This letter arrived too late for publication last quarter. Through my usual inefficiency and my own misunderstanding, the title of Ralph Thompson's article on Evan Hill's Saturday Evening Post story was put down in the Collegiandifferently than he had wanted it. This caused the story to be misinterpreted, putting Thompson inan uncomfortable position. I would like to apologize to Thompson and hope that this note and the letterwill clear up most of the misunderstandings which resulted — The Editor. Dear Editor, Advertently orinadvertently the word "fantasy" was deleted from the title of my article. If the title had been given in full,"Fantasy: How effective was Evan Hill's Paper?" — I wouldn't be spending part of my time this weeksaying that I never saw Evan Hill, that I never had him in class, and that he never wrote a paper for me.— RALPH THOMPSON On cheating . . . Dear Editor: There are those who have openly criticized myarticle on cheating as being hypocritical. To explain my own place in the scale of dishonesty is a matterof subjective grading; however, I feel that if a class is run so slackly that a large minority or a majority ofits student are cheating, or rather, using nefarious means, to raise their grade —and I feel that if I am to stay on the upper half of that almighty curve I will have to indulge in some intellectual hanky panky; Ihave no qualms whatsoever, never have and never will. Idealistically one should stand back and abovesuch doings— and claim happiness in your "D" or "F" through its original purity. Unfortunately purity isnot an index used in compiling a grade point. Sincerely, Pete Napper THE ' H FIFTH • CORNER ^ by Judy Borman The average salary for classroom teachers in the U.S. this past year was $5527,ranging from an average of $3560 in Mississippi to an average of $7300 in Alaska. The money spent onpublic education from kindergarten through twelfth grade in the U.S. exceeded $18 billion, with theaverage expenditure per child being $414. New York schools spend $615 per school child, whileMississippi spent only $220. These are interesting figures though, as all statistics, they are subject to interpretation. It would be interesting if some valid figures were available concerning the comparativeperformance level of students in the individual states. Do the states which spend the most money oneducation produce better students? Or perhaps just fancier plants? Dog for sale: Male, black and whitemongrel-Labrador, seven months old. Name: Schooner (as in boat, not beer) owner can't aiford dog food,though the animal has been fed primarily on bacon grease, burnt toast, potatoes and water and hasacquired low living standards. Dog is a freedom fighter; he chews ropes and breaks down doors and, iflocked out on the balcony, will jump off. Dog is voluble; he converses with everyone he meets andeven talks aloud to him-seli. (5 a.m. and 12 midnight are his favorite talking hours.) Dog is, above all,affectionate. He jumps on people, follows them and insists on accompanying them to class, to thelibrary and through such ordeals as registration. Dog is also intelligent; he knows that to get releasedfrom a room he has to scratch on the door; to run nylons he has to bite them; to mutilate a picture hehas to first take it off the wall. On second thought, Dog Free. There once was a professor of a particulardepartment who was notorious for refusing to revise his tests even though it was common knowledge that copies of these same tests were available for the asking. A certain student, an English majorwho had maintained a 3.5 grade average through 35 hours oi English, earned a "D" on the first test."Something's wrong," said the student, and with a moment's thought came to the conclusion that hergrade had suffered in comparison to students who had studied the specific test given. When the nexttest came around, this student, who happened to have been scrupulously honest in the past, wasoffered a copy of the test to be given and gave it a quick perusal an hour before the exam. This time shegot a "C". She approached the teacher and told him she had seen an exact copy of the test he hadgiven and in the somewhat heated conversation which followed he said that (1) he changed his testsoften (in actuality he alters the order or adds one or two new items) (2.) That if it was actually true that his tests were available, why had he never seen a copy? (why indeed?) and (3.) That students whohad copies of the tests should be reported and reprimanded (A much more practical solution, it seems,would be to change the tests.) The student and the teacher reached somewhat of an impasse whenthe student stated that she did not wish to divulge the name of the student from whom she had obtainedthe test, because this student was one of many who had copies of the same Page 2 WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN January 12, 1962 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1962 January 12 - Page 3 ---------- test. The story concludes alter the student came to class on the day of the final, prepared to answer anessay or otherwise revised test (surely, she reasoned, now that someone has actually reported usinga test, he will change it) but the test given