Editor’s Note2Editor’s NoteDear Alumni and Friends,I usually write this note close to the time WOU Magazine goes to press; in fact, it’s mostoften the last thing that gets written. But this time, it is really near our publication deadlineas I write this.The reason is that I have started, stalled, and then stopped writing at least four times. It’sjust mighty difficult to write what I have to say--because I have to say goodbye.A long time ago—in 1991 to be exact—I saidgoodbye to friends and family in Seattle and headed toOregon for my new job at WOU. I didn’t know a soul;which is probably why as I look at the new studentswho arrive on campus each fall, I can imagine howthey are feeling--alone and a little bewildered.I certainly felt that way when I parked my car formy first day at WOU and walked to my office in TheCottage. Just like the students must feel, I felt new andout of place. And there were the questions: What arethe expectations? Can I live up to them? Will I fit in?I missed my friends and family, too, just as studentsmust miss theirs.Now, all these years later, The Cottage is as familiarto me as my own home, and the other “residents” whoshare it with me have become my second family. Wecongratulate each other on our successes, stay late and work weekends to help with eachother’s events, and do a lot of proofreading, envelope stuffing and cleaning-up for eachother.We also pass around cold and flu germs, get irritated when someone leaves dirty dishesin the sink, and complain when it’s too hot or too cold in the office.These are the friends—the family—I’ll miss when I leave WOU at the end of December.These and the other incredible group of people I’ve met because of WOU: faculty, staff andstudents; alumni; parents; volunteer board members; and members of the community.And, though you and I may never have met, I’ll miss you as well. I’ll miss writingmagazine articles for you, writing notes to thank you for your support, and planningspecial events to recognize you.I’ll close now with that simple word that I’m having such a hard time saying, and that’s,goodbye.Leta EdwardsExecutive EditorMy Cottage family:(back row) RandyStockdale, Jan Carlson,Jenny Rettke, JimBirken, Maria Austin,Carole Orloff, SandyNewland; (frontrow) Cara Groshong,Andrew Wynings,Dionne Parks, (me),Roben Jack Larrison.On the coverSay it. Believe it. Experience it.WOU is on the Move! In the middle ofthe busy city, with traffic whizzing by, just afew words on a billboard tempt studentsto be on the move with Western OregonUniversity. This and other recruitment effortsare proving successful as record numbersof students are choosing WOU. Read aboutthis year’s enrollment profile on page three.Western Oregon University

On CampusWOU is on the move as student numbers continue to growSay it, believe it, and thenexperience it. Western OregonUniversity is on the move. Studentsare literally filling classroomsand residence halls on the WOUcampus this fall with a record 5,050students enrolled. They hail fromas far away as Ghana and as nearbyas Monmouth. Here is a profile ofWestern Oregon’s student body:• 40% are male and 60% are female,though men are gaining someground with a 42% count in thefreshman class.• 13% are from minority groups,the largest group being Latino.• Minorities comprise 20% of theentering freshman class.• Students are from all counties inOregon, with the largest groupfrom the mid-Willamette Valleyand the next largest group fromthe Portland metro area.• Out-of-state students comeprimarily from Washington,Alaska and Hawaii, but from asfar away as Minnesota, Ohio,New York and Connecticut.• 91% are undergraduate and 9%graduate students.• 52% of undergraduates are thefirst in their family to attendcollege.Western Oregon has outshone theOregon University System averagefor applications (WOU up 13%, OUSup 5.5%) and admitted students(WOU up 14.3%, OUS up 1.7%).Western’s international-studentpopulation continues to grow. Theuniversity welcomed 80 new studentsfrom China, England, Germany,Ghana, Japan, Norway, Saudi Arabiaand Taiwan. This brings the totalnumber of international students oncampus to 252.WOU offers online criminal justice degreeWhile WOU currently makesclasses in many divisionsavailable online, this is the firstprogram in which students cancomplete a bachelor of scienceor arts degree through distancelearning. The online initiative shouldespecially benefit already-working lawenforcement professionals lookingto enhance their careers, said TerryGingerich, associate professor anddepartment head of criminal justice.“Those in law enforcement andpublic service agencies, after theyenter the work force, find it’s hardfor them to get back to college,”Gingerich said. “And the demandfor education in the criminal justicesystem has increased, so there’s agreat need for this.”Beyond general educationrequirements, the program entails 72credits of core and elective courses.It’s possible for students to earn theirdegree in two years.Western joins Southern OregonUniversity and Portland StateUniversity in offering an onlinedegree program in criminal justicerelatededucation.Gingerich and others have beenconsidering online offerings for thepast five years. The need stems froma push for professional status in lawenforcement, criminal justice andemergency services. “When I enteredlaw enforcement in the 1960s, it wasunusual for an individual to havea college degree,” he said. “When Iretired with the Los Angeles CountySheriff’s Department (in 1996) itwasn’t unusual for employees to havemaster’s degrees.”“The first step for many towardpromotion is a college degree,”Gingerich said. “It also expands theirunderstanding of the world aroundthem, and more agencies are nowlooking at degrees as hiring criteria.”The program should be particularlyhelpful to students already apart of the law enforcement workforce, Gingerich said, noting hisown experience. It took him eightyears to earn a bachelor’s degreeand another five for a master’s whileworking as an officer. “On a numberof occasions, I had to be at the sceneof a traffic accident or an arrest andcouldn’t leave work until my classhad already started,” he said. “Or Iwould sign up for a class and missa week of school because of a longcourt case. I had to drop out severaltimes, and that’s not uncommon formany police officers.”by Craig Coleman, Itemizer-Observer3On CampusMagazine • November 2007

