Some of the titles are very familiar, but I have read non of them. Like fictioneers, I take out a good deal of my reading on my own. That is not so self-centered as it sounds; for some time the actual hours had been lacking, with a dear bedfast mother in our home; and for still longer the ability to read much, because of slowly increasing cataracts and other eye difficulties, together with this apparently everlasting migraine. That is off the record, though. I'm delighted that you wish to include Shuttered Windows in the new book. It Means much to me. And, by the way, I am sending one present day snapshot, for I hardly recognize myself in these then-year-past pictures. ---------- 20thCCA_Means_02 ---------- This is really belongs to two of your questions, the one as to special difficulties and the later one - "anything else about your writing- " When I went down to the sea islands, the stories about little children were my goal, and I chose Mather primarily because it had a practise teaching school on its campus, with plenty of (lovable!) little children, many of them from the most utterly primitive homes. Before this I had spent some time getting acquainted with other minority groups in their own environment, and had found them pretty easy to make friends with. Here, I was warned, the problem would be different; I must not expect to find the teen-age girls friendly, nor at all open to friendly advances from the resented white. Gullahs, mostly, proud and even dour. So, I was careful to make it clear that I had no intentions of using them in writing. At first I tried my best not to act like a writer at all, but that didn't work, for I kept being asked to speak in classes and chapel and son on. Soon I gave up concealing my guilt, but made it known that I was writing about small children - my only intent. The girls warmed up steadily; hurry as much as I could, I'd find my room done, when I came up from breakfast, and a neatly lettered and decorated card on the pillows, saying, "Good morning, Mrs. Means!" and perhaps a vase of flowers or a boutonniere of opoponax on the dresser; and at night the bed would be turned down, with the card turned about and saying, "Good night, Mrs. Means!" ---------- 20thCCA_Means_03 ---------- They took me on hikes through the wonderful dusky woods; they had a party for me. And when the last day of my visit came, there were three or four who tried all day to get a visit with me. Always there seemed to be a teacher there ahead of them, and I'd look up only to see a disappointed face bob back out of sight. Time for the evening bell came, and still they had failed, so I asked the principal if they might come anyway. She consented, and they poured in, with as many more as the room would hold, in nighties, robes, slippers - and usually with firmly tied heads, so the damp breezes should not "take out the straight." Till near midnight they talked. They told about their hopes and fears and immediate plans. And at last there was a flash of eyes between two of the leaders, Susan and Jessie Ree; and as if by pre- arrangement, Jessie Ree (volatile, brilliant, poetic), burst out, "Mis' Means, we wish you'd write a book about us! Just as if we were white girls! ---And leave the problem out." There was gooseflesh all over me and dew in my eyes. Then Susan, a leader, tall and straight and independent, who became the beginning of my Harriet, said something that made the dew thicken: "Oh, Jessie Ree! Nobody could write about us and leave the problem out." Well, you see? I had to write that book, though I had not meant to at all. ---------- 20thCCA_Means_04 ---------- The then editor in the Children's Department of Houghton was distressed but pretty determined. Such a book, with neither the comic nor the tragic stressed, would have a painfully limited sale. At the time I was corresponding with Wilma McFarland, the vividly interesting editor (then) of Portal, Methodist publication for girls. I think I had just cut Tangled Waters for a serial for her. I added a postscript to a letter, telling her of my publisher' unwillingness to have me do this book and asking her whether she would like a serial of that sort. A joyful assent came back by air, with the assurance that it would have book publication even if Houghton didn't want it. Houghton soon did, I'm glad to say. They have always been remarkably liberal in their attitudes. Ira Rich Kent, who long had charge of my own work, had been editor of Youth's Companion, to which I had sold some of my first stories and poems. That was the reason I sent him my first book, Candle In The Midst, and I always thanked my lucky stars, for he was the kind of publisher that embodied all the best, kindest, most delightful. It was a deep personal blow to receive word of his death just tow years ago. My whole family felt it. As Shuttered Windows, there was an initial difficulty which I neglected to mention: my own superficial personal acquaintance with the glamorously beautiful region. Previously I had tried always to use the thoroughly familiar ground...Then it occurred to me that the difficulty could be obviated by having my viewpoint character (Harriet) ---------- 20thCCA_Means_05 ---------- an outlander herself, seeing as unfamiliar a scene as I did, and with as limited a knowledge of it. I really did think that was a little bit smart of me. Miss Walters, then the principal of Mather, was interested in the evolving book, and through her I instituted a prize contest for letters which should tell of customs, sayings, superstitions, and elements which the girls would like to see embodied in "their book." That brought me a great deal of material. And when the book had had its second writing, I sent it to Miss Walters, and she read it aloud to her senior English class, for careful scrutiny. The teachers also scanned it with care for inaccuracies. Yes, the girls seemed to like it, when it was done...I have kept in touch with a number of them, through the years Another thing I forgot, in the questionnaire, was a particularly silly set of nicknames which we used: my husband was Pebblers, I was Spuggins, Eleanor was Larky, and Pixy, her little terrier, was Gann. Don't ask me why. Other home nicknames for me - well, one has always been Gypsy; and another my late beloved father's, My Son Tommy. I'm mostly Mom to my daughter; and the four adorable grandchildren (from three to nine) named me Nanny when I called myself Granny to them. My husband is Boppa.----That Gypsy really is confidential, since it is my husband's own name for me, and I give it only to add a touch to the picture....All my newer Please don't use it. ---------- 20thCCA_Means_06 ---------- friends, when they begin to use my first name, first disdain the Flossy they hear older friends use - "How absurd, for you!" - but almost everyone comes to it. Life has been so interesting - so exciting in a quiet way - that I could go on indefinitely when someone really asks for it! Work with the Indians has been a delight, and has led to many adventures and to a Hopi Sun- Clan name and a Hopi namesake, now beginning her nurse's training at Granado, Arizona. As I suggested in the dedication of Assorted Sisters, the latest, I have an Assorted Family. Have just been dressing a doll for Christmas, for Flossy Lee, my Chinese granddaughter in Shanghai; Have three more "grand children" there, and a daughter; and a Spanish-American family to whom I am always Nanny (Jody doesn't think our blood-kin grandchildren really belong to me as he does); two Japanese who call me Aunt Flo, two Burmese girls who call me Aunt Flossy; and so on. I like it. ---------- 20thCCA_Means_07 ---------- And my best wishes to you in this fascinating project. Sincerely yours, Florence Crannell Means ---------- 20thCCA_Means_08 ---------- Florence Crannell Means 595 Baseline Road Boulder, Colorado January 12, 1948 Elizabeth Rider Montgomery 3209 Alki Avenue Seattle 6, Washington Dear Miss (or is it Mrs.?) Montgomery, (oh, excuse my blindness! It is Mrs. I see) It has been a pleasure to read the chapter you have written about Shuttered Windows. I like it, and am grateful to have so fine a piece of publicity for the book. There was a practically nothing that seemed to need change. One little point, which I have noted on the script, is that it was a particular group of Negroes that i was warned about: these Gullahs on the islands off the coast and in the Carolina Lowlands. The other, even more trivial, point, is that I don't recognize myself when I wear an "ie," for it has always been "Flossy" in our family. Before I send it back to you I'll ask my husband to read it over, too, and note anything that he may not like; but I don't see how there can be anything! I am delighted with the list of other books you have chosen, also, and proud to be included in that goodly company. We shall be watching for your book. Don't you think there are a terrific number of Us Writers that are bedeviled with migraine? I was much interested in your experience with it, for it is the second time these eye exercises have been commended to me on that score. I know a little about them, and we have one book on the subject, but I have been deterred by the urgency of my debt to physicians and high though my regard for them, I think they are remarkably slow in letting down their barriers against the new. Don't you? About six years ago I had my eyes examined for "aniseikonia" rather newly discovered eye defect, and was found to have a marked degree of the defect, and given glasses which for a long time out my migraine attacks to four or five a year (of the prostrating ones, that is) from the two a week which I had been having, - meaning intervals only when bought by shots of gynergen. But a year of caring for my dear bedridden mother, after several years when she was partially bedridden, and months when she was my beloved helpless baby, and then her death last March, - these have brought the migraine back, and more nearly incessant than ever. The doctor thinks it is the prolonged overdraft of energy and emotion, together with slowly increasing cataracts. And have you noticed the opinions of medical men recently, after ---------- 20thCCA_Means_09 ---------- much study? That all these other things - allergies, eyes, overwork - may be the trigger to set off the attack; but that the cause is an inherited over-sensitivity of the brain? I suppose we are almost all too high-keyed. But if I had to give up this prismatic world of mine, in exchange for entire freedom from the unutterable distress of migraine - well, would I? But I shall get the Aldous Huxley (one of my friends had it laid out for me not long ago, I recall) and rend it thoughtfully, in the light of your experience. If you have time, do tell me whether - No, you needn't, for I am pretty sure you must have taken the treatment under a specialist. It has been fun to meet you, and i shall hope to hear from you again some day. And come and see us when you are in Colorado Cordially yours, Florence Means P.S. My husband read the chapter and came in with the peculiarly blank look of a man who has had a thing explained twice while he was away exploring the possibilities of the income tax. "What is this, dear?" Both giggling and scolding, I explain. "Well, it's fine!" he says heartily. "It's really fine!" And if you knew how discriminating he is, you'd really like that. ---------- 20thCCA_Means_10 ---------- Palmer Lake, Colorado July 20, 1948 Thank you so much for the carbon of your definitive chapter on S.W. - I like it very much indeed. You may be interested to know that S.W. has just outrun all my other fourteen Houghton books on sales - and isn't that gratifying for its theme?-------- Thank you too for the information about the eyes.-- We are here at our beloved mountain shack, but only briefly: all gay paint, bright calico, log fires, spruce trees. Come see us.-----And please give my regards to your Janet and tell her how glad I am that she likes my books.----Would not let a post card do if deadlines were not just now pressing. You know! Sincerely, Florence Crannell Means ---------- 20thCCA_Means_11 ---------- Mrs. Elizabeth R. Montgomery 3209 Alki Avenue Seattle 6 Washington ---------- 20thCCA_Means_12 ---------- Boulder January 9, 1950 Dear Mrs. Montgomery, Your new book is perfectly delightful! As you know, my reading is strictly LTD., so I've so far only tasted The Story Behind Modern Books, reading maybe a dozen of the chapters. But I shall read them all! That's the kind of book it is. When my latest sales report came, some three weeks ago, Carl and I noticed a considerable increase in the good, steady sale of Shuttered Windows. "Wha's'is?" says Carl. Flossy cogitated. Briefly, "What but E.R.M?" sez she. It really does seem as if it must be your book, plus ---------- 20thCCA_Means_13 ---------- the use of the S.W. chapter in American Girl, plus the reprint in a widely distributed pamphlet (The Jewish Committee's). So here's another thank you. Know what I mean to do? Make a list, from yours (I've a suspicion it will be make a list of yours.), of books which our dear grandchildren should have, and then have their mother, our Eleanor, check which they already possess, for the five (Jeremy, to be sure, only seven months old) have a library of several hundred. When we visit them, there is never time to make a list for references, as I've proposed doing. And did I tell you that Eleanor - Eleanor Hull - has had her first book published and is working on the next? Tumbleweed Boy, first one; The Third Wish probably the next title. Again, congratulations! Sincerely, Florence Means ---------- 20thCCA_Means_14 ---------- Shuttered Windows Published by: Houghton Mifflin Co. Real Name: Florence Crannell Means Pen name: Florence Crannell Means What do your family and friends call you?: Flossy! and Fludel A. YOUR BACKGROUND Date of birth: May 15, 1891 Place of birth: Baldwinsville, N.Y Father's occupation: Minister Number of brothers: 0 and sisters: 1 Father's nationality: American Mother's nationality: American Kind of home during childhood (farm, small town, city apt, etc.): Small town, larger towns Corning, New York - Crystal City and Topeka, Kansas. Amount of schooling (high school, college, etc.): high school, college work by extension courses, summer courses Tutoring by father - then president Theological seminary Two years in art school. Economic status during childhood (poor, middle class, wealthy): middle Special interests as a child (sports, books, games, etc.): Books, dolls, drawing Childhood ambitions: Definitely to be (1) a writer, (2) an artist, (3) a missionary (4) a kindergarten teacher. When did you begin to write?: As soon as I could print Why?: Goodness knows. An irresistible force. Who encouraged you?: Father - Mother - and one artist aunt What and when was your first success or recognition?: Sold a love story to Will Carleton's magazine "Every Where," when I was fifteen. How did you happen to write for children? First because I had a child, and told her stories; second (I think) because my grandparent's pioneering demanded writing and seemed well suited to a children's book - Candle in the Mist. Went on from there. Anything else about your background which has a bearing on your writing. The general bookroominess of our family, and Father's fondness for reading aloud to us: Shakespeare, Browning, Tennyson - anything. Father's own writing - many articles, many poems, much exegesis, several books of essays and sermons. Also the gathering of people of every race, color, kind, creed, at the parsonage. Also, I think, the fact that the eldest of my father's sisters, Euretta Crannell, conducted first normal courses in Albany schools, died in harness, and was honored by "Crannell Free Kindergarten." ---------- 20thCCA_Means_15 ---------- B. THE WRITING OF THE BOOK Where did you get the idea for the book?: On the spot. Visiting the sea off the coast of South Carolina, to write two little paper-covered books of stories about little children in the Deep South. When? (Season as well as year): Autumn, 1935. (good thing I keep a diary) Were the characters real people, or based on real people?: Based on real people. Great-Grandmother's original was a majestic old woman whom I met on the amazing little island Hilton's Head, when one of the teacher's from Mather School and I were entertained at her "grand's" home. Others were pupils at Mather. Where were you living at the time?: Denver in winter, Palmer Lake in summer What was your major occupation?: Homemaking and writing. Names (also nicknames) and identities of members of your household at the time. (if children, give ages.): My father and mother, who had retired and built on an apartment so that we were under one roof but had separate homes; my husband, Carl (too many nicknames for him), and our daughter, Eleanor, through college and a graduate course in dine arts, writing a little herself (much more since), and serving as Counselor for a Camp Fire group in one of our schools in the underprivileged district, so that our house was a happy rendezvous for Spanish- American, Japanese and plain white girls. Did you talk the book over with any of them?: Plenty, always; this time my husband a bit discouraging, only because fearing repercussions for me. Did you discuss it with an editor?: Yes; Houghton thought it a very bad bet from a monetary standpoint. Wilma McFarland, editor of PORTAL, was enthusiastic. Where and how did you get the material? (library research, travel, personal experience, etc.): All three ways - four, counting the etcetera. Got everything I could find at the library. Had first been impelled to write something when we made our first motor trip to the Deep South, about 1934 made another trip and settled down on the campus at Mather, boarding school for girls. and another trip in 1936 When did you begin to write the book?: July 5, 1937 Where?: Palmer Lake, at our mountain cabin: in my spruce tree study, a circle of spruces on the hillside behind the cabin. How much had you had published when you began it? (Give names of books) Rafael and Consuelo (junior age, pub by Friendship Press), Children of the Great Spirit, ditto, Candle in the Mist, Ranch and Ring, Bowlful of Stars, Dusky Day, Singing Wood, Tangled Waters, Penny for Luck. What was your purpose in writing this book?: Purpose: to give happiness to the girls at Mather, who had asked me to write such a book and introduce white girls to Negro girls. How do you write? (typewriter, long-hand, dictate): Typewriter - hunt and peck. Where? (study, office, etc.): Study, in winter home, spruce tree study in summer. Do you keep regular office hours?: Yes. If so, what are they?: 9 to 12 then 9:30 to 12 now. Do you revise much?: Yes. Write easily or laboriously?: Easily, first writing joyfully rapid. Do you let your family or friends read your work, or try it out on children?: My family always read or hear my books first; then my writer friends (we have a colony of them in Denver); and when the setting is at all strange to me, I have the script carefully read by one or more people who are on the ground. ---------- 20thCCA_Means_16 ---------- Who makes your final copies? (yourself, private secretary, public typist, etc.): With few exceptions, I myself. Love to do it. Did you make an outline before writing the book?: Yes. Did you decide on the title first or last?: First if possible, last if necessary. How long did it take you to write the book?: First writing, first revision, about three months. Final revision another two. This title about midway of the writing- the shuttered windows of rural schools seemed to say so much: they let in bitter cold and rain in season; closed, they shut out the light. Did you work on it steadily?: Between second and final revision, a long interval, for reading in a Mather English class and by family and friends. Did it go fairly smoothly or did you hit rough spots? (Details of any particular difficulty and its solution would be appreciated.): No particular difficulty. At first I had a "mystery" angle, besides the mystery of Black Moses, which delighted me: family silver hidden in one of the high old tombs which I saw in the woods, during War-Between-States. As I went on, I became convinced that the story would be stronger without it. Cut it. Was your book accepted immediately by a publisher?: Yes; in spite of having tried to dissuade me from writing it. Houghton accepted it before completed. Was it immediately popular on publication?: I think it was. Anything else about your writing that might be of interest, especially anything that concerns this book.: See appended pages C. ILLUSTRATIONS How much did you have to do with the illustrations of your book?: Not a great deal. If it were Tangled Waters or Great Day, I'd have good stories for you. I had hoped a portrait - Reinold, I believe - who did magnificent pictures of the Island Negroes, could be secured. However, I like Armstrong Sperry's drawings, and they have seemed generally, though not invariably, acceptable to the Negro reader. How much experience had you had in illustrating?: you probably don't care about an answer to this; but I had great dreams of illustrating my own. Did illustrated early shorts; but soon found my technique (to be as kind to myself as possible) not at all equal to the demands of present-day publishers. However, I find me hard to satisfy; something like an automobile passenger who is able to drive and so is watchful and critical of the driver. ---------- 20thCCA_Means_17 ---------- D. WHAT SORT OF PERSON YOU ARE What did you look like when you wrote this book? Dark or fair?: Very "dark gittin' light! Burnet, graying Tall or short?: Tall Thin or plump?: Medium Color of eyes?: Dark brown Wore glasses?: yes, since seven years old Color of hair?: Black, graying (then) Kind of hair--long or short?: Short, then, no, half and half. Curly or straight?: Curly how did you wear it?: One side long, in braid across head. Any special features of you appearance (square jaw, dimples, stoop, etc.) Dear, dear: a nose that caused me as much suffering as Amy March's Are you quiet or talkative?: Talkative. Friendly or reserved?: Friendly/ My seven-year-old grandson sat on the edge of my bed last summer (migraine putting me down a great deal) and crooned fondly, "Nanny is always laughing." Are you quick-tempered or calm and placid?: Well, Sometimes I'm afraid it's plenty quick, but it stays inside - as "migraine people's" are likely to, I think What sort of clothes do you wear most when writing?: (sports, suits, slacks, etc.) House coats or slacks. Favorite occupations and hobbies?: WRITING; painting, motoring, getting acquainted with all kinds of people, just plain walking. What is your normal speech like?: (Meticulously correct, colloquial, slangy, abrupt, rambling, etc.) Pretty correct, but with plenty of contractions My daughter discourages my slang, which she says I use with enthusiasm but also with inaccuracy. If strongly religious, give denomination.: Baptist. Also a member of the Wider Quaker Fellowship, and head of the fellowship of the little Friends' Community Church at Palmer Lake. Any other details about yourself, no matter how trivial, which might help me to picture you in my own mind.: Darndarndarn! My most frequent right now, is our new home with its gorgeous mountain setting and our exuberant chant "Oooh, what a beautiful morning! Oh, what a beautiful day!" Can you direct me to any articles or books which have been written about you?: Siri Andrews wrote an article which was published by HORN BOOK early in 1946, and reprinted by Houghton for distribution on request. Junior Book of Authors may have some other angles; I forget. Who's Who has notes of course.

