Much of the credit for staging a very successful program of enter tainment and for building enthusiasm for the next day's game wherein WSC was scheduled to face the mighty Southern California Trojans should be handed to Fred Morgan , '35, president of the Los Angeles Alumni club and Bob Palen, '37, sec retary. While the Cougars, next day , suf fered a bruising loss at the hands of the Men 0' Troy nevertheless the grads who attended the meeting at the Huntington enjoyed the motion pictures covering the 19-6 defeat of Gonzaga by Washington State at Pullman two weeks previous. The films were rushed through the de veloping laboratory to make it pos sible for J. Fred (Doc) Bohler, direc tor of physical education and ath letics, to project them at the alumni session. • • A group of alumni, graduates during the last three or four years, have organized a WSC luncheon club in Spokane and according to all reports are enjoying some successful although informal meetings. At a recent affair more than 't wenty ex-Cougars were on hand. The club, which might be termed accidental to the flourishing Spokane county alumni association, convenes at the Spokane Hotel each VIednesday starting at noon. Ralph Husom, '37, and Bob Austin, '37, were the co-organizers. College. That's why there was a splen did turnout of alumni at the Durant Hotel in Berkeley for a meeting of the Northern California club which was held in conjunction with the Cou gar football game staged with the Golden Bears in Memorial Stadium. The alums and former students, after they had greeted and sent the team back following the game, con vened in the hotel dining room and watched new color movies of the cam pus shown hy the alumni secretary. Credit for an entertaining evening should be given Henry E. Tweed, '16, • As a feature of a meeting prior to the UCLA contest new color pict ures showing actIvIties and the academic side of student life at the State College will be shown. The film, more than 3000 feet of it , was screened at the New York World's Fair on Washington State Day, Au gust 5th. Anyone who has seen the new picture has been singing the praises of the productions staff which made the dreams of such a cinema a reality. A few more sequences are to be added, according to Graduate Manager Earl V. Foster, '23, before it will be complete. ~ Bay Area Alumni :M eet in Berkeley • FOR most of them it had been a long time since they changed classes on a brisk run at the " College on the Hill" and it was a thrill to again see the campus scenes so familiar to any one ever enrolled at Washington State POWWOW, November, 1939 What the Clubs are Do ing and Alumni Comment secretary of the group. An enthus iastic alumni worker, Graduate Tweed it should be stated has a card file containing the names and address es of more than 1000 former Staters who are living in San Francisco and East Bay cities. During the business session , held following the pictures, Secretary Tweed announced elaborate plans for the annual Northern California WSC Alumni club picnic at March Creek sometime in May are in the offing and that enthusiasm on the part of those who have attended be fore guarantees the largest crowd ever assembled for the annual get-to gether. ~ Dinner-Dance on Alumni Schedule • When Stanford University plays host to the WSC football team at Palo Alto on November 18th it will mark also the third alumni meeting in Cali fornia this fall. A fourth session will be held at Los Angeles coincidental to the UCLA-Cougar clash on Nov ember 30th. Henry E. Tweed, '16, secretary of the Northern California alumni club, has announced there will be a dinner dance at the Cardinal Hotel. In ad dition, because films of the campus have been very popular in all alumni quarters, arrangements have been made to bring the reels to the Palo Alto meeting and probably will be shown by J. Fred Bohler, director of physical education and athletics. ~ Sea ttle; Portland Clubs to Gather ROD BANKSON, '37 . . . look out journalists Rod Bankson, son of a noted novelist, ap peared on the campus during Home coming festivities, then took his place in the Rog ers Field press box where he wrote the "color" story for the Spokesman-Re view.

