The legislature claims that members of the intermediate and il-college judiciary boards were notselected in accordance with the lies outlined in the campus guidebook, Navigator. The bill claimed lat the boards were illegally constituted and called for selection of ew members according to correct procedures. Cooper charged that the legislature had not adequately researched ossible consequences as a result ofthe bill. He said it would probably ike six weeks before new members could be selected and seated onhe boards. "There is concern in many persons' minds that city police may be •sed on campus,"Cooper said. "The legislature's action may trigger a novement in favor of such a proposal since the college would not * ave its own judicial authority to handle student law-breakers." "The legislature has not looked into the problem seriously," he lid. Cooper has asked Dean of Men Ray Romine to explain the duationto the legislature at today's session. Speaker of the legislature Bert Halprin explained the legislature's ' '-asons for unanimously passing the bill: "From the day I found out that they (the judiciaries) had been•leered without any input, I wondered how to proceed. "This seemed to be a question which ought to be referred to the ..S judiciary. Action was delayed because it seemed more proper that "le AS judicial,rather than the legislative arm, raise the complaint." "I had, therefore, requested President Cooper tomake his gt;pointments to the board last November. He assured me on at least iree occasions that theJudicial board would be named 'next week.' ot one member has yet been named." Cooper said that thejudicial branch was not the proper place to send their complaint either. "If the legislature understood theprocess of government in this stitution they would have known that their complaint should have me to thestudent conduct committee," he said when he vetoed the ' 11. He said that AS has two representativeson that committee. According to Halprin, however: "Despite a tradition of forgetting about gross errors fora few months, then refusing to correct them, I am happy that the legislature decided to take the initialstep toward righting the situation.

WWSC Bellingham, Washington Tuesday, February 2, 1971 No. 32Speaker Halprin Pushes Student Rights Document By GLEN JONES Front Reporter Bert Halprin,speaker of the AS Legislature, wants to rejuvenate interest in the passage of a nationally-organizedstudent bill of rights on campus. The bill operates within the same spectrum as a bill proposed bySenator Sam Guess to the state legislature. Yet, the bill of rights' provisions are freedom-oriented ratherthan restrictive towards students. Halprin's efforts are centered around the student welfare committee ofthe AS Legislature, whose duties include approval of such measures. He is extremely confident the newchairman of the committee, John McDonnell, will see this bill through successfully, he said. Joint effortsto draft a statement of student rights and freedoms by national educational associations began in the fallof 1966. Representing faculty, administrators and students, endorsements of this bill now include:National Student Association, American Association of College, National Association of StudentPersonnel Administrators, Association of Women's Deans and Counselors, Campus Americans' forDemocratic Action, and American Association of University Professors. The purpose of the bill, as stated in its preamble, is "to enumerate the essential provisions for student freedom to learn." The bulk of thejoint statement is devoted to setting standards in the areas of student affairs and disciplinaryproceedings. Highlights in the area of student affairs include: —students should be free to organize andjoin associations to promote their common interests. -affiliation with an extramural organization shouldnot of itself disqualify a student organization from institutional recognition. -students and studentorganizations should be free to examine and to discuss all questions of interest to them, and to expressopinions publicly • and privately. -students should be allowed to invite and to hear any person of theirown choosing. -student press should be free of censorship and advance approval of copy. -editors andmanagers of student publications should be protected from arbitrary suspension and removal because ofdisapproval. In the area of disciplinary procedings, the bill requires that an accused student be informedof the nature of the charges against him, that he be given a fair opportunity to refute them, that theinstitution not be arbitrary in its actions, and that there be provision for appeal of a decision. Some of thedetails of this area are: - e x c e p t under extreme emergency circumstances, premises occupied bystudents and the personal possessions of students should not be searched unless appropriateauthorization has been obtained - n o form of harassment should be used by institutional representatives to coerce admissions of guilt or information about conduct of other suspected persons —pendingaction on the charges, the status of a student should not be altered, except for reasons relating to hisphysical or emotionaly safety and well-being, or the safety and well-being of students, faculty, oruniversity property. The bill goes on to explicate these and other areas of student rights and freedomsmore thoroughly. Other provisions deal specifically with access to higher education, classroomprocedure, student records, and freedom of off-campus students. inside: Halprin Interviews JaneMason p.4 ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 2 ---------- Tuesday, February 2, 1971 TODAY: NBC TV, First Tuesday with Correspondent Tom Pettit introducingthe features and stories of the February edition. 9-11 p.m. Gallery show, "Seven from Washington:Print-making Today" It includes the works of s e v e n p r o m i n e nt print-makers.

This Thursday, theBon Marche will be on campus to seek applicants for management trainees.

Next Wednesday the United States International University will seek applicants for graduateschool. Also the Federal Service Information program will be on c a m p u s to d i s t r i b u te Tenants iff Union Pete White, chairman of the Tenants' Union (TU), called Governor Dan Evans tenants' rightsproposal "beautiful." White said last week, that Evans' new bill "is exactly what we've been after." The TU originated as a student service organization in 1969 when a shortage of off-campus housing forced about200 students to quit school. Since 1969 the TU has strived to ease the problems between tenant andlandlord. The new bill, if passed, would give TU better ground to work on. The new landlord-tenantproposal would impose responsibilities on both sides for compliance with housing codes. Under the bill, a tenant would have the option of moving out, using rent money for repairs or paying his rent to the countyauditor until a landlord satisfies requests to perform his duties. The bill would also make the landlordsubject, to triple damages if he dispossessed a tenant without a valid court order. The same penaltywould apply if he seized the tenants' property as security for rent without the tenants' prior consent. Non-returned damage deposits have been a major problem for TU. In the past the TU has tried to get tenantand landlord together and to talk the problem out. When the discussions failed, the tenant usually filed aclaim at the small claims court. In the past, the court has generally been in favor of the tenant. In Evans'bill, the landlord would be put more on the defensive. The bill also calls for return of unused deposit fundswith a statement of charges within two weeks after the tenant has moved out. Failure would make thelandlord liable for double amount of deposit. White urges people to support the bill. He said peopleinterested in contacting their congressmen, can get a list of the names in the TU office. " ' White addedthat the bill will be reviewed on Feb. 24. The chairman said anyone interested in lobbying for the bill andneeds transportation to Olympia, can contact the TU. information on several federal agencies.

Adoption of the long-awaited proposal by AS will make the plan a reality and the refundwill go into effect retroactively to Dec. 1, 1970. The five-point proposal outlines specifics for student,faculty and staff participation in t h e co-operative bookstore refund as follows: —Patronage refundsshall be paid, when possible, based upon purchases made during the bookstore's fiscal year—Aug. 1through the following July 31. Sales receipts must be turned in by July 31. —Patronage refunds shall be paid by check in the September following the end of the fiscal year. —Basis of claim for patronagerefund: The eligible members will submit cash register receipts received during the fiscal year in themanner as shown on the Students' Co-operative Store Patronage Refund Envelopes. —Individual refundamounts will be calculated on a proportional basis, that is, if the members sales slips comprise .01 percent of the total value of all sales slips submitted, he would receive .01 per cent of the total refund, if one were paid. (For example: total refund equals $15,000, he would receive .01 per cent or $1.50). No check in an amount less than $1 will be PRESIDENT COOPER Photo By BOB BURNETT 'Cooper Veto'(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) "The legislature did not intend to have any past decisions of the judiciaryvoided, but merely wanted to proceed further with the improperly selected judiciaries." In stating hisreasons for vetoing the bill to this reporter, Cooper "I've heard rumors from people close to the judiciaryboards that if there is interference from any government body on campus, they have considereddisbanding and giving judicial power back to the Deans' offices. "The legislature is negligent in thismatter. I'm sorry the whole thing came up. "The current judiciary is functioning well, he said. "The ASLegislature should not expel its energies on an issue such as this when students at this college aregetting short-changed in education and are forced to accept an imposed., sterile living condition." Indefense of the legislature, Halprin said: "Cathy Dudik's reported statement in the Western Front that 'Itwas up to the legislature to make sure its appointee attended the selection meeting' would be valid except that neither the legislature nor its appointee was ever informed of the time and place of that meeting."DRAMA PLANS SUMMER STOCK A nine-week summer stock theatre is tentatively being planned bythe drama department, according to Dr. William Gregory. Gregory said the first meeting held last weekproved there were enough etudents at Western interested in working on summer stock to put the planinto action. "We were only expecting about a dozen students to show up tor the meeting," Gregory said."But over 60 students showed up and around 40 signed up for the course." Students taking summerstock as a class will receive between 11 to 15 credits. , , . ,n Each student will work six days a weekfrom 10 a.m. to lU.JU p m., according to a proposed course outline put out by the drama department, and each student will have a chance to work in the various parts of play production. The first of the six playsscheduled is "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," although Gregory said it was notdefinite. Gregory said he hoped to move the plays off-campus and make the summer stock a communityeffort. Any students wanting to sign up for summer stock are asked to call Gregory at 3890. issued, anda $2 membership refund fee will be deducted from faculty and staff refunds. —Procedure for determining whether a refund can be paid: a. The bookstore board will be responsible for providing a projectedincome statement in September and a quarterly report concerning performance. b. Necessary uses forestimated net profits will be determined. c. The a m o u n t of uncommittee estimated earnings will beused to declare whether a refund appears possible. The audited statement for July 31 will be the basis of actual determination. Final approval of the policy is still subject to one minor technicality before it canbe presented to the AS. The policy was adopted by the board and went into the minutes of the Jan. 20meeting as accepted. The board must now approve the minutes of that meeting at their next meeting, tobe held next week. Meanwhile Board Chairman Dr. Howard Mitchell is looking into including theproposal in the agenda of the next available meeting of the Associated Students. Little or no oppositionis expected from AS, Mitchell said, but he feels that he and the other five members of the board shouldbe fully prepared to answer questions and discuss the issue with the legislators. Approval by the AS willbe the final hurdle in the long journey of the rebate proposal from inception to acceptance. Flora,Trustees Okay Sudden Valley Action BOB BURNETT Front Reporter The Board of Trustees and thecollege administration have, for the first time, taken a . stand on the controversy surrounding airport andmarina development at Sudden Valley. AS President Steve Cooper, in an announcement made Friday,said, "Western Washington State College and the Board of Trustees have jointly asked the state attorney general's office to investigate the situation." The results of this investigation will fugure in the decision tofile a complaint against the Sanwick Corporation, developers of Sudden Valley. Cooper has beenhesitant to talk about action against the developers since the AS Legislature passed a bill supportinglegal action and initiated a defense fund for Western's Lakewood recreational area near the SuddenValley development. Cooper said he had been advised not to release any information. "I'm not trying tohide anything," he said. "I'm just protecting the best interests of the student body until this thing isresolved." Cooper would not say whether or not a decision had been made to sue Sudden Valley or if alawyer had been hired to represent Western. Cooper's announcement marked the first time official actionby the college or the trustees was made public. Student leaders have complained since last summerthat the airport and marina development being done by the Sanwick company are detrimental to the value of property near Sudden Valley. They say the development "probably" violates federal and stateenvironmental laws and that the airport would create a nuisance. The Sudden Valley development onLake Whatcom is located immediately south of Western's Lakewood property. The airstrip runs to within five feet of Western's property. Student environmentalist Ted Boss claims that the dredging and fillingdone by Sudden Valley is gradually filling the lake with silt and decreasing the water depth at Lakewoodboating facilities. "I'm not trying to hide anything," he said. "I'm just protecting the best interests of thestudent body until this thing is resolved."

Student leaders are certain that Sudden Valley will not give up without a fight. The Sanwick Corporation has millions of dollars at stake in Sudden Valley. College PresidentCharles Flora said that it may be years before the situation is entirely resolved. Solons Use Knife onCooper's Budget Pie REBECCA FIRTH Front Reporter The AS Legislators have approved the 1971budget, but the final version of the measure differs radically from that proposed by AS President SteveCooper. While the budget that finally emerged from the stormy, two and one-half hour session last weekdoes not differ in its total expenditure from that proposed by the president, its internal structure was aproduct of the legislative process and not that of the executive branch. The legislature did not proportionmoney for a non-academic coordinator or for the printing of a new sex-education booklet. They did vote to allot $200 to executive supplies, $820 to the executive contingency fund, and $800 to the politicalinvolvement committee. Cooper said that what the legislature did was completely unbelievable. "They (the legislature) are simply not aware of what we are doing. Although tonight was a major defeat and atremendously gross mistake on the part of the legislature, it does not paralyze the new programs. "Whatit does do is reveal student government legislators as being completely inept and completelyobstructionist in philosophy. They do not understand what we are doing." Bert Halprin, speaker of thelegislature, said that this was the first step towards a cut-back in the budget. "It wasn't an internallyconsistent step. I'm extermely puzzled as to why one position was funded (academic) and anotherwasn't (non-academic)." Cooper's reaction was that "The Legislature's attitude and outlook is completelytraditional. It represents the attitude and outlook that student government has had for the past five years.They (the legislators) are still caught up in confrontation politics, irresponsible and once-a-weeklegislation." W-13 entered the Legislature from the physical management committee with unanimousabstention as a recommendation and several changes already made. Rich Hass, AS business managerand legislator, was satisfied at the over-all outcome of the meeting. He felt that the budget changes were needed. "People that are now working for Steve are good people and deserve money, but we must put a stop to the salaries budgeting. We added more money to the executive contingency fund and if Stevewants to pay salaries from that then he can. It's up to him now. What we have done shouldn't reallychange anything." Legislator Mary Watts asked to be given a leave of absence from the Legislature forthe rest of the quarter. She stated time, money, and grades as her reasons. ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, February 2, 1971 mm mmmmmm Front Editorials.... "To comfort the afflictedand to afflict the comforted" No to USIU Recruiters from the United States International University (USIU) will be holding interviews on campus a week from tomorrow with students interested in USIU's graduateprograms. The college community should boycott their interviews and confront them with questionsconcerning the university's apparent clandestine operations. USIU is not a typical university. TheCalifornia-based private school is controlled by former military officers, high ranking members of the NavyLeague, bankers, industrialists and agribusinessmen who have used their influence to acquire a numberof deactivated military bases for free to build new campuses—the latest at Sundance, Wyoming. Theuniversity has acquired these old military bases under a federal law which says that private educationalinstitutions may receive surplus federal land as a "public benefit allowance." USIU is currently under firein Oregon concerning its acquisition of Adair Air Force Station near Corvallis. The Oregon Council of thePoor is protesting the land transfer on the grounds that poor persons could make better use of theproperty. The Council staged weekly protests at the air station during the fall term. Members of theCouncil contend that housing located at the station would "make fine homes for poor people." They argue that if Adair is transferred to USIU, then it Yes to Rotary The Rotary Club in downtown Bellinghamseems to be making a sincere effort to bridge the so-called "town-gown gap" which exists between theBellingham community and the college. The fact that local Rotarians are recognizing the existence ofthe problem and are expressing a desire to do something about it is indeed encouraging news. Dr.Michael Mischaikow, a Rotarian and professor of business and. economics at Western, told yesterday'snoon luncheon gathering of the local business leaders that the college cannot exist without thecommunity's logistical support and that the would become a campus for the rich where tuition will bemore than $3000 a year. The Adair property transfer has been held up by Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.)pending investigation by his office. USIU was to have received some 200-plus acres of Adair propertygratis, while paying market price for an additional 177 acres and the housing units. An angry group ofstudents at the University of Oregon investigated USIU from several angles and discovered that USIU'senrollment figures were very low, its access to old military bases high, and its financial status suspectand largely secret. USIU maintains campuses in Mexico, England, Nigeria, Kenya and several locationsin the continental United States. Both students and faculty must sign a "pledge of allegiance" to USIUand students are ruled under an oppressively puritanical code which conveniently provides for dismissals on almost any ground. USIU recruiters slipped away from a University of Oregon confrontation grouptwo weeks ago when they visited the Eugene campus. Let's not let them get away from Western without a public meeting to set their record straight. It would be nice to know whether USIU is in education orreal estate. —John Stolpe community would fare much worse without the presence of the state college campus. The question remains whether or not students and faculty are willing to extend a hand inbridging this gap which certainly runs deeper today than it has during any other period of college history. AS President Steve Cooper's town-gown committee is certainly a step in the right direction. But it is upto each one of us to bring the two communities closer together.

EDITORIAL PHONE: 676-3161ADVERTISING PHONE: 676-3160 An interview with a very impressive woman—newly elected CountyProsecutor Jane Mason Q. Could you explain what the "tolerance policy" was and why you stopped it.A. Well, specifically, the gambling tolerance policy tolerated the violation of state law without any legalaction being taken. That's what a tolerance policy is—tolerating illegal conduct.. I chose to campaign on that issue as a sub-issue of respect for law and the law and order issue. I campaigned on respect for thelaw. Ending the gambling was a very controversial issue, and I feel the stand I took on it was the onlyhonest stand. Because of the tremendous part that gambling and everything connected with it plays inour society, it was a very important issue. It was too big to forget about because it has implication everytime you turn around. There have been two bills introduced to change the laws on gambling. If ever therewas a time for the legislature to act, now is the time. My impression of people and the mores andstandards now leads me to believe the gambling laws are way outdated and the legislature will act inanswer to their constituents. Q. Do you think that students and hippies get a fair shake from the systemof criminal justice in this county? A. Well, I would certainly hope so. If there is the opinion among somethat any law enforcement officers in this county can pick on so called hippie appearing people, if that isthe case or if there is that opinion held by some, then I'm not aware of it. Q. Some people hold theopposite view, that being people as students and live on Western's campus they are allowed to get awaywith all sorts of things like use of drugs and minors using alcohol. There are occasional rumors that somesort of crackdown is planned. Is this true? A. Not to my knowledge. I do not feel that the campus shouldbe treated in general, with regard to law enforcement, any differently than any other portion of the city. It's part of the city, and the county. The law applies to all, not just to some and it applies to the campus too. Q. How do you feel personally about laws which attempt to enforce morality—like drug laws, and lawsagainst rock festivals? A. Law is a product of civilized society and it is the structure with which wemaintain order in a society. I feel that the law is a product of what people want to be governed by. Now ifthe thinking of a majority of people changes over a given period of time then they should exercise,through the legislative branch, the authority to have the law changed. The problem—the crunch—comes when you've got the lag, which is quite often the case. You've got the time lag—a majority of peoplewant the law changed, but the law doesn't get changed and the crunch is put on law enforcement officials. What do they do in the meantime? This is a constant problem. The only honest answer law enforcement can give is that until the law is changed, they must uphold the law on the books. Q. In your personalopinion, should possession of marijuana for personal use be a criminal offense? ^ A. I don't know as Ishould attempt to comment on that and I'll attempt to explain why. I'm in a law enforcement role—thechief law enforcement official of this county. It's my job to uphold the laws of this state, this county.Whatever my personal predilections may be, I can't allow them to get in the way of doing my official duty. Q. You are apparently the only female prosecutor ever in the state. Do you feel in agreement with thewoman's liberation movement? A. I don't like to pigeonhole people and I won't pigeonhole myself. I mayappear to be a women's liberation type—whatever that means. I certainly didn't campaign on that. Icampaigned on issues, not personality or sex, and it didn't seem to affect the votes. But I do feel—well,there's quite a bit of discrimination in life, period. Male, female or otherwise. But I do feel at times there'squite a bit of discrimination based on sex in certain areas. Q. The job of prosecutor, while a professionalone, is also in politics. The campaign you waged showed that you understand this side of it well. Do yousee any future for yourself in politics? A. Well, I'm extremely busy at the moment. This is a verydemanding office. The responsibilities placed on elected officials are multiplying and you simply do thebest you can. I think it's too soon to consider what my future will be. I've never been one to worry aboutthe future, or the past. They take care of themselves. But I certainly intend to remain active to a certainextent in Democratic politics. I am a Democrat. Q. Let me finally ask you. Do you feel there's a"prosecuting" mentality? Do you bring people to court whether they should be convicted or not? A. Well,I certainly don't feel the position has "the villain" painted all over it. There've been good prosecutors andthere've been bad prosecutors just like there have been good and bad in every role. I think the most onecan ask of a prosecutor is that he be fair and represent the state vigorously for violations of the laws. Butbe fair while he goes about it. And we simply have to trust in human nature and the elective process which governs the selection of prosecuting attorneys. Q. I appreciate the time you've given me. Thank you verymuch. A. It was my pleasure. ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, February 2, 1971 Western Front 5 Mitchell on Bookstore Editor's note: Dr. Howard Mitchell ischairman of the Economics Department and also serves as chairman of the college bookstore board. By Dr. HOWARD MITCHELL I have been requested to offer a commentary on the participation refund policycurrently being developed by the bookstore board. First, let me make several comments that are relevant to the refund policy and bookstore operations. The bookstore was established as a means of providingtextbooks and other books, class and other study supplies, general merchandise items needed by thestudent, and any special services for the students at the least cost possible. Policy determination andadministrative review are vested in the bookstore board with actual administration provided by a bookstore manager. Policy is subject to limited review by the AS Legislature. Given the purposes outlined above, it is presumed that any net earnings of the bookstore not needed to accomplish these purposes would beavailable for return to the students, based upon the level of purchases they made during the operatingperiod. The bookstore board currently operates under a mandate that, rather than use unneeded netearnings for a participation refund, they be used to provide a bookstore building. Funds to finance thepresent main building are being provided by a $2 per quarter student fee. A contingency provision requires that if fees are inadequate to meet the contract payment schedule, this deficiency must be made upfrom net income. Until recently, net earnings were barely adequate to finance the rapid expansion ininventory and facilities necessary to serve the growing student body. Included in this is the south campus area annex built last summer. Net income is affected by pricing policies. The bookstore pricing policyutilizes the standard retail markup used generally throughout the country for textbooks—20 per cent ofretail price. On other items, it uses selected retail markups established to facilitate inventory controlaccounting. Nearly all result in a price below suggested retail prices for the items. Other elements affectnet income also. The free check cashing service and the post office sub-station result in a loss, butprovide benefits which more than make up for the loss in terms of convenience to the students who usethese services. You may wonder why a participation refund is being considered now, and was notpreviously. Speaking as a board member, there are several factors that have affected the net earningsand potential unneeded net earnings for the current year: (1) student enrollment will not increase bymuch in 1971-72, so the inventory will not have to be expanded greatly; (b) fewer new programs havebeen developed in the past two years, and thus there has been less pressure for expanded inventory; (c)the bookstore management has been able to meet the increased volume of sales without increasing thefixed costs of building and fixtures or greatly increasing the clerical and administrative staff; and (d) thecosts of building the Annex and putting it into operation were met from available financial resources.Earnings forecasts and anticipated financial accumulation to meet future building needs suggest thatthere will be sufficient unneeded earnings to allow a participation refund. Further, the $2 building fee willbe adequate to retire the remaining portion of obligations outstanding on the main bookstore building.Some have asked if paying the participation refund will result in price increases. I would not approve arefund if this were to be the result, and do not believe the other board members would. Several studentswho attended board meetings last spring and fall have pointed out that at that time I opposed a dividend.Why did I change my position? It is my belief that the board must operate in a conservative manner. Bythis I mean it should carry out its responsibilities in such a manner as to conserve the investment thestudents have built up in the bookstore and thus allow it to continue to meet the purposes for which itwas established. Not until the audited financial report for 1969-70 was completed, the annex finished, the projected income statement developed, was there sufficient information available to anticipate that arefund could be paid. I did not wish to propose a policy under conditions which would not allow one to bepaid. It is interesting that at this time many college bookstores are reporting that they are discontinuingdividends, some are suffering operating losses. The bookstore board will take its proposals for theparticipation refund to the AS Legislature as soon as we are sure we have all the information prepared tosupport this proposal. Evaluation Forms Accepted Appointments for evaluation and applications are now being accepted in 109 Old Main for June and August candidates for BA degree and provisionalcertificate candidates. Approval forms for majors and minors, included in each student's blue book,pages 9 and 10, must be signed by the a u t h o r i z e d department's representative prior to filing the de g r e e a n d / o r teaching certificate application in the registrar's office. June graduates are urged torequest evaluation and file their application prior to spring quarter advance registration. Educationcandidates for August who plan to student teach spring quarter are advised to make their request by theend of this quarter. housing notes Many tenants wonder what their rights are regarding the landlord'sprivilege to enter the unit they are renting. Basically, the landlord has very little right to enter your rental,unless you give him permission or have signed this right away in some type of agreement. Tenantsshould keep in mind that they are paying for a home—a place that belongs to them as long as theymake their rent payments. In many cases a landlord, or anyone else who enters without p e r m i s s i on , is guilty of trespassing. Contact: Gary West A.S.

The print-outs will be mailed in three separate batches with the first third going out tomorrow, he said. The othersheets will be mailed Friday and Monday.

Studentanswers Charges Editor: As a student in the "highly immoral" program at Whatcom, I read CathyPark's letter with interest, then I got mad. But instead of writing from my point of view I thought I'd askmy class what they thought. So I read the letter to them and suggested they, too, write a letter to theeditor on what they thought of her letter and the , program. I tried to not influence them with my point ofview. I enclosed some of the letters as I feel they answer her better than I could. The students are in asixth grade class. They earn money for good behavior and work. They are not rewarded for every goodbehavior or correct problem. They can save their money to buy certain things, for instance eating candyor sharpening their pencil whenever they want to. They can also save for trips such as a skating party.The rewards are chosen by the students not by the teachers. There is no pressure put on them to saveor spend their money. I'm for the token system as another method of motivating children, not as the one answer. Marcia Harper Junior Whatcom Middle School Editor's note: Five letters from WhatcomMiddle School were submitted with Miss Harper's letter. We chose the following two to present the other side of the story: Of her side of story Editor: I think the girl that wrote the letter about the token money' system does not know the other side of the story. When kids work hard they should get something out of it.' When we are good we all pay the same amount of money to go on a field trip. Some kids havebeen trying harder ever since the money system has come out. The girl who wrote to you did not writeanything good, she just wrote bad things. Whatcom Middle School Student Editor: I'm replying to theletter that was sent out about the student teachers using play money, or the token system at Whatcom Middle School. I am a student included in this program and I am answering the letter that said that thissystem was not right because it causes greed. This I don't believe is true. Everyone needs to berewarded for something. We get money very few times for work, and mostly we get it for how we act. Ifwe are very bad we don't get anything, but if we are very good we get rewarded. This helps in teachingand in our behavior. In my opinion is hasn't made us greedy, it's made us happy. Kristen MyhreWhatcom Middle School P.S. It may not be good all the time, but on the average I think it helps us. 24Hour Visiting : Privacy Invasion? Editor: Twenty-four hour visitation will "be voted on by dorm residentssoon. And, of course, a word to the wise: think about both sides of the issue before committing yourvote. I am speaking for what may turn out to be a minority who oppose 24-hour visitation. Why opposesuch a policy? Because it threatens the right of privacy of every person who lives in a dorm on thiscampus. The right of privacy is a sacred right common to every citizen and must be protected. Oursociety has laws which protect that right. For example, " p e e p i n g tommery" is a misdemeanor."SPRING-BREAK IN HAWAII".- March 21-28 $279. per person Round Trip Pan Am Jet Clipper LeiGreeting on Arrival 7 Nights Hotel Accomodations at Waikiki TIME FOR SUN SURF Call Anne: 733-5910 SKI-ING VACATION IN SWITZERLAND-EASTER.

ANGLO-AMERICA ASSOCIATION 60A, Pyle St., Newport,I.W., Hampshire, England. Also on the books are laws governing the taking of pictures of people in their private dwellings without permission. Secondly, a blanket policy as t h i s does not take intoconsideration differing types of a r c h i t e c t u r e in dorm construction. The point is that most dormson campus are not self-contained apartment units. In the case of Mathes, Nash, Edens, lower Highland,and most of the Ridgeway complex, every room on any floor shares one bathroom. This makes itespecially awkward in the early morning or late evening hours when people are getting up or preparing for bed. Thus the policy introduces two peculiar problems not found in most normal living situations:Inadequate privacy for the o c c u p a n t s , and added inconvenience for guests of the opposite sex, allof whom must use one bathroom, usually located on the main floor. Thirdly, of course, is the p r o b l em of i n d i v i d u al responsibility. The policy states that "students must be held responsible for theiractions, for they are expected to act as a d u l t s , " and stresses this commendably. But these are but words with little muscle behind them. Most dorm policies governing visitation, pets, drugs, and liquorare either loosely enforced or not enforced at all, and violations are thus frequent. Some resident aidesturn t h e i r backs on their responsibilities. For example, in Higginson Hall, the staff has m a i n t a i n e d , by its own admission, a hands-off policy on dorm conduct. Even the willful vandalism of vendingmachines in the hall within the past two or three months has not changed this. In too many cases, many students are too busy rebelling against any type of rule, whether beneficial to their interests or not, tobother with "individual responsibility." If our goal is to create a more "realistic" living environment withinthe dorm structure, 24-hour visitation defeats that purpose by threatening a basic individual liberty ofprivacy, and c r e a t i n g a d d i t i o n al i n c o n v e n i e n c e for dorm residents and guests. Inaddition, it is absurd to grant additional liberties when responsibility and adequate e n f o r c e m e n tare not forthcoming. Cast your vote, but only after weighing both sides of the issues. What you decidewill affect the lives of every dorm student on this campus for better or worse. Jim Bromley SpeechSenior r k. ^ On a Saturday afternoon in 1958 tour hungry University of Washington students werebemoaning the fact that it was impossible to get a good pizza in the 'district' One of the four (thehungriest one) concluded, "The only way we're going to get a good pizza is to make it ourselves." It wasalso concluded that they had no money, they knew nothing about restaurant business, and that theymust be out of their minds. Three months later Pizza Haven opened. In the meantime they begged andborrowed about $3,000, read all they could about restaurant management, made and ate approximately173 pizzas until they came up with a combination they would be proud to sell to their classmates. Soonpromising careers in psych, history, math and pre-law were interrupted by the less intellectual pursuits oftable waiting, dough-cutting and sausage slicing. Somehow they survived that first year and havemanaged to do enough things right that they have grown from the U. District to the campuses of 15 othercolleges and Universities in Washington. No longer can you sit on the hard, wooden picnic benches orfeel the oven blast in the small store on the 'Ave,' but you still can get the best pizza at the best priceclose to campus. In recognition of the fact that Pizza Haven was started by college students for collegestudents and has based its success on this formula, Pizza Haven wishes to thank their old and newfriends on campus by having a 1958 Menu special on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 4,5,6...

Planned A new AS constitution, originally to be written by the r e s p o n si b l e l e a d e r s h ip committee, has been passed onto a newly formed subcommittee. AS legislatorAnn De Leon said, "it was time for a total r e s t r u c t u r i n g " of the old constitution, which"contained too many loopholes and was incomplete and vague in many places." Miss De Leon said thenew constitution would specifically call for better representation in s t u d e n t g o v e r n m e n t. R e pr e s e n t a t i v e s from publications, program committee and interhall committee will serve. The newconstitution stems from a campaign promise made by AS President Steve Cooper last fall quarter.Cooper said he would have the AS legislative and executive branch work together to write a newconstitution. The new constitution will eliminate problems like last quarter's invalid elections, Miss DeLeon said. The AS is planning to hire an expert in constitutional law to serve as an advisor and help with the actual rewriting. Anyone who is interested in helping with the rewriting is welcomed.

Playing their finest all-around game of the year, Western threw theEvco race wide open with the victory. Eastern still leads with a 6-1 record. Western and Whitworth aretied for second at 5-2, while Central, who lost to the Savages 61-59 last Friday, is fourth with a 4-2league ledger. It was a free throw by guard Mike Preston with 16 seconds left that provided the victorymargin. The charity shot gave Western a 76-73 lead and a field goal by Dave Hayden with three seconds remaining brought the final score to 76-75. Western never trailed in the first half, though tied at theintermission. The Vikings continued to ,h;old a slim lead throughout the second half until two field goalsby Hayden and one by forward Randy Buss gave Eastern a 65-64 lead with three minutes to go. Savageguard Darryl Harris netted two free throws moments later to stretch the margin to 67-64, the largest heldby the Savages. Then Viking center Rudy Thomas, who played brilliantly throughout the game and was outstanding in the final minutes, scored two baskets, the second a crucial tip-in that put Western infront 68-67 at the 2:37 mark. Again Harris, with a jump shot from the top of the key, got the lead back for the Savages 69-68, but Thomas,unstoppable, converted a three-point play to put Western on top 71-69. Forward Steve Barnett tied it 71-71. A jump shot by Viking captain Neal Larson made it 73-71 with 1:38remaining. Buss, on a twisting layup, knotted it again 73-73, but Western, not to be denied, took thelead for good on another pressure-packed jump shot by Larson with 51 seconds left. * Eastern failed toscore the next time down the court, though getting numerous shots in a near free-for-all that put thecapacity crowd in roaring hysteria. The Vikings finally got control on a rebound by Thomas and wentinto a stall. Preston was intentionally fouled by Buss. Though he missed the first shot, he converted thesecond to assure the victory. It was this same stalling tactic that proved disastrous to the Big Blue inthe first half. The Vikings saw their largest lead of western front SPORTS Grapplers Struggle to 7th InSan Francisco Tourney Western's wrestling squad pulled a seventh place finish out of the sixth annualSan F r a n c i s c o I n v i t a t i o n al Tournament Saturday. C a l i f o r n i a Polytechnic Institute ofSan Luis Obispo edged Seattle Pacific College 72-70 to win the 20-team single Elimination tournament. Three Western wrestlers placed fourth in their weight division; Admiral Flunder in the 1 1 8 pound level,Terry Beckstead at 134 and Lee Anderson at 157. Western led the tournament for a short while as allthe Vik wrestlers but one picked up first match victories. Four were pins. "I really think they did atremendous job," Coach Lanny Bryant said, and "they worked to their maximum." "We lost some realclose ones," he added. The team flew to San Francisco Friday, wrestled Ruggers Crush U of Oregon 9-0 Smiling Willy McCann may be walking around campus with a limp this week but he deserves therespect an injured athlete usually gets. McCann scored two great t r i ' s worth six points as Western'sRugby Club tromped the ruggers from the University of Oregon 9-0 here at Western last Thursday. In his first big score of the game, McCann simply out-ran everyone on the field as he scrambled 50 yards forthree points. His second score, though not as long, was more exciting as he mowed over two ruggerswho thought they could stop Smiling Willy's 35-yard journey to the goal line. A penalty kick byWestern's infamous Harry Dumptruck brought the score to a final 9-0. Western's second team beatOregon's second team 3-0. Ray Latta scored the only tri of that game on a twenty-five yard jauntcarrying two opposing ruggers across the goal line as he scored. Western's Rugby Club didn't fair aswell last Saturday as the first team lost 18-3 to the University of Washington. The seconds also lost asthe Huskie seconds won 6-0.

Costly turnovers allowed the Savages to come back and tie the score at the half on abasket by Buss. Western was near perfect at the free throw line, hitting 20 of 23 charity tosses, an 87per cent accuracy. In fact the Vikings hit their first 12 free throws before Lee Roy Shults missed thesecond shot of a one-and-one situation with 8:56 left in the game. A big factor in the win was the 39-26rebounding advantage held by Western. Thomas led with 15 and Shults had 11. Balanced scoring wasanother contributing factor as Thomas bucketed 20 points, Larson and Gary White each had 15 andShults 14. Larson hit 6 of 7 field goals and Thomas 9 of 16 as the Vikings hit 53 per cent from the fieldto Eastern's 49 per cent. White made nine straight foul shots to extend his string to 18 before missinghis final attempt of the game. The 6-5 junior, making the tough adjustment from forward to guard, turnedin a fine performance in his first game at that position. With White at guard coach Chuck Randall wasable to start forward John Reed. Thus the Vikings had a combined starting five weight of 1,055 pounds to effectively offset Eastern's 1,017 net weight. The 6-7 Hayden led all scorers with 26 points, but washeld to only 6 rebounds. Buss had 14 points, while Harris and guard George Gamble each had 12. TheEastern press, employed throughout the second half, made for 21 turnovers by the Vikings, compared to 17 for the Savages. Neal Larson fires away from the outside in early season action.

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.

W.D. BokamperJunior, History Anyone interested in this incident or related human rights is encouraged to come to ourThursday meeting. Ted W. 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.

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.

"Studentsrepresentatives may well smudge the issue," said Marvin Olmstead, a former Council of FacultyRepresentatives member. "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. Olscamp said student representation in collective bargaining would "depend on the issue," whether the students were involved with the topic under discussion.NOW OPEN MORCA ACADEMY OF CREATIVE ARTS Home of Spanish Dance Theatre Flamencoin Conceret Members of National Endowment for the Arts Complete professional Training in DanceClass Ballet Character Movement Conditioning Folk Variation Point Adult Beginners throughProfessional Children's Classes MORCA ACADEMY OF CREATIVE ARTS For Details Call 676-1864Write 1349 Franklin St. Bellingham, Wn. 98225 Advertise in the classifieds Blind student needsresponsible person to drive her to and from B B stable every Tuesday.

Viks bite Wolves in Saturday action by MIKE THOMPSON Hustle and muscle were the key ingredients Saturday night as Western's basketball squad rolled over the Oregon College of Education Wolves, 93-70. 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. "We did hustle the second half, but Western was a little rougher than us." What's comingup Today Women's basketball with AAU club team.

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.

The Vikettes ripped Oregon, 76-30, and only those earnest basketball diehards who enjoywatching constant turnovers and fast breaks paid attention. The victory gave Western a perfect 4-0 league record and 5-2 overall. First-year Oregon Coach Mary Covington, seemed a little lackadaisical as shewatched her team warm up. Four of her starters were out with injuries and she had already seen theBeavers beaten by scores of 97-17 and 56-16 this season. 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.

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.

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. Participants should eat a late breakfast or bring a sack lunch as dinner will be served in the lateafternoon. Tickets will be on sale this week at the VU desk. "Much Ado About Nothing" startsWednesday Western Theatre is presenting William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" tomorrowevening at Sehome High School's little theatre. The play will run through Saturday, July 22. "The basicmotivation of the play is youthful," said director Dennis Catrell in reference to the strains of playful love and energy of "Much Ado." 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. You may see some familiar faces from "Guys and Dolls" in "Much Ado" buthopefully not the same characters. Tickets are available at the Viking Union information desk and theticket office. 676-3873.

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?

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.

In the same motion the board resolvedto establish a Communications Council through which the three college publications, the Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy, would be funded and to which they would be responsible. The council would takeaffect Spring quarter. Under present policy the publications have been directly responsible to the Boardof Trustees through President Flora and the student publications council. However, during the pastseveral months a question has been raised about w h e r e the P u b l i c a t i o ns Council shouldreport. The College Services Council sent four separate proposals on the matter to the All-CollegeSenate Thursday. The four suggestions included reporting to the All-College Senate in two proposals,both the AS Board and College Services Council, or becoming departmentally related. According to theAS Board's motion, the Communications Council would develop a statement of policy and procedureaccording to a set of guidelines attached to the motion, and the editors of the three publications wouldbe held responsible for carrying out the policy. The AS Board would be responsible for publication policyand allocation of funds but not daily editorial decisions. The Communications Council could appeal to the All-College Senate any decisions of the AS Board which it felt were a threat to the publications. Theboard's position is that it cannot legally or morally "support a group which does not choose to be affiliated with" the Associated Students. Attending the meeting were more visitors than the board has had thisquarter. Rodger Painter, managing editor of the Western Front, said the Board of Trustees has delegated responsibility to the Publications Council, and this responsibility cannot automatically be switched toanother council. He said the AS Board would either be publishing separate publications or none at all.Rebecca Harris, AS Board member, repeatedly stated that the Associated Students cannot fund a non-AS group. Board member Joe Hann said that it is not fair to the students, the college or the communityfor publications to use space and equipment belonging to the Associated Students and not be affiliatedwith them. Publications fear that the AS Board will censure them by withdrawing funds, Harris said. BillDietrich, Publications Council member, said that they also fear censure from Flora and others, and thatfor maximum freedom they may try to initiate a subscription fee from students. An ad hoc committee ofthe publications council is currently investigating the feasibility of a subscription rate. An a l t e r n a t i v e to the Communications Council would be for publications to be under a senate council, in which casethey would no longer be a student activity, according to AS board members. The purpose of the board'saction, Harris said, is to establish publications as a student activity. Chairman Kennedy requested that a roll call vote be taken: five- board members voted for the motion, and two abstained. In response to theboard's action, Robert Thirsk, Publications Council chairman, said he didn't think the board had theauthority to dissolve the council. He said, "It's my understanding that President Flora approved the by-laws for the Publications Council. And only the college senate can change them. The board can'tarbitrarily drop the Publications Council or establish a Communications Council in lieu of it without theconsent of the Senate. The Senate is the only governing body that can do that, other than the Board ofTrustees." Council re-opens add!drop hearings The Academic Council has voted to reconsider itsdecision on implementation of the new add/drop rules. Acting chairman Joseph Crook announced March 6 as the date the council would re-open discussion on the new rules. The new add/drop rules whichwere approved last quarter by Academic Council has come under criticism because of its shortened drop period and its requirement that 80 per cent of all courses be successfully completed. The period duringwhich classes could be dropped would be limited to the first five days of the quarter by the new rules.Under current rules, classes can be dropped until the end of the sixth week. The new rules would allow a student to withdraw from a class after the drop period by taking a grade of "W" for the class. A "W"would be considered an unsuccessful completion. Grades of "F", "NP", "U" or unconverted "K", whichstands for an incomplete, would also be considered unsuccessful completions, but a "W" would not betaken into consideration in the calculation of the grade point average. It would be required, however, that 80 per cent of all courses taken be successfully completed. Failure to maintain an 80 per cent ratewould lead to academic probation and dismissal in much the same way as will failure to maintain a 2.0grade point average under existing rules. A major goal of the new add/drop rules was to cause thestudents to be responsible in the classes they register for. In Fall quarter 7,126 classes were dropped,nearly half of which were dropped too late to be added by students wishing to take the class. One side-effect of the decision to re-open hearings on the add/drop rules was the reversal of Academic Council'searly implementation of the "W" grading option. ••-• IT'S BLUNTED, just faking.

The self-study steering committee elected Jean Kruse as itsnew director Tuesday night. She will replace former director Harvey Stone. Kruse, former director ofHigginson and wife of the director of Nash, has been f a c i l i t a t o r of numerous self-study groups. As new director, Kruse said, "My first priority will be to get to everyone I can in the program and find outtheir feelings and . frustrations." . Kruse's second step will be to make a pamphlet, explaining s e l f - st u d y projects and presenting it to the faculty. Kruse will hold the position only five months. Even if thefederal grant is not renewed for self-study at the end of her term, Kruse wants to establish "good vibes"about the program so that it will continue. "It's a good educational process," Kruse said "and I believe it's viable." Even though it's a good Senate evaluation due soon Faculty relations major question by ALICE COLLINGWOOD A new concept in college governance for Western was born almost two years ago, andits progress will be reviewed soon. The All-College Senate had a slow childhood as it was organizingitself and learning about its constituencies. Many are only now beginning to recognize.its maturity. Thesenate was approved in principle by the Board of Trustees in June, 1971, and it is due for review at theend of two years. That review will determine whether the board will allow it to continue as it is or changeits constitution. If there is to be any question of the senate's effectiveness, some say it is likely to beaimed at the area of faculty-senate relations. Some senators believe challenges and non-cooperationfrom the faculty could undermine the senate's strength. Questions of the senate's powers in areas offaculty concern—such as salary schedules, grievances and tenure and promotion—have arisen sincethe senate was first formed. "The real problem is how to handle a small number of things which are notstudent concerns, REFERENCE TO SALARIES-Senate Chairman George Gerhold said the line between which matters the senate can handle and those it can't are blurred. such as faculty salary schedule,"Senator Robert Teshera of the geography faculty said. Teshera, who is also a Faculty Council member,said the question is who handles faculty affairs and how big that list is. He thinks students probably want a voice in tenure and promotion, which they would have were the senate to handle such matters, but hedoesn't believe they are, or should be, interested in deciding faculty salaries. Senate chairman GeorgeGerhold said the dividing line between which matters the senate can handle and those which it can't is a"very gray area." "This question has been' liffder debate ever since the senate was proposed," he said.Gerhold thinks one change that could be made in the constitution to clarify the senate's powers is insection 4.61. It says, in part: " . . . the Business and Finance Council shall appoint such committees asit deems appropriate to conduct its business. Among these committees there shall be appointed aWelfare Committee which shall have as its main function to develop and propose policies and schedulesfor salaries and fringe benefits throughout the College." Gerhold said union contracts cover most thingspertaining to faculty employment and this constitutional reference to salaries is a problem area. SenatorBrian Copenhaver of the general studies faculty believes the senate constitution will be approved by theBoard of Trustees if nothing intervenes between now and the time of the review. He thinks one of thethings that might intervene is a faculty vote against the senate. Knute Skinner, chairman of the FacultyCouncil, said the council may poll the faculty on the senate in conjunction with a review of whatrepresentation the faculty wants. One provision of the constitution allows the four senate constituenciesto organize themselves in any way they wish, with recognized agencies to represent and act for them.Teshera believes there are three alternatives for faculty representation: -Let the Faculty Council continueas a "limited-purpose" body. -Turn the functions over to the faculty members of the senate as a separate group. -Work through some collective bargaining agency. Senator Stanley Daugert of the philosophyfaculty, one of the original planners of the senate, said if the senate structure is finally approved as thecollege governing body by the Board of Trustees, the faculty still won't give up its powers. "The faculty isso jealous of its prerogatives that it isn't going to let the Board of Trustees tell it what to do," Daugertsaid. Teshera said he doesn't think both the senate and the Faculty Council will survive. He thinks thesenate is firmly established as the college decision-making body and will continue in existence. CollegePresident Charles J. Flora thinks the senate has been effective in doing the job it was set up to do-"bringing together -the various constituencies of the college" so problems can be discussed withmembers of all constituencies present. Copenhaver thinks some of the positive points the senate willhave when it is reviewed are its handling of such things as the Committee of Inquiry Report, administrative reorganization and the affirmative action program (for hiring women and minorities). ; "These point to aclear conception by the senate of its role in college life ana its willingness to act," he said. "The senateprovides a voice to the administration and the Board of Trustees that they are acting like they respect."Flora said the senate evaluation will be made during Spring quarter and that he does not yet have in mind any amendments that he will suggest regarding the senate structure. So far, he said, he is "pleased with the way it is developing." But Daugert expressed a note of uncertainty. "The.senate has lost somepower and has been challenged^ ignored and damned. It is hard to say how the review is going to go.''educational process, Kruse is frustrated with the way the program has been handled. Because of this,the new d i r e c t o r said that she understands the faculty's point of view. "Nobody really understandsthe procedure, or the self-study model for that matter," she said. "Not only is it a threat to their (thefaculty's) method of education, it's so sloppily handled, that it makes a bad impression," she said.About the self-study credit controversy, Kruse said, "something's got to be done about the way creditsare dished out." "We must show faculty, as individuals, what concrete results have come from self-study-we need their help," she added. Former director Harvey Stone is now program consultant, theposition he held last year. "I'm going to need him," Kruse said. "He's a very valuable person, and I'm glad he's staying on." PARKING LOT INCIDENT-Western student Steve Kirsop has been charged with thirddegree assault following a confrontation with security Feb. 4. Student charged: driving car at cop AWestern student was booked on charges of third degree assault following a Feb. 4 confrontation withsecurity in the Nash Hall parking lot. Steve Kirsop was driving a friend home early Sunday m o r n i n gwhen security patrolman, campus patrolman Dave Doughty approached his car and asked foridentification which Kirsop refused to produce. "I was dropping off a friend who lives at Nash Hall and Icould see no reason for the confrontation," he said. Then to avoid any further hassle, Kirsop said hestarted to leave the parking lot. The patrolman then stood in front of Jhe car, blocking it after it was inmotion, he said. Doughty then jumped onto the hood of the car as Kirsop was moving towards the exit,Kirsop said. T h e car t r a v e l ed approximately 50 to 60 feet when Kirsop's windshield was smashedby the patrolman's flashlight, according to Kirsop. Kirsop was "totally amazed by the whole ordeal." Heforesees a time when campus patrolmen, whose job is to issue tickets and protect campus p r o p e r ty , become police, enforcing actions that conflict with the rights of the students. He sees the incident as a "misunderstanding on the part of both sides as to who had the right to do what." Larry Daugert, aFairhaven lawyer, has taken Kirsop's case and the trial date will be set within a week. Security directorRobert G. Peterson, told the Front that no more information concerning the incident would be released at this time.

Louis Lallas, director of Western's Career Planning and Placement Center, saidthat "people who develop skills in looking for a job are much more successful" in finding one than people who don't have the skills. Job readiness includes letters of application, resumes, and interviewing skills. "In today's job market," Lallas said, "those who are landing jobs are those who can sell themselves. But . many students are unprepared in job readiness." In some cases, students have no idea what theywant and this has to be determined. Sometimes vocational tests are given and other times it's just a"matter of analyzing themselves. You cannot look for a position if you don't know what your goals are."When determining his employment needs, a student often wants a job that will fit in with his "lifestyle."The placement center provides information about companies and industries, and what kinds of jobs they offer. Unlike students in teacher education, who are usually "preparing for a specific teaching job,"students in the arts and sciences are entering a New rules stalled by Flora injunction very broad field ofemployment, Lallas said. He continued, "the basic needs" of both in job readiness "are still the same."The center provides step-by-step handouts, with detailed information, on the requirements for jobreadiness. Counselors at the center are available to explain the requirements. According to thehandouts, the first step of job readiness is writing letters of application and resumes. Letters should betypewritten on clean white SV^-by-l 1 inch paper and should be addressed to a specific person in orderto get proper attention. The first paragraph of the letter states the reason for writing to that particularcompany, and the second points" out specific qualifications of the writer. The last paragraph is aninvitation for further contact by mail or interview. Attached to the letter should be a one-page resume. Itshould include personal data (name, address, etc.), career objectives, education (since high school),scholastic and extracurricular information, employment experience, military status and date ofavailability. A resume serves many purposes. It can help a student determine and define his assets and liabilities, it can project his strongest qualifications and it Faculty Council declines collective bargainingjob The Faculty Council "declined the invitation" of College President Charles J. Flora to be consideredas a collective bargaining agent. In other action the council accepted the bid of Whatcom CountyPhysicians Service for faculty health insurance, and recommended guidelines for p u b l i s h i n ggrounds for promotion at its Feb. 15 meeting. Flora is asking all bodies on campus who are potentialcollective bargaining agents if they want to be considered for that job by the Board of Trustees. TheFaculty Council rejected the suggestion, with one member commenting 'that he "could not think of amore inappropriate body to take on this task." Welfare Committee chairman Willard Brown said that the bid of Whatcom County Physicians Service (W.C.P.S.) is $5 cheaper than the only other reasonablebid, which was offered by Blue Cross. He said that W.C.P.S. has also agreed to provide a bid for a major medical care program if enough faculty members do not want the comprehensive plan. T h e g u i d e l in e s for publication of grounds for promotion call for including the areas where the faculty memberexcelled. They specify that qualities which are evaluated as merely adequate not be listed. Thus, if aperson is promoted because of excellence in teaching, this would be noted. But if that person isevaluated as adequate in research, this would not be mentioned. The action is in response to Flora'srequest for guidelines on publication of promotions. Bach Mai fund drive raises $ 4 6 3 in B'ham A three-week fund raising-campaign in Bellingham has raised $463 for the rebuilding of Bach Mai hospital inHanoi. The drive, sponsored by the Human Rights Action Coalition (HRAC) and local Vietnam VeteransAgainst the War, is part of a nationwide campaign headed by Medical Aid for Indochina, Inc. All moneycollected goes directly to the fund for rebuilding the hospital which was destroyed by saturationbombing last December. Organizers of the drive see it as an important step toward what they call"popular responsibility." They believe U.S. citizens, as well as the government, must take an active rolein rebuilding Indochina. "The war was an act of our government with out funding and implied consent,"says Jeff Baloutine, a member of the HRAC, "We cannot abdicate total responsibility to the government for the rebuilding effort ahead. "With the Bach Mai hospital fund as the first step, people can expresstheir goodwill to the people of Vietnam by sending direct aid without depending upon the government todo everything for us." M e d i c a l Aid for Indochina,Inc., located in Cambridge, Mass., has set a $3million goal for the Bach Mai fund drive. In the first month of collecting, the American public donated$500,000. Baloutine said, "Response in Bellingham has been quite gratifying." can be part of hispermanent employee record and provide additional information to the employer. The resume can resultin an interview. Interviews are usually off campus, arid there is usually more than one interview for aspecific job. A preliminary interview d e t e r m i n e s if further interviewing of the candidate iswarranted. If so, an in-depth interview which covers the "life history" of the candidate and relies heavily on past experiences may be held.

Also, many interviewers feel that personal appearance is criteria that can either win or lose a job for the applicant. ERA battles State Senate The Equal Rights Amendment^ t o the U.S. Constitution" approved by Washington's House of Representatives by a 78 to 19 vote; nowwaits for Senate approval. P r o p o n e n t s of the amendment, which would grant equal, rights underthe law to all persons regardless of sex, expect it to have a hard fight in the Senate. There are 12women in the House; two voted against it. There are no women in the Senate. To bring the amendmentto a Senate vote, the Constitution and Elections Committee must pass it and then it will be put on thecalendar for a vote in the Senate. Twenty-seven states have approved the amendment to the U.S.Constitution; 38 are needed to ratify it. College President Charles Flora has granted an injunctionagainst recent decisions of the Academic Council on course withdrawal, probation and dismissal. Theaction came at Tuesday's AS Board of Directors meeting at the request of Board Chairman JimKennedy. The rules adopted by the Academic Council would require that all unwanted classes bedropped in the first five days of the quarter, and that students complete 80 per cent of quarterly andcumulative units or be issued a warning. The rules further state that if a "K" (incomplete) is not converted by the end of the following quarter, it would be counted as an unsuccessful completion. The AcademicCoordinating Commission will now review the rules. If it supports the Academic Council rules, themeasure could still go before the All-College Senate, Kennedy said. In other business, the AS Boardapproved a motion by student Linda Ballinger to establish an ad hoc committee to prepare a studentposition on faculty tenure and promotion. The committee, which is subject to review by the AS Board,will recommend policy to the Faculty Council.

Holly 733-9982 by ROB BALDWIN Six days a week, needypersons load up with cereal, macaroni, canned fruit, beans, milk or whatever else is on the shelf at theBellingham Food Bank, on Gladstone Street. Since the Food Bank was first set up in the basement ofthe Salvation Army building 18 months ago, volunteers have waged a running battle to keep the shelvesstocked with food. According to one Food Bank worker there is a crisis every month. "We've neveractually turned anyone away, but volunteers have sometimes had to go down to the store and buy foodwith their own money." Relying at the beginning on donations from churches and private citizens, thedemand for food grew to the point where the Food Bank's board of directors opted to join the SeattleNeighbors in Need, a food relief organization funded through a grant by the federal government. A monthly shipment supplies the bunk of the bank's food. According to one of the bank's coordinators, BeaTodhunter, the Food Bank served over 900 persons last c month. ^ "Every day it seems like people 3come in that have never been here k3 before. We try to give them a balanced ^ diet, but we're alwaysrunning out of lt;a things like meat, milk and eggs." aq "Some people think people just live off the FoodBank without trying to feed themselves. There are a few we feel are doing this, but most are n o t ." Each Food Bank user's name goes into a confidential file along with such information as whether or not theyreceive unemployment compensation, food stamps, social security payments, a pension, etc. and thenumber of children in the family. This is used to estimate the bank's need and keep track of who is using its services. All age groups use the Food Bank according to Todhunter. A lot of men RUNNINGBATTLE—The Food Bank tries to provide a balanced diet for people who come in, but it is alwaysrunning out of supplies. Some volunteers help stock the shelves by buying food with their own money.\IKI\G WUNCPY The college laundry has lower cost per student than any other laundry in town.

They can't live at home because their parents would be docked on their welfare checks. It's atough row to hoe." Local churches and individuals donate food and a little money and one recentneighborhood canvassing drive, organized with the help of the Army Reserve personnel and trucks, netted 40 boxes of groceries. But the Food Bank runs out of supplies every month and this June theNeighbors in Need federal grant will run out, dperiving the bank of its major supply of food. Another bankcoordinator, JoAnne Cross, hopes for a renewal of the grant on either the state or federal level. "We'vesent letters to Jackson, Magnuson, and Meeds and we're still encouraging people to talk to theirlegislators in Olympia, but we have nothing concrete. We're the most hopeful about Magnuson; he wasresponsible for the grant in the first place. When asked if larger food drives and church contributionscould make up for the loss of Neighbors in Need support, Food Bank workers said it was possible butnot probable. Similar banks in Ferndale and Lynden operate on the contributions of the town's people and churches alone, but the larger Bellingham community doesn't seem as responsive. Todhunter thinks ifthe grant is not renewed, and local contributions fail to make up the difference, the bank will have tobegin strict inspection of all applicants and start turning some away. Suggestions to avoid this havebeen: asking each person in Bellingham to donate one dollar to the bank; asking each church inBellingham to donate five dollars per month; and organizing city-wide paper drives. The Food Bank staffis determined to provide their services to anyone who needs them. As one worker said, "We'll operateany way we can." House passes 19-year-old drinking bill (The Senate Rules Committee bottled this bill Wednesday. For the second time, by a 7-6 vote, they chose not to send it to the floor.) The bill to lower the drinking age to 19 has been approved by the Washington State House of Representatives. Themeasure passed after an amendment to the bill increased the minimum age from 18 to 19. The bill isnow before the Senate Rules Committee. Its chances of reaching the floor during the current session are considered to be favorable. On the 80-17 vote for the bill, Reps. Barney Goltz, D-Bellingham, DuaneBerentson, R-Burlington and Don Hansey, R-Bellingham, voted in favor. Only Rep. Dan Van Dyk, D-Lynden voted against it. Van Dyk explained the major question involved the rights of majority, all of which were conferred by the last session except the drinking privilege. He said he couldn't support a bill which didn't recognize that question. ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 23,1973 Western Front 5 the „ western front editorials...

Q19?3 6.Mrter New council isbad idea Press repression is alive and well on Western's campus. The AS Board of Directors Mondaycapped a series of threats and ultimatums to publications by resolving to create their own"Communications Council" and have it responsible for student publications. The board decided toconstruct a new council around a policy which—less than a week earlier—was labeled "unworkable" by he Student Publications Council and rejected by the College Services Council. As its rationale for theaction, the board blames the Publications Council for not affiliating itself with the AS government. Theresolution to create a new council replaced an earlier board motion to cut off all funds for publications atthe end of this quarter. What the board, in its impatience, has failed to take into account is that thecurrent Publications Council is responsible to the Board of Trustees through the college president. Acouncil so established has no authority to "affiliate" itself with Associated Students or anyone else.Also, the trustees, through the president, have authorized the current Publications Council to act for thecollege as publisher of The Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy. For one faction on campus to try tosupercede that authorization and claim for itself the role of campus publisher is not only dangerous, it'sridiculous. The board of directors say they will still expect the trustees to accept legal responsibility forcollege publications, even though the trustees will have no voice in how they are structured and operated. This is extremely unlikely. Another aspect of the problem that the AS board fails to recognize is that thequestion of where publications should fit into the all-college governance structure has been sent to theAll-College Senate. Until the Senate decides where publications fit in, it would be ludicrous for thepresent Publications Council to "affiliate" itself with any group. Likewise, it is just as ridiculous for anyone Senate constituency, like AS, to decide that it will be the publications' boss and act as campuspublisher. Still more ridiculous and infantile have been the "You better play ball with us or we'll cut yourfunds" ultimatums that student government has ' been sending to the Publications Council and to thepublications staffs themselves. Another flaw in the AS thinking is in the actual implementation of the"Communications Council." Its document calls for representatives from the publications staffs, from theSenate's Faculty Caucus, the Staff Council and the administration. But until the publications matter issettled on an all-college level, it is extremely doubtful that these groups will send anyone to the ASBoard's new maverick council. The basic point that the AS Board seems to miss is that the only way toinsure a free press on campus is to so structure the publication process so that no one group can takecontrol or impose its wishes. The board's- attitude toward publications demonstrates, at best, a grossmisunderstanding of the situation, and at worst, a desire for press control ala Nixon. The directors saythey have the power to back up their action because they hold the purse strings to publications. If thisproves to be the case, then it only serves to demonstrate that it's high time the publications purse strings be placed in steadier, more responsible hands. / tbe_ western front staff EDITOR: Jack BroomMANAGING EDITOR: Rodger Painter PRODUCTION: Duff Wilson EDITORIAL PHONE 676-3161SPORTS: Howard Scott ADVERTISING PHONE 676-3160 COPY EDITORS: James Heitzman, RahnLahti, Dennis Mansker, Judy Mooers, Dennis Ritchie AD MANAGER: Richard Roff GRAPHICS: ElsiVassdal, Sue Giese BUSINESS MANAGER: Terri Whitney PHOTO EDITOR: Roberi NealePHOTOGRAPHERS: Bob McLauchlan, Thomas Schultz, Jim Thomson REPORTERS: ChristineAnderson, Scott Anderson, Rob Baldwin, Alan Bauer, John Brewington, Jim Brooks, Sonja Brown, DougCockburn, Alice Collingwood, Bill Dietrich, Nicholas Gardner, Victoria Hamilton, John Harris, Bruce-Hayes, Rochelle Henderson, Heidi Henken, Tom Home, O.K.

[ letters. • • • Finds no 'love' in atheists Editor, Western Front: Iwas quite intrigued when I picked up a Western Front and read '"Militant Atheists' Counterattack," so Iopened my paper and found an article entitled "Atheists Organize Against Christians." Somehow whatI'd read up to this point just didn't bring visions of love and non-violence to my mind. And then, when Iread '"Our first target is the Campus Crusade for Christ'," I looked skyward to see if any bombs werefalling. I never could find the word "LOVE" in the article, yet God loves us all even if we are atheists whodon't know that He exists. Perhaps if these people would seek God's love both in the Bible and in theirhearts they would find that Christians aren't attacking them. Our goals are pretty much the same, ifpeople don't wake up to themselves they all will perish. Doug Coleman Snohomish, Wash. Hospital fee 'outrageous* Editor, Western Front: Your article in high praise of St. Luke's Emergency Facilities(Emergency center operates efficiently; Feb. 16, 1973) ignores the single largest problem. I quote fromthe article itself "The cost of emergency treatment varies at St. Luke's. A flat emergency fee ($10) andphysician's fee ($12) is charged to all patients." The writer seems to pass by this outrageous fee as if itwere nothing. An emergency center must not only be efficient, but must be economically open to all. Ifone has to weigh the question of whether or not to see medical help, then there is something horriblywrong. Dick Falkenbury Fairhaven Disruption policy puzzling Editor, Western Front: These Christianfanatics have gone too far! They dare proclaim their message in classes! So the campus—studentsand administration—is up in arms over this clear and present danger. Dean McDonald emphasizes thatthese Christians are out of line and violate college policy. But, tell me this. During the past three or fouryears when disrupting, nihilist students took over parts of many class periods with their "take it over-shut it down, occupy and desecrate, talk no-violence yes, grant our non-negotiable demands, the college isirrelevant and dehumanizing, down with e v e r y t h i n g " messages the student body at Western, thecollege administration and Dean McDonald were curiously silent! Question: Where were the objectors to, usurping class time then? Why did it take the college approximately three years to announce a policyagainst class disrupters? Answer: Fear. Everybody knows you can squelch Christians without fear ofphysical retaliation. Christian students won't seize buildings, wire bombs or initiate physical violence.But how we all quaked in our shoes while those other persuaders held sway! Truth is, even, our collegeadministration dared not oppose them. But Christians? Everybody knows they're easy targets. Nobody's afraid of them! No, I'm not a Jesus freak or fanatic. I'm just a neutral student trying to understand thewhole scene, not just the easy part of it. Alan C. Greene 614 High Street Baby bibs for borrowersEditor, Western Front: Once again I must speak out against another golden shaft wielding policy whichis being perpetrated against us humble undergraduates. Keeping in mind several budget limitations, Isuggest that Wilson Library purchase baby bibs and feeding spoons. Such purchases would be more inkeeping with then-present library check-out policy' for faculty and graduate students. The present policyallows quarter privileges for graduate students and yearly for faculty. Undergraduates have only a twoweek check-out. I know personally of incidents where graduate students and faculty have received"casual" reminders and mild remonstrances for materials checked out eons ago, while someundergraduate students have been observed, figuratively speaking, to prostrate themselves beforecertain library zealots for going one day beyond the grade period. I personally have had to contactprofessors to obtain overdue material for my research which they had forgotten about in the trunk of theircar. That the library desires to. retrieve overdue material for use by others is admirable; that it allowsspecial privileges to some as an official policy is a personal affront to my sense of fair play. Thejustification for this policy is unclear. It is alleged that the faculty and graduate students seem torepresent a special class and ought to have special privileges. It is also alleged that their need touselibrary materials is seen as more "legitimate" than an undergraduate's need. Such justifications areat best highly suspect and in some cases a laughing matter. I challenge Wilson Library to offer anyjustifications for such policies. I might also add that some of the library staff has also expresseddisapproval of such a policy. I recognize that a new policy m e a n s erasing another t i m e - h o n o r e d academic institution. I'm not sure the faculty is ready for it. After all, I know some of the faculty arestill brooding over no freshmen beanies or homecoming dances.

WK by ALICECOLLINGWOOD A single-engine plane sped down the runway of Bellingham Airport, climbed into the sky and took four people on an unusual field trip. They took to the air to examine the natural and man-madefeatures they so often study on maps, to bring a touch of reality to their paper world. They were students in Robert Teshera's geography 460 class, the teaching of geography. The students were learning how tomake a field trip meaningful by planning one, taking part in it and evaluating its effectiveness. Their flightplan took them from Bellingham Airport to Ladner, B.C., then east to Mission City, B.C., south to LakeWhatcom and back to the airport. Using map scales, distances and the plane's speed, the students haddetermined the time needed for each leg of the trip down to one-half minute, and the plane was only twominutes late touching down at the airport. Teshera believes such a field trip is a "vehicle" for usingdifferent types of maps—flight charts, topographical sheets and others—and translating them intoreality. He said he first realized the drawbacks to earthbound geography field trips as a graduate student on a flight from Washington to Montana. As the plan passed over the Columbia River Basin, he saw theterrain in a different light, and patterns A VIEW FROM ABOVE-Jim Smith and Robert Teshera look downat terrain surrounding Bellingham. LAND TAKES ON NEW DIMENSIONS-Geography| Frazier RiverValley. of erosion and development of land mass became evident to him. "I saw flying as a means oftranslating between map and real earth," he said. Jim Smith, a graduate geography student who planned the leg of the trip between Ladner and Mission City, B.C., said the main objectives of the flight were toview a big city, a couple of major river systems and farmland development. Smith, who has taughtgeography at the junior and senior high school levels for six years, said there are still a number ofgeography teachers who take the "capital city, highest mountain, main product of a country" approach toteaching geography. "They don't try to convey why the people of a region live the way they do," he said.Smith thinks this approach stems from competition among teachers to have their students get highmarks in the National Achievement Test, which asks such questions.

With bothsexes present, "the men check on the women's behavior and vice-versa," said Preston. About thewomen, she said, "They've got male company, so they don't have to sneak."

Shannon Point Marine Center construction begins,open to all Construction began on a $354,522 laboratory-classroom at Shannon Point Marine Centernear Anacortes, with a ground breaking ceremony last Tuesday. College President, Charles J, Flora, and the director of Shannon Point, William C. Summers of Huxley College, were among the attendingofficials. The facility will be administered by Western. Its services will be available for use by academicdepartments and cluster colleges at Western as well as by students from a consortium of statesupported colleges. - The consortium members are: Central and Eastern Washington State Colleges,Skagit Valley College and E d m o n d s and Everett Community Colleges. Students from any stateinstitution of higher education will be able to study at the facility. The laboratory-classroom building is athree-story masonry structure, with exterior walls of giant brick, reinforced concrete floors and a,red;cedar-shake roof. Shops, a receiving area, a lecture hall and wash-up facilities are to be located inthe daylight basement, with instructional laboratories and aquarium space on the first floor.

A long agenda faces the All-CollegeSenate Monday night, with items ranging from administrative reorganization to internal publications.College President Charles J. Flora gave the senate his proposal for administrative reorganization inJanuary, and a senate ad hoc committee has been working on suggested revisions. The plan calls forchanges in lines of responsibility for administrators. A College Services Council p r o p o s a l for internal communications will be presented to the senate for consideration. It calls for making FAST, the faculty and staff newsletter, the disseminator of information for faculty. This would include policy statements,agendas and minutes of meetings and actions of college agencies, as well as-the regular offerings of the newsletter. The proposal also encourages The Western Front to publish the contents of the studentactivities bulletin, which would be discontinued. The daily bulletin would be posted on all conspicuousbulletin boards and sent to the Associated Students, the Viking Union staff and academic departments. The Executive Committee will also make a recommendation for formation of a committee to review the senate. The Board of Trustees requested the review when it approved the senate in principle almost two years ago. The committee will e v a l u a t e the s e n a t e 's effectiveness and make any .recommendations for changes it thinks are necessary. A six-man committee is suggested by theExecutive Committee, composed of the heads of each of the four senate constituencies (students,faculty, administrators and staff) and two senate faculty members. The senate Committee on Councilsand Committees will present some information on the affirmative action program for hiring of women andminorities.

TO BE COMPLETED THIS FALL-An artist's sketch of what the Shannon PointMarine Center will look like when completed. Construction began this week. office-laboratories, dry labs,a darkroom and administrative offices are planned. An electrical heating system will eliminate emissions into the air at the laboratory facility. Fluorescent lighting will be installed. All structural elements willremain exposed for low maintenance and construction cost. Floors will be bare concrete with interior,walls having exposed masonry except for a portion on the second floor. There are no suspendedceilings or other cover-up materials. Shannon Point is located on 71 acres immediately west of theWashington State Ferry Terminal at Anacortes. The site contains 2,900 feet of shoreline a freshwaterpond and a forest area. The Marine Center was developed primarily for undergraduate instruction andresearch in the marine sciences. The laboratory will complement graduate-level research facilitiesoperated by the University of Washington at Friday Harbor. Attempts have been made to make the newbuilding as unobtrusive as possible. It probably will not be possible to view it from a distance, exceptfrom the air. Completion of the building is scheduled for fall of 1973. Included in the project in addition to the laboratory and classroom building are an access road, a parking area and a sea-water pumpingsystem. A small residence unit, a visitors' center and a conference center are tentatively planned forlater phases of development.

But today Allan Kaprow is happening at Western, organizing one of the participatory art forms for which he has become famous. Kaprow is a painter, sculptor, critic, designer of environment and primeinventor of the spontaneous "happening," an art form that has spread world wide and one in which he isinviting Western students to take part. The Happening blurs art and life, using t w e n t i e t h centuryjunk, creativity and environment to blend everyday experience into slightly wild activities that reflect onpeople and what they do. Kaprow's Western happening will be unique, enlisting the participation of asmany Western students as want to • volunteer into an afternoon-long event that will begin at noontoday. A discussion of the.happening will follow at 8 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge. Kaprow'sHappening is sponsored by the Continuing Symposium on the Contemporary Arts, the NationalEndowment For the Arts and the Whatcom Museum Society. Students interested in participating inKaprow's art should gather in the Viking Union Lounge at noon today. Gene Garber of the English faculty says that Kaprow will use 100 to 150 people or more. Kaprow stresses that his fluid art form is to beexperienced, not just observed. He has been studying Western and Bellingham since yesterday,deciding what form the happening will take. Teams of participants will probably be sent all overBellingham to perform their role in the production. Garber advises a sack lunch be taken by .participants. Kaprow has organized more than 100 happenings in the past, some of which have included a mockmurder and funeral, a marriage between a girl and a compact car, playing a Beatles record in arefrigerator and making a jelly sandwich out of an automobile hood. » A Happening called the"Courtyard" involved the erection on a 30 foot high frame mountain covered with a tarp in a hotelcourtyard. Actors on three hotel floors shouted at each other across the mountain as it erupted withblack paper balls, dishes, and pots and pans. A girl in a night gown listening to a transistor radioclimbed to the top of the mountain with considerable sensuality, followed by mock press photographerswho took pictures of the girl as she struck cheesecake poses. Then a second mountain descended fromwhere it had been suspended upside down above the courtyard. The Happening's climax came when thetwo mountain peaks joined, swallowing the girl. Kaprow has been using the debris, smells, lights, andsounds of civilization for 20 years to develop first an art that surrounded the viewer, called theEnvironment, and then his more informal and changing Happenings, set in fields, breweries, and woods.Kaprow stresses that the Happening mixes art and life, occurs only once, and makes time variable anddiscontinuous. His erasure of distinctions is reflected in that his work has been discussed in journals ofpoetry, painting, dance, architecture, music, drama, education, and in Time Magazine under "ModernLiving." Kaprow, 45, who has studied painting with Hans Hoffman and music with John Cage, is anAssociate Dean at the California Institute of the Arts. His work has been exhibited in major museums inAmerica and Europe, and he has won the Copley Foundation Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. 'The Getaway' is tasteless by DAVE PETERSON Relying on the amount of bullets fired instead of acting,"The Getaway" is a tasteless robbery thriller with McQueen and MacGraw terribly miscast. The storytakes place in Texas where recent prison p a r o l e e "Doc" McCoy (McQueen) and his wife Carol (AliMacGraw) are told to rob a bank of a huge sum or else see Doc back behind bars. T a k i n g twopeculiar henchmen to do the basics, the McCoys succeed, but one of their cohorts shoots a cop. Backat the rendezvous the remaining henchman, Rudy (Al Lettieri), attempts to take the money and run but,alas, Doc draws first and gives him five or six bullets into his bullet-proof vest. The McCoys then drive to the instigator's home, she shoots him and the dynamic duo take the money and run. From here on outSam Peckinpah's direction delights in showing the contorted features of bullet-riddled men as a line ofred marks the very methodical escape of the McCoys. Steve McQueen as Doc, the gun-slinging, wife-slapping meanie, does his best acting with his shotgun instead of his mouth or vocal chords. I guessLecture series starts Sunday A concert and lecture series titled "Sundays at Three" will be offered bythe Center for Continuing Studies beginning Sunday. The series will feature a variety of programs inmusic and the arts at 3 p.m. each Sunday, in the presentation room of Wilson Library. Sunday's offering will be "Yevtushenko: A Voice of Russia and the World." The Readers' Theatre from the University ofWashington will present selected poems, autobiographical writings, thoughts and music whichexemplify the Russian poet, Yevengney Yevtushenko. Other programs in the series will include a"lightscape" presentation combining music and visual imagery by Paul Dusenbury; a concert featuringmusic of Northern India with Zakir Hussein (son of Alia Rakha who accompanies Ravi Shankar) on theTabla Dru; and a presentation of paintings of various historical periods by Thomas Schlotterback,associate professor of art at Western, who will acquaint the audience with the character of the peoplewho lived during those times. The audience will have an opportunity to talk with the performers whilerefreshments are served—exotic teas and coffees from the Fairhaven Spice Shoppe. Admission to oneshow is $1.50 for adults and 50 cents for children. Series tickets cost $6 for adults and $1.50 for children under 12 and will only be sold prior to the first performance. all good actors lay an egg once in awhile.His dense, dull wife Carol is played terribly by Ali MacGraw to no real fault of her own abilities exceptthat she took the part. The first two words she says are, "I'm sorry," and maybe she was. Possiblynoting that the relationship between Doc and Carol was not erotic, an obscene subplot hatches on filmbetween Rudy and Fran. As far as the action of the movie is concerned this weird diversion is a flatabortion. If Peckinpah liked to direct actors as much as showing the viewer in slow motion that hisbullets, indeed, hit their target, he might find a good movie with his name on it. But this is not it.

