Ullin, Hopper Lead Mount Baker Journey Hikers Leave Tomorrow From PE Building For July 4 Week-end .Up the mountain to Kulshan cabin they will go, approximately 40 people, led by Chet Ullin and Miss Elizabeth Hopper, leaving Thursday morning, July 4, from the PE building at 7:30 a. m. They will take their own lunches and cups, and will be met at the trail by the packer, who will take in their personal equipment. Leaving- Wednesday noon, the packer, the cook, Miss Ruth Weyth-man, and the work crew, plus the food, will hike in to set up camp and get the cobin in order. Fleda Whitten will be the cook, ably filling the one requirement of the job —that she be a good one. There will be a few K. P. duties for individuals, but only a few. Dinner will be waiting for the party at Kulshan cabin when they reach there Thursday evening. The first of three big campfire programs will be held that night, with singing, games, and tall-tale-telling predominating. The itinerary of the trip includes a hike up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, the Mount Baker summit climb on Saturday, with meadow and glacier trips for those who remain at the cabin, and the trip out Sunday.v The party will be made up of both seasoned hikers and inexperienced people. Don Coss, a member of the Mount Baker hiking club, will accompany the party, and C. A. Fisher, assisted by Chet Ullin, will lead the summit climb A short meeting was held Monday afternoon to instruct hikers concerning clothes and other dunnage, and to examine their shoes. Sunday, after a huge breakfast, the party will return, with four days of sunshine, gorgeous scenery, outdoor life and companionship, good food, and a whole .mountain, tucked away in their memories—all for $5. Baker Memorial Selected By Irene Fyhn Consisting of alpine plants and basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region a landscape group has been chosen as the memorial for the six students who died in the Mount Baker tragedy last summer. It is felt by the committee who have chosen this form of memorial, that bringing the alpine beauty from the Mount Baker region will be a fitting memorial for these students, Beulah Lindberg, Alice James, Hope Weitman, Julius Dornblut, Vene Fisher, and Maynard Howatt, all of whom died on Mount Baker. Nobel Hoggson, Seattle landscape architect, has '>. prepared complete drawings of the ^proposed memorial. It is to be located near the path going up Sehome hill between the Science wing of the main building and Edens hall. Garden Setting Columns of basaltic rock will form the central motif around whichNwill be grouped alpine plants in their natural rock garden setting. Around the memorial itself will be a basalt rock seat, giving an amphitheater effect. On the basaltic columns will be placed bronze name-plates with the names of the students for whom the memorial is erected. The committee, which consists of both students and faculty members, reports that the U. S. forestry service has consented to the removal of the basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region, and the CCC has offered to bring the rock to the campus. Funds necessary for the building of this memorial have been subscribed by friends of the deceased, and between 1300 and $400 are available. The committee states, however, that it may become -necessary to solicit additional funds from the students attending WWC, but the committee hopes that this will not be necessary. It is the plan now to get the work well under way by the end of summer. VOL. XXXIX—NO. 3? Western Washington College of Education^Bellingham, Washington Wednesday, July 3, 1940 Headquarters For Mount Baker Climb Hayes Teaches Flute Lessons To Daughter As Hobby By Lela Kaufman "My hobby right now is trying to teach my daughter to play the flute,'' said Mr. Creighton E. Hayes, social science teacher of West Seattle high school, who is pihch-rHttihgfor Dr. GrimTfor thesummer session of the training school. He spends the week-end with his family at his summer home on the Stillaguamish river where his wife and daughter, Beatrice Jean, stay when they are not taking care of the lawn at their Seattle home. As yet the flute teaching has been indifferently successful, and Beatrice Jean is still just an excellent piano player for a 12-year-old. Interested in the history of Asia and Central America, Mr. Hayes offers an elective course entitled History of the Pacific Rim to seniors at West Seattle high school. For one semester they orient themselves to a study of Russia, Japan, China, and the Pacific islands; for the next they study the history of Mexico, Central America, and Canada. He finds that most of the people he meets are quite ignortant regarding the history of these nations which he thinks will become increasingly important to Americans, especially dwellers of the Pacific coast. One of his ambitions is to visit United States' neighbors about which he reads and thinks so much. Asked about his other interests, the young - looking, gray - haired instructor smiled and said, "That's about all. Occasionally I play a very mediocre game of golf and once in a while I crawl up with fear and trembling on a horse." Having received his undergraduate education at Washington state college at Pullman, Mr. Hayes, has, ACE Plans Lunch At Edens Hall WWC's Association for Childhood Education has planned a luncheon to be held next Wednesday, July 10, at 12:00 noon in the Edens hall club-room off the main dining hall. Informal talks will be given by students from various ACE groups both in and outside the state. ACE members and .anyone interested in primary education, are invited to attend. Tickets may still be obtained for 35 cents at noon today in the main hall, and. also next Monday at noon and from 2:00 to 4:30 p. m. July 8, 9, and 10, there will be a display in the main hall