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. Inspirecf one
inight by seeing a technicolor movie, he immediately set to
.work the next day and concocted some colored pills. After
swallowing three or four of these pills at night before going
to bed, he is now able to dream in technicolors!' This obviously
: improves his dreams; in fact, he just loves to go to bed early
now!.- If any of our readers are interested, just send in the
top off two history books, and we will send you a free sample
of Corriy Colored Picture' Pills.

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 posted notices that cars
will be needed to take the band and

has arrangements to play for the
Women's Music club on the morn­ing
of April 24, and on the evening

home. Nan Dybdahl Wiik will join ,
the ensemble as vocalist for the

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.

"Although the weather conditions
were not. perfect,. I felt that the
trip was most enjoyable and inter­esting,"
said Miss Ruth Piatt, ad­viser,
in describing the Victoria Ob­servatory
trip that was made last
week-end by students from WWC.
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. She was impressed

which weighs about 45 tons.

no little concern to the usually

"I had a fine time and I re­ceived
