EDITOR’Snote
Dear alumni and friends,
All around campus we have been saying it—and mispronouncing it—and
asking if we couldn’t find another word to use instead. Sesquicentennial.
It is the milestone of a university that was founded in 1856, just 50 years after
Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery reached the Pacific and three years
before Oregon was admitted to the union. It is the celebration of Western
Oregon University’s 150 years of providing access to and opportunity through
a college education. Sesquicentennial. It is the word you’ll
be hearing a lot in the coming year.
Founder’s Day, January 18, will mark the official
beginning of the celebration. From morning to evening
and into the next day, there will be activities around
campus, most of which will be open to alumni and friends
of WOU. The preliminary schedule for Founder’s Day
activities is located in this issue on page three. Please join
us then and throughout the year as we celebrate.
Check the WOU web site at www.wou.edu and click on
Sesquicentennial to follow Western’s history through the
years and to learn about events you might want to attend.
Lori and Leta, your WOU Magazine editorial team.
This issue we recognize our many alumni and friends
whose generosity helps keep WOU moving forward. Our
Honor Roll of donors begins on page nine. Thanks for all
you do for WOU!
We are always gratified when we mail a new issue of WOU Magazine and
your positive comments come back to us. Thank you very much for those;
they make us feel that the many hours of preparation have been worthwhile.
While you might believe that as executive editor I have everything to do
with the magazine’s success, I’m grateful to say that nowadays I have much less
to do with it. Gathering the editorial board, helping to plan the next issue,
writing copy, making sure that others get their copy in on time, taking and
selecting photos, coordinating with the designer and printer, all of this is the
responsibility of Lori Jordan Brown, managing editor and Western’s director of
alumni relations. Her attention to detail, energy, and ability to keep us all on
task are major contributors to the quality of WOU Magazine. Enjoy this issue.
Sincerely,
Leta Edwards,
Executive Editor
On the cover
Autumn, some would say, is the most beautiful time of
year on the Western Oregon University campus. At every
turn there is a photo in the making—or a painting. This
is another of the stunning images of the WOU campus
captured by photographer Dale Peterson. Peterson’s work
will appear in a coffee-table book, currently in production,
which will be offered for sale to alumni, students and friends
early in Western Oregon’s 2006 Sesquicentennial.

John Minahan, interim president
Dear Alumni and Friends,
It is a privilege to be back at Western after a short 15month retirement. I have spent 18 good years here, first as
Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, then as the
university’s Provost. During this time, as the university grew
and added numerous degree programs, it evolved into a
truly comprehensive school while maintaining its powerful
commitment to teacher education. I was proud to have
helped with some of these changes. So when I was asked to
come back as interim president to help address the pressing
financial issues facing WOU, it was easy to say “yes.”
Because I know Western and the Oregon University
System well, it has not been difficult, with the help of the
faculty, staff and students, to move quickly to address the
major short-term problems facing us in the areas of
enrollment and budget.
A number of initiatives are now underway to address enrollment. These
include reorganizing and redefining our admission efforts; hiring additional
recruiting staff; and securing the services of a most knowledgeable expert to
head a new deanship dedicated specifically to student recruitment,
admissions, retention and financial aid issues. We expect this renewed
admissions effort to yield significantly higher enrollment and retention rates
beginning with the fall 2006 academic year.
We have also been tightening our belts and will be cutting operating
expenses during the next 12 to 18 months to ensure budget stability. At the
same time, we must increase tuition revenues to levels that guarantee a
continuing balanced and stable budget for the long term.
Steps are also being taken to plan and secure funding for new construction
on campus.
A new student recreation center is being planned for the 2007-2009
biennium. Construction should begin late next year to remodel the soon-tobe-vacated Department of Public Safety, Standards and Training (Police
Academy) buildings for university use. State funding to undertake this project
has been recently secured.
Fund-raising activities for scholarships and other university support are
being accelerated as we enter our Sesquicentennial year in January and
celebrate our 150 years of service to Oregon. As you may already have learned,
plans for celebrating this milestone in WOU history are well underway. We
will be delighted to have you join in the celebration.
I want to thank our faculty, staff, students and the alumni who have
pitched in to help with the many initiatives that are underway to move
Western forward.
Sincerely,
John Minahan

