Show more1940_0628 ---------- WWCollegian - 1940 June 28 - Page 1 ---------- Mountain Hike Tomorrow Vancouver Bus Trip Also On Schedule Thirty-six To Make Trip Two paths to adventure and beauty await the choice of WWC recreation fans tomorrow. For those who seek beauty and pleasure in height, there will be a trek up Church mountain, and for those who enjoy shopping and sight-seeing, there will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. Emphasis is placed «n the bus trip to Vancouver because tomorrow is the last Saturday before the ruling goes into effect that a certificate of citizenship will be necessary to get back into the United States. Leaving the Bellingham bus depot at 8:30 a. m., the bus will arrive at the Vancouver station at 10:30. Suggested points of interest within walking distance, such as Chinatown, linen shops, and places to eat, will be provided. All sightseeing "buses in "Vancouver"''leave' from the depot. Because there will be room for only thirty-six people, students were urged to sign the bulletin board early this week. Cost is $1.50 for round trip. But for those who are planning to climb to Kulshan cabin over the Fourth of July, the Church mountain trek is a requirement. The trail starts slightly above Glacier and goes onward and upward along a quiet forest path, and through acres of colorful flowers in an alpine meadow until one sits on top of the world with Mount Baker almost in his lap, according to Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation director. The party will meet on the campus in front of Edens hall at 7:00 a. m. tomorrow morning. A trail lunch and a cup are required, plus stout walking shoes, sun glasses, and a light extra sweater. The deadline for signatures on the bulletin board is 2:00 o'clock this afternoon. Cost of the trip is 75 cents.

A worthwhile effort of President Haggard has been realized in bringing this meeting to WWC. We suggest you make this effort worth your while by attending as many of the sessions as possible. It will be your best chance to get acquainted with the prominent educators of the Northwest. • AS A RESULT OF LEGISLATION recently passed, teachers planning to teach in this state in the fall are required to take a Mantoux test for tuberculosis. This action has been praiseworthy and somewhot startling in its outcome. Mantoux tests should not only be limited to teachers in the field but required of students before they enter the training school. Unfortunate, indeed, it would be for a student who had successfully passed four years of college life in preparation for a teaching profession, only to find that he was a carrier of active tuberculosis germs. , Of course, treatment can be had, but it would be much better to find out this information at an earlier time during one's college career. To gather this knowledge at a time when one is about to embark upon a professional career is rather a severe blow. • AFTER A WEEK OF APPREHENSION as to whether the Collegian made itself'clear on its new policy of a more professional basis, we again extend our invitation to teachers and students to write for us about their problems and philosophies. What teaching problems did you solve during the last year? What ones didnt you solve and would like help on? Did you read any good books on teacher aids? What were some of the interesting things about your curriculum? Did your financial set-up hinder your teaching of progressive education? How did you find teacher and public relations in your community? Have you any suggestions to pass along to new teacfiers entering the field? Tell us about them, won't you? • MAY WE ADD OUR CONGRATULATIONS to those already received by the Bellingham Herald for their last Sunday's edition emblematic of "Fifty Years of Progress.' It is a noteworthy achievement showing the forward movement of the cities of Northwest Washington during the last half century. Also outstanding was the history of Western Washington college, written by Eric Phillips, a Collegian staff writer during the last year. • AFTER A YEAR OF CAMPAIGNING back in 1937 to have the sign opposite the College Inn changed from Normal Drive to College Drive, we find, now three years later, that the city fathers have agreed to compromise with the Collegian. The sign now reads: Sehome Hill—Park! 'OurTown' Rocks New York Two seasons ago New York theater audiences went to jsee a show without scenery or properties and kept that show going for a year on Broadway. That production was "Our Town,' which is to be presented by the WWC division of drama for its summer quarter offering, July 11 and 12. In a city of theaters famed for elaborate production standards, this was an unusual event. The thing that held them was the simplicity and beauty of the story itself. Two young people talked to each other from their windows across the alley while the village choir rehearsed down the street and Dr. Gibbs, father of George, read the evening paper downstairs. Three different scenes at the same time would have been practically impos- AMtMCAN / / sible on a stage realistically set with real scenery and furnishings. This novel effect was achieved by having George and Emily on top of step-ladders with Dr. Gibbs at a table to the right of the stage and the choir in the orchestra pit. A daring, expressionistic departure from realism is shown in the third act when Emily, departing from this life in an untimely way, is laid to rest with her family. In the cemetery the dead of the little village sit passively and serenely in rows of chairs while the funeral procession wends its way into the cemetery. There is no attempt at tombstones or weeping willows, yet the audience feels the austerity and simplicity of death and life in rural America of 1904. Technique Classes Learn About Modern Curricula By Lela 'Kaufman Two groups of persons with teaching experience, the T. T. 192 class in curriculum construction in the elementary school and, T. T. 173 class in curriculum construction In the junior high school are working to learn some of the "whys" and hows" of modern curricula. The elementary group of 24 members with Miss Marjorie Dawson formulated certain definite understandings they hoped to attain, then divided into ..committees to work upon these topics. With a few thought - provoking questions raised by Miss Dawson, the class carries on enthusiastic discussion for part of the two-hour daily period. The remaining time is devoted to research work to see what is being done elsewhere. Nine members comprise the junior high group who meet with Miss Elsie Wendllng in her office. Individual conferences, group discussions, reading, studying, and writing fill the two-hour period. Immediate access is thus secured to a large selection of books containing needed material. Each person works with his own particular problem and situation in mind. In both groups a brief historical background is furnished along with considerable study of modern curricula through the United States, such as the Winnetka movement. Some of the educators' catchwords —activity movement, progressive education, integration — are being invested with meaning. Emphasis is placed upon fitting the school to the child rather than the reverse. In short, the aim of both of these advanced classes is not to make a curriculum for some definite setting but to give a clearer idea of all curricular construction. HAGGARD SPEAKS TO SEDRO ROTARIANS With Dr. W. W. Haggard as their main speaker, .the Sedro-Woolley Rotarians entertained with an informal "ladies night" dinner in the city hall last night. Incoming Rotary club presidents and their wives from* Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Oak Harbor and Everett were present. l Newscasters Picked For Summer The Collegian radio studio was the scene of Intense activity last Thursday as some twenty-three students tried their hand at radio announcing. Students read script for over an hour in room 311 while Instructor Victor H. Hoppe and graduate student Leonard Newquist judged in the control room. The winners: Russell Jackson, Francelia Smith, Art Clark, and Shirlee Cratsenberg. Alternates chosen were Jackie Hillis arid Beverly Walker. Victors took the air Thursday evening for the first newscast of the summer season. The permanent rewrite staff was also announced this week. Members are: Irene fyhn, Reda Eaton, Delayne Walton, Shirlee Cratsenberg, Betty Solibakke, Francelia Smith, and Wayne Kotula. The rewrite staff takes the stories off the galleys of the Collegian early Thursday morning and threshes them into shape for the rehearsal at 4:00 o'clock that afternoon. Broadcasts are under the direction of Leonard Newquist and Bill Tiffany, with Dr. Jack Cotton of the speech department and Mrs. Ruth Burnet as faculty advisers. WHITHER TOMORROW By Lorain Montgomery The quotation, "As a man thinketh so is he," is very old. Yet it is one that is still good and usable. If we .want to change a man we begin by working on his thought processes, because that is the thing that precedes the act of a man. That is the foundation for the truth of the quotation. Have you ever heard of any one doing something without thinking? I have. But that is because the thought processes for that particular act were built long, long ago. And did you ever try to change an act that is done without thinking? Where did you begin? You do not go about it in a superficial manner; you go back to the foundation where the act has its roots in the being—to the thought processes. We attempt to discover the original cause of an undesirable thoughtless actact habit, and sometimes we discover a cause that is completely alien to the act itself. The cause may be some unsatisfied desire that finds satisfaction through unusual channels. By satisfying the cause we may in time be able to substitute a desirable for an undesirable act and the habit is said to be broken. Frequently a habit remains long after the original cause has ceased to exist. •• The easiest time to work with a habit is when it is the shortest distance removed from its cause. That is usually in childhood when the thought processes are being built in when the character of the individual is being formed. When then is the most important period of a man's life? It is clear that the thoughts of the past exert an influence on the thought processes of the future. The child is truly "father of the man" and childhood is the most important period. Those who govern and direct this period of growth are "shaping the course of the future man." Consequently, the thoughts of tomorrow's world will be largely determined by the teacher of today, Merrill Likes Children By Lela Kaufman With cheeping Bantie chicks as a background, Miss Anne F. Merrill, kindergarten instructor for the summer, • talked enthusiastically about her avocation. "I'm afraid it's terribly trite to say that my hobby is children, but that's what it is," the blue-eyed quiet-voiced young woman said. "I like to ride horseback. Before I became so busy, that was a hobby but it is nearly impossible to ride in a large city," she stated. Every summer this westem-bred instructor—she is a native of Salt Lake City and a graduate of Stanford—forsakes Pittsburgh where she teaches in the Falk demonstration school to drive to the Pacific coast. "I have driven over most of California, and I love to come up here in the Pacific Northwest,' she declared. "I always spend my summers with my mother. Now we are staying in Dr. Spearin's house which has a lovely view and rose garden." She has vacationed two'years in Seattle and two enjoyable summers in Victoria, which she considers the ideal vacation spot.

That's just what happened last Monday night when a group of our recreationalists were about to spend an evening of singing, salmon, and sunset at The Rocks, a popular campfire site near South Bel-lihgh'am. The aforementioned Mr. S. Lion seems to have lost all sense of direction and planted himself on the sand. What we're getting at is . . . frankly, comrades, the stench was awful. . . . But that didn't stop proceedings . . . no, siree!! Dr. Bond picked up his salmon, seaweed and all and carted it out to the college property at Lakewood where everyone feasted and sniffed sweet sniffs once more. • . Any of you who can spare a few minutes of your time would find it well worth your while to drop in at the recreational headquarters in the Dean of Mens office and chat with genial Chet Ullin. Chet is assisting Miss Weythman with the college recreational activities this summer^ Many of you probably already know of him as a good skier, song leader, and former Viking football luminary, but the accomplishment upon which he prides himself the most is that of being a guide. Chet has not only led numerous hiking parties up Mt. Baker, but also is well acquainted with the trails of the Olympic peninsula. His tales are filled with exciting adventure and what's more they're true . . . I hope. He is a walking Chamber of Commerce for our great Northwest and We should be proud to say that "he is one of us." Hither, thither, and yon . . . We understand through the grapevine that Russ Eyer is planning to come back to school one of these years and win back his pole vault crown. . . . That's swell,- Russ . . . and if there are any more cindersmiths around like you bring 'em around because we can SURE use ' e m . . . . Russ also is co-holder of the conference broad jump record. . . . They say that Captain Mike Baker has the edge in the coming Intramural race with such softball experts as Hurley Boggess, Joe Moses, and Bob Smith in his lineup. . . . We look for Rodland's outfit to be right up there. . . . He's got Steve Turk, Clint McBeath, and Chuck Erickson.. . . Highlight of next week's sports program is the annual softball game with the U. of W. . . . The game is to be played in Seattle, Monday afternoon. . . . The Huskies come here for a return game later on. . . . Joe Medwick or no Joe Medwick, we'll string along with Lippy Leo's Brooklyn Dodgers. . . . They seem to have revived the lost art of "the old college try" . . . Don't say we didn't tell you. . . . So long . . . '' Mountaineers Enjoy Chuckanut Climb With Chet Ullin and Miss Lillian George setting the pace, approximately 106 avid mountaineers from WWC reached the top of Chuckanut ridge last Saturday. Leaving at 3:15 from the PE building, the party was at the top by 6:00 p. m., where they built a fire, prepared coffee, and ate their lunches, For dessert, they had a beautiful sunset, almost made to order, according to those who saw it. One group departed shortly after lunch, led down by Miss George. After sundown, the campfire was heaped high and set ablaze, and over ninety voices, led by Chet Ullin, were joined in singing new songs and having fun in general. Feature of the evening was the vocal efforts of three dogs, Patsy, Dinny, and Penny, inspired by Ullin's attempt to get an echo. Descent down the mountain was made by flashlight... and buglight, with a few brave souls sitting down and sliding on the steepest parts of the trail. Many photographs were taken—Mount Baker was especially clear—and the echo seems to be that the hike was a rousing success.

That both basketball and baseball will be played this summer in intramural sports was the decision made at a meeting of the sports enthusiasts of the college last Monday in the PE building. "* Softball games will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30 p. m. and basketball will be played on Mondays and Wednesdays at the same time. Doublehead-ers will be r un in both sports. Golf enthusiasts who have already entered their names as likely prospects for this summer's golf team are Clint McBeath, Bob Smith, Hardy, Tucker, and Erickson. The latter three were members of this year's WINKO champs. Anyone else interested in playing should see Sam Carver as soon as possible. Teams entered in basketball are Jim Bever's Midgets, Lapinski's Joe- Joes, Methany's Red Heads, Smith's GiantSy and Joe Moses' Moochers. Teams entered in softball are Mike Baker's Arabians, Rodland's Eskimos, Nurmi's Finns, and Weber's Turks. These teams are not . final and anyone wishing to play may see one of the captains and add his name to that team. WWC SOFTBALLERS MEET UNIVERSITY MONDAY Ancient summer rivals will square it off again, when a picked all-star WWC softball team meets the University of Washington Monday afternoon at Seattle. A return game will be held on t he home lot Friday, July 12. The WWC team will be picked from men signed for intramural games. Eleven men are expected to make the trip. No basketball schedule between the two schools has been arranged as yet. The court contests will probably be played during the second term. Enjoy the Summer.

Three things will be featured during the trip—good food, interesting short trips from Kulshan cabin, and t h e summit t r ip lead by C. Appleton (Happy) Fisher. Highlighting the trek will be the excellent photographic opportunities, and t h e acres of alpine flowers now a t the height of their beauty. Summer skis will be taken by some students, for three days of fine skiing. Wednesday, July 3, t h e work crew will hike in to the cabin to cut wood and prepare the place for the group. Thursday, July 4, the main party will leave the P. E. building at 7:00 a. m. in private cars, individuals bringing their own trail lunch for that day. They will reach the cabin Thursday evening. A pack train, led by Mr. Baker, an experienced packer from Colorado, will bring in food and personal dunnage. Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation leader, counsels hikers to limit their amount of dunnage, since each person will have to carry his own dunnage out. There are blankets and accomodations for fifty people at the cabin. Fisher Guides : The party will climb up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, under Fisher's guidance, which will give them practice in snow work in .both climbing up and sliding down, and will give Fisher an opportunity to study snow conditions on the mountain. Saturday morning, those making the summit climb will- breakfast early and leave the cabin by daylight, led by Fisher and assisted by Chet Ullin. Organized hikes to the glacier or through the meadows will be taken by those remaining at the cabin. A whopping breakfast will be served Sunday morning, with the whole party leaving the cabin about 11:00; for the return trip home. Haggard Signs First person to make an enthusiastic reservation for this trip was Dr. W. W. Haggard, who signed up gt; with Miss Weythman last May. Other faculty members who will be present include Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Miss Ruth Melendy, Miss Virginia Hawke, Herbert Ruckmick, Lyle Brewer, and Miss Weythman. Cost of t h e t r ip is $5.00. People who enjoy the colorful out-of-doors in its highest beauty, campfire companionship, and good hiking are urged to' sign up.

Because he is an accelerated student, Gaywill hold junior status at the end of fall quarter.

Board Has Problem: To Cut Budget Despite High Prices Budget slashing is the current problem of variousdepartments of Western Washington College. Most departments are requesting more money'•• for gt; the gt; 1953-54 school year as compared to 1952. The reason lies in the higher cost of living andthe, rise of prices. Original budget requests submitted to Mark Hardie, ASB president, have alreadybeen cut by the respective departments. However, more cutting is on the agenda. Members of thebudget committee and the! Board of Control met last night to study the tentative budget plan. The Boardof Control will meet to work on the budget at 4 p. m. next Thursday. Hardie said, "It is hoped the-Department of Directors will approve the budget when work on it is complete. We plan to have it ready by the end of spring quarter."

This has been due, chiefly, to the discovery by certaincongressional committees, that a few educators were proyen, or suspected to be, subversive now, orsubversive gt;t one time This has caused near panic on some, campuses in the. country. A case iseven oh record of one educator refusing an invitation of an organization which has been designated by thegovernment as definitely not subversive. r This could be construed as an indictment against education.That it is subversive? No! That it might be losing its intestinal fortitude! Since ancient Greece, educatorshave stood up f lt;fr what they believed. Socrates drank poison rather than recant his beliefs. We do notsay that it is good to have educatprs who might undermine our democratic system We do say, however,the students of Western Washington cpllege, many of whom will be educators, should resolve that fear will not intimidate us. The cradle of democracy and the custodian of free thought and speech in manycountries were the colleges and universities. In the middle ages educators had no guarantee that theycould say what they wished with impunity. By the panic evidenced of late this seems to be what someeducators believe should be the case.' ";' }. ;. But today, it is not his right, it is; not his privilege, it is theeducator's duty to give his views; to say what he thinks is right. In this way will he be serving his countrybest. Education must5 be dynamic. To be static is to retrogress. If educators hYde their candle ofthought under a basket, afraid someone might see a "color" in it, a great deal will be lost, for, aseducation progresses, so will the country.'..-, \ Today's college students are tomorrow's leaders" is acommon thought. But if these students are instructed by persons who are afraid~to lead, afraid to voice their convictions, what will their quality of leadership be?—D.

Well, there was no use .thinking about it then ^-we were on our way to Whatcom Falls park. •The Skit assembly wasn't sched-iried 'til at least after the sun had come up, but Homer said it would bebetter if we went straight to the park before everyone^ got there. So Spies skipped ' t b0 assembly to;get: out to. JheApa*k,Jfcef lt;jre reyerypne , else. (But I LDiErtne park when people are there.) , - .,:cArriving.- at, t h e ^ a r k we .found it absolutely .deserted, arid. ,, stayed -that \vay.,,for;ise;yera^;hqurssi Finally our friends began ...to .arrive. Coming in,,convertibles, Model. T's, and , onbicycles, they swarmed into the park. Sam and Al wer^ straggling 'wayv behind .the. rest, because jtheyhad decided, to ;W;alk L . ..; :- ^ The morning slipped by andT it was soon, time for lunch. Lunch—everyone was famished! Like a swarm; of locusts t h e y devoured everything in sight. ' After lunch thegames began, starting naturally with the pie eating contest. "Uncle Harry" made his first appearancesince the day he broke his leg at the Homecoming game, and ate more pies than the entire' faculty.During the faculty-student tug-of^- war, Al and Sam finally arrived on the scene. Every one was soexcited to see them that the tug-of - war was completely forgotten. The crowd cheered the two fellowswho came straggling in. I was cheering especially because both played on our baseball team. At lastthe game started. Roger was first at bat. With power like that we easily won the game. Homer said that I was playing very well, but somebody hit the ball to me and things got all fouled up. It WAS unfair ofGeorge to hit it to me— he KNOWS I can't catch. Ah! Campus day ended happily. The students andfaculty hopped into their cars, trucks, wheelbarrows and other means of transportation, and headedfor home. Sam and Al trudged wearily along Lake-way, and Homer and I pushed the eld buggy down thehill, got it started, and chugged noisily back, to Western. • WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN f ' H t '' gt;,.*". i[J {" i ?d ' ^ '*) " "Since 1899 Member Intercollegiate Press Entered assecond class matter at the post office at Bellingham by virtue of the act of Match 8, 1879. :": Printed; byCox Brothers,.

