Thesecond of two struggles resulted in an attempt to strip Smith ^ 'I never letgo of the flag, and never will;" Smith i Mmmm®S£ttS IW^ IKM By Aaron Managhan THE WESTERN FRONT Huxley College of Environmental Studies is changing its core courses in response to student feedback that stated the current core courses are too repetitive. Huxley is currently piloting a new core class, Problems in Environmental Studies. The class is an interdisciplinary course designed to give Huxley students a well-rounded grasp on both the science and social science aspects of environmen-. tal studies, Huxley College Dean Brad Smith said.: "One of the concerns we address is the repetition of material in our courses," Smith said. "A student's time here is all too short, and we cannot afford to have any of that time re-learning material they've already learned." Smith said the purpose of the. core requirements is to give environmetal studies students a "firm foundation with broad understandings." Kathy Johnson, Huxley's undergraduate adviser, said the new class cannot officially replace the core requirements until next year when it is listed in the schedule. Students currently in the pilot class will have the class count for one of the current core classes. But Johnson said once the new core class becomes official, students enrolled now will not have to take the current requirements. "Most students (in Huxley) have a background of environmental studies," Johnson said, "so that takes away the redundancy." After completing the new class, students on the science path will be required to take a social science class, and social science students will take a science class. Students will then continue on their major course and finish with a required Capstone course, which includes what is now the planning, assessment and management courses. Jack Hardy, chairman of the Department of Environmental Science and one of three teachers of the new class, said he thinks students will welcome the change.

Pathway lighting on campus potentially insufficient By Heather Olah THE WESTERN FRONT Poor lighting contributes to a sense of fear on Western's campus said one student. "Last time I was headed some place (through Fairhaven), the lights were all out," Western senior Megan Bledsoe said. "It's really scary." Between the fear of a lurking sexual predator and scary unknown night sounds, students may be apprehensive about going out after dark. Cori Ready, co-coordinator of the Women's Center, said she believes lighting is an important issue to the safety of Western's female students, creating higher-risk situations for sexual assault. Now that it is becoming darker earlier, the issue seems more pressing, she said. "We don't want women to be scared to walk around in society," Ready said. "It's easier to get away with something when no one's looking... I'd like to see a real commitment from the university." University Police provide a service to help make it safer for students to walk home. Greencoats can be called up to escort a student to and from campus locations between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 a.m. The Greencoats cannot go off campus, however. Ready said she would like to see Western have more commitment to preventing sexual assault crimes instead of just helping students cope with the aftermath. Improved lighting would be a big first step toward increased safety on campus, she said. Parents assume their children will be safe at college, Ready said. "If you're paying for them to live on campus, you're paying for them to be safe," she said. ; Western's Facilities Management provides service and maintenance on campus, including the provision and maintenance of outdoor lighting. No one from the Facilities Management department could be reached for comment.

No one was injured, and no shots were fired, police and school officials said. SWAT team officers, wearing helmets and carrying automatic rifles, did a classroom-by-classroom search to find the robber. By 12:50. p.m., the gunman had not been found. Everett police wound gunman Everett Police shot and wounded a 22-year-old man who confronted them with a shotgun late Saturday, a Police Department spokesperson said. The man was taken to Providence Everett Medical Center. He was in serious condition, a nursing supervisor said. Sgt. Boyd Bryant said shots were fired, and the man was hit in the upper body.

The man and a friend made a rope climb to the top of Guye Peak Saturday afternoon', but unroped when they reached the summit. The Fife man apparently slipped on moss-covered rocks and fell to his death at 2 p.m., according to the King County Sheriff's Office. About 40 rescue workers recovered his body Sunday afternoon. NATIONAL NEWS Anthrax letter reaches Congress A letter sent to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle tested positive for anthrax on Monday as the bioterrorism scare rattling the nation reached the Congress halls. The discovery of anthrax in Washington followed earlier instances in Florida, New York and Nevada in which at least 12 people were exposed to spores of the potentially deadly bacteria. The piece of mail in Daschle's office, which contained a powdery substance, was dispatched to an Army medical research facility at Fort Detrick, Md., for further examination, Capitol Police Lt. Dan Nichols said. Daschle was in the Capitol and was not exposed to the letter, which was opened in his other office, the Hart Senate Office Building, a block away. The Daschle letter — and similar scares in other congressional offices — prompted a halt to all mail deliveries in the Capitol and raised the level of fear. Pipe bomb dropped from stolen plane In Preston, Idaho a man stole a single-engine plane and flew it low enough to snap several power lines and dropped a homemade pipe bomb that did not explode, police said Monday. Raymond Montgomery was arrested when he landed across the Utah state line, said Lt. K.G. Fonnesbeck, of the Bannock County Sheriff's Department in Idaho. No one was injured. He was not immediately charged At times the plane flew only about, 10 feet above the ground, breaking power lines and causing at least three poles to fall, Fonnesbeck said. The pipe bomb landed on Interstate 15, which runs north from Utah into Idaho, Fonnesbeck said.

The department has made several substantial curriculum revisions that are coming into effect during this year. Psychology department Chairman Dr. Robert Thorndike said the two main purposes for initiating t he changes are getting smaller class sizes and strengthening students' foundation in the discipline. "The first was to provide a broader base of material across all of psychology," Thorndike said. "The second was to respond to very intense enrollment pressure in our upper-division classes. "All of our classes were filled to room limit, and the result was that our upper division students weren't getting enough opportunities to write or having as much direct faculty contact as we want them to have," Thorndike said. The changes will affect all students who are declaring psychology as a major fall quarter 2001 or later. The psychology department currently offers its 300-level courses in classes of 120 students. " T h a t ' s not f a i r to the s t u d e n t s , , and it's not fair to the f a c u l ty members," Thorndike said. Psychology , professor Frederick Grote identified three main changes in the curriculum. "First, we've added some 200- level classes that all majors must take," Grote said. 'The second main difference is that we've changed most of our 300- level classes." In the past, these classes were quite large, anywhere from 60 to 120 students, Grote said. "Now- the situation is that most of our 300-level classes require 301 and also the relevant 200-level classes," Grote said. The 300-level classes will now contain only 30 to 35 students. Grote said this will create a smoother transition to the 400- level seminars. Now, those classes will be filled with either psychology majors or people who want to be psychology majors, Grote said. "When students take the 400-level seminars, they will have more practice in writing and they will be more prepared," Grote said. "Those classes will be even stronger because students will bring in a broader background." With the lower numbers of students in the classes, the students will have more opportunities for participation and demonstrations, Grote said. "I'm very excited about it," Grote said. "I am teaching one of the new 300-level classes, and I have 15 students. You can do a lot more with that amount than you can with bigger numbers." Grote said the changes, which evolved throughout the past three or four years, were driven primarily by faculty concern. "The whole department has been intimately involved all along," Grote said. While the faculty are excited about the changes, many psychology students do not have such favorable opinions. Psychology pre- major Michelle Butler said she is irritated by the changes.. "The classes are really full," Butler said. "Basically, there's too many people for the classes, and the fact that they changed course requirements doesn't help." Another issue for students is whether or not the classes they are taking now will still count toward their-major. "People are taking classes that they don't really even need, and students don't realize that it's just a wasted class," Butler said. "I'm frustrated with it, but all you can do is do your best to graduate and take the classes you need." Senior psychology major Ryan Gray said he was inconvenienced by the changes. 'Tt is ridiculous," Grey said. "They switched everything around and made it more complicated for people like me who are in the middle of Attention Western Students!

"I just want to get my stuff done and get out of there, and this just complicated mat-ters," he said. Senior psychology pre-major Mary Wellnitz is also concerned about the changes. "I'm going to have to be here an extra quarter or two," Wellnitz said. "Personally, I feel like they should go by the requirements that existed when I was a freshman." Registrar Jospeh St. Hilaire said Western's policy is that major requirements apply to the student when the student first declares a major. "If you are a pre-major, it's up to the individual department," St. Hilaire said. "There is no university-wide policy on that." Grote said he thinks student confusion will dissipate as they become more familiar with the changes. ' "Students are going to have to pay a lot more attention to the upper-division prerequisites," Grote said. "We've given students a little more flexibility with prerequisites this year. We don't want to penalize students for courses they have taken in the past." " , • Senior psychology major David Helde said he sees the changes as a good thing. "They're making it a more well-rounded education," Helde See PSYCH, Page 5 Pilot course, fewer core classes are changes for Huxley students "By no longer requiring four classes, we will be able to offer multiple sections and keep class sizes smaller," he said. From HUXLEY, Page 1 "It's a good change to improve our curriculum so students will get an interdisciplinary view of environmental studies their first quarter at Huxley," Hardy said. "As this becomes the only required core course, it will provide background for other courses, but eliminate the overlap that students experience. Most students like choice in their curriculum." Huxley student Marisa Rosati said she is glad the redundancy will be eliminated. "There are a lot of hoops you have to jump through," Rosati said. "I've been really happy with Huxley, but if they can cut down (already learned material), it would save a lot of grief." Hardy also said the new change will help reduce class sizes. 'By no longer requiring four classes, we will be able to offer multiple sections and keep class sizes smaller'. Jack Hardy Department chair • Environmental Studies Hardy said the class will take a case study approach while giving students the writing, research and communication skills they need.

Ready said if Western doesn't do something about improving the lighting, it reflects that Western doesn't care about ending violence toward women. Originally, eight emergency call boxes dotted the campus, mostly located in far parking lots, UP Assistant Chief Dave Doughty said. Emergency call boxes are painted bright yellow and have a blue light glowing above them. As soon as a box is opened, a notification is sent to UP. Currently, 20 emergency and courtesy phones, which are on shorter posts, can be found around campus, and plans for more are in the' works. "We'd like to have as many as we can," Doughty said. He said the phones are used quite a bit for calls - frequently for pranks. Fortunately, only a few calls per month are an emergency, he said. Women aren't the only ones affected by the.lighting situation. Men as well as women are disappointed in the lack of light and a r e fearful themselves. "I think the lighting is specific (to lighting just Western's outdoor walkways)," Western senior Joey Engle said. "A path of light you can walk down is good but obvious. If you're a rapist, you know where the students will be." Kathryn Zylstra of the Associated Students Stargazer's Club said she does not want to change the number of lights on campus, but the types of them. Light pollution seriously threatens ' the stargazers' ability to view the night sky, she said. If the lamps on campus were changed so the light "was directed toward the ground, it would save energy and also be safer by reducing shadows, which an assailant could potentially hide, Bledsoe said. If Western can build a recreational center, then it can afford to improve the in lighting situation, Ready said. Students have mixed feelings about Psych changes The Western Front Online From PSYCH, Page 4 said. "You do have to do more work but you learn more." Along with all of the new changes, Grote said the major still has many advantages. "It is still one of the smaller majors on campus at 64 credits," Grote said. "This gives the •students more opportunities to explore other areas as well." Grote said this will be a transition year for the department. It has handouts available in the psychology department office and on the departmental Web site. "It will take a couple of quarters for the student population to get used to it," Thorndike said. "If you look at the college bulletin, the major is carefully structured at this point. The students can look at the major and see a very clear progression." Psychology professor Kristi Lemm said ultimately the students will benefit from this change. Confusion remains, however, for many psychology students. "I think some of the students are frustrated right now," Lemm said. "It may seem like they have more classes to take, but there are only a few credits more. Overall, I definitely think it is a positive change." These changes affect a significant portion of students according to Lemm. The psychology department contains between,500 and 600 students each quarter. ^BBHBllBB ESCAPE. PARTY. CHEER. DANCE. SLEEP.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., whose district includes Bellingham, called for an update from the U.S. General Accounting Office.on progress made by the Office of Pipeline Safety in instituting these safety guidelines. The three-month- long study began in June and was made public this September. In 1992, the National Transportation Safety Board stipulated 22 requirements and 39 recommendations for the OPS to follow. Peter F. Guerrero, director of Physical Infrastructure Issues, researched and wrote the report for Larsen. "As of Sepflil, 2001, 11 of the 22 requirements, including several from 1992 or earlier, remain uncompleted," Guerrero said. "OPS has the lowest rate of any transportation agency for implementing recommendations from the safety board." Although Guerrero said he is concerned about OPS safety precautions, he feels _ some progress has been made. Laura Harlos/ The Western Front The foliage around Whatcom Creek near the pipeline is still recovering three years after the blast that killed three. "OPS has made some progress in implementing statutory requirements over the past 16 months and expects to implement most of the remaining requirements in the next year or so," Guerrero said: Larsen serves on the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, which oversees the OPS. Larsen said he feels this issue has not been dealt with properly.. "Our communities deserve better than that," Larsen said. "Congress must pass stronger pipeline- safety legislation to ensure OPS has the tools it needs to improve our safety and our security." Dennis Lloyd, coordinator of the Pipeline Safety Program within the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, said he has confidence in the safety of the British Petroleum Pipelines. Not all transfers accepted By Charlette Livingston • THE WESTERN FRONT Western may not necessarily "accept a transfer student regardless of good grades. Although transfer students have a right to continue their education at any public school, i t , does not guarantee their school of choice. Many students have this misconception about the Direct Transfer Agreement, thinking whatever school they apply to must accept them. This is impossible because all schools have a limited amount of space. The Direct Transfer Agreement assures the transfer credit but not automatic acceptance. "Your chances are much better to be admitted if you're coming from a community college than if had not," Director of Admissions Karen Copetas said. Western's highest priority is accepting former students. "There are many legitimate reasons for them to be accepted back," Copetas said. Although some students may have a higher GPA, Western chooses to accept students who are coming from area community colleges with associate's' degree, rather than students who would be transferring with only one year of community college or from other schools. Out of all the transfer applications that were turned into Western, 58 percent of them were from Whatcom Community College, and 71 percent of transfer students enrolled are from community colleges. Transfer and freshman students have the same priorities. This year, out of 6,861 freshman applications, 2,245 are now enrolled for fall quarter. Out of 2,353 transfer applications, 992 are now attending Western. The goals for the amount of new students enrolled fall quarter was 1,000 for transfer students and 2,235 for freshmen. Western denied 789 transfer admission applications. This was because students had either low GPAs or had not paid fees. "Students that are having trouble don't know what they want to major in, and their GPAs aren't high enough," said Nancy Mullane, coordinator of Academic Advising at Whatcom Community College. "The more a student can prepare, the easier it is to transfer," Mullane said. Rebecca Crouse, a transfer student from Whatcom Community College, said transferring was not difficult. "I asked them what I needed, GPA and everything else, so that when I came to the university I would have everything planned out," Crouse said. a c h y Keen P f i r t k S p g c i a l a S| •NIGHTLY OR INK SPECIALS •FULL MUNU •RECEIVE A W E l l , DRINK FOR * !

Its indistinguishable storefront is lined with what some may consider neat piles of junk, resting on the walls outside the entrance, but its customers know that The RE Store thrives on the motto, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." Dean Fearing, a Fairhaven graduate with a degree in sustainable design and development with a focus on alternative building methods, managed the store for three years. "The RE Store is a community-oriented self-help store," Fearing said. "We are an outlet for people who want to get rid of their stuff in an environmentally conscious way and for people who don't mind buying used building materials at a good price." The RE Store is operated by RE Sources, a nonprofit environmental education organization founded in 1982 as Bellingham Community Recycling, Bellingham's first curbside recycling program. The RE Store's mission is to offer education to the public local environmental issues, provide opportunities for active citizen involvement and demonstrate viable, environmentally sustainable business activities. The RE Store helps to fulfill its goals by taking what would traditionally be considered trash and landfill- destined building material and re-selling it to the public. Signs posted in the store boast that the RE Store saves 1,200 tons of materials annually. Relying primarily on donations, the store re-sells nearly every building material imaginable: paint, doors, window panes, screens, sinks, bathtubs, electrical supplies, hardware, desks, cupboards, lamps, water heaters and an assortment of miscellaneous items. , The RE Store opened in 1993 -at its first location on Meridian Drive. In 1997, it moved from its former 12,000-square-foot location to its current 30,000-square-foot store. Fearing said sales increased during the past four years from about 40 customers per day to 80. "We are trying to make the community feel that we are more of a resource," Fearing said. "Without the chance to buy these things resale, they would have to buy it all new. The program has worked way better than anyone thought." Material for the store is collected through a variety of ways. The staff is available to accept donated materials. The store also has a full-time field crew that travels throughout the Seattle and Bellingham areas collecting materials from old businesses, schools, homes or any other group that is interested in making tax- deductible donations of their unwanted items. As a nonprofit organization, the money generated from the sales of its materials goes to cover wages, rent, insurance, vehicles and other business costs. Fearing said The RE Store is selective about what it can and cannot take. "It's tough because people here want to do everything they can to save things from being thrown out, but there are just some things that people won't buy anymore," Fearing said. "We could fill a building three times this size." To solve the problem of the donated items that won't sell-,- The RE Store began a program called ree Fridays: On the last Friday of month, items that were in the store long are set out for customers to ! home free of charge. "That helps us out a lot because we don't have to throw it away Fearing said. Nate Moore, an assistant manager in tomer service, said the store's customC range of backgrounds.

They collect books, paper, pencils, clothing, telephones and various other items. The items are packed into boxes and sent to Taclovan, the capital city of the island of Leyte in the Philippines. Throughout the past four years, the couple sent 66 boxes. After a trip to the Philippines this summer, James is expanding his effort to incorporate boxing as a way to help the people of Taclovan. One afternoon during his stay, James said he found himself in the company of a rich man named Wilson Chan, an elected official in Taclovan. "He is one of the few people who really genuinely wants to help the people," James said. "We started talking about boxing." James, an ex-professional boxer, said after his conversation with Chan, he envisioned an amateur boxing association as a way to set aside funding to buy equipment as well as help- 4 bag students on an individual level with issues like schooling and food. "If we get boxing teams going in the cities, the people would rally around a common cause," James said. James said while in the Philippines, he was able to see beyond the poverty and pollution and see hope and enthusiasm in the hearts of the people. "They are the most beautiful people I have ever met," he said. "They are so kind and generous. They would give you the last bowl of rice they had." During his stay in the Philippines, James said he surrounded himself with children. "I love children so much, and what I saw hurt me," James said. "When I saw kids sniffing glue to stave off hunger, it hurt me,"he said - "When I saw kids oh the street asking for Photos courtesy of money, when I saw kids wading through polluted James Ferguson water barefoot, it hurt me," he said.

" He said they have absolutely nothing to train with. They train by using old rubber tires. "There's nothing there," James said about the current boxing facilities. "It's just so makeshift." He said helping the kids is not just about boxing. "It's about coming up with a way to generate money to help them," James said. "I want to take those kids off the streets," he said. "I don't want to see kids standing in muddy water barefoot, standing there with their hands out begging for food." Rizza said she admires her husband's kindness. She said the boxing program is a way to help direct the kids in participating in positive activities, rather than doing drugs or succumbing to other negative influences. James is a local boxing coach with the White Cobra Boxing Association. One of his boxing students, Western alumnus Jennifer Sutton, had positive things to say about Ferguson's character. "Whenever he goes over there, he comes back with this overwhelming urge to give," Sutton said. James said as soon as the world settles down again, he would like to return to the Philippines and continue to provide help at a local level. He said he would like to make Taclovan a sister city to Bellingham. "We'd certainly be open to any request that would be able to support itself," said John Sands, president of the Bellingham Sister Cities Advisory Board. 'If the support can be demonstrated by the Whatcom County community, then that's great" "I would love to be able to get a group of students to meet and create an organization to figure out how to help people over there," James said. "I need bright, young people to help me figure out how to help those kids, how to help make the city a healthy place to live. "The Philippines are our ally," he said. "America saved them in World War II and because of this, they look up to us. This is a small world and it's getting smaller. 'T wish I had the means to give more," James said. "I just need help. That's all. I don't want to let those kids down." ---------- Western Front 2001-10-16 - Page 10 ---------- 10 • The Western Front S PORTS NCAA II Intramural October 16, 2001 Western fends off Central to retain cup By James Lyon THE WESTERN FRONT It wasn't pretty, but football games aren't won, with style points. In a game filled with weird and sloppy plays, Western beat rival Central Washington University 36-14 Saturday at Civic Stadium in front of a capacity crowd to capture its third-straight Cascade Cup. "It wasn't artistic by any means, but the bottom line is the score up on that scoreboard," Vikings head coach Rob Smith said. With the Vikings missing opportunity after opportunity to capitalize on turnovers, the game's fate wasn't decided until late in the fourth quarter. "We knew they weren't going to roll over and die on us," Western wide receiver Greg Dykstra said. The Vikings won their third-straight game, improving to 5-2 on the season. The Wildcats fell to 2-4.

Western extended its winning streak to 16-games this weekend with wins on Friday and Saturday night in Carver Gym. By Jeff Hoffman THE WESTERN FRONT After finishing the first half of conference play with a perfect 9-0 record, Western's volleyball team picked up right where it left off, with a sweep of two Great Northwest Athletic Conference matches Friday and Saturday. 'It's nice when we can play at home and have the majority of the fans on our side! Diane Flick Western volleyball coach The Vikings, ranked No. 3 in the Pacific Region and No. 22 in the NCAA Division II poll, held on for a victory over Western Oregon University on Friday with a three games to two win and swept Humboldt State University to remain undefeated in conference play and keep their 16-match winning streak in-tact. "Our team just looked mentally tired out there," head coach Diane Flick said. "Still, we were able to push through the adversity and still win." The Vikings, who are off to one of their hest starts ever, improved to 16-3 on the season and 11-0 in conference. Western took off in the first game of the match 30-12, its biggest margin of victory in a game this season. After winning the second game 30-25, it began to look like the Vikings were in for an easy night, but Western Oregon came alive in the third game. After the Vikings jumped out to a quick 5-2 lead, the Wolves came storming back, rattling off 14 of the next 18 points and easily taking the game 30-16. The Wolves also broke a 14-14 tie in the fourth game with a 6- 1 run that helped them win the game 30-26. "We became uncomposed and started making too many errors," Flick said. "We had six errors in the first two games, then 20 in the next two. Finally, we just decided to keep the ball in play and eliminate errors, and hit hard when we had the opportunity." Outside hitter Shannon Rowland amassed 19 kills, including a match point. Rowland, who has twice been named GNAC Player 61, the COMING SOON TO A THEATRE Week, also added eight digs and four aces to pace the Vikings. "We were really playing well in the first two games but making too many errors in the third and fourth," Shannon Rowland said. "In the last game, we came out strong and played good enough to win." The Vikings also had 16 kills from outside hitters Megan Evoy and Rachelle Cooper, and 19 digs from defensive specialist Nicola Parker. Saturday's match against Humboldt State took on a lot of the characteristics of Friday's match, as the Vikings came out strong and had to hold on for the win. Western took the first two games with relative ease, 30-20 and 30-21, but trailed most of the way in the third game and were down 27-24 late in the match. The Lumberjacks managed to take a 29-28 lead and were serving for the game, but the Vikings scored three straight points, including two by Cooper, and won the game 31-29. Cooper led the Vikings with 16 kills and five blocks, and setter Liz Bishop had a three-game season high with 50 assists. Rowland added 12 kills, and outside hitter Annamarie Thornton and middle blockers Kirsten Mann and Meghan Evoy each tallied 10 kills for the match. 'In the last game, we came out strong and played good enough to win'. Diane Flick Western volleyball coach Cooper received GNAC Player of the Week honors averaging four kills per game this weekend. She also added 20 digs, three aces and six blocks. The Vikings improved their school-record home winning streak to 18 consecutive matches. This record dated back to 1999 when they dropped a match to BYU-Hawaii, which was ranked No. 1 in the nation at the time. "It's nice when we can play at home and have the majority of the fans on our side," Flick said. "I like to think that it doesn't matter where we play, I want to play the same at home or on the road." Western visits St. Martin's College Friday and Central Washington University Saturday in a pair of GNAC conference matches.

Although the Viking defense gave up more than 400 yards for the second straight week, it made big plays when it needed to. Defensive backs Erik Totten, Andy Linscott and Anthony Dalton each had an interception. Dalton made another crucial play in the third quarter. With the Vikings holding onto a 29-14 lead, Central running back Nat Conley busted up the middle and raced down the field, running 52 yards before Dalton caught him from behind to punch the ball free. Cornerback Martez Johnson recovered the fumble. 'It wasn't artistic by any means, but the bottom line is the score up on that scoreboard.' Rob Smith Western football coach Dalton went one-on-one with a Central wide receiver late in the second quarter and lost the battle, giving up a touchdown. "After they scored that touchdown on me right before the half, I felt I let my team down," Dalton said. "So I needed to do anything I could to help the team." The Vikings' offense struggled, but still managed to gain 456 yards. Central's defense kept the pressure on the Vikings with an array of blitzes, as the Vikings' running game never figured out Central's defense. Western quarterback Scott Mitchell led the Vikings in rushing with 65 yards on 13 carries. "We didn't play as well as we would have liked," offensive tackle Joaquin Paratore-McNabb said. "Give credit to their defense, they played us real tough." Mitchell, a senior who played in his final Cascade Cup game, led the charge for the offense. Mitchell completed 25 of 44 passes for 313 yards and three touchdowns while adding another score on the ground. The Vikings raced out to an early 22-0 lead with a little more than five minutes to go in the first half. Mitchell led the scoring by throwing touchdown passes to Dykstra and tight end Rick Carte and also ran one in from 5 yards out. Central struck back. The Wildcats scored just before half time on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Central quarterback Dale'Chase to wide receiver Derrick Williams to make the score 22-7. A successful fake punt by the Wildcats on a 4th- and-22 play set up the touchdown. After seizing the momentum heading into halftime, Central gave it right back on the opening kickoff. Vikings' "reserve cornerback Nesby Glasgow Jr. picked up a fumble by Lance Johnson at the 18-yard line and danced into the end zone for a 29-14 Vikings lead. "That was a huge play," Smith said. "It's nice to see some of the young players step up in their first Western-Central game and make big plays." The final blow came one play after a Totten interception in the fourth quarter. Mitchell found Dykstra streaking down the sideline in single coverage for a 58-yard touchdown pass to make the score 36-14. "This one was special for the seniors who've been around so long and put so much into the program," Paratore- McNabb said.

Kinkade development tacky expression of art Emily Steel COMMENTARY Generic cottages, meandering sidewalks, hidden pathways and flowering gardens complete with ponds and fountains comprise the new gated community inspired by artist Thomas Kinkade. The manufactured community provides homeowners with a fairy tale-like portrayal of what is considered ideal. The so-called artist is more like a businessman, splashing his name throughout the market. Kinkade, branded "The Painter of Light," is well-known for his paintings of cottages, gardens and sunsets among other dreamlike portrayals. He has more than 400 galleries worldwide, drawing thousands to see reproductions of the same cozy cottage seen in a hundred different settings. He claims it's not about the money, but about bringing hope to people. By living in a painted community, one will be secure, happy and hold status in the dream community. But one can't help but notice his greeting cards, calendars and coffee mugs that flood the mall shops, not to mention the myriad of screen savers for sale or the collectibles on Quality, Value, Convenience (QVC) and the Home Shopping Network. Building company Taylor Woodrow Homes, along with Kinkade, recently opened The Village, a Thomas Kinkade Community, enticing homeowners with picturesque houses, gardens and-roads reminiscent of the 1920s. Located in a golf course community in Vallejo, Calif., The Village opened Sept. 8. The Village is just another marketable item. The Utopia Kinkade paints is no longer only available on canvas and every other tangible material, but you can now live there. The art (or products) produced by Kinkade are what one buys when craving normalcy rather than originality. By owning a Thomas Kinkade painting, one can obtain a false sense of security and happiness. The products are not just for personal enjoyment, but are something on which people can put a quantitative value and that other people can assess. The community gives people the false impression of what is considered ideal. Community members pay $105 in community dues every month. The dues go toward the upkeep of the private streets, lights, common areas and the remote-controlled gate at the entrance of the community, attempting to make the commu-~ nity more exclusive, adding to it's prestige. The Village includes 101 houses with prices starting at about $400,000. Four styles of houses are offered to choose from — The Chandler, The Everett, The Merrit and The Winsor. As if The Village couldn't get more trite, the houses were named after Kinkade's daughters. Each design includes depictions of the personality of each girl, such as music, hobbies, books and dolls. At The Village ribbon-cutting ceremony, Kinkade addressed the public about his vision for the community: "The attachment people have to my paintings can now be embodied in a real place, a place you can return to every day and make the type of memories that last a lifetime. It will also be the type of place where families can bicycle together and hike together." To compliment the gaudy monotony of houses in The Village, purchasing a Kinkade painting would make the perfect addition. ---------- Western Front 2001-10-16 - Page 14 ---------- 14 • The Western Front Opinions October 16, 2001 Despite graduation delay, course changes beneficial Students may moan and gripe upon hearing about Huxley College of Environmental Studies and the psychology department changing core requirements for graduation. These changes, however, are actually beneficial because they will provide students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of their major and reduce upper-level class sizes. The psychology department revised its curriculum by adding more 200-level classes and reducing the size of its 300-level classes. Huxley is eliminating a requirement to take four cbre classes down to two, but students focused on the science aspect of environmental studies have to enroll in an upper-level social science class. Similarly, Huxley students focusing in social sciences will have to take an upper-level science class. Huxley is also piloting a new course, which is intended to give students "a well-rounded grasp on both the science and social science aspects of environmental studies," Huxley College Dean Brad Smith said. The class will not be an official requirement within the program until next year. Although students in both departments may be inconvenienced by these changes, such as having to take more classes and rearranging their schedules, students will leave Western better prepared from the smaller class sizes and added prerequisites. Breakthroughs in both psychology and environmental studies make new classes necessary, especially if graduates wish to be prepared in their respected fields. Lowering class sizes is also beneficial to students because it increases interaction between students and teachers. The psychology department has up to 600 students per quarter, resulting in classes of 60 to 120 students in a 300-level course. The department's goal is to lower the number to 35 students. Nevertheless, the main objection students have had with these core changes is that these new requirements will delay graduation. Not all students will be affected by these changes in the core requirements, however. Students have to adhere to the specified major requirements when they first declared their majors, Registrar Joseph St. Hilaire said. The students who do have to adhere to the new major requirements should feel lucky having to take added prerequisites. They will learn more information about the new trends in psychology and environmental studies, thereby being more formidable competitors in the job market than their predecessors. Adding more classes and lowering class sizes may affect expected graduation dates, but staying an extra quarter or two at Western for the sake of smaller class sizes and new classes is worth the extra wait.

[dudt-fope-Vt £fc(i6fo..£lfe( 'Free' speech needs no apology Greg Woehler THE BLIND IDIOT I'm taking the week off, dear reader (s). It's hard coming up with these half-assed opinions every week, what with my classes, work and eight hours in the weight room every day. I'm expected to fill this space though, so instead of opinions, I offer questions. Today it's all about what you think. This is just extra credit, so feel free to skip right to Cops Box and then toss me in the bin. The question for today is: What do we do with all these troublemakers on America's college campuses? Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, students and faculty voiced all sorts of ideas. They're saying we deserved it, that the attacks were a response to globalization and American imperialism. They're saying we're just as bad as Osama bin Laden if we retaliate and kill innocent people. People are paying a price for their ideas with death threats, suspensions and calls for their resignation. How the times change — in the 1960s, students blew up buildings and took hostages. Now, they get in trouble just for opening their mouths. A Western professor sent me a column from the Oct. 8 U.S. News and World Report in which author John Leo laid out just what's wrong with American colleges these days. The piece includes a cute little cartoon with lots of charicatures of stupid, naive peacenik college kids. "A campus culture has arisen around very dangerous ideas," Leo wrote. "Among them are cultural relativism, rionjudgmen-talism and a postmodern conviction that there are no moral norms or truths." Is he right? Do you see evidence of this on our holy grounds? Should Western be a place that harbors and fosters dangerous ideas such as intellectual freedom, or should the school churn out agreeable drones who work hard and question nothing, as Leo would like? Jonnie Hargis, a library assistant at UCLA, recently found out just how dangerous unpopular ideas can be, at least for the person speaking them. After the terrorist attacks, a co-worker of Hargis sent a patriotic e-mail to everyone in the department quoting a 1973 speech by a Canadian entitled "America: The Good Neighbour." 'Does a place for such tasteless remarks during this crisis exist? Shouldn't we punish Berthold? How dare he hide behind the First Amendment?' Fine. No problem. We all like America. Hargis decided to weigh in with his own thoughts. He fired off a message to the same people, saying America wasn't such a good neighbor because we support "apartheid-like" policies in Israel. He finished off the note with the parting shot, "so who are the 'terrorists,' anyway?" Bad timing, Jonnie. Whereas the first e-mail went ignored, UCLA suspended Hargis without pay because he broke a rule prohibiting religious, political or patriotic mass e-mailings. Several hours after Hargis sent his message, UCLA announced the rule. If I were offering my opinion, I'd start howling at the top of my lungs right now about free speech, double standards and "the marketplace of ideas." I'm on vacation, though, so it's all about what you think. Do you agree with what Hargis said? Do you think we should let him say it? Does your answer to the second question depend on your answer-to the first question? Here's a tougher question: how about what conservative pundit Rev. Jerry Falwell said? He said abortionists, feminists, gays and lesbians and the American Civil Liberties Union helped make the attacks happen. He said we're being punished for taking God out of the classroom. Should we shut him up? I'm struggling with that one myself. Lawmakers and alumni are calling for the dismissal • of ---------- Western Front 2001-10-16 - Page 15 ---------- October 16,2001 Opinions The Western Front • 15 College should foster free speech From SPEECH, Page 14 might just be different from those in other countries? Do you see more questions in the world than answers? Which professors have been teaching you these things? We'll toss them out of here at once. Do your parents know what their money is being spent on? Has college taught you to be skeptical or suspicious of information? Do you ever find yourself searching for your own opinions? Do you now, or have you ever, thought outside the box? Don't worry, John Leo and lots of other people are here to help. They can rid your poor, conflicted mind of any confusing questions or ideas you may have come up with on your own. Repeat after me: "We are in good hands. Whatever we do in response to the terrorist attacks is the right thing." There. I went an entire column without stating any of my own opinions. I hope you haven't done the same. • Editor's note: The Blind Truth was changed to The Blind Idiot at the columnist's request. Flag burning every American's right Josh Haupt COMMENTARY PREGNANT?

Stout Sept. 30 in Noblesville, Ind. for exercising his constitutionally protected right to free speech. By burning an American flag. They jailed him on a misdemeanor charge of flag desecration and as of yet have not released him. Stout's choice to burn the flag is protected by a 1989 Supreme Court decision, which holds that burning the flag is an exercise of free speech. Despite this, 48 states have laws on their books making it illegal to burn the flag. Burning a flag in Massachusetts, for example, carries a one year jail sentence and/or a $100 fine. This past July, Congress made an effort to introduce legislation that would make it illegal to burn the flag. Thankfully, the House rejected the bill. A person's choice to burn a flag in protest is the ultimate expression of what it means, ideally, to be American. Burning a flag is the strongest symbol of the freedoms contained in the First Amendment. If citizens feel strongly enough about a particular issue, they should be free to criticize the government and its policies via the expression contained in the burning of a flag. At a base level, U.S. citizens are the government, but by approving an' amendment to prohibit flag burning, it seems as if legislators are trying to protect the government from its citizens. In the current climate of increased patriotism, emotions are high, and the decision to give away our freedoms in favor of being told we are safe happens all too easily. Above all we need to remember that once given away, those freedoms are gone forever. If we as a "free" nation make it illegal to burn the flag while at the same time people in other countries are able to burn the American flag freely, what does that say about the controlling gestures implied in such legislation? Such restrictive legislation is the first step in controlling expression. This makes it much easier to approve further legislation that would limit the ability of U.S. citizens to openly criticize the policies, both foreign and domestic, of a democratically elected government. That is fascism. If a U.S. citizen wants to burn the American flag in protest, then go ahead — that's merely exercising the right to free speech. If that person is then arrested, they should contact the Washington state branch of the American Civil Liberties Union at www.aclu-wa.org or call the legal complaint line at 1-206-624-2180. i i Til cnrx?

Mountain users have accessed old logging roads and man-made trails from two main entrances located on Birch Street and Galbraith Lane. Despite the mountain's allure, most of its vast acres he on private property and are accessed illegally by mountain- goers. 7 am not harming the landowners by being out there, but some really care! Scott Morton mountain biker Many of the mountain landowners, residents and users have different opinions regarding who may enter the trails and where to properly do so. The majority of the mountain's trails are on private property owned by residents, the Trillium Lumber Corporation, Bloedel Timberlands Corporation and the City of Bellingham. A misconception to many of the Quoc Tran/The Western Front Lake Padden and Bellingham Bay can be seen from the top of Galbraith Mountain. mountain's users is that the mountain trails he on private property, said Mark Peterson, president of the Whatcom Independent Mountain Peddlers. "WHIMPs is the informal/formal stewards of the mountain," Peterson said. "We bike through the mountain and provide assistance to its users and owners with first aid, maps and any other form of help or advice." Privilege to access trails differs depending upon who owns the land. Some homeowners don't care and some do, said Scott Morton, Western senior and mountain biker. "I access Galbraith through Birch Street, but it is a big place, and it's not always convenient for Village Books proposes height expansion Laura Harlos/The Western Front John and Sophia Baker browse together in Village Books. The store may expand to include five condos. By Keri Cooper THE WESTERN FRONT Village Books store owners' proposal to build a complex of five condos on top of their store has created controversy between the residents of the commercial district of Fairhaven. , With the condos, the new height of the building would, reach 40 feet, five feet higher than city height codes allow. They will also obstruct the view of many local businesses and residents. Judson Plaza, one of the major commercial complexes in Fairhaven, will lose its waterfront view in 19 of its windows. The Fairhaven Neighborhood Plan intends to enhance urban development, with buildings that match the architecture and support the urban destiny. The plan breaks Fairhaven into 15 separate areas, with different specifications in different areas. The area where Village Books is located is at zone 2B, which only allows buildings to stand 35 feet tall without obstructing already existing buildings' view of Bellingham Bay. The Bellingham City Council voted 5-2 in favor of moving forward with the plan Monday. "The plan is flexible and can work with already existing ordinances," Councilmember John Watts said. "Any building built will have to affect someone's view." Bob Ryan and Gene Knutson, the two councilmen who voted against advancing the plan, said they believe this action is opening the flood gates for all future builders hoping to ignore height restrictions. "How in good conscious can we say no?" Knutson asked about future building plans. "We're opening up a wicket we can't close." Patricia Marek, owner of the Fairhaven Psychology Group in Judson Plaza, said allowing tall buildings to be built will soon make residents feel dwarfed as they walk down the streets. Councilmember Barbara Ryan said she favors the Village Books addition. She said she believes downtown Fairhaven will benefit from the beautifica-tion of buildings with historical value. "These buildings are a treasure," Ryan said. Fairhaven business owner Coenraad Zielstra said he wants to ensure the building requirements won't be sacrificed where building height regulations are slightly higher. me to ride in through the designated openings," Morton said. "I am not harming the land owners by being out there, but some really care."