her was one again an almost exact copy of an available test.The student had also studied this test and knew all but two or three answers. "He's calling the shots;I'll play," she thought and though she obviously performed brilliantly on the exam, her grade for thecourse was a "D", a glaring "D" among her other grades: three "A's"' and a "B". Unusual? Especially sosince this particular professor refuses to let his students see their final exams. If an objective gradehad been given, could a "D" and a "C" on minor tests with what would have to have been at least a "B"on the final, average out to a "D"? When two complaints as major and as valid as non objectivegrading and refusal to alter tests which are available to students are made against a person in theposition of a college professor some changes are warranted. ROADIFER Hark! Attention, etc!!! Whilegimbling about on campus Collegian staffers are often attacked. Now this may be due to thesubversive activities which many of them engage in at various and sundry times, or it may be due to their palsy-like appearance (which comes from many hours of festering and moulding cloistered up in thearchives in the VU basement pondering about odd assorted national, international and campusproblems). But many times the attack has a basic drive behind it. Sinking to ther knees, with a look offrustrated pleading, many a student at sanity's end has thrown himself in front of a casual Collegianstaffer gasping these words in a search for basic truth: "Prithee, can you tell me — WHAT IS AROADIFER??" Take heart world! Courage students of Western! You won't iind out — this week —heh heh . . . But next week has been declared as official "Unveil the Roadifer week." And remember . . . "Roadifer is as Roadifer does . . ." CAMPUS CALENDAR January 12-16: Friday.

Members of the faculty at Western arecontacting 120 business firms in Bellingham and Seattle for the purpose of raising funds forscholarships. A l u m n i have also been alerted to the great need for finances, and they havecontributed $1,350. An estimated $20,000 in additional funds will be needed in the next two years.The college is now planning ways to obtain this money. In the year 1961-1962 the college received 280applications for scholarships. Of this group, 51 were awarded scholarships. Another 100 werequalified, but did not receive the needed help. PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES Watch for the Rate theTeams Contest coming up. January 12, 1962 Little known helpers One of the most progressive but little known student aid services is the Phychological Counseling Service. This department offersassistance to those students whom have academic problems, questions about vocational planning orpersonal problems. Concerns in these areas may result in a vague restlessness WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN which interfere with the student's maximum adjustment to the college. Awell trained staff, consisting of Dr. Frank Nugent, Dr. Evelyn Mason, and Dr. William Hall, is available totalk over these problems with students. In addition, at times psychological testing may be used as ahelpful supplement to the interview particularly when the student is concerned about his abilities orvocational choice. Students may take advantage of the counseling service on their own initiative ormay be referred by their academic advisor or a member of the faculty. Appointments may be made withthe department secretary in the south end of the third floor of Old Main.

Thus went the television and radio bulletins from Sacramento,California, to inform the Northwest that the person the alumni call "Mr. Western" had finally receivedtribute for the work and the contributions he had given to athletics in 30 years as a coach andadministrator. "Mr. Western" came here in 1933 after serving his apprenticeship under Jim Phelan atWashington and then with a year at Albany, Oregon. When he made the big move to Western most ofus weren't even an idea. But Charles Lappenbusch had a few and it was here that he proceeded to pull out of the bag of tricks a philosophy he had worked out in Graduate School. It was called the StraightLine Philosophy. Where would you go if you had an idea that you wanted to try out on people that youfelt would promise some success in their future? Where else but a good progressive teachers college.Athletics from 1933 on took on a dilferent viewpoint under Lappenbusch, and even if you didn't like theidea, it won ballgames for you, on one condition, you had to understand it. At least that is what someof the Alumni jokingly report. "Lappy" as most of the campus knows him, started actively working hisphilosophy in 1937 and came up with some real championship clubs. Proof of the statement lies in thetrophies that adorn his office. Proof sometimes lies in the statement that if you "make it past the glitter of the gold in the office from the trophies you probably have an interesting chat for a few days." Hisphilosophy took on a winning complex for a great number of years until John Kulbitski took over withhis teams about mid-century. Then he produced his textbooks that he had been able to work out in hisspare time proving straight line football