WOU will bepartnering with the HKLB team todevelop, coordinate, implement andevaluate a national demonstrationprogram for establishing a coordinatedschool health approach toaddressing the needs of studentswith asthma. The HKLB partnershipis an effort to help local schools andcommunities form partnerships andreduce physical, social and emotionalbarriers to learning. It beginswith a local Healthy Kids Learn BetterTeam and reaches youth througheight components of coordinatedschool health.Over the next year, health educationspecialists will help facilitatestatewide professional developmentand joint technical assistance andresources for selected demonstrationschools in coordination withthe Oregon Asthma Program. Aspart of the project, Linda Stonecipher,Health and Physical Educationdivision chair, will oversee theformal evaluation of the AsthmaFriendly Schools initiative fundedby the Centers for Disease Controland being conducted by the PacificResearch Group.The Asthma Friendly Schoolgrant is one of several local projectsthat faculty members in the Divisionof Health and Physical Educationare pursuing as part of their commitmentto promoting healthycommunities. “Because nearly ninepercent of children in the UnitedStates have asthma, it is importantthat schools in Oregon are able toimplement best practices to meetthe needs of this growing populationof students,” Stonecipher said.College of Education has accreditation reviewThe National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)and the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC)conducted a thorough review of WOU College of Education programs Oct.13-17. They examined more than 450 online exhibitsas well as hundreds of hard-copy exhibits. Theyalso conducted more than 385 interviews ofstudents, teacher candidates,faculty and staff, as wellas many of the college’sschool partners.Both review teamsgave the college veryfavorable preliminaryratings. Formalaccreditation actionwill take place in themonths to come.Speech communication major undergoesname changeIn fall 2007, the speech communication program became communicationstudies.The change came, in part, because many students didn’t understandwhat the speech communication major was, thinking it involved givingcountless speeches or even studying speech pathology, say communicationfaculty. Changing the major to communication studies broadens the scopeof the major to appeal to a larger cross-section of students. “The new nameaccurately reflects the content of the major; that it is not just about speeches,”Molly Mayhead, professor of communication studies, explained.In addition to a new name, communication studies will incorporateadditional classes this year, including communication and event planning,communication and social change, and crisis management. “These newclasses, in conjunction with the name change and our usual course offerings,make us one of the top programs in the Northwest,” Mayhead said.1940s Tea A fundraiser to benefit Gentle HouseIn honor of Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, come and enjoy a deliciouslunch with your friends or co-workers and listen to 1940s music.