Cub Reporters: WinPearson, Marion Baldwin, Warren Coffelt. To the Editor: It has been manifested in the not distant past,that there is a weakness, m our government here at Western. The election, fiasco of last quarter isstill fresh in our minds and there are minor violations which go unheede'd by the student body in general. I have run across several of these. It is more than a possibility that myriads of them have gone pastwithout detection. The question that comes to the forefront is—"Why?". It is a dynamic questionwhich demands a positive answer and not merely some "explaining away." Is it due to the ineptitude ofour elected representatives— the Board of Control, the president, the vice president? It is my beliefthat we can contribute some of the guilt to' these representatives. They, are not impeccable. ButTfurther assert-that there is a greater weakness, than mere ineptitude on the part of these officers. Thoseof you familiar with government can see it clearly. We aspire to democratic govern^ ment, yet in ourgovernmental .organization here at Western we have branches of government equivalent to our national legislative and executive branches, but where is that third branch so essential to the balance of power and the continual function of a democratic government —the judicial branch? We have no such branch, yet the need is a crying need. A manifest need. The past is not a dead past and will not bury itself. Itwill project itself into the future. To obliterate the occurence of last quarter, and the many unheededviolations, I propose that we take into our hands the tools of state and build that branch we lackhere—the judicial branch. For the sake of a continual functioning democratic government, therequired balance of power, and emulation of the state in which we live, serve, and are, I beseech you to join in a crusade for that missing wheel of government—the judicial branch. Sincerely, GEORGE H.COLE. Perhaps the answer lies in the in-maturity of people who make that assumption. Sincerely,JEAN LANDAHL.

AWSDefer Picnic It was announced today that the AWS commission picnic which was originally scheduledfor Monday, May 18, has been postponed and no definite date has been set for the picnic. ! ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1953 May 15 - Page 4 ---------- 9 torn By ROGER GROVDAHL Last week on one of the sunshiny days, many students were out tryingout the new game of wisket. This new game was being demonstrated for the first time on- Western'scampus. The game originated in Seattle and several leagues are springing up for wisket players. It isplayed with a baseball and bat but there, the': similarity to the original diamond game ends. Instead ofgloves the fields; use long tennis-like contraptions or wiskets as they are called. The rules are totallydifferent also. The defensive team makes all the points. The whole team, 10 men, bat around and thedefensive-team scores points. A point is obtained when a base is touched 4n gt; front of the runner. Thegame is 'an entirely new idea originating in Seattle. Many main colleges are incorporati n g ^ ;mtheirtPE curriculum: ~~ * . . . - . . « - . . * • • During, winter quarter there was an gt;all-^tarintramural vs. the Jayvee basketball game.vand-the game aroused much interest and comment.

Some, arrangements, may- be reached by having threeinnings :of-fastball played and„ then three innings of baseball, or a coin could be fUpped to-see,what type-of game would be played.

With, the season record justmediocre at best, WWC will be out.to -r-——— — ————{-take some games to better the searson record. College of Puget Sound; aoes not have a very strong, team, this-year, although it is not apush over. It has played some good ball this season. In the previous meeting with CPS Western tookone close one and dropped another. Western's Vikings should pick up another win tomorrow when theytake on the UW. The University is weak this year, being near the bottom of the standing in its league.It has been beaten several times by teams that Western has beaten. In previous meetings this year,Western has nearly an even record with the Huskies. These two straight games will put a strain on Vik pitchers. It is probable that all chuckers will get a chance. Big Bob Hansen is ready to go again afterthe sore arm he picked up in a game a couple of weeks ago. Next Monday the hot flyers from Larson Air Force base, Moses Lake, invade the Vik's domain for two games. The boys from Larson always putout a good ball team which can give any college team a fight; After Western gets by the busy weekendschedule, it will settle down to a slower pace for the rest of the season. Western Drops Track MeeF To Savages Western Washington dropped its first important track meet to the Eastern WashingtonSavages last Saturday. The meet was held at Cheney on the EWC campus. The Savages racked up84% points to Western's 46% points. Big gun in the attack of EWC was Ron Chadwick who won a totalof five events in the meet. These events were the high jump, broad jump, javelin throw and both thehurdles. Western was a little off and.the main point getters were meeting very stiff competition. The winfor Eastern was its 33rd successive dual meet win. Ken Swalwell, Modris Pederson, and miler JerrySwan picked up a lot of Western's 46% points.

'Straight Line: r HilsRuliinct Although football seems to be far away, on the. little campus,of WWC, many of theJarger-colleges are now concerned with-spring lootball practice. An. extra worry: to -the -coaches now '-. is .the new- substitution rule. This rule makesit quite impossible to use the two platoon system. Viking.,football coach/ Chuck Lappenbusch, was asked- tov comment on. the new rule: and- how it wouldaffect small. colleges,, mainly Western. First he stated.that the small colleges with no springpractices will be handicapped by this new rule, making it necessary for players to *playi both* offenseand defense* He went on gt; to ^ say that underthe modern educational pbil*-* osophy players will have to learn all the offensive parts. This may require longer training tables f or longer -periods -of time.However,- Lappenbusch went on to say,. • small .colleges using t he Straight- Line defense philosophy will not be .bothered, by the. knowK edge factor and the physical condition must be drilled onpreviously by the- player on his own. Since knowledge and intelligence does not play the sameimportant'part as it did formerly;-the Straight Line teams will be.ready in a week-providingthephysicali«ondition^ isex-. cellent. Physical condition is not and win not be excellent which will slowdown the game under the new rales; According to Lappy, physical endurance in U.S. society isretrogressing because of the automobiles, the preservatives in, onr foods, ,aad«th,e psychology, ofthe "easy-way-to-win" attitude. "If we are to continue to be the strongest of nations we must-work onimproving the whole human being in our schools andaiot just knowledge, and. intelligence which are now retarded' by circular^ confusion,'' he said. So here we have the views of a very authoritative person,Western's own athletic director, on.the effects and: results of the. new substitution rule. Out of all this itseems that Western -will not^be?bothered lt; lt;as much as some other small schools who do-not usethe Straight Line philosophy. | This week a boy with a very interesting background- was interviewed as sports personality. Modris (Pete) Peterson, Western's star track man; graduated from a Latvian highschool in Europe.. There was no track, at his high school so he ran for the local YMCA team. Therewere a junior and senior team and Pete took' several awards in the junior division. In the junior division he holds the hop, skip, and jump record, high hurdles record, and the 12 pound shot put record. Forwinning the high hurdles he was given an award which he holds aa one of his most prized possessions.He holds three unofficial Latvian records, 220 low hurdles, 220 high hurdles, and the 440 hurdles. Lastfall in Seattle he won a • cup In -the big northwest meet held therewith so many incidents in his life, Modris had a tough time pieking lt;the: top thrill • of his- life.: He finally, picked the time when hewon the low^hurdles in the Evergreen conference in 1951. Another of his big lt;- gest thrills came lastweek as Western broke the relay record for the school and won t h e cup.^ Western track will verydecidedly miss good natured Pete when he is graduated. He has been a mainstay on Western's trackand field team for several years. He has won three letters and already has enough points for his big "W"blanket. During his years in track Modris has run the low hurdles; 440 hurdles, 100'yard dash; 220 yarddash, 440 yard dash; broad jump, "and thrown the discus and. shot gt;put. His versatility in sportsshows he is a natural athlete. In his years here he has lost the 440 only twice and the low hurdles nnlythree times. This trait seems to run in the family.

Durkin, Secretary of Labor for the U. S., has reached Western outlining • ;varlous jobopportunities for graduating college students. Twelve fields were outlined which need new persons,and which would need college graduates during most of the 195CS. - Secretary Durkin said that there-is a significant shortage of engineers, while the number of engineering graduates has b e e n becomingsmaller. The natural sciences, chemistry, physics, and " the earth sciences, geology, geophysics,meteorology, oceanography, have also jumped sharply in demand for not only experienced people, but also college graduates with just a BA. In describing teaching, Durkin VISION COMFORT DR.INGWERSEN and DR. RITCHIE 207Jfr E. Holly / said that the "demand for elementary schoolteachers is greater for 1953-54 than for 1952-53," while "at the high school level the supply of newlytrained teachers has dropped significantly each year since 1950." The secretary said also that theaverage salary over the United States for all classroom teachers was $3,400. The other fields SecretaryDurkin described as having many openings were as follows: federal civil service, health' professions,business and law^ banking, accounting, and social work.

It was stated that the second chance came after the card.playing had been removed a few months ago when the gameswere being used for' other than recreational purposes. Editor and business manager for the WWCollegian in 1953-54 were elected at the Board meeting. Dave* Gay and Mildred Seelye, respective' ly, were those so designated. (See story page one.) Since no candidates were eligible in the strict sense of theStyle book, the Board moved to waive the requirements in this case so that the positions could be filledfor next year. The letter to the editor appearing in last week's Collegian about book conditions in theStudents' Coop was given heated consideration. A committee composed of Bob Porter, CarolynCrook, Dick Stewart, Howard Critchfield, and one other Student Facilities committee member wasappointed to form policies concerning the ordering and buying back of books. The Board passed amotion to the effect that all Co-op and Lounge personnel who handled food were to be required to take aphysical examination in accordance with the State Board of Health regulations. .The expense forstudents involved will be borne by the Student Lounge fund. A note from Louis Earle, Lounge and Co-opmanager, was read thanking the Board for the ceramic ash try sent to him while he was ill. A requestwas received through the Music department to loan the white dinner jackets for a wedding. The Boardstated that it was not its policy to loan student property for private use. An additional $10 was added tothe $45 appropriated to the Evergreen conference trip to cover expenses, to come from theAdministration budget. It was found that the original $45 did not cover the entire costs. Coach ChuckLappenbusch requested that the Board give him the okay to try to get Willamette UniversitySeptember 26, 1953, for a football game with Western here. He stated that arrangements with UBC andothers would have to be made, but the Board approved the basic plan. Since the regular Board meetingwas scheduled for the afternoon of Campus day, the Board moved to postpone the meeting untilThursday at 4 p. m. Board members were also urged to attend the Budget meeting last night.EarlCompletes Naval School George S. Earl, Seattle, graduated from U. S. Naval school (OCS)Newport, Rhode Island, April 20.

We lay in clouded mood And sang of lofty trees without tops That upheld the edges ofthe sky. As the ponderous notes clamored forth We thumped our feet, and "They remind me of goats,",he said. The notes came bleating forth together As they scattered dotting white over the hill. "Mightygoats they are, pushing stones With their heads, pushing stones and, "^ Rolling mountains to, theedges of the world." We lay in silence and listened to the peaks Crashing in dark stillness. FacultyKeeps Contact Of First-year Tutors An effort on the.part of the faculty of Western Washington College to keep effective contact with all first year teachers is proving successful. The program started with theestablishment of the General Certificate pian in 1951-52. The visitation program became fully establishedin 1952- 53 when essentially all graduates began their teaching with the Provisional General Certificate. 4»-—-—— The visits made to t h e graduates of Western Washington college during fall andspring of. 1953 by faculty members had the following purposes: (1) To make possible a first-handstudy of the effectiveness of the teacher education program as reflected in the work of WWC graduates.(2) To stimulate graduates to make a study of their work during this year with, an eye to improvement. (3) To assist the provisional cer-: tificate people in effective planning of their fifth year of college workwhich needs to fee started, as a basis for renewal "of:vtheir provisional certificate. . lt;4) To maintain acontinuing rapport with graduates and assure them of Western's interest in their success and thedesire to be helpful when needed. (5) To maintain a continuing contact" with public schooladministrators and teachers and to assure them of the institution's interest in the success of publiceducation in the state.of Washington. Forty-five faculty members visited a total of 16(5. beginningteachers. However, a total of 476 persons were seen on the twenty-four trips made to sixteen counties.First year teachers are working in school buildings that run the gamut of possible conditions, according to a report just issued. Some are teaching in practically ideal situations, some in buildings that aredescribed as ordinary and average, and some are in buildings considered to be fire traps, barren, smelly, dirty and crowded. More places have inadequate materials than adequate housing. Most availableinstructional supplies are those classified as audio-visual aids. Least available are art materials, textbooks, music, and maps. The enrollment per room ranges from 18 to 52. Some kindergarten teachershave three shifts and as many as 83 children. At least 25 of the WWC teachers have split rooms orcombination grades. The management of children, how to handle delinquent children, and how to keepchildren quiet, were frequently mentioned by beginning teachers from first grade through junior highschool and in both rural and city schools. The use of the Parent-Teacher conference as a means ofreporting to parents was mentioned most often, but requests for help on the whole matter of parent-teacher relationships were listed. Cooperative principals and teachers were named by teachers asthe SHIRTS IN AT 9 OUT AT 4 Complete Laundry and Cleaning Service 205 Prospect Street Phone 66 or 67 chief source of their in-service assistance.

- Description
- I knew that when I decided to study abroad in Portugal that a trip to the Azores would be obligatory, as my great-grandparents left these islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean nearly a century ago. I was hit hard by emotions as I stepped off the plane. I was where my ancestors had lived, where they had laughed, where they had loved. I was walking in the same fields they had played in and were buried in. A place that should have seemed unfamiliar was the opposite of that; I was home.

The old business of covering the tables in the student lounge was discussed and Kathleen Brodahl and Allan Thon were appointed to see thath this work was done. The applications for the position of secretary to the board were read. Mary Ellen Francis and Louise Holbrook were the only applicants to see thath this work was done. The applicants for the posistion of secretary to the board were read. Mary Ellen Francis and Louise Holbrooke were the only applicant and Miss Holdbrook was elected. Dale Ackley and Bob Searl were the only applicats for the position of lounge manager and since the boys wanted to work on a partnership basis, they were elected. A motion was made and seconded that substitutions be made to fill the positions of four quarter woman and three quarter man until the election, November 14. Beverly was voted unanimously to replace Pat Gardiner as four quarter woman, and Al Thon to replace Dale Burkland as four quarter man or woman.

