LEGAL AND VIRTUOUS
GERMANY
Bremen, Germany—Jane 17
After branding the United States
as a world center for economic dis­turbances
and praising Germany as
•or opposite in economic stability,
Walter Funk, Economics Minister,
helpfully or hopefully declared that
Germany was not responsible for
the May and June payments on the
$160,000,000 Austrian bond issue.
Quoting as precedent the action
of United States in regaitfs to
Southern debts following the Civil
War and the similar conduct of
Great Britain following the Boer
War, Herr Funk, with a nice feel­ing
for the legality and morality of
the situation, said that Germany
was not obligated to acknowledge
state debts of the newly annexed
Austrian territory.

Washington, D. C.—June 21
Humanizing warfare is the ob­jective
of the new program of our
Secretary of State Hull. No de­tails
have been announced but the
theory is that he will make it nice
and safe for us civilians.
A sympathizer, Chairman Norman
H. Davis of the American Red Cross,
fcas proposed such measures as pro­tected
hospital zones, a few good
international rules for when and
where not to bomb and, gallantly
enough, zones of immunity for wom­en
and children within cities under
attack.
/ would like to propose for an
addition to this program the feudal
system of no fighting on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays or on le­gal
holidays. In the light of the
high regard which various signers
have shown for the Kellogg-Briand
Pact I wonder about the success
of making rules for war.
Campion; Annarae Curry as Little
Seal, and Winifred Kreiter as Clara j Anyone desiring information con­cerning
any of the recreation may(
call there.
Wilson.
"Petticoat Fever" finds its setting
in a bleak radio station in Labra­dor
during the winter. The plot
deals with the traditional two men
and a girl situation. A girl and her
British fiance drop down from the
skies on a lonely radio location. The
operator then begins the task of
breaking up the engagement and
winning the girl himself.

SENATOR BURKE PRESERVES
FltEE PRESS
Washington, D. C—June 17
With Vice President Garner lead­ing
the trek away from Washington
the third and last session of the
Seventy-fifth Congress adjourned
Jane 16. According to the New
York Times, a filibuster won in. the
Senate but as far as I can tell some­body'
must have done ail right. Ap­propriations
unofficially estimated
at oyer 112,000,000,060 set a new
peace time record.
The Senqie filibuster prevented
the appropriation of an additional
$I 2,500 which Senator Burke of
Nebraska alleged would be.used by
the Lobby Committee for an inves­tigation
of the editorial and hews
policies of our newspapers: Guard­ian
of our Liberties Senator Burke
conducted the energetic filibuster
which prevented this.
Representatives of the leading
publishing companies of the United
States will exhibit their books and
supplies in the Big Gym June 27-29
In years past the displays have run
along all through the summer, with
one or two publishers represented at
a time. The space on the front stair
landing and at the north end of the
lower hall was formerly used for
this purpose.
Having the displays all in the
same place at the same time will
make it easier to see and compare
the printed materials. The same
group of representatives who are
coming here are stopping at the
University of Washington, the Uni­versity
of Oregon, and other large
schools of the Northwest.
Colorful Assemblies
On Docket
Chosen from many fields, the as­sembly
programs planned for the
summer quarter will be interesting
and colorful according to reports
from the president's office. With a
predominance of musical programs
there will also be five lectures and
one dance program as well as one
choral reading.
Among the musical programs will
be Theodore Anderson and Francis
Armstrong, both well known violin­ists,
appearing July 1 and July 22,
respectively. Anderson plays a vio­lin
loaned to him by Mr. E. B. Dem-ing
of Bellingham. It was purchased
from a collection in Chicago and is
valued at $15,000.
Contralto Coming
Other musicals include Myrtle
Leonard, contralto of the Metropol­itan
Opera association; Virginia
Card, soprano; Ellen Reep, contral­to,
and Walter Eyre, baritone. Mr.
Eyre has been a featured soloist in
radio work for some time. In addi­tion
to these there will be Ariel Rub-enstein,
pianist, and the Seattle
Woodwind Trio.
Drastic Changes
Seen In
Summer Faculty
Six new faculty members have
been added to the teaching staff of
the college for the summer quarter.
Most of 'the members have been as­signed
positions in the Campus
school replacing teachers who are
either on vacation or studying.
Miss Greta Garrison, an addition
to tihe regular faculty is teaching
techniques of teaching. This addi­tion
is necessary because of the large
number of students taking work hi
the college training school this sum­mer.
Miss Alice Frederickson, from the
Training school staff of State Teach­ers
college at Bemidiji, Minnesota,
is teaching the techniques of teach­ing.
She is replacing Miss Marjorie
Dawson, who is teaching at the Uni­versity
of Pennsylvania.
Miss Mary R. Martin, who is from
State Teachers college, Ypsilanti,
Michigan, is teaching the second
grade in the Campus school She is
substituting for Miss Irene Elliott
who will be studying at Columbia
university.

At the final Board of Control
meeting on June 2, the 1938 Klipsun
was openly discussed and certain
suggestions and recommendations
were contributed for the benefit of
next year's editor.
Because of the fact that the Klip­sun
is a student publication, various
student opinions were gathered con­cerning
the general make up and
content. The most important recom­mendations
were the following:
1. That organized houses be fea­tured
more. The names of the dif­ferent
houses might be mentioned
and the student house officers.
2. That the PE building should
have more publicity. It was also
suggested that there should be a
more accurate choice of athletic pic­tures.
3. That the book be representative
of the whole student body, and not
a personal album for any one clique.
