For those who seek beauty and pleasure in height, there will be a trek up Church mountain, and for those who enjoy shopping and sight-seeing, there will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. Emphasis is placed «n the bus trip to Vancouver because tomorrow is the last Saturday before the ruling goes into effect that a certificate of citizenship will be necessary to get back into the United States. Leaving the Bellingham bus depot at 8:30 a. m., the bus will arrive at the Vancouver station at 10:30. Suggested points of interest within walking distance, such as Chinatown, linen shops, and places to eat, will be provided. All sightseeing "buses in "Vancouver"''leave' from the depot. Because there will be room for only thirty-six people, students were urged to sign the bulletin board early this week. Cost is $1.50 for round trip. But for those who are planning to climb to Kulshan cabin over the Fourth of July, the Church mountain trek is a requirement. The trail starts slightly above Glacier and goes onward and upward along a quiet forest path, and through acres of colorful flowers in an alpine meadow until one sits on top of the world with Mount Baker almost in his lap, according to Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation director. The party will meet on the campus in front of Edens hall at 7:00 a. m. tomorrow morning. A trail lunch and a cup are required, plus stout walking shoes, sun glasses, and a light extra sweater. The deadline for signatures on the bulletin board is 2:00 o'clock this afternoon. Cost of the trip is 75 cents.

A worthwhile effort of President Haggard has been realized in bringing this meeting to WWC. We suggest you make this effort worth your while by attending as many of the sessions as possible. It will be your best chance to get acquainted with the prominent educators of the Northwest. • AS A RESULT OF LEGISLATION recently passed, teachers planning to teach in this state in the fall are required to take a Mantoux test for tuberculosis. This action has been praiseworthy and somewhot startling in its outcome. Mantoux tests should not only be limited to teachers in the field but required of students before they enter the training school. Unfortunate, indeed, it would be for a student who had successfully passed four years of college life in preparation for a teaching profession, only to find that he was a carrier of active tuberculosis germs. , Of course, treatment can be had, but it would be much better to find out this information at an earlier time during one's college career. To gather this knowledge at a time when one is about to embark upon a professional career is rather a severe blow. • AFTER A WEEK OF APPREHENSION as to whether the Collegian made itself'clear on its new policy of a more professional basis, we again extend our invitation to teachers and students to write for us about their problems and philosophies. What teaching problems did you solve during the last year? What ones didnt you solve and would like help on? Did you read any good books on teacher aids? What were some of the interesting things about your curriculum? Did your financial set-up hinder your teaching of progressive education? How did you find teacher and public relations in your community? Have you any suggestions to pass along to new teacfiers entering the field? Tell us about them, won't you? • MAY WE ADD OUR CONGRATULATIONS to those already received by the Bellingham Herald for their last Sunday's edition emblematic of "Fifty Years of Progress.' It is a noteworthy achievement showing the forward movement of the cities of Northwest Washington during the last half century. Also outstanding was the history of Western Washington college, written by Eric Phillips, a Collegian staff writer during the last year. • AFTER A YEAR OF CAMPAIGNING back in 1937 to have the sign opposite the College Inn changed from Normal Drive to College Drive, we find, now three years later, that the city fathers have agreed to compromise with the Collegian. The sign now reads: Sehome Hill—Park! 'OurTown' Rocks New York Two seasons ago New York theater audiences went to jsee a show without scenery or properties and kept that show going for a year on Broadway. That production was "Our Town,' which is to be presented by the WWC division of drama for its summer quarter offering, July 11 and 12. In a city of theaters famed for elaborate production standards, this was an unusual event. The thing that held them was the simplicity and beauty of the story itself. Two young people talked to each other from their windows across the alley while the village choir rehearsed down the street and Dr. Gibbs, father of George, read the evening paper downstairs. Three different scenes at the same time would have been practically impos- AMtMCAN / / sible on a stage realistically set with real scenery and furnishings. This novel effect was achieved by having George and Emily on top of step-ladders with Dr. Gibbs at a table to the right of the stage and the choir in the orchestra pit. A daring, expressionistic departure from realism is shown in the third act when Emily, departing from this life in an untimely way, is laid to rest with her family. In the cemetery the dead of the little village sit passively and serenely in rows of chairs while the funeral procession wends its way into the cemetery. There is no attempt at tombstones or weeping willows, yet the audience feels the austerity and simplicity of death and life in rural America of 1904. Technique Classes Learn About Modern Curricula By Lela 'Kaufman Two groups of persons with teaching experience, the T. T. 192 class in curriculum construction in the elementary school and, T. T. 173 class in curriculum construction In the junior high school are working to learn some of the "whys" and hows" of modern curricula. The elementary group of 24 members with Miss Marjorie Dawson formulated certain definite understandings they hoped to attain, then divided into ..committees to work upon these topics. With a few thought - provoking questions raised by Miss Dawson, the class carries on enthusiastic discussion for part of the two-hour daily period. The remaining time is devoted to research work to see what is being done elsewhere. Nine members comprise the junior high group who meet with Miss Elsie Wendllng in her office. Individual conferences, group discussions, reading, studying, and writing fill the two-hour period. Immediate access is thus secured to a large selection of books containing needed material. Each person works with his own particular problem and situation in mind. In both groups a brief historical background is furnished along with considerable study of modern curricula through the United States, such as the Winnetka movement. Some of the educators' catchwords —activity movement, progressive education, integration — are being invested with meaning. Emphasis is placed upon fitting the school to the child rather than the reverse. In short, the aim of both of these advanced classes is not to make a curriculum for some definite setting but to give a clearer idea of all curricular construction. HAGGARD SPEAKS TO SEDRO ROTARIANS With Dr. W. W. Haggard as their main speaker, .the Sedro-Woolley Rotarians entertained with an informal "ladies night" dinner in the city hall last night. Incoming Rotary club presidents and their wives from* Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Oak Harbor and Everett were present. l Newscasters Picked For Summer The Collegian radio studio was the scene of Intense activity last Thursday as some twenty-three students tried their hand at radio announcing. Students read script for over an hour in room 311 while Instructor Victor H. Hoppe and graduate student Leonard Newquist judged in the control room. The winners: Russell Jackson, Francelia Smith, Art Clark, and Shirlee Cratsenberg. Alternates chosen were Jackie Hillis arid Beverly Walker. Victors took the air Thursday evening for the first newscast of the summer season. The permanent rewrite staff was also announced this week. Members are: Irene fyhn, Reda Eaton, Delayne Walton, Shirlee Cratsenberg, Betty Solibakke, Francelia Smith, and Wayne Kotula. The rewrite staff takes the stories off the galleys of the Collegian early Thursday morning and threshes them into shape for the rehearsal at 4:00 o'clock that afternoon. Broadcasts are under the direction of Leonard Newquist and Bill Tiffany, with Dr. Jack Cotton of the speech department and Mrs. Ruth Burnet as faculty advisers. WHITHER TOMORROW By Lorain Montgomery The quotation, "As a man thinketh so is he," is very old. Yet it is one that is still good and usable. If we .want to change a man we begin by working on his thought processes, because that is the thing that precedes the act of a man. That is the foundation for the truth of the quotation. Have you ever heard of any one doing something without thinking? I have. But that is because the thought processes for that particular act were built long, long ago. And did you ever try to change an act that is done without thinking? Where did you begin? You do not go about it in a superficial manner; you go back to the foundation where the act has its roots in the being—to the thought processes. We attempt to discover the original cause of an undesirable thoughtless actact habit, and sometimes we discover a cause that is completely alien to the act itself. The cause may be some unsatisfied desire that finds satisfaction through unusual channels. By satisfying the cause we may in time be able to substitute a desirable for an undesirable act and the habit is said to be broken. Frequently a habit remains long after the original cause has ceased to exist. •• The easiest time to work with a habit is when it is the shortest distance removed from its cause. That is usually in childhood when the thought processes are being built in when the character of the individual is being formed. When then is the most important period of a man's life? It is clear that the thoughts of the past exert an influence on the thought processes of the future. The child is truly "father of the man" and childhood is the most important period. Those who govern and direct this period of growth are "shaping the course of the future man." Consequently, the thoughts of tomorrow's world will be largely determined by the teacher of today, Merrill Likes Children By Lela Kaufman With cheeping Bantie chicks as a background, Miss Anne F. Merrill, kindergarten instructor for the summer, • talked enthusiastically about her avocation. "I'm afraid it's terribly trite to say that my hobby is children, but that's what it is," the blue-eyed quiet-voiced young woman said. "I like to ride horseback. Before I became so busy, that was a hobby but it is nearly impossible to ride in a large city," she stated. Every summer this westem-bred instructor—she is a native of Salt Lake City and a graduate of Stanford—forsakes Pittsburgh where she teaches in the Falk demonstration school to drive to the Pacific coast. "I have driven over most of California, and I love to come up here in the Pacific Northwest,' she declared. "I always spend my summers with my mother. Now we are staying in Dr. Spearin's house which has a lovely view and rose garden." She has vacationed two'years in Seattle and two enjoyable summers in Victoria, which she considers the ideal vacation spot.

That's just what happened last Monday night when a group of our recreationalists were about to spend an evening of singing, salmon, and sunset at The Rocks, a popular campfire site near South Bel-lihgh'am. The aforementioned Mr. S. Lion seems to have lost all sense of direction and planted himself on the sand. What we're getting at is . . . frankly, comrades, the stench was awful. . . . But that didn't stop proceedings . . . no, siree!! Dr. Bond picked up his salmon, seaweed and all and carted it out to the college property at Lakewood where everyone feasted and sniffed sweet sniffs once more. • . Any of you who can spare a few minutes of your time would find it well worth your while to drop in at the recreational headquarters in the Dean of Mens office and chat with genial Chet Ullin. Chet is assisting Miss Weythman with the college recreational activities this summer^ Many of you probably already know of him as a good skier, song leader, and former Viking football luminary, but the accomplishment upon which he prides himself the most is that of being a guide. Chet has not only led numerous hiking parties up Mt. Baker, but also is well acquainted with the trails of the Olympic peninsula. His tales are filled with exciting adventure and what's more they're true . . . I hope. He is a walking Chamber of Commerce for our great Northwest and We should be proud to say that "he is one of us." Hither, thither, and yon . . . We understand through the grapevine that Russ Eyer is planning to come back to school one of these years and win back his pole vault crown. . . . That's swell,- Russ . . . and if there are any more cindersmiths around like you bring 'em around because we can SURE use ' e m . . . . Russ also is co-holder of the conference broad jump record. . . . They say that Captain Mike Baker has the edge in the coming Intramural race with such softball experts as Hurley Boggess, Joe Moses, and Bob Smith in his lineup. . . . We look for Rodland's outfit to be right up there. . . . He's got Steve Turk, Clint McBeath, and Chuck Erickson.. . . Highlight of next week's sports program is the annual softball game with the U. of W. . . . The game is to be played in Seattle, Monday afternoon. . . . The Huskies come here for a return game later on. . . . Joe Medwick or no Joe Medwick, we'll string along with Lippy Leo's Brooklyn Dodgers. . . . They seem to have revived the lost art of "the old college try" . . . Don't say we didn't tell you. . . . So long . . . '' Mountaineers Enjoy Chuckanut Climb With Chet Ullin and Miss Lillian George setting the pace, approximately 106 avid mountaineers from WWC reached the top of Chuckanut ridge last Saturday. Leaving at 3:15 from the PE building, the party was at the top by 6:00 p. m., where they built a fire, prepared coffee, and ate their lunches, For dessert, they had a beautiful sunset, almost made to order, according to those who saw it. One group departed shortly after lunch, led down by Miss George. After sundown, the campfire was heaped high and set ablaze, and over ninety voices, led by Chet Ullin, were joined in singing new songs and having fun in general. Feature of the evening was the vocal efforts of three dogs, Patsy, Dinny, and Penny, inspired by Ullin's attempt to get an echo. Descent down the mountain was made by flashlight... and buglight, with a few brave souls sitting down and sliding on the steepest parts of the trail. Many photographs were taken—Mount Baker was especially clear—and the echo seems to be that the hike was a rousing success.

That both basketball and baseball will be played this summer in intramural sports was the decision made at a meeting of the sports enthusiasts of the college last Monday in the PE building. "* Softball games will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30 p. m. and basketball will be played on Mondays and Wednesdays at the same time. Doublehead-ers will be r un in both sports. Golf enthusiasts who have already entered their names as likely prospects for this summer's golf team are Clint McBeath, Bob Smith, Hardy, Tucker, and Erickson. The latter three were members of this year's WINKO champs. Anyone else interested in playing should see Sam Carver as soon as possible. Teams entered in basketball are Jim Bever's Midgets, Lapinski's Joe- Joes, Methany's Red Heads, Smith's GiantSy and Joe Moses' Moochers. Teams entered in softball are Mike Baker's Arabians, Rodland's Eskimos, Nurmi's Finns, and Weber's Turks. These teams are not . final and anyone wishing to play may see one of the captains and add his name to that team. WWC SOFTBALLERS MEET UNIVERSITY MONDAY Ancient summer rivals will square it off again, when a picked all-star WWC softball team meets the University of Washington Monday afternoon at Seattle. A return game will be held on t he home lot Friday, July 12. The WWC team will be picked from men signed for intramural games. Eleven men are expected to make the trip. No basketball schedule between the two schools has been arranged as yet. The court contests will probably be played during the second term. Enjoy the Summer.

Three things will be featured during the trip—good food, interesting short trips from Kulshan cabin, and t h e summit t r ip lead by C. Appleton (Happy) Fisher. Highlighting the trek will be the excellent photographic opportunities, and t h e acres of alpine flowers now a t the height of their beauty. Summer skis will be taken by some students, for three days of fine skiing. Wednesday, July 3, t h e work crew will hike in to the cabin to cut wood and prepare the place for the group. Thursday, July 4, the main party will leave the P. E. building at 7:00 a. m. in private cars, individuals bringing their own trail lunch for that day. They will reach the cabin Thursday evening. A pack train, led by Mr. Baker, an experienced packer from Colorado, will bring in food and personal dunnage. Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation leader, counsels hikers to limit their amount of dunnage, since each person will have to carry his own dunnage out. There are blankets and accomodations for fifty people at the cabin. Fisher Guides : The party will climb up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, under Fisher's guidance, which will give them practice in snow work in .both climbing up and sliding down, and will give Fisher an opportunity to study snow conditions on the mountain. Saturday morning, those making the summit climb will- breakfast early and leave the cabin by daylight, led by Fisher and assisted by Chet Ullin. Organized hikes to the glacier or through the meadows will be taken by those remaining at the cabin. A whopping breakfast will be served Sunday morning, with the whole party leaving the cabin about 11:00; for the return trip home. Haggard Signs First person to make an enthusiastic reservation for this trip was Dr. W. W. Haggard, who signed up gt; with Miss Weythman last May. Other faculty members who will be present include Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Miss Ruth Melendy, Miss Virginia Hawke, Herbert Ruckmick, Lyle Brewer, and Miss Weythman. Cost of t h e t r ip is $5.00. People who enjoy the colorful out-of-doors in its highest beauty, campfire companionship, and good hiking are urged to' sign up.

In this column I am going to attempt to bring out Hie most important facts and trends. Many of these observations and opinions are my own, so take them for what you think they are worth. This week has seen the passing from the scene of two of the most infamous men in history. These men are Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini. A d o l p h Hitler, der Fuehrer, came to power in 1933 as Chancellor of Germany. In the following years he gradually strengthened his power until he plunged the world into a war of catastrophic magnitude in 1939. In 1939, 1940, and 1941, he overran all of Europe execept the valiant little island of Great Britain and the sprawling Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In the summer of 1941, Hitler made the mistake that led to the downfall of the German Reich. The mistake of invading the U. S. S. R. From that time on his days were numbered. Gradually the tide was reversed until now the G.l/s have joined the Russians in several places along the Elbe, and Adolf Hitler is reported to have been killed fighting in Berlin. This is according to the Hamburg radio. Possibly the reported death of Hitler is to mask his escape while the German High Command hopes that the successor to Hitler, Admiral Karl Doenitz, will be able to get easier terms of peace from the Allies by trying to show that the Nazis have been removed. I do not think this will work. • - Also gone from the scene of international conflict is the pathetic figure of Benito Mussolini, who was shot to death along with his mistress and seventeen other high ranking Fascists. II Duce came to power much earlier than der Fuehrer, 1922 to be exact. At the head of several hundred ragged Black Shirts, Benito marched on Rome and was "openly welcomed by the starving, destitute Italians, who would accept anything that would give them food and jobs. . . For many years Mussolini rode the waves of glory, until he joined his partner in crime, Adolph Hitler, in the war. From that.time on Italy was on the way down until today his dream of Mare Nostrum has been destroyed, the empire is gone, Italy is completely occupied and the once great dictator is dead. Let this be a lesson to democracy in the future, to clean out "sore spots before they start to fester. Turning from death and destruction we look to San Francis- (Continued on Page Three) Spring Fever Strikes Campus; Daydreams Reign Supreme With spring blooming out in its entirety these past few days, familiar sites can be thoroughly enjoyed from the now-deserted libe.

Kuder Appointed Dr. Merle F. Kuder, WWC registrar, author of "Planning Your Education" was recently appointed to the steering committee of the Western Washington caravan, to publish a manual of information to be distributed to prospective college students in Western Washington and Oregon colleges and universities. Gardiner Wins Top AWS Position Pat Gardiner, sophomore, was elected to lead AWS for 1945-46 in the regular student assembly last Friday. Pat has been active in talent shows, belongs to Valkyrie, Board of Control, has acted this year as AWS social chairman and has been a Prom Princess for two years. O t h e r administrative officers elected were Joan Haggard, soph, as vice-president; Z e l m a Blekkink, frosh, as secretary; and Martha Monoghan, f r o s h , as treasurer. These coeds will take office next fall quarter. Campus Day Celebration Set; Norsemen's Beards Growing By CATHERINE ANDERSON A flashy stocking dance, featuring the Hard Time theme of Campus Day, will top off the festivities of this year's school skipping. The dance will begin at eight o'clock, and will include presentation of prizes for the best skits, the best beards, and the flashiest, loudest pair of socks on the floor. The~Hard Time theme will be followed at the dance, and signs and deco^ rations will bring out this point. Times will be so tough that refreshments will be cokes and cokes only. However, the prizes will be substantial and well-deserved- Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, co-chairmen of Campus Day, have stated that absolutely no bobby pins, hair pins, ribbons, clips, rubber bands, or toasters shall be worn in the girls' hair the day before Campus Day. This point is emphasized in every announcement. Absolutely nothing shall J»e worn in the hair. For the rest of their costume, students are advised to dress in their oldest and saddest outfits, and men are to wear their hair Ish-Ka-bibble style, and beards of all lengths, colors, and descriptions will also be worn. Students may invite guests to the Campus Day dance, but there must be one college student per couple. Prizes will be given at intermission, and the dance will end at 10:30 or 11- And as for those socks! Polka' dots, loud stripes, circles, bows on. them, plaids, and various patterns will be worn, and according to dance chairman Herb Witt, "the louder the better." Awards will be given to both men and women for the most eye-filling stockings. Can you borrow a pair of Pa's? Convention Chooses Prexy Candidates Shomshak, Dahlgren Elaine Dahlgren and June Shomshak were chosen by the nominating convention last Tuesday as candidates for Associated Student Body President. The list of nominees before the convention included Bob DePastel and Beverly McNally. Running for vice-president are Beverly McNally and Margaret Rut-ledge. Elaine Dahlgren is a sophomore from Mount Vernon. One of this years' Prom Princesses, Elaine is a member of Alkisiah, ACE, and a Valkyrie girl. June Shomshak is a junior from Sedro-Woolley, chairman of War Activities, Blue Triangle Cabinet member, Vice-President of Vanadis Bragi and a member of Valkyrie. Those elected to run for four quarter man or woman were Marilyn Booras and Gene Sivertson; three quarter woman, Nell Kosola, Virginia Pendleton; and three-quarter man or woman, Joan Haggard, Bob DePastel. Elections will be held Wednesday, May 16. Year's Events Now Printed Pictures and copy are now in for the Newsletter, "which will be mailed to all former students now in the service. The . Newsletter, published by the Collegian staff, is financed jointly by Valkyrie, Collegian, Klip-sun and money which was donated by students at the Publications Prom. The single sheet, similar to last years', will be written like a letter, with pictures to illustrate certain points. Topics will include the year's recreation and activities including the Prom, Winter Show, and sports. Commencement Week Plans Include Many Social and Serious Events Commencement week plans at WWC, June 6 to Friday, June 8, are being made by a committee headed by Miss Piatt of the Science department. ALUMNI BANQUET Saturday, June 2, at 6 p. m., the first time since June 6, 1942, the graduating class will be guests of the school at an alumni banquet in Edens Hall. BACCALAUREATE SERVICE AND PRESDDENT'S TEA Mr. Nils Bosen and his choir of girls' voices will sing at the Baccalaureate service to be held in the auditorium of WWC, Sunday, June 3, at 4 p. m. In honor of the speaker, the Rev. Mr. E. D. Braden, D. D., pastor Ryersoh.United Church, Vancouver, B. C, the faculty and graduating class and their families will be served tea in the home of President Haggard at 5 p. m. CLASS DAY EXERCISES The program, of Class Day, Tuesday, June 5, at 11 a. m., is being planned by a committee headed by Dr. Hicks of the English department of WWC. The cup which was presented to Ann Easterbrooks by the Scholarship Society for being the most outstanding student in the freshman class, 1944, will be presented by her to the one adjudged the most outstanding freshman of 1945. RECEPTION A reception for the graduating class and their families will be held in the Blue Room of Edens Hall, Thursday, June, at 8:30 p. m. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES George Herbert Smith, President, Willamette University, Salem, Oregon, will speak at Commencement exercises, in the auditorium of WWC, Friday, June 8, at 10 a. in. Following the example of last year the graduates will march over the knoll instead of around it as was the custom prior to 1944. Music for, the occasion will be furnished by an orchestra which is being organized by Mr. Donald Bushell of the music department of WWC. Twenty Seniors Visit Campus Twenty seniors from Bremerton High School, accompanied by Miss Edna Frasier, ' graduate of WWC, will be on the campus May 7 and-6. The visit is the culmination of a year's co-operative study . between the ' college and the Bremerton schools, which is attempting a guidance program to interest more highi school students in the teaching profession. The idea was developed by Don Patterson, assistant superintendent of schools at Bremerton, also . a WWC graduate. Mrs. Waneta Catey and Miss Sylva Nicol of the Department of Student Teaching, have met with these students in Bremerton on different occasions. They are all seniors who have served, at various times, as substitute teachers in class rooms under supervision. The schedule for the two-day visit to the campus was planned by Dr. Paul Grim and Miss Lorraine Powers. The group will arrive shortly after noon Monday, and AWS will be hostess Monday afternoon; a tea and tour of the campus buildings is planned, followed by a dinner at Edens Hall and swimming and recreation hour in the gym. A social hour at Edens Hall will finish the day. Tuesday will be spent entirely in the Campus Schools, visiting the buildings and observing classes. The visit will end after a lunch at Edens Hall. Van Aver Writes Albert Van Aver, of the English department, has just received word from the editor of Educational Administration and supervision that . his article, "The Function of Literature After the War" has been accepted for publication and will appear in an early issue. This article is a sequel to an earlier article written by Mr. Van Aver, called "The Study of Literature During the War," originally delivered as a radio address on this campus. ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 May 4 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, Ma/ 4, 1945 ESTABLISHED 1899 Published Every Friday, Except During . the month of September, by the Associated Students.

RUTH BURNET Pub. Adviser Spring Hits WWC Campus; Students Relax and Burn O^iiciiali With the unconditional surrender of German troops in Italy, the European battle comes closer to the finish line. Even as I write this copy the end steadily approaches. The news these past days has been the best we have heard since the war began, but the time is still distant when our celebration can be complete. WATCH THE BEARDS GO BY Now that the beards are growing, the ration points are collected and the skits are being rehearsed, we are all anxiously awaiting the traditional Campus Day. With a prayer for sunshine the student body of WWC is planning its ensembles for next Tuesday. Let's all give our full support to the committees who are working hard to make Campus Day a big success. ELECTION TIME We have the most important election of the year coming up very soon. It is up to us to choose the very best leaders to guide us through 1945-46. Our student body president is the chosen representative of the students of WWC. In order to elect the one who will best fill the position it is the responsibility of every student to vote in the election to be held May 16. Don't forget that date. And don't underestimate the desirability of getting good people to fill the other vacant offices which are being filled this spring. For the girls, the WRA election is coming up soon and for the men, the Norsemen election is a coming attraction. In every election take a little time to think about the nominees and then make sure you cast your ballot. During the past several years too many people have carelessly ignored the polls, yet if this privilege were taken from them they would certainly put up a few loud protests. We're fighting to keep what we have, so show that you want to keep your democracy. YOU MAKE IT We Print The News, You Make It. That has always been and still is the motto of the WWCol-legian. Despite that fact and despite the fact that newspapers have always had as their chief objective the printing of news material, complaints still come rolling in'about the source of our news. Our staff members have, often overheard a group of students criticizing the sheet because of too much faculty news and too little students news. But our ques- Mosher Recalls Poem Choices The time has come to speak of poetry. I know you'll probably stop right here, but do you know why you dislike poetry? Even though you are not one who reads poetry just for the aesthetic value, there is some sort of verse that will appeal if you will give it half a chance. In most cases it is ignorance that influences your dislike. For amusement and humor try reading Ogden Nash . . . For instance . . . "A girl who is bespectacled She may not get her necktacled; But safety pins and bassinets Awaits the girl who fassinets." Modern poetry is good and often fills the need the best, but the old sentimental poets really have something. Who can imitate Edgar Allen Poe's "Bells" . . . . . . To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells." Christopher Marlowe for sentimentality . . . "Come live with me and be my love . . . " Keats . . . ". . . I'll smoothly steer My little boat, for many quiet hours, With streams that deepen freshly with bowers." Wordsworth . . . "A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, smiles." The list of wonderful bits of verse could go on for miles but that is where the pleasure is found, in discovering a bit of well known new poetry that says what you feel better than any prose could possibly do. Don't take my word for it or anyone else's. Speak for yourself! tion is., "What have the freshmen done lately to make news, what have the sophomores done,, and what has the junior-senior class done that should appear in print?" With the clubs it is the same story except in occasional instances where a tea or a drive for some cause steps into the news. Unless the- students are active there is nothing for us to report, so the news you see in your weekly is what you make it. Another thing—it is impossible to include everyone's name in every edition, which we know is one of the greatest causes for dissatisfaction. But until you make the news, we can't report it. It is all up to you. ym Gonlessin Ya' wanta fashion foto? Wanta know what's the latest? Well, right now the vogue has turned to red. Tomorrow, though, it is very apt to be tan. Joan Martinson has invested in a two-tone job that has everyone wondering just what she is thinking of. In case you are wondering, those gals at Edens just haven't learned the art of sunbathing. Campus benches and the tennis court are literally swarming with students who just can't get enough of Old Sol's remedy. Frosh Are Some Good; Maybe!! By WALT BAKER Little ones, big ones, short and tall. Standing 'gainst the main hall walls. Floppy coats, turned-up brogues. Why, don't they look like rogues? Who? . . . The Frosh. In Hospice, Edens and even Daniels, Everywhere they're in a frenzy, They gesticulate, arguing with much air. Boy, they, sure look debonaire! Who? . . . The Frosh. By golly things would sure be drear About this time every year, If no one new around these walls Failed to show up at all. Cuess we need them, Guess We'd miss them, Who? . . . The Frosh. Gruesome Sights Anticipated Soon Have you seen the weird beards? Well, Campus Day is "whisking" upon us . . . only four more slopping days 'til the day we don our oldest togs, sans make up, with a Fiji Island hair-do, or oldest clothes -plus bristly beards. George Jurgens has a head start at beard growing. He never shaves until his whiskers scratch his ears, and Campus Day caught him in the final stages. I want to warn you By CHAR Good morning- Good Moaning ; Good Mourning That's how it is here at WWC . . . Some love to see their names ia print; others groan, and my mother will be mourning if a few of yrase guys carry out those threats. Only the other day, Pat Cooper tried to «b«ot me with a Kay Gun, but it wasn't rayning that day so it wouldn't g» •ff. —•— First honors go to JoAnn and Cookie Oh lookie lookie lookie . . . and not bad, either! —•— Ann E. wants to know a few things about the Norsemen's cruise.

Gene H. in the Co-op with some "mocs" from Alaska, and Al! Peg and Daisie, pleased as spiked punch about their cut off sweaters. (Peg does 'em two for 25c.)

And Helen couldn't even blush through that sunburn. Audreye with grass on her coat Friday, early in the a. m. Girls bemoaning the fact that Chris's brother is already taken. Becky Terry's brother was here, too. Jack Danley out looking for flowers. Roy reports that no one has said anything out of line at Daniels. —•— OPTIMISM No studies nor worries, How happy we'll be!

Think of where you could go. About 50 per cent would make a tour of the service camps of the country, the fellows would probably buzz around and. scare H out. of the faculty,. Betty Dodge would head back east. Harriett Clow would probably get as far as Mount Vernon and throw the darned thing away, and Mr. Dack would have the carpet in shreds in nothing flat tearing around to see all of his "Boys". Dale Burkluhd would challenge Superman to a race, and Gerry (Barefeet) Woodward would head straight for Dogpatch. —•— Well, if you're still here, you can go practice for the Pie Eating Contest.

Neither had I, until this morning. It could mean any number of things; which one it does, I do not know. It may refer to tennis rackets, which are associated with springtime. On the other hand, it may imply the guff, noise, and racket in this column. It may, however, indicate the slang use of racket— a dodge or trick; an imposture. Now we are getting somewhere, but where? —•— BEARDS BLOSSOM Hooray! The men of WWC are going to give forth with beards; the only thing left at which they excel the coeds. For a week the men will be men and demonstrate their masculinity with growths of bristles at one extreme and eider down at the other. Dale"Burklund's thick, black beard is t h e most potential winner. If Roger Nelson can cultivate a slight growth, he will probably have the blondest beard. The golf enthusiasts have been getting in a f ew practice licks for the coining golf tournament. Tis rumored that Allen Thon almost broke a hundred. Seven men have now signed up for the tournament. Wark, Sivertson, Thon, Burklund, Riddle, Pavlicek, and some character called Currie have all affixed their John Henries. Match play gets underway on the seventh. This warm weather has brought out the Hospice boys; their tennis tourney is going full tilt. Nelson will keep you informed of results. —•— VIKS DARKHORSE Intercollegiate sports competition has returned to WWC with a bang. The Vikings are the darkhorse in the coming Tri-Modern Dance Meet with EWC and CWC. The Viks are after the Winco title this year. The last time the p e w t e r cup rested in our hallowed halls was 1942 when the team pictured won the t i t l e . Coach Muffly is making no predictions, but she d i d say, "We have a chance." Pat Cooper is the standout in the field events on this year's team and Marilyn Booras leads in the sprints. —•— A sports event I will remember for a long time is a rugby match I witnessed between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. More interetsing than the game itself was the crowd reaction to the contest. There was no organized cheering as we have at football games. In fact, by comparison, there was no cheering to amount to anything at all. When the ball was dropped between the two lines at the start of the game, one player cleverly worked the ball back to his teammates with his feet and received a round of handclapping from the crowd and exclamations of "Well heeled ball!" If a team executed a play well they were praised by spectators of both sides with "Well played, varsity!" or "Good play, Oxford!" When a player pulled an out and out boner he was applauded, nevertheless, and the spectators said, "Jolly good effort." —•— AMERICANS PLAY What a contrast was an exhibition American football game between an air corps team and a ground force team that was held the same day. The American spectators were organized by cheerleaders into too madly hysterical groups that gave forth with bloodthirsty yells such as "Give them the axe," with its implications of mayhem. A player who pulled a boner received hoots and hollers of derision. All sorts of derogatory remarks were directed at the referee when he placed a penalty on a team. I t was just like a college football game in the States. As th game progressed, enthusiasm mounted to a high pitch and the yelling increased. An Englishman summed up the reaction of his people to the game when he saicl to me, "I say, I'm afraid there is going to be trouble." —•— POOR CUNDER Our boy, Cunder Haegg, is having a rough time in the United States, came in a slow fourth in the Penn Relays last Week. That transportation he is awaiting had better materialize rapidly. —•— News has arrived of the defeat of Pavlicek's seventh grade track team by Emie Ludwick's Lynden seventh graders. Ludwick's luminaries won the meet 23 to 1. Pavy claims his team would have made a better showing if they had had more practice. Hal Arnasoh, the Bellingham High athlete, was played up by the Seattle P.-I. this week for his pitching ability. He is an outstanding prospect for organized baseball. Arhason is a versatile fellow. Besides being an outstanding baseball player, Arnason is an all-state basketball player, is an all-Cross State football end, is ASB president at Bellingham High, and is on the honor roll.

He took second place in the half mile in both the city and county meets. He has the ability, and with a little more self confidence should start romping in first. These boys and the rest of the Campus school squad will get a real test of their ability in the coming district meet. Good luck, boys! —•— More good news for football fans . . . Oregon State College has joined Idaho and WSC in announcing their intention to resume the gridiron sport this fall. Graduate Manager Percy Locey stated that OSC would "definitely" field a football eleven. Oregon and Montana are the only holdouts left in the Northern Division Coast conference. —•— Have you noticed how this column wanders and wanders more each week? Well, you would have noticed if. you would read it. Putting out enough guff 'n stuff each week to fill up space gets to be more and more of a chore as the weather gets nicer. It is becoming difficult to keep my mind on writing a column. My thoughts are of other things. (And Pm only three and a half years old!) In other words, spring fever has hit ye olde scribe. Watch out below, here comes one used typewriter! Hospice Tournament more norse notes Near Completion Hospice Inn tennis tournament is now in full swing. The racket swingers have been beating the ball all over the courts this past week and expect to finish the tournament possibly by Monday. The way the tourney was designed, many of the players drew byes for the first round. Tom Riddle defeated Lloyd Jones in a first round match, 6-3, 6-2. Riddle then went onjto defeat Bob Myers, 6-0, 6-1, putting him in the semi-finals against Dale Burklund. Burklund got the semi-finals by a match with Jack Danley, 3-6, C-0, 6-1. Riddle and Burklund will play a match today to determine which one will go on to the finals. In the other section of the tourney, George Jurgens is in the semifinals via a bye in the first round and a forfeit from Jack Graham. A first round match between Walt Baker and Herb Witt will be played off today, and the victor of that match will meet Bob Pavlicek. The winner of the match with Pavlicek will go on to the semi-finals wilh Jurgens as opponent. (Continued from Page One) centered for security from future wars. The 46 nations gathered at San Francisco hope to bring about an organization that will keep the peace. Most of the people of the nation want such an organization, but there are many idealists who will want a perfect plan to come from the conference or none at all. After the last war there were many such people who rejected the League of Nations because it was not perfect, and as a result they chose the other course which lead' to anarchy, chaos, and another war. The same thing can happen again after this war if we are not careful to learn from past lessons. In next week's column there will be more on the San Francisco conference, and I hope to have a Students Sucia Island Bound Sunday, May 13, men of WWC and their guests will embark on the annual Norsemen's cruise.

Weather permitting, a few brave souls may take along their swimming suits and have a cool dip in the salty brine. Tickets for the cruise will be on sale early next week, and Wednesday has been set as the deadline for purchasing them. Details may be obtained from Chairman Borchers, but an afternoon of leisure and fun-making is in store for all who make the trip. Softball Enthusiasts Turning Out Now The girls have also been turning out to the call of spring this last -week. Barbara Caldwell, Bev. Morgan, Iris Bowden and many others can be seen out throwing the soft ball around. Gathering a few iame muscles on the courts have been Marilyn Booras, Babs teHennepe, H e l e n Boyer, Ethel Martinson and Mavis Danley.

I'm a PANSY, and I'm proud of it!" Naturally I was puzzled at this coming from the hedge right across from Hospice, so I looked to see who it was, and sure enough, there was a tall, dark, handsome . . . pansy. Pretty soon a chorus of pansies were just shouting to be taken from their hiding places, so out trooped a whole slew of Edens Hall Prosh, who began dashing madly around the dew bedecked, or just plain wet, campus in search of pansies, for each year the Uppers give the Lowers (speaking of classmen, not berths or teeth) a May Day Breakfast and Pansy Hunt. And the frosh return the good will by giving the grads a breakfast which Miss Powers is always late to. But back to my story! Edens is going to be different this year. Instead of the usual pansies there will be all sorts of pansies that Miss Piatt has had her science class grow. Now available are the talking Pansola, a cross between a phonograph and a pansy, and also a Pansetta, crossed with a Poinsettia for early blooming. The tiny ones are the Pansitas and Pan-sitos, Mexican ones that Donald Duck brought back on his magic rug. The last, loveliest, and livilest are the chim-pansys, which have exceptional expressions on their velvety faces. If you are interested in growing pansies, just enroll in Science 999.

It seems Lucille must have been a bad girl or something cause she got spanked good and proper this week by a certain blonde man about the campus. What was that for, Lucille? Another interesting but not very consistent comment that was overheard at the same time was "It's because I like to hold you." ENTJFF SAID! ! ! THE INNER SANCTUM Did you see the spread that Hospice Inn had last week? Well, we are going to try and keep up the good work. We know the women are just dying to find out what is going on in the InnerSanctum. Hospice was left rather vacant last week-end. A good share of the men, including Dale Burklund, Bob Myers, George Jurgens and Jack Danley packed up all of their dirty clothes and took off for home. The first match of the House Tennis Tournament was played Monday night between Lloyd Jones and Tom Riddle, with Tom winning 6-2, 6-1. The grudge match of the tournament will be played Friday evening between Ping Pong Pavy and Herb Witt. They say they are going to charge 10 cents per person, but sneak around to the back gate and Jack Graham will see that you get in for a nickle. Of course, this is strictly off the record, so don't spread it around. Coach Pavy has been looking rather blue for the past week. The cause: the Lynden team of a former WWC man, Ernie Ludwick, beat Pavy's seventh grade team from the Campus school, 23 to 1. Is Hospice ever getting swanky, or is it? We now have a Rose Room. Pavlicek and Jurgens have been doing, what they call interior decorating. They have big sheets of red paper on their desks and when the light hits it, WOW! It makes you dizzy to walk by so you can imagine what it is like living there. Well, my pen is going dry and my eyelids are getting heavy so I will close my little book and turn in for another night. Yes, another day of rest. Bye now. ^ FLASH— Latest reports show that the old clothes drive sponsored by Blue Triangle pulled in quite a haul.

' The Klipsun epitomizes all that is best .in Normal School life. It is a record of achievement. Hundreds will keep and cherish it as a memorial of some of the happiest and finest days of their life. Everyone who has a hand in the task wants this year's book to be a monumental achievement, surpassing all previous attempts—a bood that, both in appearance and contents, all subsequent generations of students may strive in vain to equal. Two hundred fifty literary and illustrated pages bound in a beautiful blue Castillian. cover, an artistic and living record of Normal activities for 1922-23—will be this year's Klipsun. Eggert Burns and Robert Caulkins, Editor and Associate respectively, may never be literary genuises but they undoubtedly will put out a Year Book that will surpass both in size and quality any Annual ever put out by the Bellingham Normal. The Klipsun is put out. not in the interest of any individual nor any certain group of individuals but for the good of all the students of this school. As has been iterated and reiterated through the columns of this paper, the publishing of the Klipsun is a costly undertaking. Every student must put his HORACE RAHSKOPF, Debate Coach.

S-STORY TELLERS P DEBATE TEAM IS READY TO START For the past two weeks, members of the Leowyrhta or Story Telling Club have contributed their talent to eight programs. They have told stories to P. T. A. meetings, local and also those of near-by communities and assisted at several assemblies and missionary meetings. From all reports the girls are being enthusiastically received, and orders for programs are continuing to come in. Among other recent engagements they have filled are entertainments at Harmony, Lawrence, Sehome school, Washington school and a Presbyterian tea at the home.of Mrs. E. T. Mathes. The debate teams are being rapidly brought into shape for the Inter- Normal Triangular debate which takes place on the evening of Thursday, March 1. This debate has been an annual event between the three Normal schools of the state, since the offering of the Guy S. Allison cup by a Bellingham alumnus, two years ago. According to the rules of the contest the school which wins the cup for three successive years may claim permanent ownership. For the past two years Cheney has secured the judges decision; so the coming debate will decide whether or not the Allison cup will find a permanent home in her halls. In the debates this year, the affirmative team in every school will debate at home and the negative team will travel. The Bellingham negative team will go to Cheney; Cheney's negative EDITOR ELECTED FOR THE Mrs. Carl Irish, who has served as editor of the Messenger for the past quarter, was again selected for that position. Monday by the Board of Control at their regular meeting, her re-election being based upon efficient service during her previous incumbency. The choice of a trained editor for a second term is a decided step toward a better type of school paper, a demand for which has been insistently expressed by students and faculty. B. S. N. S.

