For the first time at Western, classes were cancelled to allow students to celebrate Veterans Day. Scott Gregory, coordinator for Western's Veterans Outreach Center, which hosted the event, said the most important theme addressed at the ceremony was the idea that the term veteran applies to more people than those who served in combat. "I think it's great to show support of combat veterans," of course, but I also think it's important to support everyone," Gregory said. Keynote speaker John King, director of the Washington Department of Veterans'Affairs, said veterans are people who served in the military during war, whether they fought in ~ See VETERANS, Page 6 Vikes, Aggies butt heads in final game of season Daniel J.

Women's self defense class focuses on safer behavior By Jen True THE WESTERN FRONT "No, stop!" yelled Sharon Garrett, Home Alive self defense instructor. "Get away!" Garrett and co-instructor Raze Edmonds demonstrated defense tools such as yelling, strikes, safety practices and boundary setting during a three-hour class last Wednesday sponsored by the Assiociated Students Women's Center. Instructors said that these techniques could prevent a woman's rape or murder. "It is pretty likely that you or one of your friends will be attacked at some point in your life, because you are a woman, because you are walking by yourself at night," AS Women's Center co- director Rassamee Bryan said.

The $9.9 million bond fell far short of the 60 percent of the popular vote needed to pass, with less than 48-percent yes vote. The bond's defeat means some proposed improvements may take much longer. Leslie Bryson of the Bellingham Parks Department, director of the skateboard park, said the budget for 2001 does not allocate more money for the skate park not because of Proposition 2, but because the city council already put in the money they wanted to put into the park. Proposition 2 failed because it was "an extensive measure in a See PROP, Page 5 Proposition 2 would have paid for renovations to the Civic Field complex, including improved stadium seating and a new roof. Daniel J. Peters/ The Western Front UW's T.A. troubles not affecting Western assistants By I v o r y F i r s c h i ng THE WESTERN FRONT At the University of Washington, many graduate teaching assistants are talking about a strike with hopes of receiving higher wages and more benefits. Western graduate T.A.'s generally spend about 20 hours per week working. Students receive an average of $900 a month for cost of living, their tuition is waived and they receive basic health insurance benefits. The health insurance does not include dental and optical and is only active when the T.A. is working. 'My position as a T.A. has not been much more than a trumped-up gopher.' Stacy Rasmus Western T.A. According to an article in The Bellingham Herald, "The (UW) teaching assistants say they don't get paid as much as they should, have inadequate health- insurance coverage and must work longer hours than the 20 hour work week specified for them." Graduate student Stacy Rasmus said there are ways to deal with work conditions, besides for going on strike.

Bryan said statistics show one in three women are attacked during their life. Home Alive, a Seattle-based organization, began in 1993 after the rape and murder of Mia Zapata, a local musician. A group of Zapata's friends founded Home Alive after finding that other self-defense classes were expensive and not very accessible, Garrett said. 'At night when you are walking, you want to feel like you have more than a little safety whistle to keep you safe.' Rachel Nicholson Women's Center volunteer "The philosophy became one of giving people options and tools that they can use that fit into their own lifestyles without having to change their behavior and the things that they do," Garrett said. Home Alive instructors receive 72 hours of training before teaching classes. Edmonds elicited discussion about what tools students already use to keep themselves safe. Women in the class said they walk in lit areas, lock doors, act confident, carry self-defence sprays, hold their keys between their fingers and follow intuition. Edmonds said these individual practices are good, but suggest that women are always at risk and responsible for their protection. She said to also consider community awareness and violence prevention. Women's Center volunteer Rachel Nicholson said she was interested in taking the class after a speaker at last year's Take Back the Night addressed on-campus assault. Western only reports the assaults that are prosecuted, Bryan said. Although numbers and individuals are confidential, many assaults do occur, Bryan said. "At night when you are walking, you want to feel like you have more than a little safety whistle to keep you safe," Nicholson said. Garret and Edmonds demonstrated several strikes and defense moves, and set the women loose to practice against pads. "A lot of people take self-defense thinking about strangers attacking you, jumping out the bushes," Garrett said. "We definitely want to give you tools for that kind of situation. But over eighty percent of the time people are attacked by a person they know on a first name basis." Garrett and Edmonds talked about creating physical and emotional boundaries with friends, family, coworkers, authority figures and lovers. Women in the class practiced using body language and vocal tools to get out of uncomfortable situations. Women were taught to tell their aggressor what behavior make them uncomfortable, move away and use eye contact. "We are going to be using a lot of examples with, you know, 'Move back. Stay away. I don't like this,'" Garrett said to the women during the class. "But I would like to make a point that boundaries also include asking for what you need in a relationship where that is appropriate." "The feedback that we get is that people feel really empowered — that it is an inclusive organization." ., Bryan said the AS Women's Center sponsors three self-defense class series each quarter. Western student and Tae Kwon Do black belt Faith Dougherty will teach self-defense today through Thursday from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Environmental Science 310. Angela D.

News clippings, microcassettes, letters, brochures and a dog leash give a sense of how busy her life has become in the past few months. Burbank, a Ferndale resident, smiled when she began to talk about a letter she received recently from the American Red Cross. The letter said a neighbor nominated Burbank for the Red Cross's Real Heroes award. 'There are a lot of children out there that are being put on Ritalin and being diagnosed with ADD that may have sensory integration dysfunction, an allergy or a brain tumor.' Jan Burbank Community activist "I'm happy that someone saw the value in what I am doing to help our children," she said. Burbank is distributing pamphlets to inform" the community and the nation about sensory integration dysfunction and how it closely resembles attention deficit disorder, but is treated without drugs. Burbank said her life was relatively quiet six years ago. She was expecting her first child, and on Sept. 30, 1994, her daughter Nicole was born. The second day after Nicole's birth was when the horrible screaming started.. "I didn't know how to calm this child," she said. "We took her home and the screaming continued and ... that was the longest week of screaming I ever endured in my life," Burbank said. "I was feeling this helplessness, not being able to somehow calm this child down."- Burbank said the days turned into months and the end did not seem near. The doctors thought it was colic. Burbank's mother, a pediatric nurse, thought her granddaughter appeared to be either a fetal alcohol syndrome baby or addicted to drugs. "Nobody had the answer for me," Burbank said. Burbank said she noticed the crying would decrease when she held her daughter. "I held her non-stop," Burbank said. She said at age 2 her daughter verbalized what she needed in order to go to bed. In Spanish, she said, "Mommy, tickle me." The act of tickling helped Nicole expend enough energy to sleep. Some nights, she said, that was just not enough. "I would tie her door knobs so she would stay in her room," Burbank said. Gradually, she said, Nicole's fits became worse. She would punch herself in the head and kick and punch her parents. "She was throwing up because she cried so much," Burbank said. When Nicole was four, she attended a Montessori school. Her speech skills and motor skills decreased and the teachers did not know how to reach the troubled child. Burbank had had enough. She took her daughter to see a series of doctors and began researching her daughter's symptoms. One day, Burbank picked up the book, The "Out-of-Sync Child," by Carol Stock Kranowitz, about sensory integration dysfunction. "This is what my daughter had," Burbank thought after she read a few pages. She said Nicole had all the symptoms in the book, such as avoiding being touched, avoiding movement, complaining about odors and noises, being insecure about gravity, unaware of pain and ignoring voices. Burbank immediately began administering a sensory diet. For 15 minutes each day she stimulated her daughter either by squeezing or tickling her. Like a food diet, a sensory diet is administered for a certain amount of time on a regular basis. After a week, Burbank said she began to see improvements. She said Nicole was happier and often asked to be held. In the past, that had been a rarity. After a month, she saw that Nicole's motor and speech skills were improving. Burbank said she went back to the pediatrician for a referral for her daughter to have a neurological evaluation. The doctor declined to give the referral and said what her daughter needed could be taken care of by a psychiatrist. By chance, Burbank said she, got an appointment at Seattle's Swedish Medical Center to get a neurological evaluation. Burbank had waited four years to hear the doctor's diagnosis confirm that Nicole had sensory integration dysfunction. "One of my goals is to have this disorder recognized by the school district and across the nation," Burbank said. "There are a lot of children out there that are being put on Ritalin and being diagnosed with ADD that may have sensory integration dysfunction, an allergy or a brain tumor," Burbank said. "My two missions are, No.l, to educate society about sensory integration dysfunction; and No. 2, to increase awareness of the effects of Ritalin in our children," Burbank said. With the help of the doctor who diagnosed her daughter, with volunteers and donations from com- • panies, Burbank has published a brochure about sensory integration dysfunction which can be picked up at any Whatcom ~ County library. She said she is working on getting a non-profit status so she can apply for more funding. Burbank said she is not content just to spread the news in" Whatcom County. She already has sent packets containing video and news clips to talk show hosts such as Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah Winfrey, and is awaiting their responses. She continues to work as a physical therapist assistant and a massage therapist at the Bellingham Physical Therapy, and also is writing a book recounting her experience with her daughter. With her book, she said she hopes parents with children similar to Nicole know that an answer exists.

Dr. Emily Gibson, medical director of Western's Student Health Center, said there was a problem with one of the batches that was growing the influenza viral strain. "Interesting enough, we heard that Canada has had the vaccine for a little over a month," Gibson said. "We are receiving our vaccine in mid-November. We're anticipating getting 800 doses. We ordered over 1,000." The shortage is getting so bad that the elderly have to flock to grocery store chains in order to find relief. At this point in the game, the businesses are getting the vaccine before the physicians, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. The CDC and Gibson urged all people over 65 years of age, adults or children six months of age or older who have chronic medical conditions, women in their second or third trimester of pregnancy and people in contact with other high-risk groups to get the influenza vaccine as soon as possible. Gibson said that students who suffer from diabetes and other chronic diseases should get their shots as soon as they can. The CDC hopes to distribute up to 75 million shots until the end of this year's flu season. Helen Lorenz, R.N., said this is the first year for a concern about vaccine delay. If a shortage does occur, the WCHHS said it will make sure all high-risk groups are given first priority. Others can wait until late November or early December to get vaccinated. Former Western student Tina Turner talked about the importance of getting a flu shot. She said she tries to get a flu shot every year. Because of those shots, Turner said she has not contracted the flu virus in years. Gibson said a rapid flu test is done from a throat swab. A student should stop by the health center within 48 hours of feeling sick. A rapid test will then be performed to confirm that the patient actually has influenza. This way medication can be used immediately to lessen the length of time the patient will be sick. Influenza vaccines for non-risk students will be available by mid-November. The vaccine costs $10. "Just like your grandmother told you, get lots of rest and lots of fluids and you can fend off most viruses that come your way," Gibson said. Proposition 2 would not have given funding to skatepark, as county already allocated funds From PROP, page 1 year where there were other tax rate hikes and propositions proposed," city council member John Watts said. "Taxpayers had to put a limit on what they could afford." Former city council member 'Fixed-income seniors have pride ...We support essential services, not wasteful spending.' Bob Hall Retired Teacher and retired teacher Bob Hall conceded some things in the proposal do need to be done. However, Hall said he felt the majority of the bond issue was "unjustified," "outrageous" and "scandalous." "If you look around town you see signs appealing to our civic pride," Hall said. Hall said he felt this was unjustified. "Fixed-income seniors have pride; we vote for school levies and bonds, we supported and voted for the recent fire station bond." Hall said. "We support essential services, not wasteful spending." Watts said people are willing to spend on things that are necessary. "This is reflected in the percentage approval of the much- needed fire station bond," Watts said, adding when it came to voting for Proposition 2, people chose to conserve their funds.

"It's important to always honor veterans who have made our freedom possible and to also recognize our nation's defenders who are currently on active duty, who continue to protect our freedom," King said. "We must be diligent in guarding against terrorism and oppression of others and we should never take our freedom for granted." Vice President for Diversity Bruno Cross provided further insight to the meaning of veteran by reading two letters. Cross, who served seven years in the Navy, fighting the Persian Gulf War, read a soldier's letter to his sweetheart during WWI and a letter he wrote during the Persian Gulf War. Cross said he wanted to show that two soldiers from two very different time periods and wars shared similar problems, fears and hopes, as well as the difficulties and ugliness of war. "The reason I chose to read the letters is because I wanted to demonstrate the thread between servicemen that served-in WWI to the servicemen that served in the Persian Gulf," Cross said. "At the time that the letters were written there was no thinking involved. It was emotional. It was true feeling coming out and more people can identify with that and I wanted to be able to identify with everyone." Cross said it is hard for him to talk about his experience as a veteran with people who weren't with him or can't relate to his experience. He said for more people to understand and appreciate veterans, it is necessary for them to be able to relate with the feelings of veterans, if not the experiences. 5? 'The reason I chose to read the letters is because I wanted to demonstrate the thread between servicemen that served in WWI to the servicemen that served in the Persian Gulf.' Bruno Cross AS V.P. for Diversity and veteran VOC employee James Pirtle said Cross' letters affected him emotionally because of the strong feelings behind each letter. "I think the most touching speech was Bruno Cross' letters," Pirtle said. "They give testimony to the reality that veterans are real, normal people with hearts, feelings and loved ones and sometimes they don't come back. We need to remember that."

Bagpipers stand in the Performing Arts Center plaza (upper left) after Friday's Veteran's Day ceremony. Matthew Buonadonna, an employee of the VOC, said before he joined the Army, he thought of veterans as people like his grandfather, who fought in WWII, but never understood the importance of honoring them. "This is the first time I've really participated in the Veterans Day celebration," Buonadonna said. "This gives me a whole new outlook since I am an Army veteran. I guess I never really understood what the whole celebration was about, or the importance of the celebration, until I had a chance to serve in the armed forces." Buonadonna said he felt wonderful participating in Western's celebration and was honored to be included. "I'm part of a very rich heritage in the history of the country that I didn't even know existed," Buonadonna said. Have you been to the Bellis Fair Mall lately?

"This should be a collaborative effort between the T.A. and the professor where the T.A.'s duties are outlined. This provides a document that coufd work to protect the T.A. from putting in too many hours. Thus there are other outlets for job protection that do not involve resorting to a strike." John Steffen is a graduate student of the Biology department and a T.A. for Biology 101. "T.A.'s.at this university take on a moderate, but challenging quantity of responsibilities, but do not suffer the workload problems that are experienced at larger universities," Steffen said. "I am fully supportive of their (UW T.A.'s) efforts to unionize, and am supportive of a strike. Their workload is tremendous and health insurance benefits are probably limited in their coverage." Rasmus said she feels differently. "If T.A.'s are unhappy, they need to consult with the professor and the department staff as to their concerns," she said. "There is no universal basis for judgment or assessment here, thus a totalizing action like a strike is completely inappropriate." Job descriptions vary on what department a T.A. is assisting in. "Teaching a lab involves preparing a 10 to 20 minute lecture, guiding students through laboratory exercises, creating quizzes and grading papers," Steffen said. "As a T.A. an individual also participates in a weekly lab meeting with major professors and fellow teaching assistants. In these meetings the past week's class performance is discussed and next weeks lab activity is reviewed." Rasmus is a teaching assistant for an Anthropology 104 class. "My position as a T.A. has not been much more than a trumped-up gopher," she said. "I enter grades, do some of the grading of papers, run paperwork around for the professor, make overheads for the lectures, field some student inquiries, hold an office hour every day and run the audiovisual equipment in the classroom. It is at times frustrating and demanding in an emotional sense (because) dealing with angry, disappointed or lethargic students is not ever easy, especially when you are in a marginal authority. * * "I am grateful for my T.A. position in my department, especially considering my condition. I am nine months pregnant and due to have a baby at any time. I was awarded a T.A.- ship in the spring when my condition was already known. I feel that my department's willingness to hire me .knowing I would be out a few weeks during the quarter qualifies as a benefit." Steffen said he would like to see optical and dental insurance benefits aded. He said life insurance also seems necessary, at least for those graduate T.A.'s who are married and/or have families. "If it were feasible for the university to raise salaries without incurring a cost to some other important university function and our salaries remained at this level, I would say (Western) is unfair," Steffen said. "But truthfully I don't understand the budget and don't know how our salaries relate to other services." Angela D.

For many, the rain slips into their jackets and down their backs. Yet most only begrudgingly suck in a breath or pause to blow morning steam away. For 20-year-old Western junior John Hardwick, the cold hardly seems fair. "I'm in pain walking to class," he joked, grimacing. Cold precipitation is an invitation, a tease of the promise winter holds in store for young snow riders. And Hardwick wants to make it pay. Hardwick is part of a growing legion of local snowboarders waiting impatiently for new snowfall at Washington state's ski resorts. He and Bernadette Castner are two of a small handful of Western students trying to capture the glory of snowboarding on film and make money doing it. Hardwick admitted he had very little notion on the technical side of making a snowboard movie before producing "The Temple" last year. "I had no idea even how to shoot," he said. "I thought I could make something happen." Hardwick and friends Kurt Jenson, 25, of Index, and Eric Brandt, of Seattle, collaborated on the movie. "We rode Stevens (Pass) a lot, and knew some decent boarders from the area," he said. "These guys filmed themselves and were going to give their footage to Bernadette, but I said I could make the film. I guess the rest is history." Hardwick picked up a Super- Justin Fields takes it through the trees at Crystal Mountain. Photos by Bernadette Castner 1998/ Special to The Western Front 8 camera and began filming. The result: a 48- minute package of snowboarding footage from Stevens Pass, additional footage from Oregon's Mount Hood gained over the summer, and random friends' footage, all packaged with a Kung Fu theme. "I'd have to say Kurt (Jenson) came up with it. We were watching cheesy Kung Fu movies. He just came out of the blue one day and said, 'We have to make this movie Kung Fu! And it just kind of snuck its way in there." "The Temple" is Hardwick's first baby step into the multi-million dollar winter-sports theme movie production business. Business is looking up for. the transfer from Seattle. Hardwick's film caught the eye of representatives from the binding company Libtech. The company already has committed money to help Hardwick produce another movie this winter. On Nov. 9, Hardwick met with representatives from major companies in the snow-gear outfitting industries, including O'Neill and Oakley. "(My group) is trying to go national," he said. "We're trying to compete with the bigger guys." Hardwick plans to take Liptech's money and film in a variety of locations across the nation, including Mount Baker, where he has never filmed before. "I'm stoked to be here next to Baker," he gasped. "Oh yeah, a nice snowfall this year, a nice, dry snow. A cold winter would be a drag though." Castner, at 24 years young, however, seems like an old pro compared to Hardwick and rookie to Miller's seniority. Castner has worked in snowboarding photography for seven years. She has photographed riders for 3rd Hit Magazine and ski resorts in the area. Despite her experience, Castner found her first feature film, "The Ends of the Earth" (1999), a huge challenge. "The hardest experience ever. I was very happy as a photographer," she said. "I made all the mistakes I needed to; cutting shots off, redoing shots. It was a tough learning curve." Castner used her clout and connections as a popular local photographer to gather support and riders for the film. She estimated she knew 90 percent of the riders in "The Ends of the Earth" from previous shoots alone. The familiar faces made other aspects of filming less harrowing. "I learned so much about getting sponsors, facets of marketing," she said. "There was not enough time to learn. It was tough to get money. I literally built a movie, $10,000, on credit." The movie sold 3,000 copies, enough to not just break even, but buy a digital camera for her next endeavor, "Ride of Passage." Castner enjoyed three openings for "Ride of Passage" this fall: one at the I-Spy club in Seattle for "industry types," one at Boundary Brewery and Bistro and another on Western's campus.

"First, the quality of film is better. Second, the snow, well, it was like Tahoe. And third, I really knew what I was doing. It's all about promoting friends - they totally benefit. It comes down to me doing something with the footage." Castner's experience behind the lens as a photographer and impressive independent sales led to a job this fall. She now works for 4-1-1, a video magazine produced quarterly. Castner handles all 4-1-1 filming done in Washington and Alaska. "I'll do my own stuff sometimes, freelance things, but mostly for 4-1-1," she said. Photo by Bernadette Castner/ Special toThe Western Front Jaqui Berg catches air at Summit West. Hardwick and Castner both find time to plan their next cinematic move in the midst of classes. "It's tough to manage staying in school," Hardwick said. "I just want to get smart." After a long night of classes, Hardwick considered his situation, a two-year transfer, technically a junior at Western, but little direction. "I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just treading water," he said. Castner said her focus has to be on school, despite the promise of a cold, snowy winter. "To be honest, I'm working on graduating. (One film) is about a year process. There's some lag time, but fortunately I'm not doing it by myself," she said. Both filmmakers were riders long before the idea of boarding films came about. "I began as a wee child," Hardwick said. "There I was, "I did "The Temple' to get involved in the industry. Really, I'd rather chuck my camera in the snow. It's a drag when there's three feet of snow, and you're sitting behind a camera." Hardwick rolled his eyes at this and paused; perhaps hoping the morning's rain is a sign of precipitation to come. "The coldest winter ever!" Castner shouts. "That means we're going to have Utah snow." She projects a bit into the future, real- ' / had no idea even how to shoot," he said. "I thought I could make something happen.' John Hardwick Western filmmaker izing that she may not want to make these films forever. Castner said finishing her biology classes come way before her films, but aren't nearly as fulfilling as making fresh tracks with a snowboard. "All of your cares and worries melt away," she says. "All of the shit: work, school, work, environmental issues, it all goes away." Hardwick puts a smile on an otherwise gloomy comment: "Life's just a drag without snow." He laughed, put his sweater hood on, and shuffled into the crowd of students milling through Red Square, mulling over the chance of a nice, cold winter.

Bellingham International Airport is a small building, about one-fourth the size of Red Square, that houses two major airlines — Horizon and United — four rental car businesses, a duty-free shop and a cafe. "This will do the trick," Muriel Anderson whispered to herself as she was handed a steaming vanilla latte. "After all, I do have an hour wait," she reminded a smiling face behind the counter. Anderson, a 62-year-old Vancouver, B.C., native, made her way to Bellingham International Airport, her gateway to Las Vegas. "I can't wait to make some cash!" she exclaimed as she took a seat at the indoor patio of Halibut Henry's, the gift shop and cafe where she got the latte. Anderson said she is a Vegas junkie. "I go several times a year; it's like a holiday." Each time Anderson has made her trek to Nevada, she has flown out of Bellingham International Airport. Many casino-ready Canadian citizens have followed in Anderson's footsteps. Vancouver, B.C.'s, airport is no longer servicing flights to Reno or Las Vegas, prompting many to make the voyage south. "It's not bad, you know," Anderson said. "I drive an hour and pay nearly the same price as if I were leaving from home. Plus I get this good coffee." Anderson, as well as many others, are soon going to be disappointed because of Bellingham International's decision to end casino charter flights. .4' Rae Wilson, coordinator in charge of casino flights at the airport, said the flights are ending for now, but may resume in January. As Anderson sipped her drink, a crowd of about 80 filtered through the burgundy-and- orange decorated port. Few made their way to the various rental car businesses that line the walls of the port. Photos by Nicole Sarsfield/The Western Front Passengers board a Seattle-bound plane at the Bellingham International Airport. Horizon Air is one of two major airlines that use the airport. Others formed a line of softs that paraded around the ticket counter of Horizon Airlines. Smiling faces and amplified conversations filled the small port. 5Tfello, my name is Brian and I am a supervisor for Horizon Air ... " an intercom system echoed over the top of conversations and transactions. "This is the second Casino Express group that has come through today," said Melissa Photo by Nicole Sarsfield / The Western Front A passenger waits for his flight at Bellingham International Airport. BIA is considering remodeling its waiting area to include a bar. Lyons, a Western senior and employee at Halibut Henry's. "And that is about the 40th latte I have made since my shift started," she said as she nodded at Anderson. Aside from the trips to and from gamblers' paradise, Bellingham International Airport also services flights to and from the Seattle-Tacoma Airport. Lyons said these flights are generally filled with passengers flying either for business or catching a connecting flight. "It is almost cheaper to fly straight from here to SeaTac than to drive and leave your car or take a cab." Lyons said. "And it is definitely easier." As the sun began to fade the sound of the humming engines of a 737 bound for Vegas shuttled off into the distance, a shadow cast from the control tower blanketed the runway. From behind the windows of the exterior baggage claim, the runway looked close enough to touch. The pilfering wind swooped through the covered corridor and knocked at overhead signs. A faint buzzing noise gave way to the recorded announcement, "Hello, my name is Brian and I am a supervisor for Horizon Air..." Dancing signs inform passengers that aside from Horizon airlines, Bellingham is also home to United Express airlines and IsleWest Air, which offers direct flights to the San Juans. Nestled behind the strip of smoothly paved runway lies fields of hangars lined up like rows of corn. Each hangar houses a private or company-owned plane, jet or helicopter. Local people can house.their aircraft at the airport for a fee. "The CEO of Oakley Sunglasses has a jet here," Lyons said. "He lives on Orcas Island and flies to and from his headquarters in Oakland." Lyons also mentioned she has worked on catering orders for his flights. Across the way from Halibut Henry's gift shop and cafe sits a duty-free shop with hollow liquor containers lining the back wall. Catalogs lay on the counter for Canadian travelers to consider. 'Teople always get excited when they see the liquor bottles on the wall," Lyons said. "They think they can buy it here, but it is just for pick up at the border. They buy it here because they won't get taxed at the duty-free store." Lyons said one of the questions she is asked most frequently is where the lounge is located. Bellingham International Airport has no bar inside, although Lyons mentioned that there is a possibility that may change in the next few years. "There has been talk of a complete remodel," she said. Everything is going to be relocating and expanding in the future." Lyons said the plan includes adding couches and a fireplace in the already cozy atmosphere of the port. Currently the airport is filled with rows of cream-colored seats, chair-lined tables and one television broadcasting the FOX news channel around the clock. "Can't someone change this channel?" Gregg Griffith asked aloud no one in particular. He waved a hand disparagingly at the elevated television screen momentarily blasting election propaganda. Airport employees who overheard chuckled to themselves and smiled knowingly. Griffith, 48, from Surrey, B.C., was not waiting for a.flight. He was counting down the time he had to wait until the airport shuttle would come to pick him up and return him home. "I just came in from California to Sea-Tac and now here," Griffith said. "It has been a long day." "I have taken the shuttle before and it is nice; no driving for me. Just take me there, Mr. Shuttle driver." Griffith said, laughing. His laughter was quieted when an announcement came overhead. "Shhh, shhh," he said, quieting himself. "It may be about the shuttle." "Hello, my name is Brian and I am a supervisor for Horizon Air..." No employees seemed to notice it. They seemed trained to ignore the repetition. "Ah, it's just one of those," Griffith said. "Well, I have got a few minutes," he said, glancing at his watch. "Guess I should get myself a latte." With that, he headed toward the inside. ---------- Western Front 2000-11-14 - Page 11 ---------- November 14, 2000 Features The Western Front • 11 Take a The Bellingham area is known for its recreation and trails — many can be found in our own backyard walk By Erin Crumpacker THE WESTERN FRONT On a silver-colored bay, soft silhouettes of the San Juan islands can be seen from a lookout point outside of Larrabee State Park. Where is this spectacular view? Right here in Bellingham, among the many trails and hiking excursions Whatcom county has to offer. Western junior Sarah Fidino looked out at the bay at a popular lookout point outside of Fragrance Lake and said she especially enjoys the scenery hiking provides. "It's so beautiful here with a great view of the bay and all the fall colors," Fidino said. "When it gets really windy on the trails it looks like it's raining leaves." The Outdoor Center's Brynne Edwards, a Western graduate student, said the Chuckanut Mountains are not only great to hike, but also to trail run. For people interested in a fairly easy walk or run, Edwards recommended Lake Padden, Sehome Hill Arboretum and the Interurban trail. The 2.6-mile loop around Lake Padden, located south of Samish Way, is a popular place for walkers and joggers. Hikers can increase the mileage if they'd like either by hiking another loop or by following one of the many trails connecting to the Lake Padden trail. Sehome Hill Arboretum is the closest hike for students living on campus. This 2-mile loop offers hikers a view of the 165-acre natural arboretum^ sandstone outcropping and a tunnel. Hikers also can hike up to a lookout tower for a nice view of the city. The Interurban trail begins in Fairhaven and ends near Larrabee State Park. The trail has several entrances. Depending where one begins, its length can range from 3 to 6 miles one way. This trail has switchbacks and leads through Arroyo Park, Chuckanut Creek and through parts of the Fragrance Lake trail until it ends in Larrabee State Park. "The Interurban trail is flat and easy," Edwards said. "It was built on an old railroad bed, so it is fairly wide." The Interurban trail is a good choice for walkers and mountain bikers because the trail is wide, she added. If hikers are looking for more difficult hikes, Chuckanut Mountain offers Pine and Cedar Lakes and Fragrance Lake trails. "Pine and Cedars (trail) is a good workout because (the trail) goes straight up," Edwards said. To find the entrance of the Pine and Cedar lake trail, hikers need to follow Chuckanut Drive 1.3 miles south, turn left on Old Samish Highway and follow it 1.9 miles. This will bring hikers to a parking lot and entrance to the trail. The Pine and Cedar Lake trail is a 6- mile round trip hike. Edwards said it's a good hike, but difficult to trail run. "You'd have to be an iron-woman to do it," Edwards said. "It's that steep." The Fragrance Lake trail is located right off of Chuckanut Drive across the street from the Larrabee State Park entrance. Edwards adds the location of this trail makes it the most popular trail in the Chuckanut Mountains. The Fragrance Lake trail is a 4- mile round trip hike. It takes hikers into deep forests and then on a loop around the Photos by Daniel J. Peters / The Western Front Jennifer Way (top) climbs a set of stairs to continue her run through a Boulevard Park trail and along its waterfront. The park's trails attract runners, bikers and walkers such as Doris Wunsch and Bill Goodman who took in a cold, sunset walk Monday. lake. Two Sehome High School seniors, Kate Seabury and Todd Osborne hiked up to the look out point, on the Fragrance Lake trail for the first time three weekends ago. They said they hadn't hiked much in the Chuckanuts because he usually hiked the great trails in the Mt. Baker area. Edwards agreed Mount Baker has great trails, but added that a lot of the trails aren't accessible until August, September and October because of the amount of snow Mount Baker receives. Edwards said she thinks hiking is good in the Chuckanuts during any time of the year. "Sometimes the lakes freeze, but the majority of the trails are hikable all year round because there's no problem with snow," Edwards said. Osborne said he thinks differently about the best time of year to hike in the Chuckanuts. "The best time to hike in this area is August to mid September," Osborne said. "The weather is really nice and it's usually not raining." He added in October, rain can be a problem. It's for this reason Edwards recommends hikers bring their rain coats. "You can get high enough that the weather could change and be nasty enough where you would need warm clothing," Edwards said. She also recommended hikers always take water and food. Getting lost in the Chuckanut Mountains is possible because the trail systems in the area are all connected, she added. "There are fairly good signs now marking trails but it's easy to get turned around up there because a lot of (the trail) looks really similar," Edwards said. ---------- Western Front 2000-11-14 - Page 12 ---------- 12 • The Western Front Features November 14,2000 Remembering the good Veterans Day brings up many memories. George Drake would like to focus on the positive ones By Jackie Martin THE WESTERN FRONT At 70, George Drake has a list of lifetime accomplishments that would impress Bill Gates. But it was the year he served in the Korean War that mapped the rest of his life, Drake said. Drake served in the Korean War in 1952 and 1953 as part of the 326th Communications Reconnaissance Company. He said he hated the destruction, the loss of life and the debasement of human values that were part of the Korean War. "But there were some incredibly loving, compassionate actions, on such a scale that it boggles the mind," Drake said. "I mean the fact that thousands of kids were saved...we're talking about marines going into no-man's land and rescuing 200 children who are living like animals and dying of starvation. As they brought the kids out, those marines were crying." It was this aspect of United States involvement in the war that inspired Drake to spearhead the Korean War Children's Memorial, which will commemorate the humanitarian aid of the United States Armed Forces to the children of Korea from 1950 to 1953, Drake said. "I want the memorial to recognize that the American servicemen rendered acts of compassion, of humanitarianism way beyond one's imagination," Drake said. "That's a story that has to be told." During and after the war, thousands of servicemen and women helped to save and support more than 10,000 orphans. Photo Courtesy of George Drake George Drake sits with two unidentified orphans and packages from across the United States. During and after the Korean War, servicemen like Drake wrote letters requesting supplies for the orphanages. GIs spent their spare time visiting with children at orphanages established by the U.S. military. Servicemen brought the hungry children food, clothing and toys and wrote letters to friends and family at home soliciting supplies for the orphanages. Drake said more than 2,000 tons of supplies came in as a result of their letter- writing campaign. "A neighbor of mine commented that it was a way for us to reconfirm that we were decent human beings," Drake said. "A guy has to be taught to aim a gun at somebody and shoot and kill them," Drake said. "That is not natural instinct. Natural instinct is to pick up a crying child." Drake said his involvement in the company orphanage committee was intense. During his first six months in Korea, he sent out more than 1,000 letters soliciting help for the orphans. He said he spent more than 20 hours each week on orphanage affairs after his regular shifts in the operations tent or on guard duty. Susan Allen lost her parents during the Korean War and lived at one of the orphanages. She was adopted by an American family when she was 8 years old. Because of what the American servicemen did for the orphans during and after the war, she said, they will always have a special place in her heart. "We were so happy when they came over," Allen said. "They would give us gum and candy. One winter I remember we didn't have any food and they came over with little boxes of cereal. We just savored it. "We didn't even have water because it was so cold. I remember the soldiers coming and saving the day again." Working with the orphans had an incredible impact on the soldiers, Drake said. "The rest of my life, I was sensitive to the needs of the people who were at the bottom of any pile of crap that society dumped on them," he said. After the war, Drake graduated from University of California at Berkley and entered the U.S. Foreign Service. He went to Manizales, Colombia, where he served as the director of the Centro Colombo-Americano, the city's cultural center. He said he spent many weekends visiting the city's poorest slums. "I really feel it was the exposure to the plight of the orphans and the battered civilian population in Korea that made me sensitive to the problems of survival of the poorest sector of this city in Colombia," Drake wrote in a short autobiography he posted on the Web site for the Korean War Children's Memorial. After returning to the U.S. and earning his doctorate degree in sociology at the University of Wisconsin, Drake moved to Bellingham where he took a position teaching sociology at Western until he retired in 1990. While at Western, Drake chaired the university's Center for East Asian Studies and served_as director of the Office for International Programs. He was the first doctoral professor at Western to be elected to the Bellingham City Council. Drake now devotes his time to developing the Korean War Children's Memorial, which is dedicated to honoring the good that came out of the war. Drake said he feels many people remember only the atrocities of the Korean War. "How about giving some recognition to the fact that over 10,000 children's lives were saved by very purposeful, meaningful acts of American servicemen," Drake said. "Why must so much energy and emotion be spent on the negative and not one moment of time spent recognizing the incredibly wonderful, loving, humanitarian things done by the troops?" 'The rest of my life, I was sensitive to the needs of the people who were at the bottom of any pile of crap that society dumped on them.' George Drake Korean War veteran All funding for the memorial has come out of Drake's pocket, most of which is insurance money he collected from a bicycle accident. Drake said it has been a challenge to find monetary support elsewhere. Right now Drake is working with officials of an American military base in Korea who are interested in the project and might adopt it. At the moment, however, the memorial remains a one-man mission. Drake said he is desperate for volunteers. The memorial will be built at Big Rock Garden Park in Bellingham, in the form of a traditional tiled Korean temple roof atop four poles. The memorial will symbolize the shelter given to the lost, wandering, homeless, hungry and ill children who were taken in and cared for by American armed forces personnel, Drake said. As part of the dedication of the memorial building, a bronze sculpture of a boy on crutches also will be dedicated. The sculpture will symbolize the war's impact on children. The memorial's dedication originally was scheduled for fall 2000. Drake said the dedication has been postponed indefinitely due to the lack of monetary support.

