FALL/WINTER 2007 NEWS FOR ALUMNI & FRIENDS OF WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY VOL. 13, NO. 1 Songs Never Silenced By 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 WesternвЂ™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 grandfatherвЂ™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 вЂњBrother, Can You Spare a Dime?вЂќ made popular by Bing Crosby. The program will include a selection of songs written in the ghettos and concentration camps. Rarely do these songs address normal happeningsвЂ” 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 form a new dynamic. The music that evolved was a synthesis 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 W W U 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.

VOLLEYBALL TEAM DESERVES RECOGNITION I enjoyed reading the Spring/Summer 2006 edition of Window on Western.

Letters sometimes are edited for length. Continuing a Legacy of Service By Karen W. Morse UNIVERSITY 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. Point of VIEW T O W R I T E WWU President Karen W. Morse c/o Alumni Relations WWU, MS-9199 516 High Street Bellingham, WA 98225-9199 E-mail: [email protected] 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. WesternвЂ™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. Disting uished facult y from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences participate in the DeanвЂ™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 п¬Ѓnancial literacy program. MoneySense was created by Alexa Volwiler (вЂ™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 п¬Ѓ nancial 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 WesternвЂ™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 reп¬‚ect a special kind of student and faculty and continue a long legacy at Western of service to others.

FALL/WINTER 2007 9 WWU alumni and friends went backstage to congratulate Aaron St. Clair Nicholson after his debut performance at the Metropolitan Opera. Pictured here with New York alumni and friends are WWU President Karen W. Morse (left) and Stephanie Bowers, vice president for university advancement (right). Photo by Joe Morse Alumni Share in MetropolitanOpera Debut Celebration By Dee Johnson UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS Last spring, WWU President Karen W. Morse began re-arranging her midNovember 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 conп¬Ѓrmation of her belief, stated more than 10 years earlier, that Aaron St. Clair Nicholson (вЂ™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 RossiniвЂ™s Il 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. вЂњAaron, when you have your debut at the Metropolitan, I will try to come.вЂќ 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 DepartmentвЂ™s Outstanding Graduating Senior. вЂњI kept President Morse apprised of my whereabouts,вЂќ Nicholson says. He told her about his Metropolitan Opera debut as soon as the date for his performance as Schaunard in PucinniвЂ™s La BohГЁme was conп¬Ѓrmed. вЂњAfter the performance, we went across the street for dinner at CafГ© Fiorello. Aaron introduced himself to everyone in the party and spent time talking with everyone. There were about 15 alumni who responded to President MorseвЂ™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 AaronвЂ™s performance.вЂќ Nicholson discounts any suggestion that his career has been exceptional. вЂњI just want to enjoy myself, meet good people and do good work,вЂќ he says. вЂњOpera speaks to me on several different levels. ItвЂ™s dance. ItвЂ™s theatre. ItвЂ™s music. ItвЂ™s art. I feel honored to be able to perform.вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™m very proud of the many successes our graduates have,вЂќ President Morse says. вЂњOne 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,вЂќ she says. вЂњWell,вЂќ she adds, вЂњhe is a Western graduate. Hopefully we had something to do with that.вЂќ Nicholson says setting goals and working toward them one by one is what has deп¬Ѓ ned him as an artist. вЂњMy father impressed upon me that the process of how you reach your goals is really who you are.вЂќ In 1998, Nicholson started a musical theater workshop in Binghamton, N.Y. His schedule is demandingвЂ”he tours about nine months out of the yearвЂ”and he says the workshops, which are held each summer for youths ages 12 through 18, вЂњhelp me stay connected to what is important. They are not about business or money, but about performing, creating art and having a good time.вЂќ Students are selected by audition. So far, none have been turned away. вЂњI knew she would be coming, and I knew The workshops are hosted at the University of there were some Western alumni who would Binghamton by the Department of Music and President Morse presents Aaron St. Claire Nicholson ('96) with a be there,вЂќ he says. вЂњI knew Jessica Israels (вЂ�04) commemorative plaque.

