.. ... : V: J CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION VOLUME 33, NUMBER 4 ELLENSBURG, WASHINGTON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1959 Anne Frank' Set For November Board Meets Commons . Plans for the selection of a new president to replace resigning Dr. Robert E. MeConnell will be for­ mulated tonight at 8 p.m. in the Commons when the CWCE Board of Trustees meet, Victor Bouillon, chairman of the board, announced today. Tonight's meeting has been plan­ ned for a month but the unexpect­ ed resignation of Dr. MeConnell last week threw many new prob­ lems into the board's lap. A reg­ ular agenda has been.set never­ theless, Mr. Bouillon said. "Undoubtedly a choice Will be made on an acting president," Mr. bouillon said, "We will also at­ tempt to establish a procedure for­ mula and criteria, for the selection of the new president." A selection committee consisting of faculty and board members will t»e appointed to screen and inter­ view the applicants, he added. Se­ lection will definitely not be made for several months so the office will not be filled until next year. ? Private Party Pays Tribute To President Approximately. 425 invitations have been sent for the private reception which will ~be held Sun­ day afternoon, Oct. 25, in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Robert E.

Russians Sing For The Fun Of It Notes Traveling English Prof By Linda Anderson A trip to the other side of the Iron Curtain. What kind of people would you meet? What would you see? These and other questions come to one's mind when he thinks of spending some time in Russia —and Miss Mary Mathewson, associate professor of English at Cen­ tral, did just that. She spent two weeks of her summer vacation visiting six cities of the Soviet^ Union. 14th Streets. There is a grove of trees and a building in which a fireplace will be built. With approval of the purchase, improvements will begin and go as far as the money allots. The main part of the project will be the remodeling of the present building into a picnic and barbe­ cue area. It is hoped that stu­ dents will help in getting rocks for the area, Erickson added. This area will be adjacent to future single-students' housing and is close enough to the gymnasium that it will be used by the outdoor physical education classes, Erick­ son said. Some of the border officials .she met were quite unfriendly, Miss Mathewson said. They claimed that her visa had expired and said she would have to return to Warsaw. Finally, however, they let her in. Passports Taken At the Polish border in the city of Brest the trains have to stop and change wheels, because the Russian railway tracks are wider than those in the rest of Europe. During this stop, the officials took know whether the things their pa­ pers said about us were true. The Soviet Union had many more American tourists this summer than it had planned for. Conse­ quently, guides were not always available and sometimes tourists were sent out on their own to see the sights. Many of the guides were people who taught school dur­ ing the rest of the year. One of these teacher - guides, when asked about the Russian students, an­ swered sarcastically, "There are no bad students in Russia—only the passengers' passports. These j teachers or so they say!" passports were not returned until three minutes before the train was to leave. Many of the Russians she met like to sing, Miss Mathewson said. One evening in the diner on the train, they sang tor hours. During this impromptu concert they asked the Americans present to sing, too. Another time a group of Americans was down by the Volga river sing­ ing and before long a large audi­ ence gathered around and even­ tually contributed some of their own songs. American Wages Interest One question frequently asked of visitors was: "How much do you make?" Russians are interested in. the earnings of the American citizen. Another question was how things were going in Little Rock, Arkansas. In general, they are •very curious . about the United States. Some of them wanted to From Moscow the members of the tour flew to Stalingrad. They went from Stalingrad to Rostov by boat, first on the Volga river, then on the Volga-Don Canal and finally on the Don River. Villages along the Don. were especially interest­ ing, Miss Mathewson said. The rest of the trip was by air and included the Black Sea resort of Sochi and the cities of Kiev and Leningrad. While in Leningrad the group went to the magnificent Winter Palace and the renowned Hermitage Museum. They also saw the famous parks and foun­ tains of Petrodvorets. The trip was interesting, but two weeks were enough for most mem­ bers of the group. As the train on which Miss Mathewson depart­ ed crossed the Finnish border, loud cheers went up from Ameri­ cans who were headed back to­ ward their own country. Yakima Galleries Show Bach'sArt, Film On Pottery Fifteen pieces of pottery and ceramic sculpture by Frank Bach are currently being exhibited in the new Stonecourt Galleries in Yakima. Bach is assistant profes­ sor of fine arts at Central. The pottery was created last summer at Montana State Univer­ sity while Bach was attending a ceramic workshop conducted by Peter Voulkos, internationally known potter. The pottery pieces shown range from small stoneware vases to large hand built and wheel thrown forms. While attending the pottery work­ shop this summer and teaching art education classes the second term at Montana State University at Missoula, Bach also produced a color-sound film entitled, "Clay Sculpture by Voulkos." Photo­ graphed in the spacious Montana University TV Studios, the film records the creation of a six foot abstraction. Throwing tall cylin­ ders and spheres on the potter's wheel, Voulkos combines these forms into large clay sculptures which he later fires in a huge walk-in gas-fired kiln. The film will be shown in con­ junction with a one man show at the Museum of Modern Art. freshman from Thorp, as Margot Frank Jean Lucarelli. sophomore frpm Walla Walla, as Anne Frank ' Dave Loughlin, freshman from. Quincy, as Mr. Kraler and Rich­ ard Davis, freshman from Man- son, as Mr. Dussel. Play Rights ^Leased Performance rights for the ama­ teur production of the play were leased from Dramatists Play Serv­ ice, Inc., N. Y. The play was re­ leased for amateur production in the spring of 1959. The original Broadway produc­ tion, starring Susan Strasberg