Macbeth Walks in
Treachery Tonight
TREACHERY — WITCHCRAFT
AND MURDER will come to West­ern's
stage tonight as the curtains
rise on Shakespeare's Macbeth. At
8 p.m. Western's actors will trans­port
their audience into the Medi­eval
Days of Scottish history with
one of Shakespeare's bloodiest
tragedies.

and working triple

stage crew have a work-laden
show ready for presentation;
«Where Are the Women?'
Only Nine Choices in
Wednesday Elections
"There is only one female on the ballot again," Dr. Keith
Murray warned Wednesday night as the Legislature approved
Elections Committee chairman Gordon Harms' procedures for
next week's ASB General Election.
DR. MURRAY'S COMMENT SET OFF A SEETHING
DISCUSSION by Legislators, onlookers and members of the
press as to why there were only nine candidates running for six
offices open, whose fault it was, — ~ ;
and why women were not running
for office.
Jack Rabourn was the sole
candidate listed on the ballot
for the office of ASB president.
Two filed for the vice-presiden­tial
post; Bob Gustavson and
Ken Haag. The four open Leg­islature
seats are to be contest­ed
by five people—Sam Martin,
Dale Steele, Leo Dodd, Bobby
Rae Brown and Jan Hendrick-son,
the lone girl in the entire
ballot battle.
After charges, counter-charges,
attacks on too many rules and crit­icism
of the Collegian for making
people afraid to run for office, the
Legislature ended by approving the
one-day election schedule for Wed­nesday.
POLLING PLACES WILL BE
SET UP IN Old Main, the Arts
Building, the A-M Building and the
P-E Building. The band had re­quested
a special ballot box, but
after band director Jerome Glass
said "I see no reason why they can't
vote with everyone else in the A-M
Building," the solons denied the
request. 7 \f--h. -
WRITE-IN STICKERS WILL BE
ACCEPTED, but supporters of
write-in candidates will not be al­lowed
to distribute them within a
50-foot radius of the polling booths.
Write-in stickers and their
distribution were heatedly dis­continued
on page 6)
The stage crew has especially
been working under a handi­cap
since Mark Flanders, tech­nical
director, has been in the
hospital for a week.
When the cast has completed
two performances at Western, their
work is not completed, but only be­gun.
They will tour all next week,
winding up a series of nine per­formances
next Saturday night.
Macbeth is scheduled for Friday

tolo that everyone will come to
and enjoy," the co-chairmen
stated.
New President Will'Enter as a Student'
"I SHALL BE ENTERING YOUR
MD3ST as a student, as well as a
teacher and administrator. I shall
be looking to you to be my mentors
as I continue my education among
you," Dr. James L. Jarrett, newly
appointed president of Western
Washington College, told the faculty
and staff last Friday afternoon.
HE SPOKE TO MORE THAN 100
FACULTY members at a special
coffee hour in the Campus School
Auditorium. For most of them it
was their first meeting with the new
president, who will take over ad­ministration
of the College in Sep­tember.
As a "callow youth," the tall
sandy haired administrator re­ported,
he had once considered
the possibility that he might
someday become a college presi­dent.
At that time he had
