It is an age-old custom for the girls to reverse the usual procedure of courtship and propose once every four years. Now along comes SadieHawkins, a figment of Al Capp's imagination, who would change all that and have one day a year set aside for this feminine domination. AlCapp is the creator of the L'U Abner comic strip. This "fad" is sweeping the country like wMffce. Philadelphia is celebrating their Sadie Hawkins day, November 17, and the festivities are to be broadcast over the NBC radio network.

Dynamic Erika Mann Fortells Defeat Of Germans By §hirlee Cratsenberg Of such stuff as those who build kingdoms and revolutionize worlds, is dynamic Erika Mann, who crusaded for democracy at WWC Tuesday. Dark-eyes glowing with the spirit of the freedom for which she is fighting, Miss Mann reaffirmed in personal interview her belief that Germany can only, lose the war it has begun. She does not travel and lecture to antagonize the American populace. "Oh, no," says she, "I believe the country is well aware of Hitler and his dangers; I lecture that I may present the facts behind the Hitler regime, that the citizens of die United States may discern for themselves the appearance of Fascism in . their country and combat it! Fascism," she stated, "is indicated when such things as the "Ham and Eggs" plan, now current in California; arise! ' Talking smoothly, but forever restless with her slender hands. Miss Mann spoke keenly of the young people in Germany. In the youth of our age she believes the salvation of Germany lies, for 'tis they who, becoming bored by the monotonous repetition of ambiguous knowledge, will make the break. Youth, she intimates, will "have it out" with Hitler. Privately, she worries about Stalin. It is not for Hitler that he works* she is certain, but she believes that Russia's assistance to Germany is dangerous. Miss Mann spoke briefly of the book she is now writing. It concerns the average German people, and probably will be entitled either "Lights Go Down" or "Middleton, Nazi Version." Her father has just completed a hovel on Goethe. Comprehensible to everyone, the intense Miss Mann displayed few of the "genius" characteristics so often expected of such as she; her manner of presentation was factual, her ideas were clear, and her personality was penetrating and straight-forward. —^Get a Hold on Yourself. Nob Philbert- Tennist Budge Pays Visit By Paul Glenn Donald Budge, of world-wide tennis fame, visited Bellingham for five days, last Week. The purpose of his trip was to see the scenery hereabouts, which consisted mainly of a fortunate member of bur student body, Patricia Donovan. A very interesting description of Budge was given by Miss Donovan who said, "Six feet, two inches . . .weight, 180 pounds . . . the most gorgeous and intoxicating wavy red hair . . . a swell dancer." She gushed on and on with a dreamy look on her face until she was brought back to earth with another question. Budge is a very modest person and one would never know that he is the tennis world's perfect man. He played several sets of tennis in Seattle with Hank Pruso^f and then paired up .with him and played some doubles with Dick Bennett and Mel Dranga. He plays the drums and is crazy about swing. New York will be his winter home where he will work with the Wilson Sporting Goods company, after he has taken his country-wide drive in his ' 3 9 Lincoln Zephyr. While in N e w York he plans to take piano under Joe Sullivan so that his swing technique can be improved. He spoke little about tennis unless he was asked; and he was not sure whether or not he would go on a professional tennis tour / o f the country next summer. He is truly modest for so great a personage. — G e t a Hold on Yourself. Nob Philberr Guild Cuts Student Rate By Guild Reporter Offering the students of WWC an excellent opportunity to see good drama at popular prices, the Bellingham Theater Guild Wednesday anonunced a special student rate of twenty-five tents plus tax for future performance of six-night runs.

Shangle to Talk Friday Fritz Siegal, who at 22 years is the concert master of the Seattle Symphony orchestra, will present a violin program on Tuesday, November 7. . , . - , , . . , •• . Siegal is the son of a Bohemian mother and a Russian violinist who found sausage manufacturing more profitable than music when he came to America. Heralded as a young concert.master with an "amazing" repertoire of classical music, Siegal, a native of Vienna,' in what used to be Austria, likes swing. His idea of a good "gate" is Glenn Miller, who succeeded Artie Shaw in his affections about a year ago. Time was when Siegal had an ambition to direct a swing band of his own, and really "jive" for relaxation, but he gave up that ambition. .At only 19 Siegal was concert master for the Illinois Symphony orchestra. He also was concert master for the Chicago Civic orchestra, and for the past year has been staff violinist for the National Broadcasting company in Chicago. Siegal learned what he knows from but two teachers other than his father, who put a bow in the boy's band when he was five. As next week is American Education week, C. Payne Shangle, superintendent of the Bellingham public schools, will be the main speaker at the'assembly Friday, November 10. The a cappella choir, directed by Nils -Boson, will present a musical program. Victor H. Hoppe will preside.

A1-, though the housemothers have expressed a desire that displays be erected without the idea of competition in view, i t was pointed out by the board that houses do not have to compete for Ahe cup which will nevertheless be awarded the winning display, but may merely plan a display that will carry out the idea of the HOMECOMING celebration if they so desire. A plan whereby cars of people coming to se the displays will be routed up Garden street for several hours on Friday evening, when all displays will be up, i s being considered. This will give those houses on Garden street a better chance for publicity and townspeople driving up the hill will see their displays as well as the ones on High street.

