The Bellingham. City Council approved the regulation in June 2002, and it went into effect June 21, 2003, restricting consumer fireworks use to July 4 from 9 a.m. until midnight. "Who's going to really come out and buy more (fireworks) if they can only set them off one day?" said Mark, who is a member of the Nooksack Valley Assembly of God. The week before the Fourth of July is the largest fund-raiser for their youth ministries, Mark said. More money can be made in the one week from firework â€¢sales than in an entire year of other fund-raisers such as car washes, he said. Sue said 35 percent of the stand's profits support a huge chunk of the youth activities the church provides. "Everything that we have goes to our church ministries and is split among the various groups," Sue said. City councilman Gene Knutson said the effects the new fireworks regulation could have on non-profit organizations was an issue addressed, during the council's discussions of the regulation. "There was worry, and there still is worry about that, being (that stands have) always started selling them weeks and weeks in advance," Knutson said. "I think it will all work out, and I JusjinjyicCaughan/ The Western Front Sumas resident Jackie Rhodes buys fireworks from Linda Ruiz, a volunteer at the Nooksack Valley Assembly of God fireworks stand. think more people will buy safer things now hopefully, and their sales will go up and not down." In a June 23 press statement issued by Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson, safety took priority over money raised. "By limiting the days when fireworks may be used, we will increase the safety and comfort of our neighborhoods during the Fourth of July season," Asmundson said in the release. Consumer fireworks, which are sold at licensed firework stands, are the only See FIREWORKS, Page 8 Alcoa Intalco Works employees fear closure By Matt McDonald THE WESTERN FRONT Alcoa Intalco Works employee Carl Ratcliff started working at the Alcoa Intalco Works Ferndale Aluminum Smelter 29 years ago as a summer job and has worked there ever since. He may lose his job because of a Bonneville Power Administration rate increase that will close the plant down on Oct. 1 and will severely hurt the Whatcom County economy. The BPA will release updated power rate figures today. The previously proposed 15 percent dropped to 5 percent in mid-June due to enhanced surplus power, improved water conditions, terminated Enron contracts and budget cuts within BPA, BPA press officer Mike Hansen said. "Our power prices are so high in comparison to the rest of the country â€” and actually the rest of the world â€” and it makes it real hard to keep up," said Mellani Hughes, public affairs and communications manager for the Northwest region of Alcoa Intalco Works. "Any increase puts the plant severely at risk even, if it is a 5 percent (increase)." Alcoa will determine the severance package to employees, and they may have opportunities for new employment and training, Ratcliff said. "The union has applied for a trade act ~~ See ALCOA, Page 8 Court ruling has little effect on Western's admission policies By Natasha Joyner THE WESTERN FRONT For 12 years, Western has used a variety of factors besides race to determine admissions, and is exempt from the two U.S. Supreme Court rulings regarding admissions policies, said Eileen Coughlin, vice president for student affairs and academic support services. On the other hand, for the University of Michigan, a divided U.S. Supreme Court - reached two critical rulings June 23. In the first case, the court found the Michigan's undergraduate admissions policy unconstitutional by a vote of 6-3. In the second case, the court upheld Michigan's law school admissions policy by a vote of 6-3. "I think what is interesting is that the one (case) on undergraduate admission really doesn't have much application for public universities in the state of Washington because of Initiative 200," said Attorney General for Western Wendy Bohlke. Washington voters approved 1-200 in 1998. According to the text of 1-200, any discriminatory or preferential treatment to "any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin" for public employment, education and contracting is illegal. The University of Michigan's undergraduate admissions policy was deemed unconstitutional because of the point system used for admissions. Based on the school's current guidelines, an applicant can automatically receive 20 of the 100 points needed to guarantee admission based solely on race. "We have not solved the problem just because we have let a few people into the institution," said Julie Helhng, associate professor and director of the law and diversity program for Fairhaven College. The initiative still allows for preferential treatment for veterans and disabled people, Helling said. From 1980 to 2002, the number of ethnically diverse students at Western has increased from 338 to 1,772. "(The admissions department) have found that students of color are prepared to be judged by the same criteria as all students," Western Director of Admissions Karen Copetas said. Recording industry plans to sue users of file-sharing programs Justin McCaughan/The Western Front Paul Turpin of Bayside Records said he thinks services like iTunes might be the solution to illegal file-sharing. By Anna Sowa THE WESTERN FRONT The battle between fans of free file-sharing services and the Recording Industry Association of America climaxed when the RIAA announced plans Wednesday to start targeting the millions of people who use these services. According to the group's official Web site, RIAA started gathering evidence on June 26 and preparing lawsuits against users who illegally share large amounts of copyrighted music from any of the "peer-to- peer networks," such as KaZaA and Grokster. The RIAA plans to begin suing copyright violators in August. "The law is clear, and the message to those who are distributing substantial quantities of music online should be equally clear," RIAA President Cary Sherman said in a press release. "This activity is illegal. You are not anonymous when you do it, and engaging in it can have serious consequences." The group has been advising Western once every couple of months for the last five years to stop campus copyright violators, said Kurt Willis, associate director of University Residences. Western students are able to use campus computers to download and share files, but all on-campus computers allow students to access any Web site they want to without restriction, said Rick Nichols, ATUS Help Desk coordinator. "It is our job to make sure students have all the tools they need tp accomplish their academic needs," Nichols said. The issue Western faces is not what is being downloaded but how much, Willis said. "File sharing is not illegal," Willis said. "The issue is: What are you sharing?

The Bachelor of Fine Arts students at Western, however, disagree â€” they named their Mindport Exhibits art show after it. "The Vanilla show got its name because the artists could not think of a name to call it for the longest time," Western graduate Scott Winters said. "It is a joke of sorts because an author said something about all of the artists in the Northwest do artwork on landscapes and how pretty they are, but none of our pieces fit that description. We decided that it would be called vanilla because everyone likes vanilla. It is a universally liked flavor. All of our work is so different from one another." The Vanilla exhibit was on display from June 4 to 29 at Mindport. Western's Bachelor of Fine Arts program consists of seven students this year, all of who presented artwork at the Vanilla show. Winters said the show had mixed media pieces such as sculptures, paintings and metal work. The Vanilla exhibit was the first display of Western student art in Mindport's gallery. The BFA program did not receive any funding for an art show this year unlike in past years. Winters said a BFA' adviser contacted Mindport to get space for a free show. All of Western's BFA students participated in the Vanilla show. Winters and Western students Sheldon Sabbatini, Ruthie Nicklaus, Dinah Daniel, Justin Hahn, Felix Haynes and Crystal Anderson had pieces in the show. The artwork was for sale and ranged in price from $150 for small paintings to $1,400 for the large, metal sculptures. Winters graduated from Western in June with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and creates mostly mixed media and sculptures. After finishing his last year at Western, Winters said he wants to go to graduate school to study art and eventually become a sculpture professor. Winters constructed his sculpture, which is part of a sculpture series he has been working on this past year, for the show. He did not title his sculpture because he wanted people to interpret his work for how it makes them feel, hot for how he wants them to see it, he said. "I would rather make a piece that someone hates than a piece someone forgets," Winters said. Winters described his latest sculpture as a different view of religion and how people create their own gods. He used wire figures and pig intestines to capture the effect of real life. The veins in the intestines make it look alive, and the flexibility of the wire let him twist the sculpture into any shape. Western graduate student Felix Haynes displayed his art prints at the Vanilla show as well. He said his inspiration for art came from his childhood days when he was a crop duster in California with his father. Haynes said that labor in the environment made him aware of chemicals and what they are doing to the world. The title of one of his prints is "Sulfur Dust," which comes from his experience with chemicals in crop dusting, he said. The prints are extremely colorful'and stand out against the neutral tones of the other artwork at the show. "I would like it if people knew what the meaning behind my art is," Haynes said. "I have a feeling that people are interpreting it in a way that is not what I intend." Justin McCaughan/ The Western Front Western graduate Erik Knutzen admires a piece at Mindport by featured artist Scott Winters. Mindport opened in 1995 and is a donation-based organization in downtown Bellingham that displays artwork from artists around the city. "Mindport has a really nice gallery and setup, so I like having my art displayed there," Winters said. "It is nice to get the visibility." Winters said he thinks it is great that Mindport is willing to let Western art students display their art off campus and in the community. He said he hopes it will encourage other areas to display art for free. PRE-LEASE ONE OF OUR PROPERTIES! FOR FALL QUARTERTODAyi DONT GET LEFT OUT!

According to Hodel's new book, his father was also a suspected murderer. Hodel said his journey began May 17, 1999, when he received a 1 a.m. phone call at his Bellingham home from his stepmother, who informed him that his father had recently died. After his father's death, Hodel was given a small book that contained pictures of his father's loved ones. Hodel discovered it contained a photograph of a woman whom he recognized. The woman was attractive, wore a white dress and had dark black hair with a white flower in it. Hodel would later find out this woman was Elizabeth Short, who was murdered in the '40s. "In the book I came across the Elizabeth Short photo, aka the Black Dahlia," Hodel said. "There was about six seconds when I held the photo book in my hands that I thought, 'I can get rid of this.' I recognized early on I had to divorce my personal self from the investigation. From the photo, I started on the most incredible adventure that took three-and-a-half years to investigate." On January 15, 1947, the body of the beautiful 22- year-old Elizabeth Short was found brutally murdered in a vacant lot in,downtown.Los. Angeles. . "This is L.A/s most notorious homicide because of the absolute horror and brutality of the crime," Hodel said. "She was made out to be a naive woman from Medford, Massachusetts, and turned into a gutter whore." Hodel said Short came to California in search for a military husband and was in some ways an innocent woman. The newspapers made her out to be just another dead prostitute, but that was not the truth, he said. Short â€” dubbed the Black Dahlia by friends because of her black clothing and hair and the dahlia she wore in her hair â€” was not the normal murder victim, Hodel said. Her body was surgically bisected, horribly mutilated and posed as if it were on display. The victim's hands and feet showed marks of having been previously bound, and she had clearly suffered prolonged torture at the hands of her killer, he said. Elizabeth Short, nicknamed the Black Dahlia for her black hair and clothing and flowers she wore in her hair, was murdered in 1947. Her death became a famous unsolved mystery until private investigator Steve Hodel discovered the murderer was Photo courtesy of Steve Hodel. his father. "Her body was drained of blood, washed clean, and the two portions were posed in a unique position," Hodel said. "Posing occurs in less than 1 percent of all homicides â€” that in itself is rare." Hodel said the editor of the San Francisco Examiner received a phone call on Jan. 23, 1947, from a man who claimed to be the Black Dahlia killer and said he would send the editor of the paper some of her personal belongings. Two days later, the newspaper received a package containing items from Short's purse: her identification card, her birth certificate, her social security card and her address book with a few pages torn out. "This was the last big story in print before television," Hodel said. "It was headlines in L.A. for 30 days in a row." In the weeks to follow, Hodel said the self- professed killer sent notes to the police and the press that said "Catch me if you can" and "Dahlia killing justified." Hodel said his father met and began a romance with Short in 1944. Hodel said his father discovered Short had been dating other men in Dec. 1946, and physically assaulted her. Short then fled to San Diego and remained in hiding until Jan. 9, 1947. Six days later, Short was found murdered after returning to Los Angeles and various witnesses seeing her with Dr. Hodel. "There were a lot of factors why I felt Dr. Hodel was the murderer," said Stephen Kay, head deputy district attorney in L.A. "The main one was we always knew a doctor was the murderer because there is no way an amateur could make the precise cuts in bisecting the body." Hodel said the first clue for him in the investigation was his father knew Short, he: said. .The next thing that tipped off Hodel was that his father was a skilled surgeon with exceptional hand-eye coordination who practiced medicine in Los Angeles at the time of the murders, he said. "I spent three years retracing â€¢.â€¢â€¢-. week by week and month by .month what had happened," Hodel said. â€¢-â€¢-.-.'â€¢' Hodel's girlfriend, Roberta ll...we always knew a doctor was McCreary, helped him with the the murderer because there is no way an amateur could make the Head deputy district attorney in Los Angeles investigation and became his special assistant. McCreary said ^ most of her research was done at precise cuts in bisecting the body. the University of California in Stephen Kay Los Angeles. She said her main job was to research all newspaper articles from five different newspapers from;1943 to 1950. "From the research I did, Steve was able to get so much information because back in the '40s so much information was published in newspapers," McCreary said. "By reading all these articles, that's how he found more victims, and through handwriting on other victims Steve was able to connect more murders to his father." Hodel would also later come to discover that his father had left directions for his wife to destroy all of his personal items. "This is not a 'daddy dearest' story," Hodel said. "I started checking into the crime itself." McCreary said Hodel read 110 books related to the crime and police investigation to provide background for his own investigation. "I also found secret district .attorney files that were locked for 55 years, which confirmed Dr. Hodel was the prime suspect in the Black Dahlia murder," Hodel said. "They bugged our home in 1950 and had 1,000- plus Bryan Sharick/The Western Front Private investigator Steve Hodel signs a copy of his new book, "Black Dahlia Avenger: The True Story," at Village Books for White Rock, B.C., resident Rochelle Depaolis. hours of secret recordings. In one of them you hear my dad say, 'Supposin' I did kill the Black Dahlia? They can't prove it now; my secretary is dead' â€” that's a direct quote. Some say maybe he was making a joke. I don't think so." The case-breaking tip for Hodel, which exposed his father as the Black Dahlia murderer, was the killer's handwriting. As soon as he saw it, he immediately recognized it as his father's. The decision for Hodel to write his book about investigating his father came after Kay reviewed his findings. - . â€¢ . , ' ... "(Kay) reviewed the material for a month in secret as a private person and said that if Dr. Gesorge Hodel were alive today, he would file charges of murder for Elizabeth Short...," Hodel said. "It's not only Steve Hodel saying he committed these murders but Stephen Kay as well." Hodel said it is a possibility his father was a serial killer and committed approximately 20 other murders. "There is six or seven (murders) I feel strongly confident about, another five I feel he did do and the rest the LAPD needs to look at because he probably did do them," Hodel said. "My mission is to get out there and tell this story. Sadly dad didn't wake up, stretch his arms and say, 'I'll be a serial killer.'" Hodel has 24 years of experience in law enforcement and became a private investigator when he retired from the LAPD. Because of investigating his father, he said he was able to quit drinking and has been sober for the last four years.

