By Two Typical Tools, Simonds and Goodrich ITS NO LIE! "What have you done?" St. Peter asked, "That I should admit you here." "We wrote a so-called column, sir, Throughout our freshman year." St. Peter nodded reflectively, He knew the column well. "Come in poor tools, select your harps. You've had your share of hell." V V PRATTLE A woman is as old as she looks, but a man isnt old until he stops looking. . . . Goodrich is still under the weather but the specialists who have been working on him say that he will live. . . . J hope he gets well quick, Vm getting tired of all these casket stdesmen pestering me all the time; cheer up, Jim. . . . Gosh, I see that Artie Shaw has gone and gotten married. . . . There must be something to this marriage business. . . . I thought it was just a fad. V V SLEEP (Form No. 1—The Doze).; , . „ _ ; „ _ __ If it were not for dozing—that is, those little naps we steal (well, we don't really steal them) in our literature, psychology, and other classes—the number of mental derelicts, nervous breakdowns, and boarders at the Beanery would be much more. It is best not to wear a n«cktie on your "dozing days" as you can very easily strangle yourself. As you slip off into beddy-bye Jand and your head starts waggin impishly from side to side, it is very easy for your chin to slip down inside your collar and choke you to death. On the type of chairs they have here, dozing is impractical. You rest your chin in your hand and are soon on your way to dreamland. The usual lolling of the head commences. The forehead (the rest of the cranium follows very soon) comes crashing onto the seat in front or coyly slides onto the shoulder of the person next to you. Now you sit right there and read this, I have listened to you long enough. If you are given to lurching and thrashing about when you snooze, you had best stay home at night and get your eight hours. But it all boils down ot the fact that we can't live without sleep— honest! As Cervantes has put it, "Sleep is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot." It doesn't make very good sense, but it sounds pretty and that's all that counts. It is a good quotation and I often think of it just as I am dropping off to sleep. "Sleep is meat for the hungry (yawn), drink for the wirsty, neeve for the old, an— shravels for the pff-prff- porpf-pfrfr fpff-huhhh." Spotlight Falls on Kreisler Monday Climax of Season's Musicals Here Fritz Kreisler, world-famed violinist, will appear in concert at the Bellingham high school auditorium next Monday evening. Because of the war in Europe, Kreisler's engagements on the continent were cancelled. That made it possible for him to accept engagements in various parts of the United States. Kreisler's appearance in Bellingham has been anticipated with sincere pleasure. Following is the program for the concert: "Concerto, C major" (Vlvaldi-Kreisler); "Concerto, D major" (Tschaikowsky); "Cav-atina," "Shepherd's Madrigal," "Malaguena," "Gypsy Caprice," Tambourin Chinois" (Kreisler). Carl Lamson will be the piano accompanist. PERTINENT PROM PLUGS To the Girls: There will be no automatic s.p.'s for the Publications Prom. All girls must apply individually for their own special privilege permit. To the Boys: No advice. Come prepared for a great evening. Contrary to feminine propaganda, corsages aren't expected.

XXXVIX—NO. 19 Western Washington College of Education. Bellingham, Washington Friday, February 16, 1940 Settlement Retrial Holds Up Work on Condemned Hill a few voted WPA Allotment To Clear Hill For College Building; Bebb And Gould Are Architects By Lyman Handy Under plans formulated by the board of trustees at their monthly meeting Wednesday afternoon, WPA work may be employed in, removal of buildings and leveling of the hill of the recently condemned land as soon as the suit is completely settled. H. P. Isler appeared before the board for WPA and presented a plan for the financing of the project. $7300 will be needed for the work, 28% of which must be furnished by the college. R. W. Greene, attorney for Margaret Day and J. B. Harm, appeared before the trusteees, urging the board to raise the evaluation of their properties from $5,000 to $7,000 and $2,500 to $3,804, respectively. The board stated that any decision on the matter would have to be made by the state attorney-general. Accordingly, the trustees voted to accept the jury evaluation. Film Library Discussed Also included in the business of the board was a discussion of a film library. According to plans, the film library would liquidate itself by rentals to local schools. Arrangements were made to raise $1,200 to defray expenses incidental to the appraisal of the condemned land. A call for bids will be issued for the construction of a tunnel to house pipes now in the basement. Bebb and Jones will continue to serve as architects for WWC when the college is ready to continue its building program. The same firm served in the construction of the PE building and ..the library. The members of the board of trustes are: Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, Bellingham, president; Verne Bran-igan, Mount Vernon; and Steve Saunders, Marysville. Folksters Cavort ' Presenting, in costume, a.group of European folk dances, the an- . nual Folk Dancing Festival was held last night in the big gym under the direction of' Mis^./Virginia Hawke, physical education instructor. The cast was composed of the Folk Dancing club and the physical education classes 2 and 27. The dances were in four groups: Northern European, Southern European, British Isles, and American. A miniature orchestra, under the direction of Donald Bushell, furnished the music for the dances. * Thursday Off WWC will observe a vacation next Thursday, February 22, commemorating the birth1 date of George Washington, born in Mount Vernon, Virginia, in the year 1732. .', Washington was "elected the first president or the United' States arid held office for eight years.

