Vol. XLVI— No. 19 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, February 20, 1948 Vein s . . . . . . Dale Candidates Selected; General Wednesday 8AME SONG . . . SAME VERSE . . . only DIFFERENT TUNE . . . For years and years news reporters a n d interested students have butted their heads up against the solid wall of indifference erected by other students as assurance t h a t nothing but choice bits of gossip or o t h e r minor trivialities should manage to eke into their vacuumized spheres of influence. The boundaries of said isolated area including only two ears top of the head, and chin. This election week once again their assurances paid off Not a thought s e e p ed through the hard packed pores of 95a students concerning Wednesday's election. Simultaneous with this announcement we see jubilant headlines in the New York Daily Worker, official Communist organ, broadcasting the victory of third party supported Leo Isacson from the Bronx 24th district to Congress. Isaacson polled more votes than his three opponents combined. One stupid remark picked up last week to the effect that ". . . the polls are so crooked anyway and anyone can control the election . . . so why should I concern myself with voting . . . " only illustrates too well the basic reason for Isacson's easy victory His w o r k e r s and supporters made sure that every member of his party put in an appearance at the polls. They were willing to go to a little extra work and thought in order to get the vote out. The other two staid, stable parties were content to let come what may, and to rest on their laurels. They like un-inter-ested WWC students will be resting on something besides their laurels unless they shake off the mental lethargy that is becoming ingrained in their systems. Habits picked up in college days are top easily and too often carried into later life. Make regular voting habits one of your regular habits. But why waste paper, time, ribbon, printer's efforts and space for something that is of no value or interest to three-fourths of the student body anyway. Go on . . . turn the page to the gossip columns . . . Candidates Are Selected As General Nears Arlene Swanson, Bessie James and Betty McLeod were chosen as candidates for the office of four quarter woman and Gus Pagels, Jerry Karnofski, Bob Bain and Rosemary Provost were selected as candidates for four quarter man and woman in Wednesday's primary election for Board of Control offices. The vote was described as being very small by election officials, since only 292 students from an enrollment of nearly 1200 cast their ballots. The largest vote for any one candidate was 69. Because there was a tie vote for the third place in the four quarter man or woman position, the names of four candidates will appear on the ballot for that office in the general election to be held Wednesday, February 25. A student assembly was held Tuesday morning' to introduce the nominees to the student body. The attendance at this assembly was estimated by observers to be between 80 and 100. Nominees eliminated in Wednesday's voting for four quarter woman were: Berdell Smith, Beverlee Burn-aby, Esther Mjoen, Barbara Mcln-nes, Harriet Lang, Ruth Sodcrstrom and Ann Theg. Jim Beasley, Margery Traulsen, Dorothy McLane, J. Wendel' Brown and LaVerne Brockmier were defeated in the race for the four quarter man or woman office. Field Trip Planned By Shutter Fiends A field trip to Mount Baker is planned by the Camera club for February 29. The cost for transportation will be $2.00 if 25 people sign to go. Coffee will be furnished by the club, but all those going must bring their own lunch. , Camera club members and others desiring to go are asked to contact Merle Bunn in the Camera club darkroom (off the lounge entry way> before February 24. At the last Camera club meeting E. I. Jacobson, of the Jacobson studios, discussed portrait lighting and different kinds of light. Talks of this kind are planned for other meetings this year. Election Lacks Spirit Of Yesteryear Last Wednesday's polling booth had a deserted look in comparison with last spring's heated ASB election, pictured above. Some of the students who are shown crowding into that presidential slugfest failed to vote in Wednesday's primary. However, it is expected that Don Brown, 1947 election officer, Tom Orphan, Glenn Wolf, Roma Still, Ruth Vandenberg and Dave Quam will be on hand to exercise their franchise in the coming general election. Band Performs For Schools WWC's 55-piece band is scheduled for guest appearances at Mount Vernon and Burlington High school student assemblies on March 3, ac-carding to plans announced recently by director Don C. Walter. Traveling by bus the band will spend the morning and lunch hour at Mount Vernon, journeying to Burlington for the afternoon. Walter will precede the group to Mount Vernon where he will conduct a rehearsal of the high school band before the college band appearance. Final rehearsals for the trip are now taking place with a variety of band and some specialty numbers included on the tentative program. This is the first year that the WWC band has participated in tours of this type. It is hoped that the band will be able to give concerts at high schools throughout the state later in the quarter.

