W>.:.:a ^;:mm0< v^S^^S;^^? VfM XXXVIIlr-^NO. 13 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, January] 6, 1939 and By Charles Kilbonrne ;RETURN;;;'\>-;.;v;- < ' Well, here we are back again from the Christmas vacation, or are we ? The Yuletide shoppers have s a v e d business once again* and the only glut on the m a r k e t is the. vast number of horrible gift ties and shirts being returned post haste by the recipients. T h e n there are e v en more that aren't b e i n g returned, and neither are they being worn. The average excuse being offered this year is that they are too nice to wear. According to a dispatch from Texarkana, Texas, one of the local gentry solved the problem very nicely when he found he could not return any of his numerous Christmas ties. Using a purple polka dot one with an orange field, he hanged himself from a rafter in his basement. EPSOM DERBY Things seem to have quieted down somewhat in the McKesson- Robbins drug scandal. The reason seems to be that nobody new has turned out to be a Musica for several' hours now. Since learning of the practice of shipping muni-tioBS to Spain in crates labeled as containing milk of magnesia and other such drugs, it is possible to understand the reports emanating from the battlefront concerning the Spanish "Epsom Derby." ' It seems that the rebels are wont to gather up a few captives, line them up, tell them to start running, and thea see how close they could come to hitting their heels with Papa Coster's .44-calibre milk of magnesia. At any rate the substituted contents of the drug crates seem to have had the same effect as was intended for the original. CHOO-CHOO Bellingham's new bus system, which somehow contrived to miss WWC, "now seems to be getting down to a point that approaches smooth running. The new five-cent night rate is a boon to students wishing to return to the college at night to study or to visit the dorm girls. The drivers are pretty well pleased 'with the new gas buggies, now that they are getting used to them. Only the buses are taking a beating. It was just seventeen days after they started operating that oil. smoke was noticed coming out the exhaust. In the words of the immortals, "It won't be long now!" Anyway they are doing better than the street cars, which in common with their cousins, the railroads, were rapidly losing out in a financial way. A Tennessee mountaineer once told a feature-story writer that he had never heard of a railroad train. We understand that he is greatly envied by a number of railroad officials. B-Z-Z-Z-Z! We witnessed a little scene the other day that convinced us that times certainly are changing around this school. A male member of a science class dashed breathlessly into the room about five minutes before the final bell rang, sat down at a table reserved for the contemplation of biological specimens, pulled an electric razor out of his hip-pocket, and proceeded to shave himself. Henceforth, it is rumored, all 8 o'clock classes will have plug-in sockets installed for the benefit of late risers. While we are on the subject it might be appropriate to mention that if placed end to end, the hairs grown by an average^ man in one year would equal 4,703 feet. The catch is, ofcourse, to get thtttri to grow end to- encLy \ cGee Replaces D^n Marquis III At May? Clink Dean W. J. Marquis Mrs. Thomas F. Hunt Passes Away Eldora F. Hunt, wife of Thomas P. Hunt, WWC History instructor, died Saturday, December 17. The service took place at Sacred Heart church the following Monday at 9:00 a. m., with burial at Bay View cemetery. o '• Ski Club Plans Big Season; Trip This Sunday Deah of Men Takes Leave Marquis Undergoes Operation; To Return for Spring Quarter; McGee arid Poole Replace Him W. J. Marquis, dean of men and instructor in the department of education, left Bellfngham on the evening of December 24 for the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minnesota". Dean Marquis was accompanied by- Mrs. Marquis. Mr. Marquis was not very well during the fall quarter and on the advice of his physician decided to go to the Mayo clinic for an operation. Word was received yesterday from Mrs. Marquis that Mr. Marquis underwent an operation on December 30 at the Colonial hospital in Rochester, Minn., and that he was doing very well. Mr. Marquis expects to take up his duties in the. spring quarter. During the winter quarter L. A. McGee of the physical education department will act as dean of men in Mr. Marquis' absence. C. P. Poole will teach Mr. Marquis' classes during this present quarter. Mr. Poole comes to WWC from the University of Washington [ where he is completing his work for the Ph. D. degree, which degree will be conferred upon him in June of. this year. Mr. Poole's