GLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER JANUARY, 1907 REVERE THE OLD—WELCOME THE NEW. January 1st, in the business world, is a day of stock-taking; the closing of old accounts, the opening of new records; the devising of ways and means for another period of twelve months. In the social, professional, student and private life, as well, it is a day of inspection, retrospection and future making; a day for thoughtful consideration of the many things which enter into human existence and make our lives, collectively and individually, all that they are, have been, and ever will be. It is as it should be, a day of profit-taking from the experience of the year just passed, and of good resolutions for the year just opening, that our lives may be richer in knowledge, contentment and usefulness. Not a day of regrets for what might have been, but rather a day of rejoicing for what shall be, and for the bright hopes which beckon us on to this attainable goal. The old year must not be forgotten in our expression of joy for the new year. It has, perhaps, shadowed our lives with some clouds but it has also brightened them with as much sunshine. If we have been selfish and thoughtless and wrong-headed, let us not blame the old year but promise good old Father Time, who has gathered it to his bosom, that he will have less selfishness, less thoughtlessness and less wrong-headedness to forgive when he closes the portals upon the glad new year. Let us reverence the old while welcoming the new. Farewell 1906. Welcome 1907, and may your coming inspire us " To act well our parts, therein all the honor lies." "What a grand thing it is to have a new year to begin with," saj^s an eloquent writer, "as pure and spotless as the celestial regions and quite as fit for angels as for men and women." Nothing is cleaner than the future, and January 1st is really the door of a possible heaven. The Normal Messenger's greeting to all its readers is a wish that the new year may be one of plenty and happiness to them, and of peace and prosperity to all mankind—a year of paradise on earth. ESSIE L. WARNER. Editor '10. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger OH! BEAUTIFUL BELLINGHAM BAY. I. Oh, beautiful Bellingham Bay! How quiet and silent she lay; A silvery sheet nestling close to the feet Of the mountains, wild and gray. II. Thou make'st me think of the day, Thou wonderful Bellingham Bay, When Nature's own hand shaped thy ev'ry strand In her reckless, careless way. in. She fringed thine own westerly bound With rock-ribbed isles from the Sound, Threw in whitened sands to silver thy strands, And made richer thy nether bound. IV. On thy sun-greeting shore to the east, Lay Bellingham,. far from the least Of cities that boast of a numerous host, And of a homestead by the sea. V. To northward and westward there rise, Cutting deep thru the stretch of the skies, Olympic's proud peaks, dame Nature's strange freaks, Just to greet us, I surmise. VI. Thy southernmost reach stretches far, To ocean thy gates are ajar; The tide ushered in, rushes back once again Thru Deception's dangerous bar. VII. Oh! beautiful Bellingham Bay! Thou art grander day by day; I love thy shores, with richest lores And lose myself in thee. "LOREC ARLOC." SENIORS. At the recent election—you've all heard of it, no doubt; Miss Nora Corbett was chosen class president. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 Now, we find that Miss Myers, who preceded Miss Corbett, is as enthusiastic as before she laid down the staff, and the good work goes on without a pause in the ponderous machinery. Miss MicCullough succeeds herself to the vice-presidency. Miss Wahl was elected secretary— who could imagine it otherwise. Mr. Roger E. Williams relieves Mr. C. D. Jones from the treasury. Now Roger can hold great things, so don't be afraid to roll in your class dues. Of the editor I shall now speak. Could he be kept close home, volumes might run from his pen. But it is difficult to keep Mr. Anslow at the desk. Now if any of these officers-elect falter, the strong and valiant Mr. Copeland, our sargeant at-arms, will come to the rescue. We never did fear the attacks of the Juniors, but now we are doubly secure. MASTERS OR SERVANTS? By JAS. O'SULLIVAN. The policy of our President is generally laudable; but no faithful student of our constitution can view with calmness the scheme, hinted at by Secretary Root, of "interpreting" into that document a gigantic system of centralization at the expense of the powers reserved to the states. This article purports to show that the leading measures in this system of centralization are unconstitutional; that their incorporation into the constitution by judicial interpretation subverts the underlying principle of our political system; that thereby the sovereign people become servants instead of masters of their government, and the whole fabric of constitutional government threatened. To regulate child labor in factories, the government proposes to fine railroads for transporting the products of factories employing child labor. The government claims that it is a necessary power in order to carry out the conferred power of regulating commerce between states. But the fact that the products of a factory may ultimately become the subjects of commercial intercourse between the states does not empower the federal government to regulate labor in such factories. ID ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger Veazie vs. Moor, 14 How. 568, 574, it is well said: "A pretension as far-reaehing as this would extend to contracts between citizen and citizen of the same state, would control the pursuits of the planter, the grazier, the manufacturer, the mechanic, the immense operations of the colliers, the mines and furnaces of the country I for there is not one of these avocations the results of which may not become the subjects of foreign commerce, and be transported, either by turnpikes, canals or railroads, from point to point within the several states, towards an ultimate destination.'' This sweeping proposal bears, at first glance. the semblance of constitutionality; but the attempt to regulate school affairs in San Francisco seems utterly without support in the constitution. The administration relies on the provision that the constitution, federal laws made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the la«id, and therefore that the treaty with Japan is paramount to the law of California. But the government forgets that the treaties it makes must be made "under the authority of the United States" and that the authority of the United States government over school affairs in a state is nowhere found in the constitution. Judge Cor-ley, on page 117 of his Principles of Constitutional Law, says: "The constitution imposes no restrictions upon the (treaty) power but it is subject to the implied restriction that nothing can be done under it which changes the constitution of the country, robs a department of the government or any of the states of its constitutional authority." Now this is exactly what the administration proposes to do. It would change the constitution by making treaties paramount to it and by robbing the State of California of its constitutional right to regulate its school affairs. Nowhere in the constitution has the right to regulate these affairs been conferred upon the federal government, either expressly or by implication, and surely it is well established that whatever powers are not conferred in this constitution upon the federal government are withheld and belong to the seveeral states. These measures are not only unconstitutional, they really constitute amendments of the most sweeping character. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 An attempt to "interpret" them into the constitution violates the most vital principle of our political system, the sovereignty of the people. The constitution expressly provides that all amendments shall be made by two-thirds majority in Congress and a majority in three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions, as Congress may designate. The people have reserved to themselves the sovereign prerogative of expressing their will in the fundamental law, entrusting to the organs of government the right to express their will only on certain subjects and then in accordance with and subject to the supreme law in the constitution. They contemplated the government to be their servant and not their master. But let the government establish the precedent of freely amending the constitution by so-called judicial interpretation and sovereignty is transferred, as in England and Germany, from the people to the government. The masters become the servants. Even more pernicious is the veiled attack on constitutional government. The constitution seems to be considered as a plaything to be tossed back and forth between supreme courts as often as the executive, by appointment, secures decisions favorable to his policies. Statesmen disregard constitutional checks to carry a point. Even federal judges are denounced for upholding the plain provisions of the constitution. Of late it is intimated that a crisis in affairs has come that justifies the suspension of the salutary amendment clause provided as a wise restraint upon democracy and the incorporation of remedial legislation by stretching the constitution. Of this Judge Cooley says: "No doctrin* involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of men—such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism, but the theory of necessity on which it is based is false for the government within the constitution has all the powers granted to it which are necessary to preserve its existence." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLI NGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of S.

If you just want a certain thing, Round which your hopes and wishes cling, Why is it you can't have it? If with that thing you'd be content Through all your life, where e'er you went, Why is it you can't have it? The other folks who do not care, If that one thing goes here or there, She (that's the thing) delights in; While you who live for smile or word Try by all means you've ever heard To win one smile or token. Things are like this o'er all the earth, And always were, since Adam's birth Brought man into existence; But every cloud is lined with gold, And that that is, is best, 'tis told; Then why give your resistence. ELIZABETH CHABOT, '10 Class. THESPIAN. The Thespian Dramatic Club is doing good, strong work this year. As its name indicates the Thespian is chiefly interested in the dramas and in some of the best actors. The plan of work is unique and at the same time ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 effective. Scenes from some of the great plays are given each meeting in the auditorium. A group of members are assigned a certain scene and they, with one of the number as director, work out the scene. As it is planned now, scenes from the following plays will be enacted during the term: "She Stoops to Conquer," "Lady of Lyons," "The Falcon," "Julius Caesar," "School for Scandal" and a number of other plays to be selected later. The best performance to be played during the present season at the opera house are given especial attention, and where it is thought best, excerpts are taken from them. The social side is not neglected. The club has had one pleasant visit together and has plans for many more. The organization has been divided into two parts, and these divisions take turns in entertaining. If the force and enthusiasm with which the work has been carried on so far be an indication, the Thespian Society bids fair to lead the other societies in excellence and in enjoyment of work. NORMAL BASKETBALL TEAM. The Normal basketball team, which lost not a victory last year, is again in the field and has already to its credit this year two victories. On January 11 a team of picked players from town lost a game to the Normal, and on the 25th the local Y. M. C. A. went down in defeat with a score of 17 to 27. This last team had taken on to itself many airs and considered themselves "cock of the walk" because they had defeated Seattle and Tacoma. Manager Smith is arranging a number of games with other schools, and is going to give his team a chance to make a record. With Cory and Pethram's steady work as forwards, Goodell's brilliant work from center, and Nichol's and Davenport's playing as guards, the team is surely going to be a winner. A NORMAL EPISODE. The white moonlight lay like a silvery covering on the clear expanse of frozen lake, turning the whole world into a sparkling, glistening fairyland. The whole lake rang with the peals of laughter and merry voices of the skaters, who, dashing here and there, were making the night ring with their happy voices. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger A group of Normal students had come out for a lark, for skating is not common in Western Washington. So when Boreas had come to freeze up the town, while it made people with old hearts complain, the young ones—well, they didn't give a care for bursting water-pipes, swearing owners and smiling plumbers, but went in as hard as they could for all the fun they could, as long as they could. Young teachers were there, and teachers who had turned the old maid's corner, and those who were not teachers at all. But all self-consciousness had been laid aside in that time of supreme delight. And now after they had finished cutting circles, spinning on their heads and thumping the ice for some unknown misdemeanor, the students, old and young, grave and gay, had gathered around the bonfire at the farther end of the lake, and after eating their lunch, amused themselves with song and story. Ghost stories for the timid, and witty stories for the dull, until even the grim, silent forest behind seemed to lend its voice to the universal shouts. "And now, Miss Gray, perhaps you can tell us a story, for wTe hear you are good at it,'' exclaimed one enthusiastic student. "Oh, do, Miss Gray," came in chorus. Now if there was one thing Miss Gray could not do, it was to tell stories, so she laughingly complied with, "Now listen, little children," and after a rousing encore, meekly suggested that the meeting adjourn. So, flinging skates over shoulders, with one Knight of the Brave (Heart leading the way home, they and their clamor departed, leaving the lake to the Fairies and Brownies to shoot the shutes down the various twigs and in the ridges made by the skates or to form a ring around the dying embers and dance the Fairy waltz to the music of the stars. With the last witty retore and the last goodbye spoken in the hall, all the gayety and fun went out of Lucy Gray's heart. For in her own room, with no one to see her, she was face to face with herself again and—what was she going to do about it? All week she had been tormented and confronted on every occasion with this one problem. What was she going to do? "If I give any more of my time to that boy," she soliloquized, "Miss Reid will just murder me. She told me today not to pay any more attention to Johnny. I just love him ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 I don't care if he is rebellious, I would be too. The idea of anyone telling him he is stupid and hasn't any good in him. Why, Kate is stupid herself, but that's just it, I simply can't stand it. If I had to have a critic teacher make a pet of me, I 'd quit. She told me Johnny must be restrained by force; the idea! Well, there'll be something doing if I " Lucy pulled off the last stocking and sent it whizzing straight into her favorite begonia, and hopped into bed, adding after a little reflection, "If I don't help him in spite of them all." Lucy had spent a very unsatisfactory day, and as she was returning from dismissing her class her eye fell on Johnuy Nettleton. "Did you want to see me?" asked Lucy. "If yon please," and his face lighted up. Lucy's heart gave a bump. Johnny had not been so polite in weeks. Lucy sat down beside him and Johnny, after a little fidgeting, asked her to show him how to do a problem. "But, Johnny " "Yes, I know, Miss Gray, but you know Miss Saunders don't explain arithmetic right. She knows a lot, but she shoots right over a fellow's head. You explain grammar so fine I thought maybe you'd " "Of course I'll help you if I can. Where is your book? Interest? Well, I don't wonder you don't understand it. I never did when I was your age. How to find the time when the principal rate and amount are given. How do you fine' the interest for one year? That is right. The base times the rate, of course, you see why. Now your interest for one year is thirty-six dollars, but your given interest you tell me is ninety dollars. Now, if the interest for one year " "Miss Gray!" Lucy sprang to her feet as if electrified. There stood Miss Reid in the doorway calmly surveying her from over her spectacles. "Come to my office when you are through." Mjiss Reid had gone, but it seemed as if her voice had left thirty-two degrees of coldness behind her. (To be continued.) THE PRELIMINARY CONTESTS. With the preliminaries in debate and declamation only three weeks off, there is much interest manifested among those who are to take ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger part. The following have entered into the preliminary declamatory contest: Jessie Bryant, Essie Warner, Clara Tarte, Berth Elda Payne, Ina Long, Laura Jaycox, Laura Horn-buckle, Mrs. Faith Pope, Mr. Copeland. Those entering the preliminary debate are: Misses Ada Pence and Gladys Patric, Messrs. D. H. Smith, R. T. Smith, H. F. Smith, C. B. Miller, Jonathan Turner, Noah Davenport, W. R. Nichols, Andrew AJnderson, B. M. Anslow A. D. Foster, G. S. Allison. MARRIED. On January 16, Miss Cassie Gifford and Mr. Thompson were united in marriage at the Lincoln in Seattle. Miss Gifford is a Normal graduate of the class of 1904, and Mr. Thompson attended the Normal for a time. Their home will be in Everson, Wash., where he owns a drug store. FROM THE CLASSROOM. Miss Hays (apologetically): "I want it distinctly understood that that is not my dog. It seems to be a prevailing idea that every time a dog is seen in the halls it belongs to a member of the faculty." Mr. Stone: "Any one showing himself to be ignorant of the rudiments of English grammar shall not receive credits in German and Latin." Mr. Forrest: "Young teachers, when the milk of human kindness turns to clabber, it is • time to get down and out." Miss Moore: "You have the general knowledge of music all right, but you left out some of the details, therefore I can not pass you." Miss Hays to Mr. Smith: "You will recite for us Mr. Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Of course " Mr. Smith: "Really, Miss Hays, I have so much athletic work to do; beside I have to write three or four letters every week to— Mfrss Hays: "Can't you cut it down to once a week?" ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 11 ---------- * The Normal Messenger 11 Mr. Anderson: ' ' What is to be the subject of your thesis ?" "Why—why, I can't tell yet until I have studied some more Browning." "Ugh," said the professor in room 21, "my room is Stone cold." Miss Sperry (in English method): "Did any of you ever see anyone who reminded you of the 'Great Stone Face?' " Jessie Bryant: '' Yes 'm; Mr. Lull.'' JUST LIKE HIM. Prof. Stone (surprising a noisy bunch in the Messenger office) : What kind of an aggregation is this?" Goodell: " It's an aggregation trying to keep warm.'' Prof. S.: "Well, I'll make it hot for you if you don't mind." WANTED:—A bright young girl between the ages of sixteen and thirty, who will relieve a bachelor student of the monotony of cooking, washing dishes, etc. Inquire of Andrew Anderson. There seems to be a general movement prevailing now to consider every man your brother, regardless of nationality. A Fourth year and a Junior were seen together down town last week. THE NORMAL GIRL. She studied neurology, history and such, Wrote essays on topics galore; Took all of the prizes with a sweep and a rushr And crammed her head full of lore; But when she came home at the close of the term, To visit her mother and pa. She eouldn't wash dishes, or make a crust firm, And that shocked poor father and ma. THE NORMAL BOY. And now the boys with professional pride, Are seeking to assume a professional air, The sides of their faces they're trying to hide Behind a delicate semblance of hair. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 12 ---------- a 12 The Normal Messenger "Side-whiskers" thy term them, "are jolly,,r (These miniature men about town), But the girls only smile at their folly, And are seriously calling them "down." There was a young man from Missouri, And he was a jolly, swell guy; He put all the girls in a flurry, When he sent verses on the sly. SOME NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS. Resolved: I will not be so shy of the girls this year.— Roy G . I will concede that Rossie is right—just once.—Carrie S . I will try and have my name appear in the Messenger oftener.—Jessie B . Flunk and the class flunks with you; Pass and you pass alone. Professor Romine performed the experiment and proved entirely to our satisfaction that "a small amount of external stimuli may produce a great amount of reflex action." At the boys' party given on December 15 it is reported that one of the hosts left a Schuh at home and another took a Payne with him. The Junior class at basketball, Try hard as ever they may, Can't get the sphere across the hall And into the basket's way. There was a prim miss from Seattle, A real Joan d' Arc in a battle; When her friends sought to souse her, They found that to arouse her Was worse than a whole bunch of cattle. THE NORMAL STUDENT. He sought to wield a master's rod, And she a schoolma'am be; But of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: It might have been. He now carries a mortar hod, And a washerwoman only is she. The first year Latin class is rejoicing over ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 the fact that it had just twenty-two questions in examination. The Junior B's, being so fond of General Methods, have decided that about half their number (16) will take it again. The Annual Faculty Bench show, it is rumored, will occur some time within the near future in room 31. At prsent the cur, " J e t ," is expected to take the blue ribbon. Formula for thin class—Epley: Let X equal whole class; y equal fbankers; z equal conditions; x minus (y plus z) equal thin class. TYPICAL EXAMINATION QUESTIONS. Physics—What would be the result if an irresistible force were to strike an immovable object ? General Methods—Discuss thoroly the "Chinook" winds, showing (1) the relation between mind and matter; (2) that apperception alone is insufficient data upon which to base our faith in the existence of either. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page [viii] ---------- The Fai* Has opened under new management, with a better selected and finer stock than ever before.

Accent, Page 9 Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington The Western Front FRIDAY FEB. 13, 2004 V-Day campaign seeks to end assaults Students and faculty celebrate anti-violence week with march and carnival By Katie Scaief The Western Front As students and faculty walked to classes in the dense fog Monday morning, some saw red tape guarding landmarks where people had committed sexual assaults on campus in the past. The tape read "Rape Free Zone," and signs explained each incident. Flower petals shifted in the breeze on top of patches of sidewalk and dirt in some zones. "I think a lot of women have been silenced," Western senior Elizabeth Hart said. "A lot have never had the chance to have discussions or dialogue about these things." At noon approximately 20 students participated in a silent march to recognize the assaults, Western's Women's Center co-coordinator Brenna Monahan said. The march was the first event in a week dedicated to ending violence against women. In an effort to increase awareness and stimulate discussion about violence against women, the SEE Violence, PAGE 6 Ben Arnold/The Western Front At eight sites throughout campus, red "Rape Free Zone" tape and flower petals mark the location of past sexual assaults at Western. Career fair gives promise of future jobs for students By Gil Ventura The Western Front While the media portray the job climate as barren, people should not believe everything they hear, said Susan Anderson, employer outreach specialist at the Career Services Center at Western. At Western's winter career fair, employers ranging from nonprofit organizations, such as the Peace Corps, to major corporations, such as Microsoft Corp. and T-Mobile USA, to government agencies, such as the FBI and the Washington State Department of Corrections, set up booths in the Viking Union. Anderson, who coordinated the fair, said the variety of companies is tailored to the broad range of majors Western offers. Hart Hodges, director for Western's Center for Economic and Business Research, said he agreed job growth in Whatcom County is increasing. His research shows that from 1999 to 2000, Whatcom County's 2-percent job growth was greater than the statewide average of approximately 1 percent. From 2002 to 2003, the county's figure peaked at 3.5 percent while statewide job availability declined. More specifically, construction, manufacturing and major industrial sectors are growing in Whatcom County. Western senior Peter Huang, a computer science major, said he spoke to approximately 10 companies at the career fair. Huang said he is graduating this quarter and is slightly nervous at the prospect of not finding a job. "I found the career fair to be very helpful," Huang said. "There were lots of companies related to my major, and hopefully, I'll hear back from them." Western senior Darcy Camden, a communication major, said the career fair gave her a better idea about which available jobs related to her major. Camden said she found it beneficial that employers were open about their hiring and recruiting processes. Job seekers must develop what Anderson calls a "two-minute sound byte," to pitch to employers. This establishes a job hunter's major, general interests, level of education, skills he or she can SEE Jobs, PAGE 4 Anti-USA Patriot Act speaker warns of federal abuses By Katie Scaief The Western Front Mark Polin, head of Whatcom County Northwest Freedom Alliance, lost a cousin in the Sept. 11 attacks. When the U.S. government passed the USA Patriot Act 45 days later, however, Polin said the government was misusing its power. "To be frank, I was really pissed off," said Polin, who served in the U.S. Navy for 18 years. "I felt like it was a slap in the face to everything I had worked for in the Navy." The act allows the government to search personal records :â€” including financial, library and school records â€” without public knowledge and with a legal mandate that the search remain secret. Polin visited Western's campus Wednesday to discuss the Patriot Act with students. He participated in discussions at the Everson Senior Center, the Lynden Public Library and the Northwest Indian College earlier this month. Polin said the government was capitalizing on deaths to promote its own interests with the Patriot Act. According to documents handed out at the meeting from the American Civil Liberties Union, the United States has interrogated 8,000 Arabian and South Asian immigrants without evidence of wrongdoings since the government passed the Patriot Act in 2001. The government has detained thousands of people in federal custody without charges against them and will not release their names, according to the ACLU's documents. "The act itself is totally unpatriotic," Polin said. "Who knows what can be done in the name of fighting terrorism?" The act threatens the U.S. Constitution by suppressing freedom of speech, allowing unwarranted searches and denying people the right to a fair trial, according to the SEE Patriot, PAGE 6 Temporary tax relief may keep Intaleo alive By Lauren Fior The Western Front Vicki Henley, a union representative for Alcoa-Intalco Works aluminum . smelter plant in Ferndale, said her job is a daily struggle for survival. "(The energy prices) take away our job security because we don't know what could happen," Henley said. Washington state legislators are in the process of reviewing House Bill 2339, which would provide temporary tax relief for the . Washington aluminum smelter plants. Rep. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, said the bill is a tax package that includes $2.7 million in tax breaks that will sustain Intaleo until 2006. In a recent press release, Ericksen said the 2001 energy crisis forced most of the state's aluminum smelter plants that run on energy, including Intaleo, to shut down. Ericksen said later that because of the energy crisis, the only aluminum smelter plants remaining in Washington are located in Ferndale and Wenatchee. In 2006, Bonneville Power Administration will reconsider electricity prices with Intaleo, Ericksen said. "(Whatcom County) is in jeopardy of losing the. plant," Sen. Dale Brandland, R-Bellingham gt; said. "If it does close, it is not likely it will re-open." Brandland said Intaleo has shrunk from 1,000 to 400 workers in the past few years. "The tax initiative will help maintain production at the plant and continue employing its 400 SEE Intaleo, PAGE 6 Ben Arnold/ The Western Front Alcoa-Intalco Works employee Dan Timmer inspects finished aluminum product at Intalco's plant in Ferndale.

Stricter regulations cause beef industry to protest The cattle industry's dominant trade group, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, supported the U.S. government in requiring stricter regulations for food safety because of the the Yakima mad cow disease incident. Some ranchers may break away from the association, however, in protest of mandatory marketing fees. Ranchers said they favor labeling beef originating in the United States.

The funding will come from a $373 billion congressional spending bill that the U.S. Congress has approved. President George W. Bush is expected to sign it within the next two weeks. The St. Joseph Hospital Pursuing Perfection Project's manager Mary Minniti said the program is aimed at aiding patients in managing their health care. The current $250,000 grant would go toward programs like it. The project is one of seven organizations in the country that originally received $1.9 million in funding two years ago from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a grant-funding group that seeks to provide money for. medical research. "We need a different = kind of health care system," Minniti said. "We have got to develop a sustainable chronic care system." Minniti said the project's main focus is to reduce the need for expensive hospital visits by helping people do more to manage their own health care and detect health care problems before they fully develop. "Seventy percent of baby boomers will 'Seventy percent of baby boomers will have chronic health problems'. Mary Minniti Pursuing Perfection Project manager said. "We are living longer, and part of the aging process is the development of health problems." One of the ways the project aims to accomplish its goal of I Mâ€”' increasing patients' involvement in their own health care is through the Shared Care Plan, a booklet available in print form as well as through Web sites that allows patients to list their medical information, such as medications they are taking or any medical conditions that could influence their health. "If s a way to help patients organize their have chronic health problems," Minniti information," said Heather Wilson, project coordinator at Pursuing Perfection. Once a patient has registered as part of the Shared Care Plan, information such as allergies to medications, medical history and a list of current medications would be available to doctors and emergency- room personnel. "The shared care program would be a tremendous help for us because of the medication list," said Pat Wentworth, director of critical care at St. Joseph Hospital. "It's a difficult process if the patient does not have up-to-date information on their medication." The Shared Care Plan is in a trial process for patients with diabetes and congestive heart failure, but once the system is in place, patients will be able to use the system regardless of their illnesses or conditions, Minniti said. Jobs: Career-fair representatives give students tips on interviews Continued from Page 1 contribute as an employee and any personal connections to the company, to pitch to potential employers. Students also should ask employers questions about the application and interview process and ask job scouts for career advice, Anderson said. "Students always feel at the mercy of someone else," Anderson said. "Taking a little control of the job search makes a huge difference." Anderson said students should refine communication and technical skills while in school. "Overall, across all job fields, skills in writing, presentation and one-on-one communication are important," Anderson said. Competence in a wide range of computer applications would be beneficial, she said. Dressing in business attire, being prepared with a resume and researching the company impresses employers, Anderson said. "Anytime you make contact with an employer, consider it an interview," said Marcia Lewis, assistant director for operations at the Career Services Center. In the end, those in the job hunt must know how to present themselves, said Homer S. Smith, a June 2001 Western graduate who represented American Express at the fair. "In any career, you have to know how to sell yourself," Smith said. "Sales skills are a must." Hodges said those entering the job market must consider what the job will require in the future. He cited an auto mechanic who in the future must be knowledgeable in computers, plastics, ceramics, and fuel- cell and internal combustion engines. "The demands in terms of knowledge and study in job fields are going up," Hodges said. Hodges said those searching for careers must learn to adapt to the changing market because the average worker makes four to five career changes in his or her lifetime. College graduates should not become discouraged if their first jobs do not suit them, Anderson said. "You don't have to guess right on the first time," Anderson said. "If it doesn't work out, ifs not a prison sentence. Think â€” it's the first job I have applied for, not the last."

' | ---------- Western Front 2004 February 13 - Page 5 ---------- ^r February 13, 2004 NEWS The Western Front â€¢ 5 Economist predicts bright future for Whatcom County businesses said. "We are blessed with a wide range of businesses to create a stable economy." The presence of large employers like Western and Whatcom Community College help to maintain a steady level of employment, Asmundson said. "Bellingham is doing better than other cities its size," Conerly said. "This city has an attractive quality of life that draws people to it." Bellingham's future is positive because of economic stability and job growth, Conerly said. "By the time college seniors are graduating in June, it'll be a much better job market than last year," Conerly said. The forum featured local business leaders in tourism, manufacturing and real estate. Drew Schmidt, chairman of the city's Visitor and Convention Board, discussed the state of tourism in Whatcom County. Every year, the tourism industry brings $339 million to the county, which has the fifth highest visitor spending in the state. It created 6,920 jobs, which is 10 percent of the workforce, as well as generating $6 million in sales tax, Schmidt said. "The industry should see some steady growth, about 4 to 5 percent for 2004," Schmidt said. Tourism also is an important source of revenue nationally, bringing in $93 billion in taxes each year, Schmidt said. "Without the taxes created by tourism, every household would pay $884 more in taxes," Schmidt said. Mike Kent, immediate past president of the Whatcom County Association of Realtors, spoke on behalf of the real estate industry. He estimated that 2004 will bring a 15 percent to 20 percent increase in the price of condominiums and homes in Bellingham. At this rate, a $200,000 home would increase in value by $54 a day, Kent said. Escalating prices will make it more difficult for students to buy houses after they graduate, although few Western graduates remain in Bellingham/ Kent said. Even for students who are renting, higher prices for homes create more expensive rental rates to cover their mortgages, he said. Bellingham also offers a low number of residences for sale. As of Saturday, only 202 residences were listed for sale in the city, which is approximately one-third of the number available at this time in 2003, Kent said. "We have more real estate agents than we have residences to sell," Kent said. "It's a very tight market." Abbe Rolnick, CEO of Cascade DAFO Inc., represented the medical manufacturing industry. Cascade DAFO makes dynamic ankle foot orthotics, which are walking braces. She expects a 5 percent to 6 percent growth in her industry through 2004. A growing concern for her is federal Medicare cuts and state" Medicaid cuts. "Our growth is assured, but those who can't afford the products may have to go without," Rolnick said. Federal cuts in reinbursments for procedures and devices mean the state has to pay for coverage. But because states are in a budget crisis themselves, state government officials may decide not to cover problems that are not life- threatening or reimburse a smaller amount for care received, Rolnick said. "Many areas of the medical industry, on all levels from doctors up, will feel the crunch from federal cuts," Rolnick said.

Hie "V" stands for valentine, vagina and victory, Monahan said. Helping people become comfortable talking about sexual assault is the first step to ending violence against women, Monahan said. Eve Ensler's "Vagina Monologues" launched the V-Day movement in 1998 to end violence against women and girls throughout the world, according to V-Day, a nonprofit corporation that financially supports such efforts. Ensler wrote the play to increase publicity about violence against women and based it on conversations she had with women and girls of all ages. In the past three years, students reported only three rapes to the University Police, Monahan said, but many more came to the Women's Center for support after rape and sexual assault. "(Reporting rape) can be a really humiliating process," Monahan said. "Especially if it is a date rape â€” that's just a difficult process." Many women feel ashamed of being rape victims, and some take the blame for it, Monahan said. Others do not want to report date rape because they do not want to blame the rapist, who usually is a friend, as a criminal, she said. Sixteen- to 24-year-old women are most likely to be raped, according to Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of Bellingham. An estimated 350 rapes occur per year on college campuses with approximately 10,000 females, according to a 2000 study by the Department of Justice. Lynn Thomas of Western's Registrar Office said 6,773 women enrolled at Western this winter, which equates to approximately 237 rapes per year on Western's campus. This year's V-Day campaign began two weeks ago with the display of a painting by Daniel Zimmerman outside the Viking Union, Monahan said. The painting depicted a naked woman and presented information about the V-Day campaign. The administration confiscated the painting a few hours later, Monahan said. The frame received damage in the process, she said. Jim Schuster, director of Viking Union facilities, said the placement of the painting was inappropriate because people did not have an option not to see it. "We moved it, and it fell apart, so it wasn't safe," Schuster said. Schuster said he did not confiscate the painting; he removed it because the Women's Center prematurely displayed it prematurely. He said anything to be displayed outside the VU must first go through a review process. Schuster said he also removed the painting because a woman complained about the bare breasts. Monahan said the Women's Center covered the breasts so people would be able to see the painting and still read the information. It is on display outside the VU. It will be onstage for the three performances of the Vagina Monologues this weekend, without the breasts covered, she said. Tuesday, the AS special events group organized the V-Day Carnival to raise money local Katie Scaief/The Western Front Rachel Leigh Bowman from the band Some by Sea performs Tuesday night at Western's Vagina Carnival. women's shelters. Robin Cutler, Some by Sea and Racetrack performed music. Between acts, 10 women, including nine Western students, took turns performing the "Vagina Dialogues," during which they told personal accounts of their experiences with violence, rape, sexuality and being female. Students also decorated vagina cookies/played the vagina throw and learned about feminist issues. A raffle at the carnival raised approximately $100 for the benefit, said Shannon Woodard, a Western junior and AS special events coordinator who organized the event. "It's amazing how things like this bring women together," Woodard said. "You can say things like, T masturbated this morning/ and everybody cheers for you." Patriot: Western will address act Continued from Page 1 ACLU's documents. "The ironic part of it is that those who raise their voices in dissent are being criticized as unpatriotic," Polin said. Western junior Alanna Ahern, who serves as the budget authority for the Western Freedom Alliance, said ports and military bases need security strengthening, but sweeping security policies like the Patriot Act are unnecessary. Ahern said the alliance is a student organization on campus that works to protect civil liberties. "I think it's possible to maintain national security while also having civil liberties," Ahern said. People in the United States have feared looking at the motives of terrorism because they do not want to question whether their government is doing anything wrong, Harvey said. Western sophomore. Jack McDonald said Americans should look at the U.S. foreign policy throughout the past 50 years as one of the root causes of terrorism. "Throughout history, we have constantly backed up the wrong guy," McDonald said. Though McDonald said he does not believe U.S. actions justify terrorism, they make it easier to understand the motives of terrorist actions. Without recognizing the root causes of terrorism, it will be impossible to defeat, he said. Grass-roots movements are fighting the unconstitutionality of the Patriot Act, Polin said. The Whatcom County Council is reviewing a resolution opposed to the Patriot Act, he said. Other areas, including New York City, already have passed such resolutions. "I think that each person has their own breaking point when they are willing to stand up and say, I 'm not going to take it anymore,' " he said. The Associated Students Board expressed opposition to sections of the Patriot Act last fall. AS President Paul Graves said he did not support the resolution because it was not appropriate for the university to take a political stance on the issue. He said it could draw negative attention to Western. "I think that passing resolutions that seem to be weighted on one side of the political spectrum, that aren't directly related to students, can get us in a lot of trouble," Graves said. Polin said he fears the Bush administration will use the Patriot Act to label opposing candidates in the 2004 presidential election as unpatriotic. The Faculty Senate and the Associated Students Board will sponsor an all-university assembly at 4 p.m. on Thursday in the Science, Mathematics and Technology Education building, room 150, to address the Patriot Act. Experts will present information about the act and open the topic for discussion. The Faculty Senate will vote on a resolution related to the Patriot Act on Feb. 23. Intalco: Tax breaks would not be enough to hire new employees, only to keep plant open Continued from Page 1 workers/' Brandland said. He said aluminum plants are a major part of the industry. "The bill will help Alcoa maintain production at its current rate," Brandland said. He said Intalco is not planning to hire new workers after tax breaks â€” it is simply trying to stay open. Ericksen said the cutoff day for state Senate and House committee decisions is March 1. By March 11, the Senate and House must pass or fail the bill. Intalco lobbyist Sandi Swarthout said the bill passed the House of Representatives' two committees and is in its final stage of the Senate's second committee. Ericksen said four actions will help Intalco to stay in business: locking in electric rates from BPA, introducing temporary tax breaks for aluminum companies, adopting regulatory business changes for Intalco and creating a long- term energy source at a reliable price. "Smelters are very costly to run due to energy prices," Henley said. High electricity prices are causing the company to produce at one-third of its capacity, Henley said. "(The initia.tive) gives us a ray of hope," Henley said. "It gives us a lifeline until 2006 when BPA lowers their rates." Ericksen said he preferred not to comment on whether Intalco would continue its relationship with BPA after 2006 because he does not have enough information regarding Intalco's future plans. "Every legislator in the district has worked hard on this bill," Swarthout said. She said the bill will be successful because of the legislators' bipartisan effort. "On this issue most of them are in agreement," Swarthout said. She said the legislators are working together and taking initiative. She also said she rarely sees so much interest in a bill from so many legislators. Henley said she usually is not an advocate of tax-break initiatives, but she said this bill would not harm the community because the bill contains a sunset clause, meaning it is not permanent. Ericksen said his incentive for sponsoring this bill is to keep families in Whatcom County working at Intalco. "Tax breaks are a bridge to get us to where we can fight again," Ericksen said. *H ZZEEIA FREE DELIVERY 1230 N. State â€¢ 647-7547 i ^siftdthtwe wj 'ifccleifit can give ^ ' r o a ^ .

