Gerald Varner, retiring editor, commented favorably toward the new editorial staff and said that he thought both the plan and the editors , were wise choices made by The Crier staff. "Our paper this year has un­ doubtedly been better than since pre-war", he said, "but the pros­ pects for next year look much brighter and I will certainly be dis­ appointed if the boys don't show an improvement."

New "Jinx" Attacks Campus Crier In Attempt To Give Registration News Students who persist in getting tangled up in the various procedure required to enroll in college aren't the only ones with registrar problems. The lengthy lists, pages, booklets, and class, cards that enrol­ ling students must fill out to give facts, figures, and ^various other information before attaching their "John Henry's * to the final application form is a minor problem in the eyes of the Campus Crier. As Gerald Varner, editor, describes it, a new "jinx" has arisen to hamper the efforts of The Crier to give news coverage of all campus - and school af­ fairs. The problem is that of get­ ting the pre-registration informa­ tion released by the registrar's of­ fice into print so that students will know why, where, what, when, and how to do the above mentioned tasks. " Three times this school year the pre --registration information was dropped in The Crier box with the request that it be printed for the benefit of. the student body. And three times this year the informa­ tion did not appear in print. Fall quarter it was not used be­ cause The Crier was not printed from November 20 to December 11 due to the Thanksgiving holidays. The information was not available on the 20th and by the 11th, pre- registration had ended. For the ommittance winter quar­ ter, two excuses could be advanced but neither of .which is plausible. The type was set, but due to an oversight in makeup—it did not appear in print. That was one ex­ cuse the other was the super­ abundance of news, some of which had to be -withheld. Thus the jinx gained momentum. And last week, the third, and pay-off round, stuck a dagger in the hopes, of The Crier to overcome "the threat from nowhere." The information was received, as usual by the editor. But that was the end, as it got lost in the pages of the notebook, that should, but perhaps doesn't, contain notes from the professors' lectures. This week another attempt is be­ ing made to print the pre-registra tion information in Ttjfe-,. Crier, but The Crier staff will be little sur­ prised indeed, if it does not ap­ pear. • DANCE CONCERT WILL SHOW FRIDAY NIGHT A group of nine dancers will establish the working theme of the Dance club's dance concert to be presented tomorrow at 8:30 p. m. in the college auditorium. A group of second and sixth grad­ ers will round out the scene of the presentation of "The Yearling" bas­ ed on Marjorie Rawling's book in one of the main features of the con­ cert. Elsie Bucke will portray Baxter, while Mary Long and Joyce Wood will dance as Ma and Pa Baxter respectively. The program is divided into two main parts, the Yearling being second on the program. The first section will develop ideas of the play dance has on life today. There will be square and.country dances by the Do-Si-Do Club, a takeoff on student teaching, a Cuban number danced to Mala- guena, a ritual type dance done to the Song of the Bayous, a jazz num­ ber to Manhatten Serenade, and three short poems.

It seems that such a campaign is going on now with indiscriminate "rWUbaiting, subjection and virtual eradication of minority groups and th^' loss, to segments of our popula­ tion of certain civil liberties. This is allbeing done with the specific in­ tention of preserving democracy for the American people and their heirs. To • hear the well meaning (I guess) individuals talk of preserv­ ing our American "way of life" you w#ulri think that a "democracy" .was a form of government and that is -that. A democracy is not a type of government that is established and .will remain democratic come hell or high water. Democracy is a way of lift that is retained only through the expressed actions of a dynamic iandliving citizen body. When the public becomes compla­ cent and acquietent, that is the when we arc- in danger of los­ ing what remaining democracy we still possess. Those people who re­ frain from using their vote to exi- press their wishes and who say that it Is the politicians who must run the country do-not have a right to call themselves' citizens of a demo­ cratic state. Democracy is not something that 'cm be bought, bartered or stolen. Democracy is not a quality to pos­ sess by merely saving you possess it. Democracy is a way of life that can be attained and retained only through the concerted action and interest of an active and dynamic jpublic. .It might be added that one of the Chief characteristics of the Fascists tis to discount the possibility of an alternative way of life even though a /proposed alternative may be, and usually is, superior. The great danger to democracy today lies in the degradation of statesmen who have sworn to up- hold the principles of democracy, twit in order to satisfy their own in­ terests, are retaining a few minor aspects and sacrificing the substance of the democratic way of life. ' —Russ Cammon • DRAFT FOR PEACE Once again the politically minded patriots have an issue to stir the American public. . Playing on the pdfct war fears of