There has been some
mention of a beard-growing
contest for Cam­pus
day. We are not in
favor of such a drastic
move. It is all right for
some of those guys who
sport a young wheat
field with a covey of quail
on their phizzes but what
about us'ns that write to
their home town news­paper
when they sprout
peach fuzz after a week's
steady sprinkling with
Sterno, the miracle hair
restorer.
Anyway it's only 11
days until the gala spring
festival date and already
the performers in the
crew races are getting
ready for the watery
struggle. At least that
is the reason given us for
the many cars parked
along the Fill these even­ings.
The Fill is also
known as the Furniture
Factory estuary.
We feel sure we have
picked a winner in the
pie-eating contest. We
are ready to back Norm
Dahl, the Seabiscuit, in
any size pie. Norm is a
graduate of the now de­funct
Beanery and as
such, should give the oth­er
contestants a handi­cap.
At the Beanery it
was a case of the sur­vival
of the fittest and
fastest. Norm is the
best eater we have seen
for lo these many years,
both in quantity, speed,
and finesse. .
SHORT STUFF . . .
Let it now be said that
Dr. M. F. Cederstrom's
son and heir apparent,
believes in calling a spade
a spade and not a dirty
old shovel. For further
particulars inquire of the
10 o'clock comp class of
the erudite Minnesotan.
Walter Baker, the Mar­ietta
Maurauder, confides
that the Navy is growing
very concerned over the
Panama Canal zone and
adjacent waters. Bake
is tentatively slated for
training there after he
gets through his reserve
training at Chicago.
F u r t h e r news from
Uncle Sam's front informs
that Butch Franko, Don
Bell, and Lobo Moscrip
are safely at, Santa Maria.
Don was made a leader
of the Northwest cadets
on the trip to California.
Further news will be
forthcoming next week,
we keep telling ourself.

Norse Sail Again;
Islands Beware
Annual Men's Club Cruise
Dated for Sunday Morning.
75 to Participate on Trip
As the Sea Scout ships, Activian
and Legionnaire, put out of Belling -
ham harbor Sunday morning, the
annual Norsemen's cruise will get
underway. According to Brian Rob-son,
the boats are to leave the Mu­nicipal
dock at 7:30 a. m. and will
sail among the San Juan islands for
the day, stopping at Sucia, Orcas,
and Sinclair. As a help for stu­dents
riot knowing the location of
the dock, a party is to be organiz­ed
at Edward's hall at 7 a. m.
"Approximately 75 WWC students
are to participate in this cruise,
which Robson feels will be one of
the most successful affairs the
Norsemen have staged. The party
will make a stop at Sucia island for
lunch and from there will move on
to Deer harbor at Orcas island. Last
stop before hitting the Bellingham
waterway at 10 p. m. will be Sin­clair
island.
Those planning the cruise stress
the fact that each member of the
group should bring both lunch and
dinner as well as cups and spoons.
Coffee will be served by the Norse­men.
Other suggestions offered by
the committee in charge warn stu­dents
to wear soft soled shoes and
take heed of sunburn.
In commenting on the cruise,
Robson said, "Weil do quite a bit
of singing and for this I would ad­vise
purchase of a copy of "Trail
Tunes." They're on sale at the Re­search
bureau for 10 cents a copy.
I'm telling you this will be a good
cruise, the best yet."
Klipsun Staff Plans
Color Schemes
At a Klipsun staff meeting held
last week, decisions were made as
to the colors to be used throughout
the book. The color of the end sheet
was selected to harmonize with the
cover.
Golf, tennis, and track pictures
were taken this week along with a
series of pictures for the feature
page. About 30 students (who are
still wondering what it's all about)
are being featured instead of the
usual one or two who are designat­ed
as the most popular.
Editor Shirlee Cratsenberg reports
that the KUpsun is being printed
now but that it is too soon to an­nounce
the date of release.
Al Salisbury of the Western En­graving
company spent last Friday
afternoon with members of the staff
discussng the 1941 Klipsun and pos­sibilities
for the 1942 book.

