By Charles Kilbourne MARCH TO T H E SEA The Spanish rebel army is once again on the verge of victory. Tnis isn't the first time it ha's happened that Franco has spoken of the "final victory," and usually he has been wrong. It might happen the same way once again, but we are inclined to believe that this time the Spanish omelet is about ready to fold. The boys on the insurgent side ought to be getting somewhere by now what with half of Italy in there helping. It is estimated that the Italians actually outnumbered the natives at one time recently. Mussolini would keep his agreement with England by withdrawing one shipload of soldiers a day and sending two loads back. Time and time again however, Franco's brave lads reached the Mediterranean. Then the tide goes out. POPULARITY Another popularity contest has drawn to a close. Two more students have had their names placed in WWC's mythical hall of fame. Ah, the glamour of it all! What more could a person ask than to be allowed to win a contest such as this. Why, just think! It would mean being set up for life. There is just one thought in the minds of all males when someone mentions so-and-so as the girl who won the popularity contest . . . you guess what that is. There is a fly in the ointment, though. A well-known watcher of the Hollywood trend has this to say: "The glamour girl is definitely on the way out, yes, but definitely." But be that as it may, walk, men, don't run to the nearest exit. APPEASEMENT Well, we see that Herr Hitler has adopted our suggestion of two weeks ago that he should give Goebbels the boot. We feel much honored—or do we? It is felt in many sections that the recent cabinet shifts in Germany mean that a policy of soft pedaling has been adopted by the government. They will have to go some to out .soft pedal the British. About all we get out of appeasement is good old Neville going up to Hitler and telling him in no uncertain terms. All the same, though, it isn't such a bad idea to appease Adolph. While the democracies are adopting a sterner policy they shouldn't take any chances of inflaming him. A Hitler beside himself would be two Hitlers—a dreadful thought, you must admit. FREE HINTS Always ready and willing to be of service to our dear readers, we herewith present two hot tips to those whose secret ambition is to cop a prize at the Junior-Senior party tomorrow night. As you probably are aware by now, the affair is to be one of those costume things. Everybody is supposed to go as a song title, such as the "Lost Chord." (Say, whatever did become of Rex Richards?) Anyway here are our tips: (1) Procure a baby doll from one of your younger gal friends and wrap it snugly in a small blanket. Next get a hand bell, such as the elite use in calling the maid to the table. Carry both with you to the dance, ringing the bell as you go. You will then be known as a "Ding Dong Daddy." (2) From the industrial arts department secure a stick of good old English oak about a foot and a half long. Tote this in on your shoulder and if anybody thinks of asking what you think you are, just say, in a meek voice, "Carioca." Draw two! • Streamlined Viking Has New Type Dress The WWC Collegian presents a new typographical dress to its readers. Streamlined — it is the last word from typographer's beauty shop and this newbpaper hopes you approve of it. The heads are from the modern Gothic family and designed to enhance legibility. If white space results—so much the better. Air—white space—is restful to the eye and aids in the reading of the page. The new typographical dress is termed streamlined because it has simplicity and grace; because it eliminates all obstacles to legibility in the heads; and because it represents the last word from type foundries of the land. This type is similar to that used in the Los Angeles Times, the Vancouver Sun, the Picton Times of Ontario, Canada, and other up-todate newspapers. The WWC Collegian also has a new name and new column widths. There have been seveal names for the paper since it was first published as the Messenger from 1899 to 1902, a quarterly publication. In 1902 it became The Normal Messenger, a monthly, and remained so until 1916. It then became The Weekly Messenger, a weekly paper and remains a weekly tip to the present. From 1928 to 1936 it was The Northwest Viking and the Western Viking to the present date. The present changes have been in progress for the past three months and represent an experiment which will be continued by the editor and staff until a satisfactory format has been evolved. WWC Collegian VOL. XXXyiH-^-NO. 16 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, January 27, 1939 Library Is RatedHigh Student Loan Fund Among Largest in Teachers' Colleges; Faculty Well Prepared That the new WWC library contains more. books than 90 per cent of the accredited teachers' colleges was revealed in a report received last week. An advance in the standing of the faculty preparation in relation to the other schools was also noted. Based on an extensive report sent in every year from the college, a summary comparing WWC with 150 other accredited teachers' institutions was made by the American Association of Teachers Colleges and returned to the school. Faculty Banks High The most outstanding improvement this year was the improvement in the ranking of the faculty's preparation, vln 1935-36 