the nation they are seeking to pass a new draft law under the guise of national security. As it happened during the war years, the draft will take the cream of the youth who are embarking on the period of life which is the" foundation for their living in years to" come. Militarists are building up a mass hysteria to back the plan. They have evidently contacted every lobbying group in Washington to aid them in their scheme. High minded military leaders plead for a a draft law, and as a secondary pro­ cedure, they ask for fantastic mil­ lions and billions of dollars to use as military expenditures. We question their motives. Why riot find *out from the young men of America why they aren't enlist­ ing in mass numbers? Why isn't there a concerted effort towards the lasting world peace which has been fought for in two world wars? Why can't the money - which would be needed for military training be de­ voted to aiding the world in its quest for peace? Perhaps the blood that flowed at Tarawa ,the broken bones at Anzio, and the calls of the mortally wound­ ed in battle all over the world haven't penetrated the dense fog that surrounds Washington, but if they do they will not be calling for a new draft law. Those voices Will call for peace, and the peaceful way of life, that Symbolizes America. (—Editorial written by William Sauve and taken from the May 7 issue of the Whitworthian). to wouldn't wait until November do it either. A look at, the distributions made possible by this "shafting" of the Aniericans shorts that 40% will go to the 5 % of the people ivho inake an annual income of $5,000 or more. Meanwhile, 50 million taxpayers will get the other 60% . This will be in such small sums that it will hardly be noticeable. And at the same time the national debt is soaring past the $253 billion mailt, six times high­ er than during the pre-war years when we were worrying about "our" national debt. . Add to this the billions that will be going to Europe under the new Foreign Assistance Act, and then the military has guts enough to ask for additional billions for rearma­ ment and militarization of the Amer­ ican youth. This in a country that practices the age old maxim "free­ dom of enterprise," a system that no longer has the original meaning of the fundamental rights of man. Other of the numerous interesting features of the Knutson tax cut bill include such fine loopholes as the one that will permit the big indus­ tries to cash in their war profits with an- additional 59.1% higfier return. Of course, we should not overlook the fact that much of this will be given to the political parties as a "complimentary" hunk for this year's election campaign. And in turn the political parties will be obligated to recompense the capital­ ists that helped get their men elect­ ed. A, vicious circle in my estima­ tion, but a flowery one Indeed to the capitalists, politicians, and per­ haps the liailitary. Coalition? . So long, fellow sucker, and Am­ erican. —Gerald Varner.

Then look at the cor­ responding percentage figure at the right, and you have learned the amount of additional profit you will be making annually, compliments of the new Republican tax cut. Basically, that is the content of die bill, but there are other inter­ esting implications. For instance, you may note the difference of your increased profits over those of the other income brackets. One might well doubt the right of a mere capital-less college stu­ dent ' to' priht the above' chart as officially released by the U. S. Treasury department—certainly the capitalist owned newspapers did not print it. The "big" newspapers had free access to the information, but this paper had to resort to the Pro­ gressive magazine to get the dope. Maybe we do have freedom of the press—but should that freedom in­ clude a purposeful intent of the "public-service" newspapers to free­ ly withhold news such as this that the public should have, just so that the newspapers might help their capitalist friends obtain the new benefits? Meanwhile, the newspapers themselves are getting their just share of the new "exploitation" of the American public. The American people did elect the Republican Congress, knowing and endorsing the fact that they were to cut the taxfs. We cannot question the American public for this. But, brother, to put it lightly, if the Am­ erican people only knew half of the story of this tax cut, they would start electing a new Congress. They To The Editor : Another successful Mothers' Day has slipped into college history, it was estimated that about *225 moth­ er^ visited the campus, and they all seemed to enjoy their visit. ^Certain­ ly letters from their sons and daugh­ ters will have more meaning to them now that tftey have become ac­ quainted with the campus. , But why should only the mothers be honored? Other colleges and uni­ versities recognize Father's' Day. Why not have a Father's Day at CWCE? Prbbably the main objection to this idea is that Father's Day comes in June. But we could have our ob­ servance of the day in the fall, per­ haps , where therk . is a big football game, on, with the fathers as special guests, There should be other events, too, scaled, to-a man's interests, biif de­ signed to fill, ,the same purpose of those, on Mother's Day^-a banquet, a program and some social function at which the men could meet their son's and daughter's classmates and the faculty members.

