Mountaineers Plan
Kulshan Trip
• Time to go hiking. Where?
Why, Kulshan Cabin, of course.
The committees already are busy
planning a week-end of fun for the
trip this year. The hike is sched­uled
for memorial day week-end
and^ where could be a more ideal
spot to spend a vacation, than
Kulshan Cabin?
Cars will transport the ambitious
mountaineers to Glacier where the
seven mile trek begins. There are
good trails an plenty of scenery all
the way, such as waterfalls, tall
pines, and cedars flanking the en­tire
path.
Evenings in the mountains are
spent in typical mountaineer fash­ion;
group singing, games and
dances, with plenty to eat.
Individual hikes can be made
from the cabin to many points of
interest. Roosevelt glacier, to the
left of theifcabin, and Mt. Baker,
which rises directly from the cabin,
offers perfect shots for camera
fans. ' '
Norbom Felton is chairman of
the outing and those wishing to
go should contact him.
• September 20 is the new date
HP for the opening of college next fall
^^ quarter.
The date has been moved up a
week because it may be necessary
for many students to pick apples
in Wenatchee. Last year most of
the WW men went to pick apples
for one week. There was no way of
making up the time, and.therefore
they were a week behind in their
work. This year it may be necessary
for women also to--pick apples* and
moving the opening of school ahead
one week will make it possible for
. the entire institution to close for
that purpose.
WWCollegian Loss
Uncle Sam's Gain
• With the draft board
breathing rather warmly over
one of his shoulders, Harold
Hardman, former sports ed­itor
of the WWCollegian,
returned home to his folk's
ranch in Custer for a short
visit before he is inducted
into the Army in the near
future.
Harold was number one
sports enthusiast of the cam­pus
and will be missed very
much by everyone. A mem­ber
of Hospice Ion, he was
active on their Softball team
and as a bowler. Varsity
basketball manager this last
winter he was quite a fav­orite
among the team and
the coaching staff.
Student Assemblies
Complete Quarter
• That the assemblies for the re­mainder
of the quarter probably
will be student assemblies was
learned from Miss Ethel Church,
secretary to the president. No other
outside assemblies have been plan­ned.
The AWS and Norsemen held
meetings today during the as­sembly
hour. A Memorial Day as­sembly
is being planned but it has
not been decided definitely.
Graduation practice will take
place on Friday, June 4, and Class
Day exercises will be held on Tues­day,
June 8. Commencement will
take place Friday, June 11.
• This morning at 11 a. m. the
students of Western Washington
received probably the biggest sur­prise
of the year. Without any ad­vance
notice, the Student Lounge
committee placed the newly pur­chased
furniture in the Lounge and
then invited students and faculty
to come in and enjoy it.
There are twenty-six lodge type
chairs and six tables in modern
design. All are made of maple and
finished in a light shade. The
chairs have red leather seats which
are in contrast to the walls and
will harmonize with the draperies.
Other furnishings are a desk for
Student Lounge manager, Bill
Hatch, a cupboard which will hold
games and cards and a waste bas-
