V V A QUICKIE. . A friend of ours who used to suffer from insomnia and bad dreams told us the other day how he effectively invented o cure. It seems that his dreams were.dull, listless, and loggy, and dreaming, itself was getting to ^e a bore.

After swallowing three or four of these pills at night before going to bed, he is now able to dream in technicolors!'

"•'•;•• "' V' V Nearly 7O0O Students Aided By Student Loan Fund JettySnow, staff writer, depicts the, final act in student loan-inp— pftying back. Lyn Hughes, secretary to the Loan Fund, accepts the cash with receipt. Aiding more than 6,728 college students since its founding in 1904, the student loan fund is yearly becoming a more important part of Western Washington college. The total sum of $273,000, loaned students in the past thirty-six years, has assisted many men and women to complete their education. Begun by a gift of $440 by the senior class of 1904, the fund has grown gradually until it now contains over $28,000 all of which is available to students. Other graduating classes and also individual contributions increased the fund to $1,800 by 1918. In this year $11,000 was added to the fund from two general sources. A total of $5,500 was raised by students, faculty members and . friends of the institution; this was matched, dollar for dollar, by Charles Allen of Seattle who is the largest single contributor to the fund. During the last three months more than $4,000 has been loaned to seventy-six men and fifty eight women registered at WWG. Most of these loans, which average about $30, were, used to pay fees, buy books and take care of other new expenses. Though limits have been set by the student loan committee on the amount which a student can borrow, these amounts are liberal. The student loan committee, appointed by President W. W. Haggard, is as follows: Miss Ruth E. Piatt, chairman; Miss Florence E. Johnson, dean of women, vice-chairman; Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom, S. E. Carver, L. A. McGee, dean of men, and Miss Lyn Hughes, secretary. Flyers' Wives Shouldn't Worry According To H. C Cook By Eric Phillips and Bill Hatch Suffering from a slight cold, yet cheerful enough in spite of it, H. Canfield Cook, noted flyer, photographer, and lecturer, packed away his movie projector as he talked. His flexible, strong-looking hands did their work automatically from long practice, apparently without his guiding them. Mr. Cook began his flying career at the age of 9, when a family friend took him up for a ride. That was in 1909, and when a close friend joined the Canadian Air Force in 1914 he was further influenced in his choice of a career. At 17 he joined the first overseas American flyers, and thus became one of the youngest pilots ever to fly officially for the United States. Interested in Photography After the war he was employed with a European travel company, showing people places to go and things to see. It was while employed in this way that he became interested in commercial photography, which at present is his main work. Although he no longer is connected in any way with the army, he now weas the wing insignia of the American Legion, flight division. He works for national flying companies only on rare occasions, but he is a great air-travel booster, and stressed several times the safety of modern aviatoin. "Flyers' wives have no more reason to worry about their husbands than locomotive engineers' wives," said Mr. Cook, who owns his own plane. He supposes that his wife worries like anyone else's, however, even though she also is a flyer. German Air Force Superior Mr. Cook was definite in his opinions concerning foreign army flying power. He said, "There is no question but what the German flying force & .superior to anyother. The British force is pressing close behind them, now, however. As for German planes being of inferior materials and workmanship," he went on, 't'hat's all poppycock!" : . V:.;> ': Mr. Cook seems qualified to speak on this subject, as he has flown many y * a ^ every type of. military plane produced by the major nations. He did stress, however, ttat American manufacturers are years ahea^ design and individual improvements are concerned. ^ At. the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trustees held Wed? nesday, April 17, plans were approved for the new campus. school building, to be erected during tjie coming year. The Board requested that Bebb and Jones,. the Seattle firm handling the architectural plans, submit, final specifications of the buiiiding for approval by the Board, The official report of Mel-vin O. Sylliaasen, Seattle engineer, that the grandstand site on, Waldo field is suitable for building . was read and accepted. It was announced that WPA plans for leveling the campus between the library and the PE building have been approved in Seattle, and are now oh the way to Washington. Tentative plans for the new campus school building, which ' is to house ' from kindergarten through the sixth grade, call for completion by May 1, 1941. The bids on the houses recently consigned to the college have been opened and announcement made that purchases were made by L. A. Kibbe, C. A. Hartman, Dwight Dickens, and the Sheline Salvage company for prices ranging from $35 to $177. The structures must be moved away or torn down within times stipulated in the sales agreement. Bushell's Band Busy Bunch With the prospects of a busy week ahead, the WWC band and orchestra, under the direction of Don Bushell, are preparing new musical selections for their debut at Lyn-den high school, April 26. Plans are also being arranged for the band to broadcast over KVOS for thirty minutes from the Edens hall Blueroom, M»y;.2fcat8:.30^p. m . . . _.-. Bushell posted notices that cars will be needed to take the band and orchestra to Lyhden. He stated that the expenses will be paid for the use of cars furnished by students. Next week the string ensemble has arrangements to play for the Women's Music club on the morning of April 24, and on the evening of April 23 at Mrs. A. B. Welsh's home. Nan Dybdahl Wiik will join , the ensemble as vocalist for the evening performance at the Welsh home. The band will also play a concert for the Campus school assembly on April 25. Because of the accumulation of this large amount of work, the band will have a short practice from 7 to 8:15 on Tuesday evening. Band members are urged to be on time. Speech Association Elects Hoppe At a convention of the Washington State Speech association held in Wenatchee April 12 and 13, Victor Hoppe of the faculty at WWC was unanimously elected president for the ensuing year. Mr. Hoppe, /Dr. Jack Cotton, also a faculty member, and Miss Ann Montgomery, of the Bellingham high school faculty, represented Bellingham at the convention. Dr. Cotton presided at the annual dinner held Friday evening, and both Mr. Hoppe and Dr. Cotton spoke in a panel discussion on Saturday morning on the subject, "How Can the Colleges Improve the Training of Speech Teachers?" At the request of Kathryn Newell, Blue Triangle president, $45 was allotted by the Board of Control at its Wednesday's session, for the purpose of paying part of the expenses of WWP delegates to Seabeck. The conference will be held the second week in June and any college student desiring to attend may do so. An amendment to the Associated Student Body constitution to be voted upon at the quarterly election, May8, was passed by the board. The amendment calls for a change in the procedure of the selection of faculty representatives to the board. Rolf Jensen, CAMPUS ' pfiY chairman, appeared at the meeting and submitted a tentative Jtoancial report for the holiday's vfestivities. He announced that all committees had been selected and that one of the aims for the day will be greater participation on the part of college students. Jim Junkin, rec hour head, announced that the music for tonight's rec hour will be furnished by Brooke Temple's orchestra, with dancing from 8:30 to 11:30. • . • • |.