WWC placed among the lowest, 10%. Last year the amount of preparation was still a little under average, despite a large advance, but this year the report showed that WWC's faculty is better prepared than that of 65% of the schools judged. Over two-fifths" of the instructors have preparation amounting to one year graduate study above the master's degree. Fourteen faculty members have the doctor's degree or an equivalent. The college was rated average in the number of class periods taught by each instructor. Large Loan Fund The amount of the student loan fund and the loans actually made placed in the upper 10%. Student fees were classed as only average, while cost per student for operating the college is higher than at most teachers colleges. Although WWC placed high in the number of books in the library the amount of money.spent for new books and periodicals this year was only average. Klipsun Stages Barn*Dance Swing your partner, circle to the left, all hands around, grand right and left. Sponsored by the Klipsun staff, a barn dance is to be held Saturday, February 4, in the training school gym. According to Don Wilson, chairman of the shindig, costumes are very desirable as a prize is to be given for the most hay-seedy farmer and farmerette. No modern dances will be played by Jay Curtis' Cornfed sextette. The program is to consist of waltzes, polkas, two-steps, rye waltzes, tuxedos, and schottishes. "We are planning a novel floor show and refreshment scheme," stated Wilson. "And we also are going to demonstrate some of the dances in assembly." Alkisiah" Initiates New Girls Candle-light provided the setting for the. Alkisiah club's formal initiation for new members held last Tuesday evening in the Edens hall club room. Those initiated were' Marcia Kimble, Frances Neevel, Dorothy Becker, Velma Hilsenberg, Margaret Jones, Beatrice Hart, Cecilia Kalsch, Margaret Rabb, and Mina Stallard. The ceremony was ollowed by a short business meeting. Plans were made for a Valentine Banquet to be held February 11, at the Hotel Leopold. The chairmen of the committees in charge are: decoration, Kathryn Newell; program, Bertha Hall; tickets and publicity, Ruth Marie Greely. An interesting program was provided by the chairman, Margaret Rabb, on the subject of drama. Algene Schold; and . invitations, Marion Peters gave a reading; Elsie Harlow spoke on the stage man-, agers job; Terry Gookins told of the life of actors and actresses; and Margaret Rabb finished by talking on the work of directors. MARTINSON, MOSES MOST POPULAR Betty Co-ed Ruth Martinson HELP GIVEN STUDENTS Special Service Bulletins Will Be Posted on Board For Non-Diploma Students As an added service to non-diploma students who are undecided about their future career plans, WWC has recently become affiliated with the Western Personnel Service which is located in Pasadena, California. In discussing this new service. Dr. Kuder emphasized the fact that students are always welcome to come and talk over their educational and vocational plans with him. The Western Personnel Service endeavors to promote errective student personnel work in the colleges of the west coast and to help students achieve more intelligent career planning. For this purpose it sends out two publications which will be posted on a special section of the bulletin board as they are received. One of these publications, the Occupational News bulletin, contains brief digest of occupational news of interest to western college students; they attempt to open new lines of thought about occupations in the West by using many different avenues of approach to stimulate the imaginations of students in finding new occupational frontiers. An occupational interpretation of the news, information about highly specialized occupations, alternative employment for persons receiving training in over-crowded fields, employment requirements, laws about occupations, and evaluation of training facilities- are included. See Bulletin Board For World News Busy students please note. All required to take comprehensive tests in the spring take heed. Every week the International Relations club is presenting the news of the world in brief on their club bulletin board. One of the comprehensives deal with international affairs; many college people have little time nor inclination to read the newspapers enough to keep posted; consequently, let no one fail to avail himself of this opportunity to get the news on the run. See who's who at a glance. Further details will be found in your local newspapers. Both Winners Are Athletes Contestants Win Close Race; Poll Selects Representative Man and Woman Students Joe Moses and Ruth Martinson are to be WWC's Joe College and Betty Co-Ed during the year 1939, according to the vote taken by the Klipsun in their annual contest held last Friday in assembly. The ballots showed the contest for both the boy and the girl to be close ones. The Betty Co-ed contest was especially close. A Klipsun officer disclosed that after the last ballots had been counted it was discovered the winner had slipped over with a mere lead of 14 votes. In regard to the nature of the contest, Alice Molenkamp, chairman of the popularity contest, said, "This years contest officials tried to avoid too much of the popularity angle and attempted to play up those students who have been particularly active in student affairs. Closely connected with the popularity runoff is the choosing of WWC's ten outstanding students by the Klipsun staff and a faculty committee composed of acting chairman, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom; President C. H. Fisher; Dr. M. S. Kuder; Florence E. Johnson; Charlotte B. Richardson; and Mary E. Rich. The Klipsun staff first picked twenty-four candidates. The list of these candidates were then turned over to the faculty committee which decided upon the ones to compose the big ten.