With mills, boatyards and warehouses crowding the space along the waterfront, not to mention sewer outfalls and toxic chemicals polluting the water quality, Bellingham might seem to be a destination for paddlers to skip. Others would beg to differ. "Bellingham is centered in kayak nirvana," said Lisa Wallis, president of the Whatcom Association of Kayak Enthusiasts, a local group of paddlers dedicated to furthering enjoyment and knowledge of the sport. With its relatively protected waters, scenic beauty and amenities that cater specifically to kayakers, the Bellingham area is a destination for salty veterans and wobbly amateurs alike, she said. "Most of the major manufacturers are located within a hundred mile radius, as well as many major kayak magazines," Wallis said. "This closeness allows the prospective kayaker to visit with the experts and learn about the sport." Wallis' love affair with sea kayaking began eight years ago when her husband introduced her to the sport through white-water kayaking. The thrill of paddling the rushing rivers eventually evolved into the easy going enjoyment of the slower paced open-water boating. "It is like backpacking on the water," Wallis said. "You embrace the ecosystem you travel through. The sea is like a big living, breathing organism, and when you are in your kayak, you are breathing and moving with it." Adding to Bellingham's allure are destinations such as Lummi Island, Wildcat Cove, Chuckanut Bay, Padilla Bay and Clark's Point, said Steve Walker, the recreation coordinator for Western's Outdoor Center. These areas offer the paddler a diverse experience of big water challenges, wildlife and stunning vistas. "The western shore of Lummi Island is a really dramatic example," Walker said. "There's big, steep x^ffs, pere- -grihe falcons' nesting,: wildflbwers, and 6jtteh,,youTi see otters swimming along the rocks. It's a really neat spot." Walker said his interest in the sport began 25 years ago when he spoke to a kayaker cruising the waters near his Bainbridge Island home. That simple curiosity has since led him to kayak the Fjords of Sweden's coast, the huge saltwater inlets of Vancouver Island and the islands and peninsulas of his native Puget Sound. A network of campgrounds set up specifically for kayakers and other muscle- powered boaters is also a big plus for the area's paddlers, Walker said. The Cascadia Marine Trail is a network of campsites throughout the San Juan Islands that is available to kayakers for $10. Another attraction for those new to the sport is the great availability of instruction, information resources and rental equipment available in the Bellingham area, Walker said. The Center has seven fiberglass kayaks on hand â€” five singles and two doubles â€” that come with paddles, a spare paddle, lifejacket, spray skirt, a weather radio and even a roof rack for a car. Important information such as nautical charts, current guides and instructional books and videos are available. The Center also sponsors guided day and As sunset approaches, an unidentified woman Larabee State Park. Areas like Chuckanut Bay overnight trips in the area during spring, summer and fall quarters. Lakewood, Western's boathouse facility on Lake Whatcom, keeps an inventory of 20 plastic kayaks -â€” eight doubles and 12 singlesâ€” that are available for "the physical education department's kayak touring courses and student rental for $1. The boats may only be used on the lake and when classes are not in session. Instruction is available by enrolling in one of the kayak touring sections during class registration. Whatcom County Parks and Recreation sponsors a variety of kayaking events, including instruction and sightseeing trips. It also provides kayaks and gear, and no previous kayaking experience is necessary for many of the guided day trips. WAKE also provides instruction and trips to members and non-members alike, Wallis said. The association includes many certified instructors who are willing to discuss their experience with beginners. Participants must provide their own boat and gear. Fairhaven Boatworks has 13 kayaks available: five plastic sit-on-top models, four single fiberglass boats and four double boats. Prices range from $7 to $18 per hour and $30 to $68 per day. The Boatworks is also right on the saltwater and next to a public boat ramp, making launching and landing very easy. â€¢ Before novices set out with their boat and sense of Justin McCaughan/The Western Front paddles her sea kayak but of a small bay in make Bellingham an ideal kayaking area. adventure, they should get instruction in kayak safety and rescue, Walker said. Even the relatively calm waters of the bay can get big in a hurry if strong winds begin blowing. Walker said it is important' for a^kayaker to have the skills to recover from a spill in the chilly waters of the Puget Sound. By performing an Eskimo roll, a maneuver in which the boater uses the paddle to right the boat without leaving the cockpit, the kayaker can easily recover after flipping over. Alternatively, a wet exit may be used. This technique requires the paddler to leave the capsized boat, flip it over and get back in. Both methods require practice to be effective. "The biggest danger is hypothermia," Walker said. "The water here fluctuates between 52 degrees in the summer and 48 degrees in the winter, and that will suck the heat out of your body pretty fast." Other precautions paddlers can take are to never paddle alone, stay close to shore, carry spare warm clothes in a dry bag and wear a wet or dry suit, Walker said. Experienced paddlers agree that the incredible experiences one will have while exploring the marine environment are .outweighed by the dangers presented by the sea. "There's something magical about sitting in a kayak, being at eye-level with the ocean," Walker said. "It's a feeling that's hard to find anywhere else." Collison, Ridnour fill holes in Sonies lineup Matt McDonald COMMENTARY The Seattle SuperSonics have made ill-advised draft choices in the past. But for the first time since drafting Gary Payton in 1990 and Shawn Kemp in 1989, the Sonies have made two quality draft picks. The Sonies chose two key players during the 2003 NBA Draft on June 26 for the two positions they needed the most: a point guard and a power forward. Power forward Nick Collison from Kansas University, who was selected as the 12th pick, and point guard Luke Ridnour from the University of Oregon, who was taken as the 14th pick, will both, in time, be key contributors for the Sonies. Since trading Payton last season for guard Ray Allen the Sonies have been in desperate need of a point guard. Payton was the Sonies' star player and starting point guard for 13 years. Ridnour was a solid choice at 6 feet 2 inches tall and 175 pounds. The Sonies have had a good history with picks from Oregon state, such as Payton and Brent Barry. Ridnour, who has excellent ball-handling skills and was arguably the best point guard in college basketball, can read the court, which will contribute to the Sonies' run-and-gun offense. "He's the best passer I've ever seen since Pistol Pete (Maravich)," Director of Sonies Personnel Dave Pendergraft said. The Sonies were also in need of another power forward to complement forward Rashard Lewis. Associated Press First Team All-American, Collison, who was 6 feet 9 inches and 255 pounds as a senior at Kansas, was an easy choice for the Sonies. He brings a presence to the court that current Sonies forwards Reggie Evans and Vladimir Radmanovic have not brought to the team by scoring. Collison is an all around big man. He can run the floor, play with his back to the basket and play as a small center, increasing the speed of the Sonies' offense. Collison and Ridnour had four and three years of college basketball experience, respectively. Both players bring the maturity that other draft picks, straight out of high school, do not have. College basketball is not the same as the NBA, but both players know what to expect entering into it. Players with college experience have a better understanding of the. hype that comes with playing professional basketball and how to handle the medial The Sonies could have made two horri^ ble picks this year, which they have done in the past. In the 1975 NBA Draft, the Sonies selected Frank Oleynick with the 12th pick. He only played for two years. Immediately after the Sonies chose Ridnour, the commentators said his defense was so bad that he could not even guard a chair. Others argue Collison is too slow to run the floor and currently too small to effectively perform at the power forward position. Sonies "head coach Nate McMillian was once an outstanding defensive point guard for the Sonies, and he will teach Ridnour the art of being a great defensive player. Not many players enter the NBA with great size. Collison will get into the weight room and become a force under the basket. With some work, they will greatly contribute to the Sonies. Ridnour's court vision will fuel the Sonies' high tempo offense. Collison will be the inside player with the ability to post up and score that the Sonies' need. If these players develop quickly, and begin starting games with Allen, Lewis and Barry, the Sonies will be a strong contender for an NBA championship. ---------- Western Front 2003-07-01 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ The Western Front OPINIONS Letters Editorials July 1, 2003 Recording industry must not sue its customers The Recording Industry Association of America, the trade group that represents the interests of the five major labels that dominate compact disc retailing: AOL TimeWarner, Vivendi Universal, BMG, EMI and Sony, must re-examine its business plan instead of taking its customers to court. The RIAA announced Wednesday that it plans to begin suing copyright violators in August. This could affect any of the students who enjoy downloading numerous MP3s via file-sharing programs through Western's high-speed Internet connections. The group plans to sue copyright violators, anticipating that such strict action will scare people away from using popular file-sharing services such as KaZaAand Grokster, which people can use to freely distribute MP3s. The RIAA claims its CD sales have declined by 14 percent, from $14.6 billion in 1999 to $12.6 billion last year, due to free file-sharing services, and it will continue to lose even greater amounts of money until those services are stopped. The RIAA needs to learn from past lessons that technological innovations do not herald the apocalypse. In the 1984 "Betamax ruling," the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that videocassette recorders were legal and people could record television and movies in their homes. Until that point, movie companies had tried to prohibit Sony from selling VCRs because they feared widespread copying of movies and television shows. In that case the court decided that as long as a device, such as a VCR, had "substantial" legitimate users, it could not be banned. The court has upheld this ruling through all new technological innovations: digital tapes, personal computers, CDs, DVDs, etc. The gist of the ruling was clear: The benefits technological milestones offer to the public outweigh the risk of piracy. Moreover, Congress declared in the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act that, "It is legal for consumers to copy music for their own enjoyment, provided it is not done for commercial purposes." Obviously videocassettes and audiocassettes have not killed the recording industry. The group has tried the lawsuit approach before, launching attacks on file- sharing services Napster and Audiogalaxy, among others, and bleeding them financially dry in costly legal battles. Yet crushing those companies did not raise CD sales. Users of those services simply moved on: leap-frogging from Napster to Audiogalaxy to KaZaA to any other free file-sharing service. The RIAA might argue that targeting the users themselves will scare them into paying for file-sharing services endorsed by the "Big 5" record labels or rushing to the store to buy the new 50 Cent album, despite the fact the only song they want off it is "In Da Club." But whatever money the RIAA will gain from suits against individuals, it will lose in boycotts. Already groups of disgruntled music buyers have launched boycotts against the RIAA, but the RIAA has not altered its militant stance on free file-sharing services and the people who use them. CD revenues may in fact be lower than last year, but that does not mean free file-sharing services are to blame. The economic recession, competing media, the high price of CDs and the practice of the Big 5 to chase and market an image instead of actual talent are likely greater reasons for the RIAA's recent slump in CD revenue. The RIAA should focus on these problems instead of trying to control technological evolution. Slapping a college student â€”- or anyone who uses free file- sharing services, for that matter â€” with a $100,000 fine is not going to get people to buy more CDs. All it will do is add more would-be consumers to the growing ranks of boycotters.

And we quote: "You're my boy, blue!" â€” WillFerrell, 'Old School' Consumerism gives false meaning to patriotism Jen Rittenhouse COMMENTARY With the Fourth of July three days away, merchandise displaying the American flag or the catchy slogans "United we stand" and "Proud to be an American" can be found almost everywhere. The celebration's real meaning is lost in the bandwagon mentality of patriotism. These days the flag is plastered on everything from paper plates to boxer shorts. The barrage of patriotic merchandise is no different than the Christmas displays in department stores the day after Thanksgiving. Compared to Christmas, Independence Day gives everyone in the United States the opportunity to show patriotism just as Christmas provides people a chance to show goodwill. People buy the ultra-patriotic T-shirts and wear them to feel like true red-blooded Americans. It used to be illegal, or at least in bad taste, to fashion garments out of the image of the American flag. Consumers begin to believe they can buy patriotism. Red, white and blue on the Fourth of July has become as meaningless to most people as the "Christ" in Christmas has become in recent years. Freedom is a privilege that people have had to fight for since the founding of the United States. The rights Americans' have should not be forgotten or taken lightly. Wearing a T-shirt for one day a year does not make somebody an American. Neither does buying a pack of Costco hot dogs and heading to the family barbeque where everyone is dressed in red, white and blue patriotic garb. After Sept. 11, and more recently with the war in Iraq, the trend in purchasing patriotic merchandise has increased. This trend seems to show that, as a nation, people feel they have to prove their patriotism* Being an American is not something that anyone has to prove. Placing a flag on a car or buying the clothing does not make someone more of an American than a person who chooses not to. From the creation of the flag in 1776, it has stood in battles, from the War of 1812 to the thousands of battlefields during the Civil War to the defeat at Pearl Harbor. To this day it covers the bodies of American veterans at their funerals. The flag has changed as the nation has changed, adding stars ending with Hawaii was in 1960. The flag also rests on the. top of Mount Everest, and on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong placed the flag on the moon. Despite the flag's history, the nation's most important symbol adorns boxer shorts and has become the perfect accompaniment to hot dogs and fireworks. Just purchasing patriotic items makes some feel they are See FOURTH, Page 7 North Korea needs to disarm immediately Yosuke Taki COMMENTARY The North Korean government must stop developing weapons of mass destruction, such as ballistic missiles and nuclear programs, to maintain security in the Far East. Sankei News, a Japanese newspaper, reported June 20 that the United States informed the Japanese government that North Korea was developing several nuclear warheads small enough to install in its ballistic missiles. The North Korean ballistic missile, Nodong, has a long enough range to bomb any part of Japan, including the 133 U.S. military bases and facilities on the islands. The North Korean government already has positioned hundreds of Nodong missiles near Pyongan-Bukdo, according to Chosunilbo, a South Korean newspaper. North Korea is also developing Daepodong 2, a ballistic missile with a long enough range to hit the continental United States, according to CNN. North Korea's government has repeatedly defined Japan and the United States as enemies. It also announced through North Korea's official press, Korea News Service, intentions of using their weapons of mass destruction against these two nations. "The rallies manifested the Korean people's will to bolster in every way the military deterrent force that guarantees the security of the country and the nation and wipe out the U.S. imperialist aggressors at a single stroke and win a final victory in the confrontation with them and thus take a thousand-fold revenge upon them," the Korea News Service reported in its June 26 online English language edition. North Korea has exported approximately 200 missiles to Iran, 150 missiles to Syria and â€¢ 100 missiles to Iraq, according to Chosunilbo. U.S. military officers Last December inspected a North Korean cargo ship near Yemen and found, 12 Scud missiles. Yemen diplomats admitted in December that they purchased missiles from North Korea in the past. North Korea's weapons industry brings in foreign currency, generating funds for further nuclear development. Some U. S. citizens might say North Korea has a right to run a weapons program for self defense, and that the U.S. government should not interfere in foreign matters. North Korea, however, now has an ability to launch nuclear missiles at Japan and has been addressing its will to use it. For the United States, it is not just a foreign event happening in the Far East. By the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States, which was established in 1960, the United States bears responsibility for Japan's national security from foreign forces. In order to stop funding North Korea's development of weapons of mass destruction, nations must minimize money flow to North Korea.

Methadone is the most common way to treat heroin addictions, and Washington would benefit socially and economically by providing prompt treatment to anyone who needs it. The National Institute of Health estimated the financial costs of untreated heroin addictions to individuals, families and society in the United States at $20 billion each year. Washington is home to approximately 38,000 addicts, according to a 2003 report by the Washington State Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse. Methadone, a substitute for heroin that prevents withdrawals without the high of the drug, has been shown to work effectively in the treatment of addictions. Washington law limits the number of clients it will treat to only 2,450 people a year, though it is estimated that Washington houses more than 18,000 addicts who would benefit from methadone treatment. Due to the state's limit on clients, addicts in search of treatment are referred to a waiting list, where the wait can be as long as two years. This delay violates federal Medicaid law, which requires state Medicaid services, including methadone, to be provided within a reasonable time. ~ The reason for this law is evident. Many addicts are homeless and, while on the waiting list, spend time in jail for crimes committed to acquire the funds to feed their addictions. According to DASA, holding a person in jail can cost more than $75 per day and is unlikely to solve an addiction problem. The cost of providing methadone treatment, in conjunction with counseling, costs local governments $10.36 per day. Half of those costs can be paid for by the federal government if the client is Medicaid eligible. 'Providing methadone treat ment, however, has shown to reduce the crime rate of heroin addicts by 71 percent..'. will save much more money than housing addicts in jail. Treating addicts for the two-year period of time they could possibly spend in jail would cure them of their addictions and save taxpayers more than $47,000 per treated addict. The correlation between crime and heroin has been established. Providing methadone treatment, however, has shown to reduce the crime rate of heroin addicts by 71 percent, according to the results of a 2001 study of - publicly funded methadone treatment clients. A 1998 review by the General Accounting Office also found that methadone therapy helped keep more than 179,000 addicts off heroin, off welfare and on the tax rolls as law-abiding citizens. This means money is coming in through taxes instead of money going out to treat addictions. Some people argue that using methadone as a solution is counterproductive because addicts are treating a drug problem with another drug. Many addictions, however, are treated Simple math proves that providing care with other drugs, including alcoholism, said Jaculine Mitchell, Whatcom County substance abuse program coordinator. Alcohol is a socially acceptable way to treat alcoholism so methadone should also be an acceptable way to treat a heroin addition. In addition, methadone treatment is backed by the Washington State Medical Association, Pharmacy Association and Medical Society, a testament to the medical community's positive opinion for methadone who would like easier access for their patients. According to a study completed by the Drug Control Policy Program of King County Bar Association, Washington state's methadone treatment problem could be solved with less than $2 million more in funding. This money would help bring treatment to those in need of it by expanding Washington's current client limit and helping make the treatment more accessible by creating more clinics, including one in Whatcom or Skagit County. No clinics currently exist farther north than King County. Methadone treatment has been proven to be an effective way to cure heroin addictions. Funding methadone for all who need it is not only economical but socially responsible. 8 i W Â» Fourth: Americans do not have to prove patriotism Continued from Page 6 RIDE WITH PRIDE.

