W$M$M0WFWWW&%WM ffv By CHARLES KILBOURNE LOST Last fall, the government issued some new nickels. These were named in honor of.one of our great presidents, Thomas Jefferson. However, nobody has seen them since. The treasury officials claim to know nothing of their whereabouts. Bankers seldom see one. It looks as though someone has at last committed the perfect crime. This is really a shame, because they were such pretty nickels. They had such a pretty roseate hue, that wasn't due to the sun setting on them, either. In fact, they had so much copper in them that the government "would be overjoyed to have to make another batch. They should holler; it only costs about three cents to mint the new corns. Maybe they were all gathered up in that New York subway "deal" last fall. COLDS The nurse's office at this school reports that by far the largest number of absences from school due to sickness are caused by the common cold. This is true all over the country. So far there seems to be no way of preventing colds except by building up resistance. However, for many people this is hard to do. It has been estimated that the annual loss due to colds amounts to nearly a billion and a half dollars. Scientists everywhere are doing their best to find out what is the exact cause of this malady. Some believe that it is due to a germ, others to body conditions, but none have been able to devise a specific. An eastern health board put the cost of an average head cold at around $15—-or slightly less if one doctors with the cheaper blends. RANDOM THOUGHTS Already the baseball workouts on the east coast have started. The big leagues are tossing the ball on the sunny strands of Florida. Back in New Xork» Dewey traps Manton off first while Hines. waits nervously at the plate. . . . Hitler's little speech to the German peoples makes his stand quite clear. He is planning on running the late Huey Long's share-the-wealth shakedown from an international basis. . . . The Anacortes town council plans action on the numerous protests they have received that the, collar on the local beer is too high. No halfway measures, we hope Firemen were overcome as cabbage smoldered in the western warehouse blaze. Still the hunt goes on for a good 5-cent cigar. . . . Something different on the political scene is Vice President John Garner, who gives us the old Coolidge silence with a Texas accent. ..... . Let's see— have we defied the Nazis; have we told the Japanese where to get off; have we had our daily iron? "Foul Deeds Arise" Swa nson Cwrii<e s "Foul deeds will rise . . .," declared Boyd Swanson today. "Man delights me not; no, nor woman either. The play's the thing." Murder, confiscation, revenge and a duel to the death: action, action, action, fill the stage and eddy backstage as the cast for Hamlet rehearses final scenes this afternoon. Swanson, who plays the lead role, Hamlet, has played character parts since grade school days, has played everything from a singing cowboy, to Marc Antony in "Julius Caesar/' To him acting is a hobby; he prefers to direct chorus singers. Carmen Ek, actress, playwright and writer, who plays Hamlet's mother, the queen, plans to write for the radio field. The above scene is from the cast in rehearsal. Gala Affair Promised At WAA Carnival Booths abound and barkers sound at the WAA Carnival starting tonight at 8:30 in the training school gym. One-twentieth of a dollar buys admission and all the dancing time allows, besides a chance on a valuable door prize. Since there will be many games of skill Co-Chairman Natalie Smith advises everyone to start throwing things to get in practice for tonight. "The door prize is something tremendous," declared Bea Armstrong with fervor during an exclusive interview with the committee chairmen. "Don't forget the fortune-teller," chimed in Miss Smith, "but she doesn't want it known who she is." "Tell them about being able to telegraph anyone in the hall," added1 Edith Meenk. Clothing is no object although persons owning peasant hankies and such may wear them. Otherwise, informality is the keynote. The varied attractions have been designed to appeal to every student in school. Instead of sending corsages, the fellows may buy a chance at some game of skill and win the girl friend a trophy, providing she does not beat him. As for refreshments, the usual carnival method of dispensing them will be in order. M&%>Wi!^^^$$$?^ wwc IH^SiiiiiiSS^^^S imm ian VOL. XXXVIII—NO. 19 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, February 17. 