Council Work :;^^":V'.vTI»e. opinioM; exp«»ied • •$^'f.''p^''-yi^''''iiol!taam, . are;. not i3f£v ^rtbo«saaffly^::ttie *lews of ' = With the filial rounds of t h i s championship match for the Presidential title i»f the United States, including Alaska; Guam, Hawaii, Phillipin-es, Porto Rica, and the Canal Zone, ready to ie tolled up by the voting machine gong, it looks like the Champ has the challenger on the ropes. The last Gallup poll of a cross section of the box-office guessers gives the Champ 453 votes to 78 for the shaggy hair^ ed contender from Indiana, Wall Street, Commonwealth and Southern.. x Using an unorthodox s t y l e , the challenger piled up dn early lead in the opening rounds, but the Champ, veteran of the battles of 1932 and 1936, switched to a special DEFENCE type of offence which has taken steam and fire from the younger contender's punches. The Champ as yet refuses to acknowledge the presence of the challenger in the ring with him. TTie contender's bicycling from one corner of the ring to the other is now over and he has been carrying the fight to the Champ's own corner. Last round, the backers arid managers of the contender screamed "Foul", but the refr eree's decision on the outcome of this movement will come some time later. This next three week-long rounds promise to be the crucial ones for the challenger. If his fighting begins to clock again and' if^fhe'Champ" neglects to spring more of his DEFENCE offence, the challenger stands a chance. In a title defence of this kind, the early round lead means almost less than nothing. It's the final decision of the referees, all millions of them /on November 5, which decides who's the champion and title-holder for the next four years, and that time is only 24 days away. Anyway, we wait with interest the next poll, to judge that for what it's worth as a trend. Haggard Speaks Concerning New Training School; Kuder Discusses Club Goals Pins The Inter-Club council opened its year of activities with an interesting, well-attended rally held Monday evening fa the Blue room of Edens hall. ; In /addition to the 70 club officers and leaders present, were faculty members, Dr. W. W. Haggard, president of the college; Dr. Merle S.. Kuder, registrar; and Loye McGee of the physical education department. Each was a speaker at the meeting. Dr, Haggard spoke concerning the new Training school,, erection of • which was lately begun. Clubs and clubwork in general, with a recommendation that each club have a definite goal toward which to work, was discussed by Dr. Kuder. Frank Shiers, ASB president, presented the Student union report which a committee of seven stu-dentsvand Mr. McGee, the faculty adviser, assisted by Dr. Kuder, had completed last April.

Rogan Jones Gives Ten Radios For the past few years, Rogan Jones, owner of KVOS, has made a practice of giving radios to various schools in the county. Dr. Jack Cotton, in a-recent visit to KVOS happened to mention the lack of radios in WWC. Presto, a couple of days later, there were 10 radios waiting for distribution in the school. These radios will be distributed to the different grades of the Campus school, so that the students of the Campus school will have an opportunity to listen to the Don Lee School of the Air which KVOS plans to inaugurate over its local ..chanTHjjsjsppn._As.we.ll.as this, the broadcasts emanating from the local studio on the campus, featuring college and junior high talent, will be available to the Campus school listeners. VOL XL—NO. 2 .Western Washington Col lege -of. Education; BeUingham, Washington Friday, Ocdiber 11, 1940 We read somewhere of a little note on the progress of the mess in Britain. When Hitler so obligingly smashed Rotterdam to the ground, he freed one Koene Par-mentier, a Dutch flier, of . the responsibility of having a family back in Holland to worry over. Without the club over his head of maltreatment to his loved ones, and feeling that there was nothing to live for, this Parmentier secured a Dutch plane ana" a supply of bombs and now nightly rides the skyways over his /homeland, and bombs the Nazi - held areas. He then drops a note in Dutch warning where he will strike next. The N a z i authorities have offered a reward of $10,000 plunks for his carcass, dead or alive as the Westerners say. But the • Avenger still rides nightly somewhat in the style of the Lone Ranger. H'tyoooo Silver! Dateline . . .

