^ - Vol. XLIV—No. 27 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, May 3, 1946 Wolfe Tlews and Vl lews By JESS BAILEY BONUS TO FARMERS Starvation in Europe and Japan has energized the United States government into offering a 30% bonus to wheat and corn farmers for afl wheat and corn that is turned in before May 25. • MILLERS WONDERING Millers are being told not to keep over 21 days supply of wheat on hand, and that all the rest must be sold to the government or suffer prosecution for violation of the order. This order has probed the millers into wondering what will happen to their business after the 21 days. In all probability, many mills will have to close while others will operate only part time. A great maay flour mills have, at the present time, wheat enough for a week's run only. • BAKERS DIVERTING Bakers have been ordered to cut consumption of wheat 25%. Since that order the government has cracked down on many bakers for diverting the wheat into making more profitable foods such as pies and cakes. The government contemplates drastic action if this condition prevails and w i I I 'be forced to compel bakers to use a certain amount of wheat flour for bread and a like amount for pastry. • DRAMATIC FLIGHT A dramatic flight to the wheat belt was made by Fiorello H. La- Guardia, UNRRA director general, and Robert H. Shields, chief of production and marketing agency, and Clinton P. Anderson, secretary of agriculture, to carry a plea to 'the farmers for release of wheat to the government for starving Europe. The farmers were not overly impressed in Climax, Minnesota, and Moorhead, Minnesota, and, wanted to know how the machinery worked for payment of the g r a i n . Exasperation filled those farmers who had sold their complete crops and would lose out on the present bonus of 30% above ceiling prices. A turn in events took place when Mr. La- Guardia said that if funds were not soon appropriated to keep the agency alive he would .resign; although the United States government h as already appropriated $2,100,000,000 for the UNRRA. He further pointed out that in China and Europe over 500,000,000 people are depending on UNRRA for subsistence. • FOOD KIN TO PEACE Dr. Irwin A. Hammer sums the situation up thus: "Food is one of the world's most vital weapons and at the same time is a most effective maker of good will. If America desires world peace, if she desires to save the lives of future youth, and if she wants, to convince the world that Christian democracy is the highest form of national cooperation, she must now share with a frustrated and starving world our great supplies of food. We can all work for and support a more intelligent program of world cooperation than we followed after World War I. If we choose any other course we can expect to again sacrifice the blood of our best manhood upon the battle fields of another world war that wil( dwarf all previous wars in its death-dealing and destructive instruments and devices." (Continued on Page Pour) Blekkink Takes Top Office AWS officers for the coming year include Zelma Blekkink as president, Donelda Johnson, vice - president; Donna Redmond, secretary; and Faye Lindberg, treasurer.

Negro 'Four Musical Hit Singing: to an a p p r e c i a t i ve audience, the Southernaires, a well known negro quartet, presented a varied and interesting program at the Civic Music association concert Friday night. The quartet opened its concert with a number of well-known spirituals including "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "Gonna Study War No More" and "The Gospel Train." They included a trio of songs by Schubert: "Impatience," Ave Maria" and "Erl King". A medley of excerpts from Gershwin's folk opera, "Porgy and Bess," were received with enthusiasm by the audience. Comedy was highlighted in "The Little Farm Well Till'd Michieubanjo." Seriousness was the theme in "World of Tomorrow," which was delivered in a ' speaking voice by William Edmond-son. Following intermission the quartet sang "Long, Long Ago," "Tally Ho" and "Just You." The concert came to a close with "The Weather-beaten White Washed Church." For encores the group sang "The Donkey Serenade," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Joshua, Fit the Battle of Jericho" and "Grandma."

