In this column I am going to attempt to bring out Hie most important facts and trends. Many of these observations and opinions are my own, so take them for what you think they are worth. This week has seen the passing from the scene of two of the most infamous men in history. These men are Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini. A d o l p h Hitler, der Fuehrer, came to power in 1933 as Chancellor of Germany. In the following years he gradually strengthened his power until he plunged the world into a war of catastrophic magnitude in 1939. In 1939, 1940, and 1941, he overran all of Europe execept the valiant little island of Great Britain and the sprawling Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In the summer of 1941, Hitler made the mistake that led to the downfall of the German Reich. The mistake of invading the U. S. S. R. From that time on his days were numbered. Gradually the tide was reversed until now the G.l/s have joined the Russians in several places along the Elbe, and Adolf Hitler is reported to have been killed fighting in Berlin. This is according to the Hamburg radio. Possibly the reported death of Hitler is to mask his escape while the German High Command hopes that the successor to Hitler, Admiral Karl Doenitz, will be able to get easier terms of peace from the Allies by trying to show that the Nazis have been removed. I do not think this will work. • - Also gone from the scene of international conflict is the pathetic figure of Benito Mussolini, who was shot to death along with his mistress and seventeen other high ranking Fascists. II Duce came to power much earlier than der Fuehrer, 1922 to be exact. At the head of several hundred ragged Black Shirts, Benito marched on Rome and was "openly welcomed by the starving, destitute Italians, who would accept anything that would give them food and jobs. . . For many years Mussolini rode the waves of glory, until he joined his partner in crime, Adolph Hitler, in the war. From that.time on Italy was on the way down until today his dream of Mare Nostrum has been destroyed, the empire is gone, Italy is completely occupied and the once great dictator is dead. Let this be a lesson to democracy in the future, to clean out "sore spots before they start to fester. Turning from death and destruction we look to San Francis- (Continued on Page Three) Spring Fever Strikes Campus; Daydreams Reign Supreme With spring blooming out in its entirety these past few days, familiar sites can be thoroughly enjoyed from the now-deserted libe.

Kuder, WWC registrar, author of "Planning Your Education" was recently appointed to the steering committee of the Western Washington caravan, to publish a manual of information to be distributed to prospective college students in Western Washington and Oregon colleges and universities. Gardiner Wins Top AWS Position Pat Gardiner, sophomore, was elected to lead AWS for 1945-46 in the regular student assembly last Friday. Pat has been active in talent shows, belongs to Valkyrie, Board of Control, has acted this year as AWS social chairman and has been a Prom Princess for two years. O t h e r administrative officers elected were Joan Haggard, soph, as vice-president; Z e l m a Blekkink, frosh, as secretary; and Martha Monoghan, f r o s h , as treasurer. These coeds will take office next fall quarter. Campus Day Celebration Set; Norsemen's Beards Growing By CATHERINE ANDERSON A flashy stocking dance, featuring the Hard Time theme of Campus Day, will top off the festivities of this year's school skipping. The dance will begin at eight o'clock, and will include presentation of prizes for the best skits, the best beards, and the flashiest, loudest pair of socks on the floor. The~Hard Time theme will be followed at the dance, and signs and deco^ rations will bring out this point. Times will be so tough that refreshments will be cokes and cokes only. However, the prizes will be substantial and well-deserved- Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, co-chairmen of Campus Day, have stated that absolutely no bobby pins, hair pins, ribbons, clips, rubber bands, or toasters shall be worn in the girls' hair the day before Campus Day. This point is emphasized in every announcement. Absolutely nothing shall J»e worn in the hair. For the rest of their costume, students are advised to dress in their oldest and saddest outfits, and men are to wear their hair Ish-Ka-bibble style, and beards of all lengths, colors, and descriptions will also be worn. Students may invite guests to the Campus Day dance, but there must be one college student per couple. Prizes will be given at intermission, and the dance will end at 10:30 or 11- And as for those socks! Polka' dots, loud stripes, circles, bows on. them, plaids, and various patterns will be worn, and according to dance chairman Herb Witt, "the louder the better." Awards will be given to both men and women for the most eye-filling stockings. Can you borrow a pair of Pa's? Convention Chooses Prexy Candidates Shomshak, Dahlgren Elaine Dahlgren and June Shomshak were chosen by the nominating convention last Tuesday as candidates for Associated Student Body President. The list of nominees before the convention included Bob DePastel and Beverly McNally. Running for vice-president are Beverly McNally and Margaret Rut-ledge. Elaine Dahlgren is a sophomore from Mount Vernon. One of this years' Prom Princesses, Elaine is a member of Alkisiah, ACE, and a Valkyrie girl. June Shomshak is a junior from Sedro-Woolley, chairman of War Activities, Blue Triangle Cabinet member, Vice-President of Vanadis Bragi and a member of Valkyrie. Those elected to run for four quarter man or woman were Marilyn Booras and Gene Sivertson; three quarter woman, Nell Kosola, Virginia Pendleton; and three-quarter man or woman, Joan Haggard, Bob DePastel. Elections will be held Wednesday, May 16. Year's Events Now Printed Pictures and copy are now in for the Newsletter, "which will be mailed to all former students now in the service. The . Newsletter, published by the Collegian staff, is financed jointly by Valkyrie, Collegian, Klip-sun and money which was donated by students at the Publications Prom. The single sheet, similar to last years', will be written like a letter, with pictures to illustrate certain points. Topics will include the year's recreation and activities including the Prom, Winter Show, and sports. Commencement Week Plans Include Many Social and Serious Events Commencement week plans at WWC, June 6 to Friday, June 8, are being made by a committee headed by Miss Piatt of the Science department. ALUMNI BANQUET Saturday, June 2, at 6 p. m., the first time since June 6, 1942, the graduating class will be guests of the school at an alumni banquet in Edens Hall.

Twenty Seniors Visit Campus Twenty seniors from Bremerton High School, accompanied by Miss Edna Frasier, ' graduate of WWC, will be on the campus May 7 and-6. The visit is the culmination of a year's co-operative study . between the ' college and the Bremerton schools, which is attempting a guidance program to interest more highi school students in the teaching profession. The idea was developed by Don Patterson, assistant superintendent of schools at Bremerton, also . a WWC graduate. Mrs. Waneta Catey and Miss Sylva Nicol of the Department of Student Teaching, have met with these students in Bremerton on different occasions. They are all seniors who have served, at various times, as substitute teachers in class rooms under supervision. The schedule for the two-day visit to the campus was planned by Dr. Paul Grim and Miss Lorraine Powers. The group will arrive shortly after noon Monday, and AWS will be hostess Monday afternoon; a tea and tour of the campus buildings is planned, followed by a dinner at Edens Hall and swimming and recreation hour in the gym. A social hour at Edens Hall will finish the day. Tuesday will be spent entirely in the Campus Schools, visiting the buildings and observing classes. The visit will end after a lunch at Edens Hall. Van Aver Writes Albert Van Aver, of the English department, has just received word from the editor of Educational Administration and supervision that . his article, "The Function of Literature After the War" has been accepted for publication and will appear in an early issue. This article is a sequel to an earlier article written by Mr. Van Aver, called "The Study of Literature During the War," originally delivered as a radio address on this campus. ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 May 4 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, Ma/ 4, 1945 ESTABLISHED 1899 Published Every Friday, Except During . the month of September, by the Associated Students.

RUTH BURNET Pub. Adviser Spring Hits WWC Campus; Students Relax and Burn O^iiciiali With the unconditional surrender of German troops in Italy, the European battle comes closer to the finish line. Even as I write this copy the end steadily approaches. The news these past days has been the best we have heard since the war began, but the time is still distant when our celebration can be complete. WATCH THE BEARDS GO BY Now that the beards are growing, the ration points are collected and the skits are being rehearsed, we are all anxiously awaiting the traditional Campus Day. With a prayer for sunshine the student body of WWC is planning its ensembles for next Tuesday. Let's all give our full support to the committees who are working hard to make Campus Day a big success. ELECTION TIME We have the most important election of the year coming up very soon. It is up to us to choose the very best leaders to guide us through 1945-46. Our student body president is the chosen representative of the students of WWC. In order to elect the one who will best fill the position it is the responsibility of every student to vote in the election to be held May 16. Don't forget that date. And don't underestimate the desirability of getting good people to fill the other vacant offices which are being filled this spring. For the girls, the WRA election is coming up soon and for the men, the Norsemen election is a coming attraction. In every election take a little time to think about the nominees and then make sure you cast your ballot. During the past several years too many people have carelessly ignored the polls, yet if this privilege were taken from them they would certainly put up a few loud protests. We're fighting to keep what we have, so show that you want to keep your democracy. YOU MAKE IT We Print The News, You Make It. That has always been and still is the motto of the WWCol-legian. Despite that fact and despite the fact that newspapers have always had as their chief objective the printing of news material, complaints still come rolling in'about the source of our news. Our staff members have, often overheard a group of students criticizing the sheet because of too much faculty news and too little students news. But our ques- Mosher Recalls Poem Choices The time has come to speak of poetry. I know you'll probably stop right here, but do you know why you dislike poetry? Even though you are not one who reads poetry just for the aesthetic value, there is some sort of verse that will appeal if you will give it half a chance. In most cases it is ignorance that influences your dislike. For amusement and humor try reading Ogden Nash . . . For instance . . . "A girl who is bespectacled She may not get her necktacled; But safety pins and bassinets Awaits the girl who fassinets." Modern poetry is good and often fills the need the best, but the old sentimental poets really have something. Who can imitate Edgar Allen Poe's "Bells" . . . . . . To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells." Christopher Marlowe for sentimentality . . . "Come live with me and be my love . . . " Keats . . . ". . . I'll smoothly steer My little boat, for many quiet hours, With streams that deepen freshly with bowers." Wordsworth . . . "A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, smiles." The list of wonderful bits of verse could go on for miles but that is where the pleasure is found, in discovering a bit of well known new poetry that says what you feel better than any prose could possibly do. Don't take my word for it or anyone else's. Speak for yourself! tion is., "What have the freshmen done lately to make news, what have the sophomores done,, and what has the junior-senior class done that should appear in print?" With the clubs it is the same story except in occasional instances where a tea or a drive for some cause steps into the news. Unless the- students are active there is nothing for us to report, so the news you see in your weekly is what you make it. Another thing—it is impossible to include everyone's name in every edition, which we know is one of the greatest causes for dissatisfaction. But until you make the news, we can't report it. It is all up to you. ym Gonlessin Ya' wanta fashion foto? Wanta know what's the latest? Well, right now the vogue has turned to red. Tomorrow, though, it is very apt to be tan. Joan Martinson has invested in a two-tone job that has everyone wondering just what she is thinking of. In case you are wondering, those gals at Edens just haven't learned the art of sunbathing. Campus benches and the tennis court are literally swarming with students who just can't get enough of Old Sol's remedy. Frosh Are Some Good; Maybe!! By WALT BAKER Little ones, big ones, short and tall. Standing 'gainst the main hall walls. Floppy coats, turned-up brogues. Why, don't they look like rogues? Who? . . . The Frosh. In Hospice, Edens and even Daniels, Everywhere they're in a frenzy, They gesticulate, arguing with much air. Boy, they, sure look debonaire! Who? . . . The Frosh. By golly things would sure be drear About this time every year, If no one new around these walls Failed to show up at all. Cuess we need them, Guess We'd miss them, Who? . . . The Frosh. Gruesome Sights Anticipated Soon Have you seen the weird beards? Well, Campus Day is "whisking" upon us . . . only four more slopping days 'til the day we don our oldest togs, sans make up, with a Fiji Island hair-do, or oldest clothes -plus bristly beards. George Jurgens has a head start at beard growing. He never shaves until his whiskers scratch his ears, and Campus Day caught him in the final stages. I want to warn you By CHAR Good morning- Good Moaning ; Good Mourning That's how it is here at WWC . . . Some love to see their names ia print; others groan, and my mother will be mourning if a few of yrase guys carry out those threats.

Neither had I, until this morning. It could mean any number of things; which one it does, I do not know. It may refer to tennis rackets, which are associated with springtime. On the other hand, it may imply the guff, noise, and racket in this column. It may, however, indicate the slang use of racket— a dodge or trick; an imposture. Now we are getting somewhere, but where? —•— BEARDS BLOSSOM Hooray! The men of WWC are going to give forth with beards; the only thing left at which they excel the coeds. For a week the men will be men and demonstrate their masculinity with growths of bristles at one extreme and eider down at the other. Dale"Burklund's thick, black beard is t h e most potential winner. If Roger Nelson can cultivate a slight growth, he will probably have the blondest beard. The golf enthusiasts have been getting in a f ew practice licks for the coining golf tournament. Tis rumored that Allen Thon almost broke a hundred. Seven men have now signed up for the tournament. Wark, Sivertson, Thon, Burklund, Riddle, Pavlicek, and some character called Currie have all affixed their John Henries. Match play gets underway on the seventh. This warm weather has brought out the Hospice boys; their tennis tourney is going full tilt. Nelson will keep you informed of results. —•— VIKS DARKHORSE Intercollegiate sports competition has returned to WWC with a bang. The Vikings are the darkhorse in the coming Tri-Modern Dance Meet with EWC and CWC. The Viks are after the Winco title this year. The last time the p e w t e r cup rested in our hallowed halls was 1942 when the team pictured won the t i t l e . Coach Muffly is making no predictions, but she d i d say, "We have a chance." Pat Cooper is the standout in the field events on this year's team and Marilyn Booras leads in the sprints. —•— A sports event I will remember for a long time is a rugby match I witnessed between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. More interetsing than the game itself was the crowd reaction to the contest. There was no organized cheering as we have at football games. In fact, by comparison, there was no cheering to amount to anything at all. When the ball was dropped between the two lines at the start of the game, one player cleverly worked the ball back to his teammates with his feet and received a round of handclapping from the crowd and exclamations of "Well heeled ball!" If a team executed a play well they were praised by spectators of both sides with "Well played, varsity!" or "Good play, Oxford!" When a player pulled an out and out boner he was applauded, nevertheless, and the spectators said, "Jolly good effort." —•— AMERICANS PLAY What a contrast was an exhibition American football game between an air corps team and a ground force team that was held the same day. The American spectators were organized by cheerleaders into too madly hysterical groups that gave forth with bloodthirsty yells such as "Give them the axe," with its implications of mayhem. A player who pulled a boner received hoots and hollers of derision. All sorts of derogatory remarks were directed at the referee when he placed a penalty on a team. I t was just like a college football game in the States. As th game progressed, enthusiasm mounted to a high pitch and the yelling increased. An Englishman summed up the reaction of his people to the game when he saicl to me, "I say, I'm afraid there is going to be trouble." —•— POOR CUNDER Our boy, Cunder Haegg, is having a rough time in the United States, came in a slow fourth in the Penn Relays last Week. That transportation he is awaiting had better materialize rapidly. —•— News has arrived of the defeat of Pavlicek's seventh grade track team by Emie Ludwick's Lynden seventh graders. Ludwick's luminaries won the meet 23 to 1. Pavy claims his team would have made a better showing if they had had more practice. Hal Arnasoh, the Bellingham High athlete, was played up by the Seattle P.-I. this week for his pitching ability. He is an outstanding prospect for organized baseball. Arhason is a versatile fellow. Besides being an outstanding baseball player, Arnason is an all-state basketball player, is an all-Cross State football end, is ASB president at Bellingham High, and is on the honor roll.