and Joseph Schildkraut, opened on Oct. 5, 1955. It was adapted from the best-selling book, "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl," by play? wrights Frances Goodrich and Al­ bert- Hackett. It enjoyed a long and extremely successful run and met with glowing praise and trib­ utes from the press, Smith said. The motion picture version, di­ rected. by George Stevens, was produced in early 1959 and is play­ ing at national theaters presently. Story Based On Fact : The story is fact taken from the pages of the diary of a young Jew­ ish girl who hid with her family and several other Jewish Mends in an Amsterdam attic during the Nazi occupation of the Nether­ lands. The group was eventual­ ly discovered and taken away to concentration camps, where Anne died of pneumonia. The only sur­ vivor of the group is Otto Frank, Anne's father. The building in which the Franks hid has been converted into the Anne Frank Refugee Home where her father has dedicated his en­ tire life to administering this home to refugee children. SGA cards will be honored as admission to the play. For guests the prices will be 50 cents for children and 75 cents for adults. Trustees Set Building Bids The Board of Trustees meets to­ day to approve final plans for the new Education and Psychology building. This new building will be located on Tomlinson Field approximately where the bleachers are now situ­ ated. Advertising for bids and later calling for the bids will be made soon after the plans are approved. It is hoped the construction on the new building will begin in the early part of December, according to Edward K. Erickson, director of Public Service. Also plans for the new Library have begun and bids- hope to be called around the first of the year, Erickson said. Students, Faculty Retreat Approximately 25 faculty mem­ bers and 75 students will be leav- scene of the first Student-Faculty ing today for the Lazy F Ranch, Retreat ever held at Central Wash­ ington College. Here is the student's opportunity to voice his opinions on the prob­ lems that arise in Central's stu­ dent-faculty relationships, Miss Mc­ Kay explained. This also is the student's chance to learn the other side of the story, the problems en­ countered daily by the faculty, she said. "Pow-wow" is the term used by Zena McKay, chairman, to de­ scribe this event. It is hoped that this will be the initial step toward breaking down barriers between the students and faculty, she said. Jack Remple of WSU will be the featured speaker. Included on the agenda are a student panel discussion, various discussion groups, recreation and entertain­ ment. The majority of the ex­ pense has been taken care of by SGA.

Devilish Demolition Destroys Float, Community Property EXECUTIVE EXCERPTS Conference Views Interest Local SGA Representatives BY DON KNOWLES, SGA PRESIDENT Are you proud? To the per­ sons responsible, I submit this one question, "Are you proud?" The obvious success and hard work of the Homecoming chair­ men was wrecked with one blow —the blow that struck the match that burned the queen's float. Several facts are available which point the finger to local Sandals. According to the neigh­ bors, a large group of boys were milling around the rodeo grounds Saturday night. About 9:30 the float started burning and burned for two hours. All the napkins and decora­ tions were demolished. The flat­ bed was badly burned. If the owner requires, Central will have to buy a new flatbed. The cost will be at least $200—one hun­ dred from SGA and one hundred from AWS. The stairs on the float were scorched so badly that they rtiust be sanded and re-painted. All the lumber was burned be­ yond use. The only reusable parts were bits of chicken wire which AWS had planned to use for dance decorations. The consequences of this act may not be felt until next year when Homecoming rolls around again. When dorms and organ­ izations start to borrow flatbeds from Ellensburg organizations, they may be refused. This year eight rigs were borrowed from the Fair Board. Is this the thanks we must return? Because the float was in the rear of the rodeo grounds, a site obtainable only by some remote road, theory has it that the malicious vandals were college boys who were familiar with the grounds. It is also generally accepted, because of the obvious evidence found, that the persons respon­ sible were drunk. Let's hope so. I'd hate to think that anyone in his right mind would pull such a trick! Homecoming Termed Tops, Students Show Enthusiasm • Hindsights: Last weekend wit­ nessed one of the best Home­ comings on Central's campus. It had new ideas. It had hard Working chairmen who turned out top notch decorations with the theme of "Mardi Gras" and new features on the weekend agenda. Generally commented on as tops for the weekend were the. talent show with its great variety of talent in a different atmos­ phere and the noise rally plan­ ned minutely by the yell staff. The new addition of the fire­ works display was a pleasant change from the bonfire or flancer r The parade showed much in­ genuity and the prizes were well earned — signs likewise. Even the football team cooperated with a close and exciting but victor­ ious game. ' The noise rally turnout was great. Preachers of student ap­ athy would have shrunk in their boots had they been present last Friday and Saturday. No doubt the momentary cause of the great turnout and noise was for prestige of the winning dorm, but it will also serve as a chal­ lenge for the losing dorms. So, Munson and Webster's are the loudest dorms on campus. Can they hold up the title in honor of Central's football team, rather than dorm competition? One more home game, with Wil­ lamette, Nov. 14 will tell the tale. Let's see if these dorms can hold up their enthusiastic "reputations." . Foresights: Rumored for a long time, but true, is the cam­ pus crackdown on scholastic standards. Land grant colleges are supposed to allow admission to any state high school gradu­ ate, but nothing stops them from tightening down on the require­ ments for remaining in school. As one spokesman from a Mid­ western university puts it, "No loafer should be allowed to take the place of a serious student on the campus." Competition is the key word in the sudden crackdown. As "Sput­ nik" soared up, the spirits of American scientists and educat­ ors soared down. Along wftii the influx of war babies and the lack of college space, some