Dr. Hicks Speaker; World Analyzed Dr. Hicks of the English department was the luncheon speaker for the Bellingham Kiwanis club Tuesday. Dr. Hicks chose World Government for the subject of his speech and he analyzed the two conflicting approaches of tHe UNO. The first part of his .speech dealt with the advocation of the full use of the UNO p l a n , a n d improvements to be made. This was analyzed with the approach in contrast, that the UNO is hopelessly inadequate and that a new, more powerful organization be formed that would advocate control by indivi-vidual nations. Dr. Hicks was also the guest pianist at the Bellingham Women's Club Wednesday. He illustrated the music of Schumann. Nominations Soon All organizations are requested to meet and nominate candidates for the offices of ASB president and vice-president, three quarter man and three quarter woman on the Board of Control. The nominating .convention is scheduled for May 7. Candidates from all school organizations will attend this and vote as they are instructed by their clubs. May 22 is the date set for the all-school election of these officers. VA Plans Vets' Guide Center Opportunities for ex-servicemen to have assistance in gaining the maximum benefits' available to them under the G. I. Bill of Rights, Public Law 346, and Public Law 16, is provided by the Veterans' Guidance Center. Dr. J. A. Ross explained that the center will be staffed by three men from the Veterans' Administration who are to be stationed at the WWC Guidance Center. These men will serve as vocational advisers and as training officers. Programs of study and on-the-job training will be arranged with veterans who come to the center. His progress will be followed, plus the reception of such additional advise and assistance as the veteran may need. MEASURING DEVICES The college is contracting to provide the psychological testing service required to advice veterans. Each vet has the opportunity to take standardized tests which will be of importance in composing a training program based on his interest and preference, his aptitudes in such areas as mechanical and clerical, also aptitude for college work aimed at a profession. OPERATIONS NEAR Furniture for the office in rooms 42 and 43 arrives this week-end. The Veterans' Administration representatives will be at the college during the coming week to apply their part of the program. Operations at the Center should open before May 15. While this Guidance program is being established to serve all ex-GI's in the counties surounding Bellingham, any veteran in college*under the GI Bill is entitled to the services of the Center. Dr. J. A. Ross has been designated as coordinator for the college. Musical Cancelled Production of "Twenty T h r ee Steps To Go", the musical-comedy which was to have been presented May 17, has been discontinued due to casting difficulties. If present plans can be carried out, a new show will be written and presented next year when more time can be devoted to it. In the meantime, Bill Hunt, Bill Rudy, and Bob Moblo wish to thank the loyal few who attempted to recruit a cast and who wholeheartedly cooperated in backing the show. Majority Students Approve NW Conference Resolutions Resolutions adopted by delegates to the First Pacific Northwest College Conference held last April 5-6 a t Portland, Ore., and the results, of student participation are embodied in the following report from official WWC representatives to the Congress: Mr. McDonald and I gave our report to a full assembly of students at Western Washington College of Education Friday, April, 12. We discussed the objectives of the Congress, we commented on the personalities and the ideas of the three principal speakers, Dr. Egburn, Morrison, Van Doren, and we particularly stressed the importance of students having an active participation in international affairs and presented the challenge of youth in the atomic age. Then followed a full twenty minutes of questions. We felt that the student body of W/WCE was actively interested in the Congress and the resolutions that were drawn up. The International Relations Club was active in sponsoring the student balloting, and also Mr. Hoppe's speech class and Miss Cummins's class in World History participation. These groups distributed the ballots to every class, and a speaker from each group gave a short three minute speech, discussing each resolution. A vote was then taken and the ballots were collected by the class instructors and turned over to the International Relations Club. We have an enrollment of approximately 425 students. Although the entire student body did not turn in ballots, 200 ballots were turned in, and out of the 200, 18 voted against, 181 voted for and one person voted neither way. We felt that the 200 votes represented a good cross section of the student opinion. Some students expressed the opinion that a separate vote for each resolution would have been more satisfactory. RUSSELL SKIDMORE. JACK MCDONALD, Edens Spring Formal Tonight's Festivity "Spring Serenade" Theme of Annual Event; Gordy Geer's Orchestra Will Play for Dancers With the orchestra of Gordy Geers providing the music, "Spring Serenade", the Edens hall spring dance, will start tonight at nine. The place is the Edens hall dining room, and an atmosphere of lighthearted gaiety is promised all those attending by co-chairmen Pat Temperley and Marilyn Lee. Weather permitting, the French doors in the dance hall will be open, and decorations will carry out the spring theme. Dances have been named after various spring flowers, such as the "Wallflower Waltz" and the "Sunflower Stomp." The dance is informal, requiring formals for the girls and dark suits for the men. All students of the college are invited to attend, and tickets may be obtained in the main hallway today. Married men are urged to come and bring their wives. Admission is $1.00 per couple. A program dance, this spring affair will have clever programs with all the dances