In the city meet and the county meet he took first place in the 50, 100, and 200 yard dashes. Olden, a half miler for the Campus school, has also shown much promise. He took second place in the half mile in both the city and county meets. He has the ability, and with a little more self confidence should start romping in first. These boys and the rest of the Campus school squad will get a real test of their ability in the coming district meet. Good luck, boys! —•— More good news for football fans . . . Oregon State College has joined Idaho and WSC in announcing their intention to resume the gridiron sport this fall. Graduate Manager Percy Locey stated that OSC would "definitely" field a football eleven. Oregon and Montana are the only holdouts left in the Northern Division Coast conference. —•— Have you noticed how this column wanders and wanders more each week? Well, you would have noticed if. you would read it. Putting out enough guff 'n stuff each week to fill up space gets to be more and more of a chore as the weather gets nicer. It is becoming difficult to keep my mind on writing a column. My thoughts are of other things. (And Pm only three and a half years old!) In other words, spring fever has hit ye olde scribe. Watch out below, here comes one used typewriter! Hospice Tournament more norse notes Near Completion Hospice Inn tennis tournament is now in full swing. The racket swingers have been beating the ball all over the courts this past week and expect to finish the tournament possibly by Monday. The way the tourney was designed, many of the players drew byes for the first round. Tom Riddle defeated Lloyd Jones in a first round match, 6-3, 6-2. Riddle then went onjto defeat Bob Myers, 6-0, 6-1, putting him in the semi-finals against Dale Burklund. Burklund got the semi-finals by a match with Jack Danley, 3-6, C-0, 6-1. Riddle and Burklund will play a match today to determine which one will go on to the finals. In the other section of the tourney, George Jurgens is in the semifinals via a bye in the first round and a forfeit from Jack Graham. A first round match between Walt Baker and Herb Witt will be played off today, and the victor of that match will meet Bob Pavlicek. The winner of the match with Pavlicek will go on to the semi-finals wilh Jurgens as opponent. (Continued from Page One) centered for security from future wars. The 46 nations gathered at San Francisco hope to bring about an organization that will keep the peace. Most of the people of the nation want such an organization, but there are many idealists who will want a perfect plan to come from the conference or none at all. After the last war there were many such people who rejected the League of Nations because it was not perfect, and as a result they chose the other course which lead' to anarchy, chaos, and another war. The same thing can happen again after this war if we are not careful to learn from past lessons. In next week's column there will be more on the San Francisco conference, and I hope to have a Students Sucia Island Bound Sunday, May 13, men of WWC and their guests will embark on the annual Norsemen's cruise. Curtis Borchers, chairman, promises that all who travel with the: group will have a wonderful day. gt; The Sea Scout Ship? Activian is scheduled to leave Bellingham at nine a. m., and will convey the party to one of the scenic islands in. the San Juan group. Weather permitting, a few brave souls may take along their swimming suits and have a cool dip in the salty brine. Tickets for the cruise will be on sale early next week, and Wednesday has been set as the deadline for purchasing them. Details may be obtained from Chairman Borchers, but an afternoon of leisure and fun-making is in store for all who make the trip. Softball Enthusiasts Turning Out Now The girls have also been turning out to the call of spring this last -week. Barbara Caldwell, Bev. Morgan, Iris Bowden and many others can be seen out throwing the soft ball around. Gathering a few iame muscles on the courts have been Marilyn Booras, Babs teHennepe, H e l e n Boyer, Ethel Martinson and Mavis Danley.

I'm a PANSY, and I'm proud of it!" Naturally I was puzzled at this coming from the hedge right across from Hospice, so I looked to see who it was, and sure enough, there was a tall, dark, handsome . . . pansy. Pretty soon a chorus of pansies were just shouting to be taken from their hiding places, so out trooped a whole slew of Edens Hall Prosh, who began dashing madly around the dew bedecked, or just plain wet, campus in search of pansies, for each year the Uppers give the Lowers (speaking of classmen, not berths or teeth) a May Day Breakfast and Pansy Hunt. And the frosh return the good will by giving the grads a breakfast which Miss Powers is always late to. But back to my story! Edens is going to be different this year. Instead of the usual pansies there will be all sorts of pansies that Miss Piatt has had her science class grow. Now available are the talking Pansola, a cross between a phonograph and a pansy, and also a Pansetta, crossed with a Poinsettia for early blooming. The tiny ones are the Pansitas and Pan-sitos, Mexican ones that Donald Duck brought back on his magic rug. The last, loveliest, and livilest are the chim-pansys, which have exceptional expressions on their velvety faces. If you are interested in growing pansies, just enroll in Science 999.

It seems Lucille must have been a bad girl or something cause she got spanked good and proper this week by a certain blonde man about the campus. What was that for, Lucille? Another interesting but not very consistent comment that was overheard at the same time was "It's because I like to hold you." ENTJFF SAID! ! ! THE INNER SANCTUM Did you see the spread that Hospice Inn had last week? Well, we are going to try and keep up the good work. We know the women are just dying to find out what is going on in the InnerSanctum. Hospice was left rather vacant last week-end. A good share of the men, including Dale Burklund, Bob Myers, George Jurgens and Jack Danley packed up all of their dirty clothes and took off for home. The first match of the House Tennis Tournament was played Monday night between Lloyd Jones and Tom Riddle, with Tom winning 6-2, 6-1. The grudge match of the tournament will be played Friday evening between Ping Pong Pavy and Herb Witt. They say they are going to charge 10 cents per person, but sneak around to the back gate and Jack Graham will see that you get in for a nickle. Of course, this is strictly off the record, so don't spread it around. Coach Pavy has been looking rather blue for the past week. The cause: the Lynden team of a former WWC man, Ernie Ludwick, beat Pavy's seventh grade team from the Campus school, 23 to 1. Is Hospice ever getting swanky, or is it? We now have a Rose Room. Pavlicek and Jurgens have been doing, what they call interior decorating. They have big sheets of red paper on their desks and when the light hits it, WOW! It makes you dizzy to walk by so you can imagine what it is like living there. Well, my pen is going dry and my eyelids are getting heavy so I will close my little book and turn in for another night. Yes, another day of rest. Bye now. ^ FLASH— Latest reports show that the old clothes drive sponsored by Blue Triangle pulled in quite a haul.

BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 No. 17 Assembly Mr. Wright, superintendent of Lyn-den, visited the Normal last Friday and favored the students with an in­teresting address. His theme was "The Teacher," and the remarks made were of especial value to prospective teachers. "The three little letters, etc., may embody all the vital phases of a teach­er's life, which make for or against her success," said Mr. Wright in dis­cussing some of the essentials of the profession. He went on to explain that "e" might stand for enthusiasm, without which no teacher can be sue- Enrollment Now 1,599 o- The enrollment for the school year is as follows: Regular Normal, 1,060.

Altho this is a one­sided game the score would have been much larger had the local boys played true to form. At times the Normal players were inaccurate in their bas­ket shooting, but outside of this one fault the game was fast, the guards doing some especially good work. For Vancouver, their center position seemed to be the strongest and best filled. The teams were slow in getting started, nearly five minutes having elapsed before either side scored. Normal shot the first basket and a moment later the score was evened up. However the Bellingham quintet played the steadier and the first half ended with a score of 26 to 15. The second half was a repetition of the first with Normal getting a larger score and holding their opponents to a smaller one. This period ended with, the local team on the long side of a 42 to 10 score. "Ali" Henne's again showed his ability by uncovering an unheard of band. They played a few selections between halves. The crowd joined in the merriment and altogether it was a rare treat. The members of the band were: Craushaw playing clarinet, Mathews, piccolo; Barnet, cornet; George Miller, snare drum; McKinnon, bass drum, and Frances Devery played the piano. The Normal team has now won four games and lost none. They will try to keep their record unbroken when they play Everett here tonight.

But they hardly expect to win the cup, Tho to them, 'tis not unknown. The Juniors and the Seniors, Expect this cup, but—well— The class that is strongest in spirit Will win,—as time will tell! The Juniors have the numbers; And the Seniors have the age; But on these things alone, my friends, The wininng cannot gauge.

Many are ready to verify our statement that it is really the best that the Association has to offer during the year. At our first meeting, Mrs. Colby sang for us, "Jesus Is Calling." The two women, who came from Seattle, were then introduced and after a short greeting from Mrs. Soltan, Mrs. Camp­bell took charge of the rest of the meeting. Her main thought present­ed was "Oh! that our eyes might be opened." This proved to be the key­note for the entire institute. The second and third meetings were held Friday afternoon at 3:20 and 4:10. Mrs. Campbell spoke at 3:20 bringing us her message, first emphasizing "Ye must be born again." Her lesson was taken from the story of the "Woman of Samaria" and Jesus' words "I am the living water" were so forcefully brought to us. At 4:10 Mrs. Soltan had the meeting and her message was the story of "Cain and Abel." Gladys Hamley sang. Friday evening at 7:30 both Mrs. Soltan and Mrs. Campbell spoke. There was special music, a solo by- Ruth Elander. Saturday afternoon was given over to Missions. Mrs. Soltan told such in­teresting stories about her own chil­dren in mission fields and Mrs. Camp­bell also spoke, showing how plainly God says "Go" but we do not obey. Miss Sands sang for us "He Will Hold Me Fast." We feel that Bible Institute has been a real help and inspiration. For those who could not attend we are inviting you noAv to come to our regular asso­ciation meetings Thursday at 4:10. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 3 - Page 4 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 The Weekly Messeng-e-r Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

Among other things that came up for consideration before this meeting was the bill now before the state legislature to introduce mili­tary training into the public schools of Washington: The association went on record as opposed to this bill. This question of military training in the schools is one that should re­ceive thoughtful consideration on the part of every citizen, and it is a ques­tion of special importance to us as teachers. Would military training as COMPETITORS may sell some things for less than YOUR store does, but YOUR STORE sells a lot of things for less than they do. Normal Book Store "Your own store." part of our school course be consistent with the aim of education as we see it? It is argued that the physical training obtained along with the train­ing in military tactics would be worth while. Would the dual organization that Avould be necessary if the military department was to be directed by the government, be a help or a hindrance in the development of an efficient edu­cational system? Let us think on these questions and be prepared to take an" intelligent interest in this movement, which is of such vital im­portance to our schools. A GOOD LOSER TAKES DEFEAT CHEERFULLY A good loser is one who takes his defeat as cheerfully as tho he were the winner. Such a one will buckle the armor on more securely, repair the defective parts, apply the oiled feather to the squeaking places and, with shoulders thrown back and head erect, resolve to "make good." In all the walks of life there are more losers than winners; with the former the scar may be indelible, yet the defeated one will conceal it or, at least, will not expose it. A certain teacher in this common­wealth says: "I never was a loser in the act of obtaining or retaining a po­sition but what I took advantage of the opportunities offered and thus turned the apparent loss into a sub­stantial gain. One illustration is quoted: At one place I was loser in that I failed to retain a position. An­other position with a salary twenty per cent higher was secured and in the vicinity of the new position some land was purchased (just common dirt as is found on highways) which was disposed of at from 100 to 500 per cent profit. Those school district dads have received my sincere thanks for the benefits conferred upon me." Presidential Candidate Hughes, to all outward appearances proved him­self to be a good loser in his loss in the race for the presidency. When he retired at 12:15 election night, he felt certain that he had won the prize which he sought; forty-eight hours later he found himself to be a loser instead of the winner. He congratu­lated his chief opponent for his suc­cess. That Mr. Hughes was disap­pointed, no one will deny; it was prob­ably the greatest disappointment that he ever endured, yet his actions show­ed him to be a good loser. He thus set an example for people in all walks of life, from an unsuccessful candi­date for the presidency to the unfor­tunate one in a game of marbles. WILLIAM BEARDSLEE.

In it, there were no carpets, nor easy chairs, nor luxuries; herbs lined the sides of the spare front parlor, and a poor dresser stood in the kitchen. From this kitchen dresser the widow ate her scant breakfasts, dinners and suppers, with an occasional egg, or, at most, two, to celebrate a holiday. These eggs were laid by Dame Bart-lett, spouse of King Chanticleer, who with him and her six daughters, roamed the widow's yard. Chanticleer went to sleep one night, and close to him slept his dame and Prices Moderate; Five course dinner every evening from 5 to 8 at 60c. Six course Sunday eve­ning at 75c Banquets and Dinners gotten up on short notice. Tables may always be reserved by telephone. Hotel Leopold their six children. He had slept some time, when he groaned a groan and moaned a moan. "Get up! Wake up!" said Dame Partlett. "What ails you? What's the matter?" She shook him, for he was slow to waken. Chanticleer, with a deep sigh, drew himself up and Dame Partlett saw deep, dark hollows under his eyes, and saw a dejected forlornness in the face of her worse half. "I have had a dream," said he. "An uncouth shape, large and yet slender, came skulking toward me. I saw the creature had sharp eyes, perked ears, a long bushy tail, a slinky form and a sharp, pointed snout, withal." "You need a worm," said his prac­tical wife. They went out of the house, side by side, hopping down the steps, and into the spring air. King Chanti­cleer said: "I feel better. I enjoy seeing the fresh green leaves of spring. The morning sunshine clears away the cold from my bones, but I still have a feeling that my dream is a warning." "Nonsense," said his wife. He answered: "I have known of many such things happening to peo­ple, after a dream like mine had warned them." His wife wanted to argue—she did. Then the chickens quoted a little Plato and they went in search of worms. As they scratched the mellow earth in search of its wriggley inhabitants, they were watched by a pair of sharp eyes which peered at them thru the rails of the fence. Far better that Chanticleer had stayed on his beam. The fox skulked in the corner till night. The chickens went to bed at sundown, as all nice chickens should. Then Chanticleer saw a slinking form come in the narrow doorway. He was very startled and nearly lost his equi­librium. He had never seen a fox. From instinct he shunned the pointed-nosed creature as a sailor shuns a rock. "Cluck, cluck," said he in a deep squawk. "Be not alarmed, beautiful bird," said the fox. "As I stood outside I heard a song, as of the angels. I did not intend to come but the song lured me on in spite of myself. It is no won­der you are a. good singer. Your fath­er was also. I knew him intimately." The cock was pleased and accepted this flattery. "And now sing for me," said the fox. Chanticleer threw back his head, shut his eyes and flapped his wings. "Listen," he said; but the fox had him by the throat. His would-be song was changed to a throaty squawk, and the fox was gone, Chanticleer with him. Chanticleer's cries roused his spouse. Her cries roused the widow, and her cries the vicar and so on, till the whole village was in pursuit of the fox; people shouting, hounds baying, chickens crowing. A general bedlam ensued. The cock was frightened, but be-thot himself of a scheme. "Speak to them, Reynard," said he. "You are safe and the woods and your den are at hand. Tell them you are king and they are foolish to try to catch you." The fox obeyed, but no sooner had he opened his mouth than the cock was loose and had flown into a maple by the side of the road. The fox was very foxey and thot by soft words to again win over the cock. So, "Come down," said he. "Let us treat this matter peaceably. I only meant to take you over to my house for dinner. I should have been much pleased to have had you there. I only meant to frighten you a bit that you might enjoy the dinner the more. For 'Sweet is pleasure after pain,'" said he, quoting a little Dryden. "Nay," said the cock, "only idiots are fooled twice. We shall consider the peace movement, but I'll stay right here the while we consider it. We shall follow the policy of watchful waiting."

