"Our only regret is that we didn't have a photographer present so we could show the occupants of the card section what they accomplished," he said. Neil also stated that the location of the cards would be changed to a point nearer the fifty-yard line thus. making it easier to have plenty of students to perform the stunts without asking them to change their seats.

Instead of regular positions being filled this fall for the Klipsun a staff has been appointed to cover the work in general. Regular positions will be assigned Spring quarter, ' according to the work done. This will leave room for additions and changes in the crew in order to get an efficient group.

Starting as soon as possible next week, Junior-Senior class and Football pictures will be taken. Notices will be posted on the bulletin board. Faculty pictures will be taken in their offices next week also. "Last year the Klipsun won first class rating. Excellent score was given to the personality section and general effect due to the snapshots turned in. We hope this year to have an even better turn-out of photographs. Students are requested to submit any photographs or snapshots they have,' stated the editor. First class honor rating has been awarded the 1937 Klipsun, WWC's yearbook, in the 1937 critical service conducted by the National Scholastic Press Association. The annual, edited by Margaret Thon and managed by Helen Hostetter, was scored "excellent" by the judges. The Klipsun was one of 19 books from colleges with enrollments of 500 to 1000 students to receive this rating. Forty-three books were judged in this group. First class rating has now been awarded the Klipsun for three consecutive years. Previous to 1935, most WWC annuals received second class rating.

