The following letter winners made up the crew that brought the Western College of Education into port with a successful season: Nelson, Harvie, Fox, Joe and Ed Moses, Tisdale, Eyer, Bell, Targus, Dombroski, Gagnon, Odell, and Smith. other applications were submitted to the board.

The winter quarter rec hours were most enjoyable because of their originality. The next rec hour will be held the first week of spring quarter. Using the Sun-dog as the theme, Bellingham Rainbow girls' annual carnival will be held Saturday evening, March 12, at the Masonic temple, corner of State and Maple streets. There will be a "main show" starting at 8:00 o'clock, with the carnival starting at 9:00. As the feature of the main show, Bettie Bode, Bellingham high school senior, will be crowned queen, of the carnival with her four princesses, who are, Betty Key, Lois Hilby, Al-vira Welton, and Lee Barlow. To carry out the Sun-dog theme, the seven Rainbow colors will be used in the decoration of the booths; the red booth will be a Jitney dance booth, carrying out a Big Apple theme. At the other six rainbow booths such old favorites as Housey-housey, Nigger-throw, and Fish-pond will be in play, along with the usual ice-cream, hot-dog and candy concessions. | The Sun-dog, which is being used as the theme, is a type of small rainbow, which appears under cer tain weather conditions. Virginia Anderson, WWC student, is Worthy Advisor of the Bellingham assembly, No. 17. o Band Plans Trip in a public place and this is an ex elusive party, it all starts at 7:30 and the people who don't come won't be able to go swimming with us so they better come and bring their guests because everything will be over by 9:30 because we got special permission from the dean of women because it's a closed weekend." o Kuder Is Villain In Guild 'Old Soak' Bond Returns ToWCC After Trip East Two Text Books Publshed; Reynolds, Shuster, West Collaborate With Bond Accompanied by Fisher After acting on a committee with eleven other educators from various colleges and universities, Dr. E.

Bushell and Coach Chuck Lappen-busch are discussing the possibility of the band accompanying the football team here in the fall. They also hope to have ' Eliensburg's band play here for a game. Students Express Opinions Pro And Con In Regard To Probable Book Rule Vases, placques, book-ends, figurines, and several wheel-pieces were among the pottery items fired last week for the industrial arts classes. Changed from gray to golden tan by the firing they now await glazing. During a recent questioning in regard to the new book rule which is now under consideration, students commented both favorably and unfavorably. However, the majority of them seem to be against the idea of renting books from the Co-op. "The price of rental will be an added expense to those who have to count their pennies," stated one student. Others are afraid that there will not be enough books to accommodate everyone. There are those students who believe that the book rule under consideration will not solve the problem of congestion in the library, for students will always have books they want to check out at 4:00 o'clock for home use. Favorable Comments Those who commented favorably believe that the students would be at a distinct advantage if the new book rule is accepted. The student book. He would, not.have to worry whether his particular book was in the library or not and he would always have orie^with him in class to which he could refer. "The new book rule, if it goes through, will give a person more of a chance to get books," claimed one of the students questioned. He would rather rent a book at the Coop than run over to the library fter one, and take a chance on its being there. Those who did not comment gave some suggestions of how the congestion in the library could be avoided; Sighing for books in the reserve book room and taking them upstairs to read and making students pay a penalty for late books, are a few of the'suggestions. "If students wouldn't wait until the last minute for books, they could always get them," observed one stu- With Dr. M. S.

The members of the committee were appointed jointly by the National Education association and the National Teachers Association of Mathematics. The meeting was held in Atlantic City. While Dr. Bond was in New York, two of the text books he helped write were published. The title of the books is "Real Life Arithmetic". They were written for the third and fourth grades. Soon similar books for the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades will be published. Two books also have been written for teachers of the first and second grades. The men writing in collaboration with Dr. Bond are: Rollo G. Reynolds, principal of Horace Mann school, Teachers college, Columbia university; Carl N. Shuster, head of department of Mathematics, New Jersey State Teachers college; Ros-coe L. West, president of New Jersey State Teachers college. President C. H. Fisher accompanied Dr. Bond as far as Minneapolis. Here Dr. Bond stopped over a day and visited his son who is a professor of education in the University of Minnesota.^ o : Closed Week Slows Up Student Social Activities "What! Closed week-end again?

This idea originated several years ago, as the students felt they could not do justice to their final exams due to too many activities that week-end. The plan met with the approval of the faculty as they believed it would not only boost grades, but also save on the burning of midnight oil. So, all you Phi Betas and others, plan for a nice, quiet week-end at home studying—we hope. o Koudal Initiated Into Scholarship Society Initiating Margaret Koudal into the Scholarship society was the purpose of the luncheon held in the Edens hall club room Tuesday, March 8. She was selected as the one new member for winter quarter. The table was attractively decorated with a centerpiece of daffodils and yellow candles. The place cards were dunce caps of different colors. The initiate was called upon to give a brief sketch of her life. She was then presented with a pin and a polished apple.

Students Express Opinions Pro And Con In Regard To Probable Book Rule Vases, placques, book-ends, figurines, and several wheel-pieces were among the pottery items fired last week for the industrial arts classes. Changed from gray to golden tan by the firing they now await glazing. During a recent questioning in regard to the new book rule which is now under consideration, students commented both favorably and unfavorably.
