Last week we printed a list of those who didn't vote in the hope of shocking them out of their lethargy. For some pitifully few people, it worked.

But for the other supremely indifferent ostriches, heads buried hopelessly in a sand of unconcern, we have nothing but deepest contempt. You, collectively, aren't worth the cost of the lead we'd waste in printing your names. • It all adds up to the same thing. School spirit. The same unconcern was exhibited well at the football games this. fall. It probably will be much in evidence at the basketball games this winter. It seems to us that there are three attitudes prevalent: 1. I transferred up here from the University of Washington where I was a big shot, and why should I waste my talents on this school? 2. I'm only going to WWC for a short time until my folks can afford to transfer me to a real school like the University or Pullman. 3. I just don't give a darn. You make me tired. play the ''Euryanthe Overture" (Weber); Siegfried Idyll" (Wagner); and "Polovetzian Dances" (Borodin).

Holt Jr. Walter Baker Expresses Sorrow On Leaving WWC Halls Walter Baker, Western college track star, who is a member of the 13th district US Naval reserve and is being called to the colors, stated in a recent interview with your reporter that he will leave January 2 for Los Angeles, Calif., for a year's training with Uncle Sam's fleet. Young Baker, who is a sophomore in college, will attend school at the California city for a period of six months. He will study navigation for a reserve commission which he will receive in the near future. * When asked-* how he felt about leaving WWC and dear old Marietta for awhile, Walt stood before me with a glum look and replied, that he doesn't like the idea of leaving college and his home town of Marietta. The 19-year-old student went on to say that a year with the navy would be very interesting and exciting. Upon completion of his year's training he plans 'to return to WWC for further study toward his teaching degree. WWC wishes Walt a bon-voyage and the best of luck during his stay, with the navy. la place of the WWC orchestra performance originally scheduled for the Tuesday, December 10, assembly, the Women's league and Men's club will present the program.

Caroling Jamboree Set for Wednesday Shirley Shannon, president of Western college's new Music Education club wishes to extend an invitation to all WWC students to come to an all-school carol singing jamboree which will be held in room 120, Wednesday, December 11. If there is a good turnout, the club plans to make this event an annual affair'. Faculty members who are interested in the club's activities are also invited. Diploma Freshmen Study Technique .Diploma students of the college problems class will study training school technique for the next week in the Training school. Dr. Merle S. Kuder, registrar, explained that each student has been scheduled for a conference with the instructor of the class that the student will observe the following day. "This will help the diploma students to decide at which level to teach," Dr. Kuder said. Approximately 150 diploma students and other freshmen interested in teaching work will attend primary, elementary or junior high classes. A complete schedule of conferences has been posted on the bulletin board. Conferences and observation classes will begin Monday. Tryouts for Debate Held Tuesday Situated between the Science wing of the main building and Edens hall this memorial is a fitting tribute to the WWC students who died on .Mount Baker in 1938. It is being constructed of materials native to'the area where the tragedy occurred during the annual climb of the mountain. Mount Baker Knoll Memorial Work Nears Completion Dry-walls for the Mount Baker knoll are now being built, as work progresses on the memorial for the WWC students who died on Mount Baker two years ago. The knoll is located on the path going up Se-home hill between the main building and Edens hall, and will consist of a grouping of alpine plants around a central motif of basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region. The central motif of basaltic rock columns on which is to be placed a bronze placque, is now completed. The bronze placque will contain the names, Vene Fisher, Julius Dorn-blut, Alice James, Beulah Lindberg, Maynard Howatt, and Hope Weit-man, all of whom died in the Mount Baker disaster. S. A. Howatt, father of Maynard Howatt, is contributing the plaque, while money for the rest of the work was raised through contributions from the student body, alumni and friends of. the six students. When completed, the knoll will be a beauty spot on the campus. The outer edge of the knoll will be a rock1 bench 18 inches high while the walk-way up to the. knoll will be grass.

