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. Since only 33 per cent of the student body lives in organized houses scattered helter-skelter around town, he droppedthe section devoted to these students and their housemothers. 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. April 15, 1960 The New A WS, L. to R., Joan Kulbilski, Bonnie Baker, Sylvia Aldrich, and'Lynne Engelson WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 15 - Page 6 ---------- The Softness Around Us "Materialism and Payola the Symptoms Of the Softness of American Society"Students Hurrying to Take Their Places Around the Maypole "If I wanted to destroy a nation, I would giveit too much and I would have it on its knees, miserable, greedy and sick . . ." â€”John Steinbeck Pourprominent Americans, writing in the New Republic, decided that John Steinbeck shoudl not be given thechance. 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 votesâ€”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.

Hot-footing Denny Driskill from Central won the pole-vault, the 220 low hurdles, the 440 yarddash, and ran on the winning relay team as the PETE KEMPE Frosh Discuss Flash CWC Wildcatsdowned the Viks 68% to 6V/2 in a dual meet last Saturday. Driskill, a sophomore from John RogersHigh School in Spokane, also placed in the broad-jump. Neck and Neck Into Relay Don Tretheway andJerry Joyce were double winners for Western, Tretheway winning the 880 and the two-mile run, andJoyce, the 100 and the 220 yard dash. Both teams were neck and neck going into the relay, with thewinner of that race winning the meet. Central won the race. Tom Davis, Western's hope in the hurdles,ran against a tough field and could only gather a pair of second places. Another soft spot in the Viklineup was the lack of broad-jumping Sam Martin who was out with a leg injury. Next week the Vikscontest Eastern Washington College in Cheney in a meet that should prove to be a tough contest forWestern. The Savages possess the 1959 conference mile and high-hurdle champs in Ken Carpenterand Stan Rhodes.

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. GOLF Ewart Medalist A medalist effort of 76 by Dave Ewart went unheeded asWestern was edged by Seattle Pacific College 7-8 in match play in Seattle last Friday. Ewart counted2V2 points for Western; Jack Scruggs, 3, and Dennis Myers, 1%, in the Viks' first match of theseason. TENNIS All But One Singles Western's talented net men won all but one singles match herelast Saturday as they downed PLC 4-3, and gained their first conference victory this season.

Shefelman, prominent Seattle lawyer and member of the Washington State Board of Education.The speaker has played an active part in educational development in Washington. He was chairman ofthe Washington State Delegation to the White House Conference on Education last year, and a yearearlier served as chairman of the Evaluation Committee of the Governor's Conference on Education.Prom 1948 to 1954 he was a member of the City Planning Commission of Seattle, and served aschairman of the commisison from 1950 to 1952.

Instead of saying the customary "thirty," the journalistic term for ending or finish,this half-size edition of the C o l l e g i a n is planned to say only "fifteen." In other words, we're trying to say our work is only half done, and we'll be back fall quarter. Till thenâ€”"FIFTEEN!" COLLEGIAN Vol.XXVIII, No. 32 June 7, 1956 The climax of the graduating seniors' traditional Class Day came Tuesdaywith the placing of name cards in the receptacle in Memory Walk by Dave Northrup, class president,and Bob Doyle, vice-president. Graduates and faculty appeared in caps and gowns in front of Old Main,where Chuck Dennis read "An Old Man's Thoughts of School," and the whole group sang "Auld LangSyne." Gay young blades of grass were jubilantly trampled in one of the rare times of the year whenpeople were expected to walk on the grass. Highlight of the Class Day assembly, where the year'sawards are announced, was the presentation of the Freshman Cup for scholarship to Karen Roberts.Miss Roberts, who has maintained a 4.0 grade point for the year was presented the cup by last year'swinner, Evelyn James. The grade point of 4.0 has seldom been equaled in 25 years of the cup'spresentation. â€”Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Homecoming Plans, Appointments Revealed Plans fora gala, exciting Homecoming for 1956 are beginning to take shape, according to Homecomingchairmen, Sharon Andreasen and Don Six.

Thanks â‚¬H Luck, Says President. . .May I take this opportunity to thank all the associated students for giving me the opportunity to serve asyour president the past year. I feel that I have gained through this experience considerably more than Ihave contributed. Speaking for the associated students, let me thank the administration, membersof the faculty, and students who have contributed their time and effort to student government andactivities. If this has been a successful year, it has been through the cooperation and work of thesepeople. Best wishes to next year's ASWWC under the leadership of Ken Moffett, for an eventful andsuccessful year. Sincerely, Roland Sayler President, ASWWC ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1956 June 7 - Page 2 ---------- i^iâ€” 'gtudent Bodies ol ike "futuie Will be Thankful . . . t *~--~â€”-. This "miniature" issue is designed toclose the pages on another chapter in the story of Western, but it's not so easy to close the pages on alot of not-so-miniature work that's been done in that year. At Class Day ceremonies Tuesday Dr.Haggard said that the graduating class of 1956 ". . . has provided outstanding leadership in studentgovernment . . . student bodies in the future will be thankful to this class." The person three or four yearsfrom now sipping a coke in the new Student Union, or the one entering Western on an athleticscholarship probably won't even be conscious of the fact that there was a class of '56. But if he ever does stop to think about such things he may realize that it was leaders of this class who had enough energyto carry the idea of a Student Union over a wall that had blocked progress for years. Planning thebuilding to such a stage that students wouldn't object to raising their student fees to pay for itscompletion wasn't an easy job, but it was doneâ€”under the leadership of seniors like Dave Northrup andRoland Sayler WORKING ON A DREAM . . .

Collegian cartoonist Doug Smith has sketched his idea of how thebuilding may appear m final form. iNOnnrup ana rcoidnu oayier. It will also be recorded in Westernhistory that 1956 was the year the student body took a radically new step in appropriating athleticscholarships out of its own money. Scholarships had rough weather for a while, plowing their way througha storm of protest and confusion. But they were given a chanceâ€”whether they deserved it will be aquestion of the future. Both these issues pointed up another highlight of student government. The studenthimself was called on for his opinion more than ever, and though the student center became the boilingpot for a lot of heated argumentsâ€”and sometimes just plain hot air-enthusiasm for student governmenthad a rebirth. Though the athletic headlines didn't always materialize, as football bogged down in the mudof "Battersea"â€”as UBC's newspaper constantly referred to the soggy piece of turf, floating on its ownin the center of Bellingham-some notable achievements came out of the track department, and otherminor sports. Whether athletic scholarships is the cure for the major Western athletic malady will be aninteresting case to observe. A year isn't easily wrapped up. Even though many classes have placed theirblocks of marble in memory walk, there are still a great many to go. The work of the class of '56 will bebehind the memories contained in many of the stones yet to be placed. The Collegian itself would like toextend its thanks to two columnists who will be graduating. "Scrib," as everyone calls her and BobDunlap, though they brought "internecine warfare" to the pages of the Collegian, provided top-interestmaterial. We have received many comments on their writing.

Last Psychologist Lectures DR. NEAL MILLER by Lillian Moir A Yalepsychologist and former Bellingham resident wound up a series of lectures on "New Dimen- Dr. NealMiller, Yale Psychologist sions in Intellect" Monday evening with a speech on "Fear and Courage" in thecollege auditorium. Dr. Neal Miller defined fear as a drive than an individual can use to turn a possibledisaster into a constructive action. However, fear can lead to destruction, if not met, he said. The most important factor about fear is not the fear itself, but the method by which it is handled, according to Dr.Miller. The nationally-known psychologist and president of the American Psychological Assn. cited as an example the student who, fearing a test, avoids studying instead of coming to grips with the fear. Dr.Miller emphasized that this is different from the lazy student. Dr. Miller's speech drew an olderaudience than the previous speakers. Many attending were professionals and understood the moretechnical portions of his lecture. Dr. Miller followed Dr. Jerome Bruner and Dr. Gordon Allport, bothHarvard psychologists, who spoke on "The Educational Processes and Its Dimensions" and "ThePsychologist's Image of Man." The three appeared under a grant from the Bellingham Chamber ofCommerce. Dr. Miller is the son of Dr. Irving Miller, a former chairman of Western's Department ofEducation.

The Viking Sounders, a club of 30 members, which was founded inJanuary of this year, represents the college in its undersea activities. The club was instituted by severalinterested .persons who took their time and efiort to interest and give instruction in the proper use of diving equipment to novices. Many of the club members have found the course a useful aid in biology classes. Specimens found on the floor oi' Puget Sound could only be shown by picture, but with theadvent of diving, the real thing can be presented to the class. Also the club members supplement theirfood WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN August 4, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 August 4 - Page 3 ---------- bills with delicacies from the sea floor. According to club intructor Ken Baker, the Puget Sound offersmany interesting species and aifords some of the best diving known. There are few if any dangerousspecies in the Sound, which makes diving more comfortable. Last week, the Sounders held what theyhope will become a frequent event, a picnic and dive at the Keystone ferry terminal on WhidbeyIsland. Loaded with scuba gear and spearguns, the Sounders and their families spent the dayexploring beaches and underwater haunts oif the breakwater where the ferry, "Defiance," begins andends its hourly run to Port Townsend. The exceptional visibility in the area allowed extended dives to the depths of 50 to 60 feet. These dives were rewarded with the capture of several octopuses ranging in size from 4 to 8 feet. Also taken by spear gun were several cod, sea bass, perch, and an "Irish Lord," a typeof sea-going cat fisih. According to the divers the only problem with taking a trip like this is that it makes the polluted waters of Bellingham Bay even more intolerable. If enough persons are interested, theSounders will be offering instruction again next fall. Divers do not need full equipment to receiveinstruction, (but knowledge of the proper methods in the use of equipment Is a must beforeattempting the ar.t The club would welcome any new members for the rest of the summer session also.Interested persons are asked to contact Mr. Paul Benedict (RE 4-1027) or Mr. Ken Baker (RE 3-4261).All photos of skin diving were taken at the club's recent outing to Whidbey Island CAMPUS CALENDARSaturday, August 5: Sunday, August (i: Tuesday, August 8: Thursday, August 10: Friday, August 11:Saturday, August 12: Monday, August 14: Tuesday, August 15; Friday, August 18: Hike to SkylineRidee ASB Movie Christian Science Organization Montreal Choir Tf~.

Chairman Jung ruled ag WESTERN VOTERS will face a APPROVAL to present the Rabourn's point of order. WESTERNVOTERS will face a constitutional amendment at the Homecoming election, which will be held probablyon Nov. 10. The amendment, as presented by the Student Legislature Wednesday evening, will read:"to be eligible to apply for the position for (sic) president, a student must have completed at least sixquarters of full-time resident college work, at least three quarters of which must be at WWCE." Ifapproved, a transfer student would become eligible to run for the presidency with the abovecombination of full-time quarters. Full-time is defined as a quarter with 12 credit hours. amendment tothe voters was unanimous on the part of the Legislature; but the pre-ballot-ing discussion was spirited. L E G I S L A T O R DAVE Amos moved first. He proposed to amend Article 6, Section A of the ASBbylaws by inserting after paragraph one: "Homecoming elections shall be considered generalelections^." Legislator Jack Rabourn rose to a point of order, saying the Legislature is not allowed tochange a bylaw unless the Student Body delegates this authority. Amos came back by citingArticle 9, Sectioii A of the bylaws authorizing the BOC (Legislature) to make laws. Chairman Jung ruledagainst Rabourn's subsequent appeal of the decision failed to obtain a second. THEN ON thematter of considering Homecoming a general election, the vote was 7-5 in favor. This ended the realdissention, which was evidenced by the following positions: Dave Amos: (in favor of Homecoming being a general election) Everybody votes (at the election.) It's a safety valve for the general elections. It's up tothe election committee to publicize (the election)."

Based on the old "Barbie Allen" legend,this play is a story of a witchboy who comes down from the mountains and tries to become human. Thestory is set in the Smokey Mts. and is filled with folkways and superstitions. "This play is one of themost exciting plays performed in, the American theater. It has the tenseness and wildness ofprimitive life and excitement of the supernatural," stated Dr. William Gregory, director of the play.TO BE CAST are 17 speaking ATTENTION VETERANS Veterans begin signing payroll forms for monthly subsistence on Monday, Nov. 3, in Room 112, Old Main. parts and many walk-on parts. Folksingers,guitar, accordian and piano players "as well as modern and square dancers are needed. Dr. Gregoryalso stated that a fiddler could be used. Readings for the parts will take place Monday and Tuesday from 3-5 p.m. on stage of the A-M building and Tuesday from 7-10 p.m. in the Green Room. Tryouts fordancers will be held 8 p.m. Monday and 4 p.m. Tuesday on the stage. Musicians and singers are to tryout at 7 p.m. Monday on stage. "Staging for the play will be very unusual and interesting, and wewill.need all the help we can possibly get on stage crews," stated Dr. Gregory. Mr. Flanders, who will be in charge of the technical end of the production, backed up this statement by saying, "We canteach anyone, both male and female; the stage work does not require any previous experience. I will beglad to furnish tthe 'know-how' and we're sure everyone will find it interesting, instructive and fun," ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1958 October 31 - Page 2 ---------- Page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN October 31, 1958 Voters Will Decide Bill's Fate ByBOB MacARTHUR "THE FACTS OF school and college enrollment in Washington necessitate thevoters' approval of Referendum 10 on Nov. 4.

This Referendum will provide 25 milliondollars for the construction of urgently needed new buildings at state colleges and institutions.Western is slated to receive oyerv one million dollars for the construction of a new PhysicalEducation Building and power plant. AT PRESENT, our gymnasium' has less space per student thanthe Whatcom County High Schools. The gym was built when Western had ah enrollment of 617. Todaythere are oyer. 2,400 students, giving us a gym floor with less than ^4 square feet of space per student.The county high schools average 10 square feet of space per person. The two boilers currently servingthe campus facilities will not be adequate to service the Science and Student Union Buildings now under construction. A third boiler must be added. There are several important features of Referendum 10. It will not increase the present taxes. The funds will be borrowed against the future income of the statein the same manner individuals borrow money from a bank. By bringing new construction to this areajobs will be created. The jobs in turn will bring about an increase in city revenue. Through the ForensicsClub, the Western student body was given a brief talk on Referendum 10 during the 9 a.m. classMonday. The students were urged to give their full support to the issue by voting and, if under votingage, by writing home to gain the support of their parents. Under President Bob Gus-tavson, the club hasbeen an outstanding supporter of the Referendum. Of the Referendum, Mr. Mel-vin A. Allen,placement director and faculty coordinator for the measure said, "The Building program at Western andat every other state institution for the years ahead depends upon passage of Referendum 10. I amconvinced that the measure can pass. I am also convinced that it will pass only if every person whofavors the measure makes sure to vote for it. Active support from every student at Western is needed." Several Bellingham organizations are giving their endorsements to the Referendum. These include theChamber of Commerce, the Bellingham Central Labor Council, the Herald, v a r i o u s service clubs,granges and some of the local Parent- Teacher Associations. Western Audience Entertained AsCossack Chorus Appears By FAITH HEARSEY DRESSED IN BLUE and white tunics with black boots,the Don Cossack Chorus and Dancers performed to an overflow crowd in the Auditorium Tuesdaymorning. Performing without accompaniment and using only the voices of members of the group forbackground sound, the Chorus demonstrated their talents in 12 numbers. In two of these the mensang without .the aid of their conductor. "LEZGINKA," a C a u c a s i an Dance, was probably the mostpopular number on the program". Backed by the voices of the Chorus and a tambourine, two of the menwent through the traditional Lez-ginka dance. Parts of the dance are performed by the men on their toes. This is done without the aid of special shoes such as ballerinas use. In the finale to the dance a thirddancer appears with several daggers. Balancing them on his face, he flips each of the: daggers insuccession, eight in / all, into the floor of the stage, all the while continuing to move with the music.Preceding "Lezginka" was "Ma-leena" (Raspberry Patch), telling the story in a humorous manner of aBottled under authority of The Coca-Cola Company by COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO.

We encourage interested students to attend ourmeetings which are held at 4 p.m. Tuesdays, in the Student Center." Joanne, a sophomore, hasbackground working last year on the Finance Committee. Studying in the teacher-educationcurriculum, she has three minors, one of which is mathematics. Helping Joanne on the FinanceCommitte are her secretary, D a r I e n e Fitzpatrich; Nancy Parker, representative to the Legislature;and the committee members. H. K. Karason, assistant professor of education and psychology, is thefaculty adviser. JOANNE OUTLINED the duties of the committee which involved helping the Legislatureand departmental heads in planning the budget for the entire school year, including the summerterm. After the budgets have been planned, the Finance Committee is responsible to see that they are followed throughout the year. Another important function of the Finance Committee is to approve all of the requisitions presented by the departmental heads. The plan for approval was revised last winterquarter by the legislature and will again be in effect this year. There is a bulletin board in the StudentCenter for requisitions to be posted. In order to be approved they must (1) include a cost-price, or atleast an estimate of the cost (2) be requisitioned from the proper category (3) have the code number ofthe category marked on it (4) be a legitimate expenditure from the ASB budget, and (5) show that thereare sufficient funds in the account to cover the expenditure. Purchase orders may be picked up thesame day in the Business Office. ASB PRESIDENT Al Jung checks newly appointed Finance ChairmanJoanne Matthews' books for accuracy. (Photo by John Zuanich.)

Kickoff time is slated for 8 p.m. atBattersby field. The Thunderbirds, who recently won their first Evergreen Conference contest in nearlythree years by defeating College of Puget Sound, will be after their second win of the season. TheBirds came out on the short end of a 39-7 count against Western last year. The men to watch in theUBC backfield are Jack Hen-wood and Don Vassos. Henwood was the top ground gainer for the Birdslast year and was chosen on the second team Evergreen Conference all-star eleven. He ran from thehalfback slot last year, but has been switched to quarterback this season. Vassos' strong point isspeed, and he is a dangerous breakaway runner. The Thunderbirds are rather inexperienced in the line with the exception of the tackle spot, where there are three returning veterans. Top man in thatposition is Roy Jokanovich, a three year monogram winner, who was all-conference honorablemention last season. ON THE WESTERN side of By DOUG SIMPSON Poor officiating cost the Viks atleast one touchdown last Saturday. The same official called six 15 yard penalties, all in the fourthquarter. Penalties totaled 120 yards against Western, and only 5 yards against PLC. Pacific Lutheranplayed an inspired game for their homecoming but could not match the Viking ground game. FredEmerson and Al DeCoria, who have been out with injuries the past few weeks both saw limited actionagainst the Lutes. Emerson was in only for pass plays, while DeCoria was used only on defense. SamMartin, who had been playing an outstanding game, received a knee injury in the second quarter andmissed the remainder of the game. Fortunately the injury was not too serious and Martin may be able toplay against British Columbia tomorrow. Denny Sheppard is the only starting back who has not beeninjured. Girls who like football players had better hurry, because there are only three or four single men in the starting line-up. All but one of the married starters has been injured this season, while none of thesingle players have been injured. Quite a coincidence1. Intramural basketball started Tuesday, andthere are some pretty fair ball clubs playing this fall. If you don't have anything to do, why not take in agame? It would be well worth your time. There are 30 teams entered in five leagues. Western s defensereturned to its form displayed in the Eastern game three weeks ago. Pacific Lutheran gained only 31yards rushing against the Viks' forward wall. Ed Melbourne and Charlie Johnson were outstanding inbottling up the Lutes' advances. For a 240 pounder, Melbourne is quite durable, having played 50 minutes or better in several games this season. The Thunderbirds of UBC are having their best season in ages.Two weeks ago they were leading the Evergreen Conference in total offense, which proves their offensiveability. However the Birds have not met up with,a defense with the likes of Western's, and this will causetheir downfall. With Fred Emerson ready to start toting the mail again, the Viks will be up to nearly fullpotential. I look for the Viks to beat the Birds, 20-7. the fence, the Viks will be at full strength for the firsttime in nearly a month, with exception of halfback Sam Martin, who was injured in the PLC contest.Martin, however, may be back in time for the game tomorrow. Both Al DeCoria and Fred Emerson, whosaw limited action against the Lutes, should be back in top shape for this game. The Viking line is alsoin top shape for the battle, with Jerry Beringer, who was injured against Eastern, back in good form.Other Norsemen to watch are Denny Johnson, Ed Melbourne and Jack Sim in the line, Len Gargarello, a frosh who played an outstanding game last week, Denny Sheppard, and Tom Emerson among thebacks. Jacobs New j, ayvee Coach W E S T E R N ' S NEW assistant basketball coach Bob Jacobs isa comparative newcomer to the Viking campus, but he is no stranger in Whatcom county. Jacobsattended Mt. Baker High School in Deming where he lettered in football, basketball, baseball andtrack. He was an All-County halfback in his senior year and participated in the 1947 and 1948 StateBasketball Tournaments. He is a former pupil of Jack Hubbard, playing under him during his senioryear in high school. JACOBS MOVED on to Wash-igton State where he received a bachelor of sciencedegree in 1953. From 1953 to 1956, Jacobs was a pilot in the Air Force. After being discharged hewent back to Mount Baker as a junior high and high school teacher. He also was an assistant coachin football and basketball. â€” "Our junior varsity squad seems FRED EMERSON, Western's Little Ail-American halfback candidate, to have plenty of hustle this year will return to the Viking lineup tomorrowagainst UBC. and plenty of desire to win." he (Photo by John Zuankh) concluded.

The game saw Fred Emerson used sparingly, and the Vikings continued to be effective on defense. Western opened thescoring-midway in the first quarter when Tom Emerson swept his own left end for 8 yards and thetouchdown. The short burst climaxed a 79-yard drive and put the Viks on top, 6-0. PLC came right backthe minute they got their hands on the ball, moving 58 yards in ten plays. John Mitchell finished the drive by going the final 9 yards from spread formation. The conversion made the score 7-8 in favor of theLutes at the half. PLAGUED BY penalties most of the third quarter, the Viks finally broke through thestubborn Lute defense late in the quarter. Western tackle Charlie Johnson picked off a PLC aerial and was downed immediately on the PLC 32-yardline. Western went to their grinding single-wing formation,and began pounding at the PLC forward wall. Eight plays later Len Gargarello was booming in for theclincher from 4 yards out. Defense on the part of the Viks continues to look sharp, but in spoiling theLutes' homecoming game Western might have lost the services of halfback Sam Martin for the nextgame against UBC. Martin was carried from the field after helping to spark the first scoring drive by theViks in the first quarter. WESTERN NOW has a 3-0. mark in the Evergreen standings, and has UBCto hurdle before taking on undefeated Central in the crucial game that will go a long way in deciding thisseason's champions. Fred Emerson, who saw limited action against the Lutes, will be ready for thethree important upcoming games. UBC .has one of their best teams in years, although some windwas taken out of their sails last week by the Whitworth Pirates in Spokane. The Pirates humiliated the "Birds," 28-7, and UBC will be out to regain lost prestige against Western this weekend. If FredEmerson is able to see full-time duty, Western's offense will be the threat it was early in the season,and UBC should be the fifth victim of the season for the Viks; if not, then a tight game seems in theoffing. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1958 October 31 - Page 5 ---------- October 31, 1958 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 WColIegian -â€”~~ legislators PutPolitics Before Student's Interest on Amendment STUDENT GOVERNMENT'S "New Look" appeared "alittle tarnished Wednesday evening following the second consecutive week of bitter debate and behind-the- scenes maneuvering. Claims and counter-claims were issued by opposing camps over a purposedconstitutional change. One group was solidly entrenched behind Jack Rabourn, their champion of thehour, and the quite-as-stubborn second group was united with Al Jung and Kirby Cleveland. Rabourn hasasserted Jung and Cleveland were using the proposal for pushing a transfer student for the presidency.Jung has claimed the opposition was opposing it for personal reasons. The acceptance of the measurecaused several observers and Legislators to remark bitterly of "Jung's rubber-stamp Legislature andJudicial." This is not a split that will heal easily. BY MAKING THE proposal a political issue, both sidesfailed to see the obvious value of the amendment. Acceptance by the voters will allow 6% of the StudentBody to run for president who have previously been disqualified because of the six-quarter residencerequirement at Western. Under the present constitution anyone who attends another college oruniversity for one year cannot apply. The amendment would require only three quarters residence work atWestern and three more at another institution. The Collegian suggests that the voter not be influenced by petty politics in Student Government but vote for the amendment on its merits. WHE ASB PresidentComes Back Fighting; Jung Denounces Building of Personal T by dave amos Before I start anything new this week I may as well clear up a point that has some Highland Hall people upset. Last week it wasstated in this column that several HH men were standing on a table emitting "Tom Dooley." This was amisstatement; they were neither ON the table nor were they UNDER the table. They were standing in aquite orderly fashion BESIDE the table. Good grief, I'm glad that's cleared up! There was a ratherhumorous happening last week during the Western-PLC football game. I was watching the game on TV(there was one in the Lounge that had the game), when the game was halted momentarily because of adog on the playing field. The cameraman dutifully followed said hound with the camera. The dog calmlytrotted to about the 50 yard line when he decided it was time for a call to nature. 15 seconds and 50laughs later the cameraman woke up to the situation and beamed the camera back to the line ofscrimmage. TV is too grand! Several WWCE students were complaining about being booted off ofSehome Hill late Friday evening by the local Gendarmes. One guy stated that the man who tapped oh hiswindow and asked him to leave sounded rather apologetic. The last car off "the hill" that night was thepolice auto. Culture lovers rebel! Can it be that Sehome's beautiful night view is to be withheld from thepopulace forever! Tune in next week. By that time I might be energetic enough to call downtown and findout what it's all about . . . PRANKSTERS: Just, a note to those who wish to pull a couple of pranks oncampus Halloween nightâ€”but that sort of thing will be impractical this year. I spotted a note in DeanMacDonald's office asking for people to sign up to watch the campus that night. They've made a regularjob out of the thing. Oh cruel world! Gone is the day of the Halloween prankster! roum By Neil Clough ieivy Perhaps, this statement which appeared in the Collegian last year is most fitting as the beginning ofthe policy of the ASB Executive,â€”"After the smoke clears away at the end of 1958-59, Western will find that it has gone through a period it can never see again. It may see years of more expansion, moremoney being spent, and more students graduating, but it will never again experience such years asthese." Thus I am writing with the purpose of clarification to give meaning and interpretation to thephilosophy of the words ASB 1953-59. I have often been warned that it is dangerous to be serious in such writings, as the public will question your motives and design. This is the very essence of communication. Let the public interpret, create discussion and opinion! If there are issues upon which the Legislatureshould be taking action and because of lack of responsibility or other reasons aren't doing anything, ask your representatives, and have them take a stand on issues that you consider important. Perhaps oneof the most often misused words in the English language is the common term "democracy" used inrelation to student government. You would think by now that all of us would know what-it means. Yet theword means all things to all people and one can only guess the meaning when he knows something ofthe experience and motives of the person using the word. Properly used, the term is a beautiful andpregnant symbol of ideas and ideals, matched only by a few words like love, motherhood and freedom. Inmouths of the boisterous or the demagogue the symbol becomes the instrument of deception andtrickery, and is used to cover up all sorts of motives. Often the purpose behind the term is the veryantithesis-of the word. Thus let the smoke clear in advance; let us reason and set aside ambition andlook to the future of a student government as an academic conceptâ€”not that of the current. mad race to oblivion in haste to build the personal "I." AL JUNG ASB President Letter to the Editor To the Editor: Iwrite in regard to Mr. "Sensationalist" Lyle Price's report (?) of last week's Legislature meeting. In thefuture, if his mistakes cannot be avoided, please confine Mr. Price, his opinions, and his gossip to theeditorial page, where they can be read in proper setting. In regard to my stand on the proposedamendment, I feel that the presentation of the amendment to the voters on the Homecoming ballot is a legal question and should be considered as to its legality under our new constitution. It shouldcertainly not be considered in the way in which it will affect my political future. The amendment itself hasnot even been discussed by the Legislature. PERTAINING TO THE comment that I am- a possibleASB presidential candidate, I will say that I have considered the matter seriously, but have not reached adecision as yet. In any case, this will not affect my vote on this or any other issue.

Lyle Price,, Brenda Lindsley Western's new constitution is not yet one quarter old and alreadythere is a movement afoot to put through a constitutional amendment which would allow a transfer student tq.-.be eligible for the office of ASB president. They say that this is an important issue, if this is soimportant why wasn't it thought of at the time the constitution was drawn up. As far is I can see there isonly one answer to this question. There are people in student government who have apparently come upwith some Hotdog friend of theirs whom they want to slip into office; therefore they're proposing anamendment to the constitution. Just as I've stated before, they're a clannish power-hungry little groupwhose only thought in mind is to help themselves with little or no thought whatsoever of helping thestudents. It's no wonder there is no interest in student government at Western. No decent self-respectingstudent would want to be associated with this group of narrow minded .-. .!!

SUB Plans Announced ByStudent Chairman By DAVE LASTER Sub Chairman Students and faculty alike are patiently awaitingthe beginning of construction on Western's two new buildings, the Science and Student Union Buildings.At this writing only a few minor details remain to be ironed out. Barney Goltz, Student Union Committeeadviser, states that only a clarification with the HHFA pertaining to interim financing for construction yetremains before construction can proceed on the Student Union Building. The Science Building hasalready received the go-ahead. Mr.. Goltz assured us that the green light may come at any minute. In the absence of activity on the construction site, activity is much more apparent in the Union Committeerooms. Oregon State College is hosting the 1958-59 Regional Conference of the Association of CollegeUnions, of which Western is a member. Four Union Committee members and Mr. Goltz sire preparing toattend. Joann Laulainen, Dave Robertson, George Yount and I will represent Western at Corvallis. Theconference is mainly concerned with the program and operation of the Union. Before next year'sconference convenes, our Union will go into operation. Policy and Union programming will have to beformulated in the very near future. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1958 October 31 - Page 6 ---------- Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN October 31, 1958 Famed Negro Singer: McFerrin HereOn A-L Tuesday By PAT PALMER fore the public today."

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 concludeâ€” '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 *Â£ ^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 â€” 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'timpressedâ€”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 majorityâ€”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 â€¢Hill ;MII "That's the third 8 o'clock he's missed this weekand he doesn't even know it!' ever.

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 campusâ€”new president, SUB, and Science Buildingâ€”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.

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 laughterâ€”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.

(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 thsreâ€”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 thumbâ€”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 downâ€”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. Â« * . i . * Â« . - . . . . . . . . .

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 contemporaryâ€” 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|piÂ«!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(?)â€”After all, I have to slam somebody!!â€”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, fiverunningâ€” 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 favorâ€” 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 â€¢' 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 problemâ€” 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...