State Colleges Sponsor New Literary Publication Soon A new, state-wide, literary magazine, sponsored by 16 leading colleges in the State of Washington will be launched this April, according to a report of the organizing committee. The 1948 issue, a trial balloon to test the interest in a magazine of this type, will appear as a forty page mimeographed publication. The organizing committee, composed of Dr. M. F. Cederstrom, and J. H. O'Brien of WWC; and Mark Harris and Grant Redford of the University of Washington, queried all colleges in the state last fail to determine . f*f r\ I A I interest in this venture. The sixteen I \ \ \ ^ L / 6 l 6 Q d C 6 S A SK colleges participating are: Gonzaga — . —. . . University, College of Puget Sound, I T i p r © r m i S S I O fl Wenatchee Junior College, Olympia ->> f* •• *% Junior College, St. Martin's College, I o College Congress Everett Junior College, Pacific Lutheran College, Eastern Washington College, Walla Walla College, Lower Columbia Junior College, Washington State College, Mt. Vernon Junior College, Clark Junior College, Grays Harbor College, the University of Washington, and Western Washington College. Selecting the short s';ories, essays, and poetry has been delegated to three colleges: College of Puget Sound, Everett Junior College, and Western Washington College. According to present arrangements, each school may submit three prose manuscripts and six poems. These will be shipped in triplicate to Harris at the University of Washington, who will distribute a copy of the entries to the editing schools. The name of the writer and his college will not be known to those making the selections. Writer Editors to Edit At Bellingham, this editing committee will consist of the present Continued on Page Three. If Bob Ingersoll and Gorden San-stad are approved as delegates to the Pacific Northwest College congress to be held on the Whitman college campus March 3-6, they will hear Charles Leigh Wheeler, guest speaker who is the executive vice-president of the McCormack Steamship company. The International Relations club elected the two representatives at an earlier meeting, but the appointment is subject to the approval of the Board of Control. Sixteen colleges have notified Whitwbrth college of their intention to send delegates. Rcc Hour to be Attempted Many methods of raising funds for the World Student Service fund were discussed by the club at a meeting held Wednesday, February 18. It was decided that an attempt would be made to sponsor a rec hour in the near future. Following the business meeting, the group witnessed a film concerning the monetary situation in the United States. Geo. Washington's Birthday Monday; Students Vacation In observance of Washington's birthday no classes will be scheduled for WWC Monday, February 23. Minor changes will be in effect in the dining rooms of campus residence, halls. Only two meals will be served daily. Breakfast will be at 10:00 a, m., and dinner will be served at 5:00 p. m. These hours will be in effect for Saturday, Sunday and Monday only. Library hours will be from 2 until 6 p. m., on Saturday and Sunday. The Library will be closed all day Monday. Board of Control To Erect Bulletin As Stimulus For Voters Results of the primary election left Arlene Swanson, Bessie James, and Betty McLeod as candidates for the four quarter position and Gus Pagels, Jerry Karnofski, Bob Bain and Rosemary Provost as candidates for the four quarter man or woman position. Because of lack ol interest shown in the primary, the Board of Control, meeting February 18, discussed ways of turning out a larger vote in the general election. Out of a possible 1200 votes, 292 students exercised their democratic rights and voted, thus giving a percentage of approximately 25 per cent having voted. The Board decided to erect a bulletin containing the pictures and platform of each candidate in the main hall. The point was made that with a small turnout, it would be compar- , atively simple for'an otherwise minority group to elect the candidate of its choice. A concerted effort will be made to create student interest in the'general election to b& held next Wednesday. Skiing; Topic Renewed Skiing reared its head again with the revelation that the Shussken Ski club had not been the instigator of the ski team petition. .It was pointed out that the club has only fifteen members and there is no apparent interest in it. The question was immediately raised, "If the college cannot support an active ski club—can it support a ski team?" , A suggestion was made that perhaps skiing as a recreational sport could be subsidized by the Board. Instead of the $2 round trip fare to Mount Baker, the suggestion called for the Board to pay one-half of the cost for one bus each weekend during the season. 1,158 Enroll In Day Classes According to figures released this week by Donald A. Ferris, registrar, 1,439 students are regularly enrolled for standard residence credits during the present quarter here at Western Washington College. Of the 1,158 students taking their college work in the daytime classes, 492 "fire veterans; 251 are men in other classifications; and 415 are women. On the campus for evening classes are 281 students, many of whom are earning college credits after a day's work in business, industry or teaching. A number of enrollees drive from 10 to 60 miles to take advantage of the evening offerings in audio-visual work, sociology, literature, photography, and mental hygiene. The evening courses are equivalent in every respect to the traditional daytime class work, with the same instructors, credits, and general standards. Election Ready For Students; Speakers Announce Platforms By LAVERNE BROCKMIER Wednesday, February 28, is the date for the final election of officers for the Board of Control. A student assembly is planned for Tuesday, February 27, at 10 a. m., so students may hear the campaign speeches of the candidates. To help acquaint voters with the students who have been selected for this final balloting, each one was asked for a statement about the nomination. These interviews revealed the following information; ARLENE SWANSON, a junior from Bellingham, is a graduate of. Mount Baker high school. She has been active in school affairs in her three years at WWC and has held the offices of vice-president in the Valkyrie and AWS clubs. She said, "I wish to thank those who have nominated me and, if elected/ I will be always willing to bring up your problems before the Board and thus fulfill the confidence you have shown in me." 1 i 1 ' BOB BAIN, a World War II veteran, who is following a teaching cur- ' riculum, expressed his thanks for the nomination.