They were taken through the industrial districts, city parks, and outlying districts. Reddington's Only Regret Concerns Rain; Can't Dash In Topless Buggy "My only regret about Bellingham is that I can't ride with the top to my car down," sighed Miss Claire Reddington, new physical education instructor as she sat in her car in the pouring rain and talked about her first time in the northwest. "I've always wanted to come west; it was one of those things I had been always promising myself, but had never done. That was one of the reasons why I took this position when it was offered." Photography is one of Miss, Reddington's favorite hobbies, and she has a great many. By combining her love of taking pictures with her intense enjoyment of travel, she has managed to doubly enjoy the places that she visits: once in person and again as she views the photographs that she has taken. "I just took some colored photographs of Mount Rainier, and I can hardly wait to see ^them. Unlike many amateur photographers, I don't do my own photo developing. I haven't gotten that far yet." m her travels, Miss Reddington has usually stuck to the motto, "See America First," but Ihe has made one trip to Europe. She visited Italy, Austria, Germany anci France. "I certainly would hate to go back there now, and see all the changes that have been made." • "Maine is my maniaA she added. "I've done a lot of camp work there and spend many of my call my adopted home.' Unlike many physical among her-hobbies, cool sub-let from Miss Ruth spends much of her spare itions in that state. It is really what you might lucation instructors, Miss Reddington numbers and knitting. In the apartment that she has reythman in Miss Weythman's absence,she le trying but new recipes.

Guild Presentation Relives Mark Twain; Youngsters Give Fine Performance In the opening night presentation by the Bellingham Theater Guild of "Huck Finn," the Mark Twain characters of 1860, were brought to life i» realistic and dramatic fashion. Despite the fact that only the last part of the book is dealt with, and previous experiences of the characters arcs narrated'In the dialogue, the fine performances turned in by the acton prevents the show from dragging in any scene. Especially fine were the performances turned in by the youngsters in the cast, who gave promise that the Guild will not soon lack in talent. Charles Robinette as "Huck" and Charles Jensen as "Tom" were notable, as was Theresa Thai as the colored girl, Gee Gee. Lorraine Parberry, a student of WWC; and a previous performer in Guild shows, again exercises her ability as Aunt Sally Phelps. ^ <i 5 Probably the most amusing scene of Charles George's version of the Miark Twain story is the one in which Tom and Huck try to get the escaping ''Nigger Jim" to sleep with snakes and rats, and to w r^ his own blood to make his escape more "elegant", after the. fashion ol a prisoner in a story. The protesting Jim is played by Alva Po^ whose performance is even better than that which he turned m as '^004'' in ^"Uncle Tom's Cabin.^ ::- "• :;::.v:' .v,' Vv,;^;.-/-./, .,';V ^;',:;?>S( Lenore WaUace, oUrector, and Alva Potter, stage manager, are deservta^ otablfe hand for thefrfto^ ISF i^S^iMiM!SM§^&^i^^^MA^MM^i

VOL XL—NO. 2 .Western Washington Col lege -of. Education; BeUingham, Washington Friday, Ocdiber 11, 1940 We read somewhere of a little note on the progress of the mess in Britain. When Hitler so obligingly smashed Rotterdam to the ground, he freed one Koene Par-mentier, a Dutch flier, of . the responsibility of having a family back in Holland to worry over. Without the club over his head of maltreatment to his loved ones, and feeling that there was nothing to live for, this Parmentier secured a Dutch plane ana" a supply of bombs and now nightly rides the skyways over his /homeland, and bombs the Nazi - held areas. He then drops a note in Dutch warning where he will strike next. The N a z i authorities have offered a reward of $10,000 plunks for his carcass, dead or alive as the Westerners say. But the • Avenger still rides nightly somewhat in the style of the Lone Ranger. H'tyoooo Silver! Dateline . . .