defense, offense and basketball defense. Basketball offense,he said, was Page 6 too random. One of his books was made a requirement for Graduate Schoolpeople. The Alumni and present students say that if you can win with it then you understand it. Then in1951 he was asked to speak at a Coaches Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. "When I first lectured to theconvention of Coaches they thought I was a deep humor man from Hollywood in 1951, but sincethen I made the trip back four times in eight years. I am entertaining the idea of accepting anotherinvitation. Charles Lappenbusch, Father of Straight Line Philosophy (Ordinarily a speaker is onlyallowed to speak once every five years.) Then they said the players had to be PhD's to playaccording to my philosophy, and finally we can say that people are afraid to admit that they do notknow." Thus spake Charles Lappenbusch about his feelings about the Straight Line Philosophy and itsintroduction to coaching circles in the Eastern United States, a man in high demand in that area. Nowafter 30 years, coaching-circles show their appreciation for a man who laid a simple background forsomething all of us know but cannot put our hands on. Simply it's called the Straight Line Philosophy.According to "Mr. Western" its basic tenet is "to eliminate all natural and deliberate confusion so that we can get a functional purpose going." Together, under the scope WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN of philosophy which encompasses all the needs of human beings competing against each otheraggresively in a straight line area and reduce all this natural and deliberate confusion so that we cancome out with a functional process which has the Nth degree of strength to win. The Contributor Awardwas given as recognition but more important it was given because this award aids as an impetus for thephilosophy to grow. Therein lies the real value of giving this reward. The philosophy stands for somethingfar outside just the world of athletics. But lor the moment we shall stay concerned with this field. CarlSnavely of Chapel Hill and members of his staff wanted to have his book published to use as a regulartextbook, but the publishers said the philosophy was too modern and too advanced. How he feels that itis everybody's philosophy if they want, is pointed out in this story of a few years ago. An Easternnews reporter sent him a wire asking him to say whether Frank Leahy, Notre Dame Football Coach,was stealing his idea. He sent back the reply, "if this Straight Line Philosophy didn't fit Frank Leahy aswell as it fit me then it would not be a philosophy." The Eastern reporter said that his answer wouldn'tsell many newspapers because the people wouldn't understand what he meant. This is CharlesLappenbusch and this is his feeling on something as a Philosophy and not an idea because an idea is no good unless connected. How this philosophy fits our society is cited in the example of our conflictwth Russia. "The use of anticipatory education to prevent a necessary destruction, a nice confusion, a necessary fool play and which will allow the people in this delimited society to see and understandwhat is of utmost importance. The straight line philosophy gives the participant the bases for operatingwith straight line enclosures delimited manner so he can live." His whole study came about when hefigured out in his work as an assistant coach there were so many plays that the players had to learn that it not only tended to mislead them but also the coaches. So looking closer and studying advancededucational philosophy under Dean Uhl at the University of Washington he found that even if one coachcould throw up a defense for every offense, what use would this be if the players were confused. Fromthis study he also developed the idea January 12, 1962 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1962 January 12 - Page 7 ---------- of a concept of flexible and progressive readjustment. Adjustment not by a main signal caller but by all players. The adjustment should be automatic because thinking and doing must work together,simultaneously. Finally Lappenbusch feels that the individual is not as important as the philosophybecause if it wasn't for society the individual wouldn't be where he was. The important thing then isthat the philosophy will grow and live beyond the human being, to get the job done with the leastamount of confusion and to eliminate this natural confusion. When you watch him talk about the fieldof Straight Line Philosophy and the past, you often wonder if people really listen. Why his contributionis now recognized is because a great deal of people are finally beginning to understand and see that itworks, worked and will work. Maybe those years giving the lectures bei'ore the National Football Clinic were not in vain. Well, by now you're wondering why he isn't a Doctor in his field, and the answer isfairly simple. Who can question him on his field since he is the originator of it. He is and rightly so, aFounder and Contributor worthy of any Hall of Fame. And you know there is a moral to this story here for those who make mockery and don't understand . . . maybe if we did, then maybe more ideas wouldwork.

