TUESDAY, July 10,2001 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 117 Issue 3 Bellingham, Washington Eleanor Roosevelt topic of Western professor's book By Brian Harrington THE WESTERN FRONT Eleanor Roosevelt, former first lady and American stateswoman, and her private writings are the topic of Western history in Western History Professor Donald Whisenhunt's second book, "It Seems To Me: Selected Letters of Eleanor Roosevelt." His first book, "Poetry of the People: Poems to the President, 1929-1945" is a collection of poems Americans wrote to former Presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt. 'People either loved or hated Eleanor and still do today. This book shows just how much control she had.' Donald Whisenhunt Western history professor His newest book is filled with letters that Whisenhunt and his co-editor Leonard Schulp selected from the archives at the Franklin Roosevelt Presidential Library in New York City. "When she died, she gave these letters to the public," Whisenhunt said. "They need to be explained properly and chronologically." The two historians wrote introductions to the 275 letters in the book and tracked and footnoted all of the individuals mentioned in the letters. Whisenhunt did much of his work for the book while teaching in Korea during the fall of 1999. The book took nearly 18 months to publish, during which time Whisenhunt made three trips to the Roosevelt Library. "People either loved or hated Eleanor, and still do today," Whisenhunt said. "This book shows just how much control she had." Some of the letters included in the book are to Presidents Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy. "Because she was who she was, they listened," Whisenhunt said. He said Eleanor visited Seattle many times. Her daughter's husband was the editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

This was the Parks Department's third concert of the summer. See story, Page 4. U.S. families changing ByGiegWoehler THE WESTERN FRONT The American family is getting harder to define, as men and women get married later and less often, according to a recently published study by three Western sociologists. Sociology chair Jay Teachman and faculty members Lucky Tedrow and Kyle Crowder conducted the study, which was published in the Journal of Marriage and the Family's "Decade in Review" issue. Teachman said he and his colleagues had no concrete definition of the word family, but he said their research showed Americans have very different expectations of marriage than previous generations. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^•Ifc 'There's much more diversity in what people consider a family, and much more diversity in children's experiences in families.' Jay Teachman Western sociology professor Traditionally, couples married early and had children. The mother stayed at home and the couple remained together until one of the partners died. That's not the case today" Teachman said. "There's much more diversity in what people consider a family and much more diversity in children's experiences in families." Teachman said half of all white children and two-thirds of all black children in the United States spend at least part of their childhood in single-parent families. Though statistics seem to indicate that children who grow up without both parents are at a disadvantage, Teachman wouldn't go as far as saying a single-parent environment was harmful. "We generally find that children who No suspects in burglary case By Tamara Harvey THE WESTERNFRONT University Police are still looking for suspects and leads for the June 11 burglary of College Hall.