"Or, better still, Lieutenant, exter­minate the lot." "I can hardly hold the men in check, sir." Aye, the brave lads! They are as anxious as you and I to get at the beasts." A hurry of British shells pour death into the German lines. A lull, then the khaki-clad troops clamber out of their positions in a mad charge. At the brink of the assaulted trenches the captain impales a German ma­chine gunner on his sword. The im­petus of the thrust throws him head­long into the trench, where, striking his head on the hard-trodden floor, the lies stunned. When the captain regains his senses he hears the groans and shrieks of the wounded. To this he pays little attention; many times before has he heard the aftermath of battle. As he looks eagerly about him he sees sol­diers administering to the wounded and reconstructing the shattered trench, and as he recognized the men thus busily engaged as his own, across his face flashes a smile, grim and ex-hultant. However, a gasp directly at his feet attracts his attention. It is the dy­ing struggle of the German soldier whom he has pierced with his sword. In the man's hand is a piece of paper. "Military secrets, perhaps," exclaims the captain, as he snatches it up. The paper written in German, is sploched with blood and dirt. He laboriously makes out the following: " your furlough. "Every evening I watch little Dora run to the corner to meet you, as she used to do when you would return from the factory. 'Why doesn't papa come home?' she asks as she looks up wide-eyed into my face. Then I say to her: 'Run along and play, dear; papa will soon be home.' Then I turn away to hide my tears. "But you WILL, be home soon now. And tho you can stay with us but ten short days, how happy * * * * I will mail this tomorrow * * * I rejoice in tomorrow, for it brings you one day nearer to Your loving, GRETCHEN AND DORIS." "Hurrah, Captain!" said the lieu­tenant, striding up, "a magnificent vic­tory!" But the man addressed made no answer. The lieutenant observed Mm kneel down and tenderly place a discolored bit of paper on the body a fallen enemy.

A committee reported Mr. Hall and. Mr. Brown as desirable photographers for our Klipsun work. After much dis­cussion, a vote was taken and Mr. Brown was chosen. He will give us the glossy print for seventy-five cents and, judging by his past service, we can be sure of good work from him. Because of her new position as Bdi-. tor of the Messenger, Mrs. Shepherd resigned her position as Associate Ed­itor of the Klipsun. Applications were called for and Bernice Welch, the edi­tor- in-chief, will choose her new as­sistant. Dr. Herre has had many calls for lectures from outlying districts, but the result of over-exertion followed by illness prevented the fulfillment of his-plans. No one can say that our assistant librarian is not up to date. Miss Sands has just purchased a splendid new automobile. Miss MacKinnon, of the registrar's department, is now back at her work after a week's detention at her Lynden home owing to illness. Miss Baxter's new observation sched­ule is hot from the press. Mr. Bond will lecture before the citizens of Santa Fuga and Pilchuck, Thursday and Friday. Mr. Parish entertained Dr. Herre Monday night. The impassable con­dition of the roads prevented the Doc­tor from his customary auto trip home.

HOW I BECAME A TEACHER (Continued from page i) I was one of those chidlren that all teachers know, precocious in book learning and childish socially. I was occustomed to being in a class of what seemed to me to be men and wo­men. Late one afternoon, in the shadows of the empty halls, one of the boys, to my utter amazement, asked me to go to the next social with him. I loathed sociables. I gasped and said "yes," because, like Aunt Jemima, I didn't know what else to say. I spent the intervening days trying to forget the coming horror. In my mind I settled one thing. If I lived through this experience, I'd have my wits about me and never, never, never say "yes" again. The evening passed and, in my judgment, was an evening of superlative stu­pidity. When the boy, in the innocence of his heart, proposed enthusiastically that we go to the next sociable to­gether, I was ready and replied sweet­ly that I didn't care to. Notwithstanding my inauspicious beginning in this uncatalogued depart­ment of college curriculum, I added to my college course and to my course in music a very comprehen­sive course in this department, with considerable very satisfactory post graduate work. I look back upon all three lines as being of great value to my profes­sional career. I was very patriotic. One day I saw a squad of college boys going down to vote. The leader was one of my chums. He was just twenty-one and going to cast his first vote for presi­dent. They shouted and swung their hats with enthusiasm. It thrilled me as I witched them. I was a better stu­dent than he, could beat him in an ar­gument and loved my country, but when I would be twenty-one I would not be allowed to vote. The thought gave me actual physical pain and it rankled until we won the vote here in Washington. The year after graduation I taught my first school—a little country school three miles from town. Things moved placidly and I could have had the school the next term if I had wanted it, but when I think of that term of work I am always tender hearted towards the poor teacher. I boarded at home during that term and mother took me to and from school in the carriage. On these drives we began definitely my study of bird songs. I had a chance for extraordinary work in nature study, due to my won­derful progressive mother. She had a genius for enjoying outdoor life. She made our home of five acres one of the first bird sanctuaries in the United States. Families of every bird of the prairie nested at Pinewood and we fed and protected them. In addi­tion to the choice stock from the nursery we collected for these five acres every plant, shrub and tree pos­sessing landscape value that we dis covered in our drives. There was al­ways a spade under the buggy seat for emergencies. Then we also had a pond stocked with fish. We could pick up the young ones in our hands if we fed them. If you think there is nothing to see in such a place, watch a parent cat-fish taking care of its young in an overstocked pond! One of our family pleasures in the hot summer days was to drive to the river and have a sunrise breakfast, after which mother and father would fish, my sister would sketch and I would moon about under the trees, botanizing and writing. I had not once given up the plan to be a writer. When we moved to the new town I began teaching in the schools, but I always expected to quit teaching when I had made my success. I read, read, read and wrote. I should have turned it about. The sum­mer I studied Darwin and Emerson was a landmark in my life. When I closed Darwin's "Origin of Species" I felt as though I had just been granted a glimpse into the workshop of God, while Emerson was a spiritual revela­tion to me. I taught with enthusiasm; poured all that I could of my outside studies. "Costly thy habits as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, or gaudy; For the apparel oft' proclaims the man." Shakespears advice is thoroly followed in these new ESJSSFT* Trimmed Spring Hats The simplicity of outline which dominates in the spring models, was seized upon as an opportunity to give individuality and distinction to them by means of rich materials.

I wanted to see the world. 1 wanted to go West, where they paid better salaries and life was worth while. The family could not understand how I could want to live in a dreary boarding house among strangers and teach in preference to living at home and teaching. And I couldn't tell why, either. I only knew that I did. It was the urge of individuality. It is like outgrowing one's clothes. We went to California for a winter, but that did not satisfy me. I wanted to work in the West. On our way home we spent a month in Washington, and stopped at Che-halis. Prof. Forrest was city superin­tendent of the Chehalis schools and he and his wife had been my school­mates in college days. I accepted a position in this school and the family went home without me. The West suited me. I felt myself expanding mentally. Besides teach­ing, I accomplished my first little suc­cess in writing. But at the end of two years I yield­ed to the pleadings of my people and went back to a position in the old school in my home town. This little bit of success in writing taught me how long it was likely to be before I could make a living in that work. You see, my expectation had somewhat subsided since the days of the George Eliot dream. Then the teaching in the West had appealed to my ambition more than teaching in the East. I did not deliberately give up my dreams, but I temporized. I resolved that I Avould push for professional promo­tion until I had reached a definite salary, on which I thought one person could live, then I would be satisfied, •and take time to write again. It is very amusing how many people have made that same bargain with them­selves. Advancement in work is easy enough in the East, but not in salary. From the first I fretted and grieved for the life on this Coast. I'm afraid I was not very gracious to the lonely home folk about again living in the prosaic East. Panicky financial condition at last pushed me into the freedom I fret­ted for. I came here seventeen years ago and most of the time have been "teaching algebra on the Pacific Coast," according to the despised, prophecy. When I reached the salary at which I had promised myself to go hack to my first love, and take up my dream again, I found myself captain of the-family ship and the limit was not enough. So at last I became in my own. dreams what I had long been to the-world, just a "school ma-am." And really, it isn't so bad, after alL IDA AGNES BAKER. Generally speaking, Merle Austine is— Is what?

How and where Western's budgeted money will be used has yet to be determined, but Western's Board of Trustees hopes to have an allocation plan by August, said Jack Cooley, executive director of University Planning and Analysis. The Board of Trustees authorized the maximum increase of 6.7 percent for tuition next year, Cooley said. In-state, undergraduate tuition is $2,833 per year, but it will increase $185 to $3,018 in the fall, Cooley said. "These are unofficial numbers until. Gov. Gary Locke signs the appropriation bill (which disperses funds), but we don't anticipate any changes in those numbers," Cooley said. The budget does not fund all faculty pay raises, which leaves Western with some problems to address. The Legislature mandated a 3.7 percent raise for faculty and staff members for the first year, but the state will only cover 83 percent of the cost, Cooley said. Western will be required to cover the remaining 17 percent in order to meet the legislature's demand. "This leaves Western in a difficult situation," Cooley said. Western must come up with the additional money for faculty pay raises while dealing with the projected increase of utility rates, Cooley said. According to the Energy Conservation Task Force release, Western's utility rates are projected to take more than $1 million from Western's operating budget in 2001-2003 school years than 1999-2001. Cooley said the budget does not provide for the rate increases. The budget also set aside $31 million to increase full-time student enrollment. Before the new budget, Western was committed to reducing the number of new students to be in-line with faculty and Western's accommodations, because Western over enrolled last year, Director of Admissions Karen Copetas said. Last year 2,480 freshmen and 981 transfer students were accepted. This fall, the target number for new freshmen is 2,250 and 950 for transfer students. County seeks lake's mercury source By Mary Flynn THE WESTERN FRONT In an effort to protect Bellingham's drinking water and Lake Whatcom, officials from the City of Bellingham, Whatcom County, and Water District No. 10 are looking for a way to pinpoint the source of mercury in the lake. "We are looking for a consultant to be looking for potential sources," said Erika Stroebel, resources planner for the Whatcom County Water Resources Division. Stroebel said, the county requested proposals from consultants on how to find the source. "The request for proposals described the type of work so that the applicants can describe how they will do the research," she said. Eight contractors have applied, Stroebel said. "I imagine that we would start the project in two to three months at the earliest; maybe the late summer," said Chris Sudden Valley resident David Burmham sport fishes three to four times a week in Lake Whatcom near Basin Three, which tested to have the highest levels of mercury. Burmham regularly catches small-mouth bass from the lake.

The cost of utilities at Western will exceed the budgeted level by about $600,000 for the 2000- 2001 fiscal year, which ends June 30, said Jack Cooley, executive director for University Planning and Analysis. The Washington state Legislature has not provided budget increases to match increasing utilities prices, which means Western is not receiving additional state funding for the expected $1.5 million dollar increase in utility costs over the next two years, Cooley said. In response to rising costs, Western President Karen Morse appointed an all- campus task force to devise ways of reducing energy use on campus.

The Water Shortage Contingency Plan, a supplement to the exiting Bellingham Water System Plan, was passed in response to growing concerns about a statewide drought. Since March 14, when Gov. Gary Locke made his statewide drought declaration, Bellingham has maintained the advisory stage, lowest in the plan's four stages of alert. 'The advisory mode is typically the mode we're in during the summer," said Tony Seman, Bellingham Public Works superintendent of utilities. At this stage, community awareness about the possible shortage and preparation for practical means of conservation is the plan's focus. He said.if demand for water rises considerably during the summer months, voluntary measures for curbing consumption, such as an even/odd day lawn watering schedule, would be necessary. 'If we have a dry fall, that's usually when we see the lake level drop.' Tony Seman Bellingham Public Works superintendent of Utilities While Lake Whatcom's water level is at target height, the autumn months could make conditions more serious. Lack of rain during the summer and water overuse could precipitate a water shortage, Seman said. "If we have a dry fall, that's usually when we see the lake level drop," he said. Whatcom County Council member Dan McShane said the county government hasn't spent much of its time dealing with a potential water shortage. McShane, a member of the Natural Resources Committee, said water conservation in the face of a drought wasn't an issue because of encouraging current conditions such as lake volume. "Its impact on energy is a much larger issue, something we've dealt with," McShane said. "We've cut energy consumption by 30 percent." The water shortage plan states that out of 36 inches of rainfall that Bellingham receives annually, only five inches accumulate between mid- June and mid-September. The city provides approximately 73,000 people with water from Lake Whatcom and the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River. Lower than normal snowfall in the Cascades and an early snow melt this spring might hamper water replenishment from streams and rivers that feed into the lake. Drawing too much water out of the Nooksack River might also negatively affect the area's fishery resources, something the plan hopes to avoid. If conditions worsen considerably, the plan outlines a mandatory regulatory stage and an emergency stage. Mandatory regulations, triggered by a 100 percent increase in demand, would include the shutdown of any "ornamental fountains" that use drinking water, reduction in watering of public parks and baseball fields, and a watering ban on lawns and gardens that have existed for more than 30 days. At the emergency stage, the plan requires water to be drawn out of the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River at the city's diversion dam. Wading pools at public parks would be drained and closed, and lawn watering would be completely prohibited. Developing efficient usage habits for home and small office use is good preparation for a possible shortage, Seman said. Large consumers of water already are aware of the summer's possible strain on resources. "Generally, the commercial and industrial sectors — metered users — are conscious about their consumption," he said. Seman said he remains optimistic that the drought will not hurt Whatcom County was expected earlier this year. Compared to the 1992 drought, the area is in considerably better condition, although that is not necessarily in the case in eastern Washington, Seman said. County searches for contractors to find source of mercury in Lake Whatcom From MERCURY, Page 1 Chesspn, environmental health supervisor for Whatcom Health and Human Services. The current budget for the project is $100,000; however, Chesson said the organizations have not entered into contract negotiations with a consultant yet, the actual cost is uncertain. Though the project's primary goal is to identify the potential sources of mercury in Lake Whatcom sediments and fish tissues, the contractor would also be responsible for other duties and would be asked to make recommendations for source control once they have identified it. Signs around Lake Whatcom warn women of child-bearing age and young children not to eat the contaminated fish they catch there. "Drinking water is a prime concern with this," Bill McCourt, Operations superintendent for Whatcom County Public Works, said. "People will think, 'If these fish live in the water we drink, what does that mean about our drinking water?"' McCourt said. McCourt also said as a water provider, Whatcom County is concerned about deteriorating water quality. "There have been no measurable quantities (of mercury) in finished drinking water," McCourt said. "There have been measurable quantities in the raw water and the bioaccumu-lation in the fish." Presently, none of the agencies know where the mercury is coming from, McCourt said. "Currently we have not begun any source identification," Chesson said. 'People will think, 'If these fish live in the water we drink, what does that mean about our water?'" Bill McCourt Operations Superintendent for Whatcom County Public Works Officials do have their theories, Chesson said. Several potential mercury sources are possible around the lake, he said. "Landfills such as the Y-road landfills, naturally occurring sediments that could have come from the volcanic activity of Mount Baker or coal mining activities of the late 1800s or early 1900s could have disrupted some sediments and sent them into the lake," Chesson said. McCourt said the recently shut-down Georgia-Pacific West, Inc.'s Chlora-Alkalide Plant was a major source of mercury emissions in Whatcom County. County council member and geologist Dan McShane said he favors the theory of airborne mercury as well. He said he believes the low levels of mercury actually detectable in the lake water indicate an airborne pollutant. He said these mercury levels are common in lakes around the United States. McShane also said he believes it would be worthwhile to inspect creeks that feed into the lake to see if they might be where the mercury comes from. "Blue Canyon Creek discharges into the south end of the lake and there used to be coal mines there," McShane said, adding that he would be surprised if a point source for the mercury was found because of the low levels. Steve Hood, an environmental engineer for the Department of Ecology, said the mercury could come from a number of sources. He said airborne mercury could come from G-P or people breaking florescent lighting tubes. The mercury also could have come from global sources, as people put a lot of Mercury into the air, Hood said. i ^ ^ i S K I i ^ i l i i i K i i i H i i l K i i i i i i S S S S i smallmouth bass 1 The ^festern Front is published twice weekly in fall, winter and spring; once a week in summer session.