On Friday, February 23, students of the Normal will be given an opportunity to view the projects completed this quarter by students of the Industrial Are department. These projects will be on exhibit in room 108. BLUE AND WHITE BRING BACK THE STATE TITLE The results of the four games played in the Eastern part of the state during the past week, gave to the Bellingham Normal the much coveted title of Champions of the Washington Normals. The eastern trip was made by Coach Carver and eight players, the group leaving on Monday morning and returning Sunday. The first two games were played at Ellensburg, Bellingham winning the first game 26 to 22 and losing the second game 27 to 31. The third game was played at Cheney with the Cheney Normal, the final score being 33 to 27 in favor of Carver's men. It was the result of this game that the Bellingham fans so patiently awaited, as on the result hinged the Blue and White's chances for the state title. The fourth game "was pin yed with Spokane College, with a resulting score of 17 to 39 in favor of Spokane College. The three games in which the Blue and White hoopsters had participated required all their pep and consequently they could not handle Spokane college as they had wished. The student body as well as the many Bellingham followers of the game, have nothing but praise for Carver and his team. The games played this season and the scores are as follows: Normal, 50; Edison, 15 Normal, 74; Ferndale, 12. Normal. 34; Fairhaven, 17. Normal 48: Y. M. C. A., 23. Normal, 44; Blaine H. S., 25.

The Bellingham team which goes to Cheney, consists of Rebecca Arnell, Frank D. Henderson, and Charles L. Simon son. They will be accompanied by Mr. Rahskopf, debate coach, and Miss Mabel Shuey.

D. T. B. S. N. S. The fresh spring breezes were blowing through the open windows of the school room, and George Washington was the momentous question in hand. "Why do you think George Washington was the first man?" asked the teacher. "Because he was 'first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen'." Another boy then i-aised his hand. "Well, Johnny,- who do you think was the first man?" said the teacher. "Don't know his name," answered Johnny, "but I know George Washington was not the first man, 'cause my history says he married a widow, so there must have been a man ahead of him." KLIPSUN DRIVE IS STILL ON; MANY HAVE SIGNED UP. (Continued from Page One) or her shoulder to the wheel and push with all the strength of the price of one Klipsun, $2.50. OLIVER LNUERSOLL, Business Manager. Miss Keeler Boosts Klipsun. "All live, energetic, enthusiastic, and active students should support all worthwhile school activities," said Miss Keeler recently. "The Klipsun is certainly worth while and I cannot imagine any student leaving this school without one." Mr. Klemme Wo Dead Wire. •'This year's. Klipsun will be my eight-tenth," said Mr. Klemme. "I have saved one every year and I certainly do not regret it." Mr. Bond "Signs Up." "Of course I'll sign up for a iKlipsun," and Mr. Bond had affixed his signature and was off. Mr. Kibbe Values Klipsun. "I am keeping a library of Klipsuns," said Mr. Kibbe. "I value them very highly, and have tried to keep one of each issue." B. S. N. S. THAT SERIOUS LOOK. When you see a lad with a serious look, With a face that's grave and stern, Who acts as if he'd swallowed a book, In his great desire to learn, Don't form an opinion on the spot, As he's probably not to blame. His stack of hots, perhaps came late, And his stomach is playing a game. His mush he hid in no seconds flat, And the Java he took on the fly; So the balance of the day he wanders about, With a serious look and a sigh. . The teacher says, as he passes along, "What a serious lad, that boy, He's surely making some mother glad, Some children are really a joy." His mother says, at home that night. "You're working too hard, I'm afraid, Don't try to do all of your work in a day, To over-work, never has paid. I suggest that you let up a- bit, Go take in a movie or two. 'Twill help to remove that serious look. You act so down-hearted and blue." "Dear mother,' says he, "my guess is you're right, ' The Prof, says, Tm carrying a load.'" But after the show, as a midnight repast, He fills up on pie a-la-mode, So when you gaze on the serious look, Don't judge, but leave just a question, For the chances are. that the look you see, Is the result of more indigestion. B. S. N. S.- A "Billet-Doux." She was a winsome country lass, So William on a brief vacation, The time more pleasantly to pass, Essayed flirtation. And while they strolled in twilight dim, As near the time of parting drew, Asked if she would have from him A "billet-doux." Now this simple maid of French knew naught, But doubting not 'twas something nice, Shyly she lifted her pretty head Her rosy lips together drew and coyly said, "Yes, Billy—do," ~ - - And William did.

The game was interesting but one-sided; the Alley Gang team winning from the Edens Hall team by a score of 46 to 13. Remarkable team work was shown in the winning team. The guards took advantage of every opportunity to check the ball, and the forwards seemed to merely look at the ball to make a basket. The Edens Hall team was one chosen from girls who live in Edens Hall. Their representatives were: Ethel Dow and Pearl Whitmore; guards, liable Hickson and Julia Whitmore; forwards, Molly Curtis and Emma Coffman; and one substitute, Sarah Murphy. The Alley Gang team was a picked up team of some of the best basketball players of the Normal. The team was composed of: centers, Carla La Vign and Beatrice Thomas; guards, Marjorie Morrison and Ruth Gill; forwards, Agnes Tweit and Violet Mitcliam, and one substitute, Bernice Judson. B. S. N. S. Prize Awaided. Softly and gracefully they glided over the floor, stepping thru the intracacies of the fox trot. They seemed to float thru the mystic ether impelled by the rythmic throb of the music. The sleek-haired gentleman glanced confidently over the moving crowd, then down at his comely partner. Demurely she smiled back at him. All eyes were upon the pair. Who could they be? Was this some famous royal pair escaped by devious paths from the clutches of the raving reds of Russia? Could it be two at whose beck and call the most graceful dancers of an emipre once performed, now forced to entertain others for a mere pittance? No, such was not the case. Could it not then be two famous danssants stopping for a pleasant moment at the Bellingham Normal? Might not that flashing eye, those graceful movements belong to Mische Itoe himself? Might not the lithe lady be none other than the- one and only Madame Pavola ? No, it was none of these, it was actually Bill McNeil and Bee Anderson, showing the grace and form which won for them the prize trot Friday. The prize trot was such a success that it has been decided to continue it. The latest thing the social committee is considering is a prize for the whole quarter. A realty worth-whle reward will be given, the opinion so far favoring a watch. Position, grace, appearance, and general conduct on the dance floor will be the deciding factors. Bill and Bee have the inside track now, so the other Valentinos and Irene Castles will have to start early and avoid the rush. NORMAL GROCERY We Cater to Normal Student Trade.

Now the clothes I had to wear Would have frightened off a bear, You can's- blame me that I wished to run For a lot of stick black And some rags dropped on your back Is bad enough for anyone. You just sit and sing and laugh While you fearfully must chaff As the audience just looks and smiles And you feel the shivers slide Along your spine inside And you wish for distant miles. It was act, act. act. Oh! all the life you lacked! You could hear the stage hands whisper, "Show some pep, make it crisper If you falter, don't come bacK." I shan't forget that night! I nearly died with fright With a soft spot where my backbone should have been. I was chokin' mad with thirst And the man who scared me worst Was the prof who heads the expression clan. At last the act was done, The greatest vict'ry won, My head was gone it seemed. They led me safe away, To where a divan lay And this is what I dreamed. Act, act, act! Put some ginger in your act. If you don't put this thing over We'll just cover you with clover And -you'll never, never dare come back. ' -V.L. TRY WAHL'S NEW LOWER PRICE BASEMENT For Shoes.

Saturday night, February 17, the Phi-lomathean club of the Bellingham Normal School, held their annual banquet in the Pheasant Tea Rooms at 0:30 o'clock. To say the least, the banquet was a wonderful success and will long be remembered as a red letter day on each Philomathean's calendar of time. The Tea Rooms were very attractively decorated in the Philo colors, green and white, boxwood shrubs, and the Philo emblem, while pussy willows, green and white streamers, and green candles decorated the long white table. The five-course banquet dinner was proclaimed ''marvelous" and ••great" by 50 hungry Philomatheans, and each did healthy justice to it. At each plate was an attractive little place card containing a booklet which held the name and program and carried out the Philo emblem. After the banquet dinner a very interesting program was given as follows : Toastmaster Herbert Cederberg Song Donna ,K1 inker "Philo Husbands" Roswell Oliver Piano Solo Dorothy Clark "Philo Wives" Mrs. Sam Carver Group of Songs Margaret Saddler "Philo Students" Robert Tunst-all Duet Dorothy Clark, Byron Payne This annual banquet given by the Philos is always attended by a large number of alumni Philos who take this opportunity to get acquainted with the new Philo members; thus establishing a stronger union and good fellowship among all of the club members.

WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS "Washington summers are unequalled, and I've surely been treated royally since I came here last August," said Mrs. Emma Whipple, one of our most charming far-away students, who came to Bellingham last August from Wadena, Minnesota. "I only intended to visit here, but I found Bellingham such a wonderful place that I decided to take a course in music supervision at the Normal," declared Mrs. Whipple, as she modestly consented to be interviewed. Mrs. Whipple has taught piano lessons for twenty years, and she is scheduled to teach Fundamentals of Music next quarter. She is also a keen student of nature, and is much interested in agriculture. For ten years she was connected with the Agricultural department of the Minnesota State Fair, and she was the means of winning a silver loving cup for her county. If you are weary of lesson plans, and the strain of the end-of-the-term tests, seek Emma Whipple, and the sunshine of her smile will make life seem more worth while. B. S. N. S.

Greater support and co-operation from the student body was stated as one of the things needed by the social committee. The committee hopes that more students will realize that it is not a mere.go-between but a body with a very definite mission. It is not a negative group trying to tell anyone what not to do, but is a very positive group, working toward the goal of the most and best social activities possible. Under the regime of this year's social committee a great deal has been done. An unusually large number, of dances have been fostered by the committee, and some actually given under its supervision, as the Friday afternoon dances. Play hours have been provided, that all may be entertained. In every way the committee has tried to aid and further social activities of all sorts, but it is willing to admit that more might be done. The best way to get more done is by co-operation from the student body. In the matter of dance posture, the best possible spirit has been shown. There has been a ready response to all requests for what few changes in posture and style the committee has deemed it wise to ask for; but on the other hand there has been a great fault of omission. People have been heard to mumble, "Why don't we have more of this? or better of that?" But when pinned to just what they want and how it can be secured, they don't know that. That the committee is open to suggestions and will work on them is shown by the way it took up and put into effect concrete suggestions that were made for better music on Fridays and Mondays. If you really want something and have some advice to offer, see the committee. Cooperation means bigger things with less work. Give the committee a helping hand. This social committee, under whom precedent on dance events is being made wants to set a standard for future events. —V. G. L. B. S. N. S.- HOW WELL CAN YOU SPELL? You may be clever and studious but if you can't spell correctly , you are like a violinist with one of his violin strings broken. Judge Edwin S. Thomas of Hartford, Conn., gave a spelling test to several government officials, lawyers, and big business men. The test consisted of ten words in common use. These words were: Supersede, innuendo, inoculate, rarefy, vilify, repellent, plaguy, embarrass, harass, and picnicking. These are all words that one can use in ordinary conversation without getting a reputation for having digested "Webster's knowledge. Yet not one of these business men could spell all ten correctly. SEE WORTH WHILE MOVIES. Are you careful to select moving pictures that are worth seeing? A great many of your opinions and ideas are unconsciously formed as a result of the movies you select as recreation. These opinions you, consequently, impart to your friends. It is of vast importance whether or not your opinions and ideas are the right and proper kind. See pictures that will benefit you morally and mentally. See pictures that will miake you a little better. In this way, by patronizing worth-while pictures, you yourself will help censor the wrong kind of movies. B.S. N. S. What does the beginning of the new quarter mean to you? Do you consider it as an opportunity to be made the most of, or do you consider it as one more quarter of necessary drudgery?

"An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water," states "Dynamite," famous endman in the W. A. A. minstrel show. Reveille Island is far more than that. It is one of the beauty spots to be seen in a trip to the head of Lake Wnatcom and it is the source of interesting tradition and probable historical facts. Reveille is situated a mile or so above Nbrmalstad and forms an added attraction to our eighty acres. Normal students will probably become very familiar with the island as the eighty becomes improved. The island rises high above the water in a betutiful dome, covered with evergreen trees and underbrush. The sides of the island slope abruptly into the lake, leaving no beach and adding to the beauty of its form. Two thrilling traditions are told of the island. Many, many years ago, when this country was first settled, by white people the Indians fought, hard for their hold on the territory. Their last stand was made upon this little island in the center of Lake Whatcom. The English soldiers besieged' the little tribe and after a plucky show of endurance, starvation threatened. The Indians, being true warriors, would not surrender and so one morning just as the sun was peeping over the surrounding hills, they silently threw themselves into the lake and sank out of sight. As the last man disappeared the sweet tones of the morning reveille floated across the still water from the English camp. The island has since borne the name of "Reveille." Over two hundred years ago the territory around Lake Whatcom was claimed by an Indian tribe as their hunting ground. Their t war-like neighbors desired this valuable ground and war ensued. The defending tribe secreted itself in the underbrush on the island. As the enemy approached in canoes some slight movement disclosed the hiding place of the Islanders. A furious fight followed, both tribes launched in canoes', sending arrows at their enemies and trying to tip their canoes. Many Indians from both sides were soon trashing around in the blood-stained Avater. Suddenly they were one and all drawn steadily under the water and their frenzied cries brought help from their friends. As they grasped the hands of their rescuers the pulling increased and the remaining canoes were capsized. One Indian alone escaped and spread the news of the dreadful undertow that surrounds the island. To this day no Indian of the Puget Sound tribes has been bribed, coaxed, threatened or persuaded in any manner to set foot in a boat on the waters of the "Devil's" Lake. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASinN^ .0/:: NormatSoto 'Mildred Boyd, Dorothy Austin,. an:l Loris Jacklin motored with friends to their homes; in Seattle for the. weekend.

Miss Ke'eler and Miss Cummins en-tertaned for Dr. Nash Sunday evening by inviting in a number of his friends for a few hours of pleasant conversation.

It is Friday evening, and the dorm is in its usual Friday evening confusion, but this .evenng it is not because of a student -affair, oh no, the girls are not selfish, this is a Faculty Party. "Will they all come? Did you see those funny little kid games on the tab'o. girls? Parehesi, table horseshoe, checkers, and lots' of others. I bet they'll have' a "good time, don't you? Miss Slmey said not to disarrange the furniture, .Agnes." Scene II. The scene, and the view is changed. The girls arc back from the party downstairs, and are interested in what is going on in the social hall. No one seems to be a bit sleepy.. "Goodness, is the faculty still there? I thought they'd gone. Is there any cake left? You' go and see, no one will see you, there are some girls in the kitchen, you can find put from them. You, couldn't get any? What a shame.

"Say, girls, run, here conies Miss Long and Mr. Philippi with the dishes. Don't let them catch us here." They, run down the back stairs. "My, that Avas a scare; I never ran down stairs so fast in my life. Well, I guess they are going. We can get back safely tliis way.' Yes, they are going! There are on'y two couples on the floor now, aren't there? That's Dr. Miller. I believe he's just learning. He is going to stay till the last dog is hung. He certainly is human. He has a good time, doesn't he?. There, the lights are out. Let's go and see if there is anything left." " The girls quietly approach the social hall, and finding all quiet they enter the room recently so merry. "I found a valentine. I. bet it was the first prize. Whoever won it was more interested in the dance than the prize, evidently." "Is there anything in the kitchen?". "Nothing but some lump sugar." "Oh, dear, a n d ! got so hungry watch- 'n lt;r Mr. Heckman dance!" "Let's go to bed; We don't need any devil's food anyway." "Good night, ladies; Good night ladies." The crowd disperses, and quiet reigns once more. -B. S. N. S. iTUDENT LOAN FUND EXPLAINED BY DR. MILLER Few of us.ever give a thought to the Student Loan Find. In fact a surprising number of students did not know that such a fund existed, until Dr. Miller spoke of it in assembly on Monday. At present, this fvnd exceeds $17,000. and in the last year, over two hundred students have received aid. This loan is for the sole purpose of he'ping students who can not otherwise graduate, or who are in serious financial difficulties, it is not for personal convenience, and is not a scho'arship fund. To receive this loan, the student must apply to the faculty committee. After the committee has approved, the loan mav then .be obtained at the registrar's office. Money will not be loaned to pjop'c who have poor grades, when someoir: with higher grades needs the help. Students are urged to piy b gt;ck this loan as quickly as possib'e. It is nr-t necessary to return the loan in one sum. B. S. N. S.- D'uiarhter: "A certain young man sent some flowers this morning." Mother: "Don't .say 'a certain young, man,' my dear.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS DIRECT FROM OLYMPIA A bill has been introduced into the legislature which will make the state normals, four year teachers' colleges. If the bill is passed, the normals wi'l then have power to grant degrees in Bachelor of Arts and teach major lines for the professional training of teachers, school superintendents and school supervisors. They would also be able to train high school teachers. This would undoubtedly increase the enrollment thereby' add to the importance and prestige. The teachers' pension was made state wide when it was passed by the" legislature, last week. This is the same law which is in practice in some of the larger cities. B. S. N.

Title—The Unexpected Reply. The lesson in picture appreciation that I observed was in splendid progress. The children were able to name at on;e every picture that was described to them. F'n-ally "The Shepherd's Star" was described to the class and everyone named it correctly. The the pleased and enthusiastic teacher asked, "Now why are you so sure it was 'The Shepherd's Star' and not the "Song of the Lark?" They are very much alike and can be easily confused." • • .

I'm sure everyone has missed something arid' someone who is an inspiration arid guide to higher things if they do not. N,o one '.would thnk we have such a noteworthy character in our midst as Miss Regina Frank. •"-;'.•'; Miss Frank is a graduate of the Rel-lingham State Normal school; and of the American College of Physical Education, Chicago, Illinois. " While in this Chicago school of physical educaton, Miss Frank was a leader in all sports. In the fall term the girls turn out for field hockey and soccer—the teams are chosen in November and all the games are inter-class games. In the winter the girls turned out for vol-, ley ball. Miss Frank was a member of each team. Volley ball is the popular game in the east, and the American P.. E. College entered the Chicago tournament. Thirteen games were played and in each the Chicago College of Physical Education wei'e victorious, and won the gold cup trophy which was offered by the Amateur Athletic Federation. In the spring, indoor baseball, track horseback riding and swimming were the sports which Miss Frank also took; up. . An honor emblem is offered by the Chicago Physical Education college for. the two best all ''around athletes in the school. We are not surprised to learn that Miss Frank was one of the two girls winning the honor emblem..

There was a superfluity of smiles and good cheer throughout their whole domain. Now, what was the meaning of all this excitement? It was for no other reason than that the pupils felt the presence of Dan Cupid flitting around the halls and in their class rooms. Dan Cupid was personified and represented by the large number of pupils who, with a mysterious letter or package in their hand would direct their footsteps to a certain large box placed upon a "pedestal" in one corner of the hallways. This "postoffice" was filled to overflowing with letters and packages sealed with red hearts the most of which bore the title "To My Valentine." What was inside of the envelopes we can only guess, but at any rate they all bore the good will and loving wishes of Dan Cupid on Valentine's Day. B. S. N.

Stanford University, Feb. 12. Hazing died a sudden death at Stanford. Tom Irwin, editor of the Daily Palo Alto, decided at the time he received his hazing when a Freshman at Stanford, that he would go on the trail of partakers of these yearly festivities or "spanking bees." On January 31, of this year, Mr. Irwin caught seven Sophomores of Erims hall red-handed. The hall was given the alternative of agreeing to abandon the traditional method of discipline and adopt a system of Senior control, or of having exa*mples made of the seven. The sophomores decided to discontinue their methods . Their decision was also followed by Sequoit hall. The Chinook, Seattle: West Seattle High is boosting for cleanliness and asks: "What do you do with your wastepaper ?" "'What do you do with the papers when you clean out your lockers?" " Do you leave them lying around or do you put them away." We can honestly say that our halls, locker rooms are respectable as far as cleanliness is concerned and hope to keep them that way. The Ocean Breeze, Aberdeen: The editor comments upon success being achieved only by work. A great personality or a strong will power will not gain success for you unless you back up either of these two qualities with hard work. A person who may lack a strong personality and who is very meek may rise into the limelight if he works. Too many people are afraid of their tasks and shirk doing them. And according to the editorial if you are one of the latter join Coue's followers and say to yourself every morning, "I like Work." ' B. S. JST. S. The Right Size. It is said that once, when President Washing-ton was riding near Washington City, with a party of gentlemen, their horses leaped a rock fence: the last steed over kicked off several stones. "Better replace those," suggested the general. "Oh, someone will do that!" was the careless reply. When the riding party disbanded, Washington turned his horse, and rode back the way they had come; dismounting, he carefully replaced the stones. "Oh, general!" chattered a friend who came along, "you are too big to be doing that!" "Oh, no," replied Washington, as he stood gravely inspecting his work. "I am just the right size." HOTEL LEOPOLD LUNCHEON 60c Table d'Hote Dinner $1.00 Sam Rathman's Orchestra 6 to 8 p. m. Special Sunday Evening Dinner $1.25 BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE DISCUSS GIRLS' FINANCES An enthusiastic crowd of Business Girls met at the Dean's hour, Tuesday, February 20, to continue the discussion of Investment, held over from the Forum of February 6th. Marjorie Westall opened the discussion on the topic "How Can a Business Girl get along with less than $25 in the spring quarter above the cost of board and room." The speaker believes that this could be done if the girls kept their health and had their spring wardrobe to begin with. It developed that at least 13 young women are making out their spring budget with the expectation of spending less than $25 during the spring quarter above cost of room and board. Vergie Glance led the discussion on "What to do with $25 above living expenses." After a very animated exchange of views, the group decided on the following approximate division: I. Registration $4 to $6. (Lecture course 75c, nurse' physician 50c. Messenger, social life and athletics $1.50). II. Books, $4 to $6. III. School supplies, $3 to $5. IV. Miscellaneous, $5. (Toilet articles, stationery, stamps, ear fare, etc.) V. Religious work and philanthropy, $2.50. VI. Social and literary clubs (additional to 1) $2.00. VII. Cultural Advantages, $1.00; lectures and concerts in addition to I above. VII. (Optional) Clothes, savings or traveling, $5 to $10. Recreation in addition to I( VI and VII found in walking, hiking, birds or some other nature hobby and cultivation of friendships. Thirty Business Girls have limited their expense to $25.00 for the Spring Quarter. How would you spend $50.00 above living expenses? $100.00? In discussing the distribution of $50. and $100 respectively, above living expenses, the group decided that the difference should allow an increase in philanthropy, clubs, cultural advantages and provide a definite sum for clothes, traveling and savings. Fifteen girls of the group are planning to spend more than $25.00 above living expense in the spring quarter. Joy Taylor spoke on the budget system, advising her colleagues to eliminate foolish purchases and worthless entertainments in order to have money for things really worth while. In discussing the health of the Business Girl, it was unanimously conceded that no girl should undertake working unless she had good health and every Business Girl should see to it that she kept her good health through regular habits and by steadfastly refusing to be overworked. A pleasing diversion was furnished by the reading of two original poems from the pen of Aladine La Rouche by Irene Hoyt, both Business Girls. The sixth annual banquet of the Business Girls' League will be held March 24th at the Normal. B. S. N. S. In a grade school in a western city, on the 22nd of February, a teacher asked this question: "Who can tell me whose birthday this is?" A girl rose timidly. "Well, Margaret, you may tell us," said the teacher. "Mine," came the unexpected reply. NEWTON'S Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY The HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET . A.

The Alkisiah club banquet, which was held at the Hotel Leopold Friday evening, was voted a complete success by all members present. Covers were laid for forty-five.' A color scheme of purple and gold the club colors, was effectively carried out KILAUEA Speaking of Dante's "Inferno," Mrs. Bunting thinks she has had a glimpse of it. To standupon a narrow ledge one hundred feet above a steaming cauldron of fiery red molten lava, is a thrilling experience, but—it is at the same time terrible in its awful beauty. At least Mrs. Bunting so discovered when she watched, fascinated, the seething lava of (Kilauea volcano on the largest island of the Hawaiian group, steadily rise until it overflowed the mouth of the pit. As you probably know, lava in the molten stage, flows with about the same consistency- as -molasses: conse quentlv, one can back up before it. "However," laughed Mrs. Buntiny, "one usuallv keeps a respectful distance. You know.' it's really hot." At frequent intervals fountains of fire caused by currents, send spouts like sky rockets into the air. thus causing the most brilliant fireworks and giving an intense and lurid glow sometimes as high as one mile above the crater. It was upon April 3. 1921,' that Mrs. Bunting, with a small party, visited Kilauea volcano. Arrivinsr at noon they found the lava about one hundred feet below the narrow ledge upon Avhich they first ventured out to look down into that turmoil of moving lava. It rose steadily until it had overflowed the rim bv one mile at two o'clock in the morn-ing. "Then." said Mrs. Bunting, "we left, only to find in the morning that the flow had covered two and one-half miles and had reached the foot of the cliff, upon which stood the volcano house or inn. According to Professor Jaeger, the voleanolosrist who lives there, it was the highest and most rapid recorded rise in fortv years." As the fiery cataract flows out. ser-pertine and irregular, from its crater, the lava glowed darkly red thru the crust formed bv the contact with cooler air. The horrible beauty of this molten river was further accentuated by the strong and suffocating gases escaping with a hissing murmur from the lava pit and thru the chasms of the mountain. Upon the lake of fire float two detached islands used, much as a guage. to measure the rise and fall of the lava. These islands, it is said, made their appearance in a most unique way. Without apparent reason the two shot up from the depths of the lava, and since have remained. One of the islands has with daffodils and tulle. The favors were tiny purple booklets filled with candies. May Phinney acted as toastmistress. The program of the evening consisted of toasts on the club traditions. Several musical selections were also given. a cone-like cave resembling the mouth of a whale. When currents from different directions run into the cave, it seems as if the wnale cannot swallow so spurts out the lava with the most orilliant gushes. The HaAvaiians have a beautiful myth woven about .the volcano. Acordingc to the earliest legends, Pele (Pili), the goddess of fire. dAvells here. When she is happiest the gloAV above the volcano is brightest and the lava is the highest. About the volcano is found Pele's hair. Clinging to rocks about the mountain it resembles spun glass, and is the result of molten lava blown and hardened by the Avind. Legends further relate how the small, bright stones found here and there in the lava are Pele's tears. They are of topaz color and when hard enough are used for jewels. "When Ave Avent up the mountain to the pit," said Mrs. Bunting. "Ave passed over a Avell-marked trail OArer the old lava, called pahoehoe, but Ave did not return the same wav for the simple reason that we couldn't. NeAv lava (aa) had completely covered the trail and since the crusted surface Avas not' quar-anteed to remain surface if a step Avere taken upon it, Ave returned bv auto road, a detour of seven miles, to the inn."

FRESHMEN WIN KLINE CUP GAME (Continued from Page One) first /Kline Cup game. The Sophomores hold the cup at present, so it was with blood boiling that the Freshies entered the game. From the first toss-up the spectators knew that it was to be a hard fought game. At the close of the first quarter the score stood 12 to 10 in favor of the Sophs. During the second quarter the Freshies tried to make up the two scores of the previous quarter but failed. By the end of the half the score was 16 to 14 still in favor of the Sophomores. During the intermission of halves, however, the Freshies were revived or perhaps they were just getting warmed up, for by the close of the third quarter they; held the highest score, 24 to 18. . Too; much credit could not be given Agnes Tweit for her creditable playing. "Aggie" seemed to have laid a charm over the ball and basket; so rapidly did she run up the score during the latter part of the third quarter. The Sophomores did some notable team work during the last quarter, their star being Mollie Curtis. But for all the attempts they could not cover up the lost scores and the game ended with a final score of 29 to 24 in favor of the Freshmen.

Born in Frankfort, Kentucky, Miss Carter has been singing since she was four, and when she was thirteen, she took up music as a career. Studying in New York under Oscar Seagle and later with Nadia Boulanger, she has sung with many oratorio societies and in concert. Miss Carter was the leading soprano with the Philadelphia Opera Company, and has appeared with the Boston Symphony, the' National Symphony Orchestra, and the CBS .orchestra, under Howard Barlow. Next Friday's assembly is the dance recital by Eleanor King. Remedial Meet Big Success The conference on the Education of Exceptional Children, which was held here last Thursday and Friday, July 6 and 7, was well attended by college students and educators, from off the campus. The conference was sponsored by the state department in cooperation with the college. Those who attended report that it was all very interesting and decidedly worth-while. At 10 o'clock on the first day, President Haggard gave the address of welcome, followed by the singing of the National anthem, led by Don Bushell., Miss Emma Erickson gave a" brief overview of the conference.

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

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

Ruckmick, who was a member of The memory of those six young people will live long in the hearts of the faculty and the school. You just don't forget things such as that. A memorial has been erected to commemorate the occasion of their deaths. Whenever you pass that memorial, today and any other day, but today especially, just mutter a prayer for the six students, whose names will be placed on separate plaques as soon as the war ceases.

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

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

Tlotes By WALT BAKER NORSE NOTES We all wonder sometimes, just what goal the United Nations and we, as individuals, have in mind as to why we ore fighting. Even the men on the fighting fronts wonder as well as the populace ot home. We just can't say this is the war to vend all wars, or that we want to exterminate certain racial groups^ The proceeding reasons hold a .semblance of truth, but we have and should have more solid reasoning and more facts on just what our ultimate aim will be. We are a nation at war and the ultimate aim of War is peace. Peacej however, is far more than the cessation of armed conflict. Opponents in battle may cease fighting because of exhaustion of material or man-power, problems the Axis nations face today. A truce, and even weather may enter the problem. These, however, are not sighs of peace, for the causes of the conflict have not been removed. The controversy has not been settled. Neither side has given up. Hostilities are merely suspended, to flare up again when circumstances permit. No, peace is more than tranquility. It is tranquility grounded in order, and in an order of justice, in law, rather than in armed might. THE ENEMY'S PEACE The peace our enemies see, and the only one they are fighting tooth and nail for, on their own admission, is a conqueror's paradise. Ic is a world ruled by force, maintained by force and administered by force. It is an order dominated by men" rather than by "laws, an" order in which there' are one or more master minds arid master nations for that matter, with the others held in bondage and suffering oppression. Their so-called new order, already imposed upon the nations they have conquered, and are losing one by one, is not really new, but a reversion to a pre- Christian pagan order, and without the saving graces even of the ancient order. IN CONTRAST: By contrast, the peace we are fighting' for is a world, not of oppressions, but of freedoms. "This free-ness, this liberty," declare our leaders, "this precious thing men love and mean to save, is the granite ledge on which the United Nations now propose to raise their new world after victory... These freedoms are: freedom of speech, of worship, and freedom from want and fear... It is not claimed that this list of freedom's is exhaustive, that men may have no others... But it is asserted that these four are the basic ones to democratic living, and that they are so interdependent that where one is missing, all of the others suffer. BASKETBALL: Tomorrow night, Coach Charles Lappenbusch and his right hand assistant, Cale Campbell, will send the up-and-down Viking casaba squad, who will be playing the role of modern David against a strong and versatile University of Washington team, starred in the role of Goliath in the first game of a top notch home and home series. Last year's Viking squad, also playing the role of o David, met the UW team and literally scared the pants off the powerful purple and gold outfit from Seattle, when they dropped two heart-breakers to the Huskies. Let's do our part, and every last one of us, including the faculty, turn out there to support the wearers of the Blue and White. FLASH!! All students must enter the East door of the gym Saturday night and will-be required to sit in the section reserved for the student body ticket holders. This measure will be enforced to the fullest extent because of the large crowd expected and the room that will be taken up by the 35-piece Mount Baker School band, which will furnish.the' music for the evening. So students, let's all co-operate with this arrangement and make up a solid WWC section on the east side. Violinist Brosa Guest Here Antonio Brosa, violinist, was guest soloist at the assembly held Tuesday, January 16, in the'College Auditorium. Mr. Brosa, who was accompanied at the piano by John Sundsten, presented a program of outstanding classical numbers. Mr. Brosa's concert career began at the age of ten. So great was his success, he was awarded a scholarship- to study violin in Brussels. Instead of returning to his native country, Spain, he continued to win praise from concerts given in England. Former Staff Boss Lost in Action Al Biggs, former WWCollegian editor and now a sergeant in the U. S. army air corps, has been reported missing in action over Hungary since December 11, according to word received here this week. .Biggs entered the service in 1943, and upon completion of his training as a radioman, he was assigned to the crew of a B-24. In August, 1944, he was sent overseas. Last November he was awarded the air medal with two oak leaf clusters for meritorious achievement while over enemy territory. He served as editor of the 1940- '41 Collegian and as sports editor the previous year. His wife, the former Betty Rusher, who also served as a member of the WWCollegian staff, is now living with her parents in Bremerton. Coming Assemblies Arouse Interest As a prelude to the Viking's big game against the U of Washington Huskies tomorrow night, the yell leaders, Merrie Virginia Eggers and Charlotte Samples, led a few yells in assembly this morning. The results were loud and spontaneous. There will be an AWS business meeting on Tuesday, January 23, in the Blue room of Edens hall. After the business has been taken care of, Miss Frances Simas will speak on the Orient. All AWS members are invited to come. VOL.

WWC Glamour Girls Chosen Photogenic qualities are the basis on which twenty girls are being chosen Tuesday as candidates for the the Publications Prom. The Norsemen will name the first twenty today' on their ballots, and the votes will be counted by Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publications adviser, and Doris Tedford, ASB president. At an assembly sometime in the near future, the field will be narrowed to ten girls by a group of Bellingham photographers. Portraits will then be taken of these, ten girls, which will be sent to Whidby Naval Base for the final selection of the reigning Prom princess. Her identity will not be revealed until the night of the Prom, when it will be announced during the radio broadcast. Three Coed Join Valkyrie Ranks Pat Gardiner, sophomore; Martha Graves, junior; and Nell Kosola, sophomore, were elected this week as new members to Valkyrie. This brings the club membership to 22. Members' are chosen on the basis of personality, leadership interest in school activities, appearance, and poise. Initiation of new members will be held within the next two weeks. Those elected into the club fall quarter are in charge. Valks are sponsoring the half-time entertainment tomorrow night at the University game. Mildred Fife will twirl the baton with a drill by Valkyrie and Pitt White and Merrie Virginia Eggers will present an acrobatic routine. Rangy Lad DON MCMILLAN Big Don McMillan, veteran Husky center/ will lead the Washington trainee squad when it tangles with Coach Lappen-busch's much-improved Vikings Saturday night at 8 in the college pavilion. Last year, McMillan broke the single game scoring record with 34 points. He is playing his third year of varsity ball for the Huskies, and is an excellent pivot man around the keyhole. Hec Edmundson, UW coach, will depend a lot on McMillan's scoring in the Huskie's offence. Record Crowd Anticipated Vikings Out To Win Grudge Game; Huskies, Beware! The University of Washington Huskies, coached by Hec Edmund-son, will meet the Western Washington Vikings this Saturday evening at the college gymnasium. Game time, 8 p; m. ' Still remembering their tight squeeze in getting by the Blue and White last season, the Huskies are coming prepared for anything. Mt. Baker high school will have their thirty-five piece band, dressed in full Scottish kilts to play for the fans during the game. Show Rehearsals Now Underway All major acts for the Winter Show axe now cast, and at least two already are in rehearsal. All parts have not been filled as yet, however, so the names of the complete cast can not yet be given. «, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom and Mr. Victor H. Hoppe reported that they were very pleased with try-outs, _as_ some fifteen people tried out for chorus rolls* and about eight presented specialty acts. Many of these will be used in the show. A roller skating act is the latest addition to the show. It features Crystal Ackerman, Cynthia Systma, and Joan Martinson. According to advance reports, it promises to be one of the high-iights of the pro-* duction. ; ' The show is scheduled for sometime in the early part of March. Ex-Viking Athlete Missing Word was received from the War Department this last week that former Viking football captain and All-Winco guard choice, Lt. James Hollings-worth is missing in action over Europe. He is shown above Coach Lappenbusch in his football days at WWC. Jim flew P-61 fighter and had previously shot down eight Germans in one day.

Hoppe, who have done such a swell job of getting the winter show plans drawn up and put into action. A vote of thanks go too, to the advisory committee who have helped plan what we hear will be a tremendous success. And last but not least, we congratulate all the students who tried out for parts. Upon the performers will depend the success and we know that no matter how large or how small your part may be that you will do it even better than we expect. OUR FUTURE I don't know if any of you have thought much about the G. I. Bill of Rights, which was passed fast year but I was asked to read an article the other day on it which appeared recently in Colliers magazine. It was written by Robert M. Hutchins, President of the University of Chicago. Dr. Hutchins' father visited our campus last quarter. After this war is over, and between now and then, boys will be returning to college campuses to finish their interrupted education. According to the provisions of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, every man who has been in the service 90 days or longer will reap the benefit of free schooling at the expense of the government. The bill providing this sounds very good when casually mentioned,, but there can be and is a lot more to the situation than is apparent at first thought. All of these matters will someday affect us and many of our friends who are now serving in the armed forces. As the post-war leaders of this nation, we should be examining the future that our elders are making for us. As Dr. Hutchins points out, unless some changes are made in the G. I. BilPof Rights, "colleges and universities will find themselves converted into educational hoWJ jungles." It's about time we, who have the opportunity for education now, look over our wall of seclusion to see how we can help those who are helping us now. By SEARL You say you want to hear You say you want to know, Stay around friends, 'Cause here I go Of Mice and Men; Patsy Cooper (Heroine of the Week) is official "Mouse Exterminator" at Edens Hall. She now receives a gold star for each new victim for mice, of course. Speaking of murder, Cupie Clement has a certain dance step for "The Three Caballeros" that can not be surpassed or is it just good exercise for your daily doesn't, Cupie? Dancing also seems to-be one of Donna Flakes favorite pastimes, (her latest professional contribution involves falling on the 'floor, then resuming the natural position Careful, Donna, you're apt to fall hard some day. It is being hushed about from place to place that Joyce Ackley and Mildred Spromberg plus two men in navy blue were seen walking at midnight on the highway toward Lake Whatcom the scenery is lovely out there in the moonlight. While we're on the subject of hearing things We understand Merry Virginia Eggers doesn't ever pass up a dare .but has she proved that????? A certain fed head proved she can get out of a rut congratulations. House Hooey RAGAN'S RAMBLNGS Thump! Thump! Thump! Go -the muscles, Slap! Slap! Slap! Go then-hands, Stop! Stop! Stop! Scream the "house" mates but the exercises continue. They pound, they bend, they twist, and the house resounds with many groans, for three girls from Ragan's are determined to get those sylph-like figures through the noisy, and now famous exercises, of a certain well-advertised success course. HARBORVIEW HAILS In spite of gas rationing, the girls at Harborview Hall enjoyed a five course progressive dinner Wednesday night. They were served shrimp cocktails, tomato soup, jellied salad, stew, and a surprise birthday cake for Gerry Leek. Favorable comments can still be heard about the new method of traveling from room to room on foot, instead of using precious gas to go from house to house. A good place to go to enjoy some hot jive is Harborview's Blue room, where Corky Urfer can be heard really beating it out at the piano, all hours of the day. Good athletes turning out for sports this year are Eleanor Anderson, Ruby Stroebel and Corky Urfer, swimming; and Mavis Danley, basketball. Good way to get rid of that surplus energy, isnt it? Peggy (out of things) Sorenson lost her shoes in the lounge the other *day. Best advice Peg; don't let loose of things you don't want to lose. Pauline Brue and Stu Moldrem (Ex-student of WWC), sketchy kids have fun drawing the characters of the school how about that, Joan Haggard? Oh, well! gossips have a keen sense of rumor. It's not a rumor that the Sip and - Bite is fast becoming a popular find-'em-here place. They have the space to dance and the nick is due any day now. (Note: good records too). A dream come true. A dream came true when the basketball bounced in' favor of WWC at the game with the Coast Guard proud we are to be rooters for WWC. Question of the Week!!! Why the red faces in Hygiene class?? maybe Herb Witt can give the answer. Seen Together— Roy Weldon and Cynthia Sytsma skating of all things. Dick Brunswig and Bernice Chatterton, driving like to make that 10:00 o'clock class. BiU Murray and Ver-na Deck are always seen around. AH YES!! IT'S A GREAT LIFE IF YOU WEAKEN IN TIME TO ENJOY IT. Get in Paper; Wrap it Up If you have ever wished to get some article of yours in a newspaper, here's just the way to do it. We offer the following rules which we trust will prove of value: Take the newspaper and, opening it, Jay it on the floor. Smooth out the creases with the hand. Having selected the article place it in the center of the paper and carefully turn the edges over, folding them so as to make a neat package. Now, with a strong cord, take a turn about the parcel lengthwise; then one crosswise. Knot securely with a square, round1, oval or conical knot and the task is complete. These directions, of course, apply only to small articles, such as combs, sandwiches, shoes and bottles. You cannot get large articles like lawn mowers, baby carriages or a student lounge chair in a newspaper!

