The collection, considered to be the largest and most varied of its kind ever assembled, wasmade avails able through the efforts of J. Mogensen, Danish Vice Consul in San Francisco, Arthur Trace To Lecture Here Dr. Arthur S. Trace, author of "What Ivan Knows That Johnny Doesn't", will give acomplimentary lecture at Western Washington State College Monday based on the content of hisbook. Arthur Trace Trace's book, published last year, compares text materials in reading, literature,foreign lan-jguages, history and geography Jin the Soviet Union and the s United States. His lecture isset for 8:15 p. m. in the college auditorium. He will follow it up at 9:30 a. m. Tuesday by appearing on apanel to discuss reading content and comprehension in the two nations. in who had the works flownin from Denmark and asr sembled them in the collection. The exhibit is titled "Danish Daily Life InGraphics." and includes works in advertising posters and poster stamps (miniature posters used asletterheads and letter seals), advertising mobiles, displays, greeting cards, and wrapping paper. Thereare also posters made of reproductions of works by artists such as Klee, Chagall, Michaux andothers. In a letter Mogensen said that since the showing, about ten years ago, of 130 Danish,posters inseveral large American cities, "graphic art has stepped modestly aside, and repeated successfulexhibits in the U. S. of Danish furniture, silver and textiles may have left the art-interested Americanpublic with the false impression that our graphic design and industry is on a lower level than our otherarts and crafts, or even worse: not worth showing." "The Danish Lithographers Guild and the DanishConsulate General in San Francisco are deeply grateful to the Graphic Arts Department at Western forhaving given them the opportunity to dispel that misapprehension at least in a certain measure,"Mogensen said. The 200 works are designed to give the viewer an idea of the artistic quality, humor and vitality of graphic art in Denmark today. On discovering that the collection was being assembled,the San Francisco Museum asked that they be allowed to put it on permanent display. The exhibitwill be here throughout the summer session. Financial Aids Along with the many new departmentsand new official functions being established for the next year, one has been set up that should providethe student with a well-organized and efficient, method, p£ getting money;. William Hatch, agraduate fro,m Western with many years of counseling and advising behind him, has been . installedas the: new.Finjmqiai; Aids Officer. Hatch graduated. from Western .in 1943, ^[ith; a, major, inppuhseiing.:and.guidance. 'He received his M.A. ,from;,GJar«mont College in,-; California;. Afterteaching for sevei^u. , :yearsr in jjijaipr and ^senior l\igh schools in California, he moved to Everett,Wash. Prior -to coming to Western, Hatch was head of counseling at Mountlake Terrace High Schoolnorth of Seattle. The complex system of loaning money will be moved behind WWSC To HostGraphic Arts Educators Noted authorities in the field of Graphic Arts, educators, printers, editors—allwill come together Sunday to begin the week-long conference of the International Graphic Arts EducationAssociation. Over 300 members of the lt; IGAEA are expected to attend, making this the largestconference in its 37-year history. Representatives from 28 states; two territories, four countries, and27 colleges and universities will be attending the conference, held for only the second time on the WestCoast. Santa Barbara hosted the graphic artists five years ago. There are several reasons, accordingto Dr. Ray Schwalm, head of Western's Graphic Arts Department and chairman of the conference, whyWestern was successful in drawing the largest conference attendance yet recorded. The main reason, Schwalm feels, is the number of noted speakers to appear on the program. Major speakers on theprogram include Faber Birren, color consultant; David White-fprd, .vice president of. Wniteford PaperCompany of New York; Stephen Baker, creative designer; : and Richard Coyne, art director andeditor. , Birren, who has published 16 books on color and who is considered to be the world'sauthority on color, will present one of the major lectures of the conference at 8:15 p. m. Tuesday inthe auditorium as part of the summer Concert-Lecture series. Birren studied at the Univers i ty ofChicago "and the Chicago Art Institute. He has been a professional color consultant since 1934-. Histalk Tuesday is titled, "The Relation of Color to Form and Function." The major speakers will appearin seminars and discussions throughout the week. In Wrestling this door, just a few steps away fromthe main entrance of Old M.