They are very grateful for your spirited cheeringand loyal support through thick and thin. The Vikings found the UBC backs rougher and harder-hittingthan any they had met prior to.that game. The mud, of course, didn't help matters any as it made themslippery and thus more elusive. Statistically the game was a toss-up, but Tom Emerson's toe proved thedifference. Denny Sheppard, probably the best fullback in the conference, was the workhorse of theViking attack, carrying 20 times for 72 yards. Shep, for the second straight year, is among the top fiveball carriers in the conference and certainly deserves to make the All-Conference team, an honor which he did not achieve last season. Sunday is becoming the sports fan's favorite day to watch television.Featured throughout the* afternoon are pro football, pro basketball, and films of both Washington andWashington State games of the previous day. Ray Ciszek's unpublicized, if not unheard of, cross-country team waxed Seattle Pacific College last Saturday. Don Tretreway won the 4-mile run with a time of 22minutes, one second. Tomorrow the team â€” Trethewey, Knute Frostad, Dave Page, Bob Jones, andConny Lauridenâ€”meets in the junior division, under 20 years of age, of the Pacific NorthwestChampionships in Vancouver. Anyone interested in turning out for the swimming team may start working out at the pool in the afternoons. Chuck Stutz is training the squad until coach John Kulbitski is availableat the conclusion of football season. The Viking junior varsity concluded their season last Saturday witha 20-19 setback at the hands of the Monroe Reformatory. The defeat placed their season's mark at twowins and three losses. Tomorrow's game with Central is the most crucial game this season in theconference. Both the Wildcats and the Viks are undefeated in league play. Central has now won 12straight, and with their conference championship on the line, will be trying for the unlucky number of 13.Fred Emerson, who had zvater on the knee earlier in the week, has been pronounced fit for the gametomorrow. This will be a boon to the Viking offensive, for Central's pass defense has proven itselfvulnerable. Emerson is the best passer on the team,, and should be able to penetrate the wildcatsecondary with his tosses. I have picked the winner of each game so far this season; and superstition,certainly not common sense, has me going out on a limb and picking the Viks to edge Central intomorrow's big one, 21-20. Cross your fingers everyone! WESTERN SET the stage for the big game withCentral by slipping by the University of British Columbia, 20-19, in a muddy, break-infested game atBattersby field. The highly rated UBC offense lived up to its laurels a^nd almost turned the tables onthe hard-pressed Vikings. The stout Western defense had their hands full in attempting to contain theThunderbird ground game. TOM EMERSON set up the Viks first touchdown in the first quarter when hereturned a UBC punt. 26 yards to the Canadian 19 yard-line. On the next play, Sheppard lugged it tothe 10, and Len Gargarellp. boomed the final 10 yards for the score. Emerson's conversion made it 7-0.UBC TIED IT UP in the second quarter, marching 63 yards \with Don-Vassos gomg the final" 4 yards.The drive gave indications of the UBC running attack that was to move the rest of the afternoon.Western wasted no time in going ahead. They took the opening kick-off and fought 60 yards alternatingfrom the single-wing to the "T." Sheppard blasted over from the 1 yard-line and Emerson made it 14-7with his kick. UBC capitalized on a break late in the second quarter for their second touchdown. TomEmerson fumbled a punt, and UBC recovered on the Viking 13. Four plays later Wayne Aiken plungedover from the 3. A hard rush on the conversion try forced a wide kick and the Viks left the field leading14-13 at the half. THE THUNDERBIRDS drew first blood in the second half. Garga-rello fumbled theopening kickdff, and the Viks were immediately in the hole. Two plays later Tom Emerson's short punt put the "Birds" in possession on the Vik 22. Six plays later Aiken was squirming over from the 1, andUBC led, 19-14. Western took the ensuing kickoff, and moved 58 yards for their w i n n i n gtouchdown. Sheppard handled most of the ball carrying, and Husel-ton nudged it over from the 1 footline. Emerson's conversion attempt was blocked, but as things turned ' out, it didn't matter. THE VIKSnow cast an eye east of the mountains as they began preparations for the showdown with defendingchampion, Central Washington. Both teams are undefeated in Conference play, and tomorrow's gamewill all but decide the issue. Western took it on the chin from the Wildcats last year, 27-6, in almostthe identical situation as now exists. Western Practices for St. Martins Opener Intramural Sports WITH WINTER SPORTS coming into focus, basketball and bowling have taken over the intramuralspotlight at Western. Basketball season started Oct. 27, with 30 teams slated to play in five differentleagues. Most teams had played just one game as of last Tuesday, with each squad slated to meet once a week. Early leaders in the A league are the Clubfooted Five, Grays Harbor, and the Hapless Hoop-sters. In the B league the Gumshoes have won two games and the Cowpokes have a 1-0 record. In Cleague action Terrace Hall and the Barborites are on top, while Klipsun Hall, IVCF and the MetalManglers lead the D's.

Coach Jack Hubbard's squad hasmainly been concerned with conditioning and defensive drills but starting next week more stress will be placed on offense. Commenting on this year's squad Hubbard stated, "We have better depth atguard this year and more strength at forward. I think this More Sports Page Six year's squad has" thegreatest potential and best looking material of any Western team I've coached." The Vikings open their season at home against St/ Martins on Dec. 1. Seven or eight games are scheduled before league play opens in January. Returning let-termen make Pacific Lutheran, Central Washington, and Whit-worth theteams to beat in Conference action. HUBBARD'S SQUAD is in good physical condition with theexception of Jack DeKubber who has a sprained ankle. It will probably be healed in time for Western'sopener. The varsity roster will probably be selected from the following players: Ron Thompson,Wendell Weld, Roy Kycek, Nel-lo Morganti, Ed Vadset, Bob Petrosik, Jack DeKubber, Ron S a 11 i s,Dermot Cunningham, Ted Fromm, Ron Hanna, Nigel Adams, Bill Wright, Jim Rife and little RonThompson.

JOKE: Have you heard about the two engaged nudists who decided to break it up because they hadbeen seeing too much of each other. It's All in the Game~~a Parable Currently Popular in the ASB bydave amos THERE WAS A FOOTBALL game in Madrid last month. Since it was the first football contest ever played in Madrid, most of the fans did not particu-lary understand what was happening. Spain ismore accustomed to bullfights. Also hard-pressed to, determine what was going on during that timebetween opening kickoff and final gun were the reporters. One ambitious lad with pencil and pad turned in a very creditable job. He omitted only one item: the final score. Reporter Alfonso Granada, to his friends known as Al, did see what was happening in the game. He caught sight of an illegal receiver downfield.He noted two clipping violations, at least five blocking infractions and illegal procedure. The refereescalled penalties for none of these; however it evened out because both sides were equally guilty. Al didhis duty as a reporter. He pointed out the methods of both sides while explaining the game highlights and scoring patterns. However, as was mentioned before, Al left out the final score. From a convertedbullfight stadium in Spain, we jump to a converted gymnasium in Western Washington College. It is nowtermed a Student Center. If what is going on there is a game, it is indeed a very serious game. Let'scall it a meeting of the Legislature. Like reporter Al, the Student Center reporters are sometimes hardpressed to determine what is going on Wednesdays between the first bang of the gavel and the final "Imove to adjourn." Coming out of a coffee conference huddle, the first play might be a committee chieftossing a direct forward pass. This type of play can be seen easily by the players and by the audience.However, a later strategy might be a quarterback sneak which has some of the players and most of theaudience faked out. They know it scored a touchdown, but they are not quite sure how. The reportercannot let the technique of the play slip by. If he has seen the play, he will record exactly whathappened. Perhaps he will need to know more about the maneuver. Then the players, the opposition andthe persons who know the players and the game are asked. If an answer is supplied, the report will statethat J. Campus, an expert of the game, believes the sneak was called because . . . Since J. likes to have friends, he will request that his name not be devulged to the public. Honoring the request, J. becomes a"usually reliable Student Center source." THE REPORTER, using the above technique, is able to present the background of the story without inserting his own ideas; that is, without editorializing. The team maynot be pleased that the secret of the quarterback sneak is revealed. After all, the opposition might getonto the play. But the Fourth Estate is also looking at opposition plays and will present both sides. What will the players say in the locker room? Well . . . I What will they say in public? They are quite apt toaccuse each other of the sneak but both emphatically deny the play themselves. One cannot helpinserting an idea that the reporter just might be less partisan than^ either of the participating factions.One further fact should be mentioned: We give you the final score.â€”Lyle Price The boys at MRH wantme to give them a plug about their mixer* tonight. It'll be at 9 in the Rec hall. Like all our other mixers this quarter, it should be a smashing success. For the Rec hall, most of the mixers have been toosuccessful, as it gets too crowded in the hall, and after the first hour or two it gets a bit tough to breath. Ithas been suggested that the people not dancing should not take up valuable space in that enclosure andshould go outside. Personally, this is one of those comments that somehow manages to go by me. Well, Homecoming is approaching fast on the horizon. The theme is a good one, Dixieland Jubilee, and hasmuch to offer, in a variety of ideas for skits, floats, and house displays. As usual, the Princess andQueen election holds a high amount of interest, and is tops on most of the students' minds. This year thecandidates for these esteemed positions are more beautiful than everâ€”every year things seem to getbetter and better in this department. It looks like the hottest contest of the lot will be the race forSophomore Class Princess. The Freshman class has a lot to offer also.

Tm available. Tomorrow is the BIG game with Centralover in Ellensburg (and is it a burg . . .). It should be quite a show over there. Many Western students are going over to see the game. Besides uncountable carloads going over, there will be approximately fourbus-loads on the go, including a pep band and the whole pep squad. Last year the trip proved to be aball, even though we did lose the game. This is one of these things that is really worth the effort. Y'allcome . . . Delegates Return from SUB Meet With 'New Ideas' jbotn tUe Â£tudepit Ceide\ Why shouldwe support the proposed amendment to Article VII of'our Constitution? LET US TAKE a look at theproposed amendment. It reads as follows: "(A) To be eligible to apply for the position president, astudent must have completed at least six quarters of college resident work, three quarters of which mustbe at Western Washington College." Quarters are only arbitrary; however the amendment insures thatthe student running for president would at least be of junior status as does the present constitution.Transfers having one year college work will have the same advantage of learning the personnelrelationship at any college. During the first three college quarters most freshmen learn to work withpeople, while the sophomores usually learn the business aspect of student government. The college hascontinued to attract larger quantities of transfer students with the years, and it will continue to do so.Giving this percentage of persons the eligibility to apply for the presidential position would contribute amore rounded realm of experience â€”different from Western Washington College. HOMECOMING ISCOM'IN: Homecoming activities are on the march from the Kick-off melodrama to the majesticpageantry of this morning's presentation assembly. Ahead of us yet are queen and princess elections,the regal conoration, rally, variety show, grand parade, the football game and the Queen's Ball. A noteconcerning the Variety Show: This will be a combination of skits and superb talents from vocal andmusical participants. Tonight you will dance to the College Dance Band at the MRH Mixer in the RecHall. Saturday night a double feature movie will play at 7 p.m. in the Auditorium. Written on the Windand the Kansas Raiders can be seen for only 15c. Following the movies, Highland Hall will hold a recorddance in its lounge. Taking your car to Central? That's Good!! The band and two rooters' busses are going also. KIKBY CLEVELAND ASB Vice President Letter to the Editor An Open Letter to the Students,By DAVE RETURNING THIS week from Corvalis, Oregon, four members of the Student UnionCommittee prepared to employ newly acquired concepts of Student Union Philosophy to the big jobyet remaining before Western can realize a Student Union. The four were delegates to the eleventhannual regional convention of The Association of College Unions, hosted this year by Oregon StateCollege. Attending panels and seminars on Union philosophy, programming and other related topics,d e l e g a t e s Joann Laulainen, George Yount, Dave Robertson and myself returned with a LASTER ^broadened concept of the roll that a Union should play on a college campus. Last week I had a nearly'green' committee' Now the whole committee is r a t t l i n g off bits of Union philosophy and theory likeold hands. We are now much better prepared for the job ahead. A great deal was gained from, contactswith the leaders in other Union programs. A PICTURE OF Western's proposed Student Union wasdisplayed in Oregon State's Memorial Union building and was received with much enthusiasm by theother delegates at the convention. Last week your Student Legislature approved placing on theHomecoming Ballot a constitutional amendment changing the eligibility requirements for the office of ASB president. The numerous views and accusations on this issue have been enough to completely garblethe basic point of the issue. By changing the requirement from six quarter's residence at Western to sixquarter's college residence, three of which must be at Western, we are allowing transfer studentsâ€”apercentage of the student body becoming larger with each additional yearâ€”to run for the office of ASBpresident. CONTRARY TO THE view indicated by the press-speaking for myself, and I believe themajority of the Legislatureâ€”the vote was cast on the merits of the proposal. Unfortunately it is probablytrue that some individual Legislators voted on this measure for purely personal reasons. I urge that whenyou vote on. this proposed amendment, the points of the issue are kept firmly in mind. The issue at handis not to further "someone's personal ambitions" or to push "some favorite candidate" as has beenindicated by various writers, but rather the question is whether or not you would like to give the transferstudent the opportunity to run for ASB President.

He was nearly a unanimous choice at a halfback slot on last year's Evergreen Conference all-star eleven, and this year is being touted as a potential Little Ail- American. Last week against PLC, Bridges personally accounted for fivetouchdowns and a total of 227 yards. HOWEVER, STOPPING Bridges doesn't mean stopping theWildcats. The Centralites have eight let-termen in backfield spots plus a number of talented transfers.The Wildcats also have eight veterans in the line, led by Rubin Rawley, Larry Maguire, and GaryFredrick. At the ends are lettermen Mike Finnigan and John Wilfong, a transfer from Everett JC. AtWestern the storm clouds of injuries have cleared, and the Viks are in the best physical condition thatthey have been in for the past five weeks. Fred Emerson, the Vikings answer to Bridges, is back in top shape and will be going at full speed for the first time in over a month, as will starting quarterback AlDeCoria. The only thing to mar the almost perfect physical condition of the Viks is the few minor bruisesof some of the Western men. BOTH TEAMS are undefeated in conference play. The Vikings havesuffered defeat only at the hands of a strong Linf ield eleven while Central's record is marred only by a27-27 tie with Humboldt State of Calif.

His voice develops a mind of its own and comes out on an altogether different frequencyfrom what he planned. His body suddenly sprawls all over the place. He is constantly bumping into,falling over and dropping things. And an unmistakable glint comes into his eye. It's that flint we areinterested In here, for it's the magic fleam that makes the world go roundâ€”and roundâ€”and round.Adam had it. Samson had it. Caesar had it. Henry VIII had itâ€”in spades. And if you're over 15, youhave it, too. No one knows how it works, but that glint has the strange power to make a coward brave, amiser extravagant, a fool wise and a sage foolish. For it marks the beginning of one of man's mostimportant activities in lifeâ€”the Great Pursuit. Of course, man has been chasing woman ever sinceAdam discovered that there were more important things in life than ribs. He has swum rivers, climbedmountains, tamed lions, written poetry, built palaces and destroyed citiesâ€”just to get a sigh ofappreciation out of some bored damsel. In reality, there are just five ways to pursue the quarry. Andhere, for the benefit of those who (Courtesy PRECIS Syndicate) TYPEWRITERS Rentals, Sales,Repairs GRIFFITH PRINTING CO. 1420 Cornwall Avenus may be stymied for the moment, they are. 1. BE SAD. This is a subtle approach which, if applied with some imagination, rarely fails. You may act atall times as if you are burdened with a great tragedy in your life. Wrinkle your brow from time to timeand practice before a mirror to achieve a brooding look. If you don't think you quite have it, study portraits of Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley. They have it. When the two of you are listening to music on theradio, turn it off suddenly and go to the window to look at the moon. If it's day time, stare at a distantobject. Try to get a crooked smile to play across your face now and then, too. Few women can resistthe challenge of trying to make you forget your "sorrow." The perfect example of the broodingpursuer is Lord Byron. He dressed in dark clothing, affected a limp bow tie and reckless forelock. Hewas always muttering poetry under his breath and sighing audibly. When asked what was wrong, heoften grew angry. So far as we know, he was actually a very happy personâ€”and a whiz with the ladies.2. BE WELL-INFORMED. Keep your eyes and ears open for amusing anecdotes about famous people;learn the order of the planets according to their distance from the sun; know who the Vice-Presidentwas under Tyler; memorize Babe Ruth's batting . averages for the years 1920-1931; and listen to quizprograms to fill the gaps in your knowledge. Thus armed, you'll feel confident under all circumstancesand talk with an air of authority: No women can resist a man of the world. Case in point: the 18thcentury gent who made it his business to be familiar with literature, music, astronomy, politics,mathematics and commerce. His nameâ€”Giovanni Giacomo Casanova. Any questions? 3. BE WELL-GBOMMED. Keep abreast of the latest in men's fashions. You'd be surprised how many women havebeen lost because the "man fouled up his color combinations, wore a bow tie with a button-downcollar, tramped about in unsigned shoes. A hot shower (then a cold), a close shave and a recenthaircut are musts, too. And while perfume for men is frowned upon in our society, you should apply aftershave lotion to the old map, too. Precedent for this approach is the 19th century sport, George BryanBrummel, better known as Beau Brummel. From Lady Broughmley's diary, Oct. 3, 1813: "Today Mr.Brummel called on us, to pay his respects to Papa. He is a beautiful man and perfection. I think I lovehim." 4. BE SKLENT. Once you learn to keep your mouth shut, you'll be amazed how your stock will goup. Even if you're bursting with information, keep it to yourself. Nod knowingly from time to time. Then, even when you don't know what's WHY WALK?

Not only was hequiet by nature, but as a silent screen star he had to make his point without words. Did it pay off? Thereare still women whose hearts leap at his magic name. 5. CONQUER AN EMPIRE. Two examples cometo mind.â€” Caesar and Napoleon. By ruling the world in which they lived, they won the ladies of theirchoice. However, one ended up assassinated, and the other in exile. Better stick to the first fourmethods. They may be slower â€” but you'll enjoy life more. Kappa Delta Pi Open to Juniors With 3.0ALL STUDENTS interested in Kappa Delta Pi are urged to consider the advantages of belonging to anational professional honor society in education.

KappaDelta Pi Meet Lebanese Student Talks of America s Near East Policy MENA GHATTAS spoke toKappa Delta Pi members at the regular meeting, Monday, Nov. 3, on the topic, "American Policy in theNear East." He pointed out that many of the problems resulting from outside interference and internaldisturbance are largely due to religious and economic problems. He pointed out the inconsistencies in the policies of the West and the general attitude of the Arabic peoples toward the United Kingdom. Tothe Arabs, said Ghettas, "Colonialism" is a very distasteful word and connotes to the Arab peoplean attitude similar to ''communism" in America. He added that Colonialism is almost synonymouswith the United Kingdom, and since the US has associated herself with â€ž Great Britain in the NearEast situation the US has inherited a certain animosity g e n e r a l ly credited to Great Britain andFrance. AT THE BUSINESS meeting John Gunderson was elected president to succeed Robert Dunlapand Ingeliev Poss Stover was elected vice-president to replace Ted Gladsjo. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1958 November 7 - Page 8 ---------- Page 8 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 7, 1958 McFerrin Pulls Large Crowd"WESTERN IS THE only place I have had to sing in the morning in the last six years.

Kick-off time is 8 p. m. The Viking machine boasts three straight triumphs in preseason tilts, the most impressive being last week's 59-0 smothering ofthe defending champions,* Eastern's Savages, in a Kings-X contest. Pacific university was the first Vikvictim, losing 8-0 in a hard-fought contest. The Thunderbirds of UBC are the only opponents to crack thestraight-line defense, while losing to Western 40-6. Coached this year by Marv Harshman, the Gladshave stopped Whitworth 13-6 and bowed to Puget Sound 20-0. Their T-formation offense is sparked by fullback Al Fink and quarterback Frank Karwoski. The Lutherans are out to crush the title aspirations of the Vikings and avenge themselves for last year's 47-0 Homecoming humi-lation. An Evergreenconference economy move limits the size of both squads to 25 players. Coach Charles Lap-penbuschsays that those 25 men who are in shape to play 60 minutes of ball will be suited up tomorrow night.The Vik coaching staff has been working to COLLEGIAN Vo!. XLV5S - No. 2 Western WashingtonCollege, Bellingham, Washington Oct. 5, 1951 Leading Western's Vikings in tomorrow night's contest w i th the Lutheran Glads are Bob La-jala and Dick Pangallo, who were elected co-captains for the gameby their teammates. Lajala, letterman center, will handle the chores on offense. Pangallo, a newcomerfrom Seattle, is one of the outstanding additions to the "D" squad, and will act as captain while t heLutes have the ball (which won't be often). gain flexibility and diversity in the line-up, preparing for anyemergency that may be created by injuries in the ranks. With the exception of the Homecominggame with Whitworth, November 3, tomorrow night's contest will be the last opportunity for fans to see the Vikings in action on their home field. Last week's Collegian introduced some of the men who will be in the starting line-ups. This week we take a look at some of the reserves. Because of the 25-playerlimit, not all of the reserves will be in suits tomorrow night, but they may see action later in the year. T h r e e Ferndale freshmen, backs Bill Daws and Ed Peder-son, and center Lindy Ling-bloom, arescrapping for first-team berths. Ben Asplund, last year's try-for-point, will see action at the center spot.Other newcomers include Tom Rassley, a halfback transfer from St. Martin's; Louie Jelinek, aquarterback from Sultan; Glen Great-house and Art Lee of Burlington; Ari Roberts, 175-poundfreshman guard; and Don Jangard, center from Ballard. â€”Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald "MissMajorette for September," Lorrene Bergmann, will be seen with the band at the PLC game tomorrow night.

BUSINESS MANAGER Elaine Daverin PUBLICATIONS ADVISER Mrs.Ruth A. Burnet Student (?) Assembly Have you got registration blues? Are you tired? Do you feeldepressed? Are you suffering from backache? Could you sleep for a week? Or are your nerves on edge? Laugh your blues away at the student assembly this morning at 10:00 o'clock in the New AuditoriumBuilding. Be on hand for a surprise packed show of fun. (Epic note from the October 2 Official Bulletin).After attending this program the Collegian editor offers for the consideration of those planning studentassemblies the following suggestion: All persons making announcements in assemblies should belimited to three minutes. Last Tuesday's STUDENT assembly was an example of HOW to encourage low attendance at assemblies. It appeared to the casual observer that more time was spent givingannouncements than giving the program. President Writes Weekly Message Over on the other side of this page you will find a column written by Dick Pederson, president of the Associated Students. Thiscolumn is to be a regular weekly feature of the Collegian this year. We suggest that you read the column this week and every week. With a large student body, widely dispersed, Dick just can't get around totalk to each of you personally to tell you what the board of control and ASB administration are doing,what they plan to do, and why. You should find the answers in his column. What the Board of Controldoes will be reported in our news columns. Interpretations and explanations of board actions will befound in the president's column and in these columns at times. There may be occasions this year whenwhat we say in this corner doesn't agree with what Dick has to say on the other side of the page. Insuch cases we invite you to gather all the available information on each side and draw your ownconclusions. But ifs not likely that we will disagree often. We both have the same objectives; a better-informed and more active student body. Perennial Problem Faces Pederson A perennial problem thathas exasperated students, instructors, and the coop management many times in the past has againarisen to confront Dick Pedersen and the new student body administration. The problem of textbookshortages is one that, with all its inconveniences, must be solved permanently. A solution can be worked out if all concerned, including members of the faculty, will work together to bring about a better system.It will be a forecast of great achievements for the new ASB administration if they are able to create orderout of this long-standing chaos and work out an effective, permanent solution. WWCoilegian Page 2Friday, October 5, 1951 Grotto Retreat Begs Students Be Neat By JOHN FALLIS Freshmen â€”freshmen â€” will your duties never end. in this slave driving camp we call Western. Books to tote,books to study, tests to conquer, physicals to take . . . endless tasks, jobs, duties and what have,you.No, dear children of education, there is no end to that role which you have just begun. Just the same,you will occasionally find a spare moment to charge over to the Grotto for a cup of steaming coffee(the best this side of Hong Kong)! Yes, you've guessed it kids. There is another duty there. Hold it! Thisone is easy . . . all you have to do is set an example for some of the lame-brained upper classmen whoa r e n ' t fortunate enough to have good manners or a sense of responsibility. These characters wereunfortunate enough to have been exposed to the old lounge (did I say lounge . . . seemed more like atesting ground for army gas and smoke bombs). Consequently they brought their old- disjointed habits of relaxation into the new gab arena. The lounge and Grotto belong to the students . . . are actually paid for by student funds. Uhuh! You're catching on fast . . . it will take student funds to maintain andrepair these same havens of rest. Last spring the doors to the new joint had hardly been opened when people who had been here for years (I should know) began flipping cig butts all over the deck. One verydepressed character had just completed a gruelling test in psychology. It left his so fagged he uncurledhis massive frame all over one of the new love seats in the lounge. Odd that he didn't wear spiked shoes. The damage could have been greater . . . apparently a pleasure to this type. As it happened, his big wet clodhoppers merely left a big smeary puddle of mud for the next person to sit on. And this iscollege and culture. King Tut . . . and tut again! Money interest anyone? We have what is known as astudent faciti-ties fund which costs each of us a small amount of jack. Now this money, along with ASBmoney buys equipment for the lounge. Should one careless nincom (I hesitate to use such expressivelanguage) poop dig his pencil into a table top or rip the leather in a chair or divan with a nail in his shoes. . . we all pay through the nose. That repair or replacement money could have been spent for othernecessities to student enjoyment. Gabbing about money, there is another rather easy way to savestudent funds. Labor in the lounge, along with other expenses in that den of closer study, is paid forfrom the profits of that enterprise. If expenses are not met, the student facitities fund again suffers.Sooooo, gulp your coffee, sniff your milkshake, or gobble your hamburger. YUM! Now, when you havehad your smoke and talked over all the gossip from MRH to Senior hall, you will be in an extremely good position to set another example for the upper classmen . . . grab your girl or boy friend with one handand your CUP AND SAUCER OR DISHES with the other hand and waltz merrily toward the dirty dishwagon which is conveniently placed at the entrance of the Grotto. Then place the dish in the wagon(the china dish, that is) and carry on. Speaking of carrying on, that's what I'll probably have to do whensome of the higher educated yokels read this . . . nevertheless, frosh, good luck at Western . . .especially when it comes to etiquette in the lounge and Grotto. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler"Uhâ€”ohâ€”here they come out on the field nowâ€”,1 guess they've got about the most offensive team inthe country." Full Text Of Gelders Letter To Board Published By Collegian Mr. Charles Odell, President, Pro-tern, Associated Student Body Western Washington College of Education Dear Mr. Odell: I wouldappreciate the attention of the Board of Control to the problem of student text book shortages. TheStudent Co-op is the sole supplier of texts and supplies to the students of this college and, as such, hasan educational responsibilityâ€”that of having on hand sufficient copies of the texts required for coursework. That the Student Co-op has not met this responsibility fully is evidenced by the experience of thisdepartment as well as that of other departments of the college. There are several specific criticismswhich should be considered: 1. Enrollment for any one course is not definite until several days after thequarter begins. This requires that the estimated enrollment be the basis upon which books are ordered. So that large inventories of books held over from quarter to quarter can be avoided, it is the tendencyof the Student Co-op to order short of the departmental estimates. 2. There have been occasions whencertain texts and supplemental course materials were not ordered for sale because of a small profitmargin or lack of guarantee that the entire order would be purchased. 3. There have been instanceswhere a desired change of texts in a course has been delayed until the inventory of present texts havebeen cleared from the shelves. 4. The Student Co-op at present will handle certain special materialdesired by departments only because extra copies are absorbed by the department. In many classesinsufficient text supply works a hardship upon both the instructor and the student. Those classes withlarge enrollment find the library inadequately supplied with the source material that has to be substitutedfor the text. In certain specialized courses no other resources are available. The manager of theStudent Co-op has the problem of operating the store as efficiently as possible. He has expresed uponoccasions that he has not had the complete cooperation from the faculty regarding book orders and hasbeen forced to take losses because of improper ordering and sudden changes of texts. The handling ofsmall profit material is not desirable because the time and effort required to dispose of it outweighs theprofit. It is not the desire of the undersigned to criticize the manager of the Student Co-op but, rather tofocus the attention of the Board of Control upon existing facts with the hope that some action can betaken to remedy an exasperating condition. Somewhere between the responsibility of the Co-op toprovide sufficient text materials at the beginning of the quarter and the necessity to operate the bookstore on a paying basis should exist some answer. Thanks you for your attention and consideration.Respectfully yours, HARVEY M. GELDER Assistant Mathematics Professor. By DICK PEDERSONThis column in our weekly Collegian was originated by Eddie Hickenbottom, last year's ASBpresident. Eddie, a World War II disabled veteran, who deserves a great deal of credit for manyimprovements about our campus. It is our belief that if the student body is well informed there will befewer misunderstands to block progress and efficiency in student government. We can't get around totalk to each of you personally to tell you what the board of control and ASB administration are doing orplan to do. We hope that this column will inform the student body and arouse student interest. Thisfirst week we would like to go out on the end of the limb and express an opinion of our own. We might besaying the unheard of as far as many members of the student body, faculty, and alumni are concerned,but to us this matter has been a sore spot since our first days at Western. Thanks to Mr. Don Walter,Western's band director, we have an original fight song. Why, then, can't we have an original hymn tothe Alma Mater? We realize that Cornell's "High Above Cayugas Waters" is truly a fine hymn, but whymust every grade and high school, as well as hundreds of colleges, copy Cornell's Alma Mater. Let's not be sentimentalists clinging to a clumsy tradition. Let's get an original hymn that we'll be proud to sing toour Alma Mater. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1951 October 5 - Page 3 ---------- WWCollegian Page 3 -Friday, October 5, 1951 Music Groups Formed by Dr. D'Andrea Two orchestraswill begin rehearsals in Room 217 of the new Auditorium-Music building next week.

"My Six Convicts"Author Talks Here "No chapter in my life can equal the color, excitement and appeal of that which isreported in "My Six Convicts," said Dr. Donald Powell Wilson, consultant in psychology and author of the 1951 Book-of-the-Month club selection, who addressed the first Artist and Lecture seriesassembly for fall quarter in the music-auditorium building this morning. In the early 30's Dr. Wilsonaccepted a post with the United States Public Health Service to investigate the relationship betweencriminality and drug addiction of the prisoners at Fort Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas. For hisproject, a regular staff of assistants was needed. DR. POWELL WH.SON He had two thousand mento choose fromâ€”all convicts. He selected six and it is upon their personalities that his fsacinating bookmainly turns. Half of Dr. Wilson's work was done once he had gained the good-will of these six, whowould in turn secure for him the goodwill of their fellow prisoners. This was not easy; he had beenwarned when he started his three-year study: "You'd better be a bright guy, or you may be a dead one."As prison psychologist, Dr. Wilson came to know their experiences. The idea of recording hisexperiences at Fort Leavenworth Penitentiary never occurred to Dr. Wilson while he was there. Hemade no notes, kept no records apart from the research data.. However, at the urging of friends, hebegan to think about writing the bookâ€”sometime. After a long delay, in which many changes tookplace in prison personnel and administration, a chance meeting with one of the former inmates gavehim the impetus to start writing the dramatic story-v The theme of his book? "Most people," says Dr.Wilson, "think of prisoners in the same terms that 19th century writers built their impossible fictionalcharacters: with no good in the worst of them and no bad in the best of them. If my book differs fromother current literature on prisons of today, it may be because I have tried to let the voice of theprisoner be heard in a society that, by its penal philosophy, is still all but silencing that voice. In thissense, perhaps my book is unique. But first and last, the book is my memory of my men, who I hopehave turned out all right, and some of whom, I suppose, have not. I have never tried to find out aboutthem." (fax StottcenA, *)*c. PRINTERS . . .

Sophomore Vic Lee whipped off the most spectacular run of the night when he tookoff on a 69 yard jaunt that ended with the 7th big "O" team score. The D team shared scoring honorswith the offensive unit when backs Roy Richardson and Eldon O d le picked off Savage passes andreturned them for touchdowns. Richardson returned his pass 48 yards while Odle returned hisinterception 59 yards. The defensive unit spearheaded by the five man defensive line blocked twoEastern punts and held the visitors to a net offensive gain of 84 yards. The Eastern squad, held withintheir own 50 yard line, never put together a scoring threat. Dick Pangallo, defensive lineman, blocked his third punt in t h r ee games.

WWCollegian Page 4Friday, October 5, 1951 Lutes-Wildcats Lead League For This Week Pacific Lutheran pulled the upsetof the week in conference play, as they beat a two touchdown favorite Whitworth 13 to 6. Hard chargingbacks scored both of the L u t es touchdowns. Whitworths only score came on a pass play from EdKretz to Sam Adams. The pass was from 14 yards out, and was one of the few times the Pirates gaveMarv Harshman's crew any trouble during the afternoon. The British Columbia Thunder-birds gained atie with Carroll college of Helena, Montanaâ€”13 to 13. Although the Thunderbirds aren't actually in the Evergreen football conference yet, they do play most of the teams, and will be considered playingmembers next year. In the other game that counted in the conference standings, the Loggers of CPSdropped Central 20 to 6. It was the fumbling of the Wildcats that cost them the game, as two miscues set up the first two tallies for the Loggers. The longest play of the day was a pass and runcombination of CPSâ€”Art Viafort to Jack Fabulichâ€”for 60 yards and a touchdown. Here is thestanding of the conference after the first week of play. It is well to note here that the Eastern gamehere was a non-conference affair, with the conference tilt being played at Eastern on the 27th of thismonth.

Western has awonderful start. In three games they have scored 107 points, while holding their opponents to a mere 6. It is Pacific Lutheran this Saturday night, and they are at the top of the league. The Lutes could be thesurprise team of the conference, as they downed a favored Whitworth squad last week, 13 to 6. I t should be a good game, but let's hope the Viks, and their followers are happy tomorrow night around 10:15. * * * Pinky Bennettâ€”that busy pep chairmanâ€”will have his hands full tomorrow, with the Pep Rally at 2:15, and getting everybody settled at the game tomorrow night. Along with all the work that goes into thehome games, Pinky is getting chartered busses for all of the games away from homeâ€”including theEeastern and Central games. There will be more announced on this later, but let's all follow the Vikingsto UBC next week. I t was the Thunderbird squad that scored the only touchdown against the Vikings inour first three ball games. They also led the Viksâ€”the only team to do t h a t so far this year. Reportsfrom Tacoma's two schoolsâ€”PLC and CPSâ€”say they think Western's all-conference fullback isthrough. Don't know if there were any scouts up looking over the Viks last week, but that 23 points NormHash scored doesn't make it look like the old Bull is ready for the glue factory yet. Me thinks someschools were having a large pipe dreamâ€”or wishful thinking, maybe. Like to give a big pat on the backto the students who sat in the rooting section through the moisture Saturday night. It was a cold, wetevening, but the ciieer squad and* the Vik rooters kept the football team just hot and going. Along withthat the band really kept up the pep and enthusiasm. It was a change upward to see such a peppygroup of studentsâ€”cheer squadâ€”and band at the ball game. There'll be many tonsils added thisSaturday night with the returning students backâ€”let's hear all the more from the rooting section. TheNew York Giants, a clutch team to beat all of the clutch clubs in the history of baseball, have done theimpossible. I t has been many a decade since the high and mighty Yankees have been beaten in anopening world series game, but those boys with a giant killing attitude did it after just finishing aCinderella game in the National league race. All baseball fans will have their ears glued this morning andearly afternoon to game two of the series-win. lose or tie the seven game World Series, the Giants aretruly a miracle team. This years New York Giants top all teams in the ability to come back and snatchgames from defeat. Their climb from the cellar to the championship and the final game win with one outin the ninth.