At left is Ryan's mother Ard with clinic nurse Mrs. G. Salisbury giving the shot. Health department offers many community services by PATT JOHNSONMany students think the Whatcom County Health Department is synonymous with VD checkups andPlanned Parenthood. Although these are the best-known services to the college community, thedepartment offers many other diversified services. The biggest single program sponsored by the HealthDepartment at 509 Girard is immunizations. It is the community center for vaccines and overseas shots.There is a sliding fee schedule for those who can pay. This program is geared for the general populationand is open every afternoon. The fastest-growing program is the Well Child program. This programprovides examinations for babies to see that they are growing properly. Patients get routineimmunizations. Also included in the program are classes to teach mothers how to raise their children.This is a free program designed for low-income people and is held mornings by appointment. There isalso a free tuberculosis outpatient treatment clinic which includes about 1,000 patients. X-rays and drugs are administered to patients who need them. Another free service is the Venereal Disease clinic heldevery afternoon by appointment. College students comprise one-half of the Health Department's load.Infectious cases are treated and interviewed for contacts who are advised to contact the clinic or go totheir private physician for treatment. The Conservation of Hearing program is a free service designedmainly for preschool-age children. Children suspected of having hearing problems can have their hearingchecked at the Health Department. Schools are required by State law to check pupils' hearing everyother year. Children who have a hearing a loss are treated at the Health Department or sent to a privatedoctor. A free Mental Retardation Diagnostic Service also geared for young children offers completetests for children suspected of being retarded. Through a nursing service, clinic nurses work as I schoolnurses for schools that don't hire their own. These include Blaine, Ferndale, Meridian, Mt. Baker andNooksack school districts. A Family Health program provides counseling to financially or otherwisedeprived families on what sort of medical care is needed for the family and where to find it. TheCommunity Health program maintains a continuing communicable disease surveillance for the county.For this purpose, a complete stock of materials and mailing containers for sending specimens to theState laboratory is kept at the Health Department. The Mental Health and Illness program advises people of where to find help. A psychologist and nurse on the staff investigate complaints by family or neighbors and either advise the ill person about treatment or seek a commitment through the courts. There is alsoa clinic which provides further treatment to patients returning from institutions. The birth and deathcertificates of people who are born or die in Whatcom County are obtained and on file at the HealthDepartment. The food handler's test for restaurant workers is given at the Center. Environmental Healthspecialists also licence and make periodic inspections of food service "establishments to upgradesanitary standards. Health Department officials inspect and sample milk at both dairies andpasteurization plants to ensure proper production of milk and milk products. They also inform consumersof potential health hazards associated with raw milk consumption. Officials also sample public andprivate water supplies to ensure that water sources are free from contamination and to requireconstruction of water facilities which provide safe, adequate water. Sewage tanks are also inspected toeliminate faulty systems and to reduce sewage pollution of underground and surface waters. After a fullday of these programs, three nights a week the facilities are opened to Planned Parenthood. This is oneof the better-known programs at the clinic. Planned Parenthood has its own board, but the HealthDepartment handles grants for it and donates the building and some help. As Dr. Phillip Jones, directorof the clinic stated, the Whatcom County Health Department is "basically a double-shift clinic." New poli sci major-minor approved A new major-minor concentration in political science to be offered in Fallquarter, 1973, has been approved by the Academic Council. The new concentration will be an alternative to the present requirements for political science majors. The total course requirement, which variesbetween 104 to 119 credits, satisfied both a major and minor. Several courses are required that wouldsatisfy general e d u c a t i o n requirements, including a number of classes outside the political science department. Other departments to have courses in the concentration are English, speech, sociology,psychology, economics, business administration, mathematics and H u x l e y C o l l e g e o fEnvironmental Studies. Students wishing to become interns will have a choice of two programs. Thelegislative internship will involve working with the state legislature in Olympia. The administrativeinternship will involve working in a government office, probably in Bellingham.

Hoopstresses run victory stringto 17 Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) junior varsity wereadded last weekend t o the women's varsity basketball team's string of 15 straight victories. Westerncame back from a week plagued with injuries and illnesses to barely defeat SFU 48-45 and UBC 55-53.Claudia Haaker (6-0) started her first game of the season in place of the Viks' usual center TheresaNafziger (6-1) who was on the bench recovering from an illness. Alice Textor started the Viks' scoringagainst SFU three minutes into the first quarter with a lay-in off of a steal by Kathy Hemion and a keypass by Trena Page. SFU's center Sheila Strike counter-attacked with a five foot shot from the center of the key. Strike went on to score 20 points in the game. Hemion scored eight points in the first quarterto lead the Vikings to a 16-4 advantage. Western continued to control the game in the second quarterwith its fast break lay-ins bringing the halftime score to a one-sided 27-12. Free throws by Western'sWendy Hawley and Trena Page and points scored from two steals by Alice Textor stretched the Viks'lead to 40-31 with 5:53 left in the game. Hemion had 16 points and Hawley had 13 points to lead theVikings to their 48-45 win. Western's second game of the day started with the UBC jayvees jumping to a quick 4-0 lead. Claudia Haaker's successful 6-footer, two free throws and an eight foot hookshot duringa two minute rally spurred the Viks onto a 9-8 lead. The UBC jayvees started an effective full court press early in the second quarter and tied the game up 21-21. The combined efforts of Haaker, Hemion,Textor and Geri Campbell settled the frantic Vikings down to recapture the lead 31-27. Fatigue took itstoll on Western in the third quarter and UBC crept back even with the Vikings 38-38. "I think we reallyplayed well considering we had many players fighting illnesses," Viking Coach Lynda Goodrich said."Claudia Haaker came off the bench and did an excellent job." Western's junior varsity ended its season Tuesday night with a 48-42 victory over the University of British Columbia Senior B team.

The Vikings travel to Ellensburg to match up against Washington State University(WSU) and Central Washington. Both WSU and Central will be leading contenders for the regionaltournament crown Little Blue beats Falcons Jumping out to a huge first half lead, Western's freshmanbasketball team held off several attempted rallies to defeat Vancouver, B.C. City College last week, 71-51. The win gave the Little Blue an 8-9 season record with one game remaining on their schedule.Western's hot-shooting and rebounding in the first half gave the Vikings a 45-17 lead at the intermission.The Viks' defense held the Falcon offense to only one shot most of the time, usually from long range. Inthe second half, Vancouver put on a rally at the start of the half, outscoring Western 11-0 in the first four minutes. The Falcons closed the gap to 13 at one point, outscoring the Vikings 21-7 before Westernfinally caught fire to close the game out with a rally of its own. The Vikings' "mini-offense" again led theway for Western as Bob Hoefel, Jamie Greene and Ken Kelley, all under six feet tall, scored 43 ofWestern's points. Hoefel, the team's leading .scorer, hit nine-of-12 shots from the field and finished with22 points to lead all scorers. Greene scored 11 and Kelley had 10. Hoefel and Randy Jorissen led theLittle Blue's board attack with 10 rebounds each as Western out-rebounded VCC, 57-48. Randy Allanwas the only Falcon in double figures with 12 points as the Vikings held Vancouver's high-scoring Blake Iverson to only nine points. Iverson had scored 26 in a previous game with Western, won by the Viks,70-68, in a tight battle in Vancouver. Coach Gary Burch will lead his Little Blue into Seattle Wednesdayfor the final game of the season, a return match with the Seattle University junior varsity.

Thesix member team will face Southern Oregon and Central. These are the only schools in the conferenceto field swim teams. The Viks will be sending four swimmers, Tom Ward, Don Williams, Bruce Johnsonand Paul Simmerly, and two divers, Robin Allen and Doug Brown. Ward, this year's captain, willprobably be swimming the 100 and 200 yd. butterfly and with the 50 yd. freestyle. Williams, along withWard, will be swimming the 100 and '200 butterfly and the 500 yd. freestyle. Johnson will swim in the100 yd. and 200 yd. backstroke and the 500 yd. freestyle. Simmerly will round off the team with the 100 and 200 yd. breaststroke and the 200 yd. individual medley. All four swimmers will enter the 400 yd.medley relay and the 800 yd. freestyle relay. Both divers will compete in the one and three metercompetition. Allen is a former Evco diving champion. which will be. fought over next week at Western.Western took second to WSU in last year's tournament and barely defeated the Cougars 53-47 in theironly meeting this season. WSU's main offensive threat is 6-5 center Jennifer Gray. Gray was out withan injury in the Viking's previous game against the Cougars and may make a big difference in tomorrow's game. A win over WSU will give the Vikings the i psychological advantage when they meet the Cougars in the regional tournament. Both teams have a good chance of making the finals since they are the twotop seeds. Central will be out to revenge its close 47-43 loss to the Viks earlier this year. The Wildcats'scrappy playing brought them back from a 21-13 halftime score to take the lead twice in the fourthquarter. "Central is always tough," Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "It should be a real dog fight." Westerndestroyed Central's ho'pes for the regional championship last year by knocking the Wildcats out of thetournament in a semi-final game. Western's chances for a double victory tomorrow lie in its ability tomaintain a fast break pace. "If our running game is on neither team will be able to stop us," Goodrichsaid.

Services claim cuts unjust by RICROFF SONJA BROWN Prefacing itsrecommendations on how to cut the budget of student services, the Ad Hoc Committee on StudentPersonnel Budget pointed to President Charles Flora's "apparent lack of insight and understanding" andthe Board of Trustees' "precipitous action based in part on eleventh-hour pleas." In its report to Dean ofStudents C. W. "Bill" McDonald on ways to cut the budget by 30 per cent, the committee, after meetingalmost daily for the past three weeks, urged McDonald to advise the president of the "grave concern"over the reduction, to request a formal audience before the Board of Trustees and to convince AcademicVice President Jerry Anderson and Business Manager Don Cole that the reductions be shared by otherareas besides those falling under the Dean of Students Office. In the face of what seemed to themunjust reductions, noting that library acquisitions were cut none at all, the committee (composed of RayRomine, associate dean, who chaired the committee; Dr. Kenneth Jernberg, director of the StudentHealth Service; Saundra Taylor, director of the Counseling Center; and Louis Lallas, director of theCareer Planning and Placement Office) made the following recommendations of where funds might becut: —$42,000 by transferring resident directors and aides to the Housing and Dining budget; -$10,000or $5,500 by reducing stipends to graduate students in student personnel administration; -$30,000 (in1973-74) by returning to financial aids federal overhead monies generated by that office; -$20,000 byreturning to the placement office monies generated by that office; -$11,000 by reductions in theCounseling Center; -$20,000 or $10,000. by reducing h e a l t h services budget; also recommended was the transfer of the health service to St. Luke's Hospital; —$53,213 by 10-month employe appointments; —$26,656 by 11-month employe appointments; $42,000 or $84,000 by assessing students a $2 or $4health fee. McDonald will present a "progress report" on the cuts at the Board of Trustees meeting,tentatively set for Jan. 10. 'Everyone is hurt, but no one is bleeding to death.' Dr. Kenneth Jernberg,director of Student Health Services, defended his area during testimony to the committee saying that3,000 students a quarter pass through its doors, and for some it is a service which enables them to stayin school. Those students who do not use it nevertheless have a right to expect a health service to beavailable, he said. In answer to Romine's belief that educational functions should have priority overservice functions, Dr. Jernberg testified that the main purpose of health services was indeed to providehealth care therefore regulating health e d u c a t i o n to second place. "However, we are now buildingprograms in nutrition and preventive health care into the service," he said. With the elimination of theCounseling Center students would lose a voluntary, free and confidential counseling service, which lastyear served 17 per cent of the student body, Saundra Taylor, director of the center, reported. About 800students a year have problems of "moderate severity," Taylor said, adding that close to 200 a year could "drop out of school without counseling." The Bellingham community would be unable to provide thepsychological crusading students need and workshops and self-study projects would not provide anadequate substitute. Associate and assistant deans defended their services, expressing a desire forstrong leadership and coordination of services. One suggestion for lifting the "fog" surrounding theirfunctions was clustering several of the services into a development center. Judging his office to beamong the most crucial to students Richard Coward of Financial Aids said the least effective servicesshould be cut rather than making across-the-board cuts. Louis Lallas, director of Career Planning andPlacement, pointed out the changes in the employment situation since 1969, which marks the end of an era of plentiful job opportunities. "More than ever graduates have to demonstrate job readiness and learn the skill of job seeking," he said. Ninety per cent of 1971-72 graduating seniors used his office's service, he added. The committee designed the proposal so as not to seriously eliminate any one service areaor personnel. But it was met with general disapproval by the student services heads. Romine stressedhis committee's efforts to find "loose and floating RAY ROMINE funds" rather than hurting one servicearea more than another. Coward termed the proposal as a "cop-out" by the committee since it "cuteveryone across the board." "I'm not for sorting people out," Coward said. "But the committee is takingthe easy way out. This way everyone is hurt but no one is bleeding to death." Coward further supportedhis feelings saying the committee's duty was to determine which services, met the student and college's need and that it should have found out what services it could do without. Assistant Dean Tim Douglascriticized the Board of Trustees' action in hastily accepting the Mitchell Report that detailed reductions incollege services. "We should go to the board and raise Cont. on pg. 9 Heating fuel rationing couldclose Western BLOOD THIRSTY-The King County Blood Bank obtained 186 pints of blood during itsTuesday drive at the Viking Commons and a bank spokesman called the drive a success. The blood willbe used wherever necessary in northwest Washington. .... •.-. v.v•.•.•.•.•.•. lt;•:•.•-,-v\: lt;: lt;-\••.: lt;\:.\x\\-. .••.:.'.:'..•,•,.--..-•,•.-.-,••,•,:•/•.•••,•,•.,-,• • • .......... by KEN OLSEN Classes atWestern may have to be suspended from time to time next quarter due to critical gas and fuel oilshortages. There is a "dramatic possibility" of closures next quarter if the "middle-cut oil" Western'sphysical plant uses as a secondary fuel for heating comes under proposed government allocation plans,according to Gerald Brock, administrator of Western's business management office. Any decision toclose the college in the event of such an emergency would ultimately rest with College PresidentCharles Flora. Flora would not deny the possibility of closures but said he expects no shutdowns at thistime. There have been rumors of the possibility," Academic vice president Jerry Anderson said, "But weanticipate no closures yet." Anderson was confident that periodic closures would not affect theeducational process at Western. He said that all alternatives would have to be considered before anyshutdowns could occur. The basic heating fuel used at Western is natural gas, according to StuartLitzsinger, head of the physical plant. Because Western is on an "in terr up table-industrial" schedule,the plant has had to rely on industrial fuel oil for heating purposes as gas deliveries are being suspended"more and more," Litzsinger said. If the fuel oil is allocated under the government plan, Western wouldbe limited to using equal or less amounts of oil than were used last year. "We only had to switch to oilfor 58 days last year," Litzsinger said, "But this year we may have to rely on it for 90 to 120 days." As a result, Western may need 600,000 to 700,000 gallons of oil this winter as opposed to 300,000 gallonslast year. Under proposed government allocation plans which limit oil usage to last year's amountsWestern might be lucky to get even 300,000 gallons. This could mean that Western will get less thanhalf the oil it needs to heat the campus during Winter quarter. Interruptions in gas deliveries will continue until mid-April, according to Hal Munton, vice president of Cascade Natural Gas in Seattle, Western'ssupplier. Curtailments are due primarily to a reduction of gas coming from Canada, he said. Fuelallocations will probably go into effect this month, according to Herb Hunter, chief buyer in the division ofpurchasing for Washington State in Olympia. Hospitals and institutions will receive the highest prioritiesin fuel allocations, he said, but there is no guarantee that Western will get enough fuel to operate fully.Western's business office is studying plans that would allow the college to get more gas, but at a highercost, and only under a contract that would be binding for one year. The physical plant budget is alreadyunder stress, however, because of the high price of the fuel oil currently in use, Brock said. ---------- Western Front - 1973 December 7 - Page 2 ---------- '2'.r Western Front ' fnfoysU mbfr^, 1973^ Anderson grapples with crisis by JIM BROOKS Grappling with the worst budget crisis in Western's 75-year history is no easy task. But Jerry Anderson didn't expect it to be when he took on the challenge of vice president of academic affairs just 68 days ago. Since hisarrival at Western from Michigan, Anderson said he has had "feelings akin to the residents of Londonduring the blitz of the Second World War." Having dispensed with the usual "honeymoon" period to getadjusted in his new job, Anderson began by working 18-hour days toward solving the immediateproblems facing the campus. If the next legislative session votes to slash Western's appropriation, for1974-75 by $1.6-million due to the enrollment drop, Anderson now believes the college is prepared tomaintain quality education. Anderson said the goal has been to achieve zero reduction in personnelwhile preserving the quality and reputation of the college. "I've been very impressed with faculty, studentand community response in finding alternatives to deal with the short-term problems. At least, we will beable to sustain existing programs and honor our commitments to the students." He said that faculty andstaff are planning to share cuts in salary and take leaves. He has met with most departments in Arts and Sciences and the cluster colleges and found that "pride and professional commitment is still here."The maintenance of quality must be our number one concern. Any other position would be self-defeating. Unless we are responsive and maintain quality, we can only look toward a continuing decline inenrollment." Anderson said the "prevailing concept that Western is going to be nothing more than aglorified community college is absolutely not true." He said colleges in Michigan faced similarenrollment declines three years ago. And, that through careful, long-range planning, their enrollmentsstabilized and increased and the legislature responded accordingly. "I believe we can take pride that thescar tissue and disruption of our teaching-learning environment has been kept to a minimum as opposedto other campuses facing similar problems." He said he doesn't see "how the legislature can help but be highly responsive to our institution given its reputation for past accomplishments in its service to thepublic." Anderson rates Western in the top five in the nation for excellence among schools of its sizeand mission. He said there has been "a concerted effort to improve an atmosphere of trust and to keepopen the channels of communication which are so vitally necessary." "I am aware that the alternativesbefore us, in most cases, require some sacrifice on the part of faculty. But we hope these are onlytemporary measures." He looks for Western to emerge from its present dilemma and show favorableresults by the end of this academic year.

We can emerge from this crisis stronger and better than ever before."Matters of immediate attention include : -A close look at academic and career advisement.—Curriculum analysis and the advoidance of course duplication, individualized learning and programs for students, re-examination of admission JERRY ANDERSON standards, repackaging of financial aid, a tt e n t i o n to career education complementing the liberal arts tradition, and reorganization of theacademic affairs division to be more responsive to the academic needs of the college. —A look at thecommittee structure to ensure that time and energy is not spent without receiving impact.

T h e e n v i r o n m e n t al implications of this action are potentially more disastrous thanstrip mining for coal. Coal stripping has laid waste to huge analysis parts of several eastern states,especially West Virginia. Over 99 per cent of the shale ripped out of the Rocky Mountains will have to be dumped somewhere.

During the remaining 27 years of the twentiethcentury, energy will be a key question. This will be the period of the energy "crunch," when demand willoutstrip available supplies. Nuclear power is proposed to be the main new source of power. It has beenstated in previous articles in this series that although nuclear power plants can be operated safely, thewastes are among the most poisonous substances known. Oil use will continue to rise, but is a finiteresource with a limited future. Coal will again become one of the most important fuels, as technologicala d v a n c e s improve its performance. Technological improvements for coal include the production ofhigh quality oil from coal. With most fuels, pollution is one of the main considerations Coal and oil bothproduce hydrocarbon pollutants, carbon monoxide and other chemical pollutants, as well as heatpollution. Nuclear fuels produce radioactive emissions and wastes and generate heat waste. Nuclearfusion, the power of the hydrogen bomb, is being researched. Within the past two years, Sovietscientists have made breakthroughs which make fusion a practical process, relatively pollution-free. The major problem with fusion lies in the extremely high temperatures which must be generated to beginand maintain the reaction. No material exists which can withstand the temperatures, over one milliondegrees Centigrade, so research is b e i n g done u t i l i z i ng electromagnetism as a shield.Electrolizing water into its c o m p o n e n t parts, and recombining them electrically, produces powerwhich could be used on large and small scale operations to produce power. Only one waste product isproduced - water. Hydrogen generation has been suggested as a feasible alternative to fossil fuel forrunning automobiles. Electrolytic converters have been suggested to produce power for homes. The sun is already being used in many places around the world on a small scale. In Japan, vinyl pillows placedon roofs heat water for home use, especially bathing. In the U.S., some housing developments are being c o n s t r u c t e d experimentally, utilizing solar-cell panels in roofs which transform the sun's energy ---------- Western Front - 1973 December 7 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, December 7, 1S gt;7 Western Front 3 AFT would keep faculty, cut fees by KEITH MYETTE(Ed. note: This is the final installment of a series tracing the growth of the local chapter of the AmericanFederation of Teachers.) Most state legislators have seen education as a commodity to be used for thebest interests of the community. With that is mind, Western was ordered to give back $1.62 million ofstate funds budgeted for students that didn't register last fall. This means a reduction in up to 100faculty positions, and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), largely composed of young,untenured teachers (who would be the first to go if reductions would be based on tenure and seniority)felt the crunch with the rest of the college community. Reductions were ordered because enrollmentfigures forecast by the state's Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management (OPP FM) did notmaterialize. Gov. Dan Evans later vetoed the measure, but it will be brought up again this January. AFTposition papers insisted on the "primacy of the instructional program" and demanded that instructionalbudget cuts "come only after the exercise of every other possible means of saving money," but cutswere still forecast. Local AFT President J. Kaye Faulkner of the economics and business departmenthas tried (thus far unsuccessfully) to impress upon legislators the need to hold back on the cuts.Faulkner does not fit the stereotype of the professorial scholar. At home in the classroom or in the laborhall, Faulkner puts the problem facing the AFT quite simply: "We should be getting these bastards thatare oppressing us!" Faulkner has cultivated relationships with community and state labor leaders,playing down "the elite characterism, of We should get those bastards oppressing us. collegeprofessors" in discussions with labor. The local AFT chapter supported the oil chemical workers' strikeagainst Shell Oil last year, and Faulkner has expressed support for the striking retail clerks unionagainst the downtown Bon Marche. Languages face cut Unable to come up with concrete reductions infull-time equivalencies (FTEs), the foreign language department finds itself facing a sub-unit analysis bythe administration. Department chairman Walter Robinson said the department had been unable toguarantee around two of the seven FTSs r e q u i r e d in t he reduction-in-force policy of the college.The department was reduced from 19 to 12 FTEs in the Mischaikow report. Because of the uncertainties in the implementation of the reduction, the department's faculty has been reluctant to sign letters ofintent to participate in a reduction program. W e d n e s d a y , however; department members signed le t t e r s specifying which professor would do what in the reduction program. According to a Dec. 4memo to the department from the Academic Coordinating Committee (ACC), the letters of intent were tohave been signed and turned in by n o o n W e d n e s d a y or administration would have to start theirown sub-unit analysis in preparation to FTE reductions. The department's professors disagreecompletely with the policies of the Mischaikow committee in regard to reallocation and reduction inforce according to the letters signed Wednesday. The letter says the faculty signed "for humanitarianreasons" and agree to take part in the program. "If we do not- sign the letters," Eunice Faber said, "theadministration will implement its own sub-unit analysis for laying off faculty." Wednesday Loreh Webb of t h e ACC informed the department that they had already done a sub-unit analysis of the departmentand came up with reductions of 2.5 FTEs in French, 2 in German and Spanish, .25' in Russian andLinguistics, and none in- Classics. tf 7X gt;1^ £• HOLLY St. Di-C (dam _^^f gt;m_ ~MA!C% Sat.lOam-Sfn-s t^^~ * OM Wren's £ gt;cok,5 CootWkS Science Fiction. Faulkner sees Western'ssalvation lying with the legislature in January, and he has secured "explicit support" from the WhatcomCounty Central Labor Council, which represents most AFL-CIO affiliated unions in the county (the AFT is an AFL-CIO affiliate). The labor council has approved and sent to other councils a position papersupporting the right of faculty members to bargain collectively and strike,and ask for changes in tuitionand fees that would "enhance, rather than kill," the opportunities for working-class, students to attendcollege. According to Faulkner, this support would bind union lobbyists in Olympia to "massive support" for higher education funding. Besides asking for labor's lobby support, Faulkner plans to initiate acollege-wide faculty poll asking for institution of a collective bargaining agent, most likely the AFT. Most proposals aimed at easing the budget crisis were drafted by AFT members, i n c l u d i n g the Summer (Stanford) Plan, which would, in effect, hire professors for a three-quarter period. Besides keeping more professors employed by the college, the plan would stop older, tenured faculty members from teachingduring the summer session. A few members have resigned from the local AFT chapter, but Faulknersees the remaining It isn't another coffee club. We have an emotional commitment to action.'members (there are currently 167) as dedicated. "It is not simply another coffee club," he said. "We have an intellectual and emotional commitment \ to action." The increasing pace of the union's activities,which has drained Faulkner, has led to fewer meetings and more executive committee sessions, asituation Faulkner dislikes and promises to correct.. "Things have moved fast," he said. "We (theexecutive committee) are almost a shadow administration at this point." But he added, "You either trust us or you don't."

BonusQuestion: What is the answer to the bonus question? ---------- Western Front - 1973 December 7 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, l cember 7, 1973 Westerri Front editorial Cop-out charge wrong Boycott wines ^ ^^ ^^ The United Farm workers Sunnnrr fYimmirree here at 1 After hours of arduous meetings listening to heads ofstudent services tell their stories, the committee to recommend cuts decided not one service should beeliminated. The problem faced then was how to give students the same services for less cost — how topry loose the dollars without collapsing the edifice. Some termed it a "cop-out." They wanted only the"necessary" services to remain. A student is not going to need all the services all the time, but there aretimes when a student is going to need one of them — any one of them. This is the reason a totalprogram of services, without gaps, is needed. There are also those critics who say that a collegeenvironment is unnatural and that "all those services" make it even more unnatural, hence wrong. There is nothing unnatural about a college campus. If growth is natural then a campus can be the most natural ofplaces. The point of student services is that they either hold the student together so that he can grow orthey actively aid that growth. There is a cop-out the committee still has a chance of performing, however.That is, to fail to make heard that the services need reorganizing and that they need to be more visibleand available to the students and others on campus. The associate and assistant deans' functionsespecially need such clarification. Maybe Jerry Anderson, the new academic vice presidenr, is right:there are problems now, but there are opportunities. commentary Gay compliments 'warmth' "I wasbiased, having heard you speak before. I expected cold rhetoric — you extended warm feeling. Iexpected you to flaunt an attitude of aloof security-lost in your own trip to your own view of the world." Ihave been so engulfed by the warmth of the response to "Troubadour" from people here at Western, thatI can no longer contain my joy. Hence, I am compelled to share with you excerpts from letters I havevreceived. I too was biased while I was in preparation for this performance. I thought surely that peoplewould miss the essence, lose it in their judgements about my artistic ability or their struggle to maintain validity in the foundations of their bigotry. The oceans • of support from Alliance members inleafleting, having the tickets, programs, posters printed, etc. gave me no clue that this performance of"Troubadour" would be an especially humanistic experience for myself as well as others. " . . . Instead Iencountered vulnerability, love, and concern for others . . . I found grains of tolerance as you spoke ofoppression — I was awaiting bitterness. S o , excuse me for my expectations and thanks for your giftof self." When I walked off the stage during the first night's experience, I went to my dressing room torecuperate from the tremendous emotional trauma. I sat for awhile with my head in my hands trying tostop my tears. When I looked up, the room was full of people, all looking at me, who had been standingquietly as I put myself together. I smiled and found m y s e l f i n s t a n t a n e o u s ly submerged in acommunal hug. " . . . I t has long been observed that much of the prejudice against gay people isderived from reaction in heterosexuals to fears about their own latent sexual tendencies." The secondnight my mother was there. Also my great aunt, also my lover's mother. I knew that my actions thatevening would be forever bronzed in their minds from then on. I felt every second on stage to be climatic. I was exhausted after my first few opening lines. I wanted to walk off and forget this whole business.Thank God I didn't. " . . . Although predominantly heterosexually-oriented, I occasionally find myselfphysically attracted to other men. For awhile, after I recognized and admitted this to myself, I found itdisturbing, almost frightening. I have, however, come to accept this as not unnatural; certainly the gayliberation effort has had an influence in my change in attitude. God bless you." When my mother walked up to me that night and hugged me, saying, "Honey, that was beautiful," something I've been waiting all my life to hear, when people that I've never met began to approach me on campus and in broad daylightgreet me with handshakes, hugs, and even kisses, and when these wonderfully uplifting letters, notes,and phone calls arrive in the office, I know it has all been worth it. I've never known any artistic orhumanistic endeavor on my part to have been such a fulfilling experience. For what it's worth these days, I love you all.

ADVISER: Pete Steffens TheUnited Farmworkers Support Committee here at Western has begun a boycott campaign against Gallowines as part of its regular activity. This effort is part of a nationwide campaign now underway in supportof the U.F.W., which is on strike against Gallo. The Farmworkers signed a contract with Gallo, the largest domestic wine producer, in 1967. This contract was renewed in 1970. However, when it came up forrenewal this vear. Gallo refused to sign, and instead signed an agreement with the Teamsters Union.They did this as part of an attempt by the California growers to bust the U.F.W., which through itsorganizing efforts has for the first time won basic rights for farm labor in this country. Farm workers,mostly Chicano, are one of the most oppressed and underpaid sections of the work force. They arespecifically excluded from present labor legislation, and therefore cannot call for a N.L.R.B. election tosettle the question of which they want to belong to. For that reason, the Gallo field workers had no choice but to go out on strike to support their right to be represented by the U.F.W. The Teamsters Unionleadership has no interest in improving the lot of agricultural labor. If they did, they would simply keep out, and not disgrace the labor movement by aiding the big growers in an attack on the U.F.W. Recentrevelations about Teamster contributions to the Nixon reelection campaign, in return for a halt to a federalinvestigation of misuse of Teamster pension funds, shows the real character of the present Teamsterleadership. Gallo wines include "Boone's Farm," "Spanada," "Tyrolia," "Ripple," "Thunderbird," "RedMountain" and "Raisano," as well as the "Gallo" brand. Any wine with "Modesto, Calif." on the label ismade by Gallo. The U.F.W. Support Committee here is asking students not to purchase these wines.Presently, however, the boycott campaign here in Bellingham is centering on convincing local merchantsnot to stock Gallo products. This effort has already met with considerable success, with the FairhavenTavern, Cal's Tavern, Pete's Tavern and the Wine Cellar all agreeing not to purchase any further Galloproducts when their current supply is sold out. The committee is planning to work from this base ofsupport until all retailers have agreed not to stock Gallo wine. Those who are unwilling to comply with theboycott will have their names published on a list to be distributed among local students and tradeunionists. Aside from the Gallo boycott campaign, the Farmworkers Support Committee here is regularlyengaged in- picketing Safeway and carrying out a variety of other activities. The committee holds regularweekly meetings which are open to . all interested individuals. These meetings are held every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the MECHA office, Room 010 Viking Union. Karl Foreman United Farmworkers SupportCommittee letters 'Right on' housing ad implies sexual bias Editor, Western Front: We would like toquestion an advertisement which seems sexist to us. The housing advertisement of Nov. 16 pictures ayoung man looking at a book The Calculus. The words run "Why walk a mile for a class? Live close. Live on. Housing 676-2950." Because of the macho appeal, it seems n e c e s s a r y to read theadvertisement with a hip and rugged voice. "Right On" conveys a very sexual base tinge. The young man is hard as evidenced by his scarf and general aura, yet a "pretty boy." The Michael Landon, Mark Spitz "I drink milk" sex model that sells both milk and sex. We do not know if this is all conscious or sub-conscious, it would seem both. If housing advertises they are saying on-campus housing is not justordinary, but better than ordinary. And so the young man has everything because he does live on-campus, or will. He has "brains," observe the Calculus book he is holding. It is our hypothesis that thisyoung man would not be presented with a music book in hand, not an art book, not a language book,since none . of these would fit the somewhat "cool image." The young man appears more analyticalthan emotional, as men have been so characterized for centuries. Areas of study are seemingly dividedinto their respective analytic-masculine a n d emotional-feminine categories. As a fashionableheterosexual male, the women are "just implied." This young man is what women are supposed to want and men are supposed to want to be like. This young man is thus "sold" by housing to the consumer.There are other messages certainly. The hole in his shoe shows he will be better off living on campus . .. but we did not even notice this until pointed out to us. We are posing our own biases certainly, but wehave obtained them through such advertising as this. We are urging that some consideration be given to matters of this sort in hopes of surpassing our stereotyped, commercialized notions. We would invitereplies from housing, The Front and others.

The Passage first appeared on the streets in 1969. It was one of the manyalternative papers which sprang up in the discontent and turbulence of the late 1960s. Circulation is now4,200. "Obviously," said John Brockhaus, Passage worker, "the Bellingham Herald is very right-wing.The Passage serves as an outlet for a lot of people in Bellingham, Seattle and points in between, whoseinterests aren't reported by even the more liberal papers." The Passage has a distinct, rather low-keystyle which separates it from other alternative papers such as the Berkeley Barb or Los Angeles FreePress. Four-letter words are used with discretion, and sexist language and ads are carefully screenedout. A policy was adopted last fall to eliminate the universal "he" in material submitted to the Passageand replace it with "he/she". The content of the Northwest Passage reflects the people working on it. One issue may be mostly "down home funk" and another, "hard core , political stuff," Brockhaus said. ThePassage calls itself a "fortnightly journal of ecology, politics, the arts and good healthy living." Each ofthese take turns being the outstanding feature. For a while the Passage had a very strong ecologicalflavor. Although the environmental bend has never diminished, the content gradually moved to back-to-the-land articles, such as goat raising, organic gardening and other related topics. Currently it has lostsome of its country flavor and increased its political content. Articles printed in the Passage arecontributed by members of the community and staff and are completely unpaid. Anyone can work on the paper. Editorship is rotated each issue among gt;Jjiose fairly experienced with Passage production.Recently a cooperative editorship has been tried. Passage staff member and part-time Western studentBilly Patz explained that there are fewer students on the paper at present. "Most of the workers now arefrom the community (Southside) so there's more community orientation." This system of a totallyvolunteer paper is not without its problems. Often the paper seems to be on the verge of collapse.Complete turnovers in the staff take place frequently. No one currently working on the paper began with itfour and a half years ago. The staff doesn't do as much of the writing these days because of fewermembers, and so less time. Community sources are depended on for news and events. Most of the staffworkers are "self-taught journalists with no previous experience. "The kind of people who relate to thePassage don't commit themselves — people just don't stay with one thing too long anymore," saysPatz. "We often think about ways to get people interested, but are successful only to a certain degreebecause of today's culture." It is hard to generalize about just who works for the Passage. People comeand go. fortnightly journal of ecology, politics, the arts and living.' Financial problems are also commonfor an alternative newspaper in a small city. The main crisis, insists Brockhaus, is the people working on the paper; or lack of them. He has doubts as to whether the spirit of volunteerism is still around, andfears that unless "some way is found to pay a few coordinators; chances are fair that it (the Passage)may fold." "But not" he added, "in the near future." Many people have been burned out trying to keep the paper together because they also have to spend time working for a livelihood. After a certain point, thelimitations imposet all-volunteer paper finds some who have lot of time to it to move on.iVith a fewmembers, Brockhaus felt, the quality Passage would improve. More time devoted to organization andkeeping events. Rumors that the Passage was going were "one disgruntled staff member Brockhaussaid.

The source of the eats wasn't Saga, but a boarding house on High Street —and the year was 1899. In 1889 Fairhaven was a thriving community with a salmon cannery and fishingfleets. Bellingham had a respectable 22,000 people. Holly Street was a plank road. The campus itselfwas dotted with logs and stumps, much of it was swampy and students had to walk on boards to keepfrom getting their feet soaked. Life wasn't all that easy in the opening year of "New Whatcom NormalSchool", as Western was called then. A history of the school, called "The First Fifty Years," was writtenin 1949 by a group of faculty members. This brief work provides a vivid glimpse into the lives of the early"pioneers." "Students were scattered all over town in rooms furnished in many cases with a cheap rentfor Western washstand or a box used for that purpose, a table and a bed," the authors explain. Therewas a bright spot however - the principal's wife often combed the streets of Bellingham for studentlodgings at her husband's request. Apparently, women's lib had not yet come into vogue. The 264students attending Whatcom Normal were at no loss for recreation, we are told. There were "steamerexcursions," up and down Lake Whatcom and hikes along Chuckanut Drive, "then a narrow, steep,dangerous trail." For the more intellectually inclined there were the joys of the "Thespian Club", and five"literary societies" were set up in the first year. Dramatic troupes went in small boats to islands(presumably the San Juans) or "traveled rough corduroy roads . . . to little lamp-lighted school houses."Due to the high percentage of Swedes, Finns and Norwegians enrolled, an entire play of Shakespearemight be heard in a thick Scandanavian accent.

His hour-and-a-half set, his first liveappearance in eight months, featured a number ot Sleepy John Estes tunes, some Joseph Spencesongs and such obscure "classics" as "I Caught a Stranger in the House and I Busted Him With aClub," "Call Jesus on the Mainline and Tell Him What You Want" and a song about Billy the Kid,referred to by Cooder as "a snotty, half-wit slob." Personally, it was his stringwork that was impressive.In his hands the mandolin, usually a rather unobtrusive instrument, became a powerful, train-rolling forcebehind the vocals. His guitar playing was likewise fine - particularly the bottleneck stuff. There was aquality in his vocals that turned me off once or twice which is not to say his singing wasn't strong (itwas) or appropriate to the songs (it was). It just seemed that this young and talented White man's vocals were the result of a studied reproduction of the Black men w h o s e music he was predominantlyusing. Which brings me to the excellent film about 75-year-old Black singer-philosopher ManceLibscomb that preceded Cooder's set. Libscomb's rural, h a r d t i m e s b a c k g r o u nd produced anauthentic musical idiom that expressed very personal feelings about the human condition. Cooder'sHollywood hills reproductions of Sleepy John, for example, expressed the life-view of the man but failedto e l i c i t t h e d e ep e m o t i o n al-personal-attachment - to life of the original. Perhaps Cooder'suse of a small amplifier added to this effect. Perhaps I quibble. N o t w i t h s t a n d i n g thesereservations, Cooder's set contained many fine moments, the audience was very appreciative (a three-song encore was the result of a standing ovation) and the Program His mandolin became a GRRDGflSTREET GRRDGflS herb 1408 Garden St. I PLANTS |j SEEDS i i cactus | |g DISH GARDEN or ^H TERRARIUM PLANTS' || H and SUPPLIES |§ I f FOLIAGE PLANTS |S H PLANTERS ^ f§ OPENSUNDAYS || ,MT.

Activities budget axed 13% The AS government anddepartmentally related activities such as drama, men's and women's athletics and musical organizations will suffer from 10 to 13 per cent budget cuts over the next six months because of decreasedenrollment. The departmentally related activities budgets, totalling $255,286 under last spring's estimate of 7,462 full fee paying students, will be reduced by $33,357 to $221,929 coming from the actual figureof approximately 7,000 full fee paying students. The AS will take an approximatley 10 percent cut bylosing $15,000. Each of the full fee paying students pay $ 11.10 out of their tuition and fees for thedepartmentally related activities. The AS receives an additional $6.40 from each student. Informed onMonday of the exact amount of money to be lost, representatives from each activity decided to take theloss equally with each activity losing between 12.9 and 13 per cent. I n c l u d e d in t he departmentally related budget is the operation of the Viking Union. Of its $94,193 all but four thousand dollars goes forsalaries. The AS was at least partially ready for the cuts. A reduced enrollment reserve fund of $5,000was set up at the start of the quarter in preparation of the cuts.

K. JOHNSON The jinx of Royal Brougham Pavillion is still frustrating Western basketball teams. Wednesday evening theVikings never overcame their first game jitters and dropped a lackluster 66.-49 contest to Seattle Pacific College in Seattle. Today and tomorrow, the Vikings will be in Tacoma participating in the DaffodilTournament hosted by the University of Puget Sound. Western will play UPS tonight at 8 p.m. and willface either the winner or loser of the Portland State-Fresno State game. Wednesday evening, Westerncould not get untracked offensively. After taking an early 4-2 lead on baskets by Chuck Fisher and RobVisser, the Vikings went into a six-minute cold spell that enabled the Falcons to establish a lead thatwas never headed. Seattle Pacific's Mark Stream erupted for six of his 10 first-half points late in theinitial period to propel the Falcons to a 22-10 lead. The Vikings closed within nine points on baskets byKeith Lowry and Visser with 1:18 remaining, but Stream's passing and scoring propelled SPC to a 28-17 halftime advantage. Battling back from a 13-point deficit early in the second hal" the Vikings, pulledwithin seven points on a Fisher basket with 15:18 left to play. It was as close as Western got the rest of the night. The Falcons capitalized on Western turnovers and used a fast break offense during the nextsix minutes to breeze to a commanding 51-31 lead. The biggest Falcon lead came with 4:48 left to playwhen SPC's Nate Townsend's jumper gave the Falcons a 60-35 lead. Craig Nicholes, Jim Hotvet andChris Brown finally caught fire late in the contest to bring Western within 17 points as the final buzzersounded. Other than lack of scoring power, Western failed to rebound aggressively against their shorteropponents, giving the Falcons two and sometimes three shots at the hoop in order to score. Visser, atransfer from Grays Harbor Community College, was the workhorse for the Vikings, leading the Big Bluewith 11 points and pulling down 14 rebounds. Hotvet was Western's second leading scorer with eightpoints, followed by Dick Bissell with six. Stream led the winners with 18 points, followed by Al Peelerwith 12. Western's junior varsity watched a seven-point halftime lead melt away as the Falcon juniorvarsity rallied to a 70-62 victory. Western is now 0-1 on the year while Seattle Pacific is 3-0.

The Viks will face such expectedopponents as Pacific Lutheran University, second in the NAIA championships last season; CentralWashington, perennial Evco champions; Southern Oregon College, last year's Evco champion andHighline Community College, one of the strongest community college teams in the Northwest. Theschedule of times and dates for the teams is still being drawn up by the athletic departments of thevarious schools. The first meet is expected to be held several weeks'into Winter quarter. The 10member men's team will be led by Paul Simmerly, lone letterman and finalist in the 100 and 200 yardbreast strokes and medley relay in the Evco championship meet last year. One performer from last year, Robin Allen, diver, is a possible performer. Other competitors on the predominantly freshman teaminclude Bob Lytke, Jeff Smith, Greg Laing, Mark Davis, Bill Sawhill, Darrell Kimmerly, Joe Coverson, JeffMickle, and Doug Danner.

The four teams remaining in the competition are theLeftovers, BSU All-Stars, Go-Getters and Stripling's. In racketball, Rob Harcus won the men's titledefeating Rugby squad to play UW behind gym An even win-loss record will be the goal of Western'srugby team as it will face the University of Washington behind C a r v e r Gym tomorrow afternoon in the last game of the first half of the season. The second team, with a 3-1-1 record, will begin the action at 1 p.m. and the first team, 3-4, will take over at 2:30 p.m. After tomorrow's games the ruggers will rest until the start of the second half of the season in February. The top teams of each school will be fairlyclosely matched as far as season records are concerned. The UW, at 3-3, boasts two all-stars fromEngland and more experienced backs. The Viks will be coming off a two-week layoff as their game lastweekend against Surrey rugby club in Surrey B.C. was cancelled because of field conditions. After aslow start due chiefly to inexperience, Western has come on strong, with recent wins over WashingtonState University and the Seattle Rugby Club. Western combined with the best of the Chuckanut BayRugby Club for the win over Washington State. Paul Gawenko. Cindi Scott captured the women's titledefeating Nori Bowman. Nine men and four women competed Nov. 20 in the second annual turkey trot in which two men and women won turkeys for Thanksgiving. Myrnie McCormick was the fastest womanaround the two-mile course, covering the distance in 11:36. Kristine Olsen came closest to her predicted time, being off only 3:47. Dean Powers was the fastest man around the three-mile course, covering thedistance in 18:13.3. Jeff Schultz came closest to his predicted time, being off 34 seconds. In swimming competition, Syd Jacobs won the 550 meter breast stroke and the 100 meter individual medley to taketop honors for the women. Bruce Johnson won the 100 meter individual medley and the 50 meterbackstroke while Don Williams won the 50 meter freestyle and fly competition for the men. Nextquarter, men and women's basketball, racketball and swimming will be offered. In addition, wrestling andhandball will also be offered for the men. Dick Bartsch, director of Intramurals, suggested that ifstudents would like to see a particular sport or event offered, to contact him or leave a note at CarverGym 112 or 182. Western's Club basketball team, the Pele Fires, looks for their second win in a rowtomorrow when they take on Capilano College in West Vancouver, B.C. Tipoff time is scheduled for 7:30. The Fires, fresh off a rather convincing win over British Columbia Tech last Sunday, are regionalsgame. The Viks won the second game 16-14. The Viks then threw a scare into Portland StateUniversity, defending regional champs, by winning the second game before bowing 15-9, 13-15, 15-9.The tired Western team could no nothing against the University of Oregon Ducks in the last Fridaymatch, losing on their own mistakes 15-5, 15-4. Starting out fresh on Saturday the Viks came frombehind in both games to defeat Eastern Oregon, 16-14, 16-14. Lack of concentration appeared to beWestern's downfall in the first playoff game, against the University of Washington. The Huskiescapitalized on Viking mistakes to win easily, 15-4. 15-3. Next year's squad should have an abundance of experience as only one starter, Kathy Dooley and reserve spiker, Bev McKissick will be lost throughgraduation. a team that plays in spurts. The Fires lost their first two games of the year, then won four ina row, dropped two more and now are, hopefully, on another positive tangent following Sunday's win over B.C. Tech. The Fires are a young team, consisting of three sophomores and eight freshmen, and" are"starting to jell," according to coach Pete Burns. "We're playing more together now than even before this season. We're becoming a 'team' team." Burns cites a tough, "man to man" defense as the team'sstrongest attribute. Their biggest weakness, he points out, is their inconsistent snooting. The Fires shotonly 28 percent from the floor in their last loss, a 71-66 upset administered by a team from the WhidbeyIsland Naval Air station. The Fires have picked up wins over the faculty-alumni teams from Ferndale,Sehome, Meridian and Bellingham high schools. Their losses have been at the hands of AAU teamsfrom Victoria and Vancouver, B.D., the Nooksack Valley alumni and the Whidbey base team.Individually, Burns is very pleased with the recent emergence of postman Mike Anderson and forwardBrad Potter. The 6-4 Potter, a freshman from Longview, has been particularly impressive, averaging 18points per game during the last three contests. He scored 21 against B.C. Tech in a limited appearancewhich saw him sprain an ankle and lose a tooth. VfKmQ Sounders SCUBA LESSONS WINTERQUARTER Limited Class Size Register Now!

AS President John Wolfe attributed Wilson'sresignation, recommended in a vote of the Front staff, to the staff's "basic mistrust" of the ASgovernment. Wolfe said that recent decisions by the AS board of directors which assure winterpublications funding through the comptroller's office and provide for one more publications representativeon the AS Communications Council were intended to soften that "mistrust.".. Wolfe told the senate atits last meeting that its start at implementation of the publications council was an unnecessary andsecondary action in light of the board's actions. Since then, the senate has voted, 23-5, in a mail ballot,to submit the publications council to an early Winter quarter vote of the students. If approved by thestudents, the publications council would become the fourth council of the senate. The senate'scommittee on councils and committees would recommend the new council's structure, and the newcouncil itself would recommend its policy, both subject to senate approval. "Tremendous," said Fronteditor Rodger Painter, when told the results of the ballot. "I'm glad that this on-going hassle may soon be resolved."

The slugs, ranging from four feet in height and up have been bred espcially for the growingstuffed slug culinary industry. Several of the slugs, originally thought to be harmless, overpowered ascientist and two guards at a secret research installation and slimed them to death. The slugs breedrapidly and travel at alarming speed for creatures so large. They are easily killed when seen, but theirnocturnal habits and resemblence to piles of trash make them hard to detect. People are cautioned thatthe slugs are especially dangerous when cornered or wounded. The killer slugs are especially fond ofbeer, and several taverns have been attacked and taken over by the slugs. 11 has been difficult to getescaping tavern patrons and residents to call the police. The people are afraid the slugs arehallucinations. A favorite tactic of the slugs is to crash through back doors of houses to get at therefrigera- tors. One slug was recaptured after crashing a house in suburban Vancouver and breaking intothe liquor cabinet. When overpowered, the slug was comsuming expensive Scotch and quality Cubancigars while watching a re-run of the Untouchables. People are advised to barracade their back doors and to be very careful about how they answer the front one. A case of beer near the garbage cans with a tripwire alarm might deter the slugs long enough to split the scene, but fast! How To Cope When Cork Pops For the survival minded, the Passive has compiled some helpful suggestions in coping with a futureenvironment that appears inevitable in light of the awesome nuclear capabilities of the major powers.When the cork is popped and the earth is scorched, be sure and keep a folded copy of these tips in yourtattered jeans. 1) water—a questionable commodity to locate since the terrain of the nuclear wastelandwill not conform to present day topography. Should one adapt to the new "quality" of the crust and lowertin can, garbage pail etc. tied to strips of cloth until a splash is heard. Trial and error is very important inthis technique. 2) fuel—sources of energy will be in short supply then as they are now. But heated caves will be of comfort. Burnt stumps of trees, chipped with the sharp edge of arock until the outer layer isremoved will reveal slightly radioactive, but burnable wood. Be sure to locate new honestead in area oncedesignated "forested.". 3) food-contrary to past attitudes that vegetation is sufficient for survival, theenvironment of the future will dictate new conditions. Since all vegetation will be defunct, food sources will be restricted to the already dead and cooked carcasses of the animal world. Once again radioactivitymust be adapted to. Storage will also be a problem. Such an acute one, incidentally, that the Passiveregrets that it has not the answer. 4) socialization—in the past, has led to close ties amongst groups,while at the same time designating "others" as enemies. Ergo, defense systems were built. In the future,all groups, communities, states and nations should be avoided in order to prevent the situation you havejust found yourself in! page 2 USING YOUR OWN . . . TO GROW YOUR OWN . . . by art a. chokesHi. You wonder just what the headline means? Simply, in just two words, it's fertilizer and dope. That'sright, fertilizer, or more potently, you OWN fertilizer to grow your OWN dope. You think I'skidding? I'mnot. Some of the best shit around today is being grown with human excrement and if you are like I am,smoking shit has become such a habit, that you've started growing your own. But most likely you aren'tusing your own to grow your own and if you aren't then . . . well, the thought is just sickening to me. Youare obviously smoking someone else's shit raised in someone else's shit. Therefore, I 've taken thedelicate task of telling you what to do to grow your own while using your own, starting from consumptionand blast-off toretrivation. To begin with, I should note that in growing your dope this way it costs youonly $1.49 fur a butterfly net, perhaps $2 for a silver spoon and around $20 for a good set of pots andpans. Most importantly, the shit has to be at least a foot high before the fertilizer is used so that whenapplication of the dung comes (dunger time), it does not shock the hell out of the plants system. (If theplant is any smaller than a foot, it can die before contact is made. Plants are sensitive. They KNOW.)Once fertilizer is applied to the plant, you must water like mad or the plant will collapse of dehydration.The plant will not die but just collapse. When it is watered, it will shudder right back up fine. B and Sbaked beans, corn, prune juice and radishes I find are the best things to eat and should be measured out in even portions, brought to a boil, simmered for five minutes and then allowed to cool before drinking.That's right, this is the consumption part—so vital to plant health, growth and welfare during its body-building days. The only drawback here is that painfu I diarrhea may occur, making the fertilizer totallyinaccessible to netting after blast-off. It has been found by my talking to others that taking deepbreaths helps to relax this situation a little. However, it doesn't do anything else. I f at first you don'tsucceed, try, try, again. After awhile your body will become accustomed to fighting the mixture atconsumption and therefore dispose of it in appropriate, firm little pebbles. Immediately following asuccessful launch (blast-off) is where the $1.49 butterfly net and silver spoon come in (retrivation). Withpractice you will soon be able to retrieve the fertilizer blindfolded and might even want to. Noseplugs arerelatively inexpensive so you may want to use them also. Clothes pins will also work. What you do isgive the net a qu ick right twist with your wrist, plunge downward and then snap it back. Will you besurprised! It works! Once retrivation is over, the flight is a success. I t's now dungertime and you shouldinstantly apply the fertilizer to the plant in order to prevent the shit from becoming stagnant. It can lost its potency while the plant can die during this time. {11 does no good to try talking to the plants. Theyseem to refuse listening to anyone at this stage). Finally comes application time. By taking the silverspoon you should mash the fertilizer thoroughly while adding water. By making holes in the dirt the plantis growing in (with spoon handle) you can pour the solution into the roots of the plant. The dirt may bevery hard. This is because the plant in its defense has drained all water from the vase, thereby creatingan almost patrif ied rock. The lighting you installed during the dopes early growing period should now beremoved completely from the plant. No light should be allowed to reach the plant from now until harvesttime (when plant is three to 12 feet tall). For some strange reason, it will now thrive on darkness. Afterharvest, will you ever be surprised! It is extremely potent shit. And there you have it. I started growing my plants about two weeks ago after learning this process and have had to raise the roof of my closet twice. The plants are now 12 feet high. Remarkably, the dope smokes smooth and light and liaves a faintscent of burning rubber. I also find a slight after-taste of Georgia-Pacific lingering until well after I 'vesmoked it. (People living in Bellingham find this to be true. However, I have talked to people in Everettwho have tried this method and they find Weyerhauser lingering.) My biggest problem now is what to doabout the loud erruptions and rushes of stale air from the closet. Sound-proofing and insulatation have not taken care of the hassle. Otherwise, there have been no other problems with this fun and easy process. Anyway, it's worth it. Enjoy your SELF and stay high. CRYPTIC Plans are being formulated for the new student co-op cemetery to be laid out in Red Square. The cemetery is one of the many projects of therecently created "Class on death," and is designed for those students doing research for the classesrather extensive final examination. Lowell Z. Plotz, the cemeteries coordinator, sees the cemetery as amarvelous undertaking. "All the students are excited about it, and really wsant to participate." Plotzstressed that student involvement, the cooperative effort, is what will make go. "I n fact," he said, "with all that's going on, I expect a lot of business. That's why we've reserved a special section for the untenuredfaculty." Plotz emphasized that business will be good this time of year, because students see thecemetery as a viable alternative to going home with their grades. "And they don't have to pay back theirNational Defense loan," Plotz said enthusiastically. "Boy, it's just erally neat how all the students aregetting involved, ya know?" They really like getting their hands into old mother earth," said Plotz. And forthose cooperative students, Plotz is planning a special treat. Inspired by the famous Firest LawnMortuary in L.A., where visitors can see film clips of a famous movie star at their grave site, Plots has his own line of special "casket features," to lend comfort to the departed and the departee. I n the crypts ofdeparted English Majors, there will be continuous showing of that epic film, "Ma and Pa Kettle meetBeowulf." For the ecology buggs there are giodegradeable caskets, and for Campus Christian Fellowshipthere are piped in tapes of Billy Graham. Second Coming enthusiasts will have caskets with special trapdoors. As the cemetery is getting "underway," Lowell has begun a novel based on the project. "Thecharacterization is a little stiff," he said. "But the plot is really great." oorpfjffe 5lugPreder VoO WILLMBEJD^ C? *- lt;*»***y^. 8~ 12, ClK£-beM "SLOGS ( SPOOMPUl_ TOTKSCO/Hr/\ C-Wr^ O Z.

Resident number 67352290 MonroeState Reformatory ETRAINING day, when all values are being challenged and being discarded, somehave been left un-ed, taboo, as it were, even to the most hard-socialist individualists, we've all heardthose bathroom gutter jokes the taboo subjects, but after many hours of nplative study, concludedsomething had to ie. taboo subject to which I am referring, is of , defecation. I mean, shit. This subjecthas eft untouched too long. It's the age-old a f the turd inthe punchbowl, y, i asked myself, do 200 million Amerikans sit eyes forward, feet planted firmly on the floor, as if at some kind of perverse call of"Attention!"? because, i concluded, nobody ever questioned the autoiritarian principle behind it (so tospeak) which goes back to toilet training. Not without plan is the fact that the damage is done early, soearly that no one remembers it. How can one expect to question something they don't even remember. Idid extensive research and found that this fascist Amerika has spent millions for cancer research, butNOT ONE PENNY for research into defecation! My destiny all but slapped me in the face one day, while i meditated. It came so hard that i nearly fell off the stool. How could i have been so constipated for somany years, to accept this fascist mathod of defecation? i asked myself, i felt like kicking myself in theass. The very next time nature called, i began my investigation of alternative methods the counter-culture might use to advantage to break away from th is Amerikan pattern. The first new alternagive i tried outwas this. I stood on my head over the toilet bowl, with my feet straight up in the air. This didn't work verywell. The next time, i tried thesame basic position, but with my legs drawn up into the lotus position,with my head pointed down, but in the opposite direction this time. The results were similar, i didn't needa third try to assure myself there must be a better way. I did need another shower. I n order to clear mymind of past propagandistic indoctrination, i tried fasting. This did not produce the desired results, so ibegan a steady diet of prunes and Explax. I found this allowed the creativity to flow much more freely. I n the next few weeks, i must have tried a thousand different ways to defecate. Some of the moresuccessful ones were: Clumbing a flagpole (i imagine a telephone pole would do in a pinch) whilemeditating on the mystical sound OM. Squatting off the back end of a fast-moving truck, while holding on tight to the ra[ling, while talking in tongues, as loudly as possible. This method is highly recommended,but watch for the State Patrol and be careful of the wind chill factor in winter. Exposure might beembarrassing to explain to either a trooper or a hospital attendant. i finally came up with the BESTmethod of all, which is not at all what my authoritarian parents or first grade teacher said was nroper.With my feet firmly placed on the bowl of the toilet, i faced backwards towards the wall, on which hadbeen placed a picture of Richard M. Nixon and his dog Checkers, and chanted Kizzmaiaz, kizzmaiaz atthe top of my lungs. The combination never failed to produce the desired reaction, and the positon itselfallows one to peruse the entire wall area for graffiti in the absense of a picture of Nixon, i do recommendthat everyone carry a picture of him, to places where none are available and you are feeling a bit irregular. Remember, the family that shits together showers together. '5 "O TkSTE. Dlfc_E.CT\ONJS •CM"CW: ^LU6S .PUKCE- IM A, LMUiE.

"Air quality tests indicate that the atmosphere in most large cities is unfit for human consumption, so we decidedthat the best way to rectify the situation is to ban breathing," an EPA spokesperson said. To enforce the breathing ban, the EPA is equipping special "breath partols" with sonic lung analysis kits. The patrolswill take spot checks of passing motorists and pedestrians . anyone found to have air in his/her lungs will be subject to an indefinite banishment to the suburbs. Nasel Sticks Nose Up At Gravity Consumptionadvocate Ralph Nasel recently called for Congress to repeal the law of gravity as the "first progressivestep towards conserving our vital energy resources." The natural energy that is wasted on "just keepingthings down to earth" could be harnessed for clean industrial power, Nasel said. Nasel pointed out that ifthe law is repealed all immobile objects could be anchored to the ground and people could carry leadweights in their pockets. "I n the face of the current energy crisis, it is ridiculous to allow this waste ofnatural energy resources on keeping things in place," Nasel said. T.V. Out Of This World Rumors havebeen spreading across the United States that television sets are in reality aliens from the planet Darvon,who have come to take over the world. Although NASA, CBS and the FCC all deny these allegations,thousands of people have either disappeared completely or become frozen in a sitting position for yearsreciting over and over "good-night David, good-night Chet." More ominously, authorities recently crashedthrough a back door of a suburban Seattle home to find a television set blaring loudly while sipping abottle of Jack Daniels and smoking expensive Cuban cigars. Down On Typewriters Ralph Mader,consumption advocate, pressed the Environmental Revulsion Agency to ban typewriters. Recentconsumer probationstudies have shown that the long-term effects of the bell ringing at the end of eachline drives people crazy. Mader Fails To Score Recent studies have shown a dramatic decline in thequantity and quality of beaver around Bell-ingham. A recent beaver hunt on a dark and cold and lonelyFriday evening netted not one beaver. None were even sighted, according to local beaver expert RalphMader. Each beaver captured is termed a "socre," Mader said, and commented " I didn't score all night." Mader did saythere is an ample supply of local crabs, however. «UBEIWM!Bl^MB«BMI^^ page 3 ---------- Western Front - 1973 December 7 - More or less passive pg.4 ---------- 3 WASTE IS A SHITTY THING Cut down the tree, oh, woodsman and kill its gentle life and use its sweet body to make your vulgar money It never asked for love It never asked for help It never asked foranything You Shithead Spare the air, you over there And don't pollute my meager share 'Cause whenyou do, it just ain't fair I hope you get eaten by a bear Water polluters take note, some day fish may vote Pollution is the lump in life's mattress Pollution is the rain in life's day But at least it helps me sellpoetry I wouldn't have it any other way.

Cries of fiscal agony andhowls of "discrimination!" are ricochetting around campus in letters and memos. Mel Davidson, facultycouncil chairman, said that "on most of it, I don't see what choice we've got." He said the ExecutiveCommittee of the Faculty Council approved of Flora's recommendations "in the sense that they are bitterly necessary." He explained: "This is a good time to take advantage of the financial crisis to chop outthings that we haven't had the courage to take a hard look at before," he said. "His (Flora's) early-closingsuggestion, ideally, is the way to fly, but I guess it would be impractical in the long run." Davidson saidhe was surprised at the proposed cuts in the music and foreign language departments, "but there mightbe good reasons for them." Davidson said the president had to have all feed-back by Friday so that hecan prepare his recommendations for the next Board of Trustees meeting. Phillip Ager, chairman of theMusic Department, said he wasn't sure how to interpret Flora's recommendation to "eliminate all statesupported individual instruction effective fall, 1972." "If individual instruction is put on a fee basis then it'spretty discriminatory against one set of students. It's the only part of the report that suggests thatstudents should pay fees in addition to tuition for what they have to have." Ager was unsure of whetherthe individual instruction policy would apply to other state schools or just to Western. "If it's notduplicated in other state colleges it would be disastrous. Many students would switch schools and I don'tthink we'd have a music major much longer. There will'be a college-wide meeting at 4 p.m. today in theMusic Auditorium to discuss the budget recommendations. President Flora will be available to answerquestions concerning campus problems caused by the proposed budget cuts. Possible budget cutswould include the elimination of all state-supported individual music instruction, elimination of college-supported intercollegiate sports, combination of the Men's and Women's Physical Education Departments or a possible six-week spring session during the second year of the biennium. He said that individualinstruction, two-thirds of which is handled by faculty members, is vital to the music major. "It's a lab formusic majors," he said. "It's the single most central activity that a music major takes part in." "The whole thing is pretty disturbing, but then the whole fiscal situation of the college is pretty disturbing," he added.

Budgetary ConsiderationStudent Credit Hours Cost $4.22 on Average By RON GRAHAM Managing Editor One of the guidingfactors used by President Charles Flora in suggesting budget reductions was monthly teaching costs per student credit hour (SCH). The average instructional cost for all of Western Washington State College is $4.22 per student credit hour, with the most expensive department cost per student $8.18 (Music) andthe least expensive cost $1.77 (General Education, according to Flora's report. The costs per SCH atthe cluster colleges are; $4.50 for Fairhaven College, $7.01 for College of Ethnic Studies and $4.53 forHuxley College. The costs per SCH in the various departments is as follows: Courses Art BiologyEconomics Business Chemistry Education English Ethnic Studies Fairhaven Foreign LanguagesGeneral Education Geography Geology Total SCH Instruction All Levels Only History 8,858 $3.73Home Economics 2,086 $3.75 Huxley 1,079 $4.53 Library Science 585 $6.35 Math 10,020 $3.98 Music 3.171 $8.18 Philosophy 2,085 $3.48 Men's P.E. 2052 $5.20 Women's P.E. 2.535 $4.96 Physics 5,463$4.14 Political Science 7,627 $2.57 Psychology 12,718 $3.36 Soc/Anthro 9,486 $2.06 Speech 4,976$5.09 Technology 3,159 $5.39 Some of the bigger cuts suggested by Flora are aimed at thedepartments with high costs per SCH.

Bookstore Board, ASAC Involved in Power-play By SUSAN GAWRYS Front Reporter TheBookstore Board, which hasn't met since Mar. 4, is involved in another power hassle with the AssociatedStudent Activity Commission (ASAC). Bookstore manager Ray Knabe will retire July 1, and a newmanager will be needed. Howard Mitchell, chairman of the bookstore board, said that assistant managerGeorge Elliot will be the new manager. Mitchell said that Elliot has been given training and will beassuming control at the end of August. ASAC Chairman Rich Hass said that ASAC makes the decisionon who will- take over Knabe's job. As part of the Viking Union staff, the bookstore manager is underASAC jurisdiction, he said. "When there's a vacancy, someone shouldn't automatically get it," Hasssaid. "We have an obligation to interview people." Hass was commissioned by the AS Legislature towrite a letter to Mitchell, reminding him of a bill passed at the end of winter quarter: ". . . the ASLegislature remind the Bookstore Board of its obligation to notify ASAC prior to any openings in thebookstore management so that ASAC may begin interviewing applicants for the position." Hass addedthat, "Mitchell ought to be replaced. He hasn't been fulfilling his duties. He's being stubborn about thewhole thing. His empire is being stepped on." As to the board's irregular meetings, Mitchell said, "Weare waiting for student government to react to the rebate policy." He said a letter about it was sent to ASbut nothing happened. AS President Steve Cooper noted that the students passed the rebate policy inthe spring election. "AS clearly has the power," he said. The board still needs a student representativeto replace Les Savitch, who is in National Guard training, and Reed Merril, who resigned. Cooper saidthat he had a notice in the bulletin but no one applied for the position. The bookstore board is required tomeet once a month and report to AS. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Western Front 3 Budget Cuts Upset Faculty (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Part of Flora's recommendation Departments read, "beginning fall, 1972, intercollegiate athletics to be t e r m i n a t e d or to become self-supporting." "We are figh'ting for our lives," William Tomaras, chairman ofthe physical education department, said in a letter to faculty and students. "Of all the non-academicactivities we have up here, athletics is of more interest to the students and general public than any other. We fully expect to take a fair share of the necessary budget reductions, but we do not feel our fair share should be extinction," he said. Tomaras said that the present budget for the physical educationdepartment is about $80,000 and that revenue from ticket sales amount to only $8,-10,000. "Evidentlyour administration does not recognize or is unwilling to place a high enough priority on athleticcompetition to retain the program in a time of crisis," he said. "There is no vote scheduled. There is notomorrow. The president makes it quite plain that he favors the alternative which includes the eliminationof athletics. "We have what many people off our campus regard as a model athletic program in aneducational setting. We are proud of our athletes and coaches and their achievements and we'd like tobe able to continue .to provide the same opportunities for current and future generations of students," hesaid. Flora's recommendation for the Foreign Languages Department is to "reduce commitment by 50per cent, effective fall, 1972." Walter Robinson, chairman of the Foreign Languages Department, saidthat the cutback "would turn the calendar back to the year 1961 for this department. "It would appearthat through the sacrifice of 50 per cent of the faculty, staff and programs of this department, all otherdepartments and programs might be spared an immediate bloodletting," he said. "It is obvious that anysense of security other disciplines might derive from this brutal and ruthless decimation of the ForeignLanguages Department would prove short-lived." Robinson said he saw the recommendation as an effortto i m p l e m e n t the C u r r i c u l um Commission's attempt at abolishing the departmental structurethat Western recently rejected. "I hope that all departments will join me in protesting this unfair,discriminatory diminution, if not complete abolition, of a valid academic area," he said. "The effect of thissuggested curtailment of our program would not only destroy our majors in all a r e a s - F r e n c h ,German, Spanish, Russian, and Classics, both for the B.A. and B.A. in Education, together with ourfledgling Master's program-but would also provide inadequate resources for our service role to othergraduate and undergraduate programs," he said. He said that if the proposal were enacted, only a"token" foreign language program could be offered. "No other department would suffer such drasticcurtailment in actual faculty," he said. "The College of Ethnic Studies is offered the option of reducingunit costs through wider student participation or reducing faculty. Our department is not offered thisoption." WALTER ROBINSON He added that implementation of the cutbacks to his department "canonly result in a program characterized as less than mediocre for Western." Flora's recommendation forthe placement office is to "reduce to the level of record keeping only," effective fall, 1971. WILLIAMTOMARAS Louis T. Lallas, placement office director, said the implementation of Flora's proposal "wouldhurt very much in terms of services we could give students." "Record keeping is important, but ourrecruitment function is the real guts of the program," he said. Deanship Race Down to Two Candidates A field of 63 candidates for the Dean of Western position has been narrowed down to two by the DeanSelection C o m m i t t e e , and the final recommendations will be made to President Charles FloraThursday, selection committee chairman Alta Hansen told the Front last Friday. Richard Purtill,assistant professor of philosophy, and William Bultmann, professor of history, are the two candidateschosen by the selection committee. The committee is composed of four faculty members and twostudents who were charged by Flora in mid-April to find a person from within the college to replace FredKnapman, the current dean. Knapman's one-year appointment was primarily a stop-gap move to fill thepost until another dean could be found. Like Sen. Eugene McCarthy's wife, Richard Purtill says he isn'tmeasuring any curtains for the White House. "I can't imagine me being acceptable to theadministration," Purtill said Friday. He told the small group of students who gathered to talk with himthat his chances of becoming dean "are probably very small." Purtill likened his standing for the position to McCarthy's bid for the presidency: "I am standing to make my voice heard," he said. During thediscussion he attacked the administration for its recent "arbitrary, uninformed budget cuts." "Theprograms were arbitrarily cut at the whim of the administration," he-told students. Purtill contended thatfaculty should have the last word in such cuts and also in all other major decisions. "When it doesn'thave the last word, I and most of the better teachers will leave Western," he said. The problem Westernnow faces is that "the faculty doesn't trust the administration and the administration doesn't trustfaculty," he said. "And I suspect the students don't trust either." "Administrators tend to forget why thiscollege is up here on the hill," he said. RICHARD PURTILL Purtill said he doesn't consider himself anexperienced administrator though he has been chairman of the philosophy department and served a two-year term on the Faculty Council. " I f you want an experienced administrator, you don't want me,' hetold the students. An experienced administrator often has a certain cast of mind that "it's always beendone this way and shouldn't change," Purtill warned the students. Though he doesn't see himself asacceptable to the administration, Purtill said the majority of the faculty share his views. The buildingtension between faculty and administration has been developing over quite a few years, he pointed out. P r e s i d e n t Harvey Bunke's " administration proved a "disaster," President Paul Woodring allowed thefaculty to run things, and President Flora has been influenced by the provost and deans, Purtill said. "As an Academic Dean, R. D. Brown was a disaster," he continued, and "Knapman has been in a poorposition since he was appointed for just one year." Purtill further charged that Knapman has beentreated "shabbily" by keeping him on a chemistry professor's salary. Several of Flora's recommendedbudget cuts were attacked by Purtill as poor choices. The elimination of the Library ScienceDepartment, the combination of the Technology and Home E c o n o m i c s Departments, the e l i m i na t i o n of state-supported individual instruction for music and the 50 per cent reduction in the foreignlanguages department were singled out by Purtill. William Bultmann, chairman of the history department since 1968, has been offered deanships before, but decided to accept this nomination for Dean ofWestern because "there should be people in the administration who have a solid background in historyand math." Although he admits he'll miss teaching, the 49-year-old history professor felt his teachingbackground will be beneficial if he becomes dean. "You should have someone who is fresh out ofteaching rather than a life-long administrator. A dean should know the issues and know what thestudents think," he said. "That's why I'm glad one of the outside people didn't get nominated." Bultmannsees the dean's job as a fine balance between keeping the same quality at Western while working within the present budget cutbacks. "The dean will have a defensive job; defending what we have, rather thanpromoting something new," he said. "Whoever gets the job will be known as the Austere Dean becauseof the budget cutbacks." If Bultmann receives the deanship, he said he will continue along the samelines as the present dean, Fred W. Knapman, and build on what he has already done. He said it will behis duty to take a careful look at the new programs developing at Western "and very carefully helpingpeople who have good programs to advance them." WILLIAM BULTMANN "We have some damn gooddepartments already," he said, "and a dean ought to do everything to help maintain these departments."Bultmann said the dean's real power lies in his ability to use his personality as a persuasive force toconvince President Flora and Provost Sargent on new programs. "His job is to encourage leadership,"Bultmann said. "But with the current cutbacks, it's going to be rough as hell. He's going to have to lookfor quality in the programs. "But then you have to determine what is quality. This is the dean's job." One of Bultmann's concerns is maintaining the academic standards at Western. He wants to make sure thata degree from Western will mean something wherever the student goes. "If the degree from Westerndoes not mean anything, then the degree is no good," he said. Bultmann said he will watch the different departments through student opinion, how the faculty is regarded throughout the nation and by its growth pattern. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Front Editorials.... " To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted" Budget-Faculty Dilemma President Flora's budget- cutting recommendations have soinfuriated a number of key faculty members that the current rift between the faculty and administrationmay explode into a major feud in coming months. Dr. Richard Purtill, one of two apparent leadingcandidates for the Dean of Western post in Old Main, is using his platform to denounce some of theadministration's policies. Purtill, an associate professor and acting chairman of the PhilosophyDepartment, has publicly charged the college administration with failure to consult the faculty beforerecommending drastic cuts in certain departmental areas—one such cut would slash the ForeignLanguages Department budget by 50 per cent beginning fall quarter, 1972. T h e f a c u l t y — n o t t he administration—should have the final word concerning matters which directly affect the collegecurriculum, Purtill contends. We have reason to believe he speaks for a majority of the faculty. We agree that the administration should have t h o r o u g h l y reviewed the recommended budget cuts with thevarious The Money Squeeze concerned department heads. The chairman of the Foreign LanguagesDepartment, who obviously was surprised by the president's recommendations, can be excused forcalling the proposal discriminatory. Without more specific administration rationale, we cannot seriouslyconsider many of the administration's recommendations. How the Executive Committee of the FacultyCouncil can endorse the president's proposals—even reluctantly—is beyond us. Naturally, to offset the college's staggering $2.4 million deficit for the next biennium beginning July 1, some blood-letting willhave to take place on the departmental level. We only hope the administration is taking enough time toconsider every possible implication of cutting back some departmental activities in drasticproportions—including foreign languages, music and athletics—before making final decisions. Weencourage your participation in the public budget session with President Flora at 4 p.m. today in theMusic Auditorium. —John Stolpe Hopefully, the current money squeeze will lead to greater interest bythose in the college community about where their money goes. The money squeeze also might force the college to take a closer look at the kind of education it is providing and do something to improve it. Itfurther might be hoped that the money squeeze will serve as a unifying force, pulling together themembers of the college community in a concentrated effort to deal with the situation which faces us. Ifsome of the barriers and suspicions were broken down the college could become a more personalized,cooperative effort, dealing with the problem of education in the demanding period of economic stresswhich is upon us. It is doubtful that such will be the case. Even though students are now aware thattuition is going up $87 next year ($447 compared to $360) and will be $135 above the present $360 in1972, they still don't have any idea what their money goes for. While the budgets are being decided bythe AS Legislature, Associated Students Affairs Commission and other college bodies, the one voiceconspicuously absent is that of individual students. The various forms of education have been criticizedand defended as long as there have been alternative forms. There is no real reason to expect that thepresent fiscal crisis will bring any meaningful changes in the way education is run at Western. Beforeeducation can make any real changes there will have to be a widespread change in attitudes byeveryone; legislators, parents, citizens, students, teachers and administrators. If anything, the problemscreated by the fiscal crisis at Western have tended to alienate and polarize factions of the campuscommunity. Faculty attacked President Flora when faculty reductions were announced. Students don'tappear to be too interested in the whole thing. As usual, they will probably be subject to the whim ofdecisions made in the struggle between the administration and the faculty. Whatever conciliatory bonestossed to students will merely be consolations to "keep the people happy." —Ron Graham EDITOR:John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron Graham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor COPY EDITOR: JimAustin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Larry Lemon SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR:Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss STAFF REPORTERS the western FRONT"The Leading College Newspaper in Washington State" GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: Glen Jones, JimThomson, Pat Brennen, Mike Kerr, Rick Ries, Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.