TWO VOICES Dissect the HUAC by Bill Burke As a fitting sequence to our last article, weare dealing this week with the UnAmerican Activities Committee of the House of Representatives (or the HUAC). This committee is unusual among investigating committees in that it has been in operationfor over 23 years, whereas most committees of this nature are established to deal with a specificproblem for legislation and are dissolved once their investigations are finished. But the HUAC lives on— dashing about the country, issuing subpoenas, holding hearings, and asking that infamous Question, "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" Said The Nation, "Today it ineffect is a fourth branch of government, exercising a miscellany of powers: legislative, in that it setspermiss-able standards of political behavior; investigative, in that it probes for violation of thesestandards; judicial, in that it passes judgment on the guilty and 'clears' the innocent." The Committeeis receiving of late a greater amount of attention than it has enjoyed before during its long (and ratherignoble) history. This is undoubtedly due, partly to the publicity (and no small part of it unfavorable) overthe San Francisco riots of May, 1960, its movie "Operation Abolition," and possibly even more so from the rise of the many radically "anti-communist" groups. The critics of the HUAC have well expressedreasons to doubt, nay, to condemn, the actions of the Committee. So I take the liberty (and space) toquote some of them. Justice Hugo Black of the Supreme Court, after a split decision over theconstitutionality of a contempt of Congress charge at a HUAC hearing in 1958 (the HUAC won out),voiced this sharp dissent, "The result of all this is that from now on anyone who takes a public position contrary to that being urged by the HUAC should realize he runs the danger of being subpoenaed . . ."If the present trend continues ... Government by consent will disappear to be replaced by government by intimidation because some people are afraid that this country cannot survive unless Congress hasthe power to set aside the freedom of the First Amendment at will." Rep. Thomas Ashley of Ohio, in aspeech concerning the apportionment of funds to the HUAC early last year: "All of us are keenlyaware that the forces of communism are unswervingly dedicated to the destruction of this and other freenations . . . But surely we are aware, too, that communism is not the only threat to our liberty. Theindividual freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights can be lost or diluted through our own action orinaction, and if this is allowed to happen by our own hand, the loss of liberty is no less than if imposedby an alien adversary." After 23 years of activity without producing any deterrent to the communistmovement, the HUAC is more powerful than ever, its tactics more frightening — it has a name to tag on everyone on the wrong sid2 of middle, from dupe to fellow traveler to agent; its funds are guaranteed because members fear for their reputations and positions if they voice dissent; it can stay active as long as "friendly witnesses" give a few names now and then to help the investigations along. I find thesituation alarmingly paradoxical — it seems that the HUAC is working toward limiting individual freedom in this country with the aim of inactivating those forces which are trying to do the same thing the worldover. And, to compound the paradox, our funds and energies serve to endanger personal freedom herewhile we ignore communist nibbllings at freedom elsewhere. The Other Side by Mark Nelson Does theHouse Un-American Activities Committee have a right to exist? This Committee h:\s fallen under thecondemnation of many misinformed persons in the past years, but before these people continue tocensure this group they should know the facts. The condemnation of this Committee centers aroundthree main :points, that it is Un-Constitutional, Illegal, and Un- American. The Supreme Court of theUnited States interprets the Constitution: "That Congress has wide power to legislate in the field ofCommunist activity in this country, and to conduct appropriate investigations in aid thereof, is hardlydebatable. The existence of such power has January 12, 1962 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIANPage 7 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1962 January 12 - Page 8 ---------- never been questioned by this Court, and it is sufficient to say, without particularization, that Congress has enacted or considered in this field a wide range of legislative measures, not a few of which havestemmed from recommendations of the very Committee whose actions have been drawn in question here." (Barenblatt v. United States, Majority opinion (5-4) Mr. Justice Harlan June 8c 1959, p. 17.) Tostate, therefore, that this committee is Un-Constitutional is a complete falsehood. The Committee isnot illegal because there is no lav/ against it. The Supreme Court has never contended in any casethat it encroaches upon any individual right under the Constitution, and the" Committee's legality issustained by the Barenblatt decision. To say something is illegal when there is no decision against itis to be absurd. £^ The critics of the HUAC say that the Committee is Un-American because itsupposedly runs counter to the democratic tradition. But is it Un-American to protect oneself and one'schildren from something that is an intrinsic and insidious evil? The Committee does not run counter tothe democratic tradition, but in fact is a safeguard against subversive interests under the constitutionalpower of the Congress to investigate and to enact law in the maintenance of "the common defenseand general weltare." The House of Representatives reaffirmed their coniidence in, and their approvalof, the House Committee on March 1, 1961, by voting 412 for and only 6 against the Committeecontinuing its investigations. If those who oppose the HUAC by crying "Un-American" are serious, this means that 412 of our Representatives voted for something that is Un-American Obviously the fact thatalmost ALL the Representatives voted in favor of the Committee shows that it has the support of theAmerican people. There are those "liberals" who contend that honest and decent American citizens arebeing "persecuted" by the HUAC; "good" citizens like Alger Hiss and Archie Brown. However, thefact is that the Committee does nothing more than investigate to secure accurate information andpresent it to Congress. If there is any "persecution" it is done by the Press or by the Public. There isnot an ounce of evidence that the Committee has ever "tried" anybody; on the contrary, informationobtained by this Committee aids Congress in passing legislation which safeguards the AmericanPeople from subversion. Those "citizens" who state that this Committee is Un-Constitutional, Un-American, and Illegal are either grossly misinformed or intentionally misconstruing the facts to furthertheir own misguided objectives. DEFENSE LOANS Amount depnds on need A total of $91,985.00has been utilized for National Defense loans during the 1961-1962 academic year. This total wasdivided among 174 individual loans. Freshmen accounted for 48 loans, sophomores 34, juniors 49,seniors 37, and graduate students 6. The average loan was $489, but the amount depends on theactual need of the student.