A. Brouillard won the prizemoney offered by the winter quarter Writer, it was announced Wednesday by Harold Ogden, adviser.Brouillard will receive $25 for his first place short story, 1 he Twenty-Second Day of Christmas." MissRaymond will be awarded $15 for her prize-winning essay "Music'and Mr. Schwartz. Both poetry prizes go ttoo Pete LeCompte; first prize of $15 for "Noon on Surrealism Street" and second prize of $10 for"Lampand-ashtray." The winners will receive their cash awards along with the spring-quarter awardsat the end of this quarT ter. Following tradition the manuscripts from the winter quarter Writer weresent to the creative writing department of another college; in this case it was the University ofWashington. There the essays were judged by Dr. Porter and G. Perrin, author of "Writers Guide andIndex" and past president of the Association of English Teachers; the poems by Dr. LawrenceGillman, author of numerous books on poetry and its creation; and the short stories by Markham Harris,novelist and author of "High Morning Fog." Second . place awards were not presented in the essay andpoetry divisions. Speaking for himself, as well as the other judges H a r r is wrote they felt they shouldrefrain from designating seconds on the occasion . . . not because the quality of the pieces does notwarrant a second prize. It is rather that we'd feel obligated to award double or even triple second places,which hardly seems sensible." On Monday, April 30, at 4 p. m., the campus judges will pick thesuccessful aspirants for the $85 offered by the spring Writer. Qualifications for the short story, essayand poetry awards will be selection for publication in the spring edition. Judges will include Stan Lilian, short story editor; Kathy Garrett, essay editor; pete LeCompte, poetry editor; and Marilee Weaver,Jack Ryan, Rex Crase, Bill Brouillard, Julia Owens, (Continued on Page 6) Tolo Plans Toddle AlongToward May 4 Have you noticed the smug looks of the men students'lately as they walk along campus,or the conniving smiles of the girls as they chatter between classes?

There will also be a performance given at 8:15p. m. The College Chamber Orchestra, Frank D'Andrea, director, will accompany the Bagarottis.Bagarotti, called "the best interpreter of Mozart," will present several concertos by that notedcomposer. The morning performance will consist of the Concerto in D Major, No. 4, for violin andorchestra, and a Concerto in A Major. The eveni n g performance will consist of three more selectionsfrom Mozart. Bagarotti was introduced to American audiences at the Stadium Concerts in July 1949,.under the baton of Pierre Monteux. During the season of 1950 he appeared in Town Hall in a programcomposed of three Haydn Concertos with Chamber Orchestra. During the season of 1951-52 hepresented for the first time in this country all of the Mozart violin concertos with orchestra. Bagarottipreviously presented the same program in Lausanne, Switzerland, Paris, France, and' Madrid, Spain."Mr. Bagarottifs interpretations have warmth, gusto and prevailing virtuosityâ€”his playing is full-blooded and exciting," remarked Olin Downes of the New York Times. "His playing has the authentic ring," said Robert Bagar of the New York World Telegram and Sun.

JoanneHeritage, chairman of the beard growing contest, reports that over seventy have signed the roster for thecontest, as of last Monday. The skit assembly to be held during the regular assembly time in theCollege Auditorium on the morning of Campus Day is one of the features of the day. ChairmanRomerdahl urges all organized groups to "drag out their tallest discovery-type stories for thÂ« occasion." A discovery snow is a gross exaggeration of the truth and need not pertain in reality to "discovery," he explained. Groups planning to present skits are reminded that by May 4 a tentative outline of theskits should bÂ» in presentable form. As is the procedure on Campus Day, all students with athleticabil-' ity of doubtful nature are given a chance to display their talents.

One can only wonder that so few students were interested enough to attend it.Why can't we have a larger audience at events such as this? Certainly it is not flattering to an artist toplay to a nearly empty auditorium, and student apathy does not give visitors a favorable impression ofour school. Evidently Western's students do not appreciate the opportunities offered them by our A L Series, which is a lamentable state of affairs. Molly Raymond Pianist Displays inner Fire, SpiritualDepth' By MOLLY RAYMOND An inner fire and depth of emotionality, rare in an era of plentiful virtuosos, was conveyed to her audience by pianist Adele Marcus, who appeared in concert in the WWCEAuditorium April 24. Three major works were played by Miss Marcus: the Brahms Sonata in F minor,Op. 5, one of the most demanding compositions in the pianistic repertoire; a Chopin Noctune in C-sharpminor; and the Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN PRESS Entered as second class matter at the post office at Bellingham, by virtue of the act of March 8, 1879.

Bliss No. 12.From the beginning, Miss Marcus showed herself to be an artist of the first rank, in the way she handledthe powerful chords at the opening of the Allergo maestoso of the Brahms, and in her sensitive, poeticplaying of the lyrical passages of the movement. But it was in the Andante movement of the Brahmsthat she truly displayed her poetic capabilities and her profound understanding of this was playedperfectly legato, but cleanly. Though serisative phrasing and delicate, graceful playing she brought outthe subtle poignancy work. The singing, sustained melody of this movement. The Scherzo is a lively,dance-able movement, full of wry humor and irony, and Miss Marcus captured the spirit of itcompletely. She emphasized the questioning, contemplative quality of the following Intermezzo withits dark descending thirds, and she was in top form in the Finale, a tremendous movement similar inspirit to the first, with a strong, reiterated rhythmic motive and sharp dynamic contrasts. Technically thismovement is extremely taxing, but Miss Marcus played it with ease, concentrating on its musicalqualities and communicating to her audience its spirit of restless energy and excitement. A composerwhose works are difficult to play without being either hard-boiled or strictly sentimental, Chopin is often misinterpreted. Miss Marcus succeeded in achieving just the right balance between the two extremes in the quiet, rather melancholy Nocturne. The Hungarian Rhapsody was a strategic closing number,since it appeals strongly to the average audience, but this listener couldn't help wishing that MissMarcus had chosen something with a little more musical content. There is always a superabundanceof pianists who can play Liszt well and impress an audience with their gymnastic ability, but pianists ofMiss Marcus' musical stature are far less, numerous, and it would have been preferable to hearsomething musically more substantial for her final number. Miss Marcus is an artist of extraordinary spiritual depth and maturity. It has been said she "plays like a man," a somewhat dubiouscompliment to a woman artist; but it is true that she possesses the physical stamina and masterlytechnique that are most frequently associated with masculine pianists. Her phenominal pianistictechnique is, however, only a small part of her overall technique. It is simply a means, serving the end ofher artistry. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler active class (Bill Siebler, Dave Amos, Barbara Bos,Paul Greenwalt to name a few) it should be that we will have a full slate of candidates.

It's SPRING man! ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1956 April 27 - Page 3 ---------- April 27, 1956 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 Most People Have Several Jobs Waiting "One of the greatest difficulties our people have is in keeping sev eral opportunities dangling whilecontinuing their search for a better teaching position," declared Melvin A. Allan of the Appointment Bureau. Of the. 400 people who have registered with the bureau this year, 100 have accepted contracts todate. That figure includes experienced and unexperienced teachers. Social science and physicaleducation teachers in the secondary schools have had some trouble in obtaining: jobs up to this time,but, "The situation now looks brighter," said Allan. Most of the teachers in the intermediate gradeshave had offers, but some have not yet signed contracts. Primary .. teachers are especially scarce.Allen attributes this scarcity to "Cupid and the stork." The only primary teachers who have not beenplaced are those who registered late or are especially particular about the locality in which they teach.According: to Allan, "Location is not really too important during the first year for the teacher. Choosing agood teaching situation is more important." Although there will be some teachers who will not be ableto teach in the localities of their choice, it is Allan's belief that all registrants will be placed. "When ateacher signs a contract, he is legally and morally bound to teach in that district for the school year.He is through with the Appointment Bureau for that year unless he obtains a written release from theschool district," stated Allan. The Growth of a College... READY BY AUGUST is the prediction for thefast rising MRH addition. Located directly behind the MRH, the new building will cost about $350,000 and will house 96 men.

Concern has beenexpressed over the lack of interest displayed by the student body concerning national and internationalaffairs. Provincialism, they calls it. Sure, it's true, and it goes even further than that; most students"aren't even interested in their own affairs. True or not, the prevailing apathy is blamed on theadministration and faculty of the college. Students feel that they lack freedom. They feel that they arebeing "taken care of" and not allowed to flap their own wings. Therefore they maintain a do-nothingpolicy which slops over into their scholastic life where they sit patiently but apathetically waiting to befed.

You'll have a vacation!"someone informed me upon learning of my first student teaching assignment. I pictured myself, on anice, normal day, observing my class. Soon I learned teaching days are nice but never normal. Firstweek I became "Co-ordinator of Finance and O.B.W. (other busy work)." This consists of taking morningrole, finding out who wants hot lunch or special 205 Prosoect Phones 66 or 67 milk. All informationgoes on a sheet which seems a close relative of an income tax form. Usually the amount of moneycollected and what's recorded on the sheet refuse to tally. After digging through three types of cardsfor 25 students, it is learned that Mary brought a quarter for three days milk and has four cents comingback. Two reading groups after this, recess arrives. "Mr. Abelein," asks a pupil, "would you play ball with us?" Mr. Abelein, suppressing a strong desire to go to sleep on his feet, agrees. The game played is"catch." Rules are to have two sides, with preferably over six pupils on one side and one studentteacher on the other. Goal: To exhaust the student teach-, er. On a typical, abnormal day,interruptions occur. Two boys, delightfully putting gravel in a little girl's hair, are asked to stop.Returning to the scene of action, I stopped a hair pulling session between two boys. My kids,however, have tired of waiting for me and are playing a "highway game." Their materials are a toy truckand a big pile of dirt, the road. With the students huddled around the dirt and the wind blowing wildly, the result is disastrous. At this point, the bell luckily wins, and my little minstrels return to the classroom.Pupils are helpful, however. One day I made an asbestos puppet that resembled some animal. It lookedlike a ubangilipped coyote to me, but my helpful students unanimously voted it a red fox. Studentteaching is really serious- Electronic 'Brain' Expert to Speak On Computers A national authority onelectronic "brains," Dr. D. H. Lehmer, will speak at Western next Friday, (May 4), on the topic,"Conversations With a Computer." Dr. Lehmer, now chairman of the Mathematics Department at theUniversity of California, has served at mathematician at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, 1945-46, and asdirector of the National Bureau of Standards. He is on a lecture tour of colleges and universities in theNorthwest, sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America and the National ScienceFoundation. Last year Dr. G. Polya spoke here under the same arrangement. Offered at 2 p. m. in theCampus School Auditorium, the talk will be open to students and the public. ly rewarding, too.

Western squeezed by 2-1 and 6-5 Tuesday at Tacohra. Les Knudsenhurled a five-hitter in the first game for his fourth straight win. Bob Eacrett and Pat Hollingsworthcombined pitchings to take the second contest. Western got only three hits in the opener and none ofthem figured in the scoring. Don Smith and Gary Kohlwes scored after walks in the first and fifth innings. Last Thursday the Vikings split with PLC, winning 10-6 and losing 9-4. A sweep of the twin billThursday against CPS. would just about insure a division title. CPS and PLC play today and probablywill split their games. This would put Western two games in front. They could then win on a split withPLC, the final division games. They must, however, win at least three of the final four. Coach JackHubbard is expecting trouble next week from freshman Gerald Burke, top CPS hurler. He is figuring onsending Les Knudsen against the frosh fireball. This will be the last home stand for Western. On May 7they travel to the UW and on the 12th they meet PLC there. Division playoffs have not been decided yet. Whan, Nelson High Paced by the near-record performances of Ted Whan and Darrow Nelson, theVikings defeated the Central Washington Wildcats, 78-53 last Saturday. The meet also included theVancouver Olympic Club, which took the meet on the triangular basis. The near-record breakingperformance of Ted Whan in the 880 was the high point of the meet. Whan held off a last ditch drive by VOC's Stephens to break the tape at 1:56.9. The listed record is 1:56.7. Whan also placed in the broadjump and. ran a leg in the relay. Darrow Nelson pulled down high honors for Western with firsts in thehigh jump and broad jump events. Nelson leaped to a 21 foot 3% inches effort and went 5 feet 8 inchesin the high jump. The other firsts were garnered in the mile relay, pole vault, and the 120 high hurdles.Jim Hall won the vault by clearing 12 feet 1 inch. Harry Nelson of VOC was upset in his 100-yardspecialty when Central's Pierce turned in a sizzling .09.9. Tomorrow afternoon the Western cindersquad will play host to the Pacific Lutheran Gladiators. The meet will start at 1 p. m. at the Collegefield. 0 FF1L0OWWEER S Ph. 4999 for every occasion Bay Champion Sfiwtt Snwifo By JOHNBETROZOFF Things have been popping up every week since the scholarships were put through. Lastweek the petition was stymied by consitiutional law. The petition was supposed to be an "initiative"instead of a referendum." So it was ruled out and a motion to put the question on the ballot was passed.Anyway, the BOC action of 12 scholarships cannot be revoked now and the Athletic Department willmerely have to start wondering whether they will have anything next year. SPRING SPORTS FAIR SOFAR None of the spring outfits have been burning up the leagues. But they haven"t been bringing up therear either. Western finally took a doubleheader this week after splitting all the others. Pitching is themain weakness. Track is doing pretty good. Aside from the loss to Eastern, the squad has been doingswell. Golf and tennis haven't' had too many meets so far. We should know more in a couple ofweeksâ€”only the season will be about over then. SCHEDULE TAKE WEEKLY CHANGE AGAIN Againthe spring calendar has changed. Each week the schedules seem to change. Teams cancel meets,teams can't play there, teams want to change the date. That is the reason we hate to publish schedules.They will be outdated by presstime. Just this week CPS cancelled all track meets. Besides confusingour track Schedule, it brings up an interesting point. Evergreen rules require four major sports for allleague entrees. Maybe CPS had already entered enough track meets to qualify. If not. this cancellationwould shove them out of the Evergreen Conference. SOFTBALL POPULAR SPRING SPORT Theintramural softball games have attracted quite a few spectators.

TRACK MEET MAY 25 wm TENNIS AND GOLF MEETS NEXT WEEK Vol. XLIV — No. 29 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, May 17, 1946 Wohfo Tleivs and Vil ews By JESS BAILEY HONORS FOR NEGROES Collegian staff and adviser discuss the Negro question and find that recent honors to members of the Negro race are indicative of the rising tide of opinion in favor of giving Negroes their full rights in the United States. This question was also shared by Horace Mann when he answered a question put to him by Daniel Webster in 1848 "if he would advance the slaves to an equal social and political condition with the white race?" Mann's impromptu answer was, "I would give to every human being the best opportunities I could to develop and cultivate the faculties which God has bestowed upon him and which therefore, he holds under a divine charter . . . Having done this, I would leave him, as I would every other man, to find his level—to occupy the position to which he should be entitled by his intelligence and virtue." SOME STRAWS IN THE WIND The New York Times and New York Herald Tribune have each taken on Negro reporters; Columbia University has appointed its first Neqro faculty member; The .National baseball teams have taken on their first Negro players; a Negro was first elected American mother of the year; a Vermont chapter of a national women's sorority has pledged its first Negro member. • DEWEY BROADMINDED Governor Dewey of New York state is establishing a state owned and operated university which will offer full privileges to Negroes and members of other minorities. "The action", Dewey says, "has been made necessary by the restriction in force in the private colleges and universities of the state." Conclusively a noted Harvard anthropologist teaches that there is no basic anthropological reason that members of any race should be considered inferior. EQUALITY AIM OF STAFF MEMBER "Equal opportunities for the Negro is my aim. In every field of art, science and social life the Negro should have the same rights as the white. We made a 13th amendment to the Constitution of the United States and freed the slaves and, now we cannot hold them down from achieving all in life any white man dreams of achieving. A NEGRO FEELS TOO "A Negro has the hopes, dreams and ambitions that a white skinned man has, so why should he be made ot feel inferior and segregated. I don't believe in interracial marriage, but I do believe in every single right for a Negro up to that point, r STAFF ON "TALKING VERSUS FEELING" "Discrimination against the Negro is a terrible thing .-. . I admit that, It's one of the worst problems we have today, and I can say along with the "right"-side (Continued on Page Four) Dr. Bond To Retire; Forty Years Here; Liked By Students Dr. Eldon A. Bond, member of the faculty nearly four decades, will retire at the end of the current school year in September. Dr. Bond, whose brilliance in the mathematical field has gained him nation-wide recognition, joined the then Normal school in 1907 as director of athletics and assistant instructor in physics and mathematics. Prior to that he had served as superintendent of schools at Blaine and principal at Coupevilie. Two years after moving to the college he became chairman of the department of mathematics, a position he still holds after a record term. In 1932 he obtained his doctorate at Columbia University. Several text books on arithmetic which he published in the 1930's were widely adopted in the teaching profession and are still in use. Always highly regarded by students as well as by associates, Dr. Bond established another record as faculty representative on the student Board of Control. Although he later relinquished his athletic duties, he has continued to show keen interest in the development of physical education and recreational activities at the school, serving as an official in track and football, and as a hike leader during the summer. Dr. Bond will conclude his teaching career at the end of summer quarter in August. Graduation Speakers Chosen Thursday According to Miss Ruth Piatt, the first meeting arranging commencement activities was held Thursday, May 2, at which time the speakers for Baccalaureate and Commence - men were announced.

The former playgrounds have been completely leveled to make room for ten two-bedroom and twenty one-bedroom units. Construction has advanced to the stage where the complete roofing process is almost finished on the larger units, and the roof rafters are ready for placing on the remaining units.

Day's Activities Are Enjoyable Wednesday morning at nine, Dr. W. W. Haggard, WWC prexy, announced an official Campus Day proclamation. Prayers for good weather had .been answered. Bright sunshine flooded the auditorium putting everyone in a festive mood to fit the occasion. Following Dr. Haggard's announcement, the various clubs and organized house presented a cooperative assembly with "Vaudeville" as the theme. The Valkyries won the $5.00 first prize with a colorful old time musical show, featuring a blues singer and a "can-can" dance. The ACE club won the $3.00 second prize for their side show carnival skit. AWS was third with their skit, "I'll Come Down to Get You in a Taxi, Honey." The assembly over, everyone met on the parking lot behind the building and loaded in the cars. The cars formed a long procession which preceded by a police escort, wended its way slowly out to Whatcom Falls Park. Beautiful Whatcom Falls Park with its many facilities—green lawns, tennis cpurts, waterfalls, baseball field, horseshoe pits, swings, teeter totters—immediately took on the atmosphere of an old-fashioned country picnic. Footballs began to fly, volleyball games were started, tennis courts were filled, and chow hounds gathered at the kitchen to watch the cooks in action. Soon after the arrival at the park, (Continued on Page Four) Students Will Vote This Wednesday In All-School Election Don Packard and Jim Sanford are the candidates to run for Associated Student Body President in the all-school election on Wednesday, May 22. Both of these boys are active in school affairs. Jim is a member of the Collegian council, and Don, besides his other activities, is a committee chairman for Campus Day. Don Brown and Margaret Johnston are competing for .the office of vice-president, and those candidates for Board of Control are Pat Temperley and Donna Redmond running for four-quarter woman, La-. Verne Brockmeir and Mickey Smith up for four-quarter man or woman, arid Ted Gary and Carl Lin-dell for two-quarter man or woman. These candidates have been introduced in this morning's assembly and everyone is urged to take an interest in the student officers and vote. Chairmen Thankful We, Campus Day chairmen for 1946, want to extend our many and hearty thanks to the people who gave so much of their time and put out so much effort to make this year's Campus Day a complete success. The planning and carrying out of an affair of this sort cannot be accomplished by one or two people. Many conscientious committee members are needed to work on the various committees and to cooperate with others to meet the many problems encountered. This year, there was no lack of cooperation or willingness on the part of any committee member. Fellow workers, you are "tops" with us. Thanks again for a darn fine job.

CAMPUS DAY The weather was beautiful, the food was plentiful, and the game prizes were crazy . . . and apparently a good time was had by even Kilroy. The parade of cars that rolled out to Whatcom. Falls Park was something that has not been seen around Western Washington for several years . . . and it looked mighty good. • . The pie-eating . contests were dillers . . . although the competition in the student events was rather cut down by having last year's winners come through first again. All the games were on the ball, and every committee that worked on Campus Day deserves a real round of applause. Thanks for the stage-managing •that gave us all a grand day! AN IDEA, HUH? WWC was lucky that, such a beautiful day turned up on May 15. But chances are several to one that such a Campus Day will not appear again too soon. At least not if the date is picked way in advance, as it always has been. Might it be possible to plan Campus Day in such a way as to take advantage of the good weather? Perhaps some arranqement could be made, so that Campus Day would be the first day after a certain date when the weather is fine. All plans and arrangements could be made before that date, and then the first nice day would bring everyone out. It's being done in many places, and although it involves some extra juggling of jobs, it would be well worth the effort if every Campus Day could be as sunny as this year's.

Ruth A. Burnet....:. ..Publications Adviser "It Is Possible/' Says Student Why not have the Student Lounge open on Saturday evenings? Wasn't the dance last Friday a re^al success? Can't more dances like that one, be arranged? These, and other questions are being heard every day in the halls and in the class rooms. ENTERTAINMENT AT A LOW There is no reason why the Student Lounge should not be opened on Saturday evenings to the students. With the lack of school activity now existing here at WWC, t he addition of a weekly Friday night dance would do a great deal to get a lot of that old spirit revived. To many of the students who are now attending WWC, the entertainment situation in Bellingham is very poor. They find very few places to go for a good time. Also many of them have no means of transportation to visit these few places, even if they could go. EXPENSES DOWN By having these dances over the week-ends, it would not only give the students a chance to have a good time, at a low expense, but also would get many of the students better acquainted with one another. The dances could be arranged so that for the average student the expense part would not be too rough. I'm sure it could be easily arranged so that the expenses would be very low on such an arrangement. LET'S SUPPORT IT! Didn't last Friday's dance turn out very successfully? The answer is definitely, yes! Then why can't we have other dances just like the one held last Friday? I have talked to many of the students and they .all seem to like the idea very much. This cannot be accompanied, however, until the students all get together and get something going on the subject. So let's go, all you students who like this plan, and maybe we can get things started again. —X. Y. Book Of The Week Beach Red "Beach Red" is set with ten words on each line to signify the passing of one second, and sixty lines to each stanza to designate a minute in the life of a marine known only to the readers as "you". The action of this book takes place during one hour of the many hours it takes to secure an island. There is the dynamic description of the men waiting for H-hour, the tenseness as the beach is approached, the wading through the water trying to keep your gun dry, hitting the beach and wishing you were as small as a particle of the sand upon which you lie. "You" watch your friends die; then you see him. The first one and you shoot, again and again, and you realize that you have killed someone and murder becomes your sixth sense. "You" hear cracks like "All right, boys. Leave us look good in the newsreels!" coming from someone who is as scared as you are, and as the bullets spatter around you, you realize that God will protect idiots, drunkards and Americans. It's His profession. . The c a p t a i n , indistinguishable from the rest of the men calls on "you" to go on a dangerous patrol. It is up to "you" to find out what the enemy is planning. OK, so you go to work cleaning out your wallet, not keeping anything that will give the enemy any clue as to what unit you are with or any thing about you. All set? Let's go, go into the hell of the jungle, straining your eyes trying to see through the thick growth which is where "they" hide. Your mind keeps running over the password DOWNTOWN HEADQUARTERS For WWC Students Fountain, Food, Drink HARDWICK'S Where Friends Meet and Eat Food Cry Dominates 3n4u The cry is FOOD, FOOD, and more FOOD as the hungry hoard tumbles down the hill to find a place in the line with a future not- too far in the future. No one but a starving person crazed with hunger would think of leaving a red hot tennis game to get a front position in a line for the sole purpose of getting through eating first in order to get back to the tennis court. It is this idea, and of course, the continual mental struggle of one trying to devise a workable scheme to get through the line more than three times, that occupies the minds of members of the Campus Day chow line. CAMPUS DAY SIGHTS ASTONISH REPORTER After a hectic day at the park last Wednesday, I still have a lot of questions on my mind that I would like answered. So if the following people will see me some time, I'd appreciate a few answers to these queries. Don't take me at my word, I'm only joking. (Joking that is.) What's that stuff you were carrying around all afternoon Keppy? Is it true, that it blew a hole right through the roof of your dad's car? Is it also true what I hear about Marge Leonard getting herself all tied up over something? How come men. like (ex gyrenes) Fran Corey let the army win the tug-o-war? I heard some fella lost his pants out there, too, and had to hide in the brush. Where did you finally locate him Jettie? Is it true that Jack Mixner saw the light and is turning over a new leaf beginning when? Did anyone notice Dottie James and Pat Williams tripping the light fantastic up the hill? I always wandered why the boys all call the girls pigs, but after watching that pie-eating contest, need I say more? What were Pedie Hyatt, and Ed Johnson doing out at the park fully two hours after every one else had gone? I heard that in Chuck Fitche's life, there is one thing more important than women. What is it? Where did Coach Lappenbusch "Hallelujah, and the countersign "You said it, brother" and the fact that you are Red 21. The jungle grows thicker as you watch it. Now is the test, can you remember all the book told you? You have to because there is no one here to help you except yourself, and the One up there who protects. Keep your mind on what goes on. Watch the man on your right, left and the one up ahead. What's that, a twig snapping or a 'rifle bolt snicking into place before they get ready for you? "Beach Red," red with the blood of Americans, will surely go down in history as one of the greatest books to come out of World War II, so by all means read "Beach Red".

Some one was telling me that Mr. Arntzen lost his ticket and had to go clear to the end of the line. How about that? I hear Dr. Bond has his own secret formula for coffee and the students really think it's darn good, too. Thanks for the time donated, Dr. Bond. It is rumored that Jack Baker had 74 dollars torn right in half. What seems to be the trouble, Jack? I still think that boy who played left field for the students played some fight spectacular; ball.

Daily we learn how the Totem Club pledges its new members. They walked into classrooms and gave the girls who had been voted into it, because of outstanding work, tiny totem poles.

The golf team has, with the exception of two non-conference defeats suffered at the Jiands of the Vancouver Thunderbirds, won all their matches in the season up to date. The tennis team, with its star player missing due to a ski injury, has won all but one match, which was dropped to Ellens-burg last week. The track team, which started the season with only a handful of men, has been unable to garner enough points to take a meet as yet, but has taken a considerable number of points in each of its meets considering the small number of men Coach Carver has had to work with. The final conference playoffs for golf, tennis, and track will be held at Western Washington College on the 24th and 25th of May. The conference track meet, which will include Cheney, Ellensburg and Bellingham, will be held in Bellingham the afternoon of Saturday, May 25, on the college ovaL The conference tennis playoffs will be held on the Lakeway course. Everyone who plans to stay in the city over the weekend of the conference meets should get out and back up the teams' the way teams should be backed up. ^ LOCAL NAMES IN BIG TIME Cliff Chambers, local gift to the Los Angeles Angles, is still going strong in the Pacific Coast circuit. The latest victory in Cliff's debut was a victory over the Portland Beavers. It was his second victory over Portland in one week, and it made his sixth win of the year. I n the Western International League, big Sid Van Sinderen, star Vik basketball player last season, is hitting like a million dollars. In four trips to the plate in Tacoma last Friday, Sid got three hits out of four times at bat and belted in four runs. His hits were a triple, a double and a single, which is good in any man's league. Clarence Marshall, Bellingham's representative to the the big leagues, now pitching for the New York Yankees has picked up a new nickname. "Tyronne" it is, probably because of his resemblance to the movie star. Cliff Gaffney, ex-Vik, makes up plenty of the batting power behind the 'Bellingham Bells. The Bells have been winning all their games by lop-sided scores and several Viks and ex-Viks make up a lot of the power behind the guns. FairhaverTs Junior High Track Team Takes Most Events Fairhaven's well balanced track and field squad raced to victory in the Whatcom county junior high track and field meet at the Western Washington college oval Friday, but a pair of dazzling sprints by Willard Oates, Jr., the 14-year-old speed expert of the Campus school was the highlight of the sunny afternoon. The campus speedster showed up .very well in the meet just as he did last year. He made a show of the field by racing to victory in the hundred yard dash with a terrific flashing 10.6 seconds. Again in the 2:20 yard dash, he sped through the tape to the tune of 24.9 seconds. It was also this flashy lad who brought the campus relay squad from behind in the final 100 yards. Fairhaven counted heavily in the field events to go with its three first places, rolling up a total of 33 points. Campus was second with 24^. followed by Lynden with 2111.. Whatcom's defending champions were fourth at 19%, followed by Mount Baker, 5; Nooksack Valley, 2, and Ferndale, 1. There were a number of creditable performers, and the lads to show up near the top were Mauler of Whatcom in the half mile and Larson of Whatcom looknig very good in the 440. Lynden also uncovered a promising young speedster in this man Jones who came in second right behind Oates, and who also uncovered a beautiful broad jump of 17 feet 7 inches. First and second place winners are now qualified for. the district junior high meet at. Sedro-Woolley this week. Summary: Half Mile: Mauler, Whatcom; Keilty, Fairhaven; Rogers, Campus.

Proper Spirit Not In Evidence Viking Golfers At College On The Hill Drop Match Attention to all students of WWC. For the past few weeks I have been writing editorials on the school spirit here on the campus. Up to date the results have. not , been too good. The students are still bitter about the way things are progressing here at the foot of Sehome, and that is the reason I have been concentrating on these editorials. The enrollment at the college this quarter is larger, yet the spirit is the worst that it could expect to be. What is actually the cause of it? There is only one answer to this question. In order to get this spirit revived, all the students must get together and get things started again. I wrote an editorial on track not long ago and a few students did make an appearance on the field. However, it wasn't nearly enough to make a hot track team like it should have been. The editorials on soft- • ball turned out much the same way. Having all the students sign up and promise to come out, is one thing, but when the time comes for them to be out there in person, well it just doesn't happen. For many months I have opened Western Host To Conference Western Washington will play host to colleges of the Winco league in the conference track meet which will be held on Western's oval May 25. Local fans will have the opportunity to see the results of Washington ' colleges first post-war attempt at track. Many of the names on the roster are familiar ones to track fans of this vicinity. Western Washington is anticipating a possible first place with point winners like Nelson and Lindell 'on their lineup. Sam Carver has been putting his limited squad through their paces this past week in order to have them in top shape for the coming event. The annual Winco track meet will mark the high spot of the schedule for this season, and a large turnout of local fans and students is anticipated. DELIGHT HER WITH A DIAMOND WEISFIELD GOLDBERG my ears to the cries of all the students on the set up at the ping pong table. Many of the students are dissatisfied with the way the same few sharks keep the table all to themselves. It was suggested that one or more ping pong tables should be donated to the lounge to remedy the situation, but nothing is being done about it. How can the things mentioned be ironed out without the help of you students? All that we ask, is that the students who want all of these things bad enough, will give us some support on these matters. All that is required of the students who want these things, is just a few letters written in to the Collegian ,or to see us personally on these matters and we will do all we possible can to get things up to where they should be. —B. C. Hi-School Girls Entertained High school students and FE teachers from twelve high schools in Whatcom and Skagit counties attended Sports Day Saturday, May 11. The day's activities consisted of volley ball, a posture parade from which a posture queen and four princesses were chosen, badminton, softball, swimming, campus tours and a picnic lunch on Sunset Heights. 4 Nell Kosola and Barbara Caldwell were co-chairmen of the affair and committee chairmen making this day a success were, Jean Full-ner, invitations; Pat Frombly, programs; Barry Stockton, registration; Margaret Strotz, food; Margaret Whitaker, games; and Evelyn Gal-langer, campus tours. Seattle College had the winning swing last Tuesday on its 71-par course to defeat the Vik ings, 9-6. Seattle's Zech and McDonald swung the "boom" clubs with a 71 and 72 respectively; Hardy's 73 led the invading WWC team. Give Athletes Some Help How many students here at WWC realize that we have top notch tennis and golf teams this season? The boys who wield those rackets and the ones who handle those clubs are getting out there and putting on some fine exhibitions. A lot of the matches are played away from home-and some are played right here at the college. Those tennis matches can really get interesting at times, too. So let's have a little support out there on the courts once in awhile, and let our boys know that we are all pulling for them. It wouldn't take to much of our time and it would give those few, who donate so much of their time to the sport, a lot of pride in just knowing that we are behind them. A Frosh.

