Donft Miss the Big "W" d u b Smoker Saturday Night VOL. XXXVII—NO. 20 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, March 4, 1938 'W Club Smoker Coming Off Tomorrow Night; Red Hot Matches On Card ,Tf^l*J Don Wilson Battles Krejg In Main Event; Phair Challenged by J. Moses Stuart Versus Stuart By Bill Fowler "With Joe Moses and Bob Phair unable to come to terms it looks like the card announced last week will stand" stated that blushing daffodil, M. T. Nelson, promoter of the "W" club smoker tomorrow evening from 7:00 to 8:30 in the small gym. "Despite the fact that no one dares to go into the ring with me," modestly continued the handsome l.ugosi, "I feel assured that the affair will be a success. The young gentlemen have given me their word that they will produce what you Americans call 'a good show'." "Iron Man" Hank Lanky Maynard Howatt, the brain trust of Edwards hall, opens the smoker against a house-mate, "Smokey" Stover, followed by Laurie Klein and Hank Francis, who is so far out of shape that the boys around the Viking office are giving even money that the sound of the bell knocks him out. Prank Anderson tries his luck against that fighting machine from Puyallup, Johnny Valenta. Then comes the fraternal fight between Bob and Gail Stuart. From this corner it looks like a dead heat, although Bob has more experience. Main Event Orville Richards and Les Jones tangle in the semi-final in a potentially sensational bout. The main event features Don .Wilson and Johnny Krieg. Krieg is given a slight edge over the blond prexy, but anything.can.and probably.will happen. The faculty sponsors for the brawl are Sam Ford and Doc Cederstrom, due to the absence of Sam Carver and "Fibber" McGee, who are attending a physical education conference. Admission is still 15 cents. o WWC Boys Shout For Joy; ROTC Can't Come The Reserve Officers Training Corps dance, which was scheduled for Saturday night, has been unavoidably cancelled but a regular rec hour will be held in its place. In a letter received by President Fisher last week-end, G. M. Ravens-croft, captain of the United States navy at the University of Washington, expressed his regrets that the ROTC trip has been postponed. Their boat, the Eagle No. 57, is being overhauled in the Navy Yard and cannot possibly be ready for the cruise which was to be made March 5. Mr. Ravenscroft said, "The boys were disappointed that they couldn't come because they had such a good time last year, and wish me to express their appreciation of the dance being planned for them." Mel McKee's orchestra will play for the rec hour, which will be held from 9:00 to 11:00 o'clock, after the Smoker. Helen Lindstrom will be general chairman for the Valkyrie club, which is sponsoring the dance. Faculty sponsors will be Dr. M. S. Kuder, Paul R. Grim, of the training school, Miss Florence Johnson, and W. J. Marquis. — o— Hicks Plays With WWC Orchestra One of the unusual features of the WWC orchestra concert which is scheduled for March 15 will be "The Triangle Concerto", for piano and orchestra, by Liszt, in which Dr. Arthur C. Hicks will play the piano. Among Its other numbers, the orchestra will also play the first movement from*Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony", which has never been attempted before in this school. This quarterly concert will be presented in the regular assembly hour. Masked Marvel This lad is not really masked nor is he a marvel, but it's typical of what you will see at the "W" club smoker Saturday night. Reserve Bookroom May Be Abolished Board Discusses Applications Entries for Editor and Business Manager of Vking To Be Submitted to Adviser By Board Correspondent As a result of a discussion on the acceptance of applications for editor and business manager of the Western Viking for next quarter, the board voted that all such appli-,, cations will in the future be submitted by the board to Mrs. Ruth Burnet, journalism instructor and Viking supervisor, for approval before definite action is taken by the board. The method followed in the past, that of requiring applicants to secure a recommendation from the Viking administration to be submitted with applications, has proved unsatisfactory, and need for the new policy was pointed out prior to the discussion which resulted in the change. Speaking as a representative of the Inter-club Council, Clara Van-der Griend placed before the board a request from that organization that any member of the Inter-club Council who completes four quarters of active service, receives an award in the form of a pin. Definite action in the matter was deferred until a later date. o Boston Tea Party Feud Renewed; British Lose Again John Charles Thomas Baritone Thomas Gives Only Concert Of Northwest Tour At High School Tonight Students May Rent Books from Ford's Co-op at One-fourth Present Retail Price WWC students may have to rent their reserve books from the Coop starting spring quarter, according to a report received from the faculty textbook committee last Thursday. Because of the present congestion in the reserve book room both students and library staff are inconvenienced. A special committee headed by Arthur Hicks was appointed by President C. H. Fisher to formulate some plan to avoid the present condition which makes it difficult for students to get outside reading done. Sam Ford, of the college Co-op, has given a tentative rental price for books to be rented. Books that are to be used for six quarters may be rented for one-fourth of the retail price but texts to be used for less than six quarters, will have rental prices slightly higher. The system