Authorized Transcript
This interview was conducted with Joan (ôJanö) Hoppe Campbell at her home in Edmonds, Washington, on September 16th, 2005, her husband Philip Campbell is present and also makes some comments. The interviewer is Tamara Belts.
TB: Today is Friday, September 16th, 2005 and Iĺm here with Joan, she goes by Jan, Campbell. Sheĺs the daughter of Victor Hoppe. Weĺre going to do an oral history, kind of in two parts. The first thing weĺll talk about is the Campus School. She attended the Campus School. So, how did you happen to attend the Campus School?
JC: Because at that point, I had no choice. If you were involved through your parents in the Campus School, you just went to Campus School. But you had to register. Some people registered their kids at birth to be sure theyĺd get in to Campus School. But, being a faculty kid, you were automatically admitted to Campus School. That was your school.
TB: Okay, did anyone else in your family attend the Campus School and what were their names?
JC: Our kids. I only have one brother and he didnĺt go to Campus School. I canĺt remember why he didnĺt go to Campus School. Our own family, letĺs see, Nancy and Ginna and Tom and Rob. They all went to Campus School.
TB: Okay. What were the years and grades of your attendance?
JC: I went to a public school for three years, but then during my eight years at Campus School, we spent two years back in Michigan, when my father was getting his masterĺs degree at the University of Michigan. So, I went spasmodically K through 8, but I missed a couple years.
TB: And those must have been something like through the Twenties?
JC: Oh, letĺs see. I was born in 1917. Yes, it had to be. I graduated from high school in 1934. So, it had to be the late Twenties.
TB: Do you remember paying any fees? Any kind of tuition, especially?
JC: Did our kids pay fees (referring to Philip Campbell)? I donĺt think they did.
TB: Were there any fees to attend the Campus School? Tuition?
PC: No.
JC: I donĺt have any recollection of paying fees.
JC: Getting in was difficult, because there were so many people who wanted to get their kids into Campus School. Thatĺs why you had to sign up your children at birth.
TB: Where did you live when you attended the Campus School?
JC: 521 14th Street, on the south side.
TB: Do you know what you did for lunch? Did the school provide lunch or did you go home for lunch or bring a sack lunch?
JC: I think we carried our lunch.
TB: Do you remember any favorite classmates and can you name any of them?
JC: Favorite classmates at the Campus School? Letĺs see, thatĺs a long time ago. I canĺt think of anybody that I still [am in touch with].
TB: Thatĺs okay if you canĺt.
JC: Iĺm sure I can, but right now Iĺm blank.
TB: Thatĺs fine. Who were your favorite or most influential teachers?
JC: Well, Priscilla Kinsman was Kindergarten. Letĺs see.
TB: Do you remember what you liked about her?
JC: She was very sweet, very loving, charming, and a very good teacher, was perfect with little kids. She wasnĺt intimidating. I canĺt think of anyone special in the older grades. If I had thought about this ahead of time, but itĺs a long time ago.
TB: Thatĺs fine. Do you remember any of your student teachers? I know that one would be really hard.
JC: Thatĺs a tough one, yes, because we had so many. I mean, they were constantly changing, of course.
TB: How did you feel about that? Did it bother you?
JC: Not really, you got used to the fact that you were going to have several teachers. You were being observed and lots of observation, but that was just part of school for us.
TB: Okay. What were your favorite subjects or classroom activities?
JC: Oh, music, usually. Well, just literature, readingů
TB: Can you talk a little bit more about the music program they had there?
PC: May I interject something?
TB: Yes.
PC: I was under student teaching out at Meridian, Orpha McPherson was the director of student teachers. Orpha McPherson [was] back when I was in grade school, so she goes way back. You wouldnĺt remember her because she worked in directing the student teaching outside of the college. That name just came to me.
JC: Thatĺs true. Did you have student teachers?
PC: Yes, we did.
TB: So anything more about how the music program worked there? Did you go to a certain room or did the teacher come to you?
JC: As I recall, the teacher came to us. We just sang. I can still remember a lot of the songs I learned. We had a songbook and I can still sing. Want to hear me sing a couple?
TB: What were the names of them?
JC: I was kidding. I do remember some of the songs I learned though.
TB: OK, OK. Did you use regular textbooks, or what kind of learning materials do you remember that they might have used?
JC: Yes, we had regular textbooks.
TB: Do you remember what kind of grading system was in use during your attendance?
JC: Good old As, Bs and Cs.
TB: Do you remember any creative activities such as weaving, making things or that kind of thing that you might have done?
JC: Gee, I canĺt remember. We must have had some kind of art. Iĺm sure we had art. I never was terribly creative, soů
TB: Thatĺs fine.
PC: What about physical activities?
JC: We obviously had outside activities. Iĺm thinking of high school now, of course, it gets blendedůbasketball. We must have had organized games -- but not competitive.
TB: Backtracking a bit, what were your classes like? Were there a lot of student teachers? You kind of alluded to the observing; were the student teachers teaching lessons or parts of lessons?
JC: We almost always had somebody else in the room besides the master teacher. You got so observation wasnĺt any big deal, because you were observed so much, being at the Campus School. Of course, that was the purpose of the Campus School.
TB: So did you not really get away with anything then? I mean, you had all these people watching you. How could you really misbehave?
JC: Some kids managed to misbehave no matter what. Not me. I was the perfect child.
TB: Did you attend summer school at the Campus School?
JC: No. I never went to summer school.
TB: Do you remember some of the extra-curricular activities that you engaged in? What did you do at recess? Lunch time? Or what did you enjoy the most, games that you played?
JC: We just played a lot of the old games that everybody plays. You know ball games. It wasnĺt highly organized. We had a lot of free activity during recess rather than organized games, if I recall correctly.
TB: OK. Do you remember visiting the college itself?
JC: Campus School was in Old Main when I was there.
TB: Like going to the library or attending special assemblies orů? What was that like?
JC: We were always very aware we were a part of the college. We werenĺt separated at all. The main building was it. Thatĺs where everything was.
TB: Did you see the college students a lot or were you kind of isolated?
JC: Well, I did more because I had a father on the faculty. So I was more at home with the whole building. His office was way up on the top of Old Main, way up, third floor or whatever it was. He had a huge flight of stairs to go up and no elevator.
PC: The Campus School, itĺs not even there today, but it was built sometime, do you know what the time frame was?
TB: 1943, I think.
JC: Yes, right.
TB: Well it definitely had been a wing of Old Main.
JC: Yes, absolutely.
TB: Then at what grade level did you enter public school? Why did you transfer? What was the transition like?
JC: Well, I went to first, second and third, at Lowell School because that was just about two blocks from where we lived on 14th street. I canĺt remember now. Oh, golly I canĺt remember why I went toů One of those years we were back in Michigan. I skipped a grade. We had As and Bs. I mean there was 1A and 1B and 2A and 2B. Thatĺs been a long time ago.
TB: Oh, the grades. There were two grades.
JC: There was 1A and 2A.
TB: Okay.
JC: I skipped; I think it was the third one. I skipped two half grades that ended up I was a year ahead. So, I graduated from high school when I was barely seventeen.
TB: Okay. If you attended public school first, what was the transition like to Campus School for you?
JC: It wasnĺt that big a deal for me because I was familiar with the school. It was a little bit different being a faculty child. I canĺt remember if there was any great trauma. Besides, we had been back in Michigan for a year, so I had that transition. I went to a big old elementary school back there, in Kalamazoo.
TB: Please share any specific differences between public school and Campus School that especially affected you.
JC: Well, I know I was happier with the teachers I had at Campus than I was at Lowell School. I had some older teachers that were maybe strict disciplinarians. It was as if they didnĺt like kids very much -- you know -- that kind of teacher.
TB: All right, and then what further education did you pursue?
JC: I went to Western for three years.
PC: You went to high school at Fairhaven.
JC: Well, I went to high school at Fairhaven High School, yes.
TB: Fairhaven High School and then you went three years at Western.
JC: Three years at Western and two years at the UW [University of Washington].
TB: OK. If you later attended Western and majored in education, did you observe or student teach in the Campus School and what was that experience like?
JC: I must have. Iĺm sure I must have done my student teaching in Campus School. I canĺt even remember -- elementary. Well, it had to be in Campus School. I donĺt think I taught in a public school. I canĺt even remember whether we had teachers in the public schools or not. They must have student teachers, but I have no recollection of teaching in the public schools.
TB: Do you have any thoughts about how your attendance at the Campus School influenced your life or career?
JC: I think I probably had more music and art and literature, that sort of thing at Campus School than I probably might have gotten in the public school.
TB: Are you still in touch with any Campus School classmates?
JC: Am I? I donĺt think I am.
PC: Nancy. Nan used to go there.
JC: Well, Nan, she went to Campus School, Nan Ballard. She was the one who was secretary to theů
PC: Nancy Jane Smith was her name.
JC: Yes, it was Nancy Smith. She was Dr. Hawkĺs secretary; he was director of the Campus School. She was his secretary for several years, and she went to Campus School.
PC: And she lives right down the street.
JC: Well, Mary Ann Fisher, you talked to her, of course she was, yes. There were a lot of people of that vintage.
PC: Most of them have passed away.
JC: Yes, a lot of them have, thatĺs true.
TB: Do you have any Campus School memorabilia? Photographs, class publications, crafts, art work or anything?
JC: Just in my head, like the songs I remember.
TB: Do you just remember the names of the songs, like a title of the song?
JC: Oh, dear. We did learn a lot of songs. We had a lot of music.
TB: OK. Thatĺs fine.
PC: She sings a lot of them around the house here, but I donĺt understand them. Theyĺre very simple stuff.
JC: A lot of it was nonsense music. You know, it didnĺt have any great message, but it was a just a catchy tune and nonsense words. I donĺt think kids sing things like that anymore.
TB: Actually in the Twenties that was big to do that. Even some of the normal school yells were crazy. Do you have any other favorite memories of your Campus School days or any comments about questions that weĺve asked or things that you think we should ask other people?
PC: Since our children went to Campus School, sheĺs had a very close relationships with their teachers, perhaps more so than an ordinary mother of children would have. She had a close connection with the school while we were raising our kids, all of whom went to Campus School, at least up through the sixth-grade.
JC: Yes, thatĺs right. They went through sixth.
TB: Now, how did you happen to decide to have your kids go to the Campus School?
PC: It was her decision, basically. Her father was still teaching there.
TB: Oh, he was teaching there?
JC: Well, letĺs see. Thatĺs right, he was. He died when I was pregnant with our last son. So, three of our kids knew their grandfather.
TB: Tell me a little bit more about that; so you decided to have your kids go there because you went there and had a lot of good times?
JC: It was just the perfectly natural thing to do.
TB: What was your experience like as a parent?
JC: We enjoyed it. We had a lot of contact withůnot parent-teacher meetings, because we didnĺt have a parent-teacher association, but lots of occasions when parents were involved.
PC: I think parents were much more involved, if I may say so, those that had children there in Campus Schoolů
JC: The classes were smaller to begin with.
PC: There was a feeling of closeness there, I think, between the parent and the child, in that setting, than there might otherwise have been at a public school. The teachers were so well trained, that taught the children, and were so involved with the child individually. Their classes were small, 20 to 25, something like that. They kept the parents informed with reports on the child. Not only their ability to be a good studentů
JC: Academically.
PC: ůtheir personal lives, as they saw them in the school. It was a complete report; we used to get those all the time. That was something the public school teachers didnĺt have; those who had 35 kids or more in the class didnĺt have that opportunity to do that much research with the child and keep the parent brought into the picture.
TB: So, roughly, what span of years was that?
JC: Well, theyĺre nine years apart, I mean from the oldest one to the youngest one.
PC: 1951, when did Ginna start? Born in 1946. She started Kindergarten, did they have Kindergarten?
JC: Yes, oh yes. They all went to Kindergarten, K through 6. It was only sixth-grade, then they went toů
PC: Actual span of years, actual calendar years?
TB: Yes.
JC: Figure that one out; nine years apart.
PC: I think 1951 through 1965.
TB: OK. So, it sounds like your kids might not have had actual grades. Your children had the more narrative kinds of reports more than letter grades.
JC: They were going toward the narrative report, yes. And you had conferences.
PC: But they also had complete reports beyond that.
TB: Right, and so, as a parent you really appreciated that.
JC: Yes, lots of contact between teachers and parents.
TB: Now, do you know, what did your children do for lunch? Did you prepare lunch for them or did they have lunch up there?
JC: I think we made lunches, as I recall. They must have had a hot lunch program, but mostly our kids just brought lunch from home.
TB: OK, and then we already talked about this. You didnĺt pay any fees for your children?
JC: We donĺt have any recollection of paying fees.
PC: What is the question?
TB: There wasnĺt any tuition -- no tuition for your children?
PC: Not that I was aware of.
JC: You would have been aware of it.
TB: Anything else about your experience as a parent, with the Campus School, with your children? Any special memories?
PC: Well, we got a chance to observe the child in a different perspective, obviously than we would in our home environment.
JC: What do you mean by that?
PC: They responded differently in school in a way that we appreciated more than some of the activities they engaged in at home.
JC: Itĺs true. I remember one day Irene Elliott sayingů
PC: We had a daughter who was veryů
JC: Temperamental.
PC: Dramatic, something like her grandfather.
JC: Yes, she was very temperamental and emotional.
PC: But at school she wasů
JC: She was absolute perfection. I remember Irene Elliott saying, ôI can always tell if thereĺs something going on in the room that I should know about. I look at Ginnaĺs eyes. I can always tell by her big blue eyes if somebody was misbehaving, because she was sort of [a] monitor. She was absolute perfection at school.ö Irene Elliott said, ôWell, you donĺt want her to act the way she acts at home, do you?ö Well, actually thatĺs true, we didnĺt. Anyway, she was the actress.
PC: Thatĺs the thing that was so good about it, because the average public school teacher doesnĺt have the background that the teachers up at the Campus School had -- looking into the child as more than just outward appearance. They delved into their, I donĺt know how to express it, more intimately than they would have been looked at in the public school. We were afforded a type of education for those children that we did not feel we could have gotten at the public school. Not because the teachers werenĺt good, but they werenĺt as well trained in all the aspects of teaching and bringing children up as were the Campus School teachers. They went beyond the norm with training that the public school teacher never got.
JC: Well, they were master teachers.
PC: In those days you could teach after two or three years of college.
TB: So who are some other favorite teachers that you thought were really good teachers for your children? Like Miss Elliott?
JC: Irene Elliott, yes.
PC: Katherine Casanova.
JC: Letĺs see, Priscilla, was Priscilla Kinsman there whenů? Synva Nicol, she was first-grade. Some of the men, I donĺt remember.
PC: You got Irene Elliott, Katherine Casanova.
JC: Katherine Casanova, second-grade.
PC: Who were some of the men? There were a couple of men.
JC: I know.
TB: Punches? Anybody have Frank Punches?
JC: No. Why canĺt we remember the menĺs names?
TB: Mr. Mork?
JC: I think so, yes. That sounds familiar.
TB: I think he was fourth-grade or something like that.
JC: Yes, definitely.
JC: Campus School had sort of a family feeling. I mean, thereĺs a lot of continuity because most people, if they had their kids in Campus School, they sent all their kids to Campus School. I remember, Irene Elliot saying, ôYour faces donĺt look familiar, but your clothing certainly does.ö That was when she had kids that sheĺd had in previous years or two. This is Irene; she had a great sense of humor.
TB: Thatĺs a really good one. I hadnĺt heard that before.
JC: And thatĺs true. Sure, our kids wore the same clothes. Our girls were only two years apart. So, Iĺm sure that they wore the same clothes.
TB: OK, well, some of the other teachers.
PC: Irene Elliot, we mentioned her name. You have Katherine Casanova.
JC: The men are the ones I canĺt remember, except Mork.
PC: We got Mork here. I only recognize him from my knowledge of the school. Priscilla Kinsman, you got her already. Pearl Merriman, Pearl Merriman.
JC: Oh, yes. Yes, Pearl Merriman! I forgot, yes.
PC: Seems like I know these peopleů
JC: Of course, we had a different relationship because we knew a lot of the faculty. I mean, we were involved in faculty activities because of my dad. Youĺre using up time here.
TB: Thatĺs fine. Thatĺs just fine.
PC: Iĺll show you this later, if you want to see it.
TB: Now, any other comments about the Campus School?
JC: We often had dramatic things that we did, like for special events. I canĺt remember if it involved the lower grades or whether that was just the upper grades. They werenĺt exactly plays, but they were dramatizations and music and things that were appropriate for the whole school. We did that in the auditorium. The auditorium was still there.
TB: Right.
PC: Excuse me for interrupting again, but they had a director of the Campus School, we called it Training School back in those days.
JC: Mary Rich was the director when I was there.
PC: It was a lady named Mary Rich.
JC: Thatĺs what I said.
PC: Who graduated from Columbia University back in New York, which is a very high quality teaching school for teachers. So, they had some top flight people in that school.
JC: She was there for a long time.
PC: ůthat added a dimension that normally would not have been available to a lot of people who had trained beyond the basics to make them a public school teacher, you see what I mean? So thatĺs one of the assets, if you want to call it that, for kids that needed that training that they were qualified to give.
PC: Iĺd be glad to share this with you. This is one of about 500 different books we had, I put some of them away.
JC: I hope not.
PC: I donĺt want to interject here; Iĺm speaking out of turn.
JC: You can tell heĺs a talker.
TB: Thatĺs fine. Iĺm not in a hurry here. But, tell me about your father. Tell me about what your father was like.
JC: Well, he was unique. He was a very unique character, Iĺll tell you. He had a fantastic imagination. And he made everything fun. Thatĺs what I remember about growing up: everything was fun. Heĺd turn everything into fun. Nothing was inanimate to him, everything was animate. You know what I mean? Everything took on a personality. He would make up songs. He made up a lot of songs, about whatever was happening around the house, or my mother -- what she was doing or something -- very creative, very creative.