"If that doesn't come through, because it is not a guaranteed thing, I am more than likely going to move out of the area because there aren't any family wage jobs in this area any more, especially with G-P closed. It's tough times." Alcoa, with 564 employees, is the sixth largest employer in Whatcom County. If the Ferndale plant closes, people will lose their jobs, and it will cause a ripple- effect of other job loses, said Hart Hodges, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research. "If 100 jobs go away, there will be fewer grocery store workers and waiters because their customers will not have money to spend," Hodges said. Aluminum is a commodity, and the London Metal Exchange sets the prices, so Alcoa cannot raise prices to compensate for the increased power costs, Hughes said. Alcoa is reviewing several different options aside from completely closing the plant. The options include running full time, depending on market conditions, or a swing plan where the plant starts up when power market conditions allow, Hughes said. "This (swing plan) can be very expensive because it is a long process to get the plant running again after it is closed," Hughes said. The plant may be able avoid closure if a settlement on a lawsuit filed against BPA by public agency power customers could drop power rates as much as 9 percent, Hansen said. "If we could get the people involved in this lawsuit to drop the lawsuit, it could end up saving us a couple $100 million," Hansen said. "It's the big ticket issue right now determining the rate increase." BPA will announce its final rate increase in August, which will, determine Alcoa's fate. Sharing: Students warned about trading music files Continued from Page 1 software that restricts file sharing programs." Bayside Records partner Chip Westerfield said the RIAA filing suits will discourage people from pirating music because the threat of being sued will deter the downloaders. "There needs to be an awareness that this is illegal," Westerfield said. "It still doesn't occur to a lot .of people that it's theft." By requiring students to accept its policies, Western tries to educate students so that copyright infringements do not occur. "It is our duty to educate students that these are the consequences, although what RIAA does is a private matter," Willis said. "Our limits on file sharing don't protect (students) but discourage piracy." Binary Recording Studio owner Bob Ridgley said the suits against violators will have no effect on the music industry because file-sharing is nothing new to the RIAA. "This is something that's been going on for a long time," Ridgley said. "It started with cassette tape duplication, and now we have CD copiers, so I don't know any way they can really stop (piracy)." Western senior Nic Connor said he has downloaded 795 songs from someone else using Western's Internet connection. Connor said he believes that RIAA cracking down on copyright violators will not lessen the amount of file sharing that occurs on campus. "They can put any kind of restrictions on it they feel like," Conner said.

The Front gets into theChristmas spirit on pages 10-15. See you next year! Western Front VOL. 71, NO. 74 WESTERNWASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1979 Burglaries plague Bellingham duringChristmas vacation by RICK ROSS Students leaving for Christmas vacation are encouraged to beprepared, as burglaries will plague the city, Western's Safety and Security and the Bellingham PoliceDepartment agree. Chuck Hart, of student housing, said that approximately 90 percent of Western'sstudents will leave for the vacation and vacancies created become prime targets for burglaries. CampusSecurity responded to 20 burglaries in December and January last year, Lt. Chuck Page, securityinvestigation and crime prevention officer, said, and most of these occurred during the holiday break.The average number of burglaries reported is approximately two to three per month. Security will do all itcan to try and prevent or reduce the number of break-ins that could occur. Dormitory patrol is increasedand, during the vacation, Security officers will report "anything that moves," Page said. "Studentsremaining on campus are urged to be on the lookoutand report-all suspicious peo-; pie they see," Pagesaid. Last December, security received 32 suspicious person reports. Page said some burglars, whomay or may not be Western students, often attend big campus parties during the end of the quarter tocheck out places as prospective burglary sites. Prevention methods recommended by Page coincidewith those in the "Operation Safe City" and "Operation I.D." programs presently being run by theBellingham Police Department. The programs involve the identification and inventory of valued itemswithin a residence and prevention'of possible break-ins. Dae Jamison, Bellingham Police crimeprevention officer, said that the previous "Block Watch" program, funded by the police department,began in 1975 and only reached 3,000 to 4,000 homes in the Bellingham area. "Operation Safe City" isfunded by a government grant and will cover the entire area. This massive campaign includes apackage of information that is mailed to Bellingham residents. The package contains pamphletsconcerning . "Operation I.D.," preventive security, an inventory book, diagramed instructions for safelylocking doors and windows, a list of security precautions and a letter of general information about theprogram. It also contains a card that can be filled out and returned to the police department for a freescriber. A scriber is used to mark the owner's driver's license number on valued items. Jamison said that an electric scriber is better than a standard one in that the engraving cannot be effectively scratched out. The operation does not directly reach campus housing. The same package and scriber, however, canbe obtained by students living on campus, at the police department. Campus Security presently hasone electric scriber available for student use. Jamison said the police department sent five more toSecurity for the same purpose. The chances of recovering unmarked items are almfesi'rrbnexistent,Page said /He added that the recovery rate for marked items is "pretty good." Stolen goods withidentifying markings are picked up in pawn shops and easily returned to the original owners. Unlikecampus Security, the Bellingham Police Department does not increase patrol during Christmasvacation. "The time involved in a break-in is so short that extra patrol really doesn't help," Jamison said.He added that the apprehension of burglars is easier during vacations because fewer people are outand those seen become "suspicious persons." Jamison said the majority of burglaries occurring inBellingham take place in the day time and 60 percent of these are juvenile related and unsophisticated. He also said that one-third of Bel-lingham's burglaries occur without forced entry. "Entry is often gainedthrough an open door or window," Jamison said. "Don't depend on your window latch," he added.Instructions for safely locking a window are explained in the "Operation Safe City" package. A COSMICCHRISTMAS TO ALL (and to all a good night!) Seasons greetings for the Ayatollah Copyright 1979,Western Front 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Tehran Not an Iranian was shouting,not even The Man. The hostages were bound to their armchairs with care, In hopes that Uncle Sam soonwould be there. The students were sleepy, all smug in their hope, While visions of the Shah danced froma rope. With women in chadors and Imam in Qom, No one was expecting the cold winter's doom. Whenout on-the streets there arose such a ruckus The students sprang shouting, their rifles in focus. Into theyard, they poured like a flash, Tore open the gates and made with a dash. When, what should grab theirpompous poopers, But helicopter gunships and 500 troopers. With practiced pilots so lively and mean,Students knew in a flash it must be Sajnt Marine. More rapid than eagles his tracers they came Andpilots whistled and shouted as they aimed. "Now, damn it! Now, let's go! Now, corporal and private! On,soldier! On, stupid! On, push 'em and drive it! To the top of the roof! To the top of the wall! Now dashinside! Dash inside! Smash away all! As dry leaves that before the wild helicopters fly, When they meetwith an obstacle, blow them sky high. So up to the embassy top the troopers they flew, With thechoppers full of boys and Saint Marine, too. And, then so astonished, hostages heard in the yard, Theshooting and dying of each Iranian guard. As they covered their heads, turning around, Through theceiling came Saint Marine with a bound. He was dressed all in green from his head to his foot, And hisclothes were all dirtied with ashes and soot. With an M-16 he had cocked at his chest, And he lookedlike a killer now leading the rest. His eyesâ€”how they hunted, his dimples how cruddy! His cheeks wereblackness, his nose very bloody! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a sneer, And the end of his chinwas as sharp as a spear. The stump of a cig he held in his teeth, And smoke it encircled him like a graywreath. He had a tough face and a nothing middle, That shivered, when he fired, ever so little. He wassolid and stoic, a right scarey old elf, But no one laughed when they saw him, to save himself. A wink ofhis eye and a twist of his head Soon gave the kidnappers something to dread; He spoke not a word butwent straight to his work, Killing all students, then turned with a jerk. And keeping his finger placed faston his gun, And giving a nod, to the yard ran everyone. He sprang to his chopper, to his troops gave ayell, And away they flew like bats out of hell. But some heard him exclaim, ere he flew out of sight,"Happy Christmas, Khomeini, and thanks for the fight!" â€”Hampton Hatcher ---------- Western Front - 1979 December 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, December 7, 1979 THROUGH THE PACES â€” The Viking car, a product of theVehicle Research Institute at Western, is shown doing what it is meant for â€” driving. Administratorsplea for cash I by ERIC HOOKHAM Administrators here will ask the Washington Legislature for moneythis Christmas, but the presents might not arrive, they said. Every two years administrators planWestern's university budget. The state Legislature then evaluates the requests, and decides the amountto be appropriated to cover costs for the next two years. But this year voters approved a resolution whichcalls for the legislature to meet annually. The first off-year session will begin next month. So budgetauthorities here have asked for $735,400 to cover Jnf3a,tjo|i-rel,aied^CQst.s.;on.the embryonic speech and business building, to offset increases in the school's energy bill and to 'give a costrof-jiying raise in payto instructors, according to a letter sent''to'Gov.'OixyXee Ray from University President Paul Olscamp.Ray said the funds would be difficult to get. She informed state agencies soon after the elections that "few supplemental budget items will be approved" and if any were approved, they would be only those with"truly exceptional and critical circumstances." Instead of money, the public might get a political show.Western Business Manager Jack Cooley said. He said legislators "will want to keep the budget locked up because spending money is not politically popular." , Vice-president for Business Affairs Don Cole saidan "interesting and political" session will occur, and "is not really optimistic about the budget"discussion. He said many gubernatorial candidates will be campaigning at the time the legislature is insession, including House speakers Duane Berentson-R, and John Bagnariol-D, Secretary of State BruceChapman-R and Gov. Ray. University Planner and State Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz concurred. "In fact,I'm about the only one who hasn't declared for candidacy," he said, laughing. Goltz said he personallyfeels chances now are "very small" of funding Western's requests. He said he argued for opening thesession to budget requests, Friday at a state senate caucus, but said most others were "definitelyagainst" the idea. The inflation-related requests probably would be considered in the 1981 session, hesaid, and predicted if money was granted to faculty for cost-of-living allowances it would not be in theform of a percentage increase, as asked by Western. Instead it would be a "flat amount,"a specificnumber of dollars, he said. Funds needed for Viking VI Western's Vehicle Research Institute (VRI)currently is bargaining to receive a $242,000 government grant. The money would be used for threeprojects involving the modification of compact cars and the preparation of a Viking VI test crash,'Director Michael Seal said. The institute received one' compact car from California on Monday and isworking to reduce the vehicle's weight. The car was sent by the U.S. Department of Transportation for the purpose of modification, Seal said. Another car will arrive next month, which will require a newengine to be fitted. Seal estimated the total cost of the projects at not more than $24,500. A date for the Viking VI automobile crash test has not been decided. The test will be in Phoenix, Ariz., and will bepreceded by four "sled tests." Seal explained that the sled tests involve construction of a duplicateViking VI cockpit and crash tests will be run with dummies inside. The resultant information will allow forpreparation and alteration of the Viking VI before it actually is tested. The construction of Viking VIdepends on a government decision to accept or decline the $242,000 grant requested by the VRI. Theautomobile would seat three passengers, two in the front and one sitting crossways in the back. Ittheoretically will get 55 mpg in the city and 80 mpg on the highway. President lights up his life by SUETAYLOR While the Housing and Djning; Staff asked residents in stlJsten^?vhousing to douse theQip ^fs, lights this year, hot^ng's'most infamous residence will be lit up like, well, a Christmas tree.The president's house, which is owned and maintained by housing and dining and used rent-free bywhomever happens to be president of the university, will get $46.16 in outdoor lights, according to thepurchasing office. Housing and dining paid for the lights and will install them on the president's houseTuesday. The request to housing and dining was phoned in by President Olscamp's secretary. "Thepresident asked to purchase and install some outdoor Christmas lights for the president's house, tobe installed Tuesday," Housing and Dining Director Pete Coy said. Coy said he did not know exactlyhow much it would cost to install the lights, but labor for such a job usually is $ 18 an hour. It probablywould take "a couple of hours to do it properly," Coy said. The purchasing office bought eight 25-footstrings of outdoor lights with which to decorate the president's house. Each string has 25 lights on it fora total of 200 lights. â€¢ In keeping with Western's policy to lower energy conser-vation, apartment andWine Art Beverage Everything for the home WINE BEER MAKER Ma/7 orders accepted Domestic . Import BEER . WINE TO GO 1305 Commercial â€” across from the Parkade 734-7293 hours 11-5:30 Man.- thru Sat. residence hall staffs were asked to tell residents not to use Christmas lights indorm rooms or apartments to cut down on energy consumption. To light 200 outdoor lights, it costs 6cents an hour, according to an estimate from Puget Sound Power and Light. Housing and dining, whichreceives student funds to operate, pays the electric bill for the president's house. At the end of theyear, the bill is submitted to the university, which reimburses housing. Western receives its moneyfrom the state which collects it in the form of taxes. Also, purchasing has request on file to buy aChristmas tree for the president's house. President Olscamp was unavailable for comment about thepurchases at press time. ERIC HOOKHAM GREGG OLSEN Winter editors are hired When EricHookham and Gregg Olsen applied for the editorships of the Front and Klipsun magazine they knew what they were getting into â€” but they did it anyway. Hookham, a 20-year-old senior journalism major, wasappointed editor of the Front for the second time at Wednesday's meeting of the publications council. The winter quarter editor had served as the commandant of the newspaper this past summer. "I, um, amreally happy to get this honor, you know. I, um, really wanted it," Hookham said in an exclusive interviewfollowing his selection. Olsen, also a senior journalism major, was selected editor of Klipsun at lastweek's meeting of the council. Olsen won a Society of Professional Journalist award for the editing of thefall 1978 Klipsun Magazine. "Last time around, I don't think I was tough enough," Olsen quipped. "Thistime I'll rule with an iron hand." . The two will take office at the start of winter quarter. ---------- Western Front - 1979 December 7 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, December 7, 1979 Western Front 3 VHI â€¢ Western Front Features Presidents cope with RIF inthe '70s by NANCY WALBECK University President Paul Olscamp inherited the legacy of a divisive and demoralized faculty when he accepted the stewardship of Western on July 1, 1975. The effects of areduction in force (RIF) implemented two years previously, which resulted in the loss of 100 facultypositions, caused "great bitterness, insecurity and depression and some deterioration in the education program," Olscamp said. "The bitterness is still there for some, although a small number," Olscampsaid. "We have just about recovered," he added. Olscamp said a "sudden and unpredicted loss ofenrollment" at Western caused the problem of overstaffing and no one was at fault. "(Former UniversityPresident Charles) Flora wasn't responsible in any way for the sudden drop in enrollment. No oneperson could have caused that," Olscamp said. He added that no matter what action Flora took toameliorate the problem, faculty confidence would have been difficult to maintain. Olscamp said hisinitial job was to appoint a nine-member faculty committee to study the entire curriculum and makerecommendations in three categories; growth, stabilization or decline. Further, he said he wantedspring of 1970, Ohio State University had $2 million worth of damage and 5,000 National Guard troopson campus because students objected to the direction of the curriculum for the first time, Olscamp said. _ "Finally, those who were being planned for were participating in the planning," he said. Olscamprecalls 70s 'eventful 10 years . . .' PAUL OLSCAMP the faculty to have control over the . distribution ofacademic resources, "in essence, putting the money in the hands of the faculty." "There has been aremarkable change as the budgets were largely centralized before 1975," he added. Olscampreminisced about the years between 1965 and 1975 when "an entire nation threw off its whole moral and disciplinary history in virtually every area of national life." He said he does not think the Vietnam Warwas the whole reason for this disruption. "The war was the symptom, not the disease. It acted as acatalyst," he added. At the time of Kent State, Olscamp was an associate dean at Ohio StateUniversity located in Columbus. In that the racist policies of the administration, Olscamp said. "It hadnothing to do with Vietnam or Cambodia. Out of a student population of 48,000, 600 were blacks but thecity of Columbus had a black population of 100,000," Olscamp said. The administration of theuniversity countered the students' demands by saying it would be discriminatory to recruit on thebasis of race, Olscamp said. "The administration of Ohio State was doomed from that time on," headded. Olscamp said the attitude of the university administration was typical of the power structure in American life at that time. He said it was mirrored in corporations, churches and government. "Before,we didn't question. We thought those in power were right," Olscamp said, adding that the pain andupheaval of those times "radically changaed higher education forever." Faculty and students beganworking together and students had the opportunity to shape "And people in administration found outthere was no point in running an institution on secrecy," Olscamp added When the students becameinvolved in directing their own education, Olscamp said it was beneficial for thos students who believed in hard work. But he said some faculties and administrations were frightened and went too fvvar inaccommodating less serious students' demands. "They were under the silly presumption that those that don't know will be taught by those who do," he added. In the next decade, Olscamp said he sees a"modest fall off in enrollment. Nobody will be surprised," although he admitted he was surprised by the drop in freshman enrollment this fall. Olscamp said he has a plan when enrollment declines butrefused to disclose it. He said he hoped Fairhaven College would survive and prosper and reaffirmed hisbelief in a strong liberal arts core for Western. "We are not a technical school and won't become one,"he said. Olscamp also talked of his personal philosophy and said his views of what a university ought to do in relation to minorities has "radically changed." He said he used to believe American societywanted to give minorities a chance to get in the mainstream through higher education but ispessimistic about those dreams now. "I was wrong. Society is not willing to pay the cost," Olscamp said, adding that, "America is getting the society it paid for." Olscamp has gone through somepersonal changes in the past decade as well, citing his divorce after 20 years of marriage andsubsequent remarriage. "I am a little less afraid of failure than I was," he said. "It used to be a rulingprinciple of my life." Before, he said his ambitions for a successful career in academic life overrodehis private life. "I was insufficiently attentive to my personal happiness and those around nfie,'" dUc'a'mp said. Further, he said he had the mistaken view that acco'mp- ' lishing professional goals would makehim happy. In contemplating the past decade, Olscamp said, "These have been the most eventful 10years of my life." Charles J. "Jerry" Flora directed Western through its most disruptive and painful period, from 1967 to 1975. Student strikes, sit-ins, demonstrations and a reduction in force (RIF) in facultypositions marred his tenure. Flora said he remembered his first sit-in at the placement center in 1969and wondered how he should handle it. He said he called on an old friend, Nathan Pusey, then president of Harvard, and asked him for advice. "He tole me, 'Whatever you do, it will be wrong. Remember, thosestudents are your children and you love them'," Flora said. "My life was threatened, my pipe wasstolen and students would grind out butts on the floor of my office," he added. Flora said activismcentered in the years from 1969 to 1971 then dwindled until the end of 1973 when it was virtually over."Personally, I think the tumultuous time ended with the close of the Vietnam War," Flora said. "Manyhad avoided the draft by going to college," he added. In 1973, then Gov. Dan Evans told state agenciesthey must reduce allocations to all departments, Flora said. He added that the cutback in productionat Boeing was one of the reasons for a reduction in state revenue. Then enrollments declined and RIFwas implemented. "It caused- terrible anguish and Former university president reflects on the turbulentpast . pain." Flora said, with some faculty taking pay cuts so others could be retained. "The firstelement was to determine who were the best and whether it would cripple the department to losethem," he said. Student evaluations were used as part of the process. "There was a lot of bitterness,"he added. Flora said he gave a letter of resignation to the Board of Trustees in 1972 but the boardasked that he not make it public. He said he tried to resign several times but a new crisis would developand he resolved to ride it out. "I refused to be driven out by a crisis," Flora said, "although I think that isa flaw in my character." He added that the presidency "sucks your brain dry"and has a bad effect onfamily and academic life. "My greatest regret was that the all college senate did not operate to thesatisfaction of the university community," Flora said, and therefore was "so easily killed." "The college senate was my idea and hope and I pushed it hard," he said. "I am sorry it didn't work out. I thought itwas neat," he added. Flora said he has an "unbounding fondness and enthusiasm for Western. I love.it and I'm proud of it," he said. "Western's one hell of a fine state college," he said, "with a damn fineadminstration" and added that its reputation is better than 10 years ago. Flora is an advocate of theliberal arts. "We are educating for a whole damn life, not just a job," he said. He added that students are more motivated to learn today than in previous years. But Flora said he is worried about facultystagnation. "We need new ideas, fresh ideas," he said. "If we do not have a sufficiency of turnover,intellectual stag-nation will inevitably occur." although he admitted he had no solution. Now director ofAquatic Studies, Flora said he loves to teach and likes working with young people. Flora added, "It's amarvelous thing to hand people a new thought, and better still when they hand one back." The formerpresident said he never reflects on the past and is totally future oriented. "I'm not defending it. I see it asa JERRY FLORA flaw," he said. "I always have m.ore in front of me than I can cope with," he added.When asked about personal changes in h;is life, Flora said he was not quite as fat as before but said itgoes in cycles. "Probably next year will be a 'fat' year," he said. He admitted to smoking as much asbefore, waving a worn yellow pipe and pointing to a pile of used matches as evidence. Flora said he wasnot sorry he was president. "It was an intriguing and challenging time," he said. But added that if hereturned to his old job, he would have "terrible troubles within a year." "I am just as intractable as ever,"he laughed. .*-w*:^Â».t t i ---------- Western Front - 1979 December 7 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, December 7, 1979 barbara waits- She ponders final excuses So it is finals week already.