* Their choice for the five boys were: Bob White, Don Wilson, Bud Neil, Harold Nelson, and Dale Courtney; and the five girls they picked: Helen Masters, Alice Seimons, Margaret Schold, Virginia Neuerburg, and Frances Daley. Attendance at Social Teas Urged "We really wish the new students would take advantage of the Women's league teas, on Thursday afternoons," said Dorothy Fuller, chairman of teas, "because it is the most informal way to form new friendships and really get acquainted." Each Thursday afternoon between 2:30 and 3:30 a club oT house on the campus sponsors a tea under the auspices of the Women's league, for the purpose of encouraging friendliness among the students, and to acquaint the students with their organizations. These teas are held in the Women's League room, next to the office of the Dean of Women. Moonlight Sonata To Be Offered To raise money for their biennial music scholarship the Women's Music club is sponsoring "Moonlight Sonata," which features Ig-nace Paderewski; said by many to be the greatest living pianist, at the Mount Baker theater January 31 and February 1 and 2. Accompanying the picture will be "Dramatic School," starring an academy award winner, Luise Rainer. Four of the five music scholarships were given to WWC students. Last year's winner was Maxine Moldrem, a college violinist. Other winners, Christine Albers, Helen Griffith, and Jean Philippe, were pianists and students of Miss Strange, of the WWC faculty. $300 is given to the person winning the award. • Joe (College) Former Student Tells of Trip To Unalakleet, Alaska Many students will remember Eunice Buck, a graduate of WWC last June. Recently Mrs. Lovegren of the mimeograph department received a letter from Miss Buck telling of her experience while traveling to her school in Unalakleet, Alaska. Miss Buck wrote that it took her from August 7 to October 4 to reach her destination. The weather from Seattle was so "elegant" that one of her friends on the boat got a sunburn. On her way north she visited Ketchikan, Wrangle, Cordova, Juneau, and Seward, also taking a side trip to the Columbia glacier. The ship rode as close as one quarter of a mile from the iceberg and blew its whistle. The reverberations caused the ice along the edge to break and make a deafening roar. While sleeping on the train to Anchorage she was awakened about 2 o'clock in the morning to see another beautiful sight, the northern lights. Miss Buck waited for a week at Seward for the boat "Boxer," and after a stormy and miserable trip she arrived at her destination, Unalakleet. The whole town was out to see the new teacher. Miss Buck expressed her feelings by saying; "I felt like a monkey in a zoo!" Joe Moses HIT PARADE FEATURED Junior-Senior Class Sponsors Rec Hour Tomorrow Night Anything from the UMBRELLA MAN to FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT JONES goes Saturday night at the Junior class "Song Title Ball" in the training school gym from 8 until 1 1. The DARK TOWN STRUTTERS' BALL takes a back seat as DINAH and her SENTIMENTAL GENTLEMAN L A M B E TH WALK to Jay Curtis' orchestra, pinch hitting for ALEXANDER'S RAGTIME BAND. Helen Boothe, the GIRL IN THE LITTLE GREEN HAT, has • her HEART AND SOUL wrapped up in plans to make the party the HIT PARADE of the year, but—IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU! EVERYBODY'S DOING IT at this party, everybody's wearing a costume representing a song title. Helen Lindstrom is "TEMPTATION" for the evening, Marie Krause and Wilton Poolman portray "TWO SLEEPY PEOPLE", Bud Neil, carefully carrying an oak log over his shoulder stages a comeback for CARIOCA, while Harold Nelson is the "KID IN THE THREE CORNERED PANTS". A prize will be given for the most original costume. Student Body cards will be your ticket of admission. A limited amount of guest tickets can be secured in the Dean of Womens office from two until four today. Dr. and Mrs. Moyle Cederstrom, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hoppe, Miss Evalyn Odom. and Miss Charlotte Richardson are the faculty guests. Those assisting Helen Boothe to 'make this dance a big success are the following committee chairmen: Jean Spencer, faculty; Roland Van Luvan, decorations; Mary Ellen Jackson, refreshments, and Jane MacWilliams, publicity. LibraryiOrientation Completed The librarian has now completed the program of giving orientation library instruction this quarter to new students and other students who have not had this instruction within the last ten years. All students have now received information by lecture and mimeographed material which will enable them to use the major tools and organizations of the library effectively. This information was given to the students for two reasons. The first is that this is a library-centered institution. The second is that, although a person may