There will be a meeting of the Seattle club on Thursday morning immediately after assembly for a few minutes. Bring your dues and an idea written on a piece of paper for the improvement of the club. Without these two things we can do nothing. The proceeds of the Thespian play of this year will be given over to some worthy cause in connection with the war. Nothing more than this is known at present. The exact benefit to which it will be given has not as yet been de­cided. MILITARY PARTY Tuesday. Feb. 19, at 4:10, in the bio gym, the' Y. W. C. A. girls will enter­tain the student body and faculty in honor of the new students, at a military party. Watch the bulletin board for the poster and sign your name and the division in which you wish to serve. Everybody save the date and come prepared to have a good time. ATTENTION Arthur Waldwyn Evans, the Welsh wit, and humorist, scheduled for our ly-ceum course on Monday evening. Feb. 18, will be a treat that none of us can afford to miss. He treats a deeply seri­ous subject with the light fascinating touch of an artist and holds the audience with intoxicating merriment throughout the evening. It takes essentially the hand of a master to tell "What Am­erica Means to Me" in a time like the present and at the same time keep the audience amused. Mr. Evans' former success is enough recommendation but for those who ask more we might say that he is a relative of David Lloyd George, the British Premier; is widely travelled and thoroughly familiar with political conditions the world over.

MILLER RECEIVES I R E PRAISE FOR BOOK The following article was taken from the "New England Journal of Educa­tion," Boston. Jan. 17: "Education for the Needs of Life," by Irving E. Miller, Ph. D. "Through clear statements of clari­fied thinking along lines of real needs of the child .youth and adult life, the author is helpfully informing, intelli­gently, suggestive and inspiringly in­tensive. No one can carefully study 'Education for the Needs of Life" with­out having a broader vision of the mis­sion and message of the teacher. It is a book which guarantees success through teaching and the vitalization of learning on the part of reader or student." KLIPSUN CONTEST PRIZES The Board of Control has voted to of­fer alluring prizes for the best contribu­tions to the Literary Dopartm„n lt; of this year's Klipsun. For the best short story $10.00 will be given ;for the second best, $5.00. Other prizes are: Best essay on a cur­rent topic. $5.00. second best, $2.50: best poem, $5.00, second best, $2.50. The judges chosen for the contest are Mr. Glenn Hughes. Miss Mabel Zoc Wil­son, and Miss Georgia Springer. Other details regarding the length of manuscripts and the time limit for their being handed in will be announced within a short time. In the meantime, the Lit­erary Editor, Mr. Frisk, is anxious that a larger number of contributions should be commenced. S NEXT WEEK "Education for the Needs of Life" is the title of Dr. I. E. Miller's new book. This is also the theme of the Second Rural Life Conference which will be held the evening of March 20th, con­tinuing through the 21st and 22nd. The program which is being prepared at considerable effort will be sent out in the near future. It consists of new films and no long waits. Every seat should be occupied before the lights are turned out for the first reel. Come for the beginning act and stay until the choir sings, "Hallelujah 'tis done." Lunch will be served at the building between scenes so there will be nothing missed by delayed jitneys, or by waits for the goose to be served when it had not been caught. Side shows will be conducted during the time the big tent is dark. One will admit the business man who wants to learn what psychology has to do with the price of foodstuff. Another will tell how to secure hard-tack in our own back yard, not at the front. A third will tell how to knit a sock that could be used either for a mitt or a helmet. (Continued on Page Eight) . STEINER'S LECTUR! IAL INTEREST A large and appreciative audience lis­tened to the lecture by Dr. Edward A. Steincr on January Sth. He brought us an inspiring message, his subject being, "The Challenge of American Spirit.'" "There are others to be blamed for starting the war," said Dr. Steincr. "Peace canont come too soon, and as to what will happen when the war does end. no one knows. The future is a sealed book. "Most reluctantly this nation entered the war after closely watching the trend of affairs, and out of a peaceful people has come one of the most remarkable armies of the period. Neverbefore has there been a cleaner, braver, finer set of men in the cantonments under the stars and stripes, than there is today. This nation is a more unified and well moulded structure than can be found among the other nations. For example, the Germans are hammered together an-1 not moulded. The United States is pol­itically united and even the one-third of our population are of foreign blood, yet we are trying to make a people out of many nationalities. The determining fin-tor if one is an American is not that lie was born here, but born again after coming here. It is spirit rather than blood. "The two factors which make a na­tion hold its people, are its language and its history. This country is destined to be an English-speaking nation. It has remained triumphant, and has crept into the speech of the foreigners. "America is a history of people—not of kings and dynasties." Dr. Steiner paid high tribute to Washington. Lincoln, Roosevelt. Taft. Byron, Wilson and other Americans and he said that the people arc as ready to thrill at the sight of the Stars and Stripes as they ever were. L LIFE CLUB So many are asking of the schools of the state, that plans be worked out in harmony with the country's needs. This, in brief, is the plan proposed by the Rural Life Conference which will be held in the Normal School, Bellingham, Wash,. March 20-21-22. Sections will be arranged in which definite, practical relations will be dis­cussed. The business man will discuss Education in Business. Educational Methods in Religion will have a place; war cooking and war sewing will be demonstrated; in short, every phase of the needs of the country will be on the program. Supt. Ethel Everett of Whatcom County, has decided to have all of her teachers present for the full time. At least two other counties will assist by having part or all of their teachers here. A STORY THAT THE CENSOR 1 NOT SEE There has always been a ieeling that the fields are greener far away—and we never recognize the geniuses with whom we come in contact da/ by day. Clever students of human nature sometimes keep their discoveries hidden from view and pursue their daily work on equal footing with the most commonplace. I have before me a widely circulated east­ern magazine, with a very strong article entitled, "Home and School," written by Professu gt;- O'Shea of the University of Wisconsin and when I had finished read­ing it, I turned the pige* and my eyes fell upon this title, "Her Eldest Son," a short story, fully illustrated, beautifully written, and charmingly told by our own Olive Edens. I knew this would interest the students, and I knew also that Miss Edens is literary critic for the Messen­ger, and again I know if she sees this article that it would come to an un­timely end in the waste basket, so I am taking a chance and putting one over on Miss Edens by handing it in without her criticism. On Lincoln's birthday the Junior Red Cross campaign began with a program in the assembly. The campaign will be waged for the next ten days, ending with Washington's birthday, and it is hoped that during this time many ?ie\v members will be added to the organiza­tion and greater interest shown in it.J. work. In the past week the. grammar grade girls, with the aid of a few Nor­mal girls, have completed four little dresses for Belgian children. CHORAL CLUB CONCERT Mrs. Thatcher gave another one of her creditable concents Friday evening.

President Nash's opening words were of appalling and dreadful import. The morning papers had stated the opin­ion of one Mr. Russell, American envoy to Russia, concerning the probable su­premacy of Germany's arms as a result of the Bolsheviki treaty with that coun­try. Dr. Nash admitted the seriousness of the conditions in regard to the safety of Democracy and Democracy's Allies. But he also affirmed his optimism, say­ing that the United States will win, she must win! But oh! the need of the help of even the least of us who live under the Stars and Stripes. Our first duty is to keep up courage and hope in the breasts of our soldiers—a thing that lies in the power of us all. These few words served as an intro­duction to the talk of Mr. Short, a resi­dent of Bellingham, a patriot seeking ways to help the "boys." After a brief discussion of our soldiers' need of relax­ation from their hours of toil, and what this recreation means to them, he gave to us a tangible means of bringing to the camps a little of innocent cheer. All Yankees are lovers of the modern "movie"—the place where one may go and live many lives in many countries, and forget the narrow confines of daily labor. The theatrical managers of tlu country have done their "bit" in cou- Jewelers to THE NORMAL SCHOOL TRADE Next to First National Bank EXPERT WATCH AND JEWELRY REPAIRING Glass Pins and Jewelry Made to Order Our Specialty SANITARY MEAT MARKET FRESH AND CURED MEATS FISH AND POULTRY 1017 Elk Street W.

He held up before the students tiny books which contained twenty different worldly careers, twenty different ex­periences of human lives, twenty differ­ent meanings, joys and sorrows. He of­fered these for sale at the small price of $1.00 which will help America in her crisis to avert the onslaught of the bloody, vicious Hun. Our dollar will send these twenty shows as messengers of love and cheer to those who long for them so much. We know that Mr. Short's endeavors will not be fruitless. Mr. Short was followed by Rev. Dun­can McPhail of the Baptist church oi this city, who gave a very appropriate and original speech on Lincoln and his work for humanity. His opening word?, full of promise, hope and truth, were, "In the New Testament we find that a man was sent from God whose name was John." He went on to say that that has been God's great gift to mankind all through the ages; every generation or so he sends a man of Godlike prin­ciples to emancipate and bring the peo­ple to a little higher civilization and in­tellectual progression. In the time of the Dark Plague of Uncle Sam, a man of God appeared whose name was Abra­ham Lincoln. The anecdotes of his hon­esty are so well known, that Rev. Mc­Phail did not think it necessary to say any more than, "The proverb is true in all instances; 'honesty is the best pol­icy !' " He then described Lincoln's in­dustry, in words which led us to recog­nize the stupendous blessing Lincoln's words portended, when he said, upon seeing the slaves, "If ever, by the help of God, I am able to strike a blow against this nefarious practice. I will do so and do it hard." He was shocked at the suggestive fact that these poor creat­ures were able to sing and be jolly amidst their degredation; that they had become as dumb brutes satisfied- with brute treatment. Well, by the help of God he did strike a blow and one that, resounded and echoed through the world. His common sense showed most plain­ly in his knowledge and treatment of human nature—his tactful intuition in the use of his tongue. When asked at one time his opinion of Sheridan,- his words were, "Sheridan, Oh! Sheridan! Well, I will tell you what I think of him. He is one of these men with long arms and short legs who is able to scratch his shins without stooping. That's what I think of Sheridan." What meaning his empty words conveyed! His mercy is the quality which healed the nation's wounds and refined the na­tion's people. Rev. McPhail's quoting of Portia's famous "Mercy Speech," nev­er came in more apportunely. His faith was strong and true. When discussing the surety of God's being on the side of the North, he replied, in his great, gentle voice, "It does not worry me if God is on our side; the supreme question is whether we are on God's side." The Double Quartet report that they have had delightful times at the various places where they have sung. Last Sat­urday they had an especially enjoyable evening at Laurel, while on Tuesday they were at Eureka. Ella Wilken and Heloise Eggers look rather lonesome without their chafing dishes.

THE EXCHANGE A LIVE WIRE Have you seen the "Exchange?" It is a little paper published right here in our print shop in the interest of com­mercial work, home economies, rural school and industrial arts education. Mr. Scudder, the editor, says he is only the middle man for the exchange of ideas, and is encouraging the teachers now in the field to tell through the paper how they are solving their problems. Besides this valuable correspondence the paper contains valuable manual training pro­jects with diagrams for making, and other interesting features. the program of the Canadian Club last Friday evening. Margaret Burnhatn Several of the students took part in gave a vocal solo, Hazel Huntsberger a reading, and Willard Yerkes a cornet solo. They had a good time and believe that their services were- appreciated as thev were asked to come again.

RURAL LIFE " A club that is successfully training its members for future teachers, in more lines than one, especially parliamentary drill, is our Rural Life club. After our sectional meetings on Thurs­day, Feb. 7, we adjourned to the main assembly room for our business meeting and program, where a delightful even­ing was enjoyed. In the absence of Rudie Oltman, who has enlisted in the navy, we elected Myrle Onstine chairman of the mem­bership committee, and Herbert Davis as vice-president of the club. Mr. Klemme, who has been away on extension work, was given a hearty wel­come back into the club. He gave us a most stirring talk on the requirements of the rural school teacher. Miss Keeler then told us, in a very clever and interesting way, the history of our club gavel. The gavel was then presented to the president by Lael Eas-terbrooks. This being "Lincoln night" in our club, an especially good program was given: Some interesting incidents of Lincoln's life—Ruth Swartz. What we owe to Abraham Lincoln- Margaret Murray. FOR SEATTLEITES ONLY Act. I. Bellingham. Scene—Normal school. Halls, class­rooms, groups of intelligent, superior-looking people around mumbling to themselves the following: "We are from Seattle, but if you value your life don't tell anybody. We are ashamed of it and have succeeded Glasses, once the sign of age, are now the sign of good sense. If you cannot study with eye comfort the sooner you consult Woll the better. 205 West Hollv Street. splendidly in keeping the awful fact al­most universally unknown since Sep­tember. We must admit we did thaw out once for College Club night bur, hurried right back under cover." The year will soon be over now and if we can only keep up our past record and if our rubber-soled shoes don't wear out, we will be able to pat ourselves on the back, draw a big sigh of relief, as we stealthily step on the night boat and say, "Thank goodness! • a whole year at the Normal and nobody knows where we're from!" And then we will put our hands into our pockets and with miserly joy take out the quarter that we saved the last semester. We will look at it. turn it over and over, bite it maybe, and say to ourselves nobly, but perchance a little sadly, "You little quarter—my dues for last semester, it was you who made the Seattle club' die, it was you, with my help^ who made it the worst club in school when it ought to have been the biggest and best; we are pretty poor little boosters, you and I." We shall think what we might have done, the friends we might have made—had we had the interest we ought to have had in our club. THESPIANS MEET A rare treat was given the Thespians at their last meeting when Miss Eden.s delightfully told of some of the theatres and plays she had seen while in England and France. The following officers were elected: President—Johnny Miller. Vice-President—Marie Armstrong. Secretary—Myrtle Pugsley. Treasurer—Rainhardt Hanson. Sergeant-at-Arms—Paul Washke. Messenger Reporter—Helen Upper. WEIR INN Mabel Trafton spent the week end at her home in Anacortes. Emmet Tupper is visiting his wife, who is attending Normal.

Games were played, after which came "eats" long to be remem­bered by all those present. One of the main features was a snowy-white cake adorned with twenty red candles. Fran­ces blew them out with two puffs. Won­der what that signifies? The girls at the Cedars are much in­terested in war cooking. Anna Brown has made a sjjccialty of cornmeal muf­fins. She will be glad to give all of those so desiring a sample, as she still has a quantity to spare. Spring is surely on the way. Jewel Smith and Marian Osborn are already planning their gardens. Virgil Ranton and Elizabeth Gwinn were callers at the Cedars during the past week. Two lost dogs have made their home at the hall. If the owners will call for the canines, no reward will be requested. One girl among our crowd, Marian Os­born, has distinguished herself by going to bed before ten o'clock for the entire past quarter. DON'T MISS n ew Gas and Wood and Coal Range.

The person who is always giving a piece of his mind is usually the person who has the least mind to spare—Anon. VIRTUE AND HABIT Too many people have the idea that virtue is worth while only when it is on exhibition. Note, for instance, the ex­pression "company manners." Should a person be any less courteous when hi? does not have visitors than when lie does? Does he mean to say, by this ex­pression that he does not bother about being polite when no one is watching? We have seen this same style of reason­ing in other things. A few days ago a student was rehearsing a recitation to be given in public, and when it was re­marked that that person's standing posi­tion was not good, the reply came, "Oh. this is only practice, I'll stand correctly when I get on the stage." Here is where so many people make a serious mistake. They do not realize that if they culti­vate good habits in private these habits will follow them into public, and that bad habits will-do the same. The formation of good habits involves the study of self, the untiring correction of bad habits, and the repeated perform­ance of acts that are as difficult in their accomplishment as they are worth while after they become habitual. So all progress is made in the development of the. individual. After he has master­ed one good habit, and made it a part of himself, he is ready for the next, and so he builds himself up. Some one has said that the individual is one great bundle of habits. If this is true, it makes some difference whether the hab­its are .good or bad, and we readily see what we are doing for ourselves every time we acquire a good habit. "WHAT WE NEED IS SHIPS" Comradship Comradship is a large word, a large-hearted word, that makes of one "his brother's keeper." It is one of the EDIMIA1S sweetest things in life, and having the spirit of comradship covers often a mul­titude of sins. There are persons who do not discrim­inate carefully, that imagine that •'•'chums" arc "comrades," but it is a serious error. We may be '•'chummy" with a few people and lack the essen­tials of comradship utterly. And what is this comradship then that is so desirable? It has three distinctive characteristics, namely, helpfulness, or service, not to a few,—our friends, but to whomever we may meet; unselfisn-ncss, not counting the cost to yourself for serving; and cheerfulness, which gives a sweet savor to the whole. Easy to acquire, and simple in nature, isn't it? It is the characteristic of a good sol­dier, of a true friend, of a successful stu­dent, and of thorough gentleman or wo­man, the world over. It belongs to the one who lias a cheery "good morning" for every fellow being rc-ing regardless of station, ability or per­sonal beauty; to the man who slaps his employee on the back and says, "Your wife better this morning, my man?" To the man who lifts as gently from the dust a homely dressed, ignorant woman, as a charming, pretty girl; to the sol­dier who shares his last drop of water in "No Man's Land." Indeed, it is the true spirit of the Christ as it seeks to dwell in men's hearts, and when the world around, there lives in the hearts of the individual his comradeliness, the great Brotherhood of Man will be estab­lished with peace on earth. Be a comrade to the one who rubs el­bows with you. whether he be a dear friend or whether you hardly know his name. But of all the ships, comradeship is the best, for it includes us all. WHY! The other evening As I was walking Down the street Meditating Upon Rev.

PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1918 February 16 - Page 6 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1918 AMONG BOOKS By Glenn Hughes VI. Arnold Bennett:—It seems almost an insult to one's intelligence and educa­tion to be told facts about Arnold Ben­nett, and yet there may be a few indi­viduals to whom the name is unfamiliar. This English writer of the younger generation has been in vogue for approx­imately ten years now, and has been dis­cussed in magazines and drawing-rooms and class-rooms at quite regular inter­vals during those years. Estimates as to his place in modern literature vary wide­ly— due in large measure to the fact that his style and literary method are in some points extreme. Every one agrees, how­ever, that now and then at least Ben­nett has hit a high water mark of fic­tion. Disparaging criticisms arise most­ly from those who dislike journalistic qualities in literature—for Bennett is a first-rate journalist. There is little doubt but that "The Old Wives' Tale," a novel of considerable length and detail, is Bennett's master­piece of writing. The conception of the1 work, explained interestingly in the author's preface, is an original and dar­ing one; the execution is certainly an amazing product. It came near setting an entirely new model of realism. The reader is astounded for months after he has Had the book aside, at the ability of a man to carry him through several hun­dred pages of sordid and woefully com­monplace details, and then leave him with the sense of having read one of the great tragedies of modern literature. This is exactly what Bennett succeeds in doing. There is no use attempting to deny the presence of great art in this work. Another of his important contributions to the late novel is a triology—a fine STUDENTS If you are going to have photo­graphs made, why not have qual­ity and good workmanship. It is this that gives our photographs a style and finish, lacking in the most of work turned out.

Patronize Your Next Door Neighbor Our Goods and Prices are Right L set of narratives, with superb character­izations— going under the titles, "Clay-hanger," "Hilda Lessways," and "These Twain." The three were published sep­arately, in their chronological order, and excited considerable interest and sus­pense on the part of English and Ameri­can readers. (For it is only fair to say that America really recognized Bennett before England did; and this is a rare occurrence. Three or four years ago Bennett made a trip to the United States, his first venture, and his keen wit was impressed in a most fascinating manner. His re­actions to our institutions, our suppos­edly native characteristics, and our large cities, are recorded in vigorous, colorful style in a volume called "Your United States." It is on the travel shelf in our library. Bennett as a dramatist is known chief­ly by "Milestones," which is not purely his, as Arthur Knoblauch collaborated with him in its creation. However, there are three other volumes of Bennett's plays on our shelves. "The Honey­moon" is a three-act comedy, "What the Public Wants" is a four-act comedy-sat­ire, "Polite Farces" is a collection of one-act drawing-room comedies—come­dies that act well and read rapidly. They all contain a sufficient .number of laughs to justify them. As an essayist, this versatile writer is exceptionally successful. He adopts a breezy, familiar, superficially clever style in order to catch the tired business man and the casual reader. He cannot turn mental flip-flops as can Chesterton or Shaw, but he can illustrate hi3 ideas with a convincing punch, and that is all that one can ask of a novelist and play­wright. "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" is his most popular collection of prose discussions. The contents of this thin volume are as ingenious as their title; they also contain much good sense. "The Human Machine," and "Mental Ef­ficiency are of the same type, but arc perhaps more studied in their methods of expression. Here, of course, Bennett is the dyed-in-thc-wool journalist— tricky-, verbose, obvious, exaggerated, but withal, sincere, witty, and pleasant reading for the seashore. TO MOUNT BAKER Oh lofty form, so snowy white, Crowned with the morning's purest light; Wilt thou not tell me from thy height What is the secret of thy might? In Winter's mists or Summer's haze My eyes to thee I love to raise And as I fondly gaze and gaze For thee my heart is full of praise. And when the mist they glory hides, And o'er thy form the storm king rides: Yet will I still in thee confide, For thou are firm whate'er betide. Thou art a balm for human woe And on us beings here below Thy kindly smile dost free bestow, As from thy base proud rivers flow. Oh, noble pillar of the skies— God made thee from the earth to rise; Thy being with His wish complies, And in thy robes no evil lies. —E. Kobelt. THE WORLD HATES A HATER E. J. Klemme Drummond says: "Love is the great­est good in the world," then hate, its opposite, is the greatest evil. Love warms, hate freezes. Love attracts, hate repels. Love speaks in the sunshine of life; hate is seen in the dark clouds and furious storms. All the world loves a lover and hates a hater. Love nourishes alike the loved and the lover; hate wastes both the hated and the hater. When hate comes creep­ing into your life "think straight" and because of the damage it inflicts both to the giver and the receiver, straight­way force it out of your thought. Hate hurts the hater more than the hated—the latter often refuses to ad­mit the hate. Procrastination is a virtue when applied to hate. Never hate today if you can put it off until tomorrow. If you have recently sent out little darts of hate, chase them and change them to angels of love or bury them forever. Do this, and you will clearly under­stand what William Lloyd Garrison meant when he said, "I have always with me two constant companions—a cheerful disposition and a clear con­science." We wonder how many of our readers have ever read the following poem on our school, written by Fred Prouty, a local journalist and poet. The Messenger takes pleasure in giving it space in our literary department.

Four are below the eighth grade and one takes high school work. There have been several schools in western Jefferson county, just around her, where there has been but one pu­pil in the grades. (My sister is teaching such a one now.) The schoolhouse is just about half way between the Olym­pic mountains and Pacific ocean. It is situated on the south side of Hoh river and on the north side of a ridge of hills, so that for two or three months in win­ter the sun only comes up to the tree tops. We have had about two clear days since last fall, and a few sunshiny spells during some days so as to get some fine rainbows. The most of the time it has been rain, rain, rain, with­out any bows. We get twelve or thir­teen feet of rain a year. We have had only six or seven floods this winter. Trails and bridges suffered quite a lot.

I asked her how she knew I would be there, and she calmly replied that it was all over town. I like teaching one grade a great deal bet­ter than teaching mixed grades in a rural school.

AFTER SUNSET I have an understanding with the hills At evening when the slanted radiance fills Their hollows, and the great winds let them be. And they are quiet and look down on me. Oh, then I see the patience in their eyes, Out of the centuries that made them wise. They lend me hoarded memory, and I learn Their thoughts of granite and their whims of fern, And why a dream of forests must endure Though every tree be slain; and how the pure, Invisible beauty has a word so brief, A flower can say it, or a shaken leaf, But few may ever snare it in a song, Though for the quest a life is not too long. When the blue hills grow tender, when they pull The twilight close with gesture beautiful. And shadows are their garments and the air Deepens, and the wild veery is at prayer.

Mr. James Beaver will soon take charge of an extension class of Seattle that was organized by Mr. Parish, sweeping and only those whose excuses arc approved by the committee may be excused. Mr. Chute has received many congratu­lations on his book of '•'Projects in Wood­work and Furniture Making," which he has just put out. —Dr. Katherine Gloman, Osteopathic Physician, Exchange Building. ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG The position of the flag is aloft, from a pinnacle of a building higher than th lt;- gt;. furniture of a room, and above the one carrying it. Tlie flag must not be raised before sunrise nor remain up after sunset. In raising or lowering the flag, it must never be allowed to touch the ground. When the flag is raised formally, all present should stand at attention with hand raised to forehead ready to salute. When the colors are passing on parade, spectators, if walking, shall halt; if sit­ting, arise—and stand at attention. The flag hung out of doors should al­ways fly to the breeze, preferably from a pole, and should never be fastened co the side of a building, platform or scaf­folding. The flag should never be placed belo^v a person sitting, nor be used as a cover for a table, desk, or box, nor should anything be placed on it except it be a Bible. The flag should never be placed where it will be struck by a gaval. The flag should not be worn as part of the whole of a costume. When worn as a badge it should be small and pin­ned over the left breast or on the left coat lapel. The flag should never be washed. When worn or torn it should be rever­ently burned. Ex. To Broadbent goes this week's honor along the literary lines. The remark that gained him this place is as follows: During a general discussion on th? poems taken from the ''Swedish Nightin­gale." a series of classics written in dialect, he gravely told us that they were written by Florence Nightingale, who wrote other comic things besides this book. Training School Teacher—"Now, Will­iam, if your mother had five dollars and your father gave her ten dollars, what would she have?" William—"A fit." Teacher—"You don't know your ar­ithmetic." William—"Well, you don't know my mother." Mr. Smith—"We had the hardest windstorm last night you ever heard of. It swept everything off the farm but the mortgage." FLOWERS OF QUALITY FLORAL EXCHANGE 102 West Holly Phone 288 O U R F I RS (Continued from Page Six) The graceful boughs on every tree With gentle motion beckon me, Mid whisperings without end. When sheltered by their swaying boughs Then all my noble instincts rouse— I pledge again my highest vows— In friendly shade and deep. But when from their secluded way Mid haunts of men I daily stray, For grace and strength I have to pray My plighted vows to keep. If I could live within some glade Beneath the fir tree's kindly shade, Much easier than it is. Of all the men that I have met Not one could wear a coronet So kingly-wise and have it set As fir tree weareth his. When my last day draws near its close And tired hands shall seek repose, When tear on friendly eyelid shows O lay me 'neath a fir— No monument that man has made Will be as welcome as the shade Within some cool and quiet glade Where boughs awhispering stir. For there within my lowly bed With kindly boughs above me spread, Old dust to dust shall lose its dread In quiet peace and deep; And growing there above my sod Its freindly roots shall pierce the clod And bear it upward toward the God Who doth the spirit keep. And thus in death the gentle tree That during life has sheltered me Will like a Jacob's ladder be, And point the way to Him. In life I love their peaceful shade, In death I shall not be afraid If buried in some lonely glade 'Neath stately fir and trim. —S. H. Hamer. WAR A storm of shell bursts o'er the plain, The shrapnels shriek and yell, A thousand fall in leaden rain, Of orgy like to hell. A thousand mothers' sons have died A monarch's whim to please; A thousand sons, their father's pride, In death have found release. Have found release from home and friends, From all that they held dear— Have gone to meet untimely ends— They fought without fear. They fought for freedom, so they^ thought, And fighting died like men, And yet their fighting gained them nought Unless they live again. Their monarch can't restore a life, Nor heal a gaping wound, He, only, can direct the strife ^ That sends their dust to ground. 'Tis centuries since the Savior came And shed his precious blood; And we who believe upon His name Must tremble at this flood: This flood of rapine, war and lust, That's grinding millions down— We cannot falter in our trust, Nor spare repugnant frown. The gospel semmage, "Peace, good will," To every man was given; Its meaning lingers with us still To point the way to Heaven. Has Christ indeed then died in vain, Has his religion failed? Or is this dreadful curse a stain Like some disease entailed Upon the race of human kind For sins by forebears done? If such the case, then bear in mind, The victory will be Avon, For I have faith that we will yet, Before our race is run, See sin by righteousness upset— A place for goodness in the sun. And when that glorious time appears, And sin, and strife, are fled May love of Christ allay our fears— It was for this He bled. And I am sure that God above Who sent His only Son To fight the battles of His love Will see the victory won. —S. H. Hamer. Shop with Messenger advertisers. COLLINS CO.

Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1 9 17 No. 20 Assembly TAKE TIME TO LIVE! "You students work too hard," was the opening remark made by Miss Nor­ton on Monday while addressing the student body, and one received with acclamation. She continued, however, in her inimitable way, "You do not ac­complish too much, but you work too hard. Take time to appreciate life, na­ture, and the beauty to be found in ev­erything. "Is it enough that you should ad­mire the vividly tinted sunsets, or the bright colors of autumn? The deep purples, subdued blues and grays of winter possess a message also. "The doing of things is a valuable phase of life, but do not let the doing side crowd out the seeing and hearing part of your life. Have an open mind —see beauty wherever you look—hear beautiful music—read good and enjoy­able books, for the pleasure they af­ford, as well as for knowledge. "Take time to live! Some of us are paying too much life for living. We must stop and live as we go along. Did yon ever stretch out on a sandy beach ar on some sunny slope— all alone with nature—rest and think? Try it— this sort of thing aids actual living. You will accomplish more if you real­ly live more. In the words of Lowell: " 'Merely to bask and ripen is some­times the wiser scholar's ideal.' "Then I should add a word to the 3ld expression, and say, 'Stop, look, isten and live!' " This was Miss Nor- :on's closing remark to a very inspir­ing address. TINA LERNER, The Brilliant Russian Pianist. UNA LERNER 10 BE E 1 POWER OF A PURPOSE. We were fortunate in having with is last Friday, Principal W. C. Weir, )f the South Side High School. Among )ther phases of the question of ideals le mentioned the great power of hav-ng a purpose in life—an ideal, which ;ver advances as it is approached. "Ideals," he continued, "give a main enter to life. Our character cannot ise above our ideals—they are the re-ult of purposeful endeavor. They orm a standard by which we may mild our lives—play up, play the ame, and have an aim." Mr. Weir pointed out, also, that the atalogue of the ages shows lives that ave developed under some definite urpose or ideal—that the lack of a hance holds no man down, if he de-ermines to rise and follow his ideal. Students and faculty of the Normal School of Bellingham are especially interested in the orchestra, for the school proudly claims Madame Eng-berg, director, as a member of the Normal music department. Miss Fran­ces Hays, now manager of the orches­tra, was also until recently a valuable instructor at the Normal. The program for the concert for March 2 is highly attractive. Its num­bers are: 3. Italian Symphony Mendelssohn 4. Piano soli— (a) Impromptu A Flat Major.-Chopin (b) Ecossaises Chopin (c) Nocturne F Minor Chopin (d) Valse, Opus 34 No. 1 Chopin TINA LERNER. .5. Invitation to the Waltz.... .Weber 6. Piano soli— (a) Polichinelle Rochmaninoff (b) Au Couvent Borodine (c) Music Box Liadow (d) C'-mpanella Liszt TINA LERNER. 7. Andante Cantabile (Strings) Tschaikowsky 5. Marche Slav Tschaikowsky 1. Merry Wives of Windsor Nicolai 2. Concerto for Pianoforte with Or­chestra Greig Allegro Moderato Adagio Allegro Marcato TINA LERNER. On the Wednesday preceding the concert Mrs. Irving J. Cross and Mrs. C. X. Larrabee will give a second of their delightful interpritive recitals. Mrs. Larrabee will talk of the history and theme of some of the most beau­tiful numbers on the concert program, and she and Mrs. Cross will then inter­pret them on the piano.

In the lecture course number Monday night, Mr. Cooke will give his lecture, "The Religion of Democracy," which he will illustrate with some of his own poems. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 24 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1.917 Collars Collars You will notice a marked difference in them if sent to the Cascade Laundry They not only last longer, but they fit more satisfactory.

L FIVE IS STILL UNDEFEATED On Monday, Feb. IS, the Normal basketball team returned home from a successful trip in Eastern Washington. They played three games while away and still have their record unmarred by defeat. The games were played with the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Ellensburg Normal and Pros-ser Athletic club, respectively. The two former teams have appeared on the local floor this season, each time being defeated decisively. . The return game with the College of Puget Sound, was much faster than the first game, due to the largeness of the gmn, and the fact that both teams showed marked improvement in their playing. The final score was 30 to 14. The line-up: W. S. N.—Wold and Kennett, for­wards; Davenport and Ansett, guards; White, center. C. P. S.—Miller, and Curtis, for­wards; Woody and Hanawall, guards; Huntington, center. Substitutions—Ford for Davenport, and Rocky for Wold. Summary—Field goals: White, 4; Kennett, 3, and 6 fouls; Davenport, 2; Huntington, 2; Ford, 1; Anstett, 1; Wold, 1; Miller, 1, and 8 fouls. "Tii the return game with Ellensburg Normal the Bellingham boys were in entirely new conditions. Scattered about in the Ellensbui-g gym are large osts that at one time were paddet, but most of which has been worn off ana in some of the warmer mixups these immovable structures would suddenly loom up and take an active part in the contest. The Bellingham boys, how­ever are used to overcoming obstacles and had little trouble in winning by the score of 43 to 17. The line-ups: Bellingham Normal—Wold and Dav­enport, forwards; Anstett and Ford, guards; Rocky, center. Ellensburg Normal—Campbell and Green, forwards; Eaton and M. White, guards; Beck, center. Substitutions, Bellingham—Kennett for Wold; J. White for Kennett. If it's a stylish, natty, serviceable, shoe you want, remember Raymond's-the real shoe store. Geo. F.

The Prosser team composed of old high school stars, were confident that the Normal team Avould be easy meat but when the visitors got into action their hope were blasted. The Eastern Washington boys have a good team, but the Bellingham quintet played the best game it has ever played and . the local five was out-clased in all departments of the game. There was a large crowd out to see the game and the zest and vim of the crowd did much to add to the attrac­tion. The line-up: Bellingham Normal—Wold and H.

"History of St. Valentine's Day," Miss Warren; reading by Miss Dybdahl; song, "Corn-in' Thru the Rye," by the club. Mrs. King then read an interesting clipping, which Miss Woodard kindly gave to the club, telling of the life of Ohiyesa. The remainder of the evening was spent in the big gym having a good time, especially with the new members who were initiated. Later refreshments were served in thep rettily decorated cafeteria. At this time appropriate valentines were distributed to the members of the society. STUDIO CLUB NOTES. Thursday evening of last week, the members of the Studio club met and participated in one of the most enjoy­able evenings of the year. After the regular monthly business meeting, an interesting program was given. Miss Loutett opened the program with a piano solo. This was followed by two vocal solos, given in a most charming manner by Miss Hazel Dash-ley. Miss Bailey read a paper on the life and works of Rodin, a modern sculp­tor. The last number on the progrgam was a most profitable and interesting talk by Miss Beardsley. Her subject was "Famous Pictures by Rembrandt and Contemporaries in Galleries at Home and Abroad." The talk was il­lustrated with lantern slides. The program was followed by games appropriate to St. Valentine's day, af­ter which refreshments were served. The following students were voted into the- club: Alice Drew, Jean Belch, Alice Belch, Esther Korthauer. These will be initiated at the next bus­iness meeting. The Y. M. C. A. is not a dying in­stitution, but is gaining strength and influence every day. The labor bu­reau, headed by Mr. Owen, is showing splendid returns, and proves a boon to all in search of work. The program committee has arranged for a schedule of lectures that no man can afford to miss. Plans for a joint meeting with the Y. W.'s is under way. Thruout the semester work will be of the very highest standard. Last Thursday morning the club was favored by an excellent talk by Mr. Hoppe. Here are some of the sparkling truths the speak­er uttered. "There is nothing more practical than the workings of the square deal. The time of cut-throat methods of business has passed. The principle of caveat emptor, 'let the buyer beware,' no longer exists. The railway companies of today shout equal respect and courtesy towards all. Every time we take an elevator, we see the workings of the square deal, in the responsibility someone takes for our safety. In spite of cynical ways and expressions every man has an in­nate instinct of the square deal. The attitude, 'do others or they will do you, and do them first,' is not maintained, even by those who profess it. There is nothing more difficult than to be hon­est with one's self. It demanus ar gt; imagination to fathom the feelings of others, to see ourselves twenty years from now, to prepare for old age, to give ourselves and others a square deal. In the food we take, in the hours we keep, and in the words we say, our sense of the square deal is portrayed. A man who can't give a square deal is the one who thinks the world has it in for him. The law of the balance manifests itself in the rythm between give and receive. The ability to give a square deal, demands above all else the culture of that spark of the divine, within us, that is called conscience." Mrs. Irving J. Cross has accepted the position of organist at the First Pres­byterian church, corner of Garden and Maple streets. Any students who are interested in church music and choir training are cordially invited to attend an important choir practice on Tues­day evening at the church. Mrs. G. E. Munn of Kansas City was a guest of Miss Druse at the a r t de­partment one day last week. Mrs. Munn was formerly a teacher of wide experience. She found the de­partment to be one of the most up to date she had ever visited and the ex-habit of hard" work excellent. Alton S. Druse of Seattle spem. Thursday with his sister, Miss Druse.

In a certain institution there is a wo­man, A most capable woman, Who, with her wonderful power, man­ages a great part of the_ work of the institution. During the day dressed in the digni­fied dress that becomes her po­sition, She attends to her executive duties, And all men do her bidding. But at night she goes home, And once within her own little kitch­en, She puts on a blue apron and gets dinner And washes the dishes afterward. She gets breakfast the next morning In the same blue apron. With the heavy responsibilities of her position upon her And so many things to attend to, It is not to be wondered at That she sometimes Is absent minded. Sometimes she almost forgets To take off her blue apron When she goes to work. One night She had a dream: She saw herself in her office, And her assistants were with her, But they would not go about their duties— They only stood And stared at her. Against the pane of glass in her of­fice door, She saw faces And eyes—many pairs of eyes— All staring at her. "Why do they all look at me?" she cried. "Why do they not go about their busi­ness?" Just then She looked down And what did she see? She had on her blue apron! She awoke. Great beads of perspiration stood on her forehead, And she trembled violently. She arose and groped her way into the kitchen And found the apron. She went back and woke her friend who shared her home with her. "Promise me faithfully," she said, "That you will watch this apron, And see That it is not on me After 9 a. m. Ever." She shook her friend roughly— "I promise," said Margaret.

LUDWIG Watch Expert - - - - diamond Setter Alaska Building, Bellingham, Wash. I On Saturday evening, Feb. IS, the Social-Democratic club bad a party in the domestic science rooms. This was the third party that the club has en­joyed this year. The members were divided into four groups and each group acted as a unit in the series of contests which took place. Each group elected a leader and then this leader chose from the num­ber in his group one who should hold up the honor of his group and win the prize in each particular contest. Had the names given to the contests not been so deceiving, the leader might have used better judgment. As it was he often chose wrongly. For instance, for the "Broad Jump" he would choose the one who looked as though he might excel in jumping, while in reality he should have chosen the one who had the broadest smile, for that proved to be the nature of the contest. There was one contest "for men only." It was a contest in a new method of locomotion—moving for­ward while seated on a board, using both feet and one hand. Starr Suth­erland won the prize but Dr. Herre deserves honorable mention. Each group cheered their contestants, and altogether it was a very exciting race. There were about ten different con­tests in all. The refreshments consisted of ice cream and cake. Eating ice cream was not one of the contests, but had it been a contest the object of which was to be to consume the greatest quantity of ice cream, it is pretty gen­erally conceded that Mr. Bever would have easily led all others.

The Alkisiahs had their annual sen­ior- alumni banquet at the Leopold Fri­day, Feb. 16. It was thoroly enjoyed by about forty members. Our junior members are to be congratulated as they were responsible for its great suc­cess. The program of the evening was as follows: Toastmistress, Frances Ire­land; song, Vida Deign; toast "Past," Maude Carfield; song, Gladys Hamly; toast "Present," Josephine Archam-beau; song, Mrs. Colby; toast "Fu­ture," Emily Crawford; duet, Louise Fraser and Julia de Witt. In conclusion Miss Baker talked on the history of the club. She told us or its life of eleven years, and of all the things in which the Alkisiahs have been the first to participate. We have reason to be proud of our record. ,1Y E On February .the first, the Hays Lit­erary society continued the study of George Benard Shaw. Vergia Fox gave a reading of one of his plays, "Getting Married." As it was long she gave' only the first part. Cassie Cales read an interesting article on "Shaw and Jesus." Music followed the literary part of the program: Piano, Ruth Morrison; ukulele duet, Jessie Bay and Lula Dieckhoff. February 15, Shaw's play "Getting Married" was finished by Ruth Part­ridge. The following piano selections were given by Miss Gardener of the Y. W. C. A.: Waltz, Chopin; Grillen, Schumann; Voglein, Grieg. The rest of the evening was spent enjoying a valentine party. Much mer­riment was caused over a plant and flower contest. Questions were asked to be answered with the name of some plant or flower. After finding partners by matching pieces of valentine cards, a Virginia reel was formed and danced. Hotel Leopold Fisher: "If 2 and 1 makes shoe blackening, and 3 and 1 makes sewing machine oil, what will 4 and 1 make?" Davis: "Why—a. I don't know." Fisher: "Some mathematician/ 5, of course." Fine argumentative ability was shown in the debate on National Cen­sorship of the Fine Arts last Thursday evening in the Aletheia club. The af­firmative side, which was upheld by Mr. Mercer, Mrs. Vannoy and Miss Mabel Smith, attempted to prove that local censorship boards are incapable of handling the problem, inasmuch as they lack authority to carry out their decrees, while a national board of cen­sorship would have at its call the en­tire force of the United States gov­ernment. They held that such censorship would not repress true talent, but would uncover the deceits which pass in the disguise of highest art. This board of censorship was to consist of about one hundred men paid by the government. They were then to be diveded into several groups, the members »of each of which would be unusually qualified to judge certain phases of art. In answer to the affirmative argu­ment the negative, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Bolton and Miss Mann, replied •that force cannot remedy evil, and pointed out that should force be em­phasized in the form advocated it might under certain conditions make it possible to abridge even the right of free speech. They attacked with vigor the com­parison made by their opponents of censorship of fine arts to food inspec­tion. The negative claimed that art NATIONAL BARBER SHOP 1304 Dock Street Best in our line We treat you right was not subject" to chemical anlysis. It is subjective and governed by the emotions. Because of this very fact it is impossible to assemble together a set of men Avho could judge art. Hence, after all, the people are the final judges. The negative won by a comfortable majority. After the debate the club enjoyed a valentine frolic in the little gymnas^ ium. Y. W. C. A. Miss Sands of the faculty gave an inspiring talk to the gigrls of the Y. W. C. A. Thursday, February 15, in the association room. Special music by Miss Hamley and Miss Randle was enjoyed by the girls present. All gigrls are cordially invited to attend the next meeting, which will be held Thurs­day at 4:10 p. m. Miss Edens: Where is "obey" used generally?" Gerald Van Horn: "I've heard it is used in marriage ceremonies." Miss Edens: I've heard so too. Eyeglass Satisfaction Adds much to the joy of living.

Over three hundred students have applied for the first button, on merit. The folowing have completed the course and received a Palmer teacher's certificate: Misses Agnes Bailey, Ruth Dieson, Mollie Carson, Lea Dudgeon, Bertha A. Dooley, Helgo Nassie, Elizabeth Arnold, Nina Han­son and Mrs. Shepherd. Did you see the Palmer method group from this Normal in the Febru­ary number of the American Penman? Twenty of Mr. Thompson's students, who secured certificates from him are portrayed. An extremely tall Irishman, travel­ing in the West, put up at a hotel in a small town and was shown to his room for the night. In a short time he appeared down stairs and asked for scissors, needle and thread. An hour later he returned them and said, sadly: "Faith, it's no use." When asked what he meant, he re­plied: "Why the blanket wasn't long enough to cover me feet, so Oi cut a piece off the top and sewed it on the bottom, but 'tis no better now." HUSH. What's the best thing you ever have done? The whitest day, The cleverest play That ever you set in the shine of the sun? The time that you felt just a wee bit proud Of defying the cry of the cowardly crowd And stood back to back with God? Aye, I notice you nod, But silence yourself, lest you bring me shame That I have no answering deed to name. What's the worst thing that ever you did? The darkest spot, The blackest blot On the page you have pasted together and hid? Oh, sometimes you think you've for­gotten it quite, Till it crawls in your bed in the dead of the night And brands you its own with a blush. What was it? Nay, hush! Don't tell it to me, for fear it be known That I have an answering blush of my own. But whenever you notice a clean hit made, Sing high and clear The sounding cheer You would gladly have heard for the play you played. —Edmund Vance Cooke.

FACULTY NOTES THAT 1 Last Friday, Mr. Parish, with the assistance of Mrs. Merriman, Miss Meyers and Miss Olden, entertained the people of Mountain View with a literary and musical program. A large audience testified to the excellent work done. At Skykomish, on the same date, Mr. Hoppe gave a lecture entitled "The King Who Fell." Mr. Budde, a Normal graduate, now principal of the Sky­komish school, is a powerful factor in community work. It was thru his ef­forts that the community was priv­ileged to hear Mr. Hoppe's lecture. Miss Vollmer's father, C. G. Vollmer, of South Dakota, returned Sunday after, a brief visit with his daughter. Owing to the wholesome and delight­ful chaperoning of Miss Nickerson and Miss McCown, the Uunior party of Saturday night proved to be one of the plpeasantest enterprises of the year. Mr. Bond and Miss Norton is direct­ing the Freshman-Sophomore party made Saturday evening a pleasure to all in attendance. Mr. Hoppe called a meeting of the committee governing the literary con­test for the Klipsun, Tuesday, and im-protant rulings were acted upon. Mr. Parish made a flying business trip to Sedro-Woolley by automobile last Saturday. Dr. Nash left for Olympia, for a conference with the legislators, Mon­day morning. At the last meeting of the Art club Miss Beardsley gave an illustrated lec­ture, on the life and work of Rem­brandt. Miss Woodard was one of the guests present. Mr. Edson has just issued an order for fifteen new typewriters for the commercial department. PLUG. As you haven't asked me for advice, I'll give it to you now: Plug! No matter who or what you are, or where you are, the how Is plug. You may take your dictionary, un­abridged, and con it thru You may swallow the Britannica and all its retinue, But here I lay it f.o.b.—the only word for you Is plug. Are you in the big procession, but away behind the band? Plug! On the cobble, the asphaltum, in the mud or in the sand, Plug. Oh you'll hear the story frequently of how some clever man Cut clean across thee ountry, so that now he's in the van; You may think that you can do it, but I don't believe you can, So plug. —Edmund Vance Cooke.

The second Senior-Junior Kline cup game was played at 4:10 Friday, Feb. 26, 1917, and resulted in a defeat for the Seniors. The score which was very close, the Juniors winning only by one point, was 13-12. The first game as we know, was won by the Seniors and the second by the Juniors, thus giving them an equal race for the last game which will decide the winning of the Kline cup. The game was very fast as the score indicates, and a large crowd enthusiastically rooted for their respective teams. This game showed more skill and practice on part of both teams, the team work itself being bet­ter especially for the Juniors. Senior Line-up: G. Watrous and B. Hilliard, forwards; C.

BIG TAFFY PULL DRESS PARTY The Junior class of the H. S. gave a very successful taffy-pull at the home of Alice Kirkpatrick, Friday eve­ning, February 2. Those present were: Miss Vollmer, Mrs. Kuykendall, Mar­ion Smith, Alice Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Vernon Broadbent, Elwyn Bugge and George Hunt. Later in the evening the party was made merrier by the presence of Mrs. Mer-riman and Miss Barbara Davis. After the program, which consisted of some most excellent violin num­bers, executed (?) by Elwyn Bugge, and a game of "Flying Cloud," intro­duced by Mr. Kirkpatrick, the mem­bers retired to the kitchen to prove their ability in taffy-pulling. The champion was Alice Kirkpatrick. El­wyn dropped his taffy on the floor and in his confusion and embarrassment, ate it by mistake. Vernon holds the record for amount consumed in a giv­en length of time. Friday night, February 16, the Freshmen and Sophs gave a fancy dress party, with Mr. Bond and Miss Norton as patron and patroness. Over sixty were present and enjoyed them­selves hugely, tho they could not but regret the absence f Mr. Parish. They all wanted to see him in fancy dress, but he was obliged to attend the Par­ent- Teachers' meeting at Fermlale that night. "Eats" of ice cream and cook­ies were served and the assembled multitude of Freshies and Sophs dis­persed, each to go home and to their downy beds. FAILURE. What is a failure? It's only a spur To a man who receives it right, And it makes the spirit within him stir To go in once more and fight. If you never have failed, it's an even guess You never have won a high success. What is a miss? It's a practice shot Which a man must make to enter The list of those who can hit the spot Of the bull's-eye in the center, If you never have sent a bullet wide You never have put a mark inside. What is a knock-down? A count of ten Which a man may take for a rest. It will give him a chance to come up again And do his partiftaxar best. If you never have more than met your match I guess you never have toed the scratch. —Edmund Vance Cooke. Mrs. Irving J. Cross presented a few of her Normal and resident pupils in a piano recital last Monday evening at her home at 1125 Jersey street.

Miss Lerner was born in Odessa twenty-seven years ago. Her musical gift was evident in early childhood and she was given every opportunity to de­velop it. She entered the Moscow Conserva­tory when ten years old, completed the nine years' course in five years, and won the highest honors. At fifteen she was soloist with the Moscow Phil­harmonic Society and appeared in Ger­many and England, as well as thru-out her native country. Her youth only made her success the more re­markable.

Show more1971_0202 ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 1 ---------- Cooper Vetos egislature's Judiciary Bill AS President Steve Cooper set off a rash of controversy between \ executive and legislative levels of student government Friday when e vetoed the legislature's judiciarybill. 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.

The troupe is being organized by David Christopher, an experienced mimist from California. The troupe meets at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Fairhaven College lounge andinterested students are welcome. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Both games were played in Seattle. The Rugby Club's next game isSaturday at home against the University of British Columbia. That game will start at 1:30 p.m. behindCarver Gymnasium.

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.

Carroll said the victim "put up a hell of a good fight and struggled at length with the man. My opinion is that even though he was structurally stronger, her struggle with him kept the matter fromgetting worse. In this case, it turned out for the best for her. She wasn't raped." Carroll explained thatsometimes in an assault situation, the harder a victim puts up a fight, the angrier the attacker becomes,and the assault becomes more violent. In this case, Carroll said, the man eventually gaveup andleftthe victim's home, taking her wallet After he left, the victim yelled for help and then called 911. Her neighbor came to help and remembered seeing the man approaching the victim's door, but she did not see him enter the doorway. She later recalled seeing the man running from the victim's house. During thestruggle, the man's watch band broke and fell off his wrist. The watch and a detailed description of theassailant by the victim and her neighbor enabled police to start an investigation, Carroll said. The affidavit reported that the victim's missing wallet was recovered by a postal worker at Ennen's Market the dayafter the assault Fingerprints on the wallet and a credit card were traced to the victim and also to Lee.Police also discovered that Lee had outstanding warrants from California for forgery, possession ofstolen property and a parole violation involving robbery. Reports also showed that Lee had priorconvictions for rape and indecent liberties. On Oct. 26, police staked out Lee's residence in the earlyevening. Officers spotted a man in the upper floor resembling the police composite drawing and theidentification photographs of Lee. The officers approached Lee and told him about the warrants fromCalifornia. When the police questioned Lee about the assault, he said he had been working all day andtherefore did not commit the crime, according to the affidavit As he was being questioned, he movedtoward the doorway, pulling a chair between officers and himself and ran for the door. Along the way,he knocked a shelf off the wall, causing items to fall in the path of the police pursuing him. Policetackled Lee as he made his way down the staircase to the ground floor. He was then transported to jail. Lee, a chimney sweep, had been living at the Grant Street address for about a month-and-a-half,according to reports from neighbors. Bail is currently set at $15,000 based on the fugitive warrant fromCalifornia. Police are still trying to locate the young woman who was seen walking north on HumboldtStreet and heading west on Carolina Street either with the man or in front of him. The woman isdescribed as white, about 18 to 22-years-old, fair skinned and very attractive, with long blond hair to themiddle of her back. She was wearing powder blue shorts and a white top with a light colored V-necksweater. Police are requesting that anyone with information about this woman to call Detective McNeil at 676-6923 or 9-1-1. Solar Continued from pg. 1 hi July, the Viking XX placed second in the 1,625 mileSunrayce USA, which ran from Florida to Michigan. High winds buffeted the large profile of the solarcollector, making steering, at times, virtually impossible. Modifications were made after the SunrayceUSA to correct the problem—. Seal said, "By yawing, the ear—adjusting the wheel alignment — wecan use the wind to our advantage." The team is going into the race on the heels of three setbacks. Inearly October principal sponsor J. Ward Phillips andstudentteam-captain . Bill Lingenfelter pulled out.Then, on Oct 11, the car's primary motor had to be replaced. Phillips andLingenfelterleftthe team after adispute involving Seal's introduction of a written contract of rules, which gave Seal final say in alldecisions. The contract included three major rules — no drinking of alcoholic beverages during therace, wearing the proper team uniform at all times and allowing Seal the final "The last word I heard fromAustralia was if it doesn't blow too hard, we're the favorite." — Michael Seal, director of Western'sVehicle Research Institute authority over all race decisions. . The last of these rules seemed the majorsticking point for Phillips, who had invested more than $150,000 in the project, and Lingenfelter, who, asteam-captain, was one of the originators of the solar car idea. Lingenfelterwill be accompanying the team to Australia but will not participate as a team member. At the time of the shake-up, Eileen Seal, Seal'swife and administrative supporter for the team, said her husband implemented the rules because h e felt it was important'to haVe-achaiii' of cofflmahd'iri a race Where the team was: competing against suchinternational industrial giants as Honda Research and Development Co.

Cyndy Wright, coordinator ofStudent Services at the International English Language Institute (IELI), said, "This is all about culture and learning about people." Western coordinates two cycles of Japanese sophomores a year from AsiaUniversity in Tokyo. Those students presently on campus arrived at the beginning of fall quarter and willstay until mid-February. Many are majoring in law, business administration, economics or internationalrelations. The second group, arriving in mid-February^ are international relations majors staying throughspring and summer quarter, 69 students are expected. The American study program is a re- . quirementfor the second group's graduation from Asia University. Usually, the first group tends fo be moremotivated and show more initiative, Wright said.

Li 1988, the program expanded the cultural experience to the present arrangement. Students participating in the program are enrolled in classes of conversational English, U.S. history,literature and human environment. Accreditation is only received from Asia University. Most Japanesestudents receive six years of English language instruction before graduating high school. Students atAsia University take one year of conversational English before coming to Western. About 40 American conversational language instructors work at Asia University. "It's not easy for them," Wright said. "Theyhave to study hard." Wright said Japanese schools are extremely competitive at the high school level but taper off the work load at the university level. Less than 10 percent of the graduating high school classis accepted into college.

"Americans think when people can't speak English they're stupid. It's a frustrating point," Wright said. "These guys are the cream of the crop just to get into Asia University,"she said. Yutaka Fujii, an Asia University student studying here said, "We see English for our future.We want to use mis experience." When asked about their impressions of America, many respondedpolitely and positively. However, a certain cultural alienation seemed to prevail. Some said it was tooeasy to revert back to Japanese when around their roommates. One student, with a puzzled look, said,"Americans think as they act." Many thought the kick-off dance at Red Square was "exciting."Somebody quipped, "We like American food but we don't like SAGA food." SAGA is the old name forresidential dining halls.

They are divided into groups of 10, each havingan American adviser. Sophomore Julie . Nordlund, an English as a second language major, is on hersecond term as an adviser. She said, "Iloveit,"then laughed and, added, "It's almost like a test of mypersonality everyday." Wright said that it was her preference, as well as Asia University's, to have allthe students live with American roommates. She said Western's administration felt American students were, themselves, often trying to adjust to the rigors of a new life and schedule. They said thelanguage, the cultural differences and the length of the Japanese visit would not make for a goodroommate arrangement AUAP is looking for Western students who would like to be employed asInternational Living Group Advisers from Mar. 31 through Aug. 29,1991.

Western works for you By Mike Clynch staff reporter Student EmploymentServices, in Old Main 260, has just worked its way through their busiest time of year — trying to findemployment and work experience for many Western students. Last year, Western provided 4,800 joblistings for students. Approximately half were on-campus and the others were in the community. Ofthese, nearly 900 were work-study. Fred Ondeck, coordinator of Job Location and Employment, said hisoffice "attempts to be a centralized source for students who need part-time, temporary or seasonalemployment, or are interested in volunteer or community experience." The office provides reader-boards for volunteer jobs and general employment. "Because werun an open job board, we don't alwayshave a way of actually tracking (results). It's difficult to know if it was a Western student (who was hiredfor the position)," Ondeck said. Also, employers don't always call back the office once they hire astudent He estimated Western students fill 70 to 80 percent of the listings. After the initial rush of theyear, it is easier to remain updated. General employment is varied. Program Assistant Mary Murray,who has been working in the employment office for eight years said, "(Job opportunities) run the gamut from yard-work to an assistant for an attorney ."Thereader bo ardmaintains a section for new listings that arrive daily. The average on-campus wage is $5. Off-campus is $5.80. Murray said some unusual jobshave crossed the reader boards. A Japanese film crew hired students for summer work in Japan. Another company hired student photographers to picture wildlife in Africa. Volunteer jobs range from crisisintervention to conservation. "People take these/'Murray said, because "they want to become a part oftheir community or just give something back." She added, "It's good work experience, and they can seeif they like working in that sort of setting." While the Student Employment Services is set-up to be self-service, Ondeck said, "the staff are more than happy to talk to students. We try to be user-friendly."Our job is jobs,"Murray added. ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 7 ---------- November 6,1990 Old growth protest in Blaine features The Western Front 7 See Inside: The protestand'Mind Flings' ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Western Front November 6,1990 HlifSis j||^p|im|i|||^|i Eve/preen State College sUJdent, LaraMurray, passed out leaflets during Sunday's protest at the border. li^Witt^BIBlHllBBlBllilHiiwiIHSiilBiiHiliiiHlplfiiilW ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ people and government ofBritish ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Ililrti^i^MiSiiftiiiiiiiwI IISiiBBBISBiSiBiilBi cuttinginwhalis consideredthelargest Bi^lS^BiiiliiR^WiilSiBl BSilili(BHI^BiBi|^^Bj "We need some direct action.

By Hamld Nazemi Special to the Front In myearlier article, in the Oct. 30 issue of the Front, I mentioned that many foreigners have an "approach-avoidance" relationship with the United States, especially as it relates to U.S. Foreign policy. In addition, I tried to point out that, although, there were cultural differences between Westerners and MiddleEasterners, they do not fully explain the present crisis in the Persian Gulf. So what is it that impels somany foreigners abroad and within the United States to adopt such an anti- American posture? Forexample, it is interesting to note that anti-American sentiment is on the rise across various countriesand continents, all having a unique cultural orientation. Itis present from Far East Asian countries tothose in South America. Can it be claimed that in all of these cases a "cultural gap" exists, and thatthis is the source of those peoples' dissatisfactions with U.S. foreignpolicy ? I think not! Obviously, there are cultural differences, but these arevariablesof secondary importance. For example, the "Cold War"didn't come about because of cultural differences between the East and West, but came aboutbecause of varying political objectives and orientations. Both sides displayed great intransigence andlacked the "political well" to overcome differences. Once Gorbachev came to power, various factors(none of which were cultural) forced him to make conciliatory gestures toward the West At this point,he showed that he did have the "political well" to move ahead, despite of existing cultural differences. In light of this, it can't be claimed that the current crisis in the Gulf is in any way a result of culturaldifferences. David Ziegler, a political science professor at Western, is correct in asserting thatfriendliness and hospitality are central to the Arab mind-set. He is also correct in saying that hostage-taking contradicts Arab values and morals. However, ruthless killing of Palestinians by the Israeligovernment is viewed with even greater enmity and frustration in Arab history and should have beenmentioned in the article. Why is it that the United S tates deploy s hundreds of thousands of its troops to defend against Iraqi aggression, but looks the other way when it comes to the basic human rights of the Palestinians? The fact of the matter is, lasting peace in the Middle East will remain elusive, unlessfundamental changes occur in the status quo. It is imperative that Israel recognize and deal with theplight of the Palestinians. This will happen only when the United States exerts pressure on Israel andmakes a clear demand that things change. The United States, unlike other nations, is in the uniqueposition of taking an active role in promoting human rights and a sense of fair play abroad. Unfortunately, the history of the United States has been marred by direct or indirect interference in the internal affairsof other nations. At times, this has led to the violent overthrow of numerous legitimate but independent-minded governments. For example, in 1953, the CIA was instrumental in the overthrow of Dr. Mossadeq— the prime minister of Iran at the time. Dr. Mossadeq worked to free Iran of foreign domination and tobring about an Iran based on anti-militarism and constitutionalism. His overthrow was coordinated by Mr. Roosevelt (nephew to FDR) and through the U.S. embassy compound in Tehran. The forced andillegitimate return of the Shah meant that some 26 years later, Iran' s revolution would be a purelyIslamic Revolution with an acutely "anti-American flavor! Having in mind that the overthrow of Dr. ,7WANTED: A BIG BROTHER Seventy 'Utiles'in Whatcom County need some 'Big'help Many men enjoybeing a Big Brother — not only because it's fun — but also because it's an opportunity to snare skillsand experiences with a boy.

Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Whatcom County 671-3793 or 384-1883 Mossadeq had been orchestrated through the U.S. embassycompound , revolutionaries stormed mat embassy in 1979 to prevent a repetition of history. This is not to defend hostage taking—it is merely to point out that were it not for the U.S. government's own doingsome 26 years earlier, this unfortunate incident wouldneverhave occurred. As another example, whenIran was defending itself against Iraqi aggression in the Iran-Iraq war, the United States gave fairlyextensive support to the government of Saddam Hussein. This was done by providing him withintelligence information about Iranian troop movements, by ignoring the use of chemical weapons against Iranian and Kurdish civilians and by ensuring Iraq's economic survival as exemplified in the re-flagging ofKuwaiti tankers. Saddam Hussein was never declared a Hitler and it was only his move on Kuwait thatprompted PresidentBush to draw comparison between the two despots. In response to Iraqi air attackson internationally owned and registered oil tankers destined for Iranian oil terminals, Iran proclaimed thateither the Persian Gulf would have to be "safe for all or safe for none" — it started mining internationalwaters in the Persian Gulf. Many congressmen and senators at the time, warned Iran that "people inglass houses shouldn't be throwing stones." It seems to me, they should have been asking themselves,"Why is it that people living in glass houses are throwing stones?" After all, if others are given a freehand at stoning you, it makes sense to throw a few stones of your own. Finally, it was especially ironicfor the U .S. government to have taken such amoral stance on the issue.

As wellas winning the district championship, the Vikings also received top individual awards at the tournament. Coach Chris Hartman was selected Coach of the Year, Lorrie Post was awarded Most Valuable Playerand she and Kim Kolody were selected for the all-tournament team. It took Western only 40 minutes inthe final match to crush the Central Wildcats in two straight games, 15-9,15- 4. In game one. Westernquickly jumped on top with a 4-0 lead before Central had a chance to get a point on the board. Withcomplete control of the game, Western then leaped ahead 8-1 with all-around excellent playing by AprilLindsey. However, Central rallied back to pull within one point, 10-9. Key blocks by Denise Dodgeandeffectivepassing by setter Kim Kolody kept the Wildcats' scoreless as the Vikings pulled ahead, 14-9. Central assistant coach Drew Terry protested a call and was given a red and a yellow cardsimultaneously, Hartman said. This call awarded the Vikings one point and gave them the win in gameone. "They (the Vikings) wanted it and knew what it takes to get it," Hartman said. "We came into thisgame a lot more relaxed and got the ball to Kim (Kolody), who effectively varied our offense." Thingsbegan heating up in game two as intense playing was shown from both sides of the net Westerndisplayed all-around superb playing as it asserted its dominance, jumping out to a 10-3 lead. Post scored four straight points and JoAnn Luchina served an ace for the final point which gave the Vikings theDistrict Crown. "It was a team effort," Lindsey said. "All 12 players contributed. We couldn'thave done itwithout eachplayer." "The momentum was with us the whole time," Hartman said. "Our passing wasphenomenal, almost errorless, and Lorrie was unstoppable." "If we play like we did tonight, nobody isgonna beat us," Post said. The Vikings advanced to the final match by defeating Seattle Pacific Fridaynight in three tense games, 15-8,8- 15,15-13. "JoAnn (Luchino) gets credit for winning game one forus,"Hartman said. "She took their momentum away with some great digs." Despite powerful kills by Post and Lindsey, the Vikings fell to the Falcons pressure in game two. The Falcons continued to press hardon the Vikings, jumping out to a 8-1 lead in game three. The Vikings pulled together and rallied back from the seven-point deficit as the momentum switched to the Western side. The Vikings cut the deficit to 13-10 before scoring the five final points. "We never quit," Hartman said. "We just slowly dug ourselves outof the trenches to come ahead and win." The win over the Falcons advanced Western into the secondround of play in the winners bracket, where they defeated Central. Despite losing game one and starterKim Wells, who partially tore ligaments in her ankle, the Vikings brought it together in game two. Strong,well-placed kills by Post and excellent blocks by Tamara Locke helped Western maintain its lead ingame two. "After losing Kim (Wells), the rest of the team pulled their socks up and were ready to play,"Hartman said. Li the final game of the match, the Vikings* defense continually squashed Central'scomeback attempts. The Vikings defeated Central 15-9. The tournament win earned the Vikings thedistrict title and the chance to play for a berth in. the national tournament in Laie, Hawaii.

WestemwillfaceWamerPacific College, in a game that will be played atViking Field Nov. 10. Warner Pacific beat George Fox College 4-0 to win the District 2 title and theopportunity to play Western for a chance to advance to the national tournament in Boca Raton, Fla. TheVikings repeated as District 1 champions with a record of 14-5-0. Prior to Western's title last season, the Clansmen had taken the district title 14 consecutive years, including three national championships.Senior forward Peter LaBarge said, "Last year everyone thought it was a fluke. We beat them up there on a last minute goal to advance to the playoffs. Even at nationals, people were saying, 'Where'sSimonFraser?' This year we've beaten them three times, I think we deserve it." * Saturday's game wasplayed in a mudhole, which made for poor footing and some sloppy play. Western kept play in SFU'send of the field for most of the first half, capitalizing for the first goal in the last minute of play. ForwardJim Bialek was taken down in the box by Jeff Leitch which resulted in apenalty kick. Simon Frasergoalie Gerry Wheaton argued the call and was given a yellow card. The . referee finally cut Wheaton offand stopped the clock with seven seconds left in the half. In the semifinal game against PacificLutheran University on Oct. . 31, this same ref allowed regulation time to run out without letting West-em take an indirect free kick. District 1 Player of the Year, Peter LaBarge nailed the ball with authority forthe only tally of the first half. Wheaton continued his verbal onslaught and said the magic word whichresulted in a red card. The Clansmen had to play one man down and bring in reserve keeper, GarySkelton, for the second half. Western nearly capitalized on the one-man advantage when Cliff Potterstole a ball meant for Skelton, but he couldn't get a shot off because he was forced to go wide of the netSimon Fraser had their chances to tie the game. Geoff D'Auria had an open shot after a short comerkick, but he decided to pass instead and the Clansmen came away empty. Western finally put the game away at the 6:05 mark when Peter LaBarge took a pass from Jason Woodward and dribbled in to beatthe goalie to the near post "I knew one goal wouldn't hold up. The defense really came through, it'sscary with only goal," LaBarge said. "I knew one more would put confidence in us." Western will nowhost Warner Pacific, who beat the Vikings 1-0 in the last game of the regular season. In that game,Western was not told of a field change and didn' t show up to the new site until 20 minutes after thegame was to have started. Head coach Kevin Quinn said the new field had a baseball diamond on itthegoals were too small and it was notup to collegiate standards. He also said the team wasn't up for thatgame. Saturday's game should be different Quinn said, "I think we're a better team than they are.They're good enough to be reckoned with, but we can field a better team." In addition to LaBarge winning the Player of the Year award, four other Vikings were named to the all-district team. Forwards DennisLapchis and Cliff Potter made the second team, as did midfielder Tom Venable and defender SteveStarcevich.. Vikings lose to Loggers By Matthew W. Campbell staff reporter For the first time thisseason, the Western football team broke out of a streak that has been bothering them all year long. The streak characterized by the Vikings involves losing one game, then winning one. Until lastSaturday'sgame, more than one win or one loss in a row hadn't occurred. Unfortunately for Western, the streak isover as a second loss in a row was given to them at the hands of the University of Puget Sound Loggersby the score of 22-13. Saturday's loss to UPS drops the Viking's overall record to 3-5 and its leaguerecord to 1-4. Turnovers and a sputtering offense by the Vikings allowed PLU to raise its league record to three wins and two losses. The Vikings led 7-3 late in the third quarter, but the Loggers went on toscore 19 straightpoints. The Viking, defense kept the game close until late in the contest Twice theVikings had the ball deep in Logger territory, but came away empty handed both times.

Unfortunately, the two-time defending NAIA national champions,the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes, were playing just a little bit better. The Lutes managed to score five second-half goals, clinching the district semi-final match by the score of 6-0. The Lutes, with a 15-2-1 overall record, dominated much of the game, forcing the ball to the Viking half of the field and outshooting Western 19- 6. The Vikings finished the season with a record of 8-8-1. Lute forward Wendy Johnson, MVP of the 1989national tournament, scored four goals in the game.

First of all, we want you to know the mystery is solved. When the world ends, it won't be because of nuclear holocaust, or germ warfare or even thedecline of personal morals. Noway. When the ceiling falls in, it'll be because of farts. That's right —farts. The Foundation on Economic Trends thinks that flatulent sheep, cattle and buffalo are contributingto global warming. They say livestock may be producing up to 15 percent of atmospheric methane bybreaking wind. Don't mink they're not serious. They've filed a lawsuit against the Federal Agriculture,Interior and Energy departments for failing to measure how many bestial air biscuits are being pumpedinto the ozone. What we want to know is how you'd measure something like that And more importantly,what exactly does the Foundation propose they do if indeed there is a serious gas leak? Some thingsjust can't be stopped. We're dealing with a force greater than ourselves. One woul^y^nk that withthe.current''battle for oil in the Middle past, people rfiight attempt"to bottle their energies and figure outsome productive use for this farm-like flatulation. C'moh... what good are lawsuits going to do? What thereal ques- • tion here is, can we run our automobiles off this gas? How about the prospect of bringingoF Bessie in to furnish the energy needed to heat your home? Maybe the Foundation's got a point. At the very least, cattle should learn manners. They really don't care. They just let it fly. It doesn't matter who's around to hear... or smell. Nobody needs that kind of olfactory overload.

Referendum sets dangerous precedent I By Mike Clynch staffreporter n a 4-3 vote, last year's AS Board of Directors decided to remove Penthouse, Playgirl, andPlayboy magazines from the AS bookstore. It is one of the most idiotic, railroaded pieces of Westernlegislation to date. It stands as a monument to small minds, a questionable political process, and serves to limit the free exchange of ideas, information and opinion. A referendum has been scheduled for this quarter to find out what preferences Western students may have concerning this action. There are twomain issues here. First, what is the definition of obscenity, and do these banned magazines fall into thiscategory? Second, what are the limits of the authority of student government to dictate their moralpreferences over the rest of the student body? The U.S. Supreme court declared in 1957 that obscenity is not protected under the First Amendment. That was the easy part Since then, there's been a lot ofdebate over the definition of obscenity. The courts now use a three-fold litmus test for determination. It is: 1. Whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards would find that thematerial, taken as a whole, appeals to prurient interests. 2. Whether the works depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by state laws. 3. Whether the work, takenas whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific work. Playboy, Playgirl, and Penthousehave not been declared to be obscene and are protected by the First Amendment The AS Board didnot make a decision to ban an obscene publication, they made a moral decision to ban a magazine thatthe majority of the board did not like. The obvious point created by the precedent is what else might afuture board not like. A scan of the bookstore shelves show a display of Mad, Cracked, NationalLampoon, and the Bikini Girls Calender. Do these face campus banishment too? I don't doubt thatsome people will find any magazine offensive, but in the great pool of ideas and opinion this can. rarelybe avoided. The idea of free speech is to encourage debate and rests strongly on the presumption that itis the individual who is best suited to make their own moral choices. Any attempt to enforce moralityshould be viewed skeptically. The road to censorship and bans is seldom clearly marked. It starts as ahazy track and ends as a four-lane interstate. One of the most well-known figures of 20th century wrote: "Theater, art, literature, cinema, press posters and window displays must be cleaned of allmanifestations of our rotting world ... Public life must be freed from the stifling perfume of our moderneroticism ... The right of personal freedoms recedes before the duty to preserve the race." The authorwas Adolf Hitler. Last year's AS Board (and quite possibly this year's too) maintained the opinion thatbecause the AS bookstore is a student cooperative, they, as our elected representatives, had the rightto make managerial decisions of what, and what not to sell. I find this appropriate for economic, notmoral, decisions. The magazines removed were making money so the decision was not economic. Ibelieve last year's board decision, was strongly influenced by two guest speakers. The first was NikkiCraft, a women's rights activist Li a separate incident last year, she and others donned ski masks andphotographed male customers patronizing "Great Northern Books," a Bellingham adult bookstore. Theypublished these photographs in a leaflet titled "Porn User of the Week." The second speaker was Lucy Colvin, who after recovering from bulimia, attributed her eating disorder to pornography. When Iquestioned the AS Board Adviser, Jack Smith, he said the two speakers gave their presentations fromchairs placed in front of the board. Smith said he felt that this positioning was of little consequence. Idisagree. There is an implication of higher authority in this seating arrangement As the purpose of theopen meeting was to persuade the AS Board to vote one way or the other, the positioning separated theactivists from the crowd and may have been instrumental in the persuasion process. Let's remember thatthe vote was 4-3. The only other speaker receiving this privilege was one other (opinion unknown) whocould not be heard from the rear of the room. If speakers are allowed to address the issue in this manner, impartiality by the board would seem to dictate that a representative expressing an opposing viewpointenjoy the same privilege. A speaker from the American Civil Liberties Union would have been appropriate. Playboy, Playgirl and Penthouse magazines have been banned from die AS Bookstore since last Spring quarter. Now we need a referendum with a 65 percent mandate to bring them back. This seems a quaintform of reverse logic. Surely, it would be more reasonable to require the referendum have a 65 percentmandate to take them off the shelves in the first place. If this were the process, we wouldn't have tospend valuable time reclaiming the freedom that a few morality crusaders managed to bilk us out of in the first place. ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 15 ---------- November 6,1990 The Western Front 15 LETTERS Initiative gives • beauty a chance -—"OearESitOT, Weyerhauser, Boeing, the National Association of Realtors and their allies are countingon you this Tues- * day — counting on your failure to show up at the voting booth.

He gave us earrings on credit (coolearrings at that), kept his prices low, and told wonderful, philosophic stories. He's owned a disco, sold art throughout the country, and lived at peace. And now, like Christ, he was taken from the people and,also like Christ, he returned to lighten us once again. Earring Man is an important part of our lives hereat Western. He reminds us that in this yuppie, money-crazed society there are still honest, caringindividuals that can make a great earring at a low price.

It seems thatthe U.S. government is against invasion, unless it is doing the invading. Because of the limited space, much has remained unsaid. However, my hope is that future articles will offer more substance in termsof discussing relevant issues. I agree with the main thrust of the article that prompted me into writingmis response. However, invalid examples do little to enhance mutual understanding, especiallywhen mentioned against a backdrop of dearth of pertinent discussion and information. One must becareful not to allow obvious cultural differences to work towards justification of "bad foreign policy." AsJesse Jackson said a couple of months ago, "Saddam Hussein is the wrong man with the rightmessage!" Ignore the man, but if you, or more specifically, yourgovernmentignores his message, therewill be others who will champion the Arab cause.

Ayers staff reporter More than 500 people packed the Viking Union lounge Wednesday to hear Cesar Chavez, president of the Union Farm Workers lt; of America, call for support of a boycott of Californiagrapes. "We ask you to join with us in public action," Chavez told the enthusiastic crowd. "We ask youto boycott grapes ... in fact, we ask you to boycott anything that looks like a grape." The standing-room-only crowd gave Chavez two standing ovations as he spoke about the problems facing farm workers.Chavez said the worst of these problems is caused by the use of pesticides which he said led to thedevelopment of population "cancer clusters" — areas in rural California showing an alarmingly high rateof cancer victims. He said in McFarland, Calif., with a population of around 6,000, the cancer rate forchildren is 800 percent greater than the national average, and another farming town just miles to the north has a rate 1200 percent higher than the national average. "In these cancer clusters there is the highestrate of birth defects anywhere in the nation," Chavez said. Chavez, founder of the UFW and a well known activist for more than 20 years, said the main focus of the union's boycott are the pesticides he blamesfor these problems. "In 1965 the growers said they couldn't hope to raise one single grape withoutpesticides," he said. But, following a grape boycott, in which 17.5 million Americans joined, the growerscame to the negotiating table and the pesticide DDT was eventually prohibited from agricultural use.Now, Chavez said, new pesticides have replaced the old, and the conditions are no better. "Pesticidesare poisons — their only Cesar Chavez talks with students after purpose to kill living things. And weknow we are all living things," he said. "The debate always comes around to risks and benefits ... weneed to take risks as a population to benefit the polluters, that's what they are really saying." Chavezsaid public action was the only way to change the conditions for farm workers. "We don't have the votesto pass meaningful legislation in this state or in any state... We can't do it through public policy giving alecture in the VU lounge this (so) instead we offer public action. We need to bypass legislators and godirectly to the marketplace." ,. In a press cpnference prior to his speech, Chavez said the current grapeboycott, which started in 1988, was about to move into its third — and most important — stage. "In the third stage, the picketing starts ... the real controversial part," he said. Chavez said the earlier stages,which consisted of getting endorsements from religious and civic groups, and the current week ^'e rAnderson/The Western Front consumer boycott have given the farmers a solid base of support — around 12 million people; He said the union estimated they would need 18 million Americans to stop eatinggrapes in order to force the growers to negotiate. Chavez told the crowd they could make a difference,even at Western. "You can help us by not eating grapes, you can go to your food service and ask themto remove grapes ... on their (farm workers) behalf we ask you to do your part." Charges of anti-Semitism brought against Goller By Noelle Kompkoff campus government editor In a letter submitted toAssociated Students President Mark Aaserud Tuesday, a Veteran's Outreach Center member hascharged Vice President of External Affairs Chad Goller with anti-Semitism. With the opening remark, "(I)believe that anti-Semitism is alive and well at WWU," VOC member Shaun Bridge contends Goller made several racist statements about Jews during a discussion in the VOC last January — about the timeSaddam Hussein bombed Israel with SCUD missiles. Bridge alleges Goller told him, "all Jews are eviland they must die," in front of other VOC members Tim Osterholm, Mark Monroe, Dave Fuller, ChristinaRustvold and Mark Carlsen. "I was offended by these charges," Goller said. "I deny saying these quotes, and I deny the anti-Semitic charges." Bridge also stated Goller claimed to be an expert on Jewishculture because he said he had lived in Israel and attended Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Bridge saidGoller justified his statements by saying, "Jews... own... the slums in New York," and that a very credible professor in Canada "has documented and done research proving the Holocaust never happened."Bridge said he didnotmention the fact that he is Jewish to Goller at the time of the incident. "I did notsay, nor insinuate (that Jews are evil)," wrote Goller in a letter to Bridge. Goller said in the letter thatBridge must have misunderstood what he had said about conflicts be- Shaun Bridge tween blacktenants and their Jewish landlords, as well as misunderstanding what he said about a professor, whomGoller said taught the theory that white men are superior to blacks. "If you misunderstood anything I said, I offer you my sincere apologies.," Goller said in his letter to Bridge. "When we let misunderstandings go undiscussed, they become bigger misunderstandings. I am afraid that is what this has turned into."Monroe verified some of Bridges allegations. "At the time (Goller made his remarks) I was using thecomputer and there was a heated conversation between (Goller and Bridge) about Jews in general,"Monroe said. "Right before Chad left, I remember him saying the key words, 'They are evil and they mustdie.' Chad Goller I remember them (the words) because they were so harsh." Speaking as actingcoordinator for the VOC, Monroe stated a position of neutrality for the center. "We are not involved in theconflict," he said. Goller, who left Wednesday morning for a conference in Kansas City on racism, saidhe was "very surprised" when he heard about the allegations. "It's a very interesting form of retaliation,"Goller said, referring to the events surrounding VOC Coordinator Tim Osterholm's resignation last week.Osterholm resigned after Goller told him he was going to be held accountable for racial graffiti found on acalendar in the VOC See CHARGES on page 3 ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front NEWS April 12,1991 Briefs Clean up Squalicum Beach As part of the Earth Month Campaign this April, the Associated Students Environmental Center is sponsoring a cleanup ofSqualicum Beach April 14.

Credit card applicants tobenefit Western Foundation scholarships By Mike Clynch staff reporter Within the next two or threeweeks Western students should be receiving applications for a special VISA credit card that will helpfinance scholarships and projects, Lance Olsen, AS treasurer/ secretary, said. The credit cards arethe brainchild of Olsen, who heads the Not For Profit Board responsible for initiating the idea. The board,which is comprised of the AS Board of Directors, negotiated with MBNA America Bank, a nationalbank based in Delaware, and Trans National Group Services to provide a mailing list of Western students in exchange for financial compensation. VISA will pay the Western Foundation $1 for every newaccount, 15 cents for every transaction, and S3 each time the card is renewed. Olsen estimates thatafter two years, $25,000 will be earned per year. The funds will be used for scholarships and specialprojects. The credit card currently has a 19.8 percent interest rate. Olsen said this was close to theaverage rate for most cards. A condition the board set for providing student mailing lists to VISA is thatthe list may not be released to any other businesses, to ensure that students aren't besieged byfloods of junk mail from other companies. A letter drafted by Olsen will accompany the credit cardapplication. Olsen said his letter will explain the board's position on this issue and the benefits availableto Western. Western will assume no liability for the cards. Credit histories and other financial criteria will be used to judge the acceptability of each application. Susan Durkee, a counselor for ConsumerCredit Counselling Service of Seattle which has a branch office in Student Credit Card applications. TylerAnderson/The Western Front downtownBellingham, said she didn't see a big problem with the cards.Durkee said she typically counsels only two students a month who have run up their credit card andcan't afford to pay the bill. She also said that she thought it may be better to learn how to deal withcredit in school rather than in the work force. The number of undergraduates, with creditcardsincreased37 percent from 1988 to 1990, according to Collegetrack, a marketing research and consultingfirm in Manhatten. Credit News, a trade magazine, estimates the number of college students owningcredit cards to be 3.9 million. This is about 70 percent of the total students enrolled in four-yearcolleges. The NotForProfitboard estimates 1,000 to 1,500 cards will be issued to Western studentsduring the first year. The Times said typical student credit limits are about $500. VISA, unlike AmericanExpress, does not require the bill to be paid in full every month. Charges can be paid off in installmentswith interest as long as a minimum charge is paid each month. Benefit dance raises money for burnvictim by Julie Davisson staff reporter More than 400 people attended the benefit dance Saturday forWestern studentPete Albert, 23, who wasbadly burned in the Jan. 2 fire at Bellingham's ML BakerApartments. Kim Owner , a close friend of Albert's died in the fire. The benefit was organized" by the Rugby Club in order to raise money to help Albert cover his medical Pete Albert and costs, whichare expected to be at least $500,000—insurance will only cover $300,000 worth of those bills. EmmettKerns, a rugby player and one of the organizers of the event, said the $4 cover charge and beer gardenproduced enough capital to sufficiently cover the costs of the event. Kerns estimates the proceeds totalapproximately $400. Kerns, a longtime friend of Albert's, said the dance was a success and everyoneseemed to have a good time. Captain Dick and the Portholes provided the music, and Kerns said theymade sure the audience knew about the cause. "It was fun for him (Albert) to see people and get out ofthe hospital for a while," Kerns said. "Pete said he had a real good time." At about 11 p.m., the RugbyClub presented Albert with a jersey printed with the number 11. Eleven was Albert's number when he played football at community college. Albert has been in S e a t t l e ' s Kim Owner HarborviewHospital since the day of the fire and was moved to the rehabilitation unit about three weeks ago. Kerns saidAlbert should be released from the hospital in about a week. Albert will need to stay close to the hospital for therapy, but he plans on returning to Western in the fall to finish a degree in environmental policy.Kerns said Albert loved playing rugby and hopes to play again someday. "I see no reason why hecan't," Kerns said.

"I couldn't live withmyself knowing my taxes were going to buy bombs that are killing people in El Salvador and Iraq," saidKerkvliet, a member of Bellingham's War Tax Redirection Campaign. Kerkvliet, joined by others whowant to influence where their taxes go, is manning an Alternative Revenue Service booth outside theFederal Building until April 15. A Tax Day rally on April 15 at the Federal Building will feature localspeakers, such as Western Professor Maury Foisy and Juan Oriz, director of the Commission ofHispanic and Ethnic Relations. The Alternative Revenue Service is a project of the War Resister' sLeague, a national organization that provides alternative tax forms for people who don't want their taxmoney going to the military. "I think people perceive they have no control whatsoever over their taxes,"campaign member Steve Wilson said as he explained why so few Americans question how their taxes are spent. According to pamphlets distributed by the War Resisters League, 61 percent of the federal government's 1990 budget was spent on past and present military expenses. For members of thecampaign, providing the funds for military build-up and intervention violates a deeply-heldcommitment to oppose war. "I identify myself as a conscien- IS THIS HOW YOUR TAX DOLLARSSHOULD BE SPENT? -fine 50.20 -4$ M 1,60 2.80 is100 MILITARY EMPLOYMENT ENVIRONMENTHOUSING EDUCATION HEALTH CARE Northern California Common Agenda Coalition • AmericanFriends Service Committee tious objector to military service and paying for military services," Wilsonsaid. Tom Clark, a member of Bellingham Citizens for Peace in the Middle East, has chosen to withhold the federal excise tax on his monthly phone bills in order to protest that such a small percentage offederal money is allocated to human resources, such as welfare and student grants. Both Wilson andKerkvliet said most reasons given for tax resistance are part .of complex moral and spiritual beliefs.Tax resistance is not a way of avoiding taxes, but a way to tell the federal government spendingpriorities should be changed, Kervliet said. "We're not opposed to taxation, that's essential," Wilsonsaid. "It's just our priorities are out of line." One passerby said, "Once they (the IRS) have it (my taxes)in hand, it's out of my control." However, campaigning members said many options are available totaxpayers with varying degrees of risk. The simplest way to show disapproval of government spendingpriorities is to refuse to pay the federal phone tax. The excise tax on all local and long-distancecharges was instituted during the Vietnam War in order to help pay the war's rising costs, and isstill generating S3 billion a year for military spending, Kerkvliet said. Withholding the tax simply requiresmailing a letter of explanation or one of the War Tax Redirection Campaign's special forms along with the bill to tell the phone company how much is being withheld and why. According to the campaign flier, noone has been charged with a criminal offence because of this action. Kerkvliet said he has withheld his phone tax for eight years without reprisal. Taxpayers can also choose to withhold a portion of theirincome tax and include with the IRS form the EZ Peace form distributed by the War Resister's League.The EZ Peace form looks like a 1040 form and allows taxpayers to place portions of their taxes underthe headings human resources; physical resources; environment, education and culture; Interna- .tional Conflict Resolution; and Justice. The amounts range from $1- S50. Individuals wanting to take a greater risk can withhold the military percentage of their taxes (61%) or withhold all of their federalincome tax. The War Tax Redirection Campaign will also be collecting signatures forf Senate bill689. The new "peace tax" bill would create a conscientious objector status for taxpayers, a reviewboard to screen tax objectors in the same way a draft board screens conscientious objectors tomilitary service, a federal peace tax fund and a national peace college, according to the NationalCampaign for a Peace Tax Fund brochure. Members of the War Tax Redistribution Campaign willpresent the Peace Tax bill petitions to Al Swift's office at 1:30 pm Friday. continued from page 1n^;:the::.OT^-6|winier:!quarter.- Goller said he wondered why Bridge waited so long before making acomplaint. "It's; interesting he (Bridge) didn't come talk to me about this," Goller said. "Why did he waitamonth and ahalf to bring this up?" Bridge said he didn't file his complaint sooner because shortly afterthe incident his father was severely injured in a coma for 36 days. Rustvold, listed in Bridge's letter as awitness to Goller's alleged remarks, said she heard Goller talking about Jews and the Palestinian issue. "I did hear the comment 'Jews are evil and they must be destroyed," Rustvold said. In a regularlyscheduled AS Board meeting Tuesday night, Aaserud said he hadn't looked into the issue enough tomake a coment. "These are very serious charges and I will be working with Chad on this," Aaserudsaid.

Sparrow's work was displayed as part of the "Elemental Clay" exhibit put onby WCC's Studio Potters' Program April 5-7. Pieces of functional ware by Gregg Downey and SandyRowe were also displayed. "It's kind of like psychic time travel," said Sparrow describing his creativeprocess as he stood beside one of his sculptures. "It's pretty much a subconscious activity. I try for apure sense of form and balance. Sometimes I get really focused in on a place, like Egypt or Africa.Other times it's more vague, like a fuzzy picture," Sparrow said. Sparrow's sculpture is unusual andstriking, making good use of natural colors and motifs. Sparrow said he draws on themes and imageswhich he believes make up a cross-cultural pool of myths and icons. "All mythologies share commonsymbols, use the same elements," Sparrow said. Myths and symbols serve as his inspiration, notartistic crutches, Sparrow said. "I don't believe in ripping off some other culture's symbology. I draw onall kinds of common themes." Animal imagery dominates Sparrow's art. "Mainly dogs and cats," hesaid with a laugh. "Nothing particularly exotic." Sparrow admits he was influenced byAmericanIndianreligious artifacts garnered during his travels inMexico, Guatemala and the AmericanSouthwest; Animals like the jaguar and coyote had particular significance. "That's what's great aboutart. It's a cheap way to travel. Through my sculpture, I can go anywhere in the world," he said. Sparrow,who is coordinator of the Studio Potters' Program, has been a potter for 18 years. He came from anartistic background, both his parents had careers in fine and commercial art. He said he spent some time as a production potter in San Francisco, spinning out pots and bowls for the public, but eventuallytiredof the dull routine and lack of creative freedom. "People become production potters because theythink they are escaping from the rat race," he said. "But after a while they discover it's just a differentkind of rat race." Now, Sparrow said, he does strictly the type of art he feels like doing. "Once itbecomes work, it loses its fun, its sense of spontaneity. A lot of people sell out, do the stuff that getsthe most money. I prefer enjoying what I do." Boulevard Park's Orca Gallery serves as the headquartersfor the Studio Potters Program, with its own kiln and work area, and the added bonus of the bay view.People can join the program through Whatcom Community College, whether they are serious potters orjust want to get their fingers in some wet clay.

Produced by TheatreFest '91 and sponsored by theBellingham Municipal Arts Commission, Peoria will openinMay attheWhatcomMuseum of History andArt. Produced and directed by Adam Ward, the creator of TheatreFest, Peoria is the examination ofmiddle class America, andits oftenhumorous struggle against boredom. "Everyone (in the play) wants to be special. They are all looking for the 'unique article.' The secret to being special is to decide that youare," Boynton said. Boynton said this is the theme he has derived from working on the play's production so far. Both Hahn, the other lead, and he play a complex, bizarre, yet realistic set of characters in theplay. In one scene, Klein has the characters speak what they are thinking, while recorded voice-oversrepresent actual conversation. Boynton, a 1981 graduate of theatre and dance, is one of the two leadactors in the play. His arrival back in Bellingham, a decade later, is with a great deal of change andpersonal growth. "I was being tumbled along by the Jason Haws/The Western Front Actress Jody Hahnand director Adam Ward look on as actor Ken Boynton strikes a pose inbetween interviews for "Peoria."winds of fate, I guess. I was trying to climb out of the ocean of art, only to be ripped back in by theundertow," Boynton said. Boynton said he explored his talents after graduating from Western as amusician in a rock band, song writer and as on-air commercial talent. He finally found his niche inacting through a production with the Mount Seattle Theatre Project and two productions with Seattle'sacclaimed Empty Space Theatre. Boynton has also appeared in two films, Lessie's Rainbow andStages. Hahn, the other lead in Peoria, is a 1990 theatre graduate. Since her graduation, Hahn said shehas played a role as "the little nun" in the Seattle Repertory Theatre's production House of Blue Leaves. Reflecting on her role in Peoria, Hahn said, "It (the play) is amazingly true... It's rare a piece of theatrecatches this much in a show that's not that long." Hahn was also at the Seattle Fringe-Fest in the playTrial By Jury, as well as in the New City Director's Festival production of Stop. Hahn said she has keptin close contact with other Western graduates through an independent film project. Hahn said Gee, thesilent black-and-white film she is working on, is written, directed and produced by alumni. Hahn saidshe met Ward, theplay's director, during the first TheatreFest in 1988. TheatreFest is perfect in thiscommunity which has a lot of college theatre, but not a lot within the community itself, Hahn said.Crane, a 1985 self-design Fairhaven graduate, is the designer and technical director for Peoria.. Cranesaid the self-design major in performing arts' design and production is a real asset when he is lookingfor employment. Crane said it proves that he is a self-motivated worker and thinker since he wrote hisown major. Crane said he built on his expertise as an intern at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. He alsoworked at the Bathhouse and Intiman Theatres in Seattle as a technician. Crane is now in his secondyear as the designer and technical director at Skagit Valley Community College's theatre department.For TheatreFest '91, Cranehas the taskof transforming the old city council chambers in the WhatcomMuseum, or what is now called the Rotunda Room, into a stage for the play. "The script calls for skewed spacing — strange angles which get you off balance," Crane said. He added that the set he hasplanned for the Rotunda Room is non-traditional in the theatrical sense. "Theatre people will be baffled,"Crane said. This may enhance the play's appeal toward a wide, diverse audience. "Peoria is not just atown, it's a state of mind," playwright Klein has said about the production. Tickets for the play, whichruns fromMay 16-19 and23-26, are $5 for students and senior citizens; S7.50 general admission; and $6for members of the Whatcom Museum and Allied Arts.

Jensen staff reporter "Two minutes to purgatory," spouts one of the Speedy O'Tubbs bartenders asshe passes by, only moments before the doors open to admit the impatient Saturday night crowd. TheCRAZY 8s are back again. Little more than a month after the band's last appearance here, the crowd isready for that special brand of music the 8s seem to covet for themselves. "It's hard to describe ourmusic," guitarist Mark Wanaka said while other members of the band struggled for a label. "It'scorrugated silk... it's natural polyester," the other band members finally said. "I think our music is unique because we blend so many different styles and come up with a sound that's like, sort of undefinable," Todd "Dookey" Duncan, lead vocalist and alto sax player said. Their music, in fact, does seem to defyany attempt to label it. Younever quite seem to know what will pop up next in their music. One minuteyou'11 hear hard-core, old-fashioned jazz, the next it's reggae or ska, and the next minute they'reblending funk, fusion, punk, or any number of styles. If the crowd waiting in the cool, lavishly and oddlydecorated dungeon called Speedy O'Tubbs can't figure out just what the CRAZY 8s play, they don'tseem to mind. Everyone is there for the pure enjoyment of the music. This is only the group's secondperformance with the new, full lineup of eight members, which includes new tenor sax player JayCollins and keyboard player Ron Regan. From the original nine members, the group had dropped toseven until recently. But once again, the band is the CRAZY 8s. The current line-up includes Duncan on lead vocals and alto saxophone, Wanaka playing guitar, Tim "Hot" Tubb blowing trombone and singingback-up vocals, Carl "The Truth" Smith playing percussion, Blackness on drums, Michael Regan onbass and the two new youngsters, Collins and Ron Regan. New or not, everyone definitely held their own on Saturday night . Impressive solos were laid down on various tunes by all members (Wow! Keep thenew guys.) It was quickly evident the audience was enjoying itself. The subdued bar transformed into arolling, jumping, sweating concert "pit." Even the guys playing pool in the back couldn't resist themusic. "Bellingham people seem to listen to the music as opposed to just coming to see the band,get drunk and get laid. When they 're here for the music, that's nice," Duncan said. Old stuff, new stuff,and a couple of interesting cover-tunes rounded out the three-hour-plus show. The band was relentless,making everyone dance until they could barely stand. People wandered home, complete with squishedtoes, dozens of bruises, and big, contented smiles on their faces. The CRAZY 8s, a nine-year-old bandout of Corvalis, Ore., are currently touring to promote their latest album, "Doggapotamus World" —their fifth album released from their own Red Rum Records (anybody get the joke?) "DoggapotamusWorld" Western Front file photo was the 8s' first studio project in more than three years."Doggapotamus World's" slow sales take-off has been a bit of a letdown for some band members.However, they are still expecting good things from it, Duncan said. "It's doing all right, but it's notdoing great. It's sort of disappointing because we think it's one of our most exciting deals we've recorded.Itmore clearly captures our energy on record," Wanaka said. "It was one of the most creative packageswe've ever done," Duncan added. Oneof the main reasons hindering the band's success, and its recordsales, is thehier archy and bureaucracy of the record business, Duncan said. Unsigned, as of yet, to amajor record label, the 8s handle everything themselves. "Wecan'tafford the machinery to push recordslike the big guys," Duncan said. "It's not such a great deal just getting signed. It's what happens after. Sometimes they just use you as a tax write-off," Wanaka added. Hard work and perseverance seem tobe paying off for the CRAZY 8s. "We've put out five of our own records, paid every bill ourselves, had fivenational tours, played with 25 international acts, and we are still making a living at it," Wanaka said. The CRAZY 8s plan to tour the Pacific Northwest for the rest of the spring and summer, and a larger,nationwide tour next fall. The 8s will possibly begin work on another studio project early next year.Watch for it. "Whatever we're doing, we're going to keep doing it," Duncan said.

Youthful Ridge Quartet performs at PAC By ArtHughes staff reporter The Ridge Quartet did not blaze into the first movement of Mozart's String Quartetin C Major, K. 157. A young, but obviously experienced group, they set a tone in the first bars of theallegro that delivered a musical warmth and charm ^throughout the performance. Instead of anydistracting attempts to display individual egos, these four musicians proved they are dedicated to theart of playing in a string quartet. They played the opening movement without overpowering oneanother and let the beautiful descending melody in the first violin shine through where it needed to.The Andante was a slower, more sombermovementwithlyricmelodies in all the voices. The theme returned frequently to a brief, understated arpeggio in the cello, showing Peter Wyrick's subtle restraint withinthe group and a mature ear for dynamic. "When I was younger I wanted to play fast and loud," Wyricksaid after the performance, "but playing well in a string quartet is something you come to when you aremore mature as a musician." Second on the program was Franz Joseph Haydn's String Quartet in CMinor, Op. 17, No. 4. The group made full use of every dynamic mark, passing musical phrases to one another with a care and ease that comes only after years of playing together. Violist Maria LambrosKannen said the quartet is good at the continual process of "tuning in" to one another, in practice and inperformance. "Before we go on stage, we know—alittle bit—what we're going to hear. Then we try tolisten to one another with fresh ears each time," Kannen said. Thehighlightoftheperformance was thethird movement of the second quartet by Mozart, the Quartet in G Major, K. 387. It exploited themusicians' ability to play as a single voice. Two or three of the players would lay down a rich,emotional bed of harmony, allowing the other players, in turn, to soar above or weave in and out. Theplayers would make eye contact with one another before ex- . changing the theme or continuing themelodies between themselves. It was easy to see and hear how personal and conversational this quartetcould be. The Ridge Quartet has won two major chamber music competitions. They were Quartet-in-Residence at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S. C, and they spent the summer at the Italian SpoletoFestival. In May of 1988 they became the youngest quartet to perform in Carnegie Hall. Wyrick saidhe doesn't despair that the word "young" is frequently mentioned before their name. "We're pretty young; our oldest member is 32. It just means we have so much repertoire ahead of us," Wyrick said. Theprogram Tuesday night stuck to the roots of the classical period, but presented some subtle surprise.Mozart's Quartet in C is an early quartet by the composer, written in Italy in 1772. It is often used as a practice piece, but rarely performed in concert by modern string quartets. Kannen said they decidedonMozart' s Quartet in C Major almost by whimsy. "We just thought it would be fun to work it upbecause it is passed over by so many other quartets," Kannen said. In addition to Kannen and Wyrick,the quartet includes Krista BennionFeeney andRobertRinehart, both on violin. To maintain a highstandard, the quartet only leams about 12 new pieces a year, and there is little available on recording.With a first-rate sound, however, and mature outlook on the future, more will surely be heard from theRidge Quartet "Everything is so fun," cellist Wyrick said, "and the thought of being together for thenext 20 years... is a real comfort." © © BACK TO THE FUTURE With Wayne's Texaco Service 734-8610 310LakewayDr. 734-8690 Syjtcm3 «jasoljnc The gasjhjgt;l[s_unsur£asscd^ f Engine Tune-UP"Y^I-iibe.

The final score, 7-2, brings the Viking's overall record to 8-2. Although it was wet and cold, theweather didn' t hinder the teams' performance. In the singles, victories came from freshman EliseRosenblum in theNo.3 match and freshman Brenda Swigart in the No .4 match. Both doubles matcheswere won instraightsets.withfreshmanMelinda Castonguay and junior Carin Clow in the No.l match andSwigart teamed with Rosenblum in the No.2 match. Coach Jo Ann Andrews said she feels this season's tennis team is strong and with District Championships quickly approaching, she hopes for good weather to work on the team's improvement. "My goal for the team is to have them win districts and thenadvance on to nationals," Andrews said. "I see areas for improvement in the strategy of matches playedand we (the team) work on these changes. Any big changes will need to be worked on this summer."I'm really excited about the tennis team," team member Karen Richert said. "Everyone is reallysupportive of it, and it looks really promising for us." In order to "keep everyone sharp with their game," a challenge system has been designed. Player line-up is determined by Andrews, based on the setsplayed by the players. If players wish to advance and change their seating, they may challenge otherplayers in the seats they want. If the challenged players lose, they drop one seat and the victoriousplayers advance. "Everyone has been challenging matches lately," Richert said. "Everyone isincredibly close and there have been changes." With many home matches coming up this month, thetennis team is looking for support from Western students. "I didn't expect many spectators to be at thematch because of the weather, but as the team continues to win, hopefully more people will show up,"Andrews said. Kevin Bryant named director of marketing and promotions By Clayton Wright staffreporter Kevin Bryant was named Director of Marketing and Promotions for the Athletic DepartmentalWestern, a position which did not exist prior to its announcement March 25. The position was created to help supplement funding for the athletic department, which is partially subsidized by the state.Bryant, 32, will be in charge of creating a market plan for the department and increasing publicrelations. "Our focus next year will be to put more money in the program and more people in thestands," Bryant said. "We want to be the best entertainment value for your dollar north of Seattle."Bryant said in order to achieve the goals of the department, it will have to get people to attend gameseven if the team is losing. Bryant said he intends to add post-game dances, showcase prominentpersonalities, and give out promotional prizes. "We're not trying to create a circus because ourathletics are poor," Bryant said. "However, I feel we need a different approach to promotions outsidethe gym. Wewantpeople to wonder what's coming up next." After graduating from Western in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in speech communication, Bryant returned in 1990 to earn his master's degree instudent personnel administration. Bryant was actively involved in the local community in the last threeyears and has established many business contacts prior to returning to Western. With this experience,Bryant said he feels he understands fund raising from a non-profit viewpoint. "We're real fortunate to have Kevin to fill this position," Lynda Goodrich, Western director of athletics, said. "He brings a readyknowledge of Bellingham and Whatcom County, an understanding of the philosophy of athletics atWestern, and experience in marketing and promotion. You couldn't find a more enthusiasticambassador for our program than Kevin." Even though the position is labeled as a part-time job,Bryant admits it will be more of a full-time job. Bryant will also continue as assistant coach to BradJackson for the men's basketball team, a position he has occupied for the past four seasons. Bryant has also served as the athletic department's alumni relations representative the past two years and played a major role in the return of homecoming. From 1976 to 1980,Bryant played basketball for the Vikings and remains the school's fourth all-time leading scorer with 1,310 points. He was an all-district and all-conference selection and participated in the first Olympic Sports Festival in 1978. ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front OPINION April 12,1991 FRONTLINE Boycott of grapes could help save thechildren His voice was loud and clear as he spoke to a charged crowd of more than 500 people, gatheredin the Viking Union Lounge to hear him on Wednesday. Cesar Chavez, president of the United FarmWorkers of America, had a simple message: Stop buying grapes (as well as Chateau Ste. Michelle wine)and help save our children. If an estimated 3 percent of wine buyers and 9-10 percent of grapeconsumers stop purchasing these products, the current grape boycott will be successful. The purpose ofthe boycott is to pressure vineyard owners to meet three demands: 1) ban the use of the five mostharmful, cancer causing pesticides used in grape growing (Captan, Parathion, Phosdrin, Dinoseb, andMethyl Bromide), 2) implement a joint UFW/grower testing program to detect poisonous residues ongrapes sold in stores and allow the results to be made public, 3) establish free and fair elections and good faith collective bargaining for farm workers. This is the third grape boycott Chavez has orchestrated. The first, implemented in 1960s, was successful because 17.5 million people boycotted grapes. Successfulboycotting of California grapes led to a grape contract that included a ban on DDT, Dieldrin, and Aldrin in1970. The current boycott, which began in 1988, is entering a critical stage in which increased awareness and support is needed more than ever. Extensive spraying of Captan and other pesticides is killing farmworkers and causing cancer and birth defects in McFarland, Calif., and other "cancer cluster" townsthroughout the San Joaquin Valley. In McFarland, where the cancer rate for children age 4 to 12 is 800percent higher than the national average, a square block exists in which one child in every home hasfallen victim to cancer. As Chavez said, the workers who suffer from pesticide inhalation "areparakeets for the market place." The residue from those pesticides remains on those grapes and isingested by thousands of Americans. The state of California is in the pocket of agri-businesses and theEnvironmental Protection Agency has become just one more bureaucratic wheel in the political machine.As a result grapes with Captan residue levels of as much as 39 parts per million are legally sold in themarket place. This is 10 times higher than acceptable pesticide levels on European produce. The EPAhas inconsistently banned the use of Captan on other crops but refuses to stop its use in grape and grain production. The reasons for allowing the use of deadly pesticides is purely economic and the result isdeath for thousands of people across America—unless we act now. The American people blocked theuse of DDT by banning grapes in the '60s and they have the power to do it again. As Chavez slated, thegovernment won't stop it and legislation won't stop it, so the market place has become "our court of lastresort." Eight hundred thousand children under the age of 12 are working the Califomian grapefields—fields sprayed with deadly pesticides. "Help them and give them a chance," Chavez said.

NEA:victim of political opportunism i By Michael Anthony Staff reporter have a cousin in Congress andalthough we'venevermet,Ifeel I've come to know him well. He is Representative Richard "Dick" Armey(Republican, Texas), a frequent guest on television news programs. A man with a mission, Armey isseeking the abolition of the National Endowment For the Arts. A stocky, media-friendly conservative,Armey is riding the waves of a tumultuous battle over federal subsidy of art some consider to be anti-religious, obscene, or otherwise objectionable—an issue that enables him to score easy points with hisconstituents, and achieve much craved national attention. Armey's infatuation with the NEA fracasseems to be a matter of convenience rather than conviction. He has positioned himself strategically andsafely in the eye of a raging hurricane, within an issue mainly popular for its obscenity and censorshipaspects. In earlier television appearances, Armey uttered his disapproval of taxpayer dollars fundingsuch works as the homo-erotic photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe. In recent interviews though, Armeyhas modified his position. Transforming his view to one of general distaste for all federal art subsidies,Armey now claims to have no quarrel with controversial art. Publicly, at least, he has exchanged hismoral outrage for what passes as simple, frugal budget consciousness. He resists the label of censorunder the guise of a budget cutter. An intelligent political strategist, Armey wears two masks. All atonce, he is viewed by conservatives as a staunch defender of moral values, and by moderates as aprotector of the public trough— allowing him to accept the appreciation of happy conservative watchdogsand reject the charges of liberal art supporters with equal grace (by claiming he is actually trying to putan end to the bias and censorship of the NEA). To middle America he is not perceived as a threat to civilliberties, to moralists he is the threat they are looking for, and to the arts community he is hard to pindown. Armey deflects criticism by referring to the NEA itself as a "censorship organization" that makessubjective judgements about the value of art all the time. Looking at the present system of art subsidy, itis true. The NEA, sometimes as a result of pressure and sometimes out of bureaucratic self-interest,does act as a censor of the arts. It is true that, as long as we federally fund art, we are engaged incensorship unavoidably. It is among the policymakers that a shift in thinking needs to occur. Art should not be subsidized. It is the artist that needs and deserves our support. The National Endowment shouldnot be destroyed, just reorganized. What is overlooked among all the smoke and hot air surrounding this debate is a growing misconception of the arts. A simple view is art is merely attractive, decorative, orsimply something that sells. But art is not only what is publicly palatable or commercially viable. Artcanalso be disturbing; a window to another culture (or counter-culture), or even a different See Anthony, page 11 Drugs: an unnecessary crutch A By Jeff Flugel Staff reporter 11 right, let's get this straight —taking drugs to stimulate relaxation and creativity is a normal activity?It's common, maybe, but is itsomething to be endorsed? The campus majority seems to think so. I, for one, do not. I heartily agreewith those who feel we need to keep a watchful eye on the U.S. government's anti-drug campaign beforeit squashes all First Amendment freedoms beneath its iron heel, but to support drug use as a positive,necessary means of stress relief is ridiculous, not to mention disturbing. We all know the negative effects of drug use. I won't argue against the positive medical and psychological benefits, for they have beenproven. But occasional drug use totters constantly on the brink of dependency. Using marijuana or"harder" drugs to alter consciousness or to relax after a stressful day's work is not a natural technique.Fitness experts have proclaimed for years that normal, moderate exercise and biofeedback techniquesare the best and most natural means to physical and psychological harmony. Exercise, meditation,yoga, good nutrition, adequate sleep— in other words, a healthy lifestyle— produce all the natural"highs" an individual needs. Let's face it: clean living has been proven time and again to lead to all-around superior mental, emotional and physical health and performance. Drugs are a crutch, a more insidiousand precarious means to an end. Yes, for ages other cultures have used drugs as integral parts of theirtheological and philosophi-. cal lifestyles. However, they have relied even more on physical activity, diet,and self-control to achieve and maintain their peaceful, harmonious existence. The claim that drug use isinherent to the creative process is spurious. For every artistic or literary giant who relied on controlledsubstances for inspiration, there are dozens of others who never used them and who would have beenoffended to think that their own abilities were not enough to suitably express their genius. Whether theyare illegal and come in little plastic bags or legal and come in cans or bottles marked Bud or JackDaniels, the bottom line is that drugs are not necessary. The human body is an amazing organism.Properly treated, it can function at incredible levels of performance. Foreign substances are just that:foreign, alien and not needed. ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 11 ---------- April 12,1991 T FTTFR S The Western Front 11 From Anthony, page 10 lifestyle. Art is a means ofemotional and thoughtful communication. It is awesome, intriguing, and miraculous—even when itoffends. For those who appreciate art and the artist, a system of public support is essential, filling a voidthat could otherwise be filled only by private interests. But a government-as-curator system of "morallysensitive" selection is totally unacceptable. The current NEA runs as if it is commissioning art for anemperor, being careful not to offend, when what it really should be doing is simply existing as a means ofsupport for artists. What constitutes art is most properly judged individually by those who create andappreciate it, not by government bureaucrats or the narrow, money-guided interests of corporate boardmembers. Faced with the option of eradicating the NEA, as Armey has suggested; or providing publicsupport to the artist without restriction of creati ve expression, it is the latter that seems more prudent and rational. Abolishing federal funding of the arts would be the ultimate form of censorship: censorshipthrough deprivation—a wide-reaching form of censorship affecting all art, whether controversial or not.Hopefully, with perseverance, the arts community can inform the public of the need for federal support. atyour pace Liberation possible only through Jesus, not pot Dear Editor. I smoked pot for three yearsbefore experiencing a radical shift in lifestyle from "joints to Jesus," and I can agree with Kevin Keyes'opinion in the Western Front — getting high was indeed a "very pleasurable experience."... But after Imet the person who changed my life forever, I soon learned there was a sharp distinction between meresensation and truth, and between pleasure and real joy... In his article, Keyes says that people have trieda wide variety of substances in pursuit of a "few laughs" and says that marijuana is one of them. He thengoes on to say, "Nothing in life is perfect, but marijuana is close." This is true in one sense, but false inanother. There is something in life that is perfect, but nothing in this world can produce it, for a very simple but powerful reason: We are made in the image of God, not in the image of nature. We also have a soul,which means we were not made for this world — so why live as if we were? If you are seeking happinessthrough pot, you will always be in pursuit of it, but you will never find it. ...True liberation is complete andsustained. If it does not liberate fully, it is not true liberation. But it is obvious that getting stoned neveraccomplishes true liberation from boredom; if it did, the pot smoker would be able to quit after one joint— but in fact, he smokes it again and again... The "Frontline" commentary suggests the legitimacy ofdrug use in religious ceremonies, but it is a mistake to suppose (as I once did) that one can experienceGod through drugs. God is a person, not a thing. He relates to us as a father relates to his child. We dealwith him through trust and humility, not through a brass pipe... —Daniel Carollo VOC homophobia issueremains unresolved Work at our place, Dear Editor: The racial graffiti found on a calendar in the office ofthe Veterans Outreach Center, and the subsequent resignation of VOC coordinator Tim Osterholm, is ashocking reminder of the level of bigotry on our campus. Certainly someone with Osterholm's principleshas no place in anything calling itself an "outreach center," regardless of his other qualifications. Pleaserecall that last quarter it was Mr. Osterholm whose homophobia and sexism drove him to request an officeon another floor to get away from the Women's Center and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (Jan. 29Western Front). And he wanted out of the AS Human Resource Program as well, so he wouldn't have tolisten to them "talk about gay rights, feminist issues, and the like." Apologies have not followed eitherincident. Instead, VOC employee Tom Walsh claimed "...you can't ask people to curb the way they think. We're adults now; we already have that Mind-set." With Osterholm taking his prejudices back into thecampus community, has bigotry within the VOC quietly slipped back into the closet? And have the staffmerely learned to hide their feelings in order to protect themselves from those who might be hurt oroffended? No university needs an outreach group reaching out with the poison of bigotry. If Osterholm didnot write the offending graffiti that precipitated his resignation, then the author presumably is still there,along with the mind-set Walsh so clearly • described. As a veteran, I find the remarks of Mr.Osterholm and Mr. Walsh—and the tacit acceptance of their prejudice by the other VOC staffmembers— a disgrace to the military, to the college, and to the community. The continued operation ofthis program should be predicated on the completion by the staff of a course in sensitivity training and apublic apology from the VOC including a statement reaffirming their principles of equality. -Mark W.EllisHeavy metal rock stars: Don't like 'em? Don't listen! Dear Editors, Why are you wasting your time rantingand raving about what heavy metal rock stars do on stage? If you are so bothered about theirperformances, just don't attend them. Is it okay for Mick Jagger, Prince, Elvis, and Chuck Berry to perform in a sexually titillating manner, while it isn't okay for heavy metal musicians? Lighten up. Let the publicdecide if they like it or not. Next, you'll be claiming that Ozzy Osborne and Judas Priest are responsiblefor teen suicide. I am disappointed that the Front would waste its time on such garbage instead offocusing on more important issues such as the merciless slaughter of Kurds and Shiites by SaddamHussein or more relevant issues such as state funding for education. —Phil Braver, ElectronicsTechnology We know that sometimes you have the kind of work that only you can do.

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

Upper division students represent the major portion of the student body with approximately 80 per cent of the registration. Others are as follows: special students, 7 per cent; sophomores, 8 per cent; and freshmen, 5 per cent. Over 40 per cent of the enrollment is from Whatcom county. Other states and territories as well as British Columbia are represented. Northwest Aviators Start Flight Work Actual flight training in the civilian aviation class began Wednesday. Under the direction of Gordon Miller, flight operator, and Floyd Lampman, the recruits launched, their field work. Ground training started at the beginning of the summer session with Eldon Pollock, ex-army aviator, as the instructor. Twelve recruits, eleven men and one woman qualified under the strict government regulations to start the training under the Civil Aeronautics authority. Several recent additions have completed the list bringing the total enrollment to fifteen. As the list stands now, the members are, Francis Callihan, Arlene Dickinson, Alfred Dunn, Richard Fowler, Roy Franko, Steve Gierman, Jack Jensen, Aimer Peterson, Fred Pratt, Brian Robson, Ralph Simonds, Fred Weihe, Frank Lampman, Marvin Richards, and Francis Reynolds. Because of an official ruling, only one woman in ten may take advantage of this gratis training.

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

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

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

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

He is Writer editor this quarter, has been co-sports editor and news editor of theCollegian, and was the editor of his high school paper. Because he is an accelerated student, Gaywill hold junior status at the end of fall quarter.

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

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

While sleepily crawling into ''the- old jalopy I could see the sun just coming up over the mountains;It. was -then that I began wondering how Homer had ever convinced me to get up so early for Campusday. Well, there was no use .thinking about it then ^-we were on our way to Whatcom Falls park. •The Skit assembly wasn't sched-iried 'til at least after the sun had come up, but Homer said it would bebetter if we went straight to the park before everyone^ got there. So Spies skipped ' t b0 assembly to;get: out to. JheApa*k,Jfcef lt;jre reyerypne , else.

Sam and Al wer^ straggling 'wayv behind .the. rest, because jtheyhad decided, to ;W;alk L . ..; :- ^ The morning slipped by andT it was soon, time for lunch. Lunch—everyone was famished! Like a swarm; of locusts t h e y devoured everything in sight. ' After lunch thegames began, starting naturally with the pie eating contest. "Uncle Harry" made his first appearancesince the day he broke his leg at the Homecoming game, and ate more pies than the entire' faculty.During the faculty-student tug-of^- war, Al and Sam finally arrived on the scene. Every one was soexcited to see them that the tug-of - war was completely forgotten. The crowd cheered the two fellowswho came straggling in. I was cheering especially because both played on our baseball team. At lastthe game started. Roger was first at bat. With power like that we easily won the game. Homer said that I was playing very well, but somebody hit the ball to me and things got all fouled up. It WAS unfair ofGeorge to hit it to me— he KNOWS I can't catch. Ah! Campus day ended happily. The students andfaculty hopped into their cars, trucks, wheelbarrows and other means of transportation, and headedfor home. Sam and Al trudged wearily along Lake-way, and Homer and I pushed the eld buggy down thehill, got it started, and chugged noisily back, to Western. • WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN f ' H t '' gt;,.*". i[J {" i ?d ' ^ '*) " "Since 1899 Member Intercollegiate Press Entered assecond class matter at the post office at Bellingham by virtue of the act of Match 8, 1879. :": Printed; byCox Brothers,.

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

This new game was being demonstrated for the first time on- Western'scampus. The game originated in Seattle and several leagues are springing up for wisket players. It isplayed with a baseball and bat but there, the': similarity to the original diamond game ends. Instead ofgloves the fields; use long tennis-like contraptions or wiskets as they are called. The rules are totallydifferent also. The defensive team makes all the points. The whole team, 10 men, bat around and thedefensive-team scores points. A point is obtained when a base is touched 4n gt; front of the runner. Thegame is 'an entirely new idea originating in Seattle. Many main colleges are incorporati n g ^ ;mtheirtPE curriculum: ~~ * . . . - . . « - . . * • • During, winter quarter there was an gt;all-^tarintramural vs. the Jayvee basketball game.vand-the game aroused much interest and comment.

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

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

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

He left Latvia when theRussians* entered because he did hot want to be under Russian dominance. He is majoring in biological science and- teacher education. In Protest It was announced-; by school officials that eight members on: the; staff of EWC's physical education department say they will resign if the athletic director i sretained. The action taken, is against W. B. Reese. All those involved delivered their Qualified letter ofresignation ta the college board of directors meeting held Saturday. At the same time an 84-pagereport having to do with Reese's standing as a student in the graduate school at Eastern waspresented to the board. J. Harold Anderson, .chairman of the board, declined to say if there wasany relation between the two events. - Nearly all the physical education department signed the letter of qualified- resignation. The letter gave no reason-for the action. Included among the faculty membersinvolved was Eastern's head football- coach Abe Poffenroth. Reese made no comment on the incident. / ".- ' — — O BUSY-SIGNAL The whole world loves a lover, We think they're all divine, But not whenwe discover One on our party linel --Catherine E. Berry.

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

WWC picked up a lot more points by winning the relay race. The time of this race, broke theschool record' for relay races. Other Western performers piled up points with seconds in some events toget Western a tie for first place. Vik miler, Jerry-: Swan, took second place in the two mile race againstsome tough competition. ' One man entered the meet as an independent and startled many bypicking up more points by himself than several teams entered in the race. This man. was the great trackstar, Reverend Bob Richards.