submitted involves the cooperation of the faculty for the return of the rented books. No deposit will be made but the class grade card will be withheld if the rented book is not returned. In order to help carry the cost of beginning a rental system, the Li-ibrary will turn the present supply of reserved books on hand to the Co-op. o— Review by Dr. Upshall To Be Printed in June "Applications of Tests of Non-intellectual Functions" is the title of the article by Dr. C. C. Upshall which will appear in the June number of the quarterly "Review of Educational Research." He will review all that has been printed on the subject during the years 1935, 1936, and 1937. , Dr. Upshall has been working steadily on the 6300-word article for the last two months. It requires endless checking to see that every reference is exact. Some of the non-intellectual functions covered are: tests of personality, vocational fitness, and problems in educational guidance. Making the old Boston Tea Party look like a ladies' aid society in contrast, the most spectacular tea ever to float down WWC gullets was poured last Thursday by the Western Viking. This high'society'affair "was attended by all of the greats and most of the littles of the 'illtop's ho's 'ho. Don Gooding, who was dug up from a local dive to dish out the colored water, did a truly wonderful job, in spite of the uncooperative efforts of the Viking faculty advisor and the copy editor, both of whom attempted to put the skids under him and pour the tea in a more dignified manner. Restaurant Service Given Between these two sabotagers and fellows like Carver and Vogel, who ate their breakfast and lunch at the tea, and big shots like Blueroom, who brought his family along for a square meal, disaster threatened to break up the meeting. Only when Gooding left did peace come again. Long before the last finger was washed in the soupy tea, and ere the final slurp was slurped, the food began to run out For the next three days a number of people still showed their appreciation of the feast by chawing on the vanished tidbits. "The next Viking tea," de clared editor Soukup afterwards, "will be served by an automat instead of Gooding and Fowler and the rest. They looked too well fed." They were. o Edens Hall To Give Dinner Dance On next Wednesday evening, March 9, Edens hall will be the scene of a gala dinner dance. This dinner dance is to be given instead of the informal which is usually planned for this time. A St. Patrick theme is being carried out, and the Dorm girls are inviting outside guests. The highlight of the evening will be the films which Herbert C. Ruckmick is going to present. These films will show various campus scenes, and also the pictures he took of the choir that sang at the last Christmas tea. Phyllis McNamee is general chairman of the dinner dance and Betty Franklin is co-chairman. _—o Showcases Planned ... Students And Faculty Give Comments On Production Of 'Julius Caesar' Guild Presentation, The Old Soak' Is Produced Soon Comments on "Julius Caesar" gathered from enthusiastic students and impressed faculty members who attended the performance of the play last week revealed the general favorable opinion of the production. , LELA KAUFMAN, freshman and budding young poet, said, "It was better comedy than tragedy. I was especially amused when the crowd roared at the triple suicide." In ELVINA SPANGLER'S opinion, the performance was very good, but Mark Antony stole the whole show. •TOM EVANS, himself an actor, stated.. "The play was well cast. I particularly enjoyed Boyd Swan-son as "Antony". It was certainly professional. The whole performance constituted a feather in WWC's bonnet." "I thought 'Julius Caesar' was very successful," was the opinion given by RUTH BENNINGTON. "I enjoyed the entire show. It appealed to me much more in modern dress than in the traditional Shakespearean costumes." MISS LUCY KANGLEY, when asked for her opinion said, "I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Hoppe's production of 'Julius Caesar.' Within the limitations inevitably faced by any amateur group, they did marvels. I found myself completely absorbed. I do not think our students, at their best, need fear comparison with the current Orson Welles production." MR. KIBBE thought that it was beautifully done, a unique interpretation, and that the characters were well chosen. Western Washington college patrons of the drama will have the opportunity next week to see M. S. Kuder cast in the deep, dark role of a villain. As Banker Parsons in the theatre guild's production, "The Old Soak," Dr. Kuder will be given In order to display a larger exhibit of stuffed animals, John Rin-dall, the school carpenter, is building six new showcases. These will be placed on stands in the hall on the second floor. M. S. Kuder an opportunity to wax his moustache, figuratively speaking. Don Marquis' famous play is a plea for tolerant judgment of Clem Hawley, the old soak himself, and others of his type. Hawley, played by Lewis Frazee, is at least more admirable than his cousin, Banker Parsons. The plot concerns mainly some stolen stock and its connection with the old soak's family. Clem Hawley, Jr., played by Cecil Bacon, gets into trouble over a girl, Ina Heaton, a toe dancing gold digger, and is also involved to the stock. Much of the comedy relief is provided by a duo of young Clem's shady companions, Al, the bootlegger, and Nellie, the hired girl. . Glerimore Jones is director of the play and Werner Klein is stage manager. O* fh< tfo**°n Friday, March 4 8:15 p. m.—John Charles Thomas, baritone, Bell-ingham high school auditorium.