1^39 Activities Studied Book Store Committee Designed To Study Co-op Activities Formed by Board of Control As the result of a long book store study made by the Board of Control, the board in last Wednesday's meeting in the Associated Students office, went a step further by forming a book store committee. The book store committee, designed to carry on future study of WWC's Co-op. activities, is comprised of three board members, two of them being students and the other a faculty member appointed by the board president. Miss Charlotte Richardson of the industrial arts department is the faculty member while Alice Siemons and Wayne Weber were the students chosen by the board. The students appointed by the board are to be permanent members of the book store committee as long as they remain on the board. This committee is to meet monthly with the book store manager and ex-officio President Fisher for the purpose of advising the book store on different policies, and financial matters which ultimately arise. The committee is then to report to the board on matters discussed and passed upon in these meetings. Another matter receiving discussion by the board was the report on Wednesday's election by the election committee composed of Wayne Weber, Dr. Paul Grim, and Pauline Barnes. Because none of the candidates received a majority, a runoff will be held later.- Mexican Fiesta Dance Theme Limited Number of Tickets to Be Issued for Winter Prom; Burlap Programs Are Featured Have you senoritas decided on whom you are taking to the Associated Women Student's "Mexican Fiesta" dance at the Leopold hotel, Saturday night, February 25? Because there is a limited number of programs, the women are advised to sign the permanent list today. Borrowing the colorfulness and the uniqueness of our Latin neighbors, Helen Trickey and her committee have already begun working on decorations. Using bright reds and yellows, cacti, sombreros, and ser-apes, the outer lobby of the ballroom will be transformed into a typical scene of old Mexico. Even the burlap programs will add to the gayety with their cactus stamped covers. "Because the Associated Women Students dances are so popular, we are forced to limit the number of programs in order that the Crystal ballroom will not be overcrowded. This is a case of the early bird getting. the worm, and I hope the girls will sign early," said Helen Cory, chairman. Pep Band Travels To Ellensburg Next Thursday, February 23, Donald Bushell, director, takes twenty-six members of WWC's school band to Ellensburg with the basketball team. He expects to give the team great moral support and at the same time entertain the fans. The members going are: Clarinets, Charles Fisher, Clayton Knittel, Alvin Carr, Mar-jorie Schroeder, Kenneth Husfloen, Arian Anderson, and Robert Rum-sey; saxaphones, Leroy Holcomb and Jane Mac Williams; piccolo, Martha Wheeler; drums, Lauda Utiacz and Marcia Kimball; trumpets, Richard Lindstrom, Glenn Lund, Robert Fritz, Josephine Allen, Frank Edwards; horns, Barbara Bowdish, Eugene Olmsted, and Lloyd Ros-tad; baritone, Vivian McGrath; trombones, William Wolfe, Taylor Snow, and William Goninan; basses, Earl Eckert and Norman Funk. "If anyone kicks about economy," says Mr. Bushell, "I want it known that the band members are buying their own lunches in Ellensburg, and are also pressing their own uniforms." Ejection Finals To Run Off Next Tuesday No Majority Vote Cast; McGee And Rupert Finalists in Election Race; Students Cast 440 Votes Chosen from four candidates of the election last Wednesday, Helen Cory and Jean Morgan won the candidacy for the fourth quarter woman representative to be voted upon in the final election Tuesday, February 21. The run-off election is to be held next Tuesday instead of Wednesday because Wednesday is a holiday. John Ellis and Mike Baker were judged finalists for the fourth quarter man or woman representative, while L. A. McGee and Evelyn A. Rupert were chosen for the faculty representative to the Board of Control. Katherine Newell and Margaret Peasley were selected for four quarter woman representative to fill the vacancy left by Betty Shay, who is not attending WWC. The winners of the run-off election to be held next week begin their term the beginning of the spring quarter. An especially close vote was cast Wednesday^ There were only 440 votes in all. Statistics show that about 50 per cent of the student body voted. A larger percentage of men than women voted. ' WWC Student Clue Found A skeleton -found near Everett is being checked by the state patrol to determine if it is that of Robert Barnhart, a former honor student of this college. Barnhart, a teacher in the Bryant school at Seattle, left that city on January 8, 1938, with the declared