During the summer, the Legislature amended the Sentencing Reform Act byincreasing seriousness levels of certain drug crimes for first and subsequent offenses. Persons caught in the manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to deliver cocaine, heroin or metham-phetamine,commonly known as speed, previously could plead first offense and received a sentence of zero to 90days in jail. Under the new laws, a first offense nets the offender 21 -27 months right off the bat. Anadditional 24 months is added if the offense took place within 1,000 feet of school grounds or a schoolbus route. "That's probably going to cover where a lot of students live," said Jon Komorowski, chiefcriminal deputy for the Whatcom County Public Defender's Office. Since Bellingham is such a smallcommunity, public defender David Nelson said, "You're going to find yourself within boundaries of aschool bus route just about everywhere you go." The length of an offender's prison time is determined by a scoring chart that assigns points based on prior felonies the offender committed, juvenile criminalhistory and other current offenses. Once out of prison, the offender must serve one year in communityplacement, which may be parole or placement in a halfway house. Both Nelson and Komorowski saidthey believed the law was meant to be a deterrent. "I think some people are going to be deterred,"Komorowski said. "I would be scared of 21-27 months in prison." Komorowski said key issues to thewar on drugs are law enforcement and education, doing away with root causes of drug use. "Withcollege students, it's a different situation than it would be for poor kids in the city, obviously," he said.Komorowski said the main effect of the new enforcement laws may be that more cases end up goingto trial. In that case, the incidence rate of plea bargaining may go up dramatically. Nelson said theLegislature was clearly doing what electors told it to do by passing the new law, but expressed hisdoubts on whether the legal system could support it. '1 don't see prison space to handle all this. Ifeverybody gets prison time, it's gonna get real ugly, real fast," he said.

A place where No waiting list forcampus housing liMliiiiiiilii â€¢ i i K8B3SSH mm emm Etsansi By JOELLE JOHNSON fall staff member Despite predictions that on-campus housing would be a hard commodity to come by fall quarter, a fewspots are available and no students are on a waiting list. "Housing is not really a problem for fall," said Linda Velenchenko, assignments and contracts manager for university residences. As they have inprevious years, Western's faculty and staff offered students without housing a place to stay temporarilyuntil permanent, on-campus housing was found. In the housing crunch last fall, about 3,328 students,roughly one-third of the campus population, lived in on-campus housing. In all, 47 percent werefreshmen, 24 percent were sophomores, 17 percent were juniors and 12 percent were seniors or above.Velenchenko said numbers for this quarter won't be available for at least three weeks. As of Aug. 17,140students were waiting for on-campus housing. Off-campus housing is scarce and going fast. See page21 Velenchenko said thirty-four students called and said they needed temporary housing, but wereimmediately put in permanent housing. She said many students cancel their housing applications.Velenchenko receives about two cancellations a day. Kay Rich, director of university residences,attributes lack of a waiting list to the new application process.

The Bellingham Education Association ended its 13- day walkout byvoting unanimously to ratify a two-year agreement with the district. The strike was the first publicteachers walkout in Whatcom County history. Students missed seven days of classes. The school yearhas been extended through June 21 to make up for the lost days. The new agreement gives teachers a7.4 percent pay raise this year and an additional 7.2 raise the following year. In the area of class size,both sides of the strike made concessions before the agreement was reached. Teachers wanted aspecific limit on class size. However, the new agreement contains language referring to a "good faith"effort to make class sizes more equal. Another change teachers wanted to see was in special education. Students enrolled in special education should be counted as 1 1/2 students because of the extraattention required to teach them, teachers said. Instead, the school district will set aside $150,000 forthe district's 17 elementary, middle and high schools. That money will be used to assist teachers whoseclasses included special education students. Also, a formula was devised to "weight" the money, withmore money given to schools with more special education students. District negotiators had originallydismissed the teachers proposals on class size and special education students. Administrators said ifspecial education students were counted as 1 1/2 students, the district would have to hire about 10 newteachers at a cost of about $376,900 a year in salary and benefits.

Additional medics needed next year Whatcom Medic One officials have asked for the addition offour paramedics next year to handle the increasing load of emergency service calls. The additionalparamedics would help provide 24- hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week response by three medic units. Thecurrent three units are on duty 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Only two units are on duty during the off hours. Officialsalso want to hire one more paramedic to be in charge of training programs, equipment purchases andquality-assurance programs. The extra paramedic is needed for training because Bellingham Vocational-Technical Institute dropped its paramedic training program last spring-the main source for Medic One'sparamedics. Funding for the program's proposed 1990 budget of $1.8 million would be split betweenpersons receiving Medic One emergency assistance and Bellingham and Whatcom County. DavidHammers, medical services officer for Medic One, told the Bellingham City Council in early Septemberthat hiring more paramedics would decrease the danger of burnout and a decline in the quality of care.Vietnam explored through art history The Whatcom Museum of History and Art's latest exhibit, "ADifferent War: Vietnam in Art," explores the impact of the war as it relates to American art history. Theexhibit features 106 works of art by 54 artists from the 1960s to the 1980s. Paintings, sculpture,photographs, video and mixed media constructions are included in the exhibition. The artists come froma broad range of experiences and viewpoints on the Vietnam War. Artists fall into four main categories:Artists of the 1960s and 1970s who were critical of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia; artists directlyinvolved in the war, artists who continue to reflect the personal aftermath of Vietnam; and artists who draw parallels between the Vietnam war and current social and political issues. "A Different War Vietnam inArt" is shown at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art through Nov. 12.

In an effort to better serve the campus parking community,Western's Transportation and Parking office has made changes in the priority parking permit system.1 The following improvements and changes were made to the existing parking lots on campus: * Cparking lots will be considered commuter parking lots (replacing last year's P lots) and R parkinglots will be considered residence hall parking lots (replacing last year's C lots). * Paving lots nearBuchanan Towers and Ridgeway. * Change of upper section lot 3P to a residence hall lot. * Change ofRidgeway parking lot 20P and the south section of 26P to residence hall parking. * Change of a free lotat 21st St. to a paid parking permit area for C and R permit holders. Implemented this fall for the 1989-90 school year, the new system gives priority to commuter students who each need a parking space inorder to attend classes. Residence hall permits were distributed on a seniority basis with seniorsbeing the first to obtain permits. The new system is a change from previous years when priority wasgiven on a first-come, first-serve basis to any student attending the university, said Ann Wallace,parking manager. "We looked at the students who have the most need for a parking permit anddetermined that students who commute have the most need, because they need their cars to attendclasses," she said. Students who live on or near campus don't have as much need for their cars oncampus, Wallace said. It's easier for them to find alternate modes of transportation to get to campus,which could include taking the bus, car pooling with roommates, riding a bike or walking. Wallace saidshe encourages students to "read the signs" to make sure they're parking in the right parking lot,because use of parking permits in the proper parking lot will be strictly enforced at all times.Students will be ticketed if they're parked out of their parking area. The penalties for parkingviolations remain the same, she said, ranging from $5 for a meter violation to $ 10 for no valid permitdisplayed and $100 for possession of a lost, stolen or forged parking permit. Upon returning to school,students have some leeway in the en- Convocation cancels classes Western's first-ever faculty-student convocation will kick-off the academic year at 11 a.m. Thursday in Carver Gym. All 11 a.m.classes have been cancelled for that day. "The purpose of the convocation is to focus attention on the serious side of the college experienceâ€” the intellectual challenges as well as the academicdemands that undergraduate study should signify," said Roland DeLorme, associate provost. Theprogram's theme is "Beginning Our Work Together" and features addresses by Western PresidentKenneth Mortimer and Associated Students President Kent Thoelke. Faculty members attend in fullacademic regalia. Administrators said the convocation should be as importantto the start of each schoolyear as commencement is to the end of the year. Freshmen and transfer students receive personalinvitations to attend the convocation, in an effort to make the new students feel a part of the campuscommunity. All other students and staff are also invited. For more information, contact the academicaffairs office at 676- 3754. The perils of parking on campus. forcement of parking permits, but only forthree days. Students will be given the opportunity to move in and get settled between Monday, Sept. 25and Wednesday, Sept. 27 and obtain and display their parking permits, but only if they park in lots 21and 26C. All other lots will be enforced during that time and those two lots will be enforced as ofThursday, Sept. 28. Commuter students also paid less for their permits, because with commuterpermits, they're not guaranteed a space in a specific lot. If one lot is full the driver has to move on toanother to find a place to park. Once a residence hall student obtains a permit, they are assigned aparking lot and have a pretty good chance of being able to park in that lot. However, "ho parking spacesare guaranteed," Wallace said. As aresult of this new system, no residence hall permits are available,except at Birnam Wood. A limited number of permits are still available for commuter students on a first-come, first-serve basis. One of the problems faced by the parking office is the need for evening parkingfor both professors and students who come back to study on campus at night.

"It's important to be accessible to thecommunity, but it can also create a problem for students," Wallace said. During evening hoursstudents can park in any V or G lots after hours without a permit, except lot 10G, which is reserved forfaculty and staff members. The lot is restricted to 10G permits until 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.Any G permit may be used in the parking lot from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Parents and other visitors to campus must obtain a guest permit, but may or may not be able to park in the lot nearest to the residence halldepending on the size of the lot and the number of spaces available. Residence areas such as Mathes,Nash and Ridgeway could pose parking problems for visitors, because of the limited spaces availablein those â€¢ parking areas. Students with outstanding parking violations also may be subject toimpoundment if they hold three or more parking violations. However, a student without a valid parkingpermit, who has only one parking violation, may also be impounded if that driver makes a habit ofobstructing the parking availability of other drivers with permits. If a vehicle is impounded, it is towedto Horton's Towing and Automotive Repair Inc., located at 1831 Racine in Bellingham. To liberate thevehicle from impoundment, the driver must contact the parking office on campus and pay anyoutstanding traffic violations. Upon payment of the fines, the parking office will authorize release of the vehicle to its registered owner. The driver must then pay the towing fee to the towing company to get the vehicle out of impoundment. In extreme cases of outstanding violations, the parking office may opt toturn the debts over to student. accounts. Failure to make a payment could result in registration delays or difficulty in obtaining transcripts. "We prefer people to park legally, because we can't accommodate cars forever," Wallace said. She added that the parking office is self-supporting and doesn't receivefunds from the state. All revenues obtained from the sale of parking permits and parking violationshelp pay the office's expenses. A N T I Q U E S B U Y .

Scott Williams, assistant programmer in the Computer Center. Thecomputer service brings the university on-line with other researchers, professors and students who are sharing ideas and information in minutes, or in some instances seconds, Williams said. Theuniversity became a member of NorthWestNET, a collection of regional educational institutions,government agencies and businesses in theNorthwest who pay a flat fee to join. The organization in turnis part of a worldwide grouping of networks which exchange information. About 180,000 groups andindividuals use the service, Williams said. The main advantage of the system is the quantum leapin time that is saved reaching others by mail, he said. "Any communication, if you have to write it, put a stamp on it and put it in the mail is a whole bunch different than sending a small file within seconds,"Williams said. Computer users in the past relied on a mailing system that worked, but was slow,Williams said. Mail was picked up and dropped off twice a day and sometimes took several days toreach its destination. Besides the trading and sharing of research, an electronic bulletin board will allowusers to write messages which promptly reach colleagues and friends. Williams said he anticipatesdepartments will make good use of the various services once school reopens. "It's one of the best things to happen to communications at Western since we got computers," he said. Faculty leader selected By DOREE ARMSTRONG fall staff member Chris Suczek, associate professor of geology, has beenselected as president of Western's Faculty Senate for the 1989-90 academic year. This is her sixthyear on the senate. As president of the senate, Suczek will head the executive council and preside overregular senate meetings. The Faculty Senate is the peak of the University government system thatspeaks and acts for all faculty. The senate receives input from committees on elections, finances,grievances and academics. The senate meets ever}' other week during the academic year. Last year,Suczek served as vice president of the Faculty Senate and as chair for the Senate Ad Hoc Committeeon Affirmative Action. She also has previously served as chair of the Senate Appointments Committeeand was a member of the Academic Coordinating Commission, the Instructional Chris Suczek Review Committee and the Legislative Roles Committee.

' I 'm happythey decided to give us our pay back," said Lt. Chuck Page, who has worked as a Western securityofficer for 21 years. Last July, the Board of Trustees voted to decommission university police,establish a campus security force and request Belling-ham police to patrol campus. The board'sdecision was based on the state's Department of Labor and Industries, which charged Western withallowing unsafe working conditions for campus police officers in denying them the right to carry guns.The Higher Education Personnel Board directed Western to reinstate the officers after they hadappealed their salary demotion since last September. Western has appealed the HEF Board decision,but it won't be heard until May 1990 in the Ta-coma Court of Appeals, said Assistant Attorney General Wendy Bohlke. Security officers won't receive salary reimbursements from Sept. 1,1988 to July 31,1989 until that appeal is heard. But the question aboutreinstat-ing security officers to police officers stillremains. In July, a Thurston County judge in Olympia ruled Western's security officers are entitled tobe upgraded to their former position, pending outcome of further court appeals, according to a July 11,1989 story in The Front. The court hearing scheduled Aug. 4 in Whatcom County Superior Court wascancelled. The question to go before the judge is: Should the officers get their former position whilethe cases are being decided? "I'm anxious to be recommis-sioned as a police officer," Page said.Meanwhile, Western relies upon the Bellingham Police Department to patrol campus and answer calls."We respond to calls at Western same as we do the city," said Lt. Dave Duthie. "If a student calls911, we send an officer." Duthie said two officers have been assigned to patrol Western's campus. Lastyear, only one officer patrolled campus. After the Board of Trustees decommissioned Western's police officers last summer, Western attempted to contract with the city for police protection. The request was denied because it violated state law which prohibits universities from contracting jobs historicallyand traditionally performed by state employees. Faculty, staff and students are all concerned about thelack of a prominent police force on campus. In a security questionnaire conducted last spring by KayRich, director of university residences, residence life staff were overwhelmingly in favor ofrecommissioning and arming security. Rich said in a June 20, 1989 memo to Vice President of Studentaffairs Saundra Taylor that she is concerned about the security of offices in High Street Hall and theUniversity Food Service. She said both offices handle cash and, despite following security procedures, feels employees' safety is jeopardized. In last spring's ballot referendum, more than 75 percent ofstudents were in favor of arming and reinstating Western's security officers. About 60 studentsattended the June 2, 1989 Board of Trustees meeting for a final plea to recom-mission the securityofficers. One student presented a petition signed by 600 students wanting the campus policeimmediately reinstated, but the trustees voted against re-commissioning the officers. "The students have really supported us," said Page, campus security spokesman. "Hopefully, with pressure from staffand students, (the administration) will reach a decision." | c | ^ j | p ^ Ili^Simthe^ l^a^bingto^ jp iege^Isecurity5 t gt;fficef|;v;:v|l;:v^ fDjmBtrat on ttie Seniate Higher E slaittee; said the le^is ffig);t^^ ii!S:?As^f|ehts;ffi^ as two examples of why college campuses need the linglyl|d^gbrpus situationsv" Sinithennansaid Â« Uhar^^ facing an armed suspectcan dp ^e^^li^^fe^j^d*ec t tjrkpjdMelYt^" or:'^txidents^ ^W-;"â€¢:"/ -; -.-v j1:;:S";;:J-;V:C:^J^/He n gt;a;; stvulent;.'

"We're trying to be aware of the range of needs and pick a site to best fit those needs,"said Taylor, who is working with George Pierce, vice president for business and finance, on the project.Pierce said, "In locating a facility, you have to be aware of the limitations (of Western's campus). Wedon't have much space." The Child Development committee formed last winter studied the amount ofspace the center needs and proposed locating the center in the bottom floor of the Viking Addition, butthat location proved unfit. "We thought the (Viking) Union would be ideal," Taylor said, "but then thereports came back about the structure." It wouldn't be possible to build there because the footings of the VA would not support it, she said. Taylor and Pierce narrowed site options for the center down to two.Taylor and Pierce visited the proposed sites to study parking options, traffic patterns, proximity of thecenter to classrooms and the kind of preparation to make the site build-able. One of Taylor' s concerns is relocating the center at a site accessible to classrooms not only for students with children, but alsofor education majors who may gain practical experience working and observing at the center. The newsite would include an observation room for students to watch the children without interrupting them.Having young children with students, such as in the current Fairhaven Day Care Center, is beneficial,Pierce said, and combining the center with a new housing unit is a possible solution. Once the site isselected and approved, the university's minor . capital budget has allocated $500,000 to build the center. Larry Macmillan.manageratthe center, hopes a new site will be picked soon. "Parents are anxious toget into the new facility," Macmillan said, "and Fairhaven students would like to have their lounge spaceback." Kent Thoelke, Associated Students president, said picking the location of the facility takestime, because it will change the look of the campus. Taylor said a decision for the new center should be reached sometime this fall. The current facility in Fairhaven limits the center's activities, Macmillan said. Additional space is needed to divide the children into smaller groups, according to their age. Lastyear, the Fairhaven day care served about 50 children, ages 2 through 5. The new center willaccommodate about 100 children. The new center will combine the AS Day Care and the WesternCenter for early learning. The Western Center, partly sponsored by the education department, works with children up to age 3 who are behind in their development. ---------- Western Front - 1989 September 25 - Page 6 ---------- Monday, September 25, 1989 PageA6 New office merges global students'groups By JILL NELSON fallstaff member George Drake, former special assistant to the president for international programs, hasrecently been named director of the newly-created international programs office. Given the fragmentationof the many university offices dealing with international affairs, the need for an international programsoffice was a logical step. The office centralizes information on foreign activities and contacts at Western. Drake's office coordinates efforts of Western's China Teaching Specialists Program, the foreignstudies office and supervise the international exchange programs at Western. The administrationof visiting scholars programs and short-term international visitors is part of Drake's responsibility. Drakeserves as a liaison between these programs and other international programs on the campus and inthe Bellingham community. Drake recently served as a liaison with Thailand's representative of alloverseas student exchanges. While in the United States, the representative visited a couple of IvyLeague colleges and Western. Drake used his knowledge that a Western faculty member's wife is fromThailand and put this information to work. The Thai representative was encouraged to find that thestudents would have a hostess that would help acclimate them to their U.S. experience. Now therepresentative wants to send some â€¢ of his students here. Drake has involved himself in Phonehookup a dial tone away in campus dorms The phone company is offering fast room service this year so Western students won't have to plop a coin down to hook up. Students can plug their phones into the existing jacks in the dorms, apartments or other on-campus residences, then dial 811, under theUSWest Communications plan. A message will tell callers of services available before being connected to a service representative who will complete the order. The number works between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.Mondays through Fridays, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Students also can call 911 in case anemergency arises before phone service has been connected. George Drake chats with internationalstudents. (Front file photo) many innovations in foreign relations for Western. "It took sheer chutzpah"getting Western's Beijing Foreign Studies Project going, Drake said. Drake was initially involved ingetting this and the China Teaching Specialist Program going. Drake said he felt he was chosenbecause of his background experience. He is a former U.S. Information Agency employee based inSouth America and has spent time in more than 30 foreign countries. He earned his bachelor's andmaster's degrees in sociology from the University of California at Berkeley with an emphasis on Asianculture. He later received his doctorate from the University of Wisconsin at Madison with a minor inLatin American Studies. Drake has worked at Western for the past 22 years in different capacitiesthroughout the university. Most recently he has worked as special assistant to the president forinternational programs since July 1983 and will still provide assistance in the university's properdiplomatic dealings. He also will continue to assist those interested in developing relations withforeign countries. "The basic goal for universities is to educate students," Drake said. "But in a worldthat is increasingly becoming interrelated, universities should educate students in becoming globalcitizens. To become good U.S. citizens we must learn to function on a global scale."

Not only do disabled students receive top priority in some cases forregistration, but they also are able to take any class they'd like to without a thought of where the classmight be taught or whether elevators are located in that building. If, for instance, a student in awheelchair needs to take a class in a building where no elevators are located, the student will still beable to take the class. If necessary, the entire class could be moved to a location accessible forwheelchairs, Bello- Brunson said. That way it gives all students a chance to take whatever class theyneed, she added. Blind or hearing-impaired students also are able to take classes with access totextbooks recorded on tapes and printed notes to help make learning easier. The Disabled StudentsCenter provides the following services for students: â€¢ Counseling and advising services to help newstudents feel comfortable in the campus environment. â€¢Priority registration for disabled students.â€¢ A reading service to help students in the classroom. â€¢Evaluation by Learning Disabled Students Coordinator Dorothy Crow to determine the extent of a student's disability and how the center can helpin the learning process. â€¢ A support group for students that allows disabled students to talk with theirpeers. â€¢Being able to order Braille textbooks from the Washington Regional Library for the Blind inSeattle for use by students. Bello-Brunson added that the center's work in helping students withdisabilities is "self-identifying" in that students who need help need to be aware of the services availableand seek them out. "We won't know how many disabled students there are on campus until theycome to us and let us know," she added. Last fall, more than 140 disabled students were registered forclasses. Even though elevators are accessible in some housing residences on campus, not allresidence halls are accessible for wheelchairs, said Linda Velenchenko, Assignment Manager ofUniversity Residences. Wheelchair accessibility is available in Nash hall and Birnam Wood, but not inMathes, Edens Hall, Buchanan Towers or4?airhven, because those residence hlls don't house thefacilities necessary for someone in a wheelchair. Birnam Wood offers two four-person apartments andNash offers six double and single person rooms to accomodate mobility impaired students, Velenchenko said. Mortimer unveils new strategic blueprint for campus By DOUGLAS BUELL fall staff memberWestern President Kenneth Mortimer's piecemeal blueprint for the university's future focuses on short-term gains while keeping long-term goals not far from reach. The president's strategic planningcommittee, which launched a year-long effort Friday, said they are confident that with this approachsome needs will be assessed and likely met as the school enters the 1990s. In a statement, thepresident said cutbacks in federal and state money to support higher education have forced manyuniversities to seek other ways for spending on state financial aid, instructional programs andmaintenance of campus buildings. He also noted as the elderly population continues to climb andminorities fill a larger share of class roll sheets, schools will need to modify their approach to planning forthe future. The committee's objectives in shaping Western's future include: â€¢ Improving the equality of undergraduate education at Western. â€¢ Enhancing the experiences of students and faculty withdiversity. â€¢Strengthening Western's relationship with the community. â€¢Improving the university'sfiscal flexibility. George Pierce, committee member and vice president of Business and Finance,said, strategic planning has been effective at Seattle University where he worked before coming toWestern in July. The private university 18 months ago focused attention with successful results onacademic programs, sought enrollment increases and discussed ways to reach a broader population of potential students. Because strategic planning is just getting under way at Western, specificshave not been discussed. Pierce, addressing the position that the Western committee will take, said,"My suspicion is we'll decide to pursue short-term goals to prepare for programs that we need time to set u p ' Decisions made by the 12-mem-ber committee chaired by Les A. Karlovitz, vice president ofacademic affairs, will help decide the direction the school will move in realizing its objectives while taking into consideration the changing aspects of higher education and society. Mortimer called this aninnovative management style patterned after George Keller's approach in his book, "AcademicStrategy: The Management Revolution in Higher Education." The method emphasizes decision-making rather than depending on documented plans, analyses and forecasts. DeLorme said theuniversity needs to point out its strengths such as Huxley College, the regional archive facility and thehistory and geology departments, and provide them with' further financial support. The committee hosteda workshop Friday, inviting 150 politicians, campus leaders, and business and community membersto discuss the relationship Western has with Belling-ham. "Obviously, we can learn a lot about thepolitical, sociological and economic aspects of the area," he said.

The new two-story building, slated for completion in 1992, is the first archive funded with $9.5 million the Legislatureappropriated last spring for the construction of three regional archive buildings. Central and Eastern arethe other Washington universities to house a regional archive. This first $3 million facility, planned forconstruction on the southwest corner of 25th Street and Bill McDonald Parkway, will more than triple theamount of space available at Western's current archive housed in the Commissary Building, Mooresaid. It also will offer efficient storage, receiving and processing areas, a reception/exhibit area,administrative offices, a research room, microfilm and copying equipment, fire and security systems,and a document conservation lab. "To our knowledge, this first building at Western will be the firstregional â€” complete, stand alone â€” archival building in the state of Washington and the UnitedStates," Moore said. Western has housed a regional branch of the state archives since the early 1970s,when centers also were established at Eastern and Central Washington universities, and in Burien.The state archives office, one of three divisions of the Secretary of State's office, is headquartered inOlympia. For the past four years, the archive at Western has been out of space, stacking incomingrecords on pallets and shelving books three deep on most stacks, Moore said. When Secretary of StateRalph Munro, a Western graduate, became aware of the problem in 1986, he requested a study, whichwas prepared by Professor James Rhoads of Western's history department. Facilities were identifiedas the number-one need for all of the regional archives. In addition to the lack of space, Moore said, theregional archive is dusty and noisy, "falling, in almost every respect, well below the standards that havebeen adopted by the profession." Scholars, professors and students, are some of the primary users ofarchives. "I think we've validated the usefulness of these facilities in association with universities," Moore said. Life as an archivist. See related story on page A27 "What we're talking about here is a building to house records that are owned by the citizens," he said. "The real benefit is to the students and faculty.You regionalize these records that would have been taken to Olympia â€” they're within striking distanceand they're all here. The student doesn't have to run all over to the courthouses and down toOlympia." Other users include government officials and staff, attorneys, legislators, genealogists,historians, land-use investigators, artists, illustrators and writers. Moore anticipates the frequency ofon-site use will increase after completion, of the new facility An average of 12 users now walk throughthe door weekly, with as many phone calls or letters requesting information each week.

Sylvester is anEnglish professor, heads the Writing Fellows program at Western and is in charge of administeringthe JWE. Most professors' office doors have cartoons, clever quotations or interesting news posted.Not Sylvester's. Hers is peppered with informational brochures about the JWE. Her initial response toquestions about the JWE is to hand out a four-page pamphlet giving background information on it. "A lotof the students say, 'It does not matter.' This is not true." Sylvester said the JWE came out of facultyconcern about poor writing by students. She said one Western graduate wrote to the Bellinghamcity council in 1981. The letter was so poorly written the councilmember bled red ink all over thegrammatical and stylistic mistakes and sent it on to the president of Western. "We were receivingconstant complaints from the faculty and businesses in Bellingham (about inferior writing by Westernstudents and graduates)," Sylvester said. The Academic Coordinating Committee (ACC), composed offaculty, decided something had to be done. Not only was there concern at Western, but college writingwas increasingly becoming a national nightmare, Sylvester said. Research on students' writing skillsshow what was learned in a freshman English composition class was forgotten, for the most part, after a couple of years. "They lose some of their facility to write unless they write throughout college and getfeedback, which does not typically happen," Sylvester said. She said a study published last year askedgraduates what they would do differently if they could go back and take college again. "More writing wasthe overwhelming answer," she said. Sylvester said her son-in-law, wanting to become a lawyer,asked nine different lawyers what they suggested for a major. "Eight out of the nine said English.Medical school requires applicants to write an essay as part of an entrance exam. Seventy percent ofaccounting work is writing up reports. The JWE is not an out-of-the-blue notion by Western," Sylvester said. The ACC decided a writing-intensive class was needed. This class would require students towrite at least two papers during the quarter and the students were to receive constant feedback with theopportunity to rewrite the papers before the final grade. Seventy-five to 100 percent of the final gradehad to be based on these papers. The committee believed "you cannot separate writing andknowledge, and this would be a chance to work within the student's major," Sylvester said. Thereason the writing-intensive course must be an upper division class is because many students transfer out of Western after two years, and a high percentage of Western's graduates transfer in for their lasttwo years. To have any impact on most of Western's graduates, the writing-intensive class had to takeplace in their junior, or senior year, Sylvester said. "You do have to take one (a writing-intensive class). It is a graduation requirement," she said. The JWE came about because students taking these required writing classes were not making the grade. Tom Read, chair of the math department, said, "The firstyear or so that we had the writing-intensive classesâ€”before the JWEâ€”some students were notequipped and there was not much we could do. It is unreasonable for profs to have to teach beginninggrammar." Read said the purpose of the writing-intensive classes is to train students to write well in thecontext of their own field. "It is intensive for both students and the instructor. It is important that thestudent is prepared to profit from . such an experience. If they are not ready to take it, they shouldn't," he said. The JWE came out of faculty concern that students receive remedial help, Sylvester said.Sylvester compares the difficulty of the exam to the high school Test of Standard English. Forty-fiveitems ARCHIVES Continued from page A8 their other requests," Moore said. The regional archive,serving seven counties, also shares its facility with three Western-based programs: â€¢ UniversityRecords Center and Archives store outdated student, administrative and academic records that stillneed to be kept. â€¢ The Center for Pacific Northwest Studies collects materials from non-govemmentalsources in the same seven-county area as the regional archive. â€¢ The Archives Administration andRecords Management graduate program provides needed regional archive part-time staff, who gainpractical experience as part of their archival training. The regional branch in Bellingham collectsrecords from county courthouses, city halls and other governmental agencies located in Whatcom,Skagit, San Juan, Island, Snohomish, Jefferson and Clallam counties. The records are important,Moore said, because they document man's experience over time. "Without waxing too philosophical, Ithink the best evidence is found in the contemporary records of the time." are in the grammar portion ofthe JWE, and a score of 50 percent or better receives a passing grade. A written part also is included.The student is given a passage to read and then asked to summarize it. " The summary is the mostbasic skill of college students, and we are only looking for basic 50 percent competency in the examand written sample," Sylvester said. Currently, only the math and education departments will not allow students who have flunked the JWE to take their writing intensive class. "Students sometimes do nottake it seriously, yet all the results are tabulated by major. The results are listed on the class list for thewriting-intensive class and also sent to the department chair. Someone in administration also has atabulated list by department. It is serious business," Sylvester said. Sylvester recommends to thosewho fail that they go to the testing center for further testing to determine if the exam results are correct. If students are found to be deficient in their writing skills, they are 'encouraged to take a lower levelEnglish class. Upon successful completion of the class, they need not take the JWE, but are thenexpected to be ready for the writing-intensive class, Sylvester said. Sylvester said she wonders ifstudents perceive that the test is for their own benefit. She said it is disillusioning when students willnot cooperate with a teaching tool set up to help them succeed when they reach "the real world."SAMISH WAY TEXACO 130 Samish Way Next to Burger King TEXACO r NORTHWEST RUR5ERSTAMPS Phone Mail Orders Welcome One Day Service On Most Stamps N STAMP | IT | IMatthew Thuney 1230 Bay Street | V206) 733-0377 Bellingham, WA 98225^ 10% Off Expires 10/31/89CONVENIENCE STORE OPEN 24 HOURS All Self Serve *Welcome Back Students* FEATURINGâ€¢Sandwiches 'Beer -Pop 'Groceries â€¢Gas 'Diesel -Oil 'Antifreeze Drop by our convenience store __and check out our specials Henry Weinhard Ale Light 6 pack bottles $3.79 Pepsi Coke 2 literbottles $1.69 6 pack cans $2.29 A WHALE OF A PLACE TO "SUDS YOUR DUDS" 141412TH"Historic Fairhaven" 734-9647 "The University Side of Town" *Now Featuring* Overnight Film Service By SPINNAKER ---------- Western Front - 1989 September 25 - Page 10 ---------- Monday, September 25, 1989 PageMO Bookstore recognizes right to read By DOUGLAS BUELL fallstaff member Censorship groups may want to skip over the latest book display at Western, which brings together several works they've sought to ban from shelves. The Associated Students Co-opBookstore is showcasing a miscellany of these books as part of Banned Books Week 1989 â€”Celebrating the Freedom to Read. The display opened Monday morning. Here are some of the booksthat have come under fire by book-banning groups because of content considered sexual, racist,satanic or profane: Salman Rushdie's novel, "The Satanic Verses," reportedly contains passages soinsulting to followers of the Muslim religion that it led to death threats against the author. ShelSilverstein's book, "The Giving Tree," was taken from a locked reference room because it is described as sexist. John Steinbecks's classic, "Of Mice and Men," was challenged by a citizen's group in theSedro-Wool-ley School District about 30 miles south of Bellingham because it contains profanity. Inthe last few years 19 communities in Washington have challenged or banned books, said VickieWhite, general book manager. White said of the display, "It'll be an eye-opener for some students whenthey see these books they read in high school and discover that people want to block access to them."White said the bookstore believes that Americans support a basic right to read guaranteed in the FirstAmendment in the U.S. Constitution, and thus is participating in the event. Among other works, JimDavis' "Garfield: His Nine Lives" was labeled inappropriate reading for children and moved to theadult section of the public library in Saginaw, Mich. The Rockford, 111., schools banned "TheAdventures of Huckleberry Finn" because of reportedly racist language; and most recently, Pat Conroy's"The Prince of Tides" was challenged in schools because it is dismissed as "trashy pulp pornography."Book-banning appears to be on the rise again, and has particularly Where's the party?

Effective July 1, 1989, people purchasing kegs mustcomplete keg registration forms containing a sworn statement that the purchaser will not allowminors to consume the alcohol. The registration stickers are affixed to the keg and the purchaser is required to provide the seller with the address of where the alcohol will be consumed." : The seller isrequired by law to keep a copy of the keg registration form on file for at least one year. Any law or liquorenforcement officer can inspector copy those registration forms at any time. Bob Lansworth, a liquorcontrol agent for Bellingham's Liquor Control Board Enforcement Office, said the idea for kegregistration has been brewing for several years. Whatcom County previously had a keg ordinance, butthe city of Bellingham did not. In theory, the new registration law is designed to cut down on under-age drinking, Lansworth said. The new law makes it the responsibility of the purchaser of the keg tomake sure no minors consume the alcohol. "If there's a problem in the woods out here, the person who's name is on the sticker on the keg is responsible," Lansworth said. According to the law, it is amisdemeanor to remove the sticker from the keg. Tavern owners must check identification ofpurchasers and fill out the registration sticker plus a receipt for their own records. He added that manytaverns kept records of keg purchases previous to the new law. Lansworth said he didn't know howeffective the new law would be on a college campus. "It is a fact of life, I guess, that people in auniversity tend to have a beer now and then," he said. "(The law) is another tool to control things ifthere's a problem." r SUCCESS I in all endeavors is created through peace of mind, strength of will,physical vitality, mental clarity, and relaxed self-confidence.

Despite state statistics that say alcohol use at Western is decreasing, Giddingssaid abuse of alcohol remains a primary concern for everyone in the campus community. The center conducted a study during spring quarter on student nse of alcohol and drugs but results will not beavailable for several weeks. According to the center's 1985 study, Western scored right in the middle ofnational averages for students using alcohol or drugs. On average, 90 percent of all college students use or have used some substance, with alcohol use being number one. Giddings said many of thosestudents are using alcohol in an "appropriate" manner. "They're not getting drunk, they're not causingproblems," she said. However, she said, many students do abuse alcohol. Giddings' job is to helpthose with alcohol problems, but many times students won't admit or don't even realize they have aproblem. "We're seeing a lot of people who think they don't have a problem," Giddings said. Sheexplained that some people can sit down in front of the television and put away a case of beer in threehours. "How can anybody drink that much liquid, much less alcoholic liquid?" Giddings said. Thesekinds of drinkers usually have built up a high alcohol tolerance over a period of time, she said.Oftentimes, student's drinking habits are learned from parents or friends, she said. "It's often availableopenly in the home," she said. In high school, many students succumb to peer pressure and begindrinking. "Often they're in a peer group where it's very socially acceptable" to drink, she said. Giddingssaid some students see college as a "cushion" because alcohol may be easier to obtain than it wasin high school. While some of the first signs of a problem with alcohol may be a M.I.P. (minor inpossession) or a D.W.I, (driving while intoxicated), Giddings said, "On a college campus it's very difficultto get those things happening. Police don't usually come on campus to give those citations." And ifyou stay on campus and drink in your dorm room or apartment, you won't get a D.W.I., she added."We're seeing a lot of people who think they don't have a problem." - Elva Giddings Giddings said theage between 18 and 21 is a critical time in terms of decisions and responsibility suddenly thrust upon aperson. Giddings said "many people just don't get it," â€” meaning they don't understand the concept ofresponsibility. She said many 18-year-olds consider themselves "adults" but don't yet have the lifeexperiences to back that up. By the time someone is 21, they're more attuned to thinking about safetyissues, for themselves and others, she said. _ Giddings said alcohol is the number-one killer of adultsaged 18 to 24 years. "That's because it's so involved in accidents," she explained. "(Western) is a fairlysafe physical atmosphere. When you're looking at fairly intelligent, active, healthy people, what else is going to happen except being dumb," she said. Students could fall off a balcony, down the stairs orstagger into the street while under the influence of alcohol, Giddings said. She explained states whichraised the drinking age from 18 or 19-year-old to 21, have seen the rate of accidents and deathsrelated to alcohol markedly down. Giddings said many students that come into the center justify drinking by saying they like the taste of alcohol. This is understandable, Giddings said, "But is liking the taste an excuse to use to excess?" Giddings is concerned with the high rate of alcohol consumption incollege, because many students run the risk of dependence. And if a student has inherited the disease of alcoholism, they are four to five times more likely than someone else to become an alcoholic. WhatGiddings stresses to these students is that "they were not born with a drink in their hand. It's a choice.Students with a propensity toward addiction should tell themselves, "I know I can't drink alcohol so I'm not going to," Giddings said. She added that 96 percent of all alcoholics will eventually die if they don'thave treatment. "People who are alcoholic don't die of old age. If they don't die of alcoholism they oftendie of some kind of accident," she said. "Alcoholism is a fatal disease. That's the bottom line." Giddings said she is particularly concerned because alcohol is often a pre-cursor to other drugs. And it's rare tofind someone with a serious substance abuse problem who abuses only one substance. Five to eightpercent of college students are dependent on alcohol, she said. While that figure is lower than thegeneral population average of 10 percent, Giddings said it is because many people with dependenciesdon't make it into college. "The people who are dependent often don't have the concentration required incollege. That's what keeps them out of a system like this," she said. When a student does come intothe Substance Abuse Prevention Center, Giddings said it is often because they have drunk themselvesto a point where they know they need help now. "Just suddenly it feels like the roof's falling in. (They've)parried for so long they just let everything slide," she said. Giddings said two support pro-, grams areavailable for those affected by alcohol. Adult Children of Alcoholics is run through the counselingcenter and helps someone come to terms with the disease and how to help those who have it. Anotherprogram is ADAPT, and is a support group emphasizing early recovery. The center also is puttingtogether a social group that will concentrate on activities outside of drugs or alcohol. The group willconcentrate on social skills without drinking, Giddings said, because many students substitutealcohol as then-only social skill.

Lindquist said the office usually is busy allday, but the slowest business hours are at 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. The post office is open 8:30 a.m. to2 p .m. Monday through Friday and is closed on Saturday and Sunday. In addition to selling stamps, the post office "does everything the regular post office does" with the exception of express mail. The campus post office certifies, registers, insures, issues return receipts and fills out money orders and customforms. Mail is picked up daily at the mail box in front of the bookstore at 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. and ispicked up inside at 2:30 p.m. Cheaper rates are available for mailing books, which cost 90 cents for thefirst pound and $1.25 for additional pounds. It costs $2.40 if the books go first class. If sent to the sameaddress, books in special bags cost only 72 cents per pound with a minimum of 15 pounds andmaximum of 66 pounds for the package. For overseas packages, rates also are cheaper if they are sentby boat. "There are some conservative ways to send mail and not spend a lot of money. I try to letstudents know the ways to save money, because we're not in this business to make money," Lindquistsaid. One of the added expenses of overseas mail is if packages are sent with a letter inside thepackage. The packages are required to go letter package and cost more. Anyone mailing overseas isencouraged to mail the letter separately to save money, she said. However, the post office doesn'taccept checks or Canadian money. American cash is the only money accepted, because the post office downtown doesn't have time to sort through the Canadian money or to make sure if the checks writtenare good for the amount. Under United States Postal regulations, packages are not to be sealed withscotch or masking tape and should be sealed with regular postage tape. Lindquist enjoys her job andlikes meeting new and different people every day. She has often had to help foreign exchange studentsfigure out how to mail packages overseas. Not all exchange students speak English and often Lindquisthas found herself trying to teach a little bit of the language to the students who need it. Meanwhile, she's also picked up a little bit of Japanese and other languages along the way that she never knew before. "I don't know that much Japanese, but I try to help exchange students get the most for their moneywhen it comes to mailing packages," she said. As an example of how often exchange students mailpackages home, Lindquist cited the time when she had more than $2,000 worth of packages to bemailed stacked up behind the counter waiting for the mail truck to pick them up. "The post office calledand couldn't believe we had over $2,000 worth of packages. It was incredible. I couldn't believe it either,"she said.. Lindquist's customers are also very choosy about the design of the stamp they put on theirletters. Most get tired of the same designs and like to have variety to mail their letters. "People get tiredof always having the flag or bird designs. They want cars, flowers and a wide variety of choices in theirstamp buying. I try to order a variety of stamps that people will like," she said. The most monotonouspart of Lindquist's job is the break times between quarters when students and some faculty membersare gone.

