This statistic lumps several minorities into one all-encompasing group. But the students within this group come from places as local as Redmond and as distant as Ethiopia. These students not only have different backgrounds, but different perceptions of ethnic issues and diversity on Western's campus, depending on their individual experiences and personalities. 'I've learned you just don't talk to white people about ethnic issues. They get all fidgety.' Andrew Rogge Western student Andrew Rogge, 21, a Western junior, went to a predominantly white high school in Redmond. Rogge, who's half-Fihpino, half- white, said he never really felt like he fit in there. "They called me 'sticky rice' â€” the football players with their monster trucks," Rogge said. Rogge said he reserves all conversation regarding ethnicity for his minority friends. "I've learned you just don't talk to white people about ethnic issues," Rogge said. "They get all fidgety." He said he usually modifies his topics around white people and minorities who have assimilated to talking about "football and chicks." Rogge said he perceives most people's attitudes as thinking they don't need to know about other people because they have better things to do. "The average student doesn't need to think about diversity," Rogge said. "If you are the mainstream, you're represented everywhere. There's nothing really to think about." Rogge is involved at Western's Ethnic Student Center, attending meetings each week for Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanos De Azatlan (MEChA), the Khmer Club for Cambodian students and the Filipino American Student Association. Rogge said he was a little hesitant about joining FASA at first. "A room of 20 Asians, it's just not natural here," Rogge said. "You have to plan that." He said he has met most of his good friends through the ESC and has found that a diversity of people equals a diversity of experiences, which leads to a diversity of conversation topics. "Anything of substance in my life is related to the Ethnic Student Center," Rogge said. Associated students Vice President for Diversity, Bruno Cross said many programs at Western promote diversity. "The atmosphere at Western provides an opportunity for diversity discussion, but publicity and attendance are not as strong as they could be," Cross said. He said there could also be better coordination between programs serving similar functions, so that members of the different groups could come together forming a stronger effort. Cross said he thinks Western as a whole is not doing enough to promote diversity, but that many groups and individuals are working on it.

The VC is one of three on-cam-pus dining halls that cater to students living in on-campus housing, and is operated by the Sodexho- Marriott corporation along with all of the smaller eateries sprinkled around campus.

"I wasn't used to the types of foods they were serving in the campus dining halls." St. Joseph Hospital registered nutritionist Kristine Duncan said eating vegetables and avoiding fried foods are the most important things for people to do when establishing a well-rounded diet. "Eating a variety is the best way to ensure a complete diet." Unconventional prof questioned By Kristie Aukofer THE WESTERN FRONT One marketing professor's alternative teaching styles will be questioned during an upcoming faculty evaluation. Farrokh Safavi's teaching method will be under the microscope at the end of winter quarter. "The conventional approach is mainstream here at Western," Safavi said. "Some people don't like the way I teach." Safavi's teaching methods include casual references to partying and alcohol. "On some of his tests, he'll list option D as an answer," Western student Seth Myers said. "That answer will read something like, T don't See PROFESSOR, Page 3 Terrill Simecki/ The Western Front Marketing teacher Farrokh Safavi's unconventional teaching style will be reviewed at the end of this quarter.

'It's important not to get stuck eating hamburgers for every meal." Stock market slide nothing to worry about says professor By Camille Penix THE WESTERN FRONT Wednesday's stock market slide may have caused investors to panic, but it is currently stabilizing. The stock market went down 3-4 percent on Monday, and then again on Wednesday. "Usually a drop like yesterday's â€” 3-5 percent â€” isn't going to have a real significant impact on the economy," Earl Benson, a finance professor at Western, said. "A drop of 3-5 percent is See MARKET, Page 4 Isaac Sherrer/ The Western Front Sodexho-Marriott Corp., which runs Western's campus dining facilities, uses 100 percent USDA approved lean ground beef.

The evaluation is a review process that involves the end-of- quarter student evaluations and the opinions of several college administrators, Safavi said. The Business of Economics Dean Dennis Murphy is one of the members on the committee that will either give Safavi merit and allow him to continue teaching, or fire him, Safavi said.

Many students who live on campus eat three meals a day in the eateries operated by Marriott.

"We make sure that students get the best food for their money." 'We price all of the products we sell by doing price comparisons with the surrounding community.' Nori Yamashita Sodexho- Marriott campus manager Marriott runs eight major vendor areas across campus, including a Pizza Hut-affiliated space in Arntzen Hall and the Sub Connection located in the front entrance of Carver Gym. "We price all of the products we sell by doing price comparisons with the surrounding community," Yamashita said. Prices for Marriot products first must be approved by the Facility Services Council before the change can be passed to the consumer. "Changes and prices for new products are approved by the council first to safeguard students from unfair increases," Yamashita said. Although many Marriott . products are cheaper than competing outlets, hamburgers and convenience goods are often more expensive on campus than at retail stores around Bellingham. According to Yamashita, Marriott also attempts to provide students with nutritious menus. "All of our meals are made based on information from students," Yamashita said. "We have made a lot of changes based on student suggestions." "Avoid using lots of condiments and things high in calories like pop," Duncan said. "Also, by keeping healthy snacks in the dorm room, you can limit eating unhealthy foods during meals." Duncan advises students' to ask food providers to include foods to help them stay healthy. "Eat lots of beans, whole grains, seafood and lean meats," Duncan said. "And if they don't serve them already, ask them to."

"Usually the changes are within the half percent to 1 percent range at most." The decline was due to problems firms are having in the United States and Europe, Benson said. Also, the slowdown in demand for industial products he said. A world-wide financial crisis like Wednesday's usually causes investors to pull their money out of the less-stable stock market and invest in safer items such as bonds, Benson said. This reaction causes the stock market to drop even more. On Thursday, the Dow Jones increased about .5 percent and NASDAQ lost 1.5 percent from Wednesday's close. "There's not much change today relative to what happened earlier in the week," Benson said. The Western Foundation, a nonprofit corporation that administers money, donated to Western, is not - reacting to Wednesday's stock market fluctuations. "We don't ever look at it on a one-day basis," Stephanie Bowers, executive director of development and the Western Foundation, said. "We review our investments on a quarterly basis and certainly were in touch with our advisers and investors." The Western Foundation, like many other educational foundations, invests for the long-term, Bowers said. "Even if things turn south for the short term, we hold on in a wise investment policy manner because we are really here for the long haul," Bowers said. "We take the viewpoint that the good years and the bad years provide a balance, so we see our investments in a very steady line." Benson said advice to investors depends on how long they plan to invest and how quickly they want to see results. 'Tor people who are interested in building portfolios for the long-term, it doesn't make sense for them to take their money out and put it under the mattress," Benson said. "They should stay the course and. invest on a regular basis." Benson advises intermediate investors who want their returns within 5-15 years not to panic if the market is down. "The biggest mistake that many individual investors make is to sell when the market is down and buy when the market is high," he said. "What you would prefer to do is buy when the market is down." People who need their money within a year or two shouldn't invest in the stock market, Benson said. It is not unusual for the market to go down 10-20 percent in a year, he said. "You just can't predict what will happen within the next 12 months," Benson said. "So people who can't take that risk shouldn't be in the stock market in the first place." featuring tic iiHmuufe ivivk fi and! pasta. t 3H9n.0GOts8.8tS Bhirfl PIÂ«nBJ7lÂ«j-0IBB^FXr7IN-Â«ra7 01 O W^WZ* - ^ O ^ ^ I O E O O O ^ L ^ O O O T T I w l l ' 1 ^ 1 1 W m ^E^^Eo* OJO-OOOMI w 0 0 0 3 P * W J I lt; ---------- Western Front 2001 March 16 - Page 5 ---------- March 16, 2001 ACCENT Arts Entertainment The Western Front â€¢ 5 Sparring contemporary society By Camille Penix THE WESTERN FRONT The anarchists-criticizing-consumer society book "Fight Club" was written in the back of a car as a big joke, said Chuck Palahniuk, author of the book. Many â€¢ of the stories in Palahniuk's book are illustrations of his friends' experiences. He wrote the book as a sort of scrapbook or manuscript for only his friends to own, he said. "It was never supposed to go this far," Palahniuk said. "Cut it loose. Let it die." Hundreds gathered, some lined up along the back walls of Fraser Hall, last Friday to watch the multi-million dollar movie adaptation of "Fight Club" and hear Palahniuk speak. The tanned and masculine author joked with the crowd and explained where he got some of his ideas for the novel. He said he knew someone who used to splice pornography into Disney movies. He learned how to make soap in a friend's basement. He heard Canada had a problem with burning the human fat from liposuction surgeries. He received a call from a friend who was a banquet worker, who said, "I am at an Easter party where people are wearing $800 hats. I am peeing on everything." All of these scenarios eventually worked their ways into the book. Palahniuk wrote a few short stories, one about a fight club, another about a man addicted to self-help classes and others based on stories about his friends. He realized that he wrote the stories about the same two. men and woman. He then put the stories together and created the novel. Palahniuk had very little input in the making of the movie "Fight Club," because he never thought it would actually happen. The only problem he has with the movie is that it ignores the scene in the book where the main character returns to the self-help classes. The movie should have come full-circle to the point where the protagonist is dismissed by the people he was deceiving, Palahniuk said. Overall, he thought the movie was an incredible adaptation. "To watch people do a better job with it than I did was sort of torturous," he said. Audience members were interested in the philosophies of the book and many asked Palahniuk to explain the main philosophies. 'To watch people do a better job with it than I did was sort of torturous.' Chuck Palahniuk Author of Tight Club' "The truth is that there is not a uniform philosophy throughout the book," Palahniuk said. "My personal philosophy is that if it's scary and it hurts, that's the place to be." "I was really struck by how similar the themes were in 'American Beauty' and 'Fight Club,'" said Adam Larios, Whatcom Community College student. "There's a form of anti-materialism and destruction of societal structure (in both movies)." .still. . looking for t ir Quit wasting your time and money!

Instead, he chose unusual characters to tell the unusual story. One of the similar themes of both movies is that the main characters take control of their lives despite society's pressure to go along with the established culture. One audience member criticized the revolution aspect of the book, and said he felt Palahniuk was putting his peers down for generational apathy. "The 60s tried to fix everything and change the world," Sumas resident Trevor Carsley said. "It didn't work. They bought into society. Our slacker rebellion is the revolution because we are living our own life and rejecting what society says." "Rather than seeing people against something, I would like to see them for something," Palahniuk said. "More entertainment is becoming people sitting back and waiting for professionals to do things for them," he said. He would like to see people doing the things they pay to watch someone else do. Project Mayhem, a combination of anarchist plans carried out by members of the fight club, was created to test self-identity. It forced the members to realize their capabilities are far greater than they expected, Palahniuk said. "Project Mayhem was to empower everyone to be a leader," he said. "That is why it was decentralized. "Fight clubs have sprung up, but I am an opportunist who put a label on something that has been around for a long time," he said. Some screenplays are in the works for Palahniuk's latest three novels, although he said he wrote them with the vision that no one would read them. "You can smell the desperation when a book is written to be made into a movie," Palahniuk said. Palahniuk has written three books about nihilism, mutilation and destroying the identity that Western society lives by: "Fight Club," "Survivor" and "Invisible Monsters." While the three books illustrate nihilistic characters, his latest novel, "Choke," finally shows a character standing to change society. "It's a hard leap to jump from nihilism to actually standing for something," Palahniuk said. We all know that some of society's rules are ridiculous, but no one steps forward to try something new, Palahniuk said. "We have become a nation of cynics and sarcastic assholes."

By Melissa Evavold THE WESTERN FRONT When Andrew Hu applied to Western, he believed the school would have a film club. "I wanted to make my own movie and I needed a place to show it," Hu, now a Western freshman said. So he took it upon himself to start the A.S. Film Club. With a few friends and a little bit of support from A.S. films, he set a date for what is to be the first Western Film Festival. " The Film Festival is a venue exclusively for students," Hu said. "A couple of people have done it before, but it has always died in the past," Professor Perry Mills said of why no campus film club previously existed. "We (the members of the Film Club), thought we were the only ones interested, but there are a lot of students interested in film," Hu said. "Some classes in Fairhaven. We want to promote the aspect that the interest is here." What started out as some friends enthusiastic about filmmaking has turned into a club with 30 to 40 members. Hu uses a Hi-8 milliliter camera and digital camera for filming. The movie Hu is submitting is called "For Heather." "It's an unconventional love story, more^about college students and their lives^" Hu said. Hu said making a movie takes a considerable amount of time. "You need a script, actors, equipment, you have to deal with sound problems and rewriting the script, it's a huge project," he said. "Above The Knees" is another movie that will be shown at the Film Festival. It was made by Vince Felice, another co-founder of the Film Club. "It's a 'mockumentary' about a famous racquetball player, his fall from glory and his return," Hu said. Felice filmed the movie during winter break using a Hi-8 camera. Hu is still in the stages of shooting his film. "I'm behind in my movie but it will be done by April," he said. Hu said the Film Club needs entries for the Film Festival. To enter a film, students can send a copy on a VHS tape no later than April 3 to: WWU Film Festival Club Viking Union, Box 1-8 WWU Bellingham, WA 98225 Most anything is accepted, short films, feature length films, animation, and one minute films. "The only requirement is that it has to be entertaining and it won't land me in jail," Hu said. "We want to show as many films as we can. We have two right now; one that is 90 minutes and the other is 25 minutes." The festival will be the week of May 14. Admission is free. During the week, Hu will show movies at 7:30 p.m. at Arntzen Hall 100. "Lost Highway," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Bandits," are some of the movies to be featured. "It' s a nice idea," Mills said. "I hope to get students excited about it." The.Western Film Club's Web page, www.wwufilm.uni.ee, has listed a number of Web sites to help any Western students get started. Hu says filmmaking equipment is getting cheaper and cheaper. "It's true, you really can make your own movie," Hu said. Mills said if students needed advice on making a film, they can stop by his office. Hu plans on being at Western for all four years and hopes to make the film festival an annual tradition. "Western has a lot to say," he said. | | | | | | : | | | i i e ^ d a r . . d^ajSii^'^i^^S^^^ | i | | | i | i i | | s t n i u s t ...be submatteldjl^iiiÂ® ^ ^ ^ ^ B ' ^ v } â€¢;â€¢; 'â€¢' : ; i:;|;:llSllll H||ftift;fee\a,Western s t ^ d e n t ; 5 l l l | | i | || |l(||;::|L|ms:''m.ust be in E n g h ^ ; ; ; | r | i | | || I^HImlllD^hsh.

That's one possible explanation for the razor-sharp contrast between the two disparate stage personas living inside his tattooed body. The one that'll be onstage April 4th at Mount Baker Theatre is his spoken word persona. This Rollins is charming, self-effacing and very, very funny. Oh, and fully clothed. The Rollins that comes out during his music performances is a completely different animal. Usually dressed in nothing more than a pair of black shorts, Rollins the musician is a brutal, sweaty beast prowling the stage. He and his band punish the audience with a sludgy blend of punk and metal as he shout-sings his way through song after song focusing on self- examination and sometimes straying into loathing. .".. But perhaps these two personas aren't so different after all. They 'His words are sometimes self- heavy-handed, but no one can doubt Rollins' sincerity both *n sucn brutally frank approach every performance with the songs as "Just Like You," honesty of a steroid-addled Abraham where he confesses his Every Rollins performance is a session fears that he is following On the leather couch, with the audience in the footsteps of his dbu-playing psychoanalyst. Each night on s{ve father.' stage, Rollins performs an exorcism, ridding himself of his demons of self-doubt, rage and alienation. His words are sometimes heavy-handed, but no one can doubt Rollins' sincerity in such brutally frank songs as "Just Like You," where he confesses his fear that he is following in the footsteps of his abusive father: "I am the man from a human choke hold/1 am the product of your restraint/ Now I watch myself explode/ Now you get to taste my rage/ You should see the pain I go through/ When I see myself in you." Rollins' spoken word performances are a combination of monologue, storytelling and poetry, though he has said in the past that he prefers the term "talking shit" to "poetry." Topics in his performances, which are sometimes as much stand-up comedy as anything else, range from politics to stories about life on the road to his love life, or sometimes, his lack of a love life. So what would the Rollins of old think of the Rollins of today? In the early '80s, he was the "singer" in the pioneering SoCal punk band Black Flag howling aggro-sarcastic lyrics attacking sellouts and mainstream America. The modern-day Rollins does voice-overs for car commercials, drives a BMW and has bit parts in bad Hollywood movies (anybody remember "The Chase?" How 'bout "Johnny Mnemonic?"). He's even done some VJ-ingforMTV. Rollins is something of an entertainment mogul these days. He has his own publishing- house called 2.13.61 Publishing (his birthday) and he's written more than 15 books. He also has his own record label, Infinite Zero, on which he re-releases out-of-print albums from such influential bands as Gang of Four and Devo. Some might criticize him for becoming exactly what he once hated â€” a rich, contented businessman. Some would simply call him a tireless Renaissance man constantly seeking out new challenges. Either way, he's an energetic performer who gives his all every night, no matter which Rollins is on stage. ---------- Western Front 2001 March 16 - Page 7 ---------- March 16, 2001 Accent The Western Front â€¢ 7 24-hour slump By Christina Schrum THE WESTERN FRONT Slump. What is slump? It could be a state of mind, a person's last name or an acronym. But last Saturday night, it was the theme of a 24-hour play. The purpose of the 24-hour play was to have six writers each come up with a script, all using the same theme, to have directors work with actors in rehearsing lines to create a character and then perform the plays, all within a 24-hour period. The play process started last Friday night when six writers were given the theme and sent off to write a 10-15 page play in roughly eight hours. The writers worked throughout the night while listening to music, eating candy and conversing with each other about the problems they faced while writing their scripts. "I'm surprised to find I'm having such a hard time," English major Jessica J mnson-said a few hours into the process. Johnson said it's a difficult task,, but she would rather stay up until the last minute and turn in a well-written story. Writer and actor Peter Doolan said this is another opportunity for him to playwright and act, and that's why he got involved again. "I don't care if it's the greatest thing in the world or if it stinks on ice," Doolan said. "I just want as many people as possible to experience it." While the writers worked diligently on the^g.cripts, the directors put, on .auditions in Ffaser Hall. The auditions consisted of groups performing one-minute improvisations. By 5:20 Saturday morning, the writers turned in scripts, and the directors met with one another to start casting their plays. The directors took turns choosing which actors they wanted to work with. Several times directors would argue about an actor if more than one wanted to cast them. In these cases, they would bargain with each other to come to an agreement, said production manager Shannon Sindelar. Photos b y Christina Schrum/The Western Front In "The Bunny and the Least" written by Caleb Martin Stengal and directed by Shannon Sindelar, actors Neal Bailey and Justin Poland reminisced about their wild night at the Playboy Mansion while actor Kevin Beck complains about not being invited. Sindelar, who brought the idea of the 24-hour play to Western, got the idea from a Eugene Lang College Catalog. At 7 a.m., the directors informed actors which plays they would perform in later that day. The actors then met with their directors at 8 a.m. to get scripts and start rehearsing. Veteran actress Corinne Wilson said being part of a production like this is probably an actor's worst nightmare. "It gets you over the stage fright," Wilson said. When actors are on the stage and start to forget lines, they may get stressed out. So this environment of learning lines and performing forces you to act, Wilson said. At noon, after a few hours of rehearsing, actors took a lunch break while the directors met with Sindelar and stage manager Dayna Littlejohn. They discussed lighting cues, the order in which the plays would run and how long each play would be. Rehearsals took place in empty classrooms and in the halls of theater wing in the Performing Arts Center. Actors ran lines while practicing where they would place themselves on the stage. Directors also gave their input on what actors should wear and how they should develop their characters. Elizabeth Victoria Baldwin and Cassandra Murphy portray Siamese twins in a 24-hour play. This particular play, written and directed by Robbie Wachs, takes the audience on a journey through the adventures of Siamese twins Irma and Ima Slump. Brock Madden, who began acting at the age of seven, said to develop his character, an 80-year- old man, he gathered images from television and his personal life. "You kinda do what comes naturally and put your own little spice into it," Madden said. This was Madden's first time acting in the 24-hour play. He said the hardest part about the whole process was remembering that his character was 80 years old. He said he found himself holding back a lot and not being so forceful with his character. At 4:30 p.m., each director was given 20 minutes to run through a cue-to-cue with the cast to test lightirig and work on scene changes. This time around, Sindelar set aside an extra hour for the cue-to-cue because she said last time the crew found themselves working on stage right up until the house opened. At 8 p.m., more than 80 students filled the Old Main Theatre to see the performance. "I was shocked," Sindelar said of the crowd that came to see the play. This was the first time the play was publicized other than some poster hanging up around the PAC. Last fall about 25 people showed up, Sindelar said. Each play ended with roaring applause from the audience and even a few laughs from the actors. *Tt was an entertaining train wreck," Doolan said of the play he wrote. Doolan used the theme, slump, as an acronym for the Strategic Lethargy to Undermine a Moronic Presidency. The few times during the play in which the acronym was mentioned it wasn't always said accurately. "They (actors) stuck with it and I give them credit for that," Doolan said. Besides a few missed lines and a prop falling out of place, most of the people involved said they felt the play turned out to be a big success. "I think it was the best yet," Sindelar said. "I'm always amazed." "We weren't all completely 100 percent to the script," actor Denise Michelsen said. "But I think it still worked really well." ---------- Western Front 2001 March 16 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ The Western Front S PORTS NCAA II Intramural March 16, 2001 Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Junior guard Shelton Diggs powers his way inside for a rebound against Cal State San Bernardino Saturday as the Vikings clinched the West Regional championship. Diggs took on the role of a team leader this season. Western recruiting for championships By James Lyon THE WESTERN FRONT The Viking basketball program is quickly becoming a powerhouse in NCAA Division II play in only its third season after moving up from the NAIA. Both the men's and women's teams qualified for the NCAA Division II national tournament this year. The men won the West Regional championship last weekend and earned the right to move on to the Elite Eight tournament in Bakersfield, Calif, where a national champion will be crowned. To put out talented and successful teams each year, the coaching staffs must recruit players to fill their roster spots when players graduate or leave for other reasons. While most recruiting is done during the summer, when coaches can attend various summer tournaments and can watch a handful of-players, recruiting is an ongoing process. "It's a year-long process," men's head coach Brad Jackson said. "We write letters and make phone calls all year long. See RECRUITING, Page 9 Relax... We '11 Drive You!

Call for details today/ 380-8800 JlklRPORTER SHUTTLE www.airporter.com Digging for a title By Kevin Bailey THE WESTERN FRONT "How did we let this guy get out of California?" a Cal State- Baker sfield radio announcer said at last Saturday's West Regional championship game in Carver Gym. The guy he was talking about was Western guard Shelton Diggs. After graduating from Long Beach Poly High School, Diggs was recruited by several schools, including NCAA Division I Pepperdine. In his final two high school seasons, Diggs led his team to a 58-6 record and was voted an all-league selection his senior year. However, he wanted to get away from California and focus on academics and basketball. "I just wanted to go to school where I could get away from all the hustle and bustle," Diggs said. "I can just relax and hang out here in Bellingham." Playing in his third season for the Vikings, Diggs has taken on a leadership role in his first year as a full-time starter. "Jared Stevenson scored a lot, so I had to come in to this season with some leadership," he said. Stevenson, the older brother of former Western guard Jacob Stevenson, graduated last year after starting for four years with the Vikings. "Shelton does a lot of things for our basketball team," head coach Brad Jackson said. "He's one of the smartest players I've had the privilege to coach." Diggs is in the top five of every statistical category for the Vikings and is one of six Vikings to average double-digit points. He averages 13.9 points in 30 minutes per game. Diggs also leads the Vikings in . steals, 3-point field goals . attempted and 3-point field goals made. "Not only can he drive to the basket, but he is a great 3-point shooter and an extremely good defender," Jackson said. Diggs enjoys not having to score 30 points a game. '1 love getting everybody the ball," Diggs said. "If everybody stays happy, we win like a team." "He's so easy to coach because he is very aware of what he's doing and what everybody else is doing," Jackson said. "He really is a floor leader." One main reason Diggs knows so much about the game is because he comes from a family of basketball players. His younger brother is the backup point guard at the University of California, and two of his cousins play for the University of Missouri and Stanford University basketball teams. When Diggs' career at Western ends, he hopes to play in the NBA. "Playing professionally has always been a dream of mine," Diggs said. "I would love to play in the NBA or somewhere overseas." But the NBA is going to have to wait for Diggs, because this year he is busy working to bring home a championship for the Vikings. The Vikings head to Bakersfield, Calif, next week to play in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight tournament. "We're looking to go down there and win it all," Diggs said. "All of the teams left are in the top 10 in the nation, and we are going to show them that we are the best." .

Both the men's and women's teams are allowed by the NCAA to offer 10 full scholarships each year to the players on their rosters. But due to the athletic program's budget concerns, not all scholarships are used every year. Following NAIA rules, scholarships were very limited! But since the Vikings' move to t he NCAA, the teams gradually have been working their way to the maximum of 10 scholarships allowed. The women's team has 12 players from Washington. Head coach Carmen Dolfo has emphasized trying to get the best players Washington has to offer. Dolfo said in-state recruiting helps create a family atmosphere where players can relate to each other. The only player on Dolfo's roster who is from out of state is freshman Jenn McGillivray from Salem, Ore. McGillivray came to the basketball team's summer camps "A lot of players we recruit could have gone Division I. It's just a matter of the right fit and situation for the player" Brad Jackson Western men's basketball coach every year, so she was very familiar with the program and the coaching staff. Many schools contacted McGillivray including the University of Washington, but she said she felt like she found a home at Western. "They were so straightforward during the recruiting process," she said. "They constantly kept in contact and took the time to make me feel special. "It made coming here a lot easier. I felt like part of the family right away." While Jackson said he certainly wants to get players from Washington, his team has a California flavor to it. At the beginning of the season, the Vikings' men's roster consisted of five players from California.

After the jump to the NCAA, the Vikings were able to attract higher caliber players. "A lot of the players we recruit could have gone Division I," Jackson said. "It's just a matter of the right fit and situation for the player." Freshman Jason Burrell had a lot of interest from Division I schools but he said he felt at home when he visited Western. "When I visited, I just fell in love with Western," he said. "I just felt like it was the right place for me." Members of Western's first Division II recruiting class in 1998, now juniors, are leading both Viking teams to national prominence. The women's 1998 recruiting class of Jodie Kaczor, Ruth Taylor and Julie Walker has proven to be a successful one for the women's team. Walker has become one of the leaders of the team, which despite losing its top players from the national semi-finalist team of last season, were right back in the national tournament this year. In the fall of 1998, Jackson welcomed a highly touted' freshman class. Jacob Stevenson, Shelton Diggs, Chris Stevens, Brian "Yogi" Dennis and Mike Palm came with the high expectation of bringing Western to t he pinnacle of Division II dominance.

At least one professor did something, and now he's got his feet in the flames because of it. Farrokh Safavi, a professor in the College of Business and Economics, will be reviewed at the end of this quarter because of his unconventional teaching methods. He uses references to alcohol and drinking to liven up lectures and tests and to help him relate to students. Because of this effort to make his class more casual and fun for students, Safavi will face the lengthy and beaurocratic process of offical review that could potentially lead to his dismissal â€” all for a few wisecracks about beer. Professors have a responsibilty to give a good example for students and to present themselves in a professional manner. But we're all adults here. Safavi isn't going to corrupt anyone or say anything they haven't already heard by peppering his class with jokes about keg stands and hangovers. Although this review may have been spurred on by a complaint lodged by a student, the truth is that most students enjoy his relaxed stylek It may even make students more likely to actually go to class, instead of skipping when they have that mean hangover. Safavi should be judged on his ability to teach and whether or not students in his classes are learning, not the quality of his humor. Safavi got to the heart of the matter when he said, "The administration likes professors who don't rock the boat." He's exactly right. The administration's decision to put Safavi under such scrutiny shows just how unwilling it is to take risks. The administration likes what it knows and what's safe. If that safety comes at the price of boring students to sleep, it's apparently a price the university is willing to pay. Western should open its eyes to a method that works for at least one professor. Safavi should be commended for making an effort to reach out to students that most professors don't bother to. And since Safavi has made this effort to reach out to students for our benefit, it's time we repaid the favor. Students who have had and enjoyed classes from Safavi should write to or call Western's Provost Andrew Bodman and the Dean of the College of Business and Economics, Dennis Murphy, to tell them that they support Safavi's teaching methods. Bodman can be reached in Old Main 460 or phoned at 650-3480. Murphy's office is in Parks Hall 419 and his phone number is 650- 3896. If the administration is going to silence the boat-rockers among the faculty, maybe it's time we did some boat-rocking of our own.

Cook COMMENTARY So the city of Bellingham has dropped its case against Georgia-Pacific West, Inc. â€” what a surprise. Congrats to the city for standing up to one of Bellingham's worst polluters. It is good to see that government will step in on behalf of citizens. The system works. G-P is no longer using diesel generators and will soon be a "clean green" operation. "I will continue to work with Georgia-Pacific in their pursuit of clean energy supplies and to find ways that those employees who are now laid off can return to work," Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson said after the announcement of the agreement between the city and G-P. Yeah, right. Kudos to the City for selling out its citizens yet again to a dinosaur industry. This allegiance to outdated companies like G-P and the Olympic Pipe Line Co. does nothing but harm the citizens of Bellingham. Why be so lenient with companies who have so often exhibited blatant disregard for the well-being of anyone but themselves? The Olympic 1 8 ^ 1 1 ^ ^ ^^ Pipe Line Co. *: " " * ^^ was given 'Why be so lenient with extension after Â§Â§gg| to companies who have so its often exhibited blatant disregard for the well- being the of anyone but themselves?' extension repair faulty line. But all company did with the time was hire more lawyers to figure out a way to get out of the whole deal. Every three months, Olympic showed up at a city council meeting with some reason why it didn't complete repairs. It would ask for another extension and the council, would in turn, grant one. This ability of the municipal government to bend over backwards for irresponsible companies is amazing. In the case of G-P, the city justifies its coddling by citing G-P's economic importance to the region. True enough. G-P is one of the city's largest employers. However, G-P has not shown the same allegiance to the citizens of Bellingham or even to its own employees. The second the going got tough and electricity prices began to rise, G-P dropped employees in order to stay profitable. Is that the action of a community- oriented company? That being said, why does the municipal government stand so steadfastly behind this company?

Pat yourselves on t he back, city council members and Mayor Asmudson. It may have taken some prodding, but you all showed that you do have backbones. However, a hollow threat is not much of a threat, and when a moratorium can't even pass unanimously, it is obvious where the council stands. G-P saw through the political charade and called the city's bluff. As has been par for the course, the city backed down. The only real solution to the problem is to update the city's economy and move away from industries whose heyday was in 1900. If half the energy expended by the city to help companies bend rules and regulations were put toward real economic development, Bellingham might end up with fish in the bay and streams that don't blow up.

He suggests, however that cultural differences of international students be addressed and programs should be created to help these students succeed according to their cultures and what they know. Western freshman Abdiwali "Abdi" Mohamed, 20, was raised in Kenya and Somalia. When he moved to the United States in 1995, he knew how to speak Arabic, Swahili and a little Italian. As he learned English, though, he forgot how to speak the other languages and now can only recognize some words. He traveled to the United States with his aunt, leaving his parents in Somalia. He spent six years in Seattle and attended Ballard High School. Mohamed said when he came to America, he knew it was a predominately white country. Mohamed said he doesn't have a problem fitting in, as he makes friends easily with all different races. "The people I surround myself with accept me for who I am," Mohamed said. He said many people come to chat with him and ask him questions about his background. About 10 of his Caucasian friends expressed their interest in registering with him for a Modern Africa class spring quarter. Mohamed said he recognizes Western's attempt to attract minorities through programs such as Western President Karen Morse's Kaleidoscope Project, as an attempt to take an active role to improve its diversity relations. "1 honestly have to say I like it here," Mohamed said. "I want to spend four years at Western." Both Mohamed and Rogge said they think cultural knowledge could be expanded by increasing the number of Comparative, Gender and Multicultural Studies credits required. 7 didn't really come here looking for black people.' Menbere Kelemework International student Menbere Kelemework, 23, is an international student from Ethiopia in her senior year at Western. In Ethiopia, Kelemework attended an international high school near the country's capital. She said many ambassadors' children from all different countries attended her high school, allowing her to interact with a variety of people. Kelemework said Western is not as diverse as the town she grew up in, but she still has enjoyed herself. "I wouldn't change a thing," Kelemework said. "This has been one of the best experiences of my life. "I've learned to be more independent, and I've gained a higher value for my culture and background. You have a tendency to take things for granted. It's when you step out of your comfort zone that you notice how beautiful your people and your culture are." She said many of her friends from the United States have pointed out that Western doesn't have many minorities, but she doesn't really mind. "1 didn't really come here looking for black people," she said. Kelemework said she approaches diversity and race on an individual basis. "We're not the same," she said. 'Tm different than my Ethiopian friends." After Kelemework graduates from Western, she said she would like to work in the United States to gain work experience before returning to Ethiopia to help her father with his business. She plans to major in International Business. gB^gF^FALL QUARTER 2001 Corner of 32 nd and Bill McDonald Pkwy. 2Bedw/1 1/2 Bath Apt. Includes D/W, fullsize W/D, deck, carport, W/S/G paid.

Lou Parberry Fitness Center, located in the gym, can accommodate 100 students during peakhours of the day. "During peak-time (cubby holes) are loaded with backpacks," said Lou Parberrysupervisor Eric Tripp. "There's a lot of traffic." Gym employees do not monitor personal items in thegym, Tripp said, but students still seem comfortable leaving personal items in the open. "Somestudents don't think about it," he said. "They can be kind of naive. If they would just take the extra fiveminutes and get a locker." Students who have_ physical education classes are issued free lockers inthe locker rooms. Students not in PE courses have to pay a $6 fee for the quarter. The lockers are metal baskets that are used as drawers and lock in place. University Police Chief Jim Shaw said eventhough petty theft isn't a huge issue at Western, it is a crime of opportunity. "Obviously you shouldhave an expectation that your belongings won't be stolen," he said. "But obviously, don't leavebackpacks unattended . and don't leave purses alone." Backpacks, wallets and clothing left in theopen tempt a theft problem, Tripp said.

"It's important to vole to getappropriate leaders in those positions to make good decisions and people that will represent us best," Jon Hildahl, A.S. elections coordinator, said. "After all, that's what a democracy is based on â€”everybody placing their vote." Forums and debates during the past week introduced candidates to thestudents. April 20, an informal forum brought candidates to the Fifth Floor Viking Union Eateries toanswer student questions. "It's all about trying to get the candidates access to as many people aspossible," Hildahl said. Hildahl organized the forums and debates for this year's election.

An international event that started in the early 1970s,Take Back the Night provides women a venue to protest violence against them, said Women's Centerco-coordinator Monica McCallum. With voices ringing out to reclaim the nighttime streets, womenstretched two city blocks, striding confidently down North Garden. They radiated energy magneticenough to draw men to street corners and women to the march. "This is the epitome of what needs tobe done worldwide," said Whatcom Community College student Greg Plumis. A group of women singing a cappella opened the rally with a beautiful harmony that verbalized frustration about the lack ofaction against perpetrators of domestic violence. "Last night, I heard the screaming, loud voices behindthe wall â€” another sleepless night See RALLY, page 4 Nick Haney/The Western Front Approximately800 women unite to take back the night. A.S. clubs show connection to Earth in displays ChrisFuller/The Western Front A.S. Recycling Center won $50 with this Earth Day display. By Jaclyn Mercurio THE WESTERN FRONT Out of 120 Associated Student clubs invited, only four participated inThursday's It's Your Planet â€” Everybody Makes a Difference, sponsored by the Western Environmental Watch Club. The clubs were encouraged to create a display of recycled materials that symbolizedtheir club. Western students voted the A.S. Recycle Center display as their favorite presentation in thecompetition, which celebrated Earth Day. The display pictured Earth created with recycled cans and aninformational display showing what products students can recycle on campus. Brieanne Kellogg, A.S.vice president for Activities, said the lack of participation from clubs is probably because spring is sucha busy quarter. "Clubs are very active with their regular meetings and the events they're putting on, somaybe they didn't have time to help out with the fair," Kellogg said. Senior Bret Haakenstad said hedidn't think the event was big enough for students to pay attention. "I walked by twice and didn't noticeit," he said.

EEOC accused the company of harassing andfiring an employee because he is Vietnamese. The man, Phouc Nguyen, worked as a wing assemblymechanic in Everett for 10 years. Boeing said he was fired two years ago for poor performance. The suit seeks back pay, compensation and a fine against Boeing. Nguyen said he was ridiculed because hespoke with an accent and was blamed for errors committed by others. He said he complained severaltimes to Boeing's in-house EEOC, but did not receive help.

"Earth Day was a service-learning project designedto bring student and faculty together on a different level," said Cori Schlender, coordinator of theevent. The volunteers dug out trunks from diseased trees that had been cut down last quarter. They also trimmed blackberry bushes. Fairhaven College coordinated and funded the project, Schlender said.This quarter, plants, such as mulberries, daikon radishes and clover, will be planted in the orchard soil to prevent erosion and the loss of minerals from the soil, Schlender said. The site, commonly referred to as the Outback Garden, is located behind stacks eight and nine of the Fairhaven dorms. "The ideacame out of the desire to do something together to further the Fairhaven community," said KathrynAnderson, communications and women's studies professor at Fairhaven College. "This actually isn'tEarth Day; today was designed by our government," Schlender said. "It's a nice day to celebrate mother earth, soil and being alive. The real Earth Day is on Spring Equinox, a couple of weeks ago."

The extent to which distance education will be integrated,however, remains a debate. The University Planning Council spent the past quarter dicussing theconcept of distance education and its role at Western. "I think it's time for the governance of theuniversity to debate, discuss and explore these issues to decide how far we will go," said John Miles,chairman of the University Planning Council and director of the Center for Geographic and EnvironmentalSocial Science at Huxley College. Distance education aims to provide schooling to those who areunable to use classes on campus. Western offers independent learning and interactivetelecommunications-based courses, which Miles is familiar with. Miles teaches an environmentalhistory and ethics class via video to students who live on the Olympic Pennisula. "I go over there once in the beginning of the course and once at the end; it adds a human element to it," Miles said. "I thinkwhenever possible a human element should be injected into distance education." Opponents ofdistance education fear the "human element" of education will be lost with the convience of recievingan education through a computer. "It is the purpose of education to create inquiring people who havethe will and intelligence to create their own destiny," said Victor Cox, Associated Students vicepresident for Academic Affairs. The social atmosphere of the university is key in accomplishingthis, Cox said. "There are students who simply can't do that," Miles said. "How are we going to servethose students?" David Spade Sophie Mareeau A comedy about a guy who would do anything to get the giri of his dreams - and did! Miles said he disagrees with the idea that students would choose toeducate themselves via computer rather than attend classes on campus. "I can't believe that would everhappen," Miles said. "The standard student, 18 to 22 years old, wants the social atmosphere." "I don'tthink 18-year-old students are ready to go online," Cox said. The commonality between both sides ofthe issue is that Western's distance education plan needs structure and regulation. "We need a plan," Miles said. "We aren't currently ready to tackle this systematically." In order to make distanceeducation successful, faculty needs adequate training; standards must be set for all distanceeducation courses and these courses must not be mounted at the detriment of on-campus programs,Miles said. "It needs to be funded," Miles 6aid. "The campus community is not likely to stiffen moneyaway from campus programs." ouncl â€¢ be Spade. mmmmmmmmm mmmm OOTID SPADESOPHIEHARCEAU IOSTM* PATRKKBRUEL ARTIEUWGE ummMummmm â€¢SJOHNDEBenoouSTOODP.SMfTH " " " M E R I C E MORRIEEISWWIAMUOSOVE BRODERICKJOHNSON ^ J i O M iMARC MEBfSi DAVID SPACE " T O P O W C X m â€¢â€¢i.bÂ»^hhi.awÂ»fct.d la www.wb-4ostandfound.com STARTS APRIL 23 AT A THEATRE NEAR YOU.

Won't do no good to call the police â€” always come late ifthey come at all," the women sang, eliciting applause from the hundreds of women crowded into thelounge and spilling into the street, listening to the sound system and watching the monitors.Encouraging women to protect themselves, students of Total Confidence Kung Fu, a self-defense school in Bellingham, presented Wing Tsun, the only type of martial arts developed by a woman. Uttering astring of loud, unintelligible phrases and using quick, continuous movements, two women fought offthree male attackers wearing helmets in an unchoreographed demonstration. Developed 300 yearsago, this type of self-defense is "simple, soft, fluid and devastatingly effective," said the spokesman for Total Confidence Kung Fu, a school of self-defense that promotes "empowering people by teachingthem to know themselves, their bodies and their strength." "In the United States, a woman isassaulted â€” usually by her husband â€” every 15 seconds," said keynote speaker and social injusticeactivist Alice Y. Horn. "Attacks inspired by bigotry say in unequivocal terms to every member of thevictim's group: "This could happen to you."' Horn urged all groups representing the different targets ofhate crimes to band together and show their communities they wouldn't tolerate violence. "One personalone can't do much, but thousands of women in the street are at least making their voices heard,"Western freshman Michelle Malmquist said. Speaking' for Western's Women's Center, co-coordinatorTrisha Eubank listed resources that should be provided on campus, among them self-defense courses and people trained to talk with survivors of violence. "We deserve to be safe," said Western junior KimAnderson, a survivor of physical assault. "We.. deserve to not have to defend ourselves.

"Victims ofcrimes should Courtesy of Tim Klein Julie Johston (left) and Heather Hamlett participate in a candle lightvigil in Red Square after the march. not be treated with suspicion." The crowd erupted in cheers,welcoming speaker Kathryn Dalen, a professor of women's studies at Whatcom Community College and a survivor of domestic violence. Sharing her testimony, Dalen verbalized a question common amongwomen who have never been victims of their partners' abuse â€” "Why did I let him do it?" Afteremphasizing women aren't allowing the abuse â€” men are choosing to inflict pain, she admitted no onecan know why women return to their abusers. Rally speaker Eric Ward, a member of the NorthwestCoalition Against Malicious Harassment, recalling the recent shootings in Colorado, noted he'd neverheard of an incident where women went on a shooting spree and called out to men to take charge of aproblem of violence that is their own. "This society has pushed women into a corner, and it's time formen who call themselves allies to reclaim the space that rightfully belongs to everyone â€” including women," Ward declared. Teachers still fighting for 15 percent despite Legislature's response WALKOUT, from page 1 Potter said the rally featured speeches by union presidents of the 14 districts represented.After the speeches, a group of teachers from Bellingham called on local legislators to speak to theteachers. Rep. Kelli Linville, D-Bellingham, Rep. Doug Ericksen, R-Bellingham, Sen. Harriet Spanel,D-Bellingham and Sen. Georgia Gardner, D-Blaine, all responded.. According to an article in the April22 issue of the Bellingham Herald, Ericksen said teachers in Whatcom County aren't as adverselyaffected by inflation as those in the Seattle area. "Especially in the Mount Baker School District, theyhaven't lost 15 percent to inflation the last six years," Ericksen said. "I hear their pain, although I thinktheir union leaders' have given them unreasonably high expectations this year." "Doug (Ericksen)doesn't get it," Potter said. "Low pay affects teachers everywhere." Potter said parents have mostlysupported toward teachers during the walkout, but a few were angry. "We've had a few phone calls hereat the office," Potter said. "One woman wouldn't even give 1 don't think we're going to get the 15percent, but we're not going to let up.' Shirley Potter Bellingham Education Association president usher name. But we've also had people call and ask where we were going to be so they could come outand support us." Potter said Bellingham Superintendent Dale Kinsley was not pleased with the walkout. "He was not happy, but I have repeatedly asked him to do things like lobbying with us, but we never gothim to bite," she said. Kinsley could not be reached for comment. Potter said the teachers arefrustrated because despite the state's booming economy, teachers have not been recognized fairlyby the State Legislature. "We feel the state has shirked its constitutional duty," Potter said. "I don'tthink we're going to get the 15 percent, but we're not going to let up. We won't lie down." April 26debate: ELECTION, from page 1 will be proposed to each candidate. Recurring themes, such asclassroom space, hiring more diverse teachers, campus violence and chalking, are among the issues tobe discussed, Hildahl said. So far, the voter turnout to the events has been similar to other A.S. election years, Hildahl said. The actual number of students who voted during the past two years increased. Jack Smith, adviser to the A.S. elections coordinator and VU activities director, said the issues bringvoters to the polls. In 1998, 23.4 percent, 2,435 students, voted in the general election, he said, incomparison to the 1997 election, in which 15.7 Last chance t o scope out t h e 13 A.S. candidatespercent, 1,622 students, voted. The 1998 increase in votes is partially due to the interest in theVendor's Row issue on the ballot, he said. Hildahl said the current issues, the Washington StudentLobby initiative and the referendum to increase technology fees, on the ballot have the potential toattract student votes. The initiative and the referendum are fiscal matters â€” however, the WSLinitiative also determines how involved students want A.S. in state government issues, Smith said.Yet, the importance of issues is not the only reason to vote. "I think the AS. is an extremely important organization on campus, although a lot of people don't know too much about it," Hildahl said. "I mean, they are a multi-million dollar business and that money is going toward organizations and eventsassociated with Western." The A.S. made some changes to the election process this year. The A.S.election code, rules for the candidates, was revised to make clarifications and resolve any loopholes orgrievances within the document. Genevieve Panush, current vice president for Business andOperations, lead the project this year. "It's kind of like the rules, so we create the most equal and fairplaying field as possible," Panush explained. The election code now states candidates can spend $100on their campaign. During the past years, the maximum amount was 'If you want to see good thingsdone â€” go out and vote for good people.' Genevieve Panush A.S. vice president B u s i n e s s a n dOperations $80; the amount was increased due to rising costs, Panush said. Major changes todocuments are accomplished by the A.S. Board. The officer who is assigned to make the changesdepends upon the weight of the student vote. "If you want to see good things done â€” go out and votefor good people," Panush said.