Carolyn Kuhn and Pat Pelegren, WWC students, and Maurice Nelson, who received his bachelor of arts degree from WWC, are included in the cast. In the first act of the play, the audience is introduced to a seemingly simple story * of old English life; however, before the end of the play, powerful drama is brought into the picture. "The Cricket on the Hearth" has played on the legitimate stage for over a half century. Joseph Jefferson, in the role of Caleb Plummer made the play famous. Student tickets for either the Wednesday or Thursday performances may be obtained at the Co-op for 25 cents. COLLEGE TRUSTEES MEET Presidents and trustees of the three colleges of education in the state of Washington met in Seattle last Thursday and Friday to discuss mutual problems of the three colleges. President W. W. Haggard, Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, chairman of .the Board of Trustees, Verne Brani-gan and Steve Saunders, members of the Trustee board, represented '-.wwc.-.' •••*••.. Tryouts for positions on the college debate teams will be held next Tuesday at 4 o'clock in room 308, announced Victor H. Hoppe of the Speech department. The tryouts will be open to everyone regardless of whether or not he is enrolled in a speech course. Those who try out should be prepared to give _ . . —+ short, three-minute, extemporaneous C u m C U l u m WTOUD speeches on some debatable problem. • The two teams will be composed of four men and four women students and will debate according to the new system used now by the University of Washington. Under the new system, each member takes his own point of view and develops it by the problem-solving method rather than the old affirmative-negative type of solution. Membership on the debate team will be considered a regular curricu-lar activity but, as yet, the amount of credit to be given has nbt been decided. Hoppe hopes to have the teams ready to accept engagements by the first of the year. CUMMINS WILL ADVISE PDK PUBLICATION To act in the capacity of social science adviser for publication of an educational dictionary, Miss Nora B. Cummins of the Social Science department has been appointed by* the National Phi Den)a Kappa organization. Serving with her will be four other members from various colleges of the United States. Miss Cummins received her appointment, by mail from the National Council for Social Studies in Washington, D. C. The letter sent to Miss Cummins stated in part: "It's the duty of this committee, not to write the terms and definitions but to read, criticize and correct them." Wilbur F. Murra is the executive secretary of the council. Dr. Carter V. Good of the University of Cincinnati is editor-in-chief of the publication. ; Headed by Grim With Dr. Paul R. Grim, Campus school ninth grade teacher, as gen-eral chairman, the Northwest Regional Curriculum Study group, including a large number of WWC instructors, will meet at the Burlington high school Saturday,'December ML". S Dr. Grim will open the conference at 9:30 a. m. with a discussion of organization and general plans for the rest of the school year. The principal speaker of the day. will be W. Virgil Smith, assistant superintendent of schools in Seattle. His subject is, "Using Regional Resources Materials in the Classroom." Following this address, a film, "Northwest Regional Resources," taken at the University of Washington this last summer, will be shown, with Dr. Edgar M. Draper, director of the Resources workshop at the university, as commentator. Organization of sectional groups for the year will be another activity of the meetings, with chairmen to be elected to head the divisions of language, arts, social studies, science, mathematics, and possibly music and fine arts, physical education, and other interest groups. A luncheon and informal round-table discussion of the Northwest Resources Workshops of 1940, led by Draper, Smith, and class-room teachers who were participants at the workshops, will conclude the convention. NASTY FLU BUG KIBOSHES ANOTHER REC HOUR Because of the prevalent epidemic of flu, the Rec hour originally scheduled for tonight has been postponed. May Mead, school nurse, definitely clamped down on the evening's dancing which was to have featured the music of the very popular Chuck Sudduth and his orchestra. There will be no more Rec hours this quarter, as next week-end heralds the opening of closed week, the tradition which darkens social activities every quarter. Upshall Completes Grade Research Dr. C. C. Upshall, of the Research bureau, has completed a study of the correlation between the student's entrance and mid-term ex- . amination grades and their likelihood of success in college. The purpose of the study was to aid in the guidance of entering students. During the fall of 1939, there were , 64 students who were in the lowest 15 per cent on the college aptitude examination. Of the 64, there were 40 who received a D or F at midterm. In the 40'there were only oix to receive a grade point average of 2.0 or better at the end of the first quarter. , From the 40 who were in the lowest 15 per cent and had received a D or F at mid-term, only 15 were enrolled during' the fall quarter, 1940. Of the 15, there were none who received a grade point average of 2.0' or better for the first year and there were only four who were close enough to 2.0 to have much possibility of ever achieving the scholarship standard required for entrance to the Training school. Dr: Upshall concluded, "In the light of the above analysis, students who fall in the lowest 15 per cent and who are also mentioned as doing D or F work in one or more classes at mid-term of their first quarter should be given much more guidance than they received at present. In most cases, this guidance should take the form of helping them find some other occupation PRESS CLUB PLANS FIRST SOCIAL Planning their first party of the year, the newly organized Press club held its last meeting of the fall quarter Tuesday night in the Collegian office. It was decided that an informal party for club members and their invited guests-will be held Thursday, December 12, at a place not yet decided upon. Arrangements for the party are being made by Margare| Dwelle and Neila' Cannon. The constitution committee, headed by Jerry Snow, submitted the revised constitution and reported progress on the by-laws. The next meeting will be held the second Tuesday in January at the home of Mrs. Ruth Burnet, 407 Fifteenth street. All persons interested uv journalism are invited to attend. Choir Will Present Christmas Program Members of the Aftermath club were entertained by the WWC A Capella choir last Monday afternoon at the Aftermath clubhouse. The choir, under the direction of Nils Boson, gave a part of their scheduled Christmas program which is to be presented in the Library of WWC, Sunday afternoon, December 15. • ' * Selections were: Chorales, "How Bright Appears the Morning Star" (Bach) and "Praise God, The Lord, Ye Sons of Men" (Bacli); French carols, "Neighbors," (Gevaert), "Whence Comes That Fragrance" (arr. by Kitson), "Master All" (arr. by Whitehead); a duet, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" (arr. by Dunhill) by Douglas Bird and Elmer Lindquist; "The Three Ships" ^Colin Taylor); a Negro spiritual, "De New Born Baby" (arr. by N. Cain); and the English carols, "Wassail Song" (traditional) and "Good Tidings" (Gloucestershire). UNCLE SAM SNATCHES SAD SAM BAKER Answering a call to the colors January 2 will be Walt Baker, WWC sophomore who will report for naval reserve duty for one year at Los Angeles, California. Baker will attend ^school and study navigation for a forthcoming commission. After completing his studies he will be stationed on one of the navy's battleships *which may - take him to theHawaiian islands. HIGH RATING INSPIRES KLIPSUN STAFF TO BETTER 1940 WORK Inspired by the high rating achieved by last year's annual edited by Douglas Lince, the Klipsun staff of 1941 met together Tuesday afternoon and discussed the arrangement and make-up of this year's book. .Pictures and photography were discussed and it was decided that one more photographer would be added to the staff to take candid shots." Audrene Feldt, art editor, and Dorothy Hubert, associate art editor, were appointed to take the first group of words, which include the faculty photos, to the Western Engraving company in Seattle tomorrow. The staff also decided which pictures would be included in the opening section of the book. hTfs section is a review of a student's four years at WWC*.