Show more1976_0113 ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 1 ---------- State budget cuts may force tuition hike by DUFF WILSON OLYMPIA — Gov. Dan Evans will supporthigher tuition and increased financial aid for college students, he told student body presidents Friday.His proposed increase would raise Western's tuition rate to $188 a quarter. Evans also reaffirmed hissupport for" students on Boards of Trustees and WashPIRG, and discussed faculty salaries andcollective bargaining, according to Stephen Barrett, Western^ Associated Students president. TheGovernor had a "positive attitude" toward students, but noted severe state budget-making problemswould be the top priority of the legislative session that began Monday, said Kevin Ryan, chairman ofCentral Washington State College's Student Board of Control. Tuition will probably rise 32 per cent overthe 1971-72 rate, according to state analysts (see sidebar). About $16 million would be generated bythe proposed increased tuitions, Evans said at the three hour luncheon. About $3 million of this could be used to increase student financial aid. The rest would be needed to pay for salary, utility and postageincreases and other costs. Faculty salaries should be raised, Evans told the student presidents, butthe money may not be available for more than a five per cent increase. "The consequences of no wageincreases could disrupt campuses very much," Barrett noted. Faculty collective bargaining may be amajor issue this session, with hearings already being held. Evans said he does not personally supportfaculty collective bargaining, but it may be inevitable. Students should have the right to participate,Evans added, if collect-jive bargaining becomes a reality at their schools. Student Trustees are also fully supported by the governor, according to Barrett. Last session, Evans appointed a 28-year-oldWenatchee Valley College student to Central's Trustees. The State Senate refused to vote for oragainst confirmation, and the student is now speaking and voting actively on Central's governing body,Ryan said. Barrett said Evans "seemed appalled" when he learned that Western Trustees do not havean automatic , agenda item for student representatives, as Eastern and Central Trustees do. Toreaffirm his support of WashPIRG the Governor promised to write the Trustees at Western and theRegents at the two universities where it is being most actively considered. Barrett and other studentpresidents are currently organizing information and lobbying efforts for the session, expected to last30 to 60 days. Cooperative neighbors aid Lummi flood victims by GARY ABRAMAVITCH BERTRAM Itwas still pitch black in the cold, wet streets of Marietta Village when I was forced to leap from acomfortable dream to our front porch in time to stop our three dogs from tearing a leg off somescreaming, fist-pounding neighbor. "Hurry you guys," the voice warned. "The river's flooding, and yourtrailer's floating away. You've only got a few minutes to save what you can." "My God!" I thought. "I've gotphoto negs stashed in nearly every drawer in the house." After falling out of bed, I tried to rescue thenegatives before even remembering to call off the dogs, but my *ol lady got to the door in time. "Gadzukes, the water is already within a few feet of our porch. . ." . I'd been told that a super-high tide wasdue, but there was no way the Nooksack River was gonna rise enough to flood over that eight-foot dike— or so I thought until I sloshed my way across the street. The water must have already been comingover the main branch of the Nooksack. The Lummi families who live in the fishing village must have a footof water inside their homes by now. Since the water wasn't quite over our top doorstep yet, I wanted torescue what I could from our trailer. I knew it wasn't floating away, but it is in a bad place. My littlecockapoo who was dog-paddling behind me seemed to be enjoying the filthy new lake. I noticed thatmost of the neighbors had tied their smallest boat to the front porch, but all we'ye got is an old canvaskayak. Afterwards, I got my old kayak out of a nearby shack and tried paddling it home with my dogbalancing on the stern. Unfortunately it sank twice before getting there. I'd apparently forgotten tofiberglass a few punctures.^ ended up just stashing it inside my step van. O.K., so we'll swim out of hereif we have to. After we lifted the last of our house furniture onto blocks I grabbed a couple of cameras andwent wading up the street. Marilyn tried driving our car to the hill behind Marietta, next to the elementaryschool, so we'd have brakes when we headed to town. Water was crossing the intersection of MarineDrive and Rural Avenue, and was beginning to wash away the edge of the road. [Continued on pg. 2.]Collective bargaining urged by HARRY McFARLAND and SUKIDARD ARIAN The collective bargainingissue will have to be solved in this legislative session, or strikes may be the only alternative left for highereducation faculty. So says Maurice Foisy, a member of the Faculty Coalition, who reiterated thetestimony of others before the House Higher Education subcommittee Friday at Western. Foisyquoted polls showing overwhelming support of collective bargaining. Now, he said, all public employees,except college and university faculty are covered by collective bargaining legislation. Mark Wicholas,American Federation of Teachers local president, said faculty do not have contracts, and the conditionsof employment are in a handbook approved by the Board of Trustees. He also said there are notsatisfactory grievance procedures, that a sustained loss of teaching positions is caused by theconversion of the positions to administrative slots, and there is a lack of administrative accountability.Leslie Rowe, representing the Washington Education Association, said a good collective bargaining billshould have "clear, precise language," but that "the right to bargaining does not mean the differences can be solved." A former Council of Faculty Representative memberr, Marvin Olmstead, said the collectivebargaining bill introduced by Representative Richard King (Everett) would be acceptable, but that studentrepresentatives engaged in the process may be a hindrance. College President Paul J. Olscamp saidrecently at an Associated Students board meeting that he would rather not have collective bargaining, but if the faculty could not get what "They need and deserve," then he might support it. The subcommittee,chaired by Representative Art Moreau (D-Bellingham), also heard testi-money on the state Council onPostsecondary Education (CPE) Master Plan from Olscamp and CPE staff member Bill Chance. CPEhas drawn up a plan for the future of higher education in the state. After receiving input from across thestate, the council has reviewed the first 98 of the 201 proposals, striking, modifying and combining someof them, according to Chance. Olscamp expressed satisfaction with the actions of the council at thispoint, although the major portion of Western's objections to the plan have not yet been reviewed by thecouncil. ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, January 13,1976 Neighbors pitch in as flood hits hard [Continued from pg. 1.] A dump truck had just arrived and was about to empty a load of sand on the paved roadway where it couldmost conveniently be shoveled in the form of a pseudo-sandbag dam. Art Humphreys, a neighbor andlong-time veteran at trying to help save both his trailer and his village, began directing the half dozen other Lummi volunteers. A half hour later, a second load of sand was finally dumped, and everyone begantaking turns shoveling. The water was nearly a foot deep where it was crossing the road, but the dambegan slowing it considerably. Yet, we all knew the high tide would soon raise the river and it would enter Marietta from downriver where there is no dike. After shoveling for half an hour, I remembered about mystinkin' final exam at Western which had probably already begun. Double bummer! We simply had nochoice but to abandon our home and village before the flood reached its peak. The water out front of theTribal Center for the Marietta Band of the Nooksack Tribe was nearly waist deep as we headed for ourcar. My legs were mighty tired by the time we reached dry land. Governor recommends 32 per centincrease of tuition at all levels There is little chance college tuition rates will not be raised in theupcoming state supplemental budget. With the inflation plus primary education financing problems,lawmakers may reduce state appropriations to colleges and universities while asking students to paymore, Western President Paul Olscamp said recently. This trend is reflected in the tuitionrecommendations of the advisory Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) staff and the Governor'sexpected budget proposal. CPE's and Gov. Evans' recommendations are to raise tuition at the four statecolleges to $564 a year, at the 26 community colleges and technical institutes to $330 a year, and at thetwo universities to $684 a year. This is a 32 per cent tuition increase in tuition from the rate set fouryears ago, CPE Finance Coordinator Denis Curry said Friday. The amounts CPE and Evans willrecommend are designed to raise money while re-establishing the 1971-72 tuition ratios between thethree groups of higher learning institutions. Also, Curry said, graduate students now pay an extra $60 per quarter, and CPE will recommend this be increased to $81. Veterans, whose tuitions were frozen at the1971 level, may be required to pay 85 per cent of the new tuition amounts at state-supported collegesand universities, he added. Last session, the Governor recommended raising university and communitycollege tuitions, but not state college tuitions. .This plan — which did not pass the legislature —responded to state colleges' complaints that they were relatively overpriced, i.e., that community colleges were much less expensive while universities were not much more expensive, Curry said. But recentlystate college enrollments have risen, so the new recommendations provide tuition increases for everyone. SANDBAGS AGAINST THE WATER — Lummi volunteers battle the flooding Nooksack. Our dogs werecompletely sopped, and they stank horrendously while begging for us to let them in the car. We had nochoice, actually. On the way to Western, we heard the radio announcer say that much of Ferndale hadalready gone under. When we waded back through the cold water that night, we were mighty grateful tofind that the flood had stopped a couple of inches shy of entering our house. It wasn't until the secondnight of the flood that we learned where the evacuation center was. After the Scottish Lodge evacuationcenter had been evacuated, we had quite a few roommates at the Broadway Christian Church. We wereprovided with warm blankets, soft cots, plenty to eat and a dry place to study for our final exams. Ourdogs were probably as glad as anyone to finally return to our home, after camping for several days in theback of our car. An unexpected Christmas present by LOUIE PHILLIPS Christmas is a hassle. You goto school 90 miles from your family home. Finals Week is no time to shop, and you wouldn't want tocarry your packages home anyway. You see, I'm a member of that subculture which is foolish enough to travel by way of thumb — and unfortunately by way of foot alttbo often. My parents live in a Seattlesuburb at the north end of Lake Washington. There is transit service to Seattle, but it's only on the mainroad. Sometimes I take the bus, most often I hitchhike to the city limits. In all cases, I have to walk tothe main highway. Mid-December is always cold, but thank God it wasn't raining as I went out foranother day of Christmas shopping. At school, I'm always rushed. So, you see, I'm not inclined to walkrapidly when I'm not here. I saunter. Kind of shuffle my feet in a haphazard way. I jaywalk when I feelthere might be a better view from the other side of the street. My left foot trips over my right. My eyesstare at the last leaf twirling on an otherwise barren limb. I smile at kids pointing toy guns at me.Sometimes I feel they must think me very odd. "An adult without a car?" It's about a mile to the highway.I was walking in my laid-back manner — and then I saw a little white card. It was a BankAmericard.Blue and white but worth its weight in gold. I compared the signature on the card with nearby mailboxesbut none matched. There are no instructions on the card to tell the finder what to do with it. There is,however, an address and phone number for its owner to report it missing. I thought this odd. How couldone report the loss if they lost the number with the card? Add to this the absence in the phone book of a BankAmericard listing. For a moment I thought it might be nice to see the Swiss Alps in winter. I couldgo to the airport, catch the first plane to Geneva and they'd never catch me. Instead, I slipped the cardinto my wallet and continued on my adventure to the city's downtown department stores. It's not that I'mso honest. I'll lie whenever I can see an advantage in it. The next morning I called the number on theback of the card. I talked first to a secretary in BankAmericard's investigation office. From the tone of hervoice, I sensed she had far fewer finders of credit cards than she had losers. Then she gave me FrankJones, head of the office. We discussed where I found the card, how it had been stolen, if I had foundanything else and how to return it to his office. Then came the surprise. "Cut it in half, Lou, and send itto me in a letter with your name and address," Jones said, "and we'll send you a $25 reward." Trusteespass School of Education The School of Education became a reality last week, when the Board ofTrustees unanimously passed the proposal during their meeting in Fair-haven Auditorium. Inpresenting the proposal, College President Paul J. Olscamp said it had administrative approval withrecommendations that a roles and missions statement be developed. Acting Vice President forAcademic Affairs Loren Webb said the Associate Dean for Treacher Education Arnold Gallegos isdeveloping the statement with the education faculty. The statement will outline the ways the schoolwould interrelate with the various colleges at Western. The roles and missions statement will be given to Webb, who will present it to the Academic Coordinating Committee (ACC). :••;; Gallegossaid the school was a "significant step forward" that "finally gives a total, overall concept for teachereducation at Western." The school will be implemented in February, when an acting dean for theschool will be appointed. ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, January 13,1976 Western Front 3 Shorts gt; Sidelights WashPIRG fate decided The fate ofWashPIRG will be decided today at the College Services Council meeting in Old Main 320 at 4 p.m. Themeeting is open; all are invited to attend.

Security men now commissioned officers byERDXMAGNUSON Next time you're caught siphoning gas by campus security, don't compare it tobeing caught by the night watchman of a candy company. All nine-full-time members of Western'ssecurity force are now commissioned officers. Seven were commissioned by President Paul J.Olscamp Dec. 11; the remaining two were commissioned Wednesday. "The main reason for this step isto protect officers from legal action when it is found necessary to detain a suspect," said R.G. Peterson, director of Campus Safety and Security. Previously, the only legal authority officers had to hold asuspect was in cases where there was reason to believe a felony had been committed. Every citizen hasthis same right, he said. Officers will not carry firearms, Peterson said, and the status of part-timemembers of the force will remain unchanged. State law requires that all peace officers are graduates of apolice academy. As commissioned officers, full-time officers are now on an equal footing with those ofother colleges and universities in the state. The change means that campus security can legally detainthose suspected of committing a misdemeanor, such as vandalism or petty theft, Peterson said.Previously, if someone apprehended by security officers decided to leave before Bellingham Policearrived, the only alternatives were to let him go or tail him until police caught up with him, he added.Campus residents will not be affected by the changes, Peterson said. "The vast majority of thosecommitting robberies on campus are not members of the college community and regard Western as anice ripe plum," he said. Now that Campus Security officers can make arrests, Peterson believes theywill be seen as a greater threat and act as a deterrant to crime. Board passes faculty allocationsProposed part-time winter quarter faculty allocations for seven academic areas was unanimouslyapproved at last Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting in Fairhaven Auditorium. Due to an increase infall student enrollment above that projected by the state, the Office of Program Planning and FiscalManagement (the governor's budget office) has authorized the expenditure of up to $35,000 toincrease faculty allocations for winter and spring quarters. After consultation with various facultycommittees and the administrative staff, College President Paul J. Olscamp and Acting Vice Presidentfor Academic Affairs Loren Webb recommended to the board that allocations be divided into part-timeassignments to meet demands caused by increases in student enrollment during winter quarter.According to Webb, Western's additional authorized allocations would cover only three full-timepositions. The areas receiving positions will be: English (composition); journalism; Fairhaven; speechpathology and audiology; technology (photography); home economics; art; business administrationand economics. The Allocations Advisory Committee will meet this quarter to examine allocations forspring. Why the hassle? BY LIZ RUST Western is funded according to enrollment projections made forthe upcoming quarter by the Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management. Formerly, whenenrollment exceeded state projections the school was allowed to apply the extra local revenue fromstudent fees to its instructional budget. However, a new funding contract with the State, limits the abilityto use any extra additional funds, according to a memo from College President Paul J. Olscamp andActing Vice President for Academic Affairs Loren Webb. The projection number is given a leeway of oneand one-nalt per cent. Under the new contract, if actual enrollment goes beyond or beneath that margin,the extra revenue from student fees goes back to the state's general fund. This situation aids the school if the final total is within the one and one-half per cent margins. However, if the figure is more than one and one-half per cent above the projection, as was the case in fall 1975, Western does not receive extrafunding beyond one-and-a-half per cent. According to Webb, the added student enrollment for fall wasseven per cent, while the added local funding was only the allowable one and one-half per cent. can 676-1304 for FREE DELIVERY min. order $ 3 . 0 0 — 2 mile radius from VENUS PIZZA Italian Dinners,Pizzas, Drinks delivered to your door! ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, January 13,1976 Opinion I need a few more bucks Henry Jackson "Hello,operator.

Academic material in the unit is barely a reality. News articles, papers, radio or such is not allowed.

But we do not have the vaguest idea of what the world is like out there now, because many ofus have been in this situation for quite sometime.

Anyone who is interested inlooking at Amnesty International or doing work for it is invited to the Campus Christian Ministry house 8 p.m. Thursday. Meetings also tend to be on the first Thursday of every month. This letter isspecifically in regard to an incident in Russia involving Amnesty Internationa l Two members inRussia, biologist and human rights activist Sergei Kovalev, and physicist Andrei Tverdokhlebov,have been charged with anti- Soviet activity, although our group is not illegal under the Sovietconstitution. Kovalev, who is a close friend of Nobel Prize winner Andrei Sakharov, has been sentencedto seven years in labor camp and three years in exile. Telegrams protesting the official treatment ofthese two men have been sent by Bellingham group members to Leonid Brezhnev and NikolaiShchelokov, Minister of the Interior. Copies of the telegrams will be sent to Anatoly Dobrynin, USSRambassador in Washington, D.C. Jesus, prayer not enough if you're alone Editor, Western Front:Tony Kroell was a friend of mine in his early 20s. He lived here for two years, part of the time in aChristian "boys' " home for single young men. There were daily prayer meetings, prayers, fasting, etc. .. . but the "home" lacked what Tony needed — love. Last February Tony killed himself. Moral of thestory: If you want to survive in Bellingham, don't trust Jesus, he's been dead a lot longer than Tony.Suggestion: If you go it alone, you may not make it. Try to find someone to love.

Smith chairperson, Group 47 making comeback by HARRY McFARLANDSenator Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) in an interview with his biographer Bill Prochnau recalled aparticularly gory bull fight in Juarez, Mexico. The Senator, sitting in the front row, became sick when thematador killed the bull. Later in the interview, when the subject was Vietnam, Jackson told of a visit to the front lines, where the arms and legs of men Uttered the area. He did not feel the revulsion of a bull dyingin an arena. Prochnau asked why and recalled, "After a long pause, Jackson replied. In a voice filled withcompassion and perhaps even tenderness, yet with the great weight of his responsibilities, he said,'Because killing the bull was not necessary.' " Surely, Jackson has realized the futility of Vietnam. Killing men in a war to settle political differences is as necessary as killing a bull for entertainment. Manyconsider Jackson the top Democratic presidential candidate. That's not impressive in a race for theDemocratic nomination comparable to the starting gate at Belmont. In a report by the Citizens Look atCongress, a Ralph Nader organization, Jackson was shown to be the liberal politician's nightmare,because he strongly supports the military-industrial complex and holds a hard-line defense posture.McGovern aide Frank Mankiewicz said a 1972 Jackson presidential nomination would have made a fourthparty inevitable. Considering what that election gave us, that seems to be a naive statement from theman who wrote "Perfectly Clear: Nixon from Whittier to Watergate." Jackson's regaining of nationalrecognition (he was John Kennedy's first choice for vice president in 1960) has been a long road. He wascloser to the presidency in 1960 than he is now. This comeback is typical of Jackson. He hasconsistently been a hard-worker, who has brought federal money home to his constituents as any goodSenator should. Conservationists have a friend in Jackson, who is the only elected official to win theSierra Club's John Muir Award for Conservation (1969J. He also has won the National WildlifeFederation's Legislator of the Year Award (1970) and the Bernard Baruch Conservation Award (1969). Hisonly non-conservation stand of major importance was his support of the Supersonic Transport. In theNader group's report, Jackson survived with a few minor scrapes and bruises, but without loss of limb orportions of the skin. That is amazing for a man whom someone asked about, "Can you see that man asPresident?" To which came the answer, "No." Mainly because men dying doesn't make him sick.

HenryJackson, D-Wash„ gave a "non-political speech" at the Bellingham Elks Club Dec. 27. The occasionwas a breakfast in honor of a new wing for St. Joseph's Hospital. Editor, Western Front: I am writing inresponse to the two letters pertaining to abortion in the Friday, Nov. 21 Front. My purpose in writing isnot to preach or to set up clear guidelines on the rights and wrongs in this issue. I recognize that on theabstract level — ethically and morally there may be black and white boundaries: in a general, idealsense, we can speak of abortion being absolutely right or wrong. However, on the human, individuallevel, the issue is uot so clear cut. Each person must finally decide for himself, and only God knows allthe tensions and considerations that enter into the decision. Therefore, it is not my place to passjudgment. However, I would like to present another viewpoint on this issue and facts and ideas which are most often ignored. It may be true that a woman has a right to do whatever she chooses with her ownbody. But to go so far as to say she has a right to infringe upon the rights of another individual — thehuman fetus — is an entirely different thing. Do we really doubt that the fetus is a human being? Twoyears ago when scientists- were able to fertilize a human egg and see it through the initial stages ofdevelopment, the papers headlined: "Human Life in a Test Tube!" Human life in a glass tube but acancerous growth in a woman's womb? Many of us are willing to allow that the fetus is human, but deny it is a person with human rights (as the January Article accurate; information given misleading Editor,Western Front: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Front and Bob Slone for the accuratearticle in the Nov. 21 issue entitled, "Social violations by students should be handled by the courts."This article described a basic underlying principle of the Student Rights and Responsibilities TaskForce proposal. That principle being that 18-year-olds are legally considered responsible for theiractions and should be entitled to all adult rights, including the right to due p ocess of law. I made onestatement that I feel needs to be corrected. Academic probation is determined solely by grade pointaverage and becomes part of the permanent academic record. Due to some misinformation, I statedthat in the past the college judicial system had used academic probation as a form of disciplinary action. This is not so. It is important for the student to know any disciplinary action taken by the collegenever becomes part of the permanent academic record. However, the college judicial system hasacted capriciously when imposing disciplinary action on students. For example, a student, onceaccused of a drug code violation, was arbitarily sentenced to keep their room clean for a given periodof time. What disciplinary action a college judicial body may take is not defined in current college policy and is left up to the discretion of the judicial body. As a result of this lack of guidelines, prudent judicialaction has not been forthcoming through existing judicial bodies. The educational value of such afutile process obviously lacks any substance. Bob Anderson Student Services RepresentativePatriotic commission reaffffiiir ms revolutionary origins, ideals Editor, Western Front: The People'sBicentennial Commission, having nearly 20 interested people, has been officially recognized by theAssociated Students as a campus organization, and plans to ^LBA| gt; investigate (sic) its officespace Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in Viking Union 224. The objectives of this organization are twofold.First, the commission aims to reacquaint people with America's revolutionary origins and thedemocratic principles espoused by our founders 200 years ago. And, in a modern context, it isprepared to inform people of the need to apply those principles to the economic institutions inAmerica today. The commission's function is to advance these two objectives by providing specificeducational materials and by suggesting social action programs that can be utilized by students,faculty, campus organizations and academic departments. Come and join the patriots in the Spirit of 76. Roger Hardesty Coordinator 1972 Superior Court decision reflected). How do we justify labeling human beings as non-persons in our own self-interest? The idea that we should allow abortion by l aw toprotect the woman who is pregnant because of rape is simply misguided. Very few women becomepregnant through rape. In the U.S. last year out of 23,000 reported rape victims, only 9 becamepregnant. If even those few chose ~to abort, I could not pass judgment. I do know one woman whobecame pregnant because of rape. Though unmarried she had the baby, and has no problems loving it. It is not the child's fault that he/she conceived. However, to say we need abortion on demand to protect these women is simply an excuse. Since when do our laws protect such small minorities? It is truethat pregnancy takes time out of one's life, and may interrupt a career. It's hot as though you had to beflat on your back for nine months, however. Are we that impatient, and that selfish in today's world thatwe can't wait 4 or so months? As a matter of fact, technically a woman can take only six weeks offfrom work to have a baby, and most employers cannot fire you or discriminate against you simplybecause you are pregnant. There is always a possibility of pregnancy when persons engage in sexualactivity. Perhaps we must learn to be more responsible and more willing to deal with theconsequences of our actions. It is true that many children who are born are unwanted and the parentunable to care for them adequately (whatever that means). Oh,, but there are so many people who would love to have these children; there are people even now who must wait three years to adopt a child. And though it may be true also that this is an ugly world, what right have we to be rid of him/her to protecthim/her from what we judge will be an awful life? Finally, in response to the person who said that menmust be careful about how much they say on this issue: it is true that a man will never have to makethis decision and must not force a woman to make a certain decision — because he has no idea whatit is really like to face pregnancy, a break in life, a great new responsibility, etc. ' . However, a man does have a right to defend another human individual to whom injustice is being done. To say he can't is likesaying a person cannot protest against war or hunger because he will never be a soldier or be starving.'There is a wider issue involved here than that of woman's rights — the issue of the rights of theunborn child. Also, the child is not only the woman's child, it is the father's also. He has a responsibilitytowards the child and towards the mother too. I realize that this is a broad and complicated issue. I feel that many abortion advocates have not clearly acknowledged many of the pro-life arguments. Thank you for the opportunity to share my views.