screening policy had to be in­ troduced. For the first time last year, Central introduced a teacher- education screening program which will enable the college to continue turning out some o'f the most desirable teachers in the state. ' This program consists of an application to the teacher-educa­ tion program made by all soph­ omores and transfers entering the field. The application pro­ vides a means to evaluate spell- In August of this year, Rich Cornwell and I had the oppor­ tunity to participate in the USNSA, United States National Student Association, as delegates from Central Washington Col­ lege. It was a very interesting and informative conference and re­ alizing that our students should have an understanding of the structure of USNSA the follow­ ing information has been pre­ pared. Students in institutions of high­ er education haye a legitimate concern with all issues which affect them in their role as stu­ dents. This is one of the basic premises of the United? States National Student Association. No matter vyhere these issues arise, whether in this country or abroad , all students everywhere are affected for they belong to a "single commonwealth of the mind." Traditionally American stu­ dents haye expressed their ideas and aspirations through their rer spective student governments. In most cas.es, however, this meant that this expression was limited to the individual campus. Since 1947, Unite^ Slates, stii- deijJbs have been able to voice ttiei? opinions on a national and international leiyel through the tFijtted States National Student Association. The policies anil program of the US tiSA are es­ tablished by tiip annual National Student Congress to which all member schools, of the associa­ tion. majy send voting delegates. This report is a compilation of the existing policies of USNSA a s established through legislation -passed by the elected represent­ atives of American students. The policies and programs of USNSA have, for the sake of administration, been divided into four major areas, The adminis­ trative divisions are called com­ missions. 1. Student Government Com­ mission deals with matters di­ rectly related to the philosophy, structure and techniques of the local unit of student self-govern- ment programming honor sys­ tems freshman orientation stu­ dent judiciaries elections lead­ ership development and the role of student government in the ed­ ucation as well as the greater community. 2. Educational Affairs Com­ mission involves issues of con­ cern to the entire educational community as well as to stu­ dents, such as academic free­ dom, human relations, legislative affairs* institutionalized discrim­ ination, rising enrollments, cit­ izenship, improving the campus climate toward learning, improv­ ing educational services, acquir­ ing more teachers, political awareness and action and stu­ dent participation in counseling and guidance. - 3. Student Affairs Commission has to do with general areas of campus life excluding student government, such as student val­ ues, non-student-government, or­ ganisations, health and safety, athletics, social - cultural - in­ tellectual programming, college unions, student economic wel­ fare, aad student housing. 4. International Affairs Com,- mission deals with relations be­ tween American students and counterparts abroad, including international student organiza­ tions, relations with national stu­ dent groups in other countries, student exchange programs, ed­ ucational travel programs, and domestic international program­ ming. The above material is a sum­ mary of the structure of the association. In the next few weeks, I shall relate our role as delegates in the conference.

Glee Ann Gardner is now representing Kennedy, Bob Cummings from Webster's and Rick Tunstall from Payne and West. SGA appropriated $25 a quarter to the Movie Committee for the purchase of long play records. These records will be used prior to the dime movies. A suggestion was. made by Monte Wilson, SGA Film Commit­ tee Chairman, to have the records also used on, Sunday afternoons in the CUB. This possibility will be referred to the CUB Recreation Commitee. Music which will be featured would be movie sound tracks and light classics.

Money was appropriated to send President Don Knowles and Vice Off The Cuff: Students Give Study Hours Closer Look This year, for the first time, freshmen hours have been estab* lislied for men as well as women. This move has met with several sharp reactions and many ques- tions. Typical' student comments follow. Joan Baker, sophomoie, Off Campus: "I think that the hours are good because if the freshmen were let run on their own time they would accomplish absolutely nothing and the majority of them v/ould flunk out." Monte Glud, sophomore, Mun- ro: "I think that freshmen hours are utterly ridic­ ulous. Just lock­ ing a person in a room' for two hours does not force him to study even if the dorm is kept quiet as Grant's Monte Glud tomb. If this torture had been ap­ plied to me last year I would have pursued my education elsewhere." Margaret Knudsen, sophomore, Sue Lombard: .."I feel that the freshmen aren't babies and have to learn to study sometime . . . why not now? Freshmen hours are a nuisance and require toe much time and discipline to obtain their purpose." Dick Dornfeld, freshman, Web- sters: "My opinion is, we're away from home and on our own so I think we should be able to study w hen we want and ,on our own time." ' Nancy Jones, j freshman, Kamo­ la: "It is an aw- X fully early time | to be in. None of us are used-to-it, but I think it's" the only way we can get any work done. It's hard enough as it is and we need Nancy Jones those hours so we can get busy on homework." Bob Kuvara, senior, Antlers: "Freshmen hours are the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. The college expects students to act like men and women and then treats them like children. After all, if a person can't study with­ out being locked in his room, he doesn't belong here anyway. Treat our students as children and that's what we'll be turning out." Sherry Collins, freshman, Kamo­ la: "I think it's a good idea be­ cause we wouldn't study if we didn't have certain hours. There isn't really anything else we could do after 8 p m. except that it would be nice if we could stay at the library later." George Nelson,! junior, Off Cam­ pus: "The hours for freshmen in my opinion do not correspond with the extreme informality which prevails en this campus. The idea of such a ruling may be good in theory bat if a Sherrill Collins student does not want to study, he won't." president Rich Cornwell to the Union Board Conference in Mos­ cow, Idaho, Nov. 5.