Western Washington Collegian - 1953 February 27

              COLLEGIAN
Vol. XLVII - No. 20 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Feb. 27, 1953
College Votes
For Student
Heads Tuesday
With a little over three hundred
people voting, the entrants in the
general election to be held next
Tuesday and Wednesday were
chosen last week.
Only in the race for the two board
of control seats was there an actual
contest. This is due to the fact that
only the prescribed number of ap­plicants
for the general election for
ASB president and vice president
had filed.
The results of the primaries leave
these six to battle it out for the two
board seats: Carol Resner, Dorothy
Eyres, Sue Fisher, David Gay, Gloria
.Mutch, and Ivan Hickenbottom..
The same three people will be on
the ballot in the voting for the
ASB president and "veep" jobs.
Bob Porter, Henry Howe, and Vic
Lee will be contesting- for the job
of prexy, and Carolyn Crook, Milton
W. Goheen, and Morris Miller for
the "veep" position.
The presidential and vice presi­dential
election is for officers to
serve next year, but they will be
ex-officio members of the board
spring quarter.
Jones Speaks
About Gas
Leland E. Jones assistant general
manager of the Seattle Gas com­pany,
spoke on the topic, "The
Natural Gas Picture in the Pacific
Northwest," Friday, February 27, in
the physical science department, at
9 and 11 a. m.
Dr. Fred Knapman, associate pro­fessor
of physical science, said "Mr.
Leland's address comes at a very
opportune time.
"The significance of the address
is that the Pacific. Northwest is
badly in need of additional sources
of energy. Several times in recent
years a lack of rainfall has reduced
the amount of electricity that could
be developed from existing hydp-electric
facilities."
During the past fall several in­dustries
had to curtail their opera­tions
because of insufficient elec­tricity.
One solution to this prob­lem
is to pipe natural gas into the
Pacific Northwest and use this gas
as a fuel for industrial and house­hold
purposes.
Hearings are being held in Wash­ington,
D. C, to determine whether
it is more feasible to bring this gas
from fields in Southwestern U. S.
or from Alberta, Canada, Jones said.

ported the BHS students ,td, the
campus Wednesday. They were giv­en
a short talk, on the purpose of
the visit: to study cOllege exper­iences
and aid them in .their edu­cational
planning. , .
The Bellingham students were
then split into four groups accord­ing
to their .choices of curriculum:
teacher education, junior college,
arts and sciences, and nursing. Af­ter
refreshments, they were taken
to spend half an hour in a college
class of their choosing.
In groups of 8 to 10, they were
sent with a faculty and college stu­dent
counsellor to answer their ques­tions
about Western, and colleges
in general. Approximately 140 were
here.
Today the seniors from county
high schools arrived at 10 a. m.
They were given an introductory
speech, consulted on the curriculum,
then went to lunch at 11:15 a. m.
They then were given the option
of going on a campus tour or
conferring with the consultants.
At 1 p. m. they will visit classes
for the whole hour. At the end of
the period they will go back to the
auditorium, and then back to their
schools.
Mural Contest
Judged Soon
Tuesday, March 3, is the dead­line
for the art mural conest, ac­cording
to Joan Reinholt. The en­tries
will be judged Wednesday,
March 4, at the Board of Control
meeting.
The selection of the mural theme
will be decided upon by the Board,
but the interpretation of the idea
will be. up to the art student who
does the work. Alexander Zawacki,
instructor in art, explains that it
will have to be made on canvas and
then fastened to the lounge wall,
more or less permanently, for "oil
painting on the wall itself would
involve tying up the lounge (room)
for a long while."
Ideas may be put in the sugges­tion
box in the student center, room
114, rather than in the lounge as
in the past. Express the idea in
any of these three ways: (1) sketch,
(2) in words, (3) sketch with words
explaining. '''•'•
Service Deferments

Registrar's office notified the Col­legian
that all students who have
received or expect to receive student
deferments from selective service
should be making normal progress
towards a degree. This means a,min­imum
of sixteen grade-hour credits
per quarter.
"We consider anyone with twelve
or more credits as a full time stu­dent—
however, students who have
or expect a deferment should carry
at least sixteen hours," stated Don­ald
Ferris, registrar.