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

Facultymembers on the committee are Dr. Frank D'Andrea, chairman, music department; Bernard Regier,music department; Laurence Brewster, speech department; John Porter, education department; MissEthel Church, secretary to the president. Student members include: Mark Hafdie, ASB president;Phyllis Skinner, AWS president-elect; and Dodsworth. . * "The distribution between artists andlecturers has been made almost equal. There will be no over balance of musicians next year," stated Dodsworth. Fugue By E. S. LAIRD Solemnly he spoke of the great musician In terms of fugues andmighty phrases. We lay in clouded mood And sang of lofty trees without tops That upheld the edges ofthe sky. As the ponderous notes clamored forth We thumped our feet, and "They remind me of goats,",he said. The notes came bleating forth together As they scattered dotting white over the hill. "Mightygoats they are, pushing stones With their heads, pushing stones and, "^ Rolling mountains to, theedges of the world." We lay in silence and listened to the peaks Crashing in dark stillness. FacultyKeeps Contact Of First-year Tutors An effort on the.part of the faculty of Western Washington College to keep effective contact with all first year teachers is proving successful. The program started with theestablishment of the General Certificate pian in 1951-52. The visitation program became fully establishedin 1952- 53 when essentially all graduates began their teaching with the Provisional General Certificate. 4»-—-—— The visits made to t h e graduates of Western Washington college during fall andspring of. 1953 by faculty members had the following purposes: (1) To make possible a first-handstudy of the effectiveness of the teacher education program as reflected in the work of WWC graduates.(2) To stimulate graduates to make a study of their work during this year with, an eye to improvement. (3) To assist the provisional cer-: tificate people in effective planning of their fifth year of college workwhich needs to fee started, as a basis for renewal "of:vtheir provisional certificate. . lt;4) To maintain acontinuing rapport with graduates and assure them of Western's interest in their success and thedesire to be helpful when needed. (5) To maintain a continuing contact" with public schooladministrators and teachers and to assure them of the institution's interest in the success of publiceducation in the state.of Washington. Forty-five faculty members visited a total of 16(5. beginningteachers. However, a total of 476 persons were seen on the twenty-four trips made to sixteen counties.First year teachers are working in school buildings that run the gamut of possible conditions, according to a report just issued. Some are teaching in practically ideal situations, some in buildings that aredescribed as ordinary and average, and some are in buildings considered to be fire traps, barren, smelly, dirty and crowded. More places have inadequate materials than adequate housing. Most availableinstructional supplies are those classified as audio-visual aids. Least available are art materials, textbooks, music, and maps. The enrollment per room ranges from 18 to 52. Some kindergarten teachershave three shifts and as many as 83 children. At least 25 of the WWC teachers have split rooms orcombination grades. The management of children, how to handle delinquent children, and how to keepchildren quiet, were frequently mentioned by beginning teachers from first grade through junior highschool and in both rural and city schools. The use of the Parent-Teacher conference as a means ofreporting to parents was mentioned most often, but requests for help on the whole matter of parent-teacher relationships were listed. Cooperative principals and teachers were named by teachers asthe SHIRTS IN AT 9 OUT AT 4 Complete Laundry and Cleaning Service 205 Prospect Street Phone 66 or 67 chief source of their in-service assistance. A few teachers remarked that they had received littleor no help. Some principals stated that they had given suggestions to help the teachers but that thesuggestions were not taken by them. Between one-third and one-half of the beginning teachersremarked that their college preparation had been good, that their training was adequate, and that most of the problems" encountered on the job could not have been answered at the pre-service level.

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.

Anyone who is interested inlooking at Amnesty International or doing work for it is invited to the Campus Christian Ministry house 8 p.m. Thursday. Meetings also tend to be on the first Thursday of every month. This letter isspecifically in regard to an incident in Russia involving Amnesty Internationa l Two members inRussia, biologist and human rights activist Sergei Kovalev, and physicist Andrei Tverdokhlebov,have been charged with anti- Soviet activity, although our group is not illegal under the Sovietconstitution. Kovalev, who is a close friend of Nobel Prize winner Andrei Sakharov, has been sentencedto seven years in labor camp and three years in exile. Telegrams protesting the official treatment ofthese two men have been sent by Bellingham group members to Leonid Brezhnev and NikolaiShchelokov, Minister of the Interior. Copies of the telegrams will be sent to Anatoly Dobrynin, USSRambassador in Washington, D.C.

He lived here for two years, part of the time in aChristian "boys' " home for single young men.

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.

BASKETBALL — Newlyappointed coach, Mike Haerling, will guide the junior varsity team through the remainder of the season.The team owns a 2-1 record, after defeating Shoreline Community College last week, 48-37. The Vikettes played Edmonds Community College here last night. Haerling graduated from Western last fall inphysical education and played varsity football here for four years. FOOTBALL — Center Andy Harlin and defensive lineman Dann Debellis earned honorable mention honors in the Little College All-American pollfor their performances last fall. Harlin, a junior, was also named to the all-district first team while DeBellis, a senior, was on the second team. Harlin picked up additional honors last month when he and junior end Chuck Houser were selected to the Little College All-Northwest second team. INTRAMURALS —Tomorrow is the last day to submit basketball rosters. They should be turned into the intramural office(Room 112), in Carver Gym.

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. A Peg Bolek Memorial Scholarship Fund is nowbeing set up for needy women in the physical education department. Details will be printed later.

It used to read "We'll pay you $288 a month to learn a skill," but a groupcalling themselves the Bellingham Chapter of the Citizens Committee for Honesty in Billboards decidedthat was false advertising, and so sometime late Sunday night it was changed. The Front was informedof the planned sabotage when a person sounding very much like Donald Duck called the office Sundayevening, and asked to speak to the editor. He identified himself as a member of the Bellingham Chapterof the Citizens Committee for Honesty in Billboards, and stated that "a billboard on State Street is guiltyof false advertising, and is being rearranged to make it more honest." He asked the Front to drive downState Street early Monday morning, and to look for the altered board. A reporter and photographer wereon the scene .early yesterday, and discovered that the Army adjust off the corner of Laurel and State had been changed by blacking out the unwanted letters with some type of paint. The Bellingham ArmyRecruiting Office hadn't heard of the Committee's work when the Front inquired, but said that the "work of vandalism" would be removed as soon as possible. The alteration of the billboard may have beenprompted by a rash of attacks Photo by JAY ECKERT on Army billboard advertising which has beenoccuring recently across the nation, and has been reported in several newspapers including Bellingham's Northwest Passage. According to the Passage article, the Citizen's Committee claims chapters in 28states, all actively altering billboards to represent what they see as the truth. According to the Passage,the Committee notes that "modified billboards are being repaired," but says they'll correct this situationas fast as possible. ---------- Western Front - 1972 July 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2. Western Front Tuesday, July 18, 1972 Front editorials... What's George gonna do in Round Two?What's George got up his sleeve for Round Two? Round One was, in the end, no contest. With a superborganization lobbying for him at every democratic caucus and primary, McGovern entered the DemocraticConvention the odds-on favorite to win. And justly so, for he knocked all other contestants out of the ringin one ballot. George had correctly sensed the political mood of the people in the primaries and theconvention, and emerged as the darling of the Democratic party. George, really had his shit together inRound One. But Round Two is going to be a bit more of a challenge for the man from South Dakota.McGovern is entering the political ring against an old pro with a one win, one loss record j n pastpresidential races. George therefore has a distinct disadvantage from the beginning: his lack of experience in political infighting. George is going to have to learn a wide assortment of jabs and barbs in a very shorttime if he's going to stay in the ring with the champ. George is going to have to learn to duck and jab from the center, because this old pro is reputed to throw a mean right hook at anything coming at him from the left. George is gonna have to jab viciously at the weak links in Big Dick's armor, trying all the while tokeep the champ back on his heels. Rhetoric is really vicious at times like this, if applied properly. Wordslike Economy, Corporate Power, Taxes, Democracy, and Vietnam could bring Dick to his knees if applied in liberal doses. But first and foremost, George is going to have to maintain the charismatic personalityexuding confidence and honesty which he currently enjoys. The champ can only appeal to his past record of deception and lies, George can point to a prosperous and peaceful future. Keep your guard up,George, and smash him one for me. LYTM WATTS McGovern.. some fresh air or lots of stale cigarsmoke? After the "safe and sane" opening speech delivered by Democratic Party Chairman • LarryO'Brien, the acceptance speech by George McGovern was like a firecracker going off in our hands.O'Brien had said this was the year to stop the rhetoric, be open and honest with the American public, totry and restore America's faith in the political system by not promising things that can't be delivered.McGovern's speech was in direct opposition to the party's chairman. He promised things that will bedifficult, if not impossible, to deliver. McGovern proposed a grandiose scheme for bringing the soldiershome from Vietnam after stopping the bombing on Inauguration day. George may have something to sayabout when the bombing stops and when our soldiers return, but how can he promise that the POW's willcome home at the same time? He promised jobs where none exist today. Will he have to fall back on the old Democratic solution of artificially stimulating the economy to fulfill that promise? He promised welfare reform. How can he keep that promise, when it's been made before and couldn't be kept? His was aspeech liberally sprinkled with "I w i l l " and " I shall." These are words that imply promise. Nothingdefeats credibility faster than empty promises. If McGovern is to maintain the support of his backers andgive the voter a real alternative, he is going to have to do more than emulate the old style politics.

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.

"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.

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? Dr. Kenneth Jernberg bandages Robert Walker. fraction of the University ofWashington's expenditures. That's $10-11 a year for Western, and $23-24 for Eastern and Central perstudent. One full time and two part time doctors are paid out of Western's health budget, along withregistered nurses and receptionists. The facility is supplied as best as possible. Antigens (allergymedicine) aire kept in a refrigerator without a h a n d l e that was found somewhere in Edens hall.Jernberg said he doesn't feel Western's level of funding for health services reflects the Photo by JAYECKERT proper priorities of such an institution. Those who have waited in line there may agree. . Atpresent, after your wait you can get "treatment of acute problems, preventative health measures andhealth education," if you are a student who pays full tuition at Western.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Magnolia, Bellingham, WA 9 8 2 25 (Across from Cellophane Square) OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Page 8 ---------- 8 • The Western Front Features October 10, 2000 up and skate Amidst controversy, skaters and city officials talk about the newly opened park By Brittany Sadler THE WESTERN FRONT One steep wall has "hell hill — lawsuit waiting to happen" spray painted across it. Another reads, "we want a skatable park." The Bellingham Skate Park opened about three weeks ago, giving skaters a long awaited place to skateboard and rollerblade. Many, however, are unsatisfied with the park's features. Jason Snow, co- owner of Alliance Skateboard Snowboard Shop, said he is displeased with the park's design. Snow said he feels the design is not up to par, because he believes it isn't modern enough. "A lot of the park is not skatable," Snow said. "The walls are too steep to do anything on. It's just wasted space." Snow said the majority of the complaints he has heard about the park come from the youth who use it. 'It's like needing a pair of pants, and your mom goes and buys you some from Kmart, and then makes you wear them," Snow said. "The whole point is that the kids should get what they really want." Park visitor Greg Keefe, 18, said he likes the park, but the transitions between elements in the design need to be smoother. 'It's like needing a pair of pants, and yow worn^oe a^bAty ypu some from 'Kmartt'tin ihert'fndkes you wear them.' Jason Show Co-owner of Alliance'' Keefe said he also thinks a partial roof should cover some of the park when it rains. Snow said he also was disappointed there wasn't much room for suggestion. "By the time they had the community meetings, everything was already done and I couldn't attempt to input anything," Snow said. Jonathan Schilk, Bellingham Parks and Recreation's landscape architect, said that when Parks and Recreation held meetings at the park site, skaters in the community requested the removal of some of the park's features, and Parks and Recreation obliged. "There were supposed to be a volcano, loveseat, stairway and inclined rail, which Takuya Waters/The Western Front Jason Bas rocks to fakie on the spinewall. were all taken out at the request of the skaters," Schilk said. Schilk said he thinks Parks and Recreation did the best they could considering the rules and guidelines they had to stay within. State law required Parks and Recreation to accept the lowest bid from a contractor willing to build the park. The lowest offer came from Colacurcio Brothers Construction Company, Inc., of Blaine. The park, was designed by Pukiss-Rose, R.S.I. of Pullerton, CaL, who hired a professional skater on staff to assist with the designing process. Schilk said the park's construction budget was $270,000; $18,000 coming from donations and the rest from taxes. Since so much funding came from taxpayer pockets, Schilk said the city had an obligation to.keep costs down/This, he said,_ is why not all of the suggested changes to the park's design were made. "When you make a set of plans and then change it, you're hit with additional costs by the contractors," Schilk said. "We were caught in a difficult spot." Both Schilk and Marvin Harris, Bellingham Parks and Recreation's interim- park director, said they think the park is a success. • "It's impossible to please everyone," Schilk added. "We were able to please most people, and if we do "that,then:.'we're successful." . *;..'•' .'" "V'..-'":• ,-v';' /sy-jSi^ -Field does the trash pickup,~ there hasn't been much problem with keeping the park clean. ' . Harris said he feels -Parks and Recreation's main problem is the graffiti now covering much of the park. "We are going to install a water line in the park so we can continue to remove graffiti as it occurs," Harris said. A few of the skaters disapprove of some of the graffiti. Devin Kain, 17, thinks some of the complaints written about the park and its design are "lame." Kain also appreciates some of the park's graffiti. " T h e more artistic graffiti is cool, and makes it easier to see the ground and make the landings. It also makes it more of a hometown skate park," he said. Besides comments about the park's design, Kain and Keefe think a few additions should be made to the park, such as a portable toilet, a pop machine and lights so they can continue to skate at night. \ The park is open from 8 a.m. to dusk, which in winter will come as early as 4 p.m. Kain foresees the shorter hours as a problem with crowding, since the time between the school day ending and the park closing will be shortened to a couple of hours. Harris said Parks and Recreation doesn't have any events scheduled yet, but is willing to work with skate shops to set up competitions. Snow said he plans on arranging a competition or contest after the locals have a chance to get used to the park, but would like to see Parks anil Recreation plan something. "The major concern, however, is that the park stay open for the general public," Harris said. Though the skaters and Parks and Recreation officials don't see eye-to-eye on many things, both agreed the most important thing is the park's existence. "It's not the most ideal design, but its there," Snow said. "We have a place to skate and that's what's important." Takuya Waters/The Western Front Skaters complain many walls in the new park are too steep, and transitions too abrupt. Fuel for the i Viking 29 showcases TPV power generation Jennifer Collins THE WESTERN FRONT Hollywood generally depicts futuristic cars as flying, supercharged versions of today's vehicles. . As founder and director of Western's Vehicle Research Institute, Michael R. Seal has overseen the design and production of the "cars of the future" for the last three decades. Aside from their sleek, sports-car design and technical titles, the cars differ entirely from the Hollywood recipe. None of his cars fly. Well, at least not yet. One of the VRI's latest creations, the Viking 29, will be featured in the Whatcom County Museum's "Up to Speed: A Century of Cars" exhibit. It will be on display until Jan. 21 in the Arco Building on Prospect Street, Western's made-from- scratch classic of the future is the finale of an exhibit dedicated to the classics of the past. The Viking 29's glossy green Fiberglas body reflects striking accent lights and appears poised and ready to start its engine. "It looks like a sports car and drives like one too," Seal said with a chuckle, as he discussed the numerous innovative* vehicles designed by the VRI on Sunday at the Whatcom Museum. Described by the Society of Automotive Engineers as "one of the. 10 best faculty advisors in the nation," Seal earned his masters in education from Western in 1967. He went on to earn his doctorate in education from Texas A M in 1970. A self-proclaimed car enthusiast, Don Athens described the Viking 29 as a "work of art." Automobile engineers and enthusiasts alike questioned Seal on the Viking 29's intricate workings.

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

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

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

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

The women placed fourth in the race, which took place at Lake Padden Park. The race consisted of a 10- kilometer run for the men and a six- kilometer race for the women. "As a team, we easily won the competition," head coach Bill Roe said. "I'm very happy on the men's side, and the women ran a lot better as well; both ways we've improved." Junior Zach Boteilho led the Viking men, finishing fifth, with a time of 33:46. ' I t was a good team performance," Boteilho said. "Everyone ran a good pace." Valley Royal Track Club's Peter Cardie won the race, smashing the course in 31:53. Western's Karl Meller finished eighth with a time of 34:25, and Martin Ranney placed 11th with a time of 34:26. Club Northwest's Shelley Smathers won the women's race, finishing in 21:48. Western's top finisher, Megan Clancy, finished at 23:48. "I felt really good," Clancy said. "My time just didn't reflect it today." "It was a good day for us," coach Kelven "Pee Wee" Halsell said.

The Vikings' record improved to 15-5 overall and 8-0 in the PacWest Western Division. On Friday, the Vikings took an 11-2 lead in the opening game, fighting a six-point MSU surge to win 15-10. "That was just a string of points we wound up giving them," coach Diane Flick said. The Vikings took a quick lead in the second game, but the Yellowjackets kept the score close, exchanging possession of the ball 18 times before Western scored the next point. Western won the second game 15-11. The Yellowjackets took a 2-1 lead at the beginning of the third game, their only lead of the evening. The Vikings soon recovered the lead, winning 15-11. Flick said part of Western's performance Friday night was mental preparation. "We just didn't quite get our engine started this evening," Flick said. "It took us awhile to get going." Outside hitter Nicola Parker said maintaining a high energy level was part of the Vikings' trouble Friday night. 'There's always room for improvement ,and I think we had room for a lot tonight," Parker said. Saturday night the Vikings played Western New Mexico. The Vikings and Mustangs tied the first game at eight points before the Mustangs took a 9-8 lead, their only lead of the evening. The Vikings won 15-9. Western dominated the second game, winning 15-5 with the help of four service aces by outside hitter Donja Walker. The Vikings also controlled the third game by scoring five straight points, winning 15-9. Walker, who served six aces in the first two games, said she thought the Vikings played well Saturday night. Daniel J, Peters/The Western Front Michelle Parker and Shannon Rowland combine for a block. Western swept both the Yellowjackets and the Mustangs last weekend. "We controlled the ball real well tonight, Walker said. "They threw a lot of slop over to us and we took care of it." Setter Jill Dean said she thought the team played well because players made an effort to hit every ball, even if they missed. "The team played great tonight, the team hustled," Dean said. "Last night was a win and we'll take it, but tonight was a win we earned."

Midfielder Sean Standley scored the game-winning goal 14 minutes into overtime. The game was .scoreless at half-time, but Western started the second half strong, with Standley scoring two goals in a span of 43 seconds. "I thought the team played very well," Standley said. The Seasiders made a strong comeback late in the second half, scoring two goals with four minutes left in the game. "We played well until the last 15 minutes," Western coach Todd Stauber said. "We are having a problem playing as a team for the whole game, though." Western's record improved to 7- 5-0 overall and 2-1-0 in the PacWest Conference. Ruggers fall In Canada Angela D.

"It was a great learning experience," club president Alex McHuron said. "We played a lot of new players." .The Warthogs were the only collegiate team in the tournament, which was filled with men's clubs from Canada. This tournament served as a springboard for league play, which starts Oct. 21 against Washington State University in Pullman. "We were just trying to get a feel for each other," flyhalf Jordan Kiesser said. "We threw a lot of new guys in to see what they got, and give them a sense of what rugby's all about."

"We showed our character; we still went out, even with the mistakes, and dominated the football game. It was a good win." The Vikings have a bye week and next will play at Western Oregon University.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Disc golf has been around for quite some time, gaining popularity in the early 1980's. Disc golf can be played by a wide variety of people, a factor that contributed to its growth. "Disc golf is a game for everyone," said Joe Guthrie, owner of Frank's Place, a local pawn shop and supplier of discs. "I've been at (Cornwall Park) and have seen college students having fun, as well as families pushing strollers while playing." The object of disc golf is to get a disc into the basket, a four-foot metal piece that has a round metal cup halfway up the center post. On top of the center post is another circular metal cup with metal chains attached to it to catch the disc. Disc-golf courses are. usually in lush park areas. Enjoying nature and being able to walk through well-maintained parks are other reasons for the growth of the sport. , ._.:-:. "I started playing because I love the outdoors," said Mike Flones, an avid disc golfer who placed third in the novice division at the Cornwall Classic tournament at Cornwall Park. "It is so beautiful: Also, it's free and fun." Cost is another reason for the attraction and growth of disc golf. The disc-golf course at Cornwall Park is free. Doubles tournaments are put on by the Bellingham Disc Golf Club every Sunday at noon. Photos by Angela D. Smith/ The Western Front (Left) Jeremy Peterson tosses one in to make par on the third hole on a sunny, Saturday afternoon. Cornwall Park offers a nine-hole discgolf course. Each par-three hole ranges in difficulty level, from a straight shot from the tee to hole hiding behind an obstacle of trees and overhanging branches. (Right) Whatcom student Nik Alexander uses his putter, going one over par on such a hole. The $2.50 entry fee goes directly to prizes, such as money, discs or disc golf equipment, like bags or markers. There are two main types of discs: the driver for mid-to-long range shots, and a putter for Tahiti' it to the court \ Western netters receive new playing surface called Sport Court Photos by Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front A member of the men's ice hockey team lays down the Sport Court before Friday night's volleyball game against MSU-Billings. By Christine Callan THE WESTERN FRONT Western's athletic department introduced the women's Division II volleyball team to its advanced and improved Sport Court surface on Sept. 28. c "I love it," Kim Formo said. "It brings pride to our team. No one else in our conference has it, so it's intimidating to other teams." Head coach Diane Flick said Sport Court is.better physically for the team, providing more cushion for ankles and knees. "It is much nicer to dive and roll on," Flick said. ~ The Vikings are the first and only team in the PacWest conference to move on this innovative surface. "After we defeated St. Martin's (on Sept. 29), their coach asked if she could take the floor home with her," Athletic Director Lynda Goodrich said. "It is clear that the new technology has brought with it a lot of excitement and advantages for the players," she said. Not only is it better physically for the joints, but it adds an element of intimidation because no one else in the conference has it. "The athletic department has a great vision for where they want this program to go and a great determination to get there," Goodrich said. "It was done in the spirit of Title IX." Title IX deals with gender equality legislation and pro- 'The athletic department has a great vision for where they want this program to go and a great determination to get it there.' Lynda Goodrich Western athletic director vides equal funding for male and female athletes. "If that was the only reason we did it, it's reason enough," Goodrich said. "It emphasizes volleyball." Instead of the traditional basketball lines, the royal blue surface has only volleyball lines, . which makes it much easier for the fans to see. The surface is extremely durable and also portable, so it is laid down on game day and removed afterward. The men's ice hockey team sets up and tears down the surface as a fund-raising event for its sport, Goodrich said. Overall, most players agree. Sport Court gives them an edge over other teams. "I feel like I can jump higher," middle blocker Michelle Parker said. "I think it's a mental thing, but I'm going-to keep on letting myself believe it." The new volleyball surface must be inter-connected before each match. ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Vikings preview page 5 ---------- October 10, 2000 Sports Preview The Western Front • 5 shorter shots.

They make a wide variety of discs from ultra straight driver to huge curving discs to discs that actually roll over. Frank's Place also supplies W free maps of the Cornwall disc golf course. The Cornwall course is similar to a golf course, including a tee box, a fairway and holes! Cornwall is a par-three course, which means players are supposed to reach the hole in three throws. The distances of the holes range from 167 feet to 263 feet. "Every place was up north or 75 miles south," said Mike Carpenter, one of many contributors to get the official Cornwall course in. We all love to play and we wanted somewhere closer to play." On Sept. 24th, the fourth Annual Cornwall Classic took place at Cornwall Park. The tournament had five divisions: women's, novice, amateur, advanced and open: The Bellingham Disc Golf Club awarded prizes for the top finisher in each class, ranging from money to t-shirts. Most players agree the prizes are secondary to the fun they have playing disc golf. "Disc golf is a gas," said Jeff Margolis, owner of Everbody's Store and one of the sponsors of the Cornwall tournament. " Rugger Jordan Kiesser looks to lead the Warthogs while trying to stay busy By Kathryn Ellis THE WESTERN FRONT Rugby's popularity is surging across the nation. As vice president of the rugby club and one of Western's most promising returning players, Jordan Kiesser is in the middle of that wave. Kiesser's rugby career began four years ago, when he was a Andrew Linth/The Western Front Jordan Kiesser enjoys a break during play. junior at Handsworth High School in Vancouver, B.C. "In high school, I played football, soccer and rugby," Kiesser said. "Rugby is a lot of fun to play. You must pay attention at all times because it is very strategic. The physical aspect is also very fun." On a rugby team, 15 players are on the field during play — eight forwards and seven backs. Kiesser plays a position called flyhalf. He is in charge of the backs and calls the plays. With an 18-credit load and rugby practice, Kiesser doesn't find much time to do much else. When he has spare time, he said, he enjoys mountain- biking, hiking, camping and working on cars. "I have a 1962 Thunderbird that I work on whenever I have time," Kiesser said. Kiesser, a sophomore, was born in Los Angeles and moved to Vancouver, B.C. when he was 14. He completed high school in Canada. "I chose Western for the engineering department and because of its size," Kiesser said. The middle child of three, Kiesser has sports in his blood. His grandfather played and coached football and track at Andrew Linth/The Western Front Flyhalf Jordan Kiesser and his fellow Warthogs engage in a scrum during Saturday's tournament. Kiesser said one of his favorite parts of rugby is the physical play. the University of Southern California. Kiesser lived in the dormitories his first year of college, but decided off-campus living would suit him better this year and moved into a house with four other people. Living in his new house allows Kiesser to indulge his night-owl tendencies. "I am definitely a night person," said Kiesser. "I usually get a second wind around 9 p.m. and I don't function in the morning. It usually takes me a few hours to wake up." Kiesser's sleeping habits would fit in well in his native city of Los Angeles, but this overachiever claims he likes the pace of life in Bellingham. Kiesser said he is still not busy enough for his liking. If he can, he would like to add a job to his activities. Kiesser's teammates recognize his well-rounded attitude, and how he brings this levelheadedness to the rugby field. "Jordan is a great player because he is very athletic and very experienced," Alex Mchuron, the club's president, said. "He is a well-rounded player that excels in each part of the game." ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Vikings preview page 6 ---------- 6 • The Western Front Sports Preview October 10, 2000 Modest runner Patrick Murphy is quietly making a huge impact By Laura Mecca THE WESTERN FRONT It's hard to tell by talking with him that Patrick Murphy is a rookie with senior accomplishments on Western's cross country team. His modest personality makes it tough to get the facts. This five foot nine inch runner has no explanation for his speed and agility on the trails. In his first college meet on Sept. 30, Murphy placed second on the team. "The second meet I placed first, but a lot of the guys on the team weren't there," Murphy said. He said his interest for running was piqued when he saw how much fun his brothers and father had running. "I guess it kind of rubbed off," Murphy said. Murphy runs an average of 70 miles per week year-round. He began 'Being in that top group as a freshman is a good indicator in itself. 'Tee Wee" Halsell Head Cross Country Coach running as a way to explore his home in Montana. "It started out just as a way to get out and see the different trails we have in Montana," Murphy said. Murphy said he began running for his high school team, Montana's state champions, when he was a sophomore. "Patrick was a pleasant surprise to us," Western head cross country coach Kelvin "Pee Wee" Halsell said. Murphy will be the only freshman running in the top seven spots on the team, Halsell said. "He is showing some signs of being a-good collegiate runner," Halsell said. "Being in that top group as~ a freshman is a good indicator in itself." Halsell attributed Murphy's potential to his competitive drive. "I am hoping that someday he'll work himself into an All-American as well as an academic Ail-American," Halsell said. "Patrick is a very well-rounded young man." Murphy said his speed and training came in handy this summer when he worked near Glacier State Park. "I ran into a lot of grizzlies this summer," Murphy said. "You stop and you freak out. You move back slowly and then when you get out, you run like hell!" , Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Patrick Murphy's youth and speed are assets to Western's cross country team. leads Vikes toward tlie By Shelly McPherson THE WESTERN FRONT For a girl who grew up in Hawaii's sun and sand, Shaye Anderson has adapted nicely to Washington's rain and gray skies. Born and raised in Kamuela, Hawaii, Anderson was recruited by Western last year from her hometown high school, Parker High. This is her second year playing on the women's varsity soccer team. Anderson grew up watching her older brother, Chris, a soccer goalie as well as hockey, and he took his sister under his wing and taught her the ways of goal-keeping. With 55 saves under her belt this season, he must have done something right. WELCOME STUDENTS! 9, THUR - SAT • L IW MUSIC JOIN ANNA'S BIRTHDAY CLUB!

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

Volleyball is a sport requiring communication, persistence and energy. Jill Dean, senior setter for Western's volleyball team, has these qualities and more.. "Jill brings maturity and confidence to the team," Diane Flick, Western's volleyball coach, said. "She's a natural leader who likes to take charge of challenging situations and the team responds to her leadership." Senior captain Donja Walker has played against Dean in club volleyball. "Jill has taken it more upon herself to lead on the court," Walker said. "She's really smart. She knows the game. She knows how the game flows and how to play it. She knows the game really well." Dean said she has found the fun in 'She has a passion for the sport. You can see by the way she plays. She puts her heart into it.' Nicola Parker Western volleyball player the game. In her senior season, Dean said she wants to have some fun — and include her teammates as well. "Jill is a very outgoing, mature student and athlete with a great sense of humor," Flick said. "She can make me laugh at the drop of a hat." "She can be relaxed at times, but other times she can be like 'let's play,"'Walker said. Freshman Nicola Parker said setters are one of the most important positions on the team and it's important to click with the setter. Parker said Dean becomes a partner with the "hitter and adjusts to make the partnership work. "The person who gets the glory is the hitter with.kills," Parker said. "Setters don't get the glory they deserve. They have to have a team attitude." Dean said a team needs to have all 13 players dedicated to the game. "It's a true team sport," Dean said. "It's not Michael Jordan and the Bulls or Shawn Kemp and the Sonics. It's Western volleyball." Former Western volleyball coach Michael DiMarco said Dean takes responsibility for her own actions: If she has a problem with the way she is playing, she corrects it. "Jill is an energetic person, and detail-oriented," DiMarco said. "She's wanting to learn and understand the process of decision making on the volleyball court." DiMarco originally focused on .

In this column I am going to attempt to bring out Hie most important facts and trends. Many of these observations and opinions are my own, so take them for what you think they are worth. This week has seen the passing from the scene of two of the most infamous men in history. These men are Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini. A d o l p h Hitler, der Fuehrer, came to power in 1933 as Chancellor of Germany. In the following years he gradually strengthened his power until he plunged the world into a war of catastrophic magnitude in 1939. In 1939, 1940, and 1941, he overran all of Europe execept the valiant little island of Great Britain and the sprawling Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In the summer of 1941, Hitler made the mistake that led to the downfall of the German Reich. The mistake of invading the U. S. S. R. From that time on his days were numbered. Gradually the tide was reversed until now the G.l/s have joined the Russians in several places along the Elbe, and Adolf Hitler is reported to have been killed fighting in Berlin. This is according to the Hamburg radio. Possibly the reported death of Hitler is to mask his escape while the German High Command hopes that the successor to Hitler, Admiral Karl Doenitz, will be able to get easier terms of peace from the Allies by trying to show that the Nazis have been removed. I do not think this will work. • - Also gone from the scene of international conflict is the pathetic figure of Benito Mussolini, who was shot to death along with his mistress and seventeen other high ranking Fascists. II Duce came to power much earlier than der Fuehrer, 1922 to be exact. At the head of several hundred ragged Black Shirts, Benito marched on Rome and was "openly welcomed by the starving, destitute Italians, who would accept anything that would give them food and jobs. . . For many years Mussolini rode the waves of glory, until he joined his partner in crime, Adolph Hitler, in the war. From that.time on Italy was on the way down until today his dream of Mare Nostrum has been destroyed, the empire is gone, Italy is completely occupied and the once great dictator is dead. Let this be a lesson to democracy in the future, to clean out "sore spots before they start to fester. Turning from death and destruction we look to San Francis- (Continued on Page Three) Spring Fever Strikes Campus; Daydreams Reign Supreme With spring blooming out in its entirety these past few days, familiar sites can be thoroughly enjoyed from the now-deserted libe.

Campus Day Celebration Set; Norsemen's Beards Growing By CATHERINE ANDERSON A flashy stocking dance, featuring the Hard Time theme of Campus Day, will top off the festivities of this year's school skipping. The dance will begin at eight o'clock, and will include presentation of prizes for the best skits, the best beards, and the flashiest, loudest pair of socks on the floor. The~Hard Time theme will be followed at the dance, and signs and deco^ rations will bring out this point. Times will be so tough that refreshments will be cokes and cokes only. However, the prizes will be substantial and well-deserved- Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, co-chairmen of Campus Day, have stated that absolutely no bobby pins, hair pins, ribbons, clips, rubber bands, or toasters shall be worn in the girls' hair the day before Campus Day. This point is emphasized in every announcement. Absolutely nothing shall J»e worn in the hair. For the rest of their costume, students are advised to dress in their oldest and saddest outfits, and men are to wear their hair Ish-Ka-bibble style, and beards of all lengths, colors, and descriptions will also be worn. Students may invite guests to the Campus Day dance, but there must be one college student per couple. Prizes will be given at intermission, and the dance will end at 10:30 or 11- And as for those socks! Polka' dots, loud stripes, circles, bows on. them, plaids, and various patterns will be worn, and according to dance chairman Herb Witt, "the louder the better." Awards will be given to both men and women for the most eye-filling stockings. Can you borrow a pair of Pa's?

WATCH THE BEARDS GO BY Now that the beards are growing, the ration points are collected and the skits are being rehearsed, we are all anxiously awaiting the traditional Campus Day. With a prayer for sunshine the student body of WWC is planning its ensembles for next Tuesday. Let's all give our full support to the committees who are working hard to make Campus Day a big success. ELECTION TIME We have the most important election of the year coming up very soon. It is up to us to choose the very best leaders to guide us through 1945-46. Our student body president is the chosen representative of the students of WWC. In order to elect the one who will best fill the position it is the responsibility of every student to vote in the election to be held May 16. Don't forget that date. And don't underestimate the desirability of getting good people to fill the other vacant offices which are being filled this spring. For the girls, the WRA election is coming up soon and for the men, the Norsemen election is a coming attraction. In every election take a little time to think about the nominees and then make sure you cast your ballot. During the past several years too many people have carelessly ignored the polls, yet if this privilege were taken from them they would certainly put up a few loud protests. We're fighting to keep what we have, so show that you want to keep your democracy. YOU MAKE IT We Print The News, You Make It. That has always been and still is the motto of the WWCol-legian. Despite that fact and despite the fact that newspapers have always had as their chief objective the printing of news material, complaints still come rolling in'about the source of our news. Our staff members have, often overheard a group of students criticizing the sheet because of too much faculty news and too little students news. But our ques- Mosher Recalls Poem Choices The time has come to speak of poetry. I know you'll probably stop right here, but do you know why you dislike poetry? Even though you are not one who reads poetry just for the aesthetic value, there is some sort of verse that will appeal if you will give it half a chance. In most cases it is ignorance that influences your dislike. For amusement and humor try reading Ogden Nash . . . For instance . . . "A girl who is bespectacled She may not get her necktacled; But safety pins and bassinets Awaits the girl who fassinets." Modern poetry is good and often fills the need the best, but the old sentimental poets really have something. Who can imitate Edgar Allen Poe's "Bells" . . . . . . To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells." Christopher Marlowe for sentimentality . . . "Come live with me and be my love . . . " Keats . . . ". . . I'll smoothly steer My little boat, for many quiet hours, With streams that deepen freshly with bowers." Wordsworth . . . "A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, smiles." The list of wonderful bits of verse could go on for miles but that is where the pleasure is found, in discovering a bit of well known new poetry that says what you feel better than any prose could possibly do. Don't take my word for it or anyone else's. Speak for yourself! tion is., "What have the freshmen done lately to make news, what have the sophomores done,, and what has the junior-senior class done that should appear in print?" With the clubs it is the same story except in occasional instances where a tea or a drive for some cause steps into the news. Unless the- students are active there is nothing for us to report, so the news you see in your weekly is what you make it. Another thing—it is impossible to include everyone's name in every edition, which we know is one of the greatest causes for dissatisfaction. But until you make the news, we can't report it. It is all up to you. ym Gonlessin Ya' wanta fashion foto? Wanta know what's the latest? Well, right now the vogue has turned to red. Tomorrow, though, it is very apt to be tan. Joan Martinson has invested in a two-tone job that has everyone wondering just what she is thinking of. In case you are wondering, those gals at Edens just haven't learned the art of sunbathing. Campus benches and the tennis court are literally swarming with students who just can't get enough of Old Sol's remedy. Frosh Are Some Good; Maybe!! By WALT BAKER Little ones, big ones, short and tall. Standing 'gainst the main hall walls. Floppy coats, turned-up brogues. Why, don't they look like rogues? Who? . . . The Frosh. In Hospice, Edens and even Daniels, Everywhere they're in a frenzy, They gesticulate, arguing with much air. Boy, they, sure look debonaire! Who? . . . The Frosh. By golly things would sure be drear About this time every year, If no one new around these walls Failed to show up at all. Cuess we need them, Guess We'd miss them, Who? . . . The Frosh. Gruesome Sights Anticipated Soon Have you seen the weird beards? Well, Campus Day is "whisking" upon us . . . only four more slopping days 'til the day we don our oldest togs, sans make up, with a Fiji Island hair-do, or oldest clothes -plus bristly beards. George Jurgens has a head start at beard growing. He never shaves until his whiskers scratch his ears, and Campus Day caught him in the final stages. I want to warn you By CHAR Good morning- Good Moaning ; Good Mourning That's how it is here at WWC . . . Some love to see their names ia print; others groan, and my mother will be mourning if a few of yrase guys carry out those threats. Only the other day, Pat Cooper tried to «b«ot me with a Kay Gun, but it wasn't rayning that day so it wouldn't g» •ff. —•— First honors go to JoAnn and Cookie Oh lookie lookie lookie . . . and not bad, either! —•— Ann E. wants to know a few things about the Norsemen's cruise. Vriu-stance (terms are borrowed'from last week's edition) what are the "mral cruise activities"? Oh, well! —•— It has been suggested that Charley Hicks have monitor duty during; dinner at Edens. She spends most of her time answering the phone, anyhow. —•— A FEW HAPPY SOULS AMONG THE ORDINARY ORGANISMS: Maggie and Bev McN. on Friday night. Mare Anderson and an officer at lunch Monday. Gene H. in the Co-op with some "mocs" from Alaska, and Al! Peg and Daisie, pleased as spiked punch about their cut off sweaters. (Peg does 'em two for 25c.)

"I dont enjoy dancing with anyone but Jean . . . " (Orphan). "Where's Bev? BogarCs on the radio, and. she just cant miss it!" "Is this your husband's hat?" And Helen couldn't even blush through that sunburn. Audreye with grass on her coat Friday, early in the a. m. Girls bemoaning the fact that Chris's brother is already taken. Becky Terry's brother was here, too. Jack Danley out looking for flowers. Roy reports that no one has said anything out of line at Daniels. —•— OPTIMISM No studies nor worries, How happy we'll be!

Think of where you could go. About 50 per cent would make a tour of the service camps of the country, the fellows would probably buzz around and. scare H out. of the faculty,. Betty Dodge would head back east. Harriett Clow would probably get as far as Mount Vernon and throw the darned thing away, and Mr. Dack would have the carpet in shreds in nothing flat tearing around to see all of his "Boys". Dale Burkluhd would challenge Superman to a race, and Gerry (Barefeet) Woodward would head straight for Dogpatch. —•— Well, if you're still here, you can go practice for the Pie Eating Contest. We will miss Mr. Hearsey, who takes on all comers. See you Wednesday! that tht rules do not permit you to take any of the articles from the old clothes drive.

Neither had I, until this morning. It could mean any number of things; which one it does, I do not know. It may refer to tennis rackets, which are associated with springtime. On the other hand, it may imply the guff, noise, and racket in this column. It may, however, indicate the slang use of racket— a dodge or trick; an imposture. Now we are getting somewhere, but where? —•— BEARDS BLOSSOM Hooray! The men of WWC are going to give forth with beards; the only thing left at which they excel the coeds. For a week the men will be men and demonstrate their masculinity with growths of bristles at one extreme and eider down at the other. Dale"Burklund's thick, black beard is t h e most potential winner. If Roger Nelson can cultivate a slight growth, he will probably have the blondest beard. The golf enthusiasts have been getting in a f ew practice licks for the coining golf tournament. Tis rumored that Allen Thon almost broke a hundred. Seven men have now signed up for the tournament. Wark, Sivertson, Thon, Burklund, Riddle, Pavlicek, and some character called Currie have all affixed their John Henries. Match play gets underway on the seventh. This warm weather has brought out the Hospice boys; their tennis tourney is going full tilt. Nelson will keep you informed of results. —•— VIKS DARKHORSE Intercollegiate sports competition has returned to WWC with a bang. The Vikings are the darkhorse in the coming Tri-Modern Dance Meet with EWC and CWC. The Viks are after the Winco title this year. The last time the p e w t e r cup rested in our hallowed halls was 1942 when the team pictured won the t i t l e . Coach Muffly is making no predictions, but she d i d say, "We have a chance." Pat Cooper is the standout in the field events on this year's team and Marilyn Booras leads in the sprints. —•— A sports event I will remember for a long time is a rugby match I witnessed between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. More interetsing than the game itself was the crowd reaction to the contest. There was no organized cheering as we have at football games. In fact, by comparison, there was no cheering to amount to anything at all. When the ball was dropped between the two lines at the start of the game, one player cleverly worked the ball back to his teammates with his feet and received a round of handclapping from the crowd and exclamations of "Well heeled ball!" If a team executed a play well they were praised by spectators of both sides with "Well played, varsity!" or "Good play, Oxford!" When a player pulled an out and out boner he was applauded, nevertheless, and the spectators said, "Jolly good effort." —•— AMERICANS PLAY What a contrast was an exhibition American football game between an air corps team and a ground force team that was held the same day. The American spectators were organized by cheerleaders into too madly hysterical groups that gave forth with bloodthirsty yells such as "Give them the axe," with its implications of mayhem. A player who pulled a boner received hoots and hollers of derision. All sorts of derogatory remarks were directed at the referee when he placed a penalty on a team. I t was just like a college football game in the States. As th game progressed, enthusiasm mounted to a high pitch and the yelling increased. An Englishman summed up the reaction of his people to the game when he saicl to me, "I say, I'm afraid there is going to be trouble." —•— POOR CUNDER Our boy, Cunder Haegg, is having a rough time in the United States, came in a slow fourth in the Penn Relays last Week. That transportation he is awaiting had better materialize rapidly. —•— News has arrived of the defeat of Pavlicek's seventh grade track team by Emie Ludwick's Lynden seventh graders. Ludwick's luminaries won the meet 23 to 1. Pavy claims his team would have made a better showing if they had had more practice. Hal Arnasoh, the Bellingham High athlete, was played up by the Seattle P.-I. this week for his pitching ability. He is an outstanding prospect for organized baseball. Arhason is a versatile fellow. Besides being an outstanding baseball player, Arnason is an all-state basketball player, is an all-Cross State football end, is ASB president at Bellingham High, and is on the honor roll.

In the city meet and the county meet he took first place in the 50, 100, and 200 yard dashes. Olden, a half miler for the Campus school, has also shown much promise. He took second place in the half mile in both the city and county meets. He has the ability, and with a little more self confidence should start romping in first. These boys and the rest of the Campus school squad will get a real test of their ability in the coming district meet. Good luck, boys! —•— More good news for football fans . . . Oregon State College has joined Idaho and WSC in announcing their intention to resume the gridiron sport this fall. Graduate Manager Percy Locey stated that OSC would "definitely" field a football eleven. Oregon and Montana are the only holdouts left in the Northern Division Coast conference. —•— Have you noticed how this column wanders and wanders more each week? Well, you would have noticed if. you would read it. Putting out enough guff 'n stuff each week to fill up space gets to be more and more of a chore as the weather gets nicer. It is becoming difficult to keep my mind on writing a column. My thoughts are of other things. (And Pm only three and a half years old!) In other words, spring fever has hit ye olde scribe. Watch out below, here comes one used typewriter! Hospice Tournament more norse notes Near Completion Hospice Inn tennis tournament is now in full swing. The racket swingers have been beating the ball all over the courts this past week and expect to finish the tournament possibly by Monday. The way the tourney was designed, many of the players drew byes for the first round. Tom Riddle defeated Lloyd Jones in a first round match, 6-3, 6-2. Riddle then went onjto defeat Bob Myers, 6-0, 6-1, putting him in the semi-finals against Dale Burklund. Burklund got the semi-finals by a match with Jack Danley, 3-6, C-0, 6-1. Riddle and Burklund will play a match today to determine which one will go on to the finals. In the other section of the tourney, George Jurgens is in the semifinals via a bye in the first round and a forfeit from Jack Graham. A first round match between Walt Baker and Herb Witt will be played off today, and the victor of that match will meet Bob Pavlicek. The winner of the match with Pavlicek will go on to the semi-finals wilh Jurgens as opponent. (Continued from Page One) centered for security from future wars. The 46 nations gathered at San Francisco hope to bring about an organization that will keep the peace. Most of the people of the nation want such an organization, but there are many idealists who will want a perfect plan to come from the conference or none at all. After the last war there were many such people who rejected the League of Nations because it was not perfect, and as a result they chose the other course which lead' to anarchy, chaos, and another war. The same thing can happen again after this war if we are not careful to learn from past lessons. In next week's column there will be more on the San Francisco conference, and I hope to have a Students Sucia Island Bound Sunday, May 13, men of WWC and their guests will embark on the annual Norsemen's cruise. Curtis Borchers, chairman, promises that all who travel with the: group will have a wonderful day. gt; The Sea Scout Ship? Activian is scheduled to leave Bellingham at nine a. m., and will convey the party to one of the scenic islands in. the San Juan group. Weather permitting, a few brave souls may take along their swimming suits and have a cool dip in the salty brine. Tickets for the cruise will be on sale early next week, and Wednesday has been set as the deadline for purchasing them. Details may be obtained from Chairman Borchers, but an afternoon of leisure and fun-making is in store for all who make the trip. Softball Enthusiasts Turning Out Now The girls have also been turning out to the call of spring this last -week. Barbara Caldwell, Bev. Morgan, Iris Bowden and many others can be seen out throwing the soft ball around. Gathering a few iame muscles on the courts have been Marilyn Booras, Babs teHennepe, H e l e n Boyer, Ethel Martinson and Mavis Danley.

I'm a PANSY, and I'm proud of it!" Naturally I was puzzled at this coming from the hedge right across from Hospice, so I looked to see who it was, and sure enough, there was a tall, dark, handsome . . . pansy. Pretty soon a chorus of pansies were just shouting to be taken from their hiding places, so out trooped a whole slew of Edens Hall Prosh, who began dashing madly around the dew bedecked, or just plain wet, campus in search of pansies, for each year the Uppers give the Lowers (speaking of classmen, not berths or teeth) a May Day Breakfast and Pansy Hunt. And the frosh return the good will by giving the grads a breakfast which Miss Powers is always late to. But back to my story! Edens is going to be different this year. Instead of the usual pansies there will be all sorts of pansies that Miss Piatt has had her science class grow. Now available are the talking Pansola, a cross between a phonograph and a pansy, and also a Pansetta, crossed with a Poinsettia for early blooming. The tiny ones are the Pansitas and Pan-sitos, Mexican ones that Donald Duck brought back on his magic rug. The last, loveliest, and livilest are the chim-pansys, which have exceptional expressions on their velvety faces. If you are interested in growing pansies, just enroll in Science 999.

It seems Lucille must have been a bad girl or something cause she got spanked good and proper this week by a certain blonde man about the campus. What was that for, Lucille? Another interesting but not very consistent comment that was overheard at the same time was "It's because I like to hold you." ENTJFF SAID! ! ! THE INNER SANCTUM Did you see the spread that Hospice Inn had last week? Well, we are going to try and keep up the good work. We know the women are just dying to find out what is going on in the InnerSanctum. Hospice was left rather vacant last week-end. A good share of the men, including Dale Burklund, Bob Myers, George Jurgens and Jack Danley packed up all of their dirty clothes and took off for home. The first match of the House Tennis Tournament was played Monday night between Lloyd Jones and Tom Riddle, with Tom winning 6-2, 6-1. The grudge match of the tournament will be played Friday evening between Ping Pong Pavy and Herb Witt. They say they are going to charge 10 cents per person, but sneak around to the back gate and Jack Graham will see that you get in for a nickle. Of course, this is strictly off the record, so don't spread it around. Coach Pavy has been looking rather blue for the past week. The cause: the Lynden team of a former WWC man, Ernie Ludwick, beat Pavy's seventh grade team from the Campus school, 23 to 1. Is Hospice ever getting swanky, or is it? We now have a Rose Room. Pavlicek and Jurgens have been doing, what they call interior decorating. They have big sheets of red paper on their desks and when the light hits it, WOW! It makes you dizzy to walk by so you can imagine what it is like living there. Well, my pen is going dry and my eyelids are getting heavy so I will close my little book and turn in for another night. Yes, another day of rest. Bye now. ^ FLASH— Latest reports show that the old clothes drive sponsored by Blue Triangle pulled in quite a haul.

BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 No. 17 Assembly Mr. Wright, superintendent of Lyn-den, visited the Normal last Friday and favored the students with an in­teresting address. His theme was "The Teacher," and the remarks made were of especial value to prospective teachers. "The three little letters, etc., may embody all the vital phases of a teach­er's life, which make for or against her success," said Mr. Wright in dis­cussing some of the essentials of the profession. He went on to explain that "e" might stand for enthusiasm, without which no teacher can be sue- Enrollment Now 1,599 o- The enrollment for the school year is as follows: Regular Normal, 1,060.

Miss Willoughby: "I have." And she had. The Normal five was again victor­ious last Saturday night when they de­feated an ex-Normal team from Van­couver in the local Gym. The final score was 68 to 25. Altho this is a one­sided game the score would have been much larger had the local boys played true to form. At times the Normal players were inaccurate in their bas­ket shooting, but outside of this one fault the game was fast, the guards doing some especially good work. For Vancouver, their center position seemed to be the strongest and best filled. The teams were slow in getting started, nearly five minutes having elapsed before either side scored. Normal shot the first basket and a moment later the score was evened up. However the Bellingham quintet played the steadier and the first half ended with a score of 26 to 15. The second half was a repetition of the first with Normal getting a larger score and holding their opponents to a smaller one. This period ended with, the local team on the long side of a 42 to 10 score. "Ali" Henne's again showed his ability by uncovering an unheard of band. They played a few selections between halves. The crowd joined in the merriment and altogether it was a rare treat. The members of the band were: Craushaw playing clarinet, Mathews, piccolo; Barnet, cornet; George Miller, snare drum; McKinnon, bass drum, and Frances Devery played the piano. The Normal team has now won four games and lost none. They will try to keep their record unbroken when they play Everett here tonight.

Many are ready to verify our statement that it is really the best that the Association has to offer during the year. At our first meeting, Mrs. Colby sang for us, "Jesus Is Calling." The two women, who came from Seattle, were then introduced and after a short greeting from Mrs. Soltan, Mrs. Camp­bell took charge of the rest of the meeting. Her main thought present­ed was "Oh! that our eyes might be opened." This proved to be the key­note for the entire institute. The second and third meetings were held Friday afternoon at 3:20 and 4:10. Mrs. Campbell spoke at 3:20 bringing us her message, first emphasizing "Ye must be born again." Her lesson was taken from the story of the "Woman of Samaria" and Jesus' words "I am the living water" were so forcefully brought to us. At 4:10 Mrs. Soltan had the meeting and her message was the story of "Cain and Abel." Gladys Hamley sang. Friday evening at 7:30 both Mrs. Soltan and Mrs. Campbell spoke. There was special music, a solo by- Ruth Elander. Saturday afternoon was given over to Missions. Mrs. Soltan told such in­teresting stories about her own chil­dren in mission fields and Mrs. Camp­bell also spoke, showing how plainly God says "Go" but we do not obey. Miss Sands sang for us "He Will Hold Me Fast." We feel that Bible Institute has been a real help and inspiration. For those who could not attend we are inviting you noAv to come to our regular asso­ciation meetings Thursday at 4:10. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 3 - Page 4 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 The Weekly Messeng-e-r Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

Among other things that came up for consideration before this meeting was the bill now before the state legislature to introduce mili­tary training into the public schools of Washington: The association went on record as opposed to this bill. This question of military training in the schools is one that should re­ceive thoughtful consideration on the part of every citizen, and it is a ques­tion of special importance to us as teachers. Would military training as COMPETITORS may sell some things for less than YOUR store does, but YOUR STORE sells a lot of things for less than they do. Normal Book Store "Your own store." part of our school course be consistent with the aim of education as we see it? It is argued that the physical training obtained along with the train­ing in military tactics would be worth while. Would the dual organization that Avould be necessary if the military department was to be directed by the government, be a help or a hindrance in the development of an efficient edu­cational system? Let us think on these questions and be prepared to take an" intelligent interest in this movement, which is of such vital im­portance to our schools. A GOOD LOSER TAKES DEFEAT CHEERFULLY A good loser is one who takes his defeat as cheerfully as tho he were the winner. Such a one will buckle the armor on more securely, repair the defective parts, apply the oiled feather to the squeaking places and, with shoulders thrown back and head erect, resolve to "make good." In all the walks of life there are more losers than winners; with the former the scar may be indelible, yet the defeated one will conceal it or, at least, will not expose it. A certain teacher in this common­wealth says: "I never was a loser in the act of obtaining or retaining a po­sition but what I took advantage of the opportunities offered and thus turned the apparent loss into a sub­stantial gain. One illustration is quoted: At one place I was loser in that I failed to retain a position. An­other position with a salary twenty per cent higher was secured and in the vicinity of the new position some land was purchased (just common dirt as is found on highways) which was disposed of at from 100 to 500 per cent profit. Those school district dads have received my sincere thanks for the benefits conferred upon me." Presidential Candidate Hughes, to all outward appearances proved him­self to be a good loser in his loss in the race for the presidency. When he retired at 12:15 election night, he felt certain that he had won the prize which he sought; forty-eight hours later he found himself to be a loser instead of the winner. He congratu­lated his chief opponent for his suc­cess. That Mr. Hughes was disap­pointed, no one will deny; it was prob­ably the greatest disappointment that he ever endured, yet his actions show­ed him to be a good loser. He thus set an example for people in all walks of life, from an unsuccessful candi­date for the presidency to the unfor­tunate one in a game of marbles. WILLIAM BEARDSLEE.

In it, there were no carpets, nor easy chairs, nor luxuries; herbs lined the sides of the spare front parlor, and a poor dresser stood in the kitchen. From this kitchen dresser the widow ate her scant breakfasts, dinners and suppers, with an occasional egg, or, at most, two, to celebrate a holiday. These eggs were laid by Dame Bart-lett, spouse of King Chanticleer, who with him and her six daughters, roamed the widow's yard. Chanticleer went to sleep one night, and close to him slept his dame and Prices Moderate; Five course dinner every evening from 5 to 8 at 60c. Six course Sunday eve­ning at 75c Banquets and Dinners gotten up on short notice. Tables may always be reserved by telephone. Hotel Leopold their six children. He had slept some time, when he groaned a groan and moaned a moan. "Get up! Wake up!" said Dame Partlett. "What ails you? What's the matter?" She shook him, for he was slow to waken. Chanticleer, with a deep sigh, drew himself up and Dame Partlett saw deep, dark hollows under his eyes, and saw a dejected forlornness in the face of her worse half. "I have had a dream," said he. "An uncouth shape, large and yet slender, came skulking toward me. I saw the creature had sharp eyes, perked ears, a long bushy tail, a slinky form and a sharp, pointed snout, withal." "You need a worm," said his prac­tical wife. They went out of the house, side by side, hopping down the steps, and into the spring air. King Chanti­cleer said: "I feel better. I enjoy seeing the fresh green leaves of spring. The morning sunshine clears away the cold from my bones, but I still have a feeling that my dream is a warning." "Nonsense," said his wife. He answered: "I have known of many such things happening to peo­ple, after a dream like mine had warned them." His wife wanted to argue—she did. Then the chickens quoted a little Plato and they went in search of worms. As they scratched the mellow earth in search of its wriggley inhabitants, they were watched by a pair of sharp eyes which peered at them thru the rails of the fence. Far better that Chanticleer had stayed on his beam. The fox skulked in the corner till night. The chickens went to bed at sundown, as all nice chickens should. Then Chanticleer saw a slinking form come in the narrow doorway. He was very startled and nearly lost his equi­librium. He had never seen a fox. From instinct he shunned the pointed-nosed creature as a sailor shuns a rock. "Cluck, cluck," said he in a deep squawk. "Be not alarmed, beautiful bird," said the fox. "As I stood outside I heard a song, as of the angels. I did not intend to come but the song lured me on in spite of myself. It is no won­der you are a. good singer. Your fath­er was also. I knew him intimately." The cock was pleased and accepted this flattery. "And now sing for me," said the fox. Chanticleer threw back his head, shut his eyes and flapped his wings. "Listen," he said; but the fox had him by the throat. His would-be song was changed to a throaty squawk, and the fox was gone, Chanticleer with him. Chanticleer's cries roused his spouse. Her cries roused the widow, and her cries the vicar and so on, till the whole village was in pursuit of the fox; people shouting, hounds baying, chickens crowing. A general bedlam ensued. The cock was frightened, but be-thot himself of a scheme. "Speak to them, Reynard," said he. "You are safe and the woods and your den are at hand. Tell them you are king and they are foolish to try to catch you." The fox obeyed, but no sooner had he opened his mouth than the cock was loose and had flown into a maple by the side of the road. The fox was very foxey and thot by soft words to again win over the cock. So, "Come down," said he. "Let us treat this matter peaceably. I only meant to take you over to my house for dinner. I should have been much pleased to have had you there. I only meant to frighten you a bit that you might enjoy the dinner the more. For 'Sweet is pleasure after pain,'" said he, quoting a little Dryden. "Nay," said the cock, "only idiots are fooled twice. We shall consider the peace movement, but I'll stay right here the while we consider it. We shall follow the policy of watchful waiting."

"Or, better still, Lieutenant, exter­minate the lot." "I can hardly hold the men in check, sir." Aye, the brave lads! They are as anxious as you and I to get at the beasts." A hurry of British shells pour death into the German lines. A lull, then the khaki-clad troops clamber out of their positions in a mad charge. At the brink of the assaulted trenches the captain impales a German ma­chine gunner on his sword. The im­petus of the thrust throws him head­long into the trench, where, striking his head on the hard-trodden floor, the lies stunned. When the captain regains his senses he hears the groans and shrieks of the wounded. To this he pays little attention; many times before has he heard the aftermath of battle. As he looks eagerly about him he sees sol­diers administering to the wounded and reconstructing the shattered trench, and as he recognized the men thus busily engaged as his own, across his face flashes a smile, grim and ex-hultant. However, a gasp directly at his feet attracts his attention. It is the dy­ing struggle of the German soldier whom he has pierced with his sword. In the man's hand is a piece of paper. "Military secrets, perhaps," exclaims the captain, as he snatches it up. The paper written in German, is sploched with blood and dirt. He laboriously makes out the following: " your furlough. "Every evening I watch little Dora run to the corner to meet you, as she used to do when you would return from the factory.

HOW I BECAME A TEACHER (Continued from page i) I was one of those chidlren that all teachers know, precocious in book learning and childish socially. I was occustomed to being in a class of what seemed to me to be men and wo­men. Late one afternoon, in the shadows of the empty halls, one of the boys, to my utter amazement, asked me to go to the next social with him. I loathed sociables. I gasped and said "yes," because, like Aunt Jemima, I didn't know what else to say. I spent the intervening days trying to forget the coming horror. In my mind I settled one thing. If I lived through this experience, I'd have my wits about me and never, never, never say "yes" again. The evening passed and, in my judgment, was an evening of superlative stu­pidity. When the boy, in the innocence of his heart, proposed enthusiastically that we go to the next sociable to­gether, I was ready and replied sweet­ly that I didn't care to. Notwithstanding my inauspicious beginning in this uncatalogued depart­ment of college curriculum, I added to my college course and to my course in music a very comprehen­sive course in this department, with considerable very satisfactory post graduate work. I look back upon all three lines as being of great value to my profes­sional career. I was very patriotic. One day I saw a squad of college boys going down to vote. The leader was one of my chums. He was just twenty-one and going to cast his first vote for presi­dent. They shouted and swung their hats with enthusiasm. It thrilled me as I witched them. I was a better stu­dent than he, could beat him in an ar­gument and loved my country, but when I would be twenty-one I would not be allowed to vote. The thought gave me actual physical pain and it rankled until we won the vote here in Washington. The year after graduation I taught my first school—a little country school three miles from town. Things moved placidly and I could have had the school the next term if I had wanted it, but when I think of that term of work I am always tender hearted towards the poor teacher. I boarded at home during that term and mother took me to and from school in the carriage. On these drives we began definitely my study of bird songs. I had a chance for extraordinary work in nature study, due to my won­derful progressive mother. She had a genius for enjoying outdoor life. She made our home of five acres one of the first bird sanctuaries in the United States. Families of every bird of the prairie nested at Pinewood and we fed and protected them. In addi­tion to the choice stock from the nursery we collected for these five acres every plant, shrub and tree pos­sessing landscape value that we dis covered in our drives. There was al­ways a spade under the buggy seat for emergencies. Then we also had a pond stocked with fish. We could pick up the young ones in our hands if we fed them. If you think there is nothing to see in such a place, watch a parent cat-fish taking care of its young in an overstocked pond! One of our family pleasures in the hot summer days was to drive to the river and have a sunrise breakfast, after which mother and father would fish, my sister would sketch and I would moon about under the trees, botanizing and writing. I had not once given up the plan to be a writer. When we moved to the new town I began teaching in the schools, but I always expected to quit teaching when I had made my success. I read, read, read and wrote. I should have turned it about. The sum­mer I studied Darwin and Emerson was a landmark in my life. When I closed Darwin's "Origin of Species" I felt as though I had just been granted a glimpse into the workshop of God, while Emerson was a spiritual revela­tion to me. I taught with enthusiasm; poured all that I could of my outside studies. "Costly thy habits as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, or gaudy; For the apparel oft' proclaims the man."

