What ReaSJy Happened Raft Race Was Titanic Mess What was supposed to be a simple raft race down t h e Nooksack River for two Western raft teams ended in a catastrophe involving a massive rescue that wasn't even needed last S a t u r d a y morning. The watery mess began on the muddy banks of the cold Nook-sack at Nugent's Bridge near Deming at 6 a. m. The river was moving along at six knots—just right for raft racing.

The impact threw Knowles and Captain Swanson headfirst into the river. Stolpe and the other Swanson twin managed to beach the raft about a quarter-mile downstream from the impact. The Titantic's team decided to scuttle their raft after regrouping. Just before the wet crew swam for safety off the island they were wrecked upon, they spotted two more shipwrecked rafters upstream on another island. The two motioned to the Titan-tic crew that they were heading for shore too—only on the opposite side of the river. Their raft too had to be scuttled and that was the last the Titantic crew saw of them until Monday morning. WITH PADDLES in hand, the Titantic crew swam for shore. Soaking wet, they, headed for a See 'RAFT' Page 3 THE WESTERN WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE CQlUBflM Vol. LVII, No. 26 Bellingham, Washington Friday,May 28, 1965 1965 KLIPSUN READY TODAY The last of Western's annual publications, The Klipsun, is ready for distribution—free—today in the basement of the Viking Union. This year's book is bound in a hard maroon cover and boasis 104 pages, including many in brilliant color. Last year's Klipsun brought a barrage of criticism and a few book-burnings were reported to boot, but Editor Lloyd Strong is confident that students will be satisifed with the latest production. Four pages are devoted to Peter, Paul and Mary; three for President Bunke's inauguration; and included are 436 mugshots of underclassmen, not to mention the senior class. Students may pick up their Klip-suns in room 3 of the Viking Union, 9-5 p. m. today through next Thursday. They are free, having been paid for from student fees. No bookburnings are predicted this year. Dorm Rooms To Hike $8 Starting Fall Quarter Effective Fall Quarter, dormitory room rates will be raised $8 p e r s t u d e n t per year, Gerald Brock, Director of Housing, announced early this week. The Board of Trustees decided on the hike because residence halls are self-supporting and the costs of labor have risfln, Brock stated. .•••! He also told The Collegian that since the cost of living goes up annually, so must the costs in dorm rooms. "The rates will be higher fall quarter and cheaper spring quarter, with winter remaining about the same," Brock said. THE RATES will be redistributed each quarter and will no longer be figured out in relation to the number of days in the term, he added. "Many students come to Western fall quarter, but don't plan on staying through the entire year," Brock explained. May Join Political Union In a way, he said, these students will be penalized by having to pay more fall quarter than they would have to the other quarters. Presently, room rates run on the average of $25 per month and the raise will amount to about one dollar per month. With the addition of the new Ridgeway dormitory complex on Highland Drive, there will be an additional 368 rooms fall term. THE NEW complex will provide 444 new rooms, but the 76-room Women's Residence Hall (WRH) will no longer be used for housing students. It will be converted into classrooms. The announcement of room rate hikes came in the wake of growing speculation that the Board of Trustees will also be forced to increase student tuition starting Fall Quarter as well. The amount of a tuition raise will probably be in the neighborhood of five to six dollars per quarter. The University of Washington's Board of Regents just got through raising their tuitions ten dollars per quarter last week. College Bowl Four Face Rhode Is. Next SDS, YAF form Clubs Here Two politically-orientated groups located on opposite ends of t h e political spectrum, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) a n d t h e New Conservatives, were chartered on campus Tuesday. SDS, a liberal organization, and New Conservatives were accepted as official clubs by the Public Affairs Commission and it is speculated that both groups will become members of the newly-formed Political Union. Both clubs are still in the advanced organizational stage, according to Executive Vice President Dean Foster, chairman of the PAC. "SDS has nine members, while the New Conservatives have twelve," Foster reported. THE NEW Conservatives, actually a chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), has already applied for admission to the Political Union. New Conservative Chairman John Gregory announced that his club will be seeking new members at its meeting Tuesday evening. SDS will be mainly concerned with Civil Rights education involving students. "It will give a voice to peace movements and student reforms, if necessary, and will raise money to support slum projects in northern cities," Mike Burr, a member of the new club, told The Collegian yesterday. He also said that SDS's stand wilt be against the war in Viet Nam. On the other hand, the New Conservatives basically support President Johnson's policies in Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic.

The buzzer rang just as moderator Robert Earle was asking the last question. ON MONDAY, the team was in Washington, D. C, where Rep.