The Aggies held off the Vikings for a 35-28 victory in front of 3,500 chilly fans Saturday at Civic Field. "Our kids showed a lot of character and grit today to come back and be in the game," head coach Rob Smith said. "I think we grew today as a football team and as a program." Western, ranked 18th in this week's NCAA Division II coaches poll and fifth in the West Region, completed its season 7-3. The Vikings had a school-record 10th straight non-losing season, but the loss snapped its streak of 11 consecutive home victories. They will also miss the playoffs. UC-Davis, ranked first in the West, remained unbeaten and will host a national playoff game next week. - The Aggies jumped to a 28-0 lead in the first quarter, scoring 1:14 into the game on a 10-yard pass from quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan to Michael Oliva. O'Sullivan hit Jordan Bugarske for a 25-yard score on the following series, then converted on a pair of one-play drives for touchdowns. "We had a excellent game plan, it was just lack of execution in that first quarter," quarterback Scott Mitchell said. "You can't give any team a 28-point lead, much less a team as good as UC-Davis," Smith said. 'They're like sharks, when they smell blood, they go for it. It's hard to stop that kind of momentum." But Western turned the momentum on the next Aggie possession when linebacker Dan Ball forced O'Sullivan to fumble and Steve Bernardy recovered. Four plays later, Mitchell ran for a one-yard touchdown. The Vikings scored again on their next possession, going 97 yards on five plays. Pinned on their own three yard line, Mitchell found Greg Dykstra for a 62-yard pass play. Four plays later, Nyle Chambers scored on a 20-yard run. "They were fast but we've faced better defensive backs," Dykstra said. "We knew we could throw on them. In the second half, we made their cornerbacks come up a little and forced them to adjust, but it's tough to come from 28 down." Western cut the lead to 28-21 off an inter- Photos by Daniel J.

UC-Davis threatened another score, but Martez Johnson intercepted a pass to stop the drive. "It was an emotional game, and things can go good or bad," Johnson said. "We let it go bad. When you get down that big, that fast, it's hard to come back but we got back into it." After the first quarter, the Viking defense tightened up, looking like the defense that was dominant all year long. "I was very pleased with the way our defense reacted to adversity," Smith said. "And we felt if we held them, our offense could get us back into it, which they did. It was just a couple costly turnovers at the end, but I'm very proud of the way our team competed." Western got its best chance to tie the game late in the third quarter. At its own 21, Western drove downfield, with Mitchell twice converting on third-down passes. But, on third-and-six, Sean Marshall was drilled after a reception and fumbled, with UC-Davis recovering at the 12. The Aggies then went 88 yards in eight plays, with Charley Enos making three See FOOTBALL, Page 16 Jobs and Summer Internships Engineering and Business Programs with Proven Results Visiting on Wednesday, November 15th Solectron Corporation Engineering Technology and the Manufacturing Management Program welcome Solectron Washington to WWU.

Midnight Madness is not only a pre-season opportunity for Western's women's and men's basketball teams to practice their talents, but also a showcase for the Blue Crew, cheer squad and dance team. After an introduction of both basketball teams, the evening began with a routine from Western's cheer squad, filled with amazingly high basket tosses and pyramids. The crowd's favorite Blue Crew member, the "Sub Chucker," followed the cheerleaders' performance by throwing sub sandwiches into the audience. Dressed in a Blue Crew T-shirt with a blue and white face and a white wig, the "Sub Chucker" is otherwise known as Western student Shane Edwards. "I like giving out free food," Photos by Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Who was that wrapped man: Toilet-paper covered assailants (above) unleash a torrent of tissue on the Midnight Madness crowd. Darnell Taylor (below) takes the Slam Dunk crown. Stacy Miller (right) prepares to blow away the men's team in the 3-point shootout. Edwards said. "If I couldn't do this fan relay race where winners I would be yelling and screaming in the stands anyway, but this way I still get to do it and it's fun for the crowd." After another game, the sports received pizzas, the teams scrimmaged for eight minutes each. "This is great for the student body and a great way to tip off the basketball season because it creates enthusiasm," men's basketball coach Brad Jackson said. "We are anxious to play someone else." The next event was an old game show rip-off called "Let's Make a Deal." " The biggest prize given away was $100 for textbooks. Other contestants received T-shirts and food coupons, but everyone went away laughing. Two previously friendly teams became rivals during the three-point shoot-out, with the men's team competing against the women. . The women's team was trying to break the men's two-year winning streak. Stacy Miller, a sophomore transfer student from Washington State University, gave the women an early lead in the competition, making 14 three-point shots in 30 seconds. "I couldn't believe it, I just started shooting and I kept mak- 'Ijust started shooting and I kept making them.

"People told me later that no one was even looking at the guys basket, they were all watching me." The women's team ended the men's winning streak with a final score of 45-28. With two rounds of tough competition, the men's dunk contest is not easy to win. Twenty-one-year-old junior Darnell Taylor managed to beat out his teammates after dunking and hanging on the rim, much to the crowd's delight. "I like to see spirit like this," said Donelle Day, coordinator for the Blue Crew. "I have to admit, I am very glad this night is over. Everything went great tonight and we even had a full house, which we didn't think we would, since it's a holiday weekend."

The Vikings lost to Seattle Pacific University, 3-1, Friday and were swept by Brigham Young University- Hawaii Saturday. The Vikings placed fourth in the conference and ended their season with a record of 24-9. • In the semifinal match Friday against SPU, the Vikings lost 2-15, 10-15, 15-12 and 10-15 .despite a match-high 22 kills by middle blocker Michelle Parker. Parker also had a team-high five blocks. Outside hitter Niki Smith had 20 kills, and right-side hitter Donja Walker had 16 digs and 10 kills. Smith said the team lost on Friday because it did not play like it usually played during the season. She said the Vikings did not communicate with each other in the match and played individually instead of together. "We didn't play like ourselves," Smith said. "I don't think we played our kind of volleyball. I think we did really well throughout the season, but we didn't play as a team Friday." Coach Diane Flick said the team did not have good control over the ball Friday. She said the team was tense, overcompensated its playing and rushed. "SPU played well, but we didn't play quite as well and it was a bad combination at a bad time," Flick said. In a consolation final match Saturday against BYU, the Vikings lost 6-15, 8-15 and 6-15. Parker led the team with nine kills and six blocks. Walker and Smith made 10 digs each, and outside hitter Shannon Rowland had nine digs and seven kills. Middle blocker Kirsten Mann said the team played better on Saturday than Friday. She said the Vikings played more as a team, communicated better and were more in control, despite the loss. Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Shannon Rowland goes for a dig in Western's Oct. 31 meeting against SPU. "I was a little more impressed with the showing there, but I don't know, we kind of gave up the fight," Mann said. "It was disappointing ending with losses but we did have a great season." Mann said Flick told the team that while it ended the post- season with losses, it completed many goals during the regular season, including qualifying for post- season, and to not disregard the team's success. "She made it real clear to us to keep our heads up and be proud of our season," Mann said. "We were a little disappointed at the finish, but we decided to reflect positively on the season as a whole," Flick said. "And I guess if you're gonna lose it's not too bad to lose in Hawaii." =2fr (84%) mosi western have zero / i one two three or at the most four drinks when Donja Walker 4 players receive All-PacWest honors THE WESTERN FRONT Western finished its season 24-9 overall, finishing fourth in this weekend's PacWest C o n f e r e n c e tournament in Honolulu.

One dreams of the NFL and the other hopes of coaching, but both are making their mark at a young age on the Vikings'team. - The two starting cornerbacks are impressing people with their talent, youth and the fact that they still have two years left with the Vikings. Johnson is a sophomore on the team and in his third year at Western. The 21-year-old is from Seattle and was listed among The Seattle Times' top 100 state high school seniors in high school. He started playing football as a kid and plans to be a career player. "My goal is to make it to the NFL," Johnson said, "I want to become an All-American." Johnson has high hopes and is well on his way with such performances this season as against Central, where he was elected defensive player of the game. Raymond Jackson, teammate and eight-year friend of Johnson, says he is a motivator. "He shows a lot of leadership on the field." Jackson said, "He is not afraid to speak up when it's time to speak up." Johnson hopes for more success for himself and the team in the next two years. Flatt, Western's other corner-back, is originally from Spokane-and earned an honorable mention USA Today All-American as a Photos by Daniel J.

The 19-year-old received his first football from his father when he was two weeks old and hasn't put it down since. He said he would like to possibly teach one day and be a football coach. Flatt took on a lot more responsibility this year as a starter and feels a sense of duty for his team. •There's a lot more riding on my shoulders." Flatt said. John Ely, defensive coordinator for the Vikings, said the two players did very well this season and kept improving through the year. "They're an integral part of the secondary," Ely said. The two rising stars of the Vikings kept the defense running smoothly with their talents and ability to work.as a team.

Fifteen Viking seniors played their last game Saturday, but Western will return several key players next year. "No question this was a successful year," Smith said. "We won our fourth conference championship. They'll call it a co-championship but we beat Central head-to- head. "We had a lot of players step up who are coming back.

The unfortunate punishment will never top the great mission Savage went on to try to slow a deserving homophobic Republican. Savage was sentenced to a year on probation, 50 hours of community service and a $750 fine for his crime, but was most likely also being punished for spreading his germs around the campaign headquarters of Republican Presidential Candidate Gary Bauer. Savage was originally sent to Iowa in January to cover the presidential primary caucuses. He came down with the flu on the way there and was extremely sick by the time he got to Iowa. While in bed with the flu, Savage saw an interview with Bauer on TV In the interview, Bauer voiced his largely disapproving opinion about homosexuality. "Our society will be destroyed if we say it's OK for a man to marry a man or a woman to marry a woman," Bauer said. "I think what the Vermont Supreme Court did last week (legalizing gay marriage) was in some ways worse than terrorism." Fueled by those narrow-minded and ignorant remarks, Savage made it his mission to infect Bauer and his campaign staffers with his horrible flu. He went into the campaign office posing as a volunteer and proceeded to lick doorknobs, phones, keyboards and coffee cups. He then licked his pen, asked Bauer himself to sign a picture of his son and gave him the soggy pen to use. Savage came back to write an article about his flu-giving mission — rather than the caucuses — called "Stalking Gary Bauer" and gained nationwide attention after it was published. He did admit, in the article, he illegally voted in the caucus by forging an address on the voter form and that is what the charges were for. The witty and entertaining article gives a play-by-play account of his mission and does a good job of recounting his actions. Many people were outraged by the story and called him such things as "mean-spirited" and "sick." The gay-bashing that goes on during Republican campaigns can be no less than mean-spirited and sick in itself. If people think what Savage did was immature, low and reverts back to elementary school, then what about the immature and lowly way people are singled out and told they are weird and different or don't deserve the same rights as others because of who they choose to love. Is that not elementary? One comment from a reader said Savage could have infected Bauer and his people with AIDS. If that is not a lack of education and compassion then who knows what is. The reader assumed just because Savage is gay, he might have AIDS and he could spread it through saliva. The sad fact is that people need to get informed before making their assumptions. Savage was informed on Bauers' opinions and points of view before jumping to conclusions and just felt like doing something a little different. Politicians are often attacked physically by way of assassinations and a little flu virus sends people into a frenzy. However, voter fraud is a serious crime because it does tamper with the numbers and is not fair to other voters and politicians, even if they are bad, bad people. The right to vote is one people should appreciate See SAVAGE, Page 19 Electoral College Senator-elect Clinton could support an end to the Electoral College. Oh, it's easy enough to guess that, she's opposing it because the candidate she supports will likely lose the presidency because of it, and it's possible that she's intellectually in support of direct election of the president, as her husband's former advisor Dick Morris claims to be. But her recent election to the Senate, one would think, would remind her of the reason for that body's existence, which the Electoral College is a reflection of. The key to the creation of the U.S. Constitution was the compromise whereby one house of the Congress was to be-filled with members chosen by the people, and the other was to be filled under the direction of the states (their legislatures, actually). The idea was that both the population in general would be reflected in the government, and the States would be represented as well (these being the United States, not the United People, after all) in a concept . known as Federalism.

Everything would be easy to follow: no confusion, just free Western window stickers and an adviser. Following that semi-sunny day in August, most new Western students probably lost themselves in a sea of GURs, timetables and all-night cram sessions. Western faculty and staff held their hands before the madness actually began* then set students free to drop classes out of fear, change their majors multiple times and eventually seek counseling. Post-newbie academic advising at Western is lacking. Students are initially assigned an adviser, possibly in their intended major, but are left to figure out the remainder of the curriculum on their own. This results not only in fifth- and sixth-year seniors, but also in a number of new students who think this extended education is not only unavoidable, but normal. GURs are added and dropped from the university, change in credit value and change disciplines as the years pass. Requirements for majors and minors also differ each school year, yet students only receive a print copy of the General Catalog their first year. How are they to know of such changes and if they are affected by them? Students are left to figure it all out on their own or go online in search of answers. The Academic Advising Center in Old Main offers only general general, premajor and GUR advising and can't help students plan out their entire college career. That daunting task is left up to the student and, to a lesser extent, the faculty adviser. Following the initial meeting with an adviser (not necessarily the permanent adviser), students are expected to contact a faculty member themselves. Too often, though, this only happens in a time of crisis. Students may be intimidated by a professor who, statistically according to the Public Information Office, has 18.9 other students to deal with, not to mention classes and research. Upon declaration of a major, a department-specific adviser can say what classes in the major should be taken when, but a major is only part of the overall experience. Students might need to check in and discuss grades, classes they like or dislike, credit loads, finances and even stress. Unlike majors, minors are not declared — so no minor advisement. How can a student know what besides their major to concentrate on without racking up meaningless credits in elective courses they might end up dropping or never needing? Advisers should not be counselors, but they should also not be distant. Quarterly meetings could give students a chance to address concerns and develop a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship with an adviser. To stem a tide of freshman confusion, Academic Advising Services is sponsoring Freshman Advising Connection Nov. 29 to connect Western's 2,480 freshmen with faculty advisers and give tips on winter registration. Western needs tc consider the confusion and disorientation its students experience and keep them informed. Faculty need to consider reaching out to connect with advisees to keep them on track. Still, students need to take initiative to care enough for themselves by getting the academic advice and counsel they need.

Taken from msnbc.com Easy solution to relieving stress, anxiety: Quit smoking Heather Baker COMMENTARY It is that time in the quarter where the pressure on students is turned up a notch. Papers, presentations and tests can easily cause anxiety in students. Some may turn to coffee and exercise to work out the anxiety out of their systems. Others, however, may prefer to pick up a pack of smokes. Smoking harms the body and psyche. Students should lay down their cigarettes for healthier stress-relieving options or head down a road of future psychological disorders. A recent study by Columbia University suggests that smoking causes anxiety rather than relieves it. Most people know the effects of smoking, such as cancer and heart disease. Smokers brush off the nega- 'The strain of school and daily life might actually be coming from a cigarette. Clear the mind and throw the pack away.' tives for the calm, relaxing feeling they might get from smoking. The study compared teens who smoked less or not at all and teens who smoked 20 or more cigarettes daily. It concluded those who smoke more were more likely to form panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorders and agoraphobia, a fear of public places. The study said adults with the disorders smoked heavily in their teens. Some people pick up smoking to relieve anxiety. The study found that teens with the disorders already were unlikely to pick up the habit as adults. The theory behind all this is that nicotine may upset the central nervous system, thus damaging the body's ability to use oxygen. One can see the rationale in that. It's hard for the body to take in oxygen it needs if one is inhaling noxious carbon monoxide, the same gas that comes out of a car's exhaust pipe. People know what the effects of smoking are on the body. Anti-smoking organization The Truth features a graphic picture of the negative effects of smoking on the body, such as hair loss, various cancers, fertility problems and more. Nowhere does it mention what it does to the mind. More money needs to be poured in to study the effects of smoke on the mind and the psychological disorders that arise. If the thought of being holed up in apartment in fear of the outside world or random public panic attacks is scary, one solution exists — quit. According to a 1997 Reuters story, quitting smoking may lead to less anxiety. Psychologists from St. See SMOKE, Page 19 Week from hell provides insight into loopy life of Front editor Lisa Curdy CURD'S WAY . Last, week was incredibly trying. I'm sure you know — taking midterms and tests, failing in classes and as a thriving member of society — the usual student stresses. In the sake of being cathartic, the events leading up to the Big Cry will be told perhaps so others can identify and join me in misery. Monday: After a lovely weekend, I awoke with the knowledge that my bank account had taken a fatal plummet to the depths of monetary hell. I questioned why bank accounts are so dependent on a silly thing like money, and then devised a plan to bail myself out of a $580 hole. My scheme fell short of fruition, as it required dollars — something I am not in possession of. A night of restful sleep was robbed from me by snaggle-toothed nightmare beast-ies. So much for Monday. Tuesday: I woke up in a panic, as I had some stuff due in a class that I hadn't exactly finished. I frantically put something together and drove to work. It was Election Day and T was working at the Bellingham Herald where Fm a fill-in copy editor. The editor bought us pizza, but G.W. Bush prematurely calling himself president sabotaged my hunger. The sole triumph of the night was Florida, thank the heavens, for its ability to launch rockets into space but not a Republican into the White House. Wednesday: This is the day when it hit the fan. I had to call about my car loan — without money, it's hard to pay on a note. A nice woman who answered the phone gave me two options: "We can come to you and repossess your car, or you can drive it to our Everett branch." What? Repossess? I think they felt badly because I began crying deep and unyielding sobs, and they put me on hold. They transferred me to a nice man who told me to immediately go and buy a new car (well, not a new car, an old piece of proverbial poo car, one that didn't cost $10,624.35). I came out of the Front's office, face red with distress and eyes puffy with despair, and asked if anyone wanted to come with me to get a new coche. One soul came with me, I now owe him some bone marrow. And after three hours of car shopping it was apparent: I couldn't trade in a very nice, new car for a cow pie; the numbers weren't in my favor. I returned to the newsroom, put out the paper, and went to bed at 3 a.m. completely exhausted and drained of See CURDY, Page 19 ---------- Western Front 2000-11-14 - Page 19 ---------- » November 14, 2000 Opinions The Western Front • 19 From SMOKE, Page 18 George's Hospital Medical School in London found that patients who gave up smoking saw a significant decrease in anxiety in their first nicotine-free week. This goes against every smoker's experience. Most say that quitting causes more anxiety, which is why quitting is hard. Researchers Robert West and Peter Hajek said that smoking causes "chronically increased anxiety and that giving up smoking improves the situation." Psychological and health problems are tied to a substance that is about four inches long. The strain of school and daily life might actually be coming from a cigarette. Clear the mind and throw the pack away. The perfect time to start is Thursday, The Great American Smokeout. Your lungs and your mind will thank you later. From SAVAGE, Page 17 because it is actually a luxury in many countries around the world. But the punishment for the voter fraud was most likely somewhat of a cover for the real reason he was getting punished — the fact that he is a gay man who tried to give someone the flu. Savage would have been more mean-spirited and sick if he did what he did in Iowa and didn't have the guts to write about it. The real 'mean-spirited' and 'sick' people are the ones who solidify the fact that the war against ignorance and pea-brained people is long from being over. From CURDY, Page 18 any remaining emotion. Thursday: I awakened from a cozy but solitary slumber at 6 a.m. by a phone call from a pressman in Lynden. Apparently, the newspaper we FTFed over (it's a form of e- mail) was corrupt and had to be resent. I got up, put on some slippers and hoped no one I knew was lingering around the Front, for I was sporting a sleep-destroyed ponytail and some mad-ugly striped PJ bottoms that clashed with my plaid shirt. I resent the document and went back to bed at 7:20 a.m., in time the loud morning rush. The day's highlight was meeting a girl at a party who had my same glasses frames. She wrote her phone number in lipstick on my hand and I went home, alone. Friday: This day was heralded in with a mean case of the spins. After rehydrating, I went to another party on Lake Whatcom and stood for hours by a hot and smokey bonfire, discussing life and death and stuff in between with some cronies. Heading inside, I realized why I'd stayed outside so long. A guy was bludgeoning a dude about his bald head with a spiked hat. When the blood began to ooze from puncture wounds, I began to get the dry heaves and departed. Whimpering to myself as I crawled into bed, I decided to just let it all go and have a fat old cry of it. I'm still dealing with my car dilemma (anyone want a 1998 Mazda Protege?) and the fact that I'm broke, but the weekend following the five days from Hades wasn't half-bad. A sailboat, my old Subaru, a black cat, some knives - and a Dutch boy were involved, nearly in that order.

Friday^ April 24, 1925 NORMAL STAGES BIG VAUDEVILLE TITO SCHIPA TO I Noted TenorWill Present Concert at Christian GhurclL HAS WORLD-WIDE FAME The next number of the Musical Artists Series will he Tito Schipa, tenor, who will appear Wednesday, May 6, at the Christian Church. Student tickets will admit. Tito Schipa is well known and beloved throughout America. Last season he made ninety-one appearances on his tour from coast to coast. "He was born January 2, 1891. at Lecce, Italy. As a baby he sang alto to the cradle songs his mother crooned him As a boy of -- ten he sang in the chorus when "Carmen" was presented in his native town. Mother Was Pious. The mother of Tito Schipa was devotedly pious. She dedicated her boy to the church and he was sent to a seminary for preparation when he was fourteen years of age. Soon the beauty of his voice attracted the attention of the Bishop of Lecce. Then began a training for the seminary choir. Maestro Gerun-da, hi s teacher, was past master of the now too rare bel canto, which had given the world its greatest singers. One night, during opera season, Schipa climbed from his window at the seminary, drpped to the ground, and then stole off to the opera. When he climbed back he had. left his heart behind him on the stage. First Appearance Proves Triumph. Following this period with Gerunda, he gave a concert in Lecce, from which the receipts were 500 lire. On this slender sum he went to Milan and studied under the guidance of Emilio Piccoli. A year later he made his debut in "Tra-viata," a privilege for which he paid fifty lire. His first appearance proved a triumph. He sang with Mme. Galli Curci in Milan in 1913, and six years later made his debut in Chicago, appearing again with the great diva. The Artists Series offers the music lovers of Bellingham an occasion to hear a true artist and one of the leading lyric tenors of the world. SCHOLARSHIPIOCIETY AMENDS CONSTITUTION FRIDAY—April 24.

STUDENTS' LEADERSHIP MOTHERS' DAY TEA TO SOCIEIY O M I Z ID Has Original Constitution With Service as Motto. BE ELABORATE AFFAIR Many Mothers and Daughters Expected to Attend. Prizes Offered for Those Who Compete May 16th. List of Prospective Members Now Under Consideration. The constitution of the Scholarship Society was read and discussed at the student forum Friday, April 17, and was accepted with the following amendments: (1) The name of the organization shall be 'Scholar-ship Society' instead of 'Honorary Scholarship Society.' (2) The number of votes necessary to eliminate a candidate for membership shall be one-third instead of one-tenth of the members of the Society." The constitution has been passed without change by the faculty and a list of prospective members in under consideration now. The assembly committee reported that an assembly to be held on April 28 will be set aside for the discussion of the. testing and grading system used in this ^chool. Students were urged to be prepared to offer constructive criticism. Catherine Watts introduced those girls who had been nominated for Women's League o£fiees. They were: For President, Miriam' Taylor and Melba Coffznari; for vice president, Jessie Kirby and Catherine Nichols; for secretary, Bertha Weber and Inez Clark; for treasurer, Margaret Black, and Catherine Randall. Pins were awarded to Daisy Howard, Edgar Hanna hand Warner Poyhonen, for their service on the Board of Control for two quarters. Mr. Bond was presented with the first pair,:':of Viking book-ends, designed by Archie Erikson, a 'former student of the "'^Normal school. A committee .was appointed to diecide; whether; the student bocly^ should adopt these book-endB as one vof'^heir official emblems/ - From now till the 16th of May all Normal students will be in strict training preparing for the annual Chuckanut Marathon. This event is one of the events of the year and has found its place among the traditions of the Nor-mal- by-the-Sea. It is looked forward to with great anticipation each year, and this year the interest will reach its climax as the commitee in charge is planning an elaborate program. Last year the two hundred students and members of the faculty performed the feat; this year it is expected that the number will be doubled. Prizes to Be Offered. Everyone who starts out should reach the top even though he is not among the prize winners, for an Chuckanut's lofty summit awaits a surprise entertainment for all who prove themselves worthy. Several prizes, including a booby prize will be awarded. All those in the race will start at the foot of the mountain at 7 o'clock Saturday morning. There will be a timekeeper at the base with a register wherein all names of those climbing Chuckanut and the time they leave must be written. At the top similar provisions will be made for names and the time at which the top has been reached. Signs will be posted from the Normal to Highbridge Station, the foot of Chuckanut Mountain, so that no one will have difficulty in finding the way to the starting place. Full and final directions will be posted at an early date. %: - o TEACHERS ARE WANTED Appointment Office Hears From Many Places. Members of the joint Faculty and Student, committee for the drawing up of a constitution for the Leadership society, have had a hard time in defining Leadership, and the qualities that constitute it. It has been the general concensus of opinion that the following points should be included: (1) The willingness to assume moral and social responsibility. (2) Honesty and fair play in all work. (3) The habit of keeping one's word and appointments. (4) A scholastic standing that is not on the verge of probation. (5) The habit of meeting financial obligations. (6) To be able to take orders and obey as well as give orders and oversee. With such objectives in view the body of the tentative constitution has been built up around them. Recognition for Leadership. W. B. Davis of the committee, states, "The purpose of this society when in operation is to give recognition to students for good leadership and futher, that there is plenty of good leadership material in this school that has not been developed to its fullest capacity. It is the hope of the committee that this society shall be helpful in such a case. It is also hoped that students of the whole school shall be stimulated into judging the qualities of leadership and thus have a broader background from which to elect officers. "It has been so arranged that persons with leadership qualities who have never had the opportunity of holding office in any of the student organizations, shall have a chance to be nominated for election to the society. The committee believes that this is one of the strongest provisions of the whole constitution. Not Copying Others "The plans for this society have not been adopted or adapted from any other smiilar society, but the committee has tried to make the society fit into the scheme of ,things as they are. It is not to be a mere honorary club, but S—E—R—V—I—C—E should be the watch-word and motto of such a society. , The committee states that it would be glad to have suggestions on what constitutes Leadership and further states that this is a student society, so everyone should be interested and do his part. It is hoped that the constitution for this society shall be ready for formal action at the next student forum. A good percentage of overlapping in the membership of this society and the scholarship society is desired. o ; The Mothers' Day Tea, to be held in the Edens Hall reception room, May 10, promises to be one of the elaborate affairs of the year. It is expected that a large crowd of mothers and daughters will be in attendance. Last years the tea on Mothers' Day was a delightful success, very well attended. Mothers came from Everett, Seattle, Spokane and all over the state. This year a much larger crowd is expected and an affair even more elaborate is planned. Every girl who attends must bring a mother with her. If it is impossible that she bring her own mother she must adopt one for the afternoon. The tea is sponsored by the Women's League. Miss Lulu Minkler. chairman of the social committee, has charge of the affair. Those on her committee are Fae Allen, Florence Schwartz, Elsa Puspanen, Mary Culver, and Carrie Crippen. The committee is working hard and promises an affair which will be really worth while.

Lost Lake is situated beyond Chuck-anut Ridge, is very much concealed, and is high up. The scenery along the trail is very picturesque and beautiful. It is assured that all those going will find the trip pleasant and wo,rth their while. The hike has been estimated at about twelve miles a round trip. It will be necessary for the girls to wear good, strong hiking shoes, and either knickers or short wide skirts. Each one will furnish her own lunch.

The University of Washigton Frosh meet will probably come on May 15, and the Tri-Normal meet at Ellensburg, May 23. It isn't easy for any track team to compete in real meets three times in fifteen days. This is especially true in distance events. Bartsch Looking Better. Bartsch, the only distance man who has won his letter and is in school this year, lias been working out for six weeks and will run the three-quarter event in the medley relay. In this event the first man runs 220 yards, the second man 440 yards, the third man 880 yards and the last man three-fourths of a mile. Prigg or Hannah will take care of the first event Algyer will probably run the 440-yard event with Bartsch running the final three-quarter mile In the first tryout held the event was run in about seven minutes, which is fair time. Track Slow. The heavy rains of the past week have softened the track and makes the workouts slow, especially the sprints and distance events The jumping pit is full of water, making workouts impossible in the broad jump, high jump, or pole vault. Even part of the track has been submerged a couple of times during the past week. Weight Events Look Promising. Kattenmui is showing improvement every night with the discus. Warren is also getting the platter close to one hundred and ten feet. The Viking baseball team is on its way down to Seattle to play tjhe University of Washingotn varsity this afternoon and "Seattle CJo^ge tomorrow. yThis will be the first time the Normal has played the varsity nine of the U. The Seattle aggregation is a much feared team, having most of last year's men again on the team. In addition to this they have "Wits" Manca^ from the University of Washington's last year's Frosh team, who makes their pitching staff, as a whole, hard to beat. Beat Frosh Team. In a game between the University Frosh and the Seattle College nine, Se attle College won 3 to 1. This shows that the Vikings will have no easy time downing the Seattleites.

The large number of tennis players frolicking on the courts reminds us of the absence of lines on the two courts, and the run down condition of the nets and net posts. If we expect to develop a classy varsity and to play teams from other schools on these courts, something ought to be done toward improving them.