The new teachers will teach Chinese students to speak, listen, read and write in Englishat universities and graduate schools in various locations around China. Already, more than 100 teachersprecede them and have been placed in 19of China's21 provinces since the program began in 1986.Most stay for one year'. Requirements for participating in the program include a bachelor's degree,teaching skills (encouraged but not necessarily required), maturity, flexibility and motivation. Theprogram provides training and placement for participants before leaving for China. Training takes placefall, spring and summer quarters. Participants spend 20 hours per week for 10 weeks in classroominstruction on campus. There, they are trained in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL),basic "survival" Chinese language skills, Chinese history and contemporary culture. People from allwalks of life join this challenging program. "Three just graduated this spring from Western," Littlewoodsaid of the last group of teachers. "A couple were teachers from the Seattle area; one was a Boeingengineer." The teachers also included an elderly couple, 65 and 70 years old. Motivation often comesfrom the opportunity and the adventure the program provides. Littlewood said many choose to participate out of curiosity of China's mystique, and some people who have traveled like the opportunity to stay inthe People's Republic of China. Other benefits include two paid vacationsâ€”two months during thesummer and one month during the winter. Salary depends on the participant's academic degree andexperience and is also determined by the inviting institution. Housing is usually provided by hostuniversities. Families are eligible to go, and couples are also encouraged. Littlewood reports mostteachers have three or four offers from different universities to choose from. George Drake, executivedirector of the program, said the program is following the Bush administration's lead in keepingeconomic and cultural ties open in the wake of violent government crackdowns on student-leddemocratic movements. To participate, applications must be received at least eight weeks before thebeginning of the session. Tuition for the training and placement program is $700 for Washingtonstate residents and $750 for out-of- state residents. Approximately $50 will be needed to cover the cost of books and class materials. For more information, contact the China Teaching Specialist Program inOld Main 530-A or call ext. 3753. Erica Littlewood Dairy farmer sells 23 acres to Western By ELLISBAKER fall staff member After more than 30 years of teaching agriculture courses and raising prize-winning Guernsey dairy cattle, Floyd Sandell sold 23 acres of his ' farm to Western this summer.Western's Board of Trustees approved the purchase August 1. "I've been involved in education all ofmy life," Sandell said. "I was an agriculture instructor at Belling-ham High School for 25 years, head ofthe farm management department at Whatcom Community College for another 20 years." "I just couldn't think of a better place to dispose of my hard work, love and so forth, than to this place that I was notassociated with, but that was in the business of educating young minds." So, when the opportunitycame, Sandell sold part of his 87-acre farm on the southeast corner of Hannegan and Bakerview roads.. "Having this farm that was suddenly rezoned to general manufacturingâ€” I hated to see this farm,my sweat and toil, knocked down and divided up into little parcels," Sandell said. Contracting anagreement with the university, Sandell is allowed to keep a herd of cows on part of the land, said George Pierce, vice president for business and financial affairs. Both Sandell and Peter Harris, director ofthe Physical Plant, declined to state the purchase price. Title Examiner Amber Shinn of Ti-cor TitleInsurance said Western purchased the 23-acre lot for $649,000. Planning for the acquisition began about two years ago. A Western representative approached Sandell, but the necessary delay in statefunding and the sudden death of former President G. Robert Ross and two vice presidents in November1987 halted negotiations for a short time. Meanwhile, the Institute of Environmental Toxicology andChemistry, formerly called the Institute of Wildlife Toxicology, leased the property and began usingthe house and one of four barns for research. Pierce said, "In terms of the (Toxicology) program andleasing the land, it was more cost effective to purchase the property." John Miles, dean of HuxleyCollege, said the land will be primarily devoted to working with undo-mesticated animal, such asmammals and birds. This spring, the Washington Legislature appropriated $1.5 million for thepurchase and for the planned construction of a research lab on the property. Sandell, a farmmanagement consultant, will maintain the outbuildings as part of the purchase agreement. He alsoplans to continue using the farm to house dairy cattle, imported from the midwest, for sale to local dairyfarmers.

"We're in the process of gettingconsultants for a campus survey" of any left-over asbestos areas, said Rick Benner, manager of Facilities and Master Planning. The survey will be campus wide, involving all the buildings, he said. Althoughthe survey has not yet been conducted, Western has already taken steps to clean up trouble spots oncampus. "I think any problem that's come up we've been addressing," Benner said. "We have thefunding at this point," Benner said. He added that where funds are spent is prioritized by determiningwhat places on campus are the most risk to faculty and students. Asbestos, a fireproof mineral, wascommonly used as an insulator until the mid-1970s. Exposure to asbestos can be hazardous to one'shealth. The latency period for asbestos- related illness is 10 to 40 years. One ailment caused byasbestos is asbestosis, a crystallizing of lung tissue. Places on campus where asbestos has already been taken care of include Carver's main gym and the Old Main theater. Benner said workers aredoing Miller Hall's basement right now. Funds for the survey were appropriated during the lastlegislative session. Surveying should start by the first of the year, Benner said, and they hope to have itcompleted by 1991. He added that workers'can't take care of all the buildings at once because ofscheduling. As to whether there is asbestos in the residence halls, Benner said, "I have no idea...Ihaven't heard where there are any major problems or concerns." "People's safety comes first," Bennersaid. In reference to West-em's clean-up efforts he said, "I think we're doing really well. It'll be a longprocess, but we'll get there." Many people have worked with asbestos for years without realizing it couldaffect their health. According to the Feb. 14 issue of the Front, last January, a Western employee filedsuit in Whatcom County Superior Court against 22 manufacturers of products with asbestos. Thepipefitter, plumber and welder alleged he had developed an asbestos-related illness throughout a 30-year time span, first in the U.S. Navy, then at Western. Neither the Navy nor Western were named in thesuit. When the employee came to Western in 1975, he was handling asbestos in Western'sunderground tunnels and plumbing. Schroeter, Goldmark and Bender, the Seattle law firm that handledthe suit, alleged that the defendants knowingly manufactured and marketed the hazardous products,but failed to warn consumers of the dangers. The consumers included Western and the Navy. JanetTomlin, a legal aid at the law firm, said in the Feb. 14 issue of the Front, the firm has handled about 800asbestos-related cases in the past six years. She said because of the latency period, they expect tocontinue handling claims past the year 2000. Harrison also said in that issue that for Western's staffand students, the potential for asbestos contact is minimal. Since the mid-1980s, the state has certifiedguidelines for working with asbestos. Asbestos is handled only by certified technicians wearingprotective clothing and respirators, he said. Grad tuition jumps 34 percent BYSUELAPALM fall staffmember Significant increases in tuition and fees, including a 15 percent jump for residentundergraduates, have been approved by the Legislature for the 1989-90 school year. Tuition for residentgraduates soared 3 4percent. Based on a cost of operation study done by the Legislature, the quarterly tuition increases are as follows: Resident undergraduate up to $506 from $439; resident graduates up to $819from$621; non-resident undergraduates up to $1,775 from $1,528; and non-resident graduates up to $2,480 from $1,851. The university pays the same amount for professors at both levels of education,but class sizes at the graduate level are significantly smaller than that of undergraduate courses. Thisyear's cost study concluded that fees at the graduate level had gone up more than at theundergraduate level. The increase raised concern among legislators as well as the comprehensiveuniversities in Washington, such as Western, Central Washington University, Eastern WashingtonUniversity and The Evergreen State College. "The comprehensive universities were not happy about thegraduate increase," Cooley said. Therefore, the Legislature will conduct a cost study again this year tosee if any adjustments need to be made, instead of waiting until 1991 for the next study biennium to take place. Money gained from tuition and fees is broken down into several different departments,including capital projects, services and activities and operations. Part of the operations fee isappropriated back to the Legislature for use in operation of the university. Of the average residentundergraduate's tuition and fees of $506, $25.50 is used for building fees, $83.50 for services andactivities and $397 for operations. Recommendations are also made to the Board of Trustees todetermine how the revenue gained from tuition and fees will be allocated between those areas. Cooleyspeculated the reason nonresident fees are higher is because undergraduate residents pay only 25percent of the actual cost of running the university while resident graduates pay 33 percent. Taxpayerspay the rest. It is assumed that residents have already contributed in the past by paying taxes. Non-residents have not lived in the state and have not theoretically paid taxes, so they pay the full portion oftheir share of what it costs to run the university. ESTRADA Continued from page A1 he plans seeing the students become directly involved is the proposed Ethnic Student Union, to be located in VikingUnion. He sees it as a center for minority students, a place where student organizations can planprograms and where majority students can learn about minority cultures. "Western is not too differentfrom other universities," Estrada said about the campus' diversity. He feels Western is not in a drasticsituation, that it has a good cultural program and that his job will augment work that has already beendone. Estrada comes to Western with an impressive resume. Estrada's most recent job was assistantto the provost/ vice president for academic affairs at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. At CSUhe also served as executive director of the Presidential Leadership Program and for 10 years has beendirector of El Centro, the Hispano-American Studies Program and Hispanic student services. He was alecturer in CSU's departments of education and sociology. Estrada has a bachelor's degree in speechand journalism from the University of California at Santa Barbara (1968), a master of arts educationdegree in education administration from Whittier College (1974), and is a doctoral candidate ininternational and comparative education at the University of California at Los Angeles. He was directorof Chicano studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and an assistant professor ofeducation there from 1977-1979. "Change is exciting," Estrada said. To Estrada, success in his new job means seeing a large number of cross interactionâ€”when minority and majority students impact eachother by learning from each other.

The drug clause was implemented thisyear by the federal government. Unsure of how the government will enforce such a clause, Ron Martinez, Director of the Student Financial Resources Center, said the statement "leaves a lot of unansweredquestions" that will have to be dealt with later when test cases go before the courts and could determinehow individual cases will be handled. He also said if a student is convicted of a drug-related offense,they may not only face standard law enforcement laws, but also the possibility of losing their grant. However, he is not sure if after the conviction the police will contact the university to state that a drugconviction was made. At first, the federal government sought to apply the clause to all forms of financialaid, but "for whatever reason backed off and was just applied to the Pell Grant," Martinez said. Healso sees the clause as an educational tool warning students about the problems related with drugabuse and that it won't be tolerated. needy," Martinez said. However, so far it doesn't have "any teeth init" to make an impact, he said. The test cases, he said, should make the process clearer. , Also, if it islearned that the student falsified the statement, "much more severe established laws" will have to befaced. Awarding of the Pell Grant is based on "significant need and is awarded to students who are themost To be eligible for any form of financial aid, students must be at least half-time students attendingWestern and must carry at least six credits. Students also are required to have a minimum grade pointaverage of 2.0 once they become a sophomore. Prior to that, the minimum G.P.A. is not required. Allstudents - are subject to the established general university minimum standards. Volunteers help tocombat depression By PATRICIA CAIARELLI fall staff member Volunteers care. They give their time,and that's what's important, says Carrie Rysdorp, a volunteer at Womencare Shelter for BatteredWomen in Bellingham. Although many programs that help others depend on volunteers, Rysdorp wasn'tsure she was qualified until she completed the training preparing her to council battered women. "Idon't have experience in this; I've never been battered. But I realized that doesn't matter. Everybody'squalified," she said. And that' s where students fit into the volunteer picture. Rysdorp, after realizing shecould make a difference, 4ias decided to remain at the shelter and help fill the gap where fundingcutbacks limit the number of paid employees. Zero voter turnout at precinct polls By DOUGLAS BUELL fall staff member Primary elections Tuesday couldn't squeeze a single vote out. of 903 registered votersin three precincts at Western and its perimeter. "I believe that's the first time we'vehadnoturnoutin aprecinct," said Joyce Herrin, deputy auditor. "I would've expected we had some." Despite the hollowreply from a campus still void of the fall quarter rush of incoming students, that had little affect onunofficial results with absentee ballots still being tallied. Races included a Port of Bellingham position, two county council seats and a Mount Baker School District general obligation bond that passedoverwhelmingly. Incumbent Bellingham Port Commissioner Peter Zuanich and challenger TheresaGemmer will meet in the Nov. 7 general election. Gemmer is a licensed librarian who helped organizeConcerned Southside Citizens, a group that is fighting against overdevelopment in the Southsideneighborhood and Fairhaven. Eliminated from the race were James Freeman, who received 2,613 votesand Chuck Gable who got 818. In the county assessor race, Keith Willnauer got 5,532 votes, KenBrown received 3,776 and Jerry Presler counted 1,722. Willnauer and Brown will face off for the two-yearunexpired non-partisan term. Among candidates seeking county council seats, Marge Laid-law received1,703 votes, Dick Busse got 1,631 and Larry Harris trailed with 1,179. In the race for the second seat,Barrie E. Hull got 1,277 votes, Robert A. Imhof counted 859 and Dave Simpson was eliminated with550 votes. An $8,200,000 Mount Baker school bond passed with flying colors with a 74.8 percentturnout. The bond needed 40 percent â€” about 1,250 voters â€” to go to the polls, and 60 percent ofthem needed to vote yes. Money would be used to construct a new high school and provideHarmony, Acme and Deming elementary schools with capital improvements. In all, 12,338 of the 60,085 registered voters went to the polls in this primary, making for a 20.5 percent turnout, Herrin said. Earlierthis month election officials had anticipated a turnout of about 15 percent but amended that number as it became clear that the Mount Baker school bond would raise the overall turnout.

"There's nothinggreater than getting involved and not thinking about yourself," Heaps said. "There's certain support involunteer groups. Certainly a lot of meetings for volunteers â€” informal social things as well as formalones." Rysdorp also thinks volunteer work can help a student combat depression. "By helping otherpeople, you' always feel better. You definitely feel wanted," Rysdorp said. Susan Gribbin, communityrelations manager for the Bellingham Crisis Center, said 90 percent of her workers are volunteers.They staff the crisis lines, work in the rape relief program, the domestic violence program and theoutreach team. Linda Stewart-Kalen, family services coordinator of Bellingham's Head Start program,said, "We use any kind of volunteer activity you can imagine." In addition to people setting up. andtaking down classrooms, or riding the bus to act as transport aids, Stewart-Kalen said other volunteeractivities include preparing materials for the teachers (as one graphic artist does), working in thechildren's library and even working directly in the classroom as teachers'assistants. "There's lots of ways to be of help, and they're pretty much unlimited. You can even design your own volunteer program justfor you," she said. Kathryn Dowd, director of Bellingham's Food Bank, said the most important thing involunteers is that they "share our attitude ... We give away food to those who express a need for it, andwe give it away with love - and that's it. We don't judge people." Dowd thinks one of the most fascinating things about volunteering at the food bank is the opportunity of meeting the other volunteers. "Thestories and ideas they have are wonderful," she added. Another aspect she touts is the personalsatisfaction one gets from volunteering. Dowd said, "You get a concrete feeling of accomplishment. Atthe end of the day you can rub your hands together and say 'I did a good job!"'

The sculpture gardenhighlights artists who have gained national prominence in the field of art. The museum began in 1957and Western was the first college campus to begin collecting art in the "living environment." During theearly 1960s, Barney Goltz of the university planning office created a general policy which called for aportion of construction money to be used to buy art.

Whatcom County Solid Waste Division filed an applicationto the state's ecology department for a waste reduction and recycling demonstration grant. WhatcomCounty received the number one ranking out of 25 statewide applications. Whatcom County received the grant for its strong political and community support for recycling programs, said Carol Rondello,director of Environmental Resource Services.. Other proposed recycling programs include homerecycling collection bins, recycling drop-off boxes at Point Roberts, enrich school recyclingeducation programs and start a recycling education program aimed at local businesses. Besidesattempting to educate county residents on recycling, the city of Bellingham wants its residents toparticipate in the new curbsiderecycling programs. Sanitary Services Company and RecyclingServices, Inc. is sponsoring a lottery in which Bellingham residents have the opportunity to win $100for recycling. The lottery is held the third week of each month, starting the week of Sept. 17-23, with ahousehold randomly selected. The night before the household's regular recycling collection day, "Dr.Recycle" and a Recycling Services, Inc. staff member will visit the selected household, examine itsrecycling bins, and if the bins contain appropriate material and are correctly prepared for recycling, the resident receives $100. ,If a resident is not home, the name will be returned to the eligibility pool andDr. Recycle visits the next house on the block until a winner is found. HOUSING Continued from pageA1 In past years, applications for the university were accepted after Dec. 1. If a student was accepted, a $50 tuition deposit was required within ten days after receiving their acceptance. Once the depositwas received, a student could apply for on-campus housing. Meanwhile, students also applied to othercolleges and soon the waiting list for on-campus housing grew to about 1,500 in the spring, Rich said. For the 1989-90 year, freshmen are required to have a 3.0 cumulative G.P.A. to be admitted to theuniversity. Western accepted applications from Dec. 1 through March 1 for fall quarter. Studentscould apply any time forhousing, butcouldn't be assigned until they were accepted and the university had received their $50 deposit, Velenchenko said. "We made our decision the same time as University ofWashington" so students could decide which university they wanted to attend, she said. Although nostudents are waiting for on-campus housing, Western does need additional housing built, Rich said.Plans are in motion to remove Lower Highland Hall, which has 47 beds, and build a new residence hall to house 250. Money has already been allocated from the state Legislature to build the facility, but theBoard of Trustees needs to approve the proposal. Anyone looking for off-campus housing can check theOff-Campus Housing office in Viking Addition 650. The office publishes a list of 35 to 40 availablehousing options, including apartments and rooms for rent. For more information, call 676-3730.DRUGS Continued from page A1 as a member of the Sentencing Guidelines Commission, whichrecommended the Legislature not adopt the new drug enforcement laws. Ostlund said the laws are"ripe, with a lot of ambiguities and problems." The law's guidelines don't specify what a school busroute is or if colleges or daycares count as schools. "I don't know what the Legislature had in mindwhen they did it," Ostlund said of the new law's passage. Nelson said the Whatcom TransportationService could be consid-* ered a school bus because many school children ride the county service busto school. According to personnel at the Sentencing Guidelines Commission office, the definition of aschool is being left up to the lawyers. "It's gotten real ugly over the summer," Nelson said of the newdrug enforcement laws. "It's debatable as to whether it's good or not." Komorowski said theLegislature seemed to be trying to pass the drug problem out of existence through new laws. "As aresult of the much celebrated war on drugs, the Legislature has been passing evermore Draconi-ouslaws," he said. "With no prior criminal history, you're looking at 21-27 months, and that's prison." Publicdefender Nelson said, "Prison is hell. To send a college student to prison â€” that's where the big boysgo." According to the law, delivery of cocaine includes any amount, no matter how small. Komorowskisaid people have been prosecuted for a lab analysis of "much less than one tenth of a gram." Delivery also doesn't have to involve the exchange of money. "You can get into a lot of trouble by being a middleperson" Komorowski said. Pleading that you had no intention of actually using the drug or that youdidn't accept money for it won't necessarily hold water in court, he said. "The judge doesn't have to goeasy on you," Komorowski said. "It's just an option." Komorowski said the majority of drug cases hesees are someone selling it out of their dorm room or someone being a middle man. Komorowski saidthe Legislature's reasons for passing tougher drug enforcement laws follows a national trend of findinga "cause" and then emphasizing it. He said the number of cases go up in direct proportion with theemphasis placed on the crimes. "It's almost like crime de jour," he said. Nelson added, "It's politicallyhot. There's no real surprise here." Komorowski pointed out that the number of cases of D.W.I.S (drivingwhile intoxicated) and sex offenses against children went up in recent years because of massiveattention focused on the issues. "Now we have the 'war on drugs,' " he said. Komorowski said peoplealso may be prosecuted for the manufacture, distribution or possession with intent to distribute animitation controlled substance. For instance, an offender may try to sell powdered sugar as cocaine.First offense sentences range from zero to 90 days. Two years of community supervision also may beassigned. With stiffer drug enforcement laws now in place, all three public defenders said would-beoffenders should think twice before getting involved in drugs. Ostlund put it simply, "Be good or be injail."

Central Head Coach Mike Dunbar, in his fourth year,has a 25-6 win-loss record. Last year Central went 9-0 in regular season play, including a 37-20 winover Western. They are now in the midst of a regular season 13-game winning streak. A ColumbiaFootball Association coaches' pre-season poll had Central picking up six-and-one-third votes out ofseven to win the Mount Rainier League. The coaches believe Western will place fourth, according to thepoll. In the first game of the 1989 season, Central pounded Southern Oregon 34-0. Western also opened with a victory, but it was not as pronounced as the Central win (information on last week's footballgames was unavailable when this edition went to press). "As strong as the rivalry is, you still mustadmire and respect the level of success (Central) has achieved," said Viking Head Coach Rob Smith."They are confident," Smith added. "They believe when they go on the field that they are going to win."Offensively, Central is a strong rushing team and ranks fourth in CFA scoring. They out-rushedSouthern Oregon 231 yards to 59 yards. If Central puts up numbers similar to those against Western,it will be a long day for Western defensive coordinator Andre Patterson. He probably wishes he wasthe only Patterson at the game this weekend. Smith Corona presents three products that can help make schoolwork academic.

Central's top rusher is also named Patterson, and he is an All-Ameri-can. Pat Patterson ranked second last year in the CFA in rushing with a school record 1,146 yards and12 touchdowns. He led Central with 77 yards on 18 carries against Southern Oregon. Because the game was such a blowout, Patterson only carried the ball twice in the second half. Seven starters are backfrom last years team. On offense, four first-team Mount Rainier League all-stars return. , , *. Notreturning is last year's auar- Central Western Hiiii terback Bart Fortune. The lack of an experiencedquarterback may be the weakest link in Central's armor. Sophomore Ken Stradley won the startingquarterback job. He completed 8 of 16 passes in the season opener, including two touchdowns,appears the hole Fortune left is at least partially filled. A traditional strength of Central is their 5-2defense. They lead the CFA in scoring defense and are second in both passing and rushing defense. One key to their strategy is junior Keith Ross, a 6-foot-2-inch, 235 pound inside linebacker. Ross wasnamed Wildcat of the week for the game against Southern Oregon. He had four tackles, two assists and a quarterback sack which resulted in an eight-yard loss.

CENTRAL Continued from page A23Another tough defensive player is outside linebacker John Olson, a 6- foot-2-inch, 225 pound sophomore. Olson recovered a fumble, intercepted a pass and had four tackles. The wildest cat on defense,however, is 6-foot-5-inch, 270 pound senior tackle Mike Estes. He is big, strong and can run. Last yearEstes had 46 tackles. Central blitzed Southern Oregon with an impressive 11 quarterback sacks andthere is a threat it may happen to Western. Central's secondary is talented and deep. Brad Taylor, asecond-team all-league pick last year, and Jim Gallagher are the best of the pass defenders. Central ismost dangerous in the takeaway (a recovered fumble or an interception) department. They had fivetakeaways in the Southern Oregon game, converting Ihem into 17 points. Western ranks second inoverall defense, topped only by Central. The only team statistical categories in which the Vikingsexceed Central is in the passing game. With Western's new spread offense, the game may hinge onthe ability of Central's defensive rush to get to Western quarterback Kirk Kriskovich. Kriskovichcompleted more than two-thirds of his passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns in the opening-day win. He hit wide receiver Mike Carrington with a 42-yard scoring toss, and tight end Kirk Schneider caughtan eight-yard touchdown pass. Central will also have to keep an eye out for senior running back ScottLohr, who carried for 129 yards on 33 carries. The spread offense, which keys to the passing game, maycause Central to overlook Lohr. Not a good idea, considering Lohr's 1988 season rushing touchdownrecord of 13. This matchup is as dangerous as any the Vikes will face this year. Central is a favorite, but the home field advantage and wide-open passing attack of Western gives the team a legitimatechance to upset the Wildcats.

They played Chico State twice,getting blown out of the first match 6-15,13-15, but playing tougher the second time around, 16-14, 11-15 and 9-15. Outside hitter Lorrie Post leads the team in kills with 68, and middle blocker April Lindseyhas the top attack percentage with a .400 mark. Lindsey also leads the team in blocks with 21. TheVikings travel to Simon Eraser University in British Columbia tomorrow for a district match-up. Soccer Peter LaBarge is picking up where he left off last year. LaBarge holds the majority of Western's footballrecords in the area of kicking, and now he owns the single game scoring record for men's soccer. TheVikings played in the Redwood Invitational at Areata, Calif., last week, and LaBarge won thetournament's most valuable player award. He scored five goals against Menlo College (California) to setthe record and also sparked Western's 8- 0 win. The previous record was three goals, set by Jim Myhrein 1988 and by Chae Kim in 1984. In a one-sided victory, Western outshot Menlo 47-1. LaBarge had 16shots on goal. "The tournament was .good for us," coach Kevin Quinn said. "We scored a lot of goals,then we won a close game. It gave us some confidence." Western beat Humboldt State 2- 1, goodenough to capture the invitational tournament. LaBarge has eight goals for the season. AlthoughGeorge Gray had 11 goals in 1969, soccer was a club sport and LaBarge technically possesses yetanother record. They travel to Seattle University Sept. 27 for a Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conferencegame. Women's soccer won their first game of the year, having lost their first five to open the season.The 4-0 win came against Oregon State at the West Coast Classic in Portland, Ore. last week. Before the win, Western lost to Chico State 0-3 and to the University of Portland 1-5. | Â§ "It was a worthwhiletrip," coach Dominic Garguile said. "We had good all-around team play. There were no standouts, wejust worked well together." Garguile said the Vikings were competitive in both losses in Portland,but the players tired at the end of both games. Suzanne Hall leads the team with three goals. ShellyTaylor has the second-best statistics, having scored one goal and one assist.

Rhoads, a professor and director of Western's graduate program in Archives Administrationand Records Management, said involvement in the program is not for everyone. Archivists arehistorians at heart. Their work, similar to a librarian, is motivated in serving the informational needs ofthe public. "(But) archival work is more interesting because you're dealing with unique materials ratherthan books, of which there are thousands of copies," Rhoads said. Archival work is a process ofdiscovery, of solving puzzles and figuring out relationships of documents, he said. Where did theycome from? Why were they made? How many copies exist? And a strong background in history isimportant "What you're dealing with, after all, are the raw materials from which history is written," hesaid. Throughout his career â€” Rhoads directed the nation's archival program from 1968 to 1979â€”his occupation has been confused with occultists, architects, anchovies and anarchists. Hisfavorite misidentification was "a doctor who makes babies," bestowed by the friend of his daughter,then 5 years old. While others may misidentify an archivist, an archivist must never misidentify materials when appraising them for historical value. "That's important and it's also scary, because the recordsnot identified for indefinite storage are probably destroyed. If you use bad judgment, the historians will damn you forever," Rhoads said. Other important details are the form of the records â€” paper,photograph, filmâ€” and how the records are stored. Good quality rag paper, for example, is quitedurable. Microfilm and other kinds of photographic film, if properly processed and stored, also lasts ajong time; but, no material lasts forever. "All documentary media begin to deteriorate from the time ofcreation. An archivist's goal is to retard that deterioration," he said. But as needed as archivists are,they are few and far between in the United States. ' 'We have the only full masters-level archive programwest of Mississippi. There are probably six or eight roughly comparable programs in the country," hesaid. In addition to the geographic limitation, Western also limits admission to 10 students eachyear. Admittedly, the small number of admissions is, in part, because Rhoads is the only full-timeprofessor teaching the program. ' 'I manage to keep busy, but it's not impossible. The classes aresmall and I manage to spend a lot of one-on- one time with the students," he said. Although most of his students come from the Pacific Northwest, a University of Edinburgh student, Morna Gerrard, istraveling from Scotland to begin her studies at West-em this fall. Most of Rhoads' students arebetween 30 and 50 years old. Others, in their mid to late 30s, are returning to college after a few years of work. "I usually have an interesting mixture â€” with a few young people who are in their 20s, freshout of college, and all of these mature people, who've been out in the real world for awhile," he said.

SIENKO) of guest lecturers, who are usually either Western history professors orprofessional archivists. "We are hopeful that, this fall, we may have a guest lecturer from the SovietUnion, who will spend a few days on campus talking about the Soviet archival system and drawingsome comparisons," Rhoads said. Regardless of the differences between systems, one similarity isths importance of records appraisal â€” deciding which records are worth keeping. After evaluatingrecords, the archivist brings them to the archives depository, repairs and prepares them for storage,catalogs and arranges them for easy retrieval, and makes them available for public use under proper,safe guidelines. In preparation for these tasks, Rhoads' first-year archive students attend an introductoryseminar in the fall before spending the next two quarters as interns. Graduates earn amasterof arts inhistory, with a concentration in archives administration and records management. They begin as entry-level archivists, earning $18,000 to 25,000 annually.

Gallery portrays metaphysical art By JILL NELSON fall staff member WhenWestern's department of theatre/dance stages the British farce "Noises Off," the leading man will havehad only six days of rehearsal before show time. Jason Tromsness, 23, will be stepping into the leadrole created at this year's Summer Stock production by guest and professional actor James Bohnen.Tromsness joins a cast who have already participated in the play this summer, the lead having opened up when the revival date was set. The - show enjoyed enormous popularity as part of Western's SummerStock program, hence the decision to extend the run into fall quarter. Tromsness said he was calledto take this role an hour before one of his summer performances at the Laughing Horse SummerTheater in Ellensburg. Naturally, he agreed. "James Bohnen left big shoes to fill," Tromsness said,admitting he feels a little nervous. Tromsness has had a few weeks to work on the lines, but it's theplay's intricate blocking he fears could cause him to "mess it up." A sixth-year senior, Tromsness likesto think of himself as only a fifth-year senior because of all the time he's taken off for theatrical tours,including one of Europe. IK hopes to graduate this spring, after packing his last year with activitiesincluding costuming for plays and working on a showcase for all performing arts students. Tromsnessalso plans to lend his talents to the New Playwrights program, one of only a few in the state where astudent can see his play come to life through directors, staging and actors. "Jason is one of thestrongest character actors currently in our department," said Doug Vander Yacht, theater/dancechairman and a frequent director of Tromsness. "I knew we could rely on him to learn his part quicklyand to integrate into the already- established cast." "Noises Off is a British farce by Michael Frayn.Tromsness explains "Noises Off as a play within a play. Tromsness' character is a director, and the firstact features him sitting in the audience and giving direction to cast members on stage. "It's a scaryfeeling," Tromsness said about sitting with audience members. "Usually you can't see anybody (aroundyou). I'm afraid I'll sit by someone who will start asking me questions or something!" In Act II, theaudience will see what goes on backstage of a play on tour and the final act deals with the end of theplay's tour. The Bellingham Herald said of the production: "It's possible that a funnier comedy...hasplayed in Bellingham, but it's hard to remember what it might have been." "This is one of the funniestfarces. A laugh a minute, a must-see," Tromsness said about the play. 'Noises Off runs Sept. 27 - 30 in the Performing Arts Center Main-stage.

An enormous work, portraying a personal view of natural history and the human experience, opens Western Gallery's fall season of shows. Tilled "Matt Mullican: Signs of die Times," the one-work show opening Monday, Oct. 2 features an effort called"The Dallas Project" by New York artist Matt Mullican. Composed of 52 colorful panels, each 8 feet by 4feet, Mullican uses oil stick rubbings of signs and symbols to illustrate the span of man's history ashe sees it. Mullican's medium of conceptual expression is iconography, the art of representation bypictures or images. The artist uses existing symbols created by one group or movement and rearrangesthese symbols â€” such as road signs or religious pictures â€” to explain the artist's particular idea ofwhat the existing representation means to him. Using the entire gallery space, the panels are groupedby theme: cosmology, history, the arts, science and the external world. The symbols in "The DallasProject" are derived from sources ranging from Christian iconography, scientific dictionaries and 19thcentury engravings to contemporary signs for public places, including streets, airports and restrooms.His work demonstrates that contemporary art can deal with major metaphysical issues. Mullican tries to express his concept of the human experience by arranging these familiar symbols in abstract ways.The everyday human sign for a public restroom, in Mulli-can's work, is now realized as a symbol for hell. The cosmological group portrays images of heaven and hell, fate and life before birth, demon and angel.Pictographs, ranging from the student deaths at Kent State to the crucifixion of Christ, comprise thehistory theme. In representing the arts, Mullican combines vignettes of theater, music,photography, literature, movies, painting and sculpture. Images of house and city symbolize theexternal world, while representations of technology, anatomy, evolution, nature and weather createMullican's concept of science. "While Mullican's monumental work seems to combine everything fromencyclopedias, data-based sociology and science fiction, it does represent a clear view of thecomplimentary realms of the subjective and the objective, microcosmic and macrocosmic," saidWestern Gallery Director Sarah Clark-Langager. Originally produced in 1987 for a specific site in theDallas Museum of Art, the work is now in a private collection in California. "The Dallas Project" willremain on view at the Western Gallery through Nov. 11. Western Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.Monday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Noon hour public tours each Wednesdaywill feature different Western professors from the art and science departments giving their owninterpretations of the exhibit.

No longer a university lacking direction, officals won't reston its laurels as a top-ranking liberal arts college nationwide. Western is ready to be a leader in its field,not only establishing, but achieving, its self-appointed goal as a role model for campus diversity. Forthose freshmen and transfer students who want to get a grasp on local events, and for returningstudents who want to catch up on what they'll be reading during; an occasional long-winded lecture, here ifhabg mps of some of the issues likely to make the Front headlines: â€¢ Campus safety isquestionable. The university is paying an unarmed security force, virtually demoting them to door-checkers, while Bellingham Police are called in on the big complaints. Ultimately, the schcoHs staring into the barrel of a loaded dispute deciding whether security officers should carry guns, but it's the state justice system, legislators and the Department of Labor and Industries who are fumbling with thedecisions. â€¢ President Kenneth Mortimer's Strategic Planning Committee kicks off with a year-longplan that will seek ways to improve the undergraduate's stay at Western, while expanding the school'srelationship with the Bellingham community. The strategy, in part, is supposed to focus much attention on giving students a broad and memorable academic experience. Early indications are that discussions, lacking any student representation, are largely bureaucratic and will have no effect on students. â€¢Health Services' budget needs a booster shot of as much as $20,000 as a result of poor bookkeeping the past seven years. Students behind a spring referendum voted to raise the health services fee from $9 to$15 after campus leaders found some haphazard discussion among administrators to triple or quadruplethe fee as a way to curb losses. Administrators, after the balloting, ignored the vote and dropped theadd-on fee to $12 because student opinion was ruled invalid in this type of fee change. Although the endresult meant students paid le_ss, the incident left fee-setting in the hands of administrators, despite thefact it's the participating students who are willingly paying for the service. Thoelke said it could've set aprecedence of determining fees without due process. â€¢ The opinions expressed are not necessarilythose of the journalism faculty, staff or students.

Along with that goes new school year resolutions. Like, this year I'm goingto change. This year will be different. This year I'm going to take a full load of classes that I actuallyneed. I'll study every night. I'll use the library for studying, not to check out who's there. I'll go to allclasses, even my 8 a.m. math class. I'll keep up with the text reading. I'll start quarter projects right when they are assigned. I'll talk to my profs and they will know me by my outstanding work. They'll know myname, not just my number. I'm going to sit in the front row of lectures and ask thought-provokingquestions. I won't schedule my classes around my soap opera. And this has just got to be the year Ipass Math 102. My personal life will have to be shaped up too. I'll pay my phone bill right when I get it.I'll make fewer long- JILL NELSON Accent Co-editor distance calls. I'll eat more nutritionally â€” moresalads, less pizza. More water, less beer. I'm going to run three miles a day and work out. I'll keep myroom orderly. I won't play my stereo too loud. I've got to clean up my social life. I'll never walk home lateat night alone. I won't publicly consume alcohol. I won't drive while intoxicated. I won't scam at parties. I'll be nice to my ex's. I won't party where minors are consuming alcohol. My weekends will start on Friday ~ not Thursday, Wednesday or Tuesday. I'll break away from friends who remind me "You can alwaysretake a class, but never relive a weekend.'' Yeah, this year I'll remember all of Halloween weekend, notjust bits and pieces. I'll only go to Canada to appreciate its culture. I'll be patient when our neighbors tothe north clog up the checkout lines at Fred Meyer on the weekends with their funny money. I'll get ajob and perfectly balance class, homework, civic duty and campus participation. I'm going to be wellinformed about campus, local, national and international news. I won't go home just to have my momdo my laundry. I won't run out of money. I'll donate blood. I won't put up beer posters. I'll write myGrandma. Who's kidding who? Toss your resolutions and have a blast like every other year. To arm ornot to arm, that is the question Reinstate security without guns Where's a policeman when you needone? Whether that means armed or unarmed security, you'll probably ask that many times beforeWestern and the state courts and lawmakers resolve this arm-wrestling debate. If you're among thestudents who scramble for shelter every time someone yells "crime wave" after an infrequent theft orassault, you probably can't wait for the arms shipments to arrive, when the campus is at last securebehind the authority of a gun barrel. That's bunk. Let's bestow those dedicated campus cops with thearresting powers they once had. But leave the guns at home. Western is without a doubt a safe place tolive. The campus has managed to survive fitfully through many graduating classes protected by arespected, commissioned security force â€” without guns. Still, the fear factor has somehow run amok.An on-campus survey claims as many as eight of every 10 students say they are afraid to walk acrosscampus alone at night. I think newcomers to a university expect campuses will be safer than thecommunities they left, and that's why any report of criminal activity tends to get blown out of proportion.Nary a shred of evidence exists, historically or otherwise, to support the notion that crime is any moreabundant at Western than it has ever been. Furthermore, there is no comparative data to suggest thatarming the police would help in deterring violence. An outsider looking in on us presumably poor,defenseless students would probably think life with a security force demoted to a neighborhood crimewatch would be asking for drug pushers, rapists and hard-nosed criminals to come in. During a gathering of Washington state university police officials in Spokane earlier this month, John Carpenter, chief ofpolice for San Diego State University, said campuses have about the same crime rate as cities withcomparable populations. 1988 statistics of reported crimes state otherwise: â€¢Western WashingtonUniversity â€” population 9,838.

The survey of cities was prepared by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and PoliceChiefs in its annual crime report. Western statistics were gathered from Carpenter's May 1989 reportTHE WESTERN FRONT To place an ad: BUSINESS OFFICE: 676-3160 To give a news tip:NEWSROOM: 676-3162 EDITOR: Mary Hanson NEWS: Doree Armstrong Douglas Bueil TriciaCaiarelli OPINION: Tina Pinto SPORTS: Michael Wagar ACCENT: Sue LaPalm Jill NelsonFEATURES: Marisa Lencioni PHOTOS: Brad Ellis COPY DESK: Ellis Baker Stephanie Bixby JoelleJohnson Mary Beth Neal on "Crimes and Transgressions Report on College and University Campuses ," which further concluded that overall campus crime statistics do not support the contention thatcriminal activity on college and university campuses is increasing at a rate higher than that in society atlarge. One argument holds that campuses have a high number of assaults, and this supports theneed for armed police. However, a predominantly large number of these assaults are simple anddomestic, not aggravated, calls. The same is said of an overabundance of theft complaints. But again,these are crimes in which possessing a gun wouldn't make any difference. A comparison of crime ratesat Western and the state's other four university with campus police forces shows no significantdifferences in the level of criminal activity. According to the Bellingham Herald, two weeks ago stateSen. Peter von Reichbauer, R-Federal Way, called on college campus officials to gather crime statisticsfor the past six years. In a press release mentioned in the article, von Reichbauer stated, "As we crackdown on crime in our communities, I am concerned that a lack of security on campuses will encourage gang members, dr^'dealers and sex offenders toxiseCWstgd fts as punching bags." Another statesenator said he wants to introduce a bill that would make it mandatory for all college campuses to havearmed police. An unfortunate irony of the on-campus gun issue is mat state law doesn't restrict staff,faculty and the public from carrying or possessing firearms on a college campus as it does inelementary and secondary schools. Maybe that's the obsolete law legislators should really betargeting. The issue is expected to be discussed before the Board of Trustees Oct. 5.

The sports department's motto this year is "On the move in '89," and Goodrich, who doubles as thewomen's basketball head coach, is one of the leaders of this conquest. ' 'We feel we are on the move asfar as our programs are," Goodrich said. "I feel confident about the teams we are going to field."Goodrich said she would match Western's program againstany other as far as athletic accomplishment.She credits Western coaches' hard work. "There is not a coach on our staff who does not bust their rearend," she said. The ultimate goal of this hard work is a national championship team, â€¢and, althoughWestern has come close, including last year when the men's basketball team was rated seventhnationally in the final seasonpoll and Goodrich's women's1 basketball team made it to the quarter-finals of their national tournament, there still is no national banner flying in the gym. ' 'We want to win districtchampionships," Goodrich said. "We want to provide an environment for winning and provide thematerials to give our teams the best chance to do that." "Western should begin dominating in manysports." Goodrich sees last year as a step forward for the program. "Success is achieved in small steps, and we're not going to take any steps back," she said. Yet Goodrich said the main emphasis forWestern sports is not winning, but to have athletes who are good students. ' 'A perception in athletics isthat there is an emphasis on the field and not in the classroom," Goodrich said. ' 'We feel that is not true here and we want to be die model." Goodrich said she is committed to running a clean program, butshe balks at rulings which limit athletic eligibility. Proposition 48, for example, examines athletes'grades and college entrance tests, resulting in many talented athletes being barred from college. ' 'Thething that bothers me is if (the rulings) only target athletes. I think athletes should only have to do whatother students do." There is a move toward paying student athletes for working during practices andgames. This movement is strongest at thebig college football schools. "With programs earning mul-timillions of dollars because of television and crowds numbering 70,000 at a football game, it isunrealistic to bring athletes in and not allow them to make any outside money," Goodrich said. * 'But atour level, it is unrealistic with our gate receipts. "I think sometimes money would spoil what an athlete is there for," Goodrich said. "Ultimately, I think the student athlete should be there for the love of the sport, not because you get paid for it." Athletic Director Lynda Goodrich hopes to add a national trophy, (staffphoto by BRAD ELLIS) Goodrich said money is a factor and a certain amount must be raised to pay forcoaches, travel and equipment. ' 'But we have to be careful,'' she said. "We are here for the student-athlete to play, enjoy and get more out of the sport than what they put in." She points out that learninghow to work hard, setting goals and accomplishing them, gaining lifelong friends and the pureenjoyment of competition as some of the benefits a college athlete receives. "Unequivocally, I can say of everyone on our staff that the student- athlete is the first measure of success, with wins and lossessecondary," she said. "But that is not to say I don't want to win. I guess it is keeping everything inperspective." One way Western raises money is selling Viking Athletic Club Memberships. Gifts to theclub fund athletic scholarships, recruiting expenses and national travel trips.