Strindberg's faltering light drama, viewed by areceptive, fair-sized audience in Old Main Theatre, was a graduate thesis production directed by StuartPaxton. The play's Eastery themes of suffering, patience and the perils of pride were intertwinedallegorically with the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. The story takes place three days beforeEaster, in a small town in southern Sweden. The stilted script correlates the guilt and struggles of theHeyst family with the doom and subsequent glory of Christ's account. Frequently quoting the Bible andold proverbs, the script often sounds like a rambling religious cliche, which is appropriate for its intent,but neither interesting or intense enough to be moving. Working with a script that seemed disjointed andhard to grasp, the characters did not appear sturdv or uniform. The performances of Ethel Raulston andDavid H. Locey lacked depth and consistency, but it is difficult to discern whether the deficiency was inthe script or their renditions. The sensitive, but almost too sugary sweet Elenora, was portrayed byMarilyn McLean, who gave one of the few consistent and fresh interpretations of the evening. The play did relate a strong sense of discomfort, anxiety and emptiness in which the characters were relentlesslycaught up. A struggling surge for release mounted throughout the performance but was only partiallyresolved by the climax, which left this writer touched, but not satisfied. Stuart Paxton's direction of thisdisjointed drama was a good effort, which could have been more effective had the characters been given a more secure vehicle to carry them.

Poems of peace, love and war were interspersed with his comments about hislife, writings and observations. Amichai was born in Germany in 1924 and resettled in Israel at the age of 21. He fought in the Jewish Brigade of the British army in World War II and in each of Israel's wars. Hisfeelings on war are reflected in his poetry as well as his religious background which he said has helped to shape his way of writing. "Poetry is about everything in your life," he said. "Writing poetry is the mostconservative and the most avant-garde thing together." A poem about a mother soothing her son to sleep he called a kind of "cradle song," describing it as being both wounding and healing at the same time."Every poem is a kind of cradle song," he said. "Poets must stick to reality." Amichai read a poem ofpeace first in English and then Hebrew, Of love poems he said, "A happy love poem is boring. All you can say is I love you, I love you, I love you, over again." A few lines from one selection read, "I am a manalone. I am not a democracy." He kept the audience laughing with comments like "sometimes I hateliving in a town (Jerusalem) where every stone is holy" and "Hebrew is a poor language for cursing. Youhave to use Russian or Arabic." Amichai was one of five guests of honor in Vienna this fall at the annualmeeting of P.E.N., an international literary society. He has written four volumes of poetry, two novels, abook of plays and a book of short stories.

McCoy Tyner Sextet will appear in the Concert Hall a month later, March7. For the last two years, "Downbeat" has selected Tyner as Jazz pianist of the year and he has alsobeen "Downbeat's" Man of the Year and Jazz Group Leader of the Year.

Presented by Associated Students Program CommissionCommunity Arts Resource Center o bright spot for Northwest artists byRICKDONKER The coordinationof local art, artists and art resources is the goal of Bellingham's Community Arts Resource Center. Thecenter is an incorporated non-profit organization with a three fold purpose: to provide income to seniorcitizens who teach folk art classes; to provide information on art seminars, art scholarships and otherartists in the area; to provide workshops and classes in all aspects of art. One feature of the center is an archive devoted to local artists that features information and samples of their work. "We are trying toorganize and coordinate local artists so we can share and compare information and interests," saidConnie Bonifas," one of the resident artists working at the art center. The center will be offering classesin folk art and fine art classes that will include such areas as woodcarving, spinning, basketweaving, doll-making and leather work. The center is also offering in-depth workshops on the business aspects of art.Resume writing portfolio presentation and bookkeeping are some of the topics that will be covered in theclass. The classes will also feature guest speakers with specializations in the specific workshop areas."We would like to present enough information and ideas to the artists so they can become self-sufficient.Too many good artists develop their talent in a specific area, like Bellingham, and then feel they have togo to the big city to make their work pay," said Bonifas. Other features of the resource center includebrochures and pamphlets on a number of art related subjects, sources for finding art materials, grantand scholarship information, as well as books and reference materials. "We want to provide one placewhere the artist can go to get all the information on any art related subject," Bonifas said, "as well asprovide an educational institution for people who would like to learn and get involved in art." So far thecenter has had enthusiastic support from the business and art community and they are hoping to buildand expand if possible.

Coming from Yakima, I have met few Hare Krishnas, liberal extremists or gay people. The situation at Western is quite different. One night while talking to Bill, a friend of mine, the conversation drifted to the gay world. Bill surprised mewhen he suddenly remarked, "You see . . . I'm gay." I wasn't repulsed, only a little shocked and veryfascinated. Here was an opportunity to discover what makes a gay person tick. We agreed to meet a few nights later to discuss his perceptions on gay life. Bill is tall, slender and soft-spoken, with a crop ofrich brown hair and rather penetrating brown eyes. He implied throughout our chat that gay relationshipsand straight relationships are alike Having sex with another man, Bill said, is like a heterosexualencounter. "To me it's fulfilling and pleasurable, and that basically is what sex is about, isn't it?" Heemphasized, though, that he doesn't care for a purely physical relationship. "Obviously, I'm drawnphysically to a man," he said, but he added that he looks for an emotional experience. However, Bill does have physical preferences "I prefer masculine men to feminine men . . . but sometimes I'll be attracted to a man just for his personality." Bill said he first became aware of his desires for men in the ninth grade.A little reservedly, he recalled that he was arrested that year when police discovered he had been mailing suggestive notes to a man. "What it boils down to is that I was arrested for soliciting," he explained. As a result, Bill's parents discovered his situation. They since have been concerned, he said, because "mythree other brothers are all Music prof to perform Composer-pianist Edwin La- Bounty of music facultywill present the first concert of the quarter 8:15 p.m. Thursday in die Concert Hall. He will lead threeother musicians in a presentation of "Music from His Circle," a group of compositions by La- Bounty,some of his friends and Western students. 'normal'." he added very wryly that one of his brothers is"almost an alcoholic." After Bill became aware of his sexuality he voraciously read everything he couldfind on homosexuality. "I was confused and really upset to read about how awful I was supposed to be."Since Bill doesn't seem to fit any social stereotypes of a "fag," he really hasn't been teased about beingfeminine except by some "little macho brats pestering me because I would rather play with girls." Billwas especially indignant about contact sports. "I don't understand them," he said, "they make no senseto me." His pastimes, however, do not show femininity. Non-contact sports, movies and symphonies are his favorite hobbies, indicating normal tastes. Bill said he has told few people of his sexuality, In fact, hehas always been nervous about "opening up." He admires students in Western's Gay People's Alliancebecause they are open. He said wistfully, "I wish I could be like that." Bill looked back to his first gayencounter during the summer of 1973. "I first went to a theater that showed 'all male films for the matureadult,' then I went to a gay street dance and hit the bars with a gay friend." Most of Bill's bar-life centersin the Seattle area. He mentioned Shelley's Leg, the Golden Horseshoe and the Trojan Shield as amonghis favorites. "I enjoy the Trojan Shield the most," he said. "They let lots of people in and the dance flooris always packed." But gay bars aren't all a bed of roses. "I find gay bars very cliquish, and I really feelsorry for someone who is just coming out, because until you are accepted it can be lonely," Bill said.Bill is critical of people who come to the bars just for a "pickup." Lots of people do, he said, but once aperson is accepted "the people are friendly and become great friends." Bars are not the only place to "get a little action," though. Bill frowned on the method used in restrooms. He explained that a gay guy in astall will move his foot toward the edge of the next stall. If the guy in that stall is interested, he'll move his foot over so that it touches the other guy's foot. At that time "they make arrangements" or perform oralsex in one of the stalls. Very little, if any, emotion is involved, Bill said. He considers restrooms "a tackyresort." When I asked Bill about the language gay people use, he looked at me wonderingly. "I've neverheard any real language that can be called exclusively gay language," he said. "Maybe in less liberaltimes it was necessary, but now I think it's ridiculous." He said terms like "drag queen" aren'tnecessarily gay words. "Drag Queen is just the best term for a man dressed as a woman." Toward theend, our conversation got a little more serious. I wanted Bill's reaction to accusations that gay peopleare mentally ill, bad influences and "reprobates." He seemed to weigh his answer behind a doubtfulbrow. "I often wonder if they (the accusations) aren't true," Bui responded. "When a gay person is notallowed to express himself, he may have emotional problems. A lot of gay people are disturbed; beinghappy is just a front they put on," he continued. Bill said he feels much more at home with gay people."Going to gay bars I can be with people who feel pretty much as I do. A lot of gay friends are true friendsin time of need." Yet, Bill saw little distinction between gays and straights. Even though he claimed hewould never want to be heterosexual, he probably best summed his feelings when he told me, "I knowgay people that are positively repulsive, but I also know some straight people that are equally repulsive."htbbyhive arts, crafts and models downtown Bellingham 111 E.

The new brand of activism is a blend of "cultural revolution," a women'sstudy group, and a campaign for a public interest research group. Unlike the late 1960s and early 1970s, when anti-war protesters frequently congregated in Red Square, 1976's gatherings there are religious innature. At 8:45 a.m., twice-weekly during fall quarter and occasionally this quarter, Bill Waring strumsan acoustic guitar as approximately 60 people gather around him to sing hymns in the square. "I couldn't say whether we're activists," Waring said one day last quarter after such a gathering dispersed. "Thereason we come out here is to sing praise to our Lord and have time together with our brothers andsisters." In 1971, the year the morning gatherings first began, Waring says, "my roommate tells me itwas a pretty turbulent time" at Western. On Nov. 1 that year, according to the Nov. 2, 1971 Front, anestimated 750 students gathered in Red Square to protest the then-pending five megaton nuclearunderground explosion on Amchitka Island, off Alaska's coast. Exactly 18 months earlier, the Frontreported that on May 5, 1970 an estimated 2,000 students gathered in Red Square to protest the killingsof four students at Kent State and the Cambodian invasion. What's happened to student activism thataccompanied the "turbulent" late 1960s and early 1970s? Views held by a dozen students, surveyed, by the Front recently showed that three students equated the word "activism" wfth violence. Four studentsin the survey said, student activism may no longer be necessary because college officials have becomemore sensitive to student needs as manifested by an improved college curriculum. These views areunderscored by the fact that there are only two campus-based political organizations at Western — theAsian Political Union and the Bellingham Young Democrats, according to records at the A.S. ActivitiesOffice. There are those, however, that say activism isn't dead, but instead manifested in different socialand political forms.

Jim says the demonstrations,while showing the ability of people to organize as a collective unit, "were more of an exercise thananything else." They fell short, he said, because, despite demonstrations, the underground nuclear testand the war proceeded. Today, Jim says he "and I suspect others" are now "more involved in a solidrevolution than back then — a cultural revolution involved with the spiritual aspects of human beingsrather than structural organizations. "I'm not so involved (today) in politics," Jim said. "In fact, I'd ratherrun or fortify my situation than be involved in any type political movement." Women's Study GroupAmong the approximate five campus women organizations dealing with academic and social subjects isa weekly woman's study group that began at Fairhaven last fall. The study group's coordinator, seniorDebby Gay, said the initial idea of the study group was "to get women together to discuss the differentfeminist groups within the movement" from the 1860s to the 1970s. Gay said the 11 to 17 member groupbegan its contemporary study with Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique, which Gay said helped spawn the National Organization of Women (NOW). NOW, according to Gay, is a "very liberalmovement" concerned with changing laws and making women equal." It was NOW's liberalism, Gay said, which gave birth to the radical feminist movement between 1965 and 1970. Radical feminists placedmore emphasis than NOW "on sexism, personal life, and sexual roles," Gay said. "For this group ofwomen (radical feminists), the enemy became 'men' as a caste." "It's important," said Gay, "to look atthe differences (between feminists), to see where we're the same so we can support each other'sbattles." Wash-PIRG Organizer Junior Steve McCallister says he's been politically active ever sincehe.was a teenager. In 1971, however, McCallister said he dropped out of activist circles "becauseactivists had violence directed toward them, not by them." "The first idea of activism is getting thingsdone," said McCallister, today one of 30 campus organizers of Students for WashPIRG. "When this ismet with violence, you don't get things accomplished." WashPIRG, in McCallister's view, "is aconstructive form of activism that can provide a means to channel frustration into meaningful change." . -• « * ,.- For the past nine weeks, McAllister and his WashPIRG colleagues have been attempting toget the necessary 60 per cent study body approval for a two-dollar per quarter tuition increase to fund aWash-PIRG chapter here. While confident the required total can be reached (currently in excess of 4,000 have agreed to the increase), McCallister said the campaign "promises to be a long process." Heexplained that final approval of the Wash-PIRG proposed funding mechanism has to be approved byWestern's Board of Trustees. In 1972, the trustees, whose membership then, except for one person, was the same as today's, rejected a similar Wash-PIRG funding scheme because "the proposed fundingmechanism far outweighs any educational benefits to be derived from the proposal," according to theminutes of the board's June 1, 1972 meeting. Local group proposes directory for county lawyers by BOB SLONE A long-standing code of ethics which prevents lawyers from advertising their services isbeing questioned and may be changed, according to Jerry Richard, Fairhaven instructor. Richard headsa group concerned with developing a lawyers directory for Whatcom County. The group has run into a snag in the ethics code which is being upheld at this time by the Washington State BarAssociation. According to Richard, the American Bar Association will be reviewing this and otherproblems this spring. Until such time as the code is changed, the directory will remain on the drawingboards, Richard said. Several local lawyers have voiced support for the change, should it go into effect."It would be advantageous for the public to be aware of who an attorney is," said Timothy W. Carpenter,a Bell-ingham lawyer. Local attorney Dennis Hind-man said the directory would be "a public service" aslong as it was "done in good taste." Hindman said there was a chance this advertising could get out ofhand, with some of the larger firms developing a "possible monopoly" in that area. "People should beaware that there is a lawyer referral service in Des Moines," said attorney Robert E. Beaty. "But therewould be an overriding benefit in a directory of this type." Students could observe wage talks; unionleaders against proposal bySUKIDARDARIAN and HARRY McFARLAND Students will be givenobservers rights in collective bargaining sessions of some faculty leaders, if the King bill is passedthis legislative session. An amendment to the labor relations bill which calls for collective bargaining foreducational employes (including faculty) also calls for a team of no more than three students to bepresent at collective bargaining sessions.

"Having students as part of the bargaining process would not be good," he testified at the House Higher Education subcommittee hearing Friday at Western. Mark Wicholas,president of the local American Federation of Teachers, said he would "rather not have students asobservers." Leslie Rowe, representing the Washington Education Association, said having studentsinvolved in bargainingn would make the process more difficult. At a recent Associated StudentsBoard meeting, College President Paul J.

At notime were the Viks in any danger of losing the lead as they methodically widened the gap. The Wolveswere never able to recover from Western's first half surge finding themselves behind 46-25 at the half."They outfought and out-hustled us, particularly in the first half," Wolves Coach Bob McCullough, said ofWestern.

Vik coach Jack Ecklund attributed much of the Vikings'success to outstanding defense the first half, and a patient offense with controlled fast breaks. Although the game did not seem to be the most exciting to watch, it certainly did not lack in performances.Guard Dave Wood broke the single game assists records with 15 for the Viks. Rob Visser, Vik center,had 13 rebounds and 20 points. Vik guard Brad Fuhrer continued to be leading scorer for Western,pumping in 28 points. Freshman guard Craig Erick-sen contributed 10 points for Western. Ericksen tookover starting duties from senior Scott Curran. "We finally got everything together," Ericksen said of their win. "Defense is what did it. OCE is a good ball club." Ecklund, who played everyone on the bench,said they all played well and was particularly pleased with Ericksen's defense and forward GregSmith's rebounding and defensive efforts. Smith had six rebounds and 12 points. "Wood penetratedvery well and when there is a shooter like Fuhrer, he's bound to give you trouble," McCullough said. "We were simply outplayed." Saturday night's victory gave Western a 6-6 record and follows a two gamewinning streak from Vik contests over the holidays. Western participated in two tournaments during thevacation, winning three and losing four. At the Balladtown Classic, the Viks placed third, winning one game in four attempts. The single victory was over Western Baptist College, 78-67, with Smith's fineefforts of 28 points and 18 rebounds. Visser contributed 24 points and ten rebounds, while Wood tied the school record with 12 assists. The Vikings' losses were to Whitworth College, 70-58, Gon-zaga, 85-69, and George Fox, 72-60. Visser grabbed 18 rebounds and blocked five shots in the George Fox defeat. Western then followed up with a fourth place finish at the John Lewis Holiday Classic, with a 2-1record. The wins were over Warner Pacific College, 82-70, and St. Martins College, 74-53. DespiteFuhrer's 27 points against Lewis and Clark College, Western was dropped 76-72. Fuhrer was namedto the All-Tournament team at the latter tourney, scoring 73 points in the three games.

Oregon constantly tried to penetrateWestern's defense, but wound up committing a total of 54 turnovers which saw the "running blue" grab the ball and fast break down the court for more baskets. Western coach Lynda Goodrich praised theteam's traditional one-on-one defense, but gave special credit to forward Diane Bjerke for creating manyof Oregon's turnovers. Joni Slagle, the VIkettes'big gun, again led the squad in scoring and rebounding.The 5-10 center scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to boost her scoring average to 22.8 pointsper game. It was obvious the Vikettes played up to Slagle's quick firing and scoring accuracy. Theyrepeatedly fed her the ball on inbounds passes, under the basket and outside the key, and she showedshe had the touch. Third-year varsity guards Dee Dee Molner and Charmon Odle contributed to the rompas they popped in 12 and 14 points respectively. Odle led in assists with nine. Western was gt; notentirely healthy either. Starting forward Bethany Ryals sprained an ankle in practice last week and guardShelly Kulstad has been sidelined due to illness since last month. Both are expected to resume practice this week. The Vikettes played a five game slate during the Christmas vacation. Western crushed itsfirst two league opponents, Seattle Pacific College (SPC), 85-55, and Washington State University 89-55. Slagle was high pointer in both games, scoring 20 and 29 respectively. Western won only one of thethree practice games in a six team post-Christmas Invitational Tournament at SPC. They were topped by Lumberman's-Bellevue AAU, 80-58, and Victoria, British Columbia Club, 84-59. The lone tournamentvictory was over Dr. Bernard's-Port-land AAU, 80-58. Three Western varsity alumni from the past twoyears played on two of these AAU teams. They were former outside sharpshooting guard and last year'sjunior varsity coach Wendy Hawley (Dr. Bernard's) and forwards Claudia Haaker and Sue Stange(Lumberman's). Slagle garnered a high of 44 points and 36 rebounds for the three games, while Molnercontributed 22 assists. r Commentary Peg Bolek, coach, dies Assistant women's basketball coachMargaret (Peg) Bolek, 24, died of a heart attack Dec. 10 at her home in Bellingham. Peg, a physicaleducation major at Western, was buried in her home state of New Jersey. While at Western, Peggy wasvery active in the sports program and respected as a friend, player and coach. Peg may have seemedshy to her many acquaintances, but her close friends were drawn to her infectious smile and thesomewhat mysterious way her warmth and sensitivity grasped them. She needed only six more creditsto complete her coaching minor, but she had already gained experience in the field. She was assistantvolleyball coach at Sehome High School last fall, women's, junior varsity basketball coach this year, andshe taught tennis and coached Softball in Bellingham's Park and Recreation Program last summer. Pegalso played varsity volleyball and basketball for two years at Western, but most of her friendsconsidered tennis to be her best game. Peg will be missed, but those who knew and loved her canhonestly say their lives were enriched by her friendship. A Peg Bolek Memorial Scholarship Fund is nowbeing set up for needy women in the physical education department. Details will be printed later.

