Sept. 24, 1956 didders Downed Saturday Western Scores On80-Yard Push BY JOHN BETROZOFF It was a case of too much beef and experience to buck lastSaturday night when the Western Vikings opened their 1956 campaign against the talent-ladenLewis and. Clark Pioneers at Battersby Field. The Portland club went home with a 31-7 victory. Briefoffensive spurts showed future possibilities for the green Se-home eleven and their multiple offense.The split T and double wing clicked well at times with Bruce. Randall and Bill Karawacki leading theway. The Pioners battered the Viking forward wall all night, combining the running with a superb aerialattack. Western battled back to stop several LC thrusts but the power-packed backfield finally took its toll. Things went bad from the start for the Viks. Western recovered their opening kickoff on the LC 16-yard line, but the Viks were offside on the kickoff. Western then stopped the Pioners dead after thesecond kick only to have the LC punt fumbled on the Viking 18. Lewis and Clark took it over from thenine after four plays. In the second quarter, Western's (Continued on Page 4) Weldon Lamb, freshman,enters the first time. • gt;. ,«; \^ college life and Highland Hall for Plan Student Leader Camp A fullweekend conference is slated for Western student leaders in the middle of October. Conferencechairman Rosemarie Oldow says Black Mountain Lodge Enrollment Tremendous Responsibility TO THE STUDENTS: It is a genuine pleasure today to extend greetings to the hew and returning students. It hasbeen very inspiring since last Thursday observing so many new students, freshmen and transfers,' busy.completing their registrations and orienting themselves to a new educational environment, and so manyreturning students completing their registrations. Three years ago only 1288 students were on thiscampus^ It is predicted that approximately 2000 will enroll this fall. This, if it takes place, is both atremendous responsibility and a significant opportunity for all of us. If our standards are to be upheld,cooperation between faculty and staff and the student hpdy will be required this year as never before.Our tradition of friendly relationships, mutual understanding, and democracy must be maintained. As weemerge frojn, the small college classification, we are anxious that we retain the spirit and atmosphere ofthe small college, which if wre do, our interest in the individual student will be continued. : I , .; - \ \ \.

EntranceTotal Expected to Surpass 2000 New Men's Dorm Opens Doors to Accommodate Some of RecordTotal Western enrollment was expected to spiral to an all-time high this week as returning studentsbegan arriving today on the heels of freshmen and transfers whoN have just finished their Welcome Week indoctrination. A helping hand in one of the biggest problems created by this overflow—housing—wasoffered as the newly-finished MRH addition opened its doors to 100 men. Highland Hall, brand newaddition to MRH, opened its doors for the first time last week, with accommodations for 109 men.Forty-eight rooms in a two-story U-shape building greeted arrivals as they began pouring inWednesday. Features of the rooms were built-in wardrobes and desks, along with" other conveniences of modern residence halls. The base of the U-shape houses a lounge, storage room, an apartment forthe house mother and a central laundry room. SOUTH OF MRH Located in a grove of trees just south of MRH, the new annex features a combination of wood siding and brick. The building was designed byLeonard Bindon, Seattle architect. At a total cost of approximately $325,000, including architect's fees, sales tax, furnishings and miscellaneous expenses, construction began on the addition in early1956, so it would be completed in time for arrival of fall quarter entrants. Other halls were filled, too, assome of the houses near campus began turning away students as early as last week. Approximately120 mechanical arrivals found, however, that they would not have to be turned out on the streets. Roomfor that many cars is now available (exclusive of the black-top area) with the opening this summer ofthe parking area in front of Edens Hall. Population at Western was expected to topple all records ashundreds of new students finished registering and old students began returning to campus for finalregistration, this week. "Most of us are betting it will hit something over 2,000," Donald Ferris,registrar, told the Collegian. Twenty-three per cent more students had pre-registered last Springquarter than the year before, his office has indicated. And in August over six hundred freshmen hadapplications on file, while two hundred transfers were recorded. Fees, forms and frustrations metfreshmen last week as their welcome week procedure began. Assemblies to instruct, assemblies toacquaint and assemblies to inform were only part of the three-day schedule of events that includedplacement tests, automobile tours of Bellingham, counseling, registration, newcomers* dances,aptitude tests and preference records for the all-time high number of frosh and transfers. The final flood-wave of humans was expected today as returning students arrived to complete registration beforeclasses begin tomorrow. They arrived in time for the last stages of the welcome ceremonies whichincluded an all-student assembly at 10 a. m. today and an open house for all students, sponsored byAWS, which begins at 2:30 and extends through 4 this afternoon. Schedule for Returning $tudent$tHundreds of old students arrive today for the completion of their registration before classes begintomorrow.

