The events began Friday with a group- of approximately 40 people who held signs on the corner of Holly Street and Railroad Avenue and waved at cars, said Christina Carr, Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood's public policy coordinator. Organizers distributed candles to people at the market from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Then the group of approximately 50 organizers and event-goers held a silent candlelight vigil for a little more than five minutes, Carr said. Afterward, they solemnly made their way through the snow to the museum for the main event of the day. _''.; ' . ' • . ' - "It's a global day to recognize, to remember those who have died from AIDS, and to mark that we still need to do something about it," said- Western graduate Ryan Blackwell. Blackwell is a program assistant with the Slum Doctor Programme, which provides medical treatment and education opportunities to people affected by AIDS in Africa. "It's preventable and it's treatable, so it's a time for us to advocate for that, but just as much a time for us to remember people who have died unnecessarily," he said. A service at the museum featured Western graduate Tegan Callahan from Interfaith Community Health Center and Sean Humphrey House founder Karen Durham as speakers. The house provides living accommodations to low-income people with HIV or AIDS. Callahan said she volunteered with the Peace Corps in December 2004 after graduating from see AIDS page 7 • Dos Padres reopens after June fire Restaurant replaces old decor, furniture to keep former look Ian Wright THE WESTERN FRONT Fairhaven's newly reconstructed Dos Padres Mexican Restaurant has been welcoming customers back since it reopened Nov. 23. On June 3, a fire destroyed the bar and caused severe smoke damage of Dos Padres, located at 1111 Harris Ave in downtown Fairhaven. The cause of the fire is unknown and the cost to repair damages is still adding up six months after the fire, said Jim Altman, who has owned Dos Padres for 13 years. Manager Skyla McLean said Dos Padres still has the same friendly, welcoming atmosphere it had before the fire. "... [Dos Padres] has the same feel, same color scheme and the same setup. We thought that was very important to the character of the restaurant." - Skyla McLean, Dos Padres manager "This summer when we were reconstucting, we wanted to do it in a way that;made it look exactly the same as it did before the fire," McLean said. "We put in new hardwood floors, but other than that it has the same feel, same color scheme and the same setup. We thought that was very important to the character of the restaurant." Altman said the restaurant has been around for more than 35 years, and since the structure of the building was not harmed in the fire, he wanted to keep the restaurant's same comfortable feel. "We are not trying to change our 35 year history just because we had a fire," he said. Western graduate Aaron Eisenbarth, a cook at Dos Padres before the fire, said he was see PADRES page 8 • Storms hit Whatcom County Ian Wright THE WESTERN FRONT Bellingham residents woke up Saturday morning -to the sound of gripless tires gliding through their .neighborhoods and the beeping of stranded buses. The snow~showers were just the start of a string of inclement weather that is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to Western Washington this week, according to the National Weather Service. Western Whatcom County received 4 inches of snow Saturday, which caused some people to either stay home and not battle the slick roads or rely on public transportation to get to where they needed to go. Western junior Anecia Yukluk was riding the 105 bus to Wilson Library when the bus came to a complete stop in the middle of the intersection of Ellis Street and Magnolia Street, causing a 20 minute delay and back-up. "After about five minutes of hearing that loud beeping from the bus, I decided to just get out and battle the storm," Yukluk said. "It sucks that this nasty weather always comes right in time for finals. I really don't need this right now." Maureen McCarthy, community outreach and marketing manager for the Whatcom Transit Authority (WTA), said this time of the year is always hectic for WTA employees and riders, who seem to call frequently when bad weather hits. "Snow is always causing madness at WTA, and there are some things riders should know when this happens," McCarthy said. The WTA Web site can answer riders' questions, she said. see STORM page 7 • ---------- Western Front 2007-12-04 - Page 2 ---------- NEWS News Briefs Construction to restrict Bellingham roads The Public Works Department will impose road restrictions in the Bellingham area through Friday.

Starting winter quarter, the Residents' Resource Awareness Program (ResRAP) will have its first residence hall energy competition, said ResRAP coordinator Kimbrough Mauney. The competition will measure the electricity use in most of Western's residence halls at the end of each month during winter quarter. In doing so, the program aims for at least a 5 percent reduction in the amount of electricity used in the halls from previous years, Mauney said In December 2006, Western's residence halls used a total of 527,638 kilowatt-hours. A 5 percent reduction would save the university more than $2,000, Mauney said. The installments are made by eco-reps who hold volunteer positions on hall councils in the residence halls. The competition will begin the first day of winter quarter and hopefully continue after the quarter ends, Mauney said. There are many different www.shareyourlife.org 1-800-355-SHARE Coalition on Organ Tissue Donation things students can do to help . conserve the electricity, she said. When an appliance or an electronic device, such as a light or computer, is plugged in even when not in use, it still uses, electricity, said Mathes Hall resident advisor and junior Courtney Taylor. "Even taking showers uses electricity," Mauney said. Hall residents can limit their time in the shower, which will help the hall receive points, she said. Points are tallied in many different ways, Mauney said. Hall residents will get the chance to attend programs, such as videos or lectures, put on by ResRAP next quarter. Halls will receive points based on attendance at the programs and points based on the percent reduction at the end of each month, she said. Points will be given to halls whose residents publicly commit to decreasing their energy usage through online pledges and bulletin boards in the halls, Mauney said. The electricity will " be measured by Facilities Management using data readings that measure kilowatt-hours of electricity used by each of the halls, Mauney said. "I hope that this will help residents see that there are little things that we can do to decrease our impact," Taylor said. "It's the simple things we need to take advantage of." Katie Foster, representative for the Associated Students club Students for Renewable Energy (SRE), said hopefully the program will educate students on how to be more aware of energy conservation. "If we can just get into better habits then we can save money on campus and put that money where we need it more," said Foster, a Western sophomore. Prizes will be awarded to the participants of the winning hall, Mauney said. ResRAP aims to get local businesses to donate items such as lift tickets, bicycles and free food as prizes for the contest winners, she said. "I think it is a really good idea to get everyone to start thinking about their impact," said Western sophomore Julia Ward. "I'm going to start turning off my lights when I leave." This competition is important to the future of the environment, said Fairhaven Residence hall eco-rep and Western freshman Katie Johnston. The small steps that anyone can do to conserve the energy can really add up, she said. "I just hope Fairhaven doesn't win this," Taylor said. "They always win anything that has to do with sustainability."

The audience gathered to hear a lecture titled "Tracking Neanderthals" given by Todd Koetje, Ph. D. Western associate professor of anthropology. The lecture focused Koetje's work with other researchrs at an excavation site called Weasel Cave in the Caucasus Mountains in Southern Russia. Koetje has been working at the site for the last 10 years during the summer and is attempting to decipher how exactly Neanderthals in that region lived their lives approximately 250,000 to 300,000 years ago. Koetje's lecture is the first of three given by representatives from various departments in the Dean's Community Lecture Series, which is put on by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. The series is in its third year. "It's great to have faculty that are willing to go out into the community and talk about that which they are passionate,", said Kathy Knutzen, associate dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. The lecture began with a brief overview of what anthropologists know about Neanderthals. Koetje said the brains of Neanderthals were the Left: Western anthropology professor Todd Koetje, Ph. D., presents his research at Bellingham City Hall Nov. 28 on Neanderthal findings at Weasel Cave in Russia. photos by Graig Hill THE WESTERN FRONT Above: Koetje holds stone tools from the Western anthropology department's collections, similar to stone tools found at Weasel Cave, Russia. same size as those of modern humans. Neanderthals shared many traits with humans such as burying their dead and taking care of their sick and elderly, he said. Koetje then went on to explain the specific placement of Weasel Cave in the Caucasus Mountains and the particulars of the work he and his team of researchers were doing to excavate the cave floor. He said Weasel Cave itself had collapsed at some point after it was inhabited by Neanderthals, so extensive digging had to be done to find any Neanderthal bones or artifacts. Most of the artifacts found were pieces of flint carved into points and cutting edges, he said. Knutzen said the amount of work that had to be done to be able to deduce anything from the bones and artifacts was one of the most interesting things about the lecture. "Something that strikes me is that the work is so tedious and so exact," she said. Once an area of the cave floor was excavated, any artifacts or bones that were found were marked with white cotton balls so researchers could return to those spots and begin the delicate process of extricating the bones or artifacts from the rock, Koetje said. Western junior Parsan Saffaie, who attended the lecture, said she was most interested to hear about Koetje's work at Weasel Cave in more detail since she has taken several classes from him. "If you've taken any of his classes, you've heard at least a little about Weasel Cave," she said. "It was interesting to hear about what he actually does." Koetje said the most significant find in Weasel Cave was that of a roughly square arrangement of cave bear bones. The two halves of the lower jaw were lined up and the ribs and vertebrae were arranged in an orderly fashion to the left of the jaw bones. He said these bones could not have been naturally placed in such a way. This arrangement might show that Neanderthals had the capacity for symbolic reasoning, even though anthropologists have found few examples of what could be Neanderthal art, he said. "These bones could have been for some ritualistic purpose or they could have just been some Neanderthal kids playing around," Koetje said. "We're not sure." Free iPod. (And other free stuff too.)

Western senior Kristina Mader said she founded the club three years ago with an initial attendance of 10 people and expanded in its next year to approximately 25 active members. Model United Nations is a program that allows students to attend conferences with other universities and simulate United Nations (UN) meetings and international politics. Mader said each student in attendance acts as a delegate, representing a country chosen by the conference beforehand. "The UN takes Model UN seriously," Mader said. She said the United Nations delegates will quote resolutions in their own conferences. As the club grew, it was harder to maintain on the standard club budget, Mader said. The club looked for a department to sponsor the club so that it could become a full-fledged program like debate, giving it access to greater funding and recognition by the university, she said. Aaron Hayman, Model United Nations club vice president, said he is hoping the funding will allow the club to focus more on club business as opposed to fundraising. Hayman said expenses have grown from $4,000 per year to $20,000 per year as the club attends more conferences and expands in size. "We don't want students to not have to contribute at all. We feel that's part of the commitment and part of Model UN," Hayman said. "But we also feel that more students would be involved and we would be more successful if we had a more stable source of funding." The club applied to the political science department and gained the department's support in becoming a program, Mader said.

The club will become a political science department program this year. photo coutesy of Kristina Mader Abedi-Djourabtchi said. "They had taken some of my classes and they made a compelling case." The club was recognized as important to the function of the political science department because of what students belonging to the program are required to learn about, Abedi- Djourbtchi said. He said students are required to research their topics beforehand and attend meetings with other universities to defend their chosen country's interests in a simulation of international politics. "I've been trying to work with the club in setting up an organizational structure that allows the club to survive long term," Abedi-Djourabtchi said. The AS does not have the funds to sustain the club anymore, said Western junior Rachel Lewis, president of the Model United Nations club. "We're a little different from most clubs on campus because of how far we travel and what our mission is," Lewis said. She said the club often travels across the country to attend conferences, and also attends conferences in Canada. Lewis said the cost and the differences between Model United Nations and other clubs are part of what prompted them to become a program. Mader said the Model United Nations club will become a program some time this school year. m®ma y m luesuay Karaoke Hosted by Star Entertainment New Hits List *250 Wells • *300 Jager • *200 Pusch Light *250 Powestics • *300 Micros • Free Fool W e d n e s d a y Progressive Wells Start @ 8:30PM PJ Pooger Spinnin' 70s, 80s £ Old School College Night PJ Pooger Top 40 plus 9PM to 11PM *100 Puseh Pints ^00 Jager £ *300 Long Islands Heat Records Presents PJ Roy Soy R £ 8 Hip Hop, Pance *1" Well Prinks 9PM to 11PM No Cover Thurs, Fri £ Sat w/Student ID BeSt L'a/rtS Sound 2\+ 72 gt; ^e^uited 140S Cornwall Ave. • 733-2579 ---------- Western Front 2007-12-04 - Page 7 ---------- WesternFrontOnllne.net I Tuesday • Dec. 4,2007 NEWS Community and student groups participate in world-wide AIDS event • AIDS from 1 Western. She worked as a community health educator in Swaziland, a small country in Southern Africa. Part of her work was teaching about HIV/ AIDS, she said. "I'm trying to bring that experience home and still trying to get involved and still fight the issue from this side of the globe," Callahan said. A coalition of organizations led by Evergreen AIDS Foundation planned the events, said Western senior Molly Franney, an intern with the foundation. Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood, Slum Doctor Programme, Interfaith Community Health Center, Western Men Against Violence and Sean Humphrey House all helped to plan and carry out the event, she said. "There has been this drive to make it more of a political attention grabbing kind of thing," Franney said. "AIDS is still a big issue. We need to stand up and make a difference and make change." Western junior Ashley Thomas said she has been involved with World AIDS Day events since she was 7. Her mother worked at the Andrew Project, a non-profit organization in Chehalis, Wash, named after the first person in the community to die from AIDS, Thomas said.

Carr said she hoped the day's events would help urge Bellingham residents to engage themselves in AIDS support. "My goal for this remembrance and awareness-raising day is to mobilize the community," Carr said. "It's not for us to do it, but for everyone to get involved." Western Men Against Violence got involved to give a positive image of masculinity, in some far off country," Thomas said. "It's here in Bellingham — here at Western." Western senior Kit Schumann said he was involved with the events because he thought the government's actions regarding reproductive and sexual health puts many people at risk. "I don't think we talk about AIDS very much as a public issue — a public health issue," Schumann said. "The candidates said Western graduate Joshua O'Donnell, staff coordinator for the club. The group worked to promote the event, he said. Group members hung up posters about the day around campus. O'Donnell said he hoped people would become more concerned about the impact AIDS has on the entire community. "I hope that by looking at the signs and seeing how many people are affected by AIDS, that not everybody will make it their forefront issue, but that they'll be aware of it and concerned about it," O'Donnell said. O'Donnell was giving a workshop at a high school where teenage boys did not want to share a towel with a classmate who had HIV, he said. Seeing how scared people can be when they are uneducated made O'Donnell want to help inform people of the reality behind the disease, he said. Carr said she had estimated 80 to 100 people would come to the service, but the fact that 50 came even with the snow made her happy.

The Emergency Management Division of the Whatcom County Sherriff's Office issued a flood warning in lowland communities along the Nooksack River and moderate flooding is expected there through Tuesday. Pete Stelling, a lecturer in the geology department, said the greatest threat to Bellingham residents during the week of storms is the flooding and high winds produced by warm fronts. ."The Pineapple Express, a warm front from north of Hawaii, is directing warm and wet weather our way across the Pacific," Stelling said.

Giir pleaded guilty in August 2007 to first-degree murder and to third-degree assault for the injuries Bee's friend sustained while attempting to intervene. Friend and fellow refugee, Western junior Thon Bior, said Giir and Bee had dated previously, but were separated at the time of the attack. Bee, who lived in the Western residence halls at the time, had been visiting a friend at her Burien, Wash, apartment when Giir arrived, Bior said. He said that after Giir stabbed Bee, he fled in his car to an overpass, where he jumped off onto State Route 509 in an attempted suicide. He was taken to the hospital and upon release, remained in police custody until his conviction, Bior said. Bee was one of six siblings who made the extensive trek from their hometown of Yirol, Sudan to a refugee camp 1,200 miles away in Kakuma, Kenya in an attempt to escape civil conflict, Bior said. Part of the group commonly referred to as the "lost children of Sudan," the Bees walked for more than 60 days across the Saharan desert before arriving at the camp in 1992, Bior said.

The siblings were placed in a two bedroom apartment in Tukwila, Wash, where they received support from their sponsor, Maury Clark. Bee graduated at 15 from Foster High School in Tukwila, Wash, and was attending her first year at Western with a Washington State Achievers Scholarship. Western professor Karen Hoelscher, who had Bee as a student, said Bee expressed an interest in teaching and was a quiet, supportive young woman who was exploring her opportunities. "Like a lot of Sudanese, her world was just opening up," Hoelscher said. She said Bee's death at the end of spring quarter 2005 deeply upset students within her class who felt they were just beginning to get to know Bee. Since Bee's death, Hoelscher said she has continued to question the motives behind the killing. She said watching films such as "God Grew Tired of Us," which follows the lives of three Sudanese refugees as they are integrated in the United States, has given her more empathy toward Bee's attacker. "It helped me understand the trauma of being displaced," she said. Hoelscher said she speculates Giir may have killed Bee out of jealousy. "Here he was in this new place and was watching a young, educated, successful Sudanese woman leave him," she said. Cara Anderson-Ahrens, the education director for the Southern Sudanese Community of Washington, tutors children who are between 4 and 18 years-old and said the adjustment to a new culture and education system can often affect their self-esteem and what Sudanese feel they can achieve in the future. The story of Bee's death moved quickly through the global Sudanese community, inspiring blog discussions and Web site tributes. Bior said a death of this nature had not occurred before in the Sudanese community, specifically within the United States. Bior, who lived in the same apartment complex as Giir at the time of the murder, said Giir did not have a history of stress or violence. He said Giir was open with people, friendly and went to church and that the Sudanese community was surprised by his attack. But Bior said that an event such as Bee's killing cannot be applied to the Sudanese community as a whole. He said this particular conflict was between two individuals and not a reflection of the Sudanese culture. "You have to know how to let things go and give forgiveness," he said. "Yes, forgiveness is key." Honesty Dependability Guaranteed! 10% Discount with Student ID 1189 E.

It looks a lot like it did when I worked there, which makes me feel good." Of the 25 people Dos Padres employed before the fire, 23 returned to work when the restaurant reopened, McLean said. Stephanie Busch, a waitress and bartender at Dos Padres, said she was excited to know her old job was available again. "I had to work at the Westford Funeral Home over the summer while the restaurant was getting reconstructed," Busch said. "It's so good to be back, and since its been really busy since we reopened, I've been seeing a lot of the same faces I saw six months ago. Finally everything is back to normal."

The preliminary injunction came four months after a lawsuit was filed on behalf of Stormans, Inc., owner of a pharmacy in Olympia, Wash., that argued its pharmacists' civil rights had been violated by the regulation. The decision will remain in effect while the case heads to court. Both the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Planned Parenthood of Western Washington have announced they will be joining in the lawsuit to defend access to medicine. Western senior Rhiannon Andreini, who has worked at Western's Women's Center in the past, was called on by the ACLU to participate in the pending trial as an intervenor by sharing her personal experience to support the defense's argument. Andreini said she had been denied emergency contraception at a pharmacy in Mukilteo, Wash. "[The pharmacist] told me, 'Oh we don't sell that here, Bartell carries that,' and just pointed in a general direction," Andreini said. "I didn't feel like I had another option. I wasn't familiar with the area so I ended up driving back to Bellingham two days early in order to get it." She said the issue transcends Plan B and has become a subject of discrimination. "Pharmacists chose this career," she said. "It is their duty to fill a prescription written by a doctor or requested by a competent individual. People should have timely access to their medications." Western senior Lizzie Stewart, who is a coordinator of Vox: Voices for Planned Parenthood and has spent many years volunteering at Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood, said Planned Parenthood is strongly opposed to the judge's decision. She said that while no pharmacists in Bellingham claim they refuse to fill Plan B requests, she said through secret shoppers, Planned Parenthood has found pharmacies that have denied customers, or made the process more difficult. According to the Washington State Pharmacy Association (WSPA) Web site, approximately 2,000 women access emergency contraceptives in Washington pharmacies each month. In the event a pharmacist is unable or unwilling to fill a prescription, WSPA emphasizes "Pharmacists chose this career. It \ is their duty to fill a prescription \ written by a doctor or requested by a / competant individual " Rhiannon Andreini, Western senior and lawsuit'intervenor a patient's right to timely care, according to their Web site. This means providing patients with an alternative pharmacy or in many cases, a different on-hand pharmacist. Dr. Emily Gibson, director of Western's Student Health Center, said she does not believe the preliminary injunction will interfere with women's access to Plan B. "Most pharmacies will try to provide an alternative pharmacist to dispense . in these situations so as to not lose business, but defend their pharmacists' right to decide what they feel they cannot dispense from a moral perspective," she said. Gibson said she felt the moral concerns some pharmacists have regarding Plan B are unique to this particular drug and the ruling would not translate to other medications. Mt. Baker Planned Parenthood hears regularly of cases other than emergency contraception in which pharmacists are refusing to sell medications, Stewart said. "We hear cases where diabetes patients need syringes [for insulin shots] and have reported being turned down by pharmacists, more than likely because of physical characteristics like tattoos and piercings," Stewart said. Much of the objection to Plan B is about whether or not emergency contraceptives obstruct life, Andreini said. Corina Jones, a Western senior and former president of the Western for Life club, said she believes Plan B facilitates the killing of another human being by prohibiting the fertilized egg from developing into a baby. "If I had it my way, Plan B wouldn't be available at all," she said. According to Plan B's consumer Web site, the pill can potentially prevent pregnancy by halting the release of eggs from the ovaries and possibly preventing implantation of the egg if taken within 72 hours of intercourse. Some individuals feel that in refusing to dispense Plan B, pharmacists are violating human rights. In a letter directed to the Washington State Board of Pharmacy in April 2006, the Washington State Human Rights Commission said pharmacists' solution of refusing and referring as a means of accommodating religious objections only perpetuates discrimination. "Allowing pharmacists to discriminate based on their personal religious beliefs against women and others trying to fill lawful prescriptions would be discriminatory, unlawful, and against good public policy and the public interest," the letter stated.