Western Oregonjoins these prestigious institutionsand 27 others as participants in theCarnegie Corporation’s LearningNetwork. By invitation, institutionsjoin this group because of theirnational reputation for excellence inteacher-education programs.The Learning Network,supported by Carnegie, theAnnenberg Foundation and theFord Foundation, focuses onsharing ideas and innovations thatare on the cutting-edge of teacherpreparation. The vision is that thesewill become principles that will beused to improve teacher educationthroughout the United States.Western Oregon’s groundbreakingwork in connectingteaching and learning has helpedto place it among this elite group.According to the College ofEducation’s conceptual framework,this connection first must besuccessful between WOU facultyand student teachers. Then, asthese candidates themselves beginto teach, it is measured in how welltheir students learn.Throughout the year, membersof the Learning Network shareinformation primarily throughelectronic mediums. Once ayear, they meet in person at aconference sponsored by theCarnegie, Annenberg and FordFoundations.

Faculty & StaffAn American Professor in ChinaCommunication Studies Professor Emily Plecrecounts her recent visit6Faculty & StaffPreludeHow can an American universityprofessor visiting China forthe first time absorb the ancientand modern, the old and new, thetraditional and the changing natureof Chinese culture and civilization?Is it possible for her to know Chinaonly from the fragments floatingacross the Pacific Ocean to home?Is it possible to know China onlyfrom the media images and articlesfiltered through an Americanlens? And which China might sheknow? Would it be the China Ihave experienced in Beijing andShanghai? Yes and no.To know China from U.S.media is to know only howthe U.S. media – including itscorporate and government interests– understands China. According toU.S. media: China is labor; China ismanufacturing; China is communist;China is increasingly capitalist;China is dangerous; China is Other;China is non-threatening; China isinternational partner.To know China from experienceis to make friends, to affirm mutualcommitments to learning and tocultural connection, to learn aboutChinese culture from those wholive and shape it, and to become astudent ofthe countryrather than atourist in it.I lookforward tobecominga studentof China,a friendto my Chinese colleagues,and an adviser to Chinesestudents at WOU.PDX – PEKWe flew into a new cityface-lifted from the ancient empire.Still known to my airline ticketas Peking, the city that will hostthe 2008 Olympic Games appearsagainst a pale blue sky.

Alternative Break in South AmericaReflections on service in Peru, by David AustinStudentsTeam leader, David Austin, and youngbeneficiary of his group’s efforts.Ducks purchased by the AlternativeBreak team get a new home at thePeruvian orphanage. Ducks andchickens become food for the orphans,as well as for the village children whocome daily to the orphanage for lunch.As seven students, we started ayear ago in the hopes of gettingto Peru to do service through theAlternative Break program. Alongthe way, we made plans, raised morethan $18,000 in support, recruitedtwo faculty as advisors, and aftermore than six months, ourplane touched down in thecity of the Incas, the ancientcapital of Cusco, nestledhigh (11,000 ft above sealevel) in the Andes.We had unimaginablelife-altering experienceswhile we worked in anorphanage in a small villagein the Sacred Valley of theIncas, building simple pensfor ducks and chickensthat we purchased, puttingup soccer goal posts, andinteracting with the children. Mostimportant, there were along the way,countless small moments wherewe came to see life from the eyes ofothers. In the Catholic orphanagea mother lived with her daughter;both had been hit by a drunk driver.Both of them had serious leg injurieswhich kept them from walking.Everyday we would pick them upand bring them outside to enjoy thesunshine, while we enjoyed theircheerfulness—each of us received anabundance of hugsand smiles fromthese two grateful,teary-eyed natives.There is no way todescribe the degreeof love and affectionthat we receivedfrom those children,the nuns—thepeople of Peru. Wewere received likecelebrities, like wewere giving themsomething that farexceeded any value. We had noidea that six months of trying toaccomplish full-time studies (theaverage credit load for the groupwas 17) and raise money throughevery conceivable idea that we had,Senior, Alyssa Eppersonreads with Peruvian girl,recovering from an accident.basically giving everything that wecould in the hope that it would beenough, that we’d raise what weneeded. We could have had no ideathat we would be rewarded with farmore than what we had given.We were able to taste cuy, orbaked guinea pig, and alpacasteak, and Peruvian twists on suchfamiliars as pizza and hamburgers.We got to see their most belovedand exciting festival, Inti Raymi,and watch Inca-dressed revelers anddancers pass close to our hostel formore than three days. One nightwe attended a concert in the plaza,with tens of thousands of peoplecrowding around. We were able tomake it right down in front of thestage, and the Peruvians pulled usup closer and took our hands andmade us dance. The lead singersin this enormous concert saw us,serenaded some girls in our group,and television cameras focused onus at least half a dozen times.There is no better way than to saywe were embraced by the nation of11StudentsMagazine • November 2007continued on page 12