Cederstrom, one of WWC's most active faculty members, deserves a round of applause from one and all for his wholehearted help in putting over athletics and student affairs here at school. Dr. Cederstrom is a person to whom a lot of praise should go for the organization of the basketball games' faculty ticket men. Foster Veteran on__ Viking Ball Club Now playing his third season of basketball under Coach Lappen-busch is Paul Poster, sophomore basketeer from Puyallup, Wash. Having had a very wide back-ground in athletics, Paul excels in swimming and basketball. Because of this experience, Paul is one of the finest ball handlers in these parts, and has a keen sense for set- ' ting up plays. A likeable fella if there ever was one, Paul returned to WWC this fall, and was immediately elected president of the Norsemen. This soon led to his unanimous choice as captain of the basketball team as soon as .the season had rolled around. In addition he carries on many other activities. As the season is well under way now, it can easily be seen that Paul's services wjll be invaluable to Coach Lappenbusch and the Vikings for the season of 1945. highly touted Huskies, the Viks will throw everything they have at the visitors in an attempt to win. Coach Lappenbusch has had his squad hard at work all week long and they should be in tip-top shape for the Huskies. v Both the Huskies and Vikings have played the Whidby Navalairs, with Washington taking a trouncing and the Viks breaking even in two games. On the basis of this, the game should be a toss-up. Viking Speedster Lineups Eastern Savages Vikings Huddes Here Jan. 26-27 Wark F....^.. Burton Graham P.

XXII Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school, known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story, dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage, handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest. It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once. MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24.

Miss Peterson, who is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending. Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc. Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy, singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice, her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera" (Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal, Saturday night.

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

Tho the reception was more or less impromptu, there was a large attendance from the hall and from those living outside. Punch was served thruout the afternoon. A remarkable feature of the afternoon was the orcestra that played for the dancers. It was a combination of part of Ellensburg's orchestra, rendered by the visitors, and the Normal orchestra. There was quantity as well as quality. Sunday a small group of girls spent the evening with Miss Sperry and Mrs. Campbell at the home of Mrs. Guilder - son, on High Street.

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

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

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

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

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

Did you ever notice them leaving assembly the instant the warning bell rings? Is it not too bad they cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!" Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say!

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

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

Still achieving, still pursueing, learn to labor and to wait." She smiled to herself and caressed the paper. B. S. N. S. — THESPIAxio.

It has been decided that February 22 is to be the date for the Annual Thespian banquet, so Washington's birthday anniversary is to have an added significance. •' The business meeting finally concluded, a splendid play was presented. Everyone played his part so well that we could hardly realize that they were not who they were pretending to be. "The Dear Departed" was the title of the play and the east consisted of Mr. Slater, Dewey Boman; Mrs. Slater, Madeline Temple. B. S. N. S. OHIYESA NOTES.

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

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

Ellensburg has great expectations for a championship basketball team, as her squad is composed of some of the best basketball material in the state. State Normal School Journal, Cheney: Cheney Normal desires that every student and faculty member speak of the Normal using its right name "The State Normal School" at Cheney. They believe that if it is known or spoken of as Cheney Normal, that it is implying a false condition, for it is not a local but a State Normal. They desire to have the proper name used. The Trail, C. P. S., Tacoma: C. P. S., according to a recent editorial, wants to have as its slogan for the football year of 1923. "C. P. S., the Center College of the West." And following Dr. Coue's "day by day," hope to carry out the slogan. -B. S. N. S. CHENEY TO BE ENTERTAINED GRIDIRON WARRIORS RECEIVE EMBLEMS Block W's were presented to the members of the football squad, during Wednesday's assembly, by Coach Sam Carver. As the names of the players were read, the members of the team came forward and took their place on the platform. Thomas Frank spoke in behalf of the team, and explained to the student body the significance of. the emblem which the members of the team were about to receive, and what this emblem meant to the players. Coach Carver presented the "letters" to the following players: Lawrence Kep-linger, captain (end); Guy Bond, end; Randolph Dawson, end; Thomas Frank, Tackle; Paul Rairdon, tackle; Sam Ford, guard; Dewey Bowman, guard; Ruei Knowlton, guard; Oscar Linstedt, center; Boyde Staggs, quarter; Archie Thomas, fullback; Harold Gaasland, halfback; Ralph Miller, halfback; Walter Vanderford, halfback. B. S. N. S. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN Arangements are being made for the entertainment of the Cheney basketball team which comes here Saturday. The plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students' Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke, Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week. Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long, and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost, accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires, cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila). Violin solo Marian Westerland Der John der Haide Accompanied by Mrs. Hagerdorn. Appreciation was shown by the applause rendered after each selection.

Incidentally, Mr. Bever urged the presence of a good audience at the debates which will take place later in the year, as Mr. Bever expressed it, we should have the same spirit in turning out for debates as has been recently shown toward athletics.

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

T IS OF School Formally Opens for Work Here September 6,1899. STEADY PROGRESS IS MADE Twenty-sis years have passed since the establishment of a State Normal School at Bellingham, Washington, then Whatcom, Washington. The first Normal School established in the Puget Sound country was located in the beautiful little city of Lynden, Whatcom county, Wahington. This institution was organized as a private enterprise, but later an effort was made to secure state aid for its support. This plan having failed, a movement was started for the establishment of a state Normal School in this part of our commonwealth. A law was passed providing for the creating of a commission to select a site somewhere in Whatcom county. Citizens of Bellingham anxiously awaited the decision as to where the school was to be located. On February 19, 1893, a newspaper stated: "Now that Anderson's Normal School bill has passed, West Geneva and Langtry Point on Lake Whatcom are mentioned as desirable locations for a site." When the present site was donated, all other locations were forgotten. First Appropriation made. In 1895 the first appropriation for a building was made. The original building, costing about $45,000, was erected in 1896. In 1897, an appropriation for maintenance received the governor's veto. In 1899 an appropriation for equipment and maintenance was received, and the school formally opened for work on September 6th of that year. In addition to the original structure, eight other buildings have been erected. The first of these was the Training school building in 1901, which contains a total of thirty rooms. The gymnasium "was added to the rear of the main building in 1901. Edens Hall was erected in 1905 (replaced by a beautiful new structure in 1921); the Science annex in 1907; the Manual Training shop and a large annex to the Training School in 1913; a central heating plant, which furnishes steam and hot mater for all the buildings, in 1917. In 1921 was added the Emergency Hospital. The nine buildings now occupied by the institution are all completed and with their furnishings have cost upward of half a million dollars. Below are the plans of the Normal, which are to be completed within the next twenty-five years. Beginning with the Library, which is most needed, these buildings will be added one at a time, until the plans are finished. •as-,. ' * « • . : lt;w;; **±Sm • ' ! ' • " .

SEA BEACHES ARE POPULAR The rapid growth of the Normal during the last twenty-five years has caused plans to be drawn up providing for a definite plan of growth for the next twenty-five. This includes a new Library, Gymnasium, Training School building, Athletic Field, Girls' Dormitory, Auditorium, Sylvan Theater, Chimes Tower, and many others. Judging from the past, this can easily happen in much less than twenty-five years, but this period was set as the standard. As the Normal owns much of Sehome Hill, space for building after the twenty-five year program is assured. Ten Faculty in 1899. The faculty of 1899 of the institution numbered ten with Dr. Mathes as first president, and a total of three hundred forty-nine students. Dr. G. W. Nash became president in 1914. Succeeding him was D. B. Waldo, who was with the institution for a year. It was during his presidency that Waldo Field and the grand stand came into existence. C. H. Fisher is now president of the Normal School, having held this position since the fall of 1923. Mr. Fisher recently stated in an assembly that he believed that each president at the time of his presidency was gratly neded just at that time for the many things they accomplished. Certainly the progress of the Normal has been steady and successful during its entire history. BELLINGHAM LARGEST CITY OFMRTHWEST Industrial as Well as Educational Community L MT. BAKER TRIP The attractiveness of Bellingham and the surrounding country cannot be denied. This city of 40,000 people has a lure all its own which the setting but enhances. It is a dream city in a dream land, and yet it is a real city, throbbing with real life. BUREAU AIDS STUDENTS Appointment Bureau Places Many- Students. Bellingham is the' largest city in the extreme northwest: it boasts four large lumber mills, which produce millions of feet of lumber every year. Much of this is shipped to foreign ports. From the foothills of the nearby Cascades comes an unlimited supply of rock to be made into cement at the Bellingham cement factory. From underneath the town each day many tons of high grade bituminous coal are taken from the rich mines. Limestone quarries in the vicinity appear inexhaustable. Bellingham's mineral supply has as yet scarcely been tapped. Farm Products Varied. Lumber and minerals are not the extent of Bellingham's ' material wealth. From the rich farm lands of which she is the center she gets fruits and vegetables that are canned in her canneries; eggs which are shipped by the hundreds of cases direct to New York, California, British Columbia, and Detroit from the Bellingham station: and from the farms too, dairy products far in excess of what she can consume. On Good Harbor. Bellingham is situated on one of the finest harbors on Puget Sound. Her bay shelters ships from many lands. The largest salmon cannery in the world is located in Bellingham, which together with smaller canneries, each year sends tons of fish out from the city. Never To Be Forgotten Scenery Appreciated on Hikes. After one graduates from the Normal school his next step is to get a position. And after he has his position there may come a time when he will need assistance or a bit of advice to carry on his work. Bellingham has a well organized department, the Appointment Bureau, to take charge of this work. The director of the Training school is the head of the Appointment Bureau, but the bureau itself is in charge of an appointment secretary who keeps a careful record of registrants, their records and credentials. The recommednations of faculty members are also kept in this office. All recommendations are sent out through the Appointment, Bureau. The bureau keeps in touch with school boards, principals, and superintendents, and co-operates with them in filling vacancies with the most suitable applicants. CHUCKANUT FINE CLIMB View Unsurpassed From Local Mountain. Chuckanut Mountain, a 1,460-foot peak with its base washed by the waters of Puget Sound, makes an ideal morning climb for students who like to hike. And it offers much in the way of compensation to those who will roll out of bed early in the morning and scale its heights: health insurance, a hearty appetite and a view that can hardly be surpassed. Viewing Chuckanut from the State Park on Chuckanut drive, it appears a verdant, inviting mountain, one that might be climbed without scaling boulders or crossing dark chasms. True to its appearance it offers no obstacles to the hiker. The trails to its summit are easily traversed, and if one is a good climber he may reach the top in forty-five minutes. J The Bellingham Normal School is situated in the most beautiful tourist play grounds of the Northwest. The students of the school have every opportunity of viewing the ruggedness and the picturesque beauty of this playground; moreover the scenery changes often enough so that one does not grow tired of it. On one side and in front of the Normal lies Bellingham Bay with the beautiful San Juan Islands within easy boating distance. It takes but a short time from the thought of a picnic on the Islands until one is actually there. From the Normal one may drive along paved roads which lead through farm country, or on the widely known Chuckanut Drive. We will not linger on these but will take you into the Baker National Forest, the scenery and ruggedness of which cannot be surpassed. You will enter the National Forest through Glacier where arrangements can be made for pack trains, guides and food, and it is here you must obtain your fire permit. This permit is for your protection in case of a forest fire. Trails Lead to Beauty Spots. As you travel along the highway you will see trails leading off the main road. These are the trails you should follow as the road will not take you to the most interesting places such as Church Mountain, Skyline Ridge, Chain Lakes, Table Mountain, or Hannagan Pass. The trails lead you thru trees and flowers to beautiful lakes, and snow covered peaks. For a short trip off the highway you may take your lunch and go to Chain Lakes, three clear lakes set in green, and forming three links of a giant chain. From the lakes you can climb Table Mountain, from which point you can see the lakes and Mount Baker in the background. Now about face and view our Mount Shuksan and Ruth Mountain, two rugged peaks. If you have left your Kodak in camp you have cheated yourself of pictures you will wish never to forget, pictures you should always enjoy. Kodaking a Pleasure. If you are a good kodak hunter you will wish to go to Hannegan Pass. Here you can climb Goat Mountain and cross over to Copper Mountain where you can obtain pictures of the elusive mountain goat. Pictures of bears are taken very frequently in the Austin Pass district. If you do not care for long hikes you may drive to Austin Pass where camping equipment is supplied for a reasonable sum. From here you are able to reach all places of beauty—lakes, forest, snow-covered peaks, and meadows. Trips are made by the students each summer to as many of these places as possible. The trips are sponosred by the different clubs and organizations of the school; at least one trip is sponsored by TWO HOURS DRIVE Regular Motor Ferry to Victoria. Service Two hours drive from Bellingham is Vancouver, the largest city in British Columbia, and a favorite of tourists on account of its many places of interest. Stanley Park, one of the most beautiful spots in the Northwest, covers one thousand acres around which there is a drive with many enchanting views. From it one can see the Pacific with its giant waves breaking eternally on the rugged lisores. From it, too, one can see numbers of ocean liners with their merchandise from and for practically every seaport in the world; and here can be seen ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1925 May 22 Supplement - Page 3 ---------- ¥^m^mwff^9^^^m^, WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASH. LEAPS TO E Championship Teams Put Out in Major Sports. Looking back to the past football season it is evident that the great collegiate game at Bellingham Normal went through one of its most successful years. The largest squad in the history of the institution turned out for football. Thirty-eight men were issued suits the first day and thirty-three men donned their moleskins for the final game. Bellingham Normal went through the season with five victories and two defeats. Both of their losses were scored by teams from the University of Washington. Victories were registered over St. Martin's College, Seattle College, Ellens-burg Normal, and Cheney Normal. The season ended at Bellingham, November 22. Cheney was defeated by a 13-0 score, a final victory which gave Bellingham Normal the State Normal School championship. This year nineteen men made letters in football, Bellingham ought to be able to put an almost unbeatable team on the field in 1925. Track Squad Active. The Viking Track squad took part in three track meets this season. The sixth annual Relay Carnival at University of Washington, a dual meet with the University of Washington; and the triangular meet between the three Normal schools. Waldo Field with its new quarter-mile track and two-twenty straight away has helped to create a new interest in track. In the Relay Carnival the Normal placed second in the Medley Relay and forced the Freshmen to a new record to win. The frosh dual meet held at the University of Washington was lost by a large score but at that the team showed a big improvement over last year. Normal was able to take three firsts and placed point winners in every event except the mile. The Tri-Normal meet which will be run off at Ellensburg, May 23, should be closely contested by the three Normals. Girls' Sports Hold Big Place. Sports, both indoor and out, play a big part in the school life of the Normal girl. The sports that are offreed in this institution are many and varied. Hockey and volley ball are given in the fall. Basketball is the big game of the winter months; while track, baseball and tennis hold full sway in the spring. Interclass games are held in all of these sports. The Kline cup for interclass basket ball has been competed for by the different classes for years. A girls' field day is held in the spring. On this day the championship in baseball is determined, and the track events are run off. Letters Awarded. Letters are awarded to the girs making the class squad in all of the sports offered. In addition to this the school awards a sweater to every girl who earns a place in a first squad for five quarters in any of the following sports: basketball, baseball, volley ball, hockey and track. GOOD SHOWING MADE WITH MINOR COLLEGES There isn't a doubt but what Bellingham Normal has the classiest ball team that this school has ever seen. The only game lost was to the University of Washington Varsity by a 5 to 4 score. Victories are held over Seattle College and the U. of W. freshmen. The ball team goes to Ellensburg with the track team May 28, to play Cheney for the minor college championship of the State Cheney holds the championship of the Columbia River Valley Conference. The following men have represented the Normal in its game so far this season; Staggs, catcher; Wingard and Frykman, pitchers; Leach, first base; Kure, second base; Davis, short stop; Graham, third base; Hyde and Burtz, left field; Katterle and Neil, center-field; Okerland and Parrett, right field.

IT TO DICK BRULAND, Football Captain. Tennis Tournament A tennis tournament is held in the spring of each year. Awards are given to the winners in women's singles, men's singles, women's doubles, men's doubles and mixed doubles. Much interest is shown in swimming. Here, again, those not knowing how to swim are given instruction. As soon as the girls learn to swim, they are eager to continue, and for that reason advance classes are held. A recreational swimming hour is offered once a week. In connection with swimming, girls work constantly on Red Cross life saving. • Thru the co-operation of the Normal and Women's Musical Club of Bellingham, students have had, during the past year, an opportunity to hear some of the foremost musical artists of the present day. This course was introduced a year ago, and because of its success and the interest shown by students and others, it promises to be a permanent feature of Normal life. Because it is felt that the students need the opportunity of hearing good music and because few of them will have a chance to hear it when teaching in the smaller districts; only the very best artists are presented. Student activities tickets admit to the concerts. World Famous Singers Appear. Louis Graveure, famous baritone, was the first artist to be presented. He proved a good introduction to the course as his exceptional voice, his selections, and his pleasing personality made all who heard him anxious to attend all of the musical numbers. Marie Ivogun, soprano, who appeared on January 21, made deeper the impression and interest which Graveure had begun. Her program consisted of a few well known operatic numbers and several familiar folk songs. Sophie Braslau, famous contralto, made the people of Bellingham feel again that they were enjoying a great privilege. Her charming voice added greatly to the variety and perfection of the program. Harpist and String Quartet. Albert Salvi, the world's greatest concert harpist, introduced something entirely new to the Normal in the way of music. He is a composer and director, and is being hailed today as the greatest concert harpist that the world has ever produced. Probably no one has been a greater revelation to his audiences than Albert Salvi. Following Salvi, the Flonzaley Quartet was presented. This quartet has been in existence for twenty-one years. It consists of Adolfo Betti, Alfred Po-chon, Felicien d'Archambeau, and Irvan d'Archambeau, all noted string artists. The European record of the Flonzaley Quartet is as great as is its history in ! America. These four artists played to-1 gether with an understanding and in a manner deserving great praise. 1 Schipa Ends Season. j Tito Schipa, world famous lyric tenor, who appeared on May 6th, gave the final touch to a successful musical year. Not only did Tito Schipa touch the height of art in song; he sounded the very depths of human hearts. That he pleased his audience can be best shown by the fact that his program was doubled by encores. . Taken as a whole or individually the concerts have been a success and now that the first step has been taken students of B. S. N. S. will not lack opportunities of hearing good music in the future. Much dramatic talent has come to light among the students of the Normal School. The Normal Drama Club, an all school dramatic organization, and the Thespians have had a very live membership and have put on some really excellent productions. The Drama Club, which has charge of all the Normal plays, has held to its schedule of one worth-while play a quarter. In the fall quarter it presented "The Show Off," a comedy take-off on life, which was very well received. Bradley Dodge played the part of Aubrey Piper, the self-satisfied man. The winter quarter brought "Old Lady 31" another comedy.

TWO YEAR TEACHER CREDITS FROM NORMAL ACCEPTED ELSEWHERE School Year Divided Into Twelve-Week Terms. Four FIVE FOUR-YEAR COURSES By DR. IRVING E. MILLER Chairman of Curriculum Committee. Curriculum is an awkward word borrowed from Latin. Its plural is curricula. In the original tongue, the word means a race, from the Latin verb curro, I run. Curriculum is also the term applied to the course over which one runs. By analogy the word has come to mean in English the course of studies over which one runs, so to speak, in completing the work of a school. In modern school usage the words course and curriculum have come to be differentiated in meaning. A course means primarily a single unit of work in the school career of the pupil. For example a course in psychology runs for a semester, a term, or a quarter. Its -completion entitles one to a certain number of credits—two, three, or five— which may be applied to the total number of credits required for the completion of a curriculum specified for graduation. All our courses run for a period of one quarter (12 weeks) though any course may be followed by others in the same subject. Variety Offered. We use the term curriculum to apply to a series of courses running through a period of from two to four years, all of which are prescribed to accomplish a unified purpose. That purpose in each case is to give the best possible training for a particular type of teaching position in elementary or junior high schools. To this end we offer the following two-year curricula: Primary, 'Intermediate, Grammar, and Rural. Four-year curricula are provided in the following lines; One for Primary, Intermediate, and Rural school teachers, one for Junior High School teachers, and one in Supervision and Administration for the training "of elementary school supervisors and principals. Are of College Grade. Outstanding features of our curricula which differentiate them most markedly from those of most other teacher-training institutions are the following: Definite prescriptions in much needed 'background subjects in general science, history, and English—all taught with special reference to the needs of elementary school teachers; the integration of courses in technique of teaching with the work of observation and practice; the enrichment of the work in "music, art, and industrial arts; and the sharp focussing of all courses on materials and methods necessary to realize carefully defined teacher-training objectives. All the courses of the various curricula are of college grade in the demands which they make upon pupils. As compared with the work of the best liberal arts colleges, they demand as good previous preparation, as high a degree of native inteligence, and as severe standards of achievement. We believe that the profession of teaching calls for the best native ability and the highest type of professional training. Colleges and universities accept credits from Bellingham Normal without question. A graduate of this school can enter college or university as a Junior. Credits earned here can be counted toward degrees. Bellingham Normal, therefore, offers easy first steps in higher education. On the other hand, Bellingham accepts credits from other institutions, and students who have done college, university, or normal work elsewhere need only transfer their credits to Bellingham to be able to continue their work here. Excess credits, earned after graduation, from a four-year accredited high school are accepted at the rate of ten normal credits for each high school unit.: This offers a decided advantage to those who have done post graduate work. With this broad basis of credit exchange it is possible to begin one's education in any of the higher institutions of learning in the state and to finish wherever one chooses. Bellingham offers a wonderful opportunity as one is able not only to go to another school later if he desires, but also to teach after two years and thus earn the money for this further education. RURAL TEACHING GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION Extension Classes Co-ordinated With Actual Work. TRAINING SCHOOL IS IMPORTANT FACTOR Students Given Actual Experience in Teaching1. Rural school teaching is finally coming into its own. Preparation of teachers thus far has been mostly for the city schools. A new movement has been put into practice in Bellingham and adjacent rural schools with a view to training students for good country school teaching. Extension classes have been organized in which teacher training for rural schools is being co-ordinated with the teaching in these schools. Twenty students have been placed in eleven rural schools in Whatcom County. These student teachers are assisting regularly employed teachers in the rural districts and the work of both regular teachers and student teachers is supervised by Miss Orpha McPherson of the Normal School Faculty. Three cadet teachers have also been placed in rural schools in Mason County and are being superintended by Miss McPherson with the assistance of Mr. Bennett Howard, rural supervisor of that county. Extensive Course Offered. Miss McPherson offers an extensive course in methods and observation for the rural teachers. Twenty teachers meet together once a month, on Saturday, each time with a different teacher and at a different school. Miss McPherson, the County Supervisor, and the County Superintendent take charge of the demonstration classes which are held in the morning and for which the children turn out 100 per cent. o PROGRAM IS ARRANGED PROFESSIONAL VIEW IS AIM OF NORMAL SCHOOLS Education for teaching is the chief value and aim of the Normal inasmuch as it gives suitable training in that field from a professional point of view; but it offers also an education for the needs of life. Many special fields such as music, art, gymnasium, or science may be studied in connection with the required work. This gives the individual student an opportunity to fit himself for life according to his needs whether in teaching or other lines of work. Since a college or university will accept a Normal School graduate as a Junior, the Normal may be used as a stepping stone to higher education. Two years in Normal give a wider variety and more interesting course than the usual first two years in college or university. It offers a very good opportunity for those unable to take more than two years of higher education in that it better paves the way for self-development as the courses are more rounded out than in institutions where four years' work is required. No Tuition. No tuition being required and living expenses being very reasonable the Normal offers an opportunity of attending school for the purpose of deciding upon one's life work. = The Bellingham Normal is particularly desirable in many respects, one of which is its location on Bellingham Bay, where the climate is always mild and agreeable. The Normal itself is of sufficient size' to accommodate a large number of students and possesses an able faculty First Week's Schedule for Fall Quarter. 8:00-12:00 Registration of Sophomores. 1:00-5:00 Registration of Sophomores continued. 2:00 Assembly.

We are not in favor of such a drastic move. It is all right for some of those guys who sport a young wheat field with a covey of quail on their phizzes but what about us'ns that write to their home town newspaper when they sprout peach fuzz after a week's steady sprinkling with Sterno, the miracle hair restorer. Anyway it's only 11 days until the gala spring festival date and already the performers in the crew races are getting ready for the watery struggle. At least that is the reason given us for the many cars parked along the Fill these evenings. The Fill is also known as the Furniture Factory estuary. We feel sure we have picked a winner in the pie-eating contest. We are ready to back Norm Dahl, the Seabiscuit, in any size pie. Norm is a graduate of the now defunct Beanery and as such, should give the other contestants a handicap. At the Beanery it was a case of the survival of the fittest and fastest. Norm is the best eater we have seen for lo these many years, both in quantity, speed, and finesse. . SHORT STUFF . . . Let it now be said that Dr. M. F. Cederstrom's son and heir apparent, believes in calling a spade a spade and not a dirty old shovel. For further particulars inquire of the 10 o'clock comp class of the erudite Minnesotan. Walter Baker, the Marietta Maurauder, confides that the Navy is growing very concerned over the Panama Canal zone and adjacent waters. Bake is tentatively slated for training there after he gets through his reserve training at Chicago. F u r t h e r news from Uncle Sam's front informs that Butch Franko, Don Bell, and Lobo Moscrip are safely at, Santa Maria. Don was made a leader of the Northwest cadets on the trip to California. Further news will be forthcoming next week, we keep telling ourself. Datelmi e Friday, May 2 AWS commencement tea. WRA Week-end trip begins.

XL—NO. 28 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingharri, Washington Friday, May 2, 1941 Norse Sail Again; Islands Beware Annual Men's Club Cruise Dated for Sunday Morning. 75 to Participate on Trip As the Sea Scout ships, Activian and Legionnaire, put out of Belling - ham harbor Sunday morning, the annual Norsemen's cruise will get underway. According to Brian Rob-son, the boats are to leave the Municipal dock at 7:30 a. m. and will sail among the San Juan islands for the day, stopping at Sucia, Orcas, and Sinclair. As a help for students riot knowing the location of the dock, a party is to be organized at Edward's hall at 7 a. m. "Approximately 75 WWC students are to participate in this cruise, which Robson feels will be one of the most successful affairs the Norsemen have staged. The party will make a stop at Sucia island for lunch and from there will move on to Deer harbor at Orcas island. Last stop before hitting the Bellingham waterway at 10 p. m. will be Sinclair island. Those planning the cruise stress the fact that each member of the group should bring both lunch and dinner as well as cups and spoons. Coffee will be served by the Norsemen. Other suggestions offered by the committee in charge warn students to wear soft soled shoes and take heed of sunburn. In commenting on the cruise, Robson said, "Weil do quite a bit of singing and for this I would advise purchase of a copy of "Trail Tunes." They're on sale at the Research bureau for 10 cents a copy. I'm telling you this will be a good cruise, the best yet." Klipsun Staff Plans Color Schemes At a Klipsun staff meeting held last week, decisions were made as to the colors to be used throughout the book. The color of the end sheet was selected to harmonize with the cover. Golf, tennis, and track pictures were taken this week along with a series of pictures for the feature page. About 30 students (who are still wondering what it's all about) are being featured instead of the usual one or two who are designated as the most popular. Editor Shirlee Cratsenberg reports that the KUpsun is being printed now but that it is too soon to announce the date of release. Al Salisbury of the Western Engraving company spent last Friday afternoon with members of the staff discussng the 1941 Klipsun and possibilities for the 1942 book.

Miss Jean Boyle, of Harborview hospital, spoke on "Opportunities in the Nursing Field" and Miss Gwen Rees on the topic, "Life of the Student Nurse." • NRCS Group Meets At Sedro Woolley John Nordmark of the Washington State Planning council, will speak to the members of the Northwest Regional Curriculum Study group at their last meeting of this school year Saturday, May 3, at the Sedro-Woolley Central grade school. The topic of the address will be "The Community Survey and Its Relation to Modern Education," The speech will be based largely upon the Sedro-Woolley-Burlington survey to be made this summer under sponsorship of the State Planning council and the University of Washington workshop. The remainder of the meeting, to be conducted by Dr. Paul R. Grim, ninth grade WWC Campus school supervisor and president of the study group, will consist of group discussions and possibly the election of Study-Group officers. Casa Lomans Give In Burlington Booked to come to the new $20,000 Roller frolic at Burlington for the grand opening Saturday, May 10, is Glen Gray and his Casa Loma orchestra. Gray is being brought to Burlington through the management of the Music Corporation of America. Musicians from jazz instrumentalists up to and including symphony men marvel at the band's tecfihical ability, its ensemble work, and the virtuosity of its soloists. The general public likes it not only for these features but because it is "commercial" without being "corny." WRA PLAY DAY MAY 10 High School girls from Whatcom and Skagit counties will be guests of the WRA at the annual Play day to be held May 10. The girls will be entertained during thei day with games and group discussions. Campus Day Dance Held as Usual Beards to be Grown, Planted During 5-Day Interim—Uh! As the 11 intervening days between today and Campus day dwindle away, two events have definitely been decided upon. An abbreviated, fiye-day beard-growing. contest will be held startm'gJ;Friday, May 9, and ending Campus day, May 13. The Campus day dance will be held the evening of yCampus day instead of the proposed Monday night before. Otherwise, the spring quarter highlight, with all its traditional fun, will be much the same as in past years.:' Cash prize contests will, feature part of the day. A $1 pftze each for the longest, reddest, and fanciest beard will be the incentive for bewhiskered WWC malfs in the Whiskereeno contest. Two winners, a boy and a girl, will be selected at Lakewobd in the( preliminary pie-eating contest. These two champions will battle in the evening assembly for a $1 first prize with 75 cents going to the loser. The third, and perhaps most aesthetic affair will be the men's bathing beauty contest. The male contestants, properly attired in swimming suits, will vie .for a $1 first prize. The second most "beautiful male" will receive 50pcents. The judges for these} Campus day contests have been tentatively announced as being female faculty members. -i Establishing a precedent^ the assembly committee is offering $2.50 first prize for the best skit in the evening assembly.

Special credit is deserved by Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, our adviser. Doggone it all, we're proud of you. Are the Laborers Rats Now? We Don't Think So! Is American labor composed of human beings' welded info a group or are they a dangerous menace to civilization? We travel under the impression that labor is composed of fellow- Americans but recent reports from the House "of Representatives, cartoons in papers, and other influential sources, would lead one to think that labor is a dangerous beast, fit only for electrocution and throttling altogether. Most of our parents belong to the laboring class and are composed of the same stuff as workingmen anywhere. Would you condemn your father to the electric chair or to complete abeyance to his employer? We are not condoning all strikes, yet we refuse to condemn them. The right of labor to organize and strike is still one of democracy's strongholds.

A talk with the guardian of the greens revealed that grass will soon grace the plot south of the Library. The belated sprinkling system connections were installed last Tuesday and Dack looks for germination by the end of this week. With rain last Saturday and Monday nights paving the way, he feels there is still a chance to have grass high enough to mow within six weeks, now that sprinkling, is possible.. At the latest it will jte well up by%the end of the quarter if nature will co-operate. California Sunshine Ain't So Hot Memorandum re: the recent unusual weather: California Chamber of Commerce has been doing a lot of complaining lately of the "Washington weather" they have been having. This is a complaint against what CCofC's euphimistically call California weather —• although no tourist has ever been able to be in California except when they were having unusual amounts of dew. The main objection to long periods of sunshiny days and starry nights is that the level of conversation is lowered to a serious degree. Take, for instance, the case of a young gentleman and the light of his life who are parked on Sehome hill. As they gaze out over the smoke-smudged town, she lowers her head to his shoulder. He murmurs. "Lovely weather, isn't it." She dreamily answers, "Yes." And there the conversation ends. There is nothing more to be said. She can't say it looks like rain because it doesn't. He can't reply that he thinks the clouds will go away because' there aren't any. Consequently the two little dears lapse into silence and spend the evening twiddling their thumbs. And then there are the poor agriculturists like George Dack who have done their spring planting in the simple faith that just because there always has been lots of rain in April there always will be. Now there is no rain and there are no growing things. There is a story going around about a farmer who has unlimbered his gun with the intention of shooting the (40 words censored here) Japanese for changing their current just so his radishes "wouldn't come up on schedule. -; • :-^r'By"Mariiyri- Manuel •;'. gt;.'

Helen Lund- , quist will go along as adviser to the group and Peg Bartlett is making the plans for the trip. For the girls who wish to know what is planned for the week-end, it might be stated that there will be swimming (in the steam-heated sound), boating, baseball, food, sleep, and the popular indoor sport, pinochle. Aloha Malahenis May 10 is the date set for the high school girls to be the guests of the WRA at the annual Play day. This year's Play day will ,have a Hawaiian theme. The committees are going to get together some night to make leis for the malehtois, Sigh schools from Whatcom and Skagit counties are each sending five girls and two advisers to the conference. They will be entertained throughout the day with games and discussions. College girls are invited to attend the luncheon at Edens hall with tickets priced at 35 cents. They are also invited to attend the tea in the afternoon in the Edens Hall Blue room. Luncheon tickets will be sold in the main hall the week previous to Play day. Folk Dance Festival Don't forget the Folk Dance festival, May 21. Potato Salad Without Ants WRA is picnicking May 22 with Nancy Nix as chairman. . Cars will be coralled for transportation to the site of the picnic. Swimming, baseball, singing, and the picnic supper will be the routine of the day. This picnic will be the second general meeting of the quarter. Cabinet Installation Audrene Feldt is chairman of the cabinet installation to be held soon. This installation, held annually in the spring, includes both old and new members of the cabinet and will this year be held June 4. Kulshan Trip "The last week-end in May has been set aside for the trip to Kulshan and it's really worth planning for," whispered Melba Mayhew, WRA prexy in Soc. class the other day. She even went so far as to promise good snow sliding and a neat eight-mile hike to the cabin. She also gloated because the Memorial day holiday gives us an earlier start. Tennis Complaint This reporter is sore, and we mean sore! We turned out for tennis for the first time last week. And are we sore. We hit the ball over the fence more than anyone else there. Why don't, some more of you neophyte tennis players come out on Friday afternoons and have a try at learning the fine old game? Virginia Kreuger, tennis manager, promises that anyone can learn. Swim Meet May 12 is the important date in the life of all the,mermaids in school who wish to compete in the Blue Barnacle swim meet. There will be individual competition as well as team competition. The team competition is divided into the A and B leagues. The A league consists of girls who swim the length of the pool in 19 seconds or less; the B league composed of those who swim it in more than 19 seconds. Emaline Earlywine, in charge of arrangements, also promises a Bathing Beauty Fashion show with the mermaids modeling bathing suits of every decade since 1890.

The Gladiators had previously handed the St. Martin Rangers a worse drubbing than the Viks dished out a few days ago. As it was, the Lappenbusch men might have taken the first doubles match for a clean sweep but for a two and one-half hour wait between the singles and doubles match for- Glenn and Pettyjohn. Now that most of the not-so-confident prospective racquet lettermen have made their letters, theoretically at least, we may see the ladder switch about a bit. One quick glance at the crystal sphere assures a win for the Wildcats from the Blue and White at Ellensburg this week-end. Remember, only one of the Knox species is out of school. McLaughlin's trial toss of 40 feet, 10 inches, proved to be the best for. C P S and good for five points in the week-end meet. Carver's bundle of hope, Ed Fleming, failed to hit his practice throw distances while Lawrence Munizza displayed possibilities with a third place. Strange as it seems, the closest first place position to call for the day occurred in the 880-yard run when the Parkland man tipped the tape a couple of inches ahead of Baby Dahl, high point getter for the locals with a first and two seconds. The times, as a whole, for the cinder opener were comparable to a good high school meet. If you think I'm kidding, check the box scores with a few of the events in the high school relay carnival held last week with Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish county schools participating. The Southern trio in the mile event boxed Cale Campbell very effectively in the sprint turn. Next time, Campbell is going to have Johnny Lund pace him and beat off boxers and admirers alike. An interesting little mural argument, that may be put to a vole, arose the other day when a partial strip-tease came off on the softball diamond. Firebug Hollingsworth demanded that Alick Mitchell peel his spike-laden track shoes for the common good; whereby, Mitch demanded that everyone take off his shoes if Mitch had to do so. Ump Healy then asked for a voluntary Gypsy Rose Lee on the tootsies so encased with the spiked variety. After a half a dozen of the fellows had removed their shoes and played ball on blistering heels for a while, they began to ask why cleats weren't allowed. To make a short story longer, I have listed Joe Moses's reasons why cleats should be allowed and my reasons why cleats should not be allowed. As it happens, Joe is in favor of barbed shoes while I am not. MOSES'S: Although I don't think that track shoes should be permitted, I do believe thai the league would be faster if cleats were permitted with the field in its present condition. The wearing of cleats Would be optional to those players who cared to purchase or borrow them. MINE: The circuit is still classified as an intramural league. A good portion of the fellows would not be able to obtain a pair of these special shoes. Under these conditions, playing opportunities would be unequal although intramural departments emphasize that equipment is the same for all participants. I still have a couple of scars as reminders of cleat shoes so I guess that I am just prejudiced. It's up to you men of the softball league to decide upon this trivial matter by voting when the issue comes up. At least we can be thankful that we live in a country where we can still vote and, argue upon such trivial things and the big items, too. Where did that plug come from? I'll have to dial out these breakfast news propagandists, especially Goodrich. Carver's divot diggers showed vast improvement as a team in their encounter with PLC. All of the green addicts shot in the intermediate 70's. Bob Smith's 74 was good for top spot while Buck Rogers clipped close behind with a 75. Fitch, McGhee, and Finnell posted a 76 and two 78's, respectively. Some of you so-called golf fans are missing the boat this season. The walking gallery has been nil so far during the home matches • Bill Fowler, ex-WWC playboy, seems to be hacking the hot spot for the Husky diamond nine at Seattle. Box scores credit Fowler with five stolen bases in three games. Fowler's press agent and frat brother, Jake Carver, let loose this little release for the alma mammy. . . . Hospice Inn captured the first annual intramural crown last Wednesday when they whitewashed Edwards hall. . . . My only national sports prediction for the season is that the Yankees should polish off the American circuit by quite a few games to take the series. Forget that I told you.. . . Goodnight, Gram.

The only first he has picked for the Vikings is a possible win in the mile-by "Cabbage" Campbell. Last Friday, on their new track layout, the Viking thinclads took an 85 to 46 defeat from a" well-balanced College of Puget Sound squad. Leading point-snatcher for WWC was speedy-Norman Dahl who garnered 11 points in the meet. Bob Maycumber of CPS was tied with Dahl for high point honors.v Highlight of the meet was the 880- yard run, won. by Sharp of the visitors., "Durable" Dahl stayed with the pace-setter the entire distance and lost only by a close six inches. The only double winner of the day was Puget Sound's Leggee who reeled off a win in both the 220 and 440. Everett Fleming, hefty Viking weight man, had an off-day and placed second in his best event, the shot put; however, he won the discus throw with a heave of 123 feet, 5 inches. Summary: 1 Mile run: Oxholm (CPS), first; Beck (CPS), second; Campbell (WWC), third. Time 4:40.7. Pole vault: Windsheimer and Mc- Aulay (WWC), tied for first; Walker (CPS), third. Height, 11 feet.