You are wondering if you have chosen the right place to "spend the mostimportant four years of yptif Ufe. And we, the experienced ancients, the greybeard juniors and seniors(and even the sophomores) are being looked to as fountains of knowledge pertaining to the folklore andlegend surrounding Old Western. Herewith the ancients speak: The first things you will becomeacquainted with are the numerous hoary old jokes which have gained a measure of respectability through sheer old age, and which are re surrected and retold at every as lt; sembly or bull session. Just a fewof these: in your first few days here you will hear Old Main facetiously referred to as Old Mange; you willhear the campus lawns referred to as Dr. Haggard's personal property, with grossly exaggerated remarks as to the punishment he inflicts upon persons violating the verdant purity of bis grassy plains.

Dr. Albert Van Aver, Dr. Sene Carlile, Dr.William Budd and William Dittricn, told the new students for what purpose professors thought students were at Western. Also on hand from the College were ASB President Ken Moffett, Lynda Sam-, nelsonand RosemarJe Oldow to introduce Western's student body activities and represent its studentgovernment.

A bad pass from center gave Lewis and Clark its second TD, taking over from the Vik 20,making it 13-0 at halftime. Western provided the first action to open the second half, an 80-yardtouchdown jaunt, climaxed by a beautiful 46-yard pass and run play from Randall to Karwacki. Theextra point was added by Karwacki making it 13-7, the closest the Vikings could get the rest of thenight. Lewis and Clark then went to work for two touchdowns in the third quarter. One came on anintercepted pass and the other on a Viking fumble on the local's 35. The Portland outfit wrapped upscoring for the night with a final tally in the final period. Bruce Randall and LC's Gene Flippin were takenout of the ball game in the third after a brief game of fisticuffs. The temper tantrum came following a 29-yard pass play that put the ball on Western's two-yard stripe. Flag Football Starts Monday Through the tremendous success of the intramural flag football program last fall, the PE director, Ray Ciszek, hasannounced plans for an even bigger league this fall. First game is tentatively scheduled for next Monday, Oct. 1. Individuals are urged to get teams lined up immediately. Persons lining up the teams can getentry blanks from Jack Hubbard at his office in the PE Building. The directors have not set a maximum on the number of teams. Nine teams were entered in the league last year, according to Ciszek. Heexpects that number to be topped because of the interest shown last fall in the games. Two fields will be used for the flag schedule which will run over a three week period. FLOWERS Ph. 4999 for everyoccasion Bay Champion WANT TO START EATING AGAIN?

He wasnamed head coach after the resignation of Charles Lappenbusch, who served 23 years at the post. Anex-Minnesota center on three championship teams, one a national championship, Kulbitski has coached high school and college teams. His high school squads never finished lower than second.

The field has narrowed to approximately 60 butKulbitski looks for more grid-ders when school opens this week. "We worked on a lot of fundamentalsearlier," stated Kulbitski, "and we used new defensive and offensive formations. These formationsare entirely new to the boys but I have been very satisfied with the progress they are making." The newmentor has been experimenting at the end position where he is a little short in depth. He is alsojuggling the backfield assignments to get the best combination. Injuries? A major item in last year'sinitial turnouts, Kulbitski has been fortunate so far with no major injuries. Sophomore Dick Brozovich, anew man on the Vik squad, suffered a pulled leg muscle last week but will be in action Saturday.Monte Bianchi and Rod Schott were out a couple days with the flu last week.

By JOHN BETROZOFF Here we are with a new year to work with. I want to welcome all the new students to Western Washington and to welcome back all the returning students.We "oldtimers" hope you new students have enjoyed your first few days at Western. You have a jump onthe returning students in seeing the Vik football team already, (whether you were impressed ordepressed is another matter). 1955-56 ROUNDUP NOT TOO BRIGHT Briefly summing up the sportworld of last year: A last Th football, tied for last in basketball, second in baseball, second in track,second in golf, eliminated in conference tennis meet, and most important—a championship inswimming. Not too impressive but that is the record. In defense, it actually wasn't that bad, consideringall the close games and superb performances the Viks put on at times. The only trouble was that there weren't enough times. It was a messed up year. CONTROVERSARY ALL YEAR AT WESTERN This isthe first year the student body has appropriated funds for-athletic scholarships. Sounds funny in • lightof all the coast league-scandals on athletic funds. Nevertheless, the coaches were slowly being"squeezed" out of the picture. They got no support to speak of. Then all heck broke loose last year—theBOC set up athletic funds. Parties", immediately tried to block the funds. They wanted the students tovote-on the funds, thinking it would never carry. Well, it carried unanimously; In fact, it passedtwice—they had to hold the election twice because someone stuffed the ballot box. "It wasn't thesporting thing to do" if I may borrow a quote. FOOTBALL SQUAD LOOKS OK—SEE MORE FIRSTKinda early to praise or predict on our football squad, but r don't think we have to worry about our newcoach. Kulbitski is a really sincere man who has had a lot of experience in coaching. The squad likeshim, Let's wait a week or two before we praise or predict. We can mention a few things, however. Forthose who didn't eyeball the program at the game Saturday (everyone went I hope), here are a few facts.Letterman Ed Melbourne, tackle, tips the heaviest scale at 235. There are: five lightest men at 160:Dwayne Lane, Jim Gard, Bill Karwacki, Ralph Hilt, and Louie McCord. All new faces on the Vik fold.There are 21 freshmen on the squad.