We saw such stunning sightsas Machu Picchu; scaled WaynaPicchu, the giant mountain behindthe ruined city; and trekked throughthe cloud forest nearby to waterfallsand down rivers, and basked in localhot springs.But the most rewarding eventshad to do with the children. It wasmore than enough to produce tearsto be taken by the hand by thesechildren without parents, withoutalmost any possessions, and to behugged by them, to have them singto us and dance with us—to havethem receive us like we were angels,to love us like we were family.The day we left there was hardlya dry eye among us—walking awayfrom that little place with little onesthat had so little of anything, andyet they had amazed us with whatthey could share, with what we weregiven—we were all changed, we wereall better people with a greater graspon those things that produce realhappiness in this world.Each of us plans to go back, tobask in that warmth and love againand to help others come to see and tofeel as we did. None of us had workedso hard to accomplish something aswe did raising the money to go toPeru—there are too many stressedoutmoments to remember—but inthe end, our objective of changinglives was fulfilled, and yet, ironically,the lives we’d changed the mostactually ended up being our own.- David Austin is a senior, majoring incommunication studies.Back row left to right: WOU staff adviser,Gary Dukes; WOU students Craig Lockhart,David Austin.

The halls are alive with the sound of studentsArbuthnot Hall houses studentsonce again.In 1962 excitement filled thehalls as over 150 womenbecame residents in the newArbuthnot Hall. Forty-five yearslater, that same excitement isfound once again as students,after many years absent, havemoved back into what is knownaffectionately as “Arby.”Arbuthnot Hall, named afterKatherine Arbuthnot, a popularsocial science teacher from 1913-1947, was built in 1962 due tothe demand for more women’shousing. Arby was known for itsyearly community Easter egg hunts,candle-lighting ceremonies, andwater fights with the men of MaaskeHall. It was used as a dormitory untilthe early 70s and eventually becamepart of the Oregon Police Academy.But when the Academy left WOU’scampus, Arbuthnot fell silent.For the past few years, theOffice of University Residenceshad received feedback fromupperclassmen stating thatthey would like to have moreopportunities for single rooms.Previously, the upper-class residencehalls, including Gentle, Butler andArbor Park, only offered living spacewith three or four roommates. So,according to Tina Fuchs, dean ofstudents and judicial affairs, twoopen houses were held to showArbuthnot Hall rooms as is: no cabletelevision, no telephone and only awireless internet connection. Therooms in Arbuthnot were “virtuallyunchanged” Fuchs said. Even so, shesaid there was a “big response for theretro rooms.”In the fall of 2007, 73 studentsmoved into Arbuthnot and intotheir own rooms. Even though therooms hadn’t changed much, oneMagazine • November 20072007thing has: Arbuthnot now housesmen as well as women. Men live onthe first and third floors and womenon the second floor, making Arbythe first residence hall to house moremen than women.But do students miss theamenities some of the otherresidence halls have? With the nearuniversal use of cell phones and thewireless internet connection, moststudents discover they aren’t missinganything but gaining what the otherhalls don’t have to the same extent:a sense of community. “Becauseyou share a lounge with cableTV, and a bathroom, it helps youform a community,” says HeatherShields, junior elementary educationmajor and Arbuthnot Hall residentassistant. “Residents are excited andinvested in thiscommunity.”NoahCheek, alsoan ArbuthnotRA and seniorcommunicationstudies major,concurred withthe communityfeel. “There is alot of excitementto use thisThings haven’t changed much in Arby since the 1960s.Arbuthnot resident assistants,senior, Noah Cheek and junior,Heather Shields.Studentsbuilding again,” he said, “and it isa great opportunity to create newtraditions.”With the number of studentsexpected to rise in the next few years,Fuchs will need to look beyondArbuthnot to build more residencehalls. “This year alone,” Fuchs noted,“there was a 15 percent increase infirst-year students and six percentincrease in upperclassmen livingon campus.” But, she says, she willdefinitely keep in mind the student’sneeds for privacy as they contemplatefuture residence halls.In an age of high-tech isolationism,it can be easy for students tobecome cut off from face-to-facecommunications, especially havingprivate rooms. But residents ofArbuthnot Hall have found theopposite, a great sense ofcommunity and camaraderiereminiscent of years past.- MSA13Students

