When all other subjects are exhausted or labelled dan g e r o u s ground, about the safest subject to discuss is the weather. Not many people will come after One's scalp if the weather is the topic of conversation. Exception,of course, is Southern California, where bad weather is definitely taboo. Another good safe subject is traffic safety. The Washington state patrol is sponsoring a drive to prevent accidents, especially among pedestrians. And as most of us'ns are pedestrians, we fall under that category. It is OK if one falls "under a category, but for goodness sake don't fall under a truck. Hallowe'en will soon be here and at the risk of offending the kids, we hope they don't do any serious damage. The high school and junior highs have done yeoman work in Hallowe'en sanity in the past few years and much of this credit is due to the pupils themselves. They are beginning to realize that it is more fun to be good than to be destructive. Don Bell, Vising end, drew No. 2 number in the draft registration. And that is one lottery that the boys definitely don't want to win. Early this week the students interested in the advancement of journalism petitioned the faculty committee on student affairs for the formation of a PRESS CLUB. Action by the committee is expected before the regular Interclub Council meeting next week. The club is similar in construction to the one now functioning at Eastern Washington College. Lots of the grads of yester year have been these past few days renewing old acquaintanceships in these halls, of learning. Reason was the WEA regional meeting which drew the teachers like a magnet. We guess this is the finish of this week's edition of this toothless column. If we've offended anything or anybody we're really truly sorry. Honest we are.

An day has been set aside, as one on which the students speak to all theirjfellbw students, whether they have met or not. The theme of the day is to be promotion of a. friendly spirit among all the new students and the old students. .Each student will be given a white "Hello" card to wear all day. The object is to get the signature of every new student that he meets on that day. The "Hello day" idea is a new one at WWC, and was introduced by the AWS. Piledrivers Pound On Last Pile Work on the new Training school being erected on the campus is progressing rapidly, with Thursday seeing the driving of the final piling.