named. Committee members promise that the dance will really herald the true beginning of spring. Enrollment Has Men Leading "First time in the history of the college that the enrollment of men has outnumbered that of the women," stated Dr. W. W. Haggard. Up to the present day the total number of students enrolled at WWC is 440; 225 being men and 215 women. Enrollment this quarter has been increased over last quarter by sixteen. This incident has not oc-cured for several quarters preceding this year. Also this spring quarter has a greater number of student teachers, the number being about 51. This is the largest number of future teachers for several quarters. Bulletin Publishes Haggard Article Extensive preparations which diffused democratically throughout a community were forcefully presented by President W. W. Haggard in an article on the Campus Elementary School printed by the National Elementary Principal, April, 1946, issue. This bulletin is published by the Department of Elementary School Principals of the National Education of the United States, Washington, b. c "The Result of Much Planning," as the article is entitled, pictures WWC's modern campus school as offering the definite feeling of informality and friendliness. A modified Romanesque style of architecture harmonizes with most of the other campus buildings and landscaping. The interior • designings show the latest in greater planning, including a large auditorium, dining room and kitchen, and the arrangements of classrooms/ laboratories, and workrooms. The Campus Elementary School is a result of much planning in which trustees, faculty, administrators, student teachers, children, and the architect participated democratically, Dr. Haggard concluded. Haskew Surveying Dr. L. D. Haskew, executive secretary of the Committee on Teaching Education of the American Council on Education, will visit WWC Tuesday. Dr. Haskew will spend two days here observing student teaching "and attending conferences. The committee on teaching education is following up a five year national study made some time ago by the American Council on Education at a cost of $600,000. Dr. Haskew will also visit the University of Washington, Washington State College and other colleges while covering the five year study for the committee. Joanne Fisher Wins Contest Miss Joanne Fisher, .Bellingham freshman, was awarded a $300 scholarship when she won the biannual contest of the Women's Music Club Sunday afternoon at the Leopold Hotel. Miss Fisher is the violin student of Mr. Arthur Thai. Mrs. Frank Whipple accompanied .her while she played "Sonata in D major" by Corelli, "Concerto in G minor" by Bruch, and Schubert's "Rondo". Evaun Jensen, piano student of Miss Strange, tied with Norris ^rannstrom, vocalist, for second place. Other college students participating in the contest were Virginia Pendleton and Jean Jordon, vocalists. Campus Day Plans Near Completion With the weather definitely on the better side, WWC is becoming more and more Campus Day conscious. The plans for the cooperative assembly are beginning to take on some shape and form and the various committees are working hard to make this year's Campus Day a day to remember. The transportation committee has encountered a snag. It seems that information regarding the number of students who have automobiles at their disposal is not forthcoming. This committee would appreciate more signatures on the list on the main bulletin board. This information is essential before the committee will be able to determine the number of busses needed. Campus Day is one of the very few occasions 'when the entire student - body and faculty get together for a good time. Someone asked the other day: "Just what is Campus Day?" There is only one way to really find out. Come out to Whatcom Falls Park, May 15. The Campus Day program will be announced in theanear future when each committee has turned in a final report. Brannstrom, Tweit Lead Operetta W i t h Norris Brannstrom and Eloise Tweit as leads, Bellingham high school will present Romberg's "The New Moon," Friday, Saturday, and Monday evenings. The cast of 200 consists of the orchestra, chorus and ballet. Each year the operetta plays to a capacity audience. This year, because the tickets were completely sold out for Friday and Saturday night, the show will be repeated on Monday. The music is under the direction N of John Roy Williams, and the acting is directed by Margaret Gray. •+C Dateline .. . . Monday, May 6—Open Swim at 4:00.

While this Guidance program is being established to serve all ex-GI's in the counties surounding Bellingham, any veteran in college*under the GI Bill is entitled to the services of the Center. Dr. J. A. Ross has been designated as coordinator for the college. Musical Cancelled Production of "Twenty T h r ee Steps To Go", the musical-comedy which was to have been presented May 17, has been discontinued due to casting difficulties. If present plans can be carried out, a new show will be written and presented next year when more time can be devoted to it. In the meantime, Bill Hunt, Bill Rudy, and Bob Moblo wish to thank the loyal few who attempted to recruit a cast and who wholeheartedly cooperated in backing the show. Majority Students Approve NW Conference Resolutions Resolutions adopted by delegates to the First Pacific Northwest College Conference held last April 5-6 a t Portland, Ore., and the results, of student participation are embodied in the following report from official WWC representatives to the Congress: Mr. McDonald and I gave our report to a full assembly of students at Western Washington College of Education Friday, April, 12. We discussed the objectives of the Congress, we commented on the personalities and the ideas of the three principal speakers, Dr. Egburn, Morrison, Van Doren, and we particularly stressed the importance of students having an active participation in international affairs and presented the challenge of youth in the atomic age. Then