Western senior competing
in Microsoft's Imagine Cup
Computer science student traveling to South Korea for international technology competition
Isabelle Dills
THE WESTERN FRONT .
Western senior Brian Thomas is one
of more than 100,000 students from across
the globe going to Seoul, South Korea to
compete in this year's Imagine Cup hosted by
Microsoft,
The Imagine Cup is a student technology
competition for students to participate in one of
nine categories including software design, web
development and photography. Each year the
competition has a theme to which all projects
must be geared; this year's theme is education.
Thomas, a computer science major
competing in the software design category,
was placed on a team with three other college
students from North America. Together they
created a software program called Omni.
Omni is a language learning system which
allows people to meet and communicate in the
language they are learning, Thomas said. Omni
is open to people of all skill levels and will
help language students improve their speaking
ability, he said.
Thomas joined the competition after
Microsoft made a presentation to Western's
Student Chapter of the Association for
Computing Machinery.
The Imagine Cup prizes include $25,000,
$15,000, and $10,000, which are awarded to
the top three teams. Thomas said for him the
competition is about traveling to South Korea
and spending time working with his peers from
all around the world.

Local bicycle club hosts
first annual Cascadia Cup

THE WESTERN FRONT
While most cyclists around the
world were celebrating the first day
of the 2007 Tour de France on July
7, a few dozen in Bellingham were
celebrating another competition of
bicycling prowess: the first annual
Cascadia Cup.
The competition, hosted by
Bellingham-area bike club Worms,
consisted of nine events held at
various locations around Bellingham
starting at Roosevelt Park and ending
at Fairhaven Park. At its peak,
approximately 35 people showed up
to compete, but not every participant
competed in each event.
Shawn Collins, the main
organizer of the event and a
member of Worms, said he saw
the opportunity for a fun bike
competition in Bellingham. He said
he saw other events like the Cascadia
Cup held in other cities, such as
Portland and Vancouver, B.C., and
realized Bellingham should get in on
the fun.
Jeff Baglot, also known as "Jeff
Lost" in the bike community, came
down from Vancouver to compete
along with -friends. Baglot, who
said he was declared a "Bicycle

$300,000
grant

' THE WESTERN FRONT
The Western chemistry and
physics departments received
a three year, $300,000 grant
from the National Science
Foundation to fund research
of a liquid crystals technique
designed by Western students
and staff in early June.
Physics Department
Chair Brad Johnson said the
research project could be a first
step toward creating flexible
electronic screens, which could
be used as flexible solar energy
roof shingles, or thin solar
panel clothing parts.
Chemistry professor David
Patrick, who has been working
on this project for five years,
said the liquid crystals research
is years away from being used
to commercially produce
electronic screens.
"It seems we're at
the jumping point for this
project, it could gain ground
really quickly," said Western
biochemistry senior and
Patrick's lab assistant Brooks
Ohlson. "Over time it would
be another cool technology and
