Two Speakers Give Confab Good Start A r m e n t r o u t , Rennie Prove Inspirational L e c t u r e r s at Annual Summer Conference Two exceptionally fine speakers opened the Annual Summer Conference at WWC yesterday. Dr. W. D. Armentrout, vice-president of Colorado State College of Education, Greeley, Colo., spoke immediately after the conference was opened by President Haggard. Wesley F. Rennie, general secretary of the Seattle YMCA and representative of the National Council of YMCA at the San Francisco Security Conference gave an address at the luncheon in Edens hall. Dr. Armentrout opened with a definition of democracy by James Truslow Adams, setting the pace for a serious, thought provoking speech titled, "The Concepts of Democracy Necessary for Peace." The audience was reminded of the familiar words, "The only true freedom is of. the mind." The speaker elaborated, "We are free to do as we please—if we please to act intelligently . . . This is the area of personal rights versus personal responsibilities . . . The purpose of education is to help us to that freedom." "Education is a tool that can be made, and has been made, to serve many masters," and there is no justification for the too prevailing attitude that a great quantity of education will automatically insure democracy, warned Dr. Armentrout in emphasizing the necessity for thinking. Thinking' Is Essential He went on to say that "nothing is so painful as the pain of a new idea." Thinking is uncomfortable, disturbing, and a lot of trouble. But, he maintained, the average man is capable, of thinking although he.has never been given a chance, only blamed because he hadn't thought. Discussing intelligence, Dr. Armentrout said, "A necessary condition for the development of intelligence is the conflict of ideas," and pointed out we are. lucky we live where that condition may prevail. He distinguished between abstract, social, and technical intelligence. Symbolism Has Pitfalls "Only when men are strong in the democratic faith can education be strong," declared the speaker to an intently listening audience. "Democracy is in a dangerous position in the world today." It is not self perpetuating, not static, more like a clock that must be rewound every generation, every year, every day. An experienced speaker with excellent timing and delivery, the Colorado State College of Education vice-president e m p h a s i z e d his theme: "The essential thing about democracy is its attitude." An interesting and lively discussion followed. Rennie Address Timely Immediately afterward at an Edens hall luncheon Mr. Rennie gave a summarization and interpretation of the conference in% San Francisco. He was one of four delegates sent by the National YM to the conference as an observer. He was also at the conference in the role of consultant representing the Church Peace Union. Mr. Rennie described what a tremendous undertaking was involved in the staging of the conference. A huge staff was necessary,, including men from all over the world. A special tribute was paid the skill of the French interpreters. The daily volume of words to record the conference precedure varied from 400,- 000 to one million. The greatest barrage of publicity the world has ever marshalled in one cause poured forth. In the field of journalism the New York Times was cited for outstanding achievement in putting out a (Continued on Page Pour) wm Vol. XLIII—No. 36 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, June 29, 1945 Assembly Singer CALENDAR New Staff Member Yves Tinayre, Paris born baritone, who will perform in assembly Friday, July 6. A master of the vocal art, Mr. Tinayre specializes in medieval music. Yves Tinayre A scholar who can also sing— that is the description that has been applied to Yves Tinayre who will, appear in assembly Friday, July 6. Mr. Tinayre, who is a native of France, made his American debut in the fall of 1939. The success of his first concert was so sensational that the Town Hall endowment series, which presents only musical highlights, immediately engaged him when faced with a cancellation by another artist of international reputation. Filled Many Engagements In the second New York z-ecital he again proved his unusual merit, and his reputation grew with each subsequent appearance. In less than six months he appeared at Vassar college, Smith college, the Eastman School of Music, Hamilton College, the Coolidge Festival in Washington, D. C, and the Festival of the American Society of Ancient Instruments in Philadelphia. Mr. Tinayre obtained his training as a singer in France, England and Italy. As a music scholar he is entirely self-taught. His greatest achievement lies in his interpretation of early medieval and sacred works.

Cornish of the PE department, papers will be placed on the recreation bulletin in the main hall July 2 and 3, and those interested are asked to sign. Tournament schedules will be posted July 6, and from that date on the balls should be flying thick and fast.