Montgomery Seattle, Washington My dear Miss Montgomery: I am sorry to have been so long in answering you. I did get your questionnaire, but found it a little formidable. Indeed I did not know how to answer a good deal of it. However, I can probably answer the questions in your letter - at least about Mr. Popper's Penguin's. My husband has been hopelessly paralyzed for the last fourteen years - but the facts about his career before then you could probably dig out of some old Who's Who. When he was quite young he taught Greek at the University of Chicago (I was one of his students there, as a matter of fact) but he gave up the academic life for journalism. For a number of years he wrote a humorous column for the old Chicago Evening Post over the signature Riq. He used also to write articles for magazines. As for the genesis of the penguin book, it grew out of our seeing the Byrd movies of Antarctica expedition. We were so enchanted with the movies of the penguins that like Mr. Popper. We sat through the movie twice. My husband began the book shortly after - probably with our own two daughters in mind for the audience. He abandoned the manuscript, however, and I dug it out of his desk a couple of ---------- 20thCCA_Atwater_02 ---------- years after his stroke, and decided to finish it. (I had previously done a few short pieces for magazines myself). The original manuscript was much more of a fantasy than the final form: it was all a sort of dream. I rewrote the first few chapters and supplied a practical domestic background. The humorous chapters, such as the one where the repairman is called to bore holes in the icebox for the penguins, I left untouched. The last few chapters I had to supply entirely. Does this answer your questions? It is kind of you to be interested, and I am sorry to have been to slow in answering. Sincerely yours, Florence Atwater (Mrs. Richard Atwater)