"So they take it off and stuff it (by thestorage bins) instead of tying it around their waist or taking it station to station with them." Tripp, who'sworked in the gym for five years, said reported thefts usually occur about twice per year; however, morepersonal items may have been stolen. "It's the same here as it is in the rest of society," Tripp said. "If they leave a backpack in a park and.walk away and lose it they say 'Oh well, I screwed up."' Tripp saidhe has thought about moving the cubby holes to a different location to prevent theft.

A.S. clubspromote awareness of human impact on environment with Earth Day displays EARTH, from page 1 Latter Day Saints Student Association and WEW. Ellen Hutchinson, co-coordinator of WEW, said shehopes people walk away realizing that everyone makes a difference. "Everything that everyone doeshas an impact," she said. "The first step to changing things is awareness. Each person is responsiblefor their actions. The goal is awareness and taking responsibility," Hutchinson said. Betsy Novak, whohelped create the A.S. recycle display, said she hopes it spreads awareness about what isrecyclable* on campus and what individuals can do to make a difference. "The biggest thing is toeducate the student population of what is recyclable," Novak said. The A.S. Recycle Center won $50 for its first-place display. WEW created letters with recycled two-liter bottles to spell out its acronym.The Latter Day Saints Student Association reused carpet padding to create bodies holding hands andthe Environmental Center made a sign of recycled products that shared information about recycling.Gwen Heisterkamp, co-coordinator of WEW, said she wants people to realize Earth Day is foreveryone and not just environmental groups. "We wanted to get to people from all different walks of life included," she said. Although only a few clubs participated, students said they were happy to see an effort made to educate people about recycling. "It encourages people to recycle and be aware of theirenvironment," senior Michelle Foster said. "I think they did a good job." ---------- Western Front - 1999 April 23 - Page 5 ---------- April 23,1999 ACCENT Arts Entertainment The Western Front â€¢ 5 Three-quitared BarneyBenedictson/The Western Front Man or AstroMan? performing at the 3B Tavern last July. By ScottLaMont THE WESTERN FRONT Don't look to the sky in hopes of seeing an alien craft. The ship isprobably filled with those gray, big-eyed oddities anyway â€” what's the fun in that? To see aliens whohave assimilated into human form and have started their own band, look toward the Viking Union.Beaming down at 7 p.m. Sunday April 25 in the VU Main Lounge is the group Man or Astro-Man? Theband consists of four members: Birdstuff, Blazar the Probe Handler, Coco the Electric Monkey Wizardand Trace Reading. Man or Astro-Man? claims to consist of aliens who crashed on Earth near Alabama sometime in 1992. Wanting to meld with humans, they assumed the form of college students andstarted a band in an attempt to blend. This odd band continues its quest to return to the Grid Sector byputting out music albums and touring the country conducting research. "This will be the best live showyou've ever seen!" said Chris Porcarelli, special events coordinator for Associated Students. The recipefor Man or Astro- Man? is really quite whacked. The music is a mix between '60s surf music and afunky, modern space-age style. The band started by listening to Link Wray, The Ventures, Dick Daleand other older music to get the surf feel. It is now leaning toward more "modern" electronic-type music. Their new album, EEVIAC: Operational Index and Reference Guide, Including Other ModernComputation Devices, was released in stores April 20. According to Man or Astro- Man's press release, the album blends "an intriguing mixture of electronic experimentation and energetic live banddynamics." Opening for Man or Astro- Man? will be Zen Guerrilla and the Rock*a*Teens. "(We're)bringing together the best bands of this world and some of those from worlds beyond," Porcarelli said.Tickets for the all-ages show are $5 for students and $6 general and are available at the PerformingArts Center box-office or Cellophane Square.

By Jen True THE WESTERN FRONT As "Jock JamsMega Mix" played in the background, the captains of Western's first competitive dance teamauditioned prospective dancers looking for enjoyment, confidence and talent. The dance team startedas an inspiration last spring and is now preparing for its second year. Five women brainstormed theclub during the '98 spring quarter, but were unable to continue with the commitment. Captains JodiAlexander, Sabrina Johnson, Sherri Alberts, Heather Werckle and Vanessa Keverkamp said theyadopted responsibility for the team after the founders quit. Amidst the hype of this year's basketballgames, Western's new dance club took front stage. It performed six times, including a women'splayoff game, the captains said. "For me and a lot of girls, (performing) is a big adrenaline rush," Alberts said. Dancer Heather McCormick said the rush starts as she takes her position at the beginning of aperformance and hears the crowd cheering. "I feel like I am part of the school," she said. Performing atInterlake High School's drill/dance invitational Feb. 27 was a highlight, Alexander said. The womencarpooled down, caked their faces with makeup and put on smiles for their showcase performance,which Alexander said was a personal best. "It felt so good because everyone was so excited to seeus," McCormick said, adding that the experience brought the women together as a team. Next year, the team plans to increase its number of performances to include football games, Alexander said.Wednesday's tryouts determined next year's team, however, fall tryouts will give more dancers achance to join for basketball season. The captains said they hope to become more involved with other college dance competitions in the state. Even national competitions are a future possibility,Alexander said. The team practices two nights per week where ever it can find space. Winter quarter itpracticed in the Viking Commons, McCormick said. Brainstorming ideas with team members,competition videos and past routines, the captains said they choreograph jazz, hip hop and drill routines. They said they enjoy the chance to show off their hard work and talent. McCormick said shescreamed with joy when she learned about the club at the fall Info. Fair. She has danced for 14 years,but her high school did not have a drill or dance team. "It is something I've always wanted to do," shesaid. "Most of the girls that came on the team had at least two years experience, but we had a coupleof girls that had none and they did great," Alberts said. "It just depends on how much you want it." Theteam is hardworking and its improvement during the year was amazing, Alberts said. The captains saidmany people were delighted to see their performances. "We like to bring in older music â€” songs the audience can relate to and have fun with," Alberts said. In order to fund their club, the women will havefour car washes, a bake sale and will help at the Kappa Carnival. ROLL THE By Chris Goodenow THEWESTERN FRONT Whoever said gambling was for rich old fogies? It's time for poor college students tohave some fun. Casino Night, organized by the Residence Hall Association, starts at 8 p.m. Saturdayand lasts until 12:30 a.m. It is the one night where underage students can hit the town â€” well,Carver Gym â€” and try their luck at roulette, craps, horse racing, poker and black jack. "It's going to beamazing. The (RHA) council has put a lot of work into it and it's going to be a lot of fun," said NovaGattman, co-chair of Casino Night '99. "There's about 1,500 people that will be coming to this, and it will make our stress and hard work worthwhile." Gattman said participants will gamble for chips, but thechips do not represent real money. The less fortunate who lose all their chips do not necessarily loseall their money. "People end up making millions and millions and millions of dollars, and some people make $50," said Jefri Peters, co- Chair of Casino Night '99. Participants are handed a cup full of chipsequivalent to $500 when they walk in. If someone loses all their chips, Peters said a loan shark willmake them do something wacky to earn more, such as sing the Barney song or ask another personstrange questions. How much loan sharks give is up to their discretion. The loan sharks will carrysigns that read, "The depression is coming,"â€” a phrase that echoes the theme for Casino Night '99:Bourbon Street Blues, 1920s.

Initiative for $2 student lobby fee ByErnesto Cardenas The Western Front Some will call it a "donation," others will call it a "fee." No matterwhat it's called, students may be automatically charged $2 to support the Washington Student Lobbywhen they register for fall classes. More than 750 students signed a petition reading: "Shallstudents be assessed a $2 fee for the Washington Student Lobby, provided that a mechanism for arefund or waiver be included?" Associated Students Legislative Liaison Jesse Salomon insists, however,it's not a fee. "I don't know the strict definition of a fee. It's going to be automatically assessed,"Salomon said. "But you can't get a fee refunded." Salomon said it has yet to be decided, how refundswill be assessed, though he has discussed various options with the administration. He saidstudents may be able to receive a refund from the Plaza Cashier. "We want to talk about whether it'stoo restrictive in terms of a refund or political backlash that we could suffer," Salomon said. "We want tofigure out a way where we can up donations without angering certain students." Salomon said anexample of angering students would be if students became frustrated with long lines at the PlazaCashier. The WSL doesn't count on this being a problem. "It's not extremely likely," Salomon said. "Ifwe thought everyone would get a refund we wouldn't have the initiative. The way we see it, it's ineverybody's best interest to donate. "The 10 percent of people who don't agree with student lobby, andwho don't agree with the legislative agenda that the WSL lobbies for, will be the ones who'll pursue arefund," WSL Vice Chair Erin Smith said. See FEE, page 10 Making an impact with voting By ChrisChristian THE WESTERN FRONT The Associated Students Board has a few suggestions and tips toconsider while voting for a candidate and picking a leader. Each candidate should possessleadership skills, a working knowledge of the A.S. organization and be able to communicate well withthe students, according to A.S. guidelines. "What issues are important important to you?" askedSarah Steves, A.S. President. Before the elections Tuesday and Wednesday, find out what eachcandidate has to offer the students of Western and the surrounding community. As a representative ofWestern, candidates should support what the students want and are passionate about, Steves said. A-S. officers aren't just responsible for planning event, Jon Hildahl said. "They're our link to the school,"elections coordinator, Hildahl said. "So, it -is also important that they are able to communicate withthe students." "This is very different from high school," Steves said. 'There is a huge hud-get, and weare not puppets of the administration.' Sarah Steves A.S. President "There is a huge budget and weare not puppets of the administration." Deciding which candidate to vote for can be made easy. TheA.S. Review can be used as a reference, along with voter pamphlets and printed interviews andstatements by the candidates. The last debate is from 6 to 8p.m. Monday in the Viking Union MainLounge. The debate will air on KUGS 89.3-FM. A newly revised Washington Student Lobby initiative and technology fee referendum will be on the ballot with the individual races. Voting day will give Western students the opportunity to make their voices heard. "If I can get the people to understand theissues, we let them make a better vote," Hildahl said. Increased technology fees proposed on ballot ByJulie Graham THE WESTERN FRONT In light of a belief that the current Student Technology Feedoes not provide adequate funds to meet Western students' technological needs, the AssociatedStudents Board of Directors has posed a question to student voters: "Shall Western WashingtonUniversity students be assessed a $5 increase for the Student Technology Fee Program?" The current$10-per-quarter raised approximately $330,000 this year. The university and the Western Foundationtogether guarantee $200,000 per year. A $5- per-quarter â€” raising the STF to $45 per year â€” wouldprovide about another $170,000. The existing STF has allowed Western to maintain pace with changingtechnology, but an increase would allow the university to "break past the rate of inflation anddepreciation," said Victor Cox, A.S. vice president for academic affairs and STF chair. He said when the A.S. Board and members of the STF Committee talked with students, all said they supported a 'Thisis one fee that everyone benefits from, whether they live on campus or off: they all use technology on campus. 'â€¢ Victor Cox A.S. presidential candidate fee increase, and when given a choice between$10 and $5, they chose $5. This year, the STF Committee received nearly $1.5 million of proposals intechnology, but had only $530,000 to fund them, Cox said. The STF has provided funds for upgradingcomputer labs in Miller Hall, Arntzen Hall and the Ross Engineering Technology building, and for various program-specific labs such as English, foreign language, sociology, physical education and math.The fund paid for 192 dial-up access ports and enhanced the lighting and sound system in the FairhavenAuditorium. Proposals must come from campus organizations, and the funding decisions are made byWestern President Karen Morse. "This is the one fee that everyone benefits from, whether they live on campus or off; they all use technology on campus," Cox said. Western was the first university in thestate to institute a student technology fee â€” passed in 1995 â€” but now has the lowest fee, he said. ---------- Western Front - 1999 April 23 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ The Western Front Election Special April 23,1999 Presidential JLiictor Cox By Julie Graham THEWESTERN FRONT Victor Cox said he believes his leadership abilities, passion for the position andexperience, along with the knowledge he gained of governance procedures this year, make him aneffective choice for Associated Students president. "My heart is 100 percent in this job," he said. Coxsaid he sees the A.S. president facing issues next year including diversity, safety, overcrowding andenrollment, parking, lobbying for state support and working to create a student recreation center. "Iwould like to have an open forum every month â€” the A.S. Board, Morse and the provost â€” so we canbe accountable and interact with students," he said. Communication is key, and it shouldn't be thestudents' responsibility to come during his office hours if they have something to say, since his behavior is accountable to them and the board, Cox said. "My goal as A.S. president is to always be visible andavailable to students," he said. He said he'd like to start a club for freshmen and sophomores thatwould encourage their leadership skills and community involvement and get them involved early incampus activities. "All the students at our university have so much leadership potential, and I wantto facilitate that," Cox said, adding he fulfilled his goal of filling all student positions on universitycouncils. "We can make a difference on campus," he said. "I know that sounds trite, but it's true." AsA.S. vice president for academic affairs, he has chaired and served on 15 university and A.S.committees, including the Budget Committee and the Student Technology Fee Committee, Cox said.Cox, a political science major, was president of the SHADO â€” Sigma, Highland, Alpha, Delta andOmega â€” hall council and served on the University Services Council before being elected to the A.S.Board of Directors in 1998. tephen Shurtleff By Corey Lewis THE WESTERN FRONT Stephen Shurtleffs mission is clear: He wants to win the Associated Student's president office using one tool â€”approachability. From his campaign slogan, "Tell me what you want me to do for you," to his laidback, approachable demeanor, he said he wants students to know that he will work for them, nothimself. "I'm a real student," he said. "I'm not somebody who goes to school just to get involved instudent politics. I'm not here to fulfill my political ambition." Instead, Shurtleff said he wants to leadthe A.S. to make sure students' voices are heard. He said being A.S. president will help him in his future occupation â€” teaching. Shurtleff, a senior elementary education major, said a teacher once toldhim to truly fulfill the role a teacher must occupy, it is necessary to get experience in all facets of life."He told me there's all types of background a teacher needs," Shurtleff said. "Politics, communityservice, being a firefighter, just having all types of life experience." He said he heard positive andnegative feedback about issues from students. None, however, has enflamed passions more thancampus safety. Shurtleff said Western needs to look at how the administration addresses campussafety and violent crimes. "I want to change Western's style of doing things from reactive toresponsive," he said. "Instead of 300 people attending a meeting (about the recent rape on campus),every student should attend and be involved." Shurtleff said he was saddened that the issue of rapeneeds to be politicized to get people's attention. "Safety goes beyond politics," Shurtleff said. "That is the most essential need for any campus." Shurtleff said many students are concerned about thechalking moratorium. He said he supports free speech, however, chalkers should use restraint. "It's something that should be allowed, but that doesn't necessarily mean (chalking) should be exercisedon campus," he said. Shurtleff said he is well qualified for the job. He said the job entails micro-management and leadership â€” two strengths he believes he possesses. aron Spencer By CoreyLewis THE WESTERN FRONT For Aaron Spencer, involvement in campus and volunteerorganizations, and a love for Western, is motivation to win the office of Associated Students president.Spencer is involved with the community â€” on and off campus â€”- during his three years at Western.Along with being a second-year resident adviser in the Fairhaven dorms, Spencer was a Residence HallAssociation representative on the A.S. Facilities and Services Council. "Besides the different offices I've held, I've done a variety of volunteer work â€” cleaning up Sehome Hill, Casino Night, Big Brothers/BigSisters, Campus Buddies and Western Preview," Spencer said. Spencer said he is a natural fit for theoffice he is seeking. "The job is right for me," he said. "I really like Western and I'm very proud to be astudent here." "I'm not running on a strictly A.S. platform, but on a Western platform," he added.Spencer said he sees the need for more dialogue between the administration and students. "I don't seehow the administration can truly understand the needs of students without open dialogue with the A.S. representatives," Spencer said. He said one of his goals is to have open communication withPresident Karen Morse â€” something he would do with or without her cooperation. "I'm going to bepersistent," Spencer said. "It only takes one drop to start a waterfall. If one person can't do it, then 50 or100 can." Spencer said he will work to change Western's safety policies to be more proactive. Forexample, he said self-defense classes always fill up, yet are only offered a few times a year. "It'sobvious that we need more of these if they fill up," he said. He said safety is an issue that constantlyneeds to be addressed on campus and in the community. "Even when the skies are blue and life isgood, there will still be those issues in our society," Spencer said. "It needs to constantly bediscussed and dealt with." ---------- Western Front - 1999 April 23 - Page 9 ---------- April 23,1999 Election Special The Western Front â€¢ 9 Vice presidential Vice president for Diversity By Carrie Van Driel THE WESTERN FRONT "My ultimate goal is raising awareness," said junior. MorganHepfer, candidate for the Associated Students vice president for diversity. Sophomore PhantaChambers, another candidate for the position, said she shares this goal. "I want to accomplishawareness and interaction between clubs, students, faculty, everybody," Chambers said. "It's notjust about minorities and people with disabilities." Chambers, an English secondary education majorand women's studies minor, says she wants everyone to be educated about the programs offered oncampus. Chambers is involved in several activities including, the Phata Chambers Morgan HepherAfrican-American Alliance, the Sister-to-Sister program, the Multicultural Service Center Mentor/Menteeprogram and is an orientation student adviser and treasurer for Birnam Wood apartments.

The Puyallup native said he wants diversity to be highlighted oncampus. "I think that this position has the greatest potential for beneficial impacts on campus," hesaid. "I care about diversity issues," Hepfer said, adding that in his mind, diversity issues equal moralissues. Vice president for Activities By Lisa Bach THE WESTERN FRONT The candidates forAssociated Students vice president for activities share a goal of providing Western students with moreactivity information. Tillie Gallagher and Amy Finkbonner are campaigning to fill the position, whichincludes organizing campus events, speakers and clubs. Gallagher, a freshman, was awarded the Junior Achievement Award for the greater Puget Sound area while attending Federal Way High School. AtWestern, Gallagher is a writer for the Kitchen Debates and is a Resident Housing Associationrepresentative and historian for Buchanan Towers. "We organize campus-sponsored events, and rightnow we are working on Casino Night," she said. "No matter how busy I am, I can always find a way tohelp out. "I put a lot of work into things and they come out really well," Gallagher said. "People thinkthat because I'm really happy that I am stress-free," she said. "That is such a compliment because itshows that I handle stress well. - "Through activities, I would like to make Western a fun place to go. Iwould like to Amy Tillie Finkbonner Gallagher make the activities more publicized and accessible,"she said. "Maybe I could inspire some of the more idealistic people to go out and make their ownclubs." *â€¢ Finkbonner is a senior who graduated from Bellingham High School with the OutstandingCommunity Involvement Award from the Ethnic Minority Honors Program. This past week she waschosen as a role model for Winds of Change magazine, a national publication that helps NativeAmericans select a college. "This is basically my backyard, so I have a real heart for Western,"Finkbonner said. "I care about our campus and our students, and I want to represent them with style."Finkbonner has held similar positions in the A.S. Senate, allocating money to different clubs andactivities. She is also active in leadership clubs and Campus Christian Fellowship. "I don't have aformal title, but I do administrative stuff at the Inn," she said. "I did an informal survey on campus, and Ifound that students love what has gone on, but they don't feel like they know about things,"Finkbonner said. "I would like to have a public place where people can find out about things on time." "Ican bring two important things to the position: creativity and approachability," she said. "Activities are a big part of campus that I care about. I'd be excited to represent the student body and to tap into the vast creativity on this campus," she said. Vice president for Legislative and Community Affairs ByHolly Hinterburger THE WESTERN FRONT The April 27 Associated Student elections brings twocandidates for the position of vice president for legislative and community affairs. David Toyer and Joshua Cummings say they have experience and desire to serve Western. Toyer is running for a second termas vice president for legislative and community affairs and said he loves his job and feels as if he hasaccomplished a lot this year. "I really love what I do," he said. "Hopefully that carries me to do a goodjob for the students." The Washington state legislature proposed tuition increases as high as 40percent. Toyer helped start a student e-mail program that was effective in bringing the increase down tonormal levels, he said. Toyer also played a . part in erecting an 8-foot "tuition popsi-cle" outside of theA.S. office, he said. The popsicle was part of his work on keeping tuition low at Western. Toyer alsoserves on a committee responsible for drafting David Toyer Joshua Cummings an InstitutionalMaster Plan for Western, the Mayor's Neighborhood Advisory Commission, the parking appeals boardand is the student representative on the library senate. If re-elected Toyer said his plans include astudent bus pass, hate-crime legislation and a funds-matching policy for child-care facilities on campus. "I try to make myself really available for students," he said. Joshua Cummings said if he is elected heplans to concentrate on student involvement next year. "I can take what students have to say, focus it,research it and write it up and find out what we can and cannot do," he said. "Focus it and propose it tothe legislature." Cummings has legislative experience working as a precinct committee officer in ClarkCounty. He participated in student government his freshman year at Western as a Mathesrepresentative. He said he plans to increase relations between Whatcom County and Western bytalking to community members. He said he will continue to work on tuition issues with the legislature.Student input, however, is the focus of Cummings' plans for next year. "I feel I have a good pulse on thestudents here," he said. "That is necessary to make the A.S. Board more accessible." Vice presidentfor Academic Affairs By Chris Christian THE WESTERN FRONT Deciding how to decrease classroomsize and the amount of technology fees are just a few of the pressing issues the aAssociated Studentsvice president of academic affairs will have to examine during the 1999-2000 school year. The twocandidates for this A.S. position, junior Rafael Castaneda and junior David Mclvor, said they feel thatthey would fulfill the task of being a liaison between the students and faculty if elected. Both said thatthe education level and process at Western needs to be improved. That includes class size, onlineevaluations of professors and more interactive General University Requirement classes. Castanedasaid he wants more voices to be heard at Western. "I want to bring more of a knowledge of diversity toWestern's campus," Castaneda said. "By allowing a more eclectic voice to be heard." Running for theposition that Rafael Castaneda David Mclvor eluded him last year, Mclvor said he believes he haslearned what it takes to hold this position. "I've gained the experience necessary," said Mclvor. "Iknow I can do it." Each candidate agrees the classroom sizes at Western need to be improved, but both have different platforms they will focus on during their term. Classroom size and diversity in thecurriculum may be important issues for Castaneda, but he said he would like to see an increase in thestudent-to-faculty relationship. Castaneda said this would occur with open forums for students tovoice their grievances and opinions. "This would let Western see there are problems and then try andfind ways to solve them using a variety of student voices," Castaneda said. Mclvor said he has threeissues he would like to make priorities next year. The three issues are building school unity, giving the ---------- Western Front - 1999 April 23 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front Election Special April 23/1999 Vice president for Student Life By TiffanyCampbell THE WESTERN FRONT "I just don't want people to get lost in the shuffle," said junior Jefri E.Peters, uncontested candidate for Associated Students vice president for Student Life. Peters, arecreation major, currently serves as the vice p r e s i d e n t / N a t i o n a l Communications coordinator for the Residence Hall Association, sits on the housing/dining committee for the residence halls,participates in faculty online evaluations and co-chairs Casino Night. "Safety is a big issue right now,"Peters said, in reference to the recent reported attack in Miller Hall. . Peters said she plans toimplement a community watch program throughout campus. "It's really important that studentsare aware. I want to make this a Western community problem," she said. One of Peter's main goalsas the vice president for Student Life is to be the liaison between students arid the A.S., she said. "Iwant people to be able to come to me, so that I can send them to the right people (in the A.S.). I don't Jefri Peters want people overwhelmed." "As a freshmen, I got lost in the shuffle, and I wasn't aware ofall the opportunities that Western has to offer," Peters said. Peters, who has attended Western for three years, served on the RHA for two years. She has traveled throughout the United States to student-lifeconferences to bring back programs that could be implemented at Western. Vice president forBusiness Operations By Ernesto Cardenas THE WESTERN FRONT Believe it or not, Michelle Youseyloves' facilities and service meetings. As Student Support secretary for the Associated StudentsBoard of Directors, she has taken minutes at council meetings all year. Those minutes add up tohours of experience, making her a shoo-in for the position of Associated Students vice president ofBusiness and Operations; Yousey is running unopposed. She does not, however, feel this is a reasonto slack on her duties, she said. She attends all A.S. council meetings she can, so students will knowher face. "I'm here for the students," Yousey said. "I want to encourage them to come to me with anycomments or concerns they have." Student involvement is where Yousey plans to make the biggestdifference. In a variety of issues, Yousey said she will work to ensure student voices are heard. Youseywill concentrate on three main issues: Viking Union renovation, the Student Co-op Bookstore and theupcoming Marriott contract re-negotiations. Yousey said she wants to maintain student input in theViking Union r e n o v a t i o n process. She also plans to act as a m e d i a t o r between thevendors at Vendors' Michelle Yousey Row and the Viking Union administration. "The vendors are abig part of our campus," Yousey said. "I want to make sure their voices are heard during the renovationprocess." Yousey said she wants to increase student spending at the bookstore, which she said haslost business in recent years. Yousey said students don't realize money they spend at the Coopsupports A.S. services for students. Yousey may help organize a committee to decide if Western"Different issues rise and fall every year, and it's hard to anticipate what will come up," said AmySummers, the current vice president for Student Life.

Peters will win the election unless a write-in candidate receives more than 50percent of the vote, said Jon Hildahl, A.S. elections coordinator. will renew Marriott's contract or look for other food service providers. "I want other people beyond the seven committee members to be heard,"Yousey said. "It's the freshmen and sophomores that are living on campus that will be affected most." Yousey, a business major, is involved with the Publicity Center Task Force and the Inn UniversityMinistries as a care-group leader. She was a Viking cheerleader fall and winter quarters this year.

Western students donated $12,800 to the WSL in the 1997- 98 school year,WSL Vice Chair Erin Smith said. Western, Eastern Washington University, Central WashingtonUniversity, Washington State University and the University of Washington donated $52,000 to the WSLin the 1997-98 school year, an amount that decreased by $14,000 from the year before. As a result, theWSL couldn't afford to keep its executive director and was understaffed. "We can't expect future liaisons to work 14 hours a day, six days a week, and only get paid for 20 hours a week," Salomon said.Where the money goes: Donation money is distributed to each university WSL chapter to fund operation costs, student . government and liaison salaries. What the WSL does: The WSL has worked toincrease financial aid and stop tuition increases. The WSL also helped to stop a 10-percent tuitionincrease in Washington schools, Salomon said. He said the state Legislature recently proposeduniversities have local control of 40 percent on tuition increases during two years for graduate studentsand 10 percent over two years for non-resident undergrads. "Local control means the option for theregents to raise tuition," Salomon said. "Whatever percent that option is, is the maximum the schoolcould raise it." If students vote yes on the WSL initiative, Western will give $60,000 to the WSL. Thismoney would go to fund the WSL, re-hire a full-time executive director in Olympia and pay for liaisonsand campus organizers. Smith said by automatically charging the $2 fee to students, the WSL will have a guaranteed amount of money each year. This will help the WSL plan ahead more efficiently. on^^^^S^^M^^^^^MM I^JBBlllBlllli^B^^BB^HlIB â€¢ I Compiled by Remy Kissel ---------- Western Front - 1999 April 23 - Page 11 ---------- 11 â€¢ The Western Front SPORTS NCAA II Recreation April 23,1999 Women golfers swing a victory in final match By Lisa Curdy THE WESTERN FRONT Western's women's golf team finished itsseason with a default win against Green River Community College and Saint Martin's College at thesixth-annual Viking Invitational, which it hosted at the North Bellingham Golf Course.

Barton led the team, finishing with a 20-over-par 164. "I was trying to play my best," Barton said. "I was kind of surprised; I played better when it was raining."

Chestnut Men advanceto regionals Free-swinging freshman Bo Stephan leads team By Chris Blake THE WESTERN FRONTWestern's men's golf team used typical Washington weather and a home course advantage to takesecond at the NCAA Division II District 8 qualifying tournament Tuesday at the Bellingham Golf andCountry Club. Western shot' a final round 300 to finish the tournament at 901, four strokes behind first-place Cal State Stanislaus. The performance vaulted Western over Cal State San Bernardino to give the Vikings one of four berths in the West Regional May 3 to 5 in Phoenix. "The number-one objective wasachieved," Western coach Steve Card said. "That's what I'm happy about." Western used Monday's rain to ease into third place after two rounds and take an early lead on many of the schools from Californiaand Hawaii. Some of the competitors complained about the weather. "The weather yesterday kind ofsucked, but it was nice today," said Brandon Aoki, University of Hawaii-Hilo golfer. The rain made thegreens fast, the way Western likes them, senior Joel Skarbo said. "These teams aren't used to therain," junior Craig Welty said. "We play in it everyday." "Western had a huge advantage because we're not used to playing on greens like these," said Arnaud LaBorde, Cal State San Bernardino golfer. Card, however, doesn't buy that argument. "Everyone might have thought it, but with the level of play theseteams play at I don't think it made a difference," Card said. What did make a difference for Western was the play of freshman Bo Stephan and red-shirt freshman Jamie Kim. Stephan tied for fourth with a 223,five strokes behind leader Kamron Rahimzadeh of Chico State University. "Bo Stephan really stepped itup this week," Welty said. "He came on strong in the end of the season for us." Kim shot a final round74 to Chris Goodenow/The Western Front Western junior Craig Welty escapes from a bunker on hole 15 Tuesday at the NCAA Division II qualifying tournament. finish at 229. "Jamie is starting to show what hecan do," Skarbo said. Increased production from the bottom of Western's lineup is key to Western'ssuccess, Card said. "That's taking the pressure off Joel and Craig to perform at such a high level," hesaid. "It was the missing link we needed.". After Monday's rounds it looked as if Skarbo would be allWestern needed. He was tied for the lead at 145. A two-stroke penalty and average play, however, ledto a final round of 80, the lowest on the team. He still managed to finish at 225. "It was just a roughday," Skarbo said. "I didn't play patiently at all." Luckily for Western, the rest of the team was ready topick up the slack. Along with Stephan and Kim, Welty shot a final round 76 to finish at 228 and juniorJohn Stehlik shot a 76 to finish at 232. Western will prepare for the West Regional and a shot at theNational' Tournament. Welty said the strength of Western's district has prepared them for the regionalcompetition. "If we play the way we're capable of, we'll make it to nationals," Welty said.

Trails beginning to thaw Despitelingering snows, hikers hit the wilderness By Soren Velice THE WESTERN FRONT The recent days ofspring weather brought with them a reminder for Western's outdoor enthusiasts: Hiking season is here."Right now you pretty much have to stay low because of all the snow" up high," said Brent Molsberry ofWestern's Outdoor Center. "Larrabee's got great hiking right now." Eli Warren, a Mount Baker rangerdistrict information assistant, agreed with Molsberry. "In a normal year â€” whatever that is â€” highelevations are snow-free by early July," Warren said. "This year, it might be late July or early August."Warren added that trails are ready to hike near the North Cascades National Park Visitor's Center,including the River Loop, Rock Shelter and Sterling-Monroe trails, Trail of the Cedars and Ladder CreekFalls. In the forest-service land near Baker Lake, Warren said good hiking trails include Baker Lake,Baker River and Shadow of the Sentinals, although the first two probably have some snow on their upperend. He said the Horseshoe Bend trail off the Mount Baker Highway is probably snow-free. JesseGriffen, maintenance coordinator for Samish Park â€” and trails coordinator for 'Iri a normal year ... highelevations are snow-free by early July. This year, it might he late July or early August.' Eli WarrenMount Baker Ranger District Squires, Chuckanut Mountain and Samish parks â€” said some off-season regulars are hiking Samish Park, but most crowds appear after Memorial Day. He said parking for thepark's beaches and trails can be a hassle, but higher trails are usually easy to find parking for.Warren said when all the snow in higher elevations melts, a glut of insects, especially mosquitoes, will swarm the area. Warren added that routine trail maintenance may be delayed due to all the snow. AtSamish Park, trail improvements are already underway. "We're currently renovating our upper trailsystem," Griffen said. "We're hoping to connect to Pine and Cedar lakes." He added that work is inprogress to make some trails less steep and more equestrian-and bicycle-friendly. Molsberry said hikers should remember the weather can get tricky this time of year and to be nice to their feet. 'Take care ofyour feet," he said. "Don't expect to go on a five-day backpacking trip on new boots. Your feet'll getblistered." Western's Outdoor Center has two backpacking excursions coming up. The first is a dayhike May 1 at Mount Blanchard for $5. The second is a backpacking trip May 8 and 9 to. Elwa HotSprings for $38. A mountain-oriented first-aid course is scheduled 6 to 10 p.m. May 11 and 13, and allday May 15 and 16. The cost is $100. For more information, contact the Outdoor Center. Skarbo keepsball in short grass By Chris Blake THE WESTERN FRONT In a sport known as that of the thinkingman, solitude can be found in 18 holes. "I like the individual aspect of it," said Joel Skarbo, captain ofWestern's men's golf team. "I can go out and work on my own game." Ever since he was introduced togolf his sophomore year of high school, Skarbo has seized every opportunity to improve his game. "Ihad a little success right gt;away and just loved it," Skarbo said. "I've been playing almost every daysince." Early on, he played in junior and amateur tournaments in the Seattle area. After high schoolgraduation, Skarbo enrolled at the University of Washington and tried out for the golf team three times inhis two years there. Each time he fell short. "At the time I just wasn't good enough," he said. He saidhe was good enough, however, to play golf at Green River Community College. He used his time there to hone his skills and catch the eyes of college coaches. Western coach Steve Card's eyes weredazzled. He contacted Skarbo and asked him to play for Western, Skarbo said. "That was reallyexciting to get a call from a college coach," Skarbo said. Ignoring a similar offer from Washington StateUniversity, Skarbo became a Viking winter quarter 1998. In his first season at Western, Skarbo finishedamong the top 15 players at nationals and was named an NAIA Ail-American. "That was a real treat," he said. "I just barely made it." Instead of relishing in his success, Western's switch to NCAA Division II competition forced Skarbo to improve his game once again. "The competition is definitely deeper," hesaid.. "It's been kind of a struggle." Competitors might be wondering who it has been a struggle for.It certainly can't be Skarbo. He won two tournaments this season, finished third in another and postedsix sub-70 rounds along the way. Card said he can count the number of bad rounds Skarbo had onone hand. "It's his maturity on the course that separates him from the typical college player," Card said. "He can put the bad day behind him and completely turn things around." While Skarbo may be betterthan the typical college player, one of his teammates has provided plenty of competition. Junior CraigWelty has a slightly better stroke average than Skarbo and consistently challenges him for tournamenttitles. Skarbo and Welty have finished one and two in a tournament twice this season. "It's a friendlyrivalry," Welty said. Skarbo agrees. "We like to joke about it â€” talk trash about it," he said.

"It's great to have him to compete with â€” as long as I look at the score after the tournament,not during it." he said. Skarbo is getting ready for the West Regionals in May and possibly nationals asa grand finale to his collegiate career, he said. He will graduate this summer, but said he plans to tryhis hand at the professional ranks next. "Ultimately, I want to play for a living," he said. "That's whatgets me going each year." He said he plans to play in the mini tours and eventually qualify for the Nike Tour. In the fall of 2000, he wants to attend the PGA Tour Qualifying School, he said. The entrance feeis approximately $4,000, and that guarantees him nothing but a shot at the tour. "Pro golf is for peoplewho want to devote all their time to it," Skarbo said. "I've got a lot to learn about it." ---------- Western Front - 1999 April 23 - Page 13 ---------- April 23,1999 Sports The Western Front Â«13 From out of nowhere . , M$$sÂ£ Chris Goodenow/ TheWestern Front Tailback Giorgio Usai, star of Western's recruiting class.

Such is the case for Western'slatest football recruit, tailback Giorgio Usai. Twice rejected by Western recruiters, Usai has finallysigned to play for the Vikings.

Usai's total is second only to the 2,628 yards Oklahoma State and NFLgreat Barry Sanders netted in 1988. After his senior year at Spokane's Central Valley High School,where he won the Class AAA rushing title, Usai wanted to attend Western. "Western had no interest inme at that time," Usai said.

"That one coach pissed me off," Usai said. "I said, T don't understand, I led the state in rushing and you guys aren't going to recruit me at all?'" Western wasn't, but Usai had other options. Hechose to walk on at the University of Idaho instead. He redshirted at Idaho, but left after one semesterwhen he realized his playing time would be limited. "I just really wasn't pleased with the school ingeneral," Usai said. "I figured, why pay for something you're not excited about?" He endured anotheruneventful quarter at Spokane Community College before leaving for the fertile football train-, inggrounds of the California junior college system. "All the guys that should be in the Pac-10 but don't havethe grades are down there," Usai said. His first season at Yuba was ruined by a torn hamstring. Heplayed in only five games, but still managed to rush for 670 yards. After the season, Usai wasinterested in transferring to â€¢ Western and once again was in contact with Western's coaches. ButWestern stopped returning his calls â€” he was rejected a second time. By his second year, Usai saidhe was ready for a breakout season. He and his teammates were intent to lead Yuba to its firstwinning season in 14 years. As the .season continued, Yuba kept posting wins and Usai kept runningthrough defenders, though he and his teammates were still shrouded in obscurity. "People were justwaiting for us to lose," Usai said. "They thought it was a fluke each game." By the end of his recordseason, Usai finally received recruiting attention from schools throughout the country. One of thoseschools was Western. They called and asked him if he was mad, Usai said. He told them he didn'tappreciate the way he had been treated, but was still interested. "Looking back, he's probably aplayer we should have recruited," said Rob Smith, Western's head coach.. "All I needed to forgetabout that was for them to say, 'Hey we want you now and whatever happened before was different,"'Usai said. And things were different. Usai said he didn't want to move across the country or be anothercog in the machine at some football powerhouse. "I wasn't looking to just be on the team," Usai said. "Iwanted to go where I had a real chance to be an impact guy and play. Here that opportunity to play isthere." "We expect him to come in and make a significant impact," Smith agreed. The doubters,however, will always be a motivating factor for Usai. "I always keep all that stuff in the back of my mind," Usai said. "I just want to prove what I can do." tw^ Time to Get Growing!

Existence on Earth was full of frustrations and anguish for many Americans Tuesday. Theviolent and drawn-out high school shooting in Columbine Colov threw some people for a loop and devested others. A somber President Clinton, already bearing the weight of his Kosovo project and following theorders of his advisers, struggled to console parents, teachers and students involved in the grislyshootings. The president, "profoundly shocked and saddened," explained these incidents are hard tounderstand. As usual, Clinton offered the public just enough explanation to chew on â€” but fell short ofsatisfying its hunger for answers. "Perhaps we may never fully understand it," he said Wednesday. "St.Paul reminds us that we all see things in this life through a glass darkly â€” that we only partlyunderstand what is happening." If Clinton is so concerned about our level of understanding, why is heconstantly deceptive and evasive? While Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon explains the slaughter ofKosovar refugees with terms such as "collateral damage" and "imperfect science" Clinton tries to satiatehis citizens with terms such as "profound sadness," "shock" and "grief." The president offers onlydescriptive terms while the public needs a plan of action. Clearly it is more than "sad" when publicschools are plagued with maniacal murder sprees by unpopular white adolescent males. "Perhaps nowAmericans will wake up to the dimensions of this challenge," Clinton droned on. What about the"dimensions of the challenge" that African American students encounter? A handful of whites are gunneddown by maniacs and the papers and Internet are flooded with coverage. How about the hundreds ofAfrican American students gunned down monthly in the United States? Are they worth coverage? Do they make the president profoundly sad? Clinton finally offered some concrete, sound advice at the end of his speech. "We do know that we must do more to reach our children and teach them to express their angerand to resolve their conflicts with words and not weapons." Oops.

Deadly habit continues Whilesmoking is involved in one in five American deaths, cigarettes keep selling Carrie Crystal Van DrielCOMMENTARY Why do people choose to smoke? It must be the yellowing of the teeth and fingers bytar that appeals to them, or the feeling of their lungs closing up more and more as the chemicals bind,turning their lungs blacker and blacker with every drag. Smokers may have money to spare. Maybethrowing away $4 on 20 death sticks seems like pocket change to them. Or are smokers not educatedon the health hazards smoking causes them and those around them? Smoking causes one out of every five deaths in the United States and kills 3 million people worldwide each year, according to Listenmagazine. The death certificate does not read "smoker" or "second-hand smoker." The cause of death is listed as lung cancer, stroke, heart disease or sudden infant death syndrome. Smoking causeswrinkles, smaller babies â€” if a mother smokes during pregnancy â€” and cataracts due to the smokeentering the eyes. The government doesn't seem The death certificate does not read "smoker" or"secondhand smoker." The cause of death is listed as lung cancer, stroke, heart disease or suddeninfant death syndrome.' to be dping much to regulate these chemicals. . Since the 1960s, more than 50 patents have . been discovered by the smoking industry to.cut the levels of toxic chemicals incigarettes, yet none have been used, according to a study by New Scientist magazine. These chemicals not only cause health risks, but they also cause chemical dependency. Cigarette tobacco is made ofmore than 4,700 compounds, 43 of which are known to cause cancer, according to Listen Magazine.Even with all these health risks, smokers still seem to find excuses to continue smoking. "It's a goodstress reliever," some say, or "I only do it when I'm drinking." Yet other smokers say, "I picked up thehabit when I was younger and can't seem to quit," or "I do it out of boredom." Are these reasonsjustified? Maybe they are if someone wants to live out a slow and painful death while inflicting the samehealth risks upon those around them. Smokers need to realize the effects of smoking and take them toheart, before the smoke goes to their lungs causing death. BffiBiBH^fci^fel Front coverage of theassault lacked feeling Letter to the Editor: The token acknowledgement in recent editions of the"alleged" rape, the follow-up forum and now the events of the Women's Center is wretchedly pathetic.Did anyone from the Front speak with students after the forum, for their responses? Obviously something has happened grave enough to warrant public discussion (of sorts) and judging from students'^reactionsâ€”as recorded in the Bellingham Heraldâ€”something, is seriously wrong. I would prod TheFront to defy apathy by taking a risk to talk about rape as the social plague that it is; to continue writingarticles on local resources (like the Whatcom Crisis Center), and to not marginalize women as victims of sexual assault then leave them there. Has anyone asked why men are silent on this issue? More oftenthan not, rapists are not the weird, slimy perverts who lurk in shadows, yet that is the implied imagegiven. Rape is a specific, violent crime that sears a woman's soul. That goes beyond safety.

In his third than two days,Clinton spoke of the need for parents to tell their children that violence in any form is wrong.

How will parents explain to their kids the difference between â€¢â€¢v "good" violence, such as the bombs in Belgrade, and "bad" violence such as theshootings in Littleton?

Why does NATO draw out conflict? Janis Yi COMMENTARY President Clinton'sdecision not to send U.S. ground troops into Kosovo and Yugoslavia has thousands of American-Albanians volunteering to return to their homeland and fight. For these volunteers, this is not amission of mercy, but a mission to preserve their people and traditions. The United States is fighting ahalf-hearted battle. Why are we only sending a portion of our military forces when we have the trainingand power to end the crisis, while thousands of Albanians with little to no military training are flyinginto Tirana, Albania to end the exodus. The volunteers will receive brief training on how to cross themountainous border â€” sprinkled with land mines â€” to join the Kosovo Liberation Army. This battle ismore meaningful for the volunteers. The faces of refugees we constantly see on the cover of everynational newspaper tug at the hearts of many American-Albanians in a way unimaginable to millions of Americans. Whether or not this will resolve the issue, it's a step in putting an 'The United Statesneeds to be more aggressive in ending this crisis, whether it takes ground troops or more militarypower.' end to the crisis in Kosovo. Why drag this out? If, in fact, ethnic cleansing is taking place, whyare we procrastinating as more people are dying? If the air strikes by the United States were hittingtheir targets then thousands of inadequately trained volunteers would not have to fight on the ground. The cruise missiles are launched from hundreds of miles away, while the volunteers look into the eyes ofthe soldiers who have killed their families and memories. The KLA is positioned along the Yugoslav-Albanian border. The volunteers will join the 2,000 to 3,000 ethnic Albanians already there from theUnited States and Europe to fight Serb forces in Kosovo. The United States needs to be moreaggressive in ending this crisis, whether it takes ground troops or more military power. If sending U.S.troops into Kosovo will end this crisis and save the lives of thousands of Albanians and volunteers, wemust send them and finish the mission of saving lives. Prevention requires actionâ€”not finger pointingChristie Shepard COMMENTARY Wednesday's Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, Colo.,grabbed headlines all .day long. Sucha situation raises the question â€” Why? What prompts, kids to do this? Parents and administrators must be aware of students' problems, and be willing to get them help. Children must be held responsible, but others must attempt to help when it is obvious these kids aretroubled. Wednesday morning was like any other day at Columbine High School; classes began, friendsand students met for lunch period. Then the unexpected happened â€” students armed with gunsopened fire â€” students who walked the same halls with everyone else day after day. In ColumbineHigh School the suspects may have belonged to a student group known as the "Trenchcoat Mafia."Fellow students told news reporters they knew of the group and its fascination with war. One studenteven claimed the students had brought fake guns to school previously. The question then arises, didanyone do anything to help these students who were known as outcasts? In past school shootings,warning signs of looming trouble were apparent. In Springfield, Ore., Kip Kinkel shot his parents todeafh and killed two classmates at Thurston High School. According to an article in the Feb. 17 issue of the Seattle limes, Kinkel was expelled from school the previous day for having a stolen gun in hislocker. He was also known for torturing animals and making bombs. When these signs first becameprevalent, did anyone try to find out what the problem was? When police searched the Kinkel houseafter discovering Kip's dead parents, they found bombs, ammunition and hunting magazines. Hadsomeone stepped in early in his childhood, the horrific events at Thurston may have been prevented.What is a solution to stopping school shootings? No easy answer can be named, but preventativemeasures can be taken. Guns must be kept away from children, and people must speak up and helpstudents who show signs of being troubled. When children display such signs of maliciousness andhate, getting help quickly may be the way to prevent tragedies such as the one at Columbine HighSchool. â€¢â€¢â€¢IliiilBBiiliMllil WESTERN FRONT CLASSIFIEDS ROWAN GROVE CONDO NOWTAKING SUMMER / FALL RESERVATIONS.