A Dr. Stewart Wolf of theUniversity of Oklahoma says the men who live there eat the same fatty foods as the average Americanmale, but they don't have as many heart attacks. The doctor says this is because there is less strain inthat community. There is no strain on the man to get ahead because it is a "one-class" society. Also if afamily gets into trouble, the whole community chips in to help out. Yet most important, the doctor says, is that the man is the boss in the family.

Editor: I would like to bring a most ominous proposal to the a t t e n t i on of the Western community. By now many of us are aware that a draft of Western's budget for the1971-'73 biennium has been presented. A document of some length, I am concerned mainly with one ofits aspects—that of a budget cut for the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature. For someinexplicable reason, the College administration wants to cut this department's budget in half! Of course,the department would be rendered almost totally ineffective. At this time, when we cry about the need to communicate, a step such as this is quite a backward one. I do not see the need to justify theexistence of this department. Any thinking one of us can figure that out for himself. However, I think that President Flora's proposal most c e r t a i n l y needs some justification. I urge all members of ourcommunity to join in this cause. The world will get smaller every day despite what happens here inBellingham. Esther Kohler S/A, Spanish Constitutionalist Explanation Editor: Recently Arch E.Roberts, Lt. Col. Ret., Director of the "Committee to Restore the Constitution, Inc." with national officein Fort Collins, Colorado was quoted as saying "I am not an anti-Communist." This statement withoutexplanation raised some eyebrows among those who know of his efforts in behalf of our country. Col.Roberts has issued the following statement to clarify his position: ' ' I am not an "anti- C o m m u n i s t" because . . . Communism is not a viable political force. "Communism is a creature of those whofoment world revolution as a technique for destroying existing social orders and was imported intoRussia from America. "Under the leadership of one Lev Davidovich Bronstein (alias Leon Trotsky) threehundred trained assassins from the lower east side of New York were sent into Russia to take over the ( A l e x a n d r Feodorovich) Kerenski government. "This band of. nihilists, who were ultimatelyresponsible for the deaths of 12 million Russian citizens, were financed by a member of an internationalbanking house in New York City. "The same cabal now finance and inspire "Revolution U.S.A. "I am aconstitutionalist and oppose communism as an i n s t r u m e n t of a more sophisticated and sinisterconspiracy. "I deplore the ease with which these concealed enemies have alienated our people, onefrom the other, by right-left polatization. "I submit that it's time for Americans to halt the insane"communist-anticommunist" diversion and join in a common effort for survival. "We can begin byexposing and neutralizing the real enemy . . . the power behind "communism." "There will be a publicmeeting of the Shuksan Chapter to Restore the Constitution at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the American LegionHall. Ben Hinkel 2315 N. Shore Rd. English Courses Two team-taught courses will be added to theEnglish Department's list next year. The major change in English curriculum will be the addition of a new course, English 397 (Classical Baroque, neo-classical) tentatively planned for winter quarter. The coursewill be offered as a 12-credit package and will be team-taught by Marjorie Donker, Marjorie Ryan, andGeorge Muldrow. English 397 still needs departmental and academic council approval, however, Muldrow doesn't foresee any trouble. The class will meet four days per week, three hours per day, 90 minutes inthe morning and 90 minutes in the afternoon. It will cover periods in literature now covered by the English322, 323 series (English literature, Spenser through Metaphysical poets, and Dryden through Johnson).Specific years studied will be 1400 to 1800. Students interested in the new course will be individuallyinterviewed as enrollment must be kept down to 35 students, according to Muldrow. The other team-taught course will be 385e to be offered next spring. Titled Contemporary Issues in Literature, it will dealspecifically with women in literature and will be taught by Mrs. Donker, Dr. Ryan and Meredith Cary.Letter Writer Applauded Editor: Re: L. W. Enos' letter, "Economics and Religions Cause Wars" I wasdelighted by the cool tongue-in-cheek wit of L. W. Enos (Mr., Mrs., Miss?). He (she) really added a veryfresh and humorous parady on some popular modern bugaboos. Right on, Enos! The world is in sadneed of comedians. Dennis B.

SaysFountains Not Ecological Editor: With all the ecological awareness that is supposedly around, 1wonder why there are drinking fountains running all the time all over this campus. I have noticed them(and turned them off) in dorms, the library, class buildings, and the Viking Union Some people say thewater is not cold unless it is left running. I reply that if we are willing to trade who knows how manygallons of water for the privilege of not having to hold the handle ourselves while it gets cold (twoseconds?) we should shut up about Georgia Pacific et al. Ecology begins at home. Michele BrothersSophomore Home Economics Gives Infirmary Superior Rating Editor: My pill bottle cap is off to thestaff of the school infirmary. The treatment I have received from them is in most ways superior to havingto face a private physician who may be wary of payment. I haven't had an overbilling from the infirmary,yet. The nurses handle the patients at the infirmary with a professionality which helps one forget aboutthe time one may have to wait. The d o c t o r s explain treatment so that the patient may aid inpreventing reoccurrences^ The whole outfit serves people, so if you're sick, have student I.D., and have a flat wallet, try out the services at the infirmary. Remember two things, though; it isn't a hospital, and itis a service, not a privilege.

New Medical Insurance Plan The Student Health Services Committee has announced a new Medical Insurance Plan for next year. The policy, if taken for all three quarters,entitles the policy holder to free summer coverage anywhere in the world. The coverage cost per schoolquarter for a single student has been raised to $12.85. The cost to cover a student and one or moredependents has also been raised, to $27.50 per quarter. It is handled by a local firm, making claimsquestions easily handled. There is blanket coverage' of up to $1,000 per accident no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. According to the Student Health Services Committee this, "is the best coverage wecan obtain for a modest premium." Teacher-Researcher Program The Teacher-Researcher Program, aone-year laboratory experience at Whatcom Middle School, is now accepting applications. Freshmenand sophomores are particularly encouraged to participate in the program which begins next fall. Aninformational meeting will be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Miller Hall 316.

Rash of Cycle Thefts Plague Campus Security By MARILEEPETHTEL Front Reporter Bicycle and motorcycle thefts are on the rise, according to Edward Donovan,Security Investigations officer. More than 35 bikes, valued at over $2,500 have been taken in the pastfour months. Four motorcycles have also been taken, the first thefts in over a year. Officers believe that a small number of Western students are involved in the bike thefts. Many of the bicycles taken areshipped south to Seattle or Tacoma where they are sold at low prices. Last year a whole bike rack, bikes and all, was taken from the Birnam Wood area. These bikes were also probably taken south and sold,said Donovan. Other bikes are used around campus, because the thieves know it is nearly impossible togo around and check the serial numbers on all the bicycles on campus. Security officers are workingwith the Bellingham police in trying to stop the thefts and recover some of the stolen bikes. So far therehave been no arrests for bicycle thefts. Donovan said that officers are fairly sure of certain individualswho are probably taking the bikes, but proving anything is very difficult. Donovan warned that a stiffpenalty faces those arrested for theft. A former Western student recently finished six months in jail forthe theft of a stereo from a dorm room. Donovan said that greater problem than the thefts is theintimidation and fear tactics used by the thieves. One Fairhaven student witnessed an attempted theft,but will not help with an arrest because of threats made. Students will have to work with officers in orderto stop bicycle thefts, Donovan explained. At Fairhaven, a small group of students have joined togetherto try to stop bike thefts from the Fairhaven dorms. Bicycles are parked in a central area, and a watch iskept over them all day and all night. Students have suggested a small locked shed might solve the theftproblem. Donovan explained security measures that can be taken to safe-guard bikes. Most important he said, was to know the serial number of the bike. If the bike is stolen, it may be recovered through serialnumbers. When storing bikes, it is important to lock the bike to some stationary object. If it possible,store bikes inside. Don't leave them out overnight, or over the week-end, he emphasized, as this is whenthe majority of the bikes are taken. Donovan added that those who have had bikes taken should checkwith security and the city police. Both places have several recovered bikes. New Food StampRegulations The United States Department of Agriculture has proposed new food stamp regulationswhich will probably affect Western students. Students would no longer be able to use educationalexpenses for hardship deductions. The shelter cost hardship would stay the same. Thirty per cent ofincome would be deductible. Other deductions would be medical payments exceeding $10 per month,emergency expenses and child care necessary for work. To be eligible for food stamps, all householdmembers under 60 years of age must be legally related. Unrelated roomers do not disqualify thehousehold. A household with anyone 18 years or older who is claimed as a tax dependent by membersof another household, such as parents, who do not receive food stamps, is not eligible. Maximummonthly income standards have also been proposed: 1 person: $160/month 2 persons: $210/month 3persons: $293/month The State Division of Public Assistance and the USDA will have to work together to design a plan for Washington which will satisfy their new regulations.

Smith Cleaners * Laundry, Inc.State Boulevard Always Open Chess Club President Revives Pawn Interest By DAN TOLVA FrontReporter Western's love affair with chess hasn't exactly been torrid in the past, but new enthusiasm forthe game by many students promises to liven things up around the Chess Club. Most responsible forresurrecting the game is Steve Chase, president of the club. Chase, a senior history major from Everett,has taught classes in chess, arranged tournaments and encouraged individuals in developing their skill at chess. His motives? "Chess is a game that develops the mind. When two players battle each otherthey stand or fall on their ability to think." This quarter he teaches a class in modern chess openings forthe Free University. Openings such as the "King's Indian," "Queen's Gambit" and the "Sicillian Defense"are gone over in detail at 7 p.m. every Thursday at the Campus Christian Ministry. The Chess Club hasfinished a round-robin tournament to determine the top players to represent Western at intercollegiatetournaments. Along with overseeing the club tournament, Chase has manufactured four large observation boards to allow an audience to view a game without crowding the players. The boards measure four feetsquare each complete with 32 cardboard pieces. These boards are to be used for the Peace Arch Open, to be held at Western next November. Chase is handling the logistics for a projected 50 entries. The last Peace Arch Open, also organized by Chase, drew 29 players from British Columbia, Washington andOregon. The strong showing of the Canadians is a sore spot with him. "If we could get a few of the betterplayers from Seattle up here for these things, we might stand a chance," he said. "As it is, theCanadians have the trophy." Chase feels that the popularity of the game is growing on campus and thatthere are probably some very good players around who for some reason or other haven't joined the Chess Club. "I'd really like to get more students involved in the club. Competition with each other wouldsharpen their playing, improving the club as a whole. Perhaps then we could play teams like theUniversity of Washington and fare better than we have in the past." LANGE VOLKSWAGEN 112 Samish Way 734-5230 Sales: New and used Volkswagens.

JACK'S BIKE SHOP AMERICAN EAGLE" 733-19552006 James St. By BRIAN MORRIS Front Reporter Speaking at a Huxley Seminar Thursday, RobertBurd promised to "zero in on environmental pollution more effectively" with new legislation effective inJuly. Burd is Deputy Regional Director of the newly established Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA was created by President Nixon in December and combines all the previous pollutionprograms into one organization which Burd described as a "young, aggressive agency." Burd works outof the Seattle regional office which covers Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska, and according toBurd, our region has higher water pollution standards, than any other region in the country. Eighty-fiveper cent of the EPA budget goes for grants to build sewage treatment plants and for state and localagencies to set up their own staff of environmental control boards, Burd said. The weakness of the EPABurd explained is in the enforcement provision which requires the EPA to prove that "discharge in onestate does actual economic damage to another state." Commenting on the Anacortes oil spill, Burdsaid, "It is fortunate that it was diesel oil," as opposed to crude oil. As of now, Washington has one of the three bodies of water to be officially cleaned up by the EPA, Lake Washington. The other two are theWillamette River in Oregon and San Diego Bay. In Puget Sound the EPA has taken legal action againstGeorgia Pacific and Weyerhauser in efforts to stop pollution. When the permit legislation becomeseffective July 1, the EPA "won't award a permit unless corporations agree to establish a sewagetreatment plant with a set time schedule/'Burdsaid. your western front want advisor helps more peopleget the results they want than anyone else in the college community.

Graduation CeremoniesGraduation exercises for 1,400 eligible students will be held from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., June 11 in Carver Gym, according to Tim Douglas, assistant dean of students. The featured speaker will be Dr. RonaldWilliams, dean of ethnic studies. Douglas expects only 600 students to attend. He said that manystudents who graduated in fall or winter quarter will not be returning for the ceremonies. The registrar'soffice reported that 873 bachelor degrees will be awarded: Bachelor of Arts, 391; Bachelor of Science, 34;Bachelor of Arts in Education, 444; Bachelor of Arts in Education from Fairhaven and Ethnic Studies, 3;and Bachelor of Arts from Ethnic Studies, 1. Approximately 50 Master's degrees will be awarded. Therewill be a reception in the Viking Union following the ceremonies. Lettuce Shortage Possible Lettuce may be in short supply on campus unless more Bellingham food retailers demand only United Farm Workers(UFW) lettuce from produce suppliers. Last week, committees at Western and Fairhaven decided thatonly UFW lettuce would be served in their respective dining halls. Although the committees have no realauthority over Saga's policies, Food Services Director Vince Gallagher said Saga would follow the groups' decisions. Jack Smith, Viking Union facilities director, said Friday that none of the dining facilities oneither campus had yet run short of UFW lettuce, but that there was a possibility of a shortage in thefuture. "More people are going to have to start stipulating union (UFW) lettuce so that the producehouses will put pressure on their suppliers for it," he said. Saga buys most of its lettuce from Keene'sProduce in Bellingham. Gallagher said Saga might have trouble getting only UFW lettuce, and that if itwasn't available Saga would probably not serve lettuce. The Gang Preacher' 'The Gang Preacher," DaveWilkerson, will be in Bellingham next week. Author of "The Cross and the Switchblade," he has workedwith several New York City gamgs, especially with drug addicts. He became famous after interrupting agang trial in an attempt to help the members. He founded the New York Teen Challenge, a drugrehabilitation program which claims 74 per cent cure rate among heroin users on its program. Wilkerson, a minister from Pennsylvania, now travels around the world, speaking to young people. Reaching 3,000 to 10,000 people a week, he speaks on drugs, sex and rebellion. Appearing with Wilkerson will be DallasHolm, a former rock singer. They will be at Bellingham High School Auditorium, June 4 and 5 at 7:30p.m. Photography Funds Cut Budget cutbacks have left the technology department with only enoughfunds for a half-time photography instructor. "It's a sad, sad case of running out of money," Sam R. Porter, chairman of the department, said. "We lost our instructor and while we were looking for a new one welost our allocation for one," Porter said. The department was able to provide enough funds for a part-timephotography instructor. "We hope to have a new instructor in the fall," he said. The tech department is asmall department and the faculty are specialized in narrow fields. Faculty can't be cut without jeopardizing programs, Porter said. Porter compared it to the language programs; the electronics instructor can't beexpected to teach photography any more than a Russian instructor can be expected to teach Latin.Photography enjoyed tremendous growth over the past few years, due primarily to the efforts andpopularity of the late Mark Flanders. The popular night course, tech. 160, will continue. The 160 coursewas started to accommodate students who just wanted a general knowledge of photography. "Itbackfired," confessed Porter. "It whetted their appetites for more." Demand for photography coursescontinues to exceed the resources of the department. The present budget situation will limit practically all classes to tech and VICOED majors. Porter sympathized with students trying to get into photographycourses. "How do you explain not being able to get into a class for three years?" ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Western Front 9 Review Photo By DAVE SHERMAN Production of 'Boys in theBand' Receives Compliments from Critic By CY HILL Front Drama Critic When George Mead chose todo The Boys in the Band for the first all-student production on campus, he chose one of the finest andmost difficult to produce plays in contemporary theatre. Author Mart Crowley sets his drama at abirthday party given by six homosexuals for a friend, and then adds a heterosexual male (he claims he is) as the catalyst for the ensuing conflict. In this play the homosexual is seen in his own world, and thisprovides a very different perspective for the viewer. The men on stage are not "freaks," but very human.Crowley's major concern is with how each of the personalities is able to cope with the social problemsand guilt that arise from being homosexual in a society that outlaws homosexuality. Mead has beentremendously successful in his production. The cast was chosen with remarkable foresight, and thecollaboration between actors and director has produced a show that is professional. Every prop is perfectdown to the color of the Pouilly-Fuisse, and the set itself is a work of art. Everyone associated with theplay has reason to be proud for whatever part they played in making this fine show possible. All of theacting is good, but there are several performances that are outstanding. Randy Hansen plays Larry with a refined cool and is always present as a force on stage, and Benjamin H. Paster's performance asBernard is very real and imaginative. Joseph Grant plays the difficult role of Donald with great eptitudeand insight. But Larry Hannon performs the lead role of Michael with such professionalism and in suchminute detail that it is at times difficult to see anyone else on stage. Hannon is in complete control of hischaracter at every moment, and the play is well worth seeing for his performance alone. The play opened Sunday and runs through Friday on the fourth floor of the Viking Union addition. No one will be seatedafter the show begins at 8:15 p.m. and seating is only for 100 persons. If they are not already sold out, Isuggest that you attend any night that you can get a ticket.

PresidentFlora has recommended that all intercollegiate athletics be dropped by the fall of 1972 or find ways ofbecoming self-supporting. Admittedly the college is in a financial crisis. The budget passed by the StateLegislature has placed Flora in a position where cuts must be made if Western is to survive. However,because we must now cinch up our money belts and attempt to get the best education for the leastamount of dollars is not reason enough to begin lopping off any department simply because the amountat the side of the budget would satisfy Pres. Flora's demands. Instead of killing off a few departmentsaltogether it would be wiser to limit many in their spending. The order to "desist or WESTERN/ATHLETICS D/£D f97Z become self-supporting" in one year's time is almost like asking RichardNixon to bring the troops home this afternoon. It is a nice dream, but that is all it is, a dream. Of the ten intercollegiate sports sponsored by Western, only one, basketball, would have any possible chance ofbecoming self-supporting within a year. The administration's position is that intercollegiate sports arenot necessary to the educational value of this institution. More important than the athletic d e p a r t m en t are such d e p a r t m e n t s as physics, chemistry and so on. The disagreement here, however, isnot that athletics are more important than other departments, but just as important. Western is aneducational school, and though it has become more of a liberal arts college in recent years, its primaryproduction is still to the field of education. The athletic department, largely through intercollegiate sports, supplies the state with many highly qualified coaches, instructors and administrators. If intercollegiateathletics are cut entirely, then so should courses such as honors chemistry, high level biology andhistory. Intercollegiate athletes are on the same level as students in these courses. An athlete of superior ability has just as much right to exercise these abilities in intercollegiate competition as an honorsbiology student does of attempting to find the answer to how and why organisms live. To force Vikingteams to try to become self-supporting or face extinction is like telling them to go out and get money anyway they can. One certain, ethical, method which will be used is to begin charging students admission to contests, instead of admitting them free in the past. But again, the only sport this might help would bebasketball. Intercollegiate athletics need to make budget cuts, there is no question about that. But totalelimination is not the answer. Out of all the departments that spend money, the athletics department isone of the few that actually takes revenue in also. Student participation and interest has greatlyincreased in athletics over the past few years. It would be criminal to kill that enthusiasm and support atthe peak of its success. Dr. William Tomaras Western athletic director, and several Viking coaches havevoiced not only concern, but a willingness to help make sacrifices in order to save the program. Whencutting programs in order to save money, a close look should be given to not only the amount of moneythat would be saved, but also at the educational and social value that would be lost. Pres. Flora shoulduse his budgetary scalpel to cut away the deadwood and non-essentials, not a logger's axe swingingblindly at anything with a dollar's sign followed by a lot of zeros. Banquet Sign-Up Deadline TomorrowTomorrow is the last day for lettermen to sign up for the All-Sports banquet to be held Wednesday June2 at 8 p.m. at the Viking Commons Dining Hall.

Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Viks Second In Net FinalsWinning one event, Western's tennis team took second in the Evergreen' Conference championship meet, which took place Friday and Saturday in Monmouth, Ore. The Vikings finished behind Southern Oregon. The final scores were Southern Oregon 112, Western 76, Whitworth 72, Central 39, host Oregon College21, Eastern Washington four and Eastern Oregon no score. Oregon Tech did not compete. Western'sfirst place finish came in No. 2 doubles with Larry Corbin and Steve Adelstein combining for thechampionship. Second place finishes for the Viks were gained by Corgin, No. 3 singles, Frank Williams,No. 5 singles and Williams and Doug Clark, No. 3 doubles. The Vikings socred third place points withArnie Larson, No. 2 singles, Clark, No. 6 singles and Steve Doerrer and Larson, No. 1 doubles. Doerrerand Adlestein each placed fourth in No. 4 singles, respectively. "We played well," said Vik coach DonWiseman. "We lost a couple of close ones, but still did a pretty good job." Wiseman referred to the lossof two tie breaking matches. The doubles team of Doerrer and Larson lost a three set tie breaker in thesemi-finals, as did Corbin in his singles event. The Vikings will compete in the NAIA District I match thisFriday and Saturday in Spokane. The individual and doubles winners there will advance to the NAIAnational championship tournament. Lightweight Four Third in Seattle Western's lightweight four crewplaced third in the finals in the Western Sprint Regatta, held Saturday on Lake Washington's AndrewsBay in Seattle. The Viks rowed the 2000-meter course in 7:14.9 trailing the University of Washington No.2 team and Pacific Lutheran University. The Huskies finished in 6:59.4 and the Lutes were timed in7:13.0. The UW No. 1 shell finished fourth followed by San Diego, Santa Clara, San Diego State andOregon. Other Viking boats in the Regatta were the varsity eights and varsity fours with coxwain, whoplaced fifth and third respectively in consolation heats of their events. In the big race of the day,Washington's varsity eight crew won the Ebright Cup race, defeating the University of British Columbia,Loyola, Cal State, Long Beach, UCLA and Stanford. Washington dominated the meet, adding victories inthe junior varsity eights, freshman eights, four with coxwain, and varsity fours with coxwain. The onlyraces not won by the Huskies were the four without coxwain and pair with coxwain, won by UBC andOrange Coast Rowing Club, respectively. Fish Eye Keep Them Hooked Western Front 11 By SCOTTANDERSON Front Reporter Probably the biggest cause of losing fish, next to poor line or faultyequipment, is due to improper technique. Many fishermen, once they get a fish hooked, literally "horse"their fish in with, their drag set tight. Rather than doing this, one should have the drag set fairly loose toplay the fish. Some reels have an additional button which allow the reel to move both ways when a fish is on. Such reels allow maximum play and make fishing a much more exciting sport. I have also foundthat I lose fewer fish when I make use of this button, which can be switched quickly with a flick of thethumb. Another mistake many fishermen make is holding their rod low when bringing in the fish. The rod should be held at a high angle from the body, especially when fishing from a boat. Streams offer theirown problems when they are heavily wooded or surrounded by underbrush. For example lines have atendency to become tangled around small trees and underbrush. T h e r e are only two suggestions Ican make here: 1) use a pole which comes apart and 2) keep the pole low and close to the body.Occasionally carrying the pole in a vertical angle is necessary to avoid tangles. Incidentally, Whatcomhas been producing bass to five pounds, in addition to cuts up to six pounds. Balke Mound LeaderWestern baseball pitcher Don Balke led the Evergreen Conference (Evco) pitching title this season,according to official Evco releases. Balke, a sophomore from Edmonds, led Evco with an earned runaverage of 0.50. He was followed by Greg Schulte of Central, 1.33, Tom Beal of Whitworth, 2.00, andDave Heaverlo of Central, 2.65. Balke allowed three earned runs in 52 innings of conference action.Heaverlo led Evco in strikeouts with 51 fannings. Beall won the league batting crown with a .475 average, followed by Tim Huntly of Central, .407, and Frank Teicheira of Oregon Tech and Mark Gantar ofCentral, both batting .400. Final league standings announced by the Evco office had Central in firstplace (7-4) followed by Whitworth (7-5), Oregon College and Southern Oregon (8-6), Western andEastern Oregon (6-6), Eastern Washington (4-5) and Oregon Tech (3-11).

This statement, a part of President Flora's tentative plan for the budgetaryperiod 1971-73, in essence calls for varsity athletics to cease by fall quarter 1972. A part of alternativefive, a plan Flora openly favors, it in actuality kills the athletic program in that it is nearly impossible tomake the program self-supporting in a year's time. "In our judgment an inter-collegiate program atWestern cannot be self-supporting," states athletic director Dr. William Tomaras! "The current budget ofapproximately $80,000 is well worth the expenditure," Tomaras said, "in terms of value to the training ofphysical education teachers and coaches, in terms of student participation, morale and recreationalinterest." Western's athletic program has stuck rigidly to an educationally-oriented program and inperspective with the total educational program. The control of the program has always come through theinstitution itself, not alumni or businessmen who might take it out of its moderately financed,educationally sound context. "Now Flora is proposing, in a completely hypocritical move, a completereversal of philosophy. For athletics to continue even on a partial basis, funds would have to be solicitedfrom alumni and "downtown" sources. Such an idea is absurd. It seems when the pressure is on Floracannot back a program that has done everything in its power to meet the standards of an educationally-oriented athletic program. As Tomaras states, "Our administration does not recognize or is unwilling toplace a high enough priority on athletic competition to retain the program in a time of crisis." "We fullyexpect to take a fair share of the necessary budget reductions, but we do not feel our fair share should beextinction." No other non-academic program has the interest of more students than athletics. Certainly itis a program for those students with superior motor skills, yet hundreds of others reap enjoyment asspectators. It would also seem that if there were questions as to the validity of a program, that those inthe department would be queried about possible moves. In fact, this has noot been the case. It seems the administration on this issue takes advice from everyone except those most knowledgeable of thesubject. Now the decision is out of the athletic department's hands, not only before the proposal, but after it as well. It is now up to the students, townspeople, alumni and athletes to take action by respondingdirectly to President Flora if athletics are to continue at Western. It is feasible that if the current proposalbecomes fact and a self-supporting program is started, that in time it could grow to dominate the entireschool as it does now in many institutions, one such being only 80 miles away. This is not wanted byanyone. What is wanted is a fair shake in regard to athletics. It may take a little effort to make many little reductions than a big one, but certainly in this instance well worth it. Cindermen Fifth Ma gee, Vorce,Long Win Evergreen Track Titles By KENT SHERWOOD Sports Editor Qualifying four competitors forthe nationals, Western's track squad placed fifth in the Evergreen Conference (Evco) meet, held Fridayand Saturday in Monmouth, Ore. Oregon College, who hosted the meet, won the championship, scoring175 points, followed by Central, 142%, Southern Oregon, 88, Eastern Washington, 8P/2, Western, 76%,Eastern Oregon, 30, Whitworth, 25 and Oregon Tech, 8. Western's Evco champions were Jim Magee inthe 220, Bill Long in the pole vault, and Mike Vorce in the 440-yd. intermediate hurdles. Magee ran a21.7, a lifetime best for the 23-year old freshman. Long vaulted 14-0, again tying his school record.Vorce won in a time of 54.2, far slower than his record time of 53.4 set a week ago against Central, butthe sophomore from Lyle High School won easily, defeating his arch rival Mike Behrbaum of Central.Behrbaum finished third. By winning at the conference meet, all three automatically qualified for the NAIA championship meet, to be held June 3., 4, and 5 in Billings, Mont. Also qualifying for the national meetwas Steve Lippitt who took second in the six-mile run. Lippitt's time of 31:19.4 was well under thenational qualifying standard. Other seconds in the Evco meet for the Viks were by the mile relay team ofVorce, Dick Foley, Jeff May and Mike Page, in 3:20.4 and Page in the' open 440-yd. dash in 49.6.Western thirds were won by Magee in the 100 (9.9) and the 440-yd. relay team of Vorce, Dan Wakefield,Magee and Page (43.6). Magee recorded a lifetime best of 9.7 in a preliminary heat held Friday. Vikingsplacing fifth were Ken Johnson in both the high hurdles (15.3) and intermediate hurdles (57.8), KellyStecker in the mile (4:23.2) and May in the 440 (49.6). Sixth place honors for Western were earned byJim Wilcox, shot put (47-9), Bob Christenson, discus (146-5), and Wes Busch, pole vault (13-0).Freshman Mark Salzman leaped a lifetime best of 6-0 in the high jump, but failed to place. OCE's victoryput an end to Central's dominance of Evco track. The Wildcats had owned the league crown for nineyears. Oregon College won seven events, taking the first four places in the high hurdles and the first three in the high jump. Bob Keyes won the hurdles for the Wolves in 14.9, followed by teammates DaveStephans, Ken Boethin and Mike Saylor. Dennis Olafson won the high jump, soaring 6-8 with Keys andStephens each going 6-6 for second and third. —details page 11 WEDNESDAY NIGHT from 7-10DIME SCHOONERS 1112 Cornwall WEDS, thru SAT. 733-0201

Striking Washington Public Employes Associationmembers returned to work yesterday after Gov. Dixy Lee Ray met with WPEA Executive Director AnnQuantock. The 3,000 member WPEA struck at selected locations Tuesday and had planned" to callout all its members yesterday. Wednesday night Western's 280-member Washington Federation ofState Employes local (AFL-CIO) passed a resolution calling on the Federation's Executive Council tocall for an immediate strike vote by the 14,000-member union. The Federation's Executive Council met last night, with results unavailable at press time. The WPEA was seeking a 20 per cent salaryincrease. Quantock said she was satisfied with a 10 per cent increase included in the House versionof the proposed state budget. In return for an end to the strike Gov. Ray promised to establish a panelto study state salary scales and benefits for all the state's 50,000 employes. BY CLAY HARTL Acomplaint was lodged about last week's election by Doug Scott, candidate for Position 9, at Tuesday's meeting of the AS Board of Directors. Scott contended that both the voting ballots and the votingmachines "failed to contain my party affiliation (Liberal)," and that if left on, he might have receivedmore votes, thus winning the election. Tony Mauhar, election chairperson, said that it had been"inadvertently omitted from the ballot and the machines." When asked about compensation atMonday's meeting of the Election Board, Scott replied, "I want a re-run." At that meeting, MartinReeves, the winning candidate (by 91 votes) said, "I see the re-run as a senseless exercise, given thesubstantial margin of the results." There was considerable discussion about whether the word "liberal" was used as a philosophy or an actual party affiliation. Dave Marchbank, AS vice-president, said theword couldn't be used to relay a philosophy because election platforms aren't allowed within 25 feet ofthe voting booths. He also pointed out that Scott, as a single candidate, didn't make up a "party." Thisview supports the argument that inclusion of the word liberal wouldn't have made much difference. Mark Gramps, board member, said the use of the word could have run the votes the other way, also,taking more votes away from Scott. Scott admitted this was true but the possibility that the liberal tagwould have gotten him more votes still existed. The board's final decision was to vote against Scott andto ratify Martin Reeves as the Position 9 board member for next year. Student health insurance rates go up for next year by JAN WALLACE Student Health Insurance will cost either $34 or $79 a quarternext year. The $8 increase in single coverage and $18 jump in student-with-dependent coverage are part-of Western's negotiated contract with Whatcom County Physicians Service. The changes are aimed at limiting use and abuse of the health plan, Mary Robinson, associate dean of students, said. Robinsonpointed to dependents as the heaviest users of the plan. Abuse, she said, has included using theinsurance to cover elective surgery. Robinson listed other changes in the health plan. Next year, it willbe mandatory to apply for student health insurance upon entering school. That is, if a student wantsinsurance he has to get it his first quarter of the 1977 school year. A 90-day waiting period prior toseeking treatment under the health plan for a pre-existing condition is a new requirement in the plan. Atleast 2,000 students must enroll for insurance according to the agreement. This is about the number whohave enrolled in the past. v ., . ...v v .. .._. .

Bettis, other administration members and students generally agree the changes are needed. ,When Fairhaven first opened, it was a small, tightly-knit community governed by an unwritten "folk law,"one administration member said. But as the college grew, some of this feeling was lost and questionsarose as to the lines of authority. "In the early years, the administration was run like a family andimportant decisions were made by the committees," Fairhaven Admissions Director Hannah Wegner said. "This system worked while Fairhaven was small," she said. "At that time, students took a strong interest in Fairhaven's governance. But there has been a change in student attitude. Now we have to coercepeople to serve on the committees." Fairhaven has never had an officially accepted charter or by-laws.Thus, Bettis said, responsibility and definitions were not clearly spelled out. A set of by-laws currently isbeing formed by John Bremer, ot Western's education department, who, along with Beth Powers, is thetemporary associate dean at Fairhaven. A charter was set up last winter by a group of students andfaculty which states Fairhaven's purpose and its relation to Western. When completed and approved bythe Fairhaven community, the by-laws, along with the already approved charter, will be sent to Western'sBoard of Trustees for official approval. "The old system was a headache," Wegner said. "There was noone to pin down for certain actions. It tunneled all responsibility to the dean. The new system will delegate lines of responsibility. "This doesn't mean Fairhaven's turning into a bureaucratic monster. Our intentionisto form a sensible structure to hear and channel student concerns more effectively." Another factor inthe need for. change has been community reaction to Bettis. Bettis' contract was renewed for four yearswinter quarter, but not until a heated community referendum questioning his rehiring was settled. "Bettishas met with a lot of controversy and opposition," Doug Leber, a member of the associate dean searchcommittee, said. "We had to use some governance procedures and they turned out to be an ungodlymess. He enabled us to see the flaws in the system." "Bettis has faced mistrust by the community,"Wegner said. "The new system will provide more checks and balances on the dean." The new systemalso will give Fairhaven some protection it has never legally had before. "If Fairhaven has an officialgovernance system, then it will be able to deal with Western's administration and they, in turn, will beable to judge Fairhaven," Leber said. "If we don't have an official structure Western can deal with, theycan tell us 'This is the way it's going to be.' If we have a structure, then we have a say so, a protection,"Wegner said. The new system also will include the position of associate dean, which previously had noofficial status with Western. The position, which was held by Dick Norris until his resignation winterquarter, is responsible for "non-academic" activities, such as housing and dining and student activities. A search committee is now reviewing applications for a permanent replacement. Leber said it is criticalthat Fairhaven define its purpose and direction so the new associate, deaii "will have a set of rules to dea. with when he starts working." There are several problems in establishing the new system, anadministration member said. Fairhaven is a place of creative freedom and administrators don't want tostifle this with a lot of red tape. Also, there is a conflict between the idea of "central authority" and theFairhaven community, which views itself as governed from the roots up, he said. Finally, there is no clearprocedure for approval of the new documents. It must be approved by Fairhaven, he said, but who isFairhaven? That's defined in the new documents!

Faculty comments to theFront regarding the Handbook centered on the subject of tenure and promotion of faculty. David Pervear,geology, said the Handbook was needed "to facilitate the administration, hiring, shuffling and firing offaculty." He explained that if the level of funds at Western drops, due to declining enrollment, the statewill not provide money for retention of faculty. In that case, he added, the administration must have amechanism for dealing with the problem. A different perception was expressed by Pete Steffens,journalism. "I was not persuaded by the administration, that is Talbot (James Talbot, vice president foracademic affairs), that the changes were really in the interest of enhancing the educational qualities ofWestern, but were out of economic considerations." Steffens said the Handbook "puts the brake onindividual teachers' chances for advancement to permanent status." He said qualifications for promotionhave been stiffened to save salary money and hold back people from permanent position in the college.Americole Biasini, music, approved the Handbook. Biasini said the Handbook "more clearly definesscholarship and process necessary for attaining advancement." Referring to procedures for promotion, he explained, "We in the College of Fine and Performing Arts have a preference for creative behaviors over the more traditional publishing routes." He added he personally prefers "supplanting thepublication route with composition or performance." Other comments addressed the procedure foramendment of the Handbook. A faculty member, who wished to remain anonymous, was opposed to thenew procedure. He said the document gives an unconstitutional power to the Board of Trustees to change faculty hiring procedures. He said the nature of the hiring rules is a faculty process and "ratification bythe faculty is essential to the legitimacy of the rules." Ruth Weiner, Huxley professor and acting Dean of Huxley College, agreed that "formal amendment procedures should come from faculty." She assertedthat the Handbook is a good document but that no adequate legal protection for faculty is included. Sheexplained that the Faculty Handbook is not a contract, although it is commounly referred to as one. Shesaid there needs to be a "good legal opinion on whether this is a contract or not." Weiner also expressed dissatisfaction with parts of the Handbook relating to termination of programs. She said there is nocriteria at all for deciding continuation or discontinuation of pro-prams. Weiner was unhappy with themethod of ratification of the Handbook. She said faculty should have been able to vote on each sectionof the document. Although Weiner is currently a faculty member, she did not receive a ballot for voting. "Maybe they just forgot me," she said. James O'Brien, English, was a member of the committee thatdrafted the new handbook. He said the work entailed compiling and editing various processes andprocedures that had been established over the years. O'Brien claimed no essential changes in anyparticular faculty member's case had been made. He emphasized that the Handbook is "a matter ofcompromise. It's not a.perfect document, but it's the best agreement to get out of the Faculty Council atthis time." He said the important thing was to get some policies established that are up to date.Otherwise, he added, "There would still be a lot of loose procedures that allowed people to do what theywant." by PEGGY WATT The marijuana decriminalization bill has been amended to keep possession acrime, but with a lesser penalty, under cnanges dy the Senate Social and Health Services Committee last week. The measure is now in the Senate Rules Committee before going for a vote by the entire Senate.House Bill 257 passed the House on its second try after much controversy. It decriminalized possessionof up to 40 grams of marijuana. The Senate committee's amendments would consider violations ascriminal offenses but with a $25 fine and payment of up to $50 for mandatory enrollment in thedrugeducation program, for the first two offenses only. The records would be purged after two years if therewere no more offenses. "It's not decriminalization," said Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham),sponsor of the Senate decriminalization bill which died of neglect in the Senate Judiciary Committee. "It's not too much of a bill. I'm not completely satisfied, but I support it as being the best bill we can getthrough this legislature," he said. The bill passed the Senate committee May 5, with 7-4 margin. Aproposed amendment by Sen. Kent Pullen (R-Kent) failed, which would have set a mandatory two-yearimprisonment for sale of marijuana. Goltz said a change in laws is necessary because current laws donot work. He likens the use of marijuana to that of alcohol and tobacco, which were not curbed byprohibition or health threats. "It could be the public really wants marijuana part of the environment," Goltzsaid. "But the present law is not being applied or enforced and should be changed. This is our. change."U Applications are beinp taken for WE STERN FRONT editor Summer, 77.Seven copies off the resumeplus any supporting material due in HU 340 by Monday Noon, May 16 Selection will be Wednesday,May: 181977 in HU 101 at 2:00 PM Applications are being taken for WESTERN] FRONTeditor FALL1977!- Seven copies of the resume plus any supporting material due in HU 340 by Monday Noon, May i16 Selection will be Wednesday, May 181977 in HU 101 at 2:00 PM -£ *v* ^p rtfr A.

Four bills of interest to students may diea quiet death if no noise is made soon. The bills — the university name change, collective bargainingrights for state instructors, marijuana decriminalization and term paper sale reform — are currentlystuck in the Senate Rules Committee. This is the last stop before they go to the Senate floor, and ifpassed, on to Gov. Dixy Lee Ray's desk. The Senate Rules Committee is known for holding up bills. Asone legislative lobbyist puts it, "Senate Rules is the . graveyard of legislation." Now that the legislature isbusy with the several budget proposals, it is questionable whether they will even be acted upon.Questionable, that is, unless some pressure is put on the committee to get the bills to the Senate floor.This is where students can help. Simply by calling the legislative hotline, 1-800-562-6000 (toll free),students can urge their legislators to put pressure on the rules committee. It only takes a little time andenergy. These bills all should get a chance on the Senate floor. They've gone through what seems like an endless maze of committees in the House and Senate. To have them curl up and die in the rulescommittee would be a waste. Guest commentary Publishing important In a series of thoughtful articles,Beth Barrett has examined the relationship of teaching and publication to tenure and promotion. It is wellto remember the tenure qualifications defined in the 1969 Faculty Handbook: "Tenure should be granted to faculty members who possess such talent as scholars and teachers that the college can employ themfor the remainder of their academic careers." Similarly, for associate professor, the qualifications include " . . . strong evidence of high attainment in teaching, or research, or in other scholarly endeavor. Usually,accomplishment in more than one of these areas is expected." In the new version of the handbook thedual role of the professor as teacher and scholar is retained. There is a long and established tradition inthe academic world that a professor must be an active scholar as well as a competent teacher. Thequestion is more one of evaluation. How do we recognize a good teacher? What are the signs of an active scholar? We have a system of evaluating teaching although it is currently under review by a committee of the All-College Senate. Evaluation of scholarly activity is not easily refined to fit an evaluation form, butfaculty committees attempt to distinguish between the various types of activity, and recognize thatnot all scholarly activity results in publication. Nonetheless, in those fields where publication istraditionally the measure of the scholar, the committees look for publications in refereed journals asthe most obvious mark of success. In other fields different criteria are used but are agreed upon beforethe evaluation takes place. For example, an artist is expected to put on shows in centers where work iscritically evaluated; an accountant, to write for professional journals; a planner, to educate other plannersthrough symposia, and through distribution of work for critical review. Most faculty achieve the goals setby the academic community, remain professionally active, and become competent teachers. As Ireviewed the files of all those faculty who were applicants for tenure and promotion, I was impressed bythe high level of activity of the faculty at this institution. Faculty are publishing, performing, andcontributing to symposia at national meetings of learned and professional societies, while also gettinggood reviews of their teaching. The importance of scholarly activity is clearly recognized here. Problemsoccur only where faculty have ignored early warning signals. Annual evaluations will point to deficienciesin teaching and scholarship. If these warnings^ are ignored, promotions are delayed and tenure may bedenied. The faculty and administration at Western work together to maintain a high quality environment.Publication by faculty is an important element in our efforts but it is not the only factor and should not beover-estimated. — James Talbot Talbot is Vice President lor Academic Affairs and Provost.. Torn overporn First Amendment threatened JAMES TALBOT Larry Flynt and Al Goldstein publish smut. Somewill say that what they publish has no literary value whatsoever. This would be hard to prove otherwise.Yet, does anyone have the right to tell them they can't publish whatever they want to? Essentially, thisis the main question involved with the obscenity issue today. It amounts to a supreme test of our right tofreedom of speech, guaranteed under the First Amendment. Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, andGoldstein, publisher of Screw magazine, both face possible long jail sentences for obscenity-relatedconvictions. Their decisions are being appealed. Their convictions are a result of a 1973 a lt;M -Hoe.Juefo*? TCS ouer m 4/5/e 4 . "3 Supreme Court ruling which left obscenity regulation up to "communitystandards." The vagueness of this term has allowed such conservative cities as Wichita, Kan., forexample, to convict Goldstein. Goldstein and Flynt offer no excuses for the smut they are publishing.Both Screw and Hustler are known for their explicit crotch shots and unsophisticated sex stories. "Iwanted to talk about sex the way we talked about it on the farm, at the factory and in the Navy," Flyntsays. Goldstein, in an article in New York Times Magazine, is described as "being as offensive aspossible, as often as possible to as many people as possible." In a recent issue of Screw, he ran acartoon depicting the nine Justices of the Supreme Court having sex with animals, vegetables and miner-als. These same men might someday try his case. Offensive? Yes. Poor taste? Yes. But should anyone be jailed for being offensive and showing poor taste? Rolling Stone magazine Editor Jann Wenner saysno. "A guy is being jailed by a law promulgated by the Nixon Court," he says of Flynt. "It's an outrage.Since when has bad taste been a crime?" Apparently somebody thinks it should be. Flynt has beensentenced to 7 to 25 years for "pandering obscenity," Goldstein faces a possible 60 years in jail forsending obscene material through the mails. A frightening situation would face us if their conditions areupheld. Two men may go to jail for exercising their First Amendment rights. More importantly, the FirstAmendment would be severely damaged. The door would be open for censorship of true literary works.Regardless of their literary content, Hustler and Screw have a legitimate right to exist. It would be nice to let all the things labeled "good" exist, and all the things labeled "bad" not exist, but it's not that easy.With the First Amendment at stake, the bad has to be taken with the good. — John Nelson hoof-in-mouth Editor's Note: This is the second half of the Hoof-in-Mouth column on tenure and promotion. Inaddition to more specific tenure criteria, the Front also offers some ideas to enhance the system'sefficiency. First, all cluster college and departmental tenure and promotion committees should bedisbanded. They are a waste of personnel and time. Vice President for Academic Affairs James Talbotshould serve as a one-man committee since he, according to himself, must ultimately agree with all T P standards. Why expend energy on numerous committees (and the increased bureaucracy they cause) when one man can handle the job so efficiently? In addition, professors applying for tenure should lay afolio at Talbot's feet containing the following items: 1} Publication notices 2) Poor student evaluations 3)A short, philosophical poem praising the Olscamp administration and the quality of education. The Frontsuggests the poems be submitted to Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard or the Jeopardy editor for finalapproval. Once Talbot has granted tenure, a wondrous ceremony will ensue on the sidewalk in front ofOld Main. All campus administrators will line up in descending bureaucratic order, facing Old Main andwith their backs to the sidewalk. Talbot will stand at the top of the entrance stairs. The honoredprofessor, to the measured grandeur of "Pomp and Circumstance," will walk slowly up the sidewalk.Starting with the lowliest administrator, he will systematically kiss the central rear anatomy of eachbureaucrat. Once he has graced Olscamp with a peck, he will ascend Old Main's stairs and bow atTalbot's feet. Talbot will chant a prayer to the House Higher EducaUonCommitteo and then bless theprofessor in Latin: "Grantus tenurus!" The professor will arise with tears in his eyes and orate a copyof his longest published article. Professors who are denied tenure will be sent to a corrective institution,such as a community college, in hopes they eventually will see the errors of their ways. Praise be to the father (Olscamp), the son (Talbot) and the holy ghost (the spirit of readin', writin' and 'rithmetic.) —Greg Hoofnagle staff EDITOR; Greg Hoofaagle NEWS EDITOR: Bruce Hyland FEATURE EDITOR: LizVerdier PHOTO EDITOR: Bill Slater ARTS iENTERTAINMENT: Liz Rust SPORTS EDITOR: BruceStinshoff OPINION EDITOR: John Nelson HEAD COP?

One in four Americans will develop cancer in their lifetime and one in five will die from it. Ifyou happen to be living in a highly industrialized area, your chances are even greater of developingcancer, and if you happen to be a long-term asbestos insulation worker you have a 50 per cent chanceof dying of cancer. Instead of chastising the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for enacting theDelaney clause, we ought to thank them. The argument that the scientific data derived from animalresearch is invalid and is at best ignorant criticism. Every chemical known to be carcinogenic tohumans (with the exception of Trivalent Arsenic) is also carcinogenic to animals. Many chemicals now recognized as carcinogenic to humans were first identified by animal testing. Also, I believe theargument for administering large doses of potential carcinogenic material to test animals is valid.Industry has perpetuated the myths about such testing to minimize the significance of the effects ofhuman exposure to particular carcinogenic or toxic chemicals. If the sugar addicts want theirmethadone then let them buy it as a drug, but don't routinely expose innocent people to carcinogens.A recent Environmental Protection Agency study found Dieldrin in 80 per cent of the milk of nursingmothers nationwide. (Dieldrin is a known carcinogenic pesticide). We ought to be damn mad atindustry for polluting our environment for the sake of profits, at government for covering it up and at the press for blindly perpetuating myths about cancer and the safety of industrial products. This letteronly scratches the surface. Look around you: one, in five will die from cancer, and the rate is increasingannually. We have to start cleaning up somewhere! Pat Byrne Senior, Biology-Chemistry Editor,western Front: Kevin Raymond's opinion (Front, May 6) in regard to U.S. payments of war reparations to Vietnam is misleading and is inconsistent with the true facts. Raymond attempted to reason that theUnited States has a moral obligation to "heal the war wounds." Raymond states, "America forgetsquickly . . . the Vietnam nightmare is almost forgotten here," but what about the families of the 56,000 U.S. servicemen who were lost in the war? How fast will they forget? No, the moral argument is tooweak to be used as a negotiating crutch. Editorial policy Opinions expressed in Editorials are those ofThe Front Editor, and are not necessarily those of the college or student body. Similarly, opinionsexpressed in signed commentaries as well .as graphics and cartoons are those of the authors and notnecessarily this newspaper, the college or student body. Letters policy All letters to the editor must besigned. Letters longer than 250 words are subject to editing for condensation. The Front reserves the right to refuse any letter to the editor. A quick assessment of postwar events would be more appropriate.After United States withdrawl, North Vietnam completely disregarded the agreement initialed on Jan.23, 1973 by Le Dec The and Henry Kissinger. Within a year and a half, Communist forces had taken the country in direct conflict with the Paris Accords. North Vietnam kept no part of the agreement. Closeexamination shows that "in fact" the context of the agreement contains no requirement for the UnitedStates to pay any reparations to Vietnam. Why then, should the United States be obligated to payeven $1 in aid to Vietnam? As Henry Kissinger pointed out in a recent press conference, "U.S.economic aid priorities should be kept in alphabetical order."

Friday the 13th an unlucky day historically Fear of bad luck and troubles on Friday the 13th probably RESULTS FROM A COMBINATION OF TWO TRADITIONALSYMBOLS OF MISFORTUNE — Friday and the number 13 — according to Man, Myth Magicmagazine. Some unhappy events that occurred on Friday: Christ's crucifixion ("a day of fasting, fish-eating and general gloom") according to legend, the day Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit; the dayof the May 10, 1886, financial panic in London. "You should not start a new job, call in a doctor, movehouse, turn the mattress on a bed, begin a sea voyage or, if you are a criminal, come up for sentencingon Friday," tradition suggests, according to the magazine. Possible sources of superstitionssurrounding the number 13: 13 sat down to the Last Supper, the Romans associated 13 with death andmisfortune, 13 is one more than 12 — "a .number of completeness," 13 is the traditional number ofcoven of witches. Work-study offers summer jobs by JESSIE MILUG AN There is not an overabundance of jobs in Bellingham, but financial aid eligibility or a willingness to try manual labor-areattributes that may open doors when looking for work this summer. The summer work-study programprovides full-time work for students who are eligible for financial aid next fall, Cathy Dudik, coordinator for the Student Employment Center (SEC) said. Applications are still being accepted. Most work-study jobs are with public service non-profit organizations, particularly "summertime industries working with children, such as Whatcom County Parks Department, Bellingham Park Commission, theYMCA or the YWCA," Dudik said. These types of jobs can also be applied for through the SummerYouth Employment Program (SPEDY), 115 W. Magnolia. SPEDY has low-income eligibilityrequirements similar to the financial aid program here, except applicants must be 16-21 years old, Dudik said. "This is the time to look for a summer job," Susan Wolfe, interviewer at Employment Security,said. "Production increases this time of year. Construction, landscaping, canneries all step up. Kidsare going to be out of school and then there are tourists," Wolfe said. Bumblebee Cannery, Squali-cum Waterway, and Peter Pan Seafood, 207 Harris, begin hiring for the fishing season in late June and runthrough October, plant managers said. "We've put many people through college," Wes Fahls-trom,Bumblebee manager, said. Both canneries have wages starting at approximately $4 an hour and bothmanagers said work includes cleaning or unloading fish and production-related work aroundmachines. Janitorial work and retail sales are also in demand here, Betty Willert, of EvergreenEmployment Center, said. The center, 119 Broadway, does place clients in part-time and full-timesummer work, Willert said. Both Wolfe and Dudik said berry picking in the area could provideopportunities for students needing extra cash this summer. Employment counselors say job huntingwill take a lot of initiative. "It is important to be there when the job opens. Employers don't necessarilykeep applications on file because people are continually coming in to check," Wolfe said.

Lade, who also had apowerful voice, led the stable men's chorus in what became the "show stopper," "Blow High, Blow Low."The choreography and dance performances were the strongest point of the production, with beautiful,graceful performances given by many dancers. Louisa Ward, who played Billy and Julie's daughter,Louise, performed with great form in the beach ballet, with the help of dancers David Berkey, Nora Martin, Jody Mallahan and Dan Weber. Another traditional high point of the show, "You'll Never Walk Alone,"was performed with the serenity and quiet power it deserves, by Martha- Benedict, who played NettieFowler. Benedict's performance probably left many tearful eyes in the audience. Dennis Catrell, of thetheatre and dance department, gave an unusual, humorous and believable performance as Enoch Snow.Catrell played the role with a slight modesty, which was a pleasant contrast to the overbearing treatment it has received from other actors. Joining Catrell was Charlotte Mickelson, who played Carrie Pipperidge. Together, the two successfully provided the necessary humorous aspects of the otherwise heavy-hearted play. Three other performances of note were turned in by James A. Korski, of the theatre and dancedepartment, who played the Starkeeper; Randy J. Karl, who played the Heavenly Friend, and Giuli EtteCasciopoppo, who played the scheming Mrs. Mullin. All three roles were strictly dramatic and wereplayed convincingly. A slightly slow beginning and a slowness in two full-cast numbers, — "A Real Nice Clambake" and "June is Bustin' Out All Over" — were the only drawbacks to the production. Timingseemed to be the trouble here, as a lot of people moving around on stage produced a somewhat clumsyeffect. As usual, the theatre and dance department created imaginative sets and costumes. Althoughnot overly elaborate, they fit the New England setting. Understudies for the roles of Billy and Julie areSteve Deines, student, and Ruth Pratt, of the speech department. Deines played his role oppositeMcCauley in the Thursday performance, Pratt will play opposite McKinney in tonight's performance.The cast encored with a reprise of an upbeat song, "June is Bustin' Out All Over," which was fortunate. In the midst of the emotion this play left, a gay note was needed.

"The Bay area is one of the most exciting centers for classical guitar in the world,"Patterson said, but he doesn't plan to move back in the near future. Patterson said he finds theNorthwest a "healthy place to be." Not only does the natural beauty of this area appeal to the hermitstreak in him (he lives in a house outside Bellingham which has neither electricity nor hot water), but hefinds it useful to him as a musician. Trees make useful conductors of sound and allow him to hear hisown music far better than he could in a city atmosphere, he said. The quiet fc H atmosphere alsoscreens him from disrupts noises from the outside, which allows him concentrate on his art. WatchingPatterson play his instrument is tender experience in itself. He has an unspok language with the guitarthat conveys his love it.' Patterson is a busy individual. He instructs well as performs. He will receive hisMaster degree in performance in a few. weeks recently performed his graduate recital at th WhatcomMuseum of History and Art. Although classical guitar is his standar instrument, he plays baroque guitaras well. Th baroque differs from the classical instrument that it is smaller and is equipped with 10 stringIts tone is lighter and more intimate than that the more familiar instrument. He sees Bellingham as "being a fruitful aret full of potential, which can become a garden or garbage dump." He and his talent will stay t push the city towards the former.

Patty Tork and Joanne Kautz are competing with eight other women for the title of MissWhatcom County, to be named at this year's Blossomtime pageant May 19. The winner will receive a$500 scholarship and represent Whatcom County at various events throughout the state, including nextyear's Miss Washington pageant. The contestants will be judged primarily on talent and appearance.Tork plans to do a jazz-dance to "I'm Gonna Fly Now," the theme form the movie "Rocky," for the talentcompetition. She is originally from Morgantown, W.Va., and moved here after attending the University ofUtah last year. She is a sophomore at Western, majoring in dance. Krautz is from Seattle, and running in her second pageant. She ran unsuccessfully for Miss Des Moines, Wash, three years ago. Kautz is ajunior majoring in music, and a resident aide at Alpha. She plans to play "Rhapsody in Blue" on thepiano, in the talent competition. In an interview Tuesday, both, said that running has been a goodopportunity to get to know the Bellingham area better, and meet more people in the community. Torksaid she is running because of the scholarship, and pointed out that it is technically a scholarshippageant. Kautz said she is also running because of the scholarship, and because it is an opportunity toplay piano in front of an audience. The contestants have been meeting for the past nine weeks, inpreparation for the pageant. Tork explained, "They (the people running the pageant) teach us how to walk, talk and sit." Being in the pageant is fun, they both said, but they expressed displeasure in the publicappearances they have made as a group. Tork commented, "They have us show our faces and getout." Kautz added, "Sometimes you feel like a herd of cattle . . . we never get invited to lunch, we're justherded in, looked at and herded out." They said they like working with the people involved. Kautz said, "Itis hard trying to keep jealousy and pride under control, but when you forget the competition the peopleare great." In response to those who criticize beauty pageants as sexist Tork said, "The beauty partdepends a lot on how you take care of yourself." Kautz said, "I have the right to assume any role in life Iwish." Bob Stevens, the executive director of the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce, said this is the first time in many years non-high schoolgirls have been allowed to run. He said this was to give the pageanta "more mature air." Kautz said she would like to see more Western women compete in the future. Alsorunning are: Kim Curtis, Sehome High; Gina Folsom, Bellingham Tech. School; Lisa Fladd, BellinghamHigh; Diane Hardin, Nooksack Valley High; Leanne Dwight, Meridian High; Laura Sibillia, Blaine High;Lori Lagerway, Lynden and Stacey Provias, a Sehome graduate. Two runners-up will each receive $250scholarships. The pageant will be held at 8 p.m. at Bellingham High School. Admission is $2.00 foradults, $1.00 for students.

Six other Western students (who wish toremain anonymous), and I went by boat to the waters off Sucia Island (about 15 miles west ofBellingham) in search of the not-so-elusive cod. We were specifically after rock cod and ling cod. Rockcod are short, round, spiney, have large bulging eyes and are generally ugly. Ling cod are long, slender,slimy, large-headed and tend to get uglier as they get bigger. Both are found in deep water, near rocksand near the bottom. Cod fishing requires very little patience, and practically no skill, a perfectdescription of our crew. We sent our "rigs" (fishing jargon) consisting of herring or smelt bait (chickenbones have been known to work) on two large hooks, with a large weight, to the bottom. Once our lineshad reached bottom, we jerked them up and down to attract the fish. Less than 15 seconds after my linetouched bottom, I hooked a fish. At the same time, two others had hooked the bottom, and were trying to pull the plug on Puget Sound. They had found the foremost danger in cod fishing — rocks that reachout and grab your line. By the time I had brought in my fish — a rock cod r~ and the others had theirnow hookless lines in, we had drifted out of the fishing area. We drive the boat back to the original spotand dropped anchor. During the next couple hours we caught several fish at this spot and did have oneexciting moment. I caught a 20 pound ling cod. This fish exemplified the greediness of cod. I hadoriginally hooked a small rock cod, but the ling swallowed it, and held on. After a brilliant(?) display offishing skills, I brought the ugly thing to the surface, where it was gaffed and hauled into the boat. After a severe beating with the handle of the gaff-hook, the ling spit out the smaller cod which left me with adouble catch. - The remainder of the afternoon was spent fishing at Parkers Reef, (off Orcas Island) andin the waters off Matia Island. By the end of the day, we had caught 16 cod and one rock which wedetermined to be sandstone. In addition to the fish, Mother Nature provided us with numerous ups anddowns. Occasionally, a couple of our crew members felt momentarily compelled to donate their half-digested lunch to the local marine life. After our trip, we prepared the fish for eating. We filleted the fish(some still alive) by making a slit along the gills, and running a knife along the backbone. After separating the skin from the meat, we were left with the best fish for fish 'n ships the sea has to offer. scoreboardSchedule Golf May 13 Women's Tennis — Northern- Eastern District Tournament at Pacific LutheranUniversity Men's Tennis — Evergreen Conference Meet at Southern Oregon State College, AshlandWomen's Track — NCWSA Regional Meet at University of Washington May 14 Women's Tennis — Northern- Eastern District Tournament at Pacific Lutheran University Men's Tennis — EvergreenConference Meet at SOSC Women's Track — Regionals at UW Lacrosse — University of Washington Lacrosse Club at UW Rugby — ; -Aside ment, Burnaby May 15 Lacrosse — Boeing Club atUniversity Sound NAIA District I at Spanaway May 9-10 Team Scores — Western 779; Simon Fraser795; Central 800; Eastern 801; Pacific Lutheran University 804; Whitman 818; Whitworth 828.

But she ure can throw one. Her West-irn schoolrecord of 149-1 is 19 eet over the national qualifying aark of 130-0. She has been in track ever incejunior high, and had own the discus before :hanging to the javelin. For raining, Reimer sprinted, limbedstairs and swung base-tall bats because her high chool didn't have weights. As a freshman at Westernast year, Reimer had a best of 34-0. She went to nationals but dn't make the finals. This ear she doesn'tknow how she tands among others and does tot have any idea what place she could get at nationals.Reimer usually trains four days a week. Monday, she does sprints and throws. Tuesday and Thursday,she lifts weights. She does arm curls, leg presses, hamstring curls and various other exercises.Wednesday is a lot like Monday, except she throws harder, and sometimes all out. On throwing days, Reimer said, "I work on my speed and technique. I practice following through and bringing the javelinall the way back. I need to use my whole body to get my best throw." Beth Barrett gives a bit ofincentive to Reimer. Barrett also qualified for nationals in the javelin with a throw of 136-0. She is theonly other person to qualify for nationals on the women's track team. Reimer makes the javelin a priority during the season, but does not train during the off season. "If I trained more it would help. I had a latestart this season. I played basketball on the junior varsity this winter and play softball in the summer.Maybe next year I will train the year around," Reimer said. "Before a track meet, I think about mygoals," Reimer said. She will have an excellent opportunity to surpass those goals at nationals, May 19-21, at the University of California at Los Angeles. The finish of an odyssey o NOTE: This is the secondand last part of the evin Charles Hitchhiking story. At the end of le last segment, Charles and his sidekick, the iano Man, arrived at Moses Lake, the sister city f Purgatory. by KEVIN CHARLES We hadtaken the last ride with these rangers and it was beginning to look like we ad indeed taken the Last Ride. They hadn't quipped us with cement overshoes and dropped 's in the river, but after an hour in MosesLake, ve were beginning to wish they had. The first Irregular Western Front Mainline \drenalin Marathonfor Hitchhiking was eight lours old and showing signs of birth defects. The only thing biblical about Moses Lake is the mount of religious faith it takes to hitchhike out. loads run conveniently in all compass direc-ons, as do the drivers, straight, speedily, and nstoppably. he only thing biblical about Moses .ake is the amount of religious faith it akes to hitchhike out. An automotive catalogue could be filled with he carsthat passed us by. Pick-ups, sedans, ports cars, Jeeps, stationwagons and vans all ad one answer toour thumbs-up plea: cceleration. After three hours of this, the Piano Man began react helpfully to ourproblem. "Oh man, we've got to get out of here!" "Great thought, how do we do it?" "Oh man, we've got to get out of here!" I persuaded my partner to come out of the oad, frustrating his kamikaze instinct. Weleaded for the truckstop across the freeway. Any consideration of Moses Lake as a vacation pot ended,inside the truckstop restaurant. The vhite-on-white patrons gave us the quiet looks of listaste usuallydrawn by Mongols on their way a beer-blast with the horde. My long hair and he Piano Man's skin colorweren't smash hits in his town. At our request, we received service, though mietly, rude, and inexactdirections to the bus tation. Discomforted, we went back to the oadside. "We're gonna get out of here."The Piano itfan's voice had dipped into hysteria. "It's okay," I assured him. "If we don't get a ide within an hour, we'll leave." By that time, ve'd probably be arrested. Stranded one short hitch from Spokane, in aillage resembling the leavings of a cattle drive, decided upon a cowpuncher's solution, foisting our packs,we stumbled eastward oward the deeper darkness and our destination. Something scurried with us as we strode along he road beside the freeway. "Piano Man, there's something moving over here." "Right,next thing you're gonna be telling me ou're seeing snakes." We arrived at the next intersection uneaten. It melled of cow manure, and was equipped with a w stationary tumbleweeds. In a few years, we redicted, it would be a whole lot like Moses ake. The desert mice got another thrill as we hiked le three milesback to Moses Lake. The shift had hanged at the truckstop eatery as we went back and struck death-like poses. Different, younger waitresses poured the coffee. They gave us sympathetic advice, having beentrapped in Moses Lake longer than we. Still enshackled by our luck, we reeled out to the roadside again. A trio of state patrol cars were parked fender to fender in a deserted gas station. Within their sight, thePiano Man and I were about to become the accomplices of a wanted criminal. He swung out of thetruckstop and then braked as he saw us. His Japanese pickup was filled with blankets and children'stoys. "Yeah, I know what a bitch it is to be stuck in this town," he said, shifting his domestic cargo. "Ijust ripped off a guy for $300. Sucker was cheating me blind," he said. The criminal's name was Bill. Hehad spent the day working at a carnival and made off with the day's proceeds. He was helping his ex-wife move to Spokane. The state patrol had two warrants for his arrest. His ex-wife, her girl friend and he had stopped for coffee at the truck stop where he stole $10 from the cashier. Gratefully, we became part ofhis get-away. "I probably shouldn't be telling you guys this," Bill said. The caravan stopped at anothertruckstop on the eastside of Spokane. Bill bought us coffee and he was soon in motion again. By now,the police will have caught up with him. Bill gave the impression of a luckless, though enterprisingoutlaw. The truckstop in Spokane was bigger and just as'depressing as its cousin in Moses Lake. About 50 trucks slept standing up with their drivers inside. Soon we learned the truckers weren't obliged tohurry, or in some cases, even arise on Sundays. Just as quickly, we surmised that Spokane on theSabbath has all the bustle of a petrified forest. Desperate again, we stupidly accepted the first ride offered to us. Our benefactor dropped us off in the middle of the freeway. Sunrise struck as we hiked back to the truckstop along Nixon Avenue. Thirty minutes later, we abandoned the truckstop and began walkingagain. Still later that morning, the Piano Man had led us to a Denny's while I scouted the area for apromising freeway entrance. I selected the on-ramp for our last stand and we went inside to fortifyourselves. . . . the Piano Man and I were about to become the accomplices of a wanted criminal. Thethree customers already there were laughing as we sat down. They listened to our account of our mileage and self-destruction. Finally, one of them offered us the passenger section of his Honda Civic. The driver was a graduate student in geology, a sacreligious pagan-barbarian (Lodge 362) and very good company.•* -V gt; We drove back through the North Cascades on Highway 20, viewing the coming ecologicaldisaster. Eyery lake and reservoir we saw had high, dry banks and very low water. The Marathon endedat our doorstep where our barbaric friend dropped us in a heap. I was 36 hours older and my body was700 miles more traveled. Some day I might again set out after a new record, but I don't think so. Justthinking about it makes my frayed brain weary.

No. "Austin Harley and I arrived in Seattle at 6:30 a.m.,Saturday, February 19, 1977. We took our positions along Avenue of the Cascades, precisely where theRainiers would appear at the height of their run-through. Some old-time tavern guzzlers tried to push usback among the green-beers, but we held our ground. (Pic A) Then the Rainiers arrived in a rush, and itwas too late to do anything but run.with them. Austin (at X) had his camera along, but he quickly realizedthe inadvisability of stopping to snap pictures. I grasped the traditional long-cup (marked by Y) to catchany Mountain Fresh run-offen route. (Pic B) The groves of academe certainly proved tame by comparison.Almost immediately, some other bottles moved in behind us — their apparent intention to "cap" a few ofthe spectators along one wall. Austin (again at X) began to show signs of worry, but I was too busyascertaining that one cannot run well backwards. (Pic C) Then we were in the thick of it. While Austinpeered down the neck of 90 gallons on the hoof, I searched for a way out. But as my Philosophy ofEngineering 201 professor was wont to say, "A man's reach must exceed his grasp, or what's a machinefor?" (Pic D) One second after this, we both went under. Getting sloshed, however, really wasn't as I hadanticipated. It seems that Rainiers really are fresh and friendly. I suppose if Austin and I were to visit theNorthwest a second time, we might choose to run again. Since our return to Princeton, our fellowstudents have persisted in asking us to explain the Running of the Rainiers — the fascination of man and liquid beast for this annual spring occurrence. In all honesty, I have no theory beyond the apparentnatural affinity of the Rainiers and their beer aficionados!' -Hamilton R. McMillan, Class of 77 j Whatmakes the Rainiers run?