be in school only a few years, this information will be useful to him whenever he uses a library. "Although many colleges give formal tests over the material presented in the lectures, we prefer to observe the practical use which the students make of the library now that I have on record a tabulated list of the students and the extent of their attendance in these library courses,' stated Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson. New Name Unveiled Board Chooses Collegian as Name for Modernized Paper; Pres. Fisher Telephones OK Tentative choice of the name WWC Collegian to supplant the traditional Western Viking was made Wednesday by the Board of control. Because of possible changes that may still be made the winner of the Change-the-Name Contest will not be announced till next week. The Board made its choice from five names submitted by the five judges, President C. H. Fisher, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom, Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, Bud Neil, and Evan Hill, who had first considered the 120 names turned in by students. President Fisher's choice was long distanced Wednesday from Olympia where he was meeting with the legislature. Because the paper's deadline was so near when the new name was finally judged, it was found impossible to have a new name plate engraved in time for this issue. The name plate on this paper is therefor, not in accordance with the modern style of type which will be used in next week's issue. Collegian Gives Newscast Initiation of a series of weekly news broadcasts along with many other changes in the routine of the paper took place yesterday afternoon from 3.:45 to 4 p. m. The broadcast yesterday, the first of the series of newscasts, came over the local broadcasting station, KVOS. The program yesterday and those to come in the future are departmentalized into four groups; straight news, men's sports, women's sports, and society; all of which are centered around the editor's desk. Radio announcers for the news cast include: Abby Rodgers, Betty Solibakke, Evan Hill, Smiley Hall, Lyman Handy, Al Biggs, and Wal-ly Leiser; all of whom are members of the newspaper staff. News for this broadcast is read directly from the galley proofs of the paper. The staff feels justified in its decision not to release any scoop stories over the radio but will instead let the paper get the benefit of the exclusive stories. Guild To Present One Act Plays Tonight and tomorrow night the Theater Guild will present three one-act plays for their January production. The three plays are "The Lamplighter," a farce by Charles Dickens; "Three's a CrowuV' a comedy by Sara S. McCarty and E. Clayton McCarty; and "His Wife's, First Husband," another comedy by Ernest J. Sharpsteen. On The Horizon Friday, January 27 8 p. m.—Basketball .University of Mexico, new gym. 8 p. m.—Theater Guild plays, 120 Prospect street.

Both Winners Are Athletes Contestants Win Close Race; Poll Selects Representative Man and Woman Students Joe Moses and Ruth Martinson are to be WWC's Joe College and Betty Co-Ed during the year 1939, according to the vote taken by the Klipsun in their annual contest held last Friday in assembly. The ballots showed the contest for both the boy and the girl to be close ones. The Betty Co-ed contest was especially close. A Klipsun officer disclosed that after the last ballots had been counted it was discovered the winner had slipped over with a mere lead of 14 votes. In regard to the nature of the contest, Alice Molenkamp, chairman of the popularity contest, said, "This years contest officials tried to avoid too much of the popularity angle and attempted to play up those students who have been particularly active in student affairs. Closely connected with the popularity runoff is the choosing of WWC's ten outstanding students by the Klipsun staff and a faculty committee composed of acting chairman, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom; President C. H. Fisher; Dr. M. S. Kuder; Florence E. Johnson; Charlotte B. Richardson; and Mary E. Rich. The Klipsun staff first picked twenty-four candidates. The list of these candidates were then turned over to the faculty committee which decided upon the ones to compose the big ten.* Their choice for the five boys were: Bob White, Don Wilson, Bud Neil, Harold Nelson, and Dale Courtney; and the five girls they picked: Helen Masters, Alice Seimons, Margaret Schold, Virginia Neuerburg, and Frances Daley. Attendance at Social Teas Urged "We really wish the new students would take advantage of the Women's league teas, on Thursday afternoons," said Dorothy Fuller, chairman of teas, "because it is the most informal way to form new friendships and really get acquainted." Each Thursday afternoon between 2:30 and 3:30 a club oT house on the campus sponsors a tea under the auspices of the Women's league, for the purpose of encouraging friendliness among the students, and to acquaint the students with their organizations. These teas are held in the Women's League room, next to the office of the Dean of Women. Moonlight Sonata To Be Offered To raise money for their biennial music scholarship the Women's Music club is sponsoring "Moonlight Sonata," which features Ig-nace Paderewski; said by many to be the greatest living pianist, at the Mount Baker theater January 31 and February 1 and 2.