Bankson 's features are becoming more popular every day and there are those who predict a brilliant journalistic future for the former Evergreen editor. • PLANS are in the process of de velopment for alumni club meetings in Seattle in conjunction with the · WSC Frosh-Washington Frosh game and at Portland prior to the Oregon game on November 4th. With interest mounting in what to expect from t,he Cougar frosh, it is felt a large number of enthusiasts will be on hand both at the meeting and at the game November II in the Uni versity of Washington Stadium , the same afternoon the Staters entertain Idaho in Pullman, highlight of the annual Dad's Day celebration. 3 Alumnus of the Month DR. FRANK H. DOUGLASS, '19 . . . October 14 was a happy day • THE 26th Homecoming and WSC's victory over their perennial foes, the University of Washington, was exactly what the doctor ordered. Take it from Dr. Frank H. Doug· lass, '19 phar., the prescription was filled with the greatest of precision and with one-hundred per cent per fection. And Doctor Frank should know. He often is credited, and in many quarters too, with being the Cougars' No.1 supporter. The editors have nominated him the "Outstanding Alumnus of the Month." Alumnus Douglass is well known for his pediatrics work in Seattle. His suite of offices in the Medical-Dental building are populated with scores of little folk "down to see the doctor" and Alumnus Douglass has posted a splendid record of achievement be cause he has the welfare of his tiny clients at heart. His problems evolve around anything concerning the diet and health of tomorrow's citizens and he goes about his business shouldering a personal regard for the future of every young man or woman who pass es through his office portals. In 1919 he was Rooter King Frank Douglass, a member of Kappa Psi, honorary medical-pharmaceutical fra ternity; Kappa Sigma and Crimson Circle. While he was in the midst of cheer-leading during a Bryan Hall pep raJIy, so the story goes, a group of 4 university vIsItors carried away the stu ffed Cougar mascot. I n 1932, thQugh , Doctor Frank carrying at the time all of the professional dignity of a doctor of medicine, cringed while the Washington inter-C 0 II e g i ate Knights flaunted the stolen Cougar in the faces of WSC rooters watching the state championship clash in Seat tle. Of a sudden there was a general exodus from the stands by the WSC students who swarmed onto the field in an effort to retrieve their long lost luck piece. The doctor was with them in one leap and into the thick of the halftime battle. 'Tis said he lost important articles of wearing ap parel including coat, vest and pants, but when the skirmish was over there were only fragments of the original mascot and the WSC fans had most of those- Frank included. So he had redeemed himself for being a party to letting Washington scurry away with the Cougar of '19. After the Homecoming Game on October 14th Frank gleefully shook hands with virtually every Cougar rooter and admitted it was his hap piest day. Now he could go back to his native haunts and square matters with those Husky admirers, ·his friends, who had been " heckling" him- shall we say-since 1933, last time a WSC triumph on the grid was PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 10 Homer Gregory, '14 \\l rites A New Book • An American industry valued at $75,000,000 and giving employment to 50,000 persons is seriously involv ed in the question whether Japan has fishing rights in Bristol Bay, ac cording to a study, " North Pacific Fisheries," recently completed by Dr. Homer E. Gregory, ' 14econ, and an associate, Kathleen Barnes. Published by the American Coun cil, Institute of Pacific Relations, the report makes a detailed study of the fishing and salmon canning indus tries in the Pacific Northwest. It an alyzes in detail the importance of fisheries in Alaska . The fishing in dustries dominate the trade of Alaska, accounting for 80 per cent of its ex ports. This in turn gives them a major importance in the maritime ac tivity of Seattle and Puget Sound. Dr. Gregory , co-author of the study, graduated from Washington State in 1914 and attended the graduate school of the University of Chicago from 1914 to 1918. In 1918-19 he was act ing head of the Department of Econ omics at Dakota Wesleyan Universi ty . Since 1919 Dr. Gregory has been teaching economics and accounting in the Department of Economics and Business at the University of Wash ington. While on leave of absence from the University , Dr. Gregory spent one year as Chief Securities Examiner of the State of Washington. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa , Beta Gamma Sigma, and Beta Alpha Pi. He was the author of a previous book , "Accounting Reports in Business Management," and has contributed numerous articles to scientific jour nals. The study of the economically important fishing industries was made under a grant by the Rocker feller Foundation. ~ • J. FRED BOHLER , head of the de partment of physical education and athletics, and the only honorary life member in the Washington State col lege alumni association , recently was named president of the Inland Em pire Amateur Athletic Union.