Room 129 has been turned over to the girls and they are urged to go there as often as possible. It will be open every week night from 7 o'clock until 8:30, and also on Saturday if enough girls sign up. The unit is directly under the sponsorship of the Red Cross headquarters, and everyone is wel- Of the 2500 bandages provided, 400 have been completed and it is estimated that if enough girls will volunteer at least 2000 a month can be made. Tney are very easily made and zip experience is required. Ttye following rules have been set up for those working on the bandages in the room: 1. No one is to make surgical dressings unless one of the supervisors is present. 2. Wear a cotton dress or smock and cover the hair with a washable kerphjef. 3. Do not work when you are Small Containers • The containers labeled WSSP, placed at various points about the building are for the benefit of the World Student Service fund. This fund is similar to the work of the Red Cross, the difference being, this fund is raised by the students of America to be given to other students who are victims of the war. Money is sent to New York where it is cabeled to Geneva. There it is distributed in the manner in which they see fit. The money is used to buy books, music and recreational equipment for prisoners. It is used to feed and educate the Chinese students, and it is sent to Russia and Greece . to buy food and medical supplies. The money is used in America also to provide a year's education for a Japanese-American student or a refugee student. Special War-Time Courses Offered • This is the first in a series of articles intended to give readers a better picture of war activities being carried on on the campus. Immediately after Pearl Harbor the curriculum was put on a wartime basis, instructors gave freely of their time to teach on night and extra classes. A special bulletin outlining the wartime offering and intended to further the war effort '-in- every: possible way .was issued. Seventy-five men were enrolled in a special radio, class at once. Most of these men are now in active ser- ( vice. •'''"'.•;•:;-•." At the present time members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary are taking advantage of the special night : courses being offered in meteorology, piloting, and seamanship. ; This slimmer, special two-week refresher classes will be given for teachers returning, who hiave a limited amount of time.

V-12 is open not only to college men, but also to high school seniors who will be graduated this June. There will be a very small number of WWC students who will;be eligible to enroll in the V-12 reserve, because most of them are already enrolled in other programs, according to Dr. Hicks. "Anyone eligible and interested may come to the registrar's office and, see me for further. information," announced Dr. Hicks. 'Students/Give' • "Every student give to the Red Cross War Chest" is the slogan for the Red Cross drive, March 10 through 17.

S. Army recruiting office in Bellingham. Women who speak and write Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German, or Italian are very much needed in the WAACs, and are offered opportunities for rapid promotion, Sergeant Montes said. After completing the five-week basic training course, WAACs may be appointed to Officer Training school, or to Army Specialist schools, and upon completion of this training may be assigned to active duty with the army in the United States, or abroad. In no" case will a woman be sent overseas against her will, Montes added. Also badly needed in . t he WAACs are radio operators, mechanics, pharmacists, band instrumentalists, weather observers, stenographers, and telephone and teletype operators. Further information about training, pay . and promotion, may be obtained by the Army Recruiting office in Bellingham.

Baseball, bats and gloves are beginning to make their appearances as are tennis rackets. Thinclad hopefulls can be seen examining the track with an air of expectancy. Ludwick, Lowery and some of the other divot-diggers have been observed stealing out towards Lakeway. It is to be hoped that their hopes won't be smashed at the annual. Winco meeting at Seattle this week-end. It is obvious that varsity sports can't be carried on in the style to which they have been accustomed. Probably intramural sports will be substituted but we hope that intercollegiate athletics won't be entirely abandoned as they have a definite place and intramurar sports cannot adequately fill that place. _ ,~~ ,*.. „ . u s know...Pvt.

Delegates will draw up the schedule for forthcoming spring sports as well as decide on the protested EWC-WWC basketball game.' Sportsman Has Odd Records • One of the last but not the least to be mentioned is this week's sports personality. He came to this school as a transfer from CPS and has played varsity ball here for three years. He has participated in almost every sport at WWC and although he has not been the best in everything there has never been a gamier and more staunch competitor in. the school. This winter he made the trip to the eastern part of the state and made the record in one game of having a foul called on him without even entering the game. He finished his college career in basketball in fine fashion by being veryv' instrumental in the Viking's final win over EWC. Earlier in the season he had a contest with another squad member about which would get the least number of points for the season. He won. It is evidently a habit for him to finish his last game in a thrilling sort of fashion as last fall he pulled the same sort of finish in football as he did in. basketball. Both he and the student lounge fund were recently recipients of a small but tidy' sum with the help of the basketball games. As he is in the Naval Reserves, V-7, he probably will not be called into the service for a while. When he does he surely will be as good as they come for Uncle Sam. WE CALL FOR AND DELIVER GEO. KOPPERDAHL, Manager PHONE 66 61 Hospice Wins Mural Playoff With another/intramural basketball season bringing down its curtain after a very. successful campaign, Hospice Inn proved themselves to be number one team on the campus for the '43 season. Climaxing the second half play by taking two critical games from the Daniels hall quintet, the boys from across the street proved themselves the number one five. Art Stenson, who played very steady ball all season, along with Don Brown carried most of the scoring punch for the winners. Although getting of to a shabby start, Hospice rounded up into a smooth working team. The roster for the new champs consisted of Art Stenson, Don Brown, Mike Smith, Bill Wilder, Dick Morsman, Don Neal, Doug Bailey, Red Wright, and Bob Sar-vis. Sarvis and Wright did not finish the season because they were called into the service while the rest of the group played the majority of the season for Mrs. Stearns' house.

Those two losses were one each to Western and Central. The last series of the season scheduled for St. Martins and PLC was cancelled and therefore those teams played only 14 games apiece instead of the regular conference number of 16. PLC had lost four of its squad to the Army while St. Martins lost Allensworth and Erickson. The protest game between Western and Eastern will be called to attention Saturday when the coaches have their meeting in Seattle.

SUPPOCT THE JAPAN AZI SINKING FUND J!fcf WAR SAVINGS 80N0S 6. STAMPS Student Suggestions, Opinions Told Here Compilation of opinions has been made by the WWCollegian on the general subjects of social activities on the campus and the use of the Student Lounge. The opinions were collected by means of a questionnaire which was given out in assembly last Tuesday and are not intended to have any bearing on the work of official committees. The results are as follows: The majority was of the opinion that there is not sufficient entertainment on the campus over the weekends. Two-thirds of the students agreed that they would be willing to help with regular Bee Hours to cut down expenses. A little less than half of the students liked Thursday night as the best night for the Mixed Rec, while others were in favor of Wednesday and Friday nights. More than half would like movies shown in the auditorium on Friday and Saturday nights and the types of pictures most acceptable were comedies, popular, educational, travel, mixed, war effort, and sports. Some voted for just any kind available. This is in line with Cheney's policy of showing movies on the campus. Ideas on Mixed Bee Good Suggestions for making the Mixed Recs more appealing were: better organization, change of nights, contests, more, people, and better advertising. The majority was in favor of inviting off campus organizations mostly service men, to school functions. Additional suggestions for improvements of social life on the campus were: more Rec Hours; place to gather in the evenings; school dance band; community sing; tag dances; more organized hikes; pool open1 1on Sat-^ urday and Sunday afternoons; parties where everyone wears what they please and square dances and Virginia Reels are held; inviting service men to our social functions; and more cooperation in all activities. According to tne above tabulation of figures the vote seems to be in favor of some changes in the social activities. Interest Shown in Student Lounge On the Student Lounge questionnaire the following results were obtained: The expression of opinion by the majority was for the use of the Student Lounge for the duration even if it can't be fully equipped until after the war. The majority also was in favor of using the Lounge with borrowed furniture and a few students knew of people who would be willing to lend furniture to the Student Lounge. Many expressed their desire to have dancing in the Student Lounge, and more than two-thirds are willing to dance on the soft floors if it can be prepared at small expense. The following are suggestions made for the serving of food in the Lounge: Cokes and candy© machines;; volunteer helpers, scheduled or standing committees for the different parts, of service maintenance, cafeteria style, and student control. Many students said "no" to any type of food other than cokes or candy and ice cream bars. Others said "no food until after the war." Oyer half of the opinions were in favor of playing games in the •Lounge. Fewer than half were in favor of allowing smoking. "As soon as possible!' was the majority answer to the question, "What stage of completion would it be advisable to use the Lounge?" Some suggestions were: "put linoleum on the You Can Obtain the BLUEJACKET'S MANUAL At The STUDENT'S GO-OP ea mpt lt;i Girt: "If we become engaged, will yon give me * ringTV Boy:.. ^Certainly, wlutf* your ' • ' . .

Cactus plants have more uses than just furnishing "scenery" for movies about the "Wild West," Mrs. Nell Hutchinson, director of the Texas union, student recreation center atf the University of Texas,, has discovered. Gas rationing brought a request from students for a Saturday night- "night club" of their own, and the result was the Longhorn room of the union. The room is complete with red checkered tablecloths, student floor show, a nickelodion for dance music—and cactus. « The cactus, Which Mrs. Hutchinson and some student helpers dug up and transplanted themselves, serve a number of purposes other than decoration. The heavy "pots" in reality, pre-ration coffee cans-keeps the table cloths in place; the sand in which the cactus is planted is a protection against any small blaze, such as burning paper napkins; and the plants serve as windbreakers for the candles with which the tables are lighted. Glennis. Sundberg, WWC sophomore who previously attended State Teachers College at McCloud, Minnesota, gives a description of the student lounge of that school. "The large room which is only a little bit larger than the one here, is divided into four small ones. One room each for dancing, cards, table tennis and lounging," Miss Sundberg said. "The latter room is equipped with furniture, rug, and a radio." She also explained that the only food sold there is candy and cokes, and that one student is paid to manage the selling of it. In the dancing room there are a linoleum floor and a nickelodeon, she said, and the room was open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. ' "The whole idea worked out swell and really filled the need for such a social room," Miss Sundberg commented. Black Ink • AIR MAIL—V MAIL Stationery UNION Printing Co. 1421 Cornwall Ave. .

Miss Moldrem has appeared, in many Guild plays and is prominent in college music circles. Eliza Crosses The Ice Safely In Local Guild Showing By Clarence Soukup Bringing back to the vivid imagination, the story that split the nation asunder back in the 1960's, the little Theater Guild at 120 Prospect street scores another triumph with its production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," now running currently at the Guild playhouse. Performances may yet be seen tonight and tomorrow. Beginning with Eliza's crossing the Ohio on the ice and ending with the whipping and death of Uncle Tom, the scenes were staged and pbrtrayed with such realism that the first-night audience fairly gasped. Tom's whipping by Simon Le-gree is so forceful that the spectators cringed in their seats. Alva Potter gives an excellent interpretation of the kind-hearted, God-loving old Negro. Glenmore Jones in a double role draws his share of laughs for his real-to-life character portrayals. Perhaps an unusual role was the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde performance staged by Ronald Lund. From the gentle, kind-hearted St. Clare, he transforms into the cruel, morbid, and tyrannical Simon Legree. Beulah Padavon also draws praise for her role of Topsy. Others in the show giving able performances were Victor Dickinson, Glessner Burchette, Melvin Erickson, Bill Biggerstaff, Maurice Nelson, Maxine Moldrem, Olive Thon, Gertrude Lund, Mary Hibner, and Ronald Jones. Ten Students Get Jobs Ten teaching positions have been filled by students this last week. The appointment bureau has released the following list of names: Mary Iyall, primary grades, Lummi day school; Prancelia Smith, departmental upper grades, Meridian school; Elizabeth Vallentgoed, rural, Sinclair island; and Lois Barnard, fourth to sixth grades, Everson.

Mr. George at the present time is completing his master's degree under G. Oscar Russell of Ohio State, who is one of the outstanding men in the speech world today. Dr. Cotton also worked under Russell. George comes to WWC well qualified to handle speech corrective work with children as well as college students. He will have charge of the radio work and the remedial speech program. He also had' charge of radio activities while attending Ohio State. The new assistant is married and has one child, a boy. His wife was formerly secretary to Governor Bricker of Ohio. REC HOUR TONIGHT, SAYS MUNKRES "Yes, there will be a rec hour tonight," stated Prexy Al Munkres, "but it will in all probability be the last if it is not well attended." The training school gym will be the site of the dancing, where Chuck Sudduth's five-piece orchestra will melodize from 9:00 p. m. till midnight. Guest tickets may be had from 2:00 to 4:00 this afternoon in the ASB office upon presentation of ASB tickets and 25 cents.

NEW RCA RECORDER HERE FOR STUDIO Marking another milestone of advancement into the radio field by WWC, a new RCA recorder has arrived; and may be seen in the radio studio on the third flopr. This announcement was received Wednesday from Dr. Jack Cotton of the Speech department. The new recorder can do a professional job of making recordings and can use the large type of radio' disk. -It can and probably will be used to record stage plays and radio programs. The new recorder will also be an aid to the visual education classes in that it can be used to prepare records of talking to synchronize with picture slides. • ' Montague To Tell Stories Of Mounties "Montague of the Mounties," Sydney R. Montague, will present his thrilling story of his six years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in the regular assembly next Friday, August 2. More than half of his time with the mounties was spent in Baffin-land, the largest police district in the world, under the shadow of the North Pole. He was one of ten men who were chosen for this lonesome northern patrol, from which only two men returned alive. The post was later abandoned because of the danger. During this experience, Montague discovered that the Eskimos were real people, and in his lecture shatters many theories about the Eskimos and the Canadian Mounted Police. Among the theories he discusses, is the one on the Mounted Police always getting their man. Montague says that if there is a man to get, they usually get him, but there are many more important things demanding attention. Canada, stretching from the United States to the north pole, is a vast country that must be policed and kept in order. William Matchan, baritone, will sing for the assembly next Tuesday, July 30. Mr. Matchan was presented in concert here before and was^ very well received. BOARD ABOLISHES COUNCIL Having only a lifetime of one year, the student and faculty Publications council was abolished subject to approval of the faculty by the Board of Control at their meeting Wednesday.

All representatives of the different companies were present at th» bidding. The board of trustees will meet Friday evening to let the contract. In the meantime Mr. Jones was authorized to study the bids and make his recommendation to the board. Date of completion of the laying of the pilings will be included in the contract. ~\ Companies submitting"-•bids were: The Croy-Lich Co., Hehrikson-Al-strom Co., John Johnson, Lind Gravel Co., Mason Construction and Engineering Co., Andrew McLean, R. C. Sisson, and C. V; Wilder. Enrollment Tops Last Year Enrollment for the second half of summer quarter has dropped to 605 according to a report received from President Haggard this week.

MORE THAN 473,000 STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS, colleges, ond universities throughout; the country were employed on NYA jobs in March, 1940. This means that one out of every seventeen of America's high school students and one out of every ten college and university students were earning federal funds on projects planned and supervised by local educational authorities. In evaluating the student work program there are many factors to be considered. In the first place, the work performed by the' students has not only enabled the educational system to operate more efficiently. It has.resulted in an invaluable contribution to the advancer ment of knowledge in many fields through the research assistance provided by the students. In the second place, the development of planned work programs, carefully integrated with the needs and interests of both students and schools, has helped to remove the cloistered atmosphere from general education by giving many students a practical Work experience. In the third place, the student work program gains significance from the fact that it is a new method of helping to realize the American goal of equal educational opportunities for all. Finally, because of these three factors, the funds which have been spent in assisting these hundreds of thousands of students must be regarded as an investment—an investment in our educational plant, an investment in productive research, an investment in many of our nation's future citizens and workers who are thereby much more adequately prepared to serve in a democracy and to contribute to its future prosperity and welfare. Regardless of who is elected in the coming fall election, may the NYA not be forgotten. It needs to live. Anyone.who thinks that women aren't becoming the stronger sex should have noted the marquees of the downtown theaters last week. All running at the same time were the following features: "Andy Hardy Meets Debutante," "Dr.' Christian Meets the Woman," "Cisco Kid and the Lady,' "Lone Wolf Meets the Lady," and ^Sailor's Lady." Ah, poor men! How Football Became Major Sport Thirty-seven years ago, a young man stood in front of a group of boys in' the old* house that once was across f r om Barton's hall. He was suggesting and urging the men of the college to form a football team. "Think of the honor, glamor, and the glory. Think of the fun. "Oh, come on, trays, what can we lose?" That man was L. A. Kibbe and his talk had not been futile. A committee was sent to see Dr. Matties, then president of WWC. He gave his consent provided the boys would not run the college into debt. Lawyer R. W. Greene, still in Bellingham, father of Helen Greene, former WWC s t u d e n t , was • made head coach. There were 37 boys in school against 300 girls, a ratio of 10 to 1. Nearly all the boys were out for practice. Mr. Kibbe wanted to play but the heavy load of studies prevented it. He did his part, however, and took up the duties of yell leader, ticket taker, and all-around general manager. The day of" the big game came. The opponents were the eleven of the New Whatcom high. In blue • and white cheering section sat only seven brave girls of the noble 300. Across the field in a frenzy of cheering sat a huge crowd of Whatcom backers. The hour was a disappointing one to Mr. Kibbe but he started to make the best of his small cheering section. Just then two huge fellows stepped up from out of nowhere. "What seems to be the trouble, Buddy?" Mr. Kibbe explained his predicament. One of the big fellows waved his ami to a crowd of similar-sized behemoths standing off to the left. Soon the blue and white cheering section was making more noise than the combined forces of the Whatcom high. The Hilltoppers came through, too, with a 6-5 victory. A touchdown counted only 5 points in those days. After the game, Mr. Kibbe asked a friend who his kind supporters had been. "Why don't you know? They're wrestlers. There's Prank Gotch and there's Farmer Burns. They wrestled for the championship of the world last night. All those other big fellows were here to watch the match." And that's how football became a major sport of WWC.

Towards the end of June, the Columbia University Press announced the results of its poll, conducted among the readers of the "The Pleasures of Publishing" (house organ of the Press), to select the books which any candidate for the American presidency should read and be familiar with above all others. There were 429 book titles named, and 95 of these titles were mentioned more than once. The first ten of those titles that were named most frequently are listed below. All of the books mentioned are in the library. 220-B47—The Bible. 813-St. 34—Steinbeck, John—The Grapes of Wrath.

FORMER INSTRUCTOR HERE FOR SHORT VISIT Professor Gebaroff of the John Marshal! junior high school in Seattle, and former WWC instructor, was a visitor of Franklin Shaver, school printer, last week. Mr. Gebaroff had charge of the industrial arts department at WWC twenty-five years ago. He was the first to introduce printing into the teacher curriculum in the state of Washington. At the present time he has charge of the printing department of the John Marshall school. One of the highlights of his visit was the meeting in the halls of two - of his former students of 25 years ago. The Teacher and the Public By President Haggard The parent-teacher association is a very important agency of school interpretation. The membership of this organization at present is approxi-* mately 1,750,000. Its possibilities for broad contacts are not comparable to the newspaper, but it does afford especially good opportunities for the teacher to establish relationships with parents without seeming to interfere with what some individuals call parental prerogatives. The parent-teacher associations not only provides the opportunities for desirable personal contacts with parents but occasions for other forms of interpretation. • In every- community disputes regarding school procedures arise from time to time. These disputes usually emerge from misunderstanding. As an example, complaints regarding the evoluation techniques come to the school. Can one think of an organization or an agency better suited to provide for a panel discussion of this problem than the parent-teacher association? Another example may be the financial needs of the school district. The parent-teacher assocation is the organization that should first consider this problem. If properly carried out, mutual consideration of problems usually means mutual understanding. No agency of school interpretation has more worthy objectives than the parent-teacher association. Among its stated objectives are better understanding of the aims of the school, the establishment of a closer relationship between the home and the school, and organization to help meet the needs of the school. Teachers should welcome the opportunity to participate in the parent-teacher association. If the parent-teacher association is a problem for the school, wise leadership in most cases is the solution. Dr. W. W. Haggard Interesting Facts Probably of interest and not known to most WWC students is the fact that four of the present college instructors were graduates of this institution. They are L. A. Kibbe, class of 1905; S. A. Carver ^ 1913; Miss Hazel Breakey, 1914; and Miss Georgia Gragg, 1919. Miss Bertha Crawford, former supervisor of the eighth grade in the training school, now retired, graduated from here in 1917. Miss Mae Meade, college nurse, although not a graduate, attended the training school. Mr. Carver and Miss Crawford are the only two who began teatching here immediately after graduation. Sam Carver was perhaps the first example of proselyting in the annals of WWC. Dr. Bond was the college coach at the time. "I needed a.forward," said Dr. Bond, "and down in the dust of the Bloedel Donovan mill I saw that forward. He was Sam Carver. Of course £ told him that a mill was no place for a young man. What he needed was an education and a future, but there really were not any philanthropic ideas jn my heart. What I wanted was a forward and I got him."

For instance: The distance of forward passes will be measured from the line of scrimmage to the point of completion. Kicking yardage will start from the line of scrimmage, to the point of dissention. However, if a punt goes over the goal line computation will stop at the goal line, that is, if the ball is kicked from the forty and lands behind the goal, the kick will be computed as a forty-yard boot. . . . Another item that they take into consideration is that only the actual number of first downs will be scored. If the ball is on the eight-yard line with first and goal to go and the yardage is made, no credit of a first down will be awarded. In other words, a team will have to travel a full ten yards in order to be credited with a first down. We think that this is a good scheme but until all the scribes, etc., catch on there will probably be some divergence. We wish to congratulate HOMER H. HEIN, the former Washington state college athlete, who recently signed as the head coach at St. Martin s college. Homer is well known to this locality having been reared in Bel-lingham and Burlington. He is the brother of Mel Hein, who has been all-league center with the New York Giants in professional football for the past seven seasons. Hein graduated, from WSC in 1933. He'was track coach at bongoiew from 1933 to 1935. From 1935 to 1937 he coached all sports at Darrington. For the past two years he has been recreation directorial: Berkeley, California. Hein succeeds the colorful, friendly, Joe Paglia who resigned to enter private business. Our palm is also extended to LEONARD H. YANDLE, former Conzaga university basketball player who will be head basketball coach and assist Hein in football and track. Yandle has coached at Spokane and Multnomah junior colleges. His home is in Oregon City. Interesting sidelights—This boy Erickson from Arlington who is now beginning to look like an old man still seems to have plenty on the ball. . . . He held the single men of the college to one hit in three innings of baseball the other night. . . . Over in the College Inn they're talking of a tournament that will set a new precedent in the annals of WWC. . . . I t may be necessary to call in Dr. Bond and several other prominent mathematicians to help Dr. Cederstrom figure out the handicaps. . . Russell Jackson has threateningly announced that he will try a comeback for his 75-yard individual medley record sometime in the coming Fall. . . . Howard Hardy recently usurped Jackson's title. . . . And may we say in closing, like Royal Brougham, we, too, feel that Al Hostak is making a mistake in trying for a comeback. . . Babe Risko used to say if his hands were right, he could knock over telephone poles, but they weren't. . . and where is the Babe now? NINETY ENJOY INDIAN SALMON BAKE Salmon baked Indian style by actual Indians was the treat provided 90 people by recreation headquarters Tuesday evening. Mrs. AnT drew Joe, of LaConner. Wash., cut the salmon in small pieces and putting it on thin ironwood sticks, baked it over alder coals.

But the 6ther' lt;lay while going through my wallet I discovered an oldN American Weekly neatly crumpled in behind my driver's license. Thumbing hurriedly through the 26-page edition I was ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ K ^ ^ P ! ^ K i p S H ^ startled to see an article by a ^ ^ ^ w s ^ , , , * : H i ,,v,:,,,.,, gt;m,sss^™« "Well-khown professor in the east who says "that the eyes are gradually growing closer together and that some day there will be just one big eye in the middle of our face. v I wonder just what provision President Roosevelt is making against this national catastrophe. I think my eyes have started to move in already. But I bet mine never do grow together. They will probably just close in enough to touch at the corners and then stop. One would get quite a jolt to wake tip some morning and, putting on his glasses, discover that they w;ere useless because he had only one eye. Glasses cost money. But I" guess it won't happen for awhile yet. "Countless Ages" is the way the professor times it. So that lets all of us over 19 out of the fun. The other facial features are going to be shifted around somewhat. The large eye will not be in the center of the forehead like you thought—nnaa-nnaa-nnaa. It will be right in the middle of the physiognomy. The facial contours hitherto below the eyes will be compressed into the small space between the eye and the r chin. I don't know where you will wear your ears. Maybe they will be detachable and the stylists in Hollywood and Paris will dictate each year where they are to be worn. No provision is made for those who wear moustaches. I suppose they will wear them on their forehead or the back of their neck. This calls for quite a readjustment of our present idea as to just what constitutes a face. I think we had better just drop the word face and name it something else. But if it ever happens just keep a stiff upper lip—providing you have an upper lip left. V V • CAMPUS DAY just to change the subject {you should, change subjects eoery 1,000 miles for the best mileage) we will revive campus day. All in all (silly expression) it was very successful despite the menacing Weather. About the only ones who didnt fall into the lake or gel wet were the lifeguards. The sound system installed with the loudspeakers blaring at you from trees and rooftops Was a aery pleasing and should-be-done-oftener idea. But with all the fun I'm glad' it's past so I can start recuperating for next year's Campus day. Vet of Deep Sea Diving Tells Further of Work By Phillips Captain Art Hook, veteran deep sea diver and former navy officer, leaned on the door of his car after the assembly Friday, as he continued discussing his experiences. "Narrow escapes? How was I to know if they were narrow or not? One has no way of telling how close he came to slipping over a cliff. I came up, that's all I know." This was the way Captain Hook replied to the question asked of every man or woman who works in a dangerous position. "I started diving when two girls drowned in Lake Whatcom," said Captain Hook. "Recovered their bodies and I've been diving ever since, except for the time I spent in the navy during the war. At present I work for myself; going to Alaska each summer and working there, for the fisheries and for private individuals." Captain Hook, speaking quickly as he did in assembly, said, "Why, in the forty minutes they gave me here I was just getting started. I could go on for hours telling of my experiences. You can't tell of 20 years diving experiences in one or in five." "Yes, you can kill octopi by hand if you know how," replied Captain Hook to that query. "By grabbing the eyes with two fingers and then pushing you can generally kill them—if they don't get you first. Octopi are dangerous and there are many right here in our own waters. One doesn't need to be too scared, but one should be careful." Hook, of less than average height but very powerfully built, is a Bellingham man, having attended the Campus school here at WWC and also having been prominent on the Bellingham waterfront as its first harbor master. "I also was the first newsboy and the first motorcycle cop in Bellingham," said Hook, as he mentioned his town life. Students Voice Opinion On U. S. And Its Participation In War By JOE BELDON, Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, May 16.—As Europe's war spreads to new fronts, observers are pointing to increasing possibilities of the U. S. being involved. In the opinion of American college students, many of whom are of fighting age, what are the conditions under which the U. S. should join the Allies against Germany? Interviewers in scores of campuses have asked that question in' a Student Opinion Surveys sampling. The^ results, exclusive to the WWColIegian and other member newspapers, show definitely that the American collegian has not changed his mind, is still much opposed to rushing into the conflict. A good majority—two to one—may be included in two camps: Those who believe we should not join at all; those who would have us fight only in case the U. S. is actually threatened with an invasion. The largest group of students, one-third of the entire enrollment, would keep our armies at home and fight only if an enemy attacked on this side of the Atlantic. The smallest group registered in the poll, 2 per cent, represents the students who believe the Lf. S should join the Allies at once. Following are the complete national tabulations: Under what conditions do you believe the V. S. should Join the Allies against Germany? t. Only if there is actual threat of the U. S. being . invaded -. ....... 33% 2. U. S. should not join _ 31 3. Only if there is actual threat of any American: nation being invaded _ 15 4.

No opinion ._ 4 Those are the opinions of students after the German invasion of Scandinavia. Recent allied failures in Norway may have changed attitudes to some extent, but the trend as the war has progressed has been more and more against the U S. entering the conflict. Six months ago a Surveys poll pointed out that 36 per cent approved of sending troops against Germany if the Allies appeared to be losing. Nov only JO VOL XXXVI.—NO. 31 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday,. May 17, 194CB SHIERS, JUNKIN/MONSON WIN ASB POSTS Haggard Names Faculty Five To Talk Jobs Revamping of Student Rules Of Employment Due lii Faculty Committee Meet President Haggard has announced the organization of a faculty committee to consider the revamping of employment standards here at WWC. The present requirements of student employees were first put into operation in 1933 but since then conditions have changed. It is the aim of the newly-appointed committee to change these requirements to better fit the present situation. The committee will be composed of Loye McGee, Miss Florence Johnson, Dr. C. C. TJpshall, Miss Ethel Church and Dr. Merle Kuder. Employment Big Issue That this is a big issue in the college administration, can be seen from the fact that 200 students are employed by WWC. This group comprises one-quarter of the student body and its yearly income amounts to $30,000. Of these jobs 82 are NYA. Committee Has Three Objectives The committee has three prime objectives before it in the effort to improve student employment. It will strive to provide all the employment opportunities possible, thus establishing the necessity for scholastic standards. The required grade point average at present is 2.35. Employment will be given only to regularly enrolled students. A re-examination of the concentration of work will be made in order to break up job monopoly and thus spread the employment over the greatest possible area. Choir Appears In Assembly Both assemblies ? for next week will be presented by the students of WWC. Tuesday, the a Cappella choir, under the direction of Nils Boson, will offer a concert, while on Friday the assembly hour will be taken up by the meetings of the Womens league and the Norsemen's club. The program of the a Cappella choir will be as follows: "Salutation," (Jacobsen); "Bless the Lord," (Ippolitoff-Ivanoff); The Nightingale," (Tschalkowski); "Where'er You Walk," from "Semele," (Handel), Kenneth Johnson, tenor; "Night," (Noble); "Misty Moon," (Lutkin); "John Peel," and english hunting song, (Andrews); Noon and Night," (Hawley) and "Passing By," (Purcell) Douglas Bird, baritone; "Tuoni," (Sibelius with soloist; "The Great Angelis Host," (Grieg); "Come Again, Sweet Love Doth Now Invite," an English air, (Lutkin) with soloist; "The Old Woman," an English airr (Davis); O, Can Ye Sed Cushions?", a scotch cradle song, (Bantock); Shoot False Love, I Care Not,' "The White and Blue," Geraldine Gildersleeve will accompany the choir.

H. Hoppe Takes Directorship, For Anderson's Drama; College Students Fill Roles "The finest poetic drama ever written by an American." Thus the critics term Maxwell Anderson's "Winterset," to be produced by the Bellingham Theater Guild May 29, 30, 31, and June 1. Hope To Direct Presented under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe, WWC drama coach, and staged by Glenmore Jones, the play brings to the stage in important roles such familiar guildsmen as J. Marshall Bacon, Alice Benn, Victor Hoppe, Norman R. Burchette, and Cleon Butz. Dr. Jack C. Cotton, of the college speech department, will make his Guild debut in an important role. WWC Students Cast This nuclear cast will be supported by a group of eighteen, among whom are Glenmore Jones, Alva Potter, Mary Lou Plumb, Ronald Jones, Ronald Lund, and Norbert Cormier, the latter from WWC. This play is considered by many to be Maxwell Anderson's greatest triumph, and has been presented on both the stage and screen for several years. Its plot revolves about the conviction of the young man, "Mio" played by Cleon Butz, that his father is innocent of a crime of which he has been accused. Gripping, dramatic scenes and fine stage settings characterize the play as it is written, and the Theatre Guild intends to include all of them.

The plan seems to echo a popular conception that the poor allies are being molested by a big, bad bully named Hitler. The last victim of such sweet phrases is now dodging Nazi invaders somewhere in Holland. If beaten Hitler will probably live to see another occupant fill his shoes and climb into allied hair just as the eighty-three-year-old ex-Kaiser is seeing the Austrian paperhanger do today. Wilhelm, the old man-with-out- a-country, is a living example of an assumption that it is not the man Hitler that is wrong with Europe or Germany but existing resource and population conditions that are effervescing into a froth of militaristic madness and murder. As one observer has said Adolf is but a pimple on the face of Europe. If he is removed another will rise to take his place. An anonymous allegory to today's European situation is the one likening the entire mess to a boy with a toothache. Picture the Teutonic nation as the boy and the dictator as an ulcerated molar. Obviously a mere slap on the face and physical punishment cannot remove the ache and neither can the slapping down of Adolf Hitler remove the underlying causes of the frequent European strife. If the tooth be merely extracted, a nickel given to lessen the pain, and the cause for its decay left unmolested another ulcerated bicuspid will even tually take its place. Just so if Adolf Hitler be extracted and a million American dollars be given for his extraction another maniacal leader will fester into a dictatorship. As long as England and her allies tell the teeth to take care of themselves while they allegorically exist aplenty on the candies and goodies of the economic and populative suppression of their lessers, the world can expect the teeth to decay and give rise to ungodly pain that will become so great that even extraction and proper care will come too late to save the face of European civilization. The allegorical sore teeth are wrong, these candies and goodies are wrong and WAR IS HELL. Let's have none of it. Preservation in^Good Spirits .Much has been written and spoken concerning the tendency of some college students to raise their spirits with spirits. Perhaps the most pertinent idea on this question is the anonymous observation: "Not many college minds are important enough to be preserved in alcohol." It s The Adding Machine That Counts The staff work on last week's paper marked one of the biggest tasks the Collegian has accomplished in the many years of the college's existence. There have been six-page papers before, but never before have there been 6,250 of them. Mathematically here is how the sheet totalled: - Each paper carried 38 columns with 20 cuts utilizing 203 square inches. One hundred and thirty-two inches of advertising were circulated. Each Collegian carried 15,000 printed words and represented 75 hours of student writing, together with 42 hours of student assemblying work. gt;, the sum total of all the time and labor that went into the 6,250 papers is staggering. Ninety-three million, seven hundred and seventy-five thousand words were printed, 1,268,750 square inches of- pictorial material shown, 725,000 column inches of ads were circulated and all this went on 825 pounds of magazine paper which were divided into 37,500 pages, which were subdivided into 237,500 columns. All this represented468,750 student-veiling hours- Student • assemblying hours added up to 262,500.

Atrocity Adolf At Work From Germany, by way of Siberia, came a 64-page propaganda booklet to the Collegian office this week. The table of contents questioned sternly, "Shall We Call It Refined British Torture?" Apparently the British were interning German women in a prison, while British prisoners i» Germany, according to the magazine, live in a kind of "castle where there are tea parties, card parties, and various amusements." (Firing squads are lots of fun). In another article it was reported that the nasty British are bombing neutral Denmark, which naturally outraged peace-loving Germany, for "Germany desires a Europe in which all nations cooperate to mutual benefit. Even in wartime she is trying to achieve this aim." Czechoslovakia loves Germany dearly and under German rule is starting a program of beautification of towns and villages, under armed guard, probably). The Czechs are to be shown that their real enemy is the Jews. It seems that there are British boy scouts on a camping trip in Jugoslavia. And Germany maintains through the medium of the Magazine that these vicious boy scouts are sabotaging factories! No sir, you just can't trust those boy scouts. They turn into sabotage agents and spies every time. In Poland, Germany is bearing with a bad situation bravely and generously in the face of the atrocities perpetrated by a few misguided Poles (Jews no doubt). These vicious Poles have "murdered" at least 5,437 German soldiers and "more graves will probably be found." These soldiers were peacefully trying to help the Poles run their country. The murders were undoubtedly instigated by the British who have planned them for a long time. According to the booklet, the only reason France is in the war is because of the influence of the Jews, for the French really see eye to eye with the Germans. Instead of admitting or explaining any of the charges brought either by the allied or neutral countries, they are "officially denied." This phrase occurs with monotonous regularity throughout the magazine. The subject . of concentration camps is studiously avoided and as for anyone ever being shot in such a camp, why the whole thing is a big joke and treated as such! WALON fteoi mcl Tltfik ^ FRANCE/1918— "The whistle blew. The sign for the attack had been given. My men were just kids, but so were the enemy. It was certain to be a hand-to-hand battle. I stumbled on through the mud and darkness. A German,youth, just a boy, a bewildered expression on his face, charged toward me. I lunged forward, my rusty 12-inch bayonet poised for the fatal. thrust. Then I got "deer fever" as the boys' eyes, in that flash of time, showed fear again. I couldn't jab him. I made an attempt to side-step and use the butt of my gun. But too late, he slipped and fell, my bayonet passing completely through his body. My first thought was to withdraw the bayonet and hide myself for this was a crime, a murder, but the bayonet had stuck in the lad's backbone. Wildly, I wiggled the bloody bayonet back and forth; the boy's body no longer moved, just the cold open eyes stared up at me. Extracting the bayonet, I couldn't go further. Mentally dulled, I slid back into the trench. I lay there for three days, vomiting every meal I ate . . . " WAR!! . . . as described by an army officer to a small group of R. O. T.

KULSHAN TRIP—FOLLOW-UP Sliding down hill on tin pants is the latest sport to be taken up by the college athletes—at least that's one that captured the sportlight on last week-end's Kulshan trip, jointly sponsored by the WAA and Norsemen; Lois Reid scraped her leg in the process, but aside from that, it was a popular sport. Two of the male members of the parly, Rolf Jensen and Frank Anderson, obtained feminine help in pulling a toboggan uphill, but when the girls looked down the hill they were going down they decided that the two men could have the pleasure of sliding down alone. Saturday nighty the hikers organized an impromptu band, composed of kitchen ware, and Lila Hart's harmonica, and danced the Virginia reel and the schottische. The hike up Colman glacier, led by Chet Ullin, former WWC student, was one of the highlights of the trip.

The Utile lad deserves a hefty back-patting for his splendid work. . . . It looked nice to see Carver's golf team swamp the PLC Clads and the CPS Loggers on their road jaunt last week. . . . It's beginning to appear like the Yankees are in for a nice stay in the American league cellar. . . . The Red Sox, on the other extreme, are scampering up the flagpole like Pucinello's monkey. . . . Professor Carver, dean of Viking coaches, urges all mothers to tuck their dolls in early tonight. . . . Especially ''baby dolls." . . . There has been a lot of tennis material running around on the varsity courts this week. . . . The county and district matches have drawn the cream of the crop to vie for top honors in the racquet trade. . . . There Was a lot of good baseball displayed by members of the.faculty in the big game Tuesday. . . . Steamship Ford was a demon behind the platter, while Don Bushel hurled good ball from the rubber rectangle. . . . Buck Tisdale showed the fans how they do it in Menlo. . . . Cheezy Davis pulled a couple for the books also. . . . If McCee could only hit like he nurses a bottle, he'd be a sensation. . . . "Smiles" Hall must have forgotten to toke up on his Whealies Saturday morning. . . . Or maybe he toked up too much on the night before. • • When one of the Viking distance men misplaced one of his dogs in one of the numerous irrigation ditches on the Waldo track oval Saturday, his three-point landing brings to mind that the cinder lanes still aren't up to par for such a strong conference meet as is in the offing in one week. After a shower of rain, the track takes on the appearance of Battersby field after a winter downpour. George Mabee, Wildcat track head, had a solution for the problem: "Maybe you should erect bridges over the water holes," he suggested. Anyhow, we won't have to put up with this headache much longer, because with the coming of the new training school, it will necessitate a new track field, and please, peoples, let's have one that will make fhe rest of the conference ovals look like sand lots. • Are letter sweaters becoming cheapened at W W C ? Oscar, • the Collegian mystery man, was in a quandry. You see, Oscar went to the track meet last Saturday, and he witnessed an Ellensburg man lose third place in the 440, because he was unfortunate enough to foul the Norse runner on the first turn. The young Wildcat, a very good sport, accepted the lots of the gods phleg-matically enough, even though it cost him his letter. Oscar was inquiring about, and he found that Ellensburg requires 8 points in track for a letter and an additional 8 points for a sweater. This set Oscar to thinking. He reflected that Norse golfers have to win but 9 points in a season that includes at least 8 matches and a possible 24 points, and they annex a sweater. Tennisters have only to take a mere two points out of a possible 10 or 12 and a sweater is theirs. And on the other hand football players must grunt and toil through fall mud for 10 minutes in each of five halfs before they join the W club. Basketball, too, is tough with prospective letter winners having to play ten minutes in ten different halves before they get their just reward. It all just didn't add up to Oscar, but probably that is because he is a stupid little kid. He kinda thought that they should make the requirements for tennis and golf a little tougher.