It used to read "We'll pay you $288 a month to learn a skill," but a groupcalling themselves the Bellingham Chapter of the Citizens Committee for Honesty in Billboards decidedthat was false advertising, and so sometime late Sunday night it was changed. The Front was informedof the planned sabotage when a person sounding very much like Donald Duck called the office Sundayevening, and asked to speak to the editor. He identified himself as a member of the Bellingham Chapterof the Citizens Committee for Honesty in Billboards, and stated that "a billboard on State Street is guiltyof false advertising, and is being rearranged to make it more honest." He asked the Front to drive downState Street early Monday morning, and to look for the altered board. A reporter and photographer wereon the scene .early yesterday, and discovered that the Army adjust off the corner of Laurel and State had been changed by blacking out the unwanted letters with some type of paint. The Bellingham ArmyRecruiting Office hadn't heard of the Committee's work when the Front inquired, but said that the "work of vandalism" would be removed as soon as possible. The alteration of the billboard may have beenprompted by a rash of attacks Photo by JAY ECKERT on Army billboard advertising which has beenoccuring recently across the nation, and has been reported in several newspapers including Bellingham's Northwest Passage. According to the Passage article, the Citizen's Committee claims chapters in 28states, all actively altering billboards to represent what they see as the truth. According to the Passage,the Committee notes that "modified billboards are being repaired," but says they'll correct this situationas fast as possible. ---------- Western Front - 1972 July 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2. Western Front Tuesday, July 18, 1972 Front editorials... What's George gonna do in Round Two?What's George got up his sleeve for Round Two? Round One was, in the end, no contest. With a superborganization lobbying for him at every democratic caucus and primary, McGovern entered the DemocraticConvention the odds-on favorite to win. And justly so, for he knocked all other contestants out of the ringin one ballot. George had correctly sensed the political mood of the people in the primaries and theconvention, and emerged as the darling of the Democratic party. George, really had his shit together inRound One. But Round Two is going to be a bit more of a challenge for the man from South Dakota.McGovern is entering the political ring against an old pro with a one win, one loss record j n pastpresidential races. George therefore has a distinct disadvantage from the beginning: his lack of experience in political infighting. George is going to have to learn a wide assortment of jabs and barbs in a very shorttime if he's going to stay in the ring with the champ. George is going to have to learn to duck and jab from the center, because this old pro is reputed to throw a mean right hook at anything coming at him from the left. George is gonna have to jab viciously at the weak links in Big Dick's armor, trying all the while tokeep the champ back on his heels. Rhetoric is really vicious at times like this, if applied properly. Wordslike Economy, Corporate Power, Taxes, Democracy, and Vietnam could bring Dick to his knees if applied in liberal doses. But first and foremost, George is going to have to maintain the charismatic personalityexuding confidence and honesty which he currently enjoys. The champ can only appeal to his past record of deception and lies, George can point to a prosperous and peaceful future. Keep your guard up,George, and smash him one for me. LYTM WATTS McGovern.. some fresh air or lots of stale cigarsmoke? After the "safe and sane" opening speech delivered by Democratic Party Chairman • LarryO'Brien, the acceptance speech by George McGovern was like a firecracker going off in our hands.O'Brien had said this was the year to stop the rhetoric, be open and honest with the American public, totry and restore America's faith in the political system by not promising things that can't be delivered.McGovern's speech was in direct opposition to the party's chairman. He promised things that will bedifficult, if not impossible, to deliver. McGovern proposed a grandiose scheme for bringing the soldiershome from Vietnam after stopping the bombing on Inauguration day. George may have something to sayabout when the bombing stops and when our soldiers return, but how can he promise that the POW's willcome home at the same time? He promised jobs where none exist today. Will he have to fall back on the old Democratic solution of artificially stimulating the economy to fulfill that promise? He promised welfare reform. How can he keep that promise, when it's been made before and couldn't be kept? His was aspeech liberally sprinkled with "I w i l l " and " I shall." These are words that imply promise. Nothingdefeats credibility faster than empty promises. If McGovern is to maintain the support of his backers andgive the voter a real alternative, he is going to have to do more than emulate the old style politics. STEVE NEFF |50VggSUaERj L"— IN CONGRESS THIS MORNING, THE PRESIDENT ASKED FOR FORMALDECLARATIONS OF WAR AGAINST BRAZIL, PERU.AND CHILI - A S ^AMERICA'S LATIN AMERICANWAR MOVES INTO ©SToawittBtfSS wineosMnwD mjBB Supertankers Oil and Puget's perils byDAVE SHANNON The tanker had the best in navigational aids and steering; she also carried 118,000tons of crude oil. She went aground in broad daylight with good visibility on a well-charter shoal. She isbetter known as the Torrey Canyon and her tragic spill on the English coast in 1967 put the oil industryinto the spotlight of public opinion. What has happened in the five years which have passed since theTorrey Canyon disaster? Have clean-up procedures improved? What about navigational aids and strengthof hull construction, have they improved? These and many other questions are troubling the people of the Puget Sound region. There are now four refineries within the confines of the sound. Texaco and Shell are at Anacortes, and Mobil and ARCO are located near Cherry Point. Also, Standard Oil owns land nearCherry Point, and will probably build a refinery there someday. To determine the probability of a spill inthe sound, we must examine the tankers that will transport crude oil. ARCO's tankers which will makethe Valdez-Puget Sound run, will weigh 120,000 tons and carry 940,000 barrels of crude oil from theNorth Slope. They will have single bottoms, not double bottoms, and will have single-screw drive. Single-screw, or single-propeller drive gives a ship less maneuvering ability than a double-screw drive. This is animportant consideration since the tankers must pass through Rosario Strait to reach Cherry Point. Thisstrait narrows to a width of one and a half miles at one point, and is never more than six miles wide at any location. Add to this the fact that the ARCO tanker has a minimum stopping distance from cruise speedof about one mile. This distance is achieved by "slaloming" the ship from side to side in order to increase the drag. Due to the narrow characteristic of Rosario Strait, this "slaloming" may not be possible and thedistance needed to stop would then be increased. Tidal currents and weather also affect stoppingdistance. Maneuvering speed of the 120,000 ton tankers would be about 5 knots, and thus the stoppingdistance from this speed would be less than that from cruise speed. However a ship which has beensuccessfully stopped is then quite vulnerable to tidal currents, which can exceed 2 knots in RosarioStrait. The list of tanker shortcomings and possible dangers of oil transport goes on and on. By now youcan tell that the problem is one of immense magnitude which will not "go away." It might appear thatsmaller tankers are a lesser danger, since they are more maneuverable and carry less oil. Not so, saysKerryn King, a vice-president of Texaco. . He claims that a few very large tankers would be safer thanmany smaller tankers. The more tankers required to transport a given amount of oil,- the greater thechance of .a.spill, according to King, - His point is well-taken,. however the facts still remain thatsupertankers are single-hulled, difficult to maneuver, and carry about thirteen times as much oil as the T-2 tanker in common use today. In fact, if only one oil storage tank in the ARCO supertanker were to spill',approximately three million gallons would be released; this is one-half of the total carrying capacity of a T-2 tanker and ten times the amount spilled in the spring of 1971 at the Texaco refinery in Anacortes. 1suppose the decision to use supertankers has been made by a cost-benefit analysis, but how did anyoneput a price tag on the precious biological bank of the Puget Sound? The sound is essentially a closedsystem, unlike the ocean, and if a major spill were to occur, oil could remain within the sound for years,hampering biological activity and recreational usage. The stakes are high in this game and the oilindustry needs to be strictly controlled by responsible government agencies on both sides of the border ifthe Puget Sound is going to survive the effects of man's addiction to oil products. Finally, after severallocal oil spills we are starting to see government action; but we should continue to see more action. Themeeting of Washington state Governor Dan Evans and British Columbia Premier W. A. C. (Wacky)Bennett was healthy, but has absolutely no legal significance since the national governments were notinvolved. Unlimited liability is a badly needed, but absent, feature of oil laws. With this type of liability theoil companies would be required to pay the full cost of an oil spill, no matter how high these costs run.Man has no right to jeopardize the health of the Puget Sound in the name of an expensive and dirty habit. Editor's Note: This is the second article in a series of three—next week spill clean-up procedures will beinvestigated.

Hitchies are criss-crossing thecountry, and enjoying the scenery from Illinois to San Francisco. What is a hitchie? It's a woodenreplica of a hitchhiker created by John Ramm, a ' Western art major. When hitchhiking was legalized inWashington on May 23, Ramm started 12 hitchies on trips to various destinations in the United Statesand Canada. The hitchies have a pocket full of postcards on their backs, and people who give them rides are asked to send Ramm a card informing him of his offsprings' progress. Ramm said presently he has heard from eight of his hitchies. Naomi Grunt got to San Francisco a week after she left Washington.Senworthy is resting in Evanston, Illinois after - a long ride across the nation. Drew spend a week at anauto body shop in McCleary, Washington learning the trade. , Ernie is on the Trans-Canada Highway.He crossed the border at Sumas and evidently had quite a bit of trouble proving his citizenship. Rammsaid the card he received states that Ernie had - "quite a hassle" crossing the border. Ramm said he isvery much against the new referendum to once again make hitchhiking . illegal. He said he is thinking .about making a "whole bunch" of hitchies as caricatures of political figures like President Nixon andChicago's Mayor Richard Daley. Letters to the editor Prof. Hicks gives reply Editor, The WesternFront: The story by your reporter Lysa Wegman in your issue of July 11 on the Faculty Geyser isnothing if not sophomoric. She may be Miss (or is it Ms?) Worldly Wise-woman of the Campus, but sheshows precious l i t t l e understanding of the complex workings of the government of the college. As amatter of fact, the Faculty Council's request of June 5 that the Board of Trustees call for the resignationof President Flora—an action taken only 11 days after the council's decision to poll the f a c u l t y—was indecently precipitate and represented the b a n k r u p t c y of educational statesmanshipamong the small majority of the council that voted "yes." The decision to poll was itself of dubiouswisdom. The circulation of petitions among the faculty might well have prompted the council to set upmachinery for negotiation between the president and the faculty. The results of the poll a l l the more c le a r ly demonstrated the need for such machinery. Instead, the council with amazing shortsightednessvoted in the final week of the academic year to vacate the office of the president. One may well wonder ifthe council had any awareness that Western has a future, not to speak of a past. C o n f l i c t betweenthe president and the faculty is no new development at Western. I have myself lived through two periods of such conflict. In each of these the faculty through its leaders initiated negotiations with the president,and the two parties managed to establish a modus vivendi that did not disrupt the administration of the in s t i t u t i o n and in itself represented something like a meeting of minds and a resolution ofgrievances. The more recent of these conflict situations occurred during the first year of James L.Jarrett's presidency in the winter and spring of the academic year 1959-60. Only two of the members ofthe Faculty Council of June 5 were on the campus at that time. This fact may explain in part the woefullack of f o r e s i g h t and especially hindsight in their action. The Faculty Council should have Group to seek info on Council request The circumstances leading to the Faculty Council's request for theresignation of College President Charles J. Flora will be investigated by an ad-hoc committee of the All-College Senate. The Board asked the Senate, the principal campus legislative body, composed offaculty, students and staff, to investigate the facts leading to the Faculty Council request. The Senatedecided during its meeting on July 10. to form a nine-man committee of five faculty members, including a professor emeritus, two students and one member each from the staff and administration. The methodof choosing the . members of the committee was not decided. It was agreed by the Senate that thetime for researching the report will extend past the date of the Board's meeting in August. Theformulation of the committee was to be concluded at the special Senate meeting on July 17. Photo byRON GRAHAM known that in 1959-60 the new president showed a perverse ingenuity in alienating hisfaculty and by the middle of the year had created a crisis in faculty morale. Something had to be done.Expressions of hostility by the circulation of petitions were not thought of, though hostility to thepresident was rampant. There was no suggestion of polling the faculty or requesting t h e Board ofTrustees t o fire the p r e s i d e n t. Instead, the existing machinery of negotiation between thepresident and the faculty was brought into action. A special meeting of the AAUP chapter was held onFebruary 8, 1960 at which a fourteen point statement of grievances was presented and debated and acommittee appointed to discuss the morale question with the president. On March 2 the presidentappeared before a meeting of the chapter and entered into fruitful dialogue with a large and representative group of the faculty. On May 24 the Faculty Forum passed a resolution to take up questions of tenureand promotion with the president. On June 6 a newly elected Faculty Council met, organized, andreadied itself for negotiation with the president. By Commencement Day the air had already begun toclear and the machinery for continuing negotiation with the president had been set up. By the opening of Fall quarter 1960 the president and the. faculty were able to take up the work of the new academic year in a cooperative spirit, and this hard won relationship of h a r m o n y and mutual understandingprevailed until the e n d of Dr. J a r r e t t 's administration four years later. Notable in all this strugglewas the resolution of both president and faculty to resolve it without recourse to the Board of Trustees,which in my opinion should be appealed to only as a last resort. The Faculty Council of June 5 grosslyerred in going to the board as a first resort. Arthur C. Hicks Emeritus Professor of English THREEDOORS SOUTH OF SHAKEY'S ON ~- N. STATE ST.

For the rest of us there are several ways to enjoy the islands. You cantake a tour from the air, spend a leisurely afternoon island-hopping on the ferry, or if you're lucky travelon your own boat. Regardless of how you travel, take a camera and plenty of film. You may be luckyenough to spot a pod of killer whales diving in the waves. That brown "log" that keeps bobbing under the water close to shore can easily turn out to be a sea lion fishing. The changing combinations of islands,water and sky create scenes that challenge anything Hollywood has to offer. And you haven't seen asunset until you see the San Juans s i l h o u e t t e d against the red-orange sky. Fish, clams,oysters, crabs and shrimp are plentiful and fun to catch. The salmon fishing is world-famous. If you catch anything unfamiliar, it is usually a good idea to check it out with one of the local fishermen before youeat it. Since there are 172 islands in the San Juans, it would take a long time to do everything and seeeverything they have to offer. However, there are a few places you don't want to miss when you start out. San Juan Island is the home of the famous "Pig War," where in 1858, the shooting of a pig owned bythe Hudson's Bay Company by an American settler almost started a war between the United States and Britain. The old English and American campsites have been made into a National Historical Park. Thisyear is the hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the dispute. The islanders are celebrating it with a "Pig War" Centennial, which lasts until September, with events every weekend. One of the highlightswill be the Rendezvous, which will be held July 29, at Friday Harbor. While . you're in Friday DeceptionPass-Spanning Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands. Just over the bridge is the entrance to the state park.Harbor, a nice side trip is a visit to the University of Washington Institute of Oceanography. Theirlaboratories are maintained for teaching and research in marine biology and related fields. It is knowninternationally for its scientific program. Scientists and students from all over the world gather here.During the summer session, it is open to the public from 2 to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.Across the channel from Friday Harbor is Orcas Island, the largest of the San Juans. Mo ran State Park, with an area of more than 4,000 acres is located here. You can drive t o i h e summit of Mt.Constitution, the highest point in the San Juans for an unparalleled view of the »San Juans, theCanadian Gulf Islands and the Cascade Mountains on the mainland. Cascade Lake, which is in thepark, offers some of the best trout fishing in the state. Picnic areas, campsites and trails are abundant.If you travel to the islands by ferry, you will stop at both San Juan and Orcas Islands, plus Shaw andLopez Islands. The ferry leaves from .Anacortes on Fidalgo Island. To get to Anacortes, take the Mt.Vernon exit on Interstate 5 and then take State Highway 536 to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal. CampusBriefs Student advisors needed for fail The 1972 Orientation Committee is putting together the StudentAdvisor staff for next year's freshmen. As an advisor you would: get to know the fifteen-or-so members ofyour freshman group, serve as a general counselor and sounding board, facilitate registration, introducefreshmen to their new environment, provide academic advisement during the year. The job will beginduring the September 23-26 Orientation days. There will be optional contacts with group membersthroughout the year, particularly during pre-registration time each quarter. In order to help advisorsthemselves feel comfortable, three training sessions are planned-July 18, August 1, and September 2 3 -t o further delineate responsibilities and to provide needed resources. It's a challenging job, and peopleare needed. Those interested should contact the Assistant Dean of Students Office, OM 2. Seattle CityLight tour of Ross Lake sponsored Sunday A Western-sponsored Seattle City Light tour of Ross Lake will take place this Sunday, July 23. The tour bus will leave from in front of the VU at 11 a.m., and will return at approximately 8 p.m. The tour cost of $5 includes dinner, transportation and the boat tour of RossLake.

The story unwinds through a series of false accusations, suspicions, andrevelations towards the climax. "Much Ado About Nothing" is a well-told love story, and telling the storyis Catrell's primary concern.

