rx GEORGE HESS
"Help wanted!" was chairman Bill Radcliffe's report to the Board of
(Control Wednesday on the activities . of his lounge rejuvenation com­mittee.
He told the board that his group has procured all the necessary
materials, including paint, plywood, tools, etc., which will be needed for
the job. "The kickoff time is 9 a. m., Saturday, April 23," lie said. "Our
only worry now is to get enough volunteers to do the work. If the
students are reajly interested, and if they really turn out to help, the
lounge's face-lifting will go off with.;
a bang," Radcliffe concluded.
ASB prexy Gus Pagels reported
that a pep assembly is scheduled for
next Friday to highlight the Vik­ing
nine's first home baseball game.
The program is to include a full-fledged
pep rally including yells,
songs, skits, and band numbers.
Some time will also be devoted to
candidates in the spring quarter
primary elections, he added.
The board selected its nominees
for the approaching primary elec­tions.
The following people were
nominated for the positions indicat­ed:
four quarter woman board mem­ber,
Charlene Webb, with Rosalie
Stoerchli as alternate; four quarter
man or woman board member, Sam
Kelly, with Charlie Borden as al­ternate;
ASB vice-president, Phyllis

ASB president, Bill Jones,
with Art Runestrand as alternate.
A report from Katherine Niemela,
chairman of the WSSP funds drive,
was presented .to the board. $110
has been collected thus far, the re­port
said, but not all collections
have been turned in as yet.
Dr. Haggard has approved the sale

will select the source and type of
sandwiches.
WSSF Still Below
Goal, More Needed
Contributions for World Student

ing of true democracy through our
giving. What we give today will
determine the destiny of tomorrow.
Total contributions to. d a te
amount to $110.91. This figure in­cludes
the following individual con­tributions:
assembly, $37.24; faculty,

Leonard Hudson Dies
er Long Illness
| Leonard Hudson lost a courageous battle with cancer Wednesday
when he passed away at St. Luke's General hospital. The college was
especially saddened for it had become vitally interested in the educational
career of the ailing 27 year old army veteran.
I After being wounded on Leyte, during the Pacific campaign, he under­went
an operation to remove shrapnel from his tight shoulder. Cancer
resulted after his discharge. *
Hudson had completed his. stu­dent-
teaching with the Campus
school third grade. In the fall of
1947 his right arm was amputated,
but he continued his teaching. So
popular was he with the yougsters
that they went in a group to visit
him during his three weeks here.
The feelings of his fellow students
were evidenced by the funds drive
they sponsored for him in January.
P1owers|and-best wishes were sent
to; Hudson's bedside.
jtadson is sarrtved by his wife
It&beO, and three children at home,
Bonnie, Carolyn, and Michael; also
his foster mother, Mrs. George Ivy
of Mount Vernon. ' '
The funeral services which were
held at Harlow-Hollingsworth on
Thursday at 11 a. m. were at­tended
by many Western students
and members of the faculty. Six
fellow^students; co-members of the
Disabled; American Veterans acted
as pallbearers. Services were con­ducted
by Rev. John Parrott, of
First Christian church, and DAV
officers. Interment will be in Port­land,