BernieBickerstaff istheir coach, and although he will be the coach with the thoroughbred players next month in CarverGymnasium, he actually ended up in a hospital from stress during last year's season, which saw theSonics eliminated from the playoffs in fourstraightgames by the Los Angeles Lakers. Bemie is back andhe is healthy. Western's Athletic Director Lynda Goodrich sees the game being healthy for Western. ' 'Ithink it is a way for Western to give something back to the community," Goodrich said. "There is noother opportunity for the Sonics to be in Bellingham unless we bring them up. Imagine Derrick McKeegoing high over the rim to grab a defensive rebound and then flipping an outlet pass to guard NateMcMillan. McMillan races down the court, dishing off to Dale Ellis in the corner, who lofts a three-pointer. Next, imagine being only a few rows off the court and within walking distance from home. ' 'Itis really exciting," Goodrich said. "And there is not a bad seat in Carver Gymnasium." Western hosts agame like this because it gives added exposure to the school, is a fun event for the students andpresents an opportunity Shorts Bemie Bickerstaff to make some money, Goodrich said.

Taylor. At die end of last season, theVikings were rated seventh in the nation in the final NAIA poll. Coach Brad Jackson has reloaded withsome talented recruits, and, with improvements by seven returning players, it should be enough to puthis team into another dogfight for the district title. Last season ended abruptly when Central WashingtonUniversity beat Western 73-67 in overtime and advanced to the NAIA national tournament "Thetendency is to look at the season in light of the last game," Jackson said. "Although it was extremelydisappointing, we still won 26 games and played a lot of good basketball." Expectations for the teamhave risen since Jackson became coach four years ago. The fans, players and Jackson all have highhopes for this years roundballers. ' 'That's exactly what we want,'' Jackson said.' 'Four years ago therewere no expectations.'' Jackson said past successes give returning players experience in the biggames. "They have been there before, and that helps," he said. New recruits also come to West-empartly because of the success and the visibility it brings, Jackson said. Jackson's seven new playerscoming to Western include six transfer students, who should have enough experience to step in andcontribute right away. Junior guard Michael Bryant, 5- foot-11, played high school basketball atFranklin High in Seattle and then spent two years at Cal State- Bakersfield, where he averaged 8.1points. "Hecouldbethepremier guard in the district," Jackson said. "He ; has tremendous quickness, hepushes Brad Jackson 703 W.

Another top recruit is 6-foot-2 guard John Nance. From Chicago, Nanceaveraged 20 points and seven assists at Malcolm X Junior College in 1987-88. Jackson nabbed a formerall-state high school player in sophomore Trevor Sugarman, who is a good passer and shooter (he ledhis junior college team in three-point shooting last season with .443 percent). "We needed to get guardswho could come in and play right away," Jackson said. "With Nance, Bryant and the people we alreadyhave, we've got speed, quickness and shooting in the backcourt, and then getting Sugarman is abonus." Newcomer AtiavoJude, at 6 feet lt; 5 inches, averaged 18 points last season as a sophomoreand 17 points as a freshman at College of the Siskiyous in Weed, Calif., to earn Jude second-team All-Golden Valley Conference honors both years. ' 'Jude can run; he is an outstanding defensive playerand strong physically," Jackson said. Otherrecruits are 6-foot-6 junior forward Steve Clinscales, 6-foot-4 junior guard-forward Rich Turner, and the only true rookie, 6-foot-5 freshman Chris Lane, who spent the last four years in the Air Force. Lane did play on the Travis Air Force Base team in California,averaging 26 points and 15.1 rebounds last year. "He is one of the most intense players I've ever been around," Jackson said about Lane. "He's a tremendous rebounder, runs the floor well and has range outto 17 feet." Turner, recommended to Jackson by former NBA guard Lorenzo Romar, averaged 12.3points and nine rebounds for a junior college in San Diego last year. Jackson said Turner is the bestjumper out of his new players. Clinscales likes to play defense, is a shot blocker and runs the floor well. He averaged 10 points and eight rebounds last year. ' 'We've been able to get players who fit oursystem," Jackson said. "The makeup of the team is good and I like the personalities of the peoplecoming in. All in all, I'm pleased with what we got." Jackson will mold these new players around a trio ofreturning seniors, headlined by headhunter Ed Briggs. Last year, Briggs averaged 12.7 points, set aschool record for blocked shots (109), led the team in rebounds with a 9.7 average and was awarded'Basketball-heads" a Western phenomena. all-district and honorable mention NAIA All-America honors."He is such a team player," Jackson said about 6-foot-9 Briggs. "He is real conscious of the otherplayers and he likes to block shots, although he did have some foul problems." Another key returningsenior is guard Mannie Kimmie, who averaged 12.7 points and is Western's fourth all-time scorer with1,152 career points. Kimmie has a shot at becoming Western's all-time leader in scoring, assists andsteals. Kimmie, a starter halfway through his freshman year, will provide valuable experience. Thethird senior is forward-center, "very athletic" Todd McAllister. Also back is forward Eric Schur-man,who had ah off-season last year due to injuries. '' Schurman struggled last year. I anticipate he will come back and do extremely well," Jackson said. Jackson plans to continue the style of play that broughthim within a point from the national NAIA tournament last year ~ pressure defense and quickness."We really feel we have a style of play enjoyable to the players," Jackson said.' 'They like to play in afast game." Take a quick, up-tempo style of ball, add another winning season, and Western fans shouldenjoy this year's men's basketball. The season starts Nov. 17 at the District 2 Tip-off tournament.Mannie Kimmie expected to provide leadership. (Front file photo) Welcome Back Students!

By MICHAEL WAGAR fall staff member The toughest opponent Western women'sbasketball faces this year may be themselves. Last season they won 30 and lost five, including aseason-ending loss in the NAIA National Championships to the eventual national title holder. Theywere the district champions. Four starters are returning. Coach Lynda Goodrich, in her 19th year ofcoaching, is a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame. The Vikings have been in the district playoffs every year since joining in 1982, and they have played in the finals seven out of eight years. New recruits include a second-. team all-state and two-time all- Western Conference player (recruited hard by the University ofWashington) and a most-valuable player of the 1988 British Columbia playoffs. Things look good. ' 'Tobe realistic, we have to be the favorite to repeat," Goodrich said. "But it is tough to repeat." All the teams will be ready to play hard when they face Western because of our success, Goodrich said. Goodrichsees Simon Fraser, whom they faced in last seasons district championship game, and SeattleUniversity, as their top competition. "Simon Fraser is a strong, young team and Seattle University hasgood players coming back, along with a UW transfer," she said. The four returning starters, led bysenior forward Alayna Keppler, are hoping to go to a second straight NAIA National Tournament. Keppler was an all-district choice, leading the Vikings in steals, rebounds and second in scoring behindgraduated Ail-American Anna Ra-bel. "Keppler has really become a star," Goodrich said. "She is anoutstanding rebounder, plays good defense and picked up her scoring last year." "She gives 100percent. She is a real key to our success." Other returning starters are three-year letterer Kerri Browitt,junior center Cim Hanson and junior guard Erica Porter. Browitt, last year's assist leader, is a topdefensive player and team leader, Goodrich said. Hanson averaged 12.9 points and seven rebounds pergame, and scored 34 points against Minnesota-Duluth at the national tournament. ' 'Erica Porter makesit all work,'' Goodrich said. "She really developed into oneof the bestpoint guards in our district." Thetwo all-star recruits are freshman Alissia Lumpkin and Lori Tarase-wich, a transfer student fromDouglas College, British Columbia. "Lumpkin and Tarasewich fill immediate needs and should be impact players," Goodrich said. "Both have size and will fit into our style very well." Lumpkin, an Everett Herald all-area choice out of Cascade High School in Everett, is a blue-chipper. "She's a quality player and afuture star," Goodrich said. "I look for her to be the cornerstone of our "Keppler gives 100 percent. She is a real key to our success." - Lynda Goodrich program in a couple years." Tarasewich averaged 20points and 15 rebounds her senior year in high school. "She's my type of player in that she is a realcompetitor," Goodrich said. "She is a threat inside and outside on offense and is a great defensiveplayer." The Lady Vikings have had good defensive teams in the past, and this should continue. Theywill play a variety of defenses (presses, traps, three-quarter court presses) to keep the other teams off-balance. On paper, Western looks like a champion, but this is sports and it is always difficult coming offa championship season. All the ingredients are assembled: experience, fresh blood, talent andcoaching. Now they must beat themselves.

He's also learned to receive them. Susee has been a first-team All Columbia FootballAssociation pick the last two years. But he's also had to deal with adversity, both on and off the field. 4'I've had a lot of success,'' Susee said. "When negative things happen, I put a lot of pressure on myself to make things better. It you run into a problem, you have to deal with it. It's not going to last forever."The toughest setback came in the spring of 1987. His father suffered a serious heart attack and nearlydied. "Most people who go 12 minutes or more without oxygen are presumed dead," Susee said. "My dad went 24 minutes without oxygen. Even when he was in the hospital, the doctor gave him one-tenth of one percent chance of living, and said if he did live, he'd be helpless." Susee's father recoveredfar beyond anyone's expectations. But the first few months weren't easy. ' 'It put a big strain on ourfamily," he said. "One of my brothers lives out of state, and another works full-time. My mom neededsomeone there. It was real hard. I tried to go home as often as I could. I'd leave school Thursdayafternoon and not come back until Monday morning. My grades really suffered. I was only in class threeor four days a week." Susee got through. He's also gotten through some tough times on the footballfield, such as being a 150- pound sophomore defensive back at Puyallup High School, facing people likeDarryl Franklin, who went on to play for the Huskies, and going head-on with a pair of 270-pound playersfrom Lakes High. It was, as Susee described it "a real growing experience." He did grow from it, and thenext year, as a junior, he was named All-South Puget Sound League. But the summer before hissenior year, he had an added responsibility placed on his shoulder pads. "I got a phone call from mycoach (Mike Huard)," Susee explained. "He said our quarterback had been in a head-on collision andwouldn't play again. The coach said he needed a quarterback and I had played in eighth and ninth grade." Susee spent the rest of the summer taking a crash course in quarter-backing. He passed with flyingcolors. Puyallup went from its usual dropback attack to one featuring rollouts and options. It workedwell enough that Susee was named an all-league quarterback as well as taking those honors again as adefensive back. Still, Susee prefers defense to offense. "It's a mentality thing. On offense, there's noway to improvise; you have to run the play. You can't use reaction and guess what's going on. Besides,I'd rather hit people Senior Kelly Susee keeps opposing offenses on the run. (Front file photo) than takethe punishment." After graduating from high school, Susee spent his first year of college at WashingtonState, then transferred to Western. When he arrived at Western in 1986, Susee was surprised to find he was an unknown. An injury to safety Jason Carnahan in the second game of the season placed Susee in the "THE PIZZA ALTERNATIVE"! lt;r# gt; "i*. T?

' 'When I didn't get the ones I should have, I started thinking about it, then I still didn't get anyand I started to put pressure on myself. It just got worse and worse." Head Coach Rob Smith offerssome other explanations.

Ask Western's head football coach Rob Smith. "He's the best collegiate tight end I'veseen in the Northwest, NCAA orNAIA." Ask offensive coordinator Phil Earley. "He's got all the tools ~size, strength, work ethic, a multitude of talent catching the ball, good strength and adequate speed. Iwould be surprised if at least Canadian Football League (CFL) teams didn't take a. long look at him."Ask Kirk Schneider. "I want to break Ken Sager's (school) record (of 53 receptions)." Don't get the wrong idea. Schneider isn't being cocky. He has a realistic chance to break the record. He led the Vikingswith 36 receptions for 501 yards and a touchdown last year. Those numbers were posted in a run-oriented offense. With Western installing the spread this year, and with Smith and Earley's declarationsthat Schneider must get the ball, the record could be in jeopardy. All this from a guy who had been outof organized football for five years prior to 1988. Schneider spent two of those five years as a catcher onthe Bellevue Community College baseball team. Catching helped Schneider develop the good hands that are his biggest asset as a tight end. "To play catcher, you need to have soft hands and be able to givewith the ball," Schneider explained. "You can't catch a 90-mile-per-hour fastball with a stiff elbow. Theycall a catcher a receiver, and they call me that in football, too. It's a little different concept, but it's stillthe same idea." Schneider got back into football in 1987, playing for a semi-pro team in Edmonds. Hedescribed the squad as ' 'really unorganized.'' The coaches quit after the first game. "We playedcommunity colleges and JV teams, and (former Western Coach) Paul Hansen saw me and recruitedme," Schneider said. "I wanted to finish my education, so I came up here. I also wanted to play footballagain." That Schneider was productive so quickly was amazing to Smith, the top assistant coach lastseason and the head mentor this year. "I was very surprised," Smith said. "You couldn't tell that he hadbeen away. It's ashamehe'll only get two years of college.football. With four, there's no telling how goodhe could be." Schneider's best game statistically in 1988 was against Puget Sound, when he had sixcatches for 109 yards. He also had two other games in which he had six catches. "I was a little rusty atthe beginning," Schneider said. "Probably my biggest adjustment was learning to block again. I'll bebetter at it this year. The blocking schemes in the new offense are easier for the tight end." The spreadwill also give Schneider room to operate in passing situations. Teams trying to double-cover himcould find the price quite high. ' 'If the defense tries to take away a receiver, we can still find ways to gethim the ball," Earley said.' 'But why should we? It will open up other people. If Kirk draws double-coverage, he's involved in our offense." Schneider led all CFA tight ends in receptions and receivingyardage. His totals were 13 catches and 202 Tight end Kirk Schneider. yards better than the first teamAll- CFA pick, Central Washington's Jon Bower. This will be Schneider's final year of college football,but he hopes it isn't his last year of football. "I hope to keep playing," he said. Pacemaker retires former offensive tackle Kingma By BUTCH KAMENA Special to the Front It's an ironic situation. KeithKingma, a starting offensive tackle for Western in 1988, feels healthy enough to return for his sophomore year. But what's helping him stay healthy is keeping him off the football field for good. Last June, apacemaker was inserted into Kingma's chest to help solve a heart rhythym problem. Because thepacemaker can't withstand hard blows, any kind of contact activity is out. "They don't even want youto play tennis close to the net because the ball might hityouhere," Kingma said, pointing to a spot justabove his heart where the pacemaker sits. The operation put an end to a promising collegiate career that had already been inhibited by injuries and ailments. A1986 graduate, of Sedro Wool-ley High School,Kingma was All- Northwest League in football and basketball and placed third in the shot put at a stateAA track meet. He spent his first year of college at the University of Puget Sound, but didn't playbecause of mononucleosis. After transferring to Skagit Valley Community College, Kingma came incontact with former Viking Coach Paul Hansen, who convinced him to come to Westerm. "I really didn'twant to quit football, and Western has always been one of my top two or three choices," Kingma said.In 1987, Kingma was on the Viking roster, but missed the entire season after tearing his right Achilles'tendon. Last fall, he finally overcame health problems and started all nine games at quick tackle,considered the most diffiuclt position on the offensive line because there's no help to the outside. Butsymptoms of his heart problem began to appear. While working out in the weight room during thewinter of 1987-88, Kingmanoticed he was getting lightheaded, but passed it off as insignificant.During the 1988 campaign and the following off-season, the dizzy spells continued to occur. "Duringspring conditioning, it got worse," Kingma said. "One day, I passed out on my feet. Then I knewsomething was wrong, but I blamed it on bad eating habits. The entire time.I thought thatl was just wayout of shape." Shortly thereafter, Kingma came down with the flu and went to West-em's student healthcenter. An irregular rhythym was noticed when his pulse was taken and Kingma was sent to hisdoctor in Sedro Woolley. ' 'It took about a month to figure out," Kingma said. "At first, they diagnosedone thing and tried to treat it, but it didn't work. They said I was okay, but when I went back to turnout, I had the same symptoms." Then, during final exams week of spring quarter, Kingma visited a' heartspecialist in Seattle. He planned to fish in Alaska this summer, as he had for the past few summers, and visit his girlfriend in California. But his summer plans changed after a visit to the heart specialist. "Helooked at the heart pictures and the EKG and said, 'You can't go to California; you can't go to Alaska.We've got to do some tests.'" So, instead of spending time on a fishing boat, Kingma spent eight daysat Harborview Medical Center. "They did a lot of tests," he said. "Cardiac catheterization, EKGs, EPSs,nuclear medicine, all kinds of junk. And too many needles: every morning at seven they poked me for ablood test." During that time, it was confirmed that Kingma had an irregular heart rhythym. A majorfactor in the dizziness was that his heart rate would accelerate for no reason. Kingma was put onmedication to regulate his heart rhythym, but it caused another problem. ' "The medication slowed myheart rate down too much," he explained. "My heart would pause for six or seven seconds. They decided a pacemaker was the answer. It would make the heart work whenever it paused.'' The pacemaker was inserted June 26. Kingma was sent home a day and a half later, but was told to take it easy for four tosix weeks. Now he's on theroad to recovery and, with a few adjustments, including no football, his lifeshould go on as normal. Kingma is now a visual communications education major and plans to returnto school as quickly as possible, this fall if money permits. ' 'My parents think I should wait," Kingmasaid. "Normally, I'm sitting on a big Alaska fishing check right now. But I don't want to waste threeyears of school, and I want an education." The coaching staff at Western lias been following Kingma'srecovery closely. "Our real concern is for Keith and his health," said Western Coach Rob Smith. "He'll recover and go on, but it will be without football." And, conversely, the Vikings will be without Kingma."He's an experienced offensive lineman who had three years of eligibility left," Smith said. "It will behard this year, but the loss will really be felt the next two seasons when we won't have a junior or seniorat that position." Kingma said, "I won't miss training camp or practice, but the games and beinginvolved with the team â€” I'll miss that. Some of my best friends are the players." Welcome BackStudents!

Now,it's shooting to be the best. The Vikings have had three straight 20-win campaigns, including a 21- 17record in 198 8, and, in the last two years, have defeated teams that went on to finish among the top fourat the NAIA National Tournament (Western Oregon in 1987, Lewis Clark State in 1988). What CoachChris Hartmann (3rd year, 46-33) would like to see now is some consistency. ' 'We've beaten some ofthe best teams in the region," Hartmann said, "then turned around and lost to teams that don't evenmake the district tournament. We need to eliminate the losses in matches we shouldn't lose. If we dothat, we should have a solid record, with 25 to 30 wins." That consistency may come with maturity.Although the team has no seniors, eight letter-winners return, Chris Hartmann including three starters.Five of the returnees are entering their third year. Still, some holes need to be filled. Three starters,middle blocker Laura Lindsay and power hitters Lori Hahn and Christie Erskine, have graduated. Allthree were all-district selections last year, but Hartmann be-1 Iieves their departure can be overcome through team togetherness. Christy Buck "I don't think that any of the players think they are the star,"Hartmann said. "They understand that the strategies we set up are for six people and that they take sixpeople working hard all the time. It's very much a team effort." "That's only going to help. In crunch time,that cohesion will help keep the team together." The leading returnees for Western are a pair ofjuniors, 5-foot-6 setter Christy Buck and 5-foot-8 power hitter Lorrie Post. Last season, Post led theteam in digs with 298 and was fourth in kills with 147 while playing as the offside hitter. "Lorrie doesn't make as many hitting errors as our past power hitters," Hartmann said of Post. "She's good atreacting to sets that aren't perfect. She also takes pride in her defense. When Lome's on, she can get to anything, anywhere in the court." Buck was the lone setter in Western's 5-1 attack last year, andranked ninth nationally with 9.11 assists per game. She also led the team in service aces with 47. "Shereally came on well and should be one of the top setters in the league," said Hartmann. "Christy hascome forward as a real team leader. She's become a smarter player, she looks at the whole game,controlling what goes on." Unlike 1988, Buck will not have to shoulder the setting load alone. With the addition of 5-foot-6 junior transfer Kim Kolody from Warner Pacific College, the Vikings may have thetwo best setters in the district. Kolody, a two-year starter for the Knights, was a two-time all-Northwest League pick in high school. "Kim is a good reaction setter," Hartmann said. "She can take abad pass and get a good set to the hitters. Both our setters will do a great job. They complement eachother quite well." early last fall, then returned to the Your STUDY ABROAD office will make you a part-time traveler as a full time student. CHECK IT OUT!

"People are going to see me do things I haven't done for quite awhile," Lohr said. Lohr spent his first three seasons as a tailback in the "I" formation, but this year willbe the lone back in Western's new spread offense. It's a familiar spot for Lohr, who played three years ina single-back offense in high school. "I'm excited about it," said Lohr. "There's designed plays, butinstead "People are going to see me do things I haven't done for quite a while," Lohr said. - Scott Lohrof hitting a specific hole, I get the ball and go for daylight. In high school, that was my style." Not thatLohr had floundered in the "I". He's third on Western's career rushing list with 2,192 yards. Lastseason, he scored a school-record of 13 touchdowns, 12 of them on the ground. "One thing about the"I" â€” the tailback is the main ball carrier," Lohr said. "If we were inside the five- or 10-yard line, I got the ball. I ended up scoring a lot of touchdowns. That's any running back's dream, and I hope itcontinues, but it's not a major theme. I want to win; it doesn't matter who's scoring." Phil Earley,offensive coordinator, said, "I have a lot of respect for Scott. He has talent, but he's also worked hisbutt off." "As an offensive coordinator, I'd like to surround myself with people like Scott Lohr." RobSmith, Western's head coach, said, "Scott is the epitome of a team player. He was excited about ournew offense because he felt it would be good for us as a team, not just good for Scott Lohr." Lohr cameto Western in 1986. Initially, he shared time with John Dickinson, then earned the starting spot in thesixth game. He's started every game since, steadily getting better and better. "It's easy to see thechanges," Earley said. "He's workedhardin the off-season. He's one of our best people in the weightroom. In the spring, he showed moves I've never seen from him before. His hands, which were onlyaverage as a freshman, have become excellent." Lohr credits much of his success to the offensivelinemen in front of him clearing holes. "My philosophy is that without them, I'm just'another guy off thestreet," Lohr said. "As a running back, you depend on the line to make holes. I try to let them know how I feel, how important they are to my success." Lohr is enthusiastic and confident about this season,but not cocky. "Six months from now, if you asked me what my best memories of football at Westernwere; I might say my senior year. I see us accomplishing great things. Still, you have to be careful not to say too much before you've proven yourself." Scott Lohr has proven himself. He'll go down as one ofthe best backs Western has ever had, both on and off the field.

The win made Rob Smith's head coaching debut a successful one. Smith,who coordinated Western's defense last year, takes over for former Viking head coach Paul Hansen,who was fired at the conclusion of last year's 5-4 season. In picking up his first coaching win, Smithrelied on a mix of old and new talent. Senior tailback Scott Lohr, the Vikings' premiere offensive playerlast year, rushed for 135 yards on 33 carries. Last year, Lohr averaged over 100 yards rushing a game.Western's experienced corps of receivers Mike Carrington and Jake Bell, as well as tight end KirkSchneider, were vital parts of the Vikings' 238-yard passing attack. After trailing 7-6 in a tentativelyplayed first half (Western scored on two Dan Clemensen field goals), Carrington put Western ahead forgood, 12-6, with a 42-yard touchdown pass reception in the third quarter. Hurling that pass wasWestern's new quarterback. Kirk Kriskovich. Now a senior, Kriskovich started as quarterback forWestern in 1985 and 1986 and set a Western record in 1985 by completing 58 percentof his SiiBBIiBljBil SiiiiiiiiiiiiB passes. He elected not to play in 1987 and 1988. His return to action is timely for Western,as last year's starting signal callers, John Barger and Matt Mikesell, have both decided not to play this year. Despite being a little rusty from his two-year layoff, Kriskovich completed 16 of 25 passes with two touchdowns and no interceptions against Whitworth. In the second quarter, Kriskovich took his firstsolid hit in a couple years, and it took him a little while to get the cobwebs out. "I kind of got dinged inthe second quarter, and my bell was ringing," Kriskovich said.' 'After that I turned the wrong way ona couple of plays and couldn't really remember which way to go." But Kriskovich came back in thesecond half, throwing the touchdown pass to Carrington and an 8-yard scoring strike to his 6-foot-4, all-league, tight end Schneider. Schneider's catch put Western ahead, 18-7, late in the third quarter. Afterthat touchdown, the Pirates picked up their last two points on Western's conversion try, returning afumble 87 yards to the Vikings' end zone. Lohr scored Western's final touchdown on a 7-yard run latein the fourth quarter. That run capped a 71 - yard drive. Offensively, the Vikings racked up 359 totalyards, running Rob Smith's new "spread" offense. The new scheme puts three receivers on the line ofscrimmage, while leaving only one running back in the backfield. Kriskovich said the "spread" offenseforces defenses to do just that (spread), in order to cover the extra receiver. "By spreading the defenseout you create lanes for the run,'' Kriskovich said. "It (the one running back ' spread offense') uses theentire field to your whole advantage." Western's defense, headed by experienced defensive backs KellySusee (11 tackles) and Steve Glover (two interceptions) had an overpowering second half after gettingoff to a slow start. "In the first half, we were pretty tentative," Susee said. "But we came out in thesecond half and said, 'if we make a mistake, we're going to do it going 100 percent.'" The Vikings'defense allowed Whitworth only two first downs in the second half. Mark Linden, the Pirates' starrunning back, was limited to only 20 yards rushing in the second half. In the first half. Linden picked up70 yards on the ground. ' 'The key was being able to stop Mark Linden," Smith said. "We shut down the run and forced them to pass."' i H j ^ ^ ^ ^ r J r J H H r J - ^ J ' J f J r J f J c j c ^ vet es the not his iive at om an DRIVE-IN THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT...

The last time the Vikings averaged twogoals a game was 1982. Some years, including last season, the team's leading scorer had only fourgoals. But 1989 should be an exception. Western has found an offensive punch Kevin Quinn that couldpush the'Vikings to postseason play. ' 'In the past, we haven't been an exciting team offensively, butthis year is going to be different," said Head Coach Kevin Quinn (3rd year, 9-14-2). "Weare going to bescoring a lot, and everyone is going to be attacking." Last season, Western placed second in the northdivision of NAIA District 1. A berth in the district playoff slipped away when the Vikings lost to national powerhouse Simon Fraser, 3-2, after leading 2-0 midway through the second half in a game thatdetermined first place in the division. With 12 letter winners and eight of 11 starters returning from lastyear's 5-foot-9 freshman-laden squad, and the addition of some talented new faces, Western looks tohave one of its best teams in many seasons. ' 'Last year, we were a very young team but I think theplayers learned a lot," Quinn said. "We lost two guys, Simon Evans and Kevin Bell, but I think we havethe guys to fill their shoes." Two new players - forwards Peter LaBarge and Dennis Lapchis â€” areexpected to provide the offensive fireworks. LaBarge, a placekicker and punter on Western's footballteam the past four years, earned first-team NAIA All-America honors in 1988 as he led the nation inpunting and was a three-time all-league choice in soccer in high school. Quinn will give LaBarge thefreedom to roam the field, looking for ways to create scoring chances. "We have to get him the ball,"Quinn said of LaBarge.' 'When you've got a guy with his capabilities, you let him shoot all the time, evenbe a .bit greedy." Lapchis returns after sitting out last season. In 1987, he led Viking scorers with fivegoals and two assists and earned second-team all-district honors. ' 'We were really young last year,''Quinn said,' 'and with a young team you try to work from the defense out. But with Peter and Dennis upfront, I think we'll be strong both ways now. Dennis is a target man and he is going to get Peter the ball,no question about it." Those two will be joined by junior transfer Cliff Potter, an all-league choice andleading scorer at Skagit Valley Community College. If that group can provide offense, it will be a healthysupplement to a defense stocked with returnees. The entire back line and midf ield are back, as well asboth goalkeepers. Four players earned honorable mention all-district honors in 1988 â€” sophomoregoalkeeper Paul Maycock, sophomore fullbacks Steve Bowmer and Dave Miller and junior midfielderTom Venable. Venable will play the center midfield position, triggering the transition from offense todefense. He'll be flanked by a pair of returning starters - Kolya Rice and Chris San-tee. Miller will playstopper and be flanked by Bowmer and either returning starter Jason Woodward or transfer Darin Koob from Edmonds Community College. At sweeper, two starters return.

It isn't much of a vacation. In fact, the trip is closer to a bootcamp. Lastyear, his team lost six straight games to start the season. At press time, the '89 squad had dropped their first three games in California. They lost to Stanford, ranked twelfth nationally, 0-5, California BrendaBock State-Hayward (rated number one for NCAA Division II) 0-4 and California- Davis 1-4. "We had avery instructional trip to California," Garguile said. ' 'lii our first game against Stanford, we didn't realizewhat we were coming up against, but it gave us the experience of playing good pressure ball.'' Theyspent eight losing days together in California. Garguile said one of the main benefits of a season-beginning road trip is it brings the team together. "They get to know each other real quick," Garguilesaid. ' 'We came back with the idea we have a lot to work on," Garguile said. "That sounds like aproblem but its not. I want them to be humble because the only way they will beat somebody is to workhard." Back in '84, the women's soccer team was ending a three-year, 38- game winning streak, butthey faced easier competition than current schedules. "I feel better losing to Stanford than blowingsomeone out 11-0," Garguile said. "I want to win, but I want to feel good about it. ' 'Its okay if you loseand still can say your kids played well, but I hate to lose to a team when I should have won." Garguile is satisfied with the work habits of his team since returning from California. A typical day ol practice hasthe players out at 8 a.m. for an hour-and-a-half run which includes Sehome Hill. Next, a regular two-hour practice takes place ir. the early afternoon, followed by ar hour-long swim. The day ends with teammeetings in the evening. "They want it. They know we are looking at their attitudes," Garguile said. " Ithink coming back the way they have (from California), is much better than I've seen in a couple ofyears." The difficult season-starting road trip worked well last year. They won their last eight games, theNorthwest Collegiate Soccer Conference championship and beat number one nationally- rankedPuget Sound 3-2. Overall, they posted a 9-7-2 record. ' 'Last year we peaked perfectly. Each game wegot better," Garguile said.

Also returning is three-year starting goalie Trina Angehrn. Garguile saiddespite a bruised hip, Angehrn played an incredible game against Stanford. Three year letterer KimKeller, named All-NCSC last year, will contribute as "a leader with a good attitude and spirit," Garguilesaid. Sophomore Tami McDaniel, a. dangerous striker who scored six goals last year, is also expectedto shine. Staci McAfee, described as a solid ballplayer by Garguile, should contribute this year. DaleLetendre, voted athlete of the week as a result of her play in California, is another player to watch. ' 'Theteam felt she was the hardest working and the most productive," Garguile said. "She scored theonly goal in California when she dribbled through two (players) and kicked the ball in the top rightcorner." Overall, Garguile has eight returning letterers, including five seniors, with ten new playersmixed in. "The people coming back are real dedicated, especially the seniors," Garguile said. Garguilelikes his team to play a controlled style. "Most goals are scored on mistakes and then capital- DominicGarguile izing on them," Garguile said.' 'We need to force opponents to make mistakes." BritishColumbia, beaten by the Vikings 1 -0 last year, is probably the toughest team Western will face thisyear. Garguile said they play an aggressive and physical game. "They beat you up. Canadian soccer isvery physical,", he said. "They come at you hard, with the attitude of taking both the ball and the player." With Garguile's southern bootcamp having served its purpose, Western women's soccer team shouldbe ready to go north when they face British Columbia Sept. 27.

"It's hard to go out and make yourself run between five andten miles every day," Halsell said. "It takes a lot of diligence to train hard enough to get your potentialout." Pee Wee, as he likes to be called, gets his inspiration for running from a source many use asinspiration for life. Halsell turns to the Bible and 1 Corinthians 9:24, which reads, "You know that in arace all the runners run. But only one gets the prize. So run like that. Run to win! All these who compete in the games use strct training." Halsell believes the men's team, â€¢ if they train hard enough, have ashot at the district title. They may even have a chance to be in the top ten nationally at the end of theyear, * 'We have a shot, but it is pre:ty tough to go to a national meet and win," Halsell said, reflectingupon the absence of a national championship in Western,sports history. "Of course, we have to finishin the top two in district first (to go to the national meet)." To make it into the national meet is a trifleeasier this year. Pacific Lutheran University, which edged out the Vikings by only 12 points (44-58) lastyear, placed in the top ten nationally, enabling the district to send not one team, like last year, but twoteams to the Nov. 18 national tournament to be held in Kenosha, Wis. PLU lost three of their top fiverunners from last season, although they do have good backups, Halsell said. This opens the door a littlewider for Western, which returns all of its starters. ' 'They know we will be tough, but it is no shoe-in,and it never is," Halsell said. "We may be the favorite, but we'll have to earn our spot. Neal SherryOFFICE PRODUCTS .

Sherry, a two-time all-district runner, was third at the district meet last year, and 64th at the nationals. Another top cross countryrunner is Matt Ruhl, senior and co-captain, who "starts out slow and steadily increases his speed,"Halsell said. Other runners with their eye on the nationals are: Mike Gates, last year's captain andsecond fastest marathoner at the 1988 districtmeet; junior Mike Wallace, a consistent runner with strong concentration (who placed fifteenth in the district); and Craig Hanson (ninth in the district). Halsellexpects some darkhorses to break into the coveted seven-man team sport. "Out of a team of 40 people, there are going to be some people who do better than I would expect,'' Halsell said. The women's teamdoesn't appear to have the force the men's team has, having lost three of their top five from a teamwhich placed fifth out of seven in the district. ' 'I think that our team is going to be a strong team still,"Halsell said. "We had a good summer of recruiting. We have more depth than in the past, and the topthree teams make it to the nationals this year." Unfortunately, District 1, Western's district, is one ofthe toughest in the country. PLU won the national Kelvin "Pee Wee" Halsell championship last year, and University of Puget Sound, Simon Fraser and Central Washington all field strong women's teams.Leading the pack will be senior Lynne Reder, who came in 26ih in See CROSS on page 18 WELCOMEBACK STUDENTS!

Last year, the motto was "Taking it to the top."While some Western sports did enjoy lofty successes last year, a few of the sports in 1988 ended theirseasons by adopting the more realistic motto of "Making it to the middle." The football team posted a5-4 record, which isn't bad considering past seasons, but not even close to a top championship seasonlike the villainous Central Washington team experienced last year when they went 9-0, beatingWestern 37-20. Men's soccer didn't even "Make it to the middle." Granted, they were a young team, but a 5-9 season is closer to "Bumbling to the bottom." Several teams last year didn't fit any of the threepossible mottos. Volleyball went 21-17 and reached the playoffs. Women's soccer kicked their way toa9-7-2 record. May be an "Aching to be above average" motto would have been appropriate. . The teamswhich deserved the "top" classification included men's basketball, which just missed a nationalchampionship tournament berth by losing to Central (note: Viking fans hate Central sports), but was stillranked the seventh-best NAIA team in the nation. Women's basketball also took it to the top by going30-5. This brings us to 1989. This year's motto is "On the move." Gee, what a swell idea, athletesactually moving. Western sports should really floor their opponents â€” this year they will actually be inmotion. "On the move," but which way, up or down? An examination of recent Western sportsphenomena is in order. A rookie football coach is hired and over 50 applications blitz the sportsdepartment's mailbox. Couple that statistic with the fact that assistant coaches work about 15 hours a day, and the pay is lousy. "It is a reflection on the university getting applications from all over thecountry," football Coach Rob Smith said. "We could not have done any better." Last year, athleticscholarships became a reality for the first time. Women's cross country, which two years ago had eightwilling runners, now has 17. Both football and basketball coaches rave about their recruits. Footballcoach Smith points to a new "spread" offense and basketball coach Brad Jackson said a "fast-paced"style of game is drawing quality players into Carver Gym and onto the Civic Field. Women's basketballlost two key players, but picked up two new "top" roundballers. There is a tradition of winning beingslowly built at Western. This includes the track and golf teams, which have been in contention for district titles recently. "Western has become a very popular university," Smith said. "Our ability to recruit is anextension of that. This is.a very easy place to sell to a student athlete. "We recruit during the winter.We take them to a basketball game, then around the community and campus," Smith said. Okay.Western is both taking it to the top and on the move. This year's football team looks to be the strongestgroup assembled in many a year. The b-ball teams have reloaded. Cross country is up and running. Andboth soccer teams have high numbers of starters returning from last year. But an appropriate motto?How about "Crush Central." Four former athletes inducted into Western's Hall of Fame Three formerfootball players and one former women's basketball player have been named to Western's Sports Hall ofFame. The four Western Washington University athletes have been selected as the 14th class ofinductees into the Viking Hall of Fame. Those athletes include: Willis Ball (1953-1956), Pat Locker(1976-1979) and Everett 'Tye" Tiland (1947-1950), all of whom played football and Charmon Odle (1974-1977), women's basketball player. Last Saturday, the foursome was recognized at a brunch at the home of Western President Kenneth Mortimer and then introduced at halftime of the Vikings' football gameversus Western Oregon at Civic Stadium.

Willis Ball earnedhonorable mention in the Associated Press Little All-America honors in 1955 as a defensive tackle. Thefirst black graduate of Western in 1956, Ball also received honorable mention United Press InternationalAll-Coast and All-Evergreen Conference honors in 1953. A football co-captain in 1954 and 1955, Ballwas a finalist for Whatcom County Sports Man of the Year honors in 1954. Ball died on April 9,1987,shortly after his retirement from the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation. Pat Locker was theonly player in I Northwest collegiate football history to reach the 4,000 yard mark in career rushing,finishing with 4,049. Picked to three All-America teams and named the college offensive player of theyear for the state of Washington in 1979, Locker set 12 school records, including most yards rushedin a game (225) and season (1,340). The Ferndale High School graduate ran for more than 100 yards in a game 21 times during his career. Twice Whatcom County Sports Personality of the Year andWestern ' s Athlete of the Year, Locker was a four-time Little All-Northwest, NAIA District one all-starand All- Evergreen Conference selection. His jersey, No. 24, was retired by Western's Athletic.Department. Everett "Tye" Tiland was a second team Associated Press Little All- America pick as amiddle linebacker in 1950, helping then Coach Charles Lappenbusch's Vikings to a 7-2-1 record. He was a two-time All-Evergreen Conference choice. Also a two-year letter winner in baseball as a thirdbaseman, Tiland graduated from Arlington High School. He coached and taught for 31 years, 26 atAnacortes High School before retiring in 1984. Charmon Odle was the first woman selected WesternAthlete of the Year, receiving that honor in 1976. She was also the first women's player to score 1,000career points and is still ranked in the top ten at Western in points scored and is the school's careerleader in steals with 273. Odle, who was named to area and regional all-tournament teams in 1976, held11 school records when she graduated. ^Afcf^ In the Bellingham Towers lobby 119 N.

"He isthe right guy for that position right now,"Smith said. "He is a leader and has a fiery spirit. He is thetype of person we want." Because the spread offense is complicated and out of the ordinary, Smithneeded a quarterback with experience. Kriskovich is a fifth year senior, is accurate and has thenecessary experience. The defense is also going through changes, but it is more fine tuning for thedefense, as opposed to the rebuilt offensive engine. Last year, sack leader Cory Heins playedlinebacker, where he frequentiy had to drop back to cover receivers. Smith decided to move Heins to thedefensive end position. "Cory is a big-play type player," Smith said. "The move to end allows him tomake the big plays. His strong point is rushing the passer. "Heins is at his best when he can pin hisears back and go for it," Smith said. Smith is also moving senior defensive back Mike Minnehan to the rover position in a new five defensive back formation. This should allow Minnehan to pick off a fewpasses. Minnehan intercepted four passes in the last six games of 1988. "Minnehan is a guy who will hit you and really lay a lick on you," Smith said. The Vikings will play the same 4-2 defense as last year,but emphasize perimeter coverage and aggression. "We're going to have all 11 guys running to thefootball," Smith said. "We're an attacking defense, not a read and hold defense." But you don't have totake risks to be aggressive," Smith said. "It is not a do-or-die situation." A big difference from last year is in the special teams category. Peter LaBarge, An Ail-American punter and placekicker last year, is stillkicking for Western. The problem is he is doing it for the soccer team. His four years of football eligibility ran out last season. LaBarge became the first player in Western history to lead the nation in astatistical category (42.5 yards per punt in NAIA Division II). Smith said he will not be able to replaceLaBarge's contributions. LaBarge is fifth among all-time NAIA career leaders in field goals with 44, andholds 15 Western records.

