BiCHAm^ESKILBOURNE .MILLENIUM- •< f k" :-;'::Ah: ^ ^ V -^ Page Robert Rlipl^! AH records^ at WWC haw been shattered. Never before in the history of this college have the men butnumbered the women at a rec hour. Yes, it's true! At the Junor-Sknior party last week everyone was visibly astonished to see that there were about fifty extra men that nobody seemed to know what to do with. It was paradise for the ladies present. All available gals were snatched up so fast in-between dances that.it made your head swim. It just went to prove the old adage about he who hesitates being lost. Highlight of the affair occurred when Ed Landon was carried out. Somebody was heard to remark, "Oh, well anything for a change!" — DIFFICULTY Asr you may or. may not have noticed, this column has outdone the paper in the number of times-it has had its name changed. Last week we thought we had the answer in the elegant handle. "This Week," but just as we were settling back in our easy chair, overcome with the exertion of thinking it up, some killjoy blandly informed us that the name was out. It would seem that a certain gentleman by the name of Damon Runyan, who is an insignificant columnist working for the Hearst papers, has the selfsame title on his-syndicated column, and what is more, he had had the foresight to have it copyrighted. So here we go again. And that reminds us that we have been requested to announce that the We Girls club will meet next Thursday in the Edens hall club room to take up the question: What did Nelson Eddy see in that woman? RESOLUTIONS . Now is as good a time as any to remind you of all those good resolutions that you made not so long ago, in fact just a little more than a month ago. The theme song of the resolutions should be "Have You Forgotten So Soon?" We sure have. Remember that one about two hours of uninterrupted study each night?. Remember that one about putting a nickje in our bank every day? Remember that one about being late to classes, and that one about being in bed by 10 o'clock? And speaking of songs, we have just composed a new one that ought to take the country by storm. It is called , "You Never Should Have Done What You Did If You Did Mean to Do What I Thought You Were Going to Do." The only trouble that we have had so far is that we can't think of a tune. Safe Skiing Program Planned By Patrol "Prevention of accidents, rather than treatment of injuries is our aim," said Hank Reasoner, secretary-treasurer of the Ski Patrol, last week at the regular ski patrol meeting. ^Numerous-safety,measures -.were,discussecl_lwo, o£ importance being the use of triangular orange flags to designate dangerous slopes and obstructions and the importance of replacing divots, sitzmarks, and bathtubs. The last was considered most important by all the members or the patrol. A skier is in very great danger of a serious fall when he runs into snow pock-marked by the carelessness of thoughtless skiers. The proper procedure to be followed in case of an accident was outlined by Ted Young, vice president, as follows: "If one of your party is injured go yourself to the nearest patrolman. If it is more convenient to go to the lodge, go there and report to the patrolman who will be on duty at the lodge at all times. If you yourself are injured, stop the first skier and have him contact the nearest patrolman. At least seven patrolmen will be on duty each week. The patrolmen are distinguished by an orange shield worn on the upper part of the left arm. A more distinctive identification will probably be used later, consisting of triangular orange pennants affixed to the ski poles of the patrolmen.' • The ski patrol movement was founded in the Lake Placid region several years ago. Prom the beginning, the idea was received with great favor and acclaim by ski instructors and mountaineers who were well acquainted with the dangers peculiar to skiing and. realized the need for safer skiing conditions. The rapid growth of skiing as a sport was equalled by the growth of ski patrols upon practically all the major skiing areas in the United States, m the past, the injuries were handled by the lodge personnel and the foresty service. Both factions were soon swamped and the need for a patrol on Mount Baker was demonstrated. In the few "short weeks since the patrol has been organized, they have trained several members in com,- plete first aid instruction, put on a dance, raised money for supplies, first aid equipment, and sleeping bags, heat pads, etc. They have also engineered transportation, lodging, cheaper meals, ski instruction, and recognition shields for the patrolmen.

Two of the three vacancies are to be filled by a faculty member and a woman student. The other position may be held by either a woman or a man student.

Class Party Makes School History Startling example of the new collegiate spirit at the Western Washington college was shown last Saturday night at the Junior-Senior" dance. . "The party was a success," said Helen Boothe, chairman. "However twenty-seven men languished in the stag line while the wall flowers were nil." It marked a new era for the college whose initial male population in 1898 numbered only two. The Junior-Senior dance has set a new, precedent which has Only been equaled by a summer rec hour which boasted an even number of males for the same quota of females.