He inhaled abruptly â€” but deeply â€” through his nose and then exhaled slowly through his mouth. The needle made its way through the spongy flesh of his lower lip, creating a path for his new lip ring. Feist is one of many people in Bellingham who is choosing an alternative to the common ear piercing of the past. Nose, lips, nipples and genitals are all on the menu at the five tattoo and piercing shops in Bellingham. But for some, like Seattle resident Jerome "J.J." Moiso, th^ thrill lies in more advanced piercings, such as the madison (on the front of the neck, between the collar bones), the ampallang (horizontally through the head of the penis through the urethra) or the corset (a series of rings up the back, tied together with lace or ribbon). "Ears and tilings like that are bread and butter," Moiso said. "These (advanced piercings) aren't scratches on the surface." Moiso, a co-owner of Apocalypse Tattoo in Seattle, takes part in a movement called urban primitive, also known as modern primitive. This combines the tribal, spiritual aspect of body modification with modern-day techniques. Practices such as suspension, where a person is hangs by hooks placed in his or her body, scarification and branding are becoming integrated into mainstream society, Moiso said. "It's like enlightenment," he said. "I think everybody is trying to look inside themselves. For some, the pain helps." The pain comes from having a hook, or hooks, placed under the skin deep enough so that it, or they, will support a person's weight. The person then hangs from the hooks for two or three hours. "You have to feel it to get it," Moiso said. "It's a badge of honor in some cases." Moiso said he is a member of a small Seattle subculture of approximately 20 to 30 people who practice suspension. The high levels of trust involved with suspensions help people achieve the spiritual quest they are looking for, Moiso said. He said it took him more than two years for acquaintances to allow him to participate in a suspension. "(Suspensions are) family stuff," Moiso said. "It's people who you know and trust with your life." Moiso said people are constantly pushing the limits of body modification. "Td,''rne^'"there"reaIIyâ€¢"'â€¢isn't an end to it," he said. "If people want to go to extremes, then they have to live with the consequences." Some people have taken body modification away from conventional wisdom, Photo courtesy of Jerome "JJ."

This is a piercing where large rings, usually on the back, are tied together with ribbon. this lifestyle do it for themselves. They don't want to be the sheep â€” they want to be the black sheep." Society has been increasingly accepting of those with piercings, Polinder said. "Only loose women and gypsies had pierced ears (30 years ago)," he said. He said society approves of body modifications because of people's innate desire to add beautiful items to their bodies. "(This) is a progression of a basic need to adorn ourselves," Polinder said. Despite these advancements society has yet to become receptive to all these practices, he said. "Try to get a loan or go to a (professonal) meeting â€” it ain't cool," he said. Cartman Malice, a piercer at Old School Tattoo in Bellingham, said people are losing touch with the tribal tradition of piercing and tattooing. "It's cool that more people are getting pierced, but it's killing off the tradition," Malice said. Malice said the bulk of his clientele are college students looking to push their personal limits by having a piercing that most of society would label as odd. "For the most part, it's college kids looking to do something extreme but not too extreme," he said. For Moiso, the pain endured during a piercing is a way to achieve the goals of getting in touch with oneself. "It's like enlightenment," he said. "It's better for yourself if you learn from yourself." Photos by Justin McCaughan/The Westen Front Western sophomore Brandon Feist gets his lip pierced at Camden Chameleon on Tuesday. An increasing number of college students are getting less-traditional piercings. Moiso said. People have amputated digits and implanted horns in their foreheads, and men have sliced open their scrotums to remove testicles. Bryan Polinder, owner of Bellingham's Kalamalka Studios, .said people who commit themselves to these types of body modifications are lifestylers, which means they will continue to do it for the rest of their lives. Lifestylers are not yet present in Bellingham, and he said he does not expect the modern primitive movement to make its way to the city because of ^Bellingham's small size. "For me, it's a lifestyle commitment because we do look different than anyone else," Moiso said. 'Living in the Northwest, it's a great thing.

Western sophomores Luke Bennet and Tim Feenstra each Diggs' career high secures Jackson's 350th win By Jelena Washington The Western Front High percentage shooting and a productive bench served Brad Jackson, the Western men's basketball head coach; his 350th career win-Thursday at Carver Gym. The Vikings stomped the Seattle University Redhawks 91-69. "The win is a nice milestone, and I feel fortunate to have been coaching here for as long as I have," said Jackson, who is coaching his 19th season at Western. "It feels gratifying, and I have a great support system around me. in the athletic department." The Vikings allowed the Redhawks a one-point lead in the first two minutes of the game, but a jumper by sophomore guard Grant Dykstra secured the Vikings a lead that stretched until the final buzzer. Three-point shots fell effortlessly from the hands of Vikings players as they knocked down eight in the first 15 minutes. Sophomore guard Ryan Diggs had a career- high 27 points, leading the team in scoring. "Ryan focused tonight and was taking shots at all the right times," Jackson said. Late in the first half, in an effort to slow a 30-8 Western run/Seattle came out with a full-court press that the Vikings players easily dribbled and passed their way through. "The press worked to our advantage, and my players' eyes light up when teams try and press us," Jackson said. Sophomore guard Kyle Jackson said pressure works well with the type of game Western plays. "The other team's style slowed us down, so we were glad (when) they started to press us during the second half," he said. The Redhawks tried to keep pace in the second half, but the ViMngs kept a strong lead. "Our style is running, and we play better when the pace is fast," Western senior guard Jason Burrell said. Foul trouble put Burrell on the pine early in the game, but Kyle Jackson stepped up and scored 10 points off the bench. Freshman forward Lukas Henne had 11 bench points after junior center Rod Picou received two fouls within the first six minutes. Dykstra recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Six-foot-7-inch junior forward Craig Roosendaal added 11 points. "It does not matter if I played or not â€” our bench is deep enough to handle it," Burrell said. "The team played well from tip-off to the final buzzer." Coach Jackson said his bench is key to the team's success because any one of the players could be starters. The Vikings improved to 8-4 S E E ^kes gt;EAGE 12 Chris Taylor/The Western Front Western sophomore guard Ryan Diggs sizes up Seattle University freshman guard Ryan Webb on Thursday at Carver Gym^Dig lt;gs?s^ore^^ High school stars would be sidelined in the NFL Matt Hietala COMMENTARY While the first high school player to declare himself eligible for the NFL draft will make headlines in every paper throughout the country in the near future, his impact on the league will be minimal. A federal judge ruled two weeks ago that the league could not prevent 20-year-old former Ohio State University running back Maurice Clarett, or any other young player, from entering this year's draft despite the fact that he was not yet the NFL's required three years removed from high school. While the NFL is appearing this ruling, it should not bother. Some players will succeed, such as spectacular college players like Larry Fitzgerald, who broke a handful of records during two seasons as a University of Pittsburgh wide reciever. Prep stars, on the other hand, will not. Prep football superstars salivate at the thought of leap-frogging college and heading straight into the pros, but this ruling will not change much about the NFL. Former prep stars have excelled at making the jump to the pros in other sports, including LeBron James' much publicized move to the NBA, but professional foot; ball is not the same. Football is a physical - game in which players build their lives around growing stronger and faster. Stringbeans like Kevin Garnett, who lept from high school to the NBA nine years ago, need not apply. These prepsters looking to jump straight to the NFL have not had the proper physical and mental development, such as learning how to take a hit and the proper tackling angles. Once drafted, they likely will spend their first handful of years on the scout team. Instead of developing their skills on Saturdays in front of national television audiences, these athletes would spend those would-be glory days with football machines pummeling them. The professional players would rise to the top at training camp, and poor Johnny Prepster would be forgotten. Along with Johnny Prepster's body, the only thing hurting would be the elite college football program that missed out on a few years of Heisman Trophy hype. Exceptions will surely arise from the high school ranks. A few prep superstars will make their mark. But those players will come along with great rarity. These young, hot-shot adolescents are not ready to compete with men who "play" to support their children. Dominating brace-faced, pimpled 15- and 16- year-olds is not quite the same. Consider that while young Johnny Prepster is waking up to his customary bowl of Fruit Loops, All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis' personal cook is preparing a protein- packed breakfast specifically catered to his training. As Johnny Prepster dozes in his 10 a.m. pre- algebra class, Oakland's future Hall of Famer Jerry Rice has just finished his second set of a dozen 100-yard sprints. Loafing through P.E. class, Johnny Prepster is thinking about Sweet Suzy from math class while the Chiefs' Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez is sweating through another round of computer- engineered weight-training sessions. While they both hit the field for practice at'2:30 p.m., the prep star and his NFL counterparts obviously have not prepared their bodies in the same way. Johnny Prepster is still a high school student dealing with history tests and book reports. After a few weeks as the team's tackling dummy and No. 7 running back, Johnny Prepster will wish he had enrolled in that college that wanted him so badly. Instead, he finds himself on. the sidelines of an NFL game, his impact only felt by the water cooler. "" gt; $*iÂ§ffÂ»d â€”Mfmmmm ?

Muscles were tense, and noise was constant. Sprinters sporadically circled the track, and athletes gathered throughout the University of Washington's Dempsey Indoor Field. This is what Western junior thrower Kim Radke said she experienced when competing in her first indoor track meet Jan. 18 at the UW. In an effort to perform at a high level from the start of the season, members of Western's track and field team participated in the Husky Indoor Preview meet series. "It's a different atmosphere," Radke said. "It seems like there's a lot more people and a very small area that we're all confined to. The track is right next to the throwing area, so there is a lot of distractions from that." Radke competed in the Jan. 18 and Feb. 1 indoor previews. She placed eighth in the weight throw at the second meet. This past season, she qualified to compete in the 2003 discus and hammer throw at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships, although she does not focus on the discus in practice. "I don't have too many goals for the discus, but I plan to go to Charlotte Chandler/The Western Front Western freshman Lindsey Cox refines her high-jump technique while practicing on the turf field next to the Wade King Student Recreation Center. conference for it, as weil as the shot (put) and hammer," she said. "I just do (discus) for points. Ihave personal goals for the other two." This is the first season Western's track team, which consists of approximately 55 men and 60 women, has competed in indoor events, coach Kelvin "Pee Wee" Halsell said. The indoor previews helped prepare the team for the upcoming season opener on March 6, Halsell said. "It's a matter of going and seeing what the other team has," he said. Western sophomore jumper Paul Danforth placed third in the men's long jump Feb. 1. He said he anticipates a season of improved personal records. "I think we have a lot more depth this year," Danforth said. "I think all our jumpers will go to' conference. We work hard every day, so it's bound to pay off. By the time outdoor season comes, we'll already have a few meets under our belts." As of Monday's GNAC indoor standings, SPU and Western Oregon women owned three of the top-four positions in the high and long jump. Halsell said Western's main rivals are Western Oregon, Seattle Pacific and Central Washington universities. Western Oregon's women also maintain the top three spots in the shot put and 20-pound weight throw. Standings from this season's indoor meets also show that Central and Western Oregon men's teams dominating the 55- meter dash, with Central holding the top six rankings. Those schools also maintain the top three positions in the 35- pound weight throw and the top five in the shot put. Western sophomore sprinter Dustin Wilson competed in the 400-meter relay and placed first in the men's 60-meter hurdles Jan. 18. He had to miss the second meet because of a sore leg, but he said he has high expectations for the running team, which should compete well this season because of returning sprinters and new, young runners. The men's 1,600-meter relay team placed first Feb. 1. "We're usually above average but not on top, so we're expecting big things from these guys," he said. Western sophomore jumper Amy Kruckeberg placed second in the high jump Feb. 1. She said she enjoys indoor meets because weather is not a factor. "You don't have to worry about hail," she said. Kruckeberg has a slightly different opinion of the high jump team than her sprinting teammates have about the runners. "It's the beginning of the season, so there's room for everyone to improve," Kruckeberg said. The first home meet for the team will be March 6 at 10 a.m. at Civic Stadium. ---------- Western Front 2004 February 13 - Page 12 ---------- The Western Front â€¢ 12 SPORTS February 13, 2004 'Shark's' bite will not hinder Wie's game iifHHUHBlli Gil Ventura COMMENTARY Michelle Wie, a 14-year-old female golf prodigy, stands 6 feet tall and consistently drives a golf ball 300 yards. At the Sony Open, a PGA event, Wie missed the final cut by just one stroke. Despite Wie's impressive accolades, the man they call "the shark," Greg Norman, altogether denounced the possibility of women playing in a men's tournament while preparing for the Heineken Classic in Melbourne, Australia. What Norman failed to realize is that Wie's participation in men's tournaments benefits the game. ;. ,- â€¢ Norman; made the comments in response to the appearance of Laura Davies, a U.S. Ladies Professional Golf Association player, in the ANZ championship. On Thursday, Davies was the first woman to appear in a European-and Australian- sanctioned PGA event. "I think the situation is more of a marketing ploy than anything else," Norman said. "If the girls come out and think they can play against the guys and fail every time, that can't be very positive." Wie is the youngest player to compete in a PGA tour event and nearly became the first female to make the final cut in a men's competition since Babe Didrikson Zaharias in 1945. In her short professional career, Wie's impact on the game has been tremendous. At 13, she competed at the 2003 Kraft Nabisco Championship and reached the final pairings alongside Annika Sorenstam and eventual winner Patricia Meunier-Lebouc. Wie became the youngest player to win the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links later in the year. At the Sony Open, Wie averaged 270 yards off the tee, which was just less than the tournament average of 301.9 yards. She will transcend the game of golf. She has the skill, talent and persona to become a star. At such a young age with so much potential, she may ascend to the same level in golf as Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan did in their respective sports. Wie's mighty swing could "capture the world's imagination. .r "When you see her hit a golfball, there's nothing that prepares yo^iforjlf;/. said Fred Couples, the 1994 PGAij^^player of the year gt; in Golf World magazine. "It's just the scariest thing you've ever seen." Wie brings energy, urgency and badly-needed diversity to a sport that has not seen this leyel of enthusiasm'.: since Tiger Woods won the 1997 Masters tournament. . The PGA, notorious for its racist and elitist past, has been slow to embrace societal change. Until 1961, the PGA's "Caucasian clause" prohibited minorities from joining. In 1990, the PGA selected the Shoal Creek Country Club, located in Birmingham, Ala., as the site for the PGA Championship. Its founder generated controversy by saying the club would not be forced into allowing black members to play its course. Under pressure from the PGA, the club eventually changed its policy. In 1991, the Augusta National Golf Club allowed its first black member, Ronald Townsend, former president of the Gannett Television Group, to join since its inception in 1933. Since Townsend, the club has only admitted only one other black member and no women. The fact that diversity in golf has increased the sport's popularity is no coincidence. At the same time, Norman also said Wie may become a victim of the overwhelming pressures of becoming a professional athlete at a young age. "I'd be very concerned for. her that she doesn't get burnt out at such a young age," Norman said. In essence, Norman is cautious of Wie's youth. He does not understand, however, that Wie is not a child. After all, children do not tie U.S. Open champions, such as fifth-ranked Jim Furyk, in competitions. Wie has every right to condition her game against the best competition. She should not have to compete against inferior opponents when she is capable of defeating the best. Norman said the men's tour should address the issue of women playing in PGA tournaments with rule changes. With the recent influx of women playing on men's tours, the men's tour has every right to vote to exclude women from their playing field â€” it would be a shame to deny a once-in-a- generation talent like Wie her full potential. If Norman believes that a 14-year-old girl playing golf damages the sanctity of his sport, then he is misguided. Wie, along with other women, has the skill and the athletic ability to compete with men. Wie is not a novelty or a "a marketing ploy."

People should ignore the media's negative portrayal of Stewart and give her a fair chance to prove herself innocent of the charges. Stewart faces allegations that broker Douglas Faneuil gave her a tip that ImClone Systems Inc. executives were selling the company's stock, according to court documents. This inside information supposedly gave Stewart an unfair advantage. Stewart's empire is known for apple pies and valentines made to perfection. This annoyed one too many Americans, making her an easy target for the accusations. While Stewart's loyal fans appreciate the near-perfection she achieves, others resent the successful businesswoman. By selling 3,928 ImClone shares in December 2001 for $58 per share, Stewart made approximately $230,000, according to court documents. If she sold the stock the day after she allegedly received the tip, Stewart would have made approximately $180,000, a difference of roughly $50,000, according to court documents. The $50,000 she made by selling the stock early was pennies compared to Stewart's net worth, which Forbes magazine estimated at $650 million. The scrutiny has cost her far more than the trade. Her company's stock has lost value, and her reputation has suffered incalculable damage. Federal prosecutors did not actually accuse Stewart of criminal insider-trading charges, according to court documents. Instead, she is on trial for six counts: One count of conspiracy for allegedly working with her stockbroker to make false statements denying insider trading, three counts of false statements denying insider trading, one count of obstruction of justice and one count of securities fraud on the basis that she deceived her shareholders while trying to maintain her reputation, according to court documents. SEE Stewart, PAGE 15 Aaron Apple COMMENTARY While President George W. Bush is busy fighting the war against terrorism, the government desperately needs to fight a war against corporate crime. The finances of big businesses need better monitoring to prevent these crimes. Too much money has been lost, and those who have dorte the damage have not suffered the consequences: "The malignancy of corporate corruption threatens more than the future of a few companies," U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said at a news conference in September. "It destroys workers' incomes, decimates families' savings and casts a shadow on the health, integrity and good name of American business itself." Undoubtedly, corporate crime is hurting the economy of the United States and its people. According to a Jan. 26 Reuters article, MCI, also known as WorldCom, avoided paying state taxes from 1998 to 2001, and the company went bankrupt. MCI is now able to sue former chief executive Bernard Ebbers, former accountant Arthur Andersen LLP and Citigroup Inc. for their roles in the $11 billion accounting scandal. The roughly $200 billion lost in MCI's implosion would be impossible to repay to shareholders, even if MCI took action. If the shareholders cannot be repaid, then the government needs to severely punish those responsible for the loss. Enron, the former energy giant and seventh largest firm in the United States/paid no income tax between 1996 and 1999. U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland said in a February 2001 statement that Enron gave 4,000 of its former employees $4,500 after they lost their jobs to help them through the transition period before finding other jobs. Some of these people had invested heavily in Enron stock and are losing money. The consequences of the Enron scandal are immeasurable and will continue to affect people for generations.

The bait includes frequent-flier miles, magazine subscriptions and those $5 fake-Oakley sunglasses one can buy at the state fair. Unfortunately, college students throughout the United States are biting. This practice must stop because these companies are bleeding the green out of helpless students while contributing to a nationwide debt problem. Students double their credit-card debt and triple the number of cards in their wallet between the time they arrive on campus and the time they graduate, according to the CBS News Web site. In addition, by the time college students reach their senior years, 31 percent carry a credit balance of $3,000 to $7,000, according to the site. Credit-card companies do not seem to care about student debt, since college freshmen receive an average of eight credit card offers in their first semester, according to the site. College students should not have to worry about paying off their tab at The Royal or that $120 pink vest from The North Face â€” they should be worried about studying so they can pass their classes. Good credit is crucial to financial success after graduation. Major purchases, such as a car or house, require a strong credit rating. By sucking students into debt, credit-card companies are leading students down the well-trodden path to bankruptcy. In the first nine months of 2003, approximately 1.3 million people in the United States filed for bankruptcy, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute. As a result of this financial crisis, debt counseling companies and credit repair services have sprouted up across the United States, including five organizations in Whatcom County. These companies make money from the inexperience of college students who do not think to read the fine print on credit-card applications. Many argue that when people turn 18, they have reached a certain elevated level of responsibility. After all, if they are responsible enough to vote, gamble and serve in the military, they should be able to handle credit cards. But many of these young men and women have not lived long enough to gain the experience to make smart financial decisions. Credit-card companies need to realize the practice of preying on financially inexperienced college students is unethical and causes problems that cannot be easily fixed. The Federal Trade Commission or some other body need's to impose stricter regulations on credit-card companies to prevent them from ensnaring students in contracts that gouge them with late fees and interest rates as high as 30 percent. Until this happens, students need to avoid the bait so they do not become financially gutted.

And we quote: a {Do not mistake activity for achievement/' â€”John Wooden France should not ban religious clothini Jelena Washington COMMENTARY France has experienced religious strife within its public school system for years, and members of the national government believe they have found the answer to their troubles: a bah against all religious clothing and symbols. Religiously segregated cafeterias and disturbances by opinionated, religious students are not valid reasons for France to ban religious apparel and symbols in public schools, and this action will only worsen the students' problems. The French National Assembly voted 494 to 36 Tuesday to ban religious wear in public schools. The Upper Chamber must also approve the ban in March. French President Jacques Chirac said the ban will include "ostensibly" religious symbols, such as Muslim headscarves, large Christian crosses and Jewish skullcaps. The consequences for violating the ban will range from a first-time warning to suspension or even expulsion. Minister of National Education Luc Ferry said this law would extend past religious garb and will force students to attend physical education and human reproductive classes. French teachers have complained about students using religion as an excuse to skip physical education, or Muslim girls boycotting human reproductive lessons because they are too graphic. This still is no reason for a ban to be enacted. It does not matter what the students are wearing because their values will stay the same. French teachers should be able to enforce whether students will attend classes without such a ban. The government should instead make a law to prevent students from using religion as an excuse. It would make the government seem less reactionary. If anything, the uproar from Muslim students will heighten after the ban is put into effect in September. Distraught Muslims have taken to the streets in Baghdad and Beirut, Lebannon, protesting the ban. France has Western Europe's highest Muslim population of approximately 5 million. The SEE France, PAGE 16 Clinton, Gorbachev show Grammys are useless Wolfgang Deerkop ON THE ROCKS In an effort to prove the only thing easier than winning a Grammy is catching bird flu in a Vietnamese chicken market, the Grammy committee has started to give away the once-coveted trophies like party favors at a 5- year-old's birthday party. For those who did not make it past the hour-long ovations for Beyonce, former President Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Russian dictator, have joined the ranks of those two guys from Milli Varolii â€” not as has-beens, but as Grammy award-winning artists. Clinton and Gorbachev received the award in the "best spoken word album for children" category for their contributions to an audio recording of "Peter and the Wolf," made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of the work's composer, Sergey Prokofiev. For any who have not brushed up on global politics lately, Gorbachev is the old Russian guy with a crimson birthmark covering most of his head, Clinton is the young American guy who at times had an intern covering his head and Prokofiev was a Russian composer who apparently created "Peter and the Wolf." . . Incredibly, Bill is not the first Clinton to receive a Grammy. In addition to past award winner George Clinton, the coke-addled Parliament/Funkadelic frontman, former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton won a best spoken word Grammy in 1996 for an audio recording of her book "It Takes a Village." Hillary also received nomination this year for another audio reading, this time for her newest book, the autobiography "Living. History." She lost, however, to fellow uber4iberal Al Franken, who wrote "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right." I do not understand the allure of listening to Hillary gloat about her lifetime of academic and political achievements. Let's face it, the only reason anyone bought the second book was to see if she was going to dish any dirt on Bill's indiscretions with his cigar collection.

The $11 billion is affecting more people; therefore, the judicial system should punish "corporate criminals'' more swiftly and severely than marijuana possessors. Some would argue that because the cases are so complicated, authorities should take time to thoroughly investigate and ensure that the charged are guilty. Conspiracy cases often involve many people working for different agencies or corporations. The government should conduct a thorough investigation, but it does not seem fair to let someone who has been connected to such a large-scale crime go free for so long. The government needs to take action to prevent these crimes from happening. Americans look differently at these crimes than others. Street and violent crimes directly affect many people, and they often receive the most attention on the nightly news. Because of the other recent scandals, the government should start paying more attention to large corporations. They should monitor companies' finances better to make sure they are not cutting corners and hurting the nation's economy.

I have seen some cool album notes in my time, but none of them deserve a Grammy, and no actual Americans listen to polka music except Weird Al Yankovic and a small band of convalescents living in retirement homes in rural Wisconsin. Polka's time has come and gone, and it should be shunned, defiled and ignored like the "Macarena" and swing music. While it was nice of the Grammy committee to give Gorbachev another award to keep his Nobel Prize company, the industry needs to stop pandering to the rich and famous and start acknowledging artists who work day and night to entertain music lovers worldwide. Stewart: Prosecution seems to be targeting media star because of who she is, not what she may have done Continued from Page 13 Basically, she allegedly lied to prosecutors about a crime they cannot prove she committed. She is on trial for the mere act of publicly proclaiming her innocence, a declaration the U.S. Constitution protects but one prosecutors describe as fraud against her shareholders. These circumstances are curious, and it does look suspicious that Stewart's daughter dated Sam Waksal, the former chief executive officer of biotech company ImClone. Waksal allegedly alerted family and friends, including Stewart's broker Faneuil, of his plans for ImClone. Though this raises questions, Stewart hardly benefited from the trade, whether or not she was aware of what was going to happen to the stocks. Being a former stockbroker, Stewart probably was well aware of the implications of insider trading. Not only has her name taken a pounding, she now faces 30 years in prison and more than $1 million in fines if found guilty of all the charges. Perhaps people are jealous and want to see Stewart fail. She has created a vast media empire under the Martha Stewart Living Omriimedia Co., which incorporates the Martha Stewart Living magazine, the Martha By Mail catalog, the "Martha Stewart Living" and "In Martha's Kitchen" television shows, her regular segments on U.S. morning shows, her many books, her paint line and her Kmart line. Stewart's legal complications seem minor compared to the alleged misdeeds of other large corporations, such as Enron. Stewart's lawyers have suggested that she was targeted because she is a successful woman in a man's world. In general, many Americans seem to have subscribed to the belief that success calls for an equal serving of hate. Stewart is a prime example of a person who is attacked for her success. PREGNANT?

The schools most likely will face rebellions and more disruptive behavior from Muslim students. They will feel more compelled to voice their religious views because they are not wearing the standard clothing. Ferry said the ban will prevent religious segregation within the schools. This claim is inherently weak. What the students wear does not matter because they still will know who belongs to which affiliation. The nature of students is to segregate themselves, and even if French public schools had uniforms, this would occur. High schools and junior high schools are composed almost entirely of cliques and small communities. These groups are not about clothes but rather what a person stands for and who their friends are. The Upper Chamber will vote on the ban, which almost entirely focuses on the Muslim community, in early March. The French government said this law is necessary to safeguard France's secular background and prevent the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. If France is trying to avoid uproar by the Muslim community, then it should not aggravate the Muslims by banning headscarves. The French government is scared that another dominating religion besides Catholicism is threatening the Republic. This is just another way to alienate the Muslims even further from acceptance within French culture. The Muslims are the only religious group that French teachers have publicly complained about. The strict Orthodox Jewish communities that would react to school policies similarly to Muslims send their children to Jewish private schools the state funds. France has only one Muslim school, which opened this past fall in Lille. Opening more private Muslim schools would be a better solution than trying to take away the religion in schools. In an all- Muslim school, the students would be free to express their beliefs openly and not be labeled as disruptive. If this ban passes the Senate in March, France likely will experience more anti- French movements led by Muslims. This law would take away from a student's right to be who he or she wants and to practice what he or she wants to practice. â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢iliMll To the Editor, Friday critiquing the wall currently being which has a much smaller population than tions as being enclosed and constricted by between Israel and Palestine are tenuous at tl|io^ tff|l|||^^ ;i|Â£f|6ft!s3t6^^ :;fteirne^ statistics show that a majority of Israelis frteelssaiy^ | | | f f l Â® r ^ ^ Â»;;!pmtjte SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SAY this is overly cautious.

