w^^^^^^l^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^- hl+Ws$'r't Week By Week By Hank Francis The War Scare . . . hovers over Europe and The Republic in Which We Stand: The Pacifists are already refusing to go, while the Strategists are threatening personal secession from the Union Primary propaganda has begun to filter into the lives of citizens who were foolish enough in their youth to learn to read, and who have enough curiosity to look at pretty colored pictures. The unseemly effect of kaleidescopic prints depicting the whirr of streamlined wings, the shine of brass buttons, and the beauty of southern climes, on the masculine mind is appalling. A perfectly normal male after being exposed to two volumes of such trash will deviate from the trodden paths of learning and rush off to whip the armies of the Solipcists sngle-handed. (Note: See bulletin board and registrar's office for particulars.) ' v y AlltheCals... are still crying about.the stag line at the rec hours. It seems that the female of the species are extremely delicate of feeling when being stared at in the manner of an aquarium fish. It really isn't the staring that disconcerts the girls for that is the reason they dome. It's the manner and the results- that are so embarrassing, for who likes to be examined in much the same manner as a spavined colt and then found wanting? When the roving stag line begins the'quest, the gals are first, breathless with expectation; second, indifferent but still hopeful; third, disgusted with the method of the chase. Through the strange quirks of the feminine mentality, if a subject. is allowed to go through all three stages of this simple procedure for two consecutive rec hours she immediately takes up the cudgels in defense of that elusive honor and respect that caused the downfall of Adam. V '' V Another Easier . . . has come and gone. The boys have managed to pick their girl friends from underneath the verdant mass of foliage which ostensibly was mismarked millinery instead of salad; the ministers have wished their congregations a Happy New Year because they won't see them until next Easter; the florists have had a pay day and everyone is happy, including the weatherman. The flag that waves so snappily over this domain of Education and Individuality is very, very new. The edges are intact and the color bright, which is symbolic of Easter and spring and everything else except the international situation. It may be stated that the change was needed and was not by any means unpremeditated. V V Starvation . . . has reared its unlovely head in proxy at the steps of the county court house this past week in the form of tents. WPA workers and reliefers bave formed the nucleus of a ghost town.on the county campus by going on strike in protest to the starvation wages and rations that may be forthcoming. An extremely delicate and diplomatic solution would be to put them in the army while they are handy. And speaking of armies, doubtless the best account of the probability of peace in Europe was given by the radio comedian who asserted in substance that peace in Europe would come when Stalin's widow told Franco on his death bed that Hider had just been assassinated at Mussolini's funeral. Secondary Schools Hold Conference In Cheney Preliminary to the Inland Empire convention in Spokane on April 4 and 5, Dr. Kuder attended the conference of the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. Following the two conferences, Dr. Kuder was a guest of Mr. George Wallace, registrar at the Eastern Washington College of Education, for a day. The Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools is one of the agencies by which this school is accredited. A report on a five-year study of secondary school standards, conducted by the American Council' of Education in Washington, D. C, was made by Dr. Walter Eells, co-ordinator of the conference. Summing up the results, Dr. Eells stated that a definite step forward in scientific methods of judging the efficiency of high schools has been marked. Two hundred schools were studied during the survey. During his visit at the Cheney college, Dr. Kuder had an opportunity to study the set-up and organization of methods in the office of registration in Cheney. In addition to the interesting exchange of ideas which took place between the two registrars, Dr. Kuder viewed the entire school. He remarked about the splendid laboratory school equipment, which has only recently been completed. However, he loyally concluded that his preference remained with the western side of the mountains and WWC. Mrs. Fisher Presents Own Compositions Tonight Presenting a program of her original compositions, Mrs. C. H. Fisher, wife of President C. H. Fisher, will give a concert of vocal and instrumental numbers at the St. James Presbyterian church, this evening at' 8:00 o'clock. Appearing on the musicale that will benefit the Women's Missionary societies of the First and St. James Presbyterian churches will be two faculty members, Dr. C. H. Hicks, pianist, and Nils Boson, organist. Vivian McGrath, WWC student, will play three cello numbers accompanied by Dr. Hicks. Members of the faculty, their families, and friends are invited to attend. VOL. XXXVIII—NO. 26 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Mike Baker Head of Campus Day Dance Group To Entertain Wed. Assembly Ted Shawn, Male Dancer, To Present 'O, LiberstadY Three Act American Saga A special assembly will be held Wednesday, April 19, at 10, in which Ted Shawn and his ensemble of men dancers, Barton Mumaw, Frank Verlees, Wilbur McCormack Dennis Landers, Fred Hearn, Foster Fitz-Simons, John Delmar, and Frank Delmar, will present "O, Libertad" an American saga in three acts. The choreography is by Ted Shawn and the music is composed by Jess Meeker. Ted Shawn has brought before the people a dance for men that is virile, masculine, exciting, and at the same time a significant art form. Their lot is indeed a happy one for they not only join the ensemble and see the world, in spring and fall tours, but enjoy in addition to the ten .weeks of arduous summer camping, eight weeks mid-winter respite in Eustis, Fla., a similar mixture of work and play, of outdoor sports and TED SHAWN ' Lives In Tents indoor exercises, of composition, rehearsal and preparation of programs. Here they live, on a small acreage, in army tents on a platform with side walls. They do their transcontinental traveling by motor, carrying