New Klipsun Editor
No $$$ No
The 1965 Klipsun needs an additional $2,100 if
t h e r e ' s going £p be any student "mug-shots" Western's
solons learned at Monday's AS L e g i s l a t u r e meeting.
Lloyd Strong, newly appointed Klipsun editor,
t o ld the legislators that without an increase in the
" $10,000 yearbook budget there will be n o . student
photos, other t h a n those appearing in activity shots
and of g r a d u a t i n g seniors.
"It would take an estimated $2,-
100 for the photos even if the
staff took the pictures them­selves,"
Strong said in his pro­gress
report.
AS President Ralph Munro said
that negotiations were underway
to arrange for the additional
money, but that "there is nothing
concrete yet."
Dean Foster, AS executive vice
president, queried as to the
changes from last year's annual
there is going to be. Foster called
the annual a "Toulouse Tabloid."
'/There is going to be a large
section devoted to student activi­ties
and we will include as much
a majority of students as we
can," Strong replied. "There will
be 30 extra pages of student ac­tivities."
AS Program Vice President
Tony Tinsley asked if the Legisla­ture
could have a look at the
dummy of the annual before the
first section was sent to press
around Nov. 1. But Munro quickly
stated:
"If your knowledge of journal­ism
is as good as mine—we have
no business even going down­stairs."

In other legislative action Mon­day,
Ron Stephens, facilities
chairman, was grilled for organ­izing
house visitations for frosh
class office candidates.
Legislator Blair Paul said that
Stephens had organized some
house visitations and used the
Associated Students postermak-ing
machine to advertise, but the
posters seemed to say that all
candidates would speak.
'/The fact is that all the can­didates
haven't been invited to
speak," Blair said. "I think too
many people will think that all
frosh candidates will have been
represented/* • • - - - < -
Stephens told the solons that- no
candidate had been invited or un­invited
to attend the visitations
that evening.
"Anyone who has come up and
asked me has been accepted to
participate tonight,"k Stephens
said.
The Legislature decided to ap­point
Legislator Clark Drummond
to preside over.the visitation pro­ceeding
to "insure all candidates
the right to speak."
Tinsley added that he would
like to commend Stephens for
getting off his, duff and doing
something. Stephens personally
planned and organized the visita­tions
set-up.
The Solons also decided Monday
that the Legislature adopt a poli-

Public Affairs Commission chairman Dean Foster
is not inviting any controversial figures to campus this
quarter until after the next meeting of the State Legis­lature.
Informed sources report that the reason for
this is that such speakers might adversely affect the
success'of Western's budget proposal.
When confronted with this accusation, Foster said
that the budget ^proposal has no bearing on who is in­vited
to speak here. He admitted, however, that there
are no extremists scheduled to
appear this quarter:
"This is election timer' Foster
said, "and I am more interested
in; having politicians come to
Trustees Green Light
$1,450,000 Dorm
Western's Board of Trustees
gave the green light last week to
plans for a nine-story dormitory
to be constructed on campus next
year.
The dorm, which will house 300
women and cost about $1,450,000,
will be Western's first attempt at
high-rise housing.
The building will be erected
on property adjacent to the Vik­ing
Union enclosed by High, Gar­den,
Oak and Pine streets. The
project will be finished by fall
quarter, 1966.
THE DORM, designed by Archi­tect
Henry Klein of Mount Ver­non,
will include two elevators,
19 study carrells, a recreation
room, central laundry facilities,
and one large and two small
lounges.
According the architect, two
students will occupy each room
with about 35 students per floor.
The rooms will include built-in
wardrobes, desks, dressers, book­shelves,
and beds.
Bath and "ironing facilities will
be provided in the new'dorm" also.
The dorm will} be constructed
of reinforced concrete and brick
to complement the rest of the
campus architecture. . . .
Parking problems will be-nulli­fied
by an adjacent underground
parking garage for 300 cars. The
garage will be covered with a
concrete 'lid' that will be used
for tennis courts.
Ah innovation which is* sure to'
please the most sophisticated co­ed
will be a spacious sun deck
on the roof of the dorm, far out-of-
sight from men with binocu­lars
and telescopes—there won't
be a higher building on campus.
When this dorm is completed in
1966, a twin will be constructed
beside it. accomodating an addi­tional
300 women. It is slated
for completion in 1967.
The Ridgeway Complex will be
completed next fall when 450 men
move into phase three of the com­plex.
Over 1,000 students will be
housed at that end of the campus.
BACK TO REALITY—Umbrella-toting students were washed: back
to reality with some good ol' Bellingham rain this week. Some
freshmen and transfer students actually thought Western's cli­mate-
was-going to stay sunny.

He hinted that there would be
some controversial speakers -here
next quarter, but he would not be
Quoted on who they would be. |
Western's speaker policy al­lows
any person invited by a
faculty member or college sanc­tioned
organization to be permit­ted
to speak on campus.
On the other hand, Dr. Paul
Woodring, Westerns interim
president, said extremist speak*
ers would affect the legislator's;
decision on the budget proposal.
: "I believe that extremist speak­ers
would affect the success of
the budget requests, and I also
believe they would affect the stuv
dents and the reputation of this
college," Woodring said.
When Whatcom County's legi­slators
were questioned on this
topic, they were generally
opposed to the liberties allowed
by the present speaker policy.
Legislators Jack Hood (R-41st)
and Dick Kink (D-42nd) felt that
the policy should have some
guidelines as to how they select
speakers.
"I believe in as much academic
freedom as possible,*' Hood said,
"but I am against bringing peo­ple
to Western who advocate the
overthrow of - government by
force. The policy shouldn't be
this liberal."
Kink felt that controversial
speakers "simply shouldn't be
allowed to speak on campus.
"If. they came to a specific
class with strict supervision, this
would be all right," Kink said,
"but I am opposed to the pub­licity
created by their .appear­ance
on campus. This is the sort
of malarky that the legislators
take a dim view of."
Both legislators agreed, how­ever,
that exercising the speak­er
policy would not affect the
State Legislature's handling .of
Western's budget.
Beard of Trustees member
Marshall Forrest was in favor of
the speaker policy as it stands.
