Hicks On my summer tour of books and recreation I pause at Victoria, the old English city of North America. Princess Louise stands there beckoning with her many flags to help complete the beautiful boat-flecked harbor of Victoria. Reaching down to the wharf the grandeur of Victoria greets you. The gang-plank carries one into full view of the harbor stadium. (Wouldn't I like to be there on evenings when the chorus and bands meet for their concerts over the water!!!) To the right are the parliament buildings •with their, flower-lined lawns, statutes arid fountain: The murals of Captain Cook and other early pioneers decorate the walls of the large corridor. It was after 11:00, so to get to"the senate room before noon meant that I must,go at once. On reaching the senate room which was completely carpeted with huge blue plush rugs, we, host of Arntzen followers, were reminded of the familiar phrase, "left and right wingers'. And did -you have a chance to see the relics of the good ship "Beaver", one of the first on the Pacific coast, and the many other things of interest in the archives of the parliament building? • * » c * I, too, would like a couple of days to see the museum' exhibits. First time I can catch a ferry I shall head directly for those Butchart gardens. "Heavenly" is the way most people have described them for me. Well, my partner and I covered miles in that last hour and then waved farewell with only half our plans realized. Thanks to the recreational committee and to our reliable weather prophet, we had a jolly fine time. • * • * * Two-hundred-eighty-three people of the U. S., motorists, gathered for "The Great Round-up of the Skies" last July Fourth. Do you realize that is an average of six people per state? Washington won a notable record in this regard as we motored safely through the day without a fatality. * » » » « One World War veteran should be given a big hand for the precedent established. I understand that he sent his bonus to the commission for International Peace. It is a proven fact that advertising pays. No doubt the peace commission can use'the price of a great number of bonuses to picture the values of world peace, and if this man's few dollars is.the instrument that will prevent an early break in family ties, I'm sure that he will feel well repaid. * • • * * * I would tell you how to do those tricks of magic of the recent assembly but you have those already figured out? Five dollars to the man who can tell where those eggs and the rabbit went. "What My American Citizenship Means to Me" was the title of the declamation with which Miss Sylvia Karjalainen of Aberdeen, Wash., won the Elks* oratorical contest last week, in a straightforward way she. told of the experiences of herself and her family in Soviet Russia, and /urged others to cling to American freedom. The Aberdeen World., went on to say that Miss Karjalainen was winning something of fame for herself. Her speech was published ifc newspapers throughout the northwest and many people had sent her lettelfc of congratulation, among them Governor Clarence D. Martin.

The play was written and the stage settings and costumes were designed by Miss Eaton. Nine puppets were used. She impersonated five voices and her brother, six. A glimpse into the strange fairyland of FoOzeleum, with the "Ali-gator Bird", really an enchanted Duchess, was the theme of the show. . In reviewing the past NEA convention, Dr. E, A. Bond, Belling-ham Normal's official delegate, considered the panel discussion on education and democracy the most noteworthy. This meeting was opened by Commissioner of Education Dr. Studebaker. Speaking on the necessity for academic freedom Dr. Studebaker stated: "Schools should be free to study any system of government and its working. To withhold facts is not education." Youth Unchanged On attitudes of students, President Bruce Baxter of Willamette university gave an address, mentioning in particular the desirable qualities in young people. With this in mind Mr. Baxter read a passage from an NEA report Of 1904 lamenting the lack of desirable traits of young people in that day. Smilingly, President Baxter said: "Prom this group you came and left tb.e impression that the youth were not superior to those of today." Perfection Bather Than Expansion Stressing the fact that American education is entering a phase of perfecting itself rather than of spending its energies Upon expansion, the convention drew comment from the . Portland Oregonian. "This conservative paper", Dr. Bond says, "disbelieves in the value of the loyalty oaths now on the statute books of 19 states, as they are an example of what legislation might do to the educational system". The main thought brought from the Portland meeting was departure from the present day movement toward gagging teachers and casting pupils into set molds. ^o— One Act Play Will Be Given By Dramatists 'The Valiant* to Be Presented By Former Outstanding .

Speeches Are Given By Normal Teachers •-.At NEA Conference Faculty delegates to the NEA 'convention held in Portland, Ore., last week were: Florence Johnson, dean of women; Leona Sundquist and Ruth Piatt of the Science department; Dr. E. A. Bond of the Mathematics department; Irene Elliott, and Elsie Wendling of the Training school; Lucy Kangley of the English department; Hazel Plympton, of the Art department; Ruth Weythman of the Physical Education department; Nora Cummins of the Social Science depart^ ment; and Herbert C. Ruckmick of the Industrial Arts department. Among the addresses given was one by Miss Kangley who spoke on June 29 in the First Christian church at the National Council of Teachers of English. She chose as her subject, "An Approach to Poetry Appreciation." Dr. Bond represented the Normal at the convention and spoke on the subject of "Present Trends in the Teaching of Arithemetic." "Arithmetic is a coherent, unified science rather than a multiplicity of details. The thread of unity that runs through the whole science should' be recognised at every- step. This is best done by relating facts to experiences," stated Dr. Bond. By Elmer Lindquist With greetings by many dignitaries, the Pacific Northwest Institute of International Relations opened their Id-day conference Monday morning at Reed college, Portland, Oregon. The greetings were rendered by Mr. Estes Snedecor, chairman of 'the institute; Pres. Decter Keeger of Reed College; Mr. Lester Thomas, representative of the mayor of Portland; Anfred Powers, Dean of University of Oregon; and Dr. Lawer-ence.

Military Training or Not Probably the most significant occurence in today's news was an article issued by the American Institute of Public Opinion concerning the Civilian conservation Corps. This bureau conducted a nation-wide poll with the purpose of discerning the public's attitude toward the CCC, Franklin D. Roosevelt's pet New Deal project. The startling* factor in the compilation, directed by Dr. George Gallup of New York City, was not the fact that a majority of voters wished to continue the CCC but rather that an overwhelming part of the voters favored the addition of military training to the men's duties. The actual figures are shown below: Yes No Women -74% 26% Farmers 77 23 Reliefers 78 22 Young People 68 32 College Students 59 41 These results are a revelation to many people who have imagined that the pacifists were firmly entrenched in. our American governmentt It might be well for whose who favor military training in the CCC camps to think further than the • fact that 250,000 men would be added to the standing army. If such an addition of military instruction is carried out, no longer will we be able to scoff at Hitler's militaristic policy or look askance at Mussolini's antagonistic course. It would destroy any benefit derived from the consultations with diplomatic heads of other nations concerning disarmament plans. It would signify our intention of keeping pace with . Germany and Italy and setting the pace for Great Britain, France, and Japan. And most important, it would lower the whole standard upon which our democratic government is based. Can this be the opinion of the people at large? o OUR SOCIAL STUDY GROUP SOMETHING NEW? And friends were glad to call around You greeted with a smile, And friends were glad to call around To stay with me awhile. But lately life has taken on An aspect queer and strange And everybody wonders what Has brought about the change For, I mumble and I mutter As I stroll upon the street And erstwhile friends pass quickly by If we by chance should meet. My eyes are dull and vacant and My mind is in a fog. My voice resembles very much The croaking of a frog. I know you all are wondering Just how this came about, I'll tell you all the secret, But please don't let it out. For really I'm as happy As a baby with the croup, For I'm getting educated in Our Social Study Group. Track, football, and baseball teams have driven their respective ways to either glorious victory or inglorious defeat, many times depending upon the number of the much-needed supporters present in the time-worn stands pictured here— Only too often has that number been not numerous enough to mention. But not only for athletic events has this structure been made use of— Tis said that several times a certain Eveready about school has been focused upon those who chose its idyllic haunts in preference to Sehome or Sunset Heights. Those to his own choosing, so what? Point of View By Harlan Jones In which we attempt to coerce the perogatives of Dante's Inferno as brick-bats to thrust down the craw of the public mind to help masticate some of the illy digested figments of Utopia and Messiahs which ever return to haunt the folk that have too little sand in their Intellectual gizzards. You tell 'em. Being on the spot as you remember, this column is muttering in its heard trying desperately at the last moment to coin a slogan that will save the world for democracy. However, since "Point of View" is much too immersed in water much too deep to have time to aspire for political office this fall, we shall try to be terse. Having dwelt on the third dimen~- sion of human nature, the political idealism of the Football-cast and the PWA scrubs, and this man Ka-gawa, we should like to take a slant at Co-operation. The Bellingham Egg Co-op just makes it tough for the widow with the hen house on the shores of Lake Carnegie. Her Rhode Island Reds hardly have room to cluck on the open market. Good in Bellingham? Yes. Partly a good thing. In Denmark the country villages can paint their roof-trees with the money their producers' co-ops have paid them. Japan, with the help of Kakawa's hundred popular books on co-operatives, which attach themselves to the public mind much as did Tolstoy's, whom he studied. Such as "Grains of Wheat". They have consumer stores. Each member buying his food, or his $1.85 work suit having one vote. Not so in an American corporation for here, where the controlling money lies, so does the vote. Each member there, has a speaking part, but getting back at the end of the month a proportion of what amount he buys. Do you recognize the Grange gas and oil setup? of American democracy. Why not fill the gap of bankruptcy and lack of purchasing power with co-operative stores, and so give the "Civil Liberties League" a break politically? There are very strange bedfellows in this election. —Selected Musing You have probably heard about the consumer of tooth paste who thought the manufacturers put too much moisture in dentifrices. To prove his idea he went into manufacturing and really did produce a tooth paste without any excess moisture in it. But a pair of plyers was needed to get the paste out. We don't know if he is, as yet, convinced that manufacturers of dentifrices make tooth paste moist for a better reason than deception. But we of the teaching profession believe that we had better instill a little more humor into our intellectual students so that future generations can make use of them without getting a sledge hammer to uncover the prodigy's mind. Book Shelf POETRY OF TODAY, by Rosa M. R. Mikels and Grace Shoup; Charles Scribner's Sons. Reviewed by Glen O. Greseth. This is the ariswer to the desire of thousands of poetry lovers to have a pocket-sized anthology of contemporary verse. The selections in "Poetry of Today" are admirably chosen to bring out the adventuring spirit of modern poetry. There are poems'about "excavations, cabbages, tea, skyscrapers, automobiles, and Saturday-night crowds in large cities, blossoms; rivers, sunsets, mountains, and sea-themes that have always appealed to poets; and the age-old problem of love and life." There are poems for all the moods of a sentimentalist on a fishing trip. If he sits buried in retrospection, he will find expression in "Birches" by Robert Frost or the light-hearted reminiscences expressed in "Little Boy Blue" by Eugene Field. If he seeks expression for the beauty of nature let him read "May is Building her House" by Richard Le Gal-lienne or ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 July 10 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Racqueteers To Play Off Games Bodminton and Archery Players Support Favorite Sports Enthusiastically "The tennis tournament schedule has been posted, stated to Miss Luell Weed of the Women's Physical Education department. "The second round matches to be played Monday are between Dohalda Grant and Inez Sjognen; Mary Morrow and May Dillon. One first round match has yet to be played off to determine the other players in the second round". Looking It Over Those eight lanky University of Washington oarsmen and their skipper, Bob Moch, deserve all the credit and publicity they are receiving. It is perhaps the finest crew Washington has ever produced; certainly their cox appears to be the best little admiral. And that's saying a lot, for Washington's crews are known wherever college oars sweep the water. We'll be wishing them all the breaks, and we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for them while they are in Berlin. Archery Popular The enthusiasm expressed by the large number signing up for Archery, Thursday, at 4:00 o'cock has pleased Miss Ruth Weythman of the Physical Education department. Badminton Added Of the Wednesday afternoon sports at 4:00, Miss Weed related, *There was a small but enthusiastic group out for volley ball. No one turned out for baseball. However", Miss Weed continued, "another sport, badminton, was played upon the demand of a group." All bad-} minton enthusiasts are welcome it they furnisft their own birds. They can be bought at the Co-op". According to Miss Weythman of the same department badminton as a sport has increased in popularity at a tremendous rate in the last eight years. Eight years ago there were no teams, at the Normal but now there is a class devoted to teaching the rules and techniques of the game. One of those voices that you heard over CBS last Sunday afternoon had more than a passing interest in the outcome of the crew race. It was none other than Royal Brougham, sports editor for the Seattle PI, making a national name for himself as a radio announcer for the Columbia system. After all, (what is more fitting than that a | sports writer from our own state should announce the victory of a Washington crew? They say that when Washington began to put on the power they gained the space of a man with each stroke of the oars. Your sports editor does not want anyone to fail in his studies, yet he cannot help noting an observed human phenomenon. The day is Wednesday, the time 4:30 in the afternoon, the sky is clear, the weather is not too hot. A much used room in the library is filled to overflowing with Normal school students reading books and taking down notes. Yet near that library are playing fields where softball, volleyball, tennis, and numerous other sports could be enjoyed by those people who are so studiously trying to remember what someone else has written. With such a fine recreational program why study so hard? Of course, everyone knows by now who won the Wimbledon in tennis. But.it is not too late to give Helen Jacobs another big hand for winning that championship. It's a tough, hard grind, all the way to the top. Lappenbusch Plans Invasion Of University Basketball Gym; Return Bout on Local Floor With the WAA Of her badminton class Miss Weed told, "Some fast playing may be seen any morning at 9:00 o'clock in the gym. The class is in the midst of an interesting round robin tournament". Badminton was introduced from India to England around 1873, thence to Canada and the United States. Howdy, WAAers—Art you still WAAing? Do you get your cold shower every morning? Do you Walk five miles every day? (Musi keep that figure down.)

Well, after all, it isnt every month that a great orchestra leader and composer like I sham Jones graces Bellingham with his presence. Isnt that a good reason to-look and feel right ? What.' You re not going? You say you cant go on all these hikes and trips and expect to have money or for your boy friends to have enough ('scuse me, 1 thought WAAers didn't have boy friends) for a dance as expensive as that. I dont blame you too much, as these hikes and trips are keeping me badly bent, too. But isnt a dance exercise? Well, fight it out for yourself. If you ever run out of anything to do, all you athletes, let me tell you of a sport that will fascinate you. Once you get yourself involved you won't be able to give up until 'you absolutely have to announce yourself as licked, and one of Ted Shane's cockeyed crossword puzzles in Liberty surely can do it. Or are you one of those master minds no puzzle can lick? Anyway who cares? When a person has to talk about crossword puzzles on a sport page he had better quit, so I am. School Golf Team Accepts Challenge It will be a first come first place, in the tryouts for the golf team to play the University of Washington team, according to a statement from Coach Chuck Lappenbusch this week. The team will consist of six men. All golfers are urged to report to the coach as soon as possible so that the tryouts can take place right away. The ladder system will be used to pick the six best men to represent the school. "The first man to report will have his name placed at the top of the ladder" said Coach Lappenbusch. "A man can challenge either of the two men directly above him". o Jon High Defeats Carnival Mat-Men Hammett's Hams, Tomco's Tomcats Lead Intramural Basketball First Series Keppler Leads Scoring All Members Kitten Team Score; Second Series Started Jon High, 190-pound junior of WSNS, matched his grappling skill with the carnival mat-men Wednesday night to win two and break even on the third of three consecutive matches.

New Catalog Is Distributed Fisher Points Out New Features Of Interest in Pamphlet for 1936-37 Grade Children Reveal Interest Bushell Trio Offers Musical Selections A musical program featuring the Bushell trio was given in assembly this morning. The trio consists of Arthur Thai, well-known local violinist, and Edith R. Strange and Donald Bushell, members of the Normal school music faculty, who gave an arrangement of selections chosen for their pleasing melodies. Among the outstanding numbers were the last three movements of the Arensky melody, and sentimental sketches by Mason. Daniel Gregory Mason, according to Mr. Bushell, is famous for his writings on music as well as for his compositions. Barbara Kennedy of Beverly Hall has accepted a position as camp councillor for the Girl Scout Camp at Lost Lake, Elma. She left- Thursday to take up her new duties which will last throughout the summer camping season. Announcing the arrival of the new catalogue which has just come from the printers, President C. H. Fisher described some of the new features which will add to the interest and information of the book. Under the head of general education there is a paragraph on courses for nurses. "Beginning with the au-for nurses. "Beginning with the au-pursue a course in nursing will be required by the State Department of licenses to have one year of college work before they will be allowed in an accredited school for nurses. Courses in anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, hygiene, and nursing education totaling 23 quarter hour credits will be required. The State Normal school at Bell-ingham has been authorized to offer this work and will enroll students beginning in the autumn of 1936, according to the catalogue. "There is also a revision of courses for teacher librarians that brings these courses up to date, according to the standard set by the American Library association", Fisher commented. o Isham Jones to Play Under Curtis Auspices At State Armory Today Isham Jones and his orchestra, famous on the screen and known to all radio listeners, will be at the State Armory tonight. This appearance is sponsored by Jay Curtis, local orchestra leader, who has brought many famous dance bands to Bellingham the past few years. Jones and his boys have played in such leading hotels as the Ambassador in Atlantic City and the Ritz- Carlton in the famous New- Jersey shore resort. "I'll See You in My Dreams", "It Had to Be You", "Spain", "Indiana Moon", "If You Were Only Mine", "I Can't Believe It's True", and "Let's Try Again" are some of the popular tunes Isham Jones has composed. In addition, the recordings of this orchestra are extremely popular. InM agic Lore Audience Mystified by Oranges, Bunnies Drawn, Apparently, From the Air Older Students Skeptical Second Grader Believes Jones Member of Troupe "Are those oranges real?" "Was that a magic bunny?" were some of the questions of the primary training school children after they visited the Friday morning assembly at which Paul Fleming entertained with magic. The first grade child who received an orange from Mr. Fleming felt it, turned it over, and Wouldn't believe it was real until it was opened and the real juice came out. The children in the kindergarten were proud of their representative who was an assistant to Mr. Fleming, but they couldn't imagine how the rabbit was concealed in the little boy's sweater. After a discussion of magic in the second grade, the children put the following statement in their newspaper, "The magician's hands moved so much faster than we could see, so it seemed it was magic really". Another second grade child asked if Harlan Jones were one of the magician's troupe. Third, fourth, and fifth graders expressed curiosity about the magic, but one fifth grade girl said, "I don't believe a bit of it. It really isn't magic". The upper grades took balcony seats from which they could see much of the wiring and use of properties. o Local Normal Student Northwest Indian Queen Librarian Gets Testing Bulletin New Publication Aids Students; Plans for Examinations Are Given "Standard Testing and Remedial Work", a new bulletin compiled by Miss Jeannette Donaldson, supervisor, upper grades and junior high school of the State Department of Instruction, has been received by "Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, librarian. It is Miss Wilson's opinion that this bulletin offers much worthwhile material for the teacher, and that Miss Donaldson should be praised for her organization. A standard testing plan, a remedial program, and information on the new plan for state examinations in the elementary schools are all considered in this bulletin. Some of the more specific items included are: "The General Principles and Points of View"; "The Necessity of Pupil Guidance"; '"The Favorable Outcomes of the Standard Testing Plan'; "Acceleration and Retardation"; "The Elementary Library and the Remedial Program"; and "Pro cedures Helpful in Reducing Pupil Failures".

Hicks On my summer tour of books and recreation I pause at Victoria, the old English city of North America. Princess Louise stands there beckoning with her many flags to help complete the beautiful boat-flecked harbor of Victoria. Reaching down to the wharf the grandeur of Victoria greets you. The gang-plank carries one into full view of the harbor stadium. (Wouldn't I like to be there on evenings when the chorus and bands meet for their concerts over the water!!!) To the right are the parliament buildings •with their, flower-lined lawns, statutes arid fountain: The murals of Captain Cook and other early pioneers decorate the walls of the large corridor. It was after 11:00, so to get to"the senate room before noon meant that I must,go at once. On reaching the senate room which was completely carpeted with huge blue plush rugs, we, host of Arntzen followers, were reminded of the familiar phrase, "left and right wingers'. And did -you have a chance to see the relics of the good ship "Beaver", one of the first on the Pacific coast, and the many other things of interest in the archives of the parliament building? • * » c * I, too, would like a couple of days to see the museum' exhibits. First time I can catch a ferry I shall head directly for those Butchart gardens. "Heavenly" is the way most people have described them for me. Well, my partner and I covered miles in that last hour and then waved farewell with only half our plans realized. Thanks to the recreational committee and to our reliable weather prophet, we had a jolly fine time. • * • * * Two-hundred-eighty-three people of the U. S., motorists, gathered for "The Great Round-up of the Skies" last July Fourth. Do you realize that is an average of six people per state? Washington won a notable record in this regard as we motored safely through the day without a fatality. * » » » « One World War veteran should be given a big hand for the precedent established. I understand that he sent his bonus to the commission for International Peace. It is a proven fact that advertising pays. No doubt the peace commission can use'the price of a great number of bonuses to picture the values of world peace, and if this man's few dollars is.the instrument that will prevent an early break in family ties, I'm sure that he will feel well repaid. * • • * * * I would tell you how to do those tricks of magic of the recent assembly but you have those already figured out? Five dollars to the man who can tell where those eggs and the rabbit went. "What My American Citizenship Means to Me" was the title of the declamation with which Miss Sylvia Karjalainen of Aberdeen, Wash., won the Elks* oratorical contest last week, in a straightforward way she. told of the experiences of herself and her family in Soviet Russia, and /urged others to cling to American freedom. The Aberdeen World., went on to say that Miss Karjalainen was winning something of fame for herself. Her speech was published ifc newspapers throughout the northwest and many people had sent her lettelfc of congratulation, among them Governor Clarence D. Martin. Normal Alpine Enthusiasts To Visit Mountains Hikers' Destinations Lake Ann and Chain Lakes; Austin Pass Headquarters Normal hike enthusiasts will leave the knoll at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning bound for an outing at Heather meadows, Mount Baker. Some will drive up in private cars while others will ride in a bus chartered for the occasion. Those going are asked to bring lunch and a cup. Low heel shoes and ordinary hiking clothes will serve for the trip. High top boots with calks or corks will not be necessary. The trip will cost $1.50. Hikers will make their headquarters "for the day at Austin pass. Prom there, those interested will hike to Chain lakes and to Lake Ann. Miss Elizabeth Hopper, of the Normal appointment bureau, will lead the hike to Chain lakes. The hike to Chain lakes is about 6 miles long and the trail goes around Mount Herman. Lake Ann is located on an arm of Mount Shuksan and the territory around it is said to offer good opportunity for those who desire to take pictures. Lake Ann is the usual starting point for hikes up Mount Shuksan. -6 Freshmen Girls Given Hints In Self Starter Bond Reviews Recent Oregon NEA Meeting Considers Panel Discussion Education, Democracy Most Noteworthy on T oday's Youth Upheld Convention, as Whole, Opposed to "Set Mold" Methods Relations Glub Opens Meeting With Greetings Ten Day Conference Is Attended By Seven Representatives From Normal What to wear and when to wear it are two of the many questions answered for freshman girls in the new Self Starter. Giving the low-down on school life, the book is designed to help entering women adapt themselves quickly to the college program, Katheryn Hatch and Beverly Holiday have edited the 1935-36 edition. Several linoleum cuts were contributed by Jean Hatch, while Bob White, Lucille Lee, Helen Hos-tetter, Helen Boothe. and Carol Hughes assisted with the writing. It was printed by R. D. Wilson, school printer. Greetings from Dean Florence E. Johnson, and Mary Jane Moergeli, president of the Women's League, open the book. Besides explaining school and house rules; a section is devoted to the problem of finances. Traditional social functions such as mixers and informais are also ex plained. — o Pratt Institute Students Presented Puppet Show "The Witches' Enchantment", a puppet show, was given Wednesday afternoon and evening at the Guild Playhouse, by Midgie Eaton and her"brother, Johnnie, graduates of the Pratt Institute of New York city. The play was written and the stage settings and costumes were designed by Miss Eaton. Nine puppets were used. She impersonated five voices and her brother, six. A glimpse into the strange fairyland of FoOzeleum, with the "Ali-gator Bird", really an enchanted Duchess, was the theme of the show. . In reviewing the past NEA convention, Dr. E, A. Bond, Belling-ham Normal's official delegate, considered the panel discussion on education and democracy the most noteworthy. This meeting was opened by Commissioner of Education Dr. Studebaker. Speaking on the necessity for academic freedom Dr. Studebaker stated: "Schools should be free to study any system of government and its working. To withhold facts is not education." Youth Unchanged On attitudes of students, President Bruce Baxter of Willamette university gave an address, mentioning in particular the desirable qualities in young people. With this in mind Mr. Baxter read a passage from an NEA report Of 1904 lamenting the lack of desirable traits of young people in that day. Smilingly, President Baxter said: "Prom this group you came and left tb.e impression that the youth were not superior to those of today." Perfection Bather Than Expansion Stressing the fact that American education is entering a phase of perfecting itself rather than of spending its energies Upon expansion, the convention drew comment from the . Portland Oregonian. "This conservative paper", Dr. Bond says, "disbelieves in the value of the loyalty oaths now on the statute books of 19 states, as they are an example of what legislation might do to the educational system". The main thought brought from the Portland meeting was departure from the present day movement toward gagging teachers and casting pupils into set molds. ^o— One Act Play Will Be Given By Dramatists 'The Valiant* to Be Presented By Former Outstanding . Actors "•'•1 Several of the girls of Beverly hall spent the week-end at their homes, among whom were: Dorothy Harwell, Monroe; Helen Gaddis, Sedro-Woolley; Miriam Sisson, Mount Vernon; Grace Emmans, and Helen Neely, Everett; Helen Ferry, man, Mount Vernon; and Gyneth White, Shelton. Speeches Are Given By Normal Teachers •-.At NEA Conference Faculty delegates to the NEA 'convention held in Portland, Ore., last week were: Florence Johnson, dean of women; Leona Sundquist and Ruth Piatt of the Science department; Dr. E. A. Bond of the Mathematics department; Irene Elliott, and Elsie Wendling of the Training school; Lucy Kangley of the English department; Hazel Plympton, of the Art department; Ruth Weythman of the Physical Education department; Nora Cummins of the Social Science depart^ ment; and Herbert C. Ruckmick of the Industrial Arts department. Among the addresses given was one by Miss Kangley who spoke on June 29 in the First Christian church at the National Council of Teachers of English. She chose as her subject, "An Approach to Poetry Appreciation." Dr. Bond represented the Normal at the convention and spoke on the subject of "Present Trends in the Teaching of Arithemetic." "Arithmetic is a coherent, unified science rather than a multiplicity of details. The thread of unity that runs through the whole science should' be recognised at every- step. This is best done by relating facts to experiences," stated Dr. Bond. By Elmer Lindquist With greetings by many dignitaries, the Pacific Northwest Institute of International Relations opened their Id-day conference Monday morning at Reed college, Portland, Oregon. The greetings were rendered by Mr. Estes Snedecor, chairman of 'the institute; Pres. Decter Keeger of Reed College; Mr. Lester Thomas, representative of the mayor of Portland; Anfred Powers, Dean of University of Oregon; and Dr. Lawer-ence. Wilson, representative of the Congregational Council for Social Action. Anderson Gives keynote Speech In the keynote address of the Institute, Dr. Elam J. Anderson of and methods of the Institute. Linfield college, explained the aims Round table discision group groups were organized in the afternoon. The subjects to be discussed are: American security and world organization, problems of Latin America, the collective system and the enforcement of peace, the far East relations, the problems of population, raw materials and markets, national politics and international relations, peace from a spiritual point of view. A Bellingham Normal student is represented in each of the discussion groups. One round table is to be held at a different time from the others because it is felt that it is of a special significance to everyone. It is the discussion of Methods in Popular Education and Peace Action. . o •* , Music Club Sponsors Home Coming Recital Young Bellingham musicians home for vacation after teaching and studying in New York, Chicago, and Seattle for a year, will give a joint recital Tuesday, July 14, at the Garden Street Methodist church.

Military Training or Not Probably the most significant occurence in today's news was an article issued by the American Institute of Public Opinion concerning the Civilian conservation Corps. This bureau conducted a nation-wide poll with the purpose of discerning the public's attitude toward the CCC, Franklin D. Roosevelt's pet New Deal project. The startling* factor in the compilation, directed by Dr. George Gallup of New York City, was not the fact that a majority of voters wished to continue the CCC but rather that an overwhelming part of the voters favored the addition of military training to the men's duties. The actual figures are shown below: Yes No Women -74% 26% Farmers 77 23 Reliefers 78 22 Young People 68 32 College Students 59 41 These results are a revelation to many people who have imagined that the pacifists were firmly entrenched in. our American governmentt It might be well for whose who favor military training in the CCC camps to think further than the • fact that 250,000 men would be added to the standing army. If such an addition of military instruction is carried out, no longer will we be able to scoff at Hitler's militaristic policy or look askance at Mussolini's antagonistic course. It would destroy any benefit derived from the consultations with diplomatic heads of other nations concerning disarmament plans. It would signify our intention of keeping pace with . Germany and Italy and setting the pace for Great Britain, France, and Japan. And most important, it would lower the whole standard upon which our democratic government is based. Can this be the opinion of the people at large? o OUR SOCIAL STUDY GROUP SOMETHING NEW? And friends were glad to call around You greeted with a smile, And friends were glad to call around To stay with me awhile. But lately life has taken on An aspect queer and strange And everybody wonders what Has brought about the change For, I mumble and I mutter As I stroll upon the street And erstwhile friends pass quickly by If we by chance should meet. My eyes are dull and vacant and My mind is in a fog. My voice resembles very much The croaking of a frog. I know you all are wondering Just how this came about, I'll tell you all the secret, But please don't let it out. For really I'm as happy As a baby with the croup, For I'm getting educated in Our Social Study Group. Track, football, and baseball teams have driven their respective ways to either glorious victory or inglorious defeat, many times depending upon the number of the much-needed supporters present in the time-worn stands pictured here— Only too often has that number been not numerous enough to mention. But not only for athletic events has this structure been made use of— Tis said that several times a certain Eveready about school has been focused upon those who chose its idyllic haunts in preference to Sehome or Sunset Heights. Those to his own choosing, so what? Point of View By Harlan Jones In which we attempt to coerce the perogatives of Dante's Inferno as brick-bats to thrust down the craw of the public mind to help masticate some of the illy digested figments of Utopia and Messiahs which ever return to haunt the folk that have too little sand in their Intellectual gizzards. You tell 'em. Being on the spot as you remember, this column is muttering in its heard trying desperately at the last moment to coin a slogan that will save the world for democracy. However, since "Point of View" is much too immersed in water much too deep to have time to aspire for political office this fall, we shall try to be terse. Having dwelt on the third dimen~- sion of human nature, the political idealism of the Football-cast and the PWA scrubs, and this man Ka-gawa, we should like to take a slant at Co-operation. The Bellingham Egg Co-op just makes it tough for the widow with the hen house on the shores of Lake Carnegie. Her Rhode Island Reds hardly have room to cluck on the open market. Good in Bellingham? Yes. Partly a good thing. In Denmark the country villages can paint their roof-trees with the money their producers' co-ops have paid them. Japan, with the help of Kakawa's hundred popular books on co-operatives, which attach themselves to the public mind much as did Tolstoy's, whom he studied. Such as "Grains of Wheat". They have consumer stores. Each member buying his food, or his $1.85 work suit having one vote. Not so in an American corporation for here, where the controlling money lies, so does the vote. Each member there, has a speaking part, but getting back at the end of the month a proportion of what amount he buys. Do you recognize the Grange gas and oil setup? of American democracy. Why not fill the gap of bankruptcy and lack of purchasing power with co-operative stores, and so give the "Civil Liberties League" a break politically? There are very strange bedfellows in this election. —Selected Musing You have probably heard about the consumer of tooth paste who thought the manufacturers put too much moisture in dentifrices. To prove his idea he went into manufacturing and really did produce a tooth paste without any excess moisture in it. But a pair of plyers was needed to get the paste out. We don't know if he is, as yet, convinced that manufacturers of dentifrices make tooth paste moist for a better reason than deception. But we of the teaching profession believe that we had better instill a little more humor into our intellectual students so that future generations can make use of them without getting a sledge hammer to uncover the prodigy's mind. Book Shelf POETRY OF TODAY, by Rosa M. R. Mikels and Grace Shoup; Charles Scribner's Sons. Reviewed by Glen O. Greseth. This is the ariswer to the desire of thousands of poetry lovers to have a pocket-sized anthology of contemporary verse. The selections in "Poetry of Today" are admirably chosen to bring out the adventuring spirit of modern poetry. There are poems'about "excavations, cabbages, tea, skyscrapers, automobiles, and Saturday-night crowds in large cities, blossoms; rivers, sunsets, mountains, and sea-themes that have always appealed to poets; and the age-old problem of love and life." There are poems for all the moods of a sentimentalist on a fishing trip. If he sits buried in retrospection, he will find expression in "Birches" by Robert Frost or the light-hearted reminiscences expressed in "Little Boy Blue" by Eugene Field. If he seeks expression for the beauty of nature let him read "May is Building her House" by Richard Le Gal-lienne or ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 July 10 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Racqueteers To Play Off Games Bodminton and Archery Players Support Favorite Sports Enthusiastically "The tennis tournament schedule has been posted, stated to Miss Luell Weed of the Women's Physical Education department. "The second round matches to be played Monday are between Dohalda Grant and Inez Sjognen; Mary Morrow and May Dillon. One first round match has yet to be played off to determine the other players in the second round". Looking It Over Those eight lanky University of Washington oarsmen and their skipper, Bob Moch, deserve all the credit and publicity they are receiving. It is perhaps the finest crew Washington has ever produced; certainly their cox appears to be the best little admiral. And that's saying a lot, for Washington's crews are known wherever college oars sweep the water. We'll be wishing them all the breaks, and we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for them while they are in Berlin. Archery Popular The enthusiasm expressed by the large number signing up for Archery, Thursday, at 4:00 o'cock has pleased Miss Ruth Weythman of the Physical Education department. Badminton Added Of the Wednesday afternoon sports at 4:00, Miss Weed related, *There was a small but enthusiastic group out for volley ball. No one turned out for baseball. However", Miss Weed continued, "another sport, badminton, was played upon the demand of a group." All bad-} minton enthusiasts are welcome it they furnisft their own birds. They can be bought at the Co-op". According to Miss Weythman of the same department badminton as a sport has increased in popularity at a tremendous rate in the last eight years. Eight years ago there were no teams, at the Normal but now there is a class devoted to teaching the rules and techniques of the game. One of those voices that you heard over CBS last Sunday afternoon had more than a passing interest in the outcome of the crew race. It was none other than Royal Brougham, sports editor for the Seattle PI, making a national name for himself as a radio announcer for the Columbia system. After all, (what is more fitting than that a | sports writer from our own state should announce the victory of a Washington crew? They say that when Washington began to put on the power they gained the space of a man with each stroke of the oars. Your sports editor does not want anyone to fail in his studies, yet he cannot help noting an observed human phenomenon. The day is Wednesday, the time 4:30 in the afternoon, the sky is clear, the weather is not too hot. A much used room in the library is filled to overflowing with Normal school students reading books and taking down notes. Yet near that library are playing fields where softball, volleyball, tennis, and numerous other sports could be enjoyed by those people who are so studiously trying to remember what someone else has written. With such a fine recreational program why study so hard? Of course, everyone knows by now who won the Wimbledon in tennis. But.it is not too late to give Helen Jacobs another big hand for winning that championship. It's a tough, hard grind, all the way to the top. Lappenbusch Plans Invasion Of University Basketball Gym; Return Bout on Local Floor With the WAA Of her badminton class Miss Weed told, "Some fast playing may be seen any morning at 9:00 o'clock in the gym. The class is in the midst of an interesting round robin tournament". Badminton was introduced from India to England around 1873, thence to Canada and the United States. Howdy, WAAers—Art you still WAAing? Do you get your cold shower every morning? Do you Walk five miles every day? (Musi keep that figure down.)

Well, after all, it isnt every month that a great orchestra leader and composer like I sham Jones graces Bellingham with his presence. Isnt that a good reason to-look and feel right ? What.' You re not going? You say you cant go on all these hikes and trips and expect to have money or for your boy friends to have enough ('scuse me, 1 thought WAAers didn't have boy friends) for a dance as expensive as that. I dont blame you too much, as these hikes and trips are keeping me badly bent, too. But isnt a dance exercise? Well, fight it out for yourself. If you ever run out of anything to do, all you athletes, let me tell you of a sport that will fascinate you. Once you get yourself involved you won't be able to give up until 'you absolutely have to announce yourself as licked, and one of Ted Shane's cockeyed crossword puzzles in Liberty surely can do it. Or are you one of those master minds no puzzle can lick? Anyway who cares? When a person has to talk about crossword puzzles on a sport page he had better quit, so I am. School Golf Team Accepts Challenge It will be a first come first place, in the tryouts for the golf team to play the University of Washington team, according to a statement from Coach Chuck Lappenbusch this week. The team will consist of six men. All golfers are urged to report to the coach as soon as possible so that the tryouts can take place right away. The ladder system will be used to pick the six best men to represent the school. "The first man to report will have his name placed at the top of the ladder" said Coach Lappenbusch. "A man can challenge either of the two men directly above him". o Jon High Defeats Carnival Mat-Men Hammett's Hams, Tomco's Tomcats Lead Intramural Basketball First Series Keppler Leads Scoring All Members Kitten Team Score; Second Series Started Jon High, 190-pound junior of WSNS, matched his grappling skill with the carnival mat-men Wednesday night to win two and break even on the third of three consecutive matches.

New Catalog Is Distributed Fisher Points Out New Features Of Interest in Pamphlet for 1936-37 Grade Children Reveal Interest Bushell Trio Offers Musical Selections A musical program featuring the Bushell trio was given in assembly this morning. The trio consists of Arthur Thai, well-known local violinist, and Edith R. Strange and Donald Bushell, members of the Normal school music faculty, who gave an arrangement of selections chosen for their pleasing melodies. Among the outstanding numbers were the last three movements of the Arensky melody, and sentimental sketches by Mason. Daniel Gregory Mason, according to Mr. Bushell, is famous for his writings on music as well as for his compositions. Barbara Kennedy of Beverly Hall has accepted a position as camp councillor for the Girl Scout Camp at Lost Lake, Elma. She left- Thursday to take up her new duties which will last throughout the summer camping season. Announcing the arrival of the new catalogue which has just come from the printers, President C. H. Fisher described some of the new features which will add to the interest and information of the book. Under the head of general education there is a paragraph on courses for nurses. "Beginning with the au-for nurses. "Beginning with the au-pursue a course in nursing will be required by the State Department of licenses to have one year of college work before they will be allowed in an accredited school for nurses. Courses in anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, hygiene, and nursing education totaling 23 quarter hour credits will be required. The State Normal school at Bell-ingham has been authorized to offer this work and will enroll students beginning in the autumn of 1936, according to the catalogue. "There is also a revision of courses for teacher librarians that brings these courses up to date, according to the standard set by the American Library association", Fisher commented. o Isham Jones to Play Under Curtis Auspices At State Armory Today Isham Jones and his orchestra, famous on the screen and known to all radio listeners, will be at the State Armory tonight. This appearance is sponsored by Jay Curtis, local orchestra leader, who has brought many famous dance bands to Bellingham the past few years. Jones and his boys have played in such leading hotels as the Ambassador in Atlantic City and the Ritz- Carlton in the famous New- Jersey shore resort. "I'll See You in My Dreams", "It Had to Be You", "Spain", "Indiana Moon", "If You Were Only Mine", "I Can't Believe It's True", and "Let's Try Again" are some of the popular tunes Isham Jones has composed. In addition, the recordings of this orchestra are extremely popular. InM agic Lore Audience Mystified by Oranges, Bunnies Drawn, Apparently, From the Air Older Students Skeptical Second Grader Believes Jones Member of Troupe "Are those oranges real?" "Was that a magic bunny?" were some of the questions of the primary training school children after they visited the Friday morning assembly at which Paul Fleming entertained with magic. The first grade child who received an orange from Mr. Fleming felt it, turned it over, and Wouldn't believe it was real until it was opened and the real juice came out. The children in the kindergarten were proud of their representative who was an assistant to Mr. Fleming, but they couldn't imagine how the rabbit was concealed in the little boy's sweater. After a discussion of magic in the second grade, the children put the following statement in their newspaper, "The magician's hands moved so much faster than we could see, so it seemed it was magic really". Another second grade child asked if Harlan Jones were one of the magician's troupe. Third, fourth, and fifth graders expressed curiosity about the magic, but one fifth grade girl said, "I don't believe a bit of it. It really isn't magic". The upper grades took balcony seats from which they could see much of the wiring and use of properties. o Local Normal Student Northwest Indian Queen Librarian Gets Testing Bulletin New Publication Aids Students; Plans for Examinations Are Given "Standard Testing and Remedial Work", a new bulletin compiled by Miss Jeannette Donaldson, supervisor, upper grades and junior high school of the State Department of Instruction, has been received by "Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, librarian. It is Miss Wilson's opinion that this bulletin offers much worthwhile material for the teacher, and that Miss Donaldson should be praised for her organization. A standard testing plan, a remedial program, and information on the new plan for state examinations in the elementary schools are all considered in this bulletin. Some of the more specific items included are: "The General Principles and Points of View"; "The Necessity of Pupil Guidance"; '"The Favorable Outcomes of the Standard Testing Plan'; "Acceleration and Retardation"; "The Elementary Library and the Remedial Program"; and "Pro cedures Helpful in Reducing Pupil Failures". Miss Donaldson also gives reading references and aids for professional use.

There is considerable to be said on both sides. If you are to deny-them/the right to assemble, you at once destrby the fundamental concept of democracy. On the other hand, why should they be allowed to hold meetings in order to discuss ways of bringing about the downfall of our government as it is today? Is it right that we should give the Nazis and others or similar ilk free rein in spreading "their propaganda in this country? The people who espouse the cause of the Nazis claim that the father of our country, George Washington, would have been the first to help them. Maybe so,r but we rather doubt that George would have given the Hessians the right to use Madison Square Garden for their meetings. , SPRINGTIME * Well, another quarter has come and gone. It seems as though we were just starting a couple of weeks ago, or does it? The spectre of examinations has departed. By now you know how little you really did know. You wish that you had lived up to that promise that you made the folks at Christmas when you so' rashly said you'd study at least - two hours every night. Ah well, cheer up, youcan try all over again Spring quarter. There are many things to be around for this spring, not the least of which are Campus day, our quarterly fire drill, and last, but not least, sowing .wild oats on top of Sehome hill in the moonlight. Ah yes, the good old springtime! The highways between here and Seattle will again be black with WWC hitch-hikers. SOMETHING NEW * You may have seen the article in the papers recently that told of a letter received from a small girl by the General Electric company of Schenectady, New York. It ran something as follows: "Dear Sirs If you are not too busy, and it would not be too much trouble, could you please send me a small sample of electricity. We are studying it in geography." Needless to say, the General Electric engineers were completely stymied. Such ignorance is easily overlooked in children, but it is surprising to see supposedly well-informed grown-ups who aren't exactly up on their toes about well-known facts. For instance, an English instructor in this school naively remarked last week that Kipling's "Gunga Din" was laid in the country of Armenia at the time of the battle with the Turks, following the World war! We omiAhe name of the teacher for obvious reasons. MAGIC MAYBE? The Spanish war rages on, only it's a three-way fight now. The Republicans will soon be split up into so many different factions that the whole thing will resemble the recently adjourned Washington state legislature.. However, Franco looks as though he will probably get the best of the fight.1 At the outbreak of the war, some of the-boys swore that they wouldn't shave until Franco won. A number of them have nice fur coats now. Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain, and many others, too few to mention are beginning to take a profound interest in the affairs of "New Spain." It is indeed a shame that the secrets of the late Houdini were buried with him, because now poor Franco will have to escape from the hands of his friends as best he can. Baseball Passes Test In College Survey ^ By Smiley Hall "Do you want baseball as a sport in W W C ? " This was one of the questions submitted in the baseball questionnaire recently distributed among the students here, in which 70 per cent voted "yes," while 30 per cent voted the contrary. The question, "Which do you prefer, baseball or track?" was answered 60-40 in favor of baseball. The students also agreed by an almost unanimous vote, 97 per cent to 3 per cent that the men in this school, training to be coaches, miss something by not having baseball in the school. No matter what outcome the poll reveals, the chances of having basenail in the school this year are very, very slim, but the opinion of the students may be given a, more serious' thought next year or in years to come. Much depends upon whether WWC will be allotted any of the added funds appropriated by the recently retired legislature for its athletic field. This will probably remain a secret until a later date. Co-op Consignment Plan Explained by Forcl By Charles Horel Sam Ford, Associated Students Co-op manager, announced Tuesday the Co-op is now working oh a three-way turn-in plan for books. Books may be turned in under the old plan of one-half the former value in cash, or students may obtain credit slips for three-fourths of the value, to be obtained in merchandise other than text books. Credit slips are good any time in tlje future. The new plan is the consignment system, under which the student gives the book to the Co-op to be sold and the store takes 25 cents commission oh each book. The idea was tried in WWC in 1931 after Sam Ford had taken a trip East during which he inspected over thirty bookstores. He found the consignment system in use in most of them. The commission in the East is based on the number of students in the college. If the college has under 1,000 students, the store charges 25 cents per book; between 1,000 and 1,500 enrollment, 20 cents; between 1,500/ and 3,000, 15 cents; over'3,000, 10 cents. In 1931 when the system was here only/three bcwks were turned m, so the plan was not publicized much. ; " W e have tried to train the studente to trade their books for merchandise," said Sam. were turned in for cre lt;Ut slir« last quarter.

XXXVHI-^NQ. 23 Attends Convention Prexy Returns To WWC President Fisher Represents College at Association Meet; First State Normal Discussed By Lyman Handy President Fisher returned to WWC last Monday after an absence of several weeks, during which he attended a meeting of representatives of the, American Association of Teacher's colleges in Cleveland, Ohio. This meeting was larger than any educational convention to be held in the United States this year. President Fisher estimated that at least 10,000 people attended. Committee Meets Prior to the meeting of the association, the accrediting committee, of which Mr. Fisher is a member, held a two-day session. The committee busied itself reviewing reports of inspections from colleges applying for accreditation. Re-inspections of accredited schools were also studied. The program at the convention, in the opinion of the president, was unusually good this year. He was particularly interested in the discussion of the place of general education in a program of teacher training. One of the uppermost subjects of the association was the methods of improving teaching personnel.

Marquis, former dean of men and instructor in the department of education, has returned to WWC. : Leaving on December 24 of last year because of poor health, Mr. Marquis journeyed eastward to the Mayo clinic where he underwent a successful operation at the Colonial hospital in Rochester, Minn.

With finals almost over and the registrar's office working double time making out report cards, let's take a look at the calendar to see what the "brighter side" of college life has to offer next quarter. Before fully recovering from the effects of ten days at home spring activities will be officially opened with the AH School Mixer, Friday, March 31. W club will sponsor their much-looked- forward-to informal, Friday evening, AprU 8, followed by the WAA ski trip to Mount Baker the ninth. April 15 marks the date of the Associated Women's spring dance. Blue Triangle promises to produce their postponed Ella Cinders theater party, Tuesday, April 18, leaving the freshmen to close the month's events with a party Saturday, April 22. . From this date until the middle of May there are no scheduled events on the calendar, but with an unaccounted Valkyrie informal, both the sophomore and junior parties, numerous .WAA events, the Edens hall fried chicken dinner on Sunset hill, as well as many club picnics, and cruises, these week-ends will undoubtedly be filled with activity. ... or arrmus ComingSoori Legislature 5es nat^s erations $445,000 To Be Used for Salaries and Wages; $75,000 Granted for Operations; Improvements Depend Upon Amount Available in State Treasury Eminent Concert Violinist^Will Give Recital Here March 2fl By Bob Chamberlain Coming as the third attraction of the Civic Music association will be Nathan Milstein, brilliant Russian violinist who will be heard in a recital here on Tuesday, March 28, at the Belfingham high school auditorium. Due to the fact that this recital comes so soon after vacation no special tickets will be issued, but all college students of WWCE, will be admitted by presenting theirSpring^uarter'activity cards at the door at the recital. Milstein was born in Odessa, December 31, 1904. He survived the revolution, and at 19 toured Russia with a close friend of his own age, destined to become one of the great piano talents/of the, generation, Vladimir Horowitz. gt;• • Exiled , In 1925 Milstein was obliged to leave Russia. Even his beloved Guadagnini had to be left behind. He arrived in Paris with no violin, no money, .no connections. : It was only for.'a short time, however,' before a backer appeared for a debut concert. Another patron loaned him a Stradivarius.

Editorials By Evan Hill Dangerous Road Blamed On College Spirit College spirit has always been blamed and commended for a variety of things. When the frosh bonfire burned to the ground two years ago on the night before it was supposed to have happened, the college said, "Well, that's college for you." And they accepted it as such. . A visitor in the dorm who perchance saw the inside of some of the inhabitants* rooms would find further relics of "college spirit." Signs, banners, road directions, menus, directions, pictures, all "swiped" or else they would; not have that particular collegiate flavour, decorate the walls and tables. More spirit. When Harvard men hung a red flag on the flag pole in front of the Supreme court building in Washington, D. C, that was more spirit. The public has become accustomed to such, pranks; they accept them as an outlet for excess energy, better diverted that way than in other more shady ways. BUT EVEN THE TOLERANT PUBLIC GETS DISGUSTED AT SOME OF THE SO-CALLED "SPIRIT." And a case at which the public is thoroughly disgusted, and one which happened on this very campus is that of the vandals who "swiped" the Closed Road sign on the road in from the PE building. The road had been partially repaired, and not quite finished. The last two-thirds, especially around the parking area, had not even been touched yet. Dangerous ground for gt;even a caterpillar tractor to try to manipulate, the missing Closed Road sign has allowed students to attempt to drive and park in the danger area. College spirit! THAT ROAD NEEDS THAT SIGN! PLEASE PUT ONE THERE! V V Warning to Englishmen The poor condition of the road is dangerous to the welfare of the school. Some Austin will drive into one of the holes, disappear, and leave the school with a law suit . . . either that or a salvage job. V V Each Year Makes It More Difficult For another year WWC will be without a baseball team, for some buck-passing reason or another. Another year will pass by, making it harder for a team to be re-organized. What kind of coaches can the PE department turn out without including baseball in the curriculum? V V Experimenter Sticks Neck Out The apparently unhealthy financial condition of the Co-op has inspired a new system of book exchange that has been in effect since 1931. The students then, according to Sam Ford, bookstore manager, responded so avidly to the system that he traded all of three books by the new system. Perhaps conditions have changed since then. Ingall's experiment will show us. : .^ V . - . ' V -. Now You Know Whom to Blame An innovation is die Collegian's putting by-lines on every story this issue.

Why should some teachers make one afraid of them; why should they make their students so afraid that the only response they get is a weak "No, ma'am"? Everyone wants to like his teachers and with very little encouragement and a good disposition on the teacher's part they have a loving and responsive class. It's true, too. The proof being in classes where the teachers are nice. Students can sympathize with instructors for they must undergo a tremendous strain to keep their temper when the class wit or dumbwit misbehaves. But students restrain their tempers, too. For where it would be all right for the teacher to discipline the student, it is a little irregular for the students to discipline the teacher. A FRESHMAN, Southwestern, Oklahoma Junior College.

