FALL/WINTER 2007 NEWS FOR ALUMNI & FRIENDS OF^WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

Songs Never SilencedBy Dee Johnson

UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS

In his journal, Morris Tenenbaum relates the daily experience of family members who survived the pogroms in turn-of-the-century Lithuania. They escaped to America, traveling in the steerage compartment of a freighter. In their trunks and boxes and bags, they carried jars of chicken schmaltz mixed with hot water and hard bread, kosher food that would sustain them on their very long journey.

: In their hearts, they carried the music that had always sustained them.

A generation later, when the Holo­caust was beginning, Jews were herded onto the boxcars of trains going to unannounced destinations. They gave up their trunks and boxes and bags, but they did not give up their music.

Using music, stories and slides, Millie and the Mentshn, a Klezmer band, shows how Jewish music changed as it moved across time and space before, during and after the Holocaust. Cam­pus visitors will have an opportunity to experience this journey when the band brings its multimedia concert to

Western's Performing Arts Center on April 22*

Millie and the Mentshn was formed in 2002 when Millie Johnson, a WWU professor of mathematics, began re­searching the lyrics and melodies that shaped the music so often remarked on in the journals written by her grandfa­ther's cousin, Morris Tenenbaum. Band members include Lou Lippman, piano, Warren Palken, drums, Ken Bronstein, oboe, and Phil Heaven, viola and violin. Johnson is the vocalist for the band and also writes the musical arrangements.

Lippman and Bronstein are also on the faculty at Western. Lippman is a professor of psychology; Bronstein is an accounting lecturer.

Following a chronological path, the April concert will introduce folk tunes starting from the late 1800s. The pro­gram will include a love song written in 1933 by Eliza Greenblatt. Her musi­cally gifted family included son-in-law Woodie Guthrie and grandson Arlo Guthrie. Other songs from the Depres­sion era will include "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" made popular by Bing Crosby.

VOL 13, NO.l

The program will include a selection of songs written in the ghettos and con­centration camps. Rarely do these songs address normal happenings— romance, children at play, the joy of learning. These songs chronicle families torn asunder. The lyrics, often narrative, are less soothing than the music. Dremlyn Feygl (Birds Are Dreaming) is a typical example of a lullaby.

Your cradle once did stand

Woven out of happiness.

And your mother, oh, your mother

Never will return. Hushabye.

The music began to change in 1941 as the partisan movement developed. Johnson says that "What distinguishes the music of this period is the march rhythm (4/4 time) and the themes, which changed from tragedy and desperation to courage, dignity and survival. Many resistors, and they included non-Jews, were living in the woods and using what weapons they could steal or borrow. The rhythm of the music evokes a feeling of strength and spirit."

After the war, as survivors immi­grated to the United States, joy and hope tempered by grief fused together to iform a new dynamic. "The music that evolved was a systhesis of Old World traditions and the sounds of Broadway tunes and jazz that greeted them in the New World. Like the survivors, the music has adapted.

''Songs Never Silenced" has received generous support from the WWU Diversity Fund and from other campus organizations, including Hillel, Luther­an Campus Ministry and the Northwest Center for Holocaust, Genocide and Ethnocide Education.

The title "Songs Never Silenced" is be­ing used with permission granted by Velvel Pasternak, editor of a book with the same title.

Courtney Schneider

VOLLEYBALL TEAM DESERVES RECOGNITIONI enjoyed reading the Spring/Summer 2006 edition of Window on Western. When I read through the Parade of Champions, however, I was disappointed to not see anything about volleyball.

Courtney Schneider, our libero, received many honors this past year, including Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) Academic All-Star, first-team GNAC All-Star, honorable mention honors for American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA)/NCAA DivisionII All-American Volleyball Team, first-team AVCA and Daktronics Pacific Region all-star squads, as well as being the first libero in GNAC history to earn player of the week. My daughter, Tiana Roma, was GNAC Freshman of the Year in 2005.

It would be wonderful to see the volleyball schedule advertised along with the football schedule. Thank you for listening and thanks for the quality publication.

—Nancy Roma

Editor's Note:]\miot libero Courtney Schneider was named a first-team Daktronics and third-team American Volleyball Coaches Association AVCA All-American in November.She already is the WWU career record holder in digs with 1,844 and ranks second in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC), just 164 short of the league record. Schneider, who was the NCAA Division II national leader in digs per game (7.66), was a unanimous pick as a GNAC all star as well as a first-team Daktronics and AVCA Pacific Region all-star.In November, sophomore Tiana Roma was a first-team choice to the ESPN The Magazine/ College Sports Information Directors of America College Division District 8 All-Academic Team. Schneider was a second-team pick.