Do you think my parentswill buy any of these? Or even temporarily rent them? "But Dad, you know the grading system issubjective. The prof probably picks grades out of a bowl of alphabet soup." "It was a tough class. I tried my best." "I learned a lot. 1 just couldn't study everything. 1 guess I studied the wrong things." Gr: "Itwas an essay test, you know, and I suppose my prof didn't agree with what I wrote." That one is a goodessay-exam excuse. Not only does it show my parents I knew the information, but it tells them Ianalyzed the material. I thought. After the excuses, we could go into a lengthy discussion on howcollege is supposed to teach students how to think, not what to think, and we could decide it waswonderful I had opted for really thinking about my classes instead of reciting the textbook. We couldmourn together the pitfalls of institutionalized education, becrying its inability to measure the student'sapplication of what is taught. I like that argument. It Makes me sound so scholarly;, as opposed tostudently. The discussion might lead us away from those nasty letter grades on the yellow sheet, too.However, if that reasoning doesn't work, 1 could try this alternative: "School is a many splen-doredthing. Not only does the individual learn calculus and dance theory, he or she learns life. I've beenconcentrating on life this quarter." After I explain what THAT means, my parents and I could talk aboutdealing with all the responsibilities of adulthood. We could examine topics like budgeting money and the fun-vs- work dilemma. I could demonstrate how I've made the "right" decisions when confrontingthese frustrations. I would say 1 have responsibly kept my house clean and in order. I have spent mymoney on food and rent and purchased only the bare necessities, and worked diligently on developingmy talents instead of going for motorcycle rides or disco dancing. My mother would like the decisionsI've made. If they still remembered my report card, I have one last attack on academic measuringsticks. "But Mom, college is such an 'unreal' environment. Do you want a radical, anti-nuke prof toapprove of me? Geez, I just can't sell my Protestant upbringing for some of their ideas. You know, mypoli sci prof doesn't even wear a tie to class!" My father would like that excuse. He thinks I'll startsmoking marijuana or drinking beer because I'm going to college. I have one excuse left. But it is oneI can't relate to my parents. I let my grades fall because, yes, to an extent the grading system issubjective and inaccurate. The courses were harder than I expected, I couldn't study everything and Ichallenged the viewpoints of my professors. But mostly I learned about life this quarter by makingmistakes. 1 made good decisions, but I blew a few, too. I spent my time reading the biology text andadmiring the author's writing talent instead of learning about frogs and tarantulas. I had to fight with my roommates and learn social control. I had to regret a lot of failures. And I learned from these. Butfathers don't always understand that kind of learning at "Meet the tuition-check" time. â€”-hamptonhatcher Bird on day care needs closer look After author Caroline Bird finished her campus talk on thetwo-paycheck family last Friday, she was asked a question from the audience about the future role of daycare in America. She hadn't so much as mentioned it during her presentation. In her answer, she playeddown the importance of day care, saying American parents prefer to use other means to take care oftheir children while they work. She didn't see day care performing an important function in the future.Bird's reply to that question was surprising, especially when compared to an article on day care in theAugust issue of the Journal of Marriage and the Family. The article had some interesting statistics andpredictions that Ms. Bird should take a look at before she asnwers that question again. Assuming thatwomen who were born during the baby boom of 1946 to 1964 have 2.1 children, which is the averagenumber various surveys indicate they want, the number of preschool children is expected to increasefrom its low of 17.1 million in 1977 to a high of 23.3 million in 1990. At the same time, that segment ofthe female population, who have children under six years of age, is entering the labor force faster thanany other group. In 1977, 42 percent of those women were working compared to 20 percent in 1965.Today, two out of three families have two wage earners, according to the Department of Labor. One ofseven families.is headed by a woman lt; mainly as a result of the rising divorce rate. Such trends can be expected to continue. The best estimates say 10 to 15 percent of all preschool children of workingwomen are cared for now in daycare centers. This proportion might not sound too significant, but itrepresents a doubling of 1965 levels and doesn't include nurseries and kindergarten, traditionally notconsidered as day care. Although future predictions are at best iffy, these figures do indicate thatdaycare services will greatly expand over the next decade, with dominant forms of this service probablybearing little resemblance to that of 1979, according to the journal. What also is indicated is that beingan author of a popular book doesn't necessarily mean a writer is the last and only word on a topic.Responses Rip roars Western Front: Among the inaccuracies printed in the Front's Doug Scott feature, Nov. 30, two misrepresentations of fact are so rude they cannot be ignored. It should be recognizedthat formal dismissal procedures (established by the AS Board) outlined in the Student EmploymentPolicy were followed exactly. Contrary to the statement in the article, I did not choose "firingprocedures." That may be verified by the AS Personnel Director or by a quick check of the employmentpolicy. The story stated I "worked" for two months to have Scott removed. In fact, Doug Scott himselfproved the reasons and basis for dismissal from the position. He failed to work with the program areadirectors, took little interest in the varied radio activities and failed to consider comprehensivescheduling. My role consisted of alerting the Activities Council, and subsequently appearing beforeboth the Council and AS board. Overall, the story was stretched too thin. No third-party opinion aboutthe dismissal was offered. Omitted is the fact he was given formal notice of unsatisfactory progress last August. He was given a six-week probation period this fall. Only after this extensive process was he dismissed. Is this irrelevant to the editor? Less pictures and more story would have better servedyour readers.

SALT II was negotiated to achieve arms control and limitations, supposedly. However, since the SALT II debate has hit the Senate floor, a number ofcompromises and concessions have been made in order to overcome right-wing opposition. Theseconcessions have stripped and negated what limited effect the treaty had in the first place. The defensebudget has been increased by 17 percent, counting inflation, between 1980 and 1981. A whole newgeneration of first-strike counter-force weaponsâ€”the MX missile and the cruise missileâ€” haveemerged. In October, Carter announced plans to introduce two new weapons systems into WesternEuropeâ€”Pershing nuclear missiles and cruise missiles. The treaty itself imposes ceilings that boththe United States and U.S.S.R. presently fall far short of.

Instead of arms control, SALT IIis merely arms management. Our nation simply cannot afford to continually invest in military hardware at the expense of domestic needs. The rising cost of such military increases is proving debilitating to both American and Soviet economies.- Early in December, Sen. Mark Hatfield of Oregon plans to bring anamendment to the SALT II treaty to the Senate for a vote. This amendment is a moratorium that wouldfreeze the nuclear arsenals of both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. at their present levels and would halt anyfurther development, testing and deployment of new weapons. Although Washington's senators areamong the strongest opponents of arms limitations, we have an obligation to let our concerns beknown. I urge you to write your senators in support of the moratorium amendment. Let's strive for aSALT treaty that goes deeper than diplomatic rhetoric, a treaty that will alter our errors and pursuetrue peace and security.

This nation's leaders, in their infinite wisdom, have declared that nuclear power will comprise a significant portion of our future energy sources as a matter of policy. Already, its presence is being feltand depended upon in a number of areas across the country. When considering the uncompromisingnature of the wastes that nuclear plants create (they remain lethially radioactive for thousands uponthousands of years), it becomes clear that a six-month pause is nothing more than a glance over theshoulder of a panicking culture. While it is true that Puget Power has invested millions of dollars inthe Skagit project, the vast majority of it is not site specific. That is, Puget could pack up its bags andmove elsewhere, like Handord, without losing too much money. The NRC wants us to believe it'staking a hard look at nuclear power's future. Puget Power wants to lull the public, including journalists,into the warmth of the notion they are withdrawing from the Skagit. Both are bruised and angry, butneither has quit. Ms. Brainard is right. We can "overcome our dependence on nuclear power." As anation, we must begin to pursue a rational energy policy that incorporates conservation and a sense ofenoughness. But let's not make the mistake of including nuclear proponents as among thevanquished yet. They haven't quit, just retreated. Kevin M. Raymond Study?

The touring theater's presentation of a contemporary comedy, the story of two ordinarypeople from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," provides a picturesque arena for Western's acting students toshowcase their talents. ; The action of the play loosely follows the plot of "Hamlet," but only from theview of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Instead of entering for a small part in a scene, the scenecenters on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with everyone including Hamlet, Ophelia, Claudius,Gertrude and a bungling troupe of actors. "I can't help making serious plays comic," Stoppard said, andneither can Gregg Thomas who, in the role of Rosencrantz, creates a tremendously funny thoughnaive character whose witty expressions, gestures and innuendoes are easy to identify with. GregBerry, in the role of Guildenstern, provides a great contrast with his logical, philosophic and even more ridiculous character. In the course of their search for where, how and why they are, Guildenstern'sphilosophical meanderings only confuse poor Rosencrantz but also create hilarious dialogue. Theirconfusion is increased by the fact they can't even remember which is Rosencrantz and which isGuildenstern. As the audience discovers, no one else really cares which is which. David. Marks, as The Player who leads the visiting troupe of demented actors, creates a very imposing and colorfulcharacter with a bleak but sensible-outlook on life.

Shane O'Hara, as the reluctant young actor, Alfred,nearly steals the show with his embarrassed expressions when he is forced to dress in the paddedcostume and curly red wig of the queen in the troupe's play. Each time Alfred enters, his expression iseven more sheepish and hilarious than the last. The ingenious work of "master costumer" Vic Leverett added color and authenticity to the play, and made it even more comedic because each costume wasso appropriate to the character. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were dressed in flamboyant blues, reds and oranges contrasting with the somber black and white costume of melancholy Hamlet. RogerGermain's simple abstract set was well suited to the restricted playing area and seems adaptable tofuture tour situations. The use of platforms and ramps with wildly textured designs on surrounding wallscreates a very appropriate setting for the diverse and abstract ideas in the play.

