The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 110 Issue 7 Bellingham, Washington
New rec
center for
students
proposed
By Shannon Ager
THE WESTERN FRONT
Rock climbing walls, an
indoor track with a turf field
and a 25-yard, 12-foot deep pool
with six lanes and a diving
board were requests students
had for a new
campus recreation
center.
The kickoff
meeting in a
series of 10
focus groups
allowed students
to give
opinions on
their needs for a
new recreation
center.
"It will be built by the students
and for the students," said
Victor Cox, Associated Students
president. "It's a big project —
all students should have a voice
and an opinion."
Jeffrey Turner of Brailsford &
Dunlavey, the Washington,
D.C.-based company in charge
of designing the project, said
surveys will be mailed and conducted
by phone to gather more
student input.
Ten student leaders gathered
Wednesday in an informal setting
to discuss the new campus
recreation facility with two
members of Brailsford &
Dunlavey.
"We asked the university to
put together student leaders
because I think everybody here
represents a different consitu-

THE WESTERN FRONT
In a presentation reflecting
the World Wide Web's impact on
communication, Chai Ling delivered
the first lecture of Western's
1999-2000 Distinguished Lecture
Series Monday in the Performing
Arts Center, comparing the student
revolution in China with the
"Internet revolution" occurring
today.
Chai, who helped lead the student
protest for democracy in
Tiananmen Square in 1989,
spoke of the three different chapters
in her life: her life as a student,
her quest to spread awareness
of the human rights violations
occurring in China and her
latest project — an Internet company
seeking to connect professors
and students through online
technology.
"The Internet is one of the technologies
I.have faith in," she said
at a press conference prior to the
lecture. "I think the Internet has
been one of the major technologies
that will transform the way
we live."
Her growing interest in online
communication grew out of a
desire to educate people by what
she said is the most free form of ~
speech: the Internet. Terrill Simecki/ The Western Front

Western receives $25,000 grant for Holocaust study
By Jill McEvoy
THE WESTERN FRONT
Western's Northwest Center
for Holocaust Education will
receive a $25,000 humanities
focused grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities.
The grant will fund a series of
Holocaust-Genocide studies
workshops for middle and high
school teachers in Whatcom,
Skagit and Snohomish counties
during a 13-month period.
Workshops are designed to
give educators in these counties
improved knowledge and strategies
for teaching Holocaust and
genocide-related issues in their
language, English and social
studies classes.
"Teachers were noticing more
demographic changes (in our
area), and bigotry and hatred
were becoming common," saidx
Ray Wolpow, coordinator of the
project and a professor in
Western's Woodring College of
Education.

By Melissa Miller
THE WESTERN FRONT

four-phase project this quarter.
The media upgrades will
equip the classrooms so teachers

St. Hilaire said.
"The project began Oct. 5 and
will be completed late
December," St. Hilaire said.
"The first phase is almost done."
