/ VOL. XXXVI—NO. W) WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, June 4, 1937 * Live And ^ Learn By Henry Francis What with all the last week's excitement and stviS can't decide whether I'm exh. . ^ted over the forthcoming vacation or depressed about those nightmarish ordeals that mark the day of reckoning. As long as we are living in the middle of a streamlined age it seems as though a little modernization of tests wouldn't be amiss. Ought to be very simple to remake the finals into snappy little numbers that could be breezed right through. HEEBIE JEEBIES Cornell university has bought a 100-acre farm to further its practice of producing' nervous breakdowns on pigs and goats. This is an innovation in the scientific world to find the cause and effects of nervous disorders. It may be new to science but the training school has been at it «nscientifically for quite some time; in lieu of goats, however, they have student teachers, or is there any difference? .Anyhow the results are the same. WOO IN A PEW Doc McKesver's brainchild, the Lovers' church, is going full blast down in Oklahoma City. They seem to have' a grand old time - pitching the woo around those stiff-backed benches. Wonder if the good Doctor is figuring on any of it sloshing around the pulpit? His latest hue and cry was raised in lampooning the school boards for not allowing what he calls "these beautiful motherly women" teachers to be married. Guess he didn't realize that they couldn't get a husband or they wouldn't be teaching. COPY CATS Uncle Sam,got more than he bargained for with the unconstitutional AAA, and it's not over yet. It took a couple years for the idea to sink in but the Brazilian government finally got it. Now they have de- Tided to make a bonfire out of 70 per cent of their coffel crop to keep us rich Americans (who drink half of it) from getting it too cheap. That, after inveigling the Secretary of Stale to leave coffee on the free list of imports. Wait till people start dunking their doughnuts in milk or something as distasteful, Brazil will find it's another matter to tamper with our religion; besides it was our idea, the old copy cats. „ ON CONSISTENCY A staunch friend of the rubber stamp industry rose up in righteous indignation and stamped his foot down not long ago. The reason for his wrath was that well known term, "rubber stamp congress," as applied to our present solons. Here are the pros and cons in a nutshell. Rubber stamps and congressmen Are very wear resistant; Bat congressmen flit to and fro While stamps are so consistent. SWEET AND SHY Guess everyone had Wallis Simpson , Windsor all wrong, at least that's what a "we're just sisters under the skin," female newspaper correspondent '•• writes from Prance. Shown up in her true lights at last, it reveals her as just a little home body who really hates all this terrible publicity. Wally, according to the journalist, hasn't had a decent thing to wear in ages and ages and just because she orders two or three simple little things all the old meanies in town started tush, tushing at her extravagance. Probably true. All it needs now to make it perfect is to hear her explaining to the Duke how her other husbands misunderstood the poor little girl. RESTING Spent a couple of hours trying to find a position in a library chair so I could rest and study simultaneously but had to gbe up. If I rested I could'nl study and if I studied I coudn't rest—so I rested. That wasn't too good though. Suppose these chairs weren't made for rest-ingi so have to go find a bed. See you next fall. Board Elects Officers In Final Session Summer Recreation Program Varied; Main Features Include Cruises, Hikes, Picnics, Sports Closed Week Again Viking Positions Filled Soupkup, Hinchcliffe Selected New Editors; Band Uniforms To Be Purchased An intensive session of business concerning fulfillment of positions on the school paper, passage of the budget, and publication of the Blue Book marked the final spring quarter Board of Control meeting last Wednesday. Appointments were made for editor and business manager of the Western Viking for summer and fall quarters. Sele'ctions were as follows: summer quarter, Sybil Hinchliffe, editor; Rex Rolle, business manager; fall quarter, Clarence Soukup,' editor; Earl Eckert, business manager. BUDGET PASSED Appointment of similar positions on the 1938 Klipsun was deferred until next fall.. The Board voted final passage of the budget for the coming fiscal year in which was included an appropriation of funds for the purchase of band uniforms.. Florence Lund was granted the editorship of the Blue Book for the second successive year.. Miss Lund promised that several changes would be made in the publication. NEIL REPORTS A report on Campus day was submitted by Ralph Neil, chairman of the event. Neil suggested that henceforth Campus day be always held late in May. As President Don Zylstra will not be attending school this summer, he was granted a leave of absence until the fall quarter. It was announced at the adjournment of the meeting that the Board of Control picnic will be held this evening at Lakewood. o Funds Granted for Athletic Field President Fisher announced Wednesday that Governor Martin had honored a request for $3000.00 from the WWC trustees to finish the new athletic field. Work on the new field has been progressing slowly, since the project is large and only two men have been employed to level the top soil. The new appropriation- is expected to make it possible to have the job completed by next fall. Since the site of the field was once a swamp, the black top soil sank in many places the last year, necessitating the leveling process. Although much dirt is being trimmed from the sides and higher levels of the field and dumped into the hollows, it will be necessary to haul many additional yards