Of course, he did a lot of rehearsing and he would go in and close his door and I would lie on the floor with my ear to the crack. I could spend hours lying on the floor listening to him, like the Christmas Carol.
He did everything. When he went out to these speaking engagements he would take a play and do the whole thing, heĺd play all the major roles. It [was] just a one man show. He did an awful lot of that for the college, public speaking that was his thing. He did speaking engagements all the time, for organizations.
He loved camping. We went from Bellingham, Washington to Kalamazoo, Michigan in a Model A Ford. It took us three weeks and that was hard driving. You didnĺt make a lot of time in that Model A. And it did, it literally took us three weeks. Some places weĺd have to spend several nights because the weather was bad or we werenĺt able to make it up the hill that led out of town. So, weĺd turn around and come back and say, ôWell, weĺll try again tomorrow.ö If you want to think about that, I mean, that was almost a hundred years ago of course.
TB: So were a lot of the roads dirt roads.
JC: It was the Lincoln Highway, yes. Oh, yes, we went through gumbo (clay) in Wyoming and Montana. It was an adventure, it was really an adventure. We camped the whole way, put up a tent.
TB: There probably werenĺt campgrounds, though, were there?
JC: Mostly we stayed in campgrounds. Oh, yes, there were campgrounds. Most towns had a campground, because thatĺs the way people traveled. That was when we were going back, when he was going to go to school, I think, as I recall. He was going to get his masterĺs degree, and we stayed with my grandmother in Kalamazoo.
TB: Is that where your family was originally from, Michigan?
JC: His family was from Ohio and my motherĺs family is from Michigan, yes. And they ended up at Western. He had a brother, who taught at, was it Cheney? Yes, Eastern Washington. And he really got my father the job out here. He knew there was an opening at Western, or Bellingham Normal School, which it was then, of course. So, he came out. He and my mother had met when he was on one of his speaking engagements. I think they had mutual friends. But that was 19, oh Gosh, what was it? 1914? Must have been about 1914 that he started teaching at Western.
TB: Oh, so right after he had gotten married?
JC: Yes.
TB: OK. Well, what else about being a faculty child then at Western? Do you have some other stories about that?
JC: Well, we had a lot of social events. We always had picnics and stuff.
TB: Any stories about the summer barbeque?
JC: The salmon bake?
TB: Yes.
JC: Yes, that was always a big deal. The salmon bake was the big event, usually at Larrabee State Park, if I recall. You know how they do it, they build a fire and wrap the salmon up in seaweed, I canĺt remember exactly how it was done. Did you ever go to a salmon bake (referring to Philip)? Where you bake the salmon on the beach?
PC: Sure. I was in the fishing business for years.
JC: No, Iĺm talking about when we were in school. They were still having them when we went to Western, werenĺt they?
PC: I may have gone by then, I donĺt remember.
TB: I think they had them until Dr. Bond retired in the Forties.
JC: Oh, that may be, yes.
TB: Bond was big behind it.
JC: Thatĺs right, he was, Elias Bond.
PC: Iĺm trying to identify these people in a 1944 photograph, thatĺs not easy. Iĺll show you, hereĺs your father here, this was taken in 1946 or 1948, I guess. This is her father, this is a friend of mine, I donĺt know who this gentleman is here, and thatĺs a King Crab, these are large crab.
TB: Oh, wow.
PC: About 20 pound crab, King Crab.
TB: Yes
PC: We were in the king crab fishing business. You wouldnĺt recognize that guy, would you?
TB: Is that you?
JC: Gosh, she did.
TB: What other faculty members do you remember?
JC: Oh, of course, we did a lot of our socializing, everything socially we were with faculty families.
TB: Do you remember Dr. Nash?
JC: Yes. Well, barely. I was an infant. I have a one dollar gold piece that Dr. Nash gave me when I was born. He was president when I was born.
TB: What about Dr. Fisher? What do you remember of Dr. Fisher?
JC: Well, of course, that was a period of turmoil in the college, of conflict. There was a lot going on.
TB: Well, even when you were a child? I mean, he was president for ů
JC: Yes, he was president for quite a while.
TB: Did he ever come to talk to the grade school kids?
JC: I donĺt recall that he did. I just vaguely remember him. I donĺt recall how involved he was in the Campus School.
TB: Were you in the theatre program when you were at Western?
JC: No, I wasnĺt. I think I had one class from him. He didnĺt encourage me.
TB: Oh, OK. Now, Iĺm going to shift gears a little bit and ask you questions then about your time at Western as a college student. Why did you choose to attend Western?
JC: I didnĺt even consider another possibility. Iĺd been involved in Western for so long already that it was perfectly natural for me to go to Western.
TB: Did you know you wanted to be a teacher?
JC: Yes, I think I did, at that point.
TB: What were your dates of attendance at Western?
JC: 1934, ĺ35, ĺ36, ĺ37, or, whatever three years is. I graduated from high school in 1934.
TB: What degrees or certificates did you receive from Western?
JC: We got some kind of diploma of course, obviously, after three years, and your certification.
TB: Did you go out and teach right after that?
JC: No, I didnĺt. I went to the University of Washington.
TB: OK. Do you remember why you thought you needed to finish your degree then and not go right out and teach?
JC: No, I canĺt remember. All I knew is that I wanted to get my degree. I knew I wanted to finish and get my fourth year.
TB: What other degrees, if any, did you receive elsewhere? I guess you got a B.A. from the University of Washington.
JC: Yes.
TB: OK, anything else?
JC: Thatĺs it. Thatĺs all.
TB: Did any other family members attend Western?
JC: My family members, you mean?
TB: Yes, did your brother go there?
JC: No, Russ didnĺt go. He went to Portland State.
TB: Did any of your children go there as college students?
JC: Nope.
TB: But your husband did.
JC: Yes.
TB: What was your first job after leaving Western?
JC: My first job after leaving Western, my gosh, I canĺt even remember.
PC: Colfax.
JC: No, I didnĺt go to Colfax until I graduated from the University of Washington.
PC: Oh, after leaving Western? Oh, she went on to the University of Washington.
TB: Right.
JC: I didnĺt do any teaching.
TB: What was your first job, I guess, as a teacher?
JC: Oh, as a teacher, would be Colfax; third-grade at Colfax.
TB: Third-grade, OK. Any distinctive memories of that experience?
JC: Oh, letĺs see, we got engaged.
TB: Were you both at Colfax?
JC: No, but he was in the Spokane area, part of the time. Youĺre supposed to be talking, (referring to Philip). I was a freshman, you were a freshman, too, werenĺt you, at the same time, 1934?
PC: No. I didnĺt enter Bellingham State Normal until 1933. She entered in 1934. But Iĺd been out of school.
JC: You were out of school, yes. He workedů
PC: Before I went to college. Between high school and college I had one year out to try toů
JC: But we met working on the paper, the Northwest Viking. He was sports and I was our editor.
TB: This is going back to your first year then, teaching at Colfax. Any other distinctive memories of this experience? The salary, the work conditions, anything else about that?
JC: It was a very old school, a very old school building. It was a very supportive, congenial faculty. I mean, we had a good group. We had a lot of kids. It was a big, consolidated district. We had big classes and the kids came from miles around because an awful lot of little towns in there didnĺt have schools. I donĺt know, I canĺt think of anything special. It was a good year.
TB: You were only there one year?
JC: No, three.
TB: Three years. And then what did you do?
JC: The next year I went to Sedro-Woolley for a year. That was when Phil was in the service. So, then after the first year, I went to join him in Florida, he was stationed in Leesburg, Florida.
PC: May I interject something, again, if itĺs not in order? While she was at Western, she became editor of the Western Viking, that was in college.
JC: Northwest Viking.
PC: Northwest Viking. Iĺm reading this little picture of her here and Iĺm reading this comment about her, itĺs very short. ôProving that men are men and women make good editors, Joan Hoppe ruled the Northwest Viking with a firm but gentle hand during the past year. Bubbling wit combined with an unsuspected intellect makes her an eventful scholar, everybodyĺs friend, and the most popular woman on the campus. Her ambition, she insists, is to be a second Pavalova.ö Pavalova, being the dancer. And hereĺs the picture of her, here. She was voted the most popular girl on the campus and crowned the Queen of May. M-A-Y, that kind of May, which was very distinguished, complimentary in those days. Iĺm sorry to be interjecting, but that tells a little bit about her background.
JC: All I remember about that is they gave me a crown of roses. Instead of nice little rose buds, they were rather large cabbage roses. It was hot in there and it came into full bloom during the evening and all the petals fell off, so I was scattering petals everywhere. It was a lovely thing, really.
TB: OK. So, where did you live when you were at Western?
JC: At home.
TB: Who were your favorite or most influential teachers and why?
JC: Oh my gracious ů Arthur Hicks for instance, because of literature, of course. And my father, he wasnĺt my teacher, but Shakespeare was his thing. And I got steeped in Shakespeare, even though I didnĺt take the class from him.
PC: Arthur Hicks?
JC: Arthur Hicks, I mean, he was English.
PC: Yes, and you had another one you liked, too.
JC: Who? Ed Arntzen?
PC: Ed Arntzen.
JC: Ed Arntzen, what was his field?
TB: Social Studies.
JC: Yes, I guess it was Social Studies. I had a couple classes from him. Of course, we knew everybody on the faculty personally. So, it was sort of a different relationship.
TB: Theyĺd watched you grow up.
JC: Yes, they watched me grow up is right.
TB: I know that there was a Christmas party every year, right? That the faculty children went to?
JC: Yes.
TB: Do you have any special memories of that?
JC: I canĺt even remember where it was.
TB: Up in Edens, I think.
JC: Edens Hall, yes, I guess it was Edens Hall, yes. I canĺt remember anything special about that.
TB: OK. So, what was your main course of study?
End of Tape one Side one
TB: Which classes did you like the best and/or learn the most from?
JC: Well, I think literature. Arthur Hicks was the professor I think of as being connected with literature, of course; because that was his thing, definitely.
TB: Why did you like him so much?
JC: I donĺt know he just lived what he was teaching. He was so into his literature that he made everything come alive.
PC: Are you talking about Arthur Hicks?
JC: Yes.
PC: I took a course from a Stanford University graduate who came to Western the same year I did. So, I got in one of his first classes.
JC: When he was fresh.
TB: What other extra-curricular activities did you enjoy the most? Obviously, the student newspaper.
JC: Well, yes that was sort of extra-curricular and curricular, both. I turned out for, what did I turn out for? Field hockey.
PC: Hiking. She was a great hiker. We used to go on hikes and things, outdoors. The crew that did the Northwest Viking newspaper, we all got together and had parties
JC: It was a really tight group, yes.
PC: A really close group. In fact, several of those people who were killed during the 1939 avalancheů
JC: ůwere on the Northwest Viking staff.
PC: Up at Mount Baker, youĺve probably heard of that.
TB: Yes.
PC: So, we all had experience climbing, not climbing mountainsů
JC: Not that kind of climbing, though.
PC: ů Mount Baker, but we went on trips and of course, as I say, it was a pretty close-knit group. She was always the leader.
TB: What about dances? Were there a lot of dances?
JC: A lot of informal type dances, yes, Rec hour type. It was the Rec hour.
TB: Any other special memories of your college days?
JC: I donĺt know. Itĺs just sort of a bigů
PC: She has lots of memories. We all do, special.
JC: Itĺs hard to sort them out.
PC: Probably meeting me.
JC: Sure. It was a big event.
PC: I used to be a flashy dresser.
TB: Oh, you were both sharp dressers. I looked you guys up in the annuals; you were both very sharp dressers.
JC: I had a camelĺs hair coat that was a knock out, it came almost to my ankles, it wrapped around three times, you know. But the funniest thing happened. One day, I donĺt know where I was going, but I really felt that I was really dressed to the teeth, in that camelĺs hair coat. And I was going some place and I opened up my coat and a fly flew out. I have several friends who never forgot that.
PC: She planted flies just to get attention!
TB: OK. What about Valkyrie? You were in Valkyrie.
JC: Yes.
TB: What was that like, or what was that all about?
JC: That was fun. I mean, you just, it was a pep club type thing. We had a lot of social events and activities.
PC: Did you say Valkyrie?
JC: Yes.
TB: Yes.
PC: Iĺll see if she was there.
TB: Yep, she was. I wouldnĺt have made it up.
PC: You got these books, too.
TB: I got those books, too, I looked you guys up.
JC: She got the inside information.
TB: Kind of.
PC: You didnĺt see me in anything. I wasnĺt a joiner.
TB: Yes, you were there. You were in theůand you were at homecoming -- the bon fire -- but Iĺll talk to you in a minute. OK, anything else in your memory?
JC: He was what?
TB: Well, weĺll go over that in a minute.
JC: I was going to tell a funny story about that.
TB: Anything else that you havenĺt commented on of either Campus School, your father or of your time at the college?
JC: Oh, boy.
TB: Just anything youĺd like to share or have on the record.
JC: Is there anything Iĺd like to share, honey?
PC: What was the question?
JC: An outstanding event?
TB: Iĺm trying to get at anything else that was a special memory to her, of her time at the Campus School or as a college student or of her childrenĺs time even, at Campus School or any other memories of her father?
JC: Oh, I have lots of memories of my father. Itĺs hard to pin anything down. Oh, dear. I donĺt know.
PC: I wasnĺt living with her at that time.
JC: No, you werenĺt. I canĺt think of anything special.
PC: She didnĺt have a normal upbringing. With her father, nothing was really normal in the sense of calmness. We lived there two years after I got out of the service, because we had no place to live. We got married while I was in the service and we had no home, so I lived with the family and I got a chance to observe, in an intimate way, a lot about her father. But thatĺs not what youĺre asking, the question, this is all incidental to what youĺre here for. But he was a different kind of a personů
JC: A very unforgettable person. He influenced my life an awful lot.
PC: Some people might even say he at times could be considered eccentric, but not really, temperamental, yes, maybe, brilliant, no question about his brilliancy. Absolutely brilliant in terms of his profession and directing plays in the city and stepping ahead in a way that made him an outstanding citizen of the city, because of his drama and his ability to perform. So, I saw that from a different vantage point, maybe than Jan would. Then again, I was just a country hick. Pardon me, but I came to the city and grew up pretty fast, learning a little bit about the other side. I was used to working with farmers, people like that.
JC: My father was a shock to him, thatĺs what it was.
PC: ů a rather demonstrative group of people.
JC: Another funny thing. My dad wrote the script for the Tulip Festival, which went on for years. So I got to be [on] the float. I always got to be [on] the queenĺs float. I was a page or something, that was because my dad wrote the [program]. I said I didnĺt participate in any of his plays, but I did one time. It must have been when I was five years old, probably, Kindergarten or First-grade, and I was going to be a fairy in Midsummer Nightĺs Dream I thought, ôOh, boy, Iĺll probably have a gorgeous costume.ö I was the moth! My mother dyed some cheesecloth gray and that was my costume. My friends had these lovely costumes. That was a blow. But I got to be part of it. I think I even had one speaking line.
TB: So, tell me a little bit more about the Tulip Parade. What kind of script was there?
JC: Well, there was a pageant, is what it was. In fact, I wonder if I still have a copy of that. I have a lot of my dadĺs stuff.
TB: Oh, you do have some of your dadĺs stuff.
JC: Well, just pictures and some of it goes clear back to when he was in college, because he was doing a lot of speaking.
TB: So do you have some of his speeches or different scripts that he used when he did his work?
JC: Well, the plays. I have a lot of his play books that are all marked for direction, just his little paper back play books. What do you do with them?
TB: Oh, weĺd love them. How hard was it for your father to retire?
JC: Well, he didnĺt retire at 65. I think he taught at least ů see, he died at 70, so he hadnĺt been retired all that long. I think he retired at 67 and he only lived three years after that.
TB: Wow. Any thoughts for him when they built the new auditorium? Did he like that or he didnĺt like that?
JC: Oh, yes. Of course, he did Shakespeare. Of course before that he did Shakespeare on the knoll. Is the knoll still there?
TB: Yes.
JC: Yes, and that was a perfect place for something like A Midsummer Nightĺs Dream. He did several things on the knoll. Then, of course, when they built the [auditorium] I remember him doing The Merchant of Venice, not even in the stage, but in that narthex, the front part of theůwith the stairway coming down, they used that instead of the stage. He played Shylock of course. He always played Shylock when they did The Merchant of Venice.
TB: Now, do you know why he liked Shakespeare so much?
JC: Oh, heavens. He had gotten that years before, I mean, he was just a Shakespeare buff. It must have been his own professors, he went to Denison University. He actually could have gone on the professional stage. He had an opportunity; he could have been an actor, a professional actor. But he chose to be a teacher. I just grew up with Shakespeare -- that was his love.
TB: Did you know Angus Bowmer?
JC: Yes.
TB: Do you want to talk a little bit about their relationship?
JC: He was what we called a perpetual school boy. He was in school for a long time after, he kept coming back. And of course, dad was really his mentor. He was in practically every play. During the time he was in school, he was in every play that dad did. Iĺm sure thatĺs what inspired him to start acting.
TB: He credited your father with that, he wrote a book.
JC: Yes, he said dad was his mentor.
TB: Well, I donĺt have any other questions, so if you donĺt think of anything [else]?
JC: If I had just sat down and [coddled] my brains I might have remembered more. Itĺs awfully hard. Thatĺs been a long time.
TB: Why donĺt you tell me a little bit about Mabel Zoe Wilson? Or your memories of her?
JC: Well, she was always a character, she and Lillian both, always characters. I donĺt know I donĺt have any great stories to tell about her. We felt that she was a personage and she was always treated with great respect and she did a tremendous job with the library, absolutely tremendous job. But, beyond that, I donĺt know, I thought she was really a very lovely person, very enjoyable and really a very gracious person, too.
TB: Did she show a lot of interest in you as a child?
JC: Well, not undo interest, but I always knew her. And as I say, I always felt that she was someone to be respected. Of course, that was my upbringing, to respect my elders anyway. She was my elder, then -- quite a bit my elder.
TB: What about Lillian George?
JC: Well, Lillian George was a very direct, very much to the point. Sheĺd say exactly what she believed and if that bothered you, well, thatĺs just tough. She was definitely a character. She loved outdoor sports and especially this place down on the Oregon Coast that she called Yachats. Iĺm not sure just how you spell that. Anyway, it was her favorite place, right on the ocean, and she talked a lot about Yachats. She did a lot of hiking. She was a tough old gal.
But beyond that, they were always there and they were always part of the library as far as we were concerned, because they were the only librarians we knew at Western, then.
TB: Did you go on to the hikes with her?
JC: No, not really.
TB: Was she stern?
JC: She had the effect of being stern, yes she was. But we knew her a little more personally, and I thought she was a delightful person. But she was very direct, if you didnĺt like what she said, well, thatĺs just tough. What you see is what you get.
TB: Thatĺs right, OK. Thank you very much.

