Back to School
by Rosa Jimenez
Come back to school with us. In this issue feature writer Marlan Kay looks at classes cut from a different cloth—classes that may raise a casual observer’s eyebrows. After all, what could a future dentist learn from polygraph testing? How would a Shakespeare production benefit a future businesswoman? You’ll read about that in this article.
In our Campus Current section, take time to remember, as the campus did in October, the legacy of Walla Walla College’s Administration Building. Two years after demolition plans were first announced, the wrecking ball took the first swing on Oct. 27. During the following week, onlookers gathered behind the chain link barrier to reminisce and to witness the project’s magnitude. In our conversations we pointed out the classroom where we had spent hours or the dorm room we lived in.
Perhaps you have a special memory of the Ad Building. I invite you to share it with us. We may use it in a future issue of Westwind or a new Web site we have created, “Remembering the Ad Building.”
We’d love to hear from you not only about the Ad Building, but for another feature we are working on. Did you have a life-changing experience at Walla Walla College? If so, tell us about it. The legacy of wwc is in your stories.
On a personal note, with this issue we say farewell to staff member Bradley Nelson as he heads to graduate school. I have appreciated Bradley’s writing talent for the past two years and we wish him well as he enters graduate school at Ohio University. Tara Jeske, a 2000 communications graduate, joins the staff as Campus Current editor.