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1959 THE CAMPUS CRIER So This Is Central BY DICK ROCKNE Musicville WELL, THE BIG weekend is over for another year. The floats are torn down, the armory is torn up and the students are still par­ tially torn apart. Throughout the festivities, Cen­ tral Washington College showed -off its outstanding point. Music*. The talent show was the first showcase and the quality of mu­ sic exhibited was brilliant. J. B. McCament and his Blue Jays provided the background mu­ sic for the production and did an outstanding job. The band has been featured at two or three dances thus far and has added a distinctive jazz touch to the college here in Ellensburg. The arrangements played by the seven piece group were arranged by Jay during the past summer strictly for the instrumentation present. Most of the numbers of­ fered are jazz standards with a McCament touch added. He and Jerry Frohmader, Central's an­ swer to Jerpy Mulligan, are fea­ tured a great deal. Perhaps the highlight of the Friday night show was the song styling of Miss Sylvia Lake. Her rendition of "Foggy Day" left little to be desired. Although her style is original, she and Dakota Statoii would get along real fine. How about a Sweecy jazz show featuring the "Jays" and Miss Lake? Highlighting the half-time festiv­ ities at the football game was again music. Bert Christianson and his 70 piece band put on a brilliant marching - playing per­ formance after only a few re­ hearsals. Sweecyville here in the Burg seems to get more than its share pf name entertainment. Although Jimmy Dorsey is not supposed to "Swing," his performance Satur­ day night actually "swung." On the alumni front, a gradu­ ate of Central spent this sum­ mer displaying his piano .styling at the "Door," a coffee Espres­ so house in Seattle. Loren New- kirk who is as adept at the class­ ical sounds as at jazz interpreta­ tions, was part of a group or­ ganized by A1 Capps, an sx- classmate of mine at Lincoln High School in Seattle. The group at the "Door" was part of the current youth move­ ment among Seattle jazz circles. Newkirk has relinquished his du­ ties at the pseudo beatnik hangout for more schooling. He is working on a Master's Degree in piano at the University of Washington. Normalcy Returns WITH THE MAJOR activity out of the way for fall quarter, Central will again return to -.normal. Each Friday the suitcases will be packed and each Sunday unpacked or in some cases remain packed aJl week. After looking at the social cal­ endar, I see things are really back to normal dance, movie, movie, dance. Residents of Elwood Manor are trying to point out to uninformed students that it is not a frater­ nity. None the less it's still the closest thing to going Greek I've seen around here. Perhaps fra­ ternities and sororities would be good, perhaps not. What do you think? Rich Venetti, local trombone player, is spinning disks weekends up at KXLE. Cheer up, Rich. I don't mind hearing "Lover Come Back To Me" on all three, speeds Spirit a.t last week's football game seemed to pick up. The streamer idea was good. I see Honor Council now has a completed roster after one member was forced to resign. The group will undoubtedly get back into high gear soon. Confucius once said that "Man who crosses ocean twice without taking bath is dirty double cross- er." So this is Central. Wednesday's Students' Reception Honors Dr. Robert E. McConnell A rception for nearly 1,000 persons was held Wednesday, Oct. 21 for Dr. Robert E. McConnell, outgoing president of CWC and Mrs McConnell. The reception was held from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the CUB. The reception was sponsored by the SGA in appreciation of the 28 vears Dr. McConnell has spent as presi-| — dent of Central. _ Dr. Lind Studies Montana Schools Page Thretf INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT of the Crier photogra­ pher, four new members of the Campus Crier staff gather in the office to begin their new duties.

Staff Members Added To Crier Five students have been added to the staff of the Campus Crier, Miss Bonnie Wiley, adviser, said today. The new editorial board members were appointed by the Board of Publications and approv­ ed by SGA, Monday, Oct. 19. New additions are: Bob Swoboda, senior, from Snohomish, photogra­ pher Weldon Johnson, freshman, from Tacoma, feature editor D011 Ramey, freshman, from Monroe, assistant sports editor Sandy Fleisher, sophomore, from Azwell, secretary and Judy Harmon, freshman, from Spokane, copy ed­ itor. The students were chosen on a quarterly basis and may reapply at the beginning of the next quar­ ter. Students, faculty members, ad­ ministrators, staff members and Ellensburg townspeople attended the reception according to - Don Knowles, SGA president. Dr. McConnell's resignation be­ comes effective Nov. 1. He will be West Coast Regional Repre­ sentative for the United States Of­ fice of Education in the adminis­ tration of the higher education pro­ grams under the National Defense Education Act of 195£. The Mc- Connells will live in San Fran­ cisco. Mrs. Schnebly Assists Mrs. Olive Schnebly, director of the CUB, aided the Student Gov­ ernment Association with plans for the reception. A group of women students assisted with serving the ^refreshments. In the receiving line were Dr. and Mrs. McConnell and Mr. and Mrs. Don Knowles. Members of the SGA acted as hosts. Other hosts were members of the college faculty who have served for 25 years or more. Also serving as hosts were Henry J. Whitney and Mr. and Mrs. William T. Stephens. Mr. Whitney and Mr. Stephens are emeritus profes­ sors. Women Pour At Tea Pouring during the reception hours were Mrs. Ernest Muzzell, Mrs. J. Wesley Crum, Miss Aman­ da Hebeler, Miss Mary Simpson, Mrs. Victor J. Bouillon, Mrs. An­ nette Hitchcock, Miss Margaret Mount, Mrs. Harold E. Barto, Miss Dorothy Dean, Mrs. Leo Nicholson, Miss Mabel Anderson, Mrs. Maur­ ice Pettit, Mrs. Perry Mitchell, Mrs. Wayne Hertz, Dr. Catharine Bullard, and Mrs. Lyman Part­ ridge. Dr. Edmund L. Lind, chairman of the Science and Mathematics Division at Central, participated as a member of the