Creasy, President c/o Dr. Ralph Smiley, Advisor Bloomsburg State College Department of Communications Studies Bloomsburg, PA 17815 Dear Mr. Creasy: In response to your letter of April 16, 1983, I regret that the national activities of Delta Kappa Alpha are, for all intents and purposes, inactive at this time. We do have a chapter at U.S.C. but even here our students are so busy with their studies and production activities that they have little time for "organization" type efforts. A number of alumni who might be expected to become involved in this type of activity have chosen to put their energy into the U.S.C. Cinema-Television Alumni Association. The work of this group is much more related to the new facilities to house the School of Cinema-Television now under constr~ction. I believe there is still a need for Delta Kappa Alpha and in time I hope that leadership will surface to build upon the foundation and traditions that do exist. Thank you for your interest.

  • NORM DICKS Alma Mater Comes of Age
    NORM DICKS ALMA MATER COMES OF AGE nsurprisingly, there’s a big purple W on Norm Dicks’ favorite windbreaker. He came of age at the University of Washington. And when he departed with a law Udegree in 1968 he landed a job as an aide to Warren G. Magnuson, the canny old lion of the United States Senate. A 1929 graduate of the UW Law School, “Maggie” surrounded himself with young Huskies and taught them how to mush. Dicks was a fast learner. He went on to serve 36 years in Congress, only once winning re-election with less than 58 percent of the vote. Pundits called him “Washington’s third senator.” Dicks’ years at the university are like bookends to the history of one of the most tumultuous decades in American history: The Sixties. “It was an incredible time to be a student at a major university,” Dicks remembers—especially on the day in 1961 when he watched John F. Kennedy stride toward Edmundson Pavilion to address the universi- ty’s centennial convocation. The young president spoke of the need for Americans to be, “above all else … united in recognizing the long and difficult days that lie ahead.” Kennedy’s words were tragically prescient. The struggle for civil rights and Ameri- ca’s escalating involvement in Vietnam stoked stu- dent activism. “In the spring of 1963, we rose up and fought to keep the bricks from being paved over in the ‘Quad’—the university’s historic main quadrangle,” Dicks remembers. “It was amazing— the first time we had really stood up for anything against the administration.” He was a member of the student Board of Control, which initiated an “Open Forum” for outdoor oratory on campus.

  • Appendix F of Volume V
    Volume V, Appendix F Neighborhood Profiles City of Spokane Comprehensive Plan Audubon/Downriver Audubon/Downriver - Days of Yore Local Native American tribes used the Spokane River on the west side of the neighborhood for fishing and winter camps for trading. On the east side of the neighborhood a thoroughfare crossed from springs located near Euclid Avenue and Maple Street to Indian Trail Road at Francis Avenue, carrying native people, trappers and early settlers between the large falls to the southeast and the Little Spokane River to the northwest. The natural springs in the area (now known as Drumheller Springs) were an important gathering place for at least one band of the Spokane Tribe; natives made annual trips to stay in lodges above the springs until the 1930s. Plants with edible roots, bulbs and berries grew here. Gridded street subdivisions later replaced the native trail, but the area around the springs was purchased by the Eastern Washington Historical Society and became protected conservation park land. Chief Garry, thought to be one of the first educated natives from the Pacific Northwest, returned from studies in what is now Manitoba in 1830 and taught agriculture and religion in a school near the mouth of the Little Spokane River. He established a second school in a longhouse near Drumheller Springs in the 1860s, which has the distinction of being the first school located within the city. In the 1880s, the springs provided clean water to Daniel M. Drumheller’s slaughterhouse and the growing city. Partners Frank P. Hogan and John A. Finch contributed to the growing neighborhood by donating Audubon Park in 1905 in exchange for the City providing landscaping, road and water improvements to the park and their nearby housing projects.

  • W.F. West Brings Children's Theatre to Community
    The Chronicle, Centralia/Chehalis, Wash., Thursday, Nov. 27, 2014 Life editor: Chantel Wilson Phone number: 807-8213 Life e-mail: [email protected] Pete Caster / [email protected] W.F. West freshman Madeleine Roy, who plays the lead role of Mulan, performs during a rehearsal for the school’s production of “Mulan” on Wednesday afternoon in Chehalis. The play will open on Friday, Dec. 5 at the high school. W.F. West Brings Children’s Theatre to Community By The Chronicle Actors and actresses will grace the stage of the W.F. West Theatre in December, bringing enter- tainment to children and families in the area with a production of Disney’s “Mulan.” The performance is one that students have been asking to do for a number of years, said Di- rector Brian Adams. The show is sure to entertain with its fill of good music and action. “Disney titles are always really good with name recognition, but I love ‘Mulan,’” Adams said. “I love the music of ‘Mulan’ ... I found a great script based on the movie and it was a good fit.” This year, 28 thespians will take on the pro- duction, a number that’s larger than normal. The plot line allows the cast to get creative, depicting a colorful culture. “Besides the music, I think what’s cool is the design of this show. It’s Chinese themed,” said Adams. He said the play will give the audience some- thing authentic to look forward to. The money raised during the production will go straight back into the program.