most recent Temporary Dean Loye A. McGee Wilson, WWC Printer Returns To Faculty (Continued on Page Four) • o Carl F. Gould Passes After Illness Enthusiastically pushed by Prexy Dick Hudson, the ski club is rapidly expanding into one of the major clubs of the insti-tion. Boasting of nearly 150 members at present, it is expected more will enroll later in the year. Plans to have a bus, as well as .private parties take ski fans up the mountain have been completed and will go into effect next week-end. As a special feature all those from the school that go up the first Sunday, January 15, will be entitled to free instructions in the art of maneuvering the skis. Pictures will be taken that will later appear in the Western Viking and the Klipsun. Club members have been taking adventage of the free lectures and moving pictures.shown by Granville Jenson at the Whatcom junior high and at the. Larrabee school. These lectures are free to the public, and anyone interested is urged to 8t-tend. - . One of Best Known Architects In U.S.; Designed P E and Library Buildings at WWC Carl P.. Gould, designer, and architect, died Wednesday afternoon .at the Seattle Swedish hospital after an illness of about two months. Mr. Gould, one. of the best, known architects in the country, designed the building plans for the PE building and the library at WWC. A short time before his illness, Mr. Gould visited the college with designs for the new Campus Elementary school building. He completed the plans before his death. After many years of training, Mr. Gould, in 1914, associated himself with Charles H. Bebb,' arid the firm of Bebb and Gould has had an important part hi the erection of many beautiful'buildings in the Northwest.- Miss Anne Gould, his daughter, arrived in Seattle but a few days ago to take over her father's work in the architectural firm of Bebb and Gould. The state ^capitol group in Olym-pia, the Everett General hospital, the two buildings at WWC, the buildings at the University of Washington and many others will remain as monuments to the memory of Carl F. Gould. Swiss Performer Explains Yodeling; Te lls of Instruments; U.S. Trip "Yodel—why yes everyone yodels in Switzerland," said Joseph Stu-der in answer to a question regarding the most interesting Swiss custom. Joseph Studer was the master of ceremonies and general spokesman for the three Swiss artists who appeared in last Tuesday's assembly. :•*, Mr. Studer went on to say that to Swiss people yodeling is much the same as singing is to' us. There are also the same limitations to yodeling as there are to singing; that is, some can and some just can't. Fortunately, the Studers. could. Mr. Studer told briefly the'history and background of yodeling and explained that it is used in the same manner as our singing. They yodel for public entertainment, they yodel to call one another, and they yodel when they—well—when they have nothing else .to do. After this Mr. Studer introduced his companion performers who were, his brother, Louis Studer, who was the one who quite outdid even Benny Goodman on the clarinet, and his cousin, Fritz Studer, who really made the accordion and the bass viol talk. Fritz then explained about the tiny accordion which he played. "T^t is about thirty-five or forty years old but still plays as well as it ever did,'' he said in his jovial; obliging &£& After a year's leave of absence, R. D. Wilson, printer, has returned to the faculty. Leaving at the beginning of the winter quarter last year because of ill health, Mr. Wilson spent eleven months in the hospital at the Home of the Typographical union in Colorado Springs, Colo. Franklin Shaver has been in charge of the print shop for the past year. The.Printers Home, maintained by the International Typographical union, is the only establishment of its kind in the United States. Mr. Wilson is a member of this union; all members are entitled- to either the excellent hospital facilities of the home or to residence there after reaching the age of 60. Takes Stage Lines Remain Identical With Play of Old; Present Costume Replaces Elizabethan Dress Last winter a large WWC audience applauded .tremendously a somewhat modernized production of William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." Present day military uniforms replaced the long, flowing mantles of the Shakespearean era and the clashing of the swords, mpst familiar sound in the battles of the Elizabethan period gave way to the. staccato of machine- gun fire——the result, amazingly different style yet a great success. - Again this winter, Victor H. Hop-pe, director, of dramatics, will attempt lb reach a new high in modernization by reconstructing another great Shakespearean play. This time he will present