The idea behind Skill Share is that people, like Jeffress, have talents that can help others to live more self-sustaining lives by making things, like clothes, instead of buying them. The workshop provided snacks and lunch as well as information about sex education, stenciling, vegan cooking, people's rights concerning the police and drum and guitar lessons. Western senior Jessica Tracey said she and some friends began talking about doing something with educational workshops in late August, but they became more serious about it by the end of September. "I thought it was a great idea and something that would be viable for the community," she said. "Eventually, we want to invite speakers and open a lending library where people can check things out." Tracey said there had been four or five meetings, of pre-planning before the workshop Saturday just to get everything in order. "Everyone was doing a lot of footwork," she said. "We went to see people that we thought might be interested in doing workshops and doing publicity, for the skill share with things like flyers, through word of mouth and online postings." As for future Skill Shares, Tracey said she does not want to have the same schedule every time and would rather the group stay more free form. "I want to open it up to the community but keep the intimacy," she said. "But eventually, I would like more people from the community participating." To begin the workshop, Western senior Jessyca Murphey shared her skill of zine-making. A zine is an independent publication that anyone can make, Murphey said. They can be about anything, ranging from amateur ones about the television show Degrassi, to more glossy- covered ones. "The ones by teenagers are my favorite," she said. "They are usually really awful, but they write whatever they feel like unabashedly." Zines can be found online, by word of mouth or can be given away or sold with prices ranging from $1 to $2, Murphey said. "A lot of people see zining as having no point"; " "Hi lillf Western seniors Kyle Crawford and Jessyca Murph Saturday on how to create a zine.

But they are like little art scenes in themselves." The topic of the Skill Share's first zine will display the different skills people have. The pages ranged from how to hem pants to how to make paper snowflakes. One of the participants at the workshop was Western senior Kyle Crawford, who shared a poem from a zine he said he had made a few years ago. The poem, called "Overnight," coincided with the weather of the day he said and clean editing was not a focus of a zine. "It isn't a block party or a parade, it's snow," he read aloud. "Everyone has a new bounce in their step... This life is what you make it." Crawford, who started writing zines when he was 16 years old, said he was pleased with the 15 or so people who attended the Skill Share. ---------- Western Front 2007-12-04 - Page 11 ---------- PAGE 11 The Wes 6LLTuesday • Dec. 4,2007 nity ire Skill Share Skill Share •wvSkill Share Skill Share BPcTSkill Share Skill Share itliflli-photo by Kassidy Vietti THE WESTERN FRONT sy prepare for their Skill Share presentation "I thought there would be a lot of people, but I like this," he said.

Despite all of these advantages, Tracey said she thinks that there is no senseof community. "Skill Share builds a community so we can sustain ourselves," she said.

The simple set contains only a large boulder, which appropriately is the title of the piece being performed. "Boulder," by guest choreographer Kraig Patterson, is one of the pieces performed at Fall Into Dance, an annual concert put on by Western's advanced choreography class at 7:30 p.m. on December 6, 7 and 8 at the PAC Main Stage. Six student choreographers will also display their work at the show. Advanced choreography is taught at a dance studio on Holly Street downtown, said Nolan Dennett, artistic director of Western's dance program. Students must take choreography 1 and 2 before they can enter the class, where they do a guided independent study, Dennett said, in which they create and cast their own dances. "Once they have the skills and the confidence, we turn them loose," Dennett said. Although students rely on instructors for guidance, they must come up with their own idea for a dance, construct a music score and a cast list and bring their idea into some kind of tangible medium, he said. The choreographers think of an idea they want to illustrate and then put the concept onto the stage using humans, Dennett said. The idea can be something abstract, like peace or family, he said. Part of the challenge is taking an abstract concept and making it tangible for an audience, he said. Western junior Emily Olson, a student choreographer displaying her work at Fall Into Dance, is creating her piece using a verse from the Bible. Olson said her four dancers are wearing colored unitards and will base most of their movements in the nine-minute piece around 10- foot wraps surrounding their bodies. The dancers will use the wraps to pull around themselves and around other dancers onstage, Olson said. Western junior Katelyn Hales is performing in a piece by student choreographer Sarah Schermer. The piece is based on a painting by Gustav Klimt, a controversial 19th century Austrian artist known for his bold imagery and often erotic style, according to the Web site Gustav Klimt: Biography. Hales said she is taking choreography 1, the first step in the class sequence required to be a student choreographer in Fall Into Dance. Next fall, Hales said she hopes - to direct and choreograph her own piece. Hales said she isn't exactly sure what she wants to do with dance yet, but wants to keep doing it. "I definitely want it to be a part of my life," she said. ---------- Western Front 2007-12-04 - Page 12 ---------- 121 ART LIFE Tuesday • Dec. 4,20071 The Western Front Group of Western seniors resurrects the gentleman Kassidy Vietti THE WESTERN FRONT Other than the four guys with ties, button-up collared shirts and perfectly-pressed pants, the living room appears to be like that of any other college students.

But words like "wing-tipped shoes" prove the conversation is the furthest thing from what one would hear at a kegger. Instead, Western seniors Nathaniel Mouw? Michael Thomas Nelsen, Isaak Einterz and Justin Morrow discuss the perils facing what they believe are a dying breed: the gentlemen. Along with Western senior Maxwell Churchill, the five form the writers for their informational pamphlet called the Gentlemen's Information Publication, or GIP for short. "We talk about the traits necessary to define gentlemen," said Churchill, GIP fashion editor. With a tongue-in-cheek perspective of the difficulties of being gentlemen in today's world, the five seniors said they have a goal to publish a pamphlet once every month, with their first issue to be available by early December. photo courtesy of the GIP Members of the Gentlemen's Information Publication, from left to right: Western seniors Maxwell Churchill, Isaak Einterz, Michael Thomas Nelsen and Nathaniel Mouw, review an article and enjoy scotch.

"But it's a joke we're taking completely serious." Nelsen, who is the food and beverage editor, recently shared a recipe for spiked egg nog, which the members "We put on a nice John Wayne movie and we lit a fire," Einterz said. "We all had nice wool sweaters and we christened in the holidays." Einterz said a John Wayne movie was chosen for the simple answer that he defines "an American Hollywood gentleman." In addition to the articles editors submitted, the publication will also include a column by a different woman every issue titled "The Woman's Touch," said Mouw, GIP sports and business editor. Einterz, whose article for the December issue discusses his view on feminism, said his articles are not meant to be sexist. "Feminists fight guys who don't treat women right and that's what we're doing," Einterz said. "We can totally see the benefits of feminism in society. We're all for it. We're not against it." Meetings for the editors — who said they define gentlemen as having class, sass and confidence — consist of reading their articles aloud, discussing them and brainstorming ideas for other articles.

She said she roamed around the spring job fair in a blase haze, aware that she wanted to make a difference in the world, but unsure of how to reach that goal witli'a Business decree; She safd air^wb-minute pitch from the Peace Corps captivated her and changed her idea of life after college. "Wanderlust had taken over," she said. "My curiosity of other cultures and thirst for learning new languages was overwhelming. This was it—this was what I was supposed to do. My application was in the mail not three days later." The Peace Corps is an independent U.S. federal agency that works with developing countries to address specific needs and draws volunteers from across the nation every year. They range from college graduates right out of school to retired couples, but all volunteers help to set up and maintain sustainable communities and promote peace in their host photo courtesy of Brian Smith Western pre-med student Brian Smith, who served with the Peace Corps in Chisec, Guatemala, said agriculture is the primary source of income in the remote village and disputes about land are frequent. countries during their 27-month stay. Brian Smith, a pre-med student at Western who served for two consecutive terms in Chisec, a remote region in north central Guatemala, said he had no idea what he was getting into when he joined. Inspired by a politically active friend, Smith said he took his electrical engineering degree and applied to the Peace Corps/ shipping off to Guatemala in January 2003. He said he found that he scarcely used his degree in his time there and relied heavily on his social skills. "When it comes to skills, you're going to be all over the board," he said. "You're going to become an expert on things you didn't even think you knew anything about." During his four-year stay, Smith developed a vast number of projects—some less successful than others, he said. When he arrived, he said he was greeted by an indigenous community that had been recently ravaged by civil war and needed a way to support itself. At times, he said he worked one-on-one with the men to develop a way of bringing income into their village. "I asked them, 'So what can you make? What can you do?'" he said. "And they said they make sugar cane liquor. So we started brewing this stuff and bottling it up and selling it at the gringo tourist spots." Unfortunately, the bottles continued to ferment after being sealed and would eventually explode, so he said he was forced to return to the drawing board. But like many volunteers,. Smith said he learned from his mistakes, and alternatively set up a way for the women to distribute chili powder, which the region is famous for. Westfall, inspired by that initial Peace Corps pitch, is now in the 16th month of her term, serving in a small village near the Greek border in Bulgaria. Her experience has been vastly different from Smith's. She said she works in a secondary school, seeking out programs for the school, translating and handling general administrative staff duties. She teaches adult English classes at night and youth classes during the holidays.

"Peace Corps volunteers are some of the most inspirational people I have ever met," she wrote in an e-mail. "The injustices that some volunteers see on a daily basis would break your heart. But to see how volunteers are affecting change in the lives of these people is inspiring." The impact volunteers have may not present themself during their service, she said. But she said she guarantees a volunteer's footprint will be left behind in the community. She said she has had Bulgarians ask her why she left her friends and family in the United States. "I try to explain that money isn't everything," she said. "It's the intangible rewards of helping someone and that they are teaching me as much as I try and teach them." Brent Arbes, a post-baccalaureate student at Western who served time in Nepal and works as the Peace Corps campus representative, said he wants interested students to have a clear idea of the Peace Corps' goals before they make a decision. "A lot of people have this image of the Peace Corps in the 1960s: burly, bearded men with long hair living in the middle of nowhere in a hut," he said. "It's nothing like that." Bryan Conrad, a Western junior currently serving in the AmeriCorps in St. Louis, Mo., said he is interested in the Peace Corps as a means to carry out public service work abroad. He said it looks good on a resume, but that is not his motive for applying in the future. "I wanted to do more than just go to a country," he said. "I want.to be immersed and be a part of the community." Smith said that while some individuals believe the This household rainwater system Western pre-med student Brian Guatemala.

As for the apparel necessary for every meeting, Mouw, Churchill, Nelsen and Einterz said they dress how they want to be treated: like gentlemen. The statement by Mouw that a gentleman has to be well-dressed, was met with nods of approval from the others and prompted an interest as to whether Churchill's vest was tweed or herringbone. With the ) opinion of the editors that the most pressing issue of gentlemen today is the decline in etiquette, Einterz said they are trying to bring back the lessons their mothers "We talk about the traits necessary taught t h em to define gentlemen."

Right: Western head coach Diane Flick led the Vikings to a 26- 5 overall record this season. photos courtesy of Ann Williamson Steven Chea THE WESTERN FRONT After cruising through the NCAA Division II playoffs from the Pacific Regionals up through the National Semifinals, Western's volleyball team saw its thrilling run come to an end when Concordia University out-dueled the Vikings in the national title match Saturday in Topeka, Kan. Western, ranked 15th nationally in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association poll, lost to a Concordia team ranked second in the nation. The loss, Western's first since Sept. 8, broke the team's 21-match winning streak. The Vikings finished the season with a 26-5 overall record, while Concordia went 37-4. Western junior middle blocker Tiana Roma, who had 12 kills in the title match, said the efforts of Western head coach Diane Flick were crucial to the team's success this season. "We have the drive, we have the athleticism," Roma said. "But without her coaching and her support, we couldn't have done it." Concordia junior middle blocker Maria Steinhagen led the match with 26 kills, while sophomore libero Mary Slinger had a team-high 35 digs. Western senior outside hitter Emily Castro and junior middle blocker Angie Alvord paced Western's offense with 19 and 16 kills, respectively. Alvord and senior outside hitter Jaime Anderson each had 15 digs to complement senior libero Courtney Schneider's match-high 36. Western senior libero Courtney Schneider finished her career with 2,695 career digs, which ranks her third among NCAA leaders. Schneider set an NCAA tournament record in the semifinals with a match-high 44 digs. The Vikings lost the first" and third games of the title match 30-26 and 30-19, respectively, but won the second 30-23. Western stayed within three points of Concordia throughout the last game and led 29-28 before losing a point and " succumbing to two consecutive Concordia kills to end the match 31-29. Alvord said Concordia's strong attackers and a tenacious defense similar to Western's created the most trouble for the Vikings. "It seems like if we didn't get up a solid block, it was really hard to defend," Alvord said. "Also, it was frustrating for our hitters because we've never faced a defense as scrappy as ours is, so it was really hard for us to put the ball down and get the point." This season remains the most successful for Western, which made its first appearance in the National Championship Elite Eight in school history. In 2003, Western reached the Pacific Region Semifinals, where the Vikings lost 3-1 to California State University, San Bernardino. The title match marked the end of four seniors' careers at Western — Schneider, Castro, Jaime Anderson and setter Katie Robinson. Anderson and Castro led the Vikings in kills this season with 435 and 385, respectively. Robinson led the team with 1,340 assists and was second on the team with 50 service aces this season. Schneider said she has mixed emotions about the outcome of her last season at Western, but she is proud of the team's accomplishments. "It was a great season, but it's a little hard right now," Schneider said. "A national championship would've been better, but to make it this far is just amazing and a good way to end my career."

Western extended its winning streak to five games Saturday with a 99-54 victory against Walla Walla University. Western had five players score in double digits and led the entire game after scoring the first eight points. Western improved its record to 5-1 overall and is undefeated at home this season. Walla Walla dropped its third game in a row and fell to 3-6 overall. Western head coach Brad Jackson said Western's up- tempo playing style has contributed to the team's success this season. "We have a really quick team whose athleticism is incredible," Jackson said. "Since our team is full of scorers, it's hard for teams to shut us down." The Vikings were led by junior guard Ira Graham, who had a team-high 17 points and contributed three assists. Western junior guard Andrew Ready scored 14 points and had a game-high six steals. Walla Walla was led by center Ryan Wilson, who had a team-high 12 points and a game- high 12 rebounds. The Vikings had 17 steals in the game, compared to Walla Walla's three. Western is forcing an average of 18.2 turnovers per game this season, while holding themselves to 12.7 per game. Western sophomore center Steve Severin, who leads the team with 15 blocks this season, said the Vikings have high hopes for this season and are looking forward to conference playoffs. "One of our goals is to win our conference flat out," Severin said. "We have the talent and ability to do it, and with our defense and ability to score, there is no reason we shouldn't." Western's next game is at 7 p.m. Wednesday against Multnomah Bible College (MBC) in Carver Gym. MBC enters the game with a 3-5 record. photo by Graig Hill THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior center/forward David Brittinen shoots a lay-up in Western's 99-54 victory against Walla Walla University Saturday in Carver Gym. McDonald's Ail- American'nominee commits to men's basketball team Ian Wright THE WESTERN FRONT After debating whether to transfer to Western or Central Washington University, Morris Anderson, a junior at Highline Community College, has chosen to come to Bellingham and play for the Western men's basketball team next season. Anderson, a 6-foot-3-inch guard from Federal Way, signed an early letter of intent to play for the Vikings next season. He said he plans on transferring from Highline as early as spring quarter this year. As a senior at Federal Way High School, Anderson was a McDonald's All- American nominee and co-MVP of a team that tied for the South Puget Sound League title. Anderson averaged 15 points per game and lettered three years in a row. Anderson started both his freshman and sophomore year at Highline and was a first-team Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) Western Division all-star. see ANDERSON page 17 • ^ lt;3AJ*V^...S^^^.^yo 'SJE£7_ SEE THE DIFFERENCE I ---------- Western Front 2007-12-04 - Page 17 ---------- I WesternrrontOnline.net I Tuesday • Dec. 4,2007 spans m Sisters Schramm Sisters Sarah and Kristin Schramm, junior and freshman forwards on the Western women's basketball team, answer questions about playing together What was it like growing up together? Kristin: Growing up we never got along, we fought everyday and were never really that close. We pretty much hated being around each other until about my freshman year and her senior year. Does it help having a sister on the team? Sarah: Yes, this has been so much more fun having, her here. To be honest, that was one reason I wanted to transfer from Gonzaga to here — I wanted to play with her again. Now, since I redshirted, I will get to play with her again next year, too. Kristin: Honestly, I don't know if I could do it without her, and I tell her this over and over. Have you played together in the past? Sarah: She was a freshman when I was a senior in high school and together we won the state tournament for the first time in Chelan High School history with a 27- 0 record. It was one of the best years of my life, and I honestly don't remember a single fight we ever had during basketball season. If anything, it made us closer. How did you start playing basketball? Sarah: My dad is the one who got me started with basketball. He was lucky enough to have three girls and I was the oldest, so therefore I was the son he never had. He pushed me hard even when I hated it. I'm thankful he never let me give up. It has definitely paid-off in the long run. What's the most difficult part of playing with your sister on the same team? Sarah: Definitely the comparison aspect. It's hard when people compare us because it can cause unneeded and unwanted jealousy between us. I love her to death and I'm so proud of her, so it shouldn't matter who's better. How has playing basketball affected your relationship? Kristin: It surprisingly brought us closer. We were so afraid when I got into high school because everyone thought that we were going to kill each other on the court and in practice, but all it has ever done is bring us closer. We are closer now than we have ever been. I owe a lot to her for where I am now. Sarah Schramm Anderson to play with two former teammates • ANDERSON from 16 Kristin Schramm Were you competitive growing up? Kristin: Very competitive with everything we ever did — piano, sports, school, boys, friends, everything. compiled by Jamie DeVall Anderson said he is looking forward to playing with two of his former Highline teammates, Western junior guard Derrick Webb and junior center Zach Bruce. Webb said Anderson will be a dynamic addition to the team. "He's more of a facilitator," Webb said. "He does the right things to get other teammates involved and in the right position to score." Western head coach Brad Jackson said he has recruited Anderson throughout his high school and college careers and feels he will make a great addition to the team. "Morris Anderson has got excellent instinct — he's smooth, he can shoot the ball well and he'll be a great contributor to the team," Jackson said. "We are all looking forward to having him be a part of our team." Anderson said he is looking forward to contributing to a Western team that is off to a 5-1 start this season. "When I visited the campus a while back, I really liked the campus and the environment," Anderson said. "I'll have everything I need out here in Bellingham."

Not only are they a delightful way to pass the time, but they actually have positive effects. There are so many things that go into playing a single game. The hand and eye coordination some people have is absolutely extraordinary. Games can teach people to react quickly and accurately. Video games are fun and do not cause injury, except for the occasional case of carpal tunnel syndrome. A number of studies have been done on the effects of videos games on people. A study conducted by Shawn Green and Daphne Bavelier of the University of Rochester in New York discovered that gamers have better visual skills than people who do not play video games. They found the gamers could pay better attention to detail in busy scenes and handled distractions better. Playing video games can actually help people in potential careers. Surgeons who played video games for three or more hours per week were shown to have less margin of error during surgeries, according to a 2004 Associated Press article. I sometimes wonder why playing video games has not become a more recognized sport. For the last several years, a convention called Penny Arcade Expo has been held in Seattle. The expo has competitions where people from all around can compete. Last year, the Penny Arcade Expo welcomed a crowd of 37,000 people. Video games bring all sorts of people together. You can compete with another person without physical confrontation. Who has the fastest reflexes? Who has the nimblest fingers? Games such as World of Warcraft can be played on servers with people from all over the world. Games such as Dance Dance Revolution encourage activity and exercise. Games such as Halo 3 encourage teamwork. I do not think violence in video games should be a deterrent from the many positive effects of playing. Video games have ratings which should be adhered to. We are slowly evolving into a more technological nation. Someday we will all be learning work skills through video games. Grab that guitar and be a hero. Play on. TX% Awes CP«W-uneo' SUCCESSFUL vR lt;»ERtes UKC THtSONCTHMI rrHAHK-THCHAW-FBBM VtDFO lt;*AME*\ illustration by Caleb Long Fresh-faced reporters every quarter The Western Front staff turns over every quarter, so don't let mistakes of the past haunt the paper's present BNE Opinion of the editorial board Westerners may not realize it, but The Western Front is a newspaper run by amateurs. Every quarter an entirely new staff takes over. Some editors and most reporters are working their job for the first time. The journalism department does its best to prepare reporters in their prerequisite classes, but not every reporter is ready to work at peak efficiency the first day. Mistakes are made. Sometimes we fail — but we learn from these failures. Mistakes are something The Western Front staff works hard to avoid, but perfection is difficult. For that, The Western . Front hopes Western staff, faculty, club leaders and other students will understand. The Western Front is a trial by fire for reporters and editors — it is a learning experience for a class of students. It is unrealistic to expect a person who has little experience interviewing or writing to write a Pulitzer Prize-winning article. The reporters for The Western Front are students taking more classes than just The Western Front. They have to juggle being a reporter with other classes and often a job as well. This is not to say The Western Front is neutral on the subject of errors. The Western Front holds itself to professional standards, and every mistake we make hits the editors and reporters hard. Misspelled names, misstated facts and misquoted sources can bring staff to tears with anger and frustration. While The Western Front fights to become a better paper and reporters learn to .become better journalists, some Westerners hold the mistakes of the past against those reporters working in the present. Do not let a bad experience with one rude or unprepared reporter taint your feelings for The Front. Instead, contact the paper and tell the editors their mistakes so the newsroom as a whole can learn from them. If you think there is a story that needs to be written, tell The Front staff. Editors and reporters are not always able to find every story on campus. The Western Front is a training ground for reporters. There is a lot of opportunity for beginning reporters to become better at what they do. Well-written, correct stories garner students a better grade than incorrect stories with few sources. The Western Front is not trying to attack anyone. The Western Front is trying to learn, so please, as a campus, be open to reporters and be willing to be interviewed. The more campus is willing to help the paper, the better The Western Front will be and the better the Western graduates will be as journalists. This is an institution of higher learning; let's all try to help the next group of reporters for The Western Front learn. The editorial board is comprised of Editor-in-chief Matt Gagne, Managing Editor Brady Henderson, Opinion Editor Maureen Tinney, Student-at-large Robert Marshall and Program Manager for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences Catherine Shornick.

But as far as signing up for general university requirements, I think underclassmen should be able to sign up for them first. As underclassmen, the only classes we can take are the 'general university requirements because they are the prerequisites to getting into the higher-level classes. Since these are the only classes we can take, we should have the opportunity to take the classes we want. The way the system works now, upperclassmen get first crack at the classes they didn't take as underclassmen and are taking these classes just to fulfill credit requirements. Underclassmen are forced to take classes they didn't want or are not even interested in. We are all paying the same amount of money and we should have the same access to the classes. We shouldn't be denied classes we are interested in just because upperclassmen chose to take lighter loads their freshman and sophomore years. By the time freshmen get to register for the winter and spring quarters, all the small classes and the classes that have more favorable times are taken. This forces freshmen who still are not acclimated to college life to have a weird schedule of classes they are not interested in. This furthers their chances of not going to classes, not studying and not succeeding. It is not just upperclassmen that are working while also attending school full time. As a freshman, I have to work to save money for college expenses. When I am forced to take classes that are at odd hours, it makes it nearly impossible to sign up for work schedules. Western needs to change the registration system to better accommodate all the students that pay tuition to the school.