You possiblydon't recall that on July 27. 1958. the thermometer hit a record 102 degrees, the hottest, everrecorded by William S. Perry, official U*. S. Weather Observer. During a three-day stretch lastyear, July 11. 12 and 13. the mercury hovered at 95, 99 and 93 degrees. With Monday of this weeklisted as the warmest day of the year so far, the temperature hit 87. Sunday was second warmestwith 85 degrees recorded, and Tuesday was a comfortable 84. Summer isn't over, we hope. There havebeen no 90 degree temperatures yet to give Perry's thermometer a workout. Swedish Film, 'Brink OfLife/ Last In Series Sweden provides the setting for the dramatic film, "Brink of Life," the last of thesummer Foreign Film series, at 7:30 p. m. Sunday in this auditorium. The film, directed by IngmarBergman, portrays the story of three women awaiting the births of their children in a hospital maternityward One, an intellectual looking forward to her child to save her crumbling marriage, loses it ih amiscarriage. Another, an unmarried adolescent, has already tried an unsuccessful aborcion. Thethird, presented as the essence of maternal womanhood, loses her child in protracted labor — ascene that won actress Eva Dahl-beck the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The second feature on the program will present three films starring Charlie Chaplin. All four of the majorspeakers, along with members of Western's faculty, will appear in a symposium at 7:00 p. m.Wednesday in the Auditorium-Music Building to discuss the "Impact of Color and MotivationalResearch on Graphic Arts Products and the Consumer." Included as speakers in the symposium areDr. Graham Collier and Dr. Herbert Taylor of Western's faculty. Dr. Ralph Thompson is the symposium leader. Other events on the program include the, Thursday night banquet and dance. President Jar-rett will be the. main speaker at the banquet. By NIGEL ADAMS Although Wrestling Work shop's areold hat to one of the nation's greatest wrestling coaches, the session starting Monday is another first forDr. Bill Tomaras. Tomaras is known for the initiating of the wrestling- program at WSU and for the final development phase of the program at USC Since joining the faculty at Western last fall and enteringthe school's first team into competition, Western's physical education importance has been, on theupswing. Tomaras held a brief session for high school coaches last winter when about 30 men from the state ranks showed up for some pointers. This session for a week starts on Monday at S a_ra. andruns till 4:30 p.m. The important thing about the course is its practicality.

Dr. Snedeker willleave at the end of the nine-week session to take up the duties as president of New Mexico WesternCollege in Silver City, New Mexico. "The past year has been a vigorous and challenging one," Dr.Snedeker said. "I have enjoyed the intellectual atmosphere of Western and have particularly enjoyedworking with President Jarrett whom I consider one of the great educators of our time." In regards to thefuture of Western and some of the things he foresees in it, Dr. Snedeker said that we are "definitely onthe growing edge of a new era." "Western has a sufficiently diverse . faculty representing varyingphilosophies to continue to be a source for bold new practices," he said. He said that he has alwaysconsidered Western as one of the best teacher education colleges in the country. "I sense here atWestern a dedication to teacher education that! is well above the average," he said. Turning to anotheraspect of Western's growth, Dr. Snedeker said that the development of the arts and science curriculumshould be "high priority items in Western's expansion." He added that he hopes the social sciences willnot be neglected because of increasing work in the lab sciences. j "The fact that when the ex- 1Continued on page 3) Seafair Tops World's Fair Fun BOB'S DRIVE-IN IS HAVING ANOTHERSEATTLE'S THIRTEENTH SEAFAIR FESTIVAL will be staged this year against a backdrop of aspectacular Space Age World's Fair.