The second biennial conference of the World 'Federation- of Education Associations will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, July 20-28. 'The meeting will be in Edinburgh ajb the invitation of the Educational Institute of Scotland cooperating with- the British Teachers' Union. " Teachers from all countries of the world have been invited to attend. Forty- three nations took part in the first World Conference which was held at San Francisco in 1923, and many more are expected to attend the 1925 Conference. ' . ~ • " The purpose of the organization is the formation of a common ground upon which the nations can get together. The need for such an organization was made evident by the World War. Education seems to be the only common ground upon which it is possible to get together. The great problem, then of the' Confederation is the promotion of understanding and co-operation among the nations through wisely directed universal education. Contacts have been established in all nations, such as ministers of education, educational organizations, leading educational institutions, and institutions having as their aim the development of the highest aims of the human race. Invitations and announcements have been sent to all of these persons and institutions and encouraging returns have been received. Dr. Thomas President. Dr. Augustus^O. Thpjnas, state com-, missioner of education, Augusta, Maine, is president of the World Federation. George Pringje, secretary of the"-Scottish Institute, is in charge of local arrangements, i Extensive plans are being made to make the Conference a success and to insure the comfort and pleasure of the visiting delegates. The program includes meetings of the Executive Committee, the Delegate Assemby, open groups of special educational interests,; primary 'sessions, and general meetings of interesting programs. One day will be given over to sight seeing and tours. On Sunday the delegates will have an opportunity to attend the various churches of Edinburgh, and in the evening there will be public addresses and a concert in Synod Hall. To Include Kindergarten. The group meetings will include the pre-school and kindergarten age, elementary schools, colleges, and teacher training. Other groups will have health conditions of the world's children, character and moral education, illiteracy, the world university idea, international relations, and co-operation with organization, touching the field of international welfare. Besides this, there will be reports on the program started by the San Francisco conference. Special arrangements have been made for the transportation of teachers of the United States. The Canopic which carries "500 passengers has been reserved for the trip, and will sail from New York on July 8. It will land in Edinburgh, where the tourists can take trains direct to Edinburgh and have time to get located before the 20th. *,.f rpfMS t" l The Orient, Alaska .and Africa Are Visited. Those who went on the Y. W/C. A. world tour Saturday evening had some thrilling experiences in the 'different countries visited. An Oriental atmosphere of. colored lights, Japanese musie and cherry blossoms greeted the tourists in Japan, where "they were first told their future fate by Louise Mumaw, Japanese fortune teller. Another event was a rice eating contest in which those who could best manipulate their chop sticks were given prizes. Tea was aso served in Oriental fashion. The next country visited was Alaska, where an interesting collection of Alaskan curios was exhibited and explained by Mr. and Mrs. Crimmins, who have lived in Alaska for several years. During the program of Indian songs and pantomimes the guests were served real sour dough" hot cakes. In Africa the tourists were first taken as pupils to a Negro school in which the colored teacher, Dorothy Shipley, threatened them with a big club in case they laughed at her remarks. After visiting a Negro mission led by Mrs. Carrie Hill, they were guided to the jungles, where they tried their luck at shooting the wild and roaring animals. In China, the traveler sat on the floor and drank tea, while Linnea Nelson gave an interesting talk on the customs of China and showed an interesting collection of Chinese curios. She sang parts of Chinese opera also, which she learned when* she lived in that country. A men's trio sang several Chinese songs. Here tbe lights and decorations were red, the Chinese symbol of merriment, as explained by Linnea Nelson. o CAMPUS IMPRQVED FOR COMING TOURNAMENTS Superintendent J. H. Pasco Acts as Guide. * Oregonians Make Trip to Coal Mine Saturday, April 18,, thirteen Oregon Club members and the sponsor, Mr. Bond, went on a. trip of adventure to the coal mines The superintendent, Mr. J. H. Pasco, had caps] belts, and lamps ready for them. The caps were "brand" new and when pulled over one eye gave the girls the appearance of mule drivers The group was very fortunate to have Mr. Pasco,, himself, act as their guide He semed to possess the patience of a veteran school teacher when questions were fired at him. He first showed them a large map of the mine and explained how the shafts and levels were layed out and where the coal was being mined. For the trip down the shaft, four girls were put into each coal car. This proved to be quite thrilling and rivaled any scenic railway trip they had ever taken. They visited all points of interest including the dog houses, mules on fourth level, and "Spark Plug!" On the fifth level north each girl received a lump of coal for her hope chest and came in contact with something "black" that gave her the earmarks of a coal miner.' The main shaft is 2,500 fet long, and from 7 to 8 feet high. The longest; level extends for alinost two rniles and ljgs under the Northwest Diagonal. The lowest level yisife/i was 627 feet belpw sea level adn 720 feet below the earth's surface. The main shaft of coal is be lieyed to run undernea^ and £j gt; jhe side of Belj^ngiam' Bay and end at Lummi Island Several new improvements have recently made their appearance around the campus. Many faculty members and students are preparing for the tournaments to be lield on the new horseshoe and handball courts. Besides these improvements, sliding ropes and a sand pile have been erected for the training school students. The lawns around the campus are being kept up in fine shape and the tulips promise to be well in blossom for the Tulip Festival. for the safety of the men. A man carrying a safety lamp enters the mine each morning at 3 o'clock to see that the mine is safe from gases and other dangers. He comes out at '6 o'clock and makes a report in order that each man entering the mine knows the exact condition of it. Water is piped to all parts of the mine to lay the dust which otherwise might catch on fire spontaneously First hand informajtipn is always the best. A trip of this sort is pf speciaj interest jbp those that jive where Jhey do not have the opportunity of visaing industries as they are. OCULIST D. 8. S. Howe, 407 Bell/Nat'l. Bank. S. K.

Zl\os ^W* THE SECOND YEAR The Messenger for May 16, 1924,Tias this to say for the Viking Vodvil, scheduled then for May 17: The Viking Vodvil is the big thing on this week's calendar. The clubs of the school have been preparing peppy acts for the past two motnhs, and considerable wholesome competition has been evinced at the rehearsals. It represents, co-operative effort, and lience promiss to be on of the elassist affairs in the school year's gchedule of entertainment. •/ "When the curtain rises tonight on the first act of the Viking Vodvil the crowd in the auditorium should indicate that there has been a co-operative spirit on the part of students and faculty." That it proved a striking success is a matter of school history. Further quotations from the Messenger; this time the issue of May 23: "The Viking Vodvil, pronounced unanimously the success of the school year, played in the auditorium to approximately seven hundred enthusiastic spectators last Saturday night.'' There follows an extended descrpition of the individual acts which ends up with the following significant item: "The Vodvil board has made t h e suggestion to the Board of Control that the 'Viking Vodvil' be listed as an annual affair on the school calendar." It was. • . Declared an overwhelming success in its first year, the Vodvil this time is a distinct improvement on its fore-runner. No time nor effort has been spared in the effort to bring out the best the school has to offer. A genuine high class vodvil is assured as the result of systematic, painstaking work. The big'idea, n6w, for each student is to get his ticket in time for a good seat, ? -o We notice on the bulletin board a so-called proposed amendment to the constitution of the Students' Association. We would like to ask what this proposes to amend. Article I, Sec 1, says: "Candidates for any office or representative,' on the Board of Control of the Students' Association shall be nominated by petition, or from the floor of a meeting of the Students' Association called for that purpose, at least three days before the date of election." Part (d) of the same section reads: "No name shall be placed upon the regular election ballot until the above conditions have been complied with." It' is obvious that the proposed amendment is but a repetition of this section and does not justify the consideration of the student body. We Who Have Studied the Constitution." aounuuHimiiuiuinnininiiMiaiiiini^^ We Hear That niairnnnininiiiiimiiiinniiiiiiM At the meeting of the Social Science Club last week, Mr. Hunt gave an interesting discussion of the geological formation of the northwestern Washington, and of the vicinity of Bellingham in particular. The club was organized recently for the purpose of studing definite situations in community life. The work will touch on topics in Economics, Rural Sociology, Geology, Geography, History, Politics, and current social problems. Meetings will be held at 4:00 p. m. on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month after the next meting which will be held next Thursday. At that time election of officers and appointment of committees will take place. The leading lecture for the next meeting will be given by Mr. Arntzen. Frances Kanges left Tuesday morn ing for her home at Rochester, Washington Gn account of ill health she will not return this quarter. o — Jonette Hegeberk was detained in Mount Vernon this week by an attack of influenza. ' FACTS AND THEORIES A Student Opinion appearing in this issue is signed "We who have studied the constitution." This is a fine thing, to study our constitutor But to take part in the elections is a still finer thing. "We are adjudged by the writer of this Opinion to be rather absent minded for signing a petition posted on the Bulletin Board, for an amendment which is already a part of our constitution. If the author of the aforementioned Opinion had been here last summer he would have seen the president of the student body elected by a "sticker" ballot. Perhaps there is a ruling against this sort of election but unless we want it to happen again there must be an ironclad rule against it. The best way to get this is to sign the petition and then vote for it at the next Student Forum. —, o OUR LOST MAGAZINES The best magazines have been put on the reserve shelf—we have to ASK to read them. The result is that voluntary reading has been greatly reduced. We are no longer free to scan magazines for articles of interest. We are no longer free.to pick up the Atlantic or the Century for fifteen or even five minutes before the bell. We must ask, and we do not care to ask for spare time reading. We pick up Pearson's, or Colliers, or the Country Gentleman. It is unbelievable that this should have happened. It is unthinkable that there are those here who steal or deface magazines and bring this upon us. . It is almost as unthinkable that the rest of us have such a warped idea of our duty to society that we do not do all in our power to bring those persons to justice. Certainly they are not fit to take their places in our ranks as prospective teachers. It is hard to believe that there are members of our faculty who would put such a measure, with its inevitable result, into effect until they had tried all others. But it has happened. It has proved effectual in stopping the few at the expense of the many. It has inconvenienced most of the students and some of the faculty. It should be changed. As we see it, there are two courses open : First, the faculty might co-operate with a few trustworthy students to secure and punish the offenders; second, two copies of such magazines might be ordered, one for the free shelf, and one for the bindry. We should be willing to pay 25c per person for such a plan. Thus it would cost nothing from school funds. Surely something should be done, and soon. _. o :— l Next Tuesday the assembly period will be turned over to the students for the discussion of Intelligence Tests, and the grading system used.in this school. It is to be our privilege to ask an}' question, or make any comment we choose on these topics. These are two matters which hit every on of us. They influence the big part of our success in school. Eaeh one of us ought to have something to say about them. That something should be spoken in earnest, else the time spent will all be wasted. ' lt; .' • Last Thursday, Miss . McPherson and Miss Rosene went to Shelton, Moson county, where Miss McPherson has an I Extension class of student teachers. The topic for discussion at this meeting was Nature study. Friday forenoon was spent in a consolidated school. There Miss Rosene who was in charge for the day, taught a Nature Study class of third, fourth, and fifth pupils. In the afternoon they held a meeting and discussed Nature Study as to its value and how to involve it in the school program. Miss McPherson and Miss Rosene returned to Bellingham Sunday.

Are we going to need any support from our friends and boosters in the future? The Bellingham Normal school, as is any other institution, is dependent upon two things—first its own students and faculty, and second, upon the outsiders who have an interest in our affairs and who are willing to help us at all times. Here we have gone ahead and announced our intention of running an entry in the race for Tulip Queen—we have selected one of our girls to carry our name and be a representative of our spirit, our life and traditions—We have' canvassed the city and obtained votes for ourselves and now, just as teh finish draws near, we quit—desert bur friends and leave our candidate the laughing stock of the entire town and surrounding counties. Again, I ask, is this the true spirit of our school?. Suppose, if on the gridiron or basketball floor when we find our opponent ahead—are we going to be "Kids" and quit just because we're behind? How many times can we do this and then ask for more support at aoather time? Think this over and then ask yourself whether or not we are "sports," whether or not we have any pride or feelings for one of our members. A great injustice has been done to those who have backed our cause and hap. in a desire to be loyal have passed up another choice who with those same votes might now be farther up the list. And above all we've broken the faith placed on us by MisB Reeder • —to her we owe some apology, if that could suffice. —N. R. B.

Corinna Storch THE WESTERN FRONT More than 750 people packed themselves into the Viking Union Multipurpose room to attend a "Get the Vote Out" rally, hosted by Western's Obama Vikings, said Western sophomore Colleen Toomey, one of the event coordinators. Washington State Gov. Christine Gregoire and Washington State Sen. Patty Murray were just two of the seven Democratic politicians speaking at the rally, - which was hosted by Western's Obama Vikings. Gregoire, who said she was prepared to campaign until 8 p.m. Tuesday, was the event's main and final speaker.- Murray introduced the governor on stage, and Gregoire was welcomed with a standing ovation from the members of the Obama Vikings who shared the stage with her. Gregoire's speech covered her main campaign points, such as providing affordable health care and maintaining Washington's current minimum wage.

Over the weekend of Oct. 18 and 19, 14 break-ins occurred in Arntzen Hall and 15 more were reported in the Environmental Studies building on the weekend of Oct. 25 and 26, said David Doughty, assistant police chief of the University Police (UP). This isn't the first time the campus has been hit by these types of break-ins, Doughty said.'Similar incidents have happened every year since 2005. "The funny thing is there seems to be no rhyme or reason for these break-ins," Doughty said. "Things in offices are moved, petty change is taken or computers are turned on and used. Usually nothing of value is taken." The only item of value stolen was a graduate student's laptop that was taken out of the student's office, Doughty said. University Police and Western faculty believe the primary reason for these break-ins are attempts to use the computers, Doughty said. The offices hit the hardest are usually those where the computers are on, said Vivian Barnes, academic service manager for the anthropology department.

Western junior Tyson Mi nek wipes the sweat from his brow and trudges along his on way to Santiago, Chile, bicycle in hand. Though his flat tire is in urgent need of repair, his optimism remains in full gear. As a recipient of Fairhaven's $ 15,000 Adventure Learning Grant, Minck is stretching his dollar and mind to the fullest potential in his journey, which he titled "The Bicycle's Impact on South America: A Dyslexic Perspective." The Fairhaven College student is on a 10,000 mile-and-counting bike ride through South America. He lives on a budget ranging from $3 to $8 a day. "Being extremely dyslexic, I have always used the bicycle to [alleviate] my frustrations with scholarly work," he said in an e-mail from Guatemala. ."While I was applying for the grant, I rode my BMX daily to maintain a cool head." Dyslexia is a learning disability manifested primarily in difficulty with reading and writing. Minck was contacted through e- mail due to the high cost of calling the United States. . So far, he has ridden through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador. He is currently in Antigua, Guatemala. The original 10-month trip, which began in September 2007, has been extended in order for Minck to bike rather than fly home from South America. He expects to hit Bellingham at the end of February. "It's healthy for. me and the earth, [provides] a different viewpoint from backpackers who use buses, and allows me .to see things at a peaceful 5-15 miles an hour," Minck said. On his Japanese steel-frame 27-speed mountain bike, Minck cruises through tourist spots and sparsely populated cities, meeting people and noting the differences between their daily lives and life in the United States. see GRANTS page 6 photo courtesy of Tyson Minck Western junior Tyson Minck visited this glacier in Argentina during his trip. ---------- Western Front 2008-11-04 - Page 2 ---------- NEWS See more online at www.westernfrontonline.net The Western Front I Tuesday • November 4,2008 I 2 am two young men were going to fight on the 3200 block ofAl-the men had a handgun.

The blood collected at Western on Oct. 21-23 will eventually benefit up to 1,074 patients. Each weekday, 900 donors are needed by Western Washington hospitals in order to meet the needs of patients. Volunteer donors can aid as many as three patients with only one pint of blood. Students featured in Northwest Science Research conducted by several Western students involved in studying the ecological effects of the scheduled removal of the Elwha River dam on the Olympic Peninsula was recently featured in a special issue of the journal Northwest Science. The students are enrolled in Huxley College on the Peninsulas' joint program with Peninsula College in Port-Angeles. They worked with scientists, government and tribal agencies to research ecosystem restoration.

BIOLOGY ---------- Western Front 2008-11-04 - Page 3 ---------- westernfrontonline.net I Tuesday • November 4,2008 NEWS I 3 Plummeting gas prices ease pressure at the pumps Elizabeth Olmstead THE WESTERN FRONT As gas prices tumble from soaring summer highs to an average of $2.59 per gallon in Washington, according to the Environmental Information Agency, students with cars are feeling less pressure on their wallets. Western economics professor Steve Hansen, an expert on energy pricing, said the reason for the drop is a decline in demand, speculation on the market and slowdown in the economy. Hansen said he sees the current gas crisis as identical to the energy crisis the country experienced in the early 1980s. At the turn of the decade, the economy hit a bump and gas prices rose, Hansen said. Prior to the increase, gas was and people bought cars with little thought to vehicle economy, he said. "Oil was declining fairly rapidly, and cars were getting bigger and bigger, sprouting tailfins," he said. After gas prices peaked around $3.50 per gallon in the early 1980s, people changed their habits and prices decreased, he said. Hansen said though gas prices rose higher this time around, people are now seeing the same thing he saw during that era. He said eventually people will see the prices rise again although he doesn't know how long it will take. "We've been there before—there is no reason we won't be there again," he said. Western political science professor Cynthia Home, whose specialties include international economics, said massive oil demand from growing countries such as China contributed to the rise in the price of gas. When the world economy headed downhill, gas prices dropped as demand decreased, she said. Home said another cause of the original rise in gas prices last summer was because Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries artificially restricted oil prices across the globe. The real dictator of gas price is not the average consumer filling up his or her car but rather large businesses and countries, Home said. As these large-scale buyers cut back on demand, the average consumer benefits. If countries and international businesses step up their demand for oil, the prices will rise, she said. Newfound habits persist Although it is unclear how long lower gas prices will last, many students are continuing to practice the habits they formed when prices were skyrocketing. Western sophomore Andrew Taylor said' he rode his bike more over the summer. "I try not to. [drive my car] just because it costs money and I'd.rather ride my bike," Taylor said. He said he only has to put gas in his car once a month, because he rides his bike almost everywhere he goes. Western sophomore Adam Perrell said he began riding his bike' the five miles to work to save money as gas prices climbed last summer. Perrell said he will continue to ride his bike and the bus even if he has his car, but for work-related things, such as internships, he will drive. As a business major, he said he needs to appear professional, and it is hard to keep a suit looking nice while riding a bike. Western sophomore Matt Colleen said he brought a minivan to school but only drives if about twice a week. He said he has bought only $20 of gas this year, Weekly Washington Gas Prices Week of (2008) data courtesy of the Energy Information Administration :, gt;..• •.; photo by Michael Leese THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Carolyn Clarksbn pumps"gas on Samish Way Oct. 27.

Since last fall, the health center has used waist circumference to examine students' metabolic risk factors. Risk factors include excessive abdominal fat tissue and high triglyceride levels, which can lead to metabolic syndrome. People with metabolic syndrome are at an increased risk for coronary heart disease and strokes. Suzanne Bailey, a registered nurse at the health center, said many students feel their privacy is invaded during these measurements. Bailey said about half of the students she has seen this fall do not want to be tested for metabolic syndrome. Last year, only a quarter of students refused the service, Bailey said. Student Health Center Medical Director Emily Gibson said she knows the center is making some students uncomfortable by taking skin-to-skin waist measurements. Western senior Tamara Plandel said she was surprised and furious after her most recent visit to the health center. Because she was sick, Plandel said she was wearing three layers. Plandel said the nurse did not ask her to take any of the layers off, took her weight and waist measurement and without providing much explanation, handed her a pamphlet with metabolic syndrome information inside. "I was sick and left pissed off," Plan-del said. Gibson said the health center's goal is simply to better educate students about potential health risks and said the center's goal is not to make students' visits difficult. photo by Graig Hill THE WESTERN FRONT Western sophomore Everett Jackson weighs in after working out at the Wade King Recreation Center Sunday. Jackson said he does basic exercises such as chin-ups, chest dips and abs crunches twice a week. "If there was a better way, we'd be doing it," Gibson said. Jill Kelly, a registered dietician at Western, said students should be concerned about their weight now because it is a foundation for the rest of their lives. Kelly said health center staff are not trying to tell students they are fat, just warning them of potential lifelong health complications. Plandel, a physical education and health major, said if she was not involved in health education, she would have panicked after her visit to the health center. She said the nurse did not ask her anything regarding her physical activity or eating habits and did not provide any information after handing her. the pamphlet. "That could have sent someone down a path of destruction," Plandel said. "You can't be educated through one pamphlet." Gibson said the health center had a meeting to discuss continuing waist circumference measurements prior to the beginning of fall quarter. Although the majority of staff wanted to continue measuring waists, a few nurses opposed it, she said. Along with taking weight, height, blood pressure and temperature measurements, Gibson said many nurses see waist measurements as another component to a student's annual visit. Bailey said she thinks waist circumference measurements are an easy thing for both staff and students to take part in. She said although it is not a decisive factor in determining whether students are overweight, it gives nurses an idea about students' lifestyles. Although she encourages students to participate in the screening process, Bailey said she is never offended when a student refuses the service. Western junior Devin Lee said he thinks screening for metabolic syndrome is a positive thing. Lee said prior to his last visit at the health center, he would have never thought about getting a metabolic test done. "When it comes to my health, I don't think too much could be considered invasive," Lee said. Lee said he was not bothered by the waist measurement and did not find it offensive. Since the program's inception, the health center has diagnosed three students with metabolic syndrome. Gibson said although this number is small, it suggests the health center intervened at the right time. Gibson said during her 20 years at the health center, she has seen drastic weight increases among current Western students. compared to 10 years ago. She said at least 25 percent of Western's student body could be categorized as overweight. To reduce health risks, Gibson said students should drink less caffeine, get sufficient sleep and keep alcohol consumption moderate, but added students don't need to strictly deprive themselves of foods they love to stay in shape.

It would also prohibit immigrants from obtaining a driver's license without a valid social security number and would require police to work hand-in-hand with border patrol agents to ensure undocumented immigrants are deported. Most of the initiative would only ensure that laws currently in effect are followed, but many students believe the legislation would have serious negative consequences throughout Washington. Western senior Sydney Delacruz, an. intern for the group Community to Community and a strong opponent of 1-409, said immigrants play a crucial role in Washington's economy and culture, regardless of documentation. Many of the jobs immigrants hold are undesirable to U.S. citizens, Delacruz said. Without low-wage workers in agricultural, custodial and other menial jobs, many businesses would not succeed, she said. "Agriculture is.such a huge industry in Washington state," Delacruz said. "If this passes, a lot of people who like to buy organic and local won't be able to. How can farmers produce if they can't afford the labor?" Western senior Angel Martinez, co-minister of education for El Mo-vimento Estudiantil Chicano a de Aztlan (MeCHA), said even given the economic concerns the country faces, people should not overlook the human aspect to what the initiative proposes. "America was founded by immigrants themselves," Martinez said. "We are all sons of immigrants, so limiting them is limiting yourself; you're dividing society." Joan Carson, a volunteer for the 1-409 campaign, said there is no getting around the fact that undocumented immigrants are breaking the law. "Americans who came here originally worked to their bones," Carson said. "[The undocumented immigrants] aren't making their countries any better and they aren't making ours any better," she said. "There are.borders for a reason." Carson said one of her main concerns is tax dollars are going toward people who do not contribute to the system. According to a document created by 1-409 promoters, $11-22 billion is spent on welfare for undocumented immigrants every year. Carson said she thinks there are many more than the documented 12 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. She said she thinks it's unjust that immigrants can take American jobs without contributing to the economic system by paying taxes.

Between sales tax in Washington state and taxes taken out of the paychecks of undocumented immigrants with fake social security numbers, undocumented immigrants are contributing to the economy, Delacruz said. She said tax revenue from fake social security numbers has increased by $20 billion in the last few years. Western sophomore Meggie Garcia's father is a legal immigrant from Mexico. She said she can relate to people who want to come to America to find a better life because her father followed a similar path. However, she said without restrictions, America would become overcrowded. "I think there should be restrictions, but I think there should be opportunity for other people," Garcia said. "My dad could never have accomplished what he did without coming here. " The best way to fix the problem of illegal immigration would be to change the laws, Delacruz said. One of the major flaws in the immigration system is how hard it is for people to immigrate legally, she said. If immigration laws were changed, it would be easier for people to come and live in the U.S. and contribute to American society legally. "I feel like the process to come to the U.S. should be so much easier," Delacruz said. "The truth is that the process now is very cumbersome." photo by Kaylin Bettinger THE WESTERN FRONT Joan Carson (right), a volunteer for the 1-409 campaign, shows Shantell Palmer (left) where to sign as she gathers signatures Friday at Bellis Fair Mall.

"Their carbon footprint [is] the size of a baby's, while ours is the size of Shaquille O'Neal." Fairhaven professor and coordinator of the grant program, Kathryn Anderson, said students must show a passionate interest and focus in their proposals. She refers to this grant as the "hungry, tired, sick grant" because the journey does not come without hardship for those who tackle it. . ^—^- "Their job is to do their best, be observant and. [be] curious," she said. "If you do that, you can't fail." To train for the trip, Minck biked down the coast of Baja, Mexico. During the three-week ride, he crashed his bike and had to recuperate in a dirty hotel, he said. "After that experience, I knew that I lacked sufficient education to deal with first-aid issues such as altitude, infections and concussion," he said. "There was no way I was going to South America without this preparation." Minck is no stranger to cuts and bruises, his mom, Dian Minck, said. A serious biking accident several years ago, in which she said he broke every bone in his face, completely changed his appearance after 13-hour reconstructive surgery. She said Minck landed on his face after being catapulted over the front handlebars of his BMX bike while doing dirt jumps. He didn't suffer any brain damage and the accident didn't deter him from his love of riding, she said. "My life has always gone hand-in-hand with bikes," Minck said. The Georgia, Vt., native said he has patched more than 100 flat tires on his trip. He views this as just a part of the journey. "I suspect that most people can relate to the frustrations of fixing a flat on the side of the road in the pouring, rain or blistering sun," he said. "I've done it so many times that it has become routine." Minck has lived with dyslexia since he was diagnosed in second grade, Dian Minck, Tyson's mother, said. "It has always played a pivotal role in his understanding of people and being generous of other people [and] understanding that not everyone is alike," she said. Dian, who last saw her son in July 2007, said he brought a unique perspective to his interview in front.of the grant program panel. He stopped the interview and brought in his lifelong friend, Mr. Einstein—his bike. "That's a great example of his humor and how important it is to him," she said. She said she was not afraid-of how her son would handle the trip, since he has biked through Europe and been to Germany several times. She said she was worried more about the cultures he would encounter. His 23-year-old sister Emily Minck said she also didn't have any doubts that photo courtesy of Seth Holton Tyson Minck holds a large leaf on a 1000-kilometer stretch of dirt road in Chile called the Carretera Austral.

"He's just very gung-ho," she said. "It's gotten him far actually." To keep himself entertained, Minck has taken up playing guitar, in a sense. He travels with a tin can on a stick with three fishing lines for string. He calls his makeshift guitar stupido basura guitaro, or stupid trash guitar. "The kids love it, the rain doesn't affect it and no one in their right mind is going to steal a tin can on a stick," he said. To keep himself company, Minck makes up songs in his head to pass the time. "I think I have about eight different songs with silly little histories and morals mixed in," he said. His time has not been entirely solitary, however. Minck made friends with Carlos, a 53-year-old Argentinean, who toured with him through Peru and Ecuador for two months. "We share many similar ideas on a happy, simple lifestyle, which made traveling by bike together very enjoyable," Minck said. Minck spends the majority of his nights camping after long days of riding over paved and dirt roads. "I recently found it funny how routine a life can be even when I don't know where I will sleep tomorrow night," he said. The biggest change the trip has brought the traveler so far is in his eating habits, he said. Before the trip, Minck was a vegetarian for 12 years. On the second day of his journey, he began eating meat due to the lack of vegetarian options. "I felt forced to change," he said. The social and cultural impacts on the availability of food were too big to allow him to be picky, he said. The largest bulk of the $12,000 he has spent so far has gone toward food. Seth Holton, who Minck calls his lifetime bike-riding buddy, visited Minck in Chile for a few weeks in January 2008. Holton remembers hopping into rowboats on a nearby lake one night after a long day of biking, to catch the full moon. Suddenly, where the moon appeared over the ridge, it was as if daylight broke. "How pretty the country is just makes you slow down and take your time and relax because there's no sense rushing through all the things you're seeing down there," Holton said. The pair grew up together in Vermont and have ridden .through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California together. Minck's trip was the perfect escape from winter, Holton said. "I wasn't really surprised," he said. "He's always up to something." Minck said he hopes to teach a Fairhaven course about bicycle repair and technological regression before he graduates next year with his concentration, titled, Human Impact on the Natural Environment: a Global Perspective, With a Focus on Bicycles. 733-4433 fairhavenbike.com 1108 11th St. • Bellingham Open 7 Days a week ---------- Western Front 2008-11-04 - Page 7 ---------- westerofrontonline.net I Tuesday • November 4,2008 NEWS I 7 GREGOIRE: Candidates stress importance of student votes from 1 ly to promote voting, as well as to discuss their own campaigns. Kelly Linville, the incumbent running for State Representative in the 42nd District, started the rally off by encouraging the youth in the audience to vote. Linville said that while 60 percent of Whatcom County has already voted, only 25 percent of 18-24 year olds have voted, a comment received with hissing from the audience. "This is an election where every vote counts," Linville said. "We're resting a lot on the young people in this room to get out there and get [their friends] to vote." Incumbent Democrat Congressman Rick Larsen told members of the crowd their most important tool in this election was their index finger. Use it to prod friends in the chest and encourage them to vote as well as to dial phone numbers and continue canvassing, he said. Bellingham Mayor Dan Pike attended the rally to support his fellow Democratic politicians. "The rally was really energizing," Pike said. "From my perspective, this is a transformational election with so many critical issues." The Sunday before the rally, Pike said he went door-to-door in the rain, encouraging citizens to vote. "I collected a few ballots, but most had already voted," Pike said. "It was really encouraging." Linville said even if most of the audience had already voted, it was still important to get the word out to friends and family. "Because you've already done your job as voters, I'm asking you to volunteer," Linville said. Linville said she has not seen this much enthusiasm since 1992, when former President Bill Clinton was elected. "It's very important that the enthusiasm that started this campaign, and that obviously is nationwide, will finish that campaign," Linville said. "And that it will not stop with [voters 25 and younger]." Western senior Kess Smith was one of the first volunteers to show up at the Obama Viking's booth outside the Multipurpose room and was designated to blow up silver balloons used to decorate posters and tables advertising the event. Western sophomore ArianaRodriquez also volunteered at the rally for Obama Vikings. Rodriquez said part of the reason she came to the rally was to learn more about Gregoire's politics. "I'm torn right now because I don't know as much as I want to," Rodriquez said. Rodriquez was one of the few undecided voters at the rally. "I've heard such mixed things about her," Rodriquez said. "I've heard that tuition is going to be affected. Some people say she's helping, some say she'll, hurt it. How is she going to help me?" less Solenberger, 14, said she would have voted for Gregoire if she was old enough. Tess skipped her classes at Fairhaven Middle School to attend the rally with her dad, Tom Solenberger. "This is the first rally I've been to," Tess said. "There were a bunch of other classmates involved as well." Tom said he went to the rally just to support Gregoire, who had his vote during the last election as well. "Her approach is something that I can respect," Tom said. Four years ago, Gregoire won the governor's seat by only 129 votes, out of a total of nearly three million ballots cast, according to The Seattle Times. That election has been called the closest governor race in American history by numerous news publications. Many of the rally's speakers stressed the power of individual voters in this. Even Gregoire acknowledged their importance. "When you win like I did last time, you know every vote counts," Gregoire said. BREAK-INS: Broken office locks cost up to $400 to replace from 1 rice is on the third floor of Arntzen and in many cases, she has been the first to notice the intrusions into other offices. "I came in and noticed offices where the locks on the doors were broken," Barnes said. "It's weird because things in the offices are moved and stuff is messed with. We consider it malicious mischief." Anthropology department chair and professor Daniel Boxberger, who has an office on the third floor of Amtzen, was. among those instructors whose offices were tampered with. Nothing was stolen but it was clear someone had been there, Boxberger said. A digital recorder and other various items ended up in the trash and his computer was turned on, Boxberger said. A videotape was taken out of a cabinet and placed on the desk and a note from his aunt was moved from a drawer on one side of his desk to another, he said. "It was very bizarre because they just went through my stuff," Boxberger said. "It's kind of irritating because it keeps happening. We have old locks and they aren't replaced until they are broken into." Environmental science professor David Wallin's office was broken into as well. While his office wasn't tampered with like Boxberger's, someone had tried to use the computer, he said. The computer had been turned on, and it was clear the individual tried to gain access but couldn't and presumably left, he said. Some of his colleagues had experiences similar to Boxberger's on the second floor of Arntzen. In one case, a faculty member reported a chair missing, and it was found down the hall in another office. Two chairs were pulled up to a computer as if someone was looking at the screen, Boxberger said. "The odd thing about most of these break-ins is that there are so many and nothing is ever taken," anthropology professor Michael Grimes said. "My office was broken into and things of value, like my bicycle, weren't taken." A storage office that contains valuable anthropological skulls was broken into on the third floor, but none of them were taken, Grimes said. "It's clear that these individuals are not. after property," he said. " Nine offices in a corner of the fourth floor of the Environmental Studies Building were tampered with, although'none of them were fully broken into, environmental science assistant professor Ruth Sofield said. Her office vyas broken into a few years ago and her lock was replaced, preventing unwarranted entry, she said. "I would like to see something proactive being done about these break-ins because they have been occurring for years," Sofield said. "A lot of offices were hit on the second and third floors of Arntzen, and it's scary to think that this has been happening, so often." The offices that were broken into contain door levers that, with extreme pressure, break and allow someone to enter, Doughty said. Once broken, these locks can cost up to $400 to replace. Due to the high cost, the university replaces the locks as they are tampered with. Seventy-eight have been replaced. They are replacing them with locks containing a clip that breaks under the same pressure. But with these locks, once the clip breaks, entry isn't possible. "These locks are better because instead of replacing the whole lock, you can replace the clip which is only $75," Doughty said. "Hopefully, this will come into use because over .the last two weekends, the door lock damage total comes to around $10,000 with all the hardware and labor." In 2006, UP arrested an individual in relation to the break-ins occurring that year, Doughty said. After the individual was arrested, the intrusions stopped, he said. The person arrested by UP is a convicted burglar and a level three sex offender. The individual was breaking into the offices to use the computers to download pornography, Doughty said. Although he is out of jail, UP have no reason to believe this individual is responsible because they have no idea about his current whereabouts, Doughty said. No one else is suspected at this time, he said. UP is increasing night patrols and increasing security, although there isn't much more officers can do because there are no leads or'suspects, Doughty said. Faculty members have been encouraged to guard their computers and keep things like exam masters and grading sheets.in secured places, he said. UP officers would like anyone with additional information about anything, such as the individual arrested in 2006, the break-ins or any possible leads to contact them immediately. LIVE WORK IN JAPAN!