Dr. Fred Ellis of the education department was selected by the Faculty Communications Committee to succeed James Mulligan, who resigned at the end of spring quarter. Ellis intends to make the News a sounding board for faculty discussion. I would like every faculty member with an opinion tofeel free to express it in Faculty News," he said. "I don't want to make it a debate on polarities, but Iwant all views to be made known. when asked his opinion on the decision handed down by PresidentHarvey C. Bunke during fall quarter, specifying that all editorial comment and news from othercampuses not be printed, Ellis said it was " . . . a terrible mistake to try to turn the News into aschedule." "A free press is one of the most important things that can exist on a campus," he added.'The Faculty News and the Collegian should not and hopefully, will not, be controlled by those whosupport them." As to the importance of the publications to the faculty and students, Ellis says that itdepends on the individual. "Some people don't even look at them, some just read the schedules,and some read and try to understand every article,'' he said. The papers should be concerned withviable news, not just trivia about trees and buildings. "(Elns commended the Collegian for the relevance of its editorials and news this past year.) Faculty News will be publishedMondays during the regularschool year. THE WESTERN WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE Dr. Fred Ellis, new editor of FacultyNews Wages stay at $1.25, says Nusbaum minimum wage excludes students CalUGflN I Vol. LIX No.34 Friday, July 14, 1967 Bellingham, Wn. 98225 Wages for student employees will remain at $1.25 for at least one more year according to Joe Nusbaum, Western's Business Manager. He said that last yearthere was some confusion over whether or not wages would be raised to $1.40 beginning this summer.The confusion, he said, stemmed from the fact that the new state minimum wage is $1.40 and thatmany people assumed that student wages would be raised accordingly. The new minimum wageruling, however, specifically excludes students and employees of other state agencies. Nusbaumfurther said that if the school raised student salaries at this time they would have to cut down on thenumber of student jobs. Nusbaum projected into the future by saying that in July or September of nextyear wages would be increased to $1.40 or $1.45. Student employes at the University of Washingtonare presently paid $1.40. Llords to show theatre in miniature A continuation of Western's 1967Summer Arts and Lectures Program will be Llords' International Marionettes, to be presented at8:30 next Wednesday in the College Auditorium. There will Joe no admission charge. Daniel Llords isthe creator and sole manipulator of the show. His talent has brought him international acclaim as oneof the world's foremost puppeteers. He returns puppetry to a classical atmosphere. The show is adultentertainment and not recommended for children under 12. The program will be in four parts. The firstsection will be "Fantasy on Faust" in two scenes, to the ballet music of Charles Gounod. The secondwill be "Miniature Classics" in six scenes. The third section is the colorful and elaborate "Gaiete Pari-sienne." It is the comic opera of Offenbach, depicting and satirizing the style-conscious Paris at theturn of the century. The final part is "Capriccio Espagnel." This is a visual interpretation of the musical essay by Nicholas Rimsky-Kors-akov. It is the most challenging number, demanding all Llords'virtuosity and dexterity. It frames a small Spanish village, from dawn's religious procession to thefiesta at nightfall. T h e Llords' International Marionettes is theater in miniature. It offers the highcomedy and farce of a thoroughly profes-sional organization. Ballet stars arrested San Francisco â€”Rudolph Nureyev and Mar got Fonteyn, stars of the Royal Ballet Company of London, and RichardCornwell, assistant manager of the Seattle Symphony, were among 17 persons arrested by SanFrancisco police Tuesday at what was called by the Seattle Times " . . . a drug party in the Haight-Ashbury hippie district." Later releases indicated that the group had only been smoking marijuana. Thepair was charged with visiting a place where narcotics were used and with disturbing the peace. Thecharges were later dropped. Nureyev, who has been acclaimed by Time magazine as one of theworld's foremost ballet artists, was in San Francisco with Miss Fonteyn and the Royal BalletCompany for a one week presentation. The Ballet Company will be performing in Seattle soon. Actorsare victimized in lonesco play about duty Play "Victims of Duty" to be shown Thursday through FridayPlay questions the reality of time Time makes slaves of people, thinks innkeeper Ambrosio, and the only logical thing to do is get rid of it. Thus begin the happy, farcical events of Arthur Fauquez' The ManWho Killed Time, a fast-moving French children's comedy to be presented by the Western Playersat 3 p.m. July 21 and 22 in the Old Main Theater. The play, according to director- designer GayleCorneli-son, is " . . .entertaining for all gages, but probably more informative for older children andadults." Ambrosio, played by Howard Lockman, reasons that by eliminating all mechanicaltimekeeping devices men will be freed from the chains of time and will be able to enjoy life. He finds,however, that a world devoid of time can be chaotic. Other characters include Merle Gebers asSpazzino, Douglas Foster as Regolo, Carolyn Ross as Padrona, Didge Pearson as Fantesca andJohn Mo Cann as Romeo. Costuming for the production is by Vic Leverett. Dennis Cat-rell is technicaldirector. Stark, tense, psychological, unreal, comic, tragic, burlesque, commercial, didactic,moralizing. . . Eugene Ionesco's Victims of Duty, being presented by the Western Players Thursdaythrough Saturday under the direction of Dr. Thomas Napie-cinskL is all this and more. Victims of Dutyis an expression of psychological reality set in a backdrop of physical unreality. Superficially itwanders as extensively and randomly as the human mind itself, but always it remains consistent to itsmajor theme of duty. It is a dream playt in which the audience leaps jerkily and abruptly through timeand space, following the subconscious gyrations of the leading character's mind. The play begins withChou-bert (Al Simpson) and his wife Madeleine (Ellen Catrell) sitting at home arguing about thetheater. Choubert insists that all drama, past and present, is nothing but glorified detective literature,presenting a problem, a method and a solution. In the midst of the argument a real detective, known only as "Mr. Chief Inspector" (Don Krag) knocks on the door and is invited in, whereupon discussion on thephilosophy of theater ceases and a search for a criminal, "Mal-lot with a T," is begun. In the name ofduty, Madeleine and the detective force Choubert into a mind-trip in search of Mallot. He is pusheddown, deep down into his subconscious, searching his past. He does not find Mallot. But he finds many sordid examples of the demoralizing effects of obeisance to duty. Finally a neighbor, Nicholas D'Eu(Frank Jenkins) enters and, as the detective feeds wood and iron to Choubert "to fill the gaps in hismemory", renews with the detective the argument about the theater. D'Eu takes a disliking to thedetective and stabs him to death. Madeleine decides that in order to atone for the death, someoneshould take over the detective's search for Mallot. D'Eu readily agrees, and enlists the help ofChoubert, who reluctantly succumbs as D'Eu stuffs more wood and iron into his mouth. "We are allvictims of duty," Choubert suddenly shouts, and so saying, shoves wood and iron into the mouths ofMadeleine and D'Eu, making them join in the suffering of duty. ---------- Collegian - 1967 July 14 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Collegian Friday, July 14, 1967 editorials tell it like it 'tis Means to the end News item: Congressof Racial Equality, at convention in Oakland, strikes from its constitution provision which made it a"multiracial organization." New wording defines CORE as " . . . a mass membership organization toimplement the concept of black power for black people." The leaders of CORE have made a fateful andprobably irrevocable decision; a decision which nationally- syndicated columnist James J. Kilpatrickscornfully labels a ". . . backward leap," explainable "only in terms of the pathology of madness." But is it madness? The Black man has been taught, from the day he set foot on the American continent, togrovel at the feet of his White master. He has been told day in and day out that Black is bad and Whiteis good; that the "good nigger" is the one who most thoroughly imitates the ways and manners of Whitesuperiority. He has been taught to be ashamed of his heritage, of his talk, even of his body. TheAmerican Negro is a man without a cultural identity. He has been forced to mimic the culture of anotherpeople, to study another people's history while knowing nothing of his own. He has lost his sense ofprice; in himself and in his people. And now the White liberal has decided the Negro has beendowntrodden too long, so he has passed civil rights laws and given economic aid and been sincerelyconcerned about righting the wrongs of the past. But the Negro cannot be truly equal in our society untilhe has regained enough self-confidence to know that he is really as much a human being as any otherperson. The job of rebuilding pride and confidence and dignity can be neither instituted nor aided by theWhite man. It is a task which must be achieved by the Negro alone, and black power is the means tothat end. Black power is not the devilish witchcraft it has been made out to be; rather, it is the onlysalvation of the American Negro. The Negro must cut himself off from White society until he has foundthe inner strength to face his old masters with the assurance of his own, individual, worth. CORE hastaken a necessary and inevitable step in the evolution of the American Negro to a position of socialresponsibility, identity and equality. â€”Robert W. Hicks The great hoax "Tut, tut, child," said theDuchess. "Everything's got a moral if only you can find it." Alice in Wonderland- Lewis Caroll When theworld's two foremost ballet artists, Rudolph Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, get arrested in Haight-Asburyat a party where people are smoking marijuana it makes one stop and wonder. When Life, one ofAmerica's largest circulation and allegedly responsible magazines prints an article whose tone supportsthe legalization of marijuana it makes one stop and wonder. When Leslie Feidler, one of America sleading literary critics, is arrested for permitting people to smoke marijuana in his home it makes onestop and wonder. â€ž. ,â€ž. ,. When Robert E. Craig, state senator from Michigan, is planning tointroduce a bill to legalize marijuana it makes one stop and wonder. The reason it makes US stop andwonder is because we were all brought up to believe that marijuana inevitably leads to sin, degradationand heroin. Now we look around us and see that millions of people, about 200 million world wide, most ofthem not even hippies, are smoking marijuana and are not especially sinful, degraded or using heroin.Could it be that we've been lied to? â€”Chris Condon . . . just bitching . . . Editor, the Collegian: As aregular reader of the Collegian for the past year, it is obvious, to me, that the sole justification for theexistence of this impotent journalistic effort is to provide Western's so-called community of scholarswith a bitch-box. This given, I would liketocontributemybitch-of- the-week, thus joining this illustrious,and, certainly, enviable, pride of pedants. Teachers ft use this term loosely as, not even by thewildest corruption of the term, can most members of Western's fac-. ulty be called teachers) atWestern who administer, unannounced, tests during the first class meeting after a four dayholiday need to examine their motives. Certainly, such a teacher (there's that inappropriate wordagain)isnotconcernedwith teaching his students anything, nor is he concerned with the knowledge theymay have accidentally acquired by their fifty minute exercises in patience and tolerance. At best sucha teacher (? â€”!!+-!!â€”) is arbitrarily asserting his didactic sense of authority in order to "catch"someone and to conceal the ineptness he displays daily in the instructional setting.

This is the view of thePentagon, U.S. officials in Washington and most newsmen. However, in what is called "the other war"â€” the struggle of pacification â€” it is widely conceded that little progress is being made. The VietCong, says an article on "The Struggle to Rescue the People" in the April issue of Fortune, exercisecontrol "over nearly two thirds of South Vietnam's 12 million peasants." "Nobody," the article goes ontosay,"really knows how many of South Vietnam's 12,000 hamlets (average population about 1,000)are under total Viet Cong control. The number is at least 4,000. Thousands more are'contested,' usuallymeaning that So. Vietnamese authorities enter in the daytime, while the Viet Cong, who More casualtiesmean more troops needed on both sides rule at night, make terror the dominant law. No more thanperhaps one out of five hamlets nationwide is secure enough for American or Saigon officials to entersafely by day or night without armed escort â€” although U.S. authorities claim a higher figure. These2,000 or so hamlets are the only ones that can be counted as 'pacified' and really under the control ofthe Saigon Government" No area in So. Vietnam has received more "pacification" attention thanQuangnam Province, in which Danang, site of the great U.S. air and marine base, is situated. About100 square miles of this province was given a "national priority area" rating at the Honolulu conference inFebruary 1966. About half of the 73,000 U.S. Marines in Vietnam have been used in local "securityoperations," a large proportion of this area where Marines have been getting mortar fire from the time they landed at Danang in March 1965. As their commander, Lieut. Gen. Lewis W. Wilt, put it, "I had astudy made and it turned out that 180,000 people live within 81-MM. mortar range of our airfield. Thatmeant that we could not have real security unless we could get those people on our side, so we went into the pacification business ourselves." (Fortune, April 1967). Fortune charges that where the Viet Congmeet resistance they resort to terror. On its face, mere is something fishy about the assumption(which is apparently the premise of the pacification effort) that the Viet Cong hold the people by terror. Isay "on its face" for the simple reason that it is axiomatic that no guerrilla organization can operateanywhere for any time without the support of the people. Former Master Sergeant Donald Duncan of theGreen Berets, who served 18 months of combat duty in Vietnam and was an area specialist,discussed the "terror" theory in his essay "The Whole Thing was a Lie." Saying in part, "Scv Vietnam isa relatively small country, dotted with thousands of small villages. In this very restricted area companiesand battalions of Viet Cong can maneuver under the very noses of government troops, but the peopledon't betray these movements, even though it is a relatively simple thing to pass the word. On the otherhand, government movements are always reported. Those who back up the terror theory by pointing to the murder of village chiefs, wrote Duncan, fail to note that â€” "province, district, village and hamletchiefs are appointed, not elected. Too often petty officials are not even people from the area but outsiders being rewarded for political favors. Those who ai# from the area are, thought of as quislings because they have gone against their own by cooperating with Saigon." By murdering officials recognized by the people as agents of the corrupt government in Saigon and the landlord class, Duncan pointed out, theViet Cong actually gain friends among the populace. A more logical explanation for the Viet Cong'scontinuing hold on the countryside and its people: First, the people of the villages (with exceptions ofcourse) are convinced, on the basis of harsh experience, that all they can expect from Saigon and itsrepresentatives are oppression, exploitation and extortion. Second, rightly or wrongly, they are alsoconvinced that the Viet Cong is fighting to free them from this oppression, exploitation and extortion.Another "new" pacification program is now being launched. It is more elaborate and costly than anyprevious program. Yet the Fortune piece gives it only a fifty-fifty chance of success and even then "theeffort will take years, perhaps as much as a decade of persistence and patience." What is "new"about this pacification program? The same 59-man pacification teams that were hailed a year ago asthe "solution" to the problem â€” and that failed dismally â€” are to stay in business. And this time halfthe So. Vietnamese army (ARVN), a full 75 battalions, is being shifted to pacification duty. "What bettermission for ARVN," said an American official, "than protecting their country's most precious possessionâ€” its people." The trouble with this theory is that whenever ARVN troops move about the countryside,they behave like a conquering army, appropriating livestock, raping women and extorting tribute invarious ways. ARVN's officers are notoriously corrupt and contemptuous of the rights of the people.Should civilian victims of their thievery object, they are regarded as "suspected VC's" or "VCsympathizers." Ineither case the standard practice of ARVN is torture and, not infrequently, murder.The cold fact is that ARVN is a logically exrescence of the Saigon regime and logically shares its corrupt and brutal characteristics. Fortune quotes a "cynical American official" as saying that he expectedARVN to take its new assignment "as a license to sit and do nothing." And Fortune, aware of ARVN'scharacter, added, "as counter productive as doing nothing might seem, ARVN troops could do evenworse if they continue to treat the peasants as badly as they have in the p a s t . . ." Desertions in ARVN in recent years have been so great that the problem threatened to demoralize the entire army. With asituation of this kind it is no surprise that Gen. Westmoreland is appealing for more American soldiersand more support and can see nothing but a long hard struggle ahead.

ENNEN'S THRIFTWAY HIGHAND HOLLY "WHERE EVERY CUSTOMER IS IMPORTANT" ---------- Collegian - 1967 July 14 - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Collegian Friday, July 14, 1967 Summer session draws 2,900 Approximately 2,900 students willattend Western this summer quarter, revealed William O'Neill last week. The total enrollment for thesix and nine week sessions is 2,750 students. The extra 150 will be enrolled in shorter courses. Buttotal enrollment is not the significant figure, Dr. J. Alan Ross, dean of summer sessions, said Tuesday.The important figure is the total number of student credit hours, of which there are 30,063 beingtaken this summer. This is a seven per cent raise from last summer, and a 17 per cent raise fromsummer, '65. The largest gain in the number of classes at a certain level is in the 500 level, with a 20 per cent raise from last year. "This is primarily due to expansion of the graduate program," said Ross. The number of men students compared to the number of women students is almost equal, 1,372 to 1,368, four more men than women. However in the six week session, the women outnumber men 555 to306.

Western's cheer squad is fighting for funding â€” see page 10.Western Front VOL. 71, NO. 61 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1979Enrollment at peak, official count: 10,104 by ERIC HOOKHAM Western set a record enrollment thisquarter. A registrar's office report compiled Wednesday states 10,104 students enrolled for fall quarter,breaking the previous record of 9,864 in fall of 1971. The figure came as a surprise to administrators, who had expected approximately 9,900 students. At the Oct. 4 Board of Trustees, meeting, UniversityPresident Paul Olscamp reported probably "up to 100 more" would attend, and 9,900 was "slightly lowerthan expected." Registrar Eugene Omey said Western's enrollment is higher because "we are up in allour retention," which means more students returned to school this year than in previous years. Omey said the headcount increased 3.1 percent from last year's 9,800, and credit hours increased 2.5percent. The report shows entering students, both freshmen and transfers, were down. This was morethan balanced by increased in sophomore, junior and senior numbers. The ratio of men to womenremained nearly the same, with 4,866 men and 5,238 women enrolled. Enrollment might have beenhigher, but Olscamp said he thinks a number of factors adversely affected the level. He said the housingpolicy would be re-examined. One such policy would be allowing a student to live in a room designed fortwo. A spokesman from Housing and Dining said at least 1,300 students were turned down for on-campus housing this quarter. Another problem affecting enrollment figures is the fact that theUniversity of Washington admitted 1,000 additional students â€” some of whom may have chosen toenroll here, he said. Omey said enrollment is "up across the state," with Washington State Universityand Eastern Washington University reporting record enrollment. But he said the number of highschool graduates "peaks this year or next," which might precede a marked drop in enrollment levels.Summer enrollment up Increased participation in Western's Summer Session workshops and shortcourses was responsible for a 1979 summer enrollment of 3,916, 103 students above the 1978 level.Nine-week summer enrollment was down as was participation in the six-week program, but a 17 percentjump (157 students) in workshops and short courses boosted the total. "Apparently people like to takeshorter courses, and the subject matter appealed to them," Mary Robinson, vice provost foradministration and head of Western's summer session, said. Outdoor recreation programs sponsored by the Viking Union were a key to the increase in workshop and short course enrollment, Robinsonsaid. THE PREZ, SAYS â€” University president Pauh Olscamp publicly announced Western's recordenrollment of 10,104 students at his annual "State of the University" speech yesterday. He also touchedon faculty pay levels, laws passed last year that affect Western and the operating and capital budgets.Easy riders and parkers Bikes two-wheel to Western in greater numbers by RICK ROSS The rising costof four-wheeled vehicles has resulted in an increase of two-wheeled vehicles occupying space oncampus this quarter. Students have been turning more and more to motorcycles and bicycles as ameans of transportation, and this creates a need for more parking spaces. Safety and Security doubledthe amount of motorcycle parking permit orders for this quarter in anticipation of an increase. A few newlots have been opened and several enlarged to create space for an additional 200 motorcycles. Security sold 206 permits this quarter and more than 100 are still available. The cost for a motorcycle parkingpermit is $5. Mopeds are considered motorcycles and must be parked in designated lots. They are notto be locked to trees or to* bicycle racks, as has been occurring this quarter, Lt. Dave Doughty ofSecurity said. An increase in bicycle use on campus this quarter also has created a parking problem,but unlike motorcycle parking, this problem is yet unsolved. Despite crowded racks, Securityencourages cyclists to use them as opposed to trees, hand rails and poles. Because Security officerscannot write tickets, impoundment is often necessary. This usually occurs when a safety hazard isinvolved or a complaint is made. Yesterday, the Associated Students Board of Directors made aproposal to add more bicycle parking facilities. Board member Greg Sotel described the problem as "a horrible situation." The AS approved a motion to ask that additional racks be purchased by theuniversity before spring. Doughty stressed that Security encourages the riding of motorcycles and will continue efforts to provide adequate parking. The fate of bicycle crowding, however, is in the hands ofWestern's Facilities Development Department. Vendors petitioning rules by LEITA McINTOSH SomeViking Union Plaza vendors are upset. A petition is circulating in an attempt to change rules whichapply for sellers using plaza space. Jim Schuster, associate director of the VU, said he has receivedcomplaints from several vendors who disagree with a rule which allows only one vendor per table.Schuster said the rule, one of many established in 1975, was to "create less of a clutter and Please turn to 'VU vendors' on page 6. ---------- Western Front - 1979 October 12 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Friday, October J 2, 1979 ADAMS SPEAKS â€” Former Transportation Secretary BrockAdams yesterday told a Western audience that the federal government is devising plans to deal withAmerica's current transportation and energy woes. He also urged the development of more efficient masstransportation systems. Big monster to star in protest march Tomorrow a monster will appear in RedSquare. It will gather forces and march downtown to the Bellingham Public Library. The monster is asymbolic protest against the nuclear missile-armed Trident submarine. The march is designed todraw attention to a protest scheduled for Oct. 28 at the Trident submarine base at Bangor, Wash., MaryBeth O'Neill, spokesman- for the Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, said. IE PICTURE SHOW IN ( H I FAIKMAVEN She said the 560-foot monster, the same length as the submarine, will beconstructed at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow, in Red Square. Fifty persons will carry the flag-laden creature to the library, where it will be disassembled. An informational program is scheduled soon after. O'Neill saidthe monster idea was employed because it was necessary to reach a broader audience. Publicitygenerated from this rally is intended to support a "peace conversion" of the Bangor submarine base.At that protest, a "peace conversion city" will be set up outside the main gate. Several people will enterthe base to be arrested, she said.

Holly 676-1623Adams says Feds dealing with future by STEVE VALANDRA Former Secretary of TransportationBrock Adams yesterday told an overflow crowd in the Performing Arts Center that the federalgovernment is now in the process of making decisions that will "determine how the United States'economy exists in the 1980s." "Our economic castle is built on oil, and that castle is now on theshifting sands of Saudi Arabia," Adams said. "That's a hell of a way to build a house," Adams, whoresigned as Transportation Secretary in July following President Carter's "White House Purge,"stressed that America's current energy ills cannot be healed simply by increased domestic oilproduction and development of synthetic fuels. He said the United States currently produces 9 million barrels of oil a day. But, he added, the government realized after discussions with oil companyexecutives, that production from American oil fields has been on the decline since 1973, and thatdevelopment of synthetic fuels would not stretch far enough to satisfy the country's demand for energy."We would have to have an Alaskan oil field every five years just to maintain present production," Adams said. Instead, he urged a $10 billion plan during the next decade to develop a more efficient masstransportation system and expand research into alternative forms of energy such as solar andgeothermal. He said a "constituency" of government officials now exists in the nation's capitol that is"leaning" toward his proposal. The use of alternative energy sources is 20 years away, Adams said, andthat the government is now trying to get the country through the 1980s and 1990s. "Transportation hascreated your lifestyle," Adams told the audience. "Unfortunately, in the 1940s we opted for oil. We did it because we thought oil was there forever. We now know that it's not."

Co-ops,, second-hand shops battle prices Students who search find bargains, Clothes, transportation can cost less bySUSAN SORTER Inflation hits everyone at one time or another, but it seems that college students aredealt the worst blow. Â» Rising costs for housing, food, clothing and gasoline have forced students todelve deeper into shrinking pockets, invariably coming up empty-handed. Cooperatives are one form offighting inflation. They cut down on *- the price of goods while giving members a chance to learn basicskills. Community Food Cooperative, at 1000 Harris in Fairhaven, gives members the opportunity to work for discounts. If interested, they can also â€¢ learn about store management. Albert Fields, a co-opmanager, said, "Cashiers and day managers have to be trained, but anyone can just come in and work." A schedule of hours determines the amount of time members must work â€¢ depending upon the typeof discount they want. Three hours a month entitles them to a 12 percent discount, three hours a weekto an 18 percent discount and five hours a week to a 25 percent discount. The co-op buys from localfarmers â€¢ and from merchants in Seattle. The goods are then trucked to Bellingham. Bulk buyingprovides a cheaper price for items like flour, cheese, fruits and vegetables. Pure honey, raw juices andtofu are some of the specialties sold by the co-op. â€¢ Members have brought up the possibility ofpaying a fee for membership rather than working hours. However, the decision has yet to be made. Adifferent cooperative, for bicycles, was started as an alternative Â« to the gas shortage. Kulshan Cycles, on State Street, offers a $15 membership fee for the use of tools and work space. The co-op has about80 members and is operated by three Bellingham residents: Brandon Henry, Julie Conklin and PaulBarkley. Membership can be renewed annually from $5 to $10, depending upon the amount of use.Discounts are offered for bikes, parts and accessories. Classes for $6.50 show enthusiasts how to keeptheir bikes in running condition. With the help of these co-ops, students can buy food and SOMETHING OLD â€” Students willing to wipe off the dust, like John, can save money at second-hand shops. Pace'sis one of many bargain stores lining Holly Street in the Old Town district. transportation for less. However, they do little to alleviate the problem of finding cheap, useable furniture and clothing. For these items,second-hand thrift shops are the answer. Just before the quarter and Halloween, students can be foundrummaging through the Salvation Army Thrift Shop and the Lighthouse Mission Thrift Shop on HollyStreet for bargains. They turn old hats, wigs and clothing into imaginative costumes or everyday wear.Prices range from $4 for a London Fog raincoat or $5 for a suit, to 50 cents for a pair of psychedelic red,white and blue shorts. Household items and books sell out quickly because they can be boughtsecond-hand for much less than at regular stores. Lorie Snapp, a junior at Western, bought most of thefurniture and appliances for her apartment at thrift stores. She also checks the want ads for sales."Weekend garage sales are where a lot of bargains can be found," Snapp said, "because people wouldrather make a little money and get rid of the stuff they don't need." Paul Pace, owner of Pace's New and Used Thrift Shop on Holly Street, has trouble keeping cube furniture and rugs in stock. Cookware hasalso been selling at a rapid rate this year. However, Pace is surprised about students' naivete overprices. "They come in looking for $3 shelves," he said. "Well, those days are long gone." Pace's store is phasing out the "garage sale" type of merchandise and concentrating more on newer items likefurniture, rugs and tools. "1 took a bunch of stuff to the Salvation Army," Pace said, "and they probablydon't want it." aren't the only F A R M E R S ^ r c h ^ s a t t h e M A R K ET by DIANE BRAINARDPumpkins, cabbage, fresh crab, house plants and hand-spun wool are just a few of the things one canfind at Bellingham's Farmer's Market. Tomorrow, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., marks the close of the market'sfirst season. A crafts fair, a "Harvest Happening," music and entertainment will be on hand to celebrate.The market gives local farmers and craftsmen a chance to deal directly with the. consumer, not only forbusiness purposes, but to exchange ideas, recipes and craft and farming techniques. "The emphasis ison eating local foods," Rosemary Sumption, assistant market master, said. "With gasoline at $1 agallon, the truckers will have to pass it (the price) on to us." Local produce doesn't have shipping costsso it is less expensive, she added. "Market prices are competitive. They can't be too much cheaperbecause of the high quality," Sumption said. Next year the market plans a spring opening. This yearthey opened July 21. The future goal is to have a year-around public market where farmers could sellstored vegetables such as potatoes and squash during the winter. Craftsmen and artisans could haveaconstant outlet for their goods and services. "What we need is a market to provide a viable life form forsmall farmers," Fred Berman, market member and farmer of one acre at Glacier, said. Berman and hisfamily farmed one-quarter acre in Norway for six years and made a successful living selling theirproduce at a farmer's market. Here, Berman also sells to restaurants and small grocery stores. It isdifficult for people to get used to the market being open at a specific time once a week, Sumption said. It takes time to be fully accepted, she said. "It's been a terrific first year," she added. Last January,during a small farm conference and workshop in Lynden, the farmers decided to create the market.Through a group effort it was ready to go by July 21. 'It was organized by a core of people with no onekey person," Berman said. "It is a very grass-roots organization." The Whatcom County OpportunityCouncil provided office space and help with the organization. Local merchants donated from $25 to $1,000 and Friends of the Market buttons were sold at $2 a piece. For $5, one can become a marketmember. Members pay 5 percent of their gross income for the day and non-members pay 8 percent. The minimum members pay is $3 and the maximun is $10. For non-members it is $4 and $15. Smallfarmers from Whatcom, Skagit and Island counties are welcome. All produce is grown withoutchemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. At least 75 percent of a farmer's produce must be fromlocal or regional areas. Locally processed natural food products (unrefined foods with no chemicaladditives), such as fruit and vegetable juices, bread and raw honey, also are welcome. . The biggestproblem the market faces is finding a permanent location. The present and third site at Railroad Avenueand Magnolia Street was donated by the city on Aug. 1, but will be the transit terminal next year. Asite committee will be working throughout the year on a new location. "The market is more than a job for these people, it's a way of life," Sumption said. â€¢ ---------- Western Front - 1979 October 12 - Page 4 ---------- 4.

Times Syndicate barbara waits In case of explosion: Run! The Front printed an article Oct. 5 headlined, "Transportation safety trainingquestioned." Officials for Burlington Northern and those working for Bellingham civil services objected.They spent a lot of time this week reassuring the Front that their training is not questionable. BellinghamFire Chief Gary Hedberg, Burlington Northern Trainmaster Dennis Anderson and Chris Kleindrest of theWhatcom County Emergency Services Council informed the paper that, contrary to the story, they dohave emergency plans. Boy, am 1 reassured. Hedberg assured us that Bellingham does indeed havean evacuation plan in case of industrial accident. Just because he has never seen the plan, we shouldnot worry. I'm sure that in the event of an emergency, somebody would be able to dig it up. Andersonreassured us that train employees do indeed know what to do in case of an accident. The word isprinted right there on the computer printout â€” EVACUATE. Just because none of the how-tos areoutlined, we should not worry. I'm sure somebody could come up.with those. Kleindrest took great carein explaining that Bellingham is now served by a hazardous materials task force, which is studying theproblem. Although the task force was organized only a month ago and hazardous materials have beenpassing through the city for years, we should not worry. I'm sure they'll come up with a plan eventually. Iam reassured. But my friend l.Q. is very skeptical. In the face of all this reassurance, he's still worried.When I told l.Q. Bellingham has an invisible evacuation plan, l.Q. frowned at me. l.Q. said the plan should be visible to all civil service employees so they would know what to do automatically the moment anexplosion occurs. Digging up the plan, and then studying it, would take too long, l.Q. said. l.Q. isworried that the fire chief, one of the officials who would logically direct emergency operations, is notfamiliar with a plan. But Hedberg doesn't seem worried, so I am reassured. When I told l.Q. aboutBurlington Northern's computer printout and the instruction printed right there (EVACUATE), l.Q. cried.l.Q. said a one-word instruction is too vague. He wants everything delineated step-by-step. "Are theygoing to knock on every door in a five-block radius," l.Q. asked. "Or are they going to yell 'RUN' and hope everyone hears?" I think l.Q. is over-reacting. Anderson isn't worried, so 1 am reassured. When 1 toldl.Q. about the newly-formed hazardous materials task force, l.Q. laughed. It was kind of a sad laugh,though. l.Q. said it was a little like showing a movie on birth control to an audience of pregnant women. 1 think l.Q. is very insolent. After all, the public officials aren't worried. They are the ones who knoweverything. So, I am reassured. But l.Q. said the officials have been negligent in their planning. He saidwe should all climb on their backs and hold flasks of liquified natural gas over, their heads until theycome up with a clear, detailed way to handle accidents. Staff EDITORâ€” Rick Eskil NEWSEDITORâ€” Eric Hookham FEATURE EDITORâ€” Barbara Waits PHOTO EDITORâ€” Clay HartlOPINION EDITORâ€” Dave Hatcher ARTS EDITORâ€” Sue Taylor SPORTS EDITORâ€” Steve HunterHEAD COPY EDITORâ€” Nancy Walbeck COPY EDITORSâ€” Leita Mcintosh, Laura Merkel and MarkWalker PRODUCTION MANAGERS-Leslie Kelly and Diane Mapes BUSINESS MANAGERâ€” DaveImburgia ADVERTISING MANAGERâ€” Gregg Olsen ADVISER â€” Lyle Harris New ideas needed tohandle parking Western reportedly has a problem of too many cars and too few parking places for them.But instead of making a serious attempt to introduce alternative means of traveling to and aroundcampus, the administration is pushing ahead with a parking feasibility study. Olscamp has ordered itcompleted this quarter instead of spring because of the urgency of the so-called parking shortage. Acrisis of unprecedented proportions must be speeding toward Western to consider such ideas astunneling into Sehome Hill or investing millions of dollars into a multi-level parking ramp. Evidently thisuniversity, like the rest of America, has done little to kick its addiction to automobiles despite soaring gas prices, mistrust of mechanics and chronic air pollution problems. Why has no mention been made ofthe need to better accommodate and encourage bicycles at Western? A parking problem for cyclistsdefinitely exists here as shown by the large number of bikes chained to trees, wheelchair ramps andlampposts. Crowded racks force riders to risk having their bikes impounded if they chain their wheelselsewhere even though they have no alternative. Perhaps the recent proposal by Associated StudentsBoard Member Greg Sobel that calls for more racks will help focus attention and action on theseovercrowded conditions. For the money it would cost to build a multi-level parkade, could not Westernpurchase and operate a fleet of mini-buses such as the shuttle bus? Perhaps the city transit departmentwould be interested in a cooperative effort. Continuing to spend millions to encourage the driving of cars is foolish and stupid, reflecting an attitude that is shortsighted and wasteful. Departments all overcampus are understaffed, underfunded and the quality of education suffers as a result. But thebureaucratic Buick barrels onward toward more gas consumption and dependence on foreign oil.Some things never change. Pay to pray is law Resembling a resurrection of sorts, the stone has beenrolled once again from the cave of controversy over whether religious groups should be allowed to useWestern's facilities for free, particularly the Viking Union. Dissent and debate are focused on last year'sinterpretation of the Washington Constitution by the state attorney general concerning religious groups on campus. The constitution says state funds may not be used for religious purposes, reflecting thiscountry's long-standing tradition of separation of church and state. The attorney general rightfullyinterpreted this to mean recognized campus groups could not use facilities for religious worship,instruction or exercise for free. They must pay. Such groups also may use campus facilities only amaximum of twice a quarter, according to the attorney general. As unfair as it may seem to campuscrusaders, this policy has the effect of law and no amount of pulpit pounding will change it. The issue isa constitutional one, not one of discrimination or repression. To cast stones at VU Director Jack Smithas a man who defines religion because he is abiding by the attorney general's decision is ludicrous. Ifanything is unfair in this controversy, it is sanctimonious slurs on certain Western staff who are depictedas repressive and irresponsible. Perhaps if campus Christians stopped laying guilt trips on VU personneland instead rechanneled their fury into searching for suitable alternative locations, they could get on withtheir business of God and goodness.