J Cost of Registration, Board and Room, and Incidentals WrH Not Be Above One Hundred Dollars. With the promise of fine new Jab-oratories before the quarter is over, the Normal classes at Friday Harbor begin next Monday, June 18. About thirty students are expected to enroll for the two courses in animal and plant biology. Several courses will be offered by the University of Washington, and with several men of nation-wide and even world fame on the staff, an exceptionally large attendance is ^expected. In past years the entire enrollment has been about 135. Classes Larger I t is thought that Normal classes may be larger this year because the work has been voted acceptable for the required extra quarter for a life diploma. The Puget Sound Biological Star tion ranks as one of the best schools for the study of marine life in the world. Its location assures it a wealth of unusually varied material to work with. The fauna and flora of the islands is studied as well as the marine life itself. Work and Play Seven hours of the day are devoted to classwork, and this classwork is all devoted to one subject. Whatever one of the courses the student decides to take he registers for, studies for seven hours daily, five days a week, with additional study in the evenings if he finds it necessary, and at the end of the quarter-he receives thirteen credits for the work. Expenses this year are expected to run' between eighty-five and one hundred dollars, for the entire course. This will include all books and incidentals, as . well as rent, board and fees. Very little is spent on amusements by most students. The station is located a mile and a quarter across the bay from Friday Harbor and even then there are few places to spend money. Clothes cost little. Good rough hiking clothes with such shoes as will best stand the salt water, are generally used. Much Recreation Chances for recreation are numerous. Often the class spends the entire day or least half a day on the boat hired by the station to do the dredging, or exploring along shore in row boats. Each weekend trips to various points of interest around the Sound are taken. Each "year the crowd visits Cattle Point where the old American Fort Used to be at the time of the San Juan dispute. Later they visit the place where the English were stationed at that time, now called English camp. Other trips include an over-night visit to the top of Mt. Constitution, a cruise to Speiden Island where many fossils are found and a day at Bare Island and Gull Eock to look at the sea- For 20 years' this paper has | I carried the name "The Weekly j I Messenger."

Assembly Will Hear Musical Programs on Tuesday and Friday Two musical programs will feature the assemblies for next week. On Tuesday morning, Mrs. F. X. Hodgson, contralto, of Vancouver, British Columbia, will sing; and on Friday, The Williams Trio, a Bellingham organization, will play. Mrs. Hodgson has never appeared here before but has twice been winner of highest vocal honors in the British Columbia Musical - festival, and has ..-appeared in many concerts and recitals in the larger cities of the province. Her voice is described as clear and colorful, with plenty of power. Each quarter the Williams Trio gives a program in the assembly. This quarter they will appear one week from today. It is an organization of Bellingham musicians composed of Miss Maude Williams, pianist; Mr. John Roy Williams, violinist, and Mi-. Paul Lusterman, cellist. Their program includes the works of several of the most famous composers for the stringed instruments. o The Faculty Forum and the Women's League will together give an all-school afternoon informal tea next Monday, June IS, at four o'clock in the Blue Tcoom at Edens Hall. It has been planned to give the students an opportunity to meet each other and the faculty. Tea will be served during the afternoon, followed by a program of greadings and musical selections. An orchestra will play before and after the program. The students and faculty will be received by Miss Hilda Rosine, Women's League adviser, President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Miss Adelo Jones, Dean of Women and Women's League adviser, Naomi Chase, Women's League president, Miss Mary Rich, director of the Training School, and Miss Emma Erickson, president of the Faculty Forum. Those who will pour at the tea are Miss Mary Rich, Miss Linda Countryman, Naomi Chase and Alice Husted.. Edna Working, program chairman, is working with Mr. H. B. Smith. Jean Marquis who has charge of the serving girls, Lea Toff, Viola Poy-honen, .Virginia Bever, Mae Dillon, Fanny Jones, Louise Stiger, and Irene Larson. Golda .Abel and Dorothy McCool will work with Miss Marie Druse on the decorations and Miss Georgia Gragg will advise Golda Abel on the invitations. Miss Alice Longley will help the girls prepare refreshments. A new $260,000 building is now ready for use by the students attending the summer session of the Normal school. The dedicatory exercises for the library were held last Tuesday, June 5, Dr. James I. Wyer, director of the New York State Library delivering the principal address on the subject of "Books Versus Battles," before an audience of 800 in the auditorium. Dr. W. D. 'Kirkpatrick, of Bellingham, chairman of the board of trustees of this school accepted the library from Architect Carl F. Gould of Seattle. The invocation and later the dedicatory prayer and bene- Miction were pronounced by the Rev. Canon E. B. Smith, of St. Paul's Episcopal church. A mixed chorus, which included Mrs. Paul P. Wells, Harrison Raymond and Raymond Bright, as soloists, sang two numbers accompanied by a twenty-piece orchestra which rendered one selection in the middle of the program. The library stands as the completion of a twenty-year dream of Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, librarian. The general reading room on the second floor, has aroused the most favorable comment of any room in the building. As one student remarked, "I just enjoy sitting and looking about me."

Hike Program Now Complete "Old Salts" To Be Relieved of Moss By Collegiate Atmosphere of Normal "Hello, old top!" "Hello! How's yourself ?"—and the solemn-eyed old grad with the lines of decision around his mouth slaps ' t he stude fraternally on the back and attempts to turn back the hands of time. That's always the way with these old students who flood back with the tide over the Normal every summer quarter. Collegiate? They'll do their best to catch the spirit. Plus-fours, two-by-four ties, hot . socks, and cigarettes for the men—-shorter v skirts, three-cornered ties, half-grown hair for. the women. Of course at first they seem a little awkward--- but give them a. chance! , w This year's .sophomore remembers some of the old salts when they first stepped from the halls of this institution, young, and fresh, and ready to take the Avorld by storm. Even those who have only been out a year have changed. Dignity, that's what they've acquired, chins that tilt a little more definitely, a stride that plainly says—'Tm a* teacher." Probably it's, our duty to help brush away the fine fuzz of moss that threatens to grow over them. The faculty will show them a little more of what they already have learned—^i.e., that there is still knowledge in the world, for them to glean—and as for the undergraduates TT-they'll mix them up faster than a milkshake machine. : v \ i i Bureau Places Many Teachers Teachers are still receiving contracts for next year's positions daily. Eighteen have been reported to the Appointment Bureau during the past week. Four of these have been placed directly through the bureau.

To six hundred students of this school, who have once seen the doors close behind them, only to open again as they return, the paper and the other students extend a welcome. But another welcome, deeper and more significant, is expressed silently to all. This welcome comes from the spirit of the school, and is expressed partly through the Viking, and partly through the students, but mostly without the use of written or spoken words. We are glad to be here together. Since many of those who have returned attended this school before, changes have taken place. Upon one side of the campus has been erected a remarkable edifice, the new library. New faces are to be seen, but many of the old faces are here. Andstill, regardless of the fact that some of the scholars are different, that the buildings have changed somewhat, the school is the same. This is the same Normal which first opened its doors thirty years ago. The same spirit which then prevailed and made it a school among schools is still present. l So, in a larger sense, it is not the students of this school who welcome you back, alumni, it is not the buildings which beckon you on. It is the school, that intangible something which should remain if the buildings were destroyed, if the students were all to leave. It is the Spirit of the BeUingham Normal, a spirit which all will recognize as a force which beckons students on to heights for the honor of, the school. The Northwest Viking, the organ of the school, and a part of that spirit, speaks for all, for the students, the buildings and the spirit of the school, and, at the beginning of a new quarter, welcomes everyone to the BeUingham Normal and wishes that the year may be one abundant with success and happiness. V. V. V. MIRE tionni Hen Caifr A HOMECOMING x iie summer quarter is a homecoming one that many old grads have been looking forward to for a long time; a time for greeting old friends, and renewing old acquaintances. However, among these familiar faces we see many new students and teachers who have come here from distant places to take advantage of an excellent educational program combined with one of recreation that is unsurpassed. Our school is glad to greet the returning students and happy to welcome the new. School days here are happy days. Pause from your work long enough to enjoy the beauty nature has placed about us. Take part in some sport, whether swimming, mountain climbing or one of the other forms of athletics. Keep up the friendly spirit for which BeUingham is renowned, and you will enjoy a never-to-be-forgotten summer at the Normal by the mountains and the sea. G. O. OUR NEW LIBRARY Our new library is a symbol of the progressive spirit of our school. Indeed, to us who have been teaching and have come back for additional work, the majestic building is a dream realized. The colorful beauty of the spacious reading room lends a feeling of serenity to the place. This is indeed inspiring to us who remember the library as a crowded stack-room where seats were at a premium and study was almost impossible unless one was blessed with a super-ability to concentrate. We are fortunate to* be the first to enjoy the privilege of this new treasure house. Let us show our appreciation by using it with consideration and respect. c. c. THE CAFETERIA QUESTION The cafeteria question, like all other questions discussed, has two sides and must be considered from both points of view. It is true that conditions which are unpleasant exist at present, but it is equally true that students are responsible for the present plan of serving. In the past they have not given real support to the dining hall. There are always those who kick about the price of an article and those people are in evidence in the dining hall when they complain about the expense. One difficulty is that in the past rates have been so rea-. sonable that students have been "spoiled." The majority of students who have returned for the summer will have to admit that they have paid far more for their board while teaching than they are doing here and after all hoard furnishes the same purposes in the summer as in winter. Students may help greatly on the matter of lunches by eating either early or late, depending upon their class schedule. Those who have no one o'clock class could eat at 12:30 and those not having an eleven o'clock class could go at 11:30, thus relieving the line. However, if this plan worked out with the co-operation of the students, .does not give relief, it is evident that something will have to be done. There is still to be considered the phase of social relationships discussed in a student opinion article. C. J. N. CLUB SPIRIT The opening of the summer quarter brings as usual a number of old students who are returning for further work. They rejoice to be back among old scenes and old friends. Some of their keenest recreational interests were in the clubs, where they knew a spirit of comeraderie that far exceeded ordinary good-fellowship of the campus. Now that they are back again they naturally wonder how the old club is progressing,— who are the present officers, how to get in touch with that fraternal spirit in the club, again. Here's where the" club should function, to show that the bonds of club membership hold thru the years.—That a person once a member is always a member. Club officials, it's your first move! E. H. SUMMER'S OPPORTUNITIES How can we make the most of our opportunities this summer? Are we taking the courses we need? Perhaps an inquiry made among students who have been teaching would show what courses would best fill our needs. If, after a ^series of inquiries made of different groups of students, a correlation is found, steps could be taken to fill those needs according to information secured by offering courses during the summer session to accommodate the needs which seem to be the greatest. ]\yf / ] Study '5 I've learned at least one thing .

NAMES A R E DRAWN Places in Ladder Tournament Determined with Drawing Names; Hard-Fought Battles Predicted. OTTLED (/BOND A comprehensive men's intramural sport program for the summer quarter, including a varied group of athletics, is scheduled to open next week, when play will open in basketball, tennis, horseshoes and handball. Play in a fifth sport, baseball, is scheduled to open the second half of the quarter. As in the past, a majority of the men in school are expected to take part, with most of them entering into activities in several sports. Basketball League Opens Basketball is scheduled to open early next week when play begins in a four-team league composed of the Philos, Married Men, Thespians,-and an independent outfit. Competition ' is expected to be keen, with last summer's championship Philo line-rip practically intact and favored to repeat. Bob Fisher, Theo. Norby, The two Beighles, Roy Arnett, and "Nick" Bond expect to again take the title for their club, although the Married Men, with Earle Jewell, Carl Hoggatt, Sam Carver, and others, look especially good. Tennis Tourney Good With practically all of last quarter's racquet wielders signed up, this summer's tennis tournament, also commencing activities next week, promises to be the best in years. Bob Fisher, two-year letterman, is favored to take honors, but will undoubtedly find much competition in Theo. Norby, Nick Bond, Warren Boynton and Ham Church. Norby and Boynton are both former intramural winners, while Bond was third man on this, year's tennis varisty, so a world of good tennis may be looked forward to. As a result of initial drawings made Wednesday by Coach Sam Carver, the men are placed on the ladder in the following order: Fisher, Allison, Ray Jewell, Boynton, Bond, Norby, Church, Schnebly, Brock, Ok-erland, Duncan, Earle Jewell, Fairbanks, Hayes, Van Etten, Schneider Hinthorne, Mitchell. Horseshoes Entries Although not generally ranking as a major colegiate sport, horseshoes here as elsewhere, is a major activity during the summer. While it usually fails to capture many adherents during the winter quarters, it always comes into its own during the summer months. Already this quarter's tournament gives promise of developing a classy brand of barnyard golf, with winners of three former tourneys signed up. A ladder tournament to last all quarter is to get under, way Monday, when the twelve men signed up and others who may be added before that time, swing into action. The following were signed up Thursday afternoon on the ladder, and will open in the order given: Brock, Fram, Ruthruff, Okerlund, Jones, Hayes Ray Jewell, Baxter, Patterson, Earle Jewell, Bardon, Van Ettan. Of the three former tourney winners, Earle Jewell is most favored to repeat,- being in better shape than his rivals who have been off the firing, line all spring. Don Patterson, who captured honors last summer, may pull a surprise, however, as may Floyd Van Ettan, titleholder in the summer of 1926. Handball Starts The regular summer handball tourney is also scheduled to get under way Monday, when a classy field will commence an assault on the top rung of the ladder now held by AI Sims. Several' former court stars are among the thirteen men signed up, and a hotly-contested competition is predicted. Harold "Firpo" Ruthruff and Earle Jewell are favored to end up in the first position, although any one of a number of dark horses may walk off with'the honors. Signed up on the ladder Thursday afternoon were the following: Sims,/ Brock, Ray Jewell Mitchell, Hayes, Jones, Baxter, Okerlund, Earle Jewell, Vert, Franz, Ruthruff, Van Et- ^Mil^-^'i-1^y ^ ' - : '•;••• ':'•,'•" lt;•'.- ''••,'•;%• All, ha, Lafayette wc arrive. Isn't it keen to see all the old students back again? We claim that the summer quarter is the best old quarter of the year. ' Everybody soon gets to know everybody else, which results in many good times. Old Philo's and old Thespians, in fact the pick of the State of Washington attend this school in the summer time. What burns me up is. the fact that it only lasts eleven weeks. Then too, ,one has to take into consideration the fact that there are a gi'eat many absent-minded professors , teaching here. Only the other day one- of them gave his fingernails an examination and cut his class. * * * # The punch at the dance Wednesday was sure nip and tuck. Most of us took a nip and then tuck another. WE PREDICT THAT ' REGARDLESS OF WHO EVER WINS THE FIRST GAME OF INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL, THE GAME WILL END WITH A BANG. * * * » The predominance in athletics this quarter is not football, basketball or any of the other five major sports. It is all of them. The program consists of intra-mural basketball and baseball. Various organizations of this school are expected to enter teams in the tournaments. Horseshoes, handball, and tennis will also bring out a group of contestants. It is expected that some real talent will be uncovered. At any event we are all assured of plenty of pleasure to mix in with our studies. * •» * * Good advice • to these intramural athletes might be to i smoke "Lxickies''* and make the varsity next year. » * -s * The best way for Sam to find out how many sweat shirts Beck has is to take half the number and multiply it by two. Summer Recreation Program Announced; Big Variety Offered Summer recreation will take on various forms this year including hiking, boat trips and play hours of sport and social dancing. Every Monday night at 4 o'clock, the women will be given the opportunity to turn out for archery, handball, and badminton, all coached by Miss Kathleen Skalley; horseshoes, ring tennis, and tennis, coached by Miss Therese Powdermakcr. Badminton is an English game but it is becoming very popular in the States. It is played with-a racquet smaller than a tennis racquet and with shuttle-cocks. New Archery Equipment Some now archery equipment has been secured from the Indians It is less expensive than that used in the past years, and could he easily reproduced by seventh and eighth graders. However it will not be necessary to purchase bows and arrows. Anyone can become an archer after he has once mastered the form. There are several handball courts back of the grandstand that should be used by the students for another purpose than tennis practice when the courts, are occupied. The game of handball will be taught toall who are interested. It is one of the few games that one can play and develop skill'without a partner, although it can be played with more than one at the game. Turnouts Scheduled If the scheduled plans meet with a big turnout, regular tour will be held in each of the SPORTS LUNCHEON CLOSES FIELD DAY "Charting the Course" is Subject of Talk Made by President C.

No more shall the agony of the registration line find itself the butt of the-vile jokes of the campus as weary students faint upon the hallways giving hollow groans of despair and exhaustion. Verily, ambitious school-authorities have outdone themselves in devising methods of torturing past endurance the footsore and weary students who come to this institution with'tears welling in their eyes as they cry for knowledge. Tortured Students Today we have a cafeteria, perhaps the most efficient means of torture yet devised by man upon the face of this mundane sphere. That the woes of a sorrowful life should be perpetuated indefinitely is bad enough, but, that on the day following registration they should be increased infinitely is beyond reason. lt;fWoe is we! Woe is we! Woe is we!" The cry rises from the parched and Hungry throats of eight hundred and fourteen students, who have missed three classes and stood in the pouring rain of a Puget Sound summer for three hours awaiting an opportunity to purchase food with the few pennies they have given their life blood to earn. "Give us food—give us food," croaks a despairing wretch, his voice taking on harsh- and rasping tones as it filters through cracked lips and parched cords. A few days ago, such a pitifully few days ago, he stood in line an upstanding and stalwart fellow, clad in the best raiment available, ready to do or die. And now, on the seventh day since, lie is almost done and dead. He has stood in this line without rest or respite. Neither food nor water has passed through his throat since the day the faculty told him to go to Edens hall for nourishment. Comrades Despair Despairing comrades standing near him, have aided him as best they could, but none of them dared leave the line, for. to attempt to /regain their place in line would cost their lives as they fought with hunger-crazed students. "Faculty intervention," we cry. "Spare our comrades—let them live. Shall we turn our campus into a burying ground for those of us who have died in an attempt to live? Give us food, but not that way! Let us live." f s r t i a l^ Change Schedule With registration practically completed for the summer quarter, the number of students to attend the session is above the expectations held by the administration of the school and is entirely satisfactory, according to a report given out by President C. H. Fisher.* The total number of those who will attend approximates 850, of which some are yet to register, the teachers from Seattle and Portland schools not yet being able to come to school. These groups will be here Monday. The registration this quarter showed a lower pre-registration number than usual, due to the fact that but few of the regular students stay for the summer session. This year the number registered previous to the opening of the summer quarter was about 300, leaving COO persons to stand in line on Monday. The opening of the new quarter, and this being the summer quarter, finds a large number of-'former students, prominent in the activities of former years, present again in the school. Many teachers are fulfilling the requirements of their districts for summer school attendance once in so many years while others are coming to meet the requirements for life diplomas or higher certificates. Hope for a successful quarter in school activities and off-campus recreation is held by the school authorities, who are gratified at the large number of persons who are to attend the school during the year. — o Photography Class Proves Attraction With' the beginning ofc' the I summer quarter, the operation I of-a cafeteria in the administra- | tion building and a dining room f in Edens Hall has been discon- II tinued, and meals to students are now being served cafeteria style at Edens hall only. The hours as announced by J managers are for week days: | Breakfast, 7:15 to 8; , lunch, j 11:30 to 1; dinner, 5:30 to 6:30. | On Sundays the schedule is dif- I ferent. Breakfast comes at 8 J I to. 8:30; the noon meal is din- j s ner and is served from 1 to 2; | I while there is no evening meal. | I The reason for 'tlie serving of | j but two meals on Sunday has J I been explained by Miss Coun- j I tryman, who states that, as j I most of1 the students do not "BeVmgtiam's Quality Store" J come for this meal, it is deemed j j advisable to discontinue it en- i f tirely. j i Students eating at the dormi- ] I tory were advised in assembly j j. this morning to come at the end | ., of the serving hours if they have j late classes, inasmuch as a line j '; usually forms early but is dis- | banded by the end of the hour. I The system willi work much | better, according to Miss Coun- j i tryman, if this plan is followed. | I • m—•« nu »n .«—no mi »« »4» The evening photography class, which meets every Tuesday night under the direction of H. C. Ruck-mick, announces a varied program for its meeting during the summer, besides a group of photographic hikes which will culminate in an exhibition at the end of the quarter. Industrial, individual, and group studies will be made on the hikes, and the following subjects will be studied throughout the next ten weeks: 1.—Types of cameras, their use, exposures, color schemes. 2.—Developing the print. 3.—Printing the picture. 4.—Enlarging. 5.—Principles of composition applied to scenic and group photos. 6.—Silhouette photography. 7.—Indoor pictures and flashlights. 8.—Special photographic processes; color prints, re-developing, intensifying, and reducing. 9.—Using lantern slides. 10.—History of photography. This class has been mapped out by Mr. Ruckmick as a culturally elective course to interest students in this work, as well as to develop amateur photography to a high degree. Student Opinion The executive committee of the International Eelations club extends a hearty welcome to all its old members and desires to bring to their note the change of name in the club organization. All former members of the World Politics Club are therefore invited to be active members of the club during the summer quarter and are asked to attend the first meeting of the summer to be held June 20th. Further announcement of the meeting will be made on the club bulletin board. Tryouts To Be Held Any students wishing to become members of the club are also welcome to attend this first meeting and be prepared to give a short tryout speech if they wish to join. A very fine program has been planned for ,the summer, which includes enjoyable as well as instructive programs. Conference In July Probably the biggest event of the year will be.vthe International Relations conference held in Seattle the first part of July. The club is planning to send a delegation to attend. There will be several well-known international men to speak at the conference as well as many prominent United States men such as ex-presi-deiit Taft, Presidents of the Universities of California, and Stanford, and Dean Martin, head of the Political Science department of the University of Washington, who will preside. Many international problems will be discussed at the round table meetings, with excellent speakers for the mineral meetings. A crowd of students that filled the big gymnasium to capacity turned out to get acquainted with, each other and to renew old acquaintances at the student mixer held Wednesday evening from eight to eleven-thirty. The room was decorated with rose and blue and the lights were shaded with those colors. Baskets of ocean spray and canterbury bells added to the decorative effect. Old students who have been back for the past year spent the evening introducing the people who have returned for the summer to the students of the quarter just past. Everyone evidenced a desire to be friendly and long before the intermission the crowd appeared to be quite as well acquainted as if its members had been together a month instead of a week. Intermission was spent in meeting newcomers and renewing friendships. The entire evening was given over to dancing and the floor was filled continually. Jay Curtis' orchestra furnished music. Faculty members in attendance were the Misses Adele Jones, Therese Peters, Kathleen Skalley, Mar y Cole, Anna McCorkle and Lela Culver; Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Hoppe, Mr. and Mrs. A E. Bond, Dr. and Mrs. F. S. Salisbury; and Mr. Edward J. Arnt-zen. Committees who worked on the affair were in charge of Miss Dorothy McCool. o Sale of Misses Slip-on Sweaters, Special, $1.95 Over two hundred and fifty people have signed up for the physical examination to be given Monday PPPPP

To it, Miss; Mary. E. Rich, director . of the training school, has given tireless attention to myriad detaijs and has applied her practical working knowledge of the everyday problems of a training school and its requirements.; Especially fortu-natejs the project in having for an architect! Bevan Jones, who is working right with the contractors - and clients making heruclean efforts to get a buUdtog which will efficiently ;ind effectively carry- out a specific, individualized program. Similar buUdtags tm*oughout the United States swere' extensively studied. ' Jones has visited; the , training schools in Ellensburg and Cheney and-was able to prof it from their innovations Jand experience. President Haggard has spent much of his time in conference and meetings about the building. Many difficulties have been encountered in obtaining supplies because of the government defense program but most of them have now bfeeh met ahd#ohes is quoted as prophesying that the building will be ready for-\ occupation about January 1,^ 1942.; Architecture Same •!•'" .Modified »m*ne architecture characterizes; the bullduigiyThe ; vs^e^K»ft tone bricks^ cornices,,if ^m^i-cpibred tile roof s^; and large Gothic windows : are ^typteal also ••".of tjhe library and physical education buildings with which it was planned to harmonize. According to, Dr. W. W. Haggard, "a governing principle has been to employ cheerful, vibrant, colors which will hold much appeal for the children and make the rooms pleasant arid bright." Certainly there is much evidence that it ' is a children's building and that there has been intelligent planning to meet the needs of children. For • instance, there are no stairs inside the building; gently sloping ramps are used. instead. Needed play space . was cleverly provided for in the" first floor plan which includes instead of a gymnasium; three large playrooms which will be much more practical for the children. The rooms' are similar to gymnasiums; two of them -are suitable "for active ball games and the other is adapted -for the use of the younger children. Auditorium Lovely To the back of the building tp-^ ward the hill is the auditorium which Miss Rich describes enthusiastically as a "thoroughly lovely room." The room will be carpeted attractively in cool green jasper and made charming by the intricate system Of recessed lighting.