I wanted to see the world. 1 wanted to go West, where they paid better salaries and life was worth while. The family could not understand how I could want to live in a dreary boarding house among strangers and teach in preference to living at home and teaching. And I couldn't tell why, either. I only knew that I did. It was the urge of individuality. It is like outgrowing one's clothes. We went to California for a winter, but that did not satisfy me. I wanted to work in the West. On our way home we spent a month in Washington, and stopped at Che-halis. Prof. Forrest was city superin­tendent of the Chehalis schools and he and his wife had been my school­mates in college days. I accepted a position in this school and the family went home without me. The West suited me. I felt myself expanding mentally. Besides teach­ing, I accomplished my first little suc­cess in writing. But at the end of two years I yield­ed to the pleadings of my people and went back to a position in the old school in my home town. This little bit of success in writing taught me how long it was likely to be before I could make a living in that work. You see, my expectation had somewhat subsided since the days of the George Eliot dream. Then the teaching in the West had appealed to my ambition more than teaching in the East. I did not deliberately give up my dreams, but I temporized. I resolved that I Avould push for professional promo­tion until I had reached a definite salary, on which I thought one person could live, then I would be satisfied, •and take time to write again. It is very amusing how many people have made that same bargain with them­selves. Advancement in work is easy enough in the East, but not in salary. From the first I fretted and grieved for the life on this Coast. I'm afraid I was not very gracious to the lonely home folk about again living in the prosaic East. Panicky financial condition at last pushed me into the freedom I fret­ted for. I came here seventeen years ago and most of the time have been "teaching algebra on the Pacific Coast," according to the despised, prophecy. When I reached the salary at which I had promised myself to go hack to my first love, and take up my dream again, I found myself captain of the-family ship and the limit was not enough. So at last I became in my own. dreams what I had long been to the-world, just a "school ma-am." And really, it isn't so bad, after alL IDA AGNES BAKER. Generally speaking, Merle Austine is— Is what?

How and where Western's budgeted money will be used has yet to be determined, but Western's Board of Trustees hopes to have an allocation plan by August, said Jack Cooley, executive director of University Planning and Analysis. The Board of Trustees authorized the maximum increase of 6.7 percent for tuition next year, Cooley said. In-state, undergraduate tuition is $2,833 per year, but it will increase $185 to $3,018 in the fall, Cooley said. "These are unofficial numbers until. Gov. Gary Locke signs the appropriation bill (which disperses funds), but we don't anticipate any changes in those numbers," Cooley said. The budget does not fund all faculty pay raises, which leaves Western with some problems to address. The Legislature mandated a 3.7 percent raise for faculty and staff members for the first year, but the state will only cover 83 percent of the cost, Cooley said. Western will be required to cover the remaining 17 percent in order to meet the legislature's demand. "This leaves Western in a difficult situation," Cooley said. Western must come up with the additional money for faculty pay raises while dealing with the projected increase of utility rates, Cooley said. According to the Energy Conservation Task Force release, Western's utility rates are projected to take more than $1 million from Western's operating budget in 2001-2003 school years than 1999-2001. Cooley said the budget does not provide for the rate increases. The budget also set aside $31 million to increase full-time student enrollment. Before the new budget, Western was committed to reducing the number of new students to be in-line with faculty and Western's accommodations, because Western over enrolled last year, Director of Admissions Karen Copetas said. Last year 2,480 freshmen and 981 transfer students were accepted. This fall, the target number for new freshmen is 2,250 and 950 for transfer students. County seeks lake's mercury source By Mary Flynn THE WESTERN FRONT In an effort to protect Bellingham's drinking water and Lake Whatcom, officials from the City of Bellingham, Whatcom County, and Water District No. 10 are looking for a way to pinpoint the source of mercury in the lake. "We are looking for a consultant to be looking for potential sources," said Erika Stroebel, resources planner for the Whatcom County Water Resources Division. Stroebel said, the county requested proposals from consultants on how to find the source. "The request for proposals described the type of work so that the applicants can describe how they will do the research," she said. Eight contractors have applied, Stroebel said. "I imagine that we would start the project in two to three months at the earliest; maybe the late summer," said Chris Sudden Valley resident David Burmham sport fishes three to four times a week in Lake Whatcom near Basin Three, which tested to have the highest levels of mercury. Burmham regularly catches small-mouth bass from the lake.

The cost of utilities at Western will exceed the budgeted level by about $600,000 for the 2000- 2001 fiscal year, which ends June 30, said Jack Cooley, executive director for University Planning and Analysis. The Washington state Legislature has not provided budget increases to match increasing utilities prices, which means Western is not receiving additional state funding for the expected $1.5 million dollar increase in utility costs over the next two years, Cooley said. In response to rising costs, Western President Karen Morse appointed an all- campus task force to devise ways of reducing energy use on campus.

The Water Shortage Contingency Plan, a supplement to the exiting Bellingham Water System Plan, was passed in response to growing concerns about a statewide drought. Since March 14, when Gov. Gary Locke made his statewide drought declaration, Bellingham has maintained the advisory stage, lowest in the plan's four stages of alert. 'The advisory mode is typically the mode we're in during the summer," said Tony Seman, Bellingham Public Works superintendent of utilities. At this stage, community awareness about the possible shortage and preparation for practical means of conservation is the plan's focus. He said.if demand for water rises considerably during the summer months, voluntary measures for curbing consumption, such as an even/odd day lawn watering schedule, would be necessary. 'If we have a dry fall, that's usually when we see the lake level drop.' Tony Seman Bellingham Public Works superintendent of Utilities While Lake Whatcom's water level is at target height, the autumn months could make conditions more serious. Lack of rain during the summer and water overuse could precipitate a water shortage, Seman said. "If we have a dry fall, that's usually when we see the lake level drop," he said. Whatcom County Council member Dan McShane said the county government hasn't spent much of its time dealing with a potential water shortage. McShane, a member of the Natural Resources Committee, said water conservation in the face of a drought wasn't an issue because of encouraging current conditions such as lake volume. "Its impact on energy is a much larger issue, something we've dealt with," McShane said. "We've cut energy consumption by 30 percent." The water shortage plan states that out of 36 inches of rainfall that Bellingham receives annually, only five inches accumulate between mid- June and mid-September. The city provides approximately 73,000 people with water from Lake Whatcom and the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River. Lower than normal snowfall in the Cascades and an early snow melt this spring might hamper water replenishment from streams and rivers that feed into the lake. Drawing too much water out of the Nooksack River might also negatively affect the area's fishery resources, something the plan hopes to avoid. If conditions worsen considerably, the plan outlines a mandatory regulatory stage and an emergency stage. Mandatory regulations, triggered by a 100 percent increase in demand, would include the shutdown of any "ornamental fountains" that use drinking water, reduction in watering of public parks and baseball fields, and a watering ban on lawns and gardens that have existed for more than 30 days. At the emergency stage, the plan requires water to be drawn out of the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River at the city's diversion dam. Wading pools at public parks would be drained and closed, and lawn watering would be completely prohibited. Developing efficient usage habits for home and small office use is good preparation for a possible shortage, Seman said. Large consumers of water already are aware of the summer's possible strain on resources. "Generally, the commercial and industrial sectors — metered users — are conscious about their consumption," he said. Seman said he remains optimistic that the drought will not hurt Whatcom County was expected earlier this year. Compared to the 1992 drought, the area is in considerably better condition, although that is not necessarily in the case in eastern Washington, Seman said. County searches for contractors to find source of mercury in Lake Whatcom From MERCURY, Page 1 Chesspn, environmental health supervisor for Whatcom Health and Human Services. The current budget for the project is $100,000; however, Chesson said the organizations have not entered into contract negotiations with a consultant yet, the actual cost is uncertain. Though the project's primary goal is to identify the potential sources of mercury in Lake Whatcom sediments and fish tissues, the contractor would also be responsible for other duties and would be asked to make recommendations for source control once they have identified it. Signs around Lake Whatcom warn women of child-bearing age and young children not to eat the contaminated fish they catch there. "Drinking water is a prime concern with this," Bill McCourt, Operations superintendent for Whatcom County Public Works, said. "People will think, 'If these fish live in the water we drink, what does that mean about our drinking water?"' McCourt said. McCourt also said as a water provider, Whatcom County is concerned about deteriorating water quality. "There have been no measurable quantities (of mercury) in finished drinking water," McCourt said. "There have been measurable quantities in the raw water and the bioaccumu-lation in the fish." Presently, none of the agencies know where the mercury is coming from, McCourt said. "Currently we have not begun any source identification," Chesson said. 'People will think, 'If these fish live in the water we drink, what does that mean about our water?'" Bill McCourt Operations Superintendent for Whatcom County Public Works Officials do have their theories, Chesson said. Several potential mercury sources are possible around the lake, he said. "Landfills such as the Y-road landfills, naturally occurring sediments that could have come from the volcanic activity of Mount Baker or coal mining activities of the late 1800s or early 1900s could have disrupted some sediments and sent them into the lake," Chesson said. McCourt said the recently shut-down Georgia-Pacific West, Inc.'s Chlora-Alkalide Plant was a major source of mercury emissions in Whatcom County. County council member and geologist Dan McShane said he favors the theory of airborne mercury as well. He said he believes the low levels of mercury actually detectable in the lake water indicate an airborne pollutant. He said these mercury levels are common in lakes around the United States. McShane also said he believes it would be worthwhile to inspect creeks that feed into the lake to see if they might be where the mercury comes from. "Blue Canyon Creek discharges into the south end of the lake and there used to be coal mines there," McShane said, adding that he would be surprised if a point source for the mercury was found because of the low levels. Steve Hood, an environmental engineer for the Department of Ecology, said the mercury could come from a number of sources. He said airborne mercury could come from G-P or people breaking florescent lighting tubes. The mercury also could have come from global sources, as people put a lot of Mercury into the air, Hood said. i ^ ^ i S K I i ^ i l i i i K i i i H i i l K i i i i i i S S S S i smallmouth bass 1 The ^festern Front is published twice weekly in fall, winter and spring; once a week in summer session.

Passersby could not help but stop and listen as the sound of an electric violin soaring above jazzy bass, African percussion and electric guitar. Guarneri Underground quartet played its musical world tour as the first of Western's Noon Concert series. Forced inside by drizzling weather, the group dazzled listeners . "Come rain or shine we will always try to bring the music to you," band leader Jeffrey Sick said. Jumping from the beats of Puerto Rico, to a piece that honored one of the band's inspirations, Carlos Santana, the moved its listeners around the world with Bob Marley's song, "I Shot the Sheriff, and a little bit of Celtic magic from beneath the fairy hill. Sick said his band sounds like "the musical version of the travel channel," . Meridith Murray, a local businesswoman, read about the group and brought her boyfriend to hear the show. "I love all kinds of music, especially world music," Murray said. The couple enjoyed the music so much they took their shoes off, moved some table and began dancing to the eclectic beat. 'Come rain or shine we will always try to bring the music to you said, Jeffrey Sick GuarneriBand Leader Children from the Fairhaven daycare joined the couple and those who stayed in their seats were tapping their feet and clapping with the music. Both Sick and the band's bass player, Mikel Rollins, ventured into the crowd, kneeling down to entertain the kids, and engaging the small crowd. Combining an all-star cast of musicians, the band members each bring a different musical influence. Leading the band's whirlwind tour is Sick's electric violin and flamboyant showmanship. "Music is all about language and the best way to learn about music is to listen to people who really now how to speak the language," Sick said. Listening to musicians like Santana and Paul Simon, Sick got the idea for a band that would have the whole world as its stage. Combining his training on the violin and a love for all kinds of music, Sick formed the band in 1994 with only one other violinist. The band has grown since then and gone through a lot of changes. Sick has never held an audition. He found his other band members by talking to people who had a sound he liked. The band members "found each other like kindred spirits," he said.

The Outback? is home to Summer in the Outback - a week-long outdoor environmental education summer camp for children. The camp is sponsored by the Outdoor Experiential Learning Site and Bellingham Roots and Shoots, which is a non-profit program established by Jane Goodall that focuses on children learning about nature. Kids from local schools come each day to learn about and interact with nature. The camp is designed to give kids an opportunity to learn to love being outside and love the environment, said Jessa Friesen, Summer in the Outback camp co-director. "I want them to connect with nature," Friesen said. During the camp, the kids are separated into four groups by age. The campers are aged 5 to 13, and each chooses a nature name like Eagle, Star or Cat Litter, Friesen said. Each group has a theme for the week and is assigned a certain area of the Outback, called a quadrant, to cultivate. Within their quadrants, the campers participate in lessons based on their particular themes about nature. Groups learn about the natural resources within their quadrants and how to take care of them. For example, one group is studying soil while spending time in the garden and learning about what comes from the earth. "This gives them a sense of ownership," Friesen said. The groups partake hi one field trip each day and engage in various activities like a variety show for their parents, nature hikes and. a sleepover at the Outback where theyjhave ca^mjzfixes, night hikes and Evan Mathews stretches his face in frustration while playing a game Photos by Chris Goodnow/The Western Front Galen O'Moore, 9, dips his paintbrush for his painting of a bald eagle. The camp had many arts and crafts opportunities for the kids. "There are so many activities we don't get to them all," said Heather Gosnell, a camp counselor and Fairhaven student. "There's so much to do here." With the garden, performing stage, tree forts and natural arts and activities, the kids love to be in the Outback, Friesen said. The directors ..chose not to apply too much structure or pressure o"n the campers to learn, but decided to allow the kids to be- free in nature, Friesen said. '.'.-'• -?It just "feels so good to see the kids having a good time/' said Kristy Clark, Summer in the Outback co-director. 'It's too bad adults don't get to play more." Clark said Suinmerin the Outback is about enjoying the outdoors and creating a connection with nature. "I want them to make a connection with the natural world and have a positive experience in the outdoors," Clark said. "(The counselors) make it fun while you're learning, and you don't even know you're learning," said Shayla Jillson-Lucas, a camper. Clark said she wants the kids to feel like they belong in nature and not feel separated from it. Along with environmental education the counselors also teach the kids about respect and communication , Clark said. "There's a loss of play and loss of connection with the outdoors and the Outback creates an opportunity for kids who might not have access to the outdoors," Clark said. Friesen and Clark teach a five-credit 300-level course at Fairhaven College that students who want to become counselors for the camp need to take. This is the first year that student counselors have earned credit for the course, Friesen said. This the third year of the Summer in the Outback it has been the most successful, Friesen said. The camp has eight group leaders, two directors and 45 campers. The students met twice a week for listening to environmental education readings, practicing camp activi- Right: Nikolas Kelly, 6, grimaces as he hits a ball at the Fairhaven Outback camp Tuesday.

As camp counselors, the students were responsible for creating their entire curriculum for the week, organizing activities and purchasing supplies for camp. "We want the students to have a full experience," Friesen said. The student counselors turn to the directors for advice on how to work with the campers. They meet every morning before camp to discuss the previous day and what improvements can be made as a group and individually, Friesen said. This year the camp was able provide scholarships to 10 campers with the assistance of monetary donations from Fairhaven College and organic food donations from the Community Food Co-Op in Bellingham. "My goal is to never turn anyone away," Friesen said. Clark said the campers could come to the Outback anytime. Summer in the Outback began June 25 and ends June 29. The camp runs daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The camp is open to all children and costs $70 for the week. Created in the 1970s by Fairhaven students as a place for gardening. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 5 ---------- June 28,2001 SPORTS NCAA II Intramural The Western Front • 5 Western's high school football camp starts Head Coach Rob Smith teaches players about teamwork By Teresa Moreau THE WESTERN FRONT A loud roar emanated from Carver Gymnasium Wednesday as 800 high school football players from California to Alaska attended Western's football camp to become better players. Before campers took the field, the head coach of Western's football team, Rob Smith hyped them up. When Smith commanded a hit, campers were to crouch to their best defensive position until he said to relax. And that is what they did. When the helmets colored red, white and blue took over the football field they were split into varsity and junior varsity teams. The teams will played a variety of seven-on- seven or eleven-o- eleven games. Justin Odom, viking tight end and his teammates instructed the campers on their respective positions. Odom, a transfer student from Idaho State, attended Western's camp the summer before his High school senior year. "The camp helps players get better and get along as a team," Odom said. Another player returning to camp is Juneau High School Senior Eric Tollefson who is an offense receiver and a strong safety. This is his third year traveling from Juneau, Alaska for camp. Tollefson said that he has learned better reads. He said he enjoys camp because it's not about individual talent. "It is all about team effort," Tollefson said. His coach Ray Bradly said camp is a worthwhile because it gives players jump-start on the season. He said he would have brought more players if he could. "It is a great program," Viking tight end, Adam Snel said. Snel has been playing for Western for three years. " T he football camp has grown from 60 to 800 players in the past 12 years," Smith said. Smith lettered for three years at the University of Washington and played in the 1978 Rose bowl. He came to Western after spending five years as top assistant at Renton High School. Now, Smith is in his 12th year of coaching at Western and has been named one Western's Coaches of the century. Smith has lead the Vikings to .500 or better seasons for the past nine years. And his commands for the first day of camp were heard. All day long campers drilled, took hits and kept their heads up. Then at 9 p.m. seniors ran their sprints and got their heights and weights checked. They returned to their dorms in Fairhaven or Ridgeway for lights out at 10:30, when they could finally relax.

Chestnut • 65O-3650 BWESTERN H i WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Campus recreation activities will continue through summer quarter By Cheryl Baptista THE WESTERN FRONT Summer quarter has begun, barely anyone is around, the campus is dead. However, this summer the Campus Recreation Center is offering many activities and classes that are both physically challenging and entertaining. The Campus Recreation Center in Carver Gym is offering intramural leagues, non-credit classes, tournaments and open recreation use of campus facilities, secretary supervisor Katie Stiles said. Campus Recreation is responsible for running Carver Gym, non-varsity team sport clubs and the handling of gym reservations. Stiles said, "the activities get people together to meet new people." The summer intramural leagues include softball on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and soccer on Mondays and Wednesdays. Western students may sign up as teams or the Office of Campus Recreation can assign them" to a team. Non-credit step aerobics, yoga, and Thai kickboxing classes start this week. The classes cost between $20 and $25 and are two or three days a week. Campus Recreation will host a variety of tournaments this summer. The golf tournament will be on July 20, croquet on July 19 and 2-on- 2 outdoor volleyball will be July 16 and 18. Open recreation is also available this summer for tennis, rac-quetball, table tennis and basketball. The open recreation hours of availability and location depends on the activity. Open recreation is for all students, faculty and staff members and allows people to use the campus facilities during designated times. "Anyone can come, everyone is invited," Stiles said. Although there are fewer students during the summer, a greater percentage of those students participate in Campus Recreation activities, especially open recreation. During the summer people become more active and make use of the gym, Western senior and intramural supervisor Lauren Fode said. Sign-ups for all activities and additional information is available at the Office of Campus Recreation at Carver Gym 101, which can also be reached by phone at 650-3677. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 6 ---------- 6 • The Western Front OPINIONS Letters Editorials Tune 28,2001 Summer parking fees utterly ridiculous Summer session has begun. Empty dorms and a few students roaming Red Square mark summer at Western. But one thing is the same as the rest of the year — students still need to buy parking passes. There is never a break for students when it comes to parking. When one drives to campus he or she can see plenty of unused spaces in the C parking lot and campus residence lots. The campus residence lots stay primarily unused during the summer. Instead of parking in these empty lots students are forced to either take an inconvenient bus or become parking vultures and scout for a free parking spot outlying the campus. To purchase parking permits, however, is absurd during the summer. Parking rates are only discounted $10-20 from a regular quarter for a nine-week summer session. The cheapest parking lot is 16CR, which sits next to 21st Street. One should note that it would still be a hike to campus. Parking rates during a regular quarter help encourage students to find other modes of transportation. During the summer, however, Whatcom Transportation Authority buses run less frequently to campus. So, hopping a bus to campus becomes more difficult. Another reason to have high parking rates is to create competition for the spaces. In the summer, fewer students are enrolled according to estimates the Registrar's office gets. During the summer last year, 3,005 students attended Western. This summer it is projected to be the same. Western has plenty of space for students to park. Out of 24 parking lots, students are allowed to purchase permits for only four of those The only detriment of student parking for free on campus Js that people may lose their jobs. The Parking and Transportation Department is self sustaining and uses the money generated from permits to improve parking lots and pay salaries of Parking and Transportation management. If one actually drives in these parking lots they would notice and feel that these lots are riddled with potholes. Potholes that seem to be there for several quarters and never filled. So, if Parking and Transportation Services are unwilling to fix the problems, maybe employees should take a summer vacation. According to parking policy, most faculty and student parking lots are opened to the public to park for free after 5 p.m. The reasoning is that there are fewer people on campus at that time, thus lots are bare. Summer is the 5 p.m. of a regular quarter. Hardly any students are on campus. To pay for summer parking is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

And we quote: 'I think if s the best piece of legislation to come from the dim-witted legislators in a long time/ -Rotto Van Slyke, Bellingham insurance agent on the new teen drivers law Safety first, cell phones second Taber Streur COMMENTARY All too often, our minds are clouded by the, distractions of daily life while we drive. The focus of driving becomes second to figuring out if we are going to ask that new girl in class out or not. We rock out to new music like Linkin Park that gets our ^adrenaline rushing and makes us scream as we drive down Bill McDonald Parkway with the other college students. It seems that the last thing we need in a car is another distraction. Cellular phones have been coming under fire recently because they are said to be distracting to use while driving. On June 25,the New York State Senate set a precedent by banning hand-held cellular phones while driving by a vote of 125-19. A recent poll by Quinnipiac University showed that 87 percent of New York voters supported the idea. The law will be backed by a $100 fine starting in November. 'It seems that the last thing we need in a car is another distraction.'' The New York Ban is a practical safeguard that should be followed by other states. In the current state of technology, with voice-activated dialing and hands-free headsets, the problem of being distracted while driving is easily solved. The New York ban allows for these earpieces, but forbids driver to actually hold the phones while driving. "The banning of cellular phones would lead to far fewer accidents on the road," Western senior Heather Bartek said. "People could and need to pay more attention to their driving skills rather than their communication skills while driving." Bartek, like so many other Western students, said she finds cellular phones easy to obtain, cheap to use and too convenient not to have with her at all times. All of us have seen the effects that cellular phones have on a person's concentration, and how some of us don't need any more distractions from driving. The time may come when people will laugh that we actually had to have a hand-held device. Until that time, however, all states should implement similar bans. This hand- held cellular phone ban would make for less dangerous drivers on the road, which means more lives saved and more girls and guys at the bars and in classes for us all to worry about asking out. How will you spend your tax refund? Tamara Harvey COMMENTARY President Bush has found the ultimate way to gain the affection and political allegiance of America's taxpayers tax rebate checks. Everyone who paid taxes this year will receive a check. The Internal Revenue Service will send out letters telling the amount of your check and when you can expect to receive it. Checks will be mailed according to the last two numbers of your social security number. Single taxpayers will receive as much as $300, single parents who head the household as '(O)ur government did not create a plan to use the money in a way that would improve the shortfalls of our country' much as $500 and married couples as much as $600. Supposedly, this is just the beginning of a $1.35 trillion tax-cut plan that Bush wants to enact over the next ten years — assuming he stays in office. No one can deny the happiness felt as we all anxiously wait to receive our. checks by mail. I will be faithfully checking my mailbox as my arrival date nears. Nothing is better than old, hard cash to spend at will. What is depressing is that our government, did not create a plan to use the money in a way that would improve some of the shortfalls of our country. Schools, homeless shelters and medical facilities could benefit from additional funds intended for technology or research. Is a little pocket change more important to us Americans? Though some frown at the fact that, like most of Bush's plans, the wealthy benefit most from the tax refund, people will be smiling when it is their turn to cash in. We have two options when our checks arrive: We can spend them wisely or consider them a late "birthday present" from the government One must decide whether to spend the check on rent and bills, of a sparkling glitter belt to spice up a dull wardrobe. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 7 ---------- June 28,2001 Opinions The Western Front • 7 Underage drivers are protected by new Law Greg Woehler COMMENTARY The faces of people waiting at the Department of Licensing office in Bellingham on Wednesday looked as gloomy as the weather outside. Most of the seats were taken and about 15 people stood at the back of the room, rolling their eyes and shuffling their feet, waiting for their numbers to be called. DOL offices around the state are seeing a sharp increase in the number of applicants for driver's licenses as teens try to avoid new restrictions that will begin July 1st. The laws aim to make Washington's roads safer by limiting when drivers under 18 may drive and dictating who may ride with them. The laws are unfair and heavy-handed; they punish good drivers as well as bad simply based on their age. They are also completely necessary and justified. Driving is a privilege, not a right. With the possible exceptions of guns and football, nothing is closer to the average American's heart than dri-ving. Manifest Destiny is woven permanently into our DNA; deep down, we all want to be Richard Petty or Mario Andretti. We yearn to expand, explore and travel. We look at driving as a divine gift passed down from on high when we turn 16. But Washington roads are getting crowded and, inevitably, as the population grows, privileges must be sacrificed. Statistics clearly show that teens are the most accident-prone group of motorists. They have more than twice as many fatal car accidents as all other age groups combined. "For decades, auto fatalities have been the number one killer for 15 to 20-year-olds," said Rollo Van Slyke, a Farmer's Insurance Group agent in Bellingham. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, 520,000 teens were injured in car accidents in 1999 and 4,900 teens were killed. "That's an average of 13 deaths every day,"Van Slyke said. One of the new rules says new* drivers may not be on the road between 1 and 5 a.m. without someone 25 or older in the car. Another rule states that drivers between. 16 and 18 may not have any passengers under the age of 20 in the car unless they are immediate family members. If drivers under 18 get two moving violations, their license will be revoked for six months. "It's totally unfair," 16-year-old Jeremy Bonner said as he waited at the DOL to take his driving test. He scheduled his test weeks ago to make sure he beat the deadline. "I haven't even gotten my license yet, and they want to punish me for something I didn't even do. Sorry, kid, life ain't always fair. "I'm a good driver," Bonner said, emphatically. "I get good grades, I don't do stupid stuff. I'm not gonna turn into an idiot just because I have my friends in the car." Van Slyke said he was well aware of this claim among teenagers. "They'll say it makes no difference who they have in the car," he said. "But I can show you time and time again, teens get in cars with friends and it's an accident waiting to happen." Washington is hardly alone in buckling down on teen drivers. In fact, they're late getting on the bandwagon. Thirty-two states have already passed similar laws and 12 more are considering them. Van Slyke said there has been a 60 percent drop in teen driving fatalities in states that already have the laws. Besides making roads safer, the laws may have a slightly positive effect on the checkbooks of Washington drivers. He said the new laws aren't likely to lower insurance premiums for older drivers, but rates might not increase as quickly. "There's no way for insurance companies to charge teen drivers their fair share," Van Slyke said. "It would cost too much. We all subsidize teen drivers." When asked what he'd say to teens who may think the state is picking on them, he said, "The new laws are either gonna save your life or one of your close friends. Are we picking on them? No. The legislators are trying to save lives. "I think it's the best piece of legislation to come from the dim-wit legislators in a long time," Van Slyke said. |l;i||||Pesteni:;;M||| c/o the Opinions editor B^^nraiUiMSH westernfront@cc.wwu.edu m The Western Front reserves the rightto mar and libel.

The ECTF released a memo to the Western community May 29, stressing the importance of reducing energy and meeting Gov. Gary Locke's 10 percent reduction in energy consumption at each state-run agency. According to the memo, utilities will cost Western $1 million more during 2001- 2003 than they did during 1999-2001. The first step toward 'Quick fixes have been meeting the 10 percent , . . ^ gt;at, reduction, according to done in the past; now its the committee, is voluntary reduction. Employees and students were asked to turn off lights, shut down computers and unplug unused electronic equipment, especially during the peak hours between 8-10 a.m. and 4-8 p.m. Along with education on voluntary reduction, Western started making short- term operational changes such as not lighting sculptures at night and reducing heat in each building by two degrees. The second step will be making major operational changes that would affect building uses and scheduling. One proposed idea is extending Thanksgiving break to a week. "I think there were other, better ways of saving energy than shutting down for a week," Western graduate Megan Herink said. "I am paying for my education and I want to get all of the hours and time w i t h t e a c h ers." T h e final step in reducing energy use will be facility modifications. Although it is an important step in conservation, the facility projects will take funding that is not currently available. "Quick fixes have been done it the past," ECTF Chairman Bill Managan said. "Now it is going to take renovations which cost cash," he added. going to take renovations which cost cash' Bill Managan ECTF Chairman MyWestern.com opens this fall From MYWESTERN, Page 1 Larry Gilbert said the goal of the MyWestern.com Web site is to integrate information pertinent to Western students.

Show more1983_0628 ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 1 ---------- Olympia responds Faculty receive salary hike By PEGGY LOETTERLE Western's Board of Trustees, in a special meeting on June 20, adopted a plan to increase the salaries of Western's full-time facultymembers by 4 to 10 percent beginning June 30. It is the first salary increase in 18 months. Inaddition, the Legislature has appropriated nearly $1.9 million to bring Western salaries closer to salarylevels at Eastern Washington University. Those increases f probably will start in September, said Paul Ford, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The Legislature expects us to raise salaries tothat equal at Eastern. We have to figure out how much more money to give for raises in September,"Ford said. Gerson Miller, chairman of the faculty welfare and salary committee, said the committeehas recommended that the additional money be distributed on an equal basis on September 15.Faculty members at Eastern currently receive an average WESTERN FRONT Western WashingtonUniversity, Bellingham, Wash. Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Vol. 75, No. 35 salary of about $30,700, whileWestern's average salary is about $28,740, Ford said. "Even after the 7 percent increase in June, faculty still will receive about $1,500 a year less," he said. Milton Kreiger, head of the American F e d e r a t io n of Teachers at Western, said the across-the-board increase won't be fair to all staff members. "It ismy impression that the people at the higher levels will come out a lot better than people at the lowerlevels. The AFT will look at the salary schedule as a major issue next year," he said. The Juneincreases will be allocated several ways. About 317 faculty members will receive a step in pay—anaverage 3 percent increase—as well as a 4 percent cost-of-living increase. Sixty-four faculty membersalso qualify for a merit increase of 4 percent, bringing the total possible increases to 10 percent. Merit increases are awarded for service above and beyond that required for ordinary step increases and arebased on evaluations of teaching, scholarship and service. Eighty-seven faculty members will receiveonly the 4 percent cost-of-living increase because they didn't want to undergo a review for a salaryincrease, Ford said. Distribution of the $1.9 million will increase salaries by 4 to 6 percent more, Fordsaid. A plan for allocation of the money should be ready by the fall meeting of the trustees. WesternPresident G. Robert Ross said the increases apparently are the result of Western's arguments to theLegislature about the inequality of funding among state universities. Ross said, in a previous interview,that Western students and faculty had been shortchanged in state appropriated funds. Western'sstudent services and, physical plant operations didn't fare as well as faculty in thisyear's legislativesession, however, and will fall one million dollars short on money, Ford said. Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, is working on plans to reduce the effects of the cut, Ford said. Cost-saving idea wins top award By CAROLYN CASEY and VICKISIGGS Although she initially was. facedwith reluctance, Dorothea Kochajda waited six years to prove her method of floor care could saveWestern's maintenance staff both time and money. This month her persistance paid off, winning a$10,000 award for Western and reducing costs by nearly $80,000 a year. Kochajda, building servicessupervisor, developed a revolutionary natural-finish floor care technique that eliminates the need for the costly and dreary jobs of waxing, stripping and sealing Western's 80,000 square feet of resilient tileflooring. The mood of the management six years ago was in favor of staying with traditional floor care,which meant waxing, stripping and sealing of resilient floors, so Kochajda's suggestion was ignored, said Bob Hascall, physical plant director. Last year, when Hascall started work, Kochajda brought her floor technique to his attention, he said. "I was so intrigued by the concept that I wanted to start trying ithere immediately." Her method eliminates past floor care and replaces it with a three-part buffing andburnishing technique. A progression of stripping, scrubbing and buffing pads is used in conjunction witha 330-rpm buffer. Heat from the friction seals the floor surface, producing a hardened and highlypolished surface that never again needs a sealer or a wax to maintain its appearance, Hascall said.Kochajda said she sees this method as a morale booster for the custodians because they won't have tostrip floors again. "Stripping floors was our worst job," she said. Western President G. Robert Ross flew to New Orleans earlier this month to receive the $10,000 national award given by the NationalAssociation of College and University Business Officers and the United States Steel Foundation. "That's not the first idea that Dorothea has come up with for cost savings. Her contributions personally andtechnically have been very valuable to the university," Hascall said. Western's custodians beganusing the new technique last October, Hascall said. "The results were remarkable." He said the yearlysavings will be used to restore some services that were eliminated by budget cuts. The award moneyprobably will be used to start a fund rewarding Western's employees for innovative cost-savingtechniques, he said. Since Western won the award,, several universities expressed an interest inlearning the new technique. Kochajda went to the University of Washington to teach them themethod they now use on their floors. The process has been copyrighted by Western and furtherinquiries should go to the physical plant.

Peter Elich, formerpsychology department chairman, was selected from a pool of 11 candidates. He will assume theposition Friday. Tall and muscular, Elich looks as if he coaches football, which he did at BellinghamHigh School. "He is a highly regarded faculty member and statesman, who will provide strong leadershipfor the College of Arts and Sciences during this transitional period," said Executive Vice President and Provost James Talbot. Elich will serve as acting dean' for one year. The College of Arts andSciences has 22 departments and employs two-thirds of Western's faculty. It is the hub of theuniversity. "One year on the job is too short a time to show your performance," Elich said, "but thenthe School of Education, the School of Business and Economics and the School of Fine andPerforming Arts all have acting deans, too." He said he will make no changes in the college right away."Certainly no radical changes in the structure of the organization that might make things difficult for apermanent dean, although I must administer the College as though I were permanent." Elich said hesees his duties as dean are to provide effective management of financial resources, to participate indecisions for personnel, such as promotions and tenure, to provide leadership wherever possible, andmost important, to ensure that West- Marshy Elich named new heads of colleges Peter Elich, newlyappointed acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. era maintains a solid liberal arts core. "Theleast appealing part of administration to me is the clerical work. Nevertheless, it is a highly importantaspect of administering. The part I like best is working with people as a facilitator — creatingconditions so(' that people can develop their competency," Elich explained. Elich will replace JamesDavis,, who announced in April his. resignation as dean after nine years at the post. This fall Davis willinstruct political science. Elich has been at Western since • 1961 and was first named chairman ofWestern's psychology department in 1972. He is a graduate of the University of Washington, earned a master's degree from Western in 1959 and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oregon in1961. Before West-em, he taught at Whatcom Junior High School and Bellingham High School. He is anative of Bellingham. By DEANNA SHAW David Marsh, of the art department, has been namedacting dean of the College of Fine and Performing Arts for the 1983- 84 academic year. He willreplace William Gregory, who has accepted a Ful-bright award to teach and conduct research at the National Institute of the Arts in Taipei, Taiwan. The appointment, effective Sept. 1, was announced byJames Talbot, Western's executive vice president and provost. "David Marsh is a veteranadministratorwho demonstrated g success while serving as art iS department chairman in the Q 1970s,"Talbot said. "He is a well S known artist with a national and c international reputation." is Marsh joinedWestern's art £ faculty in 1957 after teaching in ja-junior and senior high schools in o Washington andCalifornia. He j§ served as an art department i (X chairman from 1966 to 1974 and again during the1980-81 academic year. Marsh said he plans to continue work toward one of Gregory's majorgoals—better communications between the three departments of the college: art, music andtheater/dance. A number of measures already have been adopted to strengthen interdepartmentalrelations, including the formation of a faculty advisory committee composed of five members from thethree departments, more frequent executive committee meetings and quarterly faculty meetings,he said. Marsh said he is enthusiastic about the future of the college, which currently has 500 to 600majors and 36 full-time faculty members. He said he thinks a trend toward an interest in the arts isbeginning, noting this is traditionally the pattern after a concentrated interest in the sciences.Gregory said although the college's growth has been curtailed because of the limited number offaculty, its graduates are in demand and job placement has been excellent. More than 90 percent ofmusic education majors have been placed. Art and theater/dance graduates also have fared well andGregory expressed surprise at the high percentage of these graduates who are now employed intheir major field or a related area. Both Marsh and Gregory said they are pleased with Western's newbudget. Although individual departmental budgets have yet to be decided, Marsh said he thinks that, with the overall budget set for the next two years by the Legislature, some sensible planning can takeplace. "This is the most stability we've had since the early '70s," he said. Marsh predicted that his newduties will restrict his time to produce art. Marsh's watercolors and other works have been exhibitednationwide and are in a number of public and private collections, including those of WestminsterCollege in Fulton, Missouri and the Instituto Mexicano-Norte Americano in Guadalajara, Mexico. Marshhas a bachelor's degree from Central Washington State College and a master's degree from theUniversity of Oregon. Bookstore remodelling next week By DAN RAMSAY The Student CooperativeBookstore is getting a facelift this summer and the confusing lines and inefficient use of space will soonbe things of the past. "We haven't put any money into this facility since it was built," said'George Elliott,bookstore manager, who called this project a tremendous help.

Most of the work will becosmetic, Elliott said, with new lighting, new carpets and additional display space being added to help upgrade the facility. In addition to the new lights and carpets, the Post Office will be relocated to thearea that is now the entrance and the entrance will be moved to the front-center of the building. Also,mechanical improvements and the installation of floor and ceiling tiles will be part of the remodel, Elliot said. The cost of the project was estimated to be about $300,000 before the bidding was opened onMarch 21. Much to the suprise of Elliott and the Associated Students, who had approved thespending, all seven bids submitted were below that amount.

Construction is scheduled to begin on July 5 and be completed on or beforeSeptember 7. When completed, the renovated bookstore will have 20 percent more selling spaceand a more efficient cash register setup, Elliott said. Complaints from students who are forced to wait in one line to buy books and then wait in another line to buy general merchandise are sure todecrease, he said. The new set-up will allow for buying books and general merchandise at oneregister. With the warm weather and decreased enrollment, construction will move swiftly, Elliott said. A three week closure at the end of the nine-week session, which is the usual summer schedule, willsee the finishing touches completed in time for the fall rush. Bookstore hours will remain the same upto that point. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 3 ---------- Western Front 3 Tuesday, June 28,1983 Huxley grad program may be offered winter By MARGARETCARLSON Huxley College of Environmental Studies will offer a graduate program, beginning the winter of 1984, if Western's Board of Trustees approves the recommendation by the Council for Post-secondary Education. Earlier this month, the CPE approved the program that has been in planningstages since 1980. Huxley Dean Richard Mayer said if the board accepts the plan, the graduate program will be offered winter quarter. - The graduate program would offer a master of science degree inenvironmental science to anyone with a bachelor's degree in one of the sciences and an interest in theenvironment, Mayer said. He said the master's program is "the most exciting development in Huxleysince it began in 1968." Mayer said the program is the first of its kind in the state. Although graduateprograms in environmental science are offered by other institutions in this region, the Huxley program isunparalleled. Students will have a choice of three areas of concentration: wildlife toxicology, ecosystemprocesses and environmental chemistry, a cooperative program between Huxley and Western'schemistry department. Each student must take a minimum of 45 credits, including a thesis. No othercollege or university in Washington offers a specialized graduate program emphasizing research inthe areas of Huxley's concentration. Mayer said the research students do for their thesis will linkHuxley and Western with environmental problem-solving in the region. Students will research problems such as acid rain, water-quality, the toxic effect of pesticides and development around LakeWhatcom. By conducting environmental research in our community, Mayer said he hopes to attractexternal funding from the state and federal governments, industry, private businesses7 andfoundations. Huxley's program also differs from other graduate programs in the region by requiringstudents to develop their own plan of study. Students work individually with an adviser to plan a course of study to meet their goals. Although Huxley has received about 250 letters asking about a master'sprogram, Mayer said he expects only about 12 students to enroll the first quarter and that eventuallyenrollment may be limited to 25. Alumni's parents give Western $75,000 land By DAN RAMSAYProperty vallued at approximately $75,000 was donated to Western by a Vancouver, Washington couplewhose son is a Western graduate. George and Sara Holzman donated the property, which is to be sold,with the proceeds from the sale used to maintain, improve and further Western's academic programs andactivities with special attention to biology, chemistry and their related fields. Their son, ThomasHolzman, graduated from Western in 1974 with a bachelor of science degree in biology. He went on toearn a Ph.D. in biochemistry and has just completed post-doctoral studies at Texas A M University. Hecurrently is employed by the Upjohn Corporation. George Holzman retired from Shell Oil Company in1980 after managing Shell's Anacortes refinery for about a year. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and wasgeneral manager of all Shell refineries during the 1970s. The property is located in Anacortes and divided into eight lots, Sara Holzman said, from her home in Vancouver last Friday. "It's not waterfront property," she said, "It's primarily a rock with beautiful views of the Canadian Rockies and the Guemes Channel." She explained that her husband dealt with Western on different occasions and he felt that theproceeds from this land would help the school. Since their son was a graduate of Western, theyespecially hoped to help the areas he studied in. "This very generous gift by the Holzmans will provide acontinuing benefit to Western and its present and future students," said Western President G. RobertRoss.

North American Indian photos now on display By DON HUDDLESTON Acollection of rare photographs by Edward S. Curtis is currently on display in the Viking UnionGallery. The photographs are from the original portfolios of Curtis' 20- volume work, "The North Ameri;(can Indian". ' Curtis, who thought the American Indian was a vanishing race, began recording allavailable information about Indian culture in 1896. He estimated the project would take ten years. Afterten years, the enormous undertaking was not only unfinished, but Cur-itis had run out of money. Thelegendary J. Pierpont Morgan stepped in and financed the iremainder of Curtis' research. By 1930 theproject was completed. Curtis had studied more than 80 tribes and taken more than 40,000 pictures.The 20-volume set collected dust for 40 years after it was published. In 1971, the Pierpont Librarypresented a major exhibition pf Curtis' work. Curtis, who died in 1952 at age 84, was finallyrecognized. Nearly all of Curtis' exposures were made on glass or copper plates. The portfolios wereprinted on a special Japanese vellum, a fine parchment made of animal skin, and are in surprisinglygood condition. The Curtis exhibit is taken from the collection of Louis Flury and Company's Edward S.Curtis Gallery in Seattle.

TheLegislature's recent injection of $1.9 million into the pocketbooks of Western's faculty will bring Westernone step closer to its goal of achieving parity with Eastern Washington University. More importantlyperhaps, faculty members will receive long-awaited raises. Administrators, faculty members and students who have spent long hours in Olympia convincing budget-weary lawmakers that Western deserves atleast equal funding among the regional universities now have seen their efforts pay off. The additionalmoney specially earmarked for Western's faculty is the direct result of Western's pitch to legislatorsabout the inequality of funding among state universities. Meanwhile, beleagured faculty memberssubsisting on salaries rapidly losing the race with inflation now have salaries that are — gasp, puff —lessening the distance. Not only do the salary boosts offer financial support, but moral and practicalencouragement as well. Legislators have recognized Western's unequal financial status by backing whatis any university's most vital resource: its faculty members. On the practical side, additional money willenable Western to attract exceptional instructors to its classrooms, as well as retain the outstandingmembers of Western's faculty. The salary increases are a good sign. At least we know that someonedown there is listening to someone u p h e r e . . . . In the meantime, however, this might be a good timefor students to ask their professors for a loan Get those cards and letters in Western's summerquarter hosts attendees from all levels of education, from freshmen through graduate students to teaching professionals come back for a few more credits of brushing up and fleshing out. Summer quarter, withabout one-third the enrollment of a traditional academic quarter, could perhaps be compared to a seminar class with the possibilities of discussion and close interaction enhanced by the smaller numbers ofstudents. A potentially valuable forum for ideas — easily accessible and widely read — is the Frontletters column. This past year, controversies ranging from the efficacy of Christianity to the fair treatmentof "air band" contestants have raged forweeks at a time, pitting students against each other with aminimum of third-party interference.

Norman, the boy's father, knew his youngest son was prone to take on outrageous endeavors, andhoped Brian's obsession with the rather conspicuous vehicle would fade like the rest of his childhoodprojects. A scarring childhood experience involving a \ grandmother and a hearse caused the boy'sstepmother to be a bit wary of the 15-foot automobile parked behind her home. Both parents agreedthe coffin containing the skeleton of the old Indian woman had to go. The back porch was no place tostore a body, they said, and the car's former passenger was left to fend . for herself at the local haunted house. It wasn't that Brian was obsessed with death; on the contrary, he looked upon thepermanent sleep with great amusement, and treated the subject accordingly. Girls reluctant toenter the "deathmobile" were reminded that they eventually would take their last ride in one anyway.People who would marvel at the notoriety of the car and question the sanity of the driver , would beacknowledged with a Gordon Weeks Editor shrug and "it gets me around." But the car wasn't meant to t r a n s p o r t chicken-hearted females or gawky passersby. The , hearse was purchased from aHalloween haunted house to amuse Brian and his friends, and if gas was in the mammoth tank,everyone from the-girl at the McDonald's drive-in window to the local baseball team would be theirvictims. The sight of a black-curtained funeral car has strange effects on people. Most conjure images of Herman Munster or Edgar Allen Poe; a youngster, figuring this rare-looking automobile was of someimportance, saluted it. Death is the Great Unknown, and everyone wants to know what has lurked (or islurking) in the back-end of the over-sized Cadillac. But a hearse is nothing but a hollow symbol of death,a post-mortality formality. It doesn't matter to most whether the car is empty or not — to symbol-conscious Americans, the black car represents nothing but the Big Sleep and other nasty things. Briangets a kick out of watching others becoming disjointed by his flippant attitude toward a vehicle theybelieve should be treated solemnly. Other people try to raise reactions from folks by flashing emblemsthat bring rise to other feelings. The swastika, one of the ultimate signs of evil, is bound to producesome response. The cross, a symbol of both suffering and salvation, is another rouser. Some animalshave gained connotations, including the dove (peace), the owl (knowledge), the raven (evil) and thealligator (wealth, when applied to clothing). Even colors symbolize moods and imagery: white is pure,red fiery and pink fey. So what does all this have to do with a boy and his hearse? The black car, thesymbol of death, carries lighting equipment, the making of illumination. But no one thinks, or dares, tolook beyond the curtains. Words muddle intent The halls of academia, the filings of a governmentbureaucracy, two friends in a coffee shop — ail use the same raw resource: words. Language is oneof the elements that turned man from a monkey with a big head into a hairless ape with small teeth.Language has been a powerful friend; yet it is capricious enough to cause great friction, too. "I mean,you know, like . . ." How many times have you heard that and mentally slapped the speaker? Afundamental and.useful skill, communication is a great responsibility. Words can be fun andeducational. They can start wars, and, ' generally, end them. Words put men on the moon and a tigerin your tank. Words can hide as well as inform. How many times do you get an illuminating flash ofTruth, but bust caps trying to get the . basics across to your neighbor? We've taken it a long way, but.basically language is hideously inefficient. You gotta make the Shaun McClurken Opinion Editor bestof what you've got. Really clever operatives can use language's shortcomings to their advantage,directing perceptions as they choose: In a simpler time, the Department of Defense was known as theDepartment of War; the nuclear industry made friends last decade by devising phrases such as"energetic disassembly" to soften the impace of such cruel realities as explosions in power plants.Guard yourself. Political, commercial and religious tracts in particular are given to verbiage with highemotional reflex and shadowy definition. Here's a sample list of words to always distrust if clarification is not forthcoming: • rights, peace, free • it, them • liberal/conservative, left/right • religion •relationship • any word ending in -ism, -ize, -ist; any word or phrase originating in California or agovernment organization. Twisted people can come up with twisted speech patterns: Ron Ziegler,President Nixon's press secretary, admitted at a press conference the administration had lied at anearlier press conference with "Our previous statements are now inoperative," and President Reagan,whose administration has raised not saying what you mean to dizzying new heights, has dubbed theMX intercontinental ballistic missile — by design the world's deadliest weapon — the"Peacekeeper." He wants you to know what he wants you to think. On a more mundane, day-today level, two phrases to beware this summer are: • "Now Only (dollar amount)" • "Plus Co-hit (movietitle)." ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 5 ---------- • Western Front 5 Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Senate bill passes; tech expansion due After years ofencouragement by the state Legisla- ~ ture, Western's technology department has plans to expand thisfall by offering classes in north Seattle. Clyde Hackler, coordinator of the new program, said he isreasonably confident the program will consist of three upper-division technology courses per quarter. Theclasses may be taught at Shoreline Community College because it has the equipment needed foradvanced machine-tool technology. This class, and other upper-division courses applicable to industrialtechnology degrees, currently are not available to students in Seattle. Since 1969, the Legislature hasbeen interested in expanding technology programs at all of the state's regional universities, Hackler said.In a 1979 state Senate resolution, legislators became more interested by stating that the threeuniversities had to extend their technology programs to previously unserved areas, he said. CentralWashington University was the first to comply with the resolution after it developed an in-house funding in 1982. Classes were offered in the Tri-Cities through Central's technology department. Western, however, had problems finding resources to offer the courses. Now, due to the recently passed Senate Bill3155, funding is available to all regional universities. The funds will go primarily toward paying instructors' salaries, Hackler said. Students will be charged an extra fee to pay for classroom rental and equipmentcosts, in addition to regular tuition. Instructors probably will be chosen from the Seattle area inindustry- government and education. Hackler, who recently stepped down as Western's technologydepartment chairman, will work part-time as the coordinator of the new program and will instruct part-time on Western's Bellingham campus.

As we shared our individual riding preferences, the sky, through the tiny tavern windows, became grayer. "I think it's going to sprinkle. Oh, well," victor Madrazo, 32, said. Like the third, member of ourhappenstance riding trio, Robert Ashworth, 28, victor still was game. But the weather would shorten theride for us. Funny, in Bellingham, a lot of bike rides get sprinkled on. Oh, well. We decided to take inthe forest scenery and bayside views on Chuckanut Drive Besides being beautiful, it's only a fifteen-minute dash to Tony's Coffee House (compensation for a likely drenching) from Larabee State Park,the midpoint on our 12-mile roundtrip. As we sipped our beers, Robert suggested we ride on theInterurban Trail, which parallels Chuckanut Drive, instead of taking the roadway. "Why not the road?"Icountered. "There's a lot of crummy corners on Chuckanut. It's a lot safer on the trail," Robert explained. Victor nodded appreciatively. Five minutes after leaving the tavern, we took our first break at the lookoutabove Boulevard Park. On the dock, below us, several teenagers were fishing. Half a dozen bicycles,and a dozen people dotted the grass fields. A soupy mist made the bay look sensuous. It's no wonderthat some folks never bike further than Boulevard Park, I thought. As we continued on Boulevard to Fair-, haven, staying within the stripped bike! lajne, I asked Robert what kind of bicycling-experiences he hadhad. "A few weeks ago I rode on 1-5 to Peace Arch Park (20 miles north) and I really enjoyed it. There'sall that shoulder just for me/like on Boulevard," Robert said. I asked victor the same question. "I just ridearound town," he answered. Robert, appearing ponderous, energized the mobile conversation. "I'm kindof philosophical about bicycling. I look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoy it. and Iwaited at the top and sucked oranges. I scanned the vegetation around us for a place to throw theorange peels and recognized the familiar Chuckanut vegetation: alders and maples, an occasionalevergreen, lots of huge ferns, and a glacial boulder, blanketed with thick, bright green moss and babyferns. My peripheral vision spotted something I hadn't expected. A horse dung. It was fresh."HorsedungTlsaidtoRgbert. TVr^BrTaqJ^m/oSop^ look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoyit. And I get lots of exercise." And I get a lot of exercise," Robert explained. We passed up a stop at the Fairhaven district, but couldn't resist the rose garden at Fairhaven Park, which marks the beginningof Chuckanut Drive. A few hundred feet south, at the playfield, 50 persons were watching a softball game, despite the constant rain. Rain? What rain? A few hundred yards past the park is the biggest hill weencountered. Patrick Vala, in The Whatcom County Bike Book, describes the hill as moderatelydifficult, an elevation gain of 150 feet over a few. hundred yards. "Oh, that monster hill," Victor mumbled. A brisk downhill run led us to the turnoff for the Interurban Trail, California Street, a hundred feet past theChuckanut Store. The California Street hill is less than a hundred feet long, but also is very steep., victor walked his bike up the hill; Robert. "I see horses here sometimes. But mostly joggers. I don't mind that," Robert said, meaning the defecation. "It's just the dogs. They chase me. There's a few houses along the trail. The first leg of the trail was a sharp downslope. I discovered one disadvantage of bicycling on thetrail: loose gravel can throw a bicyclist if he's not careful. My companions recognized this, too. We rodeslowly, but the pace seemed to match the calm, solemn mood of the forest. Along the trail weencountered two fairytale waterfalls and several large sandstone cliffs, revealing glacial folding typical of Chuckanut rock. After an hour we stopped a mile short of Larabee Park, where we were to drop toChuckanut Drive, victor and I were ready to head back It was beginning to rain even harder. Robertreminded us of the promised views of Chuckanut Bay and the San Juan Islands.; We back-tracked, riding twice as fast as we came. Gravel flew from our tires. Damn Gravel. It would be more fun on a bicycle-motocross or mountain bike, though. It took only fifteen minutes to return to California Street. Robert ledus back to the Chuckanut Store and then veered right, a few yards past the store, onto Old SamishRoad. The final leg of the journey, the final leg before the warm coffee at Tony's, began on the south sideof the road, just past the intersection. The trailhead was a tiered, muddy set of switchbacks. We walkedour bikes up. At the top, Robert pointed out a large concrete slab that jutted from the natural landscape. "The Interurban Trail used to be the old railway. It went through to Seattle," Robert explained. The finalmile or so of the trip was different than the previous section. The path was narrower and cut throughovergrown fields dotted with apple trees (at this writing the apples were a few inches across). Weraced past the wet fields until we reached Valley Parkway where it meets 24th Street. As we began tonegotiate traffic, on the way to Tony's, Robert's mood became more somber. Those cars were intrudingagain. At Tony's the thought of crisp apples, which would be ripe early this year, floated in and out of my mind, as I sipped coffee. Images of the mist over the bay and the foothills, green forest and waterfallsand a snapshot image of dew condensed on a maple leaf all decorated my imagination. Then, Iremembered, it hadn't been raining for some time. Somewhere between California Street and Tony's ithad stopped raining and no one had bothered to mention it. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 7 ---------- Western Front 7 Tuesday, June 28,1983 m The Stratton family already knew the wine-producingpotential of the land when they began growing grapes in the Nobksack Valley. The lush river valley,protected by Mount Baker and other surrounding peaks, provided the ideal growing conditions forWhatcom County's only winery. "The area has had a long history of having good ground," horticulturistJim Hildt said. "Al Stratton grew up in Everson, and he knew of the land since he was a kid. It wasalready under our noses." In 1978, Albert Stratton, following a 24-year stint as a military surgeon,began planting his vineyards with early-ripening grape varieties that would later become the first harvestof the Mount Baker Vinevards in the fall of 1982. The company's 20 acres will yield two to eight tons ofgrapes per acre, or 320 to 1,250 gallons of juice. "It's unusual for all the grapes to be grown by thewinery," Mary Taylor, assistant business manager, said. "We like to experiment with a lot of differentwines. Most people use tried-and-true methods, but not these guys." Stratum's interest in wine-makingbegan with the gift of a home winemaking kit from his family. For seven years, Stratton was thewinemaker for the Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Unit of Washington StateUniversity at Mount Vernon. He perfected his winemaking skills and became aware of the commercial potential of many unusual grape varieties from England, France, Austria and Hungary. WhatcomCounty has the same latitude as the wine regions of Germany and the Champagne areas of France.. An average of 210 frost-free k days each year is part of the 1 key to the abundant grape production. Yet the climate varies enough for the grapes , one mile west of the winery to 1 ripen a week before the crop infront of the company; the fruit will not grow two miles to the east. The harvest begins in late August andearly September. The grapes are crushed in small basket presses, the juice flows into work tanks,which • can hold up to three tons of grapes. The juice then is poured into large stainless steel tanks,yeasts are added and the fermentation process begins. The winery uses both From humble beginningsto grand endings. Grapes ripen in the misty sunlight of the Nooksack Valley. This crop won't be ready until September, but in the meantime, a visitor enjoys the fruits of previous harvests. champagneyeasts and a "Davis" yeast that was developed at the University of California. As the yeast bodiesfeast upon the sugar of the grapes, alcohol is produced as a by-product. The steel tanks, the largest2,365 gallons, are full from October to December. The wine is bottled through the winter months. thewine in stainless steel tanks rather than wood, Taylor said. "Wood is a pain in the ass," she said."Every time you move the wine, you have to clean the barrels. We just use wood for the aging process." Oak chips are added to the wine to impart the flavor that traditionally is acquired from oak barrels. Andas one tourist suggested, that's what makes the wine "oak-k." The Mount Baker Vineyards, just 11miles east of Bel-lingham on Mount Baker Highway, is housed in a one-story structure, which serves as a warehouse, production room, bottling room and a tasting area. "It's a small outfit, and we make thebest use of space that we can," Taylor said. The majority of work done on the design and construe-^tion of the 5,000 square foot 5 winery was accomplished by Hildt and the Stratton family. The winery has a 20,000 gallon production capability and currently produces 13,500 gallons of wine. The MountBaker Vineyards specialize in white wines and currently employs 20 different kinds of grapes, althoughthe company is experimenting with 40 varities. Six varietal wines are availa-, ble for sale, ranging fromdry dinner wines such as the Okanogan Riesling at $6.50 a bottle to the winery's own "Crystal Rain"selections at $3.00. They also offer fruit wines made from apples ($3.25) and cherry plums ($4.25).Although the wine is availa- . ble in Whatcom County stores, it is distributed more widely in Seattle.Mount Baker wine is served in Spokane and as far south as Tacoma. Visitors in the tasting room areadvised first to examine the clarity and brilliance of the wine and aerate it by swirling the glass.Patrons then are asked to "stick (their) noses in the glass and take a strong whiff...half of the taste issensed through the nose," Taylor said. The wine then is' sipped to coat the entire tongue and visitors are told to breathe back through their noses to capture the full flavor of the wine. Hildt said he doesn't seeany other wineries popping up in Whatcom County in the hear future. "Everyone will be watching us fora while," he said. "We're a pretty unique organization, and it takes a lot of commitment to takesomething like this on; there's a lot of time and money involved." And what do the neighbors think about having a winery in the area? "It's fun for them," Hildt said. "In a few days we're going to have a largegarage sale, and all the neighbors will come along and drink some wine. "We intend to keep it a smallfamily winery." The Mount Baker Vineyards is located on Mount Baker Highway. From I—5 take ex/7255 and follow the highway 11 miles to the winery. Currently tours are being given infor-.. mally. Thevineyards are open from eleven to sz'x, Wednesday through Sunday. k. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Tuesday, June 28,1983 Summer Film Schedule Sweet Bird of Youth July 11 ArntzenHall 100 6:30 Paul Newman plays Chance Wayne, a gigolo all consumed with his ambition to become abig Hollywood star.

