Aldrin, Jr., ichaelCollins SSW^C-the western front Vol. LXII no. 4 Western Washington State College Bellingham,Washington 98225 Tuesday, July 22, 1969 10c Hill to represent Western at Danish design seminarClaude Hill, technology instructor, will represent Western at an international Danish design seminar inHolbaek, Denmark Aug. 3 through 16. Noted world designers and draftsmen in their search for simplicity and beauty will be able to interchange ideas and inspirations at the seminar, Hill said. The DanishSociety of Arts and Crafts and Industrial Design is sponsoring the seminar. "I hope to discover whyScandinavians and Danes in particular, continually exemplify and produce items just marvelous indesign," Hill said. "They have an inherent sense of materials, color and form. "Scandinavians are able to use the right material in the right way for the right function and to create forms that are imaginative andexciting for contemporary society." The seminar will be divided into three phases. During the workshopphase Hill hopes to visit craftsmen, workshops and studios. The second phase will be "something ofwhat you'd call excursions," Hill said. "We'll tour museums in Copenhagen, a glassworks in SouthZealand and an art gallery. "These tours will acquaint us with evolution of culture by seeing museumdisplays and a wide range of noted designers' activities." The third phase will "give us a feel of the totalculture," Hill said. "We will attend lectures on paintings in medieval churches and listen to classical and modern Danish music." Seminar participants will be housed in a Holbaek manor house normally usedduring the dark winter months as a folk house, Hill said. The folk houses attempt to develop the culturalheritage of peasant classes brought to them, he said. Hill will be accompanied to Denmark by his wife.Security gives parking refunds Fifty per cent refunds on Summer parking permits are still available at theSecurity Office. The fees are being refunded because of lack of parking space on campus due to therecent construction on the parking area bordered by 21st Street on the west and East Campus Drive onthe east and south. This week's Front is only four pages due to the closure of our technical facilitiesduring yesterday's National day of observance. BOO. author speaks today Daniel Keyes, author ofFlowers for Algernon the book of the quarter, will participate in a panel discussion at 4 pjn. today in theVU lounge. Keyes will also discuss his book at 7:30 tonight in the VU lounge. Panelists appearing with Keyes in the afternoon session are: Mrs. Sue Allen Moon, graduate student; Dr. Eugene Garber,associate professor of English and Dr. Eldon Bond, professor of Education. William H. 0. Scott,circulation librarian, will act as moderator. Flowers for Algernon received the Best Novel of 1966 NebulaAward by the Science Fiction Writers of America. It was selected also by Eliot Freemont-Smith of theNew York Times on his list of the 20 best novels of 1966. Keyes second novel, The Touch waspublished in 1968. He is now working on his third novel which is tentatively entitled Willie's Log. Keyesis a member of the English faculty at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. He teaches writing and American literature. Openings still available in reading conference Teachers still interested in attending Western's third annual reading conference, Aug. 11 through 15, may contact Dr. Wayne Lee, director. A verylimited number of openings are left for the conference which will concentrate mainly on reading p r o b le m s and their identification, Lee said. More than 150 persons in addition to a number of students fromDr. Robert McCracken's e d u c a t i o n professions development act reading and language artsinstitute, are expected to participate in the conference. The conference carries one credit hour and isalso designated as Education 480. Most of the participating teachers are from Washington but peopleare coming from as far away as Ohio and Idaho, Lee said. "The conference is really growing by leapsand bounds. "We try to build the program around the theme of the conference." Teachers will attenddemonstrations and follow-up diagnoses by keynote speaker, Dr. Roy Kress, director of the readingclinic, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa., Lee said. Addresses, films, a no-host dinner plus anevening of rest and recreation and discussion groups are also on the program itinerary, the director said. "We have nine people scheduled as discussion leaders; they are from all over the country." Discussion leaders will come from New York, Ontario, F l o r i d a , Pennsylvania, California, Washington andBritish Columbia, Lee said. Participants will be scheduled into one discussion group a day which bestfits their teaching needs, he said. Blocking lane endangers building Students are asked to park only onthe graveled areas in the temporary parking area between Bond Hall, Carver Gymnasium, and theindustrial arts building, Robert A. Smith, security marshall, said last week. The paved areas aredesignated as a firelane and several buildings are endangered if that lane is blocked, he said. ---------- Western Front - 1969 July 22 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, July 22, 1969 THOUGHTS • • • _l f • background and progressivecommentary on today s issues M PUOPITHECUS PROCONSUL OHYOP1THECUS OREOPITHECUSRAMAPITHECUS AUSTRALOPITHECUS P«.RAWTHROPUS ADVANCED HOMO ERECTUS EARLYHOMO SAPIENS SOLO MAN RHODESIAN MAN NEANDERTHAL MAN CRO-MAGNON MAN MODERNMAN , • ^ AUSTRALOPITHECUS From the Associated Students Improve bookstore operations Justas an outa the way bita gossip, the Associated Students own the bookstore and is THE legalmanagement. The bookstore makes what it calls a profit (but not a profit in the usual sense) which is put back into merchandise and into a fund for expansion which is approximately $25,000. Sundries are the main support in keeping book costs down. Management and student government (ownership) have notexactly broken any barriers of cooperation in the past, but this has and is being rectified. Someexplanations of operations, future possibilities and restructuring of the board of control will beforthcoming. The number one bad boy in the bookstore situation is the faculty. Faculty members order .ifcre- books for their courses without investigating such an insignificant fact as how many people aregoing to take a given course.. The result is a lot of unsold books which cost around $38,000 a year tomail back to the publishers. To put it mildly, this raises the costs of textbooks. Faculty members alsoorder books late From the