Passersby could not help but stop and listen as the sound of an electric violin soaring above jazzy bass, African percussion and electric guitar. Guarneri Underground quartet played its musical world tour as the first of Western's Noon Concert series. Forced inside by drizzling weather, the group dazzled listeners . "Come rain or shine we will always try to bring the music to you," band leader Jeffrey Sick said. Jumping from the beats of Puerto Rico, to a piece that honored one of the band's inspirations, Carlos Santana, the moved its listeners around the world with Bob Marley's song, "I Shot the Sheriff, and a little bit of Celtic magic from beneath the fairy hill. Sick said his band sounds like "the musical version of the travel channel," . Meridith Murray, a local businesswoman, read about the group and brought her boyfriend to hear the show. "I love all kinds of music, especially world music," Murray said. The couple enjoyed the music so much they took their shoes off, moved some table and began dancing to the eclectic beat. 'Come rain or shine we will always try to bring the music to you said, Jeffrey Sick GuarneriBand Leader Children from the Fairhaven daycare joined the couple and those who stayed in their seats were tapping their feet and clapping with the music. Both Sick and the band's bass player, Mikel Rollins, ventured into the crowd, kneeling down to entertain the kids, and engaging the small crowd. Combining an all-star cast of musicians, the band members each bring a different musical influence. Leading the band's whirlwind tour is Sick's electric violin and flamboyant showmanship. "Music is all about language and the best way to learn about music is to listen to people who really now how to speak the language," Sick said. Listening to musicians like Santana and Paul Simon, Sick got the idea for a band that would have the whole world as its stage. Combining his training on the violin and a love for all kinds of music, Sick formed the band in 1994 with only one other violinist. The band has grown since then and gone through a lot of changes. Sick has never held an audition. He found his other band members by talking to people who had a sound he liked. The band members "found each other like kindred spirits," he said.

The Outback? is home to Summer in the Outback - a week-long outdoor environmental education summer camp for children. The camp is sponsored by the Outdoor Experiential Learning Site and Bellingham Roots and Shoots, which is a non-profit program established by Jane Goodall that focuses on children learning about nature. Kids from local schools come each day to learn about and interact with nature. The camp is designed to give kids an opportunity to learn to love being outside and love the environment, said Jessa Friesen, Summer in the Outback camp co-director. "I want them to connect with nature," Friesen said. During the camp, the kids are separated into four groups by age. The campers are aged 5 to 13, and each chooses a nature name like Eagle, Star or Cat Litter, Friesen said. Each group has a theme for the week and is assigned a certain area of the Outback, called a quadrant, to cultivate. Within their quadrants, the campers participate in lessons based on their particular themes about nature. Groups learn about the natural resources within their quadrants and how to take care of them. For example, one group is studying soil while spending time in the garden and learning about what comes from the earth. "This gives them a sense of ownership," Friesen said. The groups partake hi one field trip each day and engage in various activities like a variety show for their parents, nature hikes and. a sleepover at the Outback where theyjhave ca^mjzfixes, night hikes and Evan Mathews stretches his face in frustration while playing a game Photos by Chris Goodnow/The Western Front Galen O'Moore, 9, dips his paintbrush for his painting of a bald eagle. The camp had many arts and crafts opportunities for the kids. "There are so many activities we don't get to them all," said Heather Gosnell, a camp counselor and Fairhaven student. "There's so much to do here." With the garden, performing stage, tree forts and natural arts and activities, the kids love to be in the Outback, Friesen said. The directors ..chose not to apply too much structure or pressure o"n the campers to learn, but decided to allow the kids to be- free in nature, Friesen said. '.'.-'• -?It just "feels so good to see the kids having a good time/' said Kristy Clark, Summer in the Outback co-director. 'It's too bad adults don't get to play more." Clark said Suinmerin the Outback is about enjoying the outdoors and creating a connection with nature. "I want them to make a connection with the natural world and have a positive experience in the outdoors," Clark said. "(The counselors) make it fun while you're learning, and you don't even know you're learning," said Shayla Jillson-Lucas, a camper. Clark said she wants the kids to feel like they belong in nature and not feel separated from it. Along with environmental education the counselors also teach the kids about respect and communication , Clark said. "There's a loss of play and loss of connection with the outdoors and the Outback creates an opportunity for kids who might not have access to the outdoors," Clark said. Friesen and Clark teach a five-credit 300-level course at Fairhaven College that students who want to become counselors for the camp need to take. This is the first year that student counselors have earned credit for the course, Friesen said. This the third year of the Summer in the Outback it has been the most successful, Friesen said. The camp has eight group leaders, two directors and 45 campers. The students met twice a week for listening to environmental education readings, practicing camp activi- Right: Nikolas Kelly, 6, grimaces as he hits a ball at the Fairhaven Outback camp Tuesday.

As camp counselors, the students were responsible for creating their entire curriculum for the week, organizing activities and purchasing supplies for camp. "We want the students to have a full experience," Friesen said. The student counselors turn to the directors for advice on how to work with the campers. They meet every morning before camp to discuss the previous day and what improvements can be made as a group and individually, Friesen said. This year the camp was able provide scholarships to 10 campers with the assistance of monetary donations from Fairhaven College and organic food donations from the Community Food Co-Op in Bellingham. "My goal is to never turn anyone away," Friesen said. Clark said the campers could come to the Outback anytime. Summer in the Outback began June 25 and ends June 29. The camp runs daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The camp is open to all children and costs $70 for the week. Created in the 1970s by Fairhaven students as a place for gardening. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 5 ---------- June 28,2001 SPORTS NCAA II Intramural The Western Front • 5 Western's high school football camp starts Head Coach Rob Smith teaches players about teamwork By Teresa Moreau THE WESTERN FRONT A loud roar emanated from Carver Gymnasium Wednesday as 800 high school football players from California to Alaska attended Western's football camp to become better players. Before campers took the field, the head coach of Western's football team, Rob Smith hyped them up. When Smith commanded a hit, campers were to crouch to their best defensive position until he said to relax. And that is what they did. When the helmets colored red, white and blue took over the football field they were split into varsity and junior varsity teams. The teams will played a variety of seven-on- seven or eleven-o- eleven games. Justin Odom, viking tight end and his teammates instructed the campers on their respective positions. Odom, a transfer student from Idaho State, attended Western's camp the summer before his High school senior year. "The camp helps players get better and get along as a team," Odom said. Another player returning to camp is Juneau High School Senior Eric Tollefson who is an offense receiver and a strong safety. This is his third year traveling from Juneau, Alaska for camp. Tollefson said that he has learned better reads. He said he enjoys camp because it's not about individual talent. "It is all about team effort," Tollefson said. His coach Ray Bradly said camp is a worthwhile because it gives players jump-start on the season. He said he would have brought more players if he could. "It is a great program," Viking tight end, Adam Snel said. Snel has been playing for Western for three years. " T he football camp has grown from 60 to 800 players in the past 12 years," Smith said. Smith lettered for three years at the University of Washington and played in the 1978 Rose bowl. He came to Western after spending five years as top assistant at Renton High School. Now, Smith is in his 12th year of coaching at Western and has been named one Western's Coaches of the century. Smith has lead the Vikings to .500 or better seasons for the past nine years. And his commands for the first day of camp were heard. All day long campers drilled, took hits and kept their heads up. Then at 9 p.m. seniors ran their sprints and got their heights and weights checked. They returned to their dorms in Fairhaven or Ridgeway for lights out at 10:30, when they could finally relax.

Chestnut • 65O-3650 BWESTERN H i WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Campus recreation activities will continue through summer quarter By Cheryl Baptista THE WESTERN FRONT Summer quarter has begun, barely anyone is around, the campus is dead. However, this summer the Campus Recreation Center is offering many activities and classes that are both physically challenging and entertaining. The Campus Recreation Center in Carver Gym is offering intramural leagues, non-credit classes, tournaments and open recreation use of campus facilities, secretary supervisor Katie Stiles said. Campus Recreation is responsible for running Carver Gym, non-varsity team sport clubs and the handling of gym reservations. Stiles said, "the activities get people together to meet new people." The summer intramural leagues include softball on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and soccer on Mondays and Wednesdays. Western students may sign up as teams or the Office of Campus Recreation can assign them" to a team. Non-credit step aerobics, yoga, and Thai kickboxing classes start this week. The classes cost between $20 and $25 and are two or three days a week. Campus Recreation will host a variety of tournaments this summer. The golf tournament will be on July 20, croquet on July 19 and 2-on- 2 outdoor volleyball will be July 16 and 18. Open recreation is also available this summer for tennis, rac-quetball, table tennis and basketball. The open recreation hours of availability and location depends on the activity. Open recreation is for all students, faculty and staff members and allows people to use the campus facilities during designated times. "Anyone can come, everyone is invited," Stiles said. Although there are fewer students during the summer, a greater percentage of those students participate in Campus Recreation activities, especially open recreation. During the summer people become more active and make use of the gym, Western senior and intramural supervisor Lauren Fode said. Sign-ups for all activities and additional information is available at the Office of Campus Recreation at Carver Gym 101, which can also be reached by phone at 650-3677. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 6 ---------- 6 • The Western Front OPINIONS Letters Editorials Tune 28,2001 Summer parking fees utterly ridiculous Summer session has begun. Empty dorms and a few students roaming Red Square mark summer at Western. But one thing is the same as the rest of the year — students still need to buy parking passes. There is never a break for students when it comes to parking. When one drives to campus he or she can see plenty of unused spaces in the C parking lot and campus residence lots. The campus residence lots stay primarily unused during the summer. Instead of parking in these empty lots students are forced to either take an inconvenient bus or become parking vultures and scout for a free parking spot outlying the campus. To purchase parking permits, however, is absurd during the summer. Parking rates are only discounted $10-20 from a regular quarter for a nine-week summer session. The cheapest parking lot is 16CR, which sits next to 21st Street. One should note that it would still be a hike to campus. Parking rates during a regular quarter help encourage students to find other modes of transportation. During the summer, however, Whatcom Transportation Authority buses run less frequently to campus. So, hopping a bus to campus becomes more difficult. Another reason to have high parking rates is to create competition for the spaces. In the summer, fewer students are enrolled according to estimates the Registrar's office gets. During the summer last year, 3,005 students attended Western. This summer it is projected to be the same. Western has plenty of space for students to park. Out of 24 parking lots, students are allowed to purchase permits for only four of those The only detriment of student parking for free on campus Js that people may lose their jobs. The Parking and Transportation Department is self sustaining and uses the money generated from permits to improve parking lots and pay salaries of Parking and Transportation management. If one actually drives in these parking lots they would notice and feel that these lots are riddled with potholes. Potholes that seem to be there for several quarters and never filled. So, if Parking and Transportation Services are unwilling to fix the problems, maybe employees should take a summer vacation. According to parking policy, most faculty and student parking lots are opened to the public to park for free after 5 p.m. The reasoning is that there are fewer people on campus at that time, thus lots are bare. Summer is the 5 p.m. of a regular quarter. Hardly any students are on campus. To pay for summer parking is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