DANIELS HALL • ' Well troops, here's the shot. This will no doubt be a horrible example of a column, as the dead line for this Friday's paper is Tuesday, my old man came to town for a week's visit, and I am a sick man. Did all you kids see all the Danieleers present at the Sophomore hop last Friday night? All the troops were there and a couple of them were really hopping, as were Dorothy Ryan and a few of the other fair young damsels of the campus. Seen tripping the light fantastic were, Dale Ack-ley (Normal), Corkey Brubaker and John Terry (fairly happy), Bob Tis-dale, Walt Sinko, and Jerry Connel (very happy). I also saw Don Lew and his pretty wife, along with ex-Danieleer Del Peterson and his wife. Speaking of Del's wife, I am so sure she trusts me. The other day I said "hello" to her as I passed by their house and she grabbed the baby,- and ran into the house. Fine thing. Yes sir, there were a lot of hangovers around the joint Saturday and Sunday mornings, a hangover being what a person develops from playing pinball machines. Tuesday we all had to wear plaids and polka dots, and it had the troops worrying as to where they were going to get them. Can we help it if we are poor and have to wear second hand clothes? Has any one any dirty old second hand shirts, in the plaid type, they want to sell? If so just notify Walt Sinko as he is handling all second hand transactions. What did you think of that skit put on by us Danieleers? Wasn't that the cat's meow? By the way, has any one a dime they will lend me so I can pay my dues and still have a beer. Amber tells me that the boys at her house are all in different messes all the time. HOSPICE INN Another Campus Day gone by and it appears that Hospice has a new household. By mistake—everyone shaved. Now there's no more worrying about skits until Homecoming. Don Brown made a very good nurse in that skit, don't you think? Seems as though we have a tiger at the house, so beware, as he is rough and tough% Jim Erickson is always late to his 9:00 o'clock class two days a week, as he waits for that letter from home. Herbie G. Witt was cutting a mean rug at the dance; also Owen and Russ were doing all right for themselves.

Incidentally, Mr. Dwelle at the little store across from Edens hall, is selling dates for 50c a package (plus 6 green tax tokens, that is). Let's look into this, huh girls? Midge Spromberg has worked hard painting the date room and it really looks swell. Edens hall girls really turned upon fun day with some weird creations. Most obvious were the mixtures of plaids with polka dot hair ribbons. There has been a mad scramble for the brooms and dust mops this week as Mother's week-end rolls around. The bumps have been raked out from undr the rugs, the beds have been made, and the overflowing waste baskets have been emptied so our Mother's may see that we benefited by their training. NOTABLE QUOTES . . . ^"1 had to come to Washington to see the sun!" Marilyn Lee has returned from California—scingle—but with lots of Stardust in her eyes. "You can NOT make it by car to Edens hall in fifteen minutes from Birch Bay." Janice Jacoby and Barbara Splidsboel found out by experience. "He nearly passes out if he holds your hand." So quoted Pat Loomis when questioned about the "wolf" in Russ. My No Vacancy sign comes down tonight!" So wails Midge S. Her roommate, Gladys Nicholson, is going home on a week's leave of absence. We'll miss you, Gladys. Since I have a sore arm from playing volley ball at the picnic, I'd better sign off now . . . but here's sending love and kisses 'til next week. Matheson-Whifcsell Wedding Plans Valkyries Initiate Five Girls Surviving, but in no way enjoying their survival., are the five new Valk members: Barbara Caldwell, Betty Rosser, Pat Frombly, Jean Fullner and June White. Tuesday afternoon from 5 o'clock until the established members ran out of evil thoughts, the five suffered the consequences of a Valkyrie initiation. Yielding to their pent-up desire to RUSSELL STOVER CHOCOLATES . . . AT . . . THE CONE 112 E. MAGNOLIA PHONE 3207 —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Wedding plans for Miss Anne Matheson, pictured above, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Matheson of 1768 Smith road, and Mr. Gayle D. Whitsell, USN, of Bellingham, have been announced for June. Gayle is a former student of WWC. Mary Burnet Weds At St. Paul's Mary Burnet, of Portland, niece of Mrs. Ruth A.' Bumet, and a former student of WWC, was married Sunday morning, May 12, in the St. Paul's Episcopal Church, to Theodore A. Satterfield of San Antonio, Texas. After a motor trip to Texas, the couple will make their home in Seattle. see blood, the initiators stopped nothing short of slaughter. After dousing the heads of the victims in "Gardenia Delight, One Drop Lasts Five Days," perfume—purchased in b u 1 k—they rearranged coiffures, adding a shoe string touch to appease .their warped minds. Next, they brought into use all the cosmetics discarded by Gravel Gertie. When they had done a few minor things such as running backwards to the dormitory from the P. E. Building, and carrying everything back except the, monitor's desk and the telephone, they were persuaded Birth: Mr. and Mrs. William T. Follis, Jr., are receiving congratulations on the birth of a daughter, Melanie Lizbeth. Bill is now attending WWC under the G-I Bill of Rights. Gregory Thomas is the name that Mr. and Mrs. Murray Goff have chosen for their new son. Murray attended college here before he entered the service. WRA Plans Jaunt Thirty members of the WRA will leave Bellingham Saturday, May 26, for a week-end stay at the Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island. The trip over there will be made on the mail boat and a special boat is expected to be employed to take the group back on Sunday. Arrangements for food will be made next week and all those who would like to go are urged to sign tht sheet on the WRA bulletin board. with boards, baseball bats and leather whips to carry out the instructions handed to each one. With signs labeling them slightly lower than raving maniacs they ran around for a lock of Victor Harkoff's hair, a frankfurter from the Dog House, a bouquet of flowers from somebody's yard and a tax token from Mr. Dwelle. The starving initiates were then allowed to serve the older members before settling down on their faces on the floor to a meal of cold, un-salted oatmeal and bread and lard. After allowing them to scrape off a little of the surface goo, they called,an end to the ruff stuff and established the five as full-fledged Valk members. Up And Atom Wins Valks First Prize Dr. Haggard, read a proclamation for the 1946 Campus Day in the assembly Wednesday morning. Bob Moblo, as master of ceremonies, kept the student assembly, rolling. First prize went to Valkyrie, second prize to ACE, and third prize to AWS. The AWS started the program with a song skit, "I'll Be Down to Get You in a Taxi, Honey." The audience was surprised by a little miss who sang "Chloe" until she found Mr. Arntzen. Bushnell's presented Chow-Cow-ski and Pitter Patter-esk in a novel piano duet. Georgia Driver as Beatrice Kay, and Lee Brokaw, Pat Temperley, and Mary Ann Teichroew as the Harlem Hotshots completed Edens hall's masterpiece. Valkyrie girls danced to Virginia Pendleton's singing in their skit, "Up and Atom." International Relations presented "Olie Olson" in a monologue. The circus came to town when ACE preesnted "The Biggest Show in Town" accented by Georgia Driver's Peanut-Popcorn sale. "A Major Operation" was given by Daniels' hall with Hal Patrlow as the surgeon. Faculty members were used as the subject for Hospice Inn's "Faculty Flashes of 1960." more campus day (Continued from Page One) the hardworking food committee served a picnic lunch of potato salad, hot dogs, cake, milk, and coffee. There was plenty of food and most went back for seconds, with some returning for thirds and even fourths. Appetites satisfied, an assembly was called o nthe green above the picnic grounds. Contestants were dragged in for the pie-eating contests. The participants put on a good show, making away with the juicy peach pies in record time. The longest, scrawniest, reddest, and blackest beards were rewarded with several different prizes. A women's shoe-kicking contest was run off. Three separate tug-of-war contests were staged. Ex-Navy and Marine students pulled against ex-Army and non-service students, but were outman-ned. Edens hall girls were thrown for a loss by the town girls. Faculty members were dragged away by the student teachers. The rest of the afternoon was spent by the playing of the traditional student-faculty baseball game. This year, the faculty ran away from the students. After the game everyone left the park to go to supper and to prepare for the evening dance. The-dance that evening was held in the Student Lounge. The Lounge was gaily decorated with balloons and various Campus Day signs along the walls. The affair was well attended and apparently everyone had a swell time. Campus Day, 1946, judged by attendance, was indeed a success. No official count was taken but it is thought that at least 75 per cent PPPPP

Dr. Hammer, who was chairman of theWashington delegation of 41 members, stated that there would be an estimated need for 2,200teachers for replacement and growth in 1951-52 in Washington, but that colleges of the state wouldonly be able to certify approximaately 1800. This does not take care of the increased enrollment ofchildren in public schools. The deficit, he said, would have to be remedied by the issuance ofemergency certificates to teachers not meeting- certification requirements, by importing- teachers from out of state, or by increasing- the number of pupils per classroom per teacher to 40 or 59. He statedthat none of these are desirable, especially the latter. The Washington delegation, led by Dr.Hammer, recommended that emergency certificates be issued only to those qualified for them, and "that the practice of issuing substandard emergency certificates as a means of caring for the teachershortage be rejected in both theory and practice." PASS FINANCIAL RESOLUTION The entireconference, composed of educators and parent-teacher representatives from Oregon, Idaho, Montanaand Washington, passed two resolutions. One was "That the citizens of each state, through their various legislative assemblies, be urged to take immediate steps to safeguard and advance the financialsupport of the public schools." The other resolution asked that "Insofar as national safety will allow, all youth be permitted and eni-couraged to complete basic education extending through the high schoolyears and, for those who qualify, through college." (Continued on Page 8) Blood Badly Needed; Goal Is500 Pints With a goal of 500 pints Western Washington is rapidly filling out its list of blood donors. Thecollege quota is onerthird of the total goal for Whatcom county, which has been set at 1500 pints. Allblood in this campaign will^~ be sent to servicemen in Korea Western's Choir To Tour Blaine, Ferndale, and Lynden high schools will see the college choir in action February 21, when the singers take theirone-day tour, announced director Bernard Regier. Other additions to the already scheduled recordingsession, March 7, and the school assembly program, March 9, are appearances at t he High SchoolLeaders' conference, February 23 and March 5, at a noon luncheon of the Bellingham Rotary club in theCrystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel. The Vocollegians performed January 25 for the Lions clubluncheon. Personnel of the group are Bonnie Bergh, Sue Fisher, Dolores Hach-man, Alice Mumford,Jean Rogers, Janet Seinke, Ernie Loreen, Douglass MacGregor, Lawrence Nordby, and ByronWinters. The college quartet sang February 6 over KVOS at 4 p. m. Numbers the group presentedare "Let Melody Flow," "Winter Song," "OV Ark's a-Moverin'," "The Lamplit Hour," and "Away to Rio."Also scheduled for the quartet is a performance, February 20, for a regular meeting of the Order ofEastern Star. Twelve Candidates Survive Primary; Finals Tuesday Results of the Board of Controlprimary election which was held February 6-7 were announced today by Harry Pagels, election chairman. Betty Grocott and Paul Gillie tied with 41 votes iri the race for four quarter man or woman. They werefollowed by Larry Wilson and Stan Peterson with 30 votes each. Other candidates and the number ofvotes received are: Bob Lajala, 29; Marion Stephani, â€¢ : *27; Jerry Berg, 27; Dick Pecjer- N |â€”â€¢ r^ail sen, 26; and Pat Ingram, 25. ew hire Drill Rules Made New fire drill regulations Lois French led otheropponents in the race for four-quarter woman with 71 votes. Lynn Hunt was second highest with 29votes. Twenty-have three ballots were cast for Jo Ann recently been established, according Hoyt. toDean C. W. McDonald. As it is a policy or the college to hold fire drills periodically as a precautionarymeasure/ he urged that students familiarize themselves with the directions. The biggest changepertains to persons driving to school. Students who have cars parked in the parking lot are to stand by their cars until the Fire department gives orders to evacuate them. Students are not to take it uponthemselves to move their cars out of, the way as excess traffic will block fire lanes and hamperoperations. P r o c e d u r e for evacuating the building remains the same as previously announced. All personnel in the central unit of the main building will leave by the central entrance. Those in thenorth, part (science annex) will leave by the north front entrance and turn toward the central entrance,while those in the south end (junior high annex) of the main building will go out the south front entranceand turn toward the central steps. All groups will proceed to the knoll. The signal for a fire drill is acontinuous blast for exit from the building and the same for return. Under the approval of theWhatcom County Medical Association, the Bed Cross has arranged for a mobile unit from theSeattle-King county blood bank to be in Bellingham to take blood for the armed services only. The unit will be set up in the vacant store room in the corner of the Mount Baker theatre building, at theintersection of Champion and Commercial streets. Anyone in good health, between the ages of 18 and60 years, may be a donor. Persons with rheumatic fever, diabetes, or any malignant disease may notcontribute. No examination is needed prior to donation as there will be a staff of six personsaccompanying the mobile blood unit to make the necessary tests. Advance registration is requiredin order that the facilities of the unit may be used to capacity, announced the secretary, William A.Kearns. Those wishing to give blood are asked to telephone the Red Cross, telephone 6030 or 4742, assoon as possible and give the day and time they can report. Hours at which blood will be taken are:Tuesday, February 13, 1 to 5 and 7 to 10 p.m.; Wednesday, 9 to 12 a. m. and 2 to 7 p. in.; -Thursdayand Friday, 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. Kearns pointed out there is no pain/ nor ill effects in giving blood. MissElmina Boothby and her assistant Gerry Reid show the boys from Daniels hall and the "W" club howthey will help wounded servicemen next week with blood donations. The "W" club and Daniels hall arethe two organizations on campus who went 100% in donating their blood. The boys who will be next inline are, left to right: Bob Levitin, Daniels hall, Russ Nielson and Vern Tovrea of the "W" club. Finalballots will be cast February 13 and 14 with these 12 finalists of the primaries competing for the fouropen positions. Voting for the primaries was extremely light with only 251 students voting. It ishoped by Eddie Hickenbottom, ASB president, that students will initiate much more effort to vote inthe final elections. At the regular student assembly on Tuesday, February 13 all candidates will deliver short speeches in behalf of their candidacy. "We hope all students will be at this assembly to hear thecandidates," Hickenbottom said. Debate Squad In Tacoma Leaving Thursday morning for the 16thannual CPS Tyro (Beginners) Forensic tournament were 22 debate squad members and faculty advisersSene Carlile and Mrs. Roy Nelson. Park Dyer and Ernest Benner aÂ§- campanied them as judges. "Due to increased interest in for-ensics,, we are taking the largest squad we have ever taken to atournament," said Mr. Carlile, debate coach. He also said that many beginners will be having their first intercollegiate experience. At least 32 teams representing colleges from Montana, Idaho, California, Oregon and Washington are competing. Defending champion at the tourney will be Linfield college fromOregon, last year's sweepstakes trophy winner.

Before this announcement college students wishing to serve in the navy,air force, or marines had to drop out of school in mid-term to enlist before receiving the induction notice that destined one for the U. S. Army. The new policy is intended to prevent this waste to the nation anddamage to the educational system. General Marshall has expressed the opinion that the new rules willprove of benefit to the students, the colleges, and the national defense effort. By giving a boost tocollege morale it may stem the tide of what one college editor describes as "Go-to-Hellism"â€”thepessimistic uncertain attitude that leads draft-eligible males to lag behind in their studies while waitingfor the inevitable summons. Fortunately, this attitude has not been so prevalent on this campus aselsewhere. It is, we feel, a mistaken attitude. Those who are about to go may learn a lesson from thosewho interrupted their college careers to serve in the last war. To a man, they will advise this year's draftprospects to "stay in college as long as you can, keep up in your studies, and plan on coming back topick up where you left off" Don't give in to "Go-to-Hellism."

This statement, incomplete as it is, may be found in a recent issue of the Seattleuniversity Spectator. Perhaps the author of the above mentioned sentence wished t he reader tocomplete it in 25 words or less or maybe he was strangled by the girl in the next seat before he couldfinish it. At any rate some v.ery interesting speculation arose concerning the debits of womanhood and your exchange reporter galloped forth to find what it is about the little- darlings which most irritates men. What he found! A tall junior with a rather bewildered. look in his blackened eye declaimed theunreasonableness of the fair sex. A sophomore with the look of a man who has just received hisincome tax statement declared between sobs that women are fickle. A senior snarled throughgritted molars that the weaker sex is composed of spendthrifts and bandits and that because of hisdevotion to one of this breed he would spend the next two weeks in a state of bankruptcy. The onlycomment obtainable from the freshman class was a scream of glee as the man in question sped away in pursuit of a trim blonde. In view of these complaints: unreasonableness, fickleness andextravagance, an ending for the Se-attleites statement can be made: "The trouble with women is,there aren't erfough of them." oâ€” Funk and Wagnalls will include the following definition in the nextedition of their dictionary: "Teen-icide (noun).

The problem is this: how do you get students interested enough instudent government to get them to vote? When the ballots were counted in the primary election this week they showed that o n ly 251 persons, or less than one-fifth of the student body, had cast a ballot. What are the underlying reasons for this meager vote? Some people I have talked to said thatthey did not even know that there was an election. These people then do not read either the dailybulletin or the Collegian. True enough, the loudspeaking system was not in operation, but do you haveto have it operating to let people know there is an election? Another reason could be the use of votingmachines. I know from observation that many people do not know how to operate one, so they do notvote. However, I think the real reason goes beyond these rationalizations. It seems to me that the realreason is a general apathy towards voting. Our general scheme of government is based on the majorityrule philosophy. Is one-fifth of the student body a majority? This apathy is found in the community also. I cite for example the 250 persons of 10,000 registered voters in Bellingham who voted in the recentschool board elections. One of the outstanding features of our democratic nation is the privilege to vote. The schools, especially teacher education schools, should be the place to instill democracy in ourpeople. It appears that this general indifference to voting is carried away from our schools into community life. To me, intelligent and free voting is a privilege, which is found only in a democratic nation. Nextweek in the general elections I sincerely hope that a majority of our student body will share in theprivilege. I refer in particular to those people who have criticized the Board of Control but who do notpractice democracy in any other way. Applications are now being accepted by the Board of Control forthe position of Business Manager of the WWCollegian. -Written recommendation of the publicationadviser, Mrs. Ruth Burnet, should accompany the application letter. ' WWCollegian Page 2 Friday,February 9, 1951 StudentsQuestioned On Pep Assembly Merits and Faults By JERRI MOSIER andELAINE DAVERIN What do you think of the student pep rally assemblies as they now stand? Have youany suggestions for improvement? Dick Wahl, freshmanâ€”"I thought the one presented last Friday wasvery good . . . high school talent improves them considerably." Ann Cox, freshmanâ€”"I don't thinkthey're very good . . . students don't seem to turn out for them." Mort Lafreniere, juniorâ€”"They're allright, I guess, but I'd kinda' like to see Gordie Ford out in front of the orchestra." Bob Levitin,sophomoreâ€”"I think that only one well-planned assembly a week should be scheduled, leaving otherassembly periods for a really interesting Artist-Lecture series presentation or a good movie. We'd have more money to spend on good assemblies that way. A different-show of faces as to masters ofceremony would be appreciated too, instead of the same people week after week." Gail Marine,freshmanâ€”"I liked the one they had last Friday, where they mixed a few acts with thir yells. I'd like tosee the college band up there once in a while." Norma Moller, sophomoreâ€”"I liked the one last Friday,especially the girls' trio. I like things on the light side for a pep rally. I guess there's a l w a y s room forimprovement, though. Maybe they could stress the pep angle a little more." Ed Alexander, juniorâ€”"Ihaven't been to any. I'm not. much interested in any of the assemblies that we have, although I realizethat they are scheduled to get us pepped up for the games. I lost my enthusiasm for rooting when Igraduated from high school." Alicia Legg, sophomoreâ€”"I think they could be made worthwhile; Therewould be a vast improvement (Continued on Page 8) Harvey Grants an Interview: Patriotic PookaPlayright Comes from Line of Bluebloods By HARVEY I am Harvey. A pooka. You don't know what apooka is? Well, few people do, but in t he terms of my most admired colleague Mr. Webster, the wordpooka comes from old Celtic mythology. It is a fairy spirit in animal form, always very large. The pookaappears here and there, now and then, to this one and that one at his own caprice. He is a wise butmischievous creature, very fond of rum-pots and crack-pots. That's how I latched on to El-wood P.Dowd. Who's Elwood? Oh, just one of the lovable fellows I've plagued with hallucinations and syncopated night-mares. He has a sister, Veta, who is the same way, "only strung higher. I come from a long line of blue-blooded pookas. We have a clan tartan, blue, white, and red (patriotic fellow, aren't I?) which Iam proud to say I wear in the form of a blue polka-dot collar and red necktie. Elwood hates red, but henever told me that to my long ears (you haven't forgotten that I am a rabbit, have you?). I can predictthings, and also read other people's minds. That's how I know Elwood prefers purple. Elwood has afriend, Ed Hickey, who is always getting spiffed. The day I met Elwood, I was leaning against a streetcorner lamp . post when Hickey came weaving out of their favorite bar. Elwood was close behind, so Istopped, him to ask if I could help with his friend. He asked me my name, so I asked him what name heliked the best. He said Harvey, naturally. From then oh we were the best of pals. I have the habit ofstaring at people I don't like. That's what got Elwood in trouble the other day. El-wood's friends at theinstitution didn't believe that I was real, so I wanted to prove it to them. I met Elwood and one of hisdoctors at the bar and promptly stared at the visitor. He had Elwood locked up. It didn't hurt him though.In fact, I think he rather enjoyed it. So you want to know why I hang around Elwood rather than findmyself a neglected cabbage patch? The answer lies partly in the fact that I hate cabbage and partlybecause I love to practice sUbirriga-tion, which couldn't be worked in a cabbage patch, overnigHt orotherwise. Besides, Elwood promises to be most interesting as an actor in the play we wrote together. (I wrote most of it, but I must give Elwood the credit.) Elwood wants to present me to Western'sstudent body in the campus school auditorium the first three days of March. I have generouslyconsented and promise to have all six feet one and one-half inches of me there exactly on time. See yathen! (Will you see me?) Abraham Lincoln disliked listening to complacent cut-and-dried sermons."When I hear a man preach," the President once explained, "I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees." Education does not mean teaching people to knqw what they do not know. It means teachingthem to behave as they do not behave.â€” John Ruskin. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler "And now for a slight pause Professor for station S N A R F A-OS identification- ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1951 February 9 - Page 3 ---------- BOARD OF CONTROL M ovies Out; TV In Television will replace Sunday movies. In two moves at theWednesday Board of Control meeting the Board ordered cancellation of all Sunday movies after thisweek's showing of "Captain Kidd" and ordered the opening of the student lounge for TV showingsbeginning Sunday, February 18. After heated discussion on the subject, opening a nd closing hourswere set for 6:30 p. m. to 10:30 p. m. Lounge facilities chairman, Freddie Haight, unable to attend the meeting as requested by the Board because of illness, sent a letter to the Board outlining some of thedifficulties involved in the Sunday movie program. Haight recommended that a separate committee beset up for Sunday movies; and that Sunday movies be discontinued until the Auditorium-Music buildingis opened. Ed Mapes, chairman of a subcommittee which has been actively handling the movies,reported that the main cause of poor attendance was the acoustical problem and lack of advertising' bythe sponsoring clubs. Mapes recommended that sponsoring organizations be held responsible fordeficits. Moving the location to the Campus school auditorium was also recommended by Mapes. Lex Milton moved that Sunday movies be cancelled after February 11, and that the matter be reconsidered when the Auditorium-Music building is opened. The motion was passed with discussion. Dr. KeithMurray suggested that in lieu of Sunday movies, the lounge be opened and television be turned on.President Hickenbottom pointed out to members that $6.00 per week was the largest deficit that couldoccur on Sunday lounge openings. Although Board members generally agreed on the Sunday openings,hours for the opening caused much discussion. Phil Agar, four quarter man, moved that the lounge beopened from 6:30 to 10:30 p. m., starting Sunday, February 18. The motion passed. Ed Lapsley,chairman of t he Western-Central exchange assembly was requested by the Board members toappear before the Board at their next meeting, to report on exchange assembly progress. Pirate MovieStars Laughton and Scott "Captain Kidd" will be the movie featured this Sunday evening in the collegeauditorium. This movie tells the story of the notorious pirate, Captain Kidd, who sailed many anadventurous voyage under the Jolly Roger. Kidd will be payed by Charles Laughton, while the romanticinterests will be Randolph Scott and Barbara Britton. This feature will be shown at two different timeson Sunday; at 6:30 and again at 8:30. Admission will be 25 cents, and all who enjoy a good adventurestory of the sea are advised to attend. PERSONALITY AND PSYCHOTHERAPYâ€”Dr. Irving E. Miller, WWC professor emeritus, and his wife glance at a book written by their son, Dr. Neal Miller, incollaboration with Prof. John Dollard. The younger Miller, who is associated with the Yale UniversityInstitute of Human Relations, attended the hilltop col- â€¢ I . â€”Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald legeat which his father taught for a number of years. The book treats normal and abnormal behavior not asdistinct and separate, but as differing only in degree of adjustment. Dr. Miller visited the WWC campus in the summer of 1950, showing films of experiment made at the Yale institute. Exchange AssemblyCommittee Seeks Talent by Auditions Talent for Western's exchange assembly with CentralWashington will be reviewed during - the next two weeks, according to Edwin Lapsley, assemblychairman. Lapsley reported that the excavation work for unearthing Western's "hidden" talent is wellunder way and he hopes to have the show on the road by April 13. All those who would like to sing forthis assembly are asked to contact Harry Pagels, Nick Alexander, Ed Lapsley, or George Rudesbefore Thursday, February 15. Auditions for singers will be held Thursday, February 15, at 7:30 p. m. inthe auditorium. Those trying out for a place in the assembly are required to furnish their own sheet music and accompanist. This is not a final audition and is restricted only to singers. Baritone Winters ToPerform In Bellingham Lawrence Winters, a baritone who is described by the leading critics with suchwords as "magnificent, challenging, admirable, and brilliant," will make his appearance at theBellingham high school auditorium on Thursday, February 15, at 8:15. This program is sponsored bythe Bellingham Civic Music association. Three hundred reserved seats are available to collegestudents. These reservations will be distributed on a "first come first served" basis. Reservations maybe made at the college business office by presentation of student activity cards. Mr. Winters iscurrently on his fourth consecutive concert tour. Virgil Thomson of the New York Herald-Tribune says,"Such fine diction, and .such distinguished vocal projection are a delight to encounter. Here is surely asinging actor of the highest powers." Football Dethrones Humor Football was king on campus this fallquarter, from the standpoint of news, a survey of the amount of space devoted to major news events inthe WWCollegian during the quarter shows. A total of 331 column inches were devoted to the pigskinsport. Humorâ€”or attempted humorâ€”the leading space getter of the 1949 fall quarter with 200 inches,dropped to 104 inches and ninth place. In the 1949 fall quarter the top ten news subjects, in order, werehumor, football, house news, classes and clubs, editorials, administrative announcements, weddings and engagements, poetry and creative writing , faculty interviews and activities, and studentgovernment. MORE STUDENT GOVERNMENT News concerning student government came up fromtenth spot to fourth with a total of 147 inches. This does not include the ASB president's column which used 93 regular column inches of space. Poetry and creative writing dropped from 127 inches to aninsignificant 16. The.top ten of 1950 were, in order, football, house news, editorials, studentgovernment, classes and clubs, basketball, faculty, sports columns, h u m o r , and administrativeannouncements. 'We are not making this comparison in order to claim that this year's paper is anybetter than that of last year," said the editor, Paul Gillie, "but to show how the type of material c o v e r e d has changed. I think it is significant that the use of such subjective material as humor, creativewriting, and reviews has decreased while straight news coverage has increased, giving the reader agreater variety of subjects." He pointed out that the exception to this trend has been in sports coverage,where the emphasis on major sportsâ€”basketball and football â€”has been greater this year, whilecoverage of the WRA, intramurals, skiing, and swimming has decreased. Vets Can't Go From Mail ToClassroom Veterans taking GI bill correspondence courses will not be permitted to switch toclassroom courses after the July 25, 1951, cut-off date for t r a i n i n g , Ivor Allsop, officer in charge ofthe Bellingham Veterans administration, said this week in answer to many queries. Allsop said the cut-off regulations require that once a veteran completes or discontinues a course after! the 1951 deadline, he may not start another. He may, however, advance from a basic or preparatory to an advanced phaseof a course. Correspondence c o u r s e s , Allsop added, have been "universally accepted" asindependent courses within themselves and not as stepping stones in preparation for residence study. Therefore, a veteran who finishes a correspondence c o u r se after the cut-off date would not, under VAregulations, be entitled to further classroom training, even though it is in the same field. However, hecould go ahead and take more advanced work by correspondence, if the advanced training isconsidered a "normal progression" toward his educational goal. CORRESPONDENCE MAY ADD Insome cases, Allsop said, correspondence courses are offered as supplementte to residence training.A college, for example, might make available a home-study course to supplement classroom studies. Ora course by mail might be offered as a supplement to apprenticeship or on-the-job training. InÂ», caseslike these, the basic course itself must have been initiated before the 1951 cut-off date, rather than the supplementary correspondence phase of the course. The 1951 deadline applies to veteransdischarged from military service before July 25, 1947. Those, discharged after that date have fouryears from their date of discharge in which to start GI bill training. WWCollegian Page 3 Friday, February 9, 1951 Revolutionized Thinking in U*S. Told by Munk That ^ American m a j o r i ty thinking'hasundergone a major revolution in the last decade is the contention of Dr. F r a n k Munk, Reed collegeprofessor of international relations, who spoke at the Tuesday morning assembly. "I see no possibility of a return to the neutralism and pacifism of the 1930's," the Czechoslovakian professor declared. As aconsequence of America's recent emphasis on power politics in foreign affairs,"wc are putting all oureggs into the one basket of armament." He then raised the question, "Shouldn't we also spendsomething more in aiding nations which are still on our side?" referring to wheat for India and animplemented Point 4 program. "History teaches that nations that rely exclusively on power were notable to master it. It mastered them. . . . Pew nations have been able both to build power and to controlit." REALIST-MORALIST CONTROVERSY Prof. Munk, who is president of the Northwest Institute ofInternational Relations, outlined the^various foreign policy problems and the differing currentviewpoints. Most important difference, he said, is that between the realists and the moralists. Therealists, including such men as Walter Lippmann and Rheinhold Niebuhr, agree with AlexanderHamilton that the first duty of a nation is self-preservation. The moralists believe that foreign policyshould be guided by ideals and moral principles. Munk described Senator Robert Taft as "somewhatoscillating" between the two inclinations that are most natural for him: "The inclination toisolationism and the inclination to be president of the United States." DULLES OUTSTANDING Theoutstanding man in the field of foreign affairs is John Foster Dulles, Munk said, adding that "he is wellsuited for the position of secretary of state if the need arises." Munk supplied adequate replies toaudience queries after he had finished his lecture and remained to discuss other questions at theconclusion of the assembly. {Western at Work' New Radio Theme "Western at Work" is the name of the new series of radio broadcasts being planned, written, and produced by members of the r a d iobroadcasting class, under the auspices of Laurence Brewster and the Speech department.