The Western Front January 26,1990 Volume 82, Number 4 Western Washington University pleaserecycle Demonstrators cleanse flags in protest of war By Linda Dahlstrom staff reporter "No morebombs, no more war, U.S. out of El Salvador," chanted protesters, hoping to send a message toCongress by washing flags and chaining themselves to the doors of the Federal Building as Congressreconvened on Tuesday morning. "We're here to tell them it's time for a change. Let's take this moneybuying death in Central America and use it to support life," said Carol Dunavin. "Our best hopes andbrightest dreams lie dead with bullets paid for by U.S. taxes." The United States provides $1.5 milliondollars of aid each day, enabling the government of El Salvador to wage a 10-year civil war in which70,000 to 74,000 civilians have been killed and 7,000 disappeared, according to El Rescate HumanRights Department in Los Angeles. Protesters washed 11 flags and hung them on a clothesline to dry,symbolizing the need for the U.S. to cleanse itself of the inhumanity and injustice it financially supportsin Central American countries. "Our flag can no longer be flown with dignity. It is stained deeply andbloodied with the blood of 72,000 Salvadorans," Dunavin said. "We wash the flag as a vision that policies will change and we will no longer be involved in a dirty war." Shirley Osterhaus, of the Shalom Center,said the American flag is a symbol of oppression and exploitation for many people in CentralAmerica, not of passion and freedom. "The U.S. government is heavily invested in a war against the poor. (U.S. aid supports) drug trafficking, rigging elections and a disinformation campaign," she said. "Acountry that exports oppression will one day release oppression against itself," Osterhaus said. After the flag washing, some of the protesters chained themselves to the doors of the Federal Building. Policearrested eight people in an attempt to clear one of the side doors, and cut the chains off of all theprotesters, who then sat or stood in front of the doors. Darcy Utterback, Peace Resource CenterCoordinator, said one of the protest's goals was See Protest on page 2 David RubertTThe Western Front Patricia Sage was one of eight protesters arrested during a demostration calling for the end to U.S.funded death squads in Central America. Court case steals attention of flag-wash The protest on Tuesday happened to coincide with jury selection for the Earl Shriner case â€” the man charged with mutilatinga Tacoma boy. The organizers of the protest did not know jury selection for the Shriner case would betaking place on the day of the protest. "None of the organizers knew about it," said Steve Hill, one of theorganizers of the demonstration. "I didn't know about it until I saw the car pull up and him (Shriner) getout. They (police) decided the day before to move (the case) to the Federal Building. They knew we werehaving the protest, they could've notified us ahead of "time to coordinate it," Hill said. "This confusionis now taking attention away from the main issue of El Salvador and Central America." Osterhausadded emphatically "we had absolutely no idea (that Shriner would be there). Our action was a very clearstatement about U.S. involvement in dirty wars." Utterback said the protest obviously had nothing to dowith the Shriner case. Nancy Welch and Lucy Colvin blocked one of the entrances to the Federal Building during the Jan. 23 protest against U.S. policies in Central America. Films cause controversy By VickiStevens staff reporter Heavy breathing is associated with a lot of things, and this time a few people arefairly hot and bothered about a March film series entitled Heavy Breathing Week. The AssociatedStudents Sexual Minorities Center and the AS Women's Center are opposed to several aspects of Heavy Breathing Week. Topher Jerome, coordinator of the Sexual Minority Center, said his office has a problem primarily with the film to be shown March 15, entitled "The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant." Jeromehasn't seen the film, but he said the description on the poster advertising the film is detrimental to thecenter's goal of breaking stereotypes about homosexuals. The film description reads, "Fassbinder's (the director) most controversial work, the story deals with the shifting power relationship among threelesbians: A successful fashion designer, her slave girl and a sultry model who makes the master a slave. Accompanied with the music of Verdi and the Platters, these women act out a melodrama ofsadomasochistic passion." He said he doesn't know for sure if the film is negative toward lesbians, but,just from the film description, he says sadomasochism is being related to lesbians. Jerome said thisdescription reinforces negative attitudes people have about homosexuality. He said he supportspeople's right to see films of this nature, but it is a poor representation of lesbian relationships. "Weneed to focus on the fact there are very caring, loving, nurturing same-sex couples," he said. ChrisNinaud, co-coordinator of the AS Cross-Cul-tural Center, chose the international films for campus films,including the film Jerome is worried about. Ninaud defended his decision to show the film and welcomesdiscussion of the film. "I believe this film deals with a controversial subject," he said. "It deals withdomination in relationships, which everyone should learn something about. "I would be worried if therewasn't controversy about it," Ninaud said.

Under Guatemala's U.S. supported government over 150 death squad assassinations amonth. According to the International Red Cross, over 2,000 Panamanian civilians were killed in theU.S. invasion of Panama. Figures recently released by Salvadoran Security Forces show, in 1989alone, 60,446 people were captured. One fourth of the Salvadoran population has been displaced orare refugees, said El Rescate Human Rights Department. The United States actions against Nicaraguaand the funding of the Contras have been denounced as violations of international law by the UnitedNations, the World Court and the Organization of American States, according to a pamphlet publishedby the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, The Pledge of Resistance and Western'sPeace Resource Center. Those entering the Federal Building had to step on or over protesters to getpast; David Mortenson's leg was apparently deliberately stepped on by a heavy man as he entered forjury selection. Mortenson said the pain he felt being stepped on was insignificant in comparison to thesuffering in Central America. "There are human beings being killed and there's no point in it," he said."This Federal Building and our government supports it." The Bellingham protest was one of manyhappening across the nation as Congress reconvened. The crowd of protesters was a mixed group drawn together for a common cause. Among them were high school and college students, families with smallchildren, professors, laborers and the very young and old, Amanda Tremblay, 10, was at the protestwith her mother, Swan Eagle. Her mother was one of those blocking the doors to the Federal Buildingand prepared to be arrested. "I think it's really good what she's doing,"Tremblay said. "She's trying tosave people (in Central America). There are a lot of problems going on. You can't just ignore it." Oneof those arrested, Western senior Johnny Wilson, a political science major, said he sees the protestas a good way to draw attention to and make people think about those in Central America. "If I wasdoing the same thing in El Salvador, I probably wouldn't have even seen a police car. I could've been justshot at and killed. If I were arrested, chances are I'd be in a holding cell being tortured rather thansinging 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen.'" Those arrested were: Patricia Sage, Steve Powers, ErinMarden, Lucy Colvin, Kate Blake, Nancy Welch, Johnny Wilson and Judt Shrode. A country that exports oppression will one day release oppression against itself. Tremblay was also with her mother when shewas arrested for blocking the street in November's protest U.S.. policy in El Salvador. "It seemed scary . . . you hear about people being disappeared in El Salvador. When she got arrested, I didn't know if she'd come back," Tremblay said. Roger Grahn said he was protesting because about $3,000 dollars of his money goes to taxes used each year for buying guns that the Salvadoran government uses against its people. "My tax dollars support that. I can't deal with it," Grahn said. Jo Taber pointed out that thecurrent situation with the U.S. supporting a civil war in El Salvador is reminiscent of Vietnam. "(Thedifference) in El Salvador and Vietnam is now we don't send soldiers, we pay the government to kill theirown people. Our tax dollars murder children, babies and grandparents," Jo Taber said. "The people inCentral America are doing everything they can. It's up to the people in the U.S. to do everything wecan to stop U.S. intervention. The people of Central America are really counting on us for that," LisaPetkc said. Breathe Continued from page 1 Blake said the description of the Fassbinder filmperpetuates the stereotype of homosexuality as weird and perverse. "What about the people who justread the film description and don't see the play?" she asked. "It just plays into stereotypes." If thepurpose of the film was to show dominance in relationships, a heterosexual couple would have been abetter teaching tool because it would cause less damage to the image of homosexuals, Blake said.Blake also is opposed to the timing of Heavy Breathing Week because the films will be shown the weekbefore finals. She says there won't be enough time for adequate campus discussion of the subject matter because the films will be forgotten during spring break. She said in order for the films to beeducational, they should be shown earlier in the quarter to allow for discussion. Blake also questionedwhether or not it is necessary to show pornography.

Many members of the band are students or graduates of Western, most of whom beganin Western's music department. Many Dread regulars showed support for the band during their largestand best-liked performance at Bumbershoot 1989. "It was the biggest gig we played where we saw somany Bellingham regulars," Hendow said. As a result of performing at Bumbershoot, the bands firstsingle "Military Man" appeared on the compilation CD "Best of the Northwest," which also includessongs from various blues and jazz artists and the Defenders. "In the last year and a half, we've gottenso popular, we've become Bellingham's little darling," Hendow said. "It's really a nice thing for us ...but I don't know if any of us aspire to mega-super stardom." However, Hendow did not question theband's potential for becoming a college band like the Crazy 8's, touring on school circuits. The Dread's first album, "One Look at You," has helped to finance and produce its new single and upcomingalbum, which is due out in the late spring of this year. "It's a big money pit. Beer gets dumped on yourfavorite guitar or on your amp, stuff gets broken, you need money for transportation. You have to eat andyou have to sleep somewhere," Hendow said. "We end up making the same amount of money as wespend trying to make new recordings," he said. Long, grueling practices, performing feverishly ill, orplaying with a sprained finger are only a few of the hardships the band has had to face. "It's a lot of workto rehearse all week long and play for five hours straight, whether you want to or not," Turpin said."Sometimes you just don't want to play." Despite difficult playing conditions, the underlying factorswhich have kept the band together for so long are the strong and constant friendship between themembers and their love of music. "It's kind of like having an extended family," Hendow said. "I spendmore time with the band than I ever spent with a girlfriend or a job or on my own homework. It's become a big commitment of time, but it's still fun." Members of The Almighty Dread are trumpet player,percussionist and backing vocals Dave Cole, drummer Dalton Davis, bass player and backing vocalsGary Haden, trombone player and percussionist Phil Helms, guitarist and backing vocals Hendow, sax and flute player Phil Nakano, lead vocalist Andy Oliver and key-board player Turpin. The Almighty Dread will be performing Jan. 23 and 24 at the Backstage Tavern and at Parkers in Seattle.

The current exhibit is no exception. The show, called The Fifth Floor, is a collaboration ofnine different artists using different mediums. "I really like to see group art like this," gallery spectatorTheresa Wingert said. "This show has special meaning to me because I saw it all before it wasdisplayed." Two items in the exhibit standout. The first, a large blue object called "A remodeling of thebridal suite," is displayed against the south wall. Two blue lights illuminate the object giving the wholepiece an eerie fluorescent shine. It portrays a ladder with an oar leaning against it and a horse jumpingover the bottom rung. The other portion consists of a large building with different objects surrounding it. The second one in the blue series is the exhibit most people come to see. It is called "The Angel andthe Hartebeast." A small child with horns sprouting from its eyes is portrayed hanging from a cross.Behind the child is some vile monster called the Hartebeast. "This is bizarre," one observer said. Mypersonal favorite exhibits were the steel sculptures by Bill Baber. He uses steel as his medium to sculpt scary or funny configurations. The first is called "We're All Held Hostage." It contains frighteninglooking steel pieces with spikes on top with a twisted inter-looping configuration in the shape of a mazein the middle. The second is a funny, unorganized home called "Our Home Is Not In Order." Inside thefeatured large, house structure is a montage of objects jumbled togetherin no apparent order orreason. While I don't know Baber's intended meaning in this piece, it could be representative ofunorganized, yet fun family life. His final sculpture is represented in the middle of the gallery. Theimpressive-looking chest armor called "Whale Guard: Armor for a Modern Hero," looks like it came rightout of ihe time of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. All of Baber's pieces represent a clear portrayal of the way the world is: violent, harsh and mean, yet happy, warm and family oriented. Thepaintings included in the â€¢ exhibition were mostly pastel-colored oils by Paul Young, Lucinda H.Green and others. Though the comment book in the gallery shows mostly positive feedback, a wholerange of opinions is represented. Many comments commended the exhibit's fantastic range andcreativity, while one person went so far as to compare it with the exhibit to the occult. The exhibit willrun until Feb. 2. Tyler Anderson/ The Western Front "A remodeling of the Bridal Suite," by artist CandyStreet, is one of the pieces displayed a the Viking Union art gallery.

By The Accent Editors Kurt and I have been busy answering the phones. Peoplehave been seeing President Mortimer everywhere. Some the readers of this fine publication have a hell of an imagination. Though some of the reports may seem incredible, others seem pretty boring, butall are true as they were relayed to us. We didn't make any of this shit up. Wednesday Jan. 17 Onecaller reported a possible Mortimer sighting at Stewart Anderson's Square Cow Fun Bar. The alleged Mort was wearing a green, red and blue Hawaiian shirt and dancing. We asked if he was a good dancer. "I don't know," answered the informant."He was just...out there. I think he was bummiri' cigarettes too." Friday, Jan. 19 A man driving by a house on Toledo Street said he saw a Mortimer drive his Saab 900into the garage. As Mortimer closed the garage door, the man said he was able to see the president's as he left the Saab.. Friday, Jan. 20 We received a letter from a man who said he saw two-inch tallcreature who introduced himself as "Ken." He said the life-form was wearing a non-descrip blue suit.The man stated he didn't know why Ken was on his bed, but believed it had something to do with amessage scrawled across his bathroom wall thatread,"Graffiti is a form of property defacement!" Sunday, Jan. 21 Mortimer was spotted in the First Presbyterian church. The man reporting the sightingsaid,"Mortimer and his wife came in and sat down and left when the service was overâ€” just like normalfolk." Tuesday, Jan. 23 We received three Mortimer sightings from people who said he was at thewomen's basketball game. He was said to be wearing a brown suit and was accompanied by a womanthe caller thought was Mortimer's wife One observer said he was making Arsenic^ Hall, "Whoops," yell.Post Script Kurt and I (and especially, we guess, Ken) image readers are growing weary of this MortReport business. So, hey, bribe us and we'll stop. We don' t have much money and this job doesn'tpay squat, so a couple of cases of good imported beer will probably keep us quiet for awhile. Thinkabout it.

Shortly after the Supreme Court said it was a right guaranteed to U.S. citizens, conservativepoliticians pushed a law through Congress making it illegal to burn the American flag. Apparently freedom only extends so far in America. Upper-class conservative mothers would like to put labels on recordsthey feel are too graphic for teens. Apparently parents and their children are lacking in the ability to make thoughtful decisions on their own. Right-wing religious fanatics picketed "The Last Temptation of Christ,"a movie which dared to portray the life of Christ in a manner contrary to their beliefs. Apparently theybelieve it too dangerous for people to entertain doubt about Jesus' lack of a sex-drive. Obviously they feelthe viewer is unable to say, "It's only a movie," if he or she is unhappy with the movie's ideas. Most of thefanatics didn't even see the movie in question. It only goes to show that the same silly conflicts willsurface perpetually. In March, Western's Heavy Breathing Week will feature three soft-porn movies. TheAS Sexual Minorities Center Coordinator Topher Jerome said the description of one of the films isdetrimental to the center's goal of breaking stereotypes about homosexuals. Jerome said if the purposeof the film was to show dominance in a relationships, a heterosexual couple would be a better teaching tool because it would cause less damage to the image of homosexuals. We have a couple of problemswith Jerome's line of thinking. First, he hasn't even seen the film. This is the kind of misdirected effortwhich really impairs a free society. Hunters have a motto Jerome should consider: "Be sure of yourtarget." No matter how valid his arguments, Jerome's case is greatly weakened by his admittedignorance. Second, and just as important, we cannot walk on eggshells around issues concerning sexual minorities. While acceptance of gay and lesbian couples is something society should work towards, itisn't going to happen if we hide in a closet. People that want to censor films, books, records and burningthe flag don't think the masses are intelligent enough to make independent decisions and distinctions.They think people should be spoon-fed the information they receive. The desire for censorship is amanifestation of prejudices within ourselves â€” the same sort of prejudices we try to combat. TimothyK.

Americans, particularly kids, have good reason to be disappointed withtheir idols. What a letdown when a baseball legend gambles on his team. What a joke when the winner of a beauty pageant shows up in a back issue of Playboy. And what a moral blow to our nation when afrontiersman in minority leadership goes up in a cloud of narcotics. Hey big shots! This just isn't cool.So, when the chips are down and the celebrities are too, where do we turn for our role models? What kind of hero is left? I think I found some answers in the Bellingham International Airport this winter.Standing in baggage claims, nearly comatose with post-flight nausea, I gained consciousness enough tonote a group of well-dressed, rather tall men waiting nearby. Always on the look-out for suchcharacteristics, I watched them quietly mill around with other adults and among themselves. Two ofthem were playing a game with a little boy who obviously adored them. It finally occurred to me that theywere 'shooting hoop,' as they should be, since they were members of the Western men's basketball team returning from a winter break game. I continued watching the team and heard them joke with an airportattendant who handled our bags. The attendant knew each of these local heroes by name. Perhaps hehad memorized their statistics. Then I watched them play with the boy again, lifting him up to' dunk' andgiving him the necessary low version of a 'high five.' It may seem dweebish, but I was in awe. It was thesame feeling I experienced when an Associated Students board member helped me tack up posters,when a member of the women's volleyball team held open a door for just a second longer to let mepass or when I saw the professor of my sociology class pick up a napkin off the coffee shop floor. Thesewere local/campus 'important people' standing near me, participating in daily rites with the samecourtesy and method of any other fool. Definitely cool. The basketball players were personalities. Theyhad the means to screw up and, if they did so, the influence to create havoc. Just like the professor, thevolleyball player and lots of others. Yet they refused to abuse this. Recognizing their responsibility ascelebrities, they set an example. Recognizing their responsibility as people, they just plain behaved.There are real heroes left in the world. We know them because they do the right thing. Castration will notstop sexual violence Attitudes need castration not bodies M Julie Fancey staff reporter any men aregrabbing then-groins in sympathy over current legislation that calls for castration of sex offenders.This legislation and the outrage it stirs is off-target. They've missed the point. The so-called quick fix ofcastration offers no solution to sexual violence. Castration means the removal of the testicles only, notthe penis. This procedure may decrease sexual desire, but it guarantees nothing. It does not ensureimpotency or the inability to maintain an erection. This surgical procedure addresses the issue from asexual standpoint. Locking onto castration as a weapon against rape makes the assumption that rape isa crime of passion. Not so. It is a crime of violence. We are dealing with an issue of power, not a sexualevent. The sexual act is not what satisfies a rapist, it is the act of domination and control over anotherperson. What we need to do is get back on track about what leads to sexual violence. We need tocastrate attitudes that create an environment which excuses sexual violence against women. There isa feeling that these attitudes exist in someone else's backyard, not ours. It is in our backyard. In thepast month I have heard these comments from male students on campus: One student was constantlysaying: If a fat and ugly woman is being raped, she might as well lie back and enjoy it because it willprobably be her only chance of getting laid. Another student was joking about a woman he saw. Heencouraged his friend by saying: Rape her. She wants to be raped. These attitudes set up women forviolence. Rape is not a joke: Rape is not sex. Rape is violence. Nobody wants to be raped and nobody is lucky when they're raped. When a man is raped, do other men think it is a joke? Do they consider itsex? Do they consider the victim as being lucky or asking for it? Why is it different if the victim is awoman? Why should our attitudes about women end up harming them? Most women don't viewthemselves as weak, childish, sexual objects or property. Why should men view women in such anegative way? It's time to stop thinking that surgically removing an organ would solve sexual violence. It'stime to castrate the root of the problem â€” our attitudes. ---------- Western Front - 1990 January 26 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, January 26,1990 The Western Front 7 Â«** o^ WKM^^ VB'3 Letters * 300 words or less * mustbe typed, double space must include name, address and phone number for verification * address andphone numbers will not be printed 8 Buses to Campus each hour!

I understand that your news staff is considered to be the best college staff in the Pacific Northwest. Yet when I see articles with repeated use of offensive language, I must reservemy opinion about your greatness. The writers' frequent use of obscenities saddens me. When swearwords creep into your articles with regularity, everyone becomes desensitized to such language.Certainly, we all know these words. We learned them in the playground when we were in first grade.With maturity, one learns appropriate use of such language. As writers, you should be challenged toseek the precise word to fit the circumstances. As college students, you have the opportunity toexpand your vocabulary instead of limiting yourselves to the same old phrases. The gratuitous use ofvulgar terms does disservice to everyone. Too soon, such words become trite and ineffective. Over thepast several months, there have been hints regarding various persons' parentage, overt mention ofbodily functions, coarse references to birth control devices and altogether too much suggestivelanguage. One writer, attempting to describe a bodily function, used a totally incorrect term. Whetherthe malapropism was intentional, the reader will never know. The English language is far too rich anddescriptive to allow yourselves to be tied to a few well-worn adjectives. Why use such base languageto question the legitimacy of a person, when "spurious mountebank" will send the subject of yourwrath scurrying to the dictionary to find out what he or she is? Our teachers have taught us to speak toour audience on its own level. Surely it is our duty to raise their level of understanding, not crawling intothe playpen with them. We're not fools, we're all eager to learn â€” even the humblest of us.FWWÂ»â€”^wwmwwwwwwww'fWf^W"!â„¢^^ HWMffiRWWSWW!^^ We put faith in our reporters to uplift us even as they communicate. Robert Johnson Sophomore, Journalism Victimizers are also victims ofsociety Editor: Greetings. Oh yes indeed, our society is deeply sick. Repressive laws and a powerstructure made up largely of tyrannical, selfish, bigoted, unhealthy drunks and a commercial sectorhell-bent on terrorizing the people, dementing the children, dividing us into shallow minded castes andperpetuating and refining all of the traditional evil such as greed, murder, torture, bigotry, war andselfish exploitation of our planet and each other has manufactured monsters willing to commit massmurder, batter and rape adults and even children. Historically, its only more refined, not new. However, never before has the entire planet been contaminated. Its now pandemic. Are we, therefore, losing thewar due to the evidence of endless expansion of the evil? No, but we are approaching quickly thedecisive moment of truth. Those who thus victimize, are also victims. So long as we continue to try anddeal with the problems by punishing the individuals and forgetting the social mechanisms thatproduce them, we will fail and finally be overwhelmed. These creatures are direct products of thelawful, normal functions of our society. Society, the system, is responsible for the evil of its parts. Blind,cowardly, so-called government representatives want to castrate sexual offenders. Perhaps thesecreatures also condone amputation of the limbs of thieves, removal of the tongues of those who speakout against them, death camps for the homeless, enslavement of the poor, four and quartering in townsquares of blind, cowardly, so-called government representatives?

PERSONALS Sweetie- I LOVE YOU!! -Bunny Tell your Bunny or your Sweetieyou love them in the February 13 edition of The Western Front! ---------- Western Front - 1990 January 26 - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Western Front Sports Friday, January 26,1990 Women unstoppable By Micheal Flynn staffreporter The women's basketball team will attempt to continue their domination over opposing teams ina pair of important home games this weekend. Tonight the vistors are the second place Falcons ofSeattle Pacific University. SPU, 10-3 overall and 8-2 district, posted a 24-6 record last season andreached the district semifinals as well. Guard Jan Bolton, who leads the Falcons, is third in the districtwith a 19.8 scoring average. Becky Wiersma, the other half of the back court duo, leads the district inassists with a 6.5 average. Earlier in the season, when the two teams met in Seattle, Western came outon top 61-56. The Vikings hold a series edge of 32-2. Things won't get much easier for the Vikings asthey host the University of Puget Sound Loggers Saturday night. UPS is led by 5-foot-6 guard AnniePettigrew. She averages 16.3 points, 6.1 assists and 3.5 steals per game. The Vikings have won the last three meetings with UPS. The Vikings overcame a strong first half by a tough Simon Fraser team to beat SFU 88-75 Tuesday night in front of a record crowd of 1,465. The victory, the 24th in a row at CarverGym, moved the Vikings to 11-0 district, two games ahead of second place SFU. The Vikings are now18-1 into" the season. For much of the first half, the SFU Clan looked as if they would put a halt to theViking winning streak. Using a suffocating zone defense, the Clan stifled the Vikings inside and frustrated them into a number of early turnovers. On offense, SFU used quick, precision passing and deadlyoutside shooting to open up the Viking zone for wide-open shots. They also controlled the boards. WhenSFU center Michelle Hendry hit one of her two free-throws with 6:32 remaining, the Vikings foundthemselves down by nine points, 25-16. That was enough for the Vikings. They found their offense, madethe necessary changes on defense and pulled themselves back into the game. "We were just kind ofstanding around, letting them beat up on us," junior guard Erica Porter said. "Then we started figuring out what was going on and picked up the intensity," she said. The Vikings held SFU scoreless for the nextthree minutes while they whittled away at the lead. Western guard Kerri Browitt hit a 15-foot jumper from the right side. After a three-second violation on the Clan, Browitt hit an identical shot from the other sideof the floor. When center Cim Hanson hit a lay-in with just over a minute to go, SFU was in the lead byonly one point. Hanson hit a pair of free-throws with 2:51 left in the half to give Western a 28-27 lead. Alead they never relinquished. They went to the locker room leading 35-31. In the second half SFU hungtough, continuing to play tight defense and work the ball inside. Hendry scored 16 of her 25 game-leading points in the second half. -^ Hendry's inside strength and the outside shooting of guard Andrea Schnider kept the Clan in the game. But Western, led by Hanson's consistent inside play and a healthy balanceof outside shooting, was too much for the visitors. The game signaled the women's improving characteras the district playoffs draw nearer. But no hints of upcoming greatness satisfied the hope for successlike the brief play of forward Chris Garrison. Garrison, a 6-foot 2-inch sophomore who has been out with aknee injury for over a month, played for a mere three minutes. She dominated those three minutes. Noneof SFU's towering frontline could stop Garrison as she scored six straight points for Western beforeshe left the game. Garrison said it felt good to be back playing. "The knee felt pretty good tonight," shesaid. "I'm going through therapy right now and I should be fine for districts. It felt good to play." Twoweeks ago Western coach Lynda Goodrich reached the significant milestone of 400 career victories.Tuesday night Hanson reached one of her own. . When she hit a lay-in just over three minutes into thesecond half, Hanson became the eighth player in Western's history to score 1,000 career points.Though the game remained tight through the beginning of the second half, the comeback of the Vikings towards the end of the first half seemed to break SFU's confidence. The momentum of the run propelledthe Vikings to victory. Porter attributed the first half momentum shift to a switch in defensive scheme."Once we changed from a zone to a man we got going," she said. Hanson said she felt another key inthe Vikings late-first half run was a mental adjustment. "We weren't blocking out and we weren't playingstrong defense. She (Goodrich) told us to get in there and work harder on the boards," Hanson said. Shewas referring to a Western timeout just before the start of the first half run that gave the Vikings the lead. Western was led by Hanson and Browitt who had 20 points a piece. Forward Alayna Keppler chipped in16 points. The game was rather rough. A lot of pushing and elbow swinging took place by both teams atboth ends of the floor. "In games between the top teams, they (the referees) kind of let you play more,"Porter said. The blood on her jersey, from her elbow to her nose, was testimony to the physical play ofthe game. As the Vikings close in on the homecourt win record, perhaps a dismayed SFU fan was rightwhen he told a friend, "It figures. Nobody beats Western on their home court."

Dear Editor, "Are our prof's atheists, Christians or pagans?Let's do it up right and investigate the Collegian," said legislator Mike Barnhart. It looks likeMcCarthyism is in full swing on our campus. What has caused all of this? Here it is in a nutshell. Rev.Lyle Sellards, of the USCF house, untactfully and undemocratically ordered the students' ears, the press, to get out of the Faculty Speaks series. Here he is using our building, and ordering students around asif he were the controlling faction on campus. Then to add insult to injury Sellards asked the Union Boardto set up a policy as to the press's position at the meetings. He made it quite clear that if the UnionBoard didn't set a policy he would play Little Ceasar and pull out. The Union Board quickly cleared upthis matter by simply refusing to set a policy on open meetings. This pressed all the panic buttons sosomeone on the Legislature dreamed up the idea of investigating the Collegian. Boy, what a chance forprestige. Then at the Legislature meeting a snug group of anti- DeWitt MaCarthyites were appointed tohead a committee to investigate the Collegian. How do we know that the poll is not being skewed?What is the distribution method? My suggestion to the Legislature is to watch their actions a littlecloser, especially in the budget. It is tough on the student budget when money is handed out inÂ£15,000 chunks. My suggestion to the student is to elect a competent Legislature in the upcomingelections. Get individuals with different ideas, not a group of Forensic people. Why turn our legislatureinto an oratory discussion? Don Price Foul Language . . . Dear Editor: I am writing you this letterbecause I agree with you on the fact that if students are concerned and interested enough in theirnewspaper they should let the editor know about it. If the students are not satisfied with thenewspaper that represents their college, they should try and do something about it instead ofhollering their heads off with nobody listening. Page 2 You have been quoted as saying that your staffcan only do so much. This is certainly obvious! I have never had a journalism courseâ€”not even a highschool journalism course, but it is perfectly clear that since your writers are only capable of slammingstudents, faculty, organizations, and activities into the ground, it is most advisable to find a staffadequately talented to give the students a newspaper they would like to read, free of foul language and childish "opinions." This is not only my thought on the problem of having an inadequate newspaper,but there are others who feel the same way. I only hope that after reading this letter they will have thebackbone to tell you so] Very sincerely, Gail Bilodeau at Western. The committee to in-reaction whenmost anything about the made some rather There were opin-new editor should A Poll Is Biased DearEditor; All year there have been articles in the Collegian stating that the Legislature has done nothing.Well, I disagree with this; they did something last week. At the regular meeting some of the Legislatorsreported that several students had voiced their o p i n i o n s and that the Collegian was not exactlywhat they wanted in a college paper. One member said it was the format that students disliked; othersbluntly said that there was not enough news It happened that some of the Collegian staff, including theeditor and assistant editor, were at the meeting. They felt that no one had the right to tell them how torun t h e i r newspaper, that if someone wished to voice an opinion he could write a letter to the editor.They informed the Legislature that not one of the 2,500 students had done this. Animosities grew andthe arguments became personal. Hurt feelings exploded the issue into what could have been the major WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN conflict of the year President appointed a vestigate thestudents' students did not know situation. The editor unfounded accusations, ions expressed that a behired. Everything had happened quickly with no time spent on thinking the problem out or on decidingwhat the actual issue was. In a couple of days when tempers had subsided, the opposing sides gottogether and they now are no longer opposing each other, due to the magnanimity and intelligenceof both the accused and the accuser. It would have been very silly to fire the editor or to take a poll or todo nothing about the problem. No one has the right to tell an editor how to run his paper for when asituation of this type occurs you no longer have a free press and most people fear a suppressed orcorrupt press. A poll is usually too biased to accomplish its aims. I would like to see the newsreported as it actually happens; any situation should be clearly and factually explained; then all theopinion in the world can be stated, provided there is room. The manner in which the problem is newbeing solved is the best in my opinion. I agree with Mr. Morrisette on one point. Why just sit there andcomplain? Talk to the Legislators and write to the Collegian editor, John Troutner Lost in Paranoia . . . Dear Editor; If I were in your position and the Legislature threatened to dictate policy to me, I wouldrequest the College Board of Trustees to transfer all responsibility for the publication to the collegeadministration. It's pretty apparent to people outside the Legislative chambers that the group hasbecome fearful that the world is against it, that it has neglected any imaginative role in studentleadership, and that it has reverted to a childish tendency to protect itself from things that don't eventhreaten it. It appears to be lost in paranoia. In the college administration and faculty one can findintelligence, imagination, and a capability to cope with events realistically. These things apparently donot exist â€”or at least are momentarily lost in student government. Therefore it would only appear tobe wise to have responsibility in stable and capable hands. Ken Robertson February 19, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 3 ---------- Bruised Egoes Dear Legislators: Your members seem to have taken offense at the derogatoryremarks made in the Collegian about the inefficiency of the Legislature. In your last meeting,accusations were directed at the Editor accusing him and his staff of biased opinions, but what ifthese "biased opinions" are just and well founded? Then why should the Collegian be investigated? Itseems in order, that if the Legislature is inefficient, they should be the ones investigated, not theaccusers. Often groups try to divert the public's eye from the real problem. You as Legislators havecreated a problem in school finances. Your method of diversion is an attack on the Collegian. Thesemembers of the Legislature accuse the editor of hurting the morale of the school by presenting factsbefore the students. They call it bad taste if the Collegian editor, or his staff, hit at Legislators'weaknesses. With these thoughts in mind, two questions arise: first, should the Collegian hide thefacts from the readers; secondly, should the Collegian accept a middle of the road attitude and ignoreproblems brought to the attention of the Collegian? Should the Collegian "tread lightly" to avoid steppingon any toes, or has the Collegian the right to withhold articles to please a selected few? Mr. Barnharthas said that the Legislature cannot be a true representative of the students. I agree. But in this sameline of thinking, the Collegian is not a true representative of the student body. Then how, Mr. Barnhart, doyou expect the Collegian's article to please everyone? There are bound to be differences of opinion,within the student body, about any articles. If the Legislature does not feel that too many "egos" havebeen "bruised," then I suggest you express your retaliations in the Collegianâ€”and base your letters and articles on the value of your worth and your accomplishments as Legislators, and not try to shuffle yourown shortcomings off on to the Editor. Prove to the students that the Collegian's articles are wrong!David Colburn Collegian "Bigots" Dear Editor: After reading Budd Morisette's letter pertaining to theCollegian discussion held at the Legislature meeting of February 10, I felt compelled to present the other side of the story. I have never seen anything so misrepresented in print as was Morisette's letterconcerning that meeting. Why was the Collegian discussed at the meeting? Editor DeWitt continuallyreiterated that the Collegian was being in- February 19, 1960 vestigated because of the bruised egosof certain Legislators. All year long the Legislature has been charged with indifference and inactivity.This has been true a great deal of the time. Legislator Mike Barnhart, disgusted with the overuse ofeditorialism and lack of news, wanted to find out how other students felt about the Collegian. Barnhartquizzed some of the students and found that they, too, were disgusted with the Collegian. Because ofthe students' feelings, he felt that the Collegian should be discussed at a Legislature meeting. Isn't itthe job of the Legislators to represent the students? Ask DeWitt, Bob Stevenson, and other narrow-minded Collegian bigots if this is not what Barnhart is doing? Stevenson cries that "Freedom of thePress" is being infringed upon. Whereas most newspapers are owned by a few individuals, the Collegianis owned by the students. The students are the stockholders, so to speak, and it is to them that theCollegian should be responsible. If the students do not like the Collegian, isn't it their prerogative to sayso? And where else can they express their feelings if not through student government? I think it isrelevant to point out that of all the students at the meeting, the only ones who spoke in favor of theCollegian were editor DeWitt, managing editor Stevenson, faculty advisor Dr. Flora, Legislator LeoDodd, Dave Colburn, Ken Robertson, advisor Mr. Hansen and Morri-sette (the self-admitted clod). Isn'tthis a strong indication of how the students feel about the Collegian? I don't believe that the objection tothe Collegian is because of the format. They realize that the format allows for opinionated writing. Theyobject because that privilege has been entirely over-abused. They want more news and less opinion. Asa final thought, I will recall the words of one of the students who spoke out at the meeting. "TheCollegian is a representative of the College, and we of Western are partially judged because of it."Doug Simpson, Legislator.

JUNIOR PROM "Flambeau" Gay, Exotic Soft music, flowers, royalty, dancers whirling against afiery Parisienne backgroundâ€”it's gayâ€”it's exoticâ€”it's "Flambeau"! A Parisienne sidewalk cafe motif,enhanced by blossoming trees and a fiery red color scheme will be the scene of the second formaldance of the year, the Junior Prom. The secret is outâ€”but the occasion is yet to come. Yes, the exoticatmosphere of springtime in Paris will be here in the WWC Gym from 9-1 on Saturday, March 5. Oneof the five queen candidates will reign over the occasion. The elite five, Brenda Lindsley, Janice Pilik,Marlene Wilton, Sally Fugitt and Sharon Stewart were selected by popular vote last Tuesday at ajunior class meeting. Any one of them would make an exquisite queen, but only one will be chosen by a special ballot to be crowned as queen by junior class president Dick Canfield. Balloting for thequeen will be held the week of the prom. Music for the event will be provided by the Marty Simons Bandof Seattle. Already decorations are well underway, reports decorations chairman Sally Fugitt. She and her committee have been holding decorations workdays in which flower making is the vogue. Treeshave also been collected for the decorations. Miss Fugitt commented that in her opinion the prom "will have an extra nice flair this year with the Parisienne theme and the chosen color scheme." Theadmission price? No, it's not $50.00 per person, just $2.00 per couple. At that price everyone can enjoyan "evening in Paris."

I'm not a pragmatist." If two sentences could have summed up Dr. Keith Murray's view of himselfon the Faculty Speaks series last week, those words might have done the job. Speaking casually,laughing and responding quickly to students' questions, the history professor said he likes to talk toWestern studentsâ€”to their ancestors and offspring. "I'm Still Chiseling Away" Truth is absolute, notrelative," he stated. Man is like a blind man climbing a mountain. Every thousand years, it seems,some are born with their eyes open. Shelley may have had a revelation of truth, "but I'm still chiselingaway, bit by bit." Murray said he assumes all people have fundamental worth â€” "this is sometimesdifficult to do," but he believes in the idea of the value of man that comes from the Judo-Christiantradition. Then he answered questions. "I don't believe civilization will be extinguished by a third WorldWar. A lot of people may be lost, but not everything . . . "Almost certainly there will come a day whenthere will be no United States. I hope it won't happen during my time; then you can worry about it." Howdoes one become a well-rounded individual, he was asked. "Work Like a Hound-Dog" "At the risk ofbeing trite, I would say: don't neglect your P.E. course, social dancing classes or church activities.Get acquainted with the great ideas of the past. Pick what you want. Go after it, and work like a hound-dog or a rabbit on a rabbit trail. You won't get everything you want, but you'll be happier for trying." Howdo you find personal truth? How to Handle a Whelp . . . "How do you handle an obnoxious ninth-gradewhelp. I can't tell you; you'll have to learn by yourself." His commentary ranged from nonconformists(no one should be forced to learn; he should be given the op-porunity) to Omar Khayyam ("in my opinionhe was a nihilist"), to the gaining of personal satisfaction. "I write things for obscure publications.Nobody reads them but myself. I know if they stink, but personal satisfaction in writing something andDR. KEITH MURRAY "Work Like a Hound-Dog" knowing it was well done is most important." Garbage Men and Dead Bodies Stating he'd definitely have to leave at five because he had promised to take hiswife to town, he concluded with a comparison between Christian and Oriental culture. Garbage collectorsin China were subsidized by rich men, he said, to carry away men who would die on their doorsteps toassure themselves of a good burial. "The Oriental view of life is hardly philanthropic." As Dr. Murrayended his discussion at five to keep his promise to Mrs. Murray, he parted with one sentence of advice:"Keep your shirt on." o The Music Department will present a student recital at 10:00 a.m. in theAuditorium, Friday, February 26. PLAY "Farcial Story Unfolded" There was a shadow on the wallâ€”reflecting the spirit of action, leading mood changes, mirroring even the color and life of actions onactions. A Shadow Leads . . . This shadow of a baton led a cast through its paces last night asorchestra director, Bob Duvall, moved the performance of a sometimes-soft, often active andexhilerating musical accompaniment. The watching audience seemed to move, tooâ€”with laughter,smiles and chuckles as the farcial story unfolded. The auditorium reverberated laughter after TomAston's vaudeville-type soft-shoe and again during the scenes between John Schermerhorn and Aston.The eyes out front moved with Gladys McLean singing her role, with Martha Whitchurch, and were caught up in dance numbers soloed to a Latin rhythm by Lyn Hopkins and Dave Buff. Wild Passes, UnseenRhythms Leaps, wild passes and stage actions moving in farce-time seemed to merge the players andaudience, as behind the scenes, unseen rhythms were played out by Len Gargarello, stage manager;Mark Flanders, technical director; Dr. Gerald Cohen, choreographer; Judy Alexander, assistant director;and the master-mover, Dr. William Gregory. As the baton moved, catching small, quick splashes ofstagelight on its tip, the rhythms merged into a frantic complete pattern.

This year, onFebruary 27, Western will be host for the regional conference. Dr. Skeen, of Western's Department ofEducation, will be speaking within the conference's theme " S t u d e nt Teachingâ€”Past, Present, andFuture."

February 19, 1960 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 6 ---------- THE LEGISLATORS SPEAK A Frank Analysis of Student Government, by the people that run it. Isfaculty control imminent in the near future, or will the Legislature remain autonomous? "Let's PoolBiases" By LIZ SUNDSTROM Motions to 'suspend the editor or anything' were in order last week as the Legislature Chambers became the scene of this quarter's first great ASB debate. The staff has taken"too much license," according to Barnhart, often showing "poor taste" in articles. Barn-hart called theLegislature, Union Board, and WUS articles "inane and predigested" and urged last week's session ofthe ASB Legislature, to investigate Collegian policies. "The privilege to editorialize has been grosslyabused by this year's Collegian," These were the words of Mike Barnhart who feels that freedom of the press has been carried too far at Western and that the Collegian staff hasn't made enough distinctionbetween fact and opinion. Howard DeWitt, Editor of the Collegian, retorted that the Legislatureshould expect the newsmagazine to te opinionated. He maintained that the paper has alienated theLegislature through its unfavorable criticism asking, "Is the paper a threat to the Legislature, or arethese people who complain merely suffering from bruised egos?" Legislator Leo Dodd commented that the Legislature knew DeWitt intended to continue former editorial policy, yet they appointed him editor.Dodd believes the Legislature "owes the editor a little allegiance." Ken Robertson, former Collegianeditor, added, "People may not agree, may find it in bad taste, but they read the Collegian. TheLegislature doesn't want a school paper; it wants a public relations outlet." Advisor Flora reminded thegroup that several weeks ago it had picked DeWitt because it wanted to save money, ignoring his viewson editorial THE COMMITTEE TAKES A POLL It appeared difficult to judge the accuracy . Page 6WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN THE COVER: . DeWitt and Dodd talk it over policy. "Before wefire the editor, Flora implored, "let's pool our biases and agree on the paper's functions!" Jens Hansen,Collegian advisor, stated that he "keeps hands off the paper" maintaining that it would hs "silly" tocensure the Collegian. "Legislators have to be thick-skinned," said Hansen, "If the students reallyresent the Collegian attitude, why don't they write a letter to the Editor?" The Legislators took actionwhen ASB President Bob Gustavson, told the group that he had talked with dissatisfied students andEditor DeWitt, and agreed that news coverage has been accurate and opinionated. He asked for amotion, "to suspend the editor or anything you want." Mike Barnhart moved "an investigation be set upto look into the matter of the Collegian and ASB student's reactions thereof." Lewis Curran amended themotion inserting "a committee consisting of five members be on this investigation committee, four ofwhich shall be other than Legislature members." Overpowered by Power? The members of theLegislature Investigating Committee, Judy Runnels, Don Carlson, Dennis Lewis, Liz Sund-strom, andCharlotte Strom, have been taking an opinion poll of various classes to determine the students' actualfeelings toward the paper. The results of the poll was presented at this week's Legislature meeting. Itappeared to be difficult to judge the accuracy of the committee's findings or the degree of influencethey will have on the Legislature. Collegian writers were wondering "Will the power of the press beoverpowered by the power of the Legislature?" February 19, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 7 ---------- GOVERNMENT Put It in the Box . . . By JOHN TROUTNER Did you know that the bids for the UnionBuilding were about $20,000 over the architect's estimates and that the choice then was to eliminatethe publications area or to appropriate extra money? The money was allotted partially from college andpartially from student funds. Then, â€¢ due to an oversight, a $15,000 interest payment was overlookedand the money came from student funds. There is one other little thing: The Union Building is notowned by the students, as we thought, but is a college facility. Some people would consider this cumgrano salis, some would not, others would not know. Apathy Toward Student Government This year, asin every year of the past, a few people on campus are concerned about the apathy on the part ofstudents concerning student government. Among those concerned are the ASB President and theCollegian editor. There have been many attempts to find the cause and a great number of articles have been written for the Collegianâ€”in past yearsâ€”but to no avail. Once again an attempt has been madeto find out why this exists. Quite a number of students were asked; "What do you think of studentgovernment?" The answers were very similar: "I don't know anything about it"; "I don't care about itbecause it does not concern me"; "It doesn't affect me," or something very similar. This seems to be a very sad, uninformed opinion. The Legislature created the Union Building and the Bookstore. Thisyear, on recommendations from the Finance Chairman, Jerry Baker, laws were passed that havestopped most of the wild, uncontrolled spending of student funds that had gone on in the past. Veryfew people know about this. One very interesting guess as to why the lethargy is so prevalent washazarded by more than one student. The guess was that either the student government did nothingor that there was very poor publicity. Believe It or Not the Legislature Took Action Last week severalmembers of the Legislature reported that a number of students had voiced opinions to them and, believeit or not, the Legis- February 19, 1960 JOHN TROUTNER Voices and pressure felt . . . lature tookaction on these opinions. At present the problem is being worked out to what is hoped will be asatisfactory solution. This was a direct representation of the students and it should show them thattheir voices and pressure were felt at least this once. It should also show that the Legislature doessomething once in awhile. Perhaps (and this is not meant to be derogatory to anyone) if there was better coverage in campus publications on what actually happens and if more students would attend theLegislature meetings and read the Collegian this langor would not predominate. If you want bettercoverage write a letter to the editor and put it in the post office in Old Main. The fault lies more with theindividual student rather than any group such as the Collegian or the Legislature. LEGISLATUREBasking in Personality By LEO DODD "The Legislature doesn't do anything!" "The Legislature is abunch of pseudo-intellectuals!" "The Legislature talks big and does nothing!" These are just a few of thecomments voiced about the Legislature in the past quarter and a half. No doubt the majority of theseopinions came from people who were unfamiliar with the operations and personnel of our studentgovernment. Legislature has accomplished Something In actuality the Legislature has accomplished something. Mainly through WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN the efforts of ASB President BobGustavson and two or three conscientious Legislators, the functioning of this body has been partiallysuccessful. The By-laws committee, chair-manned by Mike Barnhart, has come a long way in revising and integrating our ASB by-laws into useful form. Gustavson has labored continuously to mold theLegislature into a well organized, efficiently operating group. The work of the Finance Board andFacilities Board has been very successful. And yet there remains much to te desired. To many of theLegislators, student government seems only to involve attendance at the Legislature meetings from 4to 6 on Wednesday afternoons. On occasion they have been openly reprimanded during their meeting by the ASB President due to their indifferent attitude and lack of positive action. Runnels Biased, EasilyInfluenced Certainly the personalities on the Legislature have much to do with this attitude. These arethe members that formulate our policies: MIKE BARNHARTâ€”one of the more effective members;idealistic; hard working; dedicated. BOB BROWNâ€”nice guy; weak, ineffective Legislator; prestigeconscious. BOB BURGOYNEâ€”inexperienced; indifferent; lack of real interest. LEWCURRANâ€”willing to work; adequate knowledge of student government; personality conscious.LARRY ERNSTâ€”intelligent although COLLEGIAN WRITER Inane and predigesled? Page 7 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 8 ---------- inexperienced; doesn't work up to capacity. GARY GERHARD â€” opinionated although easilyinfluenced; good possibilities although inexperienced. GORDON MILLS â€” indifferent attitude;sarcastic; has ability but does not use it. JUDY RUNNELSâ€”biased; can be influenced; talks a lot but says nothing; tries hard. RON SALTISâ€”completely indifferent; misses meetings; friendly attitude.DOUG SIMPSONâ€”conscientious Legislator; lacks experience but works hard. LEO DODDâ€”nocomment. The above comments are only opinion but they could help to explain some of the currentproblems existent in the present Legislature. If these problems are to be resolved, it will be up to eachindividual Legislator to concern himself with efficient functioning of student government rather thanbasking in the rays of his own personal importance. LOBBYING "Ponder the Power , . ." By MIKEBARNHART Several weeks ago, the Collegian Editor, Howard Dewitt, asked that I write an article aboutthe Student Legislature. Since then I have pondered the task and decided it best to approach thesubject from the standpoint of its ultimate motivationâ€”pressure. Any system that is representativemust act according to the words that reach it either from subordinate organizations and interests or the individuals being represented. Of course, individual students are always encouraged to approachthe Legislators; and there are numerous avenues of expression at Western that provide individualstudents, acting as a collective whole, the opportunity to reach the major policy-making body, theStudent Legislature, with considerable force. The numerous clubs and organizations on this campus could appoint a spokesman for their particulars who would air the collective criticisms and/orsuggestions. All he or she needs to do is contact a member of the Legislature, inform him or her of thequestion and request that consideration be given. And, if the Legislator is unable to realize satisfaction by merely referring it to the appropriate Standing or ad hoc Committee, then he is impelled to requestLEO DODD 'Openly reprimanded' the question be placed on the ASB President's agenda for the nextmeeting. I might point out at this time that over 90% of the work done by any Legislature isaccomplished in com- As previously stated, a Legislature as a whole. As previously stated, a legislature operates largely on pressure and it is usually through pressure that it acts. Pressure connotes need and desire even if it is from the vested or powerful interests. Ponder the existence of 78 organized clubs,houses or what have you on Western's Campus and you will realize the latent lobbying power availableto you, the student. Lobbying is an age-old technique and, properly used, it can be a powerful weapon.OPINIONS Most Have No Reasons By MURRAY SANDS The Collegian went looking for Five opinionsof significance" this week and found that when the question, "Who should dictate student policy?" wasasked, opinions were far-ranging and far apart. Five people intimately concerned with student government on the campus considered the question and came up with the idealistic, platitudiness, old and newideas. One said most students don't care, and have no reason to. Student Activities Director* HaroldGoltz felt that all student organizations "by and large have the same objectives." These areeducation, development, and experience. More specifically, all organizations should be aimed atpresent student interests, the development of new interests, setting standards befitting a collegeorganization, and encouragement of promising students to participate in student affairs. Referringspecifically to the student government and to all college organizations in general, Mr. Goltz expressed the belief that we "should occasionally take a long objective look at our goals." He further stated that,"all organizations should be in a constant state of evolution. Otherwise past errors are repeated." Dr.Charles J. Flora said he believed students attend college to get an education rather than to worrythemselves with student government. In his capacity as ASB Legislature advisor, Dr. Flora hasobserved that students at Western seem to be dedicated to their main purpose and have less time todevote to government. "Most students really have no reason to be interested in student government," hesaid. That is, until their toes are "tromped on" or a negative issue arises. Union Board Chairman JackRa-bourn expressed the opinion that major objectives of the ASB Legislature "are not being approachedto date." When asked in what way improvement could be made, he said Legislators should "quit beingpetty and selfish and start evaluating matters for the general good." Rabourn suggested that studentsencourage competent persons to run for important offices. ASB President Bob Gustavson pointed outthe progress of this year's government. He pointed to the success of the Artist and Lecture Series, andthe many dances and social events sponsored by the ASB. It must be remembered that theLegislature is saddled with responsibilities which should not be underestimated, he said. Heconsidered that the handling of a hundred thousand dollar budget is achieved only through months of hard work. President Gustavson explains the position of the present Legislature as follows: "Pastadministrations have left many pitfalls in student government, including finance and lack of policy forASB activities and clubs. The Legislature this year has been forced to attempt to alleviate theseconditions and therefore have not been able to do some of the creative things expected of such a body."That was what five people said.