During the course of the night, her friends have left, and she still needs to get home. A stranger said he lives nearby and can give her a ride home. Little does she know that he has no intention of going there. "I had a student who caught a ride home from a guy,"said Crime and Sexual Assault Support Services Crime Victim Services coordinator Sarah Rankin. "A friend of a friend or somebody knew the guy. He drove her to his house and raped her instead of taking her where she thought he was taking her." Rankin said this scenario often leads to the sexual assault or rape of college-age women. "Men will offer intoxicated girls rides with what looks like the intent, of sexual assault," Rankin said. "It appears they're looking for drunk girls." "Sometimes it's their first time out on their own," Rankin said. "You go out with friends, and there are times you don't come back with them. You're vulnerable. A perpetrator is going to a bar to find someone drunk. So their vulnerability is sometimes obvious." Dave Doughty, University See CRIME, Page 4 Rape survivor tells her story By Cara Hazzard THE WESTERN FRONT Western student Andrea Jones* is normally an outgoing, happy person. Lately, she said she has been afraid to be alone or be in large crowds. Jones was recently raped by an acquaintance. "It affects every single aspect of my life," Jones said. After the incident, Jones received a full medical examination and filed a police report. The investigation is ongoing. Jones said since the incident, she has at times felt constant fear, anger and frustration. "I couldn't be alone in the house," she said. Jones said she has also found herself afraid of and resenting anyone who resembles her attacker. "He still has control," Jones said. Jones said this incident has also affected her friends. "If the word comes up, I can feel everybody tense up around me," Jones said. "I do too." Jones said contacting Sarah Rankin, coordinator of Crime and Sexual Assault Support Services, has helped. "Talking about it does help, as hard as it is," Jones said. Rankin has been Jones' liaison with the officer investigating the case, and has contacted Jones' professors to excuse her. Jones said Rankin has helped her realize she did nothing wrong. "Regardless, unwanted sex is unwanted sex," Jones said. Jones said the Counseling Center was also very helpful. 'It's nice to have someone there to talk to who knows exactly what you're going through and that it's not weird," Jones said. *Name has been changed to protect the victim's privacy.

NATIONAL NEWS Bush signs Aviation Security bill Americans who are taking to the skies during the upcoming holidays can do so knowing the government is making a "new commitment to security in the air." The pledge came from President Bush, who Monday morning signed a measure aimed at tightening security at airports and making flights safer from terrorists. It will put the people who screen airport baggage on the federal payroll. "For the first time, airport security will become a direct federal responsibility," Bush said. The measure will also require airports to expand their inspections on checked baggage. They will have to put explosive detection systems in place by the end of next year. Bush will sign the bill at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., which shut down for weeks following the September attacks. United States suspects Iraq, North Korea of building biological weapons The United States is voicing concerns about what other countries might be doing in their laboratories. The United States "strongly suspects" Iraq has taken advantage of three years of no inspections by the United Nations to improve its biological program, Undersecretary of State John Bolton said. Bolton, who handles arms control issues, stopped short of linking Iraq's program to terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden. The United States also finds North Korea's biological weapons program "extremely disturbing," Bolton said.

Western student Colin McDonald proposed that all Western's coffee be Fair Trade certified, meaning that it ensures fair wages to the farmers and grows organic coffee. "Fair Trade isn't intending to compete with Starbucks," McDonald said. "If that puts pressure on the Starbucks industry, then wonderful." As of now, Starbucks only has a caffeinated drip coffee that is Fair Trade-certified, McDonald's proposal is to certify all the coffee, including decaffeinated and espresso. Fair Trade-certified coffee is grown without chemicals or pesticides, and it also eliminates the middle man to ensure the farmers receive a fair wage for their labor. "Fair Trade is coffee with a conscience," McDonald said. McDonald said he surveyed Western students in December 2000, and 385 of 400 students said they would be willing to pay 5 to 10 cents more per cup of coffee if it ensured farmers would receive a fair wage. 1 I personally think it is a worthy cause to look into. I feel we should do our research and give it a lot of consideration! Allison Smith AS vice president of Student Life "I personally think it is a worthy cause to look into," said Allison Smith, vice president of Student Life. "I feel we should do our research and give it a lot of consideration." Nori Yamashita, general manager of campus Dining Services, however, said we need to keep the customers in mind because the coffee is a little more expensive. In a three-day span from May 9-11, more than 900 Western students signed a petition endorsing Fair Trade coffee service on campus. 'This coffee is socially and environmentally better," McDonald said. "The beauty is that the coffee in general is a higher quality." "The ball is moving now," he said. McDonald said Yamashita and Kay Rich, director of University Residences, are supportive of the idea of a full line of Fair Trade coffee. "It would add a considerable expense," Rich said, "but the students might like it." Smith said the board of directors doesn't know what the result of the petition will be. She said the proposal was an informational session, and no one will know about Fair Trade's future on Western's campus until the pros and cons are fully researched. "I believe they (AS) will sign the .proposal," McDonald said. "We'll see in two weeks." Male student hospitalized after mixing drugs By Courtney Howard THE WESTERN FRONT Mixing prescription medication with over-the-counter drugs resulted in a male student being transported to St. Joseph Hospital Wednesday night. The responding officer, Jason Karpe, said the University Police received a medical aid call at 8:31 p.m. Since it was a medical aid call, Karpe said UP does not know what medications the student took. UP cannot release any other information about the student or the situation. Information regarding the student's condition and when he was released from the hospital is not available because UP does not do follow-ups on medical aid calls, said Dave DoughtyUP assistant police chief. St. Joseph Hospital cannot release medical information about the student because it would violate his privacy. Reading.labels helps prevent adverse drug reactions, said Steve Ardent, St. Joseph Hospital Pharmacy director. All over-the-counter drugs, exept herbal remedies, have warnings on the package informing consumers about harmful side effects from taking the drug with certain prescription medications, he said. "If there is no warning and a customer is still concerned, they can go to the drug center and ask to speak with a pharmacist," Ardent said. Ardent said the first step doctors take in treating drug interactions is to try to obtain information from the patient about what drugs they took. A remedy is used to block one of the drugs if one is available for either of the drugs taken, he said. Then doctors treat the patient's symptoms until the drugs wear off and everything returns to normal, Ardent said. For example, if a person comes in bleeding due to a drug interaction, doctors will try to stop the bleeding or give the person a transfusion, he said. By Josh Haupt THE WESTERN FRONT Western students have a new ally in defense of their civil rights on campus. A student chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union recently gained approval as an Associated Students club. Western student Keith Houser organized the group to create awareness about civil liberties within the Western community. "I wanted to organize the group out of a sense of duty, I guess," Houser said. The group, recognized as a chapter of the ACLU and an AS clubas of Nov. 5. will spend time creating dialogue with the Western administration regarding specific policies and their impact on students' lives, Houser said. The addition of an ACLU group on campus comes at an appropriate time to open different venues for discussion for students, AS President Corey Eichner said. "I'm glad to see groups like the ACLU stepping up and saying, 'Hey, let's talk about these issues,'" Eichner said. Meeting times haven't been formalized yet by the group, Houser said. "We don't want to alienate anyone," Houser said. "We want to establish a definite presence on campus before Thanksgiving." Recent legislation approved by Congress, such as the Homeland Security Act and War Powers Act, have given unprecedented powers to law enforcement officials, such as increased wire tapping abilities. Last Wednesday, President George W. Bush approved a far-reaching measure that would set up military tribunals to try suspected terrorists. According to the national ACLU Web site, military tribunals would authorize secret trials without a jury and without the requirement of a unanimous verdict. This limits a defendant's opportunities to confront the evidence against them or choose their own lawyer, according to the Web site. "I don't think people would be so willing to approve these measures if they knew some of the details," Houser said. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are prompting such discussion. The club will focus its attention more directly on issues relating directly to Western students as well as educating students about issues such as privacy rights, policing, drug issues and Resident Advisor infringements of student privacy. "A lot of people are living in fear, especially freshmen, afraid to be themselves," Houser said. The group's adviser, Fairhaven theater professor Dan Lamer, said he is optimistic about the group. This isn't the first time an ACLU chapter has tried to organize on campus, but it's the first time "that one has actually threatened to get off the ground," Lamer said. "The good thing is that the country is thinking about civil liberties," Lamer said. "The bad thing is that people are too willing to give them up." The ACLU, founded in 1920, is a nonprofit legal organization specializing in the defense of civil liberties. These civil liberties include reproductive rights, lesbian and gay rights, women's rights, police practices and racial equality. The ACLU has more than 300,000 members and offices in all 50 states.

"Any time you do something that reduces your inhibitions, you're putting yourself at risk," Doughty said. When women come to report a rape or sexual assault, Doughty said the UP offers women counseling first. According to statistics from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, an estimated 70 percent of rapes will not be reported. Rankin said this number could be even higher. "The most recent research I've seen says 85 to 90 percent of victims don't report it," Rankin said. 'Tor the minority that do report it, medical evidence is very important because they can collect the evidence, and it can be used in trial and the legal process." Doughty said one reason people don't report the assaults is because of a lack of understanding of police procedures. "A lot of it is that the victim feels embarrassed," Doughty said. 'They're afraid of what they might face in reporting it. They don't know it's really a nonthreat-ening process." Rankin and Doughty said they agreed many women feel like they have done something to bring the assaults onto themselves. "Some people are feeling very at fault and blame themselves," Rankin said. 'That kind of blame is very common and (misplaced)." The perpetrators are who we need to hold accountable." "It takes us a long time to even get to the question of why the perpetrator was doing that in the first place," she said. "Until we get to that place in society, there are things women can do to lower the risk." The NSVRC estimates that 70 percent of perpetrators know their victims. Doughty said that once an assault is reported, a criminal investigation begins. He said medical attention is needed to try to gather forensic evidence such as semen, pubic hair or skin flakes, which can then be DNA tested and checked against police records. Rankin said medical attention is also needed to check for internal injuries, pregnancy and STDs a victim may not even know they may have. Doughty said once physical evidence has been taken, the victim is then interviewed to determine a possible description or sketch of the suspect. He said sometimes, due to lack of medical attention, enough evidence is simply not available to file charges. In this circumstance, the UP sends the case to Western's judicial system, which can then deal with the perpetrator as seen fit. "This gives the victim then a chance to get some sort of justice," He said. Perhaps the most important aspect of remaining safe, Doughty said, is simply to use good judgment. "Go out in groups. Go group dating. Don't go drink just to get drunk," Doughty said. • "It doesn't give permission to anyone else, but it makes you more vulnerable," he said. , For more information, contact CASAS at 650-3700.

"One lady, disturbed by our (Morton and his friends) usage of a trail on the Lake Padden side, laid down on the trail and tried to stop us from entering," Morton said. Trillium Lumber owns two areas of the mountain, covering 1,081 acres. According to Trillium's land usage policy, all nonmotorized vehicles can use its timberland, Trillium forester Randy Bartelt said. "Trillium doesn't allow motorists because of liability issues," Bartelt said. "We have been sued in the past by motorists injuring themselves on the trails. The vandalism and garbage left by motorists is another major reason, Trillium doesn't allow them. Whenever we open our gates, we find garbage ranging from tires to roofing material." Galbraith Lane residents don't have a problem with recreational use. of the trails, said Pat Hicks, a resident of Galbraith Lane for more than 30 years. The only discrepancy is the amount of cars that park along the private road on the weekends. The city built a parking lot just outside • the turnoff for mountain users, but most just disregard it, Hicks said. "I have been living here for over 30 years and love to ride my horse up the trails," Hicks said. "My only objection to mountain users is the complete disregard to the ecology by some motorcyclists. They make tremendous ruts in the ground, and years back even started a fire." Four-wheelers are damaging trees by running over timber, driving over culverts and littering all over the mountain, said Jerry Kingslien, biker, Galbraith user and member of the National Off Road Bicycle Association. "I was walking up a logging road with my kids," Kingslien said. Up ahead, a pickup truck came Mach 1 toward us. I just stood there until the truck stopped." Litter has become a major issue among the mountain bikers on the mountain, Kingslien said. "I have found oil cans, Jack in the Box trash and even an invoice for truck tires," Kingslien said. "I go up the mountain to get away from the city, and what do' I find, but garbage. I mean, how many cyclists ride with a half rack of Busch beer?" An independent developer is building an 80-acre housing development on Birch Street, Peterson said. Injunction with the mountain's users and owners, the developer agreed to build three trails from the site leading up the mountain. Adjacent to the south of the development are 60 acres of land purchased by Bellingham and Whatcom County, Peterson said. To Peterson's knowledge, the city/county owned portion of the mountain is the only public park land that is legally accessible. The most frequently ridden trail, The Ridge, Peterson said, leads up the mountain past the 60-acre public park land and opens up into a field of power lines that is privately owned. "Currently, there is a patchwork of land owners that have variable land-use policies," Peterson said. Thanks to Galbraith Mountain, mountain bikers, hikers, motor vehicles and horseback riders can enjoy the reason Bellingham has become an outdoor mecca. Galbraith is the reason Bellingham was, voted by Outside magazine as one of the top 10 best places to live for outdoor enthusiasts. Mountain Biker magazine also ranked Bellingham as the seventh best place to live and ride in the country, Peterson said.

Each medal, ribbon and stripe reflects personal or unit measurements. By Charlette Livingston THE WESTERN FRONT Following the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. military enlistment has increased. While those enlisted take pride in their jobs and look to the future, some Western students are not as supportive. Western student Alex Goins served four years in the Marines and was stationed on the USS Kitty Hawk out of Japan. He is using his time spent in the Marines to pay for his tuition. Goins said that while in the military, his unit was not as close as others, and that lack of closeness caused him to color his perception about the Marines. This perception was later changed after changing units. "I was more relaxed with the guys," Goins said. "At that point the Marines became fun, and I had already decided to get out." . Before joining the Marines, Goins said his goal was to become a police officer. "After the third week of boot camp, I thought that it wasn't for me," Goins said. "This was a regimented lifestyle where everything was dictated, even down to telling you what underwear to wear. There were very specific standards." Gains said if people are interested in joining the military, they need to look at each branch because they all offer something different. "The military is not a kill, kill, die, die place," Goins said. "There are a lot of positive things in the military. The military isn't for everyone, but what you learn is." While Goins used his military experience to pay for college, others enlist for the challenge and the many perks the job offers. Lynden High School senior Rachel Sefton enlisted in the Army before the attacks. "I have no apprehensions about joining," Sefton said. "I found that the Army was mostly female friendly, more than most of the other branches," Sefton said. "They guaranteed my job for me, and they can guarantee my pay and where I'm going to be stationed, unlike other services. They can actually get it down on paper when you sign up, and that made it most appealing for me." Sefton said she doesn't want to follow the typical female stereotype of being behind a desk. She also doesn't want special treatment from the Army because she is female. "I feel that a woman should have to do the same things as a man," Sefton said. Sefton enlisted in the Army July 5, and is in the Delayed Enlistment Program. The program allows her to enlist in the military while still in high school. She will graduate June 15, 2002 and will leave for basic training 10 days, later. Basic training is a nine-week process, which Sefton said she is looking forward to. "When you think about it, the Army is paying not only to go to college and get your degree out of the way, but also to be in the best shape of your life and be the best person that you can possibly be and reach for your goals and obtain them," Sefton said. Sefton said she plans to take college courses while enlisted in the Army and after she is discharged. While enlisted, the Army will pay 75 percent of her tuition, and she will receive $26,000 with her GI Bill. The GI Bill will also help her with college expenses once she is out of the Army. Currently, Sefton is working at the Army recruitment office as a recruiter's assistant. She started working at the office after she enlisted. She does not get paid and is using the experience for her high school senior project. For her project, she is going to make a brochure for the. seniors at Lynden High School, which will be distributed at the end of the school year for graduating seniors interested in the military. Following Sept. 11, Western's Career Services Center has not reported an increase in military interest, said Tina Loudon, Career Services Center director. "It would be interesting to see how world issues impact the response," Louden said. Representatives from the military attend the two major career fairs on campus each year, she said. "They always keep information current at the fairs," Louden said. She also said the military keeps the information in the career center office well-stocked and up to date- Louden said she feels more people would be willing to join the military after graduating from college. Many Western students, however, said they have mixed feelings about joining any branch of the military. "I don't want to go to war because I'm against war," Western student Abra Beck said. Due to medical reasons, Western student Aaron Caruso said he wouldn't join the military. 'If I didn't have medical reasons, I would probably join because it is my patriotic duty," Caruso said. "The events pissed me off. I would want to do my part and kick some ass." Surendra Shrestna, an international student from Nepal, said he feels if he was a citizen, he would consider joining the military. Although he is not an American citizen he is more concerned with going back home and taking care of his parents. Western student Jonathan Dempsey said he feels he is too much of an independent person to join the military. Dempsey said while he supports the military, he would never find the need to join. "The attacks on Sept. 11 gives me more respect for those who joined and joined up now; however, nothing would drive me to sign my life away," Dempsey said. "I wouldn't join because I have more promising prospects with Western than with the military."

Customer Darrell Schoen, right, shops for natural foods. MMNI mmmmmmm§* By Helen Hollister THE WESTERN FRONT ^people are in doubt or denial, but it is indeed true: Disneyland exists in Bellingham. It is not called Disneyland, however. The enlightened, privileged people of the Bellingham community call it "Deals Only." Within the walls of this James Street store exists more magic than most people see in a lifetime. In many ways, Deals Only serves as an almost enchanted theme park for poor college students and also just regular folks who enjoy a good bargain. Comparing Deals Only prices with those of a regular grocery or household goods store reveals substantial differences. Cereals priced at $3 to $5 at regular stores can be purchased at Deals Only for no more than 99 cents. Organic soups and pasta entrees, normally $3 to $5, are priced at 49 to 99 cents each. Western senior Mifa Ko said she feels ridiculous pay- Manischewitz noodle pudding can be purchased for 99 cents at Deals Only. ing a premium price at regular stores when it is available at a discount price at Deals Only. "I found a bottle of flavored syrup for $1.50 that costs $20 in Japan," Ko said. Along with the prices, the most admirable feature of Deals Only is the vast selection of products. Upon entering the doors, one is overwhelmed seeing aisle after aisle filled with anything a person could possibly want, as well as everything a person didn't even know that was needed. The product selection includes household items, health and beauty supplies, automotive parts, seasonal items, infant products, electrical supplies, toys, cleaning products, school supplies, food and home decor items. To locate diapers, incense, Pez candy, crayons, ingrown toenail relief strips and lunch boxes, take an immediate right, past the checkstand. Continue down the aisle and spy the wonders of American flags, Kotex Lightdays Panty-liners, compact disc racks, coffee mugs, curling irons, glitter, bicycle helmets and automatic Christmas tree waterers. The aforementioned items are only a mere fraction of the awe-inspiring array of products available at this store. Deals Only has been in Bellingham for more than 12 years. Store manager Sirpa Halmekangas moved to Bellingham with her husband from Canada, where they sold their original Deals Only "stores. They opened the first Bellingham store on Railroad Avenue, just down from Cellophane Square, where they were in operation for 10 years. Halmekangas, who is originally from Finland, said the store's name was her husband's idea. "He always likes to have good deals," Halmekangas said. Halmekangas said they receive most of their products from stores that are overstocked or bankrupt. "We get the stuff the stores pull off the shelves, like discontinued items," Halmekangas said. "We do buy regular merchandise, but most of the items are close-out." Shopping at Deals Only does have a risk. Some of the products are past their "sell by" dates. A representative from • the Food and Drug Administration said non-perishable items are not required to have expiration or sell by dates on them. "We say hot to eat it past the expiration date just to be on the safe side," she said. Several of Deals Only's employees are immigrants. The manager employs several people who are originally from the Ukraine and Russia. "When the first workers came, they were Russian, and imam" ' t h e n % h e i r Tr i e n d s "ancl ^families c a mf e , " ^Halmekangas said. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I t just happened that way. We have ho preference." While JEialmekangas said she is happy with the store's success, she does not plan to expand. Halmekangas described her store as "flavorful." She said what separates Deals Only from other stores is that it has brand names at really good prices. One reason why the store has been able to maintain low prices is its sales policy. The policy states: "All sales are final. No returns. No refunds. No layaways. No holds. Everything sold as is." Jose and Fiorina Cervantes, Deals Only shoppers, said they shpp at the store for the low prices on household items and Mexican foods. Western senior Dave Sloane called the store a "crap-shoot." "Sometimes I find everything I need," Sloan said. "Other times I go home empty-handed. Last week, I got a framed Monet (print) for five bucks — you can't beat that." Customer Darrell Schoen said he enjoys shopping at the store because of the good prices on natural foods. "You never know what you're going to see because the products are always changing," Schoen said. Western senior Whitney VanderWeerd said every time her parents come up to visit from Seattle, they insist on going to the store. "It has also become a weekly outing for my roommates and I to go to Deals Only," VanderWeerd said. Store employee Amie Preau has worked for Deals Only for tworand-a- half years. Preau said she likes working there because the customers are always happy when they come in. "Most of them are regulars," Preau said. Preau said her favorite purchases are make-up products and cooking sauces. She said the most popular items are soy and rice milks, health bars and cereals. "We get a lot of organic stuff in here that sells at a really good price so it goes really fast," Preau said. Preau said working at Deals Only has been a positive experience. She attributed that to the friendly atmosphere among the employees. "The bosses are really nice here," Preau said. "My mom works here, my sister works here. It's a very family- oriented workplace." ---------- Western Front 2001-11-20 - Page 8 ---------- 8 • The Western Front n S PORTS NCAA II Intramural November 20, 2001 Nationally ranked Viking men's basketball team sets goals high By James Lyon THE WESTERN FRONT Western men's basketball coach Brad Jackson dances around the question when asked about a national title this year, but he said knows his team is capable of beating any team in the country. "We know we can play with the best teams in the nation," Jackson said. "On any given night, we have a chance to win if we play as we're capable of playing." The team is ranked No. 2 on the Streets . Smith and Basketball Times Division II basketball rankings. , 'We had one talk about the national title earlier this year, then we put that thought away," Western guard Shelton Diggs said. "If we go out and play hard, then things should take care of themselves." The Vikings backcourt will be manned by a pair of four-year starters, Diggs and Basketball Times preseason Ail-American senior guard Jacob Stevenson. Stevenson, who averaged a team-high 16.1 points and 4.4 assists per game, will be sidelined for the first couple of weeks of the season but should be ready when league play starts Dec. 6 at St. Martins College. He broke his right (shooting hand) in what Jackson described as an "off-court altercation." The Vikings will start 6-foot-5- inch junior Nehemiah Campbell at small forward. Campbell is a spark plug "whose energy on the floor can be infectious at times. He has always been known as a defensive player but has worked hard in the off-season to improve his offensive skills. Also returning to start at power forward is A.J. Geisa. Jackson has named the 6-foot-7- inch Geisa as team captain; The senior earned All-League honors last season while averaging 14.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Anchoring the Vikings in the middle will be 6- foot-10-inch junior Mike Palm. Palm averaged 14.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last year. Brain "Yogi" Dennis and Darnell Taylor averaged double figures in points while starting the first nine games of the season last year until they were both declared academically ineligible. Dennis, at 6-foot-6-inches tall and 285 pounds, is an immovable object in the post. He averaged 14.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game before ending his season prematurely. Taylor is the shortest Viking on the squad at 5-foot-9- inches, but he is the fastest. His speed and quickness can ignite the Vikings on both ends of the floor. "We have a lot of offensive weapons," Jackson said. "We can play a small, quick lineup or a big, powerful lineup. This is a very versatile team that does not have a lot of weaknesses."

Overconfidence sinks No. 2 Vikings in home opening loss By Amber Blondin THE WESTERN FRONT Opening the season as the NCAA Division Us No. 2 team in the nation, the men's basketball team failed to capture a win against the Cascade College Thunderbirds of Portland, Ore. by a score of 91-94. By winning the tip-off and scoring within the first four seconds, the Vikings began the game with confidence. As the game progressed, that confidence slowly diminished. Western maintained the lead for the initial seven minutes of play with a score of 19-9. Following a Nehemiah Campbell offensive foul, Cascade stole the momentum, going on an 11-0 run to take the lead, 20-19. A 3-pointer by Cascade's Zach McUne at the 8:48 mark gave the Falcons the lead 25-24, a lead they would never relinquish as the Vikings played catch-up the rest of the game. McUne was hot from 3- point range, going 5-for-7, scoring 17 points. "I was extremely disappointed with our defensive efforts," head coach Brad Jackson said. "We definitely have a lot of work to do." "I think we took for granted that we were No. 2 in the nation, so we came out tonight overconfident," Western senior guard Darnell Taylor said. '"Tonight just proved we need to come out stronger every night, and we can't just rely on our natural abilities." A barrage of late 3-pointers by Taylor cut the deficit by four points to 85-89 with 18 seconds left in the game. The late run proved to be too little too late for the Vikings. "Everybody's going to come out and give us their best game," senior guard Shelton Diggs said. "We need to make sure we give them ours." The Viking front-line was led by junior Mike Palm, who ended the game with 19 points and a massive 12 rebounds. Other key players of the night included Diggs, Taylor and senior forward A. J. Giesa. The three of them combined for 49 points on the night. The Vikings will host the WWU/ Chuck Randall Thanksgiving Day Classic Tournament at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday night at Carver Gym. Jackson said Monday's game will not affect the team's confidence heading into the tournament. $$$ Save on Travel $$$ Save on Airfares, Rail Passes and Hotels With an International Student/Faculty I.D.

Forward Tessa DeBoer scored a career-high 23 points on 10-of- 13 shooting and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. The Vikings, 2-0, won their 26th consecutive regular- season tourney game, having won or tied for first in 12 straight regular-season tournaments. PLU, which also faced Western in last year's final, fell to 1-1. The Lutes were led by 15 points and nine rebounds by center Jessica Iserman. Western held "a 33-26 lead at halftime and did not trail in the second half. Western led by 12, 46-34, with 10:46 to play. PLU rallied back in the game to make it 51- 51, on a free throw by guard Becky Franza. Ten seconds later, DeBoer hit a lay-in, falling down in traffic to put the Vikings in front for good. The Lutes didn't have a field goal in the final five minutes. Western shot 32.2 percent from the field but had a 49-26 edge in rebounds, with DeBoer and center Jenn McGillivray grabbing nine. McGillivray also had eight points, seven assists, six steals and three blocked shots. Reserve center Susan Rodgers added 10 points and six rebounds for the Vikings. Lewis and Clark College placed third, winning the consolation game, 65-60, over Evergreen State College. DeBoer was joined on t he all-tournament team by McGillivray, Western guard Julie Walker, Iserman and Keatts of PLU and Lewis Clark forward Brynn Henkel.

Viking volleyball team ends near-perfect season at NCAA Division II Pacific Regional Tournament By Jeff Hoffman THE WESTERN FRONT One of Western's best volleyball seasons in history came to an abrupt end Friday night. The No. 2 seed University of California-San Diego Tritons swept the Vikings in the semifinals of the NCAA Division II Pacific Regional Tournament. After hanging on for a thrilling 3-2 win against the California State-Los Angeles Golden Eagles Thursday night to get into the semifinals, the Vikings were unable to get by the Triton's superb defense in the three games to zero win. The Tritons went on to win the tournament by upsetting host and No. 1 seed California State University-San Bernardino 3-2 in the final. Thursday night, the Vikings started slow against the Golden Eagles, dropping the first game 30-21, but rebounded to win the match 30-28, 30-20, 27-30, 15-9.

Viking setter Liz Bishop helped the balanced attack with 61 assists, 14 digs and two service aces. Outside hitter Rachelle Cooper also contributed 16 kills, 16 digs and four blocks. "You never know how you are going to come out the, first time you're at regionals with young players," Western coach Diane Flick said. "While they were excited at the beginning, they settled down and played some solid volleyball." Western jumped out to a quick 5-2 lead in game one, but the Golden Eagles jumped back in the game with a 6-1 run, a lead they never relinquished. "It was an excellent match for us," Flick said. "We play a fifth game every day in practice, and at the end of the match tonight, we had enough gas to win." Friday's match started out with the Vikings on top in the first game 11-7, but the Tritons tied the match at 12. The two teams played very close the rest of the way. With the score tied at 25-25, Western made two costly hitting errors, and the Tritons held on to win 30-28. After the Tritons jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the second game, the Vikings slowly narrowed the lead to 14-12 before the Tritons went on a 10-2 run to put the game out of reach. Middle blocker Kathleen Hentz led the Tritons with 13 kills in 22 attempts and four blocks. "Western Washington came out and played very well," Tritons coach Duncan McFarland said. 'They put a lot of pressure on us in the first game. We struggled a little bit, but we got back into our own rhythm. Winning that first game was crucial." The Vikings finish the season with one of the best records in school history at 24-5 and also finished a perfect 18-0 in the GNAC and made the school's first appearance in the NCAA Division II volleyball playoffs. "To be where we are at, I'm very proud of this team," Flick said. 'To beat Cai State L.A. is a great accomplishment. We are still a pretty young team and are looking to build on this and get better next season." Bellair S'filPtle Every Saturday through year end WWU ; Sunset Square Sri-o w a t e r R e s o r t; Mt.

Concerned citizens have tried to find ways to rejuvenate downtown and the new proposed plan for the Mason site might lead downtown Bellingham out of the pits. This 11,000-square-foot plot of land, located on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Holly Street. Amidst local businesses such as the Little Cheerful, Bank of America and the Horseshoe, this pit is in the heart of downtown. What would be appropriate for a downtown corner Bellingham? How about a three-story building with a mix of city space, retail offices and apartments? Three men, from the Leland Consulting Group proposed this attractive plan before the council Monday. The council passed the proposal 6-1. "It's urban; it's dense; it's clearly a gateway building to Holly and to the city," said Jeff McClure of the Leland Consulting Group. This plan would be the ideal use for this property. The new building would attract other businesses, add to the allure of downtown and increase property value. In this plan, the city would maintain the ownership of the land and the pad (the current basement structure). The developer owns the structure above the pad and builds and finances it. The developer has a 50-year land lease with the option of three additional 10-year renewal leases. "I believe in the project," Mayor Mark Asmundson said. "It is a great site. I encourage you to celebrate this opportunity as a big step in our downtown." The pit has been an eyesore for downtown since it was consumed in a fire in 1994. Some community members disagree with this use of the land and use of taxpayers' money. Remember those protesters under the name of People for Public Space? They were the ones, in a group of 40, who dug up cement and planted flowerbeds in the pit. They also suspended themselves from rope, played dijeridoo music and chalked the cement walls. All of this activity was to convince the City Council to use the pit as a community garden. Twenty-eight protesters were arrested and cited under second-degree trespassing. The corner of two busy streets is not ideal for a park or playground. Also, parks in high- traffic areas are notorious for crime. Can anyone say Pioneer Square, Occidental Park, Denny Park or any other Seattle area ending in "park"? Most of the City Council members were excited about the proposed building plan. The retail office space would promote and complement other downtown businesses. The repair of the site will help rejuvenate downtown. This building, which would be safer than a park at this location, will attract people to visit downtown. People mean money. This lucrative area is important to the commercial revitalization of downtown. Frontlines are the opinion of The Western Front editorial board: Homer Cook, Jr., Brooke D. Geery, Remy P.

If you've heard any Seattle-area news lately, you know something big is going on down there, something that has turned life upside-down, subverted the dominant paradigm and rocked the world of thousands of Suburban-driving suburbanites. Krispy Kreme has landed in the Northwest, right in the heart (the belly?) of Issaquah. Krispy Kreme is a North Carolina-based chain of doughnut shops that are apparently in league with Satan to get every person in this country addicted to their heroin-infused treats. Or something like that. The Seattle media have sprung into action and covered this story with a passion not seen since the Mary Kay Letourneau saga. The papers and TV stations gave us around-the-clock coverage of the Oct. 30 grand opening, and they've been tireless sources of doughnut news ever since, which has absolutely nothing to do with the free doughnuts Krispy Kreme has sent them. What's the big freaking deal? They're just glazed doughnuts! People speak of their first Krispy Kreme as if you'd asked them about their first kiss. Some people say the Original Glazed is better than sex and worth any price the company charges for them. The Issaquah shop racked up almost half-a-million bucks in sales its first week — obliterating the company's sales record. People camped overnight for the 5:30 a.m. opening, and a week later, customers/addicts were still waiting three hours to get their deep-fried fix. The Front didn't get any free samples, and our invitations to the VIP party must've been lost in the mail, but I had to taste this sugar-glazed happiness for myself. I owe it to you, the faithful readers, to infiltrate this Krispy Kult and get the story. Knowing that I, too might become an addict, I took a trip down to Issaquah Sunday morning with Kelly, -my lovely assistant, who swore she was just there to keep me company. This made me suspicious — she'd had Krispy Kremes before, and I saw a glint in her eye I'd never seen before. Eastside traffic always sucks, but it was different that day. The drivers looked edgy and nervous; some were mopping sweat from their brows or gnashing their teeth and digging fingernails into See KRONIC, Page 11 Embargo targets Cubans, not Castro Cara Hazzard COMMENTARY In an attempt to overthrow Cuba's Communist leader Fidel Castro, the U.S. government enacted economic sanctions against the country in 1962. After nearly 40 years, this has proven to be a failed tactic. A better way to help Cuba change would be to lift the embargo. This would introduce Cuba not only to U.S. goods, but also democratic ideas. The latest update in the economic war against Cuba is a softening of restraints in reaction to the recent devastation of Hurricane Michelle. Food and medical supplies are allowed to be shipped from the United States to Cuba to lessen the suffering of the Cuban people and to help the country get back on its feet. Prior to Michelle, the Cuban embargo was tightened even further by the Helms-Burton Act, initiated by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C. This act goes so far as to punish foreign companies that do business with Cuba by denying visas to company officers. The worst part, however, is a provision allowing Americans to sue foreign companies that use property in Cuba that was seized from the United States when Castro took over. Unfortunately, this tactic has not worked. After almost 40 years of U.S. economic oppression of Cuba, Castro is still in power, and the country is still Communist. It is time to lift the embargo and try other means of getting rid of Castro. This is, of course, only if the United States still feels it has the right to determine how other countries should rule themselves (Freedom of beliefs? What?). Many people, mostly conservatives, disagree with this sentiment and have said the embargo needs to stay and even be made stronger. Helms; who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, leads the fight to keep the embargo-in effect. His supporters believe this embargo is the only way to accomplish their ultimate' goal — to get Castro out of Cuba. Helms has said he will not negotiate with Castro. "Whether Castro leaves Cuba in a vertical or horizontal position is up to him, but he must, and he will leave Cuba," Helms said, as quoted in an essay, "American Foreign Policy Honors" by James Morrison, published in May 1997. One of Helms' and many other people's arguments is that Castro needs to be punished for his widely publicized anti- Americanism. The United States allows its citizens to say and publicize virtually anything they want, including statements against the American government. Yet these embargo-supporters don't want other countries' leaders to say anything bad about America? It simply doesn't make sense. Many people believe lifting the embargo would be equivalent to admitting defeat. Some Americans in power are still bitter about the fact that America has not been able to get See EMBARGO, Page 11 ---------- Western Front 2001-11-20 - Page 11 ---------- November 20, 2001 Opinions The Western Front • 11 Northwest doughnut invasion proves anticlimactic From KRONIC, Page 10 their steering wheels. These people weren't going to IKEA or the Supermall, and they sure as hell weren't going to church; these were junkies going to get their Krispy Krack. Off- duty cops herded dozens of gleaming SUVs and minivans through a traffic cone course toward the promised land: the drive-thru window. On foot, we got in line at 12:25 p.m. It was cold and windy, but the heavenly smell gave us strength. In line we met Dave Parks, who came from Whidbey Island for his first Krispy Kreme. 'T. don't even like doughnuts," Parks said. "I just wanted to see what the fuss was about." In a half-hour we were inside the shop, watching the machinery crank out the rings of dough. It reminded me of those old short films that showed how cars and stereos are made. "Krispy Kreme: building a chubbier America." A Krispy Kid named Ron was working his way down the line, handing out free samples. This was it — my first taste of the Krispy Kronic. I gingerly plucked a doughnut from Ron's tray. Waves of warm yumminess floated to my nose. The orchestra swelled. Time stood still as I brought it to my mouth and took a bite. It tasted exactly like a glazed doughnut. It was better than a glazed from Haggen's, but not dramatically so. It was not the giant leap for doiighnutkind I had hoped for. A little bit of me died that day. All in all, the Original Glazed was pretty darn ,good, unlike their cruller (a twisted cake doughnut), which was dense, dry and had a strange, spicy aftertaste. The coffee was good and strong, and Kelly gave their nonfat milk two thumbs up. You can buy your milk in caramel, hazelnut and almond flavor, or something ominously called Original Kreme flavor. I wanted to tell you that this doughnut changed my life. I like nothing better than announcing that the emperor has no clothes, but I wanted so badly to say that this doughnut was worth the hype. I wanted so badly to believe. This emperor isn't naked, but he's wearing an awfully skimpy outfit. The Krispy Kreme did not change my life, and it was not better than sex. Kelly, who could find the silver lining in a plane crash, said she'd had fun just waiting in line. She likes the feeling of community she gets from sharing an experience like this with other people. Don't optimists just bug the helioutof you? The payoff is never worth the hype. Was "Titanic" worth the hype? How about "The Blair Witch Project?'

Embargo fails to displace Castro From EMBARGO, Page 10 a tiny island country to do what it wants it to do. Another major argument against lifting the embargo is the Cuban people will not see any of the benefits, Helms and his supporters believe Castro and his government will reap all the benefits of trade with America for themselves. This is a guess, at best. How can anyone predict what Castro would do with the profits of trade? The problem with the embargo is that it indirectly oppresses the Cuban people. The small amount of profit Cuba currently receives from the sale of its goods is held by the Cuban government. This is keeping its people in a constant state of poverty. On top of this, the government has made it clear to its people that the only reason they are in such a state of poverty is because of the U.S. embargo. Additionally, the Cuban people are so downtrodden and dependent on their government, it would be very difficult for them to organize and fund a revolt. How was this embargo supposed to make the Cuban people force Castro out? If the embargo was lifted, the United States could not only export goods to Cuba, it could also export ideas. The Cuban people would be flooded with the American ideals of freedom, ambition and capitalism. If the U.S. government wants the Cuban people to fight to become a democratic society, isn't this a better way to encourage it than economically oppressing them? The bottom line is the embargo is not working. Such a sanction will not remove Castro from power, despite debate about his validity as Cuba's leader, his anti- American propaganda or his government's profit requisitioning. It's been 40 years. The United States needs to swallow its pride and try something else. www.mountbakertheatre.com YOUR TICKET TO BIG-TIME ENTERTAINMENT OFF CAMPUS how can you keep a kid off drugs?