The 26-year-old had just started her

“We always knew something like that

said. “It’s hard. Every facet of your

Q: What’s been your biggest challenge
since arriving on campus?
A: Finding the right balance between
studying and hanging out. I’m getting to
be self-disciplined. I review my lecture

routine so I don’t get behind. That way I
can go out and have fun when the
opportunity is there.
Q: Has your decision about college
influenced your siblings?
A: I have three younger siblings, and
they’re excited about this experience, but
they miss me. My brother is a junior in
high school and has been thinking
seriously about WOU. He came here with
me on move-in day.
Q: Have you declared a major?
A: Yes, elementary education. I’ve always
wanted to be a teacher because I’ve had
many influential teachers in my life.
Q: Will you pursue a master’s in
teaching?
A: Yes, right after I finish my B.A. That’s
the plan.
Q: Do you have a job in addition to
your studies?
A: Not yet. I have a work-study award, but
I haven’t had much time to look for a job.
Q: Were you awarded any scholarships?
A: I got a lot of scholarships. The Northwest
Women in Education gave me a great
scholarship and a bunch of books about
teaching.
Q: What do you miss most about
home?
A: The familiarity of it. Recognizing
people just walking down the street. I
also miss my car. I miss my family, of
course. It’s weird not seeing them every
day, but I’m not homesick.

ANNUALreport
HONOR ROLL
Western Oregon University Foundation
July1, 2004 – June 30, 2005
Dear Alumni and Friends,
We are pleased to acknowledge our donors in this 2004-05
annual report and to thank you all, most sincerely, for your
support of the students of Western Oregon University. As
tuition costs have continued to dramatically outpace the
overall inflation rate, your support has become even more
critical for many students in making their university education
possible and affordable.
The past several years have been challenging for the WOU
Foundation Board of Trustees. The investment performance of
the Foundation’s consolidated endowment fund was, not
surprisingly, impacted by the large downturn in the
investment market in 2002. The lowered market value of the
fund required the board to place a moratorium on endowment payout
until such time as it recovered. While we have not been able to use
endowed funds for scholarships during that time, be assured that we have
continued to fund scholarships through your donations to scholarship
funds and from unrestricted gifts to the foundation.
We are pleased to say that at a recent meeting of the Foundation Board,
the moratorium on endowment fund payouts was lifted. We will
immediately begin again to fund endowed scholarships, and it is our goal
to have the Foundation annual payout for scholarship support meet and
exceed our record 2001-02 levels in the months to come. What’s most
important to those of us who serve on the board is that we will be helping
many more WOU students realize their plans for a college education.
Of course, we are only the caretakers of the generous dollars you have
given in support of students, faculty and staff at Western Oregon University.
It is reassuring to chart the growth of your support; support you have
continued to give most generously despite today’s unsteady economy. An
indication of this can be seen in the growing number of those of you who
give at the President’s Club level each year—$1,000 and more.
As we near Western Oregon University’s Sesquicentennial in 2006, the
board plans to mount an important fund-raising effort to increase even
more significantly private support of this great institution. We look
forward to your help in this effort as we celebrate Western Oregon’s 150
years of educational access and opportunity.