Running back Mike Wagner, named South Bay Player of the Year by the Los Angeles Times is probably the best of the group. Smithdescribed the five-feet seven-inch 165-pounder as a quick darter who runs low to the ground. Wagnerscored 29 touchdowns as a high school senior. Rob Smith Shane Volkmann is another top recruit.Out of Lake Stevens High School, Volkmann, an All-State pick in 1987, red-shirted at Boise State lastyear. "He was a tremendous high school athlete," Smith said. "He will play this year at defensive back."Smith took Chris Withevspoon sight unseen out of Alaska's Eagle River High School. "He is a realpleasant surprise," Smith said about the freshman cornerback. "He has speed, is an excellent athletewho will play a lot of football for Western." "Realistically, I could mention every freshman," Smith said."It is an outstanding group ." These changes are important, and except for the loss of LaBarge, thechanges appear to strengthen the team. The biggest strength for Western is, however, not the newformations, recruits or coaches, but the returning players. Seven defensive and six offensive startersreturn from last years 5- 4 team. Seven of those returners started in 1987 when the Vikings posted a 4-3-2 season. Two-time All-CFA first-team selection Scott Lohr has led the Vikings in rushing the pastthree years. Lohr has scored 23 touchdowns and needs only four more to set the school record. Thespread offense should force opposing teams to devote more coverage to the receivers, giving Lohr theopportunity for some impressive statistics. "Lohr is one of the premier backs in this league," Smith said."We expect big things from Lohr. He has so much heart and desire. He's not a big play guy, but he'll get you five, six, seven yards, then break one for 15 or 20." Senior wide receiver Mike Car-rington andsenior tight end Kirk Schneiderxgive Western two threatening pass weapons. Schneider, a second-team led Western last year in pass receptions with 36. "I don't think there is a better tight end in thenorthwest at any level, NCAA or NAIA," Smith said. "He combines outstanding athletic ability withintelligence and a tremendous work ethic. We're going to design parts of our offense to take advantage of his talents." Smith said Carrington is deceptive, because he is faster than he appears. He also is adeep threat. "We wouldn't be very smart CROSS Continued from page 16 last year's district meet.Barbara Lavery is also returning from last year's team. Halsell said there are a lot of young,inexperienced runners on his team, and this may be a problem area. Among the most promising are: Jill Bruner, district champ in the marathon but untested in cross country; Katie Buzzard, a freshman from Lynnwood High School (AA cross country champions); Jennifer Sible, whose times rank her close toReder; and Lisa Waltenburg, a transfer student from Bellevue Community College. In 1987, whenHalsell first became cross-country coach, only eight women turned out. Ten turned out last year. Thisseason, 17 runners showed up. "I think we are starting to get a tradition started," Halsell said."Hopefully, it will be a national tradition." Knowing where Halsell gets his inspiration, itmay be both ahope and a prayer. if we did not give Carrington the ball," Smith said. Anchoring the offense are tworeturning starters on the offensive line. Kevin Beason and Jeff Bakkom should give quarterbackKriskovich time to throw and Lohr room to run. "They have experience, which is the key to making things happen," Smith said. "Beason is an all-star candidate." The offense looks strong, but Smith said thekey to his first season as head coach rests on the defense, at least during the first part of the season, since it may take time for the offense to understand the. spread. Joining Heins up front defensivelyis Rudy Grandbois, who had 60 tackles and three sacks last year. "He is our best defensive lineman and he will get the majority of the action," Smith said. "His job will be to stop the run first." It would seem the defensive linebacker positions would be a major problem this year, due to the graduaton of bothNick Erick-sen and Dan Wolin. Smith doesn't think it will. "I was concerned at first," Smith said. "Butwith the players we've recruited and the development of the players already in the program, I'mconfident in who we have." The secondary looks to be the strength of not only the defense, but theentire team. Seniors Kelly Susee and Minnehan, along with All-CFA pick Walter Bailey and cornerbackSteve Glover all return as starters from the 1988 team. Outstanding recruit Volkmann may also helpan already tough secondary. Susee has had an enjoyable camp, in comparison to previous years,Smith said. Last year, Susee M had nagging injuries and also was used as a backup quarterback. "Hehas been able to concentrate on one position and if he stays away from injuries, he will have asuccessful year," Smith said. Bailey also will help the special teams as a kick returner. He set a 'CFA record when he went 89 yards for a touchdown against Pacific Lutheran. Smith believes the newchanges in personnel and strategy, as well as the experience of his returning players, puts Western in M a position to compete in what is considered one of the toughest NAIA leagues in the nation. PacificLutheran has been in the national championship game four times in the 80s. Linfield won two nationaltitles during the same time span. Then there is arch-rival || Central Washington. "Central is one of thewin-ningest teams in the last two years," Smith said. "This is the toughest Division U league in thecountry and Central went 9-0 last year. They are well coached." All of the hard work the' coaches andplayers put in toward a winning season may be mute if injuries expose Western's biggest weakness.Lack of depth. "It is a concern in every position except tight end and linebacker," Smith said,knocking on. the wood of his desk to insure himself against the possibility of injuries. "Injuries willdetermine the type of season we have." Injuries may determine the win-loss record, but there is nodoubt Western's football team will be exciting to watch and for- rookie ^ coach Rob Smith, a change from last year. DIRECTOR Continued from page 2 the opportunity to travel once a year with one of theteams, as well as provide 10 season tickets. "A lot of people renewed their tickets from last year,"Goodrich said. "There is a definite increase over last year." Last year was the first year Western started allocating athletic scholarships, and they went primarily to the basketball programs, she said. "I cannever envision where basketball will have 15 full-rides," Goodrich said. "Our athletes get anything frompartial tuition to full tuition and room and board." "We even had some situations where a coach came inand said this person really needs help with tui-' tion." Available money limits the number ofscholarships. Western has about 430 athletes and only $22,000- $25,000 in the scholarship fund,Goodrich said. Money aside, Goodrich is anx-' ious for the fall season to begin. "I'm looking for thesuccess of our teams, and that includes academics. Hopefully, we *re on the move for a nationalchampionship."

John Browne of the public safetydepartment. "Because students view their residence hall room as the same as the room in their parent'shome rather than an apartment, they're setting themselves up as victims," Browne said. "Like anapartment, the room should always be locked." Another type of a crime of opportunity occurs in public places like the library or other open study areas. Often students will leave study materials spread outon a table, and then leave the area unattended. Calculators and books have been known to disappear,said David Doughty, chief of public safety. ' 'In these cases, the action of the student makes him avictim," Doughty said. Break-ins are the second most common crimes on campus, Browne said, adding that incidents usually involve vehicles being broken into rather than residence hall rooms. Doughty andBrowne suggest students, on and off campus, have tenant insurance, record identifying numbers ontheir property, and if none exist, record a driver's license number on the items. Campus security willsponsor a program on property protection and crime protection on the individual invitations of theresidence hall staffs. Harassment is a problem many Western women will encounter sometime duringtheir stay here, Browne said. On a national average, "thirty percent of the women will get unsolicitedcontact on campus â€” for example, a flasher or a prank call â€” during a 4-year period, "he said.Browne suggests students who receive harassing phone calls report the incident to the BellinghamPolice. He advises not to engage the caller in a conversation. Rather, immediately hang up anddisconnect the phone for the evening. Some services the security officers provide include helpingindividuals into locked cars, loaning out jumper cables â€” though they can't use the security vehiclefor liability reasons â€” and providing escort services. People may request a security escort to or fromtheir vehicles, academic building or residence hall by simply calling campus security's main office at676-3555. The department performs the service as part of a personal safety policy. The escort service islimited to the campus boundaries. The department has three patrol cars that cruise the campus 24-hours a day. The security officers are limited to non-commissioned duties. Officers do not carry armsand are not allowed to make arrests or write citations. If an assault is encountered, all a campussecurity officer can do is use his radio to call the Bellingham Police, Doughty said. "The officers are alltrained, highly-qualified police officers â€” even being paid as police officers, but they just aren't doing the work,'' Doughty said.

(Front file photo) Mortimer recognizes IBM for contributions to Western Western President Kenneth P. Mortimerrecognized IBM July 14 for its innovative partnership with the university. IBM selected Western five years ago to develop instructional software and supplied the university with nearly $1 million in personalcomputers, plus other support. Corporate representatives Patricia Day, Mary Pat Griswold and PeterDean accepted plaques in honor of the three-year project. Mortimer said IBM made a significantcontribution to raising the quality of the undergraduate experience at Western. Most of the 192computers provided under the agreement are housed in student labs, including a lab in the RossEngineering Technology Building, where the presentation took place. The partnership resulted in thecreation of the Western Educational Software Tool (WEST) Center, which developed numerousinstructional programs now being marketed. Western was especially selected to develop the PROPIauthoring system, which simplifies the writing of instructional programs for use by other universities,schools and industries. Dean, who was instrumental in bringing the contract to Western, said it wasunquestionably one of IBM's most successful programs for making computers a part of university life.' 'IBM has a serious commitment to education," said Day. volved in court proceedings resulting fromthe Board's decommissioning of the officers last year after voting not to arm them in 1987. ' 'We arevery optimistic it will be solved in the near future, but we aren't sure what the outcome will be," Doughtysaid.Meanwhile, "we don't do any law enforcement work," he said. Doughty and Browne are members of the campus security force, a division of the public safety department. The department employs 10officers, two part-time dispatchers, two locksmiths, one secretary, nine student dispatchers, eightresident $reÂ«ncoats and, in the past, nine student rovers. Because of budget difficulties, Doughtyis unsure whether the department will have the funds to support the rovers. Robinson appointed toBoard Gov. Booth Gardner recently appointed Mary R.

Some schoolwork kept residents and guests on campus,but Bellingham's attractions - waterfront parks, shaded trails, attractive shops - lured many away. At theend of the six-week session, yet another group of soon-to-be graduates, the 90th in Western's history,walked Memory Lane clad in caps and gowns. As summer draws to a close, college life will begin againat Western. The yawns of students shuffling to their 8 a.m. classes, laughter drifting through Red Squareand the intense silence present when students begin their studies are all too familiar sounds. But aswith most things in life, not everyone had the chance to play all day during the summer months. Thetypically small Western Front staff, as usual, was kept busier than they would have liked. Editor KimHauser, doubling as features editor, headed this summer's staff. Others included Star Rush, managingeditor; Ellis Baker, news editor; Brad Ellis, photo editor; Jennifer Wynn, copy editor; Joel West,typesetter/illustrator; and Mike Carroll, editorial cartoonist. Reporters were Rob Martin, David J. Sienko,Robert Sherry, Andrea Snyder and Mark Talkington. Carolyn Dale served as adviser. Campus shuttleprovides late-night runs By STAR RUSH summer staff member Students on campus during theevenings without viable transportation don't have to worry about finding a ride after late studysessions or on-campus events thanks, in part, to the University Residences-sponsored shuttle busservice. The shuttle begins daily service at 7 p.m. from the Viking Union. It leaves the VU on the hourand the half hour and stops at all Whatcom Transit Authority stops. For ten cents per rider, the shuttleprovides a safe and secure ride home after Bellingham Transit buses cease their runs, said Chuck Hart,University Residences conference manager. "Though we don't make any money on it, when you seehow many students use it -\it makes sense," he added. "And we see a lot of heavy use on weekendsbecause Bellingham buses aren't running." Western Evening Student Transit, the shuttle's officialname, goes from the Viking Union to High Street and Highland Drive, turning left at Kappa-Theta Hall.The route continues down West Campus Way, eventually turning right onto Bill McDonald Parkway. The shuttle's route mainly covers south Bellingham from Bill McDonald Parkway to Harris and 24thStreets. ' 'We chose the route able to serve the most people," Hart said. "The shuttle used to go towards the north end of town toward Alabama Street, but we found those people usually had cars (to travel tocampus)." With the increase of apartments built in the city's south end, the shuttle is meeting the needs of even more people, he added. And with parking availability slowly disappearing on campus, itbecomes an even more attractive alternative for students wanting to participate in on-campus activities.The shuttle operates similarly to city buses, Hart said. "If people let the drivers know where they want togo, they'll get them close to there.'' At the request of Wilson Library and the VU, the shuttle now returnsto the VU at 11 p.m. for one final run. This extended service provides service to students, staff andfaculty that work on campus until 11 p.m. The shuttle does not pick up passengers along the route after11 p.m. "Last year, we received calls in appreciation that the shuttle was around, especially with itbeing so cold and icy during the evening," Hart said, adding that it only missed one run last year. "There has been some talk of using a larger van, but that won't probably be happening until the fall of 1991,"said David Kincaid, Physical Plant fiscal manager. University Residences funds the shuttle at a costof S13,100 per year, Hart said. The 10 cent fee helps to defray the costs.

Personal Designer software, the brainchild of 4D Graphics President Steve Ford, is widely used by mechanical designers, drafters and engineers in a variety of industries worldwide. Itoffers capabilities ranging from straightforward two-dimensional drafting to sophisticated three-dimensional geometric modeling, smooth surface shading and finite element modeling and analysis. Interim technology department Director Dick Vogel said the gift will enable students to have access tomainframe quality software on IBM PS/2 Model 80 personal computers. Installation was completed July5. Former Western student Jim Merrick, now extended support services manager at4D Graphics,helped make the gift possible. Merrick said it was his research into computer-aided drafting (CAD)systems while at Western that led him to his position with 4D Graphics five years ago, when CAD was an exploding industry. He will provide technical support to the department during the coming year.The gift is part of an educational grant program through which Prime and 4D Graphics are placing 1,200systems valued at $7 million at institutions of higher learning nationwide. . Other institutionsbenefiting from the program include Texan A M University, University of California in Los Angeles(UCLA), Yale University and the University of Lowell, Mass. Shannon Point gets marine equipment By ELLIS BAKER summer staff member A wave of the future lapped the Shannon Point Marine Center'slabs this summer in the form of state-of-the- art, high performance, liquid chromotypography equipment.This versatile equipment can identify samples of everything from petroleum to fatty acids to nutrients inseawater, said Stephen Sulkin, the center's director. The equipment, currently in the center's "dry" lab,will be housed in an analytical lab - to be constructed in what is now a maintenance workshop. ANational Science Foundation grantpaid for the chromotypography equipment. Renovation to create theanalytical lab is funded by Western's capital improvement budget. Also within the $264,000allocation are monies to replace the center's seawater system. The center, 40 miles south ofBellingham, houses a fresh seawater aquarium system of about 40 tanks - home to crab larvae, squid,sea urchins, starfish and other marine life â€” used in research. "The present pipe system is strainedto fill all the tanks. The new system will fill all of the tanks and more," Sulkin said. About half of thetanks are i cur - rently used. Construction of a more efficient system this year will increase water flowby 50 percent and require less maintenance. In addition, year-round access to the marine environmentdraws researchers from around the nation and the world. University of Arizona graduate AlanHarveywill arrive at Shannon Point this fall to begin a two-year study of tropical land crabs. ' 'He chose to come here because he needed to study the larval forms and he knew we had the facilities and theexpertise," Sulkin said. Harvey was awarded a post-doctoral research fellowship â€” the mostprestigious award for a young scientist â€” by the National Science Foundation. Biologist GiseleMuller-Parker, also arriving this fall, will begin a three-year study of the nutrient flow in marineecosystems and teach biology courses at Western. The center is also committed to developing andenhancing undergraduate education, Sulkin said. Each spring, the center offers an intensive, 15-creditprogram geared for environmental studies or biology majors who wish to specialize in marine science.Located on 87 wooded acres, between the Anacortes ferry terminal and Washington Park, ShannonPoint features direct access to 3,000 feet of shoreline.

As part of quarterly tuition and fee costs, the health fee provides students who are taking a minimum of six credit hours unlimited health visits to the clinic, Church said.Medical records are kept confidential and cannot be released without a signed release by thestudent. Confidentiality rights are guaranteed to students 18 years or older. For students younger than18, the clinic requires a waiver from their parents, saying they will receive confidentiality, Church said. Aside from occasional emergency funds from the office of student affairs, the clinic receives no federalor state aid and is solely supported by students' quarterly $12 Health Services Fee. The fee wasincreased from $9 last spring by vice president for Student Affairs Saundra Taylor, after students voted last spring against raising the fee to $15. "Some students think that paying the fee means they*rebuying health insurance," he said. "That isn't true." The Health Center is staffed with trained,professional medical personnel. ' 'I'm impressed with the quality of our clinical staff \- they are justdynamic," he said. A nurse practitioner, medical assistant, clinical nurse, two screening nurses andtwo support staff members comprise the clinic's staff. Though nurse practitioners are not trained doctors, they have more training than nurses, can prescribe limited- medicines and undertake treatmentunder strict procedures. Registered nurses staff the remaining nursing crew. The clinic is openMonday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Health Center begins fallservice Sept. 28.

BellinghamOpen Mon-Fri 9-7 Saturday 1-6 clinic will conduct a survey in the registration lines asking studentswhether they have health insurance or not. "We are very concerned â€” all students ought to haveinsurance," Church said.' 'Health insurance is an absolute must â€” it's foolish not to." He added thatsome universities require mandatory student health coverage, either with a private or university program."Our main concern is with the student who leaves the clinic, but still needs further medical attention," he said. "Are they able to handle the costs?" "Our primary goal is to see the student's health care needsare managed so he or she can then meet the demands of getting an education," he said. Church hasfound that students often deny they need insurance, saying ' 'I'm healthy, that could never happentome." The result of this fall's survey will, in part, tell Church what type of health insurance students arecarrying. Western does offer a University Emergency Health Plan but Church stresses this is "not thebest in the world." He said it is a good policy for what it does cover. The plan, in association with theWhatcom Medical Bureau, is not really a health care plan. . "Coverage includes emergencies only,which is defined as a life-threatening illness," Church said. "Though it is inexpensive, $37 for individualcoverage and $69 for coverage of the student's family, it does not cover normal medical treatment." rietyof on-campus eateries, where ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â§ ilill|Hi^||i|iil^lillliil iSÂ«||p|iiiiil(^I^HilBi IpiiiilHIiiipllBlli^liiBBiBlHIiiiiliBiliiHHHl iiii^lljili^illllJiilipllii^lilliiHilliBJll Ip^IBiB^WM^Mliiiliiill lunch (limited to sandwiches, soup ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |^p|^||||||||||^|p||l||| â€¢paniiiaiiiiiii^^ day.breakfastis served from 8:30 mons andRidgeway is from 11:30 Saturday and Sunday, is served Commons and Ridgeway and from Join us inHarry 0's at Nendels Inn for all games at their finest on our BIG SCREEN T.V. in SPACIOUSSURROUNDINGS while enjoying $1.00 HOT DOGS, FREE POPCORN and $2.00 22 0Z.

If you need someone to talk to about your concerns, visit theCounseling Center. (Front file photo) By STAR RUSH summer staff member Whether it's test anxiety,career dilemmas, stress management or episodes of depression, Western students have a resource oncampus where they can go to get help. The Counseling Center, located in Miller Hall 262, is staffed with therapists trained to help students sort through such problems, either in a personal one-on-one setting or as part of the center's numerous support groups. "We want to stress that normal, everyday humanbeings have problems in living that can be resolved by talking with a professional counselor," saidNathan Church, director of counseling and health services. "Visiting the center doesn't mean the student is mentally ill; not at all." The center's staff is composed of four doctoral-level therapists, three masters-level therapists and several interns from Western and other campus programs. Approximately 1,100Western students used the center's services last year. Western's Counseling Center is open Mondaythrough Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. This fall, the center will begin a series of three week-longprograms targeting freshmen and transfer students. The academic support programs are gearedtoward easing students* transition into higher education, Church said. Programs will include testanxiety and time management workshops.

"I'd like to stress that to freshmen especially. If you were sloppy or overweight before, you can change that now -^ no one knows you were once like that here," he said. "Our goal is to assist students throughthe educational system with as little trouble as possible. And we do this by offering support to different segments of Western's students." The center provides a number of support groups, including those forpeople with eating disorders, adult children of alcoholics (and other types of addictions), stressmanagement and a women's support group. Group sizes range from six to 20 people. Each group alsoincludes a therapist, and students are usually self-graduated and have decided to leave the group ontheir own. Church said most of these groups tend to involve long-term participation, but the center also offers topical, short-term support programs such as groups concerning perfectionism, assertive-nessand mastering social skills. Along with support groups, the counseling center also, schedules individualtherapy sessions. Students are typically, upon their first visit, scheduled for an intake review within thefirst 24 to 48 hours after making the visit. The intake involves a staff member taking the patient's history,asking some general questions and assessing his or her level of depression, suicidal risk andpsychiatric state. After the intake review, the patient is then scheduled to see a counselor. For students needing help with short-term problems, the center also provides Immediate Response Counseling(IRC). With IRC, the patient is allowed to skip the intake and move directly to scheduling anappointment. Church stressed that all people go through an initial screening before being seen,either for a group or individually. The counseling center limits a patient to ten sessions per year for thenumber of years he or she is enrolled at Western. IRC service is limited to three sessions per year. Ifpatients require chronic psychological counseling, the center may refer them to a community serviceat the patient's expense. "Most people have relatively short-term problems," Church said. "And short-term counseling allows students to be independent, encouraging them to answer their own questionsrather than becoming dependent upon the counselor." The center uses a wait list for scheduling ofappointments and Church admits it is currently understaffed for the number of students requesting tosee a counselor. Last year, more than 300 students had to wait before seeing a counselor. At times thewait list got as high as 40 names, which means an individual must wait approximately two weeks beforebeing seen by a counselor. Church said for a lot of students, just having someone to talk with, or simplyknowing that their feelings and frustrations are normal, and experienced by others, is a big help. "Thereare a lot of people like themselves," Church said. Welcome Back WWU Students! For yourconvenience: â€¢Free service shuttle â€¢Hours 8-5 service parts Mon-Fri â€¢New used cars "ASims ..

Elected lastspring, the seven-member board plans to improve student involvement by better publicizing theirevents and planning a variety of events to get students interested. ' 'We hope to have at least onescheduled event every quarter, "said Theresa Bertrand, vice-president for activities. The first will be a fallfestival planned for Oct. 13. The From left: Greg Anderton, vice-president for external affairs; ErikaJackson, vice-president for Academic Affairs; Theresa Bertrand, vice-president for Activities; Kent Thoelke, president; Leslie Jensen, vice-president for Residence Life; and Bob Visse, secretary/treasurer. Notpictured: Chris Hart, (staff photo by BRAD ELLIS) festival combines a carnival-like atomoshpere with anold-fashioned barbecue and dance in Red Square. Members of the board are: Kent Thoelke, president;Chris Hart, vice-president for internal affairs; Greg Anderton, vice-president for external affairs; ErickaJackson, vice-president for Academic Affairs; Theresa Bertrand, vice-president for Activities; LeslieJensen, vice-president for Residence Life; and Bob Visse, secretary/treasurer. Besides planningactivities, the board hopes to make students aware of the issues that concern them, including campus security, student lobby and to let administrators know how they feel about those issues. Anderton'sgoal as the vice-president for external affairs is to increase the interaction between students andlegislators and to give students an opportunity to talk with the lawmakers by scheduling frequent visitsto campus. He also said students need "to be more politically aware of the affects the Higher EducationBoard'' has on their future as students and should be aware of the decisions the HEC board makes ontheir behalf. "A lot of students don't think they make a difference," but they do, Anderton said. As anexample of student impact on issues, Anderton cited the case when more than 600 students signed apetition asking the Board of Trustees to reinstate campus security officers and allow them to carryfirearms. Many of the petition signers, he said, attended the board of trustees meeting and let themknow how serious they were about the issue. Thoelke noted the following items could be issues facedby the board and are goals for the upcoming school year. * The building of an ethnic student centerfor minorities on the first floor of the Viking Union. * The addition of desk top publishing in the AS. *The building of new childcare facilities on campus. * Moving and remodeling the Grotto to the Sasquatchroom in the VU. * Working with the university's Strategic Planning Commission. * The continued sale ofWestern Wear condoms in the bookstore. * Minority retention and recruitment. * Increase services tostudents in the AS, so students make the most use of the services they pay for. * Working with theadministration in building the science building, childcare facilities and new residence halls to makesure they are built in places of the most use to students. * Helping the Alumni Association with theirannual giving drive. * The possible beginning of renovation of the VU and bookstore. * Improvement offacilities at Lakewood and Sinclair Island. * Making freshmen living off-campus more aware of theactivities available to them in the AS. All AS activities and services are funded through a portion of thetuition fees paid by all students.

When Western solicited bids on the project, contractors proposed larger estimates than the design team, Wise Miller Architects, had originally predicted, said Robert Schmidt, project manager of Western's Facilities Management. Schmidt Lauren Miller/The Western Front Former President Bill Clinton signs a copy of his new book, "My Life," at Costco in Issaquah. By Tess Hembree The Western Front Hidden behind a fortress of Coca-Cola cases and nestled between aisles of hair dryers, blenders and ceiling fans, Bill Clinton signed copies of his new memoir, "My Life," at the Costco in Issaquah on June 30. Thousands of enthusiastic fans greeted the former president, some of them waiting in line as long as 18 hours to get their copies of his 900-page tome personally autographed. Costco guaranteed signatures to the first 1,000 people in line and handed out wristbands to 1,500 people, Costco representative Richard Galatei said. Those without a wristband were not allowed into the event. Costco employees said the wristbands ran out at approximately 10:30 that morning â€” with people lined up as early as 9 p.m. the previous night to secure their positions in line. Organizers limited the event to Costco members and allowed just one signature per membership card. "I wanted the opportunity to meet a former president, someone who influenced policies and was the leader of the free world," Whatcom Community College student Jeremy Groves said.

Clinton at Costco County council will buy parking lot on Lummi Island for walk-on ferry commuters for $495,000 By Emily Nuchols The Western Front The Whatcom County Council approved the purchase of a 1.7- acre parcel of land on Lummi Island to serve as a parking lot for ferry passengers. The motion passed 5-2 on June 29, with councilmembers Barbara Brenner and Dan McShane voting against the proposal. Councilman Sam Crawford said ferry commuters have a need for parking, and the lot would fill that demand. The proposed parking lot will accommodate the increase in walk-on passengers who commute from Lummi Island. The county decided to buy the land for $495,000, though the appraised price was $465,000. "I don't feel right about buying (the land) for over the appraised value," Brenner said. "It is too much money." The additional $30,000 will cover the cost of moving a house located on the property, Brenner said. The Whatcom Chief, the ferry that serves residents and businesses on Lummi Island, is the only link to the mainland at Gooseberry Point. The small ferry holds 100 passengers and 18 vehicles. Since 1991, the ferry has undergone a 27.6 percent increase in traffic. In 2001, the ferry transported more than 381,000 passengers. McShane said this has been a long-term project that the county has been moving toward, but it was the first time the council voted on the issue. Crawford said the council would like the land that was purchased to be the equivalent size of the lot acquired from the Lummi Nation at Gooseberry Point, which has more than 80 spaces. McShane said that by approving the space for a parking lot, the council is supporting an increase in the number of cars and walk-on passengers who use the ferry. He said that before beginning construction of the parking lot, the county should evaluate the alternatives to encouraging more vehicles on the roads. "The island is small enough that people could walk or bike," McShane said. "But once again, the county has decided to subsidize cars." The Whatcom County Road fund will finance the project. Federal building changes hands By Rick Swanson The Western Front The Bellingham Federal Building, which served as Bellingham's first federal courthouse, is changing management after 91 years of private ownership. Tenants of the building, including the U.S. Postal Service and various government agencies, now will pay rent to the city. Bellingham took ownership of the Bellingham Federal Building, located at 104 W. Magnolia St., from the U.S. General Services Administration on July 1, in a public ceremony, which Sen. Patty Murray, State Rep. Rick Larsen, Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson and GSA Regional Administrator Jon Kvistad attended. The "no-cost public transfer" turned ownership from GSA over to the city, Kvistad said, and GSA will carry out $2.61 million worth of renovations, which a state grant will fund. The GSA is a landlord to the federal government, according to the company's Web site. Kvistad said cases involving surplus buildings such as this often end in the sale or demolition of the building. The Bellingham Federal Building was built in 1913 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and is a Bellingham landmark, Kvistad said. Murray said she helped raise $2.61 million to allocate toward repairs to the Bellingham Federal Building/Postal Office. "This never would have happened if it wasn't for Patty Murray," Asmundson said. "It will benefit the community for decades to come." Murray said Asmundson sent her a request for the grant two years ago, and explained the importance of the building to Bellingham. Murray said she urged the GSA to reconsider renovating and promised a smaller budget. The $2.61 million is less than one-third of the original budget, Murray said. "This building is too important to be sold or destroyed and is a symbol of Bellingham's past." Murray said. In addition to renting office space to paying tenants, the city will use portions of the 39,110 square feet for security, Larsen said, and it will "serve as a home for security to^discuss needs on all levels." Rick Swanson/The Western Front John Kvistad, Patty Murray, Mark Asmundson and Rick Larsen gather around a $2.61 million check at the July 1 building transfer ceremony.

NATIONAL NEWS The New York Post reports wrong running mate for Kerry It was a big headline and an "exclusive" story â€” but it was wrong. The New York Post reported Tuesday that Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry would pick Congressman Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., as his running mate. The headline read "Kerry's Choice" over what the paper touted as an "exclusive" story, which ran without a reporter's name linked to it. The story included a file photo of Gephardt and Kerry together. Kerry announced Tuesday morning that he had picked Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C, as his running mate. The Post's editor in chief apologized to readers for the story, which he said was based on information that later turned out to be wrong, but he did not offer any details.

Kjell Ostlund, the band's lead vocalist, keyboardist, guitarist and saxaphonist, began by jokingly counting off random numbers, "Nine, two, six, four . . . " and then began to hammer out the introduction to the band's song "Summertime" on his Rhodes keyboard. When Ostlund and fellow band members Jesse Pollack, Jon Moore and Sturgis Cunningham began to play, the crowd shouted "My Friends I," the name that Ostlund and bass player Pollack used to call their band in 1998 when they lived in Bellingham. "We used to play at the 3-B all the time when we used to live here," Pollack said. "When we knew we were coming back, we knew we had to book the show there again." After graduating from Sehome High School in 1995 and playing music for a few years in Bellingham, Pollack said he and Ostlund moved to Massachusetts because he heard it was easier to tour New England cities, which are crowded together on the East Coast. The two former Bellingham residents found percussionist and back-up vocals singer Moore and drummer Cunningham in Massachusetts. "Kjell and Jesse are lucky to have found Sturgis and me," Moore said. "They were looking for bandmates â€” soul mates â€” and we have a great chemistry together. The band went from a lounge sound to a dynamic experience. Before, the guys didn't have any back-up vocals, which I think creates warmth and energy that was potentially lacking." With its new location, band members and sound, the group changed its name to the Patiokings, a term Ostlund and Pollack used in their old song "Kings of Kingsford." "They came up with the name when Jesse and Kjell were working at a restaurant," Patiokings agent Jacqui Daniels said. "They would always debate about who was the best at grilling burgers and, therefore, who should be named 'the patioking.' " Three years and a CD after the move, the group is traveling cross-country again. This time, however, the trek is part of its "Grease Tour," which promotes the release of the band's new album, "Brand New Bag." The tour has the band playing 26 cities in 33 days with city number 17 being the old hometown. When asked what he would do during his three days in Bellingham, Pollack said, "Visiting family and eating, definitely â€” Casa Que Pasa, Busara (Siamese Cuisine), Lemon Grass (Cafe)." With friends and family in the audience, little-known facts about the band members slipped out. "The band's energy level is high at shows, but normally, these guys are mellow," said Chris Baron, a friend of the band. "Especially Kjell, he isn't usually even chatty. But onstage, he is a totally different person." The band members said they were thrilled to play for a homecoming audience. "We're looking forward to playing for people in Kim Sklar-Fowler/The Western Front Patiokings drummer Jon Moore, left, and saxophone player Kjell Ostlund play for the crowd at the 3-B Tavern Saturday night. Bellingham who have always been curious about the Patiokings and what happened to them," Moore said. "I can't wait to see people's faces light up when they hear our new sound." Not everyone in the bar was familiar with the Patiokings, though. Bellingham natives Adrienne Spinelli and Yarrow Allen-Hickey first read about the band in the Bellingham Herald. "The article described the band as a mix between grunge and funk, which sounded unique, so we thought we would check it out," Spinelli said. "I really like their eclecticism. They have bongo drums. How many bands do you see that use bongos?" The band's instrumental diversity also captured the attention of Jonathan Skoczen, horn player for local band MamaLava. "The first song was soulful and funky," he said. "But I was trying to figure out how they were going to incorporate the sax into the song. And then, all of the sudden, he just reaches over to the side and starts jamming." In addition to new songs like "Summertime," the band played some of their oldies, such as "Kings of Kingsford," for the original fans and remixed some recent hit songs, such as Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body." The band members said their tour, which began June 15, is not only promoting their album but also showing off their 1997 Chevy Cargo Van. The Patiokings note that their tour van, besides having a sleek, black form, is environmentally chic. With the help of Justin Carven, a friend of the band members and founder of the Greasecar Vegetable Fuel Systems, the Patiokings said they converted their diesel-powered van into a Greasecar â€” a car with a dual-engine system that allows the engine to run off filtered vegetable oil. The conversion cost $1,500, but at the end of the tour, Pollack said they will have traveled 10,000 miles and saved as much as $2,000. As the Patiokings cruise across the country, they are pit stopping at restaurants to fill their 60-gallon storage tank. "We're still figuring it out," Pollack said. "But we have the best luck at family-owned restaurants. The best place we found was this chicken shack in Arkansas. We got about 80 gallons of fresh oil." The Patiokings hit the road again Monday, heading for Missoula, Mont., leaving their fans, their family and their favorite restaurants behind until they decide to return home to Bellingham once again.

"Bienvenidos! Que pasa? You're listening to 89.3 KUGS," the man said. The speakers pounded out the classic Latin-style music with horns, drums and guitar before switching to a more modern hip-hop funk with Spanish lyrics. The man is Oliver Anderson, a Western junior and KUGS disc jockey, who is also the music director who manages the other disc jockeys at the student radio station. His specialty show, "La Calle," which means 'the street' in Spanish, presents a mix of Latin music to his listeners Saturday nights from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Anderson said that while a majority of people think of Latin music as tango or salsa, his show offers many subcategories within Latin music, ranging from punk to classic mariachi. Anderson said he originally did not listen to a lot of Latin music before his show. His CD collection now continues to grow the more he plays and exposes himself to Latin music. Anderson said his musical tastes are continuing to develop. With the upcoming national presidential election, he said he finds himself listening to music with political lyrics. Anderson said KUGS disc jockeys can play a huge, eclectic mix of music. "We get full-length CDs from promoters â€” not just one-song samplers â€” which allows us to play more of a specific band," he said. "This gives us the chance to really make the show our own and not repetitive." This past fall, KUGS general manager Jamie Hoover suggested bringing Latin music to the radio waves at Western. Anderson said he immediately jumped on the idea and started researching Latin music. Anderson then took some of his mix tapes to KUGS program manager Aaron Managhan. Managhan loved the idea, Anderson said, and offered him the weekly midnight shift called "Music for the Masses" before he could focus on "La Calle." Anderson said his parents influenced his musical background throughout his life. His mother, who is from Argentina, engraved a lot of the Hispanic culture into him, Anderson said. As a child, tango music also largely influenced his musical tastes. "My parents have been a huge part of my life and I am now driven by making them proud," he said. Anderson first became interested in radio when he was in high school. He said one of his friends worked at the community college radio station in Federal Way and allowed him to play music and see how radio shows work. Anderson said he loved what he heard, and watching his friend at work sparked his interest to pursue his own career the radio business. After Anderson came to Western, his older brother, also a Western student, talked to him about how to check into KUGS. Working there was the perfect chance to get involved in radio, Anderson said. "Music is my life," he said. "I found an outlet for that through radio, which makes me happy." Anderson said he is committed to widening people's horizons in music, especially in the Latin genre. "My only goal right now at the radio is to have the most diverse musical catalog," he said. Sam Abraham, a Western senior and friend of Anderson for nearly five years, said Anderson has an ear for music. He said he and Anderson share similar tastes for music and learn new genres from one another. Anderson agreed that some of his friends have influenced his musical taste. Another friend, Western junior Jeff Baff, who has known Anderson for a little more than a year, said he immediately liked "La Calle." "I think it's cool because he plays such a big variety on his show," he said. "It's not just salsa, like most people would think." Anderson said he loves to focus on his upcoming shows and put together the playlist the night before he goes on the air. "I like to concentrate on how the songs will flow together â€” that's the main concern," Anderson said. "When identifying the songs, the most important part is listening to the ending to see how I can mix the songs together." Anderson said he gets two or three fan calls a show when playing music on "La Calle." Many listeners have become familiar with Latin music and have started requesting specific bands such as Ozomatli and Los Mocosos. "It means so much to me that Latin music is finding its place, especially among college students," he said.

At left, he announces the beginning of his Saturday night show, "La Calle." By Janna Bronemann The Western Front Jonathan Winter, president and curator of the American Museum of Radio and Electricity in downtown Bellingham, pointed at one of the first radios invented â€” a metal box the size of a medium television with wires sticking out â€” and said he is amazed at how different radios look today. In an age when technology is improving at a rapid rate, people can easily forget how electricity was invented, but this is exactly what the museum attempts to show their visitors every Wednesday through Saturday. "Radio today, for the most part, is aimed at a mass Janna Bronemann/The Western Front Weston Hensley, a sixth-grader from Indiana, plays with the headphones of an old radio at Bellingham's American Museum of Radio and Electricity. ACT market," Winter said. "In the old times, radio was much more community-centered. We don't have many of those anymore." Winter said the community needs to see and appreciate the items that helped build history. He said manufacturers produce electronics so quickly that when an item breaks, people throw it away and replace it â€” the focus is convenience, not quality. "Today, everything's digital," Winter said. "Everything here can be repaired. Items today aren't even built with a repair cycle." Winter said the museum features his collection of original radio equipment manufactured from approximately 1910 to 1945. The museum also displays old record players, microphones, typewriters, phonographs, receivers and amplifiers. Weston Hensley, a sixth-grader visiting from Indiana, played with the many buttons on an old transistor radio. "It looks like a pilot's cockpit," Hensley said. Also on display is a Theremin, an antique musical instrument from the '20s. The Theremin is a wooden box about the size of a large microwave with a straight metal rod sticking out of the top and a looped metal rod sticking out from the side. In the past, the musician would move his or her hands in front of the rods, and the frequency from the motion would produce a sound resembling a violin, said Michele Hill, a volunteer and member of the museum. Hill said RCA made only 500 Theremins in '29 and discontinued them because they were too difficult to play. She said musicians played them for background music in '50s horror films, and the Beach Boys used one in their hit song "Good Vibrations." Winter, 61, said he was first attracted to radio equipment as a teenager and developed an interest in the way electricity powers radio. Winter said the stages radio has gone through to reach its present model continue to fascinate him. "Radio grew out of an investigation into the property of electricity," Winter said. "It's a very natural combination." He said John Jenkins, chairman and second curator of the museum, collects items from the "dawn of the electrical age" and the early investigation of electricity. Winter said he started collecting old radios because he was amazed by the way scientists could make small observations and use creativity to produce complicated objects such as the radio. He decided to open the museum nearly 20 years ago because he was bothered that many people did not know about the history of the radio or electricity. "I started to get a desire to share my collection with the community," Winter said. "To me, it's the joy of learning." He said the museum represents his passion for the history of radio and serves as an educational facility. Dominique Coulet, the museum's grant writer and education coordinator, said that in May, 20 school groups from Whatcom County toured the museum. The museum is a private, nonprofit organization that gets its funding primarily from donations, memberships, local businesses and corporations, Coulet said. She said the museum is designing an interactive static-electricity learning center showcasing the history of Benjamin Franklin's famous kite experiment. "If someone is interested in anything to do with radio or electricity, you're bound to find it here," Coulet said. The museum has been at 1312 Bay St. for the past three years, and Coulet said the collection continues to grow. Everyone has a connection to radio and electricity, Hill said, and learning about electronics can be educational or reminiscent for people who grew up using the equipment. "It's part of our history," Hill said. "To know where we've been helps us know where we're going." ---------- Western Front 2004-07-08 - Page 5 ---------- SPORTS www.westernfrontonline.com The Western Front July 8, 2004 â€¢ 5 Bellingham filled with outdoor adventures Western senior David Brannon fixes The center charges a $2 fee for use By Emily Nuchols The Western Front The sun is shining, temperatures have climbed and the incessant rain has halted for a short time. Summer is a perfect time for students to explore the breathtaking landscape surrounding Western. Western is located east of Mount Baker, an impressive, i0,781-foot peak reaching into the sky. Students have the opportunity to venture into the 1.7 million acres of Mount Baker- Snoqualmie National Forest, or to explore Bellingham Bay and the San Juan Islands. Since the destinations are located within a 50-mile radius of campus, students have the freedom to hike, climb or kayak to a chosen destination. Students lacking experience in outdoor activities have plenty of choices to gain knowledge. The Outdoor Center, located in Viking Union 150, has compiled a number of expeditions for interested students throughout the month of July. Kayaking excursions include trips to Emily Nuchols/The Western Front his bike using the equipment available at the Outdoor Center's bike shop, of the tools. Wildcat Cove at sunset, an overnight trip to Western's Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island or a Whitewater kayaking weekend. The Outdoor Center's last excursion of the summer is a climb on Mount Baker. The center will provide all necessary gear. "You don't need any experience," said Nate Farr, an employee at the Outdoor Center. "All the trips are for beginners." Prices range from $20 to $105 for students and $25 to $130 for non-students. The overnight trips and the climbing excursion cost a bit more than others do. Farr said the center has seen a decrease in the number of students interested in the excursions. "There are definitely fewer people signing up during the summer," Farr said. "All the trips still have plenty of room." Another feature of the Outdoor Center is the bicycle shop. Students can special-order bike parts, and Farr said that for $2, each student can fix their bikes with the help of mechanics. "We have two more races this month," said Drew Swayne, a Western senior, Outdoor Center employee and a member of Western's cycling club. "Nationals are at the end of the month." Swayne said the most popular trail to ride near Bellingham is Galbraith Mountain, just past Lake Padden on Samish Way. The Outdoor Center also rents outdoor equipment to students for a small fee. Camping, kayaking and skiing equipment are available. Students, faculty and alumni of Western, Whatcom Community College and Northwest Indian College can all rent equipment. PvEI, an outdoor specialty store, located at 400 A 36th Street in Sehome Village, is another resource tool to for students to gain outdoors knowledge. REI rents equipment to co-op members as well as the public. On-location clinics will teach the basics of outdoor activities. Clinics are being held on-location throughout July and August, including basic bike maintenance, introduction to rock climbing and introduction to sea kayaking. The Bellingham Mountaineers, a local organization concentrating on mountaineering and hiking, is offering seminars throughout July. Bellingham Mountainer Ted Ullman said the seminar is geared toward those wanting to gain experience and will focus on the basics of of camping. Seminar topics include weekend backpacking skills, an introduction to sailing, backcountry navigation and travel and an introduction to rock climbing. "Anyone is welcome to come," Ullman said. "But it is mainly for beginners." Emily Nuchols/The Western Front Joel Todd, the Outdoor Center's equipment shop coordinator, checks in gear used for a camping trip.

