Vol. XLIV —No. 15 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, January 25 1946 National Survey Made By Times 0n House Shortage WWC is far from being the only school with the difficult problem of housing veterans and others who desire to enter college now that the war is over. According to a survey conducted this month by the New York Times, colleges and universities in every part of the country are turning away thousands of discharged war veterans because of insufficient housing, overcrowded classrooms, and lack of instruction staffs. Nearly all of 60 leading American institutions of h i g h e r learning reached in the study, report that they are either turning away qualified veterans and civilians, or will be forced to do so when the September term opens. Many colleges and universities report that never before, not even during peak pre-war days, have so many students applied for admission. NO ADMISSION Several reasons are offered by college officials for this inability to accommodate veterans. During the war, colleges reached a new low in enrollment. As a result, teaching staffs were frequently reduced. But more important still was the inability of the institutions to keep their building programs up to date. Today, the survey indicates, the question of housing is the most important that colleges face. A majority of the institutions report that it is the inability to provide living quarters for the veterans that is forcing them reluctantly to adopt the "no admission" policy. This is especially true about married students. Few institutions have suitable living quarters for married veterans and their wives. Trailers and Quonset huts, however, are already functioning on many campuses. ENROLLMENT JUMPS Stanford University has been forced to turn away many married veterans because of the housing shortage. Registration for the winter quarter will approach the pre-war high of 4,200. The enrollment of veterans jumped from 441 during fall quarter to 1000 for winter quarter. Denver U. has 2,000 veterans enrolled now, or 45% of the student body. Nine hundred are expected to apply for March registration. Already 400 prospective students have been turned away and the university expects to turn away 1000 more during March and September terms. Two hotels are being remodeled to provide classroom and living space. The University of California has 100 veterans attending classes now and 2000 are expected for the February term, with 3500 by September. No one who has qualified has been rejected, but many may be discouraged because of insufficient housing. ^ Dateline . . . Saturday, January 25—Dance, 9:00, Student Lounge.

It will be a non-profit organization, but a nominal fee not to exceed $1.00 registration or 35c weekly dues, depending on the number of students participating, will be required to take care of expenses. Remember, the dance ~ will be held every Thursday evening at 8:00 p. m. from February 7 until May 30. If you are interested phone 2400 or 3442-R before Friday, February 1. Bulletin Snaps Shot Here Last Tuesday • Stuart Hertz, photographer for the Seattle P.-I. and "on call"- photographer for Life magazine, was on ? the campus Tuesday taking pictures for the Faculty Bulletin. Hertz was assisted in his work by Mrs. Ruth Burnet, Dr. K e i th Goltry, Miss Pearl M e r r i m a n, -Joanne Plumb, Pedie Hyatt, Bunny Bilodeau, and Barbara McConnell. Hertz was the guest of Charles Rice of the Industrial Arts department for lunch. Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, Klipsun and Collegian adviser, hopes to obtain Hertz for Klipsun and Collegian pictures to be taken soon. She also wishes' to thank all the -people who cooperated with the photography committee. Austen West, n o t e d lecturer-photographer, will present his pictures of South Africa at the assembly on February i. Among his many interesting natural color pictures are the homesteads of Cape Town, Johannesburg and its gold mines— how they work, and who works them; playgrounds of South Africa, including Durban, famed resort; the great natural bekuty of the country as you.go up into the African snow. Also the Zululand—a warrior nation, once breeders of black Hitlers, their love letters in beads, and their tribal ceremonies. West served as a lieutenant in the Motor Transport Corps of the South African Army, and had many interesting experiences. During the time West was a rancher in South Africa, he relates that he often had to stop work to quell rebellions and hunt down cattle thieves. This is West's first visit to the United States, but he has received favorable comment wherever he has lectured. Get In Swing! Wear Tag "BUT I DON'T KNOW TWEN-, TY WOMEN