The' hilltoppers won their only match by default. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch gave* his men small chance to win over the powerful Huskys, present lead- N ing contender for the Northern division collegiate tennis title. The Vikings received the valuable experience that is possible only by losing to a better team. Belling-ham's No. 1 man, Don Lomsdale, was the only' local to prolong the matches to three sets. . . ' The Conference championship to be held here on May 24 and 25 will wind up the Viking tennis schedule for this season. Sweepers Continue Undefeated Record Wayne Ensign's Sweepers cut loose with all the power they possessed last Friday, when they literally trounced Ken Husflcen's Viking Manor ten .to the tune of 16 to 1. The Sweepers started the first inning off with a bang, and before the Manorites could retire them, the powerful Sweepers had pushed over four runs on four hits. Booth, starting pitcher for the Viking Manor, was replaced by Hoard in the second inning, when Bernie Westmoreland of the Sweepers hit a v terrific triple into right field to -Score three runners ahead of him. The Manorites got their lone tally in the fifth when Jones, Manor outfielder, "tripled and crossed the plate on a single by Third Baseman Olson. Aleck Mitchell, the Sweepers second string pitcher, did a nice job of hurling when he held the lads from Viking Manor to a scant seven hits. Bernie Westmoreland, John Vaughn, and Russ Davis were the powerhouses of the Sweepers' batting attack, while Jones and Olson played good ball for the losers. R. H. E.

' ;; Uncle Wayne Weber, who has been handicapped with . sore, leg muscles, won his favorite-event, the broad jump, with a leap of 21-feet, %-inch; he also placed third in the century. Bridges of Ellensburg edged him but for second place. Aleck Mitchell labeled himself a strong contender for top honors in the shotpu't in'- the conference meet, May 25, when he heaved the iron ball 40-feet, 10-inches, to win the event easily. Bill Windshimer of WWC and Dan Miller of CWC tied at 11-feet, 6-inches, to share top honors in the1 pole vault. Outstanding performances of the afternoon were registered by Jones of Ellensburg in the low hurdles and the century, Orchard of Ellensburg in the 440 and 220 yard dashes, and Burke (WWC), in the mile. Second-place winners for WWC were Thommasen, Wilkinson, Dahl, and Dombroski, while Paul, Baker, Davis, and Hovde took third places for the Blue and White of WWC. Savage Leader Coach Red Reese, Savage track mentor, will be leading a powerful Cheney cinder aggregation to WWC next Saturday, where he is favored to repeat his 1939 accomplishment. The likeable eastern coach packs a splendid array of stars, and if everything goes as it has on paper, the Savages again will walk home with the WINCO cup. Biggs Terminates His Horsey Predictions In Today's Issue By Al Biggs This is positively the last in our series on who is going to win what in the Winco meet next Saturday, May 25, Waldo field, come one, come all, and why in the (naughty word) did we start the whole thing anyhow. ••» Farrier to Pole First First event we discuss this week is the pole vault. Clyde Farrier of Cheney is going to top this event. John Esvelt, Esq., alias, why we read the Journal, has this to say about Mr. Farrier: Quhote. He just missed 13 feet the other day. Unquhote. That is up there indeed. Mouse McAulay, Bill Windshimer, and Dan Paul of the Vikings, and Bob Miller, of Ellensburg, will have it out for the other spots. Mitch Might Make the Shot Shotpui honors are going to be given to Stan Anderson of Cheney or Big Mitch of the Vikings. Anderson has the longest heave to date but this warm sun 'is making Mitchell tougher and tougher. Hip-skind and Thommasen will follow in that order or vice Versa. Unka Wayne by a Winco Whisker Last and best is the broad jump. Old Uncle Wayne Weber, graying captain of the cinder squad, has nothing to fear from the rest of the. conference. On about his third jump Wayne will sail to a new conference record. Taylor, PPPPP

They will take their own lunches and cups, and will be met at the trail by the packer, who will take in their personal equipment. Leaving- Wednesday noon, the packer, the cook, Miss Ruth Weyth-man, and the work crew, plus the food, will hike in to set up camp and get the cobin in order. Fleda Whitten will be the cook, ably filling the one requirement of the job —that she be a good one. There will be a few K. P. duties for individuals, but only a few. Dinner will be waiting for the party at Kulshan cabin when they reach there Thursday evening. The first of three big campfire programs will be held that night, with singing, games, and tall-tale-telling predominating. The itinerary of the trip includes a hike up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, the Mount Baker summit climb on Saturday, with meadow and glacier trips for those who remain at the cabin, and the trip out Sunday.v The party will be made up of both seasoned hikers and inexperienced people. Don Coss, a member of the Mount Baker hiking club, will accompany the party, and C. A. Fisher, assisted by Chet Ullin, will lead the summit climb A short meeting was held Monday afternoon to instruct hikers concerning clothes and other dunnage, and to examine their shoes. Sunday, after a huge breakfast, the party will return, with four days of sunshine, gorgeous scenery, outdoor life and companionship, good food, and a whole .mountain, tucked away in their memories—all for $5. Baker Memorial Selected By Irene Fyhn Consisting of alpine plants and basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region a landscape group has been chosen as the memorial for the six students who died in the Mount Baker tragedy last summer. It is felt by the committee who have chosen this form of memorial, that bringing the alpine beauty from the Mount Baker region will be a fitting memorial for these students, Beulah Lindberg, Alice James, Hope Weitman, Julius Dornblut, Vene Fisher, and Maynard Howatt, all of whom died on Mount Baker. Nobel Hoggson, Seattle landscape architect, has ' gt;. prepared complete drawings of the ^proposed memorial. It is to be located near the path going up Sehome hill between the Science wing of the main building and Edens hall. Garden Setting Columns of basaltic rock will form the central motif around whichNwill be grouped alpine plants in their natural rock garden setting. Around the memorial itself will be a basalt rock seat, giving an amphitheater effect. On the basaltic columns will be placed bronze name-plates with the names of the students for whom the memorial is erected. The committee, which consists of both students and faculty members, reports that the U. S. forestry service has consented to the removal of the basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region, and the CCC has offered to bring the rock to the campus. Funds necessary for the building of this memorial have been subscribed by friends of the deceased, and between 1300 and $400 are available. The committee states, however, that it may become -necessary to solicit additional funds from the students attending WWC, but the committee hopes that this will not be necessary. It is the plan now to get the work well under way by the end of summer. VOL. XXXIX—NO. 3? Western Washington College of Education^Bellingham, Washington Wednesday, July 3, 1940 Headquarters For Mount Baker Climb Hayes Teaches Flute Lessons To Daughter As Hobby By Lela Kaufman "My hobby right now is trying to teach my daughter to play the flute,'' said Mr. Creighton E. Hayes, social science teacher of West Seattle high school, who is pihch-rHttihgfor Dr. GrimTfor thesummer session of the training school. He spends the week-end with his family at his summer home on the Stillaguamish river where his wife and daughter, Beatrice Jean, stay when they are not taking care of the lawn at their Seattle home. As yet the flute teaching has been indifferently successful, and Beatrice Jean is still just an excellent piano player for a 12-year-old. Interested in the history of Asia and Central America, Mr. Hayes offers an elective course entitled History of the Pacific Rim to seniors at West Seattle high school. For one semester they orient themselves to a study of Russia, Japan, China, and the Pacific islands; for the next they study the history of Mexico, Central America, and Canada. He finds that most of the people he meets are quite ignortant regarding the history of these nations which he thinks will become increasingly important to Americans, especially dwellers of the Pacific coast. One of his ambitions is to visit United States' neighbors about which he reads and thinks so much. Asked about his other interests, the young - looking, gray - haired instructor smiled and said, "That's about all. Occasionally I play a very mediocre game of golf and once in a while I crawl up with fear and trembling on a horse." Having received his undergraduate education at Washington state college at Pullman, Mr. Hayes, has, ACE Plans Lunch At Edens Hall WWC's Association for Childhood Education has planned a luncheon to be held next Wednesday, July 10, at 12:00 noon in the Edens hall club-room off the main dining hall. Informal talks will be given by students from various ACE groups both in and outside the state. ACE members and .anyone interested in primary education, are invited to attend. Tickets may still be obtained for 35 cents at noon today in the main hall, and. also next Monday at noon and from 2:00 to 4:30 p. m. July 8, 9, and 10, there will be a display in the main hall of ACE publications including the "Childhood Education" mag«*me and various pamphlets. Anyone wishing to purchase any cad of these publir cations iWf do so at this time. as he expressed it, "Kind of smat-tered my education over the Pacific coast." He has studied at Stanford, University of Oregon, and the University of Washington. A typical Washingtonian, and proud of it, he was born in Olympia. All of his teaching has been in Washington, much of it at Lincoln high school in Seattle. Somewhat overwhelmed by an interview to which there was no word limit, he kept declaring that there was nothing about him to make good reading, that this was the first time anyone had cared about the life of a simple school teacher. He volunteered . that one of his most vivid impressions of Bellingham has been the way everyone has gone out of his way to make it easy for a newcomer. Mr. Hayes visited Dr. Grim this spring to learn what the program was to be. Then Dr. Grim spent the first week of summer school doing all he could to make his work easier. "Of course it isn't necessary for everyone to be so kind, but i appreciate it," Mr. Hayes said. Twelve More Get Positions Twelve more students have been assigned positions through the appointment bureau as reported by Miss Hopper. They are the following: Ralph DeBruler, Ocean City, fifth to the eighth; Helen Griffith, Lake Burien, music; Leonard Rod-land, Bay Center, seventh and eighth; Alice Molenkamp, Sedro- Woolley, seventh and eighth; Kenneth Bernet, Sultan, seventh and music; Blanche Campau^ Sultan, fifth; Eleanor Wfflison, Oak Harbor, third;,Jean•Cowie, Marysvffle- Shoultes school, first to third; Marie Beebe, Port Gamble, primary; Doris Woodcock, Sequim, sixth and sev-enth; Frank Anderson, Maple Valley, fifth and sixth; Lois Reid, Maple Valley, second and third, and music. Eighty-six Students Take Mantoux Tests on Monday Mantoux tests were given, to 86 summer students Monday morning between 10 o'clock and 12. They were administered in the college health department by Dr. Earle Gibb of the Gibb clinical laboratory and assisted by. Miss Dorothy Run-die, nurse. Miss May Meade- had general charge of the procedure, with Miss Helen Hostetter and Miss Nadine Toler secretaries. The college bears all costs of the tuberculosis indicating tests. Many took advantage of this opportunity because a state law requires that each teacher have a Mantoux test. Wednesday, 48 hours later, a follow- up reading was given by Miss Meade and Miss Rundle. Questionable cases were referred to the Gibb laboratory and all persons showing a positive reaction are required to have an X-ray follow-up. The cost of the X-rays must be taken care of by the student. Health Exams Completed Health examinations were given to approximately 400 new students. The entire first week and Monday and Wednesday of the following week were devoted to the routine inspection. Supervised by Miss May Meade, the examining was done in the PE building. . Physicians who were employed by the college health department were Drs. William C. Keyes, Donald C. Keyes, Howard C. Keyes, C. L. Long-streth, F. C. Rykken, and A. M. Son-neland. Only two students were eliminated from enrollment because of ill •health. "The students as a whole are in pretty good physical shape," stated Miss Meade; ''although they need more rest." ' There are to be no general checkups of the summer health examinations, although where such cases showing a need for it, will be fol-lowed- up.. Regional Meet Draws Near Final Climax Kefauver, Ogburn Speeches Summarized; Sessions End Today By Victor Dickinson "Democracy is on trial. The threat to democracy is not all in Europe but lies chiefly in the United States and our ability to meet the challenge to make democracy work," was the key statement made by Dean Grayson N. Kefauver of Stanford University in his address before the regular assembly Tuesday morning. Dean Kefauver's speech was a part of the three-day meeting of the Educational Confer^ ence of Pacific Northwest Affairs which concluded this morning. Tells Experiences Dean Kefauver recounted his experiences in the European capitals of Paris; Berlin, Moscow, Stockholm and London, and his conferences with leading educators of these cities. Maintaining that education cannot be understood unless it is seen as a part of the social and cultural patternofc a country. Dean Kefauver searched for the social aims behind the educational system of each country he visited. He pointed out the striking contrast in the thinking of the. educational leaders of Berlin and Moscow as compared with Paris.iand London^ The importance of democracy in education was1 outlined by Dr. Kefauver who placed emphasis on the concept of democracy within a staff of teachers' democracy in student life and control of the school;j-Jde^- •-. mbcracy in the classroom andftd£^: mocracy as it affects the community. Dr. Kefauver's address ended in a note of optimism but he stated, "We haven't fully arrived in America. We need to have faith. We must capture the imagination of youth. We cannot present pessimistic faces and teach democracy. We must have trust for we cannot afford to fail.

A SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION has just been concluded here at WWC. It is the first of its kind ever to be held on our campus. It marks another milestone in the college's march toward national prominence. Dr. Haggard is deserving of praise for his hard work and diligence in bringing this program to our doorstep. Many worthwhile subjects and points have been discussed and passed on to you. Do with them what you will; you are the best to judge. May the Collegian express itself as representative of the student body in thanking Dean Kefauver, Dr. Ogburn, George Yantis, Kenneth Warner, Julia Tappan, Anne Raymond, and the other prominent educators who were here, for the time they have given us. We hope that this visit will not be their last. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WAS THE RECIPIENT of an open letter on June 3 signed by thirty-five editors of college newspapers in twenty-four states throughout the country demanding that America remain at peace and that "this generation, born into the first World war, shall not die in the second." The letter was released from the national office of the American Student Union, 874 Broadway, through which the joint signatures were gathered. "Will our diplomas be turned into bayonets?" the editors ask, charging that proposed loans to the allies, the President's armament program, and his speech to the Pan-Scientific Congress "indicated clearly the road you have chosen—the Wilsonian road to war." The editors stated that they had learned a lesson from the last war and that "this nation will serve humanity best by solving the problem? of our own people, by building a forward-moving democracy, by refusing to aid and abet in any way a war which serves no justice, no people, no true progress. Walter Lippman in a current issue of the Reader's Digest expresses himself in a different frame of mind. "The only practical plan for American defense is to organize at once —with government subsidies if necessary—a vast expansion of our plants and personnel for making instruments of war. What those facilities can produce immediately we should sell to the allies. With those weapons they may be able to withstand the attack. Their successful defense will provide us with the indefinitely precious time to develop our capacity to produce adequate armaments. Then if the allies fall, we shall at least have made a start toward preparing ourselves for the emergency which will confront us." With the entry of Russia into the Balkan situation and possibly into the second World war, both of these philosophies may have their chance to rest as we grab grandstand tickets to watch two dictatorial monarchs fight their duel to the death in the arena of the world. To have a safe and sane Fourth of July—don't be insane! TEGENFELDT, WWC ALUMNI, BURKE BRINGS CLASSROOM LEAVES FOR BURMA 'FILM TO WWC Rev. Herman Tegenfeldt will leave sometime this fall for Rangoon, Burma, India, where he will be in charge of two large native high schools. Tegenfeldt was graduated from this institution in 1933, and taught for three years in the Seattle schools. He has since been graduated from the Bethel Theological seminary at St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Tegenfeldt, who attended WWC as Ruth Pierson, and their small son will also go to Burma. AMrMOVN J. W. Burke will bring the entire set of Erpi films to the college on July 15, where a program will be arranged for their showing. A list of the titles may be found in Dr. Haggard's outer office. Those interested should look over the list and make requests for those which apply to them. Paramount short subject films of a recreational-amusement nature will come sometime during the summer. There will be no charges. Opening Saturday Dear Ma: Reporter Reviews Conference By Victor Dickinson Having as its theme "The Role of Education in Utilizing Pacific Northwest Resources," the Educational conference on Pacific Northwest Affairs opened in the College auditorium Monday morning, July 1. Dr. Kenneth O. Warner, of the Northwest Regional council, spoke briefly on the trends or directions of the council's work. He stressed the implications of the many social and economic" problems of the Pacific Northwest and pointed out the need for experts on human and natural resources to refresh the thinking and determine how materials of value could be fitted into the school curriculum. Rettie Speaks' Following this short introduction James C. Rettie, Portland, senior planning technician, discussed the subject, Social and Economic.Problems. Cultivation Traced C. C. Johnson, Spokane, of the soil Conservation service traced the history of soil cultivation and development of machinery to the present day. Mr. Johnson pointed out that land in the U. S. is being destroyed at the rate of 200 forty-acre farms a day by misuse of the soil! Concluding the morning session,, George Griffith of the U. S. forest service discussed the dependence of this region on forest economy and assured his audience that under a plan of "sustained yield" management our forests should last forever. George P. Yantis of Olympia addressed the conference in its Monday evening meeting on the subject "A Challenge to the Pacific Northwest" in which he outlined the use and misuse of our material resources without thought of the future. Mr. Yantis, president of the Northwest Regional Council, pointed out that the real test of government and the economic system comes in times of' depression and economic stress. The real problems we have to deal with are those of making a living. The speaker's closing remarks dealt with the importance of meeting the challenge and building a scaffolding for the real America by the solving the problem of consumer demand.' NOW Dear Ma: Summer school ain't so bad after all. It ain't no harder to get here at 7:35 than it was at 8:05 last • quarter. There's a lot of teachers here now. The only way you can tell them is that they wear stockings. Yon know, it used to be that women who wanted to forget men went to a convent; now all they have to do is go to WWC. I tried to get the principals of education, like yon said, but they all had wives or girl friends. It's sure a bad business when people ask if I have a teaching position. When I say, "No,* they're sorry for me. When I say, "Yes," they're sorry for the kids. It's time for my beauty sleep and you know I need it. Love, BABY. DOROTHY PETERSON INJURED Injured while playing in the snow, Dorothy Peterson was admitted to the school hospital Sunday morning. The accident occurred Saturday evening during the Church mountain, expedition. Examination by Dr. Ralph Taylor showed a dislocated cartilage in the knee. While the injury is not serious, convalescence takes some time. The Teacher and The Public By W. W. Haggard, President In a democracy public opinion is not shaped by a governmental department, such as found in certain European countries. In the United States the government or party in power attempts to justify its program but the opposition is privileged to point out the weakness of this program. The individual citizen is free to appraise the pros and cons^ of the argument and votes accordingly. In other words, sovereignty resides in the electorate. This situation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the state, exists in the school district. Every year the voters of the school district elect members of the board of education, which may be a phase of appraising the school. It is very evident therefore that the school cannot be thought of as separate from the public. The American people have great faith in their public schools. Exceptions in the local district are found occasionally but the explanations of the lack of faith are usually Dr W. W. Haggard related to the particular type of school program offered or the lack of understanding of that program on the part of the people. Blind support of the schools by the tax payer will be found less prevalent in the future than it has been in the past for the reason that the competition for the tax dollar is becoming increasingly necessary as a part of a long range program. There are several ways in which the teacher may participate in a program of school interpretation. Doing a good job in the classroom is of • first importance but not enough. To mention a few aspects of the teacher and school interpretation, a very human approach to the problems of the child always enlists the support of the parent. Participating in community affairs never fails in creating a bond between the school and ihe people. I n intelligent presentation of school problems through the press, the radio, a ^ ^ a ^ t e a c h e r association in which the individual teacher may have a very important part enhances understanding. EoIrVnoL: This is the first of a series of articles by President Haggard in regard to teacher relations with the public. Fiftv-Seven Student Teachers Enrolled Assisting the Campus school supervisors for the summer schoo are fifty S t u d e n t teachers. In most instances three teachers are assigned to a grade; howevtr, tht fourth grade and the kindergarten have four ^ B e s i d e s the thirty-two persons student-teaching in the various rooms, t h e r f S e nineteen taking the course in remedial teaching The music department has four student teachers; the industrial arte department, one. and the speech department one. • .

The stunt in this show is to get the greatest amount of suggestion with as little stage setting as possible. Two tables and a few chairs convert the stage into the respective dwellings of the Webb and Gibbs families, while Main street runs along behind these groupings of furniture. Kathryn Smith as Mrs. Webb, and Margaret Rabb, as Mrs. Gibbs, prepare breakfast in pantomime going busily from imagined kitchen sink to the make-believe cupboards. Carolyn Kuhn as Emily Webb, Paul Glenn as George Gibbs, and Beverly Walker as small sister, Rebecca, eat hurriedly in gobbling pantomimics WE CALL FOR . AND DELIVER and hurry up center and off to school. The most important character, is the stage manager played by Gordon Morton. In a rather flat, matter- of-fact' New England voice, he genially comments on ' the doings of "Our Town." He acts in various roles; first, the village druggist, and later as the village preacher. Early in the play he calls on Victor Dickinson,, as Editor Webb, to explain "Our Town" to the audience and gets fussy Professor Willard, portrayed by Marshall Bacon, to give facts and statistics about the place. "The short and simple annals of the poor"—this is the stuff of "Our Town." Broadway loved it; what Hollywood did with it will be of great interest, and what the division of drama does with it will be fully revealed the nights of Thursday and Friday, July 11 and 12. 205 PROSPECT PHONE g 67 Store Your Household Goods While on Your Vacation at the 'TBUCft STDMCt MMOVMft The RIGHT Place For Storage Space 1328 State St. Phone 70 UNION PRINTING CO.

WHATCOM COUNTY DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION BELLINGHAM LYNDEN WWC Softballers Drop Games To University of Washington With bad luck stalking- them all the way, an ill-fated WWC all-star softball team dropped a doubleheader to the University of Washington last Monday. The University won the opener, 7-2, and again walloped the Vikings in the nightcap,. 9-3. The games were played in Seattle. The ill-fated nemesis first struck when Sam Carver's 1938 Buick plugged up and burnt a few necessary items that usually keep the vehicle rolling. This strange act of fate occurred in Everett and the boys had to hail a taxi to complete the trip. The return trip to Bellingham was made by bus. In the first game the Vikings' big inning came in the sixth'when Sou-kiip beat out a roller and Landon, next up, hit a home run. Landon hit another earlier in the game that was tabbed for four bases, but he couldn't locate first base and was held to a double. Big Charley Erick-son from Arlington pitched fine ball for Bellingham, but several unearned runs led to his defeat. Butch Dombroski pitched the second game for the Vikings. It was again Landon who paced the WWC gang. The dark-headed youngster collected a double, a home run, a single, a walk, and struck out once for his day's total. ' Dick Johnson, former Husky football end, pitched the last three or four innings for the Washington team and struck out five of the Bellingham outfit.

Hilarious Comedy Premiere Coming "Dear Ruth", a hilarious two act comedy, opens in the blue room of Edens haU Thursday, November 21. As WWC's first dramatic performance of the year, "Dear Ruth" stars an all-student cast under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe. Rehearsals have been long and hard with a bit of humor all t h e time. Working under a terrific time handicap, Mr. Hoppe has selected an outstanding cast. Helping shape a smooth performance are: student director, Plans For Big Formal Made Vivian Franklin; technical director, Carl Lindell; and script artist, Phyllis Threlkeld. Members of the cast are: Dora, the maid, Vivian Franklin; Mrs. Edith Wilkins, the m o t h e r , Suda Jean Owen; M i r i a m Wilkins, adolescent d a u g h t e r , Clarena Fenton; Judge Henry Wilkins, the father, Edwin Cooper; Ruth Wilkins, charming oldest daughter, Irene Chetwood; Lt. William Seawright, Ruth's military suitor, Mike Smith; Albert Rummer, Duth's fiance, Glenn Burgess; Martha Seawright, the Lt.'s sister, Martha Moriaghan; Sgt. Chuck Vincent, the Lt.'s friend, John Peterson; Harold Klobbermeyer, a sailor, Carl Lindell. This comedy, written by Norman Kasner and first produced in New York, December 13, 1944, was a tremendous hit. It has just been released for amateur use. With an able director and a sparkling cast, WWC's performance of "Dear Ruth" promises to be equally successful. Complete runing time for the play will be November 21, 22 and 23. Under the general chairmanship of Bob Moblo, plans are being f o r m u l a t e d for the Norseman's Dance to be held November 23. Ticket sales will be limited to 200 because of insufficient space. They may be purchased in the main hall for a dollar a couple. An autumn theme will be carried out by the decoration committee: Clark Brown, Pat Mc- Evoy and Jim Roberts. Arrangements are being made for a floor show by Carl Lindell, Richard Green and Russell Hilton. O t h e r committee members are: refreshments, Bob Bain, Lionel Livermore, and Art Run-nestrand; publicity, W a r r en Beecroft, Jack Graham, and Don Foster. Ticket sales will be handled by Mickey Smith, Leroy Roand, and Don Anderson, while Don Brown, Jim Fickle, and Vic Hughes will take care of the check room. Ernie Dawe, Glenn Barry, John Griffith, and Gor-den Adel are on the clean-up committee, and Fred DeBruler is making arrangements for the music. Tory's Wolw by halldor karason It seems to be a truth that in, reporting the activities of any organization more publicity is given to events which show lack of cooperation than to events which give evidence of cooperation. That is true of the United Nations Organization. The particular agency of the UN which is being criticized is the Security Council, and, specifically, the veto power of the permanent members: Ch m a » F r5n c e ? Russia, Great Britain, and the United States. The chairman of the United States delegation to the San Francisco Conference, Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., then Secretary of State, in his report to the President, said: ". . . The Security Council is not the enforcement agency of a world state, since world opinion will not accept the surrenda-of sovereignty which the establishment of a world state would demand. The Security Council, therefore, depends upon the Sovereign member states for the weapons both of persuasion and of force through which it will attempt to keep the peace. . . . The voting procedure of the Security Council is expressive of the actualities of the possession and exercise of power in the modem world. The five principal military powers of our time are made permanent members of the council. ..Furthermore, in order that their possession of power and their use of power may be made to serve the purpose of peace, it is provided that they shall exercise their power only in agreement with each other and not in disagreement." CRITICISM JUSTIFIED Mr. Stettinius, it is evident, approved of the veto power. He considered it desirable that the five major powers should be in complete accord on all decisions which affect the peace of the world. However, the question has arisen as to what affects the peace of the world and what does not. That appears to be the basis for the present dispute over the veto power. Russia has used the veto power nine times. France has used it once. The other three powers have not used their right to veto. This does not pre-suppose that they will never use their veto power. It suggests only that they have not yet found it advantageous to do so. The use of the veto power by Russia has been sharply criticised, and no doubt much of that criticism is justified One of the latest vetoes by Russia was the veto of the applications for membership in the UN submitted by Ireland, Portugal, Trans Jordan, Albania, and Outer Mongolia. " / . Membership in the United Nations is open to all peace-loving stales which accept the obligations contained in the present Charier and., in the judgment of the organization, are able and willing to carry out those obligations. " 2 . The admission of any such stale to membership in the United Nations will be affected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. It would seem that those two provisions conflict as long as the power of veto on such matters remains with one of the five permanent members of the Security Council. That seems to be, in effect, what has happened in the case of Russia's veto of the membership application. SEVEN OF ELEVEN It must be made clear that all decisions, of the Security Council are not subject to the veto power. Only those decisions which are not "procedural" can be vetoed. Procedural decisions are made by an affirmative vote of at least seven of the eleven members. Unfortunately, however, the question of what is procedural has not been adequately defined. In the Charter it is stated: "The Security Council shall adopt its own rules of procedure . . ." That seems to leave it up to the Security Council to define "procedural matters". The United States is not attempting to get the Security Council members to arrive'at such a definition. PERMANENT PEACE « Permanent world peace cannot be achieved without compromise and understanding. The UN, since it is the result of democratic action, is not as yet perfect in all its details. There will, inevitably, be many differences of opinion and much need for compromise before the UN fulfills the high purpose for which it was founded. We in America, with our history of democratic compromise and political opposition, should be among the first to understand that a.difference of opinion in the UN is not necessarily an indication that the UN cannot succeed and achieve its purpose. It is the democratic way to discuss controversies openly and to seek a solution which will be in the best interest of alL There is no other logical way to international understanding and cooperation. There is no other way to world peace.

New Radio Program Promotes Public Interest In College Taking to the air-waves, the radio speech class, directed by Miss Alma Madden is presenting the program "College News in Review" each Thursday at 4:45 p. m. over KVOS local radio station. Designed to promote public interest in WWC, these programs consist mainly of school news, personality sketches and interviews. However, programs vary to meet special needs and events. An example is the play "Deadline for Living" w h i c h is ACappella Choir Debut Tuesday Music will highlight the assembly scheduled for November 12 to honor Armistice Day and American Education week. This will mark the first apearance of the a cappella choir which open the program with a group of selections. Numbers to be featured will be: Let There Be Music (an original musical setting by the director, Mr. Bernard Regier); An Eriskay Love Lilt (Robertson); and Holiday Song (Shumann). The choir's performance will be followed by two talks on education: "World Education in the Atomic Age" will be discussed by Joanne Plumb, and Jess Bailey will speak on "Education for Peace." Reading of the Honor Roll by Don Packard in recognition of WWC's war dead will conclude the program. Faculty members responsible for the assembly are: Dr. W. W. Haggard, presiding; Mr. Bernard Regier, music; Mr. Victor Hoppe and Miss Alma Madden, speeches. scheduled for broadcast November 14, in honor of Education Week. In the broadcasts an attempt has been made to follow the trend of the WWC Collegian. Features of the paper that interest students most are incorporated in the radio shows. The task of editing and presenting programs falls to the eight students who constitute the radio speech class. Because of the small class each student is insured a part in every broadcast. Two students act as arrangers and announcers each week while the remainder provide the body of the show. STUDENTS TALENTED Equipment for the broadcast, the studio and the technical production are provided by station KVOS. "The class is composed of talented people," declared Miss Madden. "Among the students are Hugh Vit-ter, who has appeared as vocalist with dance bands, and Carl Lindell, who arranged Special Service Shows while serving in the army. "We hope to stimulate an interest in our program among the students, as well as the general public," Miss Madden continued, "and I hope they will tune in "College News in Review' whenever possible." •Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Kipling once remarked "east is east and west is west but ne'er the twain shall meet" but nobody has ever mentioned the possibilities of north and south getting together.

Those argonizing groans on first floor have been traced to Dollyi.McArthur who spent last Sunday at Mt.

Pauline L. seems to have her social calendar fairly well organized at the moment so guess it's safe to say Frank H. seems to be occupying most of her time of late. „^ Remember we vote for the Homecoming Court this Friday and you're making a fatal mistake if you don't vote for June Danielson . . . 'cause she's really a wonderful combination of beauty and personality. V V EDENS HALL Most lively topic for conversation this week was the issue brought about by the Hospice Inn serenaders. The girls seem to think things have come to a sad state of affairs when the first sign of initiative and the first gesture of congeniality is nipped in the bud. It was a beautiful serenade, more conducive to pleasant dreams than disturbance of the peace, and was greatly appreciated by an enthusiastic audience. We have two new inmates this week: Pat Larson from Sedro- WooIIey, and Joanne Jude from Bellingham. Hap Wittier told me she went wading m Lake Whatcom last week-end. We did have nice weather, but I didn't think it was that good. Must have been some added attraction. V V YMCA Things are beginning to hum at the "Y" this month, with many activities being well underway. The Homecoming display, which is being handled by capable Carl Lindell, promises to be a good one, as Carl has put much time and effort into its formulation. A Homecoming skit is also being planned by entertainment chairman, Doug Roberson, and will star such celebrities as president Arnold Turner, San Fran-ciscos' gift to WWC. The A.S.M. basketball team, led by captain Bill Tulin, although not too impressive in the percentage column, has been playing good ball and "showing lots of fight. Much credit is due to Ed Black, Cliff Sharp, Milton Orphan, and Captain Tulin for their sterling play. Miles Standishes' birthday party, held in his room the other night and attended by many, was a howling success. For further information see Clark Brown. And by the way if any of you girls know who the handsome cashier at Bdens Hall is at lunch time, it is none other than A.S.M.'s Alf Courtney, from Sequim, Washington. V V SEHOME HOUSING The Peterson's future off-spring should be well outfitted after the shower, given by Cassie Foster, Wednesday evening . . . Bob and Dawn spent last week-end cruising around Everett in the father-in-laws' brand new car . . . The kids bring shopping bags around for trick or treats in this town, but giving 'em pretzels seems to give the wrong impression. V V HOSPICE INN Well, those mid-terms are over at last—now to wait for the deficiency reports. Of course, for some of us the work is never done—at least that's what Jack Francis says when he is questioned about his absence from the social circles of Hospice Inn the past few days. He has a 15,000 word theme to write! • The regular housemeeting was held Tuesday night. After the usual business meeting, an attempt was made to revive the old tradition of serenading the girls of Edens Hall, but someone evidently doesn't appreciate our singing. Oh. well, "cops is such nice people!" Frank Iroala shouldn't have asked for "Five Minutes More" because it made him late for the housemeeting. He looks so cute in a grass skirt—such a swing and sway! New members of the House of Hospice during the past two weeks are Dennis McGillivary, from Anacortes; Suart Petrie and Dick Wright from Seattle. FOREST INN V V Boy, here I am home at 250 North Forest (alias Forest Inn), after a hectic day of classes. If I had Shirley Van Moorhem's ability to fall instead of walk downstairs, I mightn't be so tired or maybe if I had Melba Leh-mann's ability to toot a horn I could toot myself into a ride home nights. I'd even be satisfied if I could cook like our wonderful housemother, Mrs. Sundquist, but I can't even boil water. Guess our house president, Ruby McCormick, is as tired as I am. I'd like to explore into her night life sometime. So, pardon me while I go catch a wink, (too bad it couldn't be a man.) V V DANIELS HALL Some people are inclined to believe that Seattle will someday join with Everett to form one city, but from the looks of Daniels Hall it will come clear to Bellingham. We have no less than ten Ballard boys living there besides a few stragglers from other parts of that fair city. Most of these boys will be used in our Homecoming skit as you can tell they are musically inclined by the cords in their neck. (It's a pun son.) We are still looking fox-one of these jokers that can sing HI-C. So far they all sing low-sy. Jerry Connell is back home after taking a turn for the nurse while in the hospital. Sounds from a Top-side room: John Terry asked Leroy Wade if he would be happy with $10,000 and Wade came up with the answer women or dollars? . . .

Definition of a Danieleer: A guy" who pays attention without intention . • • This visiting of Mel in my room after the eleven o'clock curfew is going to have to cease. It makes Amber bitter and she is slowly but surely starving us two clowns to death. Speaking of Lindbloom, Lappy saw him chasing some girl down 14th street the other night and told him to save his' energy for the gridiron wars. V V SENIOR HALL November 3 is a date that will no doubt go down in the history of Senior Hall. It was our first open house. From 3 to 5 o'clock there was a constant stream of people coming and going. Tea, cake and cookies were served while the Misses Lois Kirig and Alice Attwood led tours showing the house to those who wished to see it. Perhaps the most exciting event of the week was the initiation of the freshmen last Wednesday. At 6 o'clock in the morning the cruel, brutal upperclassmen pounded into our room with the re-mark,." Get up, youse bums!" Then they told us that we had to be downstairs in 15 minutes fully dressed, and carried on from there. Couple United In Wedlock The marriage of Miss Hester Kent, daughter of Mrs.| T. B. Kent, to Mr. Arthur G. Dodds, son of Mrs. A. G. Dodds, of Phoenix, Arizona, took place October 11 at the home of the bride's mother in Seattle. Atendants of the couple were Lt. and Mrs. James F. Wright, of this city. The bride wore "a black dressmaker suit with black accessories and carried a single white orchid on a prayer book which had been given her by the groom. Mrs. Wright wore a geranium red suit with black accessories. For the wedding trip through Washington, south to the Grand Canyon, the bride donned a gold top coat. " • The couple will live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, while the groom continues his m e d i c a l c o u r s e at Marquette university. He is a graduate of Baylor university, and participated in-all but two of the South Pacific campaigns. The bride, who formerly lived here, attended the local high school and Western Washington College. Several relatives and friends from Bellingham were guests at the wedding. Sophs Hold Party; Socles Plenty Loud Swell; best ever held; couldn't have been better; was the opinion of members of the sophomore class who attended the scavenger hunt and party held Saturday . evening in the lounge. ' The scavenger hunt was the feature of the evening with the winning team receiving a box of chocolates. Articles collected by the winning team ranged from a banana, cookie cutter and used tomato can, to a corn stalk. The rules set a time limit of one hour and prohibited the use of autos. Refreshments, consisting of cocoa, coffee and doughnuts, were served in the lounge following the hunt. The remainder of the evening was spent dancing, with special tags, novelty, individual, and the sock dance headlining the evening's entertainment. The prize for the couple with the loudest socks was awarded to Pat Temperley and Glen Bergess, "the socks actually spoke for themselves." stated the prize awarder, Ted Gary.

St. Martin's Next Grid Classic ROUGH PLAY . . . Badly crippled; a game, but reserve shy Viking eleven crossed the Cascades again, only to come back bumped up some more. Rather harshly used were the Norsemen who went over to play football under college rules . . .Wound up playing under profession rules . . . plus some Marquis of Queens-bury additions. • • HIGHLIGHTS . . . Wally Miller, in the thick of things, had a clipping penalty against him. Later on game officials missed the retaliation effort of a North Idaho player against Wally . . . Sent to the showers for unnecessary roughness was Del Peterson. Del must have sensed the real spirit of the game . . . Missing the try for point, and then being jumped squarely upon by opposing linesmen was the rare treat in store for Byron Griibb . . . Inci-dently Lappy galloped. out upon the greensward twice in more than mild protest. • Which still makes just two times he's done that sort of thing during his coaching career . . . A good time was had by all, and. brotherly love was conspicuous by its absence in this-tussle, under Idaho skies . . . The Viks, short of man power, were _ hardly prepared for the bruising, more than rough tussle they Were forced to play. . * * ' ' • STANDOUTS . . . Outstanding indeed, has been the play of our blue and white tackles. Not to be overlooked are the steady, sterling performances of Kerr, Dodge, Hammer, Grubb, and Del Peterson at the guard positions.. Hammer, by the way, was another Viking not present at the Lewiston game. Lappy, in a -measure, was pleased over certain elements of the Viking's offense. Moving with machine like precision, they reached the ten yard line several times, but lacked the final punch to put it over. Pinal word from Coach Lappenbusch was that outstanding for North Idaho, were two tall ends who could really snare those passes. * * QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS . . . Why did the North Idaho boys miss their signals so often? The North Idaho squad seemingly is composed of two teams, one purely defensive, and the other wholly offensive. The defensive eleven never could quite get its signals straight. Has anyone seen Nick Zender around? So far this year the hill top school seems to be without a Zender. * * INTRAMURAL MURALS . . . Basketball as played in the intramural league was given a severe shakeup, when three top teams lost three star players to Coach McDonald of the varsity. Transferring to the Viking regulars are Kink of the Southenders; Clemens of Daniels, and Bakers of the Unknowns. The old intramural spirit is back again. Listen to what these rival members of the intramural bowling teams have to say of their teams pennant chances. Jay Lapp, of Lapp's Clip Joint: "Competition is rough, nevertheless I believe we have a good chance to finish on top." George Jurgens, of Bushnell's: "Give us five more good men, and we're in. It's a good race as far as the rest of the league is concerned." Jack Francis, of Hospice A, current leaders: "We're a cinch to win. It's a one team race." Don Brown, of Hospice B: "The league is rather well balanced. We won't finish last." Warren Beecroft, of the Collegians: "The rest of the teams haven't a chance. Just wait until the Collegians get to rolling." End of quotes. These rather caustic remarks ought to stir up a hornet's nest among our intramural bowling teams. * * THIS 'N THAT . . . Coach Lappenbusch took time out Monday eve, for a talk at Nooksack Valley high school. Viking Frank Gayda has a brother, Eddie by name, who is making history with the Washington State Cougars. He has cinched a starting post with the basketball team. Last week saw the all important Pacific Lutheran and Central Washington tussle end in a 27 to 20 win for Ellensburg, keeping it the only undefeated, untied Winco team. Booming along in second place came the Eastern Washington Savage. Whitworth was annihiliated 45 to 0, by them. One tie is the only blotch on the Eastern record. Tomorrow should see a hectic game with the Central-Eastern clash at Ellensburg. This one should decide the Winco league championship. Our Vikings are travelling by bus to Olympia, where a tangle with St. _, Martin's is on the ticket. This is a Viking chance to tear themselves away from a cellar berth. Thirty-seven men will go. Social committee is taking care of plans for an extra bus or so, for rooters who may want to accompany the team. That's all for this week. FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS The predictions of last week were as usual Way off the beam but I will venture to say that it was not the second guessers fault on the whole. The Vikings lost to a team by three touchdowns, but I don't believe the opposition was three touchdownz better than our boys. We pushed Idaho all over the field until our boys tired in that Idaho air and bogged down. They had a defensive team and another that they used for the offense, therefore having a fresh team on the field all the time, while Lappy just didn't have enough experienced reserves. Perhaps if we played them over here where our first string could play a full 60 minutes of ball, the score would have been diffeernt, but who knows. Such is football and the reason why coaches gel gray. Last week three people picked Idaho to win: Widge Black and Bill Miller coming the closest on the score, picking Idaho by two touchdowns and 19-0, respectively. Here We go again, so keep your fingers crossed and. hope the Blue and While's luck will take a change for the best tonight and Monday. LARRY HOLCOMB .".\ Popular Lynden athlete, before his college days: "What is this—the battle for the cellar? I'd say it is about time the Viks won a game or two. Maybe these two." DR. KEITH A. MURRAY . . . popular historian around this den of higher knowledge: "They say we are going to win one this year, perhaps one of these it is." GERRY WOODWARD . . . who hails from the home of St. Martins, and buys the poorer class cokes when they are thirsty: "Well, we will certainly beat St. Martins. We'll beat Whitworth, too, if we get just a little oomph." BOB SHUETTE . . . former Red Raider now enrolled here: "I believe St. Martins will win this one 13-6 and we should beat Whitworth." DEAN AMDAL . . . former Ballard football player: "The way the Vikings have been playing it is anyones game and the Whitworth game depends on what we have left after the St. Martins engagement." I n closing let's take a shot at the score in the countries most important game tomorrow: Notre Dame 20, Army 14. THE PASTIME BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOE PAGLIA . .

