Smothers Brothers | j * J « *
Vote Of
Confidence
The Smothers Brothers will appear before a sellout
crowd at 8 p. m. Monday in Carver Gymnasium.
Over 3,000 students and public are expected to attend.
According to Mike Boring, program vice president.,
$200 worth of sound equipment has been set up in order
that everyone will be able to hear the Brothers perform.
"A special stage will also be used in order that
people seated in the rear section of the gym will be
able to see the comic duo," Boring said.
The Brothers have performed throughout the
country and are working their way to Bellingham via
California and Oregon.
Commenting on the Brothers, the Indianapolis News
had this to say: "Had the packed house convulsed.
They're excrutiatingly humorus and just as talented
musically.. Completely enjoyable!"
I n an unprecedented
move early this week, the
Young Democrats passed
a resolution commending
conservative e x e c u t i ve
vice president Terry Gal-lager
for his stand on controversial
issues.
Gallagher noted that the move
was probably in regard to his
views on the National Student Association
and his affiliation with
the Washington State Young Republicans
who recently cited the
NSA as an undemocratic organization.
Informed sources noted that
the YD action may be a move to
soften up a later negative stand
on the National Student Association's
method of electing delegates,
which has been criticized
by student leaders as non-representative.
The resolution presented by
Ken Geary and Dean Foster, executives
in the club, reads:
Whereas, the Young Democrats
of Western Washington State
College advocate a full discussion
of all issues, be they local,
state or national issues, and
Whereas, one of the elected
officers of the student body was
recently criticized by unnamed
"liberals" on this campus for
expressing his opinions on controversial

'Just Charge It.
National Debt Not Serious
By Cherrie Walford
Our p r e s e n t national
debt exceeds 300 billion
dollars, just over half the
annual output of our nation.
With a national debt
of 300 billion dollars, is our
economy sound; or are we
at present on the brink of
bankruptcy?
To get the answer to these and
other questions concerning our
economic status, a Collegian re:
porter spoke to Dr. Erwin Mayer,
Dr. Howard Mitchell, and Dr.
Thaddeus Spratlen of Western's
Economics Department.
"The main problem of the national
debt as it affects the United
States today is its inflationary
potential, and the effects it has
in redistributing the personal incomes
from taxpayers," Dr.
Mayer said.
"Between 1945 and 1947 the
national debt was continuously
larger than the total gross national
product. Since then, the
national debt has become a progressively
smaller portion of the
total annual output; and hence at
the same time, it is becoming progressively
less of a problem."
BIGGER PROBLEMS to the
economy of our nation, as Dr.
Mayer sees them, include the
continued high level of unemployment
and the drain on our
gold reserves.
"With appropriate management
DR. ERWIN MAYOR of Western's
Economics Department.
the extent of our national debt
has not become a serious problem,"
he noted.
• • •
"I believe our national economy
is sound. The national debt is similar
to any other debt. The national
production determines how
much we can support. As the national
production goes up, we can
support more debt. However,
one of the dangers of excessive
debt is the possibility of inflationary
pressures," Dr. Mitchell
commented.
"The national economy is
sound; however there will naturally
be fluctuations at times,"
he added.
Mitchell pointed out that paying
off the national debt would first
bring an increase in taxes. Secondly,
our national debt performs
a number of useful functions. Low
income persons need to keep their
savings in a very secure type of
investment. Government debt in
the form of series "E" bonds is
very good for these people who
could hardly afford to buy stocks
and bonds in large corporate
firms.
"OUR NATIONAL DEBT is
part of our control mechanism.
See "Debt" Page 9

"Expulsion from school is
a high price to pay for a
$1.25 item,", according to
Manager Ray Knabe of the
Student Co-Op Bookstore.
Knabe referred to the rash
of shoplifting in the store.
"The College does not accept
this " and is reaching the point
where shoplifting is automatic
suspension," noted Dean of Men
C. W. MacDonald. "We intend to
tane a firm stand on this Shoplifting
and anyone caught at it
will be treated harshly."
The exact amount of loss has
not been figured as yet, but the
store "knows it's going"on." The
penalty is the same for a pen as
it is for anything else.
"A KH) can't come back to
school after 30 days in the cooler
and a considerable fine," MacDonald
warned. This is the only
alternative available to students
caught lifting items in town.
Co-Op Manager Knabe is genuinely
concerned and disturbed
over the matter. He asked—'how
do you appeal to the honesty of
a person who professes to educate
our coming generation?"
Both the Dean and Knabe realize
that only a few- people constitute
this lifting incident and
contend that the. Westernite is,
generally speaking, an honest
person.
"People know right from
wrong," explains Dean MiacDon-ald,
"but must be occasionally
reminded."
Flag Okay
SaysBoard
With only four dissenting votes
Monday, Western's legislators decided
to display the American
flag in their meeting room.
The flag proposal met strong
opposition from many, of the
board members who felt that this
was not the year to take action.
A few of the legislators felt
that the flag proposal was not
strong enough and that further
action amendments should be
made to require a silent prayer
and the "Pledge of Allegiance"
before every session.
Terry Thomas, legislator, who1
investigated the American flag
situation, noted that an adequate
flag and stand may cost between
$70 and $100.
"I looked into the situation,"
Thomas said, "and a. three by
five flag with embroidered
stripes and tassels complete with
an eight foot pole and an aluminum
gold eagle will cost about
$75."

REAPING A FULL harvest of money obtained from
ticket sales from the "Harvest Moon" Ball were the
Associated Men Students, formerly known as the
Norsemen. The Ball will be held at 9 p. m. tonight
at the Elks. Hall, in downtown Bellingham. Bert
Pederson, AMS money collector grins as an amateur
"Arthur Murray" pays for his tickets.