Watched Him OK The opposition's halfback was running wild against the home squad so the coach sent in a young safety man to watch him. The halfback continued to run wild so thecoach jerked the youngster and barked, "I thought I told you to watch that halfback." "I did, coach, andboy can he run." . f.

Our returningalumni will be welcomed at a Coffee Hour and Smorgasbord on Saturday, November 3. They will thrillat the exciting moments . offered on Saturday afternoon as the Western Vikings play host to theEastern Savages in the Homecoming football game. Rain, or shine, the grandstands will be packedwith students, alumni and faculty, all cheering our new team on to victory. Climax of the weekend and awelcome sight to the new weary co-chairmen is a formal dance in honor of the Queen. A well knownband, to be announced later, will provide the music as everyone dances in the beautifully decoratedArmory. It's a pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to WWCE and to wish you well in yourstay at Western. I am certain that within just a short time you will be considering this your second home. In the weeks and months to follow there will be= lt;many activities and social functions for yourenjoyment. Attend as many of these as possible; *—z —- -T_ it will make your stay here much moreenjoyable. You will have opportunity to become members of many different clubs and organizations.In your search for activities that interest you be sure to include' your student government at Western. It is a very fine organization. Although at the present time you (freshmen) can't run for the BOCpositions, you can take an active part by serving on committees and here Vice-President Tells ofStudent Activity Opportunities for Frosh Howdy, fellow college students and welcome to Western. Asyou probably already know ^Vestern prides itself with being the friendliest school on the Coast. Isincerely* hope you have found it that way, thus far. As the year rolls by you will come to realize yourself how fortunate you were in choosing Western, but I thought this would be a good time to point out someof the things which will shape that realiza- : : tion. TOP PROFS Probably the main reason you came to college was a quest for knowledge. The professors at Western are at the top of the list. Many of themhave received national,acclaim as being tops in their fields. College life is more than just keeping upwith your studies. You are here to develop more than just a sound vocabulary. A n intelligent, well -rounded, social being is what college strives to put out. For this purpose we have at Western a wealth of extra-curricular activities. MANY OPPORTUNITIES For those interested in publi- LITTLE MAN ONCAMPUS By Bibler Yes, He Is Indeed... is where much of the actual work is done. If you are interestedin committee work come to the student center and Joel Carlson or myself will .be glad to talk withyou. Avail yourself of the many opportunities here and I'm certain your .stay will be a pleasant one.KEN MOFFETT , President," ASWWCE "And—if you join our 'club' you have the opportunity to enjoy areal unique spirit of friendliness with the sorority next door" cations we have a weekly paper, an annualand many smaller publications w h e r e freshmen are welcome to join the staffs. For those interested inspeaking, freshmen are welcome to join our forensics teams which have won tournamentsthroughout the state and Northwest. As far as athletics goes Western has always been in thereplugging. With a new football coach and basketball coach new last year, it looks like an interestingseason for athletics. In baseball Western always shines. Those who would like to play, contact thecoaches; those who don't can help Western go in sports by backing up the- team to the hilt. For thosewho don't like varsity and cheering, there is a vast intramural program. A raft of clubs, varying fromscientific to athletic, awaits the freshman. The fees you paid at registration are used for and by you. TheBoard of Control, y o u r student representatives, spends this money as the governing body ofstudents. You have a financial interest in student government at Western and are asked to take anactive interest in it. Even freshmen may file and run for the Board of Control. NO HISTORY CLASSStudent government at Western is more than a class for history students. It is the governing body of the students—who, last year, set plans for the financing of a Student Union Building; it is agoverning body which provides for, and supports, varsity athletics, forensics and student publications.Western is a combination of many things. I hope you catch the spirit of this college fast and that youcan develop yourself into the type of citizen, professional person, and parent, you want to be. It's up to you. JOEL CARLSON Vice-president, ASWWCE HE has tramped through sixteen dozen registrationlines, had the traditions, codes and customs of Western blared at him from publications, podiums andperspiring people, who with effusive outpourings of welcome and waves of smiles, have either soaked orsunk him with the idea that he is indeed . . . HE has stood in line until his feet ache^has signed cardsand papers until his fingers falter and has read so much -printed matter that his eyes are ready to close.And now HIS trembling fingers and bloodshot eyes come to rest on this last piece of propagandacalculated to convince him that he is indeed . . . Yes, HE is the weary freshman, who will find thatcollege is no frolic and no funeral. Who will find that he won't be pushed, pampered or pressed intolearning. Who will have more freedom of choice than high school has ever offered and will find itnecessary to depend upon himself and his own resources more than ever before. HE will soon knowWestern-for what it is. That is the green grass, the weathered traditions, the human professors, theinhuman assignments, the unlimited opportunities in student affairs and government, the good times, thebad times, the clubs and organizations that will anticipate him and seek him out to the ends of the*campus. And after he knows that Western is for him he will be even more impressed that he is indeed . .. But HE is tired now. The tests have found things in him that he never knew he had, and taken more from him than he had to. offer. He has met so many people that tomorrow he will walk up to many of themand, embarrassingly, ask them for their names again. He will wander the halls in a daze for a few weeks,but when he recovers he will be able to stand before a Senate investigating committee and rattle off hisname, address, place of birth, parents' names, occupation, and age, like a teletype machine. Buttomorrow he begins to become a part of this^ new thing called college—and the tomorrow after that hewill be an indespensable part of it. Several tomorrows from now HE will find HIMSELF writing inpublications, standing on podium and smiling profusely in a concentrated effort to let an- • \Y/CI("*{"}AA E other new freshman know I l V C L . v * w / r lC that he is indeed c I Tests Mag Be Beneficial,But Moaning, Groaning Still Heard BY CAROL JENSEN Woe betide the poor frosh. He's been oncampus only a few days and already he feels tested to death. The only words of consolation upperclassmen can offer is "You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until finals week." The tests freshmen-havetaken or will take, are strictly for their benefit. The results will help the student and his counselor planhis college career in line with his abilities and interests. CHANGE ATTITUDE There is a major change in college attitude regarding two test results. These are the English and math tests. The College feels that the student should enter school with a certain basic knowledge of these two fields. Those whodon't meet these standards will have three quarters to clear their deficiency. For the first time aregistration fee of $5 will be charged for English 3 and Math. 3, both non-credit courses. This move-isto help remove some of the b u r d e n of expenses of the College for material the student should havegotten in high school. TESTS OMITTED In the interest of streamlining the tests, the Nelson-DennyReading test has been omitted. It was a repeat of much of the material in other tests. The KuderPreference Record demonstrates the major areas of the testee's interests and is helpful in professionalcounseling. Take heart, Frosh. These tests are probably the last you will take in your college careerthat won't require burning the midnight oil.

