Past WWC Student
Gets Govt. Post
..Elliott Aandahl, a student here
last quarter, paid a visit to the
campus Friday morning. A former
missionary and U. S. Marine, Aan­dahl
is enroute from Washington,
D. C, to Nanking, China. He will
take up the post of assistant attache
at the American embstssy in Nan
king.
"I have been attending indoctrina
tion school in Washington, D. C,"
Aandahl said. "My job; will include
mostly public relations work through
the mediums of the press, radio,
movie screen, etc.", he continued.
His main function will be helping to
promote understanding between the
Chinese and American nations.
Aandahl visited George Dowd and
Bruce Hannaford, also former stu­dents
of Western, while he was in
the nation's capital city. The pair
have a two-room basement apart­ment,
he said, and are working in
the Library of Congress as planned.
They are not, however^ attending
George Washington u n i v e r s i ty
this semester because; they ar­rived
too late to enter. "They send
their regards to all their former
friends at Western," he, concluded.
Sunday afternoon Aandahl em­barked
for Nanking by Pan-Ameri­can
clipper. His missionary and mili­tary
experience in China stand to
make him a useful asset to the
U. S. diplomatic corps in that coun­try.

Board Fire Check
Actions Praised
President Haggard has commend­ed
the Board of Control for their
action on lounge fire protection,
board member Bill Morton report­ed
Wednesday. "One new exting­uisher
has been installed, and a %-
inch hose probably will be installed
soon," Morton continued. Dr. Hag­gard
also ordered a routine check
of all the fire-fighting facilities on
the. campus. Several minor; deficien­cies
and potential sources of trouble
were discovered and eliminated.
Although no action was taken, the
board discussed thoroughly $he pos­sibility
of forming a Campus Chest.
The members concurred with Jhis
suggestion from ASB President Gus
Pagels, but they were reluctant to
act at the present late date. They
decided, instead, that it would be
better to bring the matter-up again
in the fall. '
'"The lounge redecoration.commit­tee,
headed by Bill Radcliffe, was
voted $200 to order materials. Rad-
•cliffe reported that this figure might
be sufficient for the project if paint
brushes and tools can be borrowed
rather than rented. His committee
will be ready to start the. job early
next quarter, he said.
The WSSF was allotted $15 to be
used as operating expenses when
they bring a speaker to the college
next quarter.1 After some discussion
of the political aspects of the
newly proposed idea for enlarging
the. board, the meeting was ad
journed.
Students Asked to Know Post
And Use of Extinguishers
By BURT HORMAN
Fires that have damaged or destroyed various college buildings through­out
the country have been making news recently. These fires should serve
as reminders that such a disaster could strike WWC*
All students should be aware of the fact that WWC is not fireproof.
The* main building is c o n s t r u c t e d mainly of wood. If a fire ever
started here it would be difficult to check. Now is the time to make
•certain that all precautions are be­ing
taken to prevent such an oc­currence.
KNOW YOUR SCHOOL
Fire extinguishers and alarm
boxes have been installed in several
locations throughout the building.
Each student should take special
notice of the location of these safe­guards
now. If a small fire should
start it could' perhaps be put out
immediately provided someone was.
able to locate and use one of the.
extinguishers. In the case of such
an emergency most persons are not
capable of thinking nor^reacting as
quickly as they would ordinarily. By
becoming familiar with the loca­tion
of fire extinguishers and alarm
boxes now, precious times could be
saved by not having to search blind­ly
for a means of putting out a
small fire.
Learning the location of exting­uishers
and alarm boxes is not
enough, however. Learn to use them
also. Read the instructions on these
devices now so that no time will be
lost in doing this in case a fire,
should start.
LEARN THESE RULES
In the event of a fire the rules pf
procedure are as follows:
1. All students in the central unit
of the main building will leave by
the central entrance and proceed
in the direction of the Knoll.
2. All students in the north unit
(science annex) of the main build­ing
will leave by the north front
entrance, turn toward the central
entrance and-proceed" also in the
direction of the Knoll..
3. All college students in the south
unit (junior high school annex) will
leave by the south front entrance
and proceed in the direction of the
Knoll.
Copies of these rules are posted
on the bulletin boards and all stu­dents
should know them. Proper
observance of these rules in case of
fire could mean the difference be­tween
life and death.

Essay Contest
Essays for the International Re­lations
club's contest are to be on
the subject "Can the Forces of
Capitalism and Communism Co­operate
to Attain World Peace?"
and must not exceed 2,000 nor be less
than 1,500 words in length. First
prize will be $20. -Three honorable
mention prizes of $5 will also be
awarded. -
The contest closes April. 4, 1949,
when all essays must be in the
hands of Nora B. Cummins, ad­visor
of the club. All papers shall
be typed doublespace on standard
typing paper and be in triplicate so
that each judge may have a sep­arate
copy. Help should not be
asked from any. of the judges.
Other rules governing the con­test
are that the essays be original
in content, expressing the writer's
view rather than be a compilation
of- what others have said or writ­ten
on the subject. These published
opinions may be used to illustrate
the writer's own conclusions. All
such sections must be properly ac­knowledged.
The name of each contestant will
be entered on a list with a number
which will thereafter identify the
essay. This is to prevent partiality
on the part of the judges and so
eliminate any such accusations by
writers.
The name of the writer must not
appear on the paper.
HAWK, CHANNER