And we quote: 'I think if s the best piece of legislation to come from the dim-witted legislators in a long time/ -Rotto Van Slyke, Bellingham insurance agent on the new teen drivers law Safety first, cell phones second Taber Streur COMMENTARY All too often, our minds are clouded by the, distractions of daily life while we drive. The focus of driving becomes second to figuring out if we are going to ask that new girl in class out or not. We rock out to new music like Linkin Park that gets our ^adrenaline rushing and makes us scream as we drive down Bill McDonald Parkway with the other college students. It seems that the last thing we need in a car is another distraction. Cellular phones have been coming under fire recently because they are said to be distracting to use while driving. On June 25,the New York State Senate set a precedent by banning hand-held cellular phones while driving by a vote of 125-19. A recent poll by Quinnipiac University showed that 87 percent of New York voters supported the idea. The law will be backed by a $100 fine starting in November. 'It seems that the last thing we need in a car is another distraction.'' The New York Ban is a practical safeguard that should be followed by other states. In the current state of technology, with voice-activated dialing and hands-free headsets, the problem of being distracted while driving is easily solved. The New York ban allows for these earpieces, but forbids driver to actually hold the phones while driving. "The banning of cellular phones would lead to far fewer accidents on the road," Western senior Heather Bartek said. "People could and need to pay more attention to their driving skills rather than their communication skills while driving." Bartek, like so many other Western students, said she finds cellular phones easy to obtain, cheap to use and too convenient not to have with her at all times. All of us have seen the effects that cellular phones have on a person's concentration, and how some of us don't need any more distractions from driving. The time may come when people will laugh that we actually had to have a hand-held device. Until that time, however, all states should implement similar bans. This hand- held cellular phone ban would make for less dangerous drivers on the road, which means more lives saved and more girls and guys at the bars and in classes for us all to worry about asking out. How will you spend your tax refund? Tamara Harvey COMMENTARY President Bush has found the ultimate way to gain the affection and political allegiance of America's taxpayers tax rebate checks. Everyone who paid taxes this year will receive a check. The Internal Revenue Service will send out letters telling the amount of your check and when you can expect to receive it. Checks will be mailed according to the last two numbers of your social security number. Single taxpayers will receive as much as $300, single parents who head the household as '(O)ur government did not create a plan to use the money in a way that would improve the shortfalls of our country' much as $500 and married couples as much as $600. Supposedly, this is just the beginning of a $1.35 trillion tax-cut plan that Bush wants to enact over the next ten years — assuming he stays in office. No one can deny the happiness felt as we all anxiously wait to receive our. checks by mail. I will be faithfully checking my mailbox as my arrival date nears. Nothing is better than old, hard cash to spend at will. What is depressing is that our government, did not create a plan to use the money in a way that would improve some of the shortfalls of our country. Schools, homeless shelters and medical facilities could benefit from additional funds intended for technology or research. Is a little pocket change more important to us Americans? Though some frown at the fact that, like most of Bush's plans, the wealthy benefit most from the tax refund, people will be smiling when it is their turn to cash in. We have two options when our checks arrive: We can spend them wisely or consider them a late "birthday present" from the government One must decide whether to spend the check on rent and bills, of a sparkling glitter belt to spice up a dull wardrobe. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 7 ---------- June 28,2001 Opinions The Western Front • 7 Underage drivers are protected by new Law Greg Woehler COMMENTARY The faces of people waiting at the Department of Licensing office in Bellingham on Wednesday looked as gloomy as the weather outside. Most of the seats were taken and about 15 people stood at the back of the room, rolling their eyes and shuffling their feet, waiting for their numbers to be called. DOL offices around the state are seeing a sharp increase in the number of applicants for driver's licenses as teens try to avoid new restrictions that will begin July 1st. The laws aim to make Washington's roads safer by limiting when drivers under 18 may drive and dictating who may ride with them. The laws are unfair and heavy-handed; they punish good drivers as well as bad simply based on their age. They are also completely necessary and justified. Driving is a privilege, not a right. With the possible exceptions of guns and football, nothing is closer to the average American's heart than dri-ving. Manifest Destiny is woven permanently into our DNA; deep down, we all want to be Richard Petty or Mario Andretti. We yearn to expand, explore and travel. We look at driving as a divine gift passed down from on high when we turn 16. But Washington roads are getting crowded and, inevitably, as the population grows, privileges must be sacrificed. Statistics clearly show that teens are the most accident-prone group of motorists. They have more than twice as many fatal car accidents as all other age groups combined. "For decades, auto fatalities have been the number one killer for 15 to 20-year-olds," said Rollo Van Slyke, a Farmer's Insurance Group agent in Bellingham. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, 520,000 teens were injured in car accidents in 1999 and 4,900 teens were killed. "That's an average of 13 deaths every day,"Van Slyke said. One of the new rules says new* drivers may not be on the road between 1 and 5 a.m. without someone 25 or older in the car. Another rule states that drivers between. 16 and 18 may not have any passengers under the age of 20 in the car unless they are immediate family members. If drivers under 18 get two moving violations, their license will be revoked for six months. "It's totally unfair," 16-year-old Jeremy Bonner said as he waited at the DOL to take his driving test. He scheduled his test weeks ago to make sure he beat the deadline. "I haven't even gotten my license yet, and they want to punish me for something I didn't even do. Sorry, kid, life ain't always fair. "I'm a good driver," Bonner said, emphatically. "I get good grades, I don't do stupid stuff. I'm not gonna turn into an idiot just because I have my friends in the car." Van Slyke said he was well aware of this claim among teenagers. "They'll say it makes no difference who they have in the car," he said. "But I can show you time and time again, teens get in cars with friends and it's an accident waiting to happen." Washington is hardly alone in buckling down on teen drivers. In fact, they're late getting on the bandwagon. Thirty-two states have already passed similar laws and 12 more are considering them. Van Slyke said there has been a 60 percent drop in teen driving fatalities in states that already have the laws. Besides making roads safer, the laws may have a slightly positive effect on the checkbooks of Washington drivers. He said the new laws aren't likely to lower insurance premiums for older drivers, but rates might not increase as quickly. "There's no way for insurance companies to charge teen drivers their fair share," Van Slyke said. "It would cost too much. We all subsidize teen drivers." When asked what he'd say to teens who may think the state is picking on them, he said, "The new laws are either gonna save your life or one of your close friends. Are we picking on them? No. The legislators are trying to save lives. "I think it's the best piece of legislation to come from the dim-wit legislators in a long time," Van Slyke said. |l;i||||Pesteni:;;M||| c/o the Opinions editor B^^nraiUiMSH westernfront@cc.wwu.edu m The Western Front reserves the rightto mar and libel.

The ECTF released a memo to the Western community May 29, stressing the importance of reducing energy and meeting Gov. Gary Locke's 10 percent reduction in energy consumption at each state-run agency. According to the memo, utilities will cost Western $1 million more during 2001- 2003 than they did during 1999-2001. The first step toward 'Quick fixes have been meeting the 10 percent , . . ^ gt;at, reduction, according to done in the past; now its the committee, is voluntary reduction. Employees and students were asked to turn off lights, shut down computers and unplug unused electronic equipment, especially during the peak hours between 8-10 a.m. and 4-8 p.m. Along with education on voluntary reduction, Western started making short- term operational changes such as not lighting sculptures at night and reducing heat in each building by two degrees. The second step will be making major operational changes that would affect building uses and scheduling. One proposed idea is extending Thanksgiving break to a week. "I think there were other, better ways of saving energy than shutting down for a week," Western graduate Megan Herink said. "I am paying for my education and I want to get all of the hours and time w i t h t e a c h ers." T h e final step in reducing energy use will be facility modifications. Although it is an important step in conservation, the facility projects will take funding that is not currently available. "Quick fixes have been done it the past," ECTF Chairman Bill Managan said. "Now it is going to take renovations which cost cash," he added. going to take renovations which cost cash' Bill Managan ECTF Chairman MyWestern.com opens this fall From MYWESTERN, Page 1 Larry Gilbert said the goal of the MyWestern.com Web site is to integrate information pertinent to Western students.

Show more1983_0628 ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 1 ---------- Olympia responds Faculty receive salary hike By PEGGY LOETTERLE Western's Board of Trustees, in a special meeting on June 20, adopted a plan to increase the salaries of Western's full-time facultymembers by 4 to 10 percent beginning June 30. It is the first salary increase in 18 months. Inaddition, the Legislature has appropriated nearly $1.9 million to bring Western salaries closer to salarylevels at Eastern Washington University. Those increases f probably will start in September, said Paul Ford, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The Legislature expects us to raise salaries tothat equal at Eastern. We have to figure out how much more money to give for raises in September,"Ford said. Gerson Miller, chairman of the faculty welfare and salary committee, said the committeehas recommended that the additional money be distributed on an equal basis on September 15.Faculty members at Eastern currently receive an average WESTERN FRONT Western WashingtonUniversity, Bellingham, Wash. Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Vol. 75, No. 35 salary of about $30,700, whileWestern's average salary is about $28,740, Ford said. "Even after the 7 percent increase in June, faculty still will receive about $1,500 a year less," he said. Milton Kreiger, head of the American F e d e r a t io n of Teachers at Western, said the across-the-board increase won't be fair to all staff members. "It ismy impression that the people at the higher levels will come out a lot better than people at the lowerlevels. The AFT will look at the salary schedule as a major issue next year," he said. The Juneincreases will be allocated several ways. About 317 faculty members will receive a step in pay—anaverage 3 percent increase—as well as a 4 percent cost-of-living increase. Sixty-four faculty membersalso qualify for a merit increase of 4 percent, bringing the total possible increases to 10 percent. Merit increases are awarded for service above and beyond that required for ordinary step increases and arebased on evaluations of teaching, scholarship and service. Eighty-seven faculty members will receiveonly the 4 percent cost-of-living increase because they didn't want to undergo a review for a salaryincrease, Ford said. Distribution of the $1.9 million will increase salaries by 4 to 6 percent more, Fordsaid. A plan for allocation of the money should be ready by the fall meeting of the trustees. WesternPresident G. Robert Ross said the increases apparently are the result of Western's arguments to theLegislature about the inequality of funding among state universities. Ross said, in a previous interview,that Western students and faculty had been shortchanged in state appropriated funds. Western'sstudent services and, physical plant operations didn't fare as well as faculty in thisyear's legislativesession, however, and will fall one million dollars short on money, Ford said. Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, is working on plans to reduce the effects of the cut, Ford said. Cost-saving idea wins top award By CAROLYN CASEY and VICKISIGGS Although she initially was. facedwith reluctance, Dorothea Kochajda waited six years to prove her method of floor care could saveWestern's maintenance staff both time and money. This month her persistance paid off, winning a$10,000 award for Western and reducing costs by nearly $80,000 a year. Kochajda, building servicessupervisor, developed a revolutionary natural-finish floor care technique that eliminates the need for the costly and dreary jobs of waxing, stripping and sealing Western's 80,000 square feet of resilient tileflooring. The mood of the management six years ago was in favor of staying with traditional floor care,which meant waxing, stripping and sealing of resilient floors, so Kochajda's suggestion was ignored, said Bob Hascall, physical plant director. Last year, when Hascall started work, Kochajda brought her floor technique to his attention, he said. "I was so intrigued by the concept that I wanted to start trying ithere immediately." Her method eliminates past floor care and replaces it with a three-part buffing andburnishing technique. A progression of stripping, scrubbing and buffing pads is used in conjunction witha 330-rpm buffer. Heat from the friction seals the floor surface, producing a hardened and highlypolished surface that never again needs a sealer or a wax to maintain its appearance, Hascall said.Kochajda said she sees this method as a morale booster for the custodians because they won't have tostrip floors again. "Stripping floors was our worst job," she said. Western President G. Robert Ross flew to New Orleans earlier this month to receive the $10,000 national award given by the NationalAssociation of College and University Business Officers and the United States Steel Foundation. "That's not the first idea that Dorothea has come up with for cost savings. Her contributions personally andtechnically have been very valuable to the university," Hascall said. Western's custodians beganusing the new technique last October, Hascall said. "The results were remarkable." He said the yearlysavings will be used to restore some services that were eliminated by budget cuts. The award moneyprobably will be used to start a fund rewarding Western's employees for innovative cost-savingtechniques, he said. Since Western won the award,, several universities expressed an interest inlearning the new technique. Kochajda went to the University of Washington to teach them themethod they now use on their floors. The process has been copyrighted by Western and furtherinquiries should go to the physical plant.

Peter Elich, formerpsychology department chairman, was selected from a pool of 11 candidates. He will assume theposition Friday. Tall and muscular, Elich looks as if he coaches football, which he did at BellinghamHigh School. "He is a highly regarded faculty member and statesman, who will provide strong leadershipfor the College of Arts and Sciences during this transitional period," said Executive Vice President and Provost James Talbot. Elich will serve as acting dean' for one year. The College of Arts andSciences has 22 departments and employs two-thirds of Western's faculty. It is the hub of theuniversity. "One year on the job is too short a time to show your performance," Elich said, "but thenthe School of Education, the School of Business and Economics and the School of Fine andPerforming Arts all have acting deans, too." He said he will make no changes in the college right away."Certainly no radical changes in the structure of the organization that might make things difficult for apermanent dean, although I must administer the College as though I were permanent." Elich said hesees his duties as dean are to provide effective management of financial resources, to participate indecisions for personnel, such as promotions and tenure, to provide leadership wherever possible, andmost important, to ensure that West- Marshy Elich named new heads of colleges Peter Elich, newlyappointed acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. era maintains a solid liberal arts core. "Theleast appealing part of administration to me is the clerical work. Nevertheless, it is a highly importantaspect of administering. The part I like best is working with people as a facilitator — creatingconditions so(' that people can develop their competency," Elich explained. Elich will replace JamesDavis,, who announced in April his. resignation as dean after nine years at the post. This fall Davis willinstruct political science. Elich has been at Western since • 1961 and was first named chairman ofWestern's psychology department in 1972. He is a graduate of the University of Washington, earned a master's degree from Western in 1959 and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oregon in1961. Before West-em, he taught at Whatcom Junior High School and Bellingham High School. He is anative of Bellingham. By DEANNA SHAW David Marsh, of the art department, has been namedacting dean of the College of Fine and Performing Arts for the 1983- 84 academic year. He willreplace William Gregory, who has accepted a Ful-bright award to teach and conduct research at the National Institute of the Arts in Taipei, Taiwan. The appointment, effective Sept. 1, was announced byJames Talbot, Western's executive vice president and provost. "David Marsh is a veteranadministratorwho demonstrated g success while serving as art iS department chairman in the Q 1970s,"Talbot said. "He is a well S known artist with a national and c international reputation." is Marsh joinedWestern's art £ faculty in 1957 after teaching in ja-junior and senior high schools in o Washington andCalifornia. He j§ served as an art department i (X chairman from 1966 to 1974 and again during the1980-81 academic year. Marsh said he plans to continue work toward one of Gregory's majorgoals—better communications between the three departments of the college: art, music andtheater/dance. A number of measures already have been adopted to strengthen interdepartmentalrelations, including the formation of a faculty advisory committee composed of five members from thethree departments, more frequent executive committee meetings and quarterly faculty meetings,he said. Marsh said he is enthusiastic about the future of the college, which currently has 500 to 600majors and 36 full-time faculty members. He said he thinks a trend toward an interest in the arts isbeginning, noting this is traditionally the pattern after a concentrated interest in the sciences.Gregory said although the college's growth has been curtailed because of the limited number offaculty, its graduates are in demand and job placement has been excellent. More than 90 percent ofmusic education majors have been placed. Art and theater/dance graduates also have fared well andGregory expressed surprise at the high percentage of these graduates who are now employed intheir major field or a related area. Both Marsh and Gregory said they are pleased with Western's newbudget. Although individual departmental budgets have yet to be decided, Marsh said he thinks that, with the overall budget set for the next two years by the Legislature, some sensible planning can takeplace. "This is the most stability we've had since the early '70s," he said. Marsh predicted that his newduties will restrict his time to produce art. Marsh's watercolors and other works have been exhibitednationwide and are in a number of public and private collections, including those of WestminsterCollege in Fulton, Missouri and the Instituto Mexicano-Norte Americano in Guadalajara, Mexico. Marshhas a bachelor's degree from Central Washington State College and a master's degree from theUniversity of Oregon. Bookstore remodelling next week By DAN RAMSAY The Student CooperativeBookstore is getting a facelift this summer and the confusing lines and inefficient use of space will soonbe things of the past.