Computer Center Director Robert Holz; Assistant Director for Administration Dave Schlecht, Programmer Jack Veenstra,and Systems Analyst Doug Winterburn have all indicated they will be vacating Dave Schlecht, assistantdirector of the computer center. Jack Veenstra, programmer at the computer center. Mr. Toad strikesagain "The Art and Artistry of Toad and Company," is the title of the second discussion of the book of the quarter, "The Wind in the Willows," by Kenneth Grahame, at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the library presentationroom. Panel members include Lois Meyers, children's librarian for the Bellingham Public Library; HowardHarris of the anthropology department, Gene Vike of the art department and William Scott, documentslibrarian and moderator of the discussion. their Computer Center positions before next January. Holz who has been the Center's director since 1967, is resigning effective Nov. 1. "I'm just tired of the job," saysHolz, who has been struggling for several years to raise the salaries of the Computer Center staff. Hesays "it's time for me to step down and give someone else a chance" to tackle the salary crisis. Holzcites lack of support for higher education in the state government at Olympia^ as a s p e c i f i c reasonfor the inadequate salaries in the C o m p u t e r Center and throughout Western, but also s a y s hebelieves some administrators in the college hierarchy may hold some responsibility. He says thatwages outside the college in the computer p r o g r a m m i n g field have skyrocketed in recent years,and "we haven't been able to keep pace." This he says, coupled with a dim financial future for Western,could be the cause for the announced resignations in the Computer Center, and also for otherresignations which he expects will soon be announced. .Holz will continue to work part' time at Westernafter his resignation becomes final, probably working on Can-Am I, a proposed computer system linking Northwest Washington and some British Columbia colleges. Schlecht, who has been at Western since 1963, states that part of his reason tor leaving is because Holz is. "I've planned to resign for some time, but Bob's (Holz' ) resignation caused me to act," Schlect said. He said he'd only planned to stay atWestern for about 10 years when he first came. "I've been here nine years already " he said. Schlechtalso says a major reason for his decision to resign is inadequate salaries. "It's been a sore point for acouple of years. . . . It's been a year and a half since we've had a substantial raise." A l t h o u g hactually an a d m i n i s t r a t o r , Schlecht is currently being paid a civil service wage, and is beingpaid l e s s money a c t i n g as administrator than several of the people working under him. "Anytimeadministrators make less than the people they administer, something's really wrong," he says. "I thinkthis money problem is the college's fault. . . . there seems to be money around for new programs, butnot for raising salaries." Schlecht plans to go into the real estate business, mainly because "I've wanted to have my own business for a long time." Jack Veenstra says he's leaving Western for several r e a so n s . No room for advancement in the Computer Center as it now exists, the resignation of Holz andlack of a substantial salary have all convinced him to find another job. Veenstra also says there is nolonger any room for innovative work in the Center, because the 360 computer is being used to itsmaximum level, and there is no chance of the Center obtaining a new machine in the immediate future.He will be leaving for Boulder, Colorado to work on what he calls a "statistical package" for NEODATA,and will be getting "about a 20 per cent raise" in wages in the process. Systems Analyst DougWinterburn has also announced his resignation, but is currently on vacation and unavailable forcomment. Robert Holz, director of the computer center.

However,the move is not scheduled soon, according to Dr. Kenneth Jernberg, director of health services. Though"active negotiations" are under way, the clinic in Edens Hall will be. open as usual this fall. The Edenshall facility has been found to be architecturally unsuitable for use as a clinic because of its lowearthquake resistance, inadequate running water and ventilation, reasons related to the fact it was never meant to be used for medical purposes. Dr. Jernberg called the facility inadequate to handle thepresent number of patients, as well as unsuitable for practicing the best possible health care. But withinthe $106,000 a year budget of the health center, few alternatives are available. Rental of space at St.Luke's, where x-ray and lab facilities already exist, is favored by Dr. Jernberg. Duplication of these andother facilities on campus would be avoided and personnel would be available more hours. He said theprospective college clinic at St. Luke's would still be free to students and separate from the publichospital organization. Concerning student access to the new location he noted the movement of themajority of s t u d e n t s off campus concentrating just north of the college. St. Luke's would be closerto many of these people than the present location. In addition, a shuttle bus is in the planning stagebetween the campus and downtown. If it materializes, access would be i m p r o v e d for on-campusstudents. Western's health services are funded at approximately half: the per-student levels of Centraland Eastern Washington state colleges, and even a smaller beHingham business machines 1410Commercial 734-313?

One full time and two part time doctors are paid out of Western's health budget, along withregistered nurses and receptionists. The facility is supplied as best as possible.

Atpresent, after your wait you can get "treatment of acute problems, preventative health measures andhealth education," if you are a student who pays full tuition at Western.

If you are one of these people then Corbin Ball will make your dreamcome true. Plus, he'll pay you for it. B a l l is co n d u c t i ng psychological experiments on the effectsof alcohol on learning. The experiments are looking for physiological correlates on how learning isaffected by alcohol. The experiment takes two-and-one-half hours for two consecutive days. Thevolunteer spends the first hour drinking an alcoholic beverage and an hour and a half taking tests. Thesubject is kept naive about what or how much he is drinking for the sake of the experiment. While thesubject is drinking electrodes which lead to a polygraph machine are attached to certain parts of thesubject's body: the scalp, the forehead, ear, thumb and fingertips. The polygraph takes several p h y s io l o g i c a l graphs simultaneously. It measures brain waves, heart rate, heart rate variability, palmsweating, respiration and the amount of blood in the fingers. All these responses are measured forphysiological changes. The e x p e r i m e n t s are supported by a grant from the National Institute onAlcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and are under medical supervision. Directing the experiments is itsoriginator, Dr. Lowell Crow, of the psychology department. Ball was asked by Crow to be his researchassistant because of his interest in the polygraph. Subjects are paid $6 to participate in the experiment. Screening requirements include that the subject is 21, and that he has had experience with alcohol. I.D. is required. Great care is taken with the subject. He may stop drinking any time he wishes. "Ourprimary concern is for the subject's welfare; the experiment is secondary to that," Ball said. Subjects are always driven home and are required to stay at home for at least four hours, or until the effect wears off. A n y o n e interested in participating can contact Ball through the psychology office or at his office, 400 Miller Hall for more information. • I V l l i m i l W l l l l l l l l HORSESHOE CAFE DowntownBellingham WE NEVER CLOSE ! 3 B 3 ossaaa f FRUSTRATED?

T h e U n i t e d States government is beingasked for $7.5 million to set up the p r o g r a m , called Project Cam-Am-I. Western hopes to attainoperational costs for the first five years through the U.S. Office of Education, or a separate appropriation. Advocates of Can-Am-I say that the participating schools will be able to take over operative costs in the sixth year the program is functioning. The computer network and radio station would enable schools toshare computer-a s s i s t e d instruction and educational broadcasts. The helicopter shuttle servicewould allow freer movement of professors, guest speakers and learning materials. Over 64,000 studentswould benefit from the program, hopefully scheduled to begin this fall. Herbert Taylor, dean of facultyresearch, said that September would be the earliest date funding could be obtained. Taylor said hehopes the shuttle service can begin this fall on a trial basis with borrowed i helicopters. Experimentalcourses can be operating one year after funding is obtained, Taylor said. Conceivably, the project couldbe running at top efficiency by September,-1974. T h e t e c h n i q u e of computerized teaching is more effective in teaching subjects t h a t r e q u i r e much memorization, Taylor said. "For example, astudent can learn to speak a foreign language m o r e q u i c k l y using computer-assisted instruction.We make no pretence that this by itself can become higher education, but we do say it can handle thematerial that depends on drill and rote learning," Taylor added. The FM radio station, to be located inBellingham, will be able to broadcast over a radius of 65 miles, Taylor said. Transmission towers couldbe built on one of the San Juan Islands. Included in the plan with Western are the University of BritishColumbia, Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria, Vancouver City College, Capilano College, Douglas College, Camosun College in Victoria, Malaspina College in Nanaimo, and Washingtoncommunity colleges in Ferndale, Mount Vernon, Port Angeles, Everett and Edmonds. Taylor said thatputting the project into operation would be a major step toward cutting waste of money and space."Ultimately, what we're really concerned with is that t h e r e are universities and colleges so close toeach other who communicate very little, if at all," Taylor said. Mental Health resources available•P9*PPP9*a ETT EDMONDS The ages 18 to 21 may be the most confusing period of a collegestudent's life; a time when many students feel they need the help of one of the campus referral services. The problem of mental health and the college student was investigated last quarter by Margo VanWinkle, a Huxley College environmental health graduate. For a project in health education sheinterviewed Mary Robinson, the associate dean of s t u d e n t s ; the Rev. Paul Mangnano at theCampus Christian Ministry house; and Saundra Taylor, director of the counseling center. Thediscussions went on the premise that everyone is susceptible to ups and downs-in t h e i r mental state. The counselors all agreed that these types of mental anxieties were ' normal and natural occurrencesof any human being. Basically, the ministers at CCM point out to the student that they cannot solve hisproblems for him. A student has t o do it himself, Father Mangnano said. Saundra Taylor refers to theages of 18 to 21 as a transitional period. "Students start settling down in their sophomore and junioryears and start asking themselves about their future." It is a common complaint these days to find outthat friends who recently graduated with bachelor or master's degrees are now working at low payingjobs, with a high school education as the maximum requirement. Although the discussion with MaryRobinson was confidential, she also agreed with the counselors that too much emphasis is put on beinghappy, content and very sure of a position in society. This tends to depress a person who is questioning himself because he may think there is something wrong with him. A person is not going to be happyuntil he recognizes that it is necessary to reach out in order to achieve a good mental attitude. A personmust become involved insomething other than himself, he said. Of the cases seen by the counselingcenter last year, the majority were emotional problems followed by vocational and educational problems. The counseling center provides a resource for students who want to examine more thoroughly "who they are and where they are going, Taylor said. "It's important that college students realize everyone feelsdown at times. People have to stop thinking these problems are their exclusively. Everyone goes through it," Van Winkle said.

Skating at Western angers faculty, police By Kathryn Ellis THE WESTERN FRONT Western students see their campus as a mass of buildings and walkways, but to skateboarders of Bellingham the campus is an untapped frontier. Western's campus provides a location full of what skateboarders call "street skating". Street skating involves rails, walls, steps and anything else the skaters find challenging. "The campus is one of the best places to skateboard," said Zac Zamundio a Bellingham skater. "There are rails there people still haven't done." It is not easy to skateboard at Western. Two groups of people are vehemently opposed to this activity taking place on campus. Jim Vyvyan, a faculty member, in Western's chemistry department, is just one of the many professors that feels skateboarding doesn't have a place at Western. ••"I am really dismayed to see all the damage the skateboarders have done to the campus," said Vyvyan. "All the islands in Haskell plaza have scrapes and gouges," said Vyvyan referring to the area in front of the Biology and Chemistry buildings.

Goff is familiar with the feeling of alienation, however, when it comes to being outnumbered by Democrats. - .

Western students and faculty will have the opportunity to donate blood from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday though Thursday in the Fairhaven Lounge and at the Blood Center's mini-mobile on the east side of Carver Gym. "The mini-mobile was added because the Fairhaven Lounge is a little more out of the way for most students," said Catharine Vader, blood drive program coordinator for the Prevention and Wellness Center. This blood drive is the first of three drives this year sponsored by both centers. This is the 25th year the Prevention and Wellness Center and the Puget Sound.

Maybe it's more than a tire problem From the beginning of the tire recall, Firestone has been blamed for accidents that killed 101 Americans. A Washington Post analysis of national and Florida crash statistics shows the Ford Explorer has a higher rate of tire-related accidents than other sport-utility vehicles — even when the popular SUV is equipped with Goodyear tires. The finding suggests that something about the Explorer may contribute to these accidents.

By Greg Woehler THE WESTERN FRONT On Aug. 14, Marguerite "Zite" Hutton, chair of Western's accounting department, was one of two professors nationwide awarded the American Taxation Association/Arthur Andersen Teaching Innovation Award. She received $2,500 for the award, which was presented in Philadelphia at the annual luncheon for the American Accounting Association, the parent group of the ATA. She was recognized for her imaginative methods in teaching Accounting 471, Tax Research and Planning. "It's really a fun class," Hutton. On a teacher evaluation for the class, a student once wrote, 'I've never worked so hard for a class and had so much fun." "That's my all-time favorite evaluation," Hutton said, smiling. She said she attempts to create a "real world environment" for students by having them work in groups on simulated tax cases created by Pricewater- houseCoopers, an international accounting firm. Hutton said each group works on the same case. Hutton chooses the groups of students based on their answers to a 'background questionnaire. She asks questions about the courses each student has already taken and their work experiences. These questions help Hutton make sure each group has members with a variety of experiences and interests. Though each group works on the same case, Hutton said she never receives "carbon copy answers." "They are each trying to find the best solution to the particular problems, but arrive at answers in radically different Angela D. Smith/vThe Western Front ways," she said. Collaboration is important in the class, not only among the four individuals in each group, but also among different groups. Hutton said she doesn't grade on a curve, which takes away the potential competition among groups. Before the groups turn in their project to Hutton, students must submit their work for peer reviews. Other class members critique the work, but only if they can offer solutions to the problems they find. Both parts of the review process are done anonymously, meaning only the individual's work is being criticized, not the individual. Professors around the country are using Hutton's technique, including one colleague at Old Dominion University. Hutton has been an associate professor at Western since 1989. She said the ATA notified her in May that she had won the award but it wasn't announced to other members of the association until the luncheon. / Opening Night 1ST NIGHT Saturday, October 14th • 7:00 pm How Near the End Are We?

The yearly educational program is designed to inform participants about the signs and symptoms of depression and to help them decide if they would benefit from a more complete mental evaluation. The two-hour screening sessions began with a short lecture about symptoms and treatments of depression. After a question-and-answer period, individuals were given the opportunity to discuss the results of a self- evaluation with a mental health professional and receive referral information for further evaluation if needed. "We put signs around the community in hopes that anybody who thinks they have depressive symptoms, or has a friend who might have depressive symptoms, would come on in," Sharon Chandler, a nurse on the mental health unit at St. Joseph, said. "Depression is a very common illness," said Dr. Hank Levine, a psychiatrist from Bellevue who spoke at one of the two screenings. "Clinical depression affects 17 million people in this country each year," Levine said. "Only about half of those people seek treatment. The rest suffer in silence." "Unfortunately, the screening doesn't come at a good time for Western students because it's right when school is starting back up," Chandler said. "We've been talking about holding a screening on campus, possibly this month," she said. Chandler said she was surprised at the low turnout this year.. In past years, up to 40 people showed up for the screening sessions. This year, only about 20 people showed up for screening. "I was hoping to see more students from the university," sai Jessica Richter, a mental health specialist at St. Joseph's and Western graduate. "Depression is so prevalent," Chandler said. "But people are busy, and there's a lot of denial where people just think, 'This is the way I am, this is the way life is. I'm not depressed, I'll snap out of it."' Treatment options, such as antidepressants and psychotherapy, offer hope for those suffering from depression, Levine said. ATUS fixes computer problem, helps students Western Republicans set to act From GOP, Page 1 "I come from a house full of democrats," Goff said. "There are only two Republicans in my family. I don't know how that happened." Goff said his organization's main concern right now is the election. The club plans to set up information tables and put up stickers and posters around campus treasurer A.J. Strauss said. "After the elections are over, we'll figure out what to do next," Goff said. Two guests at the group's Wednesday meeting, Eugene Goldsmith and his wife Yvonne spoke about their involvement in the election. Eugene Goldsmith, former State Representative for the 42nd District, said education is a priority on this year's agenda. "This college, for the money, is the biggest bang you're going to get for your buck," Eugene Goldsmith said. Whatcom Community College student Mary Eckhoff asked Eugene Goldsmith what he thought about free college for students. Eugene Goldsmith said he did not favor the idea. "If it's free, how much emphasis would we put on it?" he said. Yvonne Goldsmith, former mayor of Ferndale, voiced her disapproval of the presidential debate and of the adversary, Al Gore. She recounted her frustration while listening to the debate on the radio. "I'm sitting in the car listening to the debate and I turn to Gene and say T'm glad you turned that off because I'm about to rip it out,'" she said. "If we do not win this election, as far as I'm concerned, it's gonna be hell for the next 40 years," Yvonne said. "College Students: earn $30- $40/hrpart time!

From ATUS, Page 1 appear to have been resolved, ATUS Director Dr. Larry Gilbert said. The login delays ranged from five seconds to 10 minutes, he said. Despite the massive delays and locked programs, the ATUS Help Desk has seen its smoothest quarter in manager Mike Massey's five years in the office, he said. "Lines are shorter and moving faster than ever," Massey said. He said the reason is higher efficiency at the help desk, rather than fewer calls for assistance. Last year the help desk recorded 3,500 contacts in September and 4,700 in October. Though all the numbers haven't been pulled together yet, the desk is looking at the same number of calls' or more in both months this year, Massey said. The source of this quarter's problem was the Novell Applications Launcher program. For an unknown reason, it conflicted with other programs, Gilbert said. Once the Novell Applications Launcher was isolated as the source of the problem, ATUS relocated it on the server, apparently resolving the conflict, he said. The aplication launcher provides students access to resources all across campus, Gilbert said. ATUS isolated the program as the source of difficulties by removing it from the system and checking to see if the delays and other problems subsided. Though everything has been running smoothly since Wednesday's modifications, ATUS continues to monitor the situation. ATUS is runs management software that regularly reports network status . in order to assure the problem does not persist and no new ones arise, Gilbert said.

Western consortium looks at apparel labor standards By Hollie Joy Brown THE WESTERN FRONT Western may join the Workers Rights Consortium, a group created in 1999 out of a student anti-sweatshop movement to monitor working conditions in factories producing apparel products Linda Beckman, division director of budget and administration, said.. Last spring, Western's Task Force on Workers Rights was looking into changing Western's membership from the Fair Labor Association to the WRC, Beckman said. Beckman will be forming a study group this fall to discuss it again, she said. Western could join the WRC, Beckman said, but it is an institutional decision. "The FLA has the same goals of the WRC." she said. The differences between the FLA and the WRC are the type of members each holds and how monitoring is done, Beckman said. The FLA allows corporations to be members whereas the WRC tries to exclude them, Beckman said. Monitoring and inspections could be done differently, she said. Originally, the students of the task force wanted to join WRC because they didn't want to be a member of an organization that had corporations as members, Beckman said. After comparing the two organizations, the task force decided the FLA would be more effective, Beckman said.

"The goal of AUAP is to broaden an international perspective of Asia University students," said Bill Pech, Director of Asia University -America Program Center for International Studies and Programs. "Western also benefits greatly from this program because it has enabled us to internationalize the student population," Pech said. "AUAP students have been significant presents from Japan." AUAP students usually live with American roommates in on-campus housing. Japanese students have had little experience with roommates in Japan, but AUAP student Maki Sakamoto said she gets along with her American roommate very well. AUAP students receive help from a group of Western students called Peer Advisors. "I like this job because I get paid making friends," said Lend Neumainer, AUAP Peer Advisor. Neumainer said she spends 19 hours per week with her nine AUAP students. Yuko Naito and Taro Teshigawara enjoy lunch at the Viking Commons. The Asia University America Program students said they have started to grow tired of American cuisine. She said the goal for students is to make American friends, to learn about American life and to have a good experience. Neumainer meets every Monday with her students. They play some games to get to know each other and speak English. Neumainer said she plans to take her students to Seattle and Canada. She also said she hopes to help them take part in some American activities, such as shooting firearms and snow sports. "I think this program is very good," AUAP student Hitomi Nishiyama said. "Sometimes it is too good. We might be spoiled because we can rely on our advi-sor. Nishiyama said she should do more things by herself to learn English. She said she applied to this program not only to have an experience, but also to improve her English. Pech said Nishiyama's anxiety is common, but the program tries to minimize it. "The program offers students a lot of support, but the program also challenges students to try things by themselves." Pech said. "Students' attitudes are totally changed in the end of program," said Heather Johnson, who works in student services. Daniel J. Peters/ The Western Front "They become independent and their fear is definitely redueed." Pech said the program also tries to create more opportunities for AUAP students to interact with Americans. "Our goal is to make the curriculum here, to give students opportunities students can't have in Japan," Pech said. "We hope the curriculum creates many opportunities as possible for interaction." Western students requested to donate blood, help relieve crisis From BLOOD, Page 1 out to hospitals as it "is ordered. "In the Puget Sound, there is a need for 800 pints of blood a day," Dentel said. Western typically receives around 400 pints of blood during the three-day blood drive. The goal for this blood drive is 370 pints, according to Dentel. The goal is based on last year's spring blood drive, when the Blood Center received 311 pints of blood. Donors are asked to arrive in early in the day to avoid the afternoon rush. The blood draw lasts seven minutes, but donors must also go though a health screening. The process takes about one hour. "If they want to ,have a good experience, the most important thing is that they don't', drink caffeinated beverages," Dentel said. "The rcaffeine will constrict their blood vessels ... also they need to eat something." According to the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates blood banks, donors also must be at least 18 years old, healthy and weigh at least 110 pounds. "Seventy percent of people will need blood or a blood product sometime in their lifetime," Vader said. Currently the Puget Sound Blood Center is running near emergency levels on two blood types, and needs all other types as well. "We should donate all year long, not just during the holiday season," Vader said: Western's Prevention and Wellness Center reports that each pint of blood donated can save the lives of three people. "Each pint is broken into three components of plasma, platelets and red blood cells," Vader said. "Patients only receive the blood component they require for treatments such as cancer therapy, surgery or trauma injuries." . - . Vader said she feels that if a person wants to give back to the community, donating blood is a wonderful way to do it.