intention of going to Everett to see a dying friend, Florence Lund, 1937 student body president of WWC. He was seen in Chehalis after apparently changing his mind, and it was concluded that he had gone to Cali-fonia. Miss Lund died soon after and nothing has been heard of Barnhart since. The skeleton is evidently one of a suicide, but articles found near the body do not compare with any possessions of Barnhart. EmploymentMeeting Planned World Famous Ballet Troupe To Present Concert Here Former Student Wins Acclaim Critics Praise Singer's Debut At Town Hall Late in January; Plan World's Fair Engagement All those interested in part time employment are to be in room 108, Monday at 4 oclock. Acting dean of Men Loye A. McGee has requested that all those who come to the meeting, come with ideas as to the kind of part time employment in which they would be interested. Mr. McGee feels that there would have been "twenty or thirty more men going,to school this quarter if there had been a way for them to earn sufficient money. By Bob Chamberlain "It looks so easy!" That is the exclamation one hears in almost every audence of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, which will be seen here February 22, under the auspices of the Civic Music association. No greater compliment could be paid these world-famous, glamorous inheritors of a great tradition. For when it looks so very, very easy and still excites you by its fluid beauty, you may be certain you are witnessing championship dancing. Only the rigors of years of masterly training, of hours and hours of daily perspiring, of study and practice can achieve such surehess, such lightness, such effortless grace. And when each point of technique flows into the other, making a pattern of continuous movement in the same way drops make up a stream of water, that is the balletic art at its best. Mia Slavenska who has the lead in "Gaite Parisienne," the ballet to be presented next Wednesday evening in the Bellingham high school . auditorium, is not only famous on ..two .continents as a great classic dancer,, but as an accomplished mime and dramatic actress ranging the whole gamut of human emotions, as well. Every part she acts and dances, she makes unforgettably her own. Aside from the electric appeal the costumes and scenery have for the eye, the action and atmosphere conspire to take the spectator into different worlds. In a single night the spectator is carried away along a whole gamut of fairy tales, romance and illusory worlds. Ex-Students Among Queen Candidates Carol Hughes and Kathryn Mc- Mahon, former WWC students, have been nominated as candidates for Queen of the Eagles,' Spring Festival, to be held in May. Seven young Bellingham women have been entered in the contest. Each has chosen a manager who will handle her campaign. The girl who wins the queen contest will represent Bellingham and the state of Washington at the San Francisco fair this summer, with the free airplane trip and all honor and entertainment. . • Miss Hughes, who is an employe of the J. B. Wahl company, is well known for her work with the Theatre Guild. She is a sister of Evelyn Hughes, assistant in the business office. y Miss McMahon is employed by the telephone company. RUR Continues Tonight At Local Theatre Guild Miss Ellen Repp, soprano and former WWC student, recently won wide acclaim when she made her debut at Town Hall, New York, late in January. A former Everett girl, Miss Repp was a student of the University of Washington and taught school in Seattle before going east. Students who attended WWC summer quarter last year will remember her concert here at the college. Miss Repp's plans for the future include a return concert at Town Hall and engagements during the World's fair which opens this year in New York. Critics have acclaimed Miss Repp's Town Hall performance as an outstanding success. The following are comments from well known newspapers: the New York Times, "Miss Repp made known a voice inherently voluminous and rich"; the New York Sun, "Miss Repp exhibited a voice of excellent natural quality and color," and the New York Herald-Tribune, "Miss Repp's voice is naturally one of good texture and voluminous." Miss Repp was known here as Ellen Reep. Kuder Takes Census Of Workers By Sybil Hinchliffe Extremely effective and well staged, best characterize "R. U. R." -— "Rossom's Universal Robots"— current Theatre Guild production, which opened Wednesday night at the Civic Playhouse. Stage settings and costumes add much to the presentation. The play is strongly cast. The tempo, although a little slow at the beginnings of the first and third acts, is