Continuing a Legacy of Service

Bellingham, WA 98225-9199E-mail: president@wwu.edu

By Karen W. MorseUNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

Every January, when the U.S. Peace Corps listing of top participating col­leges and universities is published, I am reminded that the Western value of engagement is demonstrated in many ways by our alumni, students, faculty and staff. In the 2006 Peace Corps list­ing, Western is ranked fourth among medium-sized schools in the nation, based on the number of alumni cur­rently serving as volunteers.

Western students are continuing this tradition of service. College of Hu­manities and Social Sciences students alone annually contribute an average of 150,000 hours, working with more than 200 agencies in the region.

Western's Fairhaven College of Inter­disciplinary Studies, long recognized for its commitment to social responsi­bility, encourages student participation in a variety of formal and informal service programs.

Students participating in the College of Fine and Performing Arts Dance Makers program and M.O.T.ley Crew (Multicultural Outreach Tour) regularly bring cultural experiences to students in grades K through 5.

The College of Sciences and Technol­ogy, expanding its outreach to teachers and students, recently partnered with the American Museum of Radio and Electricity to enhance educational of­ferings for young students. The College also offers a Science and the univerCity public lecture series, part of an ongoing community outreach.

Distinguished faculty from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences participate in the Dean's Community Lecture Series, which is designed to showcase the breadth of topics in humanities and the behavioral and social sciences.

Several WWU College of Business and Economics students volunteer as seminar leaders for MoneySense, a fi­nancial literacy program. MoneySense was created by Alexa Volwiler ('06) in response to a challenge issued to Beta Alpha Psi honorary society members to develop a program that would help young people make informed finan­cial decisions. Now in its second year, MoneySense won first place in the Beta Alpha Psi National Best Practices Competition held this past summer in Washington, D.C.

Another notable recognition this year was the 2006 Naturalist of the Year Award presented by the Western

Society of Naturalists to Brian Bing­ham, a WWU Huxley College of the Environment professor and director of the Multicultural Initiatives in Marine Science Undergraduate Participation program at Shannon Point Marine Center. This program, funded by the National Science Foundation, has re­ceived a national Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Math and Engineering Mentoring.

Students enrolled in Western's Wood­ring College of Education participate in learning service programs and work on a variety of volunteer projects. As an example, Adam Johnson and Hardy VanRy and Woodring faculty mem­bers Jeff Stady, Duane Sisto and Ric Packard helped build a playground in Oak Harbor, Wash. Johnson served on a community steering committee that raised $90,000 for this project.

We are well represented by alumni volunteering at home and abroad through a myriad of programs that make our world a much better place.

I am very proud of the extent to which members of our Western fam­ily are engaged globally and in their communities. These efforts reflect a special kind of student and faculty and continue a long legacy at Western of service to others.

Feb. 16 Is Elizabeth Peratrovich Day in AlaskaLike other Native Americans, Elizabeth Peratrovich ('31) and her husband, Roy, felt the personal effects of discrimintion. In 1945, after they had spent many years educating and lobbying for reforms, an anti-discrimination ordinance they supported passed the House of Representatives in their home state of Alaska. The bill had been presented to the Legislature two years earlier but had failed to pass and still faced strong opposition in the Senate.

One church leader testifying before the Senate prophesied that it would take 30 to 100 years for Alaska Natives to reach equality. Elizabeth Peratrovich rose from the visitor's gallery and asked to be heard. "I would not have expected that I, who am barely out of savagery, would

have to remind gentlemen with five thousand years of recorded history behind them of our Bill of Rights," she said. She spoke quietly, with authority. The bill passed by a Senate vote of 11 to 5. Years later, former Alaska Governor Fran Ulmer would say that Peratrovich's voice had reduced prejudice to a whisper.

In 1988,30 years after her death, the Alaska State Legislature officially designated Feb. 16 as Elizabeth Peratrovich Day.

By Dee Johnson UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS

Last spring, WWU President Karen W. Morse began re-arranging her mid- November calendar, clearing her West Coast appointments and meetings and scheduling others on the East Coast.

She made plans then to be in New York on November 18 for a very special Metropolitan Opera debut.

It was the confirmation of her belief, stated more than 10 years earlier, that Aaron St. Clair Nicholson ('96) would have a starring role in a Metropolitan Opera performance.

She had seen him perform in student productions at Western, and she was there when he made his professional operatic debut as Figaro in the Tacoma Opera production of Rossini's II Barbiere di Siviglia.

