Holding its regular semi-monthly
business meeting, the Women's
League commission met in the
Edens Hall Club room Monday
noon, October 4, with President
Maxine Moldrem in charge. Miss
Linda Countryman, faculty adviser
of Women's League, was present at
the meeting.
Electton of Maxine Moldrem and
Jean B«gstedt to represent Wom­en's
League at the nominating
convention Tuesday, October 5,
constituted the first item of busi­ness.
Speakers for the next Wom­en's
League assembly to be held
October 22 were suggested. Mem­bers
discussed possible candidates
for the office of secretary left va­cant
by Lillian Pearson, who is
now attending the University of

leadership committee.
o
Triangles Plan For
'Be Aware' Year
More Card Stunts
New Site Promised by Neil;
Section Praised
"Card stunts at the Pacific
Lutheran football game were
really well performed and
more than rewarded our ef­forts
in putting them on,"
were the words of card leader,
Ralph Neil, in describing the
efforts of the card section.
"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.
The game tomorrow night
will see even more color than
was the case Friday since a set
of cards with St. Martins' col­ors
will be used in addition to
our own white and blue cards.
The band will probably be used
in conjunction with the cards
tomorrow evening as an added
feature

pleased with the many applications
for positions, and that it was dif­ficult
to choose from them. Com­pulsory
meetings for the staff will
be held twice a month.
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

"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

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.
Art Work Receives High Rating
Art work, opening sections, ad­ministration
and class sections,
received the highest ratings. Also

Comedy Cast
Anne Matheson to Star in Show
Production Staged Penthouse
Style in Edens Hall Blue Room
Scintillating with a cast of new
stars, final selections for "Personal
Appearance,' the Division of Dra­ma's
fall production, were made
yesterday by V. 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.

"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 Bellingham Theater Guild
has recently resumed activity for its
ninth consecutive season. The op­ening

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

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

same arrangement will probably be
made this season.

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.

"I hope that the association
with the students win be mutually
profitable and agreeable," an­nounces
Dr. M. S. 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.