Season's Big Game Army vs. Notre Dame Both Notre Dame and Army's unblemished records will be at stake tomorrow afternoon' when these two football powers square off in the 33rd game of their classic series at New York's Yankee Stadium. Army, triumphant in 21 consecutive games, has been installed as slight favorites over the Irish, but it was expected to be an even up contest by kickoff time at Yankee Stadium. The Irish have been pointing to this one since the opening of the season and will go all out to hand the Cadets their first loss in three years. Johnny Lujack, whose passing contributed to Notre Dame's 26-0 victory in 1943, will once again be at the helm of the Irish after a lapse of three years. The winner of this football classic may go a long way towards deciding the mythical national f o o t b a ll champs. —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Ronald Dodge hails from Forks, Washington, and is a one year let-terman in football.

So, he's passed the buck and I'm taking a hand at getting all those nice juicy little items floating around school. And the first on our list is a battle royal going on between "Link" Wright and Janet Siegrist. You'd think the battle had come to blows from the way Janet looked after her swimming class. Dick must have hit her with the diving board! Walt Baker will never know haw close he came to being a jail bird. It seems he borrowed Jack Xitco's car when Jack was away. So, worried about his car Jack phoned the police. A little later up drove "Rhubarb" Baker with the missing auto. And Colleen Pierce pulled a boner in Psych, class the other day. When asked if she'd been on her honeymoon, she came back with a very extraordinary answer. What's this going on at Forest Inn when Peggy Woods was doing her ironing. Remember girls, that stuff is too hard to get to be rolling it down the stairs. Frank Gayda's roommate, Gil Kugel, is looking for a culprit that has been giving him trouble around bedtime. Roma Still is getting rooms mixed lately, enough said. And big Joe Hoard is practicing to be an A-l soda-jerk. ' Rumors are flying that Cliff Sharp is plenty worried about something that's been going around school, but I couldn't get the scoop on it.

In 1837, congress appropriated $30,000 to buy former President James Madison's papers and correspondence because they contained proceedings of the convention that produced our Constitution. Madison's will expressed hopes that the government would acquire his notes and make them public. So his widow sold them in 1837 for the above named sum. BEYOND NECROMANCY . . .

Sketches From the Screen One of the big hits of the week is on review at the American. It's If I'm Lucky with an all-star cast, consisting of Vivian Blaine, Perry Como. Harry James, and Carmen Miranda. It's one of the best musicals of the season and has a string of hit songs on the program. Keep your night calendar open for, If I'm Lucky. The Avalon has an excellent comedy on its schedule for the week with Ray Milland and Olivia DeHavilland in Well Groomed Bride. It's a hilarious story about a husband who couldn't ride and a wife who could. It's co-featured with Fightin' Man, the cast consisting of Dave O'Brien and James Newell with several promising stars under them. Dorothy McGuire and Guy Madison bring you another one of their successful pictures, too, when they team up in Till the End of Time. Both Dorothy and Guy win your hearts with their down to earth American faces and feelings. An added attraction with them is Jack Haleys and Ann Jeffries' Vacation in Reno.

Many students are not aware that the voluntary system: of attendance is a trial which is not working too satisfactorily. Striving toward a more democratic system, Dr. W. W. Haggard intro-, duced the voluntary plan for the first time this quarter. The faculty was sure that if attendance were left to the student's initiative, the auditorium would be just as crowded. But some of the students have failed the faith placed in them. In trying to solve reasons for poor attendance, many excuses have been used, but none strong enough to compensate the loss derived from missing one of these fine programs. The auditorium is close and very handy; the hour is not near enough lunch time so that the hunger, pangs are too great, and the library is closed so there is no study space available. The major reason presented which would be reasonable is that the assembly programs are not given enough publicity before hand. Therefore the Collegian will attempt to outline each assembly and give as much advanced information as possible to explain the program. VOLUNTARY OR COMPULSORY Summing up the situation, it is of interest to every student, to the school and to the participants in the assemblies that attendance is tops. Two excellent reasons for this are: first, the educational advantages offered in each assembly, and second, the blunt fact that a continually poor -attendance will replace the voluntary method with the former method of compulsory attendance.

WWC has experienced a re-birth with the current year. After the lean war years, enrollment has swelled to pre-war figures, and the school is passing through an awkward period of ado-lesehce, during which confusion reigns. VETERANS AS STUDENTS Veterans accustomed to hectic war years undoubtedly find it difficult to complete the transformation from military life to a scholastic life. Since a large portion of the WWC student body consists of veterans this has a great influence on school attitudes. Numerous criticism have, been made condeming the present school spirit, but few methods of alleviating existing conditions have been for.-, warded. The most often voiced remedy is the casual statement, "give us time and it'll come around." The simple truth is that fundamentally enthusiasm and loyalty stem from the individual, and not the football team, yell leaders or student body officers. School spirit, like a chain, is as strong as its weakest link. Unless each student does everything he incapable of to promote interest, the fine spirit that signifies a united student body '.falls apart. It is all too easy to shrug off responsibility and then accuse others when events and programs fall flat. We're never too old to learn, so any new ideas will be as welcome as a valid sugar coupon. It's up to you! As you make it you will have it. GREAT MEN AND HIEROGLYPHICS Don't feel bad if friends tell of handwriting being illegible. Some of Shakespeare's work never has been definitely deciphered. Several of Hawthorne's ..manuscripts remain unpublished today because no one has been able to read them. And Napoleon's letters were almost in a class by themselves, some of them being mistaken for maps of battlefields. Who Hastily Cried 'Wolf? Dear Editors: A group of the residents of Edens Hall wish to register a strong protest against the calling of the police during the serenade of Edens Hall on the night of Tuesday, November 5. The charge was made that the boys, residents of Hospice Inn, were singing unfit songs and were creating a disturbance. This group was among those list-" ening and could detect no spirit of disorderliness nor any songs that might be classified as "unfit". There is a great deal said and written about school spirit and its . lack around Western Washington College. To us. this serenade indicated a spirit of friendliness and comradeship that has been sadly lacking around this school during PPPPP

"Dramatists and Director Merit lt; Laurels for Mama Portrayal , By GEORGE HESS Last Wednesday evening this re-r* porter; had. the pleasure of seeing the WWC student dramatists' pre- * sentation of John Van Oruten's fe play, "I Remember Mama." Traditionally, a dramatic critic is sup- • gt; posed to point out the good (and bad)., points of a presentation. This i* particular rendition defies classification in this respect, however, for each and every performer turned in ^ a sincere and almost flawless performance. ' HOPPE PRAISED .+ First laurels must go to Victor Hoppe, director. Although all the gt; performers had obvious natural talent, the credit for their near-professional polish rightfully belongs to Mr. Hoppe. Without belittling the actors in any way, I can , truthfully say that the presentation paid shining tribute to Mr. ^r Hoppe's skill. I should like to hand a verbal orchid to Evelyn Wulff for her por- 4, trayal of "Mama." She gave the role . a vitality and vigor which, along P with her charming naturalness, did much to make the play a success. Her Norwegian accent was superb. Outstanding in the character role •• of "Mr. Hyde" was Ralph Brown. . His sepulchral voice and exaggerated old-world manners added r greatly to the humor of the scenes in which he played. Besides acting in the play, Brown served as assist- , ant director. In the latter capacity • he contributed the benefits of two year's previous experience in the semi-professional dramatic field. UNCLE CHRIS CONVINCING Thornton Ford was very convincing as "Uncle Chris," the blustering but kind hearted head of the family. Beth Folsom did very well as "Katrin," the oldest daughter and narrator of the story. (Continued on page 8.) WHO WANTS TO BE A DELEGATE? Any student in the school who would be interested in attending the Fourth Annual Pacific Northwest College congress at the University of British Columbia on January 6, 7 and 8, as an official delegate of the Associated Student Body is requested to submit a signed application to the P.N.C.C. committee in the Associated students office before 4 p. m., Monday afternoon. Delegates will have their expenses paid by the ASB to the congress. Two delegates will be selected on the basis of their interest, special qualifications, and knowledge of world affairs in general. Delegates will participate in the forum discussions on the following topics: "The Iron Curtain," "The Berlin Blockade," "The Palestine Problem," "The Chinese Problem," and "Atomic Control.'.' The delegates will be expected to report to the student body upon their return. COLLEGIAN Vol.'XLVII—No. 10 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Fri., Dec. 3, 1948 Pearson, Kent, Radcliffe Elected To Board; Card Playing Out Ann Pearson, Jim Kent, and Bill Radcliffe were selected for the three Board of Control positions in the-election held last Tuesday and Wednesday. A total of 638 votes were cast. Ann Pearson received 293, entitling her to the position of Four-quarter woman. Her two opponents, Betty McLeod and Harriet Lang, received 336 collectively. Jim Kent, who- garnered the position of One-quarter man or woman, was given 316 votes, with his ticket-mates, Margery Ness and June Carrick, "getting 318. Bill Radcliffe was the victor over Jean Selander and Charlie Borden in the race for Four-quarter man or woman, receiving 252 of the ballots cast, while his "ri38 votes was cast. " - The Referendum about card playing in the lounge asking if the Board's decision should be upheld or not, was given a vote of: Upheld 495, Repealed 130, the result being that the decision will be upheld. JIM KENT BiARD RESTORES COFFEE PRICE Lounge to be Underwritten Until Investigation Completed * gt;• Qoffee in the student lounge shall cost five cents until the Board of Control completes an investigation ** of the situation in the student :• lounge. This decision was reached at the regular Wednesday meeting * in the ASB office, December 1. jl Gus J»agels, ASB president, stated that the price of coffee*had been ,.'wdse|^bjg|Mr. Louis Earle, lounge ' nianafer because the students had not coeverated in keeping the -lounge » clean a i ^ t i to absolutely neces|Hi^ that the loung^ be kept inun^pula^e in order to meet health reqiUre- It was pointed out, however, that the price had been raised without the knowledge, or consent of trie hoard. vTbe board realized that because the students had not cooperated in keeping the lounge clean that Mr. Earle had been forced to employ extra help, and was not able to meet the increased costs. Dr. Lucy Kangley reported that the board paid $80 per month to support the lounge before the installation of the coffee bar and thus far we have lost only $64 per month. The board then decided to make a thorough ^investigation of the entire loungie problem and while this is in progress the boa/d will underwrite any josses mcurred ,by the lounge by selling five cent coffee. Ruth Soderstrom, AWS president, requested $30 from the rboard for the College Day conference that is to be held here in the near future. Neil Johnson inquired if the board had any space to house the club libraries. The board suggested that the administration be contacted, they did not have any space. Mrs. Ruth Burnet appeared before the board to give the financial report on the Profile and Homecoming books. . , •.' Gordon Sanstead reported that the Pacific Northwest College congress was to meet at the University of British Columbia and wanted to know if the board would appoint delegates to the.: conference. The board felt there was an overlapping in some of the conferences and wOuld appoint a committee to look into the.affair. Art Runestrand presented the Co-op constitution to the board, but because of the lateness of the hour, action on the issue was delayed. The board adjourned at 6:15 p. m. ;.;*/vns ANN PEARSON BILL RADCLIFFE One of our local boys, Bill Radcliffe was born in Bellingham twenty-three years ago. He attended the local high school and at present is a third quarter junior. A veteran of two year's service, in the navy (as a "desert sailor" in Nevada, Bill says), he is taking Teacher Training with Art as his major. ANN PEARSON Another Bellinghamite is Ann Pearson, who lives at Huntoon Drive. Born twenty-two year ago, Ann has lived here all her life. She, too, is a graduate of Bellingham High. Her activities include being treasurer of AWS, a former four-quarter Board member, and secretary of Valkyrie. Ann was married on ~ August 24, 1947, and plans to graduate in 1950. She is taking Teacher Training. JIM KENT Although he was born in Montana, Jim Kent "has lived twenty-two, of his, twenty-three years in WasMngton-rSeattle in particular: He attended Lincoln high in Se- BILL RADCLD7FE attle and went from there" to the University of Washington. Kent arrived at Western last fall and became a member of the "W" club. His favorite sports are football and track. He is a veteran of two year's service in the Air Corps. A senior in Teachers' Education, Jim plans to be married to Lois King sometime during this month.

All Coffee Drinkers Should Applaud Boards Action If it isn't one thing, it's another. No sooner did the student-body settle the controversy of card-playing in the student lounge, than they are faced, or rather were faced, with a new problem—.10 coffee. Here is an analysis of the present situation: Monday, Mr. Louis Earle, manager of the co-op and the lounge, raised the hitherto .05 price of coffee to .10—carrying out his threat to do so which was sounded some weeks ago. Tuesday, the student coffee drinkers, finding themselves suddenly confronted with real inflation, began to object. Wednesday, the Board of Control acted to restore the price of coffee to its former level. Because of the need for employing extra help to keep the lounge clean, the lounge coffee bar suffered a deficit of $128.92 in October and November, or the sum total of $64.46 per month. The Board, in restoring the former price, assumed responsibility for the deficit but since the Board formerly paid out $80 a month for lounge upkeep, it was still money ahead. So while the coffee drinkers are once more satisfied with, anti-inflationary controls, the Board is probing into the situation thoroughly with the vigor of an un-American activities committee. Lovers of the "golden liquid" will be toasting the health of the Board for their prompt action. If Western Washington college had a "Shadow" or a "Sherlock Holmes" in its employ, it would soon be known who stole "Victor"— the bushy, defiant Viking warrior who stood guard at Homecoming. "Victor" disappeared at the "W" club's Homecoming ball. Because thievery is not condoned and because the Viking concert band needs "Victor" as a backdrop for the winter concert season when the band goes on tour... Please return "him." 6 iOlViHG Like Money in the Bank . . . Bill Radcliffe, artisto magnifico (pretty darn good) is getting his stuff on the market these days. To date, he has the Washington State Coop magazine as buyers for his aesthetic covers—pictures, a' course. And you probably remember Nita Clothier—creative writer and dramatist supreme. A feature-length story of hers is being seriously considered by an eastern magazine, the "American Pen." Looks like education pays off. Gonna get me some, ah reckon. Wahhhh! Notre Dame thinks it has the first "maternity fund" ever raised at a men's college. The campaign has a goal of $5,000 to be used to defray expenses of married vets attending the college. A hundred births are expected in the next seven months to the 500 couples living there. Ugh! Redmen Head Red . . . The placid countenances of 25 Oklahoma Indians were slightly diffused recently when they got lost in the woods they are traditionally supposed to know. They were returning from a tribal council weiner^ roast. You realize, Jeffrey, this means war!. Comes the Revolution Just got word that single men (non-married, I guess) in the navy will have to pay income tax starting the first of this month. Probably true of all branches of the service . . with Pagels . . . somebody shoulda told Vance Nelon; he enlisted in the army last Wednesday. Spirits of Western . . . Some sort of movement should be started to get back that plywood statue of Vic the Vik the junior class donated to the school. Student's went to a lot of trouble to obtain the plywood, the artist, paints and gt; •• the time to give the school a little spirit. Too bad a few students (probably loaded with spirits) decided that their room needed a little cheering up. Esquire magazine, for the information of these shortsighted students, are on sale at any local drug store and the students should derive far more desirable speculation than Vic could provide. I know, I know, this column should be rechristened "Griping old." Home Ec Major . . . A sign in a gas station-cafe outside of Lyman reads: "Eat here and get gas." Need What the Joneses Have? In Albuquerque, New Mexico, a shop-owner hung out a unique sign: "Antiques made and repaired." Ah, nothing like a custom-built antique loungin' around the house when the Vanderbilts show up. The reason for the ten-cent coffee? Only because students couldn't seem to develop enough muscular coordination to firmly grip the cup, walk over and put it on the counter on their way out. Maybe someone should call signals. ' Revolutionary Clan Begives World A Radical Heir By JOE KING Ego.ergo, I come from a long line of revolutionists. For centuries my ancestors havtf been known as the very instigators of progression. The title "Starters of Beliefs" was the term by some people knew them, but most just referred to "those so-and-so's who are always starting something." Practically every generation of the Jan has produced a noteworthy, if not distinguished, revolutionist. Why even today we are known as the most revolting family in town. ' But it is more for practical reasons than for_tradition that I want to suggest a brand new idea. A holiday. Not the regular rotten old run of holiday, you understand, but something different, novel, satisfying. Instead of the ordinary like Thanksgiving, let's set aside a day in January, say, when the weather is at its worst, upon which everyone blasts loose. Celebrate On . . . oh, maybe January 28 (that's a nice lousy sounding date), the whole country will celebrate "I Will Not Be a Hypocrit Day." Hypo-crasy, in any form, will be banned for twenty-four hours. If you want to kick the kindly old lady who lives next door, go ahead; beat your wife, fine; put gravel in the kid's oatmeal, great; poison the neighbor's well-water, oh my, such possibilities. This'll be your day. Nothing phoney about it. If the street car conductor says, good morning, slap him in the mouth. It's raining and he knows it. That kid with the police whistle, bounce him on the sidewalk. You've wanted to for a long time. And when you're holding a chair for the bleach-topped blonde, ho-ho-ho. Go ahead and do it. Look Honestly Yes, this will be the day. Piles of late mothers-in-law, used car dealers still smoldering at the stake, nothing left. but big, high fences, fences, everywhere fences. Mercenary "medicos" leave the hospitals, Salvationists swap their tamborines for beer and everyone builds a fence. I know, I know. Baloney. Why should we build real fences when the ones we have now are just as good. And why put an end to hypocrisy when people have so much fun with it. Anyway, Christmas is coming and 'tis time of the year to shelve all troubles and prejudices. That splendid season when we all break down and look at each other honestly.

Gripe, Gripe Now for the gripe paragraphs: Firstly, this writer has been conducting an apparently unsuccessful one man campaign to get some kind of trash receptacles placed outside the outside doors to all the main buildings. Maybe if some more students showed some interest in this project the Board of Control would take action. How about hearing from some, of you on this subject? Secondly, why isn't some action taken to fill, in those tank traps in the road, leading past the south parking lot? Or are they being left there in anticipation of the next war? Oh, well, if the swimming classes outgrow the pool they can always adjourn to those water filled chuck-holes—the water is deeper there anyhow. Who Was to Blame?

The meeting was held in the club room of Edens hall, Wednesday, December 1. Problems discussed by the group were faculty supervision, the use of profanity, house news, and news coverage. Harry Pagels, Louella Haggen, Bonnie Pasley, Pat Somers, and Frank Adams presented policies of seven professional papers which they had investigated. The general concensus of opinion was that letters to the editor, if accepted, aregprinted verbatim. Profanity and vulgarity aire kept out of the news columns except as used in quotes. Some papers have attorneys to review any questionable material to see if it is libelous or slanderous. Public opinion and business policy act as effective checks on newspapers. House news again came in for discussion, with Shirley Dickenson proposing that each living unit, including the veterans groups, be urged to gather social and personal items weekly. The group expressed opposition to any resumption of last years house gossip columns. Suggestions were made for getting more student names in the Collegian. Future meetings may be scheduled to continue the discussion. PJDENT POLL REVEALS FRANCO FEELINGS By BEV GORDON Should Franco of Spain be giv- #? e h recognition?" was the subject M{ fom fcqulring reporter used this ^^ast'^eefc;" Judging from the stu- VIAdents'"answers, he is really on the rmrocks; for almost all seem to be in £; alfreement that we should have Ai ^o^ninig°tb-dd with the gentleman '- from SpaihT _ . .Wnto asked by me if Franco ^nshqutd!W given recognition, Glenn i .u«*f 'A pUt; l t t h I s w a y . «NO, i don^t3 think so because, how can we advocate democracy when we make an alliance with others whose ideal-ogy is completely opposite." The next pollee, Ken Blakely, made this statement, "No, his policies are very undemocratic. His past reputation In collaboration with the Axis in World War II renders him incapable of conducting a modern civilized country in a fashion befitting the traditions of a cultured nation." John Hill, next on my list of the inquired, made these remarks: "No, Franco's communist tendencies do not provide a stable basis for him to be a leader in a country where the population is .in dire need of political, social, and economic uplift. The present conditions in Spain warrant a complete change-over to bring the spirits of the people from the mental depressions of the past wars to a level equalling that of the rest of the world. As I went along table hopping in the lounge, Herbert Spearin' gave me his views on the other side of the question. "Yes,, I think we should. We must ally with them against the evils which now threaten the world. They have fascism as a purely domestic situation; they have not tried to spread it over the world," was the way he expressed himself. Seated nearby was Paul Willet who made this remark: "Recognition of Franco's .Spain by the United States would mean an alliance with fascism. I definitely oppose both aid recognition to a man who so closely resembles the late Adolf Hitler." Expounding his idea of recognizing Franco quite emphatically was Glenn Cany who said, "No! The United States should help free the people of Spain." "No, because he isnt trusted by the people of Spain," was the answer given me by Dick Grimes. Drawing my poll to a close, this last minute idea was picked up in great haste from Montag Tortz, "Yes, because he is against communism." On the lighter side, were these two profound statements: Neil. Leone: "Well, it's a good spaghetti"; and Leroy Dixon: "Yes because there are lots of pretty senoritas in Spain." And here I end my rambling*until the next time—which, pray-tell, may be a long while from now 1 I'm tired from so much running.

Niemi was named lineman of the week a couple of times this fall and almost single handed, held the Nittany Lions of Penn State at bay last week. Not trying to be critical, but it seems to enhance a player's chances of being All American to go to school east of the mountains. • • • Lew Fonesca, director of motion pictures for the major leagues, says of the World Series films, "We just couldn't get a clear shot of the play at second base that set off the fireworks." • * * Who's sorry now?

George Mikan has averaged around thirty points a game, but his team, the Minneapolis Lakers, have won only three of their first seven games. Maybe the opposition has found a way to throttle big George . . . let him score, and cover everybody else. Sweepstakes Don't say we didn't tell you so. The number rose to 161 this week but still no one guessed the exact score. Dick King of 900 25th street. Joe T. Buhner of 610% Laurel, and Donald Van Voorst of 2025 Kulshan street all came within one point of the 28-13 Western-UBC score but still no one hit it. Deep consideration of the facts show that these 161 people and many more will have another chance to roll in some money. The sweepstakes has ben extended into the basketball season. Because of the number of games played during the season, the amount will be raised only one dollar per conference game. To make it a little more simple, the prophet planning to win much come within five points of each score. This sweepstakes will begin as soon as the first conference games is played. Frazier Cops Position On Conference Squad Big Jack Frazier, the pivot of the Western line, led the way in the balloting for the center spot on the Evergreen Conference all star team. Jack, who starred in football, basketball and baseball at Bellingham high before coming to Western, has lettered in football during his stay at the hilltop school, and has participated in many other activities. This year Frazier gained the plaudits of rival coaches' and players for his outstanding work as a defen sive line backer, where he often played the entire sixty minutes. Jack seemed to have a sixth sense and time and again he was waiting at the spot the play was aimed for. Western fans will be glad to know-that Jack will be back for more football with the Vikings next fall. The voting for the guard spots on the All Conference team produced a four way tie, and one of the four was Bill Currier, a transfer student, who won honorable mention in the Little All America selections last year. Bill made up for his lack of size with his speed, and often worked as the fifth man in the enemy back-field. Like Jack Frazier, Bill plays baseball. Last spring, his first at Western, Bill was a member of the Viking varsity. He also plays basketball, but his first love is the gridiron^ Bill, too, will be back again next fall. Jerry Karnofski and Norm Hash gained quite a bit of attention in the poll, and as a consequence they were named on the league's All Star team as alternate backs. ; Art Svidran was given credit for his work when he was picked T gt;y United Press, as a second team fullback in their All. Pacific Northwest team. ''-!•••'.: , • ,*••: - ^The Viks had a better than average season, winning five and losing four. After all, how many teams win more than they lose? Next fall, with the above mentioned all stars, and the promising crop of freshmen from this year, the Viks may be in a contending position at the end of the season. Here's how the All Conference team looks: Sam Adams of Whitworth and Vernon Morris of Pacific Lutheran at ends; Hank Pond of CPS and Lee Hake of Central at tackles; Bob Osgood of Central at one guard spot, and Warren Wood of CPS, Don Ros-bach of Eastern, Jack Carbone of PLC, and Bill Currier of Western, tied for the other; Jack Frazier of Western, center, and Bud Thrapp of Eastern, Vern Tucker of Whitworth, Mel Light of CPS and Rip Raappana of Eastern, backfield men.

The teams and their captains are: Edens hall, Helen Shugard, captain; Forest Inn, Pat Hume, captain; Men's Residence hall, Don Sayan, captain; Silver Paddlers from Grants hall, Jack Croghan, captain. First place judges for the meet are Ray Ciszek and Lorna Hudson. Miss Muffly and Marilyn Morrison are second place judges, with Mrs. Ciszek and Kay Beaty, third place judges. Dolly McArthur is clerk of the course. Chief scorer is Helen Shugard with Delores Overdarff her assistant. Wes Martinson is the announcer. Sam Carver will be the official scorer. Starter will be Ray Hyatt. Special events to be included are diving exhibitions by Allan Fitzsim-mons and an exhibition medley relay by the swimming team. Hospice Remains Undefeated Team Defeating the Teetotalers 19-16 the Northenders moved up the ladder to share the top spot with the Huskies in the "B" league of the Intramural basketball league. The Huskies retained their position by overrunning the Dirty Jerks 40-30. In the "C" league the Night Riders beat the third place Pinochle Five 30-24. The only "A" league game scheduled, Mathes vs. Bear Cats, was won by forfeit by the Bear Cats. Hospice remains the only undefeated team in any of the leagues. Team standing as of December 1 are: Boys Peek i^i Fern Athletics During a PE class this past week some "athletic" boys were taking an illegal peak at the girls basketball progress, we hope! From the look on their faces (ear-linking grins) you could judge that the general attitude was that of hopelessness and laughter. But if the prejudiced opinion that boys are "tops" in athletics could be done away with,,you would notice that the girls real?y jdo play basketball. Mary Pagels has a right arm shot that seldom fails and when she J s backed up by fast forwards like Pat Smith, Gail Dillon, and Jesse Isom, it forms a combination hard to beat. On the guarding end Ruth, Wright and Josephine Vezzetti keep any opposing forwards troubled. Louise Oliveri, besides playing good basketball is also "graceful" and "dramatic" on the floor.

Take one look ' at that Evergreen Conference and you'll see why. The Conference emerges this year as one of the strongest in the country. With Ray Scott, Stan Peterson, Dick Ravenhorst, Jerry Starr, Tom Green, Jack Ross, Larry ;-•Slovek, Bob Cline, Tom Oswald, Dick Patterson, Vern Whitney, Hal Nor-gaard, Wally Green, and Bob Wicks backing up the Western spirit on the trip to Seattle this week-end for their double tilts with Seattle University '' and Pacific College, the majority of us will just have to sit back and wait fof'the outcome. As Coach MacDonald puts it, "The team is shaping up "fairly well, but will need a IKW practice games before league competition. "New men who have shown fairly good promise are W. Green, Wieks, Gar-orison, Patterson, Norgaard and Ravenhorst." Bill Garrison is ruled ineligible because of attending CPS last year. Following this week's game, the'Viks will journey to the University of Washington for a tilt on December 10, and to an Invitational Tournament at Pacific Lutheran college on December 11. • * * University of British Columbia seems to be having no small amount of trouble in getting their sports calendar lined up. One of the requirements for league membership in the Evergreen conference is full participation in the entire sports calendar. The Canadians are willing to go . t he limit in all save football, where they suggest they be permitted to trim ? their league schedule to four games. The matter has been placed under the supervision of the conference athletic directors. * * * Congratulations to Jack Frazier for being chosen all-conference center to the Evergreen league. Also a bouquet of nasturtiums-to Jerry Karnofski and Norm Hash for receiving honorable mention. Believe me, those boys really worked for what they got.

'Not Long'Writer Pleads For Help, Deliverance Dear Sir: I am one of the less fortunate individuals of Western Washington college who is forced to drag myself, with my feet, up the steep hills of High street, to the college campus. As I am not an experienced mountain climber, I find it pretty grim when the rain is pelting down, and the wind is howling around my earmuffs, trying to make me late for class. Every few seconds I hear a swish, and some monstrous automobile sails past, covering my already soaked being with muddy spray. More often than not, there is only one occupant, namely the driver, sitting so smug and comfortable, not bothering to guess my plight. What I want to know is this: Why won't my fellow Westernites pick me up and give me a ride? Where is the spirit of cooperation at WWC? Is it dead? Frankly I'm beginning to think so. In the meantime I am dying a slow agonizing death on the hills of High street. Breathlessly yours, Not Long for This World.

M.; • Identifying: four types of relationships regarding- school-community cooperation in war time Dr. Stephen M. Corey of the University of Chicago, made his initial appearance at the third annual WWC summer educational conference this morning. - Dr. Corey, in his address on "A Meaningful School-Community Program in War Time," outlined the four types as follows: (1) schools must keep their communities informed of what -. — - — is going on in the schools; (2) schools must provide to their communities services of a wide variety of types; (3) every attempt must be made to develop cooperative community school planning of educational programs; and (4) educators must use the community and its facilities as learning laboratories and as a source for learning materials. Speaking further on his second point Dr. Corey stated that we would not want our children exploited or advantage taken of them when they contributed to the war effort. "It seems to me that even in war time the school should not lose sight of its major obligation; namely, to provide youngsters with experiences that will enable them to grow in understanding," Dr. Corey remarked. WORK IN COMMUNITY Going further into the fourth type, Dr. Corey said, "... the sooner we can acquaint (the children) with community problems and methods of arriving at solutions to these Continued on Page Two Ruby Dahlin, Maxihe Dunfee, Visiting Instructors; Praise New Building By IRENE FYHN • Both enthusiastic about the new training school building, visiting Campus School instructors this summer are Miss Ruby Dahlin, third grade, and Miss Maxine Dunfee, fourth. This is the first time either of the two instructors has been in Bellingham, although Miss Dahlin has visited many times on the coast. For Miss Dunfee this is the first time she has been north of Portland, although she also has made visits to the Pacific coast. 'The new training school is hon- DR. STEPHEN GOREY estly the most gorgeous thing I have everseen;" isJkfissDahlin's.opinion of the new building. The physical set-up here is- really ideal, It's the latest thing in elementary architecture." Miss Dunfee comes to WWC from the University of Iowa demonstration school, where she taught the fourth grade, and is especially enthusiastic about the scenery of Bellingham. "Everything that is green is so much greener here, and the mountains are different from what I'm used to also.". DAHLIN FROM MINNESOTA Miss Dahlin is a member of the faculty at the demonstration school at the University of Minnesota and like all Minnesotans she is an avowed football fan. Both the teachers stated that the set-up in the demonstration school was a little different from that here. In both of their situations they have observations every day, and a demonstration lesson regularly on some specific subject that the technique teacher wishes to have demonstrated. Many and varied are the hobbies that, occupy the spare time of both the visiting instructors. Miss Dunfee expressed her interest in her many hobbies by saying, "I'm always interested in trying something that I have never done before." HOBBIES VARIED At present Miss Dunfee is experimenting with water colors, while she also finds time for her other hobbies, tap dancing and knitting. She also combined her fourth of July excursion to Vancouver with a hobby interest by purchasing an English cup and saucer to add to her collection of antique china. Miss Dahlin's hobbies also are varied, with her interest centering on music, gardening and reading, as well as her passion for football games in their season. After summer school is completed Miss Dahlin is returning directly to Minneapolis where, "I'm going to do lots of swimming. I haven't had a chance to swim very much yet this summer." (Continued on Page Four) Inter-American Relations Meet To Convene Here July 13-15 • That understanding of the Americas by Americans can come about through education is the belief of the conference-leaders of the Inter-American Relations study to be conducted July 13, 14, 15 at WWC.

Molding of Future Soldiers Teachers' Role, Says DuShane By EARL ECKERT • "Molding and shaping the soldiers of tomorrow; that is. the role of education in winning this war." So said Dr. Donald Du Shane Wednesday as he addressed the Institute of Professional Relations at WWC. Because of this responsibility, the teachers must now come to the defense of education in a democracy. The teacher is now preparing the voters for the period 15 years from now. Stating that the real test of democracy will come after this war, Dr. DuShane believes that the teachers are the ones to prepare for it. He exclaimed further that the ideal situation would have the pftiblic so interested in the welfare of their children that they would fight for education, but when they don't then the teachers have to carry on the battle. Dr. Du Shane said that the fight will not be an easy one. He told of groups which are trying to destroy the confidence which the public now has in education. He cited cases of groups saying that the schools should be closed now so as to lend greater effort to the war. Accusations of being Communistic also have been^hurled at the teachers. Because of military demand, more lucrative positions, and other reas- (Continued on Page Four) '42 Klipsuns Slated For Men in Service • Plans for distributing the 1942 Klipsun to WWC students in the armed forces were announced by- President W.

"Only a practice alert!" the officer said, putting out to sea again, changing it's course somewhat. Mrs. Dawson sought to be patient, as she realized that the shift in course would make her later than ever for the summer term of school at WWC—she was several days late already. Drawn to Sitka by the presence of her husband and son and his family, Mrs. Abi Dawson had found conditions there strained, especially during the time of the Dutch Harbor attack; no news came from any place, except from the threatening Japanese and once in a while from Moscow. All communication is by shortwave, but there they were, blacked out in every sense of the word. On the alert, women and children would take to the hills, feeling greater security in the green trees than from plywood houses. . As she spoke of these circumstances, I could picture her quiet manner, as she aided others to safety. She was small and angular and looked as if she would be deft at handling people confused by such an emergency. Other details of life in Alaska were falling fast. Big bombers in flight to unknown places, troop transports stopping briefly, defense activities of all kinds carried the theme of war to the regular inhabitants of the town. Women worked rather than stay confined to their homes under black-out regulations; men formed their territorial guards—with the women itching to take to guns as Well. Life among the fishermen, defense workers, women and children must be kept as normal as possible, with methods of recreation set up by the churches and organizations. Fresh food was scarce, and the water supply in town was endangered by one week of dry weather. "Surely you must be happy to reach U.S. proper, Mrs. Dawson. Flies Over Europe Are you planning to teach in Washington this year, is that why you are here?" I, asked. "Sitka is the place for me next, year—and for as long as I can be of help up there," Mrs. Dawson said as she straightened her shoulders. "I . shall. be able to work at one thing or another, teach in either the grades or the high school, as I am needed, besides having the pleasure of being with my family." "Is this return to teaching, then, a war-measure, Mrs. Dawson?" I asked, wondering at her youthful vigor. "Not teaching again," she said, stressing the word slightly, "I've kept up my teaching career out of necessity, through the many years of my husband's illness. During these years I maintained my family that way, but now that I don't have to, I want to, for the sake of doing what I can in the community where my grand-children will be growing up!" "I hope the. kind of work which you are taking at WWC will .help you up there," I said. "I'm* working for my three-year elementary, and incidentally, coming back after thirty-two years! Thirty-two years ago I stayed in the old Edens hall, mind!" "Happy homecoming, then, Mrs. Dawson," I said, and to myself I added, "not only here, but a happy return to Sitka, for you and your hardiness of soul!" and I left the. lunch-table in Edens hall, where I had fallen into this interesting conversation. Workshop Scene of Feverish Activity As Groups Take Field Trips, Picnic By JOAN CAMPBELL • With the end of the quarter too well in view Workshoppers were in a fever .of activity this week. Field trips, luncheons, an all-Workshop picnic, to say nothing of individual problem work and con-' ferences kept participants going at a dizzy pace. Two field trips have been taken by the major work groups working with Dr. Aubrey Kaan in the field of elementary curriculum. Both trip were to Sedro-Woolley, where the group is studying data gathered in an Upper Skagit valley survey last year by the State Planning Council. The group is working toward the adaptation of this material for use in the curriculum of the Sedro-Woolley schools. E. L. Edge and John Nordmark; of the Washington State Planning council, and Muncaster, made a special trip to the --College last week to confer with the Workshop group on the material and its possible use in the schools. Dr. Haan,- whose special interest field is the community school, will continue this study during the coming school year, and will work closely with Sedro-Woolley in planning and building toward a community-cen- . tered school program: In connection with this same study, all interested Workshop members are being given an unusual opportunity to actively participate in an actual community survey, which is being made in Snohomish county now by the State Planning council. The -group will work in Monroe during the day and will sit in on a meeting of the planning council in the evening. It Is , hoped a large group of students will be interested and able to take part in this unique experience. ALL GROUPS BUSY The primary curriculum group is working on a philosophy of education. They expect to put their findings on record, reports and application blanks into some permanent form. Dr. Haan met with the group to discuss records and reports. He gave practical suggestions on check lists and anecdotal records, and on the new type of report card. This group has observed in the third grade and in kindergarten. The intermediate major work group met with Dr. Woodring last week to disfcuss problems relating to the handling of over-age children, those who are emotionally unstable, and those who are handicapped by unfavorable home conditions. The group also had done considerable observing in the Campus school. The junior high school mathematics group with Miss Edith Sifton as adviser, sponsored a showing of* five motion pictures on precision measurements last Tuesday, July 7. The uses of the micrometer, vernier, and the steel rule were explained as the pictures were shown. On Thursday, July 9. measurements with fixed gauge and standard indicators were shown. The language-arts group under Miss Maxine Nortrirup is engaged in'~ a broad program of study including spelling, short story, essay, poetry, drama, and oral and written composition. PICNIC AT GOOSEBERRY Priminent among the week's major recreational activities was the all-Workshop picnic at Goos'e-berry Point last night. Planned by the recreation committee, this was the final social function of the congenial group which has worked and played together tfiis summer. This week's program has been given over to the educational conference meeting and luncheon, in which all Workshoppers have taken an active part and interest. Next LIEUT.

Thursday afternoon Ernest Campbell took Dr. Corey's place on the program and spoke regarding the duties of teachers in helping the child's school life. SUPERINTENDENTS MEET Meeting in conjunction, with the educational confefehce~the'7past two days have been the county superintendents of the state. Clare Men-denhall, president of the County Superintendents' association, presided at the noon luncheon on Thursday.

The group acts as a clearing house for problems and questions arising in the smaller work groups/ and plans a schedule for each succeeding week. It is a democratic body, with Dr. Paul Grim, Workshop director, presiding as. informal chairman. All participants are asked to attend at least one planning meeting during the session, but they are all open to any participants who are interested.