a super streamlined version of "Hamlet.".Action, implications, and costumes will undergo great alteration; the characters will be wearing modern European court apparel in court scenes and khaki and business clothes in others. A rather militaristic style will predominate. Although Elizabethan references are omitted, the lines of the play remain identical to those scrolled by the mighty pen of Shakespeare over 300 years ago. The basic point of this, play is the bewilderment of modern man. This is stressed by the soft-peddling of the ghosts and spooks. "The 1939 version of 'Hamlet'," stated Mr. Hoppe, "should prove an interesting experiment, as the lines will not be altered, the plot will remain identically the same, and thus comparing of William Shakespeare's strength and force of imagination as a literary genius to that of modern authors' and playwrights can well be done." Recently in New York city a well-known playwright was severely lee tured by a group of Shakespearean ege Receives Library Funds From Cam Lecturer Interprets Subject Of German Nazism Renowned Authority Speaks Mind; Nazism vs. Democracy Subject for Academic Debate (Continued on Page Three) School YWCA Organization To Hold Bible Institute In Edens Hall Beginning Thursday noon, Janu- their friends are invited to attend. ary 12, and lasting through Sunday, January 15, the YWCA organization of the school will hold a Bible institute in the Edens hall club room. Noon, afternoon, and evening-meetings will be in the charge of prominent speakers, and all students, both men and women, and Reporter Encounters Surgeon's Scalpel manner. He also pointed out the difference between, the Swiss .accordions which they played and'the kind we are used to seeing. "The main difference is that where you have keys similar to a piano keyboard we have buttons; however, much the same effect is produced. Naturally all of the men ski but they have not as yet tried any of our American 'snowf ields. However, before they, return to their native country they hope to see some of our ski resorts. Though they all talk with an accent they are fun to talk to and unusually easily understood. From the examples in assembly one could easily say the "Swiss family Studer" is very good looking and all have personalities to match. For all the hard work they have been doing the three are apparently tireless, judging from the hustle and bustle of packing and the interest they took in answering questions at the same time. Joseph Studer went on to say in his clipped accent that for two and a half years they have been in the United States and liked it very mUCh.- .v.' •^',.-' •;•.;; .•_.-;:•/• "We have ''• driven.approximately 50,000 miles in pur Chevrolet and hope to go many more; At present we are heading south down,the Following an acute attack of appendicitis Douglas Lince, WWC student, was operated on at the St. Luke's hospital on Sunday, January 1. . Lince, who. is a reporter for the Viking, had liad a mild attack in the latter part of last year, but did not realize- that he was subject to the ailment. He stayed in the college infirmary for several days after his first attack. Although he is doing as well as can be expected, Lince" can have no visitors as yet. o-— Norseman Begin Quarter With Plans .'/!.;•• The opening meeting of the institute will be held Thursday noon, and the second meeting will be Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Three meetings, will be held Friday: at noon, at 4 oclock, and after dinner in the evening. The Saturday afternoon meeting will be" followed by a tea and social time; the closing meeting will be held Sunday afternoon. Programs will be printed soon and further information regarding the meetings will be posted on the YWCA bulletin board. . The first Bible institute sponsored -by • the YWCA organization was held in 1907 and it has only been omitted once since that time, making this year's institute the 30th one to be held. The institute began with the co-operation of the Bel-lingham ministers and has always had this co-operation. During the 30 years the organization has had many very excellent speakers from various parts of the United States and also several from foreign countries. Included among these speakers have been missionaries, ministers, and eminent students of the Bible. Hitler over Europe? - - -..--•?