Butela, 20, a Western junior from Coupeville, Wash., has been performing comedy at Open Mic Night since the beginning of this year. Out of the three, he is the newest weekly stand-up comedian. He said his comedic personality really came out when he started acting in plays for his high school. In his junior year of high school, he was voted the class clown. "I watched a lot of Nickelodeon," Butela said. "Kenan and Kel really shaped my comedic personality." He said he didn't actually start doing stand-up comedy until he came to Western. He said he usually gets his ideas from things that make him chuckle or anything that may spark his creativity. He writes it all down in a small notebook he carries around with him wherever he goesK '^"% "I tell a lot of stories, which is the closest thing to having a style," Butela said. "I write about my life or observations I have about life jn general." Haley, a 21-year-old junior from East Wenatchee, Wash., started performing at Open Mic Night on a weekly basis at the beginning of last winter quarter. He is known for his crude jokes about awkward and uncomfortable situations. "My uncle was a comedian and I guess that's where I got my first exposure to stand up comedy," Haley said. He said when he was in the sixth grade, his teacher made a deal with him in which she would let him do stand up for the first 10 minutes of class as long as he would stay quiet for the jest of the day. He said he usually would tell his uncle's jokes regardless if his fellow classmates got them or not. "I always got in trouble for talking too much in class because I would always try to say things that were funny," Haley said. He said he continued to love comedy in high school, when he ended up being half of the talent show. He did five acts out of the 10, one of which was a stand-up comedy routine. In the rest of the acts, he would play songs on guitar and do humorous skits with his friends. In his senior year of high school he was nominated for three different superlatives, "Most School Spirited," "Most Comical," and "Most Likely to Be Famous." "I did anything for attention, which shaped who I am today," Haley said. The youngest of the three comedians, Allen, a 19- year-old sophomore from Ta-coma, Wash., has been performing at the Underground Coffeehouse the longest, starting at the beginning of last school year. He has performed at Open Mic Night every Tuesday this year. He said he first became interested in stand-up comedy after a friend introduced him to the Friday Night Stand-Up show on Comedy Central. From there, he learned about the structure of jokes and different styles of comedy. In high school he won the "Class Clown" superlative. At his homecoming dance;iie^eji^on ^'HQmecomiijg Court "• J e s t e n ^ S i ^ p ^ . ^ '^B^?*-^- —r" "I got to walk in the assembly and everything," Allen said. - Allen has been- doing stand up since . he was in high school. He would travel up to Seattle from Tacoma once or twice a month and perform at Open Mic Nights at the comedy clubs Giggles and The Comedy Underground. Once he got to Western, he started performing at Open Mic Night every week. "I cany around a tiny notebook that fits in my back pocket." Allen said. "Usually if something strikes me at that moment, I'll write it down. Or I'll be talking to my friends and make a comment and if I notice it, I'll write it down and go back to the book.". Allen is now doing stand-up every Sunday at The Upfront Theatre in Bell-ingham. He often makes an outline for a certain jokes and recites it when he does stand-up comedy. He'll record himself performing at Open Mic Night, and if that joke gets a good reaction, he'll write it out word for word. "You go on stage so many times that you figure yourself out," Allen said. "It's when you develop your persona." "The penis is simply the most unattractive thing God has ever created and no one would or should ever want to look at them. Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to discourage anyone. It's a simple matter of function over fashion, really, but I think we can all agree it looks like something we made in third grade ceramics class." photo by Graig Hill THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Alex.

Meeting the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, Drinking Liberally is a subgroup of the national foundation Liberally Applied, an organization where left-leaning individuals can get together and partake in democratic discourse while enjoying a particular activity. In the case of Drinking Liberally, attendees can engage in energetic political discussion with friends while snacking on the Horseshoe's sweet potato fries and downing brews and spirits. . Founded by club head and local activist Dave Willingham, Drinking Liberally is a recent addition to Bellingham's political scene, having celebrated its one-year anniversary on Aug. 14. And although club members say it's becoming a well-known feature in town, newcomer and political blogger Elisabeth Britt said she anticipates it will continue to grow in popularity. "I personally heard about the club when I met Dave while we were both working on the mayor's campaign together," Britt said. "But now there are Web sites which can link anyone interested iii politics to Drinking Liberally, so I think the group will continue to expand even after the election." While the average age of members appears to be around 30-40 years old, the group's clientele ranges from college students to local folks enjoying their retirement years. This wide spectrum of different generations causes some to believe conflicts of interest will arise due to differing policies, but long-time member and Bellingham native Bob Burr claims these fears are unfounded. "I'm an older guy, so I was worried I'd feel out of place with a younger crowd," Burr said. "But everyone here has made me feel very welcome. I absolutely love it." Like many members of Drinking Liberally, Burr's involvement in local political campaigns and rallies has been eating up all his time photo illustration by Kaleb GubernickTHE WESTERN FRONT lately, especially with the local and national elections at hand. And while he loves his work, Burr said Tuesday nights at the Horseshoe are some of the best times he's had this whole election season. "It's a great chance twice a month to get away and spend a night talking with like-minded individuals," Bun-said. Even though the club is called Drinking Liberally, anyone is welcome to come and discuss politics, as long as it's done in a respectful and intelligent manner, downtown Bellingham resident Ronnie Mitchell said, relating the passionate discussions that have cropped up between opposing political factions in past meetings. Fond of passionate political discourse himself, Mitchell came upon the club completely by accident while he was surfing the Internet for left-leaning blogs and Web sites. After reading about a Drinking Liberally branch in San Diego, Mitchell said he began to look for more local branches of the organization. "I originally read about the club while looking through one of my favorite political blogs," Mitchell said. "It sounded really interesting, and when I finally found a local chapter in Bellingham, I decided to check it out." With no regulations on who can join the club, some might think Drinking Liberally compensates by forming particular cliques within the context of the overall group. However, Western senior Jake Lunden said this isn't the case, and Drinking Liberally functions as a gathering place where people can get together and discuss not just politics, but life as well. If a person is looking for a place to openly discuss the policies and practices of a left-leaning political agenda, Lunden said he can't think of a better avenue to meet and talk with other people interested in politics. "In the end, what are politics without a community?" Lunden said. "And what is a community if it. can't share ideas with all its members? It's nothing. That's why this club is so important and also why I enjoy it so much."

The Iron Lotus is a group of Western students who recently acquired scooters and decided to make a "scooter gang" to go riding in groups, said Western senior and Iron Lotus founding member Brent Duncan. The group's main goal is to recruit members to ride around Bellingham together and have a good time. Iron Lotus consists of six friends who purchased scooters around the same time. The group is based out of the Cobra Lounge, a hookah bar in downtown Bellingham. Austin Richards, a founding member, is the cousin of Cobra Lounge proprietor Paul Green, and the lounge is a place they often go to hang out. The Cobra Lounge has become an inspiration for their "scooter call," a hand gesture that resembles a cobra that they make to each other while riding. "The chicks dig it," Duncan said. The gang has also adopted a dress code to make themselves more easily recognizable. "If you're riding as an Iron Lotus, you have to wear a red cape " Duncan said. The capes, in addition to being stylish, will help the scooter riders be more visible while driving, Richards said. "People don't notice you as much [when you ride a scooter]," Richards said. "I've had a.couple of close calls." Since scooters are smaller, the driver needs to be careful of cars, said Western junior and founding member Mason Watt. "I go by the tonnage rule," Richards said. "If they're bigger than you, let them do whatever they want." Despite difficulties with other motorists, the scooters are still a lot of fun to drive and are cost effective, Watt said.' The growing popularity of scooters, especially among college students, is due to the greater fuel efficiency, said Justin Daniels, the sales manager at Chispa, a scooter store in Bellingham. The least gas-efficient scooter gets approximately 60 miles per gallon, while more efficient scooters can go as high as 120 miles to the gallon. "Even in lieu of a recent drop, it's pretty much a given fact that gas prices will go up again," Daniels said. "All that aside, the ecological benefits that you get when you ride a scooter versus a car are pretty dramatic." Watt said he's been driving his scooter everywhere and has seen a dramatic decrease in his gas prices. The scooter cost him $1,100, and he's saved more than $200 on gas within the first month and a half, he said. The Iron Lotus is looking for as many people as they can find to ride around Bellingham with them, Richards said. The group members recently made a Facebook group and are trying to recruit other scooter enthusiasts. People who are apprehensive about scooters should give them a try, Duncan said. "People always ask me, 'can I ride your scooter?'," Richards said. "They always come back with a big smile on their face." The gang hopes to someday have a group of 50 riding together, Duncan said. The members want anybody who likes to ride scooters to join them any time at the Cobra Lounge and ride with the Iron Lotus. "Scooters rock," Richards said. photo by Graig Hill THE WESTERN FRONT L to R: Senior Brent Duncan, junior Mason Watt and freshman Phi!

Three students were attacked and one had to be taken to the hospital due to a collapsed lung. After the string of attacks, WSU realized their Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered (LGBT) community was being targeted. Though these attacks may seem far away, Western students can take this as an opportunity to look at our own school and how we represent and treat our fellow students. Students can also lend support to those who cope with varying societal pressures by hiding their true selves. At Western and any other American university, the wide variety of students, their different backgrounds and their ideas make college more than an academic experience. It is an opportunity to grow in life. If students feel unsafe or threatened in their learning environment, it can limit their own ability to grow. Western is fortunate to have an administration that cares about the safety of its students. President Bruce Shepard sent an e-mail out to students on Oct. 28. In his letter he said, "Diversity makes us stronger." Shepard called for all students to stand together to combat the prejudice and bigotry which can poison communities. Western students may be polite to the LGBT students but it is another thing to respect them. Hateful or ignorant language can be just as dangerous as physical attacks. The word "gay" is not synonymous with stupid. If you hear someone use "gay" in that way, make a point to call them out on it. Letting language like that belittle LGBT students makes it more difficult for them to fully participate and feel appreciated in Western's community. In reaction to the attacks, a group of Western students from the LGBTA and the Ally Building Network worked together to show support to the victims of the WSU attacks. The two groups had a written letter from the Western LGBTA coordinator for the WSU administration. The letter urged the WSU administration to take the attacks seriously and to incorporate values of diversity and safety into their campus. The LGBTA and Ally Building Network also allowed students to sign short letters offering support to targeted students on WSU's campus. These attacks are a clear example that we still have a long way to go. Today, we could elect our first black president, something the black community could not have imagined during the civil rights movements in the 1960s. Nor could the women fighting for suffrage ever imagine a woman could someday be vice president or president. Now, we still have battles to fight. Prejudice is still infiltrating every facet of American, culture. There are voters out there who will not vote for Sen. Barack Obama because he is black or because they think he is a Muslim. There are people who will not vote for Gov. Sarah Palin because she is a woman, another prejudice we must overcome. Many communities differ from the heterosexual white protestant norm. Communities that may not be considered mainstream are not threatening or wrong. These communities should be embraced and supported because their members are human beings with the same basic and fundamental rights as any other person. Prejudice and bigotry should not be tolerated and will not be tolerated on this campus. Discussion and differing ideas are important and should be encouraged on campus. However, difference of opinion should never result in violence or hate crimes such as those that occurred at WSU in October. Western students should bring up conversations about the social injustices that occur, not just on campus, but in our Bellingham community. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

Iraq Veteran to speak against occupation Cameron Harsh Guest Columnist How far would you go to defend your values? What if defending your moral convictions meant sacrificing your freedom? As an American who has come into adulthood during a time when my country is embroiled in a modern quagmire, I have seen my peers risk their lives in a war of greed and power-mongering, encouraged to blindly obey and "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Some argue that the U.S. bears the burden of being a global protector and defending people whose rights and freedoms are being violated. It is impossible, however, to liberate others when our own soldiers are not free to fulfill their military obligations with dignity and honor. Iraq veterans have testified that orders they received in combat often contradicted the U.S. Constitution and Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Soldiers are obligated under the UCMJ to refuse unlawful orders, yet those who do so are often prosecuted and imprisoned. Mark Twain said, "It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." Former Staff Sgt. Camilo Mejia, an Iraq veteran turned anti-war activist, exemplifies both physical and moral courage. Mejia will be speaking at 7 p.m. Nov. 6 in the Viking Union Multi-Purpose room. Mejia enlisted in the Army shortly after immigrating to the U.S. in 1994. Like many Americans, Mejia's limited options made him vulnerable to the military's promises of a better future. In 2003, his contract was extended and he was deployed to Iraq. During his tour, he could not reconcile his personal beliefs with the atrocities perpetrated against civilians and detainees. The military's actions plagued his con-_ science and he began to speak out. "I knew I could say no to keeping prisoners on sleep deprivation, and to blocking ambulances on their way to the hospital," -he writes in his book, "Road from ar Ramadi." After two weeks of leave in the U.S., he. refused to return to Iraq. Soldiers have not only the right, but the legal arid moral obligation to refuse orders that would result in the death or torture of civilians and detainees. "If I returned to: the war, I could be-killed in more than one way,'.' he said. "It wasn't just the physical death; it was also the many deaths of the soul every time you kill a human being." Mejia submitted a formal application for discharge as a Conscientious Objector, an international right sanctioned by the United Nations. Like many others, his application was denied. He was court-martialed, sentenced to a year in prison, stripped of his rank, and given a bad conduct discharge. The military was determined to make an example of him. When Mejia first went public, there were only 22 cases of desertion. Now, since the war started, more than 10,000 people within the military have spoken out. Here in Bellingham. the Sanctuary City Movement, led by Western student Nick Spring, is fighting to offer legal sanctuary to -military personnel who object to the occupation of Iraq. The resolution will protect war resisters by preventing local tax dollars from funding the "persecution, prosecution or detention of absent without leave soldiers." Soldiers have not only the right, but the legal and moral obligation to refuse orders that would result in the death or torture of civilians and detainees. Bellingham should be a safe haven for these courageous women and men. Mejia sums up his decision to resist in one sentence: "I was afraid of waking up one morning to realize my humanity had abandoned me." The U.S. military's treatment of war re-sisters is an affront to our country's founding ideals of independent thought and expression. We, the people, must stand with heroes like Camilo Mejia in defense of human compassion, decency and freedom. Harsh is a Western student majoring in human services and interning at the Whatcom Peace Justice Center.

In front of a crowd of more than 1,100 people, the Vikings, ranked 7th in the region, managed to hand Central its first home loss of the season. For the four Western seniors, it was the last chance to play their rival. "The Western and Central rivalry has always been a big deal," Western senior middle blocker Angie Alvord said. "It was a great way to finish them off." Powerful play by Alvord and Western senior middle blocker Tiana Roma helped the Vikings control the match, Western junior setter Kari Rice said. photo by Jon Bergman THE WESTERN FRONT Entering her ninth season, Western head coach Diane Flick sets her-sights on a fifth GNAC title and a second chance at winning the. NCAA II National Tournament title. Alvord finished with a match-high 17 kills while Roma added 13 of her own. Both Alvord and Roma led all players with three blocks each. "It was a solid win that was well played by every player that took the court," Western head coach Diane Flick said. "But our two middles played great senior matches against our cross-state rivals." Western sophomore libero Allison Gotz accounted for a match-high 22 digs, while Rice once again led all players with 41 assists. Western led from start to finish and won the first set 25-15. Alvord's three straight kills in the second set secured a 25-20 win. The Vikings, who never trailed in the final set they won 25-22, ended the match on a kill by Alvord with an assist from Rice. Western's improving ability to execute its game plan is' what separates the team's play now from what was seen earlier in the season, Flick said. "We meshed so well against Central," Roma said. "We were relaxed and our communication allowed us to play well." The loss dropped Central into fifth place in the conference with a record of 7-5. The Wildcats are 15-9 overall.

"[The target] is something that we discussed at the beginning of the season and we were feeling the pressure during our hiccup earlier in conference play," Flick said. "But we seem to have moved past that since the losses." Success is not new for the Western volleyball program. Roma said the expectations were in place long before this group, of players committed to play for the Vikings. "It feels like we get everyone's best game each night," Roma said. Western closes out the regular season with four matches in the next two weeks before looking to repeat the success of last year's postseason run to the national championship game. "We have been practicing and playing so much," Roma said. "We are just getting to where we need to be to go out with a bang." Western improved its overall record to 18-2 and retained its second place standing in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference at 10-2 behind Western Oregon University.

The game ended in a 1-1 tie Monday at Whatcom Community College's Orca Field. "It was unfortunate we lost the lead so quickly," Western senior forward Samir Vejo said. "We outplayed them the whole game, and then we lost our concentration and it almost cost us the game." Western sophomore forward Gibson Bardsley scored the first goal of the game during the 75th minute. Bardsley managed to curve the ball just inside the post after a pass from Vejo, his second assist of the season. It was Bardsley's sixth goal of the season. "I think we played our best game of the season," Bardsley said. "It felt good to score a goal, but I wish I could have scored again, because we needed another goal to win." California State tied the game with a header by forward Bryce Beall. "We played well enough to win," Western head coach Travis Connell said. "It was a hard fought game, and we definitely made the other team earn their goal." During the last minute of regulation play, Beall had a wide open shot from the 18-yard box and almost scored. The major mistake the team made was losing focus, Connell said. ;' "It's happened a couple times this year," Connell said. "We score a goal and then the other team scores soon "after. We didn't manage our emotions well this game. Despite their problems remaining focused, Connell was happy about the way the team played, he said. "We did a good job of attacking the other team and controlling the tempo," Connell said. The Vikings have a 9-5-3 record, going 4-0-1 in their last 5 games, including a 2-1 win over Montana State University Billings in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference game Friday. The Vikings currently hold first place in the conference with a 5-1-0 record, one game better than Seattle Pacific University. California State is third in the West region with a 13-3-3 overall record. Western will close out the season with two conference home games. The first will be against Saint Martin's University at 7 p.m. Nov. 6 and the second against Seattle Pacific University at 7 p.m; Nov. 8. Both games will be played at Whatcom Community College's Orca Field. Women's soccer readies for playoffs Stephanie Castillo THE WESTERN FRONT The Western women's soccer team extended their longest undefeated conference run in 24 years to 13 games Monday by squeaking past visiting California State University Los Angeles by a score of 1-0.

The Viking's record improved to 15-2-1 overall, and they remain 9-0-1 in conference play, while California State dropped to 7-9-3 overall. "Games against California teams are always tough," Western junior forward Lucy Miller said.. "We know as long as we are on our game, we can beat any team." A goal by Western junior midfielder Kelly Irving in the 70th minute provided the shutout win for the Vikings. It was Ir-ving's fourth goal in the past six games.

Western senior quarterback Adam Perry led the offense with 243 passing yards, with senior wide receiver Travis McKee going to 123. Four of Western's five penalties came in the second half, costing the Vikings a total of 60 yards. "We shot ourselves in the foot with penalties," Perry said. "We wanted to run the ball in the second half and if we got another score, it would have been a nice bonus, but it was all about time management." As the second half wound down, Dixie State held a 14-12 lead after Dixie State senior quarterback Dexter Hill connected with junior wide receiver Skyler Ence on a 31-yard touchdown pass. That left Western with one minute, 34 seconds left. Western marched down the field as McKee made four catches for 54 yards. With 18 seconds left, Perry aired out a pass to a leaping Western senior wide receiver Pat McCann for the touchdown. "We had a play lined out but when -we saw the way the defense lined up, we made the right adjustment," Perry said. "McCann made a great read on the ball." Western went for the 2-point conversion and Perry found McKee in man-toman coverage and scored. -* "We checked the point chart three plays earlier," head coach Robin Ross said. "I told the guys that when we score on this drive, we're going for two." Ross said it was the defense's ability to read the quarterback and make small adjustments that kept Dixie State's offense to only three first downs in the second half. Contributing to the defensive performance, Western senior cornerback Kevin Jones was honored with Conference Defensive Player of the Week for Oct. 26-Nov. 1. Jones had seven tackles, six solos, a forced fumble, fumble recovery and an interception he returned for 26 yards. Western sophomore defensive lineman Don Thomas II, who had two blocked passes in the fourth quarter, said the ad- justments~ on the draw play that Dixie State continued to run enabled him to get his hand on the ball. "We had to contain [Hill] in the pocket," Thomas said. "We had to keep just enough pressure on him to keep him from trying to run with the ball." Neither Dixie State nor Western were able to put points up in the second half, which spoke very highly of both defenses, Ross said. The difference was time of possession, he said. "Offensively, it was a few penalties that kept us from scoring in the second half," Ross said. "Dixie [State] has a tough defense that uses a 3-4, which is something we don't often see and it kept the offense out of sync." Western successfully converted six-of- 14 third down attempts in the game, while Dixie State moved the chains on third down just once in eight tries. Western will next face top rival Central Washington University, which is 9-1 overall this season. The game will mark the 100th time the two teams have competed. With the top seed of the conference moving on to the Dixie Rotary Bowl, Western could get the nod if nationally ranked Central was given a national bowl bid. If Central's team isn't awarded a national bid, it would represent the conference but it would take an overwhelming victory on behalf of Western to prevent Central from the bid, Ross said. "I'd rather go [to Central] and make that our bowl game then worry about what happens on Sunday," Perry said. Western's game against Central is at noon Nov. 8 in Ellensburg, Wash. Don Thomas II PLAYOFFS: Women's soccer extends winning streak, wins 1-0 from 1 4 . with a couple of key saves. Broadbent had a total of four saves on her way to her seventh shutout of the season. With playoff births announced on Nov. 10, the team is focused on the final two games this week and trying to get two more wins to round out the regular season with 15 consecutive unbeaten conference games. If the Vikings remain first in the conference, they will receive a bye the first round of the playoffs. "We're anxious to hear about*where we'll be in the playoffs," Miller said. "But it's very important to win the next few games." The Vikings finish regular season play with two home conference.matchups. They play Saint Martin's University at 4 p.m. Nov. 6 and Western Oregon University at 1 p.m. Nov. 8 at Whatcom Community College's Orca Field. f)F LIVES SAVED' SCHEDULE YOUR DONATION TODAY AT 360.756.1700 WWW.BI0LIFEPLASMA.COM Free wireless and Supervised Childcare available while you donate.

Show more1977_0520 ---------- Western Front - 1977 May 20 - Page 1 ---------- AS okays pass cards for donors byCLAYHARTL A proposal by College President Paul Olscamp toissue pass cards to those making large donations to the Western Foundation was passed unanimouslyby the AS Board of Directors Tuesday. The AS agreed to the proposal which would place a studentrepresentative of the AS on the Foundation's Board of Directors in return for honoring the cards. If astudent is not granted a seat, however, the AS will withdraw its support, according to the motion. "Theidea of the card," Olscamp said, "is we're trying to raise donations to the Foundation and we wantsomething to give the donors in return." Olscamp said the seat on the board is indeed a negotiating lever for AS support of the proposal but he saw it more as a trade-off. "I, myself, feel a student should be onthe Western Foundation Board. The board has no other interests except the students," Olscamp said,"and it's hard to find a purpose of the Foundation that doesn't directly benefit the students." "I cannottotally commit the board to placing a student, but I will bring the proposal to the board at its nextmeeting," he said. Persons or corporations giving more than $1,000 per year to the Foundation —Western's fund-raising organization — would be given pass cards which would allow free access to mostcollege facilities and events, Olscamp said. These would include films, games, concerts, use of thelibrary and even a possibility of auditing classes, he said. Olscamp stressed that regular, payingstudents have first chance, though, at events and classes. The program would be called the "Old MainAssociation" and the donor would be a member for one year, Olscamp said. The card would have to berenewed every year with another donation of at least $1,000. As questions were raised, Olscamp saidthere are about 30 donors who have contributed at least $1,000 this year. He said he hopes to eventuallyraise that number to 100 regularly contributing donors. The Program Commission, and in turn the AS,would have to absorb the costs of the tickets used by the cardholders, Mike Kinder, programcommissioner, said. This could amount to over $6,600, he said. Michael Baker, at-large representative ofthe AS, asked Olscamp if this wasn't a very small risk taken by the Foundation in return for great gains.Olscamp replied that one has to keep in mind the overall benefit to the students in increased Foundationmoney used for grants and scholarships. Dave Marchbank, AS vice president, asked if the cards, as adonation to the Foundation by the students, would present any legal problems. "Can we legally contributestate funds to a non-profit organization?" he asked. "There is a difference between providing services andgiving cash. No legal problems should arise," Olscamp said. Olscamp said he still has to go to otherdepartments on campus, such as the theater and athletic departments, to get their approval of theprogram before it can be enacted. "Everybody else would have to say no (for the program to fail) and Idon't think they will," he said. CD FRONT CO • J FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1977 RECYCLE ALL PAPERVOL.69 NO. 47 Western faces fall 'brown-outs' by JERRY GALLOWAY "Brown-outs" this summer andfall could cut Western's supply of electricity as much as 50 per cent far periods of a week or more.Forecasts by utility companies predict dark days for the Northwest as the reservoir of hydroelectric powerdries up. The people who make Western.run.are preparing for this dim future and feel students need toprepare as well. Pete Coy, director of housing and dining at Western, had few good things to say aboutstudents' energy habits. "There is no question our flat rate charge for utilities doesn't encourage thrift,"Coy said. "There is plenty of waste. They just figure 'tough, let the students next year pay for it.' " Coyfigures on-campus students paid $111 each for heat and electricity this year, up about $11 from last year. Next year's budget, at $338,000, is up 12.7 per cent, and is reflected in next fall's 7.7 per cent hike inhousing fees. The financial burden might seem light if the darkest forecasts come to pass. Cutbacks,Coy said, could mean higher fire risks with increased use of candles. They could also mean cold mealsand no elevators, hall lights or clothes dryers. "I don't look forward to that," he said. Jack Speaker,Western's director of maintenance and operations, said the school could "function well, with someinconvenience," even with a 50 per cent electricity "brown-out" lasting up to a week. But between thestate's shallow hydroelectric reserves and Western's sometimes shaky natural gas supply from BritishColumbia, Speaker expressed concern. "We use the gas to make steam to heat buildings and tapwater," he said. "We can use oil if we have to, but for now, the Canadians seem anxious to sell us gasand keep up their dollar exchange." Speaker said he has had no order from the administration toconserve energy, but expects one soon. Even without that direction, he said, his department "regularlymonitors lights and heat and has saved "20 to 30 per cent" on power in the last few years. The bigmoney-saver for the college has been a central control system through which heat is automaticallyregulated in each room on campus. This December, Speaker said, a new, "more sophisticated andflexible" central computer system will be in operation. "It costs $700,000, so we're going to milk it for allit's worth," he said. "It could cut consumption by another 10 per cent, and would pay for itself easily."Speaker's department is surveying energy use in all campus buildings. Most structures went up with"minimum concern" for energy efficiency, he said, and a budget for "retro-fitting" them for better insulation may be submitted when the survey is complete. Neither the survey nor the new computer system will be available in time to help Western during the period of predicted "brown-outs." Speaker and Coy saidthey hope increased cooperation from students will help the school through the dark days ahead. Thisfall, cash incentives might be offered to thrifty campus residents. Newly installed meters record powerconsumption in each building and Coy has plans to encourage competition in conservation and split thesavings "down the middle" with the savers." - ..\\v.\ ,\\\- lt;\\\\\':\\';.\ •-,-:•;.. ,v. .• .;\\v Ray recallquestion Mauhar loses election chair by CLAY HARTL Tony Mauhar, Associated Students ElectionBoard chairperson, was fired Tuesday by the AS Board of Directors for misconduct in the handling of theDixy Lee Ray recall question on the voting ballot and voting machines. Bruce Ayers, AS president, saidMauhar was fired because he included the question of whether Governor Ray should be recalled on theballot and subsequently gave the results to the Bellingham Herald, after being given direct orders not to.Ayers said Mauhar released the results to the Herald as "76 per cent of the students for recall, 24 percent against." The question was uncovered for only a few hours during the whole election, Ayers said,and very few students voted on the question. "However, Mauhar gave the information as if it were theopinion of the whole student population and it was not," Ayers said. Mauhar said, in fact there were over300 votes cast on the Ray question, more than for some board positions. "I was contacted by the Herald (for the results). I never initiated the communications," Mauhar said. The Herald had the ballotpropositions on the day they were printed. At an AS meeting in April, the board voted to includequestions on the ballot and voting machines for informational purposes only. The Ray recall question was voted down and was not to be included. Mauhar said he included the question because he had theassurance of an unnamed board member who said he would persuade the entire board at a weekendmeeting to change its mind and include the question. This didn't happen, but Mauhar had alreadyincluded the question. "This individual initiated the action. I had, in good faith, trusted this individual'sword," Mauhar said. Michael Baker, At-large representative of the AS, said "When one trusts someoneelse's word "When one trusts someone else's word about a political guess, they are both fools." about a political guess, they are both fools." Mauhar presented a letter of resignation, retroactively dated May10, to the board on May 17, saying he would save the board from any "hard decision" about hisemployment. The board called a closed session to discuss the resignation. When the meeting wascalled back to order, Baker expressed his feelings about the resigna- ' Tony Mauhar tion, saying,"Mauhar deliberately went against the precise orders of his employer (the AS). In "I chose the moralsolution and divulged the information." any other business, they would fire him, not just accept hisresignation." Ayers countered "In most personnel matters, it is more appropriate and in the best interestof all to simply accept the resignation." The board's vote was 4-3 to fire Mauhar. "I would not lie norwould I withhold my personal knowledge of the results," Mauhar stated. "I believe there were other timesin our country's affairs in which men have been confronted with the issue of organizational secrecyversus the public's right to freedom of information. I chose the moral solution and divulged theinformation," Mauhar said. Martin Reeves, board member-elect, stated in a letter to the board that itsaction of removing ballot propositions is "an unjustifiable exercise of your authority." "If the question wassubmitted in good faith by a student," Reeves said, "then the board should act in good faith to see that itappears on the ballot." Reeves also pointed out there is "no provision in the Election Code for submittingballot propositions. Thus I would like to suggest if the results of the unauthorized propositions have beenreleased such would not constitute a violation of the code. It would merely be righting a wrong," he said.uArf^UrZifo Members of the English department are rocking %JJ tne writing world See story on page 7. ---------- Western Front - 1977 May 20 - Page 2 ---------- Security manual revised Handbook protects public byHPROBKNS A manual of Safety and Securityprocedures is available for public scrutiny after a year of editing and updating. R.G. Peterson, director ofSafety and Security, said the manual is revised periodically. The recent revision included changes andadditions to provide for the commissioning of officers. In November, 1975, several security officers werecommissioned as regular police officers. Peterson described the handbook as a guide for completeoperation of the Safety and Security Department. The procedure manual is no mere back-pocketpamphlet of regulations. Comprising a large binder with over 200 pages, the manual contains everythingfrom dress regulations and radio lingo to excerpts from the "Students' Rights and Responsibilities"document. The handbook protects the public from forgery, bribery or publicity seeking by securitypersonnel. General Order 17 directs officers and employes to speak the truth at all times. This rule allows an exception when information is restricted by the department. In such a situation, personnel aredirected to say nothing. Peterson said present federal and state laws prohibit releasing "criminal justiceinformation" to anyone except "others in the criminal justice system." He said an individual can examine any personal records held by the security department. Peterson added he is required by law to delete from the file any reference to other persons before permitting review by the individual. The purpose ofrestricting information is to protect the innocent from vengeance or undue publicity, he said. Regardingpublicity, General Order 34. states that officers and employes of the department "shall not make knownto any person, whether or not an officer or employe of the department, any order which they may Metrics class offered by JERRY GALLOWAY Many grade-school students know something you don't. Theinternational standard for measurement we call metrics is fast becoming a part of elementaryeducation in this country, leaving many adults feet, yards and miles behind. An initiation into the world of liters, meters and grams will be offered this summer at Western. "Metrics for the Consumer," July11-15, promises five receive unless required by the nature of the order." Another section of the manualexplains the use* of Field Interview Report (FIR) cards, short forms for recording the name, birthdate, sexand race of a suspect, and other relevant information. FIR cards are to be used when an officer has"reasonable cause to suspect the individual's activities, but insufficient evidence for arrest," according tothe manual. Peterson said the function of the card is identical for students and non-students. Heexplained the cards are kept primarily for observing any pattern of suspicious behavior or activity.Peterson related a hypothetical situation involving the FIR. A security officer might discover a personbehind a building at 3 a.m. The person is not committing a crime but the officer fills out a FIR card for thefiles. Perhaps the next week a different officer finds the same person standing behind a building at 3 a.m. Peterson said by keeping the cards security officers discover a pattern of loitering by the person. TheFIR system aids the prevention or solving of crimes on campus, he said. The handbook emphasizes thatunless a person has committed a crime for which arrest is necessary, the person is not required by lawto give any information about himself and cannot be restrained in any manner. The rule on marijuana isclear: Possession of more than 40 grams is a felony and governed by regular state and federal law. Aperson found in possession of 40 grams or less will be issued a. citation and notice to appear in court.According to the manual, this would "generally apply to persons in possession of marijuana cigarettes, roaches, pipes, or one or two lids of marijuana. As a general guideline, the patrolman's badge weighsapproximately 40 grams." NEED A STUDY BREAK? Jesus said "Come to Me, all who are weary and . heavy-laden, and I will give you rest."