A committee of fifty students was appointed lt; in spring quarter and chairmen of sub-com- '• mittees were named in charge of opening week affairs. This fall's program will begin Monday, September 29, when all entering freshmen are to. report to the auditdrium for a welcome by President .Haggard and Bill Hatch, ASB president. The entire first week of fall quarter has been planned to acquaint new students with the.,_Cpllege,V;.its. staff, and its facihtie^j^tc^rtafce care of all the formaUtie %bf*em'ollment and registration; and to initiate the year's extra-curricular, program.

During the registration period, faculty adviser* will meet the incoming freshmen, conferring with them oh problems of school life. These faculty members will act in an advisory capacity throughout the school year. Tuesday evening, a, mixer will ,;be held in the new gym to help get all newcomers acquainted with one another.

Editor Must Express Fhrewell In Words; Tears Will Come Later Its time again to write an editor's farewell. Without tears he must commit into a few lines his humble expression of appreciation of being allowed to handle a newspaper such as the Collegian. No newspaper, large or small, can be carried on properly by one person and many thanks must go to a tireless and cooperative staff. Congratulations to Eric Phillips who will succeed this editor in the Fall. His efforts and constructive criticism in the role of managing editor proves that he has the making of a great newspaper leader. Another bouquet to Wanda Barci for an excellent job of handling Collegian ads during the summer session. Inexperienced at the beginning, but always on the alert for a Collegian customer, she proved herself a valuable asset to the staff. Thanks to Frank German, sports editor, who stumbled into the office #at the beginning of the term and said, "I haven't had any experience, but I want to write." Write, he did. His column has been a popular one. ... -, More bouquets to Irene Fyhn and Bea Nilsen for a capable job of handling the society column. Expressions of appreciation go to the most important cog in the Collegian machine, the reportial staff which consisted of Josephine McNee, Betty Bird, Bernice Shellhammer, Betty RuSher, Del Boulton, Marilyn Manuel, and Marion Clarke. Their work took time and effort which can only be repaid by a written thanks— They're real reporters. Last but not least, another thanks to a swell faculty and student body. Being bothered by a nosy newspaper reporter at a very busy moment is disturbing, we know. But all of you deserve praise for the time you gave in aiding a Collegian reporter get a story. But before it is time for the last thirty—respects should be paid to the college's most busy man, President W. W. Haggard, who took a part of his week-end time to write a column story for the paper. Believe it or not, he never once missed a deadline. So now it comes time for the last line of the last editorial that this editor might ever edit for the WWCollegian. Its back to school to those lovable but ornery children. The summer's work is packed away in musty files and a new life waits ahead—Ah, me, such is life—but thafs thirty. Editorials From Other Colleges- A progressive step was taken this spring with the decision to give no more A-B-C grades for student teachers. Instead, the supervisor will file a careful opinion of the students work. President Tieje said something that many do not know, that the teaching grade never becomes, here, at least, a part of the placement office records, so superintendents rarely see the grades. It seems as though of all things to classify rigidly a student teacher's efforts would be about the worst. Where does B work stop and A work begin? Evidently the supervisors thought the same way during the lasst year, for they began to give A's almost arbitrarily to their student teachers. —The Cheney Journal. SUMMER SCHOOL By W. W. Haggard Last week it was pointed out that reading is essential to professional growth. Attending summer school is also an essential to professional growth. Many teachers each year because of summer school attendance return to their work with renewed interest and enthusiasm. The varied contacts on the campus offer something that books cannot convey. Thus far no substitute for the human personality has been provided by tech- 'nology, even though developments in this area have been almost fantaS-tiC. It is hoped that every individual on the campus this summer has grown professionally, and at the same time has found enjoyment. Several departments have offered augmented opportunities this summer, about which many favorable reports have been received. Some interesting and helpful features other than the usual course work have been provided. It is the hope of the College that a helpful and interesting quarter for teachers in the field may be provided next summer^ Suggestions will always be given thorough consideration. Th aere this, summerin his or herwork this coming school year. J ^r^m*^ B RJ5T SCHOOL OF AVIATION 1 IMCORg OWttb M THE RE006NHED CUttlCUUM OF M?

He is planning several special editions for the coming year and intends to give publicity to faculty departments that have been neglected in the past. "If I cannot be constructive, I will not be critical," said Phillips, in regard to his editorial policy. Phillips is a local boy. He was born in Massachuetts, however, and has a distinct eastern accent. Consideration of staff editors for the coming year are at .the present his . most serious problem.

LINFIELD CATS OPEN AGAINST VIKINGS After an absence of three years the Linfield Wildcats will again invade Battersby field on Saturday. September 27, to tangle with the WWC Norsemen. Under tutelage of a new coach by the name of ; Oakes, the Cats have a pretty fair ' ball club and will give the Vifeings a real test in their first encounter. Linfield opens early and the Qats will have a week's training experience over Lappenbusch's charges., "Don't sell us short." says Coach Lappenbusch, ''We'll be strong enough to give those Wildcats plenty of clawing." Ducats for, the game will sell at the same price as last year. Powers Chosen For Dean of Women Miss Alice L. Powers of Sioux City, Iowa, was named Dean of Women at Western Washington college by Dr. W. W. Haggard and the Board of Trustees this week according . . to an announcement from the President's office Tuesday. '* "Miss Powers comes to WWC well recommended by educators in Iowa where she has been connected with personnel work for several years," said President Haggard. The new dean who replaces Mrs. W. D. Kirkpatrick (Florence Johnson) is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin. She obtained her master's degree from the University of Iowa and has done graduate work in education and personnel work at other mid-west schools. Miss Powers resigned as dean of girls at East high school in Sioux City to accept the jWWC position. She formerly was principal of the Belmont, Iowa high school. While on her vacation, Miss Powers visited the Western college campus recently and met several members of the faculty. This was her second trip to the northwest, and according to Dr. Haggard, likes it very much here. Miss Powers also will fill Mi* Johnson's position as Director of Edens hall. FRANK TUCKER RECEIVES AVIATION PROMOTION Word was received here from the United States basic flying school at Bakersfield, California, telling of the graduation from that school on August 15 of Frank Tucker. Western Washington college student. Tucker left college last year to enter aviation school. He will be transferred to the advance classes at Phoenix, Arizona. Following completion of study there he will be commissioned a first lieutenant in the army reserve flying corp. Tucker was Homecoming chairman last year. Student Union Needs Support By Bernice Shellhammer How about a student union building, room, anything to serve the social need of WWC? Are you willing to help out with a slight increase in student activity fees, two-bits, or maybe four-bits? Committees have slowly but surely reached the end of the line and are ready to get off for approval of their plans. Dr. W. W. Haggard and students working on the scheme have considered the small training school gym. However, it will-be necessary to wait until the new training school is finished before definite plans can be made. Proposed plans for this student project includes a'widening of the stairway going down into the gym, a fireplace, and a small kitchenette, in order that tea or light lunches can be served to small parties. General decorations will be rustic with appropriate furnishings, a piano, and a radio-phonograph. Dr. Haggard has stated that the school will stand all expenses except the furnishings and that is where the plan of an increase- in activity fees, or some other means of obtaining the necessary amount, will be considered. - , According to Polly Phelps, who has worked hard on this idea, "A room of this sort will make for more social contacts, through small parties, dances, teas, etc., supervised by student committees sponsored by the Norsemen or the AWS." The committee for next year who will go on carrying the torch for student union activity is composed of Frank Shiers, Art Clark, and Jim Junkin. Mr. Loye McGee is the .faculty superviser.

If the summer has been warm for serious work, it was perfect for the enjoyment of Puget Sound's beauty spots. DARIGOLD wishes you pleasure and profit as you return to your chosen field. WHATCOM COUNTY DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION PHONE 314 BELLINGHAM LYNDEN Above are pictured (if you look close) two of the photos submitted in the annual summer salon of Photography which ended yesterday. The salon was under the direction of H. C. Ruckmick's industrial arts 105 class. stage. This innovation was modified and adapted for use here from the auditorium in Ellensburg. The steps are found to facilitate group participation in programs and to make the stage much more usable. Also on the first floor is the nurse's unit which consists of an examination room and a rest room. The beautiful and efficient executive off ices are on this floor. Each office has a large dormer window. There are cloak rooms for student teasellers and observation classes, and an entire unit of rooms and offices for student teachers teaching in the city. Lockers and showers are provided for college student janitors, (so, although the building is primarily a child's school, no phase of the work taking place there has been neglected.) The class room unit plan which was inaugurated^at Cheney and found very practical is used in WWC's new building. Each class room unit consists of the main class room, a work room, a store room and an office which may also be used for conference work. Units for the pre-primary, first and second grades, are on this floor. Each room was planned to have a natural attractive irregular corner which may be used in a variety of ways. The second floor is occupied by units for grades 4, 5, and 6. The beautiful cafeteria on the second floor is to be panelled in knotty pine and have a fireplace at one end. The music room is also on this floor. All the new type fixtures have been tested in the present training school and carefully selected. WORKSHOP GROUP HOLDS LAST GET TOGETHER With the idea of getting together for the last time before summer school ends, the Workshop group held a luncheon last Monday noon in the.

You couldn't even get by. the ,EngIish test, besides you're taking too heavy a course as it is. Before I could ponder over this, theih%kling second self, getting-bolder again chirped, '"They might makeryou an editor. What do you know about running a newspaper? Gosh, I'd have to drop a course . . . I can't do that \..: ,..';.; ;~ r- I made a right-about face and proceeded to slip back down the steps before they; could pull me into their lair. Suddenly I stopped. "Why not go to the door-—it will be locked, anyway. If it is unlocked, nobody will'b^ .there .:. .then .I've done my part." I again turned and approached that forbidding door. It opened, and there stood the editor looking inquisitively up at me. I started bravely, "In regard to your announcement on the bulletin." He rubbed his eyes, jumped up and shouted for the janitor to lock the door. A!nd so began my start as sports editor. Thus my name has appeared at the head of a column which at times I have, contributed less than. a quarter of the material. The editor very kindly often added his own remarks whether I liked them or not. Before closings I would like "to throw a bouquet in the general direction of Mr. Lappenbusch. Although our athletic program has ben a little slim this summer, he has always been very" cooperative and a^pleasure to work with. Two weeks ago your sports scribe hinted at the resignation of Leo Nicholson as head coach of the Ellensburg Wildcats. Very recently this rumor was confirmed by the local papers. After eleven years at the helm of the Wildcats, Nicholson is stepping out of the picture as head.coadh of the Central Washington institution. He will remain, however; as chairman of the Health and physical education division and will continue to coach basketball, tennis, .arid golf. Phil Sarboe, former Washington State Cougar star and Aberdeen high school coach, will succeed' ruly-haired Kick. George Mabee, who also came from Aberdeen, will remain as assistant football coach and also will serve in the capacity of Wildcat track mentor. Nick came to Ellensburg in 1929 from the Bothell high school. He succeeded Roy Sandberg who later coached the College of Puget Sound Loggers. Sarboe had been at Aberdeen for two years. He played professional football with the Chicago Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers and coached at Clarkston high school after his graduation from Washington State. Sarboe's replacement of Nicholson gives the WINCO conference three Washington State graduates.

Highs in the 50s. The Western Front April 17,1990/Volume 82, Number 21 Western Washington University please recycle Fairhaven continues to debaterelocation By Mark Sabbatini staff reporter Acting Provost Roland Delorme said he is leaning toward therelocation of Fairhaven College to Western's main campus and expects to make a final report toPresident Kenneth Mortimer early this week. DeLorme met with Fairhaven students and Faculty April 13to discuss their' concerns before making his final report. He said he expects a final decision fromMortimer soon after it's presented. "I am, at this point, leaning toward agreeing that relocation makessense, for a number of reasons," DeLorme said. "But I am also increasingly aware of the intensity offeelings about location, and I deeply respect those. It may make my report very difficult to write, but I amglad I choose to spend the day listening." DeLorme received a petition signed by more than 200Fairhaven students and alumni calling for the preservation of Fairhaven's resources. Drafted at a forumApril 10, it listed as "essential guiding principles" that Fairhaven have independent control of facilities, noloss of existing resources and a contiguous campus. While DeLorme said his visit and the demands ofthe petition eliminate potential relocation sites of Miller or Arntzen Hall, some possibilities remain thatcould fulfill these demands. "I think one good example of a possibility would be College Hall," he said,adding that nearby theater space would still be needed. The top floor of Old Main is another alternative.Mark Peterson, one of the students organizing the petition, said keeping Fairhaven's basic structure intact has replaced moving as the major concern, and he doesn't believe enough study has been done toaddress it. He (DeLorme) doesn't really understand about how this space is being used from just oneday, and this is the day before he's going to write the proposal. I would say he needs to spend a lot moretime here before he can make decisions about what's for the good of the college," he said. Others calledFairhaven "sacred ground" and said too many things, such as the Outback farm and natural setting wouldbe lost in a move. "I think any recommendation that we move from here would just be a serious violationof the feelings of the people who are here," one student said. "This whole space, the staircases, thesculpture, the pond, the trees—you can't replicate that anywhere else." Alumnus Paul DeArmond saidthe decision making process didn't allow adequate feedback from the public. "There's not a scrap ofpaper on public record. It strikes me as being a fairly standard technique of manipulating the process, toclose off all record of it and do whatever you want," he said. He said people's initial reactions to thepossibility of relocation could be taken in action, such as a boycott of donations or a legal examination ofthe decision making process may be considered if Fairhaven relocates. However, no action of this kindhas taken place. He said he hopes students remain involved. "I trust the wisdom of the Fairhavenstudents in guiding their own faith. The students have participated in both choosing and losing deans inthe past and maybe it's time to do that for a president," he said. A Native American dressed in traditionalcostume was one of the many Native Americans who filled 11§§^^ By Julie Fancey !|||ji||pi|||||ll||| offilms, speakers, panel discussions by The Pacific War Dance Council at Western's fifth annual Pow Wow Ic6uncilitm^ jllliiiiliiiiliii Quake shakes county; awareness necessary By Peter Donaldson staff reporterWestern Washington has a real possibility of having an earthquake that could measure as high as 9.5 on tne'Richter scale, said Linda Noson, an authority on earthquake activity in the Northwest. TheEarthquake Preparedness Committee for Western Washington invited Noson to speak on earthquakes at Fairhaven College, April 12. Movement of the Earth's crust or plates is the primary cause of earthquakesand the unstable geology off of the Washington coast creates dangers, Noson said. Myrl Beck, ageology professor at Western, said he has seen the aftermath of such an earthquake—ocean linerscarried hundreds of yards up a river, buildings toppled like toy blocks and the demolition of an entire cityas if it had been erased off the map. An earthquake, which was centered around Deming; shookWhatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties at 10:33 p.m., Friday, April 13 and measured about 4.5 onthe Richter scale in Bellingham. It was followed by at least two aftershocks, stated an article in the April14 edition of the Bellingham Herald. The earthquake measured 5.1 on the Richter scale in Deming,said Greg Sahlow, an operator for KPUG radio station in Bellingham. Jo Baumgartner, aCommunication Officer for the Washington State Patrol, said no one was injured and the only damagesthat occurred were at the Canadian Port of Entry at the border. State Route 543 was shut down from11:12 p.m. Friday to 11:18 a.m. Saturday, which slowed traffic flow across the border. Anotherearthquake, which occurred April 2, centered just north of Deming measured 4.4 on the Richter scale. Itwas followed by about five aftershocks, the Herald stated. The earthquake that hit San Francisco inOctober 1989 measured 7.1 on the Richter scale. Calif ornia' s plate movement, visible in the SanAndreas Fault, generates a linear occurrence of earthquakes in a confined area. In Washington, wherethe Juan de Fuca plate is subducted under the North American plate some miles offshore, activity ismore scattered and unpredictable. Washington is therefore far less prepared to pinpoint the location of,as Noson put it, "the big one". Building construction remains an area of concern. In 1975, the stateadopted a uniform building code for safety. But the codes are continually revised making it difficult for construction to maintain consistent standards. "This leaves places like Satsop in question," Nosonsaid. Satsop is the nuclear power plant southeast of Olympia. Noson mentioned the most susceptiblematerial for earthquake damage is reinforced concrete. "Washington still builds schools out of this stuff." Another severe problem earthquakes cause is communication breakdown. "Emergency vehicles andservices become victims as well," she said. "They can't function immediately afterward and must usuallybattle large fires or structural collapse, such was the case of the freeway collapse in Oakland lastOctober. There is little time for personal attention," she said. Noson suggested an earthquake emergency plan should not rely on the telephone. She said residential areas should prepare for isolation for up to 72 hours. The most important thing for an individual to do is to protect the head and neck. Crouchingunderneath desks is a good idea, Noson said. She showed a slide of the recent Mexico quake whereschool desks actually supported the complete collapse of a three story building. If the victim is outside,he or she should head toward the nearest open space. Stay away from power lines and stop driving anyvehicle. Seismologists predict a large earthquake, of magnitude 6.0 or higher, to occur in WesternWashington about every 30 years. Noson said, the last major quake, centered in the Tacoma area,happened in 1965. "As the time between quakes increases, the probability of it occurring increases,"she said. "The best thing you can do is be prepared," Noson said. ---------- Western Front - 1990 April 17 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front News Tuesday, April 17,1990 Iliii^iiHiiiB^BSl identified by police and the permit l l l l l p l l l l i l i l l l ^ B I I li IBlBiH^HiiiiiiJIwiiiB^ lliiMlliiH^^^HiBl^B! !ll»BiiiiilSliBBiiii^iiiBi who has madeobscene phone calls New center planned for ethnic groups t % W j W j i i . w . . . . . .^ The AmericanWater Resources Association will sponsor "Achieving Water Quality: Public Involvement, Oversightand Dialogue," a lecture by Charles Mosher.

"There is no pressure to talk, but if you have something to talk about everything iswelcome."Rughani said. Throughout this week, the Associated Students will sponsor a voter registrationdrive. Three booths will move around campus to register as many students as possible. . Friday is the last day to register and still be eligible for the May 22 election. Even if a person is registered inanother county, he or she may want to register in Whatcom County to be eligible to vote for theGreenways Initiative.

If approved, the Associated Students Board will provide $34,000—over two-thirds of the $49,000 annual operating budget of the new facility, AS President Kent TTioelke said. Theethnic center will be on the first floor of the Viking Union and will provide office and work space for ethnicgroups. "We've made a commitment to produce an environment that is conducive and enjoyable toethnic students so they will want to stay here," Thoelke said. Five organizations will make up the core ofgroups planning to move into the new facility, including the Black Student Network, Native AmericanStudent Union, MECHA (Hispanic/Latin Americans), Asian American Students' subcommittee andthe International Club. "Currently there is no place for minority students to come together," Thoelke said. Atissa Azar, Cross-Cultural Center coordinator, said the facility would be both a support center for ethnic students and a resource center for information about other cultures. "It will mostly be a place for supportprograms that will help ethnic and international students adjust to living in a predominantly white societyand to deal with culture shock," Azar said. Thoelke said the new 15,000-square-foot center will belocated in VU101, where the Grotto, a game room and video arcade, is now. The Grotto will move to theSasquach room, VA 350, which will become more of a community center. The center will include threeadvising and counseling offices, five semi-private rooms for meetings, a central work area and a receptionarea. As a result of the planned center, the first floor of the VU will become an activity center, housing the Environmental Science Center, AS Productions, the Outdoor Program, Valhalla and graphics andproduction support services. Azar said the center culminates a year and a half of effort by the CrossCultural Center and ethnic groups on campus. "It was through several committee meetings that we came up with this proposal," she said. 014 Town Cycles 703 W.