" Of course it is prett y hard ," Dr. Nunemaker said, "to tell whether opinions are colored by fear or not, but it seemed to me that the Spanish people believe that the only satisfac tory solution to their problem came as a result of the war. " Under the new totalitarian Spanish government the currency, press, and radio are controlled. There has been no great inflation, so the cost of liv ing is about the same as before the war. The press and radio , even though censored, do carry the straight news facts from other countries However, the editorial comment ac companying the news is biased and reflects the views 0 f the Franco gov ernment. A more serious ban than that on the press and radio- at least as far as Dr. Nunemaker was concerned was in effect in Madrid when he ar rived. By governmental decree there could be no books of any kind shipped • HE was the scouting party, the advance guard , the main army and the rear g uard too, of the recent State College book-buying expedition to war-torn Spain. The Spaniards took him for Span ish , so he mingled in crowds of the common people and discovered what they think of their totalitarian gov ernment headed by General Franco. But he did not forget that he was in Spain to buy books , and browsed through scores of dusty bookshops to dig out and purchase a total of more than 1900 books-many of them cen turies old. Who is he? He's Horace Nune maker, head of the Department of Foreign Languages, an amiable, slightly cautious but nevertheless en terprising gentleman. Last June 28th he sailed from New York on the French liner " Normandie" bound for Paris, from whence he traveled into Spain by train.

HORACE NUNEMAKER . . . hasty exit from Europe from Madrid. During their occupancy of Madrid the Communist-controlled Loyalist forces had looted many of the homes and libraries taking price less things, including books. The ban on shipments from Madrid was to enable the people of Madrid to check and claim stolen articles. Despite the ban on shipments, Dr. Nunemaker began searching the bookstores for volumes that would be valuable to the collection he was to make and began purchasing them. Suddenly restrictions on shipments from Madrid were lifted, and on the next day the first consignment of books for the Spanish collection of the State College of Washington left the capital city. Traveling all of Spain and search ing dozens of second-hand bookstores, Dr. Nunemaker completed his buying and arranged to have many volumes that were in bad condition rebound before having them shipped to the states. He arranged to sail home aboard the German ship "Bremen " on September 9th. He did not make the trip because the "Bremen " was called back to Germany by the Nazi high command . On September 16th he took passage on the Greek liner "Nea Hellas," from Lisbon, Portugal and arrived in New York on the 24th and in Pullman the 28th. Nearly 2000 volumes now must be catalogued and made available to li brary users. Not all of them will be on call at the library of course, be cause some of the books are too valuable or too badly worn to stand the wear of general circulation. 5 {a'" \e\t, a~sc )?b),\~\S \".t'n\{\e~. fto\t\t (\~bt, to . 5\St ",aiO{ctt~s. \\e,,~e te\e~{tJ asb\,,~tO'\ bU~e U Co\\e~e ",essa~e U{~eo '~ t\o,,\eco""~~ DU{\"~ cou~':,"" sta~eo \\~~~\'). <itcr! ~\.\)t'f\~\ ~ssoc. ii:~.I1~ ¥I ~,)11. \\'<CI'.~i I0" ~O\\ ') 9iJ..\\\\'\\CJ VI />.\\ft. \\0"",<(.0",,1\\G ~ I'.~~I'.\\ t>l COI\(j~\\ tbe et \ "'," r ' " se"t to at '" b U "t"C(s\t)' . 0\ b tbe '1J asb' tbe . asSoc\aUO" )'I'>\U"'''\ a;;;o ",3S \>ut 0" I'>\U"'''' State \"r"t?"