English department New classes stress writing by AMY FLEMING A new series ofcourses under the Communications section of general college requirements (GCR) will be offered by the English department next fall. Ken Symes, director of composition of the English department,said the series is much more attractive and useful to students who want to improve their writing skillsthroughout their college careers. The revision was generated last spring by the Council of Arts andSciences Committee (CASC). It requested that the English department offer a remedial English usageclass for students deficient in correct use of the language and punctuation, sound sentence structureand basic compositional skills. The department agreed when it was allowed to revise existing Englishrequirements. Under Option A of Communication, English 101 and the 131, 132, 133 World Literatureand Composition series will not change their descriptions or place in GCR. English 201, 202 and 203,Introductions to Fiction, Drama and Poetry with Composition, will' be offered af fKe sopHo-' more level.English 301, Advanced Exposition; 302, Advanced Argumentation and English 325, Introduction toRhetoric, will be four-credit courses offered to juniors. These courses replace the current catalog'sEnglish 201 and 202 as the English department's central offerings under Option B. Symes saidresearch from the early 60s on composition shows: that seniors are worse writers than freshman."Students at Western do very little writing in their other GCR. Part of the fault lies with the presentstudent credit hours formula which penalizes departments that offer small lower-division courses whereinstructors could read essays and essay exams. Part of the fault also lies with instructors who, whenthey do teach small classes, see the teaching of writing as none of their business," Symes said. Hesaid that teaching writing is the concern of the entire college faculty. Students must practice in order toretain the ability to write," he added. "With the remedial program we will no longer have scared seniorstaking 101.

It's frequently found in politics these days. And, it emerged at the AS Boardof Directors meeting Tuesday. The board passed College President Paul Olscamp's request to give freepasses to college events to contributors of more than $1,000 to the Western Foundation, the college'sfund-raising organ. In return, AS will get a student position on the Foundation's Board of Trustees; Thewhole deal is subject to the Foundation board's approval. On the surface, this appears to be a good dealfor both back-scratching sides. The Foundation will be able to offer incentive to its contributors, and thestudent government will get representation on the college's foundation. The AS, however, may have justbeen taken. It stands to lose as much as $6,600 in student funds. Michael Kinder, program commissiondirector, said this is the possible amount of lost revenue from Olsc amp's proposal. And where does thismoney originally come from? The students' pockets. So, in essence, the students will be making a$6,600 contribution to the foundation. Student representation on the Foundation's Board of Trustees is agood idea — but should it carry a price tag with it? Political back-scratching has its place in government! It appears, however, that students are doing all the scratching and not getting anything in return. E.Asian studies Doesn't cost more As a member of the program in East Asian Studies (but not aspokesman to the program), I would like to express my appreciation for the fair and sympathetictreatment given us in Amy Fleming's series of articles (Front, May 3, 5 and 10). I would, however, like tocorrect the misleading impression given by the administrators she interviewed that the program in general and its two language-civilization positions in particular axe expensive. These administrators seem not tohave any concrete figures to back up such claims. I can, however, cite honest figures which, demonstrate that the program is relatively inexpensive. Western as a whole operates at 73 per cent of formula. (Theformula is a rather complex affair and is subject to abuse but let us ignore this factor for now and simplytreat the per cent of formula number as a convenient, albeit occasionally misleading, index number.The lower its index number, the less expensive the activity in question.) Last year the program,including all of its language courses, operated at 80-82 and this year at 84r87, which is within the upper-normal range. A significant number of programs are considerably more expensive than this.Journalism, for example, operated well above 110 this year. (I am not, let me hasten to add, in favor of EDWARD KAPLAN abolishing journalism!) The two language-civilization positions are not particularlyexpensive either. In addition to language courses, Professors David Pollack and Toru Takemoto togetherteach several hundred students in a number of general college requirement courses each year. This, theopportunity to demonstrate his skills that three years of incumbency have given Takemoto, and thegrowing popularity of the Japanese language, explain why the Japanese language-civilization postoperated at an index number of only 68* this year, which is less expensive than the program's overallfigure of 84-87 and the all college average figure of 73. The Chinese language-civilization position is at themoment rather more expensive, running at about 150. Even so, it is cheaper than the average FairhavenCollege slot fif one segregates, as one should, the productivity of Fairhaven College proper from its quiteseparate Seattle-based Center of Urban Studies). If we could have kept an instructor of Pollack's qualityfor at least an additional two years, I am sure he could have reduced the position's cost to between 90and 110, and this would, all other things remaining equal, have brought the program as a whole below 80. Why then the administration's wildly inaccurate claim that the program is too costly? That is a large andcomplicated problem involving the inherently irrational tropisms of modern bureaucracies, and I wouldprefer to postpone consideration of it to another occasion. lt;,• — Edward Kaplan Kaplan is anassociate professor of history. Oh yeSj meij are perfornoino .+onioM also Not a child-hater, but... . Leave your kids at home I sat in the Concert Hall a couple of weeks ago, listening to a student concert. Behind me sat a child, talking with his parents and scraping his feet across the top of the seats in front of him.We all might say, "children will be children," but is it fair for children who are not old enough to behaveproperly to be taken to public lectures, performances and ceremonies? Not really. Those patrons are notbeing hired to babysit; neither are the performers. Contrary to popular belief, those of us who make suchrealistic observations about small children are not child-haters. We are simply sick and tired of seeingchildren too young to be expected to act properly, act badly in public events they are dragged to. Thisdoes not mean a child should be kept locked in the house. It is necessary for children to be exposed topublic events that are more suitable for them, such as children's concerts, • theater productions andpuppet shows. A small child is too young to understand and enjoy an intense play or an operaperformance anyway. The argument that babysitters are hard to find is hard to believe. I have seenchildren at performances that require purchase of tickets in advance. There are parents who take theirchildren out of performances when they act up, and these people I thank.- And there are parents whonine times out of ten can be assured of their children's good behavior whan they take them out, andthese people I commend for their rearing practices. But to the parents who happily beam down at theirbaby as it cries through a person's solo, and the parents who simply ignore the distraction their childrenare causing, I say, think again about a few realities. The rest of the audience does not appreciate yourchildren as much as it would like to appreciate the performance it is attending. . The concept of smallchildren's inability to appreciate public events in the way adults :to lt; is like the concept of children ingeneral; it is a fact of life. — Liz Rust hoof-in-moufh While researching Anita Bryant's religiousbackground, this editor came up with some interesting facts. Perhaps the most fascinating thing thiseditor learned was that Anita has a unique translation of the Bible: the Queen James version, printed inearly 1976. A reliable Dade County source, with an FBI house surveillance permit, sent this editor thefollowing excerpts from her Bible's first book, "Orangenesis:" "And America was without morals andcorrupt, and drought was upon the face of California. Then the spirit of Anita moved upon the media . . ."And Anita said, 'Let us make man in our own image: and let them have dominion over the housewives ofAmerica and over the foul air and over every homosexual thing that creepeth upon the Earth.' "So Anitacreated man in her own mental image: after John Wayne, Burt Reynolds and Bobby Riggs. The femaleshe created likened unto Emily Post, Amy Vanderbilt and her own mother. "Now the homosexual wasmore subtle than any beast of the field which Anita had made. And he said unto the man, 'Yea, hathAnita said, ye shall not eat of every tree in the garden? "And the man said unto the homosexual, 'Wemay eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: " 'But of the fruits which sunbathe around the orange treewhich is in the midst of the garden, Anita hath said, ye shall not touch it, lest ye die.' "And thehomosexual said unto the man, 'Ye shall not surely die:' "For Anita doth know that in the day that ye ,partake thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Dave Kopay, knowing good andbisexuality. "And . . . he partook of the fruits thereof, and gave also unto his wife with him . . . "And Anita said unto the man, 'What is this that thou has done?' And the man said, "The libmbsexual^ "And Anitasaid unto the homosexual, 'Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all prostitutes andliberal politicians; upon an empty belly shalt thou go, for thou shalt nave neither job security nor equalrights all the days of thy life: "Therefore, Anita sent him forth from the garden of Florida." Anitaprofesses strong belief in her Bible, as well as baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and orange juice. She is anew religious leader on the scale of Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. She will lead America to a newrevival of prejudice. — Greg Hoofhagle staff EDITOR: Greg Hoofnagle NEWS EDITOR: Bruce HylandFEATURE EDITOR: Liz Verdier PHOTO EDITOR: Bill Slater ARTS ENTERTAINMENT: Lk RustSPORTS EDITOR: Bruce Stinshoff OPINION EDITOR: John Nelson HEAD COPY EDITOR: Jim HarrisonCOPY EDITORS: Marshall Brown, Laurie Dunham, Ann Emanuel, Amy Fleming, Gregg OlsenPRODUCTION MANAGER: Sue Taylor ASST.

That one incursresponsibilities staff commentary America snowed by politicos Politicians are masters of the Englishlanguage. By choosing just the right word and placing emphasis in just the right spot, they can makebad news sound good, failure sound like success and dangerous propositions sound perfectly harmless. Take a recent press release from our own U.S. Senator, Warren G. Magnuson, on the impendingshipment of Trident nuclear missile components to Bangor, Wash. It provides a splendid example ofthe verbal hide-n-seek played by politicians in potentially lethal situations. The release begins byannouncing that a plan for the safe rail transportation of the missile components has been approved. Itthen goes into some background material. We learn from the release that Magnuson has been a veryactive public servant, requesting this commission to do this and that committee to do that, in the name of railroad safety. We do not learn, however, what action was taken in response to those requests, if anywas taken at all. The most significant — hence, the most misleading — paragraph in the releasefollows: "Assistant Navy Secretary John J. Bennett has now assured Magnuson that 'the Navy isconfident that hazardous missile components of the Trident weapon system can be safety shipped . . .' "Sounds encouraging, doesn't it? It's not. Note that Bennett is not assuring Magnuson that the nuclearmissiles will be safe. He is assuring Magnuson that "the Navy is confident" the nuclear missiles will besafe. I am confident that Magnuson, the Navy and the numerous federal and state agencies are trying tosnow the public. In effect, the government is saying nothing more than, "Even though there's noguarantee we can ship these hazardous nuclear missiles safely, we're going to do it anyway and justhope for the best." But it's so reassuring the way Magnuson puts it. — Bruce Hyland through no faultof one's own, is' important here. In the case of campus police chiefs, I am not sure whether we ought toblame them before your article or after your article, and I applaud your logic prior to your placement ofblame. But the campus police chief incurs blame here by way of your cleverness. I see no signature and some men like to hide from letting other men know their heart is bitter and that they want to blamesomeone and yet you need not hide because you have uncovered something good. We have laws thatare silent and not written. We have laws that are written. We have men who are lawmen. Some lawmenplace blame. Some lawmen make logical mistakes and other men outwit them. That is all. We are allfools and I am hopeful the campus police chief will soon thank you, as well all should for uncovering agreat good for us all. Thank you.

Didn't she know that, whatever the theme, the motif was graphic sex?We have people attempting to regulate our morals on the right of us and people attempting to regulateour morals on the left. I think it is a common sin, especially of those who "grapple with the issues of life" to presume to know the right-ness or wrongness of a giver situation and prescribe the correct remedy.I hope O'Dea is not so presumptuous to assume she i speaks from the woman's point . of view. I hopenot, because there is not one woman's point of view — only points of view of individual women. To methe movie was decidedly wholesome. It is a Victorian notion that heterosexual intercourse isenjoyable to the male and repugnant to the female. To deny sexuality is to deny life. It is surely areactionary voice that claims that enjoying each other sexually is sexist. God in her infinite wisdom gave us the key to sexual pleasure. The suggestion that the AS will sponsor gang rapes next is not worthyof comment. As for the auditorium being "an arena of massive sexual abuse," it just wasn't true at theshowing I attended. I sincerely like the way it was phrased, however untrue it actually was. I have just read that "Women in Love" was sexist and am too tired to comment.

Speaking on "Hollywood Archaeology," Darlingpresented 300 to 400 slides he made from film clips "found in the gutters of Hollywood" to four dozenpersons in Lecture Hall 3 last Tuesday. Hollywood gutter highlights in Darling's presentation includedslides of Winnie the Pooh with Piglet, Barbra Streisand, John Wayne, scenes from "The Godfather,"Baretta ("eating a golf ball"), Captain Crunch, Jimmy Durante, Mario Thomas, The Lone Ranger ("Whatare you doing after the Indian battles tonight, Tonto?") and many others. Darling, who lives in Hollywood,believes "they should show these in the theaters." Darling calls himself "a modern artist" and has beencollecting his film clips for "five or six years." He stresses he never searches garbage bins for his filmclips. They all originate from the gutters. As a result of this, many of the film clips are scratched and oil-stained. Also included in "Hollywood Archaeology," were slides of Grauman's Chinese Theater, theentrance to the now defunct "Sandy Duncan Show" and the former "This Is Your Life" stage door. Darling also planned to speak on "World Problems" yesterday. This lecture was to include the reading of lettershe has sent to politicians (and several of their replies) concerning world problems and how to solve them. Darling said he sent a letter to former California Gov. Ronald Reagan, offering to sew up the San Andreas Fault to prevent earthquakes. Darling didn't get a reply from Reagan, but he did take some rawhideand actually "laced up the fault." he said, "like a football." Such letters, along with books, postcards,photo copies, etc., "have become a serious art movement," Darling said, involving "a whole network ofartists." Once, he said, he was mailed the jawbone of a donkey with the stamp and address on it. Healso mentioned that one artist was sent a dead pib. Darling is the founder of the Fat City of Finds Artschool, which has over 50,000 graduates, of whom he said, "As soon as they graduate we hire themimmediately as teachers." Larry Hanson, of the art department, said Darling's work is "conceptual art." "I enjoy what he does, and I take him seriously," Hanson said, adding "Obviously, there is a lot of satire inwhat he does." Darling said he has "nailed down every major city to the ground." How does he do it?With a map, he locates the four corners of a city and then goes to those points and drives a nail throughthe corners, he said. "And since I have done it, "Darling said, "a single city that I have nailed down hasn'tfallen from the face of the earth." In fact, Darling performed acupuncture on Bellingham at noonWednesday, after consulting an audience at a press conference on which problems the city needs toovercome. He found that supertankers in the sound and a shortage of fish in Bellingham Bay were twomajor concerns, so he acupunctured ground under the DiSuvero sculpture in the Music Plaza to relievethem. Upon completion of his operation, Darling" said, "Now, how does that feel?" and the audienceclapped. "In a few days, you should see fish jumping around in the water." _ SRC THEATRES•••••••• Viking 1 Meridian Telegraph Pd - 676-0903 © : THE PICTURE SHOUT f^W 1209 -11th ^ OUR SPRING FESTIVAL£J « ^ CONTINUES: W "STREAK" — 7:05-10:55 "BABY BLUE" — 9:15 — Sunday from 1:30 • gt; SILVER STRERN) BABY BLUE MARINE' [ Viking 2Meridian Telegraph Rd • 676-090]1 • Max von Sydow LivUllmann TOie Emigrants 7:00 9:55ends Friday STARTS SATURDAY ACADEMY AWARD ; BEST SONG: "EVERGREEN" nitely —7:00-9:45 Sun.

The films "attempt to show that Christianity has some answers forvery deep problem areas in our society," Doug Bosscher, college minister for Inter Varsity ChristianFellowship, said. Throughout the series, Schaeffer contrasts Christianity to humanism, saying that whilethe Christian world view has its foundation in "an infinities personal God," humanism has only the \finiteness of man. . . .

An added bonus to the production was the beautifulscenic shots of Europe and the United States. Schaeffer narrated the film with such backgrounds as thecoliseum in Rome, and Michaelangelo's "David" in Italy. Seeing the films was like taking a trip throughEurope, in the comfort of Arntzen 100. Schaeffer did not hold back criticism when discussing societyand its problems, but the series was not a self righteous pat on the back for Christians. He was quick topoint out the weaknesses in the Church throughout history. Harvy Hiller, of the history department, saidthe Church usually had problems where the absolutes of Christianity were not applied. The lastepisode, "Final Choices," was probably the most effective of the entire series. In it, Schaeffer discussesthe issue of personal peace — everyone doing whatever they want, regardless of the consequences toothers — and affluence — "things, things and more things;" judging others by how much they have.Schaeffer challenges Christians to live lifestyles that are devoid of the attitudes of personal peace andaffluences, and to instead follow biblical principles for living. members [left] Karen Polhamus, a studentwho worked with Schaeffer resbyterian Church College Minister Tom Cooper and foreign language :khausled audience-panel discussion after each film in the Schaeffer Give to the American Cancer Society inour back yard: Writers recognized by JANE BUTT and GALEFIEGE Some writers say it seems theimpossible dream, but three members of Western's English department, Greg Bowers, Professors GeneGarber and Robert Huff, have been nationally recognized for their writing.

While most travel books list hotels way beyond a student's budget andrecommend visits to well-worn tourist traps (the Eiffel Tower and Buckingham Palace) Let's Go can guideone to a cheap, clean room, a little-known restaurant, and a museum, at a combined price of less than$10.

Are you out of your family tree? by JERRY GALLOWAY You probably know by now that everybody has"roots" — but you might not know how to begin tracing your own. A summer workshop sponsored by Western can get you started. "Genealogy and Family History," will be held in Seattle June 13-17,utilizing regional research sources there. Instructor Leroy Dresbeck, of Western's history department, said the National Archives and Records Center and the Seattle Public Library are among the bestreference centers in the Western United States for genealogical research. While learning research techniques, Dresbeck said, students also learn American history. "In peeling back thegenerations, you often reverse the trek west made by many settlers," he said. "Along the way youuncover a lot about this country's past." Dresbeck noted it was once only a matter of "snob appeal" to know your family tree, but since the television series based on Alex Haley's "Roots," genealogy hassurpassed stamp and coin collecting to become America's favorite pastime. The workshop is offered intwo sections — one for those beginning their research, and another for more advanced students.

Not 'sew' much anymore by LAURIE DUNHAM Nothing's "cooking" in the home economics department these days, if Design 77 is representative of its current activities.Design 77, exhibited earlier this week, was organized to display creative work done by home economicsstudents. "We wanted to show people we're doing more than just cooking and sewing," exhibitcoordinator Jennifer Massie sfliH. The exhibit mainly featured aspects of home furnishings. Severalblock prints were displayed, along with furniture, rugs and wall hangings. Architectural drawings byMassie, a merchandising display by Judy Hanson, and perspective drawings by Althea Dean wereamong other exhibits. In a perspective drawing, Massie explained, the student works with a designproblem from the community. One student designed a bathroom for the YWCA, she said, and twoothers redid the inside of a local tavern. "A lot of people have come through and been surprised to seeus doing all this," Massie said. "I've already sent a few students over for the department chairman torecruit." Massie, a senior home economics major, said it was the last subject she ever thought she'dbe interested in. She had planned to study art, then discovered home economics encompassed artalong with a wide range of other topics. About 300 students are in the home economics department this quarter. Some take concentrations in interior design and merchandising or child development.Others study family and community services, secondary teacher education, or general homeeconomics, Massie said.

Ul'rt cte- " ^ ^ Fen^ca.1' Instructorgets point across Fencing scores at Western When Graduate student Andy McCulloch-Kerr came toWestern from England, the fencing club was in a "weak state." After McCulloch-Kerr took over thecoaching responsibilities, the team started to become more competitive. Now after a half a year ascoach, McCulloch-Kerr said he is no longer hoping for a team that is just able to represent Western, but. j j i i . i - • — — - —• "Fencing is the hunting of one person against another. You learn how toprey on other people." one which can represent the state against other teams in the nation. "Fencing isa demanding sport," McCulloch said. "It's a combination of mind and body. Mentally it's as demanding as tai ch'i, hunting or chess. Physically it's as difficult as swimming, dancing or any other sport."McCulloch-Kerr spent three years in his native England running a fencing club and giving formal fencinglessons. McCulloch-Kerr stressed that formal lessons are absolutely necessary. "Lessons areessential," McCulloch-Kerr said. "They prevent one from developing undesirable traits which can hold one back as one becomes more proficient." Competitive fencing in its various forms is "Fencing is ademanding sport. It's a combination of mind and body." lt; » .._•. i '. _ • i. • ii based onseveral types of combat fencing. In competitive fencing, the winner is the one who first scores fivetouches against his opponent's body with his blade. Various types of fencing allow touches on differentparts of the body. There are historical reasons for the various methods of scoring points. "The sabercompetition represents fencing on horseback," McCulloch-Kerr said. "If you're sitting in the saddle youcan lose your leg and still keep on fighting. That's why points can be scored by touches on the legs aswell as the upper body." The epee, which resembles the rapier (of Three Musketeer fame) can only score touches above the waist, since in foot combat, once one is wounded in the leg one wouldn't be able to• continue to fight. The foil, which was first used as a training weapon by French kings can only scoretouches above the waist, since it was used to master the epee. Although fencers no longer attempt tokill one another, McCulloch-Kerr said that it is a violent sport. "Fencing is the hunting of one personagainst another," McCulloch-Kerr said. "It's a science. • i. i i • II i mi r While fencing requires speed and stamina, it is also a thinking game, much like chess. You learn how to prey on other people."McCulloch explained that to be a competitive fencer, one had to approach the sport like it was a realcombat situation. While fencing requires speed and stamina, it is also a thinking game, much like chess. "In fencing you make moves of the second and third intention," McCulloch-Kerr said. "You have to beable to execute a fake against an opponent, yet be ready to carry it out if he doesn't react to it." Thetime a competitive fencer has to react is extremely short. Some master fencers are able to make up tothree moves within l/16th of a second. Western's fencing club meets three nights week, Tuesday andWednesday in Gym C and Thursday in Gym D. "The fencing club is there for recreation as well asrepresentation," McCulloch-Kerr said. "There is room for everyone."

While all but a few insomniacs were asleep at five in themorning, Ralph Braseth and Greg Styrk, along with their teammates, spent this hour pulling their oarsthrough the icy waters of Lake Samish. Braseth and Styrk, who graduated from West Seattle HighSchool, were on varsity this ye IT. Styrk rowed as a member of the Heavyweight Eight, while Brasethmanned a paddle in the Lightweight Eight racing shell. "I first got interested in crew by signs and, seeing racing shells displayed in Red Square," Braseth said. "I joined first, and Greg decided to join after I did." Although both rowers were involved in sports in high school, this was a different experience since theystarted turnouts in fall for a spring sport. This has made their school work more difficult than usual. "Thetime factor is really great," Styrk said. "After three hours of rowing in the morning, I find myself fallingalseep in class." "It physically beats you," Braseth said. "As well as morning workouts, I often spend the afternoons jogging, running stairs or lifting ^^* " weights." Styrk, who played football in high school, said he feels crew requires more strength and endurance. "You have to have technique, but more so, youneed to have power behind your strokes," Styrk said. "Our coach told us that a crew race is comparableto a three-mile run at full speed." While crew members have often been put in the same class with longdistance runners, bicycle racers and other individual sports athletes, Braseth said he feels crew isdefinitely a team sport. "There's nothing individual about crew," Braseth said. "It's one head and eightbodies all working together." "There's a lot of spirit among the team members," Styrk said, "as well as asense of enthusiasm in each boat." Styrk said he enjoyed the races, but Braseth said the team haspracticed over 500 hours this year and has raced less than 30 minutes. Reasons for competing on theteam were for a sense of accomplishment, for exercise, and just to participate in a sport. One thing iscertain: Next year, at five in the morning, there will be two students who won't be lying comfortably intheir beds. ^ ^ t e s ^ - ^ - J 4 ~~ Checking in on chess club Do you know how to mate? You canpractice the basic positions weekly at chess club meetings in Viking Union 354. A handful of Westernchess players gather each Monday at 6 p.m. to wage battle on 64 squares. They present,a quiet yettense scene: figures lean over boards, fingers drum on the table, and sometimes a chess clock tickes in the background. The club was revived this fall by freshman Jeff Lawry, after most of last year'smembers had graduated or moved. Most of the newcomers, like Lowry, had played while in high school. Golfers prepare for national meet After months of unrecognized, individual practice and quietdetermination, Western's golf team has emerged to compete in this year's national meet. For the firsttime since 1973, a team will represent Western at the national tournament at Saginaw Valley College inMichigan. The team has been working out on its own since September, although the season beganspring quarter. As a result, five members will travel to Michigan June 7 to compete with 32 other teams throughout the nation. John VonLossow, sophomore and new member of the team; Jim Conway, junior; Marty Fen-drick, senior and Jeff Heathers, junior, will go to nationals. In addition, Pat Mace,sophomore, and Conrad Lynberg, junior and new member of the team, will have a 36-hole match todetermine the final spot on the traveling squad. The team won all its dual meets, two invitationals andplaced second in another invitational. Lounsberry said the team owes its success to its depth. "Thisis the best team that we've had in a long time," Lounsberry said. "The fact that we have strong players at the four, five and six positions makes it good." Depth is important because only the top five scores ofeach day count. With six good players, a team can afford to have one player do poorly without havingit effect the team score. VonLossow, Fendrick and The format for nationals will be an initial 36 holes with all 33 teams. The top 17 teams then battle for the national link crown. "I'll be very disappointed if theteam doesn't make the cut," Lounsberry said. Chess players will also be meeting this weekend for atwo-day tournament sponsored by the club in VU 361. Registration for the five-round event is from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, $8 for Western students and $10 for non-students. Membership in one of the Northwest Chess Federation divisions (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, or British Columbia), is alsorequired since players will receive rating points. Membership fees are $4 for juniors (under 21) and $6regular, which includes a subscription to Northwest Chess magazine. Eric Tangborn, a 15-year-oldTacoma chess expert, is expected to compete. He defeated 19 of 21 players simultaneously in anexhibition at Western last quarter. Cash prizes for the tournament will depend on the number ofentries. Awards will be $75 for first place, $30 for second and $25 for third, overall The top class-Aprated overall. The top class-A-rated playler will receive $35. Those at the top of each of three rating classeswill be awarded $30.

May 19-20-21 NORTHWEST DIVERS 2720 W. MAPLEWOOD ---------- Western Front - 1977 May 20 - Page 12 ---------- A catalytic what? Chemistry class takes look at cars A Catalytic converter is not an attachment thatgives your bug the limousine look. The initials E.G.R. on the dashboard of your Datsun do not stand forengine room. Automotive chemistry, a course taught by George Kriz, is designed for chemists,technology majors and car enthusiasts. The course, offered annually, looks at the basic chemicalprocesses in the automobile. When you are driving down 1-5 for instance, and someone seems to betapping out a Morse code under your hood, what's happening? An engine knock is caused whenexploding gas hits a piston before it has reached the top of its cycle. If you've ever gone to the park andbeen pushed before your swing reached the top of its arc you know what the piston feels like, Kriz said. There's also more to a catalytic converter than the extra cents you pay for unleaded gas. A convertergives you maximum engine power without brown nitrogen oxide, sooty hydrocarbon or toxic carbonmonoxide emissions, Kriz said. If you do pump leaded gas into your converter, however, the lead willquickly inactivate the catalyst in it and your buggy will spew more pollutants into the air than your dad's'60 sedan does. A car without a converter can get by with regular gas. If it knocks it can still use ethylgas. Ethyl gas contains tetraethyl lead. Lead slows down combustion so that the vapors hit the piston at the right time. Gases formed at different temperatures behave differently, though, and this is whereoctane ratings come from. If a gas burns as well as one called iso-octane, for example, the gasoline islabled 100 octane. If it burns as poorly as a gas called heptane it is labeled 0 octane. The gasolinedilemma can be avoided all together by investing in a diesel engine. Diesel fuel won't stop knockingproblems and it smells bad, but it is cheap and there are no emission standards, Kriz said. Althoughdiesel fuel is cheap, you might not be aoie to afford the Mercedes or Oldsmobile the engine comes in.Volkswagen Rabbits are coming out with a diesel option also, Kriz said. There are other fuels thatchemists are testing. Methanol is a good economical possibility, because it is extracted from coal andnot from oil. Fuels have to be chosen carefully, though. They must burn slowly and consistently. Theymust also evaporate a little in cold weather, but not too much in hot weather. This is necessary becauseif there is no vapor in the chamber, the spark plugs have nothing to ignite. Whatever your car is, there'smore to its chemistry than its fuel composition. If you don't want it to rust, for example, you must keepoxygen and water away from any of its iron. Wax works, but only if it sheds water completely. PUTYOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT ON ICE FOR THE SUMMER. Leaving for the summer? Don't close yourchecking account. Put it on ice. Just give us the word. We'll keep it open all summer with no servicecharge (as long as it remains inactive). Of course, you could use your account anytime during thesummer, and pay the normal service charge for that month only. Either way, when you come backto school in September, your account will be open and waiting for you. Now how's that for a cool idea. RMOTERBMK MEMBER FDIC

LosAmigos Jalacinga, Vera Cruze, Mexico December 1, 1952 Dear Friends: Merry Christmas to all of youat WWC. With the Christmas season so quickly upon us it is hard for me to realize that I've been inMexico for three months and away from all of you at Western for five months—it seems like onlyyesterday! Celebrating Chirstmas in a foreign country is going to be a thrilling experience.

Hardie, Reinholt, and Collyer attended this discussiongroup. Washington State college, where the conference was held, was the only college of thoserepresented that was incorporated or had a student union building. Mark Hardie, student bodypresident, said that a growing school required cooperation and work by the students, and we atWestern need to work on coordinating student government with faculty, administration, and town.Committee and finance systems are inefficient and need improving. He also said that Western isplanning on constructing a student union building which should be ready by the time the growingenrollment will need it. Loretta Olson attended the newspaper business managers' discussion group.Secretaries from Washington State college took minutes of each group discussion which will becompiled and sent to all attending delegates. A wire recording was made of a "well liked" speech on "Group Dynamics," by Dr. Ralph Eckert which will be replayed at the Board of (Continued on Page 6) Eleven WWC graduates have been placed in various school districts of the state during fall quarter.Three will be teaching primary grades, seven elementary grades and one high school. - Those placed by the appointment bureau are, Stella Brown, Bellingham school district, primary grades; FrederickBruns.

They go to a house and ask for lodging; they are refused at first but finally admitted amid rejoicing. Inside the people offer prayers at the manger scene.Then there are refreshments and a pinata. This is a clay jar covered with colored paper and filled withsweets and toys. A person is blindfolded, given a stick, turned around and sent off in the wrongdirection beating the air wildly while someone holds the pinata carefully out of reach on a rope.

