education? This was the question
uppermost in the minds of the col­lege
president and executive per­sonnel
when they talked with
members of the state legislature in
Olympia last week. Also causing
the college's representatives concern
were the matters of appropriations
and teacher retirement. The ap­propriations
measure is still in
legislative committee and will prob­ably
be brought to light sometime
next month.
BILL PASSES HOUSE
The tuition bill which would levy
$100 fee per year for out-of-state
students at the three colleges of

Misfortune Strikes
Mt. Baker Skiers
Over Last Weekend
Misfortune struck a low blow to
two students of Western last week­end
at Mt. Baker as they were
enjoying a day of skiing.
Art Mafli, army veteran and
freshman, suffered a broken leg as
his ski pointed into the snow and
sent him flying head over heels
on Galena hill. Immediately the
ski patrol came to his rescue and
before too long, he was taken to
St. Joseph's hospital in Bellingham
where he received medical care and
was released Tuesday.
Also on the injured list of skiiers
was Sandra Meyers, freshman,
who sprained her ankle and. knee
in a fall on Shuttle hill.
Both students are reported as
on the road to recovery.
The falls were blamed partly on
the wet, soft snow at the moun­tain
besides the fact the wind was
blowing and visibility was poor.
