look at territorial justice

On September 19 the Washington State Supreme Court came to

the campus and heard, in open sessions, appeals to three criminal

convictions. These were actual cases, with defendants present and

lawyers making the arguments. This “traveling court” is part of the

courts policy of providing local access so the public can observe

the legal process at work.

Its been 125 years since the college was founded, and 124

years since Washington became a state. As the Supreme Court s visit

approached, Professor Lisa Johnson wondered about the court

of a century and a quarter ago. Who were the justices back then,

and how did their court differ from our modern court? What she

found is that social equity has come a long way, but some political

issues seem perpetual.

When Washington separated from the die road to promote open access to its proceedings. But the territorial judges traveled out of necessity. As late as 1883, territorial lawmakers observed as a practical reality that two-thirds of Washingtons counties had no judge whatsoever. As territorial government leaders noted, the immensity of the land itself led to “an evil” where “civil remedies [were] ... nought [sic], and crimes [could] ... MEMORIALS. only be punished by ...

18 arches autumn 2013 Consider Judge Turner, who in 1884 set out to hold court for the first time. On his second days travel from Spokane to reach Klickitat County, Turner decked himself out in attire that reflected the dignity of his office—including a Prince Albert coat, no less. But the rainy days travel on a buckboard soaked him through and through. Seemingly the whole population of Goldendale came out to greet diis first judge ever to hold court in the county. But his soggy and trail-worn self did not quite cut the impression he had hoped for. Just two months later, on a two-day jaunt to hold court in Yakima City—after traveling by ferry, tramway flatcar, and stagecoach—he was left snowbound by a storm for five weeks, unable to return home. Of course, the justices each had to travel annually to Olympia for Supreme Court business. Since each was required to live in his respective district, this trip also was considerably time-consuming. Have gavel, will travel Despite the irksomeness of the travel demands, Holding court on the campus Justice Turner served for four years on the Territo­ rial Supreme Court.

The Organic Act was the first territorial law, and it established the territorial government. It required, among other things, that laws must “embrace only one object, which Territory,” did not express the subject of the law, jury a person had to be a qualified elector and was to be expressed in the title.” Simply stated, so Judge Turner struck it down as inconsistent householder, which, according to Justice Turner, the title of a law had to reflect what the law was with the Organic Act. married women were not. about.

20 arches autumn 2013 At least one of the grand jurors who indicted Rumsey for riot was a married woman. We know from Harland that such a fact was fatal. The law enacted to extend the vote to women was void because of its defective title. Since women could not vote, they could not sit on a jury as a fact­ finder. At least one member of the grand jury that indicted Rumsey and his co-conspirators _ , ^ •/. had been a woman. Therefore Rumseys convic­ tion was reversed. D.A. Ronald had postponed the trials of the other murder defendants while awaiting the outcome of Rumseys appeal. When it came, he abandoned those cases altogether. By the high courts ruling, the procedural defects affecting the initial indictments all of the defendants had rotted the cases from the inside out. There was no way to move forward, especially in light of anti-Chinese sentiment.

Strict constructionism in action Did Turner’s decision shuck the spirit of the law in favor of the letter of the law? Therein, of course, lies an uneasy tension still present in our judicial systems. Consider Justice John P. Hoyt’s treatment of the same issue in his major­ ity opinion in the 1884 Roscncrantz v. Territory, The jury's "not guilty" finding in the first DeWitt Rumsey/Perry Bayne three years before Harland. For Justice Hoyt, murder case took less than 30 minutes. legislative intent was what mattered most, and legislative intent was clear. The intention of the territorial legislature was to grant women the right to vote. Essentially, Rosencrantz held that women could serve on juries, because the legislature had extended the right to vote to them.

WHAT WE DO: The Loggers of Cake Central

How sweet it is

Sure, Puget Sound is known for excellent alumni networking, but this place really does take the cake when it comes to keeping things in the Logger family. Since its founding Cake Central has employed 13 Puget Sound grads, and currently five of the total 11 employees on staff there are Loggers. ' You might call Cake Central Magazine the Vogue of cake fashion, its content profiling celebrity decorators and providing recipes, tutorials, and page after page of beautifully photographed edible art. We sat down with Heath Shaffer ’97, COO of Cake Central Media Corp., to talk about the business, which he co­ directs with his wife, Jackie Shaffer, the CEO. “Jackie created cakecentral.com in 2004,” Heath told us, “as an online forum for herself and a few fellow cake enthusiasts to discuss their projects.” i The site gained an immediate and unexpected following, and 1 now boasts more than 1 million new visitors each month. By 2009 the cake crowd was asking for more. Cake Central Magazine was born, the first issue’s layout hand-drawn on the Shaffers’ living room floor. Now a digital publication, Cake Central Magazine has a readership of more than 10,000. “The magazine is a different approach to presenting informa­ tion, to showcase the best work out there and highlight what’s possible in cake; we’ve raised the bar of possibility,” says Heath. Puget Sound students have been with the organization since the beginning. “It started out because we needed writers—our first internship program of three interns blew us away with their work.” In some cases diose internships turned into a kind-of audi­ tion for full-time employment. The Cake Central crew includes: Ben Bradley ’08, audience development manager. Prior to joining Cake Central, Ben worked in the Office of Career and Employment Services at Puget Sound. He was in the Business Leadership Program and Sigma Chi fraternity, and he worked the Puget Sound Fund “Link” phonathon. Ben continues to volun­ teer for the BLP and as assistant chapter advisor for Sigma Chi. Alyssa Christensen T2, associate editor. Alyssa was a copy­ writer for Seattle-based Zulily before joining the staff in June. At Puget Sound, English major Alyssa was poetry editor for Crosscur­ rents, a copy editor for Elements, and a KUPS DJ. Grace Heerman T3, associate editor. Also a UPS English major, Grace has been at Cake Central since June. At UPS she wrote for and edited The Trail, worked as a writing advisor and a peer advisor for first-year students, was on the 2011-12 PacRim trip, and was in Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Kari Vandraiss T3, associate editor. Kari was an English major, an Arches intern, wrote for The Trail, and was a member of the Alpha Phi fraternity for women and the Panhellenic Ex­ ecutive Council.

