Speaking of newspapers and newspaper men—we were, weren't we?—last nite a certain group of people decided to tell me what was wrong with the WWCollegian. For about an hour six or seven up-perclassmen interrogated me. Why didn't we run this story that week and why didn't we run this one another week; why didn't the WWCollegian run a column like this and another one like that? I had an answer for everyone of them. Well, nearly everyone of them. (Honestly, I'm not bragging—just explaining— as if I should have to) I concluded the lopsided discussion with this little number, quote: I wish that every student in the school could visit the WWCollegian office and follow the writing, the make up, and all the other things that happen during the few days between Monday morning and Friday noon. So, here is an invitation to all to come and find out how your newspaper is published. By the way, maybe you'd better give us fair warning as to when you are coming. Another plug for us! George Boynton, ace WWCollegian humorist, swept all contestants, including several other Continued l\i picas due south. TRACK Winter wanes on Mount Baker. The total snow depth is down to 73 inches and fading fast, with a light rain and abetting the advent of spring. The wind is swinging southerly and the sky is overcast with California sunshine.

There is snow on the road for five miles east of Shuksan. The state highway department advises that chains be carried.

According to Brooke Temple, KVOS announcer, Brother Geo. won most of his points on answers relating to the funny papers. - What constitutes a dictatorship? It means a standing army of unprecedented strength.' It means the right to prohibit labor to demand what they consider their rights. It means the power to seize the chattels and possessions of other nations and hold them for future use under the vague excuse of sabotage. It means the right to risk the lives and mechanical equipment of a nation in an unnecessary foreign war. It means the curtailment of the time-honored privileges, nay rights of free men to free speech, free press, and the right of lawful assembly. It means, to sum it all up, what might happen, what is happening and what is going to happen to these free people, the citizens of the United States of America.

It really isn't the acme of all that is savory. This was only one form of punishment that was inflicted on the Collegian cub reporters last Friday at the Miller & Sutherlen print shop. After the feed (?) the cubSv were blindfolded and led down a corridor to a "kiss in the dark." As a finale each cub had a piece of adhesive put on his forehead with the words, "WWCollegian cub," on it. Along with the adhesive came the warning, "Don't remove this until 6 o'clock Saturday night-^-or else," as one was brave enough to remove the tape, only the veterans know what the "or else" meant. Cub reporters this quarter are: Fontelle King, Norma Palling, Constance Fjellman, Bernice Shellham-er, Lucille Allert, Orville Brownlee, Harry Kalsbeek, Edward Olson, Jim Rinehart, and John Dorcy.

Maurice McClellan, head of Campus day festivities:,, expressed the hope that alL committees would have their plans completed by May 5. In this way, the last week could ' then be used for finishing up details.? Discussion at the committee meeting included feasible transportation facilities to the Campus'day site, Lakewood, the renting c of" boats, and the pros and cons of the evening dance being held "oh. the tennis courts.' - I The traditional Whiskereenq, in; which the male contingent of the college gets a two-weeks rest from, the razor, was also discussed. It was the general opinion of the committeemen that - the beard-growing contest should be included in the events, in spite of the fact that the Valkyrie club is sponsoring a dance the Saturday before final judging. Drama Club Goes 'On The Road' v Play Will Be Shown WWC Studes After Hi School Tour of Neighboring Towns Drama takes to the road next week ' with Glenn Hughes' one-act play, "The Eve in Evelyn," under the sponsorship of the Drama club.

Then come more local high schools including Bellingham and a finishing up by presentation of the play in the as- , sembly at WWC. "The Eve in Evelyn" is the first in the series of projects to be carried out this quarter by the Drama club. Eileen Fry's student teaching, Paul Glenn's tennis, and Bill Leek's nightly practices at the Theatre guild have all been impediments in the progress of play practice. The play presents the elopement of Evelyn and Roger, played by Margaret Dwelle and Paul Glenn, with Evelyn's enraged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pratt (Art Brock and Eileen Fry) in pursuit. The trail leads to Twin Falls Inn where Innkeeper Sams (Bill Leek) tries to help the newlyweds. Directors for the play are Polly Ann Phillips and Rosemary Bolster. Ed Olsen is stage manager.

Board Rejects Invitation 'Shortage of Funds Prohibits Participation in Meeting To Be Held in San Francisco That WWC would not} bejrepre-sented at this year's annuat.Co-op-erative Bookstore convention was unanimously decided at the weekly Board of Control meeting Wednesday afternoon. It has been the custom in recent years for the manager of the WWC. Co-op to journey to the convention; but because of the distance of this year's meeting, to be. held in San Francisco, and because of the drop in enrollment, it is financially impossible for him to do so this spring.<•- Bernice Monson, chairman of the Co-op board, announced that al^- though the Co^op showed a profit of several hundred dollars fall quarter, the drop in enrollment and the usual spring slump would make all unnecessary expenditures prohibitive. Since last year the college bookT store has been run on a co-operative basis and any profits shown at the end of the school year will be apportioned to the students of WWC according to purchases shown by their sales slips. The final report on the Publications prom was presented to the board by Shirlee Cratsenberg at Wednesday's meeting. The report was accepted.

Speaking of newspapers and newspaper men—we were, weren't we?—last nite a certain group of people decided to tell me what was wrong with the WWCollegian. For about an hour six or seven up-perclassmen interrogated me. Why didn't we run this story that week and why didn't we run this one another week; why didn't the WWCollegian run a column like this and another one like that? I had an answer for everyone of them. Well, nearly everyone of them. (Honestly, I'm not bragging—just explaining— as if I should have to) I concluded the lopsided discussion with this little number, quote: I wish that every student in the school could visit the WWCollegian office and follow the writing, the make up, and all the other things that happen during the few days between Monday morning and Friday noon. So, here is an invitation to all to come and find out how your newspaper is published. By the way, maybe you'd better give us fair warning as to when you are coming. Another plug for us! George Boynton, ace WWCollegian humorist, swept all contestants, including several other Continued l\i picas due south. TRACK Winter wanes on Mount Baker. The total snow depth is down to 73 inches and fading fast, with a light rain and abetting the advent of spring. The wind is swinging southerly and the sky is overcast with California sunshine. The temperature is 42 with a maximum of 44 and a minimum of 34 degrees. The barometer is low with the hint of more unsettled weather in the next two days. There is snow on the road for five miles east of Shuksan. The state highway department advises that chains be carried.

It means a standing army of unprecedented strength.' It means the right to prohibit labor to demand what they consider their rights. It means the power to seize the chattels and possessions of other nations and hold them for future use under the vague excuse of sabotage. It means the right to risk the lives and mechanical equipment of a nation in an unnecessary foreign war. It means the curtailment of the time-honored privileges, nay rights of free men to free speech, free press, and the right of lawful assembly.

It really isn't the acme of all that is savory. This was only one form of punishment that was inflicted on the Collegian cub reporters last Friday at the Miller & Sutherlen print shop. After the feed (?) the cubSv were blindfolded and led down a corridor to a "kiss in the dark." As a finale each cub had a piece of adhesive put on his forehead with the words, "WWCollegian cub," on it. Along with the adhesive came the warning, "Don't remove this until 6 o'clock Saturday night-^-or else," as one was brave enough to remove the tape, only the veterans know what the "or else" meant. Cub reporters this quarter are: Fontelle King, Norma Palling, Constance Fjellman, Bernice Shellham-er, Lucille Allert, Orville Brownlee, Harry Kalsbeek, Edward Olson, Jim Rinehart, and John Dorcy.