"Effectively, we didn't have any goals," Higgin-son said. "We all knew we were there to serve the students, but somehow everyone there had a different view ofwhat the board of directors should do." According to the Viking Union Finance Office, the AS collected$224,016.60 this year from tuition. Of this, Higginson received $1,250 and AS Vice President Hugh Larkin received $625. Other board members do not receive salaries. Proposals brought up at the beginning ofthe year were not acted on until much later in the year. Examples of these are the AS by-laws revisionbrought up at the second board meeting and not acted on until late winter quarter, and the AS salaryincrease brought up at the first board meeting and not acted upon until the third meeting winter quarter."We were either not dealing with things or tabling them," Higginson said. According to board membersSue Hirchert, Stephen Barrett, Jeff Larsen, Marilee Fosbre and Kay Burke, this pattern of hesitancy inacting on agenda items persisted throughout the year. Higginson disagrees. "I admit fall quarter I wasnot chairing the meetings effectively, but I changed in good faith and feel I was doing a good job,"Higginson said. "I think if you ask any of the board members they would agree that I functioned the wayan efficient chairperson should." "AT THE FIRST of the year Carla (Higginson) did not have themanagerial skills to be president," Larsen said. "She did not become more efficient at chairing themeetings." Larsen admitted he and Barrett had been assuming the presidential duties. "Barrett and Ihave been policy writing and soliciting information since the beginning of winter quarter," Larsen said."That's what the president should be doing." "Carla (Higginson) wasn't around, I don't know why, I didn'task her; but I am not one to talk because I wasn't around either," Larkin said. "I got more involved withthe bookstore than my job required and besides I didn't have an office." Higginson too, admitted that as apresident she had been circumvented by other board members. "It wasn't due to my lack of initiative theytook over," she said. "The AS president doesn't have a lot of power. Out of necessity I had to step down." - On April 2, 1975, Larsen gave Higginson an ultimatum with a majority of the board's approval. "We'dbeen working around her (Higginson) for six or seven months; something had to be said and done. I toldher to either shape up or ship out," Larsen said. The ultimatum was based on a series of accusationsincluding mis-use of travel funds, refusal to recognize board members during meetings, failure to meetwith the advisor when requested to do so, failure to maintain scheduled office hours and emotionaloutbursts and personal attacks directed at board members from the chair. - "Never, never in the meetings were personal attacks directed toward board members," Higginson said. "I've never refused torecognize board members," and it's "absolutely and completely untrue that I did not maintain my officehours; I was there every day," she said. Higginson also denied all other accusations. According toShahin Farvan, at-large member, the blame for the board's inefficiency this year is not the fault of oneperson. "It's a mixed up personal conflict. They (board members) don't know that when it comes tobusiness, they should leave their personal feelings out. Some of the board members are very immature,they're holding personal grudges," he said. "That's why our agendas are continually postponed." CARLAHIGGINSON "It's a fact the board took sides a few times and Carla (Higginson) just happened to be onthe other side," Larkin said. "People didn't use tact in handling other people." The students that wereelected this year were perhaps not the best students to accomplish student needs," Hirchert said. "If our elected students are aware that what they do and say is made public they act more efficiently This iswhy the Western Front should have given us more coverage this year," Hirchert continued. Barrett, thenewly elected AS president summed up this year's board's effectiveness. "This competes with one of theworst years the AS has ever had." AS uses code to solve communication problems IWMMISniTC.mv.«m,. .... . . . _ J *u„*. „»« I HERE'S WHERE THE GOING GETS ROUGH - Last Thursdayafternoon, members of Huxley's guerrilla theater did an outdoor skit on campus, poking fun at the K-2expedition. These two members are making their imaginary descent along the "pass" that leads to the"mountain—K3," technically it's the sculpture "For ——-—~— : - DENNIS RITCHIE AFTER ATHREE year experiment, the Associated Student government is facing an identity crisis. Moves are being made by next year's AS officers, with help from present members, in an attempt to alleviate theproblems. In the three years that the AS has been legally a corporation and not a student government, ithas had problems with its system of a Board of Directors and various councils under the board.Problems have arisen during all three years between the AS president, who is also chairperson of theboard, and the board members. The identity problem, according to next year's AS president, SteveBarrett, is "The AS is a student government using a corporation model. A board, under the corporationmodel, oversees management but not necessarily day-to-day operations." The reorganization planswhich are being discussed will be worked on during the summer before a public hearing and a studentvote on the changes will be this fall. The plans deal with setting goals, accountability of councils andbetter lines of communication.' These plans will be part of a written policy that, according to Barrett, willbe a definite operating code. The code would deal with hiring and employment practices and staffing ofvarious college committees which are presently done through word of mouth. THIS WRITTEN CODE willspecify the lines of communication between the councils and the board. Barrett warned, "We should have preliminary budget proposals and post-budget checks to see if any abuses occurred. Abuses happen ifthere is no control or accountability." The present system doesn't require that account- "Things are being done that are not even approved at the council level. If no one questions a decision, it'll just happen thatway." One of the most wide-ranging proposals that may be considered is a change from the presentcorporate structure. One suggestion would have the board handling corporate board matters while a newcouncil would replace the board in handling student government matters. Another alternative would havethe AS board made up of representatives of the several AS councils. Jeff Larsen, an outgoing AS boardmember involved in reorganization planning, said there could be problems with that proposal. "Themembers could have great expertise but they may not be considered 'representative' because they arenot elected by the students." SEVERAL PEOPLE MENTIONED problems of expertise with the presentmethod of some members elected to sit on the board and also on a council while some board memberssit in at-large positions with no specified responsibilities. Under his leadership, board members will beexpected to specialize in some field. Barrett said. However, he admitted there would be no concretemethod of requiring specialization. AS advisor Kay Burke pointed out that history supported the wisdomof specialization. She said, "In every board, the people who are dealing with something else are the mosteffective." Some organization proposals have already been approved. In passing new by-laws severalweeks ago, the board created a new position of second vice president. This would be filled by thechairperson of the student caucus of the All-College Senate. Hirchert explained the new vice president,who will be elected next fall, would deal with academic matters that involve the Associated Students and the senate. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, June 3,1975 More students, less faculty cause Western worries LIZ RUSTMOST DEPARTMENTS at Western are suffering from a serious case of faculty malnutrition. Andalthough the state legislature has not made a decision on faculty formula, an increase in the budget fornext year looks doubtful, according to James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Threeweeks ago, Western's six deans expressed a need for a total of nine more Full-Time Equivalency (FTE)positions to meet minimal staffing requirements next year, while only six are expected to be available.Due to legislative cutbacks in funding Western suffered two years, all departments have been operatingon 15 per cent budget cuts, Davis said. This has caused serious problems throughout the campus. "It isa matter of survival for three quarters of the departments on campus," R.E. Stannard, chairman of thejournalism program said. "Without more faculty, they are confined." Stannard said the journalism program is "holding down the staff to the faculty level we had when we had one-half the number of students on the .program that we have now." The program has four faculty members for next year, where it needs six tomeet the current level of demand, he added. According to Pat Friedland, director of the recreationprogram, that program is also in need of more staff. For the 220 recreation majors, there MUSICALCLASSROOM CHAIRS? are currently only two full-time faculty members. "We need four to go aheadwith the spring program for next year," she said. "This year we managed but next year we can't."Friedland said the demand for the spring program is so great that next year's has already been filled."THE COLLEGE WILL just have to make a decision about whether or not they want to keep theprogram," she said. In the past two years the number of students in the biology department hasincreased from 50 to 250 and the faculty has been cut from 20 to 14.5, according to department headClyde Senger. The increased enrollment is due largely to the great influx of pre-med majors, he said. But because of limited facilities and inadequate staff, the biology department may have to consider "turningoff the (pre-med) program" by discouraging pre-med students from attending Western. Louis Barrett,chairman of the physics department, said, "With the present staffing we can't give the necessarycourses." Although lack of faculty is the most serious problem, the physics department is also indesperate.need of new equipment. "Technological advances require it," Barrett said. A new planetariumis one of the facilities the department would like to acquire. But, according to Barrett, there is less than a 50-50 chance of receiving it. The legislature is expected to make some kind of a decision regardingWestern's financial fate sometime this week. Meanwhile the college, which must make plans, waits. ASoffers funds for transit, awaits city decision BECKY FOX THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS is the firstgroup to commit funds for a proposed free college-city transit system organized by Judy Simmer, director of Rape Relief. A similar commitment from the city may be harder to come by. The AS ear-markedabout $700 from next year's budget for the proposal which calls for a 15-person van to run from theBellingham mall through campus to Holly Street at no cost. The van would run every half hour from 7 to11 p.m. seven days a week during fall quarter on a trial basis. Simmer is asking the AS to pay the costof the gas and oil, the city to pay for the driver's salary and the college to pay for the vehicle. This month, the proposal was heard by the Bellingham City Council's Public Safety Committee. That three-mancommittee requested more information from Simmer and, upon receival of the information, voted it beheard before the council on either June 9 or 23. John Herrman, chairperson of the committee, stronglysupports the proposal but doesn't predict any easy time in the council. "I think it offers something weshould be offering within the city," he said. "But I bet it doesn't go through the council. Basically, what itboils down to is a difference in philosophy and a split between the old and new members of the council."These people (old members) just really refuse to do anything that supports the college or the hippycommunity — anything that is not for an old entrenched group." DENNIS BRADDOCK, president of thecity council and member of the Public Safety Committee, also favors the transit system. Braddockwants careful preparation and concrete facts before it is considered by the council. "It will be close butnot unanimous," he said. "The problem with this is it will require a majority-plus-one vote because themoney will come from reserve funds. We'd like to get as much information and support as possible before it comes to the floor because it won't be easy to get it through." Simmer was pleased with theproposal's reception in the committee. "It got pretty good response but I am disappointed that the thirdmember wasn't as enthusiastic, especially since he is a college employee," she said. Stuart Litzsingeris the third member. He has his doubts as to the city's financing a private group. "Personally, I don't seehow the city can finance it," he said, "because as soon as we do it, some other group will come alongand say, 'if you did it for them, why don't you do it for us?' " Herrman agrees this may happen but wouldlike to try it. "Sure it can grow," he said, "but this isn't a drawback. It can't get way out of hand unlessthere is a need out there. Maybe we should be listening to those needs." DESPITE THE APPARENTsplit in the Public Safety Committee, the real test will be in the Council. Simmer is optimistic of theproposal's future and is now working on the gathering of information and commitments. Simmer, whoused to teach at Western,.said she wanted to do something, over and above the usual, to help alleviatewomen's fears of walking at night. In this respect, she said, the proposal is part'of Rape Relief. But thefree transit would be open to anyone. Keith Guy, director of residence hall programs, is working on thevehicle side of the proposal. The college now owns two vans but it would be difficult to get these, he said, as they are already heavily used for student groups. Guy appeared before the college's parking andtransportation committee last week, but is still waiting for more specific information from Simmer. Thecollege may, should it commit itself, lease a van from an outside agency. If the transit system isimplemented, a tally will be taken fall quarter to see how much it is used. Then a decision might be made by the city and college about funding it as a permanent service. Student publications council picks neweditors GREG COHEN As Western shifts gears in preparation for a new man at the helm, the WesternFront and Klipsun are also looking ahead to new leadership. Greg Cohen, a senior in journalism, hasbeen selected by the Student Publications Council for the summer quarter editorship of the Front.Cohen said that features will be a big part of the summer quarter Front, to "keep the paper lively andclose to what the people in the environment are like during the summer." "Summer quarter is unique" he said, "It's an enthusiastic quarter, and I hope to be able to reflect this enthusiasm in the Front." DennisRitchie, journalism major, was selected for his "second time around" as fall quarter Front editor. "I wantto expand and concentrate on issues, perhaps some of the heavier problems we usually shy awayfrom," Ritchie said. He said he hoped the Front would be able to relate complex governmental issues tothe students on campus, and to person-ize them with the help of "issue pages" where writers on andoff the staff could document the pros and cons of a particular issue. Cheating, promotions and "publishor perish" are some of the topics he hopes to cover. Ritchie said he will "try to present the news from the consumers' point of view." Klipsun's fall quarter editor will be Vincent Hagel, English major. "I hopeto make Klipsun a more experimental publica tion," he said, "both in substance and form." Hagel saidthe Fall Quarter Klipsun will deal with contemporary issues, "things that effect everyone on campus."He stressed that since it is a student publication, anyone on campus will be encouraged to § submitmaterial for use in the $1 magazine. *fe Vincent Hagel, Klipsun editor, ^ unavailable for picture. DENNISRITCHIE ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, June 3,1975 Western Front 3 The call of the wild, or from journalist to jumper CO UNDERCOLORED CANOPIES - Three experienced parachutists float across the skies of Whatcom County atNorthwest Aerosports near Ferndale. From top to bottom: Jack Massey, Jack Fader and Jack Hanssen.SCOTT JOHNSON "I NEED SOMEONE crazy enough to jump out of an airplane," the editor said. "To do what?" I volunteered. "To jump out of an airplane/' she said. So last week, under the watchful eyes ofKen Eskeback, instructor for Northwest School of Parachuting, I learned first-hand why anyone wouldjump out of a perfectly good airplane. I don't know why I did, but Eskeback kept saying there was a much better chance the chute would open than not, so I did. The instruction period seems unreasonably short to the uninitiated, but after five hours of class I was ready to go up and try the real thing. Like manysports, parachuting is easy as long as everything goes well, but I had to learn what to do if somethingwent wrong. If nothing went wrong, there was nothing to do — except jump 3,000 feet down. Nothingcould go wrong, they told me. As I would leave the plane, a 10-foot cord would pull out my parachute. Ifeverything worked right, I would fall about 138 feet in three seconds as the parachute opened. If I felllonger than six seconds, Eskeback said, I should "cut loose" from a partially opened main chute. As itfell away it would pull open my reserve chute, he said. And if all else fails, he said pointing to a little boxon the reserve chute, this will automatically open the reserve at 1,000 feet if you are still falling too fast.That, he said, was in case I was unconscious or too scared to move. WITH THOUGHTS of how long they would talk about death, I got eagerly into the plane and was ready to take-off. We had been through it all on the ground — it was easy. On command, I would sit in the door. Just like on the ground. Oncommand, I would climb out and hang from a wing-strut. Just like on the ground. He said go. I went. Justlike on the ground. And fear wrapped its cold hands around my chest. I fixated on the ground and forgoteverything they told me. All I felt was a sickening feeling of falling, like I had never felt before. As soon asI let go, I wondered, why did I do that? As I stared at the ground, I fell and fell and wondered when itwould stop. I had forgotten about the parachute when it shook me back to reality, like being awakenedfrom a dream. "Oh yeah," I thought, "there was something I was supposed to do." So I went carefully over what they had told me. Then finally I remembered, "Oh hey, make sure the parachute is there." So I did, and it was. Then I looked around below me at the beautiful land of north Whatcom county. "Now what?Oh yes. Steer down." I followed the man on the ground pointing the big arrow which told me which way to go to hit any of four fields. This way, that way, turn around. Suddenly I looked straight down. Right below me was the ditch and brambles between two fields. The ground came rushing up and I shut my eyesand slammed both feet through the brush and into the mud. THE SHALLOW water that filled the ditch ran slowly into my boots and I shuddered as I realized I was alright. "It's almost impossible to steersomeone into the ditch on purpose," Eskeback had told me. I remember thinking somebody had done apretty good job. Eskeback estimates he has probably taught 500 people to make their first parachutejump in the last three years. "Probably less than 10 per cent of those have stayed with the sport," hesaid. "I think most of them try it because they've heard it is something fun to do, or they do it to provesomething to themselves." "Mostly I guess people either think we're crazy or they kind of look up to usfor having the guts.to do it," he said. "But the people who stay with it are here because they like tojump." .Eskeback, who has been teaching at the Ferndale center for three years, said there were anestimated 2 million parachute jumps made last year. Each year, he said, there are an average of 40accidental deaths, or one in every 50,000 jumps. Most are due to drowning or landing on powerlines.Eskeback teaches a class each Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Bellingham Airport. The cost of the first jumpis $45, or $40 for groups of six or more. "But anyone is welcome to come to the class," Eskeback said."We will have a movie which anyone can see. It might help them decide if parachuting is what they wantto do." READY FOR THE BIG FALL - What is he thinking as he prepares to plunge from an airplane,3000 feet above the ground, for the first time? DOWN AT LAST - Untangling himself from the briars, ScottJohnson says, "They say every landing you can walk away from is a good one' — even if you have toclimb out of a hole first to do it." RIGHT ON TARGET - Making his 74th jump, Jack Hanssen shows howto do it right, as he lands within the target circle. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, June 3,1975 ST*?! ,t! .sm.il .v.sbaouT AS needs reorganization 77ie /IS Board o/ Directors, like any efficient organization, must be specifically defined and aware of its obligations.Western's is not. First off, the Associated Students has no goals. There are none present in the by-laws, just revised by the present board for the first time in recent years. The by-laws say the AS shall enhance educational and recreational activities for students, and they shall provide services and activities forthe mutual assistance and benefit of the students. They also say the AS should represent all thestudents on campus for the college and the community. But all this says little or nothing and the entiresystem reek of vagueness. Next are the requirements for holding office. Virtually, there are none except to be a full-time student in good academic standing, and the president, in addition, must havecompleted two'calendar quarters of college work, only one of which has to be at Western. Theproblems most elected officials find when they assume office at Western is they don't know how thecommittee system functions, they're not familiar with the past policies of the councils they represent,they don't understand basic parliamentary procedure and, because the by-laws aren't specific, they're not sure what it is they're supposed to be doing. Most times, because of elected responsibilities andscholastic activities, there is no time to become familiar with these systems. Workshops for instruction,understanding and advice would be meaningful. To date there are none routinely planned for newlyelected AS officials. The entire process is lashed together spring quarter with a majority vote andsomehow expected to hang together and function effectively for an entire year afterwards. The AS needsobservation and input from both the public and the press. They must be continually confronted andquestioned. They need to know their effectiveness is not taken tor granted and that someone outthere cares what is going on. They should have unedited minutes of board meetings so there is a clearand precise public record available to anyone who is interested. They need a strong advisor — one who is capable of sound governing advise. One who can see a problem approaching and do something aboutit. One with enough credibility and authority that when suggestions are made they are givenconsideration and credence. Until the present system can be pulled together in an organized fashionand reconstructed until it becomes effective as a governing body, the AS board is useless. It is only a$224,000 operation that allows those elected to play politics, poorly at that, for one year. — Connie Tedrow Cluster colleges undersold The relationship between Western's cluster colleges and the CoUege ofArts and Sciences is in need of repair. Two of the cluster colleges, Huxley and Ethnic Studies, weredeveloped out of the current need for education in environmental sciences and ethnicity in society . . .two issues very important to today's students and tomorrow's teachers, parents, employers andsociety as a whole. But the full effectiveness of the cluster colleges is not being attained. Because of the colleges' lack of integration with the College of Arts and Sciences, not all Western students are gettingthis necessary education. Because cluster college credits are not accepted as general collegerequirement credits at the college of Arts and Sciences, most Arts and sciences students arediscouraged from taking cluster college courses. The only students benefiting from the cluster collegesare those with majors and minors in them. These students are already aware of the issues dealt with bythe cluster colleges. Many students will leave Western with no knowledge of the problems involving theenvironment and ethnicity. This situation typifies the relationship between the cluster colleges and theCollege of Arts and Sciences, both of which seem to be working in opposite directions. One reason whymany people of the College of Arts and sciences claim the College of Ethnic Studies is keeping a low-profile is because cluster colleges have been played down and pushed into a dark corner. Because ofimproper coordination of their curriculums, the cluster colleges' potentials are not being reached. What is needed is a definition of the roles and interrelationships of the cluster colleges and the College of Artsand Sciences. The themes of the cluster colleges have been acknowledged, but acceptance andsupport for them is nil. If Western's branches of education become less competitive and moresupportive of each other, then they will move a step closer to maximum effectiveness. Before morecluster colleges are established, students, faculty and administration of Western should reevaluateand improve the present situation of its cluster colleges. —Suki Dardarian ANN CARLSON ~J "Iconstantly hear people talking about Western being rated in Playboy magazine as a "party school." It this true? If so, what year, month, etc. J.P. The answer to the first part of the question is an emphatic "yes." Playboy has referred to Western as one of the top three party schools on the. West Coast. However, Ihaven't been too successful in finding the issue. ' - - . • , . I am lazy, true . . . but I did look for it. InWilson Library, in the very bowels, so to speak, well, anyway in a tiny room behind where the microfilm is kept, are piles of Playboy magazines; in no particular order.

The most frequent guess is that it is somewhere in the early 1960s . . . does anyoneknow?? ++ : : • . — — ; life on campus JEFFBETTINSON Western's big, bad, bathroom scandalhas caused many administrators to,h^ve flushed faces. The big stink arose when rumors trickled out ofthe dorms saying that little boys and girls were sharing bathrooms. Administrative officials attempted acover-up and said, "No little boys and girls share the same bathrooms on this campus." Thank goodnessr the fearless, crusading Western Front dared print the truth of the scandal. Since then, pressure fromhorrified parents and hostile legislators has sent administrators scurrying. Informed sources told me theyhave seen college officials spying and sniffing around the dorm's bathrooms. What they are looking for isanybody's guess. ^ Whatever, a recent Western Front reported, "It looks as though they're going to beseparating the boys from the girls next year — at least in the way of on-campus dorm bathroomfacilities." The Western Front also said bathrooms for each sex will be labeled. My friend Justushappaned to be in on a meeting where sex labeling for bathrooms was discussed. Justus told me: "Noneof our administrators knew what to do about this sex labeling thing." "Why is that?" I asked. "Well,"Justus said, "in order to separate the boys from the girls they have to put something on the bathroomdoors telling which is which. That's where the problem is.- "The administrators feel the dorm dwellers arejust a teeny bit more intelligent than the baboon. And anyway, hatnional test scores over the past tenyears show that many kids entering college can't read or write. How can you put up signs saying 'Girls'and 'Boys' if no one can read them?" "That is a problem," I said. "But why not put up pictures of a manand woman?" "They thought of that," Justus said, "Someone suggested putting a picture up of a womanin a dress with long hair. But, that won't work here. I mean, all the girls wear jeans and all the boys havelong hair." "But what about putting up a picture of a naked man and woman?" I said. "They thought ofthat too. They even hired an artist to come up with some sketches. He did, but the administrators decided they could never allow such filthy drawings to be placed on bathroom doors. "Well," I said, "What havethey decided to do?" "They have been left with no choice. They are going to do what's done in theOlympics. You will have to be inspected to determine your sex before entering a bathroom. The onlyproblem they had was finding an inspector." "Wouldn't it have been easier just to let everything as it wasbefore?" "What are you," Justus asked, "some kind of pervert?" With that he started walking away."Where are you going?" I asked. "Oh, I have a new job," Justus said. "I'm an inspector over in thedorms." letters Thanks for the memories Editor, Western Front: I would like to take a small space inthe Western Front, before I graduate, to say thanks to so many fine people I have come into contact with here. This is not to say Western is perfect, but that its goodness is so overwhelming that I refuse toidentify any of its shortcomings. There are those that deserve special notice and a sincere thanks for ajob well done. Among these persons are: the congenial women that work in the housing office, the cooks ana student help that work so hard to make the dining halls (especially lower campus) a good place toeat, the helpful people working in Wilson Library, Cal Mathews and the nice people in the admissionsoffice and all of the wonderful student and faculty I have met.

Intramural softball encourages male-female sexual stereotypes Better gear may not add 'love'- to your game Editor, Western Front: It still seems apparent that men are felt superior to women and that such stereotypes still exist on this campus. This was explicitlydemonstrated by the intramural softball procedures on May 28. Due to some mistake, four softballgames were scheduled on one field at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 28. This included an all men's divisiongame, an all women's division game and two co-rec division games. Since there are only three umpireson the intramural staff one game had to be canceled. Of course, the game to be canceled was the allwomen's division game. Not only that, but the 5 p.m. all-women's game was also canceled. Considering that many of the women's teams have only played one or two games, if that many, all quarter, where as the co-rec and men's teams have played many more than that, it seems only fair that the women'sdivision games should be allowed to play over the men's and co-rec games.

At this level of tennis, expensive rackets of $50 are only valuable for boosting a player's ego. Even dedicated beginners should spend nomore than $20.

Jim Cannon Peter LeidigVarsity Tennis Change for educational need Editor, Western Front: The faculty of the College of EthnicStudies are aware of the issues now being negotiated by the University of Washington, involving Chicano demands for equal access to higher education. The evidence available to us suggests the firing of JuanSanchez and Gary Padilla and the suspension of Rosa Morales were willful and capricious. We havebeen particularly concerned with the resignations of Chicano faculty and administrators because of the effect upon the larger Chicano community in the state. The College of Ethnic Studies faculty suggestthat the Educational Opportunity Program and Academic Programs be restructured in terms ofChicano educational needs as these are defined by Chicanos. It also suggests Chicano faculty andadministrators be hired in the numbers that would provide professional opportunities for Chicanosand fulfill Chicano student and community needs. The inequality prompted by a hierarchical structureof authority, of cultures and people, is reflected in the development of academic programs and in themethod of selecting faculty. In such a structure there exists an adherence to forms when those forms no longer speak to educational needs for the coming years. Change cannot occur where the persistence of old structures and forms disallow it.

ROYTANAKA AFTER EIGHT YEARS as president, a vote of no-confidence from the faculty in 1972, budgetcuts and reduction-in-force policies, College President Charles J. Flora is saying goodby to the office."As of June 30, at 6 p.m., I will be a private citizen again. I can close my door on anyone and you'll havetrouble finding me," he said. Flora will spend the next school year on an administrative leave. He plans tostay out of the public eye and "do a lot of studying." "I've been away from the classroom for quite awhileand I've got a lot of catching up to do," he said. THEN — Flora as a young man Although he will returnto Western in 1977 as a member of the biology department, he will continue to maintain a low profile forone more year. "I don't in any way want to cause any inconvenience to the college or newadministration," he said. "I don't want the Flora administration to haunt the Olscamp administration.After that I'll become a regular member of the faculty, assuming positions at the discretion of thedepartment chairman." Looking back over his years in office, Flora said it is "wonderful" to be getting out. "I had originally planned to stay in office for a minimum of four years and a maximum of five," he said."But I realized that the college was in for some rough times. I wanted to see it through. "I feel I have done that. I have seen it through. The main job has been completed. Now it's time for someone else." THEFLORA ADMINISTRATION has been through some rough times and has had to absorb much criticism.But Flora doesn't mind. "I don't know what the attitudes of others will be after I'm out. I am aware thatsome people have been antagonistic, to ward the administration. But that's all a part of the job. Anycollege administrator should know that. "We've been through some terrible times and I've had to makesome brutal decisions. But I had to make those decisions and let the chips fall. I don't give a damn whatthey think." A college president who doesn't give a damn? "There are other things that are more important than what others think. Do I like myself? Have I made firm and honorable decisions? I don't care ifpeople like me or not. The more important question is: Do I like you?" Flora admits to being an"unorthodox" president. "I'm a short, fat, dumpy Italian. That's not in the image of a college president. Imilk cows, not to prove anything, but because I enjoy milking cows. People come out to my farm andsee me hauling manure and they say 'that's not what a college president is supposed to do.' But I'm justbeing me. "I did not become an 'administrator' when I took office. I continued to be myself. "I HAVEN'TBEEN a good administrator because I'm too blunt. I made enemies. College presidents aren't supposedto be like that. "You know, a lot of people become administrators because there's a lot of prestige inthe job. But for me, being college president was just another job. It wasn't the biggest think in my life. Ididn't seek glamor or prestige. In fact, I never cared much for what I did here. I just like this place and Ilike the people." Flora said he feels he will return to the faculty with an increased understanding ofadministration and its decisions. "Now I'm aware of the difficulties, strengths and limitations of anadministration. I hold administrators in high regard. I think they're among the most innovative andimaginative people around. "Being an administrator is a hard job. It should never be underestimated. For a few years I had a standing joke in this office. I'd go to my secretaries and say, 'Nobody told me it wasgoing to be that tough!' "And it is a tough job. The range of duties is mind-boggling! A president has toattend to n lt; problems ra difficult. An there is president He came "trepidat^p He saw We pronecamp through ei; What $pri leaves the the classroc proud, comr to get oufe gl NOW - ~ Controversyfills eight-year Flora term DUFF WILSON A STEPDOWN from the college presidency to a facultyposition was requested by Charles J. Flora shortly after faculty voted no confidence in his administration. "I have not been driven out by pressure," Flora said, but many faculty disagreed. Flora was embroiled incontroversy and criticism in spring 1972 at Western. A secret faculty poll in early June showed noconfidence in the president, by a vote of 208-182. This prompted the Faculty Council to vote noconfidence and call for Flora's resignation, by a 7-6 margin. Flora requested the stepdown later in 1972,in a secret, hand-written note he gave to Western's Board of Trustees. Only they and Flora's wife wereaware of that action. The trustees rejected his resignation then, and confirmed him in office,' statingpublicly in December that they had "entire confidence" in Flora and they hoped he would change hismind. FLORA EMPHASIZED last week "there was just no connection" between his resignation and thefaculty no-confidence vote, although "many people would like to come to that conclusion." The 1972dispute had overtones of a struggle with the faculty versus Flora and the trustees. The main criticismsleveled against Flora were: — general lack of internal leadership. — poor communication with thefaculty, administrative autocracy and "cronyism." — violating student publications policy by banningthe on-campus printing of a controversial issue of "Jeopardy," the student literary publication. —condoning an illegal act and succumbing to intimidation by conceding two faculty positions to the College of Ethnic Studies after 60 minority students occupied the administration building, Old Main, in spring1972. — low morale, low salaries and high student-faculty ratios. FIVE TOP STUDENT leaders sidedwith Flora during the no-confidence, controversy, in a June 1, 1972, statement to the trustees: ". . .Tolose his talents during this crucial time would be tragic . . . We always have known the president to dealopenly and justly with us . . ." Flora apparently just postponed his request, and the trustees accepted his resignation in May 1973, nearly a year after the original no:confidence vote. The resignation is effectiveJune 1975. The action came as a complete surprise to most of the Western community. Flora has beenWestern's president since March 21, 1968. He has served in both a period of great growth andexpectations, and troubled morale and anger at his administration. The president will return to teachingas a zoology professor in the biology department, the job- he held before joining the administration asacademic dean in 1965. Flora gained a reputation for being honest, blunt, good-humored andopinionated. Student /ecnc as time FOUR FACES OF FLORA — College President Charles J.

Fallquarter this year saw a major reshuffling of Western's administrative ranks. Early in the quarter it wasannounced that Ruth F. Werner would be the new dean of Huxley College. And look at it this way —Western's not losing a Flora, they're gaining an Olscamp. On November 13 it was announced that PaulJ. Olscamp would take College President Charles J. Flora's position on July 1. Flora will go back to hisfauna in the Biology department. Vice President for Academic Affairs Jerry Anderson resigned his postin December, calling his stay at Western "depressing."

And Flora, in his state of the college message, said Western needs a transfusion of fresh blood if it is to avoid the stagnation of100 per cent tenure. This fanned the flame of the already smoldering tenure issue. But Keith Jarrett,Wishbone Ash and the Flaming Zucchini were there to make the quarter a little less gloomy.

"What I plan to do first is to appoint a full-fledgedsearch committee to seek out a person for vice president of academic affairs," he said. Olscamp, whostated that he liked working with small numbers of people, added that "the committee will bereasonably small but representative of all areas of the community, including students." The committee'schoice, said Olscamp, should "demonstrate teaching and research ability and command academicpersonal repect of the faculty." When Olscamp becomes president July 1, Loren Webb will act astemporary vice president until the committee finds someone to fill his shoes — permanently. Also soonafter his arrival to Western, Olscamp claimed he would like to study the possibilities of establishing acollege of business and economics. EARLIER THIS MONTH, the Academic Coordinating Commissionapproved the proposal to upgrade the department of economics and business to a cluster college. Theirrecommendation now goes to the president and then to the Board of Trustees. In the wake of talk aboutWestern's "gloomy outlook," Olscamp had some positive things to say. "Everybody says that Western is falling to pieces. I see no evidence of this," he said, "Western has problems and will have problems, butit does have some good programs to offer." Olscamp claims he has no pre-meditated plans or programshe will initiate upon his arrival. "So much is dependent upon the situation when I arrive," he said. PAULOLSCAMP After being an instructor and assistant professor at Ohio State University, he becameassociate dean there in 1969. From there, he became vice-president for academic affairs, dean offaculties and a philosophy professor at Roosevelt University. Olscamp will come from SyracuseUniversity, New York, where he was executive assistant to the chancellor and philosophy professor andlater became vice chancellor for student programs.

"As faculty than students. He holds power over the faculty and members of hisadministration, so they develop a defensive, adversary relationship. "Olscamp will be up against anentrenched faculty with high power faculty politicians. They'll all try to get their particular views across tohim. He won't have the close ties and friendships inside the college that Flora has cultivated," Wilsonsaid. "He'll have to make them himself." "A person can effectively be a leader of a group only as long asthat group recognizes him as such," AS President-elect Stephen Barrett said. "Flora was not articulate in defending some of the decisions he made on critical issues. That lost him communication with thecollege community. "It's going to be very important for Olscamp to communicate with all theconstituencies of the college," Barrett said. "He must have an available ear for student input and be openin his plans for the direction of Western, especially to the students." AS Vice President Hugh Larkinsaid, "I've heard that Flora was elected because, being a past faculty member, people thought they knewwhat to expect of him. It will be different with Olscamp. "From the start it will be difficult for Olscamp tobe his own man. He'll be dealing with a very cliquish faculty, in that departments are close amongstthemselves, struggling for considerations," he said. "FLORA WAS very active on important issues, but considering other fiscal and policy decisions that must be made, student related policies tended to getless immediate attention," said Jeff Larsen, member of the college Services Council and past member ofthe All-College Senate. "In my dealings with him he seemed terribly paternalistic. He also has definiteproblems with the legislature. Wilson, once a legislative intern in Olympia, attributes this to a personalfeud between Flora and Rp. A.N. "Bud" Shinpock, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee(Appropriations). "Olscamp struck me as being very capable and seemed more into student interestson a factual basis — not so much bullshit'," Larsen said. "He'll push for student representative on theBoard of Trustees. With his background, I think he could lead Western away from its liberal arts core." "I sense that he's an authoritarian, but I think he'll have to feel out his administration for a year of so beforehe can implement his new ideas," Larsen said. BARREN OFFICE, PLENTIFUL MIND — Acting VicePresident for Academic Affairs Loren Webb plans to make transition period for incoming college presidentPaul Olscamp as easy as possible. New vice president wants to implement policies of students, facultyand trustees LOUIE PHILLIPS ABOUT THE ONLY thing acting Vice President for Academic AffairsLoren Webb has in common with his predecessor, Jerry Anderson, is the shortness of his term. Webb,45, sat in his barren office Wednesday. He wore a short-sleeved white-and-baize striped sui: t with apaisley tie. His hair jutted from behind his ears. One arm was slung around the back of the chair. Theother reached to flick a cigarette ash or grab a cup of coffee. In contrast to Anderson who came from aMichigan school, Webb has been on campus 10 years. For six of those years, he has been director ofthe speech pathology and audiology program. Webb considers himself to be pro-faculty. Anderson wasknown for having squabbles with several faculty members. Webb has a different view of being anadministrator. "It's my belief the success or failure of Western revolves around the faculty, students andadministrators of this institution," Webb said. "I am for faculty. "I want to see myself as animplementer of policies as determined by the faculty, students and Board of Trustees." Webb hopes toget along well with all members of the college community during his one-year tenure. "My firstcommitment is to Western," Webb said. "I'm not going to use my position to build up speech pathology. I will put. college policy first and foremost. "I would like to think one of the reasons I was chosen is that Iam known for my objectivity." Webb said he does not anticipate having any problems taking on theacademic vice presidentship at the same time Paul Olscamp assumes college presidential duties. "MYFEELING IS that we will get along just fine. We are very compatible," Webb said. "I'm flexible. We willhave a good working relationship." Webb made this statement even though he has met Olscamp once, and that was only to shake his hand. However, Webb has often served against College PresidentCharles J. Flora as the 1970-71 Faculty Council chairman. Flora and Webb have a "mutual respect." Itwas Flora who accepted Webb's nomination from the Council of Deans. "I've always been comfortableworking with Flora," Webb said. He believes the same relationship will exist with Olscamp. "Olscampknows I just want to serve a single year," Webb said, referring to his July 1976 return to his department."I presume I was selected because I am someone from the campus that knows the campus so as tomake the transition easier." Webb, though on sabbatical, was on campus to familiarize himself with hisnew job. "I'm not expecting a honeymoon. I expect to go right to work," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front- Ttie^UyiJiine 311975^ Gabriel Gladstar returns for musical Farewell Reunion with oldfriends GRANT RANLETT AS THE FULL moon glowed an eerie orange and disappeared into totaldarkness, Gabriel Gladstar played to a gathering of 200 in the Viking Union lounge May 24. Theperformance marked the close of their two-night Farewell Reunion, an event that brought them all the way from San Francisco to bid a musical hello and goodby to the town that had given them the boost of theircareer. Michael Gwinn, Phillip Morgan and Jim Zeiger of Gab riel Gladstar arrived in Bellingham with their family of 15 in an old schoolbus in August 1973. They had been turned away from the Canadian borderon their wav to Vancouver from their home in Laguna Beach, Calif. Their next move was to settle inBellingham. In the 11 months they lived here, Gladstar became one of Bellingham's most popular bandsand completely changed the local music scene. Before Gladstar's arrival there were few places in townwhere good live music could be heard. This band broke the way for hundreds of other musicians whentwo local establishments began featuring live music after Gladstar became the first band to play on theirpremises. The concerts had a warm welcome back feeling. Gladstar was glad to be back in town and the audience greeted them like old friends. A relaxed atmosphere pervaded the lounge as people sat oncouches or on the carpet-covered floor, bathed in the red light of the setting sun shining through theroom's large picture windows. "This view reminds us of San Francisco," Gwinn said as he gazed out onto Bellingham Bay. Appropriately, '"Sunset* was the opening number that evening. Gwinn played lead onhis acoustic Gibson guitar as Morgan supplied his complex, powerful rhythms on his hollow-bodied guitar while Zeiger accompanied them on flute. Gladstar's style could best be called jazz-country. THEIRPIECES WERE of wide variety ranging from the quiet "Did I Hurt You?" with a single guitaraccompanying three voices to the intense, tightly-knit guitar dialogues between Morgan and Gwinn. Theyplayed their own compositions and some fine versions of such songs "Mr. Bo Jangles" and the Byrd's"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere." Woodwinds and guitars were the group's basic instrumentation. Zeiger playedeither a flute or chose from a selection or soprano, alto, and bass saxes. At times, he or Gwinn wouldplay the electric piano/organ. In addition to his acoustic guitar, Gwinn frequently played a black-bodiedelectric Gibson, occasionally switching leads with Morgan. Morgan would sometimes set aside his guitar to play a variety of small percussion instruments. MOON MUSIC - Phillip Morgan, Jim Zeiger andMichael Gwinn played their jazz-country music at their concert in the Viking Union lounge during therecent lunar eclipse. After the first hour-and-a-half set, the band took a ' moon break," giving everyone achance to observe the eclipse. The moon was a silver sliver as the concert ended at 1 a.m. after astanding ovation and an extended- encore. As Gladstar packed their equipment, several of the audiencecrowded the stage to express their appreciation. Later that day a train would take the three musiciansback to San Francisco. 'Jeopardy9 shines in art... lacks in writing BRUCE HAYES This year's"Jeopardy" is 140 pages of poetry, short stories and art work. Some of it is good, but, unfortunately,some of it is not. V The art is "Jeopardy's" best asset. A lovely color reproduction on the cover, "TheConservatory" by Bonnie E. Hammond. A whole rainbow of hues, deep reds, oranges, purples, blues,greens, yellows and intermediate shades swirl and twist to form fairytale foliage and a glassed building of plants and birds. Paintings, drawings of pencil and pen and ink, and etchings, appearing intermittentlythroughout the magazine, are expertly used, some abstractly, in portraits, nudes and landscapes. Inthe writing department, however, "Jeopardy" is lacking something. Some of the poems are, at times,evocative and reach out and grip the reader. Certain lines vividly use their words to form pictures of ameaning, perhaps not the author's, but is very clear. Some of the other poems, seem to have beenwritten as a joke, as though the author was saying how ridiculous can I get and still be mistaken for art? That may not be the intention, but it is the impression conveyed. College authors are pretentious.Some do attempt to say something in their work but a lack of real experience prevents them fromsaying it simply. Too often vulgarity and crudity are used to convey an idea when something less offen Free verse poetry is the most difficult to write. Without a formal guide it is easy to lapse from poetryinto parody, and that is what has happened in "Jeopardy." Fiction-wise, the magazine fares somewhatbetter. There is a tendency toward pessimism in the stories, but many of the characters are well-developed. If some of the situations are a bit pretentious, chalk it up to the writers' lack of experience.There are ideas that are fascinating. All they need are a few more years of development.

Art department te evaluate merits Members ofthe art department are concerned with how the department is run and a general overall outlook of thedepartment. All art studio, art education, art history and art minors are being asked to volunteer inanswering a questionnaire found near the art department office. Some of the questions asked range from "Have you always known what's been going on in the department?" to "Are you getting the kind ofcurriculum you want from the art department?" Other questions cover whether the student plans tocontinue at Western, drop out, or transfer and whether the classes are too crowded. It is hoped thequestionnaire will help shape the department in the future. events TODAY Poetry —Thomas IrvingDavis will read from his new book "Within the Sound of Water" at 4 p.m. in the Fairhaven Collegeauditorium.

These interests range from routine administrativetasks, to helping a veteran receive a loan, to giving advice on a personal problem, to arousing publicawareness in social ills. Jeremy Standen, veterans' representative, is responsible for the most importantfinancial services. He is the link with the veteran and the Veterans Administration office in Seattle. If, for instance, a student wishes to claim any additional dependents, Standen should be notified toarrange for the necessary change in benefits. His office is in Old Main 440. His office hours are from8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Lorraine McGaw, of the Registrar's Office works hand inhand with Standen. She informs the Veterans Administration of any change of veteran status-credit hour change affecting benefits, etc. The League of Collegiate Veterans has several programs which haveproven valuable to veterans. The primary function of this organization is counseling. They offer advice onlegal, personal or benefit problems. A league representative said counseling concerning problemsrequiring administrative work is usually referred to Standen. Vietnam Veterans Against the War /Winter Soldier Organization, presently headed by Jim Johnson, is primarily concerned with publicawareness. Its scope is wide and varied. It strives, mostly through demonstration and leafleting, toarouse public support in their fight against social ills, and political and economic injustice. It will oftenmarch with other organizations in "support of mutual positions," Johnson said. VA representativesfrom the Seattle office said veteran enrollment has increased in colleges nationally. This increase,however, is not apparent at Western. The veteran enrollment has "stayed around 900," Standen said. The VA speculates the increase is due primarily to the increase in benefits and also the pooremployment situation in the country. Belly dancing: some just can't stomach it THE MYSTIC MUSIC ofthe Middle East, provided by a lone violin and ceramic bongo drum, sets the mood for the class.Teacher Shelley Nolan calls out the rhythm. She claps time with her four finger-cymbals: "Cross in, -cross in, click, click, click . . . left, right, left, right!" Now the tummies begin to sway in rhythm with thecymbals and the music and the arms start to do exotic things. Faster! Faster! The tempo is building up. The violin player is sitting cross-legged on a bare carpet. The eight women and their teacher continue to sway. The light smell of incense penetrates the small cozy room in the back of the Film Factory onState Street. The gathering is a beginning class in belly dancing, under the name of The Bou SaadaCenter of Middle Eastern Art. "As long as you keep moving to the music you can't make any mistakes," Nolan reassures the barefoot dancers. "I've seen people get out and dance and they do beautifully. Getthem into belly dancing and they can't do it." She said this is because they get uptight and relaxation is the chief ingredient in belly dancing. Nolan is interested in bringing this fine art to Bellingham but so farshe has met resistance from the townspeople. "They consider us hippies," Nolan said, "and they don'ttake us seriously." Nolan studied in San Francisco under "Jamila." She said in the Bay area there arehundreds of dancers so the jobs are scarce. In Bellingham, there are only three professional hellydancers, but because the townspeople don't really understand what it's all about, the jobs are just asscarce. Also, in San Francisco, men belly dance and they are good, Nolan said. Originally, the dancecame from Egypt. The Gawazele tribe was banished to the north of the country and both the men andwomen now earn their livings dancing. in I J THE BEST OF THE NEW YORK FESTIVAL OFWOMEN'S FILMS AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF EIGHT SHORT* FILMS MADE ENTIRELY BYWOMEN.

Early visions offall and football are on the minds of those working out in preparation for next season. The football teamhas been working out, running and weight lifting, since early in the quarter. And apathy would not^describe the enthusiasm of last fall's 2-7 team. "We have a different breed of guys coming back and Ithink we have something to prove. We can win games," Western lineman Dann- DeBellis said. DeBellisis a senior physical education major from Snohomish with one year eligibility left. "Everybody's beenkinda pushing each other and it's paying off," he said. "We're getting in shape and developing a positiveattitude." The team started weight workouts in a power lifting program. Power lifting is especially suited to build strength rapidly and add body weight. Several players (all backs and receivers) have had to switchprograms when body weight increases resulted in loss of speed. They have gone to a speed liftingprogram which* employs the use of lower weights with more repetitions of the exercises. Power liftingrequires working out with maximum bar weight at all times, with fewer reps. Three exercises arestressed: the dead life, squats and bench pressing. "It's going to take a group of guys who want to pulltogether as a team to win more games," DeBellis, who can dead lift over 500 pounds, said. "IT'SDIFFERENT HERE than at other schools. 0 Here we can't take~anything for granted; money, $ Jequipment, staff or anything, but' we have to get "gf; the most out of what we have." § Linebacker BobTaylor, a senior from Ferndale ,© said, "People have asked me why I continue to play after the last fewlosing seasons. But I enjoy playing and I'm not going to quit just because we haven't won that manygames." Taylor is also a long jumper on the Western track team and is the defending District I long jump champion. Both Taylor and DeBellis feel that football here lacks enough money to adequately run theprogram. Their main dissatisfaction is the inability of the program to keep a coaching staff intact for two years in a row. "In my three years here we've only had one coach that's remained. That's Boyde Long.It's tough to build a team when, every season, different assistants are helping coach the team," Taylorsaid. Head coach Boyde Long has reported even though funding that he had hoped would let him hiretwo more assistants has failed to materialize, last year's assistants Don Wiseman and Bill Baker willreturn. "I've heard it said that Western considers itself an educational school first and above building upits athletics. But I think that's b.s.," Taylor said. "I think that's an image the school would like to project." "A LOT OF rumors condemning the football program have been started," DeBellis added, "by peoplewho have dropped out of the football program. "The truth of the matter is they were just not goodenough to make the team and want to tear it down to justify the fact they couldn't make it," he said.Both players also mentioned that lack of team leadership hurt the squad last year. Both plan to assumethat responsibility next fall. "Gilmore (Gary, who last year as a senior was an all-Evco and District Ilinebacker selection) tried, but he couldn't do it alone," they said. The two do not intend to finish theirathletic careers on a sour note.

I discovered this quarter, much to my surprise, that the students who produce this award-winningnewspaper are not the bunch of withering, sissy intellectuals I had envisionsed them to be. Havinganticipated disaster when I was roped into being player-coach for the Western Front co-rec intramuralsoftball team, it was a relief to know that my first attempt at a coaching career has been a winningsuccess (due largely to an incredible number of teams that forfeited to us). "They are just scared of us,"maintains our star right fielder, Suki Dardarian. My teammates spend most of their time in thedungeonous newsroom, seeing daylight only on those rare occasions when they lurk through theshadows to cross campus for classes in the basement of Arntzen Hall. I wasn't sure what effect the great outdoors would have on them — they went bananas. It soon became a pre-game ritual to gather in theFront office and wait for our pitcher Connie Tedrow, the Knute Rockne of mushball, to begin psyching upthe team. Tedrow starts by pounding everyone she sees on the back and whispering -. a faint word ofencouragement. As the crowd grows in the newsroom, we form a huddle and Tedrow says to the fourtoken women that must be on the field in co-rec play, "Are you ready ladies?" "YES, YES, YES, we'll doour best!" we reply in high, squeaky voices. "Now men," Tedrow says in a stern voice while alternatelyscowling and crossing her eyes, "what is the key word?" "Go, go, go!" they gruff back. "Aw come on you guys," she says, jabbing her hands deep into her pockets and looking irritated. "You gotta be tougherthan this if you want to win." It gets suddenly quiet. "But I thought we were playing just for fun," objectsGreg "the Leggs" Cohen. "Who said anything about winning?" "Look you dummy," snaps our usuallyphilosophical shortstop, Keith Olson. "In my opinion there is a scientifically-proven direct correlationbetween winning and having fun so quit being so damned idealistic." "Enough of this foolishness,"Tedrow bellows. "Go out there and stab them in the back, wring their necks and beat their heads in!"Tedrow throws a typewriter to warm up her pitching arm, and the fervor begins. We dash out the backdoor and pile into the back of catcher Dick Milne's pickup truck and bomb over to the field while 20 of uswildly scream "Kill, kill, kill!" "Kill!" Tedrow whails, laughing hysterically. "For the glory of the Front!" MYVOTE FOR Most Valuable Player goes to our first baseman Dennis Ritchie, who has had to take a lot ofvalid criticism for his conduct. In our first game, we played his girlfriend's team and on her first turn at batshe collided with Ritchie at the base. Consequently, they have had to suffer innumerable . "Well, you-finally-got-to-firstrbase, huh Ritchie" jokes. The Most Impoved Player Award would have to go to MarnieNiece's fill-in at second base, Becky Fox. At the beginning of the season, anybody in a body cast oncrutches with their hands tied behind their back could have thrown better than her. But "the Fox" got ittogether and after her first successful play at second she waved the ball in the air, squealed and lookedgleeful for over a week. We've actually won some games without the aid of a forfeit but I've earned theimage as team pessimist. While my teammates are patting themselves and each other on the back, I'musually off in a corner mumbling, "We only won because they were handicapped with more womenplayers," drawing.the wrath of my liberated sisters. To make a long story short, we might make the play-offs if the play-offs ever get organized. And as our versatile star Rick Donker, who is content at anyposition except benchwarmer, always says, "It could be Hell!"

In threesimilar speeches (one to the faculty,- one to the board of trustees and one to the students) Flora saidthe state is trying to balance its budget for the 69-71 biennium. Western's actual number of full-fee-paying students now stands at 9,244. That number is 326 students under the budgeted enrollment which means Western will have to return possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state Flora said. Headded that under normal economic conditions in the past, returning money was never required whenWestern didn't fill student enrollment projections. , The real crisis will be operating in the 71-73 bienniumFlora said. According to Flora the state is faced with a depression, not a recession. As a result Western is faced with cutbacks of possibly millions of dollars. For that reason Flora has set up two commissions which he said will be the "most hated groups on campus if they do a good job." The two commissions,headed by Dr. Frederick Sargent, college provost, have the assigned task of making suggestions forcutting costs of operating this institution. The first commission will focus on instructional costs whichamount to about 65 per cent of the total costs. Flora said he didn't think faculty manpower reductionswill be necessary but that they could occur. The second commission is charged with makingsuggestions for reducing o p e r a t i o n costs, including administration costs and associated studentsbudget. Analogizing on the enormous size of the needed cost cutbacks, Flora said, "We're not justdraining off fat, we're talking about cutting some meat, we just hope we don't cut bone." When asked ifthere will be any students on these commissions Flora said, "I've delayed actually considering that untilthere is a student government I can turn to." Flora contends that these commissions could be thestimulus needed to improve Western's educational system. Joe Nusbaum, college business manager,accompanied and aided Flora in his "speech tour." Nusbaum explained with charts that college costskeep going up faster than college income. He also said the political scene doesn't give Boeing'simmediate future too much to look forward to. The word "Boeing" seemed to keep popping into the threespeeches, which lead to the question "Do you think it's a good idea for the college and the state todepend on one industry, namely Boeing?" Flora replied quickly, "No sir, I don't." Young Demos By JIMAUSTIN The students of Washington have the opportunity to work for social change within a recognizedpolitical organization, according to Young Democrats (YD) President Charlene Miller. The local chapterwill meet at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow to plan campaign activities for the coming election, in VU .360 "TheYoung Democrats are the third most influential political organization in the state," Miss Miller said. Sheadded that the student organization's influence is surpassed only by that of the State Democratic andRepublican parties. Western's YD's will hit the election trail Saturday with a door-to-door . campaign forthe election of Dan Van Dyk to the State Legislature. Van Dyk will face incumbent GOP Legislator Fred Veroske in the Nov. 3 general election. Another major goal of the group is the passage of House JointResolution 6 (Vote 19). "Just because the President signed Congressional legislation extending the voteto 18 year olds doesn't mean the Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of the bill," Miss Millersaid. She also is Whatcom County coordinator for Vote 19. The State Democratic Party adopted ayouth-oriented platform in Spokane last( summer, proposing a m n e s t y for anti-war demonstrators and those who refuse induction and endorsing the Hat field-McGovern Amendment. The senate amendmentto the 1970 military appropriations bill, co-sponsored by Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.) and Sen. GeorgeMcGovern (D-S.D.), called for the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Indochina by June 1971. Theamendment was voted down by the Senate during the summer. Kids Klean up County The WhatcomCounty landscape looks a little greener today, following a county-wide children's clean-up contest thatnetted a staggering 124,000 bottles and cans. Sponsored by supporters of Initiative 256 (seeking to banall non-returnable bottles and cans), the contest made three enterprising children $50 richer. Prizeswere awarded for the most containers collected by the child in each of three age groups-6-9, 10-12 and13-15. A group prize of $50 was given to the third grade class at Rolder Grade School. The cans andbottles were collected at four drop-off points in the Whatcom County area from noon to 3 p.m. Saturdayafternoon. Northwestern Glass in Seattle is buying the glass collected for $20 a ton, but the metalcontainers will have to be taken to the dump. "This is against our wishes," said Dave Miller, statechairman of Initiative 256. He explained that there is no local recycling company who will buy the metal. This reporter participated in the sorting and counting of containers at the Toad Hall location. Thefollowing is a bottle-by-bottle account of the day's activities: By JIM DIEDRICK 11:30 a.m.-Cans andbottles are streaming in ahead of schedule. I am advised to begin the endless job of counting and sorting into three main groups—non-returnable bottles, returnable bottles, and cans. The bottles are alsodivided according to color—brown, green and clear. 12:30 p. m.—Reinforcements from Fairhaven arrive to help with sorting. More contestants arrive with the number of bottles and cans pre-tallied on an entryblank supplied by the initiative sponsors. We are informed that the Lucky Lager distributors will pay 25cents a case for their bottles. Moans ripple through the crowd, contemplating the task of re-sorting. 1p.m.—A friendly lady in a blue pickup pulls up with 2,000 brightly-colored cans. She is asked to drive to the Union Printing Shop parking lot in downtown Bellingham and deposit them in a cage there. I ridealong, noticing on the way a billboard against Initiative 256. The argument is that its passage wouldcause unemployment and raise the costs of living. 1:15 p.m.—We arrive at the parking lot and dumpthe cans.

Many avenues are open to students in need of financial assistance at Western. In all cases it is of paramount inportance for the student to investigate the various programs early and beprompt in submitting his application. Federal aid to education and federally-insured student loans arethe two major forms of financial assistance available to students, according to James Grant, assistantdirector of the financial aid office. Three programs come under federal aid to education: National DefenseStudent Loans, Educational Opportunity Grants, and College Work-Study. A needy student will beconsidered for a National Defense Student Loan if he is enrolled full-time, 12 credit hours for anundergraduate, seven for graduates. Determination of need is largely dependent on the parent'sconfidential financial statement. II his financial need is great enough and there are funds available, thestudent will get, on the average, a $500 loan. Interest rate for the National Defense Loan is set at a low 3 per cent per year. Repayment as well as interest rates do not begin until nine months after a studentends his studies. Repayment may be deferred up to three years if the student is in the armed services,Peace Corps, VISTA or involved in graduate studies. Educational Opportunity Grants are based onexceptional need as demonstrated by the parent's confidential statement. These grants are "gift aid" with no repayment required. Individual grants may range from $200 to $800 and are matched with otherfinancial aid such as loans, scholarships or guaranteed employment. Grant said many students havemisconceptions about the Work-Study program. "First of all, work-study students are pre-selected," hepointed out. This means that students can't, By RON GRAHAM just walk into the financial aid office inthe middle of Fall quarter and ask to get on the work-study program. Applications must be submitted bythe Winter quarter preceding the next school year in order to be considered for work-study. To remainon work-study a student must be enrolled full-time and maintain a 2.0 grade point average. Many typesof jobs come under the work-study program. The student union, the library, the computer center, themaintenance department and other campus agencies employ students under the work-study program.Jobs on campus can net a student between $300 and $600 a year while off campus positions generallyyield more. Any full-time student qualifies for a federally insured student loan which carries almost all the benefits of the National Defense, Student Loan. The interest rate is higher (7 per cent), and the banksare somewhat restrictive in handling the loan. . 0 . . . . . . ^ ^ , . v • % . - . . » . « lt; gt; • i \ \ jS lt;i'• gt;% gt;*»«s V »*V1 . * lt;? t" »* J lt;! »s 0 V days to six months. Five per centinterest in pre-charged on the existing face value of the note. No funds, are available for the emergencyloan. The Methodist loan is available only to full-time students who are members of the United Methodist Church. Western is scholarship-poor, according to Grant. Academic scholarships are available as one-year awards given to freshmen, transfer students or returning students in recognition of outstandingscholastic achievement. Other scholarships at Western are awarded on the basis of special abilities.These are granted on recommendation of the art, athletic, music, speech and drama departments.There are many other scholarships which are awarded by private institutions and businesses. Information on these and other student aid. sources can be obtained from the finanical aid office, Old Main 103. .Freshmen are less likely to get a loan their first quarter since the bank has no way of being sure thestudent will be in school. The nine-month repayment deferment and possible deferments due toemployment in the armed services, Peace Corps, VISTA or graduate study are the same as long as thestudent's family adjusted gross income is less than $15,000 a year. Outside of federal aid there areseveral other types of loans including Western's institutional student loan, the emergency loan and theUnited Methodist Student Loan Fund. Students in temporary need of funds to continue their educationcan apply for the institutional student loan. Completion of at least one quarter at Western along with full-time enrollment and good a c a d e m i c standing are pre-requisites. Institutional loans can amount to a maximum of $200 per quarter. A student may not get more than two in an academic year of two without repayment.

Bob Marx, a member of Westernspsychology department and the campus counseling center, put out an urgent call for help last week inhopes of recruiting concerned students. Marx said that a meeting has been scheduled for today inLecture Hall Two from 4 to 6 p.m. The meeting will provide interested students with information about the present mental health clinic facilities and what might be accomplished by passage of the levy. "Theproject should serve as a great educational experience to any student who is interested in helping,"Marx said. Student who would like to help the clinic would be stationed at various points throughout thecounty for one day and pass out literature and answer questions. "Many people when they hear thewords 'mental health' think of insanity, but it covers much more. The whole field is changing rapidly," hesaid. Any student interested in more information can contact Marx in the counseling center. Geologists Strike Gold Hey science buffs, define this one: "Paleomagnetism and Magnetic Properties of Cordilieran Granitic Rocks." Give up? Well, the geology department recently received a National ScienceFoundation research grant of $16,100 for this mystery title. The research, under direction of Dr. Myrl E.Beck, Jr., will study fossils in granite to determine what ancient magnetic fields were like. In hisresearch, Beck will take cores of granite and bring them to his lab. With the use of sensitive equipment,he can tell what magnetic fields were like when the rocks first cooled. Through this type of research,Beck can even tell how much the magnetism of the North Pole has changed. The research will last atleast two years. Beck will restrict his study to the Pacific Northwest. food production seminar lastThursday. So in 1968 Heath, with a little help from his friends in government agencies, drew up a planfor the Lummi AquaGulture Project. The plan proposed that more than 2,500 acres of LmnfttiAquaculture Project. The plan proposed that more than 2,500 acres of Lummi tidelands could be dikedand then shellfish and trout grown in huge quantities in the ponds for commercial markets, with eachacre capable of yielding $4000 in oysters and fish per year. As of now gt; s m a l l er research-pondshave been built and construction on the' dikes of a 7 5 0 - a c r e pond is almost completed. Closelyinterwoven with H e a t h ' s facts about the aquaculture program was his assessment of the LummiIndians. "Tremendous teamwork has been a way of life for the Lummis for a long time. They built thistwice as fast as any professional firm could," he said. According to Heath, it was also the Lummis' longfamiliartiy with the sea and fishing that enabled them to build the dikes and other parts of the project sofast, so well and with less expense, while ignoring contrary predictions and advice from someconstruction engineers. "Engineers predicted 50 feet a day of dike construction and the Lummis weredoing over 100.feet a day," he said. "Heath related aquaculture programs to world problems. Heemphatically stated that aquafarms can not solve the population problem, but given a stable population,the programs can feed a lot of people that are in need of protein. Heath recognized that pollution is aproblem to aquaculture programs. "But let's play the game," he said. "If you can grow several millionpounds of food somewhere, then you are going to be able to turn off somebody's pollution." NewProgram Western recently began a graduate program in student personnel administration in highereducation. The program is geared to accomodate only 12 graduate students at a time, the entire course taking a consecutive four quarters.

Questions cheerfully accepted inVU 220. Gail Denton Special Elections Board Chairman Apathy and Hypocrisy By GLEN JONES Many students gripe about the education they receive at Western. They say that classes aren't relevant,teachers are a drag and students have no voice in the college system. Yet in the midst of all the bitching, it's ironic that a clear opportunity for student voice was almost completely ignored by students. Onceagain, attempts to put together a Student Advisory Committee in the English department have failed. Last Spring quarter thirteen people voted for student positions on the committee. This quarter twenty-six ofthe 600-plus English and journalism majors even bothered to vote. By doubling the vote at this rate, it willbe February of '72 before anything is done. The 18 positions for nomination on the advisory committeewere well filled by majors before the election last Friday. All information about the ballot was publicizedyet, the election was a disaster. Possibly the reasons for failure are that few students actually know what the functions and powers of the committee are. The committee can (could) influence departmentaldecisions in matters of undergraduate curriculum, and far range planning. These are two wide areas ofmany current student dissatisfaction. More specifically, although students do not have direct power to fire a faculty member, they can carry sufficient weight in keeping a teacher that is being dismissed. Anadvisory committee gives advice. Advice means having a say in what goes on around this campus.Students want a voice; they can have it. Apathy and hypocrisy are the key words in the whole matter. Itseems that students are running around saying one thing, and meaning another. They want a voice, butthey won't do anything about it.

Watching Douglas Fairbanks triumph over the forces of evil in The Iron Mask Friday, I couldn't help but superimpose my 20th centurycollege-student attitudes on the swashbuckling classic. Fairbanks, as the musketeer D'Artagnan,epitomized the John Wayne love-it-or-leave-it super-patriot of the sword who would spill his blood fromhere to eternity for a plot of ground. While 1929 audiences surely cheered Fairbanks on in his heroicdiversions, I could only snicker. It was like a high-camp Batman TV show. It's all here of course.Damsels in distress, evil villains, death-defying acrobatics. Even the rightful king of France, Louis IX, iskidnapped and trapped within an iron mask. Whatever crisis arose, the three musketeers met thechallenge with ease. A simple chant of "All for one, and one for all" sent the opposition fleeing in terror.There was no in-between in those days (the 1600's), when the tide of chivalry was at its zenith. A manwas either good or bad, never a mixture of both. Finally, the hand of fate intervened and D'Artagnan wentoff to the great swordfight in the sky. As he breathed his last, the narrator intoned: "You died as youlived-in love of. your country." . . . .Qh.w.ejl, Bac.M.o.EJhQt.QQuld.. • English Apathy If you are anEnglish or journalism major, you no doubt heard frequent announcements of elections for the StudentAdvisory Committee of this department. You may also be vaguely interested in the results of lastFriday's ballot for those students running. ? Twenty-six out of some 600 English and journalism majorsvoted. Dr. Robert McDonnell, chairman of the English department, says frankly he doesn't know what todo with the ballot yet. Students could have, but haven't successfully formed a Student AdvisoryCommittee to the department for the past two years since McDonnell first suggested its formation. Thecommittee could carry weight with the undergraduate curriculum and far range planning committees ofthe English department. McDonnell first put it to students to form the committee among themselves.Nothing happened. Last Spring quarter an open meeting was set up and well publicized for voting oncommittee members. Thirteen people voted. This quarter an open ballot was held. Eighteen places fornomination to the committee were filled. Information about election procedures was announcedrepeatedly.

Kingsley stressed the need for the new centerby citing an experience he had with one patient. The patient, an extremely nervous veteran, "freaked out" as a train passed outside the clinic.

That's - where the change will occur," U.S. Senatorial candidate WilliamMassey told ,an estimated 50 students at Western Friday. Massey, a" candidate on the SocialistWorkers Party (SWP) ticket, endorsed the Oct. 31 nation-wide demonstrations. "Oct. 31 is a muchmore important date than Nov. 3 is," he said. Massey lashed out at what he called the "phrase-mongering" of the Democratic and Republican Parties. "The peace candidates of both parties supportthe popular war (Israel) and oppose the unpopular war (Vietnam)." Republicans and Democrats are liketwo brands of chewing gum, he told the Western Front in an interview following-the speech. "There is nodifference in the last analysis." The SWP as a political party is about 40 years old "though the m e m be r s are considerably younger," Massey said. Massey outlined six points of the SWP platform: 1.Immediate troop withdrawal from Indochina and the rest of the world. "Let the people vote on immediatewithdrawal and tax war profits 100 per cent," the party platform states. 2. Minority control of theircommunities. "End the repression against third world militants, especially the Black Panther Party." 3.Support Women's Liberation. "In order for women to play the role they can and should play in society,abortions must be free and available on demand.* He called for the passage of Referendum 20 as a steptoward free abortion. .4. Protection for the workers. "End unemployment by providing jobs for all through shorter work weeks with no reduction in pay. We support unemployment compensation at full unionscales as long as jobs are unavailable." 5. Change the tax structure. "Abolish all income taxes onincomes under $10,000 while taxing all income over $25,000 100 per cent." 6. End pollution. "So longas it is profitable to pollute, the businesses will pollute. To solve America's problems we have toeliminate the profit system." Massey said he believed the recent rash of bombings was a " v e r y poorcaricature of government action." "I think bombings are wrong and stupid," he said. Valley BackRadiating the love, hope and inner peace of which he sings gives Jim Valley's music a joyous appealwhich seems to come from his soul through his voice and guitar. Valley, nicknamed "Happy Harpo"when he performed for Paul Revere and the Raiders, will sing at 7 p.m. Thursday, in the VU coffee den.He drew nearly 400 people last Spring quarter, capping Campus Crusade for Christ's weekly College Life program. A self-taught musician, Valley began his performing career as drummer, with Don and theGoodtimes. He became lead guitar with the Raiders when the draft grabbed up Phil Volk (better knownas "Fang"). The switch in style from rock to folk came after Harpo left fame, fortune and the Raiders twoyears ago to work for the Union Pacific Railroad and sing for churches and youth groups on theweekends.

What are their goals?According to League of Veterans Interim President Don DeMarco, the group plans to lobby in Olympiafor a state bonus for Vietnam War veterans and one tuition-free year of college. Washington is one of the few states which does not have a state bonus for veterans. The bonus usually takes the form of a setamount of money given the vet upon his release from active military service. The state legislature passed a bill last year giving the veterans a bonus, but Gov. Daniel J. Evans vetoed the bill as unconstitutional.The club is open to all students, faculty and staff who have served in the armed forces and weredischarged under honorable conditions. Wanfed- Tutors The Student Tutoring Service is asking forvolunteers to help children who may have got a rotten deal in the public schools or whose parents maynot have the educational background to help them. The service works with children at - the Lummi Indian Tribal Center, the Boy's Club, the migrant workers, and various Bellingham elementary and secondaryschools. The service gives college students a chance to apply schoolbook psychology to actualsituations. The Student Tutoring Service has been in existence for six years and is funded by theAssociated Students. More students are needed to volunteer their time and experience toward helpingthose who have not had their academic advantages.

A special state grand jury in Ohioprobing last May's Kent State University killings, exonerated National Guard troops who fired onstudents.

I have eard that there is no way short of an peration to return it to normal. Secondly, what doyou think of veight lifting as a means of keeping n shape? Vnswer; Joints are held in place by nuscles,tendons and ligaments. A tislocation is a disturbance of the ormal relationship of the parts of a ointresulting in inevitable tearing or tretching of ligaments. Once a joint as been dislocated, it becomeseasier or it to "p°P o u t " o n subsequent •ccasions when an unusual force is pplied to it. Each time is a little asier than the one before. Examination by an orthopedic urgeon is indicated in your case.Corrective surgery entails tightening p of loosened structures and •ccasionally transplanting aligament, t is indicated in severe cases. People who weight lift say it's great. Most people feci that it issupplementary to a well rounded exercise program. In your case, weight lifting that would involve yourinjured shoulder should only be at your doctor's recommendation. In fact, I'd raise my arm slowly in class if I were you. Question: A few of my friends tell me that the latest fad is getting high on the scent otthe adhesive portion of Scotch magic transparent tape. Is this potentially harmful in any way? Answer:This variation on glue sniffing probably makes use of the toxic effects of either the glue or the solventused to get it off the tape. Inhalation of unknown vapors can be very dangerous, sometimes causing liverdisease of convulsions. The package for this particular tape says it is good for permanent use. Sniffingvapors can also be fatal. Question: I am engaged and have had sex. My problem is that even afterseveral times, there is still pain in the vaginal area. Also, I am not able to have an orgasm. My fiance isable to reach a climax even though I cannot. Though I love my fiance, I do not enjoy intercourse but feel-Fshould engage in such activities for his sake. Is there any explanation for the repeated pain and theinability to reach a climax? I would appreciate an immediate reply as I am extremely concerned! Answer: Unlike the man, who must be sexually excited in order to have an erection and participate in.intercourse, the woman can physically participate in intercourse regardless of her state of excitement.Your indication that you do not enjoy intercourse leads me to believe that you are probably not verysexually excited during relations. Tenseness and a lack of vaginal secretions can easily result in apainful experience when a woman attempts sexual intercourse without excitement. Orgasm becomesimpossible. Painful intercourse and lack of climax can also result when excitement- is present, but poortechnique and haste before relations begin, prevents adequate physiological and emotional preparationfor orgasm. The technical part of your question was easy to answer, but the real issue is how to dealwith your relationship with your fiance. You might consider sharing your feelings and concerns aboutintercourse with him. It takes quite a while for most people to feel at ease and enjoy sexual relations.Many couples find that sexual, relations are more satisfactory for both when it is mutually desired andthe emotional and physical aspects of a relationship are fully understood. Many unmarried couplesengage in sexual intercourse, others prefer not to. The key to a successful relationship in this areadepends more upon mutual understanding than it does on what is done or not done. Sexual Expressionin Marriage by Donald W. Hastings, M.D., Bantam Books, provides an excellent discussion of sexualtechnique. Ira Reiss's Premarital Sexual Standards in America, Free Press, paperback providesinteresting reading along a different line. Question: I am almost 19 years of age and have notexperienced nocturnal emission ("Wet dream"). Is there something wrong with me? Answer: Wetdreams are much less common or completely absent in a man who masturbates regularly or is havingregular sexual intercourse. Since almost all men past early adolescence are doing one of the other orboth, I assume you fall into this group. Ninety-nine per cent of men can't be wrong!

Everett Jensen said at a discussion with local clergy at the Campus ChristianMinistry last week.:.; Jensen said the Abortion law of 1908 was passed primarily for protection of themother against abortions of any kind because of the archaic medical practices of the day. "The state isencroaching upon an ill definition of abortion and forcing it upon the people," he said. At present,Washington's law allows abortions only if the mother's life is in danger. Jensen said the cries of murderfrom opponents of Referendum 20 is unconstructive emotionalism and blocks any rational discussion ofthe issue. Jensen is general secretary of the Washington State Council of Churches.

This is in no small way due to an excellent recruiting effort on thepart of Long last spring. Because of it Western is not having to overcome a sheer manpower disadvantage as in past years. But the Viking's football fortunes are to an extent being underminded by the programwithin which it exists. One area is coaching. This year the Viking football coaching staff has only threemembers. Assisting'Long are one full-time assistant and a graduate assistant. Such a situation is absurdconsidering the number of athletes involved. Of the eight Evco schools, the average football coaching staff consists of five members. Every school except Western has at least three full-time assistants. EasternWashington tops the Evco with a total of eight coaches on its football staff. Central has six, OregonCollege five, Southern Oregon five, Whitworth five, Eastern Oregon four and Oregon Tech four. But acoaching deficiency is not the only roadblock facing Viking football. Hampering recruiting are a number of factors that do not affect other Evco schools. For example Western's entering freshmen must have a 2.5grade point average in high school. Other Evco schools have entering freshman g.p.a. requirementsranging from 2.25 down to 2.0. Also due to booming enrollment Western's new policy barring out-of-statestudents adds yet another disadvantage. Another problem is that a junior varsity football program is non-existant at Western, due mostly to the fact of an inadequate staff. Another liability is that of not having afull-time trainer. Certainly graduate assistants and students handling the job do their best, but lack oftime and experience on their part make for an extremely poor situation for a college-level football program. Against some non-conference opponents even greater obstacles must be overcome. For example Simon Fraser conducts regular spring football workouts and has many players on athletic scholarships. It hasbeen factors such as these that have contributed to Western's sharing in only three conference titlessince the league was formed in 1948. In that time the other three schools in the Evco since its formation(central, Eastern, Whitworth) have won at least four outright titles and tied for another. Certainly winningis not the basic end of an educationally-oriented athletic program. But the program should at least provide some measures by which winning can be possible. If the football program at Western is going to be runonly to compete then it should be put down to the intramural level where it belongs. For many of the other values which athletics can teach, are lost in the context within which football now exists at Western. It is neither fair to the athletes or the coaches involved. w By BOB TAYLOR Football is a game full of allkinds of odysseys. For instance, the traditional dog on the field, or a scene that happened two years agoin the Orange Bowl. Kansas was battling Penn State in the game. On the next to last play of the game,Kansas got caught with 12 men on the field, which is against the rules. It didn't matter too much as Penn State scored the winning touchdown. Last Saturday a similar occurrence happened in Pullman, in theWSU-Stanford game. However this time, it wasn't a player for either team, although as things turned out,there may be a man hunt out to get this person. From the UPI comes this story of a WSU fan, whobecame tired of watching Stanford roll point after point up on the scoreboard, and decided to dosomething about it. His target was Stanford's Eric Cross. Cross had just sprinted 25 yards untouchedand was approaching the WSU goal-line. The fan, unable to contain himself any longer, jumped out of the stands and nailed Cross with a pretty good tackle at the five yard line. Cross, momentarily stunned,regained his senses and scored. The fan was last seen escorted from the game by some police officers.However, because of circumstances (WSU losing 63-16), there may be a man-hunt to recruit this vicioustackle for the WSU team. * * * Off the Bench had a pretty good week, prediction wise, hitting nine out of 10.

After two weeks, Off theBench has hit on 72 per cent of its predictions (Football.scores; see page 11 J. ...._.,.. torn Wigg (44),Western's hard-running fullback, gets blocking from Ken Knuckey (75) and Mark Schroeder (64). Western Falls to UPS, 34-14 The University of Puget Sound (UPS) Loggers, capitalizing on Viking turnovers withsparkling play by quarterback Bob Cason, defeated Western 34-14 Saturday night at Civic Stadium.Three Western fumbles in a rain-drenched first quarter paved the way for the Loggers as they sped to a20-0 lead in the first eleven minutes of play. After losing a fumble on the UPS 45 yard line, the Vikingsfound themselves on their own three yard line on a subsequent Logger punt. There, fullback Tom Wigg's fumble was recovered by UPS linebacker Roy Bogrand on the two. The Loggers wasted no time asfullback John Garland carried it over and Jaap Van Erk kicked his first of four extra points. Westerncouldn't muster an attack on the ensuing kickoff and punted out to their own 49. It took the Loggers onlyfive plays to score their second touchdown as Cason tallied on a 20-yard sprint. Again the Vikings foundthe football hard to handle as Wigg fumbled to the Logger's Dave McKim on the first play fromscrimmage following the UPS kickoff. The Loggers covered the 27 yards in five plays as Cason took itover from the one for a 20-0 lead as Van Erk missed the point after. In the second quarter Westernmounted a comeback as they marched 46 yards in 11 plays for their first touchdown as QuarterbackGlenn Hadland replacing starter Steve Johnson, plunged over from the 1. Lance Wilson kicked the extrapoint. The drive was set up on a pass interception by safety Vic Randall, the twentieth of his career.Four minutes later the Vikings were on the scoreboard again as Wigg took a Hadland screen pass 17yards for the TD. The score was made possible by freshman Jody Miller, who electrified the crowd of3,500 with a 67-yard punt return to the UPS 17 yard line. Wilson's kick put the Vikings on the short endof a 20-14 score at halftime. The third quarter and much of the fourth proved to be a fierce defensivebattle. Western has numerous opportunities to score on two fumble recoveries by linebacker Mark Venn and interception by half-back Kevin Halliburton. Venn's first recovery came on the UPS 17 yard line. The Vikings got to the 10 where Wilson missed a field goal attempt. The second recovery by Venn was onthe UPS 38, but it too went for nothing as the Vikings failed to make a first down on a fourth and inchessituation. With eight minutes remaining in the contest Bogrand intercepted a Hadland pass on theWestern 49 yard line. r' By PAUL MADISON In six plays Cason directed the Loggers into the end zone, firing a 13-yard touchdown to end Dan Johnson. The last Logger score came with only 26 seconds leftas Cason capped a 70-yard drive, throwing another TD pass to Bill Hecker of 8 yards. In all UPS had 354 yards in total offense to Western's 202. Cason completed 11 of 18 passes for 118 yards and rushedanother 86 for 204 total yards. Garland rushed 93 yards in 27 carries for the Loggers while Heckercaught 5 passes for 45 yards and Mark Ross three for 42 yards. Western's Hadland was held to only 79yards passing as he completed 7 of 14. Wigg caught 3 for 31 yards and Neil Crawford 2 for 30 yards.Wigg rushed for 62 yards in 21 carries and halfback Rob Lonborg 35 yards in 12 attempts. DefensivelyVenn turned in an outstanding game for the Vikings. Besides two fumble recoveries, the juniorintercepted a pass and was in on 22 tackles. Tackle Jim Kleitsch did a fine job for the Logger "stop"squad.