In winning one of the contests, the Viks are still very much in the running for the shot at the national tournament atKansas City. The Lutherans downed the Vikings, 70-56. Saturday night, another overflow crowdwatched one of WWC's great games, as the Viks won an overtime thriller by a 86-85 score. Fridaynight Western got off to a shaky start, as PLC led 14-3 before Ron Crowe bagged WWC's first field goal. The Viks rallied and closed the gap to 17-16, but PLC spurted to a 40-28 lead at the half. Midwaythrough the second half, Hubbard sent in his reserve troops, as the Vikings were unable to narrow a 14-point bulge. His "Four Freshmen" and Derm Cunningham then proceeded to put on a hustling, ball-hawking, rally and before the Lutes could recover, Western had narrowed the PLC lead to 62-56. Asthe Lutes went into a stall, WWC had to foul in an attempt to recover the ball. However, the Lutheransmade good on eight charity free-throws. Consequently, PLC came out with a 14-point margin of victory.The contest was closer than the final fourteen point spread, and it was one of Western's better effortson PLC's notorious home court. Comeback of the Year On Saturday night, Hubbard's boys played whatwas probably their best comeback effort of the year. Rallying from a steady nine-point deficit, the Vikings made a cool, slow climb up the score board to tie the Lutes at 74-74 at the end of the regulation period.Western had trailed the Lutes from the very start of the game, and never regained the lead until they ledin the overtime period. The Viks lost big Jim Greer via the foul route, but again the Viking bench strengthpayed off. Terry Clayton, Herm Washington, and Bob Gilda came in to keep the Vikings in the fire.Actually, it was definitely a team effort. Everyone who got into the game contributed to the cause. BudBloch was tremendous on the WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN boards, and Ron Crowe bangedhome thirty points. Gary Mose was all over the court, harassing the Lute back-men, and charging thebackboards. All the Vikings were heroes in that big drive. In the last minute of the regulation period andthroughout the overtime contest, the crowd was in hysterics. But perhaps the coolest, calmest lad in the county that night was shuffling Easy Ed Vadset. Ed came off the bench with a minute and thirtyseconds left in regulation time to lead the Vikings out of the fire. Vadset tied up the game at 74-74,and got all twelve of Western's points in the overtime period to give the Vikings their 86-85 victory.This weekend the Vikings are on the road. Tonight they tackle the UPS Loggers in Tacoma, and then it'llbe Central Washington College at Ellens-berg on Saturday night. Next Tuesday, Western hosts UPS.These three forthcoming contests are all vital ones. The Viks need victories for the play-off spot.RUGBY Viks Held Scoreless By RAY DEVIER In an effort to send our boys to California some threehundred fans turned out at Battersby Field, and watched a scoreless, but thrilling game between our own Vikings and the Vancouver Rowing Club. The visiting team was the first club to keep the Viks scoreless in three years. The game itself was marked by good defensive play on the part of both teams. Spurtsof exciting offensive maneuvers kept the somewhat chilled fans interested. Mathieson Shines AgainWestern threatened many time in the game, but just couldn't push that ball over a try. Once again theoutstanding player for Western was Al Mathieson. The past week has been spent on polishing upplays with emphasis on conditioning, as the Vikings prepare to invade Canada tomorrow for a game withthe Vancouver Barbarians. They will return to Western one week from tomorrow. February 19, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 11 ---------- JAYVEE BASKETBALL Little Viks Edge Shack on Slettedahl's 17 Points Western's Jayvees relied onthe scoring of Terry Slettedahl as they upped their season record to 9 wins and 2 losses with a close39-37 win over the Shack Drive-in last Saturday night in the preliminary game prior to the Western-PLCtilt. Slettedahl, hitting on free throws and long jumpers banged home 17 points as the junior Viks camefrom behind to win. The Shack attempted to knock off the Jayvees with a deliberate type offense, but fell victim to a close checking defense. For the Shack, Sam Martin and Larry Whitney were outstandingas they controlled the play and forced a slowing down of the game which almost led to the defeat ofthe inexperienced J.V.'s. SWIMMING Viks Outclassed Coach John Kulbitski, earlier in the year, hadstated that for the remainder of the season the Viking mermen would be "out of their class." While notcasting any reflections on the swimming team, his statement was borne out last week-end as thesplashers dropped a 68-27 meet to the Idaho Vandals in the Vikings pool. Dean Aspinall picked up the only 1st place for the Viks by winning the blue ribbon in the backstroke event. LEAGUE STANDINGSTeam Won Loss Pet.

New Coffee Bar Due to Open Within Two Weeks "I don't see any reason why the new coffee bar shouldn't be ready for business within a week," declared faculties chairman, Gus Pagels. Pagels stated that everything seemed to be ready to. go. The counters are ready to be installed and the candy counters are already in place. Two hundred mugs (the kind used by the GI's minus any handles) have been ordered for service in the lounge. Eleven dozen spoons will be ready for use also. TABLE BELAYED The committee had originally hoped to purchase ten tables of the type now in use in the lounge but the costs were prohibitive. Efforts to locate other tables will be continued and the new tables may be ready for use by fall quarter. Lewis Earle of the Co-op has hired a full-time waitress who will be on hand during the day. Tentative hours for the coffee bar will be 8:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. At next week's Board of Control meeting, the Board will settle any questions as to over-lapping of responsibility of the lounge managers and the Co-op. Haggard Represents WWC at Conference President W. W, Haggard will attend the fourth meeting of the School for Executives of the American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education, August 16-23, at Estes Park near Denver, Colorado. Approximately 400 presidents of colleges of education, deans of colleges and schools of education and universities, and other executives of teachers' colleges will participate in the conference. The purpose of the meeting is the consideration of current problems of teacher education. The school is divided into groups for discussion of the different problems. Dr. Haggard will participate in "Curriculum and Related Problems." The school is held every 'two years. The first was held in 1942 at Clear-lake, Michigan; the second in 1944 at Clarksburg, West Virginia; and the third at Chautauqua, New York, in 1946. Trustees Appointed Two new members were appointed to the Board of Overseers of Whitman college Tuesday, June 29, by President Winslow S. Anderson. The new members are Henry J. Copeland, veteran senator from Walla Walla county, and Omar C. Spencer, Portland attorney. VOL.

Trip Planned For July 12 Two additional milestones in the summer recreational program are rapidly approaching, namely the Vancouver bus trip of Saturday, July 12, and the overnight trip to Heather Meadows, Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and 13. Reservations should be made early for both trips, since a limited number can be accommodated. The bus for Vancouver will leave at 8 a. m. from High street in front of Edens hall. It is planned to stay for "Girl Crazy," which will be showing at the "Theatre Under the Stars," if enough so desire. Otherwise the bus will return in the late afternoon. In either case ample time will be allowed for shopping and sightseeing. Miss Ruth Weythman, summer recreation chairman, stated that suggestions will be given as to where to shop and eat. Those going on the overnight outing to Heather Meadows will have opportunity to climb Table mountain, Austin Pass and to see Chain lakes. This trip will be through country described as a photographer's paradise. 50th Anniversary To be Celebrated Next 3 Quarters Western Washington College of Education will be the scene, during the next three quarters, of many celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the school. Most of these festivities will take place in the spring quarter and will be climaxed on May 20 and 21, 1949. A movie of school lire is being made for the anniversary and will be shown several times during the year. Homecoming will also be the time of many added attractions celebrating the 50 year mark. Miss Nora Cummins is general chairman for the activities and she will be assisted by the following faculty chairmen: Dr. Arthur Hicks, history of the school; Charles M. Rice, movie; Victor Hoppe, pageant; Dean Lorraine Powers, social; Miss Hazel Plympton, exhibit; and Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publicity. These committees will be assisted by student groups and alumni. Groups Make Soil Survey —Photos by Bernie Lepeska. Pictured above are two graphic examples of the state of affairs as they exist at Lakewood, the college property on Lake Whatcom. For the complete story of the conditions and the action to be taken by the Board of Control, see this issue. Top: The rotting wharf and the boat-house; below: The somewhat dilipidated condition of the bathhouse porch. Speeders on High Street Warned by Traffic Squad By JOHN SIGURDSON Asserting that any driver exceeding a 25 mile per hour speed limit on High Street would be tagged by his officers, Lieutenant Morse, head of the police traffic squad, last week responded to complaints filed against the excess speeding along the narrow street leading to the college. The complaints were filed by irate citizens who reside along High Street, and by the parents of Campua school children. Shortly before last quarter ended, a Campus school boy was struck by a speeding motorist as he stepped from between two parked cars in front of the Highland creamery Further down, on the corner of Ivy and High streets, a dog was recently killed, by another speedster. Realizing the danger that such conditions inflict upon everyone, the angry citizens stormed the city hall demanding action. As a result, the police department stated that as much attention as is possible will be devoted to combating this danger. WWC Students Warned The students of WWC are' urged to pay strict accord to all traffic regulations by "Dr. Haggard, who stresses, in particular, the importance of complying with those regulations governing driving- on the campus. The speed limit for all (Continued on Page Four) Schneider, Jacobson To Appear in Violin-Piano Concert Alexander Schneider, violinist, and Madame Bertha Poncy Jacobson, pianist, will present a violin-piano sonata concert July 6 at 8 p. m., in the college auditorium. Schneider is a world famed violinist, and a Columbia recording artist. Mme. Jacobson is a member of the faculty at the University of Washington -school of music. By MONTY JONES Members of three study groups at Westetrn Washington college left the campus Wednesday, 8:15 a. m. to make a general survey of soil conservation in Skagit county! The students were from three separate post-graduate classes: School administration, Visual Aids, and Community Resources. The group was accompanied by Dr. Irwin A. Hammer, Dr. Alan Ross, and Dave Rushong, WWC faculty members. The caravan of ten automobiles was met near Blanchard on t he Chuckanut highway by two work unit representatives of the United States Conservation service, A. F. Harms and C. F. Stubble. The morning was spent in observing methods used in soil drainage, fertilization, irrigation, selection of crops. The group visited the Pier-son grass dehydrating plant at Allen and the Kenneth Kaaland farm near Sedro-Woolley. They then traveled to a bend in the Skagit river where they observed the effects of the high water since last December which wore the banks away as far back as fifty feet. Lunch was eaten in the dining room of the Gateway hotel in Sedro- Woolley. Harms then showed slides revealing the great need for soil conservation in Washington state and some of what they had already done in the way of fertilization, flood control, selective logging, and erosion control. Harms then introduced Paul Dickey, the northwest director of the United States Soil Conservation srevice. (Continued on Page 4) Collegiates to Hear Varied Programs For the purpose of providing additional cultural enjoyment for the students of the college there is presented each quarter an Artist and Lecture Series which i s held in the college auditorium. For the summer quarter the programs will be held in the auditorium at 8 p. m. The artists and lecturers are chosen by a student-faculty committee. Making up the committee are faculty members, Miss Ethel Church, Victor Hoppe, Frank D'Andrea, and Bernard Regier; students, Halldor Karason, Bill Hunt, Margery Traul-sen, and Gus Pagels. Lakewood In Need Of Repairs Former students may h a ve fond memories of Lakewood which was then called "Normal-stad" but they would be in for , a shock if they were to see it now. Members of the Properties committee and the Board-of Control made a survey of the college property on Lakg_Whatc.om last .Thursday, June 24, and found the property in a run-down condition. The boathouse which houses the student-body's three boats, the Viqueen, the Viking, and the Sehome, is awash and water sloshes over the floor on the inside of the building. The wary person who would take a boat ride must first figure out how to get out to the boathouse without falling in the water. FLOAT ROTTING AWAY The float, which once was a magnificent dock, is now in a rotted condition and here again, the lake is slowly claiming it. The weeds and over-growth have spread over the grounds. The bathhouses are in need of repair, their doors having been forced open. The porch of the bath-h6use has rotted away entirely. A jungle of weeds makes it practically impossible to reach the far entrance.. of. the. bathhouse. — The cabin is. in need of two window panes which were not fortunate enough to survive the winter. New steps should be built to replace the rotted ones that how stand on the property. Warren Tiffany, chairman of the Properties committee, declared that something would be done. (Continued on Page Four) Faculty Completes Two Years Support Of French Orphan Faculty members have completed support of Jacques Boudeville, a French war orphan, for two years and have voted to accept again the responsibility for another year. Jacques has written several letters to Miss Evelyn. Odom, chairman, thanking her for the many packages he has received. Jacques states, that he is being "spoiled" by his foster parents, as is his brother who also has foster parents in the United States. His packages contain practical articles such as clothing, as well as gifts primarily for his enjoyment such as candy and games. He has also received money, 805 francs, or about $150. The faculty collects $180 a year toward his support. Registrar Ferris States Enrollment This summer's registration has increased, over last year's total of 845, to 917, and is expected to reach the 1,000 mark during the second term of the quarter, according to Registrar Donald Ferris. The present enrollment is made up -of about one-third regular students, but the great majority are teachers taking refresher courses. Special students, who are taking not more than six hours, and new students, are in the minority. ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 July 2 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash. Friday, July 2, 1948 Peace in Our Time Must be Our Goal "While the war clouds gather, far across the sea, let us swear allegiance to a land that's free . . . " Yes, God bless America and give her the strength to fight for peace in these uncertain times. In 1945 the war ended and the peoples of the earth rejoiced at the blessings of peace. Now, just three years later, the dread sound of marching armies again reaches our ears and our people hear it and pray that it cannot be, so. Yes, all of the world's people hear the marching clamor of an approaching war and they dread it. What type of man is it that loves the sound of the armies tread? Who is it that plunges the world into ghastly struggles that rock the very foundations of civilization? What is this lust for power and greed that creates diabolical ambition in men such as Hitler and Mussolini? What is it that causes war? Probably if one could answer those questions, the problem could be solved. The average citizen certainly isn't in possession of the lust for war, but, he is the owner of a powerful force which aids the planning of those who prepare for war. Misunderstanding and thinking by emotion rather than logic are two factors that must be eliminated before the world can free itself of the ravages of war. As long as people are more willing to pick up a gun than try to understand their neighbors' problems and his side of a question, there will be war. Peace will persist only where peoples live side by side, willing to understand each other's problems and to help each other in finding a solution. There are leaders m the world who, apparently by use of their peoples' misunderstanding, are preparing for war. It is therefore up to the rest of the world to renew its efforts in making them see the necessity for peace. Peace is not a thing that just "hangs around." It must be fought for just as war is fought for. Peace is a "give and take" proposition, we must not forget, and let us not do that which we criticize others for. j L Peace does not mean appeasement. Chamberlain tried that and he only succeeded in whetting the dictators' appetites. Those who oppose our way of life must make compromises just as we must make compromises. Now is the time for Americans to consider whether they have been fighting for^peace. President Truman sums it up this way: "OUR GOAL MUST BE—NOT PEACE IN OUR TIME—BUT PEACE FOR ALL TIME." A Notice for Heels " PLEASE!" Perhaps you've noticed those little signs sitting on the lawn about the campus with this word inscribed upon it. There are evidently many people who do not know what it refers to, judging from their actions. The incoming freshmen are carefully indoctrinated in the fall with the proud traditions of a beautiful lawn. During the heavy overcasts of winter quarter, the lawn is forgotten but when spring and summer come, the lawn is very much appreciated. That sign applies both to faculty members and students. A faculty member's shoes kill just as much grass as a student's unless it's a girl's tiny size five. The groundsmen are having enough trouble trying to keep the campus green without having students adding to their grief. " KEEP OFF OUR GRASS! The World Today . . . by dowd WASHINGTON, D. C • . . President Truman made surprising news this week by declaring that Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt would make an acceptable running mate if she could capture the vice-presidential spot on the Democratic ticket. BELGRADE . . . Perhaps the biggest news story of the year broke when t h e Comminter rt'black-listed" Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia as being a collaborator with the western imperialists.

The western powers are determined to remain in Berlin and it seems the Russians are determined to. keep them put. CAIRO . . .

The British government has ordered martial law imposed over the country as fierce riots sweep through the cities. The death total mounts daily. WWCOLLEGIAN Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I was extremely perturbed after reading the letter, sent in by a student that is obviously new to WWC, in which it was stated that "when you step into the main building it is like stepping into a forgotten era —50 years ago." Perhaps it is a mistaken assumption that when you attend a college you do so in order to learn, not to be carried away by the relative merits or demerits of its construction. If that student would spend more time pursuing the basis of college life (learning) I feel certain that she would not be so obvious of what, to her way or thinking, Is the "antiquated appearance of the school." An Irate Reader. Tryout Players Present Play Melodrama deluxe was the keynote of "Cup of Fury," presented last week, June 24, by the Tryout Theater Players, of the University of Washington. The play was built around the strange hold which Aunt Cecily Winter had on each member of her family, either through fear, charity or a sense of duty from the family. The old aunt, the main character in the play, by her own acts, loses, one by one, the affections and finally the members of the family, who leave her to her own evil reflections. The play comes to a dramatic close in the death of the aunt as a proper retribution for her attempted torture of one relative and attempted murder of her companion. The play was written by Dr. George Savage and Bill Noble, a student at the university. Cub's Definitions Assignment — Duty dictated oy Dowd. Beat—Disciplinary action taken by Mrs. Burnet.

First Nat'l Bank Member of Visiting Faculty State Opinions of WWC Stress Outings, Friendliness By AL MAGNUSON Just what are the reactions of the visiting faculty to a query regarding their first impressions of WWC? A friendly chat will convince you of the fact that instructors are often interesting. What are the things that they mention most frequently in regard to our institution of higher learning? First let's pay a visit to Miss Elsie Grime of the education department of Whittier College. After our errand is explained, she responds, "Well now, let me think." But since she structors and students alike, and further that the recreation program was tops for the places where she has been. Take note, students that are in the classes of Miss Ethel Kawin, the director of guidance at the Glencoe Schools in Illinois and an instructor at the University of Chicago. She states that she is "impressed by the nice group of students who are eager to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge." . . . Remember and weep, when you get those D's and F's. Miss Hilda Schwehn of the physical education department at Purdue University, greets us with, "I'm real pleased to be here." .And then goes on to state that while she had heard much of the gorgeousness of the northwest, it far surpasses anything she had expected. Miss Mary Boppell of the Home Worth college commented on the beautiful green campus, then added, "but I suppose everyone says that." Quick, Dr. Haggard! Put that in the catalogue. One would think the psychologist would have many words of wisdom to impart, but' Miss Virginia Voeks, of the Psychology department of the University of Washington was found to be almost as human as the rest of us. 'kiss Voeks said, "Oh, heavens! You may quote me* as saying, 'Delightful, charming and so on'." Incidentally she was referring to the school, and not to the reporter. David J. Burrell, the curriculum consultant for industrial arts in the Seattle schools has been on both the giving and receiving end here at WWC. About twenty years ago he attended one of the summer sessions, and now has returned for another summer, this time as an instructor. He was impressed with the new buildings. His was a fitting conclusion for this article, "I guess that's about it." spent last summer here, thus being an old timer, it doesn't take long for her to collect her thoughts. She states that she is impressed by the lush greeness of the area and is further fascinated by the boats coming in and out. She also noted how practical the campus school building is. Instructors have temptations too: Miss Mabel L. Everett of the Shaker Heights School in Cleveland, Ohio, is a potential thief. She stated that after buying holly back east at fabulous prices she wanted to go out and snip some for her room even at this time of the year. Do you have holly growing in your yard? Then perk up your ears to this suggestion. Why not bring her some? Her office is in room 130. "I'd like it for the foliage even if it doesn't have berries on it," she said. And, just think! You may save the poor lady a trip to the jail for petit larceny. How do instructors react to being interviewed? Well, Miss Gertrude Ramage, of the Linnton school in Portland, expressed what many seemed to have in the back of their minds when she stated, "I'm going to be quoted now so I have to be careful what I say, don't I?" She was one of the visiting faculty members that mentioned both of the two things that seemed to be uppermost in the minds of these 'foreigners,' namely the friendliness of the in- Poetry Corner JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST At College— June, July and August, Ah, what months are these; Bringing work and tests To College busy-bees.

Visitor from France Here for Quarter Do you want to learn to speak French the easy way? One sure method would be to meet Miss Denice Bancalari, a genuine home-grown French girl who speaks the real thing. Denice has been in this country just nine months; she arrived in October, with a degree from a university, and after a quarter at Cheney has come to spend the summer at WWC. She has done some tutoring in French and would be very willing to do some more as she remarked: "I specialized in English, or majored in it, as you would say, in the University of Aix-Marseilles, in Nice." As well as speaking English fluently, she took about three courses in Russian, but as she put it, "gave it up fast." Denice is a dark-haired young lady with a pair of eyes nearly as dark as her hair. They twinkled when she responded to the question, "How old are you" with the repartee. "I am not yet eighty." After a moment's hesitation she disclosed the fact that she was 21. When questioned as to her athletic abilities, Denice proved herself one of the "rugged type." "I am a broad jump champion, and I do very well at all kinds of Summer Trips Shown in Slides Colored slides and martial music, presented in the assembly Thursday, June 24, stirred up.the summer recreation program. Shown by Miss Ruth Weythman, chairman of the recreation committee, the slides included (in glorious technicolor) pictures taken on trips in summers passed. Many among the audience recognized their pictured selves on the climb up Chuckanut Mountain, the picnic at the Rocks and the strenuous trek to Baker's summit. To new students, the assembly presented a new and promising aspect of summer school li* . The succulent jumps, and other track games, such j s ^ o n dished up at the Lakewood as rope climbing. It is a pity I was not a boy." In answer to a question on baseball, Denice has this to say for the great American sport. "I played it twice. I never understood where or when I ran, but I ran." She went on to say, in her pleasant, manner, "The French universities don't have as many students, and they have no campus. No one lives on the campus. We have no special activities like you do here, so that is why I am never home nights studying. "I like our school system better because it covers the curriculum more broadly. When you get out of high school there, you are prepared to specialize in one subject in the universities." Bellingham, being on the Puget Sound, favorably reminds Denice of her home town, Nice, which is located on the Mediterranean sea, with the Alps in the background She was a if she had grown her webbed feet yet, but when the parody on the climate was straightened out, she intimated she preferred sunshine. This summer she is living at Har-borview hall, but fall quarter will see Denice enrolled at the University of Washington. barbecue and the beautiful, rugged scenery of the San Juans literally leaped from the screen to entice them from their books. The college's summer recreation program, one of the finest in the country, is well planned to suit the interests of all persons from the mountaineer to the cnalr tourist. With twenty-one trips and picnics scheduled, every student will have an opportunity to see as much as possible of the unusually lovely scenic surroundings. Deadline dates for ticket sales and information regarding all trips will be posted on the Official Bulletin and on the Recreation Bulletin Board. CCF Makes Plans For July Outing; Committees Named Everyone is invited to go on the CCF outing to be held on Friday afternoon, July 9. The group will leave from in front of the P. E. building at 4:30 for a spot yet to. bit puzzled when asked b e designated. Those going are urged to sign up on the CCF bulletin board, or give their name to one of the club's members. It is further requested that those going indicate the number of guests that they intend to bring. At a meeting held last Wednesday, the overall outing committee chairman, Irene Ordway, appointed committees. They include: Food, Helen Johnson; place and trans-poratton, Bob Waters and Bob Rairdon; speaker, Vivian Gunder-son; entertainment, Shirley Swank and Al Magnuson. An offering totaling five dollars was also taken. It will be used to purchase song books for the organization. "College graduates are the best risks in marriage," says Dr. Evelyn Mills Duvall, executive secretary of the' National Council of Family Relations, in an address to the student body, University of Idaho.

King-Bowden United In Church Service* In Methodist Church More than ten guests gathered at t h e G a r d e n Street Methodist church, Sunday afternoon, June 13, to attend the wedding of Miss Iris Louise Bowden and Mr. Morris Kipg. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Gilbert Bowden and Mr. King's parents are Mrs. Jean King of Vancouver, Wash., and Mr. Hugh King, of Logan, Kansas. Summer flowers artistically decorated the church sanctuary for the 4 o'clock ceremony conducted by the Rev. Alexander P. Aiton. Mr. Lowe D. Bartruff was the organist, and Miss Margaret Holroyd of Vancouver, Wash., sang "Where E'er You Walk" and "Because" before the service, and "The Lord's Prayer" during the exchange of vows. Miss Bowden, walking down the aisle with her father, was an attractive bride in her rioor length gown of white imported organdy worn with a lace bordered fingertip veil. She is a former WWC student. First Mixer Held Friday, June 25, a mixer, at 8:30, in the Junior High gym, started off this summer's recreational program. Joanne Haggard was chairman of the mixer, and she was assisted by Miss Ruth Weytnman ana Hilda Schwehn, mistesses of ceremonies, and Berdell Smith, who was in charge of refreshments. Approximately 150 students participated in the games and square dancing which' was followed by dancing to the six-piece orchestra of Keith Imus. The games included a peanut relay,, and a human lottery which was won by Pat Lang. She received candy as a prize.

The cruisers will leave on the Xenial and the Seahawk. Head skipper for the affair will be Jack Crowler who knows the islands and the island lore. Don't get left out again!

Hospice edged out Normal Drive in the ninth by the score of 2-1. Each team made two errors and each pitcher gave up only two hits . . . And speaking of pitchers' battles—the Bells' game'with the Trotters turned out to be just that last Monday night—only about forty hits allowed in the entire game. That's only with the Trotters, of course. . . . Now that Louis has stated that he would retire, there are some followers of the ring who would call him a "has-been" and a bum . . . Well, it took him longer to be one titan any other great fighter . . . With all sorts of honors and awards; bestowed upon him, we hope that Lee Angel I, our county golf king, won't lose sight of the fact that the "college-on-the-hill" is proud of him, too, and expects him back next spring . . . "for the next couple of weeks the Seattle Rainiers can expect to have it easy—but it sometimes turns out that the "otherwise" happens. And when the Jo-Jos were one game away from first place, wasn't San Diego supposed to have been a "soft touch"? . . . The two major leagues don't seem to be getting anywhere— here it is almost the halfway mark of the baseball season and they're just about back to where they started. (The first division in each league—that is!) . . . "One more river to row" and then we hope to see the U. of W. Huskies entered in the Olympics. A first at London and the broom they will have used for this crew season should be sent—well, don't you think the national capital would be a good place? The "two-for-one bird story*" you know . . . Violin-Piano Duo Coming to WWCE Alexander Schneider, violinist, and Madame Bertha Poncy Jacobson, pianist, will present violin-piano sonata concert in the college auditorium on the evening of July 6, at 8:00 p. m. Their program will be a repeat of one they will give in Seattle's Meany hall earlier in the week. On the program here will be: G Major Sonata by Brahms, Sonata in A Minor by Beethoven and Sonata in E Flat Minor by Mozart. Schneider is a world famed concert violinist and is also a Columbia record artist. Mme. Jacobson is a distinguished member of the faculty of the University of Washington School of Music. more traffic story (Continued from Page One) traffic on the campus is 10 miles per hour, and in order to insure the safety of all students it is necessary to inforce this limit rigidly. As was expressed by Dr. Haggard, "I urge strict adherence to traffic regulations by all." As an important step in controlling the speeding along High street, a red blinker light has been installed in front of Edens hall. The fine for speeding is very stiff, but there is more to it than that. No person would intentionally endanger the lives of other people, and perhaps many of the speeding drivers actually fail to realize the dangers which can result from such actions. Every driver, however, should realize his responsibility, and cooperate in the campaign to eliminate the threat of speeding, not only from High street, but from all of Bellingham's streets.

Assurance was given that the 300 odd pounds collected in a "Clothing for Europe" drive, would be distributed to the most needy through personal representatives of the WRC in Europe. The letter further stressed the desperate need of all kinds of clothing. Champion Joe Louis Retires With Record Successfully defending his heavyweight championship crown for t he twenty-fifth time and for the tenth time against a return contender (for eleven years plus—the longest boxing record in ring history), Champion Joe Louis can well be classed as one of the greatest fighters in ring history. Louis proved to the boxing world that he still had that dynamite right that brought him the crown. Intramural Sports Begins With 2-1 Victory by Hospice The men's intramural softball league began action last Monday evening at the College athletic field. Four teams have entered the first, round of play, which will finish July 15. All games are scheduled for 6:15 p. m. Any game may be played at 4:30 p. m. if both teams agree. Decide) Now, not the day of the game, advises S. E. Carver, Intramural Athletic Director. Hospice, with "Dixie" Dahl, slow-ball artist, on the mound and Doyle behind the plate, defeated Normal Drive, with Rolland pitching and J. Russel catching, in a low scoring game 2 to 1. The complete schedule: June 28—Normal Drive vs. Hospice. July 1—Huntoon vs. Mathes. July 6—Normal Drive vs. Huntoon. July 8—Hospice vs. Mathes. July 12—Normal Drive vs. Mathes. July 15—Hospice vs. Huntoon. more conservation (Continued from Page One) Mr. Dickey gave a brief but very convincing and emphatic talk on the necessity for soil conservation. His statements were blunt and full of concern about the lack of attention paid to something as vital as the production of food. The figures given below were produced by Mr. Dickey as evidence that the farm situation is serious. Since 1888 • PACIFIC STEAM LAUNDRY 1728 Ellis St. Phone 126 I n both fights Walcott chose to attempt to win the championship on points. He might easily have done so in the last fight had he not started to mix it with Louis in the fatal eleventh. But the same happened to Walcott as to all others who challenged Louis for the second time—Louis calmly and unsmilingly chopped him down and undisputably retained his crown. As in horse-racing when a champion becomes too old and has given so much to the game, he is retired— shouldn't Champion Joe Louis be entitled to the same privilege? more lake wood (Continued from Page One) The committee has approximately $700 with which to repair the three college properties, Lakewood, Kul-shan cabin, and Sinclair island.

FLAMING LIPS New band blows into towntonight page 5 The Western Front â€”rii 1 Business accreditation put on hold By Shanna Gowenlockstaff reporter Western's College of Business and Economics didn't pass its first shot at nationalaccreditation this year, but it didn't quite flunk, either. Instead, the 13-year-old college's bid for theaccrediting organization's blessing was "put on hold," said Roland DeLorme, assistant vice president forAcademic Affairs 'In summary, they were generally impressed with the CBE but did point out severalareas where they felt there were various needs that needed to be addressed," DeLorme said. DeLormesaid the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business turned down the Western schoolbecause of concerns that its faculty is understaffed and in need of more research and growthopportunities. Chairman of the finance, marketing and decision sciences department, EarlBenson, said the AACBS wants the business college to fill, or demonstrate its intention to fill, its six toseven vacant faculty posts. Benson, who helped write the college's extensive self-study submitted tothe AACSB last June, also said faculty members at Western face stiff competition for scarce researchdollars. "Western's support in general of faculty is not anywhere near what it would be at a majoruniversity, but Western has been making some fairly good advances in support of faculty. "In terms ofteaching and research, AACSB's main interest is that faculty is alive and well, and makingcontributions in their field, so they can be good contributors in the classrooms as well," Benson said.According to the 300-page self-study, 17 business and economics college faculty members receivedeither sabbatical leave, summer research grants, academic year research grants, facultydevelopmental grants or participated in foreign exchange programs from June 1987 to June 1988.Currently the school has a 38- member faculty. Benson said with accreditation comes a desirablereputation â€”? both for the school and for its graduating students. "Some employers refuse tointerview students from a non-accredited school. I've spoken with several graduates in the past whowere unable to get interviews for this reason," he said. He said Western also could lure moretalented students and faculty to an accredited business school. See CBE on page 3 Programs scramble for piece of S A pie By Angela Reed staff reporter An increase of $149,200 in Service and Activitiesfees has split student- funded departments, each vying for its share of the money. Students will havethe chance to defend their programs in a public forum at 4 p.m. Monday in the Viking Union Lounge.Each student currently pays $75.50 per quarter for S A fees from his or her tuition. The S A Fee SplitCommittee voted April 10 to increase student contributions to $81.50 starting next fall. Departmentally Related Activities (DRAC), Housing and Dining and the Associated Students have proposed separatebudgets on how to split the increase, each of which favors their department. DRAC currently receives 27 percent of the total S A budget, while AS gets 32 percent and H D gets 40.9 percent. Lynda Goodrich, Western's athletic director, said the S A budget should be equally split. "We (DRAC) are operatingon a budget that's about 10 years old," Goodrich said. Only in the last two years has DRAC done athorough budget review, she said. "Our requests are in no way padded â€” we use this process toindicate our needs." DRAC, which funds intramurals, club sports, athletics, publications, music andother extracurricular activities, submitted a proposal requesting a majority of the increase. Itsproposal would allot $128,150 to DRAC, $20,750 for AS. Housing and Dining would not receive anincrease. DRAC needs money for men's and women's tennis, new music equipment, club sports andother areas, Goodrich said. AS funds programs such as the Lakewood recreation area, daycare, Human Resource Programs, AS productions and student clubs, and employs 125 students. Their proposed budget would allot $54,046 to AS, $50,573 to Housing and Dining and $45,581 to DRAC. AS wants themoney for an Ethnic Student Center, as well as to help cover increasing minimum wage costs. SeeFee on page 3 food for all J.

Thoelke is a presidential candidate in the upcoming AS election. The charge resulted from a Feb. 20 report of a vandalized telephone booth in the 1100 block of North StateStreet, according to court records. Bellingham police officers stopped Thoelke on that block, found atelephone receiver in his coat and arrested him. He was also charged with minor in possession ofalcohol, which was later dropped. Thoelke plead guilty. He was given a $200 fine and a.one-yearsuspended sentence, during which a violation could send him to jail. Presiding Judge David Ray alsoordered him to pay- $75 for his court-appointed lawyer.

"While the campus recognizes high achievement in athletics, fo-rensics, musicand many other fields, there is no occasion on which we take notice of achievement by our students asscholars," said George Mariz, Honors Program director. Honors students will present and defend writingthey have done for Honors courses during the last two years. The two classes of papers includeessays and research papers. Cash prizes, provided by the Western Foundation, will be awarded forthree papers in each category. The Honors Board will review the papers and decide on the awards. AllHonors students are eligible to participate. Center to assess outdoor facilities Western's NorthwestRecreation Research Center was awarded an $18,900 contract by the Interagency Committee forOutdoor Recreation to assess the natural and developed private outdoor recreation opportunitiesavailable to Washington citizens. Research will involve conducting a statewide inventory of privateoutdoor recreational facilities, such as overnight camping, marinas and related boating facilities, skiareas, golf courses, health or fitness clubs and swimming pools. College may get 2 police patrolsBellingham Police Captain DavidMacDonald' s plan to restructure the department's beats will not,contrary to earlier rumors, leave Western without a regular officer on patrol, Police Lt. Don Miles said."We'll keep patrolling campus until doomsday... or until the security force up there is commissioned,"he said. Under the plan, Western would probably be split into two beats, with two cars patrolling thecam-, pus instead of the current one, Miles said. The restructuring will probably take effect in June. 1â€¢ Associated Students Service and Activity Committee hearing from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday in VikingUnion Lounge. â€¢ Huxley College bake sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. today in Arntzen Hall main entrance. â€¢ Associated Students Board meets at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Viking Union 408. â€¢ Student HealthServices will sponsor its spring quarter blood drive from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday in theOld Main Registration Center. â€¢ Kappa Hall sponsors Kappa Carnival from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday inRed Square, or Carver Gym in case of rain.

KNOW Gonzagaformal just smashing Drinking was not the only problem at the Gonzaga University Spring Formal,said Mark Sole, Gonzaga Student Body Association vice president for Student Activities. Vandalizedhall signs, smashed flower pots and stolen room items were discovered following the activity. About900 students attended the dance at Coeur d'Alene Resort in Idaho. Two students were hospitalized forexcessive alcohol intake and related injuries, Steve Hess, assistant to the dean of students, said. "Itwas'a totally wild party," one student recalled. "Everyone was smashed..." Golf 'marshals' let go inIdaho Golf "marshals," assigned to curtail drinking on the links, will no longer work at the University ofIdaho Golf Course. Pro-shop employees will now serve as "rangers" and patrol the course during peakperiods of play. Terry Armstrong, executive assistant to the president, said there was a need toenforce golf etiquette on the course last year. And when the drinking age changed to 21, the needbecame more pressing, he said. Thoelke Continued from page 1 misdemeanor. The AS board did notact against Thoelke because, "It's a civil matter and it doesn' t reflect on his duties on the board," saidJack Smith, AS advisor. Thoelke said the conviction has nothing to do with his position on the board orhis candidacy in the upcoming election. 'It was a silly thing and it's over," he said. "And it has nothingto do with it." Renai Lindblom, an elementary education major, said she believes students should knowabout AS board members who break the law. "I don't think that Thoelke' s case shows he's a veryresponsible citizen. I would want to know that, as a voter, so I could judge him more effectively,"Lindblom said. AS President Tammy Fleming said Thoelke's case does not have any bearing on hisability to serve as a student representative. Chris Hart, vice president for external affairs, agreed withFleming, and said Thoelke's a good representative of the student body.

Along the route they were met approvingly with car honks and occasional shouts ofencouragement. Frustration plagued many marchers, who said they wanted to do something to help with the clean-up because they didn't feel Exxon was doing an adequate job. "If I was the oil companypresident, I'd have my butt up there scooping up buckets of oil and goop," said junior Erin Smith, anEnglish major. Junior Holly Rich, an environmental science major, said the march was the moststudent involvement she had seen on an issue. Loud cheers erupted as the group reached the front ofthe Federal building, where marchers handed out pamphlets with addresses of Exxon andgovernmental officials. Reactions from the small crowd gathered across the street ranged from aresounding shout of approval to stares of bewilderment. An unidentified passer-by said she didn'tunderstand what all the fuss was about. "They ought to get a job," was her only response.

Fee Continued from page 1Housing and Dining proposed to allot itself $61,300, $47,700 to AS and $40,200 to DRAC. H D funds,among other things, the evening shuttle van and off-campus housing during summer quarter. Additionalfunding is targeted for renovating the VU and building a recreation facility. The S A Fee Split Committee voted last Monday in favor of the AS proposal. While satisfying Housing and Dining and AS, thisdistribution gives DRAC only $45,581 of its requested $128,150. "I don't want any hostility," saidTammy Fleming, AS president. 'The hearing is to let students voice concerns, not to see whichdepartment can be most represented." Kay Rich, director of University Residences, and Goodrich alsoexpressed concern about the groups being put in the position of adversaries. Fleming said thecommittee's vote is fair and that each department's allotment will cover inflation and any additionalneeds.

Pacific First Federal Class Service 1336 Cornwall, 733-6970 Pacific First Federal SavingsBank, Member FSLIC Sophomore Rennie Medved, who plans to declare a management major next fall,said, "I think it would be better to have an accredited school because it would have more of a name,more prestige. And that probably wouldn't hurt when I have to find a job in my majoh" Benson saidonly two of 11 schools applying for AACSB accreditation this year received it. Four schools were turneddown, and five, including Western's, were placed on deferred status. "So it's not an entirelyunfavorable report by any means. Many colleges across the country are turned down outright. Theagency addressed serious concerns, which we may or may not agree with, but we will definitely taketheir concerns into consideration," DeLorme said. Benson said the school must respond to the AABCS' s concerns by Jan 15, 1990, to be reconsidered for accreditation.

Yakima Valley's Tex-Mex will play music of "Los Alegres del Norte" (the happy ones of the north) for the dance following theconcert. The Morca Flamenco Ballet has toured nationally and internationally . and was chosen for thecelebration not only for status and recognition, but also because MECHA likes to support artists fromthis area, she said.

Ticket prices are $15 for adults, $25 for couples, $7 for seniors and students and $5 for children 12 years and under. All proceeds from this event will benefit the Hispanic StudentScholarship Fund.

Clubprovides drug-free atmosphere By Kelly Huvinen staff reporter A nightclub for the whole family? That'sthe idea at a new Belling-ham club, the Ten Mile Oasis. Located on the Guide Meridian at Ten MileCreek, the Oasis offers "clean and sober" dancing every Friday and Saturday night. The club promotes a safe environment for recovering alcoholics and drug abusers, but is open to anyone who wants drug-free fun. Club owner George Chamberlain said his primary purpose is to have fun without drinking, toshow that people can live without drugs. He said members of the various "12 Steps" rehabilitationprograms, like Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon, bring family and friends to the club for dancingwithout worrying about drinking. Chamberlain said he saw a big need for such a club, and formed apartnership with three friends. The result was the Ten Mile Oasis. Live bands perform each week in theold converted barn that houses the club, and every Friday night is a lip sync contest. The music isprimarily rock 'n' roll, including classics from the '50s and '60s. Chamberlain said he hopes to add folkmusic to the schedule in the future, and also plans to hold rehabilitation meetings in the bam. The clubis a private enterprise and cover charges are $8 couples, $5 singles, and $2.50 for children under 10.Doors open at 9 p.m. and the party lasts until 1 a.m. every weekend.