After a campuswide call for suggestions, the Writing Center/Student Technology collaboration official has a new name: The Warrior Writing, Research and Technology Zone or "The WRT (pronounced "write") Zone." Though the group did not end up picking a winner from the campus entries, all of the ideas submitted helped the group come up with this name that perfectly describes all of the services that the collaboration will be offering to the students of Wayne State.
Hosted by the Libraries, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Provost Margaret Winters, the grand opening of the WRT Zone on October 3 saw a wonderful turnout of students and staff from around the university. Following a ribbon cutting across the threshold of the space, the new name was revealed and visitors were free to tour the space and get more information from the staff about specific services.
If you haven't seen it already, stop by room 2310 in the UGL today to get in the WRT Zone!

Baseball Beats IPFW Sunday to Sweep Weekend's Games
Ball State's baseball team improved to 10-8 overall with a 9-2 victory over IPFW in Indianapolis, Ind., Sunday. The win was the fourth on the weekend for the Cardinals with three wins over the Mastodons and one win over Taylor.
Scott Baker recorded the pitching victory for Ball State and improved to 5-0 on the year. He pitched seven innings, allowing three hits, zero earned runs and struck out eight batters in the outing. The bullpen of Matt Johnsen, Michael Sandman and Tyler Jordan limited IPFW to one run in the final two innings to secure the victory.
Offensively, the Cardinals were led by the 2-for-4 performance of Cody Campbell, who alsoadded three runs scored and two runs-batted-in. Kevin Schlotter was also 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored.
Ball State jumped out to a 3-0 lead through three innings, and the game remained that way until the seventh frame when the Mastodons scored one run. The Cardinals rallied for a six run seventh inning to take a 9-1 lead into the final inning when IPFW added one additional score.
Wes Winkle was 1-for-2 on the day with two RBI and one run scored, while Blake Beemer managed one hit in four at-bats with two RBI.
Beemer, Elbert Devarie and T.J. Weir each tallied doubles on the day.
Ball State will return to action Wednesday with a 3 p.m. home game vs. Butler at Ball Diamond.