Dear Mr. Phillips : :W May I call to your attention an error in last weefc's Collegian-regarding Mr. Bushell—he is not head of the Music department at the college. There are no heads of departments at the college. Each department has a chairman and I have been the chairman of the Music department for the past eight years. The names of these chairmen may be obtained from Miss Church in the President's office. Sincerely yours, Nils Boson. Donald DuShane Predicts Sharp Increase In Teachers' College Enrollment The WWCollegian regrets making the aforementioned error and will take extreme pains to see that it doesn't happen again. ea,m pfi Sometimes it's nice to know what's going on in other colleges all over the country. These are bits gathered from newspapers of other American colleges. * * A non-credit engineering course is being inaugurated in San Jose State College this summer. Training will consist of 200 hours. There is no tuition charge. * * It seems that EWC is having its troubles about their social life. They've dropped their activities for the summer. Might this be due to male scarcity or money scarcity, jiaaybe? * ---* And while on the subject of the male situation, it might be said that Sam Houston State Teachers college reports its ratio of men to women is 1:2.4. * * San Jose students are being asked to save scraps of crayon, colored paper, etc., for the use of the small Japanese children in the assembly centers. * ^ Little quips gathered from here and there may help to raise your spirit level. "Why did you marry such a homely man?" "He asked me." Exchange. * * TIME Time tells on a man—especially a good time. Not only does beauty fade, but. it leaves a record upon the face as to what becomes of it. Campus Crier, CWC DEFENSE DITTIES She lived out in the country, The answer to his desires, But he couldn't take her dancing, Because his flivver had no tires. By JOYCE WATERBURY Predicting a sharp increase in enrollment in teacher's training institutions next fall, Dr. Donald Du Shane, principal speaker at the Professional Relations institute Wednesday displayed his optimism for the teaching future. While strolling on the campus in an after-lunch leisurely fashion, impressively rugged Du Shane amplified his statement my saying that "it's an economic law that when people realize a shortage in a profession, and their assurance of position upon graduation, they are going to train for those openings which, to them, are especially enticing." COMPARE SYSTEMS The grey-haired educational crusader continued his conversation ' then, by drawing a comparison with other sections which spoke very favorably of Washington's educational provisions for the protection of its teaching profession, and educational standards. '*You have the teachers' retire-men plan, the tenure of contract, and disability allotment, as well as many other means of protection. Then, too, he added with a friendly smile which showed his readiness to give praise where praise was due, "your state is among the outstanding states in the Union in educational progressiveness." Rubbing his hand across his face in a habitual manner, Dr. DuShane said of his job, "I spend about one-third of my time as secretary to the National Commission for the defense of Democracy Through Education of the National Education association traveling- through the country helping teachers' groups to promote better public relations and Summer Students Here for Definite Purpose Says Kuder • Summer school students at Western Washington, college are here to fulfill definite requirements in teaching qualifications, according to Dr. M. S. Kuder, registrar. This year the State department has made a special regulation whereby last year's sophomores by going five consecutive quarters instead of six, are to be issued war emergency certificates at the end of summer school next year. There are now thirteen people in school working for war emergency certificates on eleven quarters of work. Many of the older teachers are returning to the field in order to make use of the opportunity to teach. Most of them have life certificates and are enrolled in "Special Problems in Teaching" a course devised chiefly for people who have been out for some time. Students from the 1937 and 1939 classes are back for renewals of five-year and three-year certificates respectively. Another group is completing requirements for principals' credentials. This requires twelve hours in fields such as Curriculum, Methods, Guidances, etc. There also are a number of teachers from other states who are candidates for certificates through the State department for which they are filling out credits. A few students are taking courses to fulfill prerequisites to admittance in other fields or in other colleges. WWC has made an appeal to freshmen encouraging them to begin immediately, as there will be a definite need for these teachers in the future. However, an extremely small number have responded. Other colleges have experienced the same situation. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS aiding them with other problems which face them. The rest- of my time is spent in Washington ,D. C, where our offices are." Then, with the expression of tiredness creep- DR. DONALD DU SHANE ing through his mask of genuine interest, Dr. Du Shane estimated his speaking average while on these tours at two lectures a day. NO DRAFTEES Returning the conversation to a luncheon topic, the educational specialist firmly stated his negative opinion concerning the possibility that male teachers who are drafted will ever be inducted into the army; given a rank, and then returned to their former teaching position as their part in the national war effort. With this note of negativism, the friendly educator turned to join the other leaders in the educational field as they left to attend another of the institute meetings. Students Mai! From \b States • Where do the new students attending Western Washington College this summer hail from? As taken from the records, three-fourths of them are transfer students from other colleges. There are 51 new students representing 10 states and Alaska which has 4, California 2, Idaho 5, Illinois 2, Iowa 1, Maryland 1, Montana 9, Nebraska 1, North Dakota 6, Oregon 19, and South Dakota 1. more on instructors (Continued from Page One) Miss Dunfee is; returning to her -^home in Red Oak, Iowa, via Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and Denver. Both teachers expressed pleasure at having worked here this summer, Miss Dunfee stating, "I can honestly say that this is a place where both faculty and students alike go out of their way to make one enjoy it here. I can't seem, to believe that the time has gone by so fast." Social Attitudes Of Collegiates Psycholocjzed By LELA KAUFMAN Do you like to see women put on their warpaint in public? If you are a typical college youth, (Do they still have those things?) you definitely don't, while if you are a member of the fairer sex you don't care so much. That is, if statistics are to be believed.. Women, on the other hand, frown much more strongly upon the man who expects a kiss during his first date with a girl than do his fellow men. Then, too, women think it more undesirable to become engaged frequently, whereas " men think swearing in front of a woman is a more grevious fault. Women are more annoyed than men by the person who spills personal confidences, especially if she is a woman. Men rate the individual who can argue without becoming disagreeable on the same high plane as the one with clean-fingernails, while the coeds strongly favor the clean hands. These and many other conclusions, such as high approval by both sexes toward the girls who keep their stockings pulled up, may be read in detail in the Journal of Social Psychology, August, 1941, under the title of "Comparison of the Attitudes of College Men with the Attitudes of College Women in Regard to Fellowship Behavior" - by T. M. Carter. more pro conflab (Continued from Page One) ons, education also is faced with the problem of teacher shortage. PLEADS WITH TEACHERS Because of the influence which the teacher has and because of the trying test through which education is now going, Dr. Du Shane calls upon the teachers to do everything in their power to insure the growth of education. To carry on this fight, he believes that every teacher will have to sacrifice in many ways if education is to survive. Teachers willxhave to forget the possibility of criticism, and not be afraid of a little talk, because they will have to get out to meet and speak with the public. The teacher will have to come out of the classroom more and take the risk of influencing the public more. The educator must appeal to the public and convince the people on the subjects of education. 25% CARRY LOAD Each individual will have to do the work under the supervision of a national organization. Dr. Du Shane feels it is really unprofessional when teachers will sit back and let 25 per cent ol-the members carry the burden of finance and influence. This fight requires an all out effort on the part of every one in the profession. This means that the teacher must take a stand; Mountaineers Pick Ice oh Bakers Dome TRY THE CO-OP First If the Students Use It We Have It. • Just before the sun began to rise last Saturday PPPPP

The first category will include the completion of the heating plant project, and the construction of the men's dormitory and industrial arts buildings. This first project will be under development as soon as manpower and material will permit. In the second category will come the construction of the auditorium building, the new hospital, and the underground distribution system. Plans for this group will be developed at a later date after the completion of the first category. Mr". Lockwood," accompanied by Dr. Haggard, concluded his visit with an inspection tour of the school campus. Recreation Reading Talk on Thursday • To introduce a recreational reading program to the students of WWC, short talks will be given in the reading room on the first fioor of the library starting next week. Dr. Thomas Hunt will give the first talk of the series next Thursday at 11 a. m. The talks will not be book reviews, but will merely be short informal chats in which a large number of non-curricular books will be shown and introduced by a faculty member who has read «,nd enjoyed them. Students wishing to, may charge out the books that are shown immediately following the talks. The talks will last about 30 min- - utes and are being planned by faculty members for once or twice a week the remainder of the fall quarter and all of the winter quarter. Students are asked to watch the official bulletin board for announcements of the hours during which these talks will be held. Mulvaney, Stevens Give Talks Today • Two features marked today's assembly, American Education week and Armistice day.

Yes, tonight is the big celebration when stray pennies, nickles, or dimes will treat you to an evening of fun and treat former WWC students now in the service to a regular subscription to the WWCollegian. Penny pitching, that favorite game of skill, will be one feature of the Mardi Gras while another Blackface Mandies Strut Their Stuff By GLEN BURGESS • Grunts, groans, and cries of pain are heard issuing from the auditorium every Tuesday and Thursday. Then noisy thumps and bangs—What is it, you- might aesk? Well, don't be alarmed. It isn't a commando course or a stray gym class. It's just the cast of the minstrel show rehearsing the strenuous cake-walk. After struggling through the cake-walk, the cast breaks into a chorus or two. of that popular minstrel song, "Mandy." And then on with'the show! Behind these scenes of glory, are many hard; working students who gain little recognition for their labors. Ann Easterbrooks, business manager of the show, is busily at work preparing for show publicity. Peggy Custer,' costume and property manager, is wracking her nimble brain trying to obtain suitable costumes. Lorraine McConnell has worked many hours on the script, and is assisting in the directing. Pat Bright is working on acts of the third part of the show, which is not completed, as yet. Warren Lambert is serving in the capacity of stage manager. And last but not least, are all the other students and teachers who are using their time and talents to make the show a success. President Haggard Delivers Address • President W. W. Haggard addressed the students of Ferndale high school last Wednesday morning, November 10. Dr. Haggard's speech included commemorations of Armistice day and alsp was devoted to the celebration of American Education week.

They both were prominent students while attending WWC. Hatch is a former ASB prexy and a member of the Scholarship society, while Miss Peterson was president of Valkyrie club and a member of the Board of Control. Ensign Hatch, having just graduated from Chicago University, will remain in Seattle until he receives his assignment. At present, Miss Peterson is in Seattle teaching in the grade schools. No definite wedding date has been set as yet. Navy Man Weds Girl in Khaki • Quartermaster second class Don Gooding, USN, former WWCollegian sports editor and sports writer on the Herald, left Seattle by plane on Sunday, October 31, for St. Augustine, Florida, where his marriage to Lieutenant June Mohrman, of the WAC, was to take place during the week. Miss Mohrmann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Mohrmann. of Fern-dale, was prominent in musical activities at WWC, and is also a former WWCollegian staff member. Gooding, who was home with his parents for a few hours before his departure, has been on a small nayal supply ship plying Alaskan waters for more than a year. American Legion Hears Dahlgren • Elaine Dahlgren, freshman, spoke to the American Legion last Monday for American Education Week. Her topic was "Education for World Understanding." ^Edward Olson, a senior at Belling-ham high school, spoke on "Education for the Air Age," and Betty-Jo Sutherland, a ninth grader from Fairhaven junior high school, spoke on "Education and Health." , Arthur E.

Bad luck went along though, for the bus carrying the football fans had four flat tires, ran into IY2 feet of snow and the North Dakota team lost the game 27 to 4. Dale Jacobs, better known as "Jake" to students of WWC last year, has written asking that the WWCollegian be sent to him. Private first class Jacobs is now with the 832nd Bomber Squadron, Davis —Monthan Field, Tucson, Arizona, after having been stationed at a number of different camps in the East, and Middle West. "Jake," with an overseas training outfit now, sends his regards to all the "guys and gals" he knew last year and hopes to visit WWC for a day during his furlough coming up within the next month. Benefit Dance Held To raise money for carrying on the work of the School Patrol, the Veterans of Foreign Wars sponsored an Armistice Day dance in the Eagles hall last night. Tickets for the affair sold at $1 each and letters were sent to Campus school parents urging their support. Reporter Finds Governor Langlie Regular Heads South Guy Cadet and Mrs. Harold Key were married recently in Athens, Ohio, where the groom is stationed. The bride is the former Gera I d i n e Meek, of Bremerton, and attended W WC last year. • Placing his hand on the shoulder of the WWCollegian reporter in a friendly gesture, Governor Arthur B. Langhe drew him toward the couch. "Sit down" the governor said, as he himself perched precariously on the broad arm; "Now, what can I do for you?" As naturally as in a locker room bull session, questions and answers followed. "Everything possible will be done for our returned service men and service' women who wish to finish their schooling after the war," the chief executive affirmed earnestly. "The matter is now being studied extensively, and this state will undoubtedly find the best solution for its own people before the war is over." Mr. Langlie's eyes, thoughtful yet lively, seemed to smile as he added, "The state has already set aside $2,- 500,000 for helping returning fighters to get ire-settled in civilian life. In addition, it is expected that the federal government will allocate funds in each state for the same purpose. "We want our soldiers to have something definite to come home to this time." he continued, his expression sterner at the recollection of World War I injustices. "A secure place must be found for them," he said. According to Governor Langlie, the State of Washington is also in the forefront in the post-war planning of college and university buildings. As more fully explained on page 1 of this issue, the Western Washington campus will be among the beneficiaries in the projected building program. . Boys drafted from high school while in their last half year may expect to receive diplomas without further schooling, in Governor Langlie's opinion, while those with more than a half year to finish will be given a chance to make the credits necessary for graduation. "Possibly there will be vocational schools for them," the governor commented, "or some similar type of school they will be willing to attend." Another pat on the shoulder and the chief executive left to chat with a bevy of feminine admirers. Back on the couch, the reporter jotted down a single note. "Governor Arthur B. Langlie—a regular guy." Woman of the Week A W S pr e s ;deot Now Engaged • Aileen Gardiner, AWS -president, last week made known her engagement to Ensign Ed Prince, former prominent WWC music student and graduate of last year.

Hal went down to L.A. a couple of weeks ago to watch some of the coast teams in action and stated that, "Some of the old Winco clubs could .have trounced any of the Southern teams."

With himself scoring most of the tallies, Ernie has done a great job in keeping his boys in. top form. Burklund and Pomeroy have been taking their share of the load.also and both of these boys have shown lots of promise. Lenning, Martinson, De Pastel, and Kuljis have done fine work in sharing the reserve load for the leaders. Maybe the boys will get dumped yet, though.

But they paid her and the other ihitiates back with other salty sea tricks such as blindfolded jumps, apple bobbing, and peanut blowing down the pool.

Graduating from Bellingham high in 1939 he was tabbed by all the local sports followers as the boy most likely to go places in athletics. In high he was an outstanding performer in baseball, basketball, and football, winning honors in each. He then traveled to the Palouse country where at Pullman he had quite a record to lay down for himself in the near future. That spring he worked out with the frosh baseball team and made a notch in his belt for numerous topflight performances. In his sophomore year he went up to varsity duty, where, although just a new member, the oldsters put him in their infield combination like a block of granite, and when the season v/as over, he had garnered himself a real name as a fielder and hitter. He was then called into the Army via the draft route. Here he was able to write his name in the service men's annals as the top third sacker in this district, while his team, the Fort Lewis Warriors, were winning the servicemen's tournament. He only spent one full year in the Army before he was given an M. D. Last year he entered school here and played basketball for Lappy, and in the spring was called to duty by the Seattle Rainiers for a chance to play Coast league ball. This is when bad luck started falling his way. First, he got a terrific Charley horse that kept him from cracking a regular position, and he was giyen a release until this had a chance to heal. While he v/as lesting around Bellingham he was playing some Sunday ball for the Bells and he broke his , ankle. This year his ankle is healed and he is ready to crack Lappy's basketball team. To you, Jim Gilday, WWC fires a salute of admiration. Twine Swishing Basketballers Highlight Intra Competition TEAM STANDINGS TEAM— W. L. Pet. Ludwicks 5 0 1.000 Warks 3 2 .600 Munizzas 1 4 .200 Gildays 1 4 . .200 Witt, Ludwick Both Score 26 Points In Single Game • Wark's basketball boys showed plenty of fire in bouncing the Mu-nizza gang to the tune of 44 to 26. last Monday afternoon. Dahl, Mol-drem, and Wark gleaned most of their team's points and showed fine all-around planning. Munizza and Baker staged a two man show accounting for all but two of their side's points. • Ludwick's team was able to scrap the Gildays boys off the floor on the same night as the previous game by a 39 to 30 margin. Ludwick and Burklund played heads up ball for the winners. On Tuesday, Wark's high riders gave trie fast improving Gilday boys another spanking by a 60 to 48 score. Jim Gilday played a scrappy game and with the help of Herb Witt and Warren Lambert made 28 of their team's 30 points. Tuesday night's"game of Gilday's and Wark's teams turned out to be the greatest scoring spree to date, Wark's team making 60 points. "Sugar" Moldrem starred for the Wark five pushing in 25 points, while Hillier and Wark held him up by making another 25 points between them. Herb Witt sparked Gilday's bunch and almost upset the game by making an individual scoring record of 26 points. Only having four men throughout the game gave Gilday's team a aisaG vantage, but even with the four, they outscored their opponents second half total by one point. With hustling Larry Munizza leading, the Munizza five almost upset the Ludwick boys' apple cart Wednesday night. The game showed all the promise of being an ordinary contest, but during the last half, things began to pop. Muniz-za's team leading by three points, was playing championship ball, and Ludwick's pace had slowed down to a walk. Then "Stork" DePastel saved the ship when he tipped in a "long" by Burklund. After that, heartened by "Stork's" basket, Lud IHAIRIPINS • Hockey held the top spot in the women's sports realm this week with some mighty vicious play being turned in by a couple' of the teams participating. The Freshman girls proved a little too much for the Upperclassers when they rolled to a 6 to 5 victory in their game Wednesday night behind the gym in the fem. hockey competition. The standout for the Freshman team was a little black dog which repeatedly carried the ball into the loser's territory. Miss Hawke and Alice Marie Anderson played outstandingly for the losers while Vinnie Zancich and Rachel Blekkink dropped in behind them in the supporting role. Nell Kosola, Barbara Caldwell, Joan Jones, and Gail Hunter all showed championship form in their victory along with their little friend, the black dog. Volleyball turnouts are being held regularly in the gym and many. girls are responding well. Tuesday night they held a short workout and teams are to be formed for further play in the future. There has been some suggestions by the girls that an intamural bowling league should be formed and operated on a mixed basis. What do you think, girls? Any ideas are gladly accepted in the box on the sports desk. and the boys swished three in quick succession during the last three minutes, winning by the safe margin of 36 to 28. ...WARKS (60) GILDAYS (48) Wark 13 ...;....F Gilday 12 Moldrem 25 F Lambert 6 Dahl 10 C Witt 26 Hilier 12 G Maclochlan 4 Martin G LUDWICKS (36) MUNIZZAS (28) Burklund 9 F Baker 3 Pomeroy 10 F Goif 5 DePastel 4 C Jones 3 Ludwick 13 ;...G.......l..-.

ENGLISHMEN PLAY FOR FUN Can what an Englishman once remarked regarding sports be true? He said that Americans play to win while Englishmen play for the fun of it. This English boy was chatting with an American girl and they were comparing their native sports. The conversation had begun with alternating discussions and explanations of rugby, football, cricket, baseball, steeple chasing, and horse .racing. But as they went on talking, the problem of comparing purposes and enjoyment in sports arose. They discovered that although there were many similar-' ities in rules and methods of play in America and England,, the spirit was different. AMERICANS TEAM-MINDED The English lad gave illustrations of the reactions of spectators in his mother country and those he's seen here in America. - It was true; the English seemed to "jolly littie care" who won as long as,it was a thrilhng contest, arid they would loudly, applaud or \ cheer a gallant feat or brilliant play on either side. Of course, we Americans cheer an outstanding play made by our opponents also, but not too often.; In our eyes it's generally our side that makes the brilliant plays. He claimed that the English spectators on the '•whole had twice as much enthusiasm. -But the Americans miss defended her sportsters^ by saying that they couldn't be Heat when it came to spirit at games. She had ytoiadmit that she's never seen the athletic picture in England. How- . ever, she upheld that it is through the element Of strong, competition that" the American game spi rit is attained. She also commented that •t with that morale booster, the com- ^petitive spirit/ the skill of team ^performance, is. encouraged. . .- v ^S^She admitted though,;that: the 0e^ryt|ir^^they' enter of terrxaus-es a Brooklyn Dodgers' booster to come to blows with a St. Louis Cardinals' fan. She also condescended that strong competitive spirit often results in pop bottles being thrown at umpires and referees for unpopular decisions. The English fellow had to admit that an unpopular umpire is vocally dealt with by the throngs over there, too. • SHE AND HE GET TOGETHER The American girl still thinks that we get as much fun out of our sports as the English do from theirs, and the English boy still thinks they have as much spirit at games as we do, ljut the two people helped each other unknowingly. She knows the English people better and understands their point of view. He made her realize more the fact that winning isn't all of a game. He has begun to see why it is the American rooters get such an extreme amount of pleasure in strong competition. Through her, he saw an American point of view which helped him to better uderstand these puzzling American ways. As the English boy recalled his first rash statement, he began to moderate it in his mind. As the American girl thought it over, she began to believe a little those opening words which at first had sounded so untrue. By MARILYN TURNER • Greetings and Merry Mardi Gras, students. Mardi Gras—translated that means "big celebration in the Student lounge—better be there." BIG NEWS: Polly Lawman has made a discovery comparable to the one made in California in '49 —a Coast Guard basketball team turns out in the gym every day at 1 o'clock. Don't go crazy girls and drop your afternoon classes! Week's visitors include two men of the Army Air corps: Art Dorcy Pfc. now stationed at Pendleton, Oregon, and Lt Carl Westman. Both men are former students of WWC. That Army slang is really tricky —Horizontal Engineering is commonly known as sleep. Sheet music is another G. I. term for it. "Do you know what good clean fun is?" Asked the parson on his visit. "I'll bite," answered the girl curiously. "What good is it?" Betty Herr is threatening to change her surname to Himm. Himm? Hummm—just imagine a "Himm" living at the Dorm!—Carol Hanify lost "it" but it wasn't a little yellow basket—it was her "glamour glasses"—Hey ( check Aileen Gardiner's third finger, left hand. On it she wears a big d-i-a-m-o-n-d and I do mean engagement! Congratulations, Aileen. While eavesdrop—I mean, while passing a couple of frosh in the Co-op I accidentally heard one of them say, "Yeah, but you oughta see Bob DePastel handle a couple of chickens"—Does he mean the kind that lay eggs—or was that a bad yoke? Ugh. Snatches of sentences can be interesting! "Early to bed and early to rise" must be the motto of" Ye Olde Collegian editor or haven't you noticed . the bed in the Publications office? I think the Cubs figured at first that they might get to take naps during class. Crazy kids! CUTE JOKE: (I think.) Can you drive with one arm? Sure— Well, here. Have an apple- - Well, kids!

(I don't like to say anything but does that name sound familiar to you? Seems I've heard it before. Oh, well, on with the story, I always say). Anyhoo, this dame Ella was really a moron. One of her favorite diversions was to get back of the stove and give herself a hot-foot! The only exercise she got was haul-in' cinders from the kitchen range to the garbage can—it finally got so that the local yokels dubbed her Cinder Packin' Ella. Poor old Ella got to feelin' the male shortage same as the rest of us after her boyfriend was drafted so one night she put on her wolfin' clothes and headed for the swing-shift dance. 'Course she told her old lady that she was going to grandma's (what a corny gag) but her dear old grey haired mother replied sweetly—"Don't give me that old guff. I know where you're go-in' ". So the old girl grabbed her raincoat and the two of them started off. Taking a detour past Hollywood and Vine they managed to snag a couple of sailors and I do mean snag (they each had a beautiful gold plated bear trap—given for outstanding riveting at Lega and Key-heed Aircraft.) Name engraved on the side, too. Really sharp. While standing on the , sidelines at the big brawl, a choice lookin' soldier sauntered up to Cinder and inquired, "Have you got the time " "Sure," she replied, "I got the time but not the money." "I mean what does your watch say?" "Tick, tick, t i c k , . . ." "Forget it—I didn't want to know the time anyhow—just kiddin'." Will the handsome soldier find out the correct time? Will Cinderella ever learn to quit guff in' people? Will her mother get to dance? Be sure to read the next exciting episode in your weekly Collegian... (To be Continued ?)

Of course I read the story, and much to my amazed amusement I found the story contained the following facts. Four of the University's bigshots gave a FATHERLY (?) lecture to the freshmen Co-eds. In regard to drinking, it was decided that most boys don't like girls who drink. But petting—well, here is what one of the lecturers said: "Petting, some do and some don't, but women are like potatoes, too cold and men don't like them, "too hot and they get dropped, but when they are just comfortably warm OH, BOY!" .

Forgive me for what you are about to read. Since this is the last Norse Notes that will seep from my weary brain, I begin. Just picture yourself out on the water aboard a sleek steamer with a full silver moon showing down from a cloudless sky. The warm-ness of the air being reminiscent of a hot day now eclipsed by darkness, blowing short gasps simulating the sound of a pair of lounge jitter bugs cooling themselves with an iced drink in the twilight. Well, on this particular night the shore lights blinked and winked approval to many moonstruck couples who were either sitting close together in deck chairs, those were the sensible ones, or the ones that were trying to imitate canibalistic actions while going through the so called modern p r o c e s s of jitterbugging. The steamer itself seemed to catch the mood of the occasion and flattened each rowdy wave with a motherlike slap, slap of her prow. Then the intermission came with the last chorus of a trumpet, not blown,-but hitr like a mallet hits a chime, emitting a tone richness that could come only from the heart. . Did you eyer stop and think just what in the name of heaven jitterbugging is, and how it got started. A lot of us, who claim to be civilized, would rather do the "Texas Rag", or tire ourselves out with an arrangement of "Boogie Woogie" or some other thing, than eat. After visiting and observing at a recent dance just how jitterbugging looks, and especially when not done right, we thought we'd give you a little dope on how it got started. It was during the troublesome times of World War I that jazz first got its start. The most natural center for "this music was New Orleans where it was conceived by the negro bands. Oc-cassionally these negro bands went on tour as far as the Barbary Coast and New York, but remained far under the entertainment headlines. But the premier of jazz occurred on the night of January 26, 1917, when the Dixiefand Jazz Band opened in one of New York's fine restaurants. Nick LaRocca was the leader and he states the crowd that night was simply flabbergasted. Not a soul moved; no one knew what his special number was. But after his rendition of "Margie", that tune with a speciat emphasis, the crowd caught on and immediately jazz swept the nation. Jitterbugging is an a r t . It should be attempted after one solid week's rest, a good healthy diet and a rugged pair of shoes. When done correctly it looks swell, when done incorrectly its just the opposite. If you could only see yourself when jittering incorrectly you'd make a firm resolution never to venture out on any dance floor,, without proper instruction on its finer points.

University Group Will Present Shakespearean Plays Here "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Shakespeare's delightful fantasy, and "The Taming of the Shrew", a rollicking comedy, will be presented in the college auditorium Tuesday, April tenth, at 8:15 p. m. The Royal Theatre Players of the University of Washington will present stylized performances of the two plays. The players are a group of University students from all parts of the country who have spent the last few years starring in the famous Penthouse and Showboat Theatres. The cast presents Shakespeare with such zest and charm that it Photo by E. Blaine Frank Leslie Mapson plays the part ofOberon in "A Midsummer Night'sTDream", and acts Petruchio in "The Taming of the Shrew," which play he also directs. He is the son of a well-known stage favorite, and has carried on the family tradition by his excellent performances in campus productions and Army shows. Kuder—Registrar Dr. Merle F. Kuder, who recently returned to WWC after serving some time in the U.S. Navy, officially took over his position as registrar during the week of spring vacation. Dr. Kuder was registrar here before going into the service, and Dr. Arthur C. Hicks served as acting registrar in his absence. Dr. Hicks has now gone back to full-time teaching and his duties as head of the English department. —Photo by E. Blaine Pictured above is Miss Marrian Walters, star with the Royal Theatre Play?**. Miss Walters plays the part of Helena in "A Midsummer Nights Dream," and is cast as Katherina in "The Taming of the Shrew." ..She is well-known for her stellar performances in the Showboat and Penthouse Theatres, and also acts as director of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." has received great praise from experts. The cutting of the plays has also been praised. Unique sets and beautiful costumes a?e used to catch the period of the plays, and narration, music and quick scene changes are also utilized to accentuate the spirit of the story. Admission will be 65c for adults, and 40c for students, including tax. Tedford-Orphan Present Recital Ethel R. Strange will present two of her students, Doris Tedford and Jean Orphan, in an assembly program next Tuesday. The program follows a pattern from classical to contemporary music. It opens with Bach and continues from the eighteenth century classics through romantic and modern music. First on the program is a duo-piano number and following It is a group of solos by both girls. The program closes with the music of Darius Hilhaud, a contemporary French composer who Is on the faculty of Mills College. Staff Members Meet World Famous War Correspondent Following Talk When the big time newspaperman enters the small college news office and makes himself and his interviewers completely at home, it proves that his reputation as a top notch War Correspondent is justly deserved . . . that he would make any G-I realize that he is one "swell guy". With a single handclasp and smile, William Winter makes you feel that he is your friend. Just returned from the Philippine theater, particularly Leyte and Luzon, this dynamic personality tells with sureness his viewpoints of what America has as her future obligation. "We have too long consulted the past for our pattern for the future; and we must realize that the tactics of Washington and Lincoln are no longer applicable. Rather than trying to plan war strategy for another conflict, we must be concerned with why people go to war and what results they hope to gain from it. It is our duty as college students to discover the needs of our Asiatic neighbors and to understand their way of living. One of the first steps that must be taken is the abolishment of racial prejudices from which will evolve naturally the second and most important step; the knowing of these people. Only from these relations will result a unified Pacific rim." As Mr. Winter continued to an« swer our mass of questions, Dr. Haggard appeared at the door to remind him that the 1:30 bus would not wait, even for an internationally prominent figure. Annual Campus Day Activities Led By Jones And McNally Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, sophomores, have been appointed as co-chairmen of Campus Day, which is scheduled for May 9. Campus Day is the date on which all students and teachers skip school for one day and go on a glorious picnic, complete with food. Plans for this year's festivities are now underway, but announcement of the place has not yet been made. Local Alcohol Plant Visited By Studes Science, industrial arts and art students, about thirty in all, visited the new Ethyl Alcohol' plant last Thursday, March 29. The plant is part of the Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Company, which held "open house" the last week in March. This modern plant is the only one of its kind in the United States, although Sweden has some twenty such plants. The processes take the waste from the pulp mill, and through cooking, forms a sulphite liquor. The liquor is cooled, treated with lime slurry to counteract acids, and then fermented with yeast in giant barrel-shaped containers which are operated on a continuous set-up. The yeast is removed and the liquid is again heated. The finished product is 190 proof Ethyl alcohol which is used in making synthetic rubber and plastics. Over 5000 gallons per day is the expected output of the plant, at the present cost of ninety cents per gallon. Sixty Campus Coeds Called to Whidby A special invitation from Whidby Island NAS has been extended to sixty co-eds at WWC. Jack Tea-garden, hot trombone man, is making a special engagement at the "Yogi Palace", and the Navy has asked twice as many college girls to be their guests as last time, when some thirty-five girls attended a -Valentine's dance at the base. April nineteenth is the date, Edens Hall the starting place. Girls interested have signed with Lucille Bovee. The dance will be informal. WWC Teacher Joins Council Dr. Arthur C. Hicks of the English department was elected Council member of the American Association of University Professors this week. This organization of college v teachers has chapters all over the United States, Canada, and Hawaii. At present, the membership is just under 17,000, the highest it has been since it was founded thirty years ago. The executive body is called a Council and consists of thirty members; ten are chosen each year so that at all times each district has three members on the council. Dr. Hicks was chosen Council member from district Ten, which is comprised of the Pacific Coast states and Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, in addition to Hawaii and British Columbia. During wartime the organization meets once a year. This year the annual meeting will take place in Chicago, on the 18th and 19th of May. Dr. Hicks was the first president of the chapter, when it was founded at WWCE in 1939. At present he is secretary of the chapter, which now has sixteen members. ' Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones are well-qualified to fill their positions of co-chairmen, as both have been active in school affairs. Beverly has served on many school committees, and is chairman of Mothers' Weekend for Edens Hall, which is scheduled April twentieth. Lloyd also is active in extra-curricular work, and is well-known for his cheer-leading at basketball games. Board Picks Three Seattle Delegates Three delegates from WWC have been chosen to attend the Pacific S t u d e n t President's Asociation meeting at the University of Washington. This three day conference will include delegates from Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and British Columbia. The PCPA conference was national before the war, but is now divided into regions because of transportation difficulties. Doris Tedford, ASB president, Joan Haggard and Jean Orphan are the delegates named to attend the conference: UBC Visits Campus Twenty-two UBC students who are doing fifth year work visited the Western Washington campus on Thursday, April 5. They were on the campus during, the noon hour and were accompanied by instructor Jack MerrelX. This group was especially interested in visiting the campus school and viewing its modern educational system.

Adviser Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, April 6, 1945 oMoUali THERE IS A REASON The WWCollegian has been having more than its share of problems this quarter so I'd like to explain a few things before the questions begin to pour in. You've all heard just a little too much about the "man shortage" around here but' because of that factor your college paper?has become a woman's organization. Our main worry," however, is that there can no longer be a sports page unless some of the boys around school will pitch in and help in this crisis We don't like the strictly feminine element ourselves because we know that you who are in the service look to the sports page first, and we feel that we owe a debt to you first of all in sending the news that you want to hear. We've finally banged up against the wall though so while we continue waving the Help Wanted sign we want you to understand that there is nothing we can do—Now. • WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE? Assembly attendance took an . inspirational rise for the better last Tuesday when we had as guest speaker, William Winter, War Correspondent. For that we compliment you, but even more important is the question "Will you be in your place at the next assembly?" There has been a cam- .paign started on campus to make the students see the value of our assembly program. A committee has met'and brought up the pro's and con's of a compulsory assembly attendance. There are of •course arguments for both sides but our assemblies are scheduled and it involves a large expense to bring speakers and performers to our stage for our benefit. It is up to us to- p r o v e ourselves old enough to enjoy these personages who appear at our college. We have a great many people who are well worth seeing and hearing yet students stay away from assemblies in hordes, mainly because they do not realize what they are missing. Until a definite plan of action has been formulated for assembly attendance let's all show - up at those 11 o'clock hours and see what is going on. They are more interesting than many of you think. • SIGN YOUR NAME We received an anonymous letter in the Collegian box last week for the Letting Off Steam column but had to shelf it because no name was attached. As we have said before, we are always willing Letting Off Steam!! One Opinion As an experiment, the Board of Control has put a glass top on one of the lounge tables. Needless to say, this protects the surface of the table, but1 it is costly. It also will make them difficult to stack, as they have been when there are social functions in the lounge. * With help, the tables will stay nice without them. This means using ashtrays and not upsetting them. It means not setting your ice cream bars and wet coke bottles on them, and above all, not marring or nicking the surface by hitting them with hard objects such as ping pong paddles. The Lounge looks nice. Over the vacation the entire floor was refin-ished. It is well worth remembering that the lounge is one place where visiting servicemen and other guests can tell what type of student you are—because cards, chips and cigarette butts all over the floor don't give the impression of tidiness. X.Y.Z. Weather to Suffer The Snows And— We can say one thing about Washington weather — it's changeable. It's a brave man who sets up a weather station, hangs out a thermometer and goes to work as a weather forecaster. All winter long we've waited for at least a little of that pretty white stuff that comes every January. Just when everyone had given up, the March that had come in like a lamb stormed out like a lion. Suddenly realizing that it had concentrated almost entirely on rain, it let down the doors of the heavens and released its store of snow and hail for the whole month. Then as a final resume of the month's weather, a little rain and a few rays of sunlight were thrown in. Whether it was an April fool or just an innocent new month that didn't know that life is not all sunshine, Easter Sunday looked like a newly washed window. According to an old saying, "If it rains on Easter it will rain every Sunday for seven Sundays." Could that mean we'll have seven more sunny Sundays? to print student comments but the name of the writer must be known to the editor before the 'article can be published. 9 CAMPUS DAY Campus- Day is only a month away and it is time we all began to muster a lot of enthusiasm for this big spring event. If you don't know much about it now, ask questions and you upperclassmen that have been on Campus Day's in years past, start the publicity so that everyone will know about our all day picnic. It's great fun for everyone so we want everyone to pitch in right from the first to make it a big success this year. Shall We Have All Attend? "Should we or should we not be compelled to attend assemblies," has been the subject of much discussion among the students this week. In taking a poll around school we found about ^35% of the students in favor .of compulsorary attendance, 55% against, and 10% undecided or didn't care. Some of the student opinions are quoted as follows: Pro: CHERYL SMITH: "—should be compulsory, but with more cots." M A R I L Y N BOORAS: "—the school pays, we ought to go." CYNTHIA SYTSMA: "—all but the musicals." BEVERLY McNALLY: "It is so embarrassing for performers to appear in a half empty auditorium." A L I C E MARIE ANDERSEN: "The assemblies help to build a well-rounded education." Con: NINA GREENWOOD: "We ought to be old enough to know whether or not we wish to attend an assembly." LLOYD JONES: "No." MARILYN ANDERSON: "—Not unless one is interested." P E G G Y C U S T E R : "Nobody should be told they have to do anything." BETTY PEASTER: "—we're paying—." MARGARET RUTLEDGE: "NO." Qa.m vri She: You remind me of the ocean. He: Because I'm wild, daring, and romantic? She: No, because you make me sick. Beneath this sod a Miner lies, They brought him here today. He led the life of Riley When Riley was away. —The Ubyssey The University has put out a Newsletter similar to the one we published last year, informal but informative, with pictures and post war plans. Earl Carroll again turns to College beauty. This time he chose a campus queen for his ten day Fat Stock Show (This has nothing to do with the girl's figure) in Fort Worth. The girl is Virginia Dew, a music major and after her ten days as queen she will tour in twelve states and finally join the cast of Earl Carroll's Vanities in Hollywood. —North Texas State Teachers' College. more hhoowwhls HARBORVTEW NEWS— Harborview had its annual Easter breakfast last Sunday, after the girls had attended church en masse.

