              Red Tape
Featured
In Dra ma
So you think the government is
nothing but miles of red tape and
forms filled out in quadruplicate.
Think that's complicated enough?
Well, what if you had to do busi­ness
with a bureau which was sup­posed
to be abolished years. before,
but someone just never got around
to abolishing it?
. That's the setting of the winter
quarter division of drama play to
be presented February 12, 13, 14.
"Add to that view two spinsters
running the bureau who are so con­scientious
they tear up their gov­ernment
pay checks each month.
They make the expenses of their
bureau by renting space in t he
building to a dancing teacher, a
pants presser and a couple expect­ing
an addition to their family.
Mix in representatives of t he
Army, Navy and Air Force> plus the
irate senator who should have had
the bureau abolished, and it sounds
as if Laurence Brewster and his
cast have the makings of a hilar­ious
production.

faculty adviser, Monday. Persons shown above are, right to left: Roger Gray, editor of The Writer, Mr. Hovde,

Contest to Decide
Mural to be Put
In Student Lounge
Cash prizes will be awarded to
the five students submitting for
consideration the best sketch or
written idea for a mural in the stu­dent
lounge. Two dollars will be
given to each of the five. The stu­dent
whose idea is chosen by a
board of judges will be awarded
three additional dollars. The art
mural contest is now open and
ideas may be put in a suggestion
box in the lounge.
Joan Reinholt, co-chairman with
Dick Stewart on the mural contest
' • * • * . . . • committee, stated that a graduate
art student would paint the mural
as a project. He would be supplied
with paints and set to work on the
south wall of the lounge develop­ing
the theme chosen. The mural,
Stewart said, should tell a story of
activities in this part of the country.
The committee stated that ideas
may be submitted in either of the
following forms: (1) sketches, (2)
idea expressed in words, or (3) a
sketch with words.

bearer to all the waffles he can
eat, sausages, eggs ;and coffee. Half
of the proceeds of the dinner will
go to Che World Student Service
fund.
Haskins to be
At Western
Termed the "brightest success" of
many a season by Time magazine,
and "vocal perfection itself," by the
New York Herald Tribune, soprano
Virginia Haskins will present her
program Tuesday, February 3, at
10 a. m.
Having studied in St. Louis under
Bernard Ferguson, Miss Haskins
was taken to Verona, Italy for her
professional debut as Gilda in "Rig-oletto"
by the famed opera star
Rosa Raisa. Cupid cut her stay in
Italy when she returned to St. Louis
to be married.
In 1939 Miss Haskins made her
American debut in "Mignon" at
Chicago with such stars as Ezio
Pinza, Gladys Swathout, and Tito
Schipa.
She went on to the "Chicago
Theater of the Air," and finally in
1947 got the alternate lead in "Car­ousel"
after only a week in New
York.
Besides the stage Miss Haskins
has also appeared in television pro­ductions
of "Hansel and Gretel" and
in "Gianni Schicchi."
Dimes Are Needed
For Patient Care
And Polio Researce
March of Dimes donations do
more than just provide care for
persons already stricken by polio.
Nickels, dimes and dollars donated
also go towards research to develop
a permanent preventative against
polio, the only epidemic disease on
the rise in America.
Hopeful announcements can be
heard over the! radio or read in the
newspapers nearly every week. First
came gamma globulin, a temporary
preventative, but lately more perm­anent
types have been developed.
Nevertheless, they are not yet per­fected,
and those who have already
been stricken must have care.
The end of polio's devastation of
young Americans may be just
around the corner, but medical re­search
must have the dimes to be
enabled to turn that corner.
Give generously. There was a
campaign slogan used extensively
not long ago. It said, "Give until it
hurts." You can't give until it hurts
as much as the sight of a little
girl's wasted arm or leg. And how
about you, do you think you're im­mune?
Think it over, then give.
Waring Concert in
Seattle Sunday
Of interest to many on campus
this week is the concert Sunday, in
Seattle, of Fred Waring and t he
Pennsylvanians. The famous group
is on its first transcontinental con­cert
tour and this is its first ap­pearance
in Seattle. The group will
include the glee club, the orchestra
and the soloists.
The concert is scheduled for 3
p. m. in the Civic auditorium. Many
members from the WWC choir and
band have purchased tickets.
Largest
Staff on
'Writer
Members of the staff of the win­ter
quarter issue of "The Writer"
have begun the first step in publi­cation
of the magazine: reading
submitted manuscripts.
The Writer has a larger staff this
quarter than it has had since its
inception in 1947. It also has, re­ports
editor Roger Gray, less mate­rial
submitted than before.
In deploring the dearth of ma­terial,
Gray explains that "to ob­tain
manuscripts of sufficient qual­ity
to maintain the Writer as West­ern's
only 'literary' publication, we
must have a large amount of ma­terial
to choose from."
Each department, fiction, essay,
and poetry, is low on material.
Manuscripts of all lengths will be
considered, and welcomed, Gray
says.
Dr. Edgar Daniels advises the
essay department staffed by Janet
Sutherland, Zbanne Westover, Col­leen
Reilly, Martha Rank, Eleanor
Bravender, and Berneice Brown.
Advising the poetry and art de­partments
of E. S. Laird, F e rn
Wiese, Muriel Weber, and Marilyn
Hall, is James H. O'Brien.
Annis Hovde is advising the fic­tion
department which consists of
Roger Gray, Joan Wharton, Lee
Rhodes, Carolyn Keene, Mike
O'Sammon, and David Gay.
All three advisers are members
of Western's English department.
New Students Given
Questionnaires
Jean Sheets, president of the In-terclub
council, announced t h at
questionnaires have been given to
all new students entering Western
this quarter.
The questionnaires ask each stu­dent
what his interests in h i gh
school were and what activities he
participated in there. The students'
answers will be turned over to the
the clubs they would be concerned
with.
Next year there will be a func­tion
to introduce the clubs to the
students. A new more satisfactory
way for the introduction is being
planned.