ARTS
Art professors’ prints benefit
student scholarships
I
n October, Western Oregon’s art
faculty unveiled an innovative
project using their own talents to
raise money to support art student
scholarships. Each participating faculty
member created an intaglio (in-TAHL-yoh)
print to be sold for $95 unframed or
$150 framed. Nearly 50 prints have
been made; each is an original piece of
art.“This is an exceptional value for
this type of original print,” said
Rebecca McCannell, associate professor
of art.“In galleries, the same prints are
priced around $250, but we wanted to
try to keep the prices affordable to
encourage sales.”
This undertaking was no small task.
Each artist provided an original image
that they had either drawn directly or
photocopied onto a transparent piece
of photo-sensitive film. The film was
“Interlude” by Kim Hoffman,
professor of art
“Backyard Ruins” by Diane
Tarter, creative arts division
chair/professor of art
then exposed onto copper plates using
a vacuum frame and a powerful
ultraviolet light. To print the plate,
black or brown soy-based inks were
forced into the textured portions of the
plate. Each inked plate was then laid on
the bed of the intaglio press, and rollers
were passed across the plate, pressing
the softened paper down into all the
tiny inked recesses of the plate. To
make a second print, the inking process
had to be repeated.
“The reason behind this effort is
simple,” McCannell said,“it’s about
students.”
Each spring, the Art Department
reviews portfolio applications and
awards scholarships to a handful of the
top returning art majors. The awards,
generally $200 to $500 per student, are
to help defray art supply costs and to
honor students for exceptional work.
Over the years, the accounts that have
funded these awards have been
depleted. Rather than discontinue the
award, faculty chose to invest their time
and talent to raise money, allowing
them to continue honoring outstanding
art students.
The limited edition prints will
be available throughout the 2006
Sesquicentennial celebration and at the
student art show spring term. They are
also available for purchase on the art
department web site (www.wou.edu/las/
creativearts/art/facultyprintproject.htm)
and via e-mail mccannr@wou.edu.

Students’ work with NASA
may help make manned trip to Mars possible
A
lot of young people dream of
becoming an astronaut and
floating weightless in space. For
four Western Oregon University students
who are collaborating with NASA, it’s
nothing short of reality.
In 2002, when Bill Schoenfeld came
to Western, he brought with him
experience with NASA’s Space Grant
Program. A physics professor,
Schoenfeld wanted to encourage math
and physics students to apply what they
were learning to a tangible project.
In the spring of 2004, one of
Schoenfeld’s most dedicated and
enthusiastic students, Mandy Martin,
came to him looking for help finding
summer work. He had just the job for
her assisting a colleague at Oregon State
University. A few weeks later, Martin
met Marcia Whittaker-Fiamengo, an
OSU nuclear engineering student
working on her senior project.
Whittaker-Fiamengo introduced
Martin to the Reduced Gravity Student
Flight Opportunities Program based at
Johnson Space Center. The program
gives undergraduate student teams the
opportunity to research, design,
fabricate, fly and evaluate a reduced
gravity experiment. WhittakerFiamengo was leading a team forming
at OSU. The students who participate
follow much the same path as scientists
who develop experiments to conduct
in space.
Martin was hooked, and she
returned to Western Oregon to enlist
Schoenfeld to help her put together a
team to work with the students
WOU students Avery Cotton and Will Bowers test the Oregon team’s device.
NASA University Affairs Officer, Dr.Donn Sickorez, floats weightless in the background.
Whittaker-Fiamengo had already
recruited.
Assembling the team
Schoenfeld and Martin recruited
WOU students Will Bowers, Ron
Wessels and Avery Cotton to undertake
a microgravity experiment as part of a
NASA program called Microgravity
University. The students proposed a
Physics Feasibility Test of a Zero
Critically Rotating Fluidized Bed Space
Reactor to be tested in two phases: the
alpha phase to be tested by OSU and
the beta phase to be tested by Western
Oregon. The proposal was submitted in
October 2004. By December, they
learned it had been accepted, making
the combination WOU/OSU team one
of only 50 teams selected out of over
300 applicants. The other selected teams
read like a who’s who of elite American
colleges and universities: California
Institute of Technology, Carnegie
Mellon University, Dartmouth College,
Harvey Mudd College, Johns Hopkins
University, and The Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.
The project
The project consisted of two
components, research and outreach.
The challenge was to build an
experiment in 11 months that could be
tested on NASA’s “Weightless Wonder,”
a special plane used to obtain
weightlessness by performing 30 steep,
high-speed freefalls in close succession.
Dubbed the Vomit Comet, it is a vital
tool for providing a zero gravity