Evaluation Com­ mittee of the Northwest Associa­ tion of Secondary and Higher Schools last week. Eastern Montana College of Ed­ ucation at Billings and Western Montana College of Education at Dillon had their programs evaluat­ ed by the association. Dr. Lind's assignment included the evaluation of all physical science courses. A committee of the National Council for Accreditation of Teach­ er Education also met at the in­ stitutions to check on the teacher education programs of these col­ leges, Dr. Lind said. Committee reports aren't made public but are submitted directly to the administrative department of the colleges concerned who in turn release any information on the reports, Dr. Lind commented. The Northwest Association is currently involved in a program of visiting all colleges in its area during the next five years. Cen­ tral Washington College is to be evaluated in February, I960, he said. • STAR SHOE SHOP * Fred Stockhill, Proprietor 428 No. Pine Street Ellensburg, Washington borsey's Band Nets Profit, Signs Off '59 Homecoming As the Jimmy Dorsey band sounded the closing strains of "Muskrat Ramble" at the Queen's Dance, Saturday night, Oct. 17, Central's 1959 Homecoming was drawn to a close. Homecoming activities began Friday evening with the variety show, introducing this year a general scene ds the backdrop for the ^entire production. Mickey Ham­ lin and Marcia Hodges were co- chairmen. Following the variety show a serpentine was held in downtown Ellensburg and a fire­ works display followed at Tom- linson Field. A record number of floats and bands in Saturday's parade and a record number of entries in the sign competition provided a build­ ing spirit which was climaxed with Central's 18-12 victory over the Savages from Eastern Saturday afternoon. Highlights during the halftime activities included an introduction of Queen Midge Thompson and princesses Diane Clasen and Lynda Livesley, a public salute to Cen­ tral's resigning president, Dr. Rob­ ert McConnell and a parachute jump executed by Bill Moody. Tea, Reception Held The Queen's Reception and Alumni Tea following the game were well-received, according to Sylvia Day, chairman. Because of inadequate facilities for a smor­ gasbord, a banquet was served in Commons and in Sue Lombard din­ ing hall. Music was provided by the Blue Jays. Rounding out the '59 edition of Homecoming was the Queen's dance held in the Armory Satur­ day night. Dance Profits Mick Barrus, general chairman for the two-day event, expressed satisfaction with the Homecoming activities and reported that the SGA made approximately $400.00 profit. "The Dorsey band was well-re­ ceived while the serpentine and noise rallies seemed to be the key to the fine spirit developed within the two days," Barrus said. Winners in the sign competition were Wilson Hall, first Spurs, sec­ ond North Hall, third. A total of two points separated the three winners. In the float competition, Elwood Manor took first Kappa Pi second and North Hall third. -§ Sue Lombard Sets Masquerade Ball Halloween, Oct. 31, will be the occasion for the "Masquerade Ball" to be held in the Men's gym from 9 p.m. to midnight, Marj Hanson, chairman far the dance, said today.

When cashing checks In the book store, current SGA tickets must be presented, she - said. Also, checks will not be cashed which will give more than $10 change.

fitge Four THE CAMPUS CRIER FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1959 President's Past On Farm, In College, Shows Ambition BY WELDON JOHNSON •' The "college that McConnell •built" is melancholy today—Dr. McConnell is leaving. •' For over a decade the terms, scholar, teacher, author and ad­ ministrator have been linked with the name. Dr. Robert E. iVlcCon- •riell. Although born into a modest 'Canadian farming family, through sacrifices and much work, Dr. Mc- 'Connel] has risen to the top in the field of education. ~ Dr. McConnell was born in Mea- ford,.Ont.. Canada. When he was four years of age, his father was •advised to take the family to Mon­ tana, where the climate would re­ lieve Father McConnell's sinus con­ dition. Living in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Dr. McConnell walked many miles each day to attend a small log cabin school- house. Upon reaching the age of 12, young Robert was entrusted with the McConnell farm and the chores for several weeks while the 'family vacationed. After Dr. McConnell had gradu­ ated from high school his parents who were ambitious for him, sent 4iim to Montana Wesleyan College. At Wesleyan Dr. McConnell stud­ ied agriculture and played basket­ ball. only to withdraw a year later to volunteer for the United States •Army in -World War I. Chosen For Officer •• Six weeks later Dr. McConnell was selected as a candidate for the Officers' Training School, but before long the war ended and Dr. McConnell returned to his studies, this time at Montana State College. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree at Montana State. In 1927 Dr. McConnell went to Brookings, South Dakota to teach. During his one-year stay in Brook­ ings, the college, at which he taught polled the student body in a popularity vote. The following is an excerpt from that college's newspaper: "R. E. McConnell, assistant pro­ fessor of education, got the solid feminine backing as the faculty sheik. Mr. McConnell is another of the dark haired type. How­ ever, we shouldn't take advantage of him. one young lady complain­ ed, he can't help that he's good looking. And now if someone will inform Mr. McConnell concerning this young lady's sentiments, the student body would have hopes of squeezing another E out of the faculty," A FUTURE PRESIDENT Dr. McConnell did graduate work as long as the money lasted. When he ran out, he would teach a year and then return to college. All the education attained by Dr. McConnell was paid for by schol­ arships, fellowships or by his own money. He received scholarships to the University of Wisconsin and Harvard he received a fellowship to the Univeristy of Iowa. President Meets Wife In 1928 Dr. McConnell went to Marshall College in West Virginia to teach. A senior at Marshall was Alma Eastwood, now Mrs. Robert McConnell. The courtship of Dr. McConnell and Alma Eastwood at- Marshall College proved almost fatal for Miss Eastwood. Eligible women members of the faculty resented the fact that Professor McConnell was interested in Miss Eastwood and Miss Eastwood