Most of the work will becosmetic, Elliott said, with new lighting, new carpets and additional display space being added to help upgrade the facility. In addition to the new lights and carpets, the Post Office will be relocated to thearea that is now the entrance and the entrance will be moved to the front-center of the building. Also,mechanical improvements and the installation of floor and ceiling tiles will be part of the remodel, Elliot said. The cost of the project was estimated to be about $300,000 before the bidding was opened onMarch 21.

Construction is scheduled to begin on July 5 and be completed on or beforeSeptember 7. When completed, the renovated bookstore will have 20 percent more selling spaceand a more efficient cash register setup, Elliott said. Complaints from students who are forced to wait in one line to buy books and then wait in another line to buy general merchandise are sure todecrease, he said. The new set-up will allow for buying books and general merchandise at oneregister. With the warm weather and decreased enrollment, construction will move swiftly, Elliott said.

Bookstore hours will remain the same upto that point. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 3 ---------- Western Front 3 Tuesday, June 28,1983 Huxley grad program may be offered winter By MARGARETCARLSON Huxley College of Environmental Studies will offer a graduate program, beginning the winter of 1984, if Western's Board of Trustees approves the recommendation by the Council for Post-secondary Education. Earlier this month, the CPE approved the program that has been in planningstages since 1980. Huxley Dean Richard Mayer said if the board accepts the plan, the graduate program will be offered winter quarter. - The graduate program would offer a master of science degree inenvironmental science to anyone with a bachelor's degree in one of the sciences and an interest in theenvironment, Mayer said. He said the master's program is "the most exciting development in Huxleysince it began in 1968." Mayer said the program is the first of its kind in the state. Although graduateprograms in environmental science are offered by other institutions in this region, the Huxley program isunparalleled. Students will have a choice of three areas of concentration: wildlife toxicology, ecosystemprocesses and environmental chemistry, a cooperative program between Huxley and Western'schemistry department. Each student must take a minimum of 45 credits, including a thesis. No othercollege or university in Washington offers a specialized graduate program emphasizing research inthe areas of Huxley's concentration. Mayer said the research students do for their thesis will linkHuxley and Western with environmental problem-solving in the region. Students will research problems such as acid rain, water-quality, the toxic effect of pesticides and development around LakeWhatcom. By conducting environmental research in our community, Mayer said he hopes to attractexternal funding from the state and federal governments, industry, private businesses7 andfoundations. Huxley's program also differs from other graduate programs in the region by requiringstudents to develop their own plan of study. Students work individually with an adviser to plan a course of study to meet their goals. Although Huxley has received about 250 letters asking about a master'sprogram, Mayer said he expects only about 12 students to enroll the first quarter and that eventuallyenrollment may be limited to 25. Alumni's parents give Western $75,000 land By DAN RAMSAYProperty vallued at approximately $75,000 was donated to Western by a Vancouver, Washington couplewhose son is a Western graduate. George and Sara Holzman donated the property, which is to be sold,with the proceeds from the sale used to maintain, improve and further Western's academic programs andactivities with special attention to biology, chemistry and their related fields. Their son, ThomasHolzman, graduated from Western in 1974 with a bachelor of science degree in biology. He went on toearn a Ph.D. in biochemistry and has just completed post-doctoral studies at Texas A M University. Hecurrently is employed by the Upjohn Corporation. George Holzman retired from Shell Oil Company in1980 after managing Shell's Anacortes refinery for about a year. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and wasgeneral manager of all Shell refineries during the 1970s. The property is located in Anacortes and divided into eight lots, Sara Holzman said, from her home in Vancouver last Friday. "It's not waterfront property," she said, "It's primarily a rock with beautiful views of the Canadian Rockies and the Guemes Channel." She explained that her husband dealt with Western on different occasions and he felt that theproceeds from this land would help the school. Since their son was a graduate of Western, theyespecially hoped to help the areas he studied in. "This very generous gift by the Holzmans will provide acontinuing benefit to Western and its present and future students," said Western President G. RobertRoss.

North American Indian photos now on display By DON HUDDLESTON Acollection of rare photographs by Edward S. Curtis is currently on display in the Viking UnionGallery. The photographs are from the original portfolios of Curtis' 20- volume work, "The North Ameri;(can Indian". ' Curtis, who thought the American Indian was a vanishing race, began recording allavailable information about Indian culture in 1896. He estimated the project would take ten years. Afterten years, the enormous undertaking was not only unfinished, but Cur-itis had run out of money. Thelegendary J. Pierpont Morgan stepped in and financed the iremainder of Curtis' research. By 1930 theproject was completed. Curtis had studied more than 80 tribes and taken more than 40,000 pictures.The 20-volume set collected dust for 40 years after it was published. In 1971, the Pierpont Librarypresented a major exhibition pf Curtis' work. Curtis, who died in 1952 at age 84, was finallyrecognized. Nearly all of Curtis' exposures were made on glass or copper plates. The portfolios wereprinted on a special Japanese vellum, a fine parchment made of animal skin, and are in surprisinglygood condition. The Curtis exhibit is taken from the collection of Louis Flury and Company's Edward S.Curtis Gallery in Seattle.

TheLegislature's recent injection of $1.9 million into the pocketbooks of Western's faculty will bring Westernone step closer to its goal of achieving parity with Eastern Washington University. More importantlyperhaps, faculty members will receive long-awaited raises. Administrators, faculty members and students who have spent long hours in Olympia convincing budget-weary lawmakers that Western deserves atleast equal funding among the regional universities now have seen their efforts pay off. The additionalmoney specially earmarked for Western's faculty is the direct result of Western's pitch to legislatorsabout the inequality of funding among state universities. Meanwhile, beleagured faculty memberssubsisting on salaries rapidly losing the race with inflation now have salaries that are — gasp, puff —lessening the distance. Not only do the salary boosts offer financial support, but moral and practicalencouragement as well. Legislators have recognized Western's unequal financial status by backing whatis any university's most vital resource: its faculty members. On the practical side, additional money willenable Western to attract exceptional instructors to its classrooms, as well as retain the outstandingmembers of Western's faculty. The salary increases are a good sign. At least we know that someonedown there is listening to someone u p h e r e . . . . In the meantime, however, this might be a good timefor students to ask their professors for a loan Get those cards and letters in Western's summerquarter hosts attendees from all levels of education, from freshmen through graduate students to teaching professionals come back for a few more credits of brushing up and fleshing out. Summer quarter, withabout one-third the enrollment of a traditional academic quarter, could perhaps be compared to a seminar class with the possibilities of discussion and close interaction enhanced by the smaller numbers ofstudents. A potentially valuable forum for ideas — easily accessible and widely read — is the Frontletters column.

Guest commentaries are welcomed.Graphic by Robin Henley Beyond hearse curtain The boy's parents had mixed feelings about the hearse. Norman, the boy's father, knew his youngest son was prone to take on outrageous endeavors, andhoped Brian's obsession with the rather conspicuous vehicle would fade like the rest of his childhoodprojects. A scarring childhood experience involving a \ grandmother and a hearse caused the boy'sstepmother to be a bit wary of the 15-foot automobile parked behind her home. Both parents agreedthe coffin containing the skeleton of the old Indian woman had to go. The back porch was no place tostore a body, they said, and the car's former passenger was left to fend . for herself at the local haunted house. It wasn't that Brian was obsessed with death; on the contrary, he looked upon thepermanent sleep with great amusement, and treated the subject accordingly. Girls reluctant toenter the "deathmobile" were reminded that they eventually would take their last ride in one anyway.People who would marvel at the notoriety of the car and question the sanity of the driver , would beacknowledged with a Gordon Weeks Editor shrug and "it gets me around." But the car wasn't meant to t r a n s p o r t chicken-hearted females or gawky passersby. The , hearse was purchased from aHalloween haunted house to amuse Brian and his friends, and if gas was in the mammoth tank,everyone from the-girl at the McDonald's drive-in window to the local baseball team would be theirvictims. The sight of a black-curtained funeral car has strange effects on people. Most conjure images of Herman Munster or Edgar Allen Poe; a youngster, figuring this rare-looking automobile was of someimportance, saluted it. Death is the Great Unknown, and everyone wants to know what has lurked (or islurking) in the back-end of the over-sized Cadillac. But a hearse is nothing but a hollow symbol of death,a post-mortality formality. It doesn't matter to most whether the car is empty or not — to symbol-conscious Americans, the black car represents nothing but the Big Sleep and other nasty things. Briangets a kick out of watching others becoming disjointed by his flippant attitude toward a vehicle theybelieve should be treated solemnly. Other people try to raise reactions from folks by flashing emblemsthat bring rise to other feelings. The swastika, one of the ultimate signs of evil, is bound to producesome response. The cross, a symbol of both suffering and salvation, is another rouser. Some animalshave gained connotations, including the dove (peace), the owl (knowledge), the raven (evil) and thealligator (wealth, when applied to clothing). Even colors symbolize moods and imagery: white is pure,red fiery and pink fey. So what does all this have to do with a boy and his hearse? The black car, thesymbol of death, carries lighting equipment, the making of illumination. But no one thinks, or dares, tolook beyond the curtains. Words muddle intent The halls of academia, the filings of a governmentbureaucracy, two friends in a coffee shop — ail use the same raw resource: words. Language is oneof the elements that turned man from a monkey with a big head into a hairless ape with small teeth.Language has been a powerful friend; yet it is capricious enough to cause great friction, too. "I mean,you know, like . . ." How many times have you heard that and mentally slapped the speaker? Afundamental and.useful skill, communication is a great responsibility. Words can be fun andeducational. They can start wars, and, ' generally, end them. Words put men on the moon and a tigerin your tank. Words can hide as well as inform. How many times do you get an illuminating flash ofTruth, but bust caps trying to get the . basics across to your neighbor? We've taken it a long way, but.basically language is hideously inefficient. You gotta make the Shaun McClurken Opinion Editor bestof what you've got. Really clever operatives can use language's shortcomings to their advantage,directing perceptions as they choose: In a simpler time, the Department of Defense was known as theDepartment of War; the nuclear industry made friends last decade by devising phrases such as"energetic disassembly" to soften the impace of such cruel realities as explosions in power plants.Guard yourself. Political, commercial and religious tracts in particular are given to verbiage with highemotional reflex and shadowy definition. Here's a sample list of words to always distrust if clarification is not forthcoming: • rights, peace, free • it, them • liberal/conservative, left/right • religion •relationship • any word ending in -ism, -ize, -ist; any word or phrase originating in California or agovernment organization. Twisted people can come up with twisted speech patterns: Ron Ziegler,President Nixon's press secretary, admitted at a press conference the administration had lied at anearlier press conference with "Our previous statements are now inoperative," and President Reagan,whose administration has raised not saying what you mean to dizzying new heights, has dubbed theMX intercontinental ballistic missile — by design the world's deadliest weapon — the"Peacekeeper." He wants you to know what he wants you to think. On a more mundane, day-today level, two phrases to beware this summer are: • "Now Only (dollar amount)" • "Plus Co-hit (movietitle)." ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 5 ---------- • Western Front 5 Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Senate bill passes; tech expansion due After years ofencouragement by the state Legisla- ~ ture, Western's technology department has plans to expand thisfall by offering classes in north Seattle. Clyde Hackler, coordinator of the new program, said he isreasonably confident the program will consist of three upper-division technology courses per quarter. Theclasses may be taught at Shoreline Community College because it has the equipment needed foradvanced machine-tool technology. This class, and other upper-division courses applicable to industrialtechnology degrees, currently are not available to students in Seattle. Since 1969, the Legislature hasbeen interested in expanding technology programs at all of the state's regional universities, Hackler said.In a 1979 state Senate resolution, legislators became more interested by stating that the threeuniversities had to extend their technology programs to previously unserved areas, he said. CentralWashington University was the first to comply with the resolution after it developed an in-house funding in 1982. Classes were offered in the Tri-Cities through Central's technology department. Western, however, had problems finding resources to offer the courses. Now, due to the recently passed Senate Bill3155, funding is available to all regional universities. The funds will go primarily toward paying instructors' salaries, Hackler said. Students will be charged an extra fee to pay for classroom rental and equipmentcosts, in addition to regular tuition. Instructors probably will be chosen from the Seattle area inindustry- government and education. Hackler, who recently stepped down as Western's technologydepartment chairman, will work part-time as the coordinator of the new program and will instruct part-time on Western's Bellingham campus.

