WESCOLITE Number 1 Published by the JOURNALISM CLUB WESTERN MONTANA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Dillon, Montana Wednesday, October 11, 1950 Subscription Rates — $1.00 a Year STAFF EDITOR FLORENCE GRAY BUSINESS MANAGERS - - - SHIRLEY CHAFFIN ED MONGER Reporters— Kermit Cole Betty Austreng Mardell Lane Claude Ankeny Chanticleer President: Lois Ellwood Marv Eccleston Beverly Petersen „ Faculty Advisor: Jack Carriger Genevieve Albertson Beverly Grant A GREETING TO ALL NEW STUDENTS EW students should, by this date, realize how very welcome they are here at WMCE. The upperclassmen have, by both word and deed, said in true Western style, “Glad to see you, glad you decided to come to Western, glad you are now one of us, and we hope you will be happy and contented here.” WMCE is sincere in its welcome to newcomers whether they are from our own state or from overseas. Here everyone is wanted and here everyone is welcomed, heartily. The reason is that everyone is needed here. WMCE, being small, is in want of talent, be it athletic, musical, or what have you. We need those who can and will take part in the various phases of college life. We want to make use of what you have to offer. We want no available talent to lie fallow. We want you to give us your best. We open every avenue to you, to encourage you to take an active part in things. Student activity is, however a double-edged tool. Activity needs you, but you need i t ; even more. Many new students come here who have never before been away from home. This may actually be your first opportunity to look the world in the eye, and this is a splendid place for that operation. By becoming involved in some activity you insure for yourself the privilege of meeting and working with many fine persons. Through association with other students and with the faculty advisors you may perhaps unearth hidden talents that you did not know you had. The opportunity is here all right; you have only to take advantage of it to better yourself immeasurably as compared with those stu dents who take part in nothing except classroom work. E$es & Ears o f Western Elwood In the first assembly, the old and new, and the average intelligent faces were heartily welcomed. The speaker of the day said he visited twenty-eight girls this sum- j mer, but that he didn’t remember their names or faces. (We wonder i if his wife does.) He then contin- I ued, “I will welcome you with open ! arms into my private office. Who knows, I may have the pleasure of presenting you with $50.00?” He also put special emphasis upon vis itation to the library, which is ade quately stacked. (Or was .he refer ring to the librarian?) Freshmen! We want you to feel very much at home, but not too much so. Be free. Enjoy yourself, but not too much. Don’t neglect your studies. Be sure and partici pate in extra-curricular activities. Don’t stay up late. Your social life is important. Don’t skip assemblies! Sit where you please, but not over there. Be certain to attend the foot- i ball games and support the team, but we have no bleachers. We learned at assembly that if you cut classes, the ax will fall. Each teacher has a personality and swings the ax according to his dis cretion. He can cut your grades, your credits; he can cut you out of school. You may sometimes avoid the ax if you have nine kids and a wife who leaves you to do the baby sitting. The wan, haggard, half starved students shook with fear as the President mentioned raising the board and room. A new name was given to the d o r - 1 mitory on a student’s registration card. The Resistance Hall. Resist what? Cast your bread of endeavor upon the waters of Student Activity. Join and work with one or more Campus Groups. It will come back to you in many ways, in personal satisfaction with a job well done, in associations that may have a lifetime aspect, and most of all, in the poise and self-confidence that will be yours as a result of achievement. So we say to you, “Get into the activity of your choice. Your abilities, your talents, your energies are needed here. We want you to be one of us in the larger sense. Join us, we welcome you, and we have rewards for you.” 1950-1951 will be another splendid year at WMCE if each newcomer will know and believe that here is a fertile field for his talent, and that here is opportunity.

WMCE STUDENTS, FACULTY JOIN CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM (Continued from page 1) cratic way of life, Mr. Jordan em phasized. “What men believe to be true has been as im portant as the truth it self in determining human events. . . . The Crusade for Freedom of fers every American an opportunity to play a part in a “great campaign of truth” to win the war of ideas,” says Lucius D. Clay, national chair man of the Crusade for Freedom. According to information given on official bulletins, the funds raised in this drive will aid in the con tinuation of broadcasts by Radio Free Europe which carries the voices of leaders in fields of science, gov ernment and social and religious en deavor back behind the “iron cur tain” to the people of their home lands. Students appointed by Student Council President Sweeney to serve as monitors during the drive held in the foyer of the Administration building were Hugh Simmons, chair man, Keith Hamilton, Jean Lay, Pat Davis, Bruce Domer, Marilyn Boett- A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL It was a black and gloomy night, with a fine snow, falling like feath ers at the end of a whirlwind. With fiendish looks in their eyes and hor rid smiles on their chalk white faces the huge upperclassmen took us poor, innocent, little freshmen for a jaunt around the school. Jaunt? It was exercise in its most developed form. Panting, and with tongues hang ing out, we were herded into the gym to bow to and entertain the monarchs of the school. After freezing our be-stockinged feet and wearing the skin off our knees from bowing and scraping, we were told that we, the unspeak able freaks of nature, really be longed to the student body. Some fun ! ! cher, Valdean Osteros, Mildred Ca.l- son, Ramona Goss, Mary Jo Walkup and Dale Kosumoto. They took them turns at the table where students and faculty signed their name to the Freedom scroll and made their contribution. Metal tabs bearing the Freedom Bell in signia were distributed to the sign ers. 1 Student Wives Meet Oct. 4 The Student Wives met at the home of Mrs. John McGee, Wednes day, October 4. Mrs. Jack Dunne was co-hostess. The meeting was fol lowed by a hobo party and an en tertaining scavenger hunt.