of soil to put the field in suitable condition for seeding. W*»en completed the new athletic field, together with the new gymnasium, will give WWC one of the finest athletic departments in the state. The football and baseball fields will be separate and present plans call for three new tennis courts just back of the gymnasium. When plans are completed, provisions will be made for minor and intramural sports as well. o Boat trips, play hours, hikes, picnics, water sports, and excursions constitute the summer recreational program.. The expense of this program has been fixed at the lowest possible cost with the hope that it will be within the reach of every student First on the program comes the 8 miles climb up Chuckanut ridge on June 19. All students wishing to climb Skyline ridge on the following Saturday, June 26, must practice on this one. On June 22 there will be an all school picnic and salmon bake at the Rocks Tuesday, June 29, everyone is invited to go for a swim at Toad lake, which is accessible by streetcar. July 6, is the date of another streetcar excursion to Whatcom Falls park. VISIT VICTORIA The main excursion of the summer, that to Victoria, will be held on Saturday, July 10. A CPR boat has been engaged for this trip. The price will be $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children under twelve. July 13, |.here is to be a supper at Galbraith's lumber camp, with a hike along the new Samish highway. The week-end Mount Baker trip will be on July 16, 17, and 18, the round trip costing about $4.00.. There will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. C, to visit the Beleek shop, linen shops, Chinatown, and Stanley Park and continue on £o Horseshoe Bay. The fare will be around $1.00.. LOCAL MILLS ON LIST On July there will be an inspect tion trip to the Bellingham Pulp and Paper mills which will take two hours. The" trip to Skagit over Saturday and Sunday is an unexcelled trip on up to Rockport to the hydroelectric station. This will cost about $2.50, and will be held on July 24 and 25. This completes the schedule for the first term. The second term starts out with a trip to Hannegan pass July 30 and 31 which will cost about $3.50. Next will be the sailing trip to Cypress island, an evening sail on August 3. The climb up Mount Constitution will be held August 7. The All School picnic at Lakewood will come on August 10. This term closes .with an excursion to Friday Harbor to visit the Oceanographic station, a trip costing about $1.00. Medical examination will be required of all hikers.. Klipsun Released Tuesday, 7, Thon Announces Margaret Thon, editor of the Klipsun, has set the date for its release. Annual Klipsuns will be ready for all students on Tuesday, June 8, at the associated students office. "Come early and avoid the rush," is Tony's parting advice. By delaying the Klipsun a few days a page of Campus day snapshots could be included. These.will add humor to the book. KLIPSUN MAKEUP NEW Klipsun staff members have worked to complete 96 pages of school life. This includes their specialty of eight pages of candid campus shots. The makeup will be different from any that has been used in former Klipsuns, Editor Thon tells of the mystery connected. The theme and cover of the book will be revealed when Tuesday arrives for the annual's release. RUMMAGE SALE ANNOUNCED This year a rummage sale will be sponsored by the Klipsun staff to sell all snap shots which were taken for the Klipsun. A very small fee permits them to be carried away. Photography expenses will be paid out of the funds made. All men's and women's sports, clubs, snapshots, and class pictures will be sold at 10 and 25 cents. 0-, Hot Little Girls Return Slowly From Sunset Prexy Commends Cooperation of Students, Faculty Assemblies Make Fine Record; PE Building Great Asset Different Examination Schedule Tried Out "Oh, I . really would just o-o-o-ve to go, but, gee, it's impossible! This is closed week." Apologetic gushings similar to this will be in order starting this evening and continuing until Monday as the dread zero hour approaches when quarter exams are given to WWC students, and evenings are devoted to sweating knowledge from books instead of perspiration from dancers. The examination schedule adopted for this quarter avoids the possibility of two successive tests for any one student. Any heavy tests loads are to be reported to Miss Cummins for revision. Classes meeting at nine, eleven, and two o'clock receive their tests on Wednesday; classes meeting eight, ten, one, and three o'clock get theirs on Tuesday. School corridors are expected to be barren^ of bustling students the latter portion of next week, as practically all work for the quarter will be concluded by Wednesday afternoon with the exception of about a half dozen classes held over until Friday. Grads Prepare For 1937 Commencement Alumni Program Next Baccalaureate Services Next Sunday; Followed by Faculty Reception; Kenna Officiates Jeanne Richards Cops Scholarship Award Goodbye kids. This year's winner oi>the scholastic award for the freshman class is Jeanne Richards. Since 1931 this has been an annual custom for the third quarter freshman with the highest scholastic standard. The winner is presented with a silver cup with her name and the year engraved upon it. "It was a complete surprise to me, as I never dreamed of getting any award," Miss Richards exclaimed. Miss Richards graduated from Bellview high school in Seattle last year. She is 19 years old, has brown hair and blue eyes. Her ambition is to be a primary teacher, although all her time is not devoted to studying. "My favorite hobby is photography," she explained with an infectious laugh. Among her other outside activities are the Glee club, Vanadis Bragi, and the Newman club. Hot, a little sun-burned, and very tired, 15 Blue Triangle