WWCollegian - 1940 November 29

              Be
With the Editor
Well folks, the pri­mary
portion of our stu­dent
elections is over.
One of our fellow stu­dents,
Bill Tiffany, is as­sured
a place on the
Board of Control while
the remaining candidates
will battle it out for the
other two positions next
week
tffll Tiffany, WWCol-legion
broadcast _ editor
and announcer will take
his place along with the
two people elected Tues­day
at the board's rec­tangular
table this win­ter
quarter.
Getting back to this
week's and also next
week's election—we won­der
how many of WWC's
loyal citizens are going
to the polls to vote next
week. Last week, after
all those, reminders that
were printed in this cor­ner
only 51 per cent of
the students voteoV
Maybe you aren't in­terested
in who spends
the $5.65 you shell out
for student body fees
each quarter? The femi­nine
enrollment in this
noble institution is es­pecially
indifferent when
it comes to selecting stu­dent
represen t a t i v e s
Maybe they don't apprec­iate
the privilege of vot­ing.
Maybe only men
ought to vote? What do
you think, fellows—and
girls?
The polls will be open
from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m.
next Tuesday, December
3—How about spending
a moment at the polling
booth in room 112?
Oh, by the way, is your
name mentioned among
that vast number of lazy
collegiate citizens which
is printed elsewhere on
this page?
To the everlasting shame of the future, we list the names of those WWC
students who weren't interested, who didn't care enough about who repre­sented
them on the Board, who were just too tired to vote Wednesday.
Most disheartening fact of all was that quite a few of the names about to
be mentioned are those of WWCollegian staff members. After reminders
and REMINDERS and still more BE M I N D E R S were published in
this paper and the election was brought to the notice of those few students
who attend musical assemblies, still, still only a measly few voted.
Just to make sure we wont have to publish the names of Collegian staff
members next week, we are putting their names in bold face type.
Will YOUR name be listed to these columns next week or are you going
to vote in the general election next Tuesday?

LATE FLASHES
There will be no Rec hour this

Rec hour chairman, the perform­ance
of 'Bachelor Born" was deem­ed
of enough importance to halt

TIFFANY ELECTED TO BOARD
'Bachelor Born' Stands First Night Review
Before Critical Eye of Cedarstrom
By Dr. Moyle F. Cederstrom
Last night's production of BACHELOR BORN, with Clayton Ross in the
role of Donkin, brings to the Blue Room of Edens hall Ian Hay's delight­ful
story of life at Marbledown school, in pre-blitzkreig England. It is a
charming comedy—a sparkling play of the repercussions aroused by sud­denly
saddling Mr. Donkin, master of Red House, affectionately known
as "the old Moke", with the responsibility of controlling three thoroughly
irrepressible young girls—14 year old Buttons; 18 year old Chris; and 20
year old Rosemary—the children of Donkin's one and only love.
Things happen—and continue to happen. The boys of Red House fall
in love in a body; Mr. Ovington, "the Egg—give him three groans"—head­master
of the school becomes over officious; conspiracies; the boys revolt;
Donkin takes their part and resigns; the BUDC (back up Donkin Club)
goes into action and everything ends happUy with Donkin becoming head­master.
This hasty summary of the play in no way conveys the charm of the
play itself... For the play is England
--^-the- England . of., Mr„ Chips;:-.oJL.
Mrs. Miniver. One is reminded of
Tom Brown's School Days—of news
reeled Eton school boys in caps
and striped blazers—of Mario and
Oliver Alden at the station in San-tayana's
The Last Puritan.
The entire cast succeeded very
well in the difficult task of build­ing
up that intangible quality
known as atmosphere. By the
start of the second act, one forgets
that he is sitting on a hard wood
chair; forgets he is facing across

Publicity Hounds Make the Columns;
Proud? What Do You Think?
My, and areri't there a lot of names in this week's paper? One
story has over 4?0 names of people in it. Maybe they are proud
of that. We're not.
In looking over tha't list, we discovered lots of football players
names in it. Maybe you guys "don't realize it but the Board of
Control decides the athletic budget for 1941. Maybe you like
to play in old equipment. Sure you do.
•Lots of band members didn't vote. Bet that Don Bushell
will appreciate that. His budget comes out of ASB funds.
Board of Control dispenses those funds.
We should talk. Staff members of both Collegian and Klip­sun
were too lazy to cast their ballot.. That's really nice.
The argument has been raised, "Why should I vote when I
don't know anything about the candidates." That's pretty feeble.
The candidates were nominated a good 20 days ago and that
is plenty of time to familiarize yourself with them. All'in all,
we're pretty darn disgusted with the 430-odd names listed at
the top of this page.