President Morse invited Nicholson and members of his family to join her for breakfast the morning following that performance. She told him then that she would be watching his career.

"Aaron, when you have your debut at the Metropolitan, I will try to come." she said.

Nicholson and President Morse both remem­ber that she said when, not if.

A few months later, Nicholson received his bachelor of arts in music from Western. He was named as the Music Department's Outstanding Graduating Senior.

"1 kept President Morse apprised of my where­abouts," Nicholson says. He told her about his Metropolitan Opera debut as soon as the date for his performance as Schaunard in Pucinni's La Boheme was confirmed.

"1 knew she would be coming, and I knew there were some Western alumni who would be there," he says. "I knew Jessica Israels ('04) would be there. And of course my father, Bruce St. Nicholson ('84) and my wife Elaine (Tamaru)Nicholson ('96) would be there. But I didn't know that President Morse would be bringing other alumni with her. It was just an amazing experience to be able to perform at the Metropolitan Opera for friends and family and to be supported by them. I felt really honored and valued."

"This was a very big event. There was a lot of excitement about honoring one of our own at the Met," says Stephanie Bowers, Western's vice president for university advancement.

"Aaron did a fabulous job on stage. He also invited us backstage—an experi­ence in itself," Bowers says. "We traipsed through the guard system, and then he came out of his dressing room and gave President Morse this great big hug.

^ WINDOW ON WESTERN --------------------------------------------------

"After the performance, we went across the street for dinner at Cafe Fiorello. Aaron introduced himself to everyone in the party and spent time talking with everyone. There were about 15 alumni who responded to President Morse's in­vitation to attend the opera, plus a few of us who came out from Bellingham, and about 25 family members and friends who also came especially to see Aaron's performance."

Nicholson discounts any suggestion that his career has been exceptional. "I just want to enjoy myself, meet good people and do good work," he says. "Opera speaks to me on several different levels. It's dance. It's theatre. It's music. It's art. I feel honored to be able to perform."

"I'm very proud of the many successes our graduates have," President Morse says. "One of the most rewarding aspects of being at Western is having oppor­tunities to share in some of these successes. It was thrilling, for example, to see one of our students performing at the Met. Aaron glowed. He looked like he

was enjoying himself. He is a talented performer, gifted musically and as an actor. Aaron is also a warm, generous person," she says. "Well," she adds, "he is a Western graduate. Hopefully we had something to do with that."

Nicholson says setting goals and working to­ward them one by one is what has defined him as an artist. "My father impressed upon me that the process of how you reach your goals is really who you are."

In 1998, Nicholson started a musical theater workshop in Binghamton, N.Y. His schedule is demanding—he tours about nine months out of the year—and he says the workshops, which are held each summer for youths ages 12 through 18, "help me stay connected to what is important. They are not about business or money, but about performing, creating art and having a good time." Students are selected by audition. So far, none have been turned away.

The workshops are hosted at the University of Binghamton by the Department of Music and Continuing Education and Outreach. The pro­

gram is being expanded in 2007 to include an over­night schedule so students from a larger geographical area can participate.

Western's Jim Lortz, associate professor of theatre arts, served this past sum­mer as the workshop's guest director.

Nicholson's awards include the Richmond F. Gold Career Grant, the Karl Muller Performance Award, the Seattle Opera Career Incentive Award and the Sullivan Foundation Award. He received a master of music degree in opera from the University of Binghamton.

Nicholson performed a benefit concert at Western last spring honoring Virginia Hunter. Hunter, who taught voice as an adjunct member of WWU's music faculty from 1989 to 2006, was Nicholson's voice instructor in high school and at Western.

mOpera Houses SKouM Be Grateful to Western

Audiences and critics are riot shy in praising the operatic talent Erin Wall (’98) brings to her performances.

The Calgary Herald says "she delivers the kind of vocal thrills possible only to those kissed by the divine."

In Chicago, The Daily Southtown reported that Wall showed such "delicacy and superb vocal passion that she almost stopped the show, moving the audience to wild bravos and thunderous applause."

The Bellingham Herald, writing about her benefit recital in December, declared that "Opera houses throughout the world should be grateful to Western Washington University."

The understated Opera Magazine says simply that she is "destined to go far."

Wall has performed with major opera companies in Europe, Canada and the United States. Her awards and career grants include membership in the Lyric Opera of Chicago's Center for American Artists, an ARIA Award, a Richard Tucker Award and a Sara Tucker Study Grant.

Her December recital benefited the Bellingham Festival of Music.