A University of Alabama student answered a particularly diffiicult question in a mid-term test this way—"I don't know the answer to this one, but I do know a good joke that I can write in its place." Whereupon he scrawled off a 150 word yarn, and at the conclusion wrote: "I think this ought to be worth some credit, don't you? God bless you if you do, and God bless me if you don't.

V V Junior high school is the most popular curriculum for student teachers at North Dakota state teachers college with twenty-one practicing in it.

NEW INTRAMURAL SETUP * Two weeks of practice and instruction will be allowed for the individual sports; then the tournaments will be held', and the activity will be over. The length of time necessary to run off the contests will depend on the type of sport and the number of people participating. This setup is designed to cure lack of interest, when an activity drags over a period, of time. All turnouts will be concluded two weeks before the end of next quarter, except for WAA activities which will finish the week before the end of Spring quarter. GENERAL BADMINTON Allinson won the advanced singles matches from Creer, and Neevel defeated Beal to come out winner in the beginners' singles at the bad- •minton turnout held last Wednesday. Hubert and Neevel won beginners' doubles when they beat Schauss and May hew. Allinson and Feldi took Creer and Martinson in doubles, but Rogers and Fowler were still undefeated when the time was up, so the final champs remained undecided. RESPONSIBILITIES SPLIT WAA is. branching out into so many activities, that the general sports manager will be entirely responsible for supervising and arranging the sports program next year. The president will preside at all meetings, serve as member ex-of-ficio of all committees, supervise events, and choose committees. Both fields have been supervised by our president this year. MORE BADMINTON In group I, Rogers and Allinson proved themselves winners with six wins and no losses, giving them 1.000 per cent. Hart and Meenk came in second with four wins and two losses, leaving .667 per cent. Martinson and Greer won in Group II of the advanced class with 1.000 per cent, and Johnson and Stevenson came out with .667 per cent. Feldt and Bullock were, high in Group I II with 1.000 per cent. KraUse and Tasbrii, and Schaus and Vilwock were tied for second with .250 per cent apiece. In the beginners' groups, Allen, and O'Brien, and Bensen and Beal tied for first place in Group I with .750 per cent after winning three games and losing one. Spencer and Christy won in Group II with 1.000 per cent, and Oxford and Wellington came in second with .500 per cent. The champs from Group III were partners Neevel and McClain, who won all four of their matches to give them a score of 1.000 per cent. Baker and Call were second placers with .500 per cent. GENERAL MEETING Election of officers will be held on March 28 in the Blue room of Edens hall. This will be a very important meeting, and all members should attend. About electing the people to go to Berkeley: The cabinet unanimously voted to recommend to the club, that the two people chosen to go be underclassmen, and that the presidentelect go, so that they will be back next year to give their ideas gained to the club. At the cabinet meeting last week, they forgot to make nominations for the position of Women's league representative; therefore, she will be put up and elected at the meeting.

First State Normal The hundredth anniversary of the first state-supported teacher-training school was recognized by a speech given by Payson Smith of the graduate school of education of Harvard university. On July 3, 1839, the first state normal school was opened in Lexington, Mass. Later the school was moved to its present location in Framingham. The association also discussed the co-operative study of possible improvements in teacher preparation being conducted by the American' Council on Education. Attends Dinner While in Cleveland, President Fisher attended a dinner given by the Carnegie corporation for representatives of the twenty-nine schools that received grants last year. WWC was awarded $9,000 last fall for library books. Several other educational organizations met concurrently with the association. Among them was the Association of School Administrators.

Although over hall the men think American women are spoiled, they believe married men are happier than bachelors. Interestingly enough, 90 per cent thought women should work before marriage, but only 10 per cent thought they should work afterwards. Good companionship was first among the attributes wanted in a wife, with intelligence second, and homemaking third.

Before this date, I have always sat back and let someone else bleat his brains out about a condition in this sphool that should be remedied. But my lethargy has been sorely interrupted so now here I am bleating along with the rest of the sheep. In case you have "been wondering what this is all about, I'll tell you now . . . BASEBALL. There have been lots of excuses given to the baseball players in school, but the most deplorable one that has been heard yet is this:.The coach says that he likes baseball and wants it for the students, then turns around and passes the buck to somebody else. After listening to the excusesthat have been passed around, and after these have been investigated and have been found to be lacking, the final straw is when the poach backs out on the boys. Personally,VI think that the kids could do a Better job of coaching anyway, but of course a faculty supervisor is needed. So, fellows, it looks as if baseball at WWC is never going to have a chance to be a thing of the past, because it's never been a thing of the present. Amen.

In the mile run, Norman Bright holds the record with a time of 4:31.8, set in 1932. This is also the tri-college mark.

Brinkman holds the two mile with 10:05, while the 440- yard daSh record belongs to Carboneau with 51 seconds. -Dan Gagnon has shaded this in practice, and may beat it officially t this year. Danny also holds the school 220-yard dash record with a mark of 21:6, and is co-holder with Fife, Schlilaty and Arne Johnson, of the 100- yard dash, marked at 9.9.

There is considerable to be said on both sides. If you are to deny-them/the right to assemble, you at once destrby the fundamental concept of democracy. On the other hand, why should they be allowed to hold meetings in order to discuss ways of bringing about the downfall of our government as it is today? Is it right that we should give the Nazis and others or similar ilk free rein in spreading "their propaganda in this country? The people who espouse the cause of the Nazis claim that the father of our country, George Washington, would have been the first to help them. Maybe so,r but we rather doubt that George would have given the Hessians the right to use Madison Square Garden for their meetings. , SPRINGTIME * Well, another quarter has come and gone. It seems as though we were just starting a couple of weeks ago, or does it? The spectre of examinations has departed. By now you know how little you really did know. You wish that you had lived up to that promise that you made the folks at Christmas when you so' rashly said you'd study at least - two hours every night. Ah well, cheer up, youcan try all over again Spring quarter. There are many things to be around for this spring, not the least of which are Campus day, our quarterly fire drill, and last, but not least, sowing .wild oats on top of Sehome hill in the moonlight. Ah yes, the good old springtime! The highways between here and Seattle will again be black with WWC hitch-hikers. SOMETHING NEW * You may have seen the article in the papers recently that told of a letter received from a small girl by the General Electric company of Schenectady, New York. It ran something as follows: "Dear Sirs If you are not too busy, and it would not be too much trouble, could you please send me a small sample of electricity. We are studying it in geography." Needless to say, the General Electric engineers were completely stymied. Such ignorance is easily overlooked in children, but it is surprising to see supposedly well-informed grown-ups who aren't exactly up on their toes about well-known facts. For instance, an English instructor in this school naively remarked last week that Kipling's "Gunga Din" was laid in the country of Armenia at the time of the battle with the Turks, following the World war! We omiAhe name of the teacher for obvious reasons. MAGIC MAYBE? The Spanish war rages on, only it's a three-way fight now. The Republicans will soon be split up into so many different factions that the whole thing will resemble the recently adjourned Washington state legislature.. However, Franco looks as though he will probably get the best of the fight.1 At the outbreak of the war, some of the-boys swore that they wouldn't shave until Franco won. A number of them have nice fur coats now. Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain, and many others, too few to mention are beginning to take a profound interest in the affairs of "New Spain." It is indeed a shame that the secrets of the late Houdini were buried with him, because now poor Franco will have to escape from the hands of his friends as best he can. Baseball Passes Test In College Survey ^ By Smiley Hall "Do you want baseball as a sport in W W C ? " This was one of the questions submitted in the baseball questionnaire recently distributed among the students here, in which 70 per cent voted "yes," while 30 per cent voted the contrary. The question, "Which do you prefer, baseball or track?" was answered 60-40 in favor of baseball. The students also agreed by an almost unanimous vote, 97 per cent to 3 per cent that the men in this school, training to be coaches, miss something by not having baseball in the school. No matter what outcome the poll reveals, the chances of having basenail in the school this year are very, very slim, but the opinion of the students may be given a, more serious' thought next year or in years to come. Much depends upon whether WWC will be allotted any of the added funds appropriated by the recently retired legislature for its athletic field. This will probably remain a secret until a later date. Co-op Consignment Plan Explained by Forcl By Charles Horel Sam Ford, Associated Students Co-op manager, announced Tuesday the Co-op is now working oh a three-way turn-in plan for books. Books may be turned in under the old plan of one-half the former value in cash, or students may obtain credit slips for three-fourths of the value, to be obtained in merchandise other than text books. Credit slips are good any time in tlje future. The new plan is the consignment system, under which the student gives the book to the Co-op to be sold and the store takes 25 cents commission oh each book. The idea was tried in WWC in 1931 after Sam Ford had taken a trip East during which he inspected over thirty bookstores. He found the consignment system in use in most of them. The commission in the East is based on the number of students in the college. If the college has under 1,000 students, the store charges 25 cents per book; between 1,000 and 1,500 enrollment, 20 cents; between 1,500/ and 3,000, 15 cents; over'3,000, 10 cents. In 1931 when the system was here only/three bcwks were turned m, so the plan was not publicized much. ; " W e have tried to train the studente to trade their books for merchandise," said Sam. were turned in for cre lt;Ut slir« last quarter.

XXXVHI-^NQ. 23 Attends Convention Prexy Returns To WWC President Fisher Represents College at Association Meet; First State Normal Discussed By Lyman Handy President Fisher returned to WWC last Monday after an absence of several weeks, during which he attended a meeting of representatives of the, American Association of Teacher's colleges in Cleveland, Ohio. This meeting was larger than any educational convention to be held in the United States this year. President Fisher estimated that at least 10,000 people attended. Committee Meets Prior to the meeting of the association, the accrediting committee, of which Mr. Fisher is a member, held a two-day session. The committee busied itself reviewing reports of inspections from colleges applying for accreditation. Re-inspections of accredited schools were also studied. The program at the convention, in the opinion of the president, was unusually good this year. He was particularly interested in the discussion of the place of general education in a program of teacher training. One of the uppermost subjects of the association was the methods of improving teaching personnel.

Editorials By Evan Hill Dangerous Road Blamed On College Spirit College spirit has always been blamed and commended for a variety of things. When the frosh bonfire burned to the ground two years ago on the night before it was supposed to have happened, the college said, "Well, that's college for you." And they accepted it as such. . A visitor in the dorm who perchance saw the inside of some of the inhabitants* rooms would find further relics of "college spirit." Signs, banners, road directions, menus, directions, pictures, all "swiped" or else they would; not have that particular collegiate flavour, decorate the walls and tables. More spirit. When Harvard men hung a red flag on the flag pole in front of the Supreme court building in Washington, D. C, that was more spirit. The public has become accustomed to such, pranks; they accept them as an outlet for excess energy, better diverted that way than in other more shady ways. BUT EVEN THE TOLERANT PUBLIC GETS DISGUSTED AT SOME OF THE SO-CALLED "SPIRIT." And a case at which the public is thoroughly disgusted, and one which happened on this very campus is that of the vandals who "swiped" the Closed Road sign on the road in from the PE building. The road had been partially repaired, and not quite finished. The last two-thirds, especially around the parking area, had not even been touched yet. Dangerous ground for gt;even a caterpillar tractor to try to manipulate, the missing Closed Road sign has allowed students to attempt to drive and park in the danger area. College spirit! THAT ROAD NEEDS THAT SIGN! PLEASE PUT ONE THERE! V V Warning to Englishmen The poor condition of the road is dangerous to the welfare of the school. Some Austin will drive into one of the holes, disappear, and leave the school with a law suit . . . either that or a salvage job. V V Each Year Makes It More Difficult For another year WWC will be without a baseball team, for some buck-passing reason or another. Another year will pass by, making it harder for a team to be re-organized. What kind of coaches can the PE department turn out without including baseball in the curriculum? V V Experimenter Sticks Neck Out The apparently unhealthy financial condition of the Co-op has inspired a new system of book exchange that has been in effect since 1931. The students then, according to Sam Ford, bookstore manager, responded so avidly to the system that he traded all of three books by the new system. Perhaps conditions have changed since then. Ingall's experiment will show us. : .^ V . - . ' V -. Now You Know Whom to Blame An innovation is die Collegian's putting by-lines on every story this issue.

Why should some teachers make one afraid of them; why should they make their students so afraid that the only response they get is a weak "No, ma'am"? Everyone wants to like his teachers and with very little encouragement and a good disposition on the teacher's part they have a loving and responsive class. It's true, too. The proof being in classes where the teachers are nice. Students can sympathize with instructors for they must undergo a tremendous strain to keep their temper when the class wit or dumbwit misbehaves. But students restrain their tempers, too. For where it would be all right for the teacher to discipline the student, it is a little irregular for the students to discipline the teacher. A FRESHMAN, Southwestern, Oklahoma Junior College.

A University of Alabama student answered a particularly diffiicult question in a mid-term test this way—"I don't know the answer to this one, but I do know a good joke that I can write in its place." Whereupon he scrawled off a 150 word yarn, and at the conclusion wrote: "I think this ought to be worth some credit, don't you? God bless you if you do, and God bless me if you don't.

NEW INTRAMURAL SETUP * Two weeks of practice and instruction will be allowed for the individual sports; then the tournaments will be held', and the activity will be over. The length of time necessary to run off the contests will depend on the type of sport and the number of people participating. This setup is designed to cure lack of interest, when an activity drags over a period, of time. All turnouts will be concluded two weeks before the end of next quarter, except for WAA activities which will finish the week before the end of Spring quarter. GENERAL BADMINTON Allinson won the advanced singles matches from Creer, and Neevel defeated Beal to come out winner in the beginners' singles at the bad- •minton turnout held last Wednesday. Hubert and Neevel won beginners' doubles when they beat Schauss and May hew. Allinson and Feldi took Creer and Martinson in doubles, but Rogers and Fowler were still undefeated when the time was up, so the final champs remained undecided. RESPONSIBILITIES SPLIT WAA is. branching out into so many activities, that the general sports manager will be entirely responsible for supervising and arranging the sports program next year. The president will preside at all meetings, serve as member ex-of-ficio of all committees, supervise events, and choose committees. Both fields have been supervised by our president this year. MORE BADMINTON In group I, Rogers and Allinson proved themselves winners with six wins and no losses, giving them 1.000 per cent. Hart and Meenk came in second with four wins and two losses, leaving .667 per cent.

In the beginners' groups, Allen, and O'Brien, and Bensen and Beal tied for first place in Group I with .750 per cent after winning three games and losing one. Spencer and Christy won in Group II with 1.000 per cent, and Oxford and Wellington came in second with .500 per cent. The champs from Group III were partners Neevel and McClain, who won all four of their matches to give them a score of 1.000 per cent. Baker and Call were second placers with .500 per cent. GENERAL MEETING Election of officers will be held on March 28 in the Blue room of Edens hall. This will be a very important meeting, and all members should attend. About electing the people to go to Berkeley: The cabinet unanimously voted to recommend to the club, that the two people chosen to go be underclassmen, and that the presidentelect go, so that they will be back next year to give their ideas gained to the club. At the cabinet meeting last week, they forgot to make nominations for the position of Women's league representative; therefore, she will be put up and elected at the meeting.

The association also discussed the co-operative study of possible improvements in teacher preparation being conducted by the American' Council on Education. Attends Dinner While in Cleveland, President Fisher attended a dinner given by the Carnegie corporation for representatives of the twenty-nine schools that received grants last year.

Although over hall the men think American women are spoiled, they believe married men are happier than bachelors. Interestingly enough, 90 per cent thought women should work before marriage, but only 10 per cent thought they should work afterwards. Good companionship was first among the attributes wanted in a wife, with intelligence second, and homemaking third. As to what is the most obnoxious fault, nagging and jealousy tied for first place with extravagance and bossiness close behind.

But my lethargy has been sorely interrupted so now here I am bleating along with the rest of the sheep. In case you have "been wondering what this is all about, I'll tell you now . . . BASEBALL. There have been lots of excuses given to the baseball players in school, but the most deplorable one that has been heard yet is this:.The coach says that he likes baseball and wants it for the students, then turns around and passes the buck to somebody else. After listening to the excusesthat have been passed around, and after these have been investigated and have been found to be lacking, the final straw is when the poach backs out on the boys. Personally,VI think that the kids could do a Better job of coaching anyway, but of course a faculty supervisor is needed. So, fellows, it looks as if baseball at WWC is never going to have a chance to be a thing of the past, because it's never been a thing of the present. Amen.

FEATURES/6 WESTERN WASHINGTONUNIVERSITY VOLUME 203 ISSUE 12 TUESDAY February 24, 1998 BELLINGHAM; WASHINGTONCity Council hears master plan complaints By Arvid Hokanson The Western Front Bellingham CityCouncil members faced a standing-room-only chamber of citizens, students and Western officials lastnight as it began the process of reviewing Western's Neighborhood Plan for potential adoption in themonths to come. The public-comment portion of the meeting began with City Planning Director PatriciaDecker and Associate Director Greg Aucutt speaking about the complexity of the plan and the vari- .ous issues involved. Many of the members of the public who spoke expressed confusion about thesize and scope of the plan. "It's understandable that people are confused, and hopefully we cancorrect some of that confusion through this public process," Decker said. "Patricia Decker wasconfused; she didn't know whether to tell us to speak on the Memorandum of Agreement or not," HappyValley resident and citizen activist John Servais said. "She didn't know what they (the city council)should or should not listen to." "It's a difficult process when you're dealing with an institution likeWestern that covers the neighborhood," Decker said. "It's very, very confusing, and that's the problemwith this process," Servais said. After 10 months of tedious review, which included 11 public meetings,the Bellingham City Planning Commission submitted its 38-page "Findings of Fact and Conclusion" onthe neighborhood plan that included a Memorandum of Agreement to the city council at the end of last year. In the proposed Memorandum of Agreement, the city would release Western from complying with the state Growth Management Act until the adoption of the IMP. This has come under fire for beingdisrespectful of the law. The plan, which will be used to develop an Institutional Master Plan, lays outrules for developing Western's regulatory guidelines. Issues included parking, the Viking Unionrenovation, property acquisition and a newly proposed Memorandum of Agreement betweenWestern and the city. "Interest (in Western's neighborhood plan) is greater than any of the otherseven plans already reviewed by the city," Aucutt said. "This neighborhood plan is only a first step indeveloping regulatory plans." Officials from Western then made a short but strong presentation tothe city council, stating their position on the adoption of the neighborhood plan. Western Board ofTrustees Chair Grace Yuan, President Karen Morse, Trustee Charlie Earl and Trustee Warren Gilbert all commented about Western's inevitable growth, increasing enrollment and value to the community, before members of the public spoke. "The Growth Management Act is clouded on development of theuniversity with relation to the city development plans," Earl said. "Development will not occur until thecity and neighborhood have been consulted and an See Plan, page 4 Front/Wendy Giroux Happy Valley resident John Servais addresses Western administrators about the necessity of justifying Western'sacademic needs for the proposed expansion into Happy Valley Viking Union renovation brought beforepublic hearing By Wendy Giroux The Western Front The proposed Viking Union renovation and theremoval of Vendors' Row were vehemently discussed during the public forum at the Bellingham CityCouncil meeting Monday night. At the opening of the meeting, council chairperson Bob Ryan asked forthe signatures of meeting attendees who wished to speak about Vendors' Row. More than ten peoplesigned up, but not all were able to speak due to time constraints. "The most significant part of theproposed plan is the VU remodel â€” it will require a public review process," Greg Aucutt, an associate director of city planning, said. Aucutt said the time frame will allow time for public review beforeconstruction of the final document begins. "The plan-development process involves public participation,"Western President Karen Morse said. Morse spoke about specific issues, including the VU renovation:"The vacation of High Street (will be completed) for safety purposes and to help with the constructionof the plaza," she said. Associated Students President Shane O'Day did not directly address the VUrenovation, but he reiterated Morse's statement. "The purpose of the university is to meet thechanging and growing needs of its student population," O'Day said. April Markowitz representedWestern's staff and faculty; she spoke about the community at Western and its infrastructure. "Weneed to be getting everybody's input â€” getting creative ideas," she said. "In a world that's growing more impersonal, (Vendors' Row is) a human place." Tim McHugh Cookie Table employee and (provides)many inexpensive things of extremely high quality," Robert Monaham, a Bellingham resident for 36years, said. Western junior Theresa Fagin said that she can buy food for a whole school day atVendors' Row for $3.65, compared to the $10 she spends for the same number of snacks and mealsat Mar-riott. "There are two essential differences between Vendors' Row and the Marriott foodservices on campus â€” one (is) quality and cost, and the other half is personal satisfaction," she said.Fagin said she feels the administration did not strive hard enough to seek student views. My voice wasnever sought, and it's 'Western is an enormous cultural asset falling on deaf ears now as I hear more andmore about the renovation plans. Vendors' Row worker Joel Litman presented to the council the 2,700-signature petition in opposition to the renovation plans. Litman said the signatures were collected inonly seven days. "For those of you who might not know, Vendors' Row is a 22-year tradition," Litmansaid. He described the row as "an open-air marketplace â€” kind of similar to Pike's Place Market inSeattle, although considerably smaller." Litman said Vendors' Row "offers an alternative to corporateinterests up at Western, but more importantly, it offers a cultural and political link to the communityâ€” the only link of that kind left at Western today." Litman said it's important to understand thedifference between the existing Vendors' Row and the proposed university- supplied vending spaces.See VLT, page 4 k. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 2 ----------2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS February 24, 1998 Campus Police Feb. 17,10:42 a.m.: A studentreported her vehicle was damaged in Lot 15R.

THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 3 Looking back at stories from The WesternFront, Winter, 1977 Huxley graduate kidnapped in Colombia A 30-year-old Huxley graduate working inColombia as a Peace Corps volunteer was taken captive by leftist guerrillas on Feb. 14, the StateDepartment reported on Wednesday. Charles Richard Starr was studying the status of vegetation andwildlife in the Macarena mountains, 95 miles southeast of Bogota, when he was kidnapped. HughPerenyi, State Department press officer, said the name of the group who seized Starr had not beenconfirmed. Reports attribute the kidnapping to the pro-communist Revolutionary Armed Forces ofColombia. The kidnapping took place during a two-hour raid on a police outpost. One policeman andone guerrilla were killed in the raid. Starr was the only person taken hostage by the approximately 50guerrillas, witnesses said. Starr graduated from Huxley in 1972 and received his master in botany fromthe University of Wisconsin. Western's liquor license crushed Western's chances for beer and wineservice may have been crippled by Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz's public announcement that he wouldoppose granting liquor licenses to the college. SAGA Food Service and the Viking Union recently madea joint application to the Washington State Liquor Control Board for Class "A" and Class "C" liquorlicenses. If the application goes through, beer and wine service would begin in the Viking Union CoffeeShop's Auxiliary Room. Proposed hours for service are 12 to 7 p.m. weekdays. SAGA would managethe sales and ID checking. Associated Students President Bruce Ayers said Hertz's oppositionmakes it unlikely that Western will be granted the license. "No liquor licenses get through when city hall opposes," he said. Hertz asked for a public hearing in the event that the liquor board shows signs ofissuing the "A" and "C" licenses. He predicted that the Bellingham citizens would oppose issuance 2to 1. Crazed fan charges at entertainer A crazed fan lunged at folk star Al Stewart before hisperformance in Carver Gym on Friday, Jan. 21. The young man, who called himself Lord Granville, wasdragged off the stage by road crew members after bounding toward Stewart during a pre-concertrehearsal. Jacques Duchesneau, 22, of Montreal, was arrested by campus security officers andcharged with simple assault. "He was heading straight for Stewart, no two ways about it," said WarrenErksine, security director for the Program Commission. Duchesneau apparently hid in a Carverclassroom after being kicked out earlier in the day by concert officials. Another program commissioner said he put a "hex" on the concert prior to his ejection. The man was chased from the classroom by apatrolling security officer. He then ran and jumped onto the stage where rehearsal was in progress.Stewart's roadies recognized Duchesneau from the previous encounter and quickly surrounded him.One of the workers was struck by the intruder. The man reportedly yelled lyrics from Stewart's songsand "Why did you bring me back from the dead?" at Stewart as he ran at him. Duchesneau denied thathe had threatened Stewart. He was sentenced to five days in jail and a $50 fine, with time alreadyspent in jail credited to his sentence.

"I'm not saying the food is badâ€” but for the amount we pay, it could be better," said Tony Im, a volunteer at the Ethnic Student Center.Other clubs also have complaints with Marriott, including the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Alliance. TheLGBA paid Marriott $74.10 to provide beverages for 30 people, Jess Torcaso, a staff member at theLGBA, said. "It puts us in a no-win situation," Torcaso said. "As a university organization, we'rerequired to use Marriott." Co-coordinator of the Women's Center Christa Orth said she would like tosupport off-campus businesses, but "our purchase orders would not be approved if we tried to get an off-campus business to cater our events." Marriott's services and prices are negotiated in their contractwith Western Viking Union Director Jack Smith. "They have an exclusive right to provide university foodservice, but we retain the right to allow special events ... after consultation with Marriott," Smithsaid.

But these packages do not include delivery, setup or cleanup, said Larry Stahlberg, generalmanager of University and Dining Services. "When the (AS clubs) want full catering service, then weprovide that, which does cost more," Stahlberg said. "A club can pick up, set up and clean up food from Marriott." Last spring, the Sexual Awareness Center sponsored an Aphrodisiac Party that Marriottcatered. "It's good food and it's gorgeous," Ellen Chesley, assistant coordinator of the SexualAwareness Center said. "But we're limited by what Marriott can do." "Toasted almonds areaphrodisiacs ... but Marriott couldn't provide them," Chesley said. Clubs can provide their own food ifthey get a catering waiver, Smith said. In order to get an off-campus catering waiver, an AS club mustdisclose several things, including the name of the catering company or caterers, and the location of foodpreparation, according to the Viking Union Petition for "Other than Marriott" Food Service. Clubs mustalso say if they have already asked Marriott to provide the food. The waiver will most likely be acceptedif the food is from home, an ethnic specialty, or donated, Stahlberg said. Marriott will help if they can, he said. "The Ethnic Student Center has a different issue: usually food offered by the ESC is ethnic,"Gajee Parsons, an ESC volunteer, said. Tyler Jones, assistant coordinator for the ESC, said the ESChas used Marriott's food service for many events. On Nov. 1,1997, the ESC sponsored an event titledFaces of America where Marriott provided beverages after the event in one of the Viking eateries, Jonessaid. "When we cater things, we want ethnic food, and they already stated they won't do ethnic food;" Jones said. "Nothing was set up and people were waiting around for 30 minutes for Marriott to bringwhat was ordered," he said. Jones' said his job at the ESC keeps him so busy that he doesn't alwaysnotice when Marriott has done its job right, only when Marriott messes up. Marriott's contract withWestern will end in July of 2000. At that time, anyone can bid for a food service contract at Western. "Afree market is operating when we go out for a bid," Jack Smith, director of Viking Union said. Smithadded that there are usually three or four bidders. As with all bidding processes, whoever offers thebest plan gets the contract, Smith said. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 4 ----------A â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS February 24, 1998 Hi-tech dinosaurs come alive at Western ByCaroline Deck The Western Front Computer-generated dinosaurs came to Western yesterday, but theywere not created by Steven Speilberg. Professor Michael Parrish lectured Monday in Fraser Hall 2about cyberpaleontology, which incorporates the study of dinosaurs using current computertechnology.

Plan, from page 1 â€” agreement reached," Gilbert said."Western must plan for growth and is committed to community involvement," Morse said. "Is the tailwagging the dog? Is Western telling the city what to do?" Happy Valley resident Joe Deeny asked.Carlie Casey lives just south of campus on Indian Terrace, which according to the master plan theuniversity wishes to acquire. He expressed his support for the university and the university'sfriendliness in trying to acquire his home. "I was surprised and hurt by the suggestions that we don'tlove Western, or that we want Western to go away," Servais said. The Institutional Master Plan is being used for only the second time. The city used it successfully with St. Joseph Hospital, which lies withinthe Cornwall Park neighborhood. A portion of the agreement states, "During the period of transitionbetween now and the time agreement is reached on an Institutional Master Plan or this agreement isterminated, the city will process university permit applications as set forth herein. The city will not delayor prohibit permit processing even though the Institutional Master Plan has not yet been approved bythe city. The city will review each permit application to ensure compliance with all applicabledevelopment regulations as set forth in this memorandum." Happy Valley resident and former citycouncil member Tip Johnson commented that the city would most likely not sign an agreement with anyother party that had proceeded without check as far as Western has. "We hear that our needs areimportant and the universities are essential," Johnson said. The public-comment period will continuenext month at 7 p.m., March 23rd, in the city council chambers.

He said the difference is that Vendors' Row is acommunity and cultural center, whereas Bellis Fair is a commercial center. "Vendors' Row is a placewhere people show up to gather and protest different issues of concern," part-time cookie vendor TimMcHugh said. "A student can show up without any money and get a snack and a cup of coffee and it's ok, the food and coffee vendors are based upon the honor system," he said. "The reason we havealmost 3,000 signatures so far is that ,in a world that's growing increasingly more impersonal, it's*ahuman place," McHugh said.

Stevens to study themovements of sauropodsâ€”long-necked, herbivorous dinosaurs such as the brontosaurus. Accordingto a press release from Western's Public Information Office, Parrish and Stevens have recordeddimensions from the United States and Europe of sauropod vertebrae and recorded them ontocomputers. Parrish and Stevens have been working on this project for about three years, usually inspurts, Parrish said. They were, brought together when Stevens took a class from Parrish aboutdinosaurs. They were standing under the enormous skeleton of a dinosaur when they concocted the idea of a computer generated analysis, Parrish said. "One thing that distinguishes dinosaurs from othermammals is that most mammals stop growing when they reach maturity," Parrish said. "This isn't thecase with dinosaurs." The enormous size of dinosaurs is what makes them extremely interesting,Parrish said. It is because of their enormous size, however, that dinosaur bones are like huge stonesand hard to move, Parrish said. The computers helped to solve this problem. Parrish and Stevensworked to isolate the constraints of dinosaurs' bodies, such as bone structure and joint capsules.This information was included with recorded data about particular dinosaurs, mostly theApatosaurus louisae, Parrish said. Parrish and Stevens found that the neck vertebrae had "21 degreesof freedom" and, using a 3-D graphics program, could see the difference between a "neutral positionâ€”or the relaxed positionâ€” and an eating or walking position, Parrish said. In the neutral pose, thedinosaur's head actually tipped down and usually did not rise above shoulder height, Parrish said. Thiscontrasts with traditional ideas that long-necked dinosaurs kept their head high to reach tall plants.With their research, Parrish and Stevens have found that the dinosaurs were very flexible animals,Parrish said. "That's what the bones suggest. Of course, there would have been skin and muscularrestraints, also," Parrish said. The accuracy of the project seems to be very high, said Parrish. Theproject was first tested with giraffes, and the results were very close. Countless hours were spentfiguring the function of the zygapophyses, a vertebrae that helps link the spine together, said Parrish.They found that the closer the zygapophyses are together, the less flexible the animal was.jH^^M^^i^iilP^fe^^ii^^li^ii' fS^StiD;^ |iht^ducriQ^ Ir^fcibns!:^ iy0Thej;faifc^ : : : : 1 ^ t Â£^ nasium, wherestudents interested in areas ranging ;.;fr^m!;mtern^ 5;elt;|:a^ ;fienfe^ ::$Kan^^ f Â§ l | f e ^ ^ but.Â§E|iÂ§^^ coprdina-lilflij^^ : wprk- Â§ s | | | ^ workshop | | f a | | ^ | | | | Â§ ^ Â§Wi@ni|;;^ ! l | | | ^ ^ â€¢heacls. the |fÂ§hma:;:|^ and yriH^e- | | ^ : : l t t ^ fair, con- ^â€¢JfcaSGt' ;f^the^lJEaLi^Np â€¢;;^B|^ireEf"^c^Jb^ss" website at Graduate School Anyone?

Dominating the room, the pianosdemand attention, and Jeffrey Gilliam, Western's associate professor of music, complies â€” althoughnot as often as By Sara Magnuson he' d uke. in Gilliam's The Western Front Utopian world, he wouldpractice five to six hours per day. Former student Tony Keil offered an observation. "The color of his hairdescribes his intensity â€” the bright orange-red color." Music has been a part of Gilliam's life since hewas six years old. He was a choir boy, but singing was just part of the package. He was fortunateenough to receive individual theory lessons, which he said is almost unheard of. Through these lessons,he learned to compose â€” something he said he will be eternally grateful for. "You have to either playsomething someone else wrote, or else compose it yourself," he pointed out. Of course, playingsomeone else's music isn't all bad. Many musicians have inspired him. Apparently, composer FranzSchubert has had considerable impact; Gilliam's computer hard drive is labled with the composer'sname. And, as the computer is a continuous reminder of his inspiration, a floor-to-ceiling columntestifies to his accomplishments: secured with tacks, multiple programs boast his and his students' recitals. Students are a huge part of his life. Diane Greenburg, who has worked with Gilliam, said, "Heeven takes times out of his own schedule, on weekends, to help students." But their accomplishmentsaren't his only source of pride. "I like being here. That's an accomplishment," Gilliam stated. Gilliamobtained his undergraduate education in the states. From there, a scholarship allowed him theopportunity to study in Germany. His stay in Europe was extended, and he found himself inSwitzerland attending the International Menuhin Music Academy, a school specializing in the study ofstring instruments. He said he worked diligently at the not-so-fun stuff because he was young and eagerto do anything. It wasn't all busywork. He also followed the students on competition trips, Gilliam said. "I know small-town America like a presidential candidate," he declared. However, he's no stranger to theother side of the world. A boy visiting the school invited him to Thailand. He said he enjoys playing infamiliar areas, despite the adventure of a foreign place. "There's more of an edge going to a place whereyou don't know anyone," he said. His face became pensive as he tried to recall the thoughts that occupy his mind while he is performing. "I try not to think of the piano," he admitted. "It's too limiting. I try tosilence the chatterbox in my head." His story about a runner illustrates his point. If a man is racing, andsuddenly he stops to contemplate the fact that they're running, it can throw off his concentration. To avoid that catastrophe, pianists ought to be so familiar with the music that it's almost second nature, he said.Prior to a performance, Gilliam might practice a piece of music for months. "I know a piece so well that Ican trick myself into believing that I composed it," he said, grinning. Right now, Gilliam is exploring theConcord Sonata by Charles Ives â€” a task comparable to reading Ulysses. The first time through thepiece, pianists haven't a hope of understanding it; they must immerse themselves in it. "You live in (Ives')world â€” in his mess, in his dreams, in his philosophies," he explained. While he plays, his perspectivechanges. "Like in a play, if I'm always intense, you'll get tired of me." Gilliam said he absorbs knowledgewhile accompanying. "I make my personality a chameleon," to fit the musician's style. But he saidaccompanying is oppressive â€” the pianist wears a leash held by the performer. "If I only (accompanied)for a lifetime, it would be scarring for my musical psyche," he said. Solos are important because "youget to flex your own musical muscles." Gilliam said he the learning process never ends. "The momentyou think you've got it all figured out, you're dead," he said matter-of-factly. Gilliam is encouraged toexpress his visions for the department, one of which is to see more mingling between pianists. Eliteschools tend to be more one-on-one, which he said is good, but "pianists tend to lead lonely lives â€” inpractice rooms and cubicles." Of his breed Gilliam admitted, "We're a little special."

No matter their choices of transportation, people arealways trying to make it faster. If someone took a trip back a few thousand years, odds are she wouldsee Grog rolling around on the newly invented wheel, wondering how he could make the thing movefaster. Contemporary uprights are much the same way, and the popular choice of toy is now theautomobile. When the idea of a fast car is brought up, people think of names like Ferrari, Viper, Lotus,Corvette and BMW. But rare indeed is the moniker of Volkswagen mentioned. However, the image ofVolkswagen is changing, and all because of people like Shawn Van Neer. Van Neer is a Volkswagentuner who spends his days turning Germany's less-expensive answer to lead-footed drivers from stockautomobiles into entirely different animals â€” cars that can eat traditional speed demons for breakfastand then be driven home in comfort. He has made such metamorphoses happen for the past 10 yearsat Ron's Parts in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Last July, he opened his own shop, calledMomentum Motorsports, up in Port Moody, B.C., where he and cohort Brian Ng work some seriousmechanical magic on some of Germany's finest. Some of his deeds include being the first person in theworld to yank the four-cylinder engine out of a Rabbit and replace it with Volkswagen's rather potent VR6, a 172-horsepower, six-cylinder engine that forms the basis for many of Momentum's projects. But justdropping an engine into a little VW is hardly enough for Van Neer, for his wares extend much further thanswapping. Usually he will add a few go-fast goodies to the motor and the rest of the car before it leaveshis shop. One of his recent examples is a 1992 Golf II VR6. This black beauty has a whopping 280horsepower just waiting to be unleashed by the driver's foot. Considering that the fastest car BMW sendsto this side of the Atlantic is the heavier 240-horsepower M3, it seems obvious that Van Neer is doingsomething right. Although giving a car barely bigger than a bread box enough power to rip the skin offyour face can be truly exhilarating, Van Neer considers this car far from finished. Usually he upgrades the wheels and tires, suspension and brakes, leaving the customer with a car that can corner like adragonfly and stop fast enough to yank your eyeballs out. Basically, Momentum takes Volkswagens toanother level. "We're trying to overachieve what people have already done," Van Neer said. And if thatisn't enough, he has more than enough imagination for new projects. "We're building a VR6 turbo Rabbit," Van Neer said. Having already put a VR6 into a Rabbitgt; he knows what this can do. But he's going totur-bocharge it as well, giving it that much more oomph. When he and Ng are done with it, this littlewonder will be putting out about 375 horsepower â€” far more than almost any car coming out of Detroit,Japan or Germany these days â€” in a car about the size â€” and shape â€” of a toaster. And if this stillisn't enough, Van Neer has even more up his sleeve. "We're building a VR6 turbo, Syncro Cabriolet," VanNeer said with what seemed to be a smidgen of drool on the corner of his mouth. When complete,some lucky person will get to drive home a cozy little convertible with a four-wheel-drive system similar toAudi's and Subaru's, but with enough power to stretch that already huge smile all the way around thedriver's face. Although Van Neer loves Volkswagens, he doesn't limit himself. "Audi, VW, Mercedesand BMW â€” that's my forte," he said. However, Van Neer seems partial to VWs, and it is interesting tosee why. "It's primarily about Volkwagen as the underdog," he said, grinning. "When you beat somebody, you don't just beat them. You embarass them." Coming from a man who scrubs the pavement withCorvettes and Mustangs as often as he does, the little mites must have something appealing; drivingan appliance-shaped car at speeds around 150 mph would have to be entertaining, except in cases of aweak constitution. In this situation, the best bet is to change shorts and go back to a Geo. Van Neeradmitted that although driving a sooped-up VW can be loads of fun, what he does for each car ultimatelyboils down to what the customer wants. Many of the modifications he can perform have undesirable,yet expected, side effects. Lowering a car and tightening its suspension will make it corner like there is no tomorrow, but it may hurt riding comfort. Tuning an engine to achieve race-car-like performace willmake the car fly like a rocket, but everyday drivability will suffer. What it comes down to is what thecar's owner desires, is willing to compromise and can afford. Van Neer makes these compromises easyto handle. He is one of the premier tuners in North America, with profiles of his work having beenpublished in European Car magazine â€” an authority on vehicles from the other side of the pond â€”eight times. He said with pride that he knows what he is doing when people drop off their babies. VanNeer makes temporarily handing over the keys even easier for his customers in another important way: he doesn't charge much in respect to what he does. Putting a VR6 under the hood of the typical mild-mannered VW is a common feat for Van Neer, and he doesn't ask owners to part with a lot of money ortime with their cars. "A standard VR6 swap in a '91 to '96 is about a week â€” five working days," VanNeer said. He added that the procedure will cost "anywhere from $3,800 to $6,500," depending on anyother work he and Ng have to do. So, for a moderate amount of scratch, VW owners can give their prideand joy a lot more go. For a few dollars more, they can also give it a bunch more stop. And for theproverbial icing on the cake, they can have plenty more grip on the twisty roads and a ton more style toboot. But it all goes back to doing things faster, and Van Neer is one who never actually realizes "fastenough." He will continue to do what is thought to be impossible and continue to make all the Grogs inhis ancestry proud. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 7 ----------February 24, 1998 FEATURES THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 Front/Ken Brierly Mike Brown tries out the 1977AMC Eagle he bought at the Bellingham Public Auto Auction because of its stunning good looks.Somewhere out in the county, a gray pickup's canopy is packed full of marijuana, its cargo headed forthe incinerator. In Bellingham, a young man discovers the drug-seizure car he bought at an autoauction two days before wasn't as good a deal as he thought it was. At the truck crossing in Blaine, acustoms administrator talks about drug disposal, seized goods and relays stories of his many yearsworking with the U.S. Customs. The street value of the cargo in the pot-packed pickup is $70 million,said Ron Peterson, who coordinates the burns for the Whatcom County Sheriff's Department. "We do iton an 'as-needed' basis," Peterson said of the evidence disposal process. They're called "security burns"â€” for good reason. "We don't announce when or where (the incineration) will be," Peterson said. "Wedon't want to jeopardize the safety of the officers involved." "We use a different transport vehicle everytime. We drive the truck through the building's doors, see that the furnace is on, load the narcotics into the furnace and close the doors," Peterson said. "It's 2,000 degrees in there. After a while, we open thefurnace doors and make sure the drugs are disposed of." U.S. Customs seized 335 boats and 12,500cars world wide last year. John Hollstein, U.S. Customs Operational Enforcement Analyst, said, "Whengoods are seized, ownership of the items is applied to the government." Anything brought to the UnitedStates is subject to licensing and fees. Therefore, part of the job of enforcing the nation's boundaries isseizing prohibited or undeclared goods; in the case of drug smuggling, the vehicle of transport is alsoforfeited. "Property can be destroyed, sold at an auction and sometimes is put to (government) use,"Hollstein said. Bellingham resident Mike Brown bought a car at the Bellingham Public Auto Auction onSaturday; by Monday, the car was broken and in need of major repairs. The car had been seized by theNorthwest Drug Task Force. "What a piece of junk," Brown said, referring to the bronze 1977 AMC Eagle he paid $800 for"; the car needs'a new transmission. The 23-year-old Brown said that at an auction,"buying a car is a crapshoot â€” you never know what you're going to get. That's why the selling pricesare so low." Brown said a new transmission will cost more than he paid for the car. "I'll probably neverbuy at an auction again," Brown said. "I just thought the car was so ugly that it was cool." The moneygenerated from the sale of the seized items goes into the public coffers. During recent years, theinternational border at Blaine has become a major trafficking area for British Columbia-grown marijuanamoving into the United States. "Marijuana is the biggie now," Hollstein said. According to The Vancouver Sun, the province is the world's top exporter of hydroponics- grown marijuana. When large amounts of drugs are found, Hollstein said they are held for evidence pending charges and trial for the smuggler.Customs releases the drugs to the jurisdiction in charge of the case. They are usually incinerated. "If it's only a couple of (marijuana) roaches, they could be flushed down the toilet," Hollstein said. "Pills couldbe ground and flushed." After his many years working for customs, Hollstein has worked his way up theemployment ladder. He leaned back in the chair behind his desk, hands folded behind his head. Histop-floor office at the Blaine truck crossing has an expansive view of the Canadian Cascades. He hasa wealth of stories. He relates one from several years earlier, when he was working in a different part ofthe country: "I think it was opium. They used to incinerate that. The birds liked it. They used to sit ontop of the smokestack and one by one, fall to the ground."

Ranked fifth in the PacificNorthwest Athletic conference going into the contest, the Vikings needed a win this weekend to move up in the conference rankings. "At the beginning of the year we had hopes of being the number one ornumber two seed," Assistant Coach Tony Dominguez said. "Tilings didn't go our way there for a week;so now we were in the position where we had to win tonight." The Warriors, who won the league title two years ago, were led by transfer forward Jonathon George, who scored 31 points and grabbed eightrebounds. Western's Jared" Stevenson scored in double figures for the fifteenth consecutive game as helead the Vikings with 24 points and seven boards. L-C State won the tip; Warrior forward George, whoestablished his presence early, was the first to score in the game. Western soon struck back with athree-point basket that gave the Vikings a lead they would not relinquish until late in the first half. As the half wound down, the Warriors took advantage of sloppy passing to gain the lead with 3:24 remainingin the half. Completing the last three minutes of the first half in a press, the Warriors added to their leadand headed into the locker room up by eight points. George scored 17 first half points and grabbed three offensive rebounds while putting on an offensive display. "He was our main topic of discussion at half-time," freshman guard Jeff Chapman said. "We said whoever takes him has to work hard to get in front,and that we really have to trust our defense behind us for the help-side." The two Western guards,Chapman and Stevenson, led the Vikings in the first half by scoring 18 of the team's 31 points. "We toldour players at half-time just to relax," Jackson said. "They were very frustrated because our shotsweren't going down." "We were trying to figure out a way to stop George, but they were really finding the seams and hitting little jumpers along the baseline," Jackson said. "We weren't rotating very well,so we just said forget and decided to go after them." L-C State opened the second half with the sameintensity that they had at the end of the first. With hot hands and good defensive doubling of the ball, the Warriors took their biggest lead of the game, 48-38, with 14 minutes left to play in the game. TheVikings got a late spark in the game from forward Michael Greene who hit a three-point shot with 12minutes left to play. Soon to follow were three more three-point bombs that had the crowd going nuts."We had some big plays," Jackson said. "Really, one of the keys to the game was Dave Mott becauseeven though it won't show up on the stat sheets, he got his fourth foul with about ten minutes left,"Jackson said. "We decided to keep Western forward Ryan Kettman him in the game because he's oneof our big guys â€” we felt he was the most energized and was working the hardest and click-ing." Withfine rebounding and free-throw shooting, the Vikings sealed the victory, 75-68, despite a Front/AaronDahl harrasses Lewis-Clark State's Jonathon George (with bail). poor field-goal shooting percentage of.400. "We looked at this as our first playoff game and that's how we approached it," Jackson said.Western's next men's basketball game is at Hawaii-Pacific on Thursday, Feb. 26. No matter how theregular season ends, the Vikings will play The Evergreen State College in the opening round of theplayoffs March 4. Due to the similar conference records of both teams, the site of the game has yet to be determined.

Western couldn't stop L-C State's perimeter game as the Warriors hit 15 of 24 three-point attempts. L-C State forward Rosie Albert led all scorers with a career-high 38 points on ll-of-18 shooting â€” hitting 7 of 9 from three-point range. "They have so many good three-point shooters â€”Albert, (Jodi) Benson, (Robin) Berg," sophomore center Celeste Hill said. "They each had three three-pointers in the first half alone. It was so frustrating because we were in their faces, but the shots justkept dropping." "It's just our luck," she added, "that whenever we play a team, someone has a careerday." The Warriors hit nine of their first 11 three-point attempts, enabling them to take a 32-23 lead withsix minutes left in the first half. But Western charged back on the strength of a 10-1 run, tying the gameat 33 apiece. Western took the lead 39-38 when Hill hit an eight-footer from inside the key. The Vikingsled 41- 40 with just seconds remaining in the half, but Albert hit a two-point buzzer beater to give L-CState a one-point lead at the intermission. Four Western players scored in double-digits. Hill led thebalanced attack with 20 points and nine rebounds. Senior guard Heidi VanBrocklin chipped in 13points and two steals. Guard Amanda Olsen and forward Nicole Krell each added 10 points. Midwaythrough the second half, leading 54-53, the Warriors hit three consecutive three-pointers â€” two byAlbert and one by guard Jennifer Marquardt â€” to take a commanding 10-point lead, 63-53, with 11:49remaining. But Western continued to battle, scoring nine straight points and pulling to within one point when freshman forward Pamela Lovely hit a wide-open Hill under the basket for the easy lay-in. "Wedon't quit â€” we're fighters," Hill said. "We've been through a lot this season, and we're not going tolay down and die for anyone." With the Warriors mamtaining a six-point lead, 76-70, Western stillwouldn't give in. Krell hit with a three-pointer to cut the lead to three. After a two-pointer by Albert, Krellblocked a shot and dished to freshman guard Briana Abrahamsen for the easy lay-up, cutting the deficitback to Front/Aaron Dahl Western forward Sara Nichols desperately attempts to steal the ball from L-CState point guard Amanda Campbell in the closing seconds of Western's 84-79 loss to the Warriors lastSaturday. three points with just under two minutes remaining.

Viking players make rugby all-star team By Meredith Lofbergand Amy Christiansen The Western Front Six members of Western's men's rugby team were selectedto be members of the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Union All-Star team, which competed against theFraser Valley Under-23 All-Stars in Langley, British Colum-bia, on Sunday. Dan Moseley, Matt North,Nathan Spitler, Mike Hemphill, Jeff Klinger and Judson Heller were chosen to play with about 15 otherplayers from NCRU, the Canadian league that Western's Warthogs compete in. Each team in the league was allowed to contribute five players. Since NCRU had fewer than the usual 20 players on its side,Western was allowed six all-stars. The usual number of players on each team's side is 20. The 80-minute game resulted in a Fraser Valley victory, 25-0. The NCRU team had one pre-game practice onFriday evening at Trinity Western University in Langley. Moseley, who played inside center, said the lack of preparation may have hurt the team's chance for success. "We would have been more prepared if we had more practice," Moseley said. "We didn't even know the names of most of the people on ourteam." NCRU held off Fraser Valley for most of the first half. Twenty-five minutes into the game, Fraserran 50 meters to score the first try. A try in rugby is similar to a touchdown in American football andallows the scoring team a place-kick for an extra point. Klinger, playing prop, carried the ball into the tryzone to score, but the referee did not award the try, ruling that the ball was held up by the oppositionand did not award the try to NCRU. "We played really well in the first half, but they pulled it out in thesecond," Moseley said. "I think our forwards played really well, especially in the first half," North, whoplayed eight-man, said. "We rucked really well; our scrums blew them off the ball. The line-outs wereuntouchable." Fraser came out strong in the second half, scoring another try after six minutes of play.Two minutes later, they were once again at their try-zone. A rash of NCRU penalties and a quick-handed Fraser back line led to two more Fraser Valley tries before the game was over. The score was20-0 after Fraser kicked the ball. 70 meters downfield and recovered the loose ball in their try zone toscore. A Fraser player was tackled in goal after a short break-away run to score what turned out to bethe final try of the game. "We played well considering (Fraser Valley) is a really good team," Moseleysaid. The Warthogs will play Trinity Western University Wednesday afternoon in Langley, and CentralWashington University on Saturday at 1 p.m. on Arntzen Field. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 10 ----------10 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT OPINIONS February 24, 1998 Corruption in CIA: And this is news?Well, well, well. It seems the CIA is finally ready to admit what the public has known for 37 years. OnSaturday, the Associated Press obtained recently de-classified documents in which the shady andsecretive agency blames itself for the botched Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. Ignorance, incompetenceand arrogance are what the document called the CIA's efforts to overthrow Cuba's Fidel Castro. For theinvasion, the CIA recruited 1,400 Cuban exiles to stage a coup attempt against Castro. Of those soldiers,200 were killed and 1,197 were captured and later released to the United States. The document statedthat the CIA did not give the operation "the top-flight handling which it required." Apparently, the CIAoperatives who trained the rebels did not speak Spanish and "treated the Cubans like dirt." The $46-million invasion went forward with the "pathetic illusion" of deniability even after reports came out thatthe U.S. government was involved with a possible plan to invade Cuba. But after the invasion, whichreportedly left President John F. Kennedy in tears, the CIA denied any wrongdoing. It blamed Kennedy for not sending in air strikes to back up the invasion. That's all good â€” except for the fact that the missionwas supposed to look like a coup with no U.S. involvement. But the bigger issue is not just what wentwrong with the Bay of Pigs invasion; it is what is wrong with the CIA. This is not the only incident inwhich the CIA has demonstrated its arrogant tendencies. Rather, it is an organization built uponarrogance, power and deceit. The agency's shady history includes such dubious allegations as beinginvolved in the assassinations of many foreign leaders, the assassination of John F. Kennedy and startingthe crack epidemic in Los Angeles. None of these allegations have been proven, but that is becausefinding proof is virtually impossible. On top of all of this, the CIA cannot be kept in check. It has authoritythat goes far beyond the president; the agency kept Kennedy only minimally informed about the Bay ofPigs invasion. Until last year, the CIA was not required to release its budget. But according to last year'sbudget, it seems the agency has an unlimited supply of money to perform its dirty deeds â€” unlimitedto the tune of $26 billion dollars. So, with unlimited power, unlimited money and no obligation to divulgeinformation to the public or even the president, the CIA is a power-hungry glutton run amok. What is theuse for this organization? With the elimination of any real Soviet threat, very little nuclear threat and little,if any, threat to the safety of the United States from foreign countries, the CIA seems to have beenrendered useless. What would the U.S. government call an organization that operates outside the rules of diplomacy and is constantly involved in violent actions without regard or respect for human life? Aterrorist group. It is time for the CIA to stop operating under a veil of secrecy and deceit and be exposedas the type of organization it truly is. â€” Corey Lewis, News Editor The Western Front Editor GeneMetrick; Managing Editor: Kristen T.

