WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY VOLUME 104 ISSUE 13 FRIDAY May 15,1998 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Christopher Woitach, guitar, and Larry Holloway, bass, of the Julian MacDonough Quartet perform in the Western Gallery. The quartet, one of four scheduled musical accompaniments to the "Seeing Jazz: Artist Huxley students receive money from Audubon By Jenni Odekirk The Western Front Dan Beard, senior vice president of the Audubon Society and Western 1998 Distinguished Alumnus, presented a $1,000 grant to graduate student Natalya Antonova. The Audubon Society is a 550,000 member organization focused on birds and the preservation of their habitats. The grant will enable Antonova to go to northwestern Utah from June 15 to July 10 to study, with satellite imagery, the effects of land-use change on the Ferruginous hawk. •"The satellite equipment costs $1200," Antonova said. "The money will go directly for that." Antonova began studying the Ferruginous hawk in 1996 when she was working at the Bureau of Land Management. "They were studying the nesting habits of the hawks," Antonova said. "The government is looking to put them on the endangered species list, but it needs more information." Antonova said she asked the Audubon Society for funding because it does similar research in Utah. Beard said when he and a colleague read Antonova's proposal, the only word that came to their minds was "wow." "It's a terrific proposal," Beard said. During the presentation, Robert Monahan, professor emeritus of geography and regional planning, gave six Patrick L. Monahan geography scholarships. Xuehua Zhang, a graduate student in geography with an emphasis in natural resource concentration, received $2,000 each. Tyson Waldo, a graduate student in geography with an emphasis in international natural resources management, Michelle Watkins, a geography major and an elementary education student, and Eric Youngren, a graduate student in geography with an emphasis in outdoor and natural resource education, received $1,000 each. Jennifer Bell, a geography major with a resource management emphasis, and Tim Schultz, a graduate student in geography with a resource management emphasis, received $500 each. The Patrick L. Monahan scholarship fund was established by Robert Monahan and his wife in memory of their son after he died in 1974 in a drunk-driving accident. The first scholarship was given in 1975. The Monahans, Western alumni, faculty and staff have contributed to the fund over the years. The scholarships are given to students based on their potential for contribution in geography and regional planning, Monahan said. "The government is looking to put (hawks) on the endangered species list..." Dan Beard Audubon Society senior vice president Marine center research funded By Matt Renschler The Western Front Western Washington University's Shannon Point Marine Center has, once again, received funds from the National Science Foundation, demonstrating its recognizable educational merit within the scientific community. The NSF has awarded Shannon Point $545,000 to help it continue the Minorities in Marine Science Undergraduate Program, which will extend the program through 2004. Each year, Shannon Point recruits eight minority students from across the nation to study marine science at its campus in Anacortes. These students learn about the fields of marine science and ecology by participating in laboratory and field research throughout the school year. Money from the NSF pays for the students' tuition, housing and travel expenses. The NSF's decision to extend further funding to Shannon Point was based upon the recognized success of students who have completed the program. Many graduates are already making contributions to the field or pursuing higher education in graduate schools. Stephen Sulkin, a director at Shannon Point, said, "This grant is the result of a highly competitive process. Its renewal is a reflection of the hard work and accomplishments of the student participants." Apparently, the NSF has been especially impressed with Shannon Point in recent months. Aside from funding the Minorities in Marine Science Undergraduate Program, the NSF has also decided to continue financial support for other Shannon Point programs. In June 1997, the NSF awarded Shannon Point a $520,000 grant for the three-year program. SEARUN's purpose is to involve undergraduates as equal partners in coral biology research. It gives students a chance to tackle a real-life problem and do real research with the aid of various faculty members. Gisele Muller-Parker, Jack Hardy and Suzanne Strom comprise the faculty team that represents ecological, photobiological, biochemical and optical fields of research. Erin Macri, a research technician and former Shannon Point student emphasized the significance of this cross-disciplinary group of researchers. "What's really unique about this project is they're looking at it from an interdisciplinary approach," Macri said. Ultimately, it may be the comparisons between the different aspects of the project that will be responsible for its success. The three-year long project examines the symbiotic relationship between zooxanthelle (single-celled algae) and corals, and the effect environmental stress- See Grant, page 5 Photo courtesy of Shannon Point Marine Center website A researcher at the center dives to collect samples.