The monetary lossfor the production was $3,900. "We expected 700 to 800 to attend, and had seating for 1,000," said TimOsterholm, VOC coordinator. Instead 25-35 people attended the concert. "Disappointed, wasn't theword," said Eric Thornburgh, VOC assistant coordinator. "We are of course, sorry for the loss of somuch money, but it was a learning experience for the VOC. And we're in the business of giving peoplechances and letting them test new skills," said Theresa Bertrand, AS vice-president of activities. The AS usually funds major events, Oster-r holm said. However, the organization is usually able to reimbursethe students' money after a successful project, Bertrand said. The AS contribution was $3,000 to theevent, which paid for the performers, their transportation and boarding costs. The VOC lostapproximately $900 on publicity and preparation costs. The center organized the performance ofLogos, a 30-member music and dance ensemble, composed of human service professionals whoperform as a means of bringing awareness of social issues to the general public, Osterholm said. Theidea of the performance was to raise money for the Veterans' Education Grant, also known as thehardship grant. The money is used to financially assist veterans attending Western. "Planning this eventwas a quarter-long project," Thornburgh said. "We probably advertised this event better than any otherprogram," said Osterholm. Bertrand agreed, "They did the most outstanding job at publication. Anabsolutely perfect job." So, what happened? Osterholm and Thornburgh attribute the misfortune toseveral factors. The timing was poor and the St. Patrick's Day event was in competition with other holiday events occurring that evening. "It was also the week before finals, which might have made adifference," Thornburgh said. The group, Logos, based in Port Angeles, is not well known in this area."No one knew what they were going to see for sure," Osterholm said. The last factor Osterholmmentioned was the center needed to define their target audience better. "This was a family event aswell as being a social-cultural event." It may have been better aimed at the family unit if we had offered afamily admission of $15 on the ads." Thornburgh said. Week Continued from page 1 The weekend'sdancing, music and crafts were the culmination of efforts to create an increased understanding andappreciation of the Native American culture. Many people do not have time to learn about the NativeAmerican culture and its differences from other cultures, said Michelle George Native AmericanStudent Union president and coordinator of the week's events. History and culture is important toNative Americans and isn't any different than history is to people of other races, she said. "The thing Iwanted to get across is we're just like everyone else, even though it's not recognized," George said.Similar concerns were raised in a panel discussion during the week. George said white schoolsystems may be contributing to problems of low self esteem among Native American children bydownplaying the role of Indians in American history. The educational system tends to teach a one-sided view of the Native American. The role of Indians in the making of history tends to be downplayedarid, at times, is passed over, George said. This results in institutional racism. Native American childrenhave to learn about their culture outside of school. These children don't "have a high self-image until thetruth is taught," she said. Native American children learn their culture as they grow up. LearningIndians have made significant contributions to history, teaches Native American children their culture isvalid and helps raise a child's self-esteem about him or herself, George said. For the Native Americanstudent, it is painful to see a rich cultural heritage distorted in the chronicle of American history, shesaid. Many children are taught only the Thanksgiving day version of the relationship between the NativeAmerican and the early colonists, she said. History from an Indian perspective is also often neglected inthe school curriculum. What is often overlooked are significant contributions made by Native Americansto history and to the strife later developed between the colonists and the Indians, George said. "It'sunbelievable how much Indians have impacted America and the world," said Barbara Berger, a NativeAmerican student at Western M^n the computer you need to succeed in the real world and a chance touse it there TiyaMacintostfanden^ You could winaweekat one or these leading organizations and aMa(M)sh computer, M Enter April 2nd-April 30th at the Student Go-Op Bookstore See your CampusComputer Reseller for Sweepstakes Rules and Regulations. © 1990 Apple Computer.

"If we were shown for what we contributed and how our society was constructed, it would makesuch a difference," Berger said. Aside from changing the perspective of the role of the Indian inhistory, another concern of Native American Awareness Week was . getting across; a positive image ofpresent-day Native Americans. It is difficult to re-teach people what Native American's feel is the truth,George said. George said people tend to have some resistance to new information and to hear anotherview of history. Another point raised during the panel discussions was a Native American is an alien inhis own country. Leaving the reservation results in culture shock for many Indians unaccustomed tothe white man's way of life. ^ "I've had a hard time adapting to white culture," Berger said. White society is so different than life on the reservation, she said. One example in the differences between the twocultures is the emphasis on education. Native American students raised on the reservation live in aculture that doesn't stress formal education, Berger said. Many students leaving the reservation to goto school have trouble placing the same value of importance on education that white students do,Berger said. What the Native Americans want is for white society to "accept us as who we are, as anequal and valid culture," she said. People come to the reservation with an attitude of saving the Indian,George said. These do-gooders are sincere, but don't acknowledge the Native American people'sintelligence, traditions and cultural values. They don't take the time to learn about them, she said. Onepoint brought up during the week was Native Americans have become aliens in their own country. Thereservation life has kept the Indian culture secluded from the majority of American society, Berger said. . Putting the Native American on reservations and isolating their society and culture has resulted inpsychological death, Berger said. It's the emotional and spiritual death that results from the NativeAmerican culture not being accepted and considered valid by the white man's society, she said.

Beth Fries, assistant coordinator of the Environmental Center, wants people to stopusing disposable items. "I want people to remember there is no such thing as away. When you throwsomething away it stays with us, whether in land fills, air pollution or another type of pollution," Fries 'said. Each year Americans throw out 10 times their own weight in garbage and enough wood and paperto heat 5 million homes for 200 years, according to Seventh Generation magazine. Initially, bychanging a few habits at the store, we can make a difference in the environment. For example,Seventh Generation suggests bringing reusable shopping bags to the store instead of using paper orplastic sacks. Buy long lasting, reusable items and not disposable items such as plastic razors. Largeeconomy size products also cut down on garbage. Simply the less packaging the less garbage,according to Seventh Generation Although brown coffee filters may not be as appealing as white coffee filters, they are more attractive for the environment. Seventh Generation says the bleach used to make coffee filters white contains dioxins, The catalog offers more than 150 products to help the environment. Catalog shoppers can purchase paper plates from 100 percent recycled paper, organic baby food and asolar battery charger. The Environmental Center, an Associated Students organization, has a list of 42ways to be environmentally active in Whatcom County. Their belief is "environmentally sound products have positive results for the natural environment." "Recycle!" Fries emphasized. Recycle everythingsuch as paper, glass, aluminum and tin and dispose properly of non-recyclable materials. If you areuncertain about the recycling potential of any items or have any questions, call the Recycling Hotlineat 1-800-732-9253. The Environmental Center suggests purchasing organically grown food instead ofbuying at the grocery store. Great Harvest Bread Company, Joe's Garden and Fairhaven Flower Mill arelocal businesses recommended. The Environmental Center also suggests conserving water by puttinga brick in your toilet tank and reducing shower time. Join a local action group, such as the PugetSounders, and become familiar with local environment issues, carry your own coffee or soup mug andplant a tree every year. Local deforestation is an issue Fries said students can get involved with. "Mostof the remaining forests are state forests, so we all own the forests and we can make laws to protectthem," Fries said. "People have a lot of power and they need to use it to make a difference. "The mostimportant thing people can do is to write the government for legislation to help the environment.Particularly planting trees," said Rico Barnett of Puget Sounders. If you would like more information as to how you can help the environment, contact the Environmental Center at 676-6129 or PugetSounders at 676-8094.

By Bretha Urness-Straight staff reporter The first Earth Day, twenty years ago, occurred during the Vietnam War, racial tensions in the United States and social activism by the nation's youth. This was the yearafter Woodstock. The year the fashion industry tried to lengthen skirt hems from mini's to ankle length.The movie of 1970 was "M*A*S*H" and the hot musical groups were Creedance Clearwater Revival andBlood, Sweat and Tears. This was the year Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin died, unexpectedly.TheBrittanica, 1971 Book of the Year called 1970"a year of violence," with the killing of four students atKent State who were protesting the Vietnam War and the bloodshed in that war. ffl Jeff Langlowparticipated in the first Earth Day. He was a freshman at Washington State University. Langlow, aBelling-ham resident involved in local con^ servation groups, helped plan Western's Earth Day events.Langlow remembers the first Earth Day as a time of change. "Everything that we were brought up tobelieve was in question... (there was) a great raising of consciousness, a calling to Jf||lawareness." E a r t h J Day was part J§ of the grow- §§ ing move- §§§ ment for peace, not§§§ only for f§§ people but also for the I earth, Langlow said. 'It was the first time thesevalues and this type of awareness came to many of us." Langlow said.

"Never had there been so much state action than in 1970 to combat pollution and protect theenvironment," according to Brittanica. Again, there is a new awareness of the state of the earth bysociety. An awareness that was first seen in 1970. "I think there might be more awareness now," Lan-glow said. "I attribute it to the world situation." Langlow cited the threat of nuclear war to pastgenerations equal to the threat of environmental destruction to today's generation. "It was business asusual during the '80s. In the late '80s it's finally coming to the forefront,"Langlow said. Earth Day in 1970was supported by President ifis. Nixon and was the beginning of environmental awareness. In 1990, Earth Day will be supported by the Bush administration.

We are all cigarette butts in this ashtray that is the danger-riddenSunship Earth Take heed people, the 20th anniversary of Earth Day is upon us. And in the nick of time,too. With all these large corporations screwing up the planet and all, its up to the masses to dosomething about it. I was thinking about this very thing just the other day, as I brushed my teeth to thesound of tap water flowing down the drain. I was thinking about how one person really doesn't have any control over the environment. I realized one person can't possibly make a difference. With this dreadfulrealization spinning in my head, I turned on the television for a little dose of escapism. But all I couldfind was news so I turned the volume down on the T.V. and cranked up the stereo. Then I left theapartment. I needed to drive around a little bit and think about what one person could do in the face ofsuch clear and present danger to our Sunship Earth. I hopped into my four-wheel drive pick-up truck and tore off. Driving fast is a good outlet for a man's frustration. I love driving my truck, blazing down dirtroads and occasionally making roads of my own in my monster pick-up. My truck used to be prettygutless so I took the catalytic converter off. Now it really performs. I blazed down this dirt road offChuckanut Drive and continued to contemplate what I could possibly do to save the Earth againstcorporate destruction. A loud thudding sound brought me away from my thoughts. I'd just plowed intoa small doe that had strayed onto the road. Stopping and getting out of the truck, which I kept running, Istared at the inert body of the dead deer. ark Hines Icolumnist were out This is a real shame, Ilamented. If those damn corporations hadn't over-developed the area the deer would have some place toroam besides the roadways. Damn those corporations. I was so distraught over the death of the deer, Ihad to crack a beer. I drove on, tossing the beer bottle out the window of my truck as I blazed back ontothe main road again. I decided to sit down on a rock at Larrabee State Park and contemplate thebeauty of the planet. As I sat on my rock, drinking beer and flinging the empties into the beautiful bluewaters below me, I contemplated what one nature lover could possibly do to bring Exxon to theirknees. On my way home from Larrabee, I'd stopped off at an Exxon station to fill up. After putting aquart of oil in my truck JI'dTRrpwh. empty can on the ground and sped off. I always do that when I fill upat Exxon stations, just to let them know I'm not happy with their reckless regard for the environment Iknow this is nothing more than a symbolic gesture, but hell, it's all one man can do. If I had my way F dblow up all these damn corporations that reek havoc on our beautiful planet. "Death to the fascist robotthat preys on our Sunship Earth!" a devoted environmentalist and friend once exclaimed. I live by hiswords. I took one last toke on my cigarette and flicked the butt away, watching it float slowly acrossthe water. In that instant, I realized I was that butt... floating across the planet, with no say in my future, utterly powerless over my destiny. We are all butts, being blown to and fro across the ocean by theoppressive waves of the fascists robots — the CORPORATIONS. "Death to the fascist robot!" Iyelled as I stood up and urinated into the water. But what can one young environmentalist do againstsuch a force: against this great corporate monster that threatens our very existence? This thought hungheavily on my shoulders as I left my rock and headed home to the stereo and television that continued to play all afternoon, the dripping faucets, the open windows;, the cranked up thermostat...

It's a hasty decision.Consequences of moving the college have not been explored. Several meetings have occurred betweenthe administration and Fairhaven students and faculty. But the questions raised have not beenanswered and no mention has been made about what will happen to the departments already inhabitingthe choices for the new location of Fairhaven. Current residents of Miller, Artzen or College Hall may be in for an unpleasant surprise. Many Fairhaven students told Delorme they feel close to the current locationas they planted many of the trees. Delorme said he respected that fact and it made his decision evenharder. Pretty good public relations work, Roland. However, your concern doesn't begin to address theconcerns of the 200 Fairhaven students who signed a petition expressing their wishes to preserveFairhaven's resources and those taking place in today's rally against moving. Delorme said theadministration may move some of its offices to fill Fairhaven's void. The administration would benefit withbetter parking and more accessibility for visitors. Will accommodating visitors justify the expense ofdisplacing a distinct college and several departments? During the meeting, Delorme repeatedly calledFairhaven a "department," perhaps revealing how he and the administration view see Fairhaven: s future -^diluted of the qualities that distinguish it from the rest of campus. The Administration can't rush theirplan to bounce people around — more than just Fairhaven will be affected. The occupants of Miller,Artzen and College Hall haven't been asked how they feel about moving. The Administration needs tomeet and hear all people who would be affected by the move. For instance, the Front is one of theoccupants of College Hall. College Hall seems to be Delorme's prime choice for the new location ofFairhaven. Nobody has asked us how we feel about moving. So, Delorme, in case you're interested, weneed lots of space and light. Anyway, we sorta like it where we're at. The whole campus needs to haveinput into this decision which the administration wants to rush. Slow down and listen to the students.Kathy Tucker, editor; Linda Dahlstrom, managing editor, Sue LaPalm, news editor, Karen Lane Hingston,assistant news editor; Kurt McNett, Accent editor; Charlotte Anderson, assistant Accent editor; EdTreat, campus government editor; MattBaunsgard, features editor; Deven Bellingar, sports editor; DarrylCarr, assistant sports editor; Theo Gross, copy editor; Leah Linscott, copy editor; Shannon Fowler,typesetter, Tyler Anderson, photo editor; Maria Manliclic, production chief; Deanna Ottavelli, productionchief; Garth Mix, illustrator; Pete Steffens, adviser.

WlChris Von Seggern staff reporter r,hat's wrong with me? I can't figure it out. All the people 'in themagazine ads and television commercials seem to be having so much more fun than I am. Everybodyelse has everything they want and life is perfect, if they just use the right products. I saw it on TV, soit must be true. Of course, it's not unreasonable to want everything. Life would be impossible if it wasn'tfor all the little comforts. I just don 't know how I'd survive without Salad Shooters, padded toilet seats orNintendo. Nintendo. Now there is a great invention. Why exercise when you can play the same gamesfrom the comfort of your living room couch? Who cares if we're raising a generation of fat little couchpotatoes with the brain activity of a road kill? Americans don't need to think, anyway. Another few years at this rate and all our thinking will be done for us by foreign investors. I don't want to think. As an averageAmerican, I see no reason why I should have to work for anything. I want it all and I want it now. Nohassles. It's plain for anyone to see that convenience is the most important thing in life. Nothing difficultcould possibly be worth doing. Why go through all the torture of taking at least fifteen minutes or so tocook real food when lean stick something frozen in the microwave? Andl'mreally glad thatLenscrafters can do my glasses in an hour. It's really just too much to ask to make me wait for a couple of weeks forquality glasses when they can make up a pair of cheap ones so quickly. I don't like to wait. I don't havetime to wait. I'm too busy rushing around making as much money as possible to enjoy it. After all, isn't abank account that could pay off the national debt the most important thing in life? Forget friendship andall that. Who needs friends when you have massive amounts of money? Look at Donald •Trump.Everybody likes Trump. Except Ivana, of course. And the people he evicts from their homes to build"quality" establishments like Trump Tower. But they don't count. They 're just little people. The ones whopay Leona Helmsley's taxes. Speaking of Leona Helmsley, there's a classic example of the Americanentrepreneurial spirit. An example to us all. I really admire her concern for others, too. It just warms my heart to see such a shining example of the American ideal. Money, power, and her face on the cover ofNewsweek. The woman just has it all. Yes, I stand for everything good in American culture. Buicks.Sound bites. Fad diets. Top 40. Cheap beer. Yuppies. There's just one nagging doubt, one question inmy mind I can't seem to answer.

It is indeed unfortunate that such a pseudo-journalistic, thinly-veiled piece of mish-mashed rhetoric could ever make it in the Front. After the lastten years of right-wing, schmuck-filled, good-old boy wisdom being ciphered down our nation by leaderswho cannot remember which weapons they sold to whom, it seems a new generation of BeaverCleavers are being produced. Why does Bob feel it necessary for anyone to censor what the American public is allowed to see like they did back in the good old 30's and 40's? I too enjoyed "Driving MissDaisy" and thought it cinematically represented its ideas very well. However, it can hardly be used as aruler by which all films should be produced. Sorry Bob, but movies are not a simple means of fluffenjoyment for members of the Moral Majority. Movies represent a slice of life from whatever part ofAmerica, the World or the Universe, that the artist making the film wishes to share with us, the paying,willing, movie-goer.

People count, not numbers Editor: I just found itinteresting that J.R. Bailey's letter (4/10),pertaining to the alleged erroneous nature of the Front'scoverage of Central American realities, contains the exact type of fallacy that he accuses the Front of. The best estimates approximate a population of 7 million in Cambodia in the early '70s. The mostliberal estimates of deaths between 1975 (when the Khmer Rouge seized power) and 1979 (when theVietnamese ousted them) is 2 million. A figure around 1 million is more generally accepted. J.R. (may Icall you J.R.?), this is not half of the Cambodians. Regardless, it's PEOPLE,that we. are concernedwith, not numbers. Numbers alienate and desensitize us. One death is too much. Next time you attempt a historical example, as a history major, you shouldreadyour history. DavidL. Taylor P.S. The DominoTheory is bunk, J.R.

The WesternFront WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY TUESDAY — SEPTEMBER 27,1994 VOLUME 90,ISSUE 2 President Morse officially takes over Front/Joanna Cerar President Karen Morse and Gov. Mike Lowry exchange greetings at the "official installation" ceremony. By Dawn Bittner Local Politics editorand Joanna Cerar Assistant News editor Students, faculty, staff and community members gathered inthe Performing Arts Center concert hall on Sept. 19 to welcome Karen Morse as she was installed asWestern's 12th president. Morse has been serving as president since fall, 1993, but was not officiallyinstalled until this year. "It is typical to wait until spring (of the president's first year) for the installation,when the president knows more about the institution," said Al Froderberg, vice president for externalaffairs. "The ceremony was originally planned for (last) spring, but we realized (planning) was morecomplicated than we thought," he said. The ceremony featured Board of Trustees chair Warren "Bud"Gilbert as master of ceremonies, followed by the day's theme of "CelebratingLearning at Western." Gov.Mike Lowry opened the day's events with a speech highlighting Western's qualities. He noted theschool was recently ranked one of the top 15 universities in the West by U.S. News World Report.Lowry termed Western an "outstanding university" and used statistics to illustrate his point. "After fouryears at Western, seniors are much more likely than freshmen to consider the following objectives asessential to their well-being... to help others in difficulty, to influence social values and to participate incommunity action," Lowry said. Lowry mentioned Western students volunteered 487,000 servicehours during the 1992-93 school year. The governor went on to talk about the sense of community hefelt during his childhood, which he also sees at Western. He also touched on the future. In today5sworld, Lowry said,people in successful regions understand their heritage and culture, how to workinternationally and how to trade and conduct commerce. "No state in the country is in a better positionthan the state of Washington by which to move forward," Lowry said. "And again, Western WashingtonUniversity is there — a major leader in what we need in our state and our country." Lowry noted theschool's outstanding foreign language programs and commitment to understanding theinternational aspects of the world in which we live. "I'd like to compliment the university for theoutstanding job of expanding the diversity of the student body ... that is the basis of See President, page 8 New light shed in old hall By Steve Mohundro Front reporter The newest residence hall on campus is also the oldest. The newly-renovated Edens Hall opened this fall, housing 200 students in its north andsouth wings. The historic Edens building, built in 1921, was the first residence hall on campus. In 1957,an addition was built on the north side of the building, becoming Edens Hall North. In the early 1970s,the original Edens building was boarded up. Now, after nearly two decades, the historic building has been renovated and rejoined with Edens North. This fall, students moved back into the new building. Theresidents consist chiefly of freshmen, formerresidents of Edens North See Edens, page 4 Initiativesqueezing budget By Nicole Simpson Copy editor Western is in the midst of a dilemma. Because ofInitiative 601, passed last year, the university is underpressure from the state to cut its budget by 2.4percent in the next two years. In reality, Gov. Mike Lowry has suggested the cuts may be as great as10 percent. But with more students arriving at Western each year, and more faculty needed to educatethis growing population, officials say the question is quality versus quantity. "In short, the state issaying 'do more with less,'" said Al Froderberg, Western's vice president for external affairs. "But do youimprove the quality or the access? Do you make quality suffer in order to add See Initiative, page 8Western recognized among best in nation By Karin Muskopf Front reporter Western made the grade inthe Sept. 26 issue of U.S. News and World Report. Westenrplaced 13th out of 15 universities in theWestern region. Overall, 500 schools in the region, including California andTexas, were consideredbefore the final 15 were selected. "It is very rewarding to be nationally recognized for the qualityeducational experience that Western has to offer," said Karen Morse, Western' s president. "Ourstudents, faculty and staff will continue to build on the reputation Western has earned." Western alsowas given a "most efficient" rating forproviding high-quality education at a relatively low cost per student.It was among two schools in the West and 17 in the nation to earn this rating. In the upcoming Oct. 3issue of U.S. News and World Report, Western will also be named as a "best value" in higher education among 40 other universities rated in the Western region, according to information released by theuniversity. The "best value" class is divided into two categories by U.S. News and World Report.Included in the first category called "the sticker price" is full tuition, room and board, and various fees.The second category called "the discount rate," took average need-based grants and merits intoaccount, said Bob Morse, director of research for the annual college and university rankings. Westernplaced third in the region for offering quality education at a reasonable price for non-resident tuitionwithout financial aid and placed tenth in the same category with financial aid. Out-of-state studentspay an average of $ 12,268 for tuition and expenses to attend Western each year. Ninety-four percent of Western's students from Washington state pay approximately $9,500 which includes books, tuition, personal and living expenses, according to figures released by Western's Admissions Office. "ForWashington residents, Western is an even better value for a quality education then the U.S. Newsfigures, which are based on out-of-state tuition," said Karen Copetas, director of admissions Western'sHonors Program was recognized last week by Money magazine, which rated the program among the top 26 in the nation. Western's National Recognition Western will be named the 13th best Western regionaluniversity in the Oct. 3 issue of U.S. News and World Report.