•-' Recognized as a renowned authority on central Europe, Dr. William. Landeen of Walla Walla college, appeared in; the assembly today. He spoke on the subject of "Nazism versus Democracy." ' ' . Dr. Landeen is well-known as a scholar, educator, world-traveler, and lecturer who has chosen the subject, "Middle Europe" as his life study. He has been an eyewitness, of many of the incidents which brought Adolf Hitler to supreme power in Germany—the chapter, of world history which rivals the Napoleonic era. The description of the struggle between Democracy and Naziism was given. Landeen spent months in post-war Germany, has a fluent command of the German language, an insight into German character, morals and German political ideology, and has had opportunities to see firsthand the events which led to the Nazi hegemony over Central Europe. Landeen has stated that "Nazi-ism versus Democracy" is the issue which confronts the world today. It is no longer merely a subject for academic debate, but a live, vital issue which is going to play a tremendously important role in American politics. o Guild To Present- Famous Drauna Of Modern Ideas $9,000 Appropriated to Buy More Books WWC Library; $3,000 To Be Given Annually Nine thousand dollars have been granted to WWC to be used for purchasing books of permanent value for the library by the Carnegie corporation of New York. The money :will be available.' at the. rate of $3,000 a. year for three years. This .gift came as a Christmas present to the school, as notification was received by President Fisher just a few days before Christmas. Twenty-nine teachers'' colleges in the United States were granted funds amounting to a total of $180,- 000. The minimum amount of any grant was $3,000. Western Washington college was the only one of the teachers colleges west of the Rockies to receive a grant. Late during last spring quarter a representative of the Carnegie corporation of New York visited the college library and gathered considerable data for his investigation of teachers colleges' libraries. During the summer a formal application was made, accompanied by a statement of the needs of the library and how an appropriation would be spent if it were granted. Over a period of three years this fund will provide for some deficiencies in the collection of WWC's library and will put the book collection in first class condition. —: ^>— Dance Instructors To Be Accepted Carver and Courtney Appointed Co-Chairmen of Rec Hours for Winter Quarter, Says Bud Neil, Rehearsals for the Bellingfyam Theatre "Guild's "R. U. R." production, by the late distinguished Czeck playwright, Karel Capek, are now in full swing, according to Dr. Hicks, popular president of the guild. "R. U. R.," Capek's best known work, presents the new and unusual in modernplays. It is a robot play of famous modern drama of ideas. Popular opinion concedes that "R. U. R." is the greatest robot drama oh the present day stage. Incident-ly the famed Capek died just last Christmas day at the still young writing age of 48. Following "R. U. R." the Guild will present three one-act plays, "The Lamplighter," by Charles Dickens; "The Boor," written by the Russian realist, Anton Chekhov; arid "Three's a Crowd," a delightful modern American comedy by Sue McCarty. Glenmore Jones, skillful amateur actor, is in general charge of "R. U. R." while the three one-;act plays are capably handled by Norman Burchette, Denton Hatfield, Fred Wolfe, and Mary Kathleen Mura: As Bellingham audiences are getting more and more stage-conscious —tiring somewhat of the continuous run of all-alike movies—it is predicted the forthcoming Theatre Guild plays will surpass former performances. It is believed the relationship built up between actor and audience which is wanting in the celluloid of the cinema will be largely responsible for this change. Appointing Jean Carver and Dale Courtney co-chairmen pi:rec hours for .winter^quarter^ and. announcing that applications for a man and a woman, dance instructor for dance classes will be accepted into next Wednesday, the Board of Control presided over by Student Prexy_ Ralph Neil swung into action on the winter quarter business of the Associated Students at their meeting on January 4. Other business included the reading of the final financial report for homecoming and a discussion of the administration of rec hours.to the effect that the chairman of any class party should first confer with the co-chairman of rec hours before taking any action toward organizing the party. Also, it was suggested that the attention of students be drawn to the new rec hour furniture purchased last quarter as contrasted to that used previously, and to request cooperation from students iri. keeping this new furniture in good 'condition. .• — -O ; —'• '.. Klipsun Sponsors - Popularity Polls Starting the social events of the Winter quarter the Norsemen's club will sponsor an informal, which will be held on Saturday, January 21, in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel. This is the first dance given by the club since they have organized and "they hope for a very successful evening.

