Question of the week: why aren't the lists of organization officers poisted in the Administration build­ ing ever changed? It seems to me to toe a terrible waste of some very good bulletin board space. How about a little action? 1 . -y". -: m--'-' Mm • By Sheila - - As I sit here listening to the newspaper office's substitute for twin pianos bat out a rhythm in type, I find myself wondering what columnists do on weeks when copy is short. I guess the answer to that is 'go out and make some.' Say, Centralites, it's getting pretty close to spring quarter now and the end of school, so, how about getting in all requested Hyakem copy? Every year we hear plenty of gripes if the annual doesn't come out on time. If you are the secre­ tary of an organization and have been requested to turn in an article, let's get it in, huh? If everyone cooperates with Nancy Ross and her staff, the annual will be here on time! x bat in on a performance of "The Male Animal'' this week and I can see that Chuck Berrisford has done it again—that set was really nice. Have you been through the In­ dustrial. Arts building walkway late­ ly? If you haven't, make it a point to pass through and look at the exhibits there. There are some in­ teresting photographs by the Prater brothers, Gene and Bill. Another exhibit that will catch your eye. was done by the crafts classes. The two showcases in the west end of the building feature articles in leather, wood, plastic, metal, and pottery. Some very clever So Goes The News DICK EICHLER After I had glanced .over the world situation this past week, I felt so disgusted that I tossed it in and told myself that no one can write about a subject as sick as that and remain iij a normal frame of mind. So I went snooping for something a little more enlightening and a little on the less serious side. Hav­ ing before mentioned a few articles which I had read about surveys of college morals, it just happened that I ran on to another one and interesting too. So I thought I would write about the findings of an on-the-campus survey of college morals by Compact, a pocket maga­ zine for young people. Compact's survey was mainly conducted among the women stu­ dents. However many males were also asked their opinion on the different problems. Some of the students attended small denomina­ tional colleges or exclusive girls' schools still others huge co-educa­ tional universities. All the students questioned lived and studied in groups of ten to fifty students. In other words all were actually out from under parental influence. The first question aired was that of kissing on the first date. The standout answer by the males when they were asked if it is proper to kiss on the first date was this, "If a girl gets herself soundly kissed, it's usually because she asked for it." Prom the answers given by the. girls this conclusion was reach­ ed. "Though most girls' do not share a boy's enthusiasm for a good night kiss on the first date, their scruples are of a personal rather than a moral nature. After two or three dates together, they feel there is scant excuse for a girl not, kissing a boy goodnight. As one girl puts it, 'If you don't like a boy well enough by that time you haven't any business going out with him."' The next question involved the problem of necking or petting. The definition of necking by the stu­ dents pertained to "above the neck" and petting as "below the neck" and they said that there was a clear distinction. In asking the student's viewpoints on' necking and their opinions on whether is is acceptable, the survey showed this conclusion. "To most students physical attract­ ion plus genuine 'liking' are enough to justify necking and make it a logical step in the process of court­ ship. The majority agree with the William and Mary student who says, 'A girl has to do a certain amount of field work before she gets married.'" In other words from the, result of this survey it is becoming more evident that neck­ ing is becoming more acceptable. On the subject or petting, the opinion was more sharply divided. Prom the men's opinions came this reply by a Harvard freshman. "There's too much talk about neck­ ing and petting already. It's more important for a girl to be able to dance a good rumba and to know some of the fine points of football than to spend her time worrying about whether.she should pet or not." I wonder what a Central man's answer would be to the same subject. V From the rather varied answers bf the women this conclusion was drawn. "The majority of girls— whether speaking from personal ex­ perience or observation—believe that petting is 'dangerous' even for en­ gaged couples, and that the burden of responsibility rests with the girl." The rest of the report was con­ cerned with drinking and moral standards which young people ex­ pect of their husband or wife. As far as drinking to a temperate amount, that was acceptable, agreed the students, but drinking because you think it is required, that was stupid in their opinions. I found myself . greatly interested in the personal opinions of some of the students which were published in the survey and some were rather surprising in their severity or len­ iency. At any rate since it has be­ come acceptable to'look the prob­ lem of morals and sex in the eye and discuss it socially, I think it is good to examine ourselves and our attitudes occasionally and just see what we consider acceptable and taboo. A properly conducted and reliable cross-sectional survey such as the one I have just mentioned I consider worth reading and analyzing. GLASSES BROKEN?

Prep For March Meet ^ Affable Monte Reynolds, Central thinclad mentor, has/opened con­ ditioning tactics in earnest for his 1952 Wildcat cindermen with the ^annual small college meet at Wash­ ington State College scheduled • March 22. The Wildcats will have entries in the meet says Reynolds, if sev­ eral' of the men can round into shape by that time. Currently going through strenuous condition­ ing exercises are Bob White, dash- man Walt Thorpe, mile and two- miler Chuck Wolther, mile and 880 man, Jack Benner, javelin man, and others. North Idaho State was last year's meet winner. Weather conditions have kept the In First Night NAIB Play Sparked by the 24 point performance of senior George Chalich the Gonzaga Bulldogs shot their way to a 77-73 thriller over the Central Wildcats Tuesday night in the first round of play in Washington's NAIB district playoff.