Show more20th Century Children's Authors - Thurber ---------- 20th Century Children's Authors - James Thurber - Many Moons ---------- ---------- 20thCCA_Thurber_01 ---------- November 17, 1947 Dear Miss Montgomery "Many Moons" was the first thing I took up after a series of five eye operations which lasted from October, 1940 to April, 1941. I had one of the worse cataracts in history and also one of the most mysterious eyes. i was shot by an arrow when I was six in Falls Church, Virginia, and the sight of my right eye was given up as los also. Doctors regard it as a miracle that I did not go stone blind when I was six. Of the 30,000 recorded cases in medical history only three of us did not go stone blind. One great doctor said that I saw until the cataract set in in 1940, although I did not have any apparatus of vision. He said I could call it E.S.P. or God. Another man said it was like playing a piano with both hands cut off at the wrist. The terrible strains of the operations resulted in a severe nervous breakdown which struck me one Sunday night in june, 1941, after I had written the first 300 words of "Many Moons". I began to shake all over but I continued to write. I managed to finish the story that night, which is something of a miracle for me who has often taken eight weeks to write 4,000 words. I used to write on the typewriter and I often did stories over from beginning to end from five to ten times. I had to take up a new system of writing with the loss of 8/10ths of my vision, and starting with "Many Moons" I used a soft black pencil and yellow paper, since black on yellow is the most visible of all color combinations. This is why it is used on all American highways for traffic signs. Since I could not see what I was writing, I used to run my thumb down the page to keep track of where I was, but I often wrote over lines. Now through practice and strong glasses I write over only when I get tired. I write on both sides of the paper and get only 20 words on a side. I use 200 sharpened pencils. ---------- 20thCCA_Thurber_02 ---------- The original draft of "Many Moons" was accidentally left on the kitchen table in the summer house of a friend of mine on Martha's Vineyard, and I did not get it until the following spring. The breakdown had made it impossible for me to write during that summer and winter anyway. When I had the story copied it ended without the three attempts to conceal the moon. E.B. White, whose criticism has always meant a great deal to me, in both writing and drawing, suggested that the story seemed incomplete the way i had it. The little Princess just went to sleep with the golden moon, and without any problems. I thought up the solution myself, but I gratefully acknowledge the nudge from Mr. White. The story was condensed in Reader's Digest without my consent, since the publisher had all reprint rights at that time. I retain them myself now. It was also done on Radio Reader's Digest. I regard The Great Quillow", my second fairy tale, as being better than "Many Moons" and it was seven times as hard to write. My final expression in this field, "The White Deer", took me a year and is better than the other two. It was brought out as an adult book. I have no doubt whatever that because of my nervous condition i entered the world of fairy tales partly as an escape. It helped a lot. I am nearly 6'2", and I weigh only 155 lbs. I have a thick thatch of hair that is now nearly white My complexion has been described as "a cranberry in candlelight". i am extremely nervous as a result of not only five eye operations, but of two pneumonias and a ruptured appendix, all within sixteen months. I was given up for lost because of peritonitis, but I had to finish "The White Deer" so I did not have time to die. For further information about my personality write to Mr. White or Joel Sayre at The New Yorker, or Miss Ann Honeycutt, an old voice teacher of mine, 22 East 66th Street, New York City. I sing only late at night. Sincerely yours, James Thurber ---------- 20thCCA_Thurber_03 ---------- West Cornwall, Conn. January 14, 1948 Dear Mrs. Montgomery: The objections to your piece consist mainly of loud and indignant protest from both my wife and daughter who feel that the dialogue, since it was made up, definitely gives the idea of being unreal. In other words, you have romanticized the situation, since my daughter was not present at the time and Mrs. Thurber resents dialogue which is so unlike her, and also feels that the use of "Jamie," etc., has the effect of presenting her a little soft and silly. Of course the dialogue method helps you to pad out the story, but it seems to all of us that it would be improved by casting it into straight third-person prose. This would eliminate the feeling of artificiality that the dialogue is bound to give. Maybe i could send you some further material but I don't know what it would be. I have always felt that straight journalistic accounts are better than fancied situations. Maybe you can see your way to rearranging the material. Sincerely yours, James Thurber ---------- 20thCCA_Thurber_04 ---------- West Cornwall, Conn. March 13, 1948 Dear Mrs. Montgomery: Your new version is all right with me and, as I said, the original one was opposed by my wife and daughter who do not object to dialogue but felt that your version of how they talk did not do them justice. The question of children liking dialogue better than solid prose has interested me for years. You are quite right that they like dialogue better but the trouble is that many children grow to be eighteen or twenty before they can throw off their awful addiction to conversation. Most girls in their teens prefer some- thing like "Centennial Summer" to "My Antonia" simply because there is more talk in the cheaper novel. When they do get around to solid prose they find it better and just as interesting. I do not believe they should be catered to or surrendered to by adult writers and teachers. Indulgence should be tempered with discipline. Mrs. Thurber and I were living in a house of our own that summer on the Vineyard and had left the manuscript at the house of some friends who live nearby, but this is a minor point. My father was once with the Underwood Typewriter Company and I began typing when I was eight. I never learned the touch system but for nearly forty years I wrote extremely fast. You have to if your are a newspaper reporter, as i was. Not many reporters used the touch system but they all wrote swiftly. My father was some- thing of a speed demon but he was not a touch man either. After six months a typist should be able to type with his eyes closed by memory of the keyboard, and most of us operate that way. The only hunt and peck people I ever knew were girls in their teens and young wives who got typewriters for Christmas. Those who still hunt and peck after six months or a year should give up and go in for basket weaving. I could still type but I would not be able to see the type, and a pencil gives you contact with your words. A great many writers use pencil and paper and then type it out later. I'm sorry you have been put to so much trouble. All my best wishes for the success of your book. Sincerely yours, James Thurber James Thurber JH Mrs. Elizabeth R.

Milne - The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh ---------- ---------- 20thCCA_Milne_01 ---------- Dear Miss Montgomery, The chronology of the autobiography is, of course, more accurate than that of any magazine story you may have read, and the ottoman incident happened after the publication of Pooh. The truth (if this even interests anybody) of the genesis of the stories is as follows: Owing I suppose to the success of When We Were Very Young, I was asked by an editor for a children's story. I wasn't keen to write one, but my wife suggested that I could use one of the stories I had told our child at bed-time. She had never heard these, or she wouldn't have suggested it. A bed time story for a child is merely an excuse for postponing sleep and these were just a progression from one conventional dragon or what-not to another, with intermittent warnings that the next one would have to ---------- 20thCCA_Milne_02 ---------- be the last. However, I did remember that among these flounders and absurd postponements of the final "Good-nights" Pooh and a balloon had once made a fairly rational appearance. So I turned this into the asked for story...and, when more were sought for other editions, kept Pooh, introduced the remaining animals, abandoned balloons, and became strictly realistic. Yours sincerely, A.A. Milne