I think I have this feeling because Bonoff seems tobe caught between producing a slick, commercial album while retaining some of the respecti-bility fromher first album. Whatever the struggle may be, the result is a good credit to Bonoff s portfolio withperhaps a few minor flaws. Bonoff seems to suffer the most from her initial comparison to LindaRonstadt by many Jackrabbit Slim no dull bunny by BONNIE HUCKINS "Romeo's Tune," a radio hitfrom Steve Forbert's new album "Jackrabbit Slim," is finally getting Forbert some of the recognition hedeserves as a fine musician. "Jackrabbit Slim" is the follow-up album to Forbert's 1978 debut "Alive OnArrival," and promises to get more attention than the latter, although the debut did a good job ofletting the world know that Forbert had "arrived." Forbert's music defies all labels. It consistsbasically of ballad-type songs, with empha- 'Major Barbara' auditions set; open to all Auditions for"Major Barbara," a comedy by George Bernard Shaw, are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 7-10 in Old Main theater 100. Director Dan Larner said auditions for the theater dance department production will be open to everyone. Although the play was written in 1905, Larner said Shaw's genius is shown in this storyof a young liberated woman who is a major in the Salvation Army. Larner said the play deals with ayoung couple "coming to grips with certain types of evil in the world," mainly Barbara's father, who is the world's richest and most powerful manufacturer of deadly weapons of war. Larner said the play has nine roles for men and six roles for women, plus roles for several extras. The play will run during the last twoweekends in February. "Major Barbara" shows the revolutionary playwright at his best, Larner said. Headded that Shaw's genius is reflected in the fact that he makes a wealthy weapons manufacturer seemappealing and his arguments nearly impossible to refute. sis on bluesy, country-style guitar riffs.His tunes show off a strong sense of rhythm, and have effective but unobtrusive percussion andkeyboards laced throughout. Another Forbert specialty is his harmonica blowing, which is sporadic, butappreciated when noticeable. A special horn section (sax, trumpet and trombone) also addes fingersnapping rhythms to his songs, especially one cut titled "The Sweet Love That You Give (Sure Goes ALong, Long Way)." Forbert's music alone is quite catchy, but the easy to understand lyrics really make the difference. Songs like "I'm In Love With You" and "Sadly Sorta Like A Soap Opera," are realistic and easy to relate to. Lyrics such as, "Further down behind the masquerade the tears are there, I don't askfor all that much, I just want someone to care," convey a sentiment that many people haveexperienced at one time or another. Forbert's voice tops off the combination of brilliant music andlyrics. His vocals are strong but throaty (somewhat Dylan-esque), although much fuller on the slowerballads. His voice is well-suited, to the acoustic, melodic tunes that emanate from his guitar.Background vocals by\ the Shoals Sisters (formerly of Muscle Shoals) add cohesion to the songs, andfortunately, are not so overdone as to be overbearing. "Jackrabbit Slim" and its first hit single"Romeo's Tune" are both moving rapidly up the record charts, and his performance here tonight withKarla Bonoff promises to be an enjoyable evening for both fans and new listeners alike. of the criticswho listened to her first album and concerts. Besides being unfortunate, this comparison has a fewproblems. Bonoff tends to remind people of Ronstadt because several of Bonoffs songs helped makeRonstadt famous. But Bonoff doesn't have Ron-stadt's voice or penchant for rock 'n' roll. "RestlessNights" is an affirmation of this view. Five of the nine cuts on the album are ballad-like, while theremaining four are more in the "I Can't Hold On" tradition. Of all the cuts on the album, "Baby Don'tGo" is the most immediately appealing. Promoters released the first cut on the album, "TroubleAgain," for the single, but I think "Baby Don't Go", has far more. AM potential. The title cut, "RestlessNights," and the one following it, "The Letter," are typical of Bonoffs style and very listenable. She isjoined by Jackie De Shannon on her interpretation of "When You Walk In The Room," although Bonoffsstrong vocals on this one effectively drown out De Shannon's supporting efforts. The studio work iswell-done on the album. Bonoff borrowed Russell Kunkel, Danny Kortchmar and Steve Forman fromJames Taylor and Jackson Browne, a combination that almost ensures success. Taylor himself joinsBonoff on the album's last track on the traditional "The Water Is Wide." His familiar harmonies areunderemphasized. Bonoffs whole album is slick and flawlessly produced. From the additions of AndrewGold, Kenny Edwards and the other respectable musicians, who make repeat appearances on hersecond album, to the experienced Greg Ladanyi of Jackson Browne fame, all of the elements for atremendous piece of vinyl are there. The only problem with "Restless Nights" is that it follows "KarlaBonoff." The first album has many of the same musicians but not as much of the experience. The record had an aura of newness and freshness about it although several of the tracks were recordedpreviously by other artists. "Restless Nights" is a very adequate piece of Bonoffs work and goodlistening. It just had a hard act to follow. NEED CREDIT? SEND FOR THE CREDIT GAME Too young toborrow? New in town/no references?

Western's soccer teams championship may not cause souvenir mugs,pennants and T-shirts to be created, but it will add another trophy to Carver Gym. The Vikings capturedthe Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conference title with a 11â€”1â€”1 record. The University ofWashington finished second at 10-2-2: Western's only loss was 1-0 against the Huskies Nov. 29 inSeattle. "They (UW) played exceptional defense," said Viking Coach Darcy Szigety. "It was a hightension game." The reason it was a high tension game was because the UW sought to avenge anearlier 3-2 loss to Western and the Huskies still had an outside shot at winning the title. But when the Vikings clobbered Washington State University 5-0 Saturday in its final game of the season, itended the Huskies' title hopes. Szigety said he set three goals for the team prior to the season andthey were all met. First, he wanted the team to improve last year's 8-2-2 record. His second objectivewas for Western to have the best goals for and goals against average in the league. Szigety's final goalwas to win the league title. Western outscored its opponents 50-8 and shut them out nine times toeasily accomplish the second goal. Szigety said experience and balance were the keys to the Vikings'championship season. Eight of the 18 players joined the team two years ago and Szigety said theplayers who became members last year and this season fit in well. "1 could substitute anyone at anytime and still have a highly talented team playing," Szigety said. Freshman Cindy Breed led the team in scoring with 16 goals.

Western outscored its opponents 50-8. Jamie Adkins booted six goals. Next spring, Western willtravel to California for the third consecutive year to compete in a couple of tournaments. Western will meet Stanford University, the University of Santa Barbara and others. Szigety will journey toPortland next week to pick up the championship trophy at the coaches' meeting. And if Szigety isasked to give the coaches a speech on his team's success, he will stress team unity. "It takes morethan one All- Star player. It takes a team effort. We are an unselfish and a very close knit team," Szigety said. Or as the Pittsburgh Pirates said, "We are family." Hail Marx,; decides championship 'BumperCrop' topples The Union for grid title by GARY LORENTSON An undefeated streak stretching twoseasons was kept intact Tuesday when the "Bumper Crop" Hybrids won the men's intramural flagfootball championship for the second year. Playing in deep mud, the Crop defeated the SwedishStudent Union 7-6 in overtime to capture the title. But the Crop had to fight for its life Tuesday thanksto a tough Union defense that seemingly couldn't miss a flag. The Union led most of the game,scoring mid-way through the first half on a pass from quarterback Ivan Farrell to halfback GregNoson. The pass for the extra point was incomplete. In the second half, an apparent touchdown byMark Flippo was called back for a spinning penalty. But with time running out, Jerry Hall intercepted aUnion pass giving the ball back to the Crop. Backed up into its own territory, Crop quarterback JamesMoore took the snap, eluded several onrushing linemen and lofted a touchdown pass to Ben Emmonsto tie the game. The extra point was no good. A last ditch effort by the Union was thwarted whenEmmons intercepted a pass in the end zone on the last play in regulation time. In overtime, the teamgaining the most yardage in four downs is the winner. In four plays, the Union moved halfway to theend zone. The Crop took over and were held for no gain on first down. But on the next play Flippostreaked down the left side where he caught a pass, and with a block by Chris Norton, rambled into theend zone. The Crop made it to the finals with a 16-6 win over the Has Beens in the quarterfinals and a 2-0 win over Revenge in the semis. The Swedish Student Union defeated the James Street Bombers 8-6and the Warriors 18-6 to make the finals. Crop Coach Scott Teitle-baum said he owed his team'ssuccess to a tough defense, anchored by "the best defensive front four around." He said thechampionship was decided on an "alley-oop and a hail mary." The Crop has six members from lastyear's team, and although Teitlebaum is graduating, he said most of the team will be back next year.The winner of the men's consolation bracket was Toejam with a 12-6 win over the Force. The women'sdivision was won on Nov. 31 by Semi- Toughest over Bob's Boob Busters, 30-0. The Ball Huggersbeat the Nash Compactors for the consolation title.

Mahoney competed in the Police Athletic Senior-Open Championships Nov. 24 at Albuquerque, N.M. In his opening fight at 3:15 a.m., Mahoney scored a second-roundknockout over last year's light-heavyweight champion (165 pounds), George Mathews. Battling fatiguefrom the long trip, and a swollen right hand, Mahoney lost his next bout at midnight of the same day toformer national middleweight champion, Bill Burns. "Bill (Mahoney) had the fight won clearly; onpoints, Just wet shorts but he just plain ran out of gas," Ferguson said. Ferguson said 19-degreeâ€¢temperature in Albuquerque, coupled with the high elevation, was Mahoney's undoing. "I found outthat Bill does not fight as well at higher elevations," Ferguson said. "Bill was really sick and his righthand was extremely sore," he continued. Mahoney sustained the injury in practice the day before thetrip. Despite those problems, Mahoney impressed the judges at the tournament, Ferguson said. "Billwill be ranked third or fourth in the western United States," Ferguson predicted. "Because of hisshowing, we have been invited to a lot of tournaments," he added. The 24-year-old Mahoney came intothe tournament as the ninth-rated light middleweight in the nation. He has 15 knockouts en route to an 18.-2 overall record. Ferguson is very optimistic about Mahoney's Olympic chances. "He is learningwith every fight, and I still have not seen anybody as good as Bill," Ferguson said. Mahoney will takehis talented fists to Tacoma this month to compete in an important Golden Gloves tournament."Bill has got to get a lot of , exposure against good compe- , tition," Ferguson said. "We will fight atevery tournament we can. I just hope Moscow is not too far above sea level," he said. Ring event returns, minus wet t-shirts "So You Think Your Tough" returns at 8 p.m. tomorrow to the Whatcom SportsArena. Promoters John Borman and James Ferguson purchased the rights to present the competition from Ringside Productions for $5,000.

Ferguson was referring to the Oct. 20 version of the event that featured.a wet T-shirt contest, and former Playboy Centerfold, Lisa Sohm. "This is going to be something thewhole family can attend," Ferguson said. "We still have a woman doing the round number cards, but she will be tastefully dressed," he added.

When trying to decide what I wanted that would exude Christmas withouttreading the same worn-out artistic themes, I came up with more ideas of what I didn't want than what Iwanted. This became quite apparent when it came to discussing the theme with an art professor oncampus who was to put me in touch with an artist. I said I wanted a Middle East flavor, and definitely astar. But, the art instructor told me, that was only one aspect of Christmas. Why not something like,say, Santa Claus? I cringed. No Santa would appear on this cover if I had a sayâ€”I insisted onsomething "religious." But not traditional. I didn't want any babes in mangers, or chubby madonnas tosatisfy empty Christmas sentiment for those who aren't "religious" yet enjoy the religious trappingsof the season. - So, something traditional without the tradition was what I seemed to be looking for. That didn't leave much to work with. But if the illustration itself is confusing, then I think that's where itseffectiveness lies. It attempts to show the schizophrenia of the Christmas holiday. It's not a call to "getback to the tradition of Christmas." The actual tradition we North Americans carry out leaves a greatdeal to be desired. But neither is it meant to be a slam against so-called commercialism atChristmas. Who are we kidding? We're materialistic all year round.

In a comparative study of Santa portraits- in popularmagazines of the last 50 years, including The Saturday Evening Post and Reader's Digest, Santaappears to be getting younger and more human-like. Before the Depression, Santa was pictured aselfish. He still had a magical aura and it was okay for him to be short and obese. The pipe still hung fromhis mouth and sometimes smoke rings were evidence he might even be smoking something in thecorncob. Today, Mr. Claus might still have that abdominal overhang, but he has acquired a tailoredshape. He is about the height of the average quarterback and his hands are free to hold a Hickory Farmsshopping bag or examine jogging shorts. Smoking definitely is out of the Northpole lifestyle. During the'30s through the '50s, Santa was good copy for magazine covers or full-page illustrations. Recently hehas gone commercial, posing mostly for toy and department store advertisements. In depressed and war years, Santa's clothes had a fuzzy, cotton texture. The colors were bold and uniform: He always worebright red and tied his coat with the traditional wide shiny black belt. He wore mittens to keep his handswarm and winked as if sharing a Christmas secret. Today, Santa is wearing synthetics and at timesdefies tradition. His clothes are sometimes glossy and he has been seen jogging in green silk shorts. Ifhe winks, he Usually is sipping scotch or snuggling up to the Mrs., getting in touch with alternativemethods of keeping his hands warm. Photographers and artists often had to make the trek to theNorthpole to capture Santa on paper. But in the last 15 years, Santa has been seen on Florida beachesor sampling candy in New York bakeries. In the early '60s, Santa lost his cap somewhere, and in a fewphotos, seemed to be balding a bit. In one ad in Time magazine, Santa donned lovebeads and let hisbeard grow shaggy. For a while, Santa showed his age and in the early '70s, seemed to be getting pale.Recently, he must have found an elusive youth elixer, because he has gotten that full head of hair backand shaped up. In a graphic in Reader's Digest this month, Santa looked as though he could competewith Johnny Travolta at the local disco. Christmas lists Students wish for Christmas goodies by SUEMITCHELL Lights, garlands and wreaths have gone up all over campus.. Along with these, students arelooking forward to what Santa will stuff in their stockings. This time of tinsel and good cheer has broughtdreams of going home and eating well during the holidays. Senior biochemistry major Gina Ylitalo hasvisions of recuperating from finals at home with her family. Jackleen Allen, a junior environmentaljournalism major, said she is really looking forward to just relaxing at Christmas. She added, "I wouldalso like some wool socks to keep my feet warm." Now that outside and dorm temperatures are closerto freezing, many students are asking for warm snugglies under their trees. Steve Hall, a junior fromLynnwood and a business administration major, wants a down jacket for the winter cold. AI Madeiv aNash Hall freshman and business major, wants underwear and socks from Santa. Also on the practicalside, Sarah Daves, a senior English major, said she needs cooking utensils, "because I just movedhere and don't have anything to cook with." However, practical gifts do not always top students'Christmas lists. Jerry Smith, a junior business major, hopes for a new car. Freshman Rob Wyckhamhopes Santa leaves a stereo and "lots of records" on Christmas morning. Heartfelt wishes fromstudents also abound at Christmas. Elementary education senior Cindi Cameron said, "I ' wisheveryone would realize what Christmas meant for once." Beth Romerdahl, a senior French major, saidshe is looking to the future, hoping for a "positive teaching experience." Associated Student. boardmember3 ek*li;?yifMd "said he "wishes the governor would put in a new university president in thecampus stocking." Of course some students are not awaiting Christmas with such anticipation.

As I left the store, I couldn't help but notice two old men standing behind a donationbox. The sign on the box said something about a relief fund for crippled children at Christmas. Theirclothes weren't brightly colored at all and they offered no free samples or gifts. They were asking formoney outright.