Peace Campaign. "Although the accord was signed almost two years ago, the United States continues to subsidize 80 per cent of the Thieu government's budget, includingthe military supplies needed to continue their aggression against the Vietnamese people," Hayden said.Hayden, a founder of Students for a Democratic Society and leading radical of the '60s, appeared withactress-wife Fonda, and Harris at a program sponsored by the local chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War/Winter Soldier Organization (VVAW/WSO). The program is part of a nation-wide tour to bringpublic attention to the continuation of the Vietnam war. Earlier Saturday, the three met with U.S. andCanadian anti-war activists, Vietnam veterans and draft resisters in Peace Arch Park at the Blaine border crossing. They called for a boycott of Ford's amnesty program until all U.S. involvement in Indochinaends and a universal and unconditional amnesty is reached. Hayden called for an Indochina Peacepledge to be adopted by elected officials. The three-part pledge includes prohibiting direct American reintervention in Indochina, abiding by the political provisions of the peace agreement and stopping allnonhumanitarian aid to Thieu and Cambodian President Lon Nol. "I'm talking about funds from such U.S.programs as Food for Peace to construct tiger cages for political prisoners," Hayden said.. About 500persons attended the evening program which included a film made by Fonda and Hayden during a 1972visit to North and South Vietnam. The film, "Introduction to the Enemy," contrasted the war-time life-styles of the people in Hanoi and near the demilitarized zone. It was originally confiscated by the U.S.Customs. _ , _ See pg. 5 for related story.

Mark Dodson, 19, and two of his friends, Carrell McCarthy and Steve Page barely made it to the5 p.m. deadline of the Eberhard Faber National Art Scholarship Contest, held eligible to all Western artstudents, after learning three hours earlier that they were the only contestants. Gene Vike of the artdepartment said the poor turnout might invalidate the contest and the amateurish quality of the artists'work might disqualify the entries. Lack of student involvement in the contest was caused by the refusalof both students and faculty to support it, Vike said. "The unfortunate part of it (the contest) is that itcomes off as a commercial venture," Vike said. "Students look upon art as a more significant mediathan that." He said a company representative originally approached the art department to drum up apromotion for the company's Design Art line of felt-tipped pens. The rules in the contest stipulated allentries utilize at least four of the Design Art markers. After learning he was the only entry, Dodsonasked to speak to one of the faculty in the department and persuaded him to let him come down andpresent his work. Then, he mentioned the contest to his two friends, who drew up their own entries.McCarthy "took a couple of knives on her painting," Dodson said. Page, the third prize winner, spentabout five minutes squiggling out his entry, a wavy collage of Eberhard Faber colors. The three presented their exhibits to Vike, who later criticized their quality. "The way they were, I didn't really want to showthem to anybody," he said. "So I asked them to put on new borders and bring them back Monday."Student acccess to records eased After today Western's students will be able to see that little folder oftheir vital statistics, and they can rest assured every Tom, Dick and Harry won't be thumbing throughtheir life history. The Famuly Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 will go into effect today.Under the act, no institution of higher learning will be granted federal monies if it has a policy whichdenies or prevents students from inspecting all material that has been placed in their cumulative record.Open to students inspection will be such things as attendance records, scores on aptitude,standardized, and psychological tests, health data, family background information, teacher andcounselor evaluations, and results of mental and psychiatric evaluations. Also, outside access to thisinformation will become more tightly controlled by the students under the new law. Current Westernpolicy allows for the release of student names, phone numbers, GPAs, majors and class scheduleswithout a students consent. After today, anyone, including parents of students over 18, who desire to see a student's record will have to have a signed release from the student whose file is being requested. Aprovision is also incorporated into the law which will allow students to challenge any material in theirrecords they consider to be false, or irrelevant., Students will also be allowed to request information beadded to their files. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare will handle student complaintsand requests. Dean of Students C.W. "Bill" McDonald said the new law will cause no problems atWestern. "We are very careful about what we release concerning a student's records," McDonaldexplained. "There will be no major change in our policy." inside.... ^ Huxley to help plan city's futureFaculty and students of Huxley College are serving in a program to assist the Bellingham city government in planning the cities future.

Visiting hypnotist mezmerizes Western Ron Roe, who says he "is not ahypnotist," recently demonstrated his craft, explaining that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, its successdepending on the participant. He ended his presentation by hypnotizing the entire audience. See P9-2. V J ---------- Western Front - 1974 November 19 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, Nov. 19, 1974 Demonstration found hypnotic by BRUCE HAYES Withoutusing whirling disks or enticing fingers, Ron Roe hypnotized an almost full Miller Hall auditorium Friday.Roe, who says he is "not a hypnotist," demonstrated the craft he uses to aid people in, among otherthings, quitting smoking and controlling their eating habits. He utilized the same techniques he employsin his classes. In order to achieve the hypnotic state, total relaxation is necessary. Studentsparticipating were instructed to concentrate on relaxing various parts of their bodies, beginning with thescalp and continuing down to the toes. All the time, Roe's voice described a warm feeling the relaxationshould bring, caused by the students' concentration. To demonstrate the power of suggestion, Roetouched several students on the forehead while they were hypnotized. Before bringing them out he saidthey would be unable to open their eyes until he said so. After awakening, they appeared unable to doso until Roe instructed them to. The entire process, from the first relaxation to the final awakening, tookabout an hour. "All hypnosis is self-hypnosis," Roe said. "It is based on your expectations. A stagehypnotist comes across as pretty dynamic, but all the participants are volunteers. The only reason hecan hypnotize them is because they think he can." Hypnosis, he said, happens during a state thateverybody goes through when they fall asleep. As sleep comes, a person's brain waves move at everslowing rates, through the beta, delta and alpha stages. One remains at the bottom state for about halfan hour, then gradually returns to the waking state. « When brain waves reach the alpha state, Roesaid, hypnosis can happen. "A person is most open for suggestion and learning," he said. "All I'mteaching people is how to get to this state and how to hold it." "While you are in that state you are totally and completely aware. You hear everything, you have all five senses. It is not unconsciousness, it is analtered state of consciousness." Roe described hypnosis as "the direction of energy units into a funnel."He said concentration, usually on the hypnotist's voice, is used to reach the goal a person wants toreach. "The mind responds to what you want it to." It is not a complicated thing, he said. "The mind isdeceptively simple. It is very straightforward. All the experiences you've had are in there." "Yoursubconscious mind is the best friend you've got," Roe said. "That's where your power SELF-HYPNOSIS - According to Ron Roe, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

Duringregistration it will be brought to the Registration Center for easy access by students. y AS boardponders eligibility rules The AS Board of Directors Thursday attempted to waive a ruling declaring ASVice President Hugh Larkin and AS Business Manager Chris Wright ineligible for office. The move wasnecessitated when it was found neither Larkin or Wright are taking the minimum number of creditsrequired to hold an AS office. ' The board also proposed a subcommittee be formed ' to study andevaluate college policy CHRIS WRIGHT which says AS officials must take a minimum of 12 credits tohold office. The recommendations concerning Wright and Larkin will be sent to Dean of Students C.W."Bill" McDonald for evaluation. Although McDonald has sent letters to both Larkin and Wright statingthey are ineligible for office, McDonald wouldn't .comment, on what, his final decision might be. RayBanks, the Board of Directors member who proposed the motion that Larkin and Wright be removed from office, said since Scott Cairns was recently fired from his post as AS Secretary-Treasurer for breaking_AS rules, Larkin and Wright should also be removed. Kay Burke, Viking Union director, said theminimum credit rule "comes from a long time back" and is no longer workable because of changes inthe college over the past few years. "It raises as many questions as it answers," Burke added. In opencriticism of the minimum credit ruling, Burke called it, "a vestige of time past that should be dealt with."Student Caucus Chairman Steve Barrett questioned the ruling of the board. The board's request for thewaivers assumes that Wright and Larkin will increase their credit loads next quarter, which gives themanother chance, Barrett said. "Cairns was not given the consideration of a second chance for a rule thatnever existed," Barrett continued. HUGH LARKIN Fairhaven dean resigns post to teach Fairhaven DeanKenneth Freeman has resigned, effective some time next year, to teach religion and philosophy atFairhaven. The details of his resignation and of how he will be replaced are yet to be decided byFairhaven College faculty, staff and students. Campus pub possible, but no one's acting Why doesn'tWestern have a campus pub? It may be because no one has been willing to expend the energynecessary to get one, according to Pete Coy, director of housing. "Three years ago a proposal for acampus pub was approved by the Board of Trustees," Coy said. "But liquor laws at that time made itimpossible." Since then the State Liquor Board has reversed their 1895 decision outlawing the sale ofliquor on college campuses. The University of Washington has a pub, as does Central Washington State College. Coy explained that a new proposal would have to be submitted because things have changedsince the last one was approved. Asked who could submit the necessary proposal to the board, Coyreplied, "Anyone could do it. The custodians could do it, if they wanted to. Or the students could do itand probably get some support from the faculty." "I would like to be able to turn to beer in the cafeteria," Coy continued. "It's a lot cheaper than milk or Pepsi." "About all that can be said so far," facultymember Michael J. Burnett said, "is that the Fairhaven community is working out the details."FTeeman, who notified Fairhaven faculty of his decision by memo on Wednesday, was unavailable forcomment this weekend. He met with Fairhaven faculty on Friday afternoon to discuss the method forchoosing his replacement. The new dean, chosen from outside or inside of the college by faculty, staffand students, may share his or her appointment with other Fairhaven faculty members. Fairhavenfaculty contacted this weekend were not surprised at Freeman's decision. "He had talked aboutresigning to teach for a long time," said Burnett. "Ken Freeman," faculty ' member William J. Clevidence said, "isn't the kind of person who's happy being just an administrator." ---------- Western Front - 1974 November 19 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, Nov: 19, 1974 Western Front 3 Huxley helps city's planning by RON ZOBEL Huxley facultyand students are serving in a program to assist the Bellingham City Council and the city's Planning andDevelopment Commission to plan for the city's future.

But to the literaryworld at Western/"Jeopardy" is a highly respected magazine—an exposition of poetry, short stories and art submitted by many known authors and students at Western. "We've had many famous writers' work in 'Jeopardy,' but few students have taken advantage of the publication," Pegeen White, new editor of"Jeopardy," said. "It's an excellent magazine and I will try my hardest to get more Western studentsinvolved." White, a junior majoring in English, said writing for "Jeopardy" is "a good step for a student totake. It's read by well known writers." To a r o u s e student participation, awards will be given tostudents who submit the best poetry and short stories. First prize will be $75 and second place will be$25 for both the best poetry and the best short stories. The work submitted will be judged by knownwriters from the Pacific Northwest. White also expressed a need for an artist to do a series of picturesfor this year's publication, which will be available early spring quarter. She hopes about 10 pictures bythe same artist will provide "a certain artistic unity" in the magazine.

These neighborhoodmeetings started this week and will continue into January. These neighborhood goals will be used in the formulation of city policy statements and in the construction of several scenarios of "alternative futures" for Bellingham. A final report on the results of this provess will be submitted to the city council. The city council has resolved to use the report in determining budget priorities for the 1976-77 budget. "This isthe first project of its type in a city of this size," Everett explained. "It will be one of the few opportunitiesto have a direct impact into the city's comprehensive plan." Any resident, including students, are invitedto any of the neighborhood meetings, r e g a r d l e s s of which neighborhood they live in. Huxleystudents Larry Graser, Gail Bingham, Dave Leppanen and Colleen Mosley and Huxley faculty member ; Clare Dyckman are assisting Everett. The student members are receiving credit for their work. "I'minvolved because I believe communities should communicate," Bingham, a student in the environmentalplanning concentration, said. "The community isn't an abstract entity separate from the people whomake it up." Mosley and Leppanen are especially interested in media and how it affects goals andvalues. Mosley has prepared a slide and film presentation on Bellingham's past and present which willserve as an i n t r o d u c t i o n to the neighborhood meetings. In a d d i t i o n to the neighborhoodseminars, several films are scheduled to show at Western.

"We want a pub!' Obviously, most students on thiscampus like to drink. If you don't believe that, try wandering around any dorm on any given night. What Iwould like to know, is why isn't there a pub on campus. In past years, state law prevented such adecadent and corrupting thing. However, the law was changed this summer and the only thing stoppingthis campus from enjoying the bubbly is lack of concern. Although it's been several months since thelaw was changed, few people on this campus have tried to do a thing about getting a pub. A lot of peoplemoan and bitch about wanting to stay on campus to enjoy a few brews, but so far nobody has taken theinitiative. That is, until today. The logical place for students to look for leadership might be theAssociated Students. The students who did look' to the AS to do something are probably gohig to haveto look elsewhere. The administration sure isn't going to do a thing unless it's obvious that the studentswant it. I'm sure much of the faculty would enjoy the chance to sit down for a few brews too. They alsolike to have banquets and receptions with something stronger than Dr. Pepper. Since waiting for the ASto provide student leadership is like waiting for Mt. Baker to erupt, the Western Front would like to makethe following proposal. Any persons interested in having a pub on campus should come down to theFront office and speak to Dennis Ritchie and O.K. Johnson, the editor and managing editor. Feelingfoolhardy and having compulsions to become lightning rods for flack, the aforementioned messieurswould like to find out how to organize such a project. If people want to see a pub on campus, theyshould be provided with leadership. Until somebody who knows what he's doing can take over organizingthe proposal for a pub, the Front may as well take an active part in providing any leadership it can. tKnowing the college governance system of committees and councils and more committees and morecouncils, it's likely the results may be a long time in coming, but it'd be a constructive step forward if thelong planning process could begin now. -Dennis Ritchie Faulty sidewalks profitable I was walking to myclass in* the Humanities building when I noticed my friend Justus dressed in a black suit and tie, handing out pamphlets. "Justus," I said. "What are you doing?" "I'm working," Justus said, as he shoved apamphlet into a passing student's hand. "You mean you're getting paid to hand those out?" I said,pointing to the papers. "That's right," Justus said. "Who's paying you?" I asked. "I'm working for twoplaces," Justus said, "Happy Day Chapel and the law firm of Seymour and Suemore." "Isn't Happy DayChapel in the funeral business?" I asked. "It sure is," Justus said, "In fact Happy Day Chapel is theMacDonalds of undertaking. Right now they have the fastest growing funeral business in the Northwest."But why do they pay you to stand by the Humanities building and pass out pamphlets?" I asked. "It'sreally quite simple," Justus explained, "Haven't you noticed. The sidewalks around here Saga eaters well-fed are in horrible condition. It's only a matter of time before someone trips and breaks their neck."Yep," Justus added, "Happy Day figures if they advertise now they can bury you later." "And what aboutthis law firm?" I asked, "Why do they pay you?" "That's simple. I stand here and watch people stumbleand fall flat on their faces. Before they can get up I rush over and tell them to contact the law firm ofSeymour and Suemore." "I mean have you ever seen a better example of negligence," Justus added ashe pointed to the sidewalk. "You might be right," I said. "I am right," Justus said. "I better be getting toclass," I said. "And I better get more pamphlets," Justus said. "Then I'll stand in front of the Viking Union for a while. The sidewalks there are starting to get bad and maybe with luck someone will trip into theroad and get hit by a car." —Jeff Bettinson Street beat by D. STARBUCK GOODWYN The street isrestless today' The Street is restless today. Suzie the bartender is keeping a weather eye onquarrelsome customers bickering around the bar. Her movements, as she wipes absently at the bar orserves a glass of beer, are distracted. She is more interested in watching the customers-to stop troublebefore it starts. Suzie is a pretty girl, 25, maybe 30, years old and apparently of Indian or Latin blood. Her big black eyes and beautiful olive complexion blend in well at the Ritz bar where the clientele is mostlyIndian and Chicano. Suzie is pretty but she's not soft. She's damned tough. She has to be. "Some daysit's like this," she said matter-of-factly. "Hell, it's not noon yet and I've already had two fights and havethreatened to call the cops a couple more times." I asked her if she had to call the cops often. "Nah,usually I just threaten to. I don't like the bulls in here any more than the customers do. They (the police)don't understand us." Sammy is a little man with very pale skin, a derby hat, a gold tooth and ever-present sun glasses. Sometimes Sammy works behind the bar and sometimes he works on the otherside polishing it with his elbows. Sammy is having problems today. Sammy is arguing with his ladyfriend, a big woman, twice his size, who keeps telling him she's going to take her daughter and go backto the reservation and get the hell away from him and all other mean little men. Sammy cocks his fist tohit her and she very calmly jerks his glasses off, throws them across the room, pulls his derby hat downover his eyes and shoves him off the bar stool. Suzie is around the bar in a heartbeat. Eyes flashing, shetells the lady friend to get the hell out and stay out. A six-foot blond guy attempting to grow a mustacheand wearing the uniform of the street: a pair of dark shades shoved up on his messy blond hair, standsup and tells Suzie to "let the lady alone." Blondie has been trying to make out with a middle-aged Latinwoman who must have been exotically beautiful before time and tide caught up with her. Blondie told thewoman he is a doctorate in philosophy at Western. Maybe he is. I've never seen him on campus, but he's probably never seen me either. Suzie thinks Blondie is a phony and tells him as much, giving him agraphic anatomical description of where he can put his phony doctor's title on his way out the door.Another woman, claiming to be Blondie's wife, berates him from her seat at the bar demanding that hecome home with her. Suddenly everybody in the Ritz is on the street yelling. Allegiances change as fastas the odds on a track tote board. Customers that had engaged in cozy conversations seconds earlier are screaming at each other.

Some days are like this." Editor, Western Front: It is about time someone spoke out about the state of affairs at Saga. It is unnecessary and disgracefulthat students show up day after day, meal after meal at Saga dining halls and be bored by the same old menu. Saga quickly becomes a s c h e d u l e d source of .disenchantment when faced with the sameassortment of beverages, ihe same soups, the same salads, and the same all but too slow lines to beserved. This situation presents an almost insurmountable dilemma, not to the meal planners of Saga,but to the overfed, affluent, and pitiful individuals who face the world food crisis as they treat Saga: Witha silent resignation of indifference. My objection is not that ticket holders should not get their money'sworth by eating less, but that a group of the best fed people anywhere should feel some sense ofthankful resignation to their good fortune. For those who can laugh in the face of world starvation, rorthose who refill their plates with as little introspection as they scratch an itch, these people have notknown hunger, and are' indeed CRIMINAL! David Van Winkle Junior, Fairhaven Student mad aboutcarving Editor, Western Front: I noticed a student and his girlfriend walk up to the wooden sculpture that sits south of the Wilson Library. This student took a knife out of his pocket and carved on this veryinteresting sculpture his initials and his girlfriend's, then he encircled the initials with a heart. Thethought that came to my mind upon viewing this display was: "Am I at college or grade school?" I can'tunderstand how anyone could walk up to a sculpture that obviously is very expensive and proceed todeface it. The only conclusion I could reach was that the student mentioned at best, had the mentalityof a sixth grader. Oh, yes, the initials were "T.L." and "M.O."

First-person account Fonda s the same after 15 years PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION - Saturday's anti-war demonstration under the Peace Arch in Blaineattracted nearly 200 people -photos by George McQuade Fifteen years telescoped in reverse and I waslooking at the Jane Fonda I had known and liked at the University of Omaha. I was talking to thephotographer and didn't see her get out of the car. When I looked up she was only a few feet away and Isaw the bangs and closed-mouth smile, and for a heart-beat her gaze touched me and she seemed to be giving me a personal greeting. I knew better. It was simply that peculiar kind of charm she was born with or developed early in life. That first look blanked me out. She couldn't have changed so little in so manyyears. I did a fast soul-searching soft-shoe. Did she really look the same or was I deluding myself? Nodammit, Fonda hadn't changed. The times had changed. I had sure as hell changed, but she hadn't. She may just as well have been the brown-haired girl that used to run into the ROTC office-usually a little late but always apologetic-15 years ago to type up a roster, give me a few words of encouragement aboutmy dismal drama efforts or to sit and quietly reflect about her future. She looked like the same Jane, andin the few brief moments in which we had to exchange reminiscences, she was. I was in theCommandant of Cadets office for the school's ROTC program. Her brother, Peter, was doing two years of compulsory ROTC duty, and Jane worked with the Angels, a sort of auxiliary to the corps. The Angelsdid a lot of work in planning social events, typing and keeping the men's spirits up. Over the months, Ideveloped more than a casual acquaintance with the two because I liked the way- they gave that extraeffort, the way; they tried honestly to cope with their problems, before yelling "help," and I sup pose-selfishly-the fact they both gave me help, and one hell of a lot of criticism about my hamboneappearances on the Omaha Little Theater stage. They lived with their grandmother in Omaha. It's beensaid many times before that they felt a certain resentment about being in "cowtown" USA, going to anunknown school, while Father Fonda's name blazed in marquees across the country. During quietmoments in the office they spoke of it. Bitter? Aren't all kids-about something? I suppose they were, butthey seemed to be coming to grips with it. I had a lot of kids with a-Jot of problems. The Fondas seemed to have theirs pretty well under control. As Jane and I stood aside from the crowd and she gave thatpersonal added grip to her handshake, she said, "Starbuck, we've both gone a lot of miles since Omaha.I wish you happiness." I knew she hadn't changed. —D. Starbuck Goodwyn PEACE RALLY — DavidHarris, Joan Baez's ex-husband, expresses his views in favor of the peace movement and amnesty for allU.S. war resisters.

The program is a combined effort by Western, BellinghamTechnical School, and Whatcom Community College to provide academic and vocational training, andhousing to prisoners from the state's minimum security prisons. Negotiations between the three schools and the Department of Social and Health Services was recently completed. The signing of the contractis the only formality left before the program can begin, said J. W. Wilkins, Western's representative to the project. Wilkins said the prisoners will be selected by their ability to succeed in the program rather than by the nature of their crime. "Passion murderers have the best prognosis," he added. A good deal ofcaution will be excercised in the selection procedure, he said. Selection is done at the prisons by acommittee made of administrators and counselors. The three local schools will have no voice in theselection process. "We will be at the mercy of the selection board," Wilkins said. However, he added,the schools do have the right of refusal to any convict. The prisoners will be housed at either Fairhaven or Buchanan Towers. Once housed, they will be strictly supervised by a full-time parole officer employedby the state but paid through the program. Supervision, other than academic, will be the responsibility ofthe state, not the schools. The program will be especially strict in the beginning, but gradually theprisoners will be given " more responsibility for their own actions, Wilkins said. They will have stricthours, room checks three times a day, and a 10 p.m. curfew. These restrictions will be eased as theprisoners prove their responsibility and desire to succeed in the program. Successful participation willnot only give the convicts a skill but will also help them in getting paroled early. There will be six to tenmen in the beginning of the program, Wilkins said. Women are included, and if successful the number of participants will increase, he added. Currently there are 40 or more prisoners attending the University ofWashington, Wilkins said, and they have had great success. Western's program is unique in that itinvolves state as well as local school districts, thus providing a variety of training opportunities.Correction: In the Nov. 8 issue of the Western Front, it was incorrectly stated that a forged signature ona dance band contract forced a temporary freeze of the Gay People Alliance's budget.

" \ Computer catches cold "Ah choo, ah choo ... excuse me, I've caught a cold from one of the computers at the computer center." During the break between fall and winter quarters last year, the college cut back on heating to save electricity during the energy shortage, and an IBM 7090 caught a"cold" according to Melvin Davidson, director of Western's computer center in Bond Hall. The change intemperature was more than the computer could take, and it refused to operate. Some of the computer'sparts had to be replaced. Another IBM computer caught "the bug" during the last few weeks of thisquarter and started feeding out strange pieces of information, Davidson said. Fortunately, the computercenter thinks it has found the solution to the computer's problems. The Ampex Memory was probablyplugged into a noisy power line and picked up bad information from it, in computer operators jargon. The computer center recently received some new computer terminal devices which are designed tocommunicate with other computers over telephone lines. Davidson hopes to use a RS 232 amplifierwhich can send messages a few thousand feet, t h u s s i m p l i f y i ng communications within shortdistances of the computer center. Olscamp selection pleases faculty L by O.K. JOHNSON Facultyreactions to the selection of Paul J. Oslcamp as Western's next president are favorable. At a time whenthe faculty and administration have- been divided on issues such as Reduction-In-Force (RIF), collectivebargaining and trustworthyl leadership, a sampling of Western faculty members indicate Olscamp coulddevelop into a unifying force between the college administration and faculty. Faculty salaries, enrollmentstability, collective bargaining, development of a competent administrative staff in addition to givingWestern a sense of direction are major items of importance according to Western faculty members.Clyde Senger, chairman of the biology department, said Olscamp was his top choice. "I think Olscampwill be able to unify the college, especially with (Academic Vice President Jerry) Anderson leaving,"Senger said. "I think the faculty will be able to get behind him, so he'll get his chance to unify, but that'sa hard thing with this faculty." Chemistry department chairman Joseph R. Crook said he would likeOlscamp's number one goal to be improving Western's image with both the legislature and with thegovernor's office. "He sure looks like a good one," Crook said. "I just hope we aren't disappointed withhim a year from now." Howard Mitchell, chairman of the economics and business department, said hewould like to see Olscamp's most important goal as "helping the college get a sense of direction andmission." "It's hard to go beyond that," Mitchell said. "What we need is leadership." "Faculty salarieswould be my first choice," Eunice Faber of the foreign language faculty said. "We should be somewherewithin a reasonable pay scale. We're all looking toward cooperation with a new administration. From allappearances, Olscamp would be working toward this goal." Brian Copenhaver of the general studiesfaculty and a member of the 14-member presidential search committee said the question of unity is acomplex situation. "It's like trying to predict the future," Copenhaver said. "There are certain curricularadministrative jobs that need to be done, and Olscamp can see to it they are done." "The most important overall question Olscamp should be concerned with is trying to give the college a clear notion of whatWestern is for," Copenhaver added. "He can help us all get a clear idea of what Western ought to be."Olscamp, who will assume presidential duties July 1, 1975, named collective bargaining, honesty withstudents and more openness of faculty and students mutual concerns as his most important goals whenhe spoke on campus last month.

"We were so different, no one knew what to do with us," she complained. Western said the Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 grant directors meeting of 114 pilot education projects was marredby a lack of leadership and sense of direction. "We were thrown in with women's groups, prisons and so forth—and we were lost," she said. However, Western said she learned a lot in her discussion withthe other representatives, who ranged from curriculum planners to prison education instructors. Theconference's main thrust was on program evaluation-how to get the word out for other colleges that would want to start similar projects. But she said the discussion's progress was impeded by the members'internal bickering. ' 'They complained about how bad their programs were g o i n g . After all thatcomplaining, I found out that Western must be the greatest (college) in the world," she said. Westernencountered typical frustration at a long-range funding workshop the last day of the conference. "Theydidn't have a leader and not one person in the room knew a thing. We just sat around for several hours ... drinking cocktails." She said the conference ended abruptly with no resolutions for obtaining grants orwriting program evaluations. Although she said she "came away (from the conference) w i t h a greatdeal of e n c o u r a g e m e n t , " Western maintained she "certainly didn't learn anything about theBridge or getting more money."

Western said she was turning to other possible funding sources, includingPresident Charles J. Flora's proposal to include Bridge Project on the College's 1975-76 budget. Shewas skeptical about H.EtW. refunding the project. " T h e y (the federal government) think we're sosuccessful we won't need the grant next year."

CILAlJfilfilED ---------- Western Front - 1974 November 19 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Tuesday, Nov. 19, 1974 Critics anger Anderson Vice President for Academic AffairsJerry Anderson responded angrily to criticism from the foreign language department about his decisionfor reallocating funds within that department earlier this month. Anderson ignored a faculty vote to dividethe money equally throughout the department. At his direction, the extra funds will be divided betweenthe French and German programs only. "I gave them four weeks to reach a viable decision which theyseemingly could not do, so I simply proceeded in accordance with the (court) directive," Anderson said.Asked what he planned to do about the dissention in the foreign language department, Anderson said, Idon't plan to do anything." But he added he might sue Eunice Faber, Spanish faculty, for her criticisms of his decision which she called "fascistic and undemocratic" and for referring to him as a "dictator." "Ifshe doesn't stop monkeying around, I'll have no choice but to file a suit of libel," Anderson said. Thecontroversy arose when Peter A. Eddy, French faculty, and Rudolf Weiss, German, decided to takeleaves of absence without pay in the 1974-75 school term. An out of court settlement of a lawsuit filedlast spring against the college by several faculty members contained directives for reallocating extrafunds within departments affected by the current reduction in force. The directives said Anderson shouldmake the decision following full input from the department. "Nowhere was input defined in terms of avote," Anderson said. "The decision I made took into consideration the best interests of both studentsand the department. The German section took over all of Weiss' classes when he left and it is only fairthat they should receive what would have been his salary," Anderson explained. "The rest of thedepartment really has no claim to these funds. Weiss left only after he had been promised this moneywould be split by the German section," Anderson added. Henrich Brockhaus, German faculty, called the faculty decision to divide the money between all the languages a "sad case of rip off," in a letter to thedepartment head. The faculty plan "suggests to relieve us of the Weiss money without taking theworkload," Brockhaus said. Without the extra money, there would be no funding for German classes byspring quarter and students .intending to graduate this year would have had to return next fall to finishtheir sequences, Brockhaus continued, supporting Anderson's decision. i l l from Crown DistributingCo., Inc. 1204 Railroad 734-6605 TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR WITH SPECIAL GUEST THEMULEDEER AND MOONDOG MEDICINE SHOW FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd 8 pm CARVER GYMALL TICKETS $4.00 Advance tickets: VU Info Desk, Puget Sound Records, The Fairhaven Tavern,Bellingham Sound Center, Music Street in Mt.

Stange, a member of a women's divisionteam, the Dirty Dozen, erupted for five touchdowns to lead her team to its fourth straight win and ahumbling of the Alphfl Aphrodisiacs. Stange's scoring outburst included two touchdown sprints, twoscoring pass receptions and a fifth pointmaker on a runback on one of her two pass interceptions.Stange and the Dozen are one of two remaining unbeaten clubs in the women's loop as the regularseason reaches its final stages. The Kappa Krunchers, at 5-0, are the other unscathed unit. by DICKMILNE The unstoppable scoring efforts of Seattle U's Tim Allen helped the Chieftains ease past theWestern soccer team 6-3 in Northwest league boot play last Saturday at Bloedel Donovan Field. Allenscored four goals for the Chiefs and assisted on two others to put the Viks away. Both -teams started offslowly on the chilly afternoon. Allen quickly broke the ice with two breakaway goals by outracing Vikdefenders to the net and slipping shots past a helpless Western goalkeeper, Kevin Regan. DavoodKhoshnood, Western's leading scorer last year, countered for the Vikings with a first-half goal followingsome fine footwork of his own and the score stood 2-1 at the half. Regan made a tremendous stop of anAllen shot to open the second half, but less than a minute later, Allen broke clear once again and fired apass to Dave Hammer.Hammer rammed the ball past the diving Regan to run the score to 3-1. Therelentless Allen got another assist when Dan Van Gebber converted an Allen pass to make the score 4-1 as the rain and the Viks began to fall. Several Western drives into SU territory failed to produce andAllen broke away for yet another SU goal. Henry Sommers finally countered for Western with a secondhalf goal to slice the SU lead. Following another diving stop by Regan, winger Dave Rheinhardt addedanother Viking goal to further close the gap and put Western back in the ball game. The Vikingsimmediately drove' into SU territory again but captain David Hansen narrowly missed the tying goal. Thennemesis Allen scored again on one of his patented breakaways, as the sun came out and time ran out.The loss left Western's record at 2 wins, 4 losses and 2 ties with one league game left to play. "Ourrecord's not that important," Hansen countered. "We had a hell of a lot of fun out there and that's whatcounts." "V '+ gt; STARTS TOMORROW!

The spirits were high after the game. Coach Boyde Long commented, "It's been close allyear and we finally made it. That last drive of ours was as fine as any I've ever seen here at Western. Itcame at a time when we really needed it." "This last game is a good indication of things to come," Viklinebacker Bob Taylor proclaimed. "This has been a rebuilding year for us and next year will show it."Mike Haerling echoed Taylor's feelings, "Winning the last game is a good start for next year." "I'm sorrywe didn't win more," apologized graduating guard Brett Bennett. Tom Luehmann, also graduating, hadmixed feelings about the last game, "I'm both sorry and glad it's all over." Running back Vanderyachtmaintained, "I've always felt we had a good team. After losing seven games, I wasn't nervous at all aboutwinning." Defender Dave Nedved chimed in, "Next year, we should put it all together and have a fantastic season." The game proved to be a thrilling contest right down to the last second of the game. Westernkicked off to SOC to open the game and got the ball back when Chuck Houser intercepted a pass on theViks' 46-yard line.

Dennis Shields ran in from thefour to score for the Red Raiders. Three tough defensive efforts on second half SOC drives keptWestern's hopes alive. The Viks stopped the Raiders with a goal line stand on the one yard line after theRaiders had driven from their own 32. Western took over but had to punt as the fourth quarter began. But the Raiders brought the ball back down to the Vik 23 where Luehmann picked it off in the end zone tostop them again. The Viks got the ball on the 20 but coughed it up when Webber intercepted for SOC.SOC moved the ball to the Vik 22 but lost it on a fumble to Nedved. With 9:30 left in the game, Westernmounted the winning attack, starting from their 16. They drove to the SOC 24 where a key play on thirdand four stood between them and a needed first down. Bill Mendelson walked to the line and startedcalling signals. The senior signal caller then cleverly got the Raiders to jump offside. That gave Western a first down and led to Barney Thompson's game winning romp into the end zone from four yards out. Only 1:56 was left on the clock. . Then came the thrilling finish. SOC tried to move the ball, but Luehmannpicked off his second interception of the night and returned the ball 20 yards with only 52 secondsremaining. The game seemed over as Western had possession of the ball. By putting their time outs togood use, SOC was able to hold the Viks for four downs and get the ball back. With only 20 -seconds left in the game, they threw two screen passes and then hit a receiver down the middle of the field wholooked as though he might go all the way but was caught by a game-saving tackle by Nedved.

Western's football budgethas been insufficient to keep a coaching staff intact over the last few years. Assistant coaches aresimply not paid enough to warrant their stay at Western. Head coach Boyde Long reiterates thatadministrative scheduling of department personnel will not allow him to have a coaches' meeting beforepractices to coordinate drills and coaching assignments. Coaching of the team is seriously retarded,because, as much time has to be devoted to coaching the coaches, as coaching the team. T h e r e are no heavy scholarships to lure prospective athletes to this school. Therefore the responsibility ofmaintaining a decent program falls directly on the attitudes a n d in t e r e s t of the administration, thecoordinated •abilities of the coaching staff, and to a lesser degree, the support of the community andstudent body, if football is to succeed at Western. If a more responsible attitude cannot be -generatedtoward the maintenance of a respectable program, Western football should be aborted in the sameinterests that reflect the abortion of an unwanted child. — Keith Olson ITEAR MAIL FREE!

Vol. XII. November, 1912 No. 2 ORTA il The second number of THE MESSENGER makes its bow to the schppl world. A new plan is being tried this year, by which the Editorial Staff changes every month. This arrangement gives a larger number experience in newspaper work and the burden does not fall so heavily upon a few. The plans and successes of this paper are due to the effi­ciency of our Editor-in-Ghief, Miss Maud Gamble, who was called from her work §0 suddenly by death. The fjrst number of pur Lecture Course was preseiited to a . large and appreciative audience. We/as students of the B. S. N. ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE MESSENGER. S., wish to extend a vote of thanks to the Lecture Course Com­mittee for their efforts. There are more excellent numbers com­ing and those who do not take advantage of them will regret it. We have just passed thro a very exciting campaign, that of election. Very few of our students enjoyed the privilege of vot­ing, but we knew how it was coming, as our straw vote showed us how the majority of people would vote. Let us congratulate Messrs. Wilson and Marshall for their success and wish them a prosperous term. Thanksgiving is coming and we have much to be thankful for. With great pleasure we are looking forward to our first trip home. Many of us have never been away before, and this may have seemed a long time, but every one has tried his best to make it so pleasant that we really have enjoyed our work. We can go home with happy hearts and enjoy a vacation, be­cause our first term has been successful and the home-folk will be proud. This will inspire us to make the coming quarter stronger than the first, as we have learned what is wanted and the fear and dread of examinations are over. The Editorial Staff wishes both Students and Faculty a restful recess and a nice, juicy piece of turkey for dinner. A STUDENT'S THANKSGIVING SENTIMENTS. We thank Thee, dear Father, with hearts glad and free, For the coming vacation, given to us by Thee; For the kind, loving teachers we meet every day; Make them relish the turkey, dear Father, we pray. : 1 _. We thank Thee for blessings the whole year around, And that our '[school grades" haven't quite reached the ground; And our thanks shall be fuller; our minds without care, 'Cause our great Mr. Wilson get to sit in the "Chair." Mr. Epley is always ready to entertain the students witn mountain pictures, of which he has a splendid collection. On November eighteenth, he took us on a trip to Mt. Baker, describ­ing various vacation experiences, which were thoroughly en­joyed by all. ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page [3] ---------- jftt gjEtemortam MAUDE GAMBLE. On November seventh, Miss Maude Gamble, a member of the Mid-Year graduation class passed into the Great Beyond, after an illness of only a few days. To those whose fortune it was to know this win­some, sunny-haired girl, her untimely death came as a personal loss and grief. Conscientious, tender-hearted, studious, woman­ly, with the highest of ideals and a strong sense of honor, Maude represented the best of young woman­hood, and her memory will linger with us as the scent of the rose lingers after the blossom has gone. The Senior Class mourns the loss of one of its strongest members. Coming to our School to complete her work for graduation in January, she has been suddenly called for graduation from all earthly tasks. Illness came, crushing her life out in one short day. How empty her place is I Although Miss Gamble came at the opening of the year a stranger to most of us, her talents, her energy, her thought fulness, her gentleness, her modesty, won her a place in the activities of school life, and in the hearts of very many students. Although frail, and sometimes suffering intensely, she did not complain, but went about her work cheer­fully, calmly serene, with faith in God, as one who believed, "My bark is wafted to the shore by breath divine,. And at the helm rests hand other than mine/' Our Y. W. C. A. has lost a faithful worker,—a true, Christian friend. ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 THH MBSSHNGHR THE NEW MOTHER. The Boy Who Might Not Walk looked oiit of the window, tt was raining. Even the Blue Gingham Lady had left hint; and tomorrow was Thanksgiving. How could she have left him? She had said it was "very important"; but that did not lessen the ache in his head. Of course his father would be home, but with him was coming the—New Mother. The house­keeper had read the letter to him only that morning: "Laddie, I'm bringing you home a new mother for Thanksgiving." Well, he didn't want her. What would she know about the Littlest Fairy, or the Wickedest Giant? He wanted to hear that story again—right now. He wanted a drink of water; he wanted his pillow smoothed out; he wanted,—yes, that was it, —he wanted the Blue Gingham Lady. His bed was all mountains and valleys. The top-cover dragged on the floor. The bottom sheet was pulled loose at the end. The light through the window hurt his eyes; but, worse than all, the trap-door in his throat was shut so tight he couldn't swallow. The Biue Gingham Lady had always smoothed things out since the Little Mother went away. She always kiiew whether the light would hurt his eyes Or not; She knew, withbut being told, whether he wanted to hear about the Wickedest Giant or the Little Mother. And, now, the New Mother would come, and maybe tell him stories about,—yes, probably about Indians, and he didn't like Indian stories. She wouldn't know it, though, and he would have to hear about fierce savages with bloody scalps at their belts; not that he was afraid of Indians. He wouldn't admit that, even to himself; but the mere mention of one gave him an uncomfortable feeling. The Blue Gingham Lady seldom told film Indian stories, and then only when he was held tight in her arms, before the bright fire. And what was the use of talking of Indians* anyway, when there was the Littlest Fairy right before them in the fire? Then, too, the New Mother would eat in the big dining-rodm %ith his father, when he was there, or when he was off on a **Big ckseV* she would eat thefe alone, tie would eat in his 8Wn ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 5 ---------- THE MESSENGER g room. She might even object to Don's eating there. "But, anyway, you're going to eat here to-night, old fellow," he promised. "Thank you!" thumped the black, stumpy tail. Thinking of eating brought him around to the starting point again: to-morrow was Thanksgiving. "Tliere'll probably be turkey," he said to the black, curly dog. "Yes," wagged the stump tail; "there probably will." "And," continued the Boy, "I just love drum-sticks, don't you, Don?" "I always was fond of them," answered the black tail. "She prob'ly won't know who the Wickedest Giant was," went on the Boy. "Still, she might," wagged the stump. "She'll have awful straight hair," persisted the Boy (the Blue Gingham Lady had curly hair(, "and she'll be afraid she'll wrinkle her dress." (The Blue Gingham Lady wore such comfortable, pretty dresses. He had liked her trim apron and neat white cap, even when he was too ill to notice much about him. That was before it was quite settled that he was the Boy Who Might Not Walk.) "I know just how it'll be, Don," the Boy said. "She'll come over to the bed with father, and she'll say, 'So this is Richard is it?' and I'll -be very polite to her. Don't you remember the Little Mother said it was always best to be polite to folks, even if you didn't like them much? She didn't say New Mothers, but I think she meant New Mothers. So I'll say, 'I'm very glad to meet you; I'm sure I shall like you.' What if she should kiss me? I wouldn't.—but I won't worry about that, I don't sup­pose she will." Somehow the day wore away, and night came on. The housekeeper lighted a fire for them, and they had a very pleas­ant little meal, with lively conversation on the part of the Bay and a vigorous thumping of the tail on the part of the other. Finally the fire died down, leaving only the glowing embers. The Boy's head nodded; the black tail thumped more feebly. "Don," said the Boy, drowsily, looking into the fire, "see the—Littlest Fairy—by the gate—dragon—Wickedest—" * * * * • • * -. With the help of the Littlest Fairy he had just slain the two-headed dragon and was wiping off his sword, when some­one took him by the shoulder very gently, then lifted him up bodily. He knew before he opened his eyes that it was his father, for he held the Boy close against him and said, over and over, "Laddie! Laddie 1" There was no thought then of the New Mother, but only of his father,—his great, strong father who ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 THE MESSENGER was holding him tight and saying over and over, "Laddie! Lad­die!" Finally his father said: "Here's the New Mother, Laddie!" The Boy took his head from the broad shoulder, and held out ;a ^epiSe little hand to—but who?—it wasn't?—it-was!—it was the Blue Gingham Lady! . . * * * * * After his father had the fire crackling again, and the Boy was seated on the lap of the Blue Gingham Lady, she said: "What day's tomorrow, Laddie?" "Thanksgiving," promptly answered the Boy, "and there'll be turkey!" "There surely will," asserted the Blue Gingham Lady. "Glad to hear it," wagged the tail. "And Don may have a drum-stick?" pleaded the Boy. "Don may have a drum-stick," she promised. "Thank you," thumped the black tail; "I shall be de­lighted !" '13. JUST USE THE BULLETIN BOARD.

