To the various new en-
-roUees at ye olde kollege
of knowledge we extend our
heartiest .hello and wel­come.
Take off your coat,
remove your hat and ab­sorb
a few of the gems of
wisdom that occasionally
pass through our portals.
College life shouldn't be all
hard work . . . confiden­tially,
it is the social life
t h a t keeps most of us
around here anyway. At
least that is the opinion
of various faculty members
denly went beserk l a st
judgment day. So have
fun . . . meet people . . .
study, too . . . but have
fun.

Some d e e p philosophy
was evident in one comic
strip over the holidays. One
leading character asked his
s p o u s e and offspring if
Santa had moved his resi­dence
from the north pole
to Fort Knox . . . We won­dered
too . . .
* * *
ON TAP . . . TONIGHT
. A barrel full of pair-excellent
basketball when
the WWVikings pull a few
whiskers from the Central
W a s h i n g t o n Wildcat's
highly touted nose. We
aren't doing much predict­ing
on this season opener
. . . but, if Big Mac's sup­ply
of catnip arrives in
time we will venture that
the cat will be unduly in­fluenced
into defeat.

Local photographers are
burning the midnight dark
room light this week in an
effort to finish all March

student caught bookmaking
on this embyro contest will
be forced to turn his loot
over to the Infantile Pa­ralysis
fund also.

Registration Still Climbing Campus^Schod Begins
~ — — — — Winter Quarter Plans
Over 1,1 OO Now Registered; Swiss Style Mermaids
Vet Enrollment Increases
Tentative winter quarter registration figures released by Donald Ferris,
registrar, indicate that WWC's rejuvenated courses have lost none of their
attractiveness to educational minded students throughout the northwest.
With 1,100 paid subscribers to the college's winter quarter edition al­ready
on the books, and more arriving daily, registrar officials were un­willing
to venture that the record shattering enrollment of 1202 for fall
quarter will be reached before reg­istration
ceases, but indicated that
the percentage in the usual quarter­ly
drop-off was lower than in pre­vious
years.
Seventy-five new students have
entered WWC to date. Students per­suing
teachers certificates are hold­ing
their own this quarter. See page
1 for the story on these enrollees.
Teacher training candidates have
shown a steady increase since the
1947 legislatures liberalizing acts.
Vet Enrollment Up
In spite of statewide news releases
stating that over fifty per cent cf
the veterans previously enrolled un­der
the G. I. bill (college and on-the-
job training) had ceased train­ing,
WWC's veteran enrollment has
increased. 480 vets are now attend­ing
as compared with Fall quarter's
452.
More Data Later
More complete breakdown figures
by departments will be released at
the end of the two weeks registration
period. '
Shuksan Club Plan
Mountain Jaunt
With all eyes watching the skies
for signs of good weather, the Ski
club will leave Saturday for the
snowy hills of Mt. Baker. This de­cision
was reached by approximately
forty members that attended the
meeting held last Wednesday.
It was also decided that an all out
effort will be made to secure the
Ski club emblems that are now in
Seattle. Bob Sarvis, of the WWC
Ski shop, will accept dues and
money that is needed for securing
these emblems.
Girls Receive Invitation
. Miss Muffley announced that the
University of Washington is invit­ing
girls from various colleges in
Washington to attend a ski meet to
be held January 15 at the Milwaukee
ski bowl. All girls interested are
urged to see her.
Overnight Trip Planned
Bill Radcliffe, president of the
Ski club, hopes that more students
will take advantage of these iski
trips. He stated, "We have had bad
luck getting started but with two
more trips planned for this month
and with an over-night trip sched­uled
for the end of the month, we
will really be underway."
Student Service
Funds Needed
Speaking before a small group of
faculty members and interested stu­dents
December 19. Bent Jorgenson,
a graduate of law from the Univer­sity
of Copenhagen who edited the
D a n i s h underground newspaper
"Free Press" during the war, stressed
the need for the World Student Ser­vice
Fund on whose behalf he ap­peared
at the College.
Explaining the functions of the
international student relief organi­zation,
Mr. Jorgenson pointed out
that although toe 19 different na­tionals
represented in the organi­zation
have different religious and
political idealogies, they work to­gether
to further international back­ground
and understanding.
Lutro Expects $1000
Margaret Lutro, past president of
the Blue Triangle, expressed the
hope that Western Washington Col­lege's
contribution this year would
total over $1,000. The service organ­ization
which aids students in war-torn
areas throughout the world,
hopes to gain $1,000,000 with which
to carry on its work.
'Biggest Little'
Contest Opens
What has been termed as the
"biggest little contest" in the his­tory
of beauty contests will be ex­posed
next week when portraits of
candidates entered in the March of
Dimes BABY REVUE are unveiled
on the main landing.
Between twenty and thirty stu­dent
couples have volunteered to
have their children entered in the
REVUE which will be WWC's means
of raising funds for the infantile
paralysis drive. Students will regis­ter
their choice of candidates by
depositing coins in the receptacles
provided under the child's picture.
The photos, taken through courtesy
of Jukes studio, will be loaned to
the committee which is headed by
Barbara Ritchie.
"Many beautiful gifts have been
donated by local merchants and
will be presented all contestants and
mothers during a late January as­sembly,"
Miss Ritchie revealed.
Simple rules stressed by""the" com­mittee
stated only that children
must be able to walk but not over
three years of age.
Studious Gals
Earn Break
Love lights will burn longer this
quarter for many of the freshman
class girls whose extra curricular
activities have heretofore been re­strained
by "frosh hours."
According to Miss Lorraine Pow­ers,
dean of women, freshmen wo­men
students whose over-all grade
point average for Fall quarter is
2.3 or over will be allowed to main­tain
the same hours as upper class
women. However, this plan will not
go into effect until later in the
quarter when a complete G. P. av­erage
list is released by the regis­trar's
office.
"This privilege is only for Winter
quarter," Miss Powers warned, "and
any student failing to keep her av­erage
of 2.3 will be denied the extra
hours for Spring quarter."
Health Examinations
Begin For Freshmen
"Every student is required to take
a health examination, on entering
college," announced Elmira Boothby,
college nurse. The purpose of this
formality is to form a basis for
maintaining the health of the stu­dents
and to help overcome physical
defects. The Nurse's office, is open
from 8 a. m. till 5 p. m., Mondays
through Fridays.
"Illness of a student must be re­ported
to the Nurse's office at once,"
explained Miss Boothby, "and the
student is required to renew his re­port
daily until he has recovered."
After recovering from the illness,
the student must report in person
to the Nurse's office before resum­ing
class attendance.

