              Two Chartered Buses
Will Transport Vik
Rooters to Vancouver
Two chartered buses and a host of private cars will transport a
horde of Viking rooters to the Saturday afternoon football clash
with the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds, pep com­mittee
chairman George Rudes*
announced this week.
The chartered busses, each hold­ing
30 passengers, will leave the
campus at 9:30' a.m. Saturday, ar­riving
at the British Columbia des­tination
in time for the game, which
starts at 2 p.m. Round trip tickets
were being sold in the main hall this
week for $1.00.
A special student admission rate
of 50 cents has been arranged, ac­cording
to Dean of Men C. W. Mc­Donald.
A cheering section has been
reserved for the Western delegation.
McDonald urges those students
making the trip to have some suit­able
means of identification so that
a quick clearance at the border may
be facilitated. A birth certificate, he
said, would be quite acceptable.
Those who plan to join the Viking
caravan with their cars are asked to
meet at the parking lot in advance
To be admitted to the UBC
game for the special rate of
50 cents, VVWC students must
present their ASB activity cards.

in last Friday's assembly.
Of 10 students seeking the posi­tion
of song leaders, the following
three were chosen: Joyce Peterson,
June Hansen, and Beverly Carlson.
The voting student body gave the
nod to the following six yell lead­ers

New String
Orchestra
To Be Formed
Response to the college symphony
orchestra is so encouraging that a
campus string orchestra is being
formed, according to Dr. Prank D'-
Andrea, music department.
The group will prepare many in­teresting
programs for various as­semblies
throughout the year, Dr.
D'Andrea said.
Western's symphony orchestra
started rehearsals early this fall
with 35 students participating. Four
years ago the college joined with the
city in organizing the civic sym­phony
orchestra, and this year's
plans for the orchestra include three
evening concerts with nationally fa­mous
guest artists.
Ernst Wolff, tenor; Louis Kauf­man,
violinist, and Everett Fritzburg,
pianist, all of whom appear on the
artist and lecture series, will also
appear in concerts at Belllnghahi
high school.

Field Trip Lauded
In Education Journal
"Washington Education Journal"
includes in its September issue an
outstanding article by Miss Marie
Pabst and Fred Knapman,, local
science instructors. The article tells
about Western's success in taking a
student group out-of-doors for a
summer field course in science.
Persons planning to teach for a
career often have wished they could
actually study their subjects in
natural surroundings, the article
says in the beginning. The dream
became a reality this summer when
the science department took 25 stu­dents
through Washington and Ore­gon
on a "Pacific Northwest Field
Course in Science." A review of that
course was covered in the magazine.
Some of the questions answered
by the writers were on evaluation
of the following: In what areas in
science do you think you have made
the most growth? To those who
teach, what are some of the experi­ences
which you have had this sum­mer
which will be of significant
value in your teaching? How do
you feel physically, especially in
terms of facing your work this com­ing
fall, as a result of your sum­mer's
activities?
Students also listed those areas in
which they gained the most value
through personal inspection.
Chest X-Ray Unit
Arrives Monday
Each student at Western will
be required to have a chest X-ray
taken as a part of the regu­lar
physical examinations.
A mobile X-ray unit of the
State Health department w i ll
visit the campus next Monday,
T u e s d ay, Wednesday, and
Thursday. This procedure, tak­ing
about IS seconds, is free of
charge.
Facilities will also be avail­able
for interested faculty mem­bers.

Elena Imaz' Dancing Trio
International Dance Trio Will Be
Presented at WWC on Tuesday
Elena Imaz' International Dance
Trio will be the next attraction in
the current artists-lectures series.
On Tuesday morning they will pre­sent
in the college auditorium a
varied program of colorful, exciting
folk dances of many lands.
Miss Imaz, a native Argentinian,
and founder of the group, exhibits
the skill of the classical Spanish
dancers in her performances. A new­comer
to the trio is Iona McKenzie
who has replaced Louise Ferrand.
She brings to the trio a wide experi­ence
in the dance ranging from
the Metropolitan Opera Ballet to
Broadway musicals. She has starred
in such hits as "Oklahoma," "Call
Me Mister," and "Ballet Ballads."
Wayne Lamb, the third member
of the trio, is also well known on
Broadway and gives the group his
support as a sure and experienced
dancer.
Replacing Oscar Kosches as piano
accompanist is Michael Bourgeot,
noted French pianist brought to
America especially for the tour by
Miss Imaz. He provides the piano
accompaniment for the group of
dancers.
The dance trio has been widely
acclaimed wherever they have per­formed
on their nationwide tour.
The San Francisco Chronicle re­ported
them "an immediate hit" and
Dance Magazine called their first
appearance at Carnegie Hall "one of
the brightest moments of the 'pop'
Friday Program

Homecoming Skits
To Be Based on
Theme of #Songs#
One event of WWC's annual
Homecoming celebration is the
skit assembly, which will be held
this year on Friday night, No­vember

to co-chairmen Gail Dillon and
Ben Carey.
The chairmen have announced
that skits will be based on the
theme of "songs, both popular and
ballad, old and new."
Rules and regulations will be given
to all clubs and organized houses
wishing to enter a skit. These rules
may be obtained from Gail Dillon.

Television Tonight
In Student Lounge
Television tonight in the lounge
was announced by Eddie Hicken-bottom,
student body president, at
a special assembly yesterday.
The co-axial cable was laid Thurs­day
and the booster set which Bruce
Jacobs of KVOS has built will be
installed in time for tonight's show­ing.
Council Considers
Liquid Complaints
The Faculty council is a rath­er
serious and dignified commit­tee
of faculty members who meet
regularly to recommend various
maters of policy to the faculty
and the college administration.
Reports of their meetings are
customarily written up by the
chairman, Dr. Arthur C. Hicks,
in a reliable academic style. A
sample follows:
"Drinking Fountains. Com­plaints
about the non-function­ing
of drinking fountains in cer­tain
quarters of the Main build­ing
were aired. It was suggested
that they may be serviced peri­odically
so as to insure an ade­quate
flow of liquid refresh­ment."
One glaring omission: What
type of 'liquid refreshment" is
to flow?
National Affiliations
Discussed in Assembly
An attempt was launched dur­ing
a special assembly Thursday
to feel out student sentiment on
the issue of affiliation of campus
clubs with national groups. The
assembly was conducted by stu­dent
body president, Ed Hicken-bottom,
with Dr. Keith Murray
as the principal speaker.
Dr. Murray presented the faculty-council
view ,while Carol Irwin,
Ken Forseth, and Bob Wicks pre­sented
their personal opinions as
members of the student body.
Dr. Murray expressed the wish
that the issue be examined objec­tively
by the students and that they
make their opinions known. He re­viewed
the history of the issue for
the benefit of new students, com­menting
that "Perhaps more heat
than light" was engendered l a st
spring.
He asserted four main points in
clarification: (1) These national af­filiations
will under no circum­stances
be an entering wedge for
social fraternities or sororities. (2)
Any club has been and will be open
to all students interested and elig­ible.
(3) There will continue to be
faculty advisorship for all clubs.
(4) The Interclub council will have
the last word on all student organi­zations.
A discussion followed from
the floor.
ASB President Hickenbottom said
that a poll would be taken next week
giving all students a chance to ex­press
their opinions.