came close to losing a credit in Physical Edu­ cation. A year later Dr. McCon­ nell and Miss Alma Eastwood were married. In 1929 Dr. McConnell accepted the post of head of the depart­ ment of Education at Eastern Washington College. Three years later, when notified of his appoint­ ment as president of the Washing­ ton State Normal School in Ellens- burg. Washington, Mrs. McConnell : asked a group of friends at East- cm about the Normal School in Ellensburg. The reply was that i Ihe school in Ellensburg wasn't much but their basketball team i "sure is good." i Dr. McConnell came to Ellens- | burg in 1931 when Washington State Normal School was a non- degree-granting school. He direct­ ed the school out of the depths of depression and in 1933 El­ lensburg Normal was given au­ thority to grant a four-year-degree in education. In 1937 the school became Central Washington Col­ lege of Education and in 1947, Cen­ tral was given power to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree in Arts and Sciences and Master of Sci­ ence degree in Education. Offered Senate Seat In 1943 friends of Dr. McCon­ nell urged him to exchange his academic cap and gown for a sen­ atorial toga. He was asked to ac­ cept the role of an eastern Wash­ ington senatorial candidate. "I am very appreciative of the confidence my friends have shown me in suggesting that I consider running for a seat in the United States senate. However, I believe that I should not do so because I think that I can render my best service to the state of Washington by continuing in my present posi­ tion in the college.

The college is renderihg an important service now and after the vvar we shall have even greater opportunities for service," Dr. McConnell re­ plied. Dr. McConnell has long b^en known for his keen interest in the activities of Central. In 1947 Royal Brougham, sports editor for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in his daily "Morning After" column said, : . Some college presidents have no interest in athletics, but not President Robert E. McCon­ nell of Central Washington College of Education, who was a most in­ terested observer at the .recent coaching clinic here ..." Crowns Miss Washington The year 1948 marked the first selection and coronation of Miss Washington State. Central's Dr. McConnell crowned the first Miss Washington, Lorraine Lowder of Aberdeen, Washington. At this time Dr. McConnell was increasing in popularity throughout the state and nation. His under­ standing and patient ways combin­ ed with his great ambition for the college were recognized by many. Dr. McConnell was elected presi­ dent of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education in 1952. In 1949, following a luncheon at which he sat next to a columnist from the Spokesman Review, a por­ tion of the following day's colurtjn was -devoted to Dr." McConnell. The following is an excerpt from that column. "At a luncheon the other day at the president's house, I sat next to the president of Central Wash­ ington College of Education, Dr. Robert E. McConnell, and discov­ ered why he is such a popular college head." "He was telling me about the fight on his college's campus to keep skirts short. The men stu: dents had organized a club with provisoes that no man will take a girl on a date if she wears a long skirt.

P&ge Six THE CAMPUS CRIER FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1959 Wildcats Face Ramblers t •: Mick's SPORT DIGEST By MICK BARRUS Cool, Cool, Water! Add a tight football game, with the home team down six points, and the big game of the year, Homecoming, plus an excited coach who loves water, and you naturally think of Cen­ tral's head football coach, Abe Poffenroth. In the sequencial phonos above, taken by Crier photographer, Bob Swoboda, Coach Poffenroth can be seen approaching the water can Quite expecting to get himself a cool drink of water. Reaching the Can, Abe reaches down to press the water valve which releases the water forced to the surface by a pressure mechanism. Leaning over, be finally gets a mouthful of water, and maybe a little strategy for the next play. In the final photograph, Poffenroth walks away quite pleased with his drink of water as he grips his hands with approval. Coach Poffenroth attended college at Eastern Washington College of Education in Cheney, where he was an outstanding football player for four seasons. He later coached the Eastern eleven and his team won or shared four conference championships in the four years he was coach. In 1952, Abe accepted a position as dean of men at Eastern. In 1955, the lure of the gridiron couldn't keep Poffenroth from accepting the position at Central where he has won a conference i&SUttpionship in 1957 and shared another with Western in 1958. And In IS59, he has his team right at the top fighting for another title in the Evergreen Conference. If it's the water that does it Abe, you just keep on drinking it. With the fun and glory of Homecoming over with for another year, it's hard to believe that nothing could have gone better for any Ilomecoming than the climax the game had to offer last week. To come from behind in any football game is exciting enough, but to win a Homecoming tilt in the last 55 seconds against a traditional foe is the slimax to eny sports event. Along with Central's victory, the Wildcats pounded their way into a three-way deadlock for the Evergreen Conference title as pre­ viously" unbeaten Whitworth, lost to an inspired College of Puget Sound 'eleven 6-0. Western Washington College met Humboldt State in a non-conference contest which left them at the bottom of the scrambled conference. Sharing the conference lead with the 'Cats are, College of Puget Sound and Whitworth. The rest of the season should be quite inter­ est] ng as to the eventual conference holder. PLC Squad Tries Luck Against 'Cats After taking a week off from conference competition, the CWC Wildcats get back into the groove of flipping a coin to decide the Evergreen Conference holder when the PLC Gladiators host the locals in Tacoma next Saturday. Pres­ ently Central is tied with College of Puget Sound and Whitworth. Young Team Pacific Lutheran College fields One of the youngest teams in the conference as there are only seven seniors on the roster. Rounding out the PLC group are ten jun­ iors, fourteen sophomores, and seventeen freshmen. Picking a winner in the contest would be almost impossible