SHELDON'S ADDRESS. A vast amount of our education is gained by personal con­tact with others. As Tennyson says, "I am a part of all I have met." The students of the Normal had the opportunity, last month, of meeting and hearing one of the world's great men. A man who is alive to "the need of a world of men;" who ap­proaches his subject, not as a speculating theorist, but as a war­rior in the actual battle, covered with the dust and the smoke of the conflict, exerting his titanic energies in uplifting the con­ditions of humanity. A man whose heart has bled with the bleeding heart of the people, felt the pulse throb of all classes, and placed himself in the attitude of a brother and helper of mankind. The entire Assembly listened with close attention for nearly an hour, as Charles M. Sheldon, author of "In His Steps," spoke on the subject, "The Results of a True Education." He first spoke of our wonderful individuality. "In all the ages there never has been and never will be a manor a woman just like me. I am unique. I have no double." He enforced this truth by speaking of the imprint of the finger used by de­tectives to identify criminals, since there are no two finger­prints alike, there has never been a mistake in this kind of iden­tification. Each, too, has his own individual voice. "God is never forced to duplicate himself. Each life is a fresh expres­sion. If God took such infinite pains with my body, what cart should I take of my soul?" He emphasized its possibility of development by showing that all of the two hundred and fifty-six distinct colors differentiated by chemists are obtainable from the blacky sticky coal tar. He then summed up the results of a true education on our individuality—the first of which is Humility. As the student progresses in the realm of knowledge be begins to realize the immensity of what he does not know until he can never look down on any one else as ignorant or commonplace. The second effect he gave as clear ideals. Education should give a right definition of things divining good from evil. The future of the world depends on the educated man. If you want to elevate humanity you must have a clear ideal, A truly edu­cated- man will never do a mean thing. ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 THE MESSENGER ThtV third result is purity of life and character. TKede-mahd to-day is for clean lives, clean brains, clean bodies; we must avoid the things that dissipate energy. "No one should consider himself an educated gentleman who uses either liquor or tobacco. * * * * * If v/e want to keep the mind in trim to do its. work we must keep our bodies clean." The fourth effect is a great love of hard work. That is what we are placed here for. "We should go to it as we would a meal." He illustrated this point by relating an incident of his college life. He went to his Professor of Hebrew, and told him that he had spent eight hours on the lesson and could not get it. The Professor looked at him and smilingly said: "the trou­ble is you did not spend sixteen." Fifth, we should do all we can to advance the universal brotherhood of man. A scholar should be a social-democrat. He should be a lover of all kinds of men and do all he can for the advancement of universal peace. Sixth, we should have a religious foundation. Culture, alone, cannot save the world; it needs help—learning wedded to religion. We should look up to God as much as we look down through the miscroscope. We are here for something definite; not play, but work. "There is no commonplace in man. * * * We are all great people in possibility." In style Dr. Sheldon is not oratorical, yet truly eloquent; not philosophical, let profound; interesting and inspiring. F. D. HELM. Our Friday morning Assemblies give an interesting as well as an instructive hour's rest from the regular school routine of the week. One morning Mr. Preston W. Search spoke on the proper appreciation of great musical masterpieces, especially Wag­nerian operas. His vivid description of parts of the opera, Tannhauser, not only gave one a fuller realization of the beauty beauty of the theme itself, but gave the music a richer mean­ing and more than one student expressed an earnest desire to see the whole opera. Mr. Search tours the country lecturing on musical arid his­torical subjects, and we hope the Normal may have the oppor­tunity of hearing him again. . On December twelfth, his son, Mr. Frederick Preston , Search, will give a 'cello recitalin the Auditorium. Mr. W. D. Hulbert, of Seattle, presented a most remitfkaiBle collection of stereopticon views of Alaska, at the Friday 'morn- ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 9 ---------- THE MBSSBNGER 9 ing Assembly, October eighteenth. So clear were most of the pictures that the land of ice and snow seemed almost present. Mr. Hulbert's explanatory talk was also very interesting, and showed a thorough familiarity with the regions described. The Students' Musical Recital on October twenty-fifth was also one of the enjoyable Assemblies. The program was given by Normal students and pupils of Mrs. Engberg, each one of whom might be mentioned as contributing a very pleasing number. Invitations are out for the annual membership banquet of the Y. W. C. A., to be given at Edens Hall, Friday evening, November twenty-second. Among those on the program for toasts are: Miss Abbie Johnson, a former President of the As­sociation; Miss Springer, Dr. Mathes and Rev. Landen. The girls are looking forward to the banquet as the most enjoyable social event of the year. SENIOR RECEPTION. The Senior Class held its annual reception on the evening of October eighteenth, nineteen-twelve, in Society Hall. The decorations, composed of maple leaves, Oregon grape and Japa­nese lanterns, combined with festoons of olive green and gold crepe paper, gave td the room the appearance of a woodland bower. Here a program of unusual excellence afforded pleas­ant entertainment for the assembled guests. In the refresh­ment room the class colors also formed the basis for the color-scheme. Golden-hued chrysaritnemums; and ferns were used in profusion about to room to further the effect of the scheme. Dainty refreslimehts of orange ind wafers were served buffed style, at the close of the evening, after which the guests depart­ed, voting the evening a pleasant one,,and extending their good wishes and praise to the Class of 1913. , ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 10 ---------- 'io THE MESSENGER EDENS' HALL GIRLS ENTERTAIN THE FACULTY. On Friday evening, November first, the Edens Hall girls"en-tertained the Faculty at a Hallowe'en party. Everything, from the invitations to the last stunt of the evening, was unique and well-planned. When the guests arrived they were met at the door by a ghost and two witches, who, after giving them the low and high shake, conducted them to a room to relieve them of their wraps* The whole atmosphere suggested Hallowe'en. Pumpkins shone from every corner, and black cats gleamed from the dark corners of the rooms. The parlors were a mass of Autumn leaves and a bright fire blazed from an improvised fire-place. The "stunts" were the main feature of the evening, and every one seemed to feel that his future was ruled by ghosts and goblins. The fish-pond was a great attraction for fishing for a portrait of your future husband or wife is not an every­day happening. After a ghost-walk from the garret to the cellar of the hall, all assembled in the dining-room. Dainty refreshments were served in this room, during which time Miss Drake and Mr. Geberoff entertained the guests by bobbing for doughnuts. On Friday evening, October twenty-fifth, the girls residing at Edens Hall gave a very informal reception in honor of our football boys. A little impromptu program was rendered, after which all adjourned to the dining-room, where light and dainty refreshments were served, Miss Baxter acting as toastmistress, toasts being responded to by the following: Dr. Turner, Capt. Wallace Sutherland, Manager Tucker, Quarterback Wilson. Besides. these, the boys present were: Ester Carver, Ross Wil­son, J. C. Hawkins, Glen Hill, Clarence Dahlquist, Gerald Som-er, Martin Olsen, Connie Ingham and the Coach. NORMAL HIGH SCHOOL HALLOWE'EN PARTY. The members of the Swastika and Delphian Literary Socie­ties of the Normal High School, gave a Hallowe'en party Friday evening, November first, in Society Hall. The decorations were in keeping with the day, yellow pumpkins/Autunin leaves, etc., were used most effectively. ^Fortune tellers were numerous in gypsy costume, and these ever" interestingpeople told the past, present and future of those present with unerring (?) accuracy.

At 714 Garden Street, occurred one of the j oiliest of Hal­lowe'en affairs, when Misses Nordeen, Gibboney, DeLong, Car­son, Malone and Davis entertained a few friends in a most de­lightful manner. -'- The hall and parlor were decorated with jack-b'-lanterns;' Autumn leaves and yellow crepe paper. Here a ghost presided' over the destiny of the guests in true Hallowe'en style. . ' During the forepart of the evening, games were played arid then ghost stories told by guests, by the dim light of the candies;; At the close of the evening refreshments were served, each guest receiving a place-card and menu.

Mrs. Jones gave some interesting items of the work in China, and an invitation was extended to the girls to join one of the mission study classes. The following week the subject was Conference Echoes, which was in charge of the three delegates, Lola Smith, Dorothy Hughes, and Ethel Scheidemantel, who attended the confer­ence at Gearhart Park last summer. Interesting talks were given oil the benegts received, leaders and recreation of the con­ference. The last meeting of the month was a devotional serv­ice, led by Mrs. Gebaroff, who gave an inspiring talk to the girls. We were favored at this meeting with two special numbers of music. November seventh, the meeting was held especially for new members. Words of welcome were given by the President, fol­lowed by a message from Miss Sperry.

Who but future, good Alka-siahs could live up to the promises extracted that evening? Miss Dawson found her ideal, tho rather a lanky one.

SWASTIKA LITERARY SOCIETY. The Swastika Literary Society consists of the boys of the Normal High School. We are probably the youngest society, and have the youngest membership of any organization in School. We meet every Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The programs are literary and parliamentary, the two alternat­ing. Our aim is to train the young men in public speaking and the use of parliamentary law. The Society will soon enlarge the scope of its work, probably taking up debating. In the few meetings we have already had it has been proven that there are some very able members. Frank Herrmann;de­livered a very able and interesting lecture on Alaska and its resources. He also had quite a number of specimens ,to illus­trate his talk. All who heard it will agree that Mr. Herrmann will surely be heard from in the future as a speaker of force and ability. We have musicians and singers that will certainly startle the world some day. The way Paul Thompson delivers the goods is not what can be called slow, by any means. Ken­neth Tunstall is very rapidly taking his place as a reader. Some of his deliveries have a side-splitting effect. Even we, who are accustomed to the best, are often seriously affected. The dignity with which our officers and members conduct meetings and parliamentary .drill would put the Sixty-First Congress in the dark. We intend to work hard to make our Society the very best, in the School. ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 THE MESSENGER rOW-K, Miss Frankie Sullivan, '06, spent the winters of 1909-10-11 in New York City, studying at the Institute of Musical Art.

We are looked upon with awe by the green Freshie; with genuine seriousness by the ever-wise Sophomore, and with just a bit of jealousy by the "Knowing" Junior. Here's to you, dignified and mighty Seniors! I ! Our first social event dame in the form of a reception to the School and Faculty, with the Juniors as our special guests. You all heard how their unique invitation was presented, and what a huge success the reception was. A detailed account of. it will be found in the "Society Notes." Hurrah for the Senior basketball girls! They are practic­ing hard and faithfully and every Monday evening may be seen in the gym, going thru their scrimmaging under the direction of our very capable coach, Mr. William Tucker. Needless to say, he will put out a winning team. The Senior Class has adopted this as its latest slogan: The Senior Class has a basketball team, And they are never going to be beat, Strong and quick, to all they seem, And they shall never know defeat. We, of the Senior Class, are very sorry to lose one of our most popular and loyal class workers, who was called home on account of her mother's illness, and we are all loking forward and hoping for a speedy recovery, so that we may once more see Mary Sharkey's bright and beaming face in our midst. ; During the past month a number of our fair damsels took their departure for "Home, Sweet Home." Miss Marion John­son, Miss Grace Barnes and Miss Lois Te Roller went to Seattle and, needless to say, they spent a happy week-end. The Juniors have been so busy trying to make the Junior Class rank first in scholarship as well as in athletics, that there has been very little time for anything but hard study this month. However, committees have been appointed to bring in sugges­tions for the class, yell and class song and class colors. JOSEPHINE LOVELY. ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 18 ---------- 18 THE MBSSBNGMR. SGPMomeRe COLORS—Orange and Black. On October eleventh, Miss Eggers entertained the members of the Sophomore Class at her home, which was beautifully dec­orated with autumn leaves. The evening was spent in playing interesting games of vari­ous kinds, singing college songs, and then partaking of delicious refreshments, which consisted of sandwiches, cake, coffee and fruit. At a late hour the party broke up after giving three hearty cheers for the hostess. Arrangements are being made for the basketball team. FRESHMAN On Friday night, October 26, the Freshmen had a party in Society Hall. Everyone had a rousing good time playing old games, and, oh! you eats. Mr. Ingman, our Treasurer, shows great ability in collecting class dues. The Freshmen found that purple and gold were not desir­able colors; so they have adopted cardinal and gray. The girls of our class have been turning out at least two teams for basketball every Thursday at 4:10. Our team will get the Kline Cup this year, without a doubt. The President wishes to urge all Freshmen to come to class meetings. HIGH SCHOOL. The members of the Tenth Grade are planning to give a play some time before the Christmas vacation. A committee has been appointed to consult Miss Hays, who drilled the High School last year, in rehearing their play, and To look up suitable material. AH those who attended the entertainment last year know it was very successful, both in the crowd it drew and in the way in which it was carried out. However, we hope to be very much more successful in this, which will be the second play given by the High School than we were in the first, as it is to be given by the Tenth Grade, and by only those who are up in all their work and can spare considerable time in rehearsing. A basketball game was played in the Normal gym. on the evening of November sixth, between our boys and the Sopho­more Class of the South Side High School, Our team consisted ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 19 ---------- THE MESSENGHR 19 of four Ninth graders and one Tenth. Worthy Rudolph Knaack refereed the game. The score was 30 to 9 in our favor. As yet we have no regular team, but we do have some goo,d material, so we have good hopes of putting out two and possibly three good teams. Ofttimes we hear, in the breezes, people saying that weight doesn't count in football, but if those veterans of college sports had been present at the fair grounds, Saturday, October twenty-sixth, their cerebrums would have taken a sudden shift and would have realized that "beef" is more than half the story. It was a sad, sad story; but it is glory to relate that we have a team, although fighting at odds, show a gameness only ex­hibited by B. S. N. S. and wildcats. We can fight in football, can't we, Wilson? The game was full of brilliant plays and spectacular work on both sides. P. S. U. played straight football, using mostly bucks and line plunges. Well, why shouldn't they? They had the weight and speed! When evening shadows drew near, the players left the field with P. S. U. 29, B. S. N. S. 6. I must tell about the six. Knaack, who played right end, grabbed a for­ward pass the last three minutes of play, running thirty yards for a touchdown. Knaack substituted for Hanley, in the fourth quarter. With Hanley and Carver as ends, it was a work of art for P. S. U. to net substantial gains on end runs. Sam and Dick deserve an olive wreath. They were everywhere but on the side lines, rooting. We have a tackling pair who are fighters and fought till the game was called. Many times Dahlquist and Monks broke thru and would get their man. They did stellar work. Jones and Ingman played well at guard, both hurling their bodies against the P. S. U. onset and breaking bones and inter­ference. Guy Noyes, our midget center, was on the game at all times, and was busy with "bear hug" tackling. When Guy hit, why something fell. Wilson we know of as superb in management and many times, pulled his team out of a bad situation. He made many brilliant throws on forward pass; Tub mustn't strike lit­tle guys like McQuarrie. Wallie and Curly at halves were in the game. ,Wallie was not at all particular how he tackled his University friends. ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 20 ---------- no THE MESSENGER When he hit them they"would come in.contact with Mother Earth in such a way that she was saluted many times by a groan. Curly sure hit the line hard and bucked well. "Tiny" Johnson, our new fullback, played an excellent game. Johnson uses his head. He surely is an addition. He made gains by hitting the line hard. All in all, as the story runs, it was worth the money. Hooray for Turner! .

So did the Normal football iteam when we played Ferndale Saturday, November 2. We mustn't got too confident of winning, for it took quite a few moments of playing before B. S. N. S. "found herself" Saturday. Many times the country boys opened the eyes of our team by gaining twenty-five to thirty yards on trick plays. But, after A, the team realized their situation and played the old Normal game of football, and shoved over 26 points to Ferndale Hugh's fG. Ferndale High was at its best, Saturday, and it is evident that they have a team competent of winning the County cham­pionship. We are glad of another scalp at our belt and look for more; so on with rigid practice, boys, for Thanksgiving.

With our two veterans, Tucker and Carver, we have a "duet" rarely excelled on gym. floors. Hanley, Monks and Johnson, from the "Flat lajids," are veterans of High School championships, and their' addition means glory for us. Dahlquist, Riley, Smith and other promising men, donned gym. suits. Dahlquist and Riley, we know are veterans worthy of any team; Smith arid Arnold show promise of .first-class material. With Sam Carver's manage­ment we know our financial matters are ended. No Captain has been elected. The girls are busy as bees in the game. Nothing is more interesting than the inter-class games amongst the girls. They are slowly nearing perfection. Wait and see the winners. We surely appreciate the spirit shown by Pelegren and Marthij local clothiers, in presenting the Normal football men with such nifty pennants. Surely they deserve our patronage if any one does. - ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page 23 ---------- THE MHSSBNGMR 23 Heard in Psychology Class.

We are always interested in what other schools are doing, in different branches of work. This interest is kept alive by the exchanges we receive. At present we have received The Southwest Standard, from Springfield, Mo.; The College Breezes, from North Yakima, Wn.; The Review, from McMinnville, Oregon; The Tamahnawus from Kelso, Washington; and The Kodak from Everett, Wash­ington. The Review is full of good things, but we would like to see something about boys' athletics. The Wigwam has a very attractive cover, and the depart* ment "School News" shows that things in the school are mov-. ing at a rapid rate. You have a fine football schedule. The Megaphone tells us that Davenport is going hard after debate. We wish you all success. We see by The Kodak that Everett is doing things, espe­cially in football. The Tamahnawus has several good stories and shows that Kelso is well up in the literary line. We are sorry to see that DeKalb is losing out in football We hope that next month will show a reversal of things. The College Breezes is true to i t s name. It is a breezy lit­tle paper. We would like to see more doing in athletics; a foot­ball schedule, for instance. ---------- Messenger - 1912 November - Page [ix] ---------- OLIVES LARGE SPANISH QUEEN, RIPE CELERY STUFFED ' PEPPER STUFFED ALMOND STUFFED OLIVE STUFFED TRUFFLE STUFFED MINCED EVERYTHING IN PURE FOODS Wilson Nobles Barr Co.

VISIT OF SCHOOL Last Friday, the Normal School was extremely fortunate in having as vis­itors pur State Superintendent of Pub­lic Instruction, Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, and her deputy, Mrs. Addie E. Dickinson. They •came, at the invi­tation of Dr. Nash, to explain to us some of the details of the new certifi­cation law and to urge us not to begin teaching until we are fully prepared. After assembly Mrs. Dickinson re­ceived those who had individual prob­lems, in Dr. Nash's office. It was after lunch time before Mrs. Dickin­son was able to get away. Mrs. Preston and Mrs. Dickinson were much surprised to find here at Normal several very dear friends, and these friends, were delighted to have the opportunity of a little visit. Zel-ma and Lenore Roach, Martha Bald­win, Mrs. Nellie A. Pugh and M. F. Pugh are the Normal School members of Mrs. Preston's and Mrs. Dickinson's "family." Although our visitors were not able to be with us very long, we are cer­tainly glad to have had them as long as we did, and to have heard the mes­sage they brought. Through the Mes­senger the school expresses the hope that Mrs. Preston and Mrs. Dickinson may visit us again before long. MR. THOMPSON TALKS ON THRIFT STAMPS On Friday, Mr. Howard Thompson, representing the county in the War Savings Stamp campaign urged the necessity of everyone pledging them­selves to save and purchase as many War Savings Stamps as possible. The government brought this campaign to a close June 28th in order to deter­mine how much revenue must now be raised from other sources. We are very glad to hear from Dr. Nash, in this letter just received: Prosser, June 26, 1918. Dear Ones at Home: We have been absent from Belling-ham only three days, but railway train and trusty auto have transported us far from the home base. We had expected to spend our first night on' of Seattle at Ellensburg, but were so late in starting that we stopped rath­er at Cle Elum. On the way we en­joyed greatly the ride over smooth pavement from the heart of Seattle, through Bothell to Redmond. Before entering the famed Snoqualmie Pass, we gazed in wonder and admiration for a time at Snoqualmie Falls. A plunge of 250 feet breaks the water into marvelous banks of spray, and the rising mist dampens your face as you look. Twin Falls, crashing down between narrow walls of rock, also commanded our attention. I cannot take time to describe the wonders of our journey and shall speak merely of a few personal experiences along the way. At Cle Elum it was my pleasure to meet R. Ernest Tucker, the efficient Normal son, who is serv­ing as manual training teacher in the schools of Snohomish. Mr. Tucker is "doing his bit" for his country this summer but will be back in Belling­ham to finish, next summer. You know the make-up of our party—Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Swift and Mrs. Nash are the other three of the quartet. We are traveling in the Swifts' Dodge car and are taking turns at the wheel. Yesterday morn­ing we stopped for a brief word with President Black at Ellensburg; later we dined at the beautiful Commercial Hotel, Yakima; and still later visited friends in Sawyer, Mabton and Grandview. At Sawyer we met a charming young lady who informed us that she would enroll in the Nor­mal at Bellingham in September, while at Grandview the editor of the Herald proved to be a dear friend of boyhood days. All along the Yakima valley we be­held fruit trees laden with fruit— cherries, luscious and abundant. We are about to start for Kenne-wick, Walla Walla and Dayton. In Dayton we hope to salute our good friends, the Dumas family. I must now don my duster and "take to the road," Very best wishes to all Normalites. Sincerely yours, G. W. NASH. Dr. Nash, has received a card, an­nouncing the safe arrival overseas of Ben W. Tidball, who was in training at Camp Jackson. Y STATES It is interesting to note in the growth of the Normal School how far our fame reaches over the country. This Summer School includes in its attendance teachers of experience from as far east as Washington, D. C, as far north as Alaska, and as far south as California.

Bond and family take this means of expressing their thanks for the expressions of kindness extended them by the students and faculty of the Normal School during' the: past two weeks. Get the thrift-habit through buying War Savings Stamps and help pro­vide the sinews of war winning. TO Chautauqua, which will open in Bell­ingham on July 6 and continue for seven days, will bring us a program of entertainment which should not be missed. To open we will have the Old Sol­dier Fiddlers under the personal di­rection of Col. A. Pattee, two of the Old Boys in blue and two in gray. They have a wonderful program of war time, camp fire stories and songs —a program that makes the blood tingle. Music on the second day is built around Fenwick Newell, the splendid American tenor. Mr. Newell is sup­ported by a capable company land will, we believe, give one of the most thoroughly satisfactory programs of the entire week. On the third night we will have a splendid departure, in a company of talented players in several one-act plays; short dramas from the pens of the greatest dramatists of our allies. This evening is in itself a liberal edu­cation. At the very last moment this spring the Ellison-White Co. was able to se- Continued on page eight LIBRARY HAS BOOKS ON MANY SUBJECTS Is History your delight? Art? Lit­erature? Or Science? The Normal library has some excel­lent material on the history of the northwest from earliest times to the present day. This matter is authen­tic and valuable as it contains many early books and journals in the orig­inal— some of them being over two hundred years old. Of course this material is kept in a locked case. The art section has many beauti­fully illustrated books which show the development of art and the influ­ence of the different countries upon it. The plates and reproductions of masterpieces in these books are es­pecially good. This class number is 750. Special attention has been paid also to literature. It has a splendid array of books on the historical develop­ment of literature; also a good repre­sentation of the different forms, such: as: Drama, poetry, essays, and fic­tion. The modern drama is especially strong, also present-day poetry. The Bellingham Normal has always been proud of the number of up-to-date, formal, scientific books in its library, and now this year there has been added a great many new prac­tical books on birds, insects, trees, nature study, landscape and veget-table gardening, and agriculture. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1918 June 29 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1918 Ida Agnes Baker, Head of Nature Study Department The exhibition flower bed, planted anh cultivated by the Nature Study classes, under the able direction of Miss Baker, presents a picture of riotous floral beauty which is a pleasant relief to the tired eyes of students and faculty when passing on their way home from the day's work. It is located on the northeastern edge of the cam­pus and is worth visit from any lover of flowers. TENNIS TOURNAMENT Foe the past two weeks, tennis has been absorbing a great deal of interest in the school life. On every hand, racquets and tennis balls are seen in profusion. A great many of the play­ers are anxiously waiting the oppor­tunity to display their ability and wares, and to win this year's honors while the fans are also anxious to see who will be this year's •chlampion. The date for the tournament, which is an annual event, has not been defin­itely set but it will not be long after the Fourth of July. Meanwhile, the players are rounding into proper shape, fortifying their weak points and practicing their good • ones. Among the men it is hard to even make a .guess as to the winner, as there are several whio stand good chances, including Mr. Van Horn, last year's champion. So far there are 12 signed up for the event which prom­ises to be of unusual interest, and in­dications point that more will follow. There will also be mixed doubles, which bid fair to be one of the out­standing features of the tournament. Those who have not as yet signed up should do so at once. MISS BEARDSLEY FINDS BERKELEY INTERESTING •Berkeley, Ca. Dear Mrs. Snyder: Many thanks for your cheery little note and the glimpse it gave me of the school life. How splendid that we are having so fine an attendance this summer! The heat on the train Sunday and Monday was dreadful. The car was crowded, of course, but my seat com­panions were two very pleasant girls going from Portland to their home in Los Angeles. I went to the same ho­tel in San Francisco with! another Portland lady enroute for Los Ange­les and spent one and one-half days visiting French and Spanish classes in city schools. Since coming to Berkeley I have come in touch with two families whom I knew years ago while a student in the University of Colorado. Isn't it funny how people turn up? Both have sons in the avi­ation. As I was coming home from dinner, some one called me. It was one of the Aberdeen, S. D. girls. Her husband is here in aviation school. So it goes. Yesterday was registration at the university. The lower hall was blocked. The stairs leading to the Registrar's office were roped off, only a few being admitted at a time. I got up at last. Last night's paper reported 3200 registered. First one must send in an application blank to be passed on before one is allowed to register. These are supposed to be in by June 5th, although of course mine wasn't. However, I found it ap­proved and my registration card only awaiting my $15.00 fee. Berkeley is a beautiful city. It has Montague McHugh, Inc.

Even if you did forget that YESTERDAY was War Savings Stamp Day it is not too late TODAY to purchase stamps. WEEKLY MESSENGER, Gassie C. Gales, Mgr. changed greatly since I was here. Prices are exhorbitant although food in thte stores does not seem so high. Sent my laundry to a Chinaman, as I remembered they did things cheaply. Figured up after paying my bill and found that I had paid exactly three times as much as I have been paying in Bellingham for having the same pieces done. I'll try a white man next time. Just now (Sunday, 4 p. m.) we have been having a •concert of the chimes of the bell of The Campanile of the campus. It was beautiful. Give my best wishes to Mrs. Brown and Miss Calla Van Syckle and tell Mrs. Converse that I'll write to her very soon. Very sincerely, HELEN BEARDSLEY. THE SERVICE FLAG Say, p?.! What is a service flag? I see them everywhere. There's little stars sewed on them; What are they doing there? Sometimes there's lots of little stars And sometimes just a few. Poor Widow Jones has only one— I saw her crying, too. My darling boy, those little stars. Upon a field of white, Are emblems of our glorious boys Enrolling for the right. The border, as you see, is red, Which represents their blood; The stars are blue, the heavenly hue, The white is always good. Each star you see means some brave boy Has left his hearth and home And gone to fight for freedom's cause Wherever he may roam. So when you see a lot of stars Lift up your heart with joy, And when you see a single one Pray for some mother's boy. They go away; those gallant lads, Across the wreck-strewn sea; They go to pledge their country's faith For God and liberty. The stars and stripes they bear aloft To join the British flag, And, with the colors of brave France, They mean to end "Der Tag." And soon, my boy, that service flag, Born in the nation's heart, Will show the world that when un­furled, We proudly take our pai-t. —J. E. Evans, Washington, P. C.

Mr. Van Horn led the discussion on Tuesday morning, and began by sum­ming up the ideas of democracy as given at the initial meeting. The concensus of opinion seemed to be that democracy is a quality in the individual and therefore in the demo­cratic group, that leadership is nec­essary and is cultivated in a true democracy, that the leader—though 'he may wield great power at times— is democratic just as long as he car­ries out the will of the people -and can be "checked" by them. The problem on Tuesday was to de­termine the "what" and "how" of democracy in rural schools. Do we want democracy in the rural districts? After some discussion practically ev­eryone agreed that democracy was desirable, and that the school teacher must be the leader. This leadership must not be autocratic and must work through the people of the community, developing them into leaders so that the work will not cease with the de­parture of the teacher. Miss Rose Da­vis gave some very interesting illus­trations of just such sort of leader­ship from her own experience, but couldn't be convinced that she was the real leader rather than those whom she had trained. As Mr. Kiemme apt­ly put it, "She has the rare quality of being a leader, and not knowing it." The point was made that teach­ers ought to teach for service, not just to earn their salaries. To be a truly democratic, leader the teacher •must be a good helper "in the sha­dow." Three members of the Seminar, Mrs. Everett, Mrs. Richard, and Miss Larsen, were elected in true demo­cratic fashion to serve as a commit­tee for investigating salaries of rural school teachers; they will report at some future meeting. Miss Davis will preside over the next meeting. Topic: "Americani­zation." CHORAL CLUB A very pleasing program was rend­ered at the last meeting of the Choral Club and greatly enjoyed by all. The following numbers were given: Reading, "Who's Afraid" Neva Murphy Solo, "At Dawning" Cadman ^ — " • — • — • You owe yourself the money t h at good eyesight will save you.

TRAINING SCHOOL The pupils in the upper grades in the Training School are learning to write four-minute speeches on current topics. The students are packing Red Cross puzzles to be sent to the training camps. The pupils of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, gave a program in the auditorium last week for the enter­tainment of their fellow classmates. Solos were sung by the Misses Nellie Dick and Lillian Schoenberg. Miss Daubenspeck gave two readings, and Marion Westerland a violin solo. The students are to have assembly once each week thereafter to add a few moments' pleasure and profit to the week's regular tasks. CEDAR HALL Saturday afternoon a group of Ce­dar Hall girls who were carrying mysterious packages known to con­tain "eats" hiked from the Cedars to South Bellingham beach where many of the girls enjoyed a swim and later gathered around the bonfire and cooked their supper in true Gypsy fashion. Those who made up the party were Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. E. Ralston, Gladys Simpson, Lucille Ralston, Ruth Philbrick, Hazel Phil-brick, Mary Forrey, Violet Shellham-er, Mary Prevedell, Noreen Stauffer, Olive Derter, Mary Johnson, Mabel Peterson, Lydia Carlson, Lily Arens-meier, Emma Zehle and Flora Zehle. Selma Engdahl and Helen Axelson spent the week and in Lynden. Mr. E. Ralston left the first part of last week for Seattle where he will attend the university. There are twenty students living this summer at the Cedars, with Mrs. Simpson as chaperon. HALL'S HALL We are very glad to welcome Marie Olson into our circle. Marie hails from Portland, Oregon, near which city she has been teaching. Last Friday evening a jolly crowd of our girls boarded the Lake What­com car and went to Whatcom Falls park, where they enjoyed a most de­lightful wienie roast. Those present were: Florence Whyte, Miss Wilkie, Mabel Bangle, Annie Iverson, Theresa Boiteau, Anne Eardley, Dorothy Yeat-man and Mrs. F. G. Hall and daughter Fredora. Theresa Bpiteau s-pent |the week end in Anacortes. An interesting time is reported. EDENS HALL Jessie Hunter spent last week end at her home in Arlington. Martha Kloringer motored up to Vancouver with Mends last Saturday. Freda and Gladys Erickson attend­ed a party out in the country last Saturday evening. A party of girls from the Hall went out to Lawrence last Sunday to the home of Harriet Tyler. They picked strawberries and climbed cherry trees and ate to their hearts' content. On the way home a big black bear ran across the road in front of the machine. Those who made the trip were Gladys Hannan, Clara Jensen, Alice and Margaret Polley, Harriet Tyler, Dorothy Dalton, Lillie Becker, and Mabel Carlson.

The Messenger would like the names of all the Organization and House Re­porters, and would like reports from them. Now that the lirdus is out of the way, we can study until the Fourth and Chautauqua. If the work Ave are called upon to do seems hard, let us think of the boys in France. It appears that the students do not care to have the next Messenger on Wednesday, so unless conditions change quite suddenly, the date of issue will be Saturday, as usual. Have you made your War Savings pledge? If you have not yet been personally asked, accept this as a per­sonal invitation to make your pledge and so help do your part in construct­ing the road to Berlin. THIS IS NO JOKE Unable to endure longer a life among such youthful (?) brides, the quintette from Seattle spent a pleas­ant evening, Saturday, June the twenty-second. Each bewailing maid­en was presented with one brilliant, sparkling gem (price three jitneys, at Woolworth's jewelry counter.) Now the quintette need never feel the aches and pains of a spinister's life, for they, at least, are on the first rung of the ladder of terenal happiness. Not many days ago we were astound­ed to learn that a teacher sometimes stoops to petty thievery, and even a Normal School cannot be free from this disagreeable feature. We need not wonder, however, when we learn that teachers have been accused and convicted of disloyalty. No matter what our personal opinions as to the wisdom of this government may be— and let us hope that there are none here who doubt that our government is wise—one of the duties of a teacher is to teach patriotism. Unfortunately we have no way of determining in ad­vance whether or not a person is pa­triotic, just as we cannot pick out the petty thief. The only way is to give them a trial and then act accordingly. Undoubtedly the unpatriotic teacher is much more dangerous an enemy to our cause than a German soldier.

Fighting has begun between Bolshe-viki and anarchists in Moscow, and you can't tell the players without a score-card-.—Chicago Tribune. Another thing we're going to show Germany is that the Roumanian peace treaty is a scrap of paper that is a scrap of paper.—Kansas City Star. Retired business men under fifty classed as "loafers" can enroll as law students, with an interesting problem in constitutional law for a starter.— Wall Street Journal. When the Kaiser hears that the French War-Cross has been awarded to Lieutenant Meyer, of Milwaukee, he will almost despair of the Repub­lic.— Ne wYork World. After proclaiming the President the greatest living statesman, Colonel House is quoted as modestly adding that his mind and that of the Presi­dent "run parallel on most subjects." —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. As the German press put it, Ger­many and Austria are "fighting shoul­der to shoulder until peace is won," which is a tactful way of saying that neither dares to turn its back to the other.—Newark News. It was desirable, of course, to in­scribe the new Russian flag with some­thing short, simple, and easy to read at a distance.

M. C. A., gave a very in­teresting account of the War Confer­ence of the Y. M. C. A. which was held at Seabeck last week. Almost one hundred students from various colleges of the country met there and enjoyed a most instructive and bene­ficial series of lectures. Although the Normal Y. M. has not been able to accomplish much during the past year because of their small number, they were glad to be able to take part in the conference with such able representatives as Mr. Washke and Mr. Booman. Miss Drake, who has been supervis­ing the student teachers in Everett during the past year, is again with us for the summer. Tuesday she ex­plained very interestingly to the stu­dent body, just what the cadet system means and what has been accomplish­ed along this line. This educational experiment was first introduced into Everett last fall, under the superin-tendency of Mr. Fraser who co-oper­ated with the Normal in every way. Miss Drake reports that the system has worked out excellently and offers a splendid chance for students to ac­quire experience in one of the best school systems of the state. This year the Normal is planning to send six­teen cadets to Everett. Students who have had some teaching experience either outside or in the training school, are preferred, but inexperienced stu­dents will also be considered. Miss Drake urges that anyone interested in doing cadet work in Everett confer with Miss Earhart, as it is desirable to complete all arrangements as soon as possible Bellingham Chautauqua July 6th to 12th STUDENTS GET YOUR, TICKETS FROM THE REGISTRAR Save, this program so you will know just what thing you wish to attend.