He endured the usual ups and downs of child rearing and the hardship of raising girls in what he considers today's media-driven misogynistic culture. But Kelly did not sit at home crossing his fingers, hoping the messages encouraging girls to strive for superhuman ideals somehow would pass his daughters by. Instead, his objective is to ensure those messages are condemned. Kelly is the executive director of Dads and Daughters, a national non profit advocacy group dedicated to strengthening the bonds between dads and their daughters and dispelling the myths of the female ideal they say millions of women believe and die from everyday. The recent death of Kelly's Dads and Daughters co-worker Heather Henderson, at the age of 27 brought to light the reality of how deadly these concerns are. Henderson battled bulimia for 11 years before suffering a fatal heart attack due to complications from her disease. "I'm sad, but I'm also very angry," Kelly said. "Her life and her death are an incredible indictment of what our culture does to girls." Individuals must confront the media and take responsibility for the lies shaping girls, Kelly said. "The culprit is this culture," he said. "When I indict the culture, I indict myself. Silence is not an option." Kelly used several teen magazine advertisements to illustrate his point. An ad for a padded bra, depicting a tanned woman with bulging breasts, read "Inner beauty only goes so far." The image served as the anti-slogan of his speech. "I show this ad is because it's emblematic," Kelly said. It kind of crystallizes all the messages that rain down hundreds of. times a day." Girls are not the only ones being deceived, Kelly said, adding boys also are misled by the rail- thin, poreless images of women they are bombarded with daily. He told the story of a boy who, when breaking up with his girlfriend, gave the reason that she was only a seven or an eight and his dating standard was a 10. "He may spend the rest of his life seeking something that is impossible to find," Kelly said, "and he's denying himself his true purpose in life, which is to connect spiritually to another human being." Men's magazines increasingly follow the lead of women's, to the detriment of young boys, Kelly said. Men's Health, which he added has little to do with health and reads more like a male version of Seventeen, creates unattainable physical standards for young men. "How we look is overwhelmingly determined by our genetics. There is no ideal weight. That's baloney." Kelly said. Kelly said men who care about women are important because fathers "set the norm." He said he feels it is particularly important to daughters because they look to see if Dad reinforces the statement "inner beauty only goes so far." Candy Wiggum, a psychologist at Western's Counseling Center, has studied the impact fathers have on the emotional well-being of their daughters. "I think dads play a really important part in their daughters' development, as far as feeling respected and respectable, " she said. Sheila Havens accompanied her father, Steve, to the workshop at the Brigid Collins House. 'T thought it was really good to hear, and exciting to hear a father talk about things I've only heard women talk about," Havens said. Kelly will speak at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11 at St. Luke's Community Health Center. Pre-registration for this free workshop is required, so call (360) 738-6701 to attend, or for more information call the counseling center at (360) 650-3164.

Another reads, "we want a skatable park." The Bellingham Skate Park opened about three weeks ago, giving skaters a long awaited place to skateboard and rollerblade. Many, however, are unsatisfied with the park's features. Jason Snow, co- owner of Alliance Skateboard Snowboard Shop, said he is displeased with the park's design. Snow said he feels the design is not up to par, because he believes it isn't modern enough. "A lot of the park is not skatable," Snow said. "The walls are too steep to do anything on. It's just wasted space." Snow said the majority of the complaints he has heard about the park come from the youth who use it. 'It's like needing a pair of pants, and your mom goes and buys you some from Kmart, and then makes you wear them," Snow said. "The whole point is that the kids should get what they really want." Park visitor Greg Keefe, 18, said he likes the park, but the transitions between elements in the design need to be smoother. 'It's like needing a pair of pants, and yow worn^oe a^bAty ypu some from 'Kmartt'tin ihert'fndkes you wear them.' Jason Show Co-owner of Alliance'' Keefe said he also thinks a partial roof should cover some of the park when it rains. Snow said he also was disappointed there wasn't much room for suggestion. "By the time they had the community meetings, everything was already done and I couldn't attempt to input anything," Snow said. Jonathan Schilk, Bellingham Parks and Recreation's landscape architect, said that when Parks and Recreation held meetings at the park site, skaters in the community requested the removal of some of the park's features, and Parks and Recreation obliged. "There were supposed to be a volcano, loveseat, stairway and inclined rail, which Takuya Waters/The Western Front Jason Bas rocks to fakie on the spinewall. were all taken out at the request of the skaters," Schilk said. Schilk said he thinks Parks and Recreation did the best they could considering the rules and guidelines they had to stay within. State law required Parks and Recreation to accept the lowest bid from a contractor willing to build the park. The lowest offer came from Colacurcio Brothers Construction Company, Inc., of Blaine. The park, was designed by Pukiss-Rose, R.S.I. of Pullerton, CaL, who hired a professional skater on staff to assist with the designing process. Schilk said the park's construction budget was $270,000; $18,000 coming from donations and the rest from taxes. Since so much funding came from taxpayer pockets, Schilk said the city had an obligation to.keep costs down/This, he said,_ is why not all of the suggested changes to the park's design were made. "When you make a set of plans and then change it, you're hit with additional costs by the contractors," Schilk said. "We were caught in a difficult spot." Both Schilk and Marvin Harris, Bellingham Parks and Recreation's interim- park director, said they think the park is a success. • "It's impossible to please everyone," Schilk added. "We were able to please most people, and if we do "that,then:.'we're successful." . *;..'•' .'" "V'..-'":• ,-v';' /sy-jSi^ -Field does the trash pickup,~ there hasn't been much problem with keeping the park clean. ' . Harris said he feels -Parks and Recreation's main problem is the graffiti now covering much of the park. "We are going to install a water line in the park so we can continue to remove graffiti as it occurs," Harris said. A few of the skaters disapprove of some of the graffiti. Devin Kain, 17, thinks some of the complaints written about the park and its design are "lame." Kain also appreciates some of the park's graffiti. " T h e more artistic graffiti is cool, and makes it easier to see the ground and make the landings. It also makes it more of a hometown skate park," he said. Besides comments about the park's design, Kain and Keefe think a few additions should be made to the park, such as a portable toilet, a pop machine and lights so they can continue to skate at night. \ The park is open from 8 a.m. to dusk, which in winter will come as early as 4 p.m. Kain foresees the shorter hours as a problem with crowding, since the time between the school day ending and the park closing will be shortened to a couple of hours. Harris said Parks and Recreation doesn't have any events scheduled yet, but is willing to work with skate shops to set up competitions. Snow said he plans on arranging a competition or contest after the locals have a chance to get used to the park, but would like to see Parks anil Recreation plan something. "The major concern, however, is that the park stay open for the general public," Harris said. Though the skaters and Parks and Recreation officials don't see eye-to-eye on many things, both agreed the most important thing is the park's existence. "It's not the most ideal design, but its there," Snow said. "We have a place to skate and that's what's important." Takuya Waters/The Western Front Skaters complain many walls in the new park are too steep, and transitions too abrupt. Fuel for the i Viking 29 showcases TPV power generation Jennifer Collins THE WESTERN FRONT Hollywood generally depicts futuristic cars as flying, supercharged versions of today's vehicles. . As founder and director of Western's Vehicle Research Institute, Michael R. Seal has overseen the design and production of the "cars of the future" for the last three decades. Aside from their sleek, sports-car design and technical titles, the cars differ entirely from the Hollywood recipe. None of his cars fly. Well, at least not yet. One of the VRI's latest creations, the Viking 29, will be featured in the Whatcom County Museum's "Up to Speed: A Century of Cars" exhibit. It will be on display until Jan. 21 in the Arco Building on Prospect Street, Western's made-from- scratch classic of the future is the finale of an exhibit dedicated to the classics of the past. The Viking 29's glossy green Fiberglas body reflects striking accent lights and appears poised and ready to start its engine. "It looks like a sports car and drives like one too," Seal said with a chuckle, as he discussed the numerous innovative* vehicles designed by the VRI on Sunday at the Whatcom Museum. Described by the Society of Automotive Engineers as "one of the. 10 best faculty advisors in the nation," Seal earned his masters in education from Western in 1967. He went on to earn his doctorate in education from Texas A M in 1970. A self-proclaimed car enthusiast, Don Athens described the Viking 29 as a "work of art." Automobile engineers and enthusiasts alike questioned Seal on the Viking 29's intricate workings.

Members of CONTACT (The Center for Ontological Action) disagree. Matthew Thuney, director of CONTACT, explained humans are indeed in contact with beings from beyond the normal realm of experience. Some members of the organization attest to their own personal encounters. CONTACT was formerly known as the Bellingham UFO .Croup. Members study phenomena such as near-death experiences, UFO and Sasquatch sightings and psychic incidents. Since ontology is the study of the essence of being, CONTACT studies the way these phenomena affect people. "There are really two groups of people," Thuney said. "One looks at evidence and data, and the other looks at the importance of the data to us as humans." He said CONTACT studies both, but focuses more on the latter. 'It's not good science to say somethings not happening simply because it can't happen.•'• Matthew Thuney £ Bigfoot Believer CONTACT also has an anonymous fiencid sightings- r " ,• -: •- Stephen Harvey, director of the Vancouver Sasquatch Society in Canada, : spoke about his work Saturday at Western's Library. Harvey organizes the annual Sasquatch Symposium, where experts and eyewitnesses gather to share their information and experiences. During Harvey's presentation, a few eyewitnesses shared their experiences and Bigfoot sightings. Jason Valenti recalled his June 1996 sighting in Apalachicola National Forest, just outside of Tallahassee, Fla. Valenti said he had been studying to become a minister in Florida, but after his sighting, he could no longer be a Christian. "It totally shattered my whole belief system," Valenti said. Valenti said he and a friend were in his car when the sighting occurred, and at one point his car was within four feet of a blonde, female sasquatch. He said he was sure the bigfoot was a female, because it "had breasts that hung down to her waist," along with "typical feminine wide hips" and an "hourglass figure.'' Valenti said a week after the Sasquatch sighting, his friend saw a UFO and believes the two events were connected. Yvonne Moore spoke about her encounters with a sasquatch by the name of Orvin. She said her encounters were paranormal. Moore said she contacts, sasquatches in other realms and has not yet seen one in this (the third) dimension. She said Orvin told her sasquatches exist mainly in the fifth and sixth dimensions, and can dematerialize from the third dimension into another. Orvin also told her sasquatches dematerialize when they die, which is why no bones have yet been discovered on Earth. Moore said she has two high-energy vortexes in her back yard where she and Orvin communicate. "Sasquatches are working in the yal-leyB'fbrt^ said. 'They're trying to put energy back into the soil." The group discussed other paranormal possibilities with sasquatches, such as astral traveling and communication on a psychic plane. One woman suggested Sasquatches have higher vibrations and are still there, but are not visible. Harvey said many people who have had encounters explain a type of mental telepathy between the bigfoot and the individual. Both Harvey and Thuney said they think people need to look beyond the sphere of reality, accept the physical evidence that has been found and believe in eyewitness testimony. "It's not good science to say something's not happening simply because it can't happen," Thuney said. "It doesn't do us a lot of good to exist in denial." At the Sasquatch Symposiums, experts and eyewitnesses from various regions bring testimony and paraphernalia, such as photographs, molded footprint castings and occasional hair samples. In 2001, the Sasquatch Symposium will take place in Bellingham in two different sessions. The first, in late September, will cover the biological evidence found in bigfoot research. The second, in early November, will emphasize the paranormal. Harvey encourages anyone who is interested to attend.

Departments of Energy P began funding the L development of the 1994, with two grants 5.4 million. The money is year and the VRI is another grant from the _ of Energy. Without W grants, the institute will not be able to continue its work, Seal said. Despite the strong emphasis on research, Seal said his primary goal for the VRI remains "to train students" in the automotive industry. After all, he said, his students originally proposed the idea of building ah experimental car in 1971. The result of his students' ambition and persistence was Viking 1, which placed third in a car design competition at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Michigan in 1972. With that event and the many that followed, the VRI repeatedly proved itself to be on the cutting edge of experimental car design. Innumerable awards, - company contracts, and grants later, the institute remains at the head of the pack, drawing students from all over the world to study on Western's campus. In addition to their regular course work, students are now working on four projects for automotive competitions this school year, , Seal said. Former student, Ed West came back to the VRI to teach automotive design while he works on his master's degree at the University of Washington. Because of the "hands-on aspect of education" at the VRI, West said he feels, "students get a running start in the industry." Student Jai Prasad was attracted to the VRI because of the large variety of equipment in the research lab. "I know of Boeing or GE employees who have come to our shop and who said they only have one of the machines we have," said Prasad. Mario Treit, owner of the Portland, Or. based General Aviation Services, plans to break the world record for land speed. He tested car bodies in the VRI's wind tunnel to discover the most suitable to achieve his goal of 550 miles per hour next year at a competition at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. At such high speeds, Treit said his main concern for the vehicle is that it doesn't lift off the ground. Ironically, Treit said his goal for his car of the future is that it doesn't fly. "Every bit of information we gather here is information we wouldn't have without Dr. Seal's facility," Treit said. Many students who study at the VRI originally want to design cars that will reach higher speeds, Seal said. His goal, he said, is to make students concerned about cars' environmental effects, and design cars that will have cleaner emissions or use alternative forms of fuel.

With the victory, the Vikings improved their record to 5-1. \ "We knew we were better Scott Mitchell hits Sean Ryan for a touchdown. than these guys both physically and mentally on the field, and we showed that today," quarterback Scott Mitchell said. Western's first drive ended when the Mustangs recovered a Giorgio Usai fumbled. Western's defense came up big as Lance Gustafson sacked the Mustangs' quarterback Coby Crouch, forcing a punt. Erik Totten returned the punt to the Western 29. Three plays later, Mitchell connected with Greg Dykstra on a 71- yard touchdown pass. "We had a sluggish start, but picked things up," offensive run coordinator Scott Hodgkinson said. "It was good to see u s continue to get better, as we've done each week." Western stopped Western New Mexico's next drive in five plays. Totten returned the punt-41 yards. The Mustang defense held and Western had to settle for a 43-yard field goal.

Sean Ryan's five-yard touchdown reception. On the reception, Ryan tore his anterior cruciate ligament. Recovery time is estimated between three weeks to a year, depending on how serious the injury is. Western's defense continued to shut the Mustangs out, helped by Andy Linscott's interception and Dan Ball's forced fumble in the second quarter. The second half began with Totten setting up the first Viking score by returning a punt 49 yards, leading to a five-yard touchdown pass from Mitchell to Dykstra. Totten's punt return put him in Western's record book as he passed the single season punt return yardage record for both a single game and for a season in the season's sixth game. Following Dykstra's touchdown catch, the Vikings recovered an on-side kick. Six plays later, they reached the end zone again on Mitchell's 13-yard pass to Nate Kuhns.

"As a team, we easily won the competition," head coach Bill Roe said. "I'm very happy on the men's side, and the women ran a lot better as well; both ways we've improved." Junior Zach Boteilho led the Viking men, finishing fifth, with a time of 33:46. ' I t was a good team performance," Boteilho said. "Everyone ran a good pace."

The Vikings' record improved to 15-5 overall and 8-0 in the PacWest Western Division. On Friday, the Vikings took an 11-2 lead in the opening game, fighting a six-point MSU surge to win 15-10. "That was just a string of points we wound up giving them," coach Diane Flick said. The Vikings took a quick lead in the second game, but the Yellowjackets kept the score close, exchanging possession of the ball 18 times before Western scored the next point. Western won the second game 15-11. The Yellowjackets took a 2-1 lead at the beginning of the third game, their only lead of the evening. The Vikings soon recovered the lead, winning 15-11. Flick said part of Western's performance Friday night was mental preparation. "We just didn't quite get our engine started this evening," Flick said. "It took us awhile to get going." Outside hitter Nicola Parker said maintaining a high energy level was part of the Vikings' trouble Friday night. 'There's always room for improvement ,and I think we had room for a lot tonight," Parker said. Saturday night the Vikings played Western New Mexico. The Vikings and Mustangs tied the first game at eight points before the Mustangs took a 9-8 lead, their only lead of the evening. The Vikings won 15-9. Western dominated the second game, winning 15-5 with the help of four service aces by outside hitter Donja Walker. The Vikings also controlled the third game by scoring five straight points, winning 15-9. Walker, who served six aces in the first two games, said she thought the Vikings played well Saturday night.

"We controlled the ball real well tonight, Walker said. "They threw a lot of slop over to us and we took care of it."

Power tripper, former head of the CIA and oil tycoon George Bush and his advisors thought it would be great to free Kuwait after Saddam Hussein took control of it. It was Bush's public relations dream. After a quick and effective destruction of Iraq's infrastructure and military force, he could once and for all rid himself of his "wimp" nickname. He could reinstate America as the supreme super-power on Earth by showing the world and our taxpayers how bad-ass our military really is. Last and most importantly, he could keep American oil companies operating in the Middle East without threat from .Hussein. If Americans did not have interest in Middle Eastern oil, Desert Storm would never have happened. The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait would not have been a big enough concern to launch a full-scale offensive. Similar to Hussein, Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic led the Serbians into war. The American press gave the story tons of publicity because of the atrocious "ethnic cleansing" Milosevic condoned. Since the region produces no export that America buys enough of to justify fighting a big war, America did not launch a military campaign with a clever name. It just bombed the country a couple times to keep NATO happy. When it was clear America was winning Desert Storm, Hussein set his oil fields on fire. If he couldn't keep the oil, he wasn't going to give it to the United States. Eventually our military put out the fires and gained control of the oil fields. The Iraqi no-fly zone is above those same oil fields. This means Iraqi planes can't even fly over southern Iraq; they can't fly over the oil fields they set on fire. Oil powers American cars. Driving down the highway in a gasoline-powered engine is fun, but an engine with the same capabilities exists without the gas. Toyota and Honda finally made production cars that run on both electricity and gas. Oil heats many American houses.