It is called Hanukkah, the Jewish Feast of Lights,an eight-day festival commemorating the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrians and therededication of the temple in Jerusalem. This year the festival begins Dec. 15. Rabbi Fred Gartner, ofthe Beth Israel synagogue in Belr lingham explained the religious significance of Hanukkah and itsbeginnings 2,100 years ago in Palestine. A Greek Syrian king, Antio-chus Epiphanes, wanted to covertthe Jewish people in Palestine to the Greek way of life. The Jews resisted the hel-lenization of theirculture and religion, the rabbi said, "because their traditions were more important than anything else."ANCIENT WORDS, OLD TRADITIONS-Rabbi Fred Gartner of the Beth Israel Synagogue in Bellinghamchants aloud from the Torah using an ornate silver "yad." This instrument replaces the human hand inreading scripture so that no word can be changed in the ancient text. The leader of this resistance wasMattathias Maccabee who challenged the Jews to rise up and defeat the invaders. His war cry, "mil'adonay li," which means "whoever is for God, follow me," rallied his forces. In the ensuing battle,Mattathias was killed and his third son, Judah, continued the struggle, the rabbi said. "Judah Maccabee defeated the mighty Greek army and the king had to concede that the holy temple in Jerusalem couldbe rededicated to the service of the Jewish faith," the rabbi added. To cleanse and restore the temple, itwas necessary to rekindle the Ner Tamid, which is a source of fuel for the eternal light. The rabbi pointed out that only the purest olive oil could be used and one small flask was all that could be found. Hesaid, in ancient times, it took eight days to produce a fresh supply of olive oil. "Then, a miraclehappened," the rabbi said. "The fuel in the small bottle lasted eight days." Hanukkah, which meansdedication, celebrates this miracle and the defeat of the Greek army. Candles are used now for theceremony and are placed on successive days in a menorah, a candelabrum, made up of nine branches.This ninth branch,of . the menorah, called the shamus (servant), is used to light the others. Hanukkah is a home festival observed at sunset and accompanied by the wearing of the yarmulke and talith, thehead covering and shawl traditional in the Jewish faith. Although Hanukkah is not the most importantreligious holiday, like Yom Kippur or Rosh Hashana, it is the most joyous. Howard, Levin, a Western vi-coed major and a member of the Israeli Club, remembers Hanukkah celebrations from his childhoodas a time of "presents, parties, good times and gelt (money)." "The story of Hanukkah is so amazing tome," he said, "with the military defeat and the miracle of the candles." "I remember the ritual oflighting the candles each night , at sunset," Levin said, adding that sunset is important in Jewishreligious history symbolizing an "end and a beginning." Rabbi Gartner said that Hanukkah is more acelebration for Jewish children, describing a toy, a spinning top ca'led a dreydel, which is given toyoungsters at this festive time. "Four words are inscribed on the sides of the dreydel, 'nes gadol hayahsham,' which means 'a great miracle happened there'," he said. He added that An. lsnael. jheinscri^tioh'reaas^'a'gre^^mir^ acle happened here."

Children, especially, are enraptured by the mystique of it all whileadults also engage in customs they can't explain. Some Western students from various parts of theworld described their Christmas holidays at home, revealing both similarities and differences to our own. When still a boy in Lima, Peru, Roberto Tong, ajunior majoring in business, witnessed the nationalousting of Santa Claus. Like the villian of a children's Christmas tale, the military government banned the legendary figure, which was thought to be too "American." "I was mad," Tong said. "I was used to Santa Claus." It all happened in 1968, when General Juan Velasco Alvarado iseized' control of the democratic government. Changing several laws and policies, the grinch-like Velasco halted all production of SantaClaus goods in disdain of the American tradition. "A lot of people protested amongst themselves, but atthat time they could not protest the government," Tong said. All was not lost. Just like we foundsaccharin for a substitute, the Peruvians were gifted with the government-instituted Nino Manuel, aninfant representing the Christmas Spirit. Indigenous to Peru and strong in meaning, most weresatisfiedâ€”but no the Tongs. "At home, we still have a huge image of a Santa face that lights up." notthe Tongs. Although Santa lists are now obsolete, Peru still shares many American (or other) customs.Nativity scenes, such as the one that takes up a large space in the Tong's living room each year, andChristmas trees, though, artificial, are popular holiday symbols. The warm spring Christmas in Peru iscelebrated downtown with fir trees, bells and lights lining the avenues. "I think Christmas is almost thesame in all the countries," Tong said. Almost but the subtle changes make the holiday different in othercountries. In Nigeria, exchanging gifts is important, but that custom takes a back seat to anothertradition. , "More expected (than gifts) is the sharing of rice," Esther Dandaura, a third-year chemistryand environmental health major, said. Dandaura is from Kadune, Nigeria, which has a mixedpopulation of Christians and Moslems. Dandaura, a Christian, explained that huge amounts of "Jollofrice" are prepared and given by platefuls to close friends and neighbors, which sometimes amount, to as many as fifteen. Another tradition of Western Africa is that of the "O-juju" dancers, bands of maskedchildren who parade neighborhoods singing, cheering and dancing. Their antics are rewarded with money or "chin-chin," a Christmas cookie made for children. "Our Christmas is an incorporated tradition.We've mixed it - with American customs," Dandaura said. However, one tradition they surely did notborrow from America is the preparing of the Christmas goat. The Dandauras usually buy a live goat about two weeks before the holiday. After being fed and cared for, it is slaughtered and stewed with tomatoes, onions and peppers fried in oil. She said that the most important activity on Christmas, other thanattending Anglican services, is visiting friends, which is done while exchanging the rice. "It's a really bigflow of partying," she said. That "partying" is, of course, Nigerian styleâ€”void of egg nog, champagneand other forms of- American Christmas cheer, which are looked upon with disapproval. On the contrary, Japanese celebrations take on more familiar forms. Introduced mainly during the U.S. occupation in the'40s, Christmas is complete with Christmas trees, decorations and "sake," a Japanese wine. ToYoshiko Iimura, it doesn't matter that she's not Christian, or of any religion. "Mostly, we have a partywith friends. The celebration is for enjoyment; it doesn't relate to religion," she said.. "We go to a templeor shrine, and many women dress up in kimonos. I don't like them. It takes a long time to get a kimonoon tight," she said. In Switzerland, the Christmas season begins on Dec. 6, which is St. Nicholas, orSanti Klaus Day, David Jenny, a first-year student, said. Jenny is from Basel, along the German border,where Christmases are usually rainy and wet. "It's kind of exceptional if there's a lot of snow," he said.On Santi Klaus Day, Jenny and his brother and sister would sometimes be visited by the rotund manhimself. "A friend of ours disguised himself as Santa and was supposed to know what good and badthings we had done all year. Our parents would give him a list," Jenny said. For West Coast Australians, Christmas is best spent lying on an Indian Ocean beach. Denice Hall, of Perth, Australia, said that thisis the wisest choice because the day is "inevitably about 100 degrees." Christmas dinners of cold meat, salads and wine are often eaten outside. Instead of singing about Santa and his eight tiny reindeer,however, they sing of Father Christmas and his white boomersâ€” Australian slang for kangaroos. 212W.

According to a Salvation Armypublication, Joseph McFee, a Salvation Army captain, started the custom in an effort to provide a freeChristmas dinner for the needy in San Francisco. His idea of a collection kettle was inspired by alarge pot he had seen in Liverpool, England. It was called "Simpson's pot" and charitable donationswere thrown in by passers-by. McFee placed the first Salvation Army kettles at the Oakland ferrylanding on Market Street. In 1895, the kettle idea spread eastward to Boston and New York City. In1901, funds from the kettles in New York City provided a huge sit-down dinner in Madison SquareGardenâ€”a tradition that lasted many years. Today, families are given grocery.checks to buy andprepare their own Christmas dinners. Homeless poor are still invited to share holiday dinners andfestivities at Salvation Army centers. The kettles themselves have changed since the appearance of thefirst plain pot in 1891. Today's models range from pots with self-ringing bells, to complete booths withpublic address systems that play traditional Christmas carols. The Salvation Army said the kettlesare a major contribution in helping more than 3 million people during the holiday season. In Bellingham,collection kettles are out shortly after Thanksgiving every Friday and Saturday until Christmas. OnFridays, the kettles are manned by Salvation Army workers, and Saturdays, local service clubs such asthe Kiwanis, Sor-optimists, Lions and Rotary clubs donate their time. The kettles will be located in busy shopping areas downtown, K-Mart, Fred Meyer, Sears and Payless. Along with the kettles, theSalvation Army has a Toy and Joy store every year to help supply toys to less fortunate families.Donations may be made at the Salvation Army Citadel, 209 Prospect St. New toys are preferred ifpossible, but a repair program is available. S An official from the JSalva- ^ tion Army said it is working ^. together with the Department Â§ of Social and Health Services Â°S to meet the needs of the people -15 in Bellingham. The main rea- ^ son is to avoid duplication of services and cut down on waste, the officialsaid.

Or more than likely, they have fieard of the annual Campus Day, but don't know what it is. I could tell you newcomers that it's a day upon which you are privileged to walk on the campus—all over it, in fact—(Mr. Dack, please quit holding that shovel over my head). But I won't, because that would be misrepresentation! NO POINTS CHARGED As the records go, on the first Campus Day, back on May 11, 1923, students brought their lunches and traveled by boat to Normal Eighty Acres at Lake Whatcom to clear land. And the best worker rated a T-bone steak at a local restaurant. In June, 1924, things went on as before, but this time the ASB furnished coffee to refresh workers. In 1925, due to a conflicting alumni banquet, the event was called off. Putting things back on the beam on a morn in 1926, students really did tread on the campus, but for a good cause. Dandelions were uprooted and tall grass cut. In the afternoon, men students faced the faculty in a baseball game and the Campus Day was climaxed with a dance in the armory that evening. The next year, studes again followed the "All Work and No .Play Makes Us Dull Kids" slogan, by starting out with an assembly (no doubt to get inspired), and then proceeded to clean-up the campus^ After...a.:diamond .bottle with keen competition, men and women students vs. faculty, the' evening was spent at the American Theater. EDITOR HUSHED ; Things went on as such from year to year, clean-up jobs spreading to the athletic field and the section of Sehome hill behind the college, until May 10,1932 On this "spring day, a contest was held to change the name of Norma Istad. But nothing came of • it. And then the Editor, of the Viking (the name of the paper 'then) suggested a playground at Normalstad. He' also suggested q new name for the site, but the Board of Control promptly put the damper on said name. (Oh, these revolutionary editors!). LAKEWOOD, NEW NAME • Ten years after the last trek to Normalstad, Campus Day on May 7, 193$, once again saw studes traveling to the Lake. At this time the title, Lakewood, was bestowed, upon the playground. - In 1932, after an enthusiastic ticket sale (tickets paid for transportation and food), WWC students began their annual day with a short general assembly to, receive instructions. It was cus-/ ternary by^this :time for .the fe|r {ows.;;to have cleaned-up Lakewood the;•; clay: before and for Campus Day itself to be a fplipking piercer ^ There was a ^ water carnival, boxing bouts, t te traditional baseball gan^^ evening as^ serhbly followed by a tennis court / During the ^ext few years; a tug-oflwar^ Replaced th^ boxing; a diying exhibition was jadded, and thev^evjeriihg assembly fhad contest skits;ibety^n\brgani^d houses^ f$j yes? in$ 939, 12! merr students gt; ^^^entered ;iri a bathing beauty artiest: • ? 7\hci ;^as •[:. they Vimotleled: rsffoj'ts ahidyresses tetore the rear-' jng,:a^iehc^six :%6rn^ •• s^utietits julgeG^;th^^auties VOL.

The close of the drive found the faculty with 37% the winners of the interclass-faculty competition, and the. junior-senior class, the losers with 14%. The freshmen placed second with a percentage of 26% and the sophomores came in third with 25%. As a result of-this competition juniors and seniors shined shoes in the main hall Thursday and today. Under the direction of president Walter Baker and vice president Doris Bishop, the class worked in shifts of two, shining shoes between. classes and from 12:15, to 1:00. 5{* a shine was charged and the money taken in will be added to the WWCollegian fund. Gunner Jevning Action Victim • According to notification received by the parents, H rold'Jev-ning, petty officer 3/c in the.Navy, and a former student of WWC, is missing in action. A member of a Navy gun crew, Harold has been serving in the Atlantic theater for the last six months. Previous to this, and since his enlistment two years ago, he has been in the Pacific operations. Faculty Reviews Retirement Law • Recently placed in the hands of faculty members were questionnaires concerning the present retirement laws. In order to warrant legislative action, a representative group in favor of revision is necessary. ( Included in these changes would be the amount of pension given per month upon retiring. As it stands now the amount is $40. Also the retirement requirements are: Allowance given at age of 60 and after 30 years of teaching. With-drawment before reaching the regular requirements for retiring, and the position of those aleady retired were points also considered in the questionnaire. lt; Third Grade Gives Indian Assei Port Townsend Women's Ensemble Meeting P™**™ Tuesday Sets Program Representative Teachers From County Discuss Local Problems Taken Up Beginning April 15 • Arrangements for the In-Service training program beginning about April 15, were made last week by the planning group which met in Port Townsend, Thursday, March 2.

Every night, except Saturday, Ben makes the rounds on his night-watching. There isn't a thing he won't do to see the girls happy. (Well almost—not even Ben could console the lonely hearts where the -man shortage attacks, but he sure tries.) Latest night when it's dark and weird out on the, streets, Ben meets the buses and accompanies the girls safely home. One time, when the bus was crowded with Edens hall gals, Ben waited to walk the group up the steps. As the girls saw him, they shrieked, "Ben!", and dashed toward him. The baffled crowd on the bus sat in bewilderment as they watched the girls cluster about the six-foot man. "Hey, what's wrong with your ceiling light? Well, Ben will fix it. Is that drawer stuck? Ben will fix it. You say your shelf is broken? Ben'll fix that, too. Why, he even mends feelings." For almost eleven years, Ben has been walking the same rounds through the dorm, the main building, and through the industrial arts building. He punches all the little black stations you see here and there throughout the building. Living an owl's life of sleep in the day and work at night, Ben keeps a close watch on the campus and the dorm girls. He lopes quietly through the dorm halls about six times a night starting at 10 p. m. Once in a while he'll stop and tell a story. Sometimes the dorm girls write notes to Ben on the blackboard in the attic. He always answers them. If so desired, Ben will knock and wake a girl up at five to study. He remembers them on their birthdays. The sixteen keys on his ring might jingle a bit as he passes the door. With his time clock slung over one shoulder and flashlight stuck into a back pocket, Ben Van Etten has proved to be the most popular man on the campus. 'U' Debate Squad Discusses Russia • As an interesting feature of the winter quarter assembly program, the women's debate squad of the University presented a discussion Tuesday entitled, "On What Basis Should We Cooperate With The Soviet Union?"

Federation Suggested The first solution speaker suggested the only way to obtain peace is through a World Federation with the idea of power destroyed. She expressed the viewpoint that the only "way for coopera- _ tion was through the suggested World Federation. The second speaker had a similar plan, promoting a World Federation also, but wanted it established several years after the close of the war. In her opinion it was up to the United States and Russia to work together for the World Union. The formal discussion was followed by a period of student questioning at which time the more-im-s portant points were cleared up. More Photo Quiz? Here It Is; WeAimToPliz!

According to the pre-registration reports, most of the thoughts have turned to tennis making it necessary to enlarge the classes... To date, there have been' only three men sign up for track. But more are expected to do so before registration closes. Sam Carver, the track coach, had hoped to field some semblance of a U*H*V, and thought maybe he could line up some competition if enough boys turned out, while Lappenbusch plans to make most of his tennis intramural, because of the number in his beginning classes and the lack of variety competition. • A PAT ON THE BACK Speaking of spring sports, I've been wondering if the students and public realize the tremendous job being done by the athletic heads of WWC. With only 40 men and 200 women in school, Western Washington" has been able to keep up an active and interesting sports program for both the participants and the spectators. Taking the members of the pre-war Winco league as an example, how many were able to organize top basketball outfits? That one's easy. Only EWC and WWC; and Eastern had to drop the sport almost before the season started because of the lack of men. Added to this is the fact that the Vikings were an all civilian outfit; one of the few in the Northwest. • PLAYED THE TOUGHEST However, even more significant was the caliber of basketball played by the blue and white. They gave-'every team they played a close, hard fought battle. They almost defeated a top service-civilian team combination playing for hie U of W on two different occasions. They beat two top service outfits, and but for a few tough breaks might haVe added a few more pelts to their belts. In every case, the teams they played were the best competition that could be found. • HOPEFUL This spring, Sam Carver has hopes of doing a little something with his track team. If it is at all possible to train an aggregation and find competition, Carver will do it. Chuck Lappenbusch has already made some contacts for basketball games next year and expects to have an excellent schedule drawn up by the time that basketball rolls around next year. He hopes to have quite a few7college"ClubS"orrthe~roster and plans to start the season early. He has a very optimistic view on the success of next years squad, as '" his present team will return almost intact. Girls' sports have a wide interest among the whole of the student body, and their basketball competition has been as close and as hard fought as ever. Plans for having mixed men and. women softball teams for an intramural league have been drawn up. The girls hope to arouse enough interest in the sport to make possible for an all woman softball league along with the mixed league. LUDWICK GETS RATINGS Ernie Ludwick Was picked by the University of Washington basketball team as a guard on their all opponent team, due to his fine showing against them. Then last week Ernie was chosen one of the five best players to. perform during the AAU play-offs in Seattle. ] ^'" • SHORT SHOTS Heard Hal Loop, former WWC student and tennis «tar, now a midshipman in the US Navy, bragging about the climate of the East and about the Navy—Those names the girls have concocted for their basketball teams make the Russian tongue twisters look simple—The abbreviations for the names run into ten letter words—It looks as though our water bugs will have to take a rest, while the city tries to beat Mr. Polio into submission.

