itself. No democracy has
ever failed as long as the
people exercised their
constitutional right of
franchise.
Excavation has finally
been completed on the
knoll back of the library.
The sidewalk has been
dug from under tons of
dirt. The base of Sunset
Hill is now visible, and
the PE building stands
out in magnificent grand­eur.
The back of the
library is now visible, un-obscured
by a motley ar­ray
of hill, houses and un­derbrush.
And like some
women's, it's a back to be
proud of. We even heard
a comment that the back
of the library looks better
than the front.
George Dack, head
gardener and sports au­thority,
will soon have
the excavation a lush
green paradise, that will
correspond with the rest
of the campus as a canoe
fits in with a moonlit
lake.
All in all its been a fast
job and a good job. And
best of all, it helps make
a greater Western Wash­ington
college.
Now somebody asks
that they move the li­brary
over so people can
see the non - inhabited
Beanery from the Admin­istration
building.
Well, for goodness
sake.

Hitchcock to Speak

Collegian Chagrined;
Toler Is, Ain't
The Collegian has printed an er­ror.
In the October 4 issue the
wedding of Nadine Toler was an­nounced.
That much is true—but
the Nadine Toler we were talking
about isn't the Nadine Toler that
was married.
Nadine L. Toler is a graduate of
WWC and is teaching at Forest
Grove school in Whatcom county.
She is unmarried. Nadine F. Toler
did get married, so she is Mrs. J. C.
Hanson and there are no longer two
Nadine Tolers. The girls are cous­ins.
It's really all very simple.
SOPHOMORES THROW
BARN DANCE
In an attempt to vary the ordin--
ary Rec hour, the sophomores are
sponsoring a Barn dance tonight in
the Training school gym from 8:30
to 11:30 p. m The gym will be dec­orated
to lend an informal, barny
atmosphere to the dance.
The musicians in Brooke Temple's
orchestra will be properly attired
for a barn dance, and the students
are urged to do likewise. Refresh­ments
will be served at intermission.
A Student Activities ticket, plus one
corny outfit, is the only admission
price.
RAINBOW GIVES DANCE
Eerie noises, a live turkey and the
swing and sweet melodic tunes of
Chuck Sudduth's orchestra are im­probable
but not impossible combin­ations
for a spook dance. Featuring
this strange assortment, the Rain­bow
Girls of Bellingham assembly
No. 17 are sponsoring a Spook dance
at the American Legion hall to­night
Dancing: will be from 9 to 12
o'clock and tickets are 75 cents a
couple. A live turkey will be given
as a door prize. -.All students of
WWC are invited by the Rainbow
girls to dress in ghost outfits and
join the fun.

maidenly charm.
ICC Membership
Given Scribes

the quarter the Ihterclub council
admitted the new journalistic or­ganization,

Bible is Proven Correct Through Science
Asserts Irwin A. Moon at Meetings
By Eric Phillips - v^( ?
Speaking tea large crowd, many of them WWC students, which gathered American Education
around him and his maze of scientific equipment after his sermon from ^ . kl J
science at the first Christian Church, Irwin A. Moon, noted young minister, C o m m i t t e e N a m ed
answered many pertinent and puzzling questions on the Bible and the for­mation
of the earth last Wednesday evening.
"The whole purpose of my work is to bring people to the realziation that
everything in the Bible is true and that they should believe it all; there
is not one single word in the Bible that contradicts itself or is there a
false statement in the Book!" continued Mr. Moon, "and I base this remark
on science itself." v
Trained at Moody
Mr. Moon trained for the minis­try
at Moody Bible institute, which
he represents on- this tour, and at
several theological seminaries. "I
was ordained and started out in
God's work just like any other
young preacher; it wasn^t until 10
years ago that I began to use this
equipment for the Lord's work and
then I wasn't sure that I should. I
have made several tests to find out
whether the Lord meant me to use
all this material and I am sure now
that it is His will," stated Moon.
Being quite a radio fan, Mr. Moon,
no matter where he is, is always in
contact with his wife, who is also a"
licensed operator. "Our first con-