Yahoo pays to print an ad and gets desired result This is not a retraction. Yahoo!, the popular search engine, e- mail and "messenger" company, paid The Western Front some money to print an ad insert in the Welcome Back edition. This ad degraded women, or so the authors of recent letters to the editor say, because it suggested they are "merely objects of sexuality. Fair enough. Advertising does not always please its viewers, and the advertisment in question was meant to shock, offend and be remembered. It is. not positive, inclusive or empowering in any way. It alienated half of this campus, but it made a few others laugh. And everyone paid attention. If this ad were on television or radio, would it have caused such a stir? Would people stop watching their "Must-See TV" if NBC aired an equivalent commercial? Not iikely. Advertising bounces from station to station, magazine to magazine, paper to paper. It's safe to assume The Western Front was not the only student publication in America to print the now- infamous "she's taking her top off' ad. But The Front sure is getting a lot of attention. Did anyone write to Yahoo? Has anyone hunted down the agency who conceived this ad? The Front and its editorial staff did not run this ad or even know of its existence until the paper was in the hands of the community. The advertising department thought it would be a good idea if Western had a newspaper and was able to fund it by printing "advertisements" in said newspaper. Advertising, whether it offends or enthralls, works. Yahoo is still going strong, probably stronger than before thanks to this over-exposure. Western students still use the many services Yahoo provides. This does not mean The Front supports or condones an ad that degrades women. Most of the women and men on the staff reflected the feelings of the campus: some didn't like it, some thought it was funny, others didn't really care. And the root of the problem is apathy. An advertising department representative was quoted as saying "that's how society is." It's a poor excuse — but with truth behind it. Like it or not, Yahoo reached an audience, possibly in the minority, who actually enjoyed its debauchery. 'That's how society is." Advertising will continue. People will have problems with it. When this instance is long forgotten, something else will come by and evoke controversy. Choose to give a damn. Burn copies of the advertisement. Work to end sexism. And hell yeah, write letters to The Front. But don't kill the messenger. Especially if she (and he) is on your side.

The case of Ferguson vs. City of Charleston was presented to the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday and a decision is now pending. The case involves 10 women suing the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The women, while hospitalized for prenatal care 10 years . ago, were given drug tests under suspicion of the hospital staff. When their urine showed traces of illegal drugs, their test results were turned over to the police, who then arrested and jailed the women. Levern Edwards, one of 30 women arrested and one of the 10 suing, said she was arrested right after giving birth to her 'MUSC's arrest policy took effect in October 1989, perhaps to strike the fear of God in any pregnant women and in a poor attempt to eliminate all drug use.' son, according to The State, a South Carolina newspaper. "I didn't even see him until he was, like, eight weeks old," Edwards said. This happened because South Carolina is the only state that considers a fetus to be a.child and protects it under child abuse laws. Is this justice? Defining a fetus to be a living human being and protecting it under child abuse laws is ridiculously absurd; This puts the rights of an unborn fetus before those of a woman carrying it. Such laws are a step in the wrong direction, a small step toward taking away a woman's right to choose. According to The Newbury House Dictionary, a fetus is the developed embryo in a human or other mammal. Newbury House defines a child to be a young human being between the stages of birth and puberty. Perhaps a pregnant woman exposed to nicotine smoke should be arrested because the smoke could potentially harm her fetus. Would smoking around a pregnant woman be considered child abuse? Perhaps maternity clothes with "no smoking" signs on them would be a good idea. Better yet, pregnant women could be put under close supervision of a state employee for nine months. This way, they would have no chance of screwing up. Then again, maybe the state's money and employees' time would be better invested in helping and protecting South Carolina's currently living, See VOTERS, Page 11 Late-night dementia making newsroom sexually ambivolent Lisa Curdy CURD'S WAY A friend of mine and I were pondering the oddity of sexual tension and relations over chilies reUenos and fajitas the other night. lt; Why is" it, we thought, the guys we work with call us by our last names? It began at the beginning of the quarter. As time has progressed, the male-female relationship that all males and females have has been replaced by a eunuch lifestyle. Curdy. That's me. Hey, Curd, Curdster, Curdarino, that's what they say. I am a nameless, sexless being who governs over our newsroom. As if this wasn't enough of a blow to my strong sense of feminine sexuality, the males take it one step further, perhaps as a welcome to this new realm of non-sexuality. At about 3 a.m., all hell breaks loose. Strange noises from some males' nether-regions are expelled as if ladies were not in the room. But we are, alas, as if only nameless, sexless beings. As the boys' aromatic arses emit noisy SOSs to the other males around them (to me, it's like a wolf calling to his pack), I realize: There is a boundary, perhaps a tension, that must be released when you work in such close quarters. Using first names is too personal — could I even say too sexual? So remove those titles full of our femaleness. Goodbye, cur-vacious and witty Lisa Marie. Hello, amoeba Curd. Turning an office of co-workers into just a collection of heated bodies may be necessary in the making of a successful newsroom. I harken back to yesteryear, when people — but not me — at my community college newsroom took turns with each other, as if we were a brothel instead of the creator of a fine publication. And I begin to understand ... removing my name removes my appeal as a woman, a shiny-haired, good-smelling, cute-looking girl. So, if only for the peace of the newsroom and the fact that the world is overpopulated, I welcome the use of my last name as a viable alternative in addressing me. Curdy. Kind of like old milk. I can get used to that — I just hope the newsroom boys don't go vegan. ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Page 15 ---------- October 10, 2000 Opinions The Western Front • 15 From PATIENTS, Page 14 breathing children. Whatever happened to patient confidentiality? Were the women illegally searched without a warrant when their urine was tested for drugs? According to The State, yes, they were illegally searched. The hospital clearly acted against the Fourth Amendment by releasing the patients' confidential test results to the police and having the women arrested. According to The State, MUSC insisted the arrests were a "special needs exception" to the Fourth Amendment. Is the ACLU involved in this one?' MUSC's arrest policy took effect in October 1989, perhaps to strike the fear of God in any pregnant women and in a poor attempt to eliminate all drug use. Unfortunately, the most likely scenario was the "evil", drug- using, pregnant women who knew about the policy abstained from seeking prenatal care, thus harming themselves and their babies. That in itself could be considered child abuse under South Carolina law. Abetter approach to eliminate high numbers of pregnant drug users would have been using the money it cost to rehabilitate them in a positive way instead, by helping them overcome their addictions. Could this happen at Western? Are Western students safe when they visit the Student Health Center, or could their medical records be turned over to the University Police? The Revised Code of Washington states: "all information and records compiled, obtained or maintained in the course of providing services to either voluntary or involuntary recipients of services at public or private agencies shall be confidential". In other words, thankfully, this could not happen to Western students because it is against Washington state law. Though South Carolina may seem like a far-off land, this case should not escape anyone's mind. If the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of the city of Charleston, this could happen anywhere — even in Washington state. From OIL, Page 13 made headlines. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve contains 571 million barrels. Clinton released 24.5 million barrels to keep the .cost down for Americans heating their homes this winter. Under the contract, 31.56 million barrels will be returned between August and November 2001. America is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, contributor of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. This seems silly for the richest and most technologically advanced country in the world. If the U.S. government and corporate America had their priorities straight they would invest in developing alternative energy sources that would fuel American cars and heat American houses without the waste. Solar electric power is an alternative. Companies could still make a buck and reduce America's dependence on oil. Or maybe fighting wars for oil is an American way of life.

That's the attitude senior tailback Giorgio Usai, anchor of the Viking offense, takes onto the football field. Last year, Usai solidified Western's running attack, rushing for 864 yards. "Having a quick, strong runner like Giorgio really opens up our passing game," wide receiver Greg Dykstra said. Twice rejected by Western recruiters, Usai is showing opponents why he might be one of the region's best-kept secrets.

Western did not recruit him out of Spokane's Central Valley High School, where he won the Class AAA state rushing title, because he was too small. "Size is very overrated in football," Usai said. "Size doesn't show how physical you are or how big of a punch you pack." Five feet eight inches tall and 185 pounds is not bull-dozing size, but Usai's numbers need only speak for themselves. Usai caught Western's eye with four 300-yard rushing games, seven 200-yard rushing games, 14 consecutive 100-yard games for his 2,473 yards two seasons ago at Yuba. Usai's total is second only to the 2,628 yards Oklahoma State and NFL great Barry Sanders netted in 1988. "I still remember one coach flat-out told me, You're too small to play here; you'll just get hurt. That's why we're not recruiting you,"' Usai said. When his first choice passed on him, he chose to walk on at thje University of Idaho. He redshirted at Idaho, but left after one semester, after realizing his playing time would be limited. He attended a quarter at . ,,4Wmmm^ S p o k a n e C o m m u n i t y College before packing his bags for the C a l i f o r n i a junior college s y s t e m , which is f a m o u s for pro-d u c i n g f o o t b a l l stars. A torn hamstring ruined Usai's first season at Yuba. He played in only five games, but still managed an impressive 670 yards rushing. A f t e r i the season, Usai was interested in transferring to Western, the coaching staff stopped returning his calls — he was rejected a second time.

Peters/The Western Front Middle blocker Michelle Parker goes up for one against MSU-Billings. By Christina Schrum THE WESTERN FRONT With their long brown hair, blue eyes and friendly dispositions, Michelle and Nicola Parker look like average Western students. But when these two sisters step onto the volleyball court, 7 love my sister being on the team. She's probably my closest friend in the world.' Michelle Parker Women's volleyball player they definitely catch fans' attention. "They definitely have some special insight with each other just because they've known each other their whole lives," said head coach Diane Flick. "They're very supportive and they're very encouraging, but they also kick each other in the butt when it needs to happen." Graduates of Auburn High School, the Parker sisters were active members of the volleyball, basketball and tennis teams. During both junior high and high school, they received numerous academic and athletic awards. Michelle received the Most Inspirational award in almost every sport, while Nicola maintained a 4.0 grade point average and was South County Journal Student Athlete of the Year. Senior Michelle, who stands 5 feet 11 inches, plays middle hitter and blocker, while 5 foot 9 inch freshman Nicola plays outside and opposite hitter for the Vikings. Volleyball has always been a shared love for the two sisters. While growing up they could be found in the back yard, hitting the ball back and forth to see how long they could rally. The sisters said they hope this dedication will translate into a successful season. "I think there's a lot of possibilities (for the team)," Michelle said. "Through the years there has been a lot of ups and downs. "As people we find our motivation through different things such as the score, whether or not the coach is watching, what your teammates and parents think (and) those things are all up and down all the time and not constant." Statistics show Michelle leads vthe way in blocks and kills for the Vikings, but "her attitude on the court makes her more of a leader than the statistics," Nicola said. "I admire her so much as a person. Her heart is made up of 100 percent love. She doesn't know how to hate." "I love my sister being on the team," Michelle said. "She's probably my closest friend in the world." "We get along so well and we get excited for each other and she's an awesome sister.

"We can be perfectly honest with each other where it doesn't hurt anybody's feelings and it's the same way on the court." This summer Michelle had the opportunity to coach a two- week volleyball camp at the World's Volleyball Training Center in New York. "My favorite part about camp was meeting people from all over the world," she said. While making special friendships with some of the other coaches, she also gained connections in the volleyball circuit.

Keys THE WESTERN FRONT Par. Bogie. Great lay. Nice drive. Sounds like a great golf game. This one has a twist — it is played with discs. Disc golf has been around for quite some time, gaining popularity in the early 1980's. Disc golf can be played by a wide variety of people, a factor that contributed to its growth. "Disc golf is a game for everyone," said Joe Guthrie, owner of Frank's Place, a local pawn shop and supplier of discs. "I've been at (Cornwall Park) and have seen college students having fun, as well as families pushing strollers while playing." The object of disc golf is to get a disc into the basket, a four-foot metal piece that has a round metal cup halfway up the center post. On top of the center post is another circular metal cup with metal chains attached to it to catch the disc. Disc-golf courses are. usually in lush park areas. Enjoying nature and being able to walk through well-maintained parks are other reasons for the growth of the sport. , ._.:-:. "I started playing because I love the outdoors," said Mike Flones, an avid disc golfer who placed third in the novice division at the Cornwall Classic tournament at Cornwall Park. "It is so beautiful: Also, it's free and fun." Cost is another reason for the attraction and growth of disc golf. The disc-golf course at Cornwall Park is free. Doubles tournaments are put on by the Bellingham Disc Golf Club every Sunday at noon. Photos by Angela D.

Peters/The Western Front A member of the men's ice hockey team lays down the Sport Court before Friday night's volleyball game against MSU-Billings. By Christine Callan THE WESTERN FRONT Western's athletic department introduced the women's Division II volleyball team to its advanced and improved Sport Court surface on Sept. 28. c "I love it," Kim Formo said. "It brings pride to our team. No one else in our conference has it, so it's intimidating to other teams." Head coach Diane Flick said Sport Court is.better physically for the team, providing more cushion for ankles and knees. "It is much nicer to dive and roll on," Flick said. ~ The Vikings are the first and only team in the PacWest conference to move on this innovative surface. "After we defeated St. Martin's (on Sept. 29), their coach asked if she could take the floor home with her," Athletic Director Lynda Goodrich said. "It is clear that the new technology has brought with it a lot of excitement and advantages for the players," she said. Not only is it better physically for the joints, but it adds an element of intimidation because no one else in the conference has it. "The athletic department has a great vision for where they want this program to go and a great determination to get there," Goodrich said. "It was done in the spirit of Title IX." Title IX deals with gender equality legislation and pro- 'The athletic department has a great vision for where they want this program to go and a great determination to get it there.' Lynda Goodrich Western athletic director vides equal funding for male and female athletes. "If that was the only reason we did it, it's reason enough," Goodrich said. "It emphasizes volleyball." Instead of the traditional basketball lines, the royal blue surface has only volleyball lines, . which makes it much easier for the fans to see. The surface is extremely durable and also portable, so it is laid down on game day and removed afterward. The men's ice hockey team sets up and tears down the surface as a fund-raising event for its sport, Goodrich said. Overall, most players agree. Sport Court gives them an edge over other teams. "I feel like I can jump higher," middle blocker Michelle Parker said. "I think it's a mental thing, but I'm going-to keep on letting myself believe it." The new volleyball surface must be inter-connected before each match. ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Vikings preview page 5 ---------- October 10, 2000 Sports Preview The Western Front • 5 shorter shots.

Kiesser's rugby career began four years ago, when he was a Andrew Linth/The Western Front Jordan Kiesser enjoys a break during play. junior at Handsworth High School in Vancouver, B.C. "In high school, I played football, soccer and rugby," Kiesser said. "Rugby is a lot of fun to play. You must pay attention at all times because it is very strategic. The physical aspect is also very fun." On a rugby team, 15 players are on the field during play — eight forwards and seven backs. Kiesser plays a position called flyhalf. He is in charge of the backs and calls the plays. With an 18-credit load and rugby practice, Kiesser doesn't find much time to do much else. When he has spare time, he said, he enjoys mountain- biking, hiking, camping and working on cars. "I have a 1962 Thunderbird that I work on whenever I have time," Kiesser said. Kiesser, a sophomore, was born in Los Angeles and moved to Vancouver, B.C. when he was 14. He completed high school in Canada. "I chose Western for the engineering department and because of its size," Kiesser said. The middle child of three, Kiesser has sports in his blood. His grandfather played and coached football and track at Andrew Linth/The Western Front Flyhalf Jordan Kiesser and his fellow Warthogs engage in a scrum during Saturday's tournament. Kiesser said one of his favorite parts of rugby is the physical play. the University of Southern California. Kiesser lived in the dormitories his first year of college, but decided off-campus living would suit him better this year and moved into a house with four other people. Living in his new house allows Kiesser to indulge his night-owl tendencies. "I am definitely a night person," said Kiesser. "I usually get a second wind around 9 p.m. and I don't function in the morning. It usually takes me a few hours to wake up." Kiesser's sleeping habits would fit in well in his native city of Los Angeles, but this overachiever claims he likes the pace of life in Bellingham. Kiesser said he is still not busy enough for his liking. If he can, he would like to add a job to his activities. Kiesser's teammates recognize his well-rounded attitude, and how he brings this levelheadedness to the rugby field. "Jordan is a great player because he is very athletic and very experienced," Alex Mchuron, the club's president, said. "He is a well-rounded player that excels in each part of the game." ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Vikings preview page 6 ---------- 6 • The Western Front Sports Preview October 10, 2000 Modest runner Patrick Murphy is quietly making a huge impact By Laura Mecca THE WESTERN FRONT It's hard to tell by talking with him that Patrick Murphy is a rookie with senior accomplishments on Western's cross country team. His modest personality makes it tough to get the facts. This five foot nine inch runner has no explanation for his speed and agility on the trails. In his first college meet on Sept. 30, Murphy placed second on the team. "The second meet I placed first, but a lot of the guys on the team weren't there," Murphy said. He said his interest for running was piqued when he saw how much fun his brothers and father had running. "I guess it kind of rubbed off," Murphy said. Murphy runs an average of 70 miles per week year-round. He began 'Being in that top group as a freshman is a good indicator in itself.

Murphy said he began running for his high school team, Montana's state champions, when he was a sophomore. "Patrick was a pleasant surprise to us," Western head cross country coach Kelvin "Pee Wee" Halsell said. Murphy will be the only freshman running in the top seven spots on the team, Halsell said. "He is showing some signs of being a-good collegiate runner," Halsell said. "Being in that top group as~ a freshman is a good indicator in itself." Halsell attributed Murphy's potential to his competitive drive. "I am hoping that someday he'll work himself into an All-American as well as an academic Ail-American," Halsell said. "Patrick is a very well-rounded young man." Murphy said his speed and training came in handy this summer when he worked near Glacier State Park. "I ran into a lot of grizzlies this summer," Murphy said. "You stop and you freak out. You move back slowly and then when you get out, you run like hell!" , Daniel J.

Born and raised in Kamuela, Hawaii, Anderson was recruited by Western last year from her hometown high school, Parker High. This is her second year playing on the women's varsity soccer team. Anderson grew up watching her older brother, Chris, a soccer goalie as well as hockey, and he took his sister under his wing and taught her the ways of goal-keeping. With 55 saves under her belt this season, he must have done something right. WELCOME STUDENTS! 9, THUR - SAT • L IW MUSIC JOIN ANNA'S BIRTHDAY CLUB!

Anderson said she has to wear white socks, even though the team uniform calls for blue. Soccer is a big part of Anderson's life, like a friend. When her career is done, when there is no more practice or running, no more injuries or celebrations, she said she will greatly miss it. She said she can see herself as an old granny, relishing in the memories of the good old days. But for now, Anderson enjoys being on the field, playing an "awesome" game and being out there for her team. After 10 years of playing soccer, Anderson said her time here at Western has given her a new respect for the game. "In high school you play for yourself, because you think it would be fun to play," she said. "Here you do it for the team. Sometimes I want to quit, but Daniel J. Peters/The Western-Front Shaye Anderson is as unstoppable during practice as she is in a game. you just have a different will for the game at this level. This team has taught me to keep pushing for the next level." "Shaye probably has the toughest job on the team," Carin Nash, Anderson's teammate said. "She has to see the whole field and help direct the team. She has a hard job in terms of keeping the lines of communication open on the field." With a record of 4-1-1 in league for this season, the Vikings are currently second in the league. Anderson said being in the running for League PacWest Championship is a great motivator for the team right now. How can Anderson help her team continue this winning streak?
