[jjjj Stated Victor Hoppe, "The WWC
^presentation will capture the home-
I like charm of the Hanson family of
San Francisco. But the Hanson
family is as it should be in t h e
theatre, your family and mine. The
play evokes warmly the familiar
feel of home life and succeeds in
achieving the feel of our Ameri­can
way of life. The management
hopes you are planning to 'Remem­ber
Mama' next week. If you can
Come and we can make you smile
jknd feel glad that you came—we
' shall say with Mama 'Is good'."

north stands to play the national
anthem together.
The WWC band performed first

Conference on
Credits Held
At U. of W.
Another conference to discuss the
transferring of credits was held
at the University of ' Washington,
Friday, November 19.
Three educational colleges: West­ern
Washington, Central Washing­ton,
Eastern Washington, Washing­ton
State, and* University of Wash­ington
participated. A chosen
committee including Donald A. Fer­ris,
Stewart A. Johnston, Edward
J. Arntzen, M. S. Kuder, and Irwin
A. Hammer have been handling a
number of different courses leading
to professional careers. Some of.
these are: pre-medical, pre-dent-istry,
nursing, engineering, phar­macy,
agriculture and journalism.
™Mr. Ferris wishes to inform stu­dents
that a new course in composi­tion,
English 102, will be introduced
spring quarter. He then went on to
say that students contemplating a
transfer would do well to take Eng­lish
100, 101, 102. The committee
working together hope to iron out
difficulties of transfer students con­cerning
credits, thus suggesting a
new spirit of cooperation among col­leges.
Vik Band Will Play
WWC's band will play for the
Thanksgiving Day game with UBC,
according to its director, Don Wal­ter.
A special Thanksgiving Fan­tasy,
featuring traditional melodies
and hymns, is planned to replace
the usual half-time marching drills.
Members will be in uniform, how­ever.
Thursday's appearance will mark
the close of the marching season for
the Viking band. Because many
members have been excused to go

Do You Want A Student Union Building?
WWC Students Voice Opinions on Controversial Question
"Do you want a new student
union building?" This was the ques­tion
posed by the Collegian to some
of WWC students in order to get a
sample of student opinion on the
subject. Since the new building pro­gram
has begun there has been a lot
of talk on the matter of building a
Student Union building to house
the various student functions.
The majority of the students in­terviewed
seemed to feel that it
would be a good idea to have a new
Student Union building but they
didn't know how we would pay for
it and some weren't quite sure where
we would put up such an edifice.
Thought on the subject was divid­ed
into several schools of opinion;
Don Olson who said "Yes if it does
not affect the building program.
But how are the students going to
raise the money. We might put a
levy (tax) on all incoming and
transfer students from now on."
Bonnie Lundgren exclaimed, "I
think it would be just dandy, pro­viding
we can raise enough money
for it. But if we had the money
where would we put it, oh dear."
Marie Javonivich agreed with
Bonnie, "I think it would be fine;
we need a new one. It would be real­ly
a good place to spend a little
spare time."
David Grayson was quite positive
in his opinion, "Absolutely and posi­tively
yes; the one we have is in­adequate.
We could do well with
another one." Duane Lewis wants
a hew student union building too,
"Certainly, 100%, I want it because
it will help relationships Of good,
clean fun between students."
Some students were just a little
skeptical of the idea. Robert Ewing
stated his opinion on the issue:
"No, for the time being, what we
have will suffice if the students will
cooperate. There is enough building
going on now anyway. Where would
we put it if we did decide to build
it?" FloeUe Vanderford didn't think
too much of the idea either. She
said, "No, it would cost too much
money for one thing; Oh, I sup­pose
it -would be okay if you had
the funds but where would you get
the funds. • ;
Jerry Moore thought we were go­ing
to have one anyway, "I heard -;
that they were going to put-that fa
the basement of the^ new miiste
building. But if it isnt W ^ e put
in there, I am in favor iflf la^neW:
building as long as I dont have t oy
p a y t h e money." ~: •:':;^r;Mi