The Western Front WESTERN WASHINGTONUNIVERSITY FRIDAY — OCTOBER 7,1994 VOLUME 90, ISSUE 5 New degree tough, but worth itStudent tests academic theories in real life; 'sometimes theory doesn't work' By Dana Goodwin Frontreporter Management students have a unique opportunity at Western — especially if they're planning on working in the manufacturing field. The manufacturing management program in the College ofBusiness and Economics combines traditional business courses with those in engineering andtechnology, providing students with a better understanding of all aspects of business, said PeterHaug, an associate professor in the management department. "When they come out, they'll have avery solid foundation in the engineering/ technology side, the manufacturing/operation side, the leadership side, as well as all the other general business background," Haug said. "We feel they will be very strong contenders in the marketplace." In 1989, Haug and his colleague, Mark Springer, set up the OperationsManagement Advisory Board to include industry representatives. Haug said they felt it wasnecessary to include manufacturing executives in curriculum development. "As the advisory board met andreviewed the curriculum, they felt that the traditional bachelor of arts in business with aconcentration in operations management, while well-designed in terms of what it provided students,was insufficient in terms of the engineering background and managerial leadership skills," Haug said. Rather than re-vamp the operations management concentration, he said the advisory board suggested designing a new bachelor of science degree in manufacturing management. Western is one of only 10schools in the nation to offer the new degree. Haug said the one-year-old program is tough and takesmore time to complete than traditional degrees. A key component to the program is the amount ofindustry-based work experience required. Haug said students are required to complete six months ofwork experience, which usually works out to be two three- See Degree, page 2 The worms crawl in, theworms crawl out They also enjoy our garbage Front/Craig Stephens Recycling center volunteer Chester Zeller has friends in low places. Financial aid options growing By Craig Stephens Front reporter"You're worm food, buddy." This could mean two things; someone is either about to become part of thedeath-toll in an action movie or part of the Associated Students recycling center's vermiculturecomposting project. Vermiculture composting uses the earthworm's digestive process to quickly convertfood waste into fertilizer. Chester Zeller, a recycling center volunteer, proposed the project to recyclingcenter coordinator Richard Neyer last fall and began the project relying on his own experience invermiculture composting. Zeller said the process, is simple. . Food waste is shredded and combinedwith newspaper and laid inside four-foot square bins. The earthworms are added and they begin toconsume the "bedding," creating their waste, called "castings," he said. Cornmeal is later used tobring the worms to the surface. Ironically, the waste becomes as toxic to the worms as it does tohumans, Zeller said. The compost is finally heat-sterilized to kill seeds and make it fit for use inagriculture. Zeller said it is considered by many to be the best fertilizer available. Zeller and Neyer saidthey plan to expand the project from its current pilot status, but must first determine the mostefficient food waste-to-output ratio. "Research needs to be done to find out the protocol for the leastamount of space to do the project," Zeller said. "We're not the only school to have limited space oncampus." Other universities, such as The Evergreen State College, have similar programs, but large-scale models are not yet available. Zeller said two pounds of worms convert one pound of food wasteinto compost in a 24-hour period. Experimentation will reveal the maximum amount of worms per square foot connected to the maximum yield per day. Zeller's goal is to have a usable product every 48 hours.Inspired by their work, the worms will multiply by 100 percent every three months, he said. Currently, the Fairhaven Dining Hall provides about 35 pounds of food waste a week. Zeller and Neyer estimate each campus din- See Worms, page 6 By Brett Davis Front reporter Western students now have moreoptions when it comes to paying back financial aid because of recent policies developed by the Clintonadministration. Kathleen Sahlhoff, director of Student Financial Resources, said as part of the NationalService Act instated this summer, students can pay back school loans by participating in communityservice. Under theplan, students work for oneyearatminimumwagebutreceive a bonus when the year isup. A stipend is a fixed sum of money paid periodically for service or to defray expenses. n "They can apply the stipend toward school expenses, to pay a loan or for loan forgiveness," Sahlhoff said. TheNational Service Act is part of President Clinton's Ameri- Corps plan, a domestic version of the PeaceCorps, made up of 20,000 volunteers. The new structure of these student loar programs is designed to save money while easing debt pressure on students by allowing them to choose low-payingcommunity work. The goal of the National Service Act is to get students involved in service andreduce student indebtedness, Sahlhoff said. Since the program is so new, See Money, page 6Parking passes offered to some Conimuter lot parking per-r mits arebeingoffered to someof the morethan 300 students on the waiting list, said Ann Wallace, parking services manager.

An officer smelled the odor while patrollingMathes. He contacted the resident and impounded the pipe and marijuana. Oct. 5, noon: A womanreported her wallet had been stolen from her office in the Viking Union. Oct. 6,3:19 a.m.: A man in theViking Union heard a loud crashing noise in the third and fourth floors but did not locate the cause of thenoise. He later found the fourth floor skylight broken in the hallway. The man stated he had seen threeyoung people outside prior to hearing the noise, but he could not describe them. Bel ling ham Police Oct 5,7:41 p.m.: Two men were arrested for attempting to flee a business, located in the 3600 block of ByronAve., without paying for their meals. The men were apprehended by employees when the get-away carwould not start. Oct 5,11:09 p.m.: Police were called to a domestic dispute in the 1200 block of N.Garden St. Neighbors had called 9-1-1 when a couple started arguing and the neighbors saw blood on one person's face. The officers contacted the couple, who said one of them had fallen down earlier and gotten a bloody nose, and the argument was over whether or not to go to the hospital for treatment. Oct 6,12:34 a.m.: A clerk at a convenience store in the 1100 block of Iowa St. reported a man wearing a stripedstocking cap and a camouflage army coat stole five mini-cartons of cigarettes. He fled in a red car. Thesuspect was not apprehended and the merchandise was not recovered. Oct 6,10:15 p.m.: A woman inthe 2400 block of E St. reported what she thought might be someone outside her bathroom window.Officers checked the area and found no evidence of attempted entry. Cops Box compiled by Front reporter Dana Goodwin. College officials ask industry for advice Degree continued from page 1 monthinternships. "We're looking at a student probably taking, realistically, four-and-a-half to five years tocomplete the program because, unlike abusiness degree program, that's about 180 credits, this is 191credits," Haug said. "Six months of industry experience adds some time as well." Erick Nelson, a senior who will graduate from the program in June, worked at Alliant Tech Systems in Everett this summer.While there, Nelson said he worked on a team responsible for' bringing Alliant Tech's operations up tocompliance with the government's Material Management Accounting Standards. Nelson waspreviously a production and operations management major, but he said switching to the newprogram was worth it. The requirement for six months of work experience will give him an edge once heenters the work force, he said. The internships are also useful for getting "hands-on" experience, he added. "You have the ability to translate the theory you learn in the classroom to real life situations,"he said. "You see how sometimes theory doesn't work." Haug said students who graduate with thisdegree will be well-prepared to enter the work force because industry managers had a hand in designingit. "The advisory board worked with (Springer) and me over the space of about two years ... and basedon what industry defined as what they wanted as the output, we determined what should be thenecessary input," Haug said. The proposal, completed in April of 1991, was passed through theAcademic Coordinating Commission inNovember of 1992 and was approved by the Higher EducationCoordinating Board in September, 1993.

Can anything replace mom's cookin'? Probablynot, but a tour of the Viking Union eateries shows how Food Services is trying. Hour after hour, day afterday, the Viking Union eateries supply all kinds of products that students and staff need to make itthrough another day. Not only are certain products, such as sandwiches and coffee, available at alllocations, but specialty items are available at each eatery. Many of the eateries underwent majorchanges over the summer. Most of those changes deal with hours of operation and introduction ofnew products. Perhaps the biggest transformation is the conversion of the Plaza Deli from a specialtysandwich shop to a submarine sandwich format where the same amount of money nets more grub. "We wanted to give customers better value," said Kim Bachman, Food Services retail manager. "A half-subcosts about the same as a whole sandwich did — and it has more food." Of course more food for thesame price comes with a minor hitch. "Expect a line," said Shandra Wilcox, who works at the deli. "Ittakes us longer to make a sub than it did the old sandwiches. There's more food on it." Bachman saidthe bread used in the deli is now baked fresh every morning on Western's campus. Before the changes,bread for the deli had to be ordered from stores and wasn't as fresh. There are nine different subs on the menu, as well as a variety of bread items and drinks. Most of the subs cost around $2.59 for a half-sandwich, and $3.84 for a whole. A "Daily Combo" is also available for $4.39, which includes any half-sub, chips and a soda. One floor down in the Coffee Shop is the new home of the health-conscious Stir-Fry Bar. The bar used to be on the fourth floor of Viking Addition, a somewhat cumbersome locale(theplaza level is actually the sixth floor and the numbers go downward from there). "It was expensive tooperate down there," Bachman said. "But we didn't want to lose it because it is an excellent vegetarianoption. People just couldn't find it, so we made room in the Coffee Shop." The bar offers a build-your-own plate, as well as the traditional sticky rice and tofu. In the tradition of fast-food restaurants everywhere,the Coffee Shop also sells burgers—many are available in "Super Value Combos." They include achoice of burger, fries, and a soda. Most run about $3.69, depending on the type of burger in the combo. Some students find the number of choices agreeable. "The Coffee Shop is one of the best-tastingplaces on campus," said Meara Conway, a junior. "I think they have a good variety. You can smell thestir-fry as soon as you go down the stairs." Bigfoot's Bistro is another eatery in the area, featuring pooltables. Located on the third floor, the easiest way to get there is to take the elevator down. Afterreceiving input from customers, Bachman said it was decided to readjust the bistro's hours. It nowopens daily at 3 p.m., staying open until 11 p.m. ness major. "All of my classes are in Parks Hall and Idon't have time between classes. "The Arntzen cart is quick and convenient." Across campus in MillerHall, facing Red Square, sits Miller's Coffee House. Along with the Coffee Shop, it is one of the most-frequented eateries. "I get a bagel and a coffee here nearly every morning," said senior Bryce Hanson. "I like the Coffee House a lot, although I still think the prices are outrageous." Theonly changes tohitMiller's is the introduction of several new bakery products. Bachman said scones, new varieties ofmuffins, raspberry marzipan and a "delicious" creation called a hazelnut currant cookie are in theCoffee House's immediate future. There is also a new coffee mug featuring a unique design thatmealcard inside. Plus, it's a much more convenient size and better value than mugs in the past." The old mugs held 20 ounces of brew and could be refilled for the price of a 16-ounce coffee — giving thecustomer four ounces free. The new mugs are 16 ounces, and can be refilled for the price of a 10-ouncedrink — giving six ounces free. Bachman said Western is known for its serious coffee drinkers. "Wehad been working with Starbucks to come up with a blend that satisfies Western students," she said."We tried their House, Yukon, and Java blends but none were extremely well-liked. "Finally Starbuckssuggested Sumatra, a strong hearty blend. It sits in your mouth, which is what real coffee drinkers like.Of course Western loves it, and we've stopped experimenting." Lines often form outside Plaza Deliaround lunchtime. Popular demand has also brought espresso back to the bistro. "Nothing else oncampus is open this late offering espresso," Bachman said. Regarding espresso, last spring the cartlocated in front of Carver Gym was moved to its current location outside Arntzen Hall, providingstudents on the southern end of campus a place to get a lift. "I really like having it there," said SarahMichael, a senior busi- Starbucks created exclusively for Western. It has a colorful coffee mug with"WWU" written above it.

Four Westernstudents participated in the community service program during the summer, she said. Direct loanprograms may be another option for students in the future, she said. The Federal Student Loan OverhaulProgram, passed last year by Congress, prepares the way for the government to introduce a newprogram this fall. Sahlhoff said Western is not among the first 104 colleges to use the plan but sees itcoming here in the future. Under this program, loan payments-are based on a percentage of the student's income rather than the amount of the total loan. The idea is to eliminate banks and other privatelenders from the loan process, thereby saving money by reducing fees and providing more efficientservice, Sahlhoff said. According to statistics published by U.S. News World Report, 95 percent of all student loans this year will go through banks. But the federal government hopes to become the primarylender in the program. Another change in federal lending lets students stretch out loan repayment for upto 30 years. The former limit was 10 years. Western participates in the Perkins, Stafford and PLUSfederal loan programs. The interest rates on these loans varies from 5 percent to 9 percent depending on the program, Sahlhoff said. Perkins loans are low-interest loans of up to $3,000 for needy students.Stafford loans are low-interest loans from the federal government that are not necessarily need-based.PLUS loans allow parents to borrow up to the full cost of their child's education less other forms offinancial aid received by the student.

E a r t h - worms make ahumming sound (inaudible to humans unless they're in large numbers), which birds use to locate them in the soil. Another hazard is the heat caused by the decomposition of the food itself. The heat createdby too much food in the bins can sometimes harm the worms. Fortunately, the same phenomenonhelps the worms in the winter, Zeller said. He said sealing the bins, controlling pests and heatsterilization of the castings prevent health codes from becoming an issue.

The not-for-profit group Fairhaven Neighbors Inc. requested theclosure, which the council approved 5-2 at its Aug. 9 meeting. FNI is working closely with the city onthe Old Fairhaven Parkway extension project. The truck route will allow traffic from 12th Street andDonovan Avenue to reach the marine/industrial area below Old Fairhaven's shopping area. DuringMonday night's council meeting, Sue Murray, a resident of Bayside Place, and John Erickson, ofChuckanut Drive, presented the council with two petitions protesting the closure and requestingDonovan be used as the truck route. Murray and Erickson's sentiments were echoed in thecomments of three others who spoke against the closure. Increased traffic in front of Fairhaven Middle School, caused by the closure, was one argument used to oppose the closure. • •••':••• The signatures and testimony join those of others flowing into the council on analmost weekly basis. Murray estimates some 519 signatures have been submitted to the city so far.Eighty-six of those signatures belong to residents within the Fairhaven Neighbors Inc.'s boundaries.During her comments, Murray read an Aug. 17 memorandum from Jack Garner, the city's public worksdirector, to Mayor Tim Douglas. According to the memorandum, the council was given in its Aug. 9packet, inaccurate speed reports for Donovan Avenue. These reports were part of the informationconsidered by the council when it made its decision that evening. Council members merely blinked asMurray read the memorandum, which concludes, "It is unfortunate that the erroneous report wasincluded in the Council packet, and we are unsure how it found its way there.

Last May, the council designated the group to be solely responsible for discussion and design of the Old Fairhaven Parkway extension.

Inan earlier covenant with the city in 1988, FNI agreed not to contest the building of the Alaska ferryterminal so long as the city agreed to minimize the through traffic in that residential neighborhood anddiscourage through traffic at the 10th Street and Donovan Avenue intersection, among other things. Theagreement also gave FNI a say in the Old Fairhaven Parkway's extension. After the public commentperiod, councilman Bob Hall said, "I'll just have to say it again. I just wish you people had turned outearlier. "But the council, as I see it, has agreed to either 9th or 10th. It's just too bad." The council willdecide which street, 9th or 10th, will be used to complete the extension during next week's session.Completion pressures may be the root of the council's seeming inaction when confronted with petitions,testimony and memo- ' randum. Tom Rosenberg, city engineer, told the council Monday that thegrant — about $875,000 of which will pay for construction of the extension—may be lost if the citydoesn't begin work soon. But Rod Diemert, program engineer for the Traffic Improvement Account,which is providing the grant, said there really isn't a deadline, so long as action Those proposedprojects that don't meet their schedules often lose funding.

Citizens residing to the north and east of Bellingham want toseparate from Whatcom and become their own counties. If approved Pioneer County will encompassthe small town of Custer and its vicinity. Independence County will extend from Kelly Road to thecurrent border of Whatcom and Okanogon counties and south to New Halem. Sandy Andreasen, aspokesperson for Pioneer County, said if they meet all requirements, the state has to let themseparate. "According to the Constitution, we have a right to form a new county," she said. Theresidents of the area want to separate because they claim that they are not represented as well as theBellingham residents. They also claim that Whatcom County is just too big. "I understand theirfrustrations," said Yvonne Goldsmith, Ferndale City Council member. "They want more bang for theirbuck." Most of the Whatcom County buildings, including the jail and courthouse, are located inBellingham, and most of the registered voters in the county reside in Bellingham. Residents of thetwo perspective counties said that gives Bellingham an unfair advantage in voting. Andreasen saidthat the "majority of the votes come from Bellingham," and decisions made by the county councilhave, in the past, favored the city more than the rest of the county. In order for the area to officiallyseparate, it must meet some basic requirements. A substantial tax base must be established, theoriginal county must be left withwith an adequate You are invited!

The one requirement they still have to complete is the signatures. PioneerCounty's tax base includes Intalco, Arco, BP Oil and the Semiahmoo complex. Research hasindicated the rest of the county would still have enough income to support itself, Andreason said. Aboutone-third of the required signatures have been gathered, but the Pioneer County committee had beenunable to meet the required amount. "They (county residents) can't get more than 28 percent out tovote. How do they think they are going to get enough people to sign a petition?" Goldsmith said. "Somepeople don't understand, we need more control, " Andreasen said. Goldsmith said that if thepetitioners for Pioneer County did a big "blitz," they could possibly get enough people to sign. But itwould have to be mostly person-to-person contact, either by phone or door-to-door, soliciting. "I live inthe county and I don't care for the city of Bellingham," Goldsmith stated. "I'd like to see it (PioneerCounty) go through." If Pioneer County does become a reality, it would include everything north ofSlater Road and west of the Guide Meridian. The Lummi Reservation and Point Roberts would remainparts of Whatcom County. Since the proposed area does not have more than 50,000 residents, itwould not be subject to the Growth Management Act. When they meet the requirements, they needonly to bring it to Olympia to be recognized. A SERVICE ol T l l l - X GRAphlc MAciNTOsh COMPUTER TRAJNJNQ Help r _ * 755 9272 « m There is no vote.

However, Andreason said she can't seeIndependence County becoming a reality because the area does not have a strong enough tax base.Sharon Pietila, one of the founders of the Independence County movement, said they conducted afinancial study and determined they have plenty of money to support a new county.

A group of dancers, artists and musicians from the Bellingham area went to Japanfor 10 days in September to participate in Bellingham's first cultural exchange with its sister city,Tateyama. The group of 18 included quilt makers, a wood turner (a person who works wood with a lathe), a basket weaver, a wood carver, two professional musicians and a dance caller. A group from Tateyama traveled here for the first time last year and demonstrated such cultural traditions as the tea ceremony,paper doll making and the art of bamboo carving. During the exchange, the Bellingham group stayed with different families in the community. At the community center they performed blue-grass music andengaged in Contra dancing. "Contra is the oldest (non-Native) American dance, so it seemed the mostappropriate," said George Thomas, exchange coordinator. Contra is also "by the community and forthe community, not a stage performance," he added. "It's supposed to be a social mixer." Contra is adance where the men form a line on one side, women on the other and each couple takes turns dancingdown the center of the lines. Participants continually switch partners throughout the duration of thedance. During performances, the dancers taught the audience how to participate in the dance. Some ofthe artists also took part in the dancing. Traditional Native American wood carving and basketry, as wellas wood turning were also featured at the center, Thomas said. Thomas said these were chosenbecause the sister city committee in Tateyama specifically asked for traditional demonstrations.The group also presented gifts to the city. Kate Stenberg made a quilt with designs symbolizing thesister cities and the dancers. Vernon Leibrant carved a wooden bowl, and Lummi basket weaver AnnaJefferson prepared smoked salmon and eggs. Dale James, a Lummi master carver, presented an eight-foot totem pole. Thomas said the totem pole design consisted of a raven on top and the sun on thebottom. The raven is a character in Lummi folklore that James often uses in his craft. In addition toperforming in Tateyama, the group participated in an annual two-day traditional crafts festival in Chiba,'anearby city. The festival's participants are from all over Japan and display their region's traditionalcrafts. The Bellingham group was the only non-Japanese group represented, Thomas said. The groupperformed in two settings, one with an audience of 100 and one with and audience of 10,000. Thesmaller setting was informal and the audience members were persuaded to join in on the dance. Thelarger setting was more formal, with a brief demonstration of the Contra dance and atwo-minute interviewafterward, at which time the group answered questions about both Bellingham and the dance. The groupalso had a booth where their crafts were displayed. "I was really happy to be able to share the Lummiculture as well as Western culture with the Japanese people," Jefferson said.

Western's 1994 Performing Arts Series, featuring nine musical and danceperformances, provides an example of this experience, he said. The theme of this season's series is"The Excellence Continues!" As with past programs, the series offers a combination of dance andmusical performances, as well as a performance by Mummenschanz, a mime troupe which receivedgreat reviews during a previous visit to Western. "(The performances) explore deeper into what you'rereally feeling," Sylvester said. "They bring out emotions and ideas in students they didn't know theyhad." The season's Performing Arts Series includes the Orion String Quartet, The Falla Guitar Trio,Ballet British Columbia, Anonymous 4 (a medieval music quartet), Mummenschanz, I Musici deMontreal (a string orchestra), Joseph Holmes Dance Theatre, Atlantic Brass Quintet andChristopher O'Riley (pianist). "The surprise might be Anonymous 4," said Fran Sekern, assistantdirector of Cultural Affairs. "They're a four woman quartet who sing medieval music and chants. Theyjust got their third CD on the (classical music) Top Ten." Sylvester contributes Anonymous 4'ssuccess to the changing opinions of classical music. "Students are beginning to branch out into findingalternative music," he said. For students who have little or no exposure to classical music, theseperformances may prove rewarding, he added. "All these composers were new at one time. To someonewho hasn't got into this type of program, it will be new music to them," Sylvester said. "I don't like the term 'classical music' It denotes a pigeon hole in music. We're talking about hundreds of years ofmusic," he added. Sylvester compared the term to calling all music from the 1950s- 90s "rock." Likemodern music, classical music has many different sounds. It's the flavor of classical music that haskept it so popular. Many of the performers in the series are recreating the passion that classical musicemits, Sylvester said. "The thing that's magical, is here's a piece of music in the form of a score (sheetmusic)," Sylvester said. "The musicians are recreating ideas written down hundreds of years ago.They're doing it in a fresh way with their own abilities and 20th-century intellect." The Orion StringQuartet is the first event in the series, performing at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, in the PAC Concert Hall.Sylvester personally knows two of the performers and raves about their musical genius. "Isaac Stern, (aworld-renowned violinist), pointed them out as the next generation of excellence as quartet," hesaid. The Orion String Quartet has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York and at the Kennedy Centerin Washington D.C. It is the quartet-in-residence for the Chamber of Music Society of Lincoln Center.

Music review New album by old band breaks barriers ByPaul Peterman Front reporter The last three times R.E.M. went into the studio, the boys from Athens,GA. planned to come out with a hard rock album. The first two attempts, Out of Time and 1992'sAutomatic ForThe People, didn't work out that way. Both sold millions but neither captured the soundR.E.M. wanted. Monster is an entirely different animal. The acoustic guitars were left in the closet asR.E.M. uses a bare-bones approach that rings bells for those familiar with the band's 14-year roots. The album's opener and first single, "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?" is one of only a few upbeat songsoh Monster. The emphasis on "Kenneth," and the majority of the other songs, is on the music ratherthan the lyrics. Vocalist Michael Stipe's words are indiscernible at times. That, combined with plenty ofreverb, makes it impossible to consider Monster a pop album. The listener must go three songs deep to discover the album's brilliance. "King Of Comedy" features guitaristPeterBuck' s best work of thisdecade. Stipe growls in the background as the guitar and bass dominate the sound. Dark is the bestword to describe it. Buck's tactical overview of Monster was simple. "I played guitar really loud," Bucksaid. "It was a little like Spinal Tap — you know, crank it up to eleven." Few songs on Monster wouldhave blended on either of R.E.M.' s last two albums. "Star 69" and "Strange Currencies" are the twoobvious exceptions. The former shoots rapid-fire vocals reminiscent of R.E.M. hits "Its The End Of The World As We Know It" and "Ignoreland." "Strange Currencies" lets listeners apprehend the lyrics andis similar in form to the pop ballad "Everybody Hurts." R.E.M. used unconventional means to ensure thealbum took on a life of its own. "We used a lot of different mikes and weird effects," Stipe said. "Thevocals on 'I Took Your Name' were recorded through a Walkman. Some of the backing tracks were sunginto a telephone." Most of today's bands try to produce a new sound, though very few can do it for anentire album. R.E.M. does. "Tongue" startles the listener with Stipe's high-pitched vocals. A bongoaccompanied by an organ lay the foundation for Stipe's take on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Thestrangest thing is that it actually works. The album's last five songs have a melodic, driving guitar thatSoundgarden's Kim Thayil would be proud of. On the dark rocker "Bang And Blame," Stipe carols, "Ifyou, could see yourself now baby/The tables havebeen turned/ The whole world hinges on yourscreams/Your secret life of indiscrete discretion." "Circus Envy" is the hardest R.E.M. song ever.Stipe's warbling takes another back seat to Buck's grinding guitar — more evidence of R.E.M.'smysterious departure from past efforts. "We set out to make a rock 'n' roll record without heavy metal or grunge," Buck said. "When it comes to this kind of hard rock, the only influence we've really got isourselves." A key factor in the making of Monster is the band's decision, after a five-year hiatus, to begin touring again. "This album is a great way to get back into playing live," Stipe said. "I can't think ofanything more boring than playing all that music from the last three years, although I'm sure we'll dosome of it." Those plans include a world tour. A Northwest concert date is rumored for sometime inMay. Sex, se By Kris Alexander Front reporter "The play is about sex, ba cally. The whole play revolvaround sex. I mean, it does, really does.

Western student Tabitha Wall is stage manager. Unlike mostproductions of "The Taming of the Shrew," Morris chose to include the introduction, a prelude to thestory, in which a poor man is tricked into believing he's a wealthy lord. The man dreams, and his dreambecome the focus of the play. "John Barton, who wrote 'Playing with Shakespeare,' has a quote. Hesays 'Embrace the inconsistencies' in Shakespeare," Morris said. "I came to my actors and told them to embrace the inconsistencies. ... And I realized I wasn't living up to what I was talking about. Iwasn't embracing the inconsistencies, the inconsistency being the introduction." The actors said theylike the change. "By setting it in a dream, we've taken it out of the context of being 'Oh, we're soShakespearean,'" Nealy said, in an exaggerated voice. "But, instead, it's more of a mish-mosh. Wefreely admit that we're anachronistic ... And that's perfectly fine with us." By using the entire text, thecast has been able to explore multiple themes, they said. "We're taking something that gt; gt;-hasbeen traditionally considered to have one theme to it, and that is sexism," said Theroux. "We're notworking against Shakespeare's idea ... but we're putting it in a new light and showing it as being sortof the patriar- "It's sex in more terms than the physical — " — Damond Morris director dial fantasythat it is." "We try to get the meaning across and not just treat the language as something sacred,"Cowan added. "Because language is a living thing, after all, whether the words are two hundred years old or however long it's been." Even people who have never been exposed to Shakespeare should be able to follow the play, Cowan said. '"It's not like so many of Shakespeare's play s that if you' re not familiarwith the play or familiar with the dialogue, you lose so much," Mink explained. '"Cause so much of this show is comedy that's show and tell." A small stage area, homemade costumes (borrowed fromSociety of Creative Anachronisms members), original music played by a string^trio anda set adaptedfrom a watercolor painting have also influenced the production. Morris asked local artist and Allied Artsmember Richard Bulman to recreate his watercolor painting, "Rooftops," as the set. With the help of setconstructor Ted Stritof, Bulman has converted the Allied Arts Gallery into a two-story set. Pastelpink, royal blue, brown and black are splashed across off-white walls. The set/painting was inspired byBulman's travels in Europe. "I walked out of my balcony in a little town in Portugal and that is what Isaw," he said. Other examples of Bulman's art work, including a life like painting titled "The Satin Dress" will be displayed during the show. The actors said they found the show's freedom refreshing. "Up untilnow, all my experiences have been with either an almost corporate like community theatre setting orthrough the university where... there's a formula to it almost," Nealy said. "('The Taming of the Shrew')feels like something we've put together. Everything from auditioning, to building sets, to costumes.Everything's just really homemade," Nealy said.

On one side is a movie that is fueled by good acting by two excellent performers. Theother is a typical prison picture that borrows from other films. The story is adapted from a StephenKing short story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption." Morgan Freeman plays Red, an oldcon doing a life sentence in Maine's Shawshank State Prison. He is the guy on the inside who can getanything from the outside for a price. Every prison movie has one of these guys. Tim Robbins playsAndy, a soft spoken banker who is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. During his first nightin Shawshank, Andy shows the mettle of a hardened inmate. This catches the eye of Red and makeshim wonder if Andy will make it through theroughprison life. The rest of the movie chronicles Andy'sprison life for the next 21 years in Shawshank. During this time, he endures beatings, weeks insolitary confinement and repeated homosexual rapes by a group of inmates known as "the sisters."Eventually, Andy uses his banker skills to make himself a slave to the warden and the prison guards.Through this he gains some respect from the prison administration by preparing their tax returns andlaundering their money. The strong part of the movie focuses on the growing friendship between Andyand Red. "Shawshank " works best when it is focusing on the trials of the human spirit and how Andyand his quiet persona wins the hearts of Red and the other inmates. The movie borrows much fromother prison films. First-time director Frank Darabont wants to make his own prison film, but can't helpborrowing from other classic prison films such as "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Longest Yard." It would be nice to see aprison drama come along that doesn't rely so much on the predictable prison genre. Theelements are too familiar. The Bible-toting warden, an inmate with a fondness for birds, and anaudience-pleasing escape from the prison are recycled ideas. As "Shawshank" shows the triumph ofthe human spirit, it also shows the degradation. With the guards shooting and beating inmates and thewarden showing no humanity in 21 years, it becomes quite heavy-handed. The acting of Robbins andFreeman are what propel "Shawshank" along — and at a running time of two and a half hours that might not be enough. The performances on the screen will keep you watching "Shawshank," but you may shift in your seat a little too much.

Finding the needle is easier with theInternet Underground Music Archive. IUMA is a site on the internet that allows those with the properequipment to download music and promotional information by artists of all styles from across thecountry. IUMA was started by Rob Lord and Jeff Patterson, two Santa Cruz, Calif., internet enthusiastswho found that the music they enjoyed wasn't usually available in mainstream commercial markets.With IUMA, they offer music not offered elsewhere and provide an outlet for unsigned the use of our site,because the whole concept of'netiquette' forbids that." Publishing and distributing music over theinternet might seem to ruffle the feathers of the big record giants by circumventing artists to find anaudience. In an interview with Kenneth Newby in Mondo 2000 magazine, Lord and Patterson said theyforesee internet labels as a possible upcoming industry. "We see a whole different sort of industrycoming up," Patterson said. "The reason we're so good is because we're not into the sort of exploitationthat the record companies may be into. We don' t want to charge the bands because they're the oneswho don't really have the money to do it. And we don't want to charge people for their role in the music'savailability. Rather, the companies are able to benefit from IUMA by using it to seek out and trackpossibilities of new talent.

Thus was born the slogan for the counter-culture movement of the 1960s. Known as the "spiritual father of alternative culture," Doctor TimothyLeary is the man behind the slogan and has been in the face of controversy ever since, controversyhe'll bring to his speaking engagement at 7 p.m., Oct. 13 at the Performing Arts Center. Leary' s topicwill be "How to Operate Your Brain: A Multimedia Presentation." Leary first made the presentation at Lollapaloozain 1993. After receiving a doctorate in psychology from the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley, Leary soon became one of the most respected leaders of the hu-manistpsychol-ogy movement of the 1950s. Appointed to the faculty of Harvard University in 1959, Leary became the director of the Harvard Psychedelic Research Project. His work included the study ofpsychedelic drugs, namely LSD, which were legal until 1966. Due to controversy and bad publicitygenerated by the study, Leary was fired by Harvard in 1963. Being the first person fired from Harvardcaused his mother to disown him, but Leary moved on and established a research center in Millbrook,N.Y., where he continued work on his LSD experiments. In Millbrook, he encouraged free thinkers and became a symbol to protest leaders around the world. He later ran against Ronald Reagan forgovernor of California. A leading critic of the establishment, Leary was even called "the mostdangerous man alive" by President Nixon. In 1970, Leary was imprisoned for possession of marijuana but after five months escaped and fled to Algiers. In January 1973, he was recaptured by the CIA andserved two years in prison before being paroled. Leary also pioneered the "futurist" movementof the 1980s, working with virtual- reality technology and computer software. He is presidentof his own c o m p u t e r c o m p a n y , Futique, Inc., which designs i n t e r a c t i ve software forpersonal computers. Tom Beal, of the Arizona Daily Star, wrote, "He jokes about everything. Heengages in what he calls stand-up philosophy. He performs philosophy on stage at collegecampuses...Purposefully, and with obvious glee, Leary set about to shock the crowd by making fun ofevery sacred cow within mooing distance...He was profane; he was funny. A few people left angrily,proving, I guess, that he still has the power to provoke."

It's a movie that follows the adventures of two Americancousins in Spain at the end of the cold war. The plot is a bit confusing, so here's an overview: TedBoynton is an American living in Barcelona while working for the Chicago based Illinois High-SpeedMotor Company (IHSMOCO), though it is never mentioned what the company does. Ted is some kind ofsalesman, but the movie doesn't explain what he sells. Fred, Ted's cousin, is in the U.S. Navy anddecides to spend some unannounced time with his not-so-thrilled cousin. The two are well aquaintedbut haven't been on the best of terms since a kayak mishap when they were 10 years old. In Fred'sendless pursuit of a party, the cousins meet up with two women. Eventually Ted starts dating one ofthem, named Montserrat, more seriously. As their relationship grows, Ted discovers she still has aboyfriend she lives with. His name is Ramon, a journalist who sees all Americans as suspiciousagents of the CIA or FBI. Ramon's views are in turn read and believed throughout Spain. Fred findshimself involved with Marta, one of Montserrat's friends. Martais beautiful butturns out to be a thievingdrug-hound. Ted's romance flops when Montserrat leaves him to return to Ramon. About the same time,Fred discovers Malta's devilish side and reclaims his stolen property. Confused? There's more. As he isleaving the scene in a cab, Fred catches a bullet in the head. Much of the rest of the story deals withhis recovery and Ted dealing with the possibility of his cousin's death. Typically Hollywood, the movieends happily. Ted and Fred become close friends again, both marry women they met in Barcelona andmove back to the United States. Overall, the movie is a B-grade foreign movie, though made ' byAmerican directors and producers. The plot is entirely too scattered. I found myself wondering where the plot was going, then laughing, then wondering where the plot was going again. It is, however,entertaining. Not in a block-buster sort of way, but in a quirky nothing-better-to-do-on- Friday-night sort of way. The film's end leaves one with a puzzled sense: puzzled as to what the movie is supposed tomean, puzzled as to why the movie was made, puzzled as to why you saw it and most of all, puzzled as to why you enjoyed it. As such, I can't say exactly what is appealing about "Barcelona," but I can sayit's a movie that I would add a third thumb up to the two Siskel Ebert gave it. WE'LL GIVE YOU 10WEEKS.

We need a little more heart," said Jones,-who also looked strong on defensewith 15 digs. Game two was strong evidence that Western has the talent and athleticism to promise a future laden with wins over national powers like UPS, currently ranked ninth in the NAIA. The offensiverhythm between setter Adrienne Sloboden and outside hitter Chrissy Sursely was excellent, resulting inthunderous kills that the Loggers were not in position to handle. "We are a transition team. We have afast offense that takes advantage of other teams," Snider said. "We played really solid," saidSloboden, who finished with 38 assists. "I was a little frustrated with setting. It's hard to find holesagainst such a big team." Ultimately, consistent passing and setting precision, a hallmark of a veteransquad, was the spark that ignited the explosive UPS hitting game. Loggers' setter Janice Lwin andnational tournament MVP Andrea Egans, a 6-0 outside hitter, combine to form one of the most lethaloffensive tandems in the NAIA.

Old Main 400 650-3650 ---------- Western Front - 1994 October 7 - Page 15 ---------- October 7,1994 — The Western Front SPORTS•15 Set to take off By Beth Demetrescu Frontreporter The Flyers are back — better than ever and ready to kick-off their third season as Bellingham'ssenior AAA hockey team. Under the direction of coach Ron Johnson and backed by the goaltendingefforts of Burny Carlson, the Flyers finished well above 500 last season and plan on topping that thisyear. Carlson is joined in goal by Brett Haywood, a young goal tender from Brown University. This shouldease some of the pressure off Carlson in the latter periods of games. "Carlson consistently comesthrough for us, and with the addition of Haywood, we should be solid in the net," said public relationsassistant Don Steinke. Defensively, the Flyers should shine. The pairing of Wes Gentles and teamcaptain Wayne Stripp has been reliably effective at holding the blue line. Veterans Mark Benjamin,alternate captain, and Jason Reisinger return to provide solid protection for Carlson. Newcomers LindsayMohr, Jeff Sampson and Tye Cameron round out the defensive line-up. "Cameron played for thePortland Winterhawks (Western Hockey League) and seems to enjoy playing old fashioned rock-and-rollhockey. We can always use another solid defenseman," Steinke said. The Flyers should rack up thepoints with their gritty offense. Chris Morrison, one of last year's leading scorers and one to watch, isreturning to the line up along with Ryan Edwards and Stu Sage to light up the scoreboard. The Flyers,however, have made some exciting changes. After a trade that involved sending Darren Naylor and AlKinisky to the Seattle Indians, the Flyers picked up Colin Fair, Conrad Ashton and Dan Gagne to addsome more power up front. Also signed was Russ Morrison, younger brother of forward Chris.Bellingham lost goaltender Lance Carlson to the Central Hockey League, center Lindsay Dyck to Fresno,Calif., winger Dan Giesbreck to New Zealand and defenseman Kirk Fisher to retirement. Sept. 30marked the official beginning of the hockey season. Opening night featured a bagpipe ceremony andpresentation by the Bellingham Sea Scouts. The Flyers lost to the Port Cpquitlam Blues by a score of 8-7. Chris Morrison led the teamJby scoring two goals and two assists. Stripp, Gentles and the Morrisonbrothers let the Blues have a taste of the physical game and collectively racked up 43 penalty minutes.Bellingham, however, suffered the loss of Benjamin due to a slashing injury late in the second period. Heshould be back for the upcoming game. The Flyers next home game is at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday at theWhatcom County Sports Arena. They will take on the New Westminster Beavers.

This isn't just baseball. The NHL, NBAand the NFL all co-exist in this parallel universe. The plate-glass windows separating the real worldfrom this bizarro world are starting to get foggy. Squabbles over who gets this million or that million serve as a slap of reality to sports fans. The lords of sports might look normal, but they aren't human. Laborproblems dangle over all four major sports. The owners explain that it's obviously the players' fault. Theyshould be happy to get millions for playing games. The players rebut that owners have suppressed themlong enough. There is more money pouring in than the owners will admit. We just want our fair share!Nothing has changed in professional sports since its inception. The players sure haven't. "The '90s player is about getting paid first. Not about working for that pay," Magic Johnson said in a 1994 interviewwith ESPN. "The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money - not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it," Ty Cobb said in 1925. Professionalathletes never played just for the love of the sport. _ Hence the term, "professional." Even collegeathletes play for incentives: scholarships, exposure for the pro draft, fame and sometimes even fortune. So the players haven't changed. That leaves the owners. The days when owners fo/tfthe players howmuch they'd be paid instead of negotiating are long gone. The owners of professional sports teams havealways tried to get away with something. Baseball's anti-trust exemption from Congress is a goodexample. That could soon be swept out from under their feet. Right now there are more professionalleagues shut down than operating. The NFL is in tact because its players and their union didn't have theforesight to see what a salary cap would do. "The '90s player is about getting paid first. Not aboutworking for that pay." Now many high-priced NFL veterans are out of work, and even more back-upplayers were forced to take pay cuts. NFL owners have the best excuse in the world. "The salary capmade me do it," ignoring the fact that the same amount of money is coming into the league. MajorLeague Baseball, the NHL and the NBA are all having labor problems simultaneously because thecollective bargaining agreements in the three sports expired at about the same time. The problem inthe NHL is part resentment and part stupidity. The resentment comes from the players and is aimed atthe owners and new commissioner Gary Bettman, a businessman brought in by the owners to help themstreamline their business. The stupidity is on the part of the owners for forcing apostponementof theseason until Oct. 15 and threatening a lockout when the NHL is at its highest popularity ever. Thepostponement is essentially a lockout. Players agreed to play the season under the current laboragreement and work out the problems later. However, the owners don't want to start another seasonunder an agreement they desperately want to change. The NBA and the NBA player's union are not even on the same court. The union wants the draft eliminated. Players would then enter the league as freeagents. Owners say that would destroy the league. They're right. The NBA owners want to furtherrestrict free-agency, enforce a stricter salary cap and install a rookie salary cap. The union shouldautomatically lose on all accounts for even mentioning that ridiculous draft elimination proposal. " Nonew negotiations are being held because the union is waiting for aU.S. Court of Appeals ruling regardingthe legality of the salary cap, college draft and right of first refusal involving free agents. Look for an NBApostponement, if not a lockout, before the regular season opens Nov. 4. But don't get too cozy if itdoesn't happen. The owners are also considering a player lockout around Thanksgiving. Sports fans are the sole reason professional sports exist. But in the end, it's always the fans who feel the worst aboutthe strikes and lockouts of their beloved sports. Seemingly powerless, the fans just have to sit there andtake it. The owners and players both know that no matter what happens, the fans will always come back. — Magic Johnson 4;AWU «i«*wHlt;twi- Att Mfcm**s»*w(«, KENYON'S ICE CREAMPARLOUR Home Made Ice Cream Daily 2:00-10:00 W.

The Bellingham organization, formerlyaffiliated with the Seattle Mariners, have been experiencing some major, exciting changes.Question: Why did the Seattle Mariners withdraw their affiliation from Bellingham? Answer: Theywanted to consolidate their operations and get them as close to Seattle as possible. They ended theirplayer development contract with the Calgary team, which was their AAA team. At the same time,Tacoma ended their affiliation with the Oakland Athletics, which allowed Seattle to move their AAA teamfrom Calgary to Tacoma. At the same time they did this, Everett team served notice to the SanFrancisco Giants that they wanted to discontinue their affiliation, which opened up the opening, so the Mariners could pull out of Bellingham and move to Everett. Question: Is this radical of an interleaguechange common to baseball? Answer: It is not that uncommon. I suspect that our 18-year affiliationwith the Mariners is one of the top ten. There are so many reasons for changes, probably as many asthere are people. I think the main reasons are minor league owners being disgruntled or the option tomove to better facilities. Question: What was behind the rumored move to Pasco? Answer: Pasco andthe Tri- Cities are building a new 4,000- seat stadium. The stadium hasn't been started yet, but thefunding has already been approved for it. They were interested in bringing a professional baseball team,obviously, in there to play in their stadium. We were considering a possible move to there, as a result of the fact that our facility here was not meeting professional baseball guidelines. Early indications,as of about a month ago, the city of Bellingham was not prepared to make those changes. At that timewe started seeking alternatives and that is when the Pasco situation became a possibility. Question:How are the Bellingham facilities lacking? Answer: Major league baseball has specific guidelines thateach stadium must adhere to. Primarily it (the problem) is with clubhouse related items. There is notraining room in our clubhouse. There are no laundry facilities in our clubhouse. The restroom facilitiesare limited at best. The shower facilities are limited. In the visiting clubhouse, there are no lockers, no place for them to put their gear, they just have a big room. There is no manager's office for the visitors.There is also no training room for visitors. Question: What would be the cost of getting the clubhouse upto par? Answer: The cost that has been approved at this point is $90,000. The city recently made thisallocation. Question: What was the substance behind the rumors of host family conflict? Answer: At the end of the season there seemed to be a great amount of dissension between the host families and ourfront office. It is unfortunate, and hopefully whatever those items are, we can learn from them. Itcentered around them feeling not appreciated. We were not running the host program. We started it,and then the second year we had some people volunteer to run the program. We became liaisons,and not the prime movers of the program. I think that ended up bringing on the demise of the program.Because the people who were involved in it, I surmise, felt that they were not appreciated, there was notmuch interaction. That was not by design, it was just how the program evolved. Apparently they hadsome expectations that we were not meeting. We still plan on having a host family program next year.We may or may not have it with all the same people. What we do plan on doing next year is internalizing the program, so we would have significant contact with the host family. Question: What kind of dealdoes Bellingham have set up with the San Francisco Giants? Answer: We're in the same league. We'restill single A. Everything is similar to what we had with the Mariners. Wehavesigned a four-year playerdevelopment contract with the Giants. This means we are guaranteed that they will be here for aminimum of four years before.there could be any possible changes. Question: How did you get involvedin the Bellingham organization? Answer: I bought the team in 1989 from the local owners. I have hadsix seasons with the Mariners and now I'm starting with the Giants. Question: Has it been asuccessful venture for you? Answer: I wanted to see if I could create something that was a verypositive thing, that the community would respond to. To that extent it has been really successful. Thecommunity has really responded well. There are a lot of fans. Question: What are you going to dowith all of theBellingham Mariner memorabilia? Answer: We are probably going to have a sale. We mayhold larger items for auction. There are some things that one would not ordinarily be able to buy.Question: What is to be watched for in the upcoming season? Answer: We are going to become abetter baseball franchise. We are going to be doing a lot of public relations and marketing. We are prettyopen; there are a lot . of opportunities. The Giants are a pretty classy organization. Is he out for seasonOr's Londo gonna play? By Stephanie Thomson Front reporter The loud "pop" occurred on a playOrlondo Steinauer had made a thousand times before. "The first thing that came to my mind was 'Wework so hard in the off-season, in the weight room and on the track,'" Steinauer said. The juniorcornerback was returning an interception during Western's 42-14 rout of Willamette on Sept. 24, a day inwhich.he also set the Western all-time career punt return yardage mark (503). "It just flashes throughyour mind that all of this hard work could possibly be taken away from you that quick. Everyone'salways saying 'Play every play like it's your last,' but it doesn't really hit home until it happens to you." After that "pop," which was initially diagnosed as a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee,.Steinauer's season was thought to be .over. But after he underwent a magnetic reasonance imagingtest, doctors decided that the ligament was not torn, and have given Steinauer the option to try and playwith a knee brace. "(The doctors) weren't convinced that it was a torn ACL just by the outside tests,"Steinauer said. "And so that gave me a little hope there. (During the MRI) I was praying that maybe I'dget a shot to play this season, and it looks right now that I will." "The prognosis is looking good,"defensive coordinator Robin Ross said. "And Orlondo, besides being a very good football player, isalso one of the captains. Any time. you lose a captain you're talking about (losing) leadership." However, if Steinauer is not able to return, there is a good possibility he will be granted hardship from the NAIA,which means that he wouldn't lose a year of eligibility. Steinauer said he wouldn't risk further injury bytrying to come back too soon. "If it was that bad^ then they wouldn't give me the option to use the brace," Steinauer said. "(But) that option is available to me, and I'm going to try it out. If I don't play in agame, hardship is still there. If it doesn't feel good in practice, then I'm not going to push it in a game. Soit's not really at risk." Steinauer added his ties to the team are a big motivational factor in hisdetermination to return. "We go through so much as a team in the off-season," Steinauer said. "Andit's just tough not to be apart of it. And anyone with competitiveness in them wants to be out and be anactive part of the team. "I want to do anything I can to help this team win," Steinauer said, "make thedefense the best in the conference, and as we all know if we can be the best defense in thisconference, then it is one of the best in the nation." In other injury-related news, the Vikings lost theirstarting tight end Christian Evans for the season. He suffered a torn medial colateral ligament in practiceon Wednesday. Evans was tied for the team lead in receptions (ten catches for 103 yards). His injurywas the second blow to the offense this week following the loss of Jon Brunagh.

The recentruling on allowable evidence in Paul Hill's case showed this. Paul Hill is accused of fatally shooting Dr.John Britton of the Ladies' Clinic in Pensacola, Fla., a clinic that provides abortion services. Dr. Britton's companion, James Barrett, was also killed. The court has ruled Hill's lawyers may enter evidenceproving whatever actions Hill took against the doctor were "necessary and justified." Allowing justification for murder other than self-defense could induce detrimental changes in the law. It suggests that everyperson has the legal right to interfere in the lives of complete ^^^H iMIBlIl iSBdR^N^iBlii H^MBI^^^sM^OJ ^ ^ ^ ^ j ^ i M i P I l ^^ strangers, if they feel it's for the stranger's supposed "benefit." This happens toomuch already, without legal precedent. The court's ruling gives Hill' s defense a green light to intrude onthe clinic by photographing and even checking the clinic's equipment. Butmostimportantly, it suggeststhe possibility that Hill can prove himself justified for committing two murders. The judgment could alsoallow Hill to justify his actions by entering into evidence the Bible story of Phineas and Zimiri, on whichhe based his own book, "Should We Defend Born and Unborn Children with Force?" In the story, Zimiriand her lover are murdered by Phineas when he drives a stake through their tent. According to TheProgressive, this story lies behind many fanatic racist and anti- Semitic Christian identity movements as their justification for "killing sinners." Dangerous precedents could be established with this case. If Paul Hill uses this story, what's to stop white supremacists from using it in their own murder trials — and itfrom working? This ruling changes a long-standing policy to disregard this "necessity defense." DavidCrane, of Operation Rescue in Virginia said about Hill's case: "Who committed the greater crime? Thecitizens who stand by and allow the children to be murdered or this one man who stopped a serial killerfrom killing more children?" The judge also asked this question through his ruling. A frighteningstatement by Tom Metzger of the White Aryan Resistance also runs along these lines. Metzger saidabout Hill, "If the guy who did the shooting in some way protected Aryan women and children, then WAR condones the killing." Paul Hill's lawyers basically made this same statement. Keep in mind they wantto prove, "whatever action he may have taken against a doctor who UCKLOAD SALE October 7-10Food Fun Visit our Oktoberfest Beer Qarden, Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, and morel Contests with over 100prizes* Musical Entertainment* Fun for the whole family I Monster Trucks!

Inother words, the ends justify the means — one of the most dangerous idioms in history. After this,could the court rule it legal to murder people working at a nuclear weapons facility? Sure. By killingthem, they could be preventing the "greater evil" of nuclear warfare. The truth is, Paul Hill shot twopeople. All the court should bring into evidence are his fingerprints on the gun and the bullets that killedtwo people. The court should be blind to Hill's personal justifications. Instead, it should continue toconsider his motives as a reason to prosecute, not as an excuse in his defense. ALASKAEMPLOYMENT - Fishing Industry - Students Needed!

OP/ED The Western Front — October 7, 1994 FRONTLINE Addressing ad controversy Severalmembers of the campus community have expressed concern aboutarecentadvertisementin TheWesternFront. I would like to address this issue. First of all, the newspaper's advertising staff andeditorial staff are separate entities. The editor-in-chief is head of the editorial staff and the productionmanager is head of the advertising staff. The entire newspaper is staffed by full-time students, and wehave faculty advisers for both departments. The staff box underneath the Frontline in every issue clearlystates that the advertising in no way represents the opinion of the newspaper. Most advertising decisionsare made completely separate and without input from the editorial side of the newspaper. We have amutual understanding not to interfere with each other's work. The Western Front has several advertisingstandards and guidelines. Forinstance, wedo not advertise illegal products, hard liquor or tobacco, andwe do not carry ads that are sexually explicit. Any other advertising policies are loosely structuredbecause problems inevitibly emerge in across-the-board policies about what is appropriate or inappropriate ad material for a university newspaper. Those decisions are made on an ad-by-ad basis. Our policieshave been questioned lately because of an advertisement published in this paper that some people feel is "racist" or "stereotypical." We have recieved many letters to the editor about this—all of which areprinted in today' s paper—and the issues presented in these letters are important to discuss. The ad inquestion was always just that: itis apaid advertisement that has nothing to do with the editorial content ofthe paper. However, "sensitivity," "diversity" and "racism" are very real and important issues that theuniversity is constantly trying to confront—as it should be. This is the perfect place for discussion. Asstudents, we are here to learn how to deal with such problems. Let's face it, because most Westernstudents are white, many can't see that the ad could be offensive to some people. I believe the medianeed to be sensitive to this issue. I don't want to sound hypocritical in this matter; however, I want tolisten to all sides of the argument before making any decisions. One question we should all be askingourselves is whether or not this advertisement perpetuates racism on campus. Obviously a single personis not able to make this decision for an entire campus; that is why the ad has remained in the paper.Would eliminating the ad — along with all other supposedly racist and stereotypical images — endprejudices and hatred? I am hoping within the next week or two, discussion will continue andunderstanding will ensue. I encourage people to write letters to voice their concerns about this issue andothers. Only through discussion can we come to an understanding. — Vanessa Blackburn Editor-in-Chief The Western Front Editor-in-Chief, Vanessa Blackburn; Managing editor, Tedra Meyer; News editor, Pat McCarrell; asst.

Don't leave Fido tied up A dog — man's best friend, the buddy that meets its owners at the door whenthey come home, a person's company when nobody else has time to visit, the pet that loves—evenwhen it is neglected. Wait a minute! Why would Fido be neglected? Many students live in confines notsuitable for pets. These places are not healthy for dogs to stay in all day. However, bringing dogs oncampus is not the answer. More and more I see dogs tied to various building signs, trees and lightpolesaround campus. They yelp at any passerby that happens to give them a glance and sit panting in thesun because they haven't had a drink for hours. Lots of people would like to have their best friend waiting for them when they get out of class, but dog owners shouldn't torture their pets for their ownsatisfaction. Tied up dogs always seem so happy to see their owners when the confinement is over, butwhy wouldn't they be? After being attached to a lightpole half the day, any animal would be elated tohave the jailer set them free. If bringing a pet to school is a way to show love, maybe a more humaneway would be to leave it home. Dogs, however, don't belong confined to any small space. They shouldhave enough room to roam and exercise, a place to do their business, and food and water madeavailable. Dogs also need attention. They don't deserve to be loved only when it is convenient for theowner, such as between classes or after 10 p.m. study sessions. Dogs deserve better from the ownerswho they give so much love to. They deserve a home with a regular routine where they can be loved andtaken care of when needed. Bringing pets to college can ease the transition from home life to schoollife, but at whose expense? Whether or not people should have a pet is their decision, but it isdisgusting the way some pets are left on campus. It's notresponsible ownership, and if a dog owner can't treat a dog at least as well as he treats others, maybe they don't deserve to be one. Sexist costumesstill prevail October brings autumn leaves, pumpkin patches and Halloween. This year, the trick is onthe youngsters and their parents who will have to battle sexual prejudice in costume selection. Althoughthe media pronounced 1992 the Year of the Woman, 1994 is winding up as the Year Man Struck Back.In addition to the witches, devils and ghouls customary for Halloween, one Hayward, Calif, companydistributed costumes with names such as "Bride" and "Harem Girl." Boys wishing to go out as a groomor a harem boy will just have to hope for next year. Brides generally do not conjure condescendingimages. They are true historical figures and should not be eliminated from one's vocabulary or storeshelves just because of some potentially upsetting ancient imagery. •••Ill ;tfog||rci|: Frontreporter Harem girls have similar historical and cultural value, but they have an added image as property that is more likely to offend liberated women. Children rarely, if ever, choose their Halloween costumesto indicate their politics (although their parents might want to make the decision for them). Selection bychildren has more to do with popular television and movie characters than socio-political significance.Nevertheless, the bride and harem girl costumes represent anachronisms in post-sexual-liberationAmerica. It would be almost as politically incorrect to market slave, savage or American Indiancostumes. Costume manufacturers are not necessarily involved in some patriarchal plot to produceviolent boys and passive girls, but any store's Halloween aisle shows what designers and retailerscalculated to be hot items. They assumed boys would prefer action-oriented characters such as ninjasand monsters, and girls would choose fancy, frilly costumes like princesses and angels. America maybe on the road to leveling the playing field for women and minorities, but encouraging sex-rolestereotypes in Halloween costumes is a devilish method for bending the minds of an impressionablegroup. ---------- Western Front - 1994 October 7 - Page 19 ---------- October 7, 1994 — The Western Front OP/ED. 19 Letters to the Editor Advertisement angers many atWestern Dear Editor, The juxtaposition of your new dark-skinned savage logo next to an article on therecent cross-burning in the county (Sept. 27, p. 10) was more than ironic. Unfortunately, the editors ofThe Front may be the only ones to fail to recognize how stereotypical, offensive and racist is suchimagery. Few would not condemn the physical consequences of racism, which range from verbal abuseto genocide. Should we not equally shun the racist ideologies and symbols that are associated with, andoften drive, that violence? Your "Club Borneo" logo draws on the reservoir of racist imagery establishedover the course of centuries. Bone-in-hair implies cannibalism; spear and grass-skirt connote"primitivism;" exaggerated anatomical features suggest the antithesis of an ideal (Caucasian) physicaltype. This logo was repeated 10 times on both Sept. 27 and Sept. 30 and 13 times on Oct. 4. More thanoversight, this is overkill. Or is the hidden intent to change our Viking mascot (perhaps not in itself a badidea)? We can just hear it now: "Go, Savages, Go!" Instead, we suggest that the editors go. Go back toyour comparative GUR classes, to learn cross-cultural awareness and tolerance. Go also forward, toward journalistic ideals that illuminate and educate, rather than toward those that demand and that perpetuate ignorance. James Loucky, Maria Chavez, Stephen Frenkel Dear Editor, If we won't survive as anisolated nation or cultures, as claimed on page 12 (Oct. 4) of The Western Front, will we survive as anisolated university? The Club Borneo ads you chose to accept are disgusting. Actions continue to refutewords and plans on this campus, at least with regard to diversity. Ron Riggins Dear Editor, On behalf ofthe North Puget Sound Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,which discussed the issue Oct. 3, this letter denounces your use of the Club Borneo logo since fallquarter began and calls on you for an apology and its withdrawal. Originally, I believe, it was part of anAccent section ad, but it is now floating freely as filler you have apparently chosen as a Front highlight;nothing else recurs like its 10 uses in 24 pages on Sept. 30. It is a racially defiling stereotype, of the kind I and colleagues here spend class time showing and explaining as a product of 500 years of racistattitudes toward Africa: a black "tribal" male, with spear, bone in the hair, pot belly, frond skirt, splayedbare feet, etc. Other peoples of color endure similar displays. That you accept "Borneo Bob" as part of an ad is bad enough. For you to repeat it elsewhere in The Front, gratuitously, is vile, without the faintestjustification on commercial or free expression grounds. It both reflects on your judgment and, if notchallenged, projects Western as actively (because complicitly) racist. You at The Front are a very publicpart of what we all are. Have the decency, please, to explain your rationale for the logo's use; then, getrid of it, now. in a grass skirt with bones in the hair and holding a spear. I personally found this drawingoffensive and racist and cannot for the life of me figure out what in the world it was doing there. Thisgraphic occurred 10 times throughout the newspaper, and as far as I could discern, it had no reason forbeing there other than as a filler. As a student newspaper, I would hope that the staff makes every effortto represent all segments of the student body, regardless of whether they are a part of the editorial staff. I would encourage you to make more of an attempt to think along these lines when deciding what goes ineach edition. I would also hope that the staff decides to make a public apology for including this kind ofgraphic in our newspaper. We are all here to learn, and I hope that this letter has helped enlighten you to another point of view and to increase your sensitivity toward others different than yourselves.

Ross on low rung of pay ladder His $74,200salary may rise, but boost to equality unlikely By Peanna Shaw He's the poor boy on the block. At$74,200, Western President G. Robert Ross earns less money per year than any other president of afour-year college in state. And although a bigger slice of the budgetary pie may be served up soon, hisportion is unlikely to change his ranking. Western's Board of Trustees probably will discuss a raise forRoss at its February board meeting, although no agenda has been set, board member Curtis Dal-rymple said. He said the board normally tries to review the president's salary once a year, usually inJanuary, but a cancellation of this month's meeting postponed the matter until next month. Ross, whobecame president of Western with a $70,000 salary in January of 1983, received his last raise over 18months ago. But whatever the salary boost settled on, Dalrymple said it may not pull Ross out of hisplace in the salary basement, and it certainly won't be of the magnitude of the salary boost received byWashington State University President Glenn Terrell. Terrell was granted a whopping 19.3 percentpay hike by WSU's Board of Regents in a controversial November executive session, increasing his1985 salary from $88,884 to $106,000 a year. The increase, which would have made Terrell the state'shighest-paid employee, brought howls of protest from around the state and was reduced last Friday to amore seemly 6.7 percent increase, in keeping with raises granted university faculty. Dalrymplespeculated that Western's boards also will hold the presidential salary boost close to the 6.7 percentfigure received by faculty. A full 6.7 percent hike would place Ross's salary at $79,500, only slightlyabove that of Joseph Olander, the new presidet of the Evergreen State College. Olander was hired onJan. 1 for a salary of $78,588, a figure called "out of line" by Dalrymple. "I think the president ofEvergreen is overpaid and he'll probably continue to be paid more than CENTRAL EASTERNEVERGREEN WESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS' SALARIES DEKtl (Source—Council of Presidents Office, Olympia.) the president of Western even after a raise, but I can't do anything aboutwhat Evergreen's board pays their president." he said. Paul Ford, vice president for Academic Affairs,also deplored the discrepancy of salaries between Olander and Ross, noting that Evergreen is aboutone-fourth the size of Western, based on student population. He also pointed out that the salaries ofpresidents of Washington's other two regional universities were substantially higher than thatreceived by Ross. "The salary here should be comparable to a peer institution out of state or in state,but Western has none in the state," Ford said, explaining a peer institution is one that approximates insize and scope.