Ball games aren't won on "ifs", but on results. Theresults of the death march in the fall finds Western with some thinking ball players. Guards offeringstrength are Mike Kirk and Dave Edwards. Keith Kingsbury, tiny, but with desire that will never end,looks like he will see a good deal of action also. The big tall workhorses this year look like Riseland,Clayton, Gilda and always Jim Adams. The only fresh- Clayton reaches man ballplayer who looks like he is going to stick for this year is Dave Husby from Tacoma. Scoring honors seem to be pretty welldistributed this season for Western between Kirk, Clayton, Adams and Riseland. Interesting to note is the fact that Jim Rile only played less than a half against St. Martins and scored 13 points. Next weekthe Vikings move into Seattle Pacific on Tuesday night. SPC, of course, beat Western earlier this year,along with everything else they've faced this year. Western should beat SPC since the last time theyplayed, SPC was unconscious in their shooting percentage and Western was unbelievably cold.

Riseland also gave the Vikings their margin of difference in theovertime along with foul shots by Kirk and Clayton. High game honors went to Mike Kirk with 23 points.Western shot 40% to Eastern's 35% from the floor. Eastern out-shot Western from the foul line.COULDN'T HOLD PIRATES Western looked too good to be true at halftime, leading 41-29. They met adifferent ball team in the second half and went down to defeat, 69-63. Whitworth wasn't expected to do much since they lost 8 of 9 games in pre-season. However, led by their big center, Gary McGlocklin, the Pirates went out of their minds. The Viking attack was led by Terry Clayton with 20 points, Adamswith 15 and Kirk with 13. Western was leading, 63-60 with four minutes, but couldn't keep the Piratesdown. RUGBY Wins moral victory Western opened its rugby season Saturday; and with a third of theteam being introduced to the sport for the first time under actual game conditions, the 3-0 deficit to theVancouver Barbarians is a moral victory of sorts. Leading the team were Craig McGowan, a dainty and agile 215 pounds with a very positive and impressionable attitude towards tackling; and Gary Fumanowhose desire, and built in PA system are not to be denied. The return of two veterans for the game next week feature Ray Devier at scrum half and Ron Burton in the scrum will add a great deal of experience at these positions and will allow the team to deploy it's strength to greater advantage. With a couple ofgames and a couple of weeks of practice (to augment the three days they had prior to this game)Western will dei'inately show Western supporters winning rugby. Next Saturday Western will again playhost at Shuksan Junior High, game time 2:30, a little support will go a long way.