H. Hoppe, of the Speech department. Anne Matheson was cast for the leading role of Carole Arden, the part played by Mae West on the screen. Miss Matheson took part in "Admiral Crichton," which was staged here several years ago. Others drawing parts were Naomi Fussell, Gladys Kelcey; Maryl Winship, Aunt Kate; Reva Barr, Joyce Stru-thers; Thomas Evans, Chester Norton (Bud); Pat Stoddard, tors. Stru-thers; Wilton Poolman, Clyde Pel-ton; Vern Liedle, Gene Tuttle; Homer Morris, Johnson; Mildred Bean, Jessie. Miss Bean will also act as assistant director. New Style Play The comedy will be presented penthouse style in the Blue room of Edens hall, three nights and a Saturday matinee, November 17, 18, and 19. The play will be a part of the Homecoming celebration which is held the same week. I n brief explanation, penthouse style means that there are no stage and no walls, but that the actors perform with the audience intimately grouped on four sides. This type of theatre calls for a quiet and convincing realism not attained on the theatrical stage. Last year the Division of Drama presented Sydney Howard's "The Late Christopher Bean," which was hailed as a success by the critics. Coming Artist\ Library Receives Latest Reference Books "Unless more students turn out for orchestra and band, these two activities will not come up to our previous standards,' says Mi-. Bush-ell, of the Music department, in a recent interview. "Our greatest needs are for brass and string players for the orchestra. The band is growing but a trombone player is needed. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced student, turn out immediately if you are interested." Orchestra rehearsals are held on Monday at 4:00 o'clock and Thursday night at 7:30. Band meets on Tuesday at 7:30 and Thursday at 4:00. Bellingham Theatre Guild Will Stage Salty Drama of'Cappy Ricks For Season s 1937 Opening Production The Bellingham Theater Guild has recently resumed activity for its ninth consecutive season. The opening i play,; ,"Cappy Ricks," by Edward E. Rose from the story of Peter B. Kyne, is in rehearsal under the direction of Randy Overlatz, with a cast .including Frank Burnet, who is'Guild president, Mr. Norman Burchette, Joan Schafer, Katherine Bowden, Doris Brighouse, Bill Big-gerstaff, and Ronald Lund. "Cappy Ricks" will open on Wednesday, November 3, and run for four days at the Guild Playhouse. 120 Prospect street, opposite the City Hall. I n preparation for this event an energetic campaign for members is in full swing under the direction of Arthur C. Hicks, the Guild vice-president, who reports that nearly half of the anticipated 600 members have been already secured, a month before the first play opens. A highly successful season is in prospect on Prospect street. From the beginning, Victor H. Hoppe has been active in direction, acting and executive work in the Guild. Many of the Guild's best players have been trained by Mr. Hoppe in College productions. Every season opportunity is afforded students to take:- part in Guild plays. Last year a special rate of twenty-five cents plus tax was made by the Guild management for students at the box office. Between 50 and 100 collegians attended Guild productions regularly. The same arrangement will probably be made this season. For those who desire to take part in production or acting, membership tickets are available at the price of $3.15. Each ticket is good for eight admissions to Guild productions. These may be purchased from -Arthur C. Hicks in the English office. Miss Wilson, librarian, has received the latest and finest editions of reference books, thereby giving WWC students the best sources of information available. No otner new books have been ordered, but before the year is over many new books will be on hand. In addition to the reference books there are 17,- 000 books on present day curriculum, all in the main reading room. The latest books, received last year, have been put on display for the faculty only, but in a short time will be open to the students. Many interesting books are included in this display. Many books are on the subject of teaching, among4 them such books as "Aptitutte and and Aptitude Testing," by Walter Bingham, and "Teaching the Elementary Curriculum," by Sheldn Davis. One section is devoted to the lives of great men. Included in the in-tinerary are Hearst, Kipling, Twain, Pilsudsky and many others. o Olafur Kardal, Icelandic tenor, will present a program Tuesday, October 12, at WWC. Advance reports say that he pleases with the rich vibrant quality of his voice and the sympathetic fidelity of his interpretations. He tells the story of the song in his singing, as well as the words and music. Mr. Kardal has a beautiful legato tenor, with power and flexibility. He will be accompanied by Clara Vander- Griend. . Two Winners Will Take Office Immediately; AH Speak In Tuesday's Assembly Election Is Wednesday WWC Seeking Membership Representative of National Organization To Inspect College During This Week On The Hon WWC has been selected as one of four representative institutions to be studied this year by the Committee on Membership and Maintaining Standards of the American Association of University Women. The purpose of this study is to arrive at a basis upon which teacher, training institutions would be eligible to apply for the approval of the association. The committee has been carrying on this study for the last two years. The members of the committee who will visit us this week are Dr. Katharine R. Adams, chairman, Poughkeepsie, New York; and Dr.' Helen C. Davis, of the Colorado State College of Education, at Greeley. They will be here Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 7, 8 and 9. Dr. Davis and Dr. Adams will interview administrative officers and some of the faculty members of WWC. They will be given complete freedom to examine in any way they choose. If WWC is accepted for membership in the American Association of University Women, our women graduates will have the opportunity of belonging to local branches of the association along with graduates of other colleges and universities. By Don Gooding Results of the nominating convention last Tuesday were neither too numerous nor too startling to make a summary in one sentence an impossibility. Alice Molenkamp, Helen Masters, and Catherine Christy were nominated to run for the office of four-quarter women's representative in the voting next Wednesday, while Ralph Neil, Alice James, and Harold Nelson were selected to battle for the other representative post open to both men and co-eds. A scrutiny of the college constitution reveals that this list does not prevent other students from competing for the positions. Constitutionally, a name may still be added to the official ballot by the presentation of a petition bearing 25 signatures, provided the scholarship committee tacks its necessary sanction to the sticker. Big Attendance Feature One of the largest tribunals in history, consisting of 24 delegates from the campus clubs, the sophomore and junior-senior classes, and the board, was summoned to provide for the filling of vacancies in the college legislature left by the graduation of Anna Padden and Ed Tomco, former representatives. Because student prexy Don Zyl-stra has encountered only trouble so far. this fall in. his efforts-to-get a quorum in the same place at the same time to transact a few routine and pressing matters, the two victors will take office immediately after Wednesday's election has run its legal course. Candidates Orate Tuesday All six candidates will be given an opportunity to display their elocutionary prowess Tuesday, when they will point out their better features and submit promises of fidelity to the assembly, audience. Miss Florence E. Johnson, Dean of Women, was present at Tuesday's meeting to open the session and supervise nomination proceedings. Don Zylstra substituted for Frank Chorvat, delegate from the board, who was absent. o No Rec Hour For Tonight "There will ne no Rec hour tonight," announced Donald Zylstra, president of the Associated Student Body. The various churches in Bellingham are holding meetings in their social rooms with the hope of drawing attendance from the many new students enrolled at WWC. Rec hours will be continued next week.

