Head line: Hidden Treasures of WSU
Lede: Through the doors of Holland-Terrell Library, into the Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections, and then down a secret elevator you enter a world of history not many students know about.
That is where you will find, a well dressed, complete with a bow tie, Trevor J. Bond, intern head of manuscripts, archives, and special collections also known as MASC.
In total the MASC collection houses about 53,000 rare books and 17,000 linear feet of archives, a linear foot being one box full of documents, therefore one linear foot can hold up to hundreds of papers.
“Yeah it’s a lot of shelving and were just about full downstairs. The University just approved getting another 1800 linear feet and that should hold them over for about five years,” Bond said.
The university acquires its collection from various forms such as alumni, state grants to buy special collections, donations bases on our already existing collections, and other gifts to the university. The university receives about 100 linear feet a year in University Archives and an additional 200 linear feet a year in manuscripts, although they do not take everything they are offered.
The largest gift that is in the process right now of coming in is related to angling fishing.
“The collection holds about fifteen hundred books, and is the largest, most complete, and best collection of its kind, in the country,” Bond said.
This collection includes fragments of first book ever printed about fishing from 1476, The Compleat Angler from 1653, and multiple books from the 17th century.
With such a large collection of valuable manuscripts and documents the university goes to great lengths to protect them.
“They are in a secure, climate controlled environment, and all documents are in acid free folders. We have a complete conservation lab and an active conservationist who repairs, mends, cleans, and makes custom enclosures for the documents,” Bond said.
As society moves more toward a digital world archives and manuscripts are also moving in that direction. With programs such as Griffin, Summit and E-journals, which allow students to see documents digitally, not only at their university but others within the program has made digitalization of archives a key part in making them accessible to students.
“MASC is convenient because it has a wide variety of materials available to WSU students. The materials cover a wide range of time periods. The Woolf library was added to the collection which I think is interesting because Virginia Woolf was such an influential American writer,” Megan Kozarek, a senior was WSU said
With more traffic on the website than in the department digital technology to be very organized and has allowed archives to out into the public sphere more.
When Bond came to WSU there were four collection guides and with the help of technology they have expanded and organized the materials into more than 800 collection guides. With space as a restriction digitalization of works allows for a lot more material to be stored.
“I think that archives and special are going to continue to thrive and become more visible. Libraries are becoming more homogeneous, digitally; UW is the same as WSU as UI the subscriptions are the same so the only thing that will make then more unique will be what they have in house, and so what they inside will set them apart,” Bond said.
As technology advances we adapt and move forward. These archives are a pinnacle part of our history and now though technology can be preserved forever.

Head Line: Saving Families or Tearing Them Apart
“I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want my son’s parents to be married, ” Dan Savage said at debate held at Washington State University on Oct. 20.
Savage is a renowned journalist and voice for gay rights. He and his partner were married in Vancouver, B.C., and have one adopted son. Although they are married, their benefits as Washington state residents do not reflect that due to the current law.
Senate Bill 5688 is the “everything but marriage” law that explains the rights for couples registered under domestic partnership registry.
“SB5688 was already passed by the legislature (capitalize when referring to specific legislature) in 2009. Referendum 71 is in reaction to that bill,” said Ybarra, executive legislative assistant for Senator Sen. Edward B Murray.
Opponents of SB 5688 collected more than 135,000 around 137,689 signatures, which allows this already established law is up for debate and the bill to be put on hold and go to the people for a vote.
“We need to do what’s best for society as a whole, and looking at historical presidencies precedents, that does not include same-sex marriage,” William Stetson, vice president of WSU College Republicans, said at the debate on Oct 20.
“Priority should be given to heterosexual couples,” Stetson said. “ It becomes an issue of society when it marriage is institutionalized and made law.”
Although with Ref 71 marriages are not what is on the ballot
The some of rights Ref 71 are protecting are, labor and employment law, Pensions, including survivor benefits, and other public employee benefits.
Stetson also mentioned the many amendments republicans Republicans proposed, all of which were either withdrawn or failed to be added to the bill. “all of which were … failed to be added to the bill”
“Those amendments are not needed,(run-on sentence) they just stated what the bill was not, and we do not need amendments to say what the bill is not… such as the right of refusal to marry are still reserved so amendment 673 is not needed,” Savage said.
Another argument Conservatives argue propose is the amount of money this the law will be too expensive for the state. In From 2009 to 2011(,) it is expected to cost $606,039, and in from 2011 to 2013 to it will cost $1,856,871.
“These cost are mainly related to the estate tax and public-employee pension and survivorship benefits. And would not go into effect until 2012, in recognition of the state budget’s current downturn,” Ybarra said.
“A couple million is a drop in a bucket when it comes to government spending,” Savage said.

We tell stories in order to understand things. Journalists are there to take in those images and feelings and put them into words to describe them, filter them and perfect them. As a writer we have to shape and distribute what we feel is critical and vital to know. We work and promote one thing till the next big thing.