And with it comes little gifts from the office of the registrar bearing glad tidings forsome, and not-so-glad for others. The question is, how does. Western compare academically withother colleges in the United States. This is, of course, of much interest to those who wish to transfer toother colleges and universities, to those who desire the college to have a high professional reputation sothat they may have a better than average chance to secure a job over applicants from other educationinstitutions, and to those of the administration and student body who desire the college to maintain ahigh academic reputation to attract top notch junior college and high school students. if it can be foundthat the average Western student receives higher recommendations than comparative talent from otherschools, or that the academic standards of the school are lower, then we are in danger of becomingineffective in maintaining this high scholastic reputation which Western has built up over the last fewyears. Maintaining enrollment in a state-supported school is an economic necessity which, at the time of receiving benefits of a large enrollment, also accepts applications from any and all students desiringadmission, whether they are fitted for collegiate pursuits or not. If those with poor chances of survival aredropped, then those going out.into the professional field will stand a lesser chance of having their recordshaken by inconsistent standards. If this problem exists at Western, then perhaps the Chirstmas tidingswhich seem glad on the surface, will riot seem tod cheerful ten Christmases hence. 'What Would YouLike for Christmas?' With Christmas just around the corner have your thoughts turned to Christmasshopping? Are you wondering just what to get that certain someone? When asked, "What would you liketo get as a Christmas' present from a boy?" (this was asked of girls) "from a girl?"

Our closest friends include the scrape maker who is teaching some of us to card wooland shows us how he spins and weaves the serapes, his wife who is teaching us to cook Mexican style, and the bakers who are helping us to learn how to make Mexican rolls called "bolillos" arid sweet breadcalled "pan dulce." Mexico seems to be a country of. great contrasts—many rich people living •luxuriously in Mexico City, and many more living in villages in rude huts with a mud floor and very; littleto call their own; hot tropical valleys and cold rainy mountain areas and much desert land too; the mostmodern new university buildings I've ever,seen, and the ancient remains of civilizations 3000 years old. it is the most fascinating place I've ever,,lived! 't It is a tremendous experience to be a part of a villagethat has vastly different customs and speaks a foreign language; to View one's country from, afar andto realize how others feel about our bigness and our power, and to be a part of an international livinggroup that at least appears to be successful at this point. I'm still climbing mountains, and also seem to have acquired the title of chief consultant regarding cooking matters. I'm looking forward to starting acooking class with some of the Mexican women soon. We all look forward to many new and meaningfulexperiences in 1953. May the New Year bring each of you wonderful new experiences too. Best wishesto all, from, LIZ DANIEL WWCollegian Page 2 Friday, December 19, 1952 fkeside Chat Pall quarter,1952, has come to a close; about all that remains is the sweating over exams. This time of the year hasa special significance for the Board of Control because it is time for a faculty member of the Board toretire his position to another faculty member. There are three representatives from the faculty, eachserving for three years with staggered terms of office. The closing of this fall quarter ends the term heldby.Dr. M. F. Cederstrom, English department, who has been a willing and faithful member. Dr.Cederstrom has also been an asset for he has had much to contribute in the discussions and businessmatters of the Board. He has always accepted his share of the responsibility whether it be acommitteeman or as ohaperone to student activities. "Cede," I speak for all those who have servedwith you when I say that we have enjoyed having you; with us and have appreciated your interest andvitality in Western's student government. Next quarter Dr. Howard Critch-field, geography instructor, willjoin the ranks with Miss Pat Heiber and Harvey Gelder as faculty members on the student Board' ofControl. On behalf of Paul Dodsworth, ASB vice president; Bill Collyer, ASB secretary; the fifteenmembers of the Board of Control, and myself, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy,Happy New Year.

Is Santa \ For the Kids, or the Parents? j By CAROLMULFORD As every child stops believing Santa Claus tales, no doubt he draws his own conclusionsabout the various myths. He probably begins to doubt the purposes, and the sanity of the adults tellinghim the Saint Nick and reindeer prose, particularly when they seem to get a bigger kick out of relating thestories than he does listening to them with a feigned mystified expression. The younger generationfisquite-?- well infprmed on a variety of subjects these days. For instance one popular song junior couldhave fun misconstruing is "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." No doubt he has heard about mommies and icemen from the olden days. What a switch!. Then there is that one about "Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer." The most plausible solution to the mystery is that Rudolph has a light globe noseattached, and it is if- Prof. Willard Smith New to Faculty By ROGER GRAY New on the economicsstaff. at Western this year is Professor Willard Smith—no relation to the English economist, AdamSmith. Mr. Smith comes to Western directly froin the Office of Price Stabilization in Portland,Oregon, where he held a high government rating. His duties/there involved explaining, interpreting, andadjusting government price regulations for businessmen. { Before working for OPS, Mr. Smithtaught economics at Willamette University in Oregon. He received his BA at the University ofWashington in 1941, where he was a summa cum laude graduate. Between BA and MA, he served forfour years as an officer in the army and participated in the campaigns of North Africa, Sicily, and Italy.After discharge, Mr. Smith enrolled at Princeton, where he received his MA and taught economicswhile working on his Ph.D. By way of civic interest, he teaches a night class in money and banking for employees of local banks. Mr. Smith is married and has two sons, ages one and three. luminated bymeans of a battery. Must be similar to the glo-bow ties that were popular a few years back. Or possiblyRudolph has been absconding with a few kegs from the St. Bernard rescue group. Nowadays theyteach them all about science in the lower grades. It's doubtful that many children are even concernedwith the fundamentals of Christmas stories. Santa's sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer flying throughthe midnight sky? Nonsense! In the first place it would take some sort of a motor. In the second placein this modern world Santa should be able to afford a jet plane. Logical conclusion for junior to make,isn't it? Speaking of jet planes, the world's growing population should require perhaps a squadron ofthem. WelL considering a greatejr population would need more presents—perhaps that is the reasonthe Christmas presents around the house aren't quite what they should be. Of course that has ananswer too. Taxes have been higher, and Dad seems to be complaining a lot about them. Maybe thenext administration will take care of that. (Junior knew the scoop on Santa beforehand, andapparently would rather get into a fast political discussion.) There go the Christmas myths. Exploded,just like the atom bomb. Sounds like a good correlation, when you consider this generation's avidity forscience fiction. On the other hand the children probably have a good psychological understanding ofadults. They may even tolerate a few more tales between now and Christmas.

The Vikings, led by BobHansen, bounced back Saturday night to win 66-52. Friday night Western had trouble finding the hoopas they made only 22 field goals out of 92 attempts. On the other hand SPC displayed a terrific attack* ~ in which every player had a hand. "Western's defense seemed to collapse which also aided the SPCvictory," said Coach McDonald. The only bright spot of Western's loss was Bob Woodman's 18points. Saturday night led by forward Bob Hansen who contributed 22 points, 15 in the last half, andhustling guard Bob Petrosik with 12 points the Vikings emerged victors 66-52. Playing a veryunspectacular first half Western left the floor at intermission leading 27-23. The second half was adifferent story, led by Hansen who seemed to play inspired ball, as the Vikings raced to victory. In thepreliminary game Saturday night the cubs defeated Klondike 49-48.

XXXVI--NQ, 15 Live And Learn -By Don Gooding. Shades of Grandpa! Reminiscent of better and older times was the hdrse-drawh cutter taking advantage of the icy condition of downtown streets the other day. Years ago the place was swarming with them, and.unless you had the agility of an adagio addict, your life was at stake out-of-doors. * * * * * Some industrious, downtrodden politician should take advantage of the present session of the state's legislature and introduce a measure which would ultimately cause streetcars to chase potential riders instead of vice versa, as the system is now run. Then we could be sure in saying that politics are worthwhile. One not-too-well known col-league of yours has estimated his chasing distance at two miles per month, a goodly ^average. During tlito tlnje, Jtwo local sprint records were fatally; hent,. along.; w i th three garbage, cans, a bunch of pedestrians, and sundry other objects unavoidable at the time. And all because of a girl. Goodness! * * * * * Detroit moralists were given a seoere jolt one morning when they read of a judicial scandal whch somehow had escaped their notice. Two bedraggled prisoners had been led before the court and asked to take the usual oath. At the point where their hands were in.the air, the two gentlemen's trousers, pants to you, slid, downward, sending the courtroom into hysteria. The department was commended for its diligent searching but was requested to leave all belts, suspenders, and other supports on the immediate persons of all future defendants. * * * * * Speaking of legislation, it might be well to note that a bill has just been introduced in the halls of the state Congress which will change the names of the three Washington Normal from WSNS to Western Washington College of Education for our Normal, Eastern Washington for Cheney, and Central Washington for KUensburg. Headed by Whatcom's Senator Roland, 16 other lawmakers are united in an effort to force this measure through. * * * * * The movement was given impetus last Homecoming game when Governor Martin made some remark about Coach Lappenbusch's College of Education posters which set the pot boiling. So, getting together with the other Normal heads, President Fisher, who has been in Olympia this week,, began the task of convincing legislators of the merits of such a change, and judging by the present results, he was highly successful. WSCE, is here we come!! * * * * * YE OLDE CONGRESS They dined a bit, and wined a bit Adopted many motions The chief thing they accomplished was To scatter kindly notions. They differed as to methods They disagreed on ends The happy termination Was They parted wiser friends. As a result of Governor Lehman's last minute leniency, seven more prisoners will board at the expense of the State of New York, for the remainder of their lives. These same commutations of sentence will also save the taxpayers over $1000 in execution fees. Instead of $900 for six executions, official executioner Robert Elliot received but $300 for two, in place of $600 for four, only $150 for one. The question is, did the state gain anything? Perhaps some of you noticed the hne in last week's story of "Much Ado About Nothing,'' in which some industrious reporter tried to launch Monday into a lengthy rehearsal session lasting until late in March. He jaeant well, anyhow. Vander Griend, Zylstra Win In Primaries Lund* Tomco Ate Selected un Reps Annual Representatives. On the Campus Voted Wednesday In Elections Big Percentage Votes Prizes Awarded Victorious Pair, Subscriptions To Life Florence Lund and Ed Tomco have been elected most representative woman and man in Bellingham Normal's student election held last Wednesday in the Men's club room. This election is sponsored yearly by Normal's annual, the Klipsun. Miss Lund, prominent in school affairs, was president of the student body last quarter. She was also student body vice-president for four quarters and is one of those whose influence has put the Blue Triangle on the map. Miss Lund graduated from Everett high school in 1932 and is now in her ninth quarter at Normal. Tomco, the most representative man, is a two-year letterman on the football team and was this last season elected captain by his mates. Hailing from Seattle and a junior at present, Tomco attended the University of Washington as a freshman where he made the Frosh football squad. He is the second of the Tomcos to attend Normal, his brother Mike having played football under Lappenbusch three years ago. The men candidates nominated were: Ed Tomco, Chet Ullin, and Dick Carver; the women candidates were Florence Lund, Kathryn Hatch, and Margaret Thon. Of the 410 ballots cast in the election 385 votes were polled in the popularity contest. As prizes for the winners sub scriptions to the Life magazine will be presented. Their pictures will be featured in the 1937 Klipsun. This is the fifth annual most representative man and woman contest sponsored by the yearbook. The winners were in past years as follows: 1933, Doris McElmon and Vernon Leatha; 1934, Harriet Rick-erson and Otto Pinley; 1935 Christine Albers and Tony Zambas; 1936, Joan Hoppe and Bud VanderGriend. Sea Salts Extraction Told at Rotary Club Luncheon by Philippi "Useful products," said Professor H. C. Philippi, of the Bellingham Normal school chemistry department, before the Rotary club meeting in the Leopold hotel last Monday, "are being extracted from the sea for man's use in large quantities at the present time." "Of the 60 quadrillion tons of salt in the 450,000,000 cubic miles of water that covers the earth's surface," he continued, "three-fourths is common salt. Magnesium follows with two and a half quadrillion tons and then, in brder, are calcium, potassium, and bromine.' "The running short of bromine was the cause of scientists starting after materials," Mr. Philippi went on to explain. In 1924 the total amount of bromine used was 2,000,- 000 pounds per year, chiefly consumed in photography, dyes and drugs. By 1924 consumption of bromine, due to the increased use of Ethyl gasoline, had gone up to 9,000,000 pounds per year, ethyline dibronide and lead tetraethyl being used in preparing the gasoline. Up to this time all bromine was taken from salt wells in Michigan. Dupont's Experiment Since 1934 the Ethyl Gasoline corporation and the Duponts set up a floating experimental laboratory and, though their engineers were very poor sailors, they proved bromine could be extracted from the sea. Another company, the Dow Chemical Company, put up a plant on land. With the help of the United States 'Geodetic survey they finally built a plant to extract 15,000 pounds per day. This plant, built to extract bromine and then manufacture ethyline dlbromide, was finished in five months. The only other industry of this kind in the United States is on the coast south of San Francisco and produces Vienna Choir Boys Valentine Informal Headed by Pulver Women's League .. Choosts Hotel Leopold for Informal Sponsored by the Women's league, the annual Valentine informal will be held in the Crystal ballroom of the Hotel Leopold on,the evening of February 6. Martha Lou Pulver, general chairman of the dance, ap pointed committees and the list was posted on the Women's league bulle tin board. At the meeting of the committee chairmen Tuesday, it was decided to use the valentine motif and to make the dance a yearly tradition. Decorations will; carry the Valeh tine idea throughout. The committee also decided that the women will invite the men and purchase the tickets. Appointed by Miss Pulver were the following committee chairmen: Marian Rhodes, publicity; Alma Carr, programs; Pauline Barnes, decorations; Arlene Dickinson, refreshments; Lili Brown, patrons; Katherine Kobervig, entertainment; Helen Masters, properties. "In order to arrange for the perfect dance, it is necessary for the girls to sign the list on the bulletin board as soon as possible," Miss Pulver stated. The orchestra has not been selected as yet. YWCA Conference Set Back Until Next Week Scheduled for the latter part of this week, the annual Normal school Bible Institute sponsored by the YWCA has been postponed to next week, January 28-31 inclusive. Postponement was due to weather conditions which made it impossible for speakers to make the trip from Seattle. Meetings next week will begin Thursday at 4:00 p. m. From then on the meeting schedule will be as follows: Friday, 1:00, 4:00, 7:30; Saturday, 2:30; and Sunday, 2:30. Among the outstanding speakers invited are Mrs. Kenneth Colman, of Seattle, a leader of state Christian Endeavor work, and Mrs. J. Addison Campbell, who has lived in Korea two years and has been in active contact with the Christian missions there. -©— Miller Heads Officers .

Vienna Singers Due Wednesday Civic Music Association Gives An Opportunty To Hear Choir In Concert Normal school students will have the opportunity to hear the Vienna Choir boys sing in the Normal auditorium on Wednesday evening, January 27, at 8:15. 375 seats will be available for Normal school students. Tickets may be obtained by presenting student membership card at.the Co-op on Monday or Tuesday, January 25 and 26. The program is being given under the auspices of the Bellingham, Civic Music association. : Five hundred years a o when the members of the Vienna Choir boys were accustomed to visit the house of a feudal lord, they traveled along the Austrian highways in donkey carts. Today the representatives of that ancient and venerable institution speed along concrete highways from city to city in,a highpowered bus. Thus will the choir boys arrive in Bellingham, accompanied by Rector Schnitt, musical director Gru-ber and nurse Muhlbacher, who watches over their food and clothing. She prepares special food for the young troopers. Sports Appeal The Vienna Choir boys of today are a healthy, play-loving aggregation. They are devoted to basketball, swimming and soccer. They •love concerts, symphony performances, and chamber music, but they cannot make out the American comic sections. They prefer our American rotogravure section full of pictures of aviators, ships, and the modern" inventions in the field of transportation..-.

Regardless of restriction, where, what, when and how do under* graduates in your institution drink? 2. How closely are college regulations for drinking observed? 3. Iu what way has liquor consumption varied since repeal? 4. What has been the noticeable effect upon and reaction of the student body? 5. Are there any other ideas that you have on the subject as it applies to your institution, and have you any specific recommendation to make? Now.what shall we do? Shall we feel insulted, indignant, and disdain to answer such an impertinent question, or shall we write back and tell about Mr. Dack's weekly job of picking up empty liquor bottles from the tennis court after each rec hour? The question is open for discussion. Campi Coast to Coast Dr. McGregor, of the Teachers college in Charleston, Illinois, says: The lecture system is one whereby the notes of the instructor get into the notebook of the student without going through the heads of either. * * * * * Dr. Seymour, a faculty member of the same school, gave a "squirrel supper." It was popularly called "The Nuts Revenge." * * * * * Bird seed may be just bird seed to most people, but to the class in commercial design in Milwaukee State Teachers college it is a subject of greatest importance. The group has been designing the cover of a bird seed carton for a prominent pet food manufacturer. The student with the best design gets a prize. * * * * * Something new in the form of penalties was introduced at the University of Minnesota recently. Twelve students Were fined 15 credits for staging a pajama. parade. * * * * * "If the person who stole the alcohol from the laboratory will kindly return the cat's brains, no questions will be asked,' was the notice posted by a professor in an eastern college. • * * * * ' The University of Washington is offering a course in charm. The purpose is to teach the co-eds how to avoid, spilling cocktails on their Sunday best, and how to smoke gracefully, along with other things. * * * * * Soap sculpture is being offered in a non-credit, course in Westminster college. Well, anyway, it's all in the spirit of good clean fun. * * * * * From the De Pauw university we get the following conversation, considered typical of college folks. Senior: Wher'j' go aft' th' dans?

Witmark and Sons. Marshall W. Stearns reviews this technical translation from the French and plates it high on the bookshelf of modern music. "The publication," he says, "was no doubt hastened by the sudden popularity of 'swing music,' which term, by the way, originated in England. In case you don;t know, it is simply the creative part, distinguished by impromptu improvisations from the pseudo-symphonic (in the Gershwin manner) and the ballad (in the Tin Pan Alley tradition) as well as classical music. Mr. Panassie gives due credit to the negro for originating "hot jazz" and devotes several chapters to Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. "Caleb Catlum's America," by Vincent McHughs. A potential prospect for a Pulitzer Prize, according to Helen MacAfee, this book rates as one of the best of the late 1936 crop. Mr. McHughs has absorbed our tall tales historical, literary, and popular, and whipped them together into a rip-roaring American extravaganza of the days of Thomas Jefferson, (quasi-quoted.) For the most representative man and woman surpass in many ways; scholarship, activities, and a downright genuineness of personal good will to all whom they contact. Florence Lund and Ed Tomco were voted these honors by the student body with absolute freedom of choice, the entire enrollment being potential candidates. For'em and Aginem We do have an orchestra in this school. Did you freshmen that entered this quarter know that? I am an old student here. I know that the school supports an orchestra because they furnished the entertainment at one of the regular Friday morning assemblies last quarter. After that assembly I overheard many comments by both faculty and students to the effect that they enjoyed it very much. Immediately I began wondering why we hadn't been given the opportunity of enjoying more orchestra music. I am still wondering. Perhaps there are logical arguments against more numerous orchestra programs, but not knowing them I shall present more reasons in favor of my view. For one thing, I believe that it would save considerable money. It costs a great deal to bring some of the assembly performers to Bellingham. Then, too, the members of the orchestra put in many weary hours of practice. I think it would be some small compensation to play for an audience. It must be very tiresome —just playing, with no one to appreciate their efforts. R.R. o———— Our school paper should be the organ of the school as a whole. In these times of election, campaigning by an only paper is absolutely uncalled for. If an editorial is written concerning election, well and good, but it should bring out the good points of all the candidates and not support one man. It isn't fair to any of the nominees to have the official organ of their Alma Mater pulling for one, without mention of another. The paper may have lost as many votes for their favorite as they won. One student was heard to say, "If has the Viking behind him I guess he doesn't need my vote." Many share his feelings. D.W. Movie Review *^- The Stroller Last week's "cold story" brought this contribution from our fan mail. It was a chilly day in Skagatoon. The post-office conversation force posted the notice that read as follows: "It's not cold here. Over at Duckswampsy, the sunshine froze to the sidewalk, and it's been daylight for two weeks." In my estimation: Gracie Allen entered into The sacred realm of bards When she said a prison was Guarden of the Guards! * * * * * According to the latest report, the weather in Californa is "much more unusual than usual." * * * * * . Overheard: . . . . "he says the most idiotic things in class—and the trouble is, he's always right!" "Science students are just finding out that *a binary' is not a song from •Carmen'." . . .

Yeah, vergin' on the monotonous." * * * * * Nov shmoz ka pop? o 'S cuze M lt; Point of View Much has been written on the technical tricks and other details of production commonly used in modern motion pictures. More defects are being ironed out daily; especially since many producers have adopted a policy of paying a dollar to any person discovering a technical flaw in any picture produced. Much study and research has been expended on the problem of preserving film libraries for future generations. Newsreels and short two or three reel commentaries would have a special value in the field of history if they could be saved. Unfortunately not all of the persons in public life today who appear in our newsreels and brief features have the stage and camera presence necessary to make them appear to advantage.

Before the physical education building was erected, every student was agog over the prospects of taking a dip in the lovely tile pool that was to be. Hardly before the plaster was dried around the bricks, students were pairing plans for being the first to paddle around in the jade depths of the new tank. A few sneaked in before the official opening. Just after the grand opening everyone went swimming, but near the end of the quarter there were hardly a dozen students using the pool. The number of swimmers for recreation only has ben diminishing still more this winter quarter. Excuses Offered By asking some of the students and faculty members why they don't make use of the pool, I received some very logical and a few slightly illogical answers. The most common excuse was, "there isnt time for swimming." Another alibi received was, "I am not a good swimmer and I dont like the idea of making an ass of myself in front of the good swimmers." One plausible excuse was a case of athlete's foot. Cold weather was a predominating alibi. Faculty members seemed to have neglected their swimming previously, but have been turning out in force this week. If the students will only follow suit, 'I'm sure President Fisher won't feel that his efforts to obtain the new building were all in vain. Recreation Hours Listed Special time has been allotted for recreational hours of swimming. Wednesday afternoon and evening are reserved for the faculty only. On Monday and Thursday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:30 p. m., the girls are privileged to take their dips. The boys' recreational hours are at 4:00 on Tuesday and Friday. Regular classes are entirely independent of these reserved hours. The only obligation the swimmers are under (outside of the small fee paid at registration) is cleanliness. It is deemed only fair that everyone swimming in the pool should be considerate of the other person's health. Consequently, every student is asked to cooperate fully in the use of the pool and to pay close attention to the rules posted in both shower rooms. Propaganda Terms Are Viewed at Faculty Chat Led by Miss Rangley, an aroused group of discussionlsts enjoyed themselves last Wednesday at the regular Faculty chat wrestling with the subject, "Propaganda in Literature". The meaning and similarity of propaganda and viewpoints occupied a great deal of the conversation, with the point being stressed that propaganda is often the result of ineffectual writing which skill would change to a different meaning. It was also pointed out that, contrary to popular belief, a propagandist was not necessarily a person holding anarchistic feelings and carrying a bomb in each pocket together with much denunciatory literature, but that instead most propagandists were quite sane reformers, everyone being propagandists at some time or another. This third in the winter series of talks was attended by twenty students and teachers. The next chat will be conducted by T. V. Hunt, of the Social Science department, next Wednesday. Any ideas in regard to a suitable subject for a talk will be appreciated. Blue Triangle Show Brings Down House Bursting with success, both financial and social, the Blue Triangle show came to a roaring climax last Tuesday evening with the showing of the third chapter plus the final chapter of blood - boiling serial, "The Indians Are Coming." Although this was the feature of the evening's entertainment, other diversions were provided in the form of a full length comedy featuring "Stanislaus Laurelus," a genuine African chorus, a somewhat darkened version of the spring dance featuring prexy Tory Lund, and the THE STUDENT R E N D E V O U X SERV-U-WELL Pleasing Variety AMERICAN SHOE REPAIR 1312 Cornwall Ave. Next to ---------- Northwest Viking - 1937 January 22 - Page 4 ---------- WASHINGTON S T A T E NORMAL S C H O O L .

Editor Soukie Says— The Vikings are away this week enjoying the scenery of Oregon and tossing a few scares into the Web-foot institutions, but they'll be back Monday to meet the University of British Columbia, the team upon which comparison of the Tri-normal strength actually lies. Both Cheney and Ellensburg hold overwhelming victories over the Canadians. It's up to the Vikings to duplicate. A packed house, an enlhusasiic audience, and a game they're still talking about was Bellingham s answer to the question "Do we want more games like the one last Monday night?" Emphatically, yes! The game was enjoyed by everyone including the players. Says Nds Nelson, "Never had so much fun in my life. Wish we could play the Globetrotters every night." CPS Objects to Vikings The Sports Ray column of the Sunday Bellingham Herald lets us in on the secret why the College of Pu-get Sound Loggers broke off their football relationships with the Vikings. Coach Sandburg says the Loggers lose money when they play the Norse, also the Puget Sounders play a round-the-robin schedule and haven't time for the Normal. Though we know that the Vikings could give the Loggers all the competition they want, deep down in our. hearts we can't blame Sandburg. We wouldn't want to see a team that has a reputation of losing more games than it wins. The Normal victories last fall were not irnpressive enough to cover the black eye that past reputation has given us.

HIGHLAND CREAMERY 615 High Rounding out their busiest week of basketball this season, the Bellingham Normal Vikings .will play two more games this week, both in Oregon, one tonight and one tomorrow night. Tonight they face the Albany college five in a return game, which should be a honey, according to Coach Lappenbusch, as the Oregon-ians on thejr floor are poison to all opposing teams. Tomorrow night the Linfield College Wildcats provide the opposition for the Vikings in the McMinnville gymnasium. This game is likewise expected to be close. Next Monday night students and local fans are in for an entertaining evening, as the University of British Columbia team is coming to Bellingham to tackle the Vikings. Having practically the same squad as last year, including Willoby, a forward who proved to be flies in the Vikings' soup, the Canadians will present a strong team. Lappenbusch claims the B.C. boys have the finest sportsmanship of any team on the Norsemen's schedule. Although last season the Norsemen enjoyed a double victory over the Columbians, the Normal mentor says that by no means is the game a setup, and that a Viking victory will be well appreciated. _o Saturday Special Fresh Butler Horns 2 FOR 5c 30c DOZEN Daylight Bakery 1305 Cornwall Avenue dependent team.

Canadian Invaders Will Face Vikings UBC To Show Wares Against Tired Cagers, Monday Barely rested, after a strenuous four-game road trip through Oregon state, the Bellingham Vikings will encounter a tricky five from the University of British Columbia, Monday night in the local camp. The Canadians have already taken on the Norsemen's Tri-Normal enemies, giving them both trouble at times, but in the end being beaten out by. fairly large margins. Cheney Savages eked out a win of 37 to 27, while the highly touted Ellensburg squad snowed them under 46 to 23. Matthison Canadian Star Matthison, a speedy guard, and Brodsley, equally speedy, both will demand attention from the hard-worked Vikings. Matthison, with excellent backing from his teammates, scored 14 points in the Cheney battle. Other cagers to be watched in the international tilt are: Berry, Turner, Hudson, Henderson, Pringle, and Mitchie, all fairly speedy and possessing an accurate eye. Tri-Normal fans will watch this game with much interest, as the comparative scores will bear some light in the forthcoming championship series. Coach Charles Lappenbusch's squad is expected to display a defensive game, as much of the Viking scoring punch will have been taken out of them in their Oregon entanglements. Negoes Clown To Win Over Normal Trotters Passing and Dribbling Hand Crowd Laughs Loafing to a 38 to 27 win over Coach Chuck Lappenbusch's Normal Vikings, Sappersteins Harlem Globe Trotters put on a dazzling show of court tricks for the capacity crowd which invaded the Normal gym Monday night. The Trotters, putting oh a fine display of hoop artistry, sank shots from all over the floor and showed passing and dribbling of the best. Their seeming nonchalance and who cares attitude bothered the Vikings no little but gave the spectators many a laugh. Commanding the tipoff throughout the game the Harlemites led at half time 14 to 9, which they easily increased to the 38 to 27 final score. While the Saperstein club displayed no extraordinary shooting their floor play and passing attack was probably the best ever viewed on a local court. The crowd, which filled the temporary bleachers to overflowing, was, kept in good humor, especially in the second half as the negroes worked for laughs and forgot about baskets. They abandoned the ball hi mid-court, went into a regular football huddle while the Normal team sank a basket unopposed. A few moments later the Trotters wildly sank one for the opposition thereby, decreasing their margin of victory. During the half time recess, Bunny Leavitt, introduced as the world's free throw champion exhibited his skill. In the preliminary the Viking Manor squad proved too strong for the Normal Co-op, taking them to camp to the tune of 31 to 18. Meat Packers in Lead; Murphy Again Is High Developments along class A intramural lane for the past week, show that t h e Meat Packers came through with two wins, swamping the Buttercups, who weren't in bloom iast Friday night, 36-9, and scaring the W club out to win by forfeit, 2-0, on Tuesday evening. In the other A league game on Monday, the boys from Mrs. Barton's "beanery" beat the Daniels hall squad 23-12. The Packers' main scorer was again Ed Murphy, who started in where he left off in his previous game, and scored 14 points to lead the class for the second straight week. Dzurick followed with 6 markers. Meanwhile, the Buttercups couldn't penetrate the intricate man-to-man defense that the Packers put up. Their best marksmen were Evich (formerly of the South Siders) and Munkres, both with 3 scores. The Bartons-Daniels fracas wasn't such a walkaway for the winners, as the Daniels team put up a fight before bowing to defeat, 23-12. Davis, with 9 scores, and Carlson and Tesreau with 6 and 5 respectively, looked good for Bartons, while Smith was swishing in 6 points for the losers. Vikings Beat Canadian Adanacs in Fast Game The Adanac club, of Vancouver, B. C, former champions of Canada, threw a scare into the Viking camp in last Friday night's game in the new gym, before the Norsemen emerged victorious in a second half thriller with only a three point mar-gan, 34-31. The first half was a walkaway for the winners, who increased their advantage from a 6-0 lead to 19-3 at the end of the period. In the last stanza the Adanacs got their scoring eye, shooting baskets from all over the lower floor and the final gun was a welcome bang for the Vikings. It was the first defeat for the Canadian boys, who are now in the Vancouver Intercity league, with five straight wins. Bumstead, of the visitors, was the leading scorer of the battle, tipping' in 12 points while Carver and Reed were chalking up 8 markers apiece for the teachers.

BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1919 No. 32 I A The concert given by the Choral Club, under the directorship of Mrs. Thatcher, was a successful and well given affair. The program was varied and pleasing. The "Wynken, Blinken and Nod" quintette was es­pecially good, the four hand accom­paniment being something out of the ordfcnarjy. All the clioral n;umbe|rs were well done. Perhaps the best number of these was "One Spring Morning," toy Nevin, a gay and rol­licking little air—a true type of En­glish pastoral song. The solos were well received, and all were beauti­fully interpreted and well sung. Praise is due Mrs,, Thatcher for the time, energy and tireless work which she has expended to make this annual Choral Club concert a success. Owing to the broken first quarter the Choral Club had difficulty in get­ting a really good start, but the last two quarters, very intensive work has been done, and now the club is a very worth while organization.

No exceptions ( Continued on page 8 ) A speaker of unusual magnetism and enthusiasm is gt; Gfrace Manners Brougham. Mrs. Brougham is a sis­ter of Sir Guy Manners, the poet, and is herself a social worker. She is en­thusiastic over every idea which she presents and, although we may not agree with her in every respect we cannot but admire her convictions. Mrs. Brougham found in her travels over America that every city and hamlet was affected by the late war. She spoke of the reception accorded her at Pasco where, at the station, she was met by a veritable regiment of youngsters, each in a captured German helmet and some in Prussian officer's coats, sent back by their brothers in France. Every nation on earth, she said, passed through London on the way into the whirlwind of war. In the first American battle, at Cantigny, they fought in conjunction with French Moroccans. Nearly all of the world was united in a common cause against a common enemy. Mrs. Brougham bitterly arraigned the Bolshevists and their doctrines which are sweeping the world. She attributed these ideas as being derived from the false German psychology, which has shown itself incorrect in almost every crisis of the war. This German psychology, /she' said, was and is one of protest and sorrow, which appeals to the poorer class es­pecially. What the world needs is not sorrow and brooding, but a spirit of optimism and sanity. She showed her disgust of those like Lodge and Poindexter, who are the unbelievers, and those journalists who continually present the dark ( Continued on page S ) CALENDAR MONDAY —Camp Lewis Quar­tette.