Robert H. KellerFairhaven Faculty Energy cuts Western Front: The Western population should be aware of an energyconservation policy currently being developed for this cam pus. The fine points of the policy wereformulated this summer by a committee of faculty, staff and students which, in turn, submitted aproposal to University President Olscamp's office. The policy will continue to be discussed as wellas implemented in part this quarter. One point of interest in the policy is a proposed cutback in thenumber of hours most all academic buildings would be open for use. The intent of this is to cut back onfunds spent and energy consumed by lighting and/or heating the buildings for use other thanclasses and other scheduled activities (i.e., lectures, movies, etc.). This is allegedly a conservationmethod with great potential for savings. Although faculty and graduate students who have keys toallow entry into buildings when locked would not be particularly hindered, all other "unauthorized"student use would be eliminated. An exception would be those buildings used for evening classes(Bond, Miller, Arntzen, Humanities) which would be unlocked and therefore accessible, and CarverGym, the Viking Union, and Wilson Library. All other buildings would be locked up after 5 p.m. onweekdays and on weekends. This particular portion of the policy is scheduled to be implemented onNov. 1, 1979, following a "campus-wide" discussion of its form and effects. I â€¢ hope that this letterwill formally initiate this discussion in the student body, and will lead to constructive student input inthis matter which will affect us all very significantly. Steve Jones Open faith Western Front: Afterreading Eric Hook-ham's article, "Religious groups facing uncertain future" (Tuesday, Oct. 9), I wasdisappointed in the ridiculous attitude against religion that seems to prevail. I am not a member ofany religious group, but I am bothered by the thought that an "open-minded" society should want to limit the freedom of any group with non-violent intentions. Why should religion be singled out as an area of thought to be excluded? At a university where students are encouraged to broaden their horizons ofknowledge, all "official student groups" should at least be allowed to meet.

Now, vendors want the rule changed because it limits the amount of business theydo. The plaza area originally was designed for students to sell crafts, Schuster said. As morecommercial businesses moved in, the students were forced out. Schuster said the tables also areavailable for student organizations to distribute literature, and space can be reserved for this purpose."We would put reserve signs on the tables in the evening and the morning but people (vendors) wouldmove them. That was the initial problem," Schuster said. Vendors who have complained about the"one per table" rule were instructed by Schuster to present their argument to a student activitiesfacilities committee, which has not been formed as yet. "I'm getting a little bit tired of the whole thing,"Schuster said. "I don't make the policies, I only try to enforce them." He said some vendors are gettingaround the rule by trying to consolidate. Mark Mottet has been selling his wares on the plaza since January and said he has shared tables with other vendors previously. "No one said anything about ituntil just recently," he said. Mottet complained about the rule and was told to bring the matter up at thefirst facilities committee meeting. He said Schuster asked him for a special business license beforehe could consolidate. . "We felt this was going too far," Mottet said. "I lost my temper and stormed out." Mottet also said he understood the rule to mean that a vendor could not use more than one table.Patrick Purdy, a vendor from Seattle, said lack of space on the plaza justifies sharing tables. "It's up tothe person who first gets the table," he said. Other vendors haven't complained about the rule but stillwant it changed. Linda Smith has stopped selling frozen yogurt on the plaza until the problem iscleared up. She said some vendors don't complain , because they are afraid of having the plaza shutdown completely. bits pieces Write it down The Writing Clinic, located in Humanities 346, is now infull operation for students who want to improve their writing.

Joy Krell, classroom scheduler in theregistrar's office, calls it "room roulette." "The limited number of rooms with the facilities needed for each class is the cause for most room changes," Krell said. Classroom scheduling is done far in advance.This quarter, schedules were made eight months ago, she said. Each department submits classprojections for the entire year. These include class sizes, enrollment limits, if any, and needed facilities. Estimations vary greatly from quarter to quarter making scheduling difficult. Classes requiring largerooms tend to create the most problems because only five' rooms at Western hold more than 100students, Krell said. Other problems include changes in class size but only the classes that fluctuatedrastically can be moved, she "said. "Changes in general university requirements (GUR) did change some class sizes this quarter," she said. Approximately 200 classes were moved this fall. Winterquarter is the most challenging time for scheduling, Krell said. She tries to schedule similar classesclose by so students do not have to walk far in cold weather. All room scheduling is done by hand,which requires a tremendous amount of paperwork but computers have been promised. Krell said acomputer will help speed up rescheduling but can't sofve all the problems. HERB changes name andexpands To clear up any misconception that the Huxley Environmental Reference Bureau. (HERB)is designed to serve only Huxley students, HERB changed its name to the Environmental Center (EC). "HERB is not only too long of a name, it is misleading because we serve the entire student body and we do more than refer people with problems to other agencies as the name implies," Jenny Hahn,coordinator of the EC, said. The center is in the process of expanding the fulltime staff from two tothree positions. In the past, the assistant coordinator was in charge of putting out the Huxley HumusNewsletter, working with the coordinator organizing conferences" and various projects. That position has been divided into two, on a trial basis. The experimental position is the editorship of the Huxley Humus, renamed the Monthly Planet. The glossy magazine is to be published monthly. "Instead of focusing onHuxley happenings, we hope to reach the community by covering current events andenvironmental features," Hahn said.

The Accident is made up offour Western students: Doug Cram (guitar), Trent Kelley (bass), Lisa Nansen (vocals) and Mike Stein(drums). Although few people showed up to celebrate the opening of the Underground, the bandperformed with the intensity and volume of superstars playing to a crowd of 15,000. Loudness,however, does not make a performance good. In this case, it detracted from it. But this small fault waserased by Nansen's mesmerizing vocals. Her voice had a range and throaty quality perfectly suited tothe band's music. From ear-piercing highs to deep, resounding lows, she entranced the audience. Theaddition of harmonies by Kelley accentuated her talent. If Nansen's voice alone was not compellingenough, simply watching her on stage was. The band had no stage show and did not need one. Kelleyoften came close to hitting his bass guitar on the ceiling as he leapt high into the air, never missing anote, while Nansen strutted about the stage. The Accident performs only, its own compositions, with the exception of a modified old Hank Williams tune called "Your Cheatin' Heart." Some of its other songswere written about things that occur in everyday life, such as one tune entitled the "Jonestown Hop."The lyrics are simple and easily understood. "Deep down in the jungle, where the wild beast do hide, there'sa lot of funny people who are drinking cyanide. If your faith is a flop, you can do the Jonestown Hop."Another song was introduced by Kelley commenting: " 'The Land of Dixy' came about mainly from oiltankers, nuclear energy and all the B.S. she's trying to pull." The relevance of the Accident's lyrics,coupled with its informal manner of chatting with the audience, created a friendly relaxing atmosphere.The band's first single, "Kill the BeeGees," was recorded in Fairhaven studios and was performedFriday night. The Accident's next single, "Alien Fun," is currently being recorded.

(1 BLOCK SO. of HERALD BLDG] 676-1440 by SUSAN SORTER Bright,colorful, fantasy paintings by Seattle artist Fay Jones are on exhibit at the Viking Union art gallerythrough Oct. 19. Jones' previous work includes a building wall mural for a Seattle Walls Project in1977. Jones blends bright colors, patterns of dots and lines, and geometric designs in her paintings.She places everyday objects out of context to make them appear unusual. In her "Fish Out of Water"painting, she features a red plush chair seat with a flowery design. The chair itself looks very typical until a closer look. Then, one notices a small, dark, fish's head poking out from behind a flowery cluster. Inthe background of the painting, greenish-white fish with, toothy smiles swim back and forth in the darksea water. The foreground is a tangled mass of deep, green algae and plant life. The chair now appearsso incongruous, one must look at it again just to be sure what it really means. Jones said she "inherited massive overdoses of inconsistency from my father." She remembered everything out of the ordinaryin her childhood. "I see animate things inanimate and inanimate things animate," she said. Thisunusual outlook on life is the inspiration for her paintings. "Board Cows" has all the naturalelements found in real life, except they are out of place. The sky is shown on the barn wall. One of twocows is white and finely detailed. The other is black and featureless with merely an ear painted on.WWU SHUTTLE .Downtown Jones' paintings are minutely detailed. The red-gray pattern on a theaterrug or the lacework fabric on an overstuffed chair are done with obvious care on her small canvases.Clothing is emphasized in many of her paintings, including such articles as kimonos, tuxedos,Chinese robes and evening dresses. Some are merely paintings of clothing and nothing else. In her"Numbers Dress," a gray. mid-length dress hangs, apparently in mid-air. The eye-catching feature isthe dress itself. Numbers 1 through 42 are meticulously painted on it in black, from the left shoulder tothe right side of the hem. The number 42 stands out in red. The obvious question seems to be, whywould anyone w'ant to paint a dress like this? Perhaps, Fay Jones wanted it that way.

New uniforms and money to pay back a $500 loan fromthe Recreation Council are its top priorities. The girls also have handfuls of receipts from away-gamecosts which have not been reimbursed. Baked goods for the teams and supplies for posters andbanners come out of their own pockets as well. "No one wants to help fund us," Jill Poyourow said. "The only reason we got the $500 from the Recreation Council was because I knew them personally. AlsoI was very emor tional and broke down and started crying," she said. - The money borrowed from thecouncil was used to cover some of the expenses for a cheerleading camp four of the girls attended inCalifornia last summer. They paid their own plane fare and most of the other costs. The uniforms theynow have were bought last year by the physical education department at a cost of $600. Thecheerleaders went to the Associated Students for funds but were told the board saw "no reason" to fundthem. "They said that we served.no real purpose to the students," Poyourow said. Besides funding, thegirls cannot find an indoor facility for practicing. "We went to the dance studio one Saturday to utilizethe mirrors there and we were physically removed from the premises," Debbie Donnelson said."There wasn't anyone in there either," she said. "Coaches (Boyde) Long and (Chuck) Randall havesupported us but they're the only ones besides the football team that seem to care," Donnelson said. The majority of Western's cheerleaders did not cheer in high school but said their desire to "get thecrowd spirited" has made them determined to survive. As well as trying to raise funds, the cheer squadis organizing homecoming festivities and other activities to heighten student participation at games.At noon today, the football players and coaches, with the help of the cheerleaders, will throw miniaturefootballs in Red Square to promote tomorrow's game-. At the game, the girls will rope off a specialsection in the stands for those who are interested in joining in their cheers.

The Viking kickers host Seattle University tomorrow at 2 p.m., and takeon the University of Portland Sunday at 1 p.m. Both are Northwest Intercollegiate Soccer Conferencegames, and played on Western's varsity field. Soccer Coach Bruce Campbell describes both weekendopponents as "fairly tough." Seattle U. finished second in the conference last season, while Portlandcame in fifth. The first two conference games have been anything but easy for the Vikings, so toughcompetition will be nothing new. Soccer power Simon Fraser University downed Western, 3-1, on Oct. 3 and a 3-1 loss to the University of Puget Sound followed last Saturday. "I warned them about aletdown. I told them, 'You've got to play hard or they'll get us'," Campbell said. "I was really looking tobeat UPS." Campbell was not looking for a win over SFU, but midway through the second half thepossibility of victory still existed for Western. A controversial free kick call helped SFU score in thelast 20 minutes, breaking a 1-1 tie and stopping Western's upset bid. "We all thought the free kick wasgoing our way, and the ref said 'Sorry, it's going the other way'," Campbell said. That's the best gamewe've given Simon Fraser." The two conference losses, and pre-season defeats to Skagit ValleyCommunity College and Western's Alumni, were added when the Vikings dropped a 3-0 non-conferencegame to Fort Stei-lacoom Community College Sunday. Campbell used a number of substitutes duringthat game giving them valuable playing time. Injured midfielder Bill Smith should be back in action thisweekend. The center-midfielder sat out during the season's opening games with torn knee cartilage. "Idon't know if he'll be 100 percent ready," Campbell said. "But he's the kind of guy who can take chargeout there." Campbell's midfield needs direction on the field, as the soccer mentor feels "verydisappointed" with the Vikings in the center of action. "We've got to work on our midfield. We've beenworking on shooting under pressure, too," Campbell said. Western also has been outscored 14-3 in thelast five games. Bikers race up Sehome by LEW WILLIAMS Last Sunday's Sehome Hill Climb bicyclerace, won by Brandon Henry in 4:05, marked the end of campus-sponsored bicycle racing this fall. Thehill climb, 550 vertical feet at a 12 percent grade, was dominated by the co-sponsor Mount BakerBicycle Club, which carried home all six ribbons. Finishing behind Henry were Paul Barkley, StanWallace, Dave Fayram, Darrell Zimmerman and Fred Dau-gert. Only eleven riders challenged thehill. Kelly Turner, outdoor program coordinator, was disappointed that no Western studentsentered. "I've given up on deciding what brings people out for races," Turner said. Turner said the climbwas an informal race, aimed at bringing students out. "Any athlete could have turned in just as good a time. you just need strong legs and big lungs for the hill climb," Turner said. For flatter courses, Turnersaid, "technique is as important as strength." An avid bicyclist, Turner hopes to establish bicycleracing at Western before stepping down as coordinator next fall. He has, in the planning stage, aseries of races to be run this spring. Included are sanctioned races by the United States CycleFederation to draw professional cyclists. Western's road race on Sept. 30, the first campus-sponsored ' bicycle race, was sanctioned and 11 professionals participated. Many Western students also rodein the race. Turner said he wants to repeat the event next spring, which offers races for all levels ofcyclists. Bicycle racing is popular in this area, Turner said.

Vol. X. February, 1911 No. 5 Another Mid-Year Commencement time is over, giving the Seniors a glimpse of what is in store for them in June. We congratulate the graduates and wish for them the highest degree of success. Rarely is there a Class whose membership has consisted of such efficient workers in School life and other lines. Their absence will be felt by us all. Agnes Caldwell has labored untiringly since she has been with us. She has served this year on the Board of Control, as Vice-President of the Students' Association, and Cabinet member of the Y. W. C. A. Mr. Claude Clifford is especially interested in Wood-work and will follow out that line in the public schools of AYenatchee. Miss Gertrude Scott has been active in club-work. The Philomatheans will miss ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE MESSENGER her very much, as we all will. In musical lines, Miss Emma Rexroth's place will be difficult to fill. She has also been a member of the Board of Control as Students' representative, and Chairman of Religious Meetings of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Verna Prader has been a good, faithful student in her two years' work in B. S. N. S.. and has been an earnest worker in society and Student activities. Miss Mary Cray, during her two years' work in this School, has won the regard of all by her good, conscientious work. "We regret her departure from us. Mr. Raoul Brinck will enter the University at the beginning of this Semester, where he will fit himself for the teaching of French, his native language, and Mathematics. • At the end of this year a. prize of $5.00 will be awarded to the writer of the best short story appearing in the March, April. May and June numbers of The Messenger. A second prize of $3.00 will also be given. With this inducement, together with the desire of supporting The Messenger, it is hoped that we will have a better grade of short stories to publish. • The National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association is putting out exceptionally good calendars this year, which are very desirable to have. They consist of about seventy-five sheets, on each one of which four or five days are treated. The calendar opens note-book fashion. It is full of the best quotations. They can be obtained from several members of the local Y. W. C. A. for a nominal sum. They are artistically compiled and printed and so finished and perfect in every respect, that The Messenger wishes to call your attention 1o them. During the Christmas holidays Hie W. E. A. was held in Seattle. Several of our Faculty members attended, among whom were Miss Hays. Miss George. Miss Laurence. Mr. Bever, Mr. Deerwester, and Dr. Mathes. Many people from B. S. N. S. were present. To those not residing in Bcllingham, from this Normal, who will attend the W. E. A. in Spokane next year, it is suggested that there be a "Bcllingham Luncheon." The Messenger was asked to communicate this plan. It is hoped that definite arrangements for this can be made before the meeting next year. • This is the first special number The Messenger has ever published for the Mid-Year graduates. We feel that this is a plan worthy of being carried out in the following years. It makes an attractive number of The Messenger and gives the Mid-Year graduates a copy which they will prize as much as the June Seniors value their Annual. ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 3 ---------- THE MESSENGER 3 "AVE ARE SEVEN. I met a Mid-Year Normal girl; Of eighteen years she said; Hair streaked with gray, but many a curl That clustered 'round her head. She had a worn but learned air, And she was plainly clad; Her eyes were dim with vacant stare Her beauty (?) made me sad. "Mid-Year classmates, little maid. How many may you be?" "How many? Seven in all," she said And proudly looked at me. " I pray you tell me where are they each?" "Seven are we," she replied; Two of us at Wenatchee teach And two at home reside. Two of us are at the U. Hard studies still pursuing; And one at Sedro-VVoolley, too. Primary work a-doing. HIRING A MID-YEAR GRADUATE. (Three directors in room.) Hanks.—"Wall, let's get down to business. I called ye fellers in when I seen you goin' by. Jest received a letter from a gal that wants to teach our school. She hails from Bellingham— jest finished the Normal." Sherwood—"I don't go much on Normal people. "What's yer opinion?" Gibson—"Dunno. Maybe she'll fill the bill. But whatever is agreeable with the rest of you is agreeable with me." ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 4 ---------- 4 THE MESSENGER Hanks—''Reckon I might as well read the letter—(stumbles through it) (looks surprised) "Huh! guess I didn't read the hull dang thing before. * * * e ' I will be down on the 10:30 train, Tuesday, to make a personal application.' " (Stumbles over words.) "Tuesday!—that's today and—(looking at watch) it's eleven o'clock. She oughter be here." (She enters.) "Are ye the schoolmarm. Glad ye got here allright and had no trouble a-finding me. We were jest de-cussing you. Set down and we'll talk business." (Awkwardly introduces others.) "We found out by your letter that you wuz a Mid-Year graduate from Bellingham, so I suppose you have all the new-fangled notions. Can you teach muddling?" Lady—"Please, sir; I don't understand." Gibson—"Why, didn't you have clay muddling?" Lady—"Oh, cbay modeling! Why, yes; I had a thorough course in that in my Manual training under Miss Hogle, who never did do anything by halves. Sherwood—"Very good; but can you 'tend to the children's health?" Lady—"Oh, my; Yes! Miss Gottleib's pink pills cure any ills. You know she is the School Nurse. We are proud to be the only Normal School west of the Rockies with such a department. Miss Gottlieb gives three hours daily to special work in the Training School." Hanks—"Tut! tut! we are satisfied that their health will be properly attended to but can you make the young-un's behave? Do you believe in corporal punishment?" Lady—"Miss George taught us to use moral persuasion, and I have brought this method to a science. You may feel perfectly confident that I am equal to any occasion and have sufficient ability to cope with the most startling situation." Hanks—"Well, what do you say? Gentlemen, shall we hire this yere young lady?" Gibson—"Whatever is agreeable with the rest of you is agreeable with me." Sherwood—"It seems to me we ought to go a little farther into the matter to see if she knows enough. Did you pass high in your studies? Where's your certificate?" Lady—"Here it is—and here's my diploma, which shows I graduated with honors." Hanks—"Do you all feel satisfied, gentlemen?" Gibson—"As I said before, whatever is agreeable with the rest of you is agreeable with me." ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 5 ---------- THE MESSENGER h Sherwood—"I'll admit she don't look as though she could do it. Those boys are big, you know. But maybe, she can; looks sometimes are deceiving, I'll admit." Hanks—"I move we elect her to teach our school here in Bonnyville for the ensuing year." Sherwood—"I second the motion." Gibson—"I'm agreeable." Hanks—"Allright Miss what's yer name? Yes Caldwell— yes. Come into the next room, please, and we'll sign th.- contract.'' • • • gt; RICH RELATIONS. (Antithesis of Chas. Lamb's "Poor Relations.") A rich relation—a distant god, worshiped from afar,—a source of pride—and also of sorrow,—a magnet for gold,—an icebox for love,—man but not human,—patronizing saint,—with touch of Midas,—and knife of Shylock,—a piece of self-righteousness— puffed up to bursting,—an excellent example—to which distance lends enchantment,—a bountiful giver—in his own estimation,— man without pity,—feared by his friends,—and hated by his enemies,—he liveth until old age,—and dies—a Success! He cometh in splendor,—and bringeth his wife. His ring is overbold. He entereth, smiling and confident. You fear him much,—but she strikes terror to your soul. Her glance is chilling, her manner frigid. He taketh the easy chair, but you sit bolt upright; your face becmes warm, but your heart is cold; you are facing him, but can see Her from the corner of your eye; you examine her stealthily; she is tall and still and very straight; her fingers are long, her face bloodless; her nose is pointed, and her mouth a hard line; she has the expression on her face of one who has come into contact with a bad odor. Her iron gray hair hangs around her ears in numerous corkscrew curls, which have the appearance of sticks. These are her one flipancy. Her eye is gray, and disapproval is in it. You follow her glance; your heart jumps to your mouth; your soul flees in panic. The blinds are not even! A drawer is half open! A paper on the floor! There's a hole in the curtain! There's dust on the mantle; there's dust on that chair! You are filled with a great desire to scream. Thousands of tiny needles prick your spine; your cheeks burn. But wait—he is talking; he discusseth the weather. The poor weather, an "ever present help in a time of trouble." He pon-dereth over a recent bank failure. He passeth remarks about politics, and all the while you are dumb. He speaketh of the latest book, and you prick up your ears. You talk slowly and with hes- ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 6 ---------- 6 THE MESSENGER itancy. But gradually your self consciousness leaves you. You forget Her. You plunge in. You are in your element. AVhen you are done Mr. F implies that he is very much surprised to find that you have a tolerable education. Dinner is called. You lead the way in. You venture to address Her as Aunt—and then wish you had not. You discover that Abagail is fat. clumsy, ungainly, redieulous. She looketh very little like a butler. Moreover fear has rendered her absolutely stiff. Her eyes are glazed; her lips pallid. She walks as one in a trance. She falleth over a rug, but saveth the soup. Mrs. IT sniffs. The meal progresses. The roast is excellent, the salad better. You feel relieved; you talk more freely. Mr. IT eats heartily, and passeth patronizing remarks. He says you have a good cook—patronizingly; a cozy little home—patronizingly; a well-stored library—patronizingly. He seems to think, considering all things, that you will do—in a pinch. He giveth good advice—witli his hand on his pocketbook. Not that you are in any especial need of aid. but he seems to have a continuous fear of being robbed. He reminds you of his infinite superiority by every word and geslure. After dinner you undertake to entertain Aunt A . You show her THE picture, your pride as long as you can remember. She sniffs. You give up in despair. The carriage comes. Exit the rich relatives. I remember, long ago. the visit of a rich relation. None of the family had ever seen her. One day we received a letter saying that she would be down for a few days. Mother was panic- stricken, and wailed bitterly against fate. But. as there was nothing else to do, she resolved to make the best of it, and so, for a week beforehand, the hum of preparation filled the air. The old house became a hive of industry. Carpets were pulled up, taken out, and beaten into submission. Floors and woodwork were scrubbed, the fence was painted, moss scraped off the roof, and the most remote corners became scrupulously clean. Then she came. "Not as a conquorer comes," however. She was a middle-aged, rather fleshy woman, heavily upholstered in black silk. A more motherly soul there never was. When she saw us children she opened her arms and heart, and we crept in. She kept us in her heart forever. The following week was one of great happiness. Our visitor swept and helped cook, and insisted that she enjoyed it, and I really believe that she did. After this, the Christmas-tide never came but what a generous box of necessities and comforts came with it from Aunt Mary. And she usually brought her own cheerful self among us ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 7 ---------- THE MESSENGER 7 sometime during the year, proving herself a blessing and a friend in more ways than one. And this was a Rich Relation. LEW A. GREENE. *i» »•» •:• LAST MESSAGE FROM THE MID-YEARS. "Hello! May I speak to Dr. Mathes?" "Yes, just a moment. Dr. Mathes has just stepped out in the hall to request the obstreperous Juniors to refrain from all unnecessary commotion.'' (Three minutes later.) "Hello! This is Dr. Mathes!" "Hello! This is Claude William Clifford. President of that august body of Mid-Year Seniors, who have recently departed from your great institution of learning." "Yes, yes; I shall be greatly honored to render any favor to one representing such a highly intelleelual organization. Would it be a presumption on my part to ask if I may be of any service?" "The Mid-Year Seniors feel it their duty to attend to certain important matters before they leave these walls forever, where their intellectual light has shone so brightly. We will intrust this high mission to none other than you." " I am at your service." "The Mid-Years are not so seriously concerned over the fate of the Senior Class.

"And now to the Undergraduates we wish to say an encouraging word: As we know, all growing things must pass through a stage of greenness; some of course, remaining green longer than others; but if great care be exercised in regard to their advancement, we hope they may soon outgrow this stage of greenness, and all their noble efforts be crowned with success."

'' We '11 be there !'' VERNA PRADER. • * • •*• •*• ART IN THE HOME. In house decoration and furnishings the relation of objects must be studied. If art is placed in a false relation to one object it flees from all. If we want art to begin at home, as it must, we will have to clear our houses of troublesome superfluities that are forever in the way. These unnecessary articles are no real comfort, but make work for servants and doctors. House decoration has a different meaning in recent years. Superfluities ought to be no longer tolerated. Uniting use with beauty is being more thoroughly recognized and understood. There is still need for greater simplicity. Decoration must resc, rather than weary, the eye. Unrelated things are very trying in the home unless one has a studio or is a collector of unrelated furnishings. The first quality that makes every home attractive and interesting is individuality. Oftentimes this must mean something far removed from the artistic, which in its perfection is slow growth like every form of Art. Lavish and expensive purchases frequently produce hideous results. Art does not necessarily mean a great outlay of money. Of course to get artistic effects with little money requires taste, individuality, time and study. Houses may be really charming ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 9 ---------- THE MESSENGER 'J with few and simple things selected with care and thought. It U well to make the home a daily study of correctness of relations, and beauty, of color and comfort. Men prefer, I believe, a simplicity of surroundings, and not over-elaboration. The feminine nature seems to enjoy a room that has plenty, sometimes unnecessary furnishings, needless for comfort. Much Art can be expressed in window decoration. Windows should not be filled with objects, but kept free, so that one can feel the warmth of the blessed sunshine, or see the glories of mountains, sea or sky. It is bad enough to have four or five curtains at a window, without adding table, vases, statuettes and other unnecessary devices for keeping out the light. A dim light, I confess, is very charming in certain rooms. Indeed, every room is more attractive in a soft, subdued light by night, as well as by day. But sunshine may be let in without the rooms being glaring or harsh. Objects to show to advantage must have a background. A pretty window decoration is flowers or plants. In the make-up of a home there are at least four things seriously to take into consideration: proportion, material, coloring, and form. Material is the least thing to trouble us. If the proportion, coloring and form seem to be proper in relation to other objects, the material may have little attention. Tapestries and paintings can be found in every moderate home. They fit into dark corners and into odds wall spaces. Bits of color in stained glass are successfully applied to many windows, especially those that are placed high, such as transom lights, or the windows in the hall or vestibule. I visited a very artistic home in Portland, Oregon, two years ago, one room of which I will describe. It served as a family room, where comfort and simplicity were the things considered. In it were at least five Morris chairs, several couches with many pillows, which were in place for use, not simply to be admired for the expert needlework; a concert grand piano, a few pictures, three of which were landscapes. There was an immense fireplace of red tiling, with plenty of room for large logs, which gave forth warmth and cheer to those who gather around. Some book shelves, containing about five hundred volumes, stood between a double window and the fireplace. There was another large window. Neither had shades, but beautiful, heavy, decorated curtains were drawn well back, allowing all the light possible to shine in. The leading colors of the whole room was in a soft brown and a deep, warm red, which gave everyone a restful and cheery feeling. Art may not be the greatest thing in the world, although to me it is the sweetest, because on it largely depends the individuality and the harmony of nnr homes. RW/r/iT!

Dinner was served at 5:30. after which there was a good time in the parlor. On the evening of January 21st occurred an informal reception given by the Juniors, at which the Mid-Year Seniors were the guests of honor. A short play. "Carroty Nell," was entertainingly presented. The Juniors sang their Class Song, which is very clever. Amusing cartoons were thrown upon the canvas illustrating Normal life and the peculiarities of its Faculty and Students. The audience was especially delighted with these. Kefreshments were served at a late hour. The guests agree that this was one of the most pleasant evenings spent together this year. • Dr. and Mrs. Mathes entertained the Mid-Year graduates at an elaborate seven-course dinner.

The Mid-Years appreciate very much the efforts of the Faculty and Students toward making their last days in B. S. N. S. pleasant. After the Commencement exercises, the January graduates and the Seniors passed up in Society Hall, which was beautifully decorated. A half hour was spent in games and conversation, after which chocolate and wafers were served in the cafeteria. The Seniors and the newly graduated ones enjoyed very much their perhaps last good time together. However, it is hoped that the Mid-Years will re-unite with the Seniors in June. On Saturday evening, January 28. the Alkasiah Society, Boys' Debating Club, History Club and Mid-Year graduates were beautifully entertained by the Philomatheans in Society Hall. The hall was very tastefully decorated with pennants, pillows, foliage, etc. The earlier part of the evening was spent in playing Mattedore. Mr. Bryant Avas awarded the prize, which was a very pretty B. S. N. S. pennant. After the games light refreshments were served and then all were favored with a clever program, which contained the following numbers: Piano duet Miss Flowers. Miss Devereaux Recitation Miss Gr.

Class Officers— President—Claude Gifford. Vice-President—Agnes Caldwell. Sec. and Treasurer—Gertrude Scott. On September 13, 1910, eight students, conspicuous among the throng because of their dignified bearing, wended their way up to the Normal to take their places as members of the Class of 1910!/o. This was not a new adventure for any of the eight, for they had all been former students of the School. Five of them had plodded along the year before as Juniors. This experience had fully prepared them to return and take up the role of dignified Seniors. The other two were 1909 Juniors, but had dropped out of the ranks in 1910 in order to test their pedagogic skill and to apply some of the methods with which they were burdened. Early in the year the Class organized, with Claude Clifford as President, Agnes Caldwell as Vice-President and Gertrude Scott as Secretary and Treasurer. At the end of the first Quarter one member of the Class dropped out, but the others worked on with increased earnestness. What the Mid-Years lack in quantity they make up in quality. All have proved themselves very efficient in their School work. Several of them have completed the course in sixteen months. As a Class, they have taken a lively interest in all School affairs. Miss Caldwell held the office of Vice-President of the Students' Association and Miss Rexroth was a member of the Board of Control. Besides this, most of the students of the Class have taken an active part in the work of the Literary Societies and the Y. W. C. A. During the last two weeks of the Semester the members of the Class have been honorary guests at a number of social gatherings. Miss Gray entertained them at dinner at the Dormitory. Dr. Mathes had a dinner in their honor at his home. Miss Sperry invited the girls of the Class to a social time at her home, and both the Juniors and Seniors have entertained royally for them at the School. All these good times and "feeds" were greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the Seniors. As the times for departure approaches all look forward to it with joy as they think of the diplomas which they shall receive, but with sadness as they think of leaving forever the scenes of so many happy hours. Thus has the Class of 1910y2 ended its career in the Belling-ham Normal. G. S., '10%. ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Plate [a] ---------- GERTRUDE EVELYN SCOTT South Bellingham, Wash.

But still, so close we feel this land, So sure we are that these same hearts are true, That when in waking dreams there comes a call That sets the thread of memory aglow; We know that just by stretching out the hand In written words of love, or book or flower, The waiting hand will clasp our own once more, Across the silence in the same old way."—Selected. ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 17 ---------- THE MESSENGER 17 JUNIOR NOTES.

On December 28, the Normal basketball team played the local Y. M. C. A. quintet in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The floor had just been anointed with some sort of a slippery preparation which appeared to be soft soap, and the players were unable to tell just when it would be their turn to stand on their head, turn a somersault, or "slide, Kelly, slide!" This made the game rather slow from a basket ball standpoint, but the Y. M. boys managed to get away with the big end of the score. The Normal line-up: Carver, forward; Lord, forward; Odle, center; Tucker,-guard; Krausc, guard. • EVERETT, 29; NORMAL, 20. On December 30, the Normal played Everett in the Everett gymnasium. It was a hard, fast game, but as the Everett gym. has no sidelines and as the walls were rather rough, the players "roughed i t " more or less, and several of the players lost liberal portions of their epidermis. The score was even at the end of the first half, but the Everett boys made three baskets at the beginning of the second half, and this gave them a lead which the Normal could not overcome. The Normal line-up: Carver, forward; Lord, forward; Odle, center; Fritz, guard; Tucker, guard. • BELLINGrHAM HIGH, 28; NORMAL, 26. On Wednesday, January 11, the Normal again went down to defeat before the swift Bellingham High team. The game was played at the Y. M. C. A. and was hard fought from beginning to end. Carver and Fritz played classy ball for the Normal, and ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 22 ---------- 22 THE MESSENGER in fact, the whole team put up a fine game. It was only by some chance of fate that the Normal did not win. The Normal line-up: Carver, forward; Lord, forward; Odle, center; Fritz, guard; Tucker, guard. • Y. M. C. A., 36; NORMAL, 18. When the Normal again played the Y. M. C. A., it was on "Friday the Thirteenth" of January, and our boys surely did have bad luck. It happened during the cold spell, and as the game did not start until nine o'clock, the spectators almost froze while waiting for it to begin. It was undoubtedly the Normal's day off, for the Y. M. C. A. piled up a big score, especially during the last half. After the game the members of both teams were the guests at an oyster supper, given at the Dormitory, which they enjoyed very much. • BELLINGHAM HIGH, 18; NORMAL, 20. But on Monday evening, January 23, things took a sudden change for the better. The Normal quintet met the High School in our gymnasium and just played all around them. The balconies were filled with hilarious rooters and pandemonium reigned throughout the game. The High School boys started things going by making a couple of field baskets. This woke up the Normal boys and they went at it like tigers. During the first half the score ran pretty evenly, although the ball was down at Normal end of the floor most of the time. The Normal boys had a streak of bad luck shooting baskets and missed a large percentage of their shots. The High School had better luck along this line; but owing to the excellent work of our guards did not have nearly so many chances. The score stood 12-12 at the end of the first half. The second half was a fierce, fast contest, with the Normal in the lead most of the half. The High School boys were desperate and took all sorts of long chances at the basket, but to no avail. "Gunpowder" Fritz was the bright and shining star of the entire game; for besides keeping his own forward from making a single field goal, and stopping the fierce rushes of "Zeke" Burpee, he played an excellent offensive game and made several points for the Normal. Carver played his same clean, consistent game and mad* ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 23 ---------- TEE MESSENGER 23 more points than any other man on the Normal team. "Jess" "White, who made his first appearance on the Normal team in this game, passed cleverly, and with the aid of Fritz, succeeded m "showing u p " "Zeke" Burpee in proper style.