I have made two or three very minor corrections, "Biwabik, Minn." rather than Iowa. I must have slipped on the debate thing - I coached debate for four years in high school and college but not in this school Thanks very much for thinking of me and the best of luck for your book. It sounds like an excellent idea, especially for schools and libraries. Sincerely, Phil Stong There might be an amusing line in the fact that I started this story about a place where it often gets to be 40 below sitting in front of two open port- holes with the electric fan going. When we reached New York there was a foot or so of snow on the ground. ---------- 20thCCA_strong_02 ---------- Honk the Moose Published by: Dodd, Mead and Co. Year: 1935 Real name: Philip Duffield Stong Pen name: Phil Stong What do your family and friends call you?: Phil, to my face. A. YOUR BACKGROUND Date of birth: Jan. 27, 1899 Place of birth: Keosauqua, Iowa Father's occupation: Merchant Number of brothers: 2 and sisters: Father's nationality: American Mother's nationality: Same - both families Came to the country before 1750 Kind of home during childhood (farm, small town, city apt, etc.): Farm and small town Where: Keosauqua, Iowa. Amount of schooling (high school, college, etc.): A.B. (Litt. D., LL.D.) Economic status during childhood (poor, middle class, wealthy): M.C. Special interests as a child (sports, books, games, etc.): Reading, music, varied athletics - football, wrestling, boxing, swimming. Childhood ambitions: Writing. (Lapses to radio, medicine, law, etc.) When did you begin to write?: As soon as I had enough penmanship. Why?: Born liar - writing was the only way to get away with it. Who encouraged you?: Various people - principally my English Professor in College, Lewis Worthington Smith of Drake University. What and when was your first success or recognition?: State Fair - 1932 How did you happen to write for children?: The editors at Doubleday and Co., thought that a farm juvenile was indicated by State Fair. "Farm Boy" was Junior Guild. Since then I've done about a dozen. Anything else about your background which has a bearing on your writing.: Iowa was somewhat self-conscious in my childhood. Garland and Hough and Hughes had had almost our first national recognition. My uncle, E. R. Harlan, for many years Curator of the Iowa State Historical Museum, knew all three. A distant relative, Mrs. Julia Baldwin, of Keosauqua had had a best-seller. My mother, also, thought that an author was a shade higher than a President. No was out of the trap even if I had wanted out. ---------- 20thCCA_strong_03 ---------- B. THE WRITING OF THE BOOK Where did you get the idea for the book?: In 1920 in a hotel in Ely, Minn., where I had gone to play football with the Biwabik town team. Before lunch some chap told me a fascinating story about a town moose, which lingered with me for fifteen years. When? (Season as well as year): About November. It was cold enough, I know, to run even a moose into the stable. (Ely son, 23-13, or something like that). Were the characters real people, or based on real people?: Characteristics derived from various people, of course. I was teaching in Biwabik and it was easy to make alloys. Where were you living at the time?: Iron Range of Minnesota when I heard the story - boat in the Caribbean and apartment in NYC when I wrote it. What was your major occupation?: Writing. Previously I had been on the old New York World and many other publications as writer and editor. Names (also nicknames) and identities of members of your household at at the time. (if children, give ages.): No children - wife frequently referred to as V-A. Name is Virginia. Did you talk the book over with any of them?: Told planned story to wife and editor at Dodd and had some helpful suggestions. Did you discuss it with an editor?: Covered above. Where and how did you get the material? (library research, travel, personal experience, etc.): Covered above. When did you begin to write the book?: On a little holiday in the Caribbean that year. Where?: Covered above. The thing took about three weeks and I did a major part during a rough winter trip on the way back to NY. when our friends were ill. How much had you had published when you began it? (Give names of books) "State Fair", "Farm Boy", "Stranger's Return", "Village Tale", "Week End", "Career". Worked on the movies of the novels. What was your purpose in writing this book?: Amuse some of the younger citizens and keep myself in business. How do you write? (typewriter, long-hand, dictate): Type. Where? (study, office, etc.): Study. Do you keep regular office hours? If so, what are they? No. Work most days, at least a little. Because of A.M. nwsp, background work most late at night. Do you revise much?: Very little Write easily or laboriously?: Which day? Sometimes it runs easily; sometimes not. I've done 3900 in a day and 500 in a week. Do you let your family or friends read your work, or try it out on children?: My wife. She's a parsimonious but careful novelist ("The Dollar Gold-Piece", "The Hollow Skin", etc.) and also a first-rate English and Latin scolar. (Taught Latin in a West Point coaching school). In general I would consider it a poor idea, but with her special training she is very helpful. ---------- 20thCCA_strong_04 ---------- Who makes your final copies? (yourself, private secretary, public typist, etc.): My agent's typing bureau Did you make an outline before writing the book?: No. Why would one on a simple tale? On some novels I schedule general movements on a leaf of note paper. Did you decide on the title first or last?: After the story was planned but before writing How long did it take you to write the book?: 3-4 weeks Did you work on it steadily?: Interrupted between the tour and resettlement in America. Ordinarily I would have worked steadily. Stories nag at one. Did it go fairly smoothly or did you hit rough spots? (Details of any particular difficulty and its solution would be appreciated.) In as short a story as this one is not likely to hit difficulties. In the adult novels I have often had trouble because the characters would not act the for the best in- terests of the plot. Once they establish themselves they may or may not try to fit in to the narrative structure. This calls for arbitration, of course. Was your book accepted immediately by a publisher?: "State Fair" accepted third time out. Since then, all books contracted in advance. Was it immediately popular on publication?: Very good advance. Anything else about your writing that might be of interest, especially anything that concerns this book.: As you can see, though this was only my second juvenile, I had a fairly good background of general writing - a few novels, a good deal of periodical material, long experience with newspapers, magazines, syndicates - even advertising and movies. This predicates a certain fluency - given a good story, such as the one I heard up on the Iron Range, one is fairly certain to get a mildly successful book. C. ILLUSTRATIONS How much did you have to do with the illustrations of your book?: Kurt Wiese, the illustrator, and I are collaborators, rather than author and artist. I "X'ed" passages in this that seemed good picture stuff. I've never done so since - Kurt and i understand each other completely. Kurt needs no X-ing. Kurt is completely confident that he will get situations for his styles and I am blissfully certain that he will find them without any bother from me. ---------- 20thCCA_strong_05 ---------- D. WHAT SORT OF PERSON YOU ARE What did you look like when you wrote this book? Dark or Fair?: Toward fair Tall or short?: 6'1" That was tall. Thin or plump?: 182-5 - medium Color of eyes?: Hazel to gray Wore glasses?: Not then, by ten years. Color of hair?: Mouse brown Kind of hair--- long or short?: Ordinary Curly or straight?: Two waves How did you wear it?: Left side part. Any special features of your appearance (square jaw, dimples, stoop, etc.): Nose not quite pug; not quite roundish face, full at chin. Are you quiet or talkative?: Yes and no Friendly or reserved?: F. when possible Do you laugh a great deal or are you usually grave?: Amused, ordinarily. Are you quick-tempered or calm and placid?: Medium. What sort of clothes do you wear most when writing?: (sports, suits slacks, etc.) Pajamas, slacks. Writing is hard work. Favorite occupations and hobbies?: Writing, reading, music, small dogs - not to small - phonograph (about 2500 records) - microscope, almost anything. What is your normal speech like?: (Meticulously correct, colloquial, slangy, abrupt, rambling, etc.) Midwest - correctly colloquial, if possible. What are some of your pet expressions and exclamations?: Do you want the Postal Department to intercept this? I had a rugged youth. But I don't go in much for exclamations except in great stress. If strongly religious, give denomination.: Agnostic. Any other details about yourself, no matter how trivial, which might help me to picture you in my own mind. Disorderly gent - unutterably lazy and impolite about everything that doesn't interest me - not directly impolite but engaged elsewhere - so sorry. Pathologically curious about things in abstract but only occasionally in person; i.e.; I know a bit about hieroglyph- ics but today, after three days, I learned that a neighbor had gone crazy. Selfish, per se, but not about people and things that engage me. Can you direct me to any articles or books which have been written about you?: Chiefly small periodical bits, or brief references. Homer Croy mentions me in "Corn Country". There have been a few things but they're of no particular importance. If you have a photograph or snapshot of yourself of about the vintage of your book, I would appreciate it. Of course i would return it Promptly. I don't have a thing. Georges Schreiber did a caricature of me about then but I don't have a copy of it. Perhaps one of the local newspaper morgues. Phil Stong

During the skit, a tape player repeated the chant: "People needpaper. People buy virgin paper. Forests are clear cut. Recycling is too inconvenient. Paper fills up ourlandfills." The skit went on to illustrate a solution through the buying of recycled paper. Aloha, MortimerScott Tompkins staff reporter Western President Kenneth Mortimer has accepted appointment aspresident of the University of Hawaii. According to a press release, Mortimer made the followingstatement Nov. 25. "I have informed Western Washington University Board of Trustees that I haveaccepted appointment as president of the University of Hawaii system and chancellor of the University ofHawaii at Manoa, effective not later than April 1,1993." Mortimer became Western's eleventh president in 1988, succeeding G. Robert Ross, who, together with two vice presidents and the pilot, was killed in a light plane crash in Whatcom County on Nov. 4,1987. In the release, Mortimer said the University ofHawaii presidency represents a professional challenge he could not overlook. "Lome and I came toWestern because it was Hawaii bound, continued on page 3 Loan qualification status changes with new financial aid forms By Loretta Richardson staff reporter Ted Hasse, interim assistant director ofWestern's financial resources department, said many changes have been made in the 1993-94academic year's financial- aid rules and some will directly affect students.Manystudentswhohavebeen considered independent before will not be next year. If a student is not 24,has no dependents, is nota veteran of active (notreserve) military duty, and/oris unmarried â€”the student will most likely be considered dependent If a student feels there are unusual circumstances, a petitionprocess is available. There is no guarantee the student's status will be changed, though."Anotherexample (of change) would be that people who were previously ineligible, or maybe not aseligible, especially people wholistedparentinformation, will now be eligible or become more eligible,"Hasse said. Some changes are positive. The new financial-aid application is shorter, needs lessinformation from the students and will be free. Students are also required to use a dark ink pen whenfilling out the form instead of a No. 2 pencil. "I anticipate that it should be a simpler process for studentsand parents," Hasse said. The new regulations do not change the process as much as they define more precisely the requirements for those applying. Many of these changes will not be seen by students andare a matter of how the financial-aid offices at schools process students' information. One changethat will affect students is the independent/dependent status rules. Hasse explained the regulationsfor this are "tighter" and fewer students will fall into the independent category. Kathy Sahlhoff, Western's financial resources interim director, explained that everyone currently on financial aid affected bythis change will be contacted by mail as soon as possible. The letter will explain the changes and howthey affect the individual student. "Congress has not authorized and appropriated any additional funds for work study or forgrants," Hasse explained. "What they have done is open up more loan program funds." A new, unsubsidized loan that students can take out (even if considered dependent) will help thosewhose parents aren'table or willing to acquire an academic loan for them. The government doesn'tsubsidize the interest for this type of loan, but it could make a big difference for some students who previously could hot meet their financial needs.

With the new system, students will be able to call in and register as often as they want from home, and add or drop classes immediately. "We want to make it (the touchtone registration program) open and accessible as possible," said Joe St. Hilaire, Western's registrar. St. Hilaire said the main advantages are the program's efficiency and students won't have to miss classesbecause of registration appointment conflicts. An advisory committee of 15-20 students, staff and facultymembers was assembled to gather information on how the program would best fit the university. VanJohnson, University of Washington's associate registrar, said problems with his school's 548-STARtelephone registration program are minimal. He said some individual mainframes have gone down.However, the main computer system that runs the program hasn't faltered, yet. He said Western's currentprogram of registering by line is further along than the University of Washington's was before its touch-tone program was implemented. "It (the transition) should be less of a problem at Western to switchfrom line registration to touch-tone than we had," Johnson said. Advance registration appointment cardswould still go out, but students could only call at the assigned time and afterwards. One reason forpurchasing the program was to stop students from skipping during registration. St. Hilaire said softwareand program installations alone could cost up to $100,000. He said Western is looking into 20-30companies' software and hardware programs to find one that fits the school's price range and needs. Hesaid the school needs money in advance for full implementation of the touch-tone program by spring,1994. Once implemented, students will register only by phone. Money for the program would come fromsources such as registration operation fees, tuition fees or subletting the use of the program to Aid,continued on page 4 Touch-tone, continued on page 6 ---------- Western Front - 1992 December 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front THE WESTERN BRIEFS WANT YOU!

Study says teenscan't quit smoking after following friends Into the habit WASHINGTON D.C.

Researchers for theNational Center for Health Statistics estimate 3.7 millionteenagers smoke in the U.S. and 92 percent say they plan to stop in another year. The chief researcheron the study said only about 11.5 percent actually manage to quit. Teens surveyed in 1989 said theysmoke to relax and stay thin.

(AP) â€” According to the congressional watchdog groupCommon Cause, the Senateethics committee should retain an outside counsel for its investigation ofOregon Senator Bob Packwood. Common Cause president Fred Wertheimer wrote to Ethics PanelChairman Terry Sanford Dec. 3, saying the committee is at a critical juncture. Wertheimer said seriousquestions have been raised about the committees performance in upholding and enforcing Senate ethics rules and standards. He said Common Cause believes there must be a basic change in the way theSenate oversees and enforces its ethics rules. In the meantime, he said it's essential for the committeeto retain an outside counsel in its investigation of the Packwood case.

By LynnetteBonnema staff reporter Many businesses in Whatcom County are doing their part to reduce waste byrecycling, but few realize the equal importance of buying recycled products. The Third Arrow Project, aone-yearprojectfundedby a grant from the state's Clean Washing-, ton Program, helps businessesimprove their recycling programs -by showing them ways to buy recycled products. Project ManagerFred Miller works with employers to establish a short- and long-term policy of purchasing recycledproducts. "We're trying to get them (the businesses) to realize it's just as important to buy recycledproducts as it is to throw things in the recycling bin," Miller said. Miller said buying recycled products improves the recycling market by making it less expensive for recycling companies to recycle. Millerused mixed waste paper as an example. "If we can find innovative and creative ways to use differentrecyclable material, we can help make it more valuable for recycling companies to pick up the stuff. What we're all about here in the final analysis is to reduce waste," Miller said. Miller said a whole rangeof recycled products exists, and many peopleare unaware of them. "Businesses are intense users ofpaper. Everything from printing paper, copy paper, letter pads, telephone message pads and filefolders is available... On the av-eragedesktop, thereareonly about one or two items that can't bepurchased in recycled content," Miller said. Although Miller admitted recycled products tend to bemore expensive and difficult to distribute, he said he believes those problems will be eliminated asmore businesses become interested and begin buying recycled products. The policy of the 1991 state Legislature is to stimulate the Recycled products, continued on page 5 Aid, continued from page 1ceived. Keep information current at the registrar's office.