According to the letter, many more students applied for financial aid, and were eligible for StateNeed Grants this year than had been anticipated. Therefore, cuts had to be made. "It took us bysurprise," said John Klacik, acting director of student financial aid. In August, the financial aiddepartment first heard of a problem with funding at a CPE meeting. It was announced thai the statehad over-extended itself by $1.1 million with State Work Study and State Need Grant awards, Klaciksaid. Tentative grant amounts usually are established in the spring in order for students to make plans for the following school year. But, in the summer, campus administrators understood that action mightbe taken to cut back the awards, Klacik said. Klacik's committee asked if the cuts could wait untilspring pending the legislature's decision to provide students with supplemental aid, but was notified inDecember the cuts would take place wintei quarter. In total, $40,450 was revoked 1 from students atWestern, he said. One state grant recipient, senior Katy Hollingsworth, wondered, "How can theypromise money they didn't have to begin with? I had no idea there was even a chance that wouldhappen. I was counting on that money for things I need." Grant recipients could get another $50 to $70cut I n their payments this spring, without any refunds of money lost this quarter, Klacik said. But theCPE has requested that the state provide supplemental aid to cover the funds lost. If the legislatureagrees to this request, all State Need Grants will be reinstated to their original level, and the loss thisquarter will be refunded. Klacik said. "We have no idea what will happen,* Klacik said. Ine Legislaturehas until June to decide if ft will reimburse students with supplemental aid. ---------- Western Front - 1985 January 22 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 ANDY PERDUE Conflicts over the Bakerview IceArena may end Western's home season. Home hockey ends? By Bob Marjanovich A conflictbetween Western's hockey team and the Bellingham Minor Hockey Association regarding the rentalagreement of Bakerview Ice Arena could cause the cancellation of the Vik- • ings remaining homegames. "Our agreement that we had with the arena (which is run by Minor Hockey Association) inregard to ice rental, crowd control and so on, was in question, and we weren't satisfied with some ofthe things they were asking, so we canceled any further activities . . . until we were able to work out acontract," Coach John Utendale said. He said at a meeting last week the association resulted in acontract being agreed to verbally by both sides, but he would not disclose the terms for fear theymay hamper the negotiations. The conflict was not the cause of the Bellingham Blazer gamecancellation on Jan. 18, Viking hockey Manager Chet Cery said. "The Blazers canceled the game astheir playoffs were coming up," Corey said. The main issue in the current negotiations is crowd control and how to handle the alcohol problem in the stands, Utendale said. Utendale said the team will be incharge of providing security for future home games. As of press time, the Friday game against theUniversity of Washington at the arena was on, Utendale said, but should the negotiations "fall apart," the game will be canceled.

Lines growing larger for Arntzen IBM computers By Andy Perdue Students tired of waiting in linefor textbooks and financial aid checks shouldn't bother going to Arntzen Hall computer center. JoanHayes, academic services coordinator for the computer center, said she is trying to devise a plan toexpand the Arntzen Hall computer center's hours. Currently the center is open 65 hours per week:from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and from noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. The center houses terminalsfor the VAX 2 and RJE mainframe computers and about 30 microcomputers (micros). The problem isn'twith the VAX 2 and RJE terminals, Hayes said, but with the micros. Doug Wharton, Arntzen Hallmicrolab aide, said that from the middle of the quarter they start a reservation system so people can gettime on the micros. But during the last three or four weeks of the quarter people are waiting forreservations or a chance to use the' first free computer available. The Saturday before the end of lastquarter people were standing in line from 6:30 a.m. until 8 a.m. when the center opened up, Whartonsaid. The IBM PC's have the best memory capacity on campus for student use, Warton explained,adding, Arntzen Hall has the most IBM PC's on campus. The biggest problem is the computer centerbudget and trying to stay within it. Hayes said the use of the computers has increased, "but dollars have not." Unlike the Bond Hall computer center,which is open 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week, theArntzen Hall center must have a consultant or aide constantly on duty to check out memory discs.The Bond Hall center houses only VAX I and RJE terminals, which work independently of these discs. Hayes has proposed adding 30 hours to the 650 hours for the quarter. The cost would be about $125Hayes said. She said it would help a little, but "if it doesn't, we'll see if we can do some more." Hayessaid other departments know the center's needs. "Everyone knows we need more money for staff," shesaid. Hayes said she hopes different departments will help pick up the slack by providing money.Wharton said business administration and computer science classes use the Arntzen Hall center themost. He doesn't see the problem getting any better "unless they want to expand the budget, getmore computers, or something." Hayes said more computers aren't the answer, though, because thecenter doesn't have room for any more computers. I Democracy In Action. The constitution forWestern's Faculty Senate says the group of professors is "...empowered to speak and act for the faculty in university affairs..." The central document governing the relations of faculty with the university,according to the university Fact Book, is The Faculty Handbook. At its last meeting, the SenateExecutive Council appointed a "working group" to update portions of that handbook. The group,chaired by Robert Thorn-dike, will forward its recommen-. dations to the Executive Council, which continuesto meet in sessions closed to the public and press. Speak Up. Professor Arthur Solomon of Western'sspeech department would like the assistance of any student with a stuttering difficulty to help with hisseminar on stuttering this quarter. He can be contacted at College Hall 251 or by leaving a message inthe communications office. • /Steeper Summer Savings Set. Western students applying for financialaid next year will be expected to save $1000 from summer employment to be applied to college coststhe next fall. The minimum summer savings amount formerly was $800. Acting Financial Aid DirectorJohn Klacik said the increase was made to keep pace with rising college costs and was the first suchincrease in three years. • More Aid Dollars. Klacik also noted that the Council for Post-secondaryEducation has requested that the Legislature grant a 100 percent increase in financial aid for 1985-86. If granted, the money would be spread over State Need Grants, State Work Study and aid programs for part-time and graduate students. • Announcement of the Week.

Prayer, peace answer pro-life march By KarenJenkins About 3,700 people, many carrying signs with slogans such as "Equal Rights for UnbornWomen" and "Save the Whales and the Fish, What About Our Babies?" met in Olympia Monday toprotest the legalization of abortion. The demonstrators, including about 20 from Western, came from allover the state. As they walked from a parking lot, past the Temple of Justice and up the steps of thecapitol, they were subdued, More than 3,000 March for Life deomonstrators gathered on the steps of theLegislative building in Olympia Friday afternoon to protest the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision tolegalize abortions. some softly singing "God Bless ' America." The rally is sponsored every year byMarch for Life to commemorate the Supreme Court decision of Jan. 22, 1973 that legalized abortion.After the marchers ascended the steps, Pastor Bruce Norquist, from the People's Church stood on apodium facing the steps and opened the rally with a prayer that God would "somehow stop the holocaust that rages around us." Then pro-life legislators from across the state addressed the crowd, encouragingthem not to give up the fight against abortion. Rep. GlennDodds (R-Chehalis) likened people who don'toppose abortion to those in Nazi Germany" who said after the Holo-cause, 'I didn't know.'" Dodds ledthe crowd in shouting "Yes!" "So the people in the halls (of the capitol) will know we're here," he said.Steve Fuhrman(R-Kettle Falls) told the crowd to "go home and pray and teach and educate people about abortion." One demonstrator from Western, Brian McHenry, said he was there because "I really feelGod is the creator of all life and it's not our choice to determine if someone lives or not." Asked what hethought the rally would accomplish he said he believed "each individual is going to make an impact ohthe legislator." Another Western student, Paula Pliscke, said they are "hoping to 'open some people'seyes to reality." Rep.. Linda Smith (R-Vancouver) said such demonstrations "keep the issue verymuch alive. We have to work at this problem one chip at a time. Next . time, well make it." At theclosing of the rally, Kathy 'McEntee, president of the Washington State March for Life, told the crowd,"We are a peaceful people. We condemn the burning of buildings. We also condemn the violence thatgoes on inside those buildings." "I beg of you, if any of you know anyone who is tempted to violence,please stop them,"she added. During the rally, a man with, a sign that read,"Reproductive Rights, NotTerrorism," and a woman with a sign that bore a coat hanger with a red line drawn across it, stood in the middle of the crowd. Some pro-life demonstrators attempted to cover the signs with their own. One ofthe speakers urged them to leave the counter-demonstrators alone and invited them to come to thepodium and express gt; their views. They declined, but continued to '• hold up their signs. After therally, an impromptu debate sprang up between the pro-life and pro-choice demonstrators. The woman,Gretchen Junker, said she came "because I felt that there was a statement to be made that wasn't going to be made." "Even if abortion becomes illegal it will still go on,"Junker said. "I'm not advocatingabortion," she continued, "but sometimes it is the only solution." Christopher Kalish, 6, (above) andGretchen Junker, (right) voice opinions in Olympia. Photos by Janice Keller Strictness of drunk drivinglaws debated By Shelley Nicholl Whether or not drunk driving laws are strict enough was the mainquestion discussed by a five-member panel and the 15- member audience at a meeting organized byJohn Hawkins of the Program Commission, last Thursday. Representing Mothers Against Drunk Drivers,Supreme Court Judge Frank Marrow said he believes taking away a person's car when he has beendriving while impaired is the answer. Taking away his license is not enough, he said. But Rob Jones,Whatcom County public defender, said the present laws are strict enough. "A DWI (driving whileimpaired) conviction can be catastrophic," he said. He described the consequences of a first offense: a $400 fine, a mandatory day in jail, driver's license suspension for 90 days returned after an alcoholevaluation and probation for one year. In addition, the driver must pay high-risk insurance. But theaudience was not sympathetic. One man from the audience hushed the crowd when he said his motherwas killed by a drunk driver in 1982 and the driver received only a four-month sentence for negligenthomicide. Officer Green of the Bellingham Police Dear Western Front, We, here at Western View, aretired of the rap that the broadcast industry has received from you print-media types. You sit around andtwiddle your ink-stained thumbs and say that broadcast journalism isn't "true" journalism, but a second-rate form of dispensing information (you can look up the bigger words in a dictionary — provided that youcan read). It is in this spirit that we, broadcasters extraordinaire, challenge you, the newsprint sniffinghacks, to a basketball game to determine just who is superior. Please respond to our challenge in print.May we also point out that while broadcast journalism may be less detailed than print, it Departmentadmitted not enough police are available to get all the drinking drivers off the road. "The problem needs to be dealt with by people on other ends," he said. Jones suggested better public transit would alleviatepart of the drunk driving problem. If people had an economic, efficient way to get home after they hadbeen drinking, they wouldn't use their cars, he said. Many people agreed with' the woman from theaudience who said people should take a stand on a personal level and tell people who have been drinking not to drive. cannot be used to line parakeet cages.

No matter how good the style may be, it is disappointing not to find out themurderer's identity. In "The Second Awakening of Christa Klages," it is the main character's identity thatis never revealed. The police are looking for Klages because she robbed a bank. But at the same timeKlages is looking for herself. She is seeking to resolve the conflict between her altruistic dedication toothers and her own needs. If the film is looked at merely as a character study, then its lack of suspense is not a problem. In fact, the film works quite well as a character study. Christa Klages is a fas- •cinating person. It is because Klages is made so fascinating that it is disappointing when the personalresolution, implied by the film's enigmatic ending, is not revealed to the audience. "The SecondAwakening of Christa Klages" will be shown at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. tonight in Lecture Hall 4.Renowned pianist here for performance tonight By Therese McRae Leonard Pennario, world-renownedpianist whose talent has been rivaled by few will play Western tonight.

The students,Audrey Spurrier and Dorothy Picht, were part of "Women in Metals," a show last year also at theChrysalis Gallery. Spurrier's work at this exhibit consists of jewelry, particularly pins. A "Fortune CookiePin," made of brass and acrylic, reads: "You have a deep interest in all that is artistic." Spurrier usescombinations of silver, acrylic, brass, copper, nickel, bronze and paint in making her creations. NancyHammer and Lynn Rockwood, both professional artists from Seattle, were invited to the show when twostudents from last year's metals exhibit were unable to attend. Hammer uses steel to developarchitectural pieces such as "Initial 1 /Triangle 2" and "Segments of a Slope." "Steel Fan" is a thick,upright piece of black steel, asymmetrically-shaped as an opened folding fan. Rockwood uses bronze inher sculptures "Earth Elements IV" and "Earth Elements V." She positions a triangular seat on pencil-thin supports to form a "Rose Chair." On the seat is a triangle of small stones. Picht, a jeweler whennot studying , shows some of her jewelry as well as "Triptich," three copper wall-mount sculptures,and "Ran-cho Delux,"a mixed media sculpture she calls "an environmental piece." G a l l e r y D i r ec t o r K i t ty Brougham said she believes a metals show is something that interests a lot of peoplebecause it gives them a chance to see something they normally wouldn't. "I think that there are some really innovative things being done with metal," she said, "and this gives people an education as to what is being done." LIISA HANNUS.

Maybe it was the prediction of George Orwell or the vilevision of Nostradamus, but the music of 1984 was a bland sophomoric symphony.

This is not meant to be an insult to those who bought such products. Recordcompanies have tightened the choices of what the public can buy. So this gives us a choice from Ratt to Prince and whatever falls in between. The bands that don't fall into this mega-sales category get lost inthe shuffle. To complain about 1984 could become a long and endless process. It would end up dull anddepressing. The music was unimaginative and the lyrics were simplistic; aimed directly at us—thepassive Pepsi generation. Two examples of this would be Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At Night," andCyndi Lauper's "She Bop." The latter being a blatant bastardization of Gene Vincent's rock masterpiece"Be-Bop-A-Lula." Why think when we can react. Right? The record companies have us right in theirhands. Last year also was big in musical media hype: 1. The Jackson's "Victory Tour" that raped andpillaged people for $30 a ticket. 2. Lionel Richie sang live to millions (via television) at the OlympicGames. 3. Ronald Reagan praised Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." album. Big deal. Despitean overall constipated year in music, a few noteworthy things managed to slip out. The pleasantsurprises being: The Honeydrippers, Julian Len-non, Lou Reed and Spinal Tapp. A couple of excellentjazz releases came out last year too. Jazz guitarist Kazumi Watanabe's "Mobo I" and Shadowfax's "The Dreams of Children" were among the few musical standouts in 1984. ^ gt; WEEKEND BRUNCHES$100 OFF ALL BRUNCHES THRU JANUARY EVENING SPECIALS Open: Mon.-Fri. 11-7 pm - Sat.10-3 pm, Sun. 10-12 = S ^9 $1°° OFF 1140 NORTH STATE 733-4927 | SANDWICHES THRU JAN.ACROSS FROM THE HERALD BUILDING i Serving Home-Cooked Food For Over 9 Years! = I ALLVEGETARIAN '"• "IIIIIIP1!* m m m m i M i u i i STUDENTS!

As Peace Corpsvolunteers, they left their homes, families and friends to go to a foreign country with none of the luxuriesof home. In 1982, McCarten, 12 credits short of her elementary education degree, traveled to Hondurasto perform teacher training. Honduras is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Ithas a 50 percent literacy rate. Three-fifths of its population are subsistence farmers, farmers who cangrow only enough to feed their families. McCarten said one of the hardest things to deal with was thedrastic reduction in the standard of living as compared to the United States. "There's malnutritioneverywhere. There's no cars, no television, no running water and very little electricity. It was achallenge not having those luxuries," she. explained. "But I wanted to have that experience. If theycould do it every day, why couldn't I," McCarten added. Life in Honduras was simple and entertainmentwas scarce. A major pastime was talking with neighbors. "I had to rely on myself for entertainment. Iread a lot and wrote letters. We did have one movie theater in town. I really missed having a phone tocall up a friend and say,'let's go out somewhere'," she said. '7/ they don't like you, you're in bigtrouble because you're the only foreigner on the island." Some of her spare time was spent withchildren in her neighborhood. Most of them were 2-to- 10-years-old and couldn't go to school. WhenMcCarten came home from work, all the kids would gather at her house. She taught them colors andnumbers with crayons, puzzles and games. "You see, not everyone could go to school there. The kidshad a few chores to do, but basically had the whole day to themselves. One of the hardest things to getused to was knowing those kids would never have the opportunities children get in America. Their lives will change very little," she explained. McCarten said the experience taught her to be more sensitiveand ANDY PERDUE Peace Corps volunteer David Bracilano said he thought he was in paradise once he learned the language of the island. Although extensive training sessions are required before the Peace Corps sends a person out in the field, no training can prepare someone for everything they'll encounter,she said. McCarten said everyone experiences culture shock. "At first all the villagers stared at meas though I was a tourist. I looked different, I had lighter hair and skin. But as time went by, I blendedin," she said. riecause of the illiteracy rate, "You could always tell a Gringo when she walked down thestreet carrying a book," McCarter added. open to different cultures. She became comfortable living inHonduras. "It was hard to leave, but I knew it was the right time to go. My job was completed. It was themost rewarding experience 111 ever have. Day to day living was a challenge, " she said. She returned to Western to complete her degree. David Bracilano had an even bigger challenge in his assignment.He worked on a small island in Micronesia. He had a bachelor's degree in liberal studies, which didn'tprovide a skill he could share, so the Peace Corps trained him in agriculture. His assignment took him to one of the Marshall Islands, which boasts a coastline of just over one mile. Eighty people inhabit theisland. They speak a language called Marshallese. Only 36,000 people in the world speakMarshallese, and, unfortunately for Bracilano, not one of them was in the Peace Corps, he said."The first six months I was there, 1 was walking around literally in tears. It took me six to nine months to learn the language and get into the flow of gossip. I was the only person there that could speakEnglish and couldn't speak Marshallese. It got pretty lonely," Bracilano explained. "Once Ilearned the language 1 thought 1 was in paradise," he added. Bracilano's job was to teach th islanderssmall-scale farming. They relied on fish and breadfruit, a seasonal fruit found on the island, as theirstaple foods. During the off-season for the fruit, the islanders imported rice from passing boats, hesaid. He taught them how to grow vegetables such as potatos, pumpkins and yams to supplementtheir diets and rid them of their dependence on rice. The islanders didn't take to the new ideas verywell, Bracilano said. They liked the rice and were leery of the new produce. He said he didn't know many ways of preparing pumpkins, yams or potatos so it took a while before the islanders would eatthem. Asked if he tried preparing french fries, he replied, "1 wish I would have thought of that. I guess Ineeded some training in home economics." "You know what was really, funny was I grew popcornbecause I couldn't get regular corn to grow. When I made it for them, they thought it was magic,"Bracilano said. In addition to teaching farming techniques, Bracilano helped the women on the islandform a handicraft co-op. He made contacts with markets on other islands to sell the goods andarranged the exportation of them. He taught them how to use ledgers and inventory sheets and how to manage a small business. He also helped the islanders write a constitution. While Micronesia is still atrusteeship, the Marshall Islands declared their independence in 1981. Bracilano acted as a mediarybetween the rest of the islands and the one he lived on. They all became municipal governments actingin conjunction with each other. He organized four conventions to discuss the constitution and hetranslated the work from formal English to Marshallese. Bracilano said he saw many changes on thelittle island in the three years he was there. When he first arrived in 1979, it looked as; though WorldWar II just had ended. Approximately450 bombs, some weighing 1,000 pounds, were scatteredeverywhere. Nine Japanese Zeros (war planes) were crashed there. "Shortly after I was there, anordinance specialist crewcameand de-bombed the island. They scraped all the soil for bombs. They putall of the bombs in a big pile and blew them off," he said. An old Japanese runway was restored whichallowed a plane to deliver mail and supplies every week. Before the restoration, supplies and mail were delivered by boat about every four months, Bracilano said. Life on the island was slow-paced, peopleentertained themselves by fishing and telling stories. The hardest thing for Bracilano to get used towas the isolation. He relied on the support of the community. "If they don't like you, you're in big troublebecause you're the only foreigner on the island," he explained. Bracilano spent most of his spare timeworking on his master's thesis in anthropology. Bracilano said he experienced more of a culture shockwhen he returned to the United States. "I was home two days and my girlfriend at that time was having a birthday. Her parents took us to the Space Needle for dinner and I ordered an appetizer of smokedsalmon. I was shocked when I got this plate filled with a-half-a-head of lettuce and a few strips ofsalmon. I couldn't believe the waste. I struggled for years to even get lettuce to grow and here 1payed $7.50 to throw half-a-head away," he explained, shaking his head. The Peace Corps hascontinuous recruitment.

Students andfaculty members at Western's Vehicle Research Institute are culminating several years of work at afeverish rate to complete the Viking VII research car. The car will appear at the Society of AutomotiveEngineers' International Congress and Exposition Feb. 15 in Detroit, Mich. "It (the car) must be doneby the middle of February," said Michael Seal, VRI director. The project began several years ago, Sealsaid, but several other VRI projects slowed construction. Now, Seal said, they are able to concentrateall their efforts on the car. John Kutz, a senior who has been working on the car for about two years,said, "We're pretty much just trying to slap it together and make it look beautiful." He said the car isbeing shown at the exhibition in Detroit mainly for publicity. Chrysler has some research projects theVRI would like to get, Kutz said, and the lab wants to show Chrysler what it can do. Jeff Vickers, VRIresearch associate, said the exposition will display prototype vehicles, and the Viking VII will be the only U n manufactured car there. The car features a Subaru-manufactured engine that the VRI partlydesigned last year. Vickers said Subaru was_yery happy with the work done on the engine and was glad it will be in the exhibition. Viking VII is a high-performance sports car that weighs less than 1,000pounds. Vickers said most sports cars weigh between 2,500 and 3,000 pounds. It will get 60 to 70miles-per-gallon on unleaded gas. 'We're pretty much just trying to slap it together and make it lookbeautiful.' The $400 windshield on'the "VII is the same as that used on the car in the television show"Hardcastle and McCormick." The cost of the windshield, as well as the financing of most of the rest ofthe car and transporting it to Detroit, is being paid for by Alcoa Aluminum. By Stanley Holmes WhenPhil Ershler began climbing in high school he had no idea that one day he would make a living in the mountains and be one of a few persons to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. Ershler is aprofessional mountain guide for Rainier Mountaineering. He leads climbs year-round to Mexico,South America, Alaska and Mount Rainier. In 1982 Ershler was a member of Lou Whittaker's China/Everest expedition that failed to reach the summit. On that attempt, Ershler's good friend, and the onlyfemale member of the team, Marty Hoey, died when she fell at 26,000 feet. A year later Ershlerattempted Everest again, this time as a member of the Seven Summits Expedition. Although he didn'treach the summit, other members of that team did. So when Whittaker asked him if he would like to goagain in 1984, he had no problem saying yes. When he returned in November, he. was the only teammember to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. After the usual amount of storms, doubts andsickness that plague an expedition as it moves up the mountain, Ershler and his partner, JohnRoskelley, left the high camp (the highest point on the mountain on which a tent is pitched) for what they hoped would culminate in the summit. At 28,000 feet, Roskelley, who has an ethical objection againsttaking oxygen artificially, turned back, Ershler said. They were climbing the north face of the mountain,which is much colder, and could not be climbed without bottled oxygen. Ershler said the fall season inthe Himalayas also is much colder than the spring. Roskelley was worried about frostbite andhypothermia, he said. At that point, Ershler said he had no difficulties deciding to solo the remaining1,100 feet. "I was so totally consumed with the mechanics of climbing, making sure I picked the rightroute so I could get back, and that I had good climbing technique," he said. "The fact I was aloneheightened my concentration. I knew I couldn't screw up." He reached the summit at 3:45 in theafternoon and spent exactly 15 minutes on top. As he stood alone on the highest ooint on earth, he took a few pic-ures and remembered Hoey and Chris Kerrebrock, another climbing partner killed on Mt.McKin-ley while training for Everest. He said he did not feel euphoric on the summit. The mountainVickers said a research car such as the Viking VII usually costs about $250,000, but this project will run only about $15,000. The main reason for the low cost, Vickers said, is students do most of the work,drastically reducing labor costs. The car will be outfitted with Goodyear tires, which have new specialrubber compounds that help them stick to the road better. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries, makers ofDitzeler Paint, is providing all of the paint. PPG Industries sponsors all of the Indy-circuit cars. TheVRI's research Viking cars have been entering contests since the early 1970s, winning most of them,but Vickers says those contests have become scarce. He attributed that to the fact that the energyscare, which brought about much of the research, is over. The* kind of research the VRI engages in hastaken a backseat to military research. Seal said, "Right now, government is not sponsoring muchresearch unless it's got a military application. The industry seems to be following the lead of thegovernment." s Everest demanded too much concentration. In order to survive the descent, heneeded all the physical and mental strength he could muster. Once he reached high camp, the emotionof standing on the top of the world became more pronounced. Now that he's climbed Everest, he said he hasn't stopped thinking about climbing other mountains in the Himalayas. "If anything, standing onEverest shows you how many things are left to do—you can see them all from the summit," he said. Tomorrow he will be at Western showing slides of the successful climb at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 4.Admission is $3. yplillp^ 'efej»Shia^ :e,"said Mary Carskadon of Stanford erstfj^ o n l ^ s, but theymay be developing (sleep) j ^ ^ ^ | U l ^ ^ | | w ^ | ^ | n ^ i p P M ^^ M i t j ^ | ^^ ighters" before examshinders, rather Kielp^ vigils cause deprivation of REM (rapid npwrnent!|sl keplreiu^ d l f j S i^falw6re£re^ toajfll^ iextremetcal^ j ufrayoijlia^ ^ta;c;kp'\Vh^^ Disorders Clinic^ at :.the-':Sj i^i lt;lIh1verf^ CHRIS BALDWIN rying about school work keeps students (anxiety) takes a long time to work out of the stration/ computer science major, said that :|!e|!i|p suppress REM sleep.

Here, they battle for rebound in the contest won by theVikings, .62-57. — It's been a tough season for Western's men's basketball team, but Saturday night it made up for all the frustration, tripping up Central, 62-57, in overtime at Carver Gym. The Vikings wonthe game at the charity stripe, hitting 26 of 31 free throws, including nine of 12 in overtime, while sending the Wildcats to the line only once all night, where Darrell Tanner hit one of two. "We had to get 'em,"said guard John DeFranco, who hit three of five freebies in the overtime, including one that gave Vikingsthe lead for good at 56-55 with 1:02 to play. "We just decided that we weren t going to foul them," hesaid. "We packed it in on defense, and we weren't going to give them the easy shots inside. We toldourselves that if they were going to beat us, they'd have to do it from the inside." Shane Nickel, thebiggest Viking at6-foot-7, was the one who had to contend with a Central frontline that included 6-8center Ron vanderSchaaf and 6-7 forwards Tanner, who transferred in from Washington, and RodnieTaylor, a transfer from the University of Oregon. "They got in there and forced it up and expected it to go in," Nickel said. "It was good. They are an awesome team. We played well and took it to them."Western led for the first 14 minutes of the game, before Gordon Dixon fired in an 18-footer to giveCentral its first lead of the night at 24-22 with 5:56 remaining in the BlueMo* THE JJttie MOXRESTAURANT SPECIALIZING IN FINE DINING, DANCING, and COCKTAILS.

The Wildcats expanded that margin to 32-25 at the break,then put on an 8-2 burst to take a 40-27 lead with 16:50 to play. It looked as I though the rout was on.Someone forgot to tell the Vikings, though. The turning point of the game came with 10:41 remainingwhen Central committed its seventh foul of the half, sending Western into one-and-one. The Vikings hit17 of 20 free throws after that point. The Vikings clawed their way back into the game, and a pair of TimDickerson free throws cut the margin to 45-41 with 10:15 remaining. Western couldn't come any closer,though, until Larry Tuell hit both ends of a one-and-one with 4:11 to play, cutting the margin to 49-47.DeFranco finally pulled the Vikings even at 49-49, with (what else?) a pair of charity tosses with 1:51to play. Both teams had opportunities to win, as the Wildcats turned the ball overtwice in the final twominutes, and the Vikings turned it over on a traveling call. But they got the ball back, only to have TimNicholas' 19-footer hit the backside of the rim and bounce away at the buzzer. Nicholas' shot came from the same spot where Todd Bailey's jumper gunned down the Wildcats last season, and DeFranco andCoach Bill Westphal remembered. "It was an instant replay," DeFranco said. "I figured it was all over."MIIMMH $2.00 off all kegs — Sunday thru Wednesday Westphal said, "I couldnt believe it. I knew itwas all over; I saw the ball falling through the net, only no one else did." Westphal also complimentedthe crowd. "I couldn't believe the crowd. They were great, they would not let us quit. "We were behind,but I looked around, and I heard the crowd, and I said 'we got this game, it's ours.' They were incredible," he said. Westphal said the Vikings planned to get Central in foul trouble. "Our second-half philosophy was to take the ball to the hole, and draw fouls, not to live or die by the jumper," he said. "When we'vetried that, we've died."

Last month that reporter, Michael Wickline, then-managing editor of the DailyEvergreen, took an upside-down glance at a memo on a secretary's desk and learned that WSU's Boardof Regents planned to grant retiring university president Glenn Terrell a 19 percent pay increase.Fortunately, Wickline's ensuing story touched off a statewide chain reaction of protest about theincrease, which would have made Terrell Washington's highest-paid public official. Last week the WSURegents bowed to public pressure, and reduced Terrell's pay boost to 6.7 percent, the same increasethat state faculty members are scheduled to receive. Those regents had to be forced to limit Terrell's payraise. One would hope Western's Board of Trustees will take advantage of the WSU hoopla and take itupon themselves to keep their senses when they discuss a raise for President G. Robert Ross nextmonth. Ross sits at the low end of the university-honcho totem pole with his current salary—apaltry$74,200 peryear. A 6.7 percent raise for the president seems fair, especially since Western's !faculty will receive the same. But why stop there? Almost half of that 6.7 percent granted to Western'sfaculty is doled-out to those professors deemed "meritorious"for excellence in teaching. As a result, amajority of faculty members are left with a 1.2 percent pay raise, while others may receive up to 20percent. And since university presidents must be meritorious to be in the position they're in, surely Rosswouldn't mind undergoing a merit evaluation like other state-salaried educational professionals oncampus. It would be the only meritorious thing to do. Higher fee needed for better service On Jan. 23Western students will be asked for their reaction to a possible increase next year in the $6 HealthServices fee. Options include leaving the fee at $6, or increasing it to $8, $9 oi $10 a quarter. If the fee is not increased, cuts in Health Services offerings inevitably will occur. Health Services would no longer beable to afford its contract with St. Luke's emergency room. Also gone would be two of Health Services'fiye part-time nurses. ' An increase in the Health Services fee. definitely is needed, but a $2 increase isn't enough and a $4 increase is too drastic for what will be gained. An $8 fee is expected to raise about$214,000, with an additional $9,000 coming from service fees and the Whatcom Medical Bureau.This would be $6,000 short of the revenue necessary to hire a new director to replace Evelyn Schuler whois retiring. The new director would be qualified to write medical prescriptions. A $10 fee would allow forhiring the new director and an assistant director, purchasing a computer and offering programs such as biofeedback and "wellness." By adopting a $9 increase, almost $250,000 would be raised allowingenough money to hire a new director and have almost $20,000 in reserve to allow for inflation and eitherpurchase a computer or sponsor some more programs, whichever would be most useful. In any case,students should voice their opinions at the open hearing tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge.Cinderella goes to the governor's ball Color coordination a must By Janice Keller C inderella goes to theball. . . or rather middle-class girl from Western goes to the governor's inaugural celebration. Never mindthat I had to dig out my beer-stained lace gown left over from my high school prom, borrow shoes fromfriends, and talk a wealthy aunt out of her mink coat and jewels for the occasion. Forget also that I hadto ask someone to escort me and have him give me a crash-course in ballroom dancing, then begBooth Gardner's office for tickets to the event—I was going to the ball.! Not only was the inauguralcelebration honoring a new governor whom I respect and admire, but the gala event had historicalsignificance as well. For the first time in state history, the Legislative Building, with its majestic dome,was the site of the ball. From the House and Senate floors to the third floor of the rotunda, the 4,000guests filled the grandiose building. The elected official's offices were open as well as the StateReception room, the governor's conference room and even the marble-floored cafeteria, for all to tour.Reino Moiso played for dancing in an Balancing toys between men and boys Playing in a nuclear ageelegant state room overlooking the capital campus, where guests danced until midnight. Fashion andcolor coordination are vitally important at this type of social event, mainly because the biggest reasonfor attending is to watch everyone else. Clothing must be appropriate and everything must match. Themen have it much easier than women. They throw on a simple tuxedo and away they go. Women,however, must worry about everything they wear. When 1 finished dressing, my gloves matched myshoes and my dress (a minor miracle), and my underwear matched my date's tie and cummerbund.But still 1 worried . . . until we arrived and the first inaugural guest 1 saw was a large woman in a dumpyblue dress and clunky black shoes. Assured that someone looked worse than I did, we floated into theball. For every Glamour "Do" at the ball, there was a Glamour "Don't," including one satin-clad lady whorelinquished her wine glass to swig from a bottle of. Riesling. Worse yet, the son of a well-known statepolitician chose casual brown shoes to wear with his black tuxedo . . . tacky, tacky, tacky!! Still, it wasfun to be at the state capitol with such a variety of power and prestige, as well as regular people likemyself, and have the opportunity to offer a champagne toast to Gov. Gardner. . .and it was worth the$20 ticket just to see my date walk out of the ball with a 1980 bottle of Hinzerling Vineyards Chardonnayin his pants. By Naomi Stenberg I t was a very simple war spread out on the living room floor. Theforces of Cobra, led by Zartan, advance from the jungle, creeping stealthily over the marshy ground. Alone 'copter appears—it's a Dragonfly JF6784026 with a red, white and blue insignia—Wild Bill, acrackerjack G.I. Joe, fires a missile. In the mind of the boy directing the war, a huge, gaping hole opens up. And Zartan and the Cobra forces are enveloped in swirling, noxious smoke. 1 asked the 12-year-oldcommander if he'd consider "nuking" the bad guys. He looked at me indignantly, "My G.I. Joes wouldnever drop a nuclear bomb. They're not that stupid." "Besides," he continued, "these are toys. The realthing can stuff it up their butts!" he laughed, turning to go back to "the front." Then he said soberly, "Thereal thing scares me to death." Nathan wrote to Reagan two months ago. "Dear Mr. Reagan: I think youshould stop building up. nuclear arms. I want to live to be old . . . " The letter was sent last week. Lastnight, Nathan's mother wandered into a mine field. Flip Breskin is a folk singer who was once run downby a truck during a peace march. She surveyed the evening's wreckage and said laconically, "Well,Nathan, maybe we could get out some sterno and show you how to napalm people." He said with morethan a hint of fear in his voice, "I don't wanna find out." Like most humans, Nathan is a study inparadoxes. He showed me a plastic pellet about the size of a baby tooth. "This is the only bomb I have.It's a flash-fire bomb, I believe—blinds the pilot." He reminded me of something Truman said about thebomb that hit Hiroshima. "That bomb had more power than 20,00 tons of TNT," Truman announcedproudly over the airwaves on Aug. 7, 1945. "It had more than 2000 times the power of the British GrandSlam, which is the largest bomb ever used in the history of warfare." Maybe the only difference betweenmen and boys is the size of their toys. I wonder if Reagan floats a U.S. Navy in his bath-' tub. . . or plays with space missiles for fun. He doesn't seem to know—anymore than Nathan—the true nature of histoys. At the close of the presidential debates, Reagan talked about driving along the Pacific Coast, being struck by its splendor and wondering about the people who would drive that road years later. "Theywould know," he said, "whether we used nuclear weapons or not." Ronnie, if your G.I. Joes drop anuclear bomb on the Cobra forces and they retaliate with even a fraction of their arsenal, there won't beanyone around to know if there was a coast at all. There won't be any beaches, ocean waves, AnnetteFunicello—there won't be a Pacific Coast. Grow up,, Peter Pan, and look at the gamma rays. This is our only time around.

On one hand, I applaud the rousing of an apathetic public to action against oneof the more brutal examples of oppression in this century. One the other, I deplore the lack ofcommitment, energy and devotion to the rights of those people suffering from oppression undercommunist rule. It seems to me that a nation must be traditionally aligned with the West in order toqualify for vilification by the liberal establishment, while excesses by communist or Third Worldcountries go unnoticed and/or unchallenged. There is a double standard here, and I think somethingneeds to be done abut it. I wish Yvonne Ward and her friends would champion the cause of brutallyoppressed Soviet Jews and Christians as diligently as they do that of black South Africans, it would bemore even handed if Ms. Ward introduced an AS resolution directing the university to withdraw itsfunds from banks dealing with the Soviet Union, as a gesture of solidarity with Soviet Jews andChristians imprisoned in the Gulag. The brutal mistreatment of these two groups is every bit as deserving of attention as the South Africans. Would the AS act as energetically on their behalf? I doubt it. SovietJews and Christians aren't the rage nowadays. They aren't "in." They're not getting the press. And worstof all, they're being oppressed by a non-western coun- • try. And people oppressed by non-westerrfcountries generally tend to be ignored. Now, if a group is being oppressed by a nationtraditionally aligning itself with the West, well that's a horse of a different color. For that group all the sorts of things can be done. By all means, withdraw our funds from institutions dealing with SouthAfrica. But withdraw them from institutions dealing with the Soviet Union, too. -Remember the blackSouth Africans and fight for their rights. But remember Soviet Jews and Christians and fight for theirrights, too. The time has come for the AS to prove it champions the rights of all oppressed peoples, notjust those residing in pro-western countries. Come on, Yvonne. How about some equal time andconsideration? Eric Leibman In Defense of Ward's Actions Western Front, I am sure that Yvonne Wardis more .than capable of defending herself, yet as a reader and an interested observer of this conflict, Itook offense to the level of unreasoning persecution displayed by Mark Watson in his letter of Jan. 18. Mr. Watson begins his attacking and trivializing Yvonne Ward's concerns over pornography and SouthAfrica; as if merely having an opinion is bad. If apathy is such an overriding concern to Mr. Watson,perhaps he should not be commenting. Second, Mr. Watson criticizes the move to boycott IBM sayingthat it would have been ineffective. Certainly, toppling IBM was not. the goal of any AS board member.The question was whether or not we should be helping IBM by purchasing from them. This is at thevery least a legitimate question. With another questionable display of argument, Mark Watsonwonders what Ms. Ward was doing reading Penthouse anyway. Surely an AS officer has a right, indeedas responsibility to react to what is being sold by this university. This is called university self-government and it is neither impious nor paternalistic. Finally, as if to proclaim that even blatant sexismis not dead, Mr. Watson asks whether the "surrogate parent" in Yvonne Ward would wish to cook forhim. She might, but considering the tone of his letter, I don't think that poison would be completely out of the question. Ken Bahm Board member disputes opinion Western Front, In your editorial of Jan. 15,you stated that "the AS Board is making resolutions to be followed by the rest of Western, and not by itself."

As an AS boardmember, my intentions are not to dictate what the students should think, but rather to provideopportunities for the student to learn abut the various social issues in the world today. the Bylaws ofthe A.

State institutions are kept competitive with those out of state so they are able to attracthigh-caliber applicants to job openings.. A list of peer institutions normally is given to the board forconsideration, Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, said. The board receives a partial list of eight peer institutions which Cole said are commonly used as comparisons to Western.Among the schools are California State/ Northridge, Ball State Indiana and New Mexico State, whosepresidents earn $80,000 or more. On that list, Ross again ranks at the lower end of the echelon withthe average peer institution president earning $78,850, a figure 6.3 percent more than Ross. Only thepresidents of Portland State University and University of Idaho make less, at $72,528 and $67,184,respectively. Ross, who could not be reached for comment-about his potential raise, earlier commentedon the large wage increase granted Terrell, saying he thought public employee wage increases ingeneral should be acknowledged early on, but that the increase was not really out of line given the sizeand magnitude of the job. He said recent dramatic increases for key government posts in the stateplaced the Terrell raise in a "totally different light."

Dalrymple was quick to praiseRoss for his excellent job as president of Western, but was just as quick to reiterate the board wouldact with expedience. He said the presidential salary has been out-of-step with that at other stateinstitutions for several years, but the board generally has held that the presidential increase should bekept in line with those received by other Western personnel. "It's totally up to the board. They look atwhat others are getting and what other people on campus are getting percentagewise, and then,certainly, they look at the performance of the president and his experience before reaching a decision."WHERE WHEN Health Service Fee Hearing.

But now things have changed. In thepast year alone, shocked administrators and students watched helplessly as lawmakers in Olympiasliced almost 20 percent from the budget of higher education. With further cuts still a distinctpossibility, the future of entire academic programs now are in doubt. During the next nine months, and inthe years that follow, that future will be determined. Forecasts of what that future may be, vary, but topadministrators agree that the changes Western now is experiencing are immense. In addition to massivereductions in funding, enrollment is expected to decline by as much as 9 percent. The drop will endangermany programs dependent upon student-paid fees for their existence. Meanwhile, the school awaits thearrival of a new leader. University President Paul Olscamp announced his resignation last March,setting the stage for an intensive search for a successor, due to be named some time in December. Thechanges extend even further. Economic realities have forced a major shift in the way students use theirpolitical power. While this campus once was a hotbed for political radicalism, a very mainstream student-funded interest group, the Washington Student Lobby, debuts this fall. Although Western is shrinkingfinancially, physically it still has been allowed to grow. Construction of the South Academic Building, to be used primarily*for business-related courses, has been completed. Planned and approved several years ago, it could signify the last remnant of Western's era of expansion. If the era of growth has ended, thenwhat era lies ahead? One thing top administrators stress is that any move that would weaken Western'semphasis on the liberal arts must be avoided. "My biggest fear is that the university system could bemodified in such a way that the regional schools (such as Western) could all become technical schools," said Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs. "These kind of budget cuts curtail our availabiity tooffer a liberal arts education." Hard economic times also have been reflected in the way studentschoose their classes. "I've seen students become more focused on careers and on their education as ameans to a career, sometimes more than they should," Quinlan .said. Acting University President James Talbot agreed with Quinlan that students have been shying away from less practical academic programs, but he stressed that Western's future will remain tied to the liberal arts. "Students need to be reassuredthat following that world of ideas will still put bread on the table," Talbot said. Professional studies, oncecalled the "servile arts," provide applicable skills for the job market, hut liberal arts complement everypart of daily life, he said. While emphasizing Western's commitment to the liberal arts, Talbot and otheradministrators also raised questions of future cuts in low-enrollment programs. Talbot said further budgetcuts certainly will mean elimination of some programs and the consolidation of others. A committee nowis being formed to examine what programs may be terminated, he said.

And although much of the decline had beenexpected and budgeted into this year's Service and Activity fee split allocations, it still will wield a"significant impact on student programs," Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, said. The dropin enrollment, tentatively estimated between 800 and 900 students, about 100 more than predicted inMarch, is primarily the result of an administrative policy adopted to maintain the stan rd faculty-student ratio of 22-to-one in the wake of last fall's Reduction in Force, in which 48 faculty members losttheir jobs. "If we had not taken steps to reduce our enrollment, we'd be in a hell of a mess," saidRegistrar Eugene Omey, explaining why admission standards to Western were tightened. "Hopefully, by keeping the student-faculty ratio intact, the quality of education that each student receives will not beas affected." Although it is not yet known just how much the enrollment drop will affect each of the three constituents of S A fees—the Associated Students, the Depart-mentally Related Activities'Committee, and the Housing and Dining system, administrators agree that all student-funded programswill need to be closely scrutinized. "We have less money to meet greater demand," Quinlan said. "Wehave to look very closely at our priorities, and find out what programs are the most important." About$60 from each student's quarterly tuition goes into S A fees. The money is used to fund a variety ofprograms, ranging from interscholastic athletics, to day care, to various programs within the housing and dining system. The funding for such programs is going down, but the cost of operating them is not."On the one hand, inflation is forcing operating costs up all the time," Quinlan noted. "At the same time,enrollment goes down, and S A fees are reduced correspondingly.'' AS President Mark Murphypredicted the increased enrollment reduction "would make a dent" in the AS budget, but most likelywould be dealt with smoothly. Keith Guy, Director of University Residences, said the housing anddining system, which receives the largest portion of S A fees, will not be severely affected by the cost of the S A funding itself. Rather, the impact of the enrollment drop will be felt more directly, in the formof reduced occupancy in residence halls. The housing and dining system receives most of its fundingthrough room and board fees. Deparmentally Related Activities Committee chairman Larry Richardsonwas unavailable for comment. DRAC comprises interscholastic and intramural athletics, and various other extracurricular activities. This year's enrollment reduction may be the first of many in theyears ahead, if demographic indicators prove accurate. Omey pointed out that the baby boom era hasended, and the 18- to 24-year-old age group will shrink during the next several years. The trend isexpected to continue throughout the mid 1980s and then reverse itself toward the end of the decade.Tom Quinlan Cut threat provokes program review BY LORI McGRIFF While rumors of more cuts inWestern's already seriously wounded budget circulate among administrators, a move is being made toprepare for what some say is the inevitable. The budget knife is expected to return this year. But topadministrators and faculty representatives say this time they will be better prepared to make thecuts where they should be made. Apian .submitted to the^ Board of Trustees at its Septembermeeting calls for the creation of two committees to review all programs, departments and serviceson campus. One committee will look at academic programs and departments while the otherconsiders the strengths and weaknesses of non-academic programs. The academic review commit- |tee will attempt to plan for student populations of10,000; 3,db0, ; 8,000, and 7,000. The committeealso "will pro-'" t pose the criteria by which pro- : grams will be assessed',for possi- | ble' enhancement,reduction, , consolidation or elimination: Recommendation for any cuts in programs also: are expectedto be submitted to the Trustees. The committee will be composed of eight members. Ten nominations for six positions will be submitted by the Faculty Senate. Two nominations will be submitted by theAssociated Students Board, Staff Employees Council and Administrators Association for theremaining two positions. The non-academic review committee will recommend changes inadministrative, structures, including possible elimination of programs and services. The committeewill be composed of six members. Five nominations will be submitted by the Faculty Senate forthree positions and two by the AS Board, Staff Employees Council and Administrators for the threeremaining positions. Health service fee to be charged Students registering for six or more credits thisquarter wilibereqm^ when they pay their tuition. The temporary mandatory fee was approved by the Board of Trustees at Its August meeting and overrides an original plan tri'require payment only when servicesare used. The emergency measure was taken because of recent budget cuts and to insure that healthservices continue to be provided on campus, Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, said. ,The fee is subject to re-examination by the Board of Trustees duringthe quarte^and maype removed ' bywlhteh Q nian;saicl.s ' About one quarter of We^stSrn's student population: used the health, centerilast year. -Evelyn Schuler, director of. health services, said the mandatory fee will notcha-nge theservices, only;;; make sure tjiey continue. A Some of the services offered include,an allergy clinic andinjections, preventive medicine, nutrition/ diet/weight conferences, contraceptive advice and pregnancytesting. A physician and registered nurses also screen , students for referral to doctors in the area andsome medication for minor problems is available. Quinlan said the new fee will allow the university tomeet legislatively mandated budget reductions in student services without destroying the health centeror other services. If the emergency measure had not been taken, the offices of financial aid, academicadvisement, and career planning and placement could have had services cut or been required tooperate only four days a week, Quinlan said. The decision to implement the fee came after an ad hoccommittee for health services submitted a report recommending a mandatory fee and discou-raging auser fee. "•/-:; ./•" ] : The user fee would be too expensive to adminis- .: jer and could discourage-students without'-cash from coming to gethelp, Quinlan said. Four trustees voted for the mandatory fee. A fifth, Marven Eggert, voted against it because he said students should hot have to bear the financialresponsibility.

Located on the first floor ofCanada House, the club will open its doors tomorrow to all faculty who have paid the $5 initiation fee and the $5 monthly dues. Dues will go toward paying moving costs, maintenance and rent. While still in its planning stages last spring the club came under fire for using university monies to finance anarchitectural design for remodeling Canada House. Richardson, of the speech department, said part of the rent will go toward paying back the money. Opponents also said it was inappropriate for the Faculty Club to displace academic programs. Canadian/American Studies, which had occupied the firstfloor of Canada House, will move upstairs. Pacific Northwest Studies, which had been upstairs, movedto the Commissary in Fairhaven. A few quirks still need to be straightened out, Richardson said, suchas the amount of rent to be paid. The club will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.Richardson said the club may extend its hours on Fridays, but that has not been settled yet, , SAGAwill serve a limited menu .of soup, salad and sandwiches. Beverages and dessert also will be available.Richardson said until now, Western. had been the only university in the state without a faculty club.Western did have a faculty dining area until the late 1960s when protesting students stormed the roomand.took over, Richardson said, r The faculty club is needed, Richardson said, for faculty to have aplace to eat lunch .together;; and become more acquainted.

But work still continues on several other construction projectsscheduled to be finished before classroom doors opened. The Viking Union elevator, work on ArntzenHall Food Facility and the Viking Commons kitchen will continue to add the echoes of hammers and stacking bricks to Western's soundwaves. Meanwhile, business and economics students canacquaint themselves with their new south . campus building. The newest addition to Western'sdiverse architecture, tentatively named the South Academic Building, has 10 large classrooms, manyof which are modeled after the Harvard Business School's most popular classroom design. The five story building is occupied by the College of Business and Economics, except for the ground level floor,which houses the speech pathology and audi-ology department. About 80 offices and 60 labs are in thebuilding, which was designed with a "businessman image" in mind, Eric Nasburg, director of Western'sfacilities development offices, said. The grays, blues and and purples used were intended to follow the motifs being used in modern business buildings, he said. "I think people are happy with the design,"Nasburg said. But, he added, tastes change with the times. Wick Construction was responsible for thework done on the $6 million building and the design came from Robert Price Associates. Work on thebuilding began Dec. 2, 1980. The Viking Union elevator, delayed from its original deadline by almostthree months, is not expected to be operative until the end of October. Problems with matching bricksand delays in equipment delivery caused the project to miss its target date of Sept. 10, Nasburg said.The elevator is being built to meet state codes and to provide handicap access to the VU basement.Plagued with problems of meeting fire code regulations and contract agreements, the elevator first wasscheduled to be completed July 1. The $216,429 construction project was started Dec. 3, 1981.The Arntzen Hall Food Facility is expected to be completed Sept. 30. The coffee shop, in the southwestcorner of the ground floor of Arntzen Hall, still needs cabinets installed and the floor finished. The$200,000 food facility will seat about 100 people. Service will be similar to that provided at Miller Hall'sCoffee Shop, Nasburg said. The retiling of the Viking Commons kitchen floor should be completed thisweek, Nasburg said. The "wear and tear" of large food preparat ion equipment and water on the floorfinally broke up tile, he said. Construction on the Viking Union elevator continues. Recipients to getfinancial aid on time By JIM BACON Unlike thousands of needy students across the United States whoare caught in the middle of fights between Congress and the Reagan administration, Western studentsexpecting their financial aid checks when fell quarter starts will get their money. While forces on CapitolHill and in the White House have been fighting over new regulations, about half the aid money alreadydesignated for the coming school year—about $600 million—has remained undisbursed leavingschools across the country scrambling to help keep their students in class. The University ofPennsylvania, for example, is tossing in $2 million to help cover the financial aid program while it hopesto get the rest of its allocation from the federal government later in this fall. At the University ofConnecticut, students can apply for up to $250 in two-week loans. The school said it also will deferfees. "We won't have the problem like these folks have/' said Western's Financial Aid Director WayneSparks. Sparks speculated that the troubled schools around the nation either started classes beforeWestern's scheduled first day or they are on a semester system, requiring them to distribute half theirfinancial aid money right away. Because Western operates on a quarterly system, Sparks said, it mustdistribute only one-third of its aid money now. Sparks said the U.S. Department of Education sent formal letters notifying colleges of available aid—and then only for half the total allotment—about two months later than usual. Western's financial aid office received its letter Aug. 24. The letter came late, Sparkssaid, because the education department sent its proposed new rules governing such federal aidprograms as the; National Direct Student Loan and the College Work-Study Program, to Congress about four months late. This caused much of the delay because Congress by law must have 45 working daysto act on the proposals, which were sent on Aug. -2. Financial aid administrators and students alsofaced delays in processing the paperwork required for Pell Grants. The payment schedule, which setsthe amount of grant money a student can get, arrived in July. "We should've had it by May or June at the latest," Sparks said. In addition, until June 15 the education department required that every student aidreport— the form that tells financial aid administrators if a student is eligible for a Pell Grant—must be validated with either a student's or parent's income tax return. Meanwhile, Sparks said Western expects to receive notice of the rest of its aid allocation by the end of the month. Also, the recent Congressional override of President Reagan's veto of a $14 billion spending bill will add $140 million in Pell Grantmoney and $77 million for supplemental grants. About 1,500 students applied for aid at Western thisyear, about the same number as last year, and the approximately $3.7 million offered to them is aboutequal to last year. Despite the late start in making awards, a financial aid spokesman said all theawards have been sent out. /? ^ \ ATTENTION STUDENTS RETURNING FROM SUMMER VACATrONIf you need new phone service, before you make a trip to the Bell PhoneCenter, we would like to suggestthat you contact the Pacific Northwest Bell business office on 1-453-3511 (toll-free) first.

The AS goal is to register atleast 2,000 people to vote in the Nov. 2 general election, said Jamie Beletz, an organizer of Project Vote 82. Volunteers will be at fall quarter registration at Western, dormitories, campus dining halls, day-care centers, low-income housing, the employment office, churches and the Beth Israel Synagogue.The voter registration drive, which started . Thursday, continues with auditor's deputies at fall quarterregistration. --People who want to become voter-registration deputies will meet at 2:30 p.m. today in theAS office, Viking Union 227. From there, they'll take a van to Whatcom County Auditor Joan Ogden'soffice to be sworn in. The AS currently has six deputies, said Jan Mabry, another Project Vote' 82organizer and the AS vice president for internal affairs. Project Vote '82, organized locally by the AS, isco-sponsored by the Washington Student Lobby, Students Opposed to Reductions in Education and the Whatcom County Central Labor Council.

'We want to register every freshman," she said. College students and the poor havefaced drastic reductions in government funds and programs because legislators know they don'tvote—that's why higher education now faces severe cuts, Beletz said. Mabry noted that according tothe office of Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham), fewer than one-third of college students voted inlast fall's election. "I think the entire political trend is lending itself to greater student political activism."Registration is a 60-second process," Beletz said. But he added that those who want to be registeredneed some type of verifiable identification— a driver's license, a student ID card, a meal card or an oldvoter's registration card. Mabry said registered voters who want to change their residency need toregister again. What about those who aren't interested? "We're going to try to explain to them howimportant it is for them to vote," Beletz said. "It is important because students need to maintainpolitical credibility in the eyes of legislators." In addition to arranging on-campus registration,: Mabry has written clergy of 16 churches and the one Bellingham synagogue, requesting that deputies be allowedto register people Sunday at their places of worship. The AS also has asked clergy to encourage theircongregations to vote, Mabry said. Deputies also will be stationed from noon to 3 p.m. tomorrow andFriday at the Food Bank, and they'll register people from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday and Sept. 30 at theWashington State Employment Security Department Office.

Although fewer students will be here, they will be the ones who deserve to behere most. By tightening admission policies in the form of higher minimal gradepoint averages andother criteria, Western's administrators are not, as some student leaders boldly have asserted, denyingdeserving students access to higher education. Rather, they have moved to avoid the greater of two evils, namely denying students access simply because they can't compete with spiraling tuition costs.Mitch Evich As Student Affairs Vice President Tom Quinlan pointed out, "We do not think it isethically responsible for us to admit students whose chances of success are very low." Quinlan Hitupon a note that those who believe everyone should go to college refuse to acknowledge. Access tohigher education is limited; that is a fact dependent on the structure of society. The question is, whoshould be allowed in" — those with the academic ability or those with the financial assets? A criteriabased solely on ability may seem a bit callous, but the alternative is much less desirable. The only other way of reducing enrollment is to eliminate more students via more tuition hikes, and it need not be saidwho would be the losers in that sort of game. One argument inevitably surfaces to refute suchassertions, based * on the student whose deprived background is in fact responsible for his pooracademic showing. But exemptions abound for such cases, and anyone showing anymanifestations of potential can overcome a deficiency in basic requirements. The college system can't accommodate everyone, and perhaps that is unfortunate. But let's make sure the people who areaccepted are the ones with the best chances of achieving a degree four years hence. Reagan's latest:one big pain President Reagan does not seem able to take a hint. Despite a lukewarm reception toward his "New Federalism" proposals (presented to the public last spring and quickly forgotten), Reaganis planning to re-ignite the fires beneath his pot of federalism mush and feed it to the leader of state andlocal governments at a Sept. 30 White House summit session. Our illustrious showman's latestbandwagon technique could tranfer 45 federally controlled programs over to state and localgovernments. Included in this proposal is Reagan's plan for the federal government to take over theefficient Medicaid and food stamp programs in exchange for a state take-over of the mismanaged,hard to administer Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. By handing over control of these programs to the states, Reagan is masterfully and conveniently unburdening himself. Peggy Loetterle iat could be easier than tossing troublesome domestic programs down to the states, hoping theprograms will shrivel up and die in the anti-taxation atmosphere of fiscally strapped states? Ourmagician's subterfuge is a new attempt to reduce benefits to the poor without appearing to do so. It's anow-you-see-it-now-you-don't trick designed to fool millions of lower-income Americans who are notreceiving enough help these days, anyway. The proposal will do little to relieve deficits or oiler anyinitiatives to abate the lingering recession—with the exception of diverting public attention from a still-puttering economy, huge revenue shortages and high unemployment. It's unrealistic to expect localgovernments to handle the burden of these costly programs when Reagan's policies already have helpedcripple rapidly deteriorating urban areas. And it's . rediculous to magnify their suffering by creating acostly swap-a-rama while most state, city and county governments still are straining under a darkrecessionary cloud. Perhaps Reagan is willing to brew up another, more nourishing, pot ofmush—this time he can feed it to the one million food stamp recepients who've been going hungry since their benefits were eliminated. ![7J*jraEE2 gt; Fairhaven reflects Western's diversity It's easy to pickout freshmen during the first days of fall quarter. They're the ones who walk through Red Square with their heads on a swivel, obviously agog at just how much different this place looks compared to the typicalsuburban-area high school. The biggest difference is the people. Western has long-haired students,short-haired students, conservative students, radical students. For many people, that's one of the mostattractive things about Western. It's diverse, open-minded and open to academically oriented students ofany stripe. Newcomers to this 224-acre campus will come to appreciate that diversity. If they care abouttheir school, they'll be angry to hear that some of this university's leaders are considering closing downone of Western's shining stars of diversity—Fairhaven College. Fairhaven is no stranger to threats ofextinction. Along with The Evergreen State College in Olympia, it's been one of the right wing's favoritewhipping boys in the Legislature. Hostility to Fairhaven can be traced to a vicious streak of anti-intellectualism in the Legislature. The men and women in Olympia who'd like to see the nationally knowncollege closed seem to think a program that doesn't produce tomorrow's business leaders just isn't worth funding. Several administrators and faculty members here apparently share that idotic, short-sightedview. That's tragic. Closing Fairhaven to save money is Reaganomics at its most mean-spirited level.More precisely, it would lend a hand in turning Western into a trade school that produces businessmenand technocrats. Now, we need bankers, electrical engineers and architects, but we also need men andwomen committed to alternatives to the normal and the humbrum. Future freshmen at Western shouldhave the chance to meet people from different backgrounds with different interests. If Fairhaven and other liberal arts programs here are terminated, future freshmen may shuffle through Tied Square with headsslanted toward the bricks. It would resemble another Red Square, half a world away. WSL needs votes;support your lobby Amid budget cuts and tuition increases, the Washington Student Lobby arrives on the scene reminiscent of the cavalry coming to the rescue. But, unlike the cavalry, the WSL can't whup thebad guys— in this case, budget-ax wielding legislators—all by itself. It needs the support of students.The WSL will have a full-time paid lobbyist in Olympia for the start of the legislative session in January.The lobbyist will strive to educate and persuade legislators to support the needs of higher education. The lobby is financed solely by students assessing themselves $1 at the time of registration. Without thisfinancial support the WSL will not be able to function at the level needed to do its job. But, studentsshould not just donate their dollars and expect the WSL to fight the battle for them. For t he WSL to besuccessful, students also must register to vote, which easily can be done at fall quarter registration.Moreover, they should vote for legislators who support students interests. Students are notorious non-voters, making them easy prey for budget-scalpers. Legislators, fearless of students voting them out ofoffice, are free to raise tuition and cut higher education's budget. The budget already has been hacked by almost 20 percent and the legislators have not laid down their hatchets, yet. If the students rally aroundthe WSL, however, they still may be able to hold down the higher education fort.

Not because I do not know where I am, but because anxiety has struck as hard as on my first day of school. I literallywas dragged up the steps of Wade Calvin Elementary School in Sumner, screaming louder with each tug on my arm. I'm at Western now, on my own. I am expected to happily accept the trauma of beingherded like cattle with multitudes of other students, while trying to figure out what classes I want to takeand pray they are not full. I am lost in my own freshman fear. I realize the consequences of myoversleeping. I missed freshman orientation. So I now must find my own way through the registrationmaze, without the benefit of prior instruction. Faculty advisement helped me somewhat. I know whatclasses I should take— or at least don't want to take, which is nearly all the 101 introductory offers.

I ask if thecooling system is out. It feels like it is about to rain inside the gym, the humidity is so unbearable.Cautiously I sit down at the south end of the gym to fill out a computer card with my haphazard schedule. I take notice for the first time of Do Not Remove From Registration Area — stamped on the card.4:15 p.m. A violent scream sends my paperwork flying into the air. Another insane scream momentarilystops the action on the carver Market floor. All class trading comes to an abrupt halt. Someone acrossthe gym is screaming my name. I trace the voice to the mouth of the person I am assigned to spend thenext nine months with. I knew I was in trouble the first day I met my roommate and his 200-watt ampwith refrigerator-size speakers and his girlfriend Mona with the snake tatooed on her shoulder. Now he is screaming at the top of his lungs at me. What's that? Keg? Stack four? Taps in 15 minutes? Mind-bending substances available? I had to escape from the gym immediately. I collect my cards and hopeI've done them correctly. I sprint up the stairs to Gym A, the final check-out. I catch my breath andrealize the ordeal is almost over. The registration people have what they wanted all along—my originaldo not bend, spindle or mutilate cards. 4:30 p.m. At last! The fee billing station, the last stop on themap of disconcertion. No, I do not want health insurance. Everyone has to feel he lives dangerouslysomehow. Luckily the $320 tuition is not due until Oct. 1.1 forgot my checkbook in my hurry to makemy appointment. It's finally over. I am wound up as tight as a tourniquet. I feel a violent surge overtakingme. . . .So, borrowing the immortal words from a little-known philosopher, "It is time for sedation for myown protection." First day of class is tomorrow.