On Saturday evening, January 28, the Normal team went to LaConner and won their second game. Our boys had it all their own way, although the LaConner boys put up a pretty good game and were a very decent bunch to play against. "Jess" "White played a fine game for the Normal, making more scores than anyone else. Incidentally it might be said that White has some class when it comes to basketball and his appearance on our team seemed to be a signal for a change for the better. Lord made five baskets and Carver four, while Krausc and Fritz made baskets while playing guard. The Normal line-up: Carver, forward; Lord, forward; White, center; Fritz, guard; Krausc, guard. FRESHMEN, 28; SECOND YEARS, 13. But the first team is not doing it all in basket ball these days. On Friday evening, January 20, the Freshmen met and conquored the Second Years. During the first half the Freshies slaughtered their opponents unmercifully, but the Second Years took a brace in the second half and made a somewhat better showing. Johns was the star of the Freshmen, making 22 of their 28 points.

Immediately after the Freshman-Second Year game, because this affray had been so one-sided and so unsatisfactory to the audience, a select team, composed entirely of basketball stars, decided to haul down the flying colors of the over-important Freshmen, and issued a challenge. It was accepted and the battle took place immediately. During the first half things looked bad for the Stars, for Krausc ran all around Heath at center, and the half ended 4-11 in favor of the Freshmen. But during the second half, the Stars were fully aroused and began to show their Class. They passed all around their opponents and Becker and Rogers, two peerless forwards, dropped the ball into the basket at will. Thus it was that after the smoke had cleared away, it was found that the Stars were the victors. The line-up: Select Team— Position —Freshmen Becker forward Johns Rogers forward Knaack Heath center Krausc Odle guard Hurd Dock Copenhaver guard Jim Copenhaver The Athletic Girls this year have been very slow in coming to the front. No spirit whatever has been worked up among the girls. A few practice games were played before the Christmas holidays, but since that no sound of the whistle has been heard, indicating that the girls were once again making ready for the final games which are to take place in the near future. ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 25 ---------- THE MESSENGER 25 Girls! In no epoch in the history of the School have Girls' Athletics been so dead. They have always stood on the level with the boys. Last year there were four strong teams on the field and each team put up a hard fight for victory. What is this drawback due to ? It is not the lack of capability on the part of the plaj^ers because we have as promising material if not better than the teams of the past years. Now that examinations are no more until next quarter, try to make good your opportunity and help your team by being on deck to practice, not once in awhile, but every practice. Don't leave it for the few to win the laurels for your Class, but each member get out and help, for without union you cannot win. Seniors are you aware of the fact that you hold the Kline Cup? Last year we worked hard for the honors and must we have it taken away without even an effort to retain it? Earnest practice on the part of each individual player is all the Senior team lacks. Put Athletics down as one of your new subjects and start all over fresh with the spirit that will move the girls in basket-ball. • • • THE BASKET-BALL GIRL. There's a hush on down at our house, and we all speak soft and low, As my music teacher'd put it, we are pianissimo; We have quit our daily scrappin' and we don't yell things at all, Now that Sister's taken to playin' basket-ball. The baby's scared and quiet, and his whoops are few and faint; Cousin Hannah's quit her jawin' and is behavin' like a saint; Even Pa and Mother ain't so harsh like in their call, Now that Sister's taken to playin' basket-ball. Sister used to be a ninny, till she tackled that new game, Now she's got a muscle that'd put a man to shame; And we never stop to argue with a girl who's on the maul Now that Sister's taken to playin' basket-ball. All those candy-givin' fellers she has chased off long ago; And, unless he eats raw beefsteak, any beau don't stand a show; If she walks up to the altar, Pa declares the man'11 crawl Now that Sister's taken to playin' basket-ball. —'12. • • • Heard in the Hall: D.

"Take a little dash of water cold. A little leaven of prayer. A little bit of sunshine gold. .Dissolved in 1he morning air. Add to the meal some merriment And a thought of kith and kin: Then, as a prime ingredient A plenty of work thrown in. Spice it all with essence of love And a little sprinkle of play. Let a good old Book and a glance above Complete the well-spent day." V The Bible Institute, which was announced in last month's Messenger, has been postponed. The dates now set are February 24, 25 and 2G. AYe are expecting to have Mrs. Campbell and Miss Springer, of Seattle. The program will be of vital interest to every student. • Four vacancies occurred in the Y. AY. C. A. Cabinet at the close of the first semester. Miss Cenevn Johnson has been appointed Chairman of the Mission Study Committee to supply the place vacated by Agnes Caldwell, graduated. Miss Inez Clawsen will act as Chairman of the Devotional Committee in place of Emma Rexroth. graduated. Evelyn Drift leaves us to teach and Minnie Burroughs will be chairman of the Extension Committee. During the first semester there were two mission study classes: One by Miss Ilillis. on ' ' J a p a n . " and one by Miss Norton, on "Korea." Both were very successful and those who took them felt more than repaid for the time thus spent. This Semester Miss Hillis will give her work on " J a p a n" again, and Dr. Mat lies wil have a class on "South America." It is hoped that many will take the advantage of these courses. • February 10th Mrs. Frank Deerwester will give a song recital in the Auditorium for the benefit of the Y. AY. C. A. All ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 31 ---------- TEE MESSENGER 31 who have heard Mrs. Deerwester sing will be pleased to have this opportunity of hearing her again. The last of February Ave will have with us for a short time. Miss Michi Kawai, of Tokyo. Japan. Miss Kawai is a graduate of Bryn MaAvr, '07. After leaving America she returned to Japan and taught in a private school. She is the active member from Japan on the World's Committee, as well as a member of the National Committee of Japan, and has been leader of the Student Conferences in Japan for four years. This past Summer is the first time they have ever had a conference in Japan without Miss Kawai as leader. Last year, when the Committee was preparing for the Berlin Conference, they wanted someone to write a paper on the place that the Young "Women's Christian Association has in the missionary awakening, and chose Miss Kawai. She was also a delegate at the great Missionary Conference at Edinburgh. The Summer months of 1910 were spent in America, attending some of the Y. W. C. A. Summer conferences. Her talks. "An Appeal for Leadership." given at Lake Geneva Conference and "Present Student Conditions in J a p a n , " which are given in the Association Monthly, are very interesting. Miss Kawai is now on her way home. She will visit about seventeen of the forty-two City and Student Associations of the Northwest territory:—Montana, Idaho. Oregon and Washington. While with us Miss Kawai will tell of the work that Miss Margaret Matthews, our Coast Association Secretary, is doing in Tokyo. No one can afford to miss meeting and hearing Miss Kawai. • YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB. An unusual interest was manifested at the regular election of officers, held January 26th. The candidates for the various offices for the ensuing Semester were nominated at the direct primary on January 12, the two parties in the field being the "Progressives" and the "Revolutionary." Platforms were formulated and an active and somewhat unique campaign conducted, party spirit running high. The campaign was well planned by each party, and the election conducted strictly "according to Hoyle," judges, clerks, ballot- boxes and all other election paraphernalia being provided. Much credit is due J. G. Davis, one of the campaign managers, for his untiring efforts to see that the election was properly conducted. The polls were opened at 7:30 p. m., and so great was ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 32 ---------- 32 THE MESSENGER the rush for ballots that Col. Knaaek, sergeant-at-arms, had great difficulty in restoring order. The election resulted in the selection of the Hon. C. A. Hanks for President, and Col. John L. Sloan for Sergeant-at-Arms, representing the Progressives; S. G. DeGross for Vice-President, and F. Vandermein for Secretary and Treasurer, being elected by the Revolutionary Party. Short speeches-were delivered by each of the successful candidates, President Hanks delivering an ornate inauguration oration, in which he briefly outlined the policy of the Club for the remainder of the School-Year, the following being some of the innovations: Inter- Society debate, organization of a Club Quartet, posting of programs one month in advance, social events in which the "fair sex" will be requested to participate. The newly inaugurated President named the following committees : Program Committee—J. G. Davis, Chairman; Chas. Becker, J. E. Lidell. Social Committee—H. F. Heath, Chairman; H. E. Rogers, W. E. Bryant. Musical Direct—H. F. Heath. The Club needs every progressive young man in School and you need us. The character of the work we are undertaking will well be worth your while.

Miss Gottlieb gave the first of a series of short talks on health. In her eharacterislicly concise and straightforward manner. Miss Gottlieb impressed upon us all the absolute necessity of perfect bodily health in order 1o maintain the highest degree of efficiency. "That an ounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure" was demonstrated in a most able manner and from statistics (which have since been well borne out) Miss Gottlieb assured us that the Normal people have not adopted that maxim as their healih creed. However, with her assistance, we expect io improve. • Immediately after the holidays we were accorded the privilege of listening to an address by Dr. Schoenburg, of 1he San Jose Normal School of California. The theme of Dr. Schoenburg's most interesting talk was "Personality." The able manner in which the subject was handled, together with the charming presence of the speaker, made it one of the most enter!Mining addresses of the School year. The Student body received many helpful ideas. Perhaps no people or nation are so misunderstood by the general public as the people of India. Their religious, social and political ideals, differing as they do from the ideals and creeds of Eastern civilization often seem incomprehensible to Occidental minds; and an insight into their social organization by one of their own race proves most interesting and enlightening. We were afforded this privilege through the address of Mr. Boren, a native Hindoo, now enrolled in the U. of W. Somewhat handicapped by the foreign tongue, nevertheless, Mr. Boren delivered a pleasing discourse, portions of which were illustrated with slides. • • gt; • A TRAGEDY. One evening in the Dorm., while all was quiet (?) a Senior girl discovered in her room a mysterious looking box. Being frightened as to the contents, she gave a loud call for help. Girls came rushing from every part of the house and. wild-eyed and wondering, they filled the doorway and hall. "What is i t ? " some one shouted. "Take the lid off," cried another. "A mouse!" " A spider!" "A mouse!" "An old egg!" ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page 37 ---------- TEE MESSENGER 37 suggested the panic-stricken girls, according to their experiences. No one was brave enough to venture to remove the lid. Some one suggested a broom and. securing it, Avent timidly toward the box, when the owner of the room interfered by shouting: "For mercy's sake! Don't you dare let it loose in this room!" So they proceeded to drag the cause of the disturbance from the room. As it approached the hall, the girls fled in terror, but one Senior, braver than her companions, remained. Gingerly picking up the box, she deposited it on a chair and also fled. By this time another of the brave eleven had recovered to such an extent, that with her usual quiet dignity, she slowly approached the disturbing element of the evening. Surrounded by her awe-stricken and faint-hearted underclassmen, each ready to run at a moment's notice, she courageously, although carefully, raised the lid and the trembling spectators beheld a Safety pin! • • • TO EACH HIS NEED. (A Christmas Prayer, by Ella Higginson.) To the hungry, Lord, give food; To the cold, a cheerful fire; To the young man, a faith to keep; To the maid, her heart's desire. To the old, give memories; To youth, ideals fair; To him that, singing, fares alone, The stars and wide, sweet air. To the lonely, kindness, Lord; To the homeless one, a home; And unto him of the wandering foot, The long, wild road to roam. To the timid one, the mead, With daisies dappled o'er; But to the passionate-hearted, Lord, The ocean's surge and roar. Yea, mountains vast and high, Crowned with eternal snow; And thundering to the purple sea. The glacier's splendid flow. Unto each one his need, Though it be light or deep; And unto all in sorrow, Lord,— The blessed boon of sleep. ---------- Messenger - 1911 February - Page [xiv] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS ABSOLUTE SAFETY We will be pleased to have you visit our safe deposit vaults.

Baker towering in the background. The school is in its twenty-first year of splendid achievement, and has graduated two thousand six hundred people. These twenty-six hundred graduates represent forty-nine different occupations. This manifests the various vocations for which one may prepare at the Normal. The greatest number, or one thousand four hundred sixty-two, are engaged in some form of pedagogical work, four hundred forty-eight are housewives, seventy-six are doing advanced study at colleges and universities, and fifty-nine are clerical workers. The number engaged in each of the other occupations range from one to seven. The standards of teaching have been raised each year. From the beginning, those graduating from the eighth grade were admitted. So the requirement remained for ten years when it became necessary for one to complete one year of high school before entering. The following year, two years of high school training were required, and in 1917, one had to be a graduate of high school before entering. Now the qualifications are the same as those for college entrance. One-year, two-year and three-year courses are now offered, and this year a four-year basis for the Normal was authorized. Also a one-year course is offered to university graduates. The courses of study have been expanded. New features have been Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 9 ---------- added in the various departments. The Federal Government has granted six thousand dollars to the Department of Hygiene. This department will be co-ordinated with the Department of Biological Science. With the co-operation of the head of this department with the School Nurse and the Physical Education, instructors and teachers will be better trained to carry on general work in personal and community hygiene. The enlarged manual training building provides separate rooms for elementary woodwork, advanced woodwork, forge work, mechanical draw-ing, printing, and smaller rooms for repairing and finishing work. A great development has taken place in the Extension Department in the past two years, and results of this work are becoming more and more pronounced. This course is given to those who wish to do part of their Normal work while teaching, and receive credits for their work, graduates who wish to keep in touch with the educational movements of the day, graduates of other institutions who wish to take some Normal work, and teachers and others desiring general culture. Sixteen of our teachers are engaged in this field, and twenty-two subjects are taught. These instructors sometimes hold community meetings where people may get in closer touch with one another, or where they may learn from speakers sent out from this school. By special arrangement, books may be secured from the Normal Library by those taking correspondence work. The Student Loan Fund has proved instrumental to many in securing their education. Students may borrow from this fund to complete an entire course if they so desire. The fund increased from $1,800 to $12,000 in two years through the assistance of 'Mr. Charles Allen, of Seattle. As the demand for more and better teachers is in evidence, so this school has and ever will meet that situation, by itself becoming bigger and better each year.

Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS SUMMARY At this closing time of the year, when our sojourn as Juniors is almost over, it seems rather difficult to summarize the many activities of our class. As we look back over the path we have trod, we think with sorrow that our Junior days will be no more. Many jolly mixers, where the spirit of good-fellowship held sway, helped us in becoming acquainted, and in binding us together in unvidided loyalty to the Class of 1921. The art of the Juniors to enjoy a good time is unsurpassed and the memory of these jollifications will be with us always. Clubs and societies rejoiced to find in our midst such talent and wisdom. Without us their former reputations could never have been upheld. In athletics we have shown our capability and willingness to play the game, as well as to give the " peppy" support that means so much to every team. Our girls showed their efficiency by their victory over the mighty Seniors in the Kline Cup series. The majority of the members of the school teams, needless to say, were chosen from the Class of 1921. Dramatics also held a high place among us. Our class play, "The Scarecrow," will long be remembered by those who saw it. The beauty of the play and the talent of the players made that finished production one of our most treasured memories. The success of the year is due to a very large extent to the unceasing work, and true interest of our class advisors, and to them we are deeply grateful. " In closing, "when distance lends enchantment to the view," and fond memory brings to our minds the many helpful and joyful things that happened during our dear Junior days, may we show by our deeds and lives our appreciation for all that we have gained, and, as Tiny Tim said, "God bless us everyone!" - BERNICE DAY. Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 28 ---------- FRAYER 'p4 ~A gt; ) VI, V. 0le runior's 3arIell We needs must ponder ere we journey forth With joyous hopes, each on his separate way, A little on those things we leave behind, Which came to mean so much in our brief stay. The new-made friends from whom we now must part, The hills we climbed, the vales we wandered through Those things which helped enrich and shape our lives Are ours eternally, though we must bid old scenes adieu. Twenty-eight TEFPARATIOU PLIIMOEE ), 13 ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 29 ---------- In the early days of September a crowd of expectant looking persons assembled from the four corners of the earth, waited their turn patiently in Professor Bever's office. Some felt more at home than others, as they were Juniors the year before, others having done some work in other insti-tutions, and still others, in fact the majority, were returning after several years of experience in the teaching profession. This is the secret of the patience shown as they waited their turn in the line, standing first upon one foot and then upon the other. The following officers were elected for the first quarter: Pearl Nesson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . President Helen Robertsen .. . .. ...... . Vice-President Ethel Burkland .. ............. . Secretary Mary Lee.. . ............. . Treasurer SECOND QUARTER OFFICERS Stella Lowry ....... ......... . President Regina Frank . ..... ..... Vice-President Mildred Murry ............ . .

Secretary Agnes Pettigrew . . . ... .... .. . Treasurer The opening days of school were indeed busy ones and several social functions did much toward making the students happy. The first Senior mixer was enjoyed during the last days of October. Did we have a good time! Anyone who made their entrance into the gymnasium by sliding down the " chutes " and joined in all the contests and games with zest will say we spent an enjoyable evening. The Senior Class did their part toward bidding their brothers and sisters, the November and March graduates, a fond adieu. A delightful banquet was given in honor of the March graduates at the Pheasant Tea Room and Dr. Nash most delightfully entertained them as well. The seventeenth of April was the date of the famous Chuckanut Marathon in which a large per cent of the school participated. Competi-tion was strong between the classes for the winning of the prize, the Herald cup, but the spirit in which the students responded was whole-hearted and joyous. Among the whirl of events that occupied our last days together was the " Senior Sneak." Yes, it was a real sneak! All cares were put aside. Such worries that especially appear during the " last days " were absolutely forgotten. Eats were plenty, spirits were high, studies were forgotten. You know the rest! We sincerely appreciate the hearty co-operation of our class advisors, Mr. Bever and Dr. Miller, and now I suppose we must bid our dear B. S. N. S. a long farewell. Although it is farewell, still memory will always bring us back to her. - ANAIDE MAE MYERS. Twenty- nine ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 30 ---------- #rnior Cass rop pry Mildred Murray - Margaret Xitco is still in the profession. Now at Columbia. ;o Hazel Peterson - Anne Adams is studying music in New York. She made old B. S. N. S. a visit while on her last tour of the West. Edith Kesler--You ask for a list of Elwyn Bugge's latest plays. Here are six of them: "Blue Roses," "Midnight at Noon," " The Flea Who Loved an Elephant," "The Horrible Joy," "The Stationary Comet" and "Reaching Down 9 " from the Bottom." Ethel Burklund - Could I advise you as to which would make the better husband, a garage man or a floor walker? What, not married yet? I-/. . No, I'm sorry. I can't. Gertrude Dupuis - You can get the Columbia record of Mme. Peronteau's recitation entitled "To a Man Who Journeyed Afar." Ann Bennett--No, Effie Mann and Rhoda Hubbard are not jealous of each other. Why should they be? They each have a husband. Harry Bartruff- -No, indeed, never let a woman have the key to your heart; there's more fun letting her pick the lock - at last!!! Russel MacPherson - Yes, Ethel Brown is teaching in South America. What's the matter, Mac; did your bubbles fade and die? Estelle Burnside - No, I have searched the country over and not yet have I found a man with "parallel" eyebrows. I'm afraid, Estelle, you will have to change your tastes.

" Gladys Jensen- Yes, Mrs. Carpenter's life work has been and will be illustrated lecture courses on "Look Before You Leap." Olga Kuehl - As to Clyde. Bancroft's whereabouts. You remember he was wounded three times in the Meuse-Argonne offensive (consult your anatomy dictionary) and now he has joined the Bull's Eye Film Co. Francis John- What, Francis, still an old maid? You want to know what I believe about equality between man and woman. "I do not talk of equality between a cabbage and a rose." Grace Green - Harold Marshall is now at Washington debating the nation-wide anti-grape juice question. Lyla Robin - " Dr." Warrick is now studying :n Vienna. His former practice has been at Ferndale. - M. A. P. '20.

The store has been in existence since 1908 and, until four years ago, was operated by student help. Then Mr. C. C. Baughman, a former student of this school, took full charge and under his capable and efficient manage-ment its resources have steadily increased until now its capital outlay is practically four times what it was at the time he assumed the management. During the past year Miss Ruth Sanford, a graduate of Whatcom High School, of this city, has ably served as the store assistant, and her pleasant manner and charming personality have won her the friendship of all the students. The " Co-op " aims not only to supply students with the proper equip-ment for school and recreative life at moderate cost, but it stands for efficiency in its management, prompt service and courtesy to its patrons.

It did not at that time bear the name under which it is now published, "The Weekly Messenger." In 1903 the size of the paper was slightly increased, and it was then published monthly and remained a monthly publication until 1916 when it became a weekly publication, although its size had again been increased both in size of sheet and in number of pages. The paper was very successful and has continued since that time as " The Weekly Messenger." During the present school year the paper has been published in the regular sized eight-page form with the exception of a few issues during the second quarter when it was temporarily reduced to meet the extra expense incurred by the publication of a very beautiful magazine issued at the Christmas season giving a history of the institution and appropriate cuts of the buildings and grounds and a handsome full-page photograph of the president of the school to whom the special issue was dedicated. The Weekly Messenger is published by the Students' Association of the Bellingham State Normal School. A business manager is appointed by the Board of Control at the beginning of each year, and is paid a salary. The editor is appointed quarterly through the advice and recommendation of the censor of the paper and the endorsement of the Board of Control. He receives credit in English. A faculty advisor is appointed by the president of the school and does the work of censorship of the contributed material as well as the general makeup of the paper. Training in journalism is required for eligibility to the office of editor or staff-membership.

During the past year our Normal School has made a very satisfactory record in that line; although one branch of sports did not "function" in our school this year. The second quarter of school found abundant material for a foot-ball squad worthy of representing the average college. However, it was the second quarter instead of the first when this material could have been used. In 1916, Coach Carver was given credit for turning out the strongest non-conference football team in the West. With the return of many of the men now in school, together with the coming of others who are suit-able, it is hoped that he may be able next fall not only to turn out a team able to make a good showing with the non-conference teams, but also that his team can be scheduled with conference representatives.

The sports par-ticipated in have been basketball, baseball, tennis and swimming. We are planning to have the hockey field fixed and play the clos-ing weeks of school. Although we have in- dulged in only a few games, credit is due to Miss Moffat and Mr. Carver for the splendid spirit of co- operation and sportsmanship which has been developed. The girls who have taken an active part in athletics have received the joy that comes from one of the best activities of school life. Every girl should share the opportunity offered them. CARVER p MOFFAT Fifty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 53 ---------- BASKETBALL FAIRHAVEN H. S. 8 - NORMAL 26 The basketball season opened after two weeks of practice in our " gymette " with a game with Fairhaven High School. The game was very greatly enjoyed by the spectators, for seldom does one see a game in which both teams pass and shoot so wildly. The game demonstrated to us a great need of team work and basket shooting. BLAINE H. S. 14 - NORMAL 26 MOUNT VERNON 8 - NORMAL 39 During the Christmas holidays the team assembled several times for practice; they also played two games during that time. The first was a contest with Blaine High School at Blaine and was a victory for the Normal. The second game was played with the Mount Vernon American Legion at Mount Vernon. Here the first signs of hope for a basketball team were raised, as great improvement was shown, both in passing and in basket shooting. WHATCOM 14 - NORMAL 15 We have no alibi for not running up a larger score on the loopers from Whatcom. A failure " to get started " seems the only excuse, although the game was a spirited game and was played before a large crowd. VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 26 - NORMAL 24 The fast Canadian group looped two free throws too many. They won a fair game and proved themselves true sportsmen. WHATCOM H. S. 12- NORMAL 18 In the second game played with Whatcom the Normal team was beaten according to soothsayers and prophets even before the game was staged or the first whistle blown. The large gym was a handicap to our men, after their practice on the smaller floor on the hill. However, we secured eight field goals to Whatcom's two and the final score stood in favor of the Normal. C. P. S. 8 - NORMAL 32 The quintet from Tacoma came up to play us in our own gym, but we failed " to get properly wound up." Our visitors demonstrated very good football tactics but they failed to loop the ball a single time during the entire game. They did manage to make eight out of seventeen free throws. VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 25 - NORMAL 15 Our little trip to the Canadian metropolis proved conclusively that a group playing together for several years has a very great advantage over the " one-year team." The Ex-Normal team again defeated us by out-playing and out-shooting us. ST. MARTIN'S COLLEGE 24 - NORMAL 33 St. Martin's College, of Lacy, spent a very enjoyable evening with us, leaving with the little end of the score. We found these fellows clean sports, and feel it a pleasure to have relations with them. Fifty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [54] ---------- BARTRUFF (CAPT.), G. YORKSTOW, F. JENKINs, F.

However, our team fought well and gave their opponents a hard battle. ST. MARTIN'S COLLEGE 27 - NORMAL 40 At our return game with St. Martin's at Lacy we again won by a com-fortable margin. STARTUP 23 - NORMAL 36 We started on our east-of-the-mountains trip, but the " flu " prevented our going farther than Startup where we played and won the last game of the season.

Our defeat was due mostly to wild pitching and wilder base throwing. MOUNT VERNON 9- NORMAL 7 Mount Vernon came up here two weeks later only to defeat us in the last inning. The Blue and White had gradually forged ahead until the eighth inning which found us two scores to the good. But our opponents, rallying, scored four times in the ninth and secured the victory. FAIRHAVEN 0 -NORMAL 8 The game with Fairhaven High School was encouraging, as well as providing excellent practice for the game with Whatcom which followed. WHATCOM 6- NORMAL 10 Again we found these prophets of sports rather dazed and uncertain when we defeated Whatcom High School. The team from the " School on the hill " started out rather raggedly in the first two innings and the boys and girls from Whatcom were delirious. But Coach Carver's men caught the spirit of the old fight and kept climbing until the close of the game.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Basketball, the most important and popular of girls' athletics, is inspir-ing much pep and enthusiasm in the basketball lovers. Both Juniors and Seniors hoped to receive the Kline Cup, but the Juniors were the pronounced all-star champions. Every year the two classes compete for the Kline Cup. PHILOS 33 -- RURAL LIFE 5 The Philos and Rural Life played a preliminary game before the clash of our boys with Whatcom. The game was a fast exhibition of girls' basket-ball. The fast and skillful guarding of Regina Frank and Hilda Woodburn prevented the Rural Life forwards from building up a high score. Only one field basket was secured by the Rural Life forwards, the other three points being made on free throws. PHILOS RURAL LIFE Agee ........ F........ Wilstead Xitco. ........ .........

NORMAL 18 - WHATCOM 16 On January 23, under Miss Moffat's coaching, our fast sextette defeated the hitherto supposedly invincible Whatcom girls' team in a closely con-tested game. Whatcom failed to come up to the Normal score during the first half, but during the second half they tied the score by securing a free throw, and two more field baskets made things seem pretty dark for the Normal team. The Normal team set to work in grim earnest and soon had the score in their favor and so it remained until the end of playing time. The lineup: Forwards, Agee, Wilstead, Evans; centers, Baker, Born-stein; guards, Frank, Stromford. JUNIORS 32- SENIORS 9 On Wednesday afternoon, February 11, occurred the first Junior- Senior game. The Juniors outranked their opponents from the start. The Seniors worked hard and played a clean game. JUNIORS SENIORS Agee . ...... . .......... Wilstead Bromley, Hartley ..... F. ..... . .

The Philo-Sopher was published first in October, 1919, to us falling the honor of being its editor. It immediately became the journal of the Philos and has fulfilled the duty of unifying the society. Who could forget the " Ode Initiatione " by Miss Whittier or the Forecast Number, edited by Miss Sutherland? The Junior coupe at the first of the year placed Roswell Oliver in the president's chair and two other of that class in offices. Miss Estella Burn-side, vice-president of the Student's Association and chairman of the Klip-sun Committee, was our next president. Elwyn Bugge, editor of the Klipsun, succeeded her in the third quarter. sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 63 ---------- The Philos boast of two Si's - " Sci " Philippi and " Psy " Kolstad. The Philo initiation proved a source of joy to the older members but of misery and fright to the " noveaux Philo." Spaghetti was the characteristic dish on the menu. Look into the records of responsible positions of the school and into the literary and other rewards. The Abou Ben Adhems' names are there. The Philos, as a society, were ten years of age on the twenty-second day of November. Then they celebrated in the true old Philo way at the home of Professor Philippi, with program, balloon races, birthday cake 'n everything. Dr. Nash, our oldest Philo, was present and gave us some advice as club members. The pinnacle of enjoyment was reached when we spent our annual week end at Mr. Kolstad's cottage by Lake Whatcom. The experience was varied, from sleeping in bath tubs and row boats to playing baseball on Sunday. Verily, we will go again, if invited. The annual banquet was held at the Leopold on April 10th. There our desires, physical and intellectual, were amply fulfilled, to the accompani-ment of music, readings and most witty toasts. That the Philos are appreciative of music was proved when we were entertained by the Philomonic Orchestra, which played from the works of Ivan Offulitch, the great Russian composer. When the orchestra had fin-ished we applauded loudly. Although the boys were defeated in basketball, the Philo girls obtained revenge by an unmentionable score. Santa Claus visited us three days before Christmas and applied for admission into the society. What does the word " Philomathean " mean? As Mr. Philippi explains, it may mean either " Lovers of Learning " or " Learners of Loving," perhaps. "That's why, that's why, a Philo feels that way. For once a Philo, always a Philo, forever and a day."

We are nearing the close of our fourteenth year. With each successive year we have added new friends and new ideals. The Alkisiah Club was formed in 1906 under the sponsorship of Miss Baker, who has continued in that capacity ever since. We hold the distinction of being the oldest club in the school and also of belonging to the National Federation of Women's Clubs. Throughout the years we have striven to keep always before us the ideals and the work of this great organization. Our first meeting this year was held at the home of Miss Baker, where although few in number we planned the work for the first quarter. One of the first social events of the year was the children's Hallowe'en party at Miss Baker's. Here all of the members came in pinafore and pgi-tail, to frolic before the fireplace and listen to stories. The success of a party, however, is always determined by the refreshments, so just mentioning pumpkin pie and stick candy will explain why everyone pro-claimed it " the nicest party " she had ever attended. Sixty-four p- pa~idk;3~j~i~~PY8~~S2- ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 65 ---------- The next event of importance was the initiation of new members. After finding their way from the third floor to the gymna,ium blindfolded, they were put through various stunts, even to riding the " goat." On February 14th, according to custom, we met at the Hotel Leopold for our annual banquet. There we were delighted to meet several of our former friends and clubmates. Now nineteen-twenty is a year That holds for girls a ray of cheer. So accordingly the Alkisiahs gave the first leap year party. Varying our custom of a Christmas bulb sale, we decided to postpone it until Easter time. Just before Easter about fifty blossoming bulbs were sold, from which we derived the double benefit of learning something of bulb culture as well as the financial aid. Hikes and outings comprised the social program for the spring months, our annual house party at Miss Baker's cottage on Lummi Island being the crowning event. Throughout the year we have had reports from the " Woman Citizen " in our meetings; in this way keeping in touch with the great work of the Federation. Last fall we received an inspiring report from the Federa-tion convention held in Centralia, Washington, to which Avis Dodge was our representative. We hope that again this year we may be represented. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER Muriel Lee ... ... .......... President Oza Myers . .. .... .. . . . . . Vice-President Lola Shepherd .... . . . . . . . .

Do you realize that it is just ten years since we were at Normal together? Well, you know my niece was just packing her trunk and getting ready to leave - yes, she is going to Bellingham, too. She leaves tomorrow. I was just telling her about the different clubs and organizations. Of course since I've told her about ours, the Ohiyesa, she says she wouldn't belong to any other. " Do you remember our year together - 1920, wasn't it? Yes, indeed - and that taffy pull, the first meeting of the year, wasn't it? Oh yes, and the initiation. I can just feel the pain I had in my joints now when I think of it. Oh, and can't you just see those old members doing the 'lame duck ' down the hall after they had initiated us? We certainly surprised them when we turned the tables. " I surely do remember our Thanksgiving party at the Bever House, the Christmas party at Jenkins Apartments. The interesting programs and plays were always attractive to me.

" ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 68 ---------- Okanogan, Wash., April 31, 1921. MY DEAR DOROTHY: As I sit at my desk- the children gone for the day - memories of last year's student life flash before me. Just one year ago today, I remember, the Thespians were so busy getting out posters for the four plays, " Weeping Wives," " Dust of the Road," " Open Gates " and " The Bishop's Candlesticks." Mr. Hoppe was so wonderfully patient with us and without him our success would have been impossible. How I wish you could drop in on us some evening and see our dear little birds' nest of a cottage. We're very careful to see that there is enough fuel in for the evening, curtains are drawn after sunset, and never answer the door after dark. Not afraid to stay alone or afraid in the dark--you understand--but we are of a too convivial nature to enjoy the songs of the night birds and tree toads. Both of us are strong believers in dreams - and such horrid ones are generally the result. O, that makes me think of the play " Unsuppressed Desires " we gave last year. Mae Andersen, Will Beardsley and Loraine Winters were the cast, were they not? Sixty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 69 ---------- Glancing to the back of the room, my eyes fall on some Pilgrim posters the children made in November. They remind me of the dainty little en-tertainment the November graduates presented us with. What a picturesque little group - every member in the Puritan costumes, sitting very prim, en-joying the Swedish reading, " Courtship of Miles Standish " by Pearl Nesson, and the quaint little songs by the quartette. Then they led us to the cafeteria to that real Thanksgiving dinner - as near like the original as could have been arranged. Remember the night we clashed victoriously with the Philos in debate? But after that animated little farce starring Helen Robertson, Tromp and Roe, we were friends all over again. Helen just came and wants me to go home so I will finish " The Thespian Biography " this evening. 8 P. M., SAME DAY This is my evening to keep the old fireplace glowing. Between firing-up times perhaps I can talk to you. Did the Normal have a Country Fair this year? Wasn't our booth pretty last year? Those days we spent making wisteria and cherry blossoms-- makes me tired yet. Such a long debate we participated in over a booth and finally decided on a Japanese tea garden. The unique costumed little maidens toddling here and there serving the kneeling guests to tea; tinkling Japanese music, and the heavy odor of incense added to its bizarre-like atmosphere. Will you ever forget the night we entertained the two basketball teams the night we played the C. P. S.? How dexteriously Archie Erickson ex-changed Dr. Nash's and Sam Carver's dish of jello when it was discovered that Gretchen had accidentally added salt to some of the whipped cream in place of sugar. Our worries were few compared to our good times and accomplish-ments. It is growing late and our fuel is low, so I must bring these dreams to a close. I think it's all right to dream if we don't make dreams our master, don't you? Always yours, - BEVERLY P. S. - Give all Thespians my best greetings. Once a Thespian, always a Thespian.

All the world is filled with charm and beauty That the eyes of art alone can see, And the club that knows about this beauty Is the Studio Art Club - We! " Why, hello Amy! Where in the wide world have you been keeping yourself this past year? How is Harold and the baby? Yes, I graduated last year, too. I couldn't get a man, so I got a teacher's diploma. " Things have been in such a whirl lately. I have been on the go con- stantly. But the most weird thing of all happened last Saturday night when a bunch of us girls went over to that old woman who tells fortunes by crystal gazing. You remember her, don't you? She lives out near Elizabeth Park. Well, anyhow she picked out Julia, Ethol and me and then she just let out a regular blizzard. Seventy ~E~ ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 71 ---------- She began by saying that we all had a great deal in common. She said that she saw a many-colored band around us. Of course none of us believes it, but it did make us think of our club days. She sort of waved her hands in the air and made me, at least, think that she was painting a picture. This queer woman then said in her sepulchral voice, 'Spirits of you who sit in this circle, I see in the past that you have worked out in black and white that which will bring to you fame and admiration. You have taken pure carbon and upon white parchment you have made much beauty of line. You have each worked out your own life's thoroughfare. One shall travel on country roads, another shall choose the smooth lake, while another shall journey forth upon a wild sea of dark surroundings.' " I didn't tell her, Amy, but you know those charcoal sketches that we made in Art Club last year, each represented something that she men-tioned. I don't believe that she knew what she was talking about, but isn't it queer? " Then she went on to say that beauty was an expression of the spirit. Ours had proved itself by delighting an audience of country folks, prize babies and even the renowned Jesse James at a country fair. That must have been the one the school gave for the Klipsun fund. You remember how we worked for hours at a time making hearts, cupids, baskets and everything else. " Yes, Amy, and that's what capped the climax! She told about the movie that we attended, and then she told how Helen had gone east of the mountains and had married that good looking man of hers, even though she had been offered the position of art instructor under Miss Druse. " Now, I really don't see how that woman knew so much and I really don't believe a word of it, it is so uncanny, but - ah, there's your car now! Do give my love to your mother. Good-bye!

Miss Crawford and Miss Woodard have been the sponsors for the last two years, and the club has prospered. There are thirty member now enrolled. During the winter the program consisted of studies of various nations. The people, their language and costumes, their literature and music were discussed. In addition there was a study of astronomy. Several charts were made of the most important constellations and the girls spent some Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 73 ---------- very interesting evenings " star-gazing." They studied the position of the stars and learned the legends connected with the names of the stars. The club enjoyed a Christmas party just before the vacation. A large number were present and took part in the merry-making. Several new members were initiated. Dainty refreshments concluded the party. Every-one agreed that there was not a dull moment during the affair. On February 19 the club held a Colonial party. George and Martha Washington, impersonated by Miss Sears and Miss Peronteau, received the guests. Nathaniel Green, Lafayette, Stark, Benjamin Franklin and many other famous Revolutionary gentlemen attended, each with his wife. Old time games and dances occupied the evening. Refreshments, in which cherries predominated, were served in the cafeteria. Just before Arbor Day the girls hiked to Flat Rock. They toasted marshmallows and practiced songs and yells until darkness forced them to take the home trail. Aletheia spent an evening at Dead Man's Point. There around the fire the girls told Indian legends and discussed Indian music. Although marsh-mallows were never an article of Indian diet, the girls did not fail io appreciate them. At the following meeting the girls played a number of Indian records on the Victrola. On Arbor Day the Aletheian colors were conspicuous. The grey and rose streamers floated in the air, carried by white clad girls. In addition to the rose bush already flourishing, the girls planted an ivy vine on the western side of the Training School. The little plant seemed to imbibe the spirit of the songs and yells of that day, for it is growing vigorously. The year has been a fine one for the club, unsurpassed by any in the past. The future seems bright with promises of success for Aletheia.

Late flowers bloomed in the garden and an air of peace and quiet seemed to pervade the place. A recitation was in progress and the other children were so busily engaged at their desks that it was possible for me to enter unnoticed and remain an undiscovered but greatly interested visitor. This simple but pleasant school room was a delightful place in which to linger. It was an industrious and happy school, made so by a teacher with the true rural spirit, who after dismissing her school gave me a most cordial welcome, expressing regret that she had not found me out sooner. Her eyes lighted with joy when I mentioned B. S. N. S. " Oh, you are an old Bellingham student! Then of course you know Mr. Heckmann and Mr. Coughlin, our Rural Life Club sponsors. I am very much indebted to them for the ideas which you have approved so highly in my work this afternoon. We have a very active P.-T. A. Its members have been no end of help to me, and it is the ideal P.-T. A. which Mr. Heckmann so enthusiastically advocated." Then in a reminiscent mood I told her of some of the good times I had with the Rural Lifers back in 1920: "At a Valentine party Mr. Coughlin told us of a vision he had of an ideal community. I have not seen all of your community, but if it corresponds to your school his dream is realized." She modestly acknowledged my praise by saying, "A true product of the rural course of dear old B. S. N. S. could not do less, but infinitely more." We chatted for some time, recalling many delightful experiences in the Rural Life Club. I related the events of our first meeting at Whatcom Falls: the " ripping" game of baseball, the appetizing eats, the cheerful chat of our sponsors and last but not least the toasting of marshmallows over a big bonfire while we roused the timid woodfolk with our hearty singing. " You enjoyed the Rural Life conferences?" I continued, " So did I. I think the Rural Lifers appreciated the situation presented by Mrs. Preston more keenly than others because our hearts were in it. Vividly she re-called to mind various sojourns in the country schools and the needs which existed then as they do now - needs of community centers and more intelli-gent living upon the farm. After her address we gathered in the big gym and romped hilariously like little children." Reluctantly I bade the little teacher farewell and went on my way rejoicing at her success and hoping the other Rural Lifers were duplicating her spirit and as successfully realizing the hopes of their Alma Mater. - ETHEL MCCLELLAN Seventy-five ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [76] ---------- 0 0 cu ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 77 ---------- Gloyral IGlub OFFICERS FIRST QUARTER Pearl Ingalls ................

Reporter There is no part or group in the Student Body of Bellingham State Normal School so small, so remote or far removed from the activities of the school but what has come in contact with the Choral Club. This club is the melting pot of all the other social and literary organizations of the school. Students have long recognized the potential value of the club, as is proved by our list of seventy active members. The club is one of the oldest in school. It was started about 1904 by a few lovers of music, for the sole purpose of enjoying an hour of community singing. It has now become a regular part of the school program, meeting at the 1 o'clock hour every Tuesday. Since music (as one author states) is one of the four fundamental elements of life -the purpose of the club is to learn to appreciate and reproduce the better type of music suited to a girls' chorus in any com-munity. The early efforts of the club this year resulted in rendering several selections for the student assembly. The latter part of the year was spent in preparing an operetta, " The Feast of the Little Lanterns," which was given in April. This proved to be the debut of our most talented members. Sometimes our individual precepts have been rather indefinite, our interest has sometimes shifted to other scenes. But through the persistent labors of our director, Mrs. Thatcher, we have in the end reached our goal. But as a whole, our climb has been so interesting that few members have dropped out prematurely. But this club is not all work. We have enjoyed many social evenings and look forward to many more next year. Wise is she who joins. - GRACE G. GREEN Seventy-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 78 ---------- . E. Mar (lub At the beginning of the first quarter (1919) eight had entered the newly organized course in physical education. These eight met one day in the gymnasium and decided informally to organize a club, planning our first good time-a hike to Chuckanut. This was followed by an early morning breakfast up Sunset Trail. Some weeks later a strictly gymnastic dinner was cooked and served in the Domestic Science rooms. It was Hallowe'en Eve as I remember, and the only goblins were those partaking in the delicious eats. Just before Christmas we were good as we could be and were rewarded with a mock track meet given by Misses Moffat and Williams. " Pep" and skill were not lacking. The elephant's miraculous stunts at the circus will long be remembered with jovial laughter. Another breakfast! This time at Initial Rock. Here as before the coffee deserves honorable mention. It was just like mother used to make before she learned how to cook. Hurrah! twelve more have realized the great value and need of physi-cal education and have entered the course with us. We hope to see many more take up the work with the realization that health is necessary for the attainment of every worthy ambition and achievement. May they go forth to teach this, the first work of the school, with whole-hearted interest and enthusiasm. Seventy-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 79 ---------- ~ee~x0 Few groups without regular officers or time of meeting have so per-sistently pursued their purpose as have the Young Housekeepers. The dean, Miss Woodard, has for the past few years interested herself in the welfare of the many girls who do their own housekeeping, and at intervals has called them together for discussion, consultation and mutual help. During this year there were not many gatherings, but reports of those few were scattered broadcast. Among the items in a certain news-paper were some quite unbelievable stories about what the Normal girls were doing to the H. C. of L. After musical selections, the main points of interest at the meetings were definite study of the food value in calories of our most common foods; balanced rations from the standpoint of the main elements in them; their cost, and labor-saving devices. Different houses tried to see which would excel in offering the best menu for a reasonable price. These gatherings were very profitable, and if the Young Housekeepers did not serve refreshments at their meetings they at least had much " food for thought." Seventy-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 80 ---------- ,uNsines 6irl E1ague The Business Girls' League, an organization of approximately seventy members, was founded by Miss Exean Woodard, Dean of Women, for the purpose of co-operating with the working girls and meeting the difficulties arising in their several lines of employment. The one big social feature of the year was the Business Girls' banquet, which was given in the Normal Cafeteria. The hall was artistically hung with clinging ivy and draperies in the league colors of blue and white. Miss Estelle Burnside acted as toastmistress, while the toasts were given by the following honorable members: Mrs. Samuel Gompers (Estelle Burn-side), Mrs. Herbert Hoover (Hilda M.

Not a happier group could be imagined than those who answered the call issued at the beginning of the second quarter. Upon being organized the club planned its first event. It might prop-erly be called a rush down to Camp Perfection. No one could make any of the members who were there admit that they did not have the time of their lives, though it is rumored that the bill of fare was limited to catsup, cookies, buns and pickles. The club's second affair of the quarter was a banquet and theater party. Everyone who was there declared that they had a good time.

Our many distinguished members include our worthy officers, musi-cians (even some who could actually run the phonograph!), artists, vocalists (some voices " sound like thunder," others merely " shriek "!), but we truly have some excellent singers, aesthetic dancers, readers (famous as " story tellers "!), and - but we can't begin to enumerate our talents! Among our fondest memories we count our spreads, hikes, slumber parties, dancing parties (including second-floor events!), " others," and theater parties. The " Red Kimona," too, is now a memory and we have serpentined our welcome to Miss Mead, who has come to us replacing Miss Woodard. The dearest memory of all will be of our house mother, Mrs. Powell. We hope that the inhabitants of the new Edens Hall will have her with them to brighten their days. This is the biggest and best we can wish for them. Eighty-eight - AGATHA FOLEY ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 89 ---------- Gatyalir Girls Tlub OFFICERS Regina Frank ... . . . . . . . . .... . .

Belle Sperry, Faculty Sponsor The activities of the Y. W. C. A. began with the meeting of trains to welcome new girls. On Thursday afternoon, September 11, the first " get together " meet-ing was held in the Y. W. C. A. room. The first devotional meeting was held the following Sunday afternoon. Miss Sperry, who had returned from a year's vacation, brought the message. The social events of the year began with the annual Y. W. reception to the whole school Fri-day evening, September 26. Many acquaintances Ninety ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 91 ---------- DES MOINES DELEGAIES were formed which have ripened into friendships during the year. Punch and wafers were served. After the organization of the cabinet the work moved along rapidly. The chairman of the Bible Study Committee soon had classes organized in the largest rooming houses on the hill. About two hundred fifty have been enrolled in these classes. The Y. W. C. A. has been serving the school in a very practical way through their management of the cafeteria. Miss Brown, the Northwest Field Secretary, visited in early November to interest us in the great Student Volunteer Convention held in Des Moines, Iowa, during the Christmas vacation. We are proud to think that our Student Body, Faculty and Alumni with the assistance of the Y. W. made it possible to send our full quota of six delegates to this convention. The annual Bible Institute was held January 15 to 18. Mrs. Campbell, of Seattle, came again to be our speaker. This, as in other years, was a time of great inspiration. The Association has been especially blessed by the visits of mission-aries this year. First, Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Clark brought us a message of opportunity from India. Next, Rev. Stanley Soltau made us feel the heroism and the wonderful faith of the Koreans. Miss Cable and the Misses French brought us greetings from two of our own students, Lydia Berthold and Nina Gemmell, in China. These glimpses into the foreign field broadened our vision of Christian service. Ninety-one ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 92 ---------- 14titu lahattatt At the suggestion of Dr. Miller there was formed at the beginning of the school year an organization termed by outsiders as " The Men's Auxil-iary." Its membership included all of the men of the school, both faculty and student, and its aim was to promote clean, wholesome fellowship among the men students and to otherwise foster a spirit of friendliness and co-operation among its members. Several genuine " stag " socials were held during the year, which were judged by all concerned to be the greatest gloom chasers in history. 0519 ooIterr After Christmas some of the young men who had been prominent in student activities met and formed " The Boosters." Though social in nature, this club was formed along an entirely different line from any then existing in the Normal School. The object of the club is to foster good spirit among the students as a whole and between the organizations of the school. It aims to promote an interest in the Normal among the high school students, many of whom do not understand the work of this school either because it has not been brought to their attention, or because they are indifferent. Hail to B. S. N. S.! May the future bring in greater quantities what the past has not been generous with - men. Ninety-two S~g~I ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 93 ---------- irainin g r! ol HE physical and chemical laboratories are in the north wing of the building; but in the south wing the Normal has a different sort of a laboratory, one where the pedagogy and psychology of the Seniors are tested out. Test tubes and retorts of chemical lab-oratories give no account of experi- ments carried on in them; but the children of the Training School bear a permanent impression and can give an account of the experi-ments which the Seniors have been conducting with them for subjects. 'With this in mind, late in April, the children of the Training School were asked to write what things they had done during the year, which they considered the GERTRUDE Supt. most interesting with a reason for EARInT Tr. Dept. the answer. The answers of these questions are a measure of the success of the experiments, which have been performed in the Training School this year. The first grade children cover a greater diversity of impressions in their reports than any other class. They tell about work for various holidays beginning with Hallowe'en. They like to play stories because they are so " inter-sting." They go to the library to see the pictures and read the Peter Rabbit books. They make a wigwam and Indian life groups on the sand-table, an Eskimo scene and a cotton field with negro workers. They also mention nearly every activity of their school day, including moving pictures, lunch room, " where we learn to act nice," and "'Semblies." In the second grade we get the first idea of studying a thing because "It's good for me." The children are interested in the May-pole dance they are learning, in the sand table and in their songs. The third grade worked out several projects in history which remain in their memories, among them the Viking Boat, an Egyptian House and a Pioneer Wagon. The fourth class tell of their history projects as making a Greek temple; their excursoin as when they studied a bay; their garden project and number work which grew out of that. They also tell about the costume designing in drawing. The fifth and sixth grades enjoy particularly their various dramatiza-tions. They mention some history dramatization and explain how this makes their work more interesting. They tell how the dramatization in English makes them more careful in punctuation, capitalization and also Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 94 ---------- that it helps them " to speak better." Much interest is shown in their Book of Myths of Bellingham, and the magazines for the hospitals. The reasons given by the Junior High School pupils for their work are more clearly defined. Many of them speak of some project in English and say that they gained a greater appreciation for literature and sometimes the moral is mentioned. The benefits gained in punctuation, in the use of verbs, in the mechanics of writing and in general information are all given as reasons why they approve English project. The children see the advantage of the superiority of the Senior plans as well as the Senior, herself. One teacher devised the scheme for three of the class to act as judges to decide whether tolics were satisfactorily handled. The 7-A pupil who reports this says, " This made us study our lessons more thoroughly." Manual training has interested the boys because of the articles of furniture they were able to make for their homes. One class measured and calculated the cost of the excavation for the new dormi-tory. The pupils also tell what they gained from excursions made early in the year when studying types of industry. These reports from the children prove that the Seniors have put their pedagogy and psychology into practice; and have show themselves able to handle the very latest frills in education in such a way as to be both inter-esting and beneficial to the children. TRAINING SCHOOL ATHLETICS The boys' basketball was not as successful this year as in the past. This was largely due to insufficient practice, as the boys were deprived of practice periods to a large extent. Nevertheless they worked hard and faithfully, practicing whenever they could. Out of a total of eight games three were won. The games won were against Ferndale, Scout Troop 4 and Roeder. A good showing was made against the large heavy team from Lowell and in the last game with Franklin the score was only 12 to 13 at the close of the game. The boys were coached by Arthur E. Bowsher. On April 2bth the boys were presented their letters. Those earning letters were Lester White, Vance Radvaney, forwards; Claude Snitzler, center; Arnold Wastrom, Montford Alsop, guards; Weston Hayes and Elmer Peterson, substitutes. The girls' team won two games out of three played. These were from Franklin. The game lost was with Lowell. After this game the Training School girls served refreshments to the two teams which were enjoyed by all. Ninety-four ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 95 ---------- THE FEAST OF THE LITTLE LANTERNS Entertainments THE PRODIGAL SON The Oratorio Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, gave the oratorio " The Prodigal Son" at the Normal auditorium, Friday evening, February 13th. At Liberty Hall Sunday evening the oratorio was repeated to a very large and appreciative audience. There were several very beautiful solos, duets and quartets given by Mrs. G. W. Nash, soprano; Mrs. H. W. Spratley, contralto; Mr. Oscar Shaw, tenor, and Mr. C. B. Harter, bass. The accompanists were Miss Maud Williams and Miss Edith Kesler. The whole oratorio was beautifully rendered and reflected much credit on the director. THE FEAST OF THE LITTLE LANTERNS Under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, the Choral Club gave one of the most artistically beautiful programs of the whole year when they presented " The Feast of the Little Lanterns," a Chinese operetta by Paul Bliss, Friday evening, April 23. The stage was artistically decorated with colored lanterns and bright flowers. The chorus and cast, dressed in their gayly colored costumes, gave us many beautiful songs and dances. The Oriental atmosphere of the operetta carried the entire audience to the distant land of China where they all spent a most delightful evening. The soloists were Dora Agee, Irene Stewart, Anaide Myers, Ethel Burk-land, Helen Jones, solo dancer; Elwood Davis, Ira Loree and Archie Erick-son. THE NORMAL QUARTET The mixed quartet, consisting of Pearl Ingalls, soprano; Grace Thatcher, alto; Elwyn Bugge, tenor, and Mr. M. B. Thatcher, bass, who substituted for Guy Stickney during his absence, have given some pleasing entertainments during the year. They went to Lawrence and other places near here, giving an evening's program in each place. Their program consisted of quartet numbers, duets, solos and violin music by Mr. Bugge. Victoria Huston went with them as reader and Edith Kesler as piano soloist. The quartet was organized and directed by Mrs. Thatcher, whose efforts helped to make. the organization a distinct success.

A boy delivers a duck which must be paid for and Susan, Mrs. Corbett's niece, meets the difficulty. Mr. Guild-ford, a suitor of Susan, is expected for dinner, thus the added delicacy. The dinner proves to be a success and Susan and Guildford steal quietly away and return blushing and happy, as they have become engaged. But in the midst of the rejoicing Mrs. Guildford, a very cold and dignified per-son, is ushered in and upsets the happy plans because she insinuates that Susan is already the third girl to whom Ripley had been engaged. Mrs. Corbett remains a staunch friend to Ripley Guildford through all the trouble and tries to make Susan see her mistake in dismissing Ripley. Mr. Corbett, who has won considerable fame in his brave deeds in South Africa, tries to enlist in the present war, but at first is refused because of his age, but finally he is accepted. Hobbs also enlists and is likewise accepted. Ripley and Susan's love affair is mended, due to the Ripley's assertion that the girl in question is happily married. And thus the difficulty is solved. Financial straits are likewise improved and all the characters are left in a contented frame of mind. ?Eurning of @Cnr-Art $jalla The members of Mr. Hoppe's expression class put on a series of four one-act plays, on the evening of February 24th. The funds received were turned into the fund for financing the Klipsun. Beginning with "A Little Fowl Play " and continuing through " Come Michaelmas," "Indian Sum-mer " to the last, " The Violin Maker," the appreciative audience enjoyed every minute.