"The idea is to look at ways where we can get the private sector market activity tomake the difference. If enough people express interest in recycled content products, you'll see some of those price differences or other problem factors about the market distribution basically eliminatingthemselves," Miller said. Miller said the main idea he stresses when talking to executives aboutpurchasing recycled products is that "every little bit counts." Businesses tend to be afraid of the pricedifferences, Miller said. They don't have to buy every single item in recycled content, but if they can buyone item out of ten available to them, it would be beneficial, he said. In the future, when the price isdriven down, businesses will be able to afford more recycled products, Miller said. Since theprojectbeganin August, Miller said he has been pleased with the response he has received from businesses. "Most of the executives I have met with are very open to new ideas and want to know where they can get certainproducts," Miller said. "Several of my clients have instantly switched over to some recycled items. Theemployees like it and feel better about the place they work in." Miller said virtually all localgovernments now use recycled copy paper. "For a local government that's, a big product," Miller said.Other companies like the Whatcom Medical Bureau and television station KVOS have also switched over to recycled products. AIDS Day commemorated with vigil Andrea Dixon staff reporter Guitar musicplayed softly, as Whatcom County community members gathered at the Assumption church inBellingham on Tuesday, Dec. 1, for a candlelight vigil. The vigil was in recognition of World AIDS Day.The community worship service was held to pay respects to those who have died from or are sufferingfrom AIDS or have HIV, said Judy O'Donohoe, co- coordinator of Western's Lesbian/Gay/BisexualAlliance. The vigil was sponsored by Evergreen AIDS Support Services and Associated StudentsLesbian/Gay/Bisexual Alliance. "It's a show of universal support but also a way for people to reflect andremember those they have lost to the disease," said Sylvia Russle of Evergreen AIDS SupportServices. Gerrit Loman, president of Evergreen AIDS Support Services, welcomed the guests. He toldthe crowd that they should celebrate those who are trying to help those suffering from AIDS. He said thatanyone could make a difference. "We must, we will make a differenceâ€” through understanding,compassion, education and giving," Loman said. According to Evergreen, there are 200 documentedcases of HIV/AIDS in Whatcom County. They say the health department estimates there may be asmany as 800 people who are HIV infected.

Evergreen AIDS Support Services has doubled its caseload since1991 and more than lOpeoplehavediedlocally from AIDS. Currently, there is no known cure for AIDS.People attending the service shared their stories of partners, friends and family members who died ofAIDS. Audience members joined hands and prayed for those who suffer from the disease. "We willremember. We will not forget Our stories weave our lives together and we will not forget," they sang along with performer Geof Morgan. "We came to pray for those who have died from AIDS or have AIDS, andthose with HIV," said senior English major, Marah Rockhold. Junior film studies major, Trina Dewy, said she felt the worship service was a good idea because it gives more awareness to people who think AIDS is a gay disease. "I think this whole thing is good. I know someone with HIV and it's good to showsupport. So many people thought it [AIDS] was a gay disease until Magic Johnson got it. People need to know anyone can get AIDS," Dewy said.

The discussion, "Lessons Learned on the Way to the State Legislature," focusedon the campaign techniques of Sehlin and Dunshee (Sehlin was elected to represent the 10th districtandDunshee waselected to represent the 39th district). The discussion also included the topics of gendergaps in the local and national elections, campaign finance and near future plans of the recently-electedofficials. On the topic of campaign techniques, Dunshee said the key to his success was doorbelling. "Ifound doorbelling much more positive than I expected it to be. Doorbelling is still the most effectivemethod," Dunshee said. He added he also doorbelled those who don't vote and described these people as "alienated from the system." Some non-voters were impressed by his efforts and wanted to knowmore about the candidates, he said. Dunshee doorbelled during the weekdays to talk to women whowere at home. Dunshee referred to these women as either having "money or religion." Sehlin alsodoorbelled. Primarily, he doorbelled voters and said he was discouraged by those who didn't want anyinformation. The key to Sehlin' s success was not so much doorbelling, but rather his opponent, aLibertarian. Sehlin said the Democratic party disenfranchised itself by electing a Libertarian and Sehlinwas able to win many traditionally Democratic votes. Dunshee added he was able to reach into thetraditionally Republican areas and the "new rich" precincts in addition to the Democratic precincts, to win votes. He also used the pro-choice and environmental issues to attract votes. Sehlin and Dunshee(and others involved in the discussion) noticed an "interesting phenomenon" concerning the gendergap in the local and presidential elections. They mentioned that women who work voted for Clintonapproximately 13 percent more than for Bush. Non-working women voted for Bush approximately 20percent more than for Clinton. Kenneth Hoover, chair of the political science department, said thisdemonstrated working women are deviating from historical patterns. In his own election race, Sehlinran against a woman. Sehlin received about 60 percent of the vote to his opponent's 40 percent. Sehlinsaid this was surprising since his candidate, a Libertarian, upheld the radical Libertarian platform ofunregulated schools and no social security. Such ideas are not popular in his district, Sehlin said.Dunshee had a similar experience in his race during the primary elections. While he spent $15,000-$17,000 during his campaign, his female opponent spent nothing, he said. Dunshee received 24percent of the Legislators, continued on page 7 Touch-tone, continued from page 1 other departments on campus. He added other funding options will be explored. Western will not purchase additional software dealing with checks of prerequisites classes, and whether students have fulfilled the stipulations totake the classes. St. Hilaire said there are a couple of reasons for not purchasing, the prerequisiteportion of the touch-tone registration program. The costs of the additional software would-be too muchat this time and Western does not want to overwhelm the student body with too many changes. StHilaire said Western could see a yearly savings of $35,000 from the use of less paper and fewer staffmembers during registration. Theonly lines left would be for independent study class registration, andprobably would require some staff. The checking of prerequisites is a huge job for the computer system. Thecomputerwouldhave to check course-number changes and transfer-student records from previousinstitutions to see what classes carry over. "Students willjbe on an honor system, as always,"^t HQajore said. "It would be foolish for students to take classes they cannot handle." Initial feedbackreceivedfrom a survey taken by the department during spring 1991 class selection fueled this effort to look into touch-tone registration. Students felt Western was not with the times. The advisory committeemembers are soliciting opinions about the program from the staff, faculty and the student body. Some ofthe ideas being considered include closing registration during the times of the day when moststudents are in class. Students would call and register around these time blocks. Students wouldreceive passwords to validate they are registering at their assigned time. Blue slips will containelectronic code numbers to be punched in on a touch-tone phone verifying authenticity. Fordepartments seeking a preregistration period for seniors, codes and restrictions would be assessed. The voice-response system would request the codes when needed. Students who try to pass on codes willfind the code works only once. People passing the code on to other students will nullify their reservationof a class when it's used again. "I think telephone registration isagood idea," Jennifer Mershon, a juniorbusiness major, said. "A lot of people are not able to make it to class with the way it is now." Mary AnnHendryson, professor of economic and Canadian studies departments, said Western should allowfor advance registration for fall quarter with this touch-tone registration program. She said while shewas attending Colorado University in 1972, phone registration was utilized. She added the job wasefficiently carried out by the switchboard at the college. "It's nice for Western to be going into the 20thcentury before we enter the 21st century," Hendryson said. Comies 301 W.

The ship was in U.S. waters topick up a goodwill satellite which landed off the Washington coast. American visitors waited in lines forhours to tour the ship, Marshal Kryiov.

An interpreter told reporters thatmost of the sailors made less than $40 per year. Legislators, continued from page 6 vote, but hisopponent was close behind with 20percent of the vote. Dunshee and Sehlin attribute this outcome tolack of voter awareness of the candidates. Often voters will see a woman's name on the ballot and vote for her whether or not they understand or agree with her political views. "The majority of people do not know who we (candidates) are," Dunshee said. Though the majority of people may not know who thecandidates are, the political action committees (PACs) definitely know the candidates. Sehlin notedPACs are very selective about who they give money to in an election. He added PACs tend to givemoney to those who "can" win, not necessarily to those who "will" win. It is more difficult to get theloyalty vote of a candidate who has a strong chance of winning. The candidate who "can" win is morelikely to be loyal, when voting, to the PACs which contributed to his/her campaign. Sehlin said he hadadifficult time getting money from PACs for the general election. PACs are a part of the politicalspectrum long after elections, because they affect the politician's voting decisions. "People (politicians) are afraid to vote without looking at their contribution list,** Dunshee said. Dunshee would like to see ashift to "100 percent public financing."

Acouple dressed in matching blue and purple slickers come in, shake off the rain and order Rainier beerand Cicchitti's pizza. The tables are packed with a menagerie of Bellingham folk. College students,musicians and artists listen to a band on the low stage belt out a bluesy tune. Random snatches of loudconversations are audible throughout the smoky bar. "Wow! Laurette sure is pumping the bass in thesystem tonight," one young man says about the woman with wild, red hair who stands at a control boardkitty-corner to the stage. She manipulates black knobs and square, silver levers that run row after rowacross the three-foot board. She peers her head around a speaker barely blocking her vision and decidesto turn the guitar amplifierup a bit. When the band stops playing she says into the microphone in front ofher, "You want to check that amp?" "There aren't many women in this type of business... it's good toput women on stage and behind stage because women especially need the advantage of experience."Laurette Langille The lead singer nods and twangs his guitar and says, "Check, Check, Check. How'sthat Laurette?" "BeauTIFUL," she exclaims in the microphone as the band begins an upbeat tune.Laurette Langille runs the sound board every Thursday at Bellingham Bay Brewing Company, 1226 NorthState St. Openmikeatthe3-B(thebar'st,nickname")attractsalarge crowd each week. Part of the openmike's success can be attributed to Langille, who brings Bellingham and out-of-town musicians to play aplethora of musical styles. The music at 3- B is primarily blues with a twist of jazz. Rock V roll cansometimes be heard, but it almost always fades into blues or jazz. Langille calls her job at the 3-B a"volunteer" position, but not by choice. "It wasn't supposed to be a volunteer position, but it's kind ofturned out that way," Langille laughs in an RELATIONSHIPS EDUCATION ADVENTURE LEADERSHIP RESIDENT ADVISOR POSITIONS for the 1993-94 Academic Year Are you... a good listener? open-minded and eager to learn? willing to spend time helping others? sensitive to people with different needsand lifestyles? interested in planning educational and social programs? a full-time student with acumulative GPA of 2.20 or better?