Pete Townshend:'We've already doneour fucking farewell tour. This is a birthday party!" In what could be the biggest event in rock historysince their farewell tour seven years ago, the Who will hit the road again, in mock hypo-crasy, tocelebrate their 25th year in music. "The Kids Are Alright" North American tour kicks off June 24 atToronto's Maple Leaf Gardens (ironically, the site of their final show in '82) and stops in the Northweston August 18, when three of the four original mods from Shepherd's Bush, England, come to B.C. Place. Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle and Pete Townshend, who originally began as the Detours in 1962, haveadded drummer Simon Phillips to their line-up, replacing Kenney Jones, due to internal squabbling.Phillips worked on Townshend's 1985 White City album, which included the hit "Face the Face." Attheir April 24 press conference in New York, Daltrey said that the group will add to their usualonstage line-up, which will include backup singers and also a full orchestra for two privateperformances of rock's first opera, "Tommy," in its entirety, from which all proceeds will go to MusicalTherapy, a charity which the Who started in England. At the press conference, Town-shend said, "It's'Tommy' which people remember the Who from." All concerts, at $33 a ticket, will be three hours long,with no opening acts, Towshend added. A seven-album set of the group's material, spanning theirentire career, is scheduled for release soon, whatever "soon" means. It has been rumored that theWho has been in the studio since January cutting anew album, but that remains to be seen, too. Thoseof you out there who aren't caught up in the Top-40 syndrome of Debbie Gibson and Bobby Brownprobably realize what the Who getting back together again means for rock. It's a testament that thereal institutions of the industry are still heeded and worshipped (in a musical sense). Tiffany and theBeastie Boys come and go, but people who have not just added to, but have invented the basis of themodern sounds you hear today, deserve to be recognized and honored, thus, with a 26-date continentaltour this summer. "On an purely average night, the Who rank among the top or five live rock acts in theworld. On a good or inspired night they are recognized as being absolutely untouch' able, time andagain having been acclaimed as the finest, most exciting live performance band ever."

The team has play ed outstanding rugby this year, posting a 14-4 seasonrecord (8-2 in league play), rugby Loach John McCarthy said. The Flames are one of only six teams toqualify for the West Coast regional tournament, scheduled for this weekend at Stanford University. Thetop two teams will then continue on to the national tournament at a site yet to be determined. "Of the22 players on the team, eight have had no prior rugby experience (before this year) and of those eight,six are starters," McCarthy said, adding, "Of the veterans, most have had no more than three yearsexperience playing the sport." This year's team has more than lived up to McCarthy's expectations. "Ifwe would have finished the season .500,1 would have been happy. I am just really proud of the team'sperformance this season," he said. "One of the advantages we have is that Western has only had onecoach," so the teaching philosophy . and style of coaching has never changed, he said. First-year player Anne Shrauner said, "All of John's (McCarthy) comments are positive and his goal is to help out theplayers as much as possible." Veteran team member Lorrie Brilla said, "The young players are reallyexcited and what they lack in experience they gain in enthusiasm." The game is complex so "we helpthem before and after practices so they can learn the game better," Brilla said. Brilla attributes thesuccess to the team's abundance of good ath-, letes. "Even though they (the new players) might notknow rugby as well, they are good athletes," she said. Michael J.

The men's team believesthey have a valid shot at sending the varsity-eight, lightweight- Â»eight and the junior varsity-eight to thechampionships. Men's Coach Jason Frisk said the men will decide for themselves if they want to endtheir â€¢rowing season this weekend or extend it another two weeks. "The team has done a prettygood job rowing this year," Frisk said, adding, "They should win their races... I'm sure they'll come w out spitting nails." Scott Heisinger, arower in the lightweight-eight boat, will be unable to row this weekendbecause of stomach ailments. Heisinger and Christian Anderson, another lightweight-eight rower, wereunable to row in the Tri-Cities Regatta last weekend. The two rowers were admitted into the emergencyroom in the Tri-Cities with severe stomach pains. Anderson will row this weekend at the Sprints.

We call him thecaptain of the boat," Frisk said. The women's team will try to recover from losses at the last tworegattas, but women's Coach Peter Jackson said he is not sure how his team will do at the Sprints.Women's coxswain Chris Blea said the boats should do well this weekend. "Humboldt is our onlycompetition ... our really tough competition," Blea said, Jackson said his women will have to do a lot ofgood racing if they are going to go to California. "They have got to get tough," Jackson said, adding, "The open-weight boat team has got to get it together mentally if they are going to win." The Sprints began in 1981, but was not held last spring. The Vikings dominated the meet from 1984-1986. Domino's PizzaWants You! Are you planning to return to Western in the fall? Could you use a great part-time job to helpwith fall expenses?

The Services and Activities FeeSplit Committee has accepted a proposal that would give the Associated Students the biggest cut of a$149,200 increase in the total S A budget. And several hundred students involved in club sports, music,theater, debate and student publications aren't happy. Their activities are underfunded. The S Acommittee is hosting one more public hearing on the fee split proposal before it gives its recommendationto the Board of Trustees. Departmentally Related Activities (DRAC), which funds athletics,publications, performing arts and other programs, will get $45,581 of the fund increase, according to theproposal. The AS will get $54,046 and Housing and Dining will get $50i,573, leasing DRAC with less than half of what it asked for. Each group is fighting for its share. Housing and Dining would use its cut forbonds that pay for campus housing, for renovation of the Viking Union and for shuttle bus services. TheAS is planning to use the money to sustain its current programs and activities and for building the EthnicStudent Center next year. As for DRAC, it would be left to work with a budget that was adequate 10years ago. But even if every student involved in DRAC programs appears at the public forum, it may notbe enough to sway the S A committee. Of the nine voting members on the committee, five arepotentially biased in favor of the AS proposal. Each of the three groups has two people representing it onthe committee. In addition, two at-large members are selected by the AS Board. Whether or not thesemembers are biased toward the AS proposal is open to speculation. And AS President Tammy Flemingprovides another vote for the AS proposal, though in her position on the council she is supposed torepresent the entire student body, not just the AS housed in the VU. The danger here is that Flemingcould have a hard time discarding her AS allegiance for the good of a greater number of students. All ofthe committee members need to remember that students should have the final word on how their tuition should be spent. Coaches and advisers in DRAC are urging the students they work with to attend themeeting. But committee members shouldn't discount the students just because they were asked to bepresent: Everyone here knows that students just don't happen to show up at meetings. They'll gobecause they care.

Butits continuous wandering in circles and the encrusted blood on the animal's face made it apparent itwas delirious from injury. The animal control officer who rescued the animal believed it had been hit by a car. But later examination showed the raccoon was shot through the forehead with a small-caliberbullet that lodged in the roof of her mouth. I've been told by the Humane Society that the raccoon willlive. After a few days on antibiotics, she will be released out in the county, hopefully to a better, kinderenvironment. But the experience of watching this suffering animal left me reeling with memories ofmy.own pet raccoon that died of gun-shot wounds when I was 10 years old. Jiggs was adopted by ourfamily as a baby aQer her mother was struck by a car. I remembered the first time she shimmied up myleg and stopped at my knee out of weakness. I remember nursing her to health with a baby bottle.And I remembered her helping me open presents on Christmas morning. I also remember the day Icame home from school and my mom said Jiggs was dead. When she told me she was shot, I couldn'tunderstand why someone would kill an animal so trusting as Jiggs. Thirteen years later, four of themspent at one of the best state institutions of higher learning, and I still don't understand why. I couidsee killing to save your life. I could see killing for research. I could see killing for meat. And I could evensee killing for sport. But where is the sport of killing an animal that can be lured within arms' reachwith a piece c f stale bread? The only answer I have is that located somewhere in the tangled network ofthe human brain is a persistent trait known as cruelty. It has clung to our chromosomes, surviving twomillion years of procreation, and yet it serves no purpose. It has no redeeming qualities, and it creates nothing but misery. In some ways, I think both raccoons are better off. Though they were the victimsof this tragedy called Homo sapiens, at least they don't have to suffer continuous degradation of theirown spirit from their own hands. All hands on Chicken Choker Society generates perversity Nobody isborn into this world intrinsically evil. We're all born as beautiful, noble, 100- percent pure human beings.And any weirdness or perversity in our lives, we pick up from society. What ticks me off is when peopletry to pin all the*responsibility for an action on the person who committed the action. In this world,everybody and everything is connected. Every event is a conspiracy. So, when I see in The WesternFront that a guy exposed himself and began masturbating in front of a woman in the Blue Room in theViking Addition a couple of weeks ago, I think to myself, "It's another incidence of channeling."Channeling, or "communicating." That's what I think this guy in the Blue Room was trying to do. Iwouldn't recommend his means of communi- - cation to anybody, but I think the main point was that hewas trying to express a spirit, an emotion, a wound, whatever. For the sake of levity, lets call the guy inthe Blue Room the Chicken Choker (that's what the cops call him). We could string the Chicken Chokerby the nuts and treat him as a freak â€” an aberration, an outcast from society. We could look at hisbackground and make some stupid rationalization for why he acts the way he does â€” maybe find some pornography or pitiful Satanic imagery in his bedroom. Then we'd feel secure. Then we'd know hisproblems are indigenous only to him, and we're all safe from the devil. But of course, that's not thecase. The Chicken Choker was obviously trying to communicate some piece of information about himself that he picked up from this society. I have a feeling his message had something to do with pain â€” hispain, everybody's pain. I think if the guy was healthy he would have chosen a more fluid form ofexpression than hit-and-run masturbation. Since he certainly wasn't born with the desire to masturbate in the Blue Room, I think we ought to regard the Chicken Choker's actions as a reflection on society asa whole. When we realize that as a community we all have a share in the subconscious pool of pain,guilt and fear which sends people to such lengths as the Chicken Choker has gone, when we realizethat all of us and all of our ancestors had a hand on the Chicken Choker's penis, then we can starthealing the wounds that force people to behave so perversely. ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 28 - Page 11 ---------- The Western Front April 28,1989 11 Letters Abortion quotes need clarifying Editor, I feel that mycomments about abortion as quoted in the Western Front article covering the recent debate betweenWestern Democrats and the College Republicans need some clarification. The central thesis that I was arguing goes beyond what was quoted in the Front. As a male, I am never going to get pregnant, thusmaking my "opinion" about abortion irrele-vani because I will never have to make the "decision."However, and this is my main point, ABORTION IS A PERSONAL DECISION. It must never be the rightof anyone to make that decision for a woman. The woman must make her own choice and should not be forced to make a choice about her own body by the Jerry Falwells and George Bushes of the world. The only person whose opinion is relevant is the woman's own. The position that I as an individual and a democrat take is that women have a legal right to their own bodies. The central question is not themorality of abortion but of the right for a woman to decide on that morality herself. In response to thequestion posed by the audience member who asked what my opinion would be if it were "my baby,"what I tried to say (however inelegantly) is that a person must be aware of the possible consequencesbefore they make the decision to become sexually active.

Furthermore, while I would hopethat any woman I would choose to have sex with would take my opinions into account, I still do nothave the right to make her decision for her, anymore than a governmental agency would have the right toforce her to have an abortion or not to have an abortion. In conclusion, I hope that any readers of theFront article did not misinterpret my statements on abortion. The statements quoted in the Front wereintroductory remarks that were a part of a larger response that included a long and forceful follow up bymy partner Debbie Halbert. It is too bad that her articulate responses were not included in the Frontarticle, as they were a much clearer representation of the democratic position. I hope that this letterhas partly cleared up any apparent vagueness or misunderstandings. Steve Murray junior, historymajor Mind allows us personal choice Editor, Abortion is neither a matter of birth control nor genocide;it is strictly a matter of choice. Whose choice has it become now? It is no longer a decision for a woman to make. However, she is the only one who has the right to make that decision. The church and statewere separated long ago to show that the individual had a mind to make up his own morals. So arewe regressing? Who do we think we are, telling people what is right or wrong for themselves? I am notpro-life, but what effect will my decision have on them? If I choose to have an abortion, that doesn't mean that the rest of the world will choose to do the same â€¢â€¢â€¢ It isn't a matter of having a childanymoreâ€”it has become a question of whether or not we have the right to make the choice. I do notunderstand all of these people being high and mighty, bluntly playing God. It seems that the issue,abortion, has been lost and has become, "Can we, the government and majority make decisions forothers and have them do nothing but conform?"

Hawes' problems, though extreme, are becoming common to many Bellingham apartmenttenants. The Associated Students sponsored a landlord/tenant panel-meeting Monday night at theViking Union because of the growing number of complaints they're receiving. "Sometimes 10 people aday complain, at least a 100 per quarter," said senior Jeff Egbert of Western's Legal Information Center.The panel consisted of Kevin DeVries, representing the landlord's perspective; Judge David Rhea, aWhatcom County Small Claims Court judge; attorney Sandra Fancher of Evergreen Legal Services,representing the legal community and Egbert, representing tenants. Although fewer than 25 peopleshowed up for the meeting, Egbert said those who went got alot out of it. Panelists discussed how tohandle repairs and maintenance, the return of deposits, documents necessary to prove an argument incourt, and legal and illegal evictions. All panelists stressed good communication as the majordeterrent to landlord/tenant problems.

UNI)Washington Mutual ^fyr "* The friend of the family* eludes paying rent on time and keeping writtendocumentation of all communication with your landlord. For instance, panelists said, tenants arerequired, in writing, to alert the landlord of needed repairs in the apartments. After the landlord hasreceived written notice, he or she then has a "reasonable time" to repair them. If the repair isimminently hazardous to life, such as a gas leak or loss of heat, the landlord must repair within 24hours. Also, the landlord has 48 hours to provide electricity or hot water, and seven days to make smallrepairs, such as inadequate locks and repairs costing less than $75 but not exceeding one-half of amonth's rent. A landlord having problems with a tenant not paying rent attended and asked when shecan legally evict tenants. Fancher said the landlord needs to send a letter giving the tenant a "pay orvacate" choice within three days. She added almost all eviction notices must give a tenant a chance tocorrect the problem. Other students, such as Hawes, wondered how to get their landlords to cooperateregarding repairs. Both Fancher and Egbert suggested Hawes call either the Department of SocialHealth Services or the city inspector because her apartment doesn't meet city building codes and isdangerous. If students have specific legal questions, the Legal Information Office, an organization of theAS, is sponsoring Law Day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday in the Viking Union.A lawyer specializing inlandlord/ten-nant, family and criminal law will be there to give free legal advice.

To begin at the beginning: on Saturday the 6th instant at 8 a.m. we were joined together in the holy bonds of matrimony by the Right Revd. Bishop Kip, who is a friend of Emily's people in Albany and knew her there. We did it very quietly indeed at the house of a friend where she was staying. We had no bridesmaids or grooms and, to the horror of all those who delight in descriptions of the bride's dress, Em was dressed in a plain travelling dress without ornaments or nonsense of any kind. Her sister and brother-in-law, the Bishop's wife, 2 couples, friends of Mrs. Grant (the lady at whose house we were) and Wm. Booker, our acting consul, as my friend, were present [page torn away] [Page 2] some warm sulphur springs here which first made the place known and which have in addition to the beautiful scenery of the neighbourhood made it a very fashionable and (in the season) crowded place of resort. As the season has been over some time, there are only one or two men here besides the proprietor, his wife, and ourselves. It is a very large and comfortable hotel and they do everything in their power to make us comfortable and everything is very pleasant. We have very uncertain weather, but generally manage to get in a good walk every day, with a ride occasionally for variety. There is good shooting all around and I take my gun with me sometimes. Yesterday Emily went 8 or 9 miles with me and enjoyed the sport as much as I did if not more. She has adopted Charly's Chamouni style of dress, i.e., thick shoes (I firmly believe her to be the first American lady who ever wore thick shoes) and her dress tied up with a piece of rope about 9 inches from the ground, looking altogether like a "buy a broom girl" or a sensible woman. If you remember in one of my letters I [page torn away].

Those members present were: Don Six, Barrie Brownell, Lenko Gazija, Dr. Critchfield, Dr. Van Aver, Larry Richardson, Bob Teshera, Kay MacKenzie, Lois Chudek, Dicl Walston, Rosemarie Oldow, Bruce Hannaford and Dave Northrup. The minutes of the previous meeting were read, corrected and approved. A special welcome was extended to the six members of the Collegian staff that were present. The first item on the agenda was teh report of the Elections Committee by Rosemarie Oldow, chairman. There were eight applications received for the open positions on the BOC. After being checked, six of the applicants were eligible. Those eligible are Tom Romerdahl, Bob Dunlap, Ken Moffet, Gene Langhill, Dan White and Dave Van Bronhorst. The two applications that were ineligeble were Walt Kauzlarich and John Sundquist. The elections committee discussed the elections assembly and thought of skipping it and thinking of a new way to introduce the applicants to the public. It was also suggested that it may be possible to use the voting machines for all ASB and BOC elections. Rosemarie Oldow that we accept the report of the Elections Committee. The motion was seconded and carried. The next item on the agenda was concerning the basketball schedule. Mr. Lappenbusch stated that he thought that anything in his scheduling that wasn't routine should be brought before the board and that if he didn't fill out his schedule right away, he would run into too much conflict with dates being filled out. He also mentioned that the schools in our conference were making out their 1957-58 football and basketball schedules. The main problem concerning the basketball schedule is whether to go to Oregon or to Idaho to play game. The basketball game in Idaho would require $250 more than the budgeted amount for the Oregon game which was $508.04. Mr. Lappenbusch also stated that if his requests were refused he wants them in writing so he will be able to show why he has not scheduled a game with the school. Bob Teshera moved that Baord meet as a Committee of the whole. The motion was seconded and carried. The chairman appointed Dave Northrup as chairman of the Committee of the Whole. Roland Sayler moved debate on the basketball schedule be limited to 10 minutes. The motion was seconded and carried. It was questioned that we might play a game with the University of Washington varsity and not answered that out conference has a rule stating we cannot play a Junior Varsity or freshman team. We also have a rule letting us play 26 games and we now have 22 games scheduled. It was questioned if there was any way to saving money from other budgeted accounts to make up for the extra money needed for the Idaho trip. Larry Richardson moved the Commitee of the Whole be resolved in regular board session. The motion was seconded and carried. The chair was yielded to Roland Sayler. Dave Northrup reported on the action of the Committee of the Whole. Dr. Van Aver moved that Mr. Lappenbusch be approprited $250 to take basketball trip to Idaho. The motion was seconded. Lenko Gazija moved to ammend the motion to read $210. The motion died for lack of a second. The main motion did not carry. 195511 Page 2 November 2 (cont'd) Larry Richardson moved the Athletic Director be permitted to transfer money from one budget to another at his discression. The motion was seconded. It was ststed that the Athletics Director was the person who actually scheduled the gamed and the Board only appropriates money. Larry Rischardson moved to ammend his motion to read for the remainder of the year. The motion was seconded and carried. The main motion was carried. The next item was concerning the football schedule. Bruce Hannaford moved that the BOC resolve into a Committe of the Whole. The motion was seconded and carried. The chairman appointed Bruce Hannaford chairman of the Committee of the Whole. Mr. Laapenbusch stated that he would like to have the football teams start going up instead of down, and to do that he believes that we should have more games scheduled. He used 1950 as an example for we had a strong team and played 10 games and now, as we play fewer games, our team is becoming weaker. There are 6 games scheduled for next year. Mr. Lappenbusch stated that the only school with an open date coinsiding with ours is Humboldt College in California. It was questioned if it would be worth going to California to play a game and get beaten by a huge score. Mr. Lappenbusch stated that when teams have less chanve of winning, they usually draw a larger crowd. Dave Northrup moved we meet in regular session. The motion was seconded and carried. Bruce Hannaford yielded the chair to Roland Sayler. Bruce Hannaford reported on the action of the Committee of the Whole. Bruce Hannaford moved that a five minute recess be taken. The motion was seconded and carried. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. It was questioned if the board had the authority to tell Mr. Lappenbusch where he should play his games. The board only allocated money. It was also mentioned that if the Athletic Director scheduled the game and then had to call it off that he would be in an embarrassing position. Dave Northrup moved that we rescind the motion which declined the request of the Athletic Department concerning the Humboldt game. The motion was seconded and carried. The next item on the agenda was conderning the excess of BOC pins in the Co-op. Kay MacKenzie moved to add to Article 8, section d of the Constitution- members who serve two additional quarters shall be awarded Board of Control pins as long as the present supply lasts. The motion died for lack of a second. Kay MacKenzie moved to the motion to read members who serve 5 quarters shall be awarded Board of Control pins as long as the present supply lasts. The motion was seconded and carried. Dave Northrup moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded and carried and the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Carolyn Brewer, Secretary (Nov 9, 1955 approved) ##

Western Washington University Volume 123 Issue 1 Bellingham, Washington Third offender placed near campus By Valerie Bauman THE WESTERN FRONT A third sex offender has been released and placed in the infamous house at 1000 Indian St. David J. Drake, a Level III sex offender was convicted of crimes involving children. He does not admit to his offense. Drake said he has had a hard time facing the stigma of being a recently released sex offender. 'Tm not a danger to anybody," Drake said. 'Td like to be treated as an equal. I'd like (the community) to know that I'm trying to build my own life ... I just want to be left alone." Thad Allen, risk management specialist for the Department of Corrections, said the department considers each sex offender's tendencies when locating a place for the offender to live. "I think of each of them as an individual with individual issues," Allen said. According to a press release issued by DOC, Drake, like the other occupants of the house, has a tendency to "groom" his victims, or get to know them, See HOUSE, Page 3 " Peter Louras/ The Western Front David Drake, the most recent Level III sex offender to move into 1000 Indian St., takes a moment to reflect on his time served in jail. "I haven't been through the easiest life," Drake said. "Since I was 15, I've been on my own." Statewide campaign prompts 50 DUI arrests By Cate Weisweaver THE WESTERN FRONT A quarter of the year's total DUI arrests in Bellingham occurred during "Drive Hammered, Get Nailed," this year's annual emphasis patrol campaign. The number of DUI infractions issued in Washington increases during the holiday season because more officers are patrolling for DUI offenders, Bellingham Police Sgt. Shawn Aiumu said. This is the first year Washington needed to use funds to create advertising for the "Drive Hammered, Get Nailed" campaign. In past years, the state relied on public access media.to create awareness of the emphasis patrol. Bellingham officers made approximately 300 DUI arrests in 2002, Bellingham Police Lt. Craig Ambrose said. Fifty arrests were See ARRESTS, Page 3 Whatcom County charities report declining donations By Andrea Boyle THE WESTERN FRONT In a wave of economic hardship, non- profit organizations in Whatcom County are suffering financially, although volunteer participation remains constant. United Way of Whatcom County partially supports 27 non-profit organizations in Whatcom County, said United Way Vice President Peter Theisen. United Way struggled to meet its fundraising goals in 2002, which means all 27 organizations will receive 15 percent less for the first six months in 2003, he said. "Across the board, non-profits will receive less from United Way, but we are doing our best to contribute as close to the same amount of money as last year," Theisen said. The American Red Cross is one of several organizations that United Way contributes to. This year the United Way will donate $85,000 to the American Red Cross compared to $100,000 last year. In December, damages resulting from high winds and flooding at Sandy Point and Gooseberry Point required the aid of Whatcom County's Red Cross. The Red Cross has provided relief for nine total disasters m December including several house fires, Public Support director Shelly Parsons said. The American Red Cross meets immediate emergency needs, providing overnight accommodations, shelters, food, medicine, eyeglasses and clothing. It also has an extensive education program including first aid classes, CPR training and public education teams. Last year an estimated 500 people volunteered or participated in an American Red Cross program. The decrease in holiday donations is especially frustrating, Parsons said. "It is a double-edged sword because while contributions are way down, that is when the need goes way up," she said. Western Red Cross Extension is a program run by Western students. The campus club runs its own program in conjunction with the Red Cross and requires all of its club members to be Red Cross members, said Western sophomore Kelsey Cartwright, the Western Red Cross Extension president and Whatcom County Red Cross chapter board member. The club has roughly 80 Western students involved. "We are always struggling," she said. "We have more ambition than money."

An unidentified person sent Lantiegne, who is gay, a T-shirt reading "NO FAGGOTS" and a handwritten note reading "Merry Christmas, you butt-fucker! Santa." The note was written on department stationery and both items were sent to Lantiegne's home in a department envelope. "When I'm around my place, I'm real concerned," Lantiegne said. 'Tm concerned for my safety, my house and my dogs." . This is the second time Lantiegne received threatening mail from within the department. In early February 2002, eight pages of pornographic advertisements were sent to Lantiegne's office in a department envelope that also contained an unrelated department memo. "I immediately contacted Capt. Bill Hebner (Lantiegne's regional supervisor) and told him I wanted something done about it," Lantiegne said. In May 2002, Lantiegne filed a report that led to an investigation, which was more than five months after the incident. Lantiegne's complaint was ruled "unfounded" and was dismissed. See MAIL, Page 3 Peter Louras/The Western Front Bob Lantiegne gazes across the bay from Boulevard Park. He said he often goes to the park to relieve stress.

AP WIRE NEWS BRIEFS STATE NEWS Burien man charged with murder of t h r e e men A 23-year-old Burien man was charged Thursday with first-degree murder in the fatal shootings of three men. A representative from the King County prosecutor's office said it was reviewing the case to determine if the charges against Tony Smith should be upgraded to aggravated murder, which carries a possible death penalty. Prosecutors said Smith was a drug dealer who went by the nickname "Pit Bull." The victims' bodies were found Jan. 3 in a Chevy Tahoe left along the side of the West Valley Highway in Kent. Smith, who is being held on $3 million bail, will be arraigned Jan. 21.

NATIONAL NEWS Foreign college students to register info with INS Thousands of colleges and universities must soon begin supplying information about their foreign students to a new Immigration and Naturalization Services tracking system. By Jan. 30, campuses across the country must be prepared to submit information on new. international students. Schools cannot accept new foreign students until they comply. The new Internet-based tracking system is called the Student and Exchange Visa Information Service and began as of Jan. 1. The INS already requires information from foreign students and their schools. Courts examine legality of executing mentally disabled killers An attorney for a retarded condemned killer, Daryl Renard Atkins, asked the Virginia Supreme Court on Thursday to dismiss his death sentence. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Atkins' case in June that it is unconstitutional to execute mentally retarded murderers' because it violates the Eighth Amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment. Because the Supreme Court's opinion didn't define retardation, the Virginia Supreme Court seemed confused Thursday about how to proceed. Assistant Attorney General Robert Q. Harris said the court urged to wait until the General Assembly defines retardation. Atkins was convicted of shooting a 21-year-old man in 1996.

Malicious harassment is a Class C felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Mack Setter, Whatcom County chief criminal deputy prosecutor, said that just because a law has been broken does not always mean an individual should prosecute it. "Sometimes letting sleeping dogs lie is the best approach," Setter said. In June 2002, Lantiegne transferred to Bellingham from Seattle. The harassment stopped until the December package arrived, he said. Hebner said his office would do everything it could to obey the law. "As far as any type of harassment is concerned, the agency has very specific policies to prevent that from occurring," Hebner said. "We are committed to providing a harassment-free and safe work environment." Many officers are as outraged as Lantiegne and they have been supportive of him, Hebner said. "They would do anything they could in their power to stop this type of activity," he said. "It's vile, disgusting and outrageous." . Lantiegne, who has been with the department for 19 years, said he wants to be treated with the same amount of respect as the other enforcement officers he works with. The Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Alliance sug- House: Released Level III sex offender struggles to begin a new life Continued from Page 1 before committing a crime. They have not "acted out on" strangers. For this reason, Allen said awareness of the sex offenders' presence is the best means of protecting the community. "We have continued to look for another option," Allen said. "We have been working with the mayor's office." The house the sex offenders - live in has room for two more potential residents. Allen said more people could be placed there, depending on the circumstances of the crimes committed and whether he or she would be alternative. The house is supposed to provide a safe place for the offenders to transition back into society and avoid homelessness. Drake said he is trying to develop computer and other job-related skills. He said the only jobs he has been offered are outside of Whatcom County, and, unfortunately, he is required to stay within the county. "It's going to be a struggle to make it," Drake said. "It's all uphill, but I'm going to keep pushing." Bellingham City Councilman Terry Borneman said he is disturbed by the addition of another sex offender because the DOC had originally admitted that this address was not the best location for newly released offenders. "The location of the residence is totally inappropriate," Borneman said. "It's one of the worst possible locations we could have." Borneman said the mayor's office is trying to establish a communal living area for sex offenders set in a more industrial area. Borneman said Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundsen is looking at one potential location, but the negotiation process is ongoing. Western junior Jill Reynolds lives on Indian Street next door to the sex offenders. For months she and her roommates have been communicating with the school, City Council and DOC to try to understand how these people, who are considered highly dangerous, came to live right next door to them. "I think everybody has rights, but I think they should broaden the restrictions for where (sex offenders) can live," Reynolds said. "I understand people out in a tent and a sleeping bag are more dangerous to the community than people in a house." Drake said he doesn't want to be labeled as anything, and he is frustrated that the neighborhood feels he has no place there. "I'm just 32; I'm out here trying to make a life," Drake said. "People don't understand that I'm just like everyone else." facing homelessness as the only mates alternative Charities: Despite dismal economy, charities in B'ham remain hopeful Continued from Page 1 American Red Cross. Cross works to make up the cut The American Red Cross has Much of the struggle to meet Dennis Much of the struggle to meet Murphy, a former in funding through other funding needs is indicated by the economic instability throughout the nation. The threat of war, the dip in the stock market and the ripple effect of Sept. 11 have caused people to cling to their money, said Maureen Enegren, the executive director for the Whatcom County chapter of the former president of United Way and now a professor and dean of the College of Business and Economics at Western, said the slump is due to a normal flux in donations that non-profit organizations all face at one time or another. Instead of cutting programming or staff, the American Red fundraisers and in private solicitations, Enegren said. United Way worked hard to continue to provide area nonprofits with as many contributions as possible. It cut its staff in half to limit what money goes into its business and continue to project money into non-profits, Theisen said. a strong volunteerism backing which is founded on 86 years of community giving. Despite the decrease in funding, the American Red Cross remains optimistic, Enegren said. "I am extremely nervous about'this year (financially), but I am also very confident in the support of Whatcom County," she said. gests victims of harassment contact the police or Lambda Legal, a civil rights group that works on behalf of gays and lesbians, LGBTA coordinator Emily Stansifer said. "The person being harassed has every right to take any opportunity they can to make the harassment public and to do everything they need to do to make it stop," she said. Arrests: Police patrol diligently Continued from Page 1 made during the season, which runs Nov. 18 to Jan. 1, six of them on New Year's Eve. In 2002, 227 fatal collisions resulted statewide from alcohol, Aiumu said. The consequences of a DUI in Washington start with a minimum probation of five years. Also included are fines starting at $685 for first offenses, said Dennis Hindman, a Bellingham trial attorney. Officers pull over drivers when they commit other infractions, such as an unlit taillight or inadequate lighting of a license plate, Aiumu said. Once a person is pulled over, if an officer smells alcohol on a driver's breath, the officer runs jnore tests. Assistant chief criminal deputy for Bellingham Peter Dworkin cited several criteria of a DUI con* viction: how people drive at the time they are pulled over, roadside evaluations and alcohol and drug levels determined by breath and blood tests. These three elements help determine a person's guilt, but all three are not needed. "Bad driving is not required to get convicted of a DUI," Dworkin said. m MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE FUTURE Become a literacy tutor and mentor. Work study and volunteer positions availabie!

By Jacob Block THE WESTERN FRONT A committee assessing the fire damage costs of repairing Fairhaven College met Tuesday to discuss the current status of repairs and projected costs. "The cost of repairs will be in the close neighborhood of $3 million, but no exact figures are available yet," said Director of- Facilities Management Tim Wynn. The cleaning process was a major cost, said Paula Rustan, Executive Director for University Planning and Budgeting. Western must also replace building equipment the fire damaged. Fairhaven College is still feeling the effects of the fire that swept through its administration building last November, forcing the relocation of many classes and offices. Wynn said he does not expect repairs to be finished before March 1. He said the majority of the funding will come from insurance, but the budget for the remaining balance has not yet been released. "You have to bring in all the costs and then (the insurance company) decides what they are going to cover and what they are not going to," Rustan said. The fire likely originated in a clothes dryer used specifically to clean food services uniforms, Wynn said. "We are hoping that there is going to be very little that is uncovered (by insurance), but we really don't know yet," Rustan. No one was hurt, but the resulting smoke and soot damage displaced 40 classes in addition to many offices, trapping important documents and homework in the building during the last week of fall quarter. More than a month later, only the bottom floor of the building remains accessible to faculty and students. Most of the damage from the fire was on the top two floors, which are now being gutted for repairs. In the meantime, a majority of Fairhaven College faculty and staff were moved to Old Main 530, as well as offices in the Humanities building, Miller Hall and the University Police building south of Parks Hall, Fairhaven College Dean Ron Riggins said. Riggins said everyone in his office really pulled together to make the relocation run smoothly. "We only missed one section of one class," Riggins said. 'It's the kind of thing where everybody just jumps in and does what they can. We may not be able to do things exactly the same, but we can reframe our approach and still get them done." One of the more than 30 faculty and staff members relocated as a result of the fire was Kristi Geris, an office clerk for the Fairhaven College Administration Office, now located in Old Main. "We showed up the next day with three computers and five phones," Geris said. "It's difficult to run an entire college like that." The second-floor dining hall is the first priority for repairs, as many of the 600 students currently living in the Fairhaven Residential complex rely on its services, Wynn said. In the meantime, a temporary dining hall was set up on the first floor of the building in addition to a mobile kitchen trailer and a dining marquee outside. Dining hall employee Shawn Cass noted the speed of the transition to accomodate students and Fairhaven employees. "It was kind of hectic the first day, but it ran real smooth," Cass said. Other dining employees were disappointed by the loss of shifts many suffered as a result of the fire. "We had to cut 20 percent of our shifts," said Tim Wheeler, a manager of the Fairhaven Commons Food Service. All employees can return to their jobs as soon as repairs and health inspections are complete, he said. A comprehensive list of all classroom changes and office relocations is available online at Western's home page. Additional reporting by Nicole Langendorfer.

Wander^ lt;Â§* into Western Gallery's "Walk Ways combines art with technology // collaborative art By Nicole Langendorfer The Western Front Conveying the experience of walking as a purposeful and meandering activity that unites bodily and mental freedom is the goal of the current exhibition at the Western Gallery. "Walk Ways," on display at the gallery until March 1, is a traveling exhibition from the Independent Curators International, which is based in New York. The 19 artists in the exhibit combined their physical experiences when walking, with literature and art history to express their understanding of walking as a metaphorical experience, Western Gallery Director Sarah Clark-Langager said. The artists included in the exhibit bring broad artistic perspectives from Europe, Canada and across the United States, Clark-Langager said. "We can't go every week to Dallas, Chicago or New York and see exhibits," she said. "So I try very hard to have exhibitions here that allow us to be exposed to a good mix of exhibitions in terms of themes." The exhibit features drawing, painting, photography, installation, video presentations and documentation brought together to create complex and thoughtful displays about the simple task of walking, Clark- Langager said. "I thought the combination of all the different forms of art together really made the exhibit interesting," Western senior Laura Jans said. "It was very different, but at the same time it really showed the artistic value that each artist puts into showcasing walking. It makes me want to go out and walk." The pieces were created by artists who showcase walking in either an urban or rural setting. "Each piece brings a different aspect," Clark-Langager said. "There are physical things to look at, and then there are other pieces which really use walking as a metaphorical experience." City-based or urban pieces use themes of tourism, commuting, surveillance and people-watching to draw attention to the little aspects of life that are sometimes overlooked, she said. The rural pieces focus more on interaction with, and exploration of, nature in an effort to show the beauty that can be seen while walking, Clark- Langager said. "The difference in the pieces was remarkable," Western senior Lindsay Mabee said. "I was impressed to see how much thought and imagination was put into showing different ideas of walking. I personally have never, really taken a metaphorical point of view about walking, but this exhibit really makes you think." The theme of "Walk Ways" is especially appropriate on Western's campus, Clark-Langager said. "You constantly hear people talking and complaining about how far they have to walk," she said. "Our campus is also very conscious of the benefits of physical exercise. This exhibit goes through the mere task of putting your feet down and plodding away. The exhibit lets you see the many ways walking can be beneficial to your life." Western physical education health and recreation professor Gordon Chalmers created a video presentation for the exhibit that illustrates the physical aspects of walking. ' "I was asked to design a piece that would compliment the art.and tie the academic world into the view of the artistic world," Chalmers said. The video presentation, which will soon be available at the gallery entrance, uses video clips from research laboratories around the world to examine movement through computer animation, robots and computer models of human muscles. "The video will remind what the physical aspects of walking are, and then you step into the gallery and you catch up with that physical exercise, Carl Weiseth/The Western Front but you also take it one step further Western sophomore Julie Goodwin wanders into the metaphorical," Clark- through the "Walk Ways" exhibit at Western Langager said.

Live performances have captivated him ever since, and reproducing that experience for others is important to him. "It's the mystery of the shows, the love in the air," Wilson said. "The feeling, you know, not knowing how to get home or if you're going to get in trouble with your parents." Wilson, a resident of Bellingham, has spent the years since that concert immersing himself in music and devoting his time to organizing shows. His upcoming project, the Third Annual Winter Music Festival and Homeless Benefit, is from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., Jan. 12 at the Mount Baker Theater. For $10 and a can of food, concert-goers can help the homeless and see an all-ages show with a lineup of various bands and performers. "We have a serious homeless and hunger problem, not only around the world, but in our own communities," Wilson said. "If everyone would help one person every day, the world would be a better place. I've been doing music for years, but if it's not benefiting anything, what's the point?" Wilson organizes and promotes the concerts almost entirely by himself. He said this year he tried to ensure the music festival would combine different kinds of music. Kutless, a rock band out of Portland, will be headlining the festival. Their single "Run" has been gaining popularity and receiving considerable radio airplay. Photo courtesy of Darren lyier Rock band Kutless headlines the Third Annual Winter Music festival. This will be their first concert to benefit the homeless. Jason Campbell, 32, who takes promotional photos for the winter benefit, said he is looking forward to Kutless' participation in the concert this year. "Their music is modern," Campbell said. "It's the kind of rock music that meets you where you are. It gives you something to think about." Wilson has also provided some folk performers for those who prefer a more gentle avenue to helping the homeless, including Seattle's own David John. Influenced by Tracy Chapman, Paul Simon and Rusted Root, John is a self-taught musician who relocated to South Carolina after high school. His southern blue-grass influences come through in his folksy sound. The music festival will feature Mario Lorenz's stand-up comedy act. Lorenz is from Tacoma and is better known as The Laugh Master. The show will open with an a capella performance by Lenea Patterson, an 11-year-old from Grants Pass, Ore. Wilson said Patterson came to his house just.so she could audition for the show. 'It's kind of a Northwest talent review," Wilson said. "I picked out the artists that I think could do well (in the music industry)." Thomas Wilson, J J Wilson's brother, said it is important for the music festival to remain open to everyone because youths are more likely to support a cause for the homeless than other members of the community are. "I try to do all-ages shows," Wilson said. "I know it's hard for these kids." Wilson said his memories of attending concerts as a youth inspire him to pursue venues that allow minors. He said he wants to provide an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the music and help the homeless. "I think Jay really has a heart for coordinating music to reach a larger group," Campbell said. "(The audience) comes out of it with something tangible to hold on to, whether it's a memory or an opportunity to think of someone else by bringing a can of food, or sharing what you have so someone else can benefit." The show's proceeds will go to the Agape Women's and Children's Home and the Lighthouse Mission. The cans of food will go to the Southside Food Bank. To date, Wilson has raised $1,550 and 500 pounds of food for the event. Gloria Leque, former supervisor of the Agape Home, said last year's Music Festival provided the organization with $1,000. Leque said this was a profound assistance for the shelter, which usually houses up to 16 people, and is not funded by the state. After Christmas, the winter months of January and February are often the most difficult for the homeless, she said.. "(Wilson has) raised a lot of money over the years with these concerts, (as well as) clothes and food donations," Campbell said. Leque said Wilson has helped the Agape Home in a unique way by incorporating the community into the event. "I think he's really trying to do something for the community," Leque said. "I love the place. I love the women, I love the children, and I'm anxious to see it continue." The University of Washington Athletic Department has donated a football autographed by the 2002-2003 Husky football team for auction or raffle to benefit both Agape and the Lighthouse Mission. A $250 acoustic guitar, signed by the members of Kutless, will be raffled or auctioned off at the benefit. Manna Music and Paul Rogers of the '70s rock band Bad Company have also donated a signed guitar to the event. Thomas said his brother is playing an important role in eliminating poverty through these concerts. 'T think it's a creative, imaginative way to bring the community together," Thomas said. '1 just love what he's doing. I think this year it's going to be awesome because he has the venue he wants, and more people have come forward to help with advertising." ---------- Western Front 2003 January 10 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ The Western Front Sports January 10, 2003 Western women chop down Lumberjacks by 27 By Niki Smith THE WESTERN FRONT Two of the top centers in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference clashed Thursday night at Carver Gym in the Vikings' win over Humboldt State University. Western's Susan Rodgers shut down Humboldt State's Nicole Lynch, finishing with 20 points and five blocks. "In this game we wanted to control Lynch," Western junior forward Jenn McGillivray said. "We also had to adjust to a couple of their players, which took their streaks away. We did a good job of moving the ball around on offense which opened a lot of options." The Viking women relied on their defense throughout the night, holding Lynch to 12 points. Western senior forward Stacey Miller said the team success depends on the level of focus and intensity. "Our communication is huge," Miller said. "That is the basis of how well we do. I thought it was good tonight. In the first half, the Lumberjacks used a full-court press defense,, but they could not rattle a potent Viking offense. "They came out and jumped on us with the full-court press right away," Miller said. "It even caught me off guard, but once we attacked them, they took it off." Miller and Western senior guard Megan Quarterman, each scored a team-high 13 points in the first half, giving the Vikings a 51-28 halftime lead. "We knew pretty much what they were going to run, and we had an idea of what we had to do and we just followed our game plan," McGillivray said. McGillivray's intense defense off the bench contributed to the Vikings' dominant first half. The Vikings, however, struggled in the beginning of the second half until head coach Carmen Dolfo called a time-out. "She lit the fire a little bitâ€” we were a little complacent," McGillivray said. "She told us to get up in' their face and I think we did that... everything else started clicking." In addition to Rodgers' impressive performance, Quarterman and Miller also ended the game with more than 20 points each. Dolfo said consistency on both sides of the ball are crucial to performing well in the GNAC. "We need to focus on a more consistent game of defense," Dolfo said. "I think consistency on (defense) and then our blocking out and rebounding is another issue both offensively and defensively." The Vikings continue GNAC play against Western Oregon University at 7 p.m. Saturday at Carver Gym. "I don't know what is going to happen, but I know we are in it together and we are going to fight hard and it will be fun to see where we end up," McGillivray said.

Western defeated PSCC 119-49 for its second straight win, improving its overall record to 7- 4. The 70-point pounding gave the Viking men their 18th consecutive home victory Tuesday at Carver Gym. "One of our goals going into the game was just to maintain our focus, not get sloppy, and make sure that we worked hard on defense and that we rebounded," Western head coach Brad Jackson said. The Viking men earned their highest win margin since 1990 as they annihilated the Puget Sound Anchormen in an overpowering offensive display. Western senior center Mike Palm led the team with 14 points, six rebounds, two blocks and a steal in only 13 minutes of play. "Palm had a pretty good game for not playing a lot of minutes," Western freshman point-guard Grant Dykstra said. "His mechanics were good and he did what we need him to do." Dykstra, one of six freshmen on the team, had 13 points and six rebounds. Western sophomore forward Maurice Tyree said he had nothing but praise for the freshmen, who scored 48 points. "The freshmen looked good," Tyree said. "Ryan Diggs is instant offense no matter where he plays, Darrell Visser's going to give us effort every time out, and as for the rest of the freshmen, their games speak for themselves." The Vikings' offense went to work early, igniting a 27-0 run five minutes into the game walking into the locker room at halftime with a dominating 60-19 lead. Â«â€¢ Peter Louras/The Western Front Western Freshman Preston Vermeulen makes a jump shot over a Pueget Sound Christian College opponent. "This year, given everything we've been through, this type of game is OK," Jackson said. "We have a lot of guys who work very hard in practice who don't always get a lot of minutes in games, so this was a good chance to get them in. And really, we just needed a game to get ready for a big game on Saturday." The Vikings begin Greater Northwest Athletic Conference play Saturday at Seattle Pacific University. "I certainly would say it is a good rivalry that has existed for a long time," Jackson said.

As indicated by the state's treatment of Department of Fish and Wildlife Officer Bob Lantiegne, simply having one law protecting homosexuals from hate crimes is not enough. The state must protect homosexuals from a similar evil: discrimination.. The state made its position on the protection of its employees clear last spring when it ignored Lantiegne's report that he was receiving hate mail from within his department. More than five months later, investigators dismissed the complaint as "unfounded." In other words, discrimination is completely justified as long as it is against homosexuals. If the state really wanted to stick to its promise of equal rights for everyone, it would have adopted a law prohibiting discrimination against homosexuals in 1988, the first time such legislation was introduced. Since that time, similar legislation has been introduced and rejected in every legislative session, said Mary Clogston, Washington State Human Rights Commission official. The Human Rights Commission investigates an average of 1,200 formal complaints of discrimination every year, Clogston said. The commission determined that 135 of the complaints filed last year had merit, meaning each complaint had evidence of illegal discrimination. The commission evaluates discrimination involving the workplace, public accommodation, credit, real estate and insurance, she said. Nine classes, including sex, race and national origin, are protected from discrimination by state law in the commission's investigations. Since the commission formed in 1971, Clogston said no complaint has ever been merited to protect a person's sexual orientation. To merit a complaint, the commission is required to identify a link between the reason a person was hurt and his or her protected class. Bob Lantiegne need only hold up the T- shirt with an anti-gay message mailed to him last month to prove such a link. Yet the only reason he isn't protected against discrimination is because the state refuses to acknowledge homosexuals as an equal class. It's time for state legislators to make up their minds whether they will honor and protect homosexuals in the legal system. A significant step was taken toward equality when the state passed legislation in 1993 prohibiting malicious harassment based on one's .sexual orientation. If the state will not protect a person's sexual orientation from discrimination, then they are not protecting the rights of all people.