Coming up, of course, isbasketball and the conference race. To say the least, it's going to be a dilly. As most of you know, theVikings went into overtime in both of their games last weekend in Eastern Washington against Whitworthand Eastern, winning the latter with the big scoring assault by Terry Clayton in overtime. Speaking ofClayton, Big Terry is running wild, and the fella has turned into the most improved player in league. Downat the Christmas Tournament in Chico he was voted unanimously to the first team. Rugby also openedthe season in first division, but met defeat, 3-0, on a penalty kick. The team, of course, is young inexperience but high on spirit so another good practice game against league opponents next week inVancouver and the Vikings will pit agility and brawn against UBC's Thunderbirds who are West Coastchampions and world champs in this sport. Rugby mentor Al Mathieson also has a couple of games withthe U. of Oregon lined up to go along with the league games. Wrestling, hard hit by grades, finds coachTomaras mending his squad for his upcoming meet with Central. Western should be well blessed withnext spring's high school graduates as the West Coast's leading authority's prestige is well known in highschool circles. First years and recruiting programs now firmly underway leaves nothing but promise ahead for Western. Coach Tomaras has started a wrestling program in Bellingham for youth and the programhas really caught fire. The intramural program at Western time and time again is praised for its variety ofopportunities to "work out" and get the needed exercise. The big free night used to be on a weekday inthe evening. It was changed this fall and the results have been amazing. Now on Saturdays from 1 to 4you can swim, play basketball, badminton, volleyball and the works. During the week the intramuralleague is in full swing, as usual. But the recreation day on the weekend certainly is a lot better as it givesa lot of people a chance that normally would have to pass up the night workout. It's a lot better alsobecause there are no excuses for not getting in the necessary exercise. I think most of us have readabout Americans being physically unfit that we are this way because of too much talking about it and not enough doing. You paid for it so take advantage of it. I saw a sign that is out and so I think some of youshould know about it. Naturally, it's the always riotous Loudhouse Contest. In Loudhouse you do exactlythat, except at the games. Besides yelling the loudest and with the funniest yell, you also dress incostumes and the works. I remember one Loudhouse Contest where a group was leading in theballoting or whatever judging criteria used and the house wasn't even signed up.. Be original andworkout at the oames. The Loudhouse trophy is usually presented at the last game of the year. TIMEOUT Skiers are hitting the slopes with their usual determination this winter and reports from studentson Mt. Baker say things are in their usual mess . . . A brochure from White Pass, near Mt Rainier, tellsus that they now have regular electricity instead of the old power plant that caused so much grief and that it deserves a look into . . . Don't forget the big style show put on by the ski club at Western, always amust to getting the latest clothing dope, etc. . . . Western's Campus is dotted with a few personalities inthe professional athletic picture: Jim Carphin and Sonny Homer from Vancouver's Lions, Roger Repoz frmthe New York Yankees' farm club in Modesto, California, Gordy Martin and Don Henderson fromHamilton, Ontario's entry in Canadian Football, just to name a few . . .

January 12, 1962 WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1962 January 12 - Page 12 ---------- DABBLING In Art and Music By Bill Burke Remaining all but forgotten in the rush before Christmas, the Everett Junior College exhibit drew a flourish of interest last week — most of it an attempt to interpretthat typically (must I?) contemporary flavor, and the bold colors and forms. Some of them, I felt,displayed more boldness than imagination. Today those paintings come down. And in their place go 41select paintings by high school artists from across the country. They are the Honor Prize winners from the 1957 Hallmark Scholastic Art Award competition. One million junior and senior high schoolstudents enter this annual competition that has been termed "the largest art competition in the world."The prizes are quite impressive — 20,000 dollars in cash and 75,000 in tuition scholarships. HallmarkCards buys the top parnt-ings as its Honor Prizes, and then sponsors their showing (or slides and iprints of them) in schools all over the United States (a good bit of tax-free advertising with noble intentions).This week the art instructors are getting their aesthetic revenge. Before Christmas they were on the rack with a faculty display in the Studio Gallery. So for the rest of the month, the students are displayingbefore the public eye their works in sculpture, pottery, silk-screen, lettering, and of course painting. Aseries of exhibits that deserves more attention from those of us up here on Cloister Hill is the monthlyseries sponsored by the Bellingham Art League. (Although I'm never sure whether it's a league or a guild. I guess it doesn't matter. Maybe it's a confederation.) This month, a one man show by local artistMarvin Thompson is on display. A consistent award winner since '58, Thompson has such honora as the Top Twenty award at the Frye in Seattle tor 1958 and '81, and the Ivar Hagelund purchase prize in '61.Thompson is mostly self taught, works as a painting contractor here in Bellingham. His work has theclarity and detail of a photograph — indeed, one of his works is a painting of a photograph which from a slight distance looks like the photo was pasted in. It's the kind of work to be hung on mantles, butthey all seem rather impersonal and lacking in intensity. However, he's a skilled craftsman and worthseeing. The only item from the Music Dept. this week is a recital this Sunday evening in the VikingUnion. Dr. Paul Stoner, a new member to the music staff this year, will present his first recital with the assistance of Dale Reubart . . . Also watch for the coming Band Pop Concert . . .