And of course my father, Bruce gram is being expanded in 2007 to include an overSt. Nicholson (вЂ�84) and my wife Elaine (Tamaru) night schedule so students from a larger geographical area can participate. Nicholson (вЂ�96) would be there. But I didnвЂ™t know that President Morse would WesternвЂ™s Jim Lortz, associate professor of theatre arts, served this past sumbe bringing other alumni with her. It was just an amazing experience to be mer as the workshopвЂ™s guest director. able to perform at the Metropolitan Opera for friends and family and to be supported by them. I felt really honored and valued.вЂќ NicholsonвЂ™s awards include the Richmond F. Gold Career Grant, the Karl 10 вЂњThis was a very big event. There was a lot of excitement about honoring one of our own at the Met,вЂќ says Stephanie Bowers, WesternвЂ™s vice president for university advancement. 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. вЂњAaron did a fabulous job on stage. He also invited us backstageвЂ”an experience in itself,вЂќ Bowers says. вЂњWe traipsed through the guard system, and then he came out of his dressing room and gave President Morse this great big hug. Nicholson performed a beneп¬Ѓt concert at Western last spring honoring Virginia Hunter. Hunter, who taught voice as an adjunct member of WWUвЂ™s music faculty from 1989 to 2006, was NicholsonвЂ™s voice instructor in high school and at Western. Opera Houses Should Be Grateful to Western Met Brings Heidi Grant Murphy Performance to Movie Theaters Audiences and critics are not shy in praising the operatic talent Erin Wall ('98) brings to her performances. Heidi Grant Murphy (вЂ™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 PucciniвЂ™s Il Trittico, which will be broadcast to theaters on April 28 at 1:30 p.m. EST. 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 beneп¬Ѓt 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 beneп¬Ѓted the Bellingham Festival of Music. Wall presented a beneп¬Ѓt 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. A winner of the Metropolitan OperaвЂ™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 worldвЂ™s п¬Ѓ nest opera companies and symphony orchestras. Murphy has been a featured guest on NPRвЂ™s Morning Edition and All Things Considered and A&EвЂ™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 deп¬Ѓnition screens and surround sound. Location and ticket information is available at www.metoperafamily.org/metopera. The April 28 Il Trittico matinee performance will also be broadcast over the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network. This is the п¬Ѓrst season that Metropolitan Opera performances have been broadcast to movie theaters. The п¬Ѓrst Metropolitan Opera radio broadcast aired Christmas Day 1931. Renewing Connections To Western Chris Abbott (вЂ�97), a private investment manager for Lehman Brothers in New York, attended Aaron NicholsonвЂ™s Metropolitan Opera debut. вЂњMy father shared a table with Dr. Morse at a Battle in Seattle event and brought her up to date on what IвЂ™m doing," Abbott says. "When AaronвЂ™s debut was announced, Dr. Morse was nice enough to extend a personal invitation to me to participate in this celebration.вЂњ Abbott says he appreciated the opportunity to talk with President Morse and to meet other alumni in the New York area. вЂњIt gave me a little more sense of wanting to reconnect with Western. When IвЂ™m on the West Coast, I will plan to swing by the campus.вЂќ When Heidi Johnson (вЂ�95) and her husband Michael Hill (вЂ�97) received an invitation to attend Aaron NicholsonвЂ™s Metropolitan Opera debut, they were happy to accept. вЂњItвЂ™s always wonderful to go to the Met, but this performance was very special,вЂќ Johnson says. вЂњI played п¬‚ute in the pit when Nicholson performed in WesternвЂ™s production of La BohГЁme. It was great to see him perform again and to be back in touch with Western.вЂќ As an undergraduate, Johnson was interested in both music and East Asian studies. She began working with professor Kathleen TomlonovicвЂ”a вЂњWestern treasureвЂќ she calls herвЂ”and decided to major in East Asian Studies. She moved to New York 10 years ago to work at the China Institute, a nonproп¬Ѓt dedicated to promoting Chinese art, culture and languages. She is now the program ofп¬Ѓcer for Expanding East Asian Studies, a grant-funded program at Columbia University. Hill is also at Columbia University, where he is п¬Ѓnishing his doctorate in Chinese Literature. President Karen W. Morse enjoys a reception and dinner for WWU alumni and friends following Aaron St. Clair Nicholson's Metropolitan Opera debut. The dinner, held at CafГ© Fiorello, was arranged by Western's Alumni Association. 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. вЂњI talked with several alumni in New York about how they might be more engaged with Western,вЂќ she says. вЂњWeвЂ™re putting plans together to help alumni connect with students and other alumni all over the country, whether in person or virtually.вЂќ Photo by Joe Morse FALL/WINTER 2007 11 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Honor Roll of Donors IN APPRECIATION OF PRIVATE FINANCIAL SUPPORT вЂ“ 2005вЂ“2006 DEAN'S CIRCLE $500-999 Adelstein Sharpe and Serka Steven Albright Allegiant Air Leon and Elizabeth Alpaugh Alvord-Richardson Construction American Endowment Foundation Anonymous Daniel Baker Raina and Dean Ballard BankAmerica Foundation Dave Barnes Bellingham Athletic Club Inc.