Twenty-six years now alumni have returned to Pullman joining heartily and readily into the program offered by whomsoever might be in charge. They came back again the weekend of October 13-14; saw brilliant de monstrations Friday night before the annual state championship football classic between their Cougars and the university. They came in great numbers from all over the state, from Idaho , Montana a'nd British Columbia. In some cases even from points quite foreign to the Northwest. They rep resented many graduating classes; like A. E. Olson, '00, eullman; Edwin R. Tiffin, '04, Enumclaw; C. J. Weller, '08, Coulee City, a former WSC baseballer and father of two daugh ters who have attended the " College on the Hill," Inez Arquist, '14, Pull man; Mrs. J. C. Beckman, '12, Ta ,6 coma; and J. C. Beckman, '13; A. E. Reichel, '16, Great Falls, Montana; H. G. Porak, '06, Olympia; H. E. Do elle, '12, Sheep Creek, B. C.; W. Earle Gibb, '15, Bellingham; Benton Bangs, '17, Chelan, and a host of others, old timers and those completing their undergraduate days in the last two decades. ASA V. Clark, '16, Colfax , was alumni chairman of Homecoming activities and handled the situation with ease. The fact, alone, that the Cougars were victors 6-0 in their 33rd meeting with Washington, was reason enough to send all alums back to their respective homes singing the praises of the annual celebration. The ball started rolling with Regis tration Friday afternoon. Fir s t alumnus to sign the roll book was Ray Sandegren, '32, Tacoma. That was early Friday. After that there was a continuous stream of grads moving through the line until Jam boree time on Saturday. The Alumni Jamboree was the third annual reunion of its type and was conducted as usual in the Men's Gym at noon. More than 200 ex Washington Staters turned out, had luncheon together, were entertained by campus talent and alumni and faculty speeches-short speeches but full of enthusiasm over the Cougars' chances on the Rogers Field gridiron. On Friday evening a dazzling dis- . play of pyrotechnics, a parade of f10a ts , yells, pep speeches thrilled 4,000 persons, graduates and under g raduates who filed into the new stadium to participate in the festiv Ities. The rally was carried on a coast-wide radio hookup. A happy ending to the 26th Home coming was concluded with a "sell out" dance in the Men's Gym. ~ • Magnet for attracting more than 18,000 persons to the cam pus for par ticipation in the 26th Homecoming. of course, was the football game which started fast and continued to be a bitter, hard-fought struggle throughout the entire four quarters. The inspired Cougars dug in their cleats in the first quarter and follow ing a spectacular aerial drive tallied six points before the game was twelve minutes old. After that it was play for keeps with Coach Orin Hollingbery resort ing to his old strategy of "kicking is POWWOW, November, 1939 ,I the best offense" which resulted in Washington's never having an op portunity to employ a real advance toward the Cougar goal line. True, the Cougars staved off several thrusts but the toe of Bill Sewell sent them scuttling back out of danger. Wash. State was keyed up to a razor edge for the Golden Jubilee classic. The team made no mistakes and took advantage of any miscues made by the Huskies. Their victory carried with it the Governor's Trophy, huge plaque emblematic of the state gridiron championship. Actually it was the first Cougar win over the Purple and Gold since 1933 but it was a sweet one indeed for the loyal fol lowers of the Crimson as they had been humiliated several times in the Washington stadium, once 40-0 and on a second occasion 26-0. Spectacular halftime stunts were staged by members of the associated students and during the interim Bud Ward, Spokane, the national amateur golf champion, was introduced to the crammed stands. Governor Martin and President Holland spoke briefly; a huge state flag was raised at the west end of the stadium and around the track moved a parade of beautiful floats vieing for first place and a substantial award . The floats were entered by group houses . To this pageantry add more than 200 musicians representing both host and guest school who filled the fall air with glorious melody. All of this entertainment clicked off splendidly and supplemented no little the en tire Homecoming program . • WINNERS of the float contest for men's and women's groups at the Golden Jubilee Homecoming rally parade were Alpha Gamma Delta in the women's division and Alpha Gam ma Rho in the men's division.