Mother Country and request airmail shipment which runs into a good deal ofexpense. The major buy-back problem is text change. A factor over which the bookstore has no control.In the future, department chairmen and individual faculty members will be contacted and asked forcooperation. College administrative officials have also failed to include bookstore management officials in planning of the new VU addition to allow for expansion and possible storage space. With morestorage space the bookstore might be able to order sundries in larger quantities to reduce prices. Athorough investigation of the bookstore situation is well underway. Some ideas being tossed aroundare: offering a larger selection of records (since Bellingham doesn't have a good record shop) andexpanding sundries sales. Funds from both sources could be used to support the cost of textbooks.Bookstore management is cooperating with student government and already has some studies underway for better opera-t i o n s - «•'•»„ Steve Morris Front needs political viewpoint Ed. Note:This column will be written each week by a different member of the Students for a Democratic Society.The views expressed are not necessarily those of the whole organization. From our first reading of theSummer Western Front we realized that it was up to the people to interject a political viewpoint into thisnewspaper. Therefore we acquired this column to tell you how White radicals see the world, especiallythe United States. The first priority in this article is to explain our choice of the title. "From the MotherCountry." We are realizing more and more as we read about, observe and live in the U. S. that it is acolonizing country. We recognize that Black people within the borders of the U. S. form a colony and are essentially a separate nation. The U. S. is therefore the mother country. In later articles we will attemptto articulate this dilemma. Right now we want to explain why White people from the mother country areon the side of the colony within our borders and the new-colonies in other lands. One of the primefeatures of colonialism, the main reason why some men of conscience do not hate it, is racism.Racism is the expression, by individuals and institutions, of attitudes of superiority of one class ofhumanity over another. The means of expression often include physical violence, economic exploitationand various segregation policies. But racism does not necessarily mean hate; one can love the dogone feels superior to. But the fact that certain people are thought to be inferior makes their exploitation,their colonization, easier. Now the point is that for any people who are the objects of racism to freethemselves from the racist people, it must stand up to its oppression and win its freedom by any meanspossible. Black people have begun to do this in our country. The reason Black people are tending as awhole to reject non-violent methods is that they don't work. They are beginning to see that they mustseek to alter the basic structure of society in order to eliminate the root causes of their colonialoppression. One of the main purposes of a White radical organization like SDS is to aid the oppressedin their struggle, and we have decided, after many years of "working within the system" that the problemis the system. Therefore, we desire to create a revolution in the mother country because that is theonly way internal and foreign colonialism and racism will end; the only way real freedom can be brought to the "Free World." Becky Bathurst and Skip Richards Perspectives Encourages perception JOHNMILES contributor "Recreational development is a job not of building roads into lovely country, but ofbuilding receptivity into the still unlovely human mind." Aldo Leopold expressed a significant concept inthis manner. He once examined "outdoor recreation" and discovered the obvious but generally overlooked fact that recreation is not only the environment, the outdoors in Leopold's context, but one's reaction to it. "Perception" is the essence. The major problems facing all of us concerned with the quality of ourenvironment, if we place any stock in Leopold's idea, are those of perceiving the qualities of thatenvironment and encouraging this perception in others. It is difficult to isolate these qualities and evenmore difficult to reveal them to another who is neither concerned with nor aware of them. During therecent controversy over the redwood forests of northern California, someone pointed out that if you've seen one redwood you've seen them all. A great many people disagreed with this view because theyperceived something along the Emerald Mile besides a group of trees. They perceived a living communityof a rare scale and grandeur that put them and their fellows in perspective. They saw something unusualand wonderful and uplifting about this community of giant plants. Qualities of the large redwood grovesnot present in a single tree or even an isolated grove of trees impressed them. They perceived things herethat the "If you've seen one you've seen 'em all" fellow did not. The task of those desiring to save theredwoods was to explain what they perceived and to encourage others to extend their perception beyondthe economic, developmental and agricultural aspects of the land to the aesthetic, romantic or other"emotional" faces of the place. They worked at the problem and achieved some degree of success. Some of the groves have been preserved. Those of us trying to develop an environmental ethic and to promoteits acceptance among a populace only slightly aware of the need for such a thing must perceive andcommunicate our views. We enjoy the grandeur and beauty of a wild place but have troublecommunicating the essence of an experience to others. Transmission of an idea or experience to a fellownot aware of this is education and in this lies the task of those seeking to improve or preserve or salvagethe environment. It is a most difficult task. The only way to approach the problems of building receptivityinto the unlovely human mind is to assume that such construction is possible and to begin workimmediately. thewestern front official weekly newspaper of Western Washington State College secondclass postage paid at Bellingham, Wash. 98225 phone, 734-8800 editorial, ext. 2277 advertising, ext.2276 Jill Stephenson editor-in-chief Judy Williams copy editor Adele Saltzman managing editorMaryjo Hardy ad manager Mike Moore cartoonist Bill Woodland business manager Gerson Milleradvisor Reporters: Katie Pratt, Ken Ritchie, Carolyn Zeutenhorst Photographers: Art Christensen, LydiaChristensen, Bob Kelly, Curt Rowell, Bill Woodland.