She said her passion in life is her slide guitar and songwriting. As a child, she began performingwith her older sister's garage theatre productions of fairy tales. She has a way of making any word, phrase or sentence sound like a blues song â€” which has earned her the nickname "The Blueslady." Langille is a solo blues artist who sings and plays the guitar at events all over the region. Occasionally, she canbe seen on-stage at the 3-B belting out a blues tune. After studying music theory and flute at Westernfrom 1975-1977, she decided to pursue vocals and the slide guitar. As far as her decision to pursuemusic, she says she used to hang out with a group of fishermen who told her to start singing. "Theycame over to my house and, yeah, we were all drinking. One said, 'you sing great!' I was just drunkenough to believe him. That's how I started gigging and running open mikes." It was ten years ago whenshe began running open mikes in Bellingham. Langille says she has changed her location fourtimes.butthe 3-B is her best location yet. "Thursday night open mikes have really evolved and theparticipation is tremendous," she says as she brushes her hair from her eyes and smiles. "The people at3-B have been truly supportive of open mike. Most of the guys there (the owners) are pretty much intoalternative rock â€” understandably, because that's primarily what they play. I think it took them awhile toappreciate the show for what it was. Now, they're pretty taken aback from it and I really appreciate that,"Langille smiles and turns to her nine-month-old daughter, Tempeste, who plays at her feet. Langillebends down and grabs a bottle out of a jam-packed diaper bag. She explains the crowd and atmosphereat the 3-B as she mixes up a banana-colored liquid for Tempeste's lunch. "It changes so much from week to week. It's hard to make a generalization about the crowd, but it starts off quiet and just gets louder asthe beer flows. Sometimes it's mellow and sometimes it's wild, it depends on the crowd.But, I would sayit's predominantly wild." She explains when she had open mike in other bars, the crowd and musicianswere a lot different. "At Cal's, it seemed really obnoxious. Musically, it took the musicians a long time toaccept the transition from Cal's to the 3-B. They had to augment their sound and learn the house system.It was a challenge for most" Langille said the transition to 3-B from Cal's Tavern was difficult for herbecause of the idiosyncrasies Of the sound system. "I wasn't used to running all the channels. It took agreat deal of time before I stopped feeling overwhelmed, but I'm a one-woman act. Now, musicians thatplay other nights ask me questions about the system. It's great." Other Bellingham bars and taverns have men working the sound board at open mikes. Langille is truly a one-woman act, which is obvious whenone watches her at the 3-B because she handles everything. She helps set up the microphones, theinstruments and equipment, she runs the soundcheck and still manages to find time to talk to hermany friends that come to open mike every week. "There aren't many women in this type of business(running sound). It seems as if every mistake or fault a woman makes will get jumped on. It's just theway it is with all women. It's good to put women on stage and behind stage because women especiallyneed the advantage of experience. She says it's difficult being a single mom, especially when she hasto find a baby-sitter for Tempeste. However, Langille says the results aremore than worth the struggle.She sometimes brings Tempeste along when she sings and plays her slide guitar in her spare time atfestivals in Winslow, Seattle and all over the region. Langille also edits and writes for Northwest Eventsin Bellingham. Most people who encounter Langille wonder how she does it. She's a journalist, amusician, a songwriter, a sound technician and a single mom. Langille sums it all up by saying, "It's ahelluva lot of work, but I love it." ---------- Western Front - 1992 December 4 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front Indian Street Pottery Shopping is an art By Donna O. Fairchild staff reporterEugene Lewis's most extraordinary art work greets you as you open the front door to the Indian StreetPottery Shop. His wall platters show how ceramics, drawing, painting and sculpture can be combined tomake a single statement. Lewis points to a platter and says, "I might modify a rim, glaze over it, add awash of color, scratch into it and fire it sometimes as much as five times before it's completed. Herepottery is used as a format for painting." The folksy character of the little tan house with blue trim thatserves as Lewis's shop and studio is a cover-up for the sophisticated style of pottery inside. Once you'vemade the adjustment, curiosity carries you the rest of the way through two small rooms laden withdinnerware, pitchers, vases, platters, bowls, lamps, planters, wall vases, mugs and even ceramic sinks,Lewis's most recent enterprise. Some vases shine with a bronze metallic luster. Others have a dark,smoky cast, as though recently unearthed from an archaeological dig. These pieces are called copperraku. Lewis printed a statement of his definition of raku. "Raku pottery has its roots in the philosophy and tradition of Zen Buddhism. Its creation is not merely a craft but a deep spiritual experience, an inquiryinto the essence of life. The ware is low fired and porous. It is pottery apart from utilitarian function. Eachpiece is pulled from the kiln individually while it is still glowing hot. Wood chips or other organic materialsare used to smoke the pot and affect the surface. There is an all-consuming relationship between the potand the person creating it. A good pot reflects this personal interchange and transcends material andfunction." When asked how much of his work relates to technique and how much to artisticexpression, Lewis groaned, laid back his head, ran his fingers through his hair, shifted in his chair andsaid, "Would you repeat that question, please?" His wife, Ene, a painter, business partner and co-ownerof the shop, helped Eugene Lewis Photo by Donna O.Fairchild out 'Well, I mink art expression comes first and technique comes later." Lewis said, "If you take any given piece, the percentage will vary, and Iwould be hard pressed to say what that percentage is." Then he said, "I have a Picasso story for you.Once a collector tried to impress Picasso by showing him a Picasso painting he had just bought Picassosaid it was a fraud. So the collector went back to the art dealer and told him what Picasso had said. Butthe dealer said the painting was genuine. The collector went back to Picasso and told him what the dealer said. Picasso said, 'I did not say I didn't do it I said it was a fraud.'" "Sometimes I will do a piece andhave expectations but it won't happen. Then I will come back two years later and will be struck by it,"Lewis said. Many times big pieces will be retired until he gets something with resonance expressing adepth of experience. "In some types of work I will push it to the limit." That "push" drove Ene and Eugene to Bellingham from New York 13 years ago. Bom and raised there, they met at the Alfred University, partof theNew York State College of Ceramics and one of thefinest in the country. . . ; , , ,/ After they married and began raising two sons in the 60s, they realized an income through art sales alone made life a littleskimpy. But they clung to a dream which moved them in and around New York City and upstate NewYork in search of the right environment to practice their art and support themselves. Ene's brother wasteaching at the University of British Columbia and friends were scattered along the west coast. After threevisits to the Bellingham area, they moved here and found an artist's haven. Ene said Bellingham is asupportive place. Most of their friends are in the arts and often indulge in potlucks together. "We know thegreatest cooks in town," she said. The Lewis's look forward to the construction of the Northwest Centerfor Art, which will be built just west of the Whatcom Museum. They'd like to run a co-op gallery in the artcenter through which they'd retail their art.

AAAGGGGHHH!!! Being objective, the performance of WendyWasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles wasn't all as bad as that, but it came near it several timesthroughout the piece. Take three parts meaningless drivel, seven parts despicable characters whoselives are about as pathetic and as near a soap opera as they can possibly get, add a scant set and atedious soundtrack; just add water and you have the type of formula writing that has been taking up toomuch space in the theater (especially coming from the New York area) over the past few years. If youcan get past the fact no one in their right mind could sympathize with these characters and theirelitist, stomach-churning problems, one might just find the makings of some fairly fine performances from the cast of The Heidi Chronicles. Somehow, without the aid of a decent script, Melinda Graham, whoplayed the character of Heidi, Brian Culver, who played Peter Patrone and Andrew Cuk, who portrayedthe wonderfully despicable character of Scoop Rosenbaum, were able to pull the show together andmake it at least viewable. The first act took place between the years of 1965 and 1977, butmostly in the '70s. People old enough to remember thoseyearswillmostlikely agree with me they were notsomething worth reliving, or watching a re-enactmentonstage,forthatmatter. The '70s are a time bestforgot. Even through all this difficulty, the actors pulled it together late in the first act and made at leastthe character studies somewhat appealing. Andrew Cuk, a graduate student and a professional actor,managed a fine performance. His character was intended to be this loathsome, womanizing sort whothe audience would all unite against and lynch by the end of the play, but it seemed that the reverseeffect was taking place. This is by no means the fault of Cuk, but possibly the fault of the writer,making the other characters even more despicable than that of Scoop. He became the sole reason Icontinued watching the performance with anything resembling interest He was witty, sharp tonguedand delightfully evil at times. Thank you, Andrew, for making the performance bearable. The character ofPeter Patrone, played by Brian Culver was a delight to watch as well.

For the most part, Patrone was another dour yet witty and likable character,when he wasn't going on about women's issues or being cliche in his homosexuality. And finally, wecome to the part of Heidi Holland herself. I had to ask myself if this was really justan autobiography ofWasserstein. Who knows? But for the most part, Melinda Graham, also a graduate student, did a finejob bringing her character to life and forcing the audience to care what would become of her in the end.As a whole, The Heidi Chronicles never managed to get things going. There was never any suspensegenerated until almost the very end, when Heidi tells her friend Peter that she is going to run away andstart over again because, gulp, she doesn't know what she wants out of life or what makes her trulyhappy (at what, age 40? What a pity). Is this suspense? Another distracting factor was the use of alecture hall sequence in the beginning of both acts. The character represented there as Holland in noway resembled the character in the meat of the play. It seemed unnecessary and distracting. It couldonly be judged as an attempt by the authors to disguise the lack of overall plot. In summary, thumbsdown for the play in general, but thumbs up for three spectacular actors and their director, DennisCatrell, who were able to pull off decent performances despite their scripts. This was the type of playthat still must be seen, as it is the type of piece that you love to hate. It was good fun in parts.

