By Brian Harrington
THE WESTERN FRONT
Beautiful swans all in a row,
sliced open so their insides show.
Members of the Trumpet Swan
Society along with local volunteers
and a group from North
Carolina State University are in
the midst of performing necropsies
— animal autopsies — on
173 swans that have died in
Whatcom County in the past four
months.
Western is providing the
Huxley College Environmental
Center as a location for the work.
North Carolina State
University professor Laurie
Degernes said the work done this
week will help with a research
project done in the fall and winter
to see where swans are eating.

the
stomach of a
swan to determine
cause of
death as Heidi
Vogt records
the findings.
The birds
have been
mistaking
lead shotgun
pellets for
rocks, and
ingesting
them to aid in
digestion.

THE WESTERN FRONT
Western's administration is
asking students to brainstorm
ways to enhance Western's
environment, said Carmen
Werder, faculty member of the
Teaching and Learning
Academy.
Werder said the Academy
wants to know what students
think about General University
Requirements and Western's
expansion.
"Rally for Learning," an
opportunity for students to
vent their biggest complaints
about Western, will take place
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 8 in
Red Square.
"The purpose of the rally is to
gather student voices on issues
such as classroom size, current
GUR requirements and the
quality of teaching," said Kris
Bulcroft, special assistant to
' the Provost's office.
The rally is sponsored by
Western's Teaching and
Learning Academy, a program
started three years ago by
Bulcroft and 20 other faculty
members.
Students who fill out either a
questionnaire or complete an
interview with volunteer students
or faculty members will
enter in a drawing for prizes,
such as a year-long parking
pass, a $200 gift certificate to
Western's bookstore and other
smaller prices that can be used
throughout campus.