atmosphere for up to 25 seconds at a
time. Each team is given two flights,
with two team members on each flight
using every precious second to test and
evaluate their creation.
The Western Oregon team
collaborated with the four-person team
at Oregon State to build a rotating
fluidized reactor. The device can create
space between particles to optimize heat
transfer, imitating nuclear energy, which
is what NASA needs in order to provide
a continuous thrust to power a
spacecraft to Mars and back. A thrust
spacecraft cannot carry enough fuel to
power it between Earth and Mars;
instead it must rely on gravity and the
“slingshot effect” to plot a course for
most of the trip. If a constant source of
propulsion can be created, with the
ability to control throttling, it will
eliminate the problem of relying on a
short burst of propulsion from
traditional fuel for long-distance space
flight. Using the technology the
students worked on, a manned mission
to Mars could be completed in 80 days.
With current technology, that same trip
would take over eight months.
In addition to the challenge of
original research, each team is required
to perform extensive outreach to area
schools. Considering that three of the
four Western Oregon team members
are future teachers, this experience had
more than one practical application. As
part of the outreach program, team
members traveled extensively
throughout the Willamette Valley
during the 04-05 academic year giving
presentations at elementary, middle and
high schools. They worked to get
children excited about science,
technology, engineering and
mathematics using their project as a
physical example of what can be
accomplished with a solid
understanding of those disciplines.

Avery Cotton believes the experience
has given him examples and activities
that he can use in the classroom when
he becomes a teacher. “This is good
practice,” he said. Schoenfeld added,
“The variety of school outreach the
students proposed was among the most
innovative and well-planned ever seen
by the NASA review committee.”
The future doesn’t come cheap
Building the rotating fluidized
reactor apparatus cost over $20,000.
The equipment had to be custom
fabricated, and the team had to adhere
to strict regulations. Students were in
charge of raising all of the money for
their project. They received a $5,000
Space Grant from NASA. The Western
Oregon University Foundation granted
the team $1,000, and then-President
Conn committed $4,000 to the effort. The

at Johnson Space Center.
Their work is putting Western Oregon on the map, and now the
future teachers among them have an example of the successful
application of the subjects they will teach.

rest was raised through individual
donations and by grants that OSU had
received, as well as a donation by the Oregon
Space Grant Consortium, which took care of
the balance of the budget.
One small step for man
On July 10 Martin, accompanied by
three team members from OSU, left
Oregon in a student’s car, the trunk
laden with the 300-pound apparatus.
They were headed to Johnson Space
Center in Houston to receive flight crew
training and to put their apparatus
through a pre-flight testing phase.
A few days later the entire team was
assembled in Houston where the
students spent several days preparing
for the flight. The apparatus had to be
assembled and completed, and the
20
students had three days of pre-flight
training which included hours of
lectures on “everything to do with flying
at high altitude,” said Cotton. The team
was subjected to a test readiness review
where they had to explain to a panel
of experts the details about their
instrument. “It’s a very, very
sophisticated project,” said Schoenfeld,
who accompanied the team as the their
advisor. “NASA tries to make the
program as close as possible to a
professional, technical experience.”
Will Bowers described the actual
flight: “The plane came ‘over the top’,
and the loss of gravity kicked in. It was
the most amazing feeling I have ever
experienced. I just floated there, but
then I remembered we had an
experiment to do, so I went to work.”
“This was a much more difficult task
than I expected,” Cotton added.
“Working on the equipment was a
challenge in zero gravity. It was hard to
type on the keyboard and adjust
equipment.” In addition, the plane was
very loud, and the students were
wearing protective earplugs, so they
resorted to yelling and signing to each
other to communicate.
Equipment malfunctions caused the
actual experiment to not go as planned.
The students were able to videotape
several experiments that can be used in
their classroom outreach project. They
also collected data that is currently
being analyzed to be included in the
final report for NASA. The team plans
to send a DVD or taped copy of the
experiments to every school in Oregon.
And the chance to successfully
complete the experiment isn’t over yet.
The team can make adjustments and fly
the apparatus two more times. It will be
used again in the spring of 2006 when
team member Martin tests it, and a new
team will have the opportunity to test it
again in the future.
The Western Oregon students
spent over 1000 hours each on this
project, gaining hands-on expertise in
the sciences. “Their work is putting
Western Oregon on the map,”
Schoenfeld said, “and now the future
teachers among them have an example
of the successful application of the
subjects they will teach.”