Let's get a bunch of the greatest collegeathletes in the world together and have them play football every Saturday in the fall. They'll create a tonof revenue for their schools and the television networks. Fans around the country will get swept up inrooting for their favorites and wondering just who is the best team in the nation. Here's where it getsgood. At the end of the season we'll have a bunch of bowl games that mean next to nothing but havereally neat parades and floats and halftime shows. Then after the bowl games we'll let reporters andsportswriters vote on who's the best team in the country - in two different polls, yet. Yeah, I said vote.And sportswriters should vote as well. As if there are a bunch that you want to decide your nationalchampion... If this scenario sounds completely ridiculous to you, that's because... IT IS!!! Yet, it'sexactly what happens every year in big-time college football. Pleaseâ€”in the name of all that's right inthe worldâ€”adoptaplayoff system. Give me one good reason why there shouldn't be a college footballplayoff system and I'll quit ranting right now. Wrong! It was a trick question - there are no good reasons.As long as there is no playoff there will always be doubt as to who's the best team in the country. In thepast two years, even co-national champions with different teams have won each poll, including our ownbeloved Huskies splitting with Miami last year. ("Hey guys, we're national champions! Well, kind of.")Every other sport in every other level of collegiate athletics determines their champion on the field, andthe student athletes in question come through it just fine. Indeed, if you read the comments of our ownViking football team or cross country participants who went to the national playoffs, you heard nothingbut glowing reports from abunch of genuinely excited players and coaches. So don't give me thisnewfangled "bowl coalition," which is supposed to increase thechances of the best teams meeting onNew Year's Day. A weak effort by the NCAA. Do it right ~ and I'll even let traditionalists keep the pollsand the bowls. Cut a game or two off the regular season and then have the bowl games during the firstweek of December instead of late December and New Year's Day. Then â€” and only then â€” let thepollsters vote for the top teams in the country. Take the top eight teams and let them play it off in a firstvs. eighth, second vs. seventh, etc. format on the next three Saturdays on some neutral fields. Put it on pay-per-view and you could pay off the national debt. It's just a suggestion. It would leave nothing todoubt and would be more exciting than having to end with the Tangerine Bowl.

Viking football made history by being the first-ever Western team to qualify for anational playoff berth. Both the men'sandwomen'scross-couritry teams went to Kenosha, Wis. fornationals, and the men's soccer team faltered just two games away from qualifying for the nationaltournament. Football The Vikings began the season with wins over Western Oregon State College andEastern Oregon State College, but fell to Simon Fraser University and Pacific Lutheran University to post a 2-2 record early in the season. Western recovered from the losses and went on to win its last fivegames of the season, including a 37-7 victory over 12th-ranked Central Washington University. TheVikings' win over Central bumped their national ranking up to 15th and qualified them for their first-ever appearance in the national playoffs. The appearance was short-lived, however, as the Vikings weretrounced by Linfieldl College, 26-0, in the first round. The Vikings will graduate 16 seniors from thisyear's team, but will return quarterback Jason Stiles an all-league running back Jonl Brunaugh nextseason, as well as a number of other! up-and-coming young players in hopes of matching thisseason's success.

Fairchild staff reporter Jean Gorton carved her community planning career in Bellinghamalong the path of her choice. "I have a tremendous interest in community â€” what makes it function.That propelled me to be involved in community organization and planning," she said. Heraccomplishments in the 1970s paved the way for her position as vice president of planning anddirector of public affairs at the Trillium Corporation. Trillium develops commercial, recreational andresidential property and manages about 100,000 acres of agricultural and forestry lands. Yet, whenasked about her success, the professional woman smiled, looked away and shook her head self-consciously. "Idon'tthink people know they are successful. That is in the eyes of someone else." Thesoft-shaded conference roominTrillium's downtownhead-quarters cradled a silence. Then she saidsuccess for her is a "willingness to take risks and work with people in controversial situationsâ€”to listen and work with all sides. Anything in planning is controversial. The issue is always difficult to resolve."Being in the right place at the right time could have contributed to it, she added. Gorton received hermaster's degree in sociology, with a focus on community studies, from Washington State University in 1974. She moved to Bellingham from Pullman and volunteered in conducting a public-opinion surveyon what people wanted in their community. "I was hired by the city and became liaison for the HuxleyCollege in 'Goals for Bellingham,'" Gorton said. "I worked with environmental educators Skip Everett, Claire Dyckman and John Miles." Community development opportunities soon followed, such asdowntown re-development, the public transit terminal design and park planning. The first woman towork on the Whatcom County Planning Commission in 1974, Gorton had an opportunity to observeTrillium's president, David Syre, in his treatment of the Snowater project, a 10- acre recreationalcommunity in Glacier near MountBaker. She liked his plan. Gorton's planning commitment throughoutthe 1970s enabled her to become acquainted with Syre, and he hired her in mid-1983 as his firstprofessional assistant. During the nearly 10-year period Gorton has worked for Trillium, she's donealmost every phase of real-estate development and acquisition land planning, from constructionmanagement to sales and leasing. She directs Trillium's long-range planning projects to ensure theywork economically and envi- P Planned Parenthood â€¢ Birth Control E^cams and Supplies â€¢Pregnancy Tests and Referrals â€¢ Infection Tests and treatments AFFORDABLE' CONFIDBNTIALPrompt Service Evening Hours Downtown Bellingham 734-9095 A Club for Women Invites You ToTWO WEEKS FREE 40 Aerobics Glasses/Week Reebok STEP Open 7 Days a Week PesonalizedWt.

Even though thestrength of democracy is the free-market system, Gorton wonders if anybody knows if it works."Economic motivation drives decision-making," she says, "but our economy and social system is highlyregulated. We have over-regulation at this point. We certainly don't have a free-market system."Gorton said she feels the protection of the individual has been carried to such an extreme thatregu-lation has entered every aspect of our personal lives â€” health care, education, building, land use, Jean Gorton manufacturing and private enterprise. Personal responsibility is then taken away from theindividual. "This is an observation and not a value judgment," she said. Gorton thinks the extreme ofover-regulation vs. a lack of regulation need to change so that our society can return to a placewhere business can function. The major problem in our economic system, she said, is a lack ofunderstanding the importance of participating in the global economy. "We don't recognize and functionas though we're a part of the world economy." Gorton's years of planning experience have given her apicture of the biggest economic issues facing Bellingham and Whatcom County. The area should beable to attract basic industry so wealth will generate through high-paying jobs as in manufacturing,she said. "We are in an isolated area with a high standard of living. We attract people without attractingjobs." But she's quick to add we could do it if we focus on our proximity to the Pacific Rim and Asia, aswell as value more highly technical and information sectors of the economy. The Overall EconomicDevelopment Program, the Council of Governments and the Fourth Corner Development Group aretrying to work out a strategy to help the local economy, Gorton said. Gorton said Corporations shouldhelp low-incomeand joblesspeople. "We have a responsibility to provide employment, care for theinterest of employees and give work incentives. And we have a responsibility to the community tocontribute to its enhancement through the arts, environment and medical research," she said. Trilliumhas donated to such groups as the Mount Baker Theatre, Whatcom Museum of History and Art, PugetSounders, North Cascades Institute, Huxley College, the Lighthouse Mission, Women's Care Shelterand others. Although Gorton spoke for herself , she said, "The people who work at Trillium are verycommitted to its goals and mission because they feel a part of the organization â€” they feel connected.There is a sense of family." She said every year Trillium gives the children of employees a Christmasparty. An employment benefit is the use of a staff condominium at the Semiahmoo resort, in Blaine,which is on reserve for employees and their families. Gorton's financial gains have enabled her to savemoney, buy a home and invest with two partners in a low-income rent-controlled house â€” an eight-unitapartment building in the city. She finds time to do volunteer work for the Mount Baker Theatre, the RedCross and Ly dia Place. She tries to make time to balance her mental output with physical activities,like walking, biking and skiing. Offering advice to Western students, Gorton said, "Nobody will givethem a job because they are nice, smiling people who want a job. They need to prepare themselves to contribute to society and work at what they enjoy doing." WESTERN WASHINGTON UNlVERSfTYWestern Men's Basketball 7:30 Fit Dec. 4 vs. FCA 7:30 Sat.

As refinery manager, he held thehighest position at the Cherry Point refinery. ARCO employs more than 400 people in WhatcomCounty, providing a healthy tax base and a diversity of employment opportunities for the area.Formway is still an acting consultant for ARCO and is heavily in-volvedincommunity activities. Since1968, when he and his family moved to the Northwest from ARCO headquarters in New York, Formway has served as president of the Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the United Way fund drive.Among other things, he is the chairman of the YMC A capitol fund drive, amember of the WesternFoundation and a member of the advisory council for Western's business school. - Formway said hefeels the chief economic issue facing the Bellingham area, United States and the world is a lack ofgood jobs that pay enough money to make a living from. He added that providing more job opportunities for graduates and reforming the education system are ways the situation could be improved. "I thinkour schools are turning out highly qualified graduates," Formway said. "Unfortunately our under-fundedstate higher education is turning away students." Formway said community colleges are turning awayhalf of the students that apply.

After two years in New York, and after Sinclair Oil merged with ARCO, hetransferred to Bellingham to work at the Cherry Point refinery. In 1979 he became the refinery's manager. When asked his perception of how the free-market system in the United States is working, heexpressed some concern that the United States is unable to provide the level of employment that isdemanded. The United States has not recognized its need to enter the global market, he added. "Weare becoming more and more a global economy," Formway said. "We have to be a part of the globaleconomy.