Women's soccer team acquires new talent By Janna Bronemann The Western Front Despite the Western women's soccer team's losing record in 2003, five players have signed letters of intent to play this fall, which may indicate a promising upcoming season, head coach Travis Connell said. Even though the team had a record of six wins and 13 losses, Connell said the team was more successful than its record showed. He said the Vikings defeated the strongest teams in the league but struggled against the weaker teams. Connell said this showed potential for the upcoming season. Connell said the new recruits provide a stable foundation for the future. "I have a really positive attitude, and I am very hardworking," Western transfer student Erin Stay said. "I don't like to lose." Connell said the new players will be a positive contribution to the team. He said the new players on the team are tough workers and quality players. "We've got a good group coming in that will set a good tone," Connell said. Connell said two of the players are junior transfer students: midfielder Katy Sebens from Seattle Pacific University and Stay, a defender from St. Louis University in Missouri. He said the other three players will be freshmen who graduated this year from high school. Western will gain midfielder Amanda Font from Decatur High School in Federal Way, forward Anna Smits from Lynden High School and midfielder Kelly Gagne from Kentwood High School in Covington. Stay said she helped her Division I St. 7 hear we're supposed to be improving this year, so I hope to be a part of that improvement'. Erin Stay Western transfer student and recruit for Western women's soccer Louis University team reach the conference finals and led her high school team to a state championship, where the team awarded her the Most Valuable Player award. She said she was captain of her club team, which also won the state championship. Stay said she is looking forward to playing for Western because the coaches talked about how the team will grow this season, but she joked that they may be saying this as a recruiting tool. "I hear we're supposed to be improving this year, so I hope to be a part of that improvement," Stay said. Despite receiving other offers from schools close to St. Louis, such as Illinois State University, Stay said she wanted to play for Western because it was closer to her hometown of Shoreline. Smits said she decided to go to Western because she played for Connell when he was in charge of the Rangers, the Whatcom County club team. She said she also took private soccer lessons from Connell before deciding on Western. "I knew he would be a good coach and a good one for me," Smits said. Smits said she received first-team all- North Cascades Conference her senior year at Lynden and was captain of her high school team and club team for two years. "I try my best to push myself and try to push my teammates," Smits said. "I try to score a lot of goals because I am the forward." Connell said this will be his second season coaching the Western women's soccer team, but he has been head coach for the men's soccer team for the past five seasons and also will coach them this fall. The women's season will begin August 28 at Civic Stadium against Cal Poly Pomona University. ---------- Western Front 2004-07-08 - Page 6 ---------- OPINIONS 6 â€¢ www.westernfrontonline.com Frontline The European economy will benefit from an extended workweek and less vacations After many years of criticizing the American way of life, Europeans are now discovering that their "leisure society" of 35- hour workweeks and month-long summer vacations is damaging to their job market. Since the 70s, European employers have shortened workweeks to 35 hours in an attempt to decrease the unemployment rate. According to a July 7 New York Times article, many Europeans believe that the adjustment has done little to alleviate the unemployment rate and instead has led to chronic economic problems, including the looming threat that European employers will move their businesses elsewhere. Although many Europeans may not agree with increasing the workweek, this change will lead to an increase in local job production, which will benefit the European economy and its workers. The shorter hours do not give businesses enough time to complete tasks and the demand for work hours, particularly in France and Germany, is increasing. "I feel it's been a brake on economic development and therefore a brake on overall employment," French President Jacques Chirac recently said, according to the Times article. When employers first adjusted the workweek, they believed more jobs would be available to Europeans. The unemployment rate instead has increased because employers have found that low-wage countries in Asia and the rest of the European Union provided inexpensive employment options. While Europeans received shorter workweeks with no change in pay, foreign workers were willing to work longer hours and for less money. According to the Times article, Europeans work an average of 10 percent fewer hours a year than Americans, which has created the European notion that Americans work too hard. In contrast, American society has instilled in its workers the belief that being a hard worker is the equivalent of being a good person. Because employees are eager to impress their employers, productivity increases, which also increases overall economic activity. Many Europeans say the longer work hours with no additional income will lead to exhaustion and less time for leisure and family. These luxuries, however, come with a high price. According to an August 2001 Seattle Times article, France's business market practically shuts down during the summer as employees take extended vacations. While employees are enjoying an average 25 days of vacation a year, most factories and offices close. The developed world is becoming a "work society," emphasizing long workdays and fewer play days. By increasing the workday, the EU will become more economically stable and will eventually become a stronger competitor in the global job market.

And we quote: 'I look at that ring and think â€” very cool." - Britney Spears about her engagement ring from fiance Kevin Federline The Western Front July 8, 2004 Hung's 15 minutes are up Meron Kelemework COMMENTARY With a voice only he can appreciate and dance moves that just might give Elvis a run for his money, William Hung has managed to sneak into Hollywood, paving his own road to fame. When Hung sang â€” well tried to sing â€” Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" he had audience members rolling with laughter, and now the ridiculous performance is available on Hung's own DVD "William Hung: Hangin' with Hung." Hung has followed his musical dreams but will most likely become a one-hit wonder. In order for Hung to avoid the crash that follows most one-hit wonders, he must leave while he is still ahead of the game. As Hung auditioned for "Idol," it was obvious this was more than a mere joke to him â€” he really thought he had a chance of making the finals. As the judges laughed, he continued to sing until Simon Cowell cut him short. Not realizing the laughter meant he was not going to make the cut, Hung, almost glowing with pride, said, "I have no professional training â€” this is all natural." These days, almost anybody can get their 15 minutes of fame, but Hung unfortunately does not realize he might need a little more than his natural talent. "I looked like an idiot up there," he said. "I want to be good, not something people will laugh at." Hung is hardly like other "Idol" artists. How he managed to capture the attention and the hearts of his fans still remains a question. Hung certainly is no hunk, nor does he entice his audience with his voice and attempted hip- shaking, yet he has women proposing marriage on his official Web site. Hung is charming, not because of his boyish good looks but his innocence. His attempts to make it in an industry filled with the corrupt and money-hungry individuals is naive but refreshing. He remains true to himself in the face of those who reject him. It is the sincerity with which he approaches his so-called fame that has 116,000 fans signing petitions to send him to Hollywood. In the face of all this attention, Hung must realize that no amount of fame or money will buy him respect. Hung has not SEE Bang, PAGE 7 Veterans deserve quality health care Deanna Itano COMMENTARY They fight in the name of the United States. They risk life and limb, but when these soldiers return from war, with wounds or psychological ailments, they should not expect the country to take care of them. This is the message delivered to U.S. veterans, when President George W Bush planned to leave veterans to take care of their own health care. Presidential Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, will alleviate Bush's shortcomings in veteran's healthcare if he wins office in November. Kerry left the campaign trail, June 22 for Washington, D.C., to cast his vote in support of a proposed amendment to a military spending bill that would guarantee mandatory health-care funding for America's 26 million veterans, according to a June 22 New York Times article. This shows that Kerry has his priorities straight. He is fighting for something that will directly benefit the American people. "I have met thousands of veterans as I travel across this country who have fought with pride and honor but still don't have the quality health care they need," Kerry said on his campaign Web site. At least someone is taking the initiative to offer a proper thanks to those who have fought for their country â€” a thanks promised by the Bush administration upon entry to "the war on terror" but never delivered. Unfortunately, Kerry did not get a chance to vote on the amendment. According to a June 23 New York Times article, he" arrived on Capitol Hill to find that the vote had been rescheduled for a later time. Bush's war has created an entirely new generation of vet- SEE Health, PAGE 7 ---------- Western Front 2004-07-08 - Page 7 ---------- July 8, 2004 OPINIONS The Western Front â€¢ 7 Bang: Hung should not sacrifice respect for money Continued from Page 6 gained his fame through his skills but instead his entertainment value. As a minority, Hung must consider several aspects. Commentators such as Emil Guillermo, an award- winning independent columnist, say this is simply a case of racist stereotyping. The fact that Hung's accent and the stereotypes he represents are a part of his entertainment value angers people like Guillermo. Many share these views, and though they are harsh, they are more than valid. Asians, like other minorities, struggle to fight the stereotypes they face every day. As a minority, Hung must keep in mind that he is regarded not just as an individual but also as a representative of his ethnicity. Fun is fun, but at the end of the day, Hung's responsibility is to make sure he upholds his own respect as well as that of others in his ethnicity. This certainly does not mean Hung should not go out and attempt to do what he loves. It means he should know how much he is willing to sacrifice. No amount of money will buy back one's respect, and no one receives dignity or pride by selling out. Some say he has no idea what he is doing. With appearances on talk shows, movie offers, a CD out on Koch Records, a single holding steady at No. 39 on the Billboard charts and 380,000 copies sold, Hung is hardly a fool. It takes a smart person to know acting like a complete fool can and will make you money â€” look at Jessica Simpson. He has made a name for himself. All that is left to do is leave while he is still on top. Health:Veterans need to be priority Continued from Page 6 erans. Upon their return home, veterans may expect a decrease in health-care funding if Bush has his way in the upcoming election. Nearly 500,000 veterans will be completely left out of Bush's 2005 budget, which expects to increase costs of prescription medications and new enrollment fees. Kerry's play means less money spent on weapons and more spent on its citizens â€” an important and necessary step toward building a stronger nation. Bush advocates argue that Veteran Administration meckcal-care funding is higher than before he took office. This is true â€” the White House Web site indicates a 40 percent increase. But this magic number does not serve veterans as well as the Bush administration would like the American people to believe. When veteran population increases or cost inflation is taken into account, many vets receive less than adequate health care or receive no funding at all. Evidently, a raise in veteran funding does not necessarily mean higher quality health care. So as Bush dwells on the "fight against terror" Kerry is devising ways to take care of the soldiers when they come home. tspresso yourself!

"It was more than just a chance to meet Clinton, though," Groves said. "I got to meet like-minded people and talk about the current state of politics. They were great company." Some were not as lucky as Groves â€” though only 1,500 bracelets were given out, 50 to 60 people waited at the back of the line, hoping for a chance to meet the president despite Costco and Secret Service warnings that they would not be admitted. "I'm number 1,501," Seattle resident Hilary Hyde said. "I'm not giving up." The line wrapped around the back of the store and through a maze under tents in the hot summer sun. Employees sold Polish sausages and sodas, along with copies of Clinton's book for $18.99. Red Robin representatives also showed up to take orders. Inside the store, business went on as usual as customers shopped amid the Secret Service and media. Clinton began signing books at 2 p.m., one hour later than scheduled. Officials quickly herded fans through the line, allowing them to stop for 10 seconds at the most to say hello to the former president. After their encounter with Clinton, fans continued into the store, where many stayed to shop. "Hallelujah!" Kris Rose said as she left the book-signing area. The Portland, Ore., resident was the first person in line, having arrived at Costco the night before. Some, however, were not as thrilled about their experiences. "We've been here since 11 p.m. because she wanted to come," said Kai Hibbeln of Seattle, pointing to his girlfriend proudly displaying her autographed book. He rolled his eyes as she jumped around, exuberantly animated about her close encounter with Clinton. The Secret Service were a source of frustration to some customers, Groves said. Before they were allowed to enter Costco, fans underwent a rigorous search, he said. Secret Service stored customers' belongings in plastic bags, labeled with the number corresponding to their bracelets, and customers retrieved them after they obtained their signatures. But most said it was well worth the nuisances and wait. "He's the next closest thing we have to JFK," Bothell resident Lawana Lindberg said. "And I got to meet him." Eatery: Costs higher than first projected Continued from page 1 Wise Miller Architects had proposed several redesign models, said Tim Wynn, director of Western's Facilities Management. Western decided on a design that would have cost $946,000. The lowest figure for which contractors said they could do the job, however, was $1.42 million, Wynn said. The next step for the design team is to analyze the contractors' estimate and decide how to modify the design, said Kirk Wise, architect for Wise-Miller Architects. He said that when the design team projected the costs for the remodeling, certain factors not taken into account increased the costs. Wise said the current increase in energy costs, such as gasoline and steel prices, made the project more expensive. He said a lack of competition among contractors also raised the cost. The PDCA and the design team will have to work with fewer materials to perform the construction, Wise said. The design team will collaborate with Western to develop ideas for how to get the job done with less materials, he said. "The thing is, (the production) just has to be smaller," Wise said. The PDCA and the design team now will make a modified estimate and present the project to contractors, Wise said. Wynn said officials also will have to change other aspects of the remodeling in order to fit the costs. Types of services, such as grilles, which are more expensive than other services, may not be part of the atrium, Wynn said. Western will alter the project plan regarding the types of wall covering, flooring, ceiling covering and signs, he said. "We're going to have to change a lot to bring the cost down," Wynn said. Officials in charge of the project plan to work closely with University Dining Services to decide what the necessary changes should be, Wynn said. Wynn said the PDCA wants to consult the original contractors to see why the costs were so high before they plan the changes to make next summer. "Ifs very difficult at this time to predict where we're going to go," Wynn said. "We're going to look at everything." SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SAY this is overly cautious.

Surprisingly, he said he never obtained a degree in marketing. Eldred instead graduated from Western in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in English and an emphasis in creative writing. Eldred, like many new students on campus, did not know exactly what he wanted to do when he first arrived at Western. After switching majors a few times, he said he decided on an English major because he loved to write. Tina Loudon, director of Western's Career Center, said it is not uncommon to see students get jobs unrelated to their majors and that students choose their majors for a variety of reasons other than career goals. "Sometimes students choose a particular major because they know it's the best tool fit for their future occupation," she said.

"We changed our policy (10 years ago) because we know that a student is more than a number." The UW needed to bring its enrollment numbers down to what the state funding allows for the university, said Philip Ballinger, admissions director at the UW. Before, if no space was available for admission, students who did not have a 2.75 GPA but had other achievements could not get in, Ballinger said. Students who are more prepared but have lower GPA scores now will have a better, chance of getting info the UW. The new transfer policy at the UW eliminates the need of a 2.75 GPA. The UW now will consider a student's intended major, foreign language completion, work experience, grade improvement, high-school grades and other personal accomplishments, according to the office of admissions. "I know that the University of Washington's policy change has created a lot of fear and concern for transfer students, but in reality, they are not admitting any fewer students than they have previously," Gaffney said. In fall 2003, 10,488 people applied to Western â€” of those, 7,723 were accepted and 3,427 actually enrolled, Gaffney said. Western accepted almost 75 percent of those who applied, she said.

Johnson and six other Western students, inspired by other state universities, are planning to start an African-American studies program at Western. They will be working toward this goal through an independent studies program with Fairhaven associate professor J.T. Stewart this fall, Johnson said. As part of the program, the students will research similar African-American studies programs at other schools and write a mission statement, Johnson said. "A lot of African-American people can only trace their heritage back two generations," Johnson said. "I thought it was important that we talk about where African-Americans come from, the events that happened and why racism is such a very important, undealt-with issue 200 years later." Johnson began preliminary work on the African-American studies program in his independent-study class this past spring with Stewart. He researched the programs at Washington State University and the University of Washington to formulate ideas for Western's. Johnson and the students also will form a survey to find out what other students think about an African-American studies program. Johnson said he wants to find out what kinds of classes students think should be part of the program. Johnson said he is planning to work with faculty members in many departments to establish a set of classes for the program. He said he wants it to be part of the American cultural studies program so it would be available for both Western and Fairhaven students. If the program is approved, a student could receive a minor in African-American studies. Johnson said he has met with various faculty members who have taught classes dealing with African-Americans. He met with Larry Estrada, director of Western's American cultural studies program, and Fairhaven professor Midori Tagaki. Johnson said he has received their support to teach classes in the program. "I talked to a couple instructors about it and I found out that they had several different studies programs, but they didn't have an Afro-American studies program," Johnson said. He presented his idea at a Fairhaven faculty meeting May 6 and met with Fairhaven College Dean Ron Riggins this past quarter. Riggins approved the idea, allowing him to move the process forward. Riggins said he supports the program because classes in various departments that relate to African-American studies are already established and the program would bring these classes together. "Instead of creating something entirely new, (Johnson is) bringing existing resources together," Riggins said. The next step will be presenting the program to the Academic Review Board and the Academic Coordinating Committee, whose approval is needed to turn Johnson's idea into a program at Western, Laura McVicker/The Western Front From left to right, Western seniors Ennis Johnson and Roselane Miller and Western junior David Cahn meet to discuss the possibility of beginning an African-American studies program at Western. Riggins said. The committee has to clear the program before. Johnson can figure out what department it will be affiliated with, Riggins said. Then Johnson and other interested students will develop a formal program of classes. Western junior David Cahn, who will be part of the independent-studies program with Stewart next fall, said he was surprised Western did not already have an African-American studies program. He said the program would create a forum in which students can learn more about the history of African-Americans and understand their roles in society. "It's only right and Just," Cahn said. "(African-Americans) have the right to learn about their history just as much as anyone else." Riggins said he is confident the collaboration between faculty members and students this fall will make Johnson's plan a reality. "It has to be a worthy idea," he said. "And this one is."

Loudon said students with a particular talent or passion often want to take their interest as far as they can in the education system. "It's very important to do something you like, but it's also important to look ahead to the future," Loudon said. For the past 25 years, Loudon has provided students with information to better equip them for the workforce. She said students who do not know what to do often find it easier to pick a broad major, such, as communications, English or business that helps them achieve general valuable skills. Western's Career Center has multiple resources for new and continuing students. One tool available at the center is access to surveys that show what graduates do with their degrees. According to the '02-'03 Annual Employer Survey response, most people with a computer-science degree ended up using their major in their current occupation. The same is true with teaching, though it is not uncommon for graduates to continue their education beyond the four-year degree. The Career Center also has an assessment test that students can take if they are unsure of their career path or major. Loudon said the $20 assessment is sometimes helpful for those who already know they want to teach or write but are unsure about a specific direction or interest. "Ideally, we like to follow students throughout their studies at Western," Loudon said. "We like to meet with them in the beginning to help them decide what direction to pursue, in the middle to look at internships and campus opportunities and toward the end for career placement and follow-up." pregnant; Wvm/T eCenterCanl^^ s WE BUY AND TRADE ABERCROMBIE GAP EXPRESS PATAGONIA OLD NAVY PURSES COLUMBIA JEWELRY ANCHOR BLUE SHOES . . .

"In fact, we employ a good number of students." Keim said a person need not have work experience is needed to apply. The store provides a training program until employees feel comfortable with their positions. "A person can start out at any position in the store," she said. "We're pretty easy when it comes to finding a job." The Mariner's Team Store employs five students of the six employees who work there, store manager Wes Miller said. "I actually just hired two students a couple of weeks ago," he said. All positions are part time, and employees work 10 tol5 hours a week, Miller said. "I've only had a problem hiring a student once," he said. "They lacked a means of transportation, but that doesn't affect me from hiring students." Miller said he is more inclined to hire college students because they are more dedicated than many others because they need to earn money. Many employees at BC Surf and Sport are college students, Glines said. Most part-time employees work eight to 20 hours a week. "We have no problem hiring students since our manager is a student himself," Glines said. "He's very understanding because he's dealing with a school load, too." BC Surf and Sport sends its employees to snowboard clinics during the winter to learn more about the product features they sell. Glines started working at BC Surf and Sport approximately two years ago. Before that, she said she had tried everything to find a job in Bellingham. "It's so hard," she said. "I pretty much got lucky because I knew someone up here to hire me." Before she found a job, Glines went to the Career Service Center, located in Old Main 280, every morning to look at postings for local jobs. The center has a Web site linked from Western's main page, she said. "That really helped me find baby-sitting jobs to earn some fast cash," Glines said. Glines said her best suggestion for students looking for jobs is to not just ask for applications. "Come prepared to all the stores you want to work at with a resume to give them," she said. Western junior Pat Hughes said he agreed that the Bellingham area has a difficult job market for students. "I turned in applications to over 20 places," he said. "I mean, you name it, and I applied there." Hughes said he stresses to students looking for jobs that they can never turn in too many applications. Students should travel to Bellingham early in the summer before school starts to avoid the big rush right before fall quarter, he said. "Don't think that turning in one or two applications is enough," Hughes said. "Get used to running around and turning them in anywhere and everywhere." Hughes said using the online non-work- study resource located on Western's Web site helped him hear about jobs throughout Bellingham. "It may not be the job you want, but you just need to take what you get," he said. Jessica Alvarado/The Western Front Vida Sabala, left, store manager at The Body Shop, helps a customer apply makeup.

Connie Satter said. "The main goal of the campus police and security force is providing the resources and the personnel to make our community as safe as possible." Personal attacks, such as rape and assault on or near campus, have occurred in the past â€” four were reported in 2002, according to Western's annual crime statistics Web site. While the /03-'04 academic year brought criminal activity, Satter said Western's campus is free from specific ongoing,threats at the present time, but students still should take precaution. long nights of studying. "Sometimes people call us when they don't need to, but that's okay," Satter said. "We'd rather that happen than people not call us when they need to." The phones, which are scattered throughout campus, are equipped with a flashing light to alert patrolling officers of an incident and are marked visible on any campus map. The phones also are located inside the main lobbies of Western's residence halls. . According to the UP Web site, Western's Greencoats address property damage and loss, along with protecting its students.

Greencoats help in situations ranging from battery jumps to safe walks home after James Shaw University Police Chief sity interests, as in property," said Edward Eugenio, Personal Safety assistant and veteran Greencoat. In an age in which students pour hundreds of dollars into their vehicles, the threat of car prowlers is very real, Satter said. Belongings such as electronic and sports equipment also are at high risk of theft, he said. UP members said owners need to register bikes with campus security, cars should always remain locked and free of expensive equipment, and personal belongings should be well-guarded and engraved with the owner's name iÂ£ possible. "Our worst crime is property theft and damage," Satter said. "We like to advise freshmen to think twice about what they bring, trying to teach them to protect their property." The UP Web site offers dozens of quality approaches to keep students from falling prey to thieves and would-be attackers, Shaw said. He said it is a useful resource for students to familiarize themselves with the valuable services available to them. "We tell people that there's always strength in numbers," Shaw said. "You don't want to walk in poorly lighted or poorly traveled areas. Tell people where you're going, and carry a cell phone." Another simple device to help prevent attack is available from the UP in coordination with the Student Affairs department. Students can use keychain whistles, available to any Western student at the Public Safety building or Office of Campus Health and Wellness Services, to alert officers, frighten potential attackers or call for assistance. "Probably the thing I tell people most when I talk about personal safety is really trust your instincts," Shaw said. "Be aware of your surroundings, be aware of people in your surroundings and be aware of people violating your space and acting in a peculiar manner.

The campus lifestyle consists of late nights, crazy schedules, all-you-can-eat dining halls and the absence of parental control. These circumstances can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. This fall, many services at Western and the Bellingham community will work to ease the transition from home to college life. "Good health is simple," Bellingham nutritionist Mary Lou Anderson said. "It is all about finding a balance." Nutritious food, water and oxygen are the core of a healthy lifestyle, Anderson said. The biggest challenge is making these items a priority. Western's three dining halls and multiple food markets offer many food choices for students. This year, University Dining Services aims to increase the accessibility of nutritional information to students, said Lisa North, director of business services for the organization. Although students can look up the information at computers located in the dining hall now, North said that because the computer does not automatically show the menu for the day, it is not the optimal tool. Dining Services ultimately will provide information on its Web site, and students will be able to click on a menu item and see its contents, she said. In the meantime, a sign including the nutritional information will hang by each item. Dining Services tries to make healthy eating an easier choice, North said, and each dining hall provides a salad bar and fruit in the morning. "Light eating does not always mean a salad," North said. "It's about the combination and the portion size." When eating on campus, students can avoid over-indulging by remembering a few rules, according to the Uuniversity of California, Los Angeles' Web site. Students should avoid going to the dining hall starving and have a healthy snack such as a piece of fruit beforehand. They should try not to go back for seconds and thirds â€” it takes 10 to 20 minutes for the body to realize it is full â€” and commit to eating at least one serving of fruits or vegetables at each meal. Over-eating is not the only problem that college students face â€” not eating enough is an issue as well. Sometimes eating does not fit into class schedules, but making an effort to schedule a lunch break is worth it, Anderson said. "It's important that students eat three meals a day," she said. "This gives you more consistent energy throughout the day." If sitting down to eat is not an option, she said a good protein shake or bar is one of the best substitutes.

The professional standards of Western's physical education and health department rose this spring with a new endorsement from the American College of Sports Medicine, said Lorrie Brilla, professor for Western's exercise and sport science program. As the largest sports medicine and exercise science organization in the world, Brilla said that ACSM's endorsement enhances the professional ^ standards for Western's graduates in the health and fitness field. The organization has more than 20,000 international, national and regional members, and its stated goal is to advocate the advancement of health through science, medicine and education. The ACSM reviewed Western's sport science and exercise program curriculum and decided it met the organization's academic standards for preparing students for employment in health professions. "Our curriculum has been recognized as one that has met a national standard," Brilla said. "We are the only university in Washington that has been recognized by the ACSM.". The ACSM's endorsement acknowledged that Western students have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to take the ACSM written credential examinations, Brilla said. The ACSM also will provide feedback on student performance and give information on professional development opportunities for students and faculty members. Western's endorsement is part of ACSM's University Connection Program, which includes 50 universities nationwide. The credentials ACSM provides offer a measure of competence for sport medicine and health and fitness professionals for clients and employers, Brilla said. She said the organization requires the highest level of knowledge and skills among students and = ^ = = establishes the standards for all other certifications. "This endorsement means: that Western is offering a higher level of service to gain credibility," Brilla said. Brilla said she used to administer ACSM's health and fitness instructor certification examinations on Western's campus every summer but recently stopped because of a lack of financial compensation. ACSM also offers certification examinations at the Seattle Athletic Club, PRO Sports Club in Bellevue and the University of Oregon. Although Western does not offer ACSM exams on campus, the Testing Center offers American Council on Exercise certification exams, Brilla said. 'This endorsement means that Western is offering a higher level of service to gain credibility! The ACE is a separate group, although both it and the ACSM are considered prestigious organizations, Brilla said. ACE is less research-based and offers a group-fitness instructor certification, said Becky Schindler, manager for Western's physical education department. Schindler said she began offering classes in group health and fitness to fulfill the academic requirements necessary to meet ACE's required curriculum. "We were having trouble finding people with the ACE certification to teach our 100-level PE classes on campus," Schindler said. "The group fitness class I offer fulfills that need and people won't have to travel all the way to Seattle or Vancouver (B. C.) to take the test." Alysia Nolan, personal trainer for Fitness Together in Bellingham, said she related field. "In the last five to 10 years, fitness and health clubs have been requiring these certifications by their employees because the public is demanding a more medical-based approach to physical health," Schindler said. Professionals in the health and fitness fields take continuing education credits and renew their certifications every two years in order to keep information and practices up to date. ACSM ACE: Different organizations, common qoal Lorrie Brilla Professor for Western's exercise had to drive to Seattle to and sport science program take the ACE examination. "I would have loved it if they had offered the test in Bellingham," she said. "It is already a very expensive test." The test costs $160 to take at Western. Nolan said she had to pay $200 for the test and $300 for study materials. Schindler said employers often require health and fitness professionals to have exercise and sports certification in addition to a bachelor's degree in a BioLife Plasma Services Need supplemental income? Want to help save lives? BioLife Plasma services, located near Whatcom Community College on Stuart Road, opened in April of 2002. They specialize in the collection of high quality plasma that is processed into life-saving therapies. Donating plasma is different than donating blood. It is a very safe procedure with minimal or no side effects and, because the body replaces the plasma removed during the donation process quickly, healthy individuals can donate as often as twice.in a seven-day period, with at least 48 hours between donations. The plasma collected at BioLife Plasma Services is processed into a wide variety of life - saving products that benefit thousands of people everyday; including people here in our community. Some examples are: â€¢ Hemophilia therapy for people with blood that doesn't have the ability to clot. â€¢ Blood Volume Replacement therapy for patients in a variety of trauma conditions, as well as treatment for shock. â€¢ Immune System Support for patients with immune deficiencies These are just a few of the many therapies provided by plasma from donors that utilize BioLife Plasma Services. It is important to remember that plasma is not a substance that can be produced in a laboratory or some other artificial environment. It can only be obtained from healthy adults Western Washington University student Nicolas Connor says, "It's a good supplement to your income and at the same time you're saving lives."

Drinking affects the brain, nervous system and blood sugar levels, Anderson said. Alcohol also contains a lot of calories â€” a 12-ounce beer contains roughly 150 calories and one shot of 80-proof alcohol contains approximately 100 calories, according to UCLA's Web site. Alcohol also dehydrates the body, Anderson said. Drinking in moderation and consuming water with alcohol can help minimize these effects, she said. Anderson said taking a multivitamin and drinking water are essential to good health. To calculate how much water to drink each day in ounces, students should take their weight and divide it by two, Anderson said. To help students cope with nutritional issues, Western employs on-cam-pus dietician Kara Ten Kley. Students can contact her for answers to any nutritional questions they may have, North said. While eating healthy requires constant effort, it is not the only factor to staying healthy, Anderson said. Being involved in enjoyable activities, being outdoors, making friends and exercising all contribute to good health, she said. Ron Arnold, the Wade King Recreational Center fitness coordinator, said the biggest challenge college students face is inactivity. "Many kids go from being a two- or three-sport athlete to sitting in a classroom and studying in their dorm rooms," he said. "Activity is the key to a healthy lifestyle." Western also is located in an area where outdoor activities are plentiful and easy to find. Hiking, biking, and kayaking are minutes away. Western graduate student Brady Feutz said the hardest part of staying healthy in college for him was finding somewhere to lift weights. With the opening of the recreation center, students can access personal trainers, weights and exercise equipment, and classes ranging from spinning to belly dancing. "The center was put here primarily for the students," Arnold said. "It's up to the students to take advantage." Accepted: Transfer students nearly half of fall applicants Continued from page 1 Approximately 30 percent of admissions are allocated to transfer students through the Direct Transfer Agreement of all Washington state public universities. In 2004, transfer students comprised approximately 45 percent of applications reviewed at Western, and nearly 80 percent of them were admitted, Gaffney said. "We accommodate community college students at a very high rate," said Michael Barr, Western's assistant director of admissions. Barr said students with a 3.0 GPA in community college have a huge advantage. Fewer than 50 percent of students without an associate's degree or who transferred from another four-year college were accepted in 2004. Students find it more difficult to be accepted if they transfer from a four-year university, Gaffney said. Although employees in admissions do their best to admit major-ready transfer students, many students do not have a clue what they want to major in, said Yolanda Graham, associate director at the Academic Advising Center. But she said Western tries to accommodate these students. Unprepared students might end up staying at Western for an additional year, and without proper prerequisites, it increases competition for first- and second-year Western students still trying to complete classes for their majors, Gaffney said. Shannon Barney/The Western Front Tom Nerini, assistant director of admissions at Western, revises a letter to prospective students. The admissions office is one of the only offices that all students must work with. W h a l e W a t c h i n g lt;pfx - l f f f% s I QJ B E L . L I N G H A M .

"A sport that combines running, biking and swimming is intimidating for a lot of people/' said Nelson, who is now president of the Triathlon Club. "I was excited to find out that there was a club like this club on campus." Nelson, who has been a member for the past two years, is one of many Western students who have met others with similar interests through the Associated Students clubs. From art clubs to political groups, Student Activities coordinator Lisa Rosenberg said Western has a club for everyone. When Rosenberg began working at Western 13 years ago, 80 AS clubs operated on campus. At the end of this past spring quarter, Rosenberg said students had established 120 clubs. Rosenberg said she has seen numerous clubs come and go, but certain clubs have been sturdy for years, such as the swing-dancing club, religious clubs such as the Campus Christian Fellowship, The Inn Ministries, Hillel of WWU, and various cultural and ethnicity clubs that Ethnic Student Center coordinator Michael Vendiola advises. Vendiola said five clubs existed when the Ethnic Student Center opened in 1991: the Black Student Union, the Asian Pacific Islander Student Union, the Native American Student Union, MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanos de Aztlan) and the International Students Club. Vendiola said the number of Ethnic and Cultural Clubs on campus tends to fluctuate between 10 and 12. He said the ESC is devoted to providing students with social, cultural and academic resources on campus. The ESC offers students activities, volunteer work and the ability to meet other students with similar cultural backgrounds, Vendiola said. "Everyone has their own culture and ethnicity," Vendiola said. If existing clubs do not satisfy students, Rosenberg said any student can form an AS club as long as he or she has at least five members and a specific pur- ^ = = ^ = = = pose or goal. "One of the great things about Western is that if there isn't a club that interests you, it's easy to start a club of your own," Rosenberg said. "Sometimes a club that is fairly new can do wonderful things for our community." Barry, president and founder of the club. "When it came down to the relay, we had 45 teams and raised approximately $53,000, exceeding what we aimed for." The Relay for Life began at noon May 22, lasting overnight until 8 the next morning. "The reason that the relay was overnight was to show that cancer never sleeps â€” and that cancer patients can't give up," Barry said. She said the group is already planning for the 2005 Relay . for Life, in which she expects the club to raise even more money. Rosenberg said clubs on campus are open to all enrolled students.

She said she took an anonymous survey to see how many people cancer directly or indirectly affected and saw an alarming number of people whom the growing disease affected. She then decided to create a place where people could share their experiences, learn from one another and pass information on about cancer prevention. Recently, the Western Students Against Cancer club had an overnight relay to raise money for cancer prevention. "When I met with the American Cancer Society, I was given a goal to create 20 teams and raise $20,000," said Lisa Rosenberg Student Activities coordinator During the first week of school, there is a club fair in Red Square," Rosenberg said. "This is the place where many Clubs can set up a table for student's to come by and ask questions." Since Rosenberg started working at Western, she said she has noticed an increase in general interest in AS clubs among students. "I might talk to someone planning a backpacking trip and someone planning a music concert in the same day," Rosenberg said. "Western is a great place for students to get involved in any area that interests them." ^I^B'Maits^byCharlie |l|g|;'â€¢â€¢;';;;â€¢ 360.676.4301 â€¢ | l | | l M ^ p | | / 2 Â£ : T : i 3ouch ;^^lll|l|;.i3 at o n ^^pi|j|i^i^|!|bcjjfei, ana Lotion*.

Costumes clutter the hallway, rehearsals take place in every available room, voices singing fill the halls and empty pizza boxes litter the theater lounge. Western's 34th annual Summer Stock season is here. Kenna Hodgson/The Western Front Western senior Ruthie Hessler, left, and Western junior Rachae Thomas practice singing for the opening show of "Some Enchanted Evening." "It's a professional atmosphere on a college campus," said Steve Sherman, Western junior and theater company member. "We're rehearsing nine hours a day." Summer Stock is Western's professional summer theater. This season will feature five shows in July and August. The company has 11 paid staff, but many members receive school credit or volunteer their time. Approximately 50 people are making Summer Stock happen, Sherman said. "We just eat, sleep and rehearse," he said. Because the shows overlap, the rehearsals also do. Sherman said most of the cast and crew members are simultaneously working on more than one show. "Some Enchanted Evening" started the season on Tuesday. The show is a musical compilation of the life and work of Rodgers and Hammerstein, said Will Cruttenden, a Western senior and stage manager. During the show, the five cast members sing and dance in harmony to 50 show tunes. "A lot of people think that Rodgers and Hammerstein songs are really corny," said Mark Anders, visiting director for "Enchanted." "The people who think that haven't listened to them recently." "Peter Pan," the timeless tale of Never-Never Land, opens today. "The Rimers of Eldritch," the story of a ghost town called Eldritch and the crimes that happen there, opens Saturday. "A Raisin in the Sun" opens July 16 and is the first production by a black playwright in Whatcom County, said Mark Kuntz, director and theater department chairman. "Big River" is based on Mark Twain's famous story of Huckleberry Finn and the Mississippi River and opens Kenna Hodgson/The Western Front Director Mark Anders, left, instructs cast members Ruthie Hessler and Rachae Thomas during rehearsal for Summerstock's "Some Enchanted Evening." July 23. Kuntz said theater-goers can expect some changes from previous years. For the first time, Summer Stock will perform outside. "Peter Pan" and "Enchanted" will play at venues such as The Boundary Bay Brewery, the Bellingham Cruise Terminal and various parks throughout town. "We want to get off the hill and into the county," he said. New locations will make attendance easier for some people and will encourage others to attend, Kuntz said. Western brought guest actors, directors and setting/lighting designers from Seattle, New York, Oklahoma, Alaska and other places throughout the country to participate. This will help continue to raise the standard of professionalism in the Summer Stock program, Kuntz said.

At 8 a.m. on a Thursday, while most people were probably sleeping or rushing to work, a few fishermen surrounded the lake in hopes of reeling in a fish or two. Western senior Ryan McHenry, an Outdoor Center employee, said he fishes primarily for recreation and usually releases the fish he catches. McHenry said the challenge of making an artificial lure look lfke natural bait makes the fight to catch a fish rewarding. But it does not really matter if he catches any thing, he said, because he appreciates the wilderness. "I enjoy everything about the outdoors," McHenry said. "The smells, the nature in general, the wildlife and the scenery." Seattle resident Peter Ramirez, 45, said the fishing is not about the weather but the satisfaction of being outdoors and the excitement of waiting for a fish. "I'll fish in rain or snow," Ramirez said. "It doesn't matter." Ramirez works as a laborer for a temporary agency and travels the West Coast to fish on his days off. Bellingham has a lot to offer for fishing, Ramirez said, because it is not as crowded as places such as Seattle, and it has easy access to salmon because of the salmon hatchery located downtown.

Dale Smith, a fishing and marine specialist for Whatcom County and employee at Yeager's Sporting Goods, said Bellingham is perfect for fishing because of its proximity to the San Juan Islands. Bellingham's fishing spots compare to Idaho or Oregon, which are two of the best states for fishing in the West. He said Bellingham has quality sites for upper-lake trout fishing. Other good fishing areas include Lake Samish, Toad Lake, Silver Lake and the Nooksack River, which is an excellent spot for salmon, trout, and steelhead fishing, Smith said. The experience of being in the wilderness makes fishing a special sport, he said. "The wait to catch a fish is worth it because of the thrill of seeing God's creatures up close," said Smith, a self-described diehard fisherman. "It's wild. It's free."