with the topsy-turvy race for the title that has thus far been in evidence. Both favorites, CPS and Whitworth have been defeated, and it's still early in the season. At this stage of the game, almost any squad would be likely to come up with a win. PLC Quarterback PLC will ride its hopes on all- cpnfei'ence quarterback John Ja- cobson. The Lute ball handler is a steady, reliable player, who gives stability to the ball club. He has probably seen more action than any other player on the team being a three year letterman. Central will have to win this contest in order to stay in the thick of the title race. With a strengthened pass defense and an offense that has showed strong possibilities with more practice, the Wildcats will be tough from here on out and should prove , to be too much for the., Lutes, v Campus Pigeons Offer Comments .. The campus pigeons had not been interviewed this quarter so I asked for the assignment and toiled up to the fourth floor of the administration building and opened a window. The first pigeons to appear were quite flustered. "We've decided to be known as doves," they said. "We are of the dove family, and doves enjoy a somewhat better reputa­ tion than pigeons. You know, the dove of peace, dove soap. Dove does everything," they tit' tered. The wind ruffled iny hair and their feathers as we chatted pleasantly for several minutes. "We never attend classes ex­ cept during the summer," they continued. "It's the only time we can get in and also get out." "What's this dove kick," I asked. "Haven't you heard about- the leopards?" "No," my leathered friends replied, "but we know all about the 'Cats." Bob Roycroft, North Carolina State football guard, grows plants for a hobby. Bowling Plans Set As Rollers Begin Season Men! Get your bowling shoes and ball all shined up 'cause it's time for the Men's Tuesday and Thursday league again. Here is your chance to get into one of the most popular participant sports today. Chairman of the Men's League, Bob Kuvara, stated today that 20- 12-inch trophies would be given out to league stars and what-have- you. The champions of each divi­ sion will receive a beautiful twen­ ty-four inch trophy for their ef­ forts. Kuvara said he expected about 200 men to participate this year and that it would be advan­ tageous to join as each member is able to bowl at Bill's Bowl for thirty cents a game. The regular price of a game is forty-five cents. Kennedy Defenders The defending champs of the league will not be back this year as Kennedy Hall had to be va­ cated for use by the women, how­ ever, Wilson, runner-up to Kennedy last year, will be very much in competition. Most of the dorms now have teams with even a few off-campus groups entering squads. League play is scheduled to begin some time in the nekt week, Ku­ vara said. About the middle of the winter quarter a six man team will be picked to represent Central Wash­ ington in competition with other college teams in the Northwest. This will include such teams as the University of Washington, Washington State University, Ore­ gon State, and the University of Oregon. Later in the school year comes the Northwest Bowling Tournament at Eugene, Oregon. This event will determine the top bowling team in the Northwest. National Tourney Last on the agenda will be an all expenses paid trip to the na­ tional championships in St. Louis. Teams from all over the North- "west will be vying for the right, to send their best man to the meet. Only two are chosen from the many schools. This year's league will be spon­ sored only by the members of the league. It is not an MIA activity as the MIA felt that at this time they could not afford to outfit and run a bowling league. You beginners be sure to sign up now even if you do not know how to bowl very well. Bowling affords strong personal competi­ tion for all. Beginning bowlers are allowed to bowl with a handi­ cap. "It's lots of fun," reports I Kuvara, and he should know. Fall Quarter Sees Varied WRA Plans Central's Women's Recreation Association has sent out an invita­ tion for all women students who are interested in the WRA pro: gram to attend the fall program schedule period to be held Mon­ day, October 26 from 4 to 5:30 in the new gymnasium room 200. This includes all women and is not re­ stricted to the physical education majors and minors. This meeting is designed to give the attendants the choice of either swimming or volleyball for the fall participation. Immediately following the meeting there will be blanks sent around for the rep­ resentatives of the girls dorms and off-campus living groups to sign for competition. Included in the WRA program are basketball, bowling, badmin­ ton, Softball, trampoline, volleyball and swimming. Trophies are giv­ en to the dorm winners of the vari­ ous sports events. A point system has also been set up for individual awards. Seattle Team Hosts Locals Under Lights After enjoying a successful Homecoming outing against the Eastern Washington College aggre­ gation, the Wildcats from Central will go outside the Evergreen Con­ ference this week to tangle with the semi-professional Seattle Ram­ blers. The football game will be a night contest scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday. Being tied with CPS and Whit­ worth, the 'Cats will have a chance to take a week'off from conference competition and watch their rivals in action. Coach Abe Poffenroth has the Wildcats working on pass defense again this week in preparation for the Ramblers. Offensive passing has proven to be the deciding fac­ tor in Central's losses this year, and almost proved to be the down­ fall last weekend before staging a 18-12 victory. Seattle's hopes ride with players who have had plenty of football knowledge. The Ramblers are a semi-pro team composed of former college, high school and other foot­ ball greats in and around the Pa­ cific Northwest. Besides playing other semi-professional teams, the Seattle eleven has played Ever­ green Conference squads in the past years. This is Central's first such game with the Ramblers. Coach Poffenroth had excellent team work last week from his squad, and the pass defense was somewhat improved over previous contests. Dale Skalisky was es­ pecially valuable and will help con* verge upon the Seattle aggregation with able assistance from Jim Black, Van Slaughter, Rubin Raw- ley, Dick Howe, Larry Worrell, Harvey Rath, Joe Mackey and Theron Ticknor.

