ASB movies hit
F. Bassetti meets
with WW students
"IF I HAD TO GIVE a deadline,
I would say within six to eight
weeks."
This was architect Fred Bas-setti's
estimate of the date that
he and the Student Union Building
Committee will have worked
out final architectural drawings
for the SUB.
BASSETTI WAS REPLYING to
questioning by a Collegian, reporter
last Friday morning. The occasion
was the staging of a photo (see adjacent
picture) across from the site
where the SUB will ,be built.
As he looked towards the
knolls and houses now located
on the site, Bassetti estimated
that it will take two months for
a final bid on construction to
be accepted after the architectural
plans are a finality. During
this period he thought that
Federal, State and city approval
of the construction for a specific
site would be granted.
"OPTIMISTICALLY SPEAKING,"
he said, "construction might begin
this June."
Immediately preceding the
photography at the SUB site,
the Seattle architect had given
a progress report on SUB plans.
He spoke to an assembly of students
in the Campus School
auditorium.
BASSETTI COMPARED HIS
ROLE to that of a city planner. He
noted that in trying to decide what
the SUB should be, he had looked
around the state, and now had a
good idea of what it should not be.
"The b u i l d i n g should be
scaled to the people who are
going to use it," Bassetti told
the audience. The building will
be approximately 120 feet long,
80 feet wide, and probably three-and-
a-half floors high.
MATERIAL FOR THE SUB prob-
MR. RICHARD WHITTEMORE, featured speaker for the senior class ably will be brick, used in "a lively,
banquet, works diligently preparing his address. Whittemore is in spirited-not massive-manner," the
his initial year on the Western faculty. (Collegian Photo) Continued on Page 3)

Vandals prolong
string of thefts
THE LATEST CASE of College
vandalism affected an estimated 350
would-be campus movie viewers last
week.
It caused cancellation of the
movie scheduled for Friday
night in the Auditorium following
the UBC game. "Someone
had maliciously tampered with
the. backstage sound wires," according
to Dr. David McDonald,
Education Department, who is
in charge of visual aids. The
damage has now been repaired.
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO
clues to their identity, Dr. McDonald
reported to the Collegian
Hey gang, Seniors that is, your
night to howl is fast approaching.
The Senior Banquet will be held
Feb. 12 at the Bellingham Country
Club.
Starting at 7:00 in the evening,
"all Seniors will have a chance to
enjoy the chicken dinner which will
be served. Tickets will be on sale
until Feb. 11, on the main landing
of Old Main. The charge is $2.25
a plate.
To clear up the problem ojf who
can attend and who can't, the
Senior Planning committee announced
that all students who will
be graduating Spring, Fall, or
Winter Quarter of 1958 will be able
to buy a ticket.
The main speaker for the evening
will be Dr. Richard Whittemore.
A piano solo by Nancy Shields will
provide entertainment. Master of
Ceremonies will be Senior Class
President Dave Van Bronkhorst.
Guests at the Banquet will be Dr.
and Mrs. W. W. Haggard and Senior
class adviser Dr. William Budd and
Mrs. Budd.
Senior Planning Committee co-chairmen
Karen Mackeland and
Marilyn Almgren stated that seniors
may bring guests, and the dress
will be semi-formal.
that the vandals appear to be
familiar with the Auditorium projection
and sound system. They
definitely are not members of the
College projection or stage crew, he
said.
The vandals have struck before.
"Our movies often have had
difficulties due to tampering
with the projector." Dr. McDonald
explained that on Jan. 21
the electric arc inside of the
projector was activated, which
caused two rectifying tubes to
burn out and melted a glass
protection lens specially designed
to withstand heat.
"THE TEMPERATURE must have
reached 1200 degrees Fahrenheit to
melt the heat lens," said Dr. McDonald
after consulting with William
Dittrich, Science Department.
"The heat lens was 10 to 12 inches
away from the arc, and the electric
current generated could have
killed the man who toyed with it."
The visual aids director explained
that inside the projector
alternating current is converted
into direct current which
has a high amperage. High amperage
is required to activate
and to maintain the carbon arc
which supplies the projection
light. The machine should be ,
operated only by an experienced
projectionist, M c D o n a ld