Wall presented a benefit concert at Western in May 2005 honoring her voice teacher, WWU adjunct professor Virginia Hunter. Proceeds were used to establish a vocal performance scholarship in Virginia Hunter's name.

Met Brings Heidi Grant Murphy Performance to Movie Theaters

Heidi Grant Murphy ('87) is performing in one of six operas the Metropolitan Opera is bringing to select movie theaters this year. She is a featured performer in Puccini's It Trittico, which will be broadcast to theaters on April 28 at 1:30 p.m. EST.

A winner of the Metropolitan Opera's Young Artist Development Program, Murphy made her Metropolitan Opera debut in the 1989 produc­tion of Strauss' Die Frau ohne Schatten. She has performed with many of the world's finest opera companies and symphony orchestras.

Murphy has been a featured guest on NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered and A&E's Breakfast with the Arts, She received a WWU Distinguished Alumni Award in October 2005.

Six Metropolitan Opera performances are being broadcast live into select movie theaters equipped with high definition screens and surround sound. Loca­tion and ticket information is available at www.metoperafamily.org/metopera. The April 28II Trittico matinee performance will also be broadcast over the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network.

This is the first season that Metropolitan Opera performances have been broadcast to movie theaters. The first Metropolitan Opera radio broadcast aired Christmas Day 1931.

Renewing Connections To

Chris Abbott ('97), a private investment manager for Lehman Brothers in New York, attended Aaron Nicholson's Metropolitan Opera debut. "My father shared a table with Dr. Morse at a Battle in Seattle event and brought her up to date on what I'm doing," Abbott says. "When Aaron's debut was announced. Dr. Morse was nice enough to extend a personal invitation to me to participate in this celebration." Abbott says he appreciated the opportunity to talk with President Morse and to meet other alumni in the New York area. "It gave me a little more sense of wanting to reconnect with Western. When I'm on the West Coast, 1 will plan to swing by the campus."

When Heidi Johnson ('95) and her husband Michael Hill ('97) received an invitation to attend Aaron Nicholson's Metropolitan Opera debut, they were happy to accept. "It's always wonderful to go to the Met, but this per­formance was very special," Johnson says. "I played flute in the pit when Nicholson performed in Western's production of La Boheme. It was great to see him perform again and to be back in touch with Western."

As an undergraduate, Johnson was interested in both music and East Asian studies. She began working with professor Kathleen Tomlonovic~a "Western treasure" she calls her—and decided to major in East Asian Studies. She moved to New York 10 years ago to work at the China Institute, a non­profit dedicated to promoting Chinese art, culture and languages. She is now the program officer for Expanding East Asian Studies, a grant-funded program at Columbia University. Hill is also at Columbia University, where he is finishing his doctorate in Chinese Literature.

Stephanie Bowers, vice president for university advancement, notes that while the majority of WWU alumni live on the West Coast, Western is well represented by alumni in every state. "1 talked with several alumni in New York about how they might be more engaged with Western," she says. "We're putting plans together to help alumni connect with students and other alumni all over the country, whether in person or virtually."

Cassandra Baddeley Receives Milken Family Foundation AwardCassandra Baddeley ('01), a fifth grade teacher at Seattle’s Thurgood Marshall Elementary School, tells her students at the beginning of the year what they're going to achieve by the end of the year.

"They don't believe me," she says, "but I make it clear that Tm going to help them and, if they just listen and do what I ask, they will achieve much more than they expected. I haven’t had any students who weren't able to feel successful by the end of the year."

The goals she sets are individualized. "I would never think that what was right for one student was right for another. You have to know your students, form a relationship. You get to know what is just a little bit out of their reach so you can help them achieve it."

Baddeley always knew she wanted to be a teacher. Still, when she came to Western, she was unsure of her goal. "I don’t think I believed in myself

at the time, but I had great professors. I had professors who really believed in me,” she says.

Baddeley has lived up to their expectations. On Oct. 4, during a school assembly, she was presented with a prestigious Milken Family Foundation Award honoring her ability to instill confidence and motivate students. The award includes a $25,000 honorarium.

The presentation caused some excitement—students knew something special was happening when cameras and reporters showed up for their school assembly—but Baddeley says things quickly settled down to normal. "We're about business. We went back to class and the first thing my kids said was, 'Now, what's for homework?"'

Celebrating Campus MemoriesCampus School Reunion

August 25 to 26 — Were you a stu­dent, faculty member or student teacher at Western's Campus School? If so, you will want to return in August for a very special Campus School Reunion.