of ACE publications including the "Childhood Education" mag«*me and various pamphlets. Anyone wishing to purchase any cad of these publir cations iWf do so at this time. as he expressed it, "Kind of smat-tered my education over the Pacific coast." He has studied at Stanford, University of Oregon, and the University of Washington. A typical Washingtonian, and proud of it, he was born in Olympia. All of his teaching has been in Washington, much of it at Lincoln high school in Seattle. Somewhat overwhelmed by an interview to which there was no word limit, he kept declaring that there was nothing about him to make good reading, that this was the first time anyone had cared about the life of a simple school teacher. He volunteered . that one of his most vivid impressions of Bellingham has been the way everyone has gone out of his way to make it easy for a newcomer. Mr. Hayes visited Dr. Grim this spring to learn what the program was to be. Then Dr. Grim spent the first week of summer school doing all he could to make his work easier. "Of course it isn't necessary for everyone to be so kind, but i appreciate it," Mr. Hayes said. Twelve More Get Positions Twelve more students have been assigned positions through the appointment bureau as reported by Miss Hopper. They are the following: Ralph DeBruler, Ocean City, fifth to the eighth; Helen Griffith, Lake Burien, music; Leonard Rod-land, Bay Center, seventh and eighth; Alice Molenkamp, Sedro- Woolley, seventh and eighth; Kenneth Bernet, Sultan, seventh and music; Blanche Campau^ Sultan, fifth; Eleanor Wfflison, Oak Harbor, third;,Jean•Cowie, Marysvffle- Shoultes school, first to third; Marie Beebe, Port Gamble, primary; Doris Woodcock, Sequim, sixth and sev-enth; Frank Anderson, Maple Valley, fifth and sixth; Lois Reid, Maple Valley, second and third, and music. Eighty-six Students Take Mantoux Tests on Monday Mantoux tests were given, to 86 summer students Monday morning between 10 o'clock and 12. They were administered in the college health department by Dr. Earle Gibb of the Gibb clinical laboratory and assisted by. Miss Dorothy Run-die, nurse. Miss May Meade- had general charge of the procedure, with Miss Helen Hostetter and Miss Nadine Toler secretaries. The college bears all costs of the tuberculosis indicating tests. Many took advantage of this opportunity because a state law requires that each teacher have a Mantoux test. Wednesday, 48 hours later, a follow- up reading was given by Miss Meade and Miss Rundle. Questionable cases were referred to the Gibb laboratory and all persons showing a positive reaction are required to have an X-ray follow-up. The cost of the X-rays must be taken care of by the student. Health Exams Completed Health examinations were given to approximately 400 new students. The entire first week and Monday and Wednesday of the following week were devoted to the routine inspection. Supervised by Miss May Meade, the examining was done in the PE building. . Physicians who were employed by the college health department were Drs. William C. Keyes, Donald C. Keyes, Howard C. Keyes, C. L. Long-streth, F. C. Rykken, and A. M. Son-neland. Only two students were eliminated from enrollment because of ill •health. "The students as a whole are in pretty good physical shape," stated Miss Meade; ''although they need more rest." ' There are to be no general checkups of the summer health examinations, although where such cases showing a need for it, will be fol-lowed- up.. Regional Meet Draws Near Final Climax Kefauver, Ogburn Speeches Summarized; Sessions End Today By Victor Dickinson "Democracy is on trial. The threat to democracy is not all in Europe but lies chiefly in the United States and our ability to meet the challenge to make democracy work," was the key statement made by Dean Grayson N. Kefauver of Stanford University in his address before the regular assembly Tuesday morning. Dean Kefauver's speech was a part of the three-day meeting of the Educational Confer^ ence of Pacific Northwest Affairs which concluded this morning. Tells Experiences Dean Kefauver recounted his experiences in the European capitals of Paris; Berlin, Moscow, Stockholm and London, and his conferences with leading educators of these cities. Maintaining that education cannot be understood unless it is seen as a part of the social and cultural patternofc a country. Dean Kefauver searched for the social aims behind the educational system of each country he visited. He pointed out the striking contrast in the thinking of the. educational leaders of Berlin and Moscow as compared with Paris.iand London^ The importance of democracy in education was1 outlined by Dr. Kefauver who placed emphasis on the concept of democracy within a staff of teachers' democracy in student life and control of the school;j-Jde^- •-. mbcracy in the classroom andftd£^: mocracy as it affects the community. Dr. Kefauver's address ended in a note of optimism but he stated, "We haven't fully arrived in America. We need to have faith. We must capture the imagination of youth. We cannot present pessimistic faces and teach democracy. We must have trust for we cannot afford to fail. Ogburn Speaks Predicting that the United States in the next 30 years will witness as startling a technological advances as has been experienced in the past 30 years, William F. Ogburn, University of Chicago sociologist, concluded the three day program of the conference on Northwest affairs being held at the college. Among the promising inventions listed by Dr. Ogburn were: television, manufacture of artificial climate, the small diesel engine, mechanization of agriculture, use of alloys, use of the electron tube or electric eye, talking books or records to run from one to two hours, and facsimile transmission of newspaper, already inaugurated in 1939 by the St. Louis Dispatch.