The play itself is one of the daintiest comical romances on the American stage today, and is being repeated everywhere by schools and colleges as the current favorite. A cast fully equal to the play promises to exemplify it in the best form, as the rehearsals clearly have shown. The heavy role of Celia is being han­dled by Margaret McNaughton, in a very professional way, and proves to be one of momentary surprise for everyone. Her opposite, the leading man, Mr. Sor-enson, in the role of Colonel Vavasour, is doing his part well and balances Celia's excellence at all times. Aunt Ida, an eccentric old lady, through Hazel Beach, entertains most royally all through and is "in on" Celia's secrets though inclined to be a little hysterical at times, which causes many embarras-ing situations. Miss Beach is going to surprise everybody with her interpreta­tion of the character. Old William Faraday, the egotistical father who is very fond of smoking and the club, is handled quite ably by Will Nobles, a recently returned soldier. A very interesting sub-plot is running all through the play in which Phyllis becames engaged to Tarver, both parts being rolled by Cora Phillips and Mr. Petite. "Red" Beardsley portrays the charac­ter of Admiral Grice wonderfully well, being a gruff old friend of Mr. Fara­day's and very much at home at the Faradays. Other characters are Vradye .Trench-ard, Mrs. Rockingham, Raleigh, Martin, and Steele, played by Misses Leona Parlette, Gertrude Hodgson and Messrs. Button, Landal and Whittiker respect­ively. Everybody come and have a good laugh, because you can't help it—they are there and lots of them. There is pep from the time the curtain rises until it drops on the last speech of the play, so come on and wind the year up right. A COATS —CAPES DOLMANS Arriving Daily Very Stylish Latest Shades Priced Lower Selling Rapidly Dry Goods 1316 Bay Street Last Wednesday, after the usual pre­liminaries, the junior class took charge of the assembly hour, and treated the seniors to a delightfully illuminating program, which was composed of a junior conception of a senior class meeting, a very musical rendition of three unknown songs, one of which is a composition of the junior class, entitled, "If the Streets of Ferndale Were Paved With Doughnuts It Would Be a Holy City." Also the program included a touching little drama, of a doubtful number of acts, entitled, "The Burning Flame, or, Why Boys Leave Home." It would be rather diffi­cult for the Modern Drama class to point out the theme of this interesting little play, but as far as we can ascer­tain, the main idea was the determina­tion of Kenneth Selby to light his cigar­ette upon, a slowly moving light. Also, some roughly drawn stereopticon slides depicting several members of our worthy Seniors in various attitudes. The art of the junior class does them credit: in time they may be able to draw without having to label everything in large and crooked letters. The juniors must have worked very hard on "The Senior Class Meeting." especially upon cooperation in class yells, but they still need improving, and we would suggest that the juniors send a carefully picked committee to listen at the keyhole when the next Senior meet­ing convenes. In this manner they will learn to instil the pep into their class that they so sorely need. However, the seniors wish to thank the juniors for entertaining them in assembly, and Ave who leave the school this year expect to find a real live up and coming senior class when we come back for the alumni banquet next year. In addition to the aforementioned program, a baseball rally was held. Mr. Kobelt in charge. Mr. Kobelt made the usual plea for school spirit to be shown at Wednesday's game with Whatcom. The most satisfactory definition of "pep" we have heard this year was given at this time, by Mr. Kobelt. He said "Pep is genuine red blooded energy raised to the 'nth' power, to be kept on tap until: needed, and then let out in unlimited quantities." It is up to us to demon­strate this definition to our utmost power, and give the boys who represent our school, in sports of various kinds, the support they need in order to win. -*-., LESS THAN 50 VERY HANDSOME SILK AND WOOLEN DRESSES — BOUGHT ADVANTAGEOUSLY — WE OFFER THEM TO THE WOMEN OF BELLINGHAM AT ABOUT f 'O These becoming dresses are distinct creations of the highest order.

THE NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL BANK Bellingham, Wash. We Solicit the Normal Accounts ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1919 May 17 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1919 ,3 ALETHEIAN The annual "Kid Party" of the Aletheian Society was held in the Y. W. C. A. room last Thursday evening. Every little girl came dressed in her best, even to baby sister (Hazel Peronteau), and curls, bobbed hair and pig-tails were everywhere in evidence. When the roll was called each little girl had to respond by singing a song or speaking a piece. Everybody wanted to hold the big rag doll, so to avert a quarrel we had to start some games. We played all the Barnes of our childhood, even to the "Virginia Reel." Next came the re­freshments, most dear to childish hearts, and everything was home-made. There were dainty sandwiches of two kinds, a wonderful fruit cake with all sorts of good things mixed through it and great thick, chocolate icing on the outside; a perfect Mt. Baker of a white cake with more nuts and fruit inside: and lastly, the most delicious cocoa you ever drank, with fluffy marshmallows floating on top—oh, yes!! and one girl brought some delectable chocolate fudge. It was so hard to make up our minds to go home that we almost got locked in. Y. W. C. A. Our Y. W. meeting was held at four o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Our leader was Miss Ingerman. " Miss Hazlett, of New York, who rep­resents the Students' Volunteer Move­ment spoke to us for a few minutes. She gave us a brief but interesting ac­count of the needs of the foreign field. The war has opened up for us great opportunities. In Abyssinia, Arabia, India, China, Japan, Korea, Thibet, South America, Mexico and Africa there is need of many workers. Social workers, nurses, doctors and teachers are needed to educate and train these people to help themselves. The need is very great as thousands are being turned away because the schools have not the teach­ers or equipment to carry on the work. In many places the schools have been destroyed by the war and these will have to be rebuilt. If you cannot go, send. • Miss Hazlett spent Friday at the school in conference with those inter­ested in this work. A meeting of the cabinet girls was held on Monday evening. THESPIANS Owing to the fact the Senior Sneak took place on last Thursday, the Thes­pians held their postponed meeting this Thursday. It proved to be a very lively, enthusiastic gathering, as there was much business to transact, as the end of the year comes with the banquet to be held at the Leopold Hotel Thursday night, May 22. A short program was enjoyed by all, in which Ed Rairdon gave an interesting reading, Dorothy Jones a couple piano solos, and a reading by Margaret Mc- Naughton. The reports of committees informed all that invitations to the banquet had been sent to all Thespians, and a very original and distinctive program had been prepared for the occasion- It was also decided that next Thurs­day the Thespians would hold its last regular meeting of the school year, for which a very delightful program has been arranged. It certainly comes as a keen disa­ppointment to all not to have been able to stage the three one-act plays that had been selected for the spring Thes­pian entertainment, because of the numerous events that conflicted. It will be the endeavor of all who remain through summer school, with those com­ing in from the outside in June who are past masters- in the art of acting, to give somethinng big before August. The Thespians are handling all of the big parts in the Senior play, except Aunt Ida's and Colonel Vavasour's, half of the cast being members of this club.

The party broke up very re­luctantly Saturday evening and took the nine o'clock car for town. Everyone insisting that it was the best time they had had this year. Those who attended were : Agnes Dunn, Evangeline Ward, Florence Baker, Irene Brooks, Mildred Dawkins, Neva Peterson, May Howard, Jessie Sims, Ruth Carlyle, Emma Larson, and Mable Whitmore. OREGON CLUB At four o'clock on Wednesday after­noon, the members of the Oregon Club left the Normal steps and found their way out to Squalicum Beach. Those that could not go at that time went out later, but a lucky "thirteen" were found around the fire roasting wieners and toasting mashmallows at 6 P. M. But what makes Dorothy Zinser so hungry? We find her eating salad with a trowell which was previously used in digging clams, and how many clams got away, Mr. Patey, and why? In his spare moments Mr. Patey was kept busy taking snapshots, for the club is full of antics when the sand is underneath their feet. Mr. Best has invented a new way of roasting "wee­nies." We are sure that lie is willing to sell the patent if applied for in person. Mr. Kibbe was seen going up Eldridge avenue with a loaf of bread under one arm and a box of graham crackers un­der the other, but what became of the crackers? Ask the Misses Dale, Geb-hardt and Zinser. We surely had a good time and with the forethought of our president, Lulu Foster, we arrived safely at our individual homes in due time, thanks to Lulu, so altogether let us say, "Let's do it some mo' ! " RAH! THE ALKISIAHS! The Alkisiahs have nave not been sleeping during this lovely weather. Last Thursday everybody in the club donned their hiking clothes and fixed up their share of the '"eats" and started out for "Dead Man's Point." We built Avo camp-fires and over the glowing coals we boiled coffee and—get ready for the big news—we fried potatoes and bacon! For a table we used an old door that had been washed up on the beach. We filled it to overflowing with tempting edibles. The girls were in best, of spirits when they left the little camp fire scene and went home with memories of ukelele music and a happy time to­gether, and to plan on the next meeting which 'was to be at Miss Mobray's cot­tage on Lake Whatcom. Then came that night. Oh! what fun! Right here let's give three cheers for Miss Mobray and Miss Tompkins for that wonderful time they gave us. We took the Lake Whatcom car out and arrived at an early hour. We couldn't go near the water, but we enjoyed it nevertheless. About 7:00 we heard somethinng about a big din­ner. To welcome this idea, we gathered around the fireplace, with the shadows playing on our faces, Avhile the plates were coming. This is what we had: creamed potatoes, meat loaf, beet relish, Parker house rolls and strawberry short­cake with whipped cream, coffee. When everybody was satisfied we picked up our dishes and put more wood on the fire and sat back and sang songs to the accompaniment of the ukies. We sang our new. club songs and many fireside favorites. Father and Mother Tremble, two of the most charming old people this side of heaven, came in and added to our fun. They sang for us "Silver Threads Among the Gold," and other dear old songs, until every girl in the room had forgotten everything but -v singers. We cheered them, didn't we girls? And when they departed for their cottage, they told us that they were going to have us come over to their place in the near future. We are going to look forward with enthusiasm to that occasion. We stayed until the clock struck the hour of ten, and, then, after signing the guest book, we bade our hostesses a fond farewell. The Red Headed Girls' Club was en­tertained at the cottage with the Alki­siahs. They are a peppy bunch all right, true to their colors—blue, white, —and red. The two clubs were very con­genial all evening, even when we sang our songs and gave our yells. Not one clash, excepting the time that Nora Schane happened to sit beside Vernie Johnson and Carrie Stacey. Nora had on her red flannel middy! We hope that both clubs may have another well-spent evening like this. Watch the bul­letin board. Mrs. Erickson will enter­tain us Wednesday evening. We will tell about that later. Goodby for this time.

Here's hoping the sun will shine bright and that every member of the school will show true school spirit and go on this picnic. School spirit is that spirit which means to a student loyalty to his school, and an interest in an event such as the annual school picnic. —A. F. STUDENTS! Do you realize that the 1019 Klipsun will be the best investment that you can ever make ? Every student in school should own a copy, which will grow more dear to him the longer he possesses it. REMEMBER, the Klipsun is a diary of our Alma Mater for past year, and the nominal price asked for it will return tenfold dividends of enjoyment and pleasure. LEST WE FORGET! Before we realize it the time will be here when a great many of us, perhaps the most of us, will be leav­ing B. S. N. S., some to return in the fall or later, some never to return. Be that, however, as it may, are we going out with our hammers raised ready to knock, or are we going to boost the Bellingham Normal School? The high school graduating classes in our home towns will be asking us questions. Are we going to tell them, "Yes, come," and tell them all the good things, or are we going to dwell on a few little things that failed to please us. - These little things, if there are any, may n' it annoy them, or by next year they may be removed. When boosting for B. S. N. S., by all means mention the beautiful loca­tion, and the kind, considerate facul­ty. Tell the prospective students not to come up here with the idea that everything they are going to get will be from books. Our assemblies three times a week and the Lyceum Thea­tre Course will give them both pleas­ure and knowledge, and are splendid opportunities for enlightenment. Be sure that you tell them of the many speakers of wide reputation who have spoken from our assembly platform this year. If you have considered it worth your Avhile to spend a year or two years in this institution, make others be­lieve it is worth their while. You can hardly expect to interest others in your school if you yourself are not interested. —C. B. There are several students in school who are getting into the habit of bor- Jrowing books from their instructors' dssks without receiving permission from their teachers beforehand. Said teachers are getting very wrathy about it. and well they might, for many of the books borrowed are not returned, and the owners have to go to the trouble to buy new ones. Oftentimes a student helps himself to a book which the teacher happens to need at just that time and, —well, the result is a bad temper on the part of the teacher for the rest of the day. Hereafter, students, be careful how you borrow. , INTERESTING RELIC It may not be generally known that the first Normal school in the state was opened at Lynden, Whatcom County, and that we have in the present Normal a single piece of property of the old Lynden school. It is a plaster cast of Venus now in the art department. This should be placed in a safe place and labeled by the committee who has such matters in charge. The cast of Venus came to us through Mr. Lemach, the head engineer, who saved the cast and presented it to the school. COMMENTS The literary page of last week's issue of the Mesenger should prove of value to all our readers. The article explain­ing the origin of Easter is especially in­structive. Everyone appreciates a good laugh. Jot down the funny things that happen in classrooms or elsewhere and turn them into the Messenger box. They help to liven up the paper. ORDER YOUR KLIPSUN This year's Klipsun promises to be one of the finest chronicles of school ac­tivities and events the Normal has ever put out. Most of the material has been set up in type, and though many of the cuts have been delayed, it is hoped that the attractive cloth bound copies of the 1919 issue of the Annual will be ready NEWTONS, INC., Successors A MAYTIME SELLING OF DOLMANS AND CAPES 20 PER CENT OFF In keeping with our policy, these stocks are beinsf cleared this month. for distribution before the end of the quarter. Those who wish copies of the Klipsun are asked to get their orders in as soon as possible. They will be $1.50 each, and are to be paid for when delivered. Much credit is due Miss Margaret Mc- Xaughton, the editor-in-chief, and her staff of assistants for their untiring efforts in making the Annual a success. Mr. Harry Sorenson deserves special mention for his splendid work as busi­ness manager. ATHLETICS Normal again broke into the win column by defeating the fast Bur­lington High School baseball team by a large score. Burlington came to town with a reputation of being the best in Skagit county, but they proved to be easy for the Normalites. Nor­mal was out with the big stick Satur­day, and pounded the offering of Nor-ris. Burlington pitcher, to all cor­ners of the lot. Burlington proved to be fairly good at the hitting end of the game hut were woefully weak in the fielding and base running. Brewer started the game for the Normal but retired' in the fifth in order to give Smith a chance to lim­ber up. Both men pitched good ball. The Normal as usual made several errors, due to the fact that no practice was had for several days prior to the game. Girl (dreamily): "Does the moon affect the tide?" He: "No, only the untied."

PHILOMATHEAN Though confronted by a dismal weatherman, the Normal's choicest set out, last Friday, to break all week end records. Many an admiring glance followed them as the Pliilos boarded a car to be swept away to Lake Whatcom. After 1 liking over the Geneva trail. they fin­ally hove to at Kirkpatrick's cottage. The latter, as usual, assured the girls a pleasant abode and the sterner sex elected to live in a wigwam. Leaving the fair ones to prepare the calf the boys proceeded with much ceremony to erect their home and then padded it well with fur boughs, just as they do in the story book. • After gloating over the work ,for hours, they unwillingly tore themselves away to quell their appetites, under the direction of our ••Hoover" Oliver. Then, gathering around a roaring cam])-fire, we told stories and agonized on ditties until even Dorothy Beach had exhausted her repertoire. After a long, lingering look at the fire—the boys especially—we adjourned to our "sleeping" quarters. Those who have had week end experiences know that we slept soundly until morning—I don't think! Being of the other variety the writer can only guess at how the girls spent the night but we know that there are warmer places than a tent to sleep in. Fir boughs aren't what they're cracked up to be and would be impossible to any but a Philo Normalite. Still, after forci" bly gagging Roswell, we managed to dose until awakened by the tramping of the latter over our corpses at about 4 A. M. We decided to roll out with him so as to save as much daylight as pos­sible for the week end. The only corn-plaint made was by Kenneth, who claimed he couldn't get all of him inside the tent. It must have been a pleasant sight for the night prowlers to glimpse the moon rising over the rim of the hitter's feet. Bugge and Broadbent choose to ram­ble into town with Selby in his "Henry" and get a pre-breakfast at Jack Martins. While on the way back they ate a sec­ond meal at Kenneth's home and arrived in camp just in time for breakfast. Great concern was expressed for their health when they devoured their sixth pan­cake. Evidently caught napping the .weather man allowed us a Saturday of sunshine, and we" made the most of it. Boats were secured and soon there was a great stir on our drinking water. Ex­cursions were hazarded to the sight of the late club house and weird sounds drawn out of the dilapidated piano there. We were shot in every conceivable pose by our numerous camera devotees. Philo life in the afternoon was cen­tered in baseball games. Exciting series were held between the '-Seals," the '•Shanks" and what not until the camp was in a turmoil. Elwyn Bugge, the doughty umpire, was nearly mobbed over one decision. Ty Cobb may be pretty good but it is extremely lucky for him that Mr. Philippi chose to teach school. KEMPHAUS C CO.

Lunches French Pastries PALLAS Confectionery Ice Cream THE BELLINGHAM NATIONAL BANK Capital and Surplus $475,000.00 Another revelation at the week-end was the number of checker fiends our club can boast. At almost any moment during the day could be heard the dia­bolical chuckle of Bugge as he cornered some hapless opponent. Saturday evening was the occasion for a program. Gathering together the Philo hoys drew repeated appaluse for their rendering of "Silver Threads Among the Cold." Then followed delightful recita­tions by Sorenson and Selby, a strong men's act, a bear story by Kobelt, and cornet solos by an old Philo, Willard Yerkes. When the girls were called upon for a program they responded with a taffy pull which would have surely been en­cored but for the iron hand of '•Hoover." Gathering around the fire we listened to the harangue of Sorenson who suc­cessfully auctioned off several things, among them a piece of beautiful statu­ary. Saturday nighi it poured! Forsaking their tent nearly all the boys fled to the kitchen where they muttered un­printable adjectives about the weather. Blissfully unaware of their predicament, Wynne, Mr. Philippi and Broadbent slept peacefully all night in a pool of water. The rain ceasing, Sunday was spent enjoyably boat riding and ball playing until all too soon we were forced to hie back to Bell high am. /• THE BEST PLACE TO BUY DRUGS GOOD FOOD EXCELLENT SERVICE REASONABLE PRICES \sa/e *-SVicAelleu WALTER S.

Miss Hope Mowbray and Miss Helen Tompkins entertained the Alkasiahs and the Red Headed Girls' Club, Friday night, the 10th, at their cottage out at the lake. Dr. G. W. Nash, president of the school, was instrumental last week in getting an increase in salaries for the Portland teachers, for during the closing hours of thje campaign he spoke three or four times advising the people to vote for the increase, which they did. Professor Bond, on Saturday, May 10th, attended a directors teachers meeting on Camano Island, and made sn address. The meeting was in ses­sion from 10:30 to 4:30. The theme of this meeting was to keep teachers another year. On the same program were seven former students of the Normal, all teachers. Miss Myrtle Funkhouser. assistant librarian, has obtained a year's leave of absence. She will enter the U. of W. next fall as a junior and will at the same time take up library work there. Dr. Herre went to Friday Harbor yesterday and delivered a commence­ment address at the high school there. He substituted for Mr. Bond, who went on the school excursion this morning. Doris Smith, formerly connected with the Expression department of this school, and who, during the jjast three years has been on the stage, both in vaude­ville and in New York repertoire com­panies, is now located in the Nebraska State Normal at iKearney, where she is head of the expression department. Mrs. Smith is a brilliant reader and actress, and has great artistic ability as a praducer. She has made a big repu­tation in the middle west during the past year. At present she is beginning an elabo­rate production of G. B. Shaw's "The Devil's Desciple." Private Vernon Broadbent, late of the S. A. T. C, wishes to announce that he has a bookcase for sale. He made a slight mistake in getting the doors on the back but otherwise the article is a fair piece of workmanship. (The piece of furniture is now on ex­hibition at the Manual Training Shop.) BIG SUMMER SESSION Judging from the great number of letters received by the cirriculum com­mittee from 'prospective students, the Bellingham Normal is destined this year to receive the largest sum­mer school enrollment in the history of the institution. When we consider that the school now has an enrollment of about 400, and that the -record was nearly 1200, we can readily understand that the B. S. N. S. is about to make one big i stride ahead. \ Stop at the if fltrl (Efllmttbta S. SUTOR SON, Prop.

Last Friday in assembly Miss Haz-litt, a representative of the Volunteer Missions Society, spoke for the vol­unteer movement among students in colleges and universities throughout this country. Many volunteers are required for the carrying on of this work in the many different countries where the Christian religion is taught. In Turkey there are many volunteers, also in China, Korea and Japan. But the field is open for many more teach­ers to carry on the work, and all those students who are interested in the work are asked to seek further in­formation regarding it. There is an urgent call for teachers to take up this work, and the work is new and in­teresting. Another feature of Friday's assem­bly was a spirited yell rally, led by Mr. Kobelt. If as much interest is displayed the coming summer term as is being shown now, school spirit will yet be much in evidence in the Normal. TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES The first four grades made their first appearance of the year at the regular Assembly on the morning of the seventh. Grades 1 and 2 Maypole Dance Grades 3 and 4 Indian Dance Owing to the broken year very little time was spent in preparation but that did not detract from the joy of the par­ticipants. A happy feature of the pro­gram was the fact that all children present at all classes were allowed to appear on the platform. The children seemed to think that it was well worth while and also felt that they were a part of the whole.

HECKMAN TELLS OF INSPECTION TOUR ( Continued from page 1 ) ing students for the positions into which they will go. The influenza interfered with my plans for it was during the fall or winter months that I had hoped to take this trip. The school year was drawing nearer and nearer to a close, and so through the kindness of President Nash I was permitted . to take several days off from my work not long ago that I might visit schools. My first stop was at Seattle,, where I visited several grade centers. In some of these centers I saw some very inter­esting things, interesting not in the projects made but in the organization of the class work. In most of the large centers the work in the upper grades is carried on on the prevocational plan. Each center has a wood lathe, a metal lathe, a forge outfit, a tin-smithing out­fit and several wood-working machines. In the eighth grade each hoy is given an opportunity to work several weeks at each one of these machines learning the rudaments of a vocation in order to help him decide to some extent at least what he may or may not want to do after he leaves the eighth grade. In addition to the shop work each boy takes a year or two of mechanical drawing. One interesting feature of the organiza­tion is that nearly all these centers arc following regular commercial shop meth­ods, having a superintendent, a foreman, a timekeeper, etc. After a boy graduates from the eighth grade he may enter the hige school as a student in the regular course, or if he is fourteen years of age he may enter the Smith-Hughes vocational classes. The vocational work is very interesting in­deed, but since it does not touch our students directly I gave most of my time to visiting grade centers. From Seattle I went to Tacoma, then to Everett. In Tacoma I visited the Stadium High School and several grade centers. In both cities I found the work carried on in about the same way as at Seattle, although I will frankly say that I saw the best organization in one or two of the Seattle schools. I learned one important fact, however, in each of these cities, and that is that there is a scar­city of manual training teachers. Some of the schools were without a teacher much of the time or were closed entirely, while others were in charge of shop men who were not especially prepared to teach. The less creditable things, there­fore, that I saw can in some cases be traced back to this state of affairs. From Everett I went to Snohomish to visit the Smith-Hughes school in con­nection with the high school. I was very favorably impressed with what I saw there, both as to quality of work and as to unique organization. Regular work in the grades is carried on here as well as the vocational work. The de­partment is still far from being com­plete in its organization but has a fine start. • I learned this very important and, to those of us interested in manual train­ing, encouraging fact through talking with teachers and superintendents that not only is there a scarcity of manual training teachers at present but that there will be a greater demand in the near future because the taching will be devoted more largely to prevocational rather than vocational subjects with boys from fourteen to sixteen years of age, and that this teaching will be done by school trained men in the vocational subjects rather than by shop men, ex­perts in one. line, with very little teach­ing training. With such an outlook for manual training in the future, and with teachers' salaries being raised all over the country it should interest young men to prepare themselves to teach in the Industrial Arts. —M W.

Lights were immediately switched off and the women, surround­ed by tons of TNT, which a bomb might instantly explode, were in dan­ger of panic. They stuck to their posts, however, when one of their number cried, "Now I am nearer to my son than ever, for I am under fire as he is. What would he sing now ':" Inunediatly all of the wom­en began to sing "Keep the Home Fires Burning,"and panic was averted. Dr. James Clement Reid, Pacific Secretary of the Inter-Church World Movement, gave us an encouraging prospect of veligiouis cooperation. He appealed to us who will become teachers, that we should spread the doctrine of inter-religious and inter­racial solidiarity. Out of 173 college men, he declared, at. least one will | attain to national honor and influence. Therefore much real advancement will depend on these students. He spoke of the coming closer re­lationship between the Jewish, Cath­olic and Protestant religions, for this movement involves the following ac­tion: First a survey of foreign and domestic fields; second, an analysis of needs cf these fields; third, the £or-mulating of a budget and a call for money and men. These latter mes­sengers of humanity will be largely recruited from college students. There is too much competition in religious fields now, said Dr. Reid. He contrasted fields where six or seven churches are trying to exist with the county in Idaho which is as large as the state of New Jersey and is served by only one minister. Such extremes as these should be adjusted, and will be, according to the plan of the InterfCfturch Moiverrjent. Surely, said Dr. Reid, if'nations can lay aside their weapons then relig­ious men, who are desciples of the Prince of Peace, can cease their quibbling and unite. Howard E. Pratt, song leader in the Western army camps, led us in song for about ten minutes. Following his-active leadership we sang "Keep the Home Fires Burning," " S m i l e s ," "Long, Long Trail," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and " K a t i e . " Mr. Fjratt gave parodies on "Smiles," "Over There," "Long Boy," and "Katie." Here is the parody on the last named: "C-C-C-Cootie! Horrible Cootie You're the only b-b-bug that I abhor! When the m-m-moon shines Over the bunkhouse, I'll be scratching my b-b-back until ' it's sore." Mrs. Brougham, Dr. Reid and Mr. Pratt were at the Liberty Hall Forum Sunday night, and we are again grate­ful to Rev. Marshall, director of that furum, for their presence there.

Charles and Diana officiallyopened the fair, beginning the five-and-a-half-month exposition. Whitlock drops out, endorses opponentBy Lori Robinson •staffreporter Associated Students presidential candidate Daniel Whi-' tlock haswithdrawn his name from the election ballot and is endorsing Terri Echelbarger for president. Whitlockwithdrew his name Friday, after the Inter-hall Council endorsed Echelbarger for president at its Thursday meeting. Whitlock, a Fairhaven resident adviser, said his campaign had been planned around theidea of getting the IHC endorsement. After the endorsements were decided, Whitlock said it wasobvious he couldn't win the campaign if his own constituents (residence halls) weren't supporting him."Students need the most qualified candidate, therefore I'm withdrawing from the race, and I'm endorsingTerri Echelbarger for president," Whitlock said. "I'm not the best candidate." Echelbarger, uponhearing of Whitlock's decision, said, "I'm really surprised; I have a lot of respect for him. That's a hardthing to do." She said she hopes Whitlock will stay involved with the AS, because he emphasized anissue she believes needs to be explored. "Working with the residence halls is a positive idea,"Echelbarger said. De Ann Pullar agreed the residence halls should have a large impact on theactivities planned on campus, but she said most people in the halls know what's going on around theschool. Her goal is to get off-campus students more involved. Pullar had counted on a runoff withEchelbarger, so Whitlock's withdrawal has prompted her to reschedule her campaign. "It will shortenthe process," Pullar said, "we'll find the final results faster this way." Echelbarger agrees the electionwill be wrapped up quickly. "There's no possibility of a run-off, there will be a clear winner," she said.Pullar said Whitlock's endorsement of Echelbarger may hurt her in the election, but whomever heendorses is "his prerogative." #7 campaign questioned By Lori Robinson staff reporter An open meeting of the Associated Students Election Board was conducted yesterday to discuss a complaint madeby Bill Freeberg, candidate for position 7, director-at-large, University Services Council. Darrell Cox,chair of the Election Board, called the hearing in response to Freeberg's complaint against TrentWheatley, also a candidate for position 7. Freeberg believes Wheatley has produced false qualifications for the position during his campaign, saying he has served an internship for the job with MichaelJames, the current director-at-large. 'Trent has been misrepresenting himself," Freeberg said abouthis use of the term internship. Freeberg said an internship isn't available for the position, and the use ofthe word is misleading. "In my opinion I don't think he can make that claim," Freeberg said. "Yes, hehas been working with Michael James, I acknowledge that," he said, but he believes the work doesn'tqualify as an internship, and reference to it should be placed in perspective of the role. Wheatley saidhe never said he had served an internship, but said he has used the term "internship-like role" during his campaign. "I really don't think I have misrepresented myself," Wheatley said, but he acknowledged,"(Internship) may not have been a good choice of words." James and Wheatley are roommates."Michael was bringing his work home," Wheatley said, and the discussions he and James had about the meetings James attended are what created Whea-tley's interest in the position. "I had the interest, Iwanted to learn more," Wheatley said, so he began asking questions and adding input to the issues hehad become familiar with, as a "general student, but a little more." Wheatley said his interaction withJames, as well as the knowledge he received, was the basis for the term "internship-like role," and hewished the phrase hadn't been taken wrong. Freeberg said Wheatley's experience should have beenrepresented for what it was, training from the current director-at-large. "I got training from different people on the board," Freeberg said, but he added he didn't use the informal experience to boost his owncampaign. Also scheduled for discussion at the meeting was a complaint by Freeberg concerning thevandalism of many of his campaign posters around the campus. "Someone came out andselectively tore down 85 to 90 percent of my posters," Freeberg said, complaining not only about hisposters, but of those for other candidates that have been vandalized. Freeberg said the posters may beannoying, but they are necessary for a campaign on campus. "They are eyesores, I can see whystudents would want to tear them down," he said, but he believes the posters are the only way thecandidates can make themselves known to the students. Freeberg said he filed the complaint to makea general statement about the problem, adding the posters do serve a purpose, and it's not fair toanyone when the posters are torn down or vandalized. Wheatley filed a complaint about the vandalization of his election posters as well. The Election Board hearing was held to determine if any of the ASelection by-laws were violated. The board listens to the complaint, allows for a response by thecandidate and witnesses and then evaluates if they should take disciplinary action. Results of themeeting were not available by press time. ---------- Western Front - 1986 May 6 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1986 Campus Cops A Western student, allegedly trying tosell marijuana and cocaine to an undercover University Police officer, was arrested April 29 in his dorm room.

Terri Echelbarger, a two-yearveteran to the AS Board, was endorsed by IHC for position #1, president. The candidate endorsed forpostion #2, vice president for Internal Affairs, was Stephanie Lourie, who is running unopposed for theposition. Michael James, seeking reelection to the AS Board, was endorsed for positon #3, vicepresident for Academic Affairs. Dan Wood, who is running for position #4, vice president for ExternalAffairs, won IHC's endorsement. The candidate endorsed for position #5, vice president for Activities,was Brent Arndt. Todd Isakson, also running unopposed, was endorsed for position #6,secretary/treasurer. The candidate endorsed for position #7, director-at-large, University ServicesCouncil, was Pat Keane. For position #8, director-at-large, Communications, Jeff Chandler wasendorsed. The candidate endorsed for position #9, director-at-large, University Residences, was Lis-beth Gordon. Six referendums are on the ballot this year. The purpose of these referendums is for the ASBoard to find out what the students think about certain issues. Of the six referendums, IHC chose toendorse only the first three. Referendum #1 states students should assess themselves a fee not toexceed $9 per quarter, beginning on or after fall quarter 1987, which will go to funding a major renovationof the Viking Union complex. Referendum #2 asks students if the AS Board should recommend toWestern administrators and the Board of Trustees to reinstate the administrative position of Dean ofStudents. In referendum #3, students are asked if Article V, Section 6 of the AS By-Laws should berevised. This article has to do with vacancies on the board and how they are filled. IHC supported thereferendum, which states the following: Notice of such vacancies shall be advertised in the WesternFront, and the President shall wait at least five working days after such notice before making suchappointments. Referendum #3 would insure that if a vacancy does arise on the AS Board all candidateswould receive equal consideration for the position being filled. At its meeting IHC also elected KellyJensen to serve as the vice-president of IHC next year. She currently is the council's treasurer.Trusteesjww By Brian Malvey staff reporter The Washington Public Interest Research Group is asking students to reapprove its fee-collection contract, but it is uncertain just how much weight studentopinion will carry with Western's Board of Trustees. WashPIRG, a student-run, consumer andenvironmental research organization, needs a majority of yes votes on referendum #4 in theAssociated Students elections today and tomorrow, to reinstate its contract with the trustees. Thecontract, assessing a w.aivable $2 fee on students each quarter, was suspended for spring quarterafter^WashPIRG failed its miniriiurri contribution clause. Students choosing to waive the feeexceeded 50 percent fall and winter quarters. But new guidelines on access to the student fee-collection system that would prohibit waivable fees have been drafted and sent to the trustees. The proposedpolicy, drafted by a trustee sub-committee of Trustee Craig Cole, President G. Robert Ross and ASPresident Jeff Doyle, instead asks that fees be contributed by checking an appropriate box onstudents fee-billing cards during registration. The waivable fee automatically assesses a studentunless a box is .:•; checked;. '•;; Cole: said the trustees would decide on the proposed policy andwhether that policy would affect the two groups; that already have waivable fee;cori^- tracts, WashPIRGand the Washington Student Lobby- But Cole said he prefers a uniform policy to coyer all off-campusgroups who want access to the fee-billing system. Cole said the trustees would take student vote on the WashPIRG referendum :into consideration, but the vote would riot determine trustee policy. He said the trustees, not students, are responsible for governing Western and the use of the fee-collection systemby off-campus groups. Ross said the draft was sent to the trustees in March and would be broughtbefore the group in June. Cole said he isn't certain if the trustees will establish a new policy then, but he said he hoped action could be taken soon. Doyle," however, said the committee had met only once, inMarch, and that he had viewed the committee's draft as incomplete. Doyle said he disagreed withRoss and Cole over the waivable fee prohibition. Ross and Cole said the subcommittee could bereconvened before the June meeting, if Doyle wanted. But Cole said Doyle's opposition to thewaivable-fee prohibition does not mean the draft would be changed. Doyle admitted he is outnumbered on the committee, and trustees he has talked to oppose waivable fees. He said the trustees have theultimate authority for governing Western and can prohibit waivable fees for off-campus groups even ifstudents support fees for such groups. Doyle said the important issue is the right of students to assess themselves fees. He said although the waivable fee may not be appropriate in all cases-;- it has somemerit and should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Decision delayed by absent USC membersBy Keven Graves staff reporter The University Services Council had to postpone its decision onguidelines for a Service and Activities Committee because not enough members showed up at itsmeeting Friday. At least five of the nine voting USC committee members must be in attendance to make the committe's decisions official. Four attended Friday's meeting. Not present were Yvonne Ward,Doug Holmstrom, Anne Heaps, Carol Salisbury and Dave Simmons. Before the meeting, councilchairman Michael James was confident the S A guidelines would be passed quickly. The proposal still will go to the Board of Trustees for review, James said, "but it is not official." Western Front BusinessManager NEEDED: WESTERN FRONT BUSINESS MANAGER for 86-87 academic year.