They found a place, but she could not concentrate. While the rest of her friends studied at the remote lagoon, she jotted down ideas for a club. "I was overwhelmed with ideas," Stenersen said. Stenersen said she thought of creating a club in which women could experience female companionship while participating in activities typically dominated by men. Women in the Woods has provided women with hiking, biking, climbing, rafting and skiing trips to various parts of Washington since fall 2002. Stenersen said she did not create the club to exclude men but to give women the experience of female-supported trips. Stenersen said men have helped set up equipment and promote events in the past. Stenersen's vision for the club was to allow women to experience and learn from nature, be active outdoors, understand the environment and treat it better, she said. "The wilderness is such an obvious classroom that is conducive to learning," Stenersen wrote in the club's mission statement. "Pretty much any trip you can think of outdoors, we have it," Stenersen said. These trips are usually free, except for gas money, and let experienced athletes and beginners participate in an outdoor sport, Stenersen said. Trips typically run three to four times a month. A professional guide leads one trip a month, while students lead the other trips, which Stenersen said are much less formal. The club's finances come from the AS board and various grants from the community, Stenersen said. Stenersen said the club not only gives women the experience of a new dynamic in the all-female trips but also a network of friendships. "I've seen so many friendships that have been made," she said. Western graduate Kristin Kearnes said she remembers a whitewater-kayaking trip, part of a Women in the Woods trip in spring 2003. She said that before they went on the Skagit River, they practiced safety techniques in a pool in Carver Gym. "We had to learn what to do if our kayak flipped over," Kearnes said. On the trip, Kearnes said the women cheered for one another when crossing the river. She said the trip marked her first kayaking experience â€” since then, she has gone on several kayaking trips and has taken lessons at Carver Gym. Kearnes, a participant and leader of a telemark skiing trip, became involved in Women in the Woods in her residence hall two years ago. Kearnes said the club gave her many friends and strengthened her confidence. "It totally teaches you self-esteem and independence," Kearnes said. "It's a totally different vibe with (only) women."

It is a place that connects musicians in Vancouver, B.C., and Bellingham, preserving the area's independent music scene. The house's three full-time residents perform with five different bands that live, practice and play shows at "the D Street house." Some band members are Western students, while others are* from Vancouver. Sober Unit, Shook Ones, Ordeal, Cancer and Snake Run are the bands that practice at the house. "Everyone living here is either practicing with their band or putting on a show," said Terry Wilk, the Snake Run lead vocalist who practices and sometimes stays at the house. "Sometimes there are band practices two or three times a day." Wilk said the busy house is dedicated to music. The bands have played shows in the basement since fall. "The neighbors don't really mind (the noise)," Wilk said. "We have the shows early enough â€” they're in the basement, and we shut the door to muffle the sound." Though the residents of the D Street house often change, Wilk said the roommates have mutually agreed that shows will continue as long as they want to support local music. He said the house draws different crowds depending on what kind of music is playing, and the basement showcases several subgenres of hardcore, rock and independent music. "The Bellingham (music) scene to me is this house," Wilk said. "It's pretty much a family." Wilk Â«said everyone involved in Bellingham's scene knows someone who either lives or used to live in the house. The latest addition to the family is an old emergency medical transport vehicle, which has working lights and a public address system. Though "Sober Unit" is printed on the sides of the vehicle, Wilk said all five bands use it. The D Street basement family will be sponsoring the Bellingham Basement Festival on July 18 at 5 p.m. The show is $5 and open to the public. Actions Aside and Set it Straight from Northern California, Break the Chain from Vancouver, B.C., and Bellingham bands Yossarian and Typical Ace will be playing. He said people know the D Street house for its intimate setting, but this time, more bands are playing than the typical three or four. Many times' bands playing together have complementary sounds, said Eric Sanford, a Western junior and lead vocalist of Yossarian, and this is also true for the basement line-up. "The Northern California bands have a youth-crew sound, more or less," Sanford said. "(The subgenre is) a kind of Andrea Zacharia, a Western senior and founder of Loa Records, said her band Typical Ace was the only one that did not quite fit the distinctive hardcore mold. "Ours is just pretty much rock," she said. "But it all works together."

The members of the aggressive hardcore band Yossarian, which got its name from the main character in Joseph Heller's book "Catch 22," met on campus this past year. They found they had similar tastes in music. Other members of Yossarian are Western junior Julie Shoun and Western senior Aaron Apple. The idea of the Bellingham Basement Festival developed from a show in April when Yossarian and Typical Ace played together. Sanford said people from Bellingham to Seattle came to see the bands. He said the turnout and atmosphere prompted the bands to play together again. "A lot of people will enjoy this coming show," Sanford said. "It's the kind of music that makes you want to move around." Wilk said the D Street house residents agreed that their place would be perfect for the show. He said "No alcohol and no drugs" is posted on each flier and message board containing show information to deter people from bringing them into the house. Sanford said he expects a lot of people to show up for the Bellingham Basement Festival even though many students are gone in the summer. "Bellingham has a pretty good scene overall," he said.

But 11 women sporting plaid kilts and sticks are making sure that does not happen to them. The Western women's lacrosse team members are preventing students from losing themselves in the face of large freshman classes and are keeping students involved in a sport they love. "It's a great opportunity for people who played lacrosse in high school to brush up on their skills," said Megan Hartford, a Western senior and member. "But it's also a chance for girls to learn the game period. We take everybody, no matter their experience." The sport itself is relatively rare on the West Coast but is gaining popularity exponentially, said Sara Babani, a Western senior and team captain. "I've seen an extreme growth for lacrosse since I started playing, especially in the past few years," Babani said. Many players who join in the fall have little or no knowledge of the sport, said Barbara Little, a Western senior and second team captain. "We get a lot of girls who have never played lacrosse before," she said. "But the club is open to anyone who wants to play." Women's lacrosse will resume practicing in the fall to train new players and prepare for a brief fall season. "We have a short, fun season called 'fall ball/ mostly to get people acquainted with the game," Hartford said. "We get together and play Western alumni. It's a lot of fun." The competitive season begins in the spring, Hartford said. "That's when we do a lot of traveling and competing with bigger schools," she said. The games are on weekends so team members do not miss class and have time to travel to game locations, Hartford said. Courtesy of Western women's lacrosse club The Western women's lacrosse club team members run down the field while playing the Portland women's lacrosse club during the Western States Tournament at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. Most of the games are held in Washington, Little said, but the team occasionally travels to Oregon and California. "Game weekends can be pretty intense," she said. "A lot of times we'll play four or more games in one weekend." Joining the team is not as time-consuming as a varsity sport, but it still is a big commitment, Babani said. "We travel to play every single weekend from March until May, so it does take dedication," she said. The biggest event for the lacrosse team members is the trip to California, where they compete against women from highly aggressive teams, such as, the University of California, San Diego; University of California, Los Angeles; and Stanford University. The team ranked third at the league championship tournament in 2003 and finished in the top four in 2004. Jeff Crane, intramural/club sports coordinator and the team's advisor, said the team's weakness is having too many rookie players but said he sees promise from the girls for the coming season. "The team did pretty well," he said. "They're rebuilding, though. They had a lot of young, inexperienced players this SEE Lacrosse, PAGE 17 At the eo-oP's Wee Cream 'â€¢â€¢â€¢ ^mprmm- rinks* J E.

The lacrosse women are a club team, which means they are non-varsity and the school does not fund them. "We're not varsity, but we are a competing team, and we do travel to play other schools," Little said. "But our expenses aren't paid for by Western. They give us about half the money we need, and we have to raise the rest." Club team members essentially are on their own with both finances and general organization. "Club teams are responsible for coaching themselves and raising money for their own transportation," â€ž Crane said. "Everything is student led and self-sustaining." The women's lacrosse team started two years ago and, like all club sports, had to petition to be a probationary club team, with only $60 of state funding to keep it afloat, Crane said. The team members had to come up with the rest themselves. During the fall and the winter off-seasons, the team spends time raising funds â€” to cover traveling expenses for the spring season, Little said. The lacrosse women have worked as ushers at Western events and organized car washes and raffles to raise money. They also have sent out letters to ' Club teams are responsible for coaching themselves and raising money for their own transportation' Jeff Crane Intramural/club sports coordinator and women's lacrosse adviser their relatives and Western alumni, requesting financial support. After proving they could financially sustain themselves, they were eligible for more state funding. "Each club team averages about $2,000 in federal funding per year â€” some more, some less," Crane said. "It's all based on the team's need." Team members, regardless of wins and losses, said they are enthusiastic about the sport on and off the field. "As soon as we play our last game, I miss it," Babani said. "I really am happiest when I'm on the field." ^ u v % 1 Taste The Rudv's Difference 647-7547 HOURS Monday-Wednesday 11A.M-11 P.M.

By Jessica Alvarado The Western Front One of the newest additions to Western greets students as they step on campus from the parking lots. Benches and a fountain adorn the front of the Wade King Student Recreation Center, providing a pleasant area on campus to relax in the sun. The center offers a variety of activities for students, ranging from intramural sports to water aerobics. The facility has three weight and cardiovascular areas, a gym with three basketball courts, an elevated three-lane track, a 25-person whirlpool, locker rooms, two group exercise rooms, a wellness resource room and a conference room for 22 people. The rec center has its own climbing wall located just past the front desk. The most recent addition to the facility are flat-screen televisions with DVD players for the cardio equipment lining the building's windows. "These seem to be a big hit among the students â€” some even bring in their own movies to watch as they work out," Western graduate student Mary Cunnan said. Also new to the center is the Bod Pod, which is a machine that measures the amount of one's body fat. "I guess it's a way for students to see the effects of cafeteria food on your body and become more aware of what you - should not eat," Western fitness coordinator Ron Arnold said. The Bod Pod is in the wellness resource room, located in the back of the building on the first floor. Students also can perform a general assessment test for flexibility and strength in the wellness room. Arnold said he plans on setting up an orientation for incoming freshmen and transfer students at the beginning of the year to familiarize them with the facility. Students should look for signs on campus and check online early fall quarter for orientation times, he said. "The rec center provides students with a well-trained staff with an assortment of classes to choose from," Cunnan said. The rec center offers such specialty classes as beginning belly dancing and the fitness class "Butt and Gut." "Yoga and pilates seem to fill up the fastest, so if a student is interested, do not hesitate to sign up as soon as possible," Cunnan said. To sign up for the classes, students must register at the front desk and pay $20 to $25 for different classes. Classes last the entire quarter and meet twice a week. Cunnan said the center has found that mostly women sign up f of fitness classes, but it is not uncommon to see a few men trying some of the classes as well.

Instructors teach their classes a number of different climbing techniques to enable students to use the ropes on their own time once the class is completed. "Western seems to be a pretty big climbing community," Cunnan said. "So we also offer advanced technique classes for the more experienced climbers." The pool classes at the center allow students a chance to enroll in swim lessons, water aerobics and lap swimming. Open pool is available for students as well, and the pool allows students to interact in activities such as water polo or pool basketball, building supervisor SEE Recreation, PAGE 20 .M^WW^^SSmBL. | | | | 1 | | : ( U .

She said the team has spent the past year rebuilding, after losing a couple star players and next year will be even more of a rebuilding year. Coach Marie Bussard said the team is. losing a few experienced seniors next year but a lot of players will return, and she said she thinks the team will do well in the fall. "We're losing Jenny who's been the team captain and a strong personality on the team," Bussard said. "She's been a focal point of the team and has helped a lot keeping the team together. She'll be hard to replace." Gossett said several of the younger players have stepped up and committed to learn the game. She said she thinks they will help carry the team to a successful season. Western senior Lauren Williamson said she played her first rugby game in fall 2003 with the Western team. She started in the game playing the fullback position and was so nervous that she vomited. Since then, Williamson said her experience on the team has been more than she ever expected. "We're not out there to screw around â€” we're out there to kick some ass," Williamson said. "There's nothing like taking a girl down when she's running at you full speed." Mika Maloney, a Western senior and next year's forward captain, said 15 people from each team play on the field during the game. To score a tri, which is like a touch-down, a player must touch the ball down past the tri-line. She also said players cannot pass the ball forward throughout the entire game. Maloney said the forwards start the ball in action and generally have more physical contact with the opposing forwards while the backs do more catching, supporting and tackling. 'We're not out there to screw around â€” we're out there to kick some ass. There's nothing like taking a girl down when she's running at you full speed'. Lauren Williamson Western senior rugby player Williamson, who will continue playing this year, said the team has a lot of talented players. "We just need to figure out how to gel (together)," she said. "The back line needs a strong leader. Shit, we've got a lot of talent on the team â€” we just need to figure out how to use it." Williamson said other schools in the conference know Western's team for their forwards. "We've got a lot of strength in the front pack with how much they push," she said. Bussard said one of the team's strengths is its cohesiveness. "They're kind of like a big family," Bussard said. "They're a real cohesive group and they play well because of that. They're also a lot of fun because of that." Gossett said that even with the changes the team is going through, the team members are still close. "The team's going to take its own new direction," Gossett said. "They're a tight-knit group of girls interested in learning more skills and excited about what's going to happen for them." Williamson and Gossett both said the most important part of rugby is the friendships they have gained. Gossett played all four years while at Western. She said she had always wanted to play contact sports like her brothers did, so when she met a girl in her residence hall freshman year who played rugby, she decided to give it a try. She came to her first practice with no experience and had no idea what she was getting into, but she said she ended up loving it. "I met my best friends playing rugby," she said. "It's more like a family than it is a team." Gossett said she is sad to leave but ready to move on. She said that once someone has played on the team, they are always a part of it. The team even has alumni games every year in which alumni players come back and play against the current team. Williamson also went to her first practice with no experience and had no idea what to expect. "I have a family now," Williamson said. "I met some of my best friends. We hang out outside of rugby as well. We not only have rugby between us, but friendships as well." The team plays during fall, winter and spring quarters. Gossett said league season is in the fall and winter and the tournaments are in the spring. Recreation: The rec center offers high-quality machines Continued from Page 18 Josh Stilts said. "We also have an iceberg that gets tied down in the pool, which is like a climbing rock for students to use," Stilts said. "Not that many people know about it yet." Besides providing specialty and fitness classes, the rec center also manages intramural sports, such as basketball, flag football, volleyball, soccer and softball. The facility offers a wide range of equipment to accommodate students' different styles of strength conditioning. Free-weights are the top choice of male students, and cardio machines are popular for the female students, Cunnan said. The rec center also allows students the opportunity to hire a personal trainer for only $18 a session to get into shape fast, Arnold said. The rec center provides students with Woodway treadmills, which Arnold said is the best equipment. "Every NFL team has them in their gyms," Arnold said. "They're built to accommodate people of all sizes and tend to be easier on your knees and joints as you run." Men do not seem to focus on cardiovascular workouts as much as the females, Arnold said. "The men love the weight room â€” I guess it helps burn off the extra testosterone that growing men have," Arnold said. Arnold said the facility can assist those in wheelchairs. It has a special unit called the upper-body ergonometer for wheelchair access to provide a cardiovascular workout for those in wheelchairs, Arnold said. Next year, the rec center plans to create training in specific sports programs to focus on increasing speed and agility to enhance the player's athletic performance, Arnold said. The rec center also provides job applications on the center's Web site for those students who are interested, Stilts said. Stilts said the recreation center quickly fills job openings and students should fill out applications as soon as possible. "If you're interested, it's really good to start looking early," Stilts said. "Start during summerstart sessions."

Should students have to pay a mandatory rec center fee? Students do not need more fees The fee is a practical trade-off Jessica Alvarado COMMENTARY The $85 mandatory recreation fees for the Wade King Student Recreation Center are too extreme to charge all students at Western, especially for those who do not even use the facility. With tuition fees and the cost of living increasing at Western, many students could use the extra money to put toward academic endeavors â€” the reason students are here in the first place. The students who do not use the gym end up giving Western $255 a year for basically nothing. The recreation center did not open until slightly before school started in fall '03, so some students may have looked elsewhere for a place to work out during the summer. Students may have already signed on for yearly gym memberships when the facility was under construction earlier in the year, and were unable to stop payments to their other gym. Those students then were stuck paying double the cost to work out at a place they were already committed to. Western has a mandatory fee for the health center, charging for health services on campus. This is a far more understandable fee than a mandatory fee to use the gym. Western only charges $54 a quarter for health services. Western should not charge more to use the gym than it does to use the health center located on Western's campus. Staying healthy is more important than maintaining a good body image. SEE Mandatory, PAGE 22 Jessie Bowden COMMENTARY Working out at Western has become a bit of a controversy. Beginning in fall 2003, every Western student found another fee tacked onto their tuition bills. This time, it was an $85 Wade King Student Recreation Center fee that students must pay even if they have no intention of using the facility. Many are looking at this as unfair and wrong. Students, however, should look at the mandatory fee more positively. Student unions and recreation centers are the way of the future as far as colleges and universities are concerned. The University of Washington and Washington State University also have recently completed recreation facilities. In order for Western to compete with these other state universities, it must make itself more attractive to prospective students. The rec center does just that â€” but without this fee, the building, the state-of- the-art technology and the top-of-the line equipment would not be possible. If Western is unable to compete with other universities, it will not only lose prospective students but also state funding because of poor enrollment rates. Prior to the completion of the center, the workout facilities on campus were minimal, not to mention always occupied by physical education classes and intercollegiate teams. The weight machines were old and the cardiovascular equipment was not sufficient for more than a SEE Physical, PAGE 22 For annual checkups, birth control, emergency contraception, pregnancy testing, and testing treatment for sexually transmitted infections, call 7 3 4 - Â£ ) C gt; ^ S today.

Bellingham 734- 9095 Mount Vernon 848-1744 Friday Harbor 378-6010 x%- ---------- Western Front 2004-07-08 - Viking voyage page 22 ---------- 22 â€¢ The Western Front OPINIONS July 8, 2004 Mandatory: Western has other means to prevent required fees for students Physical: Students who do not use the gym should consider the health benefits of regular exercise Perhaps maintenance of the gym costs more than the health center, but the recreation center receives $125,000 a year from Frank and Mary King, who provided the largest donation in Western's history, totaling more than $4 million. The recreation center is named after the Kings' late son Wade King. According Western's Board of Trustees January minutes, this money would be used for student athletic scholarships â€” $75,000â€” and the operations of the recreation centerâ€” $50,000. On top of receiving the annual payment from the gym's sponsors, the facility charges alumni $420 for an annual membership or $120 for a quarterly membership. Faculty members and staff at Western are also charged $90 a quarter or $240 annually to use the facility. Enough people pay for the facility to make up for the difference spent on maintaining the facility. Discussions on trying to find a way to reduce the rec center fees for staff and faculty have taken place among members of the Exempt Professional Staff Organization, an on-campus group participating in university governance. The organization decided that if faculty and staff received a discount, it would be necessary to reduce the students' fees as well, since the mandatory fee pays for the cost of the building not the operation of the center. The center reported in May that in order to reduce costs, it cut staff hours, but the change was not nearly enough. The center said the mandatory fees are essential in order to maintain the facility. Many students at Western say the gym is one of the best-kept facilities in the community. The center offers a variety of equipment and classes open for students that may not be found elsewhere for such a reasonable price. Some students find the mandatory fees an incentive to start working out since they are paying for the facility. Just because it may motivate students to work out more does not make it an adequate reason for forcing the students to pay for something they may or may not use. Western should find a reasonable way to cut the mandatory fees down for those who do not use the facility. Western needs to keep the $85 charge for those students who use the gym on a regular basis and not for those who do not. Students already find too many fees with their tuition bill it is hard to keep track as it is. The struggling college community does not need another unnec-cessary fee tacked on to the already high tuition bill. Continued from Page 21 few people at a time. This caused a major inconvenience for many students, forcing them to work out elsewhere or not at all. Students now are able to use three basketball courts, plenty of cardio machines, brand-new free weights and weight, machines, a swimming pool, an indoor track, an indoor hockey and soccer area and fitness classes at almost any time, without sports teams or gym classes interrupting them. This creates convenience and an incentive to work out at a level that students would not find at another gym in Bellingham for a lower price. According to the National Mental Health Association Web site, depression is a major issue among the college population, and researchers have proven that exercise reduces stress, anxiety and depression, boosts self esteem, improves sleep, builds energy levels, strengthens the heart and makes the body more able to use oxygen and improves overall physical health and weight management. According to the Cleveland Clinic Health Information Center Web site, these benefits improve concentration. At the end of this progression lies a mentally, emotionally and physically stronger student. The fee was not a decision the administration simply imposed upon the students without any discussion. Students made the decision. Discussions and a vote took place, and students decided the ' The fee was not a decision the administration simply imposed upon the students without any discussion. Students made the decision'. fee was a good trade-off for the quality and the facility Western provided. The vote may have taken place before most current students began attending Western â€” a project of this magnitude, however, need not be voted on every few years. The school needed to make a decision, and the students ultimately were involved in it. Many students believe that Western should not force them to pay for a gym they have no intention of using. They argue that people who choose to use the gym should pay the fee and those who choose not to use the gym should not have to. According to a list of tuitior and fees on the Western Wet site, however, students attending Western also pay a $54 health center fee each quarter even if they have never visitec a doctor there. In addition, the) also pay a $15 technology fee and a $35 non-academic building fee each quarter Sometimes, as members of z community, people need tc share in the cost of that community, whether they feel the) will personally benefit. Imagine a world in whicl people got to pick and choost what fees they paid â€” if peopU did not pay taxes for education for instance, because they die not have any children ir school, or if people chose not tc pay for the physics departmen because they were not physicj majors. Frequently, many of tht things people want to dc would not have enough funding because others would havt simply chosen not to pay. Western imposed the fe lt; and built the building. The implementation of the fet took place in '03, and it now seems pointless to arguÂ« about something of this leve that cannot be changed anyway. Students now shoulc look at this fee as an incentive and exercise. Buh-bye. Sure, you appreciate Mom and Dad. But its no secret that you've been counting the days till you're out on your own.

Students should look to alternative transportation as the answer to Western's ongoing parking problems. Parking at Western is a frustrating issue. Western does not provide enough parking spaces for the number of students enrolled. Students should utilize many other ways of making it to class. Construction of a student parking garage is an expensive answer to ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ = = the university's parking dilemma. This addition would no doubt have an effect on students' already increasing tuition rates. V Instead of building another structure on campus, admin-tstrators should use funds for something pertinent. Students should be encour-aged to walk, bike or ride the bus to school. With fuel prices fluctuating, it should be more obvious than ever that students, as well as the public, need to find alternative modes of transportation. Not only does it cost more to drive to campus, but parking passes are expensive. A parking pass to the C Lot costs a student $50 a 'With fuel prices fluctuating, it should be more obvious than ever that _ students, as well as the public, to find alternative modes of transportation'. quarter, while a bus pass for the quarter is $20. While an academic year parking pass is $150, an unlimited bus pass for the same amount of time is $50. An added benefit of riding the bus is that the pass doubles as a parking pass after 5 p.m. Whatcom Transportation Authority buses continuously run throughout the day with bus lines reaching nearly everywhere in Bellingham. Students can use bus time to study or catch a iew more minutes of sleep before class, and the bus drops students off closer to class than any parking space. An even better alternative to riding the bus is to walk or bike to campus. Students should take the time to add a little physical activity to a busy student day. Enjoy the amazing scenery where Western is nestled. . Western is one of the few places a student wmmmmmmmm^m^ hike through an old-growth ~~ conifer forest or overlook boats sailing in Bellingham Bay en route to class? Some may argue that Western needs more parking to keep up with the increasing number of students. Every student has frantically searched for a vacant space on the eve of a final. Aside from the madness of finals week, parking is not a problem that needs an expensive solution. Enough alternatives are provided and, if used, should solve the lack of space. Students who live near campus, should try walking or biking to class. And those student who do not live near campus â€” they should take the bus. Libraries need accessibility Jamie Trudel COMMENTARY At midnight during summer quarter, a student rushes to Western's library to complete a bibliography that he needs for his paper, which is due early the next day. As he reaches the door, his running slows to a somber stroll when he sees the library's hours. The library closed three hours ago and now he will not be able to turn in the completed paper. This scenario occurs for thousands of Western students every year. If Western offered a library that was open 24 hours a day, the amount of productivity and good grades would likely rise. Keeping the library open for 24 hours would be a relatively easy task and would ultimately help further the university and its students on many levels. One group of students who would benefit from a 24-hour library would be working students. Some students work full time during the day and must cram their evening classes as well as studying into the wee hours of the morning. If the library were open all night, these students would not be at such a disadvantage. Another benefit of a 24- hour library would be that students could take advantage of the extra hours to put the finishing touches on projects and papers. The night hours also would help students doing group projects. If a member of the group does not pull his or her own weight, the other members usually have to complete the remaining part of the project. These late hours would give them more time to do that. A full-time library would be a huge selling point for prospective students. Western could use the library hours in advertisements and information it sends to people considering Western. Having a 24-hour library would make Western more competitive with other universities. Western may not have a 24-hour library at this point because of a low number of library employees. Surely Western has enough money in its budget to fund more employees, since the school raises tuition each year. Better yet, the library should just hire students. If Western employed more students to work in the library, not only would it be available all the time, but more jobs would be accessible for students. Western students already struggle in the Bellingham job market. The idea of having a convenient on-campus job is a great prospect for many students. Students can work and study at the same time. The situations works great for the university as well as the students. Western would provide employment to its students and further itself as a lucrative university by adding the positive attribute of a 24-hour library. After all, the main job of a student is to study â€” whenever that may be and â€” no other place is as well-suited as Western's library at 3 a.m. J2EASON6 TD SHCP AT HA06GW / l * , i * 3 i I Featurinq authentic^ A^sian^ cuisine, 9 - ^ r d f r ^ S ^ ^ ^ deli salads, rotissene IÂ»Â£EE^iJ05eB!J9i l^r^m^S^^H^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ i) ^^^S5^^5lSwaw5^5s""â€¢"'"^M;"!'Â°,' OPEN 24 HOURS â€¢ Sehome Village â€¢ Barklev Village â€¢ Meridian Illinois â€¢ Ferndal lt; www.haggen.com PPPPP

Pleading that "the burden of his school work and activities is too great to allow him to continue his duties as president of the Students' Association, Dean Edmundson, for two quarters^ head.of the student body, tendered his resignation in the semi-weekly assembly Tuesday. This resignation was presented to the board of control at its weekly session the day previous, but because of the depleted condition of the board, the resignation could not be accepted and was therefore presented to the student body. Many Vacancies School politics have been placed ifi rather a muddle by the accumulated vacancies on the board of control which culminated Tuesday in the resignation of President Edmundson. For one thing, the resignation of the president leaves the board of control with no leader, there being no vice-president to preside as .this position was left open when Edwin Benedict failed to return to school, and is one of the posts now to be filled by election. But, because there are now four vacancies on the board, it is impossible to assemble a quorum, and the board cannot meet for a business session until after the election. \ Stickney Nominated Ori Wednesday. Don Stickney was the only nominee for the presidency, though a petition had been put up for Eldred Bechtel. Eldred, however, is running unopposed for student representative and is therefore ineligible for the higher position. The other offices, those of vice president and faculty, representative, are unaffected by the other election activities. There are two nominees for both positions, and these will be voted upon Tuesday. Catherine Morse and Hamilton Church Jtiave been nominated for vice president, while Miss Kathleen Skally and Mr. Sam Carver have been placed in nomination for the post of faculty representative. The term of the vice president is for two quarters, to complete the unexpired term of Edwin Benedict, while the faculty representative will be chosen for one quarter, to take the place of Mr. Bond, who left school before the expiration of his term. •' • — o — —— Dean Edmundson, President of the Student Body, Presents His Resignation to the Board of Control. The point system by which "W" sweaters are awarded to members of/the track squad was defined at the regular weekly session of the board of control, which took place Monday afternoon. The change was- made when Kir-vin Smith, of the 1927 track team, requested a sweater, stating that under the interpretation of the ruining as made by Coach Sarri Carver during the recent season, . he (Smith) was entitled to a sweater for his activities on the team during the season before. Trie firial establishment of the ruling, under which Smith was av/arded the sweater, is that to be awarded a track sweater, the contestant must score ten points in competition during the season, or five points in tri-normal competition, but that points made in Normal games count double. ' " Board Does Not Act Dean Edmundson, president of trie Students' Association, presented his resignation to. the board at the session, but because of the fact that the board is depleted in membership by reason that three- terms have expired with no .election having been held, a sufficient number of members of the board were not present to act upon the resignation and it was referred to the student ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 October 19 - Page 2 ---------- i i [MILLER ;STJTHE^EN:^ i'BellingKanr National Bank, Bid?., JBelhnglwm, Was^.:; Sibsiiiptiih rate by mail, flM pef year, in^adyaricejisinglicopus* S ; lt; * ^ ;;;.!0;::;-.- ;-;;:-:i,t:.,v?,.:.

Special care was taken to have the lighting correct—-the desks slanted at the most convenient angle. Complete in every detail it Was an ideal spot for study. At the particular school of which we speak this great storehouse of knowledge was not made use of as extensively as it really should have been. Students were seen studying in empty classrooms, in the halls and on the steps. Others stuck doggedly to their text books and never indulged in any library reading.

The first source is the old English folk songs which were brought over to this country when it was first settled. The second is the negro melodies of the Southland and the last is the Indian music. Until 1790, there was very little, if any, creative work done in music in - this country. People were content with the Old World masters and felt no urge or necessity for personal expression. Although the establishment of musical appreciation in schools has done much to create more interest in true American music, there must still be a great deal more evinced in order to establish America in that field as firmly as the older countries. Probably one reason for lack of notice, is that American composers have not yet banded together and created a literature based on the typical American music. There exists quite a bone of contention as to which of the three aforementioned sources our music should be based on.. Tastes Are Different . Our tastes in music are very diversified and unusually international. However, American independence wills it that we have' a native music typically our own. As it has not been possible for America to accept any landed gift of music, for there wasn't any, so it has been necessary to create a national music. In speaking of an American literature, Miss McDonald said that it must be possessed of high standards, high ideals, and most of all a Committee Meieting; With a group, the Appointed 'at Class Party Coming Nov gt; 19. s m a l l representative thrilling games of the season.

The protesters will picket outside theconcert and hand out fliers telling why they find the Tubes objectionable, the center's director, DonnaLangston, said. Langston said that when the group was first scheduled to appear, five students(including four men) who had seen the Tubes' act in Seattle, approached her about the concert. Shesaid they were disturbed by what they described as the depiction of violence against women, includingrape, as part of the group's act. "We're trying to raise people's consciousness so this sort of thingdoesn't happen again. Next quarter when it comes time to make these decisions, we don't Pub surveydebatable By Don Jenkins To use the results of a survey conducted by the Associated Students asproof that 85 percent of Western's population support having a campus pub would be "risky," said DonBlood, director of the Testing Center. Kevin Lohman, Associated Students vice president for activities, said he will present a statement to the Faculty Senate on Monday that says the survey showed 85percent of the faculty, staff, administrators and students at Western would support and use a campuspub. Blood said the poll "is better than no data." But, he added, "I think it's a little risky" to say the,f gt;^^B^y;sh4 gt;wed.85flercent-of,th^ population at Western is in favor - of a pub. However, "It may bethe best that is able to be done under the circumstances," Blood said. want anymore bands coming toWestern that promote sexist ideas," Langston said. Andy Potter, head of the AS Program Commission,which is sponsoring the concert, said "I feel it's (the protest) real healthy. I believe that all protestsshould be aired." "The Tubes were booked because of their commercial popularity. The commissionrarely deals with the political aspects of an act," Potter said. The Women's Center also has been putting up posters urging people to boycott the concert next to posters advertising the Tubes. "Rape","Boycott the Tubes" and similar sentiments have been written on the posters advertising the concertboth on and off campus. And many of the promotional posters have been torn down. Langston saidshe doesn't know who has been destroying â€¢ See TUBES, page 23 Lohman said it was "definitely not a scientific survey." But he said he talked with Blood at the Testing Center about the survey. Lohmansaid he was told the sampling provided a fair cross-section of university opinion. It depends on what ismeant by "fair," Blood said. "It certainly isn't up to the level of good," he said. Lohman admitted that thesurvey could be challenged, but also it could be supported, he said. Lohman said he wanted topresent a summary of his research to the senate and ask for their opinions on the idea. Part of thatresearch was a ten-question -survey*passed^otrtÂ»-bjfc, Lohhian to about 350 faculty and students.About one-third of the surveys went to faculty, staff and admin-si strators and about two-thirds of thesurveys went to students. The questionnaires were randomly placed in professors mailboxes, givento secretaries and passed out to students, all in one day,' Lohman said. Within a week 120 had beenreturned. Lohman said he used those to compile the figure that 85 percent of the university populationsupport a campus pub. In his report to the senate, Lohman said he will respond to some of the mostcommonly asked questions and concerns. He said, "Through my research it hasn't been demonstratedto me there would be major problems." "I wouldn't mind seeing it .,. implemented;" he^saki.-K^^;^-^. Apub on campus, Lohman said, would be a modest operation that would make an effort to minimizecbmpetion with other taverns.

Kennedy, presidential hopeful Gary Hart challengedWestern students to revive the sense of political responsibility Kennedy once instilled in America'syouth. The two-term senator from Colorado is one of eight candidates seeking the Democraticpresidential nomination. Speaking to about 400 students in the Viking Union Lounge Nov. 22, Hartlikened today's political climate to that of the late 1950s, when America's youth were "quiet andprosperous" and unconcerned with politics. The election of Kennedy changed that, Hart said. "Hechallenged us to a new idealism," by declaring that "every individual had the right and theresponsibility to become involved," he said. Hart, noting that voter turnout has declined in everyelection since Kennedy's death, said today's youth must reaccept that responsibility. "You and yourgeneration must liberate itself from the apathy of the 70s and '80s," he said, chastising students forbecoming involved only in issues that directly affect them. "You should care not just about being draftedto fight a war in Nicaragua, but about whether the U.S. stands for human rights in the world," he said.Students are all too often caught up in struggles overissues like financial aid cuts while ignoring moreimportant issues such as the decline of American education, he added. Presidential candidate Sen.Gary Hart (D-Colo.) confers with Lummi Indian chief James McKay during a Nov. 22 visit to Western.Prep week to the rescue By Bob Bolerjack For the first time in Western history, Finals PreparationWeek came to the rescue of students, providing five days of exam â€” and assignment â€” free readying for the crunch of final exams. The new policy, adopted by the Academic Coordinating Commissionwith the concurrence of the Faculty Senate, prohibits instructors from giving exams during the weekpreceeding finals without the agreement of the department chairman and/or dean and the entire class.Graded assignments with due dates during finals prep week also are taboo unless students were notified in writing by the end of the course's fifth week. Overtaxed students falling victim to violations of thenew policy may file complaints with the appropriate department chairman, who then has two schooldays to make a decision. A chairman's verdict may be appealed to the college dean, who then hasanother two school days to make a final decision. Student complaints must be filed before the secondday of finals week. The policy, first proposed by the Associated Students Board, was adopted in timefor fall quarter implementation after lengthy debate by the Faculty Senate.

State The associationwith Kennedy is not by accident. Hart worked on the campaigns of both John and Robert Kennedy in the 1960s before directing the 1972 presidential campaign of George McGovern. Campaign aide KellyWright said people often liken Hart's style to that of John Kennedy, but it is a similarity that Hart seldommentions himself. Wright said the association gives reason for optimism, as Hart seems to draw support from the "same type of people" who supported Kennedy. Hart has swayed from orthodox campaignpractice by outlining a specific, detailed campaign platform. He has proposed a "new economics"which "goes beyond the traditional Democratic assumption that economic growth can be obtainedonly by massive federal spending. He outlined his economic plan in a 30-page proposal calling for thegranting of federally-guaranteed private loans to industry to update out-datedmanufacturing equipment.Industry must reinvest its profits in ventures such as high-tech education rather than wasting profits byforming unproductive conglomerations, he said. Public, private and labor support is necessary toensure the success of the plan, Hart said. Labor support "may mean conditioned wage demands" onthe part of unions, he said. Hart supports an immediate mutually-verifiable nuclear arms freeze andeventual reduction of nuclear stockpiles. He plans to modernize conventional weapons systems tosupplement this nuclear reduction and ensure a strong defense at a reasonable cost. Ronald Reaganshould be removed from office, he said, if for no other reason than his support of the MX missile system,a weapon "built to fightâ€”not deterâ€”a nuclear war." Hart said the goal of U.S. foreign policy shouldbe "a commitment to human rights beyond that of the Carter administration." He stressed the need forforeign aid that would stimulate economic growth rather than support right-wing dictators. He called for a U.S. donation of technical experts to Central America, as "it's impossible to convert expertise intomoney for dictators." "Until we address the causes of revolution, we will be continually tempted to getinvolved in them," he said. "The enemy in Central America is not communism, it's poverty." He addedthat U.S. aid to El Salvador should be cut off until death squads are captured and their leadersprosecuted. Hart said he fears the Reagan administration may be planning an invasion of Nicaragua. Hechallenged Reagan to muster enough courage to publicly declare whether the plan exists. "Thepresident has gone on TV and said he supports our covert support' for the counterrevolutionaries inNicaragua. Think about what that means. Either our official policy is to overthrow the Nicaraguangovernment, or it isn't." But it is on environmental issues that Hart has risen to national prominence. Hiscontinued support of environmental protection legislations has brought him to the fore ofenvironmental politics, and has reportedly helped him gain grassroots support across the nation. Hart said his tangible stands on the issues distinguish him from Democratic frontrunners Walter Mondaleand John Glenn. "I'm addressing the issues of the '80s," he said, "not running on movies or experience." Mondale and Glenn have accused each other of vagueness on key issues, he said, "and what I've beensaying all along is that they're both right." Hart has pursued a grassroots campaign, making a strongappeal to women and college students to volunteer their time. He may need the volunteers to offset hislack of campaign funding. Hart has refused to accept campaign contributions from political actioncommittees, and has been forced to borrow money, which he hopes will be replaced by matchingcampaign funds in January.

Usually, they come ingroups of two or three by car; cars that look just like American cars, except for those blue and whitelicense plates. Although these people look like Americans, they can be detected ^ by one of threecharacteristics: They say "eh" a lot; they carry funny-colored money; and they appear in droves at suchplaces as K-Mart and Fred Meyer. These foreigners are, of course, Canadians. Whether WhatcomCountiers m like it or not, Canadians have become essential to the local economy. Various estimatesstate Canadians account for one-third of Whatcom County's retail sales, which raises the question:Why is Bellingham so attractive to these ^ people? * Jerry Burns of the Whatcom Chamber ofCommerce cited lower prices and a better selection of products. Even with a 20 percent exchangerate, duty charges and gas costs, it still is cheaper for Canadians from the Vancouver 9 area to shophere than at home, Burns said. Several Canadian shoppers at Fred Meyer a few weeks ago agreed.But other Canadian shoppers disagreed. A woman from Vancouver said prices are no lower # herethan north of the border, because of the devalued Canadian dollar. Why then was she shopping here?Just to get away from home and to go out for dinner, she said. Other shoppers also claimed they camehere merely to go for a ^ drive or to get away from home. But Burns and several Fred Meyer employeesinsisted Canadians come here for one reasonâ€”to shop. James Murphy, assistant manager in thehardware section of Fred Meyer, estimated Canadians Â»make up 50 to 60 percent of Fred Meyer'sweekend shoppers and 20 percent on weekdays. Most come on Canadian and American three-dayweekends, he said. This Canadian invasion is not a passing phenomenon. Vancouv-erites have beenshopping in Whatcom County for many years and they are expected to continue to do so. Accordingto the Bellingham Plan's appendix on population and economy, 20 percent of local shoppers wereCanadian in 1966, while the current 33 percent level is expected to continue at least until the year 2000. The great impact Canadian shoppers have on the local economy was studied in 1978 by HumanResources Planning Inc., for several local governments. In 1976, the study stated, Canadians "spentnearly $170 million on retail goods and services," and "for each million dollars of Canadianexpenditures, in 1976, approximately 18 jobs were generated in the retail trade industry." Indirectly,the study found about 58 jobs were created for every $1 million Canadians spent. Thus, more than19,000 of Whatcom County's 37,500 employees (in 1976) owed their jobs to Canadians. In fact, notonly have Canadian shoppers become a great source of revenue for area businesses, they aredetermining what shape the local economy is taking. The Whatcom County economy is expected tobecome more trade- and service-oriented to accommodate an increasing number of Canadian shoppers, the study said. But, along with their money, Canadians also bring some irritating traits. They have areputation for being pushy, arrogant and terrible drivers. Some are arrogant and pushy, Murphy said,but so are some Americans. Canadians are known A rare sight in local stores is an aisle uncluttered bythe teeming masses of Canadian shoppers. to congregate in the store's aisles, where they talk and clogtraffic. But Murphy said he treats all customers the same. Having more Canadians "means my job'smore secure," he said. One Tacoma shopper said she thought Canadians were rude and pushy. Butshe just ignores them. She said she doesn't let such people bother her. A Blaine man said he thoughtCanadians were good for the economy, but he wished they didn't drive. Canadians aren't good drivers, he said, adding it's possible to get a driver's license in British Columbia without even knowing English.Burns said such complaints are unfounded. People always drive worse in towns they are unfamiliar with,and Bellingham, with its numerous one-way streets, is a tough city with which to become familiar, hesaid. The study noted that because so many Canadians come down Interstate-5, the few who do speedhave given all Canadians a reputation for speeding. But, like them or not, area residents will have toget used to their foreign friends. While The Bellingham Plan and the Canadian Impact Study offervarious projections about how many Canadians will shop here in the future, they agree on one fact: thenumber of shoppers will increase. This means that thousands from British Columbia will learn thetechniques now being used by those who already shop here. For example, since local stores do notaccept out-of-state checks, many Canadians have established local checking accounts. Canadiansalso are reported to camp overnight in the K-mart parking lot so they can get an early start on the nextday's shopping. And some Canadians have become expert at fooling customs officals about what theypurchase d u r i n g t h e i r s h o p p i ng excursions. In Fred Meyer, three middle-aged women werediscussing how they were going to return through the border. One of them asked, "What are you goingto tell them at the border?" Another replied that she was going to declare "everything"â€” except for thestuff in her purse and under the car's seat.