It is an age-old custom for the girls to reverse the usual procedure of courtship and propose once every four years. Now along comes SadieHawkins, a figment of Al Capp's imagination, who would change all that and have one day a year set aside for this feminine domination. AlCapp is the creator of the L'U Abner comic strip. This "fad" is sweeping the country like wMffce. Philadelphia is celebrating their Sadie Hawkins day, November 17, and the festivities are to be broadcast over the NBC radio network.

Dynamic Erika Mann Fortells Defeat Of Germans By §hirlee Cratsenberg Of such stuff as those who build kingdoms and revolutionize worlds, is dynamic Erika Mann, who crusaded for democracy at WWC Tuesday. Dark-eyes glowing with the spirit of the freedom for which she is fighting, Miss Mann reaffirmed in personal interview her belief that Germany can only, lose the war it has begun. She does not travel and lecture to antagonize the American populace. "Oh, no," says she, "I believe the country is well aware of Hitler and his dangers; I lecture that I may present the facts behind the Hitler regime, that the citizens of die United States may discern for themselves the appearance of Fascism in . their country and combat it! Fascism," she stated, "is indicated when such things as the "Ham and Eggs" plan, now current in California; arise! ' Talking smoothly, but forever restless with her slender hands. Miss Mann spoke keenly of the young people in Germany. In the youth of our age she believes the salvation of Germany lies, for 'tis they who, becoming bored by the monotonous repetition of ambiguous knowledge, will make the break. Youth, she intimates, will "have it out" with Hitler. Privately, she worries about Stalin. It is not for Hitler that he works* she is certain, but she believes that Russia's assistance to Germany is dangerous. Miss Mann spoke briefly of the book she is now writing. It concerns the average German people, and probably will be entitled either "Lights Go Down" or "Middleton, Nazi Version." Her father has just completed a hovel on Goethe. Comprehensible to everyone, the intense Miss Mann displayed few of the "genius" characteristics so often expected of such as she; her manner of presentation was factual, her ideas were clear, and her personality was penetrating and straight-forward. —^Get a Hold on Yourself. Nob Philbert- Tennist Budge Pays Visit By Paul Glenn Donald Budge, of world-wide tennis fame, visited Bellingham for five days, last Week. The purpose of his trip was to see the scenery hereabouts, which consisted mainly of a fortunate member of bur student body, Patricia Donovan. A very interesting description of Budge was given by Miss Donovan who said, "Six feet, two inches . . .weight, 180 pounds . . . the most gorgeous and intoxicating wavy red hair . . . a swell dancer." She gushed on and on with a dreamy look on her face until she was brought back to earth with another question. Budge is a very modest person and one would never know that he is the tennis world's perfect man. He played several sets of tennis in Seattle with Hank Pruso^f and then paired up .with him and played some doubles with Dick Bennett and Mel Dranga. He plays the drums and is crazy about swing. New York will be his winter home where he will work with the Wilson Sporting Goods company, after he has taken his country-wide drive in his ' 3 9 Lincoln Zephyr. While in N e w York he plans to take piano under Joe Sullivan so that his swing technique can be improved. He spoke little about tennis unless he was asked; and he was not sure whether or not he would go on a professional tennis tour / o f the country next summer. He is truly modest for so great a personage. — G e t a Hold on Yourself.

Shangle to Talk Friday Fritz Siegal, who at 22 years is the concert master of the Seattle Symphony orchestra, will present a violin program on Tuesday, November 7. . , . - , , . . , •• . Siegal is the son of a Bohemian mother and a Russian violinist who found sausage manufacturing more profitable than music when he came to America. Heralded as a young concert.master with an "amazing" repertoire of classical music, Siegal, a native of Vienna,' in what used to be Austria, likes swing. His idea of a good "gate" is Glenn Miller, who succeeded Artie Shaw in his affections about a year ago. Time was when Siegal had an ambition to direct a swing band of his own, and really "jive" for relaxation, but he gave up that ambition. .At only 19 Siegal was concert master for the Illinois Symphony orchestra. He also was concert master for the Chicago Civic orchestra, and for the past year has been staff violinist for the National Broadcasting company in Chicago. Siegal learned what he knows from but two teachers other than his father, who put a bow in the boy's band when he was five. As next week is American Education week, C. Payne Shangle, superintendent of the Bellingham public schools, will be the main speaker at the'assembly Friday, November 10. The a cappella choir, directed by Nils -Boson, will present a musical program. Victor H. Hoppe will preside.

A1-, though the housemothers have expressed a desire that displays be erected without the idea of competition in view, i t was pointed out by the board that houses do not have to compete for Ahe cup which will nevertheless be awarded the winning display, but may merely plan a display that will carry out the idea of the HOMECOMING celebration if they so desire.