club members and their guests plodded slowly homeward last Tuesday, apparently in a happy mood as the result of an evening picnic on Sunset Heights. The picnic, which was entirely a social gathering, was the final Blue Triangle meeting of this quarter and climaxed a quarter full of numerous activities. No business was discussed and some members sat around talking together informally while others engaged in a peppy game of baseball. All of the girls gathered around a large open bonfire and roasted weiners, while the club's special dessert, made of oranges and peppermint sticks, topped off the outdoor menu. Florence Johnson and Ruth-Piatt were the faculty advisors for the affair. __c- Bright Mountain Goat; Deserts Track Wars "I think it has been an unusually fine and active year," President Fisher said Wednesday in commenting on the past school year. "Also an outstanding one," he continued, "in respect to the close cooperation between the faculty,, students, and administration of the school. In the comprehensive exams, which were in the nature of an experiment, the faculty feels that they received all the cooperation that could possibly be desired from the students." GOOD RECORD In regard to the past year's assemblies,, President Fisher stated that he thought there had been a better record made with them than has been made in a long time.. It was learned that the faculty had voted overwhelmingly for continuation of the faculty chats on a more informal and social basis, with the students expressing what subjects they wanted discussed and by whom.. P. E. BUILDING ASSET "We've used the new PE building since November," President Fisher said,, "and I think both the faculty and students have gotten a great deal of pleasure from it. It is a great asset to the college as a whole and we wonder now how we could have gotten along without it. So far, from our experience with it we have found no shortcomings in the plan of the building." President Fisher also stated that he expected the new bleachers and lockers to be in by fall and that the new athletic field would then be completed and ready for use. Norman Bright, former WWC track star and present holder of the American indoor and outdoor records for the 5000 meter run, will be one of the party of four young men who will attempt to climb the unsealed heights of Mt. Lucania in the Yukon territory early1 this summer. The party, led by Bradford Washburn, America's number 1 junior explorer, will leave Saturday, June 5.

The reason for his wrath was that well known term, "rubber stamp congress," as applied to our present solons. Here are the pros and cons in a nutshell. Rubber stamps and congressmen Are very wear resistant; Bat congressmen flit to and fro While stamps are so consistent.

Probably true. All it needs now to make it perfect is to hear her explaining to the Duke how her other husbands misunderstood the poor little girl. RESTING Spent a couple of hours trying to find a position in a library chair so I could rest and study simultaneously but had to gbe up. If I rested I could'nl study and if I studied I coudn't rest—so I rested. That wasn't too good though. Suppose these chairs weren't made for rest-ingi so have to go find a bed. See you next fall. Board Elects Officers In Final Session Summer Recreation Program Varied; Main Features Include Cruises, Hikes, Picnics, Sports Closed Week Again Viking Positions Filled Soupkup, Hinchcliffe Selected New Editors; Band Uniforms To Be Purchased An intensive session of business concerning fulfillment of positions on the school paper, passage of the budget, and publication of the Blue Book marked the final spring quarter Board of Control meeting last Wednesday. Appointments were made for editor and business manager of the Western Viking for summer and fall quarters. Sele'ctions were as follows: summer quarter, Sybil Hinchliffe, editor; Rex Rolle, business manager; fall quarter, Clarence Soukup,' editor; Earl Eckert, business manager. BUDGET PASSED Appointment of similar positions on the 1938 Klipsun was deferred until next fall.. The Board voted final passage of the budget for the coming fiscal year in which was included an appropriation of funds for the purchase of band uniforms.. Florence Lund was granted the editorship of the Blue Book for the second successive year.. Miss Lund promised that several changes would be made in the publication. NEIL REPORTS A report on Campus day was submitted by Ralph Neil, chairman of the event. Neil suggested that henceforth Campus day be always held late in May. As President Don Zylstra will not be attending school this summer, he was granted a leave of absence until the fall quarter. It was announced at the adjournment of the meeting that the Board of Control picnic will be held this evening at Lakewood. o Funds Granted for Athletic Field President Fisher announced Wednesday that Governor Martin had honored a request for $3000.00 from the WWC trustees to finish the new athletic field. Work on the new field has been progressing slowly, since the project is large and only two men have been employed to level the top soil. The new appropriation- is expected to make it possible to have the job completed by next fall. Since the site of the field was once a swamp, the black top soil sank in many places the last year, necessitating the leveling process. Although much dirt is being trimmed from the sides and higher levels of the field and dumped into the hollows, it will be necessary to haul many additional yards of soil to put the field in suitable condition for seeding. W*»en completed the new athletic field, together with the new gymnasium, will give WWC one of the finest athletic departments in the state. The football and baseball fields will be separate and present plans call for three new tennis courts just back of the gymnasium.

