Hall of Fame: four more picked Four former athletes, three of whom earned NAIA All-America honors, have been named to the Western Washington University Athletic Hall of Fame. They are Mike Franza, Jack Nighbert, Walt Schilaty and Dave Weedman. The quartet joins 26 others in the elite group. Induction ceremonies took place at the Whatcom County Sports Person ality of the Year banquet on Feb. 2 at Bellingham’s Elks Club. Franza, a guard in basketball, received second-team NAIA AllAmerica recognition in 1973 as he led the Northwest in scoring with a 25.6 average. That spring he was picked to an NAIA all-star team which toured Israel. Named Whatcom County Sports Personality of the Year and WWU Athlete of the Year, Franza set 15 school records. He was a starter on the 1972 Viking team which had a best-ever 26-4 record and reached the quarterfinal round of the nJ|\)IA national tournament. A \ Nighbert, an outfielder in base ball, was a first-team NAIA AllAmerican as he helped Western finish fifth nationally in 1965. The Viking Athlete of the Year batted .304 that season and .382 in 1966, earning All-Evergreen Conference (Evco) honors both years. He also was an All-Evco guard in basketball. .'S*.- Rdsum^ / Spring 1981 'X. conrmsrt .t BY STEVE INGE / Director of Alumni Relations You probably didn’t know Arta Lawrence. She graduated from the Washington State Normal School at Bellingham in 1914 and spent a full professional life as a teacher and librarian. She taught at all levels, including college. She was born on July 16, 1890, and died on March 13, 1981. She was a special person to Western alumni. She was for many years a leader in the Alumni Association. She was determined that Western would have a sound alumni progratn and alumni association—which has been, in other times, a chancy proposition. This story may be more apocryphal than true, but it bears repeating in that it illustrates well the mettle of the woman. At dr. time in Western's history, a new president had been hired. He had a mission, which was to re-direct the energies of the college into a new and glorious future. Things and persons that bespoke a tie to a less glorious past were not wanted. Enter Arta Lawrence, aiong with other alumni who wished to convey their support to the new president. The president made it clear that not only was their support not sought, their presence was not welcome. Indeed, nothing would please him more than that they and all alumni leave the campus, never to return. Dismayed and disappointed, they departed. To Arta, the call to battle had been sounded, and she began to devise a strategy that would demonstrate that alumni were a part of the coliege and were not about to disappear. Arta began working on a special project—a reunion of the class of 1914. She wrote letters, she made phone calls, and she extended invitations. The appointed day arrived. Arta, with perhaps a dozen of her classmates, marched into the office of the astonished president and asked directions to where the reception was being held. Caught off guard, the president sent staff scurrying about to put together a luncheon and some other events. As a political strategist, Arta was quite skilled. In addition to being determined, Arta had standards of behavior and taste. I ran afoul of these on many occasions as I adjusted alumni programs to appeal to current alumni interests. On one occasion, she was so angry as to be unable to speak as she denounced “ . . . that ‘Ing’ person" to then President Flora. She became my barometer of tradition. After our initial skirmishes, we became friends, recognizing each other’s interest in Western and its future. She remained a strong supporter of Western^ the Alumni Association, The Western Foundation and iearning. Arta Lawrence served uncounted terms on the Western Alumni Board and was among the founders of The Western Foundation. She was honored by the Aiumni Association in 1967 as the recipient of its first Distinguished Service award. She is missed by all who knew her. □ WWU Alumni Association Board of Directors Officers: Shirley Moore 72, Olympia, president; Mike Kimmich 70, Bellingham, president elect: Bron Thompson 74, Anacortes, secretary-treasurer; Jane Garguile '61, Bellingham, executive-at-large #1; Gary Moore '63, Issaquah, executive-at-large #2; Hunter NIckell 74, Longview, executive-at-large #3; Mike Kirk '64, Bellingham, past president, ex-officio.