ISMS DEFINED (The following definitions of the various isms was introduced at Cen­ tral by Dr. Ewelyn Odell who read them to his American Government class recently. The origin is a high school text book.) SOCIALISM: if you have two cows, you give on to your neighbor. COMMUNISM: If you have two cow§, you-give., them to the govern­ ment .and the. government then gives you some milk. FASCISM: Lf you have two cows, you keep the cows and give the milk to the government then the govern­ ment sells you some milk. NEW DEALISM: If you have two cows, you shoot one and milk the other, then you pour the milk down the drain. NAZISM: If you have two cows, the government shoots you and keeps the cows. » CAPITALISM: If you have two cows, you sell one and buy a bull. DR. ISLE SAYS "America, since World War II has changed from being the advanc­ ed guard of liberalism to being an exponent of conservatism and re­ action. "We have ceased to be the cham­ pion of the oppressed and have be­ come instead the defender of the priviledged." (—^Quote Of iDr. -Walter Isle, 300 YEARS HENCE Assuming that World War III will be averted, it is easy to conceive that society will undergo more intensive changes during the next 300 years' than it has since the emersion from the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages man's position in society was determined by birth. This was an established precedent, and few attempted to depart from it. As individualism and nationalism arose, the present conception of society was evidenc­ ed. That conception is one of in­ dividual enterprise with the nation state serving as the supreme center of patriotism. With loyalty to the state the only "must," each person may make his position in society according to his individual basic desires. Today, one person may in­ sure satisfaction of sooial needs by participating in sports, another per­ son may insure the same end for himself by making straight A's, an­ other by talking about the latest gossip, another by being the life of the party," etc. But all are working for the same objective. That is social dent of Eastern Washington College of Education, taken from the Whit­ worthian). esteem that, is satisfactory to the individual de&irefe. - Tctoiotrow, the same basic results will be obtained Thfe only difference wiil be in the method of acquisition. The answer will lie in a well-or­ ganized world government based up­ on a new system derived from a merger of democracy, socialism and technocracy. This system will per­ mit each individual to take the pos-, tion in society that he desires. That position will not be determined by either birth nor aptitude, nor will it be necessary to resort to "rugged individualism" to attain that posi- tion. This Utopotiah" dream is based on the theory that complexity is bad only if it is not well organized. Organization solves the problem re­ gardless of complexity. This idea has its insurmountable obstacles at present, and we can not hope for the attainment of this objective be­ fore 300 years.

