According to Dr. Seilo, American Indians in general and those of the Pacific Northwest in particular seem to have a high incidence of ear problems, although no definite reason for the condition has been established. The college clinic's project was initiated by Dr. Roger Barnhart, Bellingham ear, nose and throat specialist, who noted a large percentage of native Americans among his patients. The current program represents a coordinated effort to deal with the problem. Financial support for the program is provided by the Indian Health Service, a branch of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

Designed by architects Skillings and Corner of Seattle, the building was patterned after the Boston Public Library.

Although the building was completed, funds for its operation were not forthcoming from the legislature and it remained empty until 1899.

6 Intalco gives job experience to students

Although it doesn’t look like it, Intalco Aluminum Corporation’s Ferndale plant is a part of the Western campus. Cooperation between Intalco and the Economics and Business Department at Western provides students with practical experience which will be of value to them when they are ready to seek permanent employment. Each quarter of the calendar year, one student who is majoring in accounting at Western is permitted to participate in an intership at Intalco. There, he is introduced to the aluminum manufacturing process and is given an opportunity to observe all aspects of an industrial accounting department. The college and other accounting students also benefit, according to Dr. Robert T. Patton, an associate professor of economics and business who Is the campus coordinator of the internship program.