Swiss Performer Explains Yodeling; Te lls of Instruments; U.S. Trip "Yodel—why yes everyone yodels in Switzerland," said Joseph Stu-der in answer to a question regarding the most interesting Swiss custom. Joseph Studer was the master of ceremonies and general spokesman for the three Swiss artists who appeared in last Tuesday's assembly. :•*, Mr. Studer went on to say that to Swiss people yodeling is much the same as singing is to' us. There are also the same limitations to yodeling as there are to singing; that is, some can and some just can't. Fortunately, the Studers. could. Mr. Studer told briefly the'history and background of yodeling and explained that it is used in the same manner as our singing. They yodel for public entertainment, they yodel to call one another, and they yodel when they—well—when they have nothing else .to do. After this Mr. Studer introduced his companion performers who were, his brother, Louis Studer, who was the one who quite outdid even Benny Goodman on the clarinet, and his cousin, Fritz Studer, who really made the accordion and the bass viol talk. Fritz then explained about the tiny accordion which he played. "T^t is about thirty-five or forty years old but still plays as well as it ever did,'' he said in his jovial; obliging &£& After a year's leave of absence, R. D. Wilson, printer, has returned to the faculty. Leaving at the beginning of the winter quarter last year because of ill health, Mr. Wilson spent eleven months in the hospital at the Home of the Typographical union in Colorado Springs, Colo. Franklin Shaver has been in charge of the print shop for the past year. The.Printers Home, maintained by the International Typographical union, is the only establishment of its kind in the United States. Mr. Wilson is a member of this union; all members are entitled- to either the excellent hospital facilities of the home or to residence there after reaching the age of 60. Takes Stage Lines Remain Identical With Play of Old; Present Costume Replaces Elizabethan Dress Last winter a large WWC audience applauded .tremendously a somewhat modernized production of William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." Present day military uniforms replaced the long, flowing mantles of the Shakespearean era and the clashing of the swords, mpst familiar sound in the battles of the Elizabethan period gave way to the. staccato of machine- gun fire——the result, amazingly different style yet a great success. - Again this winter, Victor H. Hop-pe, director, of dramatics, will attempt lb reach a new high in modernization by reconstructing another great Shakespearean play. This time he will present a super streamlined version of "Hamlet.".Action, implications, and costumes will undergo great alteration; the characters will be wearing modern European court apparel in court scenes and khaki and business clothes in others. A rather militaristic style will predominate. Although Elizabethan references are omitted, the lines of the play remain identical to those scrolled by the mighty pen of Shakespeare over 300 years ago. The basic point of this, play is the bewilderment of modern man. This is stressed by the soft-peddling of the ghosts and spooks. "The 1939 version of 'Hamlet'," stated Mr. Hoppe, "should prove an interesting experiment, as the lines will not be altered, the plot will remain identically the same, and thus comparing of William Shakespeare's strength and force of imagination as a literary genius to that of modern authors' and playwrights can well be done."

He also pointed out the difference between, the Swiss .accordions which they played and'the kind we are used to seeing. "The main difference is that where you have keys similar to a piano keyboard we have buttons; however, much the same effect is produced. Naturally all of the men ski but they have not as yet tried any of our American 'snowf ields. However, before they, return to their native country they hope to see some of our ski resorts. Though they all talk with an accent they are fun to talk to and unusually easily understood. From the examples in assembly one could easily say the "Swiss family Studer" is very good looking and all have personalities to match. For all the hard work they have been doing the three are apparently tireless, judging from the hustle and bustle of packing and the interest they took in answering questions at the same time.

Lince, who. is a reporter for the Viking, had liad a mild attack in the latter part of last year, but did not realize- that he was subject to the ailment. He stayed in the college infirmary for several days after his first attack.