Broadcasts Give Opportunities .Under the sponsorship of station KVOS the WWC Collegian broadcasts every Thursday afternoon from 3:45 to 4 o'clock. Besides teaching the writing of radio continuity station KVOS officials are searching for owners of pleasing voices and personalities who might be interested in making radio their profession. . New voices are tested each week to,read from the galleys until satisfactory sties are found to report straight hews, sports, and society. As yeV only two permanent, staff members have been chosen. When asked their opinions on this new venture of the Collegian many of the "faculty and students were disappointed that they were unable to hear the broadcast because of the inconvenience of the time. •' Metal Lathe Purchased t For the first time last week, the. South Bend metal working lathe,, purchased last spring by the industrial arts department, was used on a school job: The school engineering ; department used it to face eighteen discs of hard rubber to fit into steam pipes. The "facings' used to be machined at a regular shop at the cost of 15c per cut; the job saved the school $2.70. The purpose of the lathe is to furnish fittings for the school projects which the campus school uses in its shop-work classes. . The campus school classes in electricity for instance, make electric soldering irons. Some of the "crude" parts making these irons are roughed out on this lathe. It therefore makes possible certain projects for eighth and ninth grades which would otherwise "be so costly. Mr. Ruckmick says, "This could be only the beginning of many such jobs that, can be done for the benefit of the school." Ruckmick Film To Be Seen Colored movies of Mexico will be shown this evening at 8 o'clock by Herbert C. Ruckmick, photography instructor, in the college auditorium. Ruckmick will personally make explanations and tell of his trip. These pictures are of the interior of Mexico and the life of the Mexican, portraying his quaint and interesting customs. Several hundred feet of film showing the Pueblo and Navajo Indian tribes was taken in Southwestern United States. In addition to the movies there will be a number of colored slides which were taken on the trip. .^ ~ Students will be admitted upon presentation of their student tickets.

"Originality, appropriateness, and the bam yard characterizations," the costume represents will all be taken into consideration in the judging,' announced Helen Cory, prize chairman. She went on to state* "Anyone coming without costume may feel very much out of place." Door prizes are also to be awarded. Al Biggs, gym decoration chairman, has been working on plans to haye the refreshment bar, orchestra pit, and faculty section in appropriate barnyard setting. Plans are to have Mrs. Ruth Burnet* Miss Anna UHin, and Dr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Hicks, who are scheduled to be the faculty sponsors, .sit in a hay wagon during the dance. Jay Curtis is bringing his orchestra costumed to match the occasion. The dance nurbers they: are to play consist of waltzes, polkas,,two-steps, rye waltzes, tuxedos, and schottisch-es. "Dances will, however, not be so extreme students will find difficulty dancing them," explained Wanda Barci, publicity chairman. A novel floor show has been planned for intermission. Prexy Speaks Luttchiedn Fisher Answers Kaigler On Charge of Radicalism At Washington Club Today : President C.H., Fisher, will answer at the Washington club luncheon today charges of radicalism in the college and other accusations made by William Kaigler, chairman of the American Legion Americanism program, at the club meeting last week.

Since New college is conceded to be an outstanding school for the preparation of teachers, its future is of vital interest to all American educators. -•'• Despite the acclaim heaped upon the school by college authorities, Columbia officials have decided to close New college, stating that they lack finances to continue operation^ The petition, sent to Presideht Fisher last week, asks for the support (if the WWC faculty in a cooperative plea from teachers colleges all over the country for the continuance of the school. Touring abroad and working-on farms, and in industrial districts are all a part of the modern teacher's training course at New college. The prospective teachers hot only study in collegiate centers, but they spend a good deal of time studying the workaday life abroad. Training- Social In the opinion of many school of-ficials the average American student is being prepared too much for college and not enough for citizenship. Fulfilling this need and the need expressed by President Fisher in assembly last week, New college endeavors to prepare teachers who will be qualified for leadership in solving ' the social problems con-, fronting the democracies today,,; . The petition summarizes the purpose of the college briefly: "New college has consistently planned a program which provides intimateac- .:x|ujajfe^cftja^ everyday-life of home, school and marketplace." Valkyrie ShoWs Fine Spirit Soukup Praises Their Good Support at Game; Norsemen Save Section "I was more pleased than surprised at the activity of. the Valkyrie girls at the University of Mexico basketball game. My only hope is that the peppy spirit will prevail throughout the year," said Clarence Soukup, ex-Viking editor, who has in the past been one of the most forceful critics of the club. The Norsemen are co-operating with the Valkyries by roping off a part of the bleachers for them at the games so that they may turn out en masse and present a solid rooting section. In this way they hope to be a stimulus to the student body and induce more enthusiasm at the games. • The band's snappy uniforms and stirring music, the Norsemen's blue and white rooting caps, anaV'tne Valkyrie girls' blue sweaters, lend a colorful, and spectacular atmosphere to WWC's athletic contests. do Horizcwi Friday, February 3 8' p.