Weather permitting, many of our outing fans will arise early Saturday morning to sail all the way over to Sinclair Island. We are anticipating a great time at the WWC cabin, and with the island's spacious hiking grounds. The annual swimming meet seems to be the coming thing in the sports world at WWC. Both men and women will be participating-in this riotous event. If you are able to swim and dive with any skill you can sign tip to take part in this meet. Let's make this contest the best ever! In summarizing the nation-wide sport news, we find that Alex Palica, 19-year old pitcher just out of a San Diego high school, made a sensational debut with the Seattle Rainiers Monday night as he held the Padres to three hits and beat them, 12 to 1, in his first professional ball game. This news item might interest all sport fans . . . .from New York comes the information that college football was given a lift by the reappearance of the T-formation. The right to pass from any point behind the line of scrimmage adds punch to the offense while the new rule which allows a substitute to report to any of the officials on the field adds to the game. In the Pacific Coast league we find that the Los Angeles Angels walloped the San Francisco Seals, 16 to 3. Dick Powers stopped the Hollywood Stars for the Sacramento Solons with a score of 9 to 1. The Oakland Acorns counted two runs in the first inning, but from there on, were held scoreless as the Portland Beavers scored nine on 12 hits for a 9 to 2 victory. This win enabled the Beavers to keep pace with the Seattle Rainiers at the head of the Coast league standing. Prom Los Angeles comes word that Bert LaBrucherie, U.C.L.A. halfback from 1926 to 1928, was signed as the Bruins* head football coach for three years. He played on U.C.L.A. elevens under Bill Spaulding, now d sector of athletics, and was on the 1927 team which brought the school its first Southern California conference championship. Here are the results of the DePaul and Oklahoma A. M. game . . . the battle for the final national basketball championship . . . came out wjth a score of 52-44 in favor of the Oklahoma Aggies. Annual Swim Frolic Shows Topflight Stars Set For Intramural Race Spring Sport Fans Schedule Variety WRA held registration in the main hall.Monday and Tuesday of this week. The first activity of the season will be the initiation tea in the Blue Room Wednesday, April 11. All old and new members are urged to attend, for at that time activities for the quarter will be discussed. Intramural Softball With spring on hand, all Softball fans will be out on the baseball diamond next week. This plans to be a whopper of an intra-mural tournament. Last year, the intra-mural meet proved to have a considerable amount of competition between the equally selected teams of men and women. If you are interested in getting into a good old baseball game, sign up on the WRA bulletin board. These turnouts will be held every Thursday afternoon at four, so let's see everyone out there next Thursday prepared to hit a homer. Sailors Go Aboard WRA is sponsoring a boat trip to VT-Queen Lodge on Sinclair Island this Saturday, weather permitting. The mailboat, Osage, leaves the People's Dock at seven a. m. and returns to Bellingham around five o'clock in the afternoon. "Everyone is urged to come as we want this to be a successful trip," stated Barbara teHennepe, WRA outing chairman. Early Birds Limbering Here in the WWC pool will be staged the annual swim meet. This year's date is the 20th and when that day arrives many proficient swimmers will be out to break a record. ; Today the roster for the Big Annual Swim Frolic was closed with a likely looking bunch of splashers on hand. The girls competition looks exceptionally strong with many star performers returning for another try at the records. With Spring sports taking over, many a sore back, arm and leg may be seen about the old campus. Many an early bird found the weather a bit too chilly for limbering up the pitching arm or the tennis racquet. George Jurgens almost broke his back in trying out his service in the net sport. However, Chug-Chug is looking for some cat-gut competition, and has high hopes of getting an intra-mural tennis meet underway, if not a.team of club swingers. BASEBALL STARS Jack Danley, a new freshman has been showing good form on the tennis courts this spring. A left-handed punch has been exhibited by Tom Riddle, a former Gonzaga boy. Lloyd Jones is back playing his usual rock 'em, sock 'em type of tennis. Bob Pavlicek, a shorty himself, believes in grabbing the racquet by« the throat, and using it in much the same manner as a ping pong paddle. Jack Graham has shown well in early season turnouts with the Bellingham Bells and may make a starting position on the semi-pro -nine. Jim Gilday the standby shortstop for the Bells has also been turning out on week-ends. LUNCrfES SANDWICHES Crystal Ackerman, who set a new 25 yard womens back stroke record last year, may be out trying to lower the mark. Other standbys and top female performers are Iris Bowden, a fine stylest Alice Marie Anderson, an all event performer, Jean Hochsheid a Portland product with outstanding aquatic ability. DARK HORSES Jean has a powerful crawl stroke and has shown amazing ability. Another swimming class likely is Pat Fromely. who may surprise us in any of the events. Among the few boys in school this quarter there has been a decided lack of enthusiasm for this big annual event. The free style events have attracted the most interest, with Loyd Jones, the favorite, to take most of the events. Jones last year placed a close second to Paul Foster, the Lake Chelan champ, in the 50 yard free style jaunt. Competition in the 50 and 100 yard go's will be offered to Dale Burklund, a swimming class prospect, Bob Pavelicek, the Snohomish buzzbomb, and Jack Graham, the big Canadian boy. ~I FOSTER MISSING With the absence of Paul Foster, a likely record breaker, very much in evidence, the swim affair this year will lack it's usual color and diving exhibition. However, the Blue Barnacles will give a ballet and water exhibition. The green enthusiastic competition should add a great deal of fire to the meet. El. Anderson, in charge of getting the roster filled is doing a magnificent job. The Blue Barnacles helped by the other girls organizations, has a well planned program with as such color added as possible for the material available. "There will probably be few, if any, records broken on the 20th," explained Mrs. Christensenj "but we hope that close races and good competitive spirit will make the meet a; success."

Well we've tried hard, very hard, to write our thoughts of this fifth war time college year and we hope we haven't irked you too much. We've enjoyed every moment of it, even though that Thursday morning deadline was a bit tough to make sometimes. Before I put my antiquated Underwood to bed for the remainder of the duration, I'd like to pay tribute to one of the finest and grandest men that I've ever known. This man possesses great energy and enthusiasm for the school and its students and former students. I admire him for his faithfulness to a major share of former students, who are in the service, so that we may enjoy and have the things they are fighting for. His letters to his boys, as he puts them, are a never ending joy. GEORGE DACK, even though he isn't blessed with a so-called modern cultural background, that so many of us seemingly think we have, gets my vote for Western Washington's grand old man. I'm proud to say, as would hundreds of others, that he is my friend, and that his philosophy and wise sayings will live long in my memory during my journey through life. "30" Well, this is the last NORSE NOTES to be turned over to edit-oress Bovee. In the not too distant future, and with God's grace, I am hoping to be with the Maritime School for officer candidates at Alameda, Calif. So to all my friends, and my always faithful reader, MR. HURD, I say just "so long," not "good bye". Goodbye is too final and I know, as all of us know, that with our resourcefulness and with lots and lots of that famous Yankee spirt, "it'W be a short game." Nu-Way Shoe REBUILDERS 107 W.

House Howls Have you ever come across a question in a newspaper or magazine and wondered about it? Perhaps you disagreed. Have you ever had the urge to Write out your views? College students are the people who should be reading and thinking and Writing about the questions and problems confronting our country and world today. Whether we agree or disagree, it is we who are affected by the problems, and it is We who must decide what is to be done. Thinking is really not enough; there must be action. Share your views and talk about them. We are going to provide a chance to share views. It will not be blowing off steam, but rather a discussion of opinions. A current problem will be chosen each week and the best answers will be printed. It is • not for just a few, but for all the students to make suggestions and give your answers.

Jack Dawson, prominent Norseman member, also voiced hisopinion, "I am wholly behind this dance and want to see. all the fellas there." For the i past weekpublicity has been displayed. The Norseman dance will be the last event of the year. Dress for theoccasion is informal: suits and ties for men, and dresses and heels for women. It is preferred thatcorsages be omitted. Dean of Men McDonald stated, "It's going to be the best dance of the year andanyone who doesn't attend will be missing something." One Act Play On!

Members of the recreation 290 class, are learning thisthe hard way. Especially are they prepared for high water. Monday evening Bellingham had 2.24 inchesof rainfall, an all-time high. Monday evening members of the rec 290 class, Miss Pat Heiber inductor,Miss Elizabeth Daniel, Edens hall dietition, and Ray Cis-zek, of men's PE department spent the evening at Lakewood, outside! At 10 a slight drizzle descended on the campers but since they were inwaterproof sleeping bags, they didn't mind. At 2 the drizzle, had changed to plain old rain. Thinking thateven heavy rain could happen to camp counselors, seven people did not join the mass migration into thecabin. WaKing up in the morning to find lakes on their sleeping bags, but perfectly dry, were BettyBerentson, Joan Cornell, Marcella Hoffert, Lora Lee Sovde, Mrs. May-reld Swanson, Carl Linde, and Bob Porter. Gragg, Hunt, Hoppe Retire at Quarters End{ Thomas F. Hunt, associate professor ofgeography, is retiring after 37 years of service to WWC as an instructor in the social studies. Mr. Huntmade ' an imporant contribution to the teaching of the state with his chapter in the textbook,"Geography of the Pacific Northwest," which is still in use throughout the state. Hunt's most recentcontribution was to the Freeman magazine of last December when he wrote for a symposium dealing with "The Failure of American Education." Edward J. Arntzen, chairman of the Social Studies department,said today, "A significant part of Mr; Hunt's teaching at WWC has been his generous allotment of timeto conference with students in his classes." Mr. Hunt's plans for the future will be announced at a laterdate. "I am really looking forward to this time in my life," said Miss Georgia Gragg. 'It will be a life goingon, doing things that I've never had time to -do." Since Miss Gragg came to Western, 32 years ago,there have been four presidents, Dr. George Nash, Dr. Dwight B. Waldo, C. H. Fisher, and Dr. W. W.Haggard. She has been very- active in alumni affairs and contributed greatly to their association as wellas devoting much time to the Community Chest. "Looking back is fine, at times like the 50th anniversary of the college, but most of us need to look forward and go on to the future," she explained. . "I read avery fine statement the other day which represents my philosophy," she said. "The past is cancelled checks, the present is cash, and the future is promissory notes." "I am not interested in what. is behind me, but in what is around the corner," explained Victor H. Hoppe, retiring head of the WWC speechand" drama departments. Letters, one from a state justice, have begun to come in from all over the state since Hoppe announced his resignation, but, as he explained,. "I am not retiring, just changing,professions." Looking ahead, Hoppe says he is entering a-new profession, that of writingâ€”not, asrumored, that of raising chinchillas. He is completing work on the first of three planned books. Hoppe,who holds decrees from Denison and Northwestern universities, has been the power behind seventy-five student productions here, including the recent "Life With Father" and "Merchant of Venice." ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1952 May 23 - Page 2 ---------- Letterstothe^ Editor Editor of the Collegian: As faculty representatives on the exchange assembly trip,;we feel that there are three comments we should like to make: 1. Caliber of performance was very high.Nothing but complimentary remarks was heard from CWCE students and faculty. We played to apacked house." 2. Billie Reposa, Dick Wahl, and Larry Wilson are to be commended on their fine job oforganization of both trip and program. 3. And this is the main point we have to make: The facultyrepresentatives were just along for the ride. There was nothing approaching a "disciplinary" problemand the student sthemselves assumed all responsibilities. It was a pleasure tc accompanythem.â€”Patricia Hieber, Herbert C. Taylor.

In some cases, however, scores have increased or decreased as much as twenty points foran individual. No statements can be made regarding group increases or decreases until the statisticalanalysis has been completed.

Convenient Terms Muller Aspbnd 1Â«4 E. Hotly American Man Chained Slave; Female On Ivory Pedestal Gazing through theback issues of the Collegian I came upon an unusual ad in the April 25 issue. It was a rather large adwhich announced to the world that this person had a one-half carat diamond engagement ring for sale. To me there was a note of bitterness in the notation that the ring had never been worn. Has the ritualof proposal come to the point where a moment can send crashing into dust the dreams of a month, or ayear, or perhaps even years. Must the proposal come in a hushed voice as if a slave were asking for aboon? Must the male come humbly on his knees to the female and beg her to accept the jeweled band?A band which, I may add, he probably signed away half his life to purchase. The female American mindhas come to have a quirk in it. They seem to enjoy torturing. the poor male. They have put themselveson ivory pedestals from which they descend only when carried in a pine $6x. They stand on this pedestal and rule the world as their whims direct. Etiquette demands that the male protect the female from realand imagined dangers. They rule and yet they seem to serve. Even the acceptance of the band does not give the male any assurance. For, before the addition of the second band she may return the first and seek other more alluring prey. Yet the laws of the United States are such that if the female seeksgreener pastures she may return both bands and again begin t he hunt and the stalking. Tradition haschained us and we are not free. We are slaves to the female and that nebulous institution called L-O-V-E. What is it? A weapon or a disguise for the rulers? â€”Jim Simon. WHITE HOUSE mHRKET FORFOOD . . .

Tripple of Seattle, in company with D. F. Trunkey, state representative . from Bellingham, visited the Normal School, Wednesday to survey the needs of the institution. Pres. C. H. Fisher showed them around the buildings and after quite a thorough inspection had been made the committee reported that they had observed that among the schools greatest needs are a library and a gymnasium, and that these should be provided as soon as possible. Also they observed that the school is too crowded. The legislators said that they are in: terested in a building program for state institutions in need of more room and they will have something to say when the legislature sits again. The committee lunched at Edens Hall. The Normal will also be inspected during the early part of the summer by Governor Roland H., Hartley, who is making a survey of EastenrvVashington schools at' present. Mrs. Maude Sweetman, another member of the King County delegation in the house of representatives and a member of the house educational committee, arrived in the city Wednesday afternoon to also examine the needs of the school, accompanied by Mr. Trunkey. She was very favorably impressed with the present conditions and the future nee/ls. ANNOUNCEMENT The Normalstad picnic which was planned for Saturday, June 6th, has been called off as it was found it would con-flick with the Alumni Banquet. Since there have/ already f been two picnics, ,; one'iheday of the^ Chuckanut gt;Marathpn and!1 Another oh the Sneak .Day, it was c though ;;; of ^the •; school;ftp; making the banquet ;a |,"; lt;»jirpte^^ Equally as entertaining ana good as the previous Normal Drama~Club plays, "The Potters" is ready for the presentation on Monday and Tuesday' of next week. In Heywood Broun's criticism of it, he says: "I think that McEvoy (the author) is a realist. I think that he is the sort of stout-hearted truth-teller that American dramatic literature has languished for the want of, already much too long. "I have called McEvoy a realist partly because he does not try to pretend that the life of the Potters is any better than it is, but more because he seems to me to be so truthful in this matter of life's saving grace. He does not try to foist on us any conviction that anything can come along and make Mr. Potter's life actually better. What he does say is that about once in so often Mr. Potter will be attacked by a sort of divine lunacy, and will go out and buy an oil well, or throw some other grotesque anchor to windward, and will be revived by it, whether it is successful or not. He says further that Mr. Potter cannot help doing this. Miles are Measured. "Once upon a time, man's duty to the race was fairly measured by the amount he could add to the total of man's usable environment. It had to be measured in miles. Now the miles are measured and the maps are made. But the explorers cannot stop. There are ourselves still to be understood. McEvoy has pried into us. He has brought back one authentic story. His place is waiting for his next return." (sto,moreulyby....l Baccalaureate Services for the June graduates will be held in v the Normal Auditorium,, Sunday, June 7, at 3 P. M.

At the beginning of the day the children are having their lunch on Sehome hill. Activities on the campus will start at 1:30 o'clock with a posture parade. The grades from the second up to the. eighth will take part in this parade. Five judges have been chosen to decide which grade will receive first place in the posture parade. The points to be judged upon in this are whether the children march with their heads and chests up, expresing an ease of movement in marching showing also that they can carry themselves in an erect, mature position. Each Grade Entertains. At the close of the parade, the children will sit on the grass and each grade in turn will present either folk dances, singing games or stunts for the entertainment of the other grades. This is selected from the work they do the year round. For the conclusion of the program, the youngsters will scatter to their various groups about .the^campus, where they will play and take part in games suitable for their age. gt; It is- through the efforts of Miss Rich, Miss Frank, MhisSkailey arid Mr. Davis that this Play^ Day has beenarranged. : Student helpers7 will assist in the pro- ^gram.'v.';?..;r.: ; ,v;i^'-/.:\-•:•;;:'•.."',:••:';:}. i:-^v\V;- Tomorrow evening the Alumni association of the Normal will have its business meeting and banquet for this year's graduates.

Vacancies are now open for two new members to the Editorial Council. Margaret Black who was elected last quarter, and Rose Gray elected during the fall quarter are the members leaving. Rose Gray will be gone for the first six weeks of the summer quarter.' The members of the Editorial Council, meet once a week to discuss and criticize each issue of the paper. Many changes for the better have come thru their efforts Last quarter there were seven applicants for the two positions then open.

Some of you have not been slow to tell me what you think an editor should or shouldn't do. Now let me give mv ideal of student reaction to the school paper. An absolutely merciless criticism would be paramount. Which does not mean, that physical violence should be threatened for misspelling a name (yes,- it really has happened). It simply means that you should not he afraid to point out what you think is wrong with the paper, at any time. Nor should you be at all backward with your praise for the improvement in the paper. Just remember that each change is made, not for the personal satisfaction of the editor but to t r y to give you a better paper. REPORTER ENDS TRIP IN TRAINING SCHOOL Grammar Grades Are Last to Be Examined. r '•- • (By Anna Hansen) Going on through the seventh A grade we found them working out a radio project in which both the boys and girls were taking part. They were learning the various parts, the history of the radio and how to make one. The seventh B's were doing extensive work in learning the description and habits of birds—they were able to name and describe over fifteen varieties as well as recognize them when seen. Both of the divisions are planning an assembly in music in which folk song are to be the main theme. A secret as a surprise to the rest of the pupils was connected with this with which the children were much delighted. The Merchant of Venice with the study of Shylock as the principal character, was being prepared as part of the regular work in the eighth grade room. Later this is to be acted as a play without the costumes and given in the assembly which will no doubt prove the ability of these "Elizabethan" actors. Orchestra Important. An eighth grade Glee Club and Training School orchestra are other important features of this group. As a part of a future musical program in the assembly they are going to explain the orchestra . and give a. history of the musical instruments While the regular Thursday assembly which displays some grades activity to the enjoyment of all seemed the most popular phase of the indoor school life, baseball was the supreme outdoor favorite. Girls play against boys and teams against teams with the keenest enjoyment and good fellowship.'

Many are disappointed for then, it will be no easy task to secure signatures for their "Lest We For: get" Column. Why wouldn't it be all I right for the student association to se-jcure for each student a blank double ' page, matching those of the Klipsun, and one that could be attached inside the back cover of the book later on? These could be sold for just a few cents to each-student, Monday and Tuesday of next week, and the desired names could be secured before school is out.

FitzGerald and !Leach led at 5-3, point match, 5-4, 6-5, and 7-5, but at each crucial time, Broadbent and Hannah's tournament experience came to their aid and they pulled out" of each hole, finally copping the last set 9-7.

After four hours of climbing, the hikers reached the top of Mt. Constitution, a hike of about six and one-half miles. Those who had not eaten their lunch on the way up, enjoyed theirs at the top, and it is reported that, some who, had brought enough for two meals, found that they were not the least bit uncomfortable after eating their whole lunch. Those who went to the lake, enjoyed a day of swimming. The boat left Olga at five o'clock, and all those who went reported a good time. Foiled.. Terence: "'Tis a fine lad ye have there.

SUNSET TRAIL SCENE OF CAMP FIRE PICNIC Girls Enjoy Supper and Program in Open Air. Miss Rosene's group of Camp Fire girls had a very enjoyable picnic Monday evening. They started about five o'clock and went to the end of Sunset Trail where they were to have had their supper. Soon after arriving, various activities such as gathering wood, making salad, baking biscuits, etc., were started. Each girl mixed her own biscuit dough and baked her biscuits over the fire. This was done in various ways, some baked theirs in pans, some rolled the dough around sticks, and others" twisted it spirally around sticks. Anyway, the biscuits, were a real success. Baked Beans Served They had beans "baked in a hole." The beans were prepared early Monday morning by Sarah Farmer and baked by Ella Evanson who got up early in the morning and dug a hole in thd ground, lined it with rock, built a fire i nit, and later in the day put the bean pot into the hole. They were acclaimed by the girls to be the most delicious beans they had ever eaten. Cocoa, and bacon were also served. After supper there was a program of different kinds of demonstrations. Miss Myrtle Carlson and Ailo Osterlund built and demonstrated various kinds of outdoor fires and their uses. Ruby Foster gave a demonstration on "How to make Trails" by means of stone, grass, smoke, blazing, etc. Practice Tying Knots Alice Vaughn and Elsa Schubert taught the girls how to roll their ponches. Agnes Sunnel taught them how to tie several important kinds of knots and everybody practiced making them. After that they sang songs around the camp fire and acted them out in motion. They also had a marshmallow toast. Miss Gunther was guest of honor. Miss Rosene, leader of the group, was also with the girls. Some of the things learned at the picnic will be practiced at the end of the quarter when some of the girls will go camping and sleep outdoors.

She was led into the dark, quiet reception room and greeted by all the girls as the lights suddenly flashed on. Taps were, ignored and the evening was spent in singing and dancing. The girls presented Miss Headrick with a beautiful desk set. At a luncheon in the Leopold Hotel Tuesday afternoon, the newly formed Mt.

This work has been done with the aim in mind of standardizing conditions among the approved houses and of improving such conditions as are found to fall below the requirements of the school. The information has been brought together in the form of a questionnaire, covering the following points: Name and experience as housemother, whether the address of housemother, number of years home is rented of owned, method of heating and lighting house, kind of fuel used, plumbing conditions, ventilation facilities, laundry privileges, number of bathrooms, provision for hot water and baths, extent of living room privileges, and the type of furniture for the rooms. A floor plan, accompaning a chart of the individual room's of each home, serves to give very detailed information concerning the size of rooms, ventilation, types of beds, advantages and disadvantages of furnishings and the cost of room per month. A double filing card 5X8 inches has been prepared, giving all this information regarding each house. Index System Used. An index system is used which facilitates the work of locating the homes offering the conditions desired. For instance, one student may desire a bay view home with single room, furnace heat, and with use of piano. Another may wish a double room with sleeping porch and housekeeping privileges, at a distance not exceeding three blocks from the school. One only has to press the button, as it were, and such homes as meet the conditions are brought from the filing case in a twinkling of an eye. Accompaning this general information is specific information regarding housekeeping accomodations, conditions under which cooking is done, equipment furnished, etc. Further work will be carried on by the health committee next year in checking up the combination of food used in the diet of those doing light housekeeping and the healthful conditions prevailing. Bellingham's rare musical treat is. to be given by the University of California Glee Club in the Whatcom High School auditorium tomorrow night. Twenty-five favorite songs representing the best talent to be found in the big "U" have a varied program of classics, popular numbers, jazzy orchestrations, and clever antics that quite captures every audience. A tour of Europe and the Orient has just recently been completed by the club where- big hits were made in Shanghai, Honolulu, Hongkong, Berlin, Manila, and many other leading musical cities. The expenses of the trip were raised by the entertainments, and critics everywhere are loud in their praise of the delightful and fascinating style and high grade Vof program. Clinton Morse, director of the club, was a student member thirty, years ago. After extensive study in this country and abroad, he was well qualified for the position, and much credit for the club's success is due him. CLUBS GIVE PROGRAM Different Repersentatives Give Clever Attraction. Last Tuesday's assembly was given over to a joint recital of different clubs of the school. Mary Culver had charge of the program, which was varied and interesting. Readings, songs and music renderings and clever sketches were included. The clubs represented were the Philos, Thespians, Alethians, and the MacDowell. Candidates for the board of control were nominated and presented. The candidates nominated are, Inez Clark, Elsie Holland and Floid Van Eet-ten. o V W J W W W W W W W W W W W The Alumnae Association of the Cheney Normal recently established a student loan fund.

Each of the works is reprinted from some national magazine, which testifies to the excellence of the productions. TRAINING SGHOOt HlSlTORy IS GIVEN Birdseye Vie\^ Obtained of Practice Grades. EDENS HALL INFORMAL SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR The Wisteria dance, given as the spring informal at Edens Hall, was decidedly the best dance of the year. The reception hall was beautifully decorated to give a Japanese affect. A fence with wisteria and vines climbing over it, hid the fireplace and a garden gate carried out the idea of a garden. During the moonlight waltz, the best dance of the evening, a large mooa peered from behind the fence. Two girls dressed in Japanese costumes, served the punch. The favors were tiny butterflies on one of which was printed the name of the girl. Larger butterflies were used in the decorations to carry out the spring time motiff. The excellent music was furnished by Schirmann's orchestra, and was enjoyed by about fifty couples which made the hall comfortably full. Much credit for the success of the affair is due Geraldine Windes, social chairman, and her various hard working committees. • -——o——- Miss Jones' spent Wednesday of last week visiting the boys' and girls' training schools of the state.

Show more1944_0630 ---------- WWCollegian - 1944 June 30 - Page 1 ---------- x.ook .... By WALT BAKEB THE FUTURE Others write about the future, so why not you and I? The fact is none of us know anything' about it, but it serves to place us on a common footing and to give us an equal opportunity to prophesy without the gift of prophecy. One favorite of prophecy is to ^predict what would have happened in the past had this or that taken place. Such prophets assure you, just as if they knew, that if some singular event such for instance as the Black Death or the Versailles treaty, had never been foisted upon the world by the permission of providence or the stupidity of men, the whole course of subsequent European history would have been different or, at least, we would not now be fighting World War II. • One reads and hears such statements, and lets them pass without controversy — tolerates them for what the are, somebodys guess. One doesn't take the trouble to point out that the events of history are never so nicely predictable. He doesn't demand a show of casual connection between what actually did not occur, but which might have occurred had the situation been otherwise. He doesn't demand it, because he knows it cannot be shown. • To' say that Johnny would have become an excellent musician had his teacher not died of the gout before, the fifth lesson is over, simplifies the case. It is granting too much to the teacher and too little to Johnny. It is far more difficult to prophesy about the future— For here; we are" not dealing with agents dead and gone who did one thing, when they might have happened had they acted differently. A Friend Says: In that vein, a well-read friend of mine, right here at Western Washington, claims that the postwar world will not belong to us who, while our men are fighting for us Over there, are working out plans for what is to come, but to the twelve million men in the services themselves when they get home. This is pure prophecy, for with full regard for my friend's learning, I say he is simply guessing. He can have no way of knowing what he says with certainty. He vrests his whole case, as he must, upon certain present indications, and then concludes a result. And it is just that element of inevitability that is always absent from the affairs of free men, which makes anthing like a prediction of what the are going to do at some future time, something unreliable, just anybody's guess.

Hood, assistant professor of music education in the University of Michigan and supervisor of music in Ann Arbor city schools, concluded her part in the Music Week program. , "Years ago," declared Miss Hood, "people were able to give more of their leisure time to enjoying music; whereas, now, theatres, dances and travel take up our spare moments." She suggested that people will learn to understand and appreciate music when they learn to devote, time to it as an end in itself rather than as a background to other activity. ' .''' Upped Enrollment Not Complete Although complete statistics are not available, enrollment for the summer session is expected to total over 300 students, according to information released M)y Dr.. W. W. Haggard. This number is greater than the enrollment last year at the same time. Complete infomation will not be available for some time. Various groups are entering the College for different conferences, workshops, short sessions, and institutes and it will be necessary to wait until registration for these affairs is closed. WWC STAMP SALES HIGH Students, faculty, and staff members purchased stamps and bonds totaling $32,282.25 for the year 1943 and 1944, according to information released by Dr. W. W. Haggard; This total also includes the sales in the Campus school. , Quiz Results Uphold Poll "What We Don't Know Is" Likely to Hurt Us," pertains to WWC as well as Jto the nation. This fact was revealed in tests given by Miss Nora B. Cummins, history instructor, to her spring quarter history 3 and her summer history 1 and history 129 classes. Hadley Cantril, Director of Public Opinion Research, Princeton university, in the New York Times article mentioned above said that Americans are not only self-centered but ill-informed on world affairs. Adults Differ The article stated that 27,000,000 United States adults do not know that the Japanese have taken the Philippines. Of the 57 WWC students taking the test prepared by Miss Cummins, 11 did not know that the Japanese control the Philippines. Two of our students had never heard or read about the Atlantic Charter, and 34 could not designate one provision of the Charter. The national survey showed that 54.000,000 Americans had never heard of the Atlantic Charter. Twelve of our students could not name one provision of the American Bill of Rights. Eight did not know that we have received reverse lend lease from Great Britain, and 27 did not know that a peace treaty is appoved by the President and a 2/3 majority of the senate. Twenty- six here did not know that the state governments decide who can vote in presidential elections, and 60,000,000 of the United States adults do not know who decides the (Continued on Page Three) Attention Graduates Students who expect to receive degrees or war emergency certificates in August are asked to check the list posted on., the main bulletin board for corrections of spelling, for omissions and for correctness of the paper they are to receive. Students now in school must make application for these degrees "and certificates before July 1 or pay a two dollar late fee. Many Complete Music Week People from all over the state as well as many regularly enrolled students audited the classes in curriculum problems and in music techniques and materials conducted by Marguerite Hood last week. In adidtion to these classes Miss Hood devoted one and one-half hours each day to work with groups from the workshop, helping to solve special problems. "Miss Hood's teaching had an inspirational quality," stated Miss Mira Booth music instructor with whom Miss Hood worked. "She made the classroom teacher believe that even with little or no preparation, he could still enrich the childrens musical experience," Miss Booth went on to say. Miss Hood fitted this conference in between her regular work as asr sistant professor of Music Education in the University of Michigan and supervisor of music in Ann Arbor city schools, and her special work with college and graduate classes at the National Music Camp at mterldcnen, Michigan. Meet Ends in Resume by Tyler, Hicks ^ Tyler Speeches Place Stress On Educational Improvement, Coordination by All Concerned "To improve, instruction and to better coordinate parent-teacher efforts to educate the child should be the goal of our evaluation programs in education," stated Dr. Ralph W.

We hope you have enjoyed your visit, that you have had time to inspect the improvements and additions on our campus, that you . have renewed many . friendships, and' made new ones. And we'll be seeing you next summer. • • • Yesterday-saw the; opening of a conference on our Campus which was scheduled to aid each of us in the evaluation of individual and group teaching. This conference is headed; by prominent national and northwest educators, men and women who. are able to help us develop an overall view of the problems before us as teachers. Your • WWCollegian sincerely hopes each of you have at-' . tended as many of these sessions as possible. This conference was planned, not in order that these speakers could have the opportunity to travel to our fair city, but rather that we as students, yes, and as educators, would have the opportunity of hearing the sug-- gestions these people can give us so that we will be better able to evaluate "Education in War and Peace." However, we must remember that the prescribing of medicine by a physician can do the patient no good unless the directions are followed. So must we as teachers remember that evaluation does no good unless the prescription for improvement is followed. The article by Hadley Cantril, Director of Public Opinion Research, ." •, Princeton ' University, speaks of the part educators must play in getting the American public to crawl out of its shell and .view the world as a whole. Statistics obtained locally from Miss Cummins' classes would lead us to believe that we as educators i should make it our responsibility to educate ourselves so that in a few years these startling figures released by Mr. Cantril will be reduced to lesser numbers. We as a nation should not be so self-centered as to believe that the only things of importance to us are those things which immediately affect our security. It is our job , to educate people to be far-sighted "enough to vision the effect that; wol-ld conditions will !have on , ipur persbnal affairs. ; .; A good time was had by a l l . . at the clam-bake-oops, salmon bake at the Rocks.

Such ; a.quotation seems exceedingly apropos especially at the present time. Those of you who missed the performance of the modern dance group from Oregon State College last Tuesday evening, missed an impressive and entertaining fete. Miss Betty Lynd Thompson, director of the group and Physical director at Oregon State • College, led her fine, attractive dancers through a program of varied routines of modern dance. Novel Opening The opening dance was a greeting to the audience by Miss Thompson. The words danced, rather than being spoken, the audience was teased away from the traditional. The art of falling in the dance tempo was thoroughly displayed,- along with other dances including; three shades of bine, in which three separate dances were given; Blues in the Night, where the inborn rhythm of the negro finds expression in the zest, and spirit of lilting, moaning, blues; intensity, an interesting and original dance by OSC co-ed Hazel' Travers. Dancer Madlyn Stearns, gave out with a dance ..tabbed, "Patterned after a Woman's Mind;" Director Betty Thompson - soloed well in Transient Moods; "Siiboney," was expertly rendered by the entire company. ..The finale was a nov- ROBLE —AIR STEP-GIRL SCOUT- -BUSTER BROWN -BOY SCOUT SPELLMAN'S BUSTER BROWN SHOE STORE 105 West Holly FRED DUNCAN, Mgr.

The news of today was presented in the future fashion of a world beyond tomorrow television. Betty Wows 'Em Betty Ericson, 19 year old Oregon state sophomore from California, wowed the mixed audience of students, returning teachers and townspeople with her soloed renditions of the Hawaiian Hula and war dances. Miss Helen Poling of Oregon State was accompanist. In a backstage interview four noisy reporters found Miss Thompson and her troupe very pleasant company. (Ed. note—perhaps that explains why the interview took so long-—copy was two days late.) "We t are in love with Bellingham and enjoyed dancing before such~a grand audience," stated the group's smiling leader. Last Tuesday's performance was the opening gun of a two-weeks tour of the Northwest and Canada. After their Canadian invasion of Army and Navy camps, the group will entertain for the Navy and Marine personnel at the Bremerton navy yard. The wind-up of -this* summer's tour will be before the summer session students at Central Washington college at EUerisburg. The summertime occupation of the dancers are the following: Miss Hazel Travers, a student from Vancouver, B. C, will teach Physical Education this summer.

From The Files . . . . . . five years ago in the WWCol- Jegian—June 30, 1939: Hikers set out for Skyline ridge, 6,000 feet up Mt. Baker, under the leadership of Loye McGee. The price of 75c for transportation and coffee was considered by the student body to be too high. The U of W hoopsters downed our Viking quintet by a score- of 31 to 46. . . . ten years ago in the WWCollegian— June 30, 1934: "Mae West" was the guest of honor at the Gay Nineties initiation party at the dormitory. Bustles and rustles were the fashion of the hour. At this time 600 enrolled for the summer session. Out of a class of 120 graduates, 29 received their degrees.

No, but it is something far worse, the closing of the College Inn, which hit a Jot of sudentsvbelow the belt. (Most of them could afford it below the belt.) ' • - ' ' " • • Mrs. L. L. Squire, or Ma, as she was better known, decided the weather too nice, the work too hard, and the help too few to keep going. Now the tnn is closed, and you can bet that WWC will surely miss Mrs. Squire this summer. ' • Ma has been a pal to all the boys to hit this campus in the past ten years. She has served meals to fellows late from long basketball turnouts, or early .in the morning to some who had to go to work. She has made it possible for those at the college to get a snack during any hour of the day. s » . • Only last spring she was routed out of bed at 7:30 one Sunday morning. Her regular opening time was 9:00, but a cruise had been scheduled for that time and the gang wanted to eat breakfast. She opened shop with a smile and made her usual wise cracks. Her jolly bright disposition seemed to infest every drowsy drudge in the Inn. • ' • ' / Not only will Mrs. Squire herself be missed, but the carefree air that characterizes meals at the chow house will be greatly missed. This corner wants to wish Ma a restful vacation and lots of good times back east. However, she had better hurry back, because there is going to be a lot of ravenous men around this institution next iall. There has been a great deal of agitation among the male students to start an intramural softball league. Now with a little cooperation from the women we may be able to, play a little ball this summer. The games probably will have to be played in the afternoon or evening, and the teams will be composed of both students and faculty members. Remember, the more the merrier or messier. • If you should be looking for some top athletic performers on the campus, you could start and finish with the faculty. Sam Carver is one of the finest-badminton players in thi part of the country, and any one wanting a lesson on 'how to be a good loser when playing with a birdie' ought to report to Carver pronto. Don Bushell is rated as a better than fair tennis player, ask yours truly. I still have a hole in my racket fom trying to j-eturn one of his forehand drives. • Doc Cederstrom is quite a trundler, and in last year's bowling league he sure gave the pin boys a work out. Mr. Kibbe wouli give any of the young bucks in school a bad time in a bicycle race. Matter of fact, I'd give you good odds that he could ride almost anybody in school into the .dust.

WWC Studies Error The New York Times magazine article stated that more than half of. the; adult population does not know that the United States never belonged to the League of Nations. Five WWC students were not able to correctly answer this question. Thirty of the 57 of our students did not know what a reciprocal trade treaty is, and 33 did hot know what a price subsidy is. Statistics for the national poll were gathered by the Gallup surveys, which represent a fairly accurate cross-section of the American people. When these surveyors asked-the public to name the United Nations, 57,000,000 failed to men- ' • • -Jr.' tion Canada, 70,000,000 forgot Norway, and 58,000,000 didn't mention Brazil. ';'•'•' :. gt;.; Our ^school's poll showed that three did hot know that China belonged -to the United Nations, that one person did- not name Great Britain, and one neglected to mention the United States. Cummins Tests Miss: Cummins asked her History 1 and 129 classes, when she gave the last test Friday ,N "What event tl takes place in Chicago Monday, June 26?" Of the 16 persons in that class, 10 did not know that the Republican national convention was scheduled to open that date. Hadley Cantril in his New York Times Article said " ...The baffling question is how to get people, sufficiently interested in information to pay attention to it. Educators, editors, public servants and policy makers will have to put their heads together for the comnion good. It is an obligation which, no , one interested j(n democratic government can/safelyneglect." Excursion Scheduled Sgt.

Librarians from British Columbia, Canada, and the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana gathered at the annual affair. With the general theme "Working for Victory, Planning for Peace," the library representatives heard discussions dealing with the present and future problems of all types of-libraries including the county, city, college, instiution, reference, lending and children's libraries. "What will the Postwar Expect Prom the Library," "Librarians Plan for the Future," "Postwar Aims in Library Service," "Publicity for the Reference Department," "Techniques in County Library Work," and "What Does the Small Library Need for its Postwar Service," are samples of the subject titles discussed at the 1944 PNLA conference. Poetry Provided by WWC Alumni Originally written by Mrs. Frances Gladwin as the concluding speech of a panel discussion before a Delta Kappa Gamma group, the WWCollegian staff feels that this poem expresses the sentiments of the Conference being held on the Campus. Mrs. Gladwin taught the ninth grade in the Campus school Winter and spring quarters in 1929, and earned her degree from here in 1932. Previous to entering WWC she attended Cornell University, New York. Mrs. Gladwin is attending WWC for the ,, first series of refresher courses.

Haggard, Frances Simas will replace Mira Booth as supervisor of student teaching of music in the" campus school and will take over Miss Booth's music methods classes for the. coming school year. "Miss Booth tentatively plans to use this time off to work towards her doctorate "at the University of Southern California. Miss Simas has been director of music and art for Northern Montana College at Havre for past ten years. She also supervised music in the Havre public schools for two years just previous to this time. Following two years work at EWC, Miss Simas went on to obtain her Bachelor's degree in education at the University of Washington and her M. A. at the Teacher's college at Columbia University. She also attended the University of California. An interesting sidelight on Miss Simas is the fact that she was at one time music instructor at Bellingham'High School. She is a personal friend of Miss Marguerite V. Hood, who has been in charge of music week here for opening week. Aye, Aye, Ma'am Departing today for Northampton.

The rules of kindness, oto, he must learn: The rule of industry that he.may earn: The rute of thrift that good may not be lost:, Of caution,—that he pay no too high cost For things, self-chosen, he Would wresVfrom life: The mile of courage, strength to Bear the strife. The Golden Rule he needs must keep in view, To do to others as he'd, have them do To him and his. These rules mark out the way, The only one, that all may win who play. For mightier than all force is power of mind That consciously is true, wise, brave, and kind. Our part is to equip,—to offer each The weapons needed,-—place within his reach The means by which to win his-spurs,—to hold In his own hands the Holy Grail of gold. An War, in peace, true freedom is the goal ; Thai evermore musi base on self-control, v Workshoppers Underway v By JESSIE PLAMONDON The 1944 Curriculum Workshop is off to' a good start.

HOSPICE TID-BITS: The climax of this little story or apogee of the whole affair was reached in room 4 -on the second deck of Hospice Inn where a small, but well articulated group of men (or boys) uttered such statements as: "Is that a fact?" "well, heaven forbid!" But these individuals (the male population of Western Washington) throwing caution to the winds, and careening down stairs with reckless and astounding abandon, applied their * Westinghouse brakes and demanded an explanation from the smiling, congenial, and warm hearted housemother, Mrs. George Stearns. To grow philosophic and to skim off the top layer of muddled emotions, we will come to the point. It seems that because of the housing shortage to this area ye Olde Hospice (best house on the Hill) has extended its warm hand of friendship, and has taken under its protective wing four charming members of the fairer sex. Highlight of the week was a strawberry party given by Mr. and Mrs. Stearns immediately after the assembly last Tuesday evening. Besides the regular house members other guests included Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore of Bellingham, Arthur Clarke, medical student at Oregon University and former Western Washington student prexy. Later in the evening the group was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the Oregon State college modern dance group led by Miss Betty Lund. Thompson, director of Women's' Physical Education at Oregon State. The group enjoyed servings of strawberries, and other goodies. After proper introductions, Miss Helen Poling-, modern dance group accompanist, played the latest tunes at the piano, while ev-' eryone sang. Miss Madlyn Stearns, assistant instructor at O.S.C., wanted to kidnap Rex, the house mascot. Betty Erfckson, the hula expert, toured the campus with BARBER SHOP NATIONAL BEAUTY SHOP 1306 Cornwall A v. Ph. 1165 Hal Moe. Jo Hector, Hazel Trav-ers, the Canadian girl, „, and Ann Cooney gave their all, via their vocal chords, to entertain the audience. Two former house members who recently graduated from the Navy V-12 at Dickinson State Teachers college in North Dakota, appeared for short visits. Tommy Baker, of Marietta, and Bob Ludwick, of Everett. Both men are to leave soon for _k new assignments. Baker will attend Northwestern University for a short time and will continue his studies at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. He .will be commissioned in December. Ludwick will continue at Ashbury college in New York, and also will receive the gold braid in December:. RAGAN'S RAMBLINGS Home for an extra-long weekend (it started on Thursday), Eler-ine Shannon spent this short vacation picking strawberries. Doesn't she know all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy? Great news! Sometime within the next 19 months, M: L. Robinson expects Jimmy home. Any time how, Lucy, any time. ," All the Raganites are shades of pale pink nowadays. Problem: The sun's* never out at the time the girls are.