The^voices of yesteryear were concerned with the establishmentof the realization of the rights of man. Today those voices represent a supposed desire to retain the rights of man. * * * The most influential voices we h&ar today are those that proclaim communism as a threat to the freedoni loving peoples of the world. They refuse to*" "'.rj, ^ ~ , . . . . . | evils, they hope to find • willing explain why it is a threat but rather they rest with the sup­ position that all men realize a danger. That danger is nothing more than a fear—a fear of1 some­ thing unknown. satfttf tifen-go to ridiculous extremes in denouncing an ideal of the common .man, unknown to Aniericans but nevertheless, an ideal that has raised the peasants of one nation from the stages of fuedalism to a plaice in the world of the common man during the short period: of history since 1917. This proven- fact of history- is obviously, deliberately overlooked by the so called defenders of our American heritage. Ahd in doing the above mention­ ed these same defenders go to the other extreme and promote and defend the very thing we fought against in World Wir II—that is facism and- its conotations. In China, they support a dictatorship that in turn supports the fuedal landowners, pommunism offers an economic system favorable to the Chinese peasants. Lock me up if you like, but I say the truths—we do not offer anything favorable to the Chinese peasant, except the so called good name of Americanism And, in its present sense, that is hard on the digestive tract. * * * The Chinese situation is only one of numerous examples of our sup­ port of fascist regimes. Hie Greek, Argentian, Turkish, and German pictures are similar with variations in each instance. But in all, we are supporting the reactionary groups that have little regard for the good of the common man. it is evident that communism is not winning any battles on its merits, but rather com­ munism moves in where our corrup­ tion fails. * * * And right here at home, they warn us against a secretive, operating communistjparty. They say the com­ munists are practicing violence. Such instances they mention as labor unrest, racial imitations, etc. To hear them talk about the com­ munists, you would think it isn't safe to step outside for a breath of air. (I wonder where these evil com­ munists are hiding. I have been around quiet a bit in these old United States, and I have yet to peer at my first communist). The reactionaries say they are afraid of communists. I challenge this sup­ position and say that it is not communists they fear they fear a lack of support of the peoples. By scaring the American people with ^ about doubtful bayonetters for another reactionary vs. freedom war. • * * And talking of wars, everyone is doing it, I only fear that both sides that it will be difr. ficult to choose .slides.' I am just as. sincere when I make this dtatement as Forrestal is when He implies that we should defend our. oil-interests in the Efest. The chief difference is that Mr. Forrestal's offense would Include human blood—mine would only include the Mood Of "rats.*' IVjie F. One of the most runAmerican groups in . our country today is the UnAmericaa Activities Comnitttee It operates in our .state under the title of, the Canwell -Committee. It "digs" communists out of old age pension groups. . It says there are 4,500 conmiuhists in our state. My: my, that is % sizeable amount of communists in- any man's language! But, if I may, I would like to ask the canwelters how many fascists there are in our state. Embarras­ sing? How was I to know you had -been too busy looking*, for. com­ munists to- devote- any time to the fascists? After all the fascists aren't important, I guess* We de­ feated them in the last war. Of course we encourage them all over the world todayJB^. we must have allies if we are ito ^defeat the com­ munists. (After lidc the com­ munists we can ask them to help us defeat fascists Of course that wouldn't be- necessary- if we should go fascist while defeating communism). * * • And it is our democratic duty to give uj» our civil liberties in order to throw everything (even demo­ cracy itself, if necessary) at the communists. Hie Mundt-Nixon bill will do this for us. Our far-sighted House has already passed it, it goes to the senate this week. We will brand the senate unAmericah if it doesn't take our freedom away so we can defeat communism. Then it Will be President Truman's Ameri­ can duty to deAmericanize us by signing the bill. Hie hill takes away freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of trial by jury, among others. It makes it unlawful to work for racial equality, it deprives citizenship, it deprives unions the right to strike, and it catches all non-conformers. The status quo, it must be main­ tained at all cost. But it doesn't quite make sense. We are to retain the status quo, but at the same time we take away Americanism. Fasc­ ism?

MISS SIPMSON GIVES REPORT ON WORK OF UNESCO CONFERENCE UNESCO's "grass roots" policy to reach back into the community and from there into the outside world for the promotion of better under­ standing was further demonstrated at the Pacific Regional Conference on UNESCO, according to Miss Mary Simpson, associate professor of education, who returned as a dele­ gate last week. Miss Simpson served on the educational unit. It was one of five units, each consisting of over 100 delegates. Three main objectives of this unit were: (1) Relationship of local community to world under­ standing, (2) What the schools can do with children to encourage under­ standing and good will, and (3) What we, as Americans, can do to encourage in other nations inter­ national good will and understand­ ing. "No group or unit could specialize," she said. "The education group was not a meeting of teachers only. Business, labor and newspaper men —people from all walks of life- were represented. Even junior and senior delegates from high schools attended the convention." As a practical suggestion for how the problems of the unit could be met, she said several examples were offered. One provided for a "friend­ ship train" of books, textbooks and other educational material to be sent to other parts of the world. Another, which is already in pro­ gress, provides for.the exchange of Students, teachers, and scholarships in our country with those of other nations. .While only one -delegate among 2,000, Miss Simpson pointed out, it Was rather difficult at times to see What the conference was accomp­ lishing. "But the conference as a Srhole was a success," she said "People are thinking and working, putting their thought, heart and Jhind into it to create an emotional attitude in people .of a community for understanding and peace." Besides the unit on education of which Miss Simpson was a member, the four other units dealt with com­ munications, cultural interchange, human and social relations and natural science. These groups would meet the equivalent on one-half a Iay. The rest of the time would be spent in plenary sessions at which nationally known authorities would speak. first regional conference on UNESCO, representing seven far west states and Hawaii and Alaska, convened in the same room of fhe San Francisco Opera House in which the United Nations \vas born. The theme of the conference was "Meeting Crisis with Understanding —You Can Help." Miss Simpson represented the Washington State organization of Administrative Women in Educa­ tion. She is president of the group. Her first talk on the conference was given last week as a guest speaker at the Ellensburg Rotary club.