Carnival Toll Authorized At the Board of Control's weekly session, it was requested that the WAA be aUowedjtpjJharge 5^cente to each person attending the WAA Carnival on March 2. This will allow the awarding of a door prize. In connection with tonight's Publications Prom, motion was passed to allow alumni to purchase guest tickets for husbands or wives and special students to purchase tickets for escorts. This ruling applies only to this dance. Since the majority of alumni outr side of Bellingham are riot familiar with the recently-adopted ruling on guest tickets for rec hours, a special article will appear in the Collegian next week carrying this information. Copies of this issue will be mailed to those whom it will be decided are most interested. Flunkers' Retests On Tap Tuesday Special retests for students who are deficient and are planning to student teach next quarter will be given next Tuesday at 4 o'clock in room 220.. The retests to be given are in arithmetic reasoning, arithmetic computation, and spelling. Students must pay a fee of $1.00 to the Business office for each test prior to the testing. No one will be allowed to take the tests without a'receipt for each. Clearance of the tests are a prerequisite to student teaching arid students cannot be graduated without passing them. Only 462 of WWC's 940 students went to the polls Wednesday to vote for their student and faculty representatives. With no one candidate getting a majority, the following people were chosen to be placed on the ballot in next week's final elec-toin: for four quarters women's representative, Betty Jean Bayley arid Eileen Forhan; for four quarters men's and women's representative, Harold Booth and Stan Lapin-ski; for.faculty representative, Dr. -HMrrF:^ -Ceders^rir.- arid;r:iDr>v Ev "Ai Bond. Only 245 women and 217 men cast their votes, thus showing that the women were especially lax in regard to voting as they outnumber the men greatly. clinical psych notes Students who would be interested in taking Education 156, Clinical Psychology, 3 crs., Dr. Woodring, during the spring quarter, are requested to report to the registrar's office before 4 p. m., Tuesday, Feb. 20.

All entries should be deposited in the snapshot box at the head of the stairs in the main hall. Candid shots of collegians studying, hiking, and skiing, and campus snaps are wanted. Lince expressed a special desire for snaps of skiing, and informal shots of students in assemblies. The closing date of the contest has been extended until March 1. Dr. Hicks Receives Recognition; As theatre Guild Head U Symphony Due Soon 'Short and Simple Annals of The Poor' Theme of Pulitzer Prize 'Our Town' Building the atmosphere for a' small town in New Hampshire, the actors from the division of drama's winter quarter production, OUR TOWN, may be seen from 3 to 5 o'clock almost any afternoon The stunt in this show, is to>get the ^greatest amount of suggestion with as _ little stage setting as possible. Two tables and a few chairs convert the stage into the respective dwellings of the Webb and Gibbs families, while Main street runs along behind these groupings of furniture. Doris Stevenson, as? Mrs. Webb, and Margatet; Rabb, as Mrs. Gibbs, prepare breakfast in pantomime going busily from imagined kitchen sink to the^^ make-believe cupboards. Carolyn Kuhn as Enuly ^ebb, Bill Bitch as brother !Wally, Paul Glenn as George Gibbs, and Beverly Walker as small sister, Rebecca, eat hurriedly in gobbling pantomimics and hurry up center and off to school. The most important character is the stage manager played by Gordon Morton. In a rather flat, matter- of-fact New England voice, he genially comments on the doings of OUR TOWN. He acts in various roles; first, the village druggist, and •later as the village preacher. Early in the play he calls on Warren Toms, as Editor Webb, to explain OUR TOWN to the audience and gets fussy- Professor Willard, portrayed by.Marshall Bacon, to give facts and statistics about the place. "The short and simple annals of the poor" . .;. this is the stuff 'tt OUR TOWN. Broadway loved it; what Hollywood will do with it will be of great interest, i and' what the division otfia&mft^do^1 with it will be ' f i ^ i m i ^ p B i ? l ^ t B . ^ ^ f d - . .. nesday ^^m^tay, Ftebruaty 28 and 29.

The program will include songs by Brahms, Dvorak, Purcell, Bach, and modern British and American composers. Miss Barbara Custance, Canadian pianist, who played at WWC two seasons ago, will accompany them. Born in Australia, Miss Morris and Miss Anderson went to London to study as soloists, with Harry Plunket Greene. Upon his advice they decided to specialize in two-part singing. Since their first joint recital in London, they have toured the British Isles, Australia" New Zealand, Java, and Hawaii. Two extensive tours were made under contract with the Broadcasting commissions.

Dr. Hicks Receives Recognition; As theatre Guild Head U Symphony Due Soon 'Short and Simple Annals of The Poor' Theme of Pulitzer Prize 'Our Town' Building the atmosphere for a' small town in New Hampshire, the actors from the division of drama's winter quarter production, OUR TOWN, may be seen from 3 to 5 o'clock almost any afternoon The stunt in this show, is to>get the ^greatest amount of suggestion with as _ little stage setting as possible. Two tables and a few chairs convert the stage into the respective dwellings of the Webb and Gibbs families, while Main street runs along behind these groupings of furniture. Doris Stevenson, as? Mrs. Webb, and Margatet; Rabb, as Mrs. Gibbs, prepare breakfast in pantomime going busily from imagined kitchen sink to the^^ make-believe cupboards. Carolyn Kuhn as Enuly ^ebb, Bill Bitch as brother !Wally, Paul Glenn as George Gibbs, and Beverly Walker as small sister, Rebecca, eat hurriedly in gobbling pantomimics and hurry up center and off to school. The most important character is the stage manager played by Gordon Morton. In a rather flat, matter- of-fact New England voice, he genially comments on the doings of OUR TOWN. He acts in various roles; first, the village druggist, and •later as the village preacher. Early in the play he calls on Warren Toms, as Editor Webb, to explain OUR TOWN to the audience and gets fussy- Professor Willard, portrayed by.Marshall Bacon, to give facts and statistics about the place. "The short and simple annals of the poor" . .;. this is the stuff 'tt OUR TOWN.