The first part of the evening was spent in the auditorium with " stunts" pulled off by the various occupants of the different houses on the hill. After the stunts they very quietly adjourned down the banisters to the big gymnasium, where they all joined in games and contests which lasted until someone called " Eats! " With a great amount of hesitation they rushed to the " eats " booth where ice cream and wafers were dealt out without even the asking. After this cool reception they all went home, well pleased with " Normal society." BELLINGHAM, WASH., DEC. 16, 1919. - Last evening the " minority" of the Bellingham Normal banqueted and enjoyed their own society to the utmost. Along with their other ingredients they swallowed speeches, impromptu and otherwise, toasts, songs and yells - until all wished for more elasticity to the membrane of some parts of their anatomy. BELLINGHAM, WASH., FEB. 7, 1920. - Last night at the Normal occurred one of the most interesting events in the history of Bellingham. This was a genuine Country Fair, staged by the students of the school. After an intensely interesting comedy and vocal solos in the auditorium, the entrance to the grounds were thrown open - only to be filled by the rush of Bellingham's population. Here they were entertained with events ranging from grand opera to dog show. Some of the special features were vaudeville, fortune telling, stock shows, rogues' gallery, baby contest and eats. Never in the life of the big gym has the moon witnessed such an evening of co-operated pep and whole-hearted enjoyment as that of last night. BELLINGHAM, WASH., MARCH 6, 1920.- Friday evening, March 5, the men of the Normal enjoyed themselves at a smoker held in the small gym. Numerous forms of entertainment were indulged in, such as boxing, wrestling, racing and horizontal and parallel bar exhibitions. Following this violent exercise they were refreshed with cider and doughnuts. BELLINGHAM, WASH., APRIL 17, 1920.-- One of the events of the year at the Bellingham Normal that depends upon the weather-cock is the annual Chuckanut Marathon which was celebrated by the students on Saturday, April 17, 1920. One Hundred ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [101] ---------- :v IN ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 102 ---------- Among (Our Thtiters THEO. KARLE Theo. Karle, the great American tenor, gave us one of the treats of the season when he appeared at the Normal, October 13. His mastery of vocal technique, diction and musicianship give him equipment enabling him to present artistically the widest range of song literature. His voice mastery was admirably displayed in the Beethoven aria, " My Heart Is Sore." But the beauty and tenderness displayed in the shorter, simpler songs won the sincerest applause. CAROLINA LAZZARI Of all the musical programs which we were privileged to attend none was more enjoyed than the concert given by Carolina Lazzari, contralto. Her wide range, rich full tones and charming personality help make her one of the few great artists of today. MRS. MAUD E. WILLIS Mrs. Willis gave us an interesting program of plays in our auditorium November 28. She is called "an interpreter of plays" and justified the title in her interpretation of " The Witching Hour," the play of Augustus Thomas. Mrs. Willis is a woman of charming presence and a clear, pleasant voice, which won much applause from her audience. DR. ANNA REED Dr. Anna Reed, who came to us from Washington, D. C., where she is director of the junior division of Employment Service. She gave us a series of very interesting lectures. Dr. Reed showed herself to be a woman of rare personality, a very forceful as well as entertaining lecturer. TOM SKEYHILL Tom Skeyhill, an Australian war poet, speaker and soldier, appeared as the third number of our lecture course. As a speaker too much can not be said of his ability and after one has become used to the " English " in his voice, one sits spellbound or rocks with laughter as the case might be. He gave a lecture on "The Poetry of the War." LORADO TAFT On Monday evening, March 15, Lorado Taft, a prominent American sculptor, appeared at the Normal as the sixth number of our lecture course. He gave an illustrated lecture on " Rambles With the Boys in Burgundy." Many beautiful slides were shown, bringing out the art work on old cathe-drals, churches and monuments. Mr. Taft's lecture was very entertaining, and it was punctuated with bits of humor. FLONZALEY QUARTET The Flonzaley Quartet, often spoken of as the finest stringed quartet in existence, appeared here April 24 as the last number of our Lyceum Course. Their perfection of technic, remarkable blending of tone and musical attainments rank them first in artistic merit as an organization. One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 103 ---------- FIRST PRIZE STORY GEORGE STEPHENS IPSY stood in the middle of the road holding his broad straw hat in his hand, watching a horse and buggy disappear in a cloud of dust in the distance. Then he turned and climbed to the top of a high gate under the oaks by the roadside. Alone with his thoughts he sat with his freckled face buried in his hands, thinking of the work his guardian, Mr. Ross, had told him to do the next (cd The next day was the Fourth of July, and Mr. and Mrs. Ross had gone to town to stay a couple of days, leaving Gipsy in charge of the farm. He sat for some time listening to the hogs cracking acorns under the oaks, with now and then a satisfied grunt coming from them. The soft breeze blew his long red hair about his face. When the sun sank lower long shadows crept across the road and out in the meadow a lark sang its last song of the evening. Finally he was aware that tears were trickling down his face. Wiping them on the sleeve of his shirt he slipped hurriedly to the ground and followed a path to the grove by the spring. His homespun breeches dangled half way between his knees and bare feet as he walked along. He whistled to keep up his courage. When he came to the barnyard he was greeted by a friendly whinny from an old white mare that stood under a sagging cow shed. Gipsy had traded a bushel of small Irish potatoes and a gallon of molasses to a band of gypsies who had been passing through the country the fall before, for that old white mare. He was known as Gipsy ever since by the neighbor-hood boys. For the first time he lead the mare into the barn, for Mr. Ross had forbidden him to bring her there. He was to keep her under the cow shed and feed her on fodder. The protruding hip bones of the mare showed conclusively that fodder was not a very substantial food. Johnny Lucey, a neighbor boy, said " She looked more like a hat rack than a horse," and so saying he walked up and hung his hat on her hip bone where it hung until Gipsy, red with anger, grabbed it and threw it over the fence into the corn field. Gipsy led the mare right into a box stall, then brought a heaping bucket of oats and dumped them into the feed box. The mare stuck her nose into the oats, and lifting her head she looked at him thoughtfully. Then the boy climbed into the hay loft and filled the manger with hay. Jumping One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 104 ---------- down he went to the house and after glancing hastily around to see that everything was all right, he returned to the barn, patted the mare gently on the nose and climbed to the hay loft for the night. He lay awake for some time on the new mown hay and watched the full yellow moon climb into the sky. It reminded him of another night a long, long time ago when he lay awake on a little white bed near a window, while his mother walked the floor nervously. Finally three gun shots echoed in quick succession down the mountain side and a few minutes later his father plunged into the room, holding his hand to his bleeding heart. Next day he died and a few weeks later his mother died of a broken heart. The day had come for him to leave the mountains. When he was going around the last bend down the road he looked back at the large tree which he knew sheltered the graves of his mother and father. Now as he lay on the hay watching the moon he saw two little stars close together, twinkling. " One is mother and one is father," he whispered and dozed off to sleep. He arose early next morning and going to the smoke house he ate a hastily prepared breakfast of cold corn bread and milk. He looked wist-fully at the house where he knew there were lots of honey and good things to eat, but Mrs. Ross had taken what she wanted him to eat to the smoke house near the spring and had told him not to enter the house. After milking the cow he turned the mare into the large pasture among the blue grass and clover, took his hoe and started for the corn field on the hot hillside back of the house where 'Mr. Ross had told him to work. He hacked away at the tall weeds along a row of corn down to the other end of the field, then back. The sun was boiling hot and he felt the sweat trickling down his back. He sat down in the shade of a mulberry tree and watched a large chicken hawk go sailing lazily by toward the wood where it lighted on a dead snag. Finally the boy heard his name called. Getting upon a stump he saw Johnny Lucey and Skinny Fuller coming up the hill; each boy carried a fishing pole over his shoulder. " Whoope Oh, Gipsy," came the cry. Gipsy's laziness instantly disappeared and he ran down the hill to meet them. " Come on Gipsy," said Johnny. " Let's go fishing." " Oh, I reckon I can't nohow," drawled Gipsy. " Oh, yes ye can. Jest ye come ahead, an me an Skinny will hep ye all hoe corn tomorrow, an old man Ross won't know it nohow." After fifteen or twenty minutes' argument the boys persuaded Gipsy to go with them. Arriving at the turnpike Gipsy discovered he had no fish-hook. " Oh, take a pin," suggested Skinny. They searched their clothing but could not find a pin. " Oh, gee! I ain't goin' if I can't fish," exclaimed Gipsy. Suddenly a horse and buggy and two girls appeared from a bend down the road. "I have a scheme," said Johnny, tossing his fish pole to Gipsy, " jest ye watch your Uncle Jake," and he proceeded down the road walking lamely. Soon the horse and buggy drew up and the elder girl inquired why the boy was limping. One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 105 ---------- Oh, I jest stuck a splinter in the bottom of my foot and I ain't got airy a pin to pick it out. The girl searched in her waist for a pin, then climbed to the ground with a sympathetic look. She handed the pin to Skinny who passed it to Johnny; she motioned for the boy to come nearer so she might help him. Suddenly the boys darted away down the road kicking up a cloud of dust as they went. The girls looked after th'em in surprise. The boys climbed a rail fence and struck out across a field toward the creek. " Oh, let's go wadin'! " said Skinny, " maybe we can find some soft-shell turtles over by the sand bar." " Let's do! " exclaimed Johnny. Gipsy followed willingly as they ran splashing down the shallow stream. At last they came to a deep hole by the cliff, sheltered by the dense foliage of the trees. Skinny ran out in the field and dug some worms with a stick. Then he and Johnny divided their lines with Gipsy, who tied the pin, which he had bent in the shape of a hook, to the string. After several hours of fishing, which netted Skinny one perch, Johnny two and Gipsy one sucker, they showed signs of discontent. Gipsy yawned and stretched then " accidently," on purpose, knocked the can of bait into the water. Skinny jumped to his feet and threw his perch after the can. " Go to thunder, bait and fish; come on, fellers, let's go down to old Mr. Brown's place and steal some muskmelons." " It ain't right to steal," returned Gipsy, quietly. " Oh, who's askin' ye to steal," demanded Johnny, " Jest ye watch your Uncle Jake." The boys crept cautiously down the creek toward the Brown farm, taking the lines from their poles as they went. Climbing the picket fence to the garden they sneaked along behind some blroom corn toward the muskmelon patch, whose vines they could see stretched over the ground with the much coveted fruit on them. As Skinny got hold of a big yellow one ready to snap it from the vine, they heard a voice nearby: " Well, well! boys, so you have come to call on an old man." Glancing around they saw an old man walking with a cane, emerge from the broom corn patch, his soft blue eyes smiling with friendliness. "I am so glad you have come," continued the old man, " very few people call on us now days and you must come right along over to the house. I know Mrs. Brown will be just as glad to see you as I am." Johnny looked at Skinny with almost a lump in his throat. "Just ye wait, Mr. Skin," he threatened in a loud whisper, "just ye wait. I'll fix ye, getting us to come here and get caught." " Let's run," advised Skinny. The old man had started for the house, chuckling to himself. He motioned for the boys to follow. Gipsy started after him, whispering back, " Come on, fellers, don't be afraid of an old man. Come ahead, Johnny, and tell him about your Uncle Jake." .Johnny and Skinny followed shyly. They found that Mrs. Brown was a little bundle of good nature who smiled and looked over her spectacles One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 106 ---------- at them. She seemed to take special interest in Gipsy and eyed his long baggy breeches with sympathy. She invited the boys to the front porch which was shaded by low spreading branches of a locust tree. Old Glory waved from an old flag pole and cast its shadow on the steps of the porch. They sat in some home made rockers with deep cushions in them. Mr. Brown sat opposite Gipsy and began telling them a story of his boyhood days. They could hear Mrs. Brown humming a hymn as she walked quietly about her work in the kitchen. After an interval she appeared at the door and announced dinner. The boys looked at each other sheepishly as they followed the two kind old people into the house. The table was spread with a snowy white cover and set for five. Gipsy was to sit between Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Johnny and Skinny on the opposite side. First Mrs. Brown brought out a large platter of fried chicken; then mashed potatoes, green peas, green onions, radishes and last of all muskmelons. The boys looked at each other shyly and as Johnny said afterwards, they thought the dreaded moment had arrived, but Mr. Brown's look was as indifferent as his voice and not a word was said or hinted at about stealing muskmelons. After dinner Mr. Brown took the boys through the lower part of the garden where he had planted some watermelons and gourds. Some of the gourds had vined up a big oak tree and hung down as if they had been placed there with care. Skinny was sent to the barn after a sack which Mr. Brown filled with muskmelons and small watermelons. Finally the boys departed for home, promising to call again soon. They lugged the sack up Clover Hill. Then they sat down to rest in the shade of a sycamore tree. For some time they remained silent, then Johnny began to cry. Skinny said nothing but swallowed several times and looked away at the blue mountains. A flock of noisy little birds flew by. Gipsy got to his feet and stammered out: " Oh, shoot, fellers, 'taint goin' to do no good nohow! " After talking over what they should do, they hid the melons in a fence corner among some goldenrod. Gipsy said good-bye to the boys and walked up the hill toward home. Johnny and Skinny went by a short cut through the woods. When Gipsy came to a moss covered log he sat down and soon he began to cry. He finally lay down among the tall grass and drifted leaves, looked up through the branches of the tall trees at the white drifting clouds and murmuring several times, "Oh, if she was only my mother! " Taking up his way again he came to the top of a hill where he could look down upon the Ross farm in the valley. The hush of the summer's evening settled down upon the valley. He could see several white chickens walking slowly toward the hencoop to roost, the tinkle of a cowbell echoed from the clover field and the rattle of a wagon came from down the turn-pike. He loped down the hill at an easy gait, and after milking the cow went to the clover field, climbed to the top of the rail fence and called to his old white mare. He whistled several times, then he got down and walked along the fence to a clump of blackberry bushes. He called again. After an interval a full moon appeared from behind old Thunder Mountain, One Hundred Six ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 107 ---------- flashing its clear rays out over the valley, revealing a white object stretched out on the ground at a little distance from him. Gipsy smiled and whis-pered, " Sleeping." He crept slowly up but the mare did not move as he approached. In surprise he caught her mane and lifted her head, but it fell back heavily and a pair of white glassy eyes stared up toward the sky. An hour later when Mr. Brown and Judge Fields came to the Ross farm looking for Gipsy they found him sitting on a fence corner crying. When Gipsy saw them coming he howled louder than ever and pointed out to the mare and mumbled out between sobs, " She's dead, she's dead." The two men walked over to the mare. Gipsy heard them say that she had eaten too much. Mr. Brown walked back to Gipsy, picked him up and carried him to the road where he and the Judge had left the horse and buggy. That night in a little room with white walls and blue ceiling Gipsy lay awake listening to Mr. Brown and Judge Fields talking out in the sitting room. Finally he heard them make arrangements for him to stay with Mr. Brown. Gipsy cried - then he got out of bed and walked to the window and gazed out into the moonlit night. Way up toward the moon two tiny stars twinkled brightly, " Mother and father are happy, too," he whispered as he tiptoed back to bed. 3 wlatd AN INCIDENT THE GEORGE STEPHENS weeks had grown into months and the months into twenty years since the ill-fated ship ran on a sunken reef near the South Sea Islands. The only survivor, a tall, handsome Englishman, a perfect specimen of manhood, had at first looked upon his isolated life with indif-ference. Taking advantage of the wreckage, he built a rude but comfortable hut in a grove of tall palm trees at one end of the largest islands near where he had been washed ashore the day of the disaster. His health wore slowly away with the years and at the end of the nineteenth year he could no longer concentrate his mind upon his flock of tame tropical birds nor could he hunt cocoanuts and dates for any length of time without a sudden wild dash along the white, sandy beach in the boiling surf murmuring and screeching to himself. Occasionally a ship appeared far away on the horizon. The days came and went much the same. Now and then the solitude was broken by the shrill cry of a large parrot, or the deep, heavy breathing of the sea, or the wind as it moaned sadly through the palms to remind the man that he was alone. One night, the full, yellow moon rose lazily above the quiet blue sea. The man, with wild, hollow eyes sat on a little grassy knoll watching the approach of a large steamer. Now and then a faint yellow light gleamed from the ship. The man arose suddenly and followed a dim path down One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 108 ---------- the cliffs to the beach. He walked slowly along until he came to a large flat rock. He knelt and examined the rock carefully. He ran his long bony fingers through his matted hair. The name " Ellen " was carved on the rock, but was badly worn by the waves. He arose, his half-starved body shaking with hunger, and whispering to himself he stretched his long bony arms toward the moon. A big red and green parrot flew to his shoulder and cried out shrilly, " Ellen, Ellen, Ellen." The man slowly regained his mind. His whole past life flashed before him. He made a few wild leaps up the cliff to his hut. Grabbing some coals of fire, he ran to the edge of the cliff and with the aid of the tall, dry grass soon had a small blaze started. The ship was now passing nearby and faint sounds of music drifted in with the hot sea breeze. The man's mind left him as suddenly as it had returned and when the fire took a sudden leap upward, he jumped upon it and trampled it out with his bare feet. Then he dashed wildly down the dim trail, along the beach in the wake of the boiling surf, screeching and waving his arms above him. His flock of tame parrots answered from the palm grove. Enu in 1920 SECOND PRIZE STORY PEARL STOUGHTON WELL, it's leap year," announced Ted Carewe. " Un," grunted Jeremiah Pettigrew from the depths of a huge volume on " Organic Acids." To Jeremiah nothing was of any im-portance that did not pertain to chemistry. " Say, Jerry, aren't you afraid for your scalp? " flung in Jack Wells. On occasions the boys undertook to teach Jeremiah a few of the experiences of Normal college life but in vain. He clung obstinately to his ferrocynides and bicarbonates until the attempts of his friends had descended to mere joking. " What say?" he asked, now looking up suddenly through his round tortoise-shell glasses. " Why, it's leap year, man," cried Ted. " Leap year? " asked Jeremiah regarding a diagram interestedly. " You bloomin' blockhead! Don't you know that during leap year the ladies may propose to the gents? You must beware! " chortled Phil Hardy. " Ladies propose! " ejaculated Jerry with a scandalized look. " Sure," said Phil, winking at Ted. " You want to look out. I heard Bess Holden say just recently that you had such a romantic nose, she thought she'd try for you." Jeremiah recalled the dashing, brilliant Bess and shuddered. During all his studious life he had above all things avoided girls, but now - " They - they don't really. You're just guying me - " he wavered. " Indeed not," Jack assured him solemnly. " It's gospel truth. You One Hundred Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 109 ---------- see you've never gone after the girls so they're going after you. I noticed Blanche Wilson watching you in class this morning. Now she's not a bad sort -" "Say, clear out of here. I've got to get this formula straight, right now! " he shouted in desperation. Contrary to all precedent the trio withdrew meekly. However, had Jeremiah's hearing been keen he might have heard the low murmuring that proceeded from Jack's room across the hall. "- - scare him stiff - girls'll never know - some joke on the old boy! I'll bet he'll beat it worse than ever! " " I say, let's get little Ann Mayo in ---- " came Phil's voice. " Nix," ordered Ted. The lecture next evening offered an opportunity for their nefarious scheme to be put in operation. " Say, Jerry, old man, will you do me a favor?" begged Phil in an undertone. " Um," grunted Jeremiah, not pausing in his note taking. " Harriet Franklin's here with her chum Blanche Wilson. Now you just see Blanche over to the hall -- come along with us you know, and I'll be your Aunt Isaac," coaxed the mischief maker. " Oh - I - - " began Jeremiah. " Thanks, old man. Awfully kind. I'll do something for you some day," broke in the rogue. "I say - I - " began Jerry again. " Sh - you're disturbing the speaker," whispered Ted as he admin-istered a sharp dig in his roommate's ribs. Jeremiah subsided, but his eyes, fixed on the speaker were terror-filled. Phil saw that Jeremiah had no chance for a private word before they joined the girls. Then he whispered, " Now with a little tact, you know, she can be kept from " Jeremiah strode along in silence beside the vivacious young lady. " Oh, Mr. Pettigrew, a penny for your thoughts," came Miss Wilson's insinuating tones. Jeremiah realized with a start that he was entirely alone with her. The others had dropped back. He stammered dismally. " I'll bet you were thinking about me," announced the young lady suddenly. What he said Jeremiah never knew. At all events it was entirely inadequate to the situation. " Isn't the moonlight romantic, Mr. Pettigrew? " she persisted. Jerry murmured something about never having noticed, " Doesn't the soft glow just make your heart quiver - " At this point Jeremiah lengthened his stride. He had noticed what had escaped his companion - the proximity of the hall steps. " Why, Mr. Pettigrew, how you walk! " she gasped. " Oh, yes- here we are - good night," he burst forth and with a nervous twitch of his hat he vanished, leaving Blanche overcome with One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 110 ---------- silent mirth. She was joined almost immediately by her co-conspirators and all three rocked with laughter. Poor Jeremiah did not rest well that night. His cheeks burned and quivers were running up and down his spine. What if he should meet her again? WVhat if -but here he fell asleep to dream of being pursued by a disheveled creature breathing smoke and flame. By afternoon of the next day he could think of other things for a half hour at a time. At last he betook himself to his beloved laboratory. Before long he was deep in an experiment - so deep that he did not observe the entrance of a small, thin, young lady who occupied the place next him. He was aroused by a quiet, persistent voice. "I beg your pardon, Mr. Pettigrew, but could you reach that bottle? Some one put it up high." Jeremiah started and turned a deep crimson. " Excuse me, Miss Smith," he murmured as he handed her the bottle. Julia Smith was a plain little woman devoted to organic chemistry and utterly guiltless of coquetry, but to Jeremiah she appeared to be a siren. He drew as far away from her as possible and stared blindly at his dish of bubbling grease. At length he gained control of himself sufficiently to reach for a tube of yellow stuff from the rack. " Mr. Pettigrew, will you " But she was interrupted by a loud sizzling and a cloud of smoke. Jeremiah's start had overturned a beaker into his dish of grease. Miss Smith's scream brought several people to the spot but Jeremiah had recovered his presence of mind and was wiping up the mess with a dilapidated towel. This procedure brought his right hand into view. " Oh! " cried Mliss Smith, " It's burned! " It was certainly burned and in spite of his protestations Jeremiah was sent to a doctor. The doctor pronounced the burn not serious and Jeremiah with an interesting bandage caught the car for home. Unable to write because of his burned hand Jeremiah found peace and quiet in his room. Just as life was becoming quite normal again Ted rushed in with the announcement that they both must attend a party at Morris Hall. In vain Jeremiah pleaded and rebelled; his roommate was obdurate and in the end he submitted. If ever there was a miserable man that man was Jeremiah Pettigrew as he entered the cosy living room at Morris Hall. Ted immediately found his way into the midst of a merry group and Jerry was left to his own devices. He found a quiet nook watching the young people before him and marveling at their fearlessness. At last his glance rested on a slim little miss in a fluffy white dress. She was standing not far from him watching the others with bright grey eyes and rosy parted lips. Jeremiah's gaze, however, was riveted on her hair. He had never seen anyone's hair so coppery in color and so curly. He felt a desire to catch one of the little rings that clustered around her face. As he watched, Ted approached the girl and with a laughing remark One Hundred Ten ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 111 ---------- drew her into the group before the fire. Jerry longed to join them but dared not. Some time later he was so near Ted and the red-haired miss that his roommate introduced him. "Ann Mayo, the name fits her," he thought. " Not half homely when he smiles," was Ann's mental comment. Jeremiah did not say much. That would have been impossible, but his eyes followed Ann wherever her bright head could be seen. It was a thoughtful Jerry that left Morris Hall that evening. He decided that after all leap year might not be such a bad affair. The next day as Jeremiah came down the library steps, reading as he walked, he became aware of someone just ahead of him. It was Ann Mayo. Flushing with embarrassment, he fell in step beside her, choking out a feeble " Good morning." Then he waited wondering what would she say. " crisp weather is the nicest for picnics." Jeremiah made an attempt to reply and drew a deep breath. Ann chatted with him from the library to the door of Morris Hall. When he left her Jeremiah felt that he had done a bold and hazardous deed. In this pleasing frame of mind he returned: home. When Ted came, he was overflowing with joy. There was to be a big concert in town tomorrow. Everyone would be going. He thought he'd ask - maybe Blanche Wilson - or, well - Ann Mayo. Suddenly a thought flashed into Jeremiah's mind. For a second he was too dazed by the idea to speak. Then with a burst of confidence he rushed to the telephone, leaving the exuberant Ted open-mouthed. Still boldly he gave the number of Morris Hall. While he waited for the answer all the terrors of his venture burst upon him, appalling him. He had just decided to hang up the receiver and flee when someone answered. Breath- lessly he asked for Ann Mayo. " Hello - hello - is this Miss Mayo? Yes - this is - well - yes - I am - that is -- I'm Jeremiah Pettigrew speaking. I - I heard - that is Ted - I mean I heard about the concert and I thought -- I wish - that is -- I hoped -- oh, well - will you go with me? Thanks - eight, then. All right. Good- bye." Trembling at his own audacity Jeremiah returned to his room. For the rest of the day he turned a deaf ear to the sallies of Ted and .Jack. Every time he thought of it he experienced a sinking sensation. He was so absorbed that he paid no heed when Ted came in growling because "Ann Mayo had other arrangements." He spent an unprecedented time getting ready the next evening and yet he never felt so awkward and unprepared as he did when he pre-sented himself at Morris Hall. Ann did not keep him waiting, and with an almost enjoyable excite-ment he strode along beside her. His face burned and his heart pounded. Ann chatted gaily on a hundred and one topics but one person cannot make a conversation. Ann found it so and after a time she, too, grew silent. To Jeremiah the silence was awful and he made one or two valiant attempts to entertain her. By the time they reached the theater Jeremiah One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 112 ---------- was watching one loose red curl and wondering how it would feel to be so short. Ann was stealing side glances at her companion, noting the firm mold of his chin and the dreamy light in the eyes behind the round glasses. The concert may have been a success, but neither Ann nor Jeremiah heard much of it. Each was considering the long silent walk home. It was as bad as they had feared. Ann walked along in silence and Jeremiah had not the courage to utter a word. The girls at Morris Hall looked very mysterious when Ann entered, but her preoccupied air gave them no excuse to unburden themselves. Jeremiah undertook to devote himself to his chemistry, but the beloved subject had lost its charm. He found himself seeing Ann's face on the page before him; the silvery ring of one bottle against another suggested her laugh; the glowing fluid in his test tube was just the color of her hair; the eddy and whirl of the ascending gases was like the wave of her hair. He even noticed little Miss Smith was just Ann's height. At last he went to the telephone and called her. With a vast amount of embarrassment he managed to make her understand that he would like to call. Could he have seen the half amused, half tender light in her grey eyes as she listened to his halting words! With great nervousness he dressed and fled from Ted's questions. As he neared Morris Hall his feet lagged. Once he paused and almost turned, but he overcame the impulse and ascended the hall steps. He rang the bell and was ushered into the hall by a wise looking little person who went after Ann. Jeremiah suffered tourtures before the girl appeared. Perhaps something of it was in his face - certainly Ann saw something there that made her very kind to the frightened young man. Jeremiah was, as ever, tongue-tied. He was quite content to sit and watch the curl of Ann's hair, the sparkle of her eyes. He felt no need of words. The girl fidgetted at his silence until the humor of it struck her, flashing a dimple into view in one cheek. " Do it again," he said involuntarily. " What?" she cried in amazement. " Oh - no - nothing," he stammered, a deep crimson flaming in his cheek. " I -- I must be going. He arose abruptly and departed forthwith, leaving Ann to laugh softly as she ascended the stairs. " Oh, Ann," cried Blanche Wilson, with a teasing inflection. " Oh, Ann," echoed several others, with much laughter. " What is it? " she asked quickly. " Oh - Ann - did - did you - oh - I shall die - " choked Blanche doubling with mirth. " Have you anything to say? If so, get it out of your system quickly," advised the girl coolly. The other girls joined in the laughter until weak and wet-eyed they leaned against the wall. " Did - did you propose to dear Professor Jeremiah? " giggled Blanche at last. " Not that I know of - why?" One Hundred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 113 ---------- Dear me! I must tell you the joke. You know Ted Carewe - he told me. The boys stuffed Mr. Pettigrew with a big tale about girls proposing and leap year until Jeremiah was scared stiff! Oh - I shall die - when I think of it! He's expecting the girls to propose. You should do your duty when he gives you the chance. "I think you and Ted Carewe have been in big business. I think Mr. Pettigrew is the truest gentleman here - and Ted, the silliest puppy. You might both of you spend a little time learning common decency from him," cried Ann with blazing eyes. With this she flung herself into her room and slammed the door upon a group of very surprised young ladies. The sudden spell of cold weather that fell on the little town in no wise cooled Jeremiah's heated brain. He grew more absent-minded than ever. He nearly blinded himself in the laboratory and generally disgraced himself. Whatever ailed him he could not tell. In the midst of a most absorbing lecture he would be staring straight before him, his pencil twirl-ing uselessly in his fingers. Ann he did not see. Whatever she was doing she succeeded in keeping out of his sight. About a week after his call upon Ann he came home to find Ted in a great state of excitement. He was getting up a skating party for the next afternoon and Jerry must go. Jeremiah pleaded a headache and every other excuse, but in vain. The next afternoon saw him well and warmly clothed plodding along in the rear of a party of students bound for Lake Mary. Quite despond-ently he trudged along, dangling his skates, until he heard above the clatter and laughter a voice that sent a thrill through him. With startled intent-ness, like one frightened out of a sound sleep, he straightened and surveyed his companions. He saw her far in the lead, a small conspicuous figure in her brown suit. From that moment he began to notice what was hap-pening around him. When Ann's partner left her for a moment at the edge of the lake Jeremiah awkwardly stepped up and offered to put on her skates. Ann consented with faintly flushed cheeks, conscious of the impish glance of Blanche Wilson. With a great deal of fumbling and awkwardness he finally strapped them on and, rising, held out his hands. Ann accepted silently and the pair swung out onto the lake quite unmindful of the wrathful amazement of Ted and the amusement of Blanche. Jeremiah was a good skater and Ann loved the sport. No happier couple swung across the ice that chilly afternoon, although there was many a noisier pair. As they glided he observed how the wind drove the rich red to her cheeks and loosened sundry glowing curls. Ann was noticing the easy, tireless stride, the quiet mastery with which he guided her. So absorbed was each that they did not see the little inlet which they were approaching until it yawned before them. " Oh! " she screamed - but too late. There was a great splash! a sudden cold shock - and Jeremiah found himself in the icy water. He made a motion to swim when he fel tsomething One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 114 ---------- beneath. He straightened and stood upright on the bottom of the creek. He reached for the bit of brown and caught Ann's dress. He slid his arm about her and held her for a second. " Stand up - the bottom is just down there," he said. But the water reached to his shoulder and Ann was shorter than that. She could not touch the sand and clung to him pitifully. Then Jeremiah proved that he was a man as well as a genius. He gathered her into his arms and waded shoreward. " Let me down now," she begged, as they drew in closer. Jeremiah's answer was not in words, but it was very plain to Ann. Several couples had heard Ann's scream and had seen the accident from a distance, but so quickly had it all occurred that they arrived at the spot just in time to behold the bedraggled young man openly clasp the dripping young woman in his arms and express himself in several moist smacks. " Heaven help us! " ejaculated Ted, pulling off his coat to wrap Ann. What - what's happened! " Half an hour later in the big kitchen of a nearby farmhouse Ann, clad in a dress far too large for her, came shyly forth to greet Jeremiah, arrayed in garments several sizes too small for him. " Come on, Blanche. We're not needed," cried Ted, shoving the other occupants out of the room. Some time later Jeremiah ventured a gentle observation: " We - we - we're engaged, aren't we? " One Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 115 ---------- yi Mountain 0tream FIRST PRIZE POEM ANNA ERICKSON Are you fleeing from unknown danger Or rushing to new delights, My mountain stream, rushing, rushing, Through the days and through the nights?

One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 116 ---------- FIRST PRIZE ESSAY LETHA S. DuCOMMUN I XVAS lost. I gazed helplessly around, but no one came. In front of me were ridges of hills, trees and thick underbrush. Night was fast falling, the sky became blacker and small drops of rain pattered down on the ground beside me. I called out once, then again, but all I heard was the echo. In my heart, I knew I must find the answer to that echo, and it was not to be solved by gazing at the already black sky, or wondering if some-one would come. I must go ahead. So half walking, and half stumbling, I made my way over the first hill. The briars cut me but still I went on. By this time, the rain came in torrents and I stumbled and fell, but at last all out of breath, I reached the next hill. What was that? A light! I knew that light was the answer to my echo, but that answer could be obtained only in one way, by continued effort and hard work. My face was dirty, and my clothes were torn by the cruel briars, when at last I reached the gate of the farm house, the light of which had guided and helped me on. But to my dismay, I was met by a large dog which growled, broke the slender rope which bound him, and jumped at me. Imagine if you can my relief when a pleasant voice said, " Down, Rover, down," and then, " Come in, stranger, and make yourself at home." The warmth of the fireplace and the kindly atmosphere of home were like a healing benediction to my wounded and bedraggled spirits. Truly it was the answer to my echo. How many have stood alone, lost on the hills of knowledge, and calling out have received the echo, but have not, as yet, secured its answer? The answer is there, but each one must find it for himself. We are all receiving echoes every day. When the war came we waited for a long time calling out, receiving the echo but letting its answer wait. It was not until we sent our boys ahead with effort and hard work that the answer came. Today, you and I are standing not on a hill, but on the mountain of knowledge. The children who need us have given the echo, for there is such a dearth in the ranks that we must find that answer although it does mean hard work and low salaries. At first we do not wish to face it - we call out -we hear just the echo; somehow, somewhere ahead is the light, the answer to our echo. For our country and for the future citizens, you and I must find that answer and count not the cost. One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 117 ---------- What of omorrno? SECOND PRIZE ESSAY HERBERT HANSEN HE everlasting question, "What of tomorrow? " is one that through-out all ages has been puzzling mankind and to which many have essayed an answer. One thing is certain, mortal man is not endowed with the power of prophecy, but it is equally certain that coming events cast their shadows before them, so that mankind, through a careful and candid consideration of the past and present can to a large extent answer the time-old question and foretell what the future has in store for them. America today is at the dawn of a great tomorrow. The most gigantic struggle in the annals of time has just ceased and the world has not yet recovered from the shock thereof. Reconstruction is progressing slowly and meanwhile millions impatiently are peering ahead and wondering what tomorrow holds in store for them. Will it be a day of honor and glorious splendor, or will it prove a disappointment - a blot to mar our national history? Momentous times are there, and great, indeed, are the problems which face our leaders. Foremost in our mind arises the question, what has America gained from the war? What have we to show in return for the billions of dollars we spent, and the thousands of lives that were sacrificed? What were the benefits of the war and what do they tell of tomorrow? Before the war Germany dominated the field of chemistry. Undis-puted her scientists reigned in their laboratories, concocting all manner of infernal devices - also their far-famed dyes. Every novelty or souvenir we purchased must bear the unescapable mark of Germany. But the war has changed all this. No longer is America dependent upon Germany, for no sooner had the war shut off our supply of dyestuffs, than American chemists turned their dyes upon the market. Not works of beauty, to be sure, but the war did start us in this line of manufacture which is a benefit for which we should be devoutly thankful. Commercially, a great tomorrow awaits America. Considering our geographical position, it is but logical to assume that the bulk of South American trade should be in our hands. Before the war, through our neglect, we allowed the enterprising German salesmen to snatch this from beneath our very eyes. Now that the war is over Germany is already pre-paring for the commercial battle. Shall we of America sit idly by and allow this fruit of victory to be snatched from our hands? What does tomorrow hold in store for us? Shall we arise and maintain our commer-cial supremacy, or sink into oblivion? Assuredly the promise of tomorrow is a bright one if we but grasp it. But South America is not the only field that beckons for American products. India, China and Japan are joining the ranks of civilized nations and crying for manufactured articles. But at that Japan is not so much a field for trade as a commercial rival. While Europe has been devastated by war and the industries of the United States turned into martial activities, One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 118 ---------- Japan has not been idle. While the nations of the world that previously led in mercantile activities have remained stationary, Japan has progressed, and now the dawn of her tomorrow is a rosy one. Whether the so-called "yellow peril" constitutes a serious menace or not, is another and a lengthy question, but at this time it is a self-evident fact that if America does not beware, Japan will sweep down with her now powerful merchant marine and lick up the cream of the trade with other awakening Oriental countries. Press dispatches from all sources at this time indicate that Japan's expansion in foreign trade is regarded as general. At present Japan has the advantage due to the slow progress of reconstruction, but whether she shall permanently retain it or not is a vital question upon which depends much of the glory of our tomorrow. Another of the fields of trade mentioned above was India. Most of India's 315,000,000 obtain their living through agriculture. Primitize methods were employed until recently but now the demands for American manufactured products is unsatisfied and the possibility for trade with India is limited only by our initiative. It is unnecessary to say more con-cerning the trade prospects of America for the future. The dawn betokens a bright tomorrow for commercial America. There are, however, other vital questions demanding solution. Para-mount among these is the peace treaty and the League of Nations. Undeniably the ideals of those advocating the League of Nations are high and noble. War is always detrimental and any means that would abolish it should be worthy of consideration. Whether the prophecies of League advocates come true and war is forever Wiped from the face of the earth remains to be seen, but as was said before, no man is a prophet, and the lessons of yesterday and today do not speak well for the peace league of tomorrow. The experiences of the immediate past do not indicate that human agencies as yet can remove war from the world. If the linking of the United States with the nations of Europe would promise well for our tomorrow is one of the questions over which our statesmen are pon-dering today. As yet the opening question, " What of tomorrow?" remains un-answered, but as a glorious sunset foretells a glorious dawn, so does today foretell a bright tomorrow.

Above the Senior's fires shone And from his lips escaped a groan, " Juniors will win!" Try not the pass the Seniors said, But still straight up the hill he lead The lass who walked on by his side, And loud and saucy he replied, " Juniors will win! " At break of day was seen to be A member of the faculty Climbing furiously and fast, And Seniors saw his sign at last, " Instructors win!" " 0, stop! " the students cried - " and rest." But their intent the traveler guessed. A twinkle flashed from his blue eye, And he was heard to make reply, "No, we must win!" And all (lay long by twos and more Their banners up the hill they bore, Pausing to eat hot buns and dogs, But sat not long upon the logs - For each would win. One man helped twenty maids or more Surmount the hill to boost the score. A modest man lie was in truth, But brave, oh brave, must be the youth At Normal School! Travelers by the way were found Exhausted - lying on the ground, Still grasping in each grimy hand A banner which revealed their band - " Juniors will win! " And many days they figured up To find who won the silver cup, Until at last there came the day When in Assembly Luke did say, "The Seniors won!" Irish: "I haven't slept for days?" Black: "What's the matter, sick?" Irish: " No, I sleep at nights." Howard Griggs: " Barber, how long will I have to wait for a shave? " Barber (looking him over carefully): "Oh, about two years." Teacher: "Johnny, tell me what you know about the Caucasian Race." Johnny: "I wasn't there. I went to the baseball game."

Now that the work is finished, the staff members will feel amply rewarded if the book to which they devoted so much of their time serves as a pleasant and comprehensive review of the past school year. Much credit is due to various students in the Art Department for the admirable etchings that appear throughout the book. Especial mention should be given to Miss Ruth Claassen, who sub-mitted the Klipsun cover design, and to Miss Ethol Lewis, who designed the running head. The Senior Class poem, which appears below the Senior etching, was written by Misses Carrie and Evelyn Whittier. To the many others who have helped in pro- during the 1920 Klipsun, we gratefully say, " We thank you." - ELWYN BUGGE, Editor.

So, this bank invites the young business man or woman who wishes to grow.

The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 123 Issue 2 Bellingham, Washington 'Upskirt' photos ruled legal in state Supreme Court BY MIKE BAAB In Washington state, it is perfectly legal to film up any woman's skirt, as long as she is in public. The state Supreme Court ruled Sept. 19 that Washington's voyeurism law does not apply to 'upskirt' photography. Western political science professor Paul Chen said many citizens might be confused about why the court would make such a decision. "This decision is going to bother most people," Chen said. "(The court is) constitutionally powerless to do what people want them to do." The court unanimously decided the voyeurism statute, which prohibits viewing or filming anyone in a place where they would have "a reasonable expectation of privacy," does not protect people in public. According to current Washington state law, any part of a persons body can be filmed or photographed as long as they are in public. The state Supreme Court Chief Justice Gerry Alexander said the court simply interpreted the law as the legislature wrote it, and it would not have been fair to stretch the statute to punish behavior it does not specifically prohibit. "I feel very comfortable with the legal analysis in this case," Alexander said. "We did what judges are supposed to do." According to the court's decision, one defendant in the case, Sean Glas, was convicted under the anti-voyeurism statute in 1999 after photographing Sears employees from below at a Yakima mall. Court documents stated the employees knew they were being photographed after they saw a flash and looked down to find Glas kneeling behind them with a camera. Richard Sorrells, the other defendant, went to the Bite of Seattle in 2000 with an upward-facing video camera in a duffel bag. Police found a tape containing under-the-skirt footage of women and young girls in his camera. Alexander said the law, as written, did not prohibit Sorrells' and Glas' actions. 'They didn't commit a crime," Alexander said. See COURT, Page 4 Job market lacks opportunities BY PETER MALCOLM With the state and country in an economic lull, the task of finding a job in Bellingham is daunting. Students and graduates are forced to settle for any job they can scrounge up. Western senior Matt Samms said he spent more than four months looking for a job in the rectaurant industry, handing in several applications before finally accepting a job at Haggen. "I had to settle for it," Samms said. "I needed a job pretty bad, so I just took it." Unfortunately for Samms and other students, the job search does not get any easier after graduation, Western graduate Lesley Davies said. Davies said she has been looking for a job since she graduated from Western in June with a double major in history and political science. She said she has not been offered an interview in spite of submitting more than 20 applications in the Bellingham and Bellevue areas. To make money while searching for a job, Davies said she works part-time at Fred Meyer. "It's really frustrating," she said. "I have a college degree; and I'm working in the Fred Meyer deli." She said several employers have told her she does not have enough experience to fill jobs that she considers entry level. "It's a Catch-22," she said. "I need a job to get experience, but I can't get a job because I don't See JOBS, Page 4 * : : 1 R : V 5^ Western seniors Mike Ehmann and Est! Shay, members of the AS club Swing Kids, dance in hope of attracting jllllll^^ Part-time professor runs for Congress BY MINDY PEASE Part-time Western professor Bruce Guthrie is running for the U.S. House of Representatives on a Libertarian ticket, in hopes of legalizing marijuana, slashing corporate welfare and repealing two controversial acts. Guthrie decided to run for Congress, he said, because he wanted to protect civil rights. "I'm afraid that our rights are being eroded very slowly in this country," he said. "It's like being nibbled to death by ducks." Guthrie said he wants to repeal the United and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, which gives the executive branch the power to arrest people based on suspicion of terrorist activity. The bill was the biggest civil-rights violation in the last 50 years, Guthrie said. He said the bill was unconstitutional and criticized his opponent, U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen CD-Wash.), who voted for the bill. Instead, Guthrie said he wants to deal with the causes of terrorism and take U.S. soldiers out of Saudi Arabia. "Aren't Saudis wealthy enough to handle their own defense?" Guthrie said. Larsen's press secretary Charla Neuman said Larsen had concerns about the USA PATRIOT Act, but he voted for it because it would triple the number of Immigration and Naturalization Service inspectors, border patrol and custom service personnel. "We needed inspectors, and this was a way to get them," Neuman said. It is hard to find a perfect bill in Washington, D.C., she said. While arguing his position for the bill, Guthrie said he has reasons for legalizing marijuana. He said he smoked marijuana six times in college but has not in the past 18 years. Guthrie said he wants to legalize marijuana, not because See CONGRESS, Page 4 Heather Trimm/ The Western Front Western professor Bruce Guthrie is campaigning for U.S. Congress.