C.—(I.P.)— The highest light in the nation's capital now shines from the tele­ vision tower of WMAL-TV on the campus of the American University high above the Potomac River. With a million dollar new studio, tower, and transmitter, the station is the first specially designed television station. With a staff of forty WMAL-TV originates the trans­ mission of events which are making history in this city. Already with one of the most com­ plete radio curriculums, the Uni­ versity this fall will expand its cur­ riculum in television and electronic physics. Perhaps the most import­ ant program is presently to go on the air when the American Uni­ versity with the co-operation of the United States Department of State presents "America's Foreign Policy." This will be a weekly show trans­ mitted over the television network of The American Broadcasting Com­ pany. The program is planned and produced by Paul F. Douglass, presi­ dent of the University, in coopera­ tion with State Department experts, the University faculty, and WMAL- TV staff members. He: I understand kisses speak the language of love.

The I.K.'s lived up to their motto, "Service, Sacrifice, and Loyalty" in great style last weekend when they went all-out for the old school and' let studies go to "heck." The first,bit of labor for the day his boys when they pinned the can vas around Tomlinson field for the afternoon's track meet. At noon an­ other group of I.K.'s, ..assisted by Iyoptians, undertook to find and guide a horde of visiting high school seniors around the campus and through the various departments. When this was over, the club swung into its final and most exasperating job of the day—the track meet. The wind was strong and the praise weak, but we did our duty: which consisted of setting up and taking down hurdles, keeping the spectators .off the field and track, announcing, events over the P. A - system, and taking down the canvas after the meet The meet was a huge success both in organization and outcome, sirice we won, and the I.K.'s are glad it's over for both aforementioned rea- soris. The old members were scheduled to enjoy a picnic Sunday-afternoon at Vantage at the expense of the new members, however, the weather man intervened and a few loyal but damp picnic fans retired to Taneum which was higher and drier to eat their lunch, while the remainder of the group retired to their respective dwellings to dry out. Sweecy day will find the I.K.'s undertaking two projects, both of which should catch the eye of all you weight conscious guys and gals. The first is the job of carrying chow trom the Sue dining hall to the picnic field. The second is our booth which is under the direction curator, Washington State Historic­ al Society. « Dr. Reginald M.

e THE CAMPUS CRIER MAY 27, 1948 Wildcat Tracksters Score Impressive Win In Triangular Meet At Central The Central Washington College3- thinclads ran roughshod over the St. Martins and Pacific Lutheran college track teams, Saturday, in a tri meet held on Tomlinson Field. The fast improving Central squad ran up a 90% point total. Second place PJJ.C. garnered 59% followed by St. Martins with 12. Bob Box raced to twin triumphs 3n the 100 and 220 yard dashes. The "Wildcat Speedburner" turned in a 10.1 hundred which was impressive considering, the strong headwind •which the runners were forced to buck all through the meet. Box had to come from behind in the last 40 yards to nip Anker of P.L.C., in the 220. Qlen Baker showed rare form as he sped to victory in the mile run. Baker's time of 4:43.1 was parti­ cularly amazing considering the strong "wind. Hoyt and Schooler of Central finished one two in the 220 yard : low hurdles. The two were neck and neck all the way with Hoyt the tape jjust inches in front. Both flashed to victory in their respective time trial heats. The high hurdles saw another stirring finish with three men hitting the' tape almost simultaneously. Belland of P.L.C. : won the event with Lynch and Hoyt of Central copping second and third. This was the last meet of the season before the conference meet this" Friday and Saturday at Ta- coma. Central will enter the big finale as the main threat to capture the meet from defending champion Eastern. Central and Eastern did not meet in a regular season engage- • ment .due to a postponement.