Hurricane Katrina (continued from page 7)
The owners of the nursing home
had not evacuated staff and patients,
fearing the safety of some of the
more fragile individuals, like James’s
wife, Peggy. She’s bedridden with
Alzheimer’s disease.
Once the levees gave way, the
water had risen “eight or nine feet
in no time,” Martinez said. In 40
minutes, the water had nearly
reached the ceilings inside the
building.
Martinez strapped a life jacket
onto his wife. The two of them were
among the last to be whisked to safety
by community members in boats.
“They got 36 of us out,” Martinez
said, adding softly: “There were 34

trawl boat for several days. Because
of her condition, Peggy was taken to
a shelter and was separated from
family.
“She was lost from us for nine
days,” Lisa Guzman said. They
found her eventually—in San
Antonio. Because Peggy was unable
to speak, volunteers there were able
to identify her by her wedding band
and an e-mailed photograph. She’s
still in Texas, but safe.
Lisa Guzman said they left the
New Orleans area in a sort of
caravan. One of her relatives had
arranged a school bus to pick up
Martinez family members. Dozens
rendezvoused at a spot on an
interstate north of Lake
Ponchertrain and drove to Baton
Rouge, then Houston.
“It looked like a family reunion,”
Guzman said.
Lisa and Eric drove for two straight
days to Oregon. They were lucky,
Marc Martinez, Lisa’s father, said.
“There’s a lot of families out there
that don’t have anywhere to go,” he
said. “They’re still living in motels.”
Guzman said once she arrived in
Oregon she contacted Western
Oregon about enrollment. Not only
was she in time for the first week of
school, she’d be paying in-state as
opposed to out-of-state tuition.
“They (WOU officials) have been
awesome from the beginning,” Lisa
Guzman said.
She said they’ve been very
fortunate in settling in Oregon,
particularly because they had sold
their home before the flooding.
Last week, she said she’s heard
rumors that in three months they
might let people back into the
parish to salvage their belongings.
She doesn’t worry about that.
Everything—her diploma, her
books, Eric’s footballs—are gone.
She is still finding a few “interesting
things” in her car, like transcripts
and report cards.
She has been busy every day
trying to get her bank account
straightened out and searching for a
place for her grandmother to live.
As for her grandfather, he’ll
remain in Oregon, too. The
community he remembers doesn’t
exist anymore. He’ll never go back.
Neither will Lisa.
“I have to move on and start a
new life...I can’t wait for it to be
rebuilt,” she said.
“Some people may try to go back
and salvage what they had,” she said.
But “I’m an Oregonian now.”

W
estern is proud of its many
outstanding students and excellent
athletes. Many of these have
remarkable success both in the classroom and
on the field. “Howling About Our Wolves” is a
new series which will highlight student-athletes
who truly display the spirit of collegiate
athletics.
Western Oregon’s senior starting middle
linebacker, Jon Apgar, is a three-year letter
winner who, despite missing the final two
games last season, finished third on the team in
tackles with 62 and first in assisted tackles with
38. This season he is currently leading the
Wolves and the Great Northwest Athletic
Conference with 119 total tackles and has
recorded six sacks. Apgar is a strong candidate
for the all-conference team and will be
nominated for all-regional honors and a
possible spot in the Division II all-star game,
The Cactus Bowl.
Jon Apgar, senior starting middle linebacker, has a
3.56 GPA as a business major.