Wake up call to Western: Apathy will not end war MikeDashiell COMMENTARY Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is brutal and sadistic and has little to offerthe world other than ulcers. He is also clever and, in recent months, has played both the United Statesand the United Nations like a dime-store piano. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan struck a dealSunday with Hussein concerning the opening of eight of Saddam's presidential compounds to U.N.arms inspectors. Annan and Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz signed an accord Monday, which issuspected to detail Saddam's compliance with the United Nation's demands. Annan is scheduled tomeet with the U.N. security council to outline the terms of the agreement. As of Monday, U.S. officialshad not confirmed the details of the accord, due to poor communication systems between the UnitedStates and Iraq. "It is possible that he will come with something that we don't like, in which case we willpursue our national interest," Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Sunday, on ABC's "This Week." Her spokesman, James Rubin, said, "Whatever happens, we will be looking for actions, not words." InHussein's eyes, this ugly conflict has been raging since the United States imposed economicsanctions against his country seven years ago. He sees the inspections as "trampling" the dignity andsovereignty of Iraq. The situation gets uglier as time passes; Saddam has threatened to end allcooperation this spring if the sanctions are not repealed. And the United Nations has legitimatecomplaints. Hussein has persistently toyed with and mocked the most powerful nations in the world.After the 1991 Gulf War, the United Nations ordered Iraq to destroy all long-range missiles and weaponsof mass destruction. British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook has said that the United Nations wouldconsider lifting the sanctions if Hussein gives Annan a written promise to comply with the inspections. After holding out until the last minute, Hussein has complied. The only remaining question is: What willhe do next to piss off the powers that be? For all the talk and positioning, something is being overlooked:people are involved in this, not just politicians and money. At least 25,000 U.S. troops aire in the region.Young adults who joined the armed forces to earn money for college could soon be caught up in theconflict. Since the United Nations first imposed sanctions, Iraq has reported more than a million deaths.Many of the dead are women and children who died because of a lack of food or water. Most of the Iraqis who have suffered due to the sanctions would never touch a bullet or a bomb. But bombs may soon bedropped on them, if the United States is not appeased. Pro-Iraqi protests have erupted across the Middle East. Jordan was forced to send tanks Sunday to control one city's protests. Israel is readying for adifferent kind of attack: On Sunday, leaders decided to distribute antibiotics to the citizens to protectagainst a biological attack. And while the world is going nuts, our nation remains calm. During everymajor war, significant protest and debate has erupted on college campuses. At Western,. hardly amurmur can be heard. Attempts at discussions on the subject seem to be few and far between. "I wish students were more aware of the world instead of living in a bubble," said Heather Gibbons in the Feb. 20 issue of The Western Front. She makes a valid point: Can you honestly say that anything happening onthe national scene affects your daily walk through this world? Does our involvement in the lives of otherswarrant your attention or action? Millions of Americans are part of military families, and currently theirlives are being turned upside down. Families across the world may have their defining moments or waysof life decided in the following weeks. Are we so closed as a town, a community, a culture, that wecan confidently ignore this? Perhaps. We seem quite adept at sitting behind our computers and ignoringanything that happens on a national scale. In a letter to the editor of the Bellingham Herald, Bellinghamresident Libby Chenault talked about what she does on a daily basis to protest war against Iraq: "If I amto call for peace in the Middle East, I must examine my own role in the violence. So I am riding the busand car pooling in solidarity with the Iraqi people. I am riding my bicycle for peace. I am walking forjustice. I will not trade my blood for oil." Saddam Hussein makes a living gambling his country's fate withworld powers that could crush him. Unfortunately, his collateral is every Iraqi citizen and U.N. troop.While we may not have a particular reason to protest or balk at another Gulf War, perhaps we shoulddecide whether this is a gamble we really need to take. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 11 ----------February 24, 1998 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 leit er_ To the Editor: KatherineSchiffner asks, "Where are all the feminist voices during this latest Clinton scandal?" Many of thefeminists are in Washington, D.C., fighting for sanctions against Afghanistan and the atrocitiescommitted against females there daily. Feminists are in Washington, D.C., petitioning to savereproductive rights nationwide. Feminists are in Washington, D.C., lobbying to save affirmative action.Feminists are standing toe-to- toe with the big boys and fighting every step of the way to ensure equalrights for people of any gender, color,-sexual preference, religion or income level. What feminists are not doing is worrying themselves with scandals that are products of media circus rings and are notabout politics. Bill Clinton is not our "poster boy." He is our president. As such, we will continue tobombard him with our presence. Only through communication can people see the majority voice.President Clinton just happens to be one of the few political figures that acknowledges that voice;therefore, the conservatives attack him to further oppress us. You should smarten up, {Catherine.Without people in the world that stand up for our rights, you never would have been able to voice youropinion through an article.

FEATURES/6 WESTERN WASHINGTONUNIVERSITY VOLUME 203 ISSUE 12 TUESDAY February 24, 1998 BELLINGHAM; WASHINGTONCity Council hears master plan complaints By Arvid Hokanson The Western Front Bellingham CityCouncil members faced a standing-room-only chamber of citizens, students and Western officials lastnight as it began the process of reviewing Western's Neighborhood Plan for potential adoption in themonths to come. The public-comment portion of the meeting began with City Planning Director PatriciaDecker and Associate Director Greg Aucutt speaking about the complexity of the plan and the vari- .ous issues involved. Many of the members of the public who spoke expressed confusion about thesize and scope of the plan. "It's understandable that people are confused, and hopefully we cancorrect some of that confusion through this public process," Decker said. "Patricia Decker wasconfused; she didn't know whether to tell us to speak on the Memorandum of Agreement or not," HappyValley resident and citizen activist John Servais said. "She didn't know what they (the city council)should or should not listen to." "It's a difficult process when you're dealing with an institution likeWestern that covers the neighborhood," Decker said. "It's very, very confusing, and that's the problemwith this process," Servais said. After 10 months of tedious review, which included 11 public meetings,the Bellingham City Planning Commission submitted its 38-page "Findings of Fact and Conclusion" onthe neighborhood plan that included a Memorandum of Agreement to the city council at the end of last year. In the proposed Memorandum of Agreement, the city would release Western from complying with the state Growth Management Act until the adoption of the IMP. This has come under fire for beingdisrespectful of the law. The plan, which will be used to develop an Institutional Master Plan, lays outrules for developing Western's regulatory guidelines. Issues included parking, the Viking Unionrenovation, property acquisition and a newly proposed Memorandum of Agreement betweenWestern and the city. "Interest (in Western's neighborhood plan) is greater than any of the otherseven plans already reviewed by the city," Aucutt said. "This neighborhood plan is only a first step indeveloping regulatory plans." Officials from Western then made a short but strong presentation tothe city council, stating their position on the adoption of the neighborhood plan. Western Board ofTrustees Chair Grace Yuan, President Karen Morse, Trustee Charlie Earl and Trustee Warren Gilbert all commented about Western's inevitable growth, increasing enrollment and value to the community, before members of the public spoke. "The Growth Management Act is clouded on development of theuniversity with relation to the city development plans," Earl said. "Development will not occur until thecity and neighborhood have been consulted and an See Plan, page 4 Front/Wendy Giroux Happy Valley resident John Servais addresses Western administrators about the necessity of justifying Western'sacademic needs for the proposed expansion into Happy Valley Viking Union renovation brought beforepublic hearing By Wendy Giroux The Western Front The proposed Viking Union renovation and theremoval of Vendors' Row were vehemently discussed during the public forum at the Bellingham CityCouncil meeting Monday night. At the opening of the meeting, council chairperson Bob Ryan asked forthe signatures of meeting attendees who wished to speak about Vendors' Row. More than ten peoplesigned up, but not all were able to speak due to time constraints. "The most significant part of theproposed plan is the VU remodel â€” it will require a public review process," Greg Aucutt, an associate director of city planning, said. Aucutt said the time frame will allow time for public review beforeconstruction of the final document begins. "The plan-development process involves public participation,"Western President Karen Morse said. Morse spoke about specific issues, including the VU renovation:"The vacation of High Street (will be completed) for safety purposes and to help with the constructionof the plaza," she said. Associated Students President Shane O'Day did not directly address the VUrenovation, but he reiterated Morse's statement. "The purpose of the university is to meet thechanging and growing needs of its student population," O'Day said. April Markowitz representedWestern's staff and faculty; she spoke about the community at Western and its infrastructure. "Weneed to be getting everybody's input â€” getting creative ideas," she said. "In a world that's growing more impersonal, (Vendors' Row is) a human place." Tim McHugh Cookie Table employee and (provides)many inexpensive things of extremely high quality," Robert Monaham, a Bellingham resident for 36years, said. Western junior Theresa Fagin said that she can buy food for a whole school day atVendors' Row for $3.65, compared to the $10 she spends for the same number of snacks and mealsat Mar-riott. "There are two essential differences between Vendors' Row and the Marriott foodservices on campus â€” one (is) quality and cost, and the other half is personal satisfaction," she said.Fagin said she feels the administration did not strive hard enough to seek student views. My voice wasnever sought, and it's 'Western is an enormous cultural asset falling on deaf ears now as I hear more andmore about the renovation plans. Vendors' Row worker Joel Litman presented to the council the 2,700-signature petition in opposition to the renovation plans. Litman said the signatures were collected inonly seven days. "For those of you who might not know, Vendors' Row is a 22-year tradition," Litmansaid. He described the row as "an open-air marketplace â€” kind of similar to Pike's Place Market inSeattle, although considerably smaller." Litman said Vendors' Row "offers an alternative to corporateinterests up at Western, but more importantly, it offers a cultural and political link to the communityâ€” the only link of that kind left at Western today." Litman said it's important to understand thedifference between the existing Vendors' Row and the proposed university- supplied vending spaces.See VLT, page 4 k. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS February 24, 1998 Campus Police Feb. 17,10:42 a.m.: A studentreported her vehicle was damaged in Lot 15R.

THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 3 Looking back at stories from The WesternFront, Winter, 1977 Huxley graduate kidnapped in Colombia A 30-year-old Huxley graduate working inColombia as a Peace Corps volunteer was taken captive by leftist guerrillas on Feb. 14, the StateDepartment reported on Wednesday. Charles Richard Starr was studying the status of vegetation andwildlife in the Macarena mountains, 95 miles southeast of Bogota, when he was kidnapped. HughPerenyi, State Department press officer, said the name of the group who seized Starr had not beenconfirmed. Reports attribute the kidnapping to the pro-communist Revolutionary Armed Forces ofColombia. The kidnapping took place during a two-hour raid on a police outpost. One policeman andone guerrilla were killed in the raid. Starr was the only person taken hostage by the approximately 50guerrillas, witnesses said. Starr graduated from Huxley in 1972 and received his master in botany fromthe University of Wisconsin. Western's liquor license crushed Western's chances for beer and wineservice may have been crippled by Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz's public announcement that he wouldoppose granting liquor licenses to the college. SAGA Food Service and the Viking Union recently madea joint application to the Washington State Liquor Control Board for Class "A" and Class "C" liquorlicenses. If the application goes through, beer and wine service would begin in the Viking Union CoffeeShop's Auxiliary Room. Proposed hours for service are 12 to 7 p.m. weekdays. SAGA would managethe sales and ID checking. Associated Students President Bruce Ayers said Hertz's oppositionmakes it unlikely that Western will be granted the license. "No liquor licenses get through when city hall opposes," he said. Hertz asked for a public hearing in the event that the liquor board shows signs ofissuing the "A" and "C" licenses. He predicted that the Bellingham citizens would oppose issuance 2to 1. Crazed fan charges at entertainer A crazed fan lunged at folk star Al Stewart before hisperformance in Carver Gym on Friday, Jan. 21. The young man, who called himself Lord Granville, wasdragged off the stage by road crew members after bounding toward Stewart during a pre-concertrehearsal. Jacques Duchesneau, 22, of Montreal, was arrested by campus security officers andcharged with simple assault. "He was heading straight for Stewart, no two ways about it," said WarrenErksine, security director for the Program Commission. Duchesneau apparently hid in a Carverclassroom after being kicked out earlier in the day by concert officials. Another program commissioner said he put a "hex" on the concert prior to his ejection. The man was chased from the classroom by apatrolling security officer. He then ran and jumped onto the stage where rehearsal was in progress.Stewart's roadies recognized Duchesneau from the previous encounter and quickly surrounded him.One of the workers was struck by the intruder. The man reportedly yelled lyrics from Stewart's songsand "Why did you bring me back from the dead?" at Stewart as he ran at him. Duchesneau denied thathe had threatened Stewart.

"I'm not saying the food is badâ€” but for the amount we pay, it could be better," said Tony Im, a volunteer at the Ethnic Student Center.Other clubs also have complaints with Marriott, including the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Alliance. TheLGBA paid Marriott $74.10 to provide beverages for 30 people, Jess Torcaso, a staff member at theLGBA, said. "It puts us in a no-win situation," Torcaso said. "As a university organization, we'rerequired to use Marriott." Co-coordinator of the Women's Center Christa Orth said she would like tosupport off-campus businesses, but "our purchase orders would not be approved if we tried to get an off-campus business to cater our events." Marriott's services and prices are negotiated in their contractwith Western Viking Union Director Jack Smith. "They have an exclusive right to provide university foodservice, but we retain the right to allow special events ... after consultation with Marriott," Smithsaid.

But these packages do not include delivery, setup or cleanup, said Larry Stahlberg, generalmanager of University and Dining Services. "When the (AS clubs) want full catering service, then weprovide that, which does cost more," Stahlberg said. "A club can pick up, set up and clean up food from Marriott." Last spring, the Sexual Awareness Center sponsored an Aphrodisiac Party that Marriottcatered. "It's good food and it's gorgeous," Ellen Chesley, assistant coordinator of the SexualAwareness Center said. "But we're limited by what Marriott can do." "Toasted almonds areaphrodisiacs ... but Marriott couldn't provide them," Chesley said. Clubs can provide their own food ifthey get a catering waiver, Smith said. In order to get an off-campus catering waiver, an AS club mustdisclose several things, including the name of the catering company or caterers, and the location of foodpreparation, according to the Viking Union Petition for "Other than Marriott" Food Service. Clubs mustalso say if they have already asked Marriott to provide the food. The waiver will most likely be acceptedif the food is from home, an ethnic specialty, or donated, Stahlberg said. Marriott will help if they can, he said. "The Ethnic Student Center has a different issue: usually food offered by the ESC is ethnic,"Gajee Parsons, an ESC volunteer, said. Tyler Jones, assistant coordinator for the ESC, said the ESChas used Marriott's food service for many events. On Nov. 1,1997, the ESC sponsored an event titledFaces of America where Marriott provided beverages after the event in one of the Viking eateries, Jonessaid. "When we cater things, we want ethnic food, and they already stated they won't do ethnic food;" Jones said. "Nothing was set up and people were waiting around for 30 minutes for Marriott to bringwhat was ordered," he said. Jones' said his job at the ESC keeps him so busy that he doesn't alwaysnotice when Marriott has done its job right, only when Marriott messes up. Marriott's contract withWestern will end in July of 2000. At that time, anyone can bid for a food service contract at Western. "Afree market is operating when we go out for a bid," Jack Smith, director of Viking Union said. Smithadded that there are usually three or four bidders. As with all bidding processes, whoever offers thebest plan gets the contract, Smith said. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 4 ---------- A â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS February 24, 1998 Hi-tech dinosaurs come alive at Western ByCaroline Deck The Western Front Computer-generated dinosaurs came to Western yesterday, but theywere not created by Steven Speilberg. Professor Michael Parrish lectured Monday in Fraser Hall 2about cyberpaleontology, which incorporates the study of dinosaurs using current computertechnology.

Is Western telling the city what to do?" Happy Valley resident Joe Deeny asked.Carlie Casey lives just south of campus on Indian Terrace, which according to the master plan theuniversity wishes to acquire. He expressed his support for the university and the university'sfriendliness in trying to acquire his home. "I was surprised and hurt by the suggestions that we don'tlove Western, or that we want Western to go away," Servais said. The Institutional Master Plan is being used for only the second time. The city used it successfully with St. Joseph Hospital, which lies withinthe Cornwall Park neighborhood. A portion of the agreement states, "During the period of transitionbetween now and the time agreement is reached on an Institutional Master Plan or this agreement isterminated, the city will process university permit applications as set forth herein. The city will not delayor prohibit permit processing even though the Institutional Master Plan has not yet been approved bythe city. The city will review each permit application to ensure compliance with all applicabledevelopment regulations as set forth in this memorandum." Happy Valley resident and former citycouncil member Tip Johnson commented that the city would most likely not sign an agreement with anyother party that had proceeded without check as far as Western has. "We hear that our needs areimportant and the universities are essential," Johnson said. The public-comment period will continuenext month at 7 p.m., March 23rd, in the city council chambers.

He said the difference is that Vendors' Row is acommunity and cultural center, whereas Bellis Fair is a commercial center. "Vendors' Row is a placewhere people show up to gather and protest different issues of concern," part-time cookie vendor TimMcHugh said. "A student can show up without any money and get a snack and a cup of coffee and it's ok, the food and coffee vendors are based upon the honor system," he said.

Stevens to study themovements of sauropodsâ€”long-necked, herbivorous dinosaurs such as the brontosaurus. Accordingto a press release from Western's Public Information Office, Parrish and Stevens have recordeddimensions from the United States and Europe of sauropod vertebrae and recorded them ontocomputers. Parrish and Stevens have been working on this project for about three years, usually inspurts, Parrish said. They were, brought together when Stevens took a class from Parrish aboutdinosaurs. They were standing under the enormous skeleton of a dinosaur when they concocted the idea of a computer generated analysis, Parrish said. "One thing that distinguishes dinosaurs from othermammals is that most mammals stop growing when they reach maturity," Parrish said. "This isn't thecase with dinosaurs." The enormous size of dinosaurs is what makes them extremely interesting,Parrish said. It is because of their enormous size, however, that dinosaur bones are like huge stonesand hard to move, Parrish said. The computers helped to solve this problem. Parrish and Stevensworked to isolate the constraints of dinosaurs' bodies, such as bone structure and joint capsules.This information was included with recorded data about particular dinosaurs, mostly theApatosaurus louisae, Parrish said. Parrish and Stevens found that the neck vertebrae had "21 degreesof freedom" and, using a 3-D graphics program, could see the difference between a "neutral positionâ€”or the relaxed positionâ€” and an eating or walking position, Parrish said. In the neutral pose, thedinosaur's head actually tipped down and usually did not rise above shoulder height, Parrish said. Thiscontrasts with traditional ideas that long-necked dinosaurs kept their head high to reach tall plants.With their research, Parrish and Stevens have found that the dinosaurs were very flexible animals,Parrish said. "That's what the bones suggest. Of course, there would have been skin and muscularrestraints, also," Parrish said. The accuracy of the project seems to be very high, said Parrish. Theproject was first tested with giraffes, and the results were very close. Countless hours were spentfiguring the function of the zygapophyses, a vertebrae that helps link the spine together, said Parrish.They found that the closer the zygapophyses are together, the less flexible the animal was.jH^^M^^i^iilP^fe^^ii^^li^ii' fS^StiD;^ |iht^ducriQ^ Ir^fcibns!:^ iy0Thej;faifc^ : : : : 1 ^ t Â£^ nasium, wherestudents interested in areas ranging ;.;fr^m!;mtern^ 5;elt;|:a^ ;fienfe^ ::$Kan^^ f Â§ l | f e ^ ^ but.Â§E|iÂ§^^ coprdina-lilflij^^ : wprk- Â§ s | | | ^ workshop | | f a | | ^ | | | | Â§ ^ Â§Wi@ni|;;^ ! l | | | ^ ^ â€¢heacls. the |fÂ§hma:;:|^ and yriH^e- | | ^ : : l t t ^ fair, con- ^â€¢JfcaSGt' ;f^the^lJEaLi^Np â€¢;;^B|^ireEf"^c^Jb^ss" website at Graduate School Anyone?

Dominating the room, the pianosdemand attention, and Jeffrey Gilliam, Western's associate professor of music, complies â€” althoughnot as often as By Sara Magnuson he' d uke. in Gilliam's The Western Front Utopian world, he wouldpractice five to six hours per day. Former student Tony Keil offered an observation. "The color of his hairdescribes his intensity â€” the bright orange-red color." Music has been a part of Gilliam's life since hewas six years old. He was a choir boy, but singing was just part of the package. He was fortunateenough to receive individual theory lessons, which he said is almost unheard of. Through these lessons,he learned to compose â€” something he said he will be eternally grateful for. "You have to either playsomething someone else wrote, or else compose it yourself," he pointed out. Of course, playingsomeone else's music isn't all bad. Many musicians have inspired him. Apparently, composer FranzSchubert has had considerable impact; Gilliam's computer hard drive is labled with the composer'sname. And, as the computer is a continuous reminder of his inspiration, a floor-to-ceiling columntestifies to his accomplishments: secured with tacks, multiple programs boast his and his students' recitals. Students are a huge part of his life. Diane Greenburg, who has worked with Gilliam, said, "Heeven takes times out of his own schedule, on weekends, to help students." But their accomplishmentsaren't his only source of pride. "I like being here. That's an accomplishment," Gilliam stated. Gilliamobtained his undergraduate education in the states. From there, a scholarship allowed him theopportunity to study in Germany. His stay in Europe was extended, and he found himself inSwitzerland attending the International Menuhin Music Academy, a school specializing in the study ofstring instruments. He said he worked diligently at the not-so-fun stuff because he was young and eagerto do anything. It wasn't all busywork. He also followed the students on competition trips, Gilliam said. "I know small-town America like a presidential candidate," he declared. However, he's no stranger to theother side of the world. A boy visiting the school invited him to Thailand. He said he enjoys playing infamiliar areas, despite the adventure of a foreign place. "There's more of an edge going to a place whereyou don't know anyone," he said. His face became pensive as he tried to recall the thoughts that occupy his mind while he is performing. "I try not to think of the piano," he admitted. "It's too limiting. I try tosilence the chatterbox in my head." His story about a runner illustrates his point. If a man is racing, andsuddenly he stops to contemplate the fact that they're running, it can throw off his concentration. To avoid that catastrophe, pianists ought to be so familiar with the music that it's almost second nature, he said.Prior to a performance, Gilliam might practice a piece of music for months. "I know a piece so well that Ican trick myself into believing that I composed it," he said, grinning. Right now, Gilliam is exploring theConcord Sonata by Charles Ives â€” a task comparable to reading Ulysses. The first time through thepiece, pianists haven't a hope of understanding it; they must immerse themselves in it. "You live in (Ives')world â€” in his mess, in his dreams, in his philosophies," he explained. While he plays, his perspectivechanges. "Like in a play, if I'm always intense, you'll get tired of me." Gilliam said he absorbs knowledgewhile accompanying. "I make my personality a chameleon," to fit the musician's style. But he saidaccompanying is oppressive â€” the pianist wears a leash held by the performer. "If I only (accompanied)for a lifetime, it would be scarring for my musical psyche," he said. Solos are important because "youget to flex your own musical muscles." Gilliam said he the learning process never ends. "The momentyou think you've got it all figured out, you're dead," he said matter-of-factly. Gilliam is encouraged toexpress his visions for the department, one of which is to see more mingling between pianists. Eliteschools tend to be more one-on-one, which he said is good, but "pianists tend to lead lonely lives â€” inpractice rooms and cubicles." Of his breed Gilliam admitted, "We're a little special."

No matter their choices of transportation, people arealways trying to make it faster. If someone took a trip back a few thousand years, odds are she wouldsee Grog rolling around on the newly invented wheel, wondering how he could make the thing movefaster. Contemporary uprights are much the same way, and the popular choice of toy is now theautomobile. When the idea of a fast car is brought up, people think of names like Ferrari, Viper, Lotus,Corvette and BMW. But rare indeed is the moniker of Volkswagen mentioned. However, the image ofVolkswagen is changing, and all because of people like Shawn Van Neer. Van Neer is a Volkswagentuner who spends his days turning Germany's less-expensive answer to lead-footed drivers from stockautomobiles into entirely different animals â€” cars that can eat traditional speed demons for breakfastand then be driven home in comfort. He has made such metamorphoses happen for the past 10 yearsat Ron's Parts in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Last July, he opened his own shop, calledMomentum Motorsports, up in Port Moody, B.C., where he and cohort Brian Ng work some seriousmechanical magic on some of Germany's finest. Some of his deeds include being the first person in theworld to yank the four-cylinder engine out of a Rabbit and replace it with Volkswagen's rather potent VR6, a 172-horsepower, six-cylinder engine that forms the basis for many of Momentum's projects. But justdropping an engine into a little VW is hardly enough for Van Neer, for his wares extend much further thanswapping. Usually he will add a few go-fast goodies to the motor and the rest of the car before it leaveshis shop. One of his recent examples is a 1992 Golf II VR6. This black beauty has a whopping 280horsepower just waiting to be unleashed by the driver's foot. Considering that the fastest car BMW sendsto this side of the Atlantic is the heavier 240-horsepower M3, it seems obvious that Van Neer is doingsomething right. Although giving a car barely bigger than a bread box enough power to rip the skin offyour face can be truly exhilarating, Van Neer considers this car far from finished. Usually he upgrades the wheels and tires, suspension and brakes, leaving the customer with a car that can corner like adragonfly and stop fast enough to yank your eyeballs out. Basically, Momentum takes Volkswagens toanother level. "We're trying to overachieve what people have already done," Van Neer said. And if thatisn't enough, he has more than enough imagination for new projects. "We're building a VR6 turbo Rabbit," Van Neer said. Having already put a VR6 into a Rabbitgt; he knows what this can do. But he's going totur-bocharge it as well, giving it that much more oomph. When he and Ng are done with it, this littlewonder will be putting out about 375 horsepower â€” far more than almost any car coming out of Detroit,Japan or Germany these days â€” in a car about the size â€” and shape â€” of a toaster. And if this stillisn't enough, Van Neer has even more up his sleeve. "We're building a VR6 turbo, Syncro Cabriolet," VanNeer said with what seemed to be a smidgen of drool on the corner of his mouth. When complete,some lucky person will get to drive home a cozy little convertible with a four-wheel-drive system similar toAudi's and Subaru's, but with enough power to stretch that already huge smile all the way around thedriver's face. Although Van Neer loves Volkswagens, he doesn't limit himself. "Audi, VW, Mercedesand BMW â€” that's my forte," he said. However, Van Neer seems partial to VWs, and it is interesting tosee why. "It's primarily about Volkwagen as the underdog," he said, grinning. "When you beat somebody, you don't just beat them. You embarass them." Coming from a man who scrubs the pavement withCorvettes and Mustangs as often as he does, the little mites must have something appealing; drivingan appliance-shaped car at speeds around 150 mph would have to be entertaining, except in cases of aweak constitution. In this situation, the best bet is to change shorts and go back to a Geo. Van Neeradmitted that although driving a sooped-up VW can be loads of fun, what he does for each car ultimatelyboils down to what the customer wants. Many of the modifications he can perform have undesirable,yet expected, side effects. Lowering a car and tightening its suspension will make it corner like there is no tomorrow, but it may hurt riding comfort. Tuning an engine to achieve race-car-like performace willmake the car fly like a rocket, but everyday drivability will suffer. What it comes down to is what thecar's owner desires, is willing to compromise and can afford. Van Neer makes these compromises easyto handle. He is one of the premier tuners in North America, with profiles of his work having beenpublished in European Car magazine â€” an authority on vehicles from the other side of the pond â€”eight times. He said with pride that he knows what he is doing when people drop off their babies. VanNeer makes temporarily handing over the keys even easier for his customers in another important way: he doesn't charge much in respect to what he does. Putting a VR6 under the hood of the typical mild-mannered VW is a common feat for Van Neer, and he doesn't ask owners to part with a lot of money ortime with their cars. "A standard VR6 swap in a '91 to '96 is about a week â€” five working days," VanNeer said. He added that the procedure will cost "anywhere from $3,800 to $6,500," depending on anyother work he and Ng have to do. So, for a moderate amount of scratch, VW owners can give their prideand joy a lot more go. For a few dollars more, they can also give it a bunch more stop. And for theproverbial icing on the cake, they can have plenty more grip on the twisty roads and a ton more style toboot. But it all goes back to doing things faster, and Van Neer is one who never actually realizes "fastenough." He will continue to do what is thought to be impossible and continue to make all the Grogs inhis ancestry proud. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 7 ---------- February 24, 1998 FEATURES THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 Front/Ken Brierly Mike Brown tries out the 1977AMC Eagle he bought at the Bellingham Public Auto Auction because of its stunning good looks.Somewhere out in the county, a gray pickup's canopy is packed full of marijuana, its cargo headed forthe incinerator. In Bellingham, a young man discovers the drug-seizure car he bought at an autoauction two days before wasn't as good a deal as he thought it was. At the truck crossing in Blaine, acustoms administrator talks about drug disposal, seized goods and relays stories of his many yearsworking with the U.S. Customs. The street value of the cargo in the pot-packed pickup is $70 million,said Ron Peterson, who coordinates the burns for the Whatcom County Sheriff's Department. "We do iton an 'as-needed' basis," Peterson said of the evidence disposal process. They're called "security burns"â€” for good reason. "We don't announce when or where (the incineration) will be," Peterson said. "Wedon't want to jeopardize the safety of the officers involved." "We use a different transport vehicle everytime. We drive the truck through the building's doors, see that the furnace is on, load the narcotics into the furnace and close the doors," Peterson said. "It's 2,000 degrees in there. After a while, we open thefurnace doors and make sure the drugs are disposed of." U.S. Customs seized 335 boats and 12,500cars world wide last year. John Hollstein, U.S. Customs Operational Enforcement Analyst, said, "Whengoods are seized, ownership of the items is applied to the government." Anything brought to the UnitedStates is subject to licensing and fees. Therefore, part of the job of enforcing the nation's boundaries isseizing prohibited or undeclared goods; in the case of drug smuggling, the vehicle of transport is alsoforfeited. "Property can be destroyed, sold at an auction and sometimes is put to (government) use,"Hollstein said. Bellingham resident Mike Brown bought a car at the Bellingham Public Auto Auction onSaturday; by Monday, the car was broken and in need of major repairs. The car had been seized by theNorthwest Drug Task Force. "What a piece of junk," Brown said, referring to the bronze 1977 AMC Eagle he paid $800 for"; the car needs'a new transmission. The 23-year-old Brown said that at an auction,"buying a car is a crapshoot â€” you never know what you're going to get. That's why the selling pricesare so low." Brown said a new transmission will cost more than he paid for the car. "I'll probably neverbuy at an auction again," Brown said. "I just thought the car was so ugly that it was cool." The moneygenerated from the sale of the seized items goes into the public coffers. During recent years, theinternational border at Blaine has become a major trafficking area for British Columbia-grown marijuanamoving into the United States. "Marijuana is the biggie now," Hollstein said. According to The Vancouver Sun, the province is the world's top exporter of hydroponics- grown marijuana. When large amounts of drugs are found, Hollstein said they are held for evidence pending charges and trial for the smuggler.Customs releases the drugs to the jurisdiction in charge of the case. They are usually incinerated. "If it's only a couple of (marijuana) roaches, they could be flushed down the toilet," Hollstein said. "Pills couldbe ground and flushed." After his many years working for customs, Hollstein has worked his way up theemployment ladder. He leaned back in the chair behind his desk, hands folded behind his head. Histop-floor office at the Blaine truck crossing has an expansive view of the Canadian Cascades. He hasa wealth of stories. He relates one from several years earlier, when he was working in a different part ofthe country: "I think it was opium. They used to incinerate that. The birds liked it. They used to sit ontop of the smokestack and one by one, fall to the ground."

Ranked fifth in the PacificNorthwest Athletic conference going into the contest, the Vikings needed a win this weekend to move up in the conference rankings. "At the beginning of the year we had hopes of being the number one ornumber two seed," Assistant Coach Tony Dominguez said. "Tilings didn't go our way there for a week;so now we were in the position where we had to win tonight." The Warriors, who won the league title two years ago, were led by transfer forward Jonathon George, who scored 31 points and grabbed eightrebounds. Western's Jared" Stevenson scored in double figures for the fifteenth consecutive game as helead the Vikings with 24 points and seven boards. L-C State won the tip; Warrior forward George, whoestablished his presence early, was the first to score in the game. Western soon struck back with athree-point basket that gave the Vikings a lead they would not relinquish until late in the first half. As the half wound down, the Warriors took advantage of sloppy passing to gain the lead with 3:24 remainingin the half. Completing the last three minutes of the first half in a press, the Warriors added to their leadand headed into the locker room up by eight points. George scored 17 first half points and grabbed three offensive rebounds while putting on an offensive display. "He was our main topic of discussion at half-time," freshman guard Jeff Chapman said. "We said whoever takes him has to work hard to get in front,and that we really have to trust our defense behind us for the help-side." The two Western guards,Chapman and Stevenson, led the Vikings in the first half by scoring 18 of the team's 31 points. "We toldour players at half-time just to relax," Jackson said. "They were very frustrated because our shotsweren't going down." "We were trying to figure out a way to stop George, but they were really finding the seams and hitting little jumpers along the baseline," Jackson said. "We weren't rotating very well,so we just said forget and decided to go after them." L-C State opened the second half with the sameintensity that they had at the end of the first. With hot hands and good defensive doubling of the ball, the Warriors took their biggest lead of the game, 48-38, with 14 minutes left to play in the game. TheVikings got a late spark in the game from forward Michael Greene who hit a three-point shot with 12minutes left to play. Soon to follow were three more three-point bombs that had the crowd going nuts."We had some big plays," Jackson said. "Really, one of the keys to the game was Dave Mott becauseeven though it won't show up on the stat sheets, he got his fourth foul with about ten minutes left,"Jackson said. "We decided to keep Western forward Ryan Kettman him in the game because he's oneof our big guys â€” we felt he was the most energized and was working the hardest and click-ing." Withfine rebounding and free-throw shooting, the Vikings sealed the victory, 75-68, despite a Front/AaronDahl harrasses Lewis-Clark State's Jonathon George (with bail). poor field-goal shooting percentage of.400. "We looked at this as our first playoff game and that's how we approached it," Jackson said.Western's next men's basketball game is at Hawaii-Pacific on Thursday, Feb. 26. No matter how theregular season ends, the Vikings will play The Evergreen State College in the opening round of theplayoffs March 4. Due to the similar conference records of both teams, the site of the game has yet to be determined.

Western couldn't stop L-C State's perimeter game as the Warriors hit 15 of 24 three-point attempts. L-C State forward Rosie Albert led all scorers with a career-high 38 points on ll-of-18 shooting â€” hitting 7 of 9 from three-point range. "They have so many good three-point shooters â€”Albert, (Jodi) Benson, (Robin) Berg," sophomore center Celeste Hill said. "They each had three three-pointers in the first half alone. It was so frustrating because we were in their faces, but the shots justkept dropping." "It's just our luck," she added, "that whenever we play a team, someone has a careerday." The Warriors hit nine of their first 11 three-point attempts, enabling them to take a 32-23 lead withsix minutes left in the first half. But Western charged back on the strength of a 10-1 run, tying the gameat 33 apiece. Western took the lead 39-38 when Hill hit an eight-footer from inside the key. The Vikingsled 41- 40 with just seconds remaining in the half, but Albert hit a two-point buzzer beater to give L-CState a one-point lead at the intermission. Four Western players scored in double-digits. Hill led thebalanced attack with 20 points and nine rebounds. Senior guard Heidi VanBrocklin chipped in 13points and two steals. Guard Amanda Olsen and forward Nicole Krell each added 10 points. Midwaythrough the second half, leading 54-53, the Warriors hit three consecutive three-pointers â€” two byAlbert and one by guard Jennifer Marquardt â€” to take a commanding 10-point lead, 63-53, with 11:49remaining. But Western continued to battle, scoring nine straight points and pulling to within one point when freshman forward Pamela Lovely hit a wide-open Hill under the basket for the easy lay-in. "Wedon't quit â€” we're fighters," Hill said. "We've been through a lot this season, and we're not going tolay down and die for anyone." With the Warriors mamtaining a six-point lead, 76-70, Western stillwouldn't give in. Krell hit with a three-pointer to cut the lead to three. After a two-pointer by Albert, Krellblocked a shot and dished to freshman guard Briana Abrahamsen for the easy lay-up, cutting the deficitback to Front/Aaron Dahl Western forward Sara Nichols desperately attempts to steal the ball from L-CState point guard Amanda Campbell in the closing seconds of Western's 84-79 loss to the Warriors lastSaturday. three points with just under two minutes remaining. Western had two more chances to pulleven late in the game. Down 78-75, with 1:30 remaining, Hill scored on a drive and was fouled, but shefailed to convert the three-point play.

Albert put the game out of reach with 13.8 seconds to go when she hittwo free-throws to give L-C State an 84-79 advantage. Even after the loss, the Western remains in athree-way tie for second in the PNWAC. Western, L-C State and St. Martin's are all 5-4 in conferenceplay. Western (18-7) has beaten five nationally-ranked opponents this season. They will make theplayoffs â€” the question is will they surge in or flounder out? "I think we've done everything we can,"Hill said. "We've focused on the things we need to focus on, we take extra shots after practice, wepractice free-throws; we're doing the things we need to do to be successful." "It's time for stuff to startfalling our way," she added. "We're due." Viking players make rugby all-star team By Meredith Lofbergand Amy Christiansen The Western Front Six members of Western's men's rugby team were selectedto be members of the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Union All-Star team, which competed against theFraser Valley Under-23 All-Stars in Langley, British Colum-bia, on Sunday. Dan Moseley, Matt North,Nathan Spitler, Mike Hemphill, Jeff Klinger and Judson Heller were chosen to play with about 15 otherplayers from NCRU, the Canadian league that Western's Warthogs compete in. Each team in the league was allowed to contribute five players. Since NCRU had fewer than the usual 20 players on its side,Western was allowed six all-stars. The usual number of players on each team's side is 20. The 80-minute game resulted in a Fraser Valley victory, 25-0. The NCRU team had one pre-game practice onFriday evening at Trinity Western University in Langley. Moseley, who played inside center, said the lack of preparation may have hurt the team's chance for success. "We would have been more prepared if we had more practice," Moseley said. "We didn't even know the names of most of the people on ourteam." NCRU held off Fraser Valley for most of the first half. Twenty-five minutes into the game, Fraserran 50 meters to score the first try. A try in rugby is similar to a touchdown in American football andallows the scoring team a place-kick for an extra point. Klinger, playing prop, carried the ball into the tryzone to score, but the referee did not award the try, ruling that the ball was held up by the oppositionand did not award the try to NCRU. "We played really well in the first half, but they pulled it out in thesecond," Moseley said. "I think our forwards played really well, especially in the first half," North, whoplayed eight-man, said. "We rucked really well; our scrums blew them off the ball. The line-outs wereuntouchable." Fraser came out strong in the second half, scoring another try after six minutes of play.Two minutes later, they were once again at their try-zone. A rash of NCRU penalties and a quick-handed Fraser back line led to two more Fraser Valley tries before the game was over. The score was20-0 after Fraser kicked the ball. 70 meters downfield and recovered the loose ball in their try zone toscore. A Fraser player was tackled in goal after a short break-away run to score what turned out to bethe final try of the game. "We played well considering (Fraser Valley) is a really good team," Moseleysaid. The Warthogs will play Trinity Western University Wednesday afternoon in Langley, and CentralWashington University on Saturday at 1 p.m. on Arntzen Field. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT OPINIONS February 24, 1998 Corruption in CIA: And this is news?Well, well, well. It seems the CIA is finally ready to admit what the public has known for 37 years. OnSaturday, the Associated Press obtained recently de-classified documents in which the shady andsecretive agency blames itself for the botched Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. Ignorance, incompetenceand arrogance are what the document called the CIA's efforts to overthrow Cuba's Fidel Castro. For theinvasion, the CIA recruited 1,400 Cuban exiles to stage a coup attempt against Castro. Of those soldiers,200 were killed and 1,197 were captured and later released to the United States. The document statedthat the CIA did not give the operation "the top-flight handling which it required." Apparently, the CIAoperatives who trained the rebels did not speak Spanish and "treated the Cubans like dirt." The $46-million invasion went forward with the "pathetic illusion" of deniability even after reports came out thatthe U.S. government was involved with a possible plan to invade Cuba. But after the invasion, whichreportedly left President John F. Kennedy in tears, the CIA denied any wrongdoing. It blamed Kennedy for not sending in air strikes to back up the invasion. That's all good â€” except for the fact that the missionwas supposed to look like a coup with no U.S. involvement. But the bigger issue is not just what wentwrong with the Bay of Pigs invasion; it is what is wrong with the CIA. This is not the only incident inwhich the CIA has demonstrated its arrogant tendencies. Rather, it is an organization built uponarrogance, power and deceit. The agency's shady history includes such dubious allegations as beinginvolved in the assassinations of many foreign leaders, the assassination of John F. Kennedy and startingthe crack epidemic in Los Angeles. None of these allegations have been proven, but that is becausefinding proof is virtually impossible. On top of all of this, the CIA cannot be kept in check. It has authoritythat goes far beyond the president; the agency kept Kennedy only minimally informed about the Bay ofPigs invasion. Until last year, the CIA was not required to release its budget. But according to last year'sbudget, it seems the agency has an unlimited supply of money to perform its dirty deeds â€” unlimitedto the tune of $26 billion dollars. So, with unlimited power, unlimited money and no obligation to divulgeinformation to the public or even the president, the CIA is a power-hungry glutton run amok. What is theuse for this organization? With the elimination of any real Soviet threat, very little nuclear threat and little,if any, threat to the safety of the United States from foreign countries, the CIA seems to have beenrendered useless. What would the U.S. government call an organization that operates outside the rules of diplomacy and is constantly involved in violent actions without regard or respect for human life? Aterrorist group. It is time for the CIA to stop operating under a veil of secrecy and deceit and be exposedas the type of organization it truly is. â€” Corey Lewis, News Editor The Western Front Editor GeneMetrick; Managing Editor: Kristen T.

Wake up call to Western: Apathy will not end war MikeDashiell COMMENTARY Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is brutal and sadistic and has little to offerthe world other than ulcers. He is also clever and, in recent months, has played both the United Statesand the United Nations like a dime-store piano. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan struck a dealSunday with Hussein concerning the opening of eight of Saddam's presidential compounds to U.N.arms inspectors. Annan and Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz signed an accord Monday, which issuspected to detail Saddam's compliance with the United Nation's demands. Annan is scheduled tomeet with the U.N. security council to outline the terms of the agreement. As of Monday, U.S. officialshad not confirmed the details of the accord, due to poor communication systems between the UnitedStates and Iraq. "It is possible that he will come with something that we don't like, in which case we willpursue our national interest," Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Sunday, on ABC's "This Week." Her spokesman, James Rubin, said, "Whatever happens, we will be looking for actions, not words." InHussein's eyes, this ugly conflict has been raging since the United States imposed economicsanctions against his country seven years ago. He sees the inspections as "trampling" the dignity andsovereignty of Iraq. The situation gets uglier as time passes; Saddam has threatened to end allcooperation this spring if the sanctions are not repealed. And the United Nations has legitimatecomplaints. Hussein has persistently toyed with and mocked the most powerful nations in the world.After the 1991 Gulf War, the United Nations ordered Iraq to destroy all long-range missiles and weaponsof mass destruction. British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook has said that the United Nations wouldconsider lifting the sanctions if Hussein gives Annan a written promise to comply with the inspections. After holding out until the last minute, Hussein has complied. The only remaining question is: What willhe do next to piss off the powers that be? For all the talk and positioning, something is being overlooked:people are involved in this, not just politicians and money. At least 25,000 U.S. troops aire in the region.Young adults who joined the armed forces to earn money for college could soon be caught up in theconflict. Since the United Nations first imposed sanctions, Iraq has reported more than a million deaths.Many of the dead are women and children who died because of a lack of food or water. Most of the Iraqis who have suffered due to the sanctions would never touch a bullet or a bomb. But bombs may soon bedropped on them, if the United States is not appeased. Pro-Iraqi protests have erupted across the Middle East. Jordan was forced to send tanks Sunday to control one city's protests. Israel is readying for adifferent kind of attack: On Sunday, leaders decided to distribute antibiotics to the citizens to protectagainst a biological attack. And while the world is going nuts, our nation remains calm. During everymajor war, significant protest and debate has erupted on college campuses. At Western,. hardly amurmur can be heard. Attempts at discussions on the subject seem to be few and far between. "I wish students were more aware of the world instead of living in a bubble," said Heather Gibbons in the Feb. 20 issue of The Western Front. She makes a valid point: Can you honestly say that anything happening onthe national scene affects your daily walk through this world? Does our involvement in the lives of otherswarrant your attention or action? Millions of Americans are part of military families, and currently theirlives are being turned upside down. Families across the world may have their defining moments or waysof life decided in the following weeks. Are we so closed as a town, a community, a culture, that wecan confidently ignore this? Perhaps. We seem quite adept at sitting behind our computers and ignoringanything that happens on a national scale. In a letter to the editor of the Bellingham Herald, Bellinghamresident Libby Chenault talked about what she does on a daily basis to protest war against Iraq: "If I amto call for peace in the Middle East, I must examine my own role in the violence. So I am riding the busand car pooling in solidarity with the Iraqi people. I am riding my bicycle for peace. I am walking forjustice. I will not trade my blood for oil." Saddam Hussein makes a living gambling his country's fate withworld powers that could crush him. Unfortunately, his collateral is every Iraqi citizen and U.N. troop.While we may not have a particular reason to protest or balk at another Gulf War, perhaps we shoulddecide whether this is a gamble we really need to take. ---------- Western Front - 1998 February 24 - Page 11 ---------- February 24, 1998 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 leit er_ To the Editor: KatherineSchiffner asks, "Where are all the feminist voices during this latest Clinton scandal?" Many of thefeminists are in Washington, D.C., fighting for sanctions against Afghanistan and the atrocitiescommitted against females there daily. Feminists are in Washington, D.C., petitioning to savereproductive rights nationwide. Feminists are in Washington, D.C., lobbying to save affirmative action.Feminists are standing toe-to- toe with the big boys and fighting every step of the way to ensure equalrights for people of any gender, color,-sexual preference, religion or income level. What feminists are not doing is worrying themselves with scandals that are products of media circus rings and are notabout politics. Bill Clinton is not our "poster boy." He is our president. As such, we will continue tobombard him with our presence. Only through communication can people see the majority voice.President Clinton just happens to be one of the few political figures that acknowledges that voice;therefore, the conservatives attack him to further oppress us.

Our own Bernard Sullivan was interviewing her as he thought regal articles would go over bigger in "tapping the line with Sully" than Y. W. C. A. notices. "You know, Sully," coughed Her Majesty, as Sully firmly but politely refused the cigaret of a St. Louis firm which she had pressed on him, "It's a toss-up whether to lunch at the Chuckanut Manor or at the Normal Cafeteria, while passing through your rich country, abounding in resources, its delightful climate." A child could tell you that the Chamber of Commerce had peddled a lot of bulletins even into Rumania. Deftly the queen removed a diamond studded tiara, and scratched her head.' With that trained and alert mind that Sully continually carries with him, he .could tell that she was thinking. Man of action that he is, Sully did nothing. "My daughter, Ileana—or something like that, is still, well, very young—^and unmarried." Here she gave a knowing wink at iSully. "I've decided when II—II..." "Ileana," whispered Sully.

Coach Sam Carver's Viking grid-ders have been going through some stiff workouts this week, in preparation for what will probably be the most crucial encounter of the season. The Bellingham-Ellensburg game, scheduled to be played in the eastern city's arena at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, will without a doubt put both teams to their utmost. Ellensburg, on its record this year, appears strong. The Tri-Normal title is at stake in tomorrow's battle, consequently a win for the Bellingham team will mean much. Coach Boy Sandberg's Eastern Washington team holds victories over two strong squads in the junior conference, namely, the U. of I. Frosh and the U. of W. Frosh. For the first time in many years, Ellensburg is conceded a good chance of defeating both of its Normal rivals—Bellingham and Cheney. Ellensburg Powerful. Ellensburg holds a 6-0 verdict over the U. of W. Frosh, while Normal played a 0-0 tie with them. All indications point to a close and exciting contest. Coaches Carver and Keeney have been drilling the squad all week in preparation for this important game. Many combinations have been worked on. In the last two turnouts only one-half the men that started the initial game of the season have been practicing on the first squad. Both the line and backfield have seen radical changes in their personnel. At center, Don Stickney and Eddie Hyde are having a stirring battle for the position. On Wednesday Blizzard and Baxter were at the guard posts, neither of whom saw service in the opening contest. Blizzard, after a slow start, has been improving rapidly. Shelton and Chris-man seem to have the. tackle positions well in hand. Thorsen and Drake are doped to start at the end positions tomorrow. With Edmundson and Brown in reserve, four strong wing men will be on hand. (Continued on Page Three) Former Normal Football Star Is Accidently Killed RICHARD BRULAND, Former Normal Football Star Richard Bruland, formerly a student at the Bellingham Normal, was electrocuted at Ellensburg at 10 o'clock, Sunday morning, while working at a hydro-electric plant in that city. Bruland was well known throughout the state of Washington, through his. wonderful ability as a football player. He played quarterback on the Normal eleven in 1923 and 1924. He was by .far the best general that ever donned a Viking football suit. During his attendance at the Normal, Bruland made many friends. He was,1 well .liked by those with whom he came in contact. .'The students ;.,: of the Normal school join with Brulahd's relative^ and.; hosts of friends in an acknowr; ledged bereavement and expression of .heartfelt': sympathy for his deatH.\ fudge Ben Lindsey Gives Interesting Tall to Students "In the school the teacher molds the life' of the child as does the potter his clay, according to his artistic ideals,' was the substance of Judge Ben Lindsey's address to the students in the auditorium on Wednesday morning. In commenting on his interview with Edison, the genius inventor, Linndsey quotes, "I would like to be a teacher, because to me there is nothing more inspiring to deal with than a machine of flesh and blood. To deal with life is the highest ideal a man can realize. In learning we must combine the faculties of the eye with the faculties of the ear. Terrific explanation of child psychology is necessary to understand child behavior. In a way, and just in a way, is there a comparison between the machine and the child. This comparison is not without some worth however. There is intelligence even in matter, in steel. The future of the world might be shaped by the way children are brought up. A boy of fourteen contributed more to the radio than any other person. The five to fifteen year old kids of today will be the new Columbuses." In the course of his lecture Judge Lindsey mentioned Marconi and Bur-bank. He gave their views of modern education and the child. Judge Lindsey gave several concrete examples to conclusively prove how the attitude of the state toward juvenile criminals has changed from one of violence and force , to one of tact, skill, knowledge based on bioligical, psychological and physiological facts, and patienct, which involves infinite time. The conclusions concerning child psychology and juvenile criminals held by the Denver Judge have been acquired through actual experience rather than through reading. FACULTY MEMBERS AT W.E. A. MEETING Miss Rich Speaks on "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," Thursday Afternoon. The Washington Education Association, which is meeting in Seattle yesterday and today, is attended by many of the Normal faculty. The training school is closed for these two days. The Normal teachers will have a special luncheon Friday noon. Miss Mary Rich spoke on Thursday afternoon on the topic "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," before the Department of Classroom Teach-errs of the National Education Association of the United States, at Broadway High. - Also on Thursday and Friday noons, there was a luncheon by the National Association of Women in Adminstration, which brought women with common problems together. ; The faculty members who attended were: ..