This is closed week." Apologetic gushings similar to this will be in order starting this evening and continuing until Monday as the dread zero hour approaches when quarter exams are given to WWC students, and evenings are devoted to sweating knowledge from books instead of perspiration from dancers. The examination schedule adopted for this quarter avoids the possibility of two successive tests for any one student. Any heavy tests loads are to be reported to Miss Cummins for revision. Classes meeting at nine, eleven, and two o'clock receive their tests on Wednesday; classes meeting eight, ten, one, and three o'clock get theirs on Tuesday. School corridors are expected to be barren^ of bustling students the latter portion of next week, as practically all work for the quarter will be concluded by Wednesday afternoon with the exception of about a half dozen classes held over until Friday. Grads Prepare For 1937 Commencement Alumni Program Next Baccalaureate Services Next Sunday; Followed by Faculty Reception; Kenna Officiates Jeanne Richards Cops Scholarship Award Goodbye kids. This year's winner oi>the scholastic award for the freshman class is Jeanne Richards. Since 1931 this has been an annual custom for the third quarter freshman with the highest scholastic standard. The winner is presented with a silver cup with her name and the year engraved upon it. "It was a complete surprise to me, as I never dreamed of getting any award," Miss Richards exclaimed. Miss Richards graduated from Bellview high school in Seattle last year. She is 19 years old, has brown hair and blue eyes. Her ambition is to be a primary teacher, although all her time is not devoted to studying. "My favorite hobby is photography," she explained with an infectious laugh. Among her other outside activities are the Glee club, Vanadis Bragi, and the Newman club. Hot, a little sun-burned, and very tired, 15 Blue Triangle club members and their guests plodded slowly homeward last Tuesday, apparently in a happy mood as the result of an evening picnic on Sunset Heights. The picnic, which was entirely a social gathering, was the final Blue Triangle meeting of this quarter and climaxed a quarter full of numerous activities. No business was discussed and some members sat around talking together informally while others engaged in a peppy game of baseball. All of the girls gathered around a large open bonfire and roasted weiners, while the club's special dessert, made of oranges and peppermint sticks, topped off the outdoor menu. Florence Johnson and Ruth-Piatt were the faculty advisors for the affair. __c- Bright Mountain Goat; Deserts Track Wars "I think it has been an unusually fine and active year," President Fisher said Wednesday in commenting on the past school year. "Also an outstanding one," he continued, "in respect to the close cooperation between the faculty,, students, and administration of the school. In the comprehensive exams, which were in the nature of an experiment, the faculty feels that they received all the cooperation that could possibly be desired from the students." GOOD RECORD In regard to the past year's assemblies,, President Fisher stated that he thought there had been a better record made with them than has been made in a long time.. It was learned that the faculty had voted overwhelmingly for continuation of the faculty chats on a more informal and social basis, with the students expressing what subjects they wanted discussed and by whom.. P. E. BUILDING ASSET "We've used the new PE building since November," President Fisher said,, "and I think both the faculty and students have gotten a great deal of pleasure from it. It is a great asset to the college as a whole and we wonder now how we could have gotten along without it. So far, from our experience with it we have found no shortcomings in the plan of the building." President Fisher also stated that he expected the new bleachers and lockers to be in by fall and that the new athletic field would then be completed and ready for use. Norman Bright, former WWC track star and present holder of the American indoor and outdoor records for the 5000 meter run, will be one of the party of four young men who will attempt to climb the unsealed heights of Mt.