The Huskies are here to show Bellingham what a first-rate swim team looks like, while theThunderbirds and Vikings will compete against* each other The Huskies, one of the top five teams in the country, have won nine Northern division titles in 16 years under Coach Jack Torney, placing second the other six years. This year's team not only has some crack swimmers and divers but plenty of depth toadd intra-team competition. Among the top performers for the Torney crew include: Pete Salmon, all-American' and British Empire games breast-stroke star; Merril Hodges, sensational diver who thrilledthe crowds last year when he appeared with the Husky frosh against Western; Pete Lee from Everettand Bob Regan in the sprints; Bob Miller and Chuck Sheldon, backstroke; Bob Clayton and Van Smith,220 and 440 free style; Dick Magnuson, breast-stroke and Don Thornhill, diving. Although Washingtonwill be here mainly for the show, British Columbia will pull out all stoppers to repeat their performanceagainst the Vikings, as the Birds chalked up a 51-24 victory in a previous dual meet held in Vancouveron the January 27. The UBC splashers showed all-around strength, especially in the relay event where,paced by captain Bob Thistle, they established a new record in the 150-yard free style relay. TheBirds' big gun is Gord Potter, a three-event winner against the Viks in the 100, 200 yard free style and120 yard individual medley. TEAM SPIRIT HIGH Under the guiding hand of Coach Ray Hyatt, a formerswimmer at Washington under Torney, the Western mermen have come a long way. Their spirit is topsand their individual form and incentive has improved immensely. Considering that the team is made upmostly of sophomores and freshmen, and only one member left from last year's team, Ken German, theboys have really fought hard to hold up Western's prestige. Milt Clothier has been improving steadilyin the sprints, and the big kid from Shelton was Western's outstanding performer against UBC, taking asecond in both the 100 and 40 yard free-style. Dick Mealy, the Longview mariner, has shown his feet tohis oponents in the 200 yard free style, taking a first against Grays Harbor JC and a second with UBC.Ken German, a local lad, has shown that experience pays off as he took Western's only first placeagainst UBC with a surprising win in the backstroke. He also came in third in the individual medley andtook top honors in this event against Grays Harbor. A dark horse entry in the diving event is young JohnField, fresh out of Bellingham high, who took a first against Grays Harbor and a second against theCanadian team. Verl Anderson, a back-stroker from Mt. Vernon, and Harvey Cul-bertson, a seniorfrom Bellingham who copped a third in the 200 yard free style against UBC, are two other boys whomight upset the apple cart and place against the powerful invaders. WWC LOOKS TO FUTUREBoth UBC and the University of Washington are drawing cards for swimming talent, as in Vancouver andin Seattle there is a swimming program to encourage and teach interested youngsters. The Huskieshave members from Nebraska, California, Hawaii and throughout the state on their team. UBC drawsnot only from the vast program conducted in Vancouver but in the whole province of British Columbiawhere swimmers are prominent internationally. The main purpose of today's meet is not only to providecompetition for Western's swimmers but to exploit the swimming facilities t he college is lucky enough to have. About 16 years ago, Washington's swimming team had just an average bunch of swimmers,but they have advanced since then to national and international prominence. Western's web-footed teamand its coach think that the same thing can happen here. Washington's 1951 varsity could be apicture of Western's 1967 swim team.

By MORtf GRONSETH It seems that everybody is trying to think of ways to save moneythese days, and we have a suggestion to make, to the Evergreen league officials. They are spendingyour money and mine on the travel expenses of officials, when there are competent referees right here inBellingham. What is the sense in paying two officials to come down from Vancouver, B. C, or payingmen to come up here from Snohomish, when they can do no better job then the men right here. This isnot meant to throw criticism at the refs of last week-end. They were very impartial in their calls, and alsothey called a good game. Some people say that local boys in the striped shirts favor the hometeamâ€”hooey! They are conscious of this criticism, and will sometimes bend a little too far the other way. As long as we are budget conscious let's carry it to the league officials and see if they too can't cutdown some on their spending. The drive for blood for wounded servicemen is drawing to a close. Therehave been many students and a few faculty members who have volunteered to lend their blood to helpsave the life of a soldier, . sailor, marine, or airman.

This amazingly accurate guard has been the mainstay of theVikings, and quite a few people feel sure that Stan would be welcome on any team in the country. Notonly for his set-shot ability, but" also for his great defensive work, playmaking, and aggressivenesshas Stan been outstanding. The "Poulsbo Bomber" led the team in scoring last year with 321 pointsand has scored 267 points in 18 games so far this season. He has been high-point man in 10 of thegames and has 109 points in Evergreen conference play. One of his best games was last Saturdaynight against CPS where he canned 24 points, all from outside the key and held the Logger's ace,Jake Mayberry, to one field goal. with a two game total of 366, he was also top scorer of the afternoon,all clubs included.

Stan's pet peeve is the road-trips that carry the team intounfriendly territory. "The odds are really stacked up against you," says Stan, "and the trip this week-end over to Ellensburg and down to the PLC hide-ouT in Tacoma will probably be the toughest. But we've got as good a bunch of kids as we've had since I've been here." "They've goTlots of spirit, no matterthe losses. Three of those games that could have gone either way, Whitworth and St. Martin's, there,and Pacific Lutheran, here, would make quite a difference.

The 5 foot 11 inch senior hopes to graduate this summer quarter and then go into highschool teaching and coaching. He doesn't plan to go back to Poulsbo where he graduated from NorthKitsap high school in 1947 and was an Allâ€”district player.

Upon second reading the private found a name and address â€”that of Miss Sneed. Desiring to let her know where her gift had landed, he had written Marilyn theletter. On the other hand, Marilyn had no idea how the book had been given to the Red Cross. Shequestioned her brother, and discovered that he had traded one of his tired westerns for the book inquestion, and, after reading it, had donated it to the Red Cross. To add to Marilyn's misery, the bookwas one she had never read and which had come as a dividend through t he Book-of-the-Month club sheh ad joined while in high school. The final blow came to her when she discovered the name of the bookwas The Delicate Ape.

Twenty-six years ago a group of people realized that Negrohistory was just so many musty pages in the volumes of Congressional Records read by a few research scholars. To rectify this oversight, the group formed the Association for the Study of Negro Life andHistory. For special observance, they chose the week that includes t h e* birthdays of two great fightersfor emancipation â€” A b r a h a m Lincoln and Frederick Douglas. The activities of the organizationcenter around emphasizing the need for cooperation among educational institutions in furthering anationwide movement to give accurate information about Negro life and history. By these meansthey hope "to bring about harmony between the races by interpreting one to the other, to eradicateintolerance, to promote the cause of democracy and to stimulate the study of the problam throughoutthe year rather than one week only." Everywhere in the U. S. schools and colleges will stage festivals,plays and pageants. Some may be based on the noble fight led by Nat Turner in 1831. Nat Turner was aslave who had no formal education, but he knew enough about freedom and democracy to try to put anend to slavery. He and some of his friends led an uprising against the southern slave owners. AHEADOF TIMES It was another 30 years before the rest of the country caught up with him and the individualefforts for freedom gathered into the torrent of the American Civil war. But like all great leaders, NatTurner was ahead of his times. The Negroes didn't have to wait for leadership. The pages of Americanhistory are for the most part blank as far as their names are concerned, but they fought in the Civil war and they helped legislate during reconstruction. They helped until they were forced back into social andeconomic slavery by the prejudiced who are frightened by a difference in appearance. , Today thenews that makes American Negro history is mixed. Recently Bellingham public high schoolstudents assisted a poverty-stricken Negro school in the South. Nearly every casualty list from Koreacontains the names of many Negro soldiers who fought bravely to further the policies of our country.This Monday, the news was not on honor or accomplishment but of the execution of seven Negroes inRichmond, Virginia, for the rape of one white woman. We cannot here discuss the merits of thecase, although in the light of news from the South we can question the type of justice given to Negroesby all white judges, juries â€¢ and prosecutors. It is too late to help these particular men but it mustnever be too late to reassess our value of,human beings. There are 450,000,000 colored people in Chinaalone. There are millions more in India and the rest of Asia. Much of our country's international futuredepends on their attitude towards the United States. It depends on our treatment of the colored people in the United States. Lest we forget that "white" can be a minority too', let us take down "restricted" signs. Let's make our country strongâ€” strong in the Bill of Rights, strong in personal freedom as a placewhere no 'one feels the bitterness of prejudice. It is this kind of strength that will gain the love andrespect of oppressed people all over the world. Let's write a new chapter of American Negro history.more hammer warns (Continued from Page 1) Conference sftidy p r o c e e d ed through meetings of six. discussion groups besides the four state delegation groups.

New Coffee Bar Due to Open Within Two Weeks "I don't see any reason why the new coffee bar shouldn't be ready for business within a week," declared faculties chairman, Gus Pagels. Pagels stated that everything seemed to be ready to. go. The counters are ready to be installed and the candy counters are already in place. Two hundred mugs (the kind used by the GI's minus any handles) have been ordered for service in the lounge. Eleven dozen spoons will be ready for use also. TABLE BELAYED The committee had originally hoped to purchase ten tables of the type now in use in the lounge but the costs were prohibitive. Efforts to locate other tables will be continued and the new tables may be ready for use by fall quarter. Lewis Earle of the Co-op has hired a full-time waitress who will be on hand during the day. Tentative hours for the coffee bar will be 8:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. At next week's Board of Control meeting, the Board will settle any questions as to over-lapping of responsibility of the lounge managers and the Co-op. Haggard Represents WWC at Conference President W. W, Haggard will attend the fourth meeting of the School for Executives of the American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education, August 16-23, at Estes Park near Denver, Colorado. Approximately 400 presidents of colleges of education, deans of colleges and schools of education and universities, and other executives of teachers' colleges will participate in the conference. The purpose of the meeting is the consideration of current problems of teacher education. The school is divided into groups for discussion of the different problems. Dr. Haggard will participate in "Curriculum and Related Problems." The school is held every 'two years. The first was held in 1942 at Clear-lake, Michigan; the second in 1944 at Clarksburg, West Virginia; and the third at Chautauqua, New York, in 1946. Trustees Appointed Two new members were appointed to the Board of Overseers of Whitman college Tuesday, June 29, by President Winslow S. Anderson. The new members are Henry J. Copeland, veteran senator from Walla Walla county, and Omar C. Spencer, Portland attorney. VOL.

Reservations should be made early for both trips, since a limited number can be accommodated. The bus for Vancouver will leave at 8 a. m. from High street in front of Edens hall. It is planned to stay for "Girl Crazy," which will be showing at the "Theatre Under the Stars," if enough so desire. Otherwise the bus will return in the late afternoon.

Those going on the overnight outing to Heather Meadows will have opportunity to climb Table mountain, Austin Pass and to see Chain lakes. This trip will be through country described as a photographer's paradise. 50th Anniversary To be Celebrated Next 3 Quarters Western Washington College of Education will be the scene, during the next three quarters, of many celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the school. Most of these festivities will take place in the spring quarter and will be climaxed on May 20 and 21, 1949. A movie of school lire is being made for the anniversary and will be shown several times during the year. Homecoming will also be the time of many added attractions celebrating the 50 year mark. Miss Nora Cummins is general chairman for the activities and she will be assisted by the following faculty chairmen: Dr. Arthur Hicks, history of the school; Charles M. Rice, movie; Victor Hoppe, pageant; Dean Lorraine Powers, social; Miss Hazel Plympton, exhibit; and Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publicity. These committees will be assisted by student groups and alumni. Groups Make Soil Survey —Photos by Bernie Lepeska. Pictured above are two graphic examples of the state of affairs as they exist at Lakewood, the college property on Lake Whatcom. For the complete story of the conditions and the action to be taken by the Board of Control, see this issue. Top: The rotting wharf and the boat-house; below: The somewhat dilipidated condition of the bathhouse porch. Speeders on High Street Warned by Traffic Squad By JOHN SIGURDSON Asserting that any driver exceeding a 25 mile per hour speed limit on High Street would be tagged by his officers, Lieutenant Morse, head of the police traffic squad, last week responded to complaints filed against the excess speeding along the narrow street leading to the college. The complaints were filed by irate citizens who reside along High Street, and by the parents of Campua school children. Shortly before last quarter ended, a Campus school boy was struck by a speeding motorist as he stepped from between two parked cars in front of the Highland creamery Further down, on the corner of Ivy and High streets, a dog was recently killed, by another speedster. Realizing the danger that such conditions inflict upon everyone, the angry citizens stormed the city hall demanding action. As a result, the police department stated that as much attention as is possible will be devoted to combating this danger. WWC Students Warned The students of WWC are' urged to pay strict accord to all traffic regulations by "Dr. Haggard, who stresses, in particular, the importance of complying with those regulations governing driving- on the campus. The speed limit for all (Continued on Page Four) Schneider, Jacobson To Appear in Violin-Piano Concert Alexander Schneider, violinist, and Madame Bertha Poncy Jacobson, pianist, will present a violin-piano sonata concert July 6 at 8 p. m., in the college auditorium. Schneider is a world famed violinist, and a Columbia recording artist. Mme. Jacobson is a member of the faculty at the University of Washington -school of music. By MONTY JONES Members of three study groups at Westetrn Washington college left the campus Wednesday, 8:15 a. m. to make a general survey of soil conservation in Skagit county! The students were from three separate post-graduate classes: School administration, Visual Aids, and Community Resources. The group was accompanied by Dr. Irwin A. Hammer, Dr. Alan Ross, and Dave Rushong, WWC faculty members. The caravan of ten automobiles was met near Blanchard on t he Chuckanut highway by two work unit representatives of the United States Conservation service, A. F. Harms and C. F. Stubble. The morning was spent in observing methods used in soil drainage, fertilization, irrigation, selection of crops. The group visited the Pier-son grass dehydrating plant at Allen and the Kenneth Kaaland farm near Sedro-Woolley. They then traveled to a bend in the Skagit river where they observed the effects of the high water since last December which wore the banks away as far back as fifty feet. Lunch was eaten in the dining room of the Gateway hotel in Sedro- Woolley. Harms then showed slides revealing the great need for soil conservation in Washington state and some of what they had already done in the way of fertilization, flood control, selective logging, and erosion control. Harms then introduced Paul Dickey, the northwest director of the United States Soil Conservation srevice. (Continued on Page 4) Collegiates to Hear Varied Programs For the purpose of providing additional cultural enjoyment for the students of the college there is presented each quarter an Artist and Lecture Series which i s held in the college auditorium. For the summer quarter the programs will be held in the auditorium at 8 p. m. The artists and lecturers are chosen by a student-faculty committee. Making up the committee are faculty members, Miss Ethel Church, Victor Hoppe, Frank D'Andrea, and Bernard Regier; students, Halldor Karason, Bill Hunt, Margery Traul-sen, and Gus Pagels. Lakewood In Need Of Repairs Former students may h a ve fond memories of Lakewood which was then called "Normal-stad" but they would be in for , a shock if they were to see it now. Members of the Properties committee and the Board-of Control made a survey of the college property on Lakg_Whatc.om last .Thursday, June 24, and found the property in a run-down condition. The boathouse which houses the student-body's three boats, the Viqueen, the Viking, and the Sehome, is awash and water sloshes over the floor on the inside of the building. The wary person who would take a boat ride must first figure out how to get out to the boathouse without falling in the water. FLOAT ROTTING AWAY The float, which once was a magnificent dock, is now in a rotted condition and here again, the lake is slowly claiming it. The weeds and over-growth have spread over the grounds. The bathhouses are in need of repair, their doors having been forced open. The porch of the bath-h6use has rotted away entirely. A jungle of weeds makes it practically impossible to reach the far entrance.. of. the. bathhouse. — The cabin is. in need of two window panes which were not fortunate enough to survive the winter. New steps should be built to replace the rotted ones that how stand on the property. Warren Tiffany, chairman of the Properties committee, declared that something would be done. (Continued on Page Four) Faculty Completes Two Years Support Of French Orphan Faculty members have completed support of Jacques Boudeville, a French war orphan, for two years and have voted to accept again the responsibility for another year. Jacques has written several letters to Miss Evelyn. Odom, chairman, thanking her for the many packages he has received. Jacques states, that he is being "spoiled" by his foster parents, as is his brother who also has foster parents in the United States. His packages contain practical articles such as clothing, as well as gifts primarily for his enjoyment such as candy and games. He has also received money, 805 francs, or about $150. The faculty collects $180 a year toward his support. Registrar Ferris States Enrollment This summer's registration has increased, over last year's total of 845, to 917, and is expected to reach the 1,000 mark during the second term of the quarter, according to Registrar Donald Ferris. The present enrollment is made up -of about one-third regular students, but the great majority are teachers taking refresher courses. Special students, who are taking not more than six hours, and new students, are in the minority. ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 July 2 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash. Friday, July 2, 1948 Peace in Our Time Must be Our Goal "While the war clouds gather, far across the sea, let us swear allegiance to a land that's free . . . " Yes, God bless America and give her the strength to fight for peace in these uncertain times. In 1945 the war ended and the peoples of the earth rejoiced at the blessings of peace. Now, just three years later, the dread sound of marching armies again reaches our ears and our people hear it and pray that it cannot be, so. Yes, all of the world's people hear the marching clamor of an approaching war and they dread it. What type of man is it that loves the sound of the armies tread? Who is it that plunges the world into ghastly struggles that rock the very foundations of civilization? What is this lust for power and greed that creates diabolical ambition in men such as Hitler and Mussolini? What is it that causes war? Probably if one could answer those questions, the problem could be solved. The average citizen certainly isn't in possession of the lust for war, but, he is the owner of a powerful force which aids the planning of those who prepare for war. Misunderstanding and thinking by emotion rather than logic are two factors that must be eliminated before the world can free itself of the ravages of war. As long as people are more willing to pick up a gun than try to understand their neighbors' problems and his side of a question, there will be war. Peace will persist only where peoples live side by side, willing to understand each other's problems and to help each other in finding a solution. There are leaders m the world who, apparently by use of their peoples' misunderstanding, are preparing for war. It is therefore up to the rest of the world to renew its efforts in making them see the necessity for peace. Peace is not a thing that just "hangs around." It must be fought for just as war is fought for. Peace is a "give and take" proposition, we must not forget, and let us not do that which we criticize others for. j L Peace does not mean appeasement. Chamberlain tried that and he only succeeded in whetting the dictators' appetites. Those who oppose our way of life must make compromises just as we must make compromises. Now is the time for Americans to consider whether they have been fighting for^peace. President Truman sums it up this way: "OUR GOAL MUST BE—NOT PEACE IN OUR TIME—BUT PEACE FOR ALL TIME." A Notice for Heels " PLEASE!" Perhaps you've noticed those little signs sitting on the lawn about the campus with this word inscribed upon it. There are evidently many people who do not know what it refers to, judging from their actions. The incoming freshmen are carefully indoctrinated in the fall with the proud traditions of a beautiful lawn. During the heavy overcasts of winter quarter, the lawn is forgotten but when spring and summer come, the lawn is very much appreciated. That sign applies both to faculty members and students. A faculty member's shoes kill just as much grass as a student's unless it's a girl's tiny size five. The groundsmen are having enough trouble trying to keep the campus green without having students adding to their grief. " KEEP OFF OUR GRASS! The World Today . . . by dowd WASHINGTON, D. C • . . President Truman made surprising news this week by declaring that Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt would make an acceptable running mate if she could capture the vice-presidential spot on the Democratic ticket. BELGRADE . . . Perhaps the biggest news story of the year broke when t h e Comminter rt'black-listed" Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia as being a collaborator with the western imperialists. The Yugoslav dictator immediately rallied the country about him and hurled counter charges. He went further—he suggested a Balkan bloc of Albania, Hungary, and Yugoslavia. Albania rejects the plan. BERLIN . . . Four-power government of Berlin ended with the Russians withdrawing from.the committee. The western powers are determined to remain in Berlin and it seems the Russians are determined to. keep them put. CAIRO . . . An Arab League official has been quoted as having said that the League had decided to reject United Nations proposals for a solution of the Palestine question.' MAYLAYA . . . The British government has ordered martial law imposed over the country as fierce riots sweep through the cities. The death total mounts daily. WWCOLLEGIAN Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I was extremely perturbed after reading the letter, sent in by a student that is obviously new to WWC, in which it was stated that "when you step into the main building it is like stepping into a forgotten era —50 years ago." Perhaps it is a mistaken assumption that when you attend a college you do so in order to learn, not to be carried away by the relative merits or demerits of its construction. If that student would spend more time pursuing the basis of college life (learning) I feel certain that she would not be so obvious of what, to her way or thinking, Is the "antiquated appearance of the school." An Irate Reader. Tryout Players Present Play Melodrama deluxe was the keynote of "Cup of Fury," presented last week, June 24, by the Tryout Theater Players, of the University of Washington. The play was built around the strange hold which Aunt Cecily Winter had on each member of her family, either through fear, charity or a sense of duty from the family. The old aunt, the main character in the play, by her own acts, loses, one by one, the affections and finally the members of the family, who leave her to her own evil reflections. The play comes to a dramatic close in the death of the aunt as a proper retribution for her attempted torture of one relative and attempted murder of her companion.

First Nat'l Bank Member of Visiting Faculty State Opinions of WWC Stress Outings, Friendliness By AL MAGNUSON Just what are the reactions of the visiting faculty to a query regarding their first impressions of WWC? A friendly chat will convince you of the fact that instructors are often interesting. What are the things that they mention most frequently in regard to our institution of higher learning? First let's pay a visit to Miss Elsie Grime of the education department of Whittier College. After our errand is explained, she responds, "Well now, let me think." But since she structors and students alike, and further that the recreation program was tops for the places where she has been. Take note, students that are in the classes of Miss Ethel Kawin, the director of guidance at the Glencoe Schools in Illinois and an instructor at the University of Chicago. She states that she is "impressed by the nice group of students who are eager to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge." . . . Remember and weep, when you get those D's and F's. Miss Hilda Schwehn of the physical education department at Purdue University, greets us with, "I'm real pleased to be here." .And then goes on to state that while she had heard much of the gorgeousness of the northwest, it far surpasses anything she had expected. Miss Mary Boppell of the Home Worth college commented on the beautiful green campus, then added, "but I suppose everyone says that." Quick, Dr. Haggard! Put that in the catalogue. One would think the psychologist would have many words of wisdom to impart, but' Miss Virginia Voeks, of the Psychology department of the University of Washington was found to be almost as human as the rest of us. 'kiss Voeks said, "Oh, heavens! You may quote me* as saying, 'Delightful, charming and so on'." Incidentally she was referring to the school, and not to the reporter. David J. Burrell, the curriculum consultant for industrial arts in the Seattle schools has been on both the giving and receiving end here at WWC. About twenty years ago he attended one of the summer sessions, and now has returned for another summer, this time as an instructor. He was impressed with the new buildings. His was a fitting conclusion for this article, "I guess that's about it." spent last summer here, thus being an old timer, it doesn't take long for her to collect her thoughts. She states that she is impressed by the lush greeness of the area and is further fascinated by the boats coming in and out. She also noted how practical the campus school building is. Instructors have temptations too: Miss Mabel L. Everett of the Shaker Heights School in Cleveland, Ohio, is a potential thief. She stated that after buying holly back east at fabulous prices she wanted to go out and snip some for her room even at this time of the year. Do you have holly growing in your yard? Then perk up your ears to this suggestion. Why not bring her some? Her office is in room 130. "I'd like it for the foliage even if it doesn't have berries on it," she said. And, just think! You may save the poor lady a trip to the jail for petit larceny. How do instructors react to being interviewed? Well, Miss Gertrude Ramage, of the Linnton school in Portland, expressed what many seemed to have in the back of their minds when she stated, "I'm going to be quoted now so I have to be careful what I say, don't I?" She was one of the visiting faculty members that mentioned both of the two things that seemed to be uppermost in the minds of these 'foreigners,' namely the friendliness of the in- Poetry Corner JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST At College— June, July and August, Ah, what months are these; Bringing work and tests To College busy-bees.

Visitor from France Here for Quarter Do you want to learn to speak French the easy way? One sure method would be to meet Miss Denice Bancalari, a genuine home-grown French girl who speaks the real thing. Denice has been in this country just nine months; she arrived in October, with a degree from a university, and after a quarter at Cheney has come to spend the summer at WWC. She has done some tutoring in French and would be very willing to do some more as she remarked: "I specialized in English, or majored in it, as you would say, in the University of Aix-Marseilles, in Nice." As well as speaking English fluently, she took about three courses in Russian, but as she put it, "gave it up fast." Denice is a dark-haired young lady with a pair of eyes nearly as dark as her hair. They twinkled when she responded to the question, "How old are you" with the repartee. "I am not yet eighty." After a moment's hesitation she disclosed the fact that she was 21. When questioned as to her athletic abilities, Denice proved herself one of the "rugged type." "I am a broad jump champion, and I do very well at all kinds of Summer Trips Shown in Slides Colored slides and martial music, presented in the assembly Thursday, June 24, stirred up.the summer recreation program. Shown by Miss Ruth Weythman, chairman of the recreation committee, the slides included (in glorious technicolor) pictures taken on trips in summers passed. Many among the audience recognized their pictured selves on the climb up Chuckanut Mountain, the picnic at the Rocks and the strenuous trek to Baker's summit. To new students, the assembly presented a new and promising aspect of summer school li* . The succulent jumps, and other track games, such j s ^ o n dished up at the Lakewood as rope climbing. It is a pity I was not a boy." In answer to a question on baseball, Denice has this to say for the great American sport. "I played it twice. I never understood where or when I ran, but I ran." She went on to say, in her pleasant, manner, "The French universities don't have as many students, and they have no campus. No one lives on the campus. We have no special activities like you do here, so that is why I am never home nights studying. "I like our school system better because it covers the curriculum more broadly. When you get out of high school there, you are prepared to specialize in one subject in the universities." Bellingham, being on the Puget Sound, favorably reminds Denice of her home town, Nice, which is located on the Mediterranean sea, with the Alps in the background She was a if she had grown her webbed feet yet, but when the parody on the climate was straightened out, she intimated she preferred sunshine. This summer she is living at Har-borview hall, but fall quarter will see Denice enrolled at the University of Washington. barbecue and the beautiful, rugged scenery of the San Juans literally leaped from the screen to entice them from their books. The college's summer recreation program, one of the finest in the country, is well planned to suit the interests of all persons from the mountaineer to the cnalr tourist. With twenty-one trips and picnics scheduled, every student will have an opportunity to see as much as possible of the unusually lovely scenic surroundings. Deadline dates for ticket sales and information regarding all trips will be posted on the Official Bulletin and on the Recreation Bulletin Board. CCF Makes Plans For July Outing; Committees Named Everyone is invited to go on the CCF outing to be held on Friday afternoon, July 9. The group will leave from in front of the P.

"Sounds mighty good," you say. Well then, get your reservations in at once for the all-school salmon bake to be held the afternoon of Monday, July 12, a t Larrabee State park. Dinner will be served at 6 o'clock with busses and cars leaving at different times throughout the afternoon. With watermelon and baked ham in the hold, the lucky seventy who signed dp AHEAD of time will be off tomorrow morning for the three day cruise through the San Juan islands. The cruisers will leave on the Xenial and the Seahawk. Head skipper for the affair will be Jack Crowler who knows the islands and the island lore. Don't get left out again! Make your reservations early for all of the trips. Many who have come after the deadline for several of the activities have had to be turned away. Remember, there is no such thing as a privileged character in regard to making reservations. * * * Those people who take pictures of the various trips are asked to bring a copy and the negative to the recreation office so that others can^have copies printed. # * * The Osage trip last Saturday was described as very successful by all who went.

Hospice edged out Normal Drive in the ninth by the score of 2-1. Each team made two errors and each pitcher gave up only two hits . . . And speaking of pitchers' battles—the Bells' game'with the Trotters turned out to be just that last Monday night—only about forty hits allowed in the entire game. That's only with the Trotters, of course. . . . Now that Louis has stated that he would retire, there are some followers of the ring who would call him a "has-been" and a bum . . . Well, it took him longer to be one titan any other great fighter . . . With all sorts of honors and awards; bestowed upon him, we hope that Lee Angel I, our county golf king, won't lose sight of the fact that the "college-on-the-hill" is proud of him, too, and expects him back next spring . . . "for the next couple of weeks the Seattle Rainiers can expect to have it easy—but it sometimes turns out that the "otherwise" happens. And when the Jo-Jos were one game away from first place, wasn't San Diego supposed to have been a "soft touch"? . . . The two major leagues don't seem to be getting anywhere— here it is almost the halfway mark of the baseball season and they're just about back to where they started. (The first division in each league—that is!) . . . "One more river to row" and then we hope to see the U. of W. Huskies entered in the Olympics. A first at London and the broom they will have used for this crew season should be sent—well, don't you think the national capital would be a good place? The "two-for-one bird story*" you know . . . Violin-Piano Duo Coming to WWCE Alexander Schneider, violinist, and Madame Bertha Poncy Jacobson, pianist, will present violin-piano sonata concert in the college auditorium on the evening of July 6, at 8:00 p. m. Their program will be a repeat of one they will give in Seattle's Meany hall earlier in the week. On the program here will be: G Major Sonata by Brahms, Sonata in A Minor by Beethoven and Sonata in E Flat Minor by Mozart. Schneider is a world famed concert violinist and is also a Columbia record artist. Mme. Jacobson is a distinguished member of the faculty of the University of Washington School of Music. more traffic story (Continued from Page One) traffic on the campus is 10 miles per hour, and in order to insure the safety of all students it is necessary to inforce this limit rigidly. As was expressed by Dr. Haggard, "I urge strict adherence to traffic regulations by all." As an important step in controlling the speeding along High street, a red blinker light has been installed in front of Edens hall. The fine for speeding is very stiff, but there is more to it than that. No person would intentionally endanger the lives of other people, and perhaps many of the speeding drivers actually fail to realize the dangers which can result from such actions. Every driver, however, should realize his responsibility, and cooperate in the campaign to eliminate the threat of speeding, not only from High street, but from all of Bellingham's streets.

Assurance was given that the 300 odd pounds collected in a "Clothing for Europe" drive, would be distributed to the most needy through personal representatives of the WRC in Europe. The letter further stressed the desperate need of all kinds of clothing. Champion Joe Louis Retires With Record Successfully defending his heavyweight championship crown for t he twenty-fifth time and for the tenth time against a return contender (for eleven years plus—the longest boxing record in ring history), Champion Joe Louis can well be classed as one of the greatest fighters in ring history. Louis proved to the boxing world that he still had that dynamite right that brought him the crown. Intramural Sports Begins With 2-1 Victory by Hospice The men's intramural softball league began action last Monday evening at the College athletic field. Four teams have entered the first, round of play, which will finish July 15. All games are scheduled for 6:15 p. m. Any game may be played at 4:30 p. m. if both teams agree.

Hospice, with "Dixie" Dahl, slow-ball artist, on the mound and Doyle behind the plate, defeated Normal Drive, with Rolland pitching and J. Russel catching, in a low scoring game 2 to 1. The complete schedule: June 28—Normal Drive vs. Hospice. July 1—Huntoon vs. Mathes. July 6—Normal Drive vs. Huntoon. July 8—Hospice vs. Mathes. July 12—Normal Drive vs. Mathes.

His statements were blunt and full of concern about the lack of attention paid to something as vital as the production of food. The figures given below were produced by Mr. Dickey as evidence that the farm situation is serious. Since 1888 • PACIFIC STEAM LAUNDRY 1728 Ellis St. Phone 126 I n both fights Walcott chose to attempt to win the championship on points. He might easily have done so in the last fight had he not started to mix it with Louis in the fatal eleventh. But the same happened to Walcott as to all others who challenged Louis for the second time—Louis calmly and unsmilingly chopped him down and undisputably retained his crown. As in horse-racing when a champion becomes too old and has given so much to the game, he is retired— shouldn't Champion Joe Louis be entitled to the same privilege? more lake wood (Continued from Page One) The committee has approximately $700 with which to repair the three college properties, Lakewood, Kul-shan cabin, and Sinclair island.

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 inÂ£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 courseâ€”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 â€”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 Collegianâ€”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.

JUNIOR PROM "Flambeau" Gay, Exotic Soft music, flowers, royalty, dancers whirling against afiery Parisienne backgroundâ€”it's gayâ€”it's exoticâ€”it's "Flambeau"! A Parisienne sidewalk cafe motif,enhanced by blossoming trees and a fiery red color scheme will be the scene of the second formaldance of the year, the Junior Prom. The secret is outâ€”but the occasion is yet to come. Yes, the exoticatmosphere of springtime in Paris will be here in the WWC Gym from 9-1 on Saturday, March 5. Oneof the five queen candidates will reign over the occasion. The elite five, Brenda Lindsley, Janice Pilik,Marlene Wilton, Sally Fugitt and Sharon Stewart were selected by popular vote last Tuesday at ajunior class meeting. Any one of them would make an exquisite queen, but only one will be chosen by a special ballot to be crowned as queen by junior class president Dick Canfield. 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 studentsâ€”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 â€” "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 wallâ€”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, tooâ€”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.

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, â€¢ 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 Collegianâ€”in past yearsâ€”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 BARNHARTâ€”one of the more effective members;idealistic; hard working; dedicated. BOB BROWNâ€”nice guy; weak, ineffective Legislator; prestigeconscious. BOB BURGOYNEâ€”inexperienced; indifferent; lack of real interest. LEWCURRANâ€”willing to work; adequate knowledge of student government; personality conscious.LARRY ERNSTâ€”intelligent although COLLEGIAN WRITER Inane and predigesled? Page 7 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 8 ---------- inexperienced; doesn't work up to capacity. GARY GERHARD â€” opinionated although easilyinfluenced; good possibilities although inexperienced. GORDON MILLS â€” indifferent attitude;sarcastic; has ability but does not use it. JUDY RUNNELSâ€”biased; can be influenced; talks a lot but says nothing; tries hard. RON SALTISâ€”completely indifferent; misses meetings; friendly attitude.DOUG SIMPSONâ€”conscientious Legislator; lacks experience but works hard. LEO DODDâ€”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 motivationâ€”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.

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.