News editor Western's campus radio station, KUGS(89.3 FM), is working on securing new sources of funding this year while continuing to play a mix ofalternative music, a format it changed to a couple of years ago. Former KUGS Acting General ManagerKevin Majkut said a university task force looked at the station last year and suggested it diversify itsfunding. The station has decided to try underwriting — sponsorship that names contributors but doesn't advertise their products. Majkut said the method is similar to what is done by public radio and manyother college stations. "It seemed like the appropriate thing to do," he said. "We're looking toward thefuture. It's only going to get more expensive." Last year the station received about $54,000 from theAssociated Students to cover its operational budget. The station has a larger budget this year but willreceive about the same amount of funding from the Associated Students, Majkut said. The station istargeting around $7,000-10,000 from underwriting to make up the difference for the budget increase. Italso plans to put on special events such as concerts to raise money. KUGS did minor underwriting inthe 1980s, but this year it hopes to bring in more money from it. "A lot of businesses have expressedinterest in doing business with KUGS," said Program Director Keith Boyd. Boyd said the station is inthe process of developing a contact list of possible sponsors. This schoolyear will be a trial period forthe new fundraising methods. "We may find out there isn't a market (for underwriting), or it may have anegative effect on programming," Majkut said. KUGS will continue to play music in an alternative format, which it has done for the past two years. The station now plays alternative rock as well as independentofferings. Boyd said the number of listeners has gone up dramatically since KUGS changed its format.Western Briefs Western Gallery kicks off Brass group performs in year with Latino art exhibit freeconcert, offers class The mixed-media exhibit Ceremony of Spirit: Nature and Memory in ContemporaryLatino Art will open at the Western Gallery today and will run through Oct. 29.

Former residents of LowerHighland were displaced when their hall was slated to be demolished to build a parking lot. LowerHighland was a single-room hall, and the rooms in the north wing of Edens have been designated"super- single" rooms. Rooms designated "super-single" are the size of double occupancy roomsyet house only one resident. The rent for a "super- single" room is more than a normal single room.Residents of the new south wing of Edens must sign a contract that states they will abide by extendedquiet hours. In addition, the third floor of the new building is a "Substance-Free" floor where residentsmust sign a similar agreement concerning drugs and alcohol. A majority of the residents of the southwing are freshmen. Most upperclassmen in the hall lived in the northern wing last year. Jon Wolf, asophomore living in Edens South, says although there are many more residents in the new building thanlast year, he feels the hall retains the same close community. "Part of the reason is most of Ben Davis; felt ^' ibio Soleibe down the steps of Edens Hall the returning Edenites are on the fourth floor of the newbuilding," Wolf explained. Although the new rooms were built well, residents have discovered somesmall maintenance problems, Wolf said. The bathrooms only have one towel rack for the four residentsof each suite, for instance. Also, some areas were damaged during the later stages of construction.Residence hall staff have assured the residents these problems will be addressed. Construction is not quite complete on the main entry way of the new building, including a spiral staircase from thebasement to the second floor. Construction is scheduled to be complete within two weeks. Jon Wolflives right down the hall from the construction and is not bothered by the noise. "I lived in Edens Northlast year, and then construction was a nuisance. Now they don't start until 8 or 9 a.m. I hardly notice it," Wolf said. The north wing, with only 48 residents as opposed to the previous 100, seems to have adifferent atmosphere than in previous years, some residents say. "It's quiet, but then not manypeople know each other yet," said Front/Dan McLeod Jeremy Dwyer, a sophomore living in the northwing.

This is a reality at Western for many female African-American students. It's a reality that drives many of them away within their first three quarters, saidAstere Yehdego, Multi-Cultural Services coordinator. In response to that trend, the Multi-CulturalServices Center is offering the Sister-to-Sister Program. The program provides individual support bypairing new Western students with volunteers from faculty, staff and students in their junior and senioryears. Group support is offered in the form of weekly meetings where participants discuss issues andconcerns, Yehdego said. A participant need not become a "sister" to attend group meetings. During the1993-94 year the total number of female African- American students actually increased from 60 in thefall to 68 in the spring, according to internal Western reports on ethnic origin. However, while the number of juniors, seniors and graduate students increased, the number of first and second-year studentsdropped significantly. While 23 freshmen and nine sophomores began the year, only 17 freshmen andfive sophomores finished it. It is this loss of new students that concerns Yehdego and other African-American students and faculty. While numerous programs are offered to students from non-Europeanbackgrounds, Yehdego said she felt the need to go beyond that and create a program for African-American women. Women reported leaving because of identity crisis, prejudice, isolation and lack ofpeer role models and leaders, Yehdego said. Providing support in these situations during the first year is the primary goal of Sister-to-Sister, she added. "Once they make it through that [year], they're OK,"she said. "Seeing peer role models on campus sends students a message: 'I made it through, so canyou.'" Twenty-eight women attended the program's first meeting last Tuesday evening. Yehdegocalled the meeting "a great success." "Those people were excited," she said. About 16 "sisters" havevolunteered, so there are approximately 32 women involved in one-to- one mentorships, Yehdegosaid. The idea for Sister-to-Sister evolved from last spring quarter's African-American Women'sLeadership Series. At one meeting, some women said they would not have made it at Westernwithout the support of an African- American friend, Yehdego said. It occured to her that thisindividual mentoring might solve the problem of losing female African- American students. Besidesdiscussing social concerns, participants in group meetings will also learn about successful role models.Peer role models and alumni will be featured speakers, Yehdego said. Vocalist Patti Allen, a 1967Western graduate, is scheduled to be the first speaker on Oct. 13. • Yehdego said she encouragesall African-American females to get involved in this program. our bank like OT college.

Cafe remodeling not a Miracle HeatherKimbrough Front Reporter If you've walked down High Street lately and past Miracles Cafe, you mayhave noticed the construction workers, paint cans and tools scattered around. Miracles' owners MikeHauser and Kristina Moore and a few of their friends are busy remodeling the house-converted cafe,Hauser said. They're constructing a new pond with a fountain and fish, remodeling the upstairs for sit-down vegetarian food and coffee, and installing yard lights to brighten the backyard tables, he said. Allin time for Miracles' grand opening, which Hauser expects to take place in mid-October. "We have a lotof entertainment lined up," Hauser said. "It's a wide variety." Co-owner Moore said bands who'veplayed in the past are Kruster's Kronamid, Painted Sun, Soup and Peppe Tooth to name a few. Mooresaid they are trying to have more mellow music now that they've expanded. "We want to maintain abalance between entertainment and a cafe\" Moore stated. They also want their atmosphere to bedifferent from others, Hauser said. Since its opening almost a year ago, the cafe has served all kindsof people, he added. Because of the cafe's location, Miracles attracts people walking to and fromcampus, Hauser said. "It's not going to be a cheap, cheap place to go. But it's not going to beexpensive," Hauser said.

University officials took some action to address the problem, but some in the campus community arecritical of those changes. The recent demolition of Stearns House for faculty parking has left at least one art major with a bad taste in her mouth. The Stearns House was a place art students could work ontheir projects, said graphic arts major Jennifer Day. "I don't think that tearing down Stearns Housesolved any parking problems at Western," Day said. "The demolition only created a few spaces." A new commuter lot is now open to students on 21 st Street. The lotprovides lOOnewparkingspaces, but thewaiting list for commuter parking permits remains long, according to parking service officials. TheWhatcom Transportation Authority (WTA) bus service is also an option for students who don't want tofight the traffic. Parking Services brochures tell of expanded bus service for Western students and staff."They've been working very hard to improve their service," said Ann Wallace, parking services manager."That's all fine and dandy if you take the bus," said business major Matt Johnson. "But what if you don'twant to? I like my car." WTA is also establishing a free carpool/ride-matching program for all students,faculty and staff, Wallace said. The State Trip Reduction Act requires urban areas with apopula-tion of150,000 or more to show proof that they're putting in a substantial effort to reduce traffic. Western isworking to improve transportation options, Wallace said. These options could include both positives andnegatives to motivate students to conserve their transportation, said Rick Benner, manager of facilitiesand master planning. Positives may include preferred parking and reduced costs for carpools andvanpools, a shuttle system, an improved transit system, and a universal transit pass, Benner said.Increased rates and fines for single student vehicles may be among the negatives, he added.

Theatre department schedule set By Colleen Williams Front reporter The theatre department's fall line-up promises the opportunity to experience a widevariety of theatrical productions, according to Kathy Phillips, publicist for the Theatre Arts department.Starting off the season is New Playwrights Theatre, a quarterly production which features short playswritten by Western students. Performances are scheduled for Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 in PerformingArts Center 199. The next production will be "Falsettos," which won the 1992 Tony Award for bestmusical. . The New York Times described the musical as "never maudlin, clinical or didactic, butalways, in some hard-won way or another, high-spirited." The play will be directed by Jim Lortz of thetheatre department and will run Nov. 16 to Nov. 20 at the PAC Mainstage. The third production will be the classic "Antigone," according to the theatre schedule. Set in ancient Greece, the play deals with a dictator's downfall that results from his authoritarian decrees. "Antigone" will be directed by theatrestudent Marc Mixon and will run Nov. 30 through Dec. 3 at the PAC, room 199. Tickets will be availableat the door.

Following his speech, Lowryand Morse mingled with audience members in the PAC lobby. Lowry met with students to discussconcerns such as budget cuts to higher education. A surplus in the state budget and increasedeconomic activity does not shelter college and universities from budget cuts, he said. Initiative 601limits spending of the state general fund, which is the category higher education falls into, he said."Sometimes headlines mischaracterize it as a tax initiative, but it's not a tax initiative, it's a spendingone. "Regardless of how much money we have in the economy, regardless of the fact that we've nowturned around the economy with 60,000 new jobs — plus. And thereby more revenue comes in, but you can't spend it on education," Lowry said. Under 1-601, spending of the state general fund cannotincrease by more than four percent per year, Lowry said. Prisons are also included in the state generalfund, and with the costs of prisons rising at rate of eight percent per year, that leaves even less money for higher education, he said. Lowry told the students he had assured Morse and other universitypresidents he will look for every possible innovative approach to solving the higher education budgetcrisis. Lowry said he visits his daughter Diane, a junior at Western, about once a month. "It's a greatschool," he said. "Its commitment to the classroom and education is exceptional and recognized in thisnation." Lowry said he supports the efforts of the Associated Students Board of Directors to include astudent representative on the Board of Trustees. * He also said he would like to meet with the A.S.board to discuss issues of student concern. Morse alsv6 Vaikecl with guests and posed for photos inthe PAC lobby. The president was receptive to an idea suggested by one student: to continue givingrecognition to faculty at the beginning of the school year. "The reason I wanted to do this is because I think I need to send a message to the faculty and staff at Western to take more credit than what they're taking," she said. "They need to know (receiving national recognition) is because of what they'redoing at Western. It is because of the attention they give to students. "It's because they'rededicated to interacting with students and developing students." Morse also said Western is in aclass by itself when compared to other comprehensive universities. "I think what is being recognized is that if you spend four years here at Western, you can get a private education for the cost of a publicinstitution," she said. Faculty members gave presentations later in the morning, followed by thepresident's installation ceremony. About 100 people wore academic robes to the ceremony. Theywere members or former members of the board of trustees, faculty members who had wondistinguished teaching awards and Washington Secretary of State Ralph Munroe. President Morsewore a light blue robe, the color of the University of Michigan, where she received her doctorate andmaster's degrees. Around her neck hung a pendant representing the office of president. Thepresident's installation address focused on the theme and presented her views on the past, present andfuture of Western. "I am proud of Western's accomplishments and proud to have the responsibility ofleading this fine university," Morse said. Throughout her speech, Morse described Western as auniversity committed to educating, not training students. "Students at Western have the opportunity fora complete college experience. We are committed to the education of the whole student," she said. Morse cited preservation of excellence as a significant challenge at a time when resources aredwindling and demand is expanding. Reflections of learning at Western were presented in speechesgiven by Tres Gallant, president of the associated students, Kris Bulcroft, president of the facultysenate and Kenneth Cox, president of the Alumni Association. A faculty luncheon was held after theinstallation ceremony. A tour of Western's outdoor sculpture collection and more faculty presentations took place in the afternoon, both open to the public. A reception and banquet were held in theevening. Front/Joanna Cerar Front/Joanna Cerar President Morse wore light blue, the color of her almamater, Gov.

It's going tobe tough." Last November, voters passed 1-601, the initiative devised by State Senator Linda Smith (R), who will be running for Congress in the upcoming November elections. In her campaign, Smithpromoted 1-601 as a way to restrict "runaway" spending, he said. "That idea, on the surface, makesperfectly good sense," he stated. "But it doesn't take into account that the rate of student growth isgreater than that of the state's population." According to Froderberg, the effects of 1-601 on highereducation are numerous and include the elimination of state employee pay-raises, as well as theinitiation of departmental cuts. "I think it will be years before we realize all of the impacts of 601,"Froderberg said. . The state Supreme Court refused to hear the case on 1-601 brought before thecourt's members last July. The court said it wouldn' t question the validity of an initiative alreadypassed into law. In the 1993-95 biennium, state employees received no salary increases, Froderbergsaid. If that trend continues, he said, people entering the work force, as well as those already employedby the state, are going to be hurt and discouraged. With the governor's budgetdue to arrive at Westernin December, the university may finally get the unfortunate news it has been fearing. "Governor Lowrysays he's going to do his best to protect higher education," Froderberg concluded. "But after taking a 7.8 percent cut over the last three years, it's not easy to contemplate another 10 percent over that." Newsystem on Wilson's horizon By Melanie Moore Front reporter By fall quarter of 1995, Western's libraryusers will be able to see for themselves that the long-awaited "on line" system means more thanreplacing the card catalog with a computer. "The new system is going to make the library a service, nota place," said Jerry Boles, vice provost for information and telecommunication services. LibraryInformation System (L.I.S.) is the name of the new system, which has several options to aid the user,Boles said. It has the ability to browse shelves electronically, check if a book is in and place a hold onbooks already checked-out. It includes a catalog of Western's music library, he said. It is alsoprogrammed against frustrating blind alleys. When no files can be found, it suggests several other areasto search. The system is being purchased from Innovative Interfaces in California, a leading provider touniversities, Boles said. Director of Libraries Diane Parker said the system is sophisticated yet has areputation for being easy to use. "It's going to be a much more powerful research tool," she said.Although the library plans to install 35 L.I.S. terminals throughout the library, it will not be necessary tobe present in the library to use one. L.I.S. will be connected to the campus network and available toanyone with a computer modem, Parker said. She expects use of the system in dorm rooms and offices all over campus. The project, which is costing more than $1 million, began in 1991 with the preparationof a five-year plan for the library, Parker said. Next came the conversion process. This process included shipment of nearly 200,000 cards from the library' s catalog to Ohio to be placed on file. Out of Ohiocame three huge files that are presently in Pennsylvania being made into a single database for thesystem. "It's a big project," Parker said. "There are several components to complete but we're veryexcited." After the database is received and the computers arrive in January, the library will begintesting the system and training staff and faculty. This process will probably last through June, she said.The system could be ready for use during the summer, but fall quarter is the official date. "I expecteverything to go smoothly," Boles said. "We're getting the best system we could have." ---------- Western Front - 1994 September 27 - Page 9 ---------- September 27,1994 — The Western Front LOCAL POLITICS- 9 'Baby' Giants to take over Civic StadiumBy Helen Buller Front reporter Western sports teams that use Civic Stadium will benefit from a $90,000upgrade required to keep a professional team in town, an upgrade that has caused a stir recently. Thecity had already planned to spend between $50,000 and $60,000 to improve the Civic Stadium lockerrooms, which would benefit all who use the facility. But the city balked earlier this month when JerryWalker, who at the time was co-owner of the Bellingham Mariners, hit The Bellingham Herald's frontpage with what some interpreted as a threat to move the team to Pasco. Walker wanted the city to paythe full cost for upgrades (including improvements to managers' offices, trainers' rooms and storageand laundry rooms) required to meet professional baseball league standards. Council members andthe community were worried about spending public money on additional work that city officialsbelieved would benefit only Walker's business. "I feel we are subsidizing baseball at adisproportionate rate and should not use public funds for aprivateprofit,"Dan Robbins of Bellingham saidduring the public comment period of the Sept. 19 council meeting. During his time on the floor, Robbinsquestioned why the city had refused to subsidize the ice arena, a facility that would benefit thecommunity by providing public access and raising out-of-town guest revenues, but was providing publicmoney for Walker's private enterprise. The city has spent more than $200,000 on improvements to theJoe Martin Field (which does meet professional standards) and Civic Stadium since 1990. Robbinssuggested the city sell Civic Stadium to Walker and have him rent it back to the city. Though' Walkerhas ada- WESTERN FRONT CLASSIFIEDS SELL! 650-3161 mantly and repeatedly refused to pay forany of the required improvements, several audience members were pleased by all that Walker hasdone. "Thank you Jerry, for what you've done," Carmen Williams of Bellingham said. She went on to tellthe council, "Mr. Walker may not be Santa Clause, but I don't think he's Mr. Scrooge." According toestimates solicited by Byron Elmendorf, such improvements would cost the city around $145,000.Walker presented to the council a $61,000 estimate for the same work from local contractor, CascadeEnergy Homes. Walker told the council he would need $90,000. The extra $29,000 would be used forincidental expenses. The council finally agreed in its Sept. 19 regular meeting with ing the money tomake improvements was acceptable, but San Francisco wasn't likely to sign if the clubs home wouldbe subject to terms. Walker agreed with a longer contract and offered to provide free clinics, but went on to press the council into agreeing they maintain current lease costs for his club. "As a finalcompromise, I'm offering to clean up the garbage," he told the council during a speech. "If that's what ittakes to be assured that this community will have professional baseball, I'll clean up the garbage."Walker was referring to a statement made earlier in the day by Elmendorf, who somewhat tongue-in-cheek said the only difference between' having the farm team and not having them was the cost of cleanup. Elmendorf cautioned the "As a final compromise, I'm offering to clean-up the garbage. If that's what it takes to be assured this community will have professional baseball, I'll clean-up the garbage." —JerryWalker former Bellingham Mariners co-owner the caveat to allow Walker to sign a two-year lease withthe city. The deadline for Walker to confirm a contract with San Francisco was Sept. 25 He said he was concerned the club wouldn't sign with him if he couldn't guarantee the necessary changes to ensurecompliance with professional standards. Another concern of Walker's is being unable tot get the city tosign a lease agreement so his future team would have a home. "Up in the air is the best way todescribe our present situation," Walker told the council during the Sept. 19 meeting. He told the councilthat hav-council that Walker's "talk of garbage is just politics." He added that realistically, costs forWalker's team would be higher because of lights, special preparation and field occupation times. "Itbothers me because we put up money today, after only two weeks of warning," councilman Bruce Ayres said. "Now we're being told that because we can't negotiate a lease that it's all our fault again. "I'm very disappointed. And I'm not willing to negotiate a lease tonight." Councilman Gene Knutson, who hasworked almost non stop INDEPENDENT LEARNING CLASS CLOSED? GURS, ELECTTVES andMORE!!! Old Main 400 650-3650 to reach a compromise between Walker the city Parks andRecreation department, responded adamantly, practically yelling down the microphone. "We do not have time to fumble round with this," Knutson said. Ayres responded strongly, "I will not be forced intonegotiating terms of a lease tonight. That's it. I'm done. "I'm sure that if the three of you (Knutson,Elmendorf and Walker) get together and come to a reasonable agreement, that this council will backyou," Ayres said. "I will. I just don't want to do it tonight." Both the audience and the council could feelthe tension as all sides lobbied for their various proposals. ""'*'''" Ayres eventually'asked the originalmotion, which combined the two-year lease requirement with the approval of up to $90,000 inimprovements, be put into two separate motions. The council then approved the $90,000 maximumcommitment,butdid not make provisions in the event the project runs over budget. For the two-year lease motion, the council asked that the contract include the garbage and free clinic concessionsWalker had offered. In this week's council meeting, about an hour was spent discussing the leaseagreement. Knutson moved that the council agree to let the mayor negotiate a contract that includedthree points, all three of which were to prove bones of contention. Walker wanj^^^n^ase to includelangua^^^^^ftlcitly allows him to e n r a l ^ h i s policy that restricts the carrying in of outside food.Walker has been enforcing the policy for six years, but it's never been part of the lease agreementbefore. When councilwoman Louise Bjornson asked what would happen when someone "wanted tobring a peanut butter sandwich in for their kid," Knutson replied, "Stuff it in your purse." The second, butmore minor, bone that council members chewed was a request by Walker that the club be allowed extra practice hours at no charge. At first Elmendorf wanted inclusion of a caveat allowing the city to chargefor any extra cost such practice would cost the city. He would eventually accept Walker's suggestion ofcharging only for more than one preparation per game. The last, and possibly biggest bone, involvedinclusion of revenue sharing agreements and a minimum rental fee clause. "We're not here to breakJerry," councilman PatRowe said. "There are a lot of things we've kick-started. But we've kick-startedand kick-started and kick-started this. "It's time that baseball begins to wean itself off of city coffers."Despite the discussion, council members voted 6-0 to approve Knutson's motion. After all this andalmost a month of conflict with the Bellingham City Council, Walker has agreed to negotiate a leasethat would keep his franchise in Bellingham for the next two years. So it appears that Walker, whosecontract with the Seattle Mariners professional baseball club was terminated Sept. 7, will be walking onthe shoulders of the San Francisco Giants. While local fans will still have a home team in the minors, itwill be the Bellingham Giants, farm club for San Francisco's major league team, instead of the BabyM's. The council also voted to create a task force. The primary role of the task force would be tomake the Civic Stadim complex (pool, stadium, fields and other ammenities) competative with otherfacilities of its kind. Its second task will be to determine revenue sources for the complex.