Rdsumd Vol. 12 [USPS 767-720] No. 3 Published in November, February, May and August and entered as second-class matter at the post office in Bellingham, Washington, by the Alumni Association of Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington 98225. ’50s reunion August 7 & 8 year ago, a group of alumni from the classes of ’54 and ’55 began discussing the idea of having a joint reunion. idea had some appeal and spread a bit further to the class of ’56. A plan for a three-class reunion evolved. By word of mouth, alumni from other years heard of the plan and asked to be included. The planning committee was quick to spot a trend and declared their event to be a reunion of all Westernites from the 1950s. If you haven’t received word of it yet, mark the date on the calendar. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday, August 7, with a wine and cheese reception in the Viking Union. Faculty from the fifties will be special guests. Later, taped sound of the fifties will provide a background for conversation, a little dancing and a late evening buffet supper. Housing is available on campus in North Edens. No curfew will be in effect! On Saturday, there will be a continental breakfast, a formal campus tour and an afternoon salmon barbecue, planned for newly remodeled Lakewood on Lake Whatcom. Reservation forms will soon be mailed to all graduates from the fifties. If yours doesn’t arrive, let the Alumni Office know. The response to this has been simply astounding, and we don’t want anyone to miss it. The cost of all this? The preliminary estimate is $22 per person for all meals; $27.50 for two nights’ lodging, single occupancy: $45 for two nights’ lodging, double occupancy: and $17.50 for a single night’s stay. (Housing rates are firm, while meal charges may be subject to some inflationary pressures.) □ A Hall of Fame (Continued from page 1) Schilaty is generally regarded as the Vikings’ greatest sprinter in track. He won the 100-meter dash at the United States regional meet in 1932 and qualified for the Olympic Trials. His clocking of The 10.7 seconds was only a tenth of a second slower than the existing Olympic record and still ranks third on the all-time Northwest small college list. Nicknamed “Mercury,” Schilaty won the 100- and 200-yard dashes at the Tri-Normal meets in 1932 and 1933, establishing league marks in both events. Weedman, a defensive end in football, is the only Western athlete ever drafted by the National Foot ball League, being picked in the 12th round of the 1968 draft by the Washington Redskins. He also was a second-team NAIA All-America choice and WWU Athlete of the Year. The Western Athletic Hall of Fame selection committee consisted of Dan Abshier, Skagit Valley Herald sports editor; Steve Ballard, Bellingham Herald sports editor; Jack Carver, Bellingham Herald newswriter and photographer: Haines Fay, news director of radio station KGMI; Lynda Goodrich, WWU women’s athletic director; Steve Inge, WWU alumni director; Steve Kurtz, WWU publications director; Boyde Long, WWU men’s athletic director; Paul Madison, WWU sports information director: Pat Rowe, KISM radio, and Dick Stark, station manager of KPUG radio. □ Founders to honor Western Class of ’31 Founders Club, Western’s annual gathering to honor the golden anniversary class, is scheduled for Thursday, June 12. The program will begin at 10:30 a.m. in the lounge of the Viking Union with a coffee hour reception. Luncheon will follow at noon, along with other special events. Invitations are being sent now to the Class of ’31 and all of the classes that preceded it. Persons who do not receive an announcement in the very near future should contact the Alumni Office. □ R^sum^ / Spring 1981 Donors: Western receives gifts U nrestricted gifts of property worth $1.24 million have impressed by their diligence and we’ve taken pride in the growth of been made to Western Washington University by donors in Bellingham and Yakima, ing to an announcement byaccordThe Western in Bellingham, which now is our permanent home.” Michael McCarrell, flanked by Grace Reamer, left, and Rhonda Legge.