A bonfire, serpentine, banquet, big mixer, and thrilling football game are awaiting the participation of all the students, faculty and alumni. Serpentine. On Friday evening, November 5, the prologue of the annual event will take place in the form of a serpentine and bonfire. The serpentine will assemble in front of Edens Hall at 6:30 sharp. The course of the serpentine will be down High street to Holly, and thence into the business district, where a few yells will be given. The serpentine will return to a huge bonfire on the hill, where a mock trial, put on by the Thespians; speeches by President Fisher, Mr. Kibbe, Coaches Carver and Keeney, will pep up the B. S. N. S., so that the Viking spirit will be overflowing when the opening scene of the Homecoming takes place on Saturday morning. Registration and Luncheon at 10. Beginning at 10 a. m., the registration and reception of old grads will take place. Following this, will be the luncheon at Edens Hall and the Cafeteria. Plans have been so perfected that entertainment will be going on at both dining places at the same time. The clubs are furnishing the programs, so everyone will be assured of getting good entertainment, says Katherine Leach, chairman of program committee. Football Game. When the clock strikes two-thirty, what a crowd of Viking rooters will be in the grandstand on Waldo Field! Why ? Because that is when the biggest event of the day comes off; Nomral is playing Cheney in the annual home coming tussle.

The game was yours several times but fate played her role. Once you missed a drop-kick. Another time you were one yard from the line. A third time you had opportunity to score but again fate interposed. You outplayed the Yearlings in every department of the game. Ellensburg bieat the Frosh by a lucky run in the last thirty seconds of play. The battle tomorrow is not going to be a snap." Not by any means will it be a walkaway. Ellensburg has the best team it has had in years. If you go at the Ellensburg gang as you started out after the Frosh, tomorrow's game promises to be a real mix up. THIS IS A JOKE. One questionnaire of last week entreated the Messenger to include a joke column. The temptation was great, and we almost fell. There's a hot cut in the office with the inscription "JOKES," which has lain dormant these many Fridays. If such a course were pursued, all the reporters would have to do would be to copy a half dozen bits from the "Literary Digest" and an equal portion from "Life" Why not make your own choice? Such departments of a paper smack too much of high school stuff. If some of the students were to read the U . of W . Daily or some other standard college publication, they'd think that another Library Methods course was being doped out to them. "We wonder why that nice Dodge coupe comes every night to Mabel's house" or "Why is Fred spending such late hours at the library now?" afford mirth but to a very few students. The whole assembly would hardly laugh its head off at such outbursts. Student Opinion A Challenge Answered. I would leave it to another department of this school paper to knock off chips, as a rule, but. when a 'disgruntled V. A. V. flings out the challenge to any Philo to uphold the name of the Normal's choicest and most forward society, a finger of explanation must be raised. Heaven be thanked that every Philo "aspirant" did not lift his voice in song. If such were the case, 99 44-100% of HS would get out, and the ruin of the club would be a consummation devoutly wished. (Hamlet's helping us, V. A. V.) But, dear V. A. V., to business let's proceed. From a delightful little book, in the possession of which a few rejoice, I mark these following words, to-wit: 'The aim of the Philomathean Literary Society is to improve its members jn literary, musical, and social attainments. In the club meetings held every two weeks, the literary side of the. program is emphasized." Now, really, V. A. V., it'd be the height of the, ridiculous to announce, bi-weekly, by gplly, "The PhilomatH-ean Literary, Musical, Social, Debate and Parliamentary Drill Society will hold its regular meeting next Thurs- : ^ e y e n i n | / ' 'Why, it,would take ^;t^,njeinber8,, what; with pur below ;':«eajievei I.

Let's wait until the final letter is scanned, and the judges have made their grand decisions; then we'll see V. A. V., if there is any good which can come out of this Nazareth. - Philo (Preferred Stock) Three o'clock! The big bus waiting. Our team, dressed in their best, ready to leave for Seattle, where the first game away from home was to be played. Were we back 'of them? Did we send them off with cheers ? Cheers which they could carry with them all through the next day's fight? Did we show that we were with them and for them, win or.lose? We did not! We failed to do our part. That'big bus pulled out with its load of fighters, without a cheer. A mere handful of the faithful stood by to wave them off. Put yourselves . in their • places. Wouldn't you just feel like fighting your hardest for your school if you knew that every member of the student body and faculty cared enough about you and the game to come out "and give you a; send-off ? ^ There's not a person in this world .who doesn't; do better work if •' he knows its being appreciated. ; Are we going-'ioi let- such a thing happen again, fpiks? ; I By V A few days ago we read a notice in the library.

Fortunately there are small pieces of paper by the card index, and the magazine index.

' * * * * A class in history was once discussing on the subject of Art and the Aesthetic Sense. ..The topic on rythm "wfcs brought up... And many examples were mentioned. .."How about the baby's cry," asked a pupil. "Well, there's rhythm in it," retorted the teacher. This is perhaps sufficient to account for the prominence of divorces in couples without children. Human nature demands satisfaction of the aesthetic impulse. * # * * The other day the Men's Club met and decided to organize, and in fact they did begin to organize a fire squad for emergency purposes in the school. ..No understanding., more commendable than this could possibly be conceived of for the Normal men. Nor here comes a challenge: What would the Women's League do to balance this splendid idea? * * * * The traditional Homecoming event is looming up with bright hopes and rosy expectations. Figuratively, there is no stone left unturned to make this year's Homecoming the best ever recorded in the annals of the "Normal-By-The-Sea." The warmth of loyalty and sincerity of devotion to dear Alma Mater will be felt in the camus once more when the grads of this institution will set foot once again on the self-same corridors and campus paths they had daily trod ni the days that .were, not so very long ago. Familiar names, and faint images of familiar faces. The present student body will gladly welcome those who have made the history of this institution; and the grads will come with a sense of a renewed pledge of loyalty and service to their Alma Mater. * * * * What constitutes success? The men's class in social ethics digested this question the other day and bom-barede it with all sorts of answers. Common opinion among" the men harped on the familiar tune of "service" to humanity. Anyway, there's always a big whale of difference between opinion and practice. "Flowers my bloom on burning volcanoes.' * * * * It seems, however, that there are three major considerations in weighing the question of success. ..First, the attainment of an ambition, an ideal, a goai; second accomplishment of achievement along one's chosen career; third, the quality of service one renders to humanity in general as an outcome of one's training in a specialized line. To hear Judge Ben Lindsey speak last Wednesday morning was a rare privilege. His oratorical eloquence, occasioned sense of humor, and above all the importance and weight of his speech in relation to teaching and present-day condition of society, have undoubtedly left an indelible imprint upon all who heard him. • # • * Judge Lindsey's lecture has filled a wide gap and satisfied to some extent at ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 October 29 - Page 3 ---------- s ^ 1:;IS.;STROM2 BHHPniiHiniiinmmiiuiiniiami i l x k^ u Hitting the Liiie WITH SULLY Wkere i8 the spirit of this school? How caii a winning team be expected when the student body does not support them? Last Friday, the team left for Seattle and there was but four people to see them off. Where were the Yell Leaders and the rest of the students? The team needs your backing, so try .and be out next time. The Vikings, although held to a scoreless tie with the University Yearlings, vow vengeance on Ellens-burg, so a. sad afternoon is in store for Sandberg's pets. Coach "Sam" Carver has been "pointing" for this -game, and as this is the first hurdle to regain the Normal School Championship, the team will give it's all. Evennje who went to Seattle last week-end was treated to two wonderful football games.. First, the University Freshmen held the Normal to a tie, while the University of Washington-Washington State College game was a thriller from start to finish. The Cougars won 9 to 6, when "Butch" Meeker scored a touchdown on a perfectly executed reverse play in the last minutes of the game. The Viking squad lost one of its valuable reserves, when "Three Gun" Benson had his shoulder injured, thus putting him out for the season... Benson has been out every night, always fighting and taking many hard knocks, which it is up to the second stringer to give, without hope of reward. He will be missed by the squad. California Teams Are Eliminating Tie Grid Contests Southern California' interscholastic grid teams have devised a way to eliminate tie games. The teams are given a two-minute rest after the final whistle. Then the ball is put in play at midfield, the captains tossing a coin to see who has possession of the ball. Ten downs are played, each team alternating at carrying the ball on every play. The team which makes the most yardage or which advances the ball in its opponent's territory wins.' The success of the plan is being watched closely by football men interested in finding a solution for tie games. VIKINGS TO MEET ELLENSBURG MEN (Continued from Page One) Backfield Is Shifted. After many shifts, a backfield combination that is sure to start the game is still lacking. The most probable combination seems to be Odell, Stickney, Hawkings, and Seymour. Of these, Seymour is the only one playing in the position started in the St. Martin's contest. Ray Odell has been shifted to the quarter post. Estill, who handled the team last week, may start the battle and is a sure bet to get in the fray some stage of the game. Stickney, a regular from last year; has been practicing in one halfback position. / Hawkings Halfback Hawkings,. the greatest surprise of the last two games, is slated to start in the other halfback position. Coach Carver, is taking the follow-' ing men on the trip to Eiiensburg: E.;Hyd^ ^ Stiekneyy Hinds, Beignle, Iyjerson, Blizzard, Baxter,.; .Shelton, Drake, Edmundson, Brown, Odeil, Estill, Sfifcickii y, Clarke, Hawkings, Seymour, and Hansen.

Those successfully passing the beginner's test were Dor-othey Busick, Annie Nelson, Sarah Collins, Allegra Jones, Elsie Cummins, Borgheld Jensen, Margaret Ma-goon, Margaret McKay and Jean Woll. Those who have passed the Red Cross Swimmer's Test are: Phyllis Crabill, Eileen Galloway, Madeline Bosshard, and Carrie Hamilton. If enough girls are interested, a" recreation period will be held at the Y. WL C. A. every Friday from 4 to 5 oclock, beginning next week. The rfee will be the nominal one of ten cents. Names must be on the Athletic Bulletin board before Friday noon. Jean Woll can be seen for further particulars. Hockey, soccer and volley ball turnouts continue to run high, and the classes are fast developing the technique of the games. The teams will be chosen soon. A great amount of equipment is being added, including six new soccer balls. Both hockey and soccer goal posts have been put up, the field has been leveled and the grass cut. To relieve the increasing, call for adhesive tape, it being feared that the manufacturers would be unable to supply the demand, hockey shin guards have been ordered and will probably be here for the next practice. A number of girls went horseback riding last Saturday morning instead of Friday afternoon. This week the horses will be brought to the school on Friday. Already a number have signed up, but there are enough horses for all who desire to go. If enough girls are interested in horseback riding for Saturday mornings arrangements will be made for this as well as for Friday afternoons. Q.A.G.-U.S.G.

Both Teams Miss in Field Goal Attempts. VIKING LINE STRONGER Odell, Seymour, Carry Brunt of Normal Attack. Thorspn and Stickney in Fine Form. Although forcing the play practically the whole game, the Vikings were Hnable to score against the University Freshmen last Saturday and the two teams battled to a scoreless tie. The Frosh defense built around the towering "Pat" Jessup, former Whatcom High star tightened in the pinches and averted an oft threatened Viking score. The Normal line, heretofore of uncertain strength successfully withstood all Frosh attacks and apparently had little trouble in opening holes judging by the yardage the backs were able to make. A weakness was shown in returning the punts, the Frosh ends getting down on Odell on nearly every kick. The Viking backs showed a greater ground gaining ability than did the Frosh. Odell and Seymour being the heaviest ground gainers. "Russ" Seymour's 190 pounds carrying two and three Frosh tacklers with him. Several times the big fellow ripped through for 20 yard gallops. Ray Odell proved the best open field runned of the day, getting away for long gainB several times. Lyman Stickney netted good yardage on off end runs. Vikings Threaten Early The Vikings made the initial kick-off and soon gained possession of the ball in Frosh territory. They advanced within the yearlings 15 yard line but could not send the ball over. A place kick was attempted later but failed. The Vikings had forced the play through the first quarter and continued on the offense the rest of the half. They started a hard drive toward the Frosh goal and came within 11 yards, the final line where a grounded pass stopped the attempt. The Frosh were on the defense until the last quarter when the Vikings weakened. A drop kick missed the bar just a few feet and just before the game ended the Frosh completed a 25 yard pass into Viking territory Aside from the last_iew minutes of the game the Vikings held the advantage and had two exellent chances to score. The game was called at 12 noon as a preliminary to the Univeri sity-State College game in the afternoon. The Vikings lined up „with Drake and Thorson ends, Wanamaker and Shelton tackles, Hinds and Baxter guards, Stickney center, Odell, Stickney, Seymour, and Estill in the back-field. Substitutions were Hawkings for Estill, Edmundson for Drake, Bieghle for Hinds, Drake for Edmundson, Christman for Wanamaker, Stickney for Hyde. S. K. SCHELDRUP, D. C, Ph.

A pleasant program arranged by Mary Margaret Doyle consisted of: Piano Solo Vera Ginnette Vocal Solo Phyllis Johnson Reading Willena Barnhart Dance, "The Three Graces" Chopin Verta Templeton Vesta Larsen Irma Littler Those in the receiving line were: Miss Jones, Miss Skalley, and Es-telle Martinsen. New Normal Song. Not Enough Parties and Too Many Gals. A reunion of, the Normal Alumni and former students was held at Meeve's Cafeteria, Thursday noon. Miss Olive Edens, president of the Alumni Association, presided at the meeting. President Fisher addressed the gathering. Miss George, formerly head of the training school, and now connected with.. Seattle lt; public schools, was present. Theodore Cederberg, Margaret Burke, and Desmond Fulp'have been named on the alumni committee to assist the faculty committee to arrange for the Homecoming banquet to be held Saturday evening at Edens Hall. Many of the members of the faculty who attended the annual teachers 'meeting were present. Mary Kennard spent the week-end with her friend, Robbie Gaddis, of Anacortes. Eva Botts and Ruth Anderson were at their homes in Ferndale over the week-end. Allie Rucker spent the week-end at her home in Bay View. Saturday morning, Hulda Stroebel entertained her parents at her home in Bellingham. Loma Sumner and Madeline Goodman spent the week-end at their home in Everett. Mrs. McCallum was hostess at a Hallowe'en party, Friday night in honor of the girls living at her home. „ The main features- of the evening were games and fortune telling. Saturday night the inmates of Powell hall enjoyed as the main features of their party, two mock weddings. Bear claws and soda pop were served as refreshments. Everyone was exposed to a hilarious time. Mamie Clark spent Saturday at Livingston Beach with Mr. and Mrs. Sciberd of Mt. Vernon. Janet McKenzie spent her last week-end in Seattle and Sumner. WOMEN'S LEAGUE HAVE INTERESTING ASSEMBLY FRIDAY An interesting feature of the Women's League assembly last Friday was the manner in which the members of the league council showed to its audience the work of various committee's. Two of the most original stunts were presented by the fellowship and social committees, of which Irene Shagel and Estelle Martinsen are chairmen. The fellowship committee depicted a railway station with a lonely little Freshman arriving, there being met by members of that committee and being brought to the Normal school. The social committee put on a small tea, bringing to the girls the idea of their work in putting on teas, and all social functions that the league sponsors. Ignorance Is Bliss.

A. girls were in charge of the sale of tickets for "Dear Brutus" on the landing Wednesday and Thursday. This is just one of a number of ways in which the girls are of service. The A. A. U. W. have asked the girls to usher for the play and ovver fifteen girls have volunteered their services. The girls are always eager to help when called upon. It was largely W A. A. girls who responded to President Fisher's call to help in the recent Red Cross Drive. Over twenty were ready at 8 o'clock to begin work, and the girls sold all during the day. The W. A. A. girls have'charge of ushering in the regular assemblies and are the ones who deliver the programs. The club is made up of girls who are dependable and eager to help their school. o — BRIDGE PARTY GIVEN SATURDAY AFTERNOON 3E S Can you imagine: - Barbara Allen leading a choir Thelma Butler missing Rec hour. * » * * Olive Hardan on the turnup squad. » » » « Maggie McCay as a house mother. • • • * * # • # Helen Crawford 'as a prima dona. * » » *.

Our own Bernard Sullivan was interviewing her as he thought regal articles would go over bigger in "tapping the line with Sully" than Y. W. C. A. notices. "You know, Sully," coughed Her Majesty, as Sully firmly but politely refused the cigaret of a St. Louis firm which she had pressed on him, "It's a toss-up whether to lunch at the Chuckanut Manor or at the Normal Cafeteria, while passing through your rich country, abounding in resources, its delightful climate." A child could tell you that the Chamber of Commerce had peddled a lot of bulletins even into Rumania. Deftly the queen removed a diamond studded tiara, and scratched her head.' With that trained and alert mind that Sully continually carries with him, he .could tell that she was thinking. Man of action that he is, Sully did nothing. "My daughter, Ileana—or something like that, is still, well, very young—^and unmarried." Here she gave a knowing wink at iSully. "I've decided when II—II..." "Ileana," whispered Sully. "Thank you, my young friend. When she is an old lady like me," and the queen waved Sully aside as he was- about to protest, "I have decided that Ileana shall go'to. Belling-: Jham and help dedicate the breaking of the ground f»r your library." Sully, as you might imagine, had been weeping softly, but was braced' up by this cheerful optimism of this Rotarian, Kiwanian, Board :,?% Control like queen. , "Just tell your people that I love; 'them all—yes even Sam Carver and ITtAickmich." - •':::---A"-:"^ '••%--:- TO MEET ELLEI TOMORROW IN CRUCIAL GAME OF YEAR Coach Carver's Men Go Through Strenuous Training Preparing for Contest in Eastern Washington Town, Clash Doped as One of the Season's Hardest, with Sandberg's Men Slight Favorites. Coach Sam Carver's Viking grid-ders have been going through some stiff workouts this week, in preparation for what will probably be the most crucial encounter of the season. The Bellingham-Ellensburg game, scheduled to be played in the eastern city's arena at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, will without a doubt put both teams to their utmost. Ellensburg, on its record this year, appears strong. The Tri-Normal title is at stake in tomorrow's battle, consequently a win for the Bellingham team will mean much. Coach Boy Sandberg's Eastern Washington team holds victories over two strong squads in the junior conference, namely, the U. of I. Frosh and the U. of W. Frosh. For the first time in many years, Ellensburg is conceded a good chance of defeating both of its Normal rivals—Bellingham and Cheney. Ellensburg Powerful. Ellensburg holds a 6-0 verdict over the U. of W. Frosh, while Normal played a 0-0 tie with them. All indications point to a close and exciting contest. Coaches Carver and Keeney have been drilling the squad all week in preparation for this important game. Many combinations have been worked on. In the last two turnouts only one-half the men that started the initial game of the season have been practicing on the first squad. Both the line and backfield have seen radical changes in their personnel. At center, Don Stickney and Eddie Hyde are having a stirring battle for the position. On Wednesday Blizzard and Baxter were at the guard posts, neither of whom saw service in the opening contest. Blizzard, after a slow start, has been improving rapidly. Shelton and Chris-man seem to have the. tackle positions well in hand. Thorsen and Drake are doped to start at the end positions tomorrow. With Edmundson and Brown in reserve, four strong wing men will be on hand. (Continued on Page Three) Former Normal Football Star Is Accidently Killed RICHARD BRULAND, Former Normal Football Star Richard Bruland, formerly a student at the Bellingham Normal, was electrocuted at Ellensburg at 10 o'clock, Sunday morning, while working at a hydro-electric plant in that city. Bruland was well known throughout the state of Washington, through his. wonderful ability as a football player. He played quarterback on the Normal eleven in 1923 and 1924. He was by .far the best general that ever donned a Viking football suit. During his attendance at the Normal, Bruland made many friends. He was,1 well .liked by those with whom he came in contact. .'The students ;.,: of the Normal school join with Brulahd's relative^ and.; hosts of friends in an acknowr; ledged bereavement and expression of .heartfelt': sympathy for his deatH.\ fudge Ben Lindsey Gives Interesting Tall to Students "In the school the teacher molds the life' of the child as does the potter his clay, according to his artistic ideals,' was the substance of Judge Ben Lindsey's address to the students in the auditorium on Wednesday morning. In commenting on his interview with Edison, the genius inventor, Linndsey quotes, "I would like to be a teacher, because to me there is nothing more inspiring to deal with than a machine of flesh and blood. To deal with life is the highest ideal a man can realize. In learning we must combine the faculties of the eye with the faculties of the ear. Terrific explanation of child psychology is necessary to understand child behavior. In a way, and just in a way, is there a comparison between the machine and the child. This comparison is not without some worth however. There is intelligence even in matter, in steel. The future of the world might be shaped by the way children are brought up. A boy of fourteen contributed more to the radio than any other person. The five to fifteen year old kids of today will be the new Columbuses." In the course of his lecture Judge Lindsey mentioned Marconi and Bur-bank. He gave their views of modern education and the child. Judge Lindsey gave several concrete examples to conclusively prove how the attitude of the state toward juvenile criminals has changed from one of violence and force , to one of tact, skill, knowledge based on bioligical, psychological and physiological facts, and patienct, which involves infinite time. The conclusions concerning child psychology and juvenile criminals held by the Denver Judge have been acquired through actual experience rather than through reading. FACULTY MEMBERS AT W.E. A. MEETING Miss Rich Speaks on "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," Thursday Afternoon. The Washington Education Association, which is meeting in Seattle yesterday and today, is attended by many of the Normal faculty. The training school is closed for these two days. The Normal teachers will have a special luncheon Friday noon. Miss Mary Rich spoke on Thursday afternoon on the topic "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," before the Department of Classroom Teach-errs of the National Education Association of the United States, at Broadway High. - Also on Thursday and Friday noons, there was a luncheon by the National Association of Women in Adminstration, which brought women with common problems together. ; The faculty members who attended were: .. Misses Fannie Ragland, Mary Rich, Nora Cummins, Bertha Crawford, Winnie Spieseke,: Eleanor Osborn, Anna Beiswenger, Marjorie Dawson, Augusta Pragst, Orpha Mc- Pherson, Blanche Wold, Pearl Mer-riman, Anna Peterson, Priscilla Kinsman, M.

CLASH TO F E M E Numerous Returning Grads to Renew Past Friendships at the ' Mixer, Saturday Evening. S E R P E N T I N E BONFIRE Luncheon Will Be Served at Edens Hall and Cafeteria, Following Registration. Plans are 'rapidly assuming definite form for the third annual Homecoming on Saturday, Nov. 6. A bonfire, serpentine, banquet, big mixer, and thrilling football game are awaiting the participation of all the students, faculty and alumni. Serpentine. On Friday evening, November 5, the prologue of the annual event will take place in the form of a serpentine and bonfire. The serpentine will assemble in front of Edens Hall at 6:30 sharp. The course of the serpentine will be down High street to Holly, and thence into the business district, where a few yells will be given. The serpentine will return to a huge bonfire on the hill, where a mock trial, put on by the Thespians; speeches by President Fisher, Mr. Kibbe, Coaches Carver and Keeney, will pep up the B. S. N. S., so that the Viking spirit will be overflowing when the opening scene of the Homecoming takes place on Saturday morning. Registration and Luncheon at 10. Beginning at 10 a. m., the registration and reception of old grads will take place. Following this, will be the luncheon at Edens Hall and the Cafeteria. Plans have been so perfected that entertainment will be going on at both dining places at the same time. The clubs are furnishing the programs, so everyone will be assured of getting good entertainment, says Katherine Leach, chairman of program committee. Football Game. When the clock strikes two-thirty, what a crowd of Viking rooters will be in the grandstand on Waldo Field! Why ? Because that is when the biggest event of the day comes off; Nomral is playing Cheney in the annual home coming tussle.

You have been reading articles in the Messenger regarding the contest. Hand in that essay, short story, poem, drama or whatever form of literature it may be. You have as good a chance to win as die next fellow. Loosen up. Pilot some of that excess energy into your aesthetic channels and produce the prize winner. Ruth Sturman is acting assistant editor of the Messenger for this issue. BEAT ELLENSBURG!! Last Saturday you held the battering Freshmen to a scoreless tie. The game was yours several times but fate played her role. Once you missed a drop-kick. Another time you were one yard from the line. A third time you had opportunity to score but again fate interposed. You outplayed the Yearlings in every department of the game. Ellensburg bieat the Frosh by a lucky run in the last thirty seconds of play. The battle tomorrow is not going to be a snap." Not by any means will it be a walkaway. Ellensburg has the best team it has had in years. If you go at the Ellensburg gang as you started out after the Frosh, tomorrow's game promises to be a real mix up. THIS IS A JOKE. One questionnaire of last week entreated the Messenger to include a joke column. The temptation was great, and we almost fell. There's a hot cut in the office with the inscription "JOKES," which has lain dormant these many Fridays. If such a course were pursued, all the reporters would have to do would be to copy a half dozen bits from the "Literary Digest" and an equal portion from "Life" Why not make your own choice? Such departments of a paper smack too much of high school stuff. If some of the students were to read the U . of W . Daily or some other standard college publication, they'd think that another Library Methods course was being doped out to them. "We wonder why that nice Dodge coupe comes every night to Mabel's house" or "Why is Fred spending such late hours at the library now?" afford mirth but to a very few students. The whole assembly would hardly laugh its head off at such outbursts. Student Opinion A Challenge Answered. I would leave it to another department of this school paper to knock off chips, as a rule, but. when a 'disgruntled V. A. V. flings out the challenge to any Philo to uphold the name of the Normal's choicest and most forward society, a finger of explanation must be raised. Heaven be thanked that every Philo "aspirant" did not lift his voice in song. If such were the case, 99 44-100% of HS would get out, and the ruin of the club would be a consummation devoutly wished. (Hamlet's helping us, V. A. V.) But, dear V. A. V., to business let's proceed. From a delightful little book, in the possession of which a few rejoice, I mark these following words, to-wit: 'The aim of the Philomathean Literary Society is to improve its members jn literary, musical, and social attainments. In the club meetings held every two weeks, the literary side of the. program is emphasized." Now, really, V. A. V., it'd be the height of the, ridiculous to announce, bi-weekly, by gplly, "The PhilomatH-ean Literary, Musical, Social, Debate and Parliamentary Drill Society will hold its regular meeting next Thurs- : ^ e y e n i n | / ' 'Why, it,would take ^;t^,njeinber8,, what; with pur below ;':«eajievei I.

Let's wait until the final letter is scanned, and the judges have made their grand decisions; then we'll see V. A. V., if there is any good which can come out of this Nazareth. - Philo (Preferred Stock) Three o'clock! The big bus waiting. Our team, dressed in their best, ready to leave for Seattle, where the first game away from home was to be played. Were we back 'of them? Did we send them off with cheers ? Cheers which they could carry with them all through the next day's fight? Did we show that we were with them and for them, win or.lose? We did not! We failed to do our part. That'big bus pulled out with its load of fighters, without a cheer. A mere handful of the faithful stood by to wave them off. Put yourselves . in their • places. Wouldn't you just feel like fighting your hardest for your school if you knew that every member of the student body and faculty cared enough about you and the game to come out "and give you a; send-off ? ^ There's not a person in this world .who doesn't; do better work if •' he knows its being appreciated. ; Are we going-'ioi let- such a thing happen again, fpiks? ; I By V A few days ago we read a notice in the library. In substance it prohibited conversation, or visiting durT ing the~ev.enings in the library. Logical en0ugh| ^ u t there is;' another side: to it. .-By no-means could it; stop nor prevent two hearts from exchanging sentiments. Fortunately there are small pieces of paper by the card index, and the magazine index. Two hearts can understand each other thereby upon snatching one of these handy things and scribble a line'or two. Necessity leads to discovery. ' * * * * A class in history was once discussing on the subject of Art and the Aesthetic Sense. ..The topic on rythm "wfcs brought up... And many examples were mentioned. .."How about the baby's cry," asked a pupil. "Well, there's rhythm in it," retorted the teacher. This is perhaps sufficient to account for the prominence of divorces in couples without children. Human nature demands satisfaction of the aesthetic impulse. * # * * The other day the Men's Club met and decided to organize, and in fact they did begin to organize a fire squad for emergency purposes in the school. ..No understanding., more commendable than this could possibly be conceived of for the Normal men. Nor here comes a challenge: What would the Women's League do to balance this splendid idea? * * * * The traditional Homecoming event is looming up with bright hopes and rosy expectations. Figuratively, there is no stone left unturned to make this year's Homecoming the best ever recorded in the annals of the "Normal-By-The-Sea." The warmth of loyalty and sincerity of devotion to dear Alma Mater will be felt in the camus once more when the grads of this institution will set foot once again on the self-same corridors and campus paths they had daily trod ni the days that .were, not so very long ago. Familiar names, and faint images of familiar faces. The present student body will gladly welcome those who have made the history of this institution; and the grads will come with a sense of a renewed pledge of loyalty and service to their Alma Mater. * * * * What constitutes success? The men's class in social ethics digested this question the other day and bom-barede it with all sorts of answers. Common opinion among" the men harped on the familiar tune of "service" to humanity. Anyway, there's always a big whale of difference between opinion and practice. "Flowers my bloom on burning volcanoes.' * * * * It seems, however, that there are three major considerations in weighing the question of success. ..First, the attainment of an ambition, an ideal, a goai; second accomplishment of achievement along one's chosen career; third, the quality of service one renders to humanity in general as an outcome of one's training in a specialized line. To hear Judge Ben Lindsey speak last Wednesday morning was a rare privilege. His oratorical eloquence, occasioned sense of humor, and above all the importance and weight of his speech in relation to teaching and present-day condition of society, have undoubtedly left an indelible imprint upon all who heard him. • # • * Judge Lindsey's lecture has filled a wide gap and satisfied to some extent at ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 October 29 - Page 3 ---------- s ^ 1:;IS.;STROM2 BHHPniiHiniiinmmiiuiiniiami i l x k^ u Hitting the Liiie WITH SULLY Wkere i8 the spirit of this school? How caii a winning team be expected when the student body does not support them? Last Friday, the team left for Seattle and there was but four people to see them off. Where were the Yell Leaders and the rest of the students? The team needs your backing, so try .and be out next time. The Vikings, although held to a scoreless tie with the University Yearlings, vow vengeance on Ellens-burg, so a. sad afternoon is in store for Sandberg's pets. Coach "Sam" Carver has been "pointing" for this -game, and as this is the first hurdle to regain the Normal School Championship, the team will give it's all. Evennje who went to Seattle last week-end was treated to two wonderful football games.. First, the University Freshmen held the Normal to a tie, while the University of Washington-Washington State College game was a thriller from start to finish. The Cougars won 9 to 6, when "Butch" Meeker scored a touchdown on a perfectly executed reverse play in the last minutes of the game. The Viking squad lost one of its valuable reserves, when "Three Gun" Benson had his shoulder injured, thus putting him out for the season... Benson has been out every night, always fighting and taking many hard knocks, which it is up to the second stringer to give, without hope of reward. He will be missed by the squad. California Teams Are Eliminating Tie Grid Contests Southern California' interscholastic grid teams have devised a way to eliminate tie games. The teams are given a two-minute rest after the final whistle. Then the ball is put in play at midfield, the captains tossing a coin to see who has possession of the ball. Ten downs are played, each team alternating at carrying the ball on every play. The team which makes the most yardage or which advances the ball in its opponent's territory wins.' The success of the plan is being watched closely by football men interested in finding a solution for tie games. VIKINGS TO MEET ELLENSBURG MEN (Continued from Page One) Backfield Is Shifted. After many shifts, a backfield combination that is sure to start the game is still lacking. The most probable combination seems to be Odell, Stickney, Hawkings, and Seymour. Of these, Seymour is the only one playing in the position started in the St. Martin's contest. Ray Odell has been shifted to the quarter post. Estill, who handled the team last week, may start the battle and is a sure bet to get in the fray some stage of the game. Stickney, a regular from last year; has been practicing in one halfback position. / Hawkings Halfback Hawkings,. the greatest surprise of the last two games, is slated to start in the other halfback position. Coach Carver, is taking the follow-' ing men on the trip to Eiiensburg: E.;Hyd^ ^ Stiekneyy Hinds, Beignle, Iyjerson, Blizzard, Baxter,.; .Shelton, Drake, Edmundson, Brown, Odeil, Estill, Sfifcickii y, Clarke, Hawkings, Seymour, and Hansen. WM$M$mBM^ M Women's Sports Continue Popular Among Students Swimming tests have recently been given to both beginner's and advanced classes. Those successfully passing the beginner's test were Dor-othey Busick, Annie Nelson, Sarah Collins, Allegra Jones, Elsie Cummins, Borgheld Jensen, Margaret Ma-goon, Margaret McKay and Jean Woll. Those who have passed the Red Cross Swimmer's Test are: Phyllis Crabill, Eileen Galloway, Madeline Bosshard, and Carrie Hamilton. If enough girls are interested, a" recreation period will be held at the Y. WL C. A. every Friday from 4 to 5 oclock, beginning next week. The rfee will be the nominal one of ten cents. Names must be on the Athletic Bulletin board before Friday noon. Jean Woll can be seen for further particulars. Hockey, soccer and volley ball turnouts continue to run high, and the classes are fast developing the technique of the games. The teams will be chosen soon. A great amount of equipment is being added, including six new soccer balls. Both hockey and soccer goal posts have been put up, the field has been leveled and the grass cut. To relieve the increasing, call for adhesive tape, it being feared that the manufacturers would be unable to supply the demand, hockey shin guards have been ordered and will probably be here for the next practice. A number of girls went horseback riding last Saturday morning instead of Friday afternoon. This week the horses will be brought to the school on Friday. Already a number have signed up, but there are enough horses for all who desire to go. If enough girls are interested in horseback riding for Saturday mornings arrangements will be made for this as well as for Friday afternoons. Q.A.G.-U.S.G.

Both Teams Miss in Field Goal Attempts. VIKING LINE STRONGER Odell, Seymour, Carry Brunt of Normal Attack. Thorspn and Stickney in Fine Form. Although forcing the play practically the whole game, the Vikings were Hnable to score against the University Freshmen last Saturday and the two teams battled to a scoreless tie. The Frosh defense built around the towering "Pat" Jessup, former Whatcom High star tightened in the pinches and averted an oft threatened Viking score. The Normal line, heretofore of uncertain strength successfully withstood all Frosh attacks and apparently had little trouble in opening holes judging by the yardage the backs were able to make. A weakness was shown in returning the punts, the Frosh ends getting down on Odell on nearly every kick. The Viking backs showed a greater ground gaining ability than did the Frosh. Odell and Seymour being the heaviest ground gainers. "Russ" Seymour's 190 pounds carrying two and three Frosh tacklers with him. Several times the big fellow ripped through for 20 yard gallops. Ray Odell proved the best open field runned of the day, getting away for long gainB several times. Lyman Stickney netted good yardage on off end runs. Vikings Threaten Early The Vikings made the initial kick-off and soon gained possession of the ball in Frosh territory. They advanced within the yearlings 15 yard line but could not send the ball over. A place kick was attempted later but failed. The Vikings had forced the play through the first quarter and continued on the offense the rest of the half. They started a hard drive toward the Frosh goal and came within 11 yards, the final line where a grounded pass stopped the attempt. The Frosh were on the defense until the last quarter when the Vikings weakened.

Tuesday, May 17, 1983 * BULLETIN * Election validated TheAssociated Students Board of Directors voted last night to validate the run-off election betweenpresidential hopefuls Dana Grand and Ty Hanson. The decision was the final step in assuring Grantwould be next year's AS president. After hearing various complaints by students the board voted 5 to3 in favor of upholding Thursday's election. The AS board vote to offer an ^apology , for the inconvenience caused by a faulty polling booth. Complaints filed to election board By ELAYNE ANDERSON At least four complaints were filed with the election board after Thursday's Associated Students Board ofDirectors presidential run-off election, which put Dana Grant over the top with five more votes than hisopponent, Ty Hanson. The election board was scheduled to meet yesterday to review the complaints. Election Board Chairwoman Marian Young said probably no action would be taken on the complaintsuntil today or tomorrow. Copies of the complaints were not available to the Front. However, three ofthe complaints were filed by Leonard Brevik, AS vice president for external affairs. In one complaint,Brevik said he cnargea mat trie Ked Square polling booth didn't open until about 9:25 a.m. Accordingto election codes booths are to be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Brevik said he was in Red Squareattending an (E)Quality booth from 9 to 10 the morning of the election. He said several studentsapproached his booth to vote and he had to direct them to another polling areai Another complaint filedby Brevik states that the Red Square voting booth ran out of ballots at 11 a.m. when he went to vote. He said the booth again ran out of ballots at 1 p.m. Young said the Red Square booth opened about 10minutes late. She said the people attending the booth had classes, and this sometimes made itdifficult to check all the booths. Brevik's third complaint was that the election results released Thursdaynight did not match the results posted the following morning. Thursday night the results 446 for Grantand 440 for Hanson, with three absentee ballots outstanding. Friday morning the results were postedas 446 for Grant and 441 for Hanson, including the absentee ballots. Young said the two-votediscrepancy was because Thursday night the votes were hand counted and the next morning theywere computer tallied. "What can you expect when you're hand counting over 800 votes," Young said.The votes were hand counted three times. Don Hall, a senior human services student, said he filed acomplaint because he was not made aware of the availability of absentee ballots. Hall is a night studentand works a 40-hour week. He said he didn't think this violated election codes, but wanted to informthe election board of the problems night students have voting. "There was nothing in the Voter'sPamphlet or the Western Front. I feel there was a lot of students in human services left out. Asstudents, it's our right to vote. "I'm just asking them to take into consideration that there are somestudents who didn't have the opportunity to vote in both elections." Young said "mistakes were made"during the elections, but none of them were made maliciously. She said the election is a learningexperience like all AS activities. A lot of the complaints are because the election was so close, Youngsaid.

The 73-year-old Bright, nearly totally blind, is guided by Western sophomore David LaRocque. Bright set severalworld records since graduating from Bellingham Normal School, Western's predecessor, in 1929. Morethan 200 runners completed the sixth-annual race, sponsored by the Alumni Office. History prof Kohl dies Paul A. Kohl, of the history department, died yesterday at the age of 62. He was director of the archival and records management program. He collapsed outside the Lecture Hall building atapproximately 10:20 a.m., said Chuck Page of campus police. Two officers for Western's departmentof public safety and a female student worked on Kohl until paramedics from the Bellingham firedepartment arrived. According to eye witnesses, Kohl hit his head on the door frame as he fell whengoing through the rear entrance. Margaret Cagle interrupted the Biology 101 class in Lecture Hall 4 toask if anyone knew cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques. The man was not bre-thing and hadno pulse, she said.

Mayer spoke to a Huxley reunion group last Thursday. Huxley deanlooks to future By KAREN McCRACKIN Thursday, Dean Richard Mayer of Huxley College spoke to 25alumni, students and faculty as part of Huxley's first reunion. He described Huxley's future, its "dreamsand visions." He said that although it's a strange time to look aheadâ€”in the midst of serious budgetcutbacks and enrollment declineâ€” dreams and inspirations still are needed. He said next fall Huxley expects to begin its master's program in environmental science. He hopes to follow this with anothermaster's program in human ecology. He said the shape of work at Huxley will expand upper division and graduate programs. In the distant future possibly is a cooperative doctorate program betweenHuxley and the University of Washington. "Huxley College will become a graduate degree traininginstitution with significantly large numbers of students pursuing master's degrees," he said. Mayersaid he also envisions a new career field and major, environmental management. Huxley would work with the business department to train students to work with business and industry, students who wouldbe. â€¢environmentally sensitive and aware. Huxley currently is working on an off-campus program inSeattle where people will be able to obtain a B.A. or B.S. through Huxley. Huxley is investigating thepossibility of offering a degree through the social assessment and policy concentration now, he said.Finally, he said he sees Huxley expansively involved in environmental education. He envisions Huxleyworking with state agencies so that teaching of environmental education is integrated in the schooldistrict's curriculum. Mayer said because environmental education is interdisciplinary, it can serve asa take-off point for students to study in numerous other fields. Huxley's goal is to provide the best liberal arts education possible and to teach environmental awareness, he said. Huxley must be concernedwith teaching competence and must have a deep awareness of the world and its problems. "We must be concerned not only with knowledge, but understanding. Not only understanding, but awareness and commitment," he said. In addition, Huxley needs to be "engaged extensively in research" in thefuture, both in social sciences and physical sciences. And, it must discover how to serve this region."Our future depends on convincing the people of Bellingham, Whatcom County, NorthwestWashington and the Pacific Northwest that Huxley College and Western Washington University isimportant because we can serve," he said. "We can help solve problems. We can provideinformation. We can train talented young people. We have to become known more and more, betterand better, for those things. We've made a good start, but it's only a start." He said this all describesmuch of Huxley today, but he wants "more of it, on a grander scale, better supported, betterrecognized. And I want, of course, stability. I want us to reach a point where budgets aren't beingcut every week and enrollment isn't falling and we're concerned with how many faculty at Western aregoing to be cut." The building of competence and unquestioned quality will guarantee success and thefuture of Huxley College, he said. Bradley fights housing policy By PAT BULMER Western's practice of prohibiting unmarried men and women from sharing university apartments is being challenged by a senior business administration/computer science major. Currently, Western has no written policy on whethermen and women may share apartments, but George Bradley said his interest is in changing the practice, not necessarily having a new practice put into writing. Tomorrow, for the third week in a row, Bradley willpresent his case to the Committee on Housing and Dining. No matter what it decides, the committeeplans to recommend a policy to be considered by the University Services Council. Bradley firstconfronted the committee May 4. He cited several laws that ban discrimination based on marital status,saying Western's current practice was illegal. However, Director of University Residences Keith Guyshowed Bradley a law that exempts universities from laws Bradley cited. Universities are allowed to "limit the use of dormitories, residence halls or other student housing to persons of one sex or to makedistinctions on the basis of marital or family status." Despite the legality of Western's apartmentpractices, committee members realized a written policy was needed. But it wasn't clear what type ofpolicy they should write. Scott Small, a student present with Bradley that day, pointed out that men andwomen may live together for "convenience" reasons, although he said it's not the university's business toknow why people live together. He wondered why married couples could live in apartments whileunmarried couples couldn't. "It comes down to either you're going to discriminate or you're not," he said.Guy said he was concerned abut parent and community reaction to a permissive policy and noted hispersonal opposition to changing the current practice. Bradley explained that men and women alreadylive together when one of them doesn't pay rent. Thus, the need for a stricter visitation policy also wasbrought up by some committee members, although they later rejected one that would prohibit guests from staying more than three days. After the Housing and Dining Committee's meeting of May 4 and beforeits meeting of last Wednesday, Bradley elaborated on his desire for a more permissive practice. He saidhe and a potential roommate need two more roommates to live in a Birnam Wood apartment next year.He wondered why the. other two couldn't be women. Bradley said he is arguing a case of "individualrights." "People in apartments are old enough to take care of themselves," he said, advising that ifWestern is concerned about parent and community reaction it could adopt a rule used at other schoolsthat prohibits freshmen from living in apartments. "Universities are supposed to be strongholds of freethought," Bradley said, but "they're making it inconvenient for people who don't follow their Victorianethics." He noted that unmarried men and women live together off campus and that banning such apractice on campus merely will force more students to seek off-campus housing. Wednesday, thecommittee discussed the issue again. Kay Rich, associate director for residence life, reported commonpractice doesn't allow unmarried men and women to share university apartments. She said, however,Guy's concern about public relations wasn't the main reason other state universities ban unmarriedcohabitation. Some schools thought it was against the law for unmarried people to live together inuniversity housing, although it isn't, Rich said. Other schools were concerned that couples might breakup during the course of the year. She said the only Washington school that permits unmarried couples in its apartments, The Evergreen State College, requires couples sign a year-long lease. The issue ofhomosexuality and heterosexuality also was mentioned. Rich said that by allowing only people of onesex to share an apartment, Western can be seen as encouraging homosexual, but not heterosexualrelationships. Mary Conlin, Inter-hall Council president, and Kari Wolfe, IHC representative to theAssociated Students Board of Directors, reported what they perceived student reaction to be. Conlin said a lot of students saw no problem with cohabitation in apartments. Wolfe said students thought thepractice would allow Western's apartments to better compete with off-campus housing in attractingstudents. Students realize a public relations problem would exist, Wolfe said. Clay Crofton, anotherstudent on the committee, said the committee should acknowledge the conservative viewpoint oncampus. He proposed the three-day visitation policy. Tomorrow, Guy and Bradley are expected topresent their proposals for an apartment policy. The debate will then continue.

A recent study shows thatliberal arts graduates perform well in their occupationsâ€”if they can get hired. According to an articlein USA Today, a recent American Telephone and Telegraph study concluded that liberal artsgraduates are promoted faster and have more leadership roles than technical graduates, which adds to the paradox. AT T researchers studied 766 managers in 10 firms ranging from 1,500 to 150,000employees. Bob Thirsk of the Career Planning and Placement Center said a liberal arts education isflexible and graduates have the ability to adapt. Liberal arts majors have more going for themselves than they realize, he said. If they get more marketable backgrounds, such as a few courses in business,accounting or computer science, they can accelerate their chances. A degree isn't marketable,graduates themselves are, Thirsk said. John Smith of J.R. Smith Employment Consultants, in theHerald Building, said, "I'm bullish on a liberal arts background." Skills are changing all the time, hesaid. Liberal arts majors seem to be able to use academic skills to adapt and master differenttechnologies. The liberal arts major has the edge, he said. A technical major's' horizons are somewhatlimited. Samara Underwood, of the Acme Employment Agency, 4200 Meridian Guide, however, said the type of education employers desire depends on the job. For executive positions, a business degreeusually helps because experience and training are important. Fairhaven Dean Dan Lamer said a liberalarts major gives students a "broader idea of the arena of knowledge of human action." Some aspectsof the AT T survey have been known for a long time, he said. At the Harvard business school, forinstance, students are broadly trained. If students "can only do one thing, they will only do onething," he said. Fairhaven students are flexible and can adapt to changes in the job market. Critical,evaluative and creative thinking all explicity are required at Fairhaven, which is shaped specifically tocultivate them, Lamer said. Only about 700 students have graduated from Fairhaven since its inceptionin 1972, but it's "quite a list," he said. Fairhaven graduates have careers in government, business andindustry, education, management and administration, communications, research and writing, fine and performing arts, community service, counseling and health, dentistry, medicine, law and the ministry.Fairhaven graduates receive a liberal arts education with exactly those skills that the AT T survey foundwere required for success in the job market, Lamer said. Speakers explore sexual harassment NEWSNOTES By SHELLEY McKEDY Sexual harassment of students increasingly is a visible problem atWestern. Of female students, 10 to 20 percent are subjected to it, according to Donna Langston,Women's Center director. Langston spoke at Saturday's Sexual Harassment Seminar at Western.Female lawyers, doctors and administrators spoke about the problems, dimensions and solutions ofsexual harassment. Among the speakers were attorney Sheila McKinnon, attorney Carolyn Carnes,with the Equal Employment Opportunity Council, and Lois Spratlen, University of WashingtonOmbudsman for Sexual Harassmentâ€”all with the Northwest Women's Law Center in Seattle. Thefeatured speaker was Fairhaven economy and social theory professor Constance Faulkner, who wasinvolved in spearheading Western's sexual harassment policy. The policy, the first dealing withsexual harassment at Western, was adopted last January. Faulkner's talk "Ideological Roots of Unequal Power," illuminated sexual harassment as a symptom of sexism or the socially endowed unequalpower of men and women. "Americans internalize these values," she said. While male dominance isstrong, "reverse power situations (women sexually harassing men) are virtually impossible." Racism also reinforces sexism. Between Western's black and white faculty, Faulkner said, students look"automatically" to the white male for authority. Langston said sexual harassment includes sexualinnuendoes, suggestive comments, jokes about sex or gender-specific traits, threats, leering,whistling and obscene gestures. Forms of physical harassment cited were touching, pinching, brushingthe body, coerced sexual intercourse and assault. The effects of such abuse on women at school aswell as in the workplace include guilt, doubt, low morale, low productivity and humiliation. With about 40 people in attendance, Langston said, "I think one of the most important things that happened today was the educational benefit of sexual harassment to the community." She said she also was pleased menattended, saying it's important for men to take a stand against sexual harassment and learn theimportance of not committing it. Langston said that in today's world, "It's not enough to be male andsensitive (to stop sexual harassment)â€”men need to take a step further." However, the most importantobjective of the seminar was "to encourage women who face harassment to seek support andremedyâ€”that they're not isolated," and shouldn't feel emba-rassed, humiliated or guilty, Langstonsaid. Sexual harassment is "really a problem. It's for real." Myths hide harassment The information inthis article is from "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace," published by the Alliance Against SexualCoecion, an excerpt in "The Project on the Status and Education of Women." Myth â€” Sexualharassment affects only a few women. Factâ€”Surveys have documented the widespread nature ofsexual harassment. In one study, 88 percent of the respondents said they had experienced one or moreforms of unwanted sexual advances on the job. Mythâ€”Se?cual harassment is rare on collegecampuses. Factâ€”Women have only recently begun to talk about the long-hidden problem of sexualharassment of students, staff and faculty. Fear of ridicule, a sense of hopelessness about the problemand a feeling that it's a "personal" dilemma have kept the problem concealed. Mythâ€”If a woman reallywants to discourage unwanted sepcual attention, she can do so. If she's sexually harassed, she musthave asked for it. Factâ€”Many men believe a women's "no" is really "yes," and therefore do not accepther refusal. Also, when a man is in a position of power, such as employer or teacher, the women may be coerced or feel forced to submit. Mythâ€”Most charges of sexual harassment are false. Women use these charges as a way of "getting back" at a man whom they are angry at. Factâ€”Women who openly charge harassment often are not believed, may be ridiculed, may lose their job, be given a bad grade or be mistreated in some other way. Women have little to gain from false charges.

J ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 4 ---------- 4/Western Front OPINION Tuesday, May 17,1983 FRONT LINE AS election valid Board smooths ego,students will suffer The Associated Students Board of Directors last night rejected an invalidation appealto the students detriment. Four compiaiius nave oeen filed against the AS Election Board. One was filedby Don Hall, a night student, who was not informed of how to obtain absentee ballots and therefore wasunable to vote. Another complaint was filed by AS Vice President for External Affairs Leonard Brevik,because a student had gone to vote at 9 a.m. on election day and the poll in Red Square had not yetopened. Brevik filed another complaint after h e went to the polling station in Red Square and it h ad runout of ballots before 11 a.m. Brevik's third complaint said the results released Thursday night were notthe same as the results posted the next morning. In the election bylaws, students specifically areguaranteed the right to vote at the designated times and places a nd through absentee ballots. In ournation and on our campus, if a voter cannot submit his or her choice, the race becomes invalid. Thequestion of how many were prevented need not be raised. The bylaws should not become empty words.The AS loyalties were passionately divided. Some student leaders opted for a passive stance. They weretired. The elections had gone on a nd on. They did not want these evident flaws in the code to createcontroversy. Others fought for a invalidation of this year's run-off. They were called "poor losers.'' But thefact remains the elections were not fair. More important than political loyalties and bruised egos arestudent rights. The human services students, billed a "special interest group" by one election boardofficial, deserve the right to submit absentee ballots. The AS board decided the election's validity lastnight. They chose with their egos, not with their minds. The Front condemns the board's choice.Western: no respect The state capital construction budget that passed out of the Senate Ways andMeans Committee, since amended, demonstrated once again that Western is the Rodney Dan-gerfield of Washington's four-year universities. The Senate Ways and Means Committee approved capital budgetsfor each of the four-year schools higher than the level approved by the Houseâ€”except Western. TheCommittee's budget contained money for a major building project for every four-year schoolâ€”exceptWestern. This glaring omission was amended once the budget reached the floor. Sens. Lowell Peterson(D-Concrete) and H.A. "Barney'' Goltz (D-Bellingham) worked to put a $570,000 appropriation fordesigning an addition to the Art/Technology building in the budget. The capital construction budget only is the latest slap in Western's face. Some have been relatively light, such as the Council for Post-Secondary Education's statificaition enrollment plan. That plan would have tagged Western as an inferiorschool to the Univerity of Washington, Washington State University and The Evergreen State College.Some have been crushing blows. Gov. John Spellman proposed a budget that would fund Western at$1,000 less per student than the next lowest funded school. The operating budget passed by the Senatewould lower Western's instructional-faculty staffing level from 71.9 percent of formula to 70 percent offormula. Western would be the only school receiving a reduction. It's about time the Legislature quitmaking Western play the straight man in its comedy routine.

DIM BULB Bellingham vs. 'Boringham' It may not be home, but.Bellingham is many things to different people. For students transported from Omak or Roy, the townseems a teeming metropolis, a liberal outpost, a cultural mecca. For those uprooted from Bellevueor Tacoma, "Boringham" may be something to escape as soon and as frequently as possible. Butwhether Whatcom County's largest town is "Dullsville" or a four-year holiday camp, few studentsconsider Bellingham "home." Omak may have been left three years and 200 miles behind, but home iswhere mom is, and Bellingham remains a place to scoop up a degree and a spouse and split. ^ We siton our hill, with the town along its port, and rarely the twain shall meet. Even with this kind of distancethe imported studejit picks up a few of the town's nuances, like which stores, sell the cheapest beer,and the parks that stay open the latest. We adjust to the fact that one cop appears on the road for every Gordon Weeks features editor three inhabitants on a Saturday night. Of course, many of the localsgladly welcome the young out-of-towners with palms extended. For homeowners, any rathole is rentable, as many students know. Bellingham's pizza delivery service single-handedly is kept alive byresidence hall students. It's difficult to imagine Bellingham life through the eyes of a non-student,particularly because-many of us know so few. Being a local high schooler might be a bit awkward.Western looms above them on the hill, close, but perhaps unapproachable for financial, academic or personal reasons. And what do we assume we know about Bellingham's teenagers? One, they seem to spend every Friday night hangin' out at Herfys and two, they'll probably end up in the'fishing industry. Of course this is a terrible oversimplification, and no doubt a home-grown student who sees us as hit-and-run invaders from the north,' south and east will take offense, and rightly so. Western students fromBellingham are in the strangest position; one remarked he felt like a stranger in his own town. Being a participant in both communities must be difficult, because few people have insight on both. None ofthis would be much of a problem in a cow-town like Pullman because it's merely a little strip owing itsexistence to Washington State University. Bellingham and Western complement each other, andstudents, one fifth of the town's population, should try to understand its college's environment more.Antagonism at Fisher Fountain Nothing new to Christians People of God have been persecuted fortheir beliefs as long as man has graced the face of the earth. In the Old Testament these people werethe Israelites. In the New Testament, under the new covenant, God chose to offer His grace to everyoneand sent His Son as atonement for the world's sins â€” thus the beginning of Christianity andsubsequently, Christians. The Israelites consistently defeated large armies of enemies, tumbled citywalls and escaped oppression as Egyptian slaves. Christians were stoned to death, beaten and robbed,their Savior was nailed to a cross and left to die. But like God's miraculous parting of the Red Sea forMoses, Jesus Christ rose triumphant from the grave. Persecution has done little to stop theperpetuation of Christianity. Our country was founded largely by persons escaping religiousoppression, our pledge of allegiance is "to one nation under God . . .". It seems ironic then that suchpersecution would occur at all. But it does, it exists. A visit to Fisher Fountain between 8:50 and 9:00any Friday morning will alleviate any doubts. Christians have been gathering at the heart of Western'scampus to sing songs of worship and praise every weekday for the past 12 years. Until about five weeks ago they faced no opposition greater than a.curious glance or an occasional heckle from spectators.Led by guitarist Andy Veit, a Western student, a conglomeration of students have gathered to rock inthe weekend with an array of new wave music. Veit and his followers have chosen, out of five eight-hourdays, to meet the same ten minutes and only a few feet to the east of the Christians. Although Veitclaims he and his friends, who spearheaded the "alternative to having Christianity shoved down (their)throat,'' are Christians and disclaim any antagonistic motives, his antics leave room for speculation tothe contrary. While the secular musicians bring on their amplifiers and sometimes a whole string ofguitarists, the Christians have continued to gather, in the face of adversity, and offer words ofencouragement to each other as well as to their counterparts across the waters of Fisher Fountain. Last Friday, Eric Olsen, an intern from Campus Christian Fellowship and one of two guitar plavers for theChristians, read i the following from Luke 6:27-28: "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, dogood to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." Just a small part of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, this is a passage that those Christians who sing at the fountainhave chosen to live by. â€¢ See FOUNTAIN/page 5 ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, May 17,1983 Western Front/5 We're numb to the pain Cruelty and injustices can't penetrateAmerica Lauri Ann Reed opinion editor / read the news today, oh boy. "A Day in the Life," Lennon McCartney Sometimes, it's enough to make you cry. Once upon a day, the big news was theacquistion of a new general store. Now, the filler thrown into the bottom of the back page of the lateissue of the Hometown Herald describes in jarring detail the rape and assault of a 12-year-old girl. Thepublicâ€”no, the journalists and the publicâ€”have become so in-tune with violence and oppression, we've taken it under our wing, nurtured it as our child and catered to it with respect. Tragedy is part of oureveryday newspaper and everyday cup of coffee that we collectively drink every morning. It has lost itsability to shock us. We just have nothing left to shock us. Today, I read the paper: just an act in myeveryday life. First I read about an Ohio teenager who was decapitated. My fellow professionals placeit on the bottom of the page with a minute and understated headline. I wondered if the small blurb wasused as a last minute filler. I hoped it was put in a hidden position because the layout artists thought the small and stoic report was tragic. Then I saw the current story about the youth who killed his father outof pure desperation. He had been suffering for so very long, he felt he had a mission to end his dad's life.The story couldn't touch me, though. It hadn't happened to me. I saw stories about the drama all around us, every day; Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, herpes, cancer. We see the storiesseparately, day after day. We accept them. But, Lord, please, I'll read them and smile sympathetically; just don't let them touch any of my kin. George Shultz was applauded, respected, exalted for his lackof emotion. President Reagan gushed "George Shultz is the only man who can make rocket attack ,boring." Somehow, I feel deep inside that in these tragic times we really don't need a man who isunruffled by defensive and offensive war. The most shocking to me, the article that brought me out ofthis paralyzed fear of the world's horror, was the recent Mother Jones article on Adam Hoshchild's visit to El Salvador. I opened the magazine to the article and instantly was shocked and hurt by agraphic picture of three Salvadoran , rebelsâ€”decapitated. I always had thought we all were numb,that we saw pain and horror all around us and lightly skipped over it to talk about our classes. I alwayshad thought nothing in this age of sadness and pain could get through the exterior. The picture did.What we have to do is remember during every waking hour that things will become gradually worse andwe will watch and listen and smile discreetly over our plate of chicken if we don't look and do now. Itis so tragically easy to turn off the outside world. You must hide and close your eyes from the hurt. But,our society has reached the point when the sadness is everywhere. It's at Western where ConnieFaulkner pleads to the faculty Senate not to pass a Reduction-in- Force proposal. It's at Western wherethe question of an escort service becomes a question of money and rhetoric. It's at Western where we see announcements about the anti-apartheid and CISPES groups.and murmur politely before turningour heads. â€¢ Maybe a day will come when looking at the paper will make everyone cry for the victimsand go out and do something to help. Maybe it's time for everyone to cry. Fair apartment policy needed Students have individual rights in battle against housing system Shelley McKedy copy editor When anindividual enters college, four years later he is assumed to emerge a changed person â€” highermorals, a broader base of knowledge, greater self-esteem, and most importantly, to be able to thinkindependently in a clear and rational manner. Western's housing system has a more limited scope ofthis evolution. Fountain battle â€¢ FOUNTAIN, from page 4 "I see it as a distraction, but not a realthreat," Kris DeBruin, second of the two guitar players for the Christians, said. "Our power, joy andcommitment is at a different level." "I've been praying about how to respond in love," Olsen said. "Wehave a right to exercise our freedom to worship in Red Square. I've listened to him (Veit), but haven'ttaken the time to talk to him. I'm hesitant about being antagonistic. "It's a disturbance â€” his idea isthat he is offering an option. I question if it's an option." Veit's justification of offering an alternative tobeing force-fed Christianity doesn't hold much water. No Christians are attacking bystanders with hell,fire and brimstone evangelism at morning singing. No students walking between classes have beenchained and forced to listen to the words of the songs. While the Christians hope to affect positivelythose who do listen to what they sing, their communication is on a vertical, rather than horizontalplane. It's currently prohibiting unmarried women and men from sharing university apartments. Whileinitially a service to students, the system seems to have bartered for more power in its role as asovereign, surrogate mother. Such selective discrimination, as to dictate roommates and potentialfriends, is, of course, in the best interest of Western's students. It promotes people's ability to thinkfor themselves and make decisions that will best suit their needs, some administrators reason. Ifstudents who usually are old enough to vote by the time they attend college are supposed to be able tomake their own decisions, then why not let them? The concern that rampant, deteriorating morals would escalate should be calmed by knowing that people are going to pursue their own happiness no matterthe policy passed and no way to enforce such Old World values exists. Thus, the look-the-other-waysyndrome, practiced with the widespread use of drugs and alcohol by minors throughout the residencehalls and. apartments, is explained. The rules to this balJgame are strict only in words â€” notexamples of enforcements. Many students live together for convenience reasons. Barring the freedom of choice in roommates is detrimental to many financially strapped students who might otherwise be ableto live better or even attend college. Men and women students live together off campus. Banning suchpractices at Western only widens the bridge of students seeking housing accommodations elsewherethan the naive housing system. Finally, "is it the university's business to coax this studentmetamorphosis to the degree of limiting adult housing on the basis of gender? I think not, especially in light of Western's mission, as stated in the general catalog, to be one which "nurtures bothindividual development and a free and humane society." Students are entitled to privacy and, if for noother reason than this, should be allowed to deliberate in their own minds to seek what's best forthemselves. To discriminate on basis of marital status is, at the very least, an infringement on students'personal lives, not to mention the traditional institution of marriage it encourages, which allegedly isnot the role of a university â€” the "stronghold of free thought." Whatever recommendation the Committee on Housing and Dining makes regarding Western's future apartment policy, let it bear in mind that the decision made will have far reaching implications when it's finally resolved.

Thedefeated candidates emerging from the scramble for their chosen positions agree it was a learningexperience. For the most part, they also have future political ambitions and political memories not soonforgotten. Vice president for Internal Affairs candidate, Gary Garrett said "I had anticipated it (losing), so it was not a great surprise," which seemed to be the general a t t i t u d e shared by the candidates.Garrett said he thought he lost for many reasons, the first being, "the fact Ron (Bensley) beingcurrently in the AS had the chance to do favors for people that won him endorsements from the Inter-hall Council." Also, Garrett said Bens-ley's previous exposure to the Front staff helped him gain theirendorsement. "The unfounded charges brought by Ron Bensley, coupled with the fact that the results of the election board hearing that he had no complaint, were not nublicized until after the. election,"Garrett said. "The article in the Front regarding the election should not have been printed until after the election board hearing, since the article came out the day before the election. "I have no badfeelings because I have learned about how some people are and after seeing the methods employed byBensley, events came as no surprise. I believe that in this case, Ron Bensley would do very well in thepolitical system in the U.S." When Garrett was asked if he learned from running for an office he said,"Yes, I learned that wanting to do what you think best for constituents does not matter in politics.Instead, if one wants to be elected, the game must be played according to the rules ofjmimmmmmmmmmmsamk*mimmmjmm others." Politcal science and Huxley major Dave McFaddenhad different sentiments in retrospect of his race for president. While he expected to lose, he said, as the time of election results approached, "I found that I hadn't put enough effort into it and I didn't have abase of support such as the Front or the IHC." Citing reasons for defeat, McFadden said, "First of all,I didn't go out and campaign hard enough. I think of the three candidates, I knew the most about thejob and its frustrations. "I just think it's kind of poor that there has to be a lot of complaining. Youknow, reports of posters being torn down, overexpendituresâ€”a variety of things the election board hasto deal with. There's just a lot of name-calling and mudslinging. That's sad. "I don't know if thepresidential candidates really know what they're getting into. I don't doubt their desires or the fact that they'll work hard, but I just hope that they aren't overwhelmed by all the little tasks and general bullshitthe president has to undertake." "I learned what to do in a campaign and not do. I need to work harder and I need to get an established base of support...or be creative and make up a base of support suchas making up a party name and relate it to a certain sector of campus." He said being creative andworking harder and getting people to work for him will be his top priority if he runs for office again,along with getting more students involved in the process. Also, "If I run again, I would like to establish abetter reputation with the Western Front and work harder to get their endorsement." Vice president forActivities candidate Mark Marlow said, "When I first saw the final figures I was very disappointed andrather humiliated that I lost by â€¢ H H H H H B M I i M H W l i i a a s i l l t t MAKE A MAJORDECISION THIS SPRING â€¢ I I c o a. o o I I Open Mike Thursday 8:00 p.m. KEGS to goSpecial $29.19 With Coupon â€” Expires 5-27-83 \^fc BEECH HOUSE PUB X 113 E.

Later, that emotion changed to anger that I had lost. I should have won. I reallywanted to win and I still feel that I'm the best candidate for the position. I wish there was somehow Icould get another chance." Marlow, too, found flaws in his campaigning methods. "I didn't run a goodenough campaignâ€”I didn't go out to be popular. I tried to expose errors in my opponent's campaign. Ididn't spend enough time going out and meeting people. All these wonderful ideas are coming to meafter the election." Marlow said while he "didn't want to place any blame," he observed manyshortcomings in the way the elections were handled. "I feel that especially the lower positions don't getenough attention. There's not enough interaction between students and people(campaigning)...Not enough coverage in media later in the election. I don't like the IHC getting such alarge voice when really perhaps they don't deserve it. I don't see them as that important agroupâ€”they have some internal structural problems. "I did learn that it's a lot more of a popularitycontest than it is a test of qualifications," Marlow said. George Sidles, candidate for vice president ofAcademic Affairs, agreed also that his defeat came as no surprise. "I figured losing would just about beinevitable following the Front's negative endorsement." Other reasons for the defeat, Sidles said, included his opponent Soren Ryherd's living in the residence halls, Ryherd's sister living in the residence hallsand doing "a very good job of mobilizing the dorm vote." Sidles, too, will be involved in the AS nextyear, he said, probably on the program council, the Washington Student Lobby or the AS Board ofDirectors; however, "It's too early to say at this point. I have a serious interest in student government."Sidles also observed flaws in the election process. "The way things came down, everything seemed alittle forced and a little rushed. It didn't run smoothly and it was difficult for us candidates to plan ourinvolvement." For example, Sidles said, the deadlines for preparations were always very abrupt. Later he said, "I would like to have seen more Front coverage. I got the feeling that among the editorial boardthere was kind of a condescending view of student governmentâ€”a holier-than-thou attitude." "I didn'trun for the glory of winning. I ran for the opportunity to work. In losing in some ways it's almost a relief...If you win then you have to live up to the expectations you've garned." Sidles said he's not the "bitter-feeling type," and committed himself to supporting Ryherd next year. Secretary/treasurer candidateSteve Graham said he, too, was expecting defeat. "I was glad because at least it was over. I was veryafraid of a run-off." Reasons for that defeat Graham said were his absence from Western since 1979. "Isaid all the way through campaigning that I was not a politician and I think I proved it. I don't even want to be a politician. I'm an administrator." Graham was quick to point out some flaws in the process. "Bythe time position no. 6 spoke at the forums no one was there...Secondly, Western Front's reporting orlack of because there was a lack of investigation on their behalf of things that went down. "They neededan objective statement on the candidates and the effects of the programs they v advocated. I feel theylacked the who, what, why, where and how of basic journalism." Learning disabilities discussed Friday By CLAIRE SWEDBERG The Tutorial Center will host an all-day presentation Friday, in the VikingUnion Lounge, for Western's first Learning Disabilities Awareness Day. Speakers will discuss learning disabilities at the grade school, high school and university level, and how to cope with learning andlanguage disabilities. Learning Disabled Coordinator Dorothy Crow said two percent of the students atWestern have a learning disability and the Tutorial Center aids these students. Many of thesestudents have difficulty with written or multiple choice exams. In such a case an oral exam can be givenby the professor or the Tutorial Center. "We want to stress that these students are as bright asanyone," Crow said. "We are merely helping students cope with university work." A person with alearning disability has a disorder of one or more of the mental processes involving an understanding ofthe language, written or spoken, which may result in difficulty with listening, thinking or reading. Thisdoesn't include people with visual or hearing handicaps, or mental retardation. The Tutorial Center wantsto have students and faculty at the presentation to increase public awareness of what having alearning disability means. The presentation begins with coffee at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m.Prominent banker wishes to help put 10,000 students through college.

We 're sacrificing personal ambition for the whole. We take class overloads, act asprogram advisers, do graduate and committee work; people come here knowing about some of us,wanting to learn from us. After all of that, to not have any consideration in return is a slap in the face." -Charles Fo?c political science professor Chuck and Siegrun Fox have one and two-fifths job betweenthem. Next year, they only will have one-half. The one slot the two public policy and administrationinstructors share has been strung along in recent years by their fellow colleague's effort to shift summerhours to keep them. "In order to keep them on, our faculty met and did a summer shift," professorMaurice Foisy of the political science department said. "That essentially means we took cuts in hoursand a $2,000 to $4,000 a year cut in pay. "We will do summer shift again for them this year," Foisycontinued. "We hoped these problems in higher education are temporary and that we can somehow keep our program together. There's been a lot of pulling together." Foisy said his fellow professors'commitment to teaching is evident in the quality and the amount of work they take. "They've alwaystaught more than their share," he said. "They're really good people and they work for the students.We're getting double out of them. They're just excellent academically. But, while the commitment isthere, the recognition isn't." Political science student Jon Sitkin said Chuck Fox "encouragesindependent thought." "He's a very high-quality professor. Students respect him," Sitkin said."Siegrun is an excellent teacher," political science student Molly St. Germain said. "She teaches in away where you have to have the research behind you. She teaches you how to write and defend yourarguments. Cutting the Foxes will hurt everyone. It's fine to build up other departments but it'sreally frustrating. Professors have to keep their education going so we can keep our's going; the Foxesdo that." The objects of all this effusive praise sit in their Highland Drive home with their son, Harold, aprecocious and, evidently, intelligent four-year-old. With their jobs being threatened, they are wary. "Wewere originally in the job-sharing business. It was supposed to be the way of the future," Chuck said."When we came, we thought we were acting in a very progressive way," Siegrun said. "Now we're beinghurt for being pioneers, for leading a new lifestyle." Chuck is the adviser for the public policy andadministration program in the department and Siegrun supervises the internship program and researchmethods instruction. They both teach public policy and introductory classes. In order to continue to getMedical Blue Cross, one of the couple must have at least half a job. While Siegrun may look next yearfor some part-time work elsewhere, Chuck said he feels compelled to stay and fulfill the half-timerequirement. "All of the political science professors are doing things themselves now...typing, xeroxing,"Siegrun said. "At first they tried to cut in marginal areas. Now, they have to go after faculty. Theadministrators are just doing what the legislators are making them do." Chuck said the administration ofPaul Olscamp, former university president, tried to keep a certain percentage of each department non-tenure-tracked; now a new generation of teachers don't have the right to apply for tenure. Chuck Fon:"We've always been second-class citizens. We have loyalty in Western. We like the students. We likethe northwest. This Photos by Blair Kooistra has hurt our careers. We probably should have struck awayfrom here a long time ago. "We've always been second-class citizens," he said. "We have loyalty inWestern. We like the students. We like the Northwest. This has hurt our careers. We probably should have struck away from here a long time ago. "It's tough-to move. We have a lot of community contacts.It's a shame that the university should be losing that. You do a good job and expect to settle down here," he said. Chuck said they always have had the support of the department in their struggle. "Politicalscience is the only department that has had to shift its summer hours twice," he said. Many people may remember Chuck Fox from his ill-fated legislative campaign last fall against Rep. Pat McMullen of the40th legislative district. "The office would have given me a part-time job in the legislature," he said. "Iwould consider running again but the demographics of the 40th district are against the Bellinghamcandidate," he said. "I'm disappointed with this legislature," he continued. "People in this state workedvery hard to elect a democratic legislature so we could have stability, consistency in higher education.The campaign rhetoric of last fall dealt with stable higher education. We have been through the worstright-wing legislatures in the recent years and suffered cuts, but this is our worst year for cuts." Siegrunsaid the planning process for a new faculty Reductions-in-Force has begun. Departments all have theirvarious scenarios ready for what to cut when they get the legislative nod. "We're living in a constantbattleground," Chuck said. "The administration is limited, stuck between a rock and a hard place.They can cut entire programs or cut evenly across departments." "There is always a problem that youretain those who have been here for a long time," Chuck said. "Not that age is equated with non-excellence. You can see their point of view, too. So, you cut the younger faculty without tenure." Chucksaid that while tenur ? to protect academic freedom is necessary, "we would just like a chance to get it.". "There was a whole generation of people who haven't had a chance to compete for tenure," he said."One-third of classes taught in this country are taught by professors with PhDs and no tenure. There is a two-class system. That's the injustice." Siegrun said that non-tenured professors don't getsabbaticals or research money. "The fringe benefits are lacking," she said. "You don't dare leave. Yourjob will be gone," Chuck said. "So this, in turn, hurts your publishing record and your publishing record gets you tenure." "When I was campaigning, it gave me a different view of what tough times are reallylike. We haven't even started on our unemployment. We have at least another two years to live," Chuckexclaimed. While Chuck would like to keep a full-time job at Western, Siegrun wants only part-timebecause of their son. "Political science has always had enough students," Chuck explained. "I go to aclass and it's filled up. The students seem to be learning, listening. But, somehow, it's not allowed togo on," he said. Siegrun, from Germany, is soft-spoken ana understanding and has traveled throughoutthe Soviet Union, Europe and India. She has a masters in Regional Planning from Munich University.She interned in Czechoslavakia. She's been offered regional planning jobs in Europe worth much morethan her part-time job in Bellingham. Yet, she stays. Siegrun said talented professors throughout theuniversity now are threatened with the new RIF. ' 'We've developed a new class of migrant workers ineducation," Chuck said. "It doesn't lookgood for a long time," he reflected. "If you can just forget aboutthe legislature and forget about the money difficulties and go to work every day, it's a great place towork." "If I have one message to portray to the powers that be, it would be, try to figure out a way tokeep us! We're good and we're loyal," Chuck added. With her son Harold tugging on her shoulders,Siegrun sighed and looked out to the Bellingham Bay. "If nothing else, looking out on the water is sogood for thinking," she said. "When we came, we thought we were acting in a very progressive way,"Siegrun Fox said. "Now we're being hurt for being pioneers, for leading a new lifestyle." ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 8 ---------- 8/Western Front SPORTS Tuesday, May 17,1983 Vikings sweep districts, coaches honored Women win first district title Jennifer Schwartz, Wendy Malich and Deborah Ocken hurdled to a 3-2-1 Viking sweepin the 100 meter h;urdles.

Western Front/9 Golfers off to Nationals By STEVE RUPP For the third time infour years Western's golf team is headed for the NAIA National Tournament. This year the tournamentwill be June 7-10 in Fort Worth, Texas. Western won the District I title in 1980 and 1981, but lost toCentral Washington University last year in the first hole of a sudden death playoff Sudden deathplayed a role in this year's district tourney, but rather than deciding which team won the title, it decidedwhich golfer earned medalist honors. After 36 holes, Viking Greg Ashby and Pacific LutheranUniversity's Jeff Clare were tied with 147. Both golfers picked up pars on the first sudden death hole.Ashby claimed the top district spot on the next hole, shooting a bogey while Clare double-bogeyed. As a team, the Vikings finished seven strokes ahead of PLU. The University of Puget Sound, defendingdistrict champion Central and host Whitman College rounded out the field. Ashby and his teammates, Brian Bloom, Brien Flannigan, Rick Harris and John Sherman are now headed for Fort Worth arid headcoach Bill Westphal couldn't be happier. "The guys came together as a team," he said. "It's really fun to win down there." Ashby echoed his coach's feelings, ' 'It feels really great," he said. "My teammatesspurred me on, I didn't want to blow it." The Vikings started slow this season because they weren't sure they were even going to have a team, Ashby said. He credited their strong finish to the amount ofpractice the Vikings had near the end of the regular season. "We wanted it to happen that way," he said. "The last couple of' weeks before district." As for his first season as golf coach, Westphal said heenjoyed the way the team came together at the end. "It's a great sport to coach," Westphal said. "There is a lot less pressure than in basketball." Crew dominates cup race By DAN RAMSAY Led by avictorious men's varsity-eight boat, West-em's crew teams finished the season in Seattle at the PacificNorthwest Rowing Regatta on Green Lake. The Viking victory returned the LaFramboise Cup, whichsignifies the Northwest Small-college champion, to Western. It is Western's ninth LaFramboise Cupvictory in the last 11 years. Last year, the Vikings didn't compete because of a rule making the winnerineligible the following year, thus Western won't be in the cup race next year. The same men's varsity-eight boat raced in the Steward's Cup later in the day (Saturday). The Steward's Cup is an open event,unlike the Lafram-boise Cup. This time Western finished third. The University of Washington won the1,350-meter race and Brentwood College of Vancouver Island was second. In the women's open-eightcompetition, the Lake Washington Rowing Club outdistanced the pack to post an impressive victory.Western finished fourth in a strong field behind LWRC, Lakeside and the Vancouver Rowing Club. LWRCis mostly women hopefuls for the 1984 United States Olympic team. The women's frosh/novice-eightcaptured fourth behind UW, Seattle Pacific University and a second UW boat. They won their qualifyingheat. Other women finishes included a third place in the college-eight, the same eight who rowed in theopen-eight; a seventh place in the lightweight-eight and a third place in the flyweight-four. The men'slightweight-eight finished second behind Brentwood, but ahead of UW, always a satisfying feeling to allHusky rivals, men's Coach Fil Leanderson said. Last weeekend's weather was no major factor in theGreen Lake competition. Saturday was a little rainy and cold and Sunday was a bit nicer with some sunbreaks and smoother water, Leanderson said. The victorious men's varsity-eight will lose four seniors tograduation this year. They are Scott Winter, Marv Toland, Steve Bader and Eric Johnson. Winter,Toland and Bader were members of the 1981 LaFramboise Cup champions. One team member whorowed in the LaFramboise Cup race last year is junior Paul Kalina. Kalina was then a member of thePacific Lutheran University crew team that placed third and he was glad to be in the winning boat thisyear. "We did as well as we expected to do thisyear," he said. Not bad for a team that won it all. Thefrosh-eight settled for a sixth after qualifying in its heat with the fourth best time overall. Leandersonexplained that a seat jumped the slide track and casued a few problems for the frosh boat. Brentwoodwon the frosh-eight race. A fourth place by the men's junior varsity-eight and a sixth place by an alumniboat in the lightweight four composed the remaining Viking finishes. Both Leanderson and women'sCoach Ron Okura were pleased with their teams' seasons. Both said they thought Western has reasonto be proud of its crew teams, the class of the Northwest small-college teams.

Resume ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 10 ---------- 10/Western Front Tuesday, May 17,1983 Hansen tabs new assistant grid coaches By SETH PRESTON Three more assistant coaches have been named to Head Football Coach Paul Hansen's staff. GaryPatrick, a former starting offensive guard at Washington State University; Dave Chris-tensen, a formerUniversity of Washington gridder; and Rick Clark, an assistant coach at Wenatchee Valley CommunityCollege will join the grid ranks this spring. Hansen said that Patrick will handle the defensive line, Chris-tensen will run the scout team and Clark will coach the running backs. "I really don't know what hasbeen done in the past," Hansen said. "Since we have the people to do it, it makes sense." The threenew coaches join the current staff of Mark Hassart (offensive line), Steve Swanson (linebackers) and JayMills. Kevin Lusk, a former University of Oregon starting quarterback from Seattle's Tyee High Schooloriginally was slated to be the Vikings' quarterback coach. However, Hansen said Lusk wouldn't becoming to Western. "He got married a while back and he can't (financially) afford to come right now,"Hansen said. The assistant coaches share a $10,000 budget allotment. Hansen is searching for one ortwo more coaches to handle the defensive secondary, and the wide receivers or quarterbacks.Meanwhile, he has continued to recruit athletes for the upcoming season. "Now that major collegesare done recruiting, we're running into competition from junior colleges," Hansen said. "Athletes thathave visited Western are now being approached by the junior colleges," and may reconsider enrollinghere. Some potential recruits probably would be lost to competitors, Hansen said, "but not too many.We're going to be a very young team next year. We're going to have a good freshman class." Hansenexpected to be able to announce a list of recruits by the end of spring quarter. But because of theincreased competition, many athletes are waiting to make commitments. Hansen may not have acompleted list until mid-summer. Hansen has divided the state into seven districts to aid recruiting.The areas are from British Columbia to Everett; east of Seattle (including Bellevue, Issaquah andKent); a Seattle-Bremerton district; a Tacoma-Olympia area; a southern district (including Vancouverand Chehalis); a central area (including Yakima, Wenatchee and the Tri-Cities); and the Spokanearea. While recruiting, Hansen is overseeing the construction of a new weight training facility. Theformer outdoor handball courts behind the Ridgeway residence halls are being remodeled to house thevarsity training program. The new facility will provide about four times as much space as the one inCarver Gym, Hansen said. The courts are used as garbage receptacles. Remodeling will be completed in time for fall drills, which are scheduled to begin Sept. 1. Steeplechaser strives for Indy nationals BySHELLEY McKEDY Planning, patience and persistence are perhaps the most important elementsneeded to send a promising but proven athlete to a national competition. Clay Stenberg has hopes oftraveling more than 2,000 miles this June for a three-day track meet so he can splash his way through seven waterjumps, hurl over 28 three-feet-high, solid wood blocks for 2,000 meters in less than nineminutes. His event? The steeplechase. The 1983 business administration alumnus and holder ofWestern's steeplechase record (8:50:50.4), Stenberg is one of the "founding members" of a local trackclub â€” The Flying Iguanas. Stenberg also is an assistant track coach at Western, of whom Men'sTrack Coach Ralph Ver-nacchia said, "He's done a real good job. He's excellent."

Stenberg said the organization's plan to "go to the community to see if they'd donatestuff â€” and have a garage sale," is similar to fund-raising methods employed by some Westernathletic teams. While the U.S. steeplechase record stands at 8:15, Stenberg must shorten his act bythree minutes to qualify (8:47). At the Pre-classic, June 4 in Eugene, Ore., he said he will attempt tobreak his own record. Another obstacle on the road to victory is Stenberg's new-found employment,which is limiting his time for practice. While gaining seconds on the steeplechase has been Stenberg'smain goal for several years, he calls it his "crime passion." Concerning the Olympics, Stenberg said, "I'd like to commit , myself all the way through 1988. It doesn't look like I'm going to make '84. "I think what I'm most interested in is competing on a national class level." However, everything considered,Stenberg said, "I seem to be the closest to qualifying for nationals, but there also are some otherathletes with the ability to qualify." These fellow Iguanas are 400- meter intermediate hurdler JohnKotsogeanis, 1,500- and 5,000- meter runner Saul Kinderis, hammerthrowers Martin Rudy and RodRitter, and Blake Surina in the decathlon.

Program Commission Special Events ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 11 ---------- Tuesday, May 17,1983 ARTS Western Front/11 Student musicians perform own works By CHRISMCMILLAN , Music is an art that touches everyone. Yet, the opportunity to hear new music performedlive is lost to many people, buried within recording sessions and expensive concert tickets. But fiveWestern students will present six pieces of new music to the public at 8 p.m. Thursday in thePerforming Arts Center. Admission is free. Clive Pohl might be one of the more familiar composers to theaudience. He is a member of the local bands "Red Scare" and "New Offensive." His piece Thursday,night, a guitar solo entitled "Lissen," came from no inspirational idea, just the desire to create a small,contained piece of music. "Inspiration is not necessarily something that just comes," he said. "Youwork on a piece and sometimes it clicks and. sometimes it doesn't. This particular piece clicked prettyeasily." Pohl will perform on a steel guitar, and will use a "finger-style jazz" technique, unlike the morestructured, classical style. "Classical players grow their right fingernails long and strike the strings ina certain fashion," he said, imitating the method with his hands. "Finger-style isn't as structured." Pohlsaid he plans to graduate next year, but doesn't plan to make a career out of music composition."There's not enough money in it," he said. "You either have to be subsidized or get your incomesomewhere else. Because if you do it to make money, you end up doing it for other people and notyourself. That's compromise and that's something I've come to grips with recently, that I don't want towrite music commercially. I'll always write music, but it'll be for me, rather than the general public." What Pohl plans to do after graduation is travel to Europe, then continue with postgraduate work in music orsome other field. "It depends on how I'm feeling about the professional world," he said. Ron Averill,however, said he plans to make composing his career. A junior at Western, his "Quintet for Five B-FlatTrumpets" is one of the larger productions in the concert, with a prelude and three movements. Averillsaid it took him about a month to write the piece, following a suggestion from his trumpet teacher to write a trumpet quintet. Other than that, he said, he had no other symbolic theme. "I didn't have something inmind when I started," he said. "I didn't start saying 'OK, I'll show this through the piece.' I just wrote it asit came." Once the music was written, Averill said the sound of two of the movements inspired him when naming them. The first, "Opiate Won," dealt with the classification of famous music. "My thinkingbehind that was, first of all, when someone writes a great work and after they're dead, they'll becategorized as opuses. So that's sort of like Opus One." His second movement, "The 26th Element,"was named because the music reminded Averill of a train. "The 26th Element is ferriferous, what iron'smade of. After I finished writing it, it kind of made me think of'Iron Horse.' That phrase came to mind, sothat's what I called that. Part of the music just made me think of an old train." John Kilburn also startedwith a basic idea for his "Sextet for Two Oboes, Two Horns, Baritone and Tuba." A senior graduatingthis fall, he wanted to combine two different musical sounds into one piece. NEW Muac NEW MJSC"I was working with the particular idea of using brass and oboes in music, like a conversation betweentwo diverse elements. So I had an idea with the brass and an idea with the oboe and kind of worked itout." Kilburn said he started playing as a small child. He said he likes using music as an expression ofcreativity because of its indirectness. "Music to me is a really powerful means of communication.Whereas with a lot of other arts, like painting, are visual, music is more subtle. It happens through time.It's something you experience new everytime. It has a more subtle mystery to it than the other arts."Kilburn said he tried to bring that mystery into his piece by making it exciting on two different listeninglevels. "The concept was to be able to enjoy it on just a relaxing listening level or an intellectual level.There are things in it that will always surprise you. Everytime you listen to it you'll hear a relationship you didn't hear before. While in some pieces, you can listen to it once and you can be moved by itphysically, but, you know, you understand it completely." Kilburn said he's inspired by many differentthings, but he doesn't try to transfer them in his music. Instead, he uses broad ideas and tries tocombine several of them into his piece. â€¢ "Mainly/I think of philosophical ideas. Like, I might beinfluenced by the coming of spring and watch the day-to-day changes, but I won't necessarily try totransfer that musically, except for the fact that I'm moved in a particular way. "Sometimes you'll have anidea that will spur the musical construction or sometimes you'll have an idea you'll want to explorewith some musical instrument. I think one thing I try to do is blend synthesis of ideas rather thanbreaking things apart and having a bunch of separate ideas. I like bringing ideas together." Three otherstudent works will be presented Thursday. A recording of Jeff Beman's "Realization: Pictures in theFog," performed on an ARP synthesizer, will be played, along with a live performance of . Beman's"Nocturnal Frolic." Beginning the program is a short, prelude-type piece entitled "Entrada," by DavidMcBride. Ignore this space or else.

I decided I wasn't close enoughto music. The ideal solution would be to make some myself. Enlisting my little sister's cast-off JohnDenver acoustic and a semi-professional friend from San Francisco, I realized almost immediately I didn't want to learn, I wanted to play. Some friends and I had formed a concept band in high school. Aftermuch deliberation, we settled on the name "Beyond," with a science-fiction image and nova logo."Beyond" was two brothers on first and second lead guitar (they could haltingly play the chordprogression for "Smoke on the Water"), my best friend on bass (he had one in junior high school, buttraded it for a sleeping bag), a mutual girlfriend on keys (she could pick and sing a little) and myself ondrums (I figured anything they could fake, the drummer could fake better). We dreamed with the bestof them. We were six-month superstars, with the world at our feet. I still have a portfolio of costume,instrument, stage and album cover designs. We discussed song ideas and tested lyrics. But we nevereven attempted to rehearse â€” we never even had instruments. Somehow, I think that would havedestroyed the reality of the venture. (All right, I've no musical ability, but I'll bet I'd make a great hanger-on! If all those worthless zombies can get all the sex and drugs and rock and roll they can abuse, whycouldn't a real person, too? Why couldn't I write songs, or roadie, or manage, or assist, or â€” ?)Back to the quest. I watched musicians work, to feel music at its source. Eddie and the Atlan-tics,Romeo Void, Van Halen, a polka band in the Seattle Center â€” they all helped. And then, October 20 in the Kingdome: Benediction! The Who, live and in Seattle! And I'd paid $16.50 to be under the sameroof! The Who have my vote for Greatest Musical Force Ever, so I didn't go with an open, objectivemind. That would have been impossible, and silly besides. With the death of John Lennon, PeteTownshend was left as rock's thinking man. Townshend's legacy includes the single greatest line inall rockdom ("Hope I die before I get old." Crash, shriek, thumpa-thumpa blamtl, a religiously life-affirming album ("Who's Next"), and the work that will some day stand him beside Beethoven and Mozart("Quadrophenia"). The world forgave him his nose years ago. In Seattle that night, when the lights wentdown and the crowd went up, I was standing with some others in the bleachers behind the stage. Thenoise was like a tide, and then Pete Townshend was sprinting, alone, up the ramp and onto the stage, AND HE WAS ONLY 20 FEET AWAY! social force, I couldn't feel it from where I sat. (I know, I know,but can or should we separate reality from myth? Part of rock music's main 'hrust is confusing fantasywith reality â€” how many hours did you spend practicing your Plant and Page impressions in thebathroom mirror?) (Rock is a very Faustain business. Townshend, Jagger, Richards and the rest havelived the lives of 10 men and given greatly of themselves â€” and He didn't look at us. He probablycouldn't even hear our cries of "Pete, Pete!" He seemed focused, but relaxed, taking the stage with therest of the band suddenly fanning out behind him. They started slamming out "My Generation." On thequarter-mile sprint back to my seat, I was mostly an inch-and- a-half off the corridor floor. The contactwas a terrific rush, and of the two-and-a-half-hour show, those first few minutes were the best. I fullyexpected to break down at this concert, to come away tear-stained and drained.

Note how many of them aren't anymore.) The otherband on that magic October 20 bill was the Clashâ€” who confirmed my suspicions they are the onlyband around today with the talent and vision to replace the Who in any lasting capacity. Musically, theClash are already there; now they've just got to wait for everyone to own up to the fact. I know some ofyou reading this aren't buying it. Music is the most abstract of the arts and therefore maybe the mostsubjective. Do you know anyone who thinks the Clash or the Who are no-talent po seurs? I know acouple. We all have our opinions â€” and take them a little too seriously. This is a universalphenomenon; for instance, I think Dan Fogelberg is a simpering phony, and that country-westernranks with witch-burning as a Great American Pas-stime. But what of it, you know? Somewhere in there, I found more or less what I needed. Maybe it was just due to the clearer perspective the search andreflection apparently had given me. I found viable musical alternatives and supplements in big-band jazz(the rock and roll of-its time) and symphonic classical (music of great, affecting scope; remember themain title theme from "Star Wars?"). What one wants to hear is also affected by what one wants fromthe experience: relaxation or aggravation.

Tuesday, May 17, 1983 * BULLETIN * Election validated TheAssociated Students Board of Directors voted last night to validate the run-off election betweenpresidential hopefuls Dana Grand and Ty Hanson. The decision was the final step in assuring Grantwould be next year's AS president. After hearing various complaints by students the board voted 5 to3 in favor of upholding Thursday's election. The AS board vote to offer an ^apology , for the inconvenience caused by a faulty polling booth. Complaints filed to election board By ELAYNE ANDERSON At least four complaints were filed with the election board after Thursday's Associated Students Board ofDirectors presidential run-off election, which put Dana Grant over the top with five more votes than hisopponent, Ty Hanson. The election board was scheduled to meet yesterday to review the complaints. Election Board Chairwoman Marian Young said probably no action would be taken on the complaintsuntil today or tomorrow. Copies of the complaints were not available to the Front. However, three ofthe complaints were filed by Leonard Brevik, AS vice president for external affairs. In one complaint,Brevik said he cnargea mat trie Ked Square polling booth didn't open until about 9:25 a.m. Accordingto election codes booths are to be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Brevik said he was in Red Squareattending an (E)Quality booth from 9 to 10 the morning of the election. He said several studentsapproached his booth to vote and he had to direct them to another polling areai Another complaint filedby Brevik states that the Red Square voting booth ran out of ballots at 11 a.m. when he went to vote. He said the booth again ran out of ballots at 1 p.m. Young said the Red Square booth opened about 10minutes late. She said the people attending the booth had classes, and this sometimes made itdifficult to check all the booths. Brevik's third complaint was that the election results released Thursdaynight did not match the results posted the following morning. Thursday night the results 446 for Grantand 440 for Hanson, with three absentee ballots outstanding. Friday morning the results were postedas 446 for Grant and 441 for Hanson, including the absentee ballots. Young said the two-votediscrepancy was because Thursday night the votes were hand counted and the next morning theywere computer tallied. "What can you expect when you're hand counting over 800 votes," Young said.The votes were hand counted three times. Don Hall, a senior human services student, said he filed acomplaint because he was not made aware of the availability of absentee ballots. Hall is a night studentand works a 40-hour week. He said he didn't think this violated election codes, but wanted to informthe election board of the problems night students have voting. "There was nothing in the Voter'sPamphlet or the Western Front. I feel there was a lot of students in human services left out. Asstudents, it's our right to vote. "I'm just asking them to take into consideration that there are somestudents who didn't have the opportunity to vote in both elections." Young said "mistakes were made"during the elections, but none of them were made maliciously. She said the election is a learningexperience like all AS activities. A lot of the complaints are because the election was so close, Youngsaid.

The 73-year-old Bright, nearly totally blind, is guided by Western sophomore David LaRocque. Bright set severalworld records since graduating from Bellingham Normal School, Western's predecessor, in 1929. Morethan 200 runners completed the sixth-annual race, sponsored by the Alumni Office. History prof Kohl dies Paul A. Kohl, of the history department, died yesterday at the age of 62. He was director of the archival and records management program. He collapsed outside the Lecture Hall building atapproximately 10:20 a.m., said Chuck Page of campus police. Two officers for Western's departmentof public safety and a female student worked on Kohl until paramedics from the Bellingham firedepartment arrived. According to eye witnesses, Kohl hit his head on the door frame as he fell whengoing through the rear entrance. Margaret Cagle interrupted the Biology 101 class in Lecture Hall 4 toask if anyone knew cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques. The man was not bre-thing and hadno pulse, she said.

Mayer spoke to a Huxley reunion group last Thursday. Huxley deanlooks to future By KAREN McCRACKIN Thursday, Dean Richard Mayer of Huxley College spoke to 25alumni, students and faculty as part of Huxley's first reunion. He described Huxley's future, its "dreamsand visions." He said that although it's a strange time to look aheadâ€”in the midst of serious budgetcutbacks and enrollment declineâ€” dreams and inspirations still are needed. He said next fall Huxley expects to begin its master's program in environmental science. He hopes to follow this with anothermaster's program in human ecology. He said the shape of work at Huxley will expand upper division and graduate programs. In the distant future possibly is a cooperative doctorate program betweenHuxley and the University of Washington. "Huxley College will become a graduate degree traininginstitution with significantly large numbers of students pursuing master's degrees," he said. Mayersaid he also envisions a new career field and major, environmental management. Huxley would work with the business department to train students to work with business and industry, students who wouldbe. â€¢environmentally sensitive and aware. Huxley currently is working on an off-campus program inSeattle where people will be able to obtain a B.A. or B.S. through Huxley. Huxley is investigating thepossibility of offering a degree through the social assessment and policy concentration now, he said.Finally, he said he sees Huxley expansively involved in environmental education. He envisions Huxleyworking with state agencies so that teaching of environmental education is integrated in the schooldistrict's curriculum. Mayer said because environmental education is interdisciplinary, it can serve asa take-off point for students to study in numerous other fields. Huxley's goal is to provide the best liberal arts education possible and to teach environmental awareness, he said. Huxley must be concernedwith teaching competence and must have a deep awareness of the world and its problems. "We must be concerned not only with knowledge, but understanding. Not only understanding, but awareness and commitment," he said. In addition, Huxley needs to be "engaged extensively in research" in thefuture, both in social sciences and physical sciences. And, it must discover how to serve this region."Our future depends on convincing the people of Bellingham, Whatcom County, NorthwestWashington and the Pacific Northwest that Huxley College and Western Washington University isimportant because we can serve," he said. "We can help solve problems. We can provideinformation. We can train talented young people. We have to become known more and more, betterand better, for those things. We've made a good start, but it's only a start." He said this all describesmuch of Huxley today, but he wants "more of it, on a grander scale, better supported, betterrecognized. And I want, of course, stability. I want us to reach a point where budgets aren't beingcut every week and enrollment isn't falling and we're concerned with how many faculty at Western aregoing to be cut." The building of competence and unquestioned quality will guarantee success and thefuture of Huxley College, he said. Bradley fights housing policy By PAT BULMER Western's practice of prohibiting unmarried men and women from sharing university apartments is being challenged by a senior business administration/computer science major. Currently, Western has no written policy on whethermen and women may share apartments, but George Bradley said his interest is in changing the practice, not necessarily having a new practice put into writing. Tomorrow, for the third week in a row, Bradley willpresent his case to the Committee on Housing and Dining. No matter what it decides, the committeeplans to recommend a policy to be considered by the University Services Council. Bradley firstconfronted the committee May 4. He cited several laws that ban discrimination based on marital status,saying Western's current practice was illegal. However, Director of University Residences Keith Guyshowed Bradley a law that exempts universities from laws Bradley cited. Universities are allowed to "limit the use of dormitories, residence halls or other student housing to persons of one sex or to makedistinctions on the basis of marital or family status." Despite the legality of Western's apartmentpractices, committee members realized a written policy was needed. But it wasn't clear what type ofpolicy they should write. Scott Small, a student present with Bradley that day, pointed out that men andwomen may live together for "convenience" reasons, although he said it's not the university's business toknow why people live together. He wondered why married couples could live in apartments whileunmarried couples couldn't. "It comes down to either you're going to discriminate or you're not," he said.Guy said he was concerned abut parent and community reaction to a permissive policy and noted hispersonal opposition to changing the current practice. Bradley explained that men and women alreadylive together when one of them doesn't pay rent. Thus, the need for a stricter visitation policy also wasbrought up by some committee members, although they later rejected one that would prohibit guests from staying more than three days. After the Housing and Dining Committee's meeting of May 4 and beforeits meeting of last Wednesday, Bradley elaborated on his desire for a more permissive practice. He saidhe and a potential roommate need two more roommates to live in a Birnam Wood apartment next year.He wondered why the. other two couldn't be women. Bradley said he is arguing a case of "individualrights." "People in apartments are old enough to take care of themselves," he said, advising that ifWestern is concerned about parent and community reaction it could adopt a rule used at other schoolsthat prohibits freshmen from living in apartments. "Universities are supposed to be strongholds of freethought," Bradley said, but "they're making it inconvenient for people who don't follow their Victorianethics." He noted that unmarried men and women live together off campus and that banning such apractice on campus merely will force more students to seek off-campus housing. Wednesday, thecommittee discussed the issue again. Kay Rich, associate director for residence life, reported commonpractice doesn't allow unmarried men and women to share university apartments. She said, however,Guy's concern about public relations wasn't the main reason other state universities ban unmarriedcohabitation. Some schools thought it was against the law for unmarried people to live together inuniversity housing, although it isn't, Rich said. Other schools were concerned that couples might breakup during the course of the year. She said the only Washington school that permits unmarried couples in its apartments, The Evergreen State College, requires couples sign a year-long lease. The issue ofhomosexuality and heterosexuality also was mentioned. Rich said that by allowing only people of onesex to share an apartment, Western can be seen as encouraging homosexual, but not heterosexualrelationships. Mary Conlin, Inter-hall Council president, and Kari Wolfe, IHC representative to theAssociated Students Board of Directors, reported what they perceived student reaction to be. Conlin said a lot of students saw no problem with cohabitation in apartments. Wolfe said students thought thepractice would allow Western's apartments to better compete with off-campus housing in attractingstudents. Students realize a public relations problem would exist, Wolfe said. Clay Crofton, anotherstudent on the committee, said the committee should acknowledge the conservative viewpoint oncampus. He proposed the three-day visitation policy. Tomorrow, Guy and Bradley are expected topresent their proposals for an apartment policy. The debate will then continue.