Don McSwain of the Whatcom County Sheriffs Officesaid police are investigating "people of interest." The crime has ignited controversy among differentcommunity and multi-cultural groups who met Sept. 15 to discuss racial incidents in WhatcomCounty. Some voiced concerns regarding police response and follow- up of hate crimes and racistactivity. Accordingio The Bellingham Herald, hate crimes in Whatcom County have increased by 120percent in the past year. Some of the increase is attributed to better reporting and recognition by police,according to the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs and The Bellingham Herald.Neita Gallegos, who is a peer advisor at the Multi-Cultural Services Center and president of MovimentioEstudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), said she has encountered subtle forms of racism and cultural insensitivity on campus and in class. "We were reading a poem in English called "The Bean Eaters',written by an African-American woman, and some of the students began to make remarks parodying the poem," Gallegos said. "They were joking, using stereotypes about blacks, drugs, guns, etc." "I stoodup and said I felt uncomfortable and the teacher just stared at me...students began to say they weren'tracist and their voices began to rise. It was really tense," she said. Gallegos subsequently "I'm gratefulwe live in a pluralistic society." — Alan Shore Christian political activist dropped the classic Othercpmiminity members have cauiic||g^gainst forcing people to gefllo^; Alan Shore, executive director ofConcerned Christian Citizens for Political Action, said he has a theory on the rise of hate crimes andracism in America. "People have become very confused in defining their personal space in relation to the rest of the world," Shore said. He also cited economic and political anxiety as secondary factors to anunderlying sense of spiritual hunger. "This country is in the process of clarifying spiritual and moralvision and self-understanding," Shore said. He said a vacuum exists between a weakening churchinfluence and government that people expect to be filled by more government. Shore wrote a lengthy commentary that appearedin The Bellingham Herald on Sept. 22. Shore's commentary describedhis view of the cross-burning incident and the response of the community to this and other acts ofracism. In the letter, Shore said hate cannot be outlawed. Crime can be punished, but not the moresubjective nature of hate which he considers a sin, not a crime. "I'm grateful we live in a pluralisticsociety," Shore said. "People bring richness from diverse backgrounds into a healthy community but you cannot make others like them." Trillium Faith Community Foundation has put up a $1,000 reward forinformation leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved in the Aug. 20 incident. "I've had no response to the reward posters yet," McSwain said. "The reward posters are in bothSpanish and English and are sometimes a good way to get someone who doesn' t want to get involvedto come forward," he said. A follow-up to the Sept. 15 meeting will take place'Oct. 19 to discuss moreoptions for dealing with racial incidents in the county. A.S. board sets By Dawn Bittner Local Politicseditor TheAssociatedStudentBoard of Directors gathered at the Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island Aug.23-25 for a weekend retreat. The purpose of the retreat was to orient new board members, review A.S.and university policies, set the agenda for the year and to form relationships, Tres Gallant, A.S.president, said. "The lodge sleeps about 12. There's no water, no electricity. It has a rustic feel, likegetting down and dirty," Gallant said. In addition to fun and relaxation, the board formulated a list of60 goals for the school year, Gallant said. Gallant said some of the key goals include making surestudents know what is going on on campus and publishing a quarterly A.S. stockholders' report. "Allstudents are stockholders because the A.S. represents everyone," Gallant said. According to Gallant, the board will also continueits attempt to change the faculty evaluation process, institute atechnologyfee, install a greater sense of community on campus and begin publication of a yearbook. Otherimportant items on the agenda, Gallant said, are striving to keep tuition low and adding a studentmember to the Board of Trustees. The Senate higher education committee has been opposed to astudent member for the past 27 '94-95 agenda years, but the support of Gov. Mike Lowry is helping thegoal become a reality, Gallant said. Providing more services to students and spending less money areother goals, which are contingent on eliminating middle management positions in the A.S., Gallant said. "The downside to this is some student positions are being cut. We decided we were spending too much money to justify some services," Gallant said. Some positions eliminated last year include the A.S.information office coordinator, University Notetaking Service and the Peace Resource Center. A.S.board meetings are tentatively set for 7 p.m. every Monday in Viking Union 408. '^The meetings areopen to any and every studbnt. If students have something itb say, I will recognize them and they arewelcome to put in their two cents," Gallant said. Gallant said he encourages students to attend themeeting to ensure that the interests of everyone are expressed. "Seven students speak for all10,000." . For every student that listens and shows up (to the meetings) it means a better chancethat our decisions will reflect each student," Gallant said. "If you go to the meetings, you'll hear about alot of stuff going on that you might not hear about otherwise .. Jttb The World Was Created In SixDays. It Was Beautiful. But It Was Way Over Budget!

JackMetcalf (R) will wage aname recognition contest with state Sen. Harriet Spanel (D) in the general election Nov. 8. The biggestobstacle for Metcalf will be the difficulty of raising enough money to transmit his message, said ChrisStrow of Metcalf for Congress. Spanel also faces the difficulty of making herself known to voters. "Myrepublican opponent has the most support in the southern half of the district" said Spanel. The secondcongressional district includes Whatcom, Skagit, San Juan, Island and the northern part of Snohomishcounties. Both-candidates vying for Rep. Al Swift's vacant seat in the U.S. House of Representatives are veterans of public service. Metcalf spent 30 years as a school teacher and "has taught just abouteverything," Strow said. Strow also said Metcalf was involved in shaping the community college systemof Washington during the '60s. Spanel is a former League of Women Voters leader, environmentalistand clean government advocate. She carried initiative petitions to help establish the public disclosurecommission in Washington. She also pioneered recycling efforts in Bellingham by collecting JackMetcalf (R) newspapers with the League in the late '60s. After joining a community effort to gatherrecyclables in the early '80s, Spanel helped convince the city to implement recycling program, Strowsaid. Metcalf brings his knowledge and concern "for public education to this race,;Sirqw said. He spent20 years in the'state legislature, but stepped down in 1992 after two six-year terms in the state Senate."Term limits are something near and dear to his heart and he has always believed in the 12- year termlimit," Strow said. As a member of Congress, Metcalf will promote term limits so the same people don'tsit on the same committees yeaf after year, Strow said. "He's a very common-sense politician. There'sa stereotype that he is a hard-nosed conservative and that is far from accurate. Three great things make him a diverse candidate. He is an experienced legislator, school teacher and a small business owner,"Strow said. In 1984, Metcalf transformed his "family home on Whidbey Island into a bed and breakfastcalled trje LbgiCasfie. He and his wife have been operating it ever since. ^ Spanel's family issues include safe communities, health care reform and job-retraining. Spanel said she is supportive of publicinvolvement in such issues. "Harriet's issues are the issues families care about," said Katy Warren,Spanel's press secretary. "I started out as a community activist and I believe there's a responsibility toget involved," Spanel said. "I have always looked to the future while my opponent has had a tendency tolook to the past." "Jack has been a visionary for 20 years. He is ahead of his time," Strow said. "Harriet is a great person but is still dealing with 1940s liber-alism- F.D.R.'s (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) beliefthat government ' can solve everybody' s problems." Metcalf was the front runner in last weeks primaries, receiving 24,471 votes. Spanel lagged behind by 2,313 votes. Rob Meier, office manager at Metcalffor Congress, said although Metcalf came away with the most votes, the Democrats received slightlymore votes all around. "We've gotten endorsements of all Republican candidates," Meier said. Meiersaid he speculates many of Paull Shin's votes will go to Metcalf because he coins himself a conservative Democrat and is pro-business in Snohomish County. Warren said she thinks all the candidates,includingRepublicans, will endorse Spanel; "All the candidates were good, but most see (Spanel) as thebest choice," Warren said. Spanel has recived endorsements from Gabrielle Gallegos and JohnSandifer, both Democratic candidates eliminated in the primaries. The final election will take place onNov. 8.

Not only diverse in what they study, but moreimportantly, where they study. The International Programs and Exchanges office, directed by ArtKimmel, can place students in just about any country or state they're interested in. Through theInternational Student Exchange Program (ISEP) or the National Student Exchange (NSE), Kimmel canfind something for just about everyone. If not, he is more than happy to help students find anindependent, program ta satisfy theif needs', feast year, aP most 400 students used Kimmel' sexchange office to study in foreign countries. Students who participate in these programs find them both educationally ;and personally re: warding, Kimmel said. It can give first and second year students "agood base" while meeting older students' "more specific academic needs." EnvironmentalScience/German major Sara Beresford, who spent her sophomore year studying at Justus LiebigUniversity in Giessen, Germany, said she not only learned about Germany, but the Unijed^tates asw'ell.'i \ /: v ~ "We're uninterested in learning other languages here in ALASKA EMPLOYMENT -Fishing Industry - Students Needed!

She explained that most Germans studied one or two foreign languages,most often English. Senior Phil Fairhead, a Biology major, had been studying Spanish for five yearsbefore he decided to use the exchange program to attend North University in Barranquilla, Colombia."I had been studying Spanish and realized I was never going to learn the language unless I went to aSpanish-speaking country," said Fairhead. In addition to Spanish, Fairhead also took Biologycourses.

This program, places ~: Western students in Universities around the country whileattracting other NSE students to Western. It's great forpeople who want to see more of their owncountry, such as senior History major Mike Milton, who spent last year at Florida International University in Miami. "It was nice to get away from the comfortable surroundings of Western and do somethinginteresting," Milton said of his experience in Florida. "I'm ready to go again." So, what makessomeone want to leave Western and venture into the unknown? Junior Yuba Foxfire visited Front/RyanMcMenamin Kimmel's office recently to inquire about traveling to Amsterdam. Foxfire studied inStuttguart, Germany during high school to "step out of America and seeit with a different perspective."Now he wants to travel to Amsterdam to explore its culture. "Amsterdam has great theater, ballet, andart museums," said Foxfire, "and it's the party center of Europe." The exchange program offers a service not just to students, but to the school as well. Started in 1972 by Kimmel, the program has enabledstudents to study in places such as China, Estonia, Switzerland, Finland, and Malta. That doesn't eveninclude those who used the NSE program to go to schools all over the United States. The schoolbenefits because while Western students are 4 . away, there are " ... Spaces for new students to at-.bifizwoiiS,,^" ..-•gt;•••.. ••• , . t.. tend. Despite this service, however, the programreceives no. state funds, making it one of Western's self-sustaining programs. It is financedthrough fees collected from the students. Even with the fees, Kimmel said, the exchanges prove "morecost effective" than going on a do-it- yourself tour of a country. In addition, "Programs are moreenjoyable because they provide a home base to which students can return." Not only that, but thecost of most programs is roughly the same as the cost of attending Western. Some will argue it's morefun, too. "On New Year's, I went to Switzerland and camped with 25 people in an old bunker," saidBeresford, describing a trip during her stay in Europe, "We snowboarded and skied all week." Thoughfun is inevitable, an interest in different cultures is the motivating factor for most. Beresford had alwaysbeen interested in Europe before her stay in Giessen and noticed aspects of the German cultureimmediately. Gradually she learned to adapt. "At the beginning I didn' t give it a chance, but by themiddle (of the trip) I began to. find; it appealing," said Beresford, She returned to the: states andrealized that our country, was guilty of "mass consumption," something-she didn't see in Germany. Inpart, she said, because "Germany just doesn't have big stores like Costco." All exchange studentsmissed something from the culture in which they lived. "I miss my afternoon siesta!" said Fairhead.Both Kimmel and the students recommend utilizing the services the exchange program provides. It offers not only a chance to learn about another people, but of yourself as well. "I highly recommend it," said Foxfire. "You learn about yourself, about culture, and it looks great on a resume."

The malty, pungentodor exuded from the pot brought comments and queries from passersby in the dorm's small kitchen,where three witches were brewing something special. "It's soup," they said to the inquisitors. "It's aujus," they said to others, though the five-gallon cauldron on the stove was making what would have beenenough au jus to drown every French dip in Paris. It was, in fact, beer. Assistant brewmeister OscarMyer, who has nothing to do with hot dogs, laughed when he remembered that first night of brewing."Somebody came up and started telling us how to we could brew beer," he said, "and he didn't evenrealize that five gallons of it was boiling on the stove." Since that first batch of beer, aptly named "Omega" and labeled with a small Greek letter on the cap, the trio of brewmeisters produced numerousbatchesof beer in a variety of flavors and styles. Chief brewer Jeff Kraus, the only conspirator of legaldrinking age, has been brewing for several years and began working with the other basement brewers lastyear. The quiet one was Rich Deitz. Deitz clearly enjoyed brewing, but the one thing about brewing beerthat he wanted to express was "Please don't tell my parents." Kraus was born to brew, he said. "When Iwas in seventh grade, I found a wine-making kit in my parents' basement." Unfortunately, he used the kitto make a batch of carrot wine, which, Kraus said, tasted even worse than it sounds. Front/RyanMcMenamin "Please don't tell my parents." — Rich Deitz Homebrewer Subsequent wines were bigimprovements, and sometime around his senior year in high school, Kraus started brewing beer. "Iguess you'd call it a passion," he said with a laugh. - Kraus said he heard last year that the two others,now §ophomores, wanted to brew beer arid this led to the Hours: Sun.-Thurs. 11 a.m.-1 a.m., Fri.-Sat.11 a.m.-2 a.m. * NEW TOPPINGS * Artichoke Hearts • Fresh Garlic • Pesto TOPPINGSPepperoni • Sausage • Canadian Bacon • Black Olives • Ground Beef • Mushrooms •Green Peppers • Onions • Anchovies • Bacon Bits • Cashews • Jalapenos • Pineapple• Salami Shrimp • Spicy Sausage • Tomatoes • Linguica • Double Cheese • Thick Crust738-0606 Fast Friendly Delivery 2311 James* B'ham ALL Drinks Just 250 LIMITED DELIVERY AREAALL SPECIALS FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY. Omega kitchen beer. By the end of spring, they werebrewing 18-gaIlon batches in Kraus' parents' basement. They bottle the beer in bottles salvaged fromthe recycling bin. Their bottle of choice is Corona, though they attest the beer they produce is a vastimprovement on the original contents of the bottle. They said they will soon be transporting their brewingoperation to an "unspecified off-campus location" in Bellingham, which Myer described as being "fourteen miles from Gotham." The Omega beer was and is still a favorite, but several brews have provedenjoyable. With names like Red Rover, Brass Monkey and Village Green, each beer has a distinctivetaste and personality. "We try to experiment," said Kraus, and experiment they have. Flavors like mint,passion fruit, raspberry, peach, strawberry and chocolate have been added to beers, some morepalatable than others. "I think my mother was the only person who ever liked the chocolate beer," Myersaid. Deitz and Kraus said they were amazed anyone had liked it. Future projects include improving theapple cider they began brewing late last year. The trio refuse to sell their beer. "You probably make abetter brew if you make it for yourself," Myer said. Deitz nodded heartily. The brewmeisters swore home-brewing is a breeze. Kraus recommended the book "The New Joy of Homebrew" by Charlie Papapion forgetting started in homebrewing.

More than amere two-lane road, Chuckanut is a force of nature, a serpentine trial of car and driver, a romanticinterlude, a sylvan venue for soul-searching and an all-purpose afternoon adventure best accessed bybicycle or automobile. The drive begins, both physically and symbolically, at the southern end of thePadden Creek bridge, a bridge not to be crossed without some preparation. The amountof planningbefore a Chuckanut trip could mean the difference between a planned adventure and a real adventure;fortunately, everything one needs is easily available near the bridge, provided a backpack is brought.Win' s Drive-In is a good place to pick up a hot-fudge malt before gassing up the car at one of the gasstations nearby. With the tank filled, radio on and windows down, cross the bridge. Fasten seatbelts,dangerous curves ahead. Chuckanut Drive is remarkable for the winding curves, vertigo- inducingprecipices and magnificent coastal vistas that make it a regional attraction for rock climbers,motorcycle-riding adrenaline junkies and Sunday-driving sightseers from Seattle to Vancouver. BringDramamine if you're prone to motion sickness. Heading south, look west across Chuckanut Bay to theemerald islands beyond. But drivers should pay attention to the yellow line — Chuckanut is a narrow road, and crossing the yellow line could turn a fun-filled afternoon into a disaster. The turns continue forabout 15 minutes (more or less, depending on your nerve, your vehicle and whether or not you'rebehind a Sunday-driving sightseer), and adventure surrounds you on all sides. Off to the left is theFragrance Lake trailhead, -while--Larrabee. State P:ark beckons from the right." Both offer a multitude ofoutdoor options for the restless heart. Larrabee is big and presents a variety of terrains and views. So, ifyou hate watching waves clap onto rocks, hike south onto the sandy shore to hunt for seashells andbeach glass, or climb up the bank for lunch on a mossy knoll. Sturdy footwear is highly recommended since the park terrain can be rugged and paths are little more than crude game trails.

But inside this spacious workshop on West Holly Street lies one man's obsession.Baidarka kayaks—George Dyson's specialty and life-long interest. Baidarka, a Russian term meaning"kayak," isn't just a name for the boats Dyson has been designing, building and selling for 25 years. Itshistory is intertwined between the Alaskan Aleut Native Americans and Russian settlers, a recreationsought by enthusiasts across the United States and a form of transportation. And for Dyson and theAleutian Island natives before him, it's a way of life. Inside Dyson's shop, kayak shells, nylon covering,aluminum tubing and binding string find a niche. In a back room, a small library of kayak magazines andbooks fills the shelves. Kayak design sketches decorate the walls, accompanied by scenic kayakingpictures. Kayak everything, except for Zephyr, Dyson's golden retriever, who makes herpresence knownby energetically greeting visitors. She lies next to Dyson's chair, where he sits behind a table littered with research papers and kayak books. What began Dyson's fascination with these versatile boats? And why did he start building and designing them? "The question goes the other way. Why didn't I stop?" saidDyson, gazing out the window at Bellingham Bay. "I built my first kayak when I was 12 and just keptbuilding." The wooden kayak kept falling apart, so he quickly learned to use lighter-weight aluminumtubing, a modern baidarka feature. Aleutian kayakers constructed their boats with skin and bone. TheAleuts used their kayaks for hunting sea mammals and for traveling long distances. Russian settlers,arriving in Alaska during the 1700s, changed the design even further to carry more for longer distances.Today, people travel from all over the United States to purchase material from Dyson's company. He saidone man recently drove all the way from Ohio to buy an aluminum tubing set. Not only do people flockfrom all different areas, they come from different flocks as well. Everyone from lawyers and doctors tostudents, artists and Canadian border guards have bought baidarkas. Bob Christensen, a Westernstudent, bought designs and materials Fr At the Dyson Baidarka Company, George Dyson has beenconstructing specialty kayaks for 25 years from Dyson and built his own baidarka. The kayak took him150 hours to make, extending..overthree^months. Christensen paSdled his kayak from Alaska toBellingham this summer, stopping along the way to explore the coast and the people who live there."People, amazing people. Loggers, fishermen, native people," Christensen said. He met and learnedabout the Alaskan coastal people, visited ancient historic; the weather. He encountered bears,humpbacks per-hour wind. "Every single day is a story," Christensen This summer Christensen alsokayaked Vc three weeks as well as Clayquot Sound.