LEE MARVIN "MONTEWALSH A CINEMA CENTER FILMS PRESENTATION A NATIONAL GENERAL PICTURES RELEASEPANAVISI0N»and TECHNICOLOR- \GP\ lt;@ Feminine Physicist Joins Faculty A new form hasbeen added to the Physics department in the person of Miss Margaret Herz. For the first time thedepartment has a woman instructor. Originally from Chicago, the 27-year-old Miss Herz expects toreceive her Ph.D. in astrophysics within the next few months. Commenting on her unique position in thedepartment Miss Herz said, "It's okay. I'm used to being in the minority." Presently teaching a lecture101 course in Physics and four labs, she is tentatively planning to teach an Astronomy course nextquarter. Miss Herz chose Physics because it appeared the most elemental and basic of sciences. •"I like astrophysics because it takes in almost all fields of physics," she explained. On a broader scope, Western's physics department is looking ahead to the 1970-71 academic year. Dr. R. McLeod, physics department chairman, recently explained the philosophy of the physics department in relation to thephysics 101 program. "Our responsibility is to the institution and the student not the department," Dr.McLeod explained. "Our basic problem is to ensure quality teaching at the introductory level," heemphasized. Some 900 students are currently enrolled in Physics 101 and Dr. McLeod predicts some2300 students will have taken the course by the end of the school year. "Students are scared to death of Physics," McLeod said. He believes 75 per cent of the students wouldn't take the course if they didn'thave to. Yet he sees a New Education Masters Degree A master of education with a major in adulteducation administration is being offered through the graduate school at Western. Primary emphasis inthe program is placed on institutional development, administrative techniques, adult learning theory, and - curriculum planning and programming. Western is now offering a graduate program to prepareprofessionals for careers in in-service training in business, industry and government; community serviceand adult education programs with libraries, museums, voluntary organizations, public schools,community colleges_ and YMCA/YWCA; governmental agencies; and college and university ' continuing education divisions. Applications are invited from persons with a bachelor degree and a minimum of 3.0grade average during the last year of undergraduate study and at least a 2.5 grade point average overall.A limited number of graduate assistantships, scholarships and grants are available. Further informationcan be obtained from the department of continuing studies. basic grasp of physics as elemental inunderstanding the basic structure and movement of life. "We want to give the student a generalunderstanding of the principles of physics so he can become better informed on the world he lives in,"Dr. McLeod stated. "Now we are trying to get the student so they aren't afraid of physics, so they'llconsider it^.We spend the first two weeks getting the students to feel comfortable in class," he said. He tentatively posed several reasons for student apprehensions about physics. Students usually have nogreat familiarity with physics he said. They have a picture of a terribly advanced and mathematicalscience McLeod explained. The philosophy of the physics program is not to convert students to physics major but merely to give them a basic understanding of the science and relate it to their everyday world. "We could put our 900 students in one auditorium and cut labs," he pointed out. "If this was done thedepartment could gain 100 hours of instruction; yet we could still claim the same number of credit hoursand shift instructors into research to get their instructor hours," he hypothesized. Though such a change would allow more research and time with graduates, Dr. McLeod is against that approach. He believesthe greatest concentration should be on the undergraduate student who is taking introductory physicsand needs a basic understanding of the course as part of his liberal education. Phantom PiperMysterious bagpipe music coming from the woods has the bonnie lads and lassies on upper campusshaking in their kilts. The music was reported to be heard "echoing" through the woods. So far thesource of the music hasn't been located causing one student to comment, "It must be a spook." Firstreports of the Phantom Piper (as the player is now called) was brought to the Front's attention twoweeks ago. The reports were dismissed as bad weed or hysteria. But Jeff Foss, a Highland Hallresident, says he isn't (and wasn't) hysterical and calmly stated, "I've heard The Phantom Piper play."Armed with nothing but Scottish nerve, Foss has formed a one man task force to find the Phantom."First, two other bagpipe players tried to draw the Phantom out with their music," Foss said. Althoughthe pipers played until the wee hours "they didn't have much luck." Not one to give up easily, Foss andtwo volunteers set out one Friday evening to track down the Phantom. "We heard the music coming from the woods," Foss said, "but when we got close the music seemed to drift away. Pretty freaky, huh?"Whether it's "pretty freaky" or not, Foss said the search will continue. "Until we find the Phantom or themusic stops." "The whole thing reminds me of the old snipe hunts I used to go on," one upper classmansaid when asked for a comment about the Phantom. VV y y y y gt; gt;• yy •» yy yy ^.yy .y^ gt; ' A/.W.

Show more1977_0111 ---------- Western Front - 1977 January 11 - Page 1 ---------- Three bills will increase tuition for colleges by HARRY McFARLAND OLYMPIA — Three bills, increasing tuition, will be sent to the House Higher Education Committee by the Citizens' Task Force on Tuition.The task force, headed by Representative Peggy Maxie (D-Seattle), discussed the bills, declining torecommend any. Instead they passed along individual concerns expressed by the members of the taskforce. Draft legislation H-244 would set tuition at twenty-five per cent of the cost of instruction. The rateswould be calculated each ensuing biennium, based on data collected by the Council on PostsecondaryEducation. The bill would also establish a Permanent Advisory Committee on Student Financial Aid.Members of the committee would be financial aids officers and students from the state colleges,universities and community colleges. It would be established within the CPE. Forty per cent of tuition and fees could be waived for students enrolled in programs designated by the CPE as "manpower shortage areas." The average wage of Washington state workers would be the basis for tuition under draftlegislation H-245. For example, tuition for the 1977 to 79 biennium would be determined by the averagewage of fiscal year 1976. The last proposed tuition bill, H-246, would set tuition at $193.10 per quarter forresident students and $468.40 for non-resident students at the three state colleges, Western, Easternand Central. University of Washington resident students would pay $218.20 and non-resident studentswould pay $536.20. Resident students at Washington State University would pay the same as UWresidents, while non-resident students would pay $526.20. The bill would also establish the financial aidcommittee and an Office of Tuition Adjustment within the CPE. The office would determine three rangesof parental and student income which would correspond to percentage reductions in tuition. One member of the task force said none of the bills would generate the revenue designated by Governor Daniel Evansas needed to fund higher education, but H-244 (cost of instruction bill) would generate the most.Members expressed some skepticism at setting up the Office of Tuition Adjustment within the CPE. One said it seemed that a "Super Board of Regents" was being established. The Citizens' Task Force onTuition was established last year by Maxie in order to find the most equitable way to charge tuition.The CPE completed a massive study on tuition this past year and came up with the cost of instructionstandard for assessing tuition. WESTERN front TUESDAY, TANUARY 11, 1977 VOL. 69 NO. 18 Grantreceived for Lummi class by SANDY CATT . Educational opportunities offered by Western will sooninclude a communications class on the Lummi reservation, following receipt of - a $9,000 grantannounced by College President Paul Olscamp. The pilot program, designed by Pete Steffens,journalism department acting chairman, and Willie Jones, Lummi tribe communications director,received its initial funding last Thursday from the Gannett Foundation. The foundation recentlyestablished a policy of supporting programs to develop communications skills of minorities uT thestate. After learning of the foundation's policy, Steffens contacted different minority groups in theNorthwest about the desirability of a communications class. Jones responded and the two menplanned a class. The foundation responded to Steffens' idea with the check. Jones said this class willhelp a large number of people, enabling them to prepare better copy for the tribe's newsletter. He also anticipates an increase in the newsletter's circulation, into Bellingham, after the class. "I'm really gladwe got the opportunity to get the grant," Jones said. Steffens, who has had experience teachingminorities, will teach the class. "Part of the meaning of life is to do things for other people. Part of thatmeaning for a teacher in the Northwest is to teach Indian people what they want to know," Steffens said. ' The ten-week course, called Communications I, will meet twice a week, starting Jan. 24. Classenrollment will be about 15. Jones said students will be from the newsletter staff, the Lummi School ofAquaculture, the youth coordinator and others who are interested in getting news in the newsletter.Studies will include general news and feature writing, public relations releases, grant writing andofficial reports writing. "We're really looking forward to the class because it will upgrade the paper,"Jones said. He also said there is wide recognition that native Americans feel the need to developthemselves in writing. He regrets that the American Indian Press Association has not been able to domore in this area for the Indian peoples. Steffens feels this class may act as a model for theassociation, enabling them to develop similar programs for other Indian communities. "I'm reallyinterested in developing newswriting classes for Chicanos and Natural Americans," he said. "Theopportunities for Blacks have developed but there were other groups that were left behind." insideMt. Baker sees skis at last.

Photo by Bill Slater ---------- Western Front - 1977 January 11 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, January 11, 1977 Many put out by power shortage I FOUK/D IT by CLAYHARTL The recent power shortage at Western brought quite a few dorm residents closer together.Mostly they were little groups of people who fell down the stairs together. Shouts of "Matches!" and"Candles!" echoed down the halls and passageways. The quest for light brought out the criminalinstincts in many people as they stole the candles from Saga after the romantic candlelight dinner,which turned out to be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and milk. Some people went to theextremes looking for light. Tales floated down about crazies dressed up in robes carrying candles and chanting weird things. The leader was carrying a flaming broom for a torch- It would be no surprise atall if numerous burnt brooms and mops are found in the days to come. There were a few casualties, ofcourse. The ice on the ground and new frost caused many slips and falls. Colds and flu ran rampant after the heat stopped working. One student, after taking the advice of a friend, filled a wine glass withrubbing alcohol and set it on fire for use as a torch. The wine glass started melting very quickly and herdesk was the scene of many little flash fires, all of which had to be beaten out with a rug. Many peoplerealized how dependent they were on electricity, especially after they realized that without electricitythere can be no music. The peaceful silence by the Ridge-way dorms was a definite pleasure to many,after the usual deafening music. The power loss caught many people with their pants down, literally.This reporter, and probably many others also, was reading a book in the bathroom when calamity struck. Frantic cries of "I can't find the goddamn paper!" permeated the initial silence. Although most peoplewere shocked or frustrated when the power loss first occurred, afterwards most agreed that we reallyneed a good power shortage once in a while, just to relieve the monotony. Mayor opposes liquor license, hopes crippled by GREG HOOFNAGLE Western's chances for a beer and wine service may be crippled by Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz's public announcement that he would oppose granting of liquor licensesto the college. Recently, SAGA Food Service and the Viking Union made joint application to theWashington State Liquor Control Board for Class A and Class C liquor licenses. Should the applicationgo through, beer and wine sales would begin in the VU Coffee Shop's Auxiliary Room. Proposed hoursfor the service are noon-7 p.m., weekdays. SAGA would manage the sales and ID checking. However,Hertz's statement struck fear in . some hearts. AS President Bruce. Ayers said from what he could tell"no liquor licenses get through when city hall opposes." The mayor gave several reasons for not wantingbeer and wine sales at Western. In a statement to the liquor board Hertz wrote: "I am opposed todecentralization of taverns or places that permanently serve alcoholic beverages, particularly in residential neighborhoods." Hertz referred to the college as "a prime residential area." The mayor also stressed hewas not trying to spite Western. His philosophy is preventing the spread of liquor sales throughoutneighborhoods. Several people were skeptical, however. VU Director Jack Smith calls Western"somewhat of a city within a city." He does not believe "a Evening shuttle service No longer free for riders The evening shuttle bus service between campus and the Mall is no longer free to students, due to the cost of chartering a bus. The $5,000 bill for the shuttle service was split last year by the AS andthe Parking and Transportation Commission, and the Commission can't afford to share the bill,according to R. G. Peterson, Director of Security. "Unless we charge a fee, we'd have to discontinue the shuttle service altogether. The college community of over 10,000 people concentrated on a campuscan be considered a residential neighborhood." Smith explained that such areas, defined for zoningpurposes, do not offer multi-unit and high-rise living complexes, office space for over a thousandemployes, performance facilities, a bookstore, conference facilities, restaurants and so on. Hertz alsonoted that 40 per cent of Western's student population is under drinking age. Ayers, however, flipped thecoin and said that over 7,000 people on campus are of drinking age. The mayor worried that BellinghamPolice Department efforts to curb serious juvenile drinking problems would be harmed by exposing"approximately 3,680 juveniles to open drinking on campus . . . " (Note: Apparently, the mayor meantthere are about 3,680 Western students under drinking age. Since a juvenile in Bellingham is generallysomeone under 18, there are only about 145 on campus.) Chief of Police Terry Mangan did not saywhether he supported a beer and wine service for Western, but he did state that his "primary concern islocal high school students." He could recall no major drinking hassles with Western students. That, hesaid, was Western campus security territory. Robert G. Peterson, head of campus security, saidcampus drinking problems were minimal. In fact, he has not given the liquor license application muchthought. "It's not that big an issue," he said. ' Ayers agreed. "Having beer and wine is not a big emotional issue," he said. "We're not asking for a pub and we've imposed upon ourselves very restrictive hours."Both Ayers and Smith called the proposed liquor service a very low-key operation. They also believeWestern's application is unique because it is not asking for pub hours, but for limited weekday service.Ayers said that Eastern Washington State College applied for liquor licenses, wanting a campus pub.The licenses were not granted. "We're not asking for what other people are asking for," he said. WhileWestern may not be looking for a pub, it does want a regular beer and wine service. Currently, liquor isavailable only on an irregular basis with banquet permits. College President Paul Olscamp, VicePresident for Student Affairs C.W. "Bill" McDonald, and the AS have all approved Western's liquorlicense request. However, if the liquor board shows signs of issuing the A and C licenses, Hertz hasasked for a public hearing. He suggests that Bellingham citizens would oppose issuance, 2-to-l. Parking and Transportation monies are for parking lots," said Peterson. Peterson said a poll showed studentsare willing to pay to ride the shuttle, which originally started on a trial basis as a result of studentconcern about night time assaults on women in the campus area. Students seem to be taking thechange good-naturedly. As one bus rider said, "It was nice having it free, but it's still cheap. I'd ride mybike but I ran't take theso hills," / / •;'^ftSCUT ABOVE pEQiyiE.TFJ.^AIR CUTTING FOR MEN WOMEN '•\. gt;-s' .\.JvAmL\.

The increases recommended by the council give Western a 10 per cent increase, butWestern, as an individual institution, will ask the state legislature for another 4.5 per cent to sufficientlycover cost-of-living increases and consumer prices. The council had originally recommended a 13.9 percent increase for the cost of living at a cost of $71.7 million. The increase was based'on a seven-statesurvey of institutions with similar economies. A problem of salary equalization arose. In the seven-statesurvey average, some institutions' faculty salaries were above the average and Veterans Administrationsays: some were below. Western was 5.6 per cent below this seven-state average. The governor'sbudget for higher education stands at $1.2 billion, including his 12 per cent recommended increase forfaculty salaries. The budget stands at $728.5 million excluding faculty increases. Included in the budgetis a financial aid recommendation and a tuition increase. A report on House Floor Resolution 66 (HFR66), "Budgeting and Expending of Services and Activities Fees," was also discussed by the council. Areview of this discussion will be reported at a later date. A fall enrollment report showed that enrollment is down from 1975 to 76 in state colleges, universities, community colleges and private institutions. "Hie number of high school graduates has greatly affected enrollment, as has community college transfers. Enrollment of community college transfers has remained essentially the same at Western. There hasbeen a decline in veteran enrollment but an increase in women enrollment, where there is potentialincrease of women graduate students. Part time enrollment has remained relatively constant in mostcolleges but "the .number of baccalaurate-bound students will be down dramatically in the 1980s,"according to Denis Curry, member of the council staff presenting the material and statistics. "Totalenrollment has been affected," he said, "because the social need for college has been changed due tothe options after high school of which there are a wide variety. Dr. Smiley Obituary No pay for non-punitive grades by MICHAEL WHITTEN The Veterans Administration has issued new regulations whichdo not allow the VA to pay for courses in which a non-punitive grade is received unless there aremitigating circumstances. The new legislation became effective December 1, 1976. Non-punitivegrades are those that are not counted toward graduation requirements or are not computed in thestudent's grade point average. While the VA will not necessarily reduce benefits if a student receivesan "F" under the regular grading system, they will possibly reduce or terminate benefits retroactively foran entire quarter if a student receives a grade of "NP". In the past, if a veteran dropped a class involving enough credits to affect his benefits, the VA would reduce or terminate benefits only from the date ofwithdrawal. The new regulations are such that benefits are likely to be affected for the entire quarter,retroactively. The entire quarter will be involved unless the veteran can prove to the VA that mitigatingcircumstances were involved in the course drop or school withdrawal. These circumstances, such asillness or financial problems that keep a student from attending class, are those beyond the control ofthe student. "Veterans should not necessarily avoid the Pass/Fail system but they should be aware of what could happen if they receive a NP" grade," VA representative Jeremy Stamden said. TheRegistrar has recommended that all veterans avoid the Pass/Fail system. Veterans who receive anincomplete will have one quarter to complete the class. The VA will contact any student who receivesa non-punitive grade and request any mitigating circumstances prior to reduction of payments backto December 1, 1976, or the beginning of a term. Stamden also announced that effective October 1,1976 maximum benefits were increased to 45 months for veterans with over one and a half yearsactive duty. Memorial services for Dr. Sandra S. Smiley, associate professor of psychology atWestern, were held Dec. 12, at St. James Presbyterian Church. She died Dec. 2 of cancer. Dr. Smiley,34, joined Western's staff in 1969 and was promoted to associate professor with tenurein 1974. Inaddition to her extensive research in the area of child development and psychology, she taught coursesin general psychology, child development and cognitive development. She is survived by herparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smiley of Cardiff, California; a sister, Priscilla Tragesser of Bellingham; a brother, Lt. Phil Smiley in the U.S. Navy; and three sisters in California, Ar-dith, Faye and Julie Smiley. She was recently conducting research in the areas of reading and memory, and has reports that areyet to be published. DISLIKE DENTISTRY?

J. ---------- Western Front - 1977 January 11 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, January n , iv// opinion l THOUGHT \ftt \tfR£ Mayor has doubts; draught ordrought? If we* are to believe Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz, Western students are not able to handlebeer and wine maturely. Plans for serving beer and wine in the Viking Union's Coffee Shop AuxiliaryRoom and in ala carte dining areas were dealt a near death blow when Hertz publicly announced hewould oppose granting of class 'A' and *C liquor licenses to Western. Hertz stated there were adequatedrinking establishments in Bellingham. Western, however, is not trying to form "another drinkingestablishment." As explained in Western's application to the Washington State Liquor Board, beer andwine would only be served from noon to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. The times speak for themselves:There would be no pub, there would be no night and weekend sales of booze, there would hardly be anydrinking problems. Furthermore, how does one determine whether Bellingham has "adequate" drinkingfacilities? Limits cannot really be set. New drinking places appear regularly in Bellingham and in mosttowns and cities. The reasons for wanting a liquor license are simple. First, many students like wine withtheir meals. Second, academic interaction is more relaxed and often more effective over a beer or two.Finally, Western offers a plethora of services — conveniently. Sale of beer and wine is an obviousexception; one has to go all the way downtown for that. Hertz complains of the 3680 Western studentswho are under drinking age. He seems to have forgotten nearly 5500 students who are of age, not tomention scores of professors, administrators and other school personnel. Many of these people coulduse a glass of wine or a schooner to unwind a bit during a busy day. However, they usually do not havethe time to head downtown. The mayor also fears efforts of the Bellingham Police Department to curbdrinking problems would be hurt. Yet, Chief of Police Terry Mangan says his department has had littletrouble with drunk Western students. His biggest headache is high schoolers. Even in the unlikely eventa noticeable drinking problem does occur at Western, it would be the concern of campus security, notthe BPD. Serving beer and wine on campus would have no major impact. It would be a handy service tothose of age. It would be restricted to daytime, weekday hours. It would take place in existingfacilitiestand adequate staffing through SAGA is available to check ID. It would not detract from profits ofdowntown drinking spots, whose biggest earnings come during evening and weekends. It would havevirtually no effect on BPD efforts to curb drinking hassles. Western, with all its services, is like a citywithin a city. Whoever heard of a city in which there was no beer or wine? — Greg Hoofnagle editorialPardon for war resisters long overdue In the past few years, Vietnam deserters and draft resisters havebeen branded criminals, banished and forgotten — simply for being correct about an immoral, incorrectwar. It appears now this injustice will be corrected. Whether it's Ford or Carter who enacts the pardon isunimportant — the pardon itself is long overdue. Ford's initial amnesty program for war resisters simplyhasn't worked. The fact that he is considering a blanket pardon is evidence of this. If Ford does grantamnesty to Vietnam war resisters, he will be ending his presidency on a positive note. If nothing else,Ford has done much to restore faith in government. If he enacts a pardon, he will further this. If Forddoesn't grant amnesty for the resisters, Carter almost certainly will. Carter promised to do so in the firstweek of his presidency during his campaign. By enacting a pardon, Carter would begin his presidencyon a strong note, perhaps setting the tone for the following days of his administration. Whether it's Fordor Carter doesn't matter. By pardoning Vietnam-era war resisters, Carter or Ford will be benefittingthemselves, the American people, and most importantly, the resisters. They've suffered too much forbeing right. compost by HARRY McFARLAND The Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) hasbeen designated in two bills to set up under its authority, a committee on financial aid. In one other bill, they will be authorized to organize an Office on Tuition Adjustment. One member of the Citizen's TaskForce on Tuition commented that the CPE might be a "Super Board of Regents." This seems to be out of the character in which the CPE was organized; when they were first conceived in 1969, the termdescribing their establishment was an advisory body. It did not take long for them (a nine-membercitizens' board of directors and a staff) to become a policy-making body for higher education in the state. They have not been a very popular body, but for some reason they gained more and more power.Setbacks for the CPE were small, until it proposed a tuition hike in 1973. At that time, a small group ofmavericks (radical student-rightists) fought with such intensith that the bill and its originators werehumiliated in hearings. (One CPE staffer, while trying desperately to defend the bill, remarked that hismother in Ohio supported the bill.) The mavericks were a group of students organized under the banner of Council of Representatives and Presidents (CORP), a group of community college students. It was thefirst time CPE recommendations had not been accepted by the legislators. Added to the Office of TuitionAdjustment and financial aids committee is a CPE staffer's remarks that an organization to standardizecourse equivalencies between community colleges, state colleges and universities, should beestablished. Where would this organization reside? In the CPE, of course. To many, especially studentleaders, there has come a time for the legislators to re-evaluate the role of the CPE. No one wants asuper-agency or super board of regents, not only taking away the individual decision powers of the statecolleges, universities and community colleges, but also grabbing some of the monies allocated forhigher education. As the money problem becomes critical for the state, one of the areas that will be toldto pull in its belt will be higher education. Some of the CPE decisions have been most disturbing toadministrators, student leaders and legislators alike. The 4-4 vote that killed the recommendations togive state colleges, excluding Evergreen State College, university status, was met with extremedisappointment last year. The evidence presented to the CPE in favor of university status wasoverwhelming, so much so that most of the opposition backed off. During Friday's meeting of the CPE, avote to recommend a 14 per cent faculty salary hike failed. An earlier 10 per cent recommendation bythe CPE was allowed to stand. Western administrators have indicated 4.5% more will be needed andwill take their ideas to the legislature, as if they needed more business to occupy their time. That 10 percent recommendation would keep Western faculty members below the CPE's much-quoted seven stateaverage. If the CPE is the super agency, then faculty, administrators and students are going to findthemselves in a very precarious position. When power moves up the ladder, everyone loses. It is very hard to run down to Olympia to express one's opinion, but that it what might have to be done. front staffEDITOR: Liz Verdier MANAGING EDITOR: Tori Bonneville NEWS EDITOR: Harry McFarland PHOTOEDITOR: Bill Slater ARTS ENTERTAINMENT: Don Creery SPORTS EDITOR: Dave MiltenbergerCOPY EDITORS: Bart Potter, Michael Whitten, Jim Harrison, Greg Hoofnagle.

The stoppage was due to theschools' assistant attorney generals' requests, after conferring with school officials. All participatingschools, except Western, were stopped from paying SCC dues. The SCC is a private, non-profitorganization formed to help solve student problems on a statewide basis. Eastern, Western and CentralWashington State Colleges, Washington State University and the University of Washington participate.A suit was recently instigated by the SCC to establish students' rights to have separate legal counsel indisputes with their schools. Students and their schools now have the same council because they bothcome under state jurisdiction. A legislative liaison has been hired by the SCC to represent students'interests in this year's legislative session. Richard Montecucco, assistant attorney general, stateeducation division, said the schools' dues were stopped on the basis of a decision made four to five years ago. At that time, the attorney general's office decided in the case of a community college organizationthat if its primary function was to lobby, the use of state funds for that organization was improper. Thecommunity college group demonstrated lobbying was not its primary function, a demonstration that theSCC has not made, according to Montecucco. The basic reason the dues were stopped at Central,according to Steve Milam, its assistant attorney general, was because it appeared the purpose of theSCC was to lobbby. Milam feels the burden of proof is on the SCC, "I don't believe they have provided any evidence, [to the contrary] at least I haven't seen any." Bruce Ayers, Western associated studentspresident, feels the attorney general's office is using an arbitrary decision, based upon its owninterpretation of the activities of the SCC. "SCC is an effective organization and I think we have effectivepeople working against us," Ayers said. He said the SCC is attempting to convince the schools'assistant attorney generals that the blocking of the dues was wrong. According to Ayers, the SCC isdealing with issues that are important to students: collective bargaining, students' involvement in thedistributions of fees and the right to representation. He said he feels the burden of proof does not reston the SCC, but on the officials which ruled the dues improper. Sue Meyers, AS secretary-treasurer and SCC secretary, feels the ruling is an effort to destroy the SCC. "I don't think they have a lot to stand on,but it's a delaying tactic," she said. Western's dues were not stopped because unlike the other schools,Western's associated students have their own checking account and the check was received by the SCC before officials were aware of the attorney general's decision. Montecucco said that if the primaryfunction of the SCC was lobbying, then Western had made an improper expenditure and there would beah attempt to get the money from SCC. Trustees get budget.Olscamp gives views Trustees confident byJIM HARRISON Governor Dan Evans' recommended 1977-79 biennial budget was received withmixed feelings at Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting. College President Paul Olscamp spoke forseveral minutes outlining his appraisal of the budget and expressing dissatisfaction with some of itsprovisions, including instructional allotments. Among other things, the budget includes faculty salaryadjustments of 12 per cent and an increase in annual undergraduate resident tuition and fees from$507 to $615 or from the current $169 per quarter to $205 per quarter. Olscamp criticized thegovernor's recommendations in the area of instruction, saying they were inadequate to meetWestern's needs for the biennium. The recommended increases in both faculty staffing andoperations support funds for instruction fell short of what the college had asked for. "While [theincrease] represents an improvement in support funds, it is insufficient to meet our needs as support dollars have steadily declined in terms of buying power," said the Business and Financial Affairs officein its analysis of the recommended budget. Olscamp concluded his remarks on faculty salaries bybai'bai'iaiv HAIR IMPROVEMENT CENTER 1513 12th St. fa Bellingham (f 671-1725 9-* Tues SatUIDAL SASSODN Retail Center Current Hairstyles for Men and Women 10% off For all WWSCStudents adding that budget provisions in that area are almost exclusively concerned with value-of-the- dollar adjustments and tend to ignore quality of job performance/"In no place do you hear;Faculty workhard, do a good job and deserve a raise on the basis of merit,' " he said. With Governor Evans leavingoffice this month, the influence his recommendations will have on the final budget is unclear. "There is no indication of Governor-elect Ray's reaction to the higher education budget recommendations nor havethere been any specific comments from the legislative*lead-ership about the higher educationsection of the proposed budget," said Business and Financial Affairs in its budget analysis.

Instead of an altar rail, an oak-topped bar now stretches across the front of this space. To oneside, where the confessionals were located, is a kitchen. And when some of the local patrons go to usethe restrooms, they retrace the steps they took years before as altar boys, disappearing into the vestry.Behind the bar, near where the pulpit stood, Joe and Colleen Sheare move quietly back and forth, 'notsermonizing, just serving beer and conversation to their customers. The Sheares opened the Holy Smoke Tavern in the old St. Peter's Catholic Church near Kendall on Oct. 15 of last year, "after one-and-a-halfyears of fighting to get it open." Kendall is a small community in the foothills of Mt. Baker, about 20 miles east of Bellingham. lt; According to Mrs. Sheare, opposition to their venture came not from members of St. Peter's, but from other churches. The former owners sold the Sheares the land and building with theunderstanding they could do with it as they liked, she said. Several people who attended the church arenow customers of the tavern, and the priest stops in now and then, she reported. Several years ago, themembers of the congregation built a larger, more modern building on a new site, and the old church waseventually sold to the Sheares. In recent years, the once-isolated and unlikely spot for a tavern has come to be surrounded by recreational land developments. Mrs. Sheare estimates that 60 per cent of theirbusiness comes from Canadians — most of whom own lots in the developments. The other 40 per centcomes from permanent local residents. Inside, the building is quite small and still looks pretty much likea church, except for the bar and the two pool tables that occupy what was once the center aisle. Whenanother old country church was sold recently, the Sheares bought the pews, which were the originalpews of St. Peter's, built in 1910. They cut them in half and placed them back to back along each wallwith tables in between. Colleen Sheare proudly calls attention to a symbol of customer support — themoney wheel. Up on the wall behind the bar, directly in front of where the altar stood, is a circle ofbanknotes, like a fan of cards. Mrs. Sheare tells the story of how an early supporter signed a dollar billfor good luck and told them to put it up on the wall. Since then, many customers have followed suit. Now the wall is decorated with currency from several countries, including Scotland, Japan, Germany andAustralia. "There's so much luck and love up there that this place couldn't fail if it tried," Mrs. Sheare said on Christmas Eve.

Avenue Preezeout — by STEVE ADAMS After 2million albums, the world takes to Heart 1976 was a good year for many, but any time you can go fromplaying taverns to huge halls, and selling over 2 million albums and over 1 million singles in a year, you'vehad a fairly good year. So it was for the Seattle band known as Heart. "The story is a bit phenomenal,"said the group's manager, Ken Kinnear, from his Albatross Productions office in Seattle. After selling over 45,000 albums in Canada and having three top ten singles, no major U.S. Label was willing to gamble onthe group. So their label, Mushroom Records, began pushing the album, "Dreamboat Annie," in Seattle.New sci-fi book old stuff HEART — One of the biggest surprises in music world for 1976. "The major FMstations, KISW, KZOK, and KZAM all gave the album a good deal of airplay and that generated the hugeamount of sales," Kinnear said. Record store owners throughout the greater Seattle area couldn't keepenough Heart albums on their shelves as people began picking up the band. From then on it was a breeze as national airplay was given to the infectious first single released in the U.S., "Crazy On You." Later, at a New Year's Eve party at the Pipeline Tavern in Seattle, several of the band on vacation over the holidays talked with enthusiasm about the success. "It took a long time, but we finally made it. Next year isgoing to be even bigger I think," the group's lead guitarist, Roger Fisher, said. 'Next year' is a 1977 tourof the world, as the group will start in Japan and eventually cover the rest of the globe before 1978. Before the holidays they were in Europe. Everyone knows that one album doesn't make a solid foundation in the fast-changing music world, and Heart knows that. "The next album is going to be dynamite, you watch.We're feeling out a couple of studios here in Seattle for possibly laying down some vocal and guitartracks, right now," Mike Fisher, Roger's brother and the group's soundman said. Heart's second albumwill be entitled "Heartless," and will be released tentively in late February. The album has taken almost ayear to complete, with "Dreamboat Annie" producer Mike Flicker producing again.

In the introduction, Gunn says that he will, in futurereferences, call his book AW, pronounced "awe" ... it should be AW as in "aw-shucks." Anyoneexpecting to find a literate treatment of major themes and developments in the field of science fiction willfind themselves tantalized to the point of rising interest only to be jilted, just at the point of fulfillment, so the author can run away with a traveling salesman. I refer to the middle chapters of the book, dealingwith the 1920's through mid-sixties. This forms a major portion of the book, but consists chiefly of adroning reference guide to obscure publications and publishers, replete with dates and lists ofstories, the significance of which are rarely pointed out. Lessons offered Fairhaven College is offeringprivate music instruction this quarter to all Western students, beginners included, according toLaurence Kee, Fair-haven faculty member. "We are offering a unique package of instruction incontemporary music that ranges from private lessons in voice, piano, guitar, flute and otherinstruments, through professional training in recording production in our new 4-track recording studio,"Kee said. Kee, an independent record producer and recording engineer, said that the facilities aregreat for recording demo tapes of groups and student songwriters, and for learning the technology ofart of professional recording. Students interested in the Fairhaven music program should see Kee atthe studio in the Fairhaven main building, or contact the Fairhaven registrar at 676-3698 for registrationinformation.

Gunn wastes a good deal of space at the beginning of the book proselytizing to thealready converted in a discussion of how science fiction has entered the mainstream, but still worksup that aforementioned interest in some excellent chapters that trace science fiction themes fromancient Greece through Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. The most meaty material is when Gunn tells usthat he considers Heinlein (the John Wayne of science fiction, Van- Vogt (prince of illogicality),Sturgeon and Asimov to be the Big Four of science fiction. Despite the fuss he makes about sciencefiction as literature in the earlier chapters, such names as Ray Bradbury (the single most legitimizinginfluence in the field), Fritz Leiber, Henry Kuttner, Philip Jose Farmer and Roger Zelazny go by with barely a mention. The word illustrated should be more heavily stressed as the main appeal of this book.There are excellent reproductions of covers by such great science fiction illustrators as Hannes Bok,Em Emshwiller, Chesley Bonestell, Kelly Freas and others.

Two Ferndale men, Randy Permann, 29, and Bob King, 23, have opened a non-alcoholic nightclub in their town called the Music Factory.Previously, young people have had to be satisfied with high school dances or private parties if they wereunder legal drinking age. Permann and King want to offer them an alternative. In case those past high-school age fear the atmosphere might be teen-dominated, the partners give assurance that their clubwill provide all the entertainments of a nightclub or tavern, minus only the alcohol. "We'd like to see thecollege-age people come down," Permann told the Bellingham Herald recently. Permann said the MusicFactory will have live music on weekends and recorded music the rest of the week. There are pool tablesand electronic games. Hot sandwiches and other food items will be available as soon as they get apermit from the Health Department, he said. On opening day, just before Christmas, Permann was outworking in the cold, hurrying to finish last minute preparations. Inside, at least a dozen more people werebusy finishing the stage and working on the dance floor. The nightclub occupies a portion'of the oldCarnation plant on the outskirts of Ferndale and share the building with a fish-processing operation, akarate school and an alterations shop. With the help of friends and using some recycled materials suchas lumber and electrical conduit, Permann and King have managed to convert their section of the oldplant without making a major investment. Permann estimates they have put about $10,000 into theirventure so far. Improvements included sandblasting the interior and installing wiring and restrooms. Ashe measured and sawed a weathered board to be used as a handrail on the entrance porch. RonStiebach, Ferndale, takes his shot at the Music Factory, maybe a dance or some pinball later. Permanntalked about some of the things that led to the decision to open a non-alcoholic nightclub. Pleasanton,Cal., where he lived before he moved to Whatcom County a year ago, was "really bad for drugs," he said. The street drug PCP — also used as an animal tranquilizer — was "all over the place." The memory of that kind of life style and the obvious need in Whatcom County for alternative recreation andentertainment facilities for young people just naturally suggested the idea of a place like the MusicFactory. On opening night, the clientele was mostly young and mostly local. However, , the - collegecommunity was away for the holidays and unaware of the new nightclub. The band was energetic and the dancers seemed to be enjoying themselves, as well as those gathered around the pinball machines,their faces lit up by the flashing lights. Most seemed genuinely grateful to have this new source ofentertainment. One person suggested that people liked the freedom to come and go as often as theychose, once they had paid the $2 admission fee. co E E CO o CO 00 CO c a. CO JD CO oo LL CO Q JZ .2?

His down-to-earth manner belies thefrenzy of his performance, but even when talking quietly it is unclear if he has yet' stopped acting.Chumley bears a strong resemblance to another performer, calling himself the Flaming Zucchini, who hitWestern in years past. Aren't they one and the same? The Reverend claims, with just a touch of twinklein his eye, that Zucchini is his half-brother who disappeared in a ball of flame in Eugene, Ore., two yearsago and hasn't been heard from since. The incident took place at the Eugene Renaissance Fair before"2,000 peyote-stoned hippies." "He was always making an ash of himself," Chumley said of his 'half-brother.' "You don't believe he did it? There were 2,000 witnesses. They were all stoned, though."Chumley, whose real name is Michael ("that's as much as you'll get out of me"), started his travelingshow six-and-a-half years ago, when as a "starving actor," he decided that circus-vaudeville would have amore universal appeal. Since then he has performed solo and with various troupes. He has worked withseveral members of the Alligator Revue for more than two years. The Reverend is presently working toperfect his tightrope and trapeze acts, while the Revue is rehearsing the Robot Operetta, featuring aseven-foot robot that Chumley said took years to complete. The troupe's major project, however is an"epic, two-hour swords and sorcery operetta" with a woman hero, set in the future when the sun is dyingand citizens have reverted to medieval ways. Chumley is a self-ordained minister of uncertain doctrine("I could call it neo-paganism, but I won't") and has performed two weddings. "For me to marry a couplethey must believe that the minister has the spiritual power to join them, and consummate the marriagethat night," Chumley said. "In both cases the marriage was consummated long before the ceremony."Whether in his capacity as performer or minister, Chumley said, he and his troupe are available for"weddings, funerals, parties, bar mitzvahs, divorces and hangings." Following each of his Fridayperformances, Chumley urged the assembled crowd to toss timidity away and the contents of theirpockets to him. Response was fair, but the smattering of coins collected will hardly pay the bills. For that reason, Chumley is seeking more paid bookings. He's had some success — performing at the SeattleCenter and with novelist Ken Kesey — but he would like to make the Alligator Revue a household word. "You can't make a living hither and yon, passing the hat," the Reverend said, "so we're getting moreorganized. To make it as a performer in the capitalistic world, you have to be famous. We're gettinginfamous." Your calculus class is pushing you over the edge? The Reverend Chumley shows students what to do after those men in white era's arrive.

"Why do they always change instructors on me," she muttered.Behind her, another student punched his friend on the shoulder. "Hey, we aren't going to be stuck with'old monotone'." Every quarter, hundreds of Western students walk into classes expecting to beeducated, entertained or bored by professors whose names were printed in the final class schedule. Many of these students will discover the professor they've waited three years for has suddenlydisappeared, that the professor in the schedule has changed into a 24-year-old graduate student or thatthe 8 a.m. class they'd planned to sleep through is being taught by the most exciting professor oncampus. This quarter 198 classes will be taught by instructors who were not scheduled to teach them.Ten classes that were to be taught by faculty members will be taught by staff members, which oftenmeans graduate students. Western is not trying to cheat students, department chairmen said. It isjust that scheduling in June cannot take into account problems that arise in August or October. Houseand car workshop offered For those who feel helpless when confronted by a leaky faucet or a stubbornautomobile, Whatcom Community College offers its FOCUS on House and Car Care workshop. Thenine-week workshop will teach simple home and car repair. Classes begin Tuesday, Jan. 11, from 7 to9:30 p.m., at 3133 Bennett Drive, Belling-ham. Persons interested in the two-credit class may registeruntil Jan. 18 at a WCC instructional center, or at the first meeting. The cost is $5. "The less we haveto change our schedule, the better our program is," said Louis Barrett, chairman of the physicsdepartment. "Unfortunately, we do not know who will be on the staff until sometime in June. By then it is too late to report changes to the registrar." Hiring and resignations account for most of the schedulechanges. There are other reasons, though. Occasionally, a professor will take an overload for aquarter. When this happens the department chairman may reduce his load another quarter. A teaching assistant or another professor will teach a class for him that quarter. "A professor took an overload one winter quarter. She taught an extra night class that was needed, but not scheduled. Because ofthat her spring quarter load was reduced," said R.W. Chaney, chairman of the mathematics department. FOR RENT HEATHER RIDGE APARTMENTS: New unfurnished Deluxe Apts. on south side walking distance from cam-put. Full appl. including washer/dryer.

Sometimes the choice is between no class and a class taught by a graduate student or a local professional."Professionals from the community are often very good. They're also cheaper," said Pete Steffens,acting chairman of the journalism department. How can students avoid Tuesday morning surprises? Can teaching assistants and "uninspiring' professors be avoided? Students have several choices. They cantalk to the department chairmen or the professor scheduled to teach the class before the quarter starts. They can also check an updated schedule posted in the registration center at the beginning of each quarter. Security hunting for officer Western's Safety and Security Department is recruiting for a new campus police officer. According to the director, R. G. Peterson, the position opened following aninternal reorganization and reassignment of duties in the safety division of the department. Deadline for applications is January 17. Following submission of applications, individuals will be sent to theUniversity of Washington at department expense for various physical tests. Tests will include physical agility and coordination, circulatory recovery, body fat content, and physical strength. Petersonsaid the tests are evaluated according to the individual's body size and weight. "This way, a five footfemale has the same chance as a six foot, 250 pound male," Peterson said. Applicants passingthese tests will go before an oral board, the make-up of which has not been decided. Peterson said itwill probably consist of representatives from Whatcom County Sheriff's Department, Bellingham Police,and various agencies of the college. The oral board will send three finalists to Peterson to make the final choice. The person chosen will then be sent for a complete physical examination. If that person failsthis, one of the other two will be selected, until the position is filled.

The Viks downed Northern Montana 104-89 and NorthwestChristian College 63-33. Western opened conference play last Monday with a 72-70 loss to OregonCollege of Education in Monmouth, Ore. The 104-point output against Northern Montana was the bestoffensive showing by a Western team since the 1974-75 season when the Vikings beat SouthernOregon State College 107-72. In holding Northwest Christian to 33 points, the Viks had their bestdefensive performance since the 1962-63 season when they squelched St. Martin's College 45-23.Against Central, the Vikings came within a whisker of beating a team many figure to fight it out, alongwith Eastern and Oregon Institute of Technology, for the Evergreen Conference title. Western led theWildcats 40-31 at halftime, but separate Central spurts of 13-0 and 10-2 in the second half brought downthe Viks. The Vikings shot well in the contest, hitting 28 of 56 field goal attempts for 50 per cent. MonteBirkle led Western with 25 on 11-22 from the field, and added five assists. Dan Burch has 15 plus sixassists and Greg Smith hit for 15 along with seven rebounds. Western trailed Eastern by only 37-33 athalftime, but a blistering Eagle fast break, triggered by sharp outlet passing, broke the game open in thesecond half. Smith, with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Birkle, also with 18, led the Viking scorers.Randall was not displeased with his team's weekend showing, as the Viking showed strong reboundingand a maturity that was lacking in early season. "I figured we would have a pretty tough time at thebeginning with such a young team," he said. "But now we're over the hump and I look for a strong finish." The Viks, now 2-8 for the season, meet Eastern Oregon State College in Carver Gym Friday in their firsthome game since Dec. 1, after which 10 of Western's next 16 games will be at home.

With 6-6 forward Greg Smith the only returning starter from last year's 14-12team, it may be a rough, learning year for the Viks. Craig Ericksen and Velko Vitalich will lend somestability and in early Vik games transfers Dan Burch and Monte Birkle have contributed heavy offensivepunch. Freshmen Ron Strandin and Doug Creasey have seen much court time, but the youth may bemore a hope for the future than for a successful '76-77 campaign.

A survey of women athletes taken late last quarter revealed mostthought it was time for the change, many were not sure what it meant, and a few favored the traditionalVikette nickname. In answer to the question, "What do you think of the new women's athletic nickname,Valkyries?" the comments were: "I think it's weird." "Vikettes means it's just a women's. This givesus our own identity." "The first time I heard it, I couldn't pronounce it. But I got to thinking about it and Iliked it. I agree that it (Vikettes] is a feminized word for Vikings." "I liked it after I found out what itmeant. It grows on you. It sounds more feminine." "I don't like it, because I don't know how to say it.Title IX is screwing up everything. I don't like changes." "I don't think it's going to work because peoplemight think it's an outside team." "My high school nickname was Valkyries so that's why I knew what-itwas. They (Vikings and Vikettes) shouldn't be separate — they should be intermingled." "It would bebetter if everyone knew what it meant — it's hard to pronounce. I think it's a good change. After I thought about it, I knew it must be something female, but didn't know when I.first heard it." "I like the way itsounds 100 times better than Vikettes. It's different and I like that because we've got our own name now." "I'm very sad, it's breaking tradition." "Every time I read it I think it's a misspelled word." Three maleathletes also volunteered their comments: "I didn't know what the heck it was. Vikettes seems stupid tome. This makes the girls sound better. I think they should have their own identity." "I didn't pay anyattention to it." "I like Vikettes better. They should keep the name, like Cougar-Coiigarettes." (The termVikettes first appeared in th Front in March 1972 in a caption under a picture of a Western cheerleader at a men's basketball game.) Former Vik stars inducted in Hall Joe Moses and Steve Richardson, twostandout athletes from Western's sporting past, will be inducted into the Western Washington StateCollege Athletic Hall of Fame January 23 as part of the Whatcom County Sportsman-of-the-Yearbanquet activities. The twosome will join 12 other members of the jock elite — Norm Bright, SamCarver, Norm Dahl, , Fred Emerson, Chuck Erickson, Norm Hash, Charles Lappenbusch, BillMcDonald, Bruce Randall, Boyd Staggs, Bob Tisdale and Bill Wright. Joe Moses was an all-leaguechoice for four years as a member of the Viking basketball team from 1937-1941. Named to the Tri-Normal all-star team as a freshman, he made the All- Washington Intercollegiate Conference squad thenext three seasons after the school switched league affiliations. The 5-5 guard was team captain forthree years, and led the hoopers in assists each of those campaigns. Steve Richardson is the onlyplayer in the history of the Evergreen Conference to earn all-star honors on both offense and defense forthree straight years. The halfback was named to the first-team NAIA All-Am-erican squad in 1966, onthe basis of his 732 rushing yards, including a 217-yard four-touchdown outburst in one game. A four-year letterman, Richardson was also an All-EVCO outfielder in baseball, lettering three years in thatsport. In 1967, he was named WWSC Athlete-of-the-Year, and is only one of two football players tohave his jersey (no. 21) retired. Both men will receive a plaque and a lifetime pass to all Westernsporting events. The selection committee was made up on current Western athletic personnel and localmedia representatives. Eastern Washington State College The Eagles went undefeated last year inleague play and 21-4 for the season. Last year's EVCO Coach-of-the-Year, Jerry Krause, has twostandouts from last year's squad in All-EVCO, All-District, All-Northwest and third team Ail- AmericanRon Cox, a 6-6 center who averaged 20 points and 12 boards a game, and Ed Waters, a 6-1 guard wholed the loop in assists. Three other lettermen return from last year: Paul Hungenberg and Ray Palmer, 6-4 forwards, and guard Terry Pepple. Transfers Mike Heath, 6-5 forward; Eugene Glenn, 6-5 forward; andTim Smith, 5-11 guard should join last year's junior varsity standouts Jeff Miller and Tom Rife to securethe Eagles in the depth department. Freshmen Martin Harpole, Bob Gatlin, Terry Reed and Vic Whiteare being touted to contribute to Eastern's attempt for the District I title and an NAIA berth which eludedthem last year. This could be the Eagles' year, and if revenge motives could be translated into points,Eastern will beat all comers and Central for the beans.

Bring your Bible and a friend. by DAVE MILTENBERGER Well, it's all history. The Anti-Climactic Bowl hasbeen played and once again the American viewing public has gathered in eager anticipation only to betreated to a football game that would not be uncommon in a Sunday afternoon flag contest between OurLady of Perpetual Dilemma's and a collection of the First Avenue Winos. I looked forward to thecontest. All the pre-game reporting from the Rose Bowl city and the bets and the Super Bowl parodies on channel 5 and whether George Atkinson is a bad mother, and whether Carl Eller will have a hemorrhoidattack and who's got the cool uni's and all the just swell half-time activities and Vicki Carr belting out"America the Beautiful" and gee, my spine shivers just to think about it. But, invariably, the game turnsout to be a big letdown and one side generally does a good rip-tear job on the other. The only game thatsticks out as exciting was the Colts-Cowboys skirmish a few years back which saw Jim O'Brien boot afield goal with a few seconds remaining to give the Colts a 16-13 victory. The week before the "SuperBowl" seems to be one of the few times that the outcome of the game is seriously up in the air. SportsIllustrated has a field day with interviews, and all your buddies are either against your team, or they don'tlose much sleep over the outcome. Seems the concept of the game, a Mardi Gras, World Cup, Le Mans and "Raid on Entebbe" all rolled into one is what makes the game as popular as it is, with the contestitself somewhat tarnished as a result. What the hell. It's a good time if nothing else can be said about it.Check out those dudes in Clancy's in Oakland and the hotel lobby on the Registry hotel in Minnesota.Chuggin' the brew was a pretty big part of their Super Sunday. Some of those Oakland fans may behitting the Alka-Seltzer on Monday morning but they know that everyone had to "play with pain" to seethose Raiders fox-trot through the Vikings. Super Bowl XI has drawn to a close, much like a final curtainon a several act play. The game had its moments, but I'll take the AFC and NFC championship games ot a Western come-from behind heart stopper any day. Curt, Don and whoever that dude who gets off onVolares can have the Supernumerary Bowl. hobby hive arts, crafts and models downtown Bellingham111 E.

SecuritySgt. Andrew Rezansoff was checking the back side of the bookstore and found an open office window.At the same time, he saw a person walking rapidly away toward the Music Auditorium. Rezansoff calledto the youth and questioned him. "The kid's story sounded fishy," Security Lt. Lee Brown said, "soRezansoff called the Bellingham police, who are investigating the burglary." Brown said that about 1- feetfrom the window were two packsacks filled with about $311 worth of items taken from the bookstore,including calculators and magazines. Brown said Security had no definite idea how the person enteredthe bookstore. Faculty and staff members presently using the gym and locker rooms for free may soonfind themselves paying a yearly fee if the physical education department faculty gets its way. The fee,which hasn't been set but which has been suggested as $10 a year, would be charged for use of lockers and towels. Equipment clerk Ken Elvig said the charge would cover any loss of towels and "rent" of full-length lockers which some faculty and staff "get for a whole year and then rarely use." There is a greatdemand for lockers, department chairperson Margaret Aitken said, and such a fee would eliminate some users so other regular users could find empty lockers. The fee would compare to an art or technologyfee that would be charged to people using facilities in those departments, Elvig said. A similar chargewas suggested last year, but the physical education faculty never came to a decision. western frontVol. 66 No. 52 THURSDAY July 18, 1974 Ten Cents Recycle all paper Trucking: It's a different kind offreedom by STARBUCK GOODWYN John Henry Wills left Baltimore, Md., at 6 a.m. on Monday. Beforedawn Thursday he pulled into the truck terminal at Tracey, Calif. Wills and his second driver had pushedtheir tractor-trailer rig more than 3,000 miles across the country in three days. As the owner of the rig,Wills would be paid 40 cents a mile for pulling 40,000 pounds of explosives from coast to coast. Willsfigured $400 a day wasn't bad wages. Before sundown he would be loaded and stretched out on anotherrun. He sat in the comfortable drivers lounge at the terminal and over coffee talked about his job. "A man can make a hell'uva lot of money in a short time," his voice assumed a cautious edge, "if his luck holdsout. Hell, there must be a hundred fellers a day trying to buy rigs-and lease them to big companies."Three-quarters of them never get the money. It takes a lot of faith to loan somebody $35,000 to buy a rig that may end up over the mountain on the first run." Wills said he got in the trucking business after hecame back from Vietnam and couldn't get a job. "The money looked good, and what the hell, I kinda liked the idea of running the road — you know, different town and woman each night." According to Wills, itdoesn't work out like that. He had made $1,200 on the last trip, but wages for the other driver, diesel fuel, repair and depreciation on his rig, insurance, fines, truck-stop food prices and other expenses would cut his net to less than 50 per cent of the gross profit. "Women. Forget it, man. When we're high-ballingacross the country with a load of priority freight we sure as hell can't stop and diddle around. Then whenwe're in the terminal waiting for a load, we're afraid to get too far away from the dispatcher." Wills talkedabout some of the discomforts that go into making $400 a day. "One dammed thing is I'm always sleepy. We drive four hours and go to the sleeper (a narrow curtained space behind the tractor seat) four THISIS HOME — The big cab has to be comfortable. It's the driver's home, office, and workshop, photo by J.E. McCartney hours. The rig is usually pirching and bucking, the stack (exhaust pipe) runs right besidethe sleeper, and just about the time I get to sleep the other driver is sure to slam on his brakes or wakeme up to ask some asinine question." "And dirty man!" Most of the truck stops nave showers, but Willssaid when he is under a load, pulling cargo to an assigned destination, it simply costs him too muchmoney to shut the rig down for a luxury item like a shower. What about the danger in trucking? Willsbecame uncomfortable. His six-foot frame moved restlessly in the lounge chair and he stroked a brightnew scar that ran across his sharp cheek bone. "Figure it this way. A driver is riding on 1,800 pounds ofair, and one of them big tires can blow just any time. If it's on the tractor driving wheels (the rear wheels)#r on the trailer maybe it's not going to be bad, but buddy, if one of the front steering tires go when the rig is rolling at 50 or 60 m.p.h., you might as well sell the craphouse, cause you ain't gonna need it nomore. " I got this scar over in Kansas when I blew a front tire and I figure I was damned lucky." Why domany truckers stay on the road year after year, in view of the discomforts and dangers? Wills' voicesounded bemused. "I guess an outsider can never really know what it's like." He relaxed and lookedtoward the ceiling, talking to himself. "For one thing it's the power. It's a great feeling knowing that you're in complete control of 72,000 pounds of surging metal and high explosives. "That's one part of it.Another is the freedom. As long as a trucker does his job, he's pretty damned well his own boss. "Butthe biggie — the thing you can't really tell somebody else — is the way it makes your gut laugh just tosit up there 10 feet off the ground and float along over the road and look down at all the little people intheir little sedans. "We're a different breed of cat and we know it. We look down on them people, going to the same old job, getting off and going home to sleep in the same little old bed." Wills stopped andshook his bead. "What a drag man. Miserable. None of that crap for me." An impersonal voice came over the intercom that hung on the lounge wall over our heads. "Tractor number 3038. Driver, John HenryWills. Load of bombs for Indian Head, Maryland. Thirty-nine thousand pounds. Delivery time noonMonday? Wills got up, stretched lazily and walked through the door to pursue his life — of freedom.

Final campus approval rests with the Board of Trustees at itsAugust meeting before it must be presented to the Council on Higher Education in October. Senateapproval was subject to the appropriation of appropriate funds from the state legislature. Concern wasvoiced that funds would be taken away from existing programs to support the doctorate. Peter Elich,chairman of the psychology faculty, said his department was willing to sponsor the program only ifadditional funds were available. It was pointed out that though the legislature has been hesitant toapprove large budgets for departments in general, it has been generous in the past several mo nths infunding specific projects, such as the masters program in social work at Eastern Washington StateCollege. The doctorate program, approved in May by the Graduate Council and last month by theAcademic Coordinating Committee, was authorized by the state legislature in 1969. The approval cameso that professionals would be more prepared to serve the needs of public schools they work in. AlanRoss, dean of the graduate school, noted at the senate's June 24 meeting that Washington has laggedbehind in this area of service. The state producies fewer doctorates in education than other, lesspopulous states such as Oregon and Colorado, he said. Many of Washington's people must now go outof state to prepare to work in the public schools, he said, and since out-of-state tuitions are higher, " i tbecomes a kind of burden." Copies of an early proposal were sent to other colleges and universities fortheir opinions. Some negative comments were returned which said a state college would be stepping outof its place to offer a doctorate. But many constructive comments were received. Some have been usedin preparing the present proposal, which has been highly praised^ by the dean of the school of educationat Stanford University, Palo Alto, Calif. The new doctorate, the only one of its kind in the state, wouldemphasize both research and learning which are not always available to people with master's degrees inschool psychology. Competency in research is essential, Elich said, so they will be prepared to transmitas much knowledge to the public schools as is necessary. Benefits of the program, which would startfall of 1975, to the rest of the college would be great. Instead of detracting from existing programs, itwould help, according to Norval Pielstick of psychology and a prime backer of the proposal. The collegewould become eligible for almost $400,000 in funds over a two-year period if the proposal is approved.Students in other departments would benefit from about 26,000 volumes that would be added to WilsonLibrary. Two additional faculty members and stipends for graduate assistantships would also be provided, he added. skywater festival atBhine Meditation releases stress kicks off this weekend Pirates, parades and plane rides will kick off the Blaine Skywater Festival tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.

During meditation the body is in the deepest state of rest,even more restful than sleep. Scientific studies have found that transcendental meditation benefits thosewho suffer from ulcers, migraine headaches or troubled sleep. The central nervous system and body are intimately connected. If the body is not functioning properly, the mind cannot function properly.

Older kite flyers are building their own kites and the complexity of designs andspecifications is growing. There are three essentials to a kite. A kite must have wing surface shaped sothat it gains lift from a breeze, it must be tethered and it needs a bridle that holds the face of the kite atan angle to the wind.

The American Kitefliers Association publishes Kite Tales four times ayear. It offers tips on flying and plans for building kites. An Encyclopeadia also has plans for kites. Thefirst rule of kite flying is stay clear of trees, telephone lines, roads and airplane traffic. A kite that takes asudden dive into the path of a vehicle can be dangerously distracting. Trees and electric power lines eatkites. Also, the kite won't fly unless it's clear of surrounding buildings. Remember also that except for 29 cent cheapo, almost any kite will fly. Too often, the flyer gives up too soon, blaming his failure on adefective kite. Kite flying takes skill, practice and patience. Get a line that has a test pound three timesthe frontal area of your kite. That, will give you a little more than you need. You can fly a kite right out ofyour hand by you're gonna get plucked nately called the 'wierd tanley Park Zoo where he lat they had to say. holding it up to the wind and feeding the line out as the kite takes it. Don't give it too much tension. If there's not as much wind as you would like, you can have somebody take the kite and go downwind100 feet. They hold it up until a wind comes along and then toss it up. That gets your kite up 100 feet.The rest is relatively easy. Giving your kite a series of short • little jerks will also get the kite up overthe ground winds. Below 100 feet, the w ind is affected by buildings and other things on the ground.Above 100 feet, the wind is rairly steady and kite flying is not much trouble. Remember not to judge thewind by how you feel. Look up and see if the tops of the trees are rustling. Winds moving 13 to 15 m.p.h.are considered by kiter flyers to be heavy winds. These winds are suited to box kites, parafoils and bullits (a combination parafoil with airfoils and sled). In light winds, four to seven m.p.h., try flat kites andfighters. Tetrahedrals, deltas and Eddy kites are fine for medium wind days, eight to 12 m.p.h. Youshould also consider what the kite is made of. A cloth kite will handle heavier wind than a paper one.Size has little to do with how much wind it will take. Each kite is an individual according to kite flyerMarg. Parsons, a junior in education at Fairhaven. "Kites are still pretty much a hand-made commodity," she said. When you make a kite, she said, you've got to make allowances for error; no two kites arealike. Each flies a little bit differently. "You've got to accept the challenge of each kite," she explained,"test out how it's going to act. Ask yourself: What can I expect from this kite? Just like making a newfriend." paf gt;£r .Scrips ABOVE — Made of tissue paper, this kite can be made for about 25 cents. It should be flown with the dowels up.

Nation-wide upsets and a turn to the right in British Columbia failed to put Progressive Conservative candidate Robert Stanfield into Canadian prime ministership. In fact,Pierre Elliott Trudeau finally got a majority government in the July 8 election. In a campaign periodovershadowed with doubts about voter trends, there was no indication that the people of British Columbia and Alberta would strike such a devastating blow to the New Democratic Party. British Columbiareturned 13 Progressive Conservatives, eight Liberals, two New Democratic Party and no Social Credit.The NDPers dropped to 136,405 popular votes or about 23 per cent from the 1972 standing of 332,245seats or about 35 per cent. analysis by GRAHAM MAC DOlSIELL Premier Dave Barrett has steadfastlydeclared that he will not change the direction of the government, despite the shattering setback votershanded his federal party on election night. David Lewis, national NDP leader lost his seat in what must be the biggest individual upset in recent electoral history. The giant killer was a 44-year-old housewife,Ursula Appolloni, who won the Toronto-York South seat for the Liberals. While the NDP count wentdown, the Conservative went up. From 313,253 seats in the '72 election (33 per cent) to 250,730 (43 percent) this time, the B.C. electorate showed a trend that was shared in Alberta and Ontario. The figuresquoted are from the number of popular votes, hence, less people voted in this election than the '72 one.Alberta returned a complete Conservative backing — all 19 seats went to the Progressive Conservatives. Despite the trend in the West, the general Canadian trend showed the Conservatives down by 12 seatsfrom 107 to 95. Trudeau's cabinet is missing one person. And, perhaps, there is more than meets theeye in the identity of that defeated cabinet minister when one examines his portfolio (or department). The minister in question is Environment Minister Jack Davis who was beaten by Tory (Conservative)businessman Ron Huntington, in Norh Vancouver's Capilano riding. Out of it all. Prime Minister PierreElliott Trudeau was returned to power with 141 seats, a majority government and a personal vicotry — a revitalized interest of the Canadian voter in its former swinging bachelor turned happily married husbandand father. Party leader Robert Stanfield's inability to sell the Canadian people on price and incomecontrols, and party dissension, contributed to his defeat. Both party leaders, Lewis and Stanfield havenot commented on quitting as yet, but it has been predicted that by the next election both theConservatives and the NDP will have new federal leaders. The issue of environment, especially control ofthe supertankers along B.C.'s coast is a 'sensitive one with the people of Canada's most "beautiful"province. Although the Liberal cabinet ministership will soon be filled, the issue will remain a delicate onein the relationships between Ottawa and Washington, Victoria and Olympia. The loss of this seat maybe grossly overlooked by many political analysts, but some how a dark, black cloud seems to becollecting on the horizon. Soon, it may be a thunderhead, and with British Columbia taking a step to the"right", lightning may strike and polarize an already weakening relationship. The next provincial election in British Columbia will show just how big that "step" to the "right" really is. ---------- Western Front - 1974 July 18 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Thursday, July 18,1974 arts entertainment by MARK SHERMAN Neil Young ismissing. Crosby, Stills and Nash are halfway through their first song of the night in Vancouver's PNEColiseum minus one famous face. Stills stands to the left of stage center in a blue football jersey.Tonight he is No. 2. Beside him is a slightly heftier David Crosby with the traditional Crosby Mustachecurling down the sides of his upper lip. At stage right is Graham Nash with a guitar strapped around hisneck. Crosby, Stills, Nash . . . But where's Young? The drummer behind everybody is Russ Kunkel and the bass player is Tim Drummond. Over in the corner playing the grand piano is someone . . . he hasthis look and you can't quite remember who it reminds you of. It takes a second. Right... The characterbehind the piano looks like Alfalfa from Our Gang comedies. Alfalfa was the one with the strands of hairthat stood up straight on the back of his head like a single antenna. That was too lotig^ago to rememberaccurately; but this guy looks almost exactly the way . . . hair parted straight down the middle. In fact,just like Alfalfa - except for those double-wide, four-by-four mutton chops hanging from his cheeks andthe sunglasses. The In Vancouver: CSN Y...Where's Young ? sunglasses really play hell with the OurGang image. You see the piano player is wearing these one-way mirror shades that pop out of his facelike two little shiny hubcaps on either side of his nose. Very cool. The first song is over. The applauseis deafening and the group, not even waiting for the noise to die out, kicks into "Wooden Ships." Just the three of them: Crosby, Stills and Nash. Where's Young? * * * * * "Wooden Ships" doesn't do very well tonight. Crosby's voice is pathetically out of tune. StiHs falters in and out of key, the melody linefishtailing like a rambler on an ice flow. After "Wooden Ships" there is a moment's delay while the group gets reorganized for the next tune. Now, the really confusing moment of the evening occurs. The Alfalfa look-alike comes from behind the piano, straps on a guitar and steps to the microphone. For aboutthree seconds you can't figure what he's doing up front in the spotlight. Only it's so obvious. This mutton chopped visitation from the past i s . . . Neil Young. And right away all four of them, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, sing into "Immigration Man." The pace does not even allow you a moment to adjust. But of course it's him. He's even wearing the Patches, the Neil Young After-The-Gold-rush- Patches. C,S,N Y sound, for some reason, like the band that practices in the basement across the street, whipping intoa third-rate imitation of the group that recorded "Deja Vu." They fumble their way into "Cowgirl in theSand." The solos are hesitant and unsure. After it's over Graham Nash says, "Forgive us if theperfection isn't there. The spirit really is." Nash is trying to be reassuring but it sounds a mite hollow. Hegoes on to explain that David Crosby has a sore throat, that in fact, "We all do." * * * Stills, Nash andCrosby are clustered around the mikes at center stage. David Crosby is sitting, Nash standing, leaningforward a little and Stills sitting across from them with his guitar. The harmonies are tight, the guitarworks so good you don't even feel like talking about it. Stills plays a guitar break that is the first genuine high point of the concert. His fingers snap out a flood of hard, lyrical passages, the notes paying out ina very real, emotional currency. After all the things you have thought about this g r o u p t o n i g h t , the disenchantment, the boredom, to remember how good these players are and can be comes as a rushof relief. You're just a little less hard boiled than when you walked in. But the crowd definitely issomewhere else. The beast is out, of the closet now and through the next two songs, "HelplesslyHoping" and "Blackbird," it is doing little solos of its own, punctuating the songs with bluegrass shoutsand requests for songs. Young sings, " . . . I got lost on the human highway/take my head refreshingfountain/take my eyes from what they've seen/take my head and change my mind/how could people beso unkind?" And for a while the audience seems cowed, ashamed perhaps, like a drunk coming into amoment of self-possession after a long evening of vk 'ence realizing momentarily that he's spent hisbirthright penny-cheap. The battle with catcallers is the only mar in this set. Again, Crosby has to askfor quiet. Saying, "You know who you are . . . the ones in the quaalude sector." Right in the middle ofsinging Joni Mitchell's "For Free" he stops, saying that he just can't play if there is going to be a"wrestling match about who's going to stand and who's going to sit." And so it goes. Still, the set isbrilliant. C,S,N Y are the best acoustic group in the country. It's only when they bring their electricmaterial down off the albums and lug it up on stage that things get ugly. Last number. They pound theirway into "Carry on" displaying in a single tune all of the incompetencies that have marked the amplifiedmusi6 tonight. Ambitiously, or so it seems, they attempt to augment their already impressive list ofstrike-outs. Every time this group flips the toggle switches on their amps a weird Jeckell and Hydetransformation takes place. Suddenly Crosby can't remember how to sing, Young fumbles aroundscrewing up the riffs he is trying to play and the entire group begins to show off that disillusioning hackmusician vibe again. At 12:15 the show ends. The group leaves the stage and the push for an encorebegins. But if you slip out now there is a chance slim perhaps, but a chance, that you can ease outahead of the heavy traffic. The thought of an encore and the suspense of those little switches is toomuch to take.

The senate did just that Monday in order to approve the doctorate proposal. Just before the vote, a careful count showed only 19 senators werepresent, two short of a quorum. Senator George Gerhold pointed out that one way to get around aquorum count would be to count some members gone for the summer as "non members." So PresidentFlora, who is on vacation this, month, and a professor doing reresearch in the East were temporarilydropped off the membership list so the vote could be taken. Some people look down their noses at thissort of action, and sometimes rightfully so. But this was one of those times when there was noalternative, except to not vote. Western stands to gain a lot from such a program. Not just the psychstudents, who obviously will be offered a great opportunity to increase their expertise, but the wholecollege. About 26,000 volumes will be added to the library — books that will aid not just the psychdepartment but anyone who needs the research material they contain. Money for two faculty memberswill be provided; and in this time of faculty cuts and salary losses, that alone would be a great gain.Stipends for graduate assistantships would allow the faculty to spend more valuable time with thestudents. Western also stands to gain a lot of prestige. It will be the only school in the state with thistype of program. The timing Monday was crucial. The senate had to act or risk delaying or possiblylosing the program. The corner cutting was necessary — this time. It's not a good practice to get intothough. A better way would be to allow proxy votes, or at least to notify members an important vote iscoming up, so that they might try to attend.

I think I found out when I tried to plan a picnic andcouldn't get things to work out: Our technology, often called the most advanced in the world, is totallydisorganized. Two weeks ago, when there was plenty of sun, some friends and I decided to go to thebeach for a wiener roast. Because it was my idea, I had to buy the food. No problem. I'll just grab somewieners, buns and soft drinks and that will be it. However, it had been a long time since payday, so I had to try to plan exactly. There would be ten of us, and I thought everybody would like to have two ofeverything. So I started figuring. Let's see, wieners come 10 to a package, so that's easy, twopackages. Then the problems started. You get eight buns to a package, and two packages won't giveyou enough for 20 wieners, and three packages leaves some leftover buns. Same thing with the drinks:Three six-packs are not enough, and four of them are too much. Well, I told myself, I guess I can split asix-pack, but what can I do with the buns? Ah, maybe not everybody will want two hotdogs! But then, if Ionly take. 16 buns, that leaves four wieners. I realized I had a real problem. None of the industriesproducing wieners, buns and drinks had ever gotten together to organize things. I was in trouble. By thistime, I was starting to be shaken up. As far as I am concerned, there are two alphabets in English,letters and numerals. I can work a typewriter, but not an adding machine. What could I do? I couldn'tmake the figures match up. Tell everybody to bring their own? No, that would only be passing the buck.Call the party off? I didn't want to do that, but considering the way things were going I was feeling like it. And then it came to me in a flash. I wouldn't have to call the party off, but we wouldn't have wieners. Iput down the pencil I had in my hand and picked up a phone book. It looks like American technologytriumphed in spite of the disorganization: Let's see... yellow pages . . . pizzas . . . yeah, pizza .