Program Commission Production ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front COMMENT Friday, December 2,1983 FRONTLINE 'Civilized warfare' â€” ^ â€” â€” â€” i ^â€” i ^ No need for illogic War is hell. But to Ronald Reagan that hell could be civilized if citizens could somehow be protected. He recently appeared on Japanese television and said that once upon a timerules kept soldiers from victimizing civilians. "That was civilized." Reagan has been accused of wanting to bring back the pre-New Deal good old days, but now he might need to reach beyond recorded historyto find a time when the actions of soldiers only victimized other soldiers. He has to go backfurther than1945 when the United States dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities and killed thousands ofcivilians. He has to go back further than the last century when Sherman marched over the citizens ofGeorgia. Even in the Late Middle Ages the "illusion of society based on chivalry curiously clashed withthe reality of things," wrote the Dutch historian Johan Huizinga. Surely the citizens of Jerusalem thoughtwar not too civilized as the Assyrians broke down the city walls in 701 B.C. Perhaps in pre-historictimes men fought each other with clubs and no one but the combatants got hurt. The world may becircling its way back to those times. Einstein said he didn't know how World War III would be fought, buthe knew that World War IVwould be fought with sticks and stones. We may be well on our way back tocivilized wars. Money dOWn tUbeS â€” â€” â€” â€” ^ â€” ^ - J Better fee choices Tuesday the AS Boardof Directors will decide the fate of infant day-care at Western. The only objection voiced has been aboutcosts. Some people at Western balk at the thought of spending the needed $6,000 a quarter to fund thisundertaking. They seem to think the board could better spend student money. Tonight you can see a nexample of this. With hardly a qualm, the board risked $26,000 to bring the controversial band, TheTubes, to Western. They fully expect to lose at least $8,000 a n d that figure is based on goodattendance. The choice of this band, bringing Western musical rape scenes and lots of juicy violence,can hardly be seen as a great cultural endeavor or even good judgment. Andy Potter, head of the ASProgram Commission, said the band wasn't chosen for any political reasons rather' "because of theircommercial popularity." If they are so popular, why do they count on a minimum $8,000 loss? Boardmember Peter Ramsey was correct when h e called for a ' "balancing of priorities" within the AssociatedStudents. Students are not being represented well when it is deemed less controversial to fund rockbands t h an a daycare program that will enable more parents to attend Western. Once the board madeits decision to subsidize this concert, it proved no reasons exist to avoid providing infant day care atWestern. If Ramsey's proposal is not approved Tuesday, the priorities of the AS board will b e madequite clear and they will be sad ones: big bands instead of student services.

Ross' "preliminary objectives' Others counter-propose Dear President Ross: You recently created quite a stir on campus with your introduction of 13"preliminary planning objectives" to faculty groups. The objectives, it seems, are intended to instigatediscussions among campus faculty and admi- ~~~ nistrative groups about the future direction ofWestern. You said the objectives were the result of discussions with "various groups" on campus. No one seems to know who these "various groups" are, and the "groups" themselves (if indeed theyexist) are not screaming to be identified. It does seem safe to say, however, that the 13 hopelesslyvague objectives are not the work of students. They are written in a form of pointless bureaucrateseknown only to the administrators and politicians, and any student displaying this singular talent wouldbe struggling through "English 100, Syntax and Usage." Student voices on decisions affecting the futureof Western are considered importantâ€”at least in some circles. And, since Provost James Talbot hassaid anyone can have an objective added to the list, I'll take the liberty to add a few. The followingobjectives, then, reflect the student viewpointâ€”much in the same way the original objectives reflectedthe faculty viewpoint. Decentralization. Many students have corn- By Ron Judd plained they have little orno voice in the university governance system. Placing total control of the university in the hands of ASPresident Dana Grant would eliminate this student anxiety while bypassing such outdated andbackward bodies as the Faculty Senate. Red Square Prep Week. An overwhelming majority of thestudent body feel Red Square should be colored blue during the week before finals to more accuratelyreflect the mood of the students. This also would curb the red-inspired communist rallies around FisherFountain that are common during times of student strife. Prioritization of Resource Allocation. Studentshave expressed their desire to see the College of Business and Economics dismantled and its fundingtransferred to the journalism program. The funds would be used to buy subscriptions to leftist magazinesfor the Front so it can continue its tradition of writing liberal-slanted editorials. Building Names. Thestudents request Arntzen Hall be renamed Recreation Hall. This would make the names of Western's two largest buildings on south campus easier for freshmen to remember, as they would become known asParks and Recreation. Relocation of Campus Sculptures. It's unanimous. The Serra triangle is ugly. Ithas to go. Trade it to the University of Washington for Don James. I believe the interests of the studentshave been accurately represented here. I hope this is of assistance to you as you formulate a "recipefor the future of Western." Yours in the spirit of reform, Ron Going gung-ho Reagan's world dangerousPeople say I am a political liberal. If, by definition, that means I oppose President Ronald Reagan'spolicies, then I gladly embrace the label. Frankly, Reagan scares the hell out of me. He told Americancitizens he would not involve this nation in a war while he was president. To his credit, he hasn't â€” yet. What he has done is bloat military expenditures to grotesque proportions, and begun militaryoperations in any number of countries. While Marines have been under constant attack, and manykilled, Reagan has been increasing our nuclear stockpile to "reach parity" with the Soviets. Parity? What an obscene joke. It doesn't really matterif "we" have 1 or 100 or 1,000 fewer warheads than "they do.How many nuclear bombs does it take to kill someone? Dead is dead. You can't boogey in a body bag.But beyond such rhetoric, what really frightens me is the attitude of the American public. After U.S.forces made a brief tourist stop in Grenada, Reagan went on television to explain in calm, soothing, BySeth Preston monosyllabic words that, by golly, we weren't going to have another hostage situation. The public responded enthusiastically: "Gee, Uncle Ronnie, I'm glad we wasted those terrible, godlessMarxists. Can we pull the wings off a fly next?" Reagan's popularity subsquently surges in opinion polls.Nevermind the beleagured medical students the military saved. It's more likely the invasion was meant tostop the radical Grenadian government and "stem the flow of communism." Reagan didn't have to pushhis hostage story; he has a lot of Americans believing Communists are lurking everywhere, just waiting to launch some barbarian assault on the United States. Mass paranoia isn't pretty. A conventionalattack would be worthless, since it would take millions of troops to subdue our nation. And the Bomb?The United States would have time to respond to a nuclear strike, leaving both sides decimated. The"winner" would conquer an area with the equivalent value of a mud puddle. But Reagan has succeeded inplaying on the fears of Americans. He will continue beefing up the military to fight the Commie menace, and his popularity probably will remain high. The next presidential election is less than a year away,and it looks as though Reagan will stay in office â€” unless a lot of people get "liberal" pretty damn quick. ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, December 2,1983 Western Front 5 Birth control â€” â€” â€¢ â€” â€” Precaution a fact of lifeMany people have mixed emotions about birth control being so available. Some think sex will runrampant with contraceptive publicity and information. Folks, it's already running rampant, with orwithout contraceptives. Too many people at Western and out in the "big world" are accidentallypregnant. Women become sexually active, and, by gosh, they're "doing it" without protection! ByBarbara Smith I know of at least five women who are pregnant because they had the "it won't happen tome" attitude. Ladies, it will happen to you. Sooner or lateryou're going to miss a period and find outyou're faced with an even bigger decision to make than what kind of birth control to use. You don'thave to put yourself through the anguish of becoming accidentally pregnant. It's different if you want to be pregnant, but if not, then take some precautions. The information is out there. You can go to Western'shealth center or counseling center, call a doctor or go to Planned Parenthood but don't think you canget by without some method. You have three options ifyou don't want to become pregnant: don't become sexually active; use birth control and protect yourself; don't use anything and take the chance. Butwhy take the chance and risk an unwanted pregnancy? The choice you make will effect the rest of yourlife.

I saw people pushing and shoving to get those sales, just so they'd havesomething to give someone. Some parents now-a-days give their kids money and tell them to go buywhatever they want. Where's the Christmas spirit in that? This year, Santa, I want the spirit ofChristmas put back into the world. I want people to give gifts because they want to, not because they feel obligated. I want good will spread over the world, not people grabbing and pushing. Money isappreciated, but grandmothers especially are the ones kids count on to give special things.

Thesyndicated columnist and political philosopher showed little tolerance for journalists who use theirpublic platforms to promote selfish interests. When those who control the news columns " d e t e r m i n e by their own cons c i e n c e s what shall be reported and for what pur-pose, democracy BY J e" Kramer is unworkable," he wrote in 1919. Lippmann, however, may have felt differently had he beenaround to play Albertson's "Triple T" bingo. Perhaps he would understand the disappointment faced by the approximately 20 million Western students and others who are a ticket or two away from aChristmas windfall. Like me, he probably would be one number shy of winning $3,000 and one letterâ€” "T" â€”away from spelling "A-L-B-E-R-T- S-O-N-S," good for a top prize of $5,000. That is whereprivilege of the press comes in. At the risk of making democracy unworkable, I submit the followingadmittedly self-indulgent proposal. If any of you "Triple T" bingo players out there have an "833," "875," a "691" or a "T," please give it to me before Dec. 6 when the current game ends. The way I see it, you'llnever win by yourself. We may as well pool our tickets and split the winnings. In the process, we might convince my friend (who I call "Jeff') not to drive his Mazda wagon . through an Albertsons checkstand.You see, my friend is very frustrated about his bad luck in bingo. Some people think he is starting to take the game too seriously â€” that it is beginning to dominate his life. Almost every day, Jeff goes downto Albertsons at the Bellingham Mall under the pretense that he needs groceries. This quarter, he hasspent nearly $18,000 on groceries. His addiction to "Triple T" is so strong, he can no longer pass anAlbertsons without stopping to buy something. Last week, Jeff went home for Thanksgiving. The tripshould have taken less than two hours, instead, it took nearly two days as he worked his way along thegiant food chain. Albertsons, of course, likes Jeff a lot. To thank him for buying so much food, they givehim a bingo ticket every time he goes in. The only problem is that he never gets the ticket he needs. This discourages my friend, but not enough to keep him from playing. Night after night he sits in his roomamid scores of little green cardboard bingo tabs. He carefully pushes through the perforations with histhumb to reveal the numbers. Occasionally he draws a letter, but it never is a "T." He scans the gameboard â€” which he has memorized â€” before discarding the losing tickets on the floor in disgust. It isvery sad to watch Jeff spend hours playing Albertsons bingo when he should be studying for finals andplanning his future. Even so, I haven't given up on him, and neither should you. If Jeff could win even $10 from the game, I'm sure he'd quit playing and rediscover the important things in life â€” such as theWashington State Lottery and Denny's Menu Match.

Although my own child has almost outgrown theneed for this type of facility, my own life over the past two years would have been much easier had such a thing been available before. I feel there is a justifiable need for such a serviceâ€”I personally know atleast two other students who could really use this type of service. For those who feel that anyconcerned and caring mother (or father) should be willing to spend their child's first two years devotingtheir time and energy to that child's welfare, I have several points I would like to make. First of all, I don'tknow of any woman who has left her child in the cai-e of someone else who wasn't personally torn orsincerely concerned about the effects of daily absence on her child. Unfortunately, it is often thecase that it is because of that very caring and concern that most parents do choose either to enter aninstitution of higher learning or the work force. The reason for this is that these parents are responsibleand concerned enough to be looking ahead at their own abilities to provide a secure upbringing for thatchild. I know from experience that this is a very difficult choice to make, especially when it meansleaving your baby with a stranger, knowing that the quality of care probably won't be what you yourselfcould give; weaning your baby away from the breast at an LETTERS earlier age than mostpediatricians recommend and dealing with the inevitable guilt feelings derived from doing so. Infantday-care on campus would help alleviate some of these drawbacks. First of all, parents could activelyparticipate in determining the quality of care that is offered. conditions in our society that hasdetermined this phenomenon are not something that we can change. What the AS board members cando is recognize this trend for what it is and be flexible and far-sighted enough to help provide a healthy,supportive and affordable environment for those who For students with young children, educationalexpenses often preclude paying for costly private infant care. A state-licensed infant-care program would enhance Western's commitment to serving a diversified student body. As fee-paying students here atWestern, we should continue to Secondly, since parents can spend time with their children during classbreaks, it helps ease the trauma of long daily separations for both parent and child. Thirdly, it allows amother to have the option of breast-feeding her child. And fourth, it provides an (hopefully) affordablequality service to those who cannot afford standard infant care services. Not having an infant carefacility on campus unfortunately will not stem the tide of mothers and fathers returning to school. Thefactors that exist to create the have a real need for this kind of facility. Ann Grahn-Morgan Get what you want Western Front: ~ This campus must provide infant child-care services for Western students.During the past month, a number of parents have worked with an Associated Students committee toconsider initiating an infant child-care program. ask questions to our leaders. Are we satisfied withacademic course offerings? Do we like the films being shown on campus: Student government, in spiteof its established institutions (i.e., "advisors"), can influence campus life â€” but only if you have theinitiative and courage to ask. Ron Bensley AS vice president for internal affairs Money wastedBoycott of band urged Western Front: As a former employee of the Associated Students ProgramCommission and a Western graduate, I feel extremely angry about the upcoming concert sponsored bythe AS. I understand that the AS gave thousands of dollars to Andy Potter, special events coordinator, in order to bring the Tubes to Western's campus. What a dreadful mistake. How can the AS knowingly grant money to sponsor a band that openly degrades women and their bodies on stage? How can theysponsor a band that makes a living by acting out fantasies of rape and violence toward women? Surelythe students' money could be put to better use. Let Andy bring woman-hating acts somewhereelseâ€”not to Western with the students' money. I urge all of Western's students to boycott the concertand demand that their money be used in more productive, less offensive ways. Heidi Jo Yeargin KEGS"t?

The HEP Board willdiscuss the matter at its February meeting. The board had received complaints from labor that duringbudget cuts classified personnel were being replaced by temporary employees and sometimesstudents. A study was taken at four state institutions: UW, WSU and two other community colleges, tosee if the fears were real. Dana Grant, Associated Students president, said that students weren't shown in the study to be a threat to the classified employees. The HEP Board monitors the activities of thosewho work half-time or more at state educational institutions. This has exempted work-study students,who cannot work more than 64 hours monthly or about 16 hours weekly. Other students, however, work in on-campus institutional positions might fall under the HEP B o a r d ' s a u t h o r i t y . Grantexpressed concern that the last proposal discussed by the board could be interpreted as allowing someon-campus work now done by students to go to the classified staff. The classified staff have expressedmore concern about temporary employees replacing them than students. Mark Lyon, senior laborrelations specialist for the Washington Public Employees Union, discussed' a lawsuit about such anincident at Edmonds Community college. Edmonds laid off two gardeners in a period of budget cuts.Two part-time workers, not students, worked 19 hours weekly, replacing the work done by one worker. Lyon said that one of the clasi- Parking permit fees equal for similar lots The Parking andTransportation committee decided Monday to equalize all fees in lots with the same designations.This means fees in all G lots (general) will be equal. C lots (resident) also will cost the same, as willall P lots (peripheral). Creating a system of allowing permit holders to park in other lots with the samedesignation also was discussed. The present point system would be eliminated and spaces would be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Also discussed was the possibility of changing lotdesignations. G lots would become U lots (University), C lots would become R lots (Resident) and Plots would become C lots (Commuter). U permits would allow movement to otherU and C lots, ifnecessary. C permits would allow movement to other C lots only. R permits would be restricted toindividual lots by number designation, as the present system is. Dorothy Telles, parking manager,noted many advantages to such a system and only one disadvantage. Faculty and staff with"University" or reserved space permits could park anywhere except resident lots. Those who usetheir vehicles for errands or meetings during the day could take their cars without fear of losing a parking spot. Another advantage would be more people could purchase permits, especially in commuter lots.Automatic renewals for qualified individuals would be fairly simple to institute and the frustration ofremembering to call when parked in another lot for whatever reason would be eliminated. Temporarypermits wouldn't be needed as often, and the number of citations issued would be reduced, she said.Newcomers (faculty/staff) would have the opportunity to obtain closer parking and students would have access to either end of the campus, Telles said. The lone disadvantage is those who arrive earliestwould get the best spots unless they paid for a reserved space. "A hunting permit" is what committeemember Richard Vaw-ter of physics called the proposed new system. "It'll be more inconvenient forpeople. It would increase the number of people running around (to find a place to park). I see it as a totaldisaster." Debaters in top 16 at D.C. tournament By Leanna Bradshaw One Western debate teamreturned empty handed from the Northwest Forensic Conference at Lewis and Clark College whileanother broke into octafinals at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Jim Hanson and Jon Barkerwere unable to place in senior division National Debate Topic at the Lewis and Clark tournament Nov. 17-19. The team regulary competes at the junior level. Gonzaga University teams took first, second and tied with Pacific Luthern University for third place. "We're really pleased with Hanson and Barker'sperformance ariyway. They received reallv good critiques," forensic coach Tom Peters said. Bothstudents entered finals in extemporaneous speaking. Maryanne Boreen and Jeff Parcher went tooctafinals in senior division National Debate Topic at Georgetown University Nov. 25-27. The best 16teams from eight preliminary rounds advanced to single elimination octafinals. "Georgetown was thetoughest tournament we've been to all year. The only teams that showed up were top flight nationalteams," Peters said. The Georgetown tournament was part of an East Coast swing that included atournament at Wake Forest University Nov. 19- 21. Time between the two tournaments was spent inWashington D.C. The debators visited the Library of Congress and toured the Capitol and the floor ofthe House of Representatives. Parcher said the highlight of the trip was the team's success atGeorgetown. It was the first time in two years a Northwest team has entered octafinals at the EastCoast. Peters said, "The results of the swing make us favorites in the Northwest. The experience wasinvaluable." The team has come back with more arguments and evidence, he said. "I hope by Januarywe're going to surprise a lot of people in the Northwest," Peters said. "We plan to go to PLU and theUniversity of Puget Sound tournaments and just blitz them." Western will compete at the Universtiy ofSouthern California Dec. 29-31 and at California State University in Fullerton Jan. 2-4. fied gardenersshould have been rehired. Currently, no HEP Board law, however, covers this type of incident. Currently, temporary employees, unlike classified staff, are hired without taking a civil service test and thus do not receive some of the benefits classified staff receive. . Some temporary employees work for years,Lyon said. They merely rotate positions every six months. Food bank given funds By Tim MahoneyThe Bellingham Food Bank has received $450 from Western students in a fundraising campaignsponsored last month by the Inter-Hall Council. The money was raised in mid- November by door-to-door appeals and donation jars at dorm banana split feeds. The idea came from Western sophomore andNash Hall resident Dan Whitlock. Last year, Whitlock said, "Tim Jensen (now a junior) and I wentaround Nash Hall in a few hours and collected a hundred dollars. It was a spur of the moment thing." The money was then donated to the food bank. This year, Whitlock went to the Inter-Hall Council andproposed that all the dorms join in the drive. The council voted to endorse the idea of each stack andfloor representative in each dorm going door-to-door and asking each student to contribute one dollarto the food bank. Some dorms voted to set up donation jars at banana-split feeds. Ridgeway Sigma-Omega voted to give their money to Northwest Second Harvest, not knowing that the effort was onbehalf of the Bellingham Food Bank.

The report calculates faculty, staff and student spendingpatterns based on "national studies." SAGA and university contributions are determined by usingpast fiscal year expenditures. The report estimates Western's faculty and staff spend 85 percent, or$23.8 million, of their $28 million in salaries in Whatcom County. Housing, food, clothing, andentertainment and recreation account for almost $15 million. Students pump about $20 million intothe economy, the report states. Using "national studies:" to estimate student spending, the report saysstudents spend about $19 million on housing, food and beverages, transportation, and entertainment and recreation. Expenditures for on-campus housing aren't included. Each of Westerns 1,100 faculty andstaff members receives at least one visitor per month, the report states, again using "national studies."Each visitor stays two days, spending $50 a day. In total they spend $660,000. Students have fewer and cheaper visitors, who add $360,000 to the economy. Visiting athletic opponents and those who cometo attend workshops and seminars spend more than $1.5 million. Western pays bills of $1.5 million for water, sewer, garbage collection, electricity and phones, the report states, while another $3 million goes to the purchasing of "lumber, paper, office supplies, etc." SAGA, meanwhile, spends $900,000 or60 percent of its $1.5 million food bill locally.

Accreditation was granted last summer by the Education Training Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. The University of Washington is the other state institution with anaccredited program. Accreditation is expected to provide students with easier access to a certificate inthe two programs. Before accreditation students had to have the Education Training Board evaluateeach class taken to receive a certificate. Now, the board already knows the classes meet itsrequirements and thus students can receive certificates without evalutation. Samuel Polen, actingchairman of the department, said accreditation is very prestigious for the department." A self-studyreport was the starting point to accreditation. The curriculum, clinic an training programs werereviewed and accepted. The final determinant was the site evaluation. Members of the board came fromaround the country to examine the department's files, faculty-student ratio and training on and offcampus. Western has training facilities around the state and parts of Oregon. Being one of only fivecolleges on the west coast, the accreditation of Western's program aids students in locating a job."Most private institutions won't hire people without the certificate," Polen said. No changes in thedepartment will come of the accreditation. Polen does hope to get more faculty, however. XMASCARDS â€¢ BOXED â€¢ SINGLE â€¢ XMAS POSTCARDS â€¢ XMAS WRAP 1220 NO.

Other holidays, which usually happen in September, are more solemnand religious, Shelley Rozen of the Israeli Club said. At 7 p.m. tomorrow the Israeli club will celebrateby hosting a Hanukkah party in the Viking Union Sasquatch room. Hanukkah began at sundownWednesday and lasts eight days. Hanukkah means rededication. Jewish history tells of the synagogue that was defiled. Parts of the synagogue were smashed and idols were placed in the holy temple. Thesynagogue had to be rededicated. During Hanukkah a candle is lit each night on the Jewishcandelabrum, the menorah. The party will include men from the Chabad House in Seattle, a sect oforthodox Judaism, who will tell stories, Rozen said. Israeli folk dancing will be taught by Yoav Yanich aFair-haven student. Rozen said this is the sixth annual party. She expects about 175 people becausethe party is on a Saturday. This also is the first year since Rozen has been involved in the Israeli clubthat the parry has happened during Hanukkah. It is not a religious party, she said. The event is open toeveryone.

The object of the game is to climb 18levels of the Eiffel Tower by answering questions about the 'French language while being chased by agendarme (French police). To keep the game from being to simple or boring, Balas said players arerequired to choose one of six to eight questions at each level. He explained players who answer moredifficult questions correctly, advance- more levels than do players who answer easier questionscorrectly. Players lose more levels if they answer difficult questions wrong. Balas said he wanted tocreate an approach to foreign language teaching that would tie into reality because many timestudents become prooccupied with proper grammar and don't practice speaking. He said when thegame is used in conjunction with a class and the workbook he has developed, it serves to redirectstudents attention from what they actually are doing so they will learn better. Urso said he and Balashave collaborated on the game since March when Balas brought Urso a six page design outline of thegame and asked him to create a computer program for it. One of the reasons he decided to use acomputer, Balas said, is because computers are tireless and students can play repeatedly. Also, thecomputers have the ability to ask questions randomly. When Balas took his idea to Urso, Urso hadstudied computer language for less than a year. Urso said they started by going over the outline andmodifying or eliminating things that weren't feasible with his limited experience. Urso taught himselfcomputer programming because, "it was either a matter of jumping in while I still had the brain cells orignore they exist." The game provided a chance for Urso to put what he had learned to use, Urso said,adding he learned more during the summer creating the game program than he had learned for thebooks. Although the game is 70 percent complete, Balas and Urso said some debugging still needsto be done. For example, Balas said they have not yet programmed the man's fall down the towerwhen the-player misses a question. They also want to include a grand finale, complete with fireworks, when a player wins. Production of the game stopped in September when their program was included aspart of a package Western offered to IBM in application for a grant. If the grant is approved, the programwill be part of a Computer Aided Instructional Software program in which IBM funds development ofsoftware for IBM. Urso said the program would have to be adjusted to the IBM system rather than theCommodore as it is now. He added if that occurred, he would have one-third of the work alreadycompleted. When the game is completed, Balas said Urso will test it in his class to find out if it actuallyhelps students learn. Although the program currently being developed is for French, Urso and Balassaid once the basic design is completed, software for other languages can be developed. Ultimately,Balas said the program would have the capacity to be programmed by insturctors to include thier ownquestions. Balas said it would be more beneficial if an instructor included questions concerning thelesson at the time. iVOP FWm o AS board pursues Kulshan Cabin renewal By David Wasson TheAssociated Students Board of Directors decided Tuesday to try renewing the Kulshan cabin site lease.The board's decision commits it to begin negotiations with the U.S Forest Service for the site. Deadlinefor renewing the lease is Dec. 31. Earlier this quarter the Forest Service issued a statement to theAssociated Students outlining improvements to the cabin site necessary for lease renewalconsideration. Soon after, an Alpine Facilities Committee was formed to research options available tothe Associated Students. The committee's suggestions were presented in a proposal Tuesday.According to the proposal, repairs to Kulshan will not be more expensive than establishing an alternatealpine facility. It estimates repair costs will be $8,000. Jim Schuster, AS adviser, said the board has noway of knowing exact figures until a professional can determine the costs. But AS President Dana Grant said, at this point the board is not dealing with financing repairs, just renewing the lease. Universityservices director Gregg Sheheen said it was important to approve a policy allowing the board to beginnegotiations for an alpine facility. Grant said approval of funding for repairs and advertising to gen-ratestudent interest will come before the board as the need arises. In other board matters,communications director Peter Ramsey presented his infant care proposal. The proposal includes:establishing a licensed infant care center, hiring two staff employees assisted by volunteers andallot-ing as much as $6,000 from bookstore reserves for funding. Infant care became an issue whenstudents approached the board telling of inadequate facilities available in Whatcom County. The ASDaycare, they said, provides some service, but has a waiting li st and is unable to handle all Â£ thestudents' needs. Some board members expressed interest in examining cost breakdowns of theexisting AS Daycare and other Whatcom County facilities before considering action. Sheheen said he understands ^ the value of a cost analysis. But ~ because of apparent immediate need for infant careamong parent/students, some money should be allocated to start a program.

Last week, the Faculty Senateapproved such a policy, but instead of sending it directly to the board of Trustees for consideration, the senate voted to have a faculty referendum on the proposed faculty grievance policy. Ballots were sentout this week and are due this afternoon. The policy approved by the senate does not allow a party from outside Western to be the final arbitrator in a dispute. Instead, the Board of Trustee's decision would befinal and could not be appealed, except by taking the case to a civil court. Last year, the facultyapproved a policy that would have allowed a professor to appeal the board's decision to a third party from outside Western. Western President G. Robert Ross objected to letting an outside party settle auniversity matter. He recommended to the board that they reject the policy. The board refused toapprove it. George Witter of computer science said he didn't want the senate to recommend a policywithout binding arbitration since the faculty and senate voted for it last year. He proposed removing from the policy the paragraph that stated the Board of Trustees had the final say in a dispute. Witter alsoproposed the document be prefaced with a statement that said the faculty had not approved that the final decision be the board's. Bruce Pullan of music said such a statement "has an atmosphere ofpetulance." The board, he said, will think it absurd and not approve it. "Our discussion of it issomewhat meaningless," he said. Rodney Payton of liberal studies said it was an unwarrantedassumption that the faculty thought binding arbitration was an important issue. Witter's motion wasdefeated. But the removal of binding arbitration from the policy warranted a faculty referendum, thesenate decided.

The grants will be funded by The Western Foundation, Inc. with matchingmoney provided by the President's Office and the Bureau for Faculty Research. Kelly said he expects"intense competition'' for the stipends, which will be restricted to full-time faculty members who havebeen at Western at least a year and are guaranteed a position next year. The deadline for applicationis Jan. 6, he said. In past years, the BFR has dispensed up to 20 grants ranging from $1,000 to$2,500.

By Nevonne HarrisThe first draft of a College of Arts and Sciences merit-pay application that made it easier for a committee to make awards was "torn apart" at a Faculty Affairs Council meeting before Thanksgiving. BobChristman, chairman of the council who wrote the application said, "The council tore it apart,"explaining members differed about what information should be included on the form, and how it wouldbe designed. As a result, FAC members have been asked by Christman in a Nov. 28 memo to completea "poll" about some fundamental merit distribution questions for discussion at a meeting sometimenext week. In his memo, Christman said the council has six goals, three of which are controversial. The goals were gleaned from council discussion and faculty response. Christman's memo states, "Becauseall FAC members have not expressed themselves on some of the issues, I perceive this (poll) as ameans of determining where we have consensus and where we need further discussion." The goalsoutlined in the memo are as follows: â€”Selection process must be fair to all faculty. â€”Applicationsshould be factual and sufficiently simple that faculty can prepare the applications easily. â€”Avoidprocedures which might cause candidates to feel Wonderland Tea and (Spice â€¢ Bulk herbs â€¢ Freshspices â€¢ Traditional Teas - Special Blends â€¢ Books â€¢ Oils â€¢CHRISTMAS SAMPLERS 1307Railroad â€¢Downtown 733-0517 COOKIE CAFE 671-8550 â€¢ 1227 Cornwall "New Christmas Hours"NEW CLASS OFFERED: COOKIE EATING #311 No Prerequisite.

Questions also are asked about criteria for merit awards, ranking ofscholarship, teaching and service, an award committee for merit determination and selection ofmembers for the "merit award committee." The council also received the responses of a faculty letterasking for opinion about distribution of merit pay and appointment of an award committee. Of the 25replies at the time of last week's meeting, 13 said merit should be more broadly distributed than theFAC's proposal of 33 percent. Nine agreed with the FAC's proposal.

Olalla, WA 9835s ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front Laws change but death reigns By Carol Smith On the morning of Jan. 17, 1977 GaryGilmore's death wish was fulfilled; he was strapped to a chair, blindfolded and executed by a five-manfiring squad. Gilmore was sentenced to die for the murder of a motel clerk in Provo, Utah, making himthe first person to be executed in the United States since 1967. Gilmore managed to transmute hisdeath sentence into a death wish that troubled the nation. Even his mother, who made appeals to theU.S. Supreme Court on his behalf, was an unwanted ally. When the American Civil Liberties Unionsent him a letter saying, "Sorry, we won't let you turn us into killers," Gilmore replied "Butt out." Hevoiced an unsettling challenge to the court and legal system: "If they got the nerve to sentence aman to die-they should have the balls to carry it out." Gilmore's plight is unusual: most Death Rowoccupants are not so eager to die. The majority of the 1,000-plus inmates on Death Row throughoutthe United States seek to use what appeals are available to them. Many inmates stay on Death Row foryears, exhausting all appeals. As of Dec. 31, 1981, 36 states carry death penalty laws. Compared toother states Washington has one of the lowest number of inmates on Death Row. Only four peoplecurrently are on Death Row, compared to 186 at Florida State Prison as of July 1982. These four people are Charles Campbell, Mitchell Rupe, Willie Mak and Patrick Jeffries. Campbell, convicted of threemurders in Snohomish County and Rupe, convicted of murdering two female bank tellers in a Thurston County robbery, have been on Death Row approximately one year. Mak; recently convicted of theChinatown massacres in Seattle, has been an occupant for less than two months. Jeffries, convictedof two counts of murder in Clallam county, has been on Death Row for less than two weeks. By present law standards in Washington state, after a person is found guilty of aggravated first degree murder, aspecial sentencing proceeding immediatelty follows to decide whether the punishment be death or life imprisonment without parole. The same jury that presided at the original hearing must voteunanimously for a person to receive the death penalty. If death is decided upon the s e n t e n c eautomatically is reviewed by the state Supreme Court. The present law, put into effect July 1, 1981,gives prisoners a choice in the manner of execution. They may choose the traditional hanging or alethal injection of sodium thiopental which would produce unconsciousness in about 15 secondsfollowed by a painless death. If the state court upholds the death sentence it's possible for thedefendant to file a petition that allows new constitutional issues to be raised. Numerous appeals can befiled, making an inmate's stay on Death Row lengthy. Washington State Attorney General MichaelMadden said the most common issue raised is "inefficient assistance of council." After the state courtthe defendant can petition the U.S. Supreme Court. A writ of habeas corpus can be filed at the U.S.District Courts and the defendant also can go to the U.S. Court of Appeals and petition adiscretionary review to the U.S. Supreme Court. "This process can go on forever," Madden said."Prisoners are filing appeals right up to their executions. It's frustrating to understand...No linear sense of progression is apparent, it's very much a free for all," he said. Deputy Director of Prisons Jim Spaldinghas worked for correctional systems 19 years, 13 of which was spent at Walla Walla. "I've seenprobably 15 to 20 people come on Death Row and ultimately leave. All cases were overturned onappeal." Spalding was superintendent at Walla Walla from 1978 to 1981. The only other way a DeathRow inmate can avoid execution is by the governor. The governor has the power to commute any deathsentence. In 1981 six people were commuted and their sentences reduced to life imprisonment.Walla Walla State Penitentiary houses the only Death Row in Washington. "Since 1904 there have been 73 prisoners executed in Washington," Dick Paulson, correctional systems spokesman, said. Bobby Rahy, superintendent at Walla Walla from 1957 to 1977 said he supervised the execution of only fiveinmatesin that 20-year period but saw an excess of 1,000 people come and go on Death Row. Paulsonsaid a newcomer to Death Row is watched 24 hours a day. Surveillance is maintained until theprisoner's "mental also are allowed. These are purchased by the prisoners, or their families, not by the institution. Washington state has not always had death penalty laws. In 1972 the U.S. Supreme Courtinvalidated all existing death penalty laws and forced states to adopt new statutes with strictersafeguards. 'Prisoners are filing appeals right up to their executions.' â€”Michael Madden, WashingtonState Attorney health seems to be stable" and the adjustments are right," he said. "We have thecapability of monitoring them on closed circuit television if we need to." Death Row at Walla Wallaconsists of a six-cell area in the same building, but separated from the segregation population. Aprisoner on Death Row spends 21 to 22 hours a day in a cell that is 52 and-a-half square feet. Inmatesare allowed time for showering and about one hour in guarded outside recreation. They are allowed tohave visitors and have access to the penitentiary library although "the library comes down to them,"Paulson said. Televisions and radios (which are carefully checked by security) "The next law wasinacted by voter initiative in 1976 and was held unconstitutional almost immediately," Madden said. This decision came about because the new law stated the death penalty was mandatory for anybodyconvicted for aggravated first degree murder. The last person executed in Washington state was Chester Joseph Self in 1963. Although Rahy was responsible to make sure the execution took place, he said he didn't feel personally responsible for the death. "It was my job. It never felt like it was me doing theexecuting," he said. The ACLU is a nationwide organization that has opposed capital punishment fordecades. The Eighth Amendment often is one tool used to persuade against the death penalty because of its "cruel and unusual punishment" clause. Because of its philosophical nature capital punishment isas much of a controversy at Western as it is nationwide. Guy Evans, English student, is adamantlyopposed to capital punishment, a decision he only recently has come to. "I don't believe that the deathpenalty has ever been meted out except for the amusement of the masses and I feel that the massescan get by with much less sensational entertainment," he said. Bob Teshera, professor emeritus ofgeography at Western, said "I haven't seen any organized support for capital punishment. It seems to be strictly a matter of individual conscious. A lot of people are philosophically opposed to the death penalty but are so scared- now they want it just for self protection." "Being a taxpayer like every body else I'msick and tired of paying to keep people in prison for life," Judy Kastner, of Bel- Ingham, said. Onefaculty member said, "Some people are lethal life forms. You don't feel bad about killing cancer cells doyou?" Capital punishment has changed since 1909 when courts had discretion of sentencing but muchcontroversy still exists. ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 13 ---------- HTS Western Front 13 By Lisa Stewart Walking barefoot over a bed of hot embers is not advised forfireside entertainment, but some people do i t a s an expression of overcoming fear. Bruce TollyBurkan, to his knowledge, is the only person # who sponsors firewalking workshops in the UnitedStates. A group of at least 20 adventurous people gather for 4-hour workshops that are taught acrossthe country and in Scandinavia. Burkan recently offered a fire-walking/ fear reduction work- # shop inBellingham. Burkan begins each workshop by having the group sing three or four songs to let out stressand lighten the mood. During the singing, participants sign release forms and pay the fee: $50 foradults, $15 for children. 0 Once the group is settled, participants stand, state their names andreasons for attending. "I am fascinated with doing the impossible," Tom Anderson, a participant, said.Bob Eslinger, another participant, said, "I'm interested in fire. I M want to expand my limitations andblow out the barriers." Building the fire is next. The importance of togetherness is stressed with everyone helping build the outdoor fire. A mixture of wood and paper make up the F I R E Conquering fear withfire yard-wide mass that soon will be the barrier for each person to overcome. The fire is lit and thegroup circles it, holding hands and singing. In silence, the participants walk back to the house. Burkandiscusses the limitation fear puts on people and how to overcome that fear. "Fear limits us more thananything," Burkan said. "And tonight, the fire is a symbol of fear." FEARâ€”False EvidenceAppearing Real. This is what holds back humans from doing what they want in life, he said. Burkanillustrates this with a story. A man who was afraid of snakes arrived at a hotel and was warned aboutpoinsonous snakes around town. Afraid he would see a snake, the man spent his entire stay watchingfor one. He went to his room, which was darkened by the encroaching night, and spotted a snake on the floor in front of him. He had a heart attack and died and was found the next morning along with a coiledpiece of rope. Fear killed him. Burkan has three methods for overcoming fear. First, pay attention.Many fears are illusions. People see what they think to be the truth and build beliefs around that. If fullattention is given to something and it is seen for its real value, all fears will be put to rest. Concentrationon the subject leaves no room for fear. Preliminary procedure is Bur-kan's second method. Visualize the worst thing that could happen in a given circumstance and deal with it. Then sweep it aside and expectthe very best to happen. The "what i f syndrome is the root of fear. Humans are caught up with whatmight happen, it takes them over and ruins them. Standing in a movie line thinking, "By the time I getup there, the movie will be sold out. I'm standing out here and I won't even get in," would be a waste ofan hour. Instead, think, "This will be great. I'm going to get into the movie, get some hot butteredpopcorn and really enjoy the movie." Thinking the second way didn't waste an hour of fear whether ornot the movie would be sold out. Method three is "go for it." This is a four-point-way to obtain any goal.1. Know where you are. 2. Know where you want to go. 3. Choose a plan of action. 4. Go for it. "Take arisk. It will make you grow up whether it was a good experience or a bad one," Burkan said. These three methods will overcome any fear, Burkan said. After the discussion, everyone takes off their shoes and socks, rolls up their pants and silently walks to the fire. While Burkan rakes out the red-hot coals to aflat bed, the rest of the group stand around the fire and sing. Burkan walks across first followed byanyone who wants to walk. No pressure is put on the people to walk. After the majority of them follow him, Burkan gives a one-minute warning. As the last people cross, he waters down the coals andeveryone walks silently back to the house. The official fire walking song, "I've Got Shoes," is sung by everyone. Finally, how the experience felt and how it will be integrated into individual lives is discussedover refreshments. "There aren't any limitations in life," Eslinger said. Stress: Coping with holiday blues By Deanna Shaw It is the season to eat, drink and be merry, and for many people also is the season for stress, depression and overindulgence. If the holiday period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day makes you happy and excited, don't change anything, said Kara-lee Stokes, education coordinator forSt. Joseph Hospital. But if you develop stress symptoms, you may need to modify your personalapproach to the holidays. Stokes and JoAnne Albers, a registered nurse at St. Joseph Hospital with abroad background in stress management, present educational programs on holiday stressmanagement to help people with the problem. Stressed people have symptoms such as unhappiness, negativity, loneliness, isolation, resentment, anxiety and helplessness, they said. The feelingscan lead to irritability and temper outbursts, fatigue, crying bouts and overindulgence of money, effort,food or drink. To control stress, Albers said it's helpful to know the roots of individual problems.Sometimes the roots lie in adjusting to a new life situation such as a death, divorce or a change infinancial circumstances in the immediate family. Another source is unrealistic expectations about theholidays, Albers said. The gap between reality and our idealized visions of holiday togetherness andtradition lead to dissatisfaction and the blues, especially for children. These negative feelings oftencontinue throughout life although the source may not be traceable. The Norman Rockwell vision of the family sitting around the table, for instance, may be wonderful, Albers said, but few families fit into the mold now-a-days. She said people feel inadequate when they don't measure up to their idealizedpicture. To alter this condition they may have to reexamine some of the ideas they have about holidaytraditions. Students have a special brand of holiday stress as they come to a sudden stop after a busyterm at school and return home to their families, Albers said. Some strain always is present whenchildren break away from the home. Students mature and become more self-reliant while away, and they return home expecting a new relationship with their family. But parents tend to pigeonhole the students in the same slot they were in before, Albers said. This leads to disappointment and friction, oftenerupting into anger. To cope with stress, students can lower expectations and realize that families areslow to change, she said. Albers also suggested acting mature and patient. Eventually the family willaccept the changes in the student, but it takes time. Another source of holiday stress is giving andreceiving gifts. Students and others with little extra money often feel inadequate because they can'tafford expensive gifts. As a result, they sometimes fail to buy one, which hurts others who interpret it asa lack of caring. Albers suggested giving inexpensive gifts. "A card and a $2 flower sometimes arebetter than an expensive gift and say as much," she said. "The important thing is being together." Justdon't spend more than you can afford, because you will feel not only depressed but resentful, Stokessaid. Self-expectations also contribute to holiday stress. Many people try to pack too much into the holiday season, Albers said. We send cards, bake copious amounts of goodies, shop, wrap, decorateand attend gatherings till exhaustion sets in. "Fatigue itself is a problem with our moods, because whenwe get exhausted we're apt to get depressed," she explained. "Take time to relax." She suggestedcompiling an "I need to do list" of things to be accomplished during the holidays. Then make a second list, except head it with "I want to do." If needs and wants don't match, it may be time to rethinkpriorities. "Reconsider if you're getting out of the activity what you're putting into it," she said. "Theunfortunate thing is that you may get too tired to do things you'd enjoy much more." Loneliness canbring on the holiday blues, too. Many people have no plans for the holidays nor families nearby, so tocope with loneliness, they need to reach out to others, Albers said. This can be difficult sincedepression makes many of us feel like withdrawing, but she noted that expressing our needs to other sis the best way to handle loneliness and isolation. If you will be alone over the holidays, seek help andcompanionship from friends or consider volunteering to share the holiday with lonely people in anursing home, hospital or mission. "Lonely people unable to reach out to others will remain lonely,"Albers noted. People often react to all the holiday stress by overindulging to relieve the pressure andconflicting emotions. Drinking and eating too much are big problems because holiday celebrations are closely tied to food and alcohol. Stokes said it is unrealistic to think you can get by without eatingany goodies during the holidays. Therefore, it is best to plan strategies to avoid binge behavior whilestill enjoying the good food. Stocking up on low-calorie â€¢ See STRESS, page 14 ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 14 ---------- 14 Western Front Friday, December 2,1983 Stress may inflate during holiday season* STRESS, frompage 13 snacks is one suggestion for over-indulgers, because people tend to grab quick, high caloriesnacks when they're busy and tired. Don't starve all day before a party, Albers also advised, since youare likely to go out of control once there and overeat. A light snack before a party can helpyou stay incontrol. She advised choosing a couple of favorite cookies or candies and concentrating on enjoyingthem. This will help you avoid feeling deprived. "Somedays you'll overeat, but it's not an excuse toovereat for six weeks," Stokes said of the holidays. It is a great time to add some exercise, she added.A disciplined program is not necessary, just more physical activity. For instance, walking to the postoffice to mail cards, she said. Albers said exercise also is a great stress relieverâ€”as long as it's anoncompetitive activity. Stokes said students have spe cial weight control problems because of changes in lifestyle and lack of exercise. They often dread trips home because they must choose betweenadding unwanted tonnage to their frames or hurting a mother who has made all theirfavorite dishes. Shesuggested sending a short note home in advance, explaining the problem and asking parents to help.This way, they won't be upset and the student won't feel guilty, she said. "I don't care what you eat orhow good it is," Stokes emphasized. "If you don't feel good about your body afterwards, it's not worthit." Many people also overindulge in alcohol during the holidays, but Stokes said students probablydrink less when they go home. But students facing longstanding alcohol-related problems in theirhomes may have special difficulties over the holidays, Albers said. Alcohol, often a catalyst for Onedollar off!