It's doubtful many listeners have imagined KellyBennett as she really appears— petite, dressed in a cardigan sweater, wearing very little makeup,hair tied in a ponytail with a gauzy scarf. Bennett swivels around in her chair to answer questionsafter she makes some announcements and . sets up the next tune. Her one-on-one conversationvoice is nothing like the casual, soothing tone thousands of listeners hear when they tune in. Notthat it isn't casual or soothing, just not as precise and errorless as the DJ voice. It's like a voice with asplit personality. Counting broadcasting school, Bennett has been in .radio for 17 years. She's workedwith every format from news to top forty. Even country. "You have to be pretty versatile as far as formats go," Bennett said. "If you say, 'I do not want to do country EVER' or 'I do not want to dor/Hs EVER,'you woh'thave a job. The more versatile you are, the more employable you are." The road to DJhood isnot a simple one, Bennett admits. It takes drive, excellent communication ability, and commitment. "Ifa person wants to do it bad enough, they're willing to make the sacrifice of working all night andmaybe doing formats they don't like that much," she said. "I was on radio years before I ever got a dayshift. Front/Nancy Hazzard I did not have a life. I worked all night. I worked weekends. I worked longstretches of days in a row. I worked two to three jobs at once." Bennett has been at KAFE for fouryears. The station is humbly located at 2340 E. Sunset Drive among lots of trees and cozy homes.Outside, it almost looks like another house in the neighborhood, minus the yard. Inside, it's a littlemaze of offices, sound equipment, and computer screens. Each day's musical programming iscomputerized. A small case holds rows of Hit Discs — compact disc compilations of popular softrock songs. When a song is selected by title on the computer, the appropriate Hit Disc is chosenautomatically. Several printers are constantly running, keeping a log of all on-air happenings. Everysong, commercial and announcement is recorded. Continuing advancements in technology areonly improving radio for both listeners and programmers, Bennett said. "I think the sound qualitywe're getting on the air is superior," she said. "When I started radio, we were playing every thing off ofLPs or 45s. It's changed a lot." Being a DJ can be frustrating, Bennett said, because sometimespeople don't consider it a real job. "I think people always assume this is a transition to TV," shegrumbled. "I've been asked that for years. 'Oh, do you just do this so you can get into TV?' Theassumption always is that this is a stepping stone." Another wrong assumption is DJs get fatpaychecks, said Bennett. "People always think you make a lot of money," she said. "There are ahandful of announcers on the major market that make big money, but most people make a very averageliving." "You have to love what you do," Bennett said with conviction. "It's an interesting dichotomyin radio. For most people, sometimes the industry drives you crazy but you love it at the same time."?^ ---------- Western Front - 1994 September 27 - Page 17 ---------- September 27, 1994 — The Western Front FEATURES-17 am and a bundle of tubing build baidarkas inone of the Fairhaven Outback cabins. Christensen said the cabin will be open to those interested inlearning the kayak-building process. The baidarka kayak isn't just used for extensive voyages likeChristensen's. "Some get used in racing. There's a lot of kayak racing going on right now," Dyson said."But mainly people build my boats to go on long trips. That's why the Aleut-Russian hybrid design was so useful to us. Because it's the only case where a kayak was really designed for carrying lots of stuff onlong voyages." This is no exaggeration. The baidarka shells in the shop have plenty of space inside forequipment, clothes and food. Roomy —just like the workshop where Dyson creates them. Yet, exactlyhow much can one hide in a baidarka? "Too much, actually. It's like a suitcase; it's always full," Dysonsaid. "So if you have a big kayak you end up carrying too much stuff around." A kayaker who usuallypacks too much gear would be elated at the 25-foot triple baidarka hanging from the ceiling in the shop'sback room. Its huge aluminum frame features three passenger holes. "They're very practical boats forcertain things like school groups," Dyson said, looking up at the towering boat overhead. "There's a bigbusiness right now in commercial kayak groups. Triples would be perfect." In this way, beginners canride with more experienced kayakers, he said. Below the triple baidarka, bundles of long tubing rest onmetal holders. On the wall next to the tubing sit spools of nylon fly-fishing string, used for fastening thetubing into a frame. After Dyson or one of his customers builds the frame, they cover it with a tough nylon fabric that becomes the skin. Finishing touches like sails and water Slancy Hazzard ghts and braveds.andi35 knots-,.. luver Island for I permission to Front/Nancy Hazzard Front/Nancy Hazzard pumpscome later. Dyson said he's the only source in the world for baidarka aluminum tubing in long lengths. He also remains one of the very few people who design baidarkas, and was probably the first. Dysonestimates 500 baidarka vessels have been pieced together from the material he sells. The framematerials average around $200. The nylon skin costs roughly the same. This doesn't include the time andeffort used in making a baidarka. This is part of the reason Dyson seldom sells the boats he builds. Itwould take too much time — approximately two months per boat. Dyson has been featured in Timemagazine, a Japanese magazine and the book "Baidarka — The Kayak," which reveals Dyson's loveaffair with the baidarka-kayak. It chronicles his voyages from Bellingham to Alaska and the adventures he encountered along the way. The book also tells about the combined history of the Alaskan Aleuts andRussian settlers. Dyson doesn't kayak much anymore, if at all. His time is stretched between a bookhe's writing and his kayak company. "I get the urge (to kayak), but I don't act on it that much. Kayaking's become fashionable, and I tend to avoid fashionable things in a way," Dyson said, looking out the window again at the water and islands beyond. "But I'll get back to it."

And not just roses smell like roses. Others in the family Rosaceae — apples,for instance — reek of a rosesque essence. The peace and serenity of a typical rose garden has beenduplicated many times in history. Napoleon's Josephine endeavored to collect every known variety in the garden of her home, Malmaison. Eventually her garden contained some 250 varieties. She even hadships captured by the French navy searched for new species. The rose's attraction hasn' t altered much from those days in France — after all, each New Year's Day we celebrate with the Rose Parade inPasadena. The history of humankind's fascination with the rose dates back even further thanEurope's regal pleasures. The Greek physician Galen first developed cold cream from oil of roses, rosewater and white wax. Historians have said Nero spent the : '. equivalent of $200,000 on roses for a singlenight's debauchery. The Sybarites useid the first "beds of roses" when they stuffed tJaeir mattresseswith-rose petals. The RomahsV| floated rose leaves in wine to ward joff drunkenness. But roses aren't just for tea or wine anymore. One can even find wedding vows in the names of these fragrance-yielding flora— Love, Honor, Cherish. Or, how about Peace and Paradise? For many the word "rose" conjures up afragrance memory as equally well as the mental image of a pristine blossom. But many roses have littleor no odors. Others have light lemon-tinged bouquets, or heavy, almost sticky, fragrances. One lastbizarre bit of trivia, for those who are into conjuring for All Hallows' Eve: roses can be used, accordingto legend, to create an herbal love charm of sorts. The following "recipe for love" is excerpted from TheAvon Calendar of Roses. "While thinking constantly about the desired person, make a small bag from material that he or she has worn, but which hasn' t been washed since. Into the bag put three rosebudscarried next to your heart for a day, a lock of you hair and one of your lover's. "Tie the bag shut bywrapping it seven times with a red ribbon consecrated to Aphrodite. Clean the house, prepare dinner andfollow your own beauty rituals still thinking of your lover. "When the object of all this attention crosses the threshold- bury the bag under the doorsill. He or she will never want to leave you."

Strange-figured animals, colorful fish, peace, silence, Weightlessness and things that you've never knownare all there — under water. Dennis Withner, the owner of Washington Divers, Inc., has beenenslaved by the mystery of the water for more than 24 years. He Opened the store at 903 N.; StateSt.;in 1973, right after he g r a d u a t ed from Western. The little wooden store is often too smallfor the many scuba fans who visit him. Karen Withner, the shop's travel coordinator, also started scubadiving eight years ago, influenced by her husband. "You are weightless under water. It's like youbecome a bird," she said as she spread her arms like wings. "You don' t know what's down there."Many people like to dive in the summer because the water is warmer, but instructors recommend thewinter season, when the water is much clearer. Karen's most precious memory of diving was when shewent to Borneo. "The water is so clear, and you see huge turtles everywhere. You first start countingthem, but you soon get tired of it. More than 20 turtles are swimming next to you." Dennis hasplayed with d o l p h i n s n e a r Vancouver. "That was just a great f e e l i n g .

Many people might think scuba diving is not a safe sport, but Dennis says the chance of getting hurt is far less than a plane crash.

But never fear, pet shoppers. There arealternatives to spending hundreds of dollars for a furry friend; alternatives that will save lives as wellas money. Visitors to the Bellingham Humane Society are greeted by a chorus of barking, howling andmeowing. Mental images of sickly animals, penned in cramped, smelly cages are soon erased andreplaced by the reality of well-cared-for potential pets. There is a fee for adopting an animal ($60 fordogs, $48 for cats), but Gail Bisconer, animal care supervisor, said it's much cheaper than so-called"free" animals. The humane society animals are all altered (spayed or neutered), vaccinated andwormed. Bisconer said she did some research and found that for , .an owner to give the same care to a"free" pet it would cost be- , tween$110and$200. ;o^(io JIhe.kennels are cleaned every day, duringwhich time the animals go outside for a walk or to roam in the exercise yard. "The volunteers are reallygreat about walking the dogs. Almost every day all the dogs get walked," said Bisconer. "I've workedat different shelters and this is one of the best for making sure that the dogs get outside." The shelterhas 175 volunteers. Animals end up at the Hu-the public to see. Washington State law requires theshelter to keep stray animals for a minimum of 72 hours so an owner has sufficient time to retrieve thelost pet. However, Bisconer said fewer than two percent of pets are claimed. "People get a puppy, butthen it grows into a dog and all of a sudden it's not so cute anymore. They aren't willing to spend time totake care of the animal." — Gail Bisconer Animal care supervisor mane Society for a variety ofreasons, said Bisconer, but the majority are strays or are brought in by owners who are no longer able to take care of them. "People get a puppy, but then it grows into a dog and all of a sudden it's not so cuteanymore. They aren't willing to spend the time to take care of the animal," said Bisconer. When theanimal control officers first bring an animal to the shelter, it is put in a holding area so it can bechecked for ear mites, and be vaccinated and wormed. Animals .that are .sick.or; have bitten someoneare put in isolation for ten days. The healthy strays are then put in kennels for "We have a pre-adoption program so someone who wants one of the strays can put their name on the cage, and if anowner doesn't claim it, it's theirs," said Bisconer. If a stray isn't claimed after 72 hours, the staff decides whether or not the animal is adoptable. Several factors impact this decision, including the amount ofspace available at the shelter and the health and temperament of the animal. Animals that are foundnot to be adoptable are then put to sleep with an injection, of sodium pentobarbital. Bisconer says shetries not to get depressed about euthanizing pets. "They're being held and petted and talked to beforeand while it's happening. They're usually dead before the needle is pulled out. If I had to be put to sleep,this is the way I'd do it," she said. The fact that the Humane Society does euthanize animals is asource of concern for many people. There is another option for people who must give up their pet, butdon't want to run the risk of it being euthanized. The Alternative Humane Society of Whatcom Countyis dedicated to "ending animal overpopulation, abuse and neglect." The society does not euthanizehealthy animals. The entire staff and board is made up of approximately 18 volunteers and animals arecared for in foster homes. Laina Jansma is the vice president of the society and opens her home andheart to countless dogs and cats. Jansma has been a volunteer for the Alternative Humane Societysince 1978, one year after it was founded, and said the organization now has almost 20 volunteers.Visitors to Jansma's home will first notice that the living room seems to crawl with felines, all of whichare her own.

Well, maybe if AAA rated accommodations for travelersof the furry, four-footed persuasion. Pet's Western Inn, 2401 Fairhaven Pkwy., offers clients "airy newguestrooms, suites with piped-in music and unlimited water, frequent maid service and complementary,gourmet breakfasts." Also available on the property are a "beauty salon, gift shop and professionaltrainer." For some pet owners who choose to leave pets in the care of a neighbor, this might seemexcessive. But Cassandra Bernard, an employee at Pet's Western, said there's definitely a market forthe service. "During our busiest season, the summer months, we have as many as 25 dogs at a time,"Bernard said. "And we have a lot of repeat customers." The kennel facility, which accepts only catsand dogs, accommodates an average of 80 animals per month. Although most clients are residents ofWhatcom and Skagit counties, Bernard said the hotel has visitors from all over the country. Whetherthe animals at Pet's Western Inn are happy or not is difficult to determine. But a walk through the facility yielded large, clean cages and plenty of fresh air. The dogs were energetic, vocal, and, if tail action isan accurate indication, happy. The cats are housed in a separate wing of the inn. While Jasmine, aSiamese cat, was somewhat less than receptive to visitors, Smoky Joe, a Manx cat, sunned himself inthe loft, that featured a warm, western light exposure. Rates for boarding dogs at Pet's Western rangefrom $6 to $8 per day, depending on weight; cats are boarded for $6 per day. Indoor runs are available toall dogs, but for an additional $1.50 per day, an "athletic trainer" will run and play with the dogs on theouter property twice a day. All animals must have all required shots before they may be registered atthe inn. Grooming services are available at the facility. The "beauty salon" is operated by managerKaren Taylor, an experienced dog groomer. Pet's Western Inn accepts reservations; they've alreadybooked several "rooms" for the month of December. With the creative attitude that exists at the resort, itmay be interesting to see what attractions Pet's Western Inn will bring in for the holidays.

That would be the only explanation for theirsickening, childish display of greed and pettiness during this baseball strike. I've never attended lawschool, so I don't understand all the technical nuances the players and owners are bickering over, but Ican put it in a nutshell: The owners claim they need to put a cap on salary spending in order for small-market teams (like the Seattle Mariners) to survive, but the players don't want a salary cap because that would limit the amount of money they could be paid by their teams.

The owners aren't faultless in this situation either. They are responsible for driving up the salaries in the first place by throwing out recklessoffers to rookies and free agents. If they had used any forethought in the 1970s and 1980s, they couldhave avoided this whole mess. Now the strike has turned into a disgusting spectacle of spoiled littleboys saying "He's lying! Am not! Am so! Am not! Am so!" So much animosity and distrust has built up between the owners and players that it's hard to imagine a peaceable future for baseball.

Withmore than 70 players showing up for training camp in August, Collins finally had the tools to put together a well-balanced team. He had to do some heavy recruiting over the summer to convince players thatBelling-ham is a serious, stable operation. The past hislpl^fiipfer^rfty^ continuous ''management andowner turnover, scared away many players from joining the Ice Hawks. "'•'* •' However, thepurchase of the team by Brian Bartlett in 1993 and the re-establishing of Collins . as coachT'that sameyear brought; respectability back to the Ice? Hawks franchise. Collins' resume boasts a Masters degree in Athletic Ad-. ministration and an impressive coaching record, including piloting the Ice Hawks tothe British Columbia Junior Hockey League championship in 1991. When Collins was asked to return to the Ice Hawks, the day before training camp last year, only 46 players had shown up for the camp, andmany of those players were young and under-skilled; The team struggled to a 18-39-3 record. Returningplayers see major differences between this year's and last year's teams. "We have a lot more scoring potential," says Mike Patenaude, Ice Hawks veteran at right wing. • "And last year we didn't reallystick up for each other. This year we've already proved that we're going to stick up for each other. If weplay like'a family, things will just happen for us." The Hawks did indeed prove their togetherness in theirfirst game, a fight-filled 7-3 victory over the expansion Royal City Outlaws, Sept. 18. Patenaudereceived a four-game suspension for head-butting a player. -Three nights later the Hawks fell 9-4 to;the Surrey tEagles; in a sporadic^, effort." "We have a lot of young , fplayersrand maybe they^idrr^tiunderstand how important-60 minutes of work is, opposed to 12 ' minutes herejand there," Collins said."Alotofthemplayedmidget hockey and are coming out of programs where they didn't have to work as hard as they could for i6tf minutes.

Apparently the lesson was taken to heart by the Ice Hawks - j the team powered to a 6-5victory over division newcomer Langley Thunder last Sunday.

"Combined with their skill and their leadership Ihope to have them do a great job in the locker room and on the ice." The revamped BCJHL is nowdivided into the Coastal, Mainland and Interior divisions. Bellingham division includes: • ChilliwackChiefs • Langley Thunder • Royal City Outlaws • Surrey Eagles Chilliwack should be a strong,competitive team, along with the Surrey Eagles. Collins expects the Hawks to dominate the expansionOutlaws this season, and looks for a possible rivalry with the Langley Thunder. In the Interior Division the Kelowna Spartans are always a powerhouse, and in the Coastal Division Powell River, Nanaimo andCowichan should be strong teams. "The year's still young, but I'm excited," Collins saysj. "We have amuch better team, better character, a good group of kids. From the standpoint of the business end Ithink we'll be able to offer the fans a better product and hopefully the fans will support us and come outto the games." The Ice Hawks play their next home game against the Royal City Outlaws at 6 p.m.,Sunday Oct. 2. Student ticket prices range from $4 to $6. Students may avoid event turnaway with pass By Mike Stiles Front reporter Student athletic passes are now available for $15. The athletic passgrants a student entry to all varsity sports during the year, including volleyball, football and men's andwomen's basketball. These sports usually require a $2 admission. Students who attend many of these games will, save a lot of money. The basketball season alone costs a student $48 _ without a pass."If you went to 15 events (half of the events) you would save 50 percent right there," said Steve Card,associate director of athletics. With the year pass, students guarantee themselves a seat at some of the more popular events, which have had turnaway crowds in the past (i.e. football and basketball gamesvs. division rival Central Washington University.) "We're expecting to turn away the crowd for the Centralfootball game," said Sports Information Director Paul Madison. Besides giving students a good deal, thepasses will hopefully raise game attendance. Madison said the passes will bring in money for varsityprograms. Last year nearly 900 students purchased athletic passes. This year the athletic department hopes to sell more than 1,000. Passes can be purchased in the Varsity Athletic office in Haggard Hall207 or at the Plaza Cashier. xB ELL/PKIMAL WEAR/CATEYE/SYNCROS/OPl/PHILW00D/CRUPI/5ALSA/DIA-C0MPE/N1C5HT SUN/ANSWER/Mc MAHON/YETi/RITCHEY/UNO ID _ ) O£ o X o in _i gt; ID m ?

Stiles'two touchdown passes came in the second half, leading the Vikings to 24 unanswered second-halfpoints. JonBrunaugh rushed 28 times for 178 yards as Western overcame a sluggish first half thatended 7-7. "We were pleased with our second-half performance and quite honestly not surprised aboutgetting off to a slow start," Western coach Rob Smith said. "You can practice all you want, but thetempo of a game is so different that it is sometimes too much to ask to come out and be hitting on allcylinders," Smith said. Stiles tied the record held by Glenn Hadland, who played from 1968 to 1971, ona 28-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Starr on the opening drive of the second half, then broke it in the fourth quarter with a 15-yard strike to Mario Casello. In Saturday's game against the Willamette Bearcats, theVikings built a 28-0 lead early in the third quarter and cruised to an easy 42-14 victory. Jon Brunaughand Kevin Palmore each scored two touchdowns and the Western defense pressured Willamettequarterbacks all game long, forcing them to throw five interceptions. Greg Malo and Bill Christensenhad two interceptions apiece. "We came out and did what . we wanted," Defensive Coordinator RobinRoss said in a post-game interview. "The first.half was exceptional. The second half there were someinjuries and the fatigue factor started playing." "The defensive line got in and got good pressure on thequarterback, forced him to throw it up," Malo added. Stiles completed 18 of 31 . passes for 207 yards and two touchdown passes. Kevin Palmore and Christian Evans had five receptions apiece for theVikings. Western started the scoring on a 40-yard field goal by Wade Gebers with 4:35 remaining inthe first quarter. Willamette fumbled the ensuing kickoff and recovered it in their own end zone for asafety. Two plays later, Jason Stiles hit Palmore for a 50-yard touchdown pass. A two-point conversiongave Western a 13-0 lead. Western's lone score in the second quarter came on a 62-yard run by JonBrunaugh, who finished the game with 122 yards, his 12th career 100-yard rushing game and his second this season. Another two-point conversion made the score 21-0. "He's (Brunaugh) a much strongerback than last year be- Steinauer blows out knee, Ail-American lost for season "You hate to lose anyplayer, and especially someone, who has given so much to this team," said Coach Rob Smith about thedevastating injury to cornerback Orlando Steinauer. Steinauer felt a pop in his knee as he was returningan interception in Western's 42-14 win at Willamette. It was a bittersweet day for Steinauer, who earlier in the contest set the Western all-time career punt return yardage mark (503). Last week he set the single-game record against Western Oregon State College (115). The honorable mention NAIA All-American in'93 must undergo surgery to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. If there is a silverlining to the injury, it is that Steinauer will likely be given another year of eligibility by applying for an injury hardship from the NAIA. The loss of Steinauer could not have come at a more inopportune time. Nextweek Western battles No.6 Linfield; the following Saturday is against Southern Oregon State College,which has the nation's top passing offense. "Sometimes a team can rally around something like this, and we're looking for that to happen in this case," Smith said in a press release. "It also presents anopportunity for others to step up." •7 M X-^ Lift PINATft * Mexican Restaurant Restaurant LoungeMon.-Thur. 11-10 Mon. 11-10 Fri. 11-11 Tues.-Fri. 11-12 Sat. 12-12 Sat. 12-12 Sun. 12-12 .

"Now, he's breaking armtackles." Western's two touchdowns in the third quarter were set up by long kickoff returns that broughtthe Vikings into Willamette territory. The offense capped the first drive with a 17-yard touchdown runby Brunaugh, and the second on a pass from Stiles to Palmore. Willamette scored both theirtouchdowns in the third quarter, the first on a 1-yard run by Chuck Pinkerton and the second on an 18-yard pass near the end of the quarter. Western's final touchdown came early in the fourth quarter on a45-yard run by John Frazier, who rushed for 85 yards in limited playing time. "He's a very talented back," coach Smith said of Frazier. "We need to have more than Jon Brunaugh to carry the load. He's a young kid and he's making the most of an opportunity." Western suffered apotentially serious blow in thesecond quarter when All-American cornerback and punt returner Orlondo Steinauer's knee gave out onan interception return. The severity of the injury is unknown, but he was able to put weight on the legduring postgame interviews. "It's an obvious concern," Smith said. "He's one of the leaders on thisfootball team. We're going to keep our fingers crossed and hope the best for Orlondo." Doctors will waitfor X-ray results before determining how long Steinauer will be out. Steinauer had injured the knee earlier on a punt return. Western will host Linfield at 1:30 p.m Saturday. The contest will match two of the topten teams in this week's NAIA Division II National Poll.

If you were the coach of the best team in professional basketball, duringthe off-season you would: A. Take a well deserved vacation to Bermuda, Jamaica or any other sun-drenched hideaway the Beach Boys sing about. B. Embark on a nationwide speaking tour, preachingthe value of hard work and a win-at-all-costs attitude. C. Get stuck in a web of trade rumors involvingyour star player. Trade your best clutch shooter because he doesn' t get along with your flashy pointguard. And defend your style of trapping defense and random offense to hordes of fans and sportsanalysts. Can anyone guess which choice best describes George Karl's summer? (If you picked A orB, please put down the paper and exit the testing center immediately). The Sonics began theirsummer hiatus by losing the NBA executive of the year, team president Bob Whitsitt. Karl, then bothcoach and interim team president, demanded a new contract. All-Stars Shawn Kemp and GaryPayton skipped the final team meeting. Payton was later excused with a note from his doctor. Kemp's absence was unexcused and he was subjected to a summer of NBA detention (trade talks with theChicago Bulls for Scottie Pippen). Speaking of trade talks, a team would have to be nuts not to listen to the Bulls' offer to deal Pippen. Even if Pippen is a whiner who's still trying to squeeze the letter "I" intothe word team. He is one of the NBA's premiere "go-to-guy s" (apologies to Sonic fans for using such aprofane phrase). Kemp should be honored just to be mentioned as an equal to Pippen. After the DenverNuggets ousