Several Bellingham residents and Western students were among 30,000 delegates who traveled to China this summer for a parallel forum in Huairou. As the feature by David Lynch on page 26 discovers, the forum served as an energy booster and supportive ven­ture. And although the conference ended two months ago, these women remain enthusiastic. They’ve continued the struggle for change. Here is a look at the outcome — the fledgling results. This is what Lynch, who lived in China for six years, tried to focus on.

A global networking took place in China, with women exchanging ad­ dresses and phone …

Money. We worry about it constantly, wonder how we'll pay our next bill, struggle to make ends meet. Strangely enough, though, we usually manage to find a way to buy the latest Soundgarden CD or a gorgeous new shirt from the Gap. Wolfish manufacturers often latch on to the Red-Riding-Hood innocence of college students, guiding us down a well-disguised path to poverty. In our special consumerism section, writers address the woes of credit, junk mail, the infamous lure of Columbia House and choosing cheap products over their "greener" competitors.

Though we can identify with such concerns, they pale in comparison …

On the cool spring afternoon when my editorial staff and I sat down to choose from the stories submitted for this issue, we couldn't help but notice the unusual amount of articles focusing on women. Granted, most of our writers were female, but I was worried we might be deemed radical journalists who were using the magazine to promote a personal agenda.

Some editors were overjoyed with the idea. ''What's wrong with having one issue of Klipsun take a feminist slant? It's about time!" Others were not so enthusiastic. They envisioned the magazine becoming one of alternative media's men-bashers, intent …

Male, female, black, white, brown, yellow, red, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, rich and poor.

These traits, along with many others, are used to separate people into groups within our culture. Because someone was inherently given these traits, they could be considered by others as more or less of a person. This was true during the era of slavery and internment, and is unfortunately still true today.

Three years ago, I attended Florida State University, where the student body was much more representative of the national ethnic makeup than Western. Since I didn’t have a car, I was dependent …

Twenty-five years ago, Jimi Hendrix died. Twenty-five years ago, the Beatles sang their last song together. Twenty-five years ago, the United States increased its involvement in Vietnam by in­vading Cambodia. Twenty-five years ago, to reflect the is­sues faced by the students of Western Wash­ington State College, Klipsun Magazine was born.

Editor Phyllis Atkinson and her staff pro­duced stories that showed insight into the twisted minds of collegiate youth by highlighting the students’ concerns. Liberals lost congressional power in the election of 1970, graduates weren’t finding jobs after leaving Bellingham and the school’s purse strings were tightly cinched.

Subsequent issues contained …

Welcome to the first issue of Klipsun for 1995. Unfortunately for me, this happens to be my last issue as editor-in-chief, but hey, what an issue to go out on! Both the writing and editorial staffs worked hard to produce this magazine and I think the quality definitely represents their level of commitment.

Klipsun is reaching new levels. With the writing staff digging deep for excellent stories and the editors endlessly tapping their creative juices, the magazine is only get­ ting better. I can only dream of where it can go in the fu­ture. The capabilities are there somewhere within …
