Volunteers Help
During Storm
By Ray Burke
"I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll
blow your campus down," bel­lowed
Aeolus, god of the wind
last Friday night on the WWSC
campus. Although he didn't blow
the campus down completely he
did leave havoc and destruction
in his windy path, especially at
the Ridgeway dormitories.
One of the first reactions be­fore
the storm hit was by John
Sigurdson, assistant resident di­rector
and head proctor for the
Ridgeway dormitories. Sigurdson
went downtown and bought sev­eral
flashlights and candles in
preparation for the trouble ahead.
The next event was the closing
of the ASB dance about 10 p. m.
by Western's security patrol.
Then immediate hours were im­posed
on the girls because of
the increasing winds.
As soon as the dance was
closed the security patrol, the
campus parking patrol, proctors
and individual male students
from Ridgeway and Highland
Hall dormitories all helped in
escorting women students to
Ridgeway between the debris
that was falling on the sidewalks.
The debris included rocks, dirt,
branches, downspouts, gutters
and trees. Radio station KPUG
was informed of the girls im­mediate
hours. _-
One freshman" girl, Carri Krei-tinger,..
described the scene as
she was trying to make it to

UCCF Invites Davis
To Speak In Forum
The United Campus Christian Foundation voted
last week to invite t h e much-discussed Ben Davis to
p a r t i c i p a t e in a f o r um on t h e McCarran Act. Oct. 29.
The t i m e and place for t h e discussion h a s not yet
been announced.
A pre-meeting will be
held on Oct. 24 t o present
background information on
the McCarran Act prior to the de-;
bate the following Monday.
The decision to invite Davis
was made at a council meeting
Ben Davis
of the U.C.C.F. by a vote of 10
to three. The move followed the
rejection of Davis' offer to speak
on campus by the student legisla­ture.
Non-Conforming Humorist
To Speak Here Thursday
An ardent believer in non-con­formity
and once past editor of
the British humor magazine
"Punch" will appear as high­light
two in the Fall Quarter Con­cert-
Lecture Series.
Malcolm Muggeridge, journal-
Malcolm Muggeridge
ist, editor and world traveler,
will highlight the series Oct. 25
in the auditorium as he speaks on
"A Fool's Eye View of the
World."
Muggeridge, a Britisher by
birth, has been a frequent guest
on television programs both here
and in England.
"Non-conforming is tremendous­ly
invigorating, adding" a quiet
special spice to life," Muggeridge
once wrote. "What a sense of
life's salty tang, when a decision
not to conform is taken."
Although imbued with the hu­mor
in the world today, Mug­geridge
believes seriously that
the 20th Century is reminiscent
of nothing so much as the dark
ages when destruction, supersti­tion,
and obscurity also held
sway.
The myth of progress seems to
him particularly untenable—ed­ucation
only seems to encourage
the spread of ignorance; the new
dawn of science has given place
to the "eerie light" of atomic ex­plosion;
the loss of religion has
left a moral vacuum. To combat
these negative values, he insists
that "True democracy requires
a non-conforming citizenry."
Muggeridge believes that many
of our problems in the world to­day
can be solved if we only
allow humorists to attend summit
conferences and regulate the
pressing problems of the state
that confront us on all perime­ters.
Humorist Muggeridge has writ­ten
for The Manchester Guardiar,
The British Sunday Pictorial,
and has also traveled in Russia
as a correspondent to The London
Daily Mirror.
The forum that will include
Davis will be a four-man panel
discussion. Davis and John Dar-rah,
Executive Secretary of the
Seattle chapter of the Civil Lib­erties
Union, will oppose the act
against two spokesmen for the af­firmative
side.
The discussion will be different
than an actual debate in that
there will be a moderator to di­rect
the forum.
Following much, the same de­sign,
the pre-meeting win center
around propaganda techniques
and the McCarran Act itself.
Doug McCoy, member of the stu­dent
legislature, will moderate
the pre-meeting.
Problems concerning the forum
now center around finding a suit­able
place to hold the meeting.
Since the legislature's decision,
after the longest meeting in its
history, that nixed Davis' pro­posed
speech on campus, much
controversy and angry discussion
has centered around the UCCF
decision.
UCCF Director Lyle SeHards is
now trying to find a meeting
place that will enable the discus­sion
to be held without encourag­ing
any possible demonstrations,
and will hold the large crowd
that is expected.
Announcements of the time and
place of the meeting will be re­leased
as soon as they are veri­fied.
Cuban To Speak
Dr. J. Puig, a psychiatrist, for­merly
of Cuba, will speak on
the topic "Fidel Castro's Cuba"
at 9 p. m., on Oct. 23 in the
Viking Union 11A. The talk will
be in English, and is open to
all students.