Last year's winner was Maxine Moldrem, a college violinist. Other winners, Christine Albers, Helen Griffith, and Jean Philippe, were pianists and students of Miss Strange, of the WWC faculty. $300 is given to the person winning the award. • Joe (College) Former Student Tells of Trip To Unalakleet, Alaska Many students will remember Eunice Buck, a graduate of WWC last June. Recently Mrs. Lovegren of the mimeograph department received a letter from Miss Buck telling of her experience while traveling to her school in Unalakleet, Alaska. Miss Buck wrote that it took her from August 7 to October 4 to reach her destination. The weather from Seattle was so "elegant" that one of her friends on the boat got a sunburn. On her way north she visited Ketchikan, Wrangle, Cordova, Juneau, and Seward, also taking a side trip to the Columbia glacier. The ship rode as close as one quarter of a mile from the iceberg and blew its whistle. The reverberations caused the ice along the edge to break and make a deafening roar. While sleeping on the train to Anchorage she was awakened about 2 o'clock in the morning to see another beautiful sight, the northern lights. Miss Buck waited for a week at Seward for the boat "Boxer," and after a stormy and miserable trip she arrived at her destination, Unalakleet. The whole town was out to see the new teacher. Miss Buck expressed her feelings by saying; "I felt like a monkey in a zoo!"

LibraryiOrientation Completed The librarian has now completed the program of giving orientation library instruction this quarter to new students and other students who have not had this instruction within the last ten years. All students have now received information by lecture and mimeographed material which will enable them to use the major tools and organizations of the library effectively. This information was given to the students for two reasons. The first is that this is a library-centered institution. The second is that, although a person may be in school only a few years, this information will be useful to him whenever he uses a library. "Although many colleges give formal tests over the material presented in the lectures, we prefer to observe the practical use which the students make of the library now that I have on record a tabulated list of the students and the extent of their attendance in these library courses,' stated Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson. New Name Unveiled Board Chooses Collegian as Name for Modernized Paper; Pres. Fisher Telephones OK Tentative choice of the name WWC Collegian to supplant the traditional Western Viking was made Wednesday by the Board of control. Because of possible changes that may still be made the winner of the Change-the-Name Contest will not be announced till next week. The Board made its choice from five names submitted by the five judges, President C. H. Fisher, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom, Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, Bud Neil, and Evan Hill, who had first considered the 120 names turned in by students. President Fisher's choice was long distanced Wednesday from Olympia where he was meeting with the legislature. Because the paper's deadline was so near when the new name was finally judged, it was found impossible to have a new name plate engraved in time for this issue. The name plate on this paper is therefor, not in accordance with the modern style of type which will be used in next week's issue. Collegian Gives Newscast Initiation of a series of weekly news broadcasts along with many other changes in the routine of the paper took place yesterday afternoon from 3.:45 to 4 p. m. The broadcast yesterday, the first of the series of newscasts, came over the local broadcasting station, KVOS. The program yesterday and those to come in the future are departmentalized into four groups; straight news, men's sports, women's sports, and society; all of which are centered around the editor's desk. Radio announcers for the news cast include: Abby Rodgers, Betty Solibakke, Evan Hill, Smiley Hall, Lyman Handy, Al Biggs, and Wal-ly Leiser; all of whom are members of the newspaper staff. News for this broadcast is read directly from the galley proofs of the paper. The staff feels justified in its decision not to release any scoop stories over the radio but will instead let the paper get the benefit of the exclusive stories.