SaysMore Essential to Varsity Sports By WAYNE EHLERS IT'S TIME TO MAKE A DECISION. Thisschool must provide more athletic scholarships or it faces the prospect of falling still farther behind theother schools in the Evergreen Conference in procurement of good athletes. Varsity baseball andbasketball Coach Jack Hubbard pointed out, "If we are expected to compete with other schools wemust get the material." Hubbard added, "We must make up our minds now either to go after athleteswith a good recruiting program, backed up by scholarships, or quit varsity sports and offer onlyintramural" It has been almost one year since the Board of Control appropriated money for Western'sfirst athletic scholarships; At that time there were many persons supporting such a program and anopposing group. Luckily for Western the students voted in favor of athletics in a special election (orrather two elections). Improvement in the caliber of college sports at this school will take time. RayCiszek, track coach, agrees, "They have been helpful but it takes time to build up a sport. I hope to seemore of these awards for next year." There is general agreement between Coaches Lappenbusch (alsoathletic director), Hub-; bard, Kulbitski and Ciszek that scholarships are a step in the right direction â€”however only a small step. Lappenbusch said he thought that if the students want better athletics heshould be appropriated enough money for his budget first. "It's a matter now of getting more money orpossibly cutting some minor sports." He commented, "I don't like" the idea of cutting the budget withoutcutting the expenditures, because a state institution can't go in the hole." As far back as Lappy canremember, Western has been trying to get a "big man" for basketball to offset the opposition's heightadvantage. The BOC allotted four basketball scholarships last year. One went to 7'2" Gary Nelson but he will need help from . some tall team-matesâ€”team-mates that can only be obtained by scholarships. Hubbard pointed out that last year he had lined up four good prospects and three of them changed theirminds before school started. The reason (?) â€”better offers from other Ever- \ green schools! Kulbitskihad six small grants. One or two mistakes in judging a boy's ability to transfer high school gridirontalents to the college level successfully would " be disastrous. One coach observed that playing -theseother schools was like "standing up against loaded guns with no protection." Nothing could be closerto the truth. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY it seems to put Western on a par with the other schools of theConference â€”appropriate more money. It's either that, or as Hubbard said, quit varsity sports andemphasize ' only the intramural program. No one interested in sports wants to see that happen,especially a sportswriter. WORRIED: Athletic Director Charles Lappenbusch and Ray Ciszek wonderwhat will happen to varsity sports at Western without more athletic scholarships.

Spring and student elections came to the Central Washington campus this year with suchforce that they almost shook the grass roots. Developments began two weeks ago with the hanging ofCollege President in effigy. A statement to the Associated Press, which carried the story of the effigy-hanging throughout the state, contained a statement by administration sources that the effigy-hangingwas by "a minority group of students" who were displeased with student body elections at the college. Last week the Central newspaper, the Crier, published rules of a new student body election which hadbeen re-scheduled by the Student- Faculty Planning and Coordinating Board and the StudentGovernment Association Council. The Student Government announced in a special meeting that "it be made known that in our official meetings and in performance of our duties as student governmentofficers we WERE NOT influenced or interfered with by the College President or Administration." THESTUDENT GOVERNMENT ALSO DIRECTED THE EDITOR of Central Crier to publicly apologize to allcandidates and the student body for a special extra he had printed and in which he admitted "a straightnews story turned into an editorially slanted story." The student government then stated that "since hisintentions appear to have been innocent of collusion that he be allowed a chance to complete his term of office under the guidance of the Council, the Board of Publications, and the Director of Publications." The secretary of the student body reported that "this was the largest attended SGA meeting of theyear." 'Rustic' Revisions Lakewood Plans Move Ahead FLOWERS Ph. 4999 for every occasion Bay Champion PLANS FOR REVAMPING LAKEWOOD, the College property on Lake Whatcom willdefinitely be out of the planning stage this quarter, according to Bill Siebler, member of the StudentFacilities Committee. At the last Inter-Club Council meeting, organization representatives were urged to let their groups plan a project for improvement of the lake property. Two groups are ready to go aheadwith the renovations. "W" Club is going to put tanks under the float. A springboard will be installed. Thenewly-formed Radio Club will install electricity. While the work is furnished by club members'elbowgrease, money will be provided by the Student Facilities Committee. The Facilities group, underthe chairmanship of Joel Carlson, ASB vice-president, has adopted a 20-year improvement plan forLakewood. By 1977, among other things, there will be a new lodge, tennis courts, and extended with abulkhead, a diving tower, and more picnic facilities. More parking space will be available. Siebler saysthat the group really wants to get to work on the new lodge. He mentioned the possibility of a Norwegianski-lodge type building which is designed somewhat like a' pup tent, with the roof forming two sides ofthe building. Siebler feels that this would save on material. "You don't use the upper parts of the wall inoblong buildings for anything," he stated. "It's just waste space." He added that the lower parts of theroof-walls would be a handy space for storage. Students interested in helping out in a project shouldcontact Carlson or one of the Facilities Committee members.

I Many peopletoday will laugh at these cases |f censorship, but in their day they were no mghing matter. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢Censorship, in fact, has always been a serious Vatter.And in his book THE CENSORSHIP OF OOKS,Walter M. Daniels touches on the Bell- \igham scene when he says that inevitably "Some ersons wouldkeep lurid publications and sen-tional comics off the newsstands and out of he hands of the young." Inthis same book Goodwin B. Watson, pro-ssor of education, Teachers College, Columbia niversity,answers that "the case of censorship shelter children and youth . . . rests upon ychological fallacies." He contends that the aracter and tastes of youth are better formed guidance than protection. "Whatinnocent n'ldren most need is not a sterile environment om which all evidence of birth, lust, violence,isease, prejudice, crime, and death has been |:moved, but help in interpreting the evil which aninescapable part of life." This should come om home, school and churchâ€”not from censor ards, heseems to say. Daniels, in his book, maintains that few ople go so far as to suggest prohibition ofblication of anything; they just want to con-ol its distribution. "Among the advocates of ntrols' of one sortor another, however, it is table that none recognize the need for any striction on their own reading. Allpresent emselves as the protectors of more susceptible id less discerning minds/1 I etter Watch ThatDotted Line' All censorship is based on the First Amendment to the Constitution which states thatCongress ". . . shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech or of the press . . ." This doesnot, however, include the right of publishing obscene material according to modern constitutionalinterpretation. Congressmen continually present bills to control "offensive matter." But the Washington POST has asked: "Who can say what constitutes 'offensive matter' or precisely what degree ofemphasis on crime, violence, and corruption is 'improper'?" â€¢ * * ANOTHER SHOT IN THE ARM FORTHE CENSORSHIP mania in America came when anti-Communism prompted book-burning leagues tocrop up all over. President Eisenhower tried to quell trus when he declared "Don't join the book burners.Don't think you are going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed." -. John StuartMill, English philosopher and economist of the 19th century stated tnat ". . . The peculiar evil of silencingthe expression of opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the presentgeneration; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right,they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost asgreat a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error .. ." But W. D. Patterson, associate publisher of the SATURDAY REVIEW probably best summed up the whole argument against censorship, when he wrote: "To trust the judgment of the people-in cultural as in political matters-in a time of stress and suspicion is the real test of a democracy." Of interest to many readers will be the fact that several weeks ago the Bellingham City Council passed an ordinance setting up a Censor Board. Before that time no one knew when, how or why a Censor Board had beenestablished in Bellingham. City hall could not even account for it; it was simply tradtional for a mayor toappoint members to a Censor Board. This is the way it continued until the incident when the Boardtried" to have certain magazines removed from stands; and then criticized the press for 'publicizing'its actions.

"' Dell Abelein Athletics - Should it Get the lion's Share?' "THE TIME HAS COME," THE WALRUS SAID Fifteenpeople gathered around an oak table next week will decide how $80,600 is going to be distributed amongat least ten student-supported programs. One of the highlights of the meeting is certain to be the athleticbudget. "TO TALKOFMAJm^THINGS" There have been many things said about the athletic budget. Thisis the budget of a department that has, during the past few years, demanded more and more money as a necessity to carry out even a moderate program. And the athletic director maintains that if that programis to keep from declining, even more money is going to be needed. It boils down to the fact that a goodathletic program is going to cost a good many dollars. The question then is: DO Western students wanta good program at a higher cost? "OF SHOESâ€”AND SHIPSâ€”AND SEALING WAXâ€”" But there are a few other questions, too. Boards have a tendency to cut athletic budgets in huge chunks, asking fewspecific questions. However, last year's athletic budget audit -t prompts a few specific questions. Is itnecessary to pay ath-, lt;* . letes for small jobs when this money comes from other stumo dents? Are all awards, trips and transportation costs necessary? Is it right to give scholarships to students who dropout of school before they even take part in games? 'Z"dli CABBAGES AND KINGSâ€”" Does it really doany good to cut the athletic budget in the first place? Items in the budget that have been cut the yearbefore inevitably crop up as new requests the next year and they are inevitably granted. Last year's Boardcut athletics several thousand dollars; this year's Board restored it and more. Does the Board have achoice of yes or no? Or does it merely postpone its yes? Someday ifs going to have to be establishedwho's in the driver's seat. If the Board decides yes, all right. But if it decides no, it should mean it. "ANDWHY THE SEA IS BOILING HOTâ€”" In this issue of the Collegian you will read a story in which it isstated that if more scholarships are not given we may as well quit varsity sports and maintain onlyintramurals. This is a far cry from the humble pleas under which scholarships were instituted. Butmaybe dropping varsity athletics would solve the whole problem. At any rate, if varsity sports' life reallyhinges on scholarships, do they necessarily all have to come from student money? Maybe a little varietyin source, would be refreshing. "AND WHETHER PIGS HAVE WINGS." ' A big choice is going to haveto be made next week. Maybe the athletic proponents are right. Maybe we have been flying too high.Trying to give all departments equal monetary consideration seems to result only in equally mediocreresults. And since there is only so much money, maybe some departments ARE more worth development than others, and should receive the lion's share of the budget. If so the Board is going to have to answera big question: Is athletics that department? And do students want a better athletic program at a higherprice to the detriment of other departments? These are the questions the Board must answer.

The baseballcoaches also voted to withdraw locker-door and practice-field courtesies from professional scouts anddiscourage their players from talking to pro representatives. The majors had adopted a college playerrule in 1954 barring pro signing of players after the start of their sophomore year or until they reached 21years old. However, the minor leagues did not accept it. This rule then was considered useless avideliminated by .the majors. The Association announced that it was against the practice of "payinggratuities, bonuses or salaries to college baseball coaches and others in an effort to win their favor andassistance in obtaining outstanding prospective baseball per- Conference Intramural Program to beDrafted The sports end of the conference at Western Washington College this week will be concernedwith drafting an Evergreen Conference-wide intramural program-.

ONE COACH HAS GONE SO FAR AS TO SAY that he'll drop from his squad any player who even talks to a scout without first consulting him. In support ofthe majors, many believe that the colleges have a lot of house cleaning to do. They claim that collegessanction tuition fees for football players and bar the same thing for baseball players. This, they claim,is a very confusing situation. Some say that it should make no difference if a baseball team pays a boy's way through college so long as he does not play professionally until he has graduated. Plans are in the making for a more workable rule that would be acceptable to the Association and to the majors. This,however, may take a long time. MEANWHILE, THE BONUS SIGNING of the college athletes continues, $30,000, $70,000, $100,000! One begins to wonder if he should not raise his son to be a big leagueballplayer. Since the post-war period a pro scout will beat a path to a sub-big-league youngster for hissignatureâ€”not because they want him, but so that their rivals wouldn't get him. MORSE HARDWARECO.

HoUy fowling Up Scon s 3/ ?. ,1 * Hetrozotf By JOHN BETROZOFF THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO PLUG OUR ATHLETI BUDGET a little,since next Wednesday the entire budget w be drawn up and cuts made. It is no secret that the PE progra is one of the most important on campusâ€”indirectly benefiting everyone and directly benefiting 75per cent of the student or better. Our PE program is grozving very rapidly. Right now the athletic dollarsare being stretched pretty tight. There is by no means any surplus anywhere. Next year can only meanmore students in school causing an expansion of the athletic program (guess what else mustexpand then). According to Lappenbusch, the student finance committee recommended a five per cent increase for his athletic budget which he followed in drawing up 1 budget. This seems to be a fairly low increase compared to sor other departments. Therefore, there is definitely no extravagan connected inrequests for next year. This should indicate that cut will be made in the athletic budget (by all means putsoi more in). We are on our way up in athletics. To continue goi up, athletics needs the backing. Wehope athletics gets th backing. ALONG WITH THE BUDGET QUESTION comes the athie field proposal. I don't think I have to say which side of the fer I'm on. The actual work may be far off right now, but this is) very good place to start. The Athletic Committee has been lookif this over for quite some time and things look pretty positn Now the committee wants to explore it even further as a projJ to better the college.However, it is a big issue and will ne) the support of the entire student body. WE PROBABLY HAVE THE BEST SOFTBALL PR\ GRAM IN THE EVERGREEN CONFERENCE. The inter! has been big and thecaliber of softball has been good. Lately hitting has been on top of the pitching a little more than normjbut this has made the games even better. For a spectator, softf is probably more interesting to watch than baseball. The gaJ is faster and usually there are more hits (and errors). Thi seems to be action all thetime. The players take a real interj in the league also. Usually a league has to struggle to play gamesbecause players never show for games. Well, the w| interest (which caused a couple of teams to be leftout) in sc ball isn't falling off.

THEBATMAN STRUCK AT THE BALL. The pitch was a fastball sinker. The ball carommed off the bat and hit home plate, bounding high in the air. At this stage the umpire called "foul ball." When he did so, thebatter who started for first stopped and retraced his steps to the plate to bat again. Hearing the call of"foul ball," the catcher made no play on it. The ball eng-lished off the home plate, landed about a foot infront of home plate, then rolled in the direction of the pitcher's box. It ended up in territory about ten feetin front| home plate. What about it? Try solvinj the problem before looking the answer below. (answer)The umpire was definitely error in calling this play too quicl Hitting the home plate did not maki a foulball.

By NEIL CLOUGH and DOROTHY DIOCLETIAN NOTE TO WESTERN MEN: 200 high school girls are going to be on campus today. We realize that this is the first opportunity for you guys to seesome really good-looking chicks, so don't go out of your headsâ€”just play it cool. It seems that there isso much money in student government's budget control that the student officers voted themselves over$200 to attend a so-called "conference on student government." But what is the reason for taking eveningclothes and bathing suits in such a serious atmosphere? The daily bulletin jestingly intimated that classmeetings were to be held today. If things went as usual, at least enough people showed up tonominate'themselves to the offices open. . Seattle papers reported that the President of CentralWashington College was hung in effigy by a group of unhappy students. It looks like they were justabout at the end of their rope. We've heard that the projector operator at the Saturday night movie is nottoo efficientâ€”seems he gets the reels mixed up casionally. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ A MARINE HAS BEEN LOSTAT SEA FOR DAYS IN A RUBBER LIFERAFT, when he suddenly awakes to find himself washed uponto the beach of a tropical island. He goes ashore and finds that the only living inhabitant of the island isa beautiful young girlâ€”who is a nun. What happens in a situation like this? There are a lot of possibleanswers, but a uniquely touching one is found in John Huston's recently-released movie, HEAVENKNOWS, MR. ALLISON. LI us ton employs only two actors before the cameras, and the roles played byDeborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum are handled superbly. Mitchum is probably at his best since he beganin movies. The story is. humorous and convincing; at times the cinemascope photography makes you feel that you are actually walking in the cool shadows of the sun-drenched, breeze-wafted palms. Word hasit that next year the minimum grade point average is going to be raised to a 2.0, beginning fall quarter. Ifso, this is a great step forward for Western. / / grade points actually are going up, student governmentmay no longer have any worries about appropriating money to the athletic department. /_" Someone wasseen climbing up the fire escape at Eden's Hall late Tuesday night. We wonder how long the girls kepthim. The administration would probably appreciate it if people would refrain from throwing empty"beverage" bottles in the Bird Sanctuary. We would agree zvith that one. Wouldn't want any of the littlebirdies flying around intoxicated; they might not make it back to Capistrano. I Think that I shall never see A girl refuse a meal that's free A girl whose hungry eyes aren't fixed Upon a drink that's being mixed. Agirl who won't forever wear A bunch of junk to match her hair A girl who looks at boys all day And figuresways to make them pay Girls are loved by jerks like me 'Cause who would want to kiss a tree?

Boycott, Effigy Raise Issue of Food at Edens Quality of food and service at Edens Hall cafeteria became a major campus issue this week. Effigy hanging ofthe dietitian, Miss Luva Baldwin, and a boycott of the Tuesday evening meal brought the issue into theopen. Tuesday morning college gardeners removed ah effigy of "Queen Lulu" from a tree in front of the entrance of Old Main. BOARDERS BOYCOTT Tuesday night only approximately 125 of the more than350 regular boarders ate dinner at Edens. Twenty Edens boarders met with Dean C. W. McDonald,Dean Lorraine Powers and Dr. Merle Kuder, Director of Student Personnel Services, Wednesdayevening to come to some understanding on the situation. The students represented vtRH, Edens Halland Mathes House. "We're here to listen to your complaints," Dean McDonald said. "We hope out ofthis meeting will come some specfiic complaints and specific suggestions on how we can improve this situation." RUMORS SPREAD The Dean of Men opened the meeting saying there were two falserumors circulating. He said (1) he had at no time given his approval of anything which has happenedregarding the situation. A hunger strikeâ€”not necessarily this "hunger strike"â€”he said, might be anapproach to the problem, but he emphasized that effigy hanging is "beneath the dignity of collegestudents." He referred to it as "Ku (Continued on Page 8) Ellensburg squad is supposedly the team tobe at the Evergreen Conference.

And all went to see the wondrous displays, every one into the big city. And Joseph and Mary also went up from the counlryside, into the big city, a marvel of much bright andwondrous color, leaving their three children behind. And so it was that while there the department store'saims were accomplished, and Joseph brought forth many packages costing many dollars. AndJoseph's wife brought forth their pocketbook, showing it empty. And so they stepped into their aulo toleave for home and wait for the arrival of many bills, born unto them that day. And lo, the traffic lightshowed green and ihey sped from the city, carrying joyous tidings to their home. When suddenly thereappeared to them on Highway 99, the monstrous sight of a vehicle within whose comportments there,was a man, full of the Christmas spirits. And the man turned right and Joseph turned left and the air wasturned foul, as explosion ripped forth on the highway and two tin animals met, clashing in great fury. Andthe only animal left was the jackass behind the wheel, who was with the Christmas spirits no. longer. And Mary and Joseph, innocent though they were, perished also. And unto them all three was born that daya new significance of the 20th century Christmas season, as they were wrapped in swaddling blanketsand carried ;away.

R. Effigy-Hanging, Food BoycottExpensive Means To An End In the shadow of an effigy swinging in the early morning fog, 23 people sitand discuss a problem, and positive action is taken. Beginning wilh the effigy-hanging of the collegedietitian Tuesday morning and boycott of Edens Hall cafeteria the same evening, the quality of food andservice became the cause of a meeting of 20 students and three faculty representatives Wednesdayafternoon. At the meeting, the Dean of Men promised that positive action would be* taken " i f thedemands and the' suggestions are within reason." We think the following observations are significant: 1)Positive results were obtained by rational discussion of the problem. But this discussion had to beinitiated by spectacular and sensationally pulicized demonstration. 2) These same results could andshould have come about without such demonstrations. 3) Publicity of this demonstration in local andSeattle newspapers has cost the collegeâ€”the studentsâ€”greatly in public prestige. Therefore theseresults cost us unnecessarily. Why is this necessary in a college where the ideals of democracy areprofessed i n t h e classroom and in student government?

Critchfield, who has served the pastthree years; Lenko Gazija and Dave Northrup, who terminated their one year elected positions; and BruceHannaford and Bob Teshera who served in appointed positions. These people devoted much of their timeto the betterment of student government at Western. Besides attending the week y B0C meeting, theyeach had committee work which consisted of weekly meetings and often outside investigation. TheseBoard members have cooperated in forming the foundation of effective student government for theremainder of the year. Looking over the past two years, I can personally say that this Board has beenthe most harmonious and efficient organization I have worked with. I feel with certainty that the newmembers will serve in the same proficient manner as the previous ones. The Board welcomes JamesHildebrand, Ken Moffett, Tom Rom-erdahl, Bob Dunlap and Dan White.

The selected students' names will be announced next quarter and recognized next spring.At that time they will be awarded certificates. Student Union Building Gains $7,000 in Board Allocation Seven thousand dollars was allocated from budget control to the Student Union fund by the Board ofControl at their Wednesday meeting. This amount was part of the $ 17,008.76 in budget control whichhas been accumulated over the years. The action was an outcome of the financial report presented byBob Teshera, Finance chairman. Dave Northrup, chairman of the Student Union Committee explainedthat "with the passing of this motion the money will be invested and â€ž : at half-time of the Central vs.Western basketball game Saturday night. The Board approved the appropriation. A parliamentarydefect in the Co-op dividend appropriation was brought to the Board's attention by Bruce Hannaford,chairman of the ASB Constitution Committee. The BOC proceeded to adopt the resolution passed bythe student body at the last election concerning the dividends turnover. Speaking for the Boardmembers. Roland Sayler extended his appreciation for the three year services on the BOC by Dr.Howard J. Critchfield and thanked him for his many valuable contributions to the Board. Gratitude wasalso expressed to Lenko Gazija, Bruce Hannaford, Dave Northrup, and Bob Teshera whose term'sexpired with this meeting. drawing interest." Lenko Gazija,. chairman of the special committeeconcerning the possibilities of a basketball championship intramural play-off between the WesternEvergreen Conference schools gave a report on his investigation into the matter. Discussion oftraveling expenses produced a motion that the extramural basketball program fund was not to exceed$80. Under the present program Western's champion team would play UBC and PLC would meetCPS. Winners of the two games would compete for the Western Washington crown.

It was discovered many yearsago when Miss Leona Sundquist was beginning to teach at Western. It was about midnight and MissSundquist was staying up late to clean up her laboratory and equipment. She opened one door thatentered a long narrow closet. She reached in to turn on the light. But the light chain was not long enough to be reached from the floor, so she stood on a chair. Looking about the room,, she saw much of theparaphernalia that is usually found in a biology supply room: walrus tusks, horns of deer and goats andeven a few turtle shells. Then her eyes fell on itâ€”a very decrepit skeleton. "He scared me half todeath," said Miss Sundquist. "He must have been quite a fighter in his day; he had a few ribs missing,he oTidn't have all his fingers, and a lot of teeth weren't there." By probing into the life story of thisfellow, we have uncovered some interesting history. I He was a British pirate, this battered skeleton. Itis told by a former faculty member that his remains are the result of the last hanging to be staged inWhatcom county. It seems that our bony friend was definitely a fighter. He was in a lusty brawl onenight and as a result killed a man. The prescribed punishment was dealt to him, as Actors PresentO'Neill Play; Hagen Director of Production "The Long Voyage Home," a one-act play by Eugene O'Neill,was presented to the student body this morning in the College Auditorium as a presentation in the Artistsand Lecturers Series.

Four drunken sailors were portrayed by Stan Lilian, Buzz Lawrence, Al Gunderson and HaroldSchultz. Sharon Ballagh and Anne Houlahan presented the characters of Freda and Kate. Set designerfor the one-act was Carole Duvall; Lee Porterfield took on the responsibilities of stage manager. AlGunderson, Lee Porterfield and Dave Van Bronkhorst formed the scenery crew. Costumes wereprovided under the chairmanship of Joyce Brose. John Schermerhorn and Kathy Garrett were incharge of publicity.

'" l ' Ferris stated there is a number of out-of-stajie educatiprs attending thissummer's session, including two . principals from as far off as Apple-ton, Wis. J^J English, Americanics V^e/cpmecf By CHAUNCEY GRIFFITH The summer quarter artist series wjas very successfullylaunched Tuesday night by Doris Doree, soprano of the Meteopolitan Opera association. In a beautifullyplanned program of classic, romantic a n d modern music Miss Doree displayed a voice of warmth andbeauty which was used with skill and understanding. Outstanding were her clear, accurate attacks, hercontrol of long pianissimo phrases and her sense of the dramatic content of the songs she sang. Alarge and enthusiastic audience insisted on several encores after the group of songs sung in English-.Here Miss Doree displayed excellent diction and made us realize the importance of words in thecommunication of the thought of a song. We wish that singers would make more use of the excellentrepertoire of English and American songs. Miss Doree was assisted at the piano by Wallace Marshall who gave at all times sympathetic and telling support in a program which demanded as much fromthe pjanist as the singer. Gettysburg Speech Drafts Displayed On display in the first floor hall of theadministration building are photostatic copies of the five drafts of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, whichwere presented to the college by Guy Allison, member of the class Of 1907.

Gus krbsen- ofSeattle made the flag from the design submitted by, the seniors.'The industrial Arts department builtthe stand. Parking rules have been posted on the bulletin board so that all drivers on campus may readthem. Since rules have been kept to a minimum, it is hoped that all drivers will obey them and therebylessen the parking problem for all. ROSS ELECTED PRESIDENT Dr. Alan Ross, professor ofeducation at Western Washington College, was elected June 19 to the office of president of thedepartment of administration and supervision, a division of the Washington education association. The election was held at a state conference at Paradise Inn, Mount Rainier. It was held concurrently with the seventh annual mountain conference for educators, sponsored by Mrs: Pearl. Wanamaker, statesuperintendent of instruction. The mountain conference was attended by President1 W. W. Haggard and Dr. David McDonald, of the college faculty. Budget Woes ief Of Board Meet Depleted by summerquarter leaves of absence, the Board of Control will be brought to full strength by temporaryappointments, ASB president Dick Pederson announced Wednesday afternoon. First problem facingthe complete summer board when it meets at 4:30 next Wednesday afternoon will be a reported $1,000deficit in funds of the athletic department. The board has been informed that the department does nothave sufficient funds to cover the purchase of awards for the spring sports. The members in attendanceat Wednesday's meeting expressed their desire to make it possible for the athletes to receive theawards they have earned and decided to invite Athletic Director C. F. Lappenbusch to the next meetingto discuss the financial situation with them. Also on the agenda for summer discussion and possibleaction is the proper disposal of accumulated and undistributed co-op bookstore profits. Suggestionsunder consideration are that the money, reportedly between $5,000 and $8,008, be used formaintenance and upkeep of Lakewood, for the Student Union building fund, or for the alumniassociation. Petersen and Carol Irwin were appointed to formulate recommendations. Action isalso slated on a set of proposed by-laws submitted by Paul Gillie to supplement arid augment the newly-adopted ASB constitution. Progress was indicated on the project to make a pingpong table available for student use by the appointment of Miss Pat Heiber to make the necessary arrangements. Arequest by the administration for ASB financial support of the recreation mixer Thursday night wasconsidered.

The full schedule will be announced later.' ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1952 June 27 - Page 2 ---------- Overstuffed and Understaffed Western Washington College probably has no greater friend anywhere thanthe nationally famous journalist, Sol Lewis, editor of the Lynden Tribune. Mr. Lewis has an enthusiasticinterest in the college. In a recent column, after pointing to Everett's nosing past Bellingham in thecensus figures, he suggested: "Energetic Hal Arnason and Secretary Jerry Gannon of the BellinghamChamber of Commerce certainly oughtn't to be willing to tail behind the Everett shingle weavers andwhistle punks. By continuing to whip up interest in the fine campaign started in Bellingham to drawattention to the bargain educational opportunities offered at our top-grade Western Washington College,they can easily recruit many additional resident students and show the dust to the Snohomish countysawdust center. "Building the enrollment at Western is a duty Hal and Jerry and their members owe thenation right now. A critical shortage of teachers is reported everywhere. School buildings are overstuffedand understaffed. The present supply of teachers will have to be drafted for night shift overtime duty unless more high school graduates can be induced to train for the profession. Some of the youngsters mayhave to be left home altogether and will be growing dumber than the older generation unless theChamber of Commerce daddys and granddaddys rally and rouse up a raft of freshmen to crowdWestern's modern million dollar buildings to the rafters. " * * * This is not a campaign the professorsshould be expected to battle through alone. In every community, they should have the Hals and Jerrystaking the leadership in selling young people on the opportunities for a lifetime of distinguished serviceoffered in the teaching profession. At alumni reunions everywhere now, graduates are voicing tributes tothe faculty members who gave them the lessons they needed for success. The graduates can now repaytheir instructors best by rallying for the teaching profession, seeing that it is given greater considerationand greater cooperation. Thafs the only way to induce apprentices to enter it. Let them repay Mr. Chipswith enough chips to pay his grocery bill." Job Outlook Best in Elementary Teaching In elementaryschools the need for teachers is great and increasing, according^ to the United States Departmentof Labor. The shortage of .qualified, teachers for the elementary grades will be intensified in the next fewyears by a combination of sharply expanding enrollments in these grades and losses of teachers tohigher-paying fields of work. The greatest need for teachers this fall will be in the first four or five gradeswhere enrollment will be highest. The great numbers of children born in the late depression years andduring World War H are now in school. Enrollments in grades one to eight will increase by six million inthe next six years because of the very high birth rates of the postwar period. It is expected thatelementary school enrollments will continue to increase throughout this decade. College and universitystudents completing standard certificate requirements for elementary school teaching will number only 43,000 this year, according to a survey by the National Education, association. Total demand in gradesone to eight is estimated to be for more than 100,000 new teachers. Over half of this number are neededto replace teachers leaving the school rooms. The teaching profession has always suffered losses ofpersonnel during periods of full employment when college-trained workers are in great demand. Defensemobilization has already increased the withdrawal rate of teachers in some localities and furtherlosses are expected throughout the country. Teacher withdrawal rates tend to be higher amongelementary than among secondary teachers and are much greater among women than among men. MORE RURAL JOBS The employment situation for elementary teachers is not uniform throughout thecountry, however.

If not, how about taking a middle of the road slant at the problem? I think that it is more in trend with modern thinking for function-alism if the buildings are named for their useâ€”Library PE building, etc. It makes it easier for newcomers and visitors to find their way around the campus.However, it would also be nice to honor some of the giants in our midst and of the past. So â€” why don't we name rooms for individuals? Lest there be a stampede to get names on the doors it could beagreed that $200 must be raised by the friends of a person before that person could be honored by having a room named in his or her honor. Some of the money could be used to buy a nameplate for the doorand a good framed photograph of the honored one. The balance could either be used for some equipment to be used in that room or turned over to the alumni scholarship fund. The number designation wouldalso remain on the door to guide students, but the rooms could easily be known as the Kibbe corner,Wood-ring heights, etc. Another advantage in using rooms is that there are more of them so there would be a chance to honor more of those who h a v e ; helped make, the college what it is today.'

If there is a sport that anyone is particularlyinterested in, and it is not on the summer program they should talk to Mr. Carver and if enough interestis shown he will work it into the schedule. more job outlook (Continued from Page 2) In general,positions are more readily available in rural areas than in large city schools. The proportion of teachers leaving their jobs each year varies greatly from state to state and among localities within a state.The rates are relatively high in states or localities where salaries are low and in most rural areas where living conditions are unsatisfactory. States paying salaries lower than adjoining states have particulardifficulty in filling positions. At the high school level, the over-supply of teachers which existed in somesubject fields during the past year is shrinking very fast. The number of graduates preparing for highschool teaching this year is 14 percent less than in 1951. Moreover, many persons completingcertification requirements never seek teaching positions. This is especially true at a time, such asthe present defense mobilization period, when other jobs are easily obtained. SECONDARY DEMAND INCREASES High school teachers are now in demand in all subject fields as replacements for those leaving the profession. However, the need for personnel is greater in some fields than others. Homeeconomics teachers have continued in short supply since the early 1940's. Girls' physical educationteachers are also in demand. Teachers with library science training meet little competition andteachers of mathematics and certain physical sciences find openings readily. Competition has alreadyeased in the fields which , were especially overcrowded last yearâ€”English, social science, andmen's physical education. It may well be that all teaching fields staffed primarily' by men will havepersonnel shortages within the next few years, as the defense program progresses. CLIMBING MOUNTBAKER. Every year one of the week-end recreation plans of the college is a trip to the summit of MountBaker. All Western students are invited on this years excursion, which will be sometime in late July.Mixer, Vancouver Trip, Glimb Begin Recreation Program Western's summer recreation program got off toa big start last night with the all-college mixer which was well attended.