Magnolia family arguments and conflicts, lowers inhibitions so buried resentments andunhappiness spill out. The increased drinking at family gatherings can unleash a tide of angercreating a miserable experience for all. Drinking outside the home is more of a safety issue, Stokessaid. If you will be partying over the holidays, she advised designating one person at the party to be thenondrinking driver for the evening. Also, focusing on conversation and activities to avoidoverindulgence may be helpful to those who tend to drink too much. Above all, be careful, she saidemphatically. "If you're going to drink, drink smart. Don't drink stupid," she said. Stokes said the wisestway to help beat stress over the holidays is to make a personal commitment to care for ourselves."Think moderation at all times," she advised.

Â« ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 15 ---------- Friday, December 2,1983 SPORTS Western Front 15 Vikings roll with big wins, small line-up Vikingcenter Bob Franks goes up for two while teammates and opponents alike watch his ascension lastTuesday in Western s 93-76victory over Whittier College in Carver Gym. By Dan Ramsay Nobody toldWestern's men's basketball team that teams without tall players don't win big games. Not only have theVikings won the first three games of the 1983-84 season but they've won big and against big opponentswith a starting line-up that averages only 6-feet-2-inches. On Nov. 22 the Vikings took on the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and came away with a 99-86 decision. Four nights later the victim was the University of Victoria - the four-time defending Canadian national champion. Western not only won the game, 97-86, but they became the first Victoria opponent to win a game in Victoria in two-and-a-halfyears. Last Tuesday evening the Vikings entertained an anxious home crowd with an exciting 93-76win over Whittier College of California. The three 90-point plus game have already established a newWestern team record for most games over 90 points in a season, and that's.just after three games. Ledby the hot shooting of senior Todd Bailey, Western's tallest starter at 6-feet-6- inches, the ball-handling of 5-foot-9-inch John Defranco, and the rebounding of senior Bob Peters, the Vikings have been playinggood, if not excellent, basketball. Bailey has scored 23, 26 and 28 points respectively while shooting asizzling 71 percent from the field. He hit 13 of 15 shots attempted against Whittier to tie the 12- year oldrecord for field goal accuracy set by Mike Franza in 1971. Defranco has done it all, scoring at a 17.6clip, handing out 6.6 assists per game and has 17 steals. Peters, a forward at just 6-feet-2-inches, haspulled down 33 rebounds foran 11 per game average. Against Victoria's taller defense (7-foot, 6-feet-ll-inches) he grabbed 16 boards to pace the Viking upset. - Against Whittier the Vikings never trailed,leading at the half 42-38. The lead reached double figures after a DeFranco lay-up at 16:58 of the secondhalf and reached 14 points with 7:57 left (70-56). The Poets then tried to press the smaller and quickerVikings but DeFranco and senior Greg Lambrecht dribbled clear every time, thrilling the partisan crowdwith around the back and between the legs ball-handling. Twice the shifty Western guards fakeddefenders to the seat of their pants, prompting applause from the 1000 spectators. "I love it," DeFrancosaid of the Whittier press, "I like to dribble around those guys." A grinning Westphal, who called theVictoria game "a perfect 40 minutes of basketball," was again pleased with his team's performanceagainst Whittier. "We played well. We did exactly what we said we had to do. We didn't feel we couldblow them out, or anybody, but we had to stop some people in the second half and play intense,aggressive defense. Then we spread them out and when we spread out we're pretty tough." Westphalwas referring to the four-corner offense the Vikings used late in the second half that finished off the Poets. One of the people who was giving West-em the most trouble was Whittier forward Steve Bloom, whofinished with 15 points and 11 rebounds. But he wasn't a factor in the second half thanks to the defensive pressure applied by Viking centers Bob Franks and Mark Tibbetts. Western players were naturallypleased with the fast start: "It's a lot of fun," said Peters, the lone starter from last year's team thatstarted out 1-10. "A little different from last year," he joked. "I like the crowd and I hope we get morepeople," added DeFranco. "They were really vocal." "Just another win to tally up," a smiling Franks said. "It feels really good. We've just got to keep it up," Bailey said. "We don't have the luxury of going outthere and counting on our height, we've just got to keep giving 110 per cent." Bailey, whose gameappears to be in top form admitted he is playing with confidence and hopes to keep scoring "as longas they keep passing me the ball." "Desire," Bailey said, "is the difference from last year. People want to win." Western will now have until Dec. 10 to prepare for the first conference game of the season againstPacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. Women win three straight; tour Tacoma this weekend By SteveRupp For teams with outstanding talent, early season winning streaks are not only expected butimportant. When a team can piece together a winning streak, confidence and togetherness improve,making the team even stronger. The Western women's basketball team has been busy reeling off one such winning streak lately. This one is at three games and counting and head coach Lynda Goodrichcouldn't be happier. "I think we're in good position," Goodrich said. "The team is playing well. They'replaying more together as a team." Team play has kept the Vikings busy, victories coming against theUniversity of British Columbia 85- 63 the 21st, the Montana Tech Orediggers 81-59 the 26th, and theirlatest, a come-from-behind victory over district foe Simon Fraser 63-55 Tuesday night. Granted, thestreak is 21 shy of the school record set by Western's squad during the 1972-73 campaign, but inaddition to starting the season with a fine 3-1 record, the Vikings have proven their ability to putopponents away as well as coming from behind. The latter trait pleases Goodrich. "It's good for you(coming from behind)," Goodrich said. "It makes you play a little more intense." One Viking who hasn'thad any problems with intensity has been guard Lori deKubber. She currently leads the team inscoring, averaging more than 13 points a game. Her high-arching shots are finding the mark nearly fiftypercent of the time. "She's just a good pure shooter," Goodrich said. Another player who is enjoyinga blistering shooting touch now is center Lana Hamilton. The senior is hitting more than 72 percent ofher shots with super efforts coming against UBC (10 of 14 for 20) and Montana Tech (4 of 5 for 8). "Ididn't expect it," Hamilton said. "There's been great passing inside." Transfer Teresa Willard has alsodisplayed an elegant shooting touch, hitting nearly 53 percent of her shots to average 11.8 pointsper game. While scoring 72 points per game is nice, ballgames are won with defense and the Vikingsare defensing teams with a vengeance. They've forced 102 turnovers and grabbed 60 steals, whichpleases Goodrich. Goodrich said she was especially pleased with the way the Vikings have playeddefense in their last two games in particular. Against Montana Tech and Simon Fraser Western wasable to hold them both under 60 points. Against the Clansmen, defense was needed even more because Simon Fraser had taken a 25-23 halftime lead. "They're a tough team, especially on their homefloor," Goodrich said. "We put some pressure on them and forced a lot of trouble." Even though theVikings have been able to do just about what they've wanted to this season, Goodrich said she wouldmake a few changes, mostly on offense. She said most of the change involves forward Cindy Pancer-zewski. Goodrich said one reason Lori deKubber, a junior guard, is Vikes' leading scorer, averaging more than 13 points per game. Pancerzewski has only been scoring 5.8 points per game is because shehad been moved outside in the regular Viking offensive pattern. "We moved her outside, it's more ourfault," Goodrich said. "We want to get her involved more and that means moving her to the paint whereshe is more effective." Western takes its winning streak on the road for six games before returning tothe friendly confines of Carver Gym. The first two, against Puget Sound tonight and Pacific Lutherantomorrow, promise to be tough ones. "It's hard for them (the players)," Goodrich said. "They're rightinto finals." ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 16 ---------- 16 Western Front Friday, December 2,1983 Young grid team has potential for the future Western headfootball coach Paul Hansen said almost from the day he was hired his first-year goal was to have theVikings leam his playing system. And despite a typical 1-9 season record, evidence indicates he hadsome success. The Vikings, who lost their first five games by an average score of 38 to 10, showedsteady improvement in the season's second half. They upset Eastern Oregon State College 31-10, andlost to a tough Simon Fraserteam by a single point. While the team improved as a whole, individualplayers began asserting themselves. Junior quarterback Dave Peterson finished sixth in the NationalAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics in total offense with 223 yards per game. Peterson set nineschool records (six single-game and three season), including most pass attempts and completions in ayear. He was a second-team All-Evco choice, and won NAIA National Offensive Player of the Week forhis performance against Eastern Oregon. Sophomore center Dan Quillen was the only Western playerselected to the NAIA District 1 All- Star team, while freshman tight end Scott Ashmore set a new school record with 50 receptions. Sophomore kick returner Mark Moran finished fourth nationally in kickoffreturns with a 26.7 average, and he set a Western record with a 99-yard return for a touch- LIQUID ATION CLOSE-OUT MOST FIXTURES TOO!

Â» ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 18 ---------- 18 Western Front Friday, December 2,1983 Hockey now just a hobby for Utendale By Pat Bulmer Afterbeing unable to crack the lineup of the then-powerful Detroit Red Wings hockey team, and being tradedthree times in his short pro career, John Utendale decided he was not going to waste time toiling inhockey's minor leagues. Utendale had the foresight many pros lack. He left the game to pursue another career. But the head of Western's department of educational administration and foundations hasn'tabandoned the game. He coaches Western's championship hockey team. It's a hobby, like any other faculty member has a hobby, Utendale said. And though coaching hockey and playing for the University of British Columbia's alumni, team on Monday nights takes a lot of time, Utendale said it doesn'tdetract from his work. The sport is an evening and weekend activity, he said. When he's in his office, it'sall business. Well, almost. Utendale admitted hockey eats into some office time, such as when he iscontacted by one of his players, by Viking Manager Chet Cory, or when he is hounded by the Front'shockey reporter. But he said this time is justified Icemen notch first win ever at Trinity By Pat BulmerInstead of being blown out in the third period as often happens when Western's hockey team meetsTrinity Western College, the Vikings fired four third-period goals to beat the Langley, British Columbia,squad 7-4 Nov. zi. Playing in Aldergrove, B.C., the Vikings notched their first win in three years over theSpartans and their first win ever on Trinity's home ice. The fast-paced game was scoreless after the first period and tied at three after two stanzas. Trinity "came out flying," Viking Manager Chet Cory said,but Western goaltender Barry Schrei-fels made some "key saves right off the bat." Western broke thedeadlock with two early second-period goals only to see Trinity tie the game. But rather than fold, theVikes poured it on in the last 15 minutes aided by several Spartan penalties. Viking Coach JohnUtendale Heartful thanks to the 685 Blood donors willing to give! Because you give, we ail can feelmore secure. Student Health Services and Whatcom Community 645 units drawn cited several factors that allowed Western to break the Trinity jinx. The Vikings are a better team and a better conditionedteam than last year, he said. The team's defense is stronger as is the defensive play of the forwards."We outplayed them," he said. Western outshot Trinity 42-28. Forwards Dale Zelter and Dave Higginseach scored two goals. Todd Thachuk, Al Perry and Tom Schuett added one each. Western, now 1-0-2in league play, also battled a men's team in New Westminster, B.C., Nov. 19. That game finished in a 6-6 tie. Western's next league game is in Aldergrove Jan. 9, a rematch against Trinity. At 9:15 p.m., Jan.21, Western hosts Douglas College of Vancouver, B.C., in the Bakerview Ice Arena. The Vikes'slineup will see some changes for those games. Brothers Barry and Grant Mat-thisen have left the teamfor personal reasons, Utendale said, while forward Rich Utendale, who played last year will return. ias it is serving students, adding, "I know what my job is." But, as if to prove a point that times for workand play must be distinguished, Utendale's discussion of his hockey exploits was interrupted by abusiness phone call. Then he had to rush to a class, which was followed by a meeting. Later, Utendaleexpanded about his love for his hobby. "A healthy person is a well-balanced person." People needcreative and recreational pursuits, along with academic and career pursuits, he said. Is his hobbyrelaxing? Utendale laughed, thought a bit and then answered, "Yes." To a typical Washingtonian,Utendale's love for hockey might seem unusual, but when one considers his background, it isn't. He said he has been playing and coaching for more than 30 years. Utendale grew up skating and playinghockey like all other Edmonton kids. His career, however, went longer than most other kids'. In 1956he joined the Junior A Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Canada Junior Hockey League (forerunner oftoday's Western Hockey League), then a Detroit farm team. He signed a pro contract with the RedWings in 1958, but couldn't crack the lineup of the team that had won three Stanley Cups and sevenregular season titles during the 1950s. The best he could do with the Wings was don the uniform forsome exhibitions in 1959. At that time, Utendale noted, the National Hockey League was a six-teamleague. Had he been with a weaker club, such as Boston, or in a 21-team league, like the NHL today,Utendale said he might have made it into the big-time. And that would have been historic, for blacksin the NHL were, and are, few and far between. AT PARK BOWL .. Monday nights are Western's nights!

Utendale said the reason for this isn't necessarily because of any racist attitudes, butbecause Canada has few blacks. "I would have like to have been the Jackie Robinson of hockey," hesaid. In fact, during his final pro year, Utendale did play with hockey's Jackie Robinson, Willie O'Ree, on the Quebec Aces. Utendale ended his pro career at age 22 in 1960. Three trades, the unglamorousminor league lifestyle and marriage all contributed to that decision, he said. He was not disappointedin not making the NHL. One year, just to say he was there, would have been nice, but Utendale said his abilities had been proven, and he now is more "successful" than many of his hockey contemporariesof the 1950s. Salaries were not good, anyway, Utendale said of the days before free-agency. Afterretirement, Utendale returned to school, but he didn't turn his back oh the sport. Utendale financed his way through school by playing semi-pro hockey. This included a season with the Spokane Jets of theWestern International Hockey League in 1968 while he earned his master's in education at EasternWashington University. He moved to Washington State A University in 1969, where he completed hisdoctorate and then took an administrative job. In 1972, Utendale transferred to Western, where he hascontinued to pursue his hobby. In Bellingham, Utendale has been extensively involved with ^ minorhockey, the Bellingham Blazers in 1976 and Western's team for the past five years. But he seems tohave put the game in perspective. Not only won't he let it interfere with his work, Utendale said he won'tlet in interfere with other things, Â£ either. For that reason, when business or personal matters came up last season, Utendale delegated coaching responsibilities to team captain Todd Thachuk. But whileUtendale won't let A hockey dominate his life, he also ^ said he has made a commitment to coach,which means Tha-chuk's, or anybody else's, days behind Western's bench will remain limited.PRECISION HAIRCUT $ 595 Everyday Low Price Clll i-Cllk'l A V irQrqfters COME IN AT YOURCONVENIENCE BELLINGHAM MALL 671-0505 OPFN MÂ°n gt; Tues, Wed Fri 9-7 pm, Thurs 9-9 pm u r L n Saturday 8:30-6 â€¢ Sunday 12-5 pm ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 19 ---------- ARTS/ENTERTAINMENT Friday, December 2,1983 Western Front 19 TyBeS rock' to blast Westernwarped parody of American excesses in CarverGym loards; (center) Fee Waybill,, vocals. ^f^^^^^i^^^^^^^^^^^pe^^^^^^g members are pictured newly groomed and tailored, Review Jazz singers,musicians swing audience with songs Smooth notes of the saxophone were added to the sounds heardat Western's jazz concert. By Angela Dean A guitar duo, a six piece instrumental combo and the vocalJazz Ensemble showed what they learned from this quarter's classes Tuesday at the Performing ArtsCenter Concert Hall. Some learned more than others. The Brian Cunningham and Clive Pohl duo wascomposed of pieces written by both. Pohl played electric guitar and Cunningham played acoustic guitar.Together, at times, they sounded like one instrument. "Revenge of the Beautiful People" written byCunningham, had strong trade-offs with the theme and background. A medley with pieces "Motel Six"and "Untitled" both written by Cunningham showed off Pohl's talent when he improvised. Cunninghamwas sensitive and played the chords lightly so Pohl could be heard. A piece written by Pohl titled"Harry" had no real foot tapping beat, but the two guitars flowed smoothly into the transitions. Some ofthe pieces made it easy to get lost in the fusion. Others the theme was prevalent. The Bob Nixon Combo made up of piano, drums, trumpet, alto saxophone and tenor saxophone, got the audience swinging with a piece written by Nat and Julian Adderly, "Spontaneous Combustion." But, when musicians went intosolos John Guilfoil, drummer, was not sensitive to the loudness and softness of the soloist. Larry Priceon tenor sax transitioned well from his solo into the entire group joining him. The ballad "If You Could See Me Now" included only four of the musicians, the rhythm section and Larry Price playing tenor sax. Thedrums quieted down and let the Bob Nixon piano play with a nice flowing introduction. Price joined thegroup with a smooth and laid-back solo. The ballad did drag, but ended with a nice delay and extendednote. "Caribbean Cutie" written by Julian Adderly highlighted this set with its Latin American beat. Dave Price switched from alto sax to flute to add a light and crisp touch. Guilfoil and Steve Johnston on basskept a steady rhythm, allowing the audience to concentrate on the soloist. Bill Bagnall on trumpetimprovised well when the group transitioned into a swing tempo. The final act did not top the other twogroups. The Vocal Jazz Ensemble directed by Dale Nakatani needed stronger male voices. The sopranos over powered the rest of the ensemble. "Snowfall" arranged by Gene Puerling of Singers Unlimited didn't fall lightly like snow. The voices muddled together. The group did have a good sense of rhythm. Theback-up rhythm section composed of Nakatani on piano, Robert Scott bass and Greg Williamson drumshelped a lot. The ensemble ended the concert with spirit by singing "Christmas Song" by Mel Torme. Â» ---------- Western Front - 1983 December 2 - Page 20 ---------- 20 Western Front . December 2, 1983 Review Media issues dulled by typical scenes By Carol Smith"Under Fire," a film depicting the role of journalists in Nicaragua during the overthrow of PresidentSamoza, is playing at the Mount Baker Theater. It is an exciting film for aspiring journalists and for those who feel they live in a press-ridden society because it deals with some of the big moral questions thattoday's press must face: fame vs. duty and duty vs. individual morality. The film also covers to a smallextent the question of United States intervention in Nicaragua. Nick Nolte is the American pho-tojournalist who risks his life to take pictures for the rest of the world to see. His graphic photos bringhim more and.more recognition until he is considered dangerous by President Samoza's "guardia."Joanna Cassidy, journalist, plays the wife of the older Gene Hackman, also a journalist. From thebeginning, when Cassidy is shown in a low-cut dress, suspicions about box-office priorities come tomind. Suspicions are confirmed when Nolte and Cassidy fall in love. Now two journalists are boldlywading through streets of dead bodies and exploding were more votes than voters." Nolte plays aconvincing character who's whole world revolves The film deals with some of the big moral questionsthat today's press has to face: fame versus duty and duty versus individual morality. "Yes you can!"says Peter Pan. Western did â€” with a flying machine from Las Vegas. 'Peter Pan' helps theater bombs to uncover the "'truth." The story won't win any nominations for best plot" but it does achieve itspurpose. It teeters on the fine line between an "awareness film" and entertainment. Violence and stronglanguage are components from the beginning, but, what war doesn't contain these? Through theviolence the audience is led to feel what the journalists feelâ€”contempt for Samoza and sympathy forthe revolutionaries led by Rafael. This feeling isn't always generated through violence though. In aninterview Samoza claims, "We have a democracy...I was voted in." Cassidy replied, "But there aroundhis cameras. He is the stereotyped pushy journalist who "prefers business to words." Nolte has anability to always look shocked, making what he sees all the more horrible. The audience knows that this has become more than just a photo assignment for Nolte when he doesn't take pictures of oneparticular shooting. Instead he grabs the gun of the killed man. Although the plot is predictable mostof the time, it has a few heart-stopping twists. "Under Fire" shows the injustice, helplessness, hateand anger of people under a dictatorship. The audience may leave with the same feelings.

The cast includes 30 performers, including some youngsters. "Peter Pan" will feature a full orchestra,directed by Scott Tobey and many special effects including flying. The flying machine was brought fromLas Vegas. It is patented by Flying by Foy. "It included a specialist to teach our own people how torun the machine," Cattrel said.

More than 760 records, with recordings inEnglish, French and Spanish, originally broadcast over government-operated Canadian BroadcastingCorporation (CBC) stations have been given to Western since it was made a full depository in 1982.More are on the way. Radio Canada International (the international arm of CBC) and the CanadianDepartment of External Affairs had sought to house some of the CBC's finest works at United States'universities to promote Canadian-American studies. When they discovered Western's program, theyapproached the school. Richard Peterson, director of Archives and Special Collections at Wilson Library, said since that time, record shipments have arrived periodically. "This is a real treasure to be given fulldepository status," Peterson added, noting the value of the records as a resource tool for both studentsand faculty. "The only problem has been getting the word out that we have them." He is enthusiasticabout the diverse collection of records housed partially in the library's archives and partially in themusic library at the Performing Arts Center. Peterson said the records cover a gamut of categoriesincluding music, drama, short stories, documentaries, Canadian history and children's recordings.Musical offerings range from classical to French "pop" to children's nursery songs, while non-musicalselections consist of topics from parapsychology to the sinking of the Lusitania. One outstanding seriesis the Massey Lectures, a yearly presentation of 10 half-hour broadcasts on a specific subject. The 1982 series, on nuclear war and written by Yale psychiatry professor Robert Jay Clifton, is titled"Indefensible Weapons."

Few strings are attached to the gift of Canadian recordings. Western mustprovide appropriate listening facilities, prepare a yearly report on their use and properly store andcatalog the records. Western also must share the records with students, faculty, other colleges anduniversities, the general public and radio stations. Peterson has tried to fulfill this request by contactingfaculty publications and by direct mail to other schools and radio stations. Peterson said although thelibrary is in the lengthy process of cataloging the bountiful supply, the records may be checked out anytime. Records housed in the Wilson Library can be checked out for two-week periods by going to thespecial collections assistant at the fifth floor media center. The CBC's musical recordings are available from the PAC's music library during regularly scheduled hours. A catalog and shelf list of recordings isavailable to help students locate specific records.

Women boast art in Labyrinth, play Art emphasizing women's abilities currently arebeing prepared with two events sponsored by the Women's Center. "Labyrinth," the literary magazine of short story, prose, poetry and arts is expected to be ready for publication in December. The firstvolume of "Labyrinth" last year hosted the talents of local women authors and artists to capture themood and personality of the women of this generation. The title of this magazine only begins to hint atthe puzzles and insights of the changing women's role. A labyrinth is a system of many twistingpassages or paths out of which it is hard to find one's way. The second event in progress is theSisterStage production of "Uncommon Women and Others," opening at 8:15 p.m., Jan.6 in the Fair-haven auditorium. SisterStage is a new women's theater group established by Laura Exparza Ste-phani Louri. "Feminism and theater are important to me. A lot of my early political influences wereinspired by women's music and arts, stories of their struggles and celebrations of their lives," Lourisaid. Feminist theater, cuts into the popular mainstream and adds a political message. "UncommonWomen and Others" contains a message of how women adapt and sometimes compromise within the setting ofawomen's reunion. ^m^^^sMBfBM^^^mms^E^^^^^ % â€¢ Vintage Books â€¢ Books onAntiques Collectables â€¢ Nostalgic gifts OTOL#IQfS AND COOKS Paperback special 25$ and up310W.

Miss Kimbrough, author of "It Gives Me Great Pleasure," "How Dear toMy Heart," "We Followed Our Hearts to Hollywood," and "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" (writtenin collaboration with Cornelia Otis Skinner), is well-known for her sparkling wit and genial satire.

As editor of Marshall Fields'"Fashions of the Hour," fashion editor and later managing editor of Ladies' Home Journal, MissKimbrough became known not only for her good humor but also for her unconventional habits suchas inspecting fashion sketches on the flopiV flat on her back with the ske|cli^ held at arm's length. ;;'S:'^::S" Mrs. Wrench, as she is khoyrn^--in private life, resigned her position with Ladies' Home Journalto become the mother of twin daughters, whom she named, with characteristic humor, A and B.Cornelia Otis Skinner, her lifelong friend, says "Emily is a living magnet for high adventure and maddisaster and from all her experiences emerges triumphant and more entertaining than ever. The thingsthat happen to her could never happen to anyone else.

Yet, it is a fact that we have made progress; that we continue to make progress; that prejudices between races and faiths are gradually being broken down; that humanitarian ideals are making inroadsin areas which previously were impregnable for lovers of freedom and justice. The United States, thebastion of democracy, is the best example of advancement. We are still not completely "endeared toeach other by nature." It would be too much to ask in an era during which one generation witnessed twoworld wars; in the course of another great struggle. But we already have less friction. Our schools areavailable to all, and in areas where they were closed to some because of race and religion they aregradually opening up more widely. College fraternities are surrendering discriminatory practices.Restrictions everywhere are being reduced. Prejudices are declining. There is no definite assurance,however, that bigotry will not raise its head again, that new barriers may not be erected'between various elements in our population. But the experiences of two decades, during which we have been observing Brotherhood week each year, give some promise that the, gains we have made can beperpetuatedâ€”and expanded. Brotherhood weekâ€”sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews from February 18 to 25â€”symbolizes the good we crave for in prayers, in dreams, in ourfondest hopes. The idealist's dream, but a very practical one. It has begun to work. By continuing tostand together, Jews and Christians, we can make it function effectively unto the end of days, so that the universe may, indeed, become in our own day "one great city." To be a Man, be a Wolf. . . From page one of the University of Washington Daily. The following parable was written by a member of theuniversity faculty. He requested that his name not be used. Not from fear, but rather that the accent fallupon the story and not on the writer.â€”Ed. To various persons who are so sure of their ownrighteousness in practicing the American Way that they pronounce themselves able to detect andqualified to destroy "TJn-Americanism" in others. ' To all such, greetings: Once upon a time acommunity living by a forest discovered wolves in the forest. And having learned to fear the rapaciousness of wolves and not being in control of their fear, they listened to certain craven councilors of thecommunity who said, "To fight wolves, let you, yourselves, become wolves." And they did. ^ Whereupon, they turned oh the councilors and those not yet wolves and destroyed them, paying no attention to theircries: "No! No! Not us, but the wolves in the forest you are to destroy. Then, incited by the taste of suchlocal blood, they turned on each other and destroyed themselves. Thus it happened that one day thewolves came out of the forest and were amazed there was nothing left for them to destroy, so theyforaged far and wide without let or hindrance. MORAL: In a world beset by wolves, and to prove yourselfa man, become a wolf. Thus you need no longer bear the heavy burden of being Man.

'Thirty housing units were obtained which were to be erected onthe Sehome school grounds. 10 YEARS AGO WWCollegian, February 16, 1940. A nation-wide studentopinion survey showed that at 81 per cent of the country's' college students were opposed to compulsorymilitary training. PERSONAL FREEDOM UNDER COMMUNISM Discipline Maintains One Party System In America it is every citizen's right and, privilege to disagree with and criticize the government and theparty in power. From this privilege we have the two-party system. Thomas Jefferson, leader of America'sfirst "loyal opposition" political party, said that "no government ought to be without censors . . . If virtuous, it need not fear the fair operation of attack and defense." *" In the Soviet Union, there is no place for any political party other than the Communist party. Opposition to party policies is equivalent to treason. Joseph Stalin has said that "the dictatorship of the proletariat can be complete only if it be led by asingle party, the Communist party, which does not and must not share leadership with any other party."MINORITY PARTY RULE This one-party system maintains itself by rigid discipline within the party. Farfrom being a people's party, the Russian Communist party has a membership consisting of only about 2per cent of the population. New and well-indoctrinated members are recruited from the various youthorganizations. They are carefully chosen, and must remain unswervingly loyal in order to remain inthe party. Periodically, embryo insurgents are eliminated. Official decisions are made within theframework of the party and are then adopted as national policy by party members acting in their capacity as government leaders. NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH Freedom of speech, one of the American's mostcherished rightsâ€” a right that is most carefully exploited by. communists in America â€”has no place in the Soviet Union. Most communists believe that they alone have seen the light of truth and that theymust suppress any propaganda which would tend to lead people away from that truth. The attitudetoward freedom of speech for dissidents is clearly expressed in an Izvestia article: "He who wouldattempt to preach the overthrow of the socialist system won by the toilers or. attempt to weaken thissystem will appear to the peoples of the Union as a criminal, having no right to enjoy the libertiesgranted by the constitution." Yet, those who would overthrow or weaken the American system take full advantage of the rights guaranteed them by the American constitution. (This is the third in a series ofobjective articles on modern communism. The fourth will deal with Communism and War.) No WindySpeakers At Talent Show The student assembly of Friday, February 9, featured two outstanding s p e a k e r s , Mort Gronseth and Harry Pagels. While these orators may not be remembered for theireloquence, posterity will surely note their brevity., Gronseth's monologue, concerned with the needof fighting men for blood, lasted four minutes, 32 seconds. This included time for an account of the co-recreational program held the evening before the assembly. Pagels proved to be less long-winded. Twominutes, 11 seconds after first addressing the student body that worthy was returning to his position as a student teacher. Slightly less than seven minutes after the assembly opened, the cheeringaudience filed from the auditorium. By EDDIE HICKENBOTTOM President, Associated Students Thetentative date for Central's appearance in the exchange assembly has been postponed until early nextquarter. Central has band and choir tours scheduled at the. time they were to | i l | | | l appear here and si n ce Ipmany members of their Stjshow are in band and If choir they have asked to It wait and comeover early in March. In the meantime our show is progressing slowly. I sincerely urge anyone with tal-j t | i l | e n t and anyone wishing to ^^fthelp out on the show to H| contact Ed Lapsley soon. . It wasreported to me Wednesday, that in order to have the lounge open for Sunday television there must be afaculty member present. If this faculty member is present strictly as a protective measure in case ofaccident it is desirable. However, if the faculty member is there for the purpose of chaperonage I think it is time that some- | one sits down and does a little serious thinking on this matter. It appears as though the faculty do not enjoy being chaperones and the students do not enjoy having them. It is mypersonal belief tha^ if people of college age (especially the married vets) aren't considered old enoughto meet in the lounge without a chaperon we need to evaluate our whole educational system. These may sound like harsh words to certain people but since one of the purposes of this column is to bringcontroversial issues out in the open then I will do so. Sometimes it is only through harsh statements thatprogressive improvements are attained. * As long as I am ASB president I will continue to bring thesecontroversial issues into the open, for what I believe to be a benefit to the student body. ANOTHERCOLLEGES LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler "This is the last time I can ask you, Fredaâ€”howabout going to the Junior Prom with me?" - Pig, Skunk, Campus Pets Exchange papers this week offerevidence that colleges are going to the animals, if not to the dogs. The Linfield Review deals at lengthwith a pet skunk owned by a Linfield do-ed. This skunk, whose name is George, lives a sheltered life inthe girls' kitchen. George earns his board by frightening off burglars and unwelcome suitors.Unfortunately for George he has been disarmed and can fire only blanks. This condition has resulted in afrustration, and George is badly in need of a psychiatrist who understands such matters. It is easy to see why George should acquire such a mania, for what could be more frustrated than a deodorized skunk?East Central college of Oklahoma reports a pig on their campus. Irene, for that is the pig's name, lives atthe home of a college couple. She has learned some etiquette and has' developed many uniquetechniques in the art of making friends and influencing people. Those who loVe pigs as pigs can onlyhope that Irene has fallen into the hands of vegetarians.1 Western Washington Collegian ; Since 1899 lt; ' Member i â€¢ Associated Ccfte de Press Member Northwest Intercollegiate Press ConferenceEntered as second-class matter at the post office at Bellinghan by virtue of the act of March 8, 1879. .Printed by Cox Brothers .

' By KEITH STEARNS Lack ofpreparations to receive Central Washington college's exchange assembly led Associated Studentspresident Ed Hickenbottom to tell Board of Control members at their Wednesday meeting that"We're not on the board just to get a pin but to work." "IH'mic kneontb owttoormrie dc oanbtoinuut edth, esasyhionwg., * â€” â€” â€” General chairman Ed Lapsley and director Park Dyer have been doing a good job." Hickenbottom explained that he was worried about the fact that no arrangements had beenmade for transportation, housing, finance, script, and stage equipment. Direct responsibility wasplaced on board members when Hickenbottom appointed them to handle physical details. RubyJohnson was placed in charge of tickets, and programs; Phil Ager, housing; Charles Odell, reception;newly elected board member, Paul Gillie, . publicity; Carol Irwin, meals and welcome; and Lex Milton,physical facilities. Hickenbottom told board members to call on any and all students for aid in thecommittee work. Lapsley, reporting on the progress of the exchange assembly, asked the boardmembers how much money was to be made available. Action of the production end of the as?- semblywas termed by Lapsley as moving along and production scheduled for the third week of spring charter. ICC CITED Interclub Council was requested by the board to exercise more care in electioncertifications. Board member Odell and faculty representative Dr. M. F. Cederstrom jointly sponsoreda motion that the "President of Associated Students respectfully request, in writing, that the ICC make a more careful check in the future before certifying candidates lor eligibility for elections." The motionpassed without dissent. CHAPERONES NEEDED Chaperones came up for much discussion whenHickenbottom told board members that Miss Mildred Tremain, secretary to the dean of women, hadinformed him that faculty chaperones would have to be present for Sunday lounge openings. Boardmembers felt this was unnecessary and Hickenbottom appointed a committee headed by LexMilton to investigate. Lounge facilities were granted the W club on February 20, and Faculty Wives forFebruary 28. Heavy Rams Cause Campus Damage Western felt the effects of the r e c e n t NorthwestWashington flood, Dr. W. W. Haggard reported this week. Surface water off Sehome hill found its way into the transformers through a Jeak in the steam line at the southeastern part of the campus. About12 inches of water were pumped out of the central heating system. The ground floors of the PE andArts buildings were covered with a small amount of water, but memberspf. the maintenance crewwere able to pump it out in a short time. Cost of the entire flood, damage to the college is estimatedat $400.00. Association Head To Visit Campus Dale Goss, president of the Pacific Arts association,will be on campus Tuesday, February 27, to discuss plans for the association's annual meeting. MissHazel Plympton urges everyone interested in art to be present to hear Goss. He will be in the artdepartment from 4 to 5 p. m.

Last week the Vikings competed against theUniversity of Washing rivals in swimming, the University of British Columbia, in a triangu-.. lar meet.here. The home team was then at full strength and nearly succeeded in upsetting UBC. However, this week one of Hyatt's mainstays, Dick Mealy, is suffering from an infected ear as a result of too muchwater. Mealy was the team's long distance man, competing in the 220 and 440 yard free style events.. It is doubtful that he will be able to participate in today's competition, and his absence will put anextra load on the rest of the team. Western and Eastern competed in the conference meet last year gt;and the Vikings were victorious. However, with Hyatt's team in a crippled condition as it is, theoutcome is unpredictable for tomorrow. Some of the changes in lineup will be as follows: Milt Clothier,who is a sprinter, will swim the 220 yard free style; Kenny German will be required to do the 100 and 200 yard breast stroke; and John Field, the diver, will be entered in several sprints, plus his diving. In regard to his team Hyatt said, "we'll miss Mealy a great deal because his absence puts a great load on therest of the team." Hyatt didn't know exactly what to expect from Eastern, but he believes that theirstrength is in their sprints, and it is there that he will try to match them.

UW Sweeps Past Evergreen TeamsHere Last Friday Viking swimmers played host last Friday afternoon in the college pool to the Universityof Washington and the University of British Columbia when they met in a triangular swimming meet.Western's team, consisting almost completely of new men, competed against the University ofWashington, which is rated fifth best in the nation. Despite the tough competition the Vikingmermen made an unexpectedly good showing in the opinion of their coach, Ray Hyatt. Mr. Hyatt said,"Although the score was unanimously in favor of Washington, I considered it an encouragingperformance. Many of Western's swimmers broke their pre-ious records which showS thatconsiderable progress is being made." HUSKIES LEAD SCORING The final scores of the day were:Washington, 78; UBC, 19%; and WWC, 13%. UBC and WWC are old rivals in the swimming business,and Mr. Hyatt observed, "We lost this meet, but the score is closer each time. I expect different resultson our next encounter." Th coach and his team were well pleased by the attendance. In regard to itHyatt commented, "The way in which the students turned out for this meet showed that they areinterested in the sport." He also thought that if each swimming meet were to attract that many people,new seating arrangements would be in order since, on Friday, all would-be spectators couldn't beaccommodated. Another old rival of Western, Eastern will compete against the swimmers todayin the college pool. The starting gun will begin things rolling at 3:30 p. m., unless otherwise posted.However, one of Hyatt's mainstays, Dick Mealy, a long distance man, will not be able to swimbecause of a bad ear contracted as a result of too much water. This is not permanent, and he isexpected to be swimming again by next week. SEE YOU at TOMMY'S CAFE 1307 Commercial *FINE FOOD Seoxcfatp ^fronts... By MORT GRONSETH Some people are beginning already t o getspring fever, and the sports field is also being afflicted. Baseball is in the air, with Washington Statecollege starting to roll this week. The Evergreen league is still up in the air, with money the big factor.Western's director of athletics, Charles Lappenbusch, said, "We'll have baseball if the rest of theEvergreen conference does. The finances here at Western are in order to carry a full spring program on alimited basis, as requested by the Board of Control oh their budget cuts." As* for our opinion, we mustkeep our major sports. The Evergreen conference is set up on the basis of four major sports: football,basketball, baseball, and track. Any team that wants to enter the conference has to compete in thesefour sports. This rule is keeping some schools out that don't want to play football, and in our opinion, itwould look bad for the conference to drop any,of their major sports this year. If there were some greatneed, or if a majority of the athletes were in the service, it would be understandable, but with a greatmajority of the boys still on the campuses of the colleges in the league, it would be folly to drop baseballthis year. That is the opinion of this corner. If you have any-views on the matter, drop, a line this way. * ' * * SEARCHING" TIDBITS:' Tonight will be the big game for the Viks.
