A hollow copper figure with 354 acupuncture points left as tiny holes was used by the Chinese for medical training. The figure was covered with wax, then filled with water, which trickled out whenever a student hit the right spot with his needle. This figure is 700 to 1,000 years old and will be on display at the “China: 7,000 Years of Discovery” exhibit March 1 through August 31 at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle. VOL. 15, NO. 2 .

have a favorite story from early 19th-century United States history. It concerns a cartoon in the Times of London, depicting a British bobby urging a man to get off the streets at a very late hour and return toI his home. Replies the man, dressed in diplomatic attire, “Home, sir, I have no home. I am the American ambassador.” There is a strained analogy between quarters for the impoverished United States ambassador to the Court of St. James, and the Western Alumni Association. The improvement of our respective quarters reflects the improved prosperity and importance of both. In the beginning, the Alumni Office was a card file box in the Placement Bureau. The records noted the migration of teachers through their careers. With increased diversity at Western came more names—thus, more time involved in keeping track of people. A desk in the placement center became the sole repository for alumni records and, hence, the “alumni office” of its time. In the mid-sixties. Western gave serious thought to the matter of alumni, and a “real” office was assigned. It was located in the Campus School, prior to its being remodeled into Miller Hall, it had blackboards, a cloak room, and was dark and green. With the remodeling project to create Miller Hall, we moved to the Colorado Senator and presidential candidate Gary Hart didn’t miss ah opportunity to gather building that some know as Men's Residence Hall, others as the Education potential votes this fall when he made Western one stop on his presidential campaign swing.