Hie canvas bodies, wax-impregnated waterproofing, solid brass hardware, and leather straps of these products sold under the Frost River label—a name taken from an adventurous paddling circuit in the Minnesotan Boundary Waters—stick out like black dots on white paper. The path leading Chris to the ownership of Frost River, a company employing IS people and manu­ facturing more than 200 products, was anything but predictable. At the start of his career, many potential employers found his major in business and minor in physics an odd blend. While building his credentials to apply for an M.B.A. program, Chris took an internship at Banner Engineering, a large electronics manufacturing firm with 800 employees in Minneapolis. What started out as a three-month arrangement stretched into a 13-year position, and the computer know-how Chris brought to the company at a time when the Internet was exploding eventually elevated him to the role of marketing director. “Turns out business and physics was a very good background for working with a high-tech company,” he says. Marriage and family (three daughters) folded into his time at Banner, but in 2007, when his anes­ thesiologist wife was offered a job in her childhood town of Duluth, the family moved and Chris went A couple of Frost River products: canvas and fishing for new opportunities.

During the inspection, it was suggested that by thinking a little bigger than one be willing them to your machine there was a bargain to be netted in buying a business and a brand. Chris thought it over and children, and a tent big before long had himself a company. enough to stand up in Some people, including his wife, thought a measure of lunacy was at work here, but Chris wanted to challenge assumptions about traditional, American-made products. Although Frost River gear is stitched from super-sturdy materials and therefore more expensive to make, for the right applications—rucksacks, canoe packs, flight bags—Chris products are nearly indestructible. They are lifetime purchases that actually look better as they acquire the patina of use. Over the years, that makes them cheaper and greener than synthetic packs that will be landfilled in less than a decade of hard use. On the manufacturing side, Chris believed that fostering made-in-America craftsmanship over the sterile personality of offshore production was a powerful story. He hired back the experienced craftsmen who had previously assembled the Frost River packs and carried on the tradition of making the goods in a start-to-finish process rather than through assembly-line production. And he encouraged a team atmo­ sphere among his workers by treating them respectfully and with the attitude that “at the end of it all, life is mainly about the relationships we make.” Of course financial viability was still necessary for business success, and during the first few years Chris was not certain this boat would float. Gradually, though, through clever use of new-world marketing re­ sources such as forums, blogs, and Facebook, Frost River found audiences with whom old-world materials, durability, and production techniques resonated. The products found outlets around the country and in 25 countries. A few high-profile celebrities like Tom Hanks and Daniel Craig also brought a measure of distinction to Frost River by purchasing its products. Business has been good enough that Chris was able to buy a 12,000-square-foot building on Superior Street in Duluth. The 100-year-old former Minnesota Surplus Store houses the company’s production facilities and its new retail store, the decor of which, of course, reminds one of the golden age of global exploration. So Frost River is on the rise. If you try to define why, it might lead you to the conclusion that you can go back to the future. Or is that getting things completely backward? Maybe this is really a case of going forward to the past. —Andy Dappen P 15