Holly's Men's Shop The Store With the TIE APPEAL 106 W. Holly * ** BUCHAN'S The GOOD Bread WHEN IS TOO FAST? "How fast is fast?" This question probablyarouses more widely divergent opinion among drivers than any other traffic safety topic. "When such amarked difference of opinion exists," Chief James A. Pryde of the Washington State Patrpl said, "it isobvious why so many traffic accidents each year involve a speed violation." "Posted speed limits," hesaid, "give only the top speed at which enforcement and engineering officials feel travel is safe underideal weather, physical, and mechanical conditions. Anything less than that calls for a proportionatereduction of speed." THE HOLLY BARBER SHOP 206*4 E. Holly Street Frank Weyand - Neil Thomas Geo. Heffley, Prop.

As it is, he limpsonce in a While on a cold morning. World War JI veteran of five years' combat experience, Curtis spentthree years at Western preparing to teach before he succumbed in 1948 to the lure of army OCS.Twenty months after being commissioned, he was on his way to Korea with the 2nd Infantry division. Ten months after that, he was cited for knocking out an enemy machine gun positon on Hill 451, nearHeartbreak ridge, with "complete disregard for personal safety." He dashed forward, the armyinformed the Collegian, through heavy hostile artillery, mortar, and automatic weapons fire to a pointwithin 15 yards of the enemy emplacement. Prom this point he threw a grenade into the position,killing-five of the enemy and wounding three others. The citation was accompanied by the Silver Starmedal for gallantry in action, the nation's third highest combat decoration. Lieutenant Curtis returned tohis platoon uninjured. That little limp he has today represents a direct hit to the knee by a big rock rolled down on him later by an unfriendly Chinese communist. As his only disability after almost ten yearswith the U. S. Army, Curtis is of the opinion that the limp can be accepted with some equanimity. "Just so I don't get rocks in my head," he quips. No rocks in the head are evident as the lieutenant uses his30-day leave to earn some of the credit still needed for his WWC degree. "I'll make it yet," he says. "Bydegrees." DISTINCTIVE JEWELRY F.

Don't think I'm changing my mind over-things I've harped about all year long; no, not that. But the last Collegian copy to come under this editor's censorship is all set up and ready to roll. THANKS, FACULTY Last week the staff voted Henry Hurd, industrial arts instructor, their most co-operative faculty member for this college year. His willingness to give time whenever needed v/on him the favorite spot We've thus expressed our appreciation to Mr. Hurd, but to th'e''entire faculty I wish to give thanks for an especially cooperative year. Their help with weekly beats-, our frequent special requests and our big social highlight of the year, the Prom, has been sincerely appreciated. AN EDITOR'S LESSON Thanks to ASB prexy Dec Barron for those precious scoops he saved for us. Of course,, we'll just have to overlook the time I assigned a scoop to a dorm girl and {old Dec to (et her know the Board appointments. All three dorm phones were. in .there cjick-ing, thanks to my brilliant assignment. And naturally everyone . was surprised when they read in the paper Who'd been chosen. Oh, well, editors have to learn too, don't they? And here's merci beaucoup to the printers, Art Miller and Walt Sutherlen, not only for the rr«- terial things like endless numbers of cups of coffee, but also for their kind advice and assistance. And heaven knows they had to give a lot of it. to the pea-green soph editor that came to them fall quarter, 1943. May Collegian staffs always be lucky enough to have a print shop gang like Art, Walt, Lil, and Frank to help make fun out of work. PAGE EDS PLENTY O.K. Here's hats off to "Mare" for Guff n' Stuff. She's shown her stuff in the weekly guff she's given us. And I think she's hit a certain collegiate style of presenting gossip and humor that can't be beat. Much as we other page eds hate to admit it, we'll have to. crown the sports editor holding the most "first page finished" title of the year. To Jean Borchardt go my thanks for her willing help on the paper. In this, her first year on the Collegian staff, she's been 'a true associate editor in every sense of the word although she never held the honor of the title. FORGIVE US, DEAR CUBS May the cubs forgive us for what the printers ' termed the cruelest initiations the print shop has ever seen. Hikes, speeches on street corners, dirty faces, '•perilous trips through dark tunnels, topped with diets of garlic and raw oysters only go toward making better journalists. A returning editor's comment was, "It only goes to prove what I've always said, . . women are more cruel than men!" From where I stand r. no; comment. (What, an, editor (Continued on Page Pour) Gresham Addresses Sunday Services • Baccalaureate service will be held this Sunday afternoon at 4 p. m. in the college auditorium.

"Pillars of Peace" was freshman Ralph Stevens topic for this program which was one of the most solemn assemblies WWC students have witnessed this year. Another frosh, Marilyn Anderson gave two readings, "In Flanders Field" and "A Letter to Saint Peter." The playing of , Taps by two Bellingham high school boys. Richard Horn and Clyde Sines, concluded the program. Holiday Welcome ' • Studes caught up on their sleep and suntanning Tuesday when, classes adjourned and the building was locked in recognition of the national Memorial day holiday. Some are quoted as spending the day studying, but, for the most part, it was a welcome recreational holiday that served as a "breather" "before final exam • cramming. Sorgenfri Appointed Open Week General Chairman • Virginia Sorgenfrei has been appointed general chairman of opening week, fall '44.

Milk Detail Tiresome; 'Doc' Brings Cow • Ingenious act to end all ingenious acts was one staged by former WWC student Russell Washburn, now a corporal stationed in Italy. I t seems that "Doc," as he was dubbed in college, was detailed to walk two miles each morning to get milk. Resourceful corporal -that he is, Russell: couldn't "see" ail this unnecessary exercise, so after approximately two of these jaunts he was accompanied on the return trip by "Bossie" herself. "She was a very good cow,". 6aid Russell, "after we took the schrap-nel out of her hide." 'Course the big question now is what to do with this walking milk dispensary when the Rome push fcegihs. ^ Corporal Washburn came to WWC in 1941 from Marysville, Washington where his father is mayor. His wife, the former Hazel Anderson was also active in school affairs and was Klipsun editor last year.

Although kerosene takes coupons now, a'look back at an editor's year- shows that burning midnight oil is still the vogue. A few this year said, "Why try .;to have a paper until after the duration?" May this naturally prejudiced source only hope that /through .support of school ^activities, initiation of: projects/ and unbiased presentations -of- news, the staff has..explained that,/'why iffy."'

With the end, a will is often associated-. So, although this end is merely a last "30" from the editor's keys, with it goes a will. There are queer things being willed, though—not money or land .. just praise and* hard work.. The first and foremost heirs' are some worthy-of-praise-kids,. -the. ones, whose names consistently, appear .in the same spot above the editorials each week.

She could stop those -exercises, but she. loves the beach in the. summertime. And that's, why she's trying sooooooo hard for a tan which she's determined to acquire in spite of the eight stages her sunburn has to suffer through before it begins to look— beige. Speaking of stages, she is a veteran on one—was a star actor on noted Seattle stages (hi-school stuff) and made a fall debut at WWC in "Brief Music'^-exercis-ing again. Our soph Shakespeare goes for all forms of drama and literature and who knows, she.maybe a future actress. But the crystal ball sees her as a future teacher.

Active in practicafly all of WWC's clubs, including Valkyrie, she was a chairman for the Edens hall "Time Was" dance, not forgetting that she worked ast a librarian this . year until she quit and took time to read the books she had been stacking.

Philosophical Digit Prowls on Evil DaySUPERSTITIOUS?â€”Take-a close look at this picture; any of these things ever happen to you? Somepeople seem to think that if you walk under a ladder, break a mirror, spill salt, or let a black cat crossyour path, you've had it. You may not believe any of this, but watch your step today at least. TWs isFRIDAY THE 13th. TimeMachine to Make Homecoming Real Gay Professor Dilliam Wittrich an-*nounced today that his TIME machine would be ready by November Df this year. Wittrich, a brilliantmember of Western's physical science department, has been building a device to conquer time andspace in his spare time. Last spring Miss Kay MacKenzie md Dave Northrup, co-Homecomingchairmen, advanced "Dillie" the lecessary funds to proceed with his metriculous researches. Both Davemd Kay justified their expenditure of student monies by saying, We want the 1954 Homecoming to jethe most authentic ever." "This machine will enable us to jo back to the Gay Nineties and â€¢eallyobserve the fads and fash-ons of that time. We also plan to jring the 1895 coach back to 1954 to issist'Straightline' and his boys in heir trouncing of Eastern's Sav-iges. I wonder if they were using the *T' atWestern then?;,' (ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED Last night in his Sehoiiie cave workshop, Wittrich revealedto a Collegian reporter that only the finishing adjustments needed to be made and the test trials could be run. "It'll be hot to go, by November 5," he said. Professor Wittrich first conceived the possibilty of apractical chrono-dynamic device after completing a nine day spree on "Amazing Stories." Rumor has itthat Pres. Haggard will be brought face to face with himself. The boy will meet the man. How this is tobe accomplished and what laws of time and space will be violated cannot be known at this time. ButWittrich is- determined to attempt this as his key experiment. What this will accomplish isn't knowneither, but Dave and Kay mentioned last spring that it would be nice if the younger W.W.H. could crownQueen Sigrid XVII so that she might reign over the two festivous days and t h e annual Homecoming ballat the armory. In concluding the interview, Professor Wittrich stated that Novem- (Continued on page4) By WIL KNUTSEN A Persian philosopher many years ago sat on a stone slab by a dusty road and,in between mouthfuls of grapes, made a historic comment about how the moving finger writes andnobody on earth can erase this writing. This came as a surprise to me, because I was expecting somecomment about the quality of the grapes â€” they were really terrible and could have been put to betteruse. The Persian may have been a litle pessimistic. Let's look at it the other way and realize that allgood things we have done will never, by the same token, be taken away from us. Which is another wayof saying that the steaks we fried and the salmon we've baked this summer are now ours. EXISTENCEAnd nobody famous, pious, or witty can take it away from you. The only person who can come close todoing this- would be an Ed. 411 student who may claim you never did eat the steak or bake the salmon.Anyway, you'd never believe it unless you also were an odd-ball solipsist. (A solipsist is a guy whotWnks his girl doesn't exist because she didn't, show up for the date last night.) Concisely, then, wemay say that we have had a lot of nice experr iences this summer which are ours to keep. But bewaretodayâ€”it's Friday, the 13th, and we'don't want to wreck the record now. FATEFUL FINGER FINDSThe moving finger has caught up with us. Our every move is being watched. Don't spill the salt, or let aladder pass over your head. And always keep one jump ahead of black cats. Keep your eyes open-wideopen. The main thing is, don't get flustered. Play it cool, even though it is orientation. A new phase offresh- a bad day.

The stars occasionally get crossed up like this and . . .That's it, the stars! Today we turn the tables. The worm turns, so to speak. BLAME ON STARS Todaywe can rationalize any or all our failures as being star-crossed. This plan has real possibilities.Suppose you miss a class. You think of reasons, like these: "The moving hand of destiny picked me uplike a pawn on a checkerboard and put me in the lounge," or, "I got up this morning and found a cigarette butt in my sock. It was an omen," or, "Mother died, God forgot me, and I fell." There are so manyopportunities here. . Tlius we turn this one unlucky day of summer into a lucky one. We (Continuedon page 4) At a special meeting the Board gave final consideration to the individual requests. In orderto be consistent with their previous action, refusing to buy stage risers for the choir, they cut from theorchestra budget a similar request for risers. Bill Nehers and Rodger Williams volunteered to checkthe budget for mathematical errors. It will be mimeographed and distributed for use this Fall, according to Henry Howe, ASB president. GAY VEEP At the regular BOC meeting Wed-? nesday, the Board. ruledthat the vice-president's chair was vacant. Dave Gay, a board member, was appointed vice-president protem, and Gorden Pfister, who will be on the Board in the Fall, was appointed to fill the resultingvacancy on the present Board. At this meeting, the chairman read a letter of resignation submittedby Miss Pat Cain, recently appointed secretary. Marilyn HoL-brook was appointed ASB secretarjr for the remainder of the quarter. Reversing a previous action, the- Board moved to limit the number of Lakewood keys in circulation to five, Ejarjier this summer they d e cided to give one key to each of the 15 boardmembers in order to facilitate easier access to the property by the students. The reconsideration ofthis was in response to a request directed to the board by a student, Armand Daws. Library Books Due Tuesday PM, August 17 AH library books are due Tuesday, August 17 before 9:30 p. m., announces Mrs. Enid Griswold, circulation librarian. Students who need books for a longer period of time canreceive permission at the loan desk for extension of time. Those books not returned by August 20 willhave a $1.00 non-clearance fee charged to them. College Staff Terminates With Farewells This is the last issue of the Collegian for Summer quarter '54 and the. 1953-54 school year. The staff of theCollegian hope that you have enjoyed the fruits of their labors. The Collegian now suspends publicationuntil Freshman Week of Fall quarter. To those persons present only for Summer quarters, we wish tosay that we hope you enjoyed your stay at the "College by the Mountains and the Sea" and that manyof you will be back; with us next summer.â€” Dave Gayv Editor, WWjCpl-legian. ---------- Western Washington Collegain - 1954 August 13 - Page 2 ---------- Controversy Marks Interest, Spirit With this, the fortieth and last, edition of the 1953-54 WWCol-legian,another school year draws close to the end. The school year past has been eventful, to say the least.Stren- .uous agreements and disagreements have been the order of the day, with periods of calmbetween, in student body affairs. BOARD TEEMS -Student government at Western, the Board of Control, has beei* fraught with dissension, sometimes bitter, sometimes calm, always expressed with volume,loquacity and earnestness. Such a condition, we feel, is greatly to be desired. It may be noted thatduring the past school year student body elections showed a distinct rise in the number of voters taking advantage of their franchise, and that student activities have been better supported. The increase ofspirit on the Board of Control, the center of activities, may have contributed to the overall spirit at theschool. We think it has. A suggestion: Perhaps it would be wise, in the future, to furnish Boardmembers, besides coffee at the meetings, with nerve tonic and indigestion tablets. COLLEGIAN BUSYThe Collegian, too, has had a full year., The 1953-54 school year was the first year of return to a full eightpage paper during the regular year. This contributed, we feel, to more comprehensive coverage of thenews on campus. The policy of the paper during the year has been one of attempting to furnish thestudents with criticism of various facets of Western, both favorable and unfavorable. In an endeavor topresent more than one side of the question, policy has been to open the editorial and the Letter to theEditor columns to considered student opinion. EDITOR GOOFED We consider the greatest mistakemade in the past year, as far as the Collegian is concerned, was the serving of the editor on the Board ofControl while editor of the Collegian. This fact necessarily curtailed the facile operation of editorial opinionon BOC happenings, whether the opinions were to be favorable or otherwise. We have meant the paperduring the past year to have been informative, relaxing, and thought-stimulating. We hope that in whatever measure we have succeeded, we have pleased you. The highest of praise must go to the Collegian staffduring the past year for their diligent execution of duty. And the deepest thanks to Mr. Pat Allan,Collegian adviser, for his wise counsel and staunch support, without which the job would have beeninsupportable, at times. Dave Gay, Ex-Collegian Editor WWCoHegian Page 2 Friday, August 13, 1954Soprano Fault's Performance Concludes A lt;S*L Series By DOROTHY HARBISON The summer series of the Artist and Lecture programs closed last night when Ellen Paull, soprano, was presented in theauditorium at Western Washingtgon College. Miss Paull sang a carefully selected and unusualprogram of great interest, opening with the beautiful Sommi Dei by George Frederick Handel. Badamisto, the opera from which this aria is taken, marked Handel's third visit to England, when he produced it in 1729 at the Haymarket Theatre for the then Royal Academy of Music. ;f I *!* MOOD CHANGES FromRodelinda, another of Handel's Italian operas, "Mio Caro Bene" shows the composer in anothermood which gave Miss Faull a chance to exhibit the flexibility of a charming voice as opposed to thecalm serenity of the first number. For her second group Miss Faull sang five lieder by Johannes Brahmsthat progressed from the whimsical to the declamatory. "Es liebt sich so lieblich in Lenze," "InWaldeseinsamkeit, "Das Maedchen Spricht," "Maedchenlied," and "Bot-schaft" comprised thesenumbers, which were followed by a diversified series of French songs. "Le Temps des Lilas" by Ernest Chaus-son, tells the sad story of how kisses exchanged in the time of lilacs and roses faded with theflowers; "Le Chapelier," a brief little song by the highly eccentric Erik Satie, who lived from 1866 to1925, and wrote many songs of a simliar catchiness to this one that tells of the Mad Hatter in "Alice inWonderland" dunking his watch in his tea to make it go, as Miss Faull explained before singing it mosteffectively. "A Sa Guitare," "Hotel," and "Voyage a Paris" were three attractive Poulenc numbers, t he "Chanson Norvegienne" by the contemporary composer, Fourdrain, closed the group.

The pretty 25 year old graduate student attended theUniversity of Aberdeen, Scotland, from October to February of the 1953-54 school year, pursuing studies in geography which she began under Professor Howard Critchfield in Bellingham. SCOTCH STUDENTSSAME "Those Scotch students have the same interests, and about the same abilities in their schoolwork, as Americans," Barbara said. The Scotch student sweats for his exams where we cram, but it's all the same difference. Barbara found the library system in the Scotch institution almost impossible touse. "The excellent magazines and periodicals are in the libraries, but just try to find them. There is no cataloging system "such as the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature. 3. once looked an entireafternoon and evening to find one single article about a particular subject, when I knew that there hadbeen dozens of such articles written," she remarked. NO RESIDENCE HALLS The University ofAberdeen is not a resident college. Students live in private homes. Barbara was shocked early afterher arrival to be approached by a male student who said, "There's a dandy room for you just acrossthe hall from me." Men and women students live in the same dwellings. Barbara and a friend fromToronto shared an apartment, without vacuum cleaner. The two girls from the Western Hemisphere did in Scotland like the Scotch do, cleaned their rugs with a whisk broom. Classes are somewhat differentin the Scottish university. After the first two years of college the student takes subjects almostexclusively in his own field. The variety of subjects taken by the American student is not known inthe Scotch colleges. DIFFERENT CLASS CONDUCT Conduct of the classes is different from thetypical American class^ room also. Students ask absolutely no questions of the professor and theprofessors rarely call upon students to recite. Most instruction is by lecture. The free-and-easyinterplay of minds found in the American college classroom is not found even at the graduate level at Aberdeen. The University of Aberdeen is picturesque beyond most American universities. Ancient ivy-covered buildings, walks covered in pink crushed stone, and students wearing their academic gowns toclasses and on the campus. After her studies in Scotland, Barbara visited relatives in NorthernSweden and Lapland, and spent a month in Portugal on her return trip to the United States. At presentshe is continuing her â€¢studies in geography with Dr. How-ard^ Critchfield. Across The Board:Legislative Body Criticized By TOM MANNEY Last Wednesday's Board meeting summarized to thisobserver all the many inefficiencies, the petty, personal quibbling, the immature emotional .irrationalbehavior that characterized far too much of the action taken by the BOC this summer. It cannot be saidthat the Board did not accomplish anything constructive, or that it never acted with good judgment. Infact they did This however, should not be news.* IT SHOULD BE NORMAL AND TAKEN FORGRANTED. The purpose of criticism here has been and remains to make the present and futureboards aware that when they act they will have to be responsible to the student body for their actions.To begin with, a majority of the Board, during the seventh week of this eight-week quarter, found itnecessary to interpret the "spirit" of the ASB Constitution so as to remove from office Carolyn Crook,ASB vice-president. At the meeting of August 8, a week prior to last Wednesday, ASB President HenryHowe announced to the Board that since Carolyn Crook is not enrolled this term, the office of vice-president is vacant. Howe recommended the Board accept applications from the students and fill thevacancy at the next meeting. Dr. Van Aver moved to appoint Gorden Pfister to the position and not waituntil next week. The Board agreed, and Gordon Pfister, who has been elected to next Fall's Board, wasappointed. As it happened, however, Howe found he was in error in that Carolyn is enrolled this termand had only taken a two-week trip. At the meeting last Wednesday, Howe ruled that the appointmentof Pfister was out of order. His reason given for this was that a vice-president pro-tem would have to be appointed from the Board before a new member could be seated. The question arose as to whetherCarolyn was still vice-president. Howe said that since she was enrolled for only eight credit hours thisquarter she was ineligible. it The ASB Constitution states that "All candidates must be enrolled for aminimum of twelve credit hours during their terms of office. It was argued that this is a loop hole in theconstitution since does not specifically state twelve credit hours per quarter, but only "twelve credithours during their terms of office." This was opposed by several members on the grounds that the "spirit" of the law must be enforced. The Board was given the responsibility to decide whether or not therewas a vacancy in the position of ASB vice-presidency. The secret-ballot vote decided there was avacancy. Following this up, the Board appointed David Gay vice-president pro-tem and appointedGordon Pfister to the vacancy thus left on the Board. Finally, the Board appointed Miss Crook honoraryvice-president. At least a minority of the Board mem bers regret that she is no longer the elected vice-president. Jukebox The greatest Jukebox is the eve-laing sky There where the colors swirl in coolingpeace And tinted clouds in vivid glory lie; For man alone they give their sweet release. Be wise and drop the weight of tears and watch A graying needle on the golden disc As evening's shadow fingers reachto touch The soul of wise men who are quick to risk A nickel's worth of time to hear The silent music ofthe spheres. â€”George Cole.

Boston U. Wants Straight Line Info. By JOHN BOLING Charles (Lappy)Lappenbusch, Western's head football coach and director of athletics, whose "Straight Line" is sofamiliar to Viking athletes, has received an offer to join next, summer's faculty at Boston University forthe expressed purpose of teaching his Straight Line Philosophy of football. Lappenbusch, whooriginated the Straight Line, has recently published the third in a series of books on his philosophy.His latest work deals with the Multiple Offense in the Straight Line. In his books Lappenbusch dealswith the fundamental basis of his philosophy in football and basketball and gives the results of its(Continued on Page 4) Student Reports Birds-eye View By JANET VAN AVER "Air travel will not becompletely safe until we can eliminate the drive to the airport." This assertion, expressed by Dr. AlanPawelek, Industrial Arts, is just another illustration that flying is today the cheapest and safest method of transportation. "Statistics prove," Dr. Pawelek continued, "that for the number of air miles traveled,there are fewer plane accidents than is generally believed. The unfavorable publicity crashes receiveconvinces many people that there are more accidents than statistics show. AERONAUTICS STUDIED Monday, August 9, nine students in I.A. 480 and 489, accompanied by Dr. Pawelek, took me with them on a field trip to the Bellingham Airport to increase their knowledge of aeronautics. To learn moreabout power and transportation and how to apply this knowledge to teaching is the purpose of thecourse. Students enrolled in these courses are LeRoy VIENNA CLEANERS, INC.

When we first reached the Airport we were greeted by Earl Erik-son, owner and manager, who escorted our group through the hangar. There we observed workersrebuilding a small private plane. After that we examined a rebuilt Piper Cub, now used for dustingcrops. During the course of our stay various members of our party visited the United Airlines Terminal,the radio and weather stations, and the flight instruction classroom. FLIGHT INTERESTING The mostinteresting part of our field trip, however, was the short flight which for some was a first experience.Wayne Fowler, an accomplished pilot, flew our four place Piper Pacer. He lives on Shaw Island and fliesto the airport every morning, the trip taking a short quarter hour. As we roared down the runway heexplained to us the functions of some of the instruments and the type of motor the Piper the runway Icaught a glimpse of Highway 99 which looks like a long silver ribbon. Nearby, the Motor- Vu drive-ih,which I had trouble recognizing from the air, looked like a three sided saucer. On one side of us was theBay and on the other stretched t he prosperous farms near Perndale. We glided past the oil refinerywhich looks much more impressive from the air than it does from the road. We then headed back to theairport. Just before we sailed down has. It was interesting to me to realize that the altimeter records thenumber of feet above sea level and not the height from the ground. Featuring . . . COSTUME JEWELRYF. STANLEY NORMAN Jeweler Hotel Leopold Lobby Pfe. S74 We were now in the air and gainingaltitude steadily as we flew out toward Marine Drive. At about one thousand feet we leveled off andcruised along at 120 m.p.h. At that speed one hardly seems to be moving until the plane hits an airpocket or one sticks his hand out the window and feels the air pressure. As we flew over Western andSe-home hilL we were able to see Lake Whatcom in the distarice. We were lucky to have such a brightday. The shadows of the few clouds in the sky made interesting patterns on the green fields we werenow soaring over. The popping in our ears told us we were losing altitude and it wasn't long before ourPiper Pacer had careened to a stop and we were clambering out of the cockpit. Even though I have flown before it was surely a thrilling experience to wonder again how we look to the birds. Wayne allowed me to handle the controls for a few minutes. Gee! It's much easier to fly a plane than to drive a carâ€”nostop signals, or busy traffic, and no danger of running off the road and hitting a tree. Outlook Not BrightFor Football-Loppy The football outlook for Western this fall isn't too bright, according to CharlesLappenbusch, h e ad coach. "Unless I find some men in the next few weeks," he lamented, "we'll belucky to win one game." This gloomy statement arises from the fact that the squad lost heavily via thegraduation route last year. This is coupled with the fact that several returning lettermen f r om the '53squad are ineligible for one reason or another. John Kulbitsky, the new assistant football coach, has notyet arrived from the east and this leaves all of the pre-season scouting for prospects up toLappenbusch. Kulbitsky comes to Western this fall replacing Ciszek as head track coach and assistantfootball coach. He has been employed by the University of Minnesota as frosh football mentor. Dueto the lack of returning veterans, Lappenbusch is going to be forced to rely strongly on new blood. Hestates the "New kids, inside of six practices, will be starting in the first game." Some returning lettermen which will form the nucleus of the '54 squad are: Willis Ball, All-conference tackle in '53 and anominee for Western's Athlete of the Year; Ralph Squillace, who was All-coast guard for small collegesin '53; Maurice Halleck, center of the '53 squad; Don O'Dell, who made his letter at end as a frosh;George Hansen, husky sophomore, who should be one of the mainstays of the line; Norm Richardson,lots of experience at tackle; and Keith Cabe, guard and tail safety on the '53 squad. Some of those who are ineligible and will be sorely missed are: Don Lapp and "Skip" Kayes, who are both fast runningbacks and really leave a big gap in the backfield with their absence; and Jack Shee-han, fullback.HANDWOVENS SKIRTS, STOLES GIFT ITEMS JUST 3 BLOCKS DOWN FROM COLLEGE CLAIRENIX 510 State Phone 3607-R Keep Washington Green CRUSH YOUR SMOKES Sponsored byPREVENT FOREST FIRES!

Ray Ciszek, who has for several years been Western's track mentor and has assisted Lappenbusch with football, is now studying for his Ph.D. at Boston University. Ciszek has aroused much interest in Lap-penbusch's philosophy around the Boston area and may be partly responsible for the Viking Straight Line Philosopher's invitation to theEast. This could be the "big break" that "Lappy" has been looking for. It will give him a chance to gainna- #oprwid? publicity for his Straight Line teachings.

Cherniavsky who has postponed his Tuesday engagement with the Artists series until May 11. This switch in assembly programs was arranged at the request of ASB election officials. Cherniavsky has demonstrated his willingness to cooperate in a matter of democratic importance to WWC students. Students can demonstrate their faith by attending Tuesday's election assembly and backing their candidates.

In the Italian election it is estimated that 90 percent of the eligible citizens exercised their voting franchise. How many do we - estimate will do the same at WWC's ASB elections Wednesday? FOR G I R L S ONLY. Merely a suggestion: Encourage your boy friends to participate in the annual WWC beard growing contest. As one girl so aptly put it last week, "After all it gives you something to hang onto." This could be an important factor when marriage bureaus count up the score at the end of this leaping year. How will you stack up? At least a tuft of beard from, the 'one that got away' will be something to brag to someone else's grandchildren a b o u t in your old age. Sites For New Buildings Are Waiting Action Can the new Industrial Arts building, the auditorium, and Music building be completed a year from this September? Dr. W. W. Haggard, expressing extreme hopefulness, responded to this query by stating: "The sites for the buildings have been established and construction should begin after necessary legal negotiations relating to their purchase have court approval. I am very anxious that the buildings be ready for use by September, 1949." L a c k of mechanical engineers caused a slight delay in achieving the dateline for submitting the plans and specifications to the Board of Trustees, but the drawings are now .nearing completion, and bids will open soon. WWC has an appropriation of approximately $1,100,000 for these buildings, and the trustees will instruct the contractor to first erect a unit of each building to insure over-expenditure. Tennis Courts Expand TJennis courts will be installed on Huntoon drive and will consist of four cqurts instead of the present three. Service Fund Drive Opens as Clubs Announce Activities A campaign for funds to aid students and personnel of war devastated countries will be launched in WWC for the next two weeks under / the auspices of the World Student i Service fund. There is no specific amount a student must donate and all contributions large or small will be welcomed. The Board of Control has voted to donate $50 to the fund. A number of social activities to inspire donations have been programed for next week under the sponsorship of various groups. The following is the list of activities scheduled: Tuesday, May 4, waffle supprr, sponsored by Home Economics club; an afternoon tea given on Thursday, May 6, by the Blue Triangle; a mixed recreational hour will follow on Thursday evening; and climaxing the activities, a dance will be held on Saturday night, sponsored by International Relations club. There will be a small admission charged for the functions with the exception of the tea. Everyone is invited to attend. wcm Vol. XLVI — No. 27 Western Washington College of.

Visiting hours have been set from 4 p. m. to 7 p. m. Approximately 300 i n v i t a t i o n s have been mailed to members of Whatcom county legislators, presidents and secretaries of local cham-b e r of commerce organizations, WWC trustees, faculty members, and other persons. The public is invited to attend. A special reception committee has been formed and is headed by Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Haggard, Mr. and Mrs. Bill McDonald, Nell Lewis Mc-gregor, and Roger Hubbard, president of the hall. Refreshments will be served in the dining hall to those attending. The massive structure which was started in 1946 opened its doors to the first contingent of students last fall quarter. The open house date has been held off until last minute finishing touches and installation of late arriving furniture could be completed. Gardeners finished the transplanting of flowers and shrubbery last week.