Although no known Central students (if there were some they were afraid to mention it) witnessed this little affair at Cheney, they say our Cats played a mighty fine game. Game, was the word for it too, as the locals made a valiant effort to make up that 10 point lead the 'Zags grabbed in the third quarter. Little Don Heacox and Bill Lee were in there, dropping 17 and 15 points respectively. Incidentally, center Kenney Teller got up out of a sick bed Monday afternoon to make the trip. A bad case of flu had Teller flat on his back till tram time. * * * * While recalling the terrific lack of enthusiasm shown by the students of this school when the Cats were making plans for the NAIB playoffs at Cheney this week this writer is reminded of a little article appearing in the Portland U "Beacon" for February 29, quote: "Students attend­ ing the Seattle games (this was the ,Seattle U series) will be excused from classes today and tomorrow, according to an announcement Tues­ day from the Office of Studies," unquote. ???? Well, maybe that's what we need here to get us off our hands. Something is needed to help bolster a sag in our moral support of Central sports tilts. Comes spring quarter and a baseball team plays home games without a crowd? A pretty fair bunch of cindermen schedule home meets to watch each other run? You're paying to support your teams it seems the least you would do would be get out and see if you are getting your money's worth. What ever happened to all that high school pep you frosh were so proud of in your big high schools?

Rogers Hornsby, the former Seattle Rainier pilot, has completely re­ vamped his St. Louis Browns with young fresh blood. Tommy Holmes, 'the Boston Braves amiable skipper says young Gene Conley, Washington States former star athlete, is bound to click for the club this year. And so it goes all through the spring training camps—the accent on youth. Watch at the end of the season though, and note the ages of the two or three leading clubbers and chuckers for each league—they won't be rook­ ies! * •''.y'A V^Y _ Victoria of the Western International league has changed the name of its club from the Athletics to the Tyees—"tyee means "big". Well, he did it. The little man with the big scoring ability, J. (Heap Lot Points) O'Brien of the Seattle U. Chieftains hit his 1000 points and then added 30 more just for kicks. The first player since basketball was invented to primp in 1000 points. How long will it stand? Well, he's got another year over there! By the way, they swept both games last week didn't they, Jack? A quote from our old friend up Gonzaga way, Dick Dillman, sports editor of the Gonzaga "Bulletin". Says Dick in his column "Sports Slants" (One of us is a copy-cat!): "What prominent coach from a school north of town looked like a kid caught with his fingers in the jampot when a rival coach walked into Knight's and caught him feeding1 a 7-2 prospect, from the Midwest?" "Answer. Our old pal, Jolly Jim McGregor from Whitworth." "Question: How come this young Paul Bunyan is looking at Whit­ worth and not Kentucky or Illinois?" "Answer: 'Tis rumored that he was attracted by the green trees". , Warning to all coaches—start preparing a way to stop a seven, foot two inch scoring threat from Whitworth—try an axe! '! Here's the way the teams went into the NAIB district at Cheney: Whitworth, won 19, lost 12 Gonzaga, won 17, lost 14 Central won 17, lost 9 PLC, won 16, lost 9. Skagen Chosen To Lead'W Club At the last meeting of the W Club, new officers for the coming year were elected, announced Ted Lea, outgoinjg president. Those elected were Jim Skagen, president Bill Repenshek, vice president Dick Barrett, secretary- • treasurer and Bob Hibbard, ser- geant-at-arms. "A lot of responsibility falls on the shoulders of these in-coming officers," commented Lea. "Many new projects are under way, such as the spring picnic, plans for an­ other smoker, and the new trophy case for the CUB, and it' is up to them to carry these projects through." At the end of the meeting, Skagen voiced the thanks of the whole group for the fine leadership • and the successful 'management of the club during the past year. As many as half a million men­ haden, a species of fish, have been trapped in a single catch. Diamond Men Unkink Arms For Season With regular turnouts scheduled the first clear days, (clear days? What's them???) Arne Pausf's Cen­ tral baseballers are currently un­ kinging last year's rifle arms in daily afternoon warmups in the men's gym. Pitchers and catchers have been given the wofd to show up at these afternoon warmups and. thus far, reserve catcher Wes Borreson, let- terman chuker Dick Gemill, and several other hopefuls have been whanging the old horsehide around in these sessions. The Cats will field a young club this year according to Faust and plan to play a 16-game schedule. If the outstanding team on either side of the mountains can swing it, they are authorized to playoff for the Evergreen title although theirs will be no recognized Ever­ green season this year.