Drop By, Delegates, And Pick Up Tidbi|s##SNACKS t • ICE CftEAM X » CANfDY n • FRUif VAN High Street Grocery "Just Off Campus"Sneak Preview- 'Sell It To Me In Denmark' By BILL BURKE Due primarily -to my " vague Collegian-likefeatures, I was allowed ihside the locked confines of the lower gallery in the Art Building Wednesday gt; to see a sneak pteview of the Danish graphic arts exhibit. Being the epitome of the "generalpublic," an uninitiate, and a rank novice, I though I had long ago given up my bold and brash forays. intothe art realm. But I was very much impressed with the display, even though none of it had been arranged and much yet unpacked, arid I had better say something now, before it all gets said. Much of thedisplay deals with advertising — posters, mobiles, poster stamps, displays — and since advertising isaimed at the "general public," I am safe in talking about its effect on me, and I need say nothing aboutcolor, design, etc., of which I know nothing. I suppose I am no different than all of us in that I, too,succumb to the advice and, often, commands of the ad man's messages. But I am offended (as we allmust be) to think that many of our nation's advertisers seem to think that I have no taste, no sense ofhumor, and little intelligence. The venerable prophets of Madison Ave. seem to think that they needonly to slap me with bold colors, catchy slogans, and sexy girls, and I will rush out and spend, spend,spend. Sadly enough, it's usually true. The point is, if I have to be told what to buy I'd rather have them"tell me in Denmark. The attitude behind the advertising posters from Denmark seems to be that ofproducing something you'll see. and want to read, as opposed to the attitude here that you won't even want to see it, but if it hits you hard enough you'll buy the product without even thinking. To digress intothe content of the exhibit, notice, for instance, the terrific poster of the piano-playing tiger—it makes me want to attend the circus just to see the wild, roaring beast that can be made fun of. Or perhaps thelittle poster stamps—they can't use billboards in Denmark, so they've gone to the other and morefascinating extreme. And no marred scenery. Since I lack the proper critic's vocabulary, try this: Are you chained to the advertising habit? Try Denmark for a change. Or: Buying more now and hating it? All inall you get a lot to like in this exhibit—humor, quality, and plenty of good taste.

Home of The Square Barber Pole and the Round Barber ERNIE'S BARBER SHOP BELOW GUS'S By Bill Burke Now that we have slipped into at least atemporary summer (By the way, did you notice that the day after the P-I ran a front page story saying"where is summer," the sun blazoned out hot and sticky?) we might as well talk about Birch Bay. Notthe Bay so much, but the Birch Bay Sun. Not even that so much— the point is, the editors of the Sun(ex-editors, as you all must know, of the Collegian) hold an annual beauty contest. And they seem tothink that all the beautiful girls come from Canada and lie about the beach all summer getting lovelytans. Now that raises the ire within me"4—I happen to like the girls a t " Western, and think they could * out-beauty those Bay chicks any day. Well, in all the glory of my impetuous nature, I challenged thehonorable editors Simpson and Ehlers, saying in effect that I could find a girl here at Western whowould steal the show. So I. need a girl!! All you young lovelies who would like to help me win thechallenge come and see us. We'll pick the loveliest and rush her out to Birch Bay Thursday, August 9,for all the festivities. She'll ride in a convertible, be heard live on radio KPUG, and when we win, she'll get a free weekend for two (?) at the Bay. Onward—All the; niceties and failures of our automated societyhit me with full and sweaty force: the other day. I was out cutting my lawn (that "lawn" part is'a jokebetween me and my landlord) with a hand sickle. And as I stood gasping in the heat, the automatictimer on the automatic chimes in that big church downtown struck six and automatic music rang outacross the city. Now _ surely with all that they should be able to find an automatic substitute for a hand sickle.

Asked if he felt that the education program might be neglected iby anincrease in the arts and science program, Dr. Snedeker said that he believes in the value of a verybroad background, on which to base specialization. "The education program can only be enchanced by the scientific programs," he said. Contrary to popular opinion, "Chicken Cacciatori" is not cowardly.

