Western Washington Collegian - 1951 January 19

              Service Drive Here
Opens at Assembly
This morning's assembly began the World Student Service fund
drive here which will continue through next week.
The assembly featured a student speaker who traveled in India
last year as a representative of*
the WSSF.
The speaker, David Levering, is
a graduate of Redlands University,
California, and was the president
of the student body there. He
traveled extensively in India, and
witnessed much of t h e religious
strife, political unrest, and t he
refugee situation. He also talked
with many top leaders in politics,
and education there, among them
Prime Minister Nehru and Presi­dent
Prasard.
The policy in the past has been to
attempt to bring a foreign student
to speak here, but this year it was
decided to have one of our own
students speak about his impres­sions
of another country.
The assembly was sponsored by
the Thespian club. All other clubs
have something planned for*the
future to aid the WSSP, but some
have not yet announced their plans.
The Blue Triangle club, with the
help of the AWS, is in charge of
the entire WSSP drive here at
Western.
The Association for Childhood
Education club is in charge of fac­ulty
donations, while the Colhecon-omists
have a waffle supper plan­ned
for January 25, tickets for
which will cost 85 cents, and pro­ceeds
of which will go entirely to
the Fund drive. The other clubs
have not decided on an activity as
of yet.
Levering will meet with the club
heads today concerning plans for
the promotion of the WSSP here in
the future.
LanglieBudget
Would Allow
,100,000
Western Washington college will
receive an appropriation of $2,100,000
for the next biennium if the budget
recommendations of Gov. Arthur B.
Langlie are adopted by the state
legislature.
The governor's proposed budget
includes a total of $300,000 for capi­tal
outlay, The college's original re­quest
for capital funds, submitted to
the governor in December, exceeded
this figure. It included money for
the construction of a new infirmary,
science building and other capital
construction and outlay.
An increase of $500,000 for salaries,
-wages and operations is included in
the governor's proposal. WWC's ad­ministrators
asked for an increased
s a l a r y appropriation in order to
bring the faculty-student ratio closer
to national standards.
In explaining his sharp cuts in
the requests for capital construction
appropriations made by the state's
five h i g h e r institutions, Langlie
pointed to the recent defeat of the
$20,000,000 bond issue for new build­ings
and said that "it appears in­appropriate
and not in accord with
the wishes of the people" to finance
such a building program at this time
from state funds.

Harvey Lines Get Laughs at
Try outs; McHeffey Rabbit's Pal
"Doctor, for years I've known what
my family thinks of Harvey. But I've
often wondered what Harvey's fami­ly
thinks of me!£'
This is only one of a great many
lines from the Division of Drama's
winter production which inspired
guffaws during Victor Hoppe's re­cent
audition for the play "Harvey."
For the information of those who
haven't already heard, Harvey is
the story of a lovable lush, Elwood
P. Dowd, and his pal Harvey, an
imaginary six-foot rabbit. The trials
and tribulations that present them­selves
when Elwood starts intro­ducing
his invisible companion to
his friends bring forth many comi­cal
situations.
When the cast selections were an­nounced
it was found that the lead
role of Elwood fell to Jim McHeffey,
with Nita Clothier taking the other
lead as Vera Louise Simmons.
Myrtle Mae Simmons, Veta's gaw­ky
daughter, is p l a y e d by June
Sutherland. Others in the cast of
six women and six men include Milt
Clothier, Dick Wahl, Jeannine King,
Ben. Cary, Dick Usitalo, Hany Ro­gers,
Jerri Mosier, Barbara McHar-gue,
and Marilyn Barber.
Roger Pedersen is the technical
director and Don Pearsall the assist­ant
director of tne production, with
Marilyn Barber handling props and
scripts.
College presentation of "Harvey"
is scheduled for March 1, 2, and 3,
in the Campus school auditorium.

Laundry Unit Now
In Use at WWC
A w a s h e r , extractor, and two
tumblers acquired from war surplus
have been installed as a new laun­dry
unit in the bus shed at the
rear of the Physical Education build­ing
this month and are now in use
washing towels and other miscel­laneous
items from the PE depart­ment.
The machines came to the college
at little cost and only required the
installation of plumbing for water
and drainage. The practical aspects
of the laundry are still being.ex­perimented
with, as to whether such
items as swim suits or gym outfits
can be laundered safely or not.
The installation of the laundry
has provided more student jobs on
campus. Gerald Ludvigson, mainten­ance
staff, who had laundry experi­ence
in the navy, is in charge of the
laundry. ^
President W. W. Haggard stated
that most other colleges and some
high schools have such units but
that the college does not wish to
take business from city laundries.
However, he stated that since the
equipment came at such small cost
it pays to have it installed here on
the campus.