THE Glendale Gateway Trust has appointed two internationally-known experts to give them advice on rural issues and philanthropy.
Mark Shucksmith is Professor of Planning at Newcastle University, specialising in rural communities, and Jo Andrews, a former senior correspondent at ITN, is director of Ariadne, the European Human Rights Funders network. Both have accepted invitations to become the trust's first honorary 'specialist advisors'.
Jo has worked extensively as a consultant supporting new philanthropists, and for four years was director of the Sigrid Rausing Trust. She founded the Ariadne Network in 2009 to increase the impact and effectiveness of human rights funding in Europe. At ITN she worked in London, Brussels and Washington during the '80s and '90s, covering the Monica Lewinsky affair and seven UK general elections.
Jo's grandmother helped run the Wooler post office during the war, her mother was brought up in Wooler, and Jo herself now has a self-catering business in Kilham.
Prof Shucksmith has provided advice to governments and agencies in several countries on rural development, social exclusion in rural areas and agricultural change. He was a member of the Government's Affordable Rural Housing Commission, and directed the Joseph Rowntree Foundation's programme on 'action in rural areas'. He is currently director of the Newcastle Institute for Social Renewal. He was awarded the OBE in 2009 for services to rural development and crofting.
"We are delighted to have two such distinguished experts ready and willing to give us the benefit of their vast experience", said Patsy Healey, trust chair. "We operate in very challenging economic times, and their advice over the next few years will be invaluable to us as we strive to do more for the Glendale community."