OUR COLLEGES MUST IMPROVE STANDARDS TO RETAIN OUALITY LEW1SBURG, Pa,—(LP.)—If col­ leges are going to maintain high quality while teaching more stu­ dents, they must improve standards both for admission and graduation, according to Dr. Donald G. Stillman, associate professor of English at Bucknell University. Dr. Stillman declares that a few institutions of higher learning, which are taking the lead, realise that now .is the time to improve educational plans to meet the chal­ lenge offered by maturer students now attending college. "Veterans are especially critical of. requirements and teaching meth­ ods," he «ays. "We have the op­ portunity to answer'their criticisms and improve the effectiveness of higher education. But the great number of students applying for admission is a force which will tempjb manr a qqllege to ignore critical " The TOtdan educa? tiori, and hedegree, but the t^ are. not synonoymous, Dr. Stillirian" believes Jn~ the case of the veteran whp may be able to do advancedwork without prerequi­ sites, colleges must decide whether his experience is to be recognized and: permit him to go faster. Dr. Stillman proposes comprehen­ sive examination in prerequisite courses, with credit given if the student shows superior ability and initiative to fulfill requirements faster than old standards allow. "Adherence to artificial standards will make some of the earnest stu dents withdraw Voluntarily," he states,' which will not affect the number attending, but will certainly affect the quality of work done "Loss of superior students makes any conscientious college take stock of its shortcomings." KENT, O.—(I.P.)—Using va new angle of attack on the problem of slow readers in college, the Read­ ing Clinic of Kent State University has been 90 per cent successful since last October. More than 100 students completed the clinic's special four week (now five week) course last fall, with many doubling their former speed of reading and comprehension. "This short coursk will work for people who stay in and strive con­ scientiously," says Dr. W. Leslie Garnett, director of' the group. Many people, she says, of normal and high I.Q.'s have never learned how to read properly and so will never realize their full potentialities in their life's work. About 250 words a minute is a desirable speed for a college student with many here hit­ ting as high as 800. Recreational reading, outside school, the clinic has found, is one of the greatest aids toward build­ ing up a vocabulary. Without a'good stock of words, understanding - is considerably slowed down, and then marks and interest suffer, All students taking the course volunteer to do so.

LOUIS, Mo.—(IP.)—A thorough-going re-examination of "What the High Schools Ought to Teach" was proposed recently by Dr. John W. Studebaker, U. S. Commis­ sioner of" Education. Speaking before the annual meet­ ing of the National Council for the Social Studies in this city Dr. Stude­ baker declared that despite increas­ ed emphasis on social studies pro­ grams in high schools in recent years, "in too many high schools grave handicaps and deficiencies continue to exist* "These extend not alone to the materials and methods of instruc­ tion in the social studies, but also to the limited time allotments and the general failure to focus instruc­ tion on problems of the contempor­ ary national and international scene." Suggesting that more time be d«r voted to the social science, he de­ clared that "every pupil should have the chance to learn how difficult it was to establish freedom of speech and of the press/freedom of religion the right of habeas corpus and the other American freedoms. "All American boys and girls need a year of World History to under­ stand how precious is: our heritage of, freedom and to appreciate the role of the United States in today's world." V,..