VOCATIONAL ROMANCE 6nqineerinq in tke Petrified r}'ore5t • ENGINEERING is a field crammed full of diversified interests and de mands of one who has followed a vocation in this particular profession an ability to cope with certain situa tions, changes in habitat, climate and living conditions. Yet, as it has been said on numerous occasions; " It's a great life!" Hear it from the very lips of WIL LARD BRADLEY, 'lOce. Alumnus Bradley is an assistant engineer with the National Park Service ; makes his home-when he is there- at Flag staff, Arizona. And in a recent com munication with M. K. Snyder, '07, head of the civil engineering depart ment. Bradley writes: "I'm still 'puttering' around with pipe lines here in the Petrified Forest (Petrified Forest National Monu ment) where we are putting in the longest pipe line in the National Park Service. There will be thirteen miles of it and we are installing a 50,000 gallon capacity concrete reservoir on the mesa above our headquarters here. Our distribution system will serve domestic and fire protection necessi ties. "Here in the Petrified Forest is the first time I have worked in the open desert country and find it very inter esting and full of beauty. It seems impossible this dry and desolate land 8 was once the semi-tropical dense for est in which great ' water-dog ' animals wandered in the rank, wet vegetation . There has been some change even in a short 165 or 200 million years. As you may know, though, this is on the edge of the Painted Desert. I cer tainly enjoy the wonderful color, sun sets, and, believe it or not, sunrises actually on the Painted Desert." Alumnus Bradley is the father of three children; the oldest, a son, was graduated in June from the Universi ty of Arizona having majored in anthropology.

Miss Anderson has had the distinc tion of developing the talents of some outstanding radio and theatrical per sonalities during her tenure at the State College- all this despite tre mendous physical handicaps. Some of the outstanding graduates of the department who will vouch no end for her genuine interest in every enrollee are Edward R.

POWWOW, November, 1939 Wings Over t:he Palouse Gfviation !1nauqurated • There will be "wings over the cam pus" at Washington State soon , but they will be the wings of peace, not of war. Under the Civil Aeronautics Au thority program, 30 students from the State College and a similar num ber from the University of Idaho will begin flight training , the second step in the C.A.A. program designed to make pilots of 20,000 students a year. The first step in the program- ground instruction in commercial air regula tions , history of aviation . theory of flight , meterology , airplane engines, and air navigation- was taken Octo ber 23 when the embryo aviators be gan a five-afternoon-a-week schedule of studies on those subjects. Flight training will be given at the new Pullman-Moscow regional air port located four and a half airline miles from the State College and University of Idaho campuses . Each institution will supervise the training of its student flyers. However, be cause of the great number of quali fied candidates here, Washington State authorities are asking for per mission to raise the W.S .c. quota to 40. Heading the C.A.A. program here is Professor H. H. Langdon, '19me, chairman of the faculty committee that includes Professor Harry Cole and Professor G. E. Thornton . In terviewed on the subject of the C.A .A. program, Professor Langdon was asked whether the flying training was being given as the groundwork for an extensive training of army pilots in ca~e the United States became em broiled in the European war . He was emphatic in his statement that the instruction of students in flying was a civil , not a military program of education. "The fact that women may enroll in the program- and we have two young women enrolled here - should be evidence enough that the objective is the training of civilian flyers. " Behind the creation of the C.A.A. program was the realization that the potentially giant commercial airplane industry would not begin its expan sion to the realm 0 f trul y " big" busi ness until there are great numbers of people able to pilot planes. The air plane and automobile industries bePOWWOW, November, 1939 gan development at almost the same time; yet the automobile- because it is comparatively easy for people to learn to drive- has outstripped the airplane industry to become with its affiliates, the largest American indus try. The airplane industry awaits the building up of a great reserve of peo ple who can fly . The Civil Aeronautics Authority program proposes to train flyers for this future. ~ Enrollment Reaches 4000th Mark • Fifty years of progress- and now , in the Golden Jubilee year, the State College of Washington enrollment passes the mark of 4000 students a semester. Returning to school late from a government forestry job in Wisconsin, Tom Helseth of Belling ham, a senior forestry major, became the first student in the history of the college to hold student body coupon book number 4,000. When the college- then known as the Washington Agricultural College - opened its doors in the spring of 1892, a total of 60 students, 44 of them taking " preparatory" or high school work , signed the enrollment register. With the years the college grew until in 1905, when Washington Agricul tural College died and the State Col lege of Washington was born . Dr. E. A. Bryan was president and chief policy-maker through the last part of the nineteenth century and the first years of the twentieth century. In 1916, when the school's enrollment had climbed to 1760, ill health forced Dr. Bryan to resign. Dr. E. O. Hol land was named president. Dr. HoI land remains as president, and during his regime the enrollment has climbed spectacularly. The year is 1939, forty-nine years after the building of a state college was authorized- the occasion, the en rollment of student number 4,000, a newall-time record for enrollment in one semester. COURAGE ESSENTIAL eapturinq }unqle 13ea5t5 lor • Love for the " Big Top" unquestion ably is the reason why DR.

