Students Have Last
Chance Next Week
For Pre-Registration
"Students who have not pre-registered
are urged to do so
next week since this is the last
opportunity before January 4,"
Donald Ferris, registrar, announ­ced
this week.
Next Monday, Tuesday, and Wed­nesday
have been set aside for those
students who have not yet pre-registered.
New sections which have been sets|
up for the winter quarter but which
are not in the schedule are Science
103 at 1 p. m. daily and lab at noon
on Monday and Wednesday (Miss
Ruth Piatt), and Music 101 on Mon­day,
Wednesday, and Friday at 11
a. m., taught by Don Walter. New
sections of English are also being

"Any changes of schedules must be
made the week of December 5-9,"
Ferris said.
Eight Hundred Thirty-
Seven Cast Ballots
During Two Day Vote
A record crowd of enthusiastic voters trooped to the polls
Wednesday and Thursday. Five new members will go to the board
of control assured that a large portion of the student body is be­hind
them. Eight hundred and thirty-seven votes were cast, in the
two days of voting.
The new members are: for.four quarter ma'n or woman, Louise
Collins, Hal Kloes, and Bob Sarvis.
For four quarter woman, June Carrick.
For one quarter man or woman, George Yonlick.
The large number of people who voted in this election is a tri­bute
to Western's school spirit. It is also an especial reward to
those students who worked on the election publicity. The election
assembly last Wednesday, the public address system in the lounge
and the numerous election stunts all had a significant effect on the
final total of votes cast, said Loren Rankin, election chairman.
Pianist to Appear
With Orchestra
Xmas Concert
Rehearsal On
As there is not much room for
replacements in the choir for winter
quarter, students wishing to try out
are advised to see Bernard Regier
for an audition before registering
for their winter quarter classes.
Intensive rehearsal.is now begin­ning
for the Christmas concert
which will be presented Friday, De­cember
9. Sectional rehearsals dur­ing
the noon hour are being planned
for the weeks following Thanksgiv­ing
up until.the concert. A choir
party is also being planned for De­cember
9 after the concert.
Committees have begun work on
the decision as to what type of dress
will be worn for less formal oc­casions.
Gabriel Fenyves, the pianist who
will appear next Tuesday morning
in the college assembly program, will
perform that evening with the
Bellingham Civic Symphony orch­estra.
Beginning at 8:15 in the high
school auditorium, the program in­cludes
the Mozart concerto for piano
and orchestra. Dr. Frank D'Andrea
directs the orchestra, which draws
half its members from the college
music department..
Identification Pics
Heeded for Some.
Students who have, not had identi­fication
pictures taken are requested
to do so in room 112 between 11 a. m.
and 2 p. m. on Tuesday, November
22.
Dr. Kuder said there is a consid­erable
number of students who
missed the photographer either in
the general confusion of registration
procedure or by being late for reg­istration.
This will be the last chance to
have the pictures taken until Janu­ary.
uture of Five Cent Coffee In Doubt as Market Prices Incline; Co-operation of
.veryone In Keeping Student Lounge Clean Will Help Mr. Bade Hold the Line
The future of the nickel cup of coffee is dependent on two
iprsy according to Louis Earle, co-op manager. Earle was-auth4
orized/vby the Board of Control last week to raise the p£i|g!pf
HI fee to 10 cents whenever conditions warrant the incre^^j^^itej
\mt he!hopes that such a step can be avoided. ^p^' 1
; The wholesale price of coffee has risen approximately1 $ 0 perf
cffot jri two weeks, and there is at present no way of knowing
whetherthis upward trend will continue. If it does, it may mean
trtat Mfee^drinkersi will be forced to plunJk down an extra Nickel
Student co-operation in keeping the lounge clean is the other
factor in determining whether or not a raise becomes necessary. If
unclean, untidy conditions in the lounge prevail, it will be neces­sary
for the management to hire extra help to clean it. That addi*
tional expense will have to be met somehow, and a higher price for
coffee seems to be the best solution.
; : In; this respect, lounge users themselves will determine whether
or hot inflation hits the coffee bar. By taking a little pride in the
appearance of the lounge they may be able to avoid paying the
higher price. . ^ ' . -v