ParenteBeard is ranked as one of the top 25 accounting and business advisory firms in the U.S.
And it has an office right in downtown Williamsport at 400 Market St.
For the past 30 years, the professionals at ParenteBeard have handled local clients in need of auditing and accounting services, tax help, and business consulting.
The diverse types of services the firm handles sets it apart, according to Andy Nichols, a Williamsport native and a partner in the firm.
"We touch a lot of different industries," he said.
With some 30 employees, including a number of certified public accountants, the firm brings plenty of experience and knowledge to the table.
But if there is something that can't be answered quite readily for a client at the Williamsport office, that doesn't mean the problem can't be solved.
"We have resources all over the place," said Nichols. "That's one of our big benefits."
The company is an independent member of Baker Tilly International, an affiliate network of 156 accounting and consulting firms,
Nichols said ParenteBeard is comfortable with its many longtime clients.
"We try to be small town-oriented," he said.
In essence, there are few questions that the company can't resolve for a client.
Deb Bowes, a partner in the firm, said it's quite likely that someone right in the Williamsport office is up to the task.
"Our list of industries is just so broad," she said.
The company draws its clients from among health care, education, manufacturing and other employers.
Nichols said the firm has managed to maintain its core clients too.
And most of the ParenteBeard's employees have been there a long time.
"We are consistently adding one or two people a year," Bowes said.
Among the most challenging aspects of the business, she said, is meeting the constant deadlines.
Nichols added that staying abreast of the ever-changing regulations of the industry is also a challenge.
The end of the year ultimately is a busy time for the firm, although there is no real down time.
"Being a CPA (certified public accountant) is not for everyone," Nichols said. "There's a lot of hours."
They agree that working in Williamsport is a good place to be.
"Williamsport is a great fit for us," Nichols said.