Smokers at fault, not corporations Melissa Van De Wege COMMENTARY Twelve hundred people die every day from physical ailments caused by smoking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Lawsuits arise against tobacco corporations when people blame the corporations for a smoker's death. Tobacco companies, however, should not be held responsible for the death of a smoker. On Dec. 31 a federal judge in Oakland, Calif, excused tobacco corporations Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds of responsibility for the death of Frank R. White who died at 81 after smoking since age 14. In a lawsuit against the companies, White's daughters and wife blamed his death on Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds. Blaming tobacco corporations for the death of a smoker is pointless when he or she makes the conscious decision to smoke. Smokers must take responsibility for their choice to use tobacco, including taking actions to quit or reduce the amount they smoke. Although tobacco companies spend billions of dollars advertising their products, other organizations such as The Truth, American Lung Association and the Department of Health produce counter-advertisements that inform the public about the harmful risks of smoking. Each person is able to decide which advertisement to hold in higher regard. The Surgeon General also requires tobacco companies to place obvious warnings on cigarette advertisements and packages such as, "Smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and may complicate pregnancy." These warnings remind smokers of the consequences of their habit. Because of the addictive nature of tobacco, many people find that after many years of smoking, quitting is extremely difficult. According to the CDC, tobacco companies know that 70 percent of smokers want to quit but say they can't. Even smokers grappling with addiction can take action to break their habit or reduce the amount of tobacco they smoke. Organizations such as the Department of Health, American Lung Association, and the CDC See SMOKING, Page 11 Columnist's fast times in Far East Mike Baab ACT YOUR AGE On Christmas morning, while most Western students were opening presents, cross- legged, in the shade of the living-room Douglas fir, I was riding a bike through Kyoto, Japan, trying desperately to survive. My weapon for weaving through the malicious traffic was a bruised, magenta, girl's bike that was older and heavier than the man I rented it from. As I wobbled through the convoluted grid of Kyoto, constantly swerving to avoid the guided scud-Vespas the locals ride toward the tourists, my mind was on my deflated back tire and the high-pitched pleading of my front brake. Finding anything in Kyoto requires a master's degree in trigonometry, and the streets are about as organized as a keg-ger. It's not unusual to see pedestrians walking in the road, and cars occasionally invite themselves up on the sidewalk to perform passing maneuvers that make Times Square look like Ferndale. My father and I were visiting Japan to see my brother, who lives in Tokyo with a Japanese exchange student he met in college. We took the bullet train to Kyoto after we got sick of the anthill that is Tokyo. The bikes were my father's idea. When he told me he wanted us to teeter around an unfamiliar city on two wheels, I was against it. "Why the hell can't we just go to a museum or something?' I asked. 'If you rent bikes with me, I'll let you order dessert every time we eat out for the rest of the trip," he said. "OK, fair enough," I said, starting to stretch. Biking through a Japanese city is incredibly strange. I do not speak any Japanese beyond "domo arigato, Mr. Roboto," so the advertisements that populate the streets like beggars were little more than gibberish to me. The smells of Japan are more vivid than any of the sights. The passing restaurants and markets were a constant reminder that we were in a country that came of age without any Western influence. Japanese cuisine includes all kinds of strange creatures that I never knew were edible, and some I didn't even know existed. The food, mostly fantastic and occasionally terrible, was always, well, chewy. Everything in Japan is cooked to achieve a maximum Goodyear rating, and some of the things I tried made the dishes on "Iron Chef look like chili dogs.

The Legislature ultimately possesses the power to increase funds of tobacco control and awareness programs. Therefore, it has the power to help people make a wise decision to take the initiative to quit or not begin smoking in the first place. This has a 'Smokers must take responsibility for their choice to use tobacco... much greater impact than merely receiving monetary compensation for a smoker's death. Ultimately, the smoker makes the conscious choice to smoke, and therefore assumes responsibility for the physical consequences of smoking, not the tobacco corporations. Japan: Harrowing experience yields enlightenment Continued from Page 10 In Kyoto, I did not realize it was Christmas until about 1 p.m., when we whizzed past a Starbucks and heard a loud, Doppler-style snippet of "Jingle Bells." I looked behind me to make sure my brother wasn't too far behind, and when I turned back, I saw three women in front of me walking side by side, creating a slow-moving, Red Rover- type barrier. I rang my bike's meek bell to alert the pedestrians that I needed to pass, but they ignored it. I braked a little to slow down. The painful scream of my brakes, which sounded like an infant Godzilla by that point, did the trick. They parted, making way for the short, white dumbass on the lady-bike. I rang my bell as I went by. Somehow I managed to make it to Boxing Day alive. I nearly died dozens of times, and my life flashed before my eyes so many times it started to look like a rerun, but I had a blast. It was a rewarding experience, and I can't wait to try it in another city and on a more manly bike. Long after I have forgotten what I saw in Japan and what I smelled, I will remember biking through the precarious streets of Kyoto. I didn't want to do it at first, but I'm glad I did. It's easy to fall into the rut of doing only what is familiar, but it produces nothing new. When you're old, and you have forgotten most of what you learned in college, the only thing you will keep is the experiences you had when you were here. So keep an open mind this quarter. Do something that scares you. "Vbu don't have to ride a girl's bike or anything, but at least try something you haven't done before. And, if you can, try to score some free dessert.

Titled "Sustainable Built Environments in the Northwest," the exhibit opens today and will feature 50 buildings from Washington, Oregon and British Columbia that the United States Green Building Council recognizes, Western Gallery director Sarah Clark-Langager said. The exhibit will have posters highlighting the elements of Green design in each building and nearly actual-size pictures of PHOTO COURTESY OF , _ ^ , ,-, ^ JOHNPAUL JONES t h e featured architecture, Clark-Langager said. The exhibit is divided into five sections representing the five elements that define Green Building: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. The displays will highlight how the builders successfully implemented Green Building strategies, Clark-Langager said. In addition, each section will have objects featuring elements of Green design, such as a bus stop bench made of recycled plastic and metal. Jones's lecture is at 6:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center Mainstage and is part of Western's Distinguished Lecture Series.

The programs provided nearly 300 Western student-volunteer tutors for local school children. The college could no longer provide the $50,000 per year it cost to run the programs, Woodring College Dean Stephanie Salzman said. The programs included the Hispano-American Student Tutoring for Achievement program, the Native American Mentoring Program and LINK, which works with the Bellingham School District, and provided tutors for children in the Bellingham School District and the Lummi Tribal School. The groups are separate and have different mission statements, but Woodring organized and funded them. The college hired 19 Western student employees this past spring to work for the programs during the 2005-2006 school year. Salzman said she contacted the employees in July and alerted them that the programs had lost funding. Because the employees lost their jobs, see WOODRING, page 3 MISSING THE BIG EASY JARED YOAKUM / THE WESTERN FRONT Tulane University freshman Sam House enjoys playing basketball at the Wade King Student Recreation Center. Freshman's plans washed away BY LOREN SHANE The Western Front Sam House was not supposed to attend Western, let alone stay in Washington for his freshman year of college this fall. House was supposed to move more than 2,500 miles from his home in Seattle to New Orleans, where he planned to study pre-medicine and join the crew team at Tulane University. Hurricane Katrina, however, quickly disrupted his plans. House, a transfer student at Western, arrived in New Orleans Aug. 26 and reported to his dorm at Tulane the next morning. Just two hours after he started moving in, news hit that Hurricane Katrina was to roll into the city and the university would close that evening. "We were given two options," House said. "We could either go home with our parents or take a bus to Jackson State University in Mississippi." At first, university officials expected no reaf damage to result from Katrina and told students the school would reopen the following week. Based on what he heard, House decided he would stay in the South. "I thought the idea of flying home, then flying right back was not worth the money," he said. "I said goodbye to my parents and hopped on the bus." House and his fellow dorm residents arrived at Jackson State, where he said approximately 500 Tulane students resided in the gymnasium that evening. "The gym was more of a social experience," he said. "You're there A SURVIVOR'S STORY This article is part of a series about the transfer students displaced by Hurricane Katrina who are attending Western. with 500 interesting people from all over the country." After spending Sunday mingling with peers and playing games, everything seemed to be OK, House said. The mood in the university gymnasium quickly changed Monday night, however, as the storm made landfall and caused the school to lose power. "On Monday, we heard a loud wind hollering around the building," House said. "It was far more severe than anything I could remember from back home." see KATRINA, page 4 FASHION STATEMENT Victims of violence create dresses on display in Viking Union Gallery ACCENT, PAGE 7 STAR WIDEOUT BACK Western senior wide receiver Andy Olson returns from injury in time for Saturday's game against Central SPORTS, PAGE 8 SNATCHED STORY Albertsons wrong to yank Seventeen magazine from its shelves because of educational article about vaginas OPINIONS, PAGE 10 WEATHER Saturday: Rain Hi: 58 Low: 42 Sunday: Cloudy Hi: 60 Low: 42 www.westernfrontonline.com ---------- Western Front 2005-10-07 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS OCTOBER 7,2005 COPS BOX ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ campus.

The Seattle Department of Transportation installed a 60- foot stretch of sidewalk made of recycled tires in the South Park neighborhood. The rubber sidewalk is more expensive than concrete, but city arborist Liz Ellis said the rubber sidewalks could save the city money in the long run. The sidewalks do not crack, are more durable and the city will not have to replace them as often as regular sidewalks. The sidewalks also bend for tree roots, which could save trees as well. The Rubbersidewalks company of Gardena, Calif, produces the product. Eighty cities in eight states have installed these sidewalks, including Tacoma and Olympia. ^iiriiiiiis :;fbr:s1l^r^ wife Georgie as the pyvn^ ;:here:^erMed;:fem The Oct; 4 article tM Louisiana.Gov.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS Irish bookmaker pulls Last Supper billboards The largest bookmaker in Ireland has taken down nearly 90 billboards that generated dozens of complaints from the public. The billboards portrayed Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper table playing poker and roulette next to the slogan, "There's a place for fun and games." Ireland's Advertising Standards Authority threatened legal action against bookmaker Paddy Power. The authority's chief executive, Edward McCumiskey, said the company did not comply to its guidelines regarding taste, decency and religion. A Paddy Power spokesman said the ad campaign used images of places where gambling would not be appropriate. He said the Last Supper was ideal because it was "the most inappropriate place ever" for fun and games. Paddy Power put up new ads that read, "There's a place for fun and games. Apparently this isn't it." Paddy Power has had complaints before because of its ads, including billboards showing people betting on two elderly women using walkers to cross a street. Pope Benedict fast-tracks Pope John Paul IPs beatification Pope Benedict XVI has asked Polish citizens of Catholic faith to pray for the beatification of former Pope John Paul II. Benedict said John Paul's teachings and life should remain "important and contemporary." The pope announced in May he was putting John Paul on the fast track for possible sainthood. He waived the traditional five-year waiting period before the process could begin. The Vatican must confirm one miracle from after John Paul's death for him to be beatified. A second miracle must then occur after the beatification for him to become a saint.

The scholarships reflect the financial aid package the student employees have and do not amount to the money they would have made through the programs. The 300 volunteers have to find other programs to tutor through, Salzman said. Salzman, the student employees, representatives from student affairs and the AS board of directors met Sept. 20 to discuss future options for the programs, she said. LINK co- director Kathleen Dahlen, a Western senior in her fourth year of involvement with LINK, said she was pleased with the support the groups received at the meeting. "I was really impressed by how many people showed up in support of our programs," she said, adding that students, community members and faculty attended. Science tutors will continue to tutor American Indian youth with a grant from the National Science Foundation and the North Cascades and Olympic Science Partnership, said Charlotte Plog, a Native American Mentoring Program co-director =_______ and Western senior. She said that though NAMP is much smaller than HASTA or LINK, American Indian youth have a need for tutoring and mentoring, and the program will find a way to continue. Western junior Sandra Villarreal has been involved in HASTA for two years and was to be the co-director of the program for this year. Villarreal said that though she knew the funding for the programs was unstable, the cuts came as a surprise. A Sehome High School teacher called Villarreal to tell her students miss the after-school program HASTA tutors used to run. Some students who could succeed with the 'We know there s a need out there. Our teachers have been contacting us going, "Hey, what's going SANDRA VILLARREAL HASTA co-director and Western junior tutors' support are dropping out of school, Villarreal said. "We know there's a need out there," Villarreal said. "Our teachers have been contacting us going, 'Hey, what's going on?'" HASTA adviser Lawrence Estrada, director of Western's American cultural studies program and a Fairhaven College professor, said Woodring provided the funding as long as it could. Estrada cited inequity in public education as one of the reasons programs such as HASTA, NAMP and LINK need to exist, He said demographics are changing, and some students, such as Hispanic and American Indian students or those learning English, might need individual help. If students in these populations have mentors and can make personal connections with a college student, they have reasons to stay in school, he said. NAMP and LINK began approximately eight years ago through the Center for Service Learning with a cost of $3,000 per program per year, Salzman said. Salzman came to the university for the 2002- 2003 school year. Programs such NAMP, HASTA and LINK attracted her to Western, she said. During the 2002-2003 school year, Woodring used reserve funds to keep the programs going. For the next two years, the college tried cutting costs for the programs but went into debt running them, she said. Last spring, Salzman said the college hired HASTA, LINK and NAMP employees for the 2005-2006 school year because she hoped funds would come through and because the college applied for grants to get additional funding, which they did not receive. The college did not learn until early July that the programs would no longer be available, she said. Free Medical/Dental School Plus $1279.00 a month!

"They told us our best bet was to go home," he said. House had his cell phone handy, but with the phone towers down, he was only able to send a quick message to his parents to let them know he was safe. "I could talk for a brief moment and the phone would then cut out," House said. "My parents were scared for me but knew the school would take care of us." The governor of Mississippi, Haley Barbour, ordered the evacuation of Jackson State, and the state offered students bus rides to Dallas and Atlanta. House said he chose Atlanta because he thought it would be easier to fly out from. During his trip to Atlanta, House said he realized how serious the matter was. "There was no power on the streets in Jackson, and all I could see was the shadows of fallen trees and telephone poles," he said. "It then set in that I would not be attending the college I chose." Unable to book a direct flight from Atlanta to Seattle, House had to make connections in Washington, D.C., and Detroit before arriving home. Back in Seattle with only a backpack full of clothing, House had to decide what he would do for his freshman year of college. He said several colleges and universities throughout the state offered admission to him and other Katrina victims. When he heard Western was included, he knew that was where he wanted to go. "It's close to home, and I didn't want to move far away again," he said. "I have friends from high school up here, and I like the campus." Western gave House and five other transfer students a temporary home at Western because of the emergency-response team Western President Karen Morse heads, said Sherry Mallory, special assistant to the vice president for student affairs and academic services. "I'm proud that Western was willing to accommodate victims of Hurricane Katrina," said Kali Albin, Western freshman and House's girlfriend. "I'm glad Sam is here and safe." Mallory said she was impressed with the aid Western has provided for the six displaced students. "It's been great to see the Western community come together and help students displaced from Gulf Coast colleges and universities by Hurricane Katrina â€” from the office of admissions to associated students, university residences and departments across campus," Mallory said. "Faculty, staff and students have stepped up to make a difference." JARED YOAKUM / THE WESTERN FRONT House has found Western to be accommodating and has transitioned easily. While Albin and Mallory agree the gesture Western made in providing an education and residence to the victims of Hurricane Katrina was generous, others call it a necessity. "I don't think Western did anything special," said Anthony Norrell, Western sophomore and House's roommate. "Every university should open their doors to students who have suffered from disaster." House is living in Buchanan Towers. In his free time, House, who stands 6 feet 6 inches tall, said he enjoys working out and playing basketball at the Wade King Student Recreation Center. "Coming to Western has been a nice and easy transition," he said. House will attend Tulane when it reopens. University officials expect Tulane to reopen in January, but the exact date is not certain. "I want to get back and experience both the university and city of New Orleans," House said. ic Â» .WO" \ â€¢Vimmiâ€”ilb mmmmm ^^^ i *V Classes _ _ Learn H i To Make: Earrings PK Bracelets l/-1 Necklaces Cttll For Oct* fcefietliile I Historic Fairhaven. 1001 Harris B'ham.

The Wade King Student Recreation Center is a registered Green Building and is one of the buildings in the exhibit. The rec center has a reflective white roof for natural cooling, giant southern-facing windows for solar heating and a design that fits aptly against the hillside while preserving some of the existing trees, said Jeff Stern, senior associate of Opsis Architecture in Portland, Ore., and project architect for the building. "(Jones's) work unites land and architecture to create a larger built environment, and is sensitive to the people who will be using it," said Linda Smeins, Western professor of architecture and visual culture. An important part of Jones's buildings is the lack of sharp angles or perpendicular lines, Smeins said. "The use of 90-degree angles is culturally situated in Western tradition," Smeins said. Jones uses curved lines in all of his architecture to create a natural wind-carved look in harmony with his American Indian beliefs, she said. During his lecture, "Stand Inside Our Ways and Beliefs," Jones will speak about what inspires him as an artist and will show slides of his work, Maas said. Jones's lecture coincides with this weekend's sustainability-themed conference of the Pacific Northwest Society of Architectural Historians to take place on campus this weekend. Jones's lecture, the conference and the Green Building exhibit are part of Western's agenda to get students and the public involved in the topic of sustainability, Smeins said.

JACOB BUCKENMEYER/ THE WESTERN FRONT Local punk group The Contra will perform at 3 p.m. Saturday during The Gathering Festival at the Pickford Dreamspace. BY JACOB BUCKENMEYER The Western Front The growing trend of local all-ages music shows will continue Oct. 8 and 9 with The Gathering Festival at Pickford Dreamspace. Twenty-four bands, most from the Bellingham area, will play during the two-day event, festival coordinator Forest Wilson said. "It's just a bunch of bands getting together to play music and have a good time," Wilson said. "The vast majority of them are from here in Whatcom County." As Bellingham becomes more of a bar town, he said fewer venues are available for the under-21 crowd to experience local artists performing live music. "This summer, me and a few other people who have bands around here have been trying to build up an all-ages scene in town," Wilson said. "It's been kind of hit-and-miss." The event will include 12 bands Saturday and 12 Sunday, Wilson said. Daily tickets are $8, and a weekend ticket costs $14. He said the cost is not much more than the cover for an evening at a bar with only one or two bands. The festival will include bigger names, such as Jason Webley and The Ruby Doe, both from Seattle, Wilson said. The Contra, a local punk band, will take the stage 3 p.m. Sunday. Blake Owens, The Contra's lead singer and guitarist, said the band finds playing bar shows and playing for all-ages crowds to be rewarding. "All-ages shows are a lot more energetic sometimes because the audience is younger," Owens said. "But at the same time, if they don't know you, they might not be as willing to go out and rock it as the drunk guy that's there." Local band Pirates R Us will play at 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Pirates R Us tuba and trombone player Danny Vogel said he does not like bar shows and would be happy if Pirates R Us only performed at all-ages shows. Accordion player Evan Bridges said he prefers playing house shows because of their relaxed atmosphere. Ney said Pirates R Us plays for an audience primarily composed of pirates, alcoholics and nerds. "Probably our biggest demographic is nerds," Ney said. "Nerds who are into file-trading, CD-burning â€” you know, technological nerds." Perhaps the best- known of the local bands is Cast of Characters, Wilson said. They will play at 9 p.m. Sunday. Cast of Characters lead singer, who goes by Bucketz, said the genres the band plays include rock, hard rock, alternative, techno, funk, jam rock and reggae. "We try to experiment with different kinds of genres," he said. "It's kind of all over the place." Because the styles are so diverse, the band has no real demographic, Bucketz said. He said the variety of fans has contributed to the band's local success. "It's a wide range of different styles of people, from mullets to minidresses," Bucketz said. Wilson said he is expecting more than 400 music fans to attend the festival. "It's a lot of really rockin' music that I don't think people, especially people under 21, would have an opportunity to see otherwise," he said.

BY JEN WHITFORD The Western Front Spring 2005 Western graduate Caleb Young is mentally preparing himself for the premiere of his movie, "There," at 7 p.m. Friday at the Pickford Dreamspace. "When I show anything to anybody, I shake," Young said. "If there are 200 people there, I don't know if I'll be able to watch it. I might have to walk around or something." "There" is an adaptation of a novel, which Caleb's twin brother, Western senior Josh Young, wrote two years ago. "My brother was getting interested in film, so I gave the rights to the book to him," Josh Young said. "And I think my brother's a genius, and anything he does I think is great. To see him take something I wrote and make it his own was really touching." The crew filmed "There" almost entirely in Bellingham. Caleb Young said movie-goers will recognize scenes the crew shot in the Horseshoe Cafe, on a Whatcom Transit Authority bus and on Western's campus. They shot scenes outside of Bellingham at Sea-Tac Airport and Mountlake Terrace High School, Western senior and producer Lacey Lange said. Caleb Young graduated with a bachelor's degree in creative writing and began directing and filming "There," along with the help of Cameron Currier, 20, of Seattle. The crew, mostly friends of the brothers, shot the movie this summer from the end of June until the beginning of August, Caleb Young said. The editing, production and post-production lasted until the beginning of October. "We made the whole movie for $6,000," Caleb Young said. "It was my graduation present, basically. Everybody worked for free. We spent the whole time eating Top Ramen and working 15-hour days." The cast and crew consisted of roughly 20 people, mostly Western students, who worked regularly and several extras for a party scene, Caleb Young said. The book "Less Than Zero" by Bret Easton Ellis inspired the general storyline for the novel and movie. "I read Ellis' novel 'Less Than Zero' and wanted to write something similar but a lot less messed up," said Josh Young, Western alumnus debuts film JEN WHITFORD/ THE WESTERN FRONT Western alumnus Caleb Young directs actor J.D. Uhls, 21, while filming "There," an adaptation of a novel by Caleb's twin brother, Western senior Josh Young. Uhls plays Boston, the main character. who also is studying creative writing. The title also came from Ellis' book. "Ellis always talks about, in his books, how his characters are just there," Caleb Young said. "They're stuck with no ambition. They are unmotivated and immoral. The main character in the movie, Boston, is a lot like that." The movie shows Boston's life and what results from lack of motivation. Actor J.D. Uhls, 21, plays the role of Boston. The brothers do not know what kind of response to expect from the audience. "I don't know what I'll do if a lot of people like it," Caleb Young said. "I'm really nervous." After the premiere at the Pickford Dreamspace, they plan to promote the film and send it to film festivals such as the Seattle International Film Festival and the Ashland Film Festival in Oregon, Lange said. Caleb and Josh are working on new projects and plan to collaborate in the future. "I want to write, and my brother wants to make films, so it works well together," he said. ---------- Western Front 2005-10-07 - Page 7 ---------- OCTOBER 7,2005 ACCENT THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 PHOTO COURTESY OF BENNE ROCKETT The "Profane Sacrament" dress is part of an upcoming exhibit at Western symbolizing "intimate violence" for the victims. BY DEANNA HOLMQUIST The Western Front Some women use clothes to make a fashion statement, others use them to delve into a violent past. A national art exhibit titled "A Dress Speaks: Confronting Intimate Violence" will stop in Bellingham Oct. 10 through Nov. 4. The exhibit displays the work of nine women who created eight dresses, one a collaboration between two mothers. Western's Crime and Sexual Assault Support Services and Western's Counseling Center will organize the art show, which personalizes the trauma and healing of sexual assault victims, said exhibit coordinator and art therapist Benne Rockett. The exhibit will show in Viking Union Gallery 507. Unlike other art exhibits, the creators of the pieces are not artists. The nine women, whose ages ranged from 16 to 55, heard of the project and approached Rockett to share their stories and design dresses. The dresses depict each woman's experience with "intimate violence," a term Rockett coined to encompass incest and domestic violence. "It is a powerful way (for the women) to depict their stories," Counseling Center psychologist Joan Kimball said. "Part of the healing process involves symbolizing your experience â€” and not just symbolizing it for yourself." Each dress will hang as if a body were underneath, at the shoulder height of the woman who made it, along with a statement from the dress's creator. Kimball came across the exhibit at an October 2004 sexual assault prevention conference in Chicago. Drawn to the 3-D pieces and the uniqueness of "A Dress Speaks," Kimball and Sarah Rankin, Crime and Sexual Assault Victims' Services coordinator, worked with Rockett to bring the exhibit to Western. "They are creative women that wanted to use their creativity as a strengthening tool for recoveiy as well as to become a voice for other women," Rockett said. The exhibit was first shown in August 1998 in Austin, Texas, where the women created the dresses in private sessions with Rockett. aH Silhouettes give victims a voice PHOTO COURTESY OF BENNE ROCKETT The "In Our Silence" dress is on display Oct. 10 to Nov. 4 as part of the "A Dress Speaks" exhibit in Viking Union Gallery 507. In May 2000 the victims told their stories to 600 therapists, police officers and rape counselors at the first national conference on sexual assault prevention in Dallas titled "Coming Together to End Sexual Assault." Before this conference, none of the women had reported the crimes to police. "It's beyond inspirational when other women tell their stories," said Western junior Rhiannon Andreini, a member of Women's Empowerment and Violence Education. CASAS organized a reception with Rockett from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, which will be open to students and community members. For the first two days of the exhibit, she will give tours to Western women's studies and Fairhaven classes and groups such as WEAVE and Western Men Against Violence. Rockett hopes even perpetrators of sexual crimes will attend the exhibit at Western. In Austin, convicted sex offenders from a nearby prison came to the exhibit and wrote down their responses to the dresses. "Their stories at least indicated that they had no idea how damaging their behaviors had been," Rockett said. "I know in antidotal ways that these dresses change lives. People write to me sometimes five years later, still thinking about the exhibit." Through art, she hopes she can address the issues women face behind closed doors. The exhibit will continue to tour the country after closing at Western. TICKET ART COURTESY OF FREERIDE ENTERTAINMENT 'New World Disorder 6' captures freeride mountain-biking action BY GRAIG HILL The Western Front Mountain biker Dave Watson and other extreme mountain bikers teamed up in the latest "New World Disorder 6: Unchained" film, showing at 7 p.m. Thursday in Arntzen 100 as part of Western's first "Bike on Film" festival. The star pack of riders blazed the trails from Bolivia to the epicenter of freeriding, Whistler's Bike Park in British Columbia, in this year's installment of the epic freeride saga. Freeriding is a blend of cross-country mountain-bike racing, downhill mountain-bike racing and trail riding. Barbara Karabin, Western's cycling club president and Outdoor Center employee, said the film shows some of the biggest names in mountain biking, such as Aaron Chase, Wade Simmons and Robbie Bourdon. "Each year, they raise the bar throwing the biggest tricks and jumps for the camera that make it look like Hollywood-style mountain biking," Karabin said. Watson, a rider who stars in the film, will make a guest appearance to sign autographs at an additional 21-and-older screening and afterparty at 9:30 p.m. Thursday at the State Street Depot. Western's "Bike on Film" festival brings local talent to the screen in a series of independent cycling videos and film shorts, Karabin said. She hopes to bring the local cycling community together for the film premiere. "The goal of the festival is to get people excited and involved in cycling and help to gel the local cycling community," Karabin said. Anyone could submit a short video or film, less than five minutes, of his or her favorite cycling experience. The short films open the festival, and the winning entry receives a cash prize. The Outdoor Center, Kona Bicycle Company and Jack's Bicycle Center sponsored Western's festival and the "Unchained" premiere. "The young kids today just bounce back up, and they seem fearless," Western senior Eric Bortel said. "The progressive riders have become better and are going bigger each year. The young riders are hooked on freeriding and are following them. Today's trail riding is practically like motocross." The Palms' Rain Room in Las Vegas was sold out Sept. 28 for the film's world premiere at the famous hotel-casino during the Interbike International Bicycle Exposition. Karabin said -she hopes that "Bike on Film" gains as much popularity as past ski and snowboard film festivals at Western, such as the "Matchstick Productions" films that have moved on to venues such as the Mt. Baker Theatre. The "Unchained" screening and "Bike on Film" festival show promise of becoming annual events, Karabin said. " 'Unchained' is easily the best riding I have seen to date, simply phenomenal," said Mark Peterson, Kona bicycle's advocacy representative. "The riders do much more than push the envelope in this sport."

Western senior wide receiver Andy Olson will return just in time to suit up for the state's oldest rivalry. Olson sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during the second quarter of the Sept. 10 home game against St. Cloud University. The injury did not require surgery, just rest and rehabilitation, Olson said. He sat out the games against North Dakota University on Sept. 17 and Humboldt State University on Oct. 1. "I'm definitely playing in this game," Olson said. "I've been looking forward to it all year. Anybody who plays football wants to play in this kind of game." Western will have to adjust its game plan due to Olson's return, said Eric Tripp, Western offensive coordinator, wide receiver and strength coach. Western focused on.the run last week, racking up 223 rushing yards in the win over Humboldt State. "He is obviously our No. 1 threat," Tripp said. "We are going to have to find ways to get him the ball. When you take your No. 1 threat and put him on the field, it puts a lot of pressure on the defense and opens other things up." Western junior quarterback James Monrean said he thinks that Olson will demand double coverage, which will open up the rest of the field. "He.

"If not, we'll take him one-on-one." Olson totaled 16 receptions, 202 yards and four touchdowns in two contests against Central last year. "Central is definitely going to have to game plan for him," Western head coach Rob Smith said. Olson participated in warm-ups this past weekend against Humboldt State but could not play.-He joined in his first full-contact practice Tuesday, but cutting left and right will be his biggest challenge Saturday, he said. "I'm going to try my best," Olson said. "But if I'm not effective and hurting the team by being out there, I'll take myself out." Despite his injury, Western took Olson, a co-captain, on the trip to the North Dakota game because of his leadership value, Smith said. Western lost the game 47-7. "It was really hard to watch the team lose in North Dakota and not be able to do anything about it," Olson said.

He also set school and league records by catching 15 touchdowns last year. Olson remains one touchdown, 14 receptions and 540 receiving yards short of school records in each of those categories. "Hopefully I can bring more of an offensive spark and create some big plays," Olson said. Western won five of the last eight games against Central, including last year's Battle in Seattle, when Western overcame an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to win 28-21. Western then lost to Central 31-17 Oct. 30, 2004, in Ellensburg. Central won the first Battle in Seattle 29-20 Oct. 4, 2003, in front of 16,392 fansâ€”.a record crowd for non-Division I games. Western's record is 2-3 overall this year, with all three losses to nationally ranked teams, and 1-0 in GNAC competition. Defending GNAC champion, Central has a record of 3-2 overall, with a victory over No. 24 Washburn University, and 1-0 in GNAC play.

Seriously, this shit is getting ridiculous. Tourette's syndrome is often characterized by an uncontrollable urge to swear. According to the Neurological Association of America Web site, Tourette's syndrome afflicts only five out of every 100,000 Americans. Despite this fact, in a college town such as Bellingham, the majority of those residents in the age group of 18 to 25 generally tend to voice profanities loudly. Why college students feel the need to unleash this inappropriateness when they could easily avoid it is inexplicable. In some ways this should not come as a shock. Cussing has been a glorified art form since the fifth grade. Back then, cussing was about being cool. Apparently, this notion has not weeded itself out of students' mentality. Plus, how can students not use expletives when the words are so ingrained in describing typical college students' favorite activities? F'ing, or having sex, put lamely. Getting F'ed up, or drinking copious amounts of alcohol, in layman's terms. F'ing chillin', short for sitting on one's ass. According to ChristianityToday.com, cuss words are just words, but they are ugly, unwholesome words with no useful purpose. According to the Web site's mission statement, its goal is ministering to the needs of Christian men and women by communicating that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation â€” a transforming and vital force for the individual, church and society. So, those bitches know their shit. Those who support being foul-mouthed would say situations arise in which venting in a profane manner is not wrong. Such as when your parent forcibly drag you into church on Sundays. Using bad words is simply a sign that someone did not pay attention during the vocabulary section of English class, and therefore has a limited lexicon. Also, Jim O'Connor, author of the book "Cuss Control," says that since inappropriate words have a negative connotation, those who cuss are downers. Most of the swearing is a negative expression of criticism, complaining, grumbling or just plain negativity. Nothing decent can come of that. The bottom line is that, much like growing out hair, pissing in public, streaking across campus, drinking until blacking out, trying to inebriate pets, piercing and tattooing every possible part of one's body, wearing alcohol advertisements and getting naked to save $1 on pizza, cussing is just another fucking thing that makes college students look juvenile and immature.

" â€” Benito Mussolini, Italian dictator Â«Â£VBieÂ«rott-T Qualifications are overrated BY TRAVIS SHERER Looking Up How did I get this job â€” twice? For the past couple months I've worried about what's going to happen to me after college. Almost every week I thought of a new question to worry about. What kind of job will I get? Is it going to be enough money to pay off my student loans? Is it going to be enough money to get me laid? Am I gonna save any money on my car insurance by switching to Geico? But all of that worrying stopped this past Monday when Dubya nominated White House counsel Harriet E. Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court. This administration is proving that regardless of your past, anybody can become a nominee for anything at anytime, from president of the United States to Supreme Court justice. So pack your bags and buy a lotto ticket because it could be your turn next. From doing a little blow and blowing off your military service to having literally no experience in the job for which you're applying, all that matters is who you know these days. So Mr. President, let's just consider this my official application for U.S. Army five-star general. The way I figure it, why not strive for the highest of the general rankings? I have as much war experience as Miers has behind the bench, so like her, I see my confirmation happening before Thanksgiving. I know what those of you who actually read a real newspaper are saying, and that is that Miers has experience in the legal system, being an attorney and all. Sure, I agree with you. A sort-of- related experience is necessary, so let me outline all of my previous war expertise. First of all, my grandfather was a tank operator in the Korean War, so military skill is in my blood. I've watched "Patton" and "Apocalypse Now" just as much as the next guy â€” like every day. I've seen Martin Sheen hack up Marlon Brando more times than you can imagine. We can all agree that I've seen what the job entails, so let us â€¢ review my pseudo-experience. My mastery of the latest in army see JOBS, page 11 Albertsons closes Pandora's box BY ZACH KYLE The Western Front A tragic mistake has occurred. Contrary to popular belief and opposing all things decent, it appears teenage girls actually have vaginas. And some of the sassier girls have questions about them. But not to worry. For now, at least, the friendly Albertsons grocery store nearby has saved society from ruin by pulling the October issue of Seventeen magazine from its shelves in 12 states, including Washington. The scandalous article within is a Pandora's box titled "Vagina 101" with the devious subheading "From discharge to pubic hair â€” get to know your body better so you can stay healthy for life!" And the worst part: The article includes a diagram of a vagina, its various parts and two photographs of real-life vaginas. Whew. That was close. Albertsons is clearly The Vagina Authority, so naturally the supermarket chain speaks for all red-blooded Washingtonians. The battle cry is clear to the pornographers and whores of Babylon: The jig is up. The vagina is a foul and wicked instrument. No reason exists to bring a girl's vagina to her attention, at least not until she is legally married (to a man) or of an age when she can make decisions for herself. And that age is 37. To think, a teen magazine explaining such sin-induced blights as yeast infections and disgruntled urinary tracts. All wise people are aware that no good girl suffers from such preposterous and rare afflictions. According to the Food and Drug Administration's Web site, the risky behavior of wearing synthetic materials such as pantyhose and tights next to the skin or by wearing tight clothes usually causes infections. Only a true nympho employs such agents of seduction. Alas, the long arm of the Albertsons law could not retract every tainted issue from public release. Throughout Washington, sexual sanity hangs by a pubic hair. Earth hurtles at high speeds through space in circles. Babies are crying. Boys, rebuffed from watching late-night Cinemax by the family V-Chip, try to crack the code for the umpteenth time. Girls are feeling more comfortable with their bodies. Parents fume that a magazine cheated them of that bonding mother-and-daugh-ter chat. And they are even angrier that the schools have not played parent for them. Wombats are simi-see VAGINA, page 11 ---------- Western Front 2005-10-07 - Page 11 ---------- 11 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT OPINIONS OCTOBER 7,2005 Jobs: Bush, Martha Stewart and FEMA administrators are vastly unqualified for their positions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 training programs such as "Medal of Honor Allied Assault" and "Call of Duty" on PlayStation 2 are what put me over the hump. Through this extensive training, I have received so many medals I could go to Iraq today and put down the insurgency Van Damme style. All I need is Rambo's knife, Steven Seagal's girlish run, Arnold's one-liners and Van Damme's splits and we will have peace in the Middle East â€” peace with an attitude. All right, maybe I'm not so "qualified" for five stars, but that's the point. How many people do you know who are actually qualified for their jobs? Qualifications for jobs are the same as for relationships â€” we all have our ideal candidate, but you'll hold onto any resume until you find somebody better. If you're like me, you are surprised that all of those guys you went to high school with can even get a job because nobody is qualified for what they are supposed to be doing, and many of our leaders are no different. George W. Bush ran the Texas Rangers into the ground before becoming governor. The entire administrative body of the Federal Emergency Management Agency had hardly a day of disaster-management experience before Hurricane Katrina hit. Even Martha Stewart was a stockbroker before becoming a great homefaker. And how did they all end? With disaster. That's what life is â€” a disaster that nobody is qualified to correct, so they just fake it. So I wasn't really thrilled by the possibility of me becoming a general. I'm proof that it doesn't matter how unqualified you are â€” a million more people are just as worthless and successful.

The apocalypse is drawing nigh. Of course, hippies, feminists and other liberal breeds claim Seventeen is doing a service for its readership. They make claims that girls should understand how their bodies function and should even be at peace with their genitalia. The article begins with a 13-year-old girl's letter in which she asks if it is OK to have sex with her boyfriend. Some will claim Seventeen acted responsibly by replying that no, having sex while a teen is the wrong thing to do. These same fools claim Seventeen did not victimize anyone by printing pictures for educational and health purposes. They might say the diagram and photographs of a vagina completely lack the provocative quality of pornography, and that the short skirts and flashy halters advertised in the magazine are more suggestive and arousing. Seventeen should do what it does best â€” distract a girl's questions about her vagina by making her ask questions about the rest of her body. And, more importantly, what designer clothing to cover it with. Girls need to know what the appropriate and wholesome amount of midriff to expose is â€” and Jessica Simpson is the perfect role model. Girls need to know what type of quality gentleman to pursueâ€”Seventeen, thank God, shows them rapper Eminem is of that breed. Now that Seventeen is out of the corruptible clutches of teenagers, they will instead reach for more appropriate reading material for a woman-to-be, such as Better Homes and Gardens. Or Bon Appetite.

There will be no charge to see and hear the concert, but a silver offering will be taken to help out the biennial scholarship given by the club. Since the firsthomecoming concert in 1934 over $4000 has Virginia Haskins Sings In Auditorium Tuesday ByHELEN KNUDSEN On July 21 at 8 p. m., WWO students will be privileged to attend the performance ofMiss Virginia Haskins, coloratura, who has been dubbed one of the most versatile stars of today's musical world. This versatility of the petite Miss Haskins was borne out by her appearance in "Carousel" kinging"If I Loved You" concurrently with her role as Zerliha in 'Don Giovanni." * After studying three years underthe tutelage of Bernard Ferguson in St. Louis, she went to Italy with the famed opera star, Rosa Raisa,where she made her professional singing debut as Gilda in "Rigo-letto." She afterwards made herAmerican debut in Chicago and was signed for Mutual Network's "Chicago Theatre of the Air" on whichshe still appears. Her- program here in the college VIRGINIA HASKINS auditorium will include folk songs from various countries, several selections from the modern operas of G. C. Menotti, and selectedpieces ifrom Victor Herbert, Bellini, and F. Poulenc. It is difficult to realize th|at accomplished andpoised artists also have their "unpoised" moments. Such was the time when, keeping itrue to the oldadage about the *show going on, she kept on with the open-air broadcast of "A Midsummer Night'sDream" throughout a rushing downpour and was drenched to the skin long before the final scene. Butperhaps the event that sticks most closely to her mind as "one to remember," was the night of theopening of Prokofieffs "Love of Three Oranges" in New York, when the zipper of her costume sprung andfor a moment she thought she would have to sing "au naturelle." ["Luckily," she laughs, "I was hiddenbehind a prop rock near an exit and a stage hand managed to smuggle a safety pin to me." There will be no edition of the Collegian next week because of tests and the end of first term. The Collegian will beback in the stands on July 31 to give you entertainment and enjoyment.

Mark Flanders and his Stage Production class are building a set Out of old lumberand material to show just what can be done on a shoe string budget for high school and grade schoolplays. If you get a chance and want to learn more about the building and use of the set the class is insession every morning at 8:04 and usually in the afternoons someone is working in the new auditorium on the set. This is the first' time in recent years that a play has been produced during summersession. It is hoped that in the future summers more one act plays may be produced or that even athree act play will be used. This production is being done by special arrangement with Walter H. Bakerplays. â€¢ A master of style and superb technician, this versatile artist will appear in the auditoriumTuesday night at 8:15, as a feature of the Western Washington College Cummer Quarter Artist series. Advance rave notices well indicate that Mr. Johannesen's program promises to be one ofinimitable interpretations and dazzling technique. His repertoire ranges from Bach to Batrok,encompassing the great masterpieces of Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and others, as well asunusual works by Prokofiev, Ravel, Milhaud and Gershwin. Johannesen, who at eight was composingmusical scores and putting on theatrical entertainments, was born of Norwegian parents in Salt LakeCity.

Since thenhe has toured widely every season; being heard in recital in almost all the major cities; appearing withthe country's leading orchestras headed by the New York Philharmonic, San Francisco, and BostonSymphony; and duplicating the tremendous enthusiasm of Norh America in Europe and South America.

FORE! "Fore!"yelled Glen Glibb as he sized up the fairway in front of him. 1. "Better be careful," cautioned his partner. "Those people aren?t, out of range yet." There was a resounding crack as Glen drove, and the ball shotout low and hard along the right side of the fairway. As the players watched, admiring the fine shot, theball began to curve to the left, hooking toward the men and women in the fairway. "Fore," yelled Glenfrantically, and one of the women moved desperately to one side, ducking her head. The ball struckher arm. WARNING NECESSARY Glen was at fault. The players were obviously in a danger zone, andthe mere shouted warning was not sufficient to protect them, especially since their backs were toGlen, and they were proceeding ahead of him in a place where, under the rules of the game, they hada right to be. The player must reasonably foresee the likelihood of a "hook" or a "slice" causing injuryto others, and use care necessary to prevent such injury. On a golf course, remember, use ordinarycare to see that others are protected. If they are in a danger zone, be sure they know when you aregoing to drive. Never deliberately drive into the people ahead of you. more johannesen (Continued onPage 2) that year for the first time in France, Germany, Holland and Belgium. Last year he returned toHolland to record five concert! with various orchestras for Concert Hall recordings. His solo albumsinclude works of Schumann, Schubert, Faure, Poulenc, Beethoven, Greig, and the complete work ofChopin. Johannesen's first South American tour last summer was an un-qualfiied triumph as he hasbeen engaged for a return tour in 1954. Summer engagements at leading stadium concerts, including the Hollywood Bowl, round out his touring calendar and he is the only young pianist to be heard regularlyon the Telephone Hour. This radio program, also NBC's Standard Hour from the Pacific Coast andABC's popular Piano Playhouse, have brought Johannesen's exciting artistry into the homes ofmillions of listeners. Some of his own compositions were heard on a recent broadcast of PianoPlayhouse and many of his songs are played in leading music halls.

They break downinto classes as follows: There are 19 men and 24 women freshmen enrolled in summer school and about the same number of sophomores with 17 men and 25 women. Forty-seven men and 102 women areenrolled as juniors and 116 men arid 240 women are seniors.

People who havegraduated and are just completing farther study go back into the same trend with more women than men with 139 men and 188 women enrolled. There are 11 men taking special and 35 women. The latter forthe most part are not carrying an eight hour load. Of the totals 451 men are in summer school and 624 women.

Students Satisfied With Two Terms A week 'agoWednesday a poll was taken by the registrar's office on the summer calendar and if the students thought it met their individual needs or not. Below is a note from Mr. Ferris' office indicating just how the poll went. The student opinion poll showed over whelming sentiment in favor of the present calendar. Only 33 indicated dissatisfaction with the present arrangements out of over 400 replies received. The poll wastaken in the 11 o'clock classes. Although opportunity was given for students not enrolled in eleveno'clock classes to secure questionnaires in the registrar's office, none were so distributed. Theapparent conclusion is that the present calendar meets the needs of those now attending summersession to a great extent. Mystery in Ploy Based on Murder "Trifles" will be presented nextWednesday, July 22, in the college auditorium at 7:30 p. m. This is the final day of the first term and willgive you a chance to relax and enjoy yourself in this one act play. The play is a character sketch oftwo individuals, neither of whom appear in the play. It evolves around the question, "Did the woman killher husbandâ€”and if so, why?" The people in the play visit the farmhouse where this man has beenfound strangled with a rope. The action takes place in the farm house and gives you a good answer to the question of the death. There will not be an admission charge and the general public is invited as well as Western students. uuÂ» migcica, â€¢Â»â€¢â€¢ Â»â€¢-â€”â€” Marx tfluDHUI I Editor -â€” â€” .--.._. ~â„¢* T\3nAv that the cost will not be prohibitive W r i t e r s Helen Knudsen and M.