The score was .tied with less than a minute to go, and then Sykes, the big gun for the Canadian boys, dropped in a rebound shot to win , the game. Early Lead UBC The first quarter was all UBC and they ran up an eight point lead over the blue and white squad. Lowell Doud kept the WWC five in the game by making the first eight points. The Canadians, dominating the backboard throughout the game, made good use of it in piling up their lead. At the start of the second period Ross. Doud and Burklund found their shooting eyes and proceeded to put the Viks in the lead. The score was WWC 26—UBC 25. at half time. Locals Jump Ahead Beginning the second half with a rush, the local quint jumped into a nine point lead. However, the height of the Canadian boys began to tell, and they crept up slowly on the Vikings. Big Gene Sivert-son started to hit the bucket and Roy Wark rallied the defense to keep the Bellingham club out in front. The score at the end of the. third quarter was WWC 38—UBC 36. The blue and white maintained the lead till the last three minutes, when Lowell Doud, the high point man for the Viks with 20 counters, fouled out. Then Sykes, the American center for the Canadians, who dropped in 26 points during the game, tied the score with a quick basket. This same Sykes won the game a minute later by pushing in a rebound.

Although their record is not very startling, the Vikings picked the toughest competition they could find.

Dr. Allport capitalizedon the fact "A man who pulls habits out of a rat." that the ampliiier system was out of order bybeginning his talk with several jokes and comments on automation. He then proceeded toestablish the difference between psychologists and psychiatrists. According to Allport, "apsychologist is a man who pulls habits out of a rat. A psychiatrist is a man who goes to a strip-teaseand watches the audience.'' v ^â€¢According to Dr. Allport, a psychology professor at HarvardUniversity, there are two dominant ways of tackling psychology. One is the Aristotelian method to find, through classification and analysis, "What is man?" The other is the Augustinian approach, "Who amI?" Aristotle exalts reason; St. Augustine exalts awareness. There is little agreement amongpsychologists as to which of these methods should be employed. Dr. Allport then broke psychology into four main divisions: positivism, psychoanalysis, personalism, and existentialism. The mainstream ofWestern psychology since John Locke has been through the positivist approach. Positivists look atman as "A reactive being," according to Allport. His actions are determined by outer forces and innerdrives. Positivists study â€¢specifics and don't draw iinal conclusions. "The positivist rarely knows 'he isa prisoner of specific philosophical outlooks." Psychoanalysis like positivism regards man as amechanical reactor. It deals with the id and the superego. Allport said, "In the psychoanalytic view,the individual is kicked around in the parallel of forces.' Religion in this theory is regarded as an illusion,an escape from the consciousness. The personalistic theory looks at man as a patterned entity in whom it is impossible to account lor psychological processes. Dr. Alport, however, cut the consideration ofthis school short. He said, "We shouldn't go very far into this 'system, because the school doesn't reallyexist." Existentialism has no single answer to the nature of man. Some answers that existentialistsderive are in direct contradiction to each other. DR. FRED KNAPMAN Receives Fellowship Fred W.Knapman, Professor of Chemistry at Western Washington College, has been appointed an honorarymember of the faculty of the Chemistry Department of University College, London, for 1961-62. He hasreceived a fellowship from the National Science Foundation in support of this appointment . At theUniversity of London, Dr. Knapman will be engaged in independent 'study and research in organicchemistry. In addition, he plans to examine the undergraduate science program of several colleges anduniversities in England as well as those of a few secondary schools. Dr. and Mrs. Knapman will leavefrom New York on a German freighter on August 25 and will spend three weeks in Germany andFrance betore beginning work in London. After leaving London in Spring 1962, the Knapmans plan toreturn to the Continent to spend several months exploring cities, villages and beaches beforereturning to Western Washington State College for Fall 1962 classes. According to Allport, theexistentialist wants to "know the worst and Will study chemistry at London University make the bestof it." They are generally agreed that man's nature cannot be discovered through science alone, thatall knowledge must be faced, and that .man's restlessness is a starting point for consideration. All-portsaid that existentialists maintain that, the only thing keeping 'mankind from committing suicide is asense of responsibility. According to Allport, Hindu psychology seems to be bigger and better thanany one school of American psychology. Hindi psychology says that man is ruled by four basic drives:pleasure, success, duty, and iiberation from the other three. Allport called psychology the science ofthe 20th Century, and said that any science which is new cannot be wholly true. In closing All-portsaid, "We have a duty to study the traditional works on the nature of man, and we must considerpersonality a very open system. At the close of his lecture Dr. All-port responded to questions fromthe audience. DR. NEAL MILLER Last Visiting Psychologist Dr. Neal Elgar Miller, the last of the threedistinguished psychologists to be brought to Western's campus, will present lectures on thepsychology of learning. Dr. Miller, the son of Dr. Irving E. Miller, former chairman of the Departmentof Education at Western, is a professor of psychology at Yale University, where he received his Page 2WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN July 21, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 July 21 - Page 3 ---------- Ph.D. degree in 1935. He was elected president of the American Psychological Association, and holds memberships in various professional organizations. He has served as advisory and consultant tothe Secretary of Defense, the Air Force, and the Army. The visiting lecturer has published many articles on experimental psychology in professional journals, monographs, and books. He has receivedvarious psychological and scientific awards. July 31, Dr. Miller will present a lecture entitled "Fear andCourage" at 8:15 p.m. in the College Auditorium. "Experimental Studies of Conflict, Behavior, andDrugs," will be featured Tuesday morning at 10:00 in the auditorium. In an afternoon session, Dr. Millerwill discuss "Experimental Studies of Hunger and Thirst." This discussion wlil be held in the VikingUnion at 4:00. LAKEWOOD Unknown to Many An ideal spot for enjoying these sun-filled days isLakewood. It is surprising that so many students are not aware of this college property which is available for their use. The Lakewood area is located only seven miles from the College on the south shore ofLake Whatcom. There is a direction sign on Lakeway Drive. Acquired in 1922 from the will of an insanegentleman, Lakewood covers eight acres of woods, except for approximately 1500 feet of clearing near the waterfront. This clearing has a cabin, which may be used for club meeting or private parties, a bathhouse, two rowboats, a canoe, several picnic tables and fireplaces. Another caibin is back in the treesnear the clearing. Many improvements have been and are being made this year on the facilities. Threenew fireplaces and five new picnic tables were built last spring, and there are tentative plans to rebuildthe bath and boat houses, as well as repaint the dock. A field has been cleared and a badminton court is available. Since Lakewood is owned by the College, persons utilizing these facilities must abide by College policy â€” meaning no iquor. Any Western student is free to use July 21, 1961 the Lakewoodarea at any time. Although it is preferred that you check with ASB Summer Chairman, Gordy Mill.Keys for the cabin may be obtained from Gordy in Room 205 of the V.U. Building. CHAMBER MUSICCONCERT Presented in V.U.

It was recommended that Facilities be included inthe summer budget. The social committee reported that there was good attendance at the last mixer,and that they would try to have another one later this summer. The general consensus of opinion ofthe board is that there should be a closer connection between regular ASB and Summer ASB. Also, thegroup finds that the lag of two weeks between spring and summer quarters is not beneficial and are trying to work out a new scheme for selecting the chairman of summer legislature. Gordy Mill, present boardchairman, said, "I am looking forward to improving the relation of summer B.O.C. and regular yearstudent government. I have confidence in this summer's board to take the steps necessary for thisimprovement." Mill also stated that all students are invited to attend B.O.C. meetings, and participate indiscussions.

XXIX—NO. 10 WASHINGTON S T A T E NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON ROBOTS TO RULE AUGUST 14-15 Friday, August 9; 1929 COLUMNIST HAS SOMETHING ON TODAY'S JOURNALISM THEN, YE DIARY ByG. W. L. And while, the fair editor awaits a Ions: distance call from the Paget Sound biological station., her., best columnist once more fluently trips over the typewriter keys ('ere the curfew knells the toll of another class)—and so 'tis written that:— Going to class regularly,, preparing lessons conscientiously, turning in with the curfew and out with the cockcrow, parking in prescribed territory, is dull copy, because it is normal (Normal?). You have to be a nonconformist to get YOUR NAME in the general run of newspapers; maybe a student suicide or worse yet—a living one—claims a better space in your paper. I am not writing about recordings of Normal school or college publications, for they are innocent of the crime. /What is collegiate news for the representative press association cer- ] tainly is not news for the campus sheet. It is very different to make "good" school newspaper an interesting one. Why? Because the secret of the whole CONUNDRUM of what's what in the morals of college journals—is that "good" news, to be interesting enough to break into print must, in the bargain, be DRAMATIC, inspiring, or extraordinary. Good news is therefore scarce. The average student, as a matter . of fact, happens to be very COMMONPLACE. A professor whose name the writer remembers, settles our mind on that score when he writes: "There is not, and never-has been, room in the world for many EXTRAORDINARY personalities. The world must always be made up largely of average people who work under the di^ rection of the specially ENDOWED. If a thousand NAPOLEONS or a thousand Carrie Nations should appear in one generation, the WORLD might become a rather disagreeable place. The present attainments of civilization would not have been possible without co-operation, recognition* of SUPERIOR ability or fitness, and .delegation of authority." But there can be another view that the majority of studes are supers and it is only the super-super who draws a headline. Yes, it is true that the commercial newspaper is a pretty clear mirror of public activity; and conversely it can be said that the campus paper is not a very good REFLECTOR of instittuional life. It can't be and live. The masses of people always dictate the kind of stuff that is found in the average journal—but it is the best in the instittuion who say what is to go in . the college weekly. Fortunately, college journalists are trained morally as to what constitutes good news,;so they contribute a 'sense for good news' to their readers while on the campus. But when the college writer leaves for his new post out in the world very little of this 'sense' falls forward— due of course to his bending to a pattern of COMMERCIAL JUORNALISM, and other kinds of journalism. IS GOAt OF LAST TRIP Trip Takes Hikers Through Wild and Rocky Country and Promises . Variety in Scenery and Thrills. MAY SEE WILD ANIMALS Will Climb Ruth Mountain Sunday Morning, Where Fine View of Mt. Shuksan May Be Seen. Hannegan Pass is the goal that has been set by about thirty-one students who will leave the campus this afternoon about 4 o'clock. Their first camping place will be the forestry camp six miles from Mt. Shuksan, and on Saturday between 10 o'clock and noon they will reach the pass. Very little snow will be encountered on this trip but vast stretches of wild and rough mountainous country will be seen. Encounter Wild Animals Of unusual interest will be the wild animals. There are ,a great number of wild goats and the hikers may have the thrill of seeing their first wild bear. It is said that no one who goes to fish in the Chilli-wack river ever comes back without fish. There is also a possibility of seeing deer. The thousands of acres of wild flowers which are now in bloom will prove a fascinating and beautiful study. Ruth Mountain Next On Sunday morning they will climb Ruth Mountain, which is steep and rocky. Upon reaching the summit, a remarkable view may be had of the north side of Mt. Shuksan. There will also be an opportunity of sliding in the heather. One can obtain some remarkable photographs of this mountain because of its roughness. Home Sunday Evening After an unusual scenic trip through acres of wild flowers, in view of thousands of acres of untouched timber, through avalanche districts, through the haunts of bears and other wild animals, and by glacial torrents and .myriads of" water falls, the hikers will return to the forestry camp. They are expected to arrive at the campus late Sunday evening. This trip ends the hikes planned in the summer recreational program.

Miss Dow has won many, favorable comments in her former recitals here." Students feel a rather personal interest in her, due to the fact that she is a student of Madame Davenport Engberg, who was closely connected with the musical activities of this school when she resided in Bellingham. The gifted young violinist will be remembered by many as a very talented artist.. Chorus Will Sing The Normal School Chorus, directed by Miss Grace Moore, will present a program on Friday which is the culmination of the quarter's work. The fifty members who have worked faithfully and enthusiastic cally, have planned a well rounded concert. Katherin^ Myers Hess will be the soloist and in'addition will sing several obligato parts. Piano selections by Jean Philippi add variety to the program. The accompanist for the Chorus will be Miss Edith Strange, who is a piano instructor for the school. . Carrianna Tucker and Barney Chichester, who as Helen Glory and Domin, play the leads in the Drama club play "R. U. R.", to be given August 14 and 15, are appearing before a Normal audience in lead roles for the second time. Miss Tucker had the woman's lead in "The Poor Nut", a comedy of modern youth presented by the Drama club in February, 1928. During her attendance at Whatcom High school, Miss Tucker was also interested in dramatics and played parts in both the junior and senior plays, the lead in the latter. Mr. Chichester played the male lead in the spring quarter play. "Icebound" and had parts in "Sunup", and "Seven Keys to Baldpate", the two other plays of the past year. "Three Live Ghosts", "Craig's Wife", and "The Poor Nut", all Drama club plays, also have Mr. .Chichester's name on their cast. And two years ago he appeared in a production of the Bellingham Players Company, "Bill of Divorcement". In a criticism of the play, "R. U. R.", in which these two students have the leads, Heywood Broun writes in the New York World, "The play begins as an extraordinary searching study of the nature of human life and human society . . . Capek is potentially one of the great men in the modern drama. He has devised a scene at the end of the third act as awe-inspiring as anything we have ever seen in the theater". POLLY DEE LEARNARD AWAY ON VACATION Miss Polly Dee Learnard, Secretary to President C. H. Fisher, is away on a month's vacation. Miss Learnard, with her mother and sister who drove up from Gil-roy, California, left on a boat from Seattle on July 30, for a twelve-day trip to Alaska. They will probably go as far north as Skagway. Upon returning to Seattle, Miss Leanard will return to her home at Gilroy, with her mother and sister. After a two weeks' visit there and in San Francisco, Miss Learnard plans to fly back in an airplane from San Francisco to Seattle. She will probably resume her duties here the day after Labor Day. PLAY WILL FEATURE FUTURISTIC DESIGN Designs in Keeping with Unusual Theme and Odd Setting of Play. Original Design by D. Edmunson. As-a final step in completing the stage effects for "R. U. R." the Drama club play, the Play Production class has been painting the panels which are to be used.. The colorful modernistic design will be the one note, of color to be used in the scenic effects. " As the play is very unusual in theme, the background must be in keeping with" it. The class has succeded well in working out the original design submitted by Dean Edmundson, so that it will be the proper setting for the mysterious "Robots". Posters Made Posters for advertising the play were undertaken as individual problems by members of this class, each one carrying out his conception of what the poster should portray.

Edison, the great Northwest and particularly the State of Washington has again been signally honored. And it is only natural that this recognition should be especially felt and appreciated by those nearest his age, the great army of school children, not only in this section bjut throughout the United States. When viewing the achievements of mature minds the great majority of us are apt to feel at times that our small efforts of young ideas are hopelessly crude and immaterial. To know that such great men as Edison, Ford, Lindbergh and many others are genuinely interested in every one of us, giving of their priceless time to one of our number, is or should be the highest type of inspiration. Incidentally, we applaud the modesty of Wilbur Huston who says his good sense tells him jhat he can never hope to be as great as Edison. No, there will never be another Edison. -, .—-—o- JUST IMAGINE! My gorsh, folks! Did you ever hear the beat! Imagine it!

Of course reserved seats for outsiders are fifty cents, but even that's cheap. That means my whole family can go.