Mazed Mural Colors Wall By HATCH The second week of the Workshop has been a busy and profitable one. On Monday Dr. Grimm led. a discussion of "Evaluation and Reports" in a special interest group meeting. The discussion of that problem will be continued in another meeting to be held soon. One of the highlights of the week was the trip to the Rocks for the purpose of studying the plant and animal life in the tide pools. Ber-nice Johnson, a teacher in the Fair-haven school of Bellingham and member of the Workshop group this summer, proved herself to be an interesting guide for the excursion. Miss Johnson has also produced a most wierd and wonderful mural on sea life which can now be seen at the door of the Art Shop, Room 126. Members of the Workshop group are discovering hidden talents and bents' in the meetings in the Art Shop. Clay, poster paints, plaster of paris and other materials are provided and the Workshoppers have a good time using the materials, learning new techniques and producing articles which only they can identify. Art Dept. Displays Finger Paintings Featured in the halls of the art department at present is an exhibit of finger painting. This new art medium has proved popular with children and adults alike and is readily adaptable for murals, linings of envelopes, wastebasket and similar container covers, and many other uses. Some of the pictures exhibited in the hall were done in class, others by a representative of the Shaw company that sells finger paint. Dr. Frank D'Andrea, distinguished musician f o r m e r l y of Pennsylvania State Teachers college, to be new music department head at WWC. Re Art Prof Between gasps as he caught his breath after climbing the High street hill and the steps to the art department on the third floor, Dale Goss, art instructor, candidly claimed the Campus to be one of the most beautiful and also the most ideally located for summer school within a thousand miles. He continued to speak of the College with the breath of spring by. the knoll; the quiet (so quiet in fact, that he was kept awake at night—'till he moved downtown nearer Boeing's!); and the friendly atmosphere. Goss also commented on the educational philosophy which prevailed throughout the school. A sort of practice what you preach idea. Goss, who has been working in the- Seattle schools for the past eleven years, has served as Supervisor of Art in the junior and senior high schools since 1942. He has also worked with the art curriculum committee and is in charge of all art supplies for the entire city cystem. A Admiringly commenting on the attitude of summer school students Goss stated, "They certainly get their money's worth. If they were eating beefsteak they'd probably eat the hide." A graduate of the University of Idaho, he also attended the University of Washington, Reed College, the University of Oregon, and the Chicago Art Institute. In 1941, on sabatical leave from the Seattle system, Goss did graduate work at Yale. WWC Tops Quota In Bond Drive WWC has again generously fulfilled its bond quota, according to W. W. Haggard, college president. In the "Mighty Seventh" as in every previous drive, the college has purchased its full quota and more. Faculty and employee goal of $6,750 was overreached by $110, making a total of $6,860 purchased by the members of the staff. The Campus school children purchased $8,371 in stamps and bonds during Spring quarter, the greater part of which was netted in a special drive on May 18. During the school year the children bought $10,326.55 in bonds and stamps, or an average of over $38 per child. Dr. Lucy Kangley, instructor of English, is bond sales chairman. Noted Musician Accepts Post As Music Mead D'Andrea Lured by Northwest; Acclaimed Violinist and Teacher Will Come to WWC in Fall New head of the1 music department, effective with the opening of fall term, will be Frank L. D'Andrea. He comes here from State Teachers college Indiana Fa. where he has been a member of the music faculty for four years. Dr. D'Andrea has had considerable experience teaching and extensive musical training both here and abroad. "We feel very fortunate to have obtained Dr. D'Andrea for our faculty" states Dr. Haggard in announcing the appointment. Dr. D'Andrea received his master's degree in music and his doctor's in education from Columbia university. He studied in London both at the Royal academy and at the Mary \ Datchlor school. While he was abroad he travelled extensively in France and England. Though he did no teaching there he says he utilized much of his learning there later in the preparation of his theses as well as in classroom instruction. Wide Teaching- Experience He has been a member of the music faculty at the State Teachers college near Pittsburgh for four years. Previous to that he was for two years instrumental director in the Georgia State college for women at Milledgeville Ga. Last summer he was an instructor at the William and Mary college in Virginia and directed the chapel choir. Dr. D'Andrea is a violinist of note. Both he and his wife who holds a music degree from Columbia are accomplished musicians. . The appeal of the Pacific Northwest and the advantages here as well as the future possibilities of Western Washington college were factors in Dr. D'Andrea's decision to come here instead of remaining in Pennsylvania although he was offered the chairmanship of his department there. Well Known Nationally Although only thirty-one years of age Dr. D'Andrea has received wide recognition in his field. Several of •his articles have been printed in music journals of national circulation. He is highly recommended by leaders of music education in the United. States such as Professor James S. Musell head of music at Columbia university and Professor Norvall L. Church of Columbia. Higher Summer Enrollment • Registration for t h i s quarter shows an enrollment of 355 students, which is an approximate increase of 16 per cent over last summer. About one third of those enrolled are seniors and there are a few who have completed four years of work but are interested in some special classes in education. The male population is almost holding its own with an enrollment of 6% per cent of the total! The Western Washington campus has attracted students from all over the country and a few from Alaska and Canada. Massachusetts, Minnesota, South Dakota are each represented by one person; there are two from Nebraska, three from California, four from North Dakota, six each from Idaho and Montana, eighteen from Oregon. Six teachers have come from Alaska for the summer session and five have come from Canada. ' -;