As we shared our individual riding preferences, the sky, through the tiny tavern windows, became grayer. "I think it's going to sprinkle. Oh, well," victor Madrazo, 32, said. Like the third, member of ourhappenstance riding trio, Robert Ashworth, 28, victor still was game. But the weather would shorten theride for us. Funny, in Bellingham, a lot of bike rides get sprinkled on. Oh, well. We decided to take inthe forest scenery and bayside views on Chuckanut Drive Besides being beautiful, it's only a fifteen-minute dash to Tony's Coffee House (compensation for a likely drenching) from Larabee State Park,the midpoint on our 12-mile roundtrip. As we sipped our beers, Robert suggested we ride on theInterurban Trail, which parallels Chuckanut Drive, instead of taking the roadway. "Why not the road?"Icountered. "There's a lot of crummy corners on Chuckanut. It's a lot safer on the trail," Robert explained. Victor nodded appreciatively. Five minutes after leaving the tavern, we took our first break at the lookoutabove Boulevard Park. On the dock, below us, several teenagers were fishing. Half a dozen bicycles,and a dozen people dotted the grass fields. A soupy mist made the bay look sensuous. It's no wonderthat some folks never bike further than Boulevard Park, I thought. As we continued on Boulevard to Fair-, haven, staying within the stripped bike! lajne, I asked Robert what kind of bicycling-experiences he hadhad. "A few weeks ago I rode on 1-5 to Peace Arch Park (20 miles north) and I really enjoyed it. There'sall that shoulder just for me/like on Boulevard," Robert said. I asked victor the same question. "I just ridearound town," he answered. Robert, appearing ponderous, energized the mobile conversation. "I'm kindof philosophical about bicycling. I look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoy it. and Iwaited at the top and sucked oranges. I scanned the vegetation around us for a place to throw theorange peels and recognized the familiar Chuckanut vegetation: alders and maples, an occasionalevergreen, lots of huge ferns, and a glacial boulder, blanketed with thick, bright green moss and babyferns. My peripheral vision spotted something I hadn't expected. A horse dung. It was fresh."HorsedungTlsaidtoRgbert. TVr^BrTaqJ^m/oSop^ look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoyit. And I get lots of exercise." And I get a lot of exercise," Robert explained. We passed up a stop at the Fairhaven district, but couldn't resist the rose garden at Fairhaven Park, which marks the beginningof Chuckanut Drive. A few hundred feet south, at the playfield, 50 persons were watching a softball game, despite the constant rain. Rain? What rain? A few hundred yards past the park is the biggest hill weencountered. Patrick Vala, in The Whatcom County Bike Book, describes the hill as moderatelydifficult, an elevation gain of 150 feet over a few. hundred yards. "Oh, that monster hill," Victor mumbled. A brisk downhill run led us to the turnoff for the Interurban Trail, California Street, a hundred feet past theChuckanut Store. The California Street hill is less than a hundred feet long, but also is very steep., victor walked his bike up the hill; Robert. "I see horses here sometimes. But mostly joggers. I don't mind that," Robert said, meaning the defecation. "It's just the dogs. They chase me. There's a few houses along the trail. The first leg of the trail was a sharp downslope. I discovered one disadvantage of bicycling on thetrail: loose gravel can throw a bicyclist if he's not careful. My companions recognized this, too. We rodeslowly, but the pace seemed to match the calm, solemn mood of the forest. Along the trail weencountered two fairytale waterfalls and several large sandstone cliffs, revealing glacial folding typical of Chuckanut rock. After an hour we stopped a mile short of Larabee Park, where we were to drop toChuckanut Drive, victor and I were ready to head back It was beginning to rain even harder. Robertreminded us of the promised views of Chuckanut Bay and the San Juan Islands.; We back-tracked, riding twice as fast as we came. Gravel flew from our tires. Damn Gravel. It would be more fun on a bicycle-motocross or mountain bike, though. It took only fifteen minutes to return to California Street. Robert ledus back to the Chuckanut Store and then veered right, a few yards past the store, onto Old SamishRoad. The final leg of the journey, the final leg before the warm coffee at Tony's, began on the south sideof the road, just past the intersection. The trailhead was a tiered, muddy set of switchbacks. We walkedour bikes up. At the top, Robert pointed out a large concrete slab that jutted from the natural landscape. "The Interurban Trail used to be the old railway. It went through to Seattle," Robert explained. The finalmile or so of the trip was different than the previous section. The path was narrower and cut throughovergrown fields dotted with apple trees (at this writing the apples were a few inches across). Weraced past the wet fields until we reached Valley Parkway where it meets 24th Street. As we began tonegotiate traffic, on the way to Tony's, Robert's mood became more somber. Those cars were intrudingagain. At Tony's the thought of crisp apples, which would be ripe early this year, floated in and out of my mind, as I sipped coffee. Images of the mist over the bay and the foothills, green forest and waterfallsand a snapshot image of dew condensed on a maple leaf all decorated my imagination. Then, Iremembered, it hadn't been raining for some time. Somewhere between California Street and Tony's ithad stopped raining and no one had bothered to mention it. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 7 ---------- Western Front 7 Tuesday, June 28,1983 m The Stratton family already knew the wine-producingpotential of the land when they began growing grapes in the Nobksack Valley. The lush river valley,protected by Mount Baker and other surrounding peaks, provided the ideal growing conditions forWhatcom County's only winery. "The area has had a long history of having good ground," horticulturistJim Hildt said. "Al Stratton grew up in Everson, and he knew of the land since he was a kid. It wasalready under our noses." In 1978, Albert Stratton, following a 24-year stint as a military surgeon,began planting his vineyards with early-ripening grape varieties that would later become the first harvestof the Mount Baker Vinevards in the fall of 1982. The company's 20 acres will yield two to eight tons ofgrapes per acre, or 320 to 1,250 gallons of juice. "It's unusual for all the grapes to be grown by thewinery," Mary Taylor, assistant business manager, said. "We like to experiment with a lot of differentwines. Most people use tried-and-true methods, but not these guys." Stratum's interest in wine-makingbegan with the gift of a home winemaking kit from his family. For seven years, Stratton was thewinemaker for the Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Unit of Washington StateUniversity at Mount Vernon. He perfected his winemaking skills and became aware of the commercial potential of many unusual grape varieties from England, France, Austria and Hungary. WhatcomCounty has the same latitude as the wine regions of Germany and the Champagne areas of France.. An average of 210 frost-free k days each year is part of the 1 key to the abundant grape production. Yet the climate varies enough for the grapes , one mile west of the winery to 1 ripen a week before the crop infront of the company; the fruit will not grow two miles to the east. The harvest begins in late August andearly September. The grapes are crushed in small basket presses, the juice flows into work tanks,which • can hold up to three tons of grapes. The juice then is poured into large stainless steel tanks,yeasts are added and the fermentation process begins. The winery uses both From humble beginningsto grand endings. Grapes ripen in the misty sunlight of the Nooksack Valley. This crop won't be ready until September, but in the meantime, a visitor enjoys the fruits of previous harvests. champagneyeasts and a "Davis" yeast that was developed at the University of California. As the yeast bodiesfeast upon the sugar of the grapes, alcohol is produced as a by-product. The steel tanks, the largest2,365 gallons, are full from October to December. The wine is bottled through the winter months. thewine in stainless steel tanks rather than wood, Taylor said. "Wood is a pain in the ass," she said."Every time you move the wine, you have to clean the barrels. We just use wood for the aging process." Oak chips are added to the wine to impart the flavor that traditionally is acquired from oak barrels. Andas one tourist suggested, that's what makes the wine "oak-k." The Mount Baker Vineyards, just 11miles east of Bel-lingham on Mount Baker Highway, is housed in a one-story structure, which serves as a warehouse, production room, bottling room and a tasting area. "It's a small outfit, and we make thebest use of space that we can," Taylor said. The majority of work done on the design and construe-^tion of the 5,000 square foot 5 winery was accomplished by Hildt and the Stratton family. The winery has a 20,000 gallon production capability and currently produces 13,500 gallons of wine. The MountBaker Vineyards specialize in white wines and currently employs 20 different kinds of grapes, althoughthe company is experimenting with 40 varities. Six varietal wines are availa-, ble for sale, ranging fromdry dinner wines such as the Okanogan Riesling at $6.50 a bottle to the winery's own "Crystal Rain"selections at $3.00. They also offer fruit wines made from apples ($3.25) and cherry plums ($4.25).Although the wine is availa- . ble in Whatcom County stores, it is distributed more widely in Seattle.Mount Baker wine is served in Spokane and as far south as Tacoma. Visitors in the tasting room areadvised first to examine the clarity and brilliance of the wine and aerate it by swirling the glass.Patrons then are asked to "stick (their) noses in the glass and take a strong whiff...half of the taste issensed through the nose," Taylor said. The wine then is' sipped to coat the entire tongue and visitors are told to breathe back through their noses to capture the full flavor of the wine. Hildt said he doesn't seeany other wineries popping up in Whatcom County in the hear future. "Everyone will be watching us fora while," he said. "We're a pretty unique organization, and it takes a lot of commitment to takesomething like this on; there's a lot of time and money involved." And what do the neighbors think about having a winery in the area? "It's fun for them," Hildt said. "In a few days we're going to have a largegarage sale, and all the neighbors will come along and drink some wine. "We intend to keep it a smallfamily winery." The Mount Baker Vineyards is located on Mount Baker Highway. From I—5 take ex/7255 and follow the highway 11 miles to the winery. Currently tours are being given infor-.. mally. Thevineyards are open from eleven to sz'x, Wednesday through Sunday. k. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Tuesday, June 28,1983 Summer Film Schedule Sweet Bird of Youth July 11 ArntzenHall 100 6:30 Paul Newman plays Chance Wayne, a gigolo all consumed with his ambition to become abig Hollywood star.