As of Friday^ housing officials were accepting applications for the 236 beds stillavailable in campus dormitories. "We have spaces in every building right now except Beta and Nash,"Director of University Residences Keith Guy said. But new residents of Western's dorms either will haveto send smoke signals or visit Pacific Northwest Bell's "Phone Mart" if they seek to contact the off-campus world. During the summer telephones were removed from campus dorms and apartments tokeep room and board rate increases at 5 percent. Guy estimated that remaining on the Centrex phoneservice would have led to a 9.2 percent increase. The phone removal will save Western $17,000 a monthin equipment charges alone, he said. Because Pacific Northwest Bell claimed students were notpaying their long distance bills, direct dialing was eliminated last year, Guy said. A dispute remained,however, about who would pay for the unpaid collect calls received on campus phones. PNB askedWestern to pay the bill but Western refused. Finally, it seemed best to remove the phones, he said.Students must arrange and pay for their own phone service this year. To accommodate the new system, PNB is operating a "mini phone center store" near the registration center in Old Main, Margie Wickham, PNB service representative, said. It will remain on campus through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.daily. Students can select their phones there, she said. Because of the new phone system, studentswill save money on long distance calls because they can dial direct, Guy said. Many students probablywill decide to share phones instead of getting one for every room and this will result in additionalsavings, he said. Depending on a student's credit rating, PNB will charge up to $80 for a deposit andabout $30 in service start-up fees, according to PNB rate schedules. Other policy changes in thehousing and dining system include new rules governing room changes and intoxicated Two studentswere surrounded by boxes and furniture as they moved into Higginson Hall last ! weekend. students inthe dining halls. In past years confusion and instability were caused by constant room changes duringthe quarter, Guy said. This year arbitrary room changes will not be allowed during the quarter. "Only inan emergency situation would we authorize a move during the quarter," he said. The constant roomchanges disrupt the staff and keep students from getting involved in their studies, he said. "Our staff are students, too," he said. Another change will give SAGA employees the right to hold the meal card of astudent who is obviously intoxicated. The card will be returned to the student after his meal. This willallow for easy identification of the student should problems occur, Guy explained. It also will simplifygetting retribution should damage occur, he added. If the student is so intoxicated that he cannotfunction, the staff has the right to refuse service, he said. Intoxicated students are not a huge problem,he said. "But the staff felt they needed this right." How to find a good bank your first week on campus.

MASON Huge wilderness awaits the hardy By MARK CARLSON ~ Make no mistake—WhatcomCounty never will be confused with Parma, Ohio. Beyond the pulp mill plumes of Bellingham and theDutch-reformed Kitsch of Lynden are hundreds of square miles of wilderness—culminating in thehands-off-capitalism North Cascades National Park on the county's eastern fringe. Better yet, all ofthis wonderland is laced with hiking trails that allow outdoorsmen to probe river valleys, roam highland ridges and scale peaks. The North Cascades are considered by many to be the Lower 48's premierwilderness area. It doesn't take much money to relish this region's delights, either. All you need isenough gasoline to drive to the trailhead, a knapsack containing lunch, additional warm clothing, theU.S. Geological Survey map that covers the area you're hiking, matches, a knife and a flashlight. Inaddition, it's best that hikers never set off alone on a journey. If you break an ankle, you'll want someoneto summon aid. Of course, hikers should pack lightly only for day hikes in good weather. If you'replanning a multi-day trek through the wilderness, you'll need additional gear and a reputableguidebook, s u c h as the M o u n t a i n eers' 101 Hikes in the North pure Cascades. This article willaddress only day hikes accessible to anyone able to walk more than several miles at a single shot.Winchester Mountain Though it climbs to the lofty 6,521-foot-high summit of Winchester, this five-mileround trip is one of the easiest hikes in tne North Cascades. The toughest task on this trek is driving tothe trailhead. Travel the Mount Baker Highway to Glacier and continue another 13V2 miles before turning left on a road signed "Tomyhoi Trail 5, Twin Lakes 7." This road was built by the county and isn'tmaintained by the U.S. Forest Service. It's in terrible condition. Unless you drive a Jeep or some otherfour-wheel- drive vehicle, you'll probably want to walk the final couple miles to the trailhead at TwinLakes. The Winchester Mountain trail climbs through heather, alpine trees and flowers to the summit,which is the site of a long-gone lookout cabin—on clear days it affords a sweeping view of the NorthCascades and the Puget Sound lowlands. The trail should be snow-free through the end of October.Chain Lakes Loop Mounts Baker and Shuksan dominate this six-mile journey through alpine meadowsloaded with blueberries. Follow the Mount Baker Highway to its end at Austin Pass. The first part ofthe journey is a dull hike up a battered gravel road, but things get much nicer at the formal trailhead atthe roadend. In a scarce few hundred feet you'll encounter a spur trail veering to the left. Keep right, for the spur trail crosses a steep and extremely hazardous snow field that's no-man's-land unless you own an ice axe and know how to use it. • " , The main trail wanders over a • 5,400-foot saddle alongthe base of Table Mountain and then laces through a series of pretty mountain lakes. You'll want tolinger at many spots along the way to listen for the whistles of marmots and the distant thunder ofwaterfalls. Between the final two lakes on your journey, watch for a spur path on the right. It gains 900feet in two miles and winds up near the trailhead, where your car is parked. It wipes out the necessity of returning along the gravel road, since the main trail winds up at the Mount Baker Ski Area. The ChainLakes Loop usually is snow-free until early November. Baker River This trail neither ascends highpeaks nor rambles through alpine meadow. Rather, the Baker River Trail follows the river of the samename through one of the few remaining wilderness valleys '-l the nation. And instead of culminating ina scintillating view of mountains and water, the Baker River trail simply peters out in the midst of adeep, damp forest. Because the trail crosses into the North Cascades National Park, you'll need a parkservice back country permit, which is available at park headquarters in Sedro Woolley. The trail hoversat around 1,000 feet—that means it's snow-free most of the year. It makes a fine hike when the highcountry is covered with 10 feet of snow To find the trail head, travel on the North Cascades Highway,14Vz miles east from Sedro Woolley. Then turn left on the Baker Lake- Grandy Lake road 14 miles toKomo Kulshan Guard Station on Baker Lake. Follow the gravel Forest Service Road 11% miles beforeturning left on a "half-mile spur. Take the first right, and drive another half mile to the trailhead. Hikethree miles along the trail, enjoying along the way views of rushing white water and occasionalglimpses of Shuksan and other white giants. Have lunch at Sulfide Creek before heading back to the car. Thunder Creek Another wilderness valley, except this one deserves top priority for an outing. Its futureis in jeopardy. Seattle City Light wants to raise the height of Ross Dam, which would flood thisexquisite valley and ruin it forever. Find the trailhead at Colonial Creek Campground—it's just off theNorth Cascades Highway near Diablo Dam. The trail follows an inlet of Diablo Lake for about one milebefore plunging into virgin-growth timber. A good turnaround point is at a campsite on McAllister Creek,six miles from the trailhead. Once you're back home, immediately sit down and write Seattle City Lightto strongly express your opposition to its plan to turn Thunder Creek Valley into a mudflat. Sendcarbon copies to Congressman Al Swift and Senators Henry Jackson and Slade Gorton. Cascade Pass Here's the granddaddy of them all. It's a seven-mile round trip to an historic notch high in theCascades. The pass has been a cross-mountain route traveled by Indians, prospectors andexplorers since before history was recorded in these parts. Drive the North Cascades Highway toMarblemount and turn right on the Cascade River Road 25 miles to the trailhead. The extremely well-maintained trail climbs at an easy 10 percent grade through forest for two miles before exploding intospectacular alpine parklands at the pass, 5,400 feet above sea level. Take care not to trample thefragile meadows at the pass, and don't light campfires. The area has suffered from overuse and the ParkService is seeking to rehabilitate those portions of the region that have been loved nearly to death. Butby all means explore— don't just confine your stay to a brief lunch stop. A two-mile side trip to 7,600-foot-high Sahale Arm beckons for the adventurous-the path winds to the left up a ridge—who seek evenmore extensive views. Other side trips deserve to be taken, which means you'll return to Cascade Passagain and again. Epilogue These are just a few of the dozens of tremendous trips the dedicated NorthCascades traveler should investigate. Explore as many as you can, but don't feel you should seek outthem all during your stay at Western. That's impossible. This area has enough adventure for alifetime of hiking. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 9 Rental shop serves man-of-all-seasons Many ofWestern's sendees are designed to help students survive the classroom, but at least one program cangive them an adventurous escape from the often gray academic cloud. The Associated StudentsEquipment Rental Shop in Viking Union 113 leases recreational equipment—including skis, ice-climbing gear, rafts and canoes—and sells bicycle parts along with tools for bicycle repair, at low prices. Theshop is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. During fall, students' biggest demand probably will be forcamping gear, John Forsen, summer manager, said. Stoves, tents, sleeping bags and frame andframeless packs could be in short supply, he said. Wetsuits are available for use* with rafts or for othersports— including wind surfing and scuba diving. As the seasons change, different items gain and losepopularity. "It (the equipment) is all very seasonal," Forsen said. Because of winter's usual snowfall onMount Baker, all of the shop's skis, boots and snowshoes are used during most weekends, Forsen said.The shop leases 30 to 40 pairs of cross-country skis and 20 to 30 pairs of ski boots. The shop's four pairs of mountaineering skis have no-release bindings, called "bear traps." Students can choose betweenwaxable and non-waxable skis.

Center aims students in right direction By SETH PRESTON Many students becomeconfused about requirements to get a degree. To avoid taking unneeded classes or missing the onesneeded, students can get help from Western's Academic Advisement Center. "Basically, at theAcademic Advisement Center we're interested in helping students get access to Western'sresources," said Program Director Ron Johnson. The center provides a full range of academicadvisement services with emphasis on the pre-major student. Areas of service include new and returningstudent academic orientation, general advisement for continuing pre-majors and special advisementfor students experiencing academic difficulties. "We're geared to freshmen and . sophomores, toadvise them while they're pre majors and to help them with General University Requirements,"Johnson .said. "Once they get a major, they get advisement from their department." Most advising inthe center is done by peer advisors, students who have gone through a training program to prepare themto cope with other students' academic problems. "We also function as a type of referral department,"Johnson said. "We can assess the individual's advisement needs and tell them where they can receive the proper aid." Johnson said he also sees educating students to make intelligent academicdecisions as a function of the center. "For many students, their freshman year can be shocking. Thereare a lot of new pressures, such as living with a roommate they've never seen before and a new systemof classes." The center also helps students experiencing problems with scholastic standing, such asbeing placed.on academic warning or probation. Student withdrawals from Western also arecoordinated through the center. Academic Advisement is located in Old Main 274, and is open from 9a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The telephone number for more information is 676-3850.

Hiroshima pleads 'feepeace ::i^liftfi^fcil3Srf^SiP-Wmm A war for peace is being fought. This is the first ina series on the protest against nuclear weapons, a movement that demands disarmament. Story andphotos by.MASARUFUJJMOTO HIROSHIMA, Japan—Every year since the holocaust of Aug. 6, 1945,this city has pleaded with the world to end the nuclear arms race. At the Hiroshima Peace Park, the37th Peace Ceremony started with Mayor Takeshi Araki's peace proclamation. "Hiroshima is notmerely a witness of human history. Hiroshima forever is an admonition for human future. When wecannot remember Hiroshima, we will repeat the error, and it is obvious that the I history of mankind willcome to the end," said Araki, a survivor of the Bomb. The mayor has sent messages of protest towherever nuclear tests are practiced. Already this year 15 tests have been reported throughout the world. He urged all countries that own nuclear weapons to disarm now and swore that Hiroshima never will stop appealing for world peace. Every year the city adds names of newly identified bomb victims to the death list and dedicates them to the Peace Monument in the annual ceremony. This year 3,060 namesjoined the death list. Inside the monument are the bones and skulls of 70,000 unidentified victims. TheA-bomb Memorial Dome in Hiroshima is a reminder of Aug. 6,1945.

Former SkagitCounty Prosecuting Attorney Pat McMullen and 1981 Western graduate Astrid Dahl are gunning for the40th District Legislature jobs of conservative Republicans Homer Lundquist and Pat Fiske. Fiske andLundquist swept into office, two years ago along with the GOP tidal wave that engulfed the United States. But, along with many other Republicans who rode President Reagan's coattails into elected office,Fiske and Lundquist are being rapped for the nation's current economic ills and reduced services forlow-income citizens. At least, that's where McMullen and Dahl are focusing their criticisms. Dahlespecially is concerned about GOP-led slashes in higher education spending, pointing out Fiske hasvoted for tuition hikes and against education spending during his first term in Olympia. "We can't cuthigher education any more," the 33-year-old Sedro Woolley resident told The Front last week "It takesso long for any institution to build up its reputation, and if we continue tearing it down, we're looking at20 years of re-building to get it where it was." Dahl said she favors "closing tax loopholes for business" and making any future cuts in the "higher levels of the bureaucracy" to help fight the state's hugerevenue shortfalls. Services for Washington's residents— what Dahl calls the "lower levels of thebureaucracy"—can't be cut any more, she said. Dahl also branded Fiske as an "inaccessible"legislator, and vowed she'd meet with constituents regularly McMullen, who served as Skagit Countyprosecutor from 1974 until 1980, said he's running against Lundquist because of the tendency for HouseGOP leaders to conduct business in an atmosphere of backroom secrecy. "The leadership lockeditself behind closed doors and didn't tell the public what was going on during the last session," he said.In addition, Republicans "slapped the public in the face with so-called 'regressive' taxes such as thefood tax," McMullen said. McMullen called cuts in higher education outlays "short-sighted." "We'vegot to promote growth with educated people," said McMullen, who currently is city attorney for thesmall Skagit County towns of Hamilton and Lyman. McMullen knocked off Western political scienceprofessor Chuck Fox during the Sept. 8 primary. "Chuck could have beat Homer," he said, adding thathe entered the fray to "beat Homer Lundquist, not Chuck Fox." The 37-year-old McMullen said he thinksLundquist is "very vulnerable," pointing out that his and Fox's combined vote totals in the primary weresubstantially larger than was that of Lundquist. Lundquist did poorly in the portion of the 40th districtwhich includes Western, possibly because of his anti-colleges voting record in the Legislature. McMullen lives in Sedro Woolley. By LORI McGRIFF Although separated by fiscal boundaries, two Westernalumni in the 42nd District legislative race agree that education should be salvaged from the state'sshrinking programs. Republican Rich Bosman and Democrat Dennis Braddock won primary races lastweek, placing them in the final stretch for the seat that will replace Democrat Mary Kay Becker. Thebattle, they agreed however, will not be fought over education but on how best to balance the budget.Bosman, calling himself a "fiscal conservative" who doesn't want to see people get hurt by budget cuts, said he is against a tax increase. Braddock said he supports a 1 percent income tax with a threshholdexemption that considers ability to pay. Bosman, a political newcomer, said he needs to examine thepossibility of more cuts in education before he will support putting an end to them. But he added that ifcuts are to come they should be targeted at the administrative level. "There are some areas that need tobe looked at," Bosman said. The Washington State Patrol trooper said he doesn't expect increases infinancial aid from the state. "I don't think realistically it will happen." "Getting the very most for taxdollars" is one promise Bosman said he will keep if he is elected. "I'm against raising taxes if at all^possible." "' The 33-year-old Bosman graduated from Western in 1971 and later joined the state patrol.He's been with the state patrol for 10 years. Bosman in last week's election defeated Hugh Pottle, whowas seeking office for the third time. The Western graduate from the Lynden area has the Lynden-basedsupport that helped place state Rep. Roger Van Dyken, Whatcom County Executive John Louws andCounty Councihvoman Shirley Van Zanten in their positions. Bosman said he would do whatever hecould to avoid raising taxes and warned voters to be wary of Braddock's spending reputation. Braddockexpressed his support of higher education but said he didn't expect more financial aid to be available atthe state level. "It's going to be hard enough paying the instructors," the 38-year-old planning consultantsaid. " A member of the Bellingham city council for nine years, Braddock said increasing jobs can't bedone on the local level until the national economy picks up. "I won't promise no new taxes. I think we'veheard that before," he said. The state's fiscal situation may call for more money, he said. Calling thedeterioration of education the greatest danger the state faces, Braddock said he hopes no more cutswill become necessary. "I think we have to improve the educational system," Braddock said. The cuts have left it in "pretty dismal shape," he said. Braddock attended Western for two years in a graduatepublic administration program during the early 1970s. He called Bosnian's fiscal conservative stand "athreat to women's rights and the needs of society."

Services aid handicappedstudents By LESLIE NICHOLS Entering college is traumatic enough for a typical freshman, but thetrauma can be multiplied many times for a handicapped student. Western's Office of Student Life triesto ease disabled students' entrance into college through the office's services, many of which aresupported by volunteers. Perhaps the most significant for disabled students is accessibility toWestern's programs and buildings, a result of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. One of the act's regulationsstates that classes and other programs must be accessible to the handicapped. Although the actdoes not require the handicapped have access to every building or part of a building, it states thatthe university as a whole must be accessible—and most buildings on campus are. In addition, theuniversity is building an elevator in the Viking Union. Mobility impared students can be provided withaides and a campus access guide which explains how Western benefits students and which contains a c c e s s i b i l i ty maps of the university. The maps show accessible routes, entrances and restrooms; routes that may require assistance; curbs graded down to street level and ramps; elevators, wheelchair lifts and automatic doors and lowered drinking fountains and telephones. Deaf and hard-of-hearingstudents may use the interpreter referral service and TTY (teletypewriter) or amplified telephones. Blindand partially sighted students can receive help from volunteers who take notes in duplicate and give oneset to the disabled student, read aloud a book or tape it for the student or read an exam. Wilson Library also helps students by providing study rooms where taped lectures or books can be" read." The libraryhas special equipment for vision-impaired students to use— including tape recorders, a braillewriter, atext enlarger, braille materials and typewriters with large type. Braille is on the button panels of many ofthe elevators on campus. Western offers additional services and programs for the handicapped,including: adaptive physical education sessions such as swimming, volleyball and basketball; parkingnear major classroom buildings; door-to-door transportation to lt; and from campus; accessiblehousing; the Disabled Students Organization and the speech and hearing clinic in College Hall.

They observe figureheadstudent-politicians spending the brunt of their time being tripped up by nuances in parliamentaryprocedure. They watch their student government struggle for nine months to obtain that all-importantpop machine in the lounge, only to have it revoked by mandate of the principal. And they notewidespread apathy among fellow students. Some carry those same images throughout college, andindeed, Western's student government occasionally acts.in away to reinforce such sentiments. Butmore often than not, many observers agree, Western's Associated Students is the most effectivestudent political body in the state. True, not many students vote in AS elections. Last spring's 27percent voter turnout—ostensibly sparse to the casual observer—was the highest in recent Westernhistory. But, as Western's acting University President James Talbot points out, the studentgovernment here "actually gets things done." "If you want to get involved in student government, this isthe place to come," Talbot said. Ton Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, agreed:. "The potentialfor student involvement in the decision-making process of the university is extensive." The AssociatedStudents are not loved by everyone, however. Student leaders often have clashed with university officials (most conspicuously with Board of Trustees Chairman Curtis Dal-rymple and former UniversityPresident Paul Olscamp) and even Quinlan notes that for the Associated Students, the "playing ofpolitics sometimes becomes an end in itself." But the-Associated Students' successes wouldseem—at least recently—to outweigh their downfalls. During the last year they led the way in formingthe Washington Student Lobby, a statewide political body designed to represent higher educationinterests in Olympia; spearheaded the organizational effort of the Students Opposed to Red-' uctionsin Education rally in Olympia last" November and, more recently, gained at least partial concessionsfrom the trustees in their legal battle relating to student involvement in the search for a new universitypresident. Seated at the peak of the AS government is President Mark Murphy, a 22-year-old English/peech communications major AS Work Day set for today the Limit," at noon in the VU plaza, livebroadcasts by KUGS-FM radio throughout the day and continuous showings of the movie "ReeferMadness" by the Drug Information Center. "The main reason for the day is to encourage students tobecome involved with the AS," said AS President Mark Murphy. . The Associated Students hasscheduled a "Students at Work Day, " an opportunity for new and returning students to become oriented with Western's student government, from 10 a.m. to 4 (p.m. today in the Viking Union Plaza and otherareas. The day will include a perfor- • mance of the swing band "Sky's who took office last June,following May's election. Murphy heads the nine-member AS Board of Directors, the final body ofauthority in student politics. In general, the functions that Murphy and the board perform can be dividedinto two basic categories: their dealings with the university administration and their decisions of fundingfor student-supported programs. Their representation on other governing committees can be viewed as a sort of domestic policy. In the same way, the AS board's relations with other universities and with thestate legislature is comparable to a federal government's foreign policy. As a result of massive budgetcuts during the past year, the "foreign policy" role took on particular importance. A stronger web ofinter-university connections now exists than ever before. But Murphy says many of the external collegeorganizations gradually are growing autonomous of the AS Board. The WSL, for example, althoughformed through student government, will function separately. Such autonomy, Murphy predicts, willmake the AS board more effective at home. "The AS has always been very active, but by being tooactive in external affairs, we may jeopardize the relationship (between the Associated Students anduniversity administrators)," Murphy said, referring to what he says is viewed by some administratorsas overly-extreme actions by students. "Someone needs to scream," Murphy said, "but now someoneelse will do the screaming."

Holly 734-5900 AS President Mark Murphy side of student government, but perhaps the most important serviceprovided by the Associated Students is the allocation of student fees to AS clubs and programs. .The Associated Students fund a plethora of groups—all with money that students pay as part of theirtuition—ranging from political interest groups, such as the Human Life Club, to club sports, such askarate. It is in this realm that the average student is most likely to become aware of the existence ofstudent government. Every spring, the AS board, in conjunction with a university committee composedof students and administrators, allocates student monies to various clubs and organizations. As in allbudgetary processes, some groups come out looking better than others. "Some interests tend to belouder," Murphy noted. "But that doesn't mean they will be listened to more than others." In addition to its nine elected board members, Western's student governance system is filled out by scores ofappointments to univestity committees. Most students who are interested manage to be appointed tosome sort of committee, and thus gain initial experience in the Associated Students organization,Murphy said.

Each dining establishment on campus offers the student varied foodchoices, reasonable prices, atmosphere and scenic views. At the south end of campus, in the Fair-haven College complex, a coffee shop on the ground floor of the administration building looks out upon acourtyard surrounded by apartment buildings. The specialty of the coffee shop is a freshly grilledhamburger. Vegetable selections from the salad bar can complete the meal. Wooden tables aresurrounded by modern art on the walls. The lighting is dim and cozy. Arntzen Hall coffee shop is in the southwest comer of that building on the ground floor. Newly built, its projected opening date is Sept. 30. This shop will offer coffee, donuts, soups and sandwiches and a view of the new South AcademicBuilding. Miller Hall coffee shop is next to Red Square plaza and Fisher Fountain. Red Square is thecrossroads of upper campus. Students stopping at Miller Hall coffee shop should try a cup of soup or asandwich. Inside the coffee shop, the atmosphere is smokey and often noisy with conversation.Seating usually is limited. Food service is cafeteria-style in the three dining halls on campus. Dining halls are located in the administration building at Fairhaven College, Ridgeway Commons and VikingCommons. Although open to all students, dining halls are primarily used by residence hall occupants.SAGA Food Services, the corporation that operates the dining halls and most eating establishments oncampus, offers several selections for each meal. Every Saturday night is steak night. The same viewis available from the fifth floor of the Viking Addition coffee shop. Mexican food is a specialty and a potato bar serves up hot, baked potatoes with condiments.

HOLLY STREET-BELLIMGHAM-676-1111 GURstobe emphasized by Tutorial Center By SETH PRESTON ~ TheTutorial Center will begin its second year on campus with an emphasis on providing student tutoringfor General University Requirements. "The quality of the Tutorial Center depends on the quality of thetutors—the heart of the matter is student-to-student relations," said Ron Johnson, AcademicAdvisement Center director. The Tutorial Center is a sub-office of Academic Advisement and falls underJohnson's jurisdictipn. The center's hours have been expanded to make it better available to studentswith heavy morning class loads. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.Monday through Friday, instead of last year's 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The increased hours mean additionaltutors will be hired to maintain the same services offered before. Although the expansion is takingplace at a time of budget cutbacks, Johnson does not seem surprised. "Tutors are relatively cheapduring cutbacks, plus they are providing a valuable service," he said. Despite initial publicity difficulties when the center first opened, student-tutor contacts increased to 1,467 spring quarter from 941 winterquarter. "I was pleased and surprised," Johnson said. "The figures were much higher than I expected."The key element, obviously, is students' word-of-mouth. We'll expand or contract rapidly according tostudent opinion— we have to keep up the quality." Johnson said the center will strive to do more of thethings it did last year, such as providing review sessions for GUR classes before tests. The center islocated in Old Main 285, and its services are free. Students are encouraged to make appointments bycalling 676-3855, but .appointments are not required. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 16 ---------- 16 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Cutbacks felt all over campus By DAVE MASON Toparaphrase Mark Twain, any rumor of Western's death would be an exaggeration. But the recent series of large cuts in the university budget has forced Western to suffer a painfully strict diet — a diet thathas not only cut all the fat, but also has begun to weaken the university's muscle. Western's days as agrowing institution — from a teachers' school to state college to a university — have ended. Instead ofgrowing, Western is now shrinking with some programs being consolidated while others are dropped,deans say. The Board of Trustees has directed administrators to review the university's priorities. Even if no further reductions are made in the budget — the latest was a $1.4 million cut this summer —Western will have to lose more weight during the 1983- 84 year. Faculty positions that were spared thebudget ax this year will be cut in June. 'most severe year' And 1982-83 "probably will be one of the mostsevere years in our history, much more severe than the Reduction-in-Force (cuts in faculty and staff) in1976-77," said James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Deans, however, are optimistictheir colleges — and Western as. a whole — will survive budget cuts, despite how much programs arehurt by cuts and despite the patience the cuts will require. "I don't think the university is about to bedestroyed," said Dan Lamer, dean of Fairhaven College. "We do have to be imaginative. . . We'll have toface the loss of programs." Fewer sections of courses will be offered because Western reduced thenumber of full-time faculty positions this year to 426 from 474. Some classes will be offered only once ayear, Davis said. In fact, if more positions are cut, some physical education courses may be offered onlyevery other year, said Chapelle Arnett, chairman of the physical education department. "Poly Sci 250(and 101) will be hard to get into," said Ralph Miner, chairman of the political science department.Waiting lists already have mounted for the courses, which are prerequisites for upper-division classes.Secretaries cut One change with an immediate impact is the reduction in secretarial staff—by 50percent in the College of Arts and Sciences. The cut means departmental offices will be open fewer hours and several offices will be closed during the noon hour, Davis said. Students who call an office when it'sclosed will have to leave a message with an answering machine. In addition, faculty members may haveto type their own tests, allowing less time for research and helping students, two department chairmensaid. . Because of the budget diet, Western will have to endure obsolete equipment and equipment inneed of repair. "I have a drawer full of equipment requests by the faculty that I can't fulfill," said RichardMayer, dean of the Huxley College of Environmental Studies. Funds don't exist to repair or replace acomputer the college has used for several years. Leaky roofs Lamer cited a hypothetical example ot anequipment problem. "The roof leaks and destroys the piano. It costs $2,000 to fix it. You do without thepiano." In the College of Arts and Sciences, 22 departments — some with greater needs than others— are competing for $50,000 for equipment purchase, replacement and repair. "We have so little moneyfor equipment," Davis said. "We have to pump it (much of the money) into computer technology —word processors and microcomputers." Pencils, books lacking Peter Elich, chairman of thepsychology department, said the department probably would get $2,000 for equipment. As much as$20,000 wouldn't be enough to bring the psychology department or any of the science departments up todate, Elich said. "There's scarcely enough money to handle material needs — pencils, books,periodicals, equipment," Elich said. To defray costs, the political science department now charges fourcents per page for copies of handouts. Meiner called the department's equipment budget "obsolete."The budget diet, however, could have been more severe. The College of Arts and Sciences — theuniversity's largest college with two-thirds of its programs — lost seven faculty positions this year. Itwas supposed to lose 14, but seven positions were saved by having faculty members who teach duringthe summer session not work during one quarter of the regular school year. But in June, the sevenpositions that had been spared will disappear and the college will have 14 fewer faculty members duringthe 1983-84 year than during 1981-82. This is the only school year the administration will allow summershifts to save positions. The budget cuts have hit small departments the most. In the College of Artsand Sciences, each department (regardless of its size) lost from one-half to one faculty position. Thebiology and home economics departments each lost one position. Thisyear the biology department has 16 full-time positions, meaning it had lost approximately 5 percent of its faculty. The home economics department, now with five positions, suffered approximately a 16 percent loss in faculty. "The smallerthe department, the more aggravated the cuts will be," Davis said. He noted that smaller departments(such as the journalism and speech departments) might have to be combined. After Nov. 1, thejournalism department no longer will have a full-time secretary. Larger departments are on a diet, too. In1983-84 the psychology department will have one and one-half fewer faculty positions than during 1981-82. "We'll have to drop small enrollment classes in specialty areas," Elich said. This year thedepartment dropped two seminar courses in child development and two graduate seminar classes.Western's growth took decades. Until recently, new programs and courses were common. Just 10 yearsago, the growth seemed to be unlimited. But for now, Western has to find ways to shrink with aminimum of harm to its programs. "Hope springs eternally," Davis said. He added, with a weak grin, "We never will see the golden days of the 1960s again." Acting University President James TalbotDepartments shuffled for fall By LORI McGRIFF The opening of the new South Academic Building setinto place a migration of college departments this summer that may leave some students wanderingthe halls in search of business, sociology and journalism classes. Betty Farnham of the spaceadministration office said the moves may leave students confused for awhile, but they will benefit inthe long run from the musical-chairs, approach. All departments of the College of Business andEconomics are in the South Academic Building and the speech pathology and audiology departmentsare on the ground floor. The journalism department moved from Garden Street Hall, to College Hall. TheFront now occupies the ground floor. Journalism classrooms and offices share the first and second floorswith the speech department. Student media offices, such as Klipsun, Western View and the KUGSnewsroom, are on the first floor. The third floor is reserved for speech (broadcasting) classrooms andoffices. The sociology department moved from the fifth floor of Amtzen Hall to the third floor. Theirvacated spaces will be occupied in part by the liberal studies department, which moved from the third floor of Miller Hall. The third floor of Miller Hall will be used for faculty research offices, visiting facultyoffices and an honors lounge. The faculty need the extra space, Farnham said. She cited pastproblems with finding space for visiting faculty and emeriti faculty. Garden Street Hall may be closedor torn down and the area used for a parking lot. Changes also took place in Old Main. Someadministrators were shuffled and administrative departments moved. Marvin Klein, dean of education, has relocated from Old Main 310 to Miller Hall 220E. The Old Main 300 office complex will houge generalservices, the business manager, vice president for business/financial affairs and purchasing. JamesDavis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has been relocated to Old Main 375 and Old Main 360will be used as a conference room The unpacking of boxes and placement of new names on doorsshould be completed within the first couple of weeks of classes, Farnham said. Budget cuts had a bigeffect on the summer moves. Professors and administrators, with some student help, had to packtheir belongings and sweep out their offices before moving to their new, freshly painted offices, Farnhamsaid. Past moves have been done by custodial workers with more help from professional movers. •The shift of departments created a supply of refuse, such as these boxes discarded outside the SouthAcademic Building. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 17 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 17 Westerns future unclear continued from page l) hallowresources. "I wish I could say no, but I expect there vill be more," he said. The WSL and other highereducation-iriented groups are trying to oust anti-ducation legislators from Olympia this all. But with theNovember election luickly approaching Quinlan says expect ng a rejection of Republican policies to becure-all to Western's financial woes ould be a certain mistake. "Change won't come automatically just)ecause we have different people in Jower," Quinlan said. "How knowledge-ible legislators are to theneeds of higher ducation is the real key." Quinlan said that Western is "preparing tu dents to take onvery complex roles in ociety "and that must be made clear to oth politicians and the public. Western'simage may indeed need to be )ushed. As Registrar Gene Omey pointed gt;ut, Washington now fundshigher educa-ion very close to the lowest level in the lation. If the public doesn't reverse this rend, Omeysaid, the results could be lisastrous. Nevertheless, many leaders at Western express confidence that asmooth transition from a time of devastating budget cuts to a new beginning as a contemporaryliberal arts college can be completed. But, says Faculty Senate President William Sailors, "Eachdepartment is going to have to justify its existence. We have to manage our destiny a little bit instead ofust drifting through the cuts." Search goes on for Western's next leader By LESLIE NICHOLS Manyfacets of the campus are undergoing changes and the shakeup extends right to the top with the search for a new president underway. r Western's presidential search committee is scheduled to submit its choices for a ew leader to the Board of Trustees next week. The board then will tackle the task ofpicking a successor by December. Search committee members have narrowed the number ofapplicants to IS and next week will present to the trustees a list of four to seven candidates from whichwill emerge a replacement for former university President Paul Olscamp. - Olscamp left Western inJuly to become president of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The 15candidates were screened for certain qualifications including administrative experience; communication skills is\ dealing with faculty, students and boards; and experience in fund raising and working withlegislators, said Peter Elich, vice-chairman of the search committee. Members of the committee now arecontacting people in the candidates' communities, as well as faculty members, studentgovernment leaders and others in order to "get a variety of different points of view," Elich said. Describing the process as "fine tuning to zero in on people," search committee student representative DarcyRoenfeldt said the purpose of calls being made to the candidates' campuses is to get peer reaction tothe person and check on leadership style and rapport with students, staff and faculty. The finalists,chosen by the Board of Trustees, will come to Western separately some time during fall quarter,Roenfeldt said. Following final interviews the trustees are expected to select a new president and make* ah gt; announcement by Christmas vacatibh'tf not by Dec. 1, Roenfeldt said. y y § L sa*d key tostudent fortunes PHOTO BY GARY LINDBERG By ELAYNE ANDERSON Despite student apathy andadmnistrative roadblocks, Central Washington University and the University of Washington joined theranks of the Washington Student Lobby this summer. Recent higher education cuts of almost 20percent and the largest tuition increases ever at one time prompted students to organize in the form ofthe WSL. The WSL still is in the planning stages, with many obstacles to be hurdled. .Its proponentsand organizers, however, are hopeful it will be ready for the upcoming legislative session with a full-timelobbyist. Although the goals of the WSL have not been clearly defined, its general aim is to protect thefinancial concerns of students and higher education, in regard to tuition increases and budget axing bylegislators. Mark Murphy, Western's Associated Students president, said the goals of the WSL aretwofold. The first is to educate and influence legislators to the needs of students and to persuade them to vote favorably toward higher education. Many legislators, Murphy said, do not realize the problemsfacing students today. "The don't see why we can't go out and get a part-time job and supportourselves," Murphy said. "In many cases, going to college today is not the same as when they went.They just don't understand the problems." The second job of the WSL will be to inform studens of whatis happening to higher education in Olympia by posting the voting records of legislators and keeping anupdated bulletin board outside the AS office in the Viking Union. Murphy urged students to call or writetheir legislators and vote for those who support student interests. "Student government has always triedto have an effect in Olympia, but without the students backing them it's difficult," Murphy said. "TheWSL wants to create a more politically aware student population, and 70-80,000 votes can make adifference. Former AS President Greg Sobel, who played a major role in organizing the WSL, termed it"simply a question of power." "Students as an unorganized group were vulnerable to budget cuts andtuition increases, which grew out of our impotence in the political arena," Sobel said. "If the legislatorswill not support student interests then the students will boot him or her out." The WSL actually beganorganizing last January, although the idea was discussed as early as the spring of 1980, Sobel said. The first stage was to get at least 50 percent of the student population at each four-year institution to signpetitions supporting the WSL. The boards of trustees or regents at each school then had to approve theWSL. Western ratifeid the WSL last spring leading the *way for It earlier looked like theUW might trashthe WSL, but now the lobby is moving along strongly. other schools. Eastern Washington University and The Evergreen State College are the only four-year institutions in Washington that have not ratified theWSL, having failed to complete their petitiqn drives. To ensure all signatures are valid, both schools must start over collecting signatures during fall registration. The WSL is supported solely by studentsassessing themselves $1 when paying tuition. Western will use a negative check-off system, in whichstudents not wanting to support the WSL merely mark the appropriate box on their fee billing cards.Students at Washington State University must request their dollar from the cashier if they do not want to support the WSL. The UW and Central have positive check-offs on their fee billing cards. The positivecheck-off system may cause funding problems for the WSL. Students may be less willing to exert theadded effort to donate $1, WSL organizers say. Murphy said although he would like to see at least 70percent • of the student population support the WSL with their dollars, he said 40-50 percent would be more realistic. "Times are tight," Murphy said. "I don't know how many students realize the importanceof the WSL, but I hope all who signed the petitions will donate $1." Because of the uncertainty of theamount of funding the WSL will receive, a few answers still are pending such as the size of its Olympiastaff. Murphy said petitions may have to be combined, but no decision has been made. Each schoolthat ratifies the WSL will have its own local chapter, which will send representatives to the statechapter. Although a National Student Lobby exists, the WSL has no plans to join, Murphy said.Nominations for local board members will be made in an open meeting Oct. 6, and voting will take placeOct. 13. All students who assess themselves $1 automatically become members of the WSL. TheWSL is not without potential problems. Thomas Quinlan, Western's vice president for student affairs,said he is concerned each institution and student will have their own interests, which may becounterproductive to the WSL's overall goals. Quinlan also expressed concern the WSL would try torepresent too many separate issues. "The concern I have is they will take on too much and neutralizethe impact they have," Quinlan said. Quinlan also warned that to be effective the WSL must do morethan merely say they support an issue, they must produce facts. "It is tedious research, but you need to have evidence to show legislators why they should support higher education," Quinlan said. Pointingout that Western's Board of Trustees supported the WSL from the onset, Quinlan said he sees the WSL as positive and having potential. "It (WSL) can make legislators more responsive to students andhighlight the interest and accessibility or inaccessibility of higher education," Quinlan said. The WSLalso will help educate students that a decision will be made whether they are a part of making thedecision or not Quinlan said. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 18 ---------- (T Western Front Tuesday, September 21,13 ' Western computers do a lot more besides calculationsBy BARBARA SCABAROZI "Enter your student number," commands the computer terminal.

Anystudent, faculty or staif member can use the equipment for free. During the school year, the Bond Hallcenter is open from 9 a.m. to midnight. Student assistants explain the systems and help withprogramming. Students can get vocational counseling from the Western Terminal System (WTS)—thecomputer suggests careers according to the user's answers to a questionnaire and provides informationon job requirements, demand and training locations. It also can help with statistical analysis, performcalculations and assist in writing programs. The WTS is one of the three terminal systems in Bond Hall317-21.

But without knowing what passageways to use or where to find the referencesection, that knowledge may seem inaccessible. Students wanting to acquaint themselves withresearch materials and selections offered can take a tour, conducted during the second week ofclasses. One-hour tours will be offered at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday next week Thelibrary has two faces, old and new. The double-arched north entrance still looks like it did in 1928, whenthe first Washington State Normal School students pushed through the wrought iron doors. Inside theentrance a portrait of Mabel Zoe Wilson, the first librarian and for whom the library is named, watchesover the electrical detection system. On the first floor are card catalogs, a reference area, reservebook room and circulation desk. Student identification cards, which will be needed to check outbooks, can be picked up in late September. Undergraduates have a two . week borrowing privilege;graduate students one quarter. Students may Tenew a book as many times as they want untilsomeone else requests it. Students should be careful to watch due dates, because fines are chargedfor overdue books. Western is one of the few automated university library systems in the PacificNorthwest, said Jan Nichols, reference technician and tour guide. Before trekking off to the stacks,students can check a computer print-out of books in circulation to find out if a book has been checkedout, when it is due and if it is being mended or is lost. Books not available at-Westem may be borrowedfrom other libraries through inter-library loan. The new student ascending the central stone staircasefinds what seems to be the second floor labeled "third" and no apparent way to go higher. This isbecause the central part of the building is the original library and the additions required separatestaircases and elevators. Additions to the library were built in 1962 and 1972. The smaller east wing has four floors and the west wing has five. From its 800-book beginning in 1898, the library collection hasincreased to over a half-million volumes. The additions, with modern ceiling heights, are joined to the old library, which-has a second-floor ceiling height of 33 feet. The attempt to keep the original building intact has resulted in problems getting from one wing to another. Only the first and third floors have centralareas. Nichols said she advises new students to avoid confusion by using the east or west stairs orelavators at first, rather than the stone staircase. On the first floor in the east wing is the periodicalreading room, where current periodicals and newspapers are displayed. Bound periodicals are here andin the east basement. The education library and reference annex are on 2-west and a children'scollection is on 2-east. The third floor has the literature collection. Science periodicals are on 4- west. The government documents collection, which includes U.S., Washington State and Canadiangovernment publications of many kinds, historical and current, is on 4-west. Getting to the fifth floor isa real trick The easiest way is from the first floor. Only one elevator and stairway connect to the fifthfloor, those on the south side in back of the circulation desk The Special Collections Department on the fifth floor contains university archives, rare books and the library media center, which provides aplace for listening to records, tapes and cassettes and for viewing filmstrips.

By MITCH EVICH It is a late-summer ritual performed at hundreds of other colleges, and thescenes are conspicuously uniform. Young men clad in synthetic armor drive up and down a playing fieldunder a relentless morning sun. Shouts of feigned pleasure arising in the midst of grueling toil. The shrillshriek of a whistle is followed by the dull thud of helmets clashing. It is, of course, the prelude to another season of college football, an institution that has grown as venerable as it has profitable. Successfulbig-time teams draw in hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars in revenue. Other schools, smaller in size but not in enthusiasm, have cultivated the sport into a stellar source of campus pride. A visitor to Western's football camp during the long days of early September would have found things quitedifferent here. The football team is in danger of extinction. A protracted political struggle, a withering offinancial resources, and a 17-game losing streak have joined forces to put an unbreakable strangleholdon the program. The latest and possibly most serious damage came in the form of a referendumapproved by 54 percent of voting students last May, calling for an end to the use of student fees tosupport football. Political stormclouds The measure, which would effectively eliminate the sport ifimplemented, carries no binding authority and is technically nothing more than a yardstick of studentopinion. Its symbolic.importance, however, has not gone undetected. Players and coaches, althoughthey do not particularly enjoy discussing it, know the implications are grave. But while politicalstormclouds line up on this fall's horizon like so many nationally-ranked opponents, team members arekeeping their attention focused solely on the battles they have been trained to fight—those that takeplace between the chalk lines of a football field. And despite a losing streak which stretches back toOctober 1980, and a spring recruiting harvest severely blighted by news of the referendum, attitudesamong the 60 or so players on this year's roster remain upbeat, a tribute to resiliency if nothing else.Optimism misleading . "One thing for sure, there's a lot more unity than last year," says sophomore AlCuaron, a former linebacker struggling to make the shift to defensive end. "Everybody's talkingeverybody's together." "It's definitely better," adds quarterback Eric Ummel. "A lot of it is due to atransition of leadership. I think we have a lot of guys with real positive characters." Despite surfaceoptimism, the bitterness left by the referendum vote and other political problems is easy to detect."Every spring they bring out something about how they're going to drop the program, and theregoes our recruiting year," laments all-star wide receiver Bill Handy. "We've got good people here, but you need tobring in new ones. You need help." When Handy was recruited in 1978 following his senior year atNooksack Valley high school, Western still could claim to field a competitive ballclub. Only one yearearlier, the Vikings had made it to the Kingdome for a bowl game with powerful Pacific LutheranUniversity. A year before that, Western won the conference championship. During Handy s years here,though, things have steadily deteriorated. Although the squad won a respectable four of nine games in1979, 1980 proved disastrous, producing one outright victory, and one by forfeit. 'I couldn't believe it.'Handy also has seen student dissatisfaction with the program interfere with the club's ability toprosper, an experience he perhaps politely terms "very frustrating." "I couldn't believe it," said Handy, his voice trembling slightly as he recalled the moment he learned of the election returns. "I thought I wasgoing to have to go somewhere else and play my senior year." Handy, like so many other Westernplayers, became a victim of a battle whose first nascent stirrings took place several years before.Inexorable forces—political, economic and demographic—have washed over Western in recent years, and they have wreaked their share of havoc. The current crisis began most visibly in April 1980, whenthen-University President Paul Olscamp, reacting to the economic realities of spiraling inflation, toldWestern's board of trustees "some or all intercollegiate athletics" might need to be eliminated.Olscamp appointed a task force, which reported back to him in January the following year. Then thingsgot hot. Task force members initially recommended terminating football, but Olscamp convinced themto exempt it from the other six sports destined for the budgetary chopping-block Football was saved.Baseball, wrestling, golf, field hockey, and men's and women's tennis were not. The Associated Students Board of Directors, led by President Greg Sobel, were outraged. A presidential debate Sobel contended that by circumventing the task force and applying pressure to the trustees to accept his proposalsupporting football, Olscamp violated state law. Sports at Western are almost solely supported throughstudent Service and Activity fees, and therefore, Sobel argued, subject to student control. The issue,initially designed to elucidate the future of interscholastic sports at Western, suddenly shifted to aquestion of student versus administrative powers. The AS Board, flexing its own muscles, defiantlymoved to terminate football, and a complex struggle ensued. In the end, Sobel lost. The trustees'decision, providing football with a five-year mandate, remained standing. Off-field problems wereforgotten temporarily, as Western entered a season that most players probably would not want toremember. But while the ballclub completed perhaps its worst season in history, "Every spring theybring out something about how they're going to drop the program, and there goes the recruiting year.'—wide receiver Bill Handy future turmoil bubbled imperceptibly beneath the surface. On April 7 of thisyear, the issue erupted anew. Dan Vossen, a senior political science major, approached the Service and Activity Fee Split Committee with a succinct but explosive request: terminate varsity football atWestern. Rather than focus on budgetary problems, Vossen based his request on football'spotential for injury, most tragically illustrated by the case of Chris Thompson, a Seattle High Schoolplayer paralyzed during a game in 1976. Thompson won a $6.4 million lawsuit last February againstthe Seattle school board. Vossen backed out But when Vossen presented his plan, already filed as aninitiative in the upcoming student election, to a sub-committee of student-fee funding, he ran into theconsiderable opposition ofViking Head Coach Boyde Long. The 13-year mentor was more than willingto provide Vossen with a lesson in preventive medicine. "I had a talk with him about what we havedone over the years to prevent injuries," Long recalled recently. "He thought about it, and then hecalled me at home, and said he had decided to drop (the initiative." Vossen's change of heart, however,did not insure the initiative's removal. After nearly 500 students had signed petitions supporting theproposal, the AS Board voted unanimously to keep it on the ballot as a referendum. Ironically, Sobel asAS president again, became the spokesman for anti-football interests. This time he would not come outon the losing side. Doorbell effort failed With election day fast approaching, the football team in earlyMay staged a last-ditch effort to avert a defeat at the polls. For three evenings, football players went door-to- door among residence halls, defending their right to play football and refuting what they saw asinaccurate attacks against the size of football's budget. (One of the main arguments to drop the program was based on its high cost-per-participant, although football proponents argued costs werecomparatively low compared to other extracurricular activities.) The political efforts failed. Of theapproximately 2,400 students who voted, 1,300 supported the referendum. The close vote evokedcriticism from some observers who asserted the team did not do enough to help its own cause, but Longand Assistant Coach Rich Brudwick flatly reject such arguments. "I don't know if we could have won it,"said Brudwick a 270-pound former Viking offensive tackle. "But I don't think a football team should even get into a political battle. You shouldn't have to go door to door to try to get somebody to vote for yourprogram." Long put it more succinctly: "A football team should not be involved in politics." At Western,however, the football team is very much involved in politics, whether its members like it or not. And thestruggles are far from over. With diminishing student monies resulting from decreased enrollment, allstudent-supported programs will be under scrutiny by the S A fee split committee this fall. And inthose and other battles in the months ahead, the fate of varsity football at Western will be determined.Next: a look at what must be done if the program is to survive. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 22 ---------- 22 Western Front Tuesday, September 21,1982 Vikes seasoned withNBA: Westphal new cage coachBy SCOTT FISK The freshly engraved brass nameplate already is placed on the basketball coach'soffice door in Carver Gymnasium. An all-too-familiar back-to-school, moving-in scene is going on insidethe small two-desk compartment: carefully marked boxes and stacked in piles; bare walls, awaiting thepersonal touch of mementos collected over the years; soon-to-be-filled shelves that still have an outlinein dust of books belonging to the former resident. Western's newly appointed head basketball coach, Bill Westphal (brother Paul is the former Seattle SuperSonic star currently playing for the New YorkKnicks), takes a seat in his desk chair, which barely accommodates his outstretched legs. The 6-6Westphal, like his brother, is a former standout player at the University of Southern California Despitethe somewhat chaotic surroundings, the 36-year-old Westphal is relaxed and seemingly at home inhis new office. For the past two years, Westphal was the assistant coach with the financiallystruggling San Diego Clippers of the National Basketball Association. After owner Donald Sterling fired15 of 22 people from the organization to cut costs, Westphal got the pink slip. "There were other jobs(in the NBA) I could have looked at, but getting back to a college program really appealed to me," hesaid. "Timing was a major factor because I found out about the opening (at Western) shortly after I wasfired." Some might see his acceptance of the vacated coaching job at Western as a step down from the . NBA For Westphal it is an opportunity, in his estimation, to return to a familiar small collegeatmosphere. He coached for seven seasons at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif, which hasan enrollment of 2,000. "I like the atmosphere of a smaller campus," Westphal said. "After I made theinquiry (the position became available July 15 when former coach Denny Huston accepted an assistantcoach position at the University of Wyoming), the appeal began to grow more and more with me." Theselection committee comprised of Athletic Director Boyde Long, Women's Athletic Director and HeadWomen's Basketball Coach Lynda Goodrich, Sports Information Director Paul Madison andCommittee Chairman and Registrar Eugene Omey played a major role in luring Westphal. "I knew Icould work easily with them," Westphal said. "I wouldn't have come if I didn't like the people representing the school. It was a very relaxing situation." "It's (Bellingham) everything I thought it would be. I. wasencouraged byalot of different people who told me just how good an opportunity coaching at Westerncould be." Born in New York and living in California for the past 35 years, Westphal brings to theNorthwest an impressive list of credentials. He: —averaged 22 points as a senior at Aviation HighSchool (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) It's (Bellingham) everything I thought it would be. I was encouragedby a lot of different people who told me just how good an opportunity coaching at Western could be.' —played forward at USC, where he was named the Trojans Most Improved Player in 1965 —was voted most Inspirational Player in 1966 —compiled an overall record of 111-77 as head coach atOccidental College and 64-20 mark in conference play —won three conference championships(1975, 1976, 1980) —was named National Association of Basketball Coaches District VI Coach ofthe Year in 1976 and again in 1980. —was-an assistant coach with the San Diego Clippers of the NBAunder head coach Paul Silas for two years. Westphal steps into a program, which thanks to the one-year effort by Denny Huston, bounced from a 4-21 record to finish 13-12 last season, made the playoffsand averaged 2,500 home game ' attendance last season. "It's great to come into a program alreadystepping in the right direction," Westphal said. "Denny did a lot to get it going, it will make it that mucheasier for me to continue improving it." Westphal pegs himself as a disciple of the John Woodenphilosophy — fast break at every opportunity, man-to-man defense and impenetrable presses."The pro game also will definitely influence my decision to integrate it (pro-style ball) into thisprogram," Westphal said. "But I'm undecided as of yet precisely what type of ball we'll play. Itdepends on the first month with the players. It will definitely be fast-paced and exciting style ball."Westphal will get his first look at Western's returning players and new recruits in a conditioning classhe wilj teach during fall quarter. Judging from what Westphal has planned for practices, theconditioning class is essential for prospective players. "Usually one-third or sometimes one-half ofpractice will be fast-break drills," Westphal said. "They will need to be in shape for the fast-tempo styleof ball." Westphal's plans for continu- Bill Westphal, Western's newly appointed basketball coach, sayshe is here to stay and plans on building a championship program. is to share a prestigious coaching job. ing to build the program by recruiting, he said, will not be hampered by the nonscholarship status ofWestern athletics. "It's a handicap, but I'm in agreement that it is another set of headaches when youstart buying players," Westphal said. "It can be overcome by having a good place to play (referring to his goal of filling Carver Gym this season) and a winning record." "Also having a name coach will attractplayers," Westphal said matter-of-factly. Occidental also is a non-scholarship college. Westphal said along-time dream he shares with his brother Paul and close friend John Block "We've always talked about someday coaching together at a major college such as USC or in the NBA," Westphal said. "I'd jumpat such an opportunity, but the likelihood of it happening in the near future is highly unlikely." .."It's like putting the pieces together of a puzzle," Westphal said. "In a way I'm writing my own adventure storyand it's rewarding to work with players who are attending school for academic as well as athleticpurposes." Alumni not nostalgic jocks after all I have seen too many Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis moviesthat portray the typical alumnus as the nostalgic jock who, at the age of 50, still buys season tickets for seats in the glee club section for every athletic event and can sing the alma mater without the aid of theprinted lyrics on the back of the program. I was pleased to learn that the Alumni Association is balanced with a mixture of academic and athletic achievement. And that the members are not a lot of nostalgic remnants of Western's past but simply people who are concerned with the future of higher education.. The president of the association this year is a graduate student at Gonzaga and next year'spresident is an elementary school teacher. These hardly fit the category of the Lewis or Martin anticsI've seen. Steven Inge, director of the Alumni Association, said many graduates of Western becomemembers of the association because they feel a "sense of indebtedness" and some join for the chanceto visit old friends. Whatever the reason, these people add a cohesion to higher education. Twenty-fiveboard members of the Alumni Association, residing anywhere from Vancouver, B.C. to Salem, Ore.,constitute a nonprofit organization. These people have the influence to sway legislators to vote infavor of colleges in Washington. Inge said some legislators have reportecrthat "when it came time tovote on an issue, they often remembered what a constituent of theirs had said and felt it was influentialin their decision." Western receives financial support as well as political. Ten percent of the association's funds go toward scholarships and a hefty amount each year is allotted for grants to be awarded to thelibrary, career planning, the theater department or whatever organization may need assistance^ •• Amidst the deeds the alumni endow upon Western, the members devote their time to rewardingthemselves. The association has planned wine tasting parties at St. Michele and has treated itsmembers to a gourmet dinner. The association also is meant to provide an opportunity for alumni toreminisce. I've decided through the sports section to allow some of Western's top alumni athletes toreflect on their victories and to mourn their losses. To speak of a group of people as a whole can neverserve as an adequate description. The individual's personal experiences tend to enlighten far morethan an impersonal sketch.

The season opener for both clubs, played on a dry Indiansummer evening, was in PLU's back pocket after the Lutes mounted a 20-0 lead six seconds into thesecond quarter. Ranked 6th nationally in the NAIA Division II pre-season poll, the Lutes displayedoffensive execution, which did not make the Vikings look bad — merely outplayed by a superior foe.The Lutes rushed for 178 yards in the first half while the Vikings managed eight. If a candle can be put inthe window of the Vikings' dim performance, it has to be the "Ummel-Handy" connection. QuarterbackEric Ummel and fourth year standout receiver Bill Handy connected for 100 yards and the lone Westerntouchdown. But had it not been for an illegal procedure call during Western's second possession,the duo could have tacked an 87-yard painfully called back touchdown pass to their total. The Vikings'scoring drive, which took seven plays for 79 yards, was Ummel- Handy all the way except for two of theyards. It was during this drive that Ummel displayed the accuracy of his slingshot arm. Umrriel,plagued by injuries his first two seasons, may have the potential to throw past his 634-yard freshmanmark. Ummel completed nine of 23 passes for ir51 yards, 10 yards short of Western's total offense. The seore, 20-7, looked like it would remain frozen until the Ijalf.ended. Western's defense stopped-PI;U;i gt;n fourth and' one, then intercepted on "PLU's' next possession. ' Viking running back JohnLocker cuts upfield. the kill. After Western failed to go anywhere with the ball, PLU took the punt with4:05 remaining and went for one last drive. With 23 seconds remaining halfback Rob Spear ran aroundleft end for a one-yard touchdown run to finish the half 26-7. The Viking defense displayed good gangtackling technique, however, with plenty of hard sticks, unlike past seasons. Unfortunately, theaggressive defense usually came after Lute running backs Rob Spear, Nick Brossoit and Jeff Fohralready had gained first downs. The PLU trio combined for 259 of the 357 total rushing yards for thegame. PLU gained 31 first downs to Western's five. Typical of most season openers, the second halfbecame a defensive battle, with neither team scoring during the third .quarter. -,.--• V ..•--, gt; i ^ 'The Vikings* failed to t:omplete a drive after crossing the fifty yard line for the Pacific Lutheran Universitydefensive tackle Curt Christiansen (78) closes in for second time. The rest of the quarter was spentpunting from their own 20 yard line. By the end of the third quarter many of the estimated 2,000 fans inattendance began to leave. The Lutes scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter on sharplyexecuted drives to raise the score to 39-7. Western has not won a season opener since 1971 when itdefeated Western Oregon. The Vikings' next game is September 25, 1:30 p.m. at Linfield College inMcMinn-ville, Oregon.

The varsity volleyball team played against a tenacious alumnisquad on Sept. 10 in Carver Gym. The original plan was to play two out of three games for a win, but the alumni team, sprinkled with a conglomerate of past Viking talent, opted to play a few more gameswith the varsity team. The alumni team had two all-region players from recent years, one of the bestsetters in West-em's history, and the wife of a coach here at Western. These women and a few otherswarmed up only a half hour before taking on the varsity team. The varsity team has been practicingsince Aug. 30. Only one starter and three other players returned this year, leaving Coach Paul Clinton"clueless" as to the team's future. Clinton said it would be unfair to even attempt to predict the team'ssuccess because he "has nothing to go on." Jackie Nelson, this year's team captain, and Sherri McKeeare the only two •players Clinton has seen in game performance. Because fewer players j returned,Clinton reduced his team by five members. The team has nine players instead of 14, the size of theteam last year. Clinton said it will take the team about t"\ gt; matches to get organized with the gamepatterns. "Once they're organized," said Clinton, "the team members will be able to play their basicskills." "Right now, they're a young team." Last year, the volleyball team competed in the Association of Interscholastic Athletics for Women, but the association has since been canceled. The team hasmoved to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The men's teams always havecompeted in the NAIA, thus deciding the change-over for the women. One of the alumni playersdescribed the Vikings' season: "It's hard to tell how the team will do—both with the team being fairlynew and some of the teams-they'll compete against are unexplored by this team. "There's no way topredict." IF SCHOOL HAS TOU OUT ON A LIMB... RENT TOUR FURNITURE! RENT THREE ROOMSFROM '28.50 PER MONTH WITH PURCHASE OPTION.

Looking to start off from the last year's fast finish,Western women's soccer team again should challenge for the NCAA championship. The team has been placed among the top three for the last six seasons, winning two league titles and placing as runner-up three times. The Vikings finished their 1981 campaign by winning the University of Oregon InvitationalTournament. They defeated the host Ducks, who went on to sixth place at nationals, 2-1 in thechampionship contest. Coach Dominic Garguile's squad was 7-2-5 overall and placed third in the NCAAwith a 4-1-5 mark.