MAY 27, 1948 THE CAMPUS fRIFR SHORT SHOTS • By TONY ADELINE After waiting for several weeks, the students of Central finally gbt a look at the powerful Wildcat track team in action last Saturday. The ease with which the Wildcats romped over their opposition was a pleasant surprise for nearly everyone and stamped the Central squad as one of the teams to Watch for in the Conference meet to be held this Saturday. Although Bob Box was the only double winner of the day, several of the other entrants looked exceptionally good in their events. The duel between the two Central milers, Glen Baker and Hank Hoeger was one of the high­ lights of the meet. The pair literally ran away from the rest of the field in taking the first two spots. The Wildcat^ looked exceptionally strong in the field, copping all but one of the first places and scoring a clean sweep of the tbp,three spots in the high jump. A perform­ ance this ^^k^nd aft good as that put on last Saturday shoulcj briti^f .die crown to Central. Old man/weather stepped in again last Saturday to rain out the scheduled doubleheader in basfeball and the tennis matches fcg^inst Whitworth on the Pirates fields. It is prob­ able that thi games will not,be rescheduled since it is so near the end of the school year. Congratulations are in order for the boys from Cat- mody Hall. After finishing the regular season in third r3pot, the boys from the Walnut street dorm romped through all the opposition in the playoffs to cop the intramural soft- balltitle A few days ago the papers carried an article by an eastern writer (not/ Eastern Washington) stating that it looked' as- though: Harvard would represeht the United States- iti rowing at the coming Olympics. Hfe seemed to belieiv^ thattheWe&tiern crews were not much to worry about. Evidently thfe University of Washington crew rfead thitt: titoiy. The time that the/ established On the Oak', land estuary ill beating Cal was the second best time ever rowed on that course. The Huskies did it without even be­ ing hard pressed. A new record should be in the offing if the Harvard crew is as good as claimed. A second spring sport title may come to rest on the { shelves of the Central trophy case if past events hold true. I The Central tennis team has been taking on all comers with | only a small amount of difficulty. A new tennis trophy i would look nice along side a track prize. For excitement and action don't forget to attend the i big ball game this afternoon on Tomlinson field when the Faculty nine clashes with the "W" Club Bums for the roughly title. The Faculty squeezed through to a 5-4 win over Munro Hajl in a practice game. Dr. "Fireball" Odell will be on the mound for the faculty with Dr. Sam "Slug­ ger" Samuelson behind the plate. The faculty nine will not only carry punch but also paunch into- the game.

THE CAMPUS CRIER MAY 27, 1948 mt Accomplishments of Retiring Student Government Council Reviewed Jim Adamson, president, and his SGA Executive Council are cleaning out their files in preparation to turn over their duties to the newly elected council at the end of this quarter. Despite many handicaps, mostly centered around lack of student interest, this has undoubtedly been the most successful student council from the stand­ point of getting things done, than any council since pre-war days. • If yours truly may, by way of a passing glance, look back far one moment, it is notable that many things for the benefit of the school and student body were accomplished with booming successes. Other at­ tempts were less successful, but nevertheless notable because they laid a cornerstone for future student leaders to rest upon when desirable. Via way of finances, the council met the required amounts and inaugurated an alumni and Campus Club fund. More money was used, and well used indeed. Students who experienced last year's social program and contrasts it with* this year's will bear witness to this. It was SGA committees that persuaded the school to purchase the new arc lamp projector last summer, and SGA that added the Theater parties to the social program. The student government traded the old Nichelo- dean for a new one last summer. This has helped in the over-all better planned, better conducted social calendar. This was partly made possible by better student support and betterment of student conduct. And just last week, a new SGA PA system was used for the first time at the May. Prom. With active support of the student government, Amendment 1, that provides for better representation on. the council, became law. This, coupled with the work of The'Crier and the candidates for office, saw an increased student interest in participation never • before realized here. In regards to out of school participation, the council sent one of its members, Dale Troxel ,to the National Student's Association founding convention at the University .of Wisconsin last summer. It sent representatives, Gedrge Moergeli' and Betty Byars, to the International Relations Conference at the Uni­ versity of British Columbia last fall. And during the winter quarter,' Don Dowie and Mary Lou Shaver were sent to the Pacific Northwest College Congress at Whitman College in Walla Walla. More recently, Adamson and Dowie attended the Pacific Student's President Association and brought back ideas to be inaugurated here. This council published the SGA