Sporting Events Dominate Campus Day; Beards Begin Sprouting Tomorrow Games of sports and competitive events will dominate the afternoon schedule of Campus Day, according to Jerry Karnofski and Lenny Ward-man, chairmen of the sports division. Campus Day, a day of all fun and no classes, will be held at Whatcom Falls park, May 19. Among the contests scheduled are, a baby bottle contest for men only; beard contest, presumably for men only; slipper kick, girls only; tug-of-war between faculty and students; baseball games; pie eating contests, male and female; girls guzzling contest; faculty gunny sack race; mixed wheelbarrow race; and volley ball games. At the 1947 skip-day the faculty pulled the students all oyer the tug-of- war arena before the scholars defaulted by accepting outside assistance. Phyllis Armstrong copped the slipper kick contest, Bob and Peggy Nunamaker pulled into first place in the wheelbarrow race, and Dr. W. W. Haggard retained his avowed "horse shoe champion" rating. Sprouts on the otherwise unblemished faces of beard contestants will commence to bear fruit tomorrow, May 1, and continue to propagate until May 19, reports Bob Sarvis and Les Smith, whisker entrepreneurs. Smith stresses the importance of wholehearted student response in this adorning contest. At least two square inches must be in evidence if the possessor is to be eligible for one of the five major prizes. Types of beards to be cultivated will, be announced next week. To intensify student interest in the coming day, publicity chairmen Phyllis Armstrong and Art Rune-strand have placed a pictorial history of the 1947 events on the bulletin board of the main landing. Sophs Hark to Calmor Call Plans for the sophomore class picnic, Friday, May 7, at 4 p. m., place the event at Calmor grove on Lake Samish. Co-chairmen of the affair are Lois Rowe and Beverlee Burnaby. "Tickets are 50 cents," announced Sophia Shaeffert, Ticket sales manager, "and are on sale now. Only sophomores and their guests will be admitted," she added. According to t h e entertainment committee, a water show at 5 p. m. by the Calmor Water Sports club will be the highlight of the evening's activities. The agenda also includes fishing, baseball, horseshoe games, dancing and boating. After the supper, row boats will be tied together and pulled around the lake by motor boat. Various committees i n c l u d e: transportation, S h i r l e y Harrison, Jean Seelye, Cliff McCullum and Clarence Ness; food and clean-up, Jean Paton, Alton Magnuson, Esther Mjoen and Ruth Soderstrom; entertainment, Pat Wright, Alice Rob-bins, John Griffith and Lee Van de Wetering. Getting a Kick Out of C-Day Another treat in store for Campus Day fiends is the annual kickoff assembly that heralds the opening of that fun filled day. Students pictured in the above photo watched Senior hall pack off first place honors, Daniels hall cop second spot, and Edens hall finish third in the 1947 competitive skit presentations. Roma Still and Jay Lapp, assembly co-chairmen, promise that the 1948 version will surpass that of other years. PNCC Representatives Report On March 3, ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 April 30 - Page 2 ---------- :-S;^ Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, April 30,1948 oclitolials . . . In the Days of "The Old Lamp Lighter" CWC Gets 80 Percent Vote Out; WWC Gets 'Sham' Primary Over Central Washington college way the ASB election officials are jubilant over the fact that out of an enrollment of 1040 they were able to count a total of 840 ballots cast in their recent student elections. Here at Western Washington college, election officials, yea, even candidates themselves, are hanging their heads in shame. Out of an enrollment of over IGSO a mere 361 voters showed up to have a democratic lunch in the voting machines last Wednesday. Possibly there is a cause for such a wide divergence of interest in student affairs. It isn't logical to presume that the few miles separating our geographical areas is the explanation; nor is it reasonable to suppose that climatic conditions played too important a part in the voter turnout. We know for a fact that their physical makeup corresponds with our homo sapiens qualities . . . now that we mentioned it, maybe it isn't the physical but the mental makeup that seems to set us at opposite poles. For instance: We can well remember last fall when a vastly superior football team barely managed to eke out a win over a determined Ellensbjjrg eleven. If there is any correlation btween the spirit a student body carries into its athletic frays and the final tabulations of election officials, maybe that is why Ellensburg won two of the three basketball games last season; or possibly that can explain why their basketball nine made a clean sweep of this year's pre-season games. When you stop to compare the number of wins in athletic contests with the number of votes cast in recent elections, the answerbook shows: ELLENSBURG, out of 8 games won six for an average of 75 percent. They had 80 percent of their student body vote. BELLINGHAM, out of eight games won two for an average of 25 percent. We had 36 percent of our student body vote. There might not be any correlation, but you would have an awful time proving it to the coaches. Of course there are more athletic contests next fall . and there is a general election coming up next Wednesday. How will the score book read after Wednesday? Americans-are murdering the English language, a word expert, (Prof. James; B. McMillan of the University of Chicago, told not-too-skeptical newsmen Wednesday. "American is a language all its own now," he said. "We owe this to the way we kick it around." English instructors should note the touch of approval in Prof. McMillan's tone and get hep to the world instead of knockfng themselves out with a red pencil over student manuscripts. WELL . . WELL . . THAT IS NEWS . . . "Don't laugh at the little women's new bonnet, fellers," Hollywood hair stylists warn. "Wait till she takes it off. What's underneath will be even funnier." Since when is that news? Reminds us of the woman who complained to a judge recently that her husband told her that she had a face that would stop a clock. To illustrate his remark he bopped her in the'puss with an alarm clock. She got a divorce. World News with dowd PALESTINE . . . Pull-scale warfare between the Jews and the Arabs is about to be opened. Egyptian troops are massing on the southern border of the tiny disputed country. King Abdullah announced Thursday that the Arab League had decided to use its regular armies in the fighting. The Transjordan army has begun to march into the Holy Land. Only good news is that the U. N. has secured mutual promises from both sides to respect the holy city of Jerusalem. (Meager British forces attacked the Jewish invaders of the Arab city of Jaffa Wednesday.) CHINA . . . . The Chinese people elected General Lee Sung Chen as the nation's vice-president. A liberal, Chen's election may bring about closer harmony between the Republic and the United States. WASHINGTON . . . The House voted to repeal the taxes on oleomargarine 260 to 107. The bill which goes to the Senate is expected to have a 50-50 chance or better of passing. CHICAGO . .". The nation's railroads may be tied up for an indefinite period. May 11 is the date set for a nation-wide strike of 150,000 locomotive engineers, firemen, enginemen, and switchmen. PENNSYLVANIA . . . Harold Stassen was successful again in this state. Observers are predicting Stassen will get "his" a t the GOP convention when Bob Taft and Tom Dewey gang up on Harold. This makes Vandenberg loom even larger as a dark horse candidate since Stassen is a supporter of the senate president.

Spring of Yesteryear Recalls Happy Days; Karefree Kids By HARRY PAGELS Where are t he snows of yesterday — I mean, yesteryear? Melted. This, then, is the season when a young man's uninhibited fancy turns lightly to thoughts of placing a cautious foot upon the campus green, giving vent to a maniacal laugh, and sneaking off to class. Jasper, expel that man! Before you make the supreme sacrifice, cast a look back a few years— to 1915, for instance. Students then did not have to give a swiftly guarded glances over their shoulders, jab —• — — their feet stealthily upon the lawn, and scurry away, unseen. Certainly not! There was no lawn. It might be interesting to review the year 1915 and see how modern student activities compare with those of yesteryear's snows. Get out your 1915 Klipsuns, you students still struggling with "bonehead" and look. ''Arbor Day." A big event on the social calendar. Designated clubs and organizations dug up the withered shrubs along Huntoon Drive and replaced them with brand new unwithered shrubs. A gala affair. In the evening, everybody shoveled off to the mixer. Unfortunately, the exciting event has lost color in the passing of time and the unwithered shrubs of 1925 have not stood the test. They withered. The Soph's class-day was another of these hilarious occasions. A tin box, containing the class roll, list of officers and faculty advisors, and an issue of the Klipsun, was buried under the front walk, and covered over with fresh cement. The entire student body (about 300) witnessed the grand fete, cheering the spaders on with, "Blue! White! F i g h t! Fight!" The soph's would then desert the campus, leaving the rest of the student body (about 298) to resume classes at the mercies of the instructors (about 120). A rawthuh ripping affair, you know. A recreation hour was given Friday afternoons weekly. Receptions and teas were planned even then. (uh, pass a crumpet, my dean). Little get-togethers (at proper arm's distance) were enjoyed by all, the men indulging in a little snutfi'-to-snuff talk, while the women discussed the latest thing in crochet hooks and dagger eyes. Throughout the entire year college life was spiced by annual events termed "campus capers" (quite original) and "Faculty Fun" (definitely original)-. Then the biggest event of the year loomed into the horizon! Fanfare! Announcing t h e Marathon! "Whooopeeee" cried the men profanely. 'Whoop," uttered several brazen women. The entire student body, 299 strong (one transferred), hiked to the top of Chuckanut mountain, and inscribed their names in a little black book provided for the event. Occasionally the little black book left when the students did; this resulted in the installation of a telephone at Edens hall. Modern students, it seems, have outgrown all this. If ya gotta grow, ya gotta grow. AFTER THE SHOW OR GAME Eat at MACS Closed ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 April 30 - Page 3 ---------- friday, April 30,1948 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Hated Houie Tleivs Men's Residence Hal! THE BLASTERS WON ONE! That's the big news for this week, friends!! . . . Jess Winders is covering all bets on the number of kittens due here . . . MacDermott is entering the "hot-rod" row. . . Everyone here is wondering what Floyd Ogden is packing under his shirt. It's been almost three months now since he saw the tops of his shoes . . . Since Rapid Robert Hopkins has his new car, one date or trip per night is the minimum . . . Don Sayan can't seem to get back here with any money from his job in Seattle . . . Our Sgt.-of-Arms, Bob Scolls, hasn't been setting the best of examples. ,. . . Moldowan and Ryan have asked to be invited to the next? party held in their room . . . News note: the Green Hornet tangled with a curb and came out second best . . . Say, Jim, how did you keep yourself warm coming back from Birch Bay in the back of that truck Sunday? . . . Pete Hansen went to Vancouver last week-end to look for the one he lost the one before . . ( ? ) . . . (Read it again—it makes sense) . . . Cliff Simmons claims to be the cribbage champ of the dorm—just a claim, though . . . Sunday the dorm is going to show off its "Sunday-best" to the people who will come a-visitin' . . . AND—Many of the boys would like to thank Mrs. Bagley for the many favors she has. done for us "gazaboes" around here. We really appreciate it, Mrs; Bagley; Harborview Mon Cheri: Pardon the French, but Harborview's been making mit der Parle Vous' this week. We had as a guest Denise Bancalari, exchange student from France. Among other things, she gave to us the realization that we are all extremely wealthy. Merci to the ACE for bringing her to us, and also to Lynn Shannon, who played the perfect hostess. Merci Beaucoup to Marge Kingsley who arranged the. trip to Mount Baker. Harborview's Jeune Fille's react well to the gay French influence. Or is it the good old American springtime? Clarice Smith continues to get "les lettres" (luff??). Carol Erickson and Dolly McArthur practice their ju-jit- su. Arlene Swanson just sighs, "wish it would storm, 'cause I really like lightning." Allons, or as Denise would say "Droop Daid"! Senior Hall We sincerely hope that at the next Valkyrie meeting the members will decide against sending Alice Robbins home with a piece of skunk cabbage. The stuff just can't be eaten—just ask Betty Butler who had to have a stomach pump applied late one night last week. Also will the second floor girls please restrain themselves from sprinkling perfume around, especially around Gloria "hate the stuff" Boyce. Maybe Cleopatra loved it, hut—Why is it that Charlene "Drippy" Webb always seems to be on the receiving end of a thrown glass of water? People will begin to think we don't have showers like the other disorganized houses. Hate to mention certain incidents but why is it that Josie Knowles runs whenever a prowler car approaches? Plenty of bull connected to that story! If Eli Wilbanks doesn't stop bringing in souvenirs well have to kick the west wall out. Personally I think it would be a good idea to kick out the west wall anyhow—just love nature, Boy! Edens Hall Well, another week has gone by and here it is mid-term already. Ten of our ladies changed their minds about going home. In fact they like the dorm so well they got in their rooms at 7:30 every night. In other words, campused. Mrs. Hooper and Dorothy Smith shared the limelight this week-end. Both have joined the "she's lovely—she uses Ponds—she's engaged" group. According to Joyce "Roosevelt" Messer every car should come fully equipped with a lug wrench. Casualty of the week: Kay Smith's strawberry plant fell three stories to its doom. The remains are on the sidewalk. Norma Feola got eight red roses last Thursday. Anyone having any musical poems please contact Esther Mjoen. Forest Inn I am going to get thin, you just wait and see—these are the words of Tillie Thiel. Well, well wait and see and wish her good luck. If anyone knows how to cure snoring please let Pat Clark 250 North Forest know. She's getting desperate—she just, can't seem to cure her roommate. Pat Hume and Shirley Lindstrom spent an enjoyable time up at Baker last week-end celebrating Shirley's hjrthday. Shirley Haggblom also enjoyed herself— Kick came up. Cowboy Clark went to Burlington—boy is she stiff in more places than one. Tillie went to Burlington and ate. And then there's me who spent the whole week-end trying to think up something to write up for the house news. Off-Campus Girls Committees for the hike which will be bn Friday, May 14, have been posted on the bulletin board, so don't forget to check and see if your name is included . . . Seen at the Chinatown dance Saturday night were Pat Bornstein and Tom Green, Gerry Zankich and Bill Morton, Nancy Merrick and John Peters, and Marion Hardin with Bob Huggins . . . The high school's operetta last week-end drew the attention of Barbara Breazeale, Marion Nattrass, Mary Ann Call, and their respective men . . . Did anyone hear the shrill screams which came from 2 o'clock PE on Monday? Well, it really was nothing to be alarmed about— merely the inter-class volleyball tournament getting under way. The team captained by Mary Ann Call was victorious over Lois Kilander's troup by a score of 19-11 at the close of the period . . . Just lately we've noticed that happy gleam in Gerry Dillon's eyes. Must be those letters from the far north that indicate that sparkle . . . Well see you all at the junior class sponsored mixer tonite. Daniels Hall The long awaited week has arrived. This week we shall be back in the money again, sweet things will flow like wine or what have they on the shelves. Speaking of money we finally found out where "Tweet" managed to spend $20 last week-end. Some people have all the luck. Yonlick is still doing a swell job of pitching the "ball" but we are keeping our fingers crossed in case he gets up this season. Sutton has started to grow his beard, as has Brevick. Howard has been growing his all season to be ready for this event, but it looks like he is going to have to wait until next year. That is if he doesn't have a GI issue by then. Prediction: Watch the weather as all forecasts point to a wet week-end. Student Delegate Attends ACE Conference With Advisers , Pauline Roser was student delegate to the recent convention of the Association of Childhood Education held at St. Louis, Missouri, April 19-23.

CHINESE LANTERNS, PAGODAS CARRY OUT ORIENTAL THEME AT AWS SEMI-FORMAL DANCE Approximately 50 couples enjoyed dancing to the music of George Han-kins' band last Saturday night in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel, where "Chinatown", an AWS semi-formal, was held. Chinese lanterns, characters, pagodas, bamboo stalks, and Chinese printing carried out the garden theme. Small yellow novelty programs also helped to portray the Oriental atmosphere.

We move an exploring finger to where our brow used to be, adjust our cheaters, give out with a long and thought provoking Hmmmm, and read it again. A telephone call. "No. It really is in perfect condition, good soft seats—the kind you can lie back and go to sleep in, great for tired people who have had a hard day on the field—fine upholstery too, and the body is in swell condition. But last and best of all—it has an engine. Yes I know. But I mean an engine that has wim, wigor and witality. It can go anywhere What was that? Why, by all means. It goes up hills like a blue bullet. It has wonderful*pickup too. Why that bus would take you up to Mount Baker and down the other side. Yes, I know there is no road on the other side. It will take a full bus load of men over to Eastern Washington and bring them back in a flash. Good on the level too. "Yes, $4,000. No that isn't high for a bus like this, in fact it is pretty cheap for such economical transportation." A dirty saowl, a half chewed rope cigar, a classified ad, a handful of notes, and another exploring finger. Hmmmm. This time the finger goes to a button on the desk. A secretary comes. "Yes." "Take a letter to the Board of Control." We're going to get a new bus for the athletic department. Those people have been unconvenienced long enough. If we pay $4,000 for a bus, we could have that paid off, at the very most, in two years. Take this down: To Board of Control: Subject: College athletic bus." How does it go? Smoke rings bring smoke dreams? An Eastern writer rates the Michigan waters greater for steelheads .than. the rivers of the Far West. Pretty soon they'll be claimin^J^at the waters of the Great Lakes are saltier than those of the Pacific; that the mountain tops of the Iron Range are more majestic than the Cascades; or that the pickerel is a greater fighter than a silver salmon. Maybe so, we doubt it, but that was a mighty mirth provoking story of Myron W. Dal-rymple's in the May issue of Argosy magazine. Is Dave Dalby mad? Probably so, but can you blame him? He threw discus 158 feet, 6 inches, in two attempts for the University of Washington. That broke the old record him? He threw the discus 158 feet, 6 inches, in two attempts all to pieces—and now they won't count it because it was during practice. If Dalby pegs the plate as well in the dual track meet with Oregon this Saturday he will have made a new Northern division, coast conference record.

Daniels Fighting Hard For Fast-Ball Championship The third week of fastball shows the Yanks batting out a win against the Blasters. The Yanks, run by Cliff Simmons, knocked out too many hits for the Blasters to cope with. Boyd, catcher for the Yanks, socked out three runs, while Simmons, third base, and Logie, left field, each got two. Brydges, Scoll, Bianchini, Brearly, and Dahl were good for one run each for the Blasters. The final score were 9 to 5 in favor of the Yanks. Tuesday, April 20, saw the • Daniels boys defeat Hospice by a wide margin of 14 to 4. Yon-lick's superb pitching was the reason for the easy victory. Frank Gayda, pitcher for Hospice, couldn't find enough control on the ball to stop Daniels. It looks like the men from Daniels hall are out to win the championship this year so they can be legal owners of the fastball trophy. Wednesday afternoon the Yanks pounded out a 17 to 4 victory against the Forty-Fivers. The Simmons boys being the main scoring punch with three runs each. The Yanks had a tremendous fourth inning by scoring eight runs. The Forty- Fivers' trouble seemed to be in the out-field, according to Bob Borchers. The same day Hospice won a not too difficult 7 to 1 over the Sehome squad. Too much batting power of Hospice seemed to be Sehome's downfall. The Homicide squad walked off with a 7 to 2 win over the Blasters Thursday. The Homi-c i d e s are showing continued batting power as the season rolls by. The second victory of t he week for Daniels was a triumph over Mathes. The score read 9 to 6. The Daniels pounded out five runs in the second inning, while Mathes remained scoreless until the fourth when they b r o u g h t h o m e four runs. Sleigh's boys then put the game on ice by scoring three quick runs in their half of the fourth inning. Monday, Mathes were again defeated. This time by Hospice, to a tune of 9 to 6. That same afternoon the Blasters held a field day over Sehome by defeating them 21 to 3. Brydges, Scoll, and Mold-owan of the Blasters were the heavy hitters of the day, each adding a home run to h is credit. THE PASTIME * BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOE PAGLIA . . DON CAIRNCROSS 1217 Cornwall M" gt;"« **2 Ciszek Accepts Vile Cinder, Grid Sports Did you happen to see the University of Illinois football team trounce U.C.I1.A., 45-14 in the January 1, 1947 Rose Bowl game? Remember that flashy little end who played for Illinois? Wouldn't he make a wonderful assistant coach for the Vikings? Somebody else must have thought just that, for Raymond A. Ciszek has signed a contract which says he will be at the Far Western school on September 1, 1948. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch states that he will use Ciszek as a line coach for the Hilltop grid squad. During the Winter quarter he will work with the minor sports and teach PE classes. Ciszek started his sports career in high school, where he made his letter in all of the major sports. When he went to the university he competed in track and football, making four major letters in football. Also, he was on the varsity and freshmen coaching staffs in 1947. He did some assisting in football in 1948. Jumping back, he was on the Big Nine champion team in 1946. Ciszek has been recommended very highly for a football coaching position. Track, Too However, football will be the least of his worries, in the Spring he will have a whole track team to himself. He made such a name for himself in the cinder sport that Coach McDonald did some fast talking and had Ciszek signed on as the new thinclad mentor. This move will release Big Bill from the PE department in the Spring quarter and he can be more free to make field trips in the interest of the Dean of Men's office. Western Will Travel To St. Martins For Annual Relays By CECIL THOMAS Plans were completed this week for the annual St. Martin's invitational relays which are scheduled for the night of May 1, at Steven's field in Olympia. Wally Flynn, track coach for the Saints, states that invitations have been sent out to the colleges in this area and that a re-relays roster will be completed by meet time. Coach McDonald's cinder squad will travel southward for the meet and is hoping for some fine showings from the locals. The preliminaries for the second annual relays will be conducted during the day, Saturday, May 1. The finals will get under way at 7 p. m., but the running events are slated to start at 7:45. Fourteen medals will be awarded to the winners of the 14 individual events of the meet, one of the first in the small college league. Team trophies will be awarded winners of the relays. A special trophy, to be awarded to the team gathering the highest total of points in the relays, will be presented by the Olympia Elk's lodge. The points for this trophy will be determined separate from the relay events. In addtiion to the individual events, the meet will consist of relays in the mile, the 440, and medleys in the sprints and distances. The Word Is Hurry Sam Carver is looking for more prospective golfers to enter the intramural golf tournament. Several men have already signed up, but have failed to turn in their scores. To enter the tournament each man has to play three rounds of 18 holes and then find his average. Playing will commence as soon as everyone has turned in his score to Carver. New Hilltop Track Mentor "He has a brilliant football coaching career ahead of him. He is a boy of high moral character and splendid personality and I recommend him without reservation/' such were the words of Ray Eliot, head football coach at the University of Illinois when he spoke regarding Raymond Ciszek. Ciszek, 5 foot, 101/?, 180 pounds of dynamite, is coming to Western to be the new football line coach and track coach. WW Shells on Lake Whatcom By BILL BAKER Western Washington is surrounded by an abundance of lakes; why not take better advantage of them? Crew racing is a sport, that has gained renown in the Pacific Northwest mainly because of our easy access to innumerable waterways. Western owns land on Lake Whatcom that would make an ideal spot for a shell house, and the lake itself would be fine for small college crew racing. Crew racing is an expensive; sport so naturally the question would be: Can it pay for itself? Probably not, but if we could develop boxing and some other activities that would bring a large gate possibly we could afford such things as the crew sport. . If Western Washington ever hopes to attain the student body that it desires it will have to enlarge the sport program. Such things as skiing, boxing, and crew are important determinants to a young man just out of high school. If Western could send out pictorials all over the state of crew racing, water skiing, and other such sports on Lake Whatcom, think of the publicity. Crew is a large gatherer of onlookers at Lake Washington, in Seattle; it would be fine to see the banks of Lake Whatcom lined with crowds watching the blue and white come home.

The script of the play putstwo gangsters in the bucket part of a steam shovelj hanging- over the edge of a cliff. Most of the work on this set has been done by Mark Flanders, speech, technical director of the play, and Jack Rose, senior, stage manager. The actual construction was done in about two hours; the planning took many weeks.SHOVEL PROBLEM Flanders describes the building of the steam shovel as "the biggest problem, withthe biggest reward." He recalls that'in the original reviews- of "High Tor," this set was referred to as the "leading actor." He warns the actors that the shovel could easily steal the show. fe Laurence Brewster,director, has "his to say of the set: "I can't think Iof any other play with such an interesting set. Thescene with the two individuals in the bucket is one pf the funniest in modern dramatic literature." ILuther' Movie Coming Here "Martin Luther," a full length film dealing with the story of the 16th centurymonk who defied excommunication and thev stake in his demand for religious reforms, will â€¢ beshown in Bellingham at the Mt. Baker theatre November 15 through The film was produced in WestGermany by Louis de Rochemont Associates in cooperation with Lutheran Church Production, Inc. The Hcowns, castles, and churches of Western Germany were utilized by the director, Irving Pichel, as anauthentic backdrop for the story. WELL ENDORSED "Martin Luther" has a wide endorsement byProtestant churches of many denominations and by historians. feD^. Keith Murray, WWC Historypartment, stated when interview-with relation to "Martin Luther," that insofar as he knew the picturewas semi-documentary and that it could be recommended for pits background material (authenticscenes of the middle ages in Germany). Dr. Murray further stated, "The actual story is controversial fbut the film is of value to history students because of the realistic |T background." The script is basedupon both Lutheran and Catholic sources and leans heavily on historical documents for its dialogue.The support of museums in Berlin, Mainz, Wiesbaden, and Brettan was enlisted for authenticcostuming and the reconstruction of scenes such as the Diet of Worms and the Diet of Augsburg.The music was furnished by the Munich Philharmonic orchestra with an original score by Mark Lothar ofthe Bavarian State theatre.

Whether the manuscript is published with the name of theauthor, or not, the editor must know who wrote it. Manuscripts submitted anonymously will not beconsidered for publication. In last week's Collegian, appeared a guest editorial, unsigned. This articlecontained several statements which were untrue and obviously the result of a misunderstanding in theBrubeck concert. issue. The statements dealt quite an injustice to our (Western's) administration. Asa member of the group promoting Jhe Bruebeck concert, I hope to clarify the facts in the issue. Uponlearning of the possibility of having a Bruebeck concert, several of us went to work promoting it. Westarted with the BOC where the issue was wisely tabled. We then went to Dr. Haggard, who asked fortime, to- hold a music faculty meeting. The faculty meeting resulted in a decision that an introductionof this type of art into the A L series would definitely be a good thing, but that it should be sponsored by the A L fund. It should be planned on a long-range basis, and it should be preceded by anunderstanding with community. This meant that the students had won their, issue. The administration,not knowing the students' wishes, would work whole-heartedly to bring this type of art to them. - â€¢Unfortunately the Board of Control misunderstood the intentions-of the administration and voted toengage Brubeck themselves. The administration in self defense was forced to voice objection. Isincerely hope that this article will clarify any misunderstandings brought about by the previousunsigned editorial and that the students and administration will proceed to work together inbringing to the college an increasingly better A r L series.â€”Ken Tinkham. Dissatisfaction wasexpressed in last week's Collegian regarding the decision. not to engage the Dave Bruebeck Quartet fora campus appearance on October 29. Further clarification of the reasons behind this decision seemsnecessary. It also appears that this might be an appropriate time to review the purpose and intent of the College Artist and Lecture series. Following are "the main factors involved in the case of DaveBru-beck's appearance: (1) On Wednesday evening, October 21, a group of students called uponDr. Haggard to talk over the possibility of having the Brubeck Quartet give a concert on Thursdayevening, October 29. (2) Mr. Walter and Dr. D'Andrea met with Dr. Haggard on Monday morning todiscuss the affair. (3) At this meeting no objections were raised simply on the grounds that the programwould be in'the nature of a jazz concert. (4) It is the policy of the Music Department and the Artist andLecture Series to bring to the campus, or locally produce, the best in theatre, opera, serious music,dance and folk music that can be; done within our .means. (5) It was felt that there was merit inexpanding the offerings of the Artist and Lecture Series to include programs which would show theadvances being attempted in the "serious jazz" field. (6) Since a jazz concert had never been presented, we believed that careful consideration needed to be given to the manner of its presentation and theorienting of public opinion, both on campus and in the community. Now, a word about the College Artistand Lecture series. The nature and purpose fo this series are precisely what its title indicatesâ€”artists and lecturers for a college audience. It is not a social hour, vaudeville show or jam session.Admittedly this type of program would be more entertaining to some, but entertainment is not the onlyobjective of the Artist and Lecture series. As an integral, part of the general education opportunitiesprovided by this College, the Series is as serious an activity as the classroom in its pursuit ofcultural and intellectual stimulation. The values which lie in such stimulation are not uncommon in theobjectives of a college. Finally, as a fundamental principle, any proposed event should always lieanalyzed in terms of the accepted purposes and procedures of the College. This applies to alldepartments and the student body of the College. Frank L. D'Andrea, chairman Artist and LectureCommittee (Continued on page 6) State to See 64th Birthday November II By ANN MEURER "Theeleventh day of November, 1889, will ever be a memorable epoch in our history. It will be known anddesignated as 'Admission Day.' Its anniversary will be celebrated, and it may very properly be placedamong our legal holidays. On that day the territory of Washington ceased to be, and became the Stateof Washington, the forty-second star in the national constellation, was called into being." The abovestatement is quoted from the inaugural address of Washington's Governor Elisha P. Ferry, November 18, 1889. Statehood movement in Washington began with the very organization of the territory. In April, 1853, the Olympia "Columbian" optimistically forecast Washington's admission as a sovereignmember of the union. In. fact it was predicted to happen within 10 years. However, statehood was to bemet with considerable political opposition in the nation's capitol. Several measures favoringWashington were passed but never acted upon. The Washington legislature commenced in 1867-1868 to submit the question of a constitutional convention to the people, but several trials WWCollegianPage 2 Friday, November 6, 1953 fileside Chat Within the next three weeks we the students at Western will twice have the opportunity to exercise our voice in student government. Our first opportunity will benext Thursday and Friday when t he primary election for the four Board of Control positions will be held.The second opportunity comes two week later when we again go to the polls for the general election. The twelve candidates who receive the greatest number of votes in their respective primaries will have theirnames placed on the ballot for the general election which will be held on November 23 and 24. Ourresponsibility as voters is to become as well informed as possible concerning the qualifications of eachcandidate so that we will cast our vote wisely in choosing t he representatives for our student body.Some of the factors t h at should affect our voting for a candidate are past experience in studentgovernment, personality, and particularly his or her ideas concerning student government. So let'scarefully evaluate all of the candidates and decide upon four who will freely express themselves andstand for the rights of the students.â€” Henry Howe, ASB president.

PLAYERS UPSET One thing seemed to have upset thewhole Viking squad at Tacoma, Western's band. It left at halftime without playing a note. For that matter, they didn't leave the bus which was parked at the south end of the field. Their reason? It was raining toohard. Raining too hard? Did that keep the players in their bus? Did they quit at the half when they werebehind 20-0 and absorbing one Of the school's worst defeats? At that very same time last Saturday theUniversity of Washington band sat in the rainswept Seattle stands and marched in inches of rain athalftime. The primary criticism isn't that the band didi not playâ€”after all the moisture could ruin theirinstrumentsâ€” but because of their seeming lack of loyalty to the team. If criticised they must be, it is for their failure to stay the last half and for leaving the struggling Viking team relatively unsupported. Some members came back at the half of their own* free will, but the loudspeakers informed them theyHOSTINE'S NU-WAY SHOE SHOP 107 West Magnolia Across from Postoffice were to meet with therest of the band in the Student Union building. The football players remember the band's departure andparticularly the CPS announcement calling the few members of the band who were loyal to the teamback to the Union building. Is this a typical indication of Western's school spirit? WHO'S FAVOREDLappenbusch said, "The experts ought to rate us 19 point underdogs against UBC tomorrow night.They scored 19 points against CPS which is 19 more than we got." We Say, "UBC isht that good. The'cripples' are going to win it.'* One noticeable fault of Western supporters this season has beeri theirfailure to stay and sing the Alma Mater at the end of games.

If one knows about musical instruments, theirbehavior habits and treatment, he must know that water is destructive to them. They are not made towithstand too much moisture. Even a piano, when it becomes damp, has to be re-tuned because of theeffect of the humidity in stretching or contracting the wire pegs: Most of the band instruments belongto the students and are quite expensive to replace. For the above reasons, the band did not play. WENT TO BUILDING The band director and members from CPS took the Western band around their newmusic building before the game. Our band was treated very cordially and the relationship is friendlybetween the two bands. I have also heard rumors that our band members did not stay for the game.That is true because some left with the directors Â£$rmisÂ«(| sion after the hal*. There were very fewpeople there. Coach OP rles Lappenbusch told me that the Majority of the people at the game wereother coaches who were watching his straight-line defense. Other spectators were in their cars forshelter from the rain. , I have talked to both Mr. Walter and Lappy, and they are both very sorry the entire thing is beingj^t-ed as it is. Lappy leaves the Hand to Mr. Walter and Mr. Walter leaves the football toLappy. The only thing on Lappy's mind is that he hopes the band will be out for the UBC game. He washastily assured they would be, barring uncontrollable circumstances. Battersby field has coveredbleachers, so in spite of our "Northwest sunshine," there will be music. Lappy and Walter bothunderstand the circumstances and are in agreement on policy with one another. There is enoughpettiness in the world without students of WWC ' displaying theirs. If we can't act as adults and beadults, without each of us trying to pass the buck to the other, then we should not consider ourselvesstudents, but dolts.

Western's defense came back strong hi: the third quarter and rallied around KeithCabe and Willis Ball, who simply refused to be beaten. The Viking line, which snowed so poorly in thefirst half showed signs of life in the second half and all but stopped the Loggers cold for the rest of thegame. CPS scored twice more in t h e last quarter on two intercepted passes which added thirteen more points to an already lopsided score.

This was' the deepest penetration into enemy territory by t h e Viks, but t he drive wasstopped short of the goal and the Loggers took over on ddwns. Coach LappenDusch makes noexcuses for his team's crushing defeat. "They definitely are a very fine ball club, but we certainlyweren't playing up to our usual high standards," Lappy related. "A long auto ride and two inches ofwater on t h e field didn't make for good playing conditions either." The loss of Don Jangaard, who was playing brilliant ball, and Buck Burger, one of the best linemen in the league, broke up our core ofveterans and consequently we have to put in some of our new boys who have not had as muchexperience.

If both Tacoma squads won their respective contests, CPS and Whitworth would be thrown into a tie for first place. In a contest between the oft-beaten University ofBritish Columbia and the Western Vikings, both squads will be striving to stay out of the league cellar.

Lots of good things are coming on the fashion scene in time for Christmaspartying. Among the prettiest party fashions are the new lace dresses. They are a new variety oflace dress according to MADEMOISELLEâ€”spun-sugar dresses as crisp as starched organdy,overlaid on taffeta for a sparkling crystalline effect. O f t en the new lace dresses won't be belted. If you're not a lace girl, then you might choose the new cafe dresses in tapestry fabrics, or maybe you'd likeyour piece of tapestry in a party coat cuffed in mink. If you're in favor of quiet elegance then youll agree that any night's a lovely night for satin: bits of satin that shed radiance wherever they goâ€”a satinbinding on a blouse a satin collar on a suit, a satin dinner blouse, a satin dancing skirt. Satin wornwith wool could very easily make party history. Cafe sweaters are newer than the bejeweled eveningcardigan of last season: They are more daring and almost always black. The new sleeping sweater IsMademoiselle's invention to replace the old fashioned bed jacket. Sleeping sweaters are cut likesweaters or made in sweat-ery fabrics or trimmed Mke their sweater betters. And they'd be fine for adorm party or just for reading in bed! TWEED SHOWS Have you noticed the new styles in tweedaround campus? One co-ed is wearing a navy blue with vari-gated tweed. The skirt was on the pencil-slim type with very simple lines. Another girl is sporting a black-and-white t w e e d â€” mostlyblackâ€”with white sprinkled over it. She mixed the skirt with a black polkadotted with white and a blackcardigan sweater. Very casual for these casual school days. The skirt was slim with tabs buttoned overwhich gave a pocket effect. The student teachers over at Campus school are making styles, too. Oneof the trainees was wearing a white voile blouse with a little lacy shrug sweater. This was combined witha navy blue skirt pleated onto a yoke. To give the patriotic look, she belted the outfit with a bright redcincher. More of the same next week.