IN THIS COLLEGE TO NOMINATE FOR PROM QUEEN!" So goes the big cry of many of the men at WWC, and for the most part, it may be true. Can't let a thing like that go on, can we, coeds? LET'S GET ASSOCIATED!" is the purported panacea, or in smaller words, the best way out. The WWCollegian staff, in order to make the 1946 Publications Prom a bigger and better affair than ever before, urges all WWCers to support "LET'S GET ASSOCIATED WEEK", beginning January 28, or next Monday. You know Monday, that old Blue zombie that comes around every week? Well, let's pep it up by sporting these little identification deals. Every student, from the little ready teddy frosh to the big doin* bruin seniors, should get in stride. Let's see a L.G.A. card on every one of you next week! Lee To Cook On January thirty-first a new era of good cooks will come into being, for that is the day Celia Lee arrives from the Seattle Centennial Flouring Mills to demonstrate for the people of WWC, and all outsiders who wish to attend. Celia Lee is, in private life, Miss Mabel Mulli-ken, a very talented and charming home economist. She will demonstrate ner "Mix In A Minute"—quick cake method from three until four in room one. All students, faculty and off-campus people are welcome to attend. Miss Mulliken will also speak at the meeting of the Home Economics Club on that day. She will speak at 4:00 p. m. in room one, on "Jobs for Girls Trained In Home Economics." All girls who are interested, other than members of the Club are urged to attend. WSSF Drive Starts Here; Plans Rolling The World Student Service Fund (WSSF) will start an active campaign sponsored by Blue Triangle next week. Blue Triangle will, however, by no means be handling it alone. School-wide, the campaign will be led by "a central committee made up of the presidents of all clubs. GOAL SET As the goal is one dollar per person, WWC's quota will be a little over $400. All the organized houses are expected to raise a sum equivalent to one dollar fpr each occupant. Those who don't live in an organized house will be organized into a town group, and all of these organizations will be held responsible for a certain amount. It can be raised in any way from a raffle to a dance. . The war's end has only multiplied the need for help in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of university life in Europe and Asia. During the coming year, aid will go to students in 18 countries. WSSF INCLUDES The World Student Service Fund: 1. Provides direct relief for students and professors who are victims of war, 2. Is the American student's part in the world enterprise of student- to-student help, 3. Provides aid where it is needed most on an international, interracial, non-sectarian, non-political basis, and 4. Means "reconstruction" now. • ONE DOLLAR DOES THIS One dollar will supply the notebooks and paper required by a victim of war for six months. It will also provide a month's supply of soy-bean milk for a Chinese student threatened with tuberculosis. Dr. Shih, Chinese professor from the University of Washington, is scheduled to speak in the February 15 assembly about the WSSF campaign. World wide, student needs for the coming year have been estimated conservatively at $2,000,000. One-half of this amount must be raised by students and professors in the United States. Carnival Proves Inflated Success Almost all WWCers and their friends turned out Friday night after the game 'to try their hands in big business. Before the evening was over, the shock of the-fabulously high prices had passed and $10 was calmly paid for a doughnut. With these 200 to one odds someone was heard to remark that this was even 'better than going to Canada. Fortune telling, under the chairmanship of June Shomshak, held a line all evening. Barney Barnhill, Barbara McConnell and Mary Ann Teichroew looked into the future. The baseball throw was mobbed all evening, messengers carried telegrams, and almost everyone tossed pennies. One side of the Lounge was devoted to dancing and by the door was a sale of cokes and doughnuts. To climax the evening, the drawing for the winner of the dog on display at the Co-op last week, showed Kathleen Brodahl to be the winner. Edens Hall To Stage Benefit Barn Dance "Cow Cow Boogie" Frivolous Theme; Rutledge and Anderson Co-chairmen of February 1 Event "Cow Cow Boogie" is to be the theme of the Edens hall tolo barn dance which will be held in the Edens hall dining room next Friday evening, February first, at nine p. m. Margaret Rutledge and Catherine Anderson are co-chairmen in charge of the event. Decorations for the dance will be on the rustic side, with a little hay, a few signs, cowbells and milkpails