COLLEGIAN FIRST CUSS Word was received Wednesday of the entrance of the WWCollegian into a journalistic charmed circle. The Associated Collegiate Press, affU-iated with the University -of Minnesota School of Journalism, rated the fall quarter editions of the Collegian as first class. The rating is considered excellent The Whitman College Pioneer was the only otter paper in tht state to receive such consideration.

Applying students must place their bids in Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet's box in the presidents' office. Campus School Site Known Formal announcement has been received from John Paul Jones, Seattle architect, and his .assistant, an architectural engineer, that the new campus school building may be placed at the grandstand site on Waldo field without danger of settling, according to information received from the president's office this week. Instructions have been issued to George Dack to have, th^ test holes filled, and it is hoped, according to President Haggard that actual construction may be started some time this coming slimmer.

Internationally celebrated vocal Punchinellos, the Comedian Harmonists are now on their second tour of the United States, having sailed the ocean blue from New York to Melbourne to display then-brand of lunacy on five continents of the world. The Harmonists are noted for never doing the same thing twice in the same way: Their aversion for" "the beaten path" once sent Marlene Dietrich into a laughing fit-that broke up a stage performance and; caused, the Curtain ,tor be rung down. good heavens with the science department on the other end Pictured inside Victoria's Observatory under the guidance of Dr. Pearce, head astronomer, are WWC Science students and faculty members during their recent jaunt ..across the, Canadian border to view the, heaven's through the huge 73". telescope, parts of which are in view in Dr. Lyle Brewer's photo above., _ . ;. t Kuder Heads South Dr. Merle S.

The group, comprised of students interested in astronomy, spent Saturday night going through the Victoria Observatory. Miss Piatt said that the 73-inch telescope enabled them to see Neptune, the moon of Neptune, and the moon. The telescope brought the moon to a distance of approximately 500 miles. Miss Piatt also mentioned that the group Was the most interested and enthusiastic group that she has had the pleasure to accompany.