March 7, 1952 Campus Crier O': "Male Animal"—Cont. trustees of the college, is portray­ ed by Dick Hawkins, who plays a "straight" part with all the enthu­ siasm of a person familiar with the stage and its workings. He impress­ es with his easy manner, and shows indications of distinctly profession­ ally tendencies. Babb Dynamic Lary Nelson, in the role of the staid old Lit. prof, Dr. Damon, gives the play a touch of distinction, and appears reminiscent of the great Lionel Barrymore in his character­ istic peech and mannerisms. Fred Babb. playing Ed Keller, the strictly conseravtice trustees of the college, oozes a dynamic personality that if difficult to overlook. Caroline Scott and Angel Greene, as Mrs. Keller and Mrs. Damon, res­ pectively, lend an atmosphere of a spirited women's group to the pro­ ceedings early in the play with their witty, yet talkative, conversation so typical of a group of elderly women. Plot Becomes Tangled As "The Male Animal" progress­ es, the plot begins to thicken, and the intrusion of a second romantic triangle between the professor's sis­ ter-in-law, ably presented by Suz anne Ryan, a present All-American hero, as shown by Floyd Gabriel, and a campus liberalist author, dramat­ ically portrayed by Harley Jones, only adds more interesting tangles to delight the audience The comedy highlight of the show is the intoxicated "party" of the pro- fesor and Michael, the student lib­ eral, where they attempt to unravel their romantic episodes, and the us­ ually quiet professor Turner turns into the savage beast so common in the cave-man era of the past. Director Lauded In a setting realistically reproduc­ ed by the efforts of the stage crew, Marlene Gately portrays quite ef­ fectively the confused colored maid of the Turner household Bob Sevey momentarily wriggles his way into the living room in a typical newspa­ per reporter style Chuck Sapp struts in and out with the bearing and prestige of a baton-twirling drum major and the voice of Boyd Ward effectively informs the aud­ ience of the beginning of the "big game" via the radio. Director William King deserves a bouquet of roses in his lapel for his fine work in guiding these students to present a comedy so richly en­ joyable as to be sure of remaining in the hearts of the audience for months to come. Dr. Max Klingbeil, chairman of the committee on parking, this week reminded students who drive cars to the campus that they must apply for parking permit renewals at the beginning of each quar­ ter. These permits entitle the holder to park in the student sec­ tion of the Administration build­ ing parking lot. Other parking places on the campus are open without permit. During the hurricane season on the Caribbean island of Antigua, winds up to 150 miles an hour blow away everything not securely fas­ tened down. Projection Booth LARRY NELSON Joe Riridal certainly had a stroke of bad luck at Steven's Pass a couple of weeks ago. As I set this down to print, Joe is still on crutch­ es, but that didn't stop him playing in the Variety show, nor from hav­ ing a good time last weekend. You just can't keep a good Norwegian down. I planned to have a few remarks for Charles Laws in last week's column, but the editor had other plans. You see, Charles has always wanted his name in print, (don't we all)," but he has never done anything outstanding to merit any such desired publicity. Finally I dug up something I suppose would be deserving of some kind of merit. Mr. Laws had the honor and dis­ tinction of being on the probation listings for last quarter. •If you have looked at the social calendar, you have probably guessed what our movie for this week is. And you are right. This is one movie that the film suppliers have not substituted . . . yet. Whether they should, or not, is a matter of speculation. "Free for All," an im­ possible comedy, is bur final pic­ ture of the quarter. Robert Cum- mings, Ann Blyth and Percy Kil­ bride (Pa Kettle) are the principal stars . . . stars ... for the lack of a better word. In this psuedo-hil- arious production Robert Cummings is a young aspiring inventor who develops a pill that turns H20 into gasoline. Of course our young gen­ ius runs afowl of problems when he tries to market his wonder product. Naturally the girl presents many complications they always do. Just taking the problems that the female present in any situation, for grant­ ed, the plot develops around the efforts to market the little white pill. The main obstacle in the path of this plan is the wild and desperate efforts of an oil tycoon to steal the hairbrained inventions, Percy Kil­ bride has a million of them, all designed for laughs . . . apparently. Oh well, if you know Hollywood, you know how these .things come out. Possibly it is one of our more enjoyable pictures this quarter, everything considered. Because of an early deadline last week, as usual, it was impossible to say anything about the variety show. Why say anthing at all? Because there was a lot of work put into that show, on stage and back stage. For a college this size, and with t'he stipulations with re­ gard to script that one has to work under, and everything else consider­ ed, it was a good show. More danc­ ing in the dance steps, more thought to numbers rather than oleo acts, and some fine music are just a few over-all things that seem to stand out. Some acts stood out, others did not. Most certainly much credit is due the cast and the people, in back of it all, from Chuck Berrisford to Joan Williams. Western and Eastern, as I under­ stand it are both in favor of having the show . . . which helps. Say, if any of you like good, sing­ ing, if you like Johnny Ray or Vaughn Monroe, or, anone else's style, let me suggest Dick Edwards. That boy has got a voice. Can he sing! What power! He even has about every CWMA to Meet Here Next Week The Central Washington Music , Association will 'be holding its 14tli* annual Music Competition Festival next Tuesday here on campus states Wayne S.
