We&tetot WaikUuffon COLLEGIAN KVol.XLVII — No. 5 Western Washington Colege, Bellingham, Wash. October 20, 1950 HOWDY PODNER! With Homecoming festivities just two weeks away, general chairmen Leila Brown and Bud Hill pause in their busy schedule of preparations to present President W. W. Haggard with a real Western style hat. This year's celebration will follow the theme of a western round-up. Chairmen Promise 'Real Western9 Homecoming Days All strays wearing the Western brand are being rounded up and ! ! just two weeks from this weekend they will all be brought together on the Western ranch for WWC's 1950 Homecoming. Student committees are working to bring present students and . returning grads a full weekend of fun and entertainment. The ll^fnfce-st'tiiirviti-t'iioees scttnartrptAe d tthhilsS morning 4with the homecoming kickoff assembly and nominations for •Queen Sigrid XIII. The theme of a "A Real Western Homecoming" is being carried out !and the campus will assume the atmosphere of a ranch for the three days of the celebration. All students, by special permission of President W. W. Haggard, will be allowed to jwear Western style clothing, to help the dudes get into the swing of ; things. Fifty-two years ago the first graduates were turned out on the range and every year thereafter another group has left the old ranch for the wide open range. This year under \ the co-chairmanship of Bud Hill and jLeila Brown, invitations have been Wnt to all alumni to return to the fold ranch for a weekend of fun com-iimencing with the coronation of the 1950 Homecoming queen. Friday night the ranch hands will see a big pep rally and parade through downtown, and the annual fbonfire which will be lit off in front , jpf the new Industrial Arts building, ilmmediately following this, the skit -' roundup will be held in the college auditorium. After this the oldtimers -Trill have a chance to meet old friends at the all-college mixer in the Junior high gym. The next day, Saturday, November 4, activities resume when all the alumni gather for the annual homecoming luncheon to be held at Edens hall. The climax of Homecoming is reached Saturday afternoon when the Vikings clash with the Eastern Washington Savages at Battersby field in the big football game of the year. The festive weekend ends on a smooth note with the Queen's ball Saturday night in the Bellingham Armory. The orchestra has not been chosen yet, but it will be the best obtainable, according to members of the W club. The Queen's ball will end at 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning, closing Western's 1950 Homecoming. TACOMA DRIVERS Anyone driving to Tacoma Saturday morning for the PLC game should sign up immediately in the Co-op, if he or she has room for extra riders, it was requested by George Rudes, chairman of the pep committee. Girls, Sunday Movie Gives Some Advice "Every Girl Should Marry" is to be this Sunday's movie, sponsored by the "W" club. It will be shown at 6 and 8 p. m. in the student lounge. This movie, a comedy starring Betsy Drake and Cary Grant, is an "hour and a half of laughs," according to the New York Times. Admission is only 25 cents. ROTC Training May Be Started Here Military training to start in the 1951-52 college term may become a reality here. The Board of Trustees of the college yesterday approved a proposal for having an Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) unit on campus, it was announced by Dr. W. W. Haggard. Action on the matter began October 4, when Col. Charles A. Anderson called here to discuss the*" subject with the president and Dr. M. S. Kuder, director of student personnel services. It was revealed that the proposed Western unit would become one of 24 new ROTC groups, other than those of land-grant colleges, to be organized within the Sixth Army area. The request has been made that an infantry unit be established here. Other possibilities, in order of preference, are: ordnance, signal, transportation, military police or chemical. The ROTC would be considered a college department of military science and tactics, functioning in an academic and administrative capacity. Credit could be earned toward graduation,' provided the reservist complied with each quarter's requirements. Calling for a specified amount of drill, the program would probably require frequent use of the State street armory, located two blocks west, of the campus. It is believed that there would be no difficulty in securing use of the armory, which is used weekly by t h e National Guard. The army would provide the staff of commissioned and non-commis- Queen Sigrid Choice Soon Nominations for the Homecoming queen and h e r court were made this morning by the four classes. The candidates will be presented to the student body in a special assembly Thursday, October 26. Voting will begin immediately following the assembly in Room 112. It will continue through Friday, October 27. sioned officers and all supplies for the local unit. Western, however, would be expected to supply space for the staff and storage of equipment. Elmina Boothby to Return Next Week Miss Elmina Boothby hopes to take up her duties as college nurse again Monday. That's what she said yesterday after being released from St. Joseph's h o s p i t a l Wednesday. Miss Boothby suffered a serious leg injury two weeks ago in a fall on the steps of the Main building. Frosh Can See Test Results Results of the objective tests which were taken by all entering students this fall are now available for all those who took them, it was announced t h is week by Dr. Merle S. Kuder, director of student personnel. Dr. Kuder recommends that students who wish to examine their test scores should schedule an appointment with their faculty counselors. The counselors will assist the students in interpreting the test scores, he said. Tests which were taken by all freshmen included the English placement, Nelson-Denny reading, American Council Psychological examinations, and the Kuder Preference inventory. The interpretations of these tests can be of assistance to the student and his counselor in program planning, according to. Dr. Kuder. Should Have Examined Western EDITORIALS LIFE'brought the Western campus to life this week. Thoroughly digested by many here was the newspicture weekly's bulky education issue, particularly the article, "Who Teaches Our Teachers?" This article, written by an anonymous self-commissioned investigator, is a superficial examination of America's 150 teachers' colleges. The author's thesis: "many teachers colleges bring an inferior faculty and an inferior student body together in an inferior physical plant." Impact of the article on campus was nothing less than terrific. Indignant professors pointed at once to the article's obvious shortcomings—over-stressed generalizations, conclusions without sufficient data, isolated extreme cases made to appear as if the norm. "Pure sensationalism," said one. On the other hand, at least one professor found the piece "far too lenient. I would have said a lot more." Good, bad, or indifferent, the article in question overshadowed all other topics of conversation this week. In some cases, history and psychology were forgotten as class meetings were turned into bull sessions inspired by the topic. SHOULD HAVE COME HERE The author has been all but hung in effigy for a bad piece of reporting. We'll let further criticism rest for now. But it's too bad he didn't get to Bellingham in the course.of his travels. If he had, the tone of his article might have been) entirely different. He would not have found here "an inferior faculty and an inferior student body brought together in an inferior physical plant." "John William Sperry" would have found at WWC a respecte'd and distinguished faculty, as capable an academic assemblage as could be found in any liberal arts college of similar size. More than 18 percent of WWC's faculty hold doctor's degrees—a percentage above the national average. Many others have begun advanced work leading to the doctorate. Dr. A. C. Hicks served for three years on the governing council of the American Association of University Professors. No one from the bottom of the ladder is elected to that position. Nor is an "inferior" football and basketball coach consulted by his contemporaries throughout the nation regarding his successful straight-line defense system. In many other ways, year after year, the WWC faculty proves that the administration of this college has secured acknowledged scholars, and educators for the teaching staff. In almost any region of the country he could find out graduates—"inferior" students—in positions of prestige in many fields of endeavor. Prominent former students who have been honored re- (Coritinued on Page 2)