Casa Lomans Give
In Burlington
Booked to come to the new $20,000
Roller frolic at Burlington for the
grand opening Saturday, May 10, is
Glen Gray and his Casa Loma or­chestra.
Gray is being brought to
Burlington through the manage­ment
of the Music Corporation of
America.
Musicians from jazz instrument­alists
up to and including symphony
men marvel at the band's tecfihical
ability, its ensemble work, and the
virtuosity of its soloists. The gen­eral
public likes it not only for these
features but because it is "commer­cial"
without being "corny."
WRA PLAY DAY MAY 10
High School girls from Whatcom
and Skagit counties will be guests
of the WRA at the annual Play
day to be held May 10. The girls

Campus Day Dance
Held as Usual
Beards to be Grown, Planted
During 5-Day Interim—Uh!
As the 11 intervening days be­tween
today and Campus day
dwindle away, two events have def­initely
been decided upon. An ab­breviated,
fiye-day beard-growing.
contest will be held startm'gJ;Friday,
May 9, and ending Campus day,
May 13. The Campus day dance
will be held the evening of yCampus
day instead of the proposed Mon­day
night before. Otherwise, the
spring quarter highlight, with all
its traditional fun, will be much
the same as in past years.:'
Cash prize contests will, feature
part of the day. A $1 pftze each
for the longest, reddest, and fan­ciest
beard will be the incentive
for bewhiskered WWC malfs in the
Whiskereeno contest. Two win­ners,
a boy and a girl, will be se­lected
at Lakewobd in the( prelim­inary
pie-eating contest. These two
champions will battle in the even­ing
assembly for a $1 first prize
with 75 cents going to the loser.
The third, and perhaps most
aesthetic affair will be the men's
bathing beauty contest. The male
contestants, properly attired in
swimming suits, will vie .for a $1
first prize. The second most "beau­tiful
male" will receive 50pcents.
The judges for these} Campus
day contests have been tentatively
announced as being female faculty
members. -i
Establishing a precedent^ the as­sembly
committee is offering $2.50
first prize for the best skit in the

Band Caravans
About County
Leaving by caravan early Friday
morning, members of the WWC
band and string ensemble, under
the direction of Donald Bushell,
visited the high schools of the
county arid "appeared "in concert at'
Ferndale, Lynden, and Sumas-Nook-sack.
Breaking into the monotony of.
the day,. Robert Moblo's faithful
Model A conveniently refused to
budge and it was only through the
efforts of Bushell's front bumper
that the entire band performed at
Lynden.
Lynden further proved to be the
jinx of the trip when Don Bushell
walked off, minus his hat, from the
local cafe. P. S.—They sent it to
him.
Appearances in the near future
scheduled for the band will include
a Mother's day program at Larra-bee
State park, an assembly pro­gram,
and participation in the May
day carnival. *" v

WWC Students Shove Off for Victoria
On Annua] Excursion Saturday
Twenty-four lucky students are taking the annual spring trip, to the
observatory in Victoria, B. C., said Miss Ruth Piatt.
Surrounded by a bevy of students mounting spring plants gathered for
various science classes, Miss Piatt enthusiastically spoke of what she
termed, "the very lovely Victoria trip." A full program has been planned
which will not only be educational but pleasurable as well. The real in­centive
for the trip will be the visit to the observatory which includes a.
first-hand view of the telescope, housed there, one of the eight largest in
the world,, a demonstration of research work by the astronomers, arid
the showing of a selection of slides. The library, containing an exhibit
of astronomical photographs, also will be visited.
Although the observatory has been rumored to be closed, the Science
department has received word that it is open and in readiness for the
'group. V ,-.
The trip will begin at 7 o'clock, Saturday, and will-be by automobile to
Anacortes where the ferry trek to Sidney begins. From Sidney, the trip;
will extend along a beautiful shore drive to Victoria. Before the stars
come out, Saturday evening, the group will visit the Empress hotel and
the Parliament house of the province of British Columbia. Observations
; at the obsevatory will last as long as the observers can keep awake. The:
typical English quietness of Victoria will probably be disturbed Sunday!
morning by. the science group on their way to the famed and beautiftfl
Butchart Sunken Gardens and to Beacon Hill park.: The group will reach
Sidney in time for lunch and will then embark -twvifte^*ei!^