Police Beat
Aug. 21: Three downtown businesses were vandalized around eight in the evening. Customers and employees heard the sound of windows breaking, but did not see anything suspicious. Patrons at the third business did see a dark Pathfinder driving by at the same time the window broke, but did not see any objects thrown from the car.
Aug. 20: During the night, a homeowner in the 12900 block of NE 146th Place awoke to the sound of his dog barking and a car driving away. The next morning the victim left for work. Three blocks from his house he came upon his own 1984 Pontiac parked on the side of the road. The man got out to find the driver's side lock punched, the dash cracked and the steering column broken. He attempted to drive the car back home, but the car wouldn't go into gear. The victim called the police who were able to lift prints. The case is under further investigation.
Aug. 19: Officers conducted a routine traffic stop in the 14000 block of NE 181st Place. The stop resulted in the arrest of the suspect for driving under the influence. During the stop, the officer noticed blood splattered on the exterior of the car. When questioned about the blood, the suspect said that he had a bloody nose the day before at work. This seemed inconsistent with the officer's observations. When the suspect exited the vehicle, the officer noted more blood splattered on the suspect's pants and shirt. A search of the car incident to arrest revealed two blood soaked paper towels stuffed under the driver's seat which appeared fresh. Officers also found a number of women's rings. The case is under further investigation.
Aug. 18: During regular patrol, officers found a burnt and destroyed shopping cart in the 17900 block of Garden Way. The shopping cart had been set on fire and burned completely to the metal frame.

Fastball (Hollywood)
Album of the week
Don't worry, we don't mean you. But you may know a pop-music fan of a certain age who listens to classic-rock radio and grouses about how they don't make music like they used to. We're talking about people who stopped buying new CDs long before their AARP cards arrived. Well, here's a new album by a trio of guys who are making music that will appeal to aging, er, classic-oriented rock fans weaned on albums that came in jackets, not jewel boxes. Fastball's Tony Scaizo (bass, vocals), Miles Zuniga (guitar, vocals) and drummer Joey Shuffield scored a hit two years ago with "The Way," and once again they harken back to rock's golden era with an album chock-full of melodic hooks, shimmering guitar breaks, boogie piano (provided fittingly by Beatles side-man Billy Preston) and exuberant choruses. "I'm an island, but you're an ocean/ It's a stormy sea of love and emotion," Scaizo sings on "You're an Ocean." Tell your friends to quit complaining.

SAN ANTONIO - Jack G. Kline, 80, passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012.
He was born and raised in northeastern Ohio, where he spent some of his adult life, as well as in Santa Fe, N.M., and the last 30 years in San Antonio.
Jack proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy. He made his living doing what he loved - his life's work was his avocation. He was known as Trader Jack, and before his retirement owned Trader Jack Antiques. His enjoyment and pleasures were sharing his love for antiques, fine craftsmanship, history and art with his friends, customers, neighbors and family.

Jack G. Kline
His family would like to say that he had a very deep interest and was incredibly wonderful with people from all walks of life. It was his presence, his words, his stories and his never-ending generosity that made him an exceptional and warm-hearted man, a loving father and a caring husband. His life made a lasting impact on his family, friends and all who knew him.
Jack is survived by his loving wife, Mary Agnes Kunz of San Antonio; his son, Randall William (Verdena Ann) Kline, and their children April Marie (Jim) McIntosh and Samuel David (fiancee Rachael Stewart) Kline; his daughter, Barbara Ann (Thom) Perry, and their son, John Gage Perry, all of northeastern Ohio; and his caregiver, personal assistant, dear friend, Leeross Valdez, who made it possible for Jack to spend the past seven and a half years enjoying his life to the fullest in spite of his disabilities.
His memory will be a blessing to each and every person whom he touched throughout his life.
At Jack's insistence, there will be no funeral services. Memorial contributions may be made to the Animal Defense League, 11300 Nacogdoches Road, San Antonio, TX 78217, in the hope that everyone has the good fortune to adopt a dog like Jack's beloved companion, Coco.

BAY CITY, MI — U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Township, has announced plans to be aboard the Appledore IV tomorrow to announce a "major" plan to protect the Great Lakes from a proposed nuclear waste facility on the Canadian shores of Lake Huron.
Years in planning, the facility is backed by Ontario Power Generation, which hopes to store low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste in an underground facility roughly 680 meters deep in limestone near the shores of the lake, near Kincardine, Ontario.
Kildee's announcement is scheduled to take place at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28, while aboard the docked Appledore IV, moored at the foot of 5th Street, along the banks of the Saginaw River.
He's expected to unveil plans to introduce a congressional resolution that would put Congress on the record against the construction of the nuclear waste facility.
Numerous local governments have already taken a stand against the facility, including Bay County and the City of Essexville. Both entities voted unanimously in recent weeks to oppose the facility, sending their resolutions to officials in the U.S. and Canada.
Proposed to be constructed in the same local area as nuclear reactors owned by the company, the facility would likely store low-level nuclear waste, like rags, tools and floor sweepings from nuclear facilities — much of which has already been incinerated on-site — as well as intermediate-level waste, like components and filters used in nuclear reactors.
Nearly 200,000 cubic meters of the waste would likely be stored in the site, half of which is already above-ground in the area. The other half, the official said, would be moved to the site over several decades following the facility's completion.
"I think everyone in the state thinks that the location they've been talking about with storage is not a good idea," said Tom Hickner, Bay County executive. "I think most people in general in Michigan know that the Great Lakes are a major asset, and certainly (Bay County residents') awareness of our water resources in the state are amplified because we see the water all the time."
Hickner's comments have been echoed by state and federal legislators for at least the previous year. U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin have both weighed in against the plan, as have other members of Michigan's congressional delegation, like U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Flint Township.
In May 2013, the Michigan Senate supported a resolution expressing a desire for careful review of the plan and noted that Michigan law would prohibit a nuclear waste site so close to the lakeshore. Multiple members of the legislature have been outspoken since, including State Sen. Mike Green, R-Mayville.
"My district is just a hop, skip and a jump over the lake over there, and we're just concerned about nuclear waste being dumped over there," Green said. "It's beyond our ability to say yea or nay about anything over there...but we're trying to get the feds to take another look."
Ontario Power Generation is a Canadian power company that produces a significant amount of the electricity consumed in Ontario. A 2013 infographic published by the company assures readers that the site is safe and poses no threat to the surrounding area.
"The rock around the proposed (facility) is ancient and has survived mountain-building and multiple glaciers," the infographic reads. "Experts predict the rock will remain stable for hundreds of millions of years."
Neal Kelly, a spokesman for Ontario Power Generation, explained that although some of the waste is already stored above ground in the area, burying the waste is a longer-term solution than keeping it where it is.
"Over time, you would cap the facility, you would decommission the facility...at some point you would walk away," he said, adding that the site was chosen after the Municiplaity of Kincardine approached the company in 2001.
"They believed they had a social responsibility," he said. "They benefited from nuclear energy in their community for many, many years."
Russell Tanner, the mayor of Essexville, still isn't convinced.
"The Great Lakes (are) the best source of fresh water in the world, on the globe. We don't want to even consider any kind of detrimental action with the nuclear waste dumped there."
County Commissioner Kim Coonan, D-4th District, agreed.
"We don't want that stuff near our waterways," he said.
Officials from BaySail and the Saginaw Bay Watershed Initiative are also expected to be present at Thursday's event.