handbook, "The Straight Dope," designed to oreint the incomihg freshman, for the first time since pre-war. It sent a bus to the Cheney football game, and bought new uniforms for the football team. It bought a badly needed power saw for the drama department and two new typewriters for The Crier. Because of efficient financial planning it witnessed the instigation of a Sports Day for the co-eds. The young council that took over the, reigns of student government last summer quarter was char­ acterized with lack of experience and few helplul hints were passed on by the outgoing council. Despite this handicap, the new SGA officers held a limited freshman oreintation program. Pledged to better the freshman orientation next year, the council has help­ ed the new council plan a modified program. » - Adamson and the council made possible the first in a proposed annual Campus Crier banquet. It ap­ pointed committees for and -directed many of the various traditional social events, including Home­ coming, Senior Day and the Colonial Ball. The term of the present council was the victim of a vicious circle of student criticism that was climaxed during winter quarter. when one of its members, the Campus Crier editor, (myself), was parrying on a concerted campaign to obtain the right for the Crier to criticize the actions of the student council. This reached the high point when a count­ er measure, a student petition, attempted to remove the editor from office. Apparently stymied by the-thought that any stu­ dent should see a need to crticize, the council strong­ ly disagreed, at first. Later, as it became evident that the student' criticism was something more than just a quickly supposition by one individual, the council (at least some of its members) received the criticism In the constructive light and made successful endea­ vors to make corrections. ~~ The result was that the editor won so far as tlie right to criticize was concerned and both the council and the student body profited from the experience. A: unique procedure perhaps, but the result was an ac­ complishment of what any student council, would hope for most. That is actice student* participation in school activities. Now as the school term draws to a close the .re-, tiring council is justly being liailed' as the most suc-, cessful student council in recent CWC history. The* officials weathered the discontent and emerged victorious. ' " ' All must agree that this council did its share in progressing student government and eyes are now turning to the new council and'hoping and expecting a bigger and better school year with bigger , and better "activities cime next fall. Bon voyage to the 1947-48 student council, and welcome to the helm, Council of '49. —Gerald Varner . ' ! —— : ifft-fs. " 2 HONOR STUDENTS NAMED GRAY GOWNS FOR COMMENCEMENT By MARY HITCHCOCK Helen Creighton and Warren Voll- brecht have been chosen to serve as Gray Gowns for the June Com­ mencement according to an an­ nouncement by Dr. Shaw, chair­ man of the commencement com­ mittee. The two members of the Junior Class having the highest academic ratings are automatically chosen for the honor of becoming Gray Gowns. This year both mem­ bers are majors under Mr. A. E Treadwell in Commercial Educa­ tion. Helen Creighton is a graduate of the Yakima High School and trans­ ferred to CWCE from Yakima Junior College. Her grade point average "is 3.54. Miss Creighton plans to attend the University of Washington next year and to major in general busi­ ness. Warren Vollbrecht is a graduate of the high school at Fergus Palls. Minnesota. He is making his home here with his uncle and aunt, Mr and Mrs. Harold Barto. His grade point average is 3.39. Next year he will attend the University of Wash ington to specialize in accounting. The tradition of Gray Gowns was inaugurated in 1944. In addition to honoring the juniors with outstand­ ing scholastic achievements,. Gray Gowns have a very useful function of assisting the commencement marshal, Dr. Shaw, with academic processions at the baccalaureate and commencement ceremonies. TABULATION OF BUDGET PUNNED The retiring and incoming student government councils advanced plans for the finai tabulation of the 1948- 49 budget last week with a decision to contact President Robert E. Mc- Connell with a request that the college administration approve a $1 raise in the student activity fee. . The fee increase was made neces­ sary, the councils .decided recently, because of the general increase in student activities and the*-general trend of rising prices. The total re­ quested by the various departments exceeded the .expected total receipts of $16,200 by approximately $5,000. The residential groups were con­ tacted last week with the proposal that the fee be raised. Groups re ported gave approval of the in­ crease. In addition, SGA committees were appointed to investigate the re­ quested figures submitted by the de­ partments. Committees reporting indicated the following decrease in the original requests: Drama—a decrease of $168.50 for electrical supplies, music —a decrease of $846 for instruments that the school has agreed to buy, and athletics—a decrease of $325 reason not given. Last year's budget and next year's proposed budget as it now stands is listed below: Department '47-'48 *48-*4!' Athletics $ 9,350 $11,475 Women's Ath 50 117 Social 1,670 1,670 Com.