Distinguished Artist Received Education While Traveling; Comes From Talented Family CMA Sponsors Recital Appearing for the second time in Bellingham, John Charles Thomas will be heard tonight at the new Bellingham high school in a concert sponsored by the Civic Music association. This performance is to be the only one made by Mr. Thomas in his present tour of the northwest. Mr. Thomas has spent his entire life in the atmosphere of musical art; therefore, it is as much a part of himself as his mother tongue. In Myersdale, Pa., where he was born, his father was a Methodist preacher, his mother a singer. • The three constituted a vocal trio, parti-pating in the;, camp meetings at which his father preached. The young man sang everything from tenor to bass and while he did not become a preacher himself he did awaken the artistic muse in his soul which, later, was' destined to control his decision as to a career. While his duties required constant traveling, his education was not neglected. His preparatory schooling was received in the various towns in the states which his family visited. It might perhaps have been more complete had he been permitted to pursue a regular course in a particular place. However, his intellectual capacity and alert mentality enabled him to surmount this handicap. Commenting on his program for the current season, Mr. Thomas said, "I'm going; to attempt to glorify the music teacher, the song writer, and the poet in these concerts. Too" little attention has been given to them, for if it weren't for the people who write songs, where would the singers be? We may have forgotten the persons who started us out in the music world, but they haven't forgotten us; and. •I'm going to try to do something to prove that a man named Thomas hasn't forgotten them." b Reasoner, Templin To Receive Junior Award Pins Jane Templin, newly appointed assistant editor of the Klipsun staff, will be given the Junior Award pin this year. The Western Engraving Company awards the pin annually to the editor of the publication, and one staff member who has done outstanding work. "Miss Templin was selected for the position of assistant editor and the winner of the award pin, because of her shown ability as an executive as well as a staff member," stated Eleanor Reasoner when interviewed. The other Klipsun staff members are busy writing undercuts, copy, and the like. Although then-pencils are being put to hard use the staff, still finds time to schedule pictures. During the past week the pictures of "The Big Ten", "The Popular", and "The Smart", were taken. While speaking of pictures, the Klipsun snap shot contest is drawing to a close. So hurry and turn in your campi snaps before next Tuesday, March 8. Perhaps your name will be among the winners announced in a future edition of this paper. Viking Staff Plans Newspaper Display WWC students, you are cordially invited to look over the quarterly newspaper display which will be shown in the Viking off ice beginning next Wednesday. Everything of interest in the newspaper line will be included—unusual papers, old papers, small town weeklies, school papers, foreign papers and what have you. A committee headed by Louise Shrum and including Reda Eaton Lela Kaufman, and Art Mickle is in charge of the collection. •*•''•;•'

Distinguished Artist Received Education While Traveling; Comes From Talented Family CMA Sponsors Recital Appearing for the second time in Bellingham, John Charles Thomas will be heard tonight at the new Bellingham high school in a concert sponsored by the Civic Music association. This performance is to be the only one made by Mr. Thomas in his present tour of the northwest. Mr. Thomas has spent his entire life in the atmosphere of musical art; therefore, it is as much a part of himself as his mother tongue. In Myersdale, Pa., where he was born, his father was a Methodist preacher, his mother a singer. • The three constituted a vocal trio, parti-pating in the;, camp meetings at which his father preached. The young man sang everything from tenor to bass and while he did not become a preacher himself he did awaken the artistic muse in his soul which, later, was' destined to control his decision as to a career. While his duties required constant traveling, his education was not neglected. His preparatory schooling was received in the various towns in the states which his family visited. It might perhaps have been more complete had he been permitted to pursue a regular course in a particular place. However, his intellectual capacity and alert mentality enabled him to surmount this handicap. Commenting on his program for the current season, Mr. Thomas said, "I'm going; to attempt to glorify the music teacher, the song writer, and the poet in these concerts. Too" little attention has been given to them, for if it weren't for the people who write songs, where would the singers be? We may have forgotten the persons who started us out in the music world, but they haven't forgotten us; and. •I'm going to try to do something to prove that a man named Thomas hasn't forgotten them." b Reasoner, Templin To Receive Junior Award Pins Jane Templin, newly appointed assistant editor of the Klipsun staff, will be given the Junior Award pin this year. The Western Engraving Company awards the pin annually to the editor of the publication, and one staff member who has done outstanding work. "Miss Templin was selected for the position of assistant editor and the winner of the award pin, because of her shown ability as an executive as well as a staff member," stated Eleanor Reasoner when interviewed. The other Klipsun staff members are busy writing undercuts, copy, and the like. Although then-pencils are being put to hard use the staff, still finds time to schedule pictures. During the past week the pictures of "The Big Ten", "The Popular", and "The Smart", were taken. While speaking of pictures, the Klipsun snap shot contest is drawing to a close. So hurry and turn in your campi snaps before next Tuesday, March 8. Perhaps your name will be among the winners announced in a future edition of this paper.
