WWCollegian - 1940 December 13

With the Editor
No question about it,
the propaganda in this
war is getting more and
more subtle all the time.
F'rinstance take this new
ballad, 'The Last Time 1
Saw Paris." It's a catchy
tune, but the jirords and
even music are nothing
more than pure propa­ganda.
Instead of spread­ing
horror stories as they
did in the last European
engagement, they print
nostalgic laments over
the gay state of the
French capital, when last
we saw it, supposedly be­fore
the German occupa­tion.
Not that over half
the school has ever been
to Paris, but we immed­iately
have a kindred feel­ing
with the person sing­ing,
who in turn has prob­ably
never been east of
Hoboken.

Kuder Confirms
Student
Pilot Course
Credit Given Student
Enrollees; Quota
May Be Expanded
Availability of a CAA course for
student pilot training for winter
quarter has been confirmed accord­ing
to Dr. Merle S. Kuder, registrar.
Three quarter hours of credit are
given for the course. All those in­terested
should apply at the Regis­trar's
office.
The course offered retails for $430,
$405 of which is borne by the gov­ernment.
The remaining $25 must
be paid by the student. Word has
been unofficially received that the
quota may be expanded to 20 next
quarter. The number training this
fall is 10. • The government allows
one girl out of every 10 applicants
to enroll for the course. •;
It is not necessary to be enrolled
in the college, providing one has
: completed two years of college work
in any accredited institution.
This quarter's CAA students are
ready for their ground school finals.
They will be taken this Friday
evening, covering civil air regu­lations,
meteorology, and naviga­tion.
. The students are about half-way
through the flight course. Some
are nearly ready for their cross­country
hops. These must be not
more than 50 miles from the home
airport and landings at two strange
airports must be made. All stu­dents
who complete the course re­ceive
a private pilot's license which
entitles them to take up passengers.
bell inspires
Ending four years of varsity foot­ball,
End Don Bell was chosen by
his teammates for this year's in­spirational
award. The award is
given at the end of each football
season to the player thought to
have inspired the team most during
the year. Bell finished his career
this fall in grand style. He will be
missed when next fall rolls, around
and Lappy has to look for some rug­ged
boys to fill the hole.

Edens Carolers
Arise Early
Bright and early Sunday morning
the Edens hall carolers will start
out to wake the town folk to the
tune of Christmas carols.
They will arise about 4 o'clock,
and, after a hot cup of chocolate
in the Blue room, will be on their
way, singing through the halls to
wake the unfortunate freshmen
who must stay at home. They will
take a certain route, which will in­clude
stops at some of the faculty
homes.
On returning to the dorm about
7:30 a. m. they will be served break­fast
by the freshmen girls. There
will also be a short program and
Santa will have a small gift for
each girl. Each gift will be accom­panied
by a verse about the girl.
The caroling group is composed
of any upper-classmen who are will-

Haggard Discusses
College Budget
In order to explain the Western
Washington college budget for 1941-
42, President W. W. Haggard went
to Olympia last Tuesday evening.
Wednesday President Haggard and
heads of other state institutions
were present at a hearing before
Governor Clarence D. Martin and
officials of the State Finance de­partment.
Such hearings take place regu­larly
in the state in order to give
the heads of the various state in­stitutions
an opportunity to present
their case before the state budget is
prepared. Before leaving Dr. Hag­gard
expressed the hope that next
year's WWC budget might remain
intact.

Monday evening the faculty com­mittee
on publications entertained
Al Biggs, WWCollegian editor, and
three of his associates at an infor­mal
dinner in the Edens Hall Club
room.
Miss Nora B. Ctammins, commit­tee
chairman; Dr. Arthur G. Hicks,
Dr. Paul D. Woodring, and Mrs.
Ruth Burnet represented the fac­ulty.
Eric Phillips, associate editor;
Irene Fyhn, news editor; Charles
Kilbourne, feature and Navigator

of the evening. ..'.'., ^
HOME EC TEACHING OFFERED
Students interested in home eco­nomics
may now prepare for a
teaching field in that department
although it isn't mentionedin the
general catalogue, stated Dr. Merle
S. Kuder, registrar, this Week,
Further information may be ob­tained
from the Registrar's office,
the Home Economics department or
Miss Lmta Countryman.
ROBINSON RECEIVES POSITION
-Phyllis Robinson, WWC student,
has just accepted a teaching posi­tion
in Malaga, Wash., according to
Miss Elizabeth Hopper, director of
the Appointment bureau. Miss Rob­inson
will teach tiie first grade and
have charge of physical education
for the upper grade girls. Her
teaching duties begin January 1.
Activities Discussed
By Premies
Meeting to review the various
WWC clubs' fall activities, club
presidents discussed the size, at­tendance,
and special activities of
their clubs at the last ICC meeting.
It was found that most of WWCs
clubs are active, though small, and
that the meetings are well attended.
An Inter-club rally to which new
and non-participating students will
be invited, will be held early in the
winter quarter. This decision was
reached by the Inter-club .council
at its meeting last Thursday in room
aos.
Various, members of the club ex­pressed
the belief that a rally in
which non-participants were made
f amUiars^with-clubs-and-club-activ1*•-
ities would do more to promote the
various clubs of WWC than the
usual rally attended only by club
leaders. A committee was appoint­ed
and the preliminary work for the
rally was begun.
Kuder To Publicize
WWC Activities
In an attempt to publicize WWC,
Dr. Merle Kuder, registrar, has ask­ed
Charles Kilbourne, feature edi­tor
of the Collegian staff and editor
of the 1940 Navigator, to gather ma­terial
and edit a booklet which
would list and illustrate auricular
and extra-curricular activities.
Kilbourne reports, "This edition
will be outstanding for its many il­lustrations."
This publication, similar in size
to the Navigator, will include
courses of study offered at WWC,
vocations, avocations, and other ma­terial
of interest to a prospective
freshman. When completed, the
book will be* sent to all high school
seniors* and to anyone else desiring
information about the college.
The Navigator will be distributed
as in former years to all students
registering at WWC.
Winter Conferences
Call Bond South
Dr. E. A. Bond, WWC mathemat­ics
instructor, will leave at the end
of this quarter for Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, where he will attend a
meeting of the National Council of
Mathematics teachers.
Dr. Bond is chairman of the
Arithmetic Committee of the West
coast. The National council is
completing work on a book, "Appli­cation
of Mathematics in Everyday
Life." .
While in Baton Rouge, he will
attend the New Year's Sugar bowl
football game between Texas A
and M and Fordham university. Dr.
Bond will not be teaching winter
quarter.
TAYLOR WILL SPEAK
TONIGHT AT HIGH
Dr. George E. Taylor, head of the
Oriental Studies department of the
University of Washington,'will speak
at the meeting of the American As­sociation
of University Women to
be held in the study hall of the Bel-lingham
high school, tonight at 8
p. m.
Dr. Taylor, former foreign corres­pondent
for the Manchester Guard­ian,
will speak on some aspect of
the Oriental situation.
Pictured above is the newly organized WWC Symphony orchestra which
appeared in its initial concert last Tuesday evening in the College audi­torium.
The orchestra is composed of 50 members, 30 of whom are students
at WWC. The remainder are. public school music superintendents from
Whatcom and Skagit counties and local musicians.
WWC Opens 1940 Concert Season
Before Appreciative Audience
Western Washington college can well be proud of its symphony orches­tra.
The orchestra should not be proud of Western Washington college.
In the symphony concert Tuesday night, the orchestra played for a mere
sprinkling of students and a majority o f town people.
They weren't perfect, but they were willing and played some very fine
music. The program opened with "Euryanthe Overture" (Weber) which
the orchestra, after a shaky start, performed with distinction. Second was
one of Director Don Bushell's favorites: "Siegfried idyll" by Wagner.
This, mechanically, did not measure up to the other selections, but by
no means was it bad. Wagner's music is extremely difficult, and it is
to the credit of the director that he had nerve and confidence enough in
his orchestra to attempt it.
-.,-The. third selection -featured Dr.:
Arthur Hicks in a piano solo, and
the piece naturally was dominated
by the artistry of Dr. Hicks. How­ever
great his performance, it did
not measure up to some of his con­certos
in the past five years.
The orchestra wound up on the
Polvetzian Dances (Borodin). They
had a rollicking time with the
sprightly piece and finished all
driving.
Despite minor difficulties, such as
nose bleeds in the bassoon section,
WWCs symphony orchestra debut
was definitely a success.

Novel Guild Presentation Introduced
By Chichester With Dickens' Play
By BUI Hatch
Opening a novel production by the Bellingham Theater guild Wednes­day
evening, G. B. Chichester made his way down the aisle to the right
of the opening nighters, took up his position before an improvised fireplace
in front of the regular stage, and with perfect English accent and man­nerism,
began to tell the story of Charles Dickens' "The Cricket on the
Hearth".
As the curtain opens on this Gilmore Brown adaptation of the charming
little story, the audience is treated to the sight of Hazel Seamen; as the very
young Dot Perrybingle, fluttering about the room in anticipation of the
arrival of her husband, her middle-aged, mail-carrier husband.'.With Jonnv
Perrybingle, when he does arrive, is a very old, very deaf gentleman, who
only sits by the fire and reads. As the slow witted, plodding, but well mean­ing
John Perrybingle, Melvin Erickson turns in a highly commendable per­formance.
As Tilly Blowboy, the teen-age orphan whom Dot and John
have taken into their home to tend their newly arrived baby, Jean Scott
gives a laughable, yet realistic performance.
As the story unfolds, we learn that Mr. Tackleton, the rich toymaker^*
case-hardened, thoroughly hateful old rascal, is about to take ta marriage
May Fielding, daughter of a proud, but financially embarrassed fainfly.
May, played by Patricia [Pelegren, WW^
friend of Dot Perrybingle, and of the blind girl, Bertha Rummer, played
by Caroline Kuhn, another WWC student. Caleb Pluinmer, the Mred^yj-A
maker of Mr. Tackleton, is a spare, toll-worn Uttle man whose single Am­bition
is to keep his daughter happy. His attempt to do so is pitiable^
and her rude awakening to their true station in life is a high pohit>in
the play. In this scene Norman R. Burchette, as Caleb, and Miss Kolui