Recent budget cutbacks charged bothunethical and undemocratic Editor, Western Front: It is my opinion that the process of deciding whichprofessors are let go due to thee recent financial cutbacks at Western are both unethical andundemocratic. Whoever chose the 14 professors that were recently dropped are also pretty stupid. Acase in point is the release of the English department's Reed Merrill. Although "they" have decided not to cut him entirely from the department, it would not surprise me if he decided to leave anyway. Merrill isunequivocally the most intriguing, best informed, most inspirational professor I have ever had at Western. Anyone I have talked to who has experienced his classes (and those who are familiar with hisreputation) agree. I imagine the people, whoever they are, who decided to give Merrill and his consortsthe ax never consulted a student, never discussed the professor's attributes with fellow professors, andmost importantly never came close to the same classroom those professors were teaching in. I suggestthe best and most qualified judges of deciding which professors must go are the students. We are theones most aware of the flaws and attributes that make up a teacher; and we deserve, and demand, asay in who stays and who goes. Michael P. Baron junior

Western is no exception. More and more students are finding it difficult totake classes in their major or minor areas as the reduced level of spending has caused cutbacks in alldepartments. Here are details of three departments facing the pinch on campus. "We turn awayhundreds from classes," Sam Porter, chairman of the techology department, said. In some cases morethan 100 people will try to get into a class that will hold no more than 20. Porter cited instances ofmajors in technology waiting until their junior year before they could take freshman level tech courses."We need a few more faculty and a little more space," he said. Latest figures show 365 persons havetech as a major and 90 have it for a minor. Currently the department has 13 full-time instructors andthree are working part time. "We can't adjust the faculty fast enough to keep up with the student'schanging needs." The department has requested three additional instructors, two full-time an;one part-time. "This would greatly help for one or two years," Porter said. "We'd go Saturdays, Sundays andnights, if we had the faculty." Near technology is the art department with much the same problem. Last year the art department was cut from 19 to 17 faculty members. It has 461 majors and 192 minors."The way it is now, it's almost impossible for a student to get started on his major in his freshman yearor for a transfer student to get into any art classes until his second or third quarter at Western,"commented David Marsh, chairman of the art department. "By the end of junior registration for winterquarter, there were no sophomore art classes available and the freshman classes were filled withsophomores." Marsh noted that more cutbacks were made in the arts and humanities areas than in thescience and math areas. "The inordinate number of scientists in the administration may be a cause ofthe budgeting decisions." There is a curriculum change proposal for the art department presently beforethe Academic Council, which Marsh hopes will parially alleviate the problem of overcrowding. "It can'tget any worse," he said. As more and more students realize the scarcity of teaching jobs they arebeginning to plan for careers in other fields. The business and economics department is also toopopular. C h a i r m a n of that department, Howard Mitchell, said last week that they might have to cutback 10 to 15 per cent on last year's enrollment. "We don't have the exact figures, but we are staffedbelow the average formula for the college," Mitchell said. Business and economics has 22 full-timefaculty members instructing 616 majors, and 371 minors. Mitchell said one of the problems is trying toprovide enough course sections for the surplus of interested students. "We seem to be a very populardepartment," Mitchell said, "but we can't respond adequately to the interest that's expressed."Enrollment in business and economics courses at Western has risen between 1 5 and 20 per centrecently, almost twice as much as the college overall. The current overpopularity in Mitchell's department started in the fall of 1970 when students interest shifted from teacher education to other areas. Another of the problems Mitchell must contend with is the difficulty recruiting the best possible teachers.Starting salaries in his department average about $1,500 below the salaries at similar institutions. AtWestern it is about $ 11,000 compared to an average of $12,500 elsewhere. "We're at a competitivedisadvantage," Mitchell said. "Our ability to improve depends upon whether or not the college can getsufficient additional funds to help out the various departments that are experiencing heavy studentenrollment." An information bulletin from the Seattle Community College Federation of Teachersmentions a gradual deterioration of quality education at SCC. "Some symptoms of this are largerclasses, overloaded labs, insufficient equipment and supplies, long waiting lists, closed classes." Thefederation went on strike in an attempt to rectify these and other problems. The Board of Trustees atSCC obtained a restraining order forcing the teachers back to classes. John Barton, president of theSCC chapter of the federation will speak at a meeting in BH 105 Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Barton, who isalso the legislative chairman of the Washington State Federation of Teachers, will discuss theintentions and consequences of the strike at SCC. Get behind the Front Today is the second day ofpress week, sponsored by the Western Front. The entire college community is invited to visit the Frontoffice, located in VU 313, to meet the staff and take advantage of complimentary coffee and doughnuts.Various displays illustrating the physical production of the Front are available for public scrutiny. Staffmembers are on hand throughout the day to answer questions and offer explanations on all aspects ofFront production. In addition, Pat Oliphant, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for the Denver Post, is oncampus today, as guest journalist-in-residence, sponsored by the ' journalism program. In conjunctionwith press week, an open forum panel will be held Friday, at 1 p.m. in the VU Lounge. Several studentleaders will be available to answer questions concerning their respective positions in an attempt to openchannels between themselves and the college community. Press week will continue through Friday. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, February 8, 1972 ' . . . ON SECOND THOUGHTS, THE HEU WITH IT!" FrontEditorials Racers are getting waxed The ethical motivation behind the decision of the Activities Councilto suspend Western ski team funds for the remainder of this academic year (see story, page 8) for"misuse of funds" is undeniably clear, yet we cannot help but question the original intent of the allotmentgranted through the ski team's budget. It is an irrefutable fact that snow skiing, as a recreational activity, is an expensive venture in itself. When placed in a competitive light, however, the "venture" tends tobecome quite costly. The ski team's former budget stipulated that money obtained from college sourceswas allowed to pay only for mileage, gas and lodging. The budget did not include monetary coverage forlift tickets, costing $6 per ticket, nor did anyone appear to take into consideration money spent by theracers for equipment, uniforms and maintenance of both. It would seem only logical that instead offinancing the Western ski team's gas and mileage expenses, the college could have paid for, in full or inpart, lift ticket costs. We are not condoning the ski team's tactics from an ethical viewpoint. It is, however, a matter which should be considered by the Activities Council from a motive-oriented viewpoint. The skiteam members were apparently not pocketing money received, nor were they spending the extra dollarson "after hours" entertainment. Their motives, in fact, appear to be purely logical as far as economy goes.The question that now remains is next year's ski team budget, if there is to be one. Would it not be moreplausible to transfer monies from travel expense to another category labeled " l i f t ticket expense?" Thefact remains, as the article in today's Western Front points out, that Western's ski team has madeadmirable showings at races thus far this season.

"Idon't believe you," Milton Bizz said. "But it's true. A college student will never admit he doesn'tunderstand something. It just goes against the grain," Farly Bulous said. "I mean college students arelike the people in the story, "The Emperor's New Clothes." They can see some guy walking nude downthe street and think up some rational explanation for it. They would never say 'Hey, this guy is nude and I don't understand why.' No, they'll say something like 'This man is flaunting the establishment andshowing his total freedom.' "You see," Farly went on, "college students are terribly frightened of showingany signs of stupidity in front of other students, especially when they encounter something that is totallyincomprehensible. The more idiotic it is the more a student will try to think up some rational answer. Butnever will they say they don't understand." "I still don't believe you," Milton said. "Okay, then meet meout on Red Square tomorrow at noon and I'll prove it to you." The next day at noon, Milton walked out toRed Square and saw a small crowd gathered around a six-foot toe. He went over to the toe and tapped iton its side. "Is that you, Farly?" he asked. "Yeah. Now just stand back and watch," came a muffled reply. Milton stood back a little and looked the toe over. He had to congratulate Farly on his craftsmanship.The toe was made out of paper mache and painted green, and if it wasn't for a bright orange toenail, itwould look like it was plucked off the Jolly Green Giant that morning. Most students only slowed down as they passed the toe, giving it a quick once over and then hurry on their way. But one student steppedout of the small crowd around the toe and looked it over with a critical eye. "Yes, it is definitely a phallicsymbol," he said, nodding his head. "The artist is attempting to say 'Screw the world, I am what I am.'And what he is is a big toe," someone said. "Possibly," another student said. "But don't you think theartist is also trying to rid himself from his tortured environment through a manifestation?" This studenttook out his pipe and gave the toe an authoritative tap to drive home his point. As if on cue, the toe stoodup and starting running around Red Square fountain, every once in a while leaping high into the air. Noneof the students watching this showed any signs of surprise at a toe running around the fountain, but a fewdid clap. "The artist is now showing life is a continuous circle and man must always run in it with the help of his toe," someone said. Milton watched in awe as Farly continued running around the fountain. Morestudents were stopping and offering comments about what was going on; some thought the toe waspainted green to symbolize the ecology movement and others said it was green to symbolize life. No one asked why a six-foot green toe was running around Red Square fountain. Suddenly Farly hit a spot of ice on the fountain's wall and fell on his head. The crowd roared its approval. "So man's life is a circle, butunlike a circle, it must come to an end," the student with the pipe shouted. "No, no," another said, "thetoe died from its polluted environment." No one else could offer any further explanation about the toe andso the crowd broke up and the students went their separate ways. Milton ran up to Farly who was stilllying on the bricks and shook the large toe. He could hear Farly rattling around inside like a peanut in ashell. "Okay, Farly, you proved your point. No one questioned your motives," Milton told a somewhatdazed Farly as he crawled out of bottom of the toe. "Of course not. They would never think of it." Farlystood the toe upright and eyed it. "How about if I put a light on the top and made it into a lamp? Do youthink I could sell it?" "Sure," Milton said. "The school would buy it with no questions asked." Althoughthere will be no art offered, the Western Front is throwing open its doors to the public for Press Week. Allstudents are welcomed to come down to the office and oggle at the reporters, who are said to have some artistic value all their own. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 8 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, February 8, 1972 Western Front 3 Letters: Susan Anastasio spins "modern day" fable Editor,Western Front: Once upon a time there was a family named Cy-Gon. Mr. Cy-Gon had two children, Proand Anti. Now Mr. Cy-Gon's method of running the family was considered oppressive by Anti, so herebelled. Pro remained acquiescent to his father. Mr. Cy-Gon had a friend. Mr. Sam Ericka, who livedthousands of miles away. Sam took a great interest in the affairs of the Cy-Gon family, and decided that Anti must be punished for rebelling against his father. So Sam sent his obedient son, Joe, to beat Antiinto submission. Joe, being unfamiliar with the Cy-Gon family, could not tell the difference between Proand Anti, so rained blows on both with undiscriminating vigor. Now Mr. Cy-Gon had a brother, Han-Noy,who was sympathetic to Anti's rebellion. Sam Ericka decided from far away that Han-Noy should bepunished for his sympathy, so he sent another son, Sam Jr., to attack Han-Noy. Sam told Sam Jr. thatthe rebellion was really Han-Noy's idea, and that Han-Noy had started all the trouble. Sam Jr. and Joefought and fought, and beat and beat against Anti and Han-Noy, to no avail. You remember that theycould not discriminate between Pro and Anti, so Mr. Cy-Gon's c h i l d r e n both suffered extremely,even though Sam had sent his sons to help Pro. Now Sam Ericka had another son, John, who had been watching and thinking about all this. Seeing that things were going badly for Mr. Cy-Gon, Sam said,"John, you get on over there and beat hell out of Han-Noy and Anti Cy-Gon." "But father," said John,"mother always told me to mind my own business.and stay out of other people's family quarrels!" "Thisis different," said Sam. "If Anti and Han-Noy win over Mr. Cy-Gon, they'll come over here and we'll haveto fight them on our own doorstep." "But why would they come over here? Anti wasn't mad at us, hewas mad at Mr. Cy-Gon, and Han-Noy wasn't mad at us either, until Sam Jr. and Joe started beating onhim. If we stop, they won't be mad." "Well, son, you may not know it, but all the trouble is really thefault of Han-Noy and Cy-Gon's close neighbor, Red Chy-Nah. He's the one who's behind the rebellion,and he wants to come over here and . attack us." " "But father, Red Chy-Nah hasn't done a thing to help Anti or Han-Noy. As a matter of fact, Cy-Gon and Pro and Anti and Han-Noy all hate Red Chy-Nah—they've been enemies for ages!" "Never mind, son, you just get on over there." "But father, howcan we help Cy-Gon and Pro if we hurt Pro just as much as Anti? And what has Anti ever done to us?"That's enough, son-get on over there!" But John refused to go. Sam threatened to put him in jail forbeing incorrigible, so John left home rather than obey his father and hurt the far-away people who haddone him no harm. Many years later, Sam suddenly decided that Red Chy-Nah would not attack himafter all. In fact, he decided to travel far and pay a friendly visit to Mr. Chy-Nah. John heard of this andrejoiced. "Now," he thought, "Joe and Sam Jr. can stop beating up Pro and Anti and Han-Noy and letthem settle their own family quarrel." But John was mistaken. Sam allowed Joe to come home, but toldSam Jr. to keep pounding Han-Noy and get in a few more licks on Anti while he was at it. "If Pro getshurt," Sam added, "it's his own fault for looking so much like Anti and being in the way." Joe waswelcomed home proudly by Sam. "You've been a good son. You've done your duty and defended yourhome." "Where's John?" asked Joe. "And how was I defending our home by punching Anti and Han-Noy thousands of miles away?" "Never mind that," said Sam. "John left, and he'd better not come back. Hewouldn't go to the Cy-Gon's and beat up Anti and Han-Noy when I told him to. He's worse than amurderer!" "But father," said Joe, "I only went because I didn't understand the situation. Didn't motheralways tell us to mind our own business and stay out of other people's family quarrels?" "This isdifferent," said Sam. "If Anti and Han-Noy win over Mr. Cy-Gon, . . ." Moral: SOME PEOPLE NEVERLEARN Susan Anastasio Bravo/ Editor, Western Front: I congratulate the Western Front onmaintaining the high standards of journalistic excellence I have come to know and expect. I can nolonger still my rapture. If my suspicions are correct, the new parking permits for Infirmary patients is the most blatant rip-off Western has tried to pull yet. And I will maintain my suspicions until I find out howmuch extra these permits will cost sick students. I hope it's me that's poorly informed. I must alsoexpress my joy at seeing the "Dr. Burke and His Seven Presidents" story in the last issue of the Front. I had had the misfortune of reading page 6 of the Nov. 25 issue of the "Rolling Stone" saying that thestory was a hoax. Perhaps the Front can clear up this little matter for me. G.W. Hunter FairhavenCollege Lauds Front Editor, Western Front: Thank you for the revealing article on prophylactics in lastTuesday's paper. Although the headline, "Condoms may come to Campus" at first confused me, I soonwas enlightened and so I no longer envisioned some menacing force ready to attack this campus. Icongratulate the Western Front for touching on these sensitive areas that are too often covered up andignored. Dan Harmon Sophomore, English Art proposed for library Two major pieces of art have beenproposed to Western's Board of Trustees by architect Fred Bassetti, designer of the Wilson Libraryadditions. The first proposal, a cluster of polyhedrons (many-sided figures) sculpted of redwood or cedar with a bronze block suspended inside, would be placed between the library and Haggard Hall. Thebronze piece would have the 26 letters of the alphabet, the ten arabic numerals and the symbols for Piand infinity carved on its 38 surfaces. The 38 surfaces would appear through eight openings in thesurrounding wooden structure. The piece, designed by Bassetti, would resemble a large cube set on one end and is to complement the Noguchi "sky viewer" sculpture in Red Square. The second piece, arepresentative statue in red or dark granite, is to be placed at the north entrance of the library. Designed by artist Richard Beyer, the figure will be approximately 5 feet by 5 feet by 5 feet and represent either a bear or cougar. The suggestion of a cougar raised some eyebrows at the Board of Trustees meeting."A Cougar?" exclaimed President Charles J. Flora. "He must have graduated from WSU." Bissetti alsoproposed a series of tapestries, paintings and enlarged photographs for the interior of the newly-remodeled library. BOT opproves personnel changes Western's Board of Trustees approved 10personnel actions last Thursday. Lynne Marie Yurovchak was appointed lecturer in economic andbusiness for Winter quarter, 1972.

"I've drawn since I could h o l d a p e n c i l , " the Australian-born cartoonist said. He begancartooning while working as a copy boy on an Australian newspaper. "I was just around the paperdrawing a lot. I guess they hired me because they were cheap," he said. Almost the equivalent ofOliphant's signature is the miniature penguin, Punk, in the corner of each cartoon, which made its firstappearance in 1957. "It was born of frustration. I used this as a vehicle for sneaking my own ideasthrough because, at that paper, I was restricted in what 1 could say." In 1966, the political cartoonist ofthe Denver Times, Paul Conrad, left Denver for the Los Angeles Times. Oliphant read of Conrad'sdeparture, applied to the Post and was hired. "It was difficult to follow Conrad. My style was differentthan what people had been used to, both with Conrad and nationally," he said. Within two years Oliphant had captured a Pulitzer Prize for his cartoons. But he doesn't think much of the Pulitzer. "If you just sit around long enough, it will come. It's largely overrated and doesn't really reflect any achievement," hesaid. Oliphant feels that the main job of the cartoonist is to start discussion. He considers humor ahighly persuasive political tactic. He sees the newest women's publication, Ms., as being heavy-handed. "They'll never be effective until they learn to laugh at themselves," he commented. Cartoonistscaricature those who lend themselves most easily to it, and Oliphant's feeling is "the uglier, the better."Nixon fits his scheme "pretty well," he says. Introducing Gregory J. Pfeiffer A new Representative with College Master 825 N. Garden 734-8100 Greg, 22, joined the local College Master agency in January. A 1971 graduate of the University of Washington, Greg and his wife Tab presently reside in Ferndale.

ELECTRONIC REPAIR Alatnma ConwwM 733-5W By BILL DIETRICH StaffReporter College President Charles J. Flora has not made a decision on the proposal to installprophlactic vending machines at Western, but he is concerned about public reaction to such a move.Washington state colleges are in a financial bind because of legislative budget cuts, Flora said, andthese cuts were made partially because legislators aren't too happy with higher education. "They thinksomething's wrong because of activism and because college promulgates moral deterioration," Florasaid. "There is a concern that we are bastions of immorality." Installation of prophylactic vendingmachines in public places on campus would be viewed as a further indication of moral breakdown in thecollege community, Flora said. "It would enhance the view that colleges are morally reprehensible," headded. Flora said he resented this reasoning since Western is "an institution of truth and the truth must out, whatever the reverberations." He questioned whether the use of condoms will reduce the venerealdisease rate. It might increase sexual activity since installation of the prophylactic machines could beviewed as an endorsement for promiscuity. Flora also questioned the value of man's choice to regulatehis sexual behavior. "I don't think a lot of people have really thought this out," he added. Floracommented on the past and future of Western.'Looking back fifteen years, he said, "not in my wildestdreams" did he foresee the amount of change that has come to Western. Looking toward a Western ofthe future, Flora said, "I would like to see greater vigor, greater intellectual expectation, greater concernin matters of the mind. Every student should have his very best demanded so that when he walks out ofhere, he will say, 'My God, I'm proud!' " Recycling needs truck drivers Truck drivers are desperatelyneeded to carry recyclable material from dorms and administrative buildings to Huxley College,according to Barry Maddocks, who is in charge of Western's recycling program. He said the storageareas for bottles and papers have been declared a fire hazard by the security department and the firemarshall. The recyclables have to be taken out of their storage areas as soon as possible, Maddockssaid. As a result, he is working on a transportation system proposal which has to be submitted to thecollege fire marshall by Feb. 7. The proposal will tell where people can leave their recyclables and whenand where drivers can pick them up. Interested truck drivers can contact Maddocks in the AssociatedStudents office at 676-3460. Gas and other expenses will be reimbursed, Maddocks said. Charles J.Flora "But people don't feel proud when they're not challenged." Postulating a different future, Florafeared that all state colleges might be put under a state agency, bringing them to an even level ofmediocrity. "I believe the college's future will be contingent on society's expectations." 135 W.

After two years of sharpdeclines in the job market, "A five per cent increase in hiring, across the board, in all disciplines at alldegree levels is anticipated," noted a major survey of employers released late last month. The study,conducted by the College Placement Council, Inc., c o v e r e d 835 employing organizations. There will be a 30 per cent increase in job openings for persons with Ph.D.'s, who have been severely hurt by thejob decline. Openings for persons with Bachelors of Arts degrees in sciences, mathematics and othertechnical disciplines are expected to increase by 20 per cent, the council's report said. But majors inliberal arts will be worse off than last year. "Even with the increases, the number of anticipated hirings is still considerably below" the peaks of the job boom years of the late 1960's, the report cautioned.College placement officers across the country confirmed the council's report and voiced cautiousoptimism about the June job market, according to a check of 32 colleges by the New York Times. Theplacement experts said that ethnic minority graduates have the best job prospects of any group.Women, too, will find more job openings than in th'epast. 1([{stereo)) 93 24 Hour/50,000 Watts Todaygive K I S S 'em and O L D E G O L D E a listen OLDE GOLDE is an exciting entertainment dimension. ..

Photo by JIM THOMSON PEmerger, building projects ok'd by Western's Board of Trustees By DAN TOLVA Staff Reporter Themerger of the men's and women's physical education departments "was approved by Western's Board of Trustees last Thursday. College President Charles J. Flora and Provost Frederick Sargent II supportedthe merger which will take effect Fall quarter. "The merger makes eminent sense, academically andfinancially," Sargent told the four board members present. In other action, the board reviewed severalcapital improvement projects. Architect Fred Bassetti told the board that modification of Wilson librarywould be completed "soon." He dismissed the Feb. 15 completion date set by the contractors as toooptimistic. Plans for finishing the fifth floor attic and the east wing of the third floor were not included inthe original contract. Since the cost of the present addition to the library was overestimated, Bassettisaid there are some funds available for these projects now. The plans include stacks, offices andreading rooms for the third floor addition and a listening/viewing facility, e d u c a t i o n a l curriculummaterials, the archives and a staff lounge for the attic. Completion is scheduled for Fall quarter and willcost about $159,000. The Board of Trustees a p p r o v e d the project unanimously. Business manager Donald Cole told the board that budget requests for the 1973-5 biennium are behind schedule becauseguidelines haven't been sent by the state. Cole forecast a modest growth in enrollment for the nextseven years. Campus Planner Barney Goltz told the board there were no new housing projects plannedbefore 1975. Goltz said the state requires an environmental impact statement from all colleges withbuilding projects underway. This study would detail the impact of college expansion on the naturalenvironment as well as esthetic and historical surroundings. Guidelines from the state's environmentalprotection agency and Health, Education and Welfare have been received, Goltz said. The board alsoapproved the completion of a temporary baseball practice diamond to be located on south campusbetween Buchanan Towers and Carver Gym. The plans • are to build a retaining wall to serve asbackstop and to seed the area to prevent erosion, providing a playing field that will last two years.Eventually several practice fields, two tennis courts and a central structure with restrooms and storagefacilities are planned for the area. An addition to the steam heating plant was approved by the board.The 40 by 50 foot addition will house a chill water plant. Board members present were: Harold C.Philbrick, chairman; Mrs. Fred Butterworth, vice-chairman; Robert W. Winston Jr.j and Paul B. Hanson. Board Secretary Patrick C. Comfort was absent. Aid asked for student services Money was the maintopic as the AS legislature- meeting on Wednesday as it received requests for funds from thecounseling center and health services, the Housing and Employment Commission and the day carecenter at Fairhaven. In other action, the legislature received a proposal concerning Lakewood and hearda progress report on the Information Volunteer Center. Frank Nugent, former director of the counselingcenter, and two other staff members told the legislature that the center is understaffed at the same timethat it is increasing its services to the college community. For an effective setup, Nugent said, onecounselor can take care of approximately 200 people, but at Western there is one counselor for 2,000."We try to take those people who are emergency cases right away," he said. "We might have to leave aperson we have an appointment with in order to do that. This is pretty bad for students and for thecounselor." The counseling center has five staff members, but Nugent said they need at least eight. Hesaid the funds for the center were cut back last year and there are no funds for next year. A psychiatristis only on campus four hours a week now. "Of all the staffs," Nugent said, "we are the only one to havea professional staff cut." He said health services and the counseling center need a lot of help becausethey get the "temper of the crises on campus." He pointed out that the budget for health services andthe counseling center is $115,000, but that $30,000 to $40,000 more is needed. "Without this money,we are going to continue having staff difficulties," he said. Gary Duvall, legislator, suggested thepossibility of taking $1 out of the floating $2 bookstore fee and splitting it between health services andthe counseling center. The use of this $2 collected from student fees has been undecided since thebookstore bond was paid off. The legislature decided to check with President Flora about the situationwith this money. $1350 was approved for the Housing and Employment Commission for employees'wages, postage, printing and other administrative costs. A memo had been sent to AS President TodSundquist by Housing and Employment Commissioner Craig Cole concerning lack of funds because ofextensive printing which was done during Fall quarter. A representative from the day care center atFairhaven requested funds for a telephone saying that it is essential in case of emergency. Therepresentative also said the center has been disorganized without a telephone because there is acommunication breakdown between parents, children and the cirector of the center. The legislatureresponded to the request by budgeting whatever is necessary to have a phone installed. A proposalconcerning ownership of Lakewood was submitted by Barry Boniface, programs coordinator. Lakewoodis currently owned by the AS, but the proposal would turn ownership over to the college since the AScannot legally own property. The proposal would still give AS control over the facilities. It was movedthat the legislature postpone action on the proposal until the next meeting to allow time for thelegislators to read it. Dean Powers of the Information Volunteer Center told the legislature the centerwould officially open on Feb. 28 and be set up across from the Viking Union desk. The area will include a desk and bulletin boards to post information for those needing volunteers. He said the paper work forthe center will be done in VU 006. . ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 8 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, February 8, 1972 Western Front 7 Trash Theater It can't happen here?

N.Y. 13201 Western ski teamsuspended for admitted"misuse" of funds By BOB McLAUCHLAN Exchange Editor Western's ski teamhas been suspended until after Oct. 1, 1972 by the Activities council because of "admitted" misuse offunds. AS Business manager Rich Hass said that the ski team had padded a requisition form with theintent of getting more money to attend the Oregon State University's invitational race at Bend, Oregonthe weekend before last. He said the team had submitted on the report, a list of 15 people who weresupposed to attend the meet, but only eight had actually planned on going. Under a school formula, theteam is allowed three-fourths of a cent per-person per mile for gas and $2.50 per person a night forlodging. By this formula, the more people participating in the race, the more money can be taken out ofthe team's budget which is $ 1,700 for this year, Hass said. Only a certain amount of money cantherefore be given to the team for each race. When Hass discovered that only eight were going out of the 15 on the requisition form, he told them that they would not get any money for the race. Apparently, the whole team knew about the padding, Hass said. Last Monday, Hass took the matter before theActivities C o u n c i l which voted unanimously to stop funding the ski team. The team was also deniedthe right to represent Western in any Northwest Ski Conference event for the remainder of the 1971-2academic year. Restoration of funds will not be considered by the Activities Council until after Oct. 1.This year's funds will be reverted to the council's contingency fund. The council decided not to presscharges with the collegiate Judiciary or the Civil authorities against any individuals involved, although,charges could have been filed, Hass pointed out. "I do not think that people understand the seriousnessof this," he said. "It is a misuse of state funds and the team could be criminally prosecuted." Aspokesman for the ski team said that the suspension will be appealed to the Associated StudentsAffairs Council, which the Activities Council said the team could do. He said that the reason the teampadded the requisition form with extra names is because individually, the team was hurting for finances."We were making it easier for each member to pay for expenses," the spokesman said. "What we weredoing was drawing a little more money out of the budget which was already there for the team. Iconsidered it more as money to be spent." He pointed out that the formula only allows for gas, lodgingand "supposedly" for food. "But there is nothing in it which considers ski lift tickets which are six dollars a day," nor is there any consideration for training and practicing. It was costing each person about sixdollars extra to race for the college, he said. "Everyone on the team was complaining about the addedprice," he said. One thing which is never considered is that each member has to buy his own skis andboots which run about $300 and most of the team buys new equipment every year, he added. He agreed with Hass in that the school should not finance the team totally, but "the school did not even offer us astate car, which the team was allowed to use last year." Also'the $1,700 total team budget for this yearwas cut about half of what it was last year, he said. The spokesman pointed out that the suspensionoccurred because somebody on the team a d m i t t e d to program coordinator Barry Bonifas that theteam was trying to get money for lift tickets. This occurred after Rich Hass told them that they would not get any money for the race. What should have been done, the spokesman said, is to say that slating15 participants to go was a mistake and that only eight were planning to go. He pointed out that thistype of padding had been done by ski teams in the past and he believes that other organizations around campus have done likewise. The ski team this year has attended races at Alpental on SnoqualmiePass where it placed fourth overall, and at Crystal Mountain where the team placed third. The 15-member team was composed of a five-member women's team and a ten-member "A" and "B" men'steam. The spokesman said that regardless of whatever happens with the appeal, the team plans onracing as individuals at the remaining three conference meets if they can raise enough money.

"Academic in Retreat," by Dr. Joseph Fashing and Dr. Steven Deutsch, also saysthe college's low enrollment, small number of graduate students, emphasis on undergraduate educationand active faculty make Western an ideal liberal arts college. Fashing teaches at the University of NewMexico and Deutsch at the University of Oregon.. In "Academics in Retreat" they describe studies ofsix colleges and universities in the West Coast area, focusing on the effects of academic innovation ongovernance and decision making. The authors are especially impressed with Western's cluster orsatellite colleges, such as Fairhaven. The best features of a large university, libraries and laboratories,for example, are combined with a small college atmosphere which allows close faculty-studentinteraction. Because of this concept Fairhaven is limited to 600 students. Faculty members decide their teaching loads and divied their time between seminars and other classes. Students have only tworequired courses, one in history and one in science, during their four years at the college. Otherselections are made from offerings which include a broad range of seminars and a m p l e opportunity for independent study.

JOHNSON Staff Reporter WashingtonState proved to be the dominant team this weekend as the Cougars recorded victories over Western,Southern Oregon and Oregon College in round-robin wrestling matches at Carver Gym Friday andSaturday. In the Cougars 32-3 rout over Lanny Bryant's Viking grapplers, Western came up with onlyone individual match victory, that recorded by Tom Tripple, 142, in a 10-6 decision. Three Vikingwrestlers, Mike Donnelly, 118, Randy Tomaras, 126 and Lee Andersen all dropped close decisions totheir opponents, none losing by more than two points. Donnelly was beaten 5-3; Tomaras lost 5-4, andAndersen was dropped 7-5. All three wrestlers still remain unbeaten in conference action. The man ofthe hour for the Vikings Friday night in Western's 30-9 victory over tenth ranked Oregon College ofEducation was Mike Compton. Compton, wrestling at 190, faced OCE's Rich Edwards, the defendingNAIA national champion. Edwards was runner-up in 1970. Comoton was behind on points in the thirdperiod when he maneuvered Edwards around, flipped him on his back and waited for the referee to slaphis hand on the mat. After the signal of the pin had been given, Compton was met by the entire Vikingteam and congratulated by each one on his surprise victory over Edwards. Edwards arose from the mat in disbelief of what had happened. John Donnelly also recorded a pin against his opponent in 3:40, tokeep his unbeated sting alive. Western came within two seconds of upsetting fifth nationally rankedSouthern Oregon Saturday afternoon. Southern Oregon led 17-15 going into the final match, theheavyweight class, between Western's Jeff Michaelson and the Red Raider's Vern Dulany. At the end ofregulation time, the scoreboard had Michaelson on top 4-3. However, Dulany had two more secondsriding time than did Michaelson so Dulany was awarded an additional point. That evened the match andgave each team two points, preserving the victory for Southern Oregon. Vik swim meet canceledWestern's scheduled swim meet with Eastern Washington was canceled Friday.

The wins also gave the nationally ranked Vikings an 18-0 seasonrecord. Western was scheduled to play St. Martin's College in Lacey last night. _Against Central,Western won in Ellensburg~for-theHrirst time since 1967. Cold Viking hands and hot Central shootingput the Viks' win streak in jeopardy early in the contest, as Central broke to a 19-10 lead. Vik centerRudy Thomas scored the first three Western buckets, which was the only thing that kept the Viks closein the early going. The Wildcats' All-Evco forward Rich Hanson was the primary thorn in Western's side, scoring 33 points for the evening before fouling out. Nineteen of Hanson's points came in the first half.With Central ahead by nine, Gary White sparked a Vik comeback with two field goals on fine passesfrom Tom Bradley. Four free throws and a field goal preceded a White jumper from 13 feet which made a score 23-22. Hanson and Bill Eldred gave the 'Cats a five point lead when White put in four free throwsto again narrow it to one and a Mike Franza lay-in gave the Viks their first lead of the game, at 28-27.Both teams traded baskets the rest of the half, with Western's Roger Fuson having the last word, withtwo corner shots for a 36-35 Viking lead at the intermission. Western never gave up the lead from thereon in, but the Wildcats kept all 5,145 s p e c t a t o r s , i n c l u d i ng approximately 500 fromWestern, in suspense right up to the final buzzer. The Viks broke to an eight point spread in the secondhalf, on six straight points by Mike Franza, two Fuson freethrows and a Thomas hook shot. Westerneventually lead by 14, at 67-53, with six minutes left, as Hanson led Central in a surge which nearlyended the Vikings' winning streak. Hanson scored eight points to pace a Wildcat attack to within two,at 71-69, before fouling out. Four free throws by Fuson and another by Bradley cinched the win.Hanson shot mostly inside, connecting on 10 of 13 tries. An otherwise ironclad Viking defense allowedno other Wildcat in double figures. Bill Chatman, Central's leading scorer who also led the league inscoring going into the game was held to just nine points. White led Western with 21 points, including 11 of 14 from the free throw line. Franza added 18, followed by Thomas, Fuson and Bradley with 13,12 and 11, respectively. Western's win came from the charity line, as Central oiU field goaled the Viks, 24-23..

The vietory gave the Vikings a 12-3 record for the season andwas their second decision of the year over the Wildcats, having beaten them earlier in Bellingham, 65-58. The game was tied at 80-80, with 15 seconds left and the ball belonging to Western, when the timer blew the horn because of a rule which states that the game must finish by 7 p.m. in order to give thevarsity teams a half hour to warm up. However, both varsity coaches gave the go-ahead to finish thegame. Western missed a shot and Central rebounded and put up a shot of their own. The Wildcatsmissed and Chuck Fisher grabbed the ball with one second left, but Bissell was called for a holding foul. Central center Rick Bass missed the first of a one-and-one situation and Bissell snared the carom tosend the game into an extra period. Wildcat Ray Henderson hit the first of a bonus free throw attemptand missed the second to give Central an 81-80 lead. Bissell was then fouled by Bass and put two shots through for an 82-81 lead. Bissell hit all five of his attempts from the charity lie. A lay-in by Chuck Price provided the safety cushion for the win. The Vikings were ahead only once in the first half, at 7-6,before Central worked for what eventually became 14 point lead, at 32-18. The Vikings then began whathas become a trademark this season by inching back into the game, trailing by only seven, 46-39, at the half. Western tied the game at 53-53 on a Bissell free throw and took the lead on another charity tossbv Price. The Viks worked for a seven, point lead, before Central roared back to take the lead on a JohnLambert bucket. Central led by three, 77-74, late in the game when Price and Chuck Fisher combined to give Western an 80-77 edee. A Rod Jeske free throw and a Bass jumper tied the knot at 80, setting upthe final action. Fisher followed Bissell in a balanced Vik scoring attack, accounting for 22 points, withMark Salzman and Price getting 13 and 12 respectively. Henderson paced the Wildcats with 26counters, followed by Jeske, Mark Korsmo, and Bass with 15, 12, and 10, respectively. Fouls almostdoomed the Rich Tucker-tutored Vikings, with Jim Hotvet fouling out, Bissell, Fisher, Price and JoeHunter each drawing four, and Salzman was caught for three. The jayvees have only eight teammembers. Western held a 32-25 field goal advantage over Central, but hte 'Cats made it up by shooting27 of 35 from the line, while the Viks went 20 for 28. The Vik jayvees have four more games left, withFriday's contest being their final home game of the year. Western will host the f r e s h m e n fromSeattle University Friday, a team which SU varsity coach Bucky Buckwalter has called one of- SU'sbest ever. Game time for that one is 5:30 p.m., as a preliminary to the varsity contest between Western and Southern Oregon.

In the second half however, the Viks broke to a quick nine point lead andwidened it to 15, when with three minutes left, Western coach Chuck Randall cleared the bench. TheWolves used the inexperience of the reserves to close to with in three at the end, but ran out of time todo anything more damage. Franza had the hot hand against OCE, hitting nine of 13 field goal attempts,and a perfect three-for-three at the line for 21 points. Thomas was the only other Viking in doublefigures, scoring Western held a 27-16 field goal edge over the Wolves, but scored only 12 of 17 from the line, while Oregon College shot 36 times, connecting on 31.

So since last fall we'vebeen looking for a brand new pair of roller skates. The result? A number of changes that are still on thedrawing boards. Plus five important innovations. 1. We banished the 1950s image with a shorter, nicername. Scobp . . . it's a combination of student and cooperative bookstore. Then we added the cartooncharacter to help us lighten up. 2. We created a place in our store for selling student-made candles. Andwe're gradually expanding it to include a quantity of other student-made goods and handicrafts. 3. Wefigured out how to turn the bookstore into a recycling center. We're still sorting out the details, but we'llhave it together early next month. 4. In September we replaced the old, unwieldy rebate system with afive per cent cash discount. In December we reduced the prices of drug items 17 per cent more . . . for atotal cutback of 22 per cent. At the same time, we doubled our inventory of contemporary records. Weput opinion boxes throughout our store. If you've got a suggestion or a complaint, now you can drop us anote. What's in it for us? The obvious advantage of making our store a little better place than it was.We've summed up the whole idea in three short words: people before profit. Think about it the next timeyou go Scooping. It's the key to our brand new pair of roller skates. 2^©©*? people before profits.Copyright lt;£ 1972. Let there be fight Emergency lights will soon be installed in Carver Gym andother buildings as part of a $30,000 safety improvement fund included in the 1971-73 budget. The lightswill be battery powered and constructed so they are constantly charging when the power is on and willcome on automatically if the power goes out. But this will not solve all the problems, H. S. Litzsinger,director of the physical plant, said. It will solve the handling of crowds in the auditoriums but not theother power problems facing campus during a blackout. A very important power need is for thecondensation pumps in the physical plant. These pumps recycle water after it has condensed from thesteam that is used to heat the buildings. Without the pumps, there is no heat and the pipes will freeze.Other important power needs are for security's radios, the refrigerators in the commissary, "exit" signsand important scientific experiments. These power needs require a generating plant and separate wiring, H. A. Goltz, campus planner, said. 5 legislature posts open Five positions on the AS Legislature forSpring quarter will be up for grabs in a Feb. 29 election. Applications for these positions are availablefrom the AS secretary in the Viking Union. A 2.0 g.p.a. is required. The filing period for these positionsends Feb. 18. Huxley offers European tour A six-week environmental study tour of nine Europeancountries next summer offers Western students a chance to w a t c h an international conference inaction and learn how policies are made. Details of the program will be discussed at a public forum in the VU lounge at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow by the Western team which will lead the 10-credit Huxley Collegecourse and an estimated five or six dozen students. The course will use the two-week U.N. Conferenceon the Human Environment at Stockholm June 5-16 as a laboratory study in international action,followed by field trips t h r o u g h East Germany, C z e c h o s l o v a k i a , Austria, Switzerland,Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Great Britain. It is part of this year's summer school offerings.School levy today Bellingham-registered voters can vote today on the annual Bellingham School Districtlevy. The levy is for $2,910,622 and would be paid by property taxes. Approximately 5,300 votes areneeded to validate the levy and 60 per cent of those votes must be yes votes for the levy to pass. . **

Show more1975_0211 ---------- Western Front - 1975 February 11 - Page 1 ---------- Higher AS salaries pass fin concept' vote of director CAROLYN CRAIG Following a lengthy, unemotional discussion Thursday, the AS Board of Directors passed in concept a retroactive salary increase for allAS positions. In a vote of six for, one opposed, and one abstention, the board adopted a motion whichwould provide for salary increases ranging from 25 per cent to 150 per cent, depending upon positioninvolved. It was passed pending a report from AS Business Manager Leslie Nix on whether the extrafunds, which amount to over $7000, are available, and if so, when. There is still dissention amongmembers of the board as to whether the salary increases will be retroactive. Because of a motion passed in October, the increase, as it stands now, is retroactive to fall quarter. "But this is still subject toaction," Student Caucus Chairman Steve Barrett said. "It will be brought up at the next board meeting."The present salary schedule shows salaries ranging from $50 for some level five positions (Hand in HandCoordinators) up to $300 for level-one positions, which include the AS president and the programcommissioner. The schedule adopted Thursday lessens the disparity between the upper and lower levels, with the largest percentage increases going to the lower level positions. Level one positions willincrease from $300 to $400, while some level five positions can anticipate a pay hike of 150 per cent,from $50 to $125. "The AS hasn't had a salary increase in several years," Barrett said. "So in effect, withinflation, they were getting paid less and less. Working for the AS is not an activity, it's a job." Someboard members expressed dissatisfaction with the narrowing of the gap between the upper (level one) and lower level positions. AS Vice President Hugh Larkin said, "That would be fine if this was a socialisticsociety." Jack Fulk, speaking from the floor, said "Level one is still getting the biggest chunk of thesalary increase." The board action follows a similar one made on Nov. 21, when it passed-a controversial50 per cent across-the-board increase. It later rescinded its decision following heavy criticism from some students who felt the board acted without sufficiently analyzing the current AS pay scale and withintentions of personal gain. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1975 Vol. 67 No. 26 Ten Cents Olscamp looksthe campus over DENNIS RITCHIE Paul Olscamp is taking a crash course in how to be Western'spresident. He made a field trip last week to visit the campus for the first time after being chosen inNovember to succeed College President Charles J. Flora July 15. The 37-year-old vice chancellor forstudent affairs at Syracuse University spent a hurried three days hunting for a house and gettingacquainted with the people and campus of Western. PAUL OLSCAMP In an interview Friday, the veryrelaxed Olscamp named Western's budget and academic planning as his main sources of homework. He estimated he spends 30 per cent of his time learning about Western and planning his administration, inaddition to fulfilling his present obligations at Syracuse. Olscamp plans to be deeply involved in choosing a permanent academic vice president. An interim vice president is currently being chosen. Within amonth after his arrival, Olscamp expects to appoint a committee to find a permanent office holder.Outside of finding a new academic vice president and dean for Fairhaven, Olscamp said he doesn'tanticipate any changes in the administration. He is, however, closely studying faculty structure. Askedfor his opinion of the proposed doctorate program in educational psychology, Olscamp demurred, saying, "I won't comment on anything that concerns the present running of the college without first checking tosee if I could do harm. I am not yet president of Western." He has committed himself in writing to bepresident for six years and mentioned 10 years as being "long enough." Olscamp revealed a four-yearprivate contract for evaluation by the Boad of Trustees. He explained, "This was a mutual request by meand the trustees. Every four years, we will decide if we're happy with each other." After three days oncampus, Olscamp appears to be happy with the people on it. "The feeling of friendliness and welcome Ihave received is great. I can't wait to get here," he said. During his visit, Olscamp got a brief glimpse ofthe Fairhaven Bridge Project and came away very impressed. "I'm wholly in favor of things like the BridgeProject. I really want to explore ^ increasing outside involvement with education. §. "We should involveourselves in the ? educational process, wherever it occurs: in § downtown Bellingham or on top of Mt.Baker, if °' it falls within monetary and service to campus obligations." DOWNHILL SLIDE - Aftermidterms, it's all downhill for many students. To some, the work load drifts down; for others, it's theirGPA. Even though the economy seems headed in the same direction, a seven-dollar lift ticket doesn'tstop many skiers at Mt. Baker. Possibility of strike discussed by AFT If Western's classified staffstrikes the campus later this •month the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Local 2084, willhonor the union's picket lines. The AFT voted unanimously Wednesday to support the WashingtonFederation of State Employes (WFSE) in their demands for a higher salary. At the same time the unionvoted not to get involved in a picket-line stand but only to honor those of the WFSE. Although . notimetable has been drawn up, a date in late February is likely for any strike. The WFSE, a state-wideunion of some 14,000 is seeking a salary increase of 31 per cent over a two-and-a-half year period. Gov. Dan Evans has proposed an increase of 12 per cent effective March 1 and an additional six per centnext September. Any further increase would have to be worked out by the legislature. Meanwhile a six-member committee composed of faculty and students has been formed to come up with a working planin the event Western is hit by the strike. "Right now the situation is so indefinite that we don't evenknow if Western will be involved," Don Cole, college business manager and head of the committee, said. ,,It's not a Western strike per se." Resolution opposes tuition increases Western's Board of Trusteesvoted to support a statement concerning the opposition of tuition increases. The statement claims anyincrease in tuition would create more hardships for students. See page 2.

J ---------- Western Front - 1975 February 11 - Page 2 ---------- Wester^ Front ^uesMy,: February 1^1975 Costigan predicts hope for mankind BRUCE HAYES "Sincethe scientific revolution of the 17th century, man has made many technological advancements. But,because over the same period human nature has remained the same, technology has not been used forthe good of man and may bring about his downfall." These words came from Giovanni Costigan, aVietnam expert and one of the University of Washington's most honored professors. An elderly small man with billowy white hair, he looks like somebody's grandfather. His words had the tinge of grandfatherlyadvice, but even though he is soft-spoken, the point he made last week before a crowd of 75 people in the Fairhaven Auditorium was a serious one. "Many people feel the past has no relevance to the present,"Costigan said. "The study of history would be pointless except that human nature has remainedobstinately the same." Many scientists take human nature for granted, assuming that it is basicallygood, he said, but fail to take note of the lessons of history. "Every single revolution since 1776 hasbeen predicated on the supposition that human nature could be changed, that a new human being would come into existence. America's forefathers thought in the new world that all that was degrading inEurope would be left behind." But, he said, the hope for mankind was marred by the failure to includecertain groups of the population in the constitution, such as Indians, blacks and women who compriseone half of the population. "The follies and vices" of Europe and Asia were repeated in America, such 'asslavery, the crushing of the early labor movement and the pacifist witch-hunts of the 1920s. Revolutionhas accomplished much good, according to Costigan, but has failed in the fundamental alteration of man. "The French revolution didn't change the nature of man. The dreams of the Russian idealists werequenched in blood. "It has failed to change human nature. What we were we are," he said. Costiganadded that no change in technology guarantees a change in human nature. He called for a need to linkthe knowledge of man with the knowledge of science. "Science has a good deal to do to educatemankind," he said. There are people, Costigan said, who think Trustees opposed to tuition increaseGIOVANNI COSTIGAN that coming atomic destruction is no different from the coming of other weaponsin the past, that a rusty dagger is no different than an atomic bomb. This is true for the individual, hesaid, but in half a second 100,000 people can be killed at Hiroshima. "Technologists ignore history, too.Whatever their good intentions, they will repeat the errors of the past because they don't even inquire how to prevent them." "The Vietnam War could have been avoided," Costigan said, "if the lessons of historyhad been applied." The Korean War proved that a ground war in Asia was pointless. The cost of the waris estimated at $350 billion, according to Costigan. America could have become the "happiest society on earth" if the money had been used against poverty and to clean the air and water instead of pouring itinto "the quagmire of Vietnam." "Man's survival is at stake," he said. "The effort for the human race tosurvive is necessary as never before." "The planet is seething with hate, jealousy, fear and suspicion.War has always been a luxury. Mankind can't live without it but now it's too expensive." Costigan quoted Albert Einstein: "Remember your humanity and forget the rest." STEVE THOMPSON Support for aresolution opposing tuition increases during the 1975-77 biennium was passed Wednesday byWestern's Board of Trustees. The board also granted tenure to Patrick J. Mclntyre of the chemistrydepartment and heard a report on the early release program for prisoners to study at Western. In amove to prevent any increase in student tuitions the board voted to support a statement by the Council of Washington State Student Body Presidents. The statement claims any increase in tuition would create more hardships for students. College President Charles J. Flora said an increase in tuition would cause a drop in enrollment and a cutback in state funds. T h e b o a r d v o t ed unanimously to grant tenureand promotion to Mclntyre. It w a s . done because the Reduction-In-Force (RIF) program will eliminateMclntyre several weeks before he would receive his promotion and tenure. The board listened to twoplans for faculty and exempt staff salary recommendations. One would be a step or set amount increase while the other would be a percentage across-the-board increase. An investigation of the two plans was authorized if the All-College Senate could not decide. A report was heard on Project Perfect, an earlyrelease program for prisoners to study at Western. It was voted to have the parole officer and director ofthe project at one of the next two meetings. Back private schools The Senate Higher EducationCommittee has approved a c o n s t i t u t i o n a l amendment aimed at permitting what legislation hasfailed to do — provide state financial aid to students attending private colleges and universities Thestate Council on Higher Education (CHE) had requested the measure because the state Supreme Courthad invalidated statutes and appropriations granting aid to students at p r i v a t e and parochialinstitutions of higher learning. "The will of the people of this state, as expressed by the legislation, hasbeen thwarted by some rather obsolete c o n s t i t u t i o n a l provisions," Richard P. Wollenberg ofLongview said. Wollenberg is a member of CHE. He said the proposed change, which would take effectonly if approved by a two-thirds vote in each house of the legislature and a majority of the voters in ageneral election, would bring the state constitution in line with the federal governing document. Payhikes requested Representatives of faculties from all of Washington's s t a t e - s u p p o r t e d colleges, universities and community colleges have asked for pay increases ranging from 28 per cent to 34 percent. Student perspective major aim of tour guides KAREN CRISPIEN ". . . And this is Wilson Library,which contains over 900,000 volumes," a student wearing a badge marked "Western's Ambassadors"said as he points and leads some high school seniors across Red Square. Western's ambassadors are 12 students who voluntarily give tours of the campus to prospective students. Their primary concern isnot to point out buildings, but to present Western from a student's perspective. They work in connection with the Office of Admissions, under the guidance of Billy Flowers who is a graduate intern. "We're not just tour guides," saicf Joanne Benson, who said she has always been interested in public relations-type work. "We're called 'Ambassadors' and our name reflects our service. We also go to high schoolsto visit and tell them what Western has to offer." Ambassadors also will assist the Admissions Office inApril with College Day, when hundreds of high school seniors from surrounding counties will be bussedin for a day at Western. The guides are not out to present a sales pitch but to provide a service. "Wetell about college from a student's point of view," the \ j fc WE.

"And that, to me, is important." The guides give a basic tour of the campus, stopping at places where visitors show special interests. "They (the visitors) get theacademic questions from admissions counselors," Benson said. "And ask us those that can beanswered easier by a student. When they talk to us they are concerned first and foremost with life-stylethan with the college itself." Questions commonly asked concern dorms, regulations, activities,recreational facilities, student-faculty relations, spare time and quality of the food service. "After mytour, I let them know they are free to come see me if they need me for anything," Benson said. "I letthem know where I'll be, or give them the number of someone else to contact if they have problems."Richardson was the group's one and only member when the program started last winter. Since then, hehas put in more than 70 hours giving tours, and has researched materials to provide extra information for his tours. During the first days of fall quarter, Richardson even put on a tour guide badge and stationedhimself in Red Square to help lost students locate Western's buildings. They told members of the H o us e A p p r o p r i a t i o ns Committee that morale at the institutions is sinking to all-time lows. Theydid admit, however, that the turnover rate among faculty members is not as great as it was in the 1960smany teachers leaving the state are doing so for reasons other than pay. Dennis Curry of the Council on Higher Education said his organization is recommending an immediate 9 per cent increase to befollowed by an 11 per cent boost July 1 and an 8 per cent cost of living increase July 1, 1976. He saidthe council believes the money can be found t h r o u g h careful budget management. The council willsupport a tax increase if one is necessary to fund the salary boost plan, Curry said. College instructorshave lost $1,500 in purchasing power due to inflation since 1967, Curry said. On the other hand thepurchasing power of all other state employes and workers in private and government jobs saw anincrease of $800 during the same period. Henry Siedal, representing the Washington chapter of theAmerican Association of University Professors, demanded a 30 per cent increase spread over the nexttwo years. Siedal said the professors have "developed a feeling that the legislature just doesn't carewhat happens to the state's colleges and universities." The morale issue was raised by Edward Ullman,a University of Washington geology professor. He told committee members that professors haveadopted an "I don't care attitude" because of economic conditions and the fact that their peers in otherstates are better paid. ---------- Western Front - 1975 February 11 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, February Ih, 197 5 Western Front 3 Alternative energy sources under investigation PENNYWALKER Two Custer men are developing alternative energy systems to help consumers combat thesoaring costs of the energy monopolies. Bill Kitching and Bill De Vine both believe that new sources ofpower will begin to replace existing systems. This would help people who choose alternative energyindependance. Kitching has devoted the last three years to researching hydro-power and developing apelton-type impulse turbine. The impulse turbine will perform for small groups of people as a largehydroelectric system does for a city. Kitching said he became involved in researching hydro-power whenpeople would describe a water source on their property and ask is he knew of an existing way to convertit to power. At the time, he said, there was one company producing such a system, but the cost wasprohibitive to the average consumer. As he saw the demand for small scale water power systemsincreasing, he became more involved in the search for an answer. De Vine, on the other hand, hasexperimented for 20 years with methane gas production. He said any backyard compost pile canproduce this odorless gas. To make the compost pile effectively produce methane three principles mustbe applied; close off and make airtight, establish and maintain a PH balance and maintain thetemperature at about 80 to 100 degrees.

De Vine said twohorses, two cows, 10 chickens and general household waste, run through a methane digestor, canproduce enough energy for a family of four. While it is possible to acquire enough animals to producemethane, hydro-power is dependent upon a water source. The potential power is determined by thevolume of water and the distance it drops. Kitching said putting in a hydro-powered system requires acertain amount of knowledge which has to be applied to each given situation. The planner must realizethat all situations are of an "unusual nature." He said the water used for energy can also be filtered andused, in the home and for irrigation. Local farmers are faced with rising energy costs, DeVine said. "They have been educated by me enough to know that it is possible to convert their liquifying manure tanksinto methane digestors, which is the major cost in methane production." However, farmers are reluctantto convert. "As long as they can flick a switch and get power, they will resist the conversion," he said. .De Vine said brown-outs and black-outs are inevitable and farmers will wait until then before switchingover to methane. He said the extraction of methane gas from animal and vegetable waste has been usedfor many years by people in India, Sweden and Germany for heating and motor fuel. In India alone, thereare more than 5,000 gas plants, some large and some small, helping to relieve' the energy shortage.DeVine cannot understand why Bellingham uses precious natural gas to burn up garbage and sewage.He said the sewage plant could be converted to producing methane gas rather than burning up naturalgas. "I am afraid it will take an energy catastrophe for methane and other alternative energy systems tobe used on a widespread basis, De Vine said. Class surveys downtown use If a student approaches you and asks how often you go out bowling, don't panic. He's only one of 48 students from George Drake'ssocial research class quizzing 100 fellow students about their downtown shopping habits. Askingrespondents to determine how the downtown area can best be put to use, the 15-question survey isbeing m a i l e d out to 1 , 7 00 homeowners under the auspices of the Citizen Input Committee to theCity Council. "Although the survey asks respondants if downtown businesses service their needs it isnot a business survey," Drake said. "It's designed to offer a downtown for everybody." "The community is a dynamic, living thing," Drake Huxley size questioned A hearing of opinions and i d e a s e n t i t l e d ' ' T he Optimum/Maximum Size of Huxley College" held Thursday reviewed the issues of Huxley'sgrowth and faculty size. Student input was desired because of the diversity of opinion among staffmembers as to whether or not the college should continue to grow. Funding is a major factor in growthconsiderations. Lynn Robbins of Huxley faculty said the college might have to play a "numbers game"in order to keep up with growth and influence the state legislature. There is no assurance anything willbe gained by playing the numbers game, according to John Miles of Huxley faculty. Allowing the college to grow so more funds will be allocated is a short-range consideration, according to assistant professor Skip Everitt. Concern should be placed on long-range goals, he said. One of the major problems facingHuxley is the workload instructors carry. It is currently operating on a 59 per cent faculty formula,compared to Western's 72 per cent. Ruth Weiner, Huxley College dean, said that if a "decent formulalevel" could not. be attained then they should forget about Huxley College. The formula is obtained byfinding the ratio of total department credit hours to number of faculty. Her comments referred to bothfaculty size and the quality of education. Because Huxley is an experimental college the formula should be 100 per cent, according to Weiner. But, g i v e n the p r e s e nt R e d u c t i o n - i n - F o r c ecircumstances 85 per cent is more realistic, she said. No decisions were reached and another hearing is being planned. said. "The downtown belongs t o e v e r y b o d y . It's in everybody's interest to make a viable downtown." Drake said the results from the survey will be made available to the city council andthe press. Final returns should be in by mid-March. Drake's class will help tabulate and analyzeincoming responses. In the process they will code, keypunch and run the survey data. The final productwill hopefully provide the basis for a good grade. But besides earning course credit, Drake said thestudents will learn a valuable lesson in future planning. Besides helping the community, they'll helpthemselves, he added. "Most students will be using data in decision making all their lifes," Drake said.Leopold Inn's Goodtime CharMes presents: brew BUCK BONUS BARGAIN With this ticket, the beareris entitled to two $2 burger 'n brew dinners (a $4 value)for $3.

Program Commission ---------- Western Front - 1975 February 11 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, February 11, 1975 COMMENT In behalf of human art In my capacity as theCampus Curator of Art and as one of the major contacts between Western and the Virginia WrightFoundation, I have been closer to the gift of the sculpture by Mark Di Suvero than most people oncampus. As such, I have felt some obligation to comment on the controversy it has generated, frankly,however, I have not felt that I could compete with those gifted logicians whose ability to use terms like"philistine" and "dork" far outstrip my limited abilities to discourse rationally. One of the humanaccomplishments that has traditionally been seen as having value has been the creation, andexperiencing, of works of art. The works of art available on this campus are not only appropriate, butnecessary. Knowledge that was secure only a short while ago is now obsolete. Values that reflectedmore certain ages have been overthrown. We have experienced a succession of uncomfortablerevolutions. Modern art has shared in this shredding of the expected. Maybe I should mention therelationship established between the sculpture and the surrounding architecture, the brilliant adjustmentof one element to another, or the strength of its silhouette against the sky. Maybe I should mention thejoy some people will participate in when the "ride" is repaired and replaced. Maybe I should applaud thetwist of logic that takes the "junk" of our society and recycles it back into a joyous and humanestatement. I must admit that it is the sculpture's "ineloquence" and its "character" that I most: admire. Ihad thought that the days when new and/or challenging ideas were hounded on campus by ridicule,irrationality, prejudice and incivility were past. I am shocked that James Hitchman and Mary Watrous,among others, demand its removal - will they tell us next which books in the library should be burned?Lawrence Hanson Art faculty STREET bEAT D. STARBUCK GOODWYN ^ LETTERS AbrahamLincoln: Born Feb. 12, 1809 Died April 15, 1865. On February 12, 1865, Abraham Lincoln's 56th birthday passed almost unnoticed. The Confederate Army was dead and the country waited for the corpse to fall. Each new day brought news of another Union victory and Washington residents surged into the streets to celebrate. Lincoln had led half a nation to victory and on his 56th birthday he was hammering out plansfor a just peace. In two months he would be dead and many of his proposals for a compassionatereconstruction of the conquered South would be worthless ashes. Lincoln should never have been shot.Statistically, the odds were all against it. He was the victim of a plot that failed. John Wilkes Booth andhis band of blundering boobs didn't set out to kill the president. In the closing days and hours of Lincoln'slife, fate played a deadly game of tag that touched the president and the people around him. As timestarted its countdown on the president's life, a half dozen incidents and decisions, seemingly unimportantat the time, were shaping the final act. A different conclusion to these decisions or result of the incidentsmay have changed the future of the nation. Booth lived with a dream. Some day he would move amountain and leave his foot prints in its place. The world would remember him forever. The brilliant,pampered egomaniac saw Lincoln as his mountain. His plan was ambitious. He and his half-dozenhenchmen would capture the president and turn him over to the Confederacy. At 2 p.m. March 20, Boothand company were poised for a kidnap plan that had every chance of success. They were to take thepresident from his coach as he rode out of town to attend a matinee performance of "Still Waters RunDeep." Moments before his departure he was prevailed upon to present union troops with a captured flag,instead of attending the production, and the kidnap plot failed. Fate had begun its grisly game now andwouldn't stop until the last grim act spun out. During the following few days, half of Booth's band ofconspirators would leave him because of various incidents not directly related to the plot. Given time,Booth may have recruited other men and pulled off his daring plan. But time was twisting away. Gens.Lee and Johnston were losing a regiment a day. The lights were going out all over the South. Soon theConfederate capital at Richmond would have to be abandoned and there would be no Confederacy to turnLincoln over to. Booth opted for assassination. The game went on. Gen. Grant, in Washington to attendto matters concerning the end of the war, was invited to attend the theater with the Lincolns on theevening of the assassination. He neither attended nor notified the president of his declination. It isimprobable that Lincoln would have gone that night had he known that Grant wasn't coming. Lincolnstated several times during the day that he had no desire to go to the theater that evening, but felt thepeople should have a chance to see Grant. Ward Hill Lamon was the one man most vigilant of Lincoln'ssafety. On the night of April 14 when Lincoln was killed, Lamon was reluctantly in Richmond at Lincoln'sinsistence. Lamon was not there to stand between Lincoln and death. And finally there was Lincoln'sguard, John F. Parker. Parker was a known drunk who had twice been suspended from the police force.His record of laziness and inattention to the details of his job were history. On the night Parker wassupposed to be guarding the life of the nation's president, he and Booth sat in the same bar drinking.Booth was the more dedicated. He left to attend to his work, and Parker stayed. No white lines? Pointsome Editor, Western Front: I can now understand why someone has taken campus Safety andSecurity to court. While" I do not plan to do the same, I am sure many at Western share my experience. I live at Birnam Woods and s u d d e n l y , after parking alongside other cars in front of my apartmentfor Wi quarters, I received two parking tickets. I went to the security department and they informed methis is their new policy. They told me I should have read their car and parking regulations pamphlet. Itstates because I did not park between two white lines I was violating the parking code. The area is well-suited for cars to park, as they always have in the past, but now security is "cracking down" because ofnon-existent white lines. Just look around campus and you will find cars parked "legally" that are notbetween white lines. But my point is this with all the money thab security gets from parking tickets,don't you think they could put some of it back into the college? They could pave radial tire-test areas*like Buchanan Towers Proving Ground, or fill in the hundreds of muffler-ripping pot holes, or, yes, evenpaint a few white lines.

Their goals, desires and ambitions are not unlike those found in a spattering ofindividuals anywhere. Their lives are not unlike those of others. This Frontscope is an attempt to bringtheir needs and personalities more closely into the spectrum of those around them. It is also meant toclarify some of the shortcomings as well as assets afforded them in our community. ^ ^ Centersearches for new home J WILLIAM MUNDAY The New Year's Eve fire that closed the Columbia Hoteldowntown caused a lot of obvious damage. It also caused some damage not so easily seen. "The yearcould have started out a lot better for us," Wilma Johnson, director of the Bellingham HandicappedCenter, said. She heads a staff and the 26 mentally-retarded adults who worked at the center. "They'reall out of jobs now. It was a great disappointment to them," she said. Johnson has been director of thecenter since May, and worked as assistant director for a year before that. Finding a new home for thecenter has turned out to be the hardest part of her job so far. The center is temporarily housed at theGarden Street Methodist Church while Johnson and her staff seek a permanent facility. Finding a building which will meet specific federal requirements is a necessity, as the center gets both state and federalfunds. "Since the fire, we have been primarily involved in cleaning and restoring most of the equipmentused in producing our rugs and other woven products," she said. "It's been necessary work, but it doesn't help us as far as being back in business is concerned. What we need most is a building with astorefront on the street level. Then we can start selling again." Johnson said response from thecommunity has been good. The center has received donations of materials as well as money from bothprivate citizens and civic groups since the fire. "Mostly checks with instructions to spend the money aswe see fit," she said. "We have also received help from several volunteers from the special educationprogram at the college. They've been great with our clients." Johnson said this has been important to her clients in terms of providing them with activities and interests while they have no jobs. " "Our clientscome to us from Buckley and Fircrest (both state institutions for the mentally retarded). It is required that they have some type of recreational program available," she said. "Otherwise, we are simply movingthem from a large institution to a small one." Eight of the clients reside at the Hampton Heightsintermediate care facility, operated by Britta McCormack. "On alternate Saturdays, they either swim atthe "Y" or bowl. We have bingo at least once a week, and one of the residents who plays piano hasformed a musical group with piano, drum and several kazoos. Also, they go to SPIN (Serving People InNeed) dances that are put on by the Mgh school students. "We have several large rec rooms, a largeyard for use in the summer, and our own bus for travel. I'm also leasing a 20-acre farm which we mayuse for small gardens and raising three or four cows. Then, of course, they attend church on Sundays,"she added. Johnson, a Bellingham native active in the Bellingham Guilds for Retarded Children the past13 years, was the first paid staff member of the handicapped center. She directs a staff of threesupervisors, one Program for Local Service volunteer, and a sales clerk. While the center is waiting for anew home, Johnson is trying several new ideas which may be incorporated into the center's operations in the future. She will- be trying out a new styrofoam cutting machine which ". . . works something like asaber saw. It cuts around a pattern of whatever shape you like." With it, her clients would be able to cutout shapes of animals for sale as decorator items. "I've also had them working with decoupage, andmaking knit scrubbers." All of these items could be incorporated into HARD SELL — Since theBellingham Handicapped Center storefront was closed due to the Columbia Hotel fire, a new retail outlethas been the first priority. the center's regular line of products, which includes hand-woven rugs, yardagegoods, pot holders and wooden dog houses. "Right now I'm very concerned about the psychologicaleffect all this is having on my clients. They really enjoyed their jobs." While on the job, the employes ofthe center work six hours a day, four days a week. "They don't make a lot of money at this. They justenjoy doing it." Trouble shooting for handicapped CAROLYN CRAIG Helping people to help themselves.And doing a good job of it. That is Western's policy in dealing with the handicapped, and the college has a statewide reputation of doing just that, according to Mary Robinson, affirmative action officer. "Theobjective of our program here at Western is to act mainly as a troubleshooter and facilitator for thehandicapped student," Robinson said. "We offer advice and assistance, but encourage students to solveproblems on their own whenever possible." Robinson has been instrumental in developing andimplementing Western's policies and programs in regard to the handicapped. She was the driving forcebehind the organization of the first help center for the handicapped in 1971. "It's just like a lot of otherthings, nobody else was doing it and it needed to be done," Robinson said. Most problems concerninghandicapped students are dealt with through the Office of Student Affairs. Prior to her acceptance of thefull-time affirmative action position this quarter, Robinson was responsible for academic problems of thehandicapped as associate dean of students. "Many things are double hard for the WHEELCHAIRHASSLES - This gravel walkway leading to Arntzen Hall and the Northwest Building has been criticizedas one of the problem areas for handicapped people on campus. handicapped," Robinson said, "and alltoo often that is not considered. For instance, many professors don't realize what a hardship it is forsomeone who is lipreading when they mumble or talk to the blackboard." Robinson helped to coordinatea number of workshops to acquaint faculty members with the problems handicapped students face. Thecampus also creates many physical obstacles to the handicapped. Many things as elementary as stairsand curbs are not so easily navigated by the student in a wheelchair. "Huxley is bad," Robinson said,"the gravel walkways up the hill weren't made for wheelchairs." "Things are getting done, it just takestime," Robinson said. "Of course, I'm never satisfied with the speed with which things are done aroundhere, but I can't put muself into everyone else's workshoes." Robinson worked for several months prior to the "sudden" appearance of the ramps in front of the Viking Union. Last quarter, Robinson prepared apamphlet which outlines facilities and policies of interest to the handicapped student consideringentrance to Western. The pamphlet* contains information concerning buildings and campus access,describing, for instance, which buildings are easily accessible to students in wheelchairs. It alsoexplains the facilities available in two rooms located in Wilson Library which were created specifically toaid the handicapped, with books in Braille and large print, tape recorders, and record players. A varietyof services for handicapped students are handled by the Office of Student Affairs. These includeadvisement and referral services, and assistance in working with public agencies, such as the StateServices for the Blind. As affirmative action officer, Robinson's main responsibility lies in enforcement ofthe equal employment opportunity policy at Western. This policy prohibits discrimination on the basis ofrace, color, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or, and this is a recent addition, the presence of asensory, mental, or physical handicap. "Handicapped people can do valuable work, they just need to begiven the chance to prove it," Robinson said. ---------- Western Front - 1975 February 11 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Tuesday, February 11, 1?75 • ? Disabled in dilemna with product design BOBSPEED and BARRY MADDOCKS The average household, comfortable for the majority of people, can bea nightmare for a handicapped person. Product design is a fundamental problem faced by allhandicapped people. Products are made for the "average" consumer, and in the' process, the needs ofthose who live outside a narrow definition of "normal" have been overlooked. As a result, the handicapped minority either must be dependent on others, do without many items others take for granted or gothrough much more trouble to get a task done. Handicapped people, including people whose onlyhandicap is being left-handed, have been refused jobs because of machine design or other factors mostpeople never consider. Most office desks, for example, won't accommodate the width of a wheelchair.And even left-handed people often have trouble working in machine or car repair shops and otherbusinesses due to current design standards. Products requiring modification for use by the handicappedare all around us: clothes, homes, automobiles and other transportation, and home appliances. Kitchenand appliance design represent one of the biggest hassles in everyday life for the blind, the physicallydisabled, the deaf and the aged. Deaf people have special needs including beds that trigger an alarm inevent of fire or other emergency. The blind need sound signals and Braille or raised lettering on doors,switches and signs. For the physically disabled and the aged, needs include more one-story, groundlevel BARRY MADDOCKS - Even sharpening a pencil can be difficult. housing. Weak people havespecial problems with heavy doors and many types of faucets, to name two examples. Many physicallyhandicapped people require specially designed clothing. Appliances requiring use of two hands (sewingmachines) or strength (irons) are frustrating items. Transportation to stores or work is another problem.Blind people need Braille or raised lettering to tell busses and routes apart. To people in wheelchairs,busses are totally inaccessible without assistance. Through product redesign, many of these problemscould be alleviated. Maddocks: 'productivity is the key' BOB SPEED If action is needed on behalf ofhandicapped people at Western, in Bellingham or in the state of Washington, Barry Maddocks will befound in the thick of it. Maddocks, who suffers from cerebral palsy, is severely physically handicapped.Speech is difficult for him, but what he has to say is worth slowing down a few minute to listen. Oncampus, Maddocks works to see that handicapped people - can more easily get to classes, acrossstreets or wherever they may need to go. At city council meetings, he voices concern over the fact thatthe only way a wheelchair-confined person can reach the council chambers is by way of an elevatorleading to the city jail; or that low-rent housing, essential to the handicapped and the aged, isdisappearing, leaving nowhere else to go. Maddocks is a local expert on the problems of thehandicapped, and is a member of the Washington State Governor's Committee for the Handicapped.There, his expertise is valuable in drafting legislation to help the handicapped. Maddocks was a studentat Western two years ago, majoring in business administration and plans to return. Currently, he attendsclasses locally, learning Braille and sign language. "It's comparable to learning a foreign language," hesaid. His goal is a job helping the handicapped. This will require communication with blind and deafpeople. "To me, money is secondary," Maddocks said. "What counts more than anything else is that we (handicapped) help ourselves with our basic needs and that we help our neighbors help each other." ToMaddocks, productivity is the key. "Whether a person is handicapped because of age, birth defect ordisease or accident," he said, "that person needs to be productive in order to a c h i e v e confidence and self-esteem %2^ q/ a* etea+*. *4 /tzteti/Sntd c~^»p, ktcn *A a /ef/£ J0*ne/t4tt$* At yem4weefAeatf. r 'cu give fat 4e/nr,/n,t?ia *0 "evetv 9**S fove4* lt;7 /? lt;^S(! \ wet4. a v e Y ouRemembered...)

Corner of Holly and Cornwall 733-4320 A Deaf couple gives view of silence GARY JOHNSON Glenn and Betty Bocock face many of thesame obstacles other young married couples face and one more — they are both deaf. The Bococksdon't let their loss of hearing handicap their life style. They scuba dive, back pack, attend concerts andplays. Both can speak but not all deaf people can. They expressed discontent with the phrase "deaf and dumb" which our society uses to mean deaf and without speech. In England, the terms deaf with speech and deaf without speech are used. Deaf and dumb in our society has the connotation of deaf and stupidwhich is not accurate. Most deaf people without speech h^ve the capacity to speak but have neverlearned' it because of their deafness. They are not stupid. Glenn has been deaf all his life and learned tospeak. Betty became deaf at the age of four dvje to the measles and could already speak. The Bococksmet in Seattle, have been married for almost four years and are presently living on Lummi Island for the"peace and quiet." "It couldn't be any better," Glenn said. "We have the same handicap and understandeach other," Betty said. "Most people who are deaf marry a deaf person. It's very common within the deaf community." The Bococks have taught sign language through the free university in Bellingham for threequarters and plan to teach it again. "Sign language is very easy to learn. If I can teach it to "my dog I can teach it to anybody," Glenn said. Their dog, a huge black great dane, is named "clap, clap" in signlanguage. He is called when the Bococks clap their hands twice. The dog knows many commands thatare everyday signs for the deaf and is trained to come to them when their doorbell rings.

In the future the Bococks would like to establish some sort of service for the deaf. They would like more deaf people tosee the world and not just sit on a shelf With Other deaf people. Glenn and Betty, both juniors atWestern and majoring in psychology, plan careers in counseling the deaf. "Our goal is to work with thedeaf," Glenn said, "not for the deaf." Blind find help at library BILL GRAVES Wilson Library has aspecial room with books that talk. The room contains equipment that enables the blind and those withonly partial vision to read. And the library provides a second room without the special equipment wherethe visually handicapped can study. Originally there was only one room. A second room was providedlater because some of the equipment in the resource room was noisy and distracting to students whowere trying to concentrate. The resource room was first made available in October 1972. Except for thetelevision monitor provided by Wilson Library, all of the equipment in the resource room has beenprovided by contributing organizations. The Bellevue Lions Club, for example, donated a Braille typewriterfor the room. A large print version of "Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary" "was purchased with part of a memorial fund created in honor of Nick Borovikoff, a blind student and Western graduate whodied in the summer 1972. The Northwest Foundation for the Blind contributed a reel to reel tape recorder. Other equipment in the room includes a record player, closed circuit TV, Braille version of the "American Vest Pocket Dictionary," Braille version of "Webster's Student Dictionary," Braille version of the "NewTestament," and catalogs from the American Printing House for the Blind for ordering Braille publications, large print publications, music publications, educational aids and talking books. In order to use the room a student must obtain a permit from the Office of Student Affairs. This permit is exchanged at thelibrary's circulation desk for a key to one of the two rooms. When the student is finished, he turns thekey in and gets his permit back. Besides visually handicapped students, only readers for the blind andpeople making tapes for the blind are allowed to use the rooms, Karlin Frederick, assistant to AssociateDean of Students, said. * • # • :1E 4*4 4Ut "MJfa. ••:« * •••. •#*.* BRAILLE — Resources for visually handicapped students are available at Wilson Library. Cross said visuallyhandicapped students are not required to use the resource room or the special study room. There areother small rooms and sound-proof booths throughout the library that blind students can use to recordand listen to recordings. Though currently there are fewer visually handicapped students at Western than usual, Frederick said the rooms have been used a lot in the past and even have been crowded at times.The library will make provisions for other handicapped students as the need arises, Cross said. It has anelavator that those in wheel chairs can use. Tffey can come through the basement service door, use aphone just inside, and call for the elevator. Handicapped children 'get in the swim' at Carver Gym MONAJOHNSON About 40 handicapped people, mostly children, get into the swim of things every Saturdaymorning at Carver Gym's pool. A staff of seven volunteers and six paid workers, most of them Westernstudents, operate a swimming program as part of an all-day recreation program run for physically and em o t i o n a l l y handicapped persons. The program is supported by state and federal funds. Thechildren arrive at campus on a bus. In the locker rooms the swimmers undress with as little aid from thestaff as possible and then sit at the pool's edge waiting for the signal to hop in. Once they are in thewater, they participate in group exercise for about five minutes to warm up according to Rick Anderson,a graduate student involved with the program. The exercises consist of practicing proper breathing,kicking and stroking. The large group is then divided into four smaller ones and participates in one halfhour of lessons. After 15 minutes of free time to swim the activity in the pool is concluded with a game iftime permits. About 30 of the children are brought from two group homes in the Bellingham area and the rest of the children are from families in the community. Several adults often come from a rest home. W e s t e r n student Pat Reichenberger was active in the program this fall as part of a requirement in aclass for special education majors. This quarter he is continuing as a volunteer. "Many of the kids don'tget much exercise so they tire easily," Reichenberger said. "Swimming is something almost anybodycan learn, and it's good physical activity for just about anyone." Keeping the children's attention, getting them to concentrate and overcoming e y e - h a n d or eye-foot coordination are the major problems inworking with the handicapped, Reichenberger said. The program can still use more volunteers,according to Anderson. Volunteers do not have to be outstanding swimmers, as a lifeguard is at thepool at all times, Anderson said. Interested persons should contact the Special Education Office atMiller Hall 318.