adding the proper atmosphere. Couples attending the dance are requested to dress as they would "down on the farm", and some suggestions have been cotton skirts, blouses or dresses for the girls, or perhaps jeans and plaid shirts; and plaid shirts, cords, slacks, or jeans for the men. The dance is to be a benefit for the World Student Service Fund, and all money taken in will go towards meeting the Edens hall quota in the present drive. Admission is one dollar per couple, and tickets will be on sale in the front hall of the main building all next week. All girls of the school are invited to come to this dance and bring their dates. Dancing will be to the music of the jukebox, which will be played in the pit as it was at last year's spring formal. Punch will be served from suitable containers in keeping with the theme. Committees working on the dance are as follows: decorations, Mary Ann Teichroew .and Barbara McConnell, co-chairmen; Helen Boyer,' Barbara Stockton, Martha Walen, Leonora Thomas, Midge Sprom-berg, Lois Benefiel, Marilyn Lee and Priscilla Schumann; and tickets, Pat Temperley and Ethel Martinson, co-chairmen; Jean Knudson and Annette Bilodeau. Others are publicity, Pat Williams and Jeanne Landers, co-chairmen; Blanche Deering, Bonnie Hinote and Zelma Blekkink; invitations, Margaret Whitaker and Georgia Driver; refreshments, Lois Craig and Marjorie West; music, Arlene Swanson and Margaret L u t r o; and clean-up, Marjorie Traulsen and Shirley Hjunt, co-chairmen; Delores Wilson, Elsie Espeseth, Betty Butler, Gerry Woodward, Mary Ellen Francis and Barbara Huffman. Clothing Drive Ends Today The AWS Clothing Drive, under the directorship of Virginia Pendleton, draws to a close today, and all things that are to be credited to the various classes must be in by this afternoon. The winner of this contest will be announced in the near future, as will the losing class and the penalty to be imposed on it. 0. Schapiro Plays The first real exposure to good music this quarter for Western Washington came last Tuesday in the form of Maxim Schapiro, Russian- born concert pianist. He played before a large audience of students, faculty and townspeople and offered such classics as a Beethoven sonata in three movements, the Barcarolle by Chopin and various compositions by other artists. Schapiro's complete mastery of the keyboard came out in versatile rendition of a tango and a ragtime bass along with the classic greats. At the beginning of the program, Stuart Hertz, who spent that day photographing various phases of college life for the Faculty Bulletin, snapped Schapiro's picture while he was in action at the piano. H. S, Seniors To Visit Here On February 15 the 1946 High School Leader's Conference will get under way with WWC playing host for a day. Over 100 high school girls and their advisers will represent 28 high schools from Snohomish, Whatcom and Skagit counties. Every hour of the day will be filled with interesting and enjoyable features for the conference delegates. The program will begin at nine a. m., at which time the • girls and their advisers will register. At 9:45 a campus tour will be conducted and the morning • will end with the assembly. A luncheon will be served the delegates at 12:30 and the afternoon program will begin with five discussion groups, the high school girls composing four groups and their advisers, one. The day will culminate with a fashion show and tea at three. Chairmen for the various committees are Zelma Blekkink, luncheon; J e a n n e Landers, fashion show; Margaret Keehn, registration; Mildred Fyfe, guide books; Jeanne Nunamaker, publicity; Virginia Pendleton, songs; Pedie Hyatt, tea. Survey Made The higher education division of the Washington State Educational Survey, will be on the WWC campus from Monday, January 28, thi*ough Thursday, January 31, under the direction of Arthur J. Klein, Dean Emeritus of School of Education at Ohio State University. Working with him will be Dr. Earl Anderson and Dean E. Y. Blewett. Dr. George E. Strayer, who recently retired from his position as professor of Education Administration at the Teacher's College, Columbia University, will probably be with them part of the time. We Need A Band! Downbeat Stuff Music, Maestro, PLEASE! We love you, we love you, we need you. A rose without a thorn, a chicken without a feather, and a basketball game without a band —it just won't work. What we need is some students who are interested in a good band and interested enough that they'll dig up their instruments and turn out for band practice. Did you notice the lack of pep at the games last Friday and Saturday night? The paying customers did. That was your fault—you didn't come out and yell for our team. We've got a pip of a team—they're good, but they need the support of the students and a band. Music is the root of basketball pep and we're the branches that give out with the leaves of yells and more yells. Don't you see? . It's the spirit of the thing. "Let's (3et Associated!" Theme On Campus This Week

