Women's team wins Western's second national title BY MICHAEL LYCKLAMA The Western Front Western women's crew team finally captured the national title Sunday after falling short the past four years. The team finished sixth in 2001, when all three NCAA divisions competed for one title. The Vikings placed second in 2002 and 2003 and third in 2004 in the NCAA Division II championships. Western led in 2004 until the last 600 meters when the rowers caught a crab, which is when an oar gets stuck in the water, and the boat had to come to a stop, said John Fuchs, Western crew program coordinator and women's crew head coach. "After catching a crab last year, we were very, very focused on nationals," said Gail Lumsden, Western senior crew member, co-captain and No. 3 rower in the varsity eight. "Each practice, every stroke was focused on this race." Western won the varsity eight and the varsity four and finished with a perfect score of 20 points at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center on Lake Natoma. Mercyhurst College from Erie, Pa., placed second with 12 points. The eight includes eight rowers and a coxswain, who directs the rest of the crew, while the four includes see CREW, page 8 BY BECKY ROSBLLO The Western Front Traveling 44 hours on five different airplanes, stopping in three different countries and going on one train ride — all for two weeks of work in 110-degree heat — is more- than Western junior Ivy Wilson bargained for when she planned a tsunami-relief trip to India in February. "It's been a lot more work than I anticipated," she said. Wilson and 14 other Western students, staff and faculty members formed the Western Washington University Tsunami Relief and Response Team after the December tsunamis. The club will leave June 9 forNagapattnam, India, to aid in reconstruction efforts and will return June 22, Wilson said. Beth Stickley, Woodring College of Education professor and club adviser, said more than 5,800 people in the southeast India city died in the disaster. The club members are working with the international disaster-relief organization Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team and will receive more specific instructions about their project from the organization upon their arrival in Nagapattnam, the most damaged city in India, Wilson said. The organization focuses on rehabilitating communities damaged by the tsunami. The group's current plants to build a fence around a local children's park. Adding to the stress of manual labor, the group will be working in temperatures of more than 110 degrees. Wilson said possible dehydration concerns her, but everyone . has been preparing for the climate change. Stickley said the group will also bring its own bottled water and filters to prevent becoming sick. The largest health threat is the waterborne bacteria Giardia Lamblia, which is common in lakes and slow-moving water, Western freshman club member Brian Augenthaler said. The club chose to work with the relief organization because of its extensive disaster-relief experience and zero overhead monetary policy. "(Zero overhead) means nothing is going to administration," Wilson said. "Everything goes toward the victims." see INDIA, page 4 Western to offer Gamp for children BY MICHAEL LYCKLAMA The Western Front Western's Extended Education and Summer Programs" will collaborate with the Campus Recreation Services staff to offer weekly educational camps this summer for Bellingham students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

The camp will accept a maximum of 40 students per week. If parents sign up their children for more than three weeks, they receive a 10 percent discount, said Pete Lockhart, assistant director of programming and services for Campus Recreation. "This gives parents the opportunity to have an educational experience as well as fun," Lockhart said. "It's more than your average camp." The students will spend the mornings on campus learning with teachers who graduated from Western this school year. Then students will spend afternoons with the Campus Recreation staff.