Participants will learn of "new substantial advances intheir fields and how to couple these with innovative curricular approaches in their college classes," Dr.Samuel Kelly, co-director of the institute said. Calvin Mathews, associate registrar, is the other co-director. Most of the participants hold masters, are teachers of community colleges and have not beenback to school for two years, Kelly said. Participants primarily are from Washington and all are financed through EPDA, he said. Each department will have its own m a t e r i a l s with accompanying lectures, d i s c u s s i o n s , laboratory experiences, and examinations of the development of curricularmaterials, Kelly said. At least two faculty members from each department, able in their fields and withsome community college background teaching experience will instruct the institute, he said. Western is one of the limited number of institutions to be funded under this portion of EPDA, Kelly said. A follow-up next winter with institute participants will determine how this Summer's institute has helped them intheir classrooms, he said. Through their advice and evaluation we will be able to tell how well we havemet their needs and how we can change the format, he concluded.

It is, however, no place for the non-swimmer or the faint-hearted. Half-hidden rocks and snags, cataracts, and treacherous currents put the "rat" at the river'smercy. His only insurance is a rubber raft, a life jacket and a paddle which, at times, is all but useless.Starting from Newhalem, one begins the 70-mile journey westward to Mount Vernon and the 500-footdrop to the sound. Once the raft is launched, the idea of keeping dry soon vanishes. The relatively calmwater does not last long, and the novice soon becomes a veteran. Immediately around the first bend aroar is heard, and initiation to "white" water is imminent—so is immersion. Now the river takescommand and the raftsman feels himself helplessly being pulled into the narrow gorge. The urge to take pictures is suddenly and irrevocably replaced by the urge to just hang on. Everything else is forgotten.Imitating a roller coaster, the raft vainly attempts to contort itself to the violently changing surface.Suddenly there is a muffled crash and the raft is filled with glacial water; its occupants are either tooexhilarated or too frightened to notice the icy cold. Perhaps five minutes pass in this semi-submergedcondition, and then it's over. Calm water reappears, and the raft is beached, emptied, inventoried andlaunched again. This scene—but with less dramatic results—is re-enacted five more times in the next10 miles. It is at this point, near Marblemount, that the more adventurous river rat pulls out his craft and repeats the trip, for the next 60 miles offers little in the way of excitement. From here, with theCascades safely behind, the river now meanders peacefully through the lower Skagit Valley. Some 20to 30 leisurely spent hours, depending on the current, are required to complete the journey. But thisserenity is not for the true river rat. Once he has tasted white water, that is where he wants to be.Western's Viking Yacht Club leads sailboat racing series on Whatcom BOB KELLY contributor TheViking Yacht Club took four of the first six places in the Spring sailboat racing series on Lake Whatcom. The Bellingham Yacht Club small boat fleet has been sponsoring the races which have taken placeevery Sunday since May. Mike Collins of Western upset Kimble Forest who led the series until the lastrace. In the final race, Collins got a first and Forest fell to fourth. The series ended with Collins in firstplace with 6.25 points and Forest in second with 8.25. In third place was Western's Fred Jenson with18.5 points. The Vikings were sailing Western's six International "420 class" sailboats, in competitionwith eight other 420's from the lake contestants. In the handicap division, D. Elliott was first in his DaySailer with 3.75 points, followed by T. Williams in his fast-moving Fireball with 11.5. D. Barrell was thirdin a Y-Flyer with 14 points. In the Viking Yacht Club's meeting last week, plans were made to start theSummer series on July 20th. The handicap system, which is designed to make the races fun for alltypes of boats that sail on the lake, was discussed. Under the handicap system a boat doesn't have tocross the finish line first to win. The possibility of a long distance race, which would begin at Lake wood, circle the Island and end at the starting point, was mentioned. MOTORCYCLE RACING HanneganRead Speedway T. T.