Dr. Shih, Chinese professor from the University of Washington, is scheduled to speak in the February 15 assembly about the WSSF campaign. World wide, student needs for the coming year have been estimated conservatively at $2,000,000. One-half of this amount must be raised by students and professors in the United States. Carnival Proves Inflated Success Almost all WWCers and their friends turned out Friday night after the game 'to try their hands in big business. Before the evening was over, the shock of the-fabulously high prices had passed and $10 was calmly paid for a doughnut. With these 200 to one odds someone was heard to remark that this was even 'better than going to Canada. Fortune telling, under the chairmanship of June Shomshak, held a line all evening. Barney Barnhill, Barbara McConnell and Mary Ann Teichroew looked into the future. The baseball throw was mobbed all evening, messengers carried telegrams, and almost everyone tossed pennies. One side of the Lounge was devoted to dancing and by the door was a sale of cokes and doughnuts. To climax the evening, the drawing for the winner of the dog on display at the Co-op last week, showed Kathleen Brodahl to be the winner. Edens Hall To Stage Benefit Barn Dance "Cow Cow Boogie" Frivolous Theme; Rutledge and Anderson Co-chairmen of February 1 Event "Cow Cow Boogie" is to be the theme of the Edens hall tolo barn dance which will be held in the Edens hall dining room next Friday evening, February first, at nine p. m. Margaret Rutledge and Catherine Anderson are co-chairmen in charge of the event. Decorations for the dance will be on the rustic side, with a little hay, a few signs, cowbells and milkpails adding the proper atmosphere. Couples attending the dance are requested to dress as they would "down on the farm", and some suggestions have been cotton skirts, blouses or dresses for the girls, or perhaps jeans and plaid shirts; and plaid shirts, cords, slacks, or jeans for the men. The dance is to be a benefit for the World Student Service Fund, and all money taken in will go towards meeting the Edens hall quota in the present drive. Admission is one dollar per couple, and tickets will be on sale in the front hall of the main building all next week. All girls of the school are invited to come to this dance and bring their dates. Dancing will be to the music of the jukebox, which will be played in the pit as it was at last year's spring formal. Punch will be served from suitable containers in keeping with the theme.

Clothing Drive Ends Today The AWS Clothing Drive, under the directorship of Virginia Pendleton, draws to a close today, and all things that are to be credited to the various classes must be in by this afternoon. The winner of this contest will be announced in the near future, as will the losing class and the penalty to be imposed on it. 0. Schapiro Plays The first real exposure to good music this quarter for Western Washington came last Tuesday in the form of Maxim Schapiro, Russian- born concert pianist. He played before a large audience of students, faculty and townspeople and offered such classics as a Beethoven sonata in three movements, the Barcarolle by Chopin and various compositions by other artists. Schapiro's complete mastery of the keyboard came out in versatile rendition of a tango and a ragtime bass along with the classic greats. At the beginning of the program, Stuart Hertz, who spent that day photographing various phases of college life for the Faculty Bulletin, snapped Schapiro's picture while he was in action at the piano.

Downbeat Stuff Music, Maestro, PLEASE! We love you, we love you, we need you. A rose without a thorn, a chicken without a feather, and a basketball game without a band —it just won't work. What we need is some students who are interested in a good band and interested enough that they'll dig up their instruments and turn out for band practice. Did you notice the lack of pep at the games last Friday and Saturday night? The paying customers did. That was your fault—you didn't come out and yell for our team. We've got a pip of a team—they're good, but they need the support of the students and a band. Music is the root of basketball pep and we're the branches that give out with the leaves of yells and more yells. Don't you see? . It's the spirit of the thing. "Let's (3et Associated!"
