Fairweather, I see in a great deal of your posts that you talk a lot about college campuses. Where do you get these "twisted statistics" that the majority of college campuses are these liberal state of minds. Do colleges not make us one of the most educated nations in the world, and would we be as free without these higher institutions of education? If Evergreen or Western always enters your mind, there are not just liberal people on campuses. If these thoughts come from the media, of course they are going to show the "good" stuff people want to hear even if it is a minute part of a college campus, which most of the time it is. You hear about the anti-war protest, but do you hear about the pro-war rallies?

Go to WWU and you could even get a degree in Recreation! My vote would be Western, there is always something to do in terms of recreation and their teaching program is awesome. And you will meet some "interesting" people up here too.

There are a lot of climbers at Western and there isn't an active climbing club or anything for people (freshmen and newbies) to find about others. Are there any people in the area (Bellingham) or at Western that want to get a club going. UW has a pretty active group and it would be awesome to get something going up here.

What are you making fun of Western for? Though it does seem that many liberal and enviromentalist do attend this school, there are a few (may I say a few) that can form thier own opinion and have not been brain washed. But overall, I agree with you Brian.

Was up on SEWS three weeks ago and the couloir was pure ice about 100ft. from the top of the notch (and it was bad ice too.) I assume by now that it is pretty much melted out. I would recommend the S. Arete.