Wheatley The Peace Corps recently updated us on the travels of 1977 grad Mark E. Wheatley. A tech nology and industrial arts educa tion graduate, Wheatley taught industrial arts at a junior high school in Forest Grove, Ore., for two years before joining the Peace Corps. Now he and his wife Kathryn, also a Peace Corps volunteer, live in the town of Santa Rosa de Copan in Honduras. He is assigned to a local junior high school where he helps train industrial arts shop teachers. Kathryn works at the regional office of adult education. For those who’d like to keep in touch, we suggest you write to the Wheatleys’ Washington residence at 11055 NE Wing Point Drive, Bainbridge Island. Mail should be forwarded. * * * Robert Maki You may have lost touch with 1962 grad Robert Maki, but it’s almost impossible to miss his work in the Pacific Northwest. The creator of some of this region’s most visible artworks, Maki earned his degree in industrial arts edu cation. Following two years of high school teaching, he earned a master of fine arts degree at the University of Washington. In 1973 his recognition as one of the country’s leading young sculptors was launched with com pletion of the Central Plaza sculpture at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to a story in the Walla Walla Union Bulletin. Maki’s piece, “E69,” was placed at the Seattle Center in 1973 and was followed by “Black Square” at Seattle Pacific University, “Center” and “Triangle” at the Portland Center for Visual Arts in 1974. “Trapezoid E” at Eugene’s Federal Office Building went up in 1975 and “Trapezoid Square” at The Evergreen State College in 1976. His works also have been placed at universities, state capital campuses and other locations throughout the country. Maki resides in Seattle. • . ★ ★ ★ << If Summer Session fee increase due Tech fares well Western’s industrial technology students also fared well, especially those with applied technical skills and liberal arts backgrounds.

Randall: resignation spurs search An illustrious 18-year coaching career came to a close for Chuck Randall, who announced his resig nation as men’s basketball coach at Western Washington University one week prior to the end of the 1980-81 season. Athletic Director Boyde Long is completing a search for a' replacement. Randall finished as the winningest hoop mentor in the school’s history, com piling a 274183 (.600) record. He will continue on at Western as a tenured asso ciate professor in the Physical Education Randall Department. j I [ The Vikings’ finest campaign under Randall came in 1971-72 when the team had a 26-4 mark and reached the quarterfinals of the NAIA national tournament. Randall earned NAIA Area I Coach of the Year honors for that accomplishment. He was accorded similar accolades on four occasions from the Evergreen Conference and three times from NAIA District I. The 54-year-old Randall suffered a serious heart attack during the 1974-75 campaign. He underwent open-heart surgery and returned to his coaching ano teaching duties after taking a year’s leave of absence. Randall also coached baseball four years at Western, directing the I [ ' Vikings to two national tournament appearances in 1964 and 1965 where they placed fifth and eighth, respectively. Randall’s off-court accomplish ments include inventing the SlamDunk basketball rim, founding the first basketball camp in the western United States and publishing a book. □ rf Goodbye Jo: Women cagers finish strong vercoming major obstacles, Two other key players for Sue Thomas (6.4 scoring average the Western women’s Western were senior center Judy and 7.3 rebounding average).

They opened the tourney with an 83-68 shellacking of LewisClark State College and then came back to edge Seattle University 8078 in the consolation final. There were numerous high lights for Western, which put together winning streaks of ten and eight games. They included a 76-^*^SH 61 victory over University of Idaho, which went on to win its second straight regional title; a 70-68 road win over Seattle, then ranked 14th nationally: and a 58-54 triumph over Division I arch-rival University of Washington. Rated 18th in the AIAW Division II national poll at season’s end, the Vikings also extended their home court victory string to 21, with 13 wins at Sam Carver Gymnasium. But success did not come easily for Western, which had graduated three first-stringers from last year’s 24-3 team. After getting off to a 1-3 start, it was learned that all-region guard Tamalyn Nigretto would miss the entire season due to a badly injured knee. Six games later her replacement, Jeannine Ewing, was sidelined with a similar injury. “We started slow, suffered those key injuries and wondered if we’d ever click,” Goodrich recalled. “But beating Idaho did a lot for our confidence, and from then on we just got better and better.” Playing a major role in that revival was All-America senior forward Jo Metzger, who averaged 21.7 points and 9.9 rebounds.

Obviously the tenure has changed at Western since 1956, and I know from a couple of visits to the campus that its composition has changed greatly, but I still detect the indomitable spirit that I always felt was necessary to attend school in such an “ideal climate.” My sincere congratulations to all of you who work on this news paper and are so diligent in your efforts to keep that fine school alive and well. — Brad Kenyon P.O.