PRIVATE ART COLLECTIONS
SHOW IN EXHIBIT
"It is marvelous that we could
get this collection for Bellingham,"
said Miss Hazel Plympton of the
Art department in commenting on
the exhibition now showing in the
College studio. Most of the pictures
are from the private collections of
Bellingham people; the rest are
owned by the college. The display
opened last Tuesday and will re­main
until December 3.
Prominent among the etchers
are: Rembrandt Van Ryn famed,
Dutch artist; Felix Braquemond,
noted French etcher; Anders Zorn,
considered by many to be the best
of the Swedish, school; Kerr Eby,
noted American etcher; and John
Taylor Arms, president of the
American Etchers' association. The
bulk of the work is by contempor­ary
American artists. Included in'
the exhibition are lithographs,
etchings, drypoints,, and engrav­ings.
Members of the faculty who do­nated
pictures are Miss Florence
Johnson, Dean of Women and Miss
Edith Strange of the Music de­partment.
Instrumental in bring­ing
the exhibit to WWC was Miss
Helen Loggie, Bellingham artist.
PIPEMAN KIRSTENSPEAKS
Professor F. K. Kirsten, a 'mem­ber
of the University of Washing­ton
faculty in aeronautical engin­eering,
will speak at the Bellingham
High School auditorium on Friday,
November 29, in an open forum
held by the Association of Univer­sity
Women. His subject is to be
announced later.
Professor Kirsten is known for
his scientific work with the cuclod-ial
propeller, but is better known
by the public for the pipe which
he invented, and which bears his
name.
Marionettes Dance
Next Tuesday
Life-like, gorgeously costumed
marionettes moving against elab­orate
Egyptian and Roman back­grounds,
with an accompaniment of
weird desert music, will be brought
to the WWC stage when Olga and
Martin Stevens bring their latest
marionette drama, "Cleopatra," to
the Tuesday, December 3, assemb­ly.
The entire three-act, 10-scene
production, which presents in dra­ma
form the reigning years of
Egypt's most famous queen, is the
work of Clem D. Easly, who wrote
the play, and Mr. and Mrs. Stev­ens,
who designed and built the
marionettes, the scenery, and prop­erties
at their marionette theatre
in Middlebury, Indiana. The ac­tual
performance of the play is also
the work of Mr. and Mrs. Stevens
alone; they not only manipulate
the marionettes, but carry all the
speaking parts.
This will be the Stevens' third
appearance at WWC; "The Nativ­ity"
and "Joan of Arc" were their
two previous marionette presenta­tions
here.
WWC CURRICULUM MAY
UNDERGO CHANGE
Radical reconstruction of WWC's
curriculum may be the result of a
very critical survey which is be­ing
conducted by the faculty cur­riculum
committee, according to
Dr. Irving K Miller, chairman. On
the other hand, Dr. Miller said, the
outcome may be a strengthening of
the faculty's belief in the validity
of the present curriculum, with on­ly
minor changes to be made.
As some time in January the
curriculum committee will hold a
conference with a group of prin­cipals
and superintendents from
throughout the state to get then-suggestions
on teacher training.
The curriculum committee, which
is composed of 10 faculty members,
four of whom are on leave this
quarter, meets every Monday aft­ernoon.

Dane's "The Arrogant History
of White Ben," which deals with
this subject.
The book, a satire on dictator­ships,
points out possibilities for
Fascist activities in Britain.

many books of this type at their
meetings, which are held the first
and third Mondays of each month
in the Edens Hall Club room at 7:30
'p/-m.

DESTROYERS DROP HOOKS
IN BELLINGHAM BAY
Three USN destroyers, the Gil­mer,
the Brobks,; and the Hatfield,
paid a surprise visit to Bellingham
last Monday .afternoon at 4 o'clock
and dropped anchor in Bellingham
bay for the remainder of the week.'
No explanation was given by
Navy officials for the surprise visit,
but there is a rumor that Eliza
island-* a favorite camping site of
many Bellingham citizens, is to be
used by the Navy for target prac­tice.

These ships which can be viewed
from the third floor of the main
building are of the same type that'
were sold to England a few months
back. Each ship carries a per­sonnel
of six officers and 120 men.

^man^was^ elected four quarters
meh?S:vbr\women's representative to
the Board of Control at the pri­mary
student election held Wednes­day.
None of the candidates run­ning
for the two other positions on
the board received a majority, thus
necessitating a run-off election
which will be held next week.
;T6jvfour; quarters women's rep-resieritative
BETTY RUSHER and
JANE HAMILTON eliminated Jes­sie

women's representative BILL JUN­KIN

Polly Phelps. The, winners
for these two offices-^^^ibe de­termined
next Tuesday,^TJ^cember
3. The polls will be open from 8
a. m. to 4 p. m., as usual.
Four hundred and thirty stu­dents,
just 51 per cent of the total
enrollment at WWC, took part in
the election. This is a somewhat
lower percentage than for last
spring quarter. The women were
especially lax; only 45 per cent of
the feminine enrollment voting.
Fifty-nine per cent of the men
voted.
Paper ballots were used in the
election this past week because the
city has the voting machines tied
up in the annual municipal elec­tion.
It is hoped that they will be
available for student use next week.
WWC SYMPHONY CONCERT
POSTPONED SEVEN HOURS
Because there are many orchestra
members who are public school mu­sic
teachers and therefore would be
unable to attend the orchestra con­cert,

10, the concert has been
postponed to 8:15 p. m., December
10. <
The program will consist of the
"Euryanthe Overture" (Weber);
"Siegfried Idyll" (Wagner); "Con­certo
No. 2 in C Minor" (Rach­maninoff),
with Dr. Arthur C.
Hicks, pianist, of the English de­partment

Climaxing a week-end of mount­ing
pictures and taking photos of
the football team, the Klipsun staff
announced today that the opening
section of the annual will be com­pleted