C ., because carrying water for the ele phants when a lad developed to a point where he has come face to face with more than 3,000 animals of vir tually every species. Director Mann, as a youth living in Helena, Mont ., must have been " fit to be tied" when the circus came to town. He liked them then and he still has spine tingles when he sees the advertisements calling attention to the next appearance of Barnum & Bailey. But do not be mistaken. He did not run away with the circus as an adolescent. Instead he waited until this year while he was on a visit to Helena. Then he followed the saw dust trail to Spokane where the copy hunters pinned him down for a long interview. Dr. Mann has achieved great dis tinction throughout the country as a zoologist and has headed expeditions 1(. s. Z005 into the African veldt, India, Russia, South America and numerous other places where the mammoths abound. On one occasion Alumnus Mann was in charge of a safari into the depths of Africa- a big expedition financed by Walter P. Chrysler-and brought back to the States more than 1,700 wild animals and birds. On a trip to the Dutch East Indies he captured 890 specimens including 16 beautiful birds of paradise. Once four giraffes failed to evade Dr. Mann 's trap . Even this year, during an Argentinan ex pedition he sailed away with 250 ani mals. Interesting articles have been writ ten by Alumnus Mann in issues of the National Geographic (check copies for past two years) which have prov en to be fascinating and completely entertaining. Next time you are peering through the cage bars watching Leo the Lion angrily pace to and fro , and when you feel a touch of sorrow for the poor old beast confined in small quar ters , blame the situation on Dr. Wil liam M.

Both dad and mother attended Washington where father played four sports and exceedingly well. BURWELL Bantz, '09, Washington, was torn between two loves as he sat huddled in the Rogers Field stands watching the Cougar-Husky Home coming classic. On the one hand was his alma mater. Bantz was a great Washing ton tackle and undoubtedly wrecked havoc with the Crimson and Grey whenever the two schools met on the athletic field. On the other hand there were two of his sons wearing Cougar mole skins, fighting to the last ditch against the invaders- his , Burwell's school. Allen , an older son, retraced his dad 's footsteps to Washington and had been a member of the varsity squad. But it took a daughter to break the spell. Marguerite Bantz, '31, must have upset the household when she cast her lot with Pu11man and the Palouse. A sister Ruth fol lowed , completely turning over the traditional applecart. Ruth was grad uated in 1938. Then came Bi11, varsi ty tackle, now playing his last season. Bu t there's another one left, Rex, first string fu11back, only a junior. The Bantz brothers had a lot to do with Washington's defeat and was their dad happy? Without question, he certainly was! • CALIFORNIA'S Golden Bears won their first Pacific Coast Conference grid game at the expense of Washing ton State- losing their second- when costly Cougar miscues led to a 13-7 defeat in the Berkeley Memorial Stadium on October 21st. two pass plays failed to connect and the hair-raiser was concluded.

The first half was close with Troy leading 7-0 at the gun but after the rest per iod a continuous parade of fresh players, caused the Cougars to give way to the superior power. Director of Athletics J.