O'Coyne imme- TZ~ZZ~.. diately appealed. ' ^^^^^^^M "I was pretty mad I didn't get a full refund because it wasn't my fault â€” there was no way I was supposed to know," O'Coyne said. Many Western students have had to pay fines because of confusion about the parking policies. 7 was pretty mad I didn't get a full refund because it wasn't my fault.' Anna O'Coyne Western sophomore said weekend parking rules changed in the last year and a half. Western junior Greg Meyer said the fluctuating rules frustrate him at times. "There's been so many rule changes in the past two years that keeping track of them is sometimes a daunting task," Meyer said. Shaw said confusion about parking regulations is not limited to Western's campus. "Sometimes I'm sure there is confusion, but we try very hard to give pamphlets and post Director of Safety Jim Shaw things on the Web sites to avoid that confusion," Shaw said. It is the individual's responsibility to know the parking rules, he said. One-day permits can be purchased at Parking and Transportation Services or at the Visitor Information Center located at the intersection of South College Drive and West College Way. In addition, the Viking Xpress bus pass provides unlimited rides on any Whatcom Transit Authority bus. An academic quarter pass is $15 and an annual pass costs $45. An Xpress pass also functions as an evening-only parking pass in most G lots after 5 p.m., unless those lots are reserved for a special event. See CONFUSION, Page 6 Court: Unanimous decision overturns convictions Continued from Page 1 Western freshman Kiki Anderson said she would feel extremely violated if anyone ever filmed her from below. "I'd feel really small, like I wasn't respected at all," Anderson said. Western sophomore Nicole Chidester said it is ridiculous that the state Supreme Court overturned convictions that would punish people like Sorrells and Glas. "It makes me want to love this country a little less, or at least the people who run it," she said. "If we can't wear a skirt in public, where can we wear it?" Chidester said she would be horrified if she found out that pictures or tapes were in circulation taken from under her skirt. "Now that the Supreme Court ruled that it's legal, there's nothing I could do," Chidester said. "People like that make us change our minds about wearing skirts." Alexander said he received numerous e-mails from the public concerning the court's decision. Most of the feedback has been negative, he said. "I don't think we've gotten any letters congratulating us," Alexander said. "Some people have called us perverts." Much of the criticism comes from people who do not understand the legal issues involved in the case, Alexander said. "There are some decisions that judges have to make that are right under the law but are tough to explain to your barber," he said. Congress: Libertarian advocates legalizing marijuana Continued from page 1 he uses drugs, but because Libertarians do not believe in punishing victimless crimes. Instead, Guthrie said he wants to develop programs to help end drug abuse. He said he would like to use the resources that go toward punishing marijuana offenses for tracking. down perpetrators of violent crimes. Guthrie also wants to slash corporate welfare by removing Congress' power to grant favors to corporations that donate to campaigns and removing the regulations limiting the amount an individual can contribute to campaigns. "The problem has to be dealt with on the Congressional side," Guthrie said. Guthrie also opposes the Defense of Marriage Act, which mandates that a same-sex marriage recognized by one state does not have to be recognized by others. Guthrie said marriage is the most beautiful of contracts between two individuals and the government should not regulate the practice. Guthrie said Larsen currently leads the race for U.S. House of Representatives. Guthrie has only 2.3 percent of the votes, following closely behind the Green Party's candidate, Bernard Haggerty. Western freshman Alex Sanchez, Democrat, said low voter turnouts for third-party candidates are one reason many liberal Democrats remain loyal to their party, even when it does not meet their expectations. Sanchez believes in the legalization of marijuana, but does not know of any Democratic politicians who are working to legalize it. Nevertheless, Sanchez said, the Democratic Party carries a trust factor that is lacking in newer parties, like the Green Party. Sanchez said few Democrats would switch to the Libertarian party because of its belief in self-government. Guthrie said he is running for office because he wants to protect civil rights, but admits there was a second reason for his decision to run for Congress. "I thought it would be fun," he said. Audra Fredrickson/ The Western Front Students wait in line Wednesday outside the Viking Union to purchase Viking Xpress passes. Jobs: Unskilled labor abounds Continued from Page 1 have experience." According to the Washington State Employment Security Commission, Washington has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. The number has increased to 7.2 percent, The national average is 5.7 percent. Whatcom County, however, has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state, which does little to explain the difficulties area job seekers encounter. Western economics professor S ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ I I I Hart Hodges said s l i l f t l l ^ l l i i^ employers are sometimes leery of hiring college students because of their limited availability. "Most college students are only here nine months of the year and have a limited working schedule with classes," he said. Hodges said another problem for students is that they are no longer competing only with fellow students. They now have competition from more qualified people who have been forced to look for jobs elsewhere because of layoffs or lack of other options. "If you want to get a job, lower your standards and cross your 'If you want to get a job, lower your standards and cross your fingers.' Hart Hodges Economics professor Mary Murray, Student Employment Center coordinator, said students can find jobs if they know how to look for them. "There are jobs available, but students tend to be picky," she said. "The key to success is to be persistent and flexible." Murray said such qualities will produce employment and overcome the country's two-year economic slowdown. Hodges said Sept. 11 is a focal point to mark the nation's recent economic slide, but the problems were already beginning before the terrorist attacks. "It's tough to determine how much 9/11 affected the economy," Hodges said. "But even without it, the economy would still have problems." Hodges said he is not sure when the trend will reverse. He said he believes it will be a slow recovery, but he is optimistic. "We are doing better than a lot of places," he said of the Bellingham area. "It could be much worse." This report is the first in a series of articles about the local job markets. fingers," Hodges said.

This summer marked the hall's first major renovation since it was constructed in 1960. "Highland is an old building and we had problems with it," Hart said. "Over the years, heating, ventilation and noise issues were raised by the students. It was time." Hart said the rooms originally contained a window that could not be opened. "We now have tri-panel windows that open and an improved ventilation system," Hart said. Wetern sophomore Julie Haug-hton, Stack2 resident, said she likes her renovated room because it is more accessible. "There is better bathroom lighting, and it is nice to have the built-in drawers and vanity." Haughton said. Hart said Western officials removed the old stationary desks to give more flexibility to the students, while installing the high-speed Internet connections. Andrea Marston Western junior The renovated rooms also include a new fire-detection system, allowing University Police to monitor the halls more accurately, Hart said. The renovations also enhanced earthquake safety by making seismic and structural improvements, he said. Other changes include fresh paint, new carpet and improved bathrooms. "The original bathrooms had free-standing sinks but now connect with a counter top," Hart said. Western junior and Highland Hall resident Andrea Marston lives in Stack 3, which has not yet been renovated. "I have no complaints about being in an older room," Marston said. "Your room is what you make of it." Hart said renovations on the remaining Stacks 1 and 3 will be completed next summer.

Police Chief Jim Shaw said. The UP is adding another escort van to transport students at night. The number of Greencoats is increasing from 21 to 25 student employees, in addition, adding another escort van for students utilize, Shaw said. Their duties include checking the dorms to make sure they are secure, providing dispatch services and vehicle and foot patrols, he said. "We like to think education and prevention are just as important as apprehension or enforcement," he said. Shaw said Western has not experienced many crimes against people, though car prowls and other property crimes are a problem. Bellingham Police Chief Dae Jamison also said he doesn't see many violent crimes in Bellingham. "It's a very safe campus," Jamison said. "The violent crimes are few and far between. The Greencoats are a very good way to extend police powers and have so many eyes and ears." Western senior Erika Jordan said she paged Greencoats numerous times during her first year at Western. "I lived Fairhaven/'Jordan said, "and walking through campus ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^p at two in the morning is not the 'jfs a very safe campus, most ^exciting The v i o l e n t c r i m e s are thing to do, especially by yourself." few and far between.' The U.S. DeparLt. Dae Jamison tment of Justice gave Western an Ending Violence AgainstWomen grant in 2001. The grant pays for increased Greencoat services and other campus improvements. The grant's goal is to improve lighting, phones and escort services on campus, while encouraging men to defend women, said Pat Fabiano, the Prevention and Wellness program director. She said students should know that assaults are rare, and other problems such, as excessive alcohol use and trouble at parties, are far more common. Western also offers students whistles to use as safety devices. "We hand out whistles to those women whowant them,"Shaw said. "A whistle carries much farther than a yell or a scream, and it has a different connotation." There can be many reasons for someone to Bellingham Police Chief ^ but a whis-tie means trouble, he said. Western junior Angie Tjoelker said she worries no one will be able to hear her whistle. "It makes me feel a little bit safer to have it," Tjoelker said. "I don't necessarily know if it's going to work, though." Jordan also said whistles might not work. "I think a lot of people would just ignore (the whistle) if they heard it," Jordan said. "Yeah, it's a loud whistle, but people also play loud music and scream for no apparent reason." Shaw said other safety features on campus include the blue light emergency phones. The phones are scattered across campus and are bright so students can see them easily, Shaw said. The phones automatically dial the UP dispatch service. He said he is not comfortable with the wooded paths leading to the Ridgeway complex and urges students to take well-lighted routes, such as High Street. Jordan said she felt nervous walking on the Ridgeway trails. "If you use common sense, (the trails are) fine," she said.

Romans 8:29:"Because those whom He foreknew, He also predesti nated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers; Footnote 3: "Conformed to the Image of His Son": Conformation is the end result of transformation. It includes the changing of our inward essence and nature, and it also includes the changing of our outward form, that we may match the glorified image of Christ, the God-man. He is the prototype and we are the mass production. Both the inward and the outward changes in us, the product, are the result of the operation of the law of the Spirit of life (v.2) in our being. Commentary: When, by faith, we become sons of God, a whole new kind of life begins operating in our being. This life is Jesus Christ Himself as the Life-giving Spirit. Great changes take place from the growing and'operating of His Life in us. His life causes our souls to match the image/expression of Jesus Christ. Our outward expression, ie. Our thoughts, feelings and choices, begin to match our new inward nature (Christ in us). His mind becomes our mind (I Cor.2:16). His feelings become our feelings (Phil. 1:8); His will becomes our will (Heb. 13:21). We become the repro duction of Jesus Christ, the firstborn God-man! God's eternal purpose is progressing in us until we are completely conformed to His image in our entire tri-partite being: spirit, soul, and body (I Thess. 5:23)! (Spiritual note: the creation shows us physical examples of God's hidden, spiritual ways. A simple, black, sooty, piece of coal which only sucked in the light...can become a crystal clear, reflecting, shining diamond...through tremendous heat and pressure. This is a glimpse, a hint, of our conformation.

This is especially true in high schools. Books are often challenged for sexually explicit material, promoting a religious belief or violence. Not everyone agrees with these book challenges, including people affiliated with Banned Books Week. "Banning books is banning our freedom," said Vicki White, Western's general titles book buyer. "People need to have freedom, including what they read." Today marks the end of the event, which celebrated the public's freedom to read whatever book it chooses. The national event celebrates previously challenged or banned books. Western's Associated Students Bookstore is displaying and selling banned books until Oct. 5. White, who has been coordinating the event at Western for 16 years, said the reason for Western's participation in Banned Books Week is to protect the First Amendment. "It's to fight censorship," White said. "We're trying to stress the fact that we need freedom to read and express opinions." According to the American Library Association's Web site, most books fea- ._ " tured in Banned Books Week are never banned but challenged, based on a person's or group's objections to the book's content. A successful challenge results in a banned book or a book that cannot be bought where it was banned. According to the Web site, this rarely happens, thanks to the help of tireless librarians. Western sophomore Sarah Claddet said she disagrees with all forms of book banning in high schools. "If you have (high school) students drinking beer and partying," Claddet said "they should be able to read a book with a few cuss words in it." 'Banning books is banning our freedom.' Vicki White Western's general titles book buyer Western junior Darryl Malone said many parents send their children to schools expecting a safe haven. "I wouldn't want my children reading filth at school that's OK (with the teachers) when I would be trying to keep that stuff away from them at home," Malone said. "To me, it sends a , mixed message to our children. You tell them one thing as parents, and then you've got teachers telling them another. " Associate English professor Marc Geisler said banned books should be examined on a case-by-case basis. She said certain banned books are fine for older age groups. He said many high school students are reaching adulthood, and schools may ban a book because they don't like the message the book sends. Geisler said a book with a gay character could be banned because the subject could be perceived as bad for the reader or because people opposed to the book disagree with homosexual behavior. Geisler said books intended for a mature audience should never be censored. "At the college level, I don't think there is any room for censorship," he said. Claddet and Geisler agreed that a teacher choosing what to keep the students from reading was much different than an outside group banning a book. "The teachers know their kids and know how they're going to react," Claddet said. "Teachers deal with students every day and don't just sit and talk about them once a month." According to the American Library Association Web site, people challenge and ban books thinking they are protecting their communities from perceived injustices while preserving what they think society as a whole should embrace. The result, according to the Web site, is the denial of another person's right to read. The Bellingham Public Library is also displaying banned books and brochures available for the public to learn about Banned Books Week. ^^^^^^^^^H iiBBlBBilH^ilimBi^li iliBPi^ftii^p^BiiiiiffiBi Tuition increase causes financial pressure By Matt DeLong Western students are seeking jobs and changing their lifestyles to accommodate the 14 percent tuition increase that began this academic year. The increase means students now pay an additional $412.50 in tuition and fees per year, Western public information officer Tanya Rowe said. "It's shocking," Western senior Todd Gillies said. "I feel fortunate that this is my last quarter. If this were my second year, it would be awful." Other seniors are making more drastic changes because of the tuition increase. "This increase is ridiculous," Western senior Sarah Coter said. "Along with all the park- 'This increase i ridiculous.' ing fees and the amount the bookstore brings in. I don't think it's necessary." Clara Capron, Western Financial Aid Office director, said the number of financial aid ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ a p p l i c a t i o n s has *M~â„¢M*~m*Ma*~^Wm increased. She said she is not sure, however, if the increase in applications is because of the rising tuition cost. Western junior Ruth Webster said she is concerned that the price of a college education may soon discourage many people from going to college at all. "If tuition continues to begin to seek alternative forms of education, causing a decrease in college enrollment." Webster said many students could be forced to reduce the amount of money they spend on e n t e r t a i n m e n t because of the tuition increase. Several students are already beginning to alter their lifestyles to counteract the tuition increase. Coter said she moved to an off-campus apartment where her rent is less expensive than a dorm room. She is also spending less money on food to offset the Sarah Coter Western senior increase," she said, " people will increased tuition. Confusion: Parking rules unclear Continued from Page 4 Western senior Danielle Knapp said the perks of an Xpress pass far outweigh those of driving. "It seems unreasonable to pay four times as much to park far away when you could just get a bus pass and get dropped off close to your classes," Knapp said. Carol Berry, Western's alternate transportation coordinator, said Western sold approximately 5,000 Xpress passes each quarter last year. Xpress passes can be purchased at the Parking and Transportation Services office or at the Viking Union the first few days each quarter. Passes are only available through Western's Parking and Transportation Services, not through WTA. Berry described this year's sales as brisk. "We expect to sell more this year," Berry said. For those students who still choose to drive, the most common violation is parking without a permit, Shaw said. The minimum ticket price is $20, but students can avoid tickets by properly displaying a valid WWU parking pass. Passes given or sold from one student to another are not considered valid, according to the Western's Parking Regulation and Information pamphlet. Any appeals to a citation must be completed within seven days from the issue date on the ticket.

Compiled by Greta Olson Mellow weather in Beck's "Sea Change" Review by Aaron Managhan Welcome to Beck's world. It's a world of desolation. It's a world of wasted dreams and unrelenting desires. It's a world where questions go unanswered, and answers turn to lies. But most importantly, it's a world of pure listening pleasure. Beck's new album, "Sea Change," takes all these worlds and turns them into a musical masterpiece. Beck returned to work with renowned producer Nigel Godrich, who produced Beck's 1998 release "Mutations," as well as every Radiohead album. With "Sea Change," Beck returns to his folky, guitar- laden past, best displayed on his early album, "One Foot in the Grave," which was released by Olympia's K Records. His music breaks down like this: Beck likes to go back and forth. He hits with a soft, mellow, folky album like "Mutations," then slaps his listeners upside the head with the weirdest music on the face of the planet, like his album "Midnite Vultures." On his new album, he's back to being his mellow self. "Sea Change" shows a more personal side of Beck. He captures his raw emotion on every track. In the song "Already Dead," Beckfs. newfound blues appreciation becomes quite clear. "Losing strength in every hand / They can't hold you anymore /Already dead to me now /' Cuz it feels like I'm watching something die," he moans. On the surface, it seems like Beck is in the middle of some self-inflicted, post-stardom depression. However, the musical backdrop paints a completely different image. While the drums provide a fairly constant backbone, the guitars contribute a slightly more upbeat feel throughout the album. The bass lines are funky in a diminished, alt-country kind of way, and the lead guitar lays out the beautiful slide guitar twang heard in earlier works. The singing style remains patented Beck. Only Beck can sing lines like, "Go to sleep / We're so tired now / All together in a snake pit of souls," and make sleeping with snakes sound comforting. At times his keyboards sound similar to the new Flaming Lips album, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots." This similarity is interesting, since the Lips are both opening for Beck and playing as his backup band during his October tour. Explaining each individual track is pointless since the album plays through like one long song. Tempos don't really change from track to track. For songs like "Already Dead," "Guess I'm Doing Fine," "Round the Bend" and almost every other track, titles could be swapped and it would go unnoticed. An album sounding like one long song is not necessarily a bad thing. However, be forewarned: this album is Beck's most mellow by far. Do not listen to this album on long drives under the influence of Dramamine. Beck fans should receive this album nicely, and the album will most likely make a believer out of those who despise Beck's stranger ventures on "Midnite Vultures."

The storyteller created an ambiance of a familiar coziness, like children huddling together during story time. Despite his confident performance, some might not have guessed it was his first time storytelling in public. "I was really nervous for my first public performance but was prepared to entertain small audiences from five up to larger audiences such as 50," Johann said. "You were going to get everything from me regardless." Johann's performance was part of "A Night of Stories," one of the first events in Bellingham's Fringe Festival. The festival continues through Oct: 5 and features local artists, musicians, authors and poets.

"It's fun to drink cheap beer and pretend it's champagne." Monday night mayhem Football fans can catch Monday Night Football at The Quarterback Pub Eatery in Sehome Village. The Quarterback offers football bingo to win raffle tickets for prizes, such as T-shirts and drinks, said \ Zach Westphal, Quarterback bartender and bingo coordinator. The Wild Buffalo House of Music offers live music including blues, jazz, and rock six days per week, and an open mic on Wednesday nights. "(Wild Buffalo is) non-smoking, Â£jf nice and clean, has a good atmosphere and good microbrews," Bellingham resident Brian Hillman, 22, said. Drink-a-ton Tuesdays "Tuesdays at The Fairhaven are chill," Western senior Sarah Parsons said. "It's a great place to have a good conversation, play a game of pool and grab a beer." The Fairhaven Pub offers $5.50 pitchers on all microbrews throughout the week, along with various food specials. Wild Wednesdays Wednesday nights are popular with college students, said the 3 B Tavern bartender, Ceri Chappie. "Students love the cheap beer," Chappie said. "They don't have a lot of money, so (they like) whatever gets them drunk the fastest and the cheapest." Cover charges range from $2 to $4. Students can enjoy $5.75 pitchers of Budweiser while dancing to funk and soul music from the '60 and '70s. "Definitely, 'funk night' is the place to be," Western senior Erin Hassen said. The Fairhaven Pub and Martini Bar manager, Anna Williams, said students can get a burger and a pint at The Fairhaven for $5 until 11 p.m. or can enjoy $2.25 pints of microbrews and well drinks during its 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. happy hour. Thirsty Thursdays Thursday night is the busiest night for the World Famous Up Up Tavern, owner Ian Relay said. "It's the best place for cheap Busch," Western senior Nick Livingston said. "Everybody loves the $2 pitchers." The Up Up has a decent amount of seating and is packed full by 10:30 p.m., but usually clears out around 11:30 p.m., Relay said. Welcome to the drink-end Downtown Johnny's Restaurant and Night club serves $1.50 well drinks until 11 p.m. to accompany its hip-hop, R B and dance music. Boundary Bay Brewery and Bistro, a bar and full restaurant, occasionally has music on weekends, music director Matt Zielfelder said. Students can enjoy a band and Bellingham brewed beer for $3.25 per pint. "For straight drinks, I go the The Ranchroom (in the Horseshoe Cafe), for good, live music I go to the 3 B, Factory or the Wild Buffalo, or to the Beaver for pool and air hockey," Western senior Ryan Masters said. Sober Sundays (not really) If six days of drinking did not quell the party-animal spirit, Sunday nights at The Beaver Inn might be the right place to relax. Western senior Laura Camus, a bartender at The Beaver, said Pabst Blue Ribbon pitchers are $3.50, and pool and popcorn are free. She said The Beaver is a nice place to relax after a long week of partying. "Cheap beer is everything to a college student," Western senior Aaron Crary said. "It's what we survive on.The fact that it's cheap makes it good." Heather Trimm/The Western Front Western junior Eric Lindner said the 3 B Tavern is one of his favorite places.

The nationally No. 15 ranked Vikings jumped five spots after a deciding home-opening victory against Colorado's Fort Lewis College on Sept. 14. After a rare Vikings off-week, senior wide receiver Greg Dykstra and the quarterback duo of junior Josh Shimek and sophomore Steve Nichols shift their offensive focus to the Saint Mary's Gaels, who they play ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^p Saturday in Moraga, Calif.

"Saint Mary's is definitely one of our tougher games," Shimek said. "They're a tough team." This game will be the third match-up of the two teams. Western won last season in Moraga 30-20 and 20-7 at Civic Field in 1999. Saint Mary's is 2-2 this season, losing close games to Central Washington University and Montana State University. In Western's -victory against Fort Lewis, Dykstra tied two school records with three touchdown receptions and four total touchdowns to lead the Vikings to a 52-14 win. Shimek threw him two touchdowns, and Nichols tossed the third. Dykstra also scored on a punt return. Even after Dykstra's record-tying performance, he concedes the victory to the Vikings on the other side of the ball. "We have so much confidence in our defense now," he said. "If we struggle a couple series (on offense), we know we're not going to get backed up." Defensively, the Vikings were dominant, with sophomore free safety Rob White forcing four turnovers. "I couldn't believe we got as many turnovers as we did," White said. "But for as much as we stress it in practice, for as many strip circuits we do and interception drills that we do and pursuit drills that we do (I'm not surprised)." White started for only the second time after replacing safety Erik Totten, who now plays on the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad. "He is stepping into some big shoes, playing the position that Erik Totten has played the last few years," head coach Rob Smith said. "Rob's a talented player in his own right." The Vikings defense shut out Fort Lewis for three quarters and will look to continue its dominance against Saint Mary's. The Gaels have averaged 21.8 points per game this season. Smith said the Vikings will continue to use a successful two-quarterback system on offense against Saint Mary's. Against Fort Lewis, Shimek and Nichols combined for, six touchdown passes and 353 yards passing. "Shimek's just doing awesome out there, making really good reads and good checks, and he's throwing the ball real well," Dykstra said. Shimek, who won the starting job in spring practice, said his years backing up Ail-American Scott Mitchell has not helped his development as much as receiving playing time. "There's no substitute for just being out on the field," Shimek said. "You can watch Scott for Greg Dykstra Wide receiver Heather Trimm/The Western Front Fullback B.J. Frost attempts to run with a defender on his back during the Vikings 52-14 win against Fort Lewis College. Frost rushed for 5 yards and caught three passes for 40 yards. The No. 17 Vikings play at Saint Mary's, who they beat each of the last two years. three years; he's a great quarterback, and I learned a lot from him. ... But there's just no substitute for being out on the field. Your confidence definitely grows with every snap you take." While Shimek tossed four touchdown passes in the game against Fort Lewis, he also threw an interception for the second consecutive game. "Both (quarterbacks) did some things well, both did some things that they're disappointed in, and I'm disappointed in, and we'll look to correct (the problems)," Smith said. "I see us having two quarterbacks that are both capable and deserve playing time." Western and Saint Mary's have near opposite approaches on offense. The Vikings average 339 yards passing per game this year and 118.5 yards rushing. Saint Mary's uses more of a ground attack by averaging 232.8 yards per game rushing. They average only 64.5 per game passing. Smith said the Vikings will need to improve their ground game as the season progresses. He wants to start with Saturday's game against Saint Mary's. "We're gonna need to run the ball to win games," Smith said. "We feel we can and need to be a much better football team than what we've been showing. The schedule gets tougher."

Inspired by the programs he learned about at Summerstart, Farr said he visited the Outdoor Center and joined a weekend climbing trip to George. "In college, sports can be such a commitment," he said. "I just wanted to play and meet some people." By the end of the year, he said the OC opened his eyes to sports he had never played. The OC is just one avenue Western students may take when exploring the possibilities of non-varsity sports. Students who want to pursue off-campus adventures can take advantage of the OC's hub of infor- | | ^ H M I mation and rentals, U l i l i l l l ^ ll such as white-water rafts, stoves, sleeping bags, maps and books. "We rent anything and everything for people to go out and play," said Western senior Jason Dearborn, an OC employee. In addition to providing rentals, the OC posts a list of activities and classes taught throughout the quarter that are open to community members. "In the past, we've done things like a crevasse rescue class, bike maintenance and even a back-country cooking class," Dearborn said. "We're always open to what students want to do and what we can dream up." He said staff members can always suggest places for students to explore in the Bellingham area. "The Lakewood facility is one of my favorite places," Dearborn said. "It is cheap, and there is always something fun out there." Lakewood is a waterfront boathouse and recreational picnic area that is home to more than 60 watercraft, available for rent by Western students, faculty, staff and alumni. "Not many people know or realize how close Lakewood is to campus," Western senior Quinn Zander- Conn said. "It is a nice, affordable way to have fun." Rental costs range from $1 for individual kayaks to $3 for the largest boats, such as sailboats or catamarans, Lakewood boathouse attendant Luke McCandless said. Zander-Conn said he first 'The Lakewood facility is one of my favorite places. It is cheap, and there is always somthingfun out there.' Jason Dearborn Outdoor Center employee learned about the Lakewood facility by taking a sailing class at Western. The Office of Campus Recreation offers these types of classes. The office also sponsors clubs, leagues, tournaments and classes to give students an opportunity to participate in non-varsity activities and team sports, said Peter Lockhart, intramural coordinator and sports club adviser. "Western offers great instructional and athletic opportunities for free or a low cost," said Lockhart. "Most people want to continue playing sports on one level or another." He said clubs and leagues give students the option to play on organized sports teams and participate in tournaments individually. Lockhart said students could also exercise in classes, such as yoga, kickboxing and hip-hop dance. "Campus recreation is for students who are athletic and competitive," Lockhart said. "It is a way to hang out with friends and an easier way to organize activities." Campus Recreation gave Farr the opportunity form his own Softball team at the end of his freshman year. "Everyone can play a sport a little bit," he said. "Up here, recreation is all at your back door."

"This just gives us a taste of what we can expect from him this year," Hartmaier said. "He beat out a lot of Division I players from UW and WSU. It's exciting to have someone on the team like that." Hartmaier said a win like Kezes' inspires the whole team. He said he is interested to see what Kezes and the rest of the team can do this season. Kezes' first race for Western was his first cross country race in two years, because he sustained a stress fracture injury while attending Western State College in Colorado. Despite the injury, Kezes earned Ail-American honors in both indoor and outdoor track. Kezes said he started running competitively the summer before his senior year at Sehome High School. He transferred from Blaine High School before his senior year. After graduating, Kezes went to Clackamas Community College in Oregon City, Ore., where he ran for three years. He said he learned a lot of basic fundamental skills while at Clackamas. "It's taken a lot of hard work to get where I am," Kezes said. "I've also had great support from people in ^ ^ ^ ^ the past." ^^^^^^Ml Kezes warms up the same way before each race. He starts by taking a 20-minute jog, stretching and jumping around to loosen up. He also eats healthy foods, such as bagels and yogurt, at least two and a half hours before a race. Kelven "Pee Wee" Halsell, Western's cross country head coach, said he was very pleased with Kezes' performance in his first race at Western. "It's exciting to see the Western Washington uniform and colors crossing the finish line," he said. "It's good to have Western represented so well." Western finished 18 overall out of 25 colleges at the 'He beat out a lot of Division I players from UW and WSU. It's exciting to have someone on the team like that.'

"I like that I can just drive a couple minutes and park my car and take a run." Kezes said. He said he was drawn to Western because of the different experience a larger school offers. "Western State has a lot less people because it's in the middle of the mountains and is freezing cold," Kezes said. Kezes received Ail-American honors in track for in the 1500 meters while at Western State. He said he is interested in majoring in communications while at Western, if he can get into the classes he needs. He is eligible for cross country this season, track in the spring and cross country next fall. He received an extra year of eligibility because of his injury at Western State. Halsell said Kezes has positioned himself well for nationals, which are in November.

The Washington State Supreme Court sees it differently. The state court justices understandably have to rule based ^g: gt;;^.g^^ on the existing law, but l l i i l i l l l l l l it the law permits immorality and is an injustice to females. The Legislature needs to reevaluate the importance of protecting women's rights and change the voyeurism law. On September 19, the court ruled that it is legal to photograph up a woman's skirt if she is in a public place. The court made an irresponsible decision in declaring 'upskirt' photography legal. 'Upskirt' photography is not 'Women should have a reliable level of privacy in public, especially when it concerns what is underneath their clothing.' morally acceptable, despite its legality. Two men took pictures up women's skirts with the intent of selling the sexually explicit pictures on the Internet, according to The Seattle Times. The state's voyeurism law prohibits a person from taking pictures based on sexual desire without the permission of the subject according to the Revised Code of Washington. Washington state law does not protect women who fall victim to upskirt photography. A woman, it seems, is deemed as public property the minute her classic A-line skirt hits the sidewalk of any downtown street. "The voyeurism statue, as written, does not prohibit up skirt photography in a public place," Justice Bobbe Bridge said in a recent Seattle Times article. Out of all the public places, it is ridiculous there are only two environments where a woman has a full expectation of privacy. According to Washington's voyeurism law, people can only expect See INDECENT, Page 15 Washington must broaden law to close voyeur loophole Erik Peterson COMMENTARY Taking photos up women's skirts in public places is legal. As immoral as it may seem, the Washington Supreme Court court's ruling that 'upskirt' photos were legal is sound. The judges had no choice but to interpret the law the â€ž^m ^ v ^ m m m ^ ^ t ^ r ,, way it was written. mmtt$$^M$$g^m As long as state law remains as written, sneak-peek photographers have free reign in shopping malls, department stores and other public places. The court dropped voyeurism charges against two men caught taking photos up women's skirts in public places. The court decision said "upskirt" photographs are admittedly lewd but legal. 'Prosecuting the men under the current law would have been irresponsible and set the stage for future injustices.' For the time being, blatantly disturbing behavior, such as shoving a picnic basket equipped with a hidden camera underneath a little girl's skirt at the local park, will remain as legal as using the crosswalk at an intersection. "Although (their) actions are reprehensible, we agree that the voyeurism statute, as written, does not prohibit upskirt photography in a public place," wrote Justice Bobbe Bridge, one of the four women on the state Supreme Court. Prosecuting the men under the current state law would have been irresponsible and would set the stage for future injustices. If the law is stretched to put sexual deviants behind bars, then the law could be stretched in the opposite d