Defying the Palace, a Calculating Princess Diana Takes the Offensive in the Battle for Britain's Sympathies—and Admits to An Affair of Her Own
Watched by more than 21.5 million people in Britain and expected to draw millions more during an ABC News Turning Point special on Nov. 24, Di's first solo interview was seen as an extraordinary drama that eclipsed Charles's 1994 interview on ITN with journalist Jonathan Dimbleby. Bold and wide-ranging, Di's talk marked a new era in her turbulent relationship with the Palace—which, ironically, had taken pains of late to reestablish her as a working royal. Aired in Britain on the Queen's 48th wedding anniversary and announced by the BBC on Nov. 14—Charles's 47th birthday—the 55-minute session was interpreted as a hostile gesture not only toward the prince but also to the clan that Di once, in a recorded phone chat with chum James Gilbey, indiscreetly referred to as "this f—ing family." Saying she does not expect to become queen and doubts that Charles wants to be king, she claimed that courtiers had pegged her as a troubled woman and "a threat." Still, she said, "I'll fight to the end, because I believe I have a role to fulfill, and I've got two children to bring up."
The official response from Buckingham Palace was a conciliatory offer to "meet with the princess to see how we can help her define her future and continue to support her." Less uninformed than press reports suggested, the Palace had intentionally kept at arm's length from the interview. Yet some observers expected courtiers to be "absolutely devastated by this Exocet [missile] that she has fired at them," says Brian Hoey, author of a dozen books on the Windsors. "I'm sure Prince Charles had no idea of the damage she was going to inflict."
Like many royal watchers, Hoey described the princess's performance in the segment (excerpted from a four-hour interview) as brilliant. "[She] was incredible," says Hoey. "Her answers were calculated and impeccably delivered. And she came over as intelligent. Never again will anybody be able to accuse her of being thick as a plank."
Still, a significant minority asserted that Diana seemed to be spinning paranoid fantasies. "She looked physically and almost mentally ill," said Sue Townsend, author of a satirical novel about the Windsors called The Queen and I, which was later adapted for the stage. "It was almost like interviewing someone in a mental hospital—I felt I shouldn't be watching."
Although the prince himself (who spent part of the day at the Palace at a luncheon for Jordan's King Hussein) offered no comment, one of his oldest friends, Armed Forces Minister Nicholas Soames, pronounced Di's performance "toe-curlingly dreadful." Ex-husband of Catherine Soames, a close friend of Di's, the minister described the princess as being "in the advanced stages of paranoia" and said that what came through in the interview was "this tremendous...unhappiness that led to instability and mental illness."
In any case, Di's breach of the Windsors' "never complain, never explain" policy left her mother-in-law "seething," as a source described it to the Daily Mirror. On the night of the broadcast, the Queen and Prince Philip attended a Royal Variety performance for charity at London's Dominion Theater. There was no word on whether the Queen Mother, 95, who is recovering from hip-replacement surgery in King Edward VII's Hospital for Officers, had seen the show.
As provocative as the interview may have been, the intrigue surrounding Di's dealings with the BBC was almost as irritating to the Windsors. It was widely reported that neither Diana's staff nor the Queen's knew about the taping in the dining room of the princess's Kensington Palace quarters until Nov. 14. At that point, Di—who allegedly met Bashir through another journalist—was said to have phoned brother-in-law Sir Robert Fellowes, the Queen's private secretary (and husband of Di's sister Jane), to report that she had spoken to the BBC. Some sources close to the Palace, however, assert that certain advisers to the Queen actually encouraged Di to have her say, hoping that the public would turn against her and that opinion makers would call for a divorce. (A Nov. 16 poll by the Sunday Times found that most Britons, in fact, would be happy to see the Waleses go their separate ways.)
The BBC itself came under fire for circumventing the Palace in its negotiations with Diana—who reportedly was sold on the interview by the Duchess of York. "There is extreme irritation that the BBC, which has long enjoyed preferential treatment in the coverage of all state occasions and royals events, failed to [inform] the Palace," noted the Mirror. The controversy heated up when the Sunday Times reported that network programming executives had even kept the interview a secret from BBC chairman Marmaduke Hussey (whose wife, Lady Susan, is a lady-in-waiting to the Queen), fearing that he would "tell Buckingham Palace and try to censor the programme."
Aired on the eve of Diana's four-day working trip to Argentina, the interview was interpreted as her attempt not only to set the record straight but to restore the Mother-Teresa credentials tarnished by her friendship with rugby captain Will Carling and the subsequent breakup of his marriage. Palace watchers noted that Diana was said to be impressed by the gravitas of the 60 Minutes-style show, even though Bashir, 32, ignored Carling and troublesome subjects including her alleged affair with married art dealer Oliver Hoare. (Diana, who has been courted by Barbara Walters and Oprah Winfrey, has consented, according to the Sunday Times, to "at least two [more] general interviews, one for television and one for a foreign publication." There has been no word, however, on which outlets she has chosen.)
Not surprisingly, Charles was said to be stunned by his wife's confessions to Bashir. In the privacy of Highgrove, he reportedly commiserated with his inamorata Camilla Parker Bowles, 48, as a composed but emotional Diana, dressed in a conservative navy suit, talked about the breakdown of a marriage that, she said, "I [had] desperately wanted to work." The obstacles, she said, had included Charles's jealousy of her popularity with the press and his enduring attraction to Parker Bowles. Asserting that her "woman's instinct" led her to suspect in 1985 that he was unfaithful, Di said, "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." Charles's infidelity was "pretty devastating," she added, and triggered "a feeling of being useless and hopeless and failed."
By Di's account, Charles's staff ("the enemy," in her words) preyed on her emotional vulnerability. For example, the depression that she suffered after William was born provided "a wonderful new label," she said: " 'Diana [is] mentally unbalanced.' " She admitted that her cry-for-help, suicidal gestures (including slashing her wrists with a razor and cutting herself on her chest and thighs with a penknife) fueled that notion—as did her struggle with bulimia.
Diana said her relationship with the suave Hewitt helped sustain her because "he was always there to support me." Acknowledging that she eventually began sleeping with him, she added, "I was in love." But then, she said, Hewitt betrayed her. In October 1994 he phoned to assure her that Princess in Love, a bodice-ripping "memoir" produced in collaboration with British journalist Anna Pasternak, was "nothing to worry about." Instead, Hewitt revealed in the book that Di had contemplated leaving Charles for him. "I minded very much that [he] made money out of me," she told Bashir.
Although Hewitt made no reply to her startling confession, Pasternak reported in the Evening Standard that "he was pleased that [Diana] seemed to have found inner strength." Still, there have been indications that he feels a certain regret; a pariah of sorts, he lives the life of a squire in a Devon manor house believed to have been purchased with his $375,000 share of the profits. Last May he told the Sunday Times, "Of course I regret what was written. I wish now that I had confided only in my family." As for the future, he said, "What am I going to do with my life? I'm only good at two things—horses and sex. I suppose that makes me unemployable."
If Di took other lovers, she wasn't telling Bashir. She denied that she had slept with Gilbey (whose suggestive conversation with her sparked the "Squidgygate" scandal when it was leaked to the tabloids in 1992) or made nuisance calls to friend and art dealer Oliver Hoare.
Despite her occasionally bitter tone, the princess described herself to Bashir as a woman above petty jealousy. Even when Charles confessed to infidelity last year, she said, she admired his honesty. When she heard that Dimbleby had written about Charles's affair with Camilla in his biography of the prince (published in October 1994), she drove to Ludgrove school in Berkshire to speak with her sons. William, she said, asked whether his father's infidelity had prompted the separation, and she explained that it was part of the problem—that "although I still loved Papa, I couldn't live under the same roof."
By one account at least, Diana enacted a similar scene on the eve of her own interview. On Nov. 18 she spoke to Prince Harry, 11, at Ludgrove. The next day she was photographed with William at Eton, where she called him aside as he left the chapel and took him behind a hedge for a tête-à-tête, presumably to warn him about the broadcast.
Like her ex-lover, Diana—who dazzled guests and drew an army of paparazzi at a gala for a cancer charity in London on the night of the broadcast—faces an uncertain future. While the Palace reportedly has no plans to send her into exile, it now regards her, according to the Daily Telegraph, as "an unpredictable and grimly determined adversary." Although she is set on remaining as a kind of goodwill ambassador, royal watchers wonder just how far the Palace will go to keep her in the fold. In the wake of the interview, a divorce was expected sooner rather than later, and "this will in no way enhance Diana's position," says biographer Lady Colin Campbell. "This simply makes it easier for Charles to divorce her and for people to understand why he has to do it."
For all the controversy, it seems that the common folk—always Diana's strongest supporters—are still solidly behind her. On the night of Nov. 20 the switchboard at The Sun was flooded with calls from readers praising the princess for her courage, and the next day audience members on the BBC morning chat show Kilroy expressed sympathy for the woman who said she wants to "make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels." Said one starstruck devotee: "I think she's absolutely marvelous. Here's this chap who was having an affair after they got married. How can they say she's to blame?"