Generations of children were educat­ed at Western's Campus School, which opened in 1901 to provide practicum experience for teachers in training. The Campus School moved from Old Main to the bell-tower section of what is now Miller Hall in 1942. Education majors since 1967, when the school was closed, have done their practicums in area schools.

Western's Woodring College of Edu­cation, in partnership with the WWU Alumni Association and Wilson Librar­ies, has been collecting materials for a Whatcom Museum of History and Art Campus School Experience exhibit. The exhibit will run from June 10, 2007 to January 6, 2008 and will include oral and written memories, photographs, student work, curriculum materials and any other memorabilia associated with the school.

For information about events that are planned, contact Carole Morris, Woodring College of Education, (360) 650-4419 or carole.morris@wwu.edu.

To offer memories or donate items— it isn't too late—contact Tamara Belts, Western Libraries Special Collections, (360) 650-3193 or tamara.belts@wwu. edu. Items may be donated to Western's Special Collections or loaned to the Whatcom Museum of History and Art specifically for the exhibit.

Former classmates Dalene Perrigo ('56) and Liz Coward ('56J share memories during the 2006 Golden Vikings Reunion.

Golden Vikings Reunion

August 23 to 26— If you graduated in 1957 or earlier, you are invited to come back to campus for Western's annual Golden Vikings Reunion, scheduled this year concurrently with the Campus School Reunion. Edens Hall will be the focal point for many social events, a setting that will bring back memories as you spend time reminiscing with classmates and new friends.

You'll have opportunities to attend educational seminars, meet with Presi­dent Karen W. Morse, take a guided tour of the Outdoor Sculpture Collection, enjoy a Summer Stock production, take in a planetarium show and find out what's happening in Western classrooms.

Watch for your special invitation this summer or contact Western's Alumni Association. Call (360) 650-3353 or (800) 676-6885 or email alumni® wwu.edu.

Gilman and Dietrich Return to CampusRoger Gilman and Bill Dietrich both received undergraduate degrees from Fairhaven College in 1973. Both returned to Western's campus this year.

Roger Gilman

Roger Gilman welcomed the oppor­tunity to return to Western as the new dean of Fairhaven College of Interdis­ciplinary Studies.

"It's very rare to get the opportunity to go home again," he says. "Having received a wonderful education at Fairhaven, I am thrilled to come back and help build on the College's great reputation."“Gilman has extensive experience m interdisciplinary studies. He has lec­tured at numerous universities, both in the United States and abroad, and has been recognized with several awards in teaching, service and research. While at Northeastern Illinois University, he collaborated on the invention of a new method of teaching research ethics across the curriculum. He also devel­oped a pre-law advising program.

Like other Fairhaven students, Gil­man's undergraduate experience was writing intensive, and his interest in writing has continued. He is the former poetry editor of The Chicago Review. Currently, he is working on a book titled The Ecology of Value.

After receiving a bachelor's degree with honors from Fairhaven, Gilman continued his studies at the University of Chicago, earning a master's degree in the philosophy of science and a doctor­ate in philosophy. Before returning to Western, he served as associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Northeastern Illinois University.

Gilman succeeds Ron Riggins, who served as dean at Fairhaven College from 2002 to 2006 and as acting dean from 2000 to 2002. Riggins also served as interim dean from 1993 to 1994. He joined the Western faculty in 1977.

Bill Dietrich, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author, says returning to Western "is a great fit for me personally. It would be rewarding to inspire a stu­dent to become a science writer."

Dietrich has joined the faculty of Western's Huxley College of the Environment. He is teaching an en­vironmental journalism class and also is serving as advisor to The Planet magazine._____ ____-

The Planet, created by students at Huxley College and now supported by the University, had not yet been launched when Dietrich was an un­dergraduate. He did write for Western's Klipsun magazine and says it was one of the "most useful things I did in college."

Dietrich was part of the Seattle Times team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1990 for coverage of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. He also covered the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.

In 1992, Dietrich published his first nonfiction book, "The Final Forest," which was the culmination of his re­porting about the spotted owl and the old growth forest debate. His second book, "Northwest Passage," is an envi­ronmental and cultural history of the Columbia River.

He achieved a lifelong goal to publish a novel with the 1998 release of "Ice Reich," a World War II bio-terrorism thriller.

Dietrich continues to write part time for the Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Magazine and is working on his seventh novel. He graduated from Fairhaven College with a bachelor's degree in journalism and was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University from 1987 to 1988.

WERE YOU A RUNNING START STUDENT AT WESTERN?

If so, Martin Hickman, a reporter for The Western Front, would like to talk with you. To reach Hickman, please call (206) 335-4760 or email martinl77@juno.com.