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER NOVEMBER, 1905 THE B. S. N. S.-FROM 1891 TO 1905 THE first definite step taken toward the establishment of a state normal school at Bellingham, or rather Whatcom as it was then called, was the introduction by the Hon. Michael Anderson of a bill providing for its establishment. The bill provided simply that the school be located somewhere in Whatcom county and that a commission of three men be appointed to select a suitable location. The land finally selected by the commission, consisting of Gov. John H. McGraw, Geo. E. Atkinson, and W. H. Bateman, was a tract located on the northwesterly side of Sehome hill between the cities of Fairhaven and Whatcom. The donators of this land were the Bellingham Bay Improvement Co., the Fairhaven Land Co., and the heirs of the Lysle estate. Gov. McGraw vetoed the first appropria­tion for the erection of a building. The first money appropriated was $40,000 by the legislature of 1895 for the erection of the original building. The first board of trustees were Major Eli Wilkins of Fairhaven and Hon. R. C. Higginson and Hon. J. J. Edens of Whatcom. A third appropriation, that of 1897, suffered the fate of the first, a veto, and the building was unoccupied for two years. The legislature of 1899 appropriated $33,- 500 for equipment and maintenance of school. With this money the campus was cleared and fenced, sidewalks built, the building furnished, laboratories fitted up, the library opened with one thousand volumes and many other necessary items furnished. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger The first faculty was installed in the spring of 1899. There were six members, three of whom, Dr. E. T. Mathes, Mr. John T. Forrest and Mr. F. W. Eply, are still doing good work for the institution. The other members of that first faculty were Miss Jane Connell, Miss Avadana Millet and Miss Sarah Rogers. Circulars of information were distributed throughout the western part of the state and the informal opening exercises were conducted September 6, 1899. The opening address was made by Judge Jere Neterer, president of the board of trustees. Mayor Hardin, of Whatcom, and Mayor Clark, of Fairhaven, also spoke. The enrollment the first day amounted to 160 young people. And it is in­teresting to note that all classes and all courses were included in the daily program made out for the first year's work. At the end of the first month the number of students had increased to 230, necessitating the addi­tion of three more members to the faculty. Miss Ida Baker, Miss Catharine Montgomery and Robert B. Vail were chosen. Of these, Miss Baker and Miss Montgomery still re­main. The first year's graduating class num­bered eight young ladies;.graduates from the elementary course receiving five-year certifi­cates were sixteen in number. During the summer of 1900, the citizens of Bellingham Bay provided funds enough to finish five more rooms and to add three members to the faculty. Miss Tromanhauser succeeded Miss Rogers as supervisor of the training school. The senior class of 1901 contained 29 members, the corps of practice teachers about 50. The legislature of 1901 appropriated $93,800 for the building of an annex and the maintenance of the school for two years. The school year beginning Sep­tember, 1901, found the school with a faculty of fifteen members, a much larger number of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger students, the annex built, the laboratories enlarged, the library improved, the museum arranged, etc. Since then the work of the institution has advanced steadily. Each summer new im­provements in the grounds and equipments have been made. The library at the present time contains 8,000 volumes and the museum 5,000 speci­mens. The building has furnished 72 rooms, which include a large auditorium, 3 laboratories, a well furnished gymnasium, fitted with hot, cold and shower baths and dressing rooms, a society hall, a Y. W. C. A. room, library, museum, office, faculty reception room, pro­fessional library and work room, manual training rooms, lunch hall, recitation rooms, and cloak rooms. The average annual attendance for the first six years was 303. For the past two sum­mers mid-year sessions have been held and regular work offered. The legislature appropriated in 1903, $83,- 000, $9,000 of which was used for the comple­tion of the annex. The appropriation for 1905 was $80,000. The most important recent improvement was the building of the new dining hall. The old dining hall was moved to a site south of the annex and more than doubled in size. It now contains a large public parlor, a private parlor, and three living rooms on the first floor, in addition to the dining room, kitchen, pantry and closets. The second and third floors have been devoted to sleeping rooms, bath rooms and a large trunk room. A fur­nished laundry occupies the basement. Each of the sleeping rooms is provided with steam heat, electric light, table, chairs, bed lounge, pillows, dresser, rug and window shades. Other furnishings are provided by the occu­pants of the rooms. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger The boarding department of the dining hall is conducted upon the club plan, and all regu­lar boarders will be given a voice in the man­agement of the club. The lecture courses provided by the Normal have become a feature of the literary life of the school and have been well patronized by the citizens of Bellingham. The cost of the lecture course tickets is nominal. The lecture course includes each year historical, scientific and ethical subjects. The year 1905 has opened very auspiciously for the school. The faculty, originally six in number, are now nineteen. Dr. Mathes has consented to remain with the institution for the number of years for which he was recently re-elected. Mr. H. G. Lull has succeeded Miss Tromanhauser as supervisor of the training school. Miss Sperry, Miss Miller, Miss Gray and Mrs. Smith are also new teachers. In every department the work is being carried on vigorously and thoroughly. The rapid progress of the school may well be considered remarkable, but several condi­tions have combined to make it possible. Among these should be mentioned the need which was felt in the western part of the state for a normal school, and the harmony which has always existed between legislature and trustees, trustees and faculty, faculty and students, and, last but not least, the kindly support given by the people of the state. "06." A POEM The fabled muses are again loose on earth and have been haunting the halls of our "Majestic Normal,"1 as the following eulogis­tic- elegy or elegystic-eulogy would indicate. The author, although not an expert in "feet" and "metre," has the true poetic spirit and is un-erring in his (?) choice of lofty themes. Oh, what is so rare as Dr. Jack ? There are dozens of girls upon his track, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 And his modest cheek turns a dainty red Whenever he hears a woman's tread; For he knows that Cupid with his darts Is searching for tender and manly hearts. So his maiden heart beats high with fear When assembly hour is drawing near. With trembling limbs he mounts the stage, This martyr of the Schlolastic Age! And the kindly curtain shields his face From a hundred women's brazen gaze. Was man e'er known to suffer so? Cans't 'magazine a heavier load of woe Upon a mortal here below ? It may ne'er be sung, and may ne'er be said, The burthen of this kinky head. But when this modest man is dead And all his eulogies are said, I pray thee come and drop a tear Upon his sweet, untimely bier; And read these words— There lieth here one whom the world too rudely pressed, A man with all the charms possessed But his sweet young life was worn away, And his sunny curls turned an early grey, Because the unfeeling world would look At his charming face. So the sweet flower drooped 'neath the scorching Sun And Dr. Jack's short race was run. SIRIUS SOCIETY NOTES AIMS OF OUR SOCIETY As we are beginning a new year and many of us are new to the work of the S. L. S., it is fitting that we discuss briefly the ends to­ward which we, as a unit and as individuals, are working. It should be remembered that first and foremost, we call ourselves a literary society. Let us then be in fact a literary society, our object being to raise literary ideals of our members by teaching apprecia­tion of, and by encouraging the production of literary gems. (?) Do not smile, kind reader, diamond cutting takes time and who will say what talent is to be found within the Sirius Literary Society ? There is hardly one of us but what feels, constantly, an inability to express thought in a clear, concise, logical sequence. Our so- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger ciety, by giving drill in debating, impromptu speaking, etc., tries to help its members to a more complete mastery of their mother tongue. This is a result well worth striving for, for upon our ability to use language de­pends, in a large measure, our growth, peda-gogically speaking. The culture of a nation is measured by the flexibility of its language, that is, by its power to express subtle shades of meaning. As individuals we may rest assured that our culture will be measured by the same standard. In close connection with fluency of speech we find fluency of voice. How much may be expressed by one sound uttered in varying tones. Tone lends color, life, soul, to spoken words. Histrionic ability is sought for and encouraged in recitations, essays, etc. We all know that "music hath charms" and we seek them. Many of our members are familiar with the masters, and those of us who are not, attend Miss Moore's classes. Just a word as to the social side. It per­vades the entire work, making a unit of many minds working harmoniously towards the same end. As one, we enjoy our Friday sessions. Officers of the Sirius Literary Society: President Miss Nellie Thompson Vice-President Miss May Sloan Secretary Miss Helen Miller Treasurer Mr. Chas. Jones Sargeant-at-arms Miss Selma Glineburg The first meeting in the year 1905-06 of the Sirius Literary Society was held September 29. The program was short but very inter­esting. Miss Walda Wall recited in her usual interesting way; a piano solo by Miss Allen was well received. Miss Ellis and Miss Lewis rendered an instrumental duet with the skill we always expeet from them. An impromptu debate on the subject, Resolved: That co­education be abolished, was decided in favor ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 of the negative, for which we girls aredevotly thankful, the opinions of the boys to the contrary not-with-standing. We really hope that we will not have a bad influence upon the young men of the institution. THE CLIONIAN SOCIETY The Clionian society this year numbers about one hundred and twenty-five members, of whom fifty-five are new students, whom we are glad to welcome. The society is plan­ning to do some strong work this winter, though as yet there have been no carefully prepared programs, owing to the lack of time and the election of a new program commit­tee. The officers of the society for the first quar­ter are as follows: President Miss Judith Hawes Vice-President Miss Lena Smith Secretary Miss Isabelle Holt Treasurer Mr. R. A. Moore Sargeant-at-Arms Miss Minnie Osberg Reporter Miss Mildred Wilson Pianist Miss Floy Sullivan Program Committee Miss Whitaker, Chairman, Miss Pearl Perine, Miss Frankie Sullivan, Miss Tressie Flesher, Miss Minnie LeSourd. THE YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB At a special meeting of a few members of last year's Debating Club, it was decided to carry on the work of the club. As only a few members had returned to school an invita­tion was extended to all the new young men to become members. A few accepted the in­vitation and signed the constitution. This increased the membership to sixteen of the most active young men in school. At the same special meeting the following officers were elected for a term of one month: Mr. Nichols, president; Mr. Cory, vice-president; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger Mr. Scanell, secretary; Messrs. Smith, Tibbies and Anderson, program committee, and Mr. Montgomery, sargeant-at-arms. The first regular meeting was held the following Thurs­day and a good program was rendered. As the purpose of the club is to cultivate ease and freedom in speaking, debates and impromptus are always given a prominent place on the program. To make the pro­grams more interesting and for the sake of variety, essays, descriptions, invectives, ora­tions, dialogues, declamations and songs are often given. Up to the present time all who have taken part in the program have shown a commendable spirit and if this spirit and activity is kept up we hope soon to be recog­nized as the third society of the school. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of about six hundred student societies in this country affiliated with the national movement. It aims to unite all the young women of the school in mutual helpfulness as they strive to follow the teachings of the Master. By this Christian fellowship it aims to foster and promote the spiritual life of the student body. Through the training in Christian work which the association offers, through the summer conferences and through the help and inspiration received from the visits of the student secretaries and its weekly devotional meetings, it helps to send out of the school Christian women whose lives shall be a vital force working for all that is deepest and best in life. The Young Women's Christian Association is not a substitute for the obligation one owes to the church of her choice, but joins more closely one class of people of all sects or no sect who have the same interests and the same problems and the same temptations as they seek to put into practice the teachings of Christ. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 The Y. W. C. A. desires to be of real service in the school in the way of helping new stud­ents and in being ready at all times to lend a hand. It is just because we students are so crowded with science and history, mathe­matics and language, methods, practice, phy­sical culture and society; because we are re­moved from the restraints of home and thrown upon our own resources; because we are strangers in the churches, that we need this closer bond to keep our spiritual life apace with the intellectual—to keep both well poised, to make them steady in purpose and to give beauty of character. Because the Y. W. C. A. has come to fill this place in college life, it has won the devotion of thous­ands of the best students in the land. The officers of the Y. W. C. A. this year are: President, Minnie Carver; Vice-President, Ethel Cook; Secretary, Walborg Olson; Treas­urer, Minnie LeSourd. ATHLETICS Rickety! Zippity! Rickety! Zap! The Athletic Season is on Now that the necessary red tape of organi­zation is over, work has begun in earnest. The Association officers for the season are: President, Sarah L. Van Reypen; vice-presi­dent, Ray Montgomery; secretary and treas­urer, Belle Holt; athletic editor, Nellie Ap­pleby. Interest at present is centered upon the winter sports of basket ball and foot ball, but until now little has been accomplished in either line. Foot ball seems to be hampered, as various other Normal affairs often are, by a scarcity of young men; but it is to be hoped the ability and faithful practice evidenced are not to be wasted through unlucky circumstances. On account of the heavy study program, the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger Seniors will not be able to take as active a part as usual in the basket ball of this semes­ter, but expect to enter the contest for the Kline cup. Miss Mildred Wilson has been chosen as manager of'06 team. The Junior class teams have been organized and are practicing regularly. Manager Frances Coburn expects to have a good team as there are strong players from several well known High School teams to re-iuforce last year's line-up. The present line-up is: Forwards—Miss Johnson, Miss Pillman, Miss Goldthwaite, Miss Crocker, Miss O'Farrel. Guards—Miss Perkins, Miss Coleman, Miss Appleby, Miss Moyer, Miss Corbet. Centers—Miss Stanley, Miss Sloan. With the two upper class teams and those being organized in the lower classes, an inter­esting contest for the "Kline Cup" is expected. Until the teams are selected and have had some practice no schedule can be arranged be­tween the various managers, but the degree of class spirit now in evidence foreshadows an eager contest. SENIORS The present Senior class will, without doubt, be the "banner" graduating class of the Bel-lingham Normal, for we already have a mem­bership of 47 and there are still others plan­ning to enter next semester, which will prob­ably swell our numbers to over half a hundred. Soon after school opened the class met and elected the following officers: President Jessie Scott Cowing Secretary Lena Smith Treasurer : Georgie Ellis Associate Editor Luella N. C. Whitaker Basket Ball Manager Mildred Wilson Our Senior class have caught the true Bel- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 linghara spirit and although they cannot do much toward the subsidy plan or the electric sign on Sehome hill, yet they can unite their efforts to advertise the town, and that is what they are planning to do. They have designed and will soon place on the market a fine lot of novel Bellingham hat pins. These pins will be just the thing to send to eastern friends for Christmas gifts, for they will repre­sent beauty, utility and best of all—your city. As soon as the order can be filled you will find them for sale by every enterprising, home-loving merchant of the city who carries that line of goods at all. First come, first served. THE CRY OF THE SENIORS Little we ask for our wants are few, Our one great want is now well known Just one very plain little boy will do— A boy we can call our own.—Snap. COME EARLY AND AVOID THE RUSH Old gold, old gold, old gold Or new gold if you will, Old gold, old gold, old gold Old gold is our color still.—Snip. Miss Fogg is developing the word rear in the primary department of the training school—used it in several sentences. Firmly believing that she had performed her duty, she said: "Johnnieyou may use the word rear in a sentence." Johnnie replied—"I have a rear." Oh this is the trial of the Juniors In mourning they wish to be, Are they mourning in black for the white Man Or in white for the heathen Chinee? Now this is a puzzel for teachers To find out what the Juniors be, Can weclass them in with the white Man Or in with the yellow Chinee.—Snip. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger THE SENIOR RECEPTION One of the most pleasant and successful student affairs that has been given since the founding of the institution, was the reception given by the Senior class on Friday evening, October 6. The society hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and made a most attractive and home-like reception room. Two interesting corners were the Japanese corner and the Indian corner. A table full of curios brought by Miss Horner from the Hawaiian Islands and some photographs loaned by Dr. Mathes were of interest to all. The guests of the class, about two hundred and fifty in number, were received at the head of the stairs by the reception committee. Many students and friends of the school were present, but over half the faculty were conspicuous by their absence. Music, rendered by different members of the class, made a pleasant undercurrent to conversation throughout the evening. The program was unique and pleasing, consisting of the following numbers. Solo Miss Frankie Sullivan Pantomime..Miss Krausse, Miss Van Reypen Tableau A Modern Romeo Miss Flesher, Miss Graham, Miss Van Reypen Tableau The Three Stages Miss Glineburg and Miss Peek Miss Krausse and Miss Van Reypen made the hit of the evening in their Pantomime, The Modern Romeo was so true to life that it made the girls homesick. To appropriate music, selected, arranged, and played by Miss Geogie Ellis, Miss Glineburg moved through the three stages in a bachelor's life, "Single Blessedness" as he dreams over his paper, "Less Blessed" as he vainly attempts to sew on a button and "Blessed Indeed" when a little wife keeps him company in the evening. Fruit punch and wafers were served by ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 members of the class in the Y. W. C. A. room. The punch table, strewn with ivy and nas­turtiums, stood under a canopy of old gold bunting twined with ivy. The Y. W. C. A. room was decorated in old gold bunting and golden maple leaves.

ALUMNI A member of our staff visited the Skagit County Teachers' Institute last week and recognized among the assembly the following ex-students and alumni: Julia Argus, Alice Kellogg, Evelyn Kirkpatrick, Loretta 0'- Laughlin, Elsie Ware, Helen and Edna Whit­ney, Gertrude Bigelow, Edith Austin, Myrl Hays, Edith Trafton, Grace Dickey, Josie Little, Lottie Graham, Burton Doran and Mabel Steen. It is the work of such teachers as the above that causes the superintendent and principals of Skagit county to look to our Normal school to supply them with assistants. Institute week brought many familiar faces back among us. Several alumni were seen wandering through the halls of their Alma Mater. Miss Mary McBride, '01, and Miss Hattie Pratt, '02, visited the primary department of the training school during institute week. Miss Statira Biggs, '03, is a senior at the U. of W. this year. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger Miss Elsie E. Ware, one of our elementaries of '04, is teaching another 9 months term of school at LaConner. Miss Ware is one of Skagit county's most successful teachers and ranks high in her chosen field of labor. Miss Mary E. Patric of the class of '03 visited the Normal last week. Miss Patric is first primary teacher at Monroe this year, while other members of the same faculty are Alice Carmen, '03, Bessie J. Lloyd and Annie Noble. They have a fine basket ball team at Monroe composed wholly of teachers. Sometimes when we look over the names and recall the familiar faces of the Alumni we cannot keep the following little stanza from chasing through and through our mind: All are scatted now and fled, Some are married, some are dead, And when we ask with throbs of pain Oh, when shall we all meet again ? The ancient timepiece makes reply, "never." Although first half of the second line seems almost an "ad absurdum" when thought of in connection with normal girls, yet injustice we must say that it sometimes does happen, for example Miss Ida Pillman, '03, became Mrs. W. E. Townsend last June and is now living at South Bend, Indiana; and Miss Anna Risley, an elementary of '04, gave up a promising career as a pedagog to unite her interests and fortune with that of Dr. Geo. Boyd, a brilliant young physician of Palouse. Others have "scattered and fled" to the fol­lowing places: Jessie Jamieson, '05, teaching at East Sound; Florence Sears, '04, teacher at Snohomish; Jessie Lawrence, '02, german and mathematics in Snohomish high school; Lucy Vestal, '03, and Eva Comegy, '02, grade work in Snohomish; Ethel Hunt, '03, teach­ing in high school at Colfax, Wash.; Gert­rude Streator, '02, student atU.of W.; Lillian Burke, '05, teaching at Snohomish; Emma Gruber, '03, is at her home in Winlock—not ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 teaching; Emma Dubuque, elementary of '02, wielding the birch and chalk at Snohomish; Edith York, fourth and fifth grades at Wal­lace; Effie Rear, '03, Granite Falls; Helen Collins, fifth grade a t Kirkland; Bess Darland, '04, Custer; Mrs. Anna Temple, '03, first primary at Chehalis; Gertrude Smith, '03, Everett; Myrtle Alexander, teaching near Snohomish; Ruby Smith at Downs, Lincoln county; Cassie Gifford, '05, a t Robe; Ethel Everett, '04, Custer; and Myrl Hays, '05, is guiding the intellectual development of the seventh grade at Sedro-Woolley. JUNIORS PRAYER Give us of your poise, O Seniors ! Give us of your knowledge, also, Of your power of penetration,— Of your power to see through us. We, as little lambs, will follow Up the path if you will guide us, To the summit of the mountain Known to men as "Hill of Knowledge." We are young, our footsteps shakey, We are weak, our hearts are quakey. You are like the sun above us,— Like the shining orb of heaven To point out and light our pathway Up the Mount of Understanding, To the goal of Normal Wisdom, By your loving grace, O guide us !

We are justly proud of our paper, not for itself alone, but because it stands as a representatives of one of the fore­most Normal schools in the northwest. We extend congratulations to every one who has been instrumental in raising and maintaining the standard now prevailing in both school and paper. It is our intention this year to publish eight numbers of the NORMAL MESSENGER, begin­ning with this—our first issue. We gratefully appreciate the support given us, through our advertisers — for them we bespeak your patronage—without their sup­port we could not publish a monthly paper.

LOCALS In the early part of July Miss Rose Wilson, who did substitute work in the English de­partment last year, was married to Mr. Clarence Heuson, vice-principal of a New Orleans school. The jroung couple toured the southern states and are now at home in New Orleans. Let the watch word of each old and each new student be,—Do your best. During the teachers' institute week many old faces were welcomed to our school. Miss Van Reypen went to Seattle to see Ben Hur; while there she paid a visit to the University. The old students who know one of our former teachers, Mrs. C. N. Chaplin, nee Miss M. U. Myers, will be pleased to know that a baby boy came to gladden their home in September. The hearty congratulation of the students are extended, and best wishes for the health, wealth and happiness to the heir. Ben Phelps and Gordon March, Normal boys of the last year, students of the Univer­sity at present, came up to attend the Senior reception. Miss Ada Hogle and Miss Lena Dodd took a pedimotor trip to Lake Padden one Sunday. The "fierce Kabibonokka issued his lodge of snow-drifts" and made us an unbidden visit one day last week. Everyone but the Cherry Seniors seemed chilled by his icy presence, but nothing short of a "midnight minstrel" can phase a Senior. Miss Edna France went to Seattle to see Ben Hur. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS MORSE HDW. 60. 1025-1039 ELK ST.