Phoebe Prince's mother tearfully lashed out in a Massachusetts court Wednesday at the teenagers who bullied her daughter before the 15-year-old girl committed suicide.
Anne O'Brien singled out Sean Mulveyhill, who briefly dated Prince, claiming he was in a "predatory" relationship with the girl before encouraging other teens to torment her.
"There is a dead weight that now sits permanently on my chest," O'Brien said at the sentencing in the Northampton courtroom of two of the six teens charged in connection with Prince's case.
In a deal with prosecutors, Mulveyhill, 18, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor criminal harassment and was sentenced instead to one-year probation and community service.
His ex-girlfriend, Kayla Narey, 18, who reached a similar plea deal, apologized, breaking down in tears as she said, "I was the weak one and that behavior will always be with me. I'm sorry, Phoebe. I am sorry about the unkind things I said, I'm sorry I laughed when someone was shouting things at you."
"I am immensely ashamed of myself," added Narey. "I am sorry for my role in this tragedy and I am deeply sorry for what my behavior has caused my family, my loving friends and the South Hadley community."

The first half of his 1500 mile weekend journey was cold and damp, so the inside of the van, under his warm blanket, was the preferred location. As we passed through the early Winter weather into a bit warmer South Carolina climate, the semi-annual stop for Blenheim Ginger Ale at the "South of the Border" attraction caught Buddylee sniffing the turf of an over-sized fiberglass hound dog. Our boy is safe and sound in his southern home and ready for many new adventures. Today he celebrated his mother's birthday and gave her a custom made Buddylee silhouette that you can see by clicking HERE. "Happy birthday Mother dear!"

The recent report by Hoffman1 on "Radium (Mesothorium) Necrosis" makes it necessary for us to report our unfinished observations on the danger of the accumulation of radioactive substances in the body and their effect on the hematopoietolytic systems.2 Hoffman's contribution is based mainly on a survey, from the statistician's point of view, of some five deaths and twelve living cases, occurring among girls employed in painting the dials of watches and clocks with luminous paint. He found that they developed a very resistant infection of the jaw, with buccal lesions and marked anemia. His idea was that a distinct occupational poisoning had occurred, the paint entering the body by way of the gastro-intestinal tract as a result of the habit of pointing in their mouths the tips of the brushes used in painting.

I had a play on Temple last week vs ND + 4td, but Houston basically needs to just win for this cover. *Tulane -6 South Alabama will struggle this year. The Jaguars will struggle in the trenches and do not have the playmakers to keep up with.... even Tulane.**Duke -5- Blue Devils won by 24 two years ago and they are a program on the rise. Memphis is playing their first game, no surprises... they will still be horrible.*Tex-7 Longhorns took a while to wake up in week one. They have a big advantage in the trenches plus this year, they will not have 3 QBs and a WR throw the ball. Last week, BYU outgained Vir by 140 with an even TO ratio and still lost because Hill was 13-40 throwing the ball.*SJSU+26- (i am waiting for 28 near game time but I will use this as it is the prevolent # now) The Spartans were -2 in the turnover department and outgained the Trees last year in a 3 point defeat. Stanford has not played yet and won 8 games by 8 or less points last year.OVER/unders may come later this week when weather is confirmed. NFL, **Det -4 Minn is going to return to the pack. Vikings will miss Winfield's leadership in the secondary, especially in this matchup. Bush should have a big game against slow Vikings LBs. *Cle PK Norv Turner is back where he belongs, as an OC. I think they could approach 8 wins this year. Miami overspent on a few free agents and Tannehill will miss the checkdowns to Bush when he can not read the def's coverage. O-line struggles, this will be more prevalent on the road.*Under NYG/DALL 48- Big division matchup with Manning struggling in preseason and Brown will be missed near the goal line. Cowboys new bend but don't break def should slow the game down, meaning less times for Romo to make mistakes. Don't see both teams reaching 20.

well Shadow of Colussus rocks. I don't know if many people here have played it. To me it was one of the funnest games i have ever played. It seriously just Zelda with 16 bosses and no temples.Originally Posted by Rahnter
Anyone else want to see some PS2 games ported to the Nintendo Wii? I would love to see XIII ported, loved the style and it would be a great FPS on the Wii.
Also, Shadow of Colussus would be great if you could flick the wiimote to jump then grab on holding both z and b, then climb by moving the nunchuk or wiimote. (the nunchuck would be the characters left hand and the wiimote his right) You could even let go of the z button and stab by pulling and pushing the remote. (meh just an idea, but it would make it feel as if you were actually climbing).
Okami would also be great, with the celestial brush controlled by the wiimote.
So my picks would be:
Shadow of Colossus
well Shadow of Colussus rocks. I don't know if many people here have played it. To me it was one of the funnest games i have ever played. It seriously just Zelda with 16 bosses and no temples.Originally Posted by Rahnter

Okami better jump over, even though clover is gone, Capcom could still make a remake of it but for the wii, I'd buy the game again
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could cause serious injury.
yea shadow of the colossus was awsome and so was okami but shadow of the colossus seemed kind of lonely with the lack of any different kinds of interaction other than your horse and that dead girl
Definitely Okami. It just seems that it should have been a Wii game. Time Crisis 3
Katamari will be a lot of fun with the Wii-mote and nunchuck.
Fully functional Nintendo collection:
NES, SNES, N64, GC (missing), Wii
GB, GB Pocket, GB Color, GBA , GBA SP, GB Micro (missing)
DS (missing), DS Lite
god of war would do pretty good id imagine too
This will sound pretty negative, but I'm not really a PS2 fan, and games that are ported often arn't that great. With that said, TWISTED METAL!!! with pointer aiming
Shadow of the Collosus was great, but it would still have to keep it's awesome graphics. I don't care what argument you make, lower the graphics on that and that will just make me sad.
Id love to see a cricket 07 or ricky ponting cricket port for the wii. i think it would be great, and why not? they have a baseball game ... there should be crikcet!!!