One of these, a study of fossils, is being carried oh by the fifth grade under the direction of Miss Edna Channer, fifth grade'supervisor.. The fifth graders, on one of their inspection trips to the site of the new building, found fossil forms and coal specimens which formed the basis of their current geology unit.

The same unconcern was exhibited well at the football games this. fall. It probably will be much in evidence at the basketball games this winter. It seems to us that there are three attitudes prevalent: 1. I transferred up here from the University of Washington where I was a big shot, and why should I waste my talents on this school? 2. I'm only going to WWC for a short time until my folks can afford to transfer me to a real school like the University or Pullman. 3. I just don't give a darn.

There will be no more Rec hours this quarter, as next week-end heralds the opening of closed week, the tradition which darkens social activities every quarter. Upshall Completes Grade Research Dr. C. C. Upshall, of the Research bureau, has completed a study of the correlation between the student's entrance and mid-term ex- . amination grades and their likelihood of success in college. The purpose of the study was to aid in the guidance of entering students. During the fall of 1939, there were , 64 students who were in the lowest 15 per cent on the college aptitude examination. Of the 64, there were 40 who received a D or F at midterm. In the 40'there were only oix to receive a grade point average of 2.0 or better at the end of the first quarter. , From the 40 who were in the lowest 15 per cent and had received a D or F at mid-term, only 15 were enrolled during' the fall quarter, 1940. Of the 15, there were none who received a grade point average of 2.0' or better for the first year and there were only four who were close enough to 2.0 to have much possibility of ever achieving the scholarship standard required for entrance to the Training school. Dr: Upshall concluded, "In the light of the above analysis, students who fall in the lowest 15 per cent and who are also mentioned as doing D or F work in one or more classes at mid-term of their first quarter should be given much more guidance than they received at present. In most cases, this guidance should take the form of helping them find some other occupation PRESS CLUB PLANS FIRST SOCIAL Planning their first party of the year, the newly organized Press club held its last meeting of the fall quarter Tuesday night in the Collegian office. It was decided that an informal party for club members and their invited guests-will be held Thursday, December 12, at a place not yet decided upon.
