BY STEFANI HARREY The Western Front After judges invited first-grade students from Geneva Elementary School to play on furniture Western's sophomore industrial design class created, they announced the winners of the Mount Baker Plywood Design Competition. Judges chose three winners from the Engineering Technology 216 class, sophomore industrial design, and awarded them a total of $3,000 in scholarships from Mount Baker Products, the supplier of the plywood used in each piece of furniture, said Jason Morris, assistant professor of industrial design ,at see CHILDREN, page 8 Iraqi writers visit Western BY KIRA FREED The Western Front Two Iraqi women visited Western Tuesday to share their experiences living in the Middle East and discuss issues facing women in Kurdish and Iraqi societies. "This is a most beautiful picture — you and me, a Kurd and an Arab, sitting onstage together," journalist Alia Mamdouh said. Her comment ended the discussion that followed the event, "Women Writers of the Arab World." Mamdouh and poet Choman Hardi read from their published works and then answered questions from the audience at the event in Old Main Theatre, which highlighted the lives of women — particularly women writers — in Kurdish and Iraqi cultures. "Living in a dictatorship doesn't mean that literature doesn't flourish," Hardi said in her speech. Mamdouh agreed and said that in the past 30 years, society has broken down the taboos of religion, sex and politics in Iraq, allowing writers more freedom in their work. "There are many women writers in Iraq," Mamdouh said in her speech. "I think Iraqi women are more politicized than men in the way they write." Mamdouh was born in Iraq in 1944 and attended school in Baghdad, women's studies program director Rosanne Kanhai said in her introduction of Mamdouh. Mamdouh has written four novels and two collections of short stories, all in Arabic, Kanhai said. "My language protects me, and without it I will probably die," Mamdouh said about not writing in other languages. "Arabic is my means of earning because I do my writing in Arabic." One of Mamdouh's novels is available in English. Publishers released the novel's first translation as "Mothballs," but re-released the book this year as "Naphtalene: A Novel of Baghdad (Women Writing in the Middle East)" because Mamdouh was dissatisfied with the translation, Kanhai said. At the, event, Mamdouh read' a passage from "Naphtalene" that described a scene of female Iraqi family members and friends at a public steam bath, and the impressions it left on the main character, a rebellious Iraqi girl named Huda. see WOMEN, page 6 Dump and ditch trash Nonprofit group will collect students' unwanted belongings BY DAN GROHL The Western Front At the end of every spring quarter, an exodus of students empty the neighborhoods surrounding Western. Many students leave some belongings on the side of the road near their homes when they leave. RE Sources, a local nonprofit group, will collect these items this year in an effort to keep the streets of Bellingham free of clutter. Students discard an estimated four tons of reusable materials every year, said Lisa Friend, RE Sources special projects coordinator. The goal is to collect at least one ton of materials. RE Sources will donate items that still function to local charities like the Goodwill. "Students have only so much room in their cars," Friend said.