"Those present were" —some of those jolly dormitory girls A PATRIOTIC PICNIC A group of patriotic, industrious, fun-loving Alkisiahs and their friends arrived at Austin's Landing on Lake Whatcom about eight o'clock last Sat­urday morning. They were conducted by a guide to a small lake about a mile back in the woods where grows the spagnum moss now used in Red Cross surgical dressings. The moss grows in abundance around the edge of the marshy lake. It is eighty times more absorbent than cotton batting and when one steps upon it the water is pressed from it as from a sponge. That is the reason that the girls wore old or hiking shoes with hiking suits, bloomers or bungalow aprons. The girls worked with a will and succeeded in procuring a great amount of moss, which they turned over to the Bellingham Red Cross. The girls did not spend all their day pulling moss, however, for of course there was a picnic lunch and other attractions. There are some large beaver dams and a beaver home at the lake, as well as other very in­teresting "nature notes." Mr. Austin tells us that there is enough moss in this county to supply the allied armies. Why not join in making YOUR vacations and outings patriotic as well as recreative? POWELL HOUSE Esther Olson, a former graduate of the W. S. N. S., was a guest of Dor-othey Goodchild, Wednesday.

C-a-n, I feel Quite sure 'Most any sort of man Wll say when he has thought a bit, Spells nothing else but "can." But t-o-n is where we strike A tougher nut to crack— I have my own opinion and I will not take it back. The President and I agree The place the army's sent Must be pronounced in just this way: That it is CAN-ton-ment. But doughty soldiers will protest With loud and strident voice, They guess they ought to know, they say, Can-TONE-ment is their choice. Then other students champ the bit And say we both are wrong; Can-TON-ment is the word they use In story, chat and song. And yet another candidate Arises to protest; He says can-TOON-ment is the way He likes to say it best. So ton and tone and also toon And accent we discuss, There seems a way to say the word Reserved for each of us.

I won't mentionthe columnist that did this vile deed, hut any person of intelligence knows who led the fight against theMafia regime. * * * I was among the members of the student body that listened to the campaignspeeches last Monday. Counting the candidates there were 57 ol us. I don't know if this is acommentary upon my school spirit or the lack of it in the other 3000 students. From a knowing source I received the information that one student became so irate at having to listen to the speeches asthey were broadcasted into the lounge that he most roundly cursed the poor lady at the informationdesk. And then he probably wonders why he doesn't know the candidates or their ideas. Many longyears ago I remember the beginnings of a party system at Western. If memory and the records left forthat year are correct, the budget was unbalanced to the tune of $15,000. This was in 1958 and sincethen, under independent rule, the budget has been balanced. This rather speaks for itself. Members ofthe ASB government in those years may have lived in the same house, but would not speak to eachother. In defense of themselves As it stands now, a group of students are Advocating a one partysystem. They admit there is a chance another party may be formed&#226;&#8364;&#8221;to quote what one person of thatparty said Monday&#226;&#8364;&#8221;"in defense of themselves." . One of the Advocate Party planks is the formationof a pressure chamber where students could state their views. As I recollect, any student can talk athis or her representative or can speak directly to the Legislature. This seems rather redundant, havingtwo bodies performing the same task at the same time. Another point they Page 2 (the Advocates)brought up was mediocre faculty-student relationships. I may be old i'ashioned, but to me the facultyis here to teach and the student is here to (this is a heretical thought) learn, wherein the onlyproblem is communication in the classroom. What does this have to do with student government?Unless one of the jobs of the ASB President is to check how loudly the profs are speaking. LETTERS. . .

Indifference in elections To the Editor: Perhaps I am a radical; or a rabble rouser; orhave a warped set c values; or something with equally insidious connotations, but&#226;&#8364;&#8221;I have never sen a'college so luke-warm in its political activity as is Western. Is supporting your candidate going out ofstyle? And since when has it become bad form to do a little mud-slinging at the opposition? It may bejust a sign of the decadence existing in suCh places, but at southern universities, party supporters tear down posters, burn candidates in effigy and engage in other equally "degrading" activities. I have been informed that this is "extremely poor sportsmanship." It is my contention that my counselor in thismatter and others sharing her 'belief are the same people that would get a big kick out of beingspectators at an all day intramural tiddlywinks tournament. At least, the schools demonstratingsuch so called "poor sportsmanship" have a majority at the polls. It's time a few people WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN become mad and take a stand. A party or individual needs supporters thatget behind them and push&#226;&#8364;&#8221;not those that merely tag along. Until some interest (visible interest) isshown, Western students will continue to gripe back and forth with one another and remain in thesame rut they are griping about. What has become of spirit . . has it become lost in the archaicstructure of a perverted kind of etiquette? No wonder Orwell has nightmares about a guy he calls "BigBrother." Frosty Billingsley Letter Notice A letter has been received from Fred Basetti, architect oi.' thegymnasium, and one of his associates, Robert Murphy, in regard to Roger Myers' sports column, AllBalled Up, which appeared in the Feb. 10 issue of the Collegian. The two apparently feel that Mr. Myersis "all 'balled wp" and are pointing out his errors in defense of the gymnasium roof. Due to the length ofthe letter and the date which it was received the letter will not be published until the March 3 issue ofthe Collegian. &#226;&#8364;&#8221;Editor. Orchesis Orchesis, the College concert dance group, will present a concertSaturday, March 4, in the College Auditorium. The group, sponsored by the Physical EducationDepartment, has planned a varied program in mood, style, movement and accompaniment. Thecompositions will range from dramatic characterizations to the extreme of abstraction where thethematic roots are exclusively in pure movement. Orchesis is striving to offer its members theopportunity for creative dance experiences, and to acquaint the College and community with thevarious aspects of dance as an art form and as an educational force.

These solemn words that remind man that the time will come when he must dropthe things of the world and flow from his earthly vessel to return to the earth that produced it, speakbetter than anything the spirit of Lent. Wednesday, the fii-teenth of February, marked the beginning ofthe season of the church year when man pauses to ponder upon the eternal, and in the process hemay come to an abrupt halt and viewing his physical body, bow his head and more than ever try toachieve union with something real and lasting. Is this a dim view of man? Perhaps . . . yet itdemonstrates not only that physical matter is subject to physical laws . . . it also bids man searchbeyond the world to seek his true and lasting nature. The world provides a stage for great drama.Physical matter is a medium through which something very real is accomplished, yet that somethingvery real calls out forever and man responds with varying degrees of success. Princes come . . .princes go. Curtains rise in a fanfare of glory and then fall . . . Today's spectacle is then tomorrow'smemory. Slowly... slowly flows the river of time. Endlessly it winds its way through eternity.Relentless and without apology it ilows . . . Where was its birth? Where is the end? Man stands on therazor's edge of the present and his civilizations rise to the sky, proclaim their message, and then fall.Still the river surges on. On moonlit pyramids the nightbird's shadow moves. On ancient temple stepsrushes grow. Time was when valleys green were rivers. Time was when the broken flask poured forthwater. How can anything creative be accomplished in meditating upon man's weakness as a physicalentity? Only when a realization of the temporary is achieved can there be a search for the eternal. Theriver moves but carries with it things it has picked up along the way. Shall man, a drop of this river, reach the ultimate source of the river polluted or in a pure state? What has he left at the last turn of theriver? This knowledge makes man's temporary forms meaningful. When man realizes the eternal helets the temporary become a focal point for that eternal and from then on all his efforts speak of thatgoal. Even Christ died . . . On a cross of physical matter the greatest sent forth streams of blood . . .Robed in splendor he moved forth into the bright sunlight of resurrection morning. This last week wasfilled with more activities and campus participation and spirit than any other I have seen in my twoyears here. I do not think that there is anyone on this campus who will not agree that the planning andexecution of the WUS drive was superior to anything yet seen ihere. For those of you who do not agree,remember that Lefty isn't gone yet. Students love to gamble There was one thing I learned over theweekend, and that is that Western students love to gamble. I never saw so much money on gamingtables at any college. The only twinge of sadness that I had was when I took the $90 I had won and tried to buy some stockings and garters for a few of the dancing girls I met. They were most cooperativeand talented &#226;&#8364;&#8221; for example, they were great in their dance and song routine during the intermission.The only ibad part of the evening was the raid, mismanaged by somebody who had a friend who shotseven holes in the ceiling of the VU with a shotgun. The only consolation to that event was that thegood guys won. Some happy mammoths The other event last week was the PLAY. I write that incapitals because it was capital in production and reception. The play itself was a good choice, and anexceptional job of casting was made. There ought to be some very happy mammoths, if they haven'tall been stoned to death by Henry or Scolmans. The whole year's activities are not over. The Junior Prom will be held in VU on March 3 from 9 to 1 p.m. Steve Loughery and his band, who played at theHomecoming Ball, will play again. This is the band that won the Northwest Regional Band contest andthen went on to place second in national competition. You had better get your tickets in a hurry whenthey go on sale March 1. If I live through the Fight Night fisticuffs I shall return to taunt you next week.Those of you who hate me may come and jeer if you wish. STUDENT RECITAL Pianists featured Thenext Music Department Student Recital is scheduled for March 1, at 3:00 o'clock in the CollegeAuditorium. Among the performers to be heard at this time are three pianists whose selections arerepresentative of some of the most characteristic writing of three masters from the Romantic period.Sandra Strom will perform the Mendelssohn Variations Serieuses, Artha Peterson wil be heard inChopin's Nocturne in F minor, Op. 55, No. 1; and the Brahms Ballade in G minor, Op.. 118, No. 3 willbe played by Beverly Carr.

Basso Bobby Brown and soprano Kay Zatrine will be the soloists acompanied byDoris VonBargen and Jeanne Fassett. I.A. SYMPOSIUM What is I.A. at Western? A symposium forindustrial arts majors and minors was held recently. The program was staged by the Alpha Tau chapterof Epsilon Pi Tau, Industrial Arts honorary. Members of the industrial arts faculty were featured on thepanel. The discussion centered around the question, "What is industrial arts at Western?" After thepanel had expressed individual opinions, the students were invited to submit questions gt;oncards. These could be directed at individual instructors or the group. According to Dr. Pat Atteberry,department chairman, "The contribution of the symposium was threefold. It gave the faculty anopportunity to learn student opinion. Misunderstandings regarding the purposes of the department were brought to light, and it provided an opportunity for students to get grievances andmisunderstandings off their chest in a professional manner." February 24, 1961 WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 February 24 - Page 6 ---------- A.S.B ELECTIONS "A conflict is born . . ." by Linda Kleve Amid multicolor posters, effective campaignslogans and impressive speeches, the 1961-62 election is making its debut. The election, Mar. 2, willbe preceded by a primary on Monday, Feb. 27. school. Such a system would not enable all students tohave a part in government. Hayes commented that "rather than divide the student body into camps todo different tasks, he would rather have all students work towards one goal, Candidates for Vice-President L. to R., Mills, Runnels, Moore, Baker, Beeman Along with elections a conflict is born. Aconflict which involves the Advocates and Independents. The Advocate Party is attempting to bring partypolitics to Western's campus. Both groups&#226;&#8364;&#8221;if we wish to divide them as such&#226;&#8364;&#8221;basically agree on the criteria needed for an elective student government. However, they differ on the methods used toestablish such a government. Closer Cabinet-Legislature relations The words experience, proven a-bilityand integrity adorn many posters throughout the campus and introduce to us Dick Hayes, a junior andcandidate for the office of ASB President. Possessing the necessary qualifications, including three years on the Legislature, Hayes feels that a lack of interest on the part of the student is a main flaw ingovernment at the present time. He stated that he would not make any radical changes in the presentsystem. However, he would like to have a "closer relationship between the Cabinet and the Legislature"and "an improvement of faculty-student relations without sacrificing student privileges." Party politics,according to Hayes, would probably result in a "clique" running the that of creating a better studentgovernment." Papritz and party politics Cal Papritz, opponent to Hayes, representing the AdvocateParty and a write-in candidate, holds opposing views. Strengthened by many years of studentgovernment experience, Papritz feels that the problems of government can be alleviated through theestablishment of party politics. An interest group in the Viking Union to encourage lobbying would beinaugurated under this system to allow free action of pressure groups to act with their ASBrepresentatives to decide the fate of various aspects of college life. "This," according to the AdvocateParty, "would alleviate the role of students dealing with the faculty because the faculty would realizethat the elected were expressing the opinion of the majority." Bonnie Baker, a sophomore seeking theoffice of Vice-president is also a member of the Advocate Party. She shares her party's platform alongwith Cal Papritz and other members of the party. "A social program which is adequate for 3,000people and student government for and by the student," is sought by Gary Beeman another candidate for ASB Vice-president. Possibly all students will agree with his philosophy that "On the verge of becoming Western Washington State College, we should drop the archaic structure we held when we were Bell-ingham Normal School." "Don't settle for less, vote for Moore," decorates posters for Bill Moore, a thirdcandidate lor ASB Vice-president. Moore belives that a whole year's experience in the administrativelevel of the ASB of the College enables him to be more closely allied and acquainted with existingconditions and past problems. He further commented that he will try "to provide an efficient socialprogram and represent you in the ASB." Recognizing ASB as a three-fold organization, proving aninterest in Legislative hopefuls L. to R., Myers, Fortin, Hyatt, Bushaw, Corliss Page 6 WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN February 24, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 February 24 - Page 7 ---------- both Legislature as well as the social aspects of V-P duties, distinguishes the attitude oi Judy Runnels.Miss Runnels would like to improve the personnel system by having more direct contact with students.She also seeks more variety in the present social program. The fifth candidate is Gordy Mills. He states that "if elected to the office of vice-president, I will do my best to put 'life' back into existing socialactivities." He further commented that "I will be cognizant of the likes and dislikes of the presentactivity program." Thus we have five candidates seeking the office of ASB Vice-president. All possessthe necessary qualifications for this office; they will be voted on in the Primaries on Monday, Feb. 27.At this time three of the candidates will be eliminated. An essential part of student government is theLegislature. I t is the duty of the members of this body to represent the interests of the studentconcerning the various aspects of college life. Six run for Legislature Running for Legislature positions are Dave Corliss, Barbara Bushaw and Joe Zimmerman, who are members of the Advocate Party.Zimmerman is a write-in candidate. Others seeking positions are Karen Fortin, Mike Hyatt and DennyMyers. Aside from multicolor posters, campaign slogans and impressive speeches, elections havebrought out various aspects of improvement needed in the present student government. Especiallybrought out was the need for more interest and representation by the students. On Mar. 2, it is up to you to place the gavel in the hand of whom you believe to be best qualified and to elect those persons that will make Western's government one which will best represent you the student. AWS ELECTION Three run for president Elections for Associated Women Student offices will be held the same time as thestudent body elections. Girls running i'or the office of AWS president are Joan Kulbitski, Carole Brown,and Sandi Cortelyou. Vice presidential candidates are Ann Donovan and Sue Capps. Penny Sullivanand Judy Laulain-en are running for secretary, while Karen Fifield and Brenda Thomas are vying for theoffice of treasurer. EUNICE FABER "Don't accept everything1" by Yvonne Westman "Dare to be a non-conformist." With these parting words Mrs. Eunice Faber summed up her opinion of the basic need oftoday's students, whom she feels need to be "rocked from their cradle of conformity" into broadeningtheir outlook and developing attributes of leadership. "By non-conformism I mean not conforming to the goals of the crowd," she elucidated. "Get beyond them. They'll follow you every time." Languageinstructor Faber "Get beyond them" This viewpoint she 'presented before faculty and students at theFeb. 16 "Faculty Speaks" session, where she and ASB Vice President Jerry Caton led the discussion"How I See the Student," delving into the problem of intellectually stimulating students who are aproduct oi.' a materialistic society that has "more than it needs and probably more than it wants."Mrs. Faber, a member of our Foreign Language Department, drew on past teaching experience at allgrade levels in presenting her outlook on today's students. Students lack determination She contrastedtoday's outlook with that of the 1930's, revealing today's student comparatively lacking "determination" resulting from a lack of "a sense of adventure and risk." In the 1930's there was "more concern for thebasic ideas and ideals than now," she stated. "Then stress was on individualism rather than on followingthe crowd." This tendency to follow the crowd she found particularly distressing in students today, whoshe felt were too intent on the security of being "like everyone else . . . I've had some of my betterstudents apologize for getting good grades," she remarked, aptly illustrating the degree of conformityto which many students have fallen. Educational system, presents few challenges to students Theresponsibility for today's outlook she placed on the shift in the values of our society as a whole to themeasuring of success by materialistic means. Our educational system in particular, she felt, presentsfew challenges to students and should be "revamped" so that challenges are presented which will inspire the student to "become involved with ideas" and aim for higher goals in learning. "Aristotle said 'it isthe natur* of all to learn'," she quoted. "The student then is someone who wants to learn, to acquireunderstanding and the development of his intellect. It should be the major goal of all educators toencourage this desire &#226;&#8364;&#8221; Even the so-called 'average' student will do much better than you wouldexpect if you give him an objective and the means to attain this objective. The results would surpriseyou." "How can the student of today be a non-conformist?" she was asked. "Any group that gives itstime to delve into new ideas is on the right road," she replied. "The group right here does not containabsolute conformists&#226;&#8364;&#8221; or you would be on the other side of that door drinking coffee. Instead youcame here to hear ideas. Continue this process ofi not being conformists. Come in and participate inthings of interest. Read! Learn to discriminate in your reading. Watch news analyses and reports. Lookfor the error beneath things . . . talk it over, ask questions. Don't accept everything! Strive for thechallenge. Strive to do your very best. Be willing to sacrifice for a new challenge . . . something that'sbigger and going to add to your overall development. You will be a better rounded person." ORGANRECITAL Dr. Schaub of Western's Music Department will give an organ recital this Sunday at 8 p.m. inthe Auditorium Music Building.

J SKIN OF OUR TEETH "Gaining new insight . . ." by Linda Biggs Hardly anyone who sawthe Western Players' production of Thornton Wilder's "Skin Of Our Teeth" last weekend could haveleCt the auditorium without having gained new insight to some aspect of living. It may have been a new perception of mankind's evolution socially, physically or mentally, or it may have been a new conceptof humor; but the insight was unavoidable.

Perhaps the morals ol this allegory on mankind were profound enough for the viewers. Yet the form of the play itself has elicited more comment by critics, probablybecause it is much easier to explain despite its complexity. The Shakespearean "asides" are Wilder'sbest laughter-arousing gimmicks; the play seems to fall apart just at the climax of each scene just toremind the audience who they are, who the actors (and understudies) are and of what the scenery ismade. Sabina, the An-trobus maid, is the instigator of this crumbling each time, a part which requiredtrue diligence on the part of Alice Swerdl'eger and was very successfully and deftly handled. ^Jim Walker was the epitome of father, the omnipresent influence, while his helpmate, Diane Ny-gaard, trulyportrayed "the mother image" totally required by the drama. MAFIA ROUTED Garters and the goose gun A feeling of relief has enveloped the Western campus since the Bridge-manno gang is no longer incontrol. The shootings and gambling casino (in the guise of a bookstore) are now only terrifyingmemories in the minds February 24, 1961 of the Western students, and WUS is rich to the tune of $950as of Tuesday. Students hoped in vain, after the WUS auction incident, that they would see no moreof Bridgemanno and his corrupt organization. Thursday afternoon a crowd of horrified students watched in terror as "Lefty and the boys" (and girls) roared the streets and stalked Marshall Bronson, the onebrave defender of the VU Building. Shooting loudly and running from tree to tree in the once placid birdsancturary, the gang and their Barr Maids took over the VTJ. Mrs. P. runs Bingo For one gala, rowdyevening the Bridgemanno gang ruled supreme with their bookstore solidly established in the VU.Converted into a gambling casino, the coffee shop sported scantily clad dancing girls, remnants fromReno and a floor show. Colonel Roy Mumme acted as head bartender, persons such as Hicks andMathieson were seen at the gambling tables, and Bridge-manno's mother (Mrs. P.) was stunning inher original gay 90's gown and red flower as she ran the BINGO game. The VU desk sold money at$3,000 for 10 cents, millions were lost at the gambling tables, and one admirer of the Barr's Hall"porch light girls" complained of the high price of garters $30,000). Upstairs at the dance, Bill Crabtreeand his partner won the Charleston contest. The catastrophe of the evening came when ASB vicepresident Jerry Caton was caught cheating in the bookstore and was beaten up. He escaped to theupstairs dance floor and was shot down. It looked like our campus had been lost to evil and vice forever. Bronson, good guys prevail All was not lost, however. The good in the world prevailed! TheUntouchables, in the guise of Collegian columnists, ever diligent, ever righteous, ever-ready (likebatteries) were planning. They had good guys planted in the book shop, and the finale came as thedance was ending. A stupendous, mis-maligned, muddled police raid took place a la goose gun. Theonly fatalities were "Baby Faced" Zen-ter, "Lover" Tangen, one Union roof, and one "Moose" head. Allstudents were able to sleep soundly, confident that evil was defeated and happy that the VU was againin the hands of Marshall Bronson and his pipe.

TheViks still have a chance for the National tourney and by showing some of their mid-season spark and fire could earn the coveted trip. Viks play like tail-enders Last weekend the Viks looked like tail-endersinstead of title-contenders. Friday night they bowed to Red Reese and his Eastern WashingtonSavages, 76 to 61. The following night the Viks play- Gary Mose fouled in try for loose ball ed a tough,hard game but failure to convert from the foul line cost them an 81 to 60 defeat. This weekend willprobably be an open date for the dribblers. If selected for the NAIA playoffs the Viks will resume action against an opponent to be named later next week. Last Friday, nothing worked for the Viks as theyplayed lackluster ball. Against an Eastern team they should have clobbered, the Viks were lucky to stay within 20 points. Time and again they had a chance to take control of the game, but were never able tocapitalize. High point man for the Viks was Terry Nixon with 12 points. Missed free throws The following night Western came out as if they were going to run the newly crowned Evergreen Conference titlists,the Whitworth Pirates, out of the gym. After racing to a nine to two lead, the Vikings missed five ALLBALLED UP by Roger L. Myers Each year there is always a big scramble among NAIA teams in thestate to !be picked as the representative of this area. Usually there is no standout team, so i'our, five orsix teams argue their qualifications. Royal's pet theme This year was no exception and regardless of how the NAIA regional board decided, somebody is going to think they got "a raw deal." At the present time(Monday, before the board had anounced their selections for this year), I can think of six teams that arequalified. Certainly Whitworth as conference champion deserves a chance at the Kansas City trip. TheVikings, who boast the best overall season record, should merit consideration. But what about PLU, whocould finish either tied with or ahead of the Vikings? UPS could also finish tied with the Viks providingthey won last Tuesday. If UPS beat both PLU and Western last week they would throw the conferenceinto a four way tie for second. From down south, Royal Brougham is pushing his pet theme of "let SPCgo east." This then presents six teams (Eastern's record was as good as PLU's). I am not knocking theNAIA board. They have a tough, hard job for which they receive nothing. I am merely sticking my nose out again and trying to be helpful. My suggestion would be to have a Uour team, two day tournament atthe Civic Ice Arena in Seattle between Western, UPS, PLU and SPC. At the same time in Spokane, haveWhitworth play Eastern. The following week have the tournament champion and the winner of theEastern- Whitworth game play a best of three series for the right to go 'back east. These games would be at Ellensburg, a neutral court. Provides tournament experience The best thing about this *plan is that itallows six teams a chance at the National tourney. Also, each year there is a definite lack of funds in the NAIA kitty, &#194;&#169;inch a tournament proposal would pay off handsomely. It would also provide "tournamentexperience" for the winning squad, a handy thing to have in that opening game at K.C. There are somedrawbacks. Some teams would have to travel further than others. Coaches on this side might not go forthe idea ofl having to play two games while Eastern or Whtworth get off with only one. It's only an ideaand most assuredly would not be used this year. However, it looks as if the same situation keepscreeping up year after year. This plan would come closest to satisfying the most people. Also don't forget the vast possibilities of that tournament as a money making venture.

In the second half the Pirates hit on a phenomenal 18field goals in 25 attempts to sew up the contest. Clayton, Nixon shine The only bright spot of theentire trip was the play of juniors Terry Clayton and Terry Nixon. Clayton, before fouling out of bothcontests, scored 17 points and pulled off 15 rebounds. Eleven of Clayton's points came againstWhitworth as he started for the second time this year. Nixon, hot-shooting guard, collected 30 pointsin the two games. The only other encouraging performance was by Jim Adams, who retrieved 15rebounds and 11 points against the Pirates.

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 NO. 7 H A L FACULTY i.A. The thirty-third session of the Wash ington Educational Association was held in Seattle, October 29 to November 1, 1619. Each year is held, somewhere in .the state, the W. E. A. and each year the Bellingham State Normal is well represented in this conference. ;; The officers of the W. E. A. for 1919 are Miss Almina George, president, from Seattle; Mr. J. T. Forrest, vice-president, from Bellingham; Mr. O. C. Whitney, secretary, from Tacoma, and Mr. A. C. Roberts, treasurer, from Everett. Prominent speakers of this session, regarded by our representatives as be&#173;ing especially interesting, were Miss Snllie Hill, president National League of Teachers' Association; Dr. William T. Foster, president Reed College, and Dr. Anna Y. Reed, United States De&#173;partment of Labor, junior division. Miss Hill is devoting herself chiefly to ^he work of the grade teachers. Dr. , Foster took for his subjects, "Morale," and "Surveying Ourselves." Dr. Reed dealt with the " Employment System." She afterwards came to Bellingham and gave us some interesting lectures bear&#173;ing on this subject. The section meetings were begun on Thursday in which a number of our faculty members were featuring. In the county supervision and normal school section, Mr. James Bever was president. Appearing on the program was Dr. Irving E. Miller, who discussed " Professionalizing the County Superin-tendency." Mathematics, science section, program was addressed by Mr. H. C. Philippi on " Breaking Away from the Traditional Teaching of High School Physics and Chemistry." Mr. E. J. Klemme with " Rural School Problems," helped to clear up some of the difficulties in the rural section. Miss G. Longley was elected presi&#173;dent of the home economics section for the state. Dr. Herre has been named as a mem&#173;ber of the educational council. Following is a list of the Normal faculty members who attended the W. E. A.: Miss Earhart, Miss Longley, Dr. Miller, Mr. Bever, Miss Sperry, Dr. Herre, Mr. Kibbe, Mrs. Thatcher, Miss Baker, Miss Clark, Mr. Philippi, Mr. Coughlin, Mr. Kolstad, Mr. Klemme, Miss Bell, Miss Mildred Moffat, Mr. Heckman, Miss Crawford, Miss Beas-ley, Mrs. Mayhew and Miss McDonald. All who attended report a very pleasant time. They bring greetings to us from many of the former Normal students, a great number being present, coining especially from Seattle and Ta&#173;coma. Aside from the banquets and enter&#173;tainments of various kinds, the football game between U. of O. and U. of W. was an attraction to a great number. I THE TEETH OF THE GIFT E" IS Last Wednesday at the regular as&#173;sembly period a group of students from Mr. Hoppe's class in community dra&#173;matics presented the clever farce by Margaret Cameron, " The Teeth of the Gift Horse." Florence Butler (Carrie Whittier) is almost distracted because the week be&#173;fore she had sent to a rummage sale a pair of large, hand-painted vases which her husband's aunt had sent as a wed&#173;ding gift, and now this aunt is coming on a visit. Florence, with the aid of her friends, Anne Fisher (Jessie De Line) tries every device to locate the vases. Aunt Marietta (Mrs. Hartt) ar&#173;rives and is very downcast because she does not see her vases. Dick Butler (Estella Burnside), who adores his aunt, ignorant of the fact that his wife has sent the vases to the sale, leads the conversation into very embarrassing predicaments. Unable to stand more, Florence drags her husband out of the room " to fix a door" and explains to him. Katie, the servant (Frances Smith), is very much relieved to learn that, the box Aunt Marietta clung to so ten&#173;aciously on her arrival, does not con&#173;tain a bomb but merely a present for Mr. and Mrs. Butler. The present, a clock, most gorgeous in its decoration of butterflies and hoomin' birds, Aunt Marietta explains, matches Mrs. Butler's vases and is meant to stand between them. The clock appeals immensely to Katie's sense of beauty and she thinks it would look gr-rand between the vases her sister's mother-in-law bought at the rubbish sale. Katie describes the vases as having black butterflies and blue and grane hoomin' birds and goold on all the edges. This confirms Aunt Marietta's suspicions as to the fate of her vases. Devlin Blake (Narcissa Col&#173;lins), a friend of the family and a col&#173;lector of fine pieces of art, calls just at tea time. He teases Florence about the brace of home manufactured hor&#173;rors she sent to the rummage sale last week. Dick and Mrs. Dick try to cir&#173;cumvent him but without success and the situation becomes so painful that Dick hurries Aunt Marietta off the scene. Biake, unable to appreciate Flo's dis&#173;tress, treats the affair humorously until Flo explains to him, then his sympathies a re genuinely aroused. Shortly after Dick and Aunt Marietta's return to the sitting room, Anne Fisher comes in with the missing vases. She explains that they have, been to a sort of loan exhibi&#173;tion. Aunt Marietta's last remnant of doubt is explained. away. She is again happy and shows the clock she has brought. Nobly overcoming the shock to artistic temperaments, the vases and the clock finally find a resting place on the mantel. And Aunt Marietta, beaming, promises to paint something nice for each one of them. (Continued on Page Two) SERIES OF LECTURES Tuesday morning at 9 a. m. Dr. Nash presented to the faculty and students of the Normal Dr. Anna Y. Reed, who comes to us from Washington, D. C, where she is director of the junior divi&#173;sion of Employment Service. . Dr. Reed is a woman of rare person&#173;ality, and a very forceful as well as a very entertaining lecturer, and we cer&#173;tainly feel fortunate in being able to have her with us at this time. The bureau of which Dr. Reed is the director at Washington was formed be&#173;cause of the fact that after the war was over in this country thousands of young men and women, boys and girls not yet twenty-one who had been employed in war work, were thrown out of employ&#173;ment, the older men and women being given the preference. One day the busi&#173;ness men of Washington got togther and .said " we must do something with these boys and girls," and in five minutes time they had decided to form this junior division of the employment ser&#173;vice. The need of such a service was first recognized by the business men, not the high educators. They said, " we will call on the educators to help us solve this problem," but what Mrs. Reed is afraid of is that while the educators are thinking it over the business men will become impatient and will take the opportunity away from us. This is the type of work in which Mrs. Reed is in&#173;terested, and through this office boys and girls throughout the United States are being handled. Mrs. Reed told in a wonderful manner of the various types of young people who came to her applying for positions. She mentioned the girl who came well prepared technically to handle a good clerical position, with pleasant manners and using good English, but attired in such cheap, inappropriate finery that as she came in the door Mrs. Reed said to herself: " I wonder who would em&#173;ploy her? " Mrs. Reed talked with the girl, and finally was able to show her how important it was to be dressed suit&#173;ably for office work, and today that girl is filling an important position. The girl had been through a four-year com&#173;mercial course in high school, but no one had ever told her what she ought to wear, so that Mrs. Reed felt that in that case the teacher was partly to blame. Other students came wishing work, but not prepared to offer any&#173;thing that the business man could pay for, and some of them wanted to teach because they were told that teaching was the most respectable way to make the most money, and yet many of these people came from schools purporting to hfive fine vocational trades teachers. Some of the points Dr. Reed empha&#173;sized were these: Teaching is not a pro&#173;fession of the past, but one of. the fu&#173;ture, but that the teacher of the future (Continued on page 2) The pre-primary room had a regular Hallowe'en party Thursday morning last, when they entertained their fathers, mothers and little friends. For several days they had been very busy making favors and decorations for the tables which were gay with color. Following the Hallowe'en stories and games came the refreshments, home made, dainty, yet wholesome. The presence of the patrons and their friends made the party one of great pleasure to the children as well as to the teachers. The first and second grades had their regular community program with drawn shades and walls adorned with the work clone during the drawing periods. The songs and dramatizations were seasonal, reflecting the best elements of the Hal&#173;lowe'en spirit. The fourth grade pupils bobbed for apples, which were suspended from strings across the room, just before the end of the last period, to make the day hfive a festive ending. The third graders had to earn their owls and black cats by a language drill which only added to the value of the prize. It takes but little to make a child happy, to send him home with joy in his heart. IS GIFT TO Mr. Harry B. Sewell, manager of the Paget Sound Traction Light Power Company has recently given to the in&#173;stitution a framed map of the Puget Sound District. It covers the territory between the international boundary and Olympia, and from the Cascade moun&#173;tains to tide-water. It has been com&#173;piled from data of the geological sur&#173;vey, the office of the state engineer and of the engineers of the counties of What&#173;com, Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce, Kitsap and Thurston and from the sur&#173;veys and records of the Puget Sound Traction Light Power Company. It shows the routes of the company's trans&#173;mission lines, the steam and electric rail&#173;ways, automobile roads and waterways, as well as the rivers and smaller streams. It also locates their generating plants, both hydraulic and steam. This map is a valuable addition to the map lit&#173;erature of Western Washington. NORMALITES IN WHITMAN COUNTY The following Normalites were report&#173;ed as attending the Whitman County In&#173;stitute: Miss Ruth Leyshon, who sends greetings to all; Florence Zader, Louise Vulliet-Bartelt, Mary Newell Miles, Esther Baldwin Hale, Elva Krause- Lacey, Edna Stone. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 November 7 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEENLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 Miss Mary Richeson '18 is teaching at Glasgow, Missouri. Nellie Agnew '19 writes from Her-mosa, California: "My mother's illness forced me to resign from the Seattle schools. There are many vacancies here' even yet in the rural schools and I hope to be put on as a regular teacher in Pasadena soon. This has been a very wonderful experience to me. Mother and I are studying the history of the country and touring to points of in&#173;terest. "It is very different from Wash&#173;ington and very beautiful. We travel for miles and miles between palm and pepper ^rees or between groves of or&#173;anges. Many of the orange trees are in blossom now. The frangrance is de&#173;lightful. Mother and 1 are going to start a winter garden and hope to have lettuce and tomatoes at Christinas time." Margaret McNaughton '19 writes from Tacoma: "How good it seemed to re&#173;ceive a letter bearing a Bellingham postmark. I am living at home this year and teaching in a school close enough for me to walk back and forth every day. I feel as though at last all my dreams were coming true. A num&#173;ber of last year's graduating class are teaching here in the city and I see them ouite often. Among them are Roxy Denny, Ida Berg, Elma Mooney and in the same building with me is Miss Dudgeon, who graduated several years ago.

ROMANCE The following is being published to stimulate attendance at Senior recep&#173;tions : Two young men, namely Bill Nobles and J. 15. Russell, and one young lady, Miss Elsa Kilian, are the players. A few clays before the 1919 com&#173;mencement Mr. Nobles and Mr. Russell wended their way to the Senior recep&#173;tion. Upon arriving, Mr. Russell found that he was a stranger and it would be agreeable to him to meet some of the young dames. Bill Nobles, good fellow that he is, cleared up the difficulty by making Russell known to the ladies. One girl, Russell saw, and at that inevitable moment, cupid shot his arrow. During the evening, Russell forgot that recep&#173;tions are sometimes meant for more than two. Miss Elsa Kilian departed for Ta&#173;coma where she had signed a contract TO teach. Russell followed. Sometimes results are obtained readi&#173;ly, accurately and speedily, so with them, why suspense, three days are suf&#173;ficient time for the answer. Mr. Russell began his career as prin&#173;cipal in a school east of the mountains, Miss Kilian resuming her work at Ta&#173;coma. Soon, Russell decided that he must have some one for the primary grades in his respective school and Miss Kilian was the " apple of his eye." Miss Kilian decided that a change of climate was necessary, thus the transition. Now, Puyallup being the home of Miss Kilian's parents, and Miss Kilian's father being a minister, one day in Puy&#173;allup appeared J. B. Russell and Elsa Kilian &#8212; presto change &#8212; Mr. and Mrs. Russell. Puyallup is also the home of Bill Nobles. Nobles in his denim attire, broad brimmed hat with his milk pail on his arm was summoned to the neigh&#173;bors with a "hurry up," "just for a minute." Nobles, good fellow that he is, did his service as best man in com&#173;pleting the ties that bind. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Russell, happily contented, are both doing, their part in guiding our future generation " along the flowery path of knowledge."

REID GIVES SERIES OF LECTURES (Continued From Page One) must be prepared to qualify for the modern teaching positions, and that bet&#173;ter pay is assured, to those who will qualify . The question that ought to be before the Normal student today is "Am I to be one of the leaders in a new movement? " The world is looking for leaders not followers. The question of the boy or girl who leaves school to go to work should be, " What have I to of&#173;fer the business world that business wants and that business will pay for?" Many times the boy who wastes his time in school and gets into mischief because he has nothing to do, as he says, is the very boy who will make good when put to work at some machine. Does the type of test you are giving your students compare favorably with the type of test that the business world is giving? There is only one school of trades that comes under the public school system in the United States that is fulfilling the conditions, and that is the Milwaukee Trade School in Wisconsin. There the girls are not only taught how to make a dress or so for themselves, but they learn all the details of the work and at the end of their training are able to go out and fill positions creditably. We must find a way to help the boy and girl overcome the difficulties that con&#173;front him and be prepared to meet the demands that are made upon him. Dr. Reed is peculiarly fitted for this work in that she has a keen insight into human nature, is of a sympathetic dis&#173;position, is a clear thinker, and was herself a teacher for many years.