WITHDAVE AMOS We'll begin this weekly scanning of Western's green campus scene with: Highland Hall,where rooms are smaller than MRH, but the m/ gt;st is made of available space. Interesting point is thatthe building is broken into groups of twelve students . . . each group more or less separated from theother.

HEARD—an upper classman, eyeing the gentlersex of the freshman class—"It looks like a great year." The band, under the cool eye of Mr. Glasssounds in great shape. Observing them during practice the other day, they had real snap and quality.NOTE OP INTEREST: the gym has a new floor—that's why the dance last Saturday night was a sock-hop. Quite impressed with'the size of the football players this year; those guys are big enough to makean impression on a brick wall. Dr. Walter has the College dance band working hard for the mixer nextFriday night. They made their initial appearance at Saturday morning's assembly, playing three numbers . . . sound like a moving group. Buzz Lawrence of "Viking Turntable" (KPUG—Sat. 9:30-11:30 p. m.) tells us he now has a two hour show. Says he will play anything anybody wants—"Bach, Beethoven . . . even (with arched eyebrow) Elvis." Board of Control will have two vacancies this quarter with the absence ofPaul Greenwalt and Bob Dunlap. Bob Teshera informs us that Lakewood now has a new boat, newfirepalce and enlarged parking area. Editor informs us space has run out for one week.

Led by highsteppers Virgil Cleve-jand and Gary Lind, the bandstepped into an eight-minute parage routine, during the halftime at the Western-Whitworth game, thatcast the stars of the TV program, Dragnet, in an effort to track down the killer of Cock Robin.

Practices began Monday evening, and continued through the week under the direction of Jerome Glass, with theband unveiling its new look at the Thursday evening new student assembly in the Auditorium Butdirectors Dr. Don Walter anc Mr. Glass claim there's much more to be unveiled of the band's entire newlook, claiming they believe new plan for the band will solve many of their present problems. This planincludes a clinic band a pep band and a concert banc which will take care of people witl much time,some time and little time. The bands are planned sc that people with different preferences and different amounts of time to contribute can all take part ir the expanded program. o Home c o m i n g Co-chairmen, Sharon Andreasen and Don Six, hope that everyone joins in the nostalgic sentimentalism, the friendly joking, and the just p l a i n "hamming" that our Homecoming seems to b r i ng forth every year.