A recent study shows thatliberal arts graduates perform well in their occupationsâ€”if they can get hired. According to an articlein USA Today, a recent American Telephone and Telegraph study concluded that liberal artsgraduates are promoted faster and have more leadership roles than technical graduates, which adds to the paradox. AT T researchers studied 766 managers in 10 firms ranging from 1,500 to 150,000employees. Bob Thirsk of the Career Planning and Placement Center said a liberal arts education isflexible and graduates have the ability to adapt. Liberal arts majors have more going for themselves than they realize, he said. If they get more marketable backgrounds, such as a few courses in business,accounting or computer science, they can accelerate their chances. A degree isn't marketable,graduates themselves are, Thirsk said. John Smith of J.R. Smith Employment Consultants, in theHerald Building, said, "I'm bullish on a liberal arts background." Skills are changing all the time, hesaid. Liberal arts majors seem to be able to use academic skills to adapt and master differenttechnologies. The liberal arts major has the edge, he said. A technical major's' horizons are somewhatlimited. Samara Underwood, of the Acme Employment Agency, 4200 Meridian Guide, however, said the type of education employers desire depends on the job. For executive positions, a business degreeusually helps because experience and training are important. Fairhaven Dean Dan Lamer said a liberalarts major gives students a "broader idea of the arena of knowledge of human action." Some aspectsof the AT T survey have been known for a long time, he said. At the Harvard business school, forinstance, students are broadly trained. If students "can only do one thing, they will only do onething," he said. Fairhaven students are flexible and can adapt to changes in the job market. Critical,evaluative and creative thinking all explicity are required at Fairhaven, which is shaped specifically tocultivate them, Lamer said. Only about 700 students have graduated from Fairhaven since its inceptionin 1972, but it's "quite a list," he said. Fairhaven graduates have careers in government, business andindustry, education, management and administration, communications, research and writing, fine and performing arts, community service, counseling and health, dentistry, medicine, law and the ministry.Fairhaven graduates receive a liberal arts education with exactly those skills that the AT T survey foundwere required for success in the job market, Lamer said. Speakers explore sexual harassment NEWSNOTES By SHELLEY McKEDY Sexual harassment of students increasingly is a visible problem atWestern. Of female students, 10 to 20 percent are subjected to it, according to Donna Langston,Women's Center director. Langston spoke at Saturday's Sexual Harassment Seminar at Western.Female lawyers, doctors and administrators spoke about the problems, dimensions and solutions ofsexual harassment. Among the speakers were attorney Sheila McKinnon, attorney Carolyn Carnes,with the Equal Employment Opportunity Council, and Lois Spratlen, University of WashingtonOmbudsman for Sexual Harassmentâ€”all with the Northwest Women's Law Center in Seattle. Thefeatured speaker was Fairhaven economy and social theory professor Constance Faulkner, who wasinvolved in spearheading Western's sexual harassment policy. The policy, the first dealing withsexual harassment at Western, was adopted last January. Faulkner's talk "Ideological Roots of Unequal Power," illuminated sexual harassment as a symptom of sexism or the socially endowed unequalpower of men and women. "Americans internalize these values," she said. While male dominance isstrong, "reverse power situations (women sexually harassing men) are virtually impossible." Racism also reinforces sexism. Between Western's black and white faculty, Faulkner said, students look"automatically" to the white male for authority. Langston said sexual harassment includes sexualinnuendoes, suggestive comments, jokes about sex or gender-specific traits, threats, leering,whistling and obscene gestures. Forms of physical harassment cited were touching, pinching, brushingthe body, coerced sexual intercourse and assault. The effects of such abuse on women at school aswell as in the workplace include guilt, doubt, low morale, low productivity and humiliation. With about 40 people in attendance, Langston said, "I think one of the most important things that happened today was the educational benefit of sexual harassment to the community." She said she also was pleased menattended, saying it's important for men to take a stand against sexual harassment and learn theimportance of not committing it. Langston said that in today's world, "It's not enough to be male andsensitive (to stop sexual harassment)â€”men need to take a step further." However, the most importantobjective of the seminar was "to encourage women who face harassment to seek support andremedyâ€”that they're not isolated," and shouldn't feel emba-rassed, humiliated or guilty, Langstonsaid. Sexual harassment is "really a problem. It's for real." Myths hide harassment The information inthis article is from "Sexual Harassment in the Workplace," published by the Alliance Against SexualCoecion, an excerpt in "The Project on the Status and Education of Women." Myth â€” Sexualharassment affects only a few women. Factâ€”Surveys have documented the widespread nature ofsexual harassment. In one study, 88 percent of the respondents said they had experienced one or moreforms of unwanted sexual advances on the job. Mythâ€”Se?cual harassment is rare on collegecampuses. Factâ€”Women have only recently begun to talk about the long-hidden problem of sexualharassment of students, staff and faculty. Fear of ridicule, a sense of hopelessness about the problemand a feeling that it's a "personal" dilemma have kept the problem concealed. Mythâ€”If a woman reallywants to discourage unwanted sepcual attention, she can do so. If she's sexually harassed, she musthave asked for it. Factâ€”Many men believe a women's "no" is really "yes," and therefore do not accepther refusal. Also, when a man is in a position of power, such as employer or teacher, the women may be coerced or feel forced to submit. Mythâ€”Most charges of sexual harassment are false. Women use these charges as a way of "getting back" at a man whom they are angry at. Factâ€”Women who openly charge harassment often are not believed, may be ridiculed, may lose their job, be given a bad grade or be mistreated in some other way. Women have little to gain from false charges.

J ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 4 ---------- 4/Western Front OPINION Tuesday, May 17,1983 FRONT LINE AS election valid Board smooths ego,students will suffer The Associated Students Board of Directors last night rejected an invalidation appealto the students detriment. Four compiaiius nave oeen filed against the AS Election Board. One was filedby Don Hall, a night student, who was not informed of how to obtain absentee ballots and therefore wasunable to vote. Another complaint was filed by AS Vice President for External Affairs Leonard Brevik,because a student had gone to vote at 9 a.m. on election day and the poll in Red Square had not yetopened. Brevik filed another complaint after h e went to the polling station in Red Square and it h ad runout of ballots before 11 a.m. Brevik's third complaint said the results released Thursday night were notthe same as the results posted the next morning. In the election bylaws, students specifically areguaranteed the right to vote at the designated times and places a nd through absentee ballots. In ournation and on our campus, if a voter cannot submit his or her choice, the race becomes invalid. Thequestion of how many were prevented need not be raised. The bylaws should not become empty words.The AS loyalties were passionately divided. Some student leaders opted for a passive stance. They weretired. The elections had gone on a nd on. They did not want these evident flaws in the code to createcontroversy. Others fought for a invalidation of this year's run-off. They were called "poor losers.'' But thefact remains the elections were not fair. More important than political loyalties and bruised egos arestudent rights. The human services students, billed a "special interest group" by one election boardofficial, deserve the right to submit absentee ballots. The AS board decided the election's validity lastnight. They chose with their egos, not with their minds. The Front condemns the board's choice.Western: no respect The state capital construction budget that passed out of the Senate Ways andMeans Committee, since amended, demonstrated once again that Western is the Rodney Dan-gerfield of Washington's four-year universities. The Senate Ways and Means Committee approved capital budgetsfor each of the four-year schools higher than the level approved by the Houseâ€”except Western. TheCommittee's budget contained money for a major building project for every four-year schoolâ€”exceptWestern. This glaring omission was amended once the budget reached the floor. Sens. Lowell Peterson(D-Concrete) and H.A. "Barney'' Goltz (D-Bellingham) worked to put a $570,000 appropriation fordesigning an addition to the Art/Technology building in the budget. The capital construction budget only is the latest slap in Western's face. Some have been relatively light, such as the Council for Post-Secondary Education's statificaition enrollment plan. That plan would have tagged Western as an inferiorschool to the Univerity of Washington, Washington State University and The Evergreen State College.Some have been crushing blows. Gov. John Spellman proposed a budget that would fund Western at$1,000 less per student than the next lowest funded school. The operating budget passed by the Senatewould lower Western's instructional-faculty staffing level from 71.9 percent of formula to 70 percent offormula. Western would be the only school receiving a reduction. It's about time the Legislature quitmaking Western play the straight man in its comedy routine.

DIM BULB Bellingham vs. 'Boringham' It may not be home, but.Bellingham is many things to different people. For students transported from Omak or Roy, the townseems a teeming metropolis, a liberal outpost, a cultural mecca. For those uprooted from Bellevueor Tacoma, "Boringham" may be something to escape as soon and as frequently as possible. Butwhether Whatcom County's largest town is "Dullsville" or a four-year holiday camp, few studentsconsider Bellingham "home." Omak may have been left three years and 200 miles behind, but home iswhere mom is, and Bellingham remains a place to scoop up a degree and a spouse and split. ^ We siton our hill, with the town along its port, and rarely the twain shall meet. Even with this kind of distancethe imported studejit picks up a few of the town's nuances, like which stores, sell the cheapest beer,and the parks that stay open the latest. We adjust to the fact that one cop appears on the road for every Gordon Weeks features editor three inhabitants on a Saturday night. Of course, many of the localsgladly welcome the young out-of-towners with palms extended. For homeowners, any rathole is rentable, as many students know. Bellingham's pizza delivery service single-handedly is kept alive byresidence hall students. It's difficult to imagine Bellingham life through the eyes of a non-student,particularly because-many of us know so few. Being a local high schooler might be a bit awkward.Western looms above them on the hill, close, but perhaps unapproachable for financial, academic or personal reasons. And what do we assume we know about Bellingham's teenagers? One, they seem to spend every Friday night hangin' out at Herfys and two, they'll probably end up in the'fishing industry. Of course this is a terrible oversimplification, and no doubt a home-grown student who sees us as hit-and-run invaders from the north,' south and east will take offense, and rightly so. Western students fromBellingham are in the strangest position; one remarked he felt like a stranger in his own town. Being a participant in both communities must be difficult, because few people have insight on both. None ofthis would be much of a problem in a cow-town like Pullman because it's merely a little strip owing itsexistence to Washington State University. Bellingham and Western complement each other, andstudents, one fifth of the town's population, should try to understand its college's environment more.Antagonism at Fisher Fountain Nothing new to Christians People of God have been persecuted fortheir beliefs as long as man has graced the face of the earth. In the Old Testament these people werethe Israelites. In the New Testament, under the new covenant, God chose to offer His grace to everyoneand sent His Son as atonement for the world's sins â€” thus the beginning of Christianity andsubsequently, Christians. The Israelites consistently defeated large armies of enemies, tumbled citywalls and escaped oppression as Egyptian slaves. Christians were stoned to death, beaten and robbed,their Savior was nailed to a cross and left to die. But like God's miraculous parting of the Red Sea forMoses, Jesus Christ rose triumphant from the grave. Persecution has done little to stop theperpetuation of Christianity. Our country was founded largely by persons escaping religiousoppression, our pledge of allegiance is "to one nation under God . . .". It seems ironic then that suchpersecution would occur at all. But it does, it exists. A visit to Fisher Fountain between 8:50 and 9:00any Friday morning will alleviate any doubts. Christians have been gathering at the heart of Western'scampus to sing songs of worship and praise every weekday for the past 12 years. Until about five weeks ago they faced no opposition greater than a.curious glance or an occasional heckle from spectators.Led by guitarist Andy Veit, a Western student, a conglomeration of students have gathered to rock inthe weekend with an array of new wave music. Veit and his followers have chosen, out of five eight-hourdays, to meet the same ten minutes and only a few feet to the east of the Christians. Although Veitclaims he and his friends, who spearheaded the "alternative to having Christianity shoved down (their)throat,'' are Christians and disclaim any antagonistic motives, his antics leave room for speculation tothe contrary. While the secular musicians bring on their amplifiers and sometimes a whole string ofguitarists, the Christians have continued to gather, in the face of adversity, and offer words ofencouragement to each other as well as to their counterparts across the waters of Fisher Fountain. Last Friday, Eric Olsen, an intern from Campus Christian Fellowship and one of two guitar plavers for theChristians, read i the following from Luke 6:27-28: "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, dogood to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." Just a small part of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, this is a passage that those Christians who sing at the fountainhave chosen to live by. â€¢ See FOUNTAIN/page 5 ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, May 17,1983 Western Front/5 We're numb to the pain Cruelty and injustices can't penetrateAmerica Lauri Ann Reed opinion editor / read the news today, oh boy. "A Day in the Life," Lennon McCartney Sometimes, it's enough to make you cry. Once upon a day, the big news was theacquistion of a new general store. Now, the filler thrown into the bottom of the back page of the lateissue of the Hometown Herald describes in jarring detail the rape and assault of a 12-year-old girl. Thepublicâ€”no, the journalists and the publicâ€”have become so in-tune with violence and oppression, we've taken it under our wing, nurtured it as our child and catered to it with respect. Tragedy is part of oureveryday newspaper and everyday cup of coffee that we collectively drink every morning. It has lost itsability to shock us. We just have nothing left to shock us. Today, I read the paper: just an act in myeveryday life. First I read about an Ohio teenager who was decapitated. My fellow professionals placeit on the bottom of the page with a minute and understated headline. I wondered if the small blurb wasused as a last minute filler. I hoped it was put in a hidden position because the layout artists thought the small and stoic report was tragic. Then I saw the current story about the youth who killed his father outof pure desperation. He had been suffering for so very long, he felt he had a mission to end his dad's life.The story couldn't touch me, though. It hadn't happened to me. I saw stories about the drama all around us, every day; Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, herpes, cancer. We see the storiesseparately, day after day. We accept them. But, Lord, please, I'll read them and smile sympathetically; just don't let them touch any of my kin. George Shultz was applauded, respected, exalted for his lackof emotion. President Reagan gushed "George Shultz is the only man who can make rocket attack ,boring." Somehow, I feel deep inside that in these tragic times we really don't need a man who isunruffled by defensive and offensive war. The most shocking to me, the article that brought me out ofthis paralyzed fear of the world's horror, was the recent Mother Jones article on Adam Hoshchild's visit to El Salvador. I opened the magazine to the article and instantly was shocked and hurt by agraphic picture of three Salvadoran , rebelsâ€”decapitated. I always had thought we all were numb,that we saw pain and horror all around us and lightly skipped over it to talk about our classes. I alwayshad thought nothing in this age of sadness and pain could get through the exterior. The picture did.What we have to do is remember during every waking hour that things will become gradually worse andwe will watch and listen and smile discreetly over our plate of chicken if we don't look and do now. Itis so tragically easy to turn off the outside world. You must hide and close your eyes from the hurt. But,our society has reached the point when the sadness is everywhere. It's at Western where ConnieFaulkner pleads to the faculty Senate not to pass a Reduction-in- Force proposal. It's at Western wherethe question of an escort service becomes a question of money and rhetoric. It's at Western where we see announcements about the anti-apartheid and CISPES groups.and murmur politely before turningour heads. â€¢ Maybe a day will come when looking at the paper will make everyone cry for the victimsand go out and do something to help. Maybe it's time for everyone to cry. Fair apartment policy needed Students have individual rights in battle against housing system Shelley McKedy copy editor When anindividual enters college, four years later he is assumed to emerge a changed person â€” highermorals, a broader base of knowledge, greater self-esteem, and most importantly, to be able to thinkindependently in a clear and rational manner. Western's housing system has a more limited scope ofthis evolution. Fountain battle â€¢ FOUNTAIN, from page 4 "I see it as a distraction, but not a realthreat," Kris DeBruin, second of the two guitar players for the Christians, said. "Our power, joy andcommitment is at a different level." "I've been praying about how to respond in love," Olsen said. "Wehave a right to exercise our freedom to worship in Red Square. I've listened to him (Veit), but haven'ttaken the time to talk to him. I'm hesitant about being antagonistic. "It's a disturbance â€” his idea isthat he is offering an option. I question if it's an option." Veit's justification of offering an alternative tobeing force-fed Christianity doesn't hold much water. No Christians are attacking bystanders with hell,fire and brimstone evangelism at morning singing. No students walking between classes have beenchained and forced to listen to the words of the songs. While the Christians hope to affect positivelythose who do listen to what they sing, their communication is on a vertical, rather than horizontalplane. It's currently prohibiting unmarried women and men from sharing university apartments. Whileinitially a service to students, the system seems to have bartered for more power in its role as asovereign, surrogate mother. Such selective discrimination, as to dictate roommates and potentialfriends, is, of course, in the best interest of Western's students. It promotes people's ability to thinkfor themselves and make decisions that will best suit their needs, some administrators reason. Ifstudents who usually are old enough to vote by the time they attend college are supposed to be able tomake their own decisions, then why not let them? The concern that rampant, deteriorating morals would escalate should be calmed by knowing that people are going to pursue their own happiness no matterthe policy passed and no way to enforce such Old World values exists. Thus, the look-the-other-waysyndrome, practiced with the widespread use of drugs and alcohol by minors throughout the residencehalls and. apartments, is explained. The rules to this balJgame are strict only in words â€” notexamples of enforcements. Many students live together for convenience reasons. Barring the freedom of choice in roommates is detrimental to many financially strapped students who might otherwise be ableto live better or even attend college. Men and women students live together off campus. Banning suchpractices at Western only widens the bridge of students seeking housing accommodations elsewherethan the naive housing system. Finally, "is it the university's business to coax this studentmetamorphosis to the degree of limiting adult housing on the basis of gender? I think not, especially in light of Western's mission, as stated in the general catalog, to be one which "nurtures bothindividual development and a free and humane society." Students are entitled to privacy and, if for noother reason than this, should be allowed to deliberate in their own minds to seek what's best forthemselves. To discriminate on basis of marital status is, at the very least, an infringement on students'personal lives, not to mention the traditional institution of marriage it encourages, which allegedly isnot the role of a university â€” the "stronghold of free thought." Whatever recommendation the Committee on Housing and Dining makes regarding Western's future apartment policy, let it bear in mind that the decision made will have far reaching implications when it's finally resolved.

Thedefeated candidates emerging from the scramble for their chosen positions agree it was a learningexperience. For the most part, they also have future political ambitions and political memories not soonforgotten. Vice president for Internal Affairs candidate, Gary Garrett said "I had anticipated it (losing), so it was not a great surprise," which seemed to be the general a t t i t u d e shared by the candidates.Garrett said he thought he lost for many reasons, the first being, "the fact Ron (Bensley) beingcurrently in the AS had the chance to do favors for people that won him endorsements from the Inter-hall Council." Also, Garrett said Bens-ley's previous exposure to the Front staff helped him gain theirendorsement. "The unfounded charges brought by Ron Bensley, coupled with the fact that the results of the election board hearing that he had no complaint, were not nublicized until after the. election,"Garrett said. "The article in the Front regarding the election should not have been printed until after the election board hearing, since the article came out the day before the election. "I have no badfeelings because I have learned about how some people are and after seeing the methods employed byBensley, events came as no surprise. I believe that in this case, Ron Bensley would do very well in thepolitical system in the U.S." When Garrett was asked if he learned from running for an office he said,"Yes, I learned that wanting to do what you think best for constituents does not matter in politics.Instead, if one wants to be elected, the game must be played according to the rules ofjmimmmmmmmmmmsamk*mimmmjmm others." Politcal science and Huxley major Dave McFaddenhad different sentiments in retrospect of his race for president. While he expected to lose, he said, as the time of election results approached, "I found that I hadn't put enough effort into it and I didn't have abase of support such as the Front or the IHC." Citing reasons for defeat, McFadden said, "First of all,I didn't go out and campaign hard enough. I think of the three candidates, I knew the most about thejob and its frustrations. "I just think it's kind of poor that there has to be a lot of complaining. Youknow, reports of posters being torn down, overexpendituresâ€”a variety of things the election board hasto deal with. There's just a lot of name-calling and mudslinging. That's sad. "I don't know if thepresidential candidates really know what they're getting into. I don't doubt their desires or the fact that they'll work hard, but I just hope that they aren't overwhelmed by all the little tasks and general bullshitthe president has to undertake." "I learned what to do in a campaign and not do. I need to work harder and I need to get an established base of support...or be creative and make up a base of support suchas making up a party name and relate it to a certain sector of campus." He said being creative andworking harder and getting people to work for him will be his top priority if he runs for office again,along with getting more students involved in the process. Also, "If I run again, I would like to establish abetter reputation with the Western Front and work harder to get their endorsement." Vice president forActivities candidate Mark Marlow said, "When I first saw the final figures I was very disappointed andrather humiliated that I lost by â€¢ H H H H H B M I i M H W l i i a a s i l l t t MAKE A MAJORDECISION THIS SPRING â€¢ I I c o a. o o I I Open Mike Thursday 8:00 p.m. KEGS to goSpecial $29.19 With Coupon â€” Expires 5-27-83 \^fc BEECH HOUSE PUB X 113 E.

Later, that emotion changed to anger that I had lost. I should have won. I reallywanted to win and I still feel that I'm the best candidate for the position. I wish there was somehow Icould get another chance." Marlow, too, found flaws in his campaigning methods. "I didn't run a goodenough campaignâ€”I didn't go out to be popular. I tried to expose errors in my opponent's campaign. Ididn't spend enough time going out and meeting people. All these wonderful ideas are coming to meafter the election." Marlow said while he "didn't want to place any blame," he observed manyshortcomings in the way the elections were handled. "I feel that especially the lower positions don't getenough attention. There's not enough interaction between students and people(campaigning)...Not enough coverage in media later in the election. I don't like the IHC getting such alarge voice when really perhaps they don't deserve it. I don't see them as that important agroupâ€”they have some internal structural problems. "I did learn that it's a lot more of a popularitycontest than it is a test of qualifications," Marlow said. George Sidles, candidate for vice president ofAcademic Affairs, agreed also that his defeat came as no surprise. "I figured losing would just about beinevitable following the Front's negative endorsement." Other reasons for the defeat, Sidles said, included his opponent Soren Ryherd's living in the residence halls, Ryherd's sister living in the residence hallsand doing "a very good job of mobilizing the dorm vote." Sidles, too, will be involved in the AS nextyear, he said, probably on the program council, the Washington Student Lobby or the AS Board ofDirectors; however, "It's too early to say at this point. I have a serious interest in student government."Sidles also observed flaws in the election process. "The way things came down, everything seemed alittle forced and a little rushed. It didn't run smoothly and it was difficult for us candidates to plan ourinvolvement." For example, Sidles said, the deadlines for preparations were always very abrupt. Later he said, "I would like to have seen more Front coverage. I got the feeling that among the editorial boardthere was kind of a condescending view of student governmentâ€”a holier-than-thou attitude." "I didn'trun for the glory of winning. I ran for the opportunity to work. In losing in some ways it's almost a relief...If you win then you have to live up to the expectations you've garned." Sidles said he's not the "bitter-feeling type," and committed himself to supporting Ryherd next year. Secretary/treasurer candidateSteve Graham said he, too, was expecting defeat. "I was glad because at least it was over. I was veryafraid of a run-off." Reasons for that defeat Graham said were his absence from Western since 1979. "Isaid all the way through campaigning that I was not a politician and I think I proved it. I don't even want to be a politician. I'm an administrator." Graham was quick to point out some flaws in the process. "Bythe time position no. 6 spoke at the forums no one was there...Secondly, Western Front's reporting orlack of because there was a lack of investigation on their behalf of things that went down. "They neededan objective statement on the candidates and the effects of the programs they v advocated. I feel theylacked the who, what, why, where and how of basic journalism." Learning disabilities discussed Friday By CLAIRE SWEDBERG The Tutorial Center will host an all-day presentation Friday, in the VikingUnion Lounge, for Western's first Learning Disabilities Awareness Day. Speakers will discuss learning disabilities at the grade school, high school and university level, and how to cope with learning andlanguage disabilities. Learning Disabled Coordinator Dorothy Crow said two percent of the students atWestern have a learning disability and the Tutorial Center aids these students. Many of thesestudents have difficulty with written or multiple choice exams. In such a case an oral exam can be givenby the professor or the Tutorial Center. "We want to stress that these students are as bright asanyone," Crow said. "We are merely helping students cope with university work." A person with alearning disability has a disorder of one or more of the mental processes involving an understanding ofthe language, written or spoken, which may result in difficulty with listening, thinking or reading. Thisdoesn't include people with visual or hearing handicaps, or mental retardation. The Tutorial Center wantsto have students and faculty at the presentation to increase public awareness of what having alearning disability means. The presentation begins with coffee at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m.Prominent banker wishes to help put 10,000 students through college.

We 're sacrificing personal ambition for the whole. We take class overloads, act asprogram advisers, do graduate and committee work; people come here knowing about some of us,wanting to learn from us. After all of that, to not have any consideration in return is a slap in the face." -Charles Fo?c political science professor Chuck and Siegrun Fox have one and two-fifths job betweenthem. Next year, they only will have one-half. The one slot the two public policy and administrationinstructors share has been strung along in recent years by their fellow colleague's effort to shift summerhours to keep them. "In order to keep them on, our faculty met and did a summer shift," professorMaurice Foisy of the political science department said. "That essentially means we took cuts in hoursand a $2,000 to $4,000 a year cut in pay. "We will do summer shift again for them this year," Foisycontinued. "We hoped these problems in higher education are temporary and that we can somehow keep our program together. There's been a lot of pulling together." Foisy said his fellow professors'commitment to teaching is evident in the quality and the amount of work they take. "They've alwaystaught more than their share," he said. "They're really good people and they work for the students.We're getting double out of them. They're just excellent academically. But, while the commitment isthere, the recognition isn't." Political science student Jon Sitkin said Chuck Fox "encouragesindependent thought." "He's a very high-quality professor. Students respect him," Sitkin said."Siegrun is an excellent teacher," political science student Molly St. Germain said. "She teaches in away where you have to have the research behind you. She teaches you how to write and defend yourarguments. Cutting the Foxes will hurt everyone. It's fine to build up other departments but it'sreally frustrating. Professors have to keep their education going so we can keep our's going; the Foxesdo that." The objects of all this effusive praise sit in their Highland Drive home with their son, Harold, aprecocious and, evidently, intelligent four-year-old. With their jobs being threatened, they are wary. "Wewere originally in the job-sharing business. It was supposed to be the way of the future," Chuck said."When we came, we thought we were acting in a very progressive way," Siegrun said. "Now we're beinghurt for being pioneers, for leading a new lifestyle." Chuck is the adviser for the public policy andadministration program in the department and Siegrun supervises the internship program and researchmethods instruction. They both teach public policy and introductory classes. In order to continue to getMedical Blue Cross, one of the couple must have at least half a job. While Siegrun may look next yearfor some part-time work elsewhere, Chuck said he feels compelled to stay and fulfill the half-timerequirement. "All of the political science professors are doing things themselves now...typing, xeroxing,"Siegrun said. "At first they tried to cut in marginal areas. Now, they have to go after faculty. Theadministrators are just doing what the legislators are making them do." Chuck said the administration ofPaul Olscamp, former university president, tried to keep a certain percentage of each department non-tenure-tracked; now a new generation of teachers don't have the right to apply for tenure.

We have a lot of community contacts.It's a shame that the university should be losing that. You do a good job and expect to settle down here," he said. Chuck said they always have had the support of the department in their struggle. "Politicalscience is the only department that has had to shift its summer hours twice," he said. Many people may remember Chuck Fox from his ill-fated legislative campaign last fall against Rep. Pat McMullen of the40th legislative district. "The office would have given me a part-time job in the legislature," he said. "Iwould consider running again but the demographics of the 40th district are against the Bellinghamcandidate," he said. "I'm disappointed with this legislature," he continued. "People in this state workedvery hard to elect a democratic legislature so we could have stability, consistency in higher education.The campaign rhetoric of last fall dealt with stable higher education. We have been through the worstright-wing legislatures in the recent years and suffered cuts, but this is our worst year for cuts." Siegrunsaid the planning process for a new faculty Reductions-in-Force has begun. Departments all have theirvarious scenarios ready for what to cut when they get the legislative nod. "We're living in a constantbattleground," Chuck said. "The administration is limited, stuck between a rock and a hard place.They can cut entire programs or cut evenly across departments." "There is always a problem that youretain those who have been here for a long time," Chuck said. "Not that age is equated with non-excellence. You can see their point of view, too. So, you cut the younger faculty without tenure." Chucksaid that while tenur ? to protect academic freedom is necessary, "we would just like a chance to get it.". "There was a whole generation of people who haven't had a chance to compete for tenure," he said."One-third of classes taught in this country are taught by professors with PhDs and no tenure. There is a two-class system. That's the injustice." Siegrun said that non-tenured professors don't getsabbaticals or research money. "The fringe benefits are lacking," she said. "You don't dare leave. Yourjob will be gone," Chuck said. "So this, in turn, hurts your publishing record and your publishing record gets you tenure." "When I was campaigning, it gave me a different view of what tough times are reallylike. We haven't even started on our unemployment. We have at least another two years to live," Chuckexclaimed. While Chuck would like to keep a full-time job at Western, Siegrun wants only part-timebecause of their son. "Political science has always had enough students," Chuck explained. "I go to aclass and it's filled up. The students seem to be learning, listening. But, somehow, it's not allowed togo on," he said. Siegrun, from Germany, is soft-spoken ana understanding and has traveled throughoutthe Soviet Union, Europe and India. She has a masters in Regional Planning from Munich University.She interned in Czechoslavakia. She's been offered regional planning jobs in Europe worth much morethan her part-time job in Bellingham. Yet, she stays. Siegrun said talented professors throughout theuniversity now are threatened with the new RIF. ' 'We've developed a new class of migrant workers ineducation," Chuck said. "It doesn't lookgood for a long time," he reflected. "If you can just forget aboutthe legislature and forget about the money difficulties and go to work every day, it's a great place towork." "If I have one message to portray to the powers that be, it would be, try to figure out a way tokeep us! We're good and we're loyal," Chuck added. With her son Harold tugging on her shoulders,Siegrun sighed and looked out to the Bellingham Bay. "If nothing else, looking out on the water is sogood for thinking," she said. "When we came, we thought we were acting in a very progressive way,"Siegrun Fox said. "Now we're being hurt for being pioneers, for leading a new lifestyle." ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 8 ---------- 8/Western Front SPORTS Tuesday, May 17,1983 Vikings sweep districts, coaches honored Women win first district title Jennifer Schwartz, Wendy Malich and Deborah Ocken hurdled to a 3-2-1 Viking sweepin the 100 meter h;urdles.

Western Front/9 Golfers off to Nationals By STEVE RUPP For the third time infour years Western's golf team is headed for the NAIA National Tournament. This year the tournamentwill be June 7-10 in Fort Worth, Texas. Western won the District I title in 1980 and 1981, but lost toCentral Washington University last year in the first hole of a sudden death playoff Sudden deathplayed a role in this year's district tourney, but rather than deciding which team won the title, it decidedwhich golfer earned medalist honors. After 36 holes, Viking Greg Ashby and Pacific LutheranUniversity's Jeff Clare were tied with 147. Both golfers picked up pars on the first sudden death hole.Ashby claimed the top district spot on the next hole, shooting a bogey while Clare double-bogeyed. As a team, the Vikings finished seven strokes ahead of PLU. The University of Puget Sound, defendingdistrict champion Central and host Whitman College rounded out the field. Ashby and his teammates, Brian Bloom, Brien Flannigan, Rick Harris and John Sherman are now headed for Fort Worth arid headcoach Bill Westphal couldn't be happier. "The guys came together as a team," he said. "It's really fun to win down there." Ashby echoed his coach's feelings, ' 'It feels really great," he said. "My teammatesspurred me on, I didn't want to blow it." The Vikings started slow this season because they weren't sure they were even going to have a team, Ashby said. He credited their strong finish to the amount ofpractice the Vikings had near the end of the regular season. "We wanted it to happen that way," he said. "The last couple of' weeks before district." As for his first season as golf coach, Westphal said heenjoyed the way the team came together at the end. "It's a great sport to coach," Westphal said. "There is a lot less pressure than in basketball." Crew dominates cup race By DAN RAMSAY Led by avictorious men's varsity-eight boat, West-em's crew teams finished the season in Seattle at the PacificNorthwest Rowing Regatta on Green Lake. The Viking victory returned the LaFramboise Cup, whichsignifies the Northwest Small-college champion, to Western. It is Western's ninth LaFramboise Cupvictory in the last 11 years. Last year, the Vikings didn't compete because of a rule making the winnerineligible the following year, thus Western won't be in the cup race next year. The same men's varsity-eight boat raced in the Steward's Cup later in the day (Saturday). The Steward's Cup is an open event,unlike the Lafram-boise Cup. This time Western finished third. The University of Washington won the1,350-meter race and Brentwood College of Vancouver Island was second. In the women's open-eightcompetition, the Lake Washington Rowing Club outdistanced the pack to post an impressive victory.Western finished fourth in a strong field behind LWRC, Lakeside and the Vancouver Rowing Club. LWRCis mostly women hopefuls for the 1984 United States Olympic team. The women's frosh/novice-eightcaptured fourth behind UW, Seattle Pacific University and a second UW boat. They won their qualifyingheat. Other women finishes included a third place in the college-eight, the same eight who rowed in theopen-eight; a seventh place in the lightweight-eight and a third place in the flyweight-four. The men'slightweight-eight finished second behind Brentwood, but ahead of UW, always a satisfying feeling to allHusky rivals, men's Coach Fil Leanderson said. Last weeekend's weather was no major factor in theGreen Lake competition. Saturday was a little rainy and cold and Sunday was a bit nicer with some sunbreaks and smoother water, Leanderson said. The victorious men's varsity-eight will lose four seniors tograduation this year. They are Scott Winter, Marv Toland, Steve Bader and Eric Johnson. Winter,Toland and Bader were members of the 1981 LaFramboise Cup champions. One team member whorowed in the LaFramboise Cup race last year is junior Paul Kalina. Kalina was then a member of thePacific Lutheran University crew team that placed third and he was glad to be in the winning boat thisyear. "We did as well as we expected to do thisyear," he said. Not bad for a team that won it all. Thefrosh-eight settled for a sixth after qualifying in its heat with the fourth best time overall. Leandersonexplained that a seat jumped the slide track and casued a few problems for the frosh boat. Brentwoodwon the frosh-eight race. A fourth place by the men's junior varsity-eight and a sixth place by an alumniboat in the lightweight four composed the remaining Viking finishes. Both Leanderson and women'sCoach Ron Okura were pleased with their teams' seasons. Both said they thought Western has reasonto be proud of its crew teams, the class of the Northwest small-college teams.

Resume ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 10 ---------- 10/Western Front Tuesday, May 17,1983 Hansen tabs new assistant grid coaches By SETH PRESTON Three more assistant coaches have been named to Head Football Coach Paul Hansen's staff. GaryPatrick, a former starting offensive guard at Washington State University; Dave Chris-tensen, a formerUniversity of Washington gridder; and Rick Clark, an assistant coach at Wenatchee Valley CommunityCollege will join the grid ranks this spring. Hansen said that Patrick will handle the defensive line, Chris-tensen will run the scout team and Clark will coach the running backs. "I really don't know what hasbeen done in the past," Hansen said. "Since we have the people to do it, it makes sense." The threenew coaches join the current staff of Mark Hassart (offensive line), Steve Swanson (linebackers) and JayMills. Kevin Lusk, a former University of Oregon starting quarterback from Seattle's Tyee High Schooloriginally was slated to be the Vikings' quarterback coach. However, Hansen said Lusk wouldn't becoming to Western. "He got married a while back and he can't (financially) afford to come right now,"Hansen said. The assistant coaches share a $10,000 budget allotment. Hansen is searching for one ortwo more coaches to handle the defensive secondary, and the wide receivers or quarterbacks.Meanwhile, he has continued to recruit athletes for the upcoming season. "Now that major collegesare done recruiting, we're running into competition from junior colleges," Hansen said. "Athletes thathave visited Western are now being approached by the junior colleges," and may reconsider enrollinghere. Some potential recruits probably would be lost to competitors, Hansen said, "but not too many.We're going to be a very young team next year. We're going to have a good freshman class." Hansenexpected to be able to announce a list of recruits by the end of spring quarter. But because of theincreased competition, many athletes are waiting to make commitments. Hansen may not have acompleted list until mid-summer. Hansen has divided the state into seven districts to aid recruiting.The areas are from British Columbia to Everett; east of Seattle (including Bellevue, Issaquah andKent); a Seattle-Bremerton district; a Tacoma-Olympia area; a southern district (including Vancouverand Chehalis); a central area (including Yakima, Wenatchee and the Tri-Cities); and the Spokanearea. While recruiting, Hansen is overseeing the construction of a new weight training facility. Theformer outdoor handball courts behind the Ridgeway residence halls are being remodeled to house thevarsity training program. The new facility will provide about four times as much space as the one inCarver Gym, Hansen said. The courts are used as garbage receptacles. Remodeling will be completed in time for fall drills, which are scheduled to begin Sept. 1. Steeplechaser strives for Indy nationals BySHELLEY McKEDY Planning, patience and persistence are perhaps the most important elementsneeded to send a promising but proven athlete to a national competition. Clay Stenberg has hopes oftraveling more than 2,000 miles this June for a three-day track meet so he can splash his way through seven waterjumps, hurl over 28 three-feet-high, solid wood blocks for 2,000 meters in less than nineminutes. His event? The steeplechase. The 1983 business administration alumnus and holder ofWestern's steeplechase record (8:50:50.4), Stenberg is one of the "founding members" of a local trackclub â€” The Flying Iguanas. Stenberg also is an assistant track coach at Western, of whom Men'sTrack Coach Ralph Ver-nacchia said, "He's done a real good job. He's excellent."

Stenberg said the organization's plan to "go to the community to see if they'd donatestuff â€” and have a garage sale," is similar to fund-raising methods employed by some Westernathletic teams. While the U.S. steeplechase record stands at 8:15, Stenberg must shorten his act bythree minutes to qualify (8:47). At the Pre-classic, June 4 in Eugene, Ore., he said he will attempt tobreak his own record. Another obstacle on the road to victory is Stenberg's new-found employment,which is limiting his time for practice. While gaining seconds on the steeplechase has been Stenberg'smain goal for several years, he calls it his "crime passion." Concerning the Olympics, Stenberg said, "I'd like to commit , myself all the way through 1988. It doesn't look like I'm going to make '84. "I think what I'm most interested in is competing on a national class level." However, everything considered,Stenberg said, "I seem to be the closest to qualifying for nationals, but there also are some otherathletes with the ability to qualify." These fellow Iguanas are 400- meter intermediate hurdler JohnKotsogeanis, 1,500- and 5,000- meter runner Saul Kinderis, hammerthrowers Martin Rudy and RodRitter, and Blake Surina in the decathlon.

Program Commission Special Events ---------- Western Front - 1983 May 17 - Page 11 ---------- Tuesday, May 17,1983 ARTS Western Front/11 Student musicians perform own works By CHRISMCMILLAN , Music is an art that touches everyone. Yet, the opportunity to hear new music performedlive is lost to many people, buried within recording sessions and expensive concert tickets. But fiveWestern students will present six pieces of new music to the public at 8 p.m. Thursday in thePerforming Arts Center. Admission is free. Clive Pohl might be one of the more familiar composers to theaudience. He is a member of the local bands "Red Scare" and "New Offensive." His piece Thursday,night, a guitar solo entitled "Lissen," came from no inspirational idea, just the desire to create a small,contained piece of music. "Inspiration is not necessarily something that just comes," he said. "Youwork on a piece and sometimes it clicks and. sometimes it doesn't. This particular piece clicked prettyeasily." Pohl will perform on a steel guitar, and will use a "finger-style jazz" technique, unlike the morestructured, classical style. "Classical players grow their right fingernails long and strike the strings ina certain fashion," he said, imitating the method with his hands. "Finger-style isn't as structured." Pohlsaid he plans to graduate next year, but doesn't plan to make a career out of music composition."There's not enough money in it," he said. "You either have to be subsidized or get your incomesomewhere else. Because if you do it to make money, you end up doing it for other people and notyourself. That's compromise and that's something I've come to grips with recently, that I don't want towrite music commercially. I'll always write music, but it'll be for me, rather than the general public." What Pohl plans to do after graduation is travel to Europe, then continue with postgraduate work in music orsome other field. "It depends on how I'm feeling about the professional world," he said. Ron Averill,however, said he plans to make composing his career. A junior at Western, his "Quintet for Five B-FlatTrumpets" is one of the larger productions in the concert, with a prelude and three movements. Averillsaid it took him about a month to write the piece, following a suggestion from his trumpet teacher to write a trumpet quintet. Other than that, he said, he had no other symbolic theme. "I didn't have something inmind when I started," he said. "I didn't start saying 'OK, I'll show this through the piece.' I just wrote it asit came." Once the music was written, Averill said the sound of two of the movements inspired him when naming them. The first, "Opiate Won," dealt with the classification of famous music. "My thinkingbehind that was, first of all, when someone writes a great work and after they're dead, they'll becategorized as opuses. So that's sort of like Opus One." His second movement, "The 26th Element,"was named because the music reminded Averill of a train. "The 26th Element is ferriferous, what iron'smade of. After I finished writing it, it kind of made me think of'Iron Horse.' That phrase came to mind, sothat's what I called that. Part of the music just made me think of an old train." John Kilburn also startedwith a basic idea for his "Sextet for Two Oboes, Two Horns, Baritone and Tuba." A senior graduatingthis fall, he wanted to combine two different musical sounds into one piece. NEW Muac NEW MJSC"I was working with the particular idea of using brass and oboes in music, like a conversation betweentwo diverse elements. So I had an idea with the brass and an idea with the oboe and kind of worked itout." Kilburn said he started playing as a small child. He said he likes using music as an expression ofcreativity because of its indirectness. "Music to me is a really powerful means of communication.Whereas with a lot of other arts, like painting, are visual, music is more subtle. It happens through time.It's something you experience new everytime. It has a more subtle mystery to it than the other arts."Kilburn said he tried to bring that mystery into his piece by making it exciting on two different listeninglevels. "The concept was to be able to enjoy it on just a relaxing listening level or an intellectual level.There are things in it that will always surprise you. Everytime you listen to it you'll hear a relationship you didn't hear before. While in some pieces, you can listen to it once and you can be moved by itphysically, but, you know, you understand it completely." Kilburn said he's inspired by many differentthings, but he doesn't try to transfer them in his music. Instead, he uses broad ideas and tries tocombine several of them into his piece. â€¢ "Mainly/I think of philosophical ideas. Like, I might beinfluenced by the coming of spring and watch the day-to-day changes, but I won't necessarily try totransfer that musically, except for the fact that I'm moved in a particular way. "Sometimes you'll have anidea that will spur the musical construction or sometimes you'll have an idea you'll want to explorewith some musical instrument. I think one thing I try to do is blend synthesis of ideas rather thanbreaking things apart and having a bunch of separate ideas. I like bringing ideas together." Three otherstudent works will be presented Thursday. A recording of Jeff Beman's "Realization: Pictures in theFog," performed on an ARP synthesizer, will be played, along with a live performance of .

I decided I wasn't close enoughto music. The ideal solution would be to make some myself. Enlisting my little sister's cast-off JohnDenver acoustic and a semi-professional friend from San Francisco, I realized almost immediately I didn't want to learn, I wanted to play. Some friends and I had formed a concept band in high school. Aftermuch deliberation, we settled on the name "Beyond," with a science-fiction image and nova logo."Beyond" was two brothers on first and second lead guitar (they could haltingly play the chordprogression for "Smoke on the Water"), my best friend on bass (he had one in junior high school, buttraded it for a sleeping bag), a mutual girlfriend on keys (she could pick and sing a little) and myself ondrums (I figured anything they could fake, the drummer could fake better). We dreamed with the bestof them. We were six-month superstars, with the world at our feet. I still have a portfolio of costume,instrument, stage and album cover designs. We discussed song ideas and tested lyrics. But we nevereven attempted to rehearse â€” we never even had instruments. Somehow, I think that would havedestroyed the reality of the venture. (All right, I've no musical ability, but I'll bet I'd make a great hanger-on! If all those worthless zombies can get all the sex and drugs and rock and roll they can abuse, whycouldn't a real person, too? Why couldn't I write songs, or roadie, or manage, or assist, or â€” ?)Back to the quest. I watched musicians work, to feel music at its source. Eddie and the Atlan-tics,Romeo Void, Van Halen, a polka band in the Seattle Center â€” they all helped. And then, October 20 in the Kingdome: Benediction! The Who, live and in Seattle! And I'd paid $16.50 to be under the sameroof! The Who have my vote for Greatest Musical Force Ever, so I didn't go with an open, objectivemind. That would have been impossible, and silly besides. With the death of John Lennon, PeteTownshend was left as rock's thinking man. Townshend's legacy includes the single greatest line inall rockdom ("Hope I die before I get old." Crash, shriek, thumpa-thumpa blamtl, a religiously life-affirming album ("Who's Next"), and the work that will some day stand him beside Beethoven and Mozart("Quadrophenia"). The world forgave him his nose years ago. In Seattle that night, when the lights wentdown and the crowd went up, I was standing with some others in the bleachers behind the stage. Thenoise was like a tide, and then Pete Townshend was sprinting, alone, up the ramp and onto the stage, AND HE WAS ONLY 20 FEET AWAY! social force, I couldn't feel it from where I sat. (I know, I know,but can or should we separate reality from myth? Part of rock music's main 'hrust is confusing fantasywith reality â€” how many hours did you spend practicing your Plant and Page impressions in thebathroom mirror?) (Rock is a very Faustain business. Townshend, Jagger, Richards and the rest havelived the lives of 10 men and given greatly of themselves â€” and He didn't look at us. He probablycouldn't even hear our cries of "Pete, Pete!" He seemed focused, but relaxed, taking the stage with therest of the band suddenly fanning out behind him. They started slamming out "My Generation." On thequarter-mile sprint back to my seat, I was mostly an inch-and- a-half off the corridor floor. The contactwas a terrific rush, and of the two-and-a-half-hour show, those first few minutes were the best. I fullyexpected to break down at this concert, to come away tear-stained and drained. In the end, I was simply too damn far away. Though the band is an obvious legend and a former ATTENTION STUDENTS!! DOYOU NEED TELEPHONE SERVICE?

Note how many of them aren't anymore.) The otherband on that magic October 20 bill was the Clashâ€” who confirmed my suspicions they are the onlyband around today with the talent and vision to replace the Who in any lasting capacity. Musically, theClash are already there; now they've just got to wait for everyone to own up to the fact. I know some ofyou reading this aren't buying it. Music is the most abstract of the arts and therefore maybe the mostsubjective. Do you know anyone who thinks the Clash or the Who are no-talent po seurs? I know acouple. We all have our opinions â€” and take them a little too seriously. This is a universalphenomenon; for instance, I think Dan Fogelberg is a simpering phony, and that country-westernranks with witch-burning as a Great American Pas-stime. But what of it, you know? Somewhere in there, I found more or less what I needed. Maybe it was just due to the clearer perspective the search andreflection apparently had given me. I found viable musical alternatives and supplements in big-band jazz(the rock and roll of-its time) and symphonic classical (music of great, affecting scope; remember themain title theme from "Star Wars?"). What one wants to hear is also affected by what one wants fromthe experience: relaxation or aggravation.

NIGHT TENNIS YE DIARY —Bob Walters SWING ELECTION TO DARK HORSE ENTRY Eleven Candidates Divided Offices. Groups Will Vie for Positions in Coming- Election. Oar Business Manager has fallen heir to a new and larger desk, and we now have control of the old one. I t doesn't happen to be quite large enough, but we can clump our feet on it and it does add prestige to the job. Which reminds us, that the Bus. Mgr. is also the concoctor of "Ye Diary" each week. W. S. N. S. An article "What'll I Do Now", by Rita S. Hale, is appearing in the April issue of McCall's magazine. It is based on an interview with a big corporation executive. I t brings out the fact that we have come to look on colleges as a high type of employment agency. The graduate no longer has to go from door to door looking for a position, as the corporation* representatives now come to the colleges for employees. Those that are selected for the bigger jobs are usually in the upper 15 to 20%, but as grades are not all that are concerned the; per cent usually increases. The| sought ones are not only judged by ' .their scholastic records, but by their all around standards, including personality, activities, and looks. ...^ ..r— W. S. N. S. ~" ' ! Which is in keeping- with the fact t h a t those now hiring teachers, feel that they want teachers who are active, energetic, and., who show nice qualities of personality. Another thing that counts is personal appearance. We believe that appearance is often neglected by Normal students, and that it would be wise, to keep this in mind when we are job seeking. W. S. N. S. SUMMERS MAY RUN Election Had Been Scheduled for Today,.but Was Postponed Owing to Change in the Point System. Achievement Tests For New Students Come Next Tuesday A number of colleges are now placing flood ilghts about their tennis courts so that night tennis can be played. Some would like to see that done here, but in view of the drawing power of the courts in the day time and the fact that night study is most conducive'when there are no outside attractions, it probably would handicap most of us if such lights were installed here. -W. S. N. S. M. K. M. started., a., near., riot among the boys with her scathing "student opinion" against the men's lounging room. We are all for the club room, and as the former Nor-malite chef also pulled strongly for it, we take this opportunity 'to inform Miss M. K. M. that Normalite is club-room minded. :—W. S. N. S. Just as various groups were beginning to prophecy the outcome of the coming student body election, an entirely new light was thrown on the situation by the nomination of Lyle Summers to succeed himself as president. Whether he will ignore the Cool-idge policy of not wanting to change a precedent, or whteher he Will take the "I do not choose to run" attitude, Mr. Summers did not state in an interview following the nominations. The election was tentatively slated for today but the date was changed at a special meeting of the Board of Control. The candidates were to have been approved on the basis of grades and the point system. The board plans to make some changes in this system, and in the means of weighing the merits of the various officers. It was impossible to get this settled this week, as the faculty meeting was postponed on account of the absence of President C. H. Fisher, and well as several other faculty members. At the close of the nominations last Tuesday there were eleven listed to enter the race for the three offices, namely, that of president, vice president, and a four quarter representative to the Board of Control. Out of that group there are five students seeking the presidential chair. Owing to the large number of nominees for the comparatively small numbers of voters a little organization and .campaigning on the part of the individual candidates' boosters, may swing the lead to a dark horse. Several of the candidates had backers grouped together and bidding strongly for the vote of the undecided. Posters and signs are also slated to make their appearance. Those who have been nominated for president are: Quentin Quick, Charles Gerold, Curtis Bell, Charles Dowell, and Lyle Summers; for vice president, Mary McDonald, and Chloris Fischer, and for four-quarter representative, Arthur Grav-rock, William Kendrick, and Earl Hutchins.' : o— Next Tuesday from four to five o'clock the Stanford Achievement tests in Arithmetic Reasoning, Arithmetic Computation, Spelling, and English Usage will be given. The following day, Wednesday, tests in History, Geography, and Penmanship will be given. It is necessary to take and pass all of the tests to get into the Training school. With the exception of Penmanship, students are given four chances to pass the tests. A small charge is to be paid at the third and fourth trials. A failure in Penmanship requires the student to obtain a passing grade in one of the Penmanship courses. These tests are graced according to a new scale which was made out in the fall quarter. o TUESDAY ASSEMBLY TO BE SPONSORED BY SCIENCE DEPT, IN DRAMA CLUB PLAY Philippi, Quick, Du Bois, Dewey, and Howell Also Rate Parts in Drama at Last Night's Tryout. WILL PLAY "THE YOUNGEST' Play by Philip Barry, Is Genuinely American. Dreaming "Youngest" Is Thwarted by Practical Family. Appointment Bureau Places Nine People ^ In Teaching Positions Sundquist Will Deliver Lecture on Activities at the Friday Harbor Camp Slides Will Depict Life. STATION IS FAMOUS BOARD HEARS PLANS OF TRACK PROGRAM Final Arrangements for Souvenir Programs Made;. Price Not to Exceed Twenty-five Cents. Tuesday morning, April 15, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to an illustrated lecture by one of the members of the Science department, Miss Leona Sundquist. Her talk will be on the work done by the Normal School in connection with the University of Washington at the Puget Sound Biological Station at Friday Harbor. The slides used will show scenes of the camp life led there by students during the summer, of classes in action, and of the buildings maintained by the. Station. Every summer a group of students wo are ntereted n the work of thes who are interested in the work of the Science department and who are doing third-year work, with instructors of the department, attend the sessions. The Puget Sound Station is known throughout the United States as one of the foremost in the biological field. Many interesting specimens of marine life have been discovered there, and each year the station is visited by men prominent in the scientific professions. A lecture of this type .is given at intervals to stimulate an interest in and to enable those students who are doing advanced work to know something about activities at Friday Harbor. Tryouts for the spring quarter Drama club play "The Youngest" were held last night and with the cast chosen rehearsals will begin immediately. Philip Barry, the author of this delightful comedy, is one of America's young playwrights who has been ever moving towards the pln-acle of success. His play are genuinely American, his dialogue to the point, witty, with a spicy touch of slang. In "The Youngest" he has with ease and humor portrayed the continued repressions of the youngest son whose aspirations to become a writer are scoffed at by a practical family. He stands much, but when they put him out of his room, lock up his manuscripts, and cut off his allowance, well—the worm turns, and things happen. There is another reason though; behind him is Nancy, cleverly pushing him on and manouvering the whole family. The youngest finds her-out, misinterprets her real motive, and then —perhaps more things happen. No less than nine people have secured teaching, positions during the past, week, according to reports of the Appointment Bureau. Mabel Knapp is teaching the third grade in Greenacres, Washington; Nellie Olson has the Otter Creek school, a rural school in Lewis county; Shir-ley~ Brown is teaching grades one to four in the Evalina school; while Marjorie Coventon is located in Port Angeles. Dawn T. Goodnough and Olive Goldman have been placed at Long-branch, teaching grades 5 to 8 and grades 1 to 4, respectively. Thelma Mears has the intermediate grades in Anacortes, Charles K. Erickson is teaching in Snohomish, and Verna Scrimsher has the primary grades at Guemes. o WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE IS GREAT SUCCESS Spring Showers Idea Is Feature in Decorations Through Medium of Rainbows and Umbrellas.

