meet Monday at 8 p. m. in
the Bellingham high band-room
to discuss plans for a
class reunion. There will be
no class renuion of the

Vern Dale knows about . . .
unless he has a private one.

There is always some­thing
doing during CAM­PUS
DAY.
EXCLUSIVE: Only 25
more shopping days remain
before graduation presents
are appropriate.
If all of the college pro­fessors
in the world were
lined up side by side . . •
gad, what a terrible sight!
Vern Dale doesn't know
about the rest of the MRH
residents but if they think
that they are g o i n g to
move women into the hall
for summer quarter . . .
and move him out, they
have another think com­ing.
He will contest his
eviction most wolfishly on
the grounds of preemption,
squatters rights, possession,
segregation, h o m e s t e ad
rights, and even on h is
constitutional rights which
specifically state that you
cannot quarter troops in a
person's home without his
approval. He doesn't dis­approve,
however, as long
as it is a reciprocal agree­ment
. . . move some out,
and some in.

ASB Prexy Reports Western
Athletic Budget is Highest
Investigation of Co-op prices was discussed by Board of Control mem­bers
meeting Wednesday, May 12. The Board resolved that the student
cooperative should be a service feature to its student owners and operate
on the lowest possible margin of profit consistent with safety.
The Facilities committee reported that it was endeavoring to secure
the use of the stairway into the lounge and that any equipment placed in
the lounge would be of a temporary
quality because the administration
wants the coffee shop in the Fine
Arts building'completely equipped.
Halldor Karason and Gus Pagels
reported on their convention trip to
Tempe, Arizona. A poll was taken
at the conference which showed that
Western was paying the highest per
centage of any other college in the
western United States to athletics.
WWC budgets 67 per cent of its total
budget to athletics. Second highest
was CWC at Ellensburg with 58 per
cent. The median amount allotted
to athletics was 45 per cent.
Kulshan cabin, jointly owned by
the Mount Baker Ski club and trie
ASB, is beyond repair and will dis­appear
in a few years. The Forest
service is going to open that area as
a recreational region in approxi­mately
four years. Thus was the
report of the Properties committee.
The board prepared to take up the
question of budgets for next year at
their next meeting.