CSI:MonmouthClasses in forensic scienceA crime has been committed,and now it’s up to the expertsto determine the who andhow of it. They’ll use evidenceas diverse as bullets, tire tracks,hair andbody fluidsto help solvethe mystery.14Chris Martinez and Kevin Dorris, students inapplications of forensic science, examine human hairsamples.These forensic experts have learned their trade througha challenging educational program in the physicalsciences, field experiences, and often internships with lawenforcement agencies like the FBI and State Police.At Western Oregon University, several educational options areoffered in the forensic sciences including chemistry major with aforensic chemistry option, forensic science minor for chemistrymajors, and forensic science minor for non-chemistry majors.It’s common for those who are in majors such as law enforcementand psychology to minor in forensic science.In instructor Tom Barnes’ applications of forensic science class,junior psychology major and forensics minor, Chris Martinez, saysshe wants to be a criminal profiler. “It’s understanding criminalminds, observing behavior and making judgments,” she explained.Senior law enforcement major, Kevin Dorris, worked with detectivesin the Beaverton Police Department over the summer helping toinvestigate suicides and car accidents, collect evidence and takefingerprints. He is minoring in forensic science. “Knowing moreabout this will help me in my work,” he said, as he examined a humanhair under a microscope.Western Oregon University

prepare students for a real-life game of “Clue”Barnes concurs with Dorris. “The smarterour customers are when they bring in thesamples, the better,” he said, referring to theagencies that use the Oregon State PoliceMetro Forensics Laboratory, where he isthe director. “They also understand thelimitations of what can be done.”Barnes travels to Monmouth fromPortland once a week to teach. “I like toteach, but it also gives me a feel for futureemployees.” About six Western Oregonstudents do internships in the metro forensicslab each year.Western Oregon’s programs in the naturalsciences have a reputation for being tough.They also are recognized for turning outexceptionally well-prepared graduates whoscore high on national exams and go onto careers in medicine, nursing and otherprofessions requiring expertise in chemistryand biology, like forensic science.“It’s a tough program—hard,” ArleneCourtney, professor of chemistry, said. “Welose about half of the students who thinkthey want to major in chemistry with a forensic option in thegeneral chemistry classes.”If chemistry majors wanting to study forensic scienceemake it through the introductory chemistry classes andprerequisite calculus-level math classes, there are advancedchemistry and microbiology classes to tackle, as well asclasses like communication in the legal field and cell biology.Finally, majors and minors come together in forensicscience classes, like applications of forensic science, principlesof forensic investigation, and criminal procedure. In theseclasses they practice skills such as analysis of glass fracturesand fragments, blood stains, fingerprints, body hair, andbullet trajectories.Chemistry/forensic sciencesenior, StephanieKuehner, gets helpfrom instructorTom Barnes inidentifying thetype of humanhair that’smounted on aslide.“It’s understanding criminal minds, observingbehavior and making judgments.”Chris Martinez, junior psychology major/forensic science minor15Some students in Barnes’ class, like Kevin Dorris, will beon the scene of accidents and crimes analyzing clues; others,like chemistry/forensics major, Heather Powells, will do theirwork each day in the laboratory. Courtney says that whenshe talks to students interested in the chemistry/forensicsprogram, she wants them to be realistic about it. “I remindthem that when they get their degree, they’re a chemist,” shesaid. “It’s not as exciting and glitzy as they might be expecting.It’s the same kind of science day after day.”Courtney also tells students that they are trying to breakinto a very competitive field. At the same time, she pointsto the advantages of being in the Western Oregon program.“We’re known to OSP (Oregon State Police), who helpeddesign the program. We do lab practice with OSP in theirlabs. This doesn’t hurt our students when they go to apply forjobs.”- LEMagazine • November 2007Glass fractures and fragments can hold clues in crime investigating.Photo courtesy of the Oregon State Police Forensic Services Division.
