Athletic scholarships came through for the second time Mon­day

between the number of voters and votes cast."
Machines eliminated human "error" in an election that also
gave Nadine Schilling, Bill Siebler, Paul Greenwalt and Barbara
Bos four-quarter posts on the BOC. Allen Jung took the one-quarter

Board Rescinds Athletics Audit Action
By ALLAN MATHIESON
Never let it be said that the BOC is too proud to admit it has made a mistake. It did so Wednes­day
night when it changed its collective mind and rescinded the motion appropriating $250 for audit­ing
of men's athletics expenditures.
The motion to rescind was made by Board member Albert Van Aver who stated that the audit
could show nothing that the Board did not already know and that there were better ways to spend
Board money. Several Board members, including Hildebrand and Teshera, backed this" motion. Hilde-brand
stated that the audit would serve no good purpose because the school accounts would be
Band Takes Prize
A fifty-dollar first prize has been
awarded to the Western Washington
College Band for a performance last
week in Victoria, B. C., Dr. Don
Walter, band director, announced
today.
Occasion was the annual observ­ance
of the Queen's birthday Fes­tival.
Some 15 or 20 American and
Canadian bands participated in the
competition.
The Western band, approximately
80 members, took part in a special
marching show in the Queen's Pa­geant
and in the parade.
Largest Graduating Class
Dons Caps and Gowns Friday
The largest class graduating from
Western for several years will take
part in the traditional commence­ment
ceremonies in the Auditorium
at 10 a. m. Friday, June 8.
Donning caps and gowns, the
class will assemble in the south
main hall of Old Main at 9 a. m.
From there, led by uniformed
Valkyrie members, the class will
follow the members of the faculty
in the traditional walk across cam­pus
for the Commencement cere­monies.
In case of rain, however,
the members will assemble in the
Student Lounge at 9 a. m. before
proceeding upstairs.
By Thursday afternoon 274 persons
had applied for 329 degrees, includ­ing
August graduates. Master of Ed­ucation
degrees were to be granted
t» 28, B. A. in Ed. degrees to 204
and Bachelor of Arts degrees to 97.
(Two degrees each are to be re­ceived
by 47 persons.) The Regis­trar's
office expects these figures
to change as people off campus com­plete
work for August graduation.
Delivering the Commencement ad­dress
will be Harold S. Shefelman,
a prominent Washington attorney
who has played an active part in
the development of the schools in
the state of Washington. The at­torney
was chairman of the Evalu­ation
Committee of the Governor's
Conference on Education, 1945-55
and chairman of the Washington
State Delegation to the White House
Conference on Education last year.
Class Day ceremonies honoring
the graduates will be held at 2:30
p. m., Monday, June 4, also in the
Auditorium. More than 200 awards,
including the coveted Freshman Cup
for scholarship, will be announced.
audited by the state and the pro­posed
audit would be nothing but
a duplication.
Board members Dunlap and Rich­ardson
provided the most vocal op­position
against the motion, stating
that an audit was the most expe­dient
way to get to the source of the
trouble in the athletic accounts.
After much discussion the motion
was passed by a close majority.
A proposal to appropriate $50 for
a student to compare athletic ex­penditures
with budget appropria­tions
was then passed by the Board.
Said ASB president Roland Sayler:
"This will achieve the same results
as a professional audit and cost the
students $200 less."

Klipsuns have been distributed
this week and if you haven't re­ceived
one you may pick it up
in the Klipsun office.

letic scholarships out of student
funds; 294 students answered no.
In the BOC race, the decisions
were extremely close between the
top four. Nadine Schilling received
475 votes, Bill Siebler, 470 and Paul
Greenwalt 465. The fourth spot was
a two-student contest with Barbara
Bos (418) making the Board by nine
votes over Dave Amos with 409. Gail
Tuininga drew 354 votes, while
Shirley Graham — who withdrew
from the re-election—tallied 15 on
the absentee ballots.
Allen Jung took a tally of 397,
to Larry Richardson's 279, in the
one-quarter position.
In a special meeting of the Board
of Control last Thursday, the mem­bers
were told by Elections Com­mittee
Chairman Rosemarie CHdow
that up to 75 fraudulent ballots
were counted on the Athletic Schol­arship
measure—discovered by the
discrepancy of the number of people
voting and the number of ballot*
counted—and over 40 discovered on
the candidate voting.
The Board voted to hold a re­election.
More people turned out for the
re-election than the first one with
a total of 747 voting. 716 cast their
opinions on the scholarship question.
This decision came on the heels
of reports by many people who had
voted twice—"to see if it could be
done"—and who had found the polls
unattended Monday. These reports
reached the Collegian even before
the results of the election were tal­lied,
but could only be confirmed by
the Elections Committee—who took
their report to the Board of Con­trol,
which declared the re-election.
Baccalaureate Sunday at 4;
Dr. Martin Goslin Speaker
This Sunday Western seniors will
don their caps and gowns for Bac­calaureate

City University, and graduate work
at Boston University School of The­ology

He was elected Roswell R. Robinson

and at Oxford.
Dr. Goslin was Professor of Bib­lical
Literature and Public Worship