During World E War II, the Latvian girls met in a German refugee camp, cn M.S.’64 (/> where their parents fell in love and made a plan to leave (D with the help of sponsors in the U.S. o Long way Ivonna was only 5 when she began the journey that brought her to the City of Destiny. Fleeing Latvia with her to Tacoma mother and grandmother, they wandered the countryside seeking shelter and eventually landed in the camp, where fthey lived for six years. She was 11 when the three boarded a ship bound for Ellis Island. Two weeks of domestic work in New York earned her mother enough money to buy train tickets to Tacoma. “I brought a small doll in a metal baby buggy. I still have it,” she said. Use and her father, whose sponsors had arranged separate travel, greeted them when their train pulled into Union Station on a September morn­ ing in 1950. That very afternoon, Ivonna’s mother enrolled her in school. Ivonna’s and Use’s families stayed for a few weeks at the Lutheran Hospice on Pacific Avenue (where Pacific Grill is now located) until they could find housing and work. “I think our parents got married at the hospice!” Ivonna said. Navigating a challenging background created a drive to succeed. The girl who repeated fifth grade because she didn’t yet speak English excelled in biology and chemistry at Puget Sound, studying with Professor of Biology Gordon Alcorn ’30. “I was in awe and a little intimidated by him at first,” she said. “But, after taking many classes—botany and field biology—with Gordon, I got to know him very well. He encouraged me to get my master’s degree when there weren’t many women in science programs. He said, ‘You have an inquisitive mind. It’d be a shame if you didn’t continue.’” He had a way of instilling in his students a love of nature, according to Ivonna, whose voice caught as she remembered her mentor. “He’d point out things most wouldn’t see. He’d lift up a leaf, show us a small, wild orchid underneath, and say, ‘Isn’t this beautiful!”’ Alcorn offered her a two-year teaching assistant position, which launched her career in education. She went on to become a professor of biology and chemistry and dean of sciences and mathematics at Tacoma Community College, retiring in 1998 after 29 years of service. Ivonna and classmate Larry Heggerness ’60 found a way to pay a lasting tribute to their professor by working with the university to designate the campus the Gordon Dee Alcorn Arboretum. They persuaded Howard Irwin ’50, president of The New York Botanical Garden and a former student of Alcorn’s, to speak at the 1976 dedication ceremony. Irwin presented Alcorn with the arboretum’s first gift, seeds from The New York Botanical Garden. “We wanted to do something that would be meaningful for him. With the help of his wife, Rowena, the dedication was a surprise for Gordon. He looked around the chapel and saw it filled with his students through the years, colleagues, and family. It was a favorite event of my life.” Ivonna has guided many events as a leader in the Pi Beta Phi fraternity, on the Puget Sound Alumni Council, the Northwest Trek Planning Committee, and the Tacoma Yacht Club Women’s Auxiliary, to name a few. She has returned to Latvia twice but says Tacoma is home. — Sandra Sarr

56 arches autumn 2013 ! ps Driving to college by Brian Doyle

The little towns where you got off at the first exit ostensibly for gas and coffee, but found yourself driving slowly under the towering arch of the elms on Main Street First Street Broad Street Elm Street, and noticing the leaves scuffling and dervishing in the silvery yawn of dawn, and slowly driving past a sleepy citizen thrashing his coat pockets for the key to open the diner the gas station the coffee shop, and you roll the window down for that extraordinary ordinary magical wet cold loamy metallic sweet redolent American scent, and you roll your window back up, but not all the way, because he who drives is king. All the other guys in the car are sound asleep making noises like old halting stuttering motors and you are not totally sure which United State you are in but you guess you might be halfway to school maybe closer. Its someone else’s turn to drive and you really should get gas but you keep driving through the town because just as you think you should stop for gas and coffee all the streetlights blink off except one which fizzles and stammers for a bit and then dies with a soft startled pop!, and for some reason this makes you keep driving. You cruise down a street of small shaggy wooden houses most of them sagging just a bit as comfortably as old college couches and it seems like every third house has a light on in the kitchen and if you drive slowly enough you will surely see a man in his bathrobe shuffling out for the newspaper which is not in the mailbox but on the second step of his porch because the paperboy threw it from his old bicycle without stopping and didn’t get any juice on the throw; and just before you turn back west again, there is the man, bending for the paper. His bathrobe is exactly like the painting of Josephs Coat of Many Colors in the Illustrated Bible for Children and you think of your mom and the way her long fingers lovingly flittered the pages and you would happily have sat wedged into her sweet powdery gentle smell for a thousand years but you grew up and went to college which is totally fine and good and great and the right thing; but still. At the edge of town you drive along gazing into the hills dense with fir and alder and oak and maple and there is a tattered mist in the folds and ripples of the woods and you hear the first cautious caw of a crow just as a state trooper goes by headed in the other direction. You watch him in your mirror and he is watching you in his and you have the usual flutter of trepidation but then he lifts his right hand just enough for you to see he is saying hey and not pull over, so you lift your hand also and signal hey and think confusedly for a few minutes about being American. To get back to the highway you have to pass slowly back through town under the elms on Main Street First Street Broad Street Elm Street, and this time half the storefronts have lights on, and as you go past the diner you see a young man in work boots holding the door open for an old woman in rubber boots, and somehow that puts you back on the highway, as your buddies sleep like rocks like stones like college students, and for the next few silent moments as you drive you are in the diner, eating two scrambled eggs with fried potatoes and bacon and toast, and the waitress with her hair pinned up like a bird’s nest gives you a whole pot of coffee, and a jar of honey shaped liked a bear, and when you ask for the newspapers she says something tart and wry to the cook, and a minute later she gives you not only today’s paper but the sports sections from the last two days, and on the radio very faintly you hear there will be snow by late afternoon, first flurries and then, along midnight, two to four inches, with winds up to 10 miles an hour from the southeast. News is next.