Howling about our Wolves
Zach Christopherson, defensive back, is
enrolled in the rigorous Honors Program.
Becky Barreau, number 81, was named to the ‘05 All-GNAC cross country academic team.
In addition to his success on the field,
Apgar holds a 3.56 GPA as a business
major with an economics minor. He has
been selected as a member of the AllGNAC academic team two years in a
row in addition to the 2004 Verizon AllDistrict Academic squad, which includes
players from the NCAA Div. II, III and
NAIA levels.
Zach Christopherson saw action at
defensive back and on special teams in
nine games last season as a red shirt
freshman, recording 27 total tackles.
One of his best performances came
against Willamette, a game in which he
made eight tackles, forced a fumble and
recovered two. This season Christopherson
has played in every game and recorded
29 tackles, two interceptions—including
a game-clinching interception in a
recent 39-35 victory over Humboldt
State, and a blocked kick. Christopherson
was a first-team All-Portland
Interscholastic League pick at both wide
receiver and defensive back as a senior at
Wilson High School. He also played in
the Oregon Bowl. Christopherson is a
pre-med/chemistry major with a
3.3 GPA and is enrolled in the rigorous
Honors Program.
Becky Myrold, sophomore forward
for Western Oregon’s women’s soccer
team, started in all 18 games she played
last season, leading the team in both
shots and shots on goal, tying for second
on the team with three goals scored. She
was named GNAC player of the week
once. Myrold’s career best effort so far
came in a 5-0 win over Southern Oregon
in which she scored two goals in the
game’s first eight minutes. This season
she has started in 15 games and has one
goal and two assists.
Myrold can hold her own in the
classroom as well, boasting a 3.89 GPA
as a biology major with aspirations of
becoming a wildlife conservationist.
She’s an All-GNAC academic team
selection in the making.
Rachel Barreau, a senior cross
country runner making a significant
comeback from an injury, finished 51 in
this year’s GNAC championships.
Married to Western Oregon alumnus
and current assistant cross country
coach at Portland State University, ’04
Matt Barreau, Rachel was recently
named to 2005 All-GNAC cross country
academic team with a 3.3 GPA as a
pre-education major.

Equipment gift from alumna
helps current track and field athletes
N
ikki Becker, a 1995 graduate, had been eyeing the javelins
in her garage for some time. She hadn’t thrown them
since her retirement from competition in 2000, but this
August she made it a priority to bring four of them, as well as
additional training equipment, to campus as a donation to the
Western Oregon track and field team.“I felt this was the place
those items could be reborn,” Becker said.“I figured an aspiring
athlete could use them.”
Her gifts have already aided the team. With the university
now competing in NCAA Division II athletics, the team has
grown since Becker was a student, and additional equipment
means more effective practice time for students. “Gifts like
Nikki’s not only help the athletes in terms of equipment, but
they show the connection that athletics brings to people over a
span of time. Track and field Head Coach Mike Johnson said,
“We look forward to connecting with many more of the
Western alumni who have been involved
in track and field.”
Gifts like Nikki’s not only help
the athletes in terms of
equipment, but they show the
connection that athletics
brings to people over a span
of time.

NCAA Division II championships in both the javelin and the heptathlon in 2004, and in 2005 she
was a finalist in the javelin and an all-American in the heptathlon; Head Coach Mike Johnson.

Becker is passionate about collegiate
athletics. “Athletics is an important
program. It motivates students who are
talented both academically and physically.
They can come to Western and compete
with the help of quality coaches who
bring out their abilities.”
“Western’s coaches are changing lives,”
Becker said, and that made her want to
contribute. “I believe a lot of alumni think
about giving, but life is busy, and they
forget. I had been thinking about this for
months, but one day I decided it was time
to take action, so I called the university.”
Becker said Western changed her
life and gave her a course to follow. She
is now the owner of Miss Fit Adventures
in Portland, a business specializing in
all-women outdoor adventures. “I’ve
been given so much by Western. I am
privileged and honored to be able to give
something back.”