I havenвЂ™t had any students who werenвЂ™t able to feel successful by the end of the year.вЂќ The goals she sets are individualized. вЂњI 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.вЂќ Baddeley always knew she wanted to be a teacher. Still, when she came to Western, she was unsure of her goal. вЂњI donвЂ™t think I believed in myself at the time, but I had great professors. I had professors who really believed in me,вЂќ 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 conп¬Ѓdence and motivate students. The award includes a $25,000 honorarium. The presentation caused some excitementвЂ”students knew something special was happening when cameras and reporters showed up for their school assemblyвЂ”but Baddeley says things quickly settled down to normal. вЂњWeвЂ™re about business. We went back to class and the п¬Ѓrst thing my kids said was, вЂ�Now, whatвЂ™s for homework?вЂ™вЂќ 18 Accent ACCENT on Alumni ON ALUMNI Gilman and Dietrich Return to Campus Roger Gilman and Bill Dietrich both received undergraduate degrees from Fairhaven College in 1973. Both returned to WesternвЂ™s campus this year. Photo of Sharon Wallace leading a kindergarten class (spring 1947). Photo credit: Jack Carver, courtesy of Whatcom Museum of History and Art Celebrating Campus Memories Campus School Reunion August 25 to 26 вЂ” 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. WesternвЂ™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 [email protected]. To offer memories or donate itemsвЂ” it isn't too late вЂ”contact Tamara Belts, Western Libraries Special Collections, (360) 650-3193 or tamara.belts@wwu. edu. Items may be donated to WesternвЂ™s Special Collections or loaned to the Whatcom Museum of History and Art speciп¬Ѓcally for the exhibit. Roger Gilman Roger Gilman welcomed the opportunity to return to Western as the new dean of Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies. вЂњItвЂ™s very rare to get the opportunity to go home again,вЂќ he says. вЂњHaving received a wonderful education at Fairhaven, I am thrilled to come back and help build on the CollegeвЂ™s great reputation.вЂќ Former classmates Dalene Perrigo ('56) and Liz Coward ('56) share memories during the 2006 Golden Vikings Reunion. Golden Vikings Reunion August 23 to 26 вЂ” 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 п¬Ѓ nd 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 (80 0) 676 -6885 or email alumni@ wwu.edu. Gilman has extensive experience in 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, GilmanвЂ™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 bachelorвЂ™s degree with honors from Fairhaven, Gilman continued his studies at the University of Chicago, earning a masterвЂ™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 Bill Dietrich, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author, says returning to Western "is a great п¬Ѓt for me personally. It would be rewarding to inspire a student to become a science writer." Dietrich has joined the facult y of WesternвЂ™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 WesternвЂ™s Klipsun magazine and says it was one of the вЂњmost useful things I did in college.вЂќ 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 п¬Ѓrst nonп¬Ѓction book, вЂњThe Final Forest,вЂќ which was the culmination of his reporting about the spotted owl and the old growth forest debate. His second book, вЂњNorthwest Passage,вЂќ is an environmental and cultural history of the Columbia River. He achieved a lifelong goal to publish a novel with the 1998 release of вЂњIce Reich,вЂќ a World War II bio-terrorism thriller. Dietrich continues to write part time for the Seattle Times Paciп¬Ѓc Northwest Magazine and is working on his seventh novel. He graduated from Fairhaven College with a bachelorвЂ™s degree in journalism and was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University from 1987 to 1988.