Lyn Hughes, secretary to the Loan Fund, accepts the cash with receipt. Aiding more than 6,728 college students since its founding in 1904, the student loan fund is yearly becoming a more important part of Western Washington college. The total sum of $273,000, loaned students in the past thirty-six years, has assisted many men and women to complete their education. Begun by a gift of $440 by the senior class of 1904, the fund has grown gradually until it now contains over $28,000 all of which is available to students. Other graduating classes and also individual contributions increased the fund to $1,800 by 1918. In this year $11,000 was added to the fund from two general sources. A total of $5,500 was raised by students, faculty members and . friends of the institution; this was matched, dollar for dollar, by Charles Allen of Seattle who is the largest single contributor to the fund. During the last three months more than $4,000 has been loaned to seventy-six men and fifty eight women registered at WWG. Most of these loans, which average about $30, were, used to pay fees, buy books and take care of other new expenses. Though limits have been set by the student loan committee on the amount which a student can borrow, these amounts are liberal. The student loan committee, appointed by President W. W. Haggard, is as follows: Miss Ruth E. Piatt, chairman; Miss Florence E. Johnson, dean of women, vice-chairman; Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom, S. E. Carver, L. A. McGee, dean of men, and Miss Lyn Hughes, secretary. Flyers' Wives Shouldn't Worry According To H. C Cook By Eric Phillips and Bill Hatch Suffering from a slight cold, yet cheerful enough in spite of it, H. Canfield Cook, noted flyer, photographer, and lecturer, packed away his movie projector as he talked. His flexible, strong-looking hands did their work automatically from long practice, apparently without his guiding them. Mr. Cook began his flying career at the age of 9, when a family friend took him up for a ride. That was in 1909, and when a close friend joined the Canadian Air Force in 1914 he was further influenced in his choice of a career. At 17 he joined the first overseas American flyers, and thus became one of the youngest pilots ever to fly officially for the United States. Interested in Photography After the war he was employed with a European travel company, showing people places to go and things to see. It was while employed in this way that he became interested in commercial photography, which at present is his main work. Although he no longer is connected in any way with the army, he now weas the wing insignia of the American Legion, flight division. He works for national flying companies only on rare occasions, but he is a great air-travel booster, and stressed several times the safety of modern aviatoin. "Flyers' wives have no more reason to worry about their husbands than locomotive engineers' wives," said Mr. Cook, who owns his own plane. He supposes that his wife worries like anyone else's, however, even though she also is a flyer. German Air Force Superior Mr. Cook was definite in his opinions concerning foreign army flying power. He said, "There is no question but what the German flying force & .superior to anyother. The British force is pressing close behind them, now, however. As for German planes being of inferior materials and workmanship," he went on, 't'hat's all poppycock!" : . V:.;> ': Mr. Cook seems qualified to speak on this subject, as he has flown many y * a ^ every type of. military plane produced by the major nations. He did stress, however, ttat American manufacturers are years ahea^ design and individual improvements are concerned. ^ At. the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trustees held Wed? nesday, April 17, plans were approved for the new campus. school building, to be erected during tjie coming year. The Board requested that Bebb and Jones,. the Seattle firm handling the architectural plans, submit, final specifications of the buiiiding for approval by the Board, The official report of Mel-vin O. Sylliaasen, Seattle engineer, that the grandstand site on, Waldo field is suitable for building . was read and accepted. It was announced that WPA plans for leveling the campus between the library and the PE building have been approved in Seattle, and are now oh the way to Washington. Tentative plans for the new campus school building, which ' is to house ' from kindergarten through the sixth grade, call for completion by May 1, 1941. The bids on the houses recently consigned to the college have been opened and announcement made that purchases were made by L. A. Kibbe, C. A. Hartman, Dwight Dickens, and the Sheline Salvage company for prices ranging from $35 to $177. The structures must be moved away or torn down within times stipulated in the sales agreement. Bushell's Band Busy Bunch With the prospects of a busy week ahead, the WWC band and orchestra, under the direction of Don Bushell, are preparing new musical selections for their debut at Lyn-den high school, April 26. Plans are also being arranged for the band to broadcast over KVOS for thirty minutes from the Edens hall Blueroom, M»y;.2fcat8:.30^p. m . . . _.-. Bushell posted notices that cars will be needed to take the band and orchestra to Lyhden. He stated that the expenses will be paid for the use of cars furnished by students. Next week the string ensemble has arrangements to play for the Women's Music club on the morning of April 24, and on the evening of April 23 at Mrs. A. B. Welsh's home. Nan Dybdahl Wiik will join , the ensemble as vocalist for the evening performance at the Welsh home. The band will also play a concert for the Campus school assembly on April 25. Because of the accumulation of this large amount of work, the band will have a short practice from 7 to 8:15 on Tuesday evening. Band members are urged to be on time. Speech Association Elects Hoppe At a convention of the Washington State Speech association held in Wenatchee April 12 and 13, Victor Hoppe of the faculty at WWC was unanimously elected president for the ensuing year. Mr. Hoppe, /Dr. Jack Cotton, also a faculty member, and Miss Ann Montgomery, of the Bellingham high school faculty, represented Bellingham at the convention. Dr. Cotton presided at the annual dinner held Friday evening, and both Mr. Hoppe and Dr. Cotton spoke in a panel discussion on Saturday morning on the subject, "How Can the Colleges Improve the Training of Speech Teachers?" At the request of Kathryn Newell, Blue Triangle president, $45 was allotted by the Board of Control at its Wednesday's session, for the purpose of paying part of the expenses of WWP delegates to Seabeck. The conference will be held the second week in June and any college student desiring to attend may do so. An amendment to the Associated Student Body constitution to be voted upon at the quarterly election, May8, was passed by the board. The amendment calls for a change in the procedure of the selection of faculty representatives to the board.