Absent council members were accusedof lacking dedication by James after a majority failed to attend the meeting Friday. "It makes me upsetthat one of the more important councils on campus has such a difficult time meeting because of a lackof dedication," James said. "Because of that we could not make the referendum official." James saidthe absence of Carol Salisbury, of the Administrators Association showed a "grave lack ofresponsibility."At the April 25 USC meeting, he said, Salisbury requested more time to review theproposal before a vote was taken. "We waited a whole week for her." "It would have been better if Carolwould have been here to address her concerns," James said. If Salisbury knew she couldn't attend themeeting, James said, she should have sent a proxy to the meeting. Salisbury said, "They knew for twoweeks that. I wouldn't be there,"and said she didn't believe she had the "capability" to send a proxy."The issue (of sending proxies) came up at a previous meeting and I understood it wasn't allowed," shesaid. Because the meeting was not official it was called "an informal gathering" by James. The four USC members present made "informal recommendations"for minor changes in the guidelines. "I think theguidelines turned out exceptionally well," said USC member Joan Sherwood, vice president for StudentAffairs. "One thing I am happy about," James said, "is this meeting was non-hostile. It (guidelinesproposal) has concensus from the USC and members of the board." Writing exam tests studentsMore than 500 students will put their writing prowess to a test this week. The Junior Writing Exam is aprerequisite that must be met before a student may enroll in a writing-intensive course. All studentsentering Western in fall 1983 or thereafter are required to complete a writing-intensive course beforegraduation. "All these students must pass an upper-level writing-intensive course," Writing CenterDirector Barbara Sylvestor said.

The first is an objectivetest covering spelling, mechanics, punctuation, grammar and usage. The second is a short writingexercise. "Instructors of writing-intensive courses assume that students already have anunderstanding of grammar and punctuation—they'll be penalized for not knowing," ExpositoryWriting Committee member Rich Fonda said. Students may sign up to take the exam during registration or at the Testing Center in Old Main. The two-hour exam is given each quarter and must be taken aftercompleting 90 credits. Students who receive unsatisfactory scores on the exam are asked to take aclass in writing skills or are referred to the Writing Center for tutorial help. They are not required totake the exam again, but students must present a course grade or a report from the Writing Center tothe instructor of the writing-intensive course before they will be admitted. ---------- Western Front - 1986 May 6 - Page 4 ---------- 4 WESTERN FRONT Opinion TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1986 Frontline Forget the posters read the messageYou are walking to class wishing the weekend would arrive, and all around you are posters. They come invarious shapes, sizes and colors. Each bears a different message, and each uses a different method topush that message. You question the need for the graffiti littering our campus. Why should.you*Vote forany of those people? Before you rip down that poster or flyer please consider the message all of themshare: Vote. You've heard it before. Voting is your civic duty. But think about what might happen if youdon't vote. A candidate you didn't want to hold office wins by a narrow margin. Now you are left tocomplain the entire school year about his or her policies, decisions and anything else with which youdisagree. Or suppose a referendum you thought was very good and necessary for the welfare of studentsis defeated narrowly. You are left to wonder if your vote would have made a difference. Don't waste yourtime wondering. Take the time to learn about the people who want to represent you. And don't forgetabout the referendums. We may not see as much advertising about them but they are just as important.Do you want to pay additional fees to fund a renovation of the Viking Union? Do you want university policeto carry handguns? Think about it. So forget about ripping down the posters. That is theresponsibility of the candidates. Instead, heed the message given by all of them. Vote today. Pay your tuition in three small doses Recall.the days when the doctor gave you a shot, then soothed your pain,with a lollipop,? Western's Board of Trustees gave students a lollipop Thursday when they approved anadvanced tuition installment program. Now students can pay their tuition in three portions one quarter inadvance. That means, for example, fall tuition can be paid during July, August and September. Spreadingthe expense over three months is easier on the bank account than one $400 excavation. The newoptional policy is a good idea and may even keep some students from dropping out of school becausethey can't afford it. People can work during school and pay their tuition gradually, rather than drag a debtthrough the rest of the quarter. Small doses of poverty between paychecks are more bearable than beingin debt for nine weeks. The trustees'action does soothe the pain of increasing tuition costs.Unfortunately, jt took them a year to administer the medicine. Associated Students President Jeff Doylesuccessfully lobbied in Olympia for the installment program bill, which was passed by the legislature in 1985. Western administrators were "dragging their feet" on the issue, Doyle said, so he made theadvance tuition installment plan a referendum on last year's AS elections ballot. Students favored thepayment option, but still the administrators didn't act. It's about time they heard our cries and passed out the lollipops.

As of yet,few valid arguments have been presented to try proving military retaliation is not an answer toterrorism. Usually, those trying to argue the point talk a lot about words. They say things like "anotherVietnam" or "baby killers." Saigon fell only 11 years ago, and 1 hope if we didn't learn anything elsethat we learned from the conflict war is wrong. But that war has paralyzed the United States into notreacting to any attack against Americans. It would be a foolish waste of lives to become involved in aconflict that would lead to another Vietnam-like war, but it is equally foolish, to the point of hysteria, tothink every Grenada or Libya will turn into that. It is just as foolish to avoid The good guys conflict on the argument that innocent people will be killed, as the Libyan government reported happened in the U.S.bombing last month. In this case, terrorism and counterterrorism are a little like professional wrestling, in a twisted way. The match begins with the "good guy" winning by making clean moves andtakedowns. Re plays by the rules until the "bad guy" throws salt in his eyes or puts on an illegalchokehold. Now the rulebook is gone, and the good guy can do anything he must to win. Usually it's aflying body press or the dreaded figure-four leglock that ends the match. A bit ridiculous, but the pointshould be taken that the rules can be followed only for so long. Not that we should condoneindiscriminate bombing of Palestinian refugee camps in southern Lebanon. Nor should we toleratethe random murder of American tourists in European airports and restaurants. The best argument I'veheard is that all conflicts are Sylvester Stallone's fault for starring in the movie "Rambo." It's all clearnow. Of course the U.S. government's policies are just movie scripts from old cowboy and war movies. That is the most ridiculous comment I've heard coming from the utterly idiotic so far. Those surrounding President Reagan, including the U.S. Congress, aren't so stupid as to let him take the Arab worldconflict any further than the "I'll stop if you stop" policy. Our government isn't so stupid that it didn'tlearn something from Vietnam. The only stupid ones are those who think we didn't. Promoting peace forprofits Now that the dust has cleared we hear a lot of crowing about the successful attack on this"mad dog" Khadaffi. America can get away with it. We're bigger and stronger than Libya. And after all,as Lenin once said, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. A lot of people in the world wouldlike to think we've come a little further than that. They all thought we learned something about the futilityof fighting for peace in Vietnam. It seems they're wrong. We hear all the reasons why the attack wasjustified. Why we need to show a firm hand in response to terrorism. But never do we hear much aboutthe United States' role in all this violence. Just what is it we're doing over there that makes us thetarget of their ire? It seems the image the government would like to put •forth is one of the U.S. as the good guy, in a big white hat, just trying to help, innocent of any guile. The only reason anyone couldpossibly be mad at us is because we're trying to be friends to everyone, including Israel. AHA. That's it.We're friends with Israel. Good, we can blame it on the Jews. That way we won't have to talk about howbig American corporations are exploiting underdeveloped African countries. (Such as the oilcompanies in Libya.) One wonders what else the United States is up to in the Middle East that we don't ever hear about. You see, unlike the government, corporations are under no obligation to disclose theirdealings to the American public. A corporation only is accountable to its stockholders. I'm sure Reaganwants to keep it that way- It is just too hard to believe that the United States is in the Middle East topromote peace. Even Americans can't be so naive as to think they can create peace in an area that hasnever known peace.in its history. It is harder yet to believe that we are trying to promote peace in thisvolatile area by bombing Libya. That is not a peaceful gesture. No. We are not after peace; we are afterprofit. If we want peace we must stop exploiting the less powerful in the world. We won't get it bythreats and violence. ---------- Western Front - 1986 May 6 - Page 5 ---------- TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 5 HHHHH Mighty Front is a crock of. . . Western Front:This letter is in response to your somewhat, shall we say, arrogant rebuke from no-high of the SFFC'shandling of Viking Con. While it is perhaps the solemn duty of The Front to blather from Mt. Olympusnow and again about the varied injustices and excesses of the assorted groups you have .a vendettaagainst, it is, I suppose, the responsibility of your readership, the Mass Body Collective under yourtutelage, to write in every now and again and tell you what assholes you are. First, let us put our cardson the table, shall we? The Front editorial board is still obviously steamed over the blatantly callousand mercenary SFFC "Rake-the-Bucks" porno film revival last quarter. Obviously, because you mentionthe incident once again in an editorial only remotely (if at all) related to that subject. The importantthing to establish here is no one , not even the SFFC (to their credit, actually), ever said the FleshGordon shtick was anything but a callous attempt to generate money. I suspect it is the very indifference of the SFFC to your charges of callousness that irritated you; by analogy, it's a lot like continuing torun "The News Brothers" column long after you were aware how it enraged readers, wouldn't you say? But this is old news. Which is why I question the inclusion of the incident in Tuesday's editorial. Theanswer is, of course, the bias of your newspaper toward this group. Had Viking Con generated moneythis year, would an editorial of great praise have been written, rather than one of com-demnation overthe convention's losses? The answer is no. Viking Con did generate large amounts of money last yearand The Front was silent. This is, I suppose, more a detailing of the bias of newspapers as a wholetoward the negative, but I think my point has still been made.

Nothing of what The Front rebuked as the"excursion into the weekend path of nonexistence" (as opposed to the "mass rad" Front parties, rightboys and girls?) pointed to any mismanagement of funds, but to legitimate attempts to reach morepeople, provide more services, present more guests, lectures and programs than any other studentoperated event this year or last. Two of the "miscalculations" itemized by The Front, the low turnout and over-abundance of shirts, seemed related to and caused by a third, the uncompensated cost ofadvertising. Had the advertising (which does, in retrospect, seem to have been excessive andunproductive) worked, the event might have been a financial success (thus, unmentioned by The Front).Hindsight is wonderful. A fourth "miscalculation" was providing first-class accomodations for top-rateand valued guests. Scandalous! The final "miscalculation" was presenting a Dr. Who event the sameweekend, an unrelated event that should have complemented the convention but, instead, drewmemberships away.

They also tell me that the SFFC has repaid at least $4,000 of Viking Con loans to theActivities Council; that seems pretty good. AS Vice President for Activities Terri Echelbarger seems tohave at least some confidence in the SFFC's ability to repay their loans. Why doesn't The Front?Finally, the "You 'n Me," Big Buddy attitude of The Western Front is a crockload, kids. Viking Conwas open to anyone who wanted to attend. The Front can sob and bitch about good money being takenfrom our thin little pockets from now until finals, but we all know it's bullshit. A lot more than $1,500 hasbeen dropped by the collection of AS organizations this year and for many more obscure andinaccessible events than on on this "weekend path" to "cerebral destruction." Go peddle youraltruism elsewhere. Tim Johnson Campaign clutter is just lame litter Western Front: Spring is here,flowers bloom in the byways. . . This is the university primeval. A gentle breeze wafts by, blowing apile of old, soggy campaign posters into the gutter — campaign posters? Now don't get me wrong, I can get behind the AS elections (I'm not certain why . . .), but is it really necessary to paste the entirecampus with these flyers? I recommend that the candidates campaign more and litter less. Twenty-foot-high letters spelling out "BILL" are a bit much, don't you think? Especially when they come unglued,and uglify the campus. I don't need to see. someone's name 50 times in order to understand that they're running for office. The bulb above my head, dim though it may be, does tend to light up occasionally.Why don't the candidates just use the normal channels (V.U., Dorms, etc . . . ) for posters andpublicity? Films are attended regularly, yet the posters for those, are not plastered everywhere; thesame goes for any other public event on campus, so why are the AS elections the only exception? Theline of reasoning seems to be he/she who makes the biggest mess wins. Am I really to believe in ( andvote for) candidates who are so irresponsible as to let their attempts at publicity litter the sidewalks? I'msure there are better uses for time, paper and money. Sean Robinson The toughest job you 11 everlove We admit it. It takes a different kind of person to be a Peace Corps Volunteer. We won't misleadyou with glowing pictures of exotic lands. The hours as a volunteer are long. The pay is modest. Andthe frustrations sometimes seem overwhelming. But the satisfaction and rewards are immense. You'll be immersed in a new culture, become fluent in a new language, and learn far more about thethird world — and yourself — than you ever expected. You'll al#o discover that progress brought about by Peace Corps volunteers is visible and measurable: Such as health clinics established in thePhilippines; Fresh-water fish ponds constructed in Kenya; roads and schools and irrigation systems built in Upper Volta; tens of thousands of people given essential skills in farming, nutrition, the skilled trades, business, forestry, and other s p e c i a l t i es throughout the developing world. Being, avolunteer isn't for everyone, and it isn't easy, but to the people of the developing nations who have neverbefore had basic health care or enough to eat, the Peace Corps brings a message of hope and change. We invite you to look into the volunteer opportunities beginning in the next 3- 12 months in Africa,Asia, Latin America and the Pacific.

Place Stadium, the Prince ofWales declared the 86th world fair open. "Together with my wife we have the greatest pleasuredeclaring Expo 86 officially open," Prince Charles said. The invitation-only opening ceremony wasgraced with the presence of the royal couple for just less than an hour. The video screen in the stadiumallowed the crowd to watch the royal couple from the time they left the yacht until they arrived at thestadium. When Princess Diana appeared on the screen an enormous roar erupted from the crowd.Military bands, including the United States Navy Band of Seattle and Les Vieux Grenadiers de Geneve from Switzerland, performed at the opening ceremony. Flags from the 54 participating countrieswere displayed and the Expo '86 orchestra and dancers performed before the royal couple and thecrowd. With the opening event logged in the history books, the next five and a half months will see anexpected 20 million visitors to Expo. Plans to attend the fair should include spending a lot of time andmoney. Parking is plentiful with room for 600 chartered buses and 25,000 cars at the off-site lots.Shuttle service is available to the site. About 800 bicycle stands are outside the east and west gates.Parking outside the B.C. Place stadium costs $6.00 (Canadian funds) for all day. Entry into the faircosts $20 a day.for adults and a three-day pass goes for $45. Certain exhibits and entertainment events cost extra. Tickets for concerts and other performances run from $ 10 to $21. A glance at the 67objects displayed from the reign of Egyptian Pharoah Ramses II also will cost extra. About 70 foodstops, including five McDonalds, await fair goers. These stops range from buffet-style restaurants tofast-food outlets. Plan to pay $3 to $ 15 or more per person per meal. For those on a budget, picniclunches are recommended. Expo also has liquid refreshments for adults at many of the restaurantsand bars, but here again, be willing to pay the price. At the Bavarian Beer Gardens, a pitcher of beer is$10.95. Phones and restrooms are plentiful on the grounds.

JOHN ATKINSON M JOHN ATKINSON Wolf-pack journalists chase royalty ByJohn Atkinson staff reporter Princess Diana of Wales once described the behavior of British newspaperwriters as "wolf-pack journalism." The wolf-pack, 800 strong, descended on Vancouver last weekend,when the royal couple officially opened Expo '86. Their appearance shed little light on the world's mostpublic private couple, despite the efforts of an aggressive press corps from around the world. Everyshred of information about the royal couple, however trivial, was pondered by journalists hungry for astory with ajiew angle. Inside B.C. Place Stadium the best view of the royal couple was on the giantvideo screen at one end of the stadium. Photographers waiting for Charles and Diana's appearanceacross the street at Expo's main gate faired little better than their colleagues inside the stadium. Vyingwith thousands of spectators waiting in the cold for a glimpse of the royal couple, they jockeyed forthe best possible positions in the crowd. Behind barricades stood a solid line of Royal CanadianMounted Police, anxiously scanning the crowd. Police appeared on every rooftop and at other vantagepoints. Plainclothes police with portable radios dotted the crowd every few feet. A kind of electricityrolled through the crowd and they broke into cheers when the royal couple appeared. "I just can't believe she's here,' a woman said, as she teetered while perched on her husband's shoulders with aninstamatic camera in her hands. A teen-age girl began sobbing uncontrollably as the royal couplewalked by smiling and waving. "I waited five years to see her," she said tearfully. "Six months ofplanning for 30 seconds of action," a relieved RCM P officer said, as the crowd dispersed onto the Expo grounds. Charles and Diana, cloaked in secrecy and a fairytale illusion, were gone - on to their nextroyal destination. During a rare television interview last year, Diana discussed the effects of thetreatment the press gives to the royal couple. She said, "obviously, you feel very wounded.

The fair includes numerous carnival rides, many performance sights and 61 pavilions sponsored by various states, provinces, nations and corporations. The United States Pavilion, located on the far westend of the grounds, is high-tech and space age, but it represents only a small portion of our nation. Thepavilion focuses on the evolution oi flight from the 1903 Kitty Hawk flight by the Wright Brothers to the 1980 space shuttle missions. The United States and the Eastern Block nation's pavilions, Soviet Unionand Czechoslova-kian in particular, lack culture in their exhibits. Neither display included any pictures ofpeople or neighborhoods, culture or ancestry. Transportation and communication, the theme of thefair, are the only subjects in these pavilions. Alexander Braginets, of Pol-tara, Ukraine, an interpretor for the Soviet Union, said he has been in Canada for a week and would stay for the duration of the fair. Hecompared his country to Canada by saying it was warmer than at home, but "we hope that the betterweather comes soon." His name tag said "interpretor" although his English was quite broken. Hecould talk quite well about the displays but had trouble communicating when asked questions about hisstay in Vancouver. Another pavilion, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's, displays ceremonial costumesand traditional music. Although the display doesn't follow the theme of the fair, it's a veryentertaining exhibit. A man playing an Arabian instrument, similar in style to the Indian sitar with onestring, sings folk songs in a display of Arabian ceramics. A table is set up for visitors to have theirnames spelled in arabic which, based on the length of the lines, appears to be quite successful.Members of the Arabian pavilion are dressed in traditional costume styles consisting of white robesand red and white turbins tied with black rope. The guides are very friendly and will be in Expo for twomonths until another group arrives to replace them. Canadian Place, the national Canadian exhibit, isthe largest exhibit ever at a world exposition, taking up nearly 200,000 square feet. Lines are long forthe displays. The exhibit is situated across town outside the main site of the fair. The British ColumbiaPavilion Complex is located near the main gate on 11 acres of waterfront, overlooking False Creek.The complex consists of three permanent buildings. Discovery B.C., Challenge B.C., and ShowcaseB.C. Three states, Washington, Oregon and California, have pavilions at the fair. Washington'spavilion displays the natural beauty of the state viewed from a human conveyor belt called a "movingsidewalk." As the sidewalk moves past a 15-by- 125-foot screen, visitors view a seven-minute slide/filmpresentation showcasing Washington. The presentation is created by using 69 slide projectors and35mm film projectors simultaneously. The show includes clips of the Seahawks, Pike Place Market,Eastern Washington and the Ski to Sea race in Bellingham. The lobby area of the pavilion has severaltelevision screens with a list of state events. Visitors select the event they want to hear about and a 30-second presentation is shown on the event. Ski to Sea is one of the events available. Anotherattraction at the fair is Studio 86. "Cut your favorite songs in your own private studio" is what thestudio exhibit boasts in neon outside the entrance. Inside Studio 86 fair visitors can select a song froma list of more than 50 and then enter a sound booth and record the vocals to the selected song. A mixer is used to marry the vocals with the music and the sound system allows passers by to listen to theperformances. Waves, a restaurant located near the main gate of the fair and next to Studio 86, istypical of the fair's restaurants—except the dance floor. The floor contains a number of overgrowngoldfish who freely swim underneath the restaurants patrons. Thick glass separates the fish from thepeople. A one-day excursion to Expo provides no more than a glimpse of the fair's many attractions. Aglimpse teases the visitor, three days of exploring might leave you satisfied. A work force of Vancouver-area students hawked everything from balloons to camera film. TIM CHOVANAK JOHN ATKINSON Adancer at the Japanese pavilion demonstrates a traditional dance style.

STATt ST. ---------- Western Front - 1986 May 6 - Page 9 ---------- TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 9 Women reach twilight of district By Craig Crandall staffreporter Several Western athletes used the Viking Twilight meet at Civic Stadium Friday as a tune-up for the NAIA District I Track and Field Championships. The championships are scheduled for Friday andSaturday at Civic Stadium. A number of athletes turned in outstanding performances at the Twilightmeet, but no team scores were kept. Shelly Boro-vich set a school record in the triple jump with a leapof 34 feet 7 inches, now the best in the district for triple jumpers. Borovich turned in two otherpersonal best efforts, with a 34- 11 throw in the shot put and a 118-35 throw in the discus. Hollie Watson nipped a tenth of a second off her school record of 25.0 seconds in the 200- meters, clocking in at 24.9. "I was very pleased with the way the meet went," said Western Coach Tony Bartlett. "We did reallywell, I was happy with everyone's performance," he said. "This meet is an excellent tune-up for nextweek's district championships." Kristi Dunn's 34-l gt;4 inch triple jump was one foot better than herprevious best and is the third best jump in the district this year. Dunn also captured a 12.9 clocking inher first-ever 100- meters race for Western. The time made her eligible to run in the event this week atdistricts against some of the league's elite runners. "She looked good for us," said Bartlett. "Runningher next week Decathlete finds new field and another nationals trip By Tom Pearce staff reporter Threetimes in the last four years Western's Jeff Neubauer has journeyed to the NAIA national championshiptrack meet for the decathlon. This year when he pulled his hamstring during the District I decathlon,another trip to nationals seemed out of the question. So what did the senior from Sehome High Schooldo? He decided to concentrate on another event, the javelin throw. And after two weeks of steadytraining for just one events it looks like Neubauer will be faking the trip to nationals anyway.

At this point, she is the NAIA national leader."Every time we've been in a scoring meet this season, we have won when we shouldn't have won,"Bartlett said. "Other teams will need to perform well to knock us off. We are definitely strong where weneed to be strong," he said. Simon Fraser University appears to be the toughest team on paper goinginto the meet, Bartlett said. Pacific Lutheran University should score heavily in the meet because "theyare a district power," he said. KRISTI MOEN Holly Watson Wins 100, 200 Western track hosts district championship By Tom Pearce staff reporter For nearly five months, Western's track team has beenbuilding for the NAIA District I meet. Now, according to men's Coach Ralph Vernacchia, it's time forthe athletes to collect their rewards. "It's time to cash in on our investments," Vernacchia said. "We'vebeen building toward this since January." Western will host the NAIA District I Track and FieldChampionships Friday and Saturday at Bellingham's Civic Stadium. Western has won the last fivedistrict men's crowns, while the women have won two of the" three women's meets. Men's Coach RalphVernacchia said his team is ready to go. "Just the fact that it's a championship meet sharpens us,"he said. "It's really the highlight of the season. There's a lot of high caliber athletes. It's an environment we like to be in. It's stimulating enough." Vernacchia said his team doesn't feel much pressure to win another title. "Each year is different, it's just like trying to do it for the first time," Vernacchia said."Every athlete just has to think about what he has to do each year, that's one thing that makes itexciting and challenging." Several Vikings could challenge for district individual titles. Hurdler TreyCummings, sprinter Fred Pulphus, javelin thrower Jeff Neubauer, high jumpers Kurt Hanson and MarkMurdzia, shot putter Kim Nix, triple jumper Jerry Hopper and the Viking 4x100-meter team have allrecorded some of the best marks in the district in their respective events. On the women's side, HollieWatson, a freshman who has set and reset several school records, and Janell Massey, a senior whohas recorded one of the fastest times in the nation in the 400- meter hurdles, will lead the women'steam. Other top contenders for the women include Kathy Miller in the long sprints, sprinter LolaJohnston and the Viking 4x100 and 4x400-meter teams. The fact that athletes have been trainingspecifically for this time of the year is another factor which could spur some top performances,Vernacchia said.

"Now, before I start I need a promise from theaudience that you won't let your parents try and do this at home," he warned. The audience, asuspiciously large percentage under three feet tall, agreed. Cochrane, wearing a blue-and- red harlequinjumpsuit and his face painted traditional mime white, called for an "old and responsible" member of theaudience to light the ends of three torches, which he then juggled. His show was over, but the audiencewas promised further entertainment by the Southside Jugglers in just a few minutes. It seemed theperfect sort of day for jugglers, and music, and flaking out on the lawn. The 11th annual FairhavenRenaissance Fair promised to provide plenty of each. The omnipresent Bellingham cloud layer, afterdripping ominously most of the night, had disappeared—as if in honor of the occasion. Fairhavencourtyard was alive with children, dogs and frisbees. There seemed to be a contest going on to see whocould wear the most outrageously loud pair of shorts. Laurette Langille performs her energetic rhythmand blues. Although the term "renaissance" is usually applied to the period of cultural rebirthfollowing the middle ages, the abundance of tie-dyed clothing and long hair made Fairhaven lookmore like a renaissance of the late 1960s. The Southside Jugglers began its performance with one of its members walking on a tightrope across the Fairhaven courtyard pond, and continued with a show ofcompetent juggling and considerable wit. Sally. Adam, Karl, Stefan and BRIAN BEAN Yoav tossedsuch diverse items as bagels, plungers, and flaming tennis balls, along with jokes and humorouscomments. Their sometimes hilarious ad-libs made it almost more fun when they dropped things thanwhen the juggling went smoothly. Booths, many of them familiar sights on Vendor's Row, sold food andother items. One booth invited fairgoers to sign a petition for a "Central American Peace Initiative,"another was festooned with brightly colored scarves. The fair featured live music all day, provided for themost part by local performers. Erin Cor-day, singing folk music in a high, clear voice reminiscent of Joan Baez, was the last person to perform inside the Fairhaven main lounge. The stage had been set upthere when it looked as if it would rain. Laurette Langille took her energetic rhythm and blues out to thecourtyard, where the audience could enjoy her music and the sunshine at the same time. Tom Brennonand Tim McHugh followed, playing folk. The courtyard was in shade by the time The Rubber Band began to play, around six. They had the distinction of being the loudest performance so far, and people beganto dance. Some improvised wildly to the music; some were more restrained. One couple danced ingood imitation of '50s style jitterbug. The Moonpins, playing a wide variety of highly danceable material,sustained the energy and volume as the sun went down. USER FRIENDLY.

"Violets are Blue . . . ," starring Sissy Spacek and Kevin Klineis a sappy, unbelievable love story about a journalist and a photographer who love each other but belongin two separate worlds. Directed by Jack Fisk, Spacek's husband, "Violets" is jumpy and unpolished.You feel as though you're getting the rough draft of the film. Set in Ocean City, Md., the film portraysGussie Sawyer a n d H e n ry Squires as two as a journalist and tries to talk Sawyer (Spacek) intojoining him. But, gosh, she says, she just hates school and is content where she is. Next thing we seeis a montage of photographs from all over the world. Apparently (we kind of have to guess), Gussie hasbecome a successful photographer, and now she's going back to Ocean City for a vacation. Shefinds her old love married and head of the local paper. Of course, they have an affair and break a frontpage story together. The time comes when he has to ——————~—~~"~~~ decide whethery^— f\w 7i J J to leave his wife IllOVlf^ and son and go • off with Gussie rCVlCW to C e n t r al young lovers planning their future together. To pass as 19- ish, Spacek is decked out with fake, kinky hair.With all her freckles, she can carry it off. Kline, sorry, lost the essence of youth a long time ago. That,however, is forgiveable, even kind of cute. He corrects her grammar and she vaults into her beat upVolkswagen bug, which she has to start with a pair of pliers. They spend their time making love on thebeach and talking about the future. Squires (Kline) dreams of going to Boston to begin a career —America to do a story. Will he go with her? Why did he stay in Ocean City in the first place? Thesequestions are the basis of the story, yet the audience, by this time, doesn't really care about theanswers. This type of film, at best, belongs to the TV movie-of-the-week category. Unless you're a die-hard Kline or Spacek fan, don't waste your money. "Violets" is showing at the Viking Twin. Probably not for long. The New Playwright's Theatre, NPT, will premiere nine plays Wednesday evening. JimBindi, the program's director, said NPT is "a unique experience- in theatre where the playwright, actorsand director all work together." The nine plays are spread over two consecutive evenings Wednesdayand Thursday, and Friday and Saturday. NPT is presented once a quarter and is done wholly bystudents. Fifty-one actors and actresses are involved. A number of the students taking part are bothdirectors and playwrights for separate plays, Bindi said. "The Laundry," written by Shreeve and directedby Sean Robinson, is "a psycho-drama about two drug dealers waylaid in a laundromat in thebackwaters of southern California," Bindi said. Bindi's play, "Iron City Gospel," is an absurdist farce about a serious subject. It's the story of what happens to steel workers who have lost their jobs. Otherplays deal with abortion, philosophy, art, love and everyday life. The playwright usually is not available to watch or work with the director and actors of a play. Through NPT the playwright can see his, or her,play in motion and can learn from the experience, Bindi said.

Anadvanced tuition payment program, which allows payments in three installments, was approvedThursday by Western's Board of Trustees. "That means, for example, students may pay for fall quarterin July, August and September," said Don Cole, vice president for Business and Financial Affairs. Theinstallment program is an option, not a requirement, for students, Cole said. Legislators passed a bill in1985 giving Western $18,000 to develop a pilot program for advanced tuition installments. "This mayhave been a token move by the legislature to ease the burden of tuition payments for students," saidAssociated LARGE WITH STOPPINGS ON DELIVERIES ONLY 4:30 — 11 PM, Sunday thru Thursday Nights Not Valid With Other Discounts Expires 5/22/86 ASK FOR THE "OLD FAIRHAVEN SPECIALFOR THIS SPECIAL PRICE 676-1304 VENUS PIZZA J 3 TM Students President Jeff Doyle. "Peoplecan spread out the payments rather than pay high prices all at once." A referendum on last year'sAssociated Students elections ballot asked students if they wanted an advanced tuition installmentprogram. The referendum was passed. "I put the referendum on the ballot because 1 thought(Western) administrators were dragging their feet," Doyle said. "I thought (the installmentprogram) could've been started last year." Doyle helped lobby for the bill in Olympiain 1985. Aninformation item during Thursday's trustees meeting was Western's enrollment figures. Paul Ford, vicepresident for Academic Affairs, said Western may have to turn away many qualified freshmen andtransfer students applying for next year. Aug. 1 was last year's closing date with 1,499 freshmen. As ofThursday, 1,540 freshmen had been accepted for 1986-87. "If we continue to accept them at the samerate," Ford said, "we'll have 1,600 by June and 1,700 by Sept. 1, when we're supposed to closeentrance." Because.of the backup in processing applications, Ford said it appears Western is lacking transfer students for next year. "That's not true at all," he said. Transfer application closed Aug. 15 lastyear with 1,101 students. That figure has been surpassed for next year, he said. Western'sundergraduate enrollment cap is 8.250 students, said Western President G. Robert Ross. "It appearswe're going to have to turn away many fully qualified applicants," he said. A possible solution, Rosssaid, includes distributing funds differently to meet the required dollar amount per student, yet beable to take more students. Correction The Associated Students elections candidates article in Friday's Front contained two factual errors. Dan Wood, running for position #4, vice president for External Affairs, was a legislative intern in Olympia last quarter. He did not initiate a stream enhancement project, heonly worked on it.