Lets face it, only so much happens at Western. Thus the establishment of FalstaffAssociates, a symposium of opinion concerning issues MEANINGFUL to contemporarystudents. Topics will 'be selected from those submitted by students or staff the week previous to agiven symposum and stated at the end of each feature. Contributions will be accepted from any who.rares to submit his opinion; ' in the unlikely case that contributions exceed available space they will be considered on the basis of readability, pointedness, and contrast to other writings. All opinionsshould be stated within a maximum of 125 words. The purpose of such a feature is to give theanonymous student a chance to state views without the intellectual drudgery of writing a completecolumn or the pretence of composing The Very Proper Letter to the Editor. Names will be printedwith the contribution or witheld on resuest. SICK, SICK, SICK -'• Since one must begin somewhere, we have selected the first topic, "Sick Humor: What is it, does it swing, is it nasty, why don't morepeople dig it, etc." If you dislike the opinions stated, feel free to wax brilliant; only one qualification—the printers haven't learned to set up snarls, so let's keep this bit intellectual and use words. JoeFasciani—"Sick Humor— what is it? This .is the appeal for humor through the use of materialtraditionall considered taboo. Such material would include death, illness, both physical and mental,people in mishaps or even gory accidents. Yet how sick is this? I feel that the very fact that it is nowdiscussed where previously it was banned is a sign of awareness, even if that awareness seemscruel or crass. Was it a virtue to ignore the negative aspects of life now considered humorous? Thatthe irreverence and lightness displayed toward these aspects is sick may be true, but how can thematerial be sick? If so, then all life must be sick. I feel irreverence is essentially healthy, for it means a lapsing from dag-matism. Sick humor is hardly about to usher in a philosophy of awareness, but it maystartle that which most needs it—ourselves." Anonymous Girl—"Wild." Grad Student in Psych—"IRemember-only YOU can PREVENT FOREST FIRES! have heard approximately 14 so-called sickjokes in my life. 13 of them I heard after spring quarter 1958. The other one was about the kid who finally found the baby's soft spot which I heard shortly after the birth of my son: I don't know." JackNeill—r"Somehdw I prefer 'Sick' humor to the 'Pat and Mike,' 'Amos and Andy,' 'Farmer andSalesman' type jokes one used to hear with their quaint allusions to 'nasty' acts and 'human' foibles. Atleast a sick joke makes one realize the callousness with which we go around performing our roles, afact that old humor tried to pass off as being the expression of 'illbred and ignorant' people from'unfortunate' ethnic groups. For instance: the mother-child bit that runs, 'Mommy, mommy, why can't I . . .?' and Mother, 'Shut up and . . .'• hits home the adage about honoring one's father and mother in anoperational way. 'Sickists' do not merely play lip service, they do their duty with a vengeance. Or takethe one; 'Can Johnny come out and play . . .' Merely an extrapolation from a child's view, of whathappens in an adult world—where one uses another only to be abused in turn—where regard for theburden of another's affliction is a ceremonial mouthing, sacrosanct but not serious. I think 'Sick'humor is a sane rebellion against the hypocritical maudlinism of business society and big peergroups; the exposure of street life to the eyes of 'Right Thinking' policy makers." Bob Galf ord —"Sick Humor — ah, yes. It is the sick who call this type of humor sick. Their sickness is that they arementally handicapped. Oh well, I suppose one should hire the handicapped. After all, they are fun to watch." MORE TO COME Unfortunately there were several contributors who failed the deadline,however we look forward to printing their opinions next week. Dr. Roy Mumme of the faculty has beensounded on this issue and may be cajoled into offering us a morsel of his marginal mentality. Surelythere must be someone who finds "Sick" humor abominable and detestworthy—let's hear from you!First Wrestling Workshop Held (Continued from page 1) Lynch who coached the Javee's for Hubbardlast year. Tomaras said that at 10:00 a.m. Monday the movie of the; "NCAA Wrestling Championships Finals" will be shown in the Carver Gymnasium. Incidentally Tomaras offers a wrestling course atnight school and this also draws in coaches from the area. There is still time to register for this session.An in-^ teresting highlight of the session will be some special wrestling matches. Although it keepsyou awake, Caffe Expresso is non-addictive.