"I think they're the best because we have so many workshops and activitycenters," Thompson said. "Some counties don't have any of these programs. To my knowledge, we'reway ahead of everybody." The Whatcom County Board for the Developmentally Disabled oversees all the various guilds, agencies and committees that provide these services. According to a board report, thereare over 100 agencies and organizations which pump upwwards of $1.5 million into help for thedevelopmentally disabled. Under the board's definition, developmentally disabled people include the blind, retarded, victims of cerebral palsy, and people with almost any type of handicap which retards theirability to earn a living and function in society. Here is a partial list of the major programs available for thedevelopmentally disabled in the county: -Serving People in Need (SPIN), which consists of area highschool students who provide social events for mentally retarded teenagers and adults. -Workshop for the Handicapped, now located in the Garden Street Methodist Church because fire razed their old workshopin the Columbia Hotel. Their activities include weaving, sewing and woodworking. The workshop will holda sale of rugs, placemats and other work tomorrow and Thursday at the church to raise funds for a newbuilding. -Hampton Heights, an intermediate care facility housing adult retarded, provides room andboard and some personal care. - S a t u r d a y Recreation Program, which presently providesrecreational opportunities for 61 people of all ages at Roosevelt School and swimming in Western's pool. -Washington Association of Training Centers, Inc. which comprises three programs. A preschoolprogram, presently serving 12 children, prepares them for enrollment in public schools, includingdevelopment of self-help skills, motor c o o r d i n a t i o n , communication skills and interpersonalawareness. A post-school program for people unable to work, emphasizes the development of social,motor and basic living skills through relationships with peers and the community and includes recreationand art and crafts. And, Northwest Industries, an employment training program that teaches skills andwork habits leading to a further stage of employability. In addition, there are two new group homes, onein Ferndale housing 10 people up to 18-year-olds and the Illahee group home in Bellingham which houses 20 people 19-years-and older. There are also programs at Whatcom Community College, severalsummer camps including the Salvation Army Camp at Timberlake and Camp Horizon in Lynden and aChild Studies Clinic in Bellingham which tests children to determine if they are developmentally disabled. The city government also is working to help developmentally disabled people overcome the problemsthey encounter in the'"normal" world. Among projects funded by the Bellingham City Council for 1975 are: texturing crosswalk lines, putting Braille and large print labels on bus benches indicating their location,leveling city sidewalks, putting raised numbers inside and outside existing elevators and putting Brailleand print cards on buses, indicating name and number. Also funded by the city council are programs tobuild wheelchair ramps on at least 75 curbs in the business district, signs indicating wheelchair accessto public buildings, and the publication of a brochure indicating all facilities that can accommodate thephysically handicapped. Students1 designs aid disabled SUKI DARDARIAN Ronnie's brain wasdamaged at birth, Tim and Gary both are victims of cerebral palsy and Mark is confined to a wheelchair. What separates these children from other handicapped people is that Western technology studentshave done and still are. doing things to make life a little easier for them. Unable to speak or control hermovements, Ronnie's main mode of communication was by using alphabet cards strung over thefireplace. Her mother would assist her in selecting the right cards through which to convey her message. That was until students working through the Western Design Center became aware of R o n n i e ' sproblem and developed a device to facilitate communication for her. D a n N o v a k , Scott Richardson,Ann Sabee and Margaret Jaske pooled their e f f o r t s last spring and d e v e l o p e d a machine w h ic h - w i t h slight arm pressure—enables Ronnie to indicate "yes," "no," and "maybe." This ' project,and many more, are products of center activity. The center was developed for students who wanted totake on projects geared towards community service. Although the designs are developed directly for the ' people of the community, many other handicapped people are indirectly benefiting from the designstudents' efforts. "Our object is to design things for human use," Marvin Southcott of the technologydepartment and director of the center said. "If the students can learn to design for severely limitedhumans, they can apply that skill to all sorts of designs." Dan Novak, a design student in-technology,has now devised' another system through which Rommie can communicate. He's designed a complexvariation of a typewriter. This device takes advantage of the very limited range of movement of Ronnie'sleft forearm, the only part of her body over which she has control. Another device is a book page-turnerfor a woman who is totally paralyzed, except for her head. This paraplegic woman operates theautomatic page-turner through the motion of her head. "This device is a prototype and still needs thebugs worked out of it," Novak said. Tim was another youngster thankful for the appearance of Westernstudents. Tim was destined to remain in a wheelchair or to lie on his back . . . until Leonard Parks andDavid Wege attended to his problem. Parks and Wege created a bright red prone body support whichenables Tim's head to be supported while lying on his stomach. This new position frees Tim's arms,which permits him to play, a pastime that has great therapeutic value. Tim's therapist has stated thedevice is assisting in straightening out Tim's taut-muscled legs. Gary is another child in the sameposition as Tim. Dan Foley and John Solis designed a plexiglass swivel chair and desk, which gives himsupport across his chest and under his arms. This allows Garv to exercise his abdomen muscles andlower torso. Now Gary can play, too. Mark was confined to a wheelchair. When technology studentsJohn Gunther, Gene Fosheim and Kenneth Erlwine learned of Mark's disability, they designed a wheeled crawler for him. The crawler helps Mark to coordinate his arm and leg movements. F o l l o w i n g M ar k 's introduction at the hospital to the new device, he immediately set off down the hall oblivious toanything but his newly acquired freedom. "What we are doing is a p p l y i n g humanity and technology for the benefit of t h e human condition," Southcott said. "And at the same time we're helping thepeople who aren't ~_being helped."

This is one of the points brought out at the first of three seminars on drugs, alcohol and alternatives todrugs. The . seminar was held Thursday by Don Williams of biology faculty in the Ridgeway Dining Hall. Nicotine is an insecticide, Williams said, and the plant that produces nicotine keeps insects away."We live in a drug culture where moderation in using drugs should be applied," Williams said. He alsospoke on the pharmacology of alcohol, coffee, heroin, morphine, hallucinogens, amphetamines,marijuana, barbiturates and tranquilizers. Thursday, alcohol will be the topic of "The Bottle and theBody." Judy Deiro of the Alcohol Information Service in Bellingham and Susan Verry of t h e WhatcomCounty Counseling and Psychiatric Clinic will be guest speakers. The following Thursday, Feb. 20,Associate Dean of Students Ray Romine will talk on the causes and alternatives to drugs and drug use,with emphasis on such alternatives as transcendental meditation, massage and yoga.

B i r n a m Wood is c o l l e g e - o w n e d studentapartments on College Parkway east of Buchanan Towers. Previously enforcement in this area waslimited to keeping fire lanes clear for emergency vehicles and other traffic. According to R.G. Peterson,security director, "We have started enforcing the Birnam Wood lot just like any other lot on campus,except that permits are not required on cars." Peterson said this policy was at the request of thehousing office and had been approved by Housing Director Pete Coy. However, Coy stated he was notaware of any recent change in the enforcement policy. "To my understanding we are enforcing parking(in Birnam Wood) in fire lanes and in front of garbage dumpsters," said Coy. "This has always been thepolicy and there is no change to my knowledge." Reputation should equal quality Editor, Western Front: The arguments used in defense of "For Handel" are fascinating. Left-handed students plead for moredesks Editor, Western Front: Western's current enrollment is 8,697. That means, according to nationalpercentages that 12.3 per cent, or 1,070, of. these students are left-handed. When will the college beginto show these people some consideration? There are left-handed -desks in only two of 85 classrooms— in Arntzen Auditorium and Lecture Hall 4. The total number of left-handed desks is 47. Forty-sevendesks for 1,070 students! We feel that at least 10 per cent of all desks should be left-handed. If you areright-handed, imagine taking a long final screwed around in a left-handed desk. We think you'll see whywe want more desks for left-handed students. Robert A. Lewis Eric Grant Dale Capps Kay GregoryRick Lee Dennis McManus Doug McCalee Left-Handed Students Committee Nikonos STATE HOLLY734-5900 Virginia Wright said students are unable to judge art. Apparently only wealthy foundationexecutives have this rare ability. Di Suvero labels his critics "Philistines." He assures us that Handelwould have liked having a tripod named in his honor, though I suspect the baroque master would ratherhave seen the well worn pianos in the music building repaired. Bob Speed claims student c r i t i c shave "red neck attitudes" with "overtures of Archie Bunker." Moreover, they i g n o r e e n v i r o n m e n t al devastation, the plight of the poor, and are candidates for a logging camp! Such incisive argument isirrefutable. Richard Francis admires it because its creator appreciates B e e t h o v e n quartets, is"critically acclaimed," "much admired," has had works accepted elsewhere,. and is an " e l o q u e n tand humanely educated man." Unfortunately these narrow minded students just can not understand that reputation should equal quality. Gwendolyn Gottberg likes it because Di Suvero hopes lovers will holdhands beneath it. Others point out that it has "strength and size," is "lyrical and light," and "from everyangle the lines change." It introduces "new forms and perspectives" on the campus and "brings motionto the plaza which before was lifeless and bare." These descriptions fit any Rockefeller owned oilderrick. Since capitalist art reflects the taste of the bourgeoisie, why not rechristen "For Ford" andnationalize Di Suvero after he is through with the oil companies.

Asst. coach StanBianchi Randall philosophy rubs off a 21-1 28-18 BART POTTER The job of junior varsity basketballcoach is thankless. It requires versatility and long hours of work; it is an unpaid position. Stan Bianchi, a 1966 Western graduate returned this year to coach the jayvees and assist head coach Chuck Randall."I was glad to have a chance to work under Coach Randall," Bianchi said. He said his entire philosophyof coaching was learned from Randall. "He's been kind of a father to me," Bianchi said. Bianchi was athree-year letterman for Randall and was captain of Western's 1966 Evergreen Conference championshipteam. He has held school records for field goal and free throw accuracy. After graduation, Bianchi took a job at tiny Adna High School in southwest Washington, where he becaue a jack-of-all-trades. In addition to teaching biology and physics, he head-coached football and track, assisted in basketball, and drove a school bus.in the morning. The next year he moved to Blaine High School. While head basketball coachthere, his teams compiled a 61-45 record. His 1974 squad placed third in the State "A" tournament.Bianchi said basketball has changed little since he started playing at Western. "Players are bigger,stronger, and better coached now," he said. Rule changes in the game have been beneficial, he said,with one exception. "I'd like to see the 'stuff brought back," Bianchi said. Bianchi said other coacheshave complained of modern-day athletes' declining interest and dedication toward sports. However, hehas never found that to be true of Western basketball. "I think players here are as dedicated or morededicated to basketball than when I was playing," he said. For the future, Bianchi would like to obtain his principal's certification. He is on sabbatical leave from Blaine and likely will return there. He would like tocoach again, he said, because "I really enjoy the kids I work with." OSU ruggers learn on tour OregonState University's rugby club came to Bellingham with a 5-2-1 record, but had a lot more experience than that record shows. This past summer the Beaver team toured Wales and England. OSU coach WoodyBennett said it was a "great educational experience and we hope we can pass on some of what welearned to our opponents " "We all learned the origin of the game and the little tricks most of theirplayers have picked up playing the game all their lives," he continued. "The least experienced guy weplayed against over there had been playing rugby nine and a half years." Bennett was also impressedwith the foreign "more skilled" players who have organized leagues even down to the "Pee Wee" level."They play with such excellence and especially a finesse of passing. It is unbelievable. They were all so skilled that it was like playing against 15 backs at all times," Bennett said. The OSU rugby club is notfunded through the athletic department but through the recreational department and received studentbody money to go on their tour. Bennett teaches the rugby class there in the winter and spring quartersbut is not paid Oregon State scored two second half tries and made good on both conversions to edgeWestern's Rugby Club 12-8 last Sunday. The match was played at Greenlake's Evans Pool playfield inSeattle after snow and ice forced cancellation of the scheduled matchup behind Carver Gym Saturdayafternoon. Stan Fritz and Kelowna Crow scored early tries to give Western an 8-0 halftime lead, butOSU roared back with fresh players in the second period to wear down and polish off the ,Viks. for hiscoaching duties. He also works in a local tavern. "Never letting the ball out of control" was the mostimportant thing the OSU players learned on their tour, according to the coach.

The victory avenged a 30-17 loss last month. "This is anupset. We were really up for them and we just turned it around," a happy coach Rick Iversen said. "Tom Weinheimer fat 177 pounds) and Mike Clark (at 190 pounds) really did a job tonight." With Westerndown by four points, Weinheimer tied in his match with Greg Lowvier and Clark beat Lou Christian, 9-0.The SFU match was wrestled according to freestyle, rather than intercollegiate rules, and this had someeffect on Western's performance. Sencenbaugh and Aigner posted 3-1 won-lost records to leadWestern. Dave Chapman scored a pin over his opponent from Whitworth. The Vikings travel to KlamathFalls, Ore., for the E v e r g r e e n C o n f e r e n ce championships this weekend. Looking back on theseason, Iversen said he really can't pick out any outstanding individuals on his team because so manyof them have improved since the start of the season. They ended the season with a 5-8 record. Clark'swin, coupled with two SPC forfeits to Steve Wiles (118) and Steve Morgan (heavyweight), cinched thematch for Western. Other Western winners were Mark Sencenbaugh (at 150 pounds) and Bruce Aigner(at 167 pounds) over Dave Manohan and Dave Hagen, respectively. "Mark (Sencenbaugh) did a goodjob tonight. He tied his man the last time they wrestled," said Iversen. Western also beat WhitworthCollege 24-18 Wednesday.

Four Vikings hit double figures for thegame, led by Craig Nicholes and Bobby Nicol with 15 points each. Chuck Price added 14 and RobVisser notched 13. The Mountaineers, who last week upset Eastern Washington by 22 points, openedwith a slow, deliberate offense. With the help of several Western turnovers, they built an 11-4 lead.However, two quick baskets by Nicol and another by Price sliced the Mounties lead to 11-10. A fast-break layup by Price gave the Vikings their first lead at 14-13. The lead changed hands until Visser hit abaseline jumper and two free throws for a 21-17 Western lead. The Viks maintained that margin to lead27-23 at halftime. Eastern Oregon, continuing to slow the tempo at the start of the second half, crept towithin one point at 32-31 on a bucket by Dennis Jensen with 14 minutes left in the game. The Viks,v ledby Nicol and Dick Bissell, responded to outscore the Mountaineers 13-2 in the next four minutes to takea comfortable 45-33 lead. Eastern Oregon never seriously threatened again. A brief comback effort ledby Mountaineer guard John Huff pulled EOSC within nine points with seven minutes remaining. ButNicholes scored three quick buckets to open a 63-47 lead and put the game away. The Vikings hit 27 of57 shots from the field in the contest for 47 per cent and cashed in 17 or 22 free throws for 77 per cent.Eastern Oregon made 24 of 66 field goal attempts for 36 per cent and hit 8 of 10 free throws for 80 percent. Western controlled the boards 48-31. Visser pulled down 13 rebounds to take game honors whileBissell and Keith Lowry grabbed seven each. Terry McClary led the Mountaineers with eignt boards.Play was sloppy throughout the game, with Western piling up 22 turnovers and EOSC 18. Huff led theMountaineers scoring with 12 points. McClary and Jim Crawford hit 11 each and Chris Smith had 10.Roger Thomas, the Mounties' leading scorer, was held to just two points by the Viking defense. Vikettes win The Vikettes rumbled to their sixth straight basketball win with a 72-64 win over Seattle PacificCollege last week in Carver Gym. Claudia Haaker, Western's center, drew applause from the sparsecrowd when she entered the game with five minutes remaining in the second half. Haaker, who had been sidelined for a week with a sprained ankle, sunk four field goals in four attempts, blocked a shot, anddealt out two assists, before the halftime b r e a k . Western had a comfortable 42-24 lead. SPC begancatching up in the second half as both teams ran fastbreak offenses and full-court presses. But theclosest margin SPC managed was 66-59 with three minutes remaining. Western's victory was never injeopardy, however, as Vik C o a c h Lynda Goodrich substituted liberally during the entire second half.Haaker finished the game with 16 points, while Diane Bjerke, Western forward scored 15. PlaymakerCharmon Odle made 10 points and six steals. The Vikettes, two-time defending regional champions,are 10-4 for the season. Yippie!

With my usual nose for news, I smelt something was wrong. My first call was toNorm Love of Bellingham Public Works. Love checked out my complaint (he said it was the first one hehad received) the same day I called. He reported "the sewer was running free and clear." Instead, theculprit turned out to be the natural gas regulator station right next to the manholes. A call to Bob Burke of Cascade Natural Gas Corp. confirmed this. The smell was checked out over the weekend, and according to Burke, "there was a seep in the inlet side of a shut-off valve." When I talked to Burke on Feb. 3, hesaid the leak would be fixed that afternoon by sealing the fitting.

ACROSS FROM FRED MEYER 734-3755 Skills lab designed to help Manystudents have room for improvement in their academic skills. That's the purpose of the skills lab located in Miller Hall 256D. Basically, center for needs help academic writing, test buildup, etc one of the for running it's a research any student who in any of his skills: reading, taking, vocabulary .," RodneyLewis, people responsible the lab, explained. The lab is set up to facilitate any student—no matterwhat his study problem. It's flexible in regard to a student's schedule. The lab has a general enrollmentof about 25 students per quarter. These students pay a $3 fee for a basic test which gives the labinstructors an idea of the s t u d e n t s ' strengths and weaknesses. The money goes toward funding for tests the next quarter. Lewis, coordinator of the lab for the Office of Minority Programs, said, "I hadsome deficiencies myself which is how I got started with the lab." He noted that students with gradepoints of 3.5 or higher who come to the lab often have poor study habits or are disorganized. They comeout and improve even more on their high academic level. Lewis stressed the lab is open to all studentsand the people there are willing to help beyond just the academic side of things. "If people havepersonal problems or a lack of confidence in themselves and . they want help we'll talk to them," saidLewis. "It takes a lot of courage to admit you've got a problem and to seek help," he added. Lewis, apsychology major, runs the lab with Lavinia Thornton, a graduate student. H. O. Beldin is the head manand consultant for the lab which was started by the reading department. the lazy way to (not just pass- excel!) student's excel I used to be a student. I still am for that matter even though I'm no longerenrolled in an academic institution. More importantly, I used to study hard — the midnight cramsessions — the 7-day weeks. But I didn't start making good grades until I learned some amazingsecrets about studying and about myself — secrets that I have never shared with anyone else until now. This information could be worth more to you than all the money in the world. What's more, I feel soconfident about that claim that I'm going to request that you send me 10 dollars for something that willcost me less than 1 dollar to produce. And I'll even make the offer sound so astonishing that you'll besorry if you don't accept it. How can I make such a statement? Because I'm in the business of sellingeducational information for a profit — just like a professional daily newspaper or a lawyer. SamuelJohnson once said, "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Besides, if I didn't make agood profit, you'd assume my education was wasted and whatever I have to offer you is thereforeworthless. Yet I can unconditionally guarantee its results! In fact, I will make you the most unusualguarantee in the world. And that is: I won't even cash your check or money order for 20 days after I'vesent you my material. You'll have plenty of time to look it over and try it out. If you don't agree that it'sworth a hundred times what you paid, simply send it back and I'll return every penny of your investment— even if you've marked in it. The material I'm going to send you will explain in detail what took me 12years to perfect and put down on paper. And it's going to be the biggest bargain you ever bought — How to pass school the lazy man's way. I call it "The Lazy Man's Way" because the wisest man I ever metonce said," "Anything is easy once it's fully understood." Now, I don't mind bragging just a little to provemy point. Because unless I do, you won't be motivated enough to try my guaranteed method. You see, Iwent from a 2.1 GPA (4.0= A system) to a term average of over 3.5, while taking similar courses yetmore units, merely by using the methods spelled out in my material. What's more, I have copies of myofficial transcripts to prove it! And I'll show you exactly how I accomplished this while at the same timeholding your money in 'escrow' until you're completely satisfied that reviewing my material is the smartest thing you ever did. All in all, I give you more than 150 pages filled with proven methods on how to study,how to take exams, how to budget your time for greater efficiency, how to overcome anxiety, plusnumerous other ways of getting better results with less work and more fun — real, practical ideas youcan put to work at once. The concepts include: 4 steps to goal achievement; 6 steps to better reading;key factors in memory retention; demonstrated ways to take meaningful notes — plus proven tips onlistening, as well as passing both subjective and objective type examinations. If all this sounds too goodto be true, I don't blame you. Because there has never been a program like this before — a system thatshows you how to raise your GJP.A. by simply using the natural talents you possess right now. Itdoesn't require "intelligence". I'm considered by most to be average. Nor does it require "luck". You see, I sincerely believe that we make our own good fortune. And it certainly doesn't require "effort" in the sense that effort is hard work. Work is only hard if we dislike the task at hand. Rather, it simply requires"belief. Enough belief to put the simple concepts into action. Enough belief to absorb the material. If youdo that, I guarantee (remember, I said, guarantee) the results will be astonishing.

The reality of this new consciousness has been recognized anddocumented by John D. Rockefeller 3rd's Task Force on Youth, a group founded to provide research datato help individuals who are designing bridges between youth and the Establishment. After a few whirlwind years of demonstrations against the war, sit-ins against intransigent college administrations, protestsagainst on-campus military recruiting and the draft, and crusades in the name of minorities and the poor,we know that the American campus will never be the same. Certainly the nation will never be the same,and—without a doubt—we shall never be the same. The politicalization of the campus, though, hasbeen costly. A strong voter-supported backlash from state legislatures, coupled with faltering stateeconomics, has brought higher tuitions and fees, faculty cuts, repressive codes of conduct, and slashedoperational budgets at state-supported colleges and universities in most parts of the nation. With bothinternal and external pressures, the move is now on to restructure our higher educational system. It willbe its first major overhaul since the turn of the century. While it is necessary to change curriculums andtraditional teaching methods, we must remember that it is the human element which must change before the system itself can change. This campus—not unlike many—is plagued with an administration which has isolated itself from the campus community, a faculty which will not take a small salary cut topreserve 18 teaching jobs, students who volunteer for important committees and fail to attend meetings,and a student government which has failed to provide responsible leadership. If changes are to be madeat this campus, we must learn that they will come only after we have changed personal attitudes.—John Stolpe y x \ Cooper Exits Office in Bitter Mood Says He's 'Tired and Burned Out' -See page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, VOLUME 63, NUMBER 59 • M l * ---------- Western Front - 1971 June 2 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Wednesday, June 2, 1971 ®rf (Largest selection of hiking and mountaineering boots in Bellingham!) 215 E.

"The average student here could care lesswhat happens at this institution," he said. He compared Western's students to those of Eastern schoolsand found Western's not motivated to learning, possibly due to the isolation of the campus and themiddle-class background of students. "I was really an idealist when I began. I thought we could reallyturn-on the students, I thought students mobilized could ferret out needed changes," he said. "But thefailure of the Curriculum Commission Report, especially the students' reaction, disillusioned him. Galling it the major issue of the year, he said "When Western students had the chance to put themselves onthe map, they failed." The students' reactions to the Report reflected faculty brainwashing, he said, noting that students are not as liberal as they'd like to think. "We ought to give the faculty what they deserve-unthinking, unmotivated students. That's what the faculty, with the exceptions of Richard Vawter, DavidPevear and Ralph Thompson, likes," he said. The faculty resented academic reform being brought aboutby student government instead of themselves, he said. "Most of the faculty here are unwilling to strikeout at something exciting,,put guts into education," he said. This year's AS Legislature, one of the mostdo-nothing ones, was back in the flowery rhetoric of the 1950's, with some foreign policy thrown in,Cooper said. "We battled with AS Legislature all year about student wages. Then, at budget time, therewas no problem because it was time for appointments," he commented. AS L e g i s l a t u r econtinually missed opportunities to "shake some ivy off of Old Main," and let important issues be by-passed, such as statements about the budget, which Cooper termed "fantastic neglect." The type ofstudent government set up by the Daugert proposal will draw a more academically motivated student,instead of one concerned with worldly issues, he hopes. "I don't think student government should beinvoluntarily funded. If we can sell our product, then students would pay a fee at registration time if theyfelt student government was relevant," he said. About 150 people were involved with government thisyear. He said his administration made an effort to recruit people outside the "government family." "Forthe most part, I've enjoyed working with the administration more than with the AS Legislature," he said.He praised President Charles Flora and said that he deserved a better academic institution thanWestern. STEVE COOPER Cooper, after four years in student government, will graduate this summerand plans on attending law school. "I'm pretty cynical, pretty tired and burned out. Four years of studentgovernment are enough. There's no external satisfaction to being president: someone calls you a racist,too liberal, too conservative. It made me grow up a lot, needless to say," he said. Pausing, he reflected,"The experience I received here as AS President for one year far outweighs the academic experiences.When one can say that, when one can count on one hand all the faculty members that get acrossexcitement, interest and creativity, then it's a pretty damning indictment against this system." Computer Center Expands Western's Computer Center will offer more efficient service to computer users in the fall, despite the budget situation. The center, in Bond Hall, has been given a 1961 model computer system. The system, an IBM 7090, was used by the Department of Defense and was given to the State ofWashington under the government surplus program and the state is giving it to Western. Western willonly have to pay the cost of sniping the computer from Maryland. Ken Bell, assistant director of thecomputer center, estimated the shipping cost at about $3,000. The system is crated and ready to go and Bell said he expected it to be shipped shortly. At present the center has no room for the computer, butthe existing machine room was built to allow expansion and no drastic alterations will have to be made.The 7090, although older, is faster than the center's present' computer, an IBM 360/40. This increasedspeed will enable more people to use the facilities per day. The number of computer terminals on campus will be cut back due to the present budget situation, Bell said, but the new computer will allow moreefficient use of the remaining terminals. Students will have more flexibility in arranging terminal time. The addition of the 7090 will enable the center to save money in other areas. The center will be able toprovide more efficient service without a budget increase, Bell said. HAPPENINGS SUGAR AND SPICE-Women, don't let the rest of the world hype you.

CES will lose Dean Ronald Williams; E. Curmie Price, director of Afro-American studies, andVine Deloria Jr., a guest lecturer at the cluster college. Williams will be teaching at Federal CityCollege, Washington, D.C., next y e a r in the Department of Communications Sciences. Price will beteaching at Yale next year and Deloria will join a public interest law firm. While the college willundoubtably miss the three faculty members, CES will continue to improve on the two major goals which helped establish the school in 1969. The Board of Trustees okayed the cluster college on Oct. 9, 1969,on the basis of the school's two major goals: first, to provide an academic setting in which minoritycultures and histories are studies; and secondly, to create instructional procedures that enable the s t ud e n t to assume a greater responsibility for the direction of his studies and the ultimate shaping of hiseducational experience. The college seeks to create an intellectual discipline which centers upon thepolitical, religious, social and c u l t u r a l e x p e r i e n c e s - of Mexican-Americans, American Indians and Afro-Americans. CES is built around six major objectives: —To provide a learning situation whichencourages direct contact between students and faculty. — T o give students primary responsibility forthe emphasis and direction of their learning. -To build maximum opportunity for incidental learning intothe formal and. informal learning situation. —To make appraisal of the student's learning a continuingprocess, to reduce confusions and misunderstandings that accompany all learning and to providesupportive instruction in weak skill areas. —To give undergraduates the experiences of presentinglectures and writing papers which receive faculty and student criticism and publish exemplary lecturesand papers in the CES house-journal. Student participation in writing and publishing will teach the rigorsand responsibilities of scholarship. — To provide students with work-related experiences on Indianreservations, with state and federal agencies, and with business and industry. The CES instructionalprograms make up one-half of the student's course work; the other half of his studies are taken atWestern. Usually students will have enough credit hours to arrange another major or minor. CESencourages its students to acquire a concentration of study outside CES, which will provide them with abroader understanding of the American experience thereby gt; enhancing their appreciation of the roleplayed by minority groups in shaping it. CES structures the first year of study around a theme. Withstudent suggestions, the faculty selects a general theme for the Academic year. The theme for 1969-70was "The Shock of Recognition," this year's is "The Land Question." Each instructor meets each daywith two or three students for a two-hour tutorial. During the tutorial sessions, assigned andrecommended readings are discussed and short critical papers are assigned. All students registered forthe theme within a given program meet for a seminar once a week. The instructional program meets thegeneral requirements of Western in humanities and social sciences. In brief interviews, three CESprofessors were highly favorable to the way the programs are going. Wilfred Wasson, who teachesanthropology of Indians, said, "Education has been highly cultivated into one cultural system. CES givesan opportunity for people to learn something other than the dominant culture." As far as the future isconcerned, Wasson said, "If we can succeed in building an academic program in CES, it might be quitepossible that we will have other schools copying our programs." Price said he wanted to see morerecruiting to bring other Western students into CES. He added, "I think Ethnic Studies is here to staybecause it is a vital part of education. CES allows students to discuss things that they normally haven'tbeen able to before. Francisco Hinojos called Ethnic Studies a "very exciting program." Hinojos, whoteaches Mexican-American classes, said, "There is a strong instructor-student interaction. With tutorials and seminars, we have more time to discuss ideas of the instructor and the students." ReynaldoPascua, a sophomore from Wapato, has been in CES since it started. Pascua is interested in theAsian-American aspects of the college, since he is an American of Filipino descent. Pascua said helikes the opportunity for independent study. Right now he is writing a bibliography of sources of Filipinoinformation as part of his independent study. As far as future hopes of the college, Pascua said, "I hopecourses in CES become a requirement at Western." Pascua added that he would like to see EthnicStudies courses established in high-schools. Ken Howe, one of the first two CES graduates, said CES"is more than just ethnic studies, it's cultural studies. It's up to you to decide how you're related to it."Howe said Ethnic Studies "for Whites, it's mostly just exposure to the minorities; for minorities it's achance to develop their own identity." hall Quarter Recruiting CES is now recruiting students on campus for fall quarter. "We hope to have 160 students fall quarter," Dean Williams said. ^.''.$3!-.SESSION l i f i ii ---------- Western Front - 1971 June 2 - Page 4 ---------- Western Front Wednesday, June 2, 1971 Front Editorials.... " To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted11 Academic Reforms The Academic Council has made significant contributions towardmaking education at Western more bearable and sensible for the students this institution is supposed to serve. Dropping the physical education requirement, reducing the required number of credits forgraduation to 180, i n t r o d u c i n g the possibility for student-faculty majors and making the minorrequirement optional are among the worthiest changes passed by the Council. These outmodedregulations and requirements which had hung on through the years by some quirk of historical precedent were long overdue for a change. The Council is to be commended for recognizing the need for suchchange. The academic scene is still cluttered with unnecessary rules and procedures which harrass thestudents who are after an education. Though these steps by the Academic Council indicate a majorbreakthrough in academic reform, they are only part of a trend which requires further development. Oneof the persons hardest hit by the arbitrary standards and regulations Western imposes is the transfer.Western now gives the transfer student a list of specific courses to follow as an option for the generaleducation requirement. Many times students who transfer from a junior college or another four yearcollege lose many of their credits, especially in general education, because they haven't taken the exactcourses prescribed by Western. They must spend valuable time and money to make up these generaleducation requirements which could be spent much more usefully elsewhere. Optional requirements fortransfer students must become more flexible. Consideration should be given to making the Associate ofArts Degree from the junior colleges equivalent status with two years of work at a four year college. When the system adapts to the people instead of the other way around it will become a human system. It istime students took a serious look at the educational process and take action to reform those areas which hinder the pursuit of an education. The facts must be faced. Students will be paying more and more inthe next two years for less education and fewer services. The time is ripe for reform. Through this reformsome worthwhile and valuable steps can be taken toward changing the academic programs at Westerninto a rational and flexible system for students seeking an education. -Ron Graham Students in JapanWe received a letter yesterday from Paul Glenn, an associate professor at Fairhaven College who iscurrently in Japan -this quarter with nine Fairhaven students as part of the college's study abroadprogram. Glenn informs us that all of the students are living with Japanese families in the city ofTateyama, which is Bellingham's sister city located about 100 miles south of Tokyo. The students teach English in the local junior high schools in the morning and then study various aspects of Japaneseculture during the afternoons. Some are learning to play the koto and samisen while others bone up onthe fine art of tea ceremonies. There are also lessons in Japanese dance, ceramics, doll making,flowerarrangement, Japanese brush painting and language. The study abroad program includes two monthsteaching and studying with an additional month spent on travel and study elsewhere in Japan, althoughpart of the group has chosen to remain in Tateyama. The program is a tribute to the late Dean CharlesHarwood, who originally started it. After Harwood's death, Glenn continued with the arrangements. Thestudy abroad Fairhavenites are sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Tateyama and Bellingham and by thesister city committees in both cities. Glenn, who was made an honorary citizen of Tateyama, notes thateach of the students paid his travel to Japan and pay their own living expenses while in Tateyama. Ourhats are off to such progressive educational programs. We would like to see many more students atWestern drop classes here for a quarter and study in another country. -John Stolpe the western FRONT"The Leading College Newspaper in Washington State" EDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: RonGraham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor COPY EDITOR: Jim Austin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR:Larry Lemon SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Dave Sherman PHOTOGRAPHER!Jim Thomson NIGHT EDITOR Bob McLauchlarv STAFF REPORTERS GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: GlenJones, Jim Thomson, Pat Brennen, Mike Kerr, Rick Ries, Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.ADMINISTRATION: Jim Austin, Mary Peebles, Scott Anderson.

There is a Women's Lib group that's forming squads of karate-trained women who appear at the house of a woman who reported being beaten by her husband. As one organizer of the squad said, "When hereturns from the hospital, he's in no shape to protest." That should keep any guy walking the straight andnarrow. * * * * * THERE IS A small community down South where 19 per cent of the population does notbelieve a man landed on the moon.

Seems a Dr. Norman Cass in San Diego set up a test to find out if men were biggergamblers than women. He started with kids aged six through 10 and gave each a few pennies to play slot machines offering various degrees of risk. Some machines simply returned the penny, while others paidoff on 8-1 odds. Most of the boys went for the high pay offs, while the girls went for the no risk ones. Theconclusion the doctor draws from this is that girls are security-seekers and only like to bet on the surething. WESTERN'S CURRENT BUDGET problems bring to mind a similar incident at another collegeseveral years ago. It seems that $54.98 was sliced from its $20 million budget and the college presidentdecided to tighten the belt. Of course he left intact the administration and the student government so theycould talk with each other. And he left the research staff which was working on the mating habits of thehunched back squirrel. Unfortunately he had to eliminate the entire student body and faculty. * * * * * ITWAS ONLY a few years ago that engineers found out what caused those holes in unpaved roads knownas "washboard."

A power struggle between ASAC and the Bookstore has been building since March over theappointment of a new Bookstore manager. Bookstore manager Ray Knabe is retiring in July and theBookstore Board has chosen Assistant Manager George Elliot to replace him. Several members ofASAC feel that they have the right to make the decision since they claim that the Bookstore is under theViking Union staff and therefore is under ASAC jurisdiction. Flora told the Front that ASAC does not have any relation to the Bookstore Board. "I see nothing in the 1966 ASAC document which says anythingabout hiring a manager," he said. ' Flora said that he may be wrong, but that is his interpretation of thedocument, which lists the powers of ASAC. "I have the power to overrule both the Bookstore board andthe AS Legislature," he added. When asked about the bill passed by ASAC last quarter which asks theAS Legislature to remind the Bookstore Board of its obligations to notify ASAC prior to any openings inthe Bookstore management so that ASAC may begin interviewing applicants for the position, Flora saidthat he did not know about it. Elliot who became assistant manager on Feb. 5, 1968, said that theBookstore Board brought him in with the purpose of making him manager after Knabe's retirement. Hesaid that he will probably 'take over in the middle of August, although it says August 31 in the Bookstoreminutes. He defined the role of the Bookstore as a service organization and feels that he can make it astudent organization. "I strongly believe that with my organizational Housing and Dining How Do You$600,000 in By PAT BRENNEN Front Reporter The Housing and Dining System is considering variousways to spend some of the $600,000-$800,000 it has in its reserve fund, including constructing afieldhouse on south campus, improving Lakewood, converting some residence halls into apartment unitsand providing a security force for the residence areas. Gerald Brock, director of housing, said that theamount in the reserve fund has varied from $600,000 to $1 million during the six years he has held hisoffice. "The money in the reserve fund is not just sitting around," he pointed out. "All of the money will be sent back into the Housing and Dining System in one way or another. We have many plans on how tospend it." He explained that the reserve fund consists of money that has been received in revenue overand above that which is needed to pay off bond debts. "To satisfy investors, we aim for a 1.25 increaseof revenue over bond payments per year, but the school wants us to try to achieve a 1.5 ratio." Toillustrate his point, Brock said that to build new facilities the Housing and Dining System must sell bonds to finance the construction. The system must pay back the money over a certain amount of time at acertain interest rate. The Housing and Dining System determines what the annual payments of all bonddebts will be and then tries to achieve annual revenue that is from 1.25 to 1.5 times better. The excessmoney then goes into the reserve fund. FIELDHOUSE Pete Coy, assistant director of housing, said thefieldhouse idea is a spin-off from the proposed student activity center idea for south campus that recentlywas canceled. The fieldhouse would contain gym space, locker rooms, an equipment checkout area and surrounding ahtletic areas. "It would be a place where one could go to play a little basketball or baseballwithout incurring the wrath of the coaches or getting in the way of one of the teams," Coy said. "All ofthis would be either financed by bonds or paid for with student money. We feel that the off-campushousing students should have the opportunity to use more facilities on campus. As it GEORGE ELLIOTsetup, I could involve more students," Elliot said. Elliot also said that in Friday's Bookstore Boardmeeting $50,000 was set aside for rebate. This year there was $15,000 for the rebate system. He pointed out that this money comes from profits. He said that he believes there will be a discount system ratherthan the rebate. "This means more money to the students," he said. This is because there is not somuch clerical and paperwork involved. Spend Reserves? Coy suggested the fieldhouse idea at lastweek's AS Legislature meeting. He said that he hopes that they will have a committee start getting some plans drawn up for the fieldhouse and Lakewood facilities and submit them to the Housing and DiningCommittee and other administrative offices. "The Housing and Dining Committee has indicated favorableinterest in the fieldhouse idea, but if students want this type of facility they should start putting someeffort in on it," Coy said. LAKEWOOD Coy has indicated that the Housing and Dining System isprepared to allot $150,000-$200,000 for the refurbishing of Lakewood, the school's recreational propertyon the west side of Lake Whatcom. The refurbishing would include a new combination boat andbathhouse, repairs of the existing dock, access roads and parking areas. RESIDENCE HALLS Therehas been some talk, according to Coy, of converting some of the dorms to one-bedroom apartment units. He said that the housing office has plans to convert Highland, Higginson, Beta and Gamma residencehalls to apartment units at a cost of about $2,000 per unit. Each unit would contain a bath, kitchen, living and bedroom area, and would be occupied by two students or a married couple. "With the trend studenthousing is taking, dorms are increasingly difficult to keep full," Coy said. "The apartment-like units suchas Birnam Wood are the popular living area now. Of course, nothing is really definite yet, but hopefullythis may come about in a couple of years." SECURITY The roles of the resident aides in the dorms willchange from that of rule enforcer to that of counselor next fall, Coy said. With the change the housingoffice is considering the possibility of hiring some uniformed security people, possibly students, to patrol dorm halls and to protect students and their property. The security people would be paid by the housing office and would be supervised by the security office. "Their main job' would be to prevent thefts," Coystated.

The autocross is a race against time. It is like a ski-slalom event but with a car ratherthan skis. The driver must take his car as fast as he is able to handle it, through a series of cones andtires set up on a course. This reporter was given a ride in a 1966 Porsche 911 driven by Alex MacDonald in last Friday's autocross event sponsored by Western's Motor Sports Club. MacDonald took first placewhen he weaved through the gates in 35 seconds flat; Stephen Eastlick took second with 36.1 secondsin a 1961 Sprite and Jeffy Erickson placed third with 37.9 seconds in a 1971 Datsun 250Z. The feelingone gets in going through the autocross course is sensational. With speeds of 50 to 60 miles-an-hour on some straightaway sections and some fine handling in and out of the gates, one feels like his head isone step behind the rest of him. You just get used to going one way around a cone when the driverswings the steering wheel the other way. Horsepower does not make much difference in the autocross.In fact, many a Volkswagen have done just as well as your larger high-powered cars. Steering,suspension, brakes and the driver's handling ability are the most important factors. In autocross, fiveseconds are added to a driver's time if he hits a cone or tire. Ten seconds are added for missing a gate.John Hopkins, president of Western's Motor Sports Club, said that the autocross is "very good for peoplein testing themselves and their cars even if they have not raced before." There will be another autocrossfrom 6 to 10 p.m. Friday in lot 17B behind the steam plant. He pointed out that there are several racingclasses including large, medium and small sedans and large, medium and small sports cars. Theseclasses are based on the size of the car and the engine displacement. The club, which was just startedthis year by several Tacoma Community College transfer students, also has sponsored five gymkhanasand two rallies. A gymkhana is similar to an autocross but is much trickier. The driver must backaround cones, and park. Sometimes he is blind-folded and must follow the directions given by anavigator. In a rally a good watch and odometer play an important part. The driveT and nagivator are given a set of instructions on how fast to drive and where to go. The driver must follow these instructionsexplicitly as points will be taken off if the driver is late or early in arriving at the designation. The winner is the driver who follows the instructions the closest. The course of a rally may be as much as 15 to 20miles. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

STUDENTS' STORE Prof essor AttacksEvaluatlonCriteria By LARRY LEMON " Copy Editor Richard Vawter will be terminated as an assistantprofessor of physics in June, 1972, unless he corrects certain "weaknesses" noted in his 1971 annualevaluation. Vawter objects not only to the "weaknesses" attributed to him, but also to what he calls the"research or publish-or-perish" criteria for evaluation. .,,.., * In an interview in his office last Tuesday,Vawter said that the two main weaknesses noted in his termination letter were "slow research and poorupper-division teaching." "The poor teaching charge is not true at all," he said. "The real issue isresearch. They're trying to use my termination letter as a club to make me do something I shouldn't.Research should be done in the larger schools and universities." Vawter is completing his third year atWestern. He received his Ph D in physics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1968and teaching Physics 101 has been his primary assignment at Western. Vawter contends that thepresent evaluation system is based on research and the resulting publications. "My feelings are thatWestern is not a University of Washington, and that the major obligation of this college is to teachstudents," he said. "Taxpayers pay for teaching, not research. "No one has a good method of judging ateacher. The only semi-method, and the one now in use, is to count the number of publications," he said. "To publish, you have to pick out a problem for research that no one cares about," he added. "It's awaste of a lot of energy on an esoteric subject." Vawter said the poor upper-division teaching charge ismeaningless. "I haven't had the opportunity to teach many upper-division courses, and it's not as though1 haven't asked. It's been a year since I've taught above the 200 level," he said. Vawter said that in orderto do research, instructors must cheat their students. "In light of the large student-faculty ratio, it'simpossible to do real research," he said. "Promotion is based on the number of publications a teacherhas to his record," he said. "And physics is probably worse than any other field. To be published, youhave to do research on a remote and hard problem. This takes time, and departments and faculty have tosteal time from their teaching-the easiest way is to make bigger classes. "You can see the end result atthe University of Washington, where there are 500 students in a class and only one multiple-choiceexam," he said. "A student can pass and still not know what the hell's going on. One mid-term and afinal don't give a proper evaluation." Vawter said the current faculty reductions (from 17 to 15 in physicsthis fall) will only harm the faculty-student ratio and make the research problem more acute. "Mytermination letter indicates that if I play ball I will be retained," he said. "I'm not going to be given anyupper-division courses so the only reason for rehiring me would be if I do research. "The major emphasis,whether the administration says so or not, is on the number of publications an instructor has. Survivaldepends on academic esoteric research. It's unfortunate but true," he said. "The system is changing, buteveryone has to do his part," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1971 June 2 - Page 9 ---------- Wednesday, June 2, 1971 Western Front 9 Watchdogs Serve Key Role in Lock Systems Campuswatchdogs might be one way to describe Western's locksmiths Robert and Marion Harmon. From theirtiny lockshop tucked away in the corner of the physical plant, they engineer and maintain all the locksystems in campus. Cutting of the lockshop budget was included in Flora's proposed budget cuts, butStewart Litzsinger, director of the physical plant, said that if monies must be saved in the physical plant,they will be saved in other ways. The lockshop plays too vital a role in safe-guarding the college,students and their property. According to Smith, Western seems to be unique, as it is the only school on the West Coast that does all its key engineering, planning and designing, as well as maintaining thelocking and keying system of a building. Normally done by the manufacturer, the planning might take 6 to 8 months to be done. The campus locksmiths are able to re-key a building in a matter of hours.Locksmiths are becoming a rare breed. Presently there are only about 11,000 locksmiths in the UnitedStates. Locksmithing is not just a trade you pick up, Smith and Harmon said. "It's something you growup with," Smith said. The apprentice might be training for years before his teacher intrusts him with thesecrets of the trade. A locksmith, because of his high-security job and easy access to everything isfinger-printed, bonded and thoroughly investigated by the FBI. In addition to the planning andmaintenance of the lock systems on campus, the locksmiths also keep a careful watch for anyhazardous locks. Strict safety rules on what kinds of locks that can be used in different places are setdown in a building code. The locks in High Street Hall, for example, were found to be illegal, and had tobe completely redone. Faculty Council Sets Priority for Salary Hike Increases in faculty salaries nextyear, if there is enough money to grant them at all, will be given in a priority order approved by theFaculty Council. Mel Davidson, chairman of the Council, said that in the past, increases in facultysalaries have been given out of a "salary pool" created by the Legislature. But for next year, he says,"we re not sure whether there is a pool." When the Legislature passed the new budget, they usedwording which no one has been able to interpret yet. But, even if some funds are available, there will notbe as much money as there has been in the past. Recognizing this, the Faculty Council has setpriorities to be used in determining what types of increases will be made. In setting these priorities, theCouncil scrapped a plan which would have spread any extra money evenly to all faculty members.Increases will be granted in this order: First, merit increases. These are increases by one step in thesalary schedule, granted to faculty members who have special merit. The decision to grant a meritincrease is made by the department and reviewed by the Dean of Western. Second, step increases.These are automatic increases of step in the salary schedule, one each year. Third, cost of livingadjustments. The council has also approved the continued funding of sabbaticals, for which facultymembers receive 3/4 pay. Residence Hall Rules Change with the Times Resident hall living hasliberalized tremendously in the six years that Jerry Brock, director of housing, has been at Western. Sixyears ago students were not allowed to lock their room doors and still had room checks for cleanlinessand illegal products. Students also had to sign in and out of their dorms and had to be in at 11 p.m.weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends. There were no co-educational dormitories. To eat at Saga you hadto wear the proper school clothing-cut-offs were not allowed and to eat dinner on Sundays, male students had to wear ties. In residence halls now, students have 18-hour visitation on weekdays and 20-hourvisitation on weekends. Students can go in and out of the halls any time they choose without beingchecked on. Room checks are not made, except when furniture from the lounges are missing. Brocksaid that the only dress regulations in the Saga eating facilities are something on the feet and body. .„ "They restrict bare feet and bathing suits, Brock said. Two years ago both Higginson and Kappabecame co-ed by floors. This brought a whole new era to residence halls. Next year Omega will becomeco-ed by wings and Beta/Gamma will bde come co-ed by suite the students asked for it, while Beta(men)/Gamma (women) was selected to make it more comparable to off-campus living, Brock said."Beta/Gamma could end up predominately men or women," he said. . Co-ed dorms give housing moreflexibility in placing students, Brock said . "It also appears to be more desirable and comes closer to amore real-life setting," he pointed out. "We do not separate one from the other." Brock sees even moredrastic changes in he future. Passage of the 18-year-old vote would make it lawful for drinking in privaterooms and social visitation would be forgotten, he said. The Board of Trustees is voting in July ondrinking in dorms for those of legal age. The role of the resident aide will be less, he said. Next year, theaid will become more of a counselor and not wholly a law enforcer, although he will retain some power. In the future he will strictly be a counselor, Brock said. "Either our own security force will become thearresting force or the police will be brought on campus," he said. In any event, Brock sees the dorms asbeing more heavy on security "because people do not seem to be able to control their own theBODYSHOP 1112 Cornwall Avenue 7330201 Live Music with BLUEBIRD.

By PAUL MADISON Sports Reporter Another sports year is almost at a close. Only national spring sport championships remain. Fortunately, it seems that the biggest athleticvictory of the year was averting a complete shut-down after next season. . Two Viking teams narrowlymissed Evergreen Conference (Evco) championships, while the basketball squad tied for their title. Thebaseball and football teams both went down to the final weekend of action before being eliminated.Outstanding performances were turned in by numerous individuals, including Glenn Hadland, Vic Randalland Tom Wigg, football; Neal Larson and Gary White, basketball; Lee Andersen, wrestling; Don Balkeand Ron Porterfield, baseball; Mike Vorce and Jim Magee, track and Stever Doerrer, tennis. Andersenearned NAIA All-America recognition for his fourth place finish in the 158-pound class at the wrestlingnationals in Boone, N.C. n , „ , Honorable mention All-America acclaim went to Randall and White.Randall set two school records, intercepting nine passes during the 1970 season at his safety position,for a career total of 26. Guard Neal Larson has an outstanding season in his final year of basketball. "Mr.Hustle," the Vik captain, set season marks in assists (133) and steals (101). Balke and Porterfield hadexcellent seasons this spring on the baseball diamond. Porterfield made the NAIA All-West Coast firstnine as he hit .328 and had a fielding average of .994, making only one error at his first base station allyear. Doerrer paced a fine tennis team to a second place in the Evco tournament. The Vik's No. 1 netterwill join Arnie Larson in representing NAIA District I in the national tournament in Kansas City, Mo. TheWestern soccer squad won the Western Washington Conference Soccer championship for the third yearin a row. The finest contest of the year had to be Western's 14-inning 1-0 baseball victory over EasternOregon. Though no record is available, the game was most likely the longest scoreless battle in Vikinghistory The Vik basketball team's narrow 67-65 loss to Central at Ellensburg would rate a close second.Nearly 500 staunch Viking fans braved an icy Snoqualmie Pass for that one. The Viking crew continuedits rapid improvement. Its biggest triumph was winning the Pacific Lutheran Invitational. Other teamtrophies won were the cager's Turlock Invitational tor the second straight year, and the tracksters firstplace trophy won at the Pacific Lutheran Invitational Relays. Finest coaching innovation was track mentor Dick Bowman s "Superblocks," which were appropriately hailed until they were ruled illegal after twoweeks their opening appearance. Track records set this year were turned in by Vorce, intermediatehurdles (53.4), Magee, 220-yd. dash, (21.7), Bill Long pole vault (14-0), Jim Wilcox, shot put (50-3), andthe 440-yd. relay team of Vorce,' Magee, Dan Wakefield and Mike Page (42.5). All teams had asuccessful rebuilding year, though, and 1971-72 looks to be possibly the finest ever in Western history.Hopefully, it won't be the last.

Whitworth won the district teamcrown with 15 points, followed by Western 11, Central 3, Pacific Lutheran 1 and Eastern Washington noscore. Doerrer and Larson defeated Butch Thomason and Bruce Gorgan of Whitworth in three sets fortheir win. The Vik pair took third in last week's Evergreen Conference (Evco) championships, whereWestern placed second to Southern Oregon. In singles action, Larry Corbin advanced to the semi-finalsbefore being stopped by Thomason. Corbin was Western's top placer in singles. Coach Don Wisemanwas pleased with his Vik team. "We did a real fine job," Wiseman said. "We are just as good asWhitworth and showed it last week." Whitworth took third in the Evco match. "I'm very proud of theseguys," Wiseman said. "They just did an outstanding job all season. This is one of the best teams I'vecoached." Whether or not Doerrer and Larson go to Kansas City is contingent on a decision by theAthletic Department.Wiseman indicated he feels that permission will be granted to send the Viking duo to the nationals. "Steve and Arnie could do very well," the Vik mentor said of their chances. "It's one bigtournament and they are very capable and could do a fine job. You just never know in these kind oftournaments." Wiseman will lose three netters by graduation, Doerrer, Corbin and Steve Adelstein.However, Wiseman said he has some fine young men coming up and next year's team could be a greatone. "We have a good chance at next year's title," Wiseman commented.

AL RAINES Last Tuesday, 24 dogs were brought into the WhatcomCounty Humane Society's animal shelter in Bellingham. Chances are only four are alive today. The resthave been "put to sleep" by .22 caliber bullets. Bellingham's Humane Society admits they are about thelast shelter of any size using .22s. They continue to use the bullets, claiming the high cost of othermethods makes it unavoidable. Phyllis Wright, animal control specialist for the Humane Society of theUnited States, in Washington, D.C., said she has not heard of any other Humane Society using bullets for euthanasia, the killing of animals in a painless manner. "If cost is their reasoning (for shooting theanimals)," Wright said in a telephone interview, "then they're in the wrong business." She was not theonly person with the Humane Society that stated misgivings over the treatment. Jeanette Cress, manager of the Skagit County Humane Society shelter in Burlington, said they have received complaints aboutthe Whatcom Shelter. She thought the .22s were not proper treatment. f The Skagit shelter uses artinjection with which the animal appears to go to sleep naturally and quietly. It has been considered bymost veterinarians to be the most humane process of euthanasia. The cost, though quite higher thanbullets, is considered worth the investment by the shelter in Burlington. ... . Richard Todhunter, managerof the Whatcom Shelter, does not like the .22 method. "It's especially hard to put small animals to sleep with a .22," Todhunter said. But recent tries at obtaining Sodium Phenobarbital for injections, whichwould result in a more humane treatment for the small animals, were rejected by the county veterinarianauthority. Reasoning centered around its being a controlled substance which would require handling by aspecialist. An American Veterinary Medical Association council report on euthanasia ends with thefollowing statement: "Methods such as drowning or shooting without producing prior unconsciousnesscan be painful, unreliable, productive of fear or apprehension on the part of the animals and dangerous topeople performing euthanasia. These methods are not recommended." One difference between theWhatcom shelter and others in the state is that it also serves as an animal control agency. They areanswerable to the mayor, county commissioners, sheriff, chief of police and others, as well as thesociety's board of directors. METHODS OF ANIMAL EUTHANASIA QUESTIONED - The WhatcomCounty Humane Society's animal shelter is one of the last in the nation, using .22s to put animals tosleep. The society said cost is the reason for continuing the practice.

Butthis provides an obvious incentive to the five residents of Project PerFECT, Bellingham's prison earlyrelease training program. Add to that the promise of parole at graduation and you have Project PerFECT's formula for success. "We came expecting 100 per cent success, and so far we are achieving it," PeterMusselwhite, head parole officer for the program said. Now in its third month of implementation, ProjectPerFECT was set up as an opportunity for convicted adult felons to re-adjust to the community^ Thefive residents of the program are still serving their time on their sentences while living at Highland andattending either Western, Bellingham Vo-Tech Institute or Whatcom Community College. Musselwhite said the present staff to resident ratio (five staff/five residents) has been instrumental to the earlysuccess of the program by "helping to stop problems before they become problems." In the future it ishoped that the five man staff will be able to handle up to forty residents. Although the "Per" in PerFECTstands for Prison Early Release, residents of the program are never free from rules and regulations abouthow they live. There are restrictions on where they may go, how long they can be gone, and what kind of activities they can be involved in. Some members of the program already have part time jobs. Anderssaid that employers throughout the community have been very receptive to the program. THE LONGERTHEY are in the program the more freedom and responsibility they receive, according to Marc Anders,project counselor. The residents are on an honors system, and the program operates under the premisethat each resident will make a commitment to achieving a partaicular goal they are trying to reach. Hesaid that although the staff offers assistance in finding a job, the residents proceed largely on their own.The money earned from the job is put into a trust fund which the resident can use to help finance hiseducation. Each resident in the program is required to pay for his schooling and room and board. Themoney for this comes from the resident's own finances or through student aid programs. ProjectPerFECT hopes to graduate five or six residents by the end of next year. Upon parole, perFECT's alumniwill hopefully be prepared for a gentle re-entry into the outside world. Opposition overwhelms the plus-minus grading proposal The plus-minus grading proposal is dead. It was killed by a unanimousdecision of the Academic Coordinating Commission (ACC) Tuesday. The final decision came after the Council on Arts and Sciences Curriculum (CASC) failed to provide convincing rationale in support of thegrade proposal. Disapproval was also based on lack of support by the Graduate Council and the Teacher Curricula and Certification Council (TCCC), as well as convincing student opposition. AS President-elect Stephen Barrett, a member of ACC, stated that the plus-minus grade would have hurt the student.The plus-minus grade would have allowed for variations of regular letter grade. Students receiving minusgrades would have had lower GPAs than students receiving solid letter grades. If a student had a C-average (1.7) he would have been eligible for academic probation.

Dick Gregory, black' comedian, activist and formerpresidential candidate, made this statement Monday to an enthusiastic crowd of 300 at EverrettCommunity College. He was speaking on what is wrong in America. He spoke about the Watergate"mess" and said it was fortunate there were no blacks in the administration. "If there had been one black in the Nixon administration he would have gotten all the blame for Watergate pinned on him. "Nixon was honest. He said he would take all the crime out of the street. But we should have asked where he wasgoing to put it." "Things are so bad that when Henry Ford II was busted for drunken driving in in California, he was driving a Pinto." Big corporations, the FBI and the CIA were all linked with crime in the streets,Gregory said. "There is so much crime in the streets that even the crooks are complaining. Get rid of theFBI. What about anti-trust violators? . . . Drugs, what about the Mafia and CIA that bring them in? . . . Ifthey put the right people in jail the crooks would turn themselves in." GREGORY SAID our response over the Maya-guez incident was foolish. He related it to a man fighting a cockroach or Muhammed Alifighting a three-year-old child. With all these problems, Gregory felt that only America's youth couldprovide the moral force to find the answers. "It's a big job. Never in history has anyone had such aburden dropped on them . . . " He feels that these problems can only be solved by working within thesystem. "Don't go get your gun. If they know they can get you to be aggressive, they know they cancontrol you. Once they know they can control you to violence, they can manipulate you." Gregory saidhe feels his struggle is not in vain because he has "truth, justice, law and order" on his side. ft * * *Moon totals tomorrow VALERIE SOSNOW The moon will be the prima donna this coming Saturdayevening in one of nature's most spectacular performances: a total eclipse of the moon. The moon willbegin to enter the dark central portion of the earth's shadow at 9 p.m. The shadow projected on themoon is normally a reddish-orange color, caused by sunlight being bent by our atmosphere, into theshadow. There is a possibility that the shadow on the moon will be a darker red then normal because ofextra dust in the atmosphere from last October's eruption of Fuego volcano in Guatemala. The moonwill be in total eclipse at 10:30 p.m., and star-gazers, away from city lights, will observe an extraordinary increase in the number of stars in the sky. During the middle of the eclipse, at 10:48 p.m., the lowerpart of the moon should appear to be very dark, since it passes through to the exact center of the earth's shadow. The total eclipse continues until 11:33 p.m. The moon then begins to leave the earth's shadow until its completion at 12:36 a.m., Sunday. The moon will rise in the southeast sky.

Most students hurried between classes seeking the shelter ofwarm buildings. Markangelo Chiarelli, however, stood on the fountain, with a bible in hand, andpreached about Jesus. "I don't preach by my own ability," Chiarelli said, "but through the ability of God."Chiarelli doesn't look much different than any other male Western student. He's medium height, slender,has brown eyes, and a short black beard with matching average length black hair. The only differencebetween him and others is the Bible in his hands and Jesus in his heart. Chiarelli said he is a senior andwill "probably graduate from Fairhaven with a minor in environmental studies and math. Actually, mymajor is knowing the Lord." In high school Chiarelli began seeking answers about religion. He spent hisfirst years of college still searching for a religion that he could believe in. Finally, about a month ago, 22-year-old Chiarelli, who was born and raised in Seattle, committed his life to Christ. "I can feel thechanges in my life," he said. "I have lost a lot of my wicked desires and I feel a communion with God."The closeness with God has caused a separation to develop between Chiarelli and some of his formerfriends. "My friends say, 'we still like to see you, but don't come over and preach to us.' That's like asking someone to come over and leave their feet outside. In that sense I have lost friends. But, I guess I amlosing fellowship with things that are not of God." He said the Lord directs him to preach on the fountain."Sometimes it's scary," he said. "But I can't minister in fear and must overcome my fear to come to theLord. You can only minister by love." Chiarelli doesn't think his preaching is in vain. "I used to listen topeople preaching and even though I didn't let it sink in, it helped. It is reaching someone." Chiarelli'sfuture plans are uncertain. "Right now I am continuing school because the Lord hasn't showed me whatelse to do. As to when I get out of school, I won't make plans. I will wait on the Lord." As I left Chiarelli on that drizzly day, I watched as he walked across the wet bricks, and wondered in what direction the Lordwill point him. letters Congratulations to jean-wearers Editor, Western Front: Whew! Okay, take a deep breath and wipe the sweat from your collective brow — it's all over. In case you haven't guessed bynow, there was no survey. Yes, that's right. The whole thing was nothing more than an exercise inhomophobia (neurotic fear of, or repulsion for, homosexuality). The problem: How can we make yourealize what it is really like to be gay on this supposedly "liberated" campus? The answer: Make bluejeans and homosexuality synonomous. That is to say, if you accept homosexuality, then whatdifference does it make if someone thinks you're gay? If you can't accept gayness, hopefully youexperienced what it was like to be a victim of your own prejudice many of us are victimized daily. Inclosing, our condolences to those whose ridiculous anxieties rekindled an adolescent skin problem andthose who dashed down to Penny's to buy a pair of never-to-be-worn-again double-knit slacks (also tothose of you who missed the Disco for fear of anal rape). Our congratulations to those who wore jeansanyway and to all of you for disproving (for the first time in my four years here) that students are totallyapathetic. I have never before heard so much bitching about something so totally hilarious. In gaylove... Dirk Hopkins Senior, English Gay survey totally bad idea Editor, Western Front: With regard toDorthann Cloud's article, "Friday proclaimed Gay Pride Day," I feel this basis of wearing or notwearing "blue denim and demin-like jeans, skirts and cut-offs" for a number of reasons: The originalbasis is poor. It assumes most Western students read the "Western Front." Also that they read it in itsentirety, which is doubtful of any paper. Blue jeans are a very common article of clothing and would notbe a valid sample criteria for a population sample. As a side note, I counted jeans versus non-blue jeans, skirts in one of my classes with the following results. Out of 21 people only three were not wearingjeans. This shows that better than 85 per cent of this class wears jeans. This might be a slight buthigher percentage than for the total student body, but I don't feel it would be an unfair comparison. GayPeoples Alliance actions in a real sense proposes a personal problem. Must I give up an article ofclothing I normally wear so as not to be mistaken as a "gay" (whether right or wrong) individual or do Idefy their effort (pressure) and contribute an additional error in their already poor statistical practices. Ialso would like to know where their "certain strategic locations" are located so I might avoid beingcounted so as not to upset their "accurate" data gathering process. In summary, I think this entire"gay" campaign is a big poorly based, biased farce to promote their personal feeling of "Hey look, thereare lots of us around, just look at the statistics." Bologna! Roger Rickert, Junior, Technology OPCOURSE: THIS (S HUNVNNE /. - TrIE LA^V PkfcCe I WO/SJCJED, WE USED gt; P/ANO WlKS-comment Hathaway nomination a 'sellout' The gap between the ideal and reality of American government is often monumentous. One is in President Ford's nomination of Stanley Hathaway, former governor ofWyoming, to be the next Secretary of Interior. Hathaway's conservation record is abominable. This isparticularly true of his views on the use of 1080, a viscious, chain-reaction poison used by wool growersto kill predators, namely coyotes. The use of 1080, because of its indiscriminate nature, has beenbanned on federal lands, which are heavily used for grazing by sheepherders. Hathaway is an unabashedopponent of this ban and would work for its repeal if confirmed for the position. The Society for AnimalProtection Legislation has called Hathaway's nomination "worse than that of any nominee ever proposedfor a Cabinet post." Certainly his attitude toward the maintenance of open range eco-systems makes thenomination laughable, but it's not funny. If confirmed, Hathaway's presence in the Cabinet would be onemore sellout of government ideal to vested interests. It can be stopped, in this instance, if people willwrite their Senators expressing their opposition. But it must be soon. Marshall Brown Western Frontstaff Why impose 'high-handed ideas' on students? Editor, Western Front: I'm writing in response tocertain statements made by Lee Thompson concerning Gay Pride Day. What interests me is whatmakes him think he has the right to impose his high-handed ideas on me? Just because he thinks itwould be cute to make all gays be identified with the wearing of blue jeans makes me want to throw up.While I don't wish to go into any discussion of the moral aspects of homosexuality I would like to knowthis: What makes you think I give a damn about your sex life, or better yet, why should I chooeo toaffiliate myself with your ilk by the way I dress? It makes me angry to think that you would choose asymbol such as dress which is totally irrelevant and arbitrary. To my way of thinking, you are doingmore to alienate people by flaunting what should be a totally personal matter than ever could come about in a hundred years. Just who do you think you are? By the way you and your people are acting, youwould think that by the virtue of your sexuality I owe you something which, Mr. Thompson, I don't. TimAdlington Students should get out earlier Editor, Western Front: We would like to encourage as manystudents as are interested to support us in asking the registrar (or whoever is responsible) to beconsiderate of the plights of the students who are trying to get summer jobs. The competition is gettingtough. At the present, quite a few private colleges get out considerably earlier than Western, whichgives these students an advantage in a shrinking job market. We feel very strongly that any changesthat can be made in the future school year calendar, to close school earlier in the spring should beconsidered and acted on if possible. Any supporters?

It will be held Saturday, June 21, at Bloedel-Donovan Park on LakeWhatcom. The faire, spelled with an "e" to add flavor and attract attention, is designed by women forwomen to be used as an outlet for their talent and as an opportunity to display and sell their art andcraft work. This year's faire will also have information booths staffed by a variety of women's resourceorganizations explaining their programs. Among the 30 registrants of last year's faire at Bellingham'sFairhaven Park, were crafts-women, artists, poets, musicians, singers and belly dancers. There werealso food booths, puppet shows and face painting. This year's faire is expected to provide much of thesame with hopefully an even greater variety of talent and entertainment.

Overall, the evening was insane.Totally! The Firesign Theater came to town Sunday night and brought with them their menagerie ofcharacters, symbolism and stories. Beginning with the beginning, and where better to begin, the fourmasters of outrageous humor, David Ossman, Philip Proctor, Phil Austin and Peter Bergman told thechronological illogical tale of their 400-year-old theater — the Firesign Theater. Not at all showing theirage, the four worked their way through the true story of "Hamlet's" prototype, the Firesign Theater's own"Anything You Want To." The group then went down memory lane hand in hand with a touch ofsurrealistic insanity as they brought life to their recordings, including bits from "Don't Crush That Dwarf,Hand Me the Pliers" and "Waiting for the Electrician Or Someone Like Him," much to the approval of theaudience. Intermixed and leading into these stagings were "selected questions submitted from theaudience." Included were such inspired questions as "What is reality?" Proctor submitted his responsewith, "There are actually two questions here. One, the question 'What?'" "This question is a questionthat has puzzled great thinkers through the ages. In fact, many brilliant men have died wondering,'What?'" "Of course," Proctor continued, "the question that follows is 'Is reality?' to which I can answer aresounding — maybe!" Next came "Nude Age Enterprises" production of Harry Cox' "Everything YouKnow Is Wrong." The film was a desperate attempt by Cox to prove, among other things, that dogs flewin spaceships, our forefathers smoked marijuana, and the South won the Civil War.

They are busy planning concerts, movies, lectures and the activities for Mama Sundays andthe Viking Union art gallery. Dan McMannis, program commissioner, is a graduate student in art. For the past year he has been the technical director on the program commission. As program commissioner,McMannis is the head man for all other sections on the commission. "This is not a one man empire byany means," McMannis said. There are four other people and a secretary working for the commission.Dave Auer will continue to run Mama Sundays. Sherry Phelen is planning the shows held by the VU artgallery. Social issues are run by Arnie Gauss3 who is in charge of bringing speakers and lecturers tocampus. The presentation of movies and the mechanics for all concerts are done by the technicaldirector, Rick Mickelsen. Catherine Ann Harker, secretary, handles the commission's paper work.Program commission positions are chosen by applications submitted to the AS Activities Board. Eachapplicant must be a full time or graduate student here. All positions are paid, McMannis said. "Itaverages out to about an hour a day in the office," he said. "But the over-all time spent working for thecommission is much more." THE BIGGEST PROBLEM for the commission, McMannis said, is gettingenough input. "For some positions this year, there were only one or two applicants," he said. Theprogram commission has been called insensitive in past years, McMannis said. A few people havegiven suggestions on what movies or-concerts they'd like to see on campus and expect immediateaction, he said. "They don't realize that for movies you must plan at least 60 days in advance and forconcerts it's much more," McMannis said. "The Sunday films for fall and winter quarters have alreadybeen scheduled." Sunday films for fall quarter include "Scarecrow," "Chinatown," "Ten From YourShow of Shows," "The Sting," "Electra Glide in Blue," "Badlands," "Serpico," "Papillion," and "Blume inLove." Sunday films for winter quarter are "Uptown, Saturday Night," "California Split," "Harry and Tonto," "Scenes from a Marriage," "The Parallax View," "Mean Streets," "The Three Musketeers"' and "TheApprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz." "There is still a long list of film suggestions for spring," McMannis said. "It's just a matter of cost and scheduling." The key to getting good concerts is finding groups that are on their way up, McMannis said. DANMcMANNIS Once they have made it, their rate practically triples."It's gotten to the point of prices — for who we can get to come," McMannis said. "Our purpose is tomake money and at the same time provide good entertainment." TONIGHT!

Low return thwarts student poll A recent poll to measure the attitudes of students andemployers on the aspects of collective bargaining failed due to lack of response. The poll,conducted by Alan Ogilvie, a graduate student in higher education, was to help in determining whyprevious attempts to unionize students at Western into collective bodies failed. According to Ogilvie,only four of the 119 students employes, and three of the 49 department supervisors returnedcompleted questionnaires. Ogilvie speculated it was either a lack of clarity in the questionnaire ormerely lack of interest on the part of the subjects.

The Viking varsity eight was rated eighth on the coast at the end of the regatta. Thefrosh four also took eighth and the lightweight four took a strong third behind UCB and UCLA in thechampionships. y The UW took three of the five races, including the varsity eight. They will meet Harvard in the Eastern Sprints this June. "I think we did quite well at the sprints," Viking coach Bob Diehl said."Our varsity beat UCB, who was rated to be the UW's main competitor. "We're getting more and morerecognition from the larger schools each year, and for only having rowed seven years and being a smallschool, we're doing very well. We're definitely the top small college team on the west coast. "We wonthe LaFromboise Cup again this year for the fourth year in a row, which is awarded to the-top smallcollege team in the northwest. The coach of the U.S. national team was taking a close look at some ofour rowers at Long Beach and was quite complimentary. "I think for next year we're going toconcentrate more on our recruiting program. We would like to get our first managers, and a lot of newoarsmen." DON GREGORY With half of the team never in a game situation before, the two-month-oldWestern Lacrosse Club showed their potential by defeating Lakeside High School 10-2 Saturday.Western co-captain and goalie Chuck Sawyer was pleased with the team's performance pointing out theexcellent passing. Western is one of only seven lacrosse teams in the Pacific Northwest. Sawyer, whostarted the club, first got interested in the sport seven years ago while attending high school in Denver,Colo. The sport has come a long way from its original form. Northeastern Indians first played thegame as a substitute for war and it was not unusual for contestants to be killed while playing. At theschool Sawyer attende-ed, lacrosse outgrew baseball in popularity. When Sawyer started playing thegame in seventh grade, both baseball and lacrosse were being played in the spring. When he graduated, only lacrosse was being played. Sawyer said in the East, lacrosse is as popular as football at thecollege level. One of the problems with the sport is getting people to play. After getting people to watchthe game, a lot of them want to learn the sport, Sawyer said. Most of the time spent in learning thegame is in throwing and catching a two-inch hard rubber ball. This throwing an catching is done with astic about four-feet long with plastic head on one end, laced with leather and gut. The sport is expensive because of equipment. Sticks, helmets, gloves and arm pads are needed by every player. The goaliewears an additional chest protector. To raise money needed for equipment this year the club worked atthe local election. They have requested funding from the college for next year. The.club now has 13members. For the six players who had not played before Saturday, the game proved to be an enjoyableexperience and quite a change from the game the Indians played instead of going to war.