Moving Pictures By ELOISE COPPER, English I. The moving picture has, in a sense, taken the place of the early drama. On account of the low cost of admission it has developed a popularity which the stage never had. The rapidity of move&#173;ment in the portrayal of events, the realistic scenes, and the seemingly more natural environment of the characters, make the performance more impressive than the ordinary stage performance, with their meager settings and some&#173;what unnatural or exaggerated acting. Besides, the better plays, which are artistic masterpieces, are beyond the means of the masses. : There is a great social influence for both good and evil in the movie of the present day. It is the one amusement to which all society has access. Young, old, poor, and rich alike depend upon it for entertainment, indiscriminately, with no regard as to the fitness of the picture. I do not believe that the pic&#173;tures that are shown are always the type that the majority demand or en&#173;joy the most. There is that great social need of some place to go that draws them to the show. Many weary work&#173;ers seek recreation; they have not the educational ability to gain pleasure from the written page, or through art or music by their own efforts; their demands are fulfilled by the moving picture show. The young are romantic; they seek an outlet for the play of their imaginations; the screen supplies it. Their impressionable minds often see the pictures &#8212; they live them &#8212; without understanding the underlying principles or the so-called morals of the play; and, when, as in so many cases, the aim of the characters is to portray crime, deceit, or treachery; the result is real crime committed by the impressionable youth who sees it done in the movie. Again, the picture depicts heroism or an ideal which produces a like response from the impulsive spectator; and the result We duplicate brok&#173;en lenses quickly and accurately. WOLL Exclusive Optometrist and Optician 205 West Holly St. is good. The movie is a great guiding force in the lives of those who frequent it, hence the necessity of improving the types of films that are being shown. One disadvantage is that the theater is a profit bearing business rather than an instrumental means of sujsplying a social need. The establishment of the board of censors has helped to weed out the cheapest grade of lecture. Public taste demands better music and like&#173;wise the low vaudeville is being ex&#173;cluded. A goodly share of the films of today have an educational value, such as the current news and events in picture form, historical scenes, the re&#173;production of the masterpieces in litera&#173;ture and drama by the best artists, pic&#173;tures taken from the scientific world, and those giving an insight into the great industries of the world. There must be a dividing line made, according to the age of those attending, just as there is in the literature of our libraries, some for the adult, and some for the child, according to development and need, if the movie is to have its greatest value as a factor in our civil and social life. The growing generation will have the wonderful experience of reliving the history of the great world war in pic&#173;tures. They will see the battlefields, the air raids, the tanks and the sub&#173;marines in real action. Statesmen and generals of the day will move before them as in actual life. Then the mov&#173;ing picture productions become service&#173;able and remarkable works of science. GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS Major A. F. Palmer, of the Normal extension force, has been invited to go to Monroe next Monday to deliver a lecture before the Commercial Club. Mr. Palmer will speak on " The Spirit of France." Mr. llindal gave his lecture on Nor&#173;way last Frida}r evening at Mrs. Kel- Jogg's school near Mount Vernon. He had a large crowd and reports a fine time. The Co-operative Book Store has in&#173;vested in an embossing machine and is now prepared to do very fine work along that line.

Isn't it about time that our cartoon&#173;ists and the public in general draw a new picture of our public school teachers ? The prevalent idea (as portrayed) seems to be a pair of glasses, a sharp pointed nose, sharp enough to correct all the papers and write all the plans were it only dipped in ink occasionally, and a little ruffled white apron, tied at the back into an ample bow. We might suffer the glasses and the nose but why, oh why, the apron? It is certainly illuminating not to . say edifying to see ourselves as others think they see us. It ,is also quite edifying to note the creed that has been built up for the teacher's benefit. " Thou shalt not dance nor play cards nor dress smartly nor frequent theaters nor read the ten best sellers nor for&#173;get that thou are always a teacher nor spend thy modest stipend for anything but church dues, socials, school maga&#173;zines, leagues and lyceums and what is left from thy budget thou shalt spend at summer school. Thou shalt cater and cajole and deport thyself in all ways as censored by the influential of the town, laughing hysterically at their jokes, and mindful of their desires in all things connected or disconnected with the position of trust and honor which thou art supposed to hold." &#8226; Everyone will agree that the teach&#173;ing profession is based on high ideals and the teacher strives to inculcate high ideals in the children placed under her supervision. Most people concede that the spiritual side of life transcends the physical. People would be absolutely shocked if you advocated that it was more essential to properly feed and clothe a child than to build up in him the accepted principles of character. Of course the extreme in anything is never desirable. How does the situation work out in the case of the teacher? The par&#173;ents would never think of expecting the merchant to give them shoes, coats, food, etc., for their child. They pay and expect to pay in full for value re&#173;ceived. The teacher, oh that's a dif&#173;ferent proposition altbgether. The things she supplies to the child can not always be definitely labeled. What haven't they a right to expect from her! The idea that anything is owing to her has never yet been conceived. Some&#173;times it is even forgotten that she is a human being, with wants and needs that need ministering to, quite as badly as the community to which she is supposed lo be sent out as a missionary. (A speaker on our Normal Assembly platform, speaking on this subject said that the only place for a missionary was in a cannibal's stomach.) The process is slow and laborious but a step in the standardization of the pro&#173;fession is being made. It will be a happy day when the same dignity char&#173;acterizing the medical profession in re&#173;gard to the financial side, prevails in the teaching profession. Most teachers would prefer to be recognized as human beings " even as you and I," not ex&#173;clusively bookish, pedestaled, exalted creatures. THE CHEERFUL GRIN. To sigh is sin&#8212;the cheerful grins About the best religion, The mourning dove may moan his love, And yet I hate the pigeon. He sits and grieves among the eaves While better birds are singing&#8212; The bobolink and lark, I think, Go right to heaven winging. Start in! Begin! The cheerful grin Will never harm or hurt you. When luck is bad and friends you had And other things desert you; When other chaps may scorn, perhaps, Your cherished plan, and mess it, Just lift your head, whatever's said, Don't ever let 'em guess it. The more you curse, you just feel worse, There's nothing in complaining; Keep plodding on until the dawn, The sunshine's after raining. Just you be glad, however bad The other fellow fails you&#8212; The cheerful grin is medicine For everything that ails you! &#8212;Exchange.

The Tacoma Club has extended its membership so as to include all those whose homes are or have been in Pierce County. You are invited to come to the next meeting, the announcement of which will be posted on the bulletin board, and help us prepare for a party, and several other enjoyable features for the near future. ALETHEIAN CLUB A number of lonesome Aletheians sedately climbed the front steps of the Normal building and arrived at the Y. W. room with a sigh of relief. A num&#173;ber of the members had gone home to enjoy their vacation but that would not hinder us from the enjoyment of our club. Short current events were given by Misses Gordon and Foster. The sub&#173;jects of the current events were " The King and Queen of Belgium," " Bill of Aliens" and the " Lifting of a Dread-naught Near the Coast of Italy." Fol&#173;lowing came the papers: "The History of Belgium," Miss Sears; " The Spirit of the Belgian People," Miss Sellin; " The King and Queen of Belgium," Miss Watson; " Gelgian Music, Includ&#173;ing the Life and Work of Eugene Ysaye," Miss Vedder. We also enjoyed a beautiful number from Ysaye on the Victrola. Then came an interesting game. Miss Gordon gave us three colors, red, or&#173;ange and black, and a pencil. We had to make out as many words as we could out of Belgian flag. It was very ex&#173;citing and interesting to get the most words.in the limited time. Miss "Wood-ard was the winner. There could have been made at least one hundred words. We then pasted the three colors to&#173;gether and made a Belgian flag. After our music we enjoyed some very rousing songs. We then went down the steps with lighter hearts and felt that it paid to come to the club. The papers had been written so , well and they showed a great deal of study and re&#173;search work. We found out to avoid loneliness was to go to the Aletheian Club. It was raining when we started for home, so Miss Woodard loaned Misses Sellin, Watson and Foster umbrellas which were rather crimpled but they kept us dry. Y. W. C. A. Miss Woodard had charge of the regu&#173;lar meeting Thursday afternoon. We are sure all the girls present enjoyed the thoughts she brought us on her subject, "What Are You Getting?" The following are some of the things we should be getting from our year's work, as brought out by Miss Woodard: GEO. E. LUDWIG Watch Expert Diamond Setter Alaska Building BELLINGHAM, WASH. Scholarship, understanding or wisdom. Everyone should have this as one of their foremost aims. Our minds are given us to use, therefore we should use them to the best of our ability. Miss Woodard encouraged every student to work for honors in classes. If we fail to win them we can have the satisfac&#173;tion of knowing we have done our best. All can not win, but all can try. Next, Miss Woodard pointed out the need for physical fitness. We have a right to a good physique &#8212; often it is our own fault if we haven't it. Each girl should strive for physical strength, for one can not do their best work if they are handicapped with a weak body. Another point brought out in this meeting was our social development. Not one of us will be the same after spending a year here. We can't help but enrich and broaden our lives be&#173;cause every enriching and broadening in&#173;fluence is thrown about us. Yet our richness will be in proportion to the friends we make. This is the place to get over our shyness, grouchiness, etc., and to make friends. Great people can probably afford to be grouches, but Normal girls can't. There are many helps for your social development, the greatest probably is the clubs of the school. Last, but by no means least, , Miss Woodard spoke of our spiritual develop&#173;ment. She showed us that we might &#8226;grow spiritually by attending our church services, joining and working in the Y. W. and devoting 30 minutes of our time e;;ch week to Bible study. By all means, do something &#8212; if you are an officer or committeeman, do your best. If not, boost your church services, the Y. W. or the mid-week Bible classes. Another source for spiritual growth is prayer. Are you abusing your prayer life? Are you too busy to pray? Or are you just a little nervous as to what your roommate would think if you prayed? Don't neglect this important part of your Christian life. You will find it helps you over many rough places. Then, briefly, we should be getting scholarships, physical fitness, social de&#173;velopment and spiritual development through our contact with subject mat&#173;ter, faculty members, and fellow stu&#173;dents during the year. Are you miss&#173;ing any one of these? If you are, you are not getting the most out of your year's work. THE SAGEBRUSH Dame Fashion would have held up her hands in holy horror could she have viewed the garbs of the jolly Sage-brush- ites in the big gym Friday even&#173;ing. For " some were in rags, some in tags and none in velvet gowns." Toss&#173;ing dull care to the winds the Sage&#173;brush Club enjoyed a few hours of youthful joy at a Hardtime Hallowe'en party. The tuneful strains of "Turkey in the Straw" and the graceful tripping of the "Virginia Reel" were first on the program. A merry " cow girl" said that wasn't lively enough so upon the sug&#173;gestion of a practical farmerette, the " Farmer in the Dell" came next. Strange to say a Gypsy maid suggested the " Flying Dutchman" and &#8212; who said school marms were slow! "Three Deep " puzzled the little girls with their hair in curls; and, yes, "Cat and Mouse" and " Ruth and Jacob " were there, too. Overcome by the merriment and de&#173;siring something morej. scientific, Mr. Coughlin cleared the floor and pre&#173;pared a very elaborate peanut race. KEMPHAUS C CO. Belling ham's Loivest Price Coat and - Suit Store DRY GOODS, WOMAN'S FURNISHINGS PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS School spirit ran high when representa-thes of Harvard, Yale, Cornell and Princeton participated in a track meet &#8212; urged on by the lusty rooting of their fellow students. But that wasn't all! The supreme moment was when practical charity was extended to the poor in the" form of cider, doughnuts and apples served with spooky, be-witched napkins. Then while spirits were aglow each was able to tell about his beloved home town without a tinge of homesickness. Very thankful to Mr. Coughlin, the committees on " eats". and entertain&#173;ment all went home happy, and avow&#173;ing to have had just the best time ever. MAJOR CLUB Thursday evening at 6 o'clock in the cafeteria occurred the famous dinner which tried the culinary art of the Phy. Ed. Girls. The old maxim that too many cooks spoil the broth did not hold true, as the physical education special&#173;ists proved to be as good cooks as the domestic science specialists. The menu was as follows: Steak and strained gravy, Moffat; spuds, both Irish and sweet, Clippenger and Mur&#173;ray; B. P. biscuits, Pauline Bornstein, also choice jellies and pickles were brought forth from the Bornstein cel&#173;lar; cauliflower a la cheese, Florence Baker; pumpkin pies with whipped cream trimmings, Regina Frank. At the command from Miss Moffat: In position, sit! the girls, well drilled in gymnastics, fell to. NEWS FROM CHELAN COUNTY At a meeting of the Bellingham Club of Chelan County, held October 24, at Wenatchee, Washington, during the teachers' institute the following resolu&#173;tions were adopted: Resolved: That greetings be extend&#173;ed to Dr. Nash, the faculty, and the stu&#173;dent body, of the Bellingham State N ormal. Resolved: That to Miss Bobray, whose help and inspiration were felt throughout the institute, we most sin&#173;cerely extend our thanks; Resolved: That we, as the Belling&#173;ham Club of Chelan County, wish for the Normal a pleasant and successful year. On October 24th, the Bellingham Club met for lunch in one of the lunch rooms of the Wenatchee high-school building. We had as guests of honor, our own Miss Mowbray, Mr. Bohamian, super&#173;intendent of city schools, Mr. Casebeer, superintendent of Chelan County schools, Mrs. Casebeer, and Mr. Bras, editor of the Northwest Journal. Our one man of the club, E. G. Brown, acted as toastmaster. Mr. Bras responded with; a cheery word or two and a funny story. Mr. Bohannan and Mr. Casebeer gave a few happily chosen words. Miss Mowbray told us of all the changes that are taking place in the Normal in which we were all intensely interested. She also recalled some amusing episodes that occurred in the red-headed club of which. she was sponser. By the way, ask Miss Mow&#173;bray how many rooms a Normal in&#173;structor needs. The meeting closed with a business meeting in the library. Officers were elected for the coming year and tenta&#173;tive plans were made for the coming year, for another reunion.

The Atlantic ocean is on one side of North America and the Pacific ocean is on the other. The land is in little pieces so we can go from one place to another. The shape of the earth is round. If you would start going to the end of the earth, you would come, back to the same place again." "This scenario;," said the eager author, "is about a girl who waited for months for a letter of forgiveness from her lover and= then married another ma nwho&#8212;" "Wait a minute," exclaimed the movie manager.

LITTLE HOMES IN THE MOUN&#173;TAINS. Little homes in the mountains, Little homes in the hills, Up where the snow-born fountains Melt in a score of rills; Reared where the sky uncloses, Up where the day is born, Each with its garth of roses, Each with its patch of corn; Shack of the logger's rearing, Hut in the craggy glen, Cot in the sun-washed clearing, Yours is a breed of Men. . . . Strong with the day for labor, Calm when the star-vault domes, Wise in the simpler wisdom, Blest in their little homes; Up where the days are tranquil, Up where the nights are cool&#8212; Little homes in the mountains Clustered about a school! &#8212;Arthur Guiterman. FLIGHT OF THE SWALLOW The golden-throated merle and mellow thrush Chant to us yet; the woodlark will not fly His ancient sylvan solitude, or hush His dewy pipings for a softer sky; But the swallow flies away; I would that I were he; He follows the flown May Across the sea. . s . &#8212;Frederick Tennyson. SCENTED LEAVES FROM A CHINESE JAR The Coral Fishers. The coral fisher, who had been a long time beneath the water, rose to the sur&#173;face with nothing in his hand but a spray of crimson seaAveed. In answer to the master of the junk he said, "While I was in the world of fishes this mis&#173;erable weed appeared to me more beau&#173;tiful than coral." The Diamond. The poet Wong, after he had delighted a company of mandarins at a feast, sat silent in the midst of his household. He explained, " The diamond sparkles only when it is in the light."

THE COLLETT HOUSE Sophie Preuss and Bertha Nemitz en&#173;tertained the Misses Clara, Gertrude and Dorothy Nitz, Mary Henni and Linda Koch at a Hallowe'en party Fri&#173;day evening. THE PARKER HOUSE The girls at 619 High entertained at a Hallowe'en party on Saturday even&#173;ing,. November 1. The house was artistically decorated, the usual Hal&#173;lowe'en decorations being used. The guests were ushered in by a ghost and the evening was spent in music, games and fortune telling. A dainty supper was served to the following: Misses Marie Bergerson, Marie and Frances Andersen, Reta Olson, Anaide Myers, Leta Lipp and Coila Parker and Messers Walter Charles, Alses Forslof, Ray Olds, Archie Gagne, Archie Erikson and Erwin Black. Anaide Myers went to a party on Friday evening and brought Frances and Marie Andresen and Coila Parker went to a mask party Fri&#173;day evening. Leta Lipp, Marie Bergerson, Anaide Myers and Marie Andresen walked over to Elizabeth Park Sunday afternoon. THE CEDARS Most of our girls went home this last week end, for out of seventeen girls there were only seven left. Those who went home are Clara and Adena Kall-ander, Eva Aim, Dolly Ginger, all of Nooksack; Lillie and Lizzie Dunagan, of Ferndale; Lauretta Mulhern, of Ever&#173;ett; Hermina Haveman and Helena De Valois, of Lynden. Miss Jennie Haveman visited her sis&#173;ter, Hermina, last Tuesday. Miss Have&#173;man was a student here in 1916 and at present is teaching at Lynden. Sunday afternoon Henrietta Welch and Olga Heggem entertained at din&#173;ner in their room. The guests were Rosa Kiser, Ruth Nyberg and Vera Winchester. Just after dinner Mr. and Mrs. Gilfellen; friends of Miss Welch, came and took all of us out for a ride. We all enjojyed the ride very much. During the drive Henrietta and Olga were very interested in any large brown car that they saw. It's rather a mys&#173;tery just why, for they won't tell. Miss Vera Winchester was the guest of Mrs. F. R. Palmer Friday evening at dinner. D. A. Y. The discussion of changing the name of D. A. Y. Hall is very prevalent these days. It has been proposed to change the name to Stephens Hall on account of the many steps leading from the hall. Whether this will go into effect is very doubtful. Some seem to see some impropriety in the act and have failed to give their approbation. Notice: The efficiency of the D. A. Y. barber shop must not be. judged by the hair cut received by one of its clients last week, because the operation was performed by Mr. Powell, an amateur, and not by the bale proprietor, Mr. Bartruff. Care will be taken that this will never take place again. The D A . Y. barber shop guarantees satis&#173;faction or money refunded. Mr.Rowe entertained the boys of D. A. Y. Hall in his room last week. Re&#173;freshments were served and everyone enjoyed a good time. Mr. Rowell cap&#173;tivated everyone with his story telling. He received applause after applause and was encored time and time again. PLEASANT VIEW HOUSE On Thursday evening Tyne Saarinen Impie Saari and Lillian Manberg were entertained by the girls of the house. Lola Manning, a former Normal High graduate who is now teaching in Seat-tie, and Clella Cowles, who is attending the Deming High spent the week end with us. A surprise of our lives was given us when Mother Altman gave a Hallowe'en party for us. The evening was spent in doing all sorts of foolish stunts after which we scrambled for nuts. Lola re&#173;ceived the booby prize for getting the most nuts, while Oza got a prize for the least. Those present were Mother Altman, Ethel Brown, Grace Green, Alice Hoover, Edith Smith, Jeannette and Christine Graham, Viola Whitney, Oza Myers, Lola Manning, Clella Cowles, Olah Cresap and Dorothy Smith. Sunday afternoon was spent in canoeing on Lake Whatcom and a trip into the country. JENKINS APARTMENTS One evening of last week, Muriel, Bar&#173;bara, Ruth and Dora were very de&#173;lightfully entertained at a Hallowe'en program and party at one of the schools near Ferndale. Cora Joe Phillips, one of our last year's girls, who is teaching there, invited the girls out for a good time and at the same time to see her school. Friday night Barbara attended a Hal&#173;lowe'en party at the Y. M. C. A. and reported a very good time. During her absence the rest of the girls gained permission for the use of the kitchen and spent the evening making (and eating) candy. Muriel spent Saturday night and Sun&#173;day with friends in town. Florence Gay, another of last year's girls, was also vis&#173;iting at this home over the week end and Sunday afternoon she paid a visit to the Jenkins girls. Florence is teach&#173;ing in Sedro-Woolley this year, and is very enthusiastic over her work there. Sunday evening after they had en&#173;joyed their Sunday night luncheon, Barbara Jenkins invited the girls down&#173;stairs to eat popcorn balls with her. Bai-bara spent the fore part of the even&#173;ing making the " balls" but we will say that it did not last long after thir&#173;teen Normal girls were " turned loose " to it. DAVIS HALL Etta and Ethel Gillies were enter&#173;tained at a Hallowe'en dinner last Fri&#173;day evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bingham. The following girls spent the week ends at their homes: Etta and Ethel Gillies and Nell Bromley at Sumas and Millie Bartlett at Marysville. Margaret Berry and Margaret Scott were the over Sunday guests of Mrs. Strickland at Ferndale. On October 24* Mrs. Davis entertained the girls of Davis Hall with a Hal&#173;lowe'en party. At 8 o'clock the girls descended the stairs and were met by a ghost, who led them through a dark room and delivered them into the hands of an old withered witch, who escorted them to the living room which was beautifully decorated with greens and various Hallowe'en favors. The first part of the evening was enjoyed by sit&#173;ting around the fireplace, telling the most "hair raising" storiqs possible; About 10 o'clock a journey was made down the back stairs, through the base&#173;ment and cellar and around the house, in this journey many ghosts were en&#173;countered but all arrived safely back in the living room. The remainder of the evening was spent singing and en&#173;joying, delicious refreshments. The girls of Davis Hall all join in saying " Three cheers for Mrs. Davis." Three birthdays in two weeks, that is the record of Davis Hall. To celebrate the noteworthy events, a spread was held Monday evening in Millie Bartlett's room. The guests were of all stations of life, the following being represented: A Vampire, Gypsy Queen, Mamma's Boy, Sweet Sixteen, Athletic Girl, Lady from Japan, a First Grader and one of Mack Sennet's Bathing Girls. " Eats " were the main order of the evening, when the last crumb had disappeared, and the supply of jokes was exhausted, silently one by one the girls crept back to their rooms for a few hours of sleep, before that 8 o'clock class. NICHOLS HALL Nichols celebrated Hallowe'en in a fitting fashion with a large dinner party. Although quite impromptu it was a suc&#173;cess. The evening was spent in for&#173;tune telling, bobbing for apples and many other Hallowe'en games. The revelers were Alexia Wilson, Ernestine Gove, Anna Keating, Margaret Wells, Anna Porter, Mrs. Wells, Effle Madson and Pearl Stoughton. Saturday Alexia Wilson and Ernestirie Gove entertained a number of their housemates at dinner. Everyone re&#173;ports that Ernestine is " some" cook. After dinner stunts and games occupied the evening until the arrival of the sand man. Those present were Effle Madson, Anna Keating, Margaret Wells, Anna Porter, Mrs. Wells, Pearl Stough&#173;ton and the hostesses, Ernestine Gove and Alexia Wilson. Those young ladies who spent the week end under the parental roof-tree ai-e Esther Nelson, of Custer; Narcissa Collins, of Auburn; Florence Peth and Ellen Martinson, of La Conner. Elvie Lovgren, Serena Anderson and Dorothea Bangle spent the week end with Laura Bangle and Esther Oleson at Acme. Tilly Kahoot attended a Hallowe'en party given by Miss Wortman at the home of her sister, Mrs. Bowden. She reports a very enjoyable evening. Sunday evening Nichols Hall wel&#173;comed Vivienne Croxford back. She has been home for a week and was badly missed. put to rights and after an attempt to discover the rash culprits everyone crawled into salted beds while visions of ghosts danced through their heads; ..' Aina Anderson and Faith Wallace spent the month end at their homes on Bainbridge Island. " Eat, drink and be merry, for to&#173;morrow you may not have a chance," has been our motto the last three fleet&#173;ing days of October. Boxes from home? Yes, they have come, and ho matter whose room you should by chance visit you go away, like the lucky tramp, with a cold bite to eat. Alice Sherwood, Anne Newman and Pearl Ingalls spent Hallowe'en at their homes in Everett. Upon Pearl's return witli good eats, there was a pie-eating contest, which furnished a little amuse&#173;ment for the participants. BEVER HOUSE Gladys Roach left us over the week end to spend the vacation at her home in Seattle. We certainly missed her cheery speech and laughter. Marian Edgerly was pleasantly sur&#173;prised Saturday evening when the girls oi the house had prepared a luncheon for her. The room was decorated suit&#173;ably for Hallowe'en with its pumpkins, black cats, owls and all the other things seen at that time of year. Cocoa, cake and pumpkin pie made the end of this perfect day. Mrs. D. O. Robertson and daughter Helen, of 801 Indian Street, entertained at dinner Sunday the following guests: The Misses Isol Marshall, Vera Moffat, Olive Neal, Victoria Huston and Oza Myers, the latter two being from the Excitement was no name for the state of affairs existing among the ballites Friday evening when the dining room, bedecked in its Hallowe'en colors, was ready for the party. The preliminary, ghost stories told in the darkness of the parlor, gave an air of fantasy and weirdness to the situation. Everyone joined in the dancing and merrymak&#173;ing. Cider and doughnuts seemed to disappear mysteriously as many other things usually do on Hallowe'en. After the party the girls went up stairs to find slight derangement in room decoration.

She has decided to remain in the Normal until the end of the quarter. Kuth Thurman spent Sunday with friends in the city. Donna Klinker and Margaret Shan&#173;non longed for elevators and taxis last Friday and Saturday. Wonder why! Helen Edwards, Clasa Gordon, Hazel Harris, Olga Kuehl, Donna Klinker and Gertrude Sears " motored " out to Lake Fadden Saturday, and cooked bacon and coffee and all other good things. Four of the girls walked around the lake to keep one of the party in good " going order." Sorry some had to miss the fun. Most everyone in the house made a survey of the U-boat Saturday or Sun&#173;day. The chief excitement was the climbing up and down the ladders in the chutes, at which some of them became experts. A present of a strong searchlight would be an acceptable gift to some of the girls who go out late at night in search of seeds for beads. Miss Sperry has charge of the Wed&#173;nesday evening Bible study. Strange how so many people in the Normal resemble others. Miss Margaret Shannon spent the va&#173;cation in Hoogdal with Hazel Means, and with her aunt in Sedro-Woolley. Ruth Thurman visited with her par&#173;ents at Bow. Margaret Riddle and Helen Edwards went to Orcas Island Friday where they visited with friends until Monday. Except for the rough ride over they had a wonderful time. The Misses McCollum entertained the house girls at a most delightful Hal&#173;lowe'en party, Friday night. There was something doing every minute from 7:30 to the wee small hours of the morning, when the ghost stories completed the af&#173;fair. Real pumpkin pies and cake were served along with candy, nuts and ap&#173;ples. Charlene Young spent the week end at her home in Sedro-Woolley. Most of the girls attended the weekly Bible study which Miss Sperry con&#173;ducts each Wednesday evening. GEROLD HOUSE Monday morning Mr. J.

Mr. Goldsworthy spent the remainder of the week in Seattle at the W. E. A. and Mrs. Goldsworthy and son remained in Anacortes for a visit of indefinite length. At least the athletic ice has been broken. The Junior girls' indoor base&#173;ball team played Fairhaven High School Monday afternoon. Fairhaven won, but the score will indicate that the Juniors were in the game. The final count, which Scorekeeper Bowsher was able to announce only two hours after Ihe game, was 44-43. Of course we must have an alabi. 2/ Fairhaven had not made twenty-four scores in the fifth wc would have won. Not to be outdone, the Seniors played Whatcom on Tuesday. ' But after all they were outdone. They had the short end of a 54-22 score. The pitching of end room- Our fall stock of w h i t e ivory and Christmas g o o ds have arrived.

Alice Hoover and Ethel Brown at&#173;tended a masquerade party Saturday evening. Our girls are not a bit slow when] it comes to playing Hallowe'en pranks on each other. Most of the girls were out Friday night and unfortunately left their doors unlocked. When they re&#173;turned, what a sight their rooms were! Chairs were up-turned, bed clothing thrown hither and thither, dresses and waists hung on nails, sky lights and everything that is capable of hanging things on, shoes and stockings were tied together, pictures were turned upside down, black-hand signs on the doors and everything that pertains to Hal&#173;low e'en. Ethel Brown and Alice Hoover dined at the Pallas Sunday evening. Gretchen Wiede, Signe Flinn and Edna Nichols started out for Whatcom Falls Sunday afternoon but managed to miss a car for over an hour, so they came back to town and took their din&#173;ner at the Cave. Oh! yes! we have an Everettite at our house and she and another Everett girl went to the game Saturday after&#173;noon. They " yelled" their loudest for their old team and were overjoyed to see them come out victorious. CLARK HALL NOTES After the meeting of the Bible class, Wednesday evening, the girls of Clark Hall had a very enjoyable Hallowe'en party.. The color scheme of black and orange was very artistically carried out throughout. "Bobbing" for apples proved a very fascinating pastime. Fortune telling was also indulged in by the girls. Light refreshments were served later in the evening, after which various ghost stories were told. Miss Floetta Schmitt and Miss Eliza&#173;beth Brandstad spent the week end at their respective homes. Mrs. Ruth Craw will leave Thursday evening for Vancouver to visit her hus&#173;band oyer the week end. Many of the girls are planning to go home for the week end on account of the holiday Friday.

The Clark Hall girls enjoyed a very delightful Hallowe'en party Wednesday evening, October 9. The rooms were decorated in the usual Hallowe'en colors, black and orange. Each girl chose an orange bow and followed the string tied to it and found her fortune. Bob&#173;bing for apples and eating apples tied to strings were added attractions. The refreshments were nut sandwiches and fruit salad served in apple cups. At the close of the evening the lights were turned out and ghost stories were told. Katherine Davis and Hilda Woodburn will spend the week end at their homes in Anacortes. Miss Hazel Peterson will spend the week end with Floetta Schmitt at Blanchard. Elizabeth Brandstad and Ebba Nat&#173;terlund will sj gt;end the week end at their homes in Mount Vernon. i Jean Barr for Whatcom was largely re&#173;sponsible for the defeat.

So far Bellingham has a clear record of three victories, one of which was from the Vancouver team that they will play tomorrow evening. Although the score was 25-19 in favor of the Normal in the first game, Coach Carver is expecting a hard tussle and will have his best men on the floor to meet them. While we cherish fond hopes and ambitions, the outcome is not certain, for strange reverses sometimes take place in return games. WHATCOM NEXT FRIDAY Next Friday, January 21, we will meet the fast Whatcom High School quintet in the Whatcom gymnasium. Both of the Whatcom games have been scheduled for the high school gym as it has far larger seating capacity than the Noraml gymnasium.

Men's Organization Gives Good Program On Friday, January 7, the assembly was a lively one, as the boys entertained. Heretofore, the young men have been very bashful about appearing on programs, owing to their minority, and the students were surprised to discover some talent, the presence of which was unknown before. The program consisted of a reading, " When I Cremated Sam Legu," by Archie Erickson; a talk on the history and traditions of the club, by Herbert Hansen, and several musical numbers by their chorus, under the direction of Mr. Coughlin, with Alfred Rosenhall as accompanist.

FIRST PICTURES UN-MOVING PICTURES OF LIFE OF LINCOLN SHOWN AT ASSEMBLY On Friday, January 7th, four reels of moving pictures depicting the life of Lincoln. The opening reels showed Lincoln as a youth, bringing out the old familiar stories that have grown up around his boyhood. Later he was shown in the White House as the president of the nation. Pictures of his family life and the struggles leading up to the outbreak of the Civil War were particularly good. Other reels showing further events in the Civil War and life of Lincoln will be shown at a later date. VISITORS ARE SHOWN THE BUILDING AND EXHIBITS Assembly Plays Given Wednesday, January 12, in spite of the inclement weather, was a real gala day at the Normal.

Exhibits in the art department were on display, and the visitors had the opportunity to view the work of students who had made many beautiful pieces of hand needle work, basketry, art and water color posters and books. The Home economics gave demonstrations in cooking and food problems, sewing and needle work. Two interesting programs were given in assembly, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Miss Sperry's class in story telling was represented by three students who gave short stories for children: Lillian Johnson told the story of "The Little Pink Rose "; Eleanor Simpson, " Rag-by Lug," and Olive Askland gave " Golden Cobwebs." The plays presented by Mr. Hoppe's class were especially good. (Continued on page 2.) Dr. Nash Entertains With Mt. Baker Tales Trie student body was made better acquainted with Mt. Baker at Monday's assembly. Since Mr. Craven could not be. present, as scheduled, Dr. Nash read an article of Mr.^Craven's which appeared in the Mazama Magazine, concerning the origin of Mt. Baker, Mt. Tacoma and the Nooksack River. It proved one of the most delightful assemblies of the year. Dr. Nash holds that we should be very much interested in Mt. Baker, since we live so near and it has proved such a fertile field for Indian myths. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 January 14 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1921 HUNDREDS VISIT NORMAL ON OPEN HOUSE DAY (Continued from page 10 The following cast gave "Six, Who Pass While the Lentils Boil": The Boy Melba Hinds The Queen Esther Cook The Mime Frances Durham The Milkmaid : ...Doris Erickson The Blindman Mary Lewis The Ballad Singer Cecile Stevens The Dreadful Headsman Susy Hicky You Eula Brown Prologue Eunice Washburn Cast for " Come Michaelmas ": John ,Cogbill Richard Newton Mrs. Cogbill Mildred Maude Charity (a neighbor girl) Marion McLaughlin Both plays, were splendidly acted and enthusiastically received.

WELLS ON GLADSTONE The eye of H. G. Wells roaming over that part of the " Outline of History" (Macmillan), lying within the nineteenth century, lights upon Gladstone with no gleam of tenderness. Of Gladstone's famous controversy with Huxley, Wells writes: " He revealed ideas derived from Buffon (died 1788) uncontamin-ated by any later influence." When Gladstone met Charles Darwin " he talked al lthe time of Bulgarian politics, and was evidently quite unaware of the real importance of the man he was visiting." Similarly with Faraday: " The man of science tried in vain to explain some simple piece of apparatus to this fine flower of the parliamentary world. ' But,' said Mr. Gladstone,.' after all, what good is i t ? ' 'Why', sir," said Faraday, doing his best to bring things home tohim, ' presently you will be able to tax i t . '" In fine, to quote another of Wells' sardonic phrases, Gladstone " was educated at Eton College and at Christ Church, Oxford, and his mind never recovered from the process." DID OXFORD EDUCATE? This trenchant and sweeping judgment on the university education of Gladstone's time is the occasion of an interesting exchange of views between H. G. Wells and the editors of the " Outline of History," Professors Gilbert Murray and Ernest Barker. Wells says of tht English universities: " Jews, Roman Catholics, dissenters, skeptics, and all forms of intellectual activity were carefully barred from these almost extinguished lamps of learning. Their mathematical work; was poor, a series of exercises in the mere patience &#8212; games and formulae-writing of lower mathematics; science they despised and excluded, and their staple training was the study, without any archaeology or historical perspective, of the more rhetorical and ' poetic' of the Latin and Greek classics. Such a training prepared men not so much to tackle and solve the problems of life as to plaster them over with more or less apt quotations." OLD VERSUS NEW LEARNING Gilbert Murray's comment on. this diatribe is that the old clasical training was " the education of an aristocratic leisured cass who had not to earn their living. It depended enormously on leisure, " a small hard nucleus of compulsory work, combined with a wide margin of leisure," and was the deliberate antithesis of the modern notion of a curriculum covering al lthe possible subjects of study. This, in the opinion of Gilbert Murray, "is educationally disastrous," while Prof. Barker holds that men with the earlier training " were genuinely and nobly trained for statesmanship." They maintain, therefore, that Peel and Gladstone, who used that leisure in the right way, were not, as Wells asserts, " ignorant" men. Wells, however, is impenitent and reiterates his charge against men " with no knowledge of ethnology, no vision of history as a whole, misconceiving the record of geology, ignorant of the elementary ideas of biological science and modern thought Freda Jensen and literature!"

YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS PICNIC Saturday evening the Young Housekeepers had another one of their good-time meetings in the Normal cafeteria. The evening's entertainment assumed the nature of an indoor picnic. At 6 o'clock forty girls readily disposed of a picnic lunch, after which the girls discussed housekeeping accounts, recipes, and exchanged ideas for saving time and labor, as well as expenses. Miss Wood-ard gave a number of practical and helpful suggestions. The rest of the evening was spent in guessing games and a unique spelling contest. Altogether the evening was a delightful get-acquainted, get-together meeting. Are your e y es strained? Clear vision is no proof that they are not.

They held their first meeting on Friday morning at 9 o'clock. Not a bad idea for some Normalites to form such a club. * # * The students of the grammar grades thoroughly enjoyed the motion pictures of Lincoln in assembly on Friday. * # * An up and coming little lad from the training school visited biology class one afternoon last week, uninvited, to ask the price of coral. It seems that he wanted to know its price because he was planning on going out on an expedition to hunt some for the United States government and wished to find out how much he should get out of it. Incidentally he tried to get Archie to locate the South Sea Isles for him but was unsuccessful. The other members of the class are convinced that the little visitor will one day be a lively debater. B.S. N.S. OLDEST TEACHER DEAD Miss Elizabeth Blanding, of Attleboro, Massachusetts, is dead at the age of 88. She is said to have taught school more years than any other teacher. Her teaching experience began when she was 16 years old, and she taught continuously more than 70 years, retiring only last June. Even after her retirement she taught 14 children to read. &#8212; Current Events. B.S. N.S. Y. W. C. A. Last Thursday the girls of the Y. W. were given a special treat when Dr. McDonald and Miss Salto, lady missionaries from China, spoke of their work in that country. Dr. McDonald told especially of her work in the hospitals, and of the great need of medical work among people on account of their ignorance of proper ways of living and because of their many superstitions. Miss Salto, who for the last couple of years has been assisting Dr. McDonald, told many of her experiences among the people, showing the difficulty of carrying on work, both medical and evangelistic, and getting results. This, also, because of their terrible superstitions. Miss Salto gave an appeal for more workers in all branches of the work, which a missionary must carry on. B.S. N.S. SAGEBRUSHERS The Sagebrush Club called a meeting of its members last Thursday evening for the pui'pose of organizing and entering into the realm of fun. Iva West was elected president; Valentine Ayres vice president; Mr. Bectcher, secretary-treasurer. Plans are now under way for an indoor picnic and mixer. It is hoped that other Normal students who are eligible for this club will sign up before the next business meeting.

Soon they will forget your number. All Normalites were very agreeably surprised last Friday when they suddenly woke up to the fact that our school has the material for a good men's chorus. The number of young men being so small, they have always been very timid about singing in assembly, but they have talent and a number of good voices that, with some intensive training, would make for our school a splendid men's chorus as well as a quartet. Mr. Coughlin has taken such an interest in the men's music, we hope he will soon have for us a large, well trained chorus that we can be proud of. In every activity of the school this year the students have been very loyal in their support of mixers, plays and games. They have responded nobly to the calls for relief money in every drive; and in every way have proved their .loyalty to the " Blue and White." Let us now lend our heartiest support by attending the play, " The Little Princess," which will be presented by the Thespian Club January 22. The cast has been working hard for some time and Mrs. Smith assures us it will be an excellent production. As the admission is so low, it is hoped that every member of the student body will be present and bring a friend. Let us have a crowded house! The Messenger is glad to take this opportunity in behalf of the entire school to congratulate the men on the basketball team Do your best and give credit to those who do better. In every organization there are always those who have the ability to lead. They are the ones who sacrifice for the good of others. When some one is giving his best, the least we can do is to back him up and be loyal. "THE CRAB To the Editor: I suggest that someone establish a " shoe shining parlor " at the Normal for women. I am sure it would be well patronized. What do you think about it? Please let us hear from some one at an early date as to what you think and if agreeable to you we promise to lend our heartiest support. &#8212; A SEXIOR KIDNAPPED &#8212;A PUSSY CAT!

