Students in Western’s Higginson Hall dorm rushed from the dining room last month to escape a raging fire in the “goldfish bowl” lounge. There were no injuries. According to Security Director Robert Peterson, fire broke out in the downstairs lounge about 5:30 p.m. March 14, destroying most of the room and causing an estimated $50,000 damage. Two students who were playing pool at Higginson noticed flames pouring out of a window and alerted campus security and the Bellingham Fire De partment. Peterson credited Thomas j. Freitag and Paul j. Alexander, who both live on campus, with promptly alerting his department and local firemen.

The money, part of a U.S. District Court settlement involving the White Stag Corp., of Portland, was earmarked for organizations, corporations and institutions with programs to benefit the public. Accepting the check from Kenneth A. Wagner (left), local representative of the Probation Office, are Dr. Robert Collier, dean of the College of Business and Economics, and Dr. Sam Kelly, dean of the Graduate School. Collier said his college will sponsor a two-year training program in cooperation with the Bureau of Business Research. ‘Sex Roles in Culture’ gains attention Depending on a student’s point of growth.

Women control the material aspects of life by deciding who farms what, who lives where, what property belongs to whom. Hopi men deal with the religious side of life, belonging to groups which carry out ceremonies, such as those related to rain, for example.