Kuder, new registrar. Irl giving his impression of Bellingham and the surrounding country, Dr Kuder says, "There are more of the things here that I enjoy than in any other part of the country which I have seen. The mountains, lakes, and sound contribute to make perfect scenery." The new registrar likes fishing and believes the opportunities here ;are excellent. Born A Buckeye Dr. Kuder was born in Loveland, His most vivid remembrance of his college life was his fraternity initiation. The initiation committee expounded the idea of loyalty, etc. to all the candidates and then pleaded for offers of $300 from the neophytes to help balance the budget. Students wishing to contribute to the alma mater were to stand up. A seat with an electric wire brought the neophytes to their feet in a rush, but according to Dr. kuder the institution never suceeded in collecting. Bellingham Genial Host "Bellinghani's people are most congenial and hospitable. The Ohio, but* his boyhood was spent in faculty are the most wide-awake Menominee,^ of Northern Michigan, and sincere in their professional He went to Wooster college, in Ohio. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Arizona in 1928. He also attended Columbia university where he secured his'doc-tor's derrree. outlook: of any I have ever met. There is less of the petty feeling between faculty members and more of, the give and take feeling. All instructors work -together and co-operati" eness prevails."

The play will be a part of the Homecoming celebration which is held the same week. I n brief explanation, penthouse style means that there are no stage and no walls, but that the actors perform with the audience intimately grouped on four sides. This type of theatre calls for a quiet and convincing realism not attained on the theatrical stage. Last year the Division of Drama presented Sydney Howard's "The Late Christopher Bean," which was hailed as a success by the critics. Coming Artist\ Library Receives Latest Reference Books "Unless more students turn out for orchestra and band, these two activities will not come up to our previous standards,' says Mi-. Bush-ell, of the Music department, in a recent interview. "Our greatest needs are for brass and string players for the orchestra. The band is growing but a trombone player is needed. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced student, turn out immediately if you are interested." Orchestra rehearsals are held on Monday at 4:00 o'clock and Thursday night at 7:30. Band meets on Tuesday at 7:30 and Thursday at 4:00.

The purpose of this study is to arrive at a basis upon which teacher, training institutions would be eligible to apply for the approval of the association. The committee has been carrying on this study for the last two years. The members of the committee who will visit us this week are Dr. Katharine R.

If WWC is accepted for membership in the American Association of University Women, our women graduates will have the opportunity of belonging to local branches of the association along with graduates of other colleges and universities. By Don Gooding Results of the nominating convention last Tuesday were neither too numerous nor too startling to make a summary in one sentence an impossibility. Alice Molenkamp, Helen Masters, and Catherine Christy were nominated to run for the office of four-quarter women's representative in the voting next Wednesday, while Ralph Neil, Alice James, and Harold Nelson were selected to battle for the other representative post open to both men and co-eds. A scrutiny of the college constitution reveals that this list does not prevent other students from competing for the positions. Constitutionally, a name may still be added to the official ballot by the presentation of a petition bearing 25 signatures, provided the scholarship committee tacks its necessary sanction to the sticker. Big Attendance Feature One of the largest tribunals in history, consisting of 24 delegates from the campus clubs, the sophomore and junior-senior classes, and the board, was summoned to provide for the filling of vacancies in the college legislature left by the graduation of Anna Padden and Ed Tomco, former representatives.

Kuder, new registrar. Irl giving his impression of Bellingham and the surrounding country, Dr Kuder says, "There are more of the things here that I enjoy than in any other part of the country which I have seen.

Born A Buckeye Dr. Kuder was born in Loveland, His most vivid remembrance of his college life was his fraternity initiation. The initiation committee expounded the idea of loyalty, etc. to all the candidates and then pleaded for offers of $300 from the neophytes to help balance the budget. Students wishing to contribute to the alma mater were to stand up. A seat with an electric wire brought the neophytes to their feet in a rush, but according to Dr. kuder the institution never suceeded in collecting.