The motion failed to pass on the basis that it would cut any difference in earned awards nowin force. Kilpsun committee presented its recommendations for photography contracts. The Boardaccepted the recommendation for the contract for 1953-54 to go to Bradbury Studio for the followingreasons: (1) both contracts were similar in most' respects; (2) students would only have to pay $2.50per sitting at Bradbury's rather than $3.00 at the other place; (3) the other company desired freeadvertising in the Collegian under terms of the contract; (4) students may reorder last year's picturesat Bradbury's without paying the entire setting fee over again; (5) a source of income for the Klip-sunwould be through reorders. The Board further recommended that next year's editor* Arlene Mc- Kinney,be asked not to use cuts over again in the year book, and that faculty who have not had their picturesretaken within the last five years should do so this year or their's will not be included in the Klipsun.

The policy has 24 hour coverage including onthe jobs, pays anything over workman's compensation, covers students for the summer whether theyattend school then or not if they have paid fall, winter, and spring.

Well, your chance iscoming in the form of a personal visit to the natural habitat of this particular species. Saturday,August 1, will be devoted to the final hike of the summer up Goat Mountain. The mountain has been sonamed because of the wild goats that are seen and hunted on its rocky cliffs. Periods before and afterthe hike will be spent around the base camp fashing and loafing. Camp will be located in the Hanniganpass area along the river. Stearns Wins TV Roger Stearns, a summer student here at Western and aregular member of Western's golf team, walked away from the hole-in-one contest with a $500 consoletelevision set this week. Steam's shot was just 6 and % inches from the cup. Stearns had to "sweat itout" all day Monday, as he was the first golfer to shoot in the finals which were held last Monday at theCornwall park site. Another \ Western golfer, Fred Carbonatto, almost stole the show with hisafternoon shot that rimmed the cup but came out and stopped just about 3 feet away. This gaveCarbonatto a fourth place. originally built under the auspices of WWC and the Mt. Baker Hiking club,has been renovated in the last two years and will accommodate thirty people.

On pages 5and 6 of this week's edition, we are almost deluged under a flood of letters. They cover everything fromClough to the Administration to boys singing to girls' houses. All we can say is that this is one opinion-packed Christmas package. We would like to tie it up with some kind of ribbon, but we don't think there is any strong enough to hold the controversial contents. It remains our policy, however, to print all signedletters, even though some of them wouldn't look nice under the campus Christmas tree.â€”The Editor.western Washington COLLEGIAN Western Washington College, Beliingham, Washington Vol. LS, No. 10 - Dee. 12, 1958 No more reel changes: Legislature Moves to Acquire 'Cinemascope' THE STUDENTLEGISLATURE WENT ON RECORD Wednesday night in approval of the purchase of an anamorphiclens, a new projector and installation expenses that will bring cinemascope movies and continuousprojection to campus movies. "By not charging admission to these movies, we will not have trouble from downtown people and everyone on campus could be admitted free," Legislator Barbara Bos, said inexplaining her plan for taking a 25 cent per person fee from present student government fees andapplying it to the cinemascope plan. The Legislature approved the committee recommendation andappointed a special committee to investigate the plan further. Fred Boede presented the group witha W Club plan to obtain programs from the Coca-Cola company for basketball games, selladvertising for them and sell them to students. Profits would be turned over to increasing athleticscholarships. "We're trying to build up our W Club to something besides just saying it's there,"Legislator Fred Emerson said. The Legislature approved the plan and gave the W Club permissionto carry it out, AFTER LISTENING TO COLLEGIAN EDITOR Ken Robertson for 15 minutes, andhaving heard Collegian Adviser James Bliss the week before, the Legislature unanimously approvedgiving the power in signing Collegian requisitions to the Collegian Editor. "I believe students shouldbe responsible for student money," Robertson said, "The Legislature can fire me any time if they don'tlike the way I handle it." IN ONE OF THE HASTIEST PARTS of the meetingâ€”adjournmentâ€”President Al Jung announced that next quarter the Student Union Committee would be junked andreplaced by a "Union Board" to be headed by Joe Malik, and that the ASB Executive was instituting aCodified Revision Committee that would advise the administration on the legal aspects of powersand commitments of the ASB. Bruce Hannaford, a graduate student, will head the committee. "Wait aminute, Mr. President; before we adjourn don't we approve of these things?" Legislator Dave Amosbroke in. "Next meeting," Jung stated and adjourned the legislature until next quarter. Curtain Rises onDrama of 'Suspense and Love' Tonight THE LEGEND of Barbara Allen will come to life tonight andtomorrow night in the Music Auditorium, as the curtain rises on "Dark of the Moon." Curtain time is8:15 p.m. This play, a story of a witch boy who wants to become human so he can court BarbaraAllen is a combination of music, dance and drama. It combines the elements of conflict, suspenseand love to make the story, as Dr. Gregory recently s t a t e d , "One of the most unusual and mostexciting plays to be given here at Western in recent years." The combination of unusual and interestingstage settings should also add to the excitement of the play, and making it a show worth seeing. I N TE R P R E T I N G SMOKEY MOUNTAIN life has been the goal of Richardson and Burney, the twoSouth Carolinan authors of "Dark of the Moon." In the play they have set forth a standard of living verydifferent from that of our own, one A scene from 'Dark of the Moon.' which may be criticizedâ€”oraccepted by open minded people for what it isâ€”a standard of a class below that which we normallyaccept. Tickets for the production can be obtained all day today at the box office in the A-M Building.Tickets will also be available to students this evening and tomorrow evening upon presentation of theirASB cards. For those other than students and faculty there will be a. one dollar admission charge. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1958 December 12 - Page 2 ---------- Page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN December 12, 1958 Western hosts press conference:Paper Responsible to Students Not Gov't; Jung Tells Editors Nearly 50 newspaper and annual staffmembers from all annual representatives lt; " 7 ' ' Â° ' ' ' p n President Al Jung say that ued theiranalysis of "â€” a over Washington State heard ASB a newspaper editor is responsible to his readers,not his govern ment, as he welcomed delegates to the fifth annual Evergreen State Press AssociationConference held in Bellingham Friday and Saturday The total delegation of approximately 45 studentsfrom colleges state heard speeches by Northwest and universities throughout the publications personnel, both collegiate and professional, and discussed publications problems in annual and newspaperseminars. Meeting at the Bellingham Hotel on Friday and Saturday, the group moved to the campus forthe Saturday afternoon sessions. Because of the weather, several of the delegations from east of themountains left late Saturday afternoon. ASB PRESIDENT AL JUNG welcomed the representativesFriday and spoke of the mutual responsibilities and communication necessary to both the studentpress and student government. The student press, Jung stated, is not responsible to its studentgovernment but to its student readers. Both student government and the student press should try tofoster public and individual expression among students. Herald City Editor Bill Fowler spoke to thenewspaper representatives on the general quality of their papers and then dealt specifically with . e a c h . . paper. Fowler commented; that , he "believed that many of the limitations to be found in collegenewspapers were the result of very restricted budgets and, consequently, limited space, rather than to a lack of talent." On the whole, he considered the efforts quite good. A PROFESSIONAL REPORTER,Larry Hildebrand, also of the Herald, spoke to the group as future journalists late Friday afternoon.Talking informally, he answered questions about profesisonal journalism and compared it toCollegiate work. Also on Friday afternoon, Clyde Robinson, manager of Student Publications at theUniversity of Washington, spoke to annual representatives. He discussed the reason why theUniversity had elected to have their yearbook published by a firm in Texas rather than a local one. Mainly the switch was due to the increased services which the Texas company offered and a lower bid bysome $4,000. Following Robinson's talk, the annual group heard James Abbott of Seattle's CraftsmanPress explain the advantages of Photolithographic Printing. MAIN SPEAKER AT the banquet, WallieFunk, Editor of the Anacortes American, presented the newspaper plaque to Wayne Ehlers, ManagingEditor of the Collegian. Dr. O'Brien of the English Department, made the annual award. On SaturdayMiss Bonnie Wiley from Central led a seminar on Newspaper features, and continued the judging decisions made on the annuals. Later in the morning Rogan Jones spoke to the entire group on his trip to Russia, and the Russian newspaper and T-V. THE NOON BANQUET at Edens Hall wasattended by Dr. W. W. Haggard, Western president, who spoke briefly to the group on the college andtheir student bodies' problems and challenges which will have to be met in the near future. Highlight ofthe last session was a discussion of the freedom of the press, preceded by a brief statement ofpositions by Western Legislator Jack Rabourn and Wayne Ehlers. At the same time Letterpressprinitng was discussed by Kenneth Miller of Western Engraving in Seattle. His talk was followed bycomments on annual photography by Russ Clift of Jukes Studio in Bellingham. DON DANIELS ofEastern and Linda Bruns of Whitworth were elected by the assembly to succeed Ken Robertson andFaith Hearsey as 1959 ESPA Director and Secretary.

Publicity has been built up around these aspectsof the play: it will feature hill folk, the main character is a "witchboy," it is a story of love and suspense,"witchboy" is supposed to fly from a mountain on stage. The staging of the play, the preparation, thedirection are things playgoers do not see, however. But they are the things that make the play.

To get this story in pictures, the Collegian sent photographerJohn Zuanich behind the curtain to capture what we think are some unusual pictures. They show theexpresion, the off-guard moment, the people you will not see on stage, the ivhole drama that takes placeweeks ahead of the presentation of a play, which is only the quintessence of days and hours of workcrystallized into a final, brief, fezo hours.

The original bid forconstruction of the SUB did not call for this additional section. David Laster, chairman of the . Student Union Committee, and Harold Goltz, director of Student Activities, have requested the contractors tomake material and structural changes which will result in the reduction of --' the cost of the building. yThe cost cuts include a savings of $5,560 made possible by changing accoustical plaster to accousticaltile throughout most of the building. The elimination of all Mag-nasite Terrazzo floors except in thelobby and on the front stairs will save $7,000. "WE HAVE HAD WONDERFUL cooperation from thecontractors in making changes in building costs without destroying the quality and characteristics of thebuilding," Goltz said. The added publications area will now be able to provide room for a new CollegianOffice, as well as space for the other publications, such as The Profile, The Writer, The Navigator, and The Klipsun. A darkroom and other photographic facilities will be included. UNDER A" 300-DAYcontract, the construction of the SUB, which waa begun on Nov. 3, is scheduled to be finished on Aug.28, 1959. Interior Designer Douglas Bennett is working in collaboration with Architect Fred Bassetti.Bennett is deciding upon the interior decorations now instead of waiting to plan the furnishings whenthe building is completed. Substituting as a ballroom, the main lounge will have colored thermostatic-controlled lights, which can be raised or lowered, brightened or dimmed. Bennett is designing the lounge furniture and features in conjunction with these electrical lights. "If they ever get a cinemascope lensfocused on this part of the campus . . . wow!" 'No More Breaks in Movies,9 ASB Veep Says Deck theHalls with Advertising' THE ASB SOCIAL BOARD is considering the purchase of an anamorphic lensadapter, a cinemascope screen and a new arc projector for continual movie projection. Of course thisproject will be expensive. The anamorphic lens adaptor zootdd cost approximately $220, thecinemascope screen (size 14' x 30') would run about $450 and the new arc projector, being the mostexpensive, would cost about $1,500. Installation cost of all would be $300. The present projector hasundergone a complete overhaul and at the present time is in excellent condition. The question thenwould be, are you students satisfied with the present system of movies? At the present Western has an adequate movie program. This means we have a popular price and fairly good selection of movies, butthey are one, two or three years old. To strive for an even better program, we can not maintain the status quo. The second projector would give Social Board movies a theater-like showing. No breaks would bepresent â€” each film would be shown straight through. Is this an item we can do without?Cinemascope is a coming thing on several Washington college campuses. Central WashingtonCollege has installed this program and it is working out very well. The rental of cinemascope films would not cost any more than what we pay at the present time for our films. The only additional cost wouldmost likely be five or ten cents per student to make allowances for wage increases for studentemployees which goes into effect' next year. THEN, W E S T E R N STUDENT BODY, shall wespend approximately $2,500 for the, entire program? Can we do without the additional arc projector? We would appreciate hearing from you.â€”Kirb Cleveland AIR CONDITIONED the ALPINE CAFETERIA 1223 Cornwall B. B. Has the Selection FURNITURE HOUSEWARES APPLIANCES EASYPAYMENT SERVICE Corner of Bay and Prospect Christmas is just about here, the snow is (was, atleast) falli n g , bells are ringing, and everyone is of good cheer-especially people with a product tosell. Those people, the manufacturers and others who take advantage of Christmas to push a product,are the target of Stan Freberg, a master of sarcasm, who takes a king-sized swing at those whocommercialize the Yule-tide season on a new record called GREEN CHRISTMAS. This new release is a 6 minute, 50 second blast by Freberg, with the Jud Conlon (never heard of them) Chorale and BillyMay's band, at those who utilize November and December to make a holly-wreathed buck. The record is chock-full of priceless barbs: "Christmas has two S's in it, and they're both dollar signs," criesFreberg in answer to one who suggests that Christmas might have some other significance than acommercial one. "Words to live by," gloats Scrooge, played by Freberg, "Christmas is something totake advantage ofâ€”jump on the red and green bandwagonâ€”a sentimental shot in the arm forsales!" "Deck the halls with advertising, What's the use of compromising?" scheeches the Choralewith glee. And so it goes. The public can take its hat off to Stan Freberg, an advertising man himself, for expressing the general ill feeling towards the massive prostitution of a pretty important birthday. Whiletalking about records, I may as well bring up another record of a different vein. The record is an AngelRecording, T H E R U S S I A N A R MY You're ALWAYS Next! HALVERSON'S BARBER SHOP 125North Coinercial Bellingham Hotel Building "We must put the College on the map, men. This is it. 'Give a student for Christmas/ Tremendous, eh men?" CHORUS AND BAND. At the risk of being named a"pink," I want to say that this record is excellent. The Chorus is magnificent and polished, the bandplays with authoritativeness and finesse. The band and the chorus work as a unit, and the listener isoverwhelmed by the marvelous total sound generated by this] team. The selections are mainlyRussian and Ukranian folk songs, but as this performance was given in London, the Russians comeacross with two well known English songs as well. One of the very impressive numbers is the oldfavorite, "The Volga Boatmen." This one gives the chorus a real chance to show their stuff, and they do.THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE came when I heard this group take off on "It's A Long Way to Tiperary"; tosay the least, I was impressed. At the end of this cut I zoas looking for a dotted line to sign my nameon. The listener can still feel the glint in the eyes of the Russians as they outdo the English on theirown song.

Y C1 Â£Perhaps is is only because the Bellingham Police Department is trying to enforce the law, and Whilewalking past the playfield in front of the Campus School perhaps it is only because college students areoversensitive about receiving parking tickets or t h e o t h e r d a y I *** t n e siris' field ^ k e y team inaction. From the being arrested on their way to mail a letter. If this is the case, then some of the lawsshould be changed or at least made public more often. A college student we know was walking innocently down the street this quarter when he was taken to the Police Department and accused of molesting agirl. His grilling was not pleasant. More students we know are having trouble finding places to park theircars and when they park them in 'no parking' areas at night where they have never received tickets before, they suddenly find themselves receiving parking tickets, even when their parking is not obstructing trafficor harming anyone. The arrests and tickets may all be within the law, but it is certainly not a way for thePolice Department to win friends and influence people. GENERALLY, POLICEMEN IN THIS CITY AREUNDERSTANDING and nice people. Lately their actions appear as a crusade to gain money for the city.We say "appear." Perhaps they are only up here because alarmists in this part of the city have atendency of calling the police whenever they hear a strange noise. There seem to be too many prissypeople who would not allow college students to have a little normal, human fun,, sometimes, especiallywhen the fun is actually hurting no one. If the city and the people in it do not understand that youngpeople do not yet have the "maturity" to conduct themselves always as if attending a funeral, then theyshould import a seminary or establish a few more mortuaries in their town. At any rate, the interest of thePolice Department is not what we are talking about when we students of Western invite the interest of thecity in our affairs and activities.

Or, is he trying to say that anyone who backs the legislature isinsignificant? Is this the paper's latest way of improving public relations? It seems as though Cloughcan hand out criticism but is a little too thin-skinned to take it! Oh yes, has anyone on the Collegianstaff besides Dave Amos ever heard of original humor? We're glad Clough labels his "jokes" as such!We're also wondering why the paper allows Clough to write for it. We've all seen better examples ofwriting in high school.

It is this editor's belief that because of thatalone there should be something in their college newspaper that they can turn to and enjoy and feel isspeaking for them. Why do we of the Collegian print the Column of Neil Clough? That is a question that is being asked more violently than ever these days, and we do have an answer. The president of theAssociated Students Friday stated that the newspaper editor's responsibility is not to the studentgovernment, but to the student readers. This is a point we have long believed in and battled over, and areabsolutely overjoyed that at long last someone has joined our side who is not necessarily on our side allthe way. We print the column of Neil Clough because we believe he and his opinions are representative of a majority of the students at Westernâ€”the students who do not take part in government, who do noteven attend legislature meetings, who have little to say in anything that goes on around the College, who do not seem to matter to many people in high offices. But they are here and they have opinions. Thesepeople matter to us. They are our readers. or 0 Dear Editor: AFTER READING Mr. Opper-man's letter to the editor of last week I felt it my duty to come to the aid of Neil Clough. It is my opinion, but I feel I can safely say that it is the opinion of 75 to 80% of the student body that Mr. Clough's column has broughtnew light to the Collegian. In the three years I've been at Western Neil Clough is the first guy with gutsenough to stand up and say what he thinks FOR SOMEONE WHO quite often abounds in rude, purelyemotional, and often unfounded criticism, he has little room to speak. I hope that during his studentteaching (which he is doing now) he doesn't pass this irresponsible attitude on to the children. By theway, Mr. Clough, I am not a member of the Legislature and I'm not in need of measurements for ablazer. But I am one of several who have been disgusted with your column since its inception.ROBERT WHEELER 'Thank the Boys For the Sernade To the Editor: KLUANE HALL WOULD like toClough's column is certainly not grounded on fact or even on good "journalism." It is a column of opinionand that has always been stated. In contrast to it, we offer a column by the ASB Executive, the news ofthe college, the solid facts on our other pages, and even editorial opinion that solidly differs with Mr.Clough. But for us to ignore the average studentâ€”the one who really pays for this paper and itspublication-would be a reversion to the past when cliques controlled everything and only they hadnewspaper space to continually harangue on points that interested nobody but themselves. Mr. Clough's criticism may be rude, but often the truth is rude. His opinions may not be fact, but who can say what isfact, and how many can say that people in public offices always speak the truth when all many of themever utter are platitudes and harmless philosophies to content people who do not know what is goingon, because what is really going on is kept from them? Mr. Clough may offend the pleasant attitudes and the "nice" atmosphere on our campus, but the pleasant and the nice are not the only facts of life. Thejokes and criticisms he writes may not be original or nice or pleasant, but they are what people think and say everyday, and when one cannot print what he thinks or says, then the printed word will neverrepresent anything but an emasculated, distorted picture of our life and times. We believe that themajority of our readers want his column to continue and until that belief is changed it will continue. To ushe represents the students who pay for publication of the Collegian. Not just the people in office, or thepeople who complain about anything they do not consider "nice." We may not always agree with what he says, but we defend his right to say it. He occupies only a small space in our paper compared to thecountless people who are always saying the same old things. Never before has this editor been told byso many students that they like something in the Collegian as those who tell him about Clough's column. By the way, if you do not like his column, why do you read it? â€”KEN ROBERTSON WW CollegianEntered as second class matter at the post office at Bellingham, by virtue of the act of March 8. 1879.Second Class Postage Paid at Bellingham.

Retain the "status quo"and Western will retain its static position which seems to be the aim of certain members of theadministration and the administrative policy. I would like to ask Dr. Haggard, does Western have anArts and Science Program? The college catalogue implies that it does, but the Placement Office does not seem to be aware of the fact. Wednesday night several of the Arts and Science seniors attendeda meeting in which "ALL seniors are urged to attend" only to find one hour and fifteen minutes devoted to placing teachers and not one mention of placement for the Arts and Science graduate. About 20% ofthe student body are enrolled in the Arts and Science Program. Are all of these people to be exposed toa system which is the outgrowth of the Education Curriculum? Whether in an education or non-education course, the emphasis is placed on the situation we will face as a graduated teacher. IWISH TO EXPRESS the student's appreciation to Mr. O'Neil for the wonderful job he is doing ondistributing information on scholarships available to Western graduates. On more than one occasionhe has implied that the Western student is not capable of being granted a good scholarship. Hemay be right. I cannot remember tlie lasi, recipient of a Rhodes orâ€¢ Fulbright awardâ€”or could it bethat the qualified students are not made aware of their availability. It is encouraging to find that thePuritan ideology is still retained at Western. It seems that n o t b e h e r e - However, I and manycigarette advertising is to be others are fed-up with the prevailing frowned upon in the COLLEG- graduatehigh school attitude. If IAN. We are all aware of the t n e college catalogue is to continue fact that theWestern student to l i s t a n Axts a n d Science Program, does not smoke, and can evi- l e t i t s effectbe felt in the academic dence this hyprocisy in the form realm and not only verbiage in a of the cigarettemachine in the Publication. We want a college student lounge. It is also grati- w h i c h We c a n n a m ew i t h Pr i d e i n" fying to note, Dean Powers, that s t e a d o f hanging our head in shame a certainlocal dining room is a n d stating we are from Bellingham not an approved college meeting ^o r m a l -place because it has a bar in the same building. Are you aware, Miss Powers, that Western has thereputation of a drinking school? WE IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCE Curriculum consider Western to be a good school or we would I challenge the Administration to publicly express their views on theseissues. Do you, the liberal arts students of Western, agree with me? I am interested in your views andI'm sure the Administration is also. LARRY McCORD Since this will be taken as a seriouslycontroversial letter, it seems well to state here that letters to the editor do not reflect the opinion of theCollegian or the College.â€”Editor I T HAS BEEN I^OVBP AND SECONDED THAT WE SEffATQCS BEEXEMPT FROM -SCHOOt-CAWS. ALU OPPOSED MAY TURN IN THEIR COCLCP LI PS. It's a LongStory . . . 'â€¢ Freshman Tells of Germany TRY OUR DRIVE-IN CASH AND CARRY MILK PUN Saveon Fresh Milk "IT'S A LONG STORY, but the final reason why we came to America was because weconsidered it would be an adventure," explains Western freshman Christal Gedicks to the question ofwhy she and her parents left Germany in 1956. The details go back to World War II. "I WAS BORN INWHAT IS NOW EAST GERMANY, but during the war we moved away from advancing troops. For fouryears we didn't know where my father was, and when we were re-united after the war we no longer had ahome." But it was not until the family was settled in Lubach, near Hamburg, and inflation struck thatthey applied to come to America. Meanwhile, Mr. Gedicks sold his store and moved the family toWupper-tal, in the Rhineland. 'We'd heard that everyone in America is a millionaire," Miss Gedicksrecalls with a smile. "We thought we would go to America and join the crowd. But it took three years toget the papers through. There was red tape and countless questions. They kept asking us, 'Are youNazis? We were told we'd have to wait." WITH A CHARMING SMILE, the freshman class Homecomingprincess added, "I'm glad we moved now. I like it very much in this nation, and I like it at Western." Buttimes were not always so bright. "I can still remember the war. It was terrible. We moved from town totown and I can remember streets lined with dead persons or with marching soldiers." It was near the end of the war that Miss Gedicks recalls seeing Russians for the first time. She-remarked that theyseemed to have no culture or civilization. They washed potatoes in the toilet, for instance, and had goldteeth made from confiscated rings and watches, the comely Western lass stated. "There is hatred of the Russians for what they did in Germany. The Americans gave us candy bars and the attitude of thepeople was different towards them. But the children were afraid to go to the Russians." She mentionedmore atrocious specific instances, then digressed to tell a humorous story about the Russians. It seems that her mother knew a lady from whom had been stolen a pocket watch, and that the Russian soldiertook the watch to the jewelry store. There he demanded the large watch be made into three little wristwatches! The pleasantness of West Germany's Rhineland was made evident. :^: . y?J.v-: Â£-: â€¢ .^ ' "People in Germany are not so rushed as in America. We like natureâ€”water and nature. I like thepeople in the Rhine-land. And there's drinking. From age 10! Well . . . You should go to the winterfestsâ€” not just because of the wine, though. Many Americans attend them. The interview wasreluctantly (on the reporter's part) concluded with her observation that too many political questions had been asked. Student Christal Gedicks then returned to class.

Next Friday andSaturday night the Vikings tangle with Willamette and Linfield of the Northwest Conference. OnJanuary 22 Western travels to Linfield for their final tuneup prior to the opening of EvergreenConference action, on January 9. Seattle Pacific, minus their high scoring guard Loren Anderson, haveto depend on a double post. Orville Anderson, the Falcon's leading scorer, and John Knaplund handlethe pivot alignments. Pint-size Ron James is the top outside man and does a good job of feeding thepost men. RON THOMPSON, WESTERN'S high scoring center, will wear a face mask to protect hisbroken nose. A doubtful starter is Ray Kycek who bumped his head on the backboard in a recentscrimmage. Jack deKub-ber, a major disappointment so far this year, is now fully recovered from theankle injury that slowed him up in the first three games. COMMENTING ON HIS team's performance inTacoma Coach Jack Hubbard stated, "Our defense was good and the offense is rapidly improving. Our field goal percentage has not been too good but we have had a strong defense to fall back on." If Kycek is unable to play against Seattle Pacific, Ron Sal-tis will probably get the starting call. Saltis, astarter earlier in the season, is a good defensive player but has failed to score in the first three games. Hubbard expects his squad to be at full strength for the league opener against Eastern, Jan. 9. EdVadset and Wendy Weld will give Western considerable strength at guard and forward respectively, ifthey are eligible winter quarter. Both players were starters earlier in the season but have beenineligible due to grade difficulties. IN INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS reserve guard Dermot Cunningham has shot 67% from the field while Thompson has flipped in 52% of his field goal attempts. From the freethrow line Thompson has plunked in 23 of 31 attempts for 74 per cent. Gary Moore, freshman forward,leads the squad in free throw accuracy sinking four of five charity tosses for 80%. Thompson is theleading varsity scorer with 45 points. He is followed by freshman guard Nello Morganti with 38 points,and Bill Wright who has dropped in 20. Vik Women Wrap Up Sports Program with Hockey FridayALONG WITH CHRISTMAS presents many of the sports activities carried on by the women students,will be wrapped up, too, this week. Western's women took two volleyball teams to Everett Junior College last Friday to participate in an all-day volleyball sportsday. The Blue Team won 5 and lost 2 games.The "spikers" on this team were Betty Olson, captain, Leslie Larson, Jean Patton, Nancy Wheeler,Phyllis Hedges and Sandy Shaw. The White team Vik Swimmers Ready For Opening Meet UNDERTHE COACHING of John Kulbitski Western's mermen are slowly rounding into shape for the comingcampaign. The squad practices three times a week, although classes cause many of the squad'smembers to miss practices. A strong contingent of newcomers are pushing the Vikings' fivereturning letter winners for the varsity jobs. The squad will not be selected until shortly before theseason opens. Returning let-termen include Alan Coghill, Cole Comings, Charles McCurdy, Dave Munro, and Harold Ro-denberger. COMMENTING ON THIS year's team, Kulbitski stated, "If all the boys areeligible we will be much stronger from all indications, than we were last year. If we are going to be in topshape when the season starts we will have to go a little harder in practice." Rodenberger, who finishedsecond in the conference in the 200- yard breaststroke and in diving, seems to be the logical choicefor individual stardom. The 400-yard freestyle relay quartet finished second in the conference last year.Three members of this relay team return this season. WESTERN JOURNEYS to the University ofWashington on January 17 for a dual meet, and travels to College of Puget Sound on Jan. 21. TheTacoma school is the opposition Jan. 30 as the Vikings open their home schedule. 2 won and lost 5games. Those on this team were Gail Tunin-ga, captain; Sue Weidman, Irish Whitechurch, CarolynLaken-nies, Marilyn Gaskell and Esther Rousso. Many of the women students are still braving theelements for those last turnouts of field hockey. Field hockey is still being played but ice hockey is nowa pre-requisite. This week will also be the last week of hockey turnout as the women begin studyingfor finals. THE FALL SPORTS were summed up by the P.E. Department as "quite successful" asthere were many new participants as well as several old ones. The girls turning out for volleyball and field hockey wish to thank volleyball adviser Miss Hull and field hockey adviser Dr. Aitken. In joining with the Yuletide spirit, the Rheba D. Nickerson Club held its annual Christmas party at the home of theiradviser Miss Ruth Weythman on Tuesday, December 9. Dinner and a visit from Santa topped theevening. ON WEDNESDAY EVENING the Women's Recreational Association held their annualChristmas party in the Campus cafeteria. By DOUG SIMPSON Another honor was added to guard EdMelbourne's gridiron accomplishments last Friday. Melbourne was named to the first team All-PacificNorthwest. Jack Sim, Dennis Sheppard, and Fred Emerson received honorable mention. The Vikinghoopsters played well in Tacoma last weekend, but lost Saturday night to PLC, 66-58. Ron Thompsonand Bob Petrosik paced the squad to Friday night's overtime victory over CPS, 56-53. . After beingoutrebounded by mediocre St. Martins two zoeeks ago, Western showed vast improvement in that all-important department. The Viks pulled down 43 rebounds to only 11 by the Loggers of CPS. Neither team was particularly effective from the floor,, but were hot on the charity line. Western converted 30 of 42attempts, with Thompson sinking 17 of 20 tosses. Against PLC Western was ahead until the last fewminutes before falling before the Lutes, 66-58. Early in the first half Western's ace pivotman RonThompson suffered a compound fracture of his nose. Coach Jack Hubbard's squad fought hard, but minus the high scoring Thompson they'; could not hold off the always rough Lutes. Bob Roiko, who has beenovershadowed by Chuck Curtis the past two years proved his value by tanking 25 points to pace PLC. gt; gt; gt; Tonight Western takes on Seattle Pacific College here in the college gym. SPC has agood ball club paced by Orville Anderson, and will give the Vikings a real battle. Ron Thompson will beable to play with the aid of a face mask. With a healthy Thompson, Western, beginning to jell as a team,should be able to topple the Falcons. There is a new addition to the swimming team's equipment thisyear. Assistant Coach Chuck Stutz has designed a mechanical rabbit that paces the swimmers. The "tin cottontail" consists of a piece of cloth tied to a string on a motor-operated pulley. The string on the pulley extends the length of the pool and is located near the edge so that it can be seen by the swimmers.After a desired time is decided upon for each lap, the indivdual figures out the pace he would have to travel in order to obtain the time; then he sets the machine accordingly. The rabbit can travel as slow as 35seconds per lap, with faster times as desired. The pacer replaces the coach who ordinarily walks backand forth at a certain pace near the pool's edge.

Pfundt was crowned at intermission of the dance by AWS president Barbara Vesledahl. Hewon out over his seven opponents in an election held during the day of the tolo. A junior residing atDaniels Hall, he is an art major and a biology minor. He has been chairman of the Associated StudentBody Publicity Board during the past few months. Pfundt claims Blaine as his home town andconfesses that his favorite pastime is skiing. TOLO CO-CHAIRMEN Jane Palmer and Maude Woodtermed the dance as a success. "We would like to thank all our committees for lending a helpinghand to make the dance a success. A special thanks should go to decorations chairman KarenBrunstrom and Janice Pilik who did such a wonderful job." Decorations were done in turquoise, black,silver, and pink magenta. Modernistic mobiles hung from the ceiling light fixtures and a wall sizedmural added accent to the wall opposite the band stand. Names of each couple attending the tolo wereinscribed on notes which decorated two large music staffs winding across the two side walls.Photographs of the dancers were taken by Benson Studios of Everett, against a free-form figure. Thepictures were arranged by photographer chairman Lou McElravy. THE DANCE WAS held from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. in the Elks Hall with music being furnished by the College Dance Band. Audience toJoin Chorus: Music Department Presents Winter Concert Monday Night ECSA Conference to Have'New Twists' NEW TWISTS TO OLD IDEAS in student government procedures will be one of thesubjects discussed by the Evergreen Conference Student Association, it was decided last week.Heads of ECSA committees and planners composed of 15 students, held their first meeting lastThursday in the student center. Formed by 11 colleges in the state the ECSA is to promote goodwillamong the schools of higher learning and to establish and maintain high standards of scholarshipand sportsmanship. Al Jung, ECSA vice-president said, "Perhaps the fundamental purpose of theConference is to instill in the attending officers, future Presidents, and leaders, a feeling of confidencein themselves, thus a confidence in others. It will help them develop their own strong sense ofresponsibility which will communicate itself to others." "OUT OF THE CONFERENCE will come a groupof officers, representatives and communicators who will have a high standard of achievement andsimplicity in life, a simplicity where one can act on his own because he has taken the time to reasonand confide in himself. This is what the public should respect and does." The fall executive meetingwas held in November at Seattle University. Some of the colleges represented were CentralWashington, Gonzaga, Pacific Lutheran, Seattle Pacific and Western. St. Martins sat in as an observerand Washington State College will1 sit in at the spring conference. Topics will include problems onfollow-up work, making ECSA specifically useful to member schools, artist book information, theexpanding membership, keeping the meetings short and compact. The schools are going to collaboratein planning the artists and lecturer's tours. One of the chief drawbacks last year was lack of publicityand advance planning according to the representatives. To improve, Western has already set upcommittees and taken steps to make this year's conference more succesful. ORGAN, CHORAL, solovoice and instrumental music, and community singing of two favorite carols are programmed forWestern's annual Christmas Concert next Monday night, Dec. 15.

Red paint filled Fisher Fountain, making it resemble a pool of blood. University . Police received multiple phone calls reporting two college-age males wearing hooded sweatshirts were seen spray painting on buildings and gluing posters to walls, pillars and windows. 'Clean-up costs will be borne by university funds, which unfortunately will be diverted from other purposes, such as facilities maintenance and classroom upgrades-. Karen Morse Western president Damage on the Environmental Studies building and steps, buildings in Red Square, and Wright's Triangle, the outdoor sculpture in front of was found the Fine Arts building. "It (Wright's Triangle) had the T word on it," Assistant UP Chief Dave Doughty said. "(It was) not very classy." The graffiti and posters contained anti-Bush, anti-war and anti-oppression of Afghan women messages, Doughty said. "Whatever their motive, it's still a crime," Doughty said. An investigation is in progress, but at this time, the UP has no leads. "We're hoping at some point someone will take credit for it or brag about it," Doughty said. Despite other reports, no estimates of damage are available, Physical Plant director. Bill Managan said. The cost consists mainly of labor costs, he said. "It's just a matter of going through and checking the record," he said. "We just have to go back and add it up." Although no estimate has been made, the damage is much worse than the vandalism of the past, Managan said. "This is one of the worst incidents of graffiti in the 15 years I've been here," he said.

Western changes mail-handling policy Marissa Bisnar/The Western Front U.S. Postal Service employee Myriah Day picks up the last batch of mail from the Viking Union post office. University Mail Services will have a new security policy after Nov. 1. By Marissa Bisnar THE WESTERN FRONT The U.S. Postal Service has established new security regulations requiring all parcels to be labeled with a complete address, and packages weighing more than 16 ounces must have the contents clearly labeled. The Aviation Mail Security Audit Program will go into effect Nov. 1. The program is in response to the anthrax terrorist attacks appearing in various parts of the United States. "Prior to these changes, there wasn't a big concern," University Mail Services supervisor Judi Magnuson said. "Our carriers go to 122 mail stops a day, picking up packages on a desk or at a department that not many people are watching over." UMS will be impacted by the new regulations by having to be more aware of what workers are handling and where the packages are coming from, Magnuson said. 'We are trying not to think about it (anthrax) because we're working and don't have time to be scared! Dragicia Bjelajac University Mail Services employee "The U.S. Postal Service is putting the responsibility on us to know what we're shipping now," MagnusOn said. A letter describing the policies, along with new parcel identification forms, will be sent to all departments on campus, Magnuson said. The parcel identification forms must be attached to packages and large envelopes being shipped out. Information on the form must include the shipper's name, signature, telephone number, department and a description of the package's contents.

According to the documents, between September 1998 and October 2001, DiMarco stole a Panasonic VCR belonging to Western's Athletic Department and pawned it for at least $250, the minimum monetary amount required for second-degree theft charges.

Brian Pahl, project coordinator for Western Men Against Violence, asked these men to stand if they have ever been worried about not being tough enough. He asked these men to stand if they have ever been told to act like a man. He asked these men to stand if they have resisted from hugging or touching another man because of how it might appear. On all three accounts, nearly every male in the room stood up. These men spent most of their Saturday morning and afternoon at the second annual Western Men Against Violence Fall Retreat in the Viking Union. They explored why violence by men persists, historical perspectives on masculinity and how life would be different if violence ended. The nine-hour retreat consisted of group discussions, small skits and an interactive presentation by the improv acting group, Will Act For Change. â€¢ "There are people who don't feel safe on campus," Pahl said. "That tells me that violence does exist. Instead of just ignoring the issue of violence against women, we ask, 'what can men do?'" "We are at this retreat to get a network of guys who think the same way," said Brent Olson, student coordinator for WMAV.

Schell, who oversaw a tumultuous first term, was eliminated in the primary by Sidran and King County Councilman Greg Nickels. Schell said the city attorney is honest, and he agreed with Sidran's proposal to rework plans for a light rail transit system. Man accused of killing his friend Matthew Mitchell, 27, of Yakima is in jail under investigation of murder and kidnapping charges. The charges stem from a fight Wednesday night between Mitchell and 34-year-old Mikel Peels, which led to the alleged stabbing death of Peels. The police said the two were friends. Detective Mike Costello said Peel was found Sunday night tied up with multiple stab wounds. He died after arriving at the hospital. Neighbors held Mitchell down until police arrived. NATIONAL NEWS Anthrax case confirmed at State Department At more than 10 locations in and around the nation's capitol, anthrax has now been confirmed. Due to the scares, the U.S. Supreme Court heard cases in a different courthouse Monday. Positive tests have been confirmed at a State Department mail room and at Food and Drug Administration offices. A spokesman for the State Department said all of the agency's mail rooms have been shut down. This came after an anthrax contamination at a mail-handling facility across the street. President Bush wants to tighten up' student visas President Bush is working to "tighten up" the foreign student visa system in hopes of keeping future terrorists out. Bush said at the first meeting of his Homeland Security Council that this doesn't mean foreigners will be prohibited from entering the United States. Bush said foreigners have been taking advantage of the nation's generosity. One of the key issues being looked at is student visas. About 600,000 foreign students are admitted to the country every year, and one of the suspected Sept. 11 terrorists legally entered the United States with a student visa. Some lawmakers are proposing a six-month moratorium, but President Bush hasn't endorsed this idea yet. Gresham killer sentenced to life in prison A Gresham, Ore. resident avoided his death penalty trial, which was to start Thursday with him pleading guilty to felony murder. Corey Lomax, 25, will instead be sentenced to life in prison with a chance for parole after 25 years. Lomax and 24-year-old Jorge Orlando Cabrera of Portland were accused of tying up, beating and strangling 47-year-old Kim Ly in April 2000. Both men were charged with burglary and robbery, although the charges were dropped against Lomax as part of the deal.

Many companies are losing employees who are reservists being called to active duty. Those businesses may now qualify for loans through the Small Business Administration. "A lot of the businesses were hurting already, and Sept. 11 put them over the edge," Dorr said. "For a lot of companies, sales stopped for a week." Dorr said he has seen approximately 25 loan requests per week since the tragedies. The loans, which are up to $1.5 million based on need, are set up to cover the operating expenses not being met by the loss of key employees, Dorr said. "This loan program is made to ease the reservists' mind that the business is going to survive," Dorr said. Whatcom Security Agency sales manager Patrick Duggan said the company has had approximately six employees who are reservists called into duty. Duggan said while they have hired new employees, it's not an easy process to replace the reservists. "Naturally, it's not good," Duggan said. "We have to replace them, and usually reservists make really good employees. We could lose more, too." The loans have a 4 percent interest rate for a maximum term of 30 years. The SBA determines the amount of need each borrower has, as well as the terms of the loans. Dorr said the loans are effective because they examine need at a more personal level. "It's very one-on-one," Dorr said. "It's very need-driven, rather than formula-driven." A lot of the financial hardship caused by the tragedies is the result of what Dorr called a "ripple effect," beginning with not being able to make bill payments. He said these problems then become compounded as consumer buying habits change. "Besides the initial feeling of shock and a sense of what's normal, I think businesses are challenged because all t he sudden there's a different paradigm (to follow)," Dorr said. "The challenge for small businesses is to figure out how these buying habits have changed. Businesses that are struggling are really struggling." Not all outcomes of this will be bad, Dorr said. He talked about how, historically, events such as this can act as a catalyst to get the economy moving again. Some of t he positive changes will be a greater amount of shopping locally rather than corporately, he said. "There's a lot of positive stuff going on," Dorr said. "(People) are going to turn more locally for goods and services and entertainment. Local businesses need to reach out to the customer base more than ever." He said businesses should respond by focusing on their customers, as well as reviewing their contingency plan. Dorr said similar loan programs used to relieve some burden from small b u s i n e s s e s , have worked before. "We did the same thing in the Gulf War, and it was a very successful program," Dorr said. "Because of the success there, it's been reintroduced for this war." Dorr said the outcome will not be known for some time. premium Who says you cant get something for nothing?

Participants learned how to logically defend and debate their position against anti-abortionists Monday night. About 23 people from Western and around Bellingham attended the workshop, which took place in Environmental Studies building room 415. Nichole Shippen, Carroll Twiss and Dawn Merydith, the workshop teachers, focused on five ways to argue and discuss the pro-choice viewpoint effectively. Some of these included finding a common ground with the other person and remaining calm even if the other person is upset or yelling. Western student Rachel Nicholson said she is pro- choice but wanted some help getting her point across to others. "I'm not here to learn something new, just to get the professional viewpoint," Nicholson, said. Western student Casey Raybon-Wise said he also supports a woman's right to choose. "I'm not down with my wife having an abortion, but I believe in individual rights," Raybon-Wise said. Shippen â€¢ said it is a misconception that pro-choice means pro-abortion. "We aren't just about abortion," Shippen said. "Abortion is just one option in a continuum of choices. We also support the use of birth control, emergency contraception and comprehensive sexuality education for public schools." Bellingham resident Nancy Sherer said she went to the workshop to- learn to discuss pro-choice issues coherently with pro-life advocates. "It's hard to discuss something when people are talking in slogans," Sherer said. Twiss said even though reproductive rights have been under heavy threat for a long time, change is on its way. "Washington is No. 1 in the country for reproductive rights," Twiss said. Some of these rights include a woman's right to birth control through her insurance, her right to emergency contraception and her right to an abortion, regardless of her age. Washington laws do not require a woman to notify or get permission from her parents, even if she is a minor. After the lecture and discussion, people paired together to role play what they had learned. The coordinators passed out a flier with 13 common pro-life statements on it, and the groups discussed rebuttals to the statements. One such statement said parents should have the right to know if their daughter is having an abortion if she is a minor.. One. group, decided, that if this were a law, it might prevent teens from ever telling their parents if they were to become pregnant. : "What if she. hats; the. baby, andiithen puts it. i n a: garbage can?" ,i iRaybon?Wise.- . asked. "Also, to give that concession might give way in the long run, and we may lose rights." Not everyone who attended the workshop was already pro-choice. Western student Matt Oakland said he is pro-life and observed the workshop to get information.

From VANDALISM, Page 1 sculpture collection and director of the Western Gallery. "I have worked with a conservator in the past, so we know general maintenance, and when certain things happen like this, we know what to do," Clark- Langager said. During the weekend, new damage occurred to Wright's Triangle, Doughty said. Someone tried to scrape the paint off so the graffiti from Friday would show and added white graffiti, he said. "Clean-up costs will be borne by university funds, which unfortunately will be diverted from other purposes, such as facilities maintenance and classroom upgrades," Western President Karen Morse said. Tuition money being used to clean the buildings, artwork and Fisher Fountain is one reason some students are upset about the vandalism. "My tuition dollars are being used to clean up their mess" Western junior James Mandeville . said. "I like the method protesters used earlier this week because it (the die-in) may have distracted some people, but it didn't cause damage to the school." "Vandalism isn't the way to voice your opinion," Western senior Kelly Brinkley said. "I don't think defacing property is the way to do it." Western sophomore Jake Charlton said bther tactics would have received the attention the people wanted without creating permanent damage. "If they had used food coloring, then it would have been easier to clean up," Charlton said. "Food coloring has the same effect and it-still would have been awhile for them to pump it all out." "It would have been easier to have washed out," chemistry professor Gary Lampman said. The Western Anti-War Movement was not involved in this action, Jean Fallow, the group's media contact said. "We weren't involved in what happened," Fallow said. "That tactic is not a tactic our group has used or endorsed." The focus of Western's Anti- War Movement group is to generate discussion and debate, Fallow said. "We believe that the more information people have access to, the more likely they will be to question the current U.S. policy," she said. The cleanup effort has already used a lot of labor and is still not complete. "We had a fair amount of people out there most of the day Friday working on it," Managan said. "We've still got some people working on Fisher Fountain." Car A c c i d e n t? Bellingham, WA-Free Report reveals your rights. Before you settle your case or speak with anyone, listen and learn.

