That atrocity at the lop of this column is to be blamed on Tiffany and. Tiffany alone. We co-operated. Just how he got started in photography is an interesting story. First we must go back to his high school days. He took a college preparatory course from Bellingham high (he also took a salt shaker from Hardwick's, but is persistent in his claims that neither have ever done him any good). For graduation his dad gave him a 39-cent Brownie and a roll of film. He's been at it ever since. v v PRATTLE . . . Don't forget the swimming meet tonight. . . . Ole Lee has his name upside down on his license plates every year—he gets the number 337-370, which upside down spells his name—okay, turn it over and look at it then. . . . The Seattle Hotel association was surprised to receive a notice from a Miami group that they planned to come "north for the winter" since it is so cold in Florida at the present time—something screwy here. . . . Report comes through that a London woman was found frozen in solid ice in her bath tub—it's either German propaganda or literature from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. . . . Have you read the book "The Joys of Being a Mummy," written by Tut-tut, one-eyed Egyptian prince? Bode Heads Installation VOL. XXXVIX—NO. 17 Western Washington College of Education, Bejlingham/Washington Friday, February 2,1940 Bette Bode, WWC freshman, recently was installed worthy advisor of. the Bellingham assembly No. 17, Order of Rainbow Girls. Ernest Wolff Rejoices In America; Student Response Pleases Him There was a little man who was there—and happily so—at WWC last Friday. He sat at the piano and played and sang to an audience that he enjoyed as much as it enjoyed'him. That little man was Ernst Wolff, an artist sincerely earnest in his presentation of lieder. Black-haired, beetle-browed, with his brown eyes shining, he stood in Nils Boson'r, tiny office after the assembly performance and talked exuberantly of his vocation, his country, his audiences. ' " His country? It is our country. Mr. Wolff is becoming an American as fast as possible—and he is the living example of a German who is* glad he isn't in Germany. He has his first citizenship papers, and he said, with joy on his face and pride in his voice: "I am one-eighth of an American!" WWC Musically Intelligent Our country is growing in the appreciation of music. That, he thinks, is wonderful. ,He implied that the audience at WWC was rather intelligent, musically speaking. Bemoaning somewhat the present European situation, Mr. Wolff described the magnitude of his would-have-been tour in Europe this year. Pour concerts were scheduled in England, four in Sweden, and eight in Holland—all of which had to be cancelled. Incidentally, he cannot even cross the northern border and appear in Canada, for he still has his German passport. Played Own Piano Arrangement Pleased at the reception /accorded his piano presentation at the conciu^ori of the program, Mr. Wolf f admitted htat it was his own arrangement, played as. he felt4t. "You must sing inside yourself when you play the piano," he said; InquisitiveInstructor Nils; Boson, seriously thinking of the sing-, er's program, inquired, "What do you do when you have a cold?" Not-so-slow Mr. Wolff replied triumphantly, "I play!" And although the loss of his voice would impair his vocation irreparably, indications are that the little man with the shining personality" would still be an erceedingly popular artist. ; Jury Decision Disputed By Owners Jury Evaluates Land Much Higher Than State Offer; Two Owners Not Satisfied Disputing the verdict of the jury, Margaret G. Day and J. B. Hann, two of the property owners involved in the condemnation suit last Monday, filed a motion for judgment in superior court Monday. Other property owners" involved have accepted the jury verdict. All prices were set higher by the jury than the state offered. Nina May Yoes will receive $7,900 in comparison with the state offer of $4,500. Goerge Jenkins and wife were awarded $6,000. The state had offered $4,000. May Muir Forrest will receive $4,200 for property evaluated by the state at $3,000. The jury raised the J. B. Hann property evaluation from $2;250 to $2,500. Margaret Day will get $5,000 for property evaluated at $4,7,50 by the state. The latter two .seek to boost. their property evaluation to $3,804 and $7,000, respectively. Site Indefinite Despite the suit, President W. W-Haggard stressed the fact that" the training school might not be built on the condemned land. Three possible sites are still being discussed. Other than the disputed property, the board is considering the corner of Twenty-First and Sehome Drive and the grandstand site as possible building spots. Lack of playground space is the principal objection to the site originally chosen for the training school. However, the" other sites are disadvantageous because of either distance or difficulty in finding a good foundation. Timely Tips On News Reading "How Not to Read Newspapers" is -t^he-subjectof -Paul -Maerker Bran-den's lecture for Tuesday's assembly. Dr. Branden comments on current events, drawing upon his per- . sonal experiences of over twenty-__ fives years of newspaper writing and editing. After, taking his degree of doctor of philosophy at Berlin university, Branden shipped around the world as a cabin boy on board a 31000-ton tramp steamer. He became an American citizen in 1916. With, the entrance of the United States into the World war, he joined the foreign language division of the Liberty Loan committee. After the war, ' he made frequent trips to Europe to collect material for feature articles and books. Monologist To Come Miss Mary Waterstreet, a graduate of the School of Speech at Northwestern university, will present the monodrama, "First Ladies of the Land Live Again," in the regular assembly Friday. The presidents' wives she impersonates in historical dramas are Martha Washington, Dolly Madison, Sarah Childress Polk, Mary Todd Lincoln, Edith Boiling Wilson, and Eleanor Roosevelt. The gowns Miss Waterstreet wears are replicas of those in the Smithsonian institution. Hair arrangements for each character have been designed to represent the coiffures of the period. Klipsun Sponsors Snap Contest In an effort to improve the Klipsun, college year book, Editor Doug Lince is holding a snapshot contest. Any amateur photographer interested in competing is asked to deposit his entries in the snapshot box at the head of stairs in the main hall. Candid shots of college life-studying, hiking,, skiing, campus snaps—are; what is wanted, according to Lince. Cash prizes, which will be awarded on the merits of pictorial quality, composition, and human interest, will be awarded in .• assembly following the close of the contest. The closing date is February 21 at 4 o'clock. Gals To Gallivant > On the evening of February 15, the WAA folk dancing festival will be held in the new gym of the physical Education building. Numerous countries will be represented in groups listed\as European, British, Southern Europe, and American folk dances.' These will be done in colorful native costumes with appropriate backdrop settings. The festival, under the direction of Miss Virginia Hawke of the Phy- ; sical Education staff, is open to students and£to the public.