The money made will go toward the payment of Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island. Brilliant umbrellas hung from the ceiling and a rainbow at one end of the floor emphasized the Spring idea. Coming in lightly flowered dresses the girls added much to the dance, giving it color and life. Programs were effective, with their purple backgrounds and gold design. The plate on the front was designed with a very little girl under a huge umbrella and drops of rain falling all around. Ann Swanson, Chairman Music was furnished by the "Rec Hour" orchestra, but because Wayne Priem, pianist, was ill, the boys had to play with other piano players and without organized practice.

B. N O R T H W E S T V I K I NG Dolly Anderson may well feel proud of the achievement of the Northwest Viking in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest held in New York this month. The Viking rated second place in competition with publications from Teacher's Colleges, Normal Schools, and Junior Colleges all over the United States. To take an already good newspaper and make it better is not always easy. Miss Anderson assumed the editorship of a publication which had taken fourth place in the national contest held last year, and forced it up through increasingly difficult competition until it rested only one rung from the top. It was a noteworthy achievement. O N E D U C A T I ON "Education: Savage and Civilized", is the title of an article by John Langdon-Davies, which appears in Harper's Magazine. Mr. Langdon- Davies, who will be remembered frorri his lecture here last year, discusses education from a new viewpoint. "Savage parents are those who regard education as an art of making out of their children exact replicas of themselves; their watchword is, 'What was good enough for me is good enough for my children.' Civilized parents are those who use, every available device and ingenuity to prevent their children being like themselves; they seek for an education which will enable the next gneration to face life a few steps farther on". "Censoring the Conduct of College Women" is discussed in The Atlantic Monthly by Mabel B. Lee, who declares that the recent development of student government in girl's schools and co-educational institutions, has gone far in making of modern woman the architect of her own education, but that the hard-won freedom has not yet been made to include the field of conduct and morals. Exponents of the theory that women students should be allowed a certain measure of freedom from restrictions and taboos imposed on their lives by deans of women, will here find valuable moral support from a woman who writes rather intelligently on the subject A scholastic meditation, "Teacher or Factory H a n d ? " , should prove interesting to teachers who feel that a too-heavy emphasis on ^getting the greatest number of students taught by the fewest„ number of teachers is productive of serious consequences. Writing anonymously, the author complains that being required to handle too many'student readers it is impossible for her to give any of them the thought and attention which they deserve, and she supports her contention with some rather tragic examples. This article also appears in the Atlantic Monthly. . o—— . - If you feel blue because your name is listed with those who have had credits cut, don't let it overcome you.

Helps Boredom Dear Mr. Leen ana Fellow -Members of the . International Relations Club: I have been in Peru now for a number of days enjoying the good and bad of Peru. , I do not hesitate to say the good arid the bad, for in spite of the show of wealthy homes here the majority of people are poor. The. poor peoples' homes are constructed of mud and a clay brick called 'ladrillo", which does not add to the cleanliness. It is very interesting to walk along the streets and glance into their homes. Every home, which, by the way, is constructed like a square box, lias its characteristic "patio" in the center. K Rich Architecture I n the better class of homes there is a veritable field of study for the student of architecture. There are old Spanish colonial homes with their abundance of wood carvings; there is the Italian villa with its name over the door; while many buildings have the upper stories in the French style of architecture. The Moorish conquest of Spain many centuries ago can still be seen in Peru in the form of architecture. A huge triumphal arch containing the characteristic domes and three quarter circles of Arabs is one of the sights to see in Lima. The Spanish people certainly love to adorn their homes with beautiful carvings, variously designed mosaic and gorgeous flowers. Peru has an antique university. It was founded by one of the Spanish (kings in 1551 and has been in service ever since. The subject matter taught is very much up to date, while the athletic equipment is imported from America. Soccer seems to be their national sport, and when I asked one of the students why they did not play American football, I received the most reasonable answer —and yet to us the most peculiar reason. He said that the Spanish peoples are too emotional. They fight before a tame game of soccer begins and when it is all over they go out into the streets and finish the duel by fists. Fear Capitalists The students, as a whole, dislike the United States because of its big-stick policy with the smaller American countries, it amused me to realize that they, do not attribute this to we citizens but to the capitalists of America. ,In fact they came straight with .their thoughts and asked me "Do you believe that it is necessary to have a socialist revolution in America?" They have a dislike or,suspicion of Europe especially Spain. Although they believe the Monroe Doctrine is only a piece of paper, the students have faith in an American community of friendship as opposed, to Europe. In fact, like, all students, they are a little inquisitive., About six months ago they became so opposed to the present President of Peru, M. Le-guia, that the police had to kill about twenty, send two hundred to the political prison and expel about as many more from the country. People expect in the future some sweeping political changes to come over Peru through these students. Study Cerevantes While you students are industri-. ously studying Shakespeare or worshipping him these young students barely know the gentleman, and instead it is Cervantes, Cervantes, everywhere. Last Sunday I witnessed my first and last bull-fight. Six beautiful bulls came bouncing into the ring and were artistically slaughtered by the torreadors amid the wild, warm acclamations of the people. There is only one thing that I can admire in the sport. That is when the tor-reador, after taking two barbs into his hands, runs directly for the bull's head and leaves them in the animal's shoulders without so much as a graze from the beast. I guess it is as a young Chilian explained to me, "you must have Spanish blood in your veins to enjoy a bullfight." Speeding Home As I write this final note we are speeding down the coast of Peru, off Mollendo, on our way to northern Chile. In Chile the boat shall lift a cargo of iron ore for the iron smelter in Tacoma. So far, we have been dropping lumber from Tacoma and Bellingham to various ports all along the Coast. Sailors must stand their watches so that means "Adios". Yours truly, ' , —GUY S. SPRINGSTEEL.

Every year the Prosh make a real try to overwhelm the Sophs, but as the dope, points up to date the Soph class men have the edge. Interest is running high especially in the dressing rooms and several heated arguments have been staged there between the managers, Brinkman and Flowers, as to the outcome in some of the events. I am hoping that Brinkman will get the right 'end'of this bone. ATHENS WINS For the secona time in two years the pennant of the interscholastic " basketball championship of the United States will be floated from the flagpole 01' Athens, Texas, high school. The Texans defeated Jeno, Louisiana, 22 .to 16 in the final game of the tournament, last Saturday night to put down in history the first time that the national championship has been won by the same institution twice. It was a heart breaking defeat for the Zena boys, for since early winter they had spent their evenings, either in the only grocery store in town or in t he high school gym. So convinced were ' the citizens of this little town that they collected enough money to send the team to the National Tourney. U. OF W. WINS It was just an indoor record breaking- spree for Washington last Saturday night when the U. of W. defeated- the California Bears by the score of 74 1-3 to 55 2-3. The records broken were the discus, by Paul Jessup, with a throw of 153 feet 8J4 inches. A jump of 23 feet, broke the former broad jump record. Steve Anderson lowered the mark for the 180-yard low hurdles when he covered them in 20.1 seconds. Another, record fell when Hurthy ran the 440 yard dash in 49.9 seconds. The fifth record bit the dust when Kiserr covered the distance of „ ene mile in 4:19.

LETTERMEN ARE BARRED Opening the Viking track season, the annual inter-class meet between the Frosh and t he Sophomores began last night and will be finished this afternoon. A great deal of interest is being shown in the meet which should be a close race.all the way through. The Frosh are given a slight edge over the upper-classmen, because they have more men entered in the different events. hTe method of giving points also favors the Frosh. I n all events except the 100-yard dash, points will be given the first five places. In this event, two heats will be r un off and points given to the first three place winners. Lettermen are barred from the meet which also does not help the Sophs any. Brinkman is manager of the Sophomore team while Flowers heads the Frosh outfit. The events which will take-place Thursday and those entered are: 100-yard dash—F, Emery, Flowers, Johnston, Faulkner, Duyff; S, Jackson, Abshire, Iverson, Dixon, B. Cole. 880-yard run—F, Sanders, Quick, Eacrett, Lovegren. High hurdles—S, Gunn, Dixon; F, Flowers, Eacrett. Discus—S. Thorsen; F, Flowers, Shelton, Voris, Emery.

A new course in physical education is to be offered this.quarter by the Physical Education department. What do you suppose it could be ? Nothing but thejavorite pastime of Occie Thorsen—Golf. The course will be given by Al Kozmoski and should prove inter- -esting to beginners. SANDBERG RESIGNS— Roy Sandberg, coach of the- El-lensburg Normal school for t h e past four years, has tendered his resignation, it was learned this week. Sandberg, with the faithful support of all Ellensburg, was successful in turning out some good squads. Winning several tri-Normal titles. Bel-lingham alumni of Whatcom High seems to be on Sandburg's trial. I t is rumored _about that he may take over the coaching of football at the high school. The weather has been playing havoc with the track and baseball turnouts for the past week. However, light turnouts have been held in the gyms. Either squad cannot afford the forced delay caused by the weather, by being twd of the weakest teams to start with that we have had. The coaches need every minute they can get to put forth two good representing squads for the institution. Shelton, Faulkner. Pole vault—F, Sanders, Flowers, Eacrett. Golfer Al Kuzmoski . To Instruct Glasses In Scottish Game Al Kuzmoski will be the pro for all students who are turning out for golf instruction this quarter. Classes are held at 10 o'clock on l!£onday and Wednesday; and a t 8 and 5 o'clock Tuesday and Thursday. One may take only two lessons a week. To play, equipment must be furnished by t h e would-be gofler, and a green fee paid. The classes are open to both men and women, but only twelve people may sign for each class, and since all are nearly filled, students should sign at once. One may sign up on the W. A. A. bulletin board, down stairs. Chances for Tennis Team Look Bad for the Quarter With the drawing* for a ladder tournament having been made, Viking racket-wielders will start getting in shape for t h e coming tennis season. Prospects for a championship squad appear few and far between, and so far, no outstanding material has yet shown up. The tri-normal meet is the only match scheduled for the Vikings as yet, but matches with the Washington Frosh and C. P. S. may be arranged. Three or four men will be picked from the tournament to form the team. In this type of tournament, one man may play another two places above him and should he win, they automatically change their places. Up to date three matches have been played. Stearns defeated Reid to hold onto first place, and Reid in turn won from Gross to keep second place. In the other match Emery defeated Rich. Twenty-three men have signed up for t he tourney. The order in which the tournament was begun is as follows: 1, Stearns; 2, Reid; 3, Emery; 4, Gross; 5, Rich$ 6, Ames; 7, Anayah; 8, Rork; 9, Nostrant; 10, Constantine; 11, Dixon; 12, Johnson; 13, Vaughn; 14, Sanders; 15, Brownlow; 16, Flowers; 17, Abshire; 18, Owen; 19, McMeen; 20, Thai; 21, Evereden; 22, Austin; 23, Mollan. INITIATION lO BE SOON FOR W. A. A. MEMBERS Twelve women have signed up for membership into the Women's Athletic Association for spring quarter. Initiation will be held in the next two weeks and so all girls wishing to be W. A. A. members should sign on the bulletin board downstairs. It is not necessary to be a,W. A. A. member to turn out for sports, but for team awards and for t he counting of points, membership is required. o LAKE WHATCOM HIKE PROVES BIG SUCCESS The first hike of" the quarter was taken last Saturday. The girls planned to hike to Lake Padden, but, due to some misunderstanding, they lost their way and found themselves at Lake Whatcom, where they enjoyed themselves swinging at Whatcom Falls park. One of the rare treats of the afternoon was a trip to the Falls, which was a new sight to t h e majority of the girls. o In connection with the Ladies' Music club organization, Miss Grace Moore and Miss Maud Slawson of the Music department have been appointed joint chairmen for a program on Opera, which will be given in the Fine Arts building, next Wednesday. SPORTS FOR SPRING SHOW BIG TURNOUT FROM W.A.A. GROUP Speedball, Baseball/Handball, Tennis, and Archery Are the Sport Lineups for Women This Quarter. TWO WEEKS OF TECHNIQUE Spring sports have made their debut for the women athletics of the school and each night of the week sees sixty to ninety girls out doing their best with the racquet, or the bow, or what have you to offer. Baseball and archery call out the largest crowds, both having about thirty-five girls out. Baseball under Miss Mildred Jewell, on Tuesday and Thursday nights, shows some decided new talent, as well as that which the Sophomore class has to offer. The Freshmen have the larger turnout. • Archery is made a'better sport with the addition of new equpment. Peouple choosing to watch the prac-tce, are asked by the P.

Strange noises, weird chants and incantations permeated the atmosphere of the auditorium Tuesday morning, when Bathie Stuart of New Zealand appeared before the student body with interpretations of the customs and folk lore of the Maori tribes of her native country. (Miss Stuart also gave an interesting talk about New Zealand and introduced a motion picture film showing the country and its people. v As Miss Stuart said, a great many Americans do not know much about New Zealand and-describe it carelessly as a "bunch of islands somewhere in, the Southern Pacific." Most people* think that New Zealand •and Australia are close together, whereas they are 1200 miles apart. i n her talk, Miss Stuart attempted to correct this impression and in so doing gave some unusual information about a section of the world with which few are acquainted. Interpreted Songs Following the conclusion of the motion picture film, Miss Stuart appeared in native Maori costume. I n this picturesque attire she performed a number of tribal dances, and sang a group of native songs, first singing them i n the Maori tongue and then translating them into English. Some of them were quite lovely, particularly the love songs, while others seemed to be almost ferocious. Judging from the applause which Miss Stuart received this was one of the most successful assemblies presented in some weeks. BRUBACHER SPEAKS BEFORE ASSEMBLY .Speaks on Differences Between • European..and American Schools; School Paid Library Compliment. : A. R. Brubacher, president of the New York State College for Teachers, was a speaker before the student body hi 'the -regular assembly, Friday, April 4. Mr. Brubacher chose as his subject the difference between European and American schools. He has just recently completed a study of the former, and so is well qualified to lecture upon the topic. The most striking difference which President Brubacher noted was the fact that in England and on the Continent only a select.few are permitted to enter institutions of higher learning and those few carefully picked, while in America we attempt to educate the masses. Consequently, the freshman in the European college is as far advanced as the junior or •senior in the American college. Mr. Brucbacher, however, declared that this was no reflection upon the American school system. It is merely due to a difference in aims. Praises Library An amusing instance, to American minds, was cited by the speaker in explaining the British system of ascertaining whether a student is in attendance. He said that roll is not taken in any of the classes but t h e student must dine in the dining hall. As long as a student dines "in hall" he is considered to be. attending school. I n closing his talk President Brubacher paid this school a fine compliment when he stated that Bellingham 'Normal's library was one of the best he had seen in any teachers' training college in the country.

One of the most beautiful organ numbers was "Cantilene", by Harry Rowe Shelley, a softly moving melody permeated by clear distant tones which came nearer and nearer until they disclosed harmonies low and richly colored. This was followed by "Fughetat", by Lemai-gre, a short piece, swift, light, and lively. Then came the peaceful and tranquil of "Chanson Joyeuse", by MacFarlane. Music which flooded the building with sounds sacred, lofty, and majestic was characterized by the "Second Suite", by James H. Rogers! and through it all Mr. Griffith displayed skill technically, and mentally an intensity of purpose. Mr. Helder gave a fine and earnest interpretation of sacred arias from works of Mendelssohn, and Dr. A. H. KNAAK Associated Dental Specialists 218 Mason Bldg. Cor. Railroad and Holly Training School sters Agriculturists Signs of the advent of spring-^-an army of small workers laboring in their garden on Huntoon Drive. The garden was started a year ago by the pupils of the first, second, third and fourth grades in the Training school, and has been continued since then, in connection with their other school work. Before spring vacation, these young agriculturists journeyed to the plot to watch the earliest activities of the, ^perennial plants which had been planted last fall. They were very greatly thrilled to find several bold crocuses venturing above ground, and upon returning to their desks the second graders found the impulse to convert their experience into verse so strong that the following tribute to "Little Crocus" was evolved: "Little crocus, Little crocus, In your garden bed. Can you hear us calling? Do lift up your head". These words were set to music with Miss Grace Moore's help. Since vacation the children have been bringing seeds to school, germinating them in glass containers in sunny windows of the school room, and have correlated their class work; Some remarkably original artistic efforts have been the result of an hour's labor in the garden, and a great deal of practical information has been gained through the manual labor connected with the project. The tools used are strong and sturdy, but of a size adapted to the small hands and strength of little people. The soil has been spaded and raked bulbs cultivated and sweet peas planted, all by the children themselves. Interesting developments are expected by those who are watching the progress of this •unit of work. o The regular Thorndike Aptitude test was given to approximately fifty-five students last Thursday morning. All students who had not previously taken the test were required to do so. In the absence of Dr. Masters and Dr. Upshall the test was given by Miss Early with the assistance of Catherine Dess and Velma Hilson. The test required about an hour's time. disclosed a voice of strength with fine tonal qualities. "In the Time of Roses", by Reichardt, was a song fine in itself yet greatly enhanced through the voice of Mr. Helder.

NIGHT TENNIS YE DIARY —Bob Walters SWING ELECTION TO DARK HORSE ENTRY Eleven Candidates Divided Offices. Groups Will Vie for Positions in Coming- Election. Oar Business Manager has fallen heir to a new and larger desk, and we now have control of the old one. I t doesn't happen to be quite large enough, but we can clump our feet on it and it does add prestige to the job. Which reminds us, that the Bus. Mgr. is also the concoctor of "Ye Diary" each week. W. S. N. S. An article "What'll I Do Now", by Rita S. Hale, is appearing in the April issue of McCall's magazine. It is based on an interview with a big corporation executive. I t brings out the fact that we have come to look on colleges as a high type of employment agency. The graduate no longer has to go from door to door looking for a position, as the corporation* representatives now come to the colleges for employees. Those that are selected for the bigger jobs are usually in the upper 15 to 20%, but as grades are not all that are concerned the; per cent usually increases. The| sought ones are not only judged by ' .their scholastic records, but by their all around standards, including personality, activities, and looks. ...^ ..r— W. S. N. S. ~" ' ! Which is in keeping- with the fact t h a t those now hiring teachers, feel that they want teachers who are active, energetic, and., who show nice qualities of personality. Another thing that counts is personal appearance. We believe that appearance is often neglected by Normal students, and that it would be wise, to keep this in mind when we are job seeking. W. S. N. S. SUMMERS MAY RUN Election Had Been Scheduled for Today,.but Was Postponed Owing to Change in the Point System. Achievement Tests For New Students Come Next Tuesday A number of colleges are now placing flood ilghts about their tennis courts so that night tennis can be played. Some would like to see that done here, but in view of the drawing power of the courts in the day time and the fact that night study is most conducive'when there are no outside attractions, it probably would handicap most of us if such lights were installed here. -W. S. N. S. M. K. M. started., a., near., riot among the boys with her scathing "student opinion" against the men's lounging room. We are all for the club room, and as the former Nor-malite chef also pulled strongly for it, we take this opportunity 'to inform Miss M. K. M. that Normalite is club-room minded. :—W. S. N. S. Just as various groups were beginning to prophecy the outcome of the coming student body election, an entirely new light was thrown on the situation by the nomination of Lyle Summers to succeed himself as president. Whether he will ignore the Cool-idge policy of not wanting to change a precedent, or whteher he Will take the "I do not choose to run" attitude, Mr. Summers did not state in an interview following the nominations. The election was tentatively slated for today but the date was changed at a special meeting of the Board of Control. The candidates were to have been approved on the basis of grades and the point system. The board plans to make some changes in this system, and in the means of weighing the merits of the various officers. It was impossible to get this settled this week, as the faculty meeting was postponed on account of the absence of President C. H. Fisher, and well as several other faculty members. At the close of the nominations last Tuesday there were eleven listed to enter the race for the three offices, namely, that of president, vice president, and a four quarter representative to the Board of Control. Out of that group there are five students seeking the presidential chair. Owing to the large number of nominees for the comparatively small numbers of voters a little organization and .campaigning on the part of the individual candidates' boosters, may swing the lead to a dark horse. Several of the candidates had backers grouped together and bidding strongly for the vote of the undecided. Posters and signs are also slated to make their appearance. Those who have been nominated for president are: Quentin Quick, Charles Gerold, Curtis Bell, Charles Dowell, and Lyle Summers; for vice president, Mary McDonald, and Chloris Fischer, and for four-quarter representative, Arthur Grav-rock, William Kendrick, and Earl Hutchins.' : o— Next Tuesday from four to five o'clock the Stanford Achievement tests in Arithmetic Reasoning, Arithmetic Computation, Spelling, and English Usage will be given. The following day, Wednesday, tests in History, Geography, and Penmanship will be given. It is necessary to take and pass all of the tests to get into the Training school. With the exception of Penmanship, students are given four chances to pass the tests. A small charge is to be paid at the third and fourth trials. A failure in Penmanship requires the student to obtain a passing grade in one of the Penmanship courses. These tests are graced according to a new scale which was made out in the fall quarter. o TUESDAY ASSEMBLY TO BE SPONSORED BY SCIENCE DEPT, IN DRAMA CLUB PLAY Philippi, Quick, Du Bois, Dewey, and Howell Also Rate Parts in Drama at Last Night's Tryout. WILL PLAY "THE YOUNGEST' Play by Philip Barry, Is Genuinely American. Dreaming "Youngest" Is Thwarted by Practical Family. Appointment Bureau Places Nine People ^ In Teaching Positions Sundquist Will Deliver Lecture on Activities at the Friday Harbor Camp Slides Will Depict Life. STATION IS FAMOUS BOARD HEARS PLANS OF TRACK PROGRAM Final Arrangements for Souvenir Programs Made;. Price Not to Exceed Twenty-five Cents. Tuesday morning, April 15, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to an illustrated lecture by one of the members of the Science department, Miss Leona Sundquist. Her talk will be on the work done by the Normal School in connection with the University of Washington at the Puget Sound Biological Station at Friday Harbor. The slides used will show scenes of the camp life led there by students during the summer, of classes in action, and of the buildings maintained by the. Station. Every summer a group of students wo are ntereted n the work of thes who are interested in the work of the Science department and who are doing third-year work, with instructors of the department, attend the sessions. The Puget Sound Station is known throughout the United States as one of the foremost in the biological field. Many interesting specimens of marine life have been discovered there, and each year the station is visited by men prominent in the scientific professions. A lecture of this type .is given at intervals to stimulate an interest in and to enable those students who are doing advanced work to know something about activities at Friday Harbor. Tryouts for the spring quarter Drama club play "The Youngest" were held last night and with the cast chosen rehearsals will begin immediately. Philip Barry, the author of this delightful comedy, is one of America's young playwrights who has been ever moving towards the pln-acle of success. His play are genuinely American, his dialogue to the point, witty, with a spicy touch of slang. In "The Youngest" he has with ease and humor portrayed the continued repressions of the youngest son whose aspirations to become a writer are scoffed at by a practical family. He stands much, but when they put him out of his room, lock up his manuscripts, and cut off his allowance, well—the worm turns, and things happen. There is another reason though; behind him is Nancy, cleverly pushing him on and manouvering the whole family. The youngest finds her-out, misinterprets her real motive, and then —perhaps more things happen. No less than nine people have secured teaching, positions during the past, week, according to reports of the Appointment Bureau. Mabel Knapp is teaching the third grade in Greenacres, Washington; Nellie Olson has the Otter Creek school, a rural school in Lewis county; Shir-ley~ Brown is teaching grades one to four in the Evalina school; while Marjorie Coventon is located in Port Angeles. Dawn T. Goodnough and Olive Goldman have been placed at Long-branch, teaching grades 5 to 8 and grades 1 to 4, respectively. Thelma Mears has the intermediate grades in Anacortes, Charles K. Erickson is teaching in Snohomish, and Verna Scrimsher has the primary grades at Guemes. o WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE IS GREAT SUCCESS Spring Showers Idea Is Feature in Decorations Through Medium of Rainbows and Umbrellas.

The money made will go toward the payment of Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island. Brilliant umbrellas hung from the ceiling and a rainbow at one end of the floor emphasized the Spring idea. Coming in lightly flowered dresses the girls added much to the dance, giving it color and life. Programs were effective, with their purple backgrounds and gold design. The plate on the front was designed with a very little girl under a huge umbrella and drops of rain falling all around. Ann Swanson, Chairman Music was furnished by the "Rec Hour" orchestra, but because Wayne Priem, pianist, was ill, the boys had to play with other piano players and without organized practice.

Even shadow has a beauty with the deep green hue of springtime, earth is waking, smiling, sparkling; life begins again to grow. Sunlight's sultry summer splendor never thrills like this of springtime; now a scented, /golden beauty seems poured out on all around—golden, green the hill above us, golden city, bay below, with a breath of breeze that ripples sun and shadow into sound. —J. B. N O R T H W E S T V I K I NG Dolly Anderson may well feel proud of the achievement of the Northwest Viking in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest held in New York this month. The Viking rated second place in competition with publications from Teacher's Colleges, Normal Schools, and Junior Colleges all over the United States. To take an already good newspaper and make it better is not always easy. Miss Anderson assumed the editorship of a publication which had taken fourth place in the national contest held last year, and forced it up through increasingly difficult competition until it rested only one rung from the top. It was a noteworthy achievement. O N E D U C A T I ON "Education: Savage and Civilized", is the title of an article by John Langdon-Davies, which appears in Harper's Magazine. Mr. Langdon- Davies, who will be remembered frorri his lecture here last year, discusses education from a new viewpoint. "Savage parents are those who regard education as an art of making out of their children exact replicas of themselves; their watchword is, 'What was good enough for me is good enough for my children.' Civilized parents are those who use, every available device and ingenuity to prevent their children being like themselves; they seek for an education which will enable the next gneration to face life a few steps farther on". "Censoring the Conduct of College Women" is discussed in The Atlantic Monthly by Mabel B. Lee, who declares that the recent development of student government in girl's schools and co-educational institutions, has gone far in making of modern woman the architect of her own education, but that the hard-won freedom has not yet been made to include the field of conduct and morals. Exponents of the theory that women students should be allowed a certain measure of freedom from restrictions and taboos imposed on their lives by deans of women, will here find valuable moral support from a woman who writes rather intelligently on the subject A scholastic meditation, "Teacher or Factory H a n d ? " , should prove interesting to teachers who feel that a too-heavy emphasis on ^getting the greatest number of students taught by the fewest„ number of teachers is productive of serious consequences. Writing anonymously, the author complains that being required to handle too many'student readers it is impossible for her to give any of them the thought and attention which they deserve, and she supports her contention with some rather tragic examples. This article also appears in the Atlantic Monthly. . o—— . - If you feel blue because your name is listed with those who have had credits cut, don't let it overcome you.

Helps Boredom Dear Mr. Leen ana Fellow -Members of the . International Relations Club: I have been in Peru now for a number of days enjoying the good and bad of Peru. , I do not hesitate to say the good arid the bad, for in spite of the show of wealthy homes here the majority of people are poor. The. poor peoples' homes are constructed of mud and a clay brick called 'ladrillo", which does not add to the cleanliness. It is very interesting to walk along the streets and glance into their homes. Every home, which, by the way, is constructed like a square box, lias its characteristic "patio" in the center. K Rich Architecture I n the better class of homes there is a veritable field of study for the student of architecture. There are old Spanish colonial homes with their abundance of wood carvings; there is the Italian villa with its name over the door; while many buildings have the upper stories in the French style of architecture. The Moorish conquest of Spain many centuries ago can still be seen in Peru in the form of architecture. A huge triumphal arch containing the characteristic domes and three quarter circles of Arabs is one of the sights to see in Lima. The Spanish people certainly love to adorn their homes with beautiful carvings, variously designed mosaic and gorgeous flowers. Peru has an antique university. It was founded by one of the Spanish (kings in 1551 and has been in service ever since. The subject matter taught is very much up to date, while the athletic equipment is imported from America. Soccer seems to be their national sport, and when I asked one of the students why they did not play American football, I received the most reasonable answer —and yet to us the most peculiar reason. He said that the Spanish peoples are too emotional. They fight before a tame game of soccer begins and when it is all over they go out into the streets and finish the duel by fists. Fear Capitalists The students, as a whole, dislike the United States because of its big-stick policy with the smaller American countries, it amused me to realize that they, do not attribute this to we citizens but to the capitalists of America. ,In fact they came straight with .their thoughts and asked me "Do you believe that it is necessary to have a socialist revolution in America?" They have a dislike or,suspicion of Europe especially Spain. Although they believe the Monroe Doctrine is only a piece of paper, the students have faith in an American community of friendship as opposed, to Europe. In fact, like, all students, they are a little inquisitive., About six months ago they became so opposed to the present President of Peru, M. Le-guia, that the police had to kill about twenty, send two hundred to the political prison and expel about as many more from the country. People expect in the future some sweeping political changes to come over Peru through these students. Study Cerevantes While you students are industri-. ously studying Shakespeare or worshipping him these young students barely know the gentleman, and instead it is Cervantes, Cervantes, everywhere. Last Sunday I witnessed my first and last bull-fight. Six beautiful bulls came bouncing into the ring and were artistically slaughtered by the torreadors amid the wild, warm acclamations of the people. There is only one thing that I can admire in the sport. That is when the tor-reador, after taking two barbs into his hands, runs directly for the bull's head and leaves them in the animal's shoulders without so much as a graze from the beast. I guess it is as a young Chilian explained to me, "you must have Spanish blood in your veins to enjoy a bullfight." Speeding Home As I write this final note we are speeding down the coast of Peru, off Mollendo, on our way to northern Chile. In Chile the boat shall lift a cargo of iron ore for the iron smelter in Tacoma. So far, we have been dropping lumber from Tacoma and Bellingham to various ports all along the Coast. Sailors must stand their watches so that means "Adios". Yours truly, ' , —GUY S. SPRINGSTEEL.

Burnett's second novel, his first being "Little Caesar", and was chosen by the Book of the Month club as one of their books for 1930. But in spite of the fact that the club gave it a nmning, the actual merits of the ; book will make it popular, especially among the men.

Every year the Prosh make a real try to overwhelm the Sophs, but as the dope, points up to date the Soph class men have the edge. Interest is running high especially in the dressing rooms and several heated arguments have been staged there between the managers, Brinkman and Flowers, as to the outcome in some of the events. I am hoping that Brinkman will get the right 'end'of this bone. ATHENS WINS For the secona time in two years the pennant of the interscholastic " basketball championship of the United States will be floated from the flagpole 01' Athens, Texas, high school. The Texans defeated Jeno, Louisiana, 22 .to 16 in the final game of the tournament, last Saturday night to put down in history the first time that the national championship has been won by the same institution twice. It was a heart breaking defeat for the Zena boys, for since early winter they had spent their evenings, either in the only grocery store in town or in t he high school gym. So convinced were ' the citizens of this little town that they collected enough money to send the team to the National Tourney. U. OF W. WINS It was just an indoor record breaking- spree for Washington last Saturday night when the U. of W. defeated- the California Bears by the score of 74 1-3 to 55 2-3. The records broken were the discus, by Paul Jessup, with a throw of 153 feet 8J4 inches. A jump of 23 feet, broke the former broad jump record. Steve Anderson lowered the mark for the 180-yard low hurdles when he covered them in 20.1 seconds. Another, record fell when Hurthy ran the 440 yard dash in 49.9 seconds. The fifth record bit the dust when Kiserr covered the distance of „ ene mile in 4:19.

LETTERMEN ARE BARRED Opening the Viking track season, the annual inter-class meet between the Frosh and t he Sophomores began last night and will be finished this afternoon. A great deal of interest is being shown in the meet which should be a close race.all the way through. The Frosh are given a slight edge over the upper-classmen, because they have more men entered in the different events. hTe method of giving points also favors the Frosh. I n all events except the 100-yard dash, points will be given the first five places. In this event, two heats will be r un off and points given to the first three place winners. Lettermen are barred from the meet which also does not help the Sophs any. Brinkman is manager of the Sophomore team while Flowers heads the Frosh outfit. The events which will take-place Thursday and those entered are: 100-yard dash—F, Emery, Flowers, Johnston, Faulkner, Duyff; S, Jackson, Abshire, Iverson, Dixon, B. Cole. 880-yard run—F, Sanders, Quick, Eacrett, Lovegren. High hurdles—S, Gunn, Dixon; F, Flowers, Eacrett. Discus—S. Thorsen; F, Flowers, Shelton, Voris, Emery.

A new course in physical education is to be offered this.quarter by the Physical Education department. What do you suppose it could be ? Nothing but thejavorite pastime of Occie Thorsen—Golf. The course will be given by Al Kozmoski and should prove inter- -esting to beginners. SANDBERG RESIGNS— Roy Sandberg, coach of the- El-lensburg Normal school for t h e past four years, has tendered his resignation, it was learned this week. Sandberg, with the faithful support of all Ellensburg, was successful in turning out some good squads. Winning several tri-Normal titles. Bel-lingham alumni of Whatcom High seems to be on Sandburg's trial. I t is rumored _about that he may take over the coaching of football at the high school. The weather has been playing havoc with the track and baseball turnouts for the past week. However, light turnouts have been held in the gyms. Either squad cannot afford the forced delay caused by the weather, by being twd of the weakest teams to start with that we have had. The coaches need every minute they can get to put forth two good representing squads for the institution. Shelton, Faulkner. Pole vault—F, Sanders, Flowers, Eacrett. Golfer Al Kuzmoski . To Instruct Glasses In Scottish Game Al Kuzmoski will be the pro for all students who are turning out for golf instruction this quarter. Classes are held at 10 o'clock on l!£onday and Wednesday; and a t 8 and 5 o'clock Tuesday and Thursday. One may take only two lessons a week. To play, equipment must be furnished by t h e would-be gofler, and a green fee paid. The classes are open to both men and women, but only twelve people may sign for each class, and since all are nearly filled, students should sign at once. One may sign up on the W. A. A. bulletin board, down stairs. Chances for Tennis Team Look Bad for the Quarter With the drawing* for a ladder tournament having been made, Viking racket-wielders will start getting in shape for t h e coming tennis season. Prospects for a championship squad appear few and far between, and so far, no outstanding material has yet shown up. The tri-normal meet is the only match scheduled for the Vikings as yet, but matches with the Washington Frosh and C. P. S. may be arranged. Three or four men will be picked from the tournament to form the team. In this type of tournament, one man may play another two places above him and should he win, they automatically change their places. Up to date three matches have been played. Stearns defeated Reid to hold onto first place, and Reid in turn won from Gross to keep second place. In the other match Emery defeated Rich. Twenty-three men have signed up for t he tourney. The order in which the tournament was begun is as follows: 1, Stearns; 2, Reid; 3, Emery; 4, Gross; 5, Rich$ 6, Ames; 7, Anayah; 8, Rork; 9, Nostrant; 10, Constantine; 11, Dixon; 12, Johnson; 13, Vaughn; 14, Sanders; 15, Brownlow; 16, Flowers; 17, Abshire; 18, Owen; 19, McMeen; 20, Thai; 21, Evereden; 22, Austin; 23, Mollan. INITIATION lO BE SOON FOR W. A. A. MEMBERS Twelve women have signed up for membership into the Women's Athletic Association for spring quarter. Initiation will be held in the next two weeks and so all girls wishing to be W. A. A. members should sign on the bulletin board downstairs. It is not necessary to be a,W. A. A. member to turn out for sports, but for team awards and for t he counting of points, membership is required. o LAKE WHATCOM HIKE PROVES BIG SUCCESS The first hike of" the quarter was taken last Saturday. The girls planned to hike to Lake Padden, but, due to some misunderstanding, they lost their way and found themselves at Lake Whatcom, where they enjoyed themselves swinging at Whatcom Falls park. One of the rare treats of the afternoon was a trip to the Falls, which was a new sight to t h e majority of the girls. o In connection with the Ladies' Music club organization, Miss Grace Moore and Miss Maud Slawson of the Music department have been appointed joint chairmen for a program on Opera, which will be given in the Fine Arts building, next Wednesday. SPORTS FOR SPRING SHOW BIG TURNOUT FROM W.A.A. GROUP Speedball, Baseball/Handball, Tennis, and Archery Are the Sport Lineups for Women This Quarter. TWO WEEKS OF TECHNIQUE Spring sports have made their debut for the women athletics of the school and each night of the week sees sixty to ninety girls out doing their best with the racquet, or the bow, or what have you to offer. Baseball and archery call out the largest crowds, both having about thirty-five girls out. Baseball under Miss Mildred Jewell, on Tuesday and Thursday nights, shows some decided new talent, as well as that which the Sophomore class has to offer. The Freshmen have the larger turnout. • Archery is made a'better sport with the addition of new equpment. Peouple choosing to watch the prac-tce, are asked by the P.

Strange noises, weird chants and incantations permeated the atmosphere of the auditorium Tuesday morning, when Bathie Stuart of New Zealand appeared before the student body with interpretations of the customs and folk lore of the Maori tribes of her native country. (Miss Stuart also gave an interesting talk about New Zealand and introduced a motion picture film showing the country and its people. v As Miss Stuart said, a great many Americans do not know much about New Zealand and-describe it carelessly as a "bunch of islands somewhere in, the Southern Pacific." Most people* think that New Zealand •and Australia are close together, whereas they are 1200 miles apart. i n her talk, Miss Stuart attempted to correct this impression and in so doing gave some unusual information about a section of the world with which few are acquainted. Interpreted Songs Following the conclusion of the motion picture film, Miss Stuart appeared in native Maori costume. I n this picturesque attire she performed a number of tribal dances, and sang a group of native songs, first singing them i n the Maori tongue and then translating them into English. Some of them were quite lovely, particularly the love songs, while others seemed to be almost ferocious. Judging from the applause which Miss Stuart received this was one of the most successful assemblies presented in some weeks. BRUBACHER SPEAKS BEFORE ASSEMBLY .Speaks on Differences Between • European..and American Schools; School Paid Library Compliment. : A. R. Brubacher, president of the New York State College for Teachers, was a speaker before the student body hi 'the -regular assembly, Friday, April 4. Mr. Brubacher chose as his subject the difference between European and American schools. He has just recently completed a study of the former, and so is well qualified to lecture upon the topic. The most striking difference which President Brubacher noted was the fact that in England and on the Continent only a select.few are permitted to enter institutions of higher learning and those few carefully picked, while in America we attempt to educate the masses. Consequently, the freshman in the European college is as far advanced as the junior or •senior in the American college. Mr. Brucbacher, however, declared that this was no reflection upon the American school system. It is merely due to a difference in aims. Praises Library An amusing instance, to American minds, was cited by the speaker in explaining the British system of ascertaining whether a student is in attendance. He said that roll is not taken in any of the classes but t h e student must dine in the dining hall. As long as a student dines "in hall" he is considered to be. attending school. I n closing his talk President Brubacher paid this school a fine compliment when he stated that Bellingham 'Normal's library was one of the best he had seen in any teachers' training college in the country.

One of the most beautiful organ numbers was "Cantilene", by Harry Rowe Shelley, a softly moving melody permeated by clear distant tones which came nearer and nearer until they disclosed harmonies low and richly colored. This was followed by "Fughetat", by Lemai-gre, a short piece, swift, light, and lively. Then came the peaceful and tranquil of "Chanson Joyeuse", by MacFarlane. Music which flooded the building with sounds sacred, lofty, and majestic was characterized by the "Second Suite", by James H. Rogers! and through it all Mr. Griffith displayed skill technically, and mentally an intensity of purpose. Mr. Helder gave a fine and earnest interpretation of sacred arias from works of Mendelssohn, and Dr. A. H. KNAAK Associated Dental Specialists 218 Mason Bldg. Cor. Railroad and Holly Training School sters Agriculturists Signs of the advent of spring-^-an army of small workers laboring in their garden on Huntoon Drive. The garden was started a year ago by the pupils of the first, second, third and fourth grades in the Training school, and has been continued since then, in connection with their other school work. Before spring vacation, these young agriculturists journeyed to the plot to watch the earliest activities of the, ^perennial plants which had been planted last fall. They were very greatly thrilled to find several bold crocuses venturing above ground, and upon returning to their desks the second graders found the impulse to convert their experience into verse so strong that the following tribute to "Little Crocus" was evolved: "Little crocus, Little crocus, In your garden bed. Can you hear us calling? Do lift up your head". These words were set to music with Miss Grace Moore's help. Since vacation the children have been bringing seeds to school, germinating them in glass containers in sunny windows of the school room, and have correlated their class work; Some remarkably original artistic efforts have been the result of an hour's labor in the garden, and a great deal of practical information has been gained through the manual labor connected with the project. The tools used are strong and sturdy, but of a size adapted to the small hands and strength of little people. The soil has been spaded and raked bulbs cultivated and sweet peas planted, all by the children themselves. Interesting developments are expected by those who are watching the progress of this •unit of work. o The regular Thorndike Aptitude test was given to approximately fifty-five students last Thursday morning. All students who had not previously taken the test were required to do so. In the absence of Dr. Masters and Dr. Upshall the test was given by Miss Early with the assistance of Catherine Dess and Velma Hilson. The test required about an hour's time. disclosed a voice of strength with fine tonal qualities.

Montes tells of Yakutat as a fat man's paradise where they eat twelve meals a day.

Munkres, now a forest protective service' guard, found a piece of wrapping paper on his way en route to the Canyon creek base after his first day on the search. He was attempting to rejoin three other searchers in his party at dusk last Saturday, the time of" his discovery. The wrapping paper, torn from a quantity of meat the boy had. been carrying, led to a box of matches farther down the steep, rocky inciine, then to the packsack and broken pack-board. Munkres spied the boy's body under a salmonberry bush into which he had rolled. Hank Reasoner, another Western Washington student, supervised the removal of the body Sunday. Twin Lakes Hike Beckons Student Lovers Of Beautiful Scenery Above is Red Mountain which will be clearly visible to those making the Twin Lakes trip. Off on the last hike of the term, Western college hikers will leave the =ampus early tomorrow morning to go into the Twin Lakes region of the Mount Baker National forest. Originally planned for a one-day trip, a majority of the trekkers are pfanning to remain overnight at the lakes. After a short two-mile hike to the lakes, students will have an opportunity to climb to Winchester Lookout (higher than Church.mountain) where Hank Reasoner; WWC student, is stationed as a fire warden, fish or swim in the lakes or take a pan tor a little gold sluicing. Dean McGee says that the fishing has been reported as "very good" while Dot Isaacs, veteran northwest hiker remarked, "The country seems more beautiful each time I,go." Tomorrow morning at 7:00 a. m. another boat trip will be made through the San Juan islands on the mail boat "Osage." The packet leaves from the Quackenbush dock. The recreation schedule for next week includes another industrial tour, tins time to the Bellingham coal mine on Tuesday, August 12, in the. afternoon.

Coleman WWC Library Job Resigning to accept a position as head librarian at George Washington college, Chestertown, Maryland, Henry E. Coleman, reference librarian, finished his work at Western Washington college this last spring quarter. "Coleman's resignation," said. President W. W. Haggard, "came to us last week from Kentucky, where he is vacationing." He is scheduled to take up his new work this fall. Coleman came' to WWC two years ago to succeed Charles Butler who, too, holds a position in the south. Previous to coming to Bellingham, Coleman had attended the University of Michigan where he had received the degree of mas-. ter of arts in library science in 1939. He also had attended Centre college, University of Carolina, and the University of nhnois/;||y, A successor to Coleman h r z^ yet been named. . ?t-;i gt; ; , Concert Pidni{^^ Here Tu^h^S^M Rudolph Reuter, concert pianist, will present a piano recital in next Tuesday's assembly. .

WHAT HAS HAPPENED to Western Washington college's memorial building committee? For months that structure to the right of the science wing of the mam building has stood there without any signs of activity going on. Has the national defense program held up some of the materials necessary? Have we run out of money? What has happened?—if anything. We think it is about time that the students of this college heard a report from the committee in charge of the memorial which is to honor the death of six WWC students. The monument as it now stands is just an ugly mass of unfinished material. Let s have something done about it. BEGINNING NEXT WEDNESDAY And extending through August 20, Western Washington college's annual SUMMER SALON of PHOTOGRAPHY will be held in the Art Gallery on the third floor of the main building. At last students, faculty and friends can get a glimpse of what all the camera fiends have been doing during this quarter. At last all may be seen. Pictures taken on the many recreation trips, pictures of Canada, Mount Baker, and the islands of the Sound; candid shots of students and faculty members; indoor photographic studies and many other kinds and types of pictures may be seen at this exhibit. This salon is sponsored by H'.'C. Ruckmick's class in photography but they aren't the only ones participating. All have been invited to submit prints. REMEMBER—it begins Wednesday. —Edited by Eric Phillips. CHALLENGE TO TEACHERS By Vf. W. Haggard The case book in civic education entitled "LEARNING THE WAYS OF DEMOCRACY," mentioned in this column last week reports an interesting survey of high school students' interpretation of democracy. Two thousand and six high school students in sixty-eight different classes of grades VII through XII in forty schools were asked to write brief statements of what democracy meant to them. The replies were anonymous and the papers were collected on the spot to avoid coaching. The statements were classified as follows: 1. Definitions of democracy in terms of rights and privileges —- 63% 2. Definitions in terms of responsibilities as well as rights and privileges 27% 3. Quotations of memorized statements 3% 4. Confused thinking or erroneous ideas 2% 5. Statements too vague for classification 3% 6. No answer - -••• 2% The above findings are challenging to teachers. If democracy means responsibilities as well as rights, it is evident that in many high schools the full meaning of it has not been taught. It is hoped that the high schools are improving their teaching of the meaning of democracy, Perhaps the elementary schools and colleges can improve their training in citizenship too. ^VALON WEDNESDAY to FRIDAY August 8—Friday "High Sierra" IDA LUPINO and HUMPHREY BOGART "Little Bit of Heaven" GLORIA JEAN and ROBERT STACK Friday and Saturday / /Bn a- dJ iM A an-'ii WALLACE BERRY and LARAINE DAY "The Great Lie" BETTE DAVIS and GEORGE BRENT GR ND Friday-Tuesday Student Prices / / ±-ii Out of the Fog' JOHN GARFIELD and IDA LUPINO Friday; August 1941 ABOUT THAT RIDE? m J i 'Singing Hills' GENE AUTRY and SMILEY BURNETTE WANTED—a ride to Spokane on August 22.

Ramon George, director of "Outward Bound," today possesses the painful knowledge that in order to descend steps properly one must do so—one at a time. Wondering how his cast had hobbled up and down the stairs leading from the seventh grade room to the back of the auditorium stage for two nights in a row without an accident, George decided to investigate last Tuesday just before assembly. No one had warned him of the weachery that lurked on the steep staircase.' In the seventh grade room below were props very vital to the dramatic director. It would be quicker to descend the steps to get them he thought and* he could also study the staircase at the same time. Unsuspecting the treachery of fate, he stepped on the first lift only to find it wasn't there. Nor was the second. In fact, none of them were there. He was falling through fifteen feet of space into the room below. Wayne Ensign, school. janitor, heard the crash and came to the rescue of the prostrate director. George is alive and.well today. "But I might have broken both arms and legs," he wailed, "What we need back there is an escalator." .•..'.•".;• j":' NAVIGATOR OFF PRESSES Fresh off the presses, the Navigator, official Freshman handbook, will soon* be ready for distribution. The Navigator, edited by Betty Rusher, is a compilation from the formerly used Openers, Blue Book, and Self Starter. The publication will be distributed the first weefc^ of school to all entering freshmen and transfer students. ; CLASSROOM FILMS SHOWN TO STUDENTS Films selected primarily for the visual education classes, but also shown to anyone interested are now being run in room 102 on Tuesdays •and Thursdays at 9:40 a. m. and 3:10 p. m. - During the past week two government films, "The" River".. and "The Plow That Broke the Plains" were shown; also some advertising films, "The Alaska Silver Millions,"v sponsored by the American Can company, and "From Trees to Trbunes" put out by the. Chicago - Tribune. On Wednesday a track coaching picture was shown. Next week examples of films for the primary level will be shown. These include "Bunny Rabbit," "Three Little Kittens," and "The Gray Squirrel." Some music films also will be shown such as "Brass Choir," "Symphony Orchestra," and others. During the last week of the school the films will cover elementary social studies. ;'Children of Holland," "Boat Trip," and "Colonial Children" are a few of the titles of the films to be shown. These typical classroom films are furnished by Washington State college and being shown here under the direction of W. H. Durr, who is finishing out the summer term of Lyle Brewer. £orum You know, fbiksf gum is one of the geatest thingf there is in this • world of burs. Yes sir, it is the one sure way tor tell man (woman, _ too) from the other animals. Ber sides this it can't be beat for its sticking quality. • ; . v :': Did you ever. go to a, very dull show or play, and yet have a rather enjoyable; time just'„ watching .'; your ' neighbors rand their - giim? Now, I really don;t mind people taking gum along with them for company, but it really isn't fair when they don;tr take it home with them* ..too. After all when you go some -. place ~ with' someone it hurts . your ^feelings to be forgotten and ••.left behind somewhere—So, think of the; poor gum! Did you-ever look under the as-semoly seats, or thei. desks in the different rooms? If you take time: to do this, you will find a surprising assortment there, (unless the poor janitor has taken time out to scrape it off). Of course there is one advantage of putting your gum under the seats—every one else doesn't have to look at it. Now another dumping ground around school for gum is the water foun- v tains. I could write a sob story about that, too, but I'm not going /to. But think to yourself-rdo you 'hike'to rush out of class or any- ' where else as far as that goes, and beaming with anticipation of the sparkling • cool. water around the corner and be suddenly faced with\ gum, gum, and more gum? (second- handed at that). Makes me feel queer, anyway, what .about y0U? ; ^ . XYZ. Reeve's Art Work Displayed Donovan Reeve, a student of WWC is represented in an exhibit of water colors and guache paint-lings now .being shown on the third floor of the main building. Much of the material,shown is made up of a variety of subjects from the, Northwest, especially Bellingham. As early as 1938 Reeve began searching out paintable material around Bellingham. A number of these earlier pictures are included in this exhibit and should be of interest to WWC students. Other sketching trips to the Skagit flats, the Olympic peninsula, and the Caribou country of British Columbia have added to the richness and variety of Reeve's work. - Through his friendship and sketching trips with Howard Jensen, now a commercial artist in New York City, and Lewis Daniel, a well known art teacher, lithographer and painter of New York City, Reeve gained much skill and insight into the possibilities of guache painting, a medium he is using almost exclusively at pres- '• ent.v ••....•'.- Ullin Shows Slides To Kiwanis as several of last summers most scenic trips.

