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. Here's Grim News Although the news arrived a little too early to inspire the father to gurgle his Way to victory in the baby bottle contest at Lakewood, Paul R. (Trim is a papa. Young Douglas Paul, as the tot is tagged, squealed the first signals for . the Grim Brothers football squad that still needs ten men, at St. Luke's hospital, Sunday, May 12, and then went on to Weigh in at eight pounds. Dr. Crim, campus school social science, head, was overjoyed ai the prospect of haying a youngster to educate pro-gressively and Monday was spending many happy hours chortling.

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.

Outside of that I'm losing so many of my best players."^ If the break-up is final, Teddy will continue to record for Columbia, using all-star pick-up combinations as he did before leaving Benny Goodman.

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.

It is a tradition for men who have returned not to speak. As American youth let's not develop the "Now if I were there" attitude. LET'S THINK.

Bouquets for the Best Chairman Jensen's final statements on the matter consisted mainly of orchids directed at his committeemen. "Without such enthusiastic l co-operation, CAMPUS DAY couldn't have been the success it was." He laid special emphasis on the work done by the sports committee, especially Jimmy Parisi. "Parisi's skillful handling of the sports set-up kept things running smoothly," he said. Turn Off the Spotlight Matinee idol of the week is Ed Landon.

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.

If the boys who are expected to win fame and honor for WWC, would save their romantic ad-; ventures at least until after the meets, there would be a lot less gray hairs in Coach Carver's head, arid a lot more points in the Viking summary. So men, just watch your step tonight, because if you're going to win any meets at all this year, it'll have to be tomorrow. '• Roily Burke, Viking miler, although he didn't breast the tape first in the Ellensburg track meet, really showed that he's got his share of intestinal fortitude. . . . 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.

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.

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