Besides teaching the writing of radio continuity station KVOS officials are searching for owners of pleasing voices and personalities who might be interested in making radio their profession. . New voices are tested each week to,read from the galleys until satisfactory sties are found to report straight hews, sports, and society. As yeV only two permanent, staff members have been chosen. When asked their opinions on this new venture of the Collegian many of the "faculty and students were disappointed that they were unable to hear the broadcast because of the inconvenience of the time. •' Metal Lathe Purchased t For the first time last week, the. South Bend metal working lathe,, purchased last spring by the industrial arts department, was used on a school job: The school engineering ; department used it to face eighteen discs of hard rubber to fit into steam pipes. The "facings' used to be machined at a regular shop at the cost of 15c per cut; the job saved the school $2.70. The purpose of the lathe is to furnish fittings for the school projects which the campus school uses in its shop-work classes. . The campus school classes in electricity for instance, make electric soldering irons. Some of the "crude" parts making these irons are roughed out on this lathe. It therefore makes possible certain projects for eighth and ninth grades which would otherwise "be so costly. Mr. Ruckmick says, "This could be only the beginning of many such jobs that, can be done for the benefit of the school." Ruckmick Film To Be Seen Colored movies of Mexico will be shown this evening at 8 o'clock by Herbert C. Ruckmick, photography instructor, in the college auditorium. Ruckmick will personally make explanations and tell of his trip. These pictures are of the interior of Mexico and the life of the Mexican, portraying his quaint and interesting customs. Several hundred feet of film showing the Pueblo and Navajo Indian tribes was taken in Southwestern United States. In addition to the movies there will be a number of colored slides which were taken on the trip. .^ ~ Students will be admitted upon presentation of their student tickets.

Since New college is conceded to be an outstanding school for the preparation of teachers, its future is of vital interest to all American educators. -•'• Despite the acclaim heaped upon the school by college authorities, Columbia officials have decided to close New college, stating that they lack finances to continue operation^ The petition, sent to Presideht Fisher last week, asks for the support (if the WWC faculty in a cooperative plea from teachers colleges all over the country for the continuance of the school. Touring abroad and working-on farms, and in industrial districts are all a part of the modern teacher's training course at New college. The prospective teachers hot only study in collegiate centers, but they spend a good deal of time studying the workaday life abroad. Training- Social In the opinion of many school of-ficials the average American student is being prepared too much for college and not enough for citizenship. Fulfilling this need and the need expressed by President Fisher in assembly last week, New college endeavors to prepare teachers who will be qualified for leadership in solving ' the social problems con-, fronting the democracies today,,; . The petition summarizes the purpose of the college briefly: "New college has consistently planned a program which provides intimateac- .:x|ujajfe^cftja^ everyday-life of home, school and marketplace." Valkyrie ShoWs Fine Spirit Soukup Praises Their Good Support at Game; Norsemen Save Section "I was more pleased than surprised at the activity of. the Valkyrie girls at the University of Mexico basketball game. My only hope is that the peppy spirit will prevail throughout the year," said Clarence Soukup, ex-Viking editor, who has in the past been one of the most forceful critics of the club. The Norsemen are co-operating with the Valkyries by roping off a part of the bleachers for them at the games so that they may turn out en masse and present a solid rooting section. In this way they hope to be a stimulus to the student body and induce more enthusiasm at the games. • The band's snappy uniforms and stirring music, the Norsemen's blue and white rooting caps, anaV'tne Valkyrie girls' blue sweaters, lend a colorful, and spectacular atmosphere to WWC's athletic contests. do Horizcwi Friday, February 3 8' p.