followed a full twenty minutes of questions. We felt that the student body of W/WCE was actively interested in the Congress and the resolutions that were drawn up. The International Relations Club was active in sponsoring the student balloting, and also Mr. Hoppe's speech class and Miss Cummins's class in World History participation. These groups distributed the ballots to every class, and a speaker from each group gave a short three minute speech, discussing each resolution. A vote was then taken and the ballots were collected by the class instructors and turned over to the International Relations Club. We have an enrollment of approximately 425 students. Although the entire student body did not turn in ballots, 200 ballots were turned in, and out of the 200, 18 voted against, 181 voted for and one person voted neither way. We felt that the 200 votes represented a good cross section of the student opinion. Some students expressed the opinion that a separate vote for each resolution would have been more satisfactory. RUSSELL SKIDMORE. JACK MCDONALD, Edens Spring Formal Tonight's Festivity "Spring Serenade" Theme of Annual Event; Gordy Geer's Orchestra Will Play for Dancers With the orchestra of Gordy Geers providing the music, "Spring Serenade", the Edens hall spring dance, will start tonight at nine. The place is the Edens hall dining room, and an atmosphere of lighthearted gaiety is promised all those attending by co-chairmen Pat Temperley and Marilyn Lee. Weather permitting, the French doors in the dance hall will be open, and decorations will carry out the spring theme. Dances have been named after various spring flowers, such as the "Wallflower Waltz" and the "Sunflower Stomp." The dance is informal, requiring formals for the girls and dark suits for the men. All students of the college are invited to attend, and tickets may be obtained in the main hallway today. Married men are urged to come and bring their wives. Admission is $1.00 per couple. A program dance, this spring affair will have clever programs with all the dances named. Committee members promise that the dance will really herald the true beginning of spring. Enrollment Has Men Leading "First time in the history of the college that the enrollment of men has outnumbered that of the women," stated Dr. W. W. Haggard. Up to the present day the total number of students enrolled at WWC is 440; 225 being men and 215 women. Enrollment this quarter has been increased over last quarter by sixteen. This incident has not oc-cured for several quarters preceding this year. Also this spring quarter has a greater number of student teachers, the number being about 51. This is the largest number of future teachers for several quarters. Bulletin Publishes Haggard Article Extensive preparations which diffused democratically throughout a community were forcefully presented by President W. W. Haggard in an article on the Campus Elementary School printed by the National Elementary Principal, April, 1946, issue. This bulletin is published by the Department of Elementary School Principals of the National Education of the United States, Washington, b. c "The Result of Much Planning," as the article is entitled, pictures WWC's modern campus school as offering the definite feeling of informality and friendliness. A modified Romanesque style of architecture harmonizes with most of the other campus buildings and landscaping. The interior • designings show the latest in greater planning, including a large auditorium, dining room and kitchen, and the arrangements of classrooms/ laboratories, and workrooms. The Campus Elementary School is a result of much planning in which trustees, faculty, administrators, student teachers, children, and the architect participated democratically, Dr. Haggard concluded. Haskew Surveying Dr. L. D. Haskew, executive secretary of the Committee on Teaching Education of the American Council on Education, will visit WWC Tuesday. Dr. Haskew will spend two days here observing student teaching "and attending conferences. The committee on teaching education is following up a five year national study made some time ago by the American Council on Education at a cost of $600,000. Dr. Haskew will also visit the University of Washington, Washington State College and other colleges while covering the five year study for the committee. Joanne Fisher Wins Contest Miss Joanne Fisher, .Bellingham freshman, was awarded a $300 scholarship when she won the biannual contest of the Women's Music Club Sunday afternoon at the Leopold Hotel. Miss Fisher is the violin student of Mr. Arthur Thai. Mrs. Frank Whipple accompanied .her while she played "Sonata in D major" by Corelli, "Concerto in G minor" by Bruch, and Schubert's "Rondo". Evaun Jensen, piano student of Miss Strange, tied with Norris ^rannstrom, vocalist, for second place. Other college students participating in the contest were Virginia Pendleton and Jean Jordon, vocalists. Campus Day Plans Near Completion With the weather definitely on the better side, WWC is becoming more and more Campus Day conscious. The plans for the cooperative assembly are beginning to take on some shape and form and the various committees are working hard to make this year's Campus Day a day to remember. The transportation committee has encountered a snag. It seems that information regarding the number of students who have automobiles at their disposal is not forthcoming. This committee would appreciate more signatures on the list on the main bulletin board. This information is essential before the committee will be able to determine the number of busses needed. Campus Day is one of the very few occasions 'when the entire student - body and faculty get together for a good time. Someone asked the other day: "Just what is Campus Day?" There is only one way to really find out. Come out to Whatcom Falls Park, May 15. The Campus Day program will be announced in theanear future when each committee has turned in a final report.