That was the score of the exciting Home­ coming game between the Central Washington College Wildcats and the Eastern Washington College Savages. It was a big win for the 'Cats who now hold a first place tie in the Evergreen Conference by virtue of Whitworth's loss to CPS. Central drew first blood after a^ ~ 7 7~T r— was able to put together a sus- scoreless first quarter. The op­ portunity came after an Eastern punter muffed his kick on the 17 yard line. The ball rolled back to the 12 where it was recovered by Central. Four plays later Dale Skalisky, 'Cat halfback, took a hand off from quarterback Jim Black and drove 3 yards to pay- dirt. Later in the quarter Eastern tained drive starting on their own 14. Seventeen plays later Stan Jones gathered in a 20 yard pass from Jack England for the TD. Tom Meier, Savage halfback, ac­ counted for 46 yards of the 86 in the drive. After the intermission the Sav­ ages showed a sudden burst of fury. With 11 minutes left in the third quarter Eastern started their final touchdown march on their 45 yard line after a fine punt re­ turn by Mike McCaulay. The stage was now set for the deciding play of the game. Central defensive halfback George O'Day leaped high into the air and grab­ bed an England pass. O'Day then proceeded to gallop, untouched, 50" yards to the end zone. Worrell's, extra point attempt was again blocked and the score stood 12-12.

Being quite active ih athletics for women, the Ha­ waiian queen plays basketball and volleyball very skillfully. The pro­ motion of girls participating in one kind of sport or another is one thing the coed would like to see done. Being Homecoming Queen has been the biggest thrill in Midge Thompson's life, |'"Our homecoming football game expressed so wonderfully the on- Inusiasm of everyone here at Cen- tral. The victory of the game was great in itself, but even greater was the turnout and the enthusi­ asm of/ everyone in the stands as we yelled ourselves hoarse," said the queen. "The serpentine dance, the fireworks celebration, and the noise rallies all illustrated that we do have a lot on, the ball and just enjoyed every minute of it. As a former cheerleader at the University of Hawaii, I especially appreciated the wonderful spirit here and don't for one minute re­ gret my move to Central.

Student Increase Brings New Use Of Constructions BY REED COOPER As Central increases in size and enrollment, new buildings will naturally be needed. These buildings will have to serve many different uses because of the increased variety of interests of the students.

' A small building adjacent to the CUB for storing coffee grounds and cigarette butts. A library for illiterates.

He said that the family traveled by train when they could but still had to walk much of the way. The journey was made in the winter so he and his brother were able to ride part of the way on a small sled pulled by their father. After a short ride they had to walk in order to keep from freezing. The family settled near Rigens- burg, Germany and there a young­ er brother was born. Family Moves to America Plakinger attended the first six years of school in Rigensburg. At the end of the sixth grade the family came to America. They lived for a ^ few months in Seattle and then moved to Raymond, Wash., where they now live. He says that he had a few prob­ lems with the English language when he first started school in America. In Germany he went to school for only four hours a day. When the noon bell rang on his first day of school in Seattle he put his coat on and was out the door before a friend stopped him and convinced him he was sup­ posed to stay for the afternoon classes. Asked about some of the differ­ ences he had noticed between American and German dating cus­ toms, Plakinger said one of the things that had surprised him most when he first came to this country was to see seventh graders holding hands. He enjoys playing table tennis, basketball and soccer even though he doesn't have much opportunity to enjoy that sport here. DR. McCONNELL (Continued from Page 4) men students appeared one morn­ ing with their trousers rolled to their knees. That meant a dec­ laration of war." "Later in the class of a profes­ sor the club members sat there, more mindful of their bare legs than their lessons, and through a mute appeal, added another mem­ ber to their club. Each man stu­ dent glued his eyes upon the trou- ser legs of their professor until he finally gave up.the ghost .leav­ ing knowledge lying flat on its back, and rolling up his trousers." Rolls Up Pants Legs "And now I get down _ to the president himself. He said that he happened to be walking across the campus this morning and saw a group of men students, trousers rolled up, bearing down on him. He stopped. They stopped. With­ out a. word they pointed to his trousers. .'Do I have to?' Presi­ dent McConnell asked helplessly. 'You have to'. Dutifully, he stoop­ ed over and rolled up his trousers, automatically becoming a mem­ ber of the club.' ' ' ' "Then he noticed that a boy in the group was pointing a camera at him. 'Do I have to,' the presi­ dent pleaded. 'You have to,' was the reply." So you see what makes him a popular president." During his 28-year stay at Cen­ tral, Dr. McConnell has backed the college in its activities and has directed its growth to the present- day status of its expanding build­ ing program. The total enrollment of Central was once 275 students 8 men and 267 women. Today there are 2,040 students at Cen­ tral. 28 Years Highlighted Undoubtedly, there have been many highlights during Dr. Mc- Connell's 28 years at Central: the college's attainment of authority to grant degrees the election of Dr. McConnell to the presidency of the American Colleges for Teacher Education Association and the attainment of funds for Central's auditorium, to name just a few. Most of all, Dr. McConnell will be remembered for his ability as an administrator, his • under­ standing and patient nature and his ambition for Central Washington College of Education.