The following is the Indian legend of Mt. Baker, appearing in the article on Mt. Baker by A. J. Craven, the Bell-ingham attorney, in the present number of the Mazama Magazine. This translation from the original Indian story is by Dr. Buchanan, who for years was in charge of the Tulalip Indian School, and an authority on Indian lore of the Northwest. So unanimous was the enjoyment of this myth, when read in assembly by Dr. Nash, and so difficult is it to obtain authentic Indian myths of the Puget Sound, the Messenger is glad to print this one, so each student may have it for future reference: " I tell you Indian story about Kul-shan. Kulshan, that big mountain on Nooksack. Well, I tell you. "Long, long time ago, old Indian man he tell his grandchild what his grand-fadder tell him when he was little boy. I do not know the time, but it was long, long time. Kulshan he grow up fine young man, and git married two wives. One wife, she look very fine. One wife she look very good, she very kind. Kulshan he like 'em both very much, how different no; can tell. "Well, one wife, long time ago, she git three babies. That other wife she git no baby at all, but she very good to Kulshan. She hug up close. Wife who git three babies she no like it. She very mad. She think Kulshan like other woman better; she hug up close, too. She tell Kulshan she have three babies, he should like her most. But Kulshan he say nothing; he just smile little bit. Then this woman, she try fool Kulshan. She tell him she go way. She no want go way, but she want fool Kulshan. She think Kulshan say, ' yes, you mother to my children; don't go way, I love you most.' He like her well, he no want her to go, but he no tell her. Kulshan he very proud. He say, 'You want go way, you go way.' " So she made pack. She think she think she go just little way and he say ' Come back!' She make big pack long time &#8212; flowers, seeds, roots, berries, all nice things there around Kulshan. She go off, long time ago. She stop and look back, but he no tell her come back. She go on again and stand on hill to see Kulshan; she stand on toe-tip, but that hill grow big and high while she look back. But Kulshan he see her all right, sure, but he very proud; he no say, ' Come back!' She go on and on; where she go and look back a row of hills, mountains now, but no so high as Kulshan. Then she stopped long way off. She sure he no want her back. She stand on high hill and reach up high to see him and her children, and that hill grow to high mountain so, she see them plain. She stay there. That woman she mountain now more high than Kulshan. Indian he call that mountain Takhoma. She scatter all the seeds she bi'ing in big pack, flowers, berries, roots and all nice things she bring. She have more now than Kulshan. He see her there now, way far, high mountain. That wife, her name Clear Sky. " Well, that other wife, her name very hard to tell. It means, very pretty girl, just old enough to marry. She stay with him long time. One day she tell him she going to visit her mother. Her mother's home is Hevulch in Indian, but white man say Puget Sound. " ' How you can go home,' Kulshan he say, ' No way, no trail, nothing but rocks, hills and trees.' But he like her well, and she want to go to her mother. He call all the animals with claws &#8212; bears, lions, marmots, beavers, mice and everything that digs, and they dig a long ditch. All the water he turns to this ditch, and it is Nooksack River now. That wife, she go down in big canoe, and when she come to that big water, she leave on every island she go by, a fish, a berry or something good to eat. So all those islands from Nooksack to her mother's home has Indian name of something to eat, something this wife BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building THE PALLAS The Home of Better Candies, Pastries Ice Cream BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building who was going to her mother, left there. She found her mother way out in the water. Then she thought she stand up high in the water so to see Kulshan, but she say, ' No, that other wife she stand up high. I will not stand up high.' She lay down low in the water so that all the peoples could reach her head without climbing. " This wife she stay there; she never go back. She Speiden Island now, and Kulshan live alone. He marry no more. He grew taller, so he could see his wives and his children better, and those children near Kulshan they grow taller, too, so they could see better their father and mother. "Well, I tell you now, what the Indian man, old grandfather tell his grandchild when he was a little boy. I tell you all. You know Kulshan and his two wives and the children, what they are and where they are. I talk no more." B.S.N.S. "Why, my boy! did you fall in that coal hole?" " No, of course not!

The party, including Eva Bond, Josephine Hawley, Catherine Shepherd, Vera Bene-field, Dora Smith, Austin Bond, Harry Smith and Myron Hawley, all reported that they had a very enjoyable evening and would be willing to risk another such skidding episode to attend the next meeting which will be held at Lynden. Mrs. Isabel Wister, a student of Normal in the early days of its organization, has returned to complete work for a diploma.

Yet it is true, by their own concessions: A few, Messers. Philippi, Caskey, Bever, Kolstad, Coughlin and Heckman find recreation in hand ball and volley ball. These games are played under the direction of Mr. Carver. Would you call hoeing potatoes, weeding carrots, coaxing little onions to sprout, not to mention milking a real live cow, relaxation? Mr. Bond and Mr. Hoppe do, and according to their wives, they might hire out as all round " farm hands " at any time in the year. Dr. Miiler gardens some and enjoys it, but he has not schooled himself in the various duties of farm life. Mr. Kibbe is the champion hiker of the faculty. He boasts he can outwalk any man or woman teaching in the Normal. We would like to see a race between Mr. Hunt, who with pride admits he enjoys a strenuous hike, and Mr. Kibbe, just to the top of Chuckanut Mountain and back, then out to the cement plant, ending at Mr. Kolstad's home on the lake. We admit that such a hike would be a bit strenuous for the most of us, but after hearing Mr. Kibbe tell what he has done, we hope to see this event staged in the future. The street cars would go out of business if they depended upon Mr. Kibbe's patronage. He has ridden on a street car but two or three times in the last three or four years. Every Sunday morning, i eleven minutes ? fishing with Mr. he walks a mile (Maybe he's been Bond recently.) Mr. Rindall enjoys literature, a game of whist; Mr. Kolstad likes to dance and Mr. Hunt enjoys the movies (when he's not walking the floor with the twins about 10:30 to 12 P. M.) Mr. Kolstad, being the only bachelor on the faculty, finds great delight in his wigwam &#8212; washing dishes, splitting kindling on cold mornings and crumbing the sheets on his downy bed. We have heard that the daughter of Chief Seattle will join Chief Kolstad in his wigwam on the beautiful shores of Lake Whatcom, in the near future &#8212; but this is a secret and we should not have told it. Mr. Heckman knows how to doctor a Dodge, when it won't go! And puts many precious hours (when he might be recreating) upon polishing its body and tuning its engine. As for Dr. Nash, his time was so occupied when we were gathering data for this expose that we were unable to break through the fortifications of the outer office. However, we don't know whether its recreation or not, but we never pick up a paper but Dr. Nash has delivered an address is going to deliver one, or is chairman of some drive, or is invited to skip across the country to take part in some important meeting &#8212; so what time has he left for leisure? We do know, however, a couple of summers ago, he took a trip through Yellowstone Park by auto, driving all the way from Bellingham and home again &#8212; and he said he enjoyed it.

The following reports were given at the meeting of the Business Girls Wednesday, January 5th: "Minimum Wage," Thelma Court; "Marshall Field," Ethel Chisholm; "National. Cash Register Co.," Alta Cress; "Swift Company," Ada Stevens. Interesting, thoughtful and profitable discussions followed each. It was unanimously voted that to work for either of these concerns would be more of a privilege than a task. B. S.N.S. In the last Bookman, an interesting story is told of Rudyard Kipling. While living in Vermont, a neighbor wrote him saying he heard Kipling sold his stories at one dollar per word. He enclosed a dollar and wanted a word. Kipling wrote back " Thanks." The neighbor then sold the word for two dollars and wrote Kipling enclosing fifty cents &#8212; his share of the profits. !;&#187;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226; Patronize Messenger Advertisers &#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;&#8226;ril CLYDE BANKS Does Our Kodak Finishing STUDENTS' CO-OP PHONE 648 RES.

An almost omnious silence prevailed, broken only by the scratching of a pen or the occasional rustle of paper. The stenographer conferred with the bookkeeper, a puzzled frown on her brow. A miscellaneous assortment of notebooks, crayons, textbooks, class pins, etc., like a museum collection, bespoke very lax memories somewhere. The door opened. A girl entered.

COACH CARVER BUYS ALL NEW UNIFORMS After winning the non-conference championship of the northwest in football and nothing in general in basketball, our attentions are turned to baseball. There is a great deal of material in school. Two of the boys, Parkers and Rankin, are signed up-in the Northwest baseball league. These are but two of the pitchers. About eight are going to turn out. The State Normal team will be one of the best equipped teams in the Northwest. During the trip of the basketball team to Tacoma and Lacy, Coach Carver stopped at Seattle and ordered new uniforms and other baseball material. The suits, which were ordered are of the same style and material as those worn by the Seattle club in fhe Pacific Coast League. The suits which were iised last year will be issued to the second team. Turnouts are being held in the large gym, but as soon as the weather permits, the team will turn out at the old Elks' park. Due to the fart that the Norcnal grounds are in no condition for baseball, the team is compelled to use the old park, but according to reports, the Normal field will be in fine shape by summer. B. S.

Saturday, March 18, at Edens Hall, at least 200 persons are expected. The fact that the committee refuses to divulge any detail in regard to the program sets anticipation on edge and guarantees pleasant surprises for those in attendance. Arrangements are being made to give Dr. Nash the best banquet ever tendered him. There is also to be a faculty farewell banquet in. honor of Dr..Nash on Monday, March 20, at Edens Hall. Seven hundred girls are attending the Bellingham State Normal School&#8212;Seven hundred picked beauties of the Evergreen State. Now;, why can't the Tulip Queen come from our school? She can and WILL. The only thing necessary is to pick the candidate, and the school will do the rest. If Ave get some live, enterprising clubs to back our candidate, it will help immensely, but that will be forthcoming. The matter before us is, "Who shall be the Queen?" A Normal girl, of course. Then the question, "Who is to be the Normal girl?" That is for you to decide. In the back of the Messenger you Avill find a ballot. Write the name of your ideal queen in the blank space and place in the Messenger box TODAY.

MANAGER ELECTED T ROY TWEIT CHOSEN FOR THIRD QUARTER At the regular meeting of the i3oard of Control, Roy Tweit was elyected Athletic Manager for the third quarter 1922. He was recommended by Coach S. E. Carver for the position. It has not been the policy of the school to have a student manager, the coach usually being athletic manager. During the past two quarters Mr. Carver found himself flooded with work and brought about the election of a student manager. The position carries some responsibility with it as the manager helps with arranging games and takes care of all miscellan-efcus matters connected with track and baseball. The manager accompanies the team on all its trips. Kolstadt Appointed. &#8226; Arthur Kolstadt was appointed to the Student Board of Control taking the place of Mr. Bond as factuly advisor. Mr. Bond is having his vacation this quarter. Mr. Kolstadt baa served several times on the Board and can be counted on in all emergencies. Debate Entertainment. Esther Cook was appointed at the Board meeting to arrange for a program on the night of the debate with the Cheney &#8226;.Normal on March 31. DR. FRYE OF U. OF W TALKJEDNESDAY THE KINDS OF SCD3NE FOR GRADE TEACHERS" Dr. Frye, professor of botany at the University of Washington, addressed the student body Wednesday. He gave a very interesting talk on "The Kinds of Science for Grade Teachers," in which he stated that the teachers could be of vast help to a community by taking interest in outdoor plants and animals. Conspicuous plants and animals are the kind children between the ages of five and fifteen notice. Recognition anil comparison of plants and animals are two things which should be taught children. Dr. Fry deplored the fact that there are no books on western plant and animal life suitable for nature study for children. He plead for research work in this field and said it was the task of a Normal student to write such a book. Dr. Fry's concluding statement was, "It is not the great who are doing things, but those who -are doing things are great." B. S. N. S. Spring comes and with it also comes many new students to our Normal. The third quarter opened March 13. Many students had registered previous to this date and several hundred more enrolled this week.

Von see, Paul married a Normal student several years ago. Mr. Gooding made three trips to New Ze.nand and it is said that the book was writtin while at the home of a friend in Sacramento, California. At present he is the star reporter on the Bellingham Herald. The book is richly illustrated with pictures of rivers, mountains, Jakes and native tribes. One interesting story- is told of a native leader, Kua, who led his people to believe that he possessed divine power. Therefore, it was his privilege to have four wives, while the others were allowed but one apiece. As an instance of his influence, Kua announced that on a certain day he would waik on the river at Whakatane. A great crowd collected to see him. Standing on the bank Una asked: "Uo \ou beiieve .1 can walk on the water V" "Yes," shouted a number of natives.

The men were tired and weary, many of them but half clothed, all of them ragged and most of them half starved. Napoleon, standing before thesle disheartened men spoke, and his speech&#8212;-'one of the shortest ever made in the history of mankind&#8212;has come down to us through the years: ''Beyond the Alps lies Italy." It is needless to state how his half naked, half starved and poorly equipped troops ascended St. Bernard's Pass and despite the snow and ice&#8212;despite all obstacles that stood in their way&#8212;crossed the Alps into Italy. What a struggle it must have been! But what a struggle awaited them! What student of history will ever forget the battle of Marengo. Who will ever forget how Napoleon's men, with practically no equipment except the determination and will to do, won the day. Beyond the mountain of struggle lies the valley of success.' Surely the person who really struggles to get an education, who is able to overcome the obstacles that stand in his way, will be able to achieve success in life's battles that follow. Students! What matter if we must work five or six hours each day after school ? What matter if our spare moments are few ? What matter if we must burn the midnight oil ?... What matter if we must forego certain luxuries? What matter if our clothes are old and worn? What matter if our burdens seem almost too heavy to bear? "Beyond the Alps lies Italy." &#8212;B. S. N.

Not only that, but "Has she personality, is she popular, would people looking at her for the first time say, 'She is an ideal Queen' ". As we can not hope to elect our candidate by Normal support only, we must have a girl who is willing to work towards the goal of the sovereignty of the City of Bellingham for three days. She must have ambition enough to appear before vari'ous clubs and organizations of the city to enlist their support, she must overlook extreme modesty and bashfulness and work for her position as Queen of the Tulip. It is very probable that a local girl at W. S. N. S. would have a better chance, but that matter is left to the student body. &#8212;B.S.N. S.&#8212; Attention is called to the section of the Messenger given over to Edens Hall activities this week. This is to be a regular feature of the paper and we feel assured that it will be welcomed by all Normal students. It will directly, and perhaps vitally, interest at least 114 students, and undoubted^ will hold the attention of several hundred more. B. S. N. S.

With weeping eyes and mournful hearts, we witnessed the departure of the greater part of the Edenites. But for twenty peppy left-overs to be grouchy, just because we weren't going home, was absurd so we just packed up our troubles and had a good time. There was the night that ghosts really walked in our rooms as a result of the wierd stories told in the dimly lighted beau parlor. Our serenade was a grand (?) success, noted especially for its silence. One evening was pleasantly spent in the dining room around the open fire. We hope the boys who were our guests enjoyed the games, marshmallows and peanuts as much as we did. Even Miss Meek saw fit to leave us for two whole days and a night, which proves that we were no ordinary group.

Edens Hall LESSONS IN ETIKETT 1. How to attend Assembly. First, go 'home after your mail ajul come in four minutes after the bell has rung. Disregard Mr. Grady's outstretched hand and march halfway clown the aisle before you realize that a special number is being given. Hesitate, look around, drop a book, giggle, and when everybody is looking at you, decide to go on. Go into your seat from the wrong aisle, causing seven girls to rise, whereas only two would have had to rise to admit you at the other end. Subside into your seat with a slam; open your letter, and begin to read, rustling the sheets and making audible comments to your chum. Pay no attention to the black looks cast at your from all directions. During the announcements, tell her about the dance you attended last night and the perfectly wonderful man you danced with. Take a nap during the speech. When the bell rings, go out with the training school teachers, remarking, "'Gee, assembly sure is dry today." Next morning when someone asks you why you missed club meeting, and tells you that it was announced in assembly, tell her, "Good night. I never heard it, and I was there all the time."&#8212;E. C. P.

The first part of the week was spent in Seattle with relatives and friends. While in Parkland she played with the Parkland College basketball team and therein received her dark orb from her opponent on the Athletim team. "It was worth it, however," she states.

Trousers were much in evidence, both on boys and girls. Flannel shirts, sweaters, boots, in fact anything but what might be expected.to be worn at supper, were to be seen. The persons thus arrayed seemed to be in a hurry for supper to start and when it did, seemed to be in more of a hurry for it to be finished. All records for fast eating were broken and the "hard boiled" looking gang immediately made their excuses and left. Persons not in on the secret by diligent inquiry, received the information that the "gang" were going to go thru the coal mine that evening. Florence Porter was at the head of the party as a friend from her home town had vol-untereed to take some of her friends on a tour of inspection. The party included Min Collins, - Willa Lowman, Blanche Davey, ElHen Reep, Esther Skrondal, Beatrice Morrison Mildred Carman. Chauncey Davis, George Newell and Harold Smith. ' ; &#8226; ' . ' After, the short delays, which are always incident to such an expedition, the .party started. Of course they missed the Garden Street car so they walked to the Court House line, Avhere they finally boarded a car. After riding as far as they could, they decided to walk the rest of the way, a distance of about a mile. They arrived at the mine about seven o'clock, where they met Mr. James Ross, who had arranged the trip. Here the members of the party each received a lamp. Another short delay ensued until the arrival of Supt. Cormine, who Avas to conduct the party thru the mine. When he arrived the party boarded a string of empty coal cars downward bound. The comments made during the downward trip were varied, some wanted to go slower, some faster and some didn't care how fast they went just so they got there. The ride ended at the second level, .which was about one thousand feet down the slope. Here all the members of the party registered and then the tour of inspection began. First, 'they went down the slope a short distance and then turned off into a drift on the right. They "followed this to the end. The members seemed to be greatly surprised to see that there was coal on every side. After retracing their steps a short ways they turned off into another drift and there saw some of the miners at .work. Some" of their fondest illusions were shattered. It is true $hat they encountered several patint mules, hauling their loads, but, the miners themselves were the chief source of disillusionment. Insetad. of drilling by hand and swinging picks, as the visitors had expected, thty were using the very latest compressed air drill's. After several of the "girls had tried their hand at the. "Jack" they left "Mabel's Room," as their guide informed them it was called, and went on down the slope five hundred feet to the next level. Here much the same things were seen as before, and aftr inspecting the drifts on this level they went on down to the fourth level. Here they saw the "Iron Swede" at work. This was a compressed air shovel, which was used to load the coal into the cars. From this they went to the "Potato Patch," the lowest point in the- mine. This was three thousand feet down the slope or about six hundred feet vertical. After viewing this they started on their climb to the second level where they were to again take the cars and ride to the surface at nine o'clock. Enroute they were treated to a thrill, as their guide stopped them in the mouth of a drift in which some blasting was going on. He also showed them the new quarters then under construction for the mules. Several members of the party expressed a desire to stay there, as they were beginning to feel the effects of so much walking. At last, however, they arrived at the second level again where their cars were waiting for them. The ride to the surface provd to be much more thrilling than the one going down as the speed was much greater. When they arrived again in fresh air, all breathed a sigh of relief and then hastened to the lamp-house to dispose of their lamps. Here it was discovered that every member of the party was taking a sample of the coal home with them. However most of it was in the form of black hands and faces, so the superintendent did not object. After thanking Mr. Cormine and Mr. Ross for taking them on such an interesting as well as instructive trip they started for home. Miss Beatrice Morrison invited the "would-be coal diggers" to &#8226; a "feed," which was very much appreciated. The party then separated, tired and happy, and each expressing the thought in his own words that it was "some" trip. SENionfiir At 11 o'clock on Wednesday the officers of the Senior class for the third quarter were elected. Harold Smith, graduate of Anacortes high school and former student at the University of Washington,, was elected to. the office of president. Mabel Miller, of Bellingham, was chosen for the position of vice president. Mrs. Edna Anstett, of Bellingham, was re-elected treasurer. Jessie Macomber, of Tacoma, is the secretary for this quarter. The matter of the dedication of the Klipsun was discussed but nothing definite was decided on.

Chichester as Sir Jasper Thorndyke;, these are the persons who furnish the sentiment. "Rosemary" is quaint with the styles and manners of old England of the early nineteenth century. It is clever in situation and abounds in humorous lines and moments of real sentiment. Old memories, old loves, old friends, mingle in this play with love's young dream, with the sharp and poignant passions of youth, and with the lovable foibles of manneristic old age. Mr. Parker, master of the art of depicting England of Dickens' time, when life went slowly and sedately, has fashioned in "Rosemary" a delightful picture of the period.

Among the girls who enjoyed the wonderful sunrise from Chuckanut were, Florence Nicholson, Anne Flakoy, Lau-rine Keeler, Luella Moore, Thelma Han-ton, Maude Withers, Grace Van Houten, and Helen Case, from Gerald's Hall. After breakfast they decided to search for Lost Lake. They spent several hours exploring a wonderful moss-grown forest. They found a huge rock cave that might have once been the home of dwarfs, or other wee folk. However, the lake is still lost. After climbing back to the top of Chuckanut, they went home by wav of State Park. B. S. N. S. MRS. SPERRY AND "Y. W."

Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. Leona Kamb, Lorena Allen, and Clare McReavy, assisted by Bill Benson as water carrier, prepared and served a dainty lunch. After lunch Genevieve Moores and Miss McMeen, assisted by several others, washed the dishes in such a short time that it was wondered how clean the dishes were. They all then "wended their weary way" through the woods to the car line, and arrived home tired, but happy. tui-ers were forced to rest on the way up.. Some built campfires and indulged in a nap. The Jenkins Hall girls were found peacefully reposing about half way up the hill: If progress upward was slow, it is also true that the descent was considerably expedited in a number of cases. One instance of this occurred when a number of. students started down a steep incline. Witnesses testify to the fact that they scarcely set foot on ground until they reached their final landing-place. Others adopted a saner method:, but! one which was also a timersaving device. They slid down a water pipe! Among those who deserve special credit for endurance, was our friend, Mr. Bond. He made the hill in nineteen minutes. Carroll Haeske also merits special mention. He was found huddling up to a fire, trying to make himself believe he was miserable. B. S. N. S: ELECTRICITY Fishing Season Opens April 15th Are you prepared to coax the finny tribe from his haunts?

Housework done by electricity! Cooking, baking, even mixing the bread, cleaning, dusting&#8212;I should say undusting&#8212; sewing, laundering, ironing, heating the rooms, cooling and ventilating, them, and playing the piano. Electric blankets are used, that prevent pneumonia, grippe, and other sicknesses from becoming serious. If one of the children has taken cold at school, he has a good electric warming up, with a specially woven blanket, that can be regulated to just the required temperature. These blankets are arranged to turn off the power automatically, when a certain heat is obtained, and turn on again at a stated interval. But consider the lite these farmers lead on their electrically equipped ranches! Hothouse running all winter; vegetables for the house and to sell at any season. Hens never frozen out just at the beginning of high prices on eggs. Cows milked, brushed, and washed by electricity. Vacuum cleaners of special make for farm buildings, as well as for the house.

This vitamin is found most abundantly in cod liver oil and the liver oils of certain other fishes, also in butter fat and the fats of egg yolks and the fats contained in the glandular organs of animals, as the liver, kidney, thymus, etc. It is very abundant also in the leaves of such plants as spinach, turnip, and beet tops, alfalfa and clover leaves, and to a lesser extent in the thick leaves, such as cabbage, lettuce, and Brussel sprouts. All leaves which are edible are good sources of the vitamin A. It is not found to any great extent in cereal grains or in peas, beans, and other seeds. The vegetable oils, without exception, are very low or entirely free from this substance. Water-soluble B, or vitamin B, was the first of the vitamins to be discovered. It is associated with the con-dions known as polyneuritis. This condition is characterized by a more or less genera] paralysis. It is not only the nervous system which is damaged when there is a lack of this vitamin in the food, for the muscles of the digestive Keep a KODAK RECORD of Your School Days and Have Your Films Developed by CLYDE BANKS PHOTO SHOP Tulip Votes Given Finishers for the Co-Op.

The vitamin B is abundant in many of our common foods. The germ portion of seeds, yeast, leafy vegetables, glandular organs of animals, etc., are especially good sources of it. In fact it is to be found in so many foods that it is more satisfactory to list those in which it does not occur, or is found only in traces. The sugars and starches, molasses and commercial glucose, and all the fats of both animal and vegetable origin are entirely lacking in the vitamin B. Those cereal products which represent the highly refined materials offered for human consumption in such large quantities, such as polished rice, white flour, the degerminated corn meal now sold in stores, are quite lacking in this vitamin. The anti-scorbutic vitamin, or vitamin C, is the one which protects us against scurvey. In scurvey the capillary blood vessels are broken down in many places in the tissues so that the blood is spilled out and permeates the tissues, making them hemorrhagic. Fresh foods, such as lettuce, cabbage, lemons, and tomatoes are excellent sources of this substance, whereas the cereal grains, such as wheat, oats, corn, as well as lacking in it. It is of special importance peas and beans and cooked meats, are to note that all cooked foods, or foods which have been preserved in any way, are either devoid of the vitamin C, or else are very uncertain sources of it. &#8212;&#8212;B. s. N. S.~ REMEMBER THE PIE SALE. B. S. N. S. "THE INFERNAL FEMININE" OR "WHY BOYS GO WRONG" (A spasmodic allegory by "Tut"). "My gosh, Jack!" Harold Fratclub was speaking to the studious one seated at a table; which was littered with papers and books. "Tonight is Friday and you've got a bid to the Mu Kow Mu hop. Why in thunder don't you get a date? It's not too late yet." John Phibate, Junior at Yell College, glanced up from his Cicero and replied nervously, "I did go to one two weeks ago, but I didn't enjoy myself in the least." "Well, you bone-head, why don't you drag some Co-ed. Every time you go to a dance, which is decidedly seldom, you spend all your time in talking to the profs that are there. You ought to get enough of them during the week. Then why, I ask you&#8212;why do you always stag it out?" John marked his book carefully, removed his horn-rimmed glasses, and smiled. 'T like to stag' whenever I do go out because there are no taxi and after-dinner expenses. Then, too,r gt;I can leave whenever I please. You must admit that has its advantages. Then, moreover, I am not continually compelled to manufacture a line, as you call it, or listen to the girl tell of her last date or the dances she has been forced to refuse." "Oh Lord," groaned Fratclub. "You get the rubber oar. Well, I guess I'll go; my woman ought to be ready by now." Harold Fratclub left his room-mate in a meditative mood. He picked up his copy of Cicero, but threw it down again, and remarked dispairngly, "I wish I had a date." Just then Horace Stacbmb, the "Delta's 200 HATS CHOICE $4.95 LOWER PRICE BASEMENT shiek, burst into the room, "Where's Harold?" he asked. "He just went out to the Data Nu Dame house." "This is the bunk&#8212;you're the only one left, and you won't do. But, perhaps&#8212; stand up. Fine! You'll save the day yet&#8212;come along." In a few minutes -John Phibate was climbing into a tuxedo. "What is the idea of all this," he asked. "Now, for the love of mud, don't hump your shoulder. Here, take off those goggles, and comb your hair like mine. This is the situation. We got a date with the classiest jane on the campus, but her sister entered today and Marion told me to find someone for her and&#8212; By Jove! Phibate, you're a regular Bureau Brummel!" John was indeed a changed man. He was resplendent in the tuxedo. He stared in a mirror and indulged in a long, egotistical smile. The evening was a Utopian one as far as John Phibate was concerned. Marion's sister, Loretta, was a beauty, and the woman-hater fell in love for the first time. She danced wonderfully. She could actually follow John's hesitating and uncertain movements. She listened attentively to his discourse on the Epicurean theory and actually seemed interested. (End of Part One&#8212;To be continued in next issue of the Messenger). B. S. N. S.

HELPFUL NOTES FROM THE LIBRARY Miss Wilson has now obtained a file of the complete diplomatic correspondence between the United States and England during the Revolutionary War. The task was a difficult one for the material had to be collected from different sources. Miss Wilson is at present attempting to obtain a collection of all treaties that the United States has'signed with other countries. One of the late volumes of history added to the library, is upon the opening up of four large transcontinental railroads. Complete sets of. the Oregon Historical Association papers, Washington Historical Association papers, and the Magazine of Western History, have been procured for the Normal library. The Magazine of Western History was published for twenty years, but was discontinued some time ago. The magazine is particularly interesting and valuable, because it is a contemporaneous history of the state of Washington. The first two sets also furnish valuable source material upon current western history.

Lack of language is a lack of the means of communication, and of thought itself. Dealing with English in its relation to the training of teachers, this committee points out how necessary it is to raise the standard of English in admitting teachers to the training colleges. Speech training should be an important subject, and an oral test should form an essential part of the examination in English of all teachers. Teachers, more than others, must exercise great influence upon speech. . WORDS USED INCORRECTLY Acceptation for acceptance. Don't say: The man's acceptation of the office.

At the sound of the alarm, the rats scampered to their respective homes and fourteen sleepy-eyed, tousle-headed Normal girls began preparations for a hike up Chuckanut, despite the fact that four of the said fourteen had retm-ned from the clam-bake at 11:45 the night before. The trail was struck at 4 a. m. and the steady, swinging stride of the hikers brought them to the top of Chuckanut at 6 a. m. There breakfast, consisting of link-sausage, hot-cakes and coffee, was prepared. Each girl took her turn as cook. Those who really succeeded in "flapping" their hot-cakes without the aid of knife, were Gladys Shahan, Genevieve Evon and La Pearl Moore. Various stunts were performed by the-hikers, affording entertainment for the rest. Suddenly some one shouted, "A bear! A bear!" When the excited girls looked through their field glass, they discovered their own Alice Branbury, three-fourths up one of the tallest trees. The Book of Etiquette was revised by Alice McGill, Mae Phinney, Esther Ring, Bessie Williamson, and Lillian Corder-nian. Estelle and Rose Larsen, Mae Wamsley, Vea Smith, and Anna Mid-gaarden gave the Danse of the Nymphs. By arriving at 11:30 at Edens Hall, the hikers had time enough to prepare themselves to do justice to a good Sunday dinner. All declared themselves to be in trim for the Marathon. . &#8212;B. S. N.

This is a department of the school where some of the work done is always on display, and interested students may gain much by visiting the different art class rooms at open periods to see the work of other classes and students.

Competition will be keen, as many other schools am entering men. Those trying out this week are: Han-na. Bowman, Walling, West, Vander fonl, Hoggatt, Abbey, Dawson, and Ryan. Six men are all that will make the trip, so the men are making cinders fly in order to qualify. B. S. N. S. Miss Zoe Shaw, supervisor in Kalamazoo city schools, will assist in the Primary Methods department of this school during the summer. With this additional help, it will be possible to give more attention than ever before to the work in this department. Miss Montgomery, who expects to remain for the first half of the summer session only, will teach the advanced classes, in. addition to the regular primary method courses. Mr. John L.

Mr. Lounsbury is a graduate of Stanford University, with his master degree taken from that institution. He is now serving as principal of the Burnett Elementary S.'hool at Long Beach, Cal. In addition to the courses in School Administration, Mr. Lounsbury offers courses in Elementary School Curriculum and Educational Measurements. Superintendent Wiedman and Superintendent Goss, of Bremerton, will teach most of the classes in School Management and School Law.

The students would like to have a better system of advertising school activities than is at present used. Many could not find any definite directions about time and place of meeting, route, and other details. The notice of the trip contained in the Messenger was not placed conspicuously; and for the benefit of inexperienced students, who do not always get the entire paper read before Sunday night, it would be well in the future for a special note, giving directions, to be inserted in some prominent place in the paper. A notice on the main landing, or a large poster, would attract many Freshmen. &#8212;Mrs. Johnson. B. S. N. S.

STUDIO ART CLUB HAVE PICNIC The Studio Art Club had a most enjoyable time on Saturday, April 14, when the Breakey home was thrown open to them for their picnic supper. About 6 o'clock, everyone partook of the bounteous repast of hot baked beans, sandwiches, salads, pickles, cake, and coffee, with a heartiness that was pleasant to see. Everything was delicious and appetites were appreciative. After supper a unique "Art Exhibit" was arranged by a committee. Interest ran high in trying to link the number of each exhibit with its correct name, on the lists furnished the "visitors." Miss Druse won the prize&#8212;a carefully wrapped package, containing some tempting "weiners." Among the games played, was "Barnyard." The joke was on Miss Armstrong, when she lustily imitated a chanticleer. All came away with a warm feeling about the heart for Miss Breakey and her mother, and a stronger feeling of comradeship toward each other. B. S. N. S. G. Bond: "What'll we do?" R.

SMILES 'N CHUCKLES Candy Shop NORMAL BOYS HAVEv STRENUOUS TRIP "Red" Opstad was to blame for it. He has a pair of legs, that&#8212;were they lis-sected from his body and rigged with rounds&#8212;would provide a ladder with which one could almost reach the second story window. Last Saturday he seemed to be possessed with an obsession to use! them. . &#8226; Not content with reaching the top of Chuckanut in the Marathon race, the boy with the carrot top pressed on with the slogan&#8212;"Lost Lake or Bust." Yielding to the excitement of the hour, three other fellows that were nuts enough not to know better, undertook to follow "Red." George Stevens, who claimed the superior knowledge of having previously been to the lake, volunteered as guide, but due to his avordupois, he brought up the rear most of the time. Of course it was useless for any one to try to outdistance "Red." Without the least idea as to where he was going, he led through a country where open spots were as scarce as hen's teeth, until we stumbled onto Rice Lake. Here it was that George Stevens remembered they were selling all-day suckers down town, so he decided he wanted one of them worse than he wanted to see Lost Lake. But the remaining three obtained the guidance of the boss of the men that are working on a project at Rice Lake,' and went rambling on. On the way up the hill that lies between Rice and Lost lakes', they saw a cougar track, and then, just a little above it, they found the bed of a deer. Well, to make a long story short, the boy with the "brick-colored dome" got to see the beautiful scenery in the region Lost Lake, and he didn't "Bust" getting there. And, if anybody wishes to see. the beautiful scenery in the region of Lost Lake, get either Ed Opstad or Albert Halverson to guide you there. - B . S. N.-S. THE ELECTRIC WORLD Modern methods have reached even the bells of Notre Dame. The chimes of the old Parisian cathedral have been rung by human power for generations, but now electric motor is to take the burden-inherited by a woman from a long line of chiming ancestors. The chimes, which have been heard infrequently since 1915, will henceforth be much used. TEACHER TRAINING IN OUR COUNTY "I have great faith in the institutions of training teachers in this country," is a statement that was brought forth by Miss Roberts in her lecture in assembly on Monday. In a forceful and striking way, Miss Roberts gave concrete examples, illustrating the similarities and dissimilarities of the various types of teacher training institutions. In order to bring out the characteristics of the types of schools, various states represent, the speaker mentioned the following school systems: The West "Virginia, Ohio, and the Wisconsin. Examples of types that have to compete with the class and race problems, were given. Miss Roberts, being an easterner, intimated that we were more familiar than she was with the normal school that is typical of the west..... We realized more than before, that normal schools in different parts of the country, differ in many ways. The last half of the assembly hour on Monday was given over to arouse enthusiasm for our Tulip Queen. Bob Tunstal, Mr. O'Rourke, and Mrs. Irish together with President Waldo, who inspired interest and enthusiasm, were forceful and energetic leaders and instigators in arousing the student body to action. Organization, cooperation, and loyalty to our Tulip Queen, was the ultimate expression of each speaker. With reference to the lack of energy that is being put forth. Bob Tunstal says, "It's a problem of human nature." Mr. O'Rourke says, "It is not a matter of a cold in the head, but a cold in the feet." Mrs. Irish, in her optimistic manner, brushed away the dark cloud of pessimism that prevailed after the two former speeches, and said, "There is still time. We must organize a 100 per cent committee. Every student should back our Tulip Queen to the best of his ability." I t was urged that every student and faculty member do his "bit" in boosting our candidate. B. S. N. S.

N E T Endowments plummet During the past four years, Western's endowment revenue has steadily risen. Next year, that four-year streak will abruptly end. Infograph by Brandon Kays information from the Western Foundation During the next few weeks The Western Front will be taking an extended look into the financial crisis Western is facing, beginning with its endowments. , Nicholas Johnson THE WESTERN FRONT Western Washington University foundation officials are scrambling. As a result of a nearly 30 percent loss in all invested endowments over the past year, they must fill an 80 percent loss in endowment revenue intended for undergraduate scholarships . Western's endowment revenues have declined $737,000 since last year and the market value of those endowments has fallen by roughly $8 million. Students will soon begin filling out applications for scholarships through their academic departments, as they do every year. But this time, significantly fewer scholarships will be offered because significantly less money will be available. Last year, the distribution of $910,000 to academic departments resulted in 515 scholarships for undergraduate students. Stephanie Bowers, Western's vice president for university advancement, said she does not know how many scholarships will be awarded this year, but she said it will be noticeably less because this year's endowed scholarships amount to just $173,000. "I think the hardest thing about this whole situation.. .is the level of uncertainty," Bowers said. "It's just all so uncertain right now." Western's Endowment The Western Foundation, a non-profit organization that raises private dollars for the university's advancement, defines an endowment as a gift worth at least $20,000. Whether it's a piece of property or money from a life savings account, Western usually invests the gift in stocks or bonds. Each year the foundation takes 4.5 percent of each endowment's revenue and distributes the money to a specific scholarship or academic department program based on the donor's wishes. Eighty percent of the Western's foundation endowment revenues support undergraduate scholarships and the other 20 percent is distributed to departments on campus for programs, such as hosting lee see ENDOWMENT page 4 Three finalists for VP position overlooked Dan Balmer THE WESTERN FRONT In a turn of events, Kathy Wetherell the assistant Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs (VPBFA) will be appointed interim VPBFA&#226;&#8364;&#8221;not one of the three finalists who visited Western. "It's a compliment to be asked," Wetherell said. "I have a nervous excitement to juggle all the aspects this job requires." In an e-mail sent out to Western faculty Feb. 25, President Bruce Shepard said due to the economic challenges facing Western, not choosing one of the three finalists was in the best interest of Western. "Our immediate need is to address looming major budget-reductions in Business and Financial Affairs and at the university&#226;&#8364;&#8221; knowledgeably doing so with minimal damage to the units involved and to Western," Shepard said. This is the second administration position where none of the finalists were chosen, after Shepard announced earlier this quarter that the provost position remains unfilled. On March 24, George Pierce plans to retire after 20 years of serving Western as VPBFA. Wetherell volunteered to fill the position on an interim basis between Pierce's retirement and when the new VP would be hired. Shepard said the best available option, after a reassessment of Western's needs, was to ask Wetherell to continue serving as interim VP for a more extended see VPBFA page 3 Search for dean of Western's largest college nears end Kipp Robertson THE WESTERN FRONT The search for the dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) is nearing its end after interim dean Brent Carbajal drew an impressive crowd at his open-forum presentation on Feb.26. On the heels of extending Kathy Weth-erell's interim period as vice president of business and financial affairs, Western officials now have the choice to select the current interim dean or two finalists who openly expressed unfamiliarity with Western for the open CHSS position Carbajal's presentation was two days after fellow finalist, Jeffrey Gilger, associate dean for discovery and faculty development in the College of Education at Purdue University in Indiana, presented on Feb. 24. Associate professor of classical studies and member of the search committee for dean of CHSS Diane Johnson introduced Carbajal at the beginning of his presentation. Johnson said since Carbajal was named chair of the department of modern and classical languages in 2000, the department has thrived. "I consider it our golden age in the language department since Carbajal became chair," Johnson said as she introduced Carbajal. Carbajal has been serving as interim dean for CHSS since Ron Kleinknecht retired July 1, 2008..

