TRAVEL INFORMATION: A map of the University of Washington campus and the surrounding University district will be sent to registrants with confirmation of registration. Airport Arrivals: The Seattle-Tacoma Airport, located 20 miles from the University of Washington, and 16 miles from downtown Seattle, is served by most major airlines. Transportation from the airport to downtown Seattle and the University district is available adjacent to the baggage area at the airport. Airport taxicab service to the University is approximately $10.00. In addition to taxicab service, Western Tours bus limousines depart at 20 minute intervals for the Olympic Hotel in downtown Seattle. Fare is $2.00 per person; the trip takes 20 minutes. From downtown, transportation to the University is available by taxicab (fare about $2.50) or by city bus routes No. 7 or No. 8, which head north on Third Avenue. City bus fare is 25 cents payable in exact change. The residence hall is a good ten minute walk from the nearest bus stop. Train Arrivals: Seattle is served by Amtrak and Burlington Northern, both of which arrive at the King Street Station in downtown Seattle. Transportation from the King Street Station is available by city bus (stops across the street) and by taxicab. (See above for fares and information.) Private Car: Interstate 5 is the major north-south freeway crossing Seattle. The University is located 15 blocks east of the N.E. 45th Street exit from 1-5. Interstate 90, the major east-west freeway, connects with 1-5. Freeway exits from both freeways are marked "University of Washington". Parking on campus is available for $1.50 per week. Permits may be obtained from the residence hall desk, or the conference registration desk. HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS: On campus housing arrangements have been made at Haggett Hall, a new high-rise residence hall with a view of Lake Washington and the campus. The residence hall is within 5 minutes walk of the Student Union Building or Kane Hall, where all conference activities will take place. Rooms are twin-bedded with bath common to several rooms. Meal service is not included in the arrangements. Room rates are $4.00 per person, per day for double occupancy, and $6.00 per day for single occupancy. To reserve a room in Haggett Hall, please complete the applicable section on the registration form. Housing reservations will be confirmed. Haggett Hall is equipped with ice-machines, softdrink and candy machines, laundry rooms, and recreation rooms with televisions, a piano, and ping-pong tables. Each floor has a small lounge where people may gather informally. In addition, there will be four small rooms (mini-meeting rooms) where people may gather privately upon advance arrangement with Edith Lundgren. Off campus housing is available in a number of nearby hotels and motels within walking distance of the con- 32 MARIO FALCAO ANN STOCKTON PAMELA VOKOLEK AMERICAN HARP JOURNAL
ference site. A list of hotels, their phone numbers, addresses, and room rates will be sent to participants if requested on the registration form. It is recommended that you make hotel reservations as soon as possible, as the Seattle hotels expect an increased volume of business because of Expo '74. MEALS: Meal service for people living on campus is most convenient in the Student Union Building. Food facilities are open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays. Facilities include a cafeteria for full course meals, and a grill for sandwich and salad meals. A list of campus food facilities, as well as other nearby restaurants, will be available at the residence hall, and at the conference registration desk. A large variety of restaurants offering American and international cuisine is within easy walk of the campus. RECREATION: The park-like University of Washington campus is 641 acres of gardens, trees, and buildings ranging in architectural styles from Tudor to modern. Adjacent to the campus is a 200 acre arboretum ideal for picnics, photography, and for amateur botanists who would welcome an opportunity to view a world-wide selection of plants that can live in this area. Of particular interest is the nature walk across Foster Island. Educational facilities of interest to the public include the Henry Art Gallery, the Museum of History and Industry, the Thomas Burke Memorial Washington State Museum specializing in the cultures of the Pacific Rim countries, and two large libraries whose facilities are open to conference participants and their families on presentation of a guest identification card (available at the registration desk). The media center at the Odegaard Library on campus offers pleasure or educational listening to tapes of music, plays, and a variety of subjects. Athletic facilities on campus include eleven tennis courts across the street from Haggett Hall, a canoe house on Lake Washington where canoes and paddles may be rented on an hourly basis, and the complete facilities of the Intramural Activities Building. Conference participants and their guests over 16 years of age are invited to make use of the Intramural Activities Building located a few minutes walk from the Student Union Building. The presentation of a guest identification card (available at the registration desk) will admit participants to use of all facilities for a fee of 50 cents per use. Indoor facilities include a swimming pool with outdoor sun deck, sauna, courts for handball, squash, badminton, weight-lifting rooms, roller skating floor, and other facilities. Outdoor facilities include 15 tennis courts, a 20-station golf driving range (50 cents per bucket), a jogging course, and numerous multipurpose fields. Recreational facilities in the Student Union Building include pool tables, televisions, bowling alleys, and pinball machines. These facilities are available upon SPRING/1974 presentation of a guest identification card, and some fees, where applicable. A REMINDER TO EACH CHAPTER Bring your Scrapbook to the Conference and display it for everyone's enjoyment at the CHAPTER RECIP ROCAL. ANOTHER REMINDER: The questions for the AHS Quiz will be based on material from the issues of the American Harp Journal, Fall 1972 through Spring 1974. Have you read these issues thoroughly? A THOUGHT: When you are packing your suitcase for the Conference, you will want to know that the average temperatures for the month of June in Seattle are a maximum of 69.9° and a minimum of 49.7°. A high of 94 ° and a low of 41 ° are record readings. The average rainfall for the month of June is 1.5 inches. Accumulations of 3. 9 inches and .13 inches are recorded extremes. Evenings are COOL, especially on the water. (Blake Island excursionists take note.) BLAKE ISLAND EXCURSION: The excursion to Blake Island is unique. It is exciting-a narrated boat trip through the Hiram Chittenden Locks, around Seattle's bustling harbor, and across beautiful Puget Sound to Blake Island Marine State Park. It is delicious--a wonderful dinner of salmon, baked in traditional Indian style and enjoyed in a rustic setting. It is fascinating--entertainment by Pacific Northwest Indians, performing authentic tribal dances. It is spectacular-no other word can describe the Seattle skyline at night as the boat returns to Pier 56. Don't miss this magnificent evening! HAGGETT HALL 33