Bob McLauchlan photoGoltz wins race for legislature by HOWARD SCOTT Campus planner Barney Goltz won his first election as a state legislator Tuesday and is preparing for his fourth trip to Olympia as a representative. The next session of the legislature will find Goltz, a Democrat, serving for the first time as one of therepresentatives from the 42nd District, but he has served during the 1963, 1965 and 1967 sessions as alobbyist for Western. Goltz won his seat by defeating Republican Cas Farr by nearly 5,000 votes. Withthe absentee ballots still uncounted, Goltz unofficially had 14,549 votes to Farr's 9,675. Farr said hewould watch the absentee count, but wasn't holding his breath. He had been a representative for threeterms since he was first elected in 1966. In the campaign, Goltz supported a graduated, state incometax and full state funding of schools. He also made an issue of credibility. "There must be absoluteintegrity of candidates and office holders," he said. His opponent was against any income tax and hadurged reduction of property taxes. Other points in Goltz' campaign included removal of state sales taxfrom food and drugs, elimination of operating school levies and stricter control of oil tankers in PugetSound. Goltz had outpolled Western student Jim McKay in the Sept. 19 primary to get his chance at the legislature seat. the ^western front western Washington state college IOC Vol. 65 No. 12 FRIDAYNovember 10,1972 Bellingham, Wash. 'Fish cheer' prompts concert cancellation Report recommendsEvaluations published by AS, seniors take qualifying exams Editor's Note: This is the third of a five-partseries dealing with curricular problems at Western. by KATHI SANDBOE Most students like to knowsomething about a class or the teacher before they sign up for it, and one of the best ways to get thisinformation would be to read what other students said in their evaluations. But teachers who ask forstudent evaluations are the only on6s who see them, and it's a good bet that if the evaluations say theclass or the instructor is poor, he won't pass them around for students and his colleagues" to see.Another good bet is that if a teacher continuously has bad evaluations, he won't be too anxious to keepasking for them. The committee on curricular problems at Western looked at the problem of teaching and course content in their investigation of declining academic standards. They reported that the problem ofpoor instruction and courses of questionable academic value exist and may / be widespread in certaindepartments. They also reported that "two departments in particular drew the fire of both faculty andstudents in the written comments received by the committee." In an approach to this problem, thecommittee suggested that student evaluations be redirected and restructured. While admitting thatstudent evaluations are the only real source of information about what goes on in the classroom, theysuggested that funds be granted to the Associated Students to publish a comprehensive course critiqueeach spring. They asked that this critique use another method of gather evaluations other than theclassrooms. The committee also suggested that the college ask every graduating senior to brieflyevaluate every course and instructor he had at Western and to make these available for the studentcritique. Paul Roley, chairman of the committee, himself suggested going further than this and having an evaluation by students of every class every quarter. These evaluations would not be (Cont.onpg. 8) Theplaying of Country Joe McDonald's "fish cheer"—"give me an F...!"—over the air led to ; the arrest of an east coast disc jockey and the subsequent postponement of McDonald's concert at Western. A NorthCarolina disc jockey played the "fish cheer" during a live interview with McDonald and was later arrestedon an obscenity charge. M c D o n a l d and the Seven-Piece All-Star Band were to appear at Westernlast night as part of the college campus tour. However, several of the colleges canceled out following thefish cheer incident. "Apparently those who are responsible for McDonald's cancellations were offendedby the song," Paul Davis, director of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), said. The "fishcheer" became famous during Woddstock, when Country Joe and the Fish (McDonald's old band) led500 thousand young people in the cheer. The Western concert was to be a benefit performance for theVVAW. However, because of financial problems resulting from the cancellations, McDonald haspostponed his appearance until Nov. 28 or 29. McDonald and the band will stop at Western for thebenefit performance while en-route to concert dates in Alaska. "People who have already bought theirtickets can keep them for the new concert or get their money refunded," Davis said. The group willperform on whichever day, Nov. 28 or 29, is best for the VVAW, according to Davis. A final decision onthe exact date of the concert is expected within a week.

Herbert Taylor Eventually 20 percent of college courses will be taught by computer. by DENNIS RITCHIE Students preferring" classeson a one-to-one basis between student and instructor may soon be able to have this, only it may bebetween student and computer. This is one of the possibilities of the proposed Can Ami project. Theproject was designed by Herbert Taylor, dean of faculty research. CanAmI stands for Canadian AmericanInstruction, which combines with computer assisted instruction. One of the original purposes of theprogram was to provide classes at a lower cost than traditional classroom techniques. But the projecthas grown into what could be a meaningful cooperation between the United States and Canada. Thepossibility that some classes could be taught by computer was one of the findings of Western'sComputer Policy Committee last year. The idea would be for students to be given a certain amount oftime at a teletype or a television screen connected to a computer. The student would punch in a studentidentification number and a number for the specific course desired. The student would then read the day's assignment on the teletype or screen. This would allow, the student to progress at his own pace. Hewould taice quizzes and an examination by computer to determine his level of competence. Taylor saidhe hopes that eventually 20 per cent of all college courses could be taught by computer and another 20per cent assisted by computer. The classes would be designed by a group of the best professors at theCanadian and American schools involved. In full operation, CanAmI could benefit the students of threeCanadian universities, Western and 10 community colleges. All schools are within 65 air miles ofWestern, the proposed center of the project. All of the schools also have compatible IBM equipment.There are several ways which courses could be exchanged. Two peaks, one in the San Juan Islands andone in the Gulf Islands, have a line of sieht to all locations - so that microwave towers could transmit toall schools. Another way would be the use of helicopters to transport courses or computer techniciansand professors. Either of these would enable students to take courses offered at one of the otherschools. Taylor said that in this way, the strengths of the schools could be pooled together to result in abetter education and a better relationship with schools that are close geographically but have no realcontact with each other. The estimated cost of the project is between 6.5 and 7.5 million dollars over thefirst five years. One-fourth of this would be allotted for faculty time spent designing courses, one-fifth foroperational expenses and the remainder for equipment. "CanAmI would probably pay for itself in sixyears, or at least by 10 years, easily," Taylor said. Also the project is such that it probably wouldn't beobsolete for 15 years at the earliest." The project's funding could come from several areas. A billappropriating the money may be introduced to Congress next year. Taylor has enlisted the support ofCongressman Lloyd Meeds and Senator Warren Magnuson to handle such a bill in Congress. The restof the money could be provided through the International Education Act of 1965. This act provides fundsfor educational programs such as this. Approval would also have to be obtained from Canadianleadership in Ottawa and provincial approval from Victoria, B.C. The present status of CanAmI is notdefinite. The Canadian universities contacted have expressed interest in the project, and half of thecommunity colleges have responded favorably. Meeds has said that he might introduce the bill inFebruary at the earliest. Funding could then be approved in late spring and planning could begin inSeptember. A later introduction would have the talks beginning in September of 1974. Big BrotherComputer is starting to bug you by KEITH MYETTE 1984 is closer than you think. P r i v a c y from the computerization of information has decreased dramatically since World War II, according to Seattlelawyer Edmund Raftis. Raftis spoke to a research methodology class in sociology about the abuses ofmass data gathering by computers. In the past it was easy to protect an individual's privacy, he said.Data gathering was decentralized and superficial. The advent of the use of computers enlarged theaudience receiving personal data, while the individual has not been aware of what's happened to hisprivacy, he said. Raftis said there are "tremendous uses" which a computer could be used for, but theuse of names is unnecessary. Organizations that collect and disseminate information include theCensus Bureau, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Post Office, he said. The Census Bureau, whenconducting their questioning, makes no distinction between important questions which have to beanswered, and those that an individual does not have to answer, he said. The Internal Revenue Servicehas an agreement with all state governments to hand over information concerning gross income andother data on IRS forms, he added. The Post Office has computers which can pick off the name ofwriters in all correspondence, he added.

Wesfern to set hiring policy forminorities and women by SONJA BROWN Western must remedy discrimination in employment againstminority groups and women or face the withdrawal of up to $3.5 million in federal funds. The All-CollegeSenate will hold a hearing Monday on a proposed "affirmative action" program, designed to comply with a federal directive to develop equal employment opportunity at all institutions receiving federal grants. Asstated in the preliminary draft, which will be discussed at the senate meeting, the objectives of theprogram are to eliminate discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, age or sex andto develop equal employment opportunity. The program seeks to develop a work force at all levelsthroughout the college which reflects the availability of minorities and women in the labor market. Asstated in the report, the minorities the affirmative action program are concerned with are "Blacks, Asians, American Indians and Spanish sur-named Americans." Some of the proposed ways to implement theprogram are: -prohibition of appointments until the positions have been advertised openly and minoritygroup and women candidates have been sought out. —target dates for achieving specific employmentgoals. —review of complaints of discrimination by a committee represented by minority groups andwomen. In areas where women and minorities tend to hold lower-level jobs, promotion of those peoplealready employed by the college will be encouraged. Through the offices of the Bureau of FacultyResearch, Financial Aids and Campus Planning, Western receives approximately $3.5 million-annually in federal grants. Gov. Dan Evans has also issued a directive to all state agencies to establish affirmativeaction plans. William Bultmann, acting provost, will be the equal employment opportunity complianceofficer for Western. Since the spring of this year an affirmative action committee under the chairmanshipof Fillip Leanderson, personnel officer at Western, has been working on the preliminary draft to bediscussed at the senate meeting. Copies of the proposal are available at the Personnel Office, Old Main104. Open hearing for jobs An "affirmative action" proposal for equal opportunity employment at Westernwill be discussed at an open hearing of the All-College • Senate Monday at 5 p.m. in Viking Union361. Copies of the proposal are available in the Personnel Office, Old Main 104. Anyone wishing tospeak on the proposal should contact George Gerhold, ext. 3156, before the meeting. Walk-a-thon forretarded children A walk for the retarded will be held tomorrow and Sunday to raise money for the state's mentally retarded children. The walk is sponsored by the local chapter of the Washington Associationfor Retarded C h i l d r e n , a non-profit organization devoted to improving Jhe\general, welfare pf thestate's mentally retarded. Three different routes are planned this weekend in Whatcom County-all about20 miles in length. A walk for the retarded will be held in the county tomorrow. It will start at 8 a.m.,both from Lynden and from Nooksack Valley high schools. A city walk route will start at 8 a.m. Sundayin front of the Bellingham High School.

However, the original proposal which would have tacked oaan additional $1.75 to eachstudent's tuition and fees to subsidize student bus fares, was turned down because of the a t t o r n e ygeneral's office's statement questioning its legality. Asst. Atty. Gen. William Gingery asked that theboard consider whether the proposal was essential to furthering the aims of the college because itinvoluntarily taxed all students. "The significance of this letter is that the collection will have to bevoluntary," board chairman Jim Kennedy said. Board member Don Walley suggested that the board work out all possibilities with city transit manager Ed Griemsmann before taking any action on any otherproposal. The board agreed to look for Housing now in one office Off-campus housing listings will behandled through the on-campus housing office located in High Street Hall, beginning Monday. Allstudent housing will then be listed in one office. The old wall listings of apartments and houses for rentand notices will be gone from the old AS housing office, Viking Union 214A. C.T.

Co-ed assault bringsarrests Two Whatcom County men have been charged in connection with the assault of a Western co-ed, who was picked up while hitchhiking on Indian Street near Chestnut Street Tuesday morning. The19-year-old girl accepted a ride from two men and they forced her to ride with them south of Bellinghamnear the county line, according to police reports. After stopping the car in a wooded area, they forcedher at knife point to do an "indecent act." After investigation, two men were picked up by Bellinghampolice and Whatcom County Sheriff's Deputies. A 26-year-old Bellingham man pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and sodomy during a Wednesday afternoon hearing. The Superior Court judge ordered a pre-sentence report made on the man. He was held on $3,000 bail. Charged with aiding and abettingassault and committing sodomy was a 18-year-old county man. No plea was entered and the judge toldhim to obtain an attorney. Bail was set at $2,000. * • • • • • • • • • • • • * * * * * * } J EXCLUSIVE! * jROCK"ROLLj * * * * * * * * REUNION SIX-HOUR, NON-STOPCONCERT * * * ) f %KISM'S ROCK 'N ROLL REUNION stars: Bill Haley t h e | 3 1 Comets, DelShannon, Joe Turner, Chuck Rio thep ^ I Champs, Chirley Lee, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Knox,| yL IJimmy Clanton, Connie Francis, Chiffons, the Olympics, | 3 I Freddy Cannon, Fabian, Smokey Robinson the Miracles, | ^ f j t h e Everly Brothers, Little Richard, Duane Eddy, the F o u r | ^ yL 1 Seasons,Shirelles, Cadillacs, Elegants, Jan Dean, Shields, | J ^ 1 Danny the Juniors, and of course the KING-ELVIS . . . | ! ^ ^ iall on STAGE.

Is your vocabulary too small? Maybe you're having trouble remembering what you read. If yourproblem is reading, Western's Reading Center will be glad to help you. The Reading/Skills Center inMiller Hall 251 exists to serve students. Its purpose is teaching students to achieve their goals in readingin the least amount of time. June Newton, director of the center, said that students come in "becausethey feel dissatisfied or inefficient, or they may feel other students are getting more out of the assignedreading than they are." One student who came in had an overload and seven books to read in twoweeks. He wanted to know how to get through it. Another was in pre-law and had to read a thick bookand remember what he had read. A number of students have trouble with the general education blockwhere they may have to read 1,100 pages and then respond on what they read. This may be three timesas much reading as they did in high school. Other students say their reading has slowed down becausethey are thinking more as they read, they're bogged down and their assignments are piling up. Newtonfirst tries to find out the particular problem, and then plans a program for the individual. Other problemsmay come to light after the classes begin, or a particular kind of reading may be stressed one quarter ifthe student feels he needs it. "People usually don't know what they need; they are confused about theirproblem," Newton said. The program covers a wide range of vocabulary development and readingcomprehension. Techniques to improve reading and study skills are offered—how to organize your timeand how to prepare for and take exams. The center tries to get the students to set a purpose for theirreading whether they have to recite it after they are through, solve a problem, draw conclusions or relate it to what they already know. "In the main, we try to get students to read faster and with morecomprehension," Newton said. If a student wants to build his vocabulary, there are program books which include things such as prefixes and suffixes that the student can use if he wants to. When a studentbrings in the material he is having difficulty with, the center will work out techniques to help him learn that material. The classes are voluntary and cost $3. "Freshmen in particular should look into the program,"Newton said. "It's very helpful to them."

Student sex: quiet or dead? Students are either not as loose as they used to be, or they are keeping their problems to themselves, the AS Sex InformationOffice believes. The Sex Information Office, Viking Union 216, encourages counseling preceding orfollowing any sex oriented questions or problems a student might have. Although once understaffed, the office now has the student volunteers necessary to cope with any sexual problem that may arise. Theirproblem now, however, is that the students are not cooperating. According to Donna Smith, acounselor, the main objective of the office is to give advice, not judgments. Shei also said that alldiscussions can be held in the strictest confidence and that referrals will be given if any professional help is needed. Some of the subjects that are discussed with Sex Information officers are venereal disease,abortion, natural childbirth, birth control, breast feeding, t u b u l a r s t e r i l i z a t i o n s, vasectomiesand homosexuality. Gay's split-up their meetings Every Wednesday gay men and women meetseparately to discuss their problems.

A special committee of the Academic Council is trying to find out what kind of problems the general educationclasses are having at Western. So far the only feedback the committee is getting is from the faculty.Students are needed to add their two cents, but at the last public hearing only three faculty membersshowed up. If the committee hopes to make any well-rounded report and suggestions on improvingclasses, it must have input from students. The meetings are open and held at 3 p.m. Wednesday inMiller Hall Room 158. Take your opinions out of the coffee shop and put them to work. Just a matter ofpolicy, Dr. There have been some questions raised by faculty members why the Western Front no longeruses "Dr." in front of their names if they have a Ph.D. It's not that reporters have anything against titles;it's just that the editor feels the titles are not necessary for identification. The same editorial policyapplies to the use of "Miss" and "Mrs.", which has been dropped entirely, along with "Ms." Althoughsome newspapers are starting to use "Ms.", we feel it won't be long before this title goes the way of "Dr." (with the exception of medical doctors). For those faculty who feel the Front is playing down their titlesfrom lack of respect, check to see how many newspapers write "Dr. Henry Kissinger." Academicstandards raises questions Editor, Western Front: Kathi Sandboe's report (November 3) of the work ofthe Academic Council Committees on Curricular Problems and Academic Standards raises questions for me that apparently did not occur to those committees. If they did, I assume she would have reported the conclusions, for they would be of central importance in determining what it is going to mean to be astudent and teacher at Western in the future. Question: Are academic standards declining or arestandards we set for meaningful human interaction in education on the rise? It may just be the case thata significant number of teachers have finally faced the fact that grading is often a deterrent to real learning and have taken steps to neutralize it. Then too, there are some classes where learning is based upon agroup process that makes it a cooperative rather than a competitive activity. Where this is the case, it isoften possible for "unusual" numbers of students to do "excellent" work. Question: Why do "recentstudies" indicate "that the pass/fail system tends to encourage a lower level of performance"? Perhaps it has something to do with the increased ability of students in pass/fail courses to be discerning aboutwhat matters and what doesn't. Eliminating grades as a motivational factor means some teachers will behard put to justify what they ask of students. Question: What is a "marginal" student? Is he or shesomeone who presents teachers with real challenges? I have the distinct impression that some of uswould like to limit Western's student body to those students who need us the least. Of course,competent learners are a joy to all teachers, but we are mistaken and/or misguided if we think statecolleges are meant to be academically fatal and psychologically brutal to those whom some frustratedmerchant of academic credit labels "marginal". Question: Can "academic standards" be standardized?Put another way, is it prudent and productive to try to force all teachers to grade the same way? I submit that it is impossible to do and destructive to try. If is was possible, to do so would amount to the mostbasic kind of infringement of academic freedom. Question: Is all the evidence on declining academicstandards in? Has someone identified the best four consecutive years Western ever had, sought outmembers of that graduating class, tested them thoroughly and run comparative tests on a more recentgroup afflected with pass/fail, marginal students and teachers who apparently don't know the value of "A"and "B"? Not to my knowledge. These are among the questions that occurred to me as I read Ms.Sandboe's report. I have taken the liberty of sharing my own responses to these questions in the hopethat others will come forward with theirs before someone decides to the detriment of our entirecommunity what THE answer is. This is simply not an area in which there is to be found any singleRIGHT answer. The current search for an answer to the problem is revealing of nothing so much as it is of a basic distrust of each other that haunts these halls of learning just as it does so many otherinstitutions. Now there is a problem we would do well to work on.

Why has the Academic Council decided to stop publishing summary-transcripts of itsmeetings, and only print the motions and results, keeping an audio tape for a year as the "record"? Didyou ever try to "scan" a tape? Seems to me it will be impossible to get a clear picture of theirproceedings without attending every meeting. - R.S. This change is basically an economy measure. Itwas requested by the provost, and approved by the Academic Council. Robert Monahan, chairman of theAcademic Council, cited the main reasons for the change: to conserve paper (many reams) and-time ofthe secretarial staff (many hours) and because very few people actually read the complete transcript. Tofully accommodate those interested in the verbatim discussion, Monahan said, the recorded tape isretained, and anyone may see it for one year afterward in the office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences inOld Main.

Incorrectly addressed mail to Birnam Wood residents goes to the central laundry room mail-slots. Your only correct address is: Racquel Zero Room 442 2901 College Parkway Bellingham 98225The post office delivers anything addressed in that style to your door. Mail designated for "442 BirnamWood" or anything else is automatically separated from the one proper style (sic), and handed over to the college mail room. These people figure out the correct address—a simple job in the case of mailaddressed "Birnam Wood"—and deliver it. They haven't had the authority in the past, however, to openthe federal mail boxes, so this mail was delivered to other, centralized boxes. Apparently the college is in the process of gaining this right; you may soon get all your mail delivered to your individual building.letters Editorial lacks evidence Editor, the Western Front; Your editorial "Flora and the Golden Shaft" isthe latest in a series dating back to last spring in which Front editors have criticized various groups inthe college for alleged bias and acts of injustice in the Flora matter. At no time has the Front producedthe slightest shred of evidence to support these criticisms, and your November 3rd editorial is noexception". If you have any such evidence, then I suggest that you make it known. If you have no suchevidence, then your editorial is, at best, just plain dumb, and at worst, grossly irresponsible. PhillipMontague A s s o c i a t e Professor- Philosophy Western's cult of secrecy Editor, the Front; The cultof secrecy which has sprung up on the campus this year is inexcusable. Secrecy is the haven of thecoward, the incompetent, the thief and the liar and has no place in a so-called institution of highereducation within a democracy. Secrecy may be convenient for the gutless but it is a disaster for thesociety as a whole.

Western battles Eastern Eastern will beout for revenge tomorrow when the Savages host Western in an Evergreen Conference football game.Last year, the Vikings belted Eastern 50-7 in Western's Homecoming game. This year it's Eastern'sHomecoming and the Savages would like nothing better than to turn the trick on the Vikings. TheSavages' record is' not exactly glittering this season, as they have lost one more game than the Vikings. Eastern's record is 2-6 while Western's stands at 2-5. The Big Blue has been spared of injuries thisseason, but Eastern has not. The Savages lost sophomore halfback John O'Connor for the last fivegames with a leg injury and also lost senior quarterback Pete Glindeman for two games with a brokenhand. In Eastern's first three games, O'Connor rushed for 261 yards. Glindeman has passed for 908yards and eight touchdowns. AARDVARK X.fTWTBIT.

Sat. 10:30-2 a.m The startingquarterback for the Savages may not be Glindeman though. Freshman Dave Curtis has been reported to be looking good lately and may get the starting nod tomorrow. Curtis has thrown for 392 yards in threegames. Catching the football for Eastern will be all-conference split end Bob Picard, who ranks secondamong Evco receivers with 37 receptions for 517 yards. Along with Picard will be tight end ScottGarske, who has 29 catches for 411 yards. Garske also leads the conference in punting, averaging 38.4yards a kick. Eastern's defense against running plays ranks second in the conference behind Westernand is led by the linebacking trio of Al Bushnel, John Daniels and John Van Deelen. Jack Dolan's returnmay give Western's offensive and defensive lines an added boost. Dolan missed the last two gameswith a sprained ankle. Head football coach Boyde Long has expressed some concern about the blocking of his offensive line in last week's game against Oregon College. Western backs gained only 56 netyards. For quarterback, it is a toss up between Marshall Torre who started against Oregon College, andTom Leuhman who came off the bench in the Oregon game to run the shotgun formation. The shotgunappears to be a doubtful weapon against Eastern. Game time tomorrow is at 1 p.m. Front ForecastWestern to win, not so for UW While the presidential race was boring in terms of closeness, the FrontForecast battle for the top prognosticator remains tighter than odds on graduation. Howard Scott ralliedlast week to tie season-long leader Kent Sherwood, both with 41 of 54 games correct. That will changeafter tomorrow's games, however. Scott, Sherwood and sports editor O. K. Johnson, who is a close thirdwith 40 games right, all pick seven of the eight games unanimously. On the one differing contest, though, Sherwood went out on the proverbial limb for the second week in a row, by being the lone seer to choose Washington's Huskies to defeat U. C. L. A.'s Bruins. Sherwood noted Washington's homefield,Homecoming advantage, in addition to the return of Sonny Sixkiller and the fact that the Huskies "are just simply due for a big win." The former sports editor may have some insight going for his unlikely pick. Hewas the lone forecaster to correctly choose Whitworth over previously unbeaten Central last week. Forthe first time in four weeks, Western gets the three-way nod tomorrow, over Eastern Washington. Thegame should be close, though, as the Savages celebrate Homecoming remembering last year's 50-7Viking win in Bellingham. Also, for the first time this year, the Southern California Trojans have not beenpicked to win. The nation's number one ranked team will be idle tomorrow, before next week's big gamewith U. C. L. A. As the Front sees them, these should be the results in tomorrow's Evergreen Conference and Pacific-8 Conference games. GAME Western at E. Wash E.

NATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE MEMBERF.D.I.C. • ACCOUNTS INSURED TO $20,000 EACH DEPOSITOR. NBC Vikings, coached byBowman, will face Northwest Conference champion Whitworth, as well as Central, Eastern, PacificLutheran, Simon Fraser and Whitman. Bowman said that Whitworth and Central will be the teams forhis harriers to beat. At the Evco meet, Central finished second behind the Vikings. Eastern placed fifth.Last year, Whitworth placed 1 l th at the national meet. While they have lost a few runners, they areexpected to be a tough team to beat. Bowman said he feels his team is good enough to be one of thetop 10 teams in the NAIA. The consistency his team has shown this season, coupled with the widemargin of victory at the conference meet is expected to bear him out. B e f o r e winning the conferencemeet, Western reeled off three straight dual-meet victories plus winning their own Western Invitational.The Vikings lost only one meet, their first run at the Calgary Invitational. Paul Scovel, finishing third atthe Evco meet, and Mike Shaw have been the harriers two most consistent men. They are followed byTom Duncan, Will Rathvon, Fred New and Russ Fuller. Bowman has said that Western does not haveany outstanding runners, but that all his men "run tough". The Vikings proved they could "run tough" byplacing six finishers among the top 10 runners at the conference meet. ---------- Western Front - 1972 November 10 - Page 7 ---------- the ^.western front sports ^ OK's Korner Remember the Alamo! by 0. K. Johnson, sports editor Lastyear about this time, Western's football team hosted Eastern in what was billed as a crucial game for theEvergreen Conference championship. The Savages were slaughtered, to say the least, 50-7, and Western all but clinched the title. This year the situation is a little bit different. The Vikings have had a rough timethis season, winning only two games in seven outings. Eastern has had an even rougher time though,winning only two games in eight outings. It's almost a replay of last year's build up except that the Evcotitle is definitely not at stake this time around. After taking a pounding like the Savages took last year,more will be involved than just trying to beat Western. One can safely say the Savages will be out forblood and anything else they can get. Tomorrow's game takes on proportions similar to the WashingtonHuskies and the U.C.L.A. Bruins two years ago. If you recall, three years ago, Washington had one of the worst records they've ever had and U.C.L.A. stomped them badly in Los Angeles. The next year,Washington hosted the Bruins and walloped them in Seattle. Neither team has forgotten those games and the sting of those losses will be around for a long time. While neither Western nor Eastern has really put things together yet this year, the Savages will have a whole lot going for them tomorrow. First andforemost is the beating they took last year. Second, the game is played in Cheney. Finally, members ofthe Eastern football team want to win this game more than any other game they have played this season. From what Paul Madison, Western's sports information director said Wednesday, it appears that there is no love lost between these two teams. Before the Eastern Oregon game, which Eastern lost, one of theEastern players was quoted as saying, "There isn't that much left to do the rest of the season other thanto beat the (use the word of your choice) out of Western." I would imagine that view is shared by themajority of the Savage ball club. It appears the Big Blue is going to have to play their butts off becauseEastern seems ready for a do-or-die effort against the team that humiliated them one year ago. Nobodylikes to lose, let along lose by a lot. Eastern is no exception. Offensively, with the starting backfieldhealthy, Eastern poses a problem to the Big Blue, a problem they have had trouble solving so far thisseason. Eastern can move the ball both on the ground and through the air. It is against a team of this type that has frustrated Western. While boasting possibly the best running attack in the conference, theViking passing game has left a lot to be desired. Western quarterbacks have drawn opposing defensiveplayers to their passes 14 times this season. Without the passing game to complement the fine runningattack the Big Blue has, the Vikings have been stopped in the second half of almost all their games bythe defense keying on the runners. Opposing defenses know Western can't pass very well, and in the last two games, Tom Wigg and Steve Skogmo have been defensed effectively. Western has a passingquarterback who has completed roughly 40 per cent of his passes, but the coaching staff uses aquarterback who's passing percentage falls below 30 per cent and leads the conference in interceptions.Presumably the coaching staff feels this one individual is a better play caller. That may or may not be so.But when your team falls behind and time is running out, you are forced to pass. Would you rather have a man \vho averages about 40 per cent completions, or one who averages less than 30 per cent and leadsthe conference in interceptions? Western has the potential. The players are there. The majority of thestarters this year were on last year's team. They know what it is like to win. They also know what it is like to lose. The object of winning a game is to use your best talent at the right positions, execute properlyand get a few lucky breaks and to capitalize on those breaks. For most of the time, the Vikings havelooked good and executed well. It is just at those times when they don't execute well, like passing inside your own 10-yard line and having it intercepted and runback for a touchdown, or fumbling inside the 10-yard line, that has hurt Western so much this year. It has been the defense, not the offense this, yearthat has come up with the big play to set up Western's victories. Tomorrow, Western is going to have toput it all together against Eastern. If they don't, the Vikings might be in for a long afternoon becauseEastern is going to remember that 50-7 game like the Texans remembered the Alamo.

Bob McLauchlan photo Western airs news show by SCOTT ANDERSON A small group of Westernstudents and faculty are producing a 10-minute television news program which is being aired once aweek over a local channel. Steve Neff, student news director of the program called Western View, said he hoped to see the creation of communications department at Western which would be equivalent to— if not better — than the communications school at the University of Washington. "However, theAcademic Council must first be convinced that there is a demand for such a program," Neff said. Allwork for the program is done on a strictly voluntary basis, Neff said. "While we are basically a student-oriented and student-run program, we have good professional backing. "Our goal is to achieve highquality professional production, as on Seattle stations, through the guidance of people who have hadprofessional experience," Neff said. Currently,-Western View is a ten-minute news program presentedonce a week on Telecable's channel 10. Neff would like to see the program expanded to a twice-a-weekproduction in the near future, and to a five day a week production by spring quarter. Western View began summer quarter and had three productions during the quarter. The basic purpose of Western View is topresent campus news in a way that would interest the community, Neff said. The program's formatincludes a brief overview of two or three items of general interest, followed by an in-depth featurepresentation. The program also mentions coming events open or of interest to the public. The mostrecent addition to the program has been commentaries contributed by students in the speechdepartment. Neff, who became involved in the program when Al Smith of the education media department was looking for volunteers, would like to move away from his current position as anchor man intoproduction of a forum program. Such a show would give visitors to Western and student organizations achance to explain their programs and voice their opinions to residents of the Bellingham community.Neff, a journalism major, said that students who are interested in television news must currently workwith several departments to get necessary courses for a major. The technology department offersclasses in television production, the speech department offers classes in broadcasting, the journalismprogram offers newswriting "classes and education media handles the technical classes. Many television newscasters now come from the print media, since there are few good visual communications schools,Neff said. "Television is the wave of the future. We need people trained specifically for television news."Evaluations and exams (Cont.frompg. 1) done in class and would be done one quarter after taking theclass to give the student a better perspective. One of the ad hoc committees formed by the AcademicCouncil was asked to look at academic standards. They were asked to "examine evaluation proceduresrelating to the quality of classroom instruction and of course content to determine if they are adequate for helping to insure a quality academic program . . . ." Chris Taylor, chairman of this committee, saiddepartment chairmen were asked to give written reports on how they police the quality of the classes intheir departments and to look at the policies of tenure, promotion and how to help ineffective teachersbecome better. He also said they were looking at faculty evaluations by other faculty and the overallstatistics on student evaluations. Taylor said his committee is taking a close look at student evaluations. "There is far too much emphasis on student evaluations and not enough at looking for other ways,"Taylor said. He thought the committee would probably recommend ways other than these evaluations tolook at the quality of instruction. Roley's committee on curricular problems also looked at the quality ofWestern's graduates in connection with the decline in academic standards. They reported that althoughno evidence has been submitted to support it, they strongly suspect the quality of graduating seniors has declined. They stated they felt that "too many of our graduates don't read well or enough, are unable toexpress themselves on an acceptable level either in writing or orally, are largely innocent of theprocesses of logic, have little taste in any of the arts and are generally devoid of any commitment to thecontinued exercise of the intellect beyond the limited boundaries of thought required for the performanceof their jobs. As an approach to this problem, they recommended that qualifying exams be required of all graduating seniors. The committee said that sometime in each student's senior year he should berequired to take written exams designed to test his skill in "expressing himself in writing, his ability tothink critically and his level of aesthetic appreciation." They said the student should be allowed as manychances to pass as he needs with the provision that he cannot graduate until he satisfactorily passes it.The committee also recommended that individual departments consider giving qualifying exams in themajor field. In establishing a plan for these tests, the committee recommended two tests be given, onein aesthetic appreciation and the other in critical analysis. The test of aesthetic appreciation would be acritical review of a novel, movie, work of art or any combination of these. The test of critical analysiswould be to write an analysis of a journal or magazine article in an area of common knowledge. Thecommittee said these tests should be scheduled three times a year and a student would sign up to takethem. They also said there should be a designation on the student's diploma of the number of times hehad to take the test before he passed. For instance, those who passed the exams on their first attemptwould be given top honors and those who passed on their second try would be given second honors andso on. They also felt students should have to pay for the materials needed for the exams and should also pay maybe a dollar fee for the grading of the tests. Roley admits it would be unlikely that these examswould gain the support of the students or faculty. "I'm a minority of one on this campus," he said. But he said he felt it was the only thing to do. "It would show what kind of students we're putting out." NextFriday: The general education at Western is unsatisfactory, according to the committee. Problems andsolutions will be examined. ( Take big breaths for broadcasting bySUEGAWRYS "Take a nice deepbreath and relax. Let's try it again." These are familiar words to Alden Smith's speech 241 class,broadcast communication. Each week, half the class prepares a six-minute radio program covering news, information, sports and commentary, which is aired over local stations. The other half of the 16-memberclass prepares weekly 10-minute specials, to be aired for the next four weeks beginning Nov. 11. Thefirst of a three-part sequence in broadcast communication trains students in the workings of radio.Besides learning how to operate the recording equipment (since Western doesn't have a transmitter,shows must be taped and delivered to the station), students seek out news, write their scripts and deliver them over the air. Smith, who used to work in commercial radio, said that preferences among thespecific duties develop, so "not everyone does everything." Half the class works on the news show fortwo weeks, then switches to the special for two weeks. "In the beginning, there was a big problem inengineering," Mike Breda, a student in the class, said. "No one was acquainted with this type ofequipment." The broadcast studio, on the third floor of Old Main, is housed in three narrow, white-walledrooms. The control room, with all the knobs, buttons, turntables and tapes, is where the sounds areblended for the show. Two students usually man this during the show, being responsible for the quality ofthe sound produced. The big window looks into the studio, where the four-man news team speaks intothe large microphones. Another window connects into an observation room, where class members canwatch the show take shape. Despite the complexity of the equipment, Breda said it is fairly easy tolearn. "The reason it takes so long (about one and a half hours for an average six-minute show) is thatnot everyone is familiar with the board," he said. "And there's pressure, too, so people tend to makemistakes." For the students who act as reporters, there is A Preparing to tape another news show are(counter-clockwise) Neil Clement, Pat Duggan, Bob Haguewood and Diane Carlson. Thorn Schultz photothe special problem of gathering news. Since the- show is geared toward tying together the campus andthe community and is broadcast over a country-western station, a pop station and an oldies-but-goodiesstation, it must appeal to a wide audience, Neil Clement, another class member, said. The newsreporters cover regular "beats" or news sources, such as the Viking Union, President Flora and sports."Not much is happening on campus," Breda commented. "We're running out of news." Once the news isobtained, it must be pared down to a specific time limit, so it can fit into the program. "It's really hard tostay within that time limit," Clement said. The news format contains a stock opening, news andinformation briefs, in-depth news, sports, bulletin board (events on campus) and commentary, with astandard closing. This week's show, for example, covered two "actualities," which are taped interviewswith sources outside the show. One was with the crew coach, and another was with Flora about theprisoner-release program suggested for Western. The "actualities" man is responsible for taping theseinterviews. Two other behind-the-scenes crew members are the program director, overall supervisor of theprogram, and the traffic director, who types scripts. The news program airs Tuesdays at 7:05 p.m. onKGMI and 11:30 p.m. on KPUG. On Wednesdays, it is broadcast at 8 a.m. on KISM, 12:30 p.m. onKBFW and 6 p.m. on KERI. J

Residents of Fairhaven's co-op dorms pay about $40 less rent monthly than theprojected costs, based on full dorms of single-room occupancy. Using these tentative figures, each co-op resident is subsidized by about $318.86 per year. The amount of the subsidy is not clear, becausethere are several ways to calculate it. All dorm rooms — singles, doubles and apartment rooms -— arerented in co-ops as singles. This was part of the agreement by which the Advisory Committee onHousing and Dining agreed to subsidize the first co-op, two years ago. The co-ops are considered to bein the experimental stage and are subsidized "because it was a new idea . . . a new kind of housing that we've never offered," Coy said. The subsidy will continue next year unless students protest it, or it isrejected by the Board of Trustees, who will consider it May 6. The advisory committee and the Businessand Finance Council voted last week to recommend to the trustees the same eight per cent rateincrease for co-ops as for other campus housing. The committee also decided to ask for an evaluation ofthe co-ops, though they have not yet decided who should conduct the evaluation or what the criteriashould be, Coy said. "I'm questioning how successful (the co-ops) are now," he said. The four dormshave a joint capacity of about 70 people but have close to 50 now and are "having to do quite a bit ofrecruiting," he said. If co-op rates take the same hike as other housing, their rent will rise by $55.44 perperson per year, while rent for a single occupant of a single room will rise by $69.44 and for a doubleroom, $67.44. Housing and Dining is partially funded with the services and activities fee, included intuition. Asked whether the other residents on campus were told about the subsidy they were paying, Coy replied, "I don't know that the students were, per se." While all co-op residents live in singles, non-co-op students would be forced to have roommates, should Fairhaven housing fill. Although Fairhaven is now only filled to 58 per cent capacity, Coy said there is a good chance " housing will come close to fillingnext year. Contracts were signed only last week for co-op 5. Coy's office did not express concern to theco-op residents until then. "I think we're coming to a solution of the problem," Coy said in an interviewbefore the o signed contracts reached his office last week. o Tim Thies, a co-op resident, said thecontracts ft* are not a^ problem, because they have been signed. He explained that "anytime the resident director had asked us to sign contracts, we would have done so." "We were never, by written or oralform, informed it was our responsibility {to secure contracts)," he said, and "people in the co-op weren'tthat interested in the paper work." Co-op residents assumed that Housing would send them contracts tosign and were not concerned when, the fourth week into the quarter. Housing still had not done so, hesaid. "Winter quarter it went just as long" before the contracts were sent, Thies said. "They (thecontracts) should have been in prior to their (the residents) even being in the co-ops," Coy said. Thereason this did not happen is "they have all the keys and just moved in." They could do this becauseFairhaven housing acts virtually autonomously, Coy said, although with "no authority" to do so. Askedwho has the authority to secure contracts or evict non-signers, Coy said, "If you go by the book, I guesswe do," but that it is a matter with "political overtones." He "doesn't like to intervere with the Fairhavenset-up." Coy was aware that the contracts had not been signed "for some time," he said. Until last week, his office had no list of dorm 5 residents. "I found out (about Coy's concern) either Monday or Tuesday(of last week), and that was only by accident," said Janine Larsen, Fairhaven resident aide in charge ofco-ops. Coy first indicated his concern not to the co-ops but in a letter to Fairhaven Dean Joe Bettis,copies of which were sent to several people on campus. The co-op residents first became aware of Coy's concern when Larsen opened Fairhaven Housing Director Larry Pressler's copy in his absence lastweek. They contacted Coy, who "told one of our members that it (sending the letter) was a big mistake,"said Larsen.

For an in-depth interview with Nugent, see page 7. byDAVENEFF TheApril 6 decision by federal officials to re-open for public use shores and campgrounds around Baker Lakeeight miles below Mt. Baker's steaming Sherman Crater, was questioned Monday by Western's DonaldEasterbrook, chairman of the geology department. Easterbrook, who has studied the mountain since1966 questions the U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) which estimates the odds against a mudslide,precipitated from the steaming crater, are 1,000 to 1. Of concern to Easterbrook is a decaying 300-footpeak along Sherman Crater known as Lahar Lookout. Easterbrook estimates release of rock from LaharLookout could release upwards of three million cubic years (10 million tons) of material that could travelinto Boulder Creek and Baker Lake eight miles below, causing a tidal wave. Writing in Geology magazine last December, Easterbrook said, aside from a volcanic eruption, a mudflow could be triggered by "failure of large masses of hydrothermally altered rock." "Steam vents at the base of the rock ridge risingnorthward above the notch in the east rim, provide a potential source of decomposed rock," he wrote. He termed the U.S.G.S. mudslide odds "ridiculous because the conditions are highly conducive for amudflow. (The odds) mean that whatever the average mudflows have been for the last 1,000 years, it'smeaningless in terms of current conditions." The gaseous steam coming from Sherman Crater wasgauged last November to be 1.3 kilograms per second, compared to .35 kilograms per second lastMarch, according to U.S.G.S.'s Dave Franks. Among gases being emitted is hydrogen sulfide, Frankssaid. "Once (hydrogen sulfide) reacts with water and air, it oxidizes into sulphuric acid. The acid thenbreaks down rock, and if the reaction goes far enough, the end product is clay," he said. Franks, whohas studied the mountain since 1972 said, "We know there's a lot (of clay) on (Mt. Baker's) surface andwe think a lot within." While conceding "a large avalanche can occur without an eruption" Franks said the U.S.G.S. is satisfied a "trigger" or volcanic eruption that could cause a much larger mudslide isn't likelysoon. When asked what he would have done if in a decision-making position in regards to opening upclosed areas, Easterbrook said, "Fortunately, it's not my responsibility to worry about it. However, I would say the stakes are still very high." ---------- Western Front - 1976 April 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, April 27,1976 Most AS candidates support pay Kelly discusses plans byKAREN BORDERS for candidate position Associated Students positions 4-10 will be paid next year forthe first time. Most of the candidates said they would be running even if the positions were not paid. TheA.S. Board voted April 1 to pay each of these positions $169 per quarter on an academic year basis.Several current candidates were on the board that instituted the pay. Sue Meyers, presentlysecretary/treasurer and also a candidate for that position next year, voted for the pay. "At first I wasagainst pay for positions 4-10 because I looked at is as a gift. Now I view it as a control mechanismalong with the Evaluation Committee," she said. Services Council Representative candidate, MarkBlackledge was die only candidate who stated that pay was a central part of his decision to run. "Iappreciate the pay. I wouldn't run without pay. It makes me feel responsible," Blackledge said, becausedue to the work involved, officers were required to take lighter class loads. "Standing on the outside ofthe Associated Students, I am against it," Activities Council candidate Mark Gramps said. He added hefeels his ideas may change, however, if he finds the work load too heavy. Don Wayland. candidate forServices Council representative, was also on the board and in favor of pay. "I think it should haveacademic credit," he said. "I went along with the pay because I believed in what they were doing." Hesaid he would have run even if the position was not paid. "I'm enjoying it — that's why I'm there," he said. Wayland's opponent, Dean Christensen, said he would have run too. "I was planning on running even if it wasn't paid." He said he liked the idea of pay, though. "With these positions being paid, there's moreincentive for students to get out and vote." Karen Pitt, a Recreation Council candidate, said she didn'tknow the position was paid until she applied. "The pay comes in handy," she said, but also said shewould run without it. David Cutbirth, candidate for director at large, was a member of the salary and wage committee recommending the pay. He explained, "This quarter, as well as in the past, there has beenan immense turnover on the board. Once they get involved, they find out there is a lot of work." Cutbirthsaid they wanted to show people their time was worth something and also hold them accountable.Cutbirth said, "Personally, I would do it anyway." Samuel P. Kelly, a candidate for the position of dean of the Division of Graduate Studies, met last week with various faculty and administrative groups todiscuss plans for his candidacy. At an informal meeting April 22, Kelly stressed the need for furtherevaluation and development of existing graduate programs. An area of particular concern to thecandidate is the graduate assistants program. Kelly stated graduate assistants are being misusedand underused. There is a need he said, for the graduate council to evaluate the situation and developsome guidelines so the program can better serve institutional needs. Workshops for the basic reviewof grading and teaching techniques was an example of programs that could evolve. Kelly also expressed his interest in combining the Graduate Division with the Bureau of Faculty Research. Overlappinginterests in programs and grants would warrant this, which Kelly called a "sensible" development. Healso said administrative burdens such as registration would be lighter if shared by the two offices.Kelly, who received his bachelor's degree in English and Economics from Western in 1951, has servedon the Education faculty since 1965 and is the director of the Center for Higher Education. TM:Simple technique for 'the ideal society9 MEREDITH BRIGGS [Editor's note: Western Front staner GregHoofnagle will cover the aspects and implications of Transcendental Meditation in a four-part series. Acommunity-wide bicentennial program to create an 'ideal society' through TM will be inauguratedtomorrow at 8 p.m. in the Belling-ham Public Library.] by GREG HOOFNAGLE It's not a movement. It'snot a religion. Transcendental Meditation is merely a technique. But it is a technique with over amillion followers worldwide — 700,000 in the United States alone. TM is simple. It involves sittingcomfortably with eyes closed and allowing one's mind to "settle down to a least excited state,"according to meditator Meredith Briggs. Briggs was recently made the Puget Sound area's governor forthe 'Age of Enlightenment' by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the TM program. Support for TM isgrowing rapidly, Briggs said. Speaking before the Senate on May 6, 1974, Adlai Stevenson (D-Ill.) . said studies of TM should be taken seriously. "All evidence points to the effectiveness of TM in the fields ofrehabilitation," he stated. On a local basis, Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz proclaimed March 20 and 21 as a 'Celebration of the Age of Enlightenment.' The 'Age of Enlightenment' envisioned by TMpractitioners is not a vision at all, Briggs commented. She said over 200 scientific studies havesuggested once five per cent of society uses TM, a "remarkable" change will occur. "This enlightened society would be characterized by a lack of problems, full of peace, progress and harmony," shecontinued. Other studies indicate when only one per cent of a city practices TM a decrease in crime,sickness and accident rates results. Briggs mentioned a crime study by Garland Landrith III andCandace Borland of the Maharishi International University {MIU} in Fairfield, Iowa. The study involved 24cities: 12 in which at least one per cent of the populace were meditators by the end of 1972, and 12'control' cities of comparable size, location and crime statistics, but with few meditators. From 1972-1973, nine of the control cities reported an increase in serious crimes, averaging 7.8 per cent. Incontrast, the 12 'TM' cities noted an 8.8 per cent drop in serious crimes for the same period. "On thebasis of these scientific studies, an ideal society is a practical possibility, not a vision," Briggs said.About 550 Bellingham city residents practice TM, or about 1.4 per cent of the populace, she said. Stuart Johnson, head of local TM teaching activities, noted most of these people learned TM CAPITOL MUSICCO. SHEET MUSIC 102 N. Commercial Next to Mt. Baker Theater 676-0927 within the last two years. "The growth is exponential," Briggs said. She and Johnson agreed only about 30-40 city residents wereusing TM in 1969. Johnson estimated half the people who learn TM in Bellingham each year are collegestudents. "Last year we taught TM to about 15 college students a month," he said. He added it is hardto keep track because students "are so mobile." Mayor Hertz, in his recent proclamation, summarizedthe goals of the International Meditation Society (IMS — the TM organization): —to develop the fullpotential of the individual —to improve governmental achievements —to realize the highest ideal ofeducation —to solve the problems of crime, drug abuse, and all behavior that brings unhappiness to thefamily of man —to maximize the intelligent use of the environment , —to bring fulfillment to theeconomic aspirations of individuals and society —to achieve the spiritual goals of mankind in thisgeneration.

Receiving his bachelor's degree in political science from Reed College in Portland in 1942, Collier then earned his doctorate ineconomics from Stanford University in 1955. Collier became head of the business administrationdepartment at Utah State University in 1958. In 1968 he was appointed dean of the College ofBusiness at Logan after serving as Dean of the College of Business and Social Sciences for nine years. Collier, who was at Western for interviews April 1 and 2, spoke to more than 40 students about theprobability of forecasting future economic trends. Key ingredients to forecasting that Collier spoke of were historical trends, business cycles, federal monetary and fiscal policies and the probable outcomeof presidential elections. Personally attesting to the reliability of economic forecasting, Collier as agraduate student at Stanford, was part of a team which undertook forecasting the economy'sperformance over a five year period. The students were off the actual amount by one-tenth of onebillion dollars, Collier said. Similarily, in January, 1975, Collier forecast the year's gross national product would total $1,500 billion. Official government statistics show his figures were on the optimistic sideby .06 per cent. Front wins top honors in journalism contests The Western Front was named thestate's top four-year college newspaper in the Sigma Delta Chi professional journalistic competitionSaturday night in Seattle. The winning entry was from fall 1975 with Editor Dennis Ritchie. The judgescalled it "an excellent blend of news of interst to students." The University of Washington Daily placed second and the Whit-' worth College' Whitworthian finished third. The first place award was the Front'sfirst top honor in state competition in six years. The Front placed third in last year's competition. InColumbia Scholastic Press Association national competition, the Front was recently awarded a "FirstPlace" rating by scoring 935 out of a possible 1,000 evaluation points. All papers scoring above 850points were placed in the "First Place" category. The Front entries for the Columbia competition werefrom all four quarters of 1975. The editors were Bob Speed, Connie Tedrow, Greg Cohen and DennisRitchie. "I learned something about the dignity of the human race in China," the little man with a lingering Australian accent said. "I learned the range of human values is a universal. The same range ofpersonalities, aspirations and personal achievements is present in all peoples, irrespective of language, race and culture." But doesn't bringing a Western religion into a culture change and ultimately destroythat culture? "Agents of change are multiple. Missionaries are easily singled out because they arechangers by definition," he said. Tweddell told of being "bawled out" recently by a retired anthropoligistfor "going into a culture and changing it." "Looking back, I see I should have asked her if she had evermet a person down whose throat she could poke her opinions. She couldn't have; it's impossible to pokeanything down anyone's throat. Every person opens the door of his mind from the inside." As Tweddelltalked, students dropped in periodically to borrow books from his massive collection. His office is wall-to-wall books, but everything is neatly in its place. Tweddell looks just like what you would expect theowner of such an office to look like. His appearance is immaculate. Whether sitting or standing, he holdshis back completely erect. In his early seventies, he has a full head of gray hair and a moustache. Hisanachronistic, double-breasted, navy-blue suit is tailored to his slight, 5'5" frame. He looks distinguished,but pretentious he is not. In 1942, Tweddell and his wife and three children left China and came to theU.S. Why here? "There's a very simple, two-legged reason for that," he said as his eyes danced. "Imarried an American lady." Although he had only gone as far as junior high school in Australia, Tweddell decided to attend the University of Washington. By digging ditches in Seattle for 50c an hour, he slowlyearned money for tuition. In his freshman year he taught Chinese at the University. He also took alinguistic course that year. "I saw a good many missionaries retiring from China after spending theirwhole lives reducing a language to writing. I realized linguistics was the key to doing a better job in tenyears than they could do in forty." Tweddell enrolled in an intensive training course in the SummerInstitute of Linguistics. Since then, he has reduced five languages into writing, including Snoqualmie andDuwamish for his masters degree and Iraya (a Phillipine dialect) for his doctorate. In 1947 the Tweddellsreturned to China where, he said, they were treated "quite courteously" by the Communists. "There wasmore hostility towards us in the 1930s, in the earlier stages of the revolution. In southeast China, peoplesometimes spoke, against us at public meetings. I know of two public meetings held specifically fororganizing a mob to go arrest us. But on both occasions, a downpour of rain stopped them." At this hesoftly laughed, but became serious once more and added, "But the agitation came from outside and wasnot the feelings of the town's people." In 1951, the Tweddells quit the missionary business and camehome to the United States. Why? "Age," Tweddell replied. "I was tired."

No question, working overseas for 2 years in the Peace Corps is a lot differentthan working in the United States. Even though Peace Corps assignments mean long hours, low pay,and a certain amount of frustration, there are rewards for special people. Like working and living in adeveloping country. Learning a new language and culture. But most of all, helping people where there'swork to be done. Apparently, these rewards are enough to attract many Americans. 65,000 since 1961.And 68 cour*rfes in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific continue to ask for thes.ervices of PeaceCorps Volunteers. Currently, the Peace Corps has volunteer opportunities in a wide variety of skills anddisciplines. These include architecture, forestry, business,'accounting, nursing, fisheries, secondaryeducation, math, general science, engineering, home economics, urban planning, the physical sciences,french, and many other areas. Some openings require an advanced degree plus experience. The deadline for applying for programs that begin this Summer is right around the corner.

The AS Board of Directors, who deal withover $250 thousand, of student's money, should be able to give answers to most of the campus issues.Not so, if this year's candidates are any example, the Front discovered. The "Opposition Party," ChasColeman and Jim Lazar, wants to see "security disarmed" and "a full time attorney hired to defendstudents." However, they should know security is unarmed, and as an arm and agency of the State, theAS would break the law by hiring an attorney. Coleman is running for President and Lazar is running forInternal Vice President. Good Luck, students! Although presidential candidate Stephen Mc- Callister,member of the unofficial Steve Barrett Party, knows the campus problems, he doesn't suggest anysolutions. In Western's annual invitational, McCallister is batting zero. Letters Bruce Ayers knows theproblems well enough to offer solutions, although somewhat generalized. Ayers' experience in sevenareas of the student governance system gives him an edge in the presidential race. Running againstLazar for Internal Vice President is Ricki Bussanich, another unofficial Barrett party member. She wantsto see the High Street problem solved, but who doesn't? She wants to see better health services, butoffers no solutions. Alexandra Henry is also running for the Internal V.P. spot. Citing a disorganized ASand a lax Program Commission shows her limited experience has not clouded her vision. Like Ayers,Henry offers generalized solutions, but both seem more up front than their opponents. — SuldDardarian. Reader asks, questions writer for straight facts Editor, Western Front: "Warm Beer or SourGrapes, Jeopardy wants to know." With reference to C. Michael Archer's letter (April 20), I direct thefollowing comments, with some naive hope that in the future he will get his facts straight beforecommitting them to paper: To begin with, C. Michael, Jeopardy is not the sponsor of the poetry readings at Fast Eddie's, nor in fact, does it have any formal connection with said readings (although they are ofa quality I would be pleased to support]. And as for your TASTELESS remark about a "scientist" beingawarded a poetry prize, I can only suggest that: (1) a mathematics graduate student is not a "scientist,"and (2) since you have never read the poem by George Dresser, the author in question, you are in arather ridiculous position to question its merits. (In fact your criticism is so oblique, it seems aimed more at the academic inclinations of the award-winning author than at his poetry, which displays a peculiar elitism on your part. Are you suggesting that English majors should necessarily make better writersthan math majors?) I am more than slightly aggravated to see such erroneous, emotionally biased and unsubstantiated material. Mature criticism is based on fact. I hope the implication is clear. M.Fay Jewell Editor, Jeopardy Fishing decision article includes wrong facts, seems'one sided7 Editor,Western Front: In your article of April 20, "Whitney explains fishing decision," you have a few thingswrong. For one thing, the Indians are not entitled to 50 per cent of the steelhead and salmon (salmonwas left out of your article). The Indians are only given an opportunity to catch 50 per cent of thesteelhead and salmon. The Department of Fisheries wants to preserve the fish runs and also enact thedecision by Judge Boldt. The reason the department has had such a hard time is the state courts havestopped the department of Fisheries everytime it has attempted to enact the decision. In futurearticles, I wish you would get your facts straight or not print them. ^This article seemed very one-sided. Ihave done some research on the decision and events that led up to it and what has happened after thedecision was made.

Letters debate to stop Thedebate between the Christians, atheists and W.D. Bokamper has not dealt with contemporary problems.It has been, we feel, a waste of time for all. If the discussion is warranted, then a public forum should bethe place. The letters in the Front should deal with issues on the campus and in the community, not thequestion of whether God or tihe Big Bang theory started the rat race. Christians will not convince atheists of their views on a printed page or vice versa. With that in mind, we are discontinuing the letters dealingwith the subject until the issue becomes relevant and newsworthy. We are a newspaper, after all. Ourpersonal view is the Big Bang may end the whole mess in a span of time. The bang will be set off by a nut and a red button. The nut doesn't live on campus, so the debate won't be anything for him or for us. Outto Lunch by DAN SMITH ADVISER: Jim Schwartz The startling news was first noticed by a low echelonclerk, who soon spread it upward and onward through levels of reporters, dissecters, analysts andtransmogrifiers. Within no time (a couple of months, give or take a few weeks) the condensed, simplifiedreport had reached the penthouse base of operations of the Fabulous Four high atop the Ivory Towercomplex in Gotham. Yes, the Fabulous Four, defenders of the peace, guardians of the right, championsof the true and, during slow periods, part-time aluminum siding salesmen. The report said a horriblemalady had afflicted the land, bringing frustration, loss of direction and disquietude. The incisive, in-depthreport concluded by offering no conclusions, so the Four set out on their own to find out, humming theirtheme: "Sunshine Supermen." Plastic Man, political leader of the Four, started bis search in the nation's capitol: Wonderland of the Potomac. When he entered the halls of Congress, he was flabbergasted. Thevast halls were almost empty, except for a few men with long beards, apparently dead at their desks, andcovered with cobwebs. Only one man still stood feebly, holding the floor. "In conclusion, I feel that topass this radical anti-slavery bill now would be a hasty act of untold consequence for the white race.Why, before you know it, even women will be wanting to be free," he wheezed out, then fell flat on the floor like all the others. Someone tapped Plastic Man on the shoulders. He turned to face perhaps the mostancient man he had ever seen. "Excuse me, sir," said the man. "Are you a member of the committeestudying the feasibility of establishing an oversight group to monitor the functioning of a regulatory agencydevoted to the setting up of a study group to analyze the question of whether the Commerce Committeeshould propose setting up a sub-committee on lichee nuts?" "No," Plastic Man said, "I'm not." "Ohfudge, you mean I'm going to have to repeat that to someone else?" the old man said, falling over fromexhaustion. Clearly, something was wrong here. Plastic Man next paid a visit to the What House to seethe Precedent. Inside, he noted everything had been padded and all the sharp edges were filed off.Suddenly, a man came bouncing down stairs on his head, spit out some gum, said something aboutnever doing that again. He screamed he was being chased by a ray-gun and ran out, stopping just longenough to post a sign saying "Out to Lunch at Pennsylvania, Indiana, Texas, West Virgina, etc. Be backin January . . . Maybe. Plastic Man figured he wouldn't find out much here. Finally, he went to the source. . . the famed Fountain of Votes. Every politician who went seeking here came back saying how muchyounger, intelligent and energetic he was now than before. It was empty, except for one old man in thecorner, waving a flag. "Remember the Maine, Remember the Alamo, Get on the Raft with Taft,Tippicanoe and Tyler Too, Propserity is just around the corner, Ask not what your country can do for you . . ." Obviously hysterical. Plastic Man approached him nonetheless. "Where are all the voters?" heasked. "Here," the old man replied. "And the Convention delegates?" "Here . . . it's me, I'm Old BenGunn . . ." Plastic Man could see no one else. The old man had obviously seen something that haddriven him mad. Suddenly, snarling among the spider webs and decayed yellowing ballots, the beastadvanced. Plastic Man saw it just in time. He attacked, changing the shape of his body, bis face andfeatures, the tone of his voice and even his molecular structure. He stretched himself to the breaking point and condensed himself to the point of uselessness. At each change the beast seemed satisfied, butsoon began to glower again and depress the air. Plastic Man turned old and tired and knew he had beendefeated. He is now lobbying for the Prune industry. (Next issue . . .

Arthel "Doc" Watson, 53, parlayed his powerful voice and fine finger pickin'guitar into a journey through America's musical heritage. Ably abetted by his son^Merle on guitar andbanjo, Doc and his new group Frosty Morn went from bluegrass to blues and from rock'n' roll to gospelwith ease and grace. The show began with Doc singing "I'm on My Long Journey Home." "Lost all mymoney but a two dollar bill," Doc wailed, and the audience was richer for it. Following a Mississippi JohnHurt tune from their.new album "Doc and the Boys," the band went into "a little foolishness" with a songabout a cat with measles and a dog with whooping cough. Though hardly a literary masterpiece, itfeatured great twin lead work from Doc and Merle. A Doc and Merle flat pickin' fantasy followed, thenanother John Hurt tune. A blues lengent, Hurt used to tour with Doc before he died, and his spirit wasalive here Sunday night. Doc spun a few stories about his early days in Stoney Fork, and took a fewswipes at the commercial record industry. He followed with "one of the few off the Nashville assembly like I like," titled "Gypsy Woman," it featured Merle on slide guitar. By now the audience was hootin' andhollerin' at the end of every song, and smiles were everywhere. Pianist Bob Hill announced that "it takesa musician to sing the blues, but anyone can feel it when you have irregularity," then came a Bill Monroetune in beautiful four part harmony. One of the loudest ovations of the evening was reserved for thepercussion work of Joe Smothers on a "Blue Suede Shoes/Tutti Frutti" medley. Smothers seemedslightly embarrassed by the accolades for his masterful work on washboard, bell and bicycle horn. Aroaring, stomping standing ovation brought Doc and the boys back for two encores. They included arocking version of "Riding on that New Railroad Train" and a gospel tune, "When the Roll is Called UpWonder I'll Be There." The latter produced, as Doc said it would, "A good healthy feeling to go homewith." Music defined in drums by CASEY BUHR People were feelin' it deep down Thursday afternoonwhen Dumisane, an Evergreen State College music teacher, played his African drums. In a workshop inthe Viking Union lounge, about 60 persons gathered close to hear Dumisane teach and play, along with10 other musicians who brought drums, sticks, wooden blocks and jeweled shakers. Dumisaneexplained that African instruments include drums, string instruments, wind instruments, marimba(metal keys), voices and "beat instruments" which cannot produce melodies and do not play more thantwo notes. Bells, blocks and shakers are beat instruments, he said. "But the drum is not a beatinstrument," Dumisane said. "You can make a drum speak." "Different parts of Africa make a 'big deal'out of different kinds of instruments," Dumisane said. Areas specialize by making instruments according to the natural resources there. Drums are not found in the desert, but in areas such as West Africa,where there are animals for hides and jungles for wood, he said. Dumisane kept the audience laughingwith his interpretations of American dances, his wide-eyed expressions and his imitations of differentinstruments. He said there are two types of music, recreational and spiritual. Recreational, or tribalmusic, is equivalent to what we listen to "on the AM," he said. "It's any music you pay money to hear."Spiritual music is special music, for a special time, by a special people, for a special occasion," hesaid, "like the death of a chief." . The lecture-demonstration preceded a show by the Dumisane MariereMarimba Ensemble, sponsored by the Black Student Union.

In the last six monthsNugent has gone from a cult-like following back east, to national prominence with a best-selling album, appropriately titled, "Ted Nugent/' Slumped in a chair, with bis shoulder length plus hair stuffed up into a white cowboy hat, the Ted Nugent watching TV and munching peanuts is bubbling about the Ted Nugent who has finally hit the musical spotlight that has avoided him for the past ten years. "It's the prouderman who lives in the house he built himself," Nugent said proudly. As the former leader of the AmboyDukes, Nugent has been known to come out on stage, wielding a bow and arrow, or jumping from astack of amps, wearing only a loincloth. For a while he would break glass with the piercing openingnotes of the Dukes' opening number, the list could go on. The night before Ted leaped from a mountain of amps to begin an encore. "I felt it, so I thought I'd do it. It's a total free for all out there," he said."Gimmickry has to be conducive and a byproduct of the music in order to be effective. I think it's agimmick to bend the notes or scream like I do," Nugent has been playing since he was nine years old.At age 16 he started the Amboy Dukes in Chicago, and a year later brought them to Detroit. At 27,Nugent has been recording for the past 10 years. He has been a part of 12 albums, a combination ofDukes' material and solo albums with various bands he's formed. "I've been on the road for the last 11years. I like to stay on the road and play a lot. The band now is ready, willing and able. People beforejust kept pooping out. I just kept hammering it out," he said. Nugent turns the channel of the television to a violent-filled picture. A manic woman begins shooting several people, and we both wonder what thewhole thing is about. Nearly four months to the day, Ted almost became Rock's first assassination victim when a youth pointed a .44 magnum revolver his way at a concert in Spokane. "I didn't even see itcoming. Hell, I didn't even know what was going on until after the show," he said. The same youth laterkilled four members of his own family. Success has been a ways in coming for Ted. His former label,Discreet, failed to promote him to the extent needed to grab a national audience. For the last five years,Nugent has managed himself, a task that kept him above water financially, but a job that was verydemanding, since he was still a musician constantly on the road. "I was just bitin' my tongue until a realpro could come along, which I got with Epic, (his current label). I signed with David Krepps, who alsomanages Aerosmith. My brother John is also my road manager," Ted said. New management can easilybe pointed out as the reason for the emergence of Ted Nugent here out on the west coast. Before aDecember date last winter, Nugent had never been to Seattle, or the west coast for that matter. Tonight,(Friday) Nugent would start off a show at the Seattle Center Arena that had Johnny Winter headlining.The next night Nugent had the whole show to himself at the Woodinville Dome. That show lasted nearlytwo hours, as Nugent and his band finally got what they wanted for some time. "We finally got to do ourown show. We played most of the album and some other stuff. Just kept hammerin' it out at them. Wereally cover a lot of territory when we can do our own like this," Nugent quipped. Nugent, who's fromDetroit, Michigan has quite a following back east. In most major cities, - the band headlines 15-16,000seat auditoriums. Next month, Nugent will share the bill with Aerosmith in an 80,000 seat auditorium.The show is completely sold out. And Ted Nugent is selling albums. The album "Ted Nugent," his latestand the first for Epic, is currently among the top twenty in Billboard Magazine, and will reach gold,(500,000 sales) in early summer. A single off the album entitled "Hey Baby," is receiving a great deal ofair play on both AM and FM stations around the country. Another album is set for a June release date. "I could have sold a lot of albums years ago if I had wanted to sell what the record companies wanted us to do, and had them properly produce and distribute the product. I had my own things I wanted to do and ifI'm going to make it I'm going to do it on my own terms," Nugent said. On stage the guitarist looks morelike a frontier, scout for the 5th Cavalry than a rising rock star. Clad in buckskin and fringes decorated by bird feathers, and necklaces of animal teeth, Nugent comes on like a ravaged madman as he rolls hiseyes at an audience and screams in a shrill that would make Alfred Hitchcock's dentures fall out. Athome in Michigan, Nugent owns a 2,000 acre farm, where he hunts and lives with his wife and two-year-old daughter. His stage gear is a product of his hunting prowess. Before the Saturday night show in theWoodinville dome, Ted sat in his room and watched TV while it rained outside. "I want the world, and Iwant it now," he said half jokingly. In another two hours he would be fanning the opening" chords to"Stranglehold," and Ted Nugent would have 2,000 fans just like that, in a stranglehold. What is a . . .BIRKENSTOCK? The distinguishing feature of the Birkenstock sandal is the molded footprint contour. Itwas inspired by observing the natural function of the foot on soft earth. A yielding surface supports thearch of the foot and invites the gripping action of the toes. The patented footprint contour is composed ofhighly elastic cork, it becomes flexible with body warmth and molds itself to your feet — becoming more "your own" with every step you take.

With its focus on employmentdiscrimination, job benefits and participation in government, the initiative is a measure which would setthe legal age of adulthood at 18. The initiative will be seven pages, the longest in the state's history.Costs for printing will be $2,500. Originally Ringhofer thought it would be around $300. The problemcame when legal requirements conflicted with pledges Ringhofer made for the campaign. In drawing upthe petition, he discovered 47 computer-typed pages listing 100 statutes which would be affected by theinitiative. The secretary of state requires these be printed on the initiative. Ringhofer pledged to wage agrassroots funded campaign, not accepting more than $25 from any contributor. So far this has brought$340. He needs the $2,500 and 17,784 signatures by the July 2 filing date, if the measure is to go on the November ballot. Ringhofer said his fund is small because "people are not used to giving smallcontributions." With media support, Ringhofer said he believes the public will endorse the measure. "A lot of people don't know about it," he said. "They'll help — but they need to know about it." The 25-year-old sociology /business graduate explained, "To be a fireman, you have to be 21. To be a metro-busdriver, you have to be 21. But to be a school bus driver, you can be 18. It isn't consistent." Eighteen-year-olds can work in city jobs, he said, but workers are not eligible to contribute to pension plans until24. He also described discrimination on college campuses. For example, Central Washington StateCollege and Washington State University require students under 20 to live on campus. Ringhofer said hedoes not see the drinking issue as the major one connected with the initiative, finding only six lawsdealing with age limits for alcoholic beverages. "I would rather see this initiative die because we didn'thave enough money than to try and get the big bucks," Ringhofer said. He wants it to be "a peoplecampaign, not one of big money." The address for the initiative is P.O 30669, Seattle, 98103. Box VUassociate director goes for top spot The Associated Students may not have to look far for its firstapplicant to replace Kay Burke, Viking Union director and student activities adviser.

WashPIRG still lacking funds by LIZ RUST Students may beunder the impression final negotiations for a WashPIRG at Western are a mere formality. According tosome Students for WashPIRG, they are far from that. Co-coordinators of Students for WashPIRG AnnShiras and Sam Adams, share the concern students do not really know where the situation with Western WashPIRG stands. The Board of Trustees in its March meeting approved a resolution to Western'sPIRGers' proposal, by a vote of three to one. The concept of WashPIRG was passed, the funding system proposed by PIRGers was not. The funding mechanism is still up for discussion pending approval of thePIRGer's funding concept by the state Attorney General. A presentation of this concept is still beingprepared. Final negotiations in the June meeting of the Board then, will hopefully come up with a suitable and favorable funding system for WashPIRG at Western next year. The funding concept in question is amandatory but refundable collection of $2, added to registration costs. College President PaulOlscamp has expressed his concern about the "mandatory nature" of fee collecting, as a requirement toregister for classes. Board Chairperson Ritajean Butter-worth and Board members Ark Chin and PaulHanson said in the March meeting they would prefer to see a voluntary funding system implemented.According to Steve McCallister, a coordinator of Students for WashPIRG, the definition of voluntaryfunding differs among members of the administration, and PIRGers. He said according to a memo fromOlscamp to the All-College Senate, Olscamp does not view the funding as voluntary because paying theadditional $2 is a condition for registering for classes. PIRGers feel it is voluntary, McCallister said,because students could later have the money refunded if they chose not to support the organization.Shiras stated PIRGers also view the funding mechanism as voluntary because an absolute majority of the students supported this proposed funding. In final efforts to pass WashPIRG funding at the Junemeeting of the Board, Students for WashPIRG are involved in an endorsement drive. They are seekingwritten endorsements of faculty, administrators and members of the community. Recently,Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz gave the organization his endorsement. PIRGers have also receivedendorsements from the Washington Federation of Teachers' executive board, among other groups andindividuals. Shiras states the organization needs a great deal more in the way of endorsements beforethe June meeting. WashPIRG organizers at the University of Washington recently hit the 55 per centmark (over 16,000) in their signature drive, making it the fourth campus in this state to see majoritysupport for the WashPIRG proposal. Washington State University and Whitman College have alsoreceived majority support along with Western and the U of W. Both Adams and Shiras said if studentswant to see a PIRG at Western next year, and want to get involved in the effort, they can do so by:—Writing letters to the individual board members. Their addresses are in the Students for WashPIRGoffice, Viking Union 213. —Obtaining faculty endorsements from this office and taking them to facultymembers for signature. —Attending weekly meetings of Students for WashPIRG on Wednesdays at 3p.m. in Viking Union 224. —Attending the June meeting of the Board. Adams also stressed he wouldlike student input on what kind of projects WashPIRG should undertake, should a funding mechanism be passed.

Being their first road trip in the last four meets, the change of pace seemed to agreewith the Vikings. Western's weightmen swept the discus and shot put. Martin Rudy's throw of 148'1" inthe discus was good for first place. Second and third places went to Dave Brekke (129'9") and Paul Kelly (127'9") respectively. Dieter VanArsdale won the shot put easily at 51'4". Kelly improved about 10 feet inthe hammer throw for the fourth straight week to win that event with a heave of 120'2". Rudy, throwing the hammer for the first time in competition, was second at 116'. "My throws didn't feel good," Kelly said."I've been learning to throw the hammer from a crash course since this is the first year I've thrown it. Myform improves each week, but my improvement of 10 feet every week won't keep up." Double winnersfor the Vikings were Rod Bring in the 100 (11) and 220 (22.6), and John Ziebarth in the long and triplejumps (20'1" and 45'4Vi" respectively). Bring and Ziebarth both had season best performances. MikeThompson finished second in the triple jump with 44'il»/2". Clay Stenberg and Greg Wirtz got Westernstarted on a winning note by capturing first and second in the steeplechase. Stenberg won with a 9:55.3clocking and Wirtz was timed at 10:05.8. A unique feature of the race was there wasn't any water in thewater jump. The Viks also got firsts in the javelin, high hurdles, 440 and 440 relay. Chuck Creveling'swinning throw in the javelin was 190'9". Bill Church won the hurdles in a time of 16.3. He was second inthe high jump at 5'10". The relay team (Charley James, Johnson, John Huntley and Bring) had a 44.6clocking. James won the 440 in 52.1. In a tough mile race Matt Shaw fell to the track at the finish as heleaned forward in a futile effort to avoid being overtaken by a Portland runner who won in 4:29.5. Shawwas second with 4:29.6. "My legs started going wobbly and wouldn't hold me up when I started leaning," Shaw said.

Its original function was topractice for war and settle disputes between villages. Rules of the game were few and fields included theentire area between the competing villages. Killing an opponent to obtain the ball was acceptable andentire villages often took part. The form of lacrosse played by Western's Lacrosse Club is more refinedand less brutal but basically the same game played by the Indians. Using a pocket of leather webbingattached to a stick the members of the ten man squad pass the ball along a 100 yard field attempting toscore a goal as in soccer. In general it resembles ice hockey or soccer with the ball being passed in the air instead of the ground or ice. Helmets, arm and shoulder pads are worn for protection against"slashing," the checking of an opponent in any area of his body other than his arms, shoulders or stick."Slashing" is penalized by one minute in the penalty box lt; Western's lacrosse team is the newestmember of the Pacific Northwest Lacrosse Association. In their first season the team is winless butplayer-coach Rob Almy is optimistic about the team's development. "I wouldn't be afraid to play theseguys against anybody," he said following Sunday's 8-4 loss to the University of Oregon. Almy and goalie Chuck Sawyer are the only experienced players on a team comprised me inly of "the curious."Inexperience was evident in the loss to Oregon. Taking an early lead the Viks held their own and endedthe first half tied 4-4. Inexperience took its toll in the second half as the better organized Oregon teamcombined superior passing and Vik errors to add four goals. Almy was pleased with the performancepointing out that lacrosse scores usually run in the high teens. The low score shows a greatly improvingdefense. A small turnout is another reason for the team's poor record. There are twenty people on theteam roster with an average of about fifteen showing up for the games. Anybody wishing to turnout for the remainder of the season is encouraged. The club is made up of members of the community as well asWestern students. Saturday the team dropped a 13-5 decision to Seattle Lacrosse Club in Seattle.Goalie Sawyer recorded 20 saves for the Viks. Chuck Caley scored two goals for Western and PhilWiseman, Adams and Goon had one each. Steve Adams scored two goals against UO and Tim Goonand John Hale added one apiece. 'Cats, Eagles claw Viks; streak ends Losing matches to both Central and Eastern Washington State Colleges last weekend, ended the Western men's tennis team'swinning streak. The Viks, who had won five matches in a row, were beaten by Central 6-3 Friday anddemolished by Eastern 8-1 Saturday at Ellensburg. Against Central single wins came from JeffMcKinstry 6-3, 6-4; and Charly Black 6-2, 6-3. In doubles the lone win came from the team of SteveChronis-ter- McKinstry as Central defeated Western for the second time this year. Eastern handedthe Viks their worst defeat of the year. Providing the only win for Western was Gary Stansifer in singlescompetition, winning 6-4, 6-3. Coach Don Wiseman was disappointed with the unproductive weekend. "We obviously let down. Both Central and Eastern are good teams and they played the best tennis,"Wiseman remarked. "We have a lot of problems to iron out before the conference championships inMay."