The film is not rated. When was the last time you rooted for the Germans in a war movie? Billed as "the otherside of World War Two," the German-made "Das Boot" is an enlightening experience to a generationwhose only previous picture of the German struggle comes in the form of U.S. war time propaganda films and "Hogans Heroes." "Das Boot" is hardly propaganda material, its characters are neither banalparodies or flag waving super heroes. The story of a U-boat crew fighting a losing battle to the British inthe Atlatic is engrossing and compelling, never moralistic or emphatic. Even at two and one-half hours,the film retains an exhausting intensity. "Das Boot" is magnificently filmed, capturing the con-finedness of 43 men trying to survive in the small submarine/boat. The battle footages of encounters KlausWennemann plays the chief engineer, Jurgen Prochnow stars as the U-boat captain and HerbertGronemeyer portrays the war correspondent who serve aboard a German U-boat in 'Das Boot.' withBritish destroyers are The most amazing aspect of audience into another man's stunning. the film is theway it draws the struggle. The viewer at various times feels claustrophobic, jubilant, saddened andalways tense. The result is a draining experience. The action, far from the usual war film fare, is neverpredictable. The plot takes enough twists to keep the viewer as unnerved as the German seamen. Thefilm is subtitled, which doesn't distract from the plot or charecters. The subtitles are easy to read and the German language adds authenticity to the picture. The characters convey the anguish, loneliness andfright of young men with the odds against them—the nationalistic, "overgrown Hitler Youth leader"who awakens to the truth behind the propaganda; the German youth secretly engaged to his pregnantFrench girlfriend; and the journalist who learns the meaning of fear and destiny. The cast is uniformlysuperb, with standout performances by Herbert Gronemeyer as Lieutenant Werner and JurgenProchnow as the U-boat captain. "Das Boot," the film that made big waves in its native Germany, isbound to hit home as a strong anti-war statement, as well as a portrayal of universal struggles. The Who turn full circle on 'It's Hard' By MALCOLM LAWRENCE The Who have accomplished the impossible.Behind the back of an audience that had written them off as well as the Rolling Stones two years ago,the band has released an album just as good, if not better than,' the classic album "Who's Next." Byrevitalizing the music into a defiant blend of the thundering Who of the past with a streamlined,synthesizer-laced Who of the present to take on the future, the band has found the zealous bite itoriginally had. "It's Hard" draws many comparisons to "Who's Next" because both albums share thesame kind of excitement of a world dynamically involved with the present, but still holding onto the past.Lyrically, and in many ways musically, a feeling of evolution weaves through the songs, which arebalanced by throwaway references to God that sound trivial but keep the strength and the motivation ofthe album tightly wound. The key to this is, of course, Pete Townshend, the once and future sentinel ofrock and roll, who has finally found happiness in his family, life and music. Although world affairs havegiven the 37- year-old guitarist enough ambition to continue writing songs, Townshend has" decided to accept the fact he is getting old and takes the place of the first father of rock gracefully. Awell of advicefor both young and used-to- be-young springs from the album in a curt, but not rude style with the intentto regroup the rats now that "the piper has been found." The twelve songs that comprise "It's Hard" spinoff the vinyl fast and confident, tying together many of the loose ends that have been left for so long. Bydoing so, the band has regained its energy into a cohesive, coherent whole, which eluded it throughout the 1970s. "Athena" heralds the opening of the album. A truly happy, effervescent Who song, perhapsthe first since "Going Mobile." John Entwistle finally has managed to give his horns a rich tone without sounding brash, and uses them throughout the album with the resonant style introduced on"Quadrophenia." The tacked on lyric "she's a bomb" distinctly sounds like "she's a whore" whichwould support the theory that Townshend has fused madonna and whore into a contemporary lady,sharing the values and vices of life with one woman rather than two. Of course, maybe it is saying "she'sa bomb," and comparing the essence of life to the substance of a stereo-typical- sex symbol: beautiful,but empty. Take your pick. "Cooks County and "Eminence Front" share similarities topically, but not atall musically. The former, reducing Clash rhetoric to the phrase "People are suffering," and by etchingthe echoed beat onto the lyrics, moves grudgingly slow like the breadline it evokes. The latter drifts alilting synthesizer on top of a behemoth beat that fully illustrates what the song is saying, about peoplehiding behind their happiness when they know that something terrifying, like reality, may lurkoutside. "I've Known No War" may be the closest the band ever gets to remaking "Won't Get FooledAgain," right down to the famous Daltrey rebel yell, which this time comes out as the word WAR Thestrings that keep peeking out signify that, although a victory, any victory may be in sight, it probably willbe only a brief one. The next song, "One Life's Enough," pours on more strings than the previous song,and sketches a lovely scene as tender as the Who have ever done, then yanks it away, as war can, tohammer home.the message. "Why Did I Fall ForThat?" rings with the warmth of a Telecaster dipped in a Western-style movie and yearns to know why society (The Who included) has been so apathetic whenit's four minutes to midnight by the Armageddon clock. "The truth is," like Jimmy cursed inQuadrophenia, "we have forgotten how we used to fight." Fight as struggle, not as violence for its ownsake. Many factions of a generation are pointed to on. this album; the punks, the heavy metalers, eventhe audience that has grown up with the Who, for not living up to the rebellious stances they onceadopted, now just using them as fashions. But "Cry If You Want" tears down any notion that the bandhas become stilted as they indict themselves as well as their fans, new and old. One glance at thealbum cover defines the current Who perfectly. The easiest way to surrender to society is by degradingits monuments, no matter how modern or traditional. But by respecting them and learning about themthe creative process can become eternal rather than momentary. Art as a lathe, rather than a hammer. The Who have finally returned to their original premise; screaming at the world with the knowledge of astudent' and the gall of a punk to try to unite the audience into an aware, excited bunch. As a variation on the lyric from "Cooks County," this group is so old it has ended up where it began. A nice bit ofcyclical philosophy for the band, once so intent on dying at an early age. Meet the new Who, same asthe old Who; at last. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 28 ---------- 28 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Fall Film Schedule Quadrophenia Nov. 14 Pixote Nov. 4 Fireman's Ball Oct. 28 Kongi's Harvest Oct. 21 Thursday Films Sept. 23 Sept. 30 Oct. 7 Oct. 14Oct. 21 Oct. 28 Nov. 4 Nov. 11 Nov. 18 Dec. 2 Voyage to Grand Tartarie Satan's Brew Rise and Fallof Louis XIV Kagemusha Kongi's Harvest Fireman's Ball Pixote Macunaima La Grande Bourgeois ASlave of Love Gallipoli Nov. 21 Saturday Films Sept. 25 Gates of Heaven Oct. 2 Cousin/Couisine Oct. 9 My Dinner With Andre Oct. 16 Rashomon Oct. 23 An Unmarried Woman Oct. 30 Nosferatu Nov. 6Seventh Seal Nov. 13 The Devils Nov. 20 Spider's Strategem Dec. 4 It Happened One Night It's aWonderful Place Sunday Films Sept. 19 Ticket to Heaven Sept. 26 Chariots of Fire Oct. 3 ExcaliberOct. 10 Neighbors Oct. 17 Mommie Dearest Oct. 24' Just a Gigolo Oct. 31 Poltergeist Nov. 7 PersonalBest Nov. 14 Quadrophenia Nov. 21 Gallipoli Nov. 28 East of Eden Splendor in the Grass Dec. 5 OnGolden Pond * * * Today! * * * Sept. 21 Star Wars (Shows at noon, 3, 6:30 and 9 p.m.) Mommie Dearest Oct. 17 Kongi's Harvest Oct. 21 Kagemusha Oct. 14 Nosferatu Oct. 30 An Unmarried Woman Oct. 23La Grande Bourgeoise Nov. 18 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 29 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 29 Foreign films highlight fall lineup By GORDON WEEKS With the addition of a new projection system and format, the Program Commission's campus moviesystem offers students a "film goer's holiday," said Film Coordinator Andy Potter. The selection of filmsis "pretty encompassing . . . there's something for eveiyone," Potter said. "It's a gopd representation of art cinema in the last five years." . A foreign film series debuts Thursday with "Voyage to GrandTartaric" and continues weekly with such classics as "Satan's Brew," "La Grande Bourgeouis" and "Rise and Fall of Louis XIV." "Film classes are taking off on campus, and that's raised an interest in othertypes of cinema," Potter said. The Saturday series will provide a chance to see critically acclaimedfilms that are considered timeless, beginning with "Gates of Heaven" and including "My Dinner withAndre," "Cousin/Cousine," "Rashoman" and "Nosferatu." The Powerhouse Sunday series starts with the Academy Award winner for Best Picture of 1981, "Chariots of Fire." "Poltergeist," "Excaliber,"Neighbors" and "OIn Golden Pond" are a few of the box office blockbusters featured. Potter said heexpects the Sunday films will draw the big crowds, as they did last year. i With This Coupon Only*VERBATIM FLOPPY DISKETTES $2."

So'you thought selecting andpreparing your own meals was going to be a great adventure. It does present a challenge, and whilestudents have been known to survive three straight quarters of their own cooking, a few helpfulsuggestions could keep the poverty-stricken, SAGA-less scholar's taste buds from nodding off. Theinexpensive staple foods - instant potatoes, instant rice, and the granddaddy of them all—Top Ramen— not only are quick and easy to fix, but require the use of only one pot or pan. If you live alone noplate or bowl is required. Price variety is'another plus when purchasing these items. Boxed macaroniand cheese is a prime example, ranging from the u n p a r a l l e l e d Kraft brand (preferred two to oneby school children, we're told) to the lowly Penny Saver product (reminiscent of the paper-mache gluethe class clown would eat in third grade). By adding a couple of hot dog buns (leftover from the Fourth of July) to this leaden meal, one is bound to be satisfactorily bloated for hours. Turkey dogs and Viennasausages do wonders, and leftover macaroni can always be revitalized with a generous drowning ofketchup to make a hearty breakfast. Breakfast is the easiest meal to prepare on a meager budget,simply because most of us go without it anyway. But for the student with five minutes to spare, anything can become breakfast food. Month old bread Hopeful survivors of their own cooking, in this case PennySmart macaroni, Top Ramen on toast, and Generic beer. crusts are converted into toast, sale-pricedburritos are transformed into a hot meal, and stale donuts become. . . well, staler donuts if you don'teat them sometime. Buying meat presents a problem not only because of the cost, but alsopreparation. How many freshly uprooted 18-year-old guys do you know who can fix anything morecomplicated than frozen Banquet chicken? The idea is to walk a few paces from the mainstream meatsection to the multi-layered and multi-assorted bargain bin. Bacon ends? Fry it twice as long as regularbacon and it almost appears to have substance. Spicy, red hot sausage that no one else will buy?College folk are supposed to have iron bellies, as well as indiscriminating tastes.

Be thankful that turkeys have enough body parts to supply the less fortunate withturkey "extras." Because college students seem to be "cleaning out" their refrigerators every few days,creative "combination" dishes are all the rage: spaghetti noodles, butter and parmesan cheese; chili-franks-n-corn; "bologna I' I I loaf'—bologna dipped in mustard (toothpicks optional); cold popcorn withmelted cheese; and of course Top Ramen with anything. All newly invented dishes should be tested onthe neighbor's dog~and keep your paws off his Alpo meat chunks. In a town where students are knownto spend their last $5 on a half rack of brew, the quantity-not- quality rule also applies to beer selection.No one likes beer, they just get used to it - so why not get used to Rheinlander or Generic beer? Nomatter how bland generic products taste, buying them creates a warm sense of self-sacrifice. Staring ata plain, no frills package leaves an impression of irreducible back-to-basicness. This image is confirmed by the product within. When you've finally hit ground level (half a box of Bisquick and a package of splitpea soup) and you can't find any change under your sofa cushions, the last resort is the old pop-in-on-your-buddy-at- mealtime ploy. "Hi, Frank! Just dropped by to return this book I borrowed last yearand...say, what smells so delicious?" "Huh? Delicious? Oh, you must mean Fred's tuna surprise."Well, by golly, I never realized Fred was such a gourmet!" "He's not, but you can have some if youwant." "Well (laughing stupidly) I guess a little wouldn't hurt." "You obviously haven't eaten here lately..." Take heart. Most of us have mothers to nurse us back to health at the end of the quarter.

The sturdy-looking, 90-year-old red brick structure offers a variety of programs: local history and industry exhibits and collections, fine art, ethnographic artifact displays,plus concerts, lectures and tours. Designed by architect Alfred Lee, the Victorian-style building also ison the National Register of Historic Landmarks. It served the town of New Whatcom—later to becomeBellingham—as City Hall until 1939. A year later the former city hall opened its doors as a museum,thanks to the efforts of the Whatcom Museum Society. The museum remained in operation until 1963when fire destroyed the central tower. The museum reopened in 1968 after the main tower was rebuilt,the exterior restored and the interior remodeled. Reconstruction was finished in 1974. The museum'sfirst floor houses five galleries used for art exhibits. The exhibits usually run for six weeks. A recentexample was the annual "Fibers Unlimited Textile Show," which featured 63 original works of fiber ortextile art. Recently, one of the more popular shows was "Kaleidoscope of Toys," shown lastChristmas season. It drew large crowds, said Public Relations Coordinator Kathy Green. Differenthistorical exhibits also can be viewed on the first floor. These shows, originated by Museum DirectorGeorge E. Thomas, generally are harder to create and therefore run longer— from three to five months,Green said. Two major first floor exhibits have been "5,000 Years of Art," on loan from the MetropolitanMuseum of Art in New York City and "History of Commercial Fishing on North Puget Sound." The lattertraced fishing from traditional Indian to modern commercial methods. The newest historical exhibit wasopened during the building's 90th birthday party on Sept. 10. "Magic Boxes—The Development ofHome Entertainment Machines" is a "historical look backward at music boxes, phonographs, radios and televisions," Green said. Contemporary home entertainment systems are included. The MuseumShop also is on OPENS IN SEPTEMBER AT SPECIALLY SELECTED THEATRES. Check newspapersfor theatres. the first floor where gifts, books and toys can be purchased. Up past the elaborately carved ,oak stairway is the spacious "Rotunda Room," which fills most of the second floor. The room serves as the main gallery with regular monthly concerts by the Bellingham Chamber Music Society. Otherperformnig arts acts have included ballet, one act plays, poetry readings and puppet shows. Three turn-of-the-century rooms can be found there also, which give visitors glimpses of Victorian-style living.Several permanent displays take up the museum's third story. Artifacts of the Northwest Coast Indianscan be seen, featuring woven baskets, stone and bone utensils. Here, too, the Green Gold HarvestExhibit demonstrates the history and development of local logging, utilizing artifacts, dioramas andpictures. Housed on this floor is an ornithological collection of more than 500 stuffed birds. Museumcollections include the extensive Wilbur Sandison and Darius Kinsey photographs, depicting early viewsof Whatcom County from 1890 to 1940. In addition, Indian artifacts, general history artifacts andcontemporary art objects are stored at the museum. Many organizations are affiliated with and usethe Whatcom Museum, such as the Audobon Society, bird watcher groups and garden clubs. Last year more than 12,000 school children from Skagit and Whatcom Counties passed through, listening to tourguide Richard Vanderway.

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. The student's knowledge of a company and his own background isimportant in an i n t e r v i e w . 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.

(Kappa graffiti) The contention is enthusiastically unanimous. "Ireally like it," came from everyone interviewed about Kappa's experimental co-ed third floor. In the hall,men and women were placed in rooms at random. Each sex has two bathrooms and a resident aide.Planners intended the Kappa experiment to be modeled after similar arrangements at the University ofWashington. The experiment was to last only through Fall quarter, but it is continuing because "it turnedout really well," said Jim Mulenos, resident aide. "They don't sleep together, or anything that theadministration was afraid they would do. The reason it's a success is because they relate on a humanlevel, not on a sexual level." Reasons given for the popularity ranged from the "naturalness" of the livingconditions to being in a situation where it's easier to make friends. Roden that she experimental.

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.

"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. "I want to teach them somethingthey can put to use in later lives." And part of effectively teaching geography, Teshera said, is makingfield trips mean something £j| to the students. p[ "The motivation for this class project is 0| recognitionof the fact that most field trips in A ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 23 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, February 23, 1973 Western Front 7 imously popular unaware that it is from the University of likeKappa's are [fused to it this way," ends that are guys and lot of things together, like skating parties andjam sessions."

"You'd be surprised how many people sleep without their doors locked at night," sheadded. Louder called the presence of girls "quite enjoyable." Sue Bissonette, who lived in Mathes, alsolikes the presence of the opposite sex. She said that there were guys in Mathes Hall anyway. 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." She said that competitionamong girls for men's attention is less than on an all-girl floor. "People thought there would be pairing up," said Colleen Dinsmore, third floor's resident aide. "But it's more like a brother-sister situation." Everyinterviewee advocated more floors like Kappa's third. 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. Class offered on (year)1250 The year 1250 is the subject of a course being offered Spring quarter by the medieval studiescolloquium.

Viks stop EOC, win 2nd in Evco Western's basketball team earned a second place finish in theEvergreen Conference by beating Eastern Oregon College, 90-62, in the Big Blue's last regular seasongame, Saturday.

Among them the "seniors combined for 62points in their farewell performance. Mount was high scorer for the game with 25 points. Franza hit 21and Buza had 16. "I was real proud of the way the seniors played," Viking coach Chuck Randall said ofthe game. "Mount had one of the best scoring nights of his career." Each of the retiring Viks received a standing ovation from the Carver Gym crowd when they left the game in the second half. Buza left withWestern on top by nearly 30 points. The San Jose, Calif., teammates exited from their last regular^ames via the foul route. Mount picked up his fifth with minutes left and his Mitty High School classmate, Franza, charged for his final foul 30 seconds later.

In the second half the three seniors quickly ran the 40-30 point halftime lead to a 20 point margin. In spite of the scoring edge, Randall was not over joyed by his team's performance. "Theyplayed good enough to win, Saturday," he said. "But they were kind of down after beating EasternWashington the night before. Top pointman for the Mounties was Jack Easter with 18 points.

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.

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.

The A.S. meets in Red Square once per quarter as a way to facilitate conversation and distribute information about current A.S. issues, said David Toyer, vice president for Legislative and Community Affairs. "We're out here to show students that we are accessible," A.S. President Victor Cox said. "We're here to show there really isn't anything to hide. If students have questions following the resignations, we're Matt Anderson /The Western Front David Toyer and Michelle Yousey respond to Jennifer Brown's questions concerning Morgan Hepfer's resignation. Board reinstates Carrel to tech fee committee By Siobhan Millhouse THE WESTERN FRONT The A.S. board voted unanimously to reinstate William Carrel to the Student Technology Fee Committee and admitted that the STFC guidelines were unclear. "(Carrel's) expertise is not something that can be replaced easily," said Rafael Castaneda, A.S. vice president for Academic Affairs and STFC chair. "I've been trying to figure out what is best for the committee, what's fair and what's right." It took less than 10 minutes at Wednesday's board meeting for the board to reinstate Carrel to his previous position. The board said the verbal contract the STFC agreed do did not violate the First Amendment. A lot of work is in the STFC's future. The committee faces developing a clear set of guidelines and regulations for future STFC members. "I think that the rules of the committee in this case were very broadly applied and capricious," Carrel said. "The whole problem came out of the bylaws and a general misunderstanding," Castaneda said. Carrel said after meeting with Castaneda, prior to Wednesday, he was not certain what the outcome of the board meeting would be. "What can I say?" Carrel asked. "I'm happy, that's what I wanted all along. I just didn't See REINSTATE, page 6 By Terrill Simecki THEWESTERNFRONT ; The Associated Students board of directors appointed Cedric Bolton the new A.S. vice president for Diversity at Wednesday's board meeting. Bolton replaces former Vice President for Diversity Morgan Hepfer, who resigned from the position in February, citing a lack of support and cooperation on the board's behalf. "I feel like I have a big job ahead of me," Bolton said. "I'm happy, and I am ready to work." . The board unanimously voted in Bolton's favor. "He stood out both as someone that everyone could get along with, and his credentials were very good," said Rafael Castaneda, vice president for Academic Affairs. "He has a lot of experience dealing with people, communicating with people and he conducted himself in a professional way, and that made a big impression on a lot of the board members." The board chose Bolton, a senior majoring in general studies, over Kim Morrison, a senior, majoring in American cultural studies and Michael Tenney, a Fairhaven senior, military veteran and member of the Whatcom County Human Rights Task Force, after screening the candidates in a three-part selection process. Before the meeting, a panel consisting of A.S. President Victor Cox, Vice President of B u s i n e s s O p e r a t i o n s Michelle Yousey and Personnel Director April Uskoski interviewed the candidates and reviewed their resumes. "All three candidates were amazing," Cox said.

"I don't want to sleep at Western or have my home as part of an auxiliary campus," homeowner and Western graduate student Tom Dunson said. Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Happy Valley Elementary School students await their bus ride. "It's almost as if the city of Bellingham has resigned Happy Valley to Western expansion." This concern stems from Western's interest in expanding the campus into Happy Valley, mainly through parking lots, institutional offices and a proposed storm- water treatment facility. Happy Valley encompasses 627 acres bordered by Interstate 5 to the east, Old Fairhaven Parkway to the south, an irregular line between 14th and 20th Streets to the west and Bill McDonald Parkway to the north.

Rescuers found them Wednesday morning because they carried a whistle that attracted the attention of a passing tug boat. The two men from Bellingham were all right when rescuers found them on Decatur Island, located on the east side of the San Juan Islands. The Coast Guard had been searching Bellingham Bay since midnight Tuesday when one man's mother reported them missing. Mayor commends police for calming Mardi Gras crowds Seattle Mayor Paul Schell said he is proud of police who controlled the crowd early Wednesday in Pioneer Square. "Fat Tuesday is no excuse for . drunken rowdiness," Schell said. Police said the use of pepper spray was justified to protect life and property. Spokesman Clem Benton said partiers threw bottles at officers when they went to help a woman who fell off a newspaper stand. Hundreds of people filled Pioneer Square streets. They were drinking at taverns and bars as part of the Mardi Gras celebration. When the crowd refused to disperse, officers fired spray and,arrested 11 people. Five officers suffered minor injuries. NATIONAL NEWS Bradley, McCain come up short on Super Tuesday Bill Bradley walked picket lines, spoke of his commitment to race relations and assailed Al Gore for past ambivalence on abortion. Still, the Democratic Party's core constituencies — organized labor, minorities and abortion-rights groups — remained loyal to the Clinton- Gore White House. After being shut out in 16 primaries and caucuses on Tuesday — and in Iowa and New Hampshire before that — Bradley described his campaign as a success, if not by the number of votes then by the strength of ideas. "We've brought core Democratic issues to the fore," Bradley told his disappointed supporters. John McCain couldn't reach enough Republicans, and Bill Bradley saw his core supporters flock to Al Gore. That was Super Tuesday in a nutshell. Texas Gov. George W. Bush rode support from Republican faithful, conservatives and the religious right to steamroll past McCain. The Arizona senator had support from much smaller groups: moderates, independents and Democrats who crossed over into the Republican primaries, according to the exit polls conducted Tuesday by Voter News Service for The Associated Press and television networks. Bush succeeded in convincing large numbers of Republican voters that McCain was not conservative enough. Nearly half the voters in New England and New York questioned McCain's conservative credentials; in other states, it was a t least one-third. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Palestinians, Israelis set to resume talks Palestinians and Israelis ended a crisis in the .peace process Wednesday by each conceding what had been a cardinal "no": Israelis allowed greater U.S. involvement, and Palestinians accepted territory not abutting Jerusalem. In a telling sign of the renewed U.S. : role, it was President Clinton's top envoy, Dennis Ross, who announced the resumption of peace talks, flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Ross, who said the peace talks would resume in Washington after the four-day Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday beginning March 16, also said the sides are committed to "work in the spirit of partnership and mutual confidence." The accelerated pace — aiming for the outline of a permanent agreement by May and for a full-fledged deal by Sept. 13 - was nonetheless fraught with issues that could sideline an agreement. Arafat suspended the talks early last month over an interim Israeli troop withdrawal from 6.1 percent of the West Bank. China executes senior official China executed a corrupt deputy provincial governor on Wednesday, underscoring the government's determination to end pervasive graft that has eroded support for Communist Party rule. Officials timed the execution to coincide with the country's most public political event and was followed by televised images of the official's ill-gotten gains: caches of cognac, piles of U.S. and Chinese cash, gold watches, diamond rings and a golden Buddha.

Unfortunately, one piece of the project is missing, .and Rieck thinks someone stole it. Classmate Leana Korthuis noticed the piece, a magnifying lens worth up to $400, was missing March 3. The alleged theft occurred hours before Western's Senior Industrial Design class presented senior projects at The Greenhouse in downtown Bellingham. Korthuis said she believes the piece was stolen between 2 and 4 p.m., as she and other students were setting up the exhibit. The store was open to the public. Rieck was out of town at the time of the theft. "I was just sick to my stomach," Rieck said. "It'a just sad that people don't realize all the hours and hours, energy and time (I) put into it." Rieck and Korthuis describe the piece as an abstract, aluminum magnifying glass with an acrylic lens, about four inches long. aIt was really cool and unique, - totally different than anything," Korthuis said. The object rested underneath a glass plate but was open to the hands of the public. "It's the kind of store (where)you pick up stuff and look at (it)," Rieck said. "I think people got kind of confused." Rieck's piece was among a number of projects on display at The Greenhouse, located at 1235 Cornwall Ave. "They were pleased to have a local display," said Joan Olson, manager of The Greenhouse. "There was a great turnout, (but) this kind of marred the event," Olson said. "This (theft) is not typical of our customers," Olson said. "We would have never expected it." Rieck contacted Bellingham police officer Russ Miller, who declined to comment on the case. Although the project already received a grade, Rieck said she will reconstruct the stolen lens. "The biggest problem is that it's a portfolio piece," she said. "I don't have it to show (to) future employers." "All that we're asking is that it's returned," Korthuis said. Conference will address wilderness conservation By Tiffany Campbell THE WESTERN FRONT John Miles, director for the Center of Geography and Environmental Social Sciences at Western, and John McLaughlin^ associate Huxley professor, will speak on wilderness issues at the national Northwest Wilderness Conference 2000 in Seattle March 31 to April 2. The conference will feature speakers from diverse areas of the wilderness issue, including the Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service, as well as many other wilderness advocacy groups. "We have in the Northwest one of the largest concentrations of wilderness in the lower 48," Miles said. "The whole concept of wilderness is changing as well. (This conference) will help explore new conceptions of wilderness that are out there. It's important to get together and talk about it. It has implications for national forests and public lands in general." "We're trying to bring new people into the debate on wilderness," Bob Friemark of The Wilderness Society said. "We want to educate people about what's going on in the wilderness movement." The speakers will form panels that deal with issues like roadless area protection and different tactics for wilderness protection. "The wilderness movement is a very diverse movement, with individuals really adopting different strategies of how they want to be engaged and how they want the issues moved forward," Friemark said, adding that these strategies could be anything from sitting in trees to lobbying Congress. "If we had done this process years ago and based our policies on it, we wouldn't be at the salmon crisis we're at now," McLaughlin said. "Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes." The conference is open to all, and package costs range from $85 to $143, depending on meals.

The coming changes will include the construction of a new Campus Services Center, a widening of Bill McDonald up the hill from South College Way, a signalized, curving intersection at 21st Street and a 180- stall parking lot on 21st Street near campus. Construction of the roadway renovations, intersection and parking lot will begin in June and resume as fall quarter begins, said Ed Simpson, Western's Facilities project manager. "We hope to get the bulk of the messy stuff done (this summer)," Simpson said. The Campus Service Center Project is slated to begin in April 2001 and continue through spring 2002. The center will combine the relocation of the Student Health Center, campus police and the Parking and Transportation offices. The facility will sit directly across the completed intersection at Bill McDonald Parkway and 21st Street and will include basement parking for police vehicles and employees, a 30- space parking lot to the right of the complex along 21st Street and a service entrance/pedestrian walkway that will snake around the east side. Mike Smith of Zervas Group Architecture, the prime contracting outfit of the project, said the new structure will greatly increase police service and student health operations. "This will be a new command center on campus," he said. Smith added that it is the university's goal to transform Bill McDonald into a "southern gateway to the campus" by widening its car lanes and adding a five-foot bike path. A strip of native vegetation will replace the existing brush and scattered trees that line this stretch of the parkway, separating the street from a pedestrian walkway that will run alongside the Softball field. The aim, said Michael Durbin, associate project engineer for David Evans and Associates Inc., is to "try and get drivers to slow down and to create more of a sense of a pedestrian and bicycle environment." In addition, an improvement in street lighting will create a safer route for all and give more of an official entrance look to the university, Durbin said. Simpson said Western's targeted budget for the entire project is $7.4 million. The Campus Services Center's projected cost is $5.1 million and the roadway renovations, including the parking lot, will run $2.3 million. Simpson added that the Campus Services Center has been in the planning stage since 1996, and completion of the roadway planning pre-design occurred in July 1998. Happy Valley resident Dunham Gooding mentioned additional reasons for approving the renovations. "By changing the intersection to a curve with stoplights, it will de-emphasize 21st (away from Western) as a through way," he said. "One of the problems our neighborhood suffers is the fact that people transit through the neighborhood to get to the university." Citizens raised concerns at the meeting regarding the project's clearing of trees and wetlands. Durbin addressed these concerns, maintaining that a trail coming down the hill across from the 21st Street intersection will remain intact, and just one small wetland area between the street and the trail exists in the area to be renovated. Simpson stressed that native foliage will be replanted to replace whatever is destroyed in the project and the entire area around Campus Services Center will be fully landscaped. advice and equipment for the outdoors T * H *E G * R » E *A»T ISfENTlAlI Y 2 0 1 E.

Margin is a loan, from a stockbroker, to buy stock. Federal law allows investors to borrow up to 50 percent of- the money they will need to huy a stock. If the stock costs $10,000, the investor must have $5,000. The risks of investing on margin are that an investor faces the possibility of having to sell a stock and can end up owing his or her stockbroker money. Margin is better for an investor that is going to receive the money to pay the loan off because he or she doesn't have to rely on the stock as the only collateral for the loan, said Nicholas Kaiser, director and president of Saturna Capital. "You are leveraging your account so that you can own more investment (stock)," Wallace said. Margin trading is like doubling the speed of one's car. While one can get to where he or she is going faster, if he or she crashes, the bodily harm will be twice as much. Investors that bought stock in Ogden Corporation learned how devastating a high-speed crash can be. On Aug. 17, 1999 a margin investor could have bought 100 shares of Ogden Corporation for $25 per share ($2,500). The margin loan would have been $1,250. A month later Ogden gapped down from $19.50 per share to near $14 per share. The margin investor would be required to make a margin call at $16.50. Since Ogden stock was collateral for the loan, and the price was '. dropping rapidly, the investor's stockbroker may have decided to sell Ogden to try to recover the loan. If the stockbroker had sold Ogden at $12 per share the investor would have received $1,200; the money, however, §jjr is Silitilipf INN' jj is •mmmMtiwim mfmmsMm 30 25 20 Stock Price Ol O Ol o -* , Ogden's Daily Close • • • • • ' • .

The investor would owe the stockbroker $50. In one month a margin investor would have lost $1,250 and would owe his or her stockbroker $50, for a total loss of $1,300. The investor who didn't buy on margin would have lost $675, because they would have only been able to buy 50 shares with the original $1,250. The percentage loss (54 percent) is the same for each investor, but since the margin investor had twice as much stock they took a larger loss. The margin investor then sells their stock and ended up owing money to their stockbroker. These are the two biggest risks when trading on margin. Advice on sexual, emotional health available at SHAIC resource room By Kasey Halmagyi THE WESTERN FRONT "What herb works best to help boost energy?" "Does my roommate have an eating disorder?" "I can never fall asleep at night; what will help?" Answers to health and wellness questions like these are found at the Student Health and Information Center's resource room. The resource room, located near the back of SHAIC, contains more than 500 books, pamphlets, videos and audio tapes on numerous health related topics. All of this information is available for students to check out, free of charge, for a week. "It's handy for students to have access to books for topics they are writing papers on or for personal use," Catharine Vader, SHAIC coordinator, said. "I've been to Wilson Library, and it doesn't carry a lot of the books we do." The materials in the resource room are organized by topic and have colored stickers indicating what subject they cover. Topics at the center include: emotional and mental health* sexual health, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, physical health, nutrition, fitness and eating disorders. More specific subcategories of these topics are offered at the center, such as contraception, self-help, body image and depression. "The way it's set up helps people easily find what they're looking for," said Heather Piche, lifestyle advisor at the SHAIC. The resource room also has a television and VCR for viewing videos, a computer for looking at a variety of health and wellness Web sites and a Seasonal Affective Disorder light.

He sat with the board- members for the remainder of the meeting. Bolton said he will try to represent the Ethnic Student Center, the Women's Center, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance and other A.S. Diversity groups. "There are a lot of things that I have to get caught up with as far as the board goes, as well as the student body, so I have to see what the issues are and address them," Bolton said. "I think that maybe a meeting of all groups could possibly tie in what was not represented." Western neighbors want less development, building HAPPY VALLEY, from page 1 Western could not use the abandoned Albertson's grocery store along Old Fairhaven Parkway for a warehouse or offices. "Western will wait until the Happy Valley plan is approved before making any institutional plans," Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs George Pierce said. Western has already, however, unveiled plans to widen and develop 21st Street where it meets Bill McDonald Parkway. According to Fred Wagner, chair of the Planning and Development Commission, a final Happy Valley Neighborhood Plan will not be adopted by Bellingham City Council until sometime next fall or later after the commission has provided its recommendations.

"I think people had a predisposition that (the board) was going to be the bad guys," A.S. President Victor Cox said Discussion did not take place in the meeting concerning the removal of Carrel's Web site opinions. Carrel said he still has number of duplexes, such as Adrik's Place, and apartments such as the New York Apartments, also concerned residents. "People want the amount of apartments to slow — not because they're anti-apartments but because the area is changing in negative ways," said Donald Gooding, self-appointed liaison between the neighborhood and the city. Charlsee Sprig recently moved to Happy Valley and enjoys the diversity created by mixing low-income housing with more expensive homes and building new homes next to century- old homes which are next to apartments and small commercial pieces. "I am concerned ... by the acquisition of land to build sleazy student housing," Sprig said. Roy Flueger has lived in Happy Valley most of his 82 years. "We do get a little upset at the students, to put it mildly," Flueger said. "I take my life into my own hands every time I back out of my driveway and onto 21st Street." The rezoning of the Superstore to a larger commercial lot as well as adding commercial space across Harris Avenue drew concern from residents. "I support that little market but it's still just a beer-and-ciga-rettes store," Fleuger said. For the last year-and-a-half, residents have been meeting with city planners at Sehome High School to give their input. "We always hear from our politicians that it's our neighborhood," Survey said.

"Some friends and I were just discussing the vice president resignations," Western student David Lawrence said. "I wanted to know some more information about what was going on with that.

Students said they were caught off guard by the controversial nature of recent A.S. events and this was a chance for them to get their own questions answered. - "I've been reading in The Front about the recent issues," Western student Erik Skoor said.

Staples was originally scheduled to perform her "A Tribute to Mahalia Jackson" concert Feb. 19, but severe snowstorms grounded her flight from Chicago, canceling the show. Only a few tickets remained unsold at show time. "After a nearly sold-out house, it was a great disappointment to find out that Mavis would not perform," Performing Arts Center Series Coordinator Tamara McDonald said. "Yet a gracious and sympathetic crowd filled the PAC anticipating that Mavis would return for a rescheduled date." T h e PAC Box Office staff will contact ticket holders by telephone to ask whether they wish to use their Feb. 19 tickets for the r e s c h e d u l e d March 31 concert or desire a refund. Ticket holders who have not yet been contacted are asked to call the PAC Box Office at (360) 650-6146 to state a preference for the ticket. R e m a i n i n g Photo courtesty of PAC tickets for the Mavis Staples will perform March 31. general public are $18 for adults, $16 for family members of Western students and $12 for students while they last. Tickets for the "student rush" can be bought anytime for $6. Box Office hours are noon to 4 p.m. Mondays and noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The Box Office will close during Western's spring break, March 17-28. Staples' concert, part of Western's Centennial Performing Arts Series' celebration of African American history month, is a tribute to the Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson. "I believe that this concert will jump out for students as well as community members at large," McDonald said. Staples regards Jackson as her mentor, teacher and friend, and had the honor of inducting Jackson into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Staples, best known as the lead vocalist for The Staples Singers, had hits such as "I'll Take You There," "Respect Yourself and "Let's Do It Again." The Staples Singers were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. Throughout her career, Staples has worked with musicians like Prince, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Dylan and Tom Jones. Brendan Shriane THE WESTERN FRONT This band had a hit record once? In England, you say? Interesting. Award-winning Brit band Eels' new record, "Daisies of the Galaxy," is a highly derivative, uninspired effort. Lead singer E leads listeners on a journey to a galaxy that is apparently only populated by people who play organ music that could have been taken directly from the "Austin Powers" soundtrack. 'Eels sort of sound like Beck on hippy folk pills.' "Daisies" is touted as the antidote to 1998's "Electro-shock Blues," an album about the deaths of E's sister and mother. Eels, essentially, are E, also known as Mark Oliver Everett. He does, however, get help on this album from R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Grant Lee Phillips of Grant Lee Buffalo. Eels sort of sound like Beck on hippy folk pills, championing music best described as "alt-pop." E and the boys make an album that at best could only be viewed as a vacant little diversion. With Buck and Philips assisting, one cannot help but think a lot of talent was wasted here. "During the 'Daisies' sessions I realized that we were making two different kinds of records," E said. "One loud, dark and scary; the other acoustic and positive." He apparently chose to release the latter, but the former might have been a little more interesting. While most of this album is boring and insipid, some Eels songs will invariably make it to the radio and then be played ad nauseam in the mall where girls in too-small Tommy Hilfiger T-shirts will wrestle hippy chicks with Guatemalan handbags and butterfly tattoos at the local Sam Goody for this record. The best of the lot is "Flyswatter." Although the lyrics are quite incomprehensible — "Field mice, head lice/spiders in the kitchen/don't think twice about whatever keeps you itching," the song is extremely catchy. In fact, listeners may find themselves humming it days after listening to it. It is, unfortunately, one of the few highlights on an otherwise dull album. "It's a sad song because none of the things in.it really happened," E said. "Daisies" hits malls in March. Order your textbooks online. Try our secure online textbook ordering system.... now faster!

By Monica Bell THE WESTERN FRONT The quality and content of the 12x12x12 Small Works art exhibit can not be decided merely on the size of the art. The mixed media and various artists provide an exhibit whose merit goes way beyond the minute size of the individual pieces. "You can have a small work that has a lot of meaning and a lot of substance without having these giant pieces that sort of lose themselves in their size," said Adam Jackman, information attendant at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art. The 12x12x12 Small Works art exhibit showing in the Viking Union Satellite Gallery at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art utilizes a variety of artists' styles and materials including ceramics, photography, videography, wire work, fabrics and bead work. The works displayed in the exhibit are all from regional art students and had to fit within the size limit of 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches. "It seemed extraordinary to me that it was based on the size of what you submitted," said Genevieve Gonska, a graphic design major at Western. "We were looking for a diversity of media, things that fit within the guidelines ... and well-done craftsmanship," said Caroline Knebelsberger, co-coordinator of the VU Gallery and art major. Amber Strawn, the other Gallery co-coordinator said they wanted the pieces not only to be technically good but express an idea or a feeling. As coordinators of the Gallery, Strawn and Knebelsberger decide the themes for the works they wish to display, arrange publicity for the exhibits, balance the budget — $8000 per year for at least three shows per quarter — talk to the artists and physically hang and arrange the pieces in the exhibits. "A lot of the work that we encourage in shows is student work and this just provides a professional setting for the work to be seen by the public," Knebelsberger said. "It can be really hard for a student to start showing, and it's really important for students to show their artwork to start working on their resume," Strawn said. Gideon Breazeal, a senior art major, has his piece "R. Mutt Cell" displayed as a video in the exhibit. He said this piece deals mainly with a part of the art community where the characters — the amoebae symbolizing the collectors and dealers and bacteria representing the artists — are more reminiscent of a cartoon than conventional art. "It mainly deals with a section of the art world that views and uses - art as a commodity," Breazeal said. Breazeal achieved the effect of his piece by painting, scanning and manipulating watercolors in a computer to produce the final video, which he said took him about 220 hours to produce. Gonska's piece "Rot" is showing in the Small Works exhibit as well. It displays three seeds in various stages of decay. "I made this because there is something beautiful about inspecting organic things in a controlled way.... I think vagueness can be an asset, and obscurity can be interesting," Gonska said. Maggie Evans, a junior art major at Western, has a piece displayed in the exhibit composed of beads, fabric and a mirror, where the words are reflected back onto the mirror. She said the piece not only followed the requirements of her fibers class but also followed the theme of women having positive feelings and ideas about their sexuality. The premise behind one of two pieces presented by Western senior Sopheay Hun in the exhibit involved her choice to merge her double majors in art and science. She presented a piece entitled "The Microscope Series," which involves 12 prints of colonies similar to what one could find in a lab. "I grew them and cultured them and then took slides of them, and so these are the slides that I took," Hun said. The colonies are not conventional in any sense. They include feathers, safety pins, miniature light bulbs and sub-colonies of America. Admission to the 12x12x12 Small Works exhibit is free. The exhibit shows noon to 5 p.m. March 4 through April 2 "at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art's VU extension gallery. A reception is planned for 5 to 7 p.m. on March 30. Angela Smith / The Western Front Matt Hocker studies a sculpture by Ellen Peterson. by the By Brendan Shriane THE WESTERN FRONT Just when you thought the '90s were over and done with, along comes another take on the decade recently past. Veteran Bellingham actor and "self-described play- Angela Smith/The Western Front Walbeck in an act of shameless self- promotion. wright" Sean Walbeck and his local theater group ANBAHAR — Absolutely No Budget And Hardly Any Rehearsals — present "A Fistful of Walbeck." It is the accumulation of a decade of Walbeck's satirical insight on the happenings of Western, Bellingham and even a little about the world outside Whatcom County. Walbeck bills it as "a collection of short works almost like folk music but without the lucrative financial possibilities." Walbeck is a self-deprecating man with the acerbic sense of humor of Michael Moore and, when he introduces his tribute to the dramatic bit player, "There Are No Small Actors Company," the booming voice of Orson Welles. On rehearsal day, Walbeck, who describes himself as "too liberal for the times," wears a rumpled gray shirt and a brown and gold clip- on tie hanging from the collar of his shirt. He has put together a 90-minute collection of mostly comedic short pieces ranging in length from the one-line "There Are No Small Actors" renditions of dramatic classics such as the "Oresteia" and "Streetcar Named Desire" to a 15-minute play in which each character's lines consist of one word. Despite the brevity of most of the pieces, themes ranging from the aforementioned one-line plays to "Peaces," a series of interrelated monologues based on Walbeck's experience at a Gulf War protest, hold together Walbeck's sharp writing. The six individual speeches in "Peaces", united by the background of the 1991 protests at the Federal Building in Bellingham, are both funny and touching. They range from a harried teacher who unwittingly starts a riot of 5-year-olds at "The Preschool for Creative Nonviolence" to a traumatized pacifist who says, "I love my father, so I hate cap guns." The other interrelated strings are: "Transitions," which includes a poignant soliloquy on childhood disappointment at the circus, "Red Plaid Stories," a two-parter that includes "Bellingham Herald Homophobes" and a fake movie trailer about book banning and school levies that features an avenging band of banned authors. Why Red Plaid Stories? "Everybody on every side of every issue wears red plaid," he said. "It's not a distinguishing characteristic anymore." And "TAFHeads," a sort of catch-all category named after a brand of animal-headed water faucet covers. "Fistful of Walbeck" is not just short skits. It contains "The Kafka Shop," described by Walbeck as "Lit major comedy," and "Regrouping," the story of a recently divorced man arguing with his cat, a story based on the real-life experiences of one of Walbeck's good friends, a ^science fiction novelist. The best of the stand-alones is the 15-minute-long "Closing Time," a parody of the David Mamet school of "drama of the inarticulate." This play, in which each line is just one word, details the semiliterate communication of three pizza parlor workers who find they must close the restaurant early because they bought tickets for a concert on a night they should be working. "A Fistful of Walbeck" runs at the Seattle Fringe Festival for five performances at Theater Shmeater, tonight through March 18. ---------- Western Front 2000 March 10 - Page 9 ---------- March 10, 2000 Accent The Western Front • 9 Daniel Peters THE WESTERN FRONT Twist, turn, leap and throw may sound like a great play at second base, but it also applies to modern dance. The Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company won't be playing baseball at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when it brings its innovative choreography to the Performing Arts Center's main stage. "Modern dance is the dance of ideas," Western dance program director Nolan Dennet said. "The idea — the choreography — is what we serve," he said. Dennet said the traveling company, based in Salt Lake City, invited him to view a regular season performance there. The company takes between eight and 12 weeks out of its season to bring its production to other cities. "Sometimes we go into a community and do one outreach and one performance," company founder Joan Woodbury said, "It depends on the sponsor." This time the sponsor is Dennet, who scheduled class, time for the six company dancers to help teach classes throughout the week including a performance for public middle and high school students. "I told them to fill it up," Dennet said of the PAC. "There will probably be 300 (people)." In addition to teaching classes and performing, the company will include three Western dancers: Andrew Anderson, Sarah Frewen and Kathy Pottratz in "Tensile Involvement" by Alwin Nikolais. The piece includes the use of 'If they've done their training right, they can jump right in and pull it off.' Nolan Dennett Dance program director eight large elastic bands suspended from the ceiling and incorporates Nikolais' signature mechanical movement. The piece is more about physical effects and not emotional depth, Dennet said, explaining how his students would overcome the obstacle of learning the piece by Saturday with only three rehearsals. "If they've done their training right, they can jump right in and pull it off," he said. Emmy Thomson, the company's associate artistic director said the company has amassed a large repertoire of choreographed works to draw from and invites its presenter to create a performance befitting the sponsor's audience. Woodbury and Shirley Ririe brought Thomson in to eventually take over the company. "They've been my teachers for 20 years," Thomson said. Thomson said she danced for five years with the company in the 80s and went on to teach dance in Minnesota until the company eventually asked her to consider taking over. Thomson said the company works hard to bring dance to everyone. "Everyone has a creative well inside them — if you can bring that out in a child that is troubled, it makes all the difference," she said. Dance made the difference for second-year company dancer Aaron Draper. He said he chose it and a Spanish major over three years of engineering. "At U.C. Davis (dance) was under physical education," Draper said. "So I probably took 50 dance credits while I was there." Draper said within a year of his first college dance class he was performing. "If you're a male in dance — it's like one in 40 — whenever they need a male you get that role," he said. "It's something about Bellingham," Dennet said about Western's number of male dancers. "Everywhere else I've taught there has been one guy and when he graduates you're lucky to get a replacement." The company will also perform "Wien" by Pascal Rioult. The piece is "about a society spi-raling into decadence before the holocaust," Thomson said. The dancers perform "Wien" with such intensity they can barely stand for a bow at its conclusion, Thomson said. Tickets for the performance are available at the PAC box office. Prices are $18 for adults and $12 for children and students. gt;an PetersTThe Western Front Christine Hasegawa holds a pose while Juan Carlos Claudio snaps Liberty Valentine's neck during a rehearsal. :WORKS OF THE Bronlea Hawkins/The Western Front Two visitors take a peak at "Spawning Ground." By Bronlea Hawkins THE WESTERN FRONT More than 70 colorful and oddly symmetrical wire sculptures dangle like pinatas from the ceiling of the Arco Exhibition Building. Thin filaments of wire seem to grow from a floor lamp glowing with eerie yellow light. A collection of "eggs" sit atop a round, sandy nest in the middle of the floor. "Un/natural World" brings 15 years of Lanny Bergner's work together in one building. Bergner's exhibit challenges the traditional nature of sculpture in both medium and presentation. Spotlighting his sculptures against the museum's black walls makes each piece seem removed from the rest of the exhibit. The disquieting techno music playing softly in the background adds to a somewhat unsettled atmosphere. In one corner, a series of nine conical, cocoon-shaped objects hangs from the ceiling, just above eye level. One nearly touches the ground; the others stop three feet short. Some are glazed with silicone with tiny, delicately placed needles circling from top to bottom. Another, "Persona III," is decorated with carpet tacks with the points facing outward, resulting in a striking resemblance to a medieval mace. In the middle of the exhibit, large amoeba-like wire sculptures hang at varying levels. Many resemble organisms one might see through a microscope; "Cold Stones," a collection of artificial rocks occupies a back, corner. Some "rocks" are pure white, others a mottled grey. Several flying saucer-like objects hover at chest level, directly behind a nest of eggs called "Spawning Ground." Wires spring like tentacles from from many of the sculptures. Museum visitors often seem unprepared for the strange and surreal nature of the exhibit. Some linger, looking quizzically at each piece, often matching up each sculpture with its name. Others glance quickly around and deciding this kind of art isn't for them, leave hastily. A former art instructor referred Bellingham resident John Hastings to the exhibit. His first reaction was to "take all this in as something weird." Hastings said however, he decided to spend time looking carefully and thinking about the names of the sculptures. His conclusion? "I wondered why he did it." Despite the mixed reactions of some viewers, Whatcom Museum chief curator Scott Walli, said, "Un/natural" World has been breaking attendance records. Attendance in December of 1999 was up 62 percent over the same month in 1998. The show is its own environment, Wallin said, and people are intrigued by it. "We felt that it would be very successful with a wide range of visitors," he said. One sunny Sunday, 170 people viewed the exhibit in five hours. Bergner has appeared in many craft shows around the Bellingham area, where Wallin first saw his work. Bergner states in the exhibits program that his sculptures record "feelings about how I viewed the world around me." He said he is fascinated by transforming common household items into something unusual and "organic in appearance." In addition to more common materials, Bergner also uses silicone and hydrocal. Inspired by the natural world, he said he creates art that "celebrates the wonder of it all." "Un/natural World" runs through March 19 at the Arco Exhibition Building in downtown Bellingam.

Greenen, one of the team's captains, will not let her torn left ACL stop her from playing her last season on the team. It may, however, stop her from playing third base as much and keep her behind home plate as catcher, which is her favorite position anyway. "Last year I played catcher 50 percent of the time and third base 50 percent of the time," Greenen said. "But since I tore my ACL last November, playing third is harder on my knee than playing catcher." Because side-to-side movements are more difficult for Greenen, she anticipates playing catcher most of the time. Greenen said she's nervous about her knee, but it won't stop the team from winning. She is convinced the team will do well, partly because of the team's talent and partly because the players have a close relationship with one another. "We're very close-knit," Greenen said. "There are no big problems, and everyone gets along, which is rare on a larger team." Catcher and third baseman Katie Osmundson, who played with Greenen the past four years, agreed with her. "Every girl is out to help every other girl," Osmundson said. Osmundson said Greenen helps out tremendously and has a concern for her teammates. "Andie is probably my inspiration," Osmundson said. "I look at Andie and watch her play ball, and she inspires me to go out and play 110 percent." Osmundson said she has never heard Greenen complain about anything, especially her knee. "I don't think she's human," Osmundson said. "She's a machine or something." Osmundson said when she heard Greenen tore her ACL she was not surprised Greenen would play this season. "That's just Andie," Osmundson said. "She's a very dedicated player, and I can't see her making any other decision." Greenen's knee doesn't affect her often and most of the time she is lighthearted, Osmundson said. "If I get frustrated in a game, Andie will always crack a joke or RETIREMENT I INSURANCE M U T (J A I F U N 0 5 TRUST SERVICES TUITION FINANCING TIAA-CREF's tax-deferred solutions can help you reach your retirement goals faster.

Osmundson said Greenen never criticizes players for making mistakes and is supportive of everyone, which in turn encourages players to do their best. "She's an intense player, and she makes you play up to her level," Osmundson said. Softball coach Art Phinney said he agrees with Osmundson. "We just can't say enough about her," Phinney said. "She's one of the most explosive players we've seen here." Phinney also said that Greenen inspires players to improve. "She's extremely inspirational," Phinney said. "She motivates with actions and not words and is a strong example of what a player should be." After the season he said he will be sorry to have Greenen leave. "You always miss players when they graduate," Phinney said. "But some players become a little (more deeply) entwined in your heart than others."

Joseph leads Western's base-stealing attack. By Joe Wiederhold THE WESTERN FRONT Being at the other end of Gym D as Western fastpitch Softball team sluggers Sonya Joseph and Stacia Varney hit is like being downrange at a gun club. Varney and Joseph are two of six starters returning from a team that went 33-13 and beat No. 1 Humboldt State University twice. Incoming freshmen make up *for the loss of several standout players to graduation. Co-captain Katie Osmundson has complete confidence in the freshman class. "In the past you always (had) to wait and let the freshman mature," she said. "I think the majority of (our freshmen) are ready talent-wise and mental-wise." "I think these freshmen are gonna step up and do their job and get us to where we need to be this year — the playoffs,'' infielder Carlena Herd said. Head coach Art Phinney calls his freshman pitchers "young guns." They are only part of a freshman class that gives this year's team added depth. "We feel like we're deeper," with more talent, than we've ever (had)," Phinney said. "It's going to be numerous different heroes every time we play. There are so many people that have the ability to step up and take charge of the ball game." Several returning players put up amazing numbers last year. Catcher-third baseman Andie Greenen batted .378 with 48 hits, both team-leading and earning second-team all-star honors in the PacWest. Outfielder Joseph added 16 stolen bases to bring her career base-stealing record to 48 in as many attempts. Shortstop and co-captain Darcy Taylor batted .342 with 19 RBIs. Second baseman Coni Posey was also a second-team PacWest all-star, hitting .333 with 18 RBIs. As a freshman, Hope Truitt won a school-record 15 games with an ERA of 1.19 and pitched a nine-inning shutout against Humboldt State. "Looking at her, you wouldn't think she's a pitcher, but she dominates out there," co-captain Joseph said. "I think Hope Truitt has a pivotal role this year being the only pitcher with collegiate experience," Taylor said. Co-captain Greenen said team unity is as strong as her sophomore year when Western won the NAIA National Championship. "Camaraderie is better than it's ever been," center fielder Varney said. Viking women travel to PacWest regional tourney THE WESTERN FRONT Western's women's basketball team enters the PacWest regional tournament in Pomona, Calif. Friday as the No. 2 seed, with a 24-3 record. The Vikings received a bye for Thursday's opening round and will play the winner of the University of Alaska Anchorage Central Washington University game Friday. "The bye is really big," head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "We beat Seattle Pacific in overtime last year. The next day (in a semifinal loss to Montana State- Billings) we ran out of steam in the second half. Getting that bye was a real goal for us." The tournament's winner earns a spot in the Elite. Eight at Pine Bluff, Ark. on March 22, 23 and 25. Other teams in the tournament include MSU-Billings, SPU and Cal Poly Pomona. Western faced all five tournament teams. The Vikings were 9-2 in those games, the only losses coming 74-68 at Cal Poly Pomona and 62-51 at Central. This is Western's third straight appearance in a national tournament. The Vikings reached the NAIA Division I tournament in 1998. Seniors Celeste Hill and Amanda Olsen lead the Vikings in scoring at 16.3 and 13.7 points per game, respectively. Center Lisa Berendsen is shooting a school-record 67 percent from the field (124 of 185). Guard Jodie Kaczor has hit 50 percent of her 3-point shots in the last five games. Sophomore guard broke into starting line-up midseason, never looked back Meghan Pattee THE WESTERN FRONT The majority of Western sophomore guard Jodie Kaczor's time is spent playing basketball. Kaczor's dad was a junior high coach and encouraged her to get involved with basketball at a young age. She began playing with the Amateur Athletic Union's Seattle Magic in sixth grade and continued through her senior year in high school. During this time she also played three years of varsity basketball for Federal Way High School along with three ' Jodie's a very coachable player.

As a sophomore, she is second in all-time 3-point percentage (42.7) and averages nearly six points per game and more than seven in league play. Kaczor chose to play at Western, after receiving an offer from the University of Denver Bronlea Hawkins/The Western Front Jodie Kaczor launches one of her 89 3-point shots this season. Her hot shooting has sparked Western's offense. because of the great program, coach and to be closer to home, she said. "I love the area and I loved playing with Ruthie (Taylor) in high school," Kaczor said. "I thought it would be great to keep playing together." "Playing together (in high school) was a blast," sophomore forward Ruth Taylor said. "We know each other really, really well. We knew (in college) we'd be able to lean on each other. "She's my girl and a leader emotionally," Taylor said. "On the court she is somebody you can look to for that big shot." "What's great about basketball is you get a chance (to) express yourself and go crazy on the court," Kaczor said. "You get to express„all your emotions." "She's very calming and stable to teammates, which is nice to have on the floor," assistant coach Gina Sampson said. "Jodie's a very coachable player," Sampson added. "She's smart and picks up on things quicker than a lot of people." Kaczor said she wants to win it all this season. "We're doing really well, and we've- figured out what we need to do as a team," she said. "That is, everyone can and does contribute." Kaczor is undecided in her major but is leaning toward business. "It's what my dad wants, so I thought I would give it a try," she said. Eventually she wants to coach basketball starting at the high school level and progress to the college level. "She's great," Sampson said. "She'll be a great coach someday because she knows the game so well."

Gary Locke said the initiative would "abolish affirmative action and hurt real people." Washington state still faces a crisis of diversifying its higher learning institutions within the confines of the relatively new law. These institutions must take the issue of diversity into their own hands by actively preparing younger students for entrance into a college or university. Western's minority students comprised only 13.3 percent, 1,546 people, of the total student population in 1998. Washington voters can't expect the state's schools to level the playing field without actively saving enrollment spots for minority students. The end of affirmative action effectively took away any advantage minorities had in competing with the already-advantaged 88.5-percent white population in Washington. This majority must speak up for the underrepresented, and unless voters overturn 1-200, these freedom fighters must find another means to guarantee equal hiring and enrollment. The solution to the legal blockades of 1-200 lies with outreach programs. It is still very legal to encourage minority students to attend in-state institutions and help them compete with other students for admission. The American Civil Liberties Union recently filed a lawsuit in California, a state that passed similarly phrased Proposition 209, charging that disadvantaged and ethnic minority students whose high schools offer few or no Advanced Placement courses are at a disadvantage in competing with students who can access more AP courses. Only 61 percent of Washington state high schools offer such courses. These courses and other opportunities for college credit such as Running Start in high school indicate academic excellence to college admissions officers. By increasing access to them, students could strive for admission into the college of their choice. Schools also need to encourage students to take these classes to prepare them for college-level academic work. Some in-state colleges and universities send recruiters to state high schools. The University of Washington promotes early outreach, going as far as kindergarten to ensure students motivate themselves to be candidates for college education. Western sends admissions information to all students of color who take the PSAT test and encourages ethnic minority students at Western to participate in the Western Experience Program (returning to their high schools for informal recruitment) and the Vike Admit (calling all newly admitted students to answer any questions). Individually, Western students can and should encourage diversity by participating in these programs and spreading the word. Additionally, Western's newly formed Project Kaleidoscope is working to promote and instill diversity into the curriculum by adding more classes dealing with race and minority issues. This will undoubtedly earn Western a reputation for being an open-minded institution. The presence and influence exhibited by Western's Ethnic Student Center and other Resource and Outreach Programs speaks to a student population that refuses to sit idle and be content with a specialized population. The death of legalized affirmative action in Washington did not and cannot stop diversity.

City council needs to take a stand GP water rates need to be decided locally instead of in state courts^ April Uskoski COMMENTARY The Bellingham City Council made only a weak 5-to-2 vote concerning a referendum of Bellingham's water rates for the Georgia Pacific Corp., leaving many to question the validity and strength of the council. The council passed an ordinance on Dec. 14 amending the Bel-lingham municipal codes relating to the city's water utility. • The ordinance established a special "industrial" water-use category with a rate close to one-tenth of what all other Bellingham businesses pay. The catch is it applies only to GP. Concerned citizens presented a petition seeking a referendum, or a direct public vote, on the proposed ordinance. The council had to determine whether the referendum petition was qualified to be on the ballot. Instead of making a decision — that was in their power — the council voted to send it to a superior court judge for the court to determine the validity of the petition. It states in the city's governing body in the Revised Codes of Washington 35.92.010 that the council had the power to establish "classes of water users for the rate purposes." Water rates can be set by the council because it issues the bonds necessary to finance the water system. Why is it then that the council insists on straying from its 'It is the right and responsibility of the of the council to set the water rates ...' direct power and displacing the decision to someone else? Are these the people who Bellingham residents have elected to make legislative decisions for them? Sending the referendum to a judge, who undoubtedly will rule the petition as invalid, relays to the public the work the council has done thus far in establishing water rates is invalid. Why not spare the taxpayers and everyone else any unnecessary litigation and expenses and make a decision — take a stand. A number of cases are similar to the council's situation that deal with power concerning a referendum. An example is the case of Haas vs. Pomeroy. Citizens of Pomeroy submitted a petition for a referendum to amend the city's water utility rates. The Washington state Supreme Court said the power to fix utility rates was "vested exclusively in the City's corporate authorities" and denied the referendum be submitted to the voters. It is the right and responsibility of the council to set the water rates, so voters are curious why the council didn't take that right and act on it. The public process used in establishing the ordinance resulted in a fair and legal one. Hesitation and displacement of power are not the keys to this legislative authority, and it is not the obligation of the council to waste the time of taxpayers by making them make the decisions the council should have made in the beginning.

A.S. silent to protect former V.P.s' privacy As a member of the A.S. board of directors, I am responding to the recent Front article regarding our not giving the students information about Morgan Hepfer's resignation. Victor Cox's Community Voice piece, Feb. 29, clarified this was done to protect Hepfer. In any personnel matter, the details are confidential. We will continue to protect his right to privacy,' even if that means forfeiting the right to defend ourselves. Jefri Peters' resignation came as a shock to us. In her letter of resignation, she cites lack of communication as her reason for leaving. She communicated nothing to us, however, before releasing the letter to The Front. In our closed meeting, she revealed other reasons. Again, to protect her right to privacy, I am not free to discuss her issues, except to call them "personal" reasons. Both Hepfer and Peters said for one reason or another they were no longer able to do their jobs.