In Shepard's e-mail he said Wether-ell's interim position will now probably last 12 months-while a second national search is performed. ' As VPBFA, Kathy Wetherell's annual salary will be $160,975. Shepard said it would have been challenging to have a sequence of leadership change around the same time the. annual budget is due. "This institution is in a huge transition," Wetherell said. "The leadership here has been very deliberate about managing that transition." The VPBFA serves as the chief financial and business officer for Western and is a member of the President's council. Some of the job responsibilities are to provide a number of departments with strategic direction, including: ensuring the financial integrity oif Western, acquiring state capital appropriations to address institutional needs and giving full accountability to the public on the utilization of public resources. The VPBFA is primarily responsible for managing services that include Financial and Business Services, the Capital Budget Office* Environmental Health and Safety, Facilities Management, Human Resources and Public Safety. A search advisory committee was formed on August 20 to hire a replacement for Pierce, who had originally planned to retire in December, but extended his retirement until March 24. Dean of the College of Business and Economics Brian Burton is the chair of the search committee. Wetherell, who has worked at Western for one year, brings stability, leadership, great communication and experience to the position, Burton said. Burton said the eight-person search committee narrowed a list of approximately 30 applicants to eight that met most of the qualifications they listed in advertising the position. The first required qualification was an applicant with a bachelor's degree and a minimum of 10 years of experience directly related to financial administrative management. The committee conducted phone interviews with the eight finalists and chose three to visit Western for a personal interview. During search committee meetings, the panel put together a list of names of candidates who, Shepard said in the em-mail, had strong leadership qualities. Janice Stroh, Craig Morris and Nathaniel Brown were the three finalists who visited Western to interview for the VP position. The search committee interviewed Stroh in early January, followed by Morris on Jan. 29 and Brown on Feb. 5. When asked about budget cuts during his forum, Morris said he was not a proponent of across-the-board cuts. Brown, who has an experienced financial background, did not have any experience working at public universities. As assistant VPBFA, Wetherell supervises the financial and business support services for Western. From 2001 to 2008, she was the associate vice president for finance and administration at the Uni-versity of Redlands, in California. Much of her experience is in facilities management, one of the functions she will manage as interim VPBFA. "What makes this job difficult is that it does have so many functions," Wetherell said. "When you try to fill this position you're asking the candidate to be masters of a lot of different functions." Wetherell said she does not have supervisory experience in the areas of environmental health and public safety, but said she will learn as she goes. She said the job would be more daunting if it wasn't for a great slate of function directors in those areas, namely Gayle Shipley, director of environmental health and safety and Randy Stegmeier, Chief of University Police. "[Wetherell] realizes because we encompass so many broad professions that you can't expect to be an expert in all things," Pierce said. "You need to be a good manager, bring the best skills out of people and work as a team, and she knows how to do that." Wetherell said she has been able to observe how Pierce manages and said she has a similar style. "He has a thoughtful way of leading," Wetherell said. "He has a compassionate, empowering management style." Wetherell said she also thinks she has a similar philosophy as President Shepard, who thinks about things at a strategic level. It is better to cut strategically and not make everybody else suffer equally, Wetherell said. Pierce said the biggest challenge for Wetherell, who begins the job in March, will be the budget cuts expected from the Washington State Legislature. Wetherell said she had experience with budget cuts while working in higher education back in California. She said the cuts were worse compared to the numbers talked about at Western. When she was the financial manager for facilities management at the University of California Riverside campus, she said she had to cut $1 million out of a $7 million budget. She said she is familiar with how budget cuts come down and with imposing reductions. Few issues will take her by surprise during Western's budget cuts, she said. "This institution has never really had to do a budget cut of this magnitude," Wetherell said. "Either we are going to make everybody share the pain and cut across the board, or we are going to be strategic and start with the lowest level priority and start from there." photo by Hailey Tucker THE WESTERN FRONT Current assistant VPBFA Kathy Wetherell will take over for George Pierce March 24. ---------- Page 4 ---------- 4 I NEWS Friday -February 27,20091 The Western Front ENDOWMENT: Western not the only state university facing a decline from .1 ture series, buying computers, paying for travel expenses or holding special conferences. The foundation also accepts non-endowed gifts, which are not invested but instead designated as a lump sum for either scholarships or programs. These gifts can support scholarships, but are not considered part of endowment revenues because they are not invested. When a donor creates a non-endowed scholarship it is referred to as an annual scholarship and can be renewed each year, Bowers said. Annual scholarships can be created in any amount but the minimum for attaching the donor's name to the scholarship is $1,500. After the foundation takes 4.5 percent of an endowment's revenue, the remaining revenue is considered "accumulated earnings" or "carry-forward dollars" because they are saved and used in the years when endowments do not produce enough revenue. Bowers said the foundation manages endowed investments so money distributed today will be equal to whatever might be given out a generation from now, while also considering the tuition and cost of living at the time. "In the good years we might earn 17 percent and take 4.5 percent out and the rest is accumulated earnings. In the down years we might only earn two percent in revenue but we need 4.5 percent, so we take from our accumulated earnings," Bowers said. "We have used all of our accumulated earnings, so our endowment revenues are what we call 'under water'." Endowment Struggles Endowment revenues have failed to meet the need of scholarships for a combination of reasons. The foundation was established in 1966. Most of the "carryforward dollars" the foundation had accumulated came in the last eight years. Over those eight years the value of the foundation's endowments doubled, jumping from $14 million to $30 million between 2000 and 2008, but due to the economic crisis, the value has now fallen to. approximately $24 million in the past year. . Initially, the endowments fell to just under $22 million, but with recent gift additions amounting to approximately $2 million, the endowments are now valued at nearly $24 million, said Randy Senf, Western foundation finance officer. Bowers said the foundation has spent the last two weeks fundraising in an effort to offer more money for scholarships. The foundation has also asked faculty and staff to consider a payroll reduction. Any Western employee can opt for a minimum of $5 per month to be taken out of his or her paycheck, which would support the foundations general scholarship fund. "We're saying, 'Maybe your gift" to Western this year can be exclusively to scholarships so we can fill in somewhere between $173,000 and $910,000,' Bowers said. "We know we can't make $910,000; we just can't do that, but we would like to make $700,000." The foundation'is also reaching out to current donors, she said. Many donors have been able to contribute $5,000, while others have only been able to offer $50, Bowers said. "We're talking to people .whose personal portfolios have taken the same decline as our professional portfolios," Bowers said. "And they're saying, 'We really want to help.'" Bowers said everybody is asking their donors for more. All the non-profits are broke, people are out their beating the streets for contributions and Western is trying to let its best supporters know that we need them today, tomorrow and next .year as well, she said. Mark Bagley, senior director for university advancement, said the foundation traditionally sits down with each department in early March to tell them how much money they will receive for scholarships and programs. "The good news is that the numbers we'll show colleges and departments will be the minimum amount," Bagley said. "In the following few months, we'll be able to give more." Other Universities Western, along with Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University and The Evergreen State College, is considered a regional institution. This classification differs from Washington State University (WSU) and the University of Washington (UW) as they are considered "Research I" schools, meaning they offer a fully developed doctorate program. Because of this distinction, WSU and UW have substantially larger endowments. Western's endowments are non-comparable to those of "Research I" schools. As the stock market has fallen further than expected, universities across the country have all taken a substantial hit.

Photo of Stephanie Bowers, Western's vice president for university advancement funds between July and November, which showed an average endowment-fund loss of 22.5 percent during that period. Central is one of the many state universities seeing endowment declines. Jen Gray, assistant vice president of development at Central, said that while their endowments have seen ah 18.9 percent decline in the past year, Central will still be able to offer 70 percent more scholarships this year because much of their "accumulated earnings" are still intact. Central has established an active fundraising campaign similar to Western's, but Central's campainging began last fall. Gray said they are mainly concerned about next year. "We began campaigning in the fall of 2008 because we knew 2010 and 2011 would be a real crisis for us," Gray said. Eastern Washington University's Mike Westfall, vice president for advancement, said their $12.2 million of endowments have declined 21 percent since June 2008, making the value of their current endowments $9.6 million. Eastern's endowment revenues have fallen similarly to Western's. They have seen an 80 percent drop of roughly $500,000 down to $100,000. WSU's $252 million in endowments has seen a 22 percent decline over the last year. The school's endowment revenues amount to less than $15 million this year, down from the $16 million the endowment revenue amounted to last year. Kevin Harvey, director of finance for Washington State's foundation, said the school has done rather well under the circumstances. "Because we calculate the market value of our investments over a three-year period and this is the first year we've seen a decline, our scholarship distributions will not have to be significantly reduced this year," Harvey said. On Jan. 30, Michael Truong of UW's newspaper, The Daily, reported the school's endowments had lost $400 million, falling from $2 billion to $1.6 billion. Ann Sarna, assistant treasurer of investment operations for UW's treasury office, said some of the school's endowments have been hit harder than others. "We have always tried to keep our investments very diversified," Sarna said. "Our losses might mean one less scholarship here or one cut program there, but we still have another month before we'll know for sure." Student Effect Western senior Hannah Higgins, an engineering technology major, has received at least one endowed scholarship each year. After she was recognized as a National Merit finalist in high school, she was offered $10,000 a year to attend Western. Higgins said her scholarships have allowed her to work less and focus more time on school. "Because of my scholarships I have been able to take summers off and do things I never could have afforded," Higgins said. "One summer I was lucky enough to be able to study abroad in Iceland." During another summer Higgins traveled along Washington's coast on the "Lady Washington." The ship is a replica of the first ship to land along Washington's coast, she said. "Without scholarships a lot of students will be forced to work full-time," Higgins said. "That means they won't be as involved with the university and won't be able to travel as easily." Despite what seems to have been an unavoidable loss of scholarship dollars, students, faculty and staff all have opportunities to help. Anyone can buy a Western license plate for $30 from the Washington State Department of Licensing and $28 of the original $30 will go directly to support the Alumni Association's scholarship fund. The Alumni Association is partnered with the foundation to raise scholarship funds. A gift to Western's foundation in any amount can support the program, scholarship or department of the donor's choice. l^iBiiiiftilBii Visit the Web for details! www.ExtendedEd.wwu.edu &#226;&#8364;&#162; ilearn@wwu.edu WESTERN m i Independent Learning (360) 650-3650 Gender JIlulliculturAl Studies WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY AA/EO Institution ---------- Page 5 ---------- westernfrontonline.net I Friday &#226;&#8364;&#162; February 27,2009 NEWS I 5 DEAN: Interim Dean Carbajal draws biggest crowd at forum photo by Alex Roberts THE WESTERN FRONT Interim Dean of College of Humanities and Social Sciences Brent Carbajal was the only finalist for the position who didn't use a PowerPoint during his Feb. 26 open forum.

BILL McOONALD PARKWAY H g | &#194;&#187; UNIVERSITY fi SP HEIGHTS DOUGLAS PAINLESS Properties, LLC SHORT TERM LEASES AVAILABLE JANUARY THRU AUGUST CHSS' budget will be off-limits to budget reductions because that money is used for faculty and staff wages; he said laying off staff is not an option. "For change to be embraced, there needs to be a sense of security and stability," Carbajal said. Because Western is a liberal arts focused university that places value on student learning and applying knowledge, Carbajal said the university has the opportunity to prepare students for world problems. He said in times of trouble, institutions might lose their focus and forget what is important to the school's mission. . "Many should reflect the same principles during tough times as they do during the good times," Carbajal said. "Principles may seem like they need to be changed to fit the times, but they stay the same." Carbajal said the second focus of his presentation, managing, would also require an explanation of leadership within CHSS. As part of the administration, Carbajal said the dean of CHSS should be the voice for its faculty and staff. In order to push through these tough economic times, he said Western administration needs to build a trust throughout the university and let everyone know that a collective voice matters. "I'm standing here talking with you because I want to be here talking with you," Carbajal said. "I'm not here because I want to be a dean, but because I want to be dean of this college." On Feb. 24, Gilger was the second finalist to hold an open forum, following Nicol C. Rae, on Feb. 19. Gilger's presentation lasted 30 minutes, allowing 25 minutes for attendees to ask him questions. Professor of modern and classical languages Cornelius Partsch posed a question to Gilger about whether or not he thinks he could be a strong advocate in fulfilling Western's mission&#226;&#8364;&#8221;keeping a student centered environment, while being engaged in teaching, scholarship and community service. &#226;&#8364;&#8221;&#226;&#8364;&#162; "This college has quality faculty, programs and students," Gilger responded. "I would want to maintain that as best I could." During his presentation, Gilger said he has been involved with colleges affected by budget issues, and one way Western could ease it's budget problem would be through attempts at trying to link with other universities in Washington. He said if Western were to bridge or cooperate with institutions such as The Evergreen State College, these campuses could share credit hours, giving students the choice to go to the campus that suits them. This would also mean splitting profits from tuition, while saving money. Partsch said he was not sure how that plan would work out for Western. He said Gilger made it sound easier than it really would be to cooperate with another university with a different mission. While Partsch said he thought some of Gilger's ideas for solving Western's budget problems may not work, he said Gilger's presentation was an example of someone coming up with new ideas and thinking creatively to solve the issues Western is facing.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Alliance (LGBTA) presented their 17th annual drag show, which helps fund two local charities that work with people living with HIV and AIDS, Thursday on the Performing Arts Center Mainstage. Proceeds from the drag show are divided between the Sean Humphrey House and the Evergreen AIDS Foundation. Western's LGBTA coordinator Amber Aldrich said last year's show raised approximately $3,000 for each charity after deducting productions costs. In previous years, the event was held in the concert hall, forcing several hundred people to be turned away because only 650 seats were available, Aldrich said. "That's money that we could be giving to Sean Humphrey House," Aldrich said. This year, due to the new venue, approximately 400 more people could have had the opportunity to &#226;&#8364;&#162;see the show. ' ;i:.:::.;:;':T-::::V\^--;_:;;.&#226;&#8364;&#162;; However, the tickets sales for this year's event totaled less than 450.- Western sophomore Truong Nguyen, the 2008 drag show winner, said before this year's show that he was confident in his chance to repeat his win, despite tougher competition than last year. "I definitely need to step my game up this year," Nguyen said. "That's why I have to get almost naked on stage." The winner of the drag show is decided by a combination of crowd response and from the Sean Humphrey House.

But not Deb Currier, Western Theatre Department chair and director of "La Cage aux Folles." She puts on a drag musical to lift her spirits. "I'm tired of doing dark, dismal, depressing productions in dark, depressing, weather," said Currier, who worked on "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?" fall quarter. Written by Harvey Fiernstein and adapted from Jean Poiret's 1973 version of "La Cage aux Folles," the musical tells the story of Georges, a drag-club owner in St. Tropez, France, his drag queen wife Al-bin and the events that ensue when their son Jean- Michel introduces them to his fiancee's conservative family. Compared to previous years, the theatre department has an exceptional amount of strong males who sing and dance, Currier said. The show, which will be presented on Western's Performing Arts Center Mainstage March 5-15, will utilize the strong male turnout, she said. Although some audiences may shy away from shows with storyline that revolve around homosexuality and cross-dressing, Currier said Bellingham was the perfect community in which to present the show. "I think Bellingham will respond how it always responds to the arts&#226;&#8364;&#8221;open-minded Currier said.

"Usually, the shortest amount of time it takes to do my makeup is an hour and an a half," Didis said. "I'm just trying to finish my face before I freak out." Makeup is the main source of chaos backstage. Western sophomore Cyrus Huber grumbled as he waited for his turn to get made up. "How long ddes it take to put makeup on a guy?" Huber asks. "I'm about to punch somebody." Eye shadow serves as a shading tool to create the illusion of cleavage. Other show participants doubled as makeup artists, performing odd tasks, such as giving full, red lips to a man with a full, red beard. "You're a boy-^how do I do boy hair?" asked Western senior Courtney Crass, who performed as a man to a Kanye West track. Crass said the drag show is a fun way to get the campus community thinking about gender. "I love the idea of challenging what gender is," Crass said. "Is it just clothes? Is that what gender is?" Aldrich said LGBTA events are important for individuals looking for acceptance in the college environment. "A lot of people, when they're in high school, have this feeling like 'I'm the only person who's like me,'" Aldrich said. "Our events provide not only an opportunity to educate people about LGBT issues, but also provide social or entertainment events that can offer a sense of community." ..,_......--... Thursday's performance also included a preview of the upcoming play "La Cage aux Folles," which will run March 5-15 on the PAC Mainstage. Aldrich said much of the play is set in a drag club, so offering a glimpse to the drag show audience seemed like a no- brainer. "We kind of decided to create a little synergy between us and the theater department and give them an opportunity to give a preview of the show," Aldrich said. photo by Katie Greene THE WESTERN"FRONT Western sophomore Truong Nguyen, whose stage name is Queen Bee, performs to "Call on Me" in the Drag Show Thursday night. i)r gt;ag.

Because it is "Drag Camp," the 15 cast members with a drag role are required to wear heels during rehearsal. "It's been interesting trying to find heels in the sizes for some of the guys," Currier said. Since men do not naturally move their hips much when they walk, D'Ville said she and the other drag queens taught the male cast members to roll their hips to achieve the natural sway that women have, when they walk. "Your look can't be subtle," D'Ville said. "It has to be big and flashy." Western junior Mauro Bozzo said walking in heels was, not so much of a challenge as it was to walk in them as women do. He said when women walk, their feet follow.their hips and when men walk their hips follow their feet. "You have to all of a sudden take something you've been doing for 18 years of your life and try to reverse it," Bozzo said. "It's very interesting." Western junior T.J. Anderson, who plays Jean- Michel, said sharing the stage with men in heels was strange at first. "It's kind of a weird cognitive difference," Anderson said. "But I got used to it." To downpiay the men's physical size, the queens told the actors their wigs, make-up^ hair and dress must be over the top, Bozzo said. "Everything has to be larger than life," he said. photo by Katie Greene THE WESTERN FRONT Members of Western's Theatre Department rehearse for 'La Cage aux Folles' on the Performing Arts Center Main-stage Feb. 13.

Almost two months after its opening, Scotty Browns is still booming with business every night, said Kevin Doyle, Scotty Browns opening manager. "January and February are usually the slowest months," he said. "It is amazing that even with all of the economic downfall, our business has been high and consistent." Approximately 80 percent of the 54 front floor staff are Western students or alumni. Western alumni also hold three of the restaurant's four management positions, Doyle said. Bellingham's Scotty Browns is the first restaurant from the Canadian chain to be built in the U.S., Doyle said. The restaurant is known as 'Browns Social House' at its seven other locations in the Vancouver, B.C. area. Doyle, who helped open several of the franchise's restaurants in Canada, but wanted a location closer to where he was living. He said the Bellingham restaurant quickly proved to be the most successful in the franchise. The 5,400-square-foot restaurant, located in Barkley Village, is the largest of the eight restaurants built by the chain, which presented the need for a large staff, Doyle said. Scotty Browns currently has 54 employees working the front of the restaurant and 25 employees in the kitchen. Western students employed at the restaurant impressed Doyle early on, he said. Having never worked while going through college himself, Doyle said the student employees' time management skills have continued to amaze him. Scotty Browns employee training is extensive and includes several tests on a thick manual of menu and bar items, Doyle said. "[The students] were studying for these tests during their finals week and still giving us 90 to 100 percent results," Doyle said. Western senior Autumn Henderson said it was her first time working in a restaurant when she was hired as a hostess at Scotty Browns. Henderson also works a second job in addition to being a hostess, but rather than wearing her out, she said it actually motivates her to finish her school-work. "Having this job really helps me with time management, and it also makes me realize the value of my time," Henderson said. Hollie Johnson, Western alumna arid dining room manager at Scotty Browns, said she finds it beneficial having a large group of Western student employees because they help each other with shift coverage. "If one of [the employees] has a test to study for, someone will cover their shift and then next time they will return the favor," she said. Johnson said she worked in the restaurant business throughput her time in college. She said she graduated in 2007 with a major in psychology but was not sure what career to pursue and chose the restaurant business as a way to pay the bills. "I worked through college because I didn't have any other choice," she said. "I didn't realize working as a waitress would help me like it did." Johnson said she finds her psychology major" helpful for understanding different behaviors and personalities of customers and other employees in the restaurant. She said she has also learned new skills through working as a manager and experiencing how the inside of a business works she said. "I didn't take business classes at Western, but I feel like I have learned more working here than I ever would have learned in a class," she said. Scotty Browns General Manager Jonathan Koncz, who graduated from Western in 2006, returned to campus during fall quarter 2008 in hopes of recruiting Western students to work at the business. Koncz said he wanted to recruit from Western because he knew that college stu-photo by Hailey Tucker THE WESTERN FRONT Western alumna Hollie Johnson poses in front of Scotty Browns Bellingham location, where she works as a manager.

"This restaurant wouldn't be as successful as it is without the hard work from the students," Koncz said. photo by-Katie GreeneTHEiWESTERI^iFRONT Order Up: THEBAGELRY % Address: Jl 319 {;BMro^d:;^e:.H:y Tiej^iioile: lt;3#p76-5288 ( ^ Ken Ryan (pictured) Hours: M-F 6:30 a.m.&#226;&#8364;&#8221; 5p.m. Sat 7:30 a.m. - A p?m.

New reporters, new editors and new photographers will bring new ideas to the newsroom in an effort to continue making The Front as great as it can be. This is a process that happens every quarter. It's important for students, faculty and community members to realize that The Western Front is a class. It's a course requirement; not a voluntary extra-curricular activity. The Front is a learning tool. Many of the staff and reporters are inexperienced at this stage of their career and just like anyone else in any other class, we make mistakes. We're still learning what it takes to succeed in this fast-paced industry. People need to keep this in mind when they talk to the reporters and staff of The Western Front. Be understanding. Do not let your past experiences with The Front mar your relationship with it now. You might be dealing with a new reporter; or a reporter that has learned from his or her mistake, and won't repeat it this time around. Dealing with reporters is important because news is happening all the time about which the campus community needs to know. The news needs to be shared and it is The Front's job to do it. We need help and interviews from the campus community and the people who are important to the stories we write. We're a vital part of the community, not an island off alone in the Communication Facility. Many schools around the country don't require their journalism students to work for a school pulication such as this;. they require students to compete for a select number of spots on the paper. These students don't get as rich of an education as we do. We are lucky that Western values real-life experience in its curriculum. That is not to say" that we take mistakes lightly. We hold ourselves to high standards; we know that we represent not only ourselves, but our department, university and community. Errors reflect poorly on us as a whole. Unlike most other programs at Western, mistakes made in The Front are public for everyone to see. We regret and try to prevent as many errors as possible. But, inevitably, some will happen. If you discover one of these errors, please let us know. And know that we will do our best to correct them and prevent any future mistakes of the same sort from happening. We're all students and have other classes that we take in addition to The Front. Many of us have outside jobs to balance as well. So be courteous in your dealings with The Western Front and its staff, and we will strive to ensure our reporters are the same to you. What it really comes down to is: We're here to help you.

Things Jon likes: hugs, acoustic guitar, Frisbee, drums, pictures of dead babies and free expression. Things Jon doesn't like: any of the aforementioned in Red Square. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, . or simply, "That Guy," but no one cares that you can play The Killer's, "Smile Like You Mean It" with correct chord progression or if you can do a fluid under-leg catch, spin, throw combination with a Frisbee. I hate your stupid Frisbee. Red Square seems to bring out the histrionics in Western students. Its heavy, foot traffic and the fact that it's the nexus of most Western activity seem to click with the average attention-seeking academic and make them think, "Know what'd be a good idea? Strumming the same three chords repeatedly while the people next to me try to have a conversation, or God forbid, study." Perhaps it's the fact that I get along well with my family and that my parents gave me an appropriate amount of attention, but I've never felt the urge to blatantly express myself for all to see. Wait, I'm writing a column where I'm blatantly expressing myself... NOOOOOOoooo.... Any who, I'm going to make fun of drum circles now in order to mask my hypocrisy. I spent the last year teaching English in Japan because over there I am a giant. During my time in the mystical Orient, I was in a constant state of tranquility that was only shattered once. Whilst exploring in the hip, fashionable district created by Gwen Stefani, called "Hara- Juku," I heard in the distance a deep rumbling of "patta-pon, pat-ta- pon." As I ventured deeper and deeper into the local park the noise grew and my heart began to become icy with dread. It was a drum circle. Now, I lived next to Fairhaven's "Outback" for three years and had to suffer through the Saturday night jam/howling at the moon sessions. If I never have to experience another group of white kids expressing their anger toward their conservative parents in badly expressed rhythm, I'd die a happy man. Also, what's with all the "Free Hugs" people I've been seeing around lately? Perhaps I am a burgeoning curmudgeon but when I see the sign "Free Hugs" what I really see is, "Please pay attention to me." Yes, I understand that it's part of a global campaign, but in a hug-friendly place like America I don't really find it vital. If you really want a hug, just ask a friend for one. And honestly, "Free Hugs?" Why not just "Hugs?" Hugs never have a monetary value; in fact no matter how much you pay an escort, she'll never hug you&#226;&#8364;&#8221; but she will change your diaper and flagellate your back with a cat-o- nine-tails. But not to lose the support of my beloved bleeding hearts, I'm not a huge fan of those Genocide Awareness Project rascals either. Every year I enjoy eating hotdogs in front of their incendiary imagery, hoping some chaos will erupt. . But, I'm sure if the members of the GAP were to spend a day observing the goings-on in Red Square, they'd totally rethink their stance on abortion. So save your strummin', thumpin', and Greco-Roman discus throwin' for the comfortable confines of your own home. Letter to the Editor: Income tax would make system more fair Michael Lang has identified an important problem for Washington state: it relies primarily on a sales tax. However, he fails to explore all of the implications of such a tax system. First, a sales tax is regressive: the less you earn, the greater a percentage of your income you pay in taxes. Secondly, people continue to pay sales taxes even when they have been laid off, when they can least afford them. So, there is a perverse irony in our current recession: people with lower incomes&#226;&#8364;&#8221;who most depend on state programs&#226;&#8364;&#8221;continue to pay higher taxes than wealthier taxpayers and yet receive fewer and less comprehensive services. We could make the system more fair by switching to an income tax. While it would not fix the state's fiscal problems, an income tax has several benefits. First, when people are laid off they immediately get a tax break, and thus are better able to make ends meet. Second, we establish greater fairness by making those who are better able to afford it, pay for more of our public goods. Thirdly, we would not have to become "self-ingratiating, continually unfulfilled consumers in order to jumpstart the economy,"&#226;&#8364;&#8221;a disgusting idea.

The Vikings soundly defeated the Wolves 109-72 in the second to last home game of the season. Wednesday night's win avenged an 85-83 loss against Western Oregon on Valentine's Day and placed Western in second place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC). Their 10-3 record places the Vikings a game behind first place Seattle Pacific University. Leading the Vikings in points was Western senior guard Ira Graham with 23. Graham complimented his point total with seven rebounds and eight assists. He said his strong game was made possible by being on a solid team and commended Western junior point guard Morris Anderson for his game-high 10 assists. In addition to Graham's high point total, every player on the 11-man roster was able to get time on the court and points on the scoreboard. "Everybody scored," Western assistant coach Rob Visser said with a smile. "That's as good as it gets." Western senior forward Dave Brit-tinen liked seeing everybody on the play roster getting some court time.. "We only have a few games left, so it was good we got everybody in there because everybody works hard in practice," Brittinen said. "[The reserves'] hard work in practice makes us as good as we are." Visser said Western senior guard Steve Alford has been known to act as a barometer for the team, as the senior's performance sometimes sets the tempo for the team overall. "When I come out aggressive, the whole team is aggressive, but when I come out laid back, the whole team is laid back," Alford said. Before the match, Visser said the Western Oregon player he intended to watch carefully was. senior forward Travis Kuhns, who he considers a formidable player. During the game, the Vikings made approximately 63 percent of their field goals overall and 75 percent of their 3-pointers. Both teams were able to score on each of their first four possessions, but the Vikings then decisively pulled ahead. The Vikings held a 19 point lead at half-time and consistently stayed ahead by 30 points in the final 10 minutes of the game. Western head coach Brad Jackson said he wanted to see a particular emphasis on the Viking's defensive effort. This game, the team came out and really got into the swing of things, Jackson said. "We needed to boost our confidence, so it was a very good win for us tonight," Jackson said. With the possibility of a GNAC championship and a potential spof in the NCAA Division II championship, Jackson said he believes the team will stay focused during the three remaining regular season games. Graham said Wednesday's game could potentially catapult them" to winning the GNAC title." He said the last three games of the regular season are going to be tough, but he believes the Vikings are capable of pulling it off. Graham is particularly looking forward to the last game of the regular season with Central, but in-photo by Alex Roberts THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior forward Michael Duty shoots over a Western Oregon defender. tends to focus on one game at a time.

Only three players from the Nanook's original roster remain playing for the team, as nine have been lost to injury. Four of which involved the ACL. Much of the team is now made up of volleyball players and not a single Nanook stands taller than 5-foot-9. "A game like this is tough for all of us," Western head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "What can I say? A win's a win." The Vikings walked away with their 11th home game win Thursday night after shutting out the Nanooks for nearly 14 minutes in the first half.

"It's not as bad as it sounds," said Western freshman rower Andrew Lapi- dus, who joined the team this fall. "It's not like getting up for class. Waking up and going out on the water is much more invigorating than sitting in class listening to lectures." , The team has six races scheduled for the' spring season with a possibility for a seventh race if they can raise enough money for a trip to the Dad Vail regatta, in Philadelphia&#226;&#8364;&#8221;the largest collegiate tournament in the country. Western finished seventh out of the 53 teams that participated in last year's Dad Vail regatta. Since the team is a club sport, it has to raise most of its own money for traveling, uniforms, equipment and other expenses, Western sophomore coxswain Maggie Swidler said. The rest of the team's funds come from donations from Western, Swidler said. Swidler sits at the front of the crew boat and helps guide and encourage the rowers as they are racing &#226;&#8364;&#8221; usually involving quite a bit of yelling. To earn money to travel to regattas, the team works for a security agency that pays them to work at the University of Washington Huskies football games and other events where security duties are needed throughout the year. el anywhere they want without fund raising. We have to do it all ourselves." But the hard work involved with the fund raising pays off in the end, Knutson said. "It feels really good when we beat one of those teams that have lots of cash," Knutson said. "There are teams with new photo courtesy of Maggie Swidler Members of the men's crew team compete in last year's UPS and Western home regatta. Swidler, Lapidus and Knutson have all spent time guarding the field during the Huskies' games, working at the ticket booth and keeping an eye on team buses. "We have a quarter of the cash that other teams we compete against have," Swidler said. "[Other teams] constantly get new boats, new uniforms and can trav-boats and nice uniforms, but are just really bad teams." The club consists of two different types of teams. One boat is the Varsity 4, which has the four most experienced rowers on the team. Knutson is a member of the Varsity 4 team. The second boat is the Novice 8, which has eight rowers&#226;&#8364;&#8221;usually the newest members of the team, who do not have as much racing experience. The spring season kicks off March 28 with the Daffodil Cup in Tacoma. Last year the varsity team finished in fourth place. The novice team finished in second place &#226;&#8364;&#8221; their best finish last season. "I think we will do pretty well this year," Knutson said. "We tested everyone's speeds earlier in the year, and then tested them again just recently, and everyone improved their times.'Physically, we've improved a lot." On April 11, the team will host their only home regatta, which will be a dual with their rival, the University of Puget Sound, on Lake Samish. At last year's home regatta, the varsity team was able to beat Puget-Sound. "They're the biggest competition in the region," Swidler said. "It's nice to see how we match up with them every year. Especially since we race them more often than any other team." The team is always looking for new members, Knutson said. But, with it being so close to racing season, new team members would have to be dedicated and quick to catch up with the rest of the team. "It'd be rough," Knutson said. "But, we do need more guys and it needs to happen quick because it's getting close to being too late." WOMEN: Western women capitalize on 34-6 halftime lead from 10 said.. "The fact that we're still play-: ing is enough for me." Alaska Fairbanks is now ranked 0-14 in the conference and 5-18 overall. ' Nanook senior guard Sheena Brown had a game-high 16 points and junior forward Ronisha Edwards added 12. "This game was important for us because we wanted to use it to get better for Saturday," Western senior forward Liz McCarrell said. "We now know that we need to work on blocking out and cutting down our turnovers." ....... The Vikings will play nationally ranked University of Alaska Anchorage at 7 p.m., Saturday in their last home appearance of the season. The Nanooks will return home after their last season road trip and will be glad to see the season end, Smith said. "We only have two more games left," Smith said.

Flem was named GNAC Player of the Week for Feb. 15-21, and because of her record-breaking game, she moved up to sixth place for total RBIs and holds the record for most career home runs at Western. Western head coach Lonnie Hicks said the team was not aware that Flem had broken the record until the series had ended. "It was fun to watch everyone contribute to the wins," Hicks said. "The whole team was making big plays." The GNAC series improved Western's overall season record to 3-1, leaving the Crusaders with an overall record of 1-3. Western's first victory of the season came on Feb. 20, when Western and the Crusaders faced off in a doubleheader&#226;&#8364;&#8221; both teams left the field with a win. The pace did not slow for Western as the series continued on Saturday with the opening game resulting in another win and a final score of 12-2. Western sophomore outfielder Michelle Wrigley and Flem both had four hits; Wrigley crossed home plate three times and Flem made it home twice. Western sophomore infielder Caitlin Dotlich and freshman pitcher and utility player Tobey Varney each had three hits during the game and scored during every inning except the third. "These women really played up to their potential," Hicks said. The last game of the series ended with photo by Hailey Tucker THE WESTERN FRONT Western sophomore shortstop Caitlin Dotlich prepares to hit during batting practice in Carver Gym D on Thursday afternoon. a Western victory of 5-2. Western scored one run in the first and second innings and two runs in the third.

Western will play their first home game against Central Washington University in a two-game series: one at noon on Feb. 28 On Viking Field and the other at noon on March 1 on Viking Field, "We just need to stay mentally prepared for the game against Central," junior pitcher Sarah McEnroe said.

The green and gold hues of autumn are welcoming the record- breaking 4,250" students to Western's campus this week. Included are 1,150 new freshmen labeled by Interim President Paul Woodring thebrightest and best qualified crop of frosh Western has ever admitted. More than half of the newstudents accepted for admission were in the upper quarter of their high school graduating classes.Less than 5 per cent of the new frosh were in the lower half of their classes. "In terms of, ^liigh schoolgrades," Woodring commented, "42 per cent of the class is coming to Western with a grade javeragebetter gt;han J3.jp. This is better than'- a B average." Last week being freshman orientation week, thecampus was scattered with bewildered students receiving Western's welcome of registrationmysteries and a new environment. Those same bewildered students jare the products of Western'shigher admission standards. Wppdring told a meeting pf the college^ Board M gt;f-Trustees SeptV 10that a^^hpugh admission standards have gone, iip, thjsy are riot restrictive when compared with thoseof the more select, upper-crust private colleges in the nation&#226;&#8364;&#8221;of which there, are .several dozen."We believe that a state college should be available to all high school graduates who can; giveevidence of capacity for college wqyk," Woodring remarked. "But we do riot think it fair to a student toadmit him if -his record indicates that he is not likely to be able to do college work." Western's drop-outrates are lower because of the more rigid admission standards. As a result, - more .Western studentsare able to continue through college,. Woodring said. ,' 'The large number of transfers from juniorcolleges who now enter Western cause our junior and senior: classes to be even larger than thesophomore class;" Woodring ladded. Of the 1,150 freshmen accepted for admission, 730 are womenand 420 are men&#226;&#8364;&#8221;making the odds interesting for the men and challenging for the women. However,the imbalance is offset by the 570 transferstudents, of which more than two-thirds are m&#194;&#163;n. Much totfie dismay of the ..gentlemen, the total student body maie-Female' ration remains on a par. : :: Student government will lt;keep on an even keel this year, Ralph Munro, Associated Student president saidat an interview recently. "And," he added, "we are going to have more cooperation between studentbody officers." Munro said he would like to see student government help sell the college in the field ofpublic relations in .the community and state. "We got too much bad publicity'last year,'' he said. "One important thing student government must remember is that it is riot bigger than .the, college. "The;3rimary function of college is education. We should work to see (hat this goal is reached by "everystudent." .When asked what sort pf new Ralph Munro ASB President programs he planned to start this year, Munro replied that he had none. "Clark Drummond, my opponent at the last election, has keptup correspondence with me all summer and has a few new programs that I don't feel free to discloseat this time," he said. WANT ADS $1 Col.

Jarrett, president of Western for the pastfive years, left the college for his new position at the University of California at Berkeley. There aremany things that Jarrett brought to Western that will remain long after his departure&#226;&#8364;&#8221;things that haveenabled:Western to compete with any other undergraduate college in the nation. He left behind a largerstudent; body, larger and more specialized faculty, a campus with more than twice the number ofbuildings than when he came here, - but most important of all, he leaves an institution with a betterreputation for its quality of education. Before Jarrett even took oyer as president, he said, "The firstand most important characteristic of a good teacher is that he be as broadly and deeply educated as acollege can make him." Jarrett applied this philosophy not only to teachers, but to every student thatentered this institution by pushing and broadening the general education program. " The"prominence he gave to the Humanities Program with its emphasis on reading the works of greatphilosophers of education^ politics and religion was one of his more noticeable achieve ments andsomething which is unique to Western. A building on campus, the Humanities Building, has more orless become a symbol of his Humanities emphasis, philosophy of education, and term-of office to thestudents presently enrolled on campus. We think it should become a symbol to all students of that once described "intellectual who looks like a football player." '., It is with this thought in mind that we ask that students, faculty members and alumni to petition the Board of Trustees to name tiie building the "James L. Jarrett Humanities Building" in honor of the contributions and reputation that he has endowedWestern. &#226;&#8364;&#8221;David M. Curts. what college students can do When, President Kennedy spoke at hisinauguration just a wink in history ago, he made a unique and now familiar plea to his countrymen,"And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for yourcountry." Here is what every Ameriican college student could do for his country: November's electionsare on the horizon. Despite age, students can help the party of their choice as effective workers in thecampaign headquarters. Letters need to be stuffed, doorbells need to be rung, and stamps need to belicked in the headquarters of both the Republicans and Democrats. Elections are won by workers, notwatchers. . Students who learn the importance of politics today will be better Amer-- icans tomorrow.Too many voters today fair to vote because they failed to learn when they were younger that despitethe fact they are one of millions, their votes do count. So, the percentage of eligible woters who actuallycast a ballot is disgraceful. A hard-won privilege is being abused. The students of today can learn theimportance of their support, small though it be: Let history r