Today, he and two of hissons, Michael and Jim, employ 150 people, plus sales staff, at their Bellingham companies, Allsop, Inc. ^ and Softride. The two companies participate in virtually every aspect of the industrial process, frominventing products to manufacturing, assembling, packaging, marketing and _ distributing them toretailers such as K mart, Sears, Walmart and thousands of smaller dealers and chains across theUnited States and in foreign countries. The process begins with the invention and design of products * ranging from the latest in bicycle technology at Softride to computer accessories, audio/visualcleaners, and tennis strings at Allsop, Inc. The invention that started it all 28 years ago was called a"Boot- In." It was a device for storing and } carrying ski boots. From the Boot-In, the Allsops expandedtheir business and began producing ski poles and bindings. "At first, we bought the partsfromamanufacturer and assembled them, and found a distributor to ) distribute for us," Jim explained.This middle-man role eventually began causing problems for the company when plastic equipmenttook over the ski industry. However, the ensuing difficulties actually helped their business grow into what fc it is today. "We werehaving problems with the quality of plastic, so we bought aplastic machine andgot into plastic manufacturing," Jim said. "Eventually, we took over distributing too." Although it wastough starting a business 30 years ago, all three men agreed that it is even more difficult today. "It's 10times harder to start a business now," Jim said. "There are unfriendly banks, liabilities â€” unrealisticexpectations." The Allsops said one reason the U.S. economy is struggling is because of the difficulty involved in beginning and operating a small business today. "What makes America great is smallbusiness people," Michael said. "They provide jobs and new ideas. The biggest issue in making theUnited States great again is to help small businesses." Unfortunately, the government isdoing just theopposite, the Allsops said. "The government does everything in its power to throw roadblocks andobstacles in your path," Jim said. "Government needs to work as a partner, instead of an adversary,"Michael added. "We've been in business 28 years and not once have we ever had a mayor or acongressman come visit us. And it's not from a lack of invitations. It seems kind of crazy to me. Theyspend money trying to getnew businesses inhere, instead of trying to help us and find out what we needâ€” to hire more people." "I think business is misunderstood," Jim said. "Everything comesfrombusiness. But there's a mistrust that should never have been there. We're people just like everyoneelse. Business is sort of theGolden Goose. It needs to be fostered and nourished." "No one ever sitson money. It's out working for other people. A businessman invests it in his business, expands thebusiness, hires people and goes on helping those around him," Ivor said. As one of the onlymanufacturers in the United States producing consumer electronic goods, computer accessoriesand bikes, Michael said competition with foreign companies is a fact of life. For many U.S.businesses, ignoring or denying foreign competition is another major problem. The Allsops referredto the struggling American auto industry as an example of this. "American companies have to dealwith foreign competition," Michael said. "I think Chrysler has finally acknowledged that. They'vegotanew future ahead of them. It takes them 18 months to completely design and build a new car. Ittakes GM over four years." Another harsh fact facing not only American businesses, but Americangovernment as well, is the foreign competition plays by different rules. Japanese and Europeancompanies are working with their governments to be successful, rather than making one another's livesdifficult, Michael and Jim pointed out. "If wedon'tproduce as a country, we won't increase our standard ofliving," Jim said. "The United States has to get into the ball game with other countries and leam toplay by international rules," Michael said. The Allsop's broad-based product market has also allowedFrom left: Ivor, Jim and Michael Allsop them to weather the recession relatively untouched. "We'venoticed it, but we haven't really been affected," Michael said. "It's not so bad in this state, and we feel itmore globally than locally." So what advice did these three menhaveforcollegestudents enteringtoday's job market? Michael, who attended the University of Denver on a ski scholarship and thenwent straight to work with his father, said, "Get lots of education. College is a place to find out you don'tknow very much. Be flexible." Jim attended the University of Washington on a ski scholarship beforegoing to work with his father and brother. "Leam computers and be open-minded," Jim advised. "Bewilling to work at the bottom level. Young people today tend to be impatient. They want to start at thetop. The system doesn't work like that. You can't learn that much in college. It's only a background....Be tenacious and patient Learn as much as you can and be willing to learn a lot more." "You'll learn alot more on the job than you did at college," Ivor said. After two years of college, he worked for theVeteran's Administration for 13 years and then managed the Mount Baker and Snoqualmie skiareas before launching his own business. Michael, who has a son in college, said he sees one majorproblem between colleges and the business world. "There's ahuge gap between small businesses anduniversities," he said. "Students have to find us. They have to find the smaller businesses. I thinkcolleges make a mistake not to contact small businesses. In the end, that's where most students goto work. But you never see them at the (job fairs). Big companies are not where the jobs are anymore.The opportunities are with small companies." Company's success hinges on engaging work, qualityemployees By Jeff Misel staff reporter * Wilder Construction Company was founded in 1911 in Blaineunder the name of C.V. Wilder Co. by Charles V. Wilder Sr. The company's first job was for $35 andinvolved hauling shingle bolts by horse-and-trailer. By 1937, the company had % outgrown its Blaineheadquarters and moved to Bellingham. Since that time its activities have grown to include constructionof dams, major highways and various industrial projects in both Washington and Alaska. Chairman of the Board Charles I V. Wilder Jr. graduated from the University of Washington in 1951 with a degree in civilengineering, and has worked full-time with the company since 1953. When asked how he got where heis today, Wilder said, "You've got to thoroughly enjoy what you're doing. You've gotto enjoy your work.You've got to look forward to getting up in the morning and going out and doing something constructive. If you get to the point where you don't like what your vocation is, you better hunt for something else,because there's no way in the world you'll be successful doing something you don't enjoy. I thoroughlyenjoy the construction business. It's the most fascinating business in the world, as far as I'mconcerned." Besides his enjoyment of his work, Wilder attributes the company's success to thequality of people working there. "We've built an extremely good organization of people. The longevity ofthe people around here is very high . for a construction company. Not many people come to work for usand leave â€” that we really want to keep," he said. Many of the employees have been with the company 20 years or longer. Wilder acknowledged there is Charles V. Wilder Jr. trouble in the economy. 'Thereare definitely problems," he said, "but if you think we've got problems, try Russia on for size. You justcan't imagine how fortunate we are to have been bom and live here in America arid not have to put upwith what they are (putting up with) at this point."

It is also to provide anoutlet for students, faculty, staff and Bellingham community members. We strive to approach each issuewith fairness and sensitivity. Our goal is not to be biased of offensive, but to synthesize and embody thetruth surrounding each issue, conflict or subject that presents itself in our community. This quarter wehave shocked, and even offended some readers with our Frontline editorials. We received much criticismin written and verbal form. The Frontlines were not intended to offend, but to provoke vital thoughtimportant to a campus community. Because we've received so many responses, we feel we've served ourpurpose on this campus â€” to stimulate thought. We are students trying to educate ourselves in a fieldwe find intriguing and thought-provoking. This quarter we tried out new ideas and attempted to create aforum for discourse. We received and printed commentaries and news and feature articles from writersoutside our staff â€” something lacking in the past. We also incorporated a literary page into the accentsection, which brought in yetmore talent. Lately, we've brought anew look to the Front by increasing thepoint size of the text for improved readability. We've been criticized for our coverage, chastised forinaccuracies. We welcome the criticism openly because, as mentioned earlier, we are students who arestill learning. Without response, we would have no indication of the levity of our messages. We would like to emphasize that our publication is open to suggestions. Throughout the quarter, we' ve publishedinvitations to submit commentaries, news, entertainment and feature articles. Although we received fewresponses at the beginning of the quarter, campus and community involvement has increased. Wehope this interest will continue. In the past few months, we've covered issues such as: multiculturalism,gender equity, racism, AIDS, sexualharassment, homophobia, homelessness and the economicrecession â€” to name a few. We've encouraged students to have an active voice in their campus, stateand national governments. We've especially tried to rally interest from our readers concerning theproposed budget cuts that could come next year. Money is on the minds of many in our community,especially after considering the economic climate of Bellingham. In this issue, we decided to take on theeconomic issue from a different perspective. We contacted several successful local businesspeople andasked for their opinions on the economic issues important to our community and nation. We hope ourreaders will find the nature of the articles interesting, as we feel it is important to collect as many differingopinions as possible regarding economic problems. In future quarters, we hope our readers will becomeeven more involved with our campus newspaper. We also hope students will continue to use the Front asan outlet for expression. As we've printed time and again, don't just sit there, contribute to the Front! Ourultimate mission is one of social responsibility. In order for our staff to pursue fairness and truth withsensitivity, we are partially dependent on the community to help guide us on our path. If we misssomething or, in your eyes, need improvement in writing or coverage, contact The Western Front withyour suggestions.

Seven Sisterswas founded in 1981 after Thompson's father sold the electrical division of his, mechanical contractingcompany to his seven daughters. The seven sisters own equal shares in the company. Thompson'ssister Nancy is president of the company. Thompson went to work for the company six months after itwas founded. She said the electrical part of her father's company was earning one-half to three-fourthsmillion in sales when it became Seven Sisters. Thompson graduated from Sedro Wooley High School in 1970, and in 1971 married and moved to Bellingham. Before Seven Sisters she worked for Uniflite inaccounts payable, purchasing and as a receptionist. Seven Sisters' primary work is in industrialelectrical contracting. It has worked with ARCO, Intalco and Scott Papers. The company has alsoexpanded by moving into public works projects. In Bellingham it has worked on the medical artsfacility and the Nelson Harbor Building. Thompson said in the second year she and her sister ran thebusiness they lost a lot of money on their first public works job in Seattle. She said it took themabout two or three years after that to pull things back together. "Maybe someone who didn't have asmuch tenacity would have just given up," Thompson said. Thompson said it is quite an achievement fora construction company to make it past its first five years. "A lot of companies go bankrupt in thatwindow so we can feel good about making it for 11 Christine Thompson years," Thompson said.Thompson said the most important traits graduates need to succeed in business are creativity,flexibility and the ability to work with people. "Getting along with people is themostcritical e l e m en t , " Thompsonsaid. She said this is especially true because of the e m p h a s i s placed oncustomer service in business today. "If you can't provide those needs for customers, you're notgoing to make it. You hear it all the time: service,, service, service," Thompson said. She also saidstudents should get practical experience working in business, rather than going through high school andcollege and never having a job. Thompson said the United States educational system should focus onteaching students how to learn, as opposed to rote memorization of facts. "If you give them the skillsto learn they can learn anything. You don't have to be in a school situation," Thompson said. Thompsonsaid the United States needs to have more aggressive technology industries. "The G.M.s and thesteel plants... those businesses arenot what they were," she said. She said while technology, suchas robotics, may take away some jobs, they will create others. "If we can have the people resources todo those kind of things it will be to our benefit," Thompson said. Thompson said encouragingmanaged growth is the key to solving economic problems in Whatcom County. She said Bellis Fairis anexampleof growth whichcaused a lot of businesses to locate in Whatcom County. 'A lot of peopledidn't want Bellis Fair but now it's there people see it brings a lot of value to the community,"she said.She also said free trade was essential to Whatcom County's economy. Thompson said it is important that the growth be managed, and said it should take into account environmental concerns. "I feel that...refineries argt;d Intalco have a value here, but as an individual I'd like to see more businesses comeinto this area that are less harmful to the environment," Thompson said. She said businesses have aresponsibility to their communities. "Personally, I feel strongly toward taking care of the communitybut I also feel strongly that those people who are capable of working should," Thompson said. "I have areal problem withpeople who think that society owes them a living... if someone has taken the time toleam a skill they should be given the opportunity to use it, but I don't think they should be given apaycheck just because," she said. Thompson said Seven Sisters Inc. has very high ethicalstandards. For example, it does not engage in the common construction company practice of bid-peddling, where one company will tell another what a competitor's low price is. "When we look at hiring people, we lookfor those who have the same values that we as an organization believe in," Thompsonsaid. ---------- Western Front - 1992 December 4 - Page 19 ---------- December 4,1992 LETTERS The Western Front 19 * Abolishing grades, an insufficient solution DearEditor: I would like to respond to Bob Keller's opinion piece about the pre- W sumed tradeoff betweengrades and learning. I agree that to many students, grades do "denote character, worth and personalvalidation" as opposed to a measure of academic achievementin a particular class. And, that gradeinflation does diminish the W apparent achievement of those who work hard in hard classes. I also agree that it is hard to measure anything as complex andmultifaceted as learning on a simplistic scale of zeroto four, to paraphrase his wording. However, I question the practicality of his con- Â£ elusion that sincefor many students grades are more important than, and thus hinder learning, they should be abolished. Ithink the problem is deeper than merely a question of misplaced priorities. Abolishing grades doesn' taddress the underlying reason Â£ wiry students value grades more than learning, which is the popularattitude that school is to be attended for instrumental reasons. Learnin