' 1 1 i ROSEMARY PROVOST, a third quarter freshman f rom JSellingham stated in an interview that she would like to see a more liberal Board of Control. "I think the Board should be more closely united with title student body," she said.

She is the editor of the '48 Klipsun and has held several responsible positions since, her entrance here in 1946. Miss McLeod stated, "I guess every Board "hopeful" has world-shaking plans and so are mine—a total school program that will more closely fit the needs of a changed and somewhat older student body—not just the "Royal Minority.''; The president of scholarship society, GUERD ..?G!US? ;jPAfSEI.S,^said that he realized the office he had been nominated for is/a ivery•• responsible position. "I am doing my best to acquaint myself tnroroughly with all the problems before the Board at present and those that are likely to' occur in the future. If I am elected I will try to fulfill all- myS duties Conscientiously " promised Pagels. ; -" • • . 1 1 1 •'-: ":''•'./•.• "..•-;' A veteran of the Air Corps, JERRY KARNOFSKI, comes ffbm^ Long-view, Washington.

Rcc Hour to be Attempted Many methods of raising funds for the World Student Service fund were discussed by the club at a meeting held Wednesday, February 18. It was decided that an attempt would be made to sponsor a rec hour in the near future. Following the business meeting, the group witnessed a film concerning the monetary situation in the United States. Geo. Washington's Birthday Monday; Students Vacation In observance of Washington's birthday no classes will be scheduled for WWC Monday, February 23. Minor changes will be in effect in the dining rooms of campus residence, halls. Only two meals will be served daily. Breakfast will be at 10:00 a, m., and dinner will be served at 5:00 p. m. These hours will be in effect for Saturday, Sunday and Monday only. Library hours will be from 2 until 6 p. m., on Saturday and Sunday. The Library will be closed all day Monday. Board of Control To Erect Bulletin As Stimulus For Voters Results of the primary election left Arlene Swanson, Bessie James, and Betty McLeod as candidates for the four quarter position and Gus Pagels, Jerry Karnofski, Bob Bain and Rosemary Provost as candidates for the four quarter man or woman position. Because of lack ol interest shown in the primary, the Board of Control, meeting February 18, discussed ways of turning out a larger vote in the general election. Out of a possible 1200 votes, 292 students exercised their democratic rights and voted, thus giving a percentage of approximately 25 per cent having voted. The Board decided to erect a bulletin containing the pictures and platform of each candidate in the main hall. The point was made that with a small turnout, it would be compar- , atively simple for'an otherwise minority group to elect the candidate of its choice. A concerted effort will be made to create student interest in the'general election to b& held next Wednesday. Skiing; Topic Renewed Skiing reared its head again with the revelation that the Shussken Ski club had not been the instigator of the ski team petition. .It was pointed out that the club has only fifteen members and there is no apparent interest in it. The question was immediately raised, "If the college cannot support an active ski club—can it support a ski team?" , A suggestion was made that perhaps skiing as a recreational sport could be subsidized by the Board. Instead of the $2 round trip fare to Mount Baker, the suggestion called for the Board to pay one-half of the cost for one bus each weekend during the season. 1,158 Enroll In Day Classes According to figures released this week by Donald A. Ferris, registrar, 1,439 students are regularly enrolled for standard residence credits during the present quarter here at Western Washington College. Of the 1,158 students taking their college work in the daytime classes, 492 "fire veterans; 251 are men in other classifications; and 415 are women. On the campus for evening classes are 281 students, many of whom are earning college credits after a day's work in business, industry or teaching. A number of enrollees drive from 10 to 60 miles to take advantage of the evening offerings in audio-visual work, sociology, literature, photography, and mental hygiene. The evening courses are equivalent in every respect to the traditional daytime class work, with the same instructors, credits, and general standards.
