Call 'em Up, Call em Down, As Board
Gives Collegian Seven Columns Again
"Qn-again off-again Finnegan"
is the new title being considered for
the WWCollegian. For the WWCol-legian
will appear next week in the
halls of WWC, again a seven col­umn
paper. Wednesday, at the
meeting of the Board of Control, it
was decided that the student pub­lication
be instructed to again pub­lish
the larger-sized issue, instead
of the five-column paper the staff
previously was instructed to pro­duce.
... ;':''•'. ' ' .'•:."'.
The WWCollegian will publish
four seven column issues, after
which time a financial report will
be submitted to the Board. Then
the "she's up, she's down" policy
may be abandoned, and the now-fluctuating
size of the WWCollegian
will be definitely decided upon for
the remainder of the year . . . any­way,
for the quarter. . *
Winter quarter budgets were dis­cussed
at the meeting, and allo­cations
were made to all school ac­tivities
with cuts in accordance with
the slight decrease in enrollment.
The budget - for the. Publications
Prom submitted by Jane Hamilton
and Eric Phillips, co-chairmen, was
approved.
The Board of Control met at the
home of Dr. and Mrs, WIW. Hag­gard.
Refreshments' were served
following the business meeting.,

WW Symphony
Under Bushell
Gives Concert
s
Orchestra Plays January 25
In WWC Auditorium, May
Be Last Concert of Season
• According to Director Donald
G. Bushell, the WW symphony or­chestra
will .present what may be
their last concert of the season in
the college auditorium, Sunday,
January 25, from 3:30 to 5 p. m. The
program played by the 48-piece or­chestra
will consist of the following
selection: "Magic Flute Overture"
(Mozart), "Andante Con Moto from
Symphony No. 8" (Schubert), "A
Somerset Rhapsody" (Hoist) \ and
"From the Western World" (Dvor-ak-
Kopp).
The last work will be particularly
interesting, says Mr. Bushell. It
v/as originally a sonata for violin
and orchestra by Dvorak, and was
rearranged by Kopp in Dvorak's
orchestral style as a symphony. It
resembles greatly both Dvorak's
fourth and fifth symphonies. Bu­shell
also comments on the Hoist
work, saying that it is an English^
folk-tune rearranged in a somewhat
modern harmonic style.
In regard to the statement that
this may be the last concert of the
season, Mr. Bushell says that due
to the shortage of tires, many of
the. out-of-town members may not
be able to play with the orchestra
as usual, therefore concerts may
have to be discontinued.