The first Bible institute sponsored -by • the YWCA organization was held in 1907 and it has only been omitted once since that time, making this year's institute the 30th one to be held. The institute began with the co-operation of the Bel-lingham ministers and has always had this co-operation. During the 30 years the organization has had many very excellent speakers from various parts of the United States and also several from foreign countries. Included among these speakers have been missionaries, ministers, and eminent students of the Bible. Hitler over Europe? - - -..--•?•-' Recognized as a renowned authority on central Europe, Dr. William. Landeen of Walla Walla college, appeared in; the assembly today. He spoke on the subject of "Nazism versus Democracy." ' ' . Dr. Landeen is well-known as a scholar, educator, world-traveler, and lecturer who has chosen the subject, "Middle Europe" as his life study. He has been an eyewitness, of many of the incidents which brought Adolf Hitler to supreme power in Germany—the chapter, of world history which rivals the Napoleonic era. The description of the struggle between Democracy and Naziism was given. Landeen spent months in post-war Germany, has a fluent command of the German language, an insight into German character, morals and German political ideology, and has had opportunities to see firsthand the events which led to the Nazi hegemony over Central Europe. Landeen has stated that "Nazi-ism versus Democracy" is the issue which confronts the world today. It is no longer merely a subject for academic debate, but a live, vital issue which is going to play a tremendously important role in American politics. o Guild To Present- Famous Drauna Of Modern Ideas $9,000 Appropriated to Buy More Books WWC Library; $3,000 To Be Given Annually Nine thousand dollars have been granted to WWC to be used for purchasing books of permanent value for the library by the Carnegie corporation of New York. The money :will be available.' at the. rate of $3,000 a. year for three years. This .gift came as a Christmas present to the school, as notification was received by President Fisher just a few days before Christmas. Twenty-nine teachers'' colleges in the United States were granted funds amounting to a total of $180,- 000. The minimum amount of any grant was $3,000. Western Washington college was the only one of the teachers colleges west of the Rockies to receive a grant. Late during last spring quarter a representative of the Carnegie corporation of New York visited the college library and gathered considerable data for his investigation of teachers colleges' libraries. During the summer a formal application was made, accompanied by a statement of the needs of the library and how an appropriation would be spent if it were granted. Over a period of three years this fund will provide for some deficiencies in the collection of WWC's library and will put the book collection in first class condition. —: ^>— Dance Instructors To Be Accepted Carver and Courtney Appointed Co-Chairmen of Rec Hours for Winter Quarter, Says Bud Neil, Rehearsals for the Bellingfyam Theatre "Guild's "R. U. R." production, by the late distinguished Czeck playwright, Karel Capek, are now in full swing, according to Dr. Hicks, popular president of the guild. "R. U. R.," Capek's best known work, presents the new and unusual in modernplays. It is a robot play of famous modern drama of ideas. Popular opinion concedes that "R. U. R." is the greatest robot drama oh the present day stage. Incident-ly the famed Capek died just last Christmas day at the still young writing age of 48. Following "R. U. R." the Guild will present three one-act plays, "The Lamplighter," by Charles Dickens; "The Boor," written by the Russian realist, Anton Chekhov; arid "Three's a Crowd," a delightful modern American comedy by Sue McCarty. Glenmore Jones, skillful amateur actor, is in general charge of "R. U. R." while the three one-;act plays are capably handled by Norman Burchette, Denton Hatfield, Fred Wolfe, and Mary Kathleen Mura: As Bellingham audiences are getting more and more stage-conscious —tiring somewhat of the continuous run of all-alike movies—it is predicted the forthcoming Theatre Guild plays will surpass former performances. It is believed the relationship built up between actor and audience which is wanting in the celluloid of the cinema will be largely responsible for this change. Appointing Jean Carver and Dale Courtney co-chairmen pi:rec hours for .winter^quarter^ and. announcing that applications for a man and a woman, dance instructor for dance classes will be accepted into next Wednesday, the Board of Control presided over by Student Prexy_ Ralph Neil swung into action on the winter quarter business of the Associated Students at their meeting on January 4. Other business included the reading of the final financial report for homecoming and a discussion of the administration of rec hours.to the effect that the chairman of any class party should first confer with the co-chairman of rec hours before taking any action toward organizing the party. Also, it was suggested that the attention of students be drawn to the new rec hour furniture purchased last quarter as contrasted to that used previously, and to request cooperation from students iri. keeping this new furniture in good 'condition. .• — -O ; —'• '..