very good. The play appears the last times tonight and tomorrow night at 8:15 p. m. Bacon, WWC Student, Good Marshall Bacon, WWC student, who plays the role of Dr. Gall, head of the experimental department, is good; Melvin Erickson as Consul Busman, business manager, and Norman R. Burchette as Mr. Alquist, architect, bring their two characters to life. Erickson adds humor to the. situation while Burchette portrays pathos and drama in excellent fashion. Ronald Lund as Harry Domen, general manager, and leading man, steadily improves as the play progresses. Zelda Becker as Helena Glory, is stiff and unconvincing. At times, though, she does shake off self-consciousness and then she acts naturally. Don Robertson as Mr. Fabry, general engineer, and Cecil Bacon as Dr. Hallemeier, both turn out fine characterizations. "R. tf./it," Unique "R. U. R.," written by the late Karel Capek, Czech writer of note, is a unique and fantastic melodrama. The play, so it seems to this writer, is a subtle crack, aimed directly at realism and atheism.and indirectly at certain European dictators who are so brazen as to assume that they know more than God—that they are The Rulers. Interesting figures divulged by Dr. Kuder's employment census for WWC show that 44 per cent of the student body is working part-time at 57 different varieties of jobs to aid them in gaining an education. The NYA employs 64 men and women for an average of 37}4 hours per month at $15. Sixty- six work for room and board and 107 students are on the state and college payroll. Work varies from musicians to housemothers, companions, candy makers, office workers, and mother's helpers. The YMCA, the Golf and Country club and departments of the college offer openings. The 44 per cent ratio is about the ' sametas the University of Washington, but the U does not distinguish between students earning their money while out of school and those working and attending school simultaneously. . . ' . , . Vacation Wednesday Library Closed In recognition of George Washington's birthday, there will be no school Wednesday, February 22. The business houses, banks, city schools, and WC library will also be closed. This will be the last vacation until the finals. urriculum u 1938 Graduates and Faculty Discuss Solutions to Problems Confronting Beginning Teachers Meeting with the faculty curriculum committee last Saturday, eleven graduates of the class of 1938 discussed the problems confronting beginning teachers, and possible curriculum changes that would enable them to solve these problems more successfully. Dr. Miller, chairman of the curriculum committee, commented on the freedom of expression of those who attended the conference. Some of the problems revealed by the teachers were: Teaching subjects for which they had no previous preparation; contrasts between the students whom they are teaching and the ones they taught during practice teaching; hot knowing how to use text books; and not being able to make out a program of work. Several suggestions for improvement in curriculum were made. The teachers thought there should be more discussion before and after observation lessons. A desire for more varied practice teaching was expressed. They also approved of a system of apprentice teaching to be incorporated in the fourth year of the curriculum. After teaching for five months the graduates realized the importance of the general education given , in the first three years of the teachers course. In addition a question was raised as to the grading of practice teaching. There was expressed a need for a required reading course for all grades v from the primary to the junior high school f:1. On Peace Lieutenant Commander Bryant from the League of Nations association will lecture on some phase of World Peace or Collective Securities in assembly Tuesday, February 21. Mr. Bryant visited the campus a few years ago. He is a real student of current affairs arid being a retired naval commander, has travelled around the wcrld a great deal. Lecturing under the auspices of The Institute of International Education, Mr. Harrison Brown, lecturer and writer, will entertain WWC students in assembly Friday, February 24. Since the World war he has lived chiefly on the continent of Europe. He contributes regularly to leading journals and has been the European representative of American Committee for Outlawry of War. He has had exceptional opportunities for studying European situation through constant travel and through personal acquaintances with many of leading statesmen. n The Horizon Friday, February 17 8:30 p. m —WAA Carnival, training school gym. 8:15 p. m.—"R. u.