XXXVIX—NO. 17 Western Washington College of Education, Bejlingham/Washington Friday, February 2,1940 Bette Bode, WWC freshman, recently was installed worthy advisor of. the Bellingham assembly No. 17, Order of Rainbow Girls. Ernest Wolff Rejoices In America; Student Response Pleases Him There was a little man who was there—and happily so—at WWC last Friday. He sat at the piano and played and sang to an audience that he enjoyed as much as it enjoyed'him. That little man was Ernst Wolff, an artist sincerely earnest in his presentation of lieder. Black-haired, beetle-browed, with his brown eyes shining, he stood in Nils Boson'r, tiny office after the assembly performance and talked exuberantly of his vocation, his country, his audiences. ' " His country? It is our country. Mr. Wolff is becoming an American as fast as possible—and he is the living example of a German who is* glad he isn't in Germany. He has his first citizenship papers, and he said, with joy on his face and pride in his voice: "I am one-eighth of an American!" WWC Musically Intelligent Our country is growing in the appreciation of music. That, he thinks, is wonderful. ,He implied that the audience at WWC was rather intelligent, musically speaking. Bemoaning somewhat the present European situation, Mr. Wolff described the magnitude of his would-have-been tour in Europe this year. Pour concerts were scheduled in England, four in Sweden, and eight in Holland—all of which had to be cancelled. Incidentally, he cannot even cross the northern border and appear in Canada, for he still has his German passport. Played Own Piano Arrangement Pleased at the reception /accorded his piano presentation at the conciu^ori of the program, Mr. Wolf f admitted htat it was his own arrangement, played as. he felt4t. "You must sing inside yourself when you play the piano," he said; InquisitiveInstructor Nils; Boson, seriously thinking of the sing-, er's program, inquired, "What do you do when you have a cold?" Not-so-slow Mr. Wolff replied triumphantly, "I play!" And although the loss of his voice would impair his vocation irreparably, indications are that the little man with the shining personality" would still be an erceedingly popular artist. ; Jury Decision Disputed By Owners Jury Evaluates Land Much Higher Than State Offer; Two Owners Not Satisfied Disputing the verdict of the jury, Margaret G. Day and J. B. Hann, two of the property owners involved in the condemnation suit last Monday, filed a motion for judgment in superior court Monday. Other property owners" involved have accepted the jury verdict. All prices were set higher by the jury than the state offered. Nina May Yoes will receive $7,900 in comparison with the state offer of $4,500. Goerge Jenkins and wife were awarded $6,000. The state had offered $4,000. May Muir Forrest will receive $4,200 for property evaluated by the state at $3,000. The jury raised the J. B. Hann property evaluation from $2;250 to $2,500. Margaret Day will get $5,000 for property evaluated at $4,7,50 by the state. The latter two .seek to boost. their property evaluation to $3,804 and $7,000, respectively. Site Indefinite Despite the suit, President W. W-Haggard stressed the fact that" the training school might not be built on the condemned land. Three possible sites are still being discussed. Other than the disputed property, the board is considering the corner of Twenty-First and Sehome Drive and the grandstand site as possible building spots. Lack of playground space is the principal objection to the site originally chosen for the training school. However, the" other sites are disadvantageous because of either distance or difficulty in finding a good foundation. Timely Tips On News Reading "How Not to Read Newspapers" is -t^he-subjectof -Paul -Maerker Bran-den's lecture for Tuesday's assembly. Dr. Branden comments on current events, drawing upon his per- . sonal experiences of over twenty-__ fives years of newspaper writing and editing.

With, the entrance of the United States into the World war, he joined the foreign language division of the Liberty Loan committee. After the war, ' he made frequent trips to Europe to collect material for feature articles and books.