One male at the retreat pointed out the. importance of men acting to end violence. Stephen Klebs, a student coordinator with WMAV, said men perpetrate 96 percent of all violent acts; if the source of the problem is addressed,therefore, violence would decline. "If women wanted to end violence against them, it would probably would have ended," Klebs said. "Men must do their part to end the violence," he. said. "Women are warned against dressing certain ways, walking alone in the dark and to kick and scream when they are attacked, but rape still happens," Pahl said. "Men play a real special role in preventing violence, not only against women, but against other men as well, such as homophobia." "This idea of violence is so overwhelming that we have to start somewhere," said Chris Berry, a Lutheran campus pastor at the Shalom Center. Berry has worked with WMAV, and it's predecessor, Men Against Rape, since 1991. Berry mainly gave a historical context of masculinity within Western society. One example he gave connected modern perceptions of masculinity and St. Augustine's story, "City of God." "In 'City of God,' the women are told to 'spite their face' to prevent the men of an invading army from sinning," Berry said. The women were to cut off their noses to make themselves less attractive, not to save themselves, but to save the invading soldiers' souls and prevent them from raping the women." "(This story) says that it is the women's responsibility to end rape and violence against women," Berry said. "Society has allowed our sacred writings to perpetuate violence against -our sisters and brothers." After discussing the historical contexts and basis of the modern perception of masculinity, the group then discussed what those modern concepts mean to males, today. Pahl said other goals of his are to create choices for people, and to change the misconceptions about being a man. "We're told early on that men are this way, women are another way, and this is your gender role," Pahl said. "Men are supposed to be tough and strong. Does that represent each individual as a man?" he said. At one point, the men formed small groups to discuss the perceptions of masculinity, and they performed small skits concerning what it means to "act like a man." The skits addressed male issues of public displays of emotion, peer pressure and gender roles. "Men have the same hurts and the same experiences, we just don't talk about it," said Hunter Verner, a Western freshman who attended the retreat. The theatre improv group, Will Act For Change, performed a few skits that dealt with issues such as date rape and sexual harassment. Between each skit, retreat participants were invited to discuss what happened in each situation, why it happened and how it could have been prevented. Shortly afterwards, the female actors of Will Act For Change sat closely together on a couch, held each other for support and shared their view of violence against women. The women confessed if violence against women ended tomorrow, they would not have to carry a knife on them, or worry about walking alone at night, or how far away they park. T?he male retreat participants said they would not have to worry about their loved ones or read another community notice of an attempted rape if violence against women ended tomorrow. One student said he took a feeling of optimism with him after the retreat. "I'm gonna go away with the greatest sense of hope," Western sophomore Paul Graves said. "It's great knowing guys want to get up and actively do something about violence instead of just talking about it." ^^^^^^Blw ^B^i^^^^^^^^^P^ ---------- Western Front 2001-10-30 - Page 5 ---------- October 30, 2001 The Western Front â€¢ 5 EVERYTHING FROM ULTIMATE GAMING SYSTEMS TO BUDGET SOLUTIONS CHOOSE YOUR VIKING COMPUTER AT: WESTERN TIC%C\TZ QtfWP AJkJ \J MS. 3 IV f C AMD VIKING IV â€¢^'"0,^1650 AMD ATHLON POWER SYSTEM I H ^^^ Athlon 1.4 GHz Processor, 256MB DDR SDRAM PC-2100, MSI 6330Lite Motherboard, 32MB GeForce2 Video Card, 12X8X32 CD Burner, 40GB 7200rpm Hard Drive, Floppy Drive, 12X DVD Drive, Sound Blaster Live!, 56K Modem, 10/100 Network Card, lOmega 250MB Zip Drive, Windows 2000, MS Natural Keyboard Optical Jntellimouse, Altec Lansing ACS54X speaker system, Includes a 19" Viewsonic Optiquest Monitor!!

If all else fails, we would open the package to see who the shipper was." Due to the anthrax scare, employees are given the option of wearing gloves and respiratory masks when handling the mail, Magnuson said. UMS employee Dragicia Bjelajac said she has chosen to wear protective gloves, and all other employees have chosen to do the same. "We are trying not to think about it because we're working and don't have time to be scared," Bjelajac said. "Nothing in Washington has happened so far, but you never know." UMS employees underwent a safety training orientation with Gayle Shipley of Western's Environmental Health and Safety Office, who was unavailable for comment. Employees were advised to get flu shots since anthrax symptoms are similar to flu symptoms, Magnuson said. Western President Karen Morse visited UMS to show her concern for the employees, Magnuson said. "She stopped by the other day and wanted us to know that she was concerned and to make sure we had training safety and to" just be aware,". Magnuson said.

Children wear costumes and trick-or-treat for candy with their parents. - Some parents take their kids door-to-door around their neighborhood, but others have chosen what they said they feel to be a safer route. Bellingham resident Karen Sofie used to take her son to the mall on Halloween. "He loved it," Sofie said. "We just played all day long." She said this year they plan to celebrate Halloween at a party with her family. Due to the Sept. 11 attacks, Bellis Fair Mall canceled its annual trick-or-treating event this Halloween. "People perpetuate fear," Sofie said. "I can't see anyone trying to bomb a mall. It's ridiculous." Several mall-goers said they believed trick-or-treating was canceled due to an anonymous e-mail that was sent around, threatening American malls on Halloween. Mary Vermillion, Bellis Fair marketing director, said that is simply not true. "It has been verified with, the FBI that the e-mail was a hoax," Vermillion said. She said the cancellation was not in response to any particular instance. "We just felt it was inappropriate (to celebrate) at the mall," Vermillion said. "A lot of people I've talked to are spending this Halloween close to home with family and friends." ' â€ž She said kids can still trick-or-treat in downtown Bellingham earlier in the day on Halloween. Western junior Sonja Cohen works at Cards, Collectibles and Gifts in Bellis Fair. "I have never seen so many kids in my. life," Cohen said about last Halloween, adding that she is disappointed about the cancellation. "I think it's sad because traditionally it's been a safe place for parents to take their kids trick-or-treating," Cohen said. She said people are so nervous right now that she hopes the kids get to celebrate Halloween at all. "I do see where they're (mall management employees) coming from because they're worried about the safety of their customers," Cohen said. "They're trying to be appropriate, but it's a PR nightmare." Bellingham resident Jen McQuaide takes her son trick-or- treating door-to-door. "It's what I did when I was a kid," she said. "Part of me says it's too bad anybody's letting fear stop anything, but I can understand the concern," McQuaide said. "I can see why people wouldn't want to be in large places at this time." Bellingham resident Monica Holman said she is very concerned about her 4-year-old son Bradley's safety on Halloween. "I worry about the candy," Holman said. "He doesn't get to eat any until I check it all." She said mall trick-or-treating sounded safer, even with the recent tragic events. She said she is planning to take Bradley door-to-door, but she'd definitely be interested in mall trick-or-treating next year. Vermillion said she hasn't received any negative reactions from the kids so far. The mall is providing information about other Halloween oriented events. "It's a-maze-ing" 11 -year-old Sam Vallellanes said. Sam Vallellanes walks through the corn maze at Biringer Farms Sunday afternoon. By Candace Nelson THE WESTERN FRONT Rain was falling, and the wind was blowing, but instead of watching weekend cartoons, dozens of people came walking through a muddy elephant- shaped corn maze Sunday afternoon. Mike and Dianna Biringer are the owners of Biringer Farms, which is located at 4625 40th PI. N.E. in Everett. Dianna said she is always surprised by how many college students visit the corn maze. College students like to bring their beer to make it more challenging, she said. Although they may bring it, alcohol is prohibited from the maze, maze attendant Antonette Blythe said. She said she once found some college students in the middle of the maze drinking and she took away their beer and asked them to leave. The 3.5-mile maze consists of two trails that form the combined shapes of an elephant, tiger, gorilla, parrot and Hansa, Woodland Park Zoo's baby elephant, ft takes about an hour and a half to go through the entire maze. "We've been lost in here for 35 years!"12-year-old Ronnie Reynolds from Seattle exaggerated. Reynolds and his friend, Sam Vallellanes, 11, had lt; Photos by Candace Nelson/The Western Front Children bundle up in their winter clothes and ride the tractor train ride at Biringer Farms. been walking through the corn looking for their parents. "It's a-maze-ing," Vallellanes said of the maze. Shawn Stolworthy, a professional maze maker, began designing the maze I n March. Dianna did not want to disclose the exact dollar amount, but she said the cost of design and construction was in the thousands of dollars. By allowing people to walk through their corn, the Biringers found that it brings in more money than selling corn. "(Working seven days per week) is too hard for the return, but the love of agriculture is there," Dianna said. In addition to the corn maze, Biringer Farms also offers Pumpkin Country, an area designed for families and young children. In Pumpkin Country, visitors can ride ponies, buy apple cider arid pick their own pumpkins. A hay bale maze, located in Pumpkin Country, is dark and creepy, but short enough for children. Children stand at Deadwood Ranch, a goat silo in Pumpkin Country, to watch the goats walk across an overhead bridge. "The goats love to perform," Dianna said. They eat out of children's hands, she said. The wood for the ranch came from two barns that were destroyed in a snowstorm. The Biringers began inviting the public to their farm for education purposes in 1979. -They started bringing people from nursing homes to see the farm, but now more elementary school classes visit. In her classes, Dianna teaches the students that a pumpkin is edible fruit. The Biringers are members of the National Farm Direct Marketing Association, which educates the public about agriculture. The goal of the NFDMA is to bring the public "back to the farm" with attractions such as the corn maze and Pumpkin Country. Biringer Farms is open until Oct. 31. Visits may be scheduled by calling 425-259-0255. 4-year-old Ben chose a pumpkin for his baby sister Sara from the You-Pick-lt Pumpkin Patch at Biringer Farms. ---------- Western Front 2001-10-30 - Page 9 ---------- October 30, 2001 Features The Western Front â€¢ 9 By Matt Bucher THE WESTERN FRONT Remember tbgrkid in elementary school with the self-esteem pfcmlem, the one who had nb%respect for others? What about the troublemaker who couldn't seem to stay out of other people's personal space? Or how about the child l^ith^ feeii^ a word, ;but always, got picked oxxt:%^:,^::,;.: These are Sonja Wingard's kids. - "We work with at-risk kids," Wingard said. ftMany need to learn respect, while some have anger problems and "needSto learn better communication skills." { .':^;: .-.. :-v =â€¢ â€¢ "These kids just need to be treated normal," she said. It's not that this is a new philosophy; it's the way in which Wingard goes about helping children that's unique. Three years ago, at the prodding of Catholic Community Services, Wingard started the nonprofit organization Animals as Natural Therapy. The program uses animals to teach kids respect, communication skills, responsibility and trust while- providing a safe environment where they can learn to succeed. Two to three days a week, Wingard helps one to three children work her 5- acre, 100-year-old berry farm that Animals as Natural Therapy calls home. They ride horses, play with the rabbit, groom the llama, shovel manure and learn life lessons, Wingard said. Animals on the farm range from Sonny the golden retriever to Buster the pygmy goat. Six horses and a rooster are also on the farm. Bellingham School District's Prevention-Intervention specialist Sally Beaven, who also volunteers for Animals as Natural Therapy, said she wishes that more of her students could work on Wingard's farm. "If I sit in an office and chat with a student, we'll discover some things that are going on in the kid's life," Beaven said. "But if they get into an environment where they are physical with a horse, that's when they get out of the person they are trying to be and show who they really are." "The animals are doing the therapy," Wingard said. "When these children control a 1,000- pound horse, it does wonders for their trust of others and at the same time helps develop their self-esteem and confidence." Many of the children in the program come from the Martin Center, Wingard said. , - " â€¢ - ' â€¢ â€¢ â€¢' "Children at the (Martin) center have the highest level of need in the state," said Martin Center director Ane Berrett. "They are referred by the state or other placement programs and have problems that range from schizophrenia to childhood trauma." The children live at the Martin Center for six to nine months, depending on their circumstances. During that time, confidentiality is of high concern because of the sensitivity of the cases, Berrett said. "This program (Animals as Natural Therapy) is very beneficial," Berrett said. "It gives the kids trust in living things, works on their interrelational skills and in some cases, just the animals showing them unconditional love is the best thing for them." :;)^P^Jho^Â§es c|^lalÂ§p help people get to anew place in their lives,-Beaven said. "The horses teach-by mirroring what we do," she said. "We then-try to turn what the horse is doing into a metaphor that works in these kids lives. By doing this, the horse is helping them understand more about themselves." In the past, children from the Martin Center have shoveled and bagged manure then sold it at the Bellingham Farmer's Market to earn money for Animals as Natural Therapy, Berrett said. This year, because of the success Animals as Natural Therapy has had with the children, the Martin Center has requested a Federal Block grant, which would give more children the opportunity to experience the magic at Wingard's farm. The grant, which is in the process of being finalized, brings Animals as Natural Therapy into uncharted territory. "We're at the point where this thing has to get bigger than me," Wingard said. "We need to go out and find grants and make the leap to being a big program." Last summer, the organization ran its first day camp, but Wingard said she hopes that in the future enough money will be available for two or three camps. Plans are in the works to add a large garden and try to get senior citizens involved in the program so it can be a multi-generational experience for everyone, Wingard said. At this time, Animals as Natural Therapy has about 40 part-time volunteers, while 39 children have had one to 20 animal experiences. But more volunteers, especially people with administrative experience and Internet expertise, are needed if the program is going to expand successfully, Wingard said. Oct. 13, 20 and 27, Animals as Natural Therapy will be at the Barkley Village Pumpkin Patch giving horse rides to raise money for their program. All proceeds will go directly toward helping more children experience the therapy. Because of the kind of work being done with the children, along with the fact that most of the children are referred by case-workers and counselors, Wingard said all clients and their guardians have complete confidentiality. Whether helping one child or hundreds,Wingard will be happy.i "I've always liked kids and helping kids with behavior problem|," she said. "I enjoy seeing kids feel successful." ---------- Western Front 2001-10-30 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front b PORTS NCAA II Intramural October 30, 2001 Vikings clinch GNAC volleyball title By Jeff Hoffman THE WESTERN FRONT The matches weren't pretty, but when all was said and done, Western's volleyball team walked away with two wins and the Great Northwest Athletic Conference title, the first volleyball league title in Western's history. The Vikings, led by outside hitter Shannon Rowland's 31 kills and 12 service aces in the two games, held off Northwest Nazarene University 30-25, 25- 30, 30-25, 30-27 Friday, and they came back and shut down Seattle University Saturday, 31-29, 30- 22, 26-30, 30-10, for the GNAC crown. Western, which improved to 20- 3 during the season and 15-0 in GNAC play, is ranked No. 21 in the NCAA Division II national poll and tied for No. 2 in the West Region. Rowland and outside hitter Annamarie Thornton led the way Friday with 15 kills each, as the Vikings hung on to beat the Northwest Nazarene Crusaders in four games. The third game was tight after the two teams split the first two games, but the Vikings took control late in the game. With the score tied at 22, Western went on a 6-1 run and held on for the 30-25 win. After a little trouble to begin the fourth, the Vikings scored 10 of the next 11 points and held off a late charge by the Crusaders to take the final game and the match. "We really weren't playing our 'A game that night," Rowland said. "We had a hard time focusing, but we played just well enough to escape with a win." That win clinched at least a tie for the conference title with the Vikings needing just one win in their next four matches to win the title outright. It seemed rather fitting that Western would get the victory Saturday night in the same fashion it had won each of the past 20 matches: by completely dominating. Leading Seattle two games to one, the Vikings rattled off 11 straight points to open the fourth game and didn't look back, winning the game 30-10, their largest margin of victory on the year. "I told the team that the only way to finish the match out was to do it together," Western head coach Diane Flick said. "It seems like we came out and played well together in that last game and pulled out the win." Western setter Liz Bishop came out firing in the fourth game, serving up 10 straight points, including three aces, to give the Vikings an early 11-0 lead. The Vikings had a 57 percent attack percentage and made no errors in that game. 'T was just out there trying to mix it up," Bishop said. "I was just trying to find their weak spots, and we just seemed to play really well while I was serving." Rowland and outside hitter Rachelle Cooper each had 16 kills to pace the Vikings, and middle blocker Kirsten Mann added 13 kills. The win extended the Vikings' school record for consecutive wins to 20, and their home winning streak to 20 games as well. "Sometimes when you train like we do, where you take it one game at a time, you don't get to stop and look at the enormity of what you have done," Flick said. "At practice on Saturday, I told them to really look at what we've accomplished this season and take pride in it." The GNAC title doesn't guarantee the Vikings a place in the NCAA Division II Pacific Region Tournament. The top eight teams in the region advance to the tournament. 'Tm starting to look forward to the playoffs because that's my job," Flick said. "The rest of the team, however, is just looking at the next match on Tuesday against Simon Fraser University." "Even though we got the win, I still don't think that we played our best," Bishop said. "We hope to come out in our last four matches and pick it up for sure." _ TAKE CHARGE cause life isn't a game free Birth Control free Pregnancy Tests free STD Exams free Annual Exams The Take Charge program provides reproductive health services free, with qualified incomes.

Instead, he found himself on the sideline with his left arm in a sling, watching as Western's freshman kicker Michael Koenen kicked the game-winning field goal with two seconds left on the clock, capping a dramatic comeback. Koenen's boot from 40 yards out gave Western a thrilling 24- 21 victory over the University of New Haven Chargers Saturday at Robert Dodds Stadium in West Haven, Conn. The Vikings overcame three hardships during the game. They lost their starting quarterback due to an injury, their starting running back Nyle Chambers was having his second-straight off game and the game was more than 3,000 miles away from home. "We overcame a lot of things," Western coach Rob Smith said. "I can't say enough about our guys coming back and getting the job done. Our theme this year is 'Find A Way,' and this victory epitomizes that." Mitchell, who came into the game needing 202 yards of total offense to surpass Jason Stiles' all-time mark of 7,427, went down hard on his left (non-throwing) shoulder after a sack by Charger cornerback Jamar Williams late in the third quarter. He aggravated an injury that occurred in the season opening loss to Central Oklahoma University. He did not return and is likely out for the rest of the season, Smith said. B a c k up q u a r t e r back Steve N i c h o l s r e p l a c e d M i t c h e l l Michael Koenen with the Vikings trailing 21-14. Two plays later, running back Devin Martin sliced through the Chargers' defense for a 4-yard .touchdown run that tied the game at 21. Martin had 118 yards on 24 carries in relief of Chambers, who struggled for the second- straight week. "This was Devin's best game for us, no question about it," Smith said. "He ran hard and made big runs at some critical times." The Vikings got the ball back after a Chargers punt pinned the Vikings' offense at its own 9-yard line. Nichols, behind the running of Martin, drove the Vikings nearly the length of the field to the Chargers' 3-yard line. This is where he was intercepted by Chargers' safety George Fuller during a third-and-goal play, killing the potential go-ahead drive. The Vikings' defense, which gave up 21 points in the first half, shut out the Chargers in the second half and made several big plays in critical situations. "Our defense really came together in the second half," Vikings linebacker Lann Olson said. "We knew our offense could score, so all we had to do is stop their offense." After Fuller's interception, the Chargers' offense drove the length of the field to the 3-yard line behind quarterback Rob DTnnocenzio and wide receiver Matt Marcks, who tormented the Vikings' defense with 10 catches and 213 yards. During a second-and-goal play from the 3-yard line, Olson broke up a sure touchdown pass from DTnnocenzio to Charger running back Dawud Hanif. Then during the next play, DTnnocenzio appeared to fumble the ball while being sacked, and the Vikings recovered the loose ball. Officials ruled DTnnocenzio's arm was moving forward, and it was called an incomplete pass. After the controversial call, the Chargers attempted a 19-yard field goal that would have given them the lead, but Viking corner-back Anthony Dalton broke around the corner, arid blocked the kick, keeping the game tied. The Vikings were forced to punt on their ensuing possession with 2:32 left in the game. Once again, the Vikings called on the defense to step up and stop the Chargers' offense. They responded by forcing the Chargers to punt with more than a minute left in the game. Viking safety Erik Totten, who is Western's all-time leading punt returner, fielded the punt at his own 31-yard line and danced around the Chargers' defenders to return the ball 24 yards to the Chargers' 45-yard line. With 56 seconds left on the clock and no timeouts, the Vikings started their march toward the game-winning field goal. Martin opened the drive with an 11-yard run to the Chargers 34-yard line. Then with the clock still running, Nichols audibled the play at the line of scrimmage, costing the Vikings precious seconds, but the young quarterback made the right call. He threw to an open wide receiver GrSg Dykstra for a 12-yard gain to set up Koenen's heroics. The pressure did not appear to rattle Koenen, who had missed field goals from 50 and 54 yards earlier in the game. The Chargers tried to ice the Vikings' kicker by calling two consecutive time-outs, to no avail. "We knew we had to come away with a win today," Koenen said. "I was disappointed I missed those two earlier. I knew I had to hit the last one." 2001 Vikings Season Statistics HHHnHHHHHnHI HHHnnnHHHHi flHnHHHHBMHi â€¢HHHHHBBHHH TOUCHDOWNS SCORED.

By Candace Nelson THE WESTERN FRONT Despite 14 penalties, the Western club ice hockey team beat the NCAA Division I University of Idaho Vandals Sunday, 8-3 at the Bellingham SportsPlex. "They're big, they hit hard and kept us on our toes," Western defensive player Matt Kline said. "(University of Idaho players) use their size to their advantage," Western captain Julien Lalonde said. 'We're a smaller team; we skate around 'em." Lalonde was the leading scorer for the Vikings, scoring five of the eight goals. "It was alright; we did what we needed to do, except the penalties," head coach Ming Wu said after the first period. Western players received 14 penalties during the game including penalties for roughing, high sticking and tripping. If a team is given more than 15 penalties, the coach cannot attend the next game. Trainer Joe Lamonica said one problem the team is facing is inconsistent refereeing. Players have been given different penalties for the same offense, he said. A four-man referee system is new this year. Last year, three referees called the game. Western goalie Jill Leonetti said the new system is good because officials can watch the game from either end of the ice. "1 don't like it; I can't get away with anything," Kline said. Defensive key players include Kline, John Wilson, assistant cap- .tain Dan Whitford, Dane Hovde and KC Myron. Offensively, the Vikings have Lalonde. Wu described the team as "not being as organized as we should be." In addition to new players, the coaching staff is new. Wu said returning players are providing a lot of leadership. The next games are Nov. 10 and 11 at the SportsPlex. Koutei Fan Services â€¢ Anime â€¢ Manga â€¢ Books â€¢Toys â€¢ Music â€¢ Games 215 West Holly Suite H20 â€¢ More!

FooirC6-oP By Heather Trimm THE WESTERN FRONT Flanks, wings, props, a fullback and a hooker whored themselves out Saturday at the 6th annual Hogfest rugby tournament at the Ferndale Polo Grounds. The Western Flames, the women's rugby team, went undefeated for the day, taking home the first- place trophy for the second year in a row. The Whitman College women could riot field a side of 15 players, so the Flames lent rookie players to Whitman. The rugby term for this is whoring. "This team found a great sense of unity from this tournament," Flames coach Matt Malone said. "With so many new players, we came together to get a sense of rugby and learn a love for the sport," Malone said. Normally, rugby matches are 80 minutes long, consisting of two 40- minute halves. In tournament play, the halves are 20 minutes long. The Flames' scrumhalf, a position similar to a football quarterback or basketball point guard, Kammi Lopez,- scored twice in the second match against Evergreen State College. "Kammi had an incredible day," Malone said. "She is an unbelievable player." Four players were awarded MVP awards: returning players Trica Young and Zara Taylor, and rookie players Liz Floyd and Emily Stansifer. Taylor, who also plays scrumhalf and is in her third season with the Flames, scored for the first time ever. The Warthogs, the men's team from Western, also used the tournament as a learning experience. "We are out here to have fun and learn a new sport," Malone said. Divided into two divisions, the men's tournament had the more experienced players on the first side and the less experienced rookies on the second. "Both sides showed well and developed a lot from this tournament," Warthogs coach Bob Ford said. Western's first side shut out Montana, 14-0, in its first match of the day. "This is most likely the best game we have played all year," Ford said. The Warthogs scrumhalf, Alex Mchuron, played one of his best games ever, making quality choices about were to go with the ball, Ford said. "All these guys really stepped up to the plate â€¢ and came to play rugby," Ford said. Candace Nelson/The Western Front Warthog first side dominates the University of Montana in a scrum on Saturday at the Hogfest tournament.

Red paint was dumped into Fisher Fountain. Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush stickers were glued to signs across campus. What was their message? Past the vandalism, many students have forgotten. These wannabe protesters are nothing more than cowards, hiding behind acts of destruction to get their messages across. An effective protester could be seen supporting his/her cause. These cowards hide in the cloak of night, silently and anonymously tacking their message around campus. Their act of destruction, more than their message, shocked students going to their morning classes. If these cowards really believed in their cause, they would have protested in daylight in Red Square amongst students and peers. Eventually, Fisher Fountain was emptied and cleaned, spray-painted messages were painted over and stickers were scraped off of signs. What momentarily was a topic of discussion Friday was soon forgotten, and students resumed their daily routine. In the United States, citizens have the sacred freedom of speech and the right to express themselves. Friday's destruction goes far beyond the freedom of expression. These cowards broke the law, and nothing was accomplished by doing so. All that was accomplished was giving Western's maintenance team more things to do and giving Western a extra bill to pay. Western gives students several venues to express themselves and their ideas, such as chalking and protesting in Red Square. These options do quite well in getting the message out, and plus, it is legal. Philosopher Henry David Thoreau said the way to refuse government law is through civil disobedience. Thoreau visually showed his disgust for taxation by refusing to pay. One could say the cowards who vandalized Western Friday did nqtrrpractice .civiledisobedience. If they had, they would have protested in front of military installations and enlistment offices.:, Mohandas Gandhi, who many believed perfected civil disobedience, would fast to show his dissatisfaction of British government rule. People saw. his., dedication to his cause. He brought riot to a ceasevby fasting to the brinkof*deat.h. . ; ;..,,; ...... He did not, however, in tne dead of night or early morning, scrawl "Fuck yer bombs" messiages on buildings and sculptures. Rosa Parks kick-started the civil rights movement by simply refusing to sit in the back of the bus. It seems it is the simple things that create the greatest change. No one in history has persuaded people through vandalism. Friday's vandals are not protesters, activists or righteous. They are cowardly criminals. Their message will be soon forgotten after the paint dries on the buildings. ' Frontlines are the opinion of The Western Front editorial board: Heather L. Baker, Homer E. Cook, Jr., Brooke D.

One slight downfall of the experience is the oftentimes turbulent realm of community living spaces. Dorms, apartments and houses can match students with horrific circumstances. One of the most heinous elements of sharing a living space is having to listen to co-habitants getting their swerve on. 'Doesn't anyone have sex in the backseat of a Chevy anymore? Shouldn't they show some consideration for other members of the household? Does horniness have to win?' Sure, in the beginning it is exhilarating. It's almost as if they're doing a special little (and I mean little) performance for your personal benefit. But soon the novelty wears off, and you'd rather be sucking on Mr. T s big toe than listening to their moans and groans.

"I lived in an old house, and I would feel the floor rock back and forth," Wiens said. "You can tell by the rhythm â€” you can tell it's not just the wind. And then the grunting would start." One possibility is the couple are exhibitionists. They know See SWERVE, Page 15 Flag scandal mirrors patriotic 'fetish' Greg Woehler THE BLIND TRUTH When I look at the Associated Students Bookstore display, the display made so famous last week by Western professor Linda Smeins, all I see is a bunch of shirts. They're white, they have a fluttering flag on them. They're 100 percent cotton. Made in Honduras. Smeins said she sees a symbol of American arrogance, a symbol that neutralizes freedom of thought and multiculturalism. She told me the display creates an "us and them" mentality â€” we're right, and they're wrong. She said students going to the bookstore are forced to look at it, forced to submit to its power. Most other people see the flag as a symbol of the indomitable American spirit. It means freedom and justice and unity. For an awful lot of people, the flag is sacred and pure, like the Virgin Mary or their mother's good name. Anyone who dares defile it, insult it, criticize it Or question it isn't making a fashion statement (the shirts are kinda gaudy, aren't they?), they're criticizing the United freaking States of America. 'Criticizing the flag is criticizing soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice so I could be a snotty, spoiled college student'. Smeins has found out just how sacred the flag is to many people. She won't discuss numbers, but she's received several critical letters, some of them downright hateful, since her comments., appeared in this paper a week ago. The flag is an obsession, a fetish in this country. The flag is America's golden calf â€” an idol that must be respected and appeased. We sing its praises in "The Star Spangled Banner." Most nations sing the praises of their actual country in their anthems, but not us. The only mention of our country is in the last line of the song. The rest of it is a song of thanks and praise to an inanimate object brought to life and given the human qualities of strength and perseverance. Something's wrong with that. This is a good country we live in, but an awful lot of people don't ever actually vocalize or even think about why they like it here. They just wave the flag and assume anyone who does otherwise is a troublemaker, a turncoat or a pacifist.

Oct 31st 6pm-lam Flag just symbol of patriotism From FLAG, Page 14 an orgasmic explosion of red, white and blue rah-rah spirit that simmers constantly, just below the surface of this country, and comes out whenever we feel threatened or violated. It's only natural. Americans are craving unity right now. We're wounded, and we feel vulnerable. People want a unified front; they want to believe we're all on the same page. If we all flew the flag and wore the flag and bowed down before the flag and got with the program, we couldn't possibly lose. I'm already waiting for the letters The Front will undoubtedly get about this. People will say veterans fought and died for the American flag. Criticizing the flag is criticizing soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice so I could be a snotty, spoiled college student. That last part is true â€” veterans died for us, and I have nothing but respect and gratitude for them. Thank you for allowing me to be snotty. But to say they fought and died and are fighting and dying in Afghanistan right now for the flag, for a rectangle of cotton and nylon most likely made in China, is preposterous. Life is worth a bit more than that. As a good little Cub Scout, I learned the proper handling of the flag â€” fold it into a triangle, don't fly it at night unless a light shines on it, whatever you do don't let it touch the ground and if it does touch the ground, burn it. I remember all of these things, and you know what? I still obey them. Old habits die hard. But these things are customs, like eating turkey on Thanksgiving or throwing the visiting team's home run balls back onto Wrigley Field. I do them as a nod to tradition, not out of respect for a lifeless object. The flag doesn't care one way or the other what I do with it. Booty-call no excuse for rudeness From SWERVE, Page 14 you can hear them, and they like it. You, as an audience, are their main erotic driving force. Great! Western senior Bryn Johnson vividly recalls living in the dorms. "My roommate's boyfriend lived in California, and they would have phone sex while I was trying to fall asleep," Johnson said. "She used to say, "breathe with me, breathe with me,"' Johnson said. She said she avoided the room at all costs. "We moved our beds out of bunk beds because it was just really nasty to be that close to her," Johnson said. For anyone who has ever woke in the middle of the night to the "err-ee-err-ee" of a galloping bed frame, hope does exists. Find ways to participate and/or fight back. Lube the bed with some WD-40.

Show more1993_1022 ---------- Western Front - 1993 October 22 - Page 1 ---------- ACC examines problems of transfer students, add-drop ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^K^^^^^^^^m^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^B By Kris Alexander staff reporter An easier add-drop process and a smoothertransition for transfer students were on the agenda at the Academic Coordinating Commission (ACC)meeting Oct. 5. The new touch-tone registration process will help lower add-drop activity and keephigh-demand classes open longer, said Peter Elich, member of Western's Enrollment ManagementGroup and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "There's a tendency for students to sign up for justabout anything," he said. "Oftentimes the schedule includes many more courses than (the student)eventually intended to take. So, they might sign up for 18 credits, intending to only take 12 or 13, andthen drop credits at the end, thereby denying other students access to those classes." Once a studentaccesses touch-tone registration, they can continue to call and change their schedule. Add-drop activitywill fowert Elicfii explained. The Enrollment Management Group proposed a plan to help transfer students make smoother progress towards completing Western's degree programs on time. "Apparently, thestudents come here expecting ... to be able to make a smooth transition from an A. A. degree to a major at Western. And partly as a result of communication problems, or largely as a result of that, they findthat once they get here they can'tcontinueon and make normal progress towards a degree," Elich said."They can't get into the courses or major that they want ... There's a great deal of frustration." Theplanwouldprovideapplicants with information about requirements for their major that extend beyondrequirements for admission to Western. A second consideration is to admit students to their major atthe time they are admitted to Western. An additional proposal asks that community college transferstudents be considered as a single pool. At present, students with an associate's degree receivepreference for admission above other transfer students. Also, students with associate's degrees findthey do not have the prerequisites for their intended major, Elich said. The ACC approved an earlierproposal from the Admissions Committee to increase the criterion for preferential admission of transferstudents to a 2.75 grade-point average. If implemented by theadministration, which is currentlyreviewing the proposal, it would guarantee admission to all A.A. transfer applicants with a 2.75. All otherA.A. transfers, commuhiry college transfers and transfers from other institutions would then be treated as part of the same pool, Elich said. "One of the major consequences of that would be to open up morespaces for transfers from other places other than community colleges," he said. Provost for AcademicAffairs Roland See ACC, page 3 Yearbook proposal put aside until possible, practical By StephenDuncan staff reporter At their meeting Oct. 18, the Associated Students Board of Directors put aside the idea of an annual Western yearbook until viable solutions can be found for its roadblocks. Boardmembers are looking into several production possibilities, including a video yearbook, contracting anexternal agency or having a class put it together. The board has ruled out the idea of asking theJournalism Department to revamp Klipsun magazine from a bi-quar-terly publication to year-end one. "I think the one thing we (the AS board) are all unified in is that we don't want to go to the journalismdepartment and try to tell them what to do to make this happen," Vice President for External Affairs TresGallant said. "That's not our place. We support Klipsun magazine in its current form, andwewouldn'twanttoseethatcompromised." Start-up production cost estimates for the yearbook range from$12,000 to $15,000. The costs accrue from the need for an adviser, two computers and software. Thesalary for a part-time adviser could be anywhere from $7,500 to $10,000. Computer estimates start at$1,200 for each unit. "We don't have any idea where the money would come from," AS President KeithBoyd said.

Future articles mil lookat tenant/landlord relationships, realty companies, tenant laws, and the homeless. By VanessaBlackburn staff reporter Bellingham is growing on all sides: more apartments, more people, andunfortunately, more people whocannotaffordhousing. According to the community profile in theCity ofBellingham's recently finished Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), "Bellingham'shousing market is clearly experiencing a significant change. Single-family home prices are increasing,and rental rates are going up." David Cahill, Housing Programs Manager of the city CommunityDevelopment Division, said the lack of affordable housing has many causes, twoof which are anincrease in population, including students, and a shift from high-payingtolower-payingjobs, whichcreates a higher demand for cheaper housing. The population increase has driven prices up, and those with lower incomes have an increasingly difficult time finding places to live. The average rental vacancyrate in Bellingham is lower than thenauonalaverageof3.8percent, according to the CHAS. For one-andtwo-bedroom apartments it's 4 percent, and for three-bedroom apartments it's 2 percent. For duplexes, the average vacancy rate is 1 percent The 1993 Real Estate Research Report reveals that themedianrentfor 1 bedroom is$393, for 2 bedrooms is $495, and for 3 or more bedrooms is $557. Westerncurrently houses one-third of its student population in residence halls and on-campus housing, according to the CHAS.

Designed to provide academicassistance, friendship and cultural exchange, NAMP works alongside Western's LINK program, inwhich college student tutors volunteer in the public school system. Tutors for 1993- 94 will be meetingwith their students for the first time next week. Volunteers for NAMP were recruited by Janice Smith,Indian Education Coordinator for Bellingham School District. Smith, along with one part-timeassistant, was working with 185 Native American middle-school students. She wanted them to have rolemodels encouraging them to stay in school, which led her to contact Western students, she said. Withthe increased drop-out rate among Native American students in the transition from junior high to highsdiool, "I had areal need to ask for help," Smith said. The program began one year ago, with a proposalby Fred Ondeck of the Student Finance Office. He originally requested funds from the WashingtonState Campus Compact, an organization of colleges and universities committed to involvement inpublic service.

NAMP volunteers began tutoring springquarter, 1992. Participation in the program is strictly voluntary for the Native American students.However, most are interested and seem to enjoy receiving the help, Smith said. NAMP has receivedpositive feedback from teachers, who appreciate the extra assistance, she added. Students arematched with volunteers according to needs and interests, usually with someone of the same sex."We try to find the person who will provide the best help for each student," said Marin Younker, NAMPstudent director and volunteer. Younker became aNAMP volunteer because she wanted to learn moreabout Native American culture. She has found much personal satisfaction as a volunteer. "It's greatto see a student improve. You can see that you are helping," Younker said. Although NAMP wasfounded primarily as an educational tool for the Native American teens, it focuses on a culturalexchange between. Native Americans and jbtheic .ethnic groups. Other than tutoring, NAMP volunteerswill also be participating in Native American activities with the students, such as plays, field trips,talking circles, Seattle Art Museum visits and music festivals. "We want this to be a two-wayexchange. There is alot we can learn from the students," Ondeck said.

As of this fall, the Center for Environmental Sciences and the Centerfor Geography and Environmental Social Sciences are administered by different offices, each withits own director and a set of standing committees on such matters as policy and curriculum. Some fearthe division may cause a communications breakdown. Environmental Education instructor WendyWalker said inter- faculty communication had problems before the division. If the faculty doesn'tdevelop a strategy to cope with the academic and physical separation, the problem may grow, Walker said. The new organization limits communication between vastly different disciplines, such aschemistry and anthropology, while the physical separation eliminates casual contact in the halls orchance meetings in the mailroom, Walker said. Faculty member Lynn Robbins said he feels theliabilities far outweigh the benefits of restructuring and did not foresee the resulting fragmentation orhow divisive the physical separation would be. He said the restructuring is not achieving its purpose to reduce paper work, and seems to be compounding it by doubling the number of committees. "I hopethat next quarter the faculty will examine what this (reorganization) has done and examine theliabilities," Robbins said. The Center for Environmental Sciences administers to natural and physicalenvironmental sciences, with majors such as environmental toxicology and aquatic ecology. CenterDirector Jack Hardy's office is in the Environmental Studies building. The Center for Geography andRegional Planning, whose director John Miles' office is in Arntzen Hall, oversees the socialenvironmental sciences, with majors such as environmental journalism and policy and assessmentThe directors report to the dean of Huxley College and the committees select representatives forcorresponding all-college committees. The restructuring and subsequent loss of teaching time forcenter directors also come at a time when students are experiencing the effects of one full-time faculty resignation, one full-time faculty retirement and one reduction to part-time teaching. "I see (therestructuring) as a loss for students who are already short of professors," Huxley senior MicheleLaFontaine said. Huxley senipr Matt Krpgh sjaid the changes to Huxley will give students "narrowlyfocused educations ... which is exactly what Huxley was formed to avoid."

"It isnot the intention that the two centers drift apart," he said. The changes in Huxley began fall quarter 1992 when the Center for Geography and Regional Planning moved from the College of Arts and Sciencesto Huxley. The incorporation forced Huxley to reevaluate its structure and consider whether curriculumgoals and objectives were being met, Storch said. Last spring quarter, an ad hoc committee revisedthe bylaws, which were ratified in early June by a 2-to-l margin in a vote of all faculty and staff and thosestudents on standing committees. Western's Board of Trustees approved the new bylaws over thesummer. Other revisions in the bylaws removed extra wording; clarified responsibilities of the dean, thedirectors and the committees; addressed selection of administrators and committee members; anddefined committee composition. Students sit on all standing committees, except the All-CollegeCurriculum Committee. The bylaws do not explicidy require student membership in this group. Thebylaws also reduced student membership for some other committees. ; r. \ ; â€” Center curricularcommittees are currently revising their curricula for the next biennial university catalog. The All-College Curriculum Committee will present its final recommendations to the college faculty forapproval. "If wearecreativeenough with new curricula we will avoid jeopardizing student education. I'mhopeful that we will," Storch said. BE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISE IN THE WESTERN FRONT 650-3161 ---------- Western Front - 1993 October 22 - Page 5 ---------- October 22,1993 NEWS The Western Front 5 Citizens must help city to solve housing problemsHousing, Continued from page 1 campus and into the community, however. Because affordable housing is difficult to find, some students resort to livingin their cars, house-sitting or staying with friends. Adam Boesel, a senior at Fairhaven college, said he had planned on finding an apartment this year, but afterhis van broke down and he spent half his savings on repairs, he decided living in his van was the bestsolution. He lived there all summer, and if he hadn't found a place to house-sit this fall, he might havestill been in his van and on the streets. Fairhaven student Fred Kline had a similar experience last year."Livingin your car is notfun," he said. "It seems cool at first, but then it gets old." Saving money for first-and last-month's rent, as well as a deposit, can be an unnecessary and unaffordable expense,especially if students spend little time at home, he said. Cahill said having such a large studentpopulation in the rental community has both positive and negative effects on housing rates. Most peopleget the best of what they can afford, but the very low income families have little choice of where to live,he said. "Students help flatten out the curve because it creates a larger rental group," Cahill said. "But, it also forces the lowest income people, like families, to fall out of the bottom of the market." MichaelKarp from the Opportunity Council has developed ways to address such problems by forming theWhatcom County Ad Hoc Housing Committee, an informal advisory group that represents 35 differentorganizations interested in housing issues. The committee is trying to change city and county laws to allow accessory units to be added to property with already existing buildings. He said accessory unitswill help alleviate the housing problem. "It will create cheap and independent living quarters, creatinglots of individual units conducive to a lot of people's budgets," Karp said. It will also create an extraincome for property owners, he said. Karp said this proposition was not created for students per sebut is aimed to suit all kinds of needs.

Village Drum and Masquerade will bring their unique blend of traditional African dancing, storytelling,and music to Western. The Seattle-based Village Drum and Masquerade is comprised of 5-8performers from Liberia, Uganda, Zaire, Ghana, Senegal and the U.S., and was founded on the idea ofpreserving, promoting and protecting African culture. "We're notan act so much as aperfor-mance kind of group to bring education about African culture to the people of the Northwest," said Ghe Ku Vah, founder and group leader, the Bellingham Herald. After coming to Seattle from Liberia in 1984, Vah beganteaching and performing traditional Dan (a tribe in Liberia) dance and music around the Northwestwhich attracted 10 students from the Seattle area and Africa. Vah and his students formedVillage Drum and Masquerade to exercise what they learned and the group has performedeverywhere from the Northwest FolkLifeFestival to S e a t t l e ' s Bumbershootfor the past eight years.

The five actors all lived through the most harshly conformist decades of ourcentury. They saw the birth of the gay movement in the growing optimism of the sixties and seventies. Then, in the eighties, they saw its few advances beaten back by AIDS and the accompanying paranoia. They lived, for the most part, in hiding; their private lives kept rigidly separate from work and family. And now their voices are being heard in ashow thatblends t staged drama with simple Alice Bstorytelling. "Hidden History" was joindy created by Patricia Van Kirk and Drew Emery from a series offorty interviews with elders in Seattle's gay community. The writers selected five of the interviews andwove them into a composite script, emphasizing the single story of courage and long endurance thatlinked their characters' unique experiences. The script was then turned over to the elders, and a finalversion was agreed upon during rehearsals. So began a successful run at the Alice B. Theatre inSeattle. The actors played themselves. Ironically, the play allowed them to tell the truth about their livesmore completely than ever before, through the distancing form ofa scripted performance. Response fromthe audience and critics ranged from fiercely partisan pride to sad,awed respect. The Seattle Timeswrote, "Hidden History radiates the wisdom, humor and maturity of hard-won experience." The playis coming to Western as part of a touring production in conjunction with the human rights organizationHands Off Washington.

"Part of Alice B.'s philosophy is to bringtheatre to communities that normally have no access, and in so doing foster a growing awareness andtolerance," said Siobhan niDhonach, coordinator of the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Alii- . ance. The LGB A is co-sponsoring the play with the Associated Students Social Issues Center. The voices of"Hidden History" aren't fresh views to suburban heterosexuals, though. Sharp generational divisionsbetween gays, marked by the Stonewall riots and the advent of AIDS, have often left thehomosexual community without role models, thus, without a clear sense of its rich past and future. Nosurprise, while America as a whole continues to ignore or belittle its elders. The five actors present theirproud strength as a rebuke to the homophobic system they have survived and offer themselves as acomfort and guide to young homosexuals who are searching for a self-identification they can respect.With suicide, religious violence, drugs and AIDS killing more gays under 25 every year, gay elders canno longer hesitate or apologize for reaching out with parental love to gay youth. "Hidden History" iscertainly a must-see for campus homosexuals, but there is plenty in the play to attract a generalaudience. It is, for one thing, very fine drama. And it showcases a segment of the populationâ€” menand women over 50 â€” weallneed to hear more from. "People need to get stirred up and interact withthe material that's thrown at them," said Robyn Conroy, coordinator of the AS Social Issues Center. "If Ican evoke a response, cause people to Bennion question their boundaries, I'll have reached my maingoals. "I guess I think controversy's a good thing," Conroy said with a grin. Friday's show is a chance for all Western audiences to confront ideas and experiences they have been ignorantof all their lives. Some will choose to reject these ideas, to condemn the experiences. Anyone who sees "Hidden History" willgain a sharper, more complex understanding of the human heart from the play's five extraordinaryactors, starring in the roles they were born to play. Tickets, available at the door and at the PlazaCashier, are $5 for students and $7 for general audiences. There will be a discussion session after theshow. in for ---------- Western Front - 1993 October 22 - Page 7 ---------- October 22,1993 ACCENT The Western Front 7 isic, dance idian sitar, the small, marimba-bn and amultitude of drums ida, Liberia and Nigeria are just he instruments the band plays, g Village Drum andMasquer-ell No Taste, an African ethno-which combines reggae, ca- Dbeat and Zulu jive to create dance beats. ame Smell No Taste is derived West African pigeon English me No Tea," which means hu-rplaying along.

Parker is veryconvincing in her portrayal of Rita, a woman who has fallen in love with a man preoccupied with another woman. She deftly portrays realistic frustration and emotion, allowing the viewer a glimpse of awoman truly in pain. Dillon gives the character of Gus credence with a decent performance. The Dillon-Sciorra magnetism is evident throughout the entire film. Sciorra plays a woman taking a chance on herdreams. Tired of the old way of life, she expands herself and goes to college. There she meets her lover,a married professor. The audience is drawn to Sciorra's performance as she shows the turmoil of aperson trying to shut out the past to reach for the future. Hurt's role is brief but wonderful with intelligentconversations with Sciorra to bitter conflicts with Dillon. Mr. Wonderful is a cute flick with all themysteries of love. All of the characters blend together well for smooth casting and enjoyable escape. ofWarner Bros. review irl Jam's new release fails to satisfy musical expectations ries Lawson gt;rtersound of Seattle has once again taken the music world only a person on LSD could describe.