Those who hasten to join the band of sophisticated criticisers of college and college life, forget that most of the great men of today are college products. Anyway, what if we aren't all great! Let's give our colleges credit that they are trying to live up to their standards of education. If there is any good material in a manor woman, college will bring it out. They can't deny that college is producing men and women with a cultural background, wide civic interests and an ability to handle business. College rounds off the rough edges. Each individual has a competitor for bettering himself in every other individual. In this manner he develops initiative, self-confidence and poise. There is nothing wrong with the colleges; it's the people behind them who lack confidence. They are too ready to believe the worst, too ready to accept the 'lime light' stories of the minority. They stop seeking the proof before they learn the real facts of college life. They don't find the proof of the majority, who are making a serious and constructive effort to better themselves and meet the needs of the present generation. The colleges of today are still experimenting, but when did we ever produce anything worth-while without experimenting, and after it was produced, what thing hasn't needed further experimenting to continually better it. No one, denies that there is a class of students who go to college to "romp" through. Yet no matter where you go—even just in life you find the individual who is trying to get something for nothing. These poor fellows in college just haven't found the purpose of a college education, and the professors couldn't make them absorb education even with the help of a funnel. But—don't forget—that every year the college finds it is able to dispense with a certain number of students, and the greatest number of them am of this type. Don't worry about your taxes being wasted on unappreciative students; the colleges have a good eliminating system. Almost too good in fact. Sometimes a"worker" gets temporarily caught in the web with the "stragglers," but he'll fight and make a comeback. The. students, rather than the reform measures, will make the college. The college lives in the ideals of the student, and if the students are living up to their ideals, the college is'going ahead as far as can be expected. Let's learn the true facts about bur colleges and college life.' Let's give college a break!:;•'/ ',:•:.I--] -^r- : lt;:'^-;:\^^::;;:-.^^;-r;;,.-;:';":1v'^: .--.

Barks We are tired of trying to be cynical, tired of thinking, tired of trying to find something to say that no one else has ever said before. Thoughts are never new but its just our way of putting them that may be novel. We remember of saying once before "The truly priceless thing is the heart that remains changeless forever." (Will you pardon repetition?) But there never has been and never will be that "truly priceless thing." Do you ask the maple tree if it will stand a lusty green through sun and storm? , Do you ask-the lily if its petals of wax will withstand the winter's blast? Yet we expect the heart, the most illusive part of the whole anatomy to weather the storm of Life and remain unchanged through it all. It was an amethist set in silver wasn't it?..

The famous old street, all lit up as per usual, was invaded with the "talking movies" and other types of entertainments that detract' ed from the box sale of the good old fashioned musical comedies, and plays... Then, also, a large percentage of the envied idle rich went to Florida, or other places of apt climatic conditions. The "Battle of the Bums" between young Stribling and Sharkey drew a lot of New York's theater-going crowd down to Florida for a month or so in. the heart of the season. Football games, ice-hockey matches, indoor tennis tournaments; all, had a lot to dp with the unsuccessful Broadway of last year. In all probability, this year, Broadway will be another flop. Producers are already beginning to migrate to Hollywood. In the course of a very few years Broadway will have a large black border around its shining, glittering name. The name that in the past has filled so many country girls with the spirit of unrest. The name that is associated with wild parties and bootleg liquor. Possibly the "black border" will be a crowning achievement in American Social life. Will it be? Is Broadway so Bad? What is your idea of the subject? Viking Teams Play Ul of W.

They would find a more fitting environment in the questionable Normalette"; the coi-umn that reposes" so hautily and disdainfully on the front page. Just turn this sheet over, and you will see it, if you have never noticed it before. No, it is not an advertisement! Speaking of columns of good and bad nature, "Bottled By Bond" has a REAL competitor. The "Daily Bulletin", written by our friend, Elwood C. Davis, is often times quite invigorating—especially when it makes a dirty crack about Miller. Its viewpoint on current news about the school, and its peculiar types of philosophy are usually intellectually beneficial. * * * . • * But back to sports, where this column should dwell, even though the writer is philosophically inclined. By the way, have you ever studied Greek Mythology? If you ever get the time, you will soon discover that they were great athletes, and great philosophers. Maybe there is a correlation, who knows? * * * * Suzanne Waters, slashing driving net star of last six weeks, drew nearly the cellar position on the Women s ladder tennis tourney. Really now, wouldn't it have been better if the winners of last six weeks had been allotted the upper positions? Suzanne now has to force her way to the top by playing mediocre tennis players. * * * * ....The drama club play, "R. U. R." drew a good many fellows out of intra-mural activities, much to the regret of the rest; however, they were taken out for a good cause. Let's support their efforts on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The play is a dandy and it affords quite a good deal of excitement and enjoyment to the audience. * * * * Ask Davis what this New York does to a fellow. * .* * * When a fellow is drawn between the devil and the deep sea, what is he to do? Usually the fellow takes the path that affords the most resistance for fear of the other path. Now, the author of this column doesen't dare be in the vicinity of the institution on the day of the editing of this paper. .Draw, your own conclusions.- Waldo field will be the scene of a baseball game between a hard hitting University ' of Washington nine led by "Tubby" Graves and an equally responsible Viking nine this afternoon at 4 p. m. The Huskies have also brought up tennis, handball, and horseshoe squads to compete against the highest representatives of those sports in our intramural activities. "Tubby" Graves May Catch Last year, and the year before "Tubby" has caught for the University nine, and it looks as if he will do the same this year. The way he razzes the batters, and his opponents in general is a revelation to all spectators, and he seems to get away with it, too. *.,- J Who will represent this I school against the University? I As this paper was printed be-s fore Earle Jewell had. made a I selection of the players, such I material had to be left out. j Here's our idea of what the | line-up should be: G. Bond, | catcher; Moe, pitcher; E. C. f Davis or Gaither, first base; I Chandler, 2nd base; Perry, | short stop; Church, 3rd base; I E. Jewell, left field (sub. pitch- | er); Bob Fisher, center field; I and Miller, right field. - { In tennis, Gordon Broadbent, j first man; Elden Bond, second | man; Cliff Duncan, third man. f If the U. of W. brings up a ! strong tennis team, the second j two players should not be ' played, with Earle. Jewell and I Hamilton Church taking their I places. j Van Etten and McCartin are j the logical two to participate j in horseshoe, and Owen and j Radcliff should uphold the f school's honors in handball.

Foster, Physical Education Head at the U, will in all probability, sit on the side lines and "chew the fat"* with Elwood C. Davis, Viking leader. They are good friends, and are interested in the same general type of work. Davis may, however, play first base on the Viking team. He has had plenty of practice as a first sacker, and he is a fair hitter. ' Line-Up Undecided Earle Jewell has not as yet made a final decision as to who shall play, but it will be a picked team from the three intra-mural teams. We are compartively weak in the chucking line, as none of the men pretend to know how to pitch. Moe, Jewell, Axelson, and Chandler all know how to throw some hooks on the ball, but their control is not too good, or else they haven't enough steam on the ball. As yet, nobody knows just exactly who the University will bring up. A good or a bad team may be expected. They may bring up some slicker tennis players, and they may not. It is all a question that has a good many of us guessing, and guessing plenty. Foster Experienced Foster, the coach down at Seattle, has had plenty of experience, in sports. He ran second only to Paddock, in the Pacific Conference for three years, being an Oregon man, and also played. Coast League ball with Portland. If he decides to lace up the old cleats, a Viking victory will just diminish ten points. H. M. Foster has also done three years graduate work at Columbia University in Physical Education. Due to rallies in the sixth and seventh innings, the Viking baseball squad lost last year, and they are therefore out for revenge.. Another such a victory for the Huskies would be detrimental to the morale of the" fellows. - o— EDENS HALL Edens Hall girls spending last week-end out of town included: Margaret LeMaster, Shelton; Eleanor Olson, Seattle; Charlotte Mc- Naughton, Tacoma; Leona Smith, Marys ville; Ruth Herman, Friday Harbor; Marion Dickey, Everett;* Melba DeWitt, Hazel Curry, and Ruth Braun, to Sedro-Woolley; Mabel Richardson and Edna Watkins, to Lyman; Florence Hopkins, Seattle; Lillian Spoon, Seattle; Edythe Taube, Seattle; Mina James and Lucille Bowers, Port Angeles; Gertrude Reese, Seattle; Marcelle Cormier, Olympia; Helen Bloomquist; Paulsbo; Jane Kenney, Bothel; Helen Helland and Gudrun Anderson, Everett; Ellen Chapman, Tacoma; Edna Munspn, jflEverett; Phyllis Williams, East Sound; Aillen .Wolfe,' Lynden, and Opal Marlemee, Seat • 1 " " ^ i t « — gt; « — a n — » » — m —m i n — « i — a n — - n*r Moe's Mongrels Lose Two Games To Miller's Nine Miller's hard hitting baseball nine last week slugged their way up from cellar position to first place in the Intra-Mural Baseball league, by defeating Moe's Mongrels in two contests, 7 to 3, on Thursday, and 8 to 6 on Tuesday of this week. Moe's team on both occasions was crippled by lack of players, and Miller had all of his men out. First Game Decisive At no time during the,first game was Miller's team pressed.. They gained an early lead which they seemed to be able to hold throughout the entire, contest, the game ending after' the first half of the fifth inning. Second Game Close Tuesday night's game was a good deal closer than the game just previous, with Miller's outfit being pressed all the time. At one time it looked like a sure victory for Moe when Church lined out a clean home run with two on base. The next inning saw Miller's nine again gain the lead however, and the danger was averted. The next time up at bats, Church lined out a clean three-bagger, but he 'died on the bag as Perry flied out to short Church also made some spectacular catches for the Mongrels. —. o FILLERS The big city weekly once offered a prize of $50 for the best argument in compact form that would solve the "better pay for teachers" problem. An editor of a country weekly submitted this bit of pathos: "What shape, madam, was the pocketbook you lost?" "Flat. I'm a teacher." — o—.. The Misses Ethel Boynton, Mildred Kent and Gladys Smith, spent an enjoyable week-end with friends in McCleary. o Miss Grace Moore, of the music department visited friends in Snohomish over the past week-end. With all the main matches in men's tennis now being played off at the new tennis courts, and with the "head man" again in top place on the ladder, things are beginning to liven up in the net world "on the courts above the sea". The weather is especially an encouraging factor before and after the mid-day heat. And Mr. Broad-bent has regained the throne, beating a Mr. Jewell badly, 6-2, 6-2, in fact. Scores for the week indicate a general renaissance, or to be more explicit, the good players have just found themselves (—as good players, of course). The Normal's eleven stand in the face of competition thus: Broadbent Jewell Church Bond Duncan Prendergast G. Bond Owen Thompson Ludwig Leen Out of the whole group come these scores: Gudmundson-Axelson, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5; Axelson-French, 6-2, 1-6, 6-3; Broadbent-Jewell, 6-2, 6-2; Gudmundson-Hale, 6-2, 7-5; Jackson- Ballard, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5; Bond- Duncan, 6-3, 6-4; Hale-Jackson, 6-1, 2-6, 6-3. Latest Challenges What'll happen during the coming week!? Some of the underdogs have stood enough, and seeing only about a week's time left are going to smash through the barriers of 'mere precedence' as wittingly established by their superiors during an earlier time in the game. Out of the list,' the latest .are: Jackson-Hale, Axelson-Leen, Leen- Thompson, and Church-Broadbent. A Beauty Spot on ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 August 9 - Page 4 ---------- WASHiNCHXaNff LECTURE IS GIVEN ON VALUE OF BOOKS Dr. Emanuel Sternheim Discusses Educational Value of Literature and Philosophy of John Dewey. Story Stencils Are Available Now, Says Miss Cecile Evans DISTRIBUTES BOOK LISTS Dr. Emanuel Sternheim, who is a member of the faculty of the University of Minnesota, but primarily a lecturer, spoke in two assemblies last Tuesday. He is a highly educated man, having graduated from the three best known universities of western Europe. Dr. Sternheim spoke with a delightful British or Oxford accent. His first discussion on the Educational value of Literature, showed that books are of far more value than magazines. In a list of a hundred books, published elsewhere in today's Viking and also distributed at this morning's assembly, he pointed out the value of cognate books instead of trashy literature. He said that cognate books would not tend to create that false superior type of class society that we have in Boston, the South, or in this nation as a whole. In this afternoon discussion he spoke on John Dewey's Philosophy. He centered around the point of personal responsibility, declaring that responsibility thrust upon a child before adolescence was the only real way to prepare him for maturity. Scoffs at Edison Tests In this regard he said that the recent Edison tests determining the brightest boy in America, were as foolish as the previous tests, saying that these tests did not give any check on the responsibility of the person involved. He commended any • organization that developed the creative urge in a child. A well supervised vocational guidance group in the Junior High School program is a desirable goal, says Dr. Sternheim.. • __o POSITIONS RECEIVED THROUGH BUREAU According to Miss Cecile Evans, children's librarian, and instructor of Children's Literature, there are a few available copies left of the stencil on short stories for the primary grades. These stories were composed by the students in the English 18 class last winter quarter, and are characteristic of stories for different occasions. The stencil is divided into three parts, containing stories for all holidays, from Hallowe'en to Independence day. The stories are ones which are of interest to children, and are favorites. As there are but a few copies left, it would be advisable that anyone desiring a copy go to the Children's Library as soon as possible. o MISS KEELER CONFINED BY SEVERE ILLNESS DR. STERNHEIM SUGGESTS BOOK LIST FOR TEACHERS Miss Delia L. Keeler of the Education department was confined to her home with a severe cold and fever Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday. Her classes were carried on by chairmen elected from members of the classes. s o SPEAKER DISCUSSES EUROPEAN SITUATION Mr. C. W. Clark Stresses Value of Student Interest in World Problems. Addresses Classes. Although it is rather close to the beginning of a new school year, a relatively good number of positions are being filled, according to Miss Hopper. This is due to the fact that very often there are last minute vacancies in schools. Since July 18 the following have reported to the appointment bureau as having schools. Edith Nay, Toutle, first to fourth grades, music in the upper grades and high school; Elna Virta, Robe, rural; Marie Keppler, Kettle Falls, rural; Mae Blomberg, Laurel school, primary; Maxine Ebert, Toppenish, first grade; Erma Burgen, Golden-dale, fourth grade; Grayce Lytle, Brewster, rural. There is one position which as yet has not been filled, and which might be of interest to one who can fill the requirements, which are a little unusual. Any student, having four children, who would be interested, should go to the appointment bureau for further information. : o Johnson Writes of Interesting Places Miss Florence Johnson, biology teacher and social director of the girl's dormitory, who is touring France, England, Spain and Sweden, expects to return to school about September 25. When Miss Johnson, who is a favorite with the girls, left on her tour, the girls sent a Round Robin letter to meet her in England. Since receiving the letter Miss Johnson has sent various cards to those people who asked her questions in the letter. The cards have been witty snatches of foreign life and sights. When Miss Johnson returns she will act as housemother at Edens hall, which position Miss Ullin is filling now. o EDWARDS HALL Those who were away for the week-end of August 3 and 4, were: Florence Filion, Billie Howe, I na Otey, Marvel Hall, Frances Hoare, Margaret Sandilands, Jean Truman. Billie Howe entertained a guest on Saturday and Sunday, July 27 and 28. Mr. C. W. Clark lectured in Friday's assembly on the "Current European Situation", and gave the audience some interesting pictures of present-day European life. Mr. Clark has been an instructor at Yale University and is a member of the American Academy in Rome. At present, he is serving the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, D. C. In his address, he commended the freedom of discussion in American colleges, emphasizing the value of student interest in world problems. Mr. Clark has spent many years abroad and he realizes the great benefit in a trip to Europe for young men and women. He has formed many acquaintances in Italy and other countries, of which he is very proud. Observant in Travels During his travels, he has observed many differences between the old world and the new. Fear, he stated, is a vital factor in European education. Due to the crowd- The following is the list of one hundred books that Dr. Sternheim based his discussion on in Tuesday's assembly. The list is divided into specialized groups for topic convenience. The library contains many books by t h e same author that are on the list.