the simple tan cloth cy-clorama, trunks and slacks, the elaborate Indian, Spanish, and Oriental costumes, and whatever props there may be, in their own autobus. "O, Libertad" proves that he has lost none of his swift artistry and rhythm which has long distinguished his work. In 1910 doctors in Kansas told Shawn's father that his son was paralyzed from the waist down by a rare form of diphtheria. Edwin, 19, and a junior at the University of Denver, and a candidate for the Methodist ministry, took up dancing after he was able to walk feebly. By the time he was recovered he was fascinated by the art that healed him and made it his career. Speech Article Explains Lab "Work in these laboratories begins where most basic speech courses leave off. Naturally, we feel that a course designed to give students self-confidence and the ability to speak logically and convincingly in social situations is of fundamental importance," states Dr. Jack Cotton in an article, "Laboratory Program in Speech Education," published in Western Speech magazine for March. Dr. Cotton believes that school teachers should have clearcut articulation and a pleasant voice because of their influence on the speech of the developing children. "The average college student speaks with all the habits, good and bad, which he has unconsciously acquired since early childhood," was the reason given by Dr. Cotton to explain why speech courses were necessary in college. The speech booth system was described and the purpose of the system, I t s use, and the probable improvements were all discussed. Dr. Cotton also revealed that the booths were built with the help of the NYA workers and Dr. Cotton himself. Control Board Selects Soph President As Manager Mike Baker, president of the sophomore class, was chosen chairman of the Campus day event by the board of control Wednesday. A report by the rec hour chairman was heard and the board discussed the enlarging of the cloakroom to give greater facilities to the students. Dale Courtney said that the dance classes were resumed and progressing successfully. The illegal use of stadentbody tickets was brought up, in regard to which Bud Neil said, "We wish it emphasized that any study body ticket used il-legally at rec hours will be permanently revoked." It was also decided that hereafter all notices posted on the bulletin board must first be sanctioned by the President's office or the office of the Dean of Women. This was made necessary because of the haphazard arrangement of notices on the board-. The board of control is going to contact the faculty athletic committee on the possibilities of purchasing an electric score board for basketball games. Valkyrie Dance Tonight ---'Carrying out the theme of spring, the lounge of the Bellingham hotel will be gaily decorated with spring flowers for the Valkyrie dance tonight. Jo Jeffers, chairman of the dance, announces that no corsages will be necessary as It is a sport dance. The dance will be rather exclusive as only Valkyrie members and their guests will attend. Faculty guests include: Miss Ruthelen Garvin, Miss Florence Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. Paul Grim, and Mr. and Mrs. Loye McGee. Music will be furnished by Jay Curtis and his orchestra. Broadcast Time Changed Friday afternoon at 4:15 will be the new time allotted to the Collegian news broadcast, "It Happened in College,' according to results of a meeting with KVOS officials late yesterday. The radio station gave the student publication a different time on the air when participants in the program found it too difficult to make the deadline of ithe Collegian and the newscast deadline on the same day. Two Free Passes To Ella Cinders Two free passes to Ella Cinders, Blue Triangle movie, are given to WWC students in a new feature on page two this week. New in the columns of the WWCollegian, this weekly feature will be continued next week in order to arouse reader interest in the contents on the pages. Guild Re-elects Hicks President Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, WWC English instructor, was re-elected Bellingham Theatre Guild president at the Guild's annual meeting, Wednesday, April 5. In commenting on the Guild's progress during the last two years, Dr. Hicks said,that the membership has now reached the highest point since the foundation of the Guild. By the end of the season the Theatre Guild expects to have played to 8,000 people. The next production, "Susan and God," by Rachel Crothers, will play April 26-29. The play, most popular success of last year, is a character study of a woman who gets religion and attempts to apply it to everybody but herself. Bandy Obertatz and Norman Bur-chette are the directors. Not Postponed But Here At Last Ella Cinders Felix The Git Blue Triangle Show Features Ella Cinders, Felix The Cat On Tuesday, April 18, Blue Triangle will present their long-delayed cinema attractions, Ella Cinders and Felix the Cat! The program will begin promptly at 7:15 p. m. in the school auditorium, ending at approximately 9:30 p. m. Student admission will be 16c. The organization planned to present the show last March, but last-minute complications brought about by the arrival of the wrong film, necessitated postponing the program. Assured now that they will receive the correct pictures, Blue Triangle members plan the presentation of a longer reel, plus special attractions. The movies are revivals of former favorites. Colleen Moore, beloved bob-haired actress of a decade ago, plays the part of the comic character, Ella Cinders. Felix the Cat, one of the first animals to cavort in screen cartoons and a predecessor to Mickey Mouse, wjll provide amusement with his funrjy feline antics. 1 Blue Triangle anticipates the coming Seabeck student conference, June 10 to June 17; the program Tuesday evening is an attempt to obtain money for the purpose of financing delegates to the convention. WWC has a possible quota of eight delegates, and it is the aim of the organization to send a complete delegation. An enjoyable evening of relaxation has been planned and student support is earnestly desired, according to the committee in charge. Cederstrom Guts Winter Wood; Miller Plans Eastern Trip Snow Serves On Book Committee Miss Snow, children's librarian of WWC, is serving as an active member of the national committee of the American Library association which selects two outstanding children's books to receive the Caldecott and Newbery awards.