August 8, 1941 SPORTS By Frank German A letter was found in our copy box last week which carries some items which we believe are worth printing. Some of the excerpts are as follows: Dear Sports Editor: ' % There are a number of athletes in attendance at school this summer who are making an effort to gain eligibility for football participation this fall. There has been much criticism leveled at such athletes who find it hard to maintain the high grade level required by this college in order to play ball. It seems that it isn't necessary to make so many cracks at the fellows who have capitalized on their athletic ability in helping themselves through college. In nearly every case they are not loafing. They have come to school to get an education. They might have been working and securing good pay but they have chosen education as their goal. This seems a worthy merit in itself. A Sports Fan You sports fans may take the letter for what's it worth. We are sure there are other opinions on the subject. Your expressions are welcome; just drop them in the Collegian office. • Is there going to be a shakeup in the coaching set-up of the Winco league? Last week we printed a story on the resignation of Red Reese of Cheney as football coach. This week the Campus Crier, official college|paper of Ellensburg, runs a story hinting at the possibility of a new football coach at that institution. However, as at Cheney, Nicholson will continue to work at the institution as athletic director and coach basketball and track. Homecoming won't seem natural without Leo Nicholson or Red Reese on the opponent's bench. But don't worry, fans, we are quite sure that Coach Charles Lappenbusch will be handling the boys in the blue and white come fall. • » Hal Jones probably served the shortest term of any Cheney head football coach. He lasted just one week. Hired last week by President Tieje of the Savage institution, Jones resigned this week to report for active duty with the army. Just who will coach the Cheney Savages was clarified last Tuesday when Jerry Stannard, former football coach at Whitworth college in Spokane, was hired for the job. Bobby Feller has passed his physical draft examination but the young Cleveland pitcher probably will not have to report for duty this summer... but what a pitcher the army will have next year. HAYDEN GIVES LECTURE ON PHILIPPINES Professor Joseph R. Hayden, chairman of the department of Political Science at the University of Michigan will speak in next Friday's assembly. The subject of his address will be "The Philippines: Still an American Problem." Hayden has done considerable work in the Philippines, having served as vice governor and secretary pf public instruction during a leave of absence from 1933 to 1935. He also has served as an exchange professor to the University of the Philippines. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa-fraternity as well as the Phi E | | | p a Phi, and Phi Gamma Delta.JpHayden was awarded the silver star citization by the secretary of the navy. Hoppe Returns From Mexico Returning from Mexico city last Friday, Victor H. Hoppe of the speech department, is now a t home at his residence on fourteenth street. Hoppe left on June 17 for Mexico. He went as far as Txco, Mexico, whch is 100 miles south of Mexico city. The trip home was made via the Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon, New Mexico, and the Mojave desert. Several days were also spent in visiting San Francisco and Los Angeles. Hoppe will take up his duties in the speech department on the opening of fall quarter. The play "George Washington Slept Here," by.Kaufman and Hart, authors of "You Can't Take It With You," is' now being considered by Hoppe for production during the autumn quarter.

Work on the memorial was begun last summer. Today m its uncompleted stage, it might represent a replica of the stone age being carefully preserved by the college. . . Until proper identification and publicity is given it, the memorial is as buried as those whose memories it stands for. Let's speed along this worthy service.

The local boys will attend the Seattle- Oakland game in the evening in the Sick stadium. - McAuley will start in the pitcher's box for the Vikings while Gudyka and his nothing ball will be in reserve for the rubber game. The Huskies won the first game of the series on the local field. Those making the trip to Seattle are Hugh Hassell Walt Bryski, Lyle Pettyjohn, Jack Bromley, Oscar Johnson, Jerry Connell, Stuart Fresk, Del Boulton, Leonard Rod-land, Ken McAuley, Ernie-Dzurich, and Coach Charles Lappenbusch. KLIPSUN UNDER WAY Staff members and photographers working on the 1942 Klipsun seem to believe in the old saying about the early bird and the worm. Work on9 copy and photography for next year's book has already begun. Graduation shots and several feature pictures already are on the complete list. Jane Hamilton, 1942 editor, will travel to Seattle this week to make contact with the Western Engraving company, engravers of the Klipsun. From them she expects to get new ideas of the 1942 annual. A new feature added to the Klipsun will be a section devoted to this summer school session. Washington Defeats Norsemen In Exciting Game Featured by the pitching and hitting of Bonney, Husky pitcher, the University of Washington Huskies defeated the Western College Vikings 7-3 in a softball game played last Friday on the local field in back of the PE building. This was t he first game of a home and home series between the two institutions. Bonney held the locals to five hits and contributed a homer with two men aboard in the sixth inning. Western took an early lead in the rence, the Husky shortstop came up with everything hit near him including a couple that looked like they were tabbed for several bases. WILSON ALL PURPOSE SPORTING EQUIPMENT Morse Hdw. Co. Established 1884 second inning when Dzurich singled and then stole second. Pettyjohn, next up, got on by a fielder's choice. Both scored later following outs made by Bromley and Fresk. The Huskies came back in the third inning on a triple by Fauss and an error that allowed him to score. From then on the game settled down into a pitching duel until the sixth when Bonney won his own ball game by hitting out a long homer, scoring two men ahead of him. It was Bonney's third hit out of four times at bat for the day. The Huskies scored two more runs i n . t h e seventh. Western got its final run in the seventh when Dzurich tapped out his third hit for the day and later scored. The game was featured by excellent fielding plays on both sides. Dzurich, Hassell, and Byr-ski came up with several good catches for"1 t he locals while Cla- STANNARD REPLACES JONES AS CHENEY COACH Clarifying the coaching- situation at the Eastern Washington college was the announcement made by President Tieje last Tuesday that Jerry Stannard, former football coach at Whitworth college in Spokane, had been named assistant coach. President Tieje said Stannard would replace Hal Jones, who resigned to report for active duty with the army one week after he was named coach. Stannard once played center on the Cheney football eleven and served as assistant line coach in 1934. Later, he became head coach at Whitworth, a position he held until 1940 when he left to take graduate work at Washington State college. Stannard will act as assistant to athletic director, Red Reese, for the 1941-42 season.

The struggle that goes on in the mess-hall every meal strongly resembles a. wildcat on a tin. roof in. a cyclone tryr. ing to cover up his tracks with feathers.

Munkres, now a forest protective service' guard, found a piece of wrapping paper on his way en route to the Canyon creek base after his first day on the search. He was attempting to rejoin three other searchers in his party at dusk last Saturday, the time of" his discovery. The wrapping paper, torn from a quantity of meat the boy had. been carrying, led to a box of matches farther down the steep, rocky inciine, then to the packsack and broken pack-board. Munkres spied the boy's body under a salmonberry bush into which he had rolled. Hank Reasoner, another Western Washington student, supervised the removal of the body Sunday. Twin Lakes Hike Beckons Student Lovers Of Beautiful Scenery Above is Red Mountain which will be clearly visible to those making the Twin Lakes trip. Off on the last hike of the term, Western college hikers will leave the =ampus early tomorrow morning to go into the Twin Lakes region of the Mount Baker National forest. Originally planned for a one-day trip, a majority of the trekkers are pfanning to remain overnight at the lakes. After a short two-mile hike to the lakes, students will have an opportunity to climb to Winchester Lookout (higher than Church.mountain) where Hank Reasoner; WWC student, is stationed as a fire warden, fish or swim in the lakes or take a pan tor a little gold sluicing. Dean McGee says that the fishing has been reported as "very good" while Dot Isaacs, veteran northwest hiker remarked, "The country seems more beautiful each time I,go." Tomorrow morning at 7:00 a. m. another boat trip will be made through the San Juan islands on the mail boat "Osage." The packet leaves from the Quackenbush dock. The recreation schedule for next week includes another industrial tour, tins time to the Bellingham coal mine on Tuesday, August 12, in the. afternoon. Tuesday evening a series of slides on the summer's trips will be shown in the college auditorium at 7:30 p. m. Coleman WWC Library Job Resigning to accept a position as head librarian at George Washington college, Chestertown, Maryland, Henry E. Coleman, reference librarian, finished his work at Western Washington college this last spring quarter. "Coleman's resignation," said. President W. W. Haggard, "came to us last week from Kentucky, where he is vacationing." He is scheduled to take up his new work this fall. Coleman came' to WWC two years ago to succeed Charles Butler who, too, holds a position in the south. Previous to coming to Bellingham, Coleman had attended the University of Michigan where he had received the degree of mas-. ter of arts in library science in 1939. He also had attended Centre college, University of Carolina, and the University of nhnois/;||y, A successor to Coleman h r z^ yet been named. . ?t-;i gt; ; , Concert Pidni{^^ Here Tu^h^S^M Rudolph Reuter, concert pianist, will present a piano recital in next Tuesday's assembly. .

WHAT HAS HAPPENED to Western Washington college's memorial building committee? For months that structure to the right of the science wing of the mam building has stood there without any signs of activity going on. Has the national defense program held up some of the materials necessary? Have we run out of money? What has happened?—if anything. We think it is about time that the students of this college heard a report from the committee in charge of the memorial which is to honor the death of six WWC students. The monument as it now stands is just an ugly mass of unfinished material. Let s have something done about it. BEGINNING NEXT WEDNESDAY And extending through August 20, Western Washington college's annual SUMMER SALON of PHOTOGRAPHY will be held in the Art Gallery on the third floor of the main building. At last students, faculty and friends can get a glimpse of what all the camera fiends have been doing during this quarter. At last all may be seen. Pictures taken on the many recreation trips, pictures of Canada, Mount Baker, and the islands of the Sound; candid shots of students and faculty members; indoor photographic studies and many other kinds and types of pictures may be seen at this exhibit. This salon is sponsored by H'.'C. Ruckmick's class in photography but they aren't the only ones participating. All have been invited to submit prints. REMEMBER—it begins Wednesday. —Edited by Eric Phillips. CHALLENGE TO TEACHERS By Vf. W. Haggard The case book in civic education entitled "LEARNING THE WAYS OF DEMOCRACY," mentioned in this column last week reports an interesting survey of high school students' interpretation of democracy. Two thousand and six high school students in sixty-eight different classes of grades VII through XII in forty schools were asked to write brief statements of what democracy meant to them. The replies were anonymous and the papers were collected on the spot to avoid coaching. The statements were classified as follows: 1. Definitions of democracy in terms of rights and privileges —- 63% 2. Definitions in terms of responsibilities as well as rights and privileges 27% 3. Quotations of memorized statements 3% 4. Confused thinking or erroneous ideas 2% 5. Statements too vague for classification 3% 6. No answer - -••• 2% The above findings are challenging to teachers. If democracy means responsibilities as well as rights, it is evident that in many high schools the full meaning of it has not been taught. It is hoped that the high schools are improving their teaching of the meaning of democracy, Perhaps the elementary schools and colleges can improve their training in citizenship too. ^VALON WEDNESDAY to FRIDAY August 8—Friday "High Sierra" IDA LUPINO and HUMPHREY BOGART "Little Bit of Heaven" GLORIA JEAN and ROBERT STACK Friday and Saturday / /Bn a- dJ iM A an-'ii WALLACE BERRY and LARAINE DAY "The Great Lie" BETTE DAVIS and GEORGE BRENT GR ND Friday-Tuesday Student Prices / / ±-ii Out of the Fog' JOHN GARFIELD and IDA LUPINO Friday; August 1941 ABOUT THAT RIDE? m J i 'Singing Hills' GENE AUTRY and SMILEY BURNETTE WANTED—a ride to Spokane on August 22.

Ramon George, director of "Outward Bound," today possesses the painful knowledge that in order to descend steps properly one must do so—one at a time. Wondering how his cast had hobbled up and down the stairs leading from the seventh grade room to the back of the auditorium stage for two nights in a row without an accident, George decided to investigate last Tuesday just before assembly. No one had warned him of the weachery that lurked on the steep staircase.' In the seventh grade room below were props very vital to the dramatic director. It would be quicker to descend the steps to get them he thought and* he could also study the staircase at the same time. Unsuspecting the treachery of fate, he stepped on the first lift only to find it wasn't there. Nor was the second. In fact, none of them were there. He was falling through fifteen feet of space into the room below. Wayne Ensign, school. janitor, heard the crash and came to the rescue of the prostrate director. George is alive and.well today. "But I might have broken both arms and legs," he wailed, "What we need back there is an escalator." .•..'.•".;• j":' NAVIGATOR OFF PRESSES Fresh off the presses, the Navigator, official Freshman handbook, will soon* be ready for distribution. The Navigator, edited by Betty Rusher, is a compilation from the formerly used Openers, Blue Book, and Self Starter. The publication will be distributed the first weefc^ of school to all entering freshmen and transfer students. ; CLASSROOM FILMS SHOWN TO STUDENTS Films selected primarily for the visual education classes, but also shown to anyone interested are now being run in room 102 on Tuesdays •and Thursdays at 9:40 a. m. and 3:10 p. m. - During the past week two government films, "The" River".. and "The Plow That Broke the Plains" were shown; also some advertising films, "The Alaska Silver Millions,"v sponsored by the American Can company, and "From Trees to Trbunes" put out by the. Chicago - Tribune. On Wednesday a track coaching picture was shown. Next week examples of films for the primary level will be shown. These include "Bunny Rabbit," "Three Little Kittens," and "The Gray Squirrel." Some music films also will be shown such as "Brass Choir," "Symphony Orchestra," and others. During the last week of the school the films will cover elementary social studies. ;'Children of Holland," "Boat Trip," and "Colonial Children" are a few of the titles of the films to be shown. These typical classroom films are furnished by Washington State college and being shown here under the direction of W. H. Durr, who is finishing out the summer term of Lyle Brewer. £orum You know, fbiksf gum is one of the geatest thingf there is in this • world of burs. Yes sir, it is the one sure way tor tell man (woman, _ too) from the other animals. Ber sides this it can't be beat for its sticking quality. • ; . v :': Did you ever. go to a, very dull show or play, and yet have a rather enjoyable; time just'„ watching .'; your ' neighbors rand their - giim? Now, I really don;t mind people taking gum along with them for company, but it really isn't fair when they don;tr take it home with them* ..too. After all when you go some -. place ~ with' someone it hurts . your ^feelings to be forgotten and ••.left behind somewhere—So, think of the; poor gum! Did you-ever look under the as-semoly seats, or thei. desks in the different rooms? If you take time: to do this, you will find a surprising assortment there, (unless the poor janitor has taken time out to scrape it off). Of course there is one advantage of putting your gum under the seats—every one else doesn't have to look at it. Now another dumping ground around school for gum is the water foun- v tains. I could write a sob story about that, too, but I'm not going /to. But think to yourself-rdo you 'hike'to rush out of class or any- ' where else as far as that goes, and beaming with anticipation of the sparkling • cool. water around the corner and be suddenly faced with\ gum, gum, and more gum? (second- handed at that). Makes me feel queer, anyway, what .about y0U? ; ^ . XYZ. Reeve's Art Work Displayed Donovan Reeve, a student of WWC is represented in an exhibit of water colors and guache paint-lings now .being shown on the third floor of the main building. Much of the material,shown is made up of a variety of subjects from the, Northwest, especially Bellingham. As early as 1938 Reeve began searching out paintable material around Bellingham. A number of these earlier pictures are included in this exhibit and should be of interest to WWC students. Other sketching trips to the Skagit flats, the Olympic peninsula, and the Caribou country of British Columbia have added to the richness and variety of Reeve's work. - Through his friendship and sketching trips with Howard Jensen, now a commercial artist in New York City, and Lewis Daniel, a well known art teacher, lithographer and painter of New York City, Reeve gained much skill and insight into the possibilities of guache painting, a medium he is using almost exclusively at pres- '• ent.v ••....•'.- Ullin Shows Slides To Kiwanis as several of last summers most scenic trips.

WB, W:x;Xr,m ---------- WWCollegian - 1941 August 8 - Page 4 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday. August 8, 1941 SPORTS By Frank German A letter was found in our copy box last week which carries some items which we believe are worth printing. Some of the excerpts are as follows: Dear Sports Editor: ' % There are a number of athletes in attendance at school this summer who are making an effort to gain eligibility for football participation this fall. There has been much criticism leveled at such athletes who find it hard to maintain the high grade level required by this college in order to play ball. It seems that it isn't necessary to make so many cracks at the fellows who have capitalized on their athletic ability in helping themselves through college. In nearly every case they are not loafing. They have come to school to get an education. They might have been working and securing good pay but they have chosen education as their goal. This seems a worthy merit in itself. A Sports Fan You sports fans may take the letter for what's it worth. We are sure there are other opinions on the subject. Your expressions are welcome; just drop them in the Collegian office. • Is there going to be a shakeup in the coaching set-up of the Winco league? Last week we printed a story on the resignation of Red Reese of Cheney as football coach. This week the Campus Crier, official college|paper of Ellensburg, runs a story hinting at the possibility of a new football coach at that institution. However, as at Cheney, Nicholson will continue to work at the institution as athletic director and coach basketball and track. Homecoming won't seem natural without Leo Nicholson or Red Reese on the opponent's bench. But don't worry, fans, we are quite sure that Coach Charles Lappenbusch will be handling the boys in the blue and white come fall. • » Hal Jones probably served the shortest term of any Cheney head football coach. He lasted just one week. Hired last week by President Tieje of the Savage institution, Jones resigned this week to report for active duty with the army. Just who will coach the Cheney Savages was clarified last Tuesday when Jerry Stannard, former football coach at Whitworth college in Spokane, was hired for the job. Bobby Feller has passed his physical draft examination but the young Cleveland pitcher probably will not have to report for duty this summer... but what a pitcher the army will have next year. HAYDEN GIVES LECTURE ON PHILIPPINES Professor Joseph R. Hayden, chairman of the department of Political Science at the University of Michigan will speak in next Friday's assembly. The subject of his address will be "The Philippines: Still an American Problem." Hayden has done considerable work in the Philippines, having served as vice governor and secretary pf public instruction during a leave of absence from 1933 to 1935. He also has served as an exchange professor to the University of the Philippines. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa-fraternity as well as the Phi E | | | p a Phi, and Phi Gamma Delta.JpHayden was awarded the silver star citization by the secretary of the navy. Hoppe Returns From Mexico Returning from Mexico city last Friday, Victor H. Hoppe of the speech department, is now a t home at his residence on fourteenth street. Hoppe left on June 17 for Mexico. He went as far as Txco, Mexico, whch is 100 miles south of Mexico city. The trip home was made via the Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon, New Mexico, and the Mojave desert. Several days were also spent in visiting San Francisco and Los Angeles. Hoppe will take up his duties in the speech department on the opening of fall quarter. The play "George Washington Slept Here," by.Kaufman and Hart, authors of "You Can't Take It With You," is' now being considered by Hoppe for production during the autumn quarter. FIRST in Values FIRST in Service FIRST in Quality Your NEEDS Are Our DEEDS The Students Co-op There's Work to be Done Between Edens hall and the main building sets this memorial to the students who were lost on Mount Baker several years ago. Work on the memorial was begun last summer. Today m its uncompleted stage, it might represent a replica of the stone age being carefully preserved by the college. . . Until proper identification and publicity is given it, the memorial is as buried as those whose memories it stands for. Let's speed along this worthy service. Softballers Play Huskies At University Again because of a last minute change of schedules, the Western College Viking softballers will play today with the University of Washington Huskies in Seattle instead of last Wednesday as was announced in last week's Collegian. The local boys will attend the Seattle- Oakland game in the evening in the Sick stadium. - McAuley will start in the pitcher's box for the Vikings while Gudyka and his nothing ball will be in reserve for the rubber game. The Huskies won the first game of the series on the local field. Those making the trip to Seattle are Hugh Hassell Walt Bryski, Lyle Pettyjohn, Jack Bromley, Oscar Johnson, Jerry Connell, Stuart Fresk, Del Boulton, Leonard Rod-land, Ken McAuley, Ernie-Dzurich, and Coach Charles Lappenbusch. KLIPSUN UNDER WAY Staff members and photographers working on the 1942 Klipsun seem to believe in the old saying about the early bird and the worm. Work on9 copy and photography for next year's book has already begun. Graduation shots and several feature pictures already are on the complete list. Jane Hamilton, 1942 editor, will travel to Seattle this week to make contact with the Western Engraving company, engravers of the Klipsun. From them she expects to get new ideas of the 1942 annual. A new feature added to the Klipsun will be a section devoted to this summer school session. Washington Defeats Norsemen In Exciting Game Featured by the pitching and hitting of Bonney, Husky pitcher, the University of Washington Huskies defeated the Western College Vikings 7-3 in a softball game played last Friday on the local field in back of the PE building. This was t he first game of a home and home series between the two institutions. Bonney held the locals to five hits and contributed a homer with two men aboard in the sixth inning. Western took an early lead in the rence, the Husky shortstop came up with everything hit near him including a couple that looked like they were tabbed for several bases. WILSON ALL PURPOSE SPORTING EQUIPMENT Morse Hdw. Co. Established 1884 second inning when Dzurich singled and then stole second. Pettyjohn, next up, got on by a fielder's choice. Both scored later following outs made by Bromley and Fresk. The Huskies came back in the third inning on a triple by Fauss and an error that allowed him to score. From then on the game settled down into a pitching duel until the sixth when Bonney won his own ball game by hitting out a long homer, scoring two men ahead of him. It was Bonney's third hit out of four times at bat for the day. The Huskies scored two more runs i n . t h e seventh. Western got its final run in the seventh when Dzurich tapped out his third hit for the day and later scored. The game was featured by excellent fielding plays on both sides. Dzurich, Hassell, and Byr-ski came up with several good catches for"1 t he locals while Cla- STANNARD REPLACES JONES AS CHENEY COACH Clarifying the coaching- situation at the Eastern Washington college was the announcement made by President Tieje last Tuesday that Jerry Stannard, former football coach at Whitworth college in Spokane, had been named assistant coach. President Tieje said Stannard would replace Hal Jones, who resigned to report for active duty with the army one week after he was named coach. Stannard once played center on the Cheney football eleven and served as assistant line coach in 1934. Later, he became head coach at Whitworth, a position he held until 1940 when he left to take graduate work at Washington State college. Stannard will act as assistant to athletic director, Red Reese, for the 1941-42 season.

Ike's School Topped in Tree AffairMembers of the science faculty werehighly elated recently to hear that Western is ahead of a biguniversity in at least one respect. In a recent letter from Fred Knapman, science professor on leave ofabsence to study at Columbia university, there was m e n t i o n that Columbia this spring had plantedtwo Meta-sequoia Glyptostroboides, more commonly called Dawn Redwoods. Reason for the elationwas the fact that Western has had three of these rare trees in its campus soil for over a year. The treesare a rare species thought to have inhabited this region in prehistoric times. Several fossils closelyresembling these trees have been found hear here by Western science students. Nothing was known ofthis species until 1946 when a Chinese botanist found several growing in central China. Seeds fromthem were brought to America and a group of colleges and universities on the west coast, includingWWC, are attempting to raise them. According to Miss Marie Pabst, s c i e n c e instructor, the trees seem to be doing well and have grown considerably since being planted. When full grown in about 90years the redwoods will be about 125 feet high and five or six feet in diameter. Western Selected asNext Convention Host Â» Next year's convention of student body governments of Evergreenconference colleges will be held on the Western Washington collge campus, Dick Pedersen and CharlesOdell reported after returning from the Evergreen Conference Students association *convention at Eastern Washing- Linfield Prof ' ton college, Ma y 11-12.

With Campus day and spring weather, the editorial-writing mood hasbeen elusive this week, and so we turn to a collegiate contemporary for this week's comment. The EastCentral State College Journal (Oklahoma) furnishes us a topic that seems close to home: At the first ofthe year we remember that stiffer requirements were made for the acquisition of teacher certificats in effort to weed out incapable teachers. We wonder if it has been successful. If it has, we wonder what a greatmany of the students at East Central will be doing after graduation. We're inclined, to agree with thosewho say i f s time to stop worrying about teacher shortages and begin to worry instead about the qualityof teachers we're turning out. Back in our high school days we can't remember knowing a teacher whocouldn't write a simple sentence with a noun and verb in it. There must have been some, however, if weare to judge the quality of students they turned out as representative of their own knowledge. It's morethan distressing to read through junior and senior compositions and find them full of sentence fragments,and know that these students will be teachers next fall. Do students who are faced with this troublerealize what a vicious circle they are entangled in? They don't know simple English because they hadteachers who didn't know it. Their students won't know English because they don't know it. Whose faultis it? Indirectly it is the fault of the colleges, not because they fail to teach sentence structureâ€”theyaren't supposed to but because they award teaching certificates to students who are not and never will be qualified. A great shortage ot teachers has resulted in an assembly line production by colleges, and theassembly line somewhere along the line leaves out vital parts. The new requirements are just ones. Lowstandards in college cannot be overcome until colleges start sending out qualified teachers for the publicschools. Can East Central look at her list of spring graduates and say they are better prepared thanthose who graduated last; that they show definite improvement? If not, it's time to re-examine ourstandards regardless of teacher shortages and low enrollments. Inventory of Attitude Tests Now BeingFilled Out Here By GLADYS FLAKUS Nearly 100 Â»WWC students this week are filling out Trial Forms I and II of an Inventory of Attitudes, under direction of Dr .Lucy Kangley. Another SO students will take a s i m i l a r questionnaire on beliefs. Nineteen colleges are participating by taking such samplings inorder to assist in a program sponsored by the Cooperative Study of Evaluation in General Education of the American Council of Education. These inventories are designed to find out how individuals believevarious kinds of problems, arising out of hihnan relations, should be solved. Each form consists of 60key situations typical of those which might arise in any person's life. A choice of five answers is given for each item in t h e questionnaire. Vocabulary is simple so that the same forms may be used on non-students and the results compared. The individual answering the form remains anonymous and will notknow how he compared with others in this survey; only his age, sex, and class status are given. Theanswer sheets are sent to Michigan State college at Lansing, and by next fall it is hoped the results in finished form will be available. Judges will choose.from these items a condensed list which bestmeets the criteria of valid tests. The shorter test will be of practical use in interviewing much largergroups. TO ATTEND WORKSHOP Participating in a workshop at Lansing, June 15-23 will be threeWWC faculty members: Miss Leona Sundquist, chairman of the science department; Harvey Gelder,mathematics department, and Dr. Maurice Preehill, research director. The workshop will beconcerned with the program of the cooperative study. Closely connected with this survey is thepublication late t h is month of the. book "Organization and Administration of General Education"edited by Dr. Hugh Stickler, dean in charge of general education at Florida State college. Included in it is material concerning WWC, organized and written by Dr. Kangley, from material procured fromPresident W. W. Haggard, Dr. Merle Kuder and others in the personnel department, the library staff,and Edward J. Amtzen, chairman of the social studies department. Viking Executives To Attend PSPAMeeting In Utah Student body president-elect Dick Pedersen and retiring prexy Eddie Hickenbottom willattend the Pacific Student Presidents' association convention May 23-26 in Salt Lake City, Utah. ThePSPA convention will draw student presidents from eight Western states and college leaders fromBritish Columbia and Hawaii. The main objective of the convention is to acquaint the new presidentswith problems of student government and to offer ways and .means of solving these problems. Thedelegates will have opportunities to hear well known speakers discuss such topics as studentjudiciary, union building administration, and orientation programs. Last year's PSPA convention was held in Yosemite, with Hickenbottom and Bill Jones, 1950 ASB president, attending from Western. Fifty-seven percent of last year's fatal accidents occurred during hours of darkness. WWdollegian Page2 Friday, May 18, 1951 New President Optimistic in Making Plans By BOB BOWMAN "We arelooking forward to a good year next year despite the budget slash." Dick Pedersen, ASBpresidentelect for the 1951-1952 school year, expressed his optimistic view of the coming term at apress interview. After discussing the immediate financial problems of the school, Pedersen waspersuaded to reveal some of the events of his life which eventually led to the WWC presidential chair.LIVED ON FARM Blonde, blue-eyed Dick was born in East Stanwood on April 18, 1930. His parents,who are of Norwegian descent, own a small farm near the city where Dick and his older brotherlearned the rudiments of farming. Pedersen went to Twin-City high school in Stanwood. While there he played football, baseball, sar% in the choir and became student body president. After graduation hewent to Everett junior college for one year where he earned a letter in football. Dick started hissophomore year at Western in the fall of 1949. Since that time he has been president of ICC, juniorclass prexy, elected to Board of Control, president of Daniels hall, Junior prom prince and listed inWho's Who *in American Colleges. Pederse^n's vocational life has been as varied as that of school. Hehas at various times been employed in service stations, as a weighmaster at a pea cannery, short termcompass man for a timber cruiser, and has worked on farms. SECRET AMBITION Singing isPedersen's favorite hobby. He has spent live quarters in the college choir. Sports announcing has long been his secret ambition. Dick is neither married nor does he have a steady girl. When questionedabout his preference in girls, he replied, "I'd hate to be quoted but I think I like blondes."' ' In addition tohis other presidential duties next year Pedersen promises to continue the weekly Fireside Chat inthe Collegian. The Fireside Chat has been a popular feature by this year's ASB president, EddieHickenbottom.

AT OTHER COLLEGES Nebraskan Shows I tPays to Advertise1; Gets Red Replies '. Joan Krueger, managing editor of the Daily Nebraskan, ran thefollowing classified ad in that newspaper: "Wanted: Communist literature or information leading toliterature or persons interested in communism. Write Box 1, Daily Nebraskan, Room 20, StudentUnion." The results were more far-reaching and hysterical than even Miss Krueger, who had insertedthe ad just to see what would happen, had anticipated. "This i n n o c e n t ad," commented t h eNebraskan, "has aroused the furor, fear and excitement of persons both on and off the campus. It hasresulted in threats, accusations, puzzlements and inquiries. "The author of the ad has been ridiculed,questioned and a few times praisedâ€”praised by a few because it actually proved that mass hysteriahas blanketed the nation." Answer to the ad were varied. One professor wanted to be helpful, but fearedhe would get in dutch with the administration. He declared he was willing to approach the head of hisdepartment, the dean of the college, the chancellor and even the state legislature to make certain hewould not be labelled "Red." A student appeared in person to ask, "What's going on? You cut that out or I'll take this up with the legislature." And a woman observed that young people at the University were not aware of the evils1 of Communism. Concluded the Nebraskan: " . . . Although the ad itself has been killed, perhaps it will give birfh in the reader's mind to a new ad reading: Wanted: A sane and sensiblenation regarding Communism. Although we must be cautious, there is no need for hysterical fear."MILLWORKER Teachers at the University of Pittsburg submitted to the University senate recently a"scorching" report an salaries at that institution. The report said that pay is far below national andlocal averages, and has lagged behind the raises in cost of living. It also pointed out that teachers are in danger of losing some extra income from summer school and evening classes because of the drop inenrollment. Teachers' base, pay, the report said, is now "lower than the average millworker's."Foundation to Give Eight Scholarships The Mark E.

State Supreme Court Justice to InterviewApplicants for $2IOO Law Scholarship Chief Justice E. W. Schwellenbach of the Supreme Court ofWashington has indicated that he will interview candidates for the $2100 per year Root-Tildenscholarship, offered by the New York university School of Law, in the Supreme court at Olym-pia onJune 16. Dean Russell D. Nile of N.Y.U. made the announcement. Dean Niles also announced thatthe time for filing applications for the scholarships has been extended to the end of May. Chief JusticeSchwellenbach will have as his associate R. V. Welts of Mount Vernon, president of the WashingtonState Bar association. The scholarships, named for two graduates of the school, Elihu Root and Samuel J. Tilden, will be offered each year to enable twenty young men, who show promise of becoming"outstanding lawyers in the grand American tradition," to attend the law school. Candidates chosen from Washington, will then be interviewed by a committee for the Ninth Federal circuit, consisting ofChief Judge William Denman and Federal Reserve bank chairman Brayton Wilbur, both of SanFrancisco, and Ernest Boyd MacNaughton, president of Reed college at Portland, Oregon. Under theplan devised by the dean emeritus of the school of law, Honorable Arthur T. Vanderbilt, now Chief Justice of the Supreme court of New Jersey, the candidates for the new scholarships will be nominated by acommittee, in each state, with final selections to be made by a regional committee in each of the tenFederal Judicial circuits, Dean Niles explained. "Candidates will compete for the scholarships," DeanNiles explained, "on a rating of one-third for potential capacity for unselfish leadership, one-third forextra-curricular activities, and one-third for scholarship. While the candidates must have goodacademic records, they must, in addition, exhibit qualities of character and personality which will enablethem to become honorable and effective members of the profession in the broadest sense of the term." Since 20 s c h o l a r s h i p s will be awarded each year and the law school curriculum covers a three-year period, it is expected that by 1953-54, the 60 scholars then enrolled will mark the greatestconcentration of non-governmental subsidized students in any school of law or government in thecountry. - EVERYTHING IN MEN'S FURNISHINGS Holly's Men's Shop 106 W.

Coach Joe Martin's charges dropped the first tilt by a score of 9 to 3, while the Seattle men wererapping out 11 hits in tying pitcher Spud Walley in knots. The big blow of the game was struck byJohn O'Brien who parked a two-run homer, his second of the day, over the left field wall. In thenightcap, Bob Lajala, a cool customer in the clutch, relieved Bob Hansen in the seventh, who aftertossing fine ball, walked the first two hitters to face him in the top of the inning. Lajala forced the first two batters to pop up to the ^infield and then promptly whiffed Les Whittle to end the threat and saveHansen's game for Western. LYNCH EJECTED The winning tally came in the fifth inning. With Chuck Hodder on first, umpire Al Brazas called a balk as left Jack Lynch was pitching to Spud Walley.Lynch was ejected to the showers after a wordy protest to Umpire Brazas., Hodder sprinted to. third onan infield out and later scored the winning run as Bob Scoll slammed a pup-up single back of first base.Bob Hansen, in tossing by far his best game this season, held the slugging Chiefs to three hits beforebeing rescued by Lajala.

WWCollegian Page 5 Friday, May 18, 1951 By MORT GRONSETH A new group of student leaders in the Evergreen conference schools met last weekend in Cheney. They pinneda long name on the group, Evergreen Conference Students Association, but according to all reports it will be a fast working group, acting to help the individual schools of the conference. This group, the ECSA,acts on matters of interest to the whole con-fernce, but this column's interest is in the action they took on athletics. MINOR AWARDS CHANGED There were two actions on sports, both to better things for theparticipants and spectators. The first was to change the minor awards, and lfave it up to the individualcolleges as to the sweater and letter to be on that sweater. According to director of athletics CharlesLappenbusch, all suggestions are welcomed and will be taken into consideration. ALL STUDENTSAFFECTED l The second action affects each and every student in the college. They are giving a"Spectator Sportsmanship trophy." This cup will be given each year at the end of basketball season. It isset up so the lettermen's clubs of each school will vote on the school that showed the bestsportsmanship during football and basketball season. The schools can't vote for themselves, and eachschool will give an alternate vote. This leaves it strictly up to each and every one of us to get in and pitch,keeping the booing out, and when our opponents make a good play, giving them a hand. The SpectatorSportsmanship trophy was proposed by our newly elected president, Dick Pedersen, who, with "Digger"Odell attended the conference meeting. i * * * FACULTY SWAMPED Faculty fastball coach BillMcDomald fell into the trap of a number of young coaches. "Mac" bragged up his ball club before thegame, thus giving his opponents a much bigger target to strike. There weren't too many strikes called onthe student team, as they buried the faculty, 15 to 6. The game was played under sunny skies, but therewere many cloijds in the profs' minds after the slaughter. HOPES EXTENDED We want to extend a hope for many points and a lot of good luck to Coach Ray Ciszek and his,boys as they head for theconference meet in Cheney this' weekend. Ciszek is only taking nine or ten men, but they should comeback with points, as there are some excellent runners and weight men in the group. A first or two wouldlook nice. * * * Searching Tidbitsâ€”The baseball team's win last Tuesday afternoon put a feather in theirotherwise rather drab cap. Seattle U hadn't been beaten all yearâ€”that was their 20th gameâ€”and pitcher Jack Lynch had a skeen of 12 straight college games on the winning side of the ledger. Both of thesestreaks were "busted," period . . .\Those who missed the games Tuesday missed one-of the coolest jobsof relief pitching of the year. Bob Lajala just went in and looked like Jim Constanty of 1950 . . .Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Larry Stephanâ€”another cheer leader for Western about 1969 . . .Evergreen conference athletic directors get together this weekend, and some spectacular things couldcome out of the conference. Picnic Ground At Lake wood Open for Use Lakewood, Western's lakeside property on Lake Whatcom is still available to student groups desiring a beautiful p i c n ic ground,according to Miss Ethel Church, secretary to President Haggard. Lakewood is owned by theAssociated Student body and may be used for student activities simply by gaining permission fromthe president's office. "It. is a shame that Lakewood is not used more often by the students," MissChurch stated. Located approximately six miles from the school, Lakewood is a nine-acre tract of land with a quarter-mile water front where students may enjoy swimming, boating, and other outdooractivities. In addition there is a large cabin with a fireplace where students may gather regardless ofthe weather. The boathouse at the water's edge contains three row boats which await the pleasure ofstudent oarsmen. Those who would rather swim will finll the sandy beach and the placid lake ideal forthat purpose. Tall trees provide shade for students who wish to lounge in the park about the cabin.With the arrival of warm weather it is hoped that student organizations and groups will takeadvantage of the fine recreational facilities offered at Lakewood.

Ike's School Topped in Tree AffairMembers of the science faculty werehighly elated recently to hear that Western is ahead of a biguniversity in at least one respect. In a recent letter from Fred Knapman, science professor on leave ofabsence to study at Columbia university, there was m e n t i o n that Columbia this spring had plantedtwo Meta-sequoia Glyptostroboides, more commonly called Dawn Redwoods. Reason for the elationwas the fact that Western has had three of these rare trees in its campus soil for over a year. The treesare a rare species thought to have inhabited this region in prehistoric times. Several fossils closelyresembling these trees have been found hear here by Western science students. Nothing was known ofthis species until 1946 when a Chinese botanist found several growing in central China. Seeds fromthem were brought to America and a group of colleges and universities on the west coast, includingWWC, are attempting to raise them. According to Miss Marie Pabst, s c i e n c e instructor, the trees seem to be doing well and have grown considerably since being planted. When full grown in about 90years the redwoods will be about 125 feet high and five or six feet in diameter. Western Selected asNext Convention Host Â» Next year's convention of student body governments of Evergreenconference colleges will be held on the Western Washington collge campus, Dick Pedersen and CharlesOdell reported after returning from the Evergreen Conference Students association *convention at Eastern Washing- Linfield Prof ' ton college, Ma y 11-12.

With Campus day and spring weather, the editorial-writing mood hasbeen elusive this week, and so we turn to a collegiate contemporary for this week's comment. The EastCentral State College Journal (Oklahoma) furnishes us a topic that seems close to home: At the first ofthe year we remember that stiffer requirements were made for the acquisition of teacher certificats in effort to weed out incapable teachers. We wonder if it has been successful. If it has, we wonder what a greatmany of the students at East Central will be doing after graduation. We're inclined, to agree with thosewho say i f s time to stop worrying about teacher shortages and begin to worry instead about the qualityof teachers we're turning out. Back in our high school days we can't remember knowing a teacher whocouldn't write a simple sentence with a noun and verb in it. There must have been some, however, if weare to judge the quality of students they turned out as representative of their own knowledge. It's morethan distressing to read through junior and senior compositions and find them full of sentence fragments,and know that these students will be teachers next fall. Do students who are faced with this troublerealize what a vicious circle they are entangled in? They don't know simple English because they hadteachers who didn't know it. Their students won't know English because they don't know it. Whose faultis it? Indirectly it is the fault of the colleges, not because they fail to teach sentence structureâ€”theyaren't supposed to but because they award teaching certificates to students who are not and never will be qualified. A great shortage ot teachers has resulted in an assembly line production by colleges, and theassembly line somewhere along the line leaves out vital parts. The new requirements are just ones. Lowstandards in college cannot be overcome until colleges start sending out qualified teachers for the publicschools. Can East Central look at her list of spring graduates and say they are better prepared thanthose who graduated last; that they show definite improvement? If not, it's time to re-examine ourstandards regardless of teacher shortages and low enrollments. Inventory of Attitude Tests Now BeingFilled Out Here By GLADYS FLAKUS Nearly 100 Â»WWC students this week are filling out Trial Forms I and II of an Inventory of Attitudes, under direction of Dr .Lucy Kangley. Another SO students will take a s i m i l a r questionnaire on beliefs. Nineteen colleges are participating by taking such samplings inorder to assist in a program sponsored by the Cooperative Study of Evaluation in General Education of the American Council of Education. These inventories are designed to find out how individuals believevarious kinds of problems, arising out of hihnan relations, should be solved. Each form consists of 60key situations typical of those which might arise in any person's life. A choice of five answers is given for each item in t h e questionnaire. Vocabulary is simple so that the same forms may be used on non-students and the results compared. The individual answering the form remains anonymous and will notknow how he compared with others in this survey; only his age, sex, and class status are given. Theanswer sheets are sent to Michigan State college at Lansing, and by next fall it is hoped the results in finished form will be available. Judges will choose.from these items a condensed list which bestmeets the criteria of valid tests. The shorter test will be of practical use in interviewing much largergroups. TO ATTEND WORKSHOP Participating in a workshop at Lansing, June 15-23 will be threeWWC faculty members: Miss Leona Sundquist, chairman of the science department; Harvey Gelder,mathematics department, and Dr. Maurice Preehill, research director. The workshop will beconcerned with the program of the cooperative study. Closely connected with this survey is thepublication late t h is month of the. book "Organization and Administration of General Education"edited by Dr. Hugh Stickler, dean in charge of general education at Florida State college. Included in it is material concerning WWC, organized and written by Dr. Kangley, from material procured fromPresident W. W. Haggard, Dr. Merle Kuder and others in the personnel department, the library staff,and Edward J. Amtzen, chairman of the social studies department. Viking Executives To Attend PSPAMeeting In Utah Student body president-elect Dick Pedersen and retiring prexy Eddie Hickenbottom willattend the Pacific Student Presidents' association convention May 23-26 in Salt Lake City, Utah. ThePSPA convention will draw student presidents from eight Western states and college leaders fromBritish Columbia and Hawaii. The main objective of the convention is to acquaint the new presidentswith problems of student government and to offer ways and .means of solving these problems. Thedelegates will have opportunities to hear well known speakers discuss such topics as studentjudiciary, union building administration, and orientation programs. Last year's PSPA convention was held in Yosemite, with Hickenbottom and Bill Jones, 1950 ASB president, attending from Western. Fifty-seven percent of last year's fatal accidents occurred during hours of darkness. WWdollegian Page2 Friday, May 18, 1951 New President Optimistic in Making Plans By BOB BOWMAN "We arelooking forward to a good year next year despite the budget slash." Dick Pedersen, ASBpresidentelect for the 1951-1952 school year, expressed his optimistic view of the coming term at apress interview. After discussing the immediate financial problems of the school, Pedersen waspersuaded to reveal some of the events of his life which eventually led to the WWC presidential chair.LIVED ON FARM Blonde, blue-eyed Dick was born in East Stanwood on April 18, 1930. His parents,who are of Norwegian descent, own a small farm near the city where Dick and his older brotherlearned the rudiments of farming. Pedersen went to Twin-City high school in Stanwood. While there he played football, baseball, sar% in the choir and became student body president. After graduation hewent to Everett junior college for one year where he earned a letter in football. Dick started hissophomore year at Western in the fall of 1949. Since that time he has been president of ICC, juniorclass prexy, elected to Board of Control, president of Daniels hall, Junior prom prince and listed inWho's Who *in American Colleges. Pederse^n's vocational life has been as varied as that of school. Hehas at various times been employed in service stations, as a weighmaster at a pea cannery, short termcompass man for a timber cruiser, and has worked on farms. SECRET AMBITION Singing isPedersen's favorite hobby. He has spent live quarters in the college choir. Sports announcing has long been his secret ambition. Dick is neither married nor does he have a steady girl. When questionedabout his preference in girls, he replied, "I'd hate to be quoted but I think I like blondes."' ' In addition tohis other presidential duties next year Pedersen promises to continue the weekly Fireside Chat inthe Collegian. The Fireside Chat has been a popular feature by this year's ASB president, EddieHickenbottom.

Editor...,,, ; ...PAUL GILLIE Business Mgr ELAINE DAVERIN LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By l i t er 'Noâ€”this IS NOT the Chem. Lab! AT OTHER COLLEGES Nebraskan Shows I tPays to Advertise1; Gets Red Replies '. Joan Krueger, managing editor of the Daily Nebraskan, ran thefollowing classified ad in that newspaper: "Wanted: Communist literature or information leading toliterature or persons interested in communism. Write Box 1, Daily Nebraskan, Room 20, StudentUnion." The results were more far-reaching and hysterical than even Miss Krueger, who had insertedthe ad just to see what would happen, had anticipated. "This i n n o c e n t ad," commented t h eNebraskan, "has aroused the furor, fear and excitement of persons both on and off the campus. It hasresulted in threats, accusations, puzzlements and inquiries. "The author of the ad has been ridiculed,questioned and a few times praisedâ€”praised by a few because it actually proved that mass hysteriahas blanketed the nation." Answer to the ad were varied. One professor wanted to be helpful, but fearedhe would get in dutch with the administration. He declared he was willing to approach the head of hisdepartment, the dean of the college, the chancellor and even the state legislature to make certain hewould not be labelled "Red." A student appeared in person to ask, "What's going on? You cut that out or I'll take this up with the legislature." And a woman observed that young people at the University were not aware of the evils1 of Communism. Concluded the Nebraskan: " . . . Although the ad itself has been killed, perhaps it will give birfh in the reader's mind to a new ad reading: Wanted: A sane and sensiblenation regarding Communism. Although we must be cautious, there is no need for hysterical fear."MILLWORKER Teachers at the University of Pittsburg submitted to the University senate recently a"scorching" report an salaries at that institution. The report said that pay is far below national andlocal averages, and has lagged behind the raises in cost of living. It also pointed out that teachers are in danger of losing some extra income from summer school and evening classes because of the drop inenrollment. Teachers' base, pay, the report said, is now "lower than the average millworker's."Foundation to Give Eight Scholarships The Mark E.

State Supreme Court Justice to InterviewApplicants for $2IOO Law Scholarship Chief Justice E. W. Schwellenbach of the Supreme Court ofWashington has indicated that he will interview candidates for the $2100 per year Root-Tildenscholarship, offered by the New York university School of Law, in the Supreme court at Olym-pia onJune 16. Dean Russell D. Nile of N.Y.U. made the announcement. Dean Niles also announced thatthe time for filing applications for the scholarships has been extended to the end of May. Chief JusticeSchwellenbach will have as his associate R. V. Welts of Mount Vernon, president of the WashingtonState Bar association. The scholarships, named for two graduates of the school, Elihu Root and Samuel J. Tilden, will be offered each year to enable twenty young men, who show promise of becoming"outstanding lawyers in the grand American tradition," to attend the law school. Candidates chosen from Washington, will then be interviewed by a committee for the Ninth Federal circuit, consisting ofChief Judge William Denman and Federal Reserve bank chairman Brayton Wilbur, both of SanFrancisco, and Ernest Boyd MacNaughton, president of Reed college at Portland, Oregon. Under theplan devised by the dean emeritus of the school of law, Honorable Arthur T. Vanderbilt, now Chief Justice of the Supreme court of New Jersey, the candidates for the new scholarships will be nominated by acommittee, in each state, with final selections to be made by a regional committee in each of the tenFederal Judicial circuits, Dean Niles explained. "Candidates will compete for the scholarships," DeanNiles explained, "on a rating of one-third for potential capacity for unselfish leadership, one-third forextra-curricular activities, and one-third for scholarship. While the candidates must have goodacademic records, they must, in addition, exhibit qualities of character and personality which will enablethem to become honorable and effective members of the profession in the broadest sense of the term." Since 20 s c h o l a r s h i p s will be awarded each year and the law school curriculum covers a three-year period, it is expected that by 1953-54, the 60 scholars then enrolled will mark the greatestconcentration of non-governmental subsidized students in any school of law or government in thecountry. - EVERYTHING IN MEN'S FURNISHINGS Holly's Men's Shop 106 W.

Coach Joe Martin's charges dropped the first tilt by a score of 9 to 3, while the Seattle men wererapping out 11 hits in tying pitcher Spud Walley in knots. The big blow of the game was struck byJohn O'Brien who parked a two-run homer, his second of the day, over the left field wall. In thenightcap, Bob Lajala, a cool customer in the clutch, relieved Bob Hansen in the seventh, who aftertossing fine ball, walked the first two hitters to face him in the top of the inning. Lajala forced the first two batters to pop up to the ^infield and then promptly whiffed Les Whittle to end the threat and saveHansen's game for Western. LYNCH EJECTED The winning tally came in the fifth inning. With Chuck Hodder on first, umpire Al Brazas called a balk as left Jack Lynch was pitching to Spud Walley.Lynch was ejected to the showers after a wordy protest to Umpire Brazas., Hodder sprinted to. third onan infield out and later scored the winning run as Bob Scoll slammed a pup-up single back of first base.Bob Hansen, in tossing by far his best game this season, held the slugging Chiefs to three hits beforebeing rescued by Lajala.