It takes more than the apparent bad fracture (apologies for photo­grapher
Craig) and few acrobatic tumbles in the snow to dampen the
spirits of Betty Sarvis and Jan Craig. Both feminine travelers, via the
Swiss method, are experts in the downhill game. This week's ski trip
to Mt. BakeVis the first all'college'ski trip'ofTne year. An overnight
trip is scheduled for late January.

Concerning Lounge
The Board of Control took definite action on the lounge issue in its

lounge manager and John Graham as his assistant, the Board decided
that certain repairs and additional fixtures would be granted to the lounge
and that it would reopen Monday, January 19, for student use.

Stearns Studies
Student Relief
Voting unanimously on two mat­ters,
the International Relations
club started the new off in its meet­ing
held Wednesday evening, Jan­uary
7. The club voted to become
a subsidiary member of the National
Study Association of the United Na­tions
organization and also elected
to aid in every way possible the
raising of funds for World Student
Relief. Keith Stearns was appointed
chairman bf a committee to study
methods of aiding this fund.
It was reported to the club that
the Inter-club Council had approved
of the new constitution permitting
twenty-five members. Following the
business 'meeting a film, "Pood,
Weapon of Peace," was shown to
the group. Discussion on aid to the
needy areas in the World was held
with debate centering on the ques­tion
of aid to China.
R.S.V.P.
All students new this quarter, freshmen or transfer students,
are required to take three introductory lessons in library instruction,
if you- fall into this group and have not registered for library in­struction,

been financially possible at this
time," declared Halldor Karason,
A.S.B. president.
Adjourning to the lounge for on-the-
spot consideration of the prob­lem,
the Board approved the ap­pointment
of a lounge redecorating
committee and appropriated ap­proximately
$400 for the purchase
of new equipment. Many suggestions
were made as to what improvements
should be made but definite action
was referred to the lounge commit­tee.
Student Rec Hours
The other matter dicsussed by the
governing body concerned the stu­dent
rec hour to be held in the
small junior high gym following
the basketball game with CWC Fri­day
night. La Verne Brockmier and
Nita Clothier were appointed to
serve as rec hour chairmen for the
winter quarter. Since the Friday
night mixer was without a sponsor,
it was decided to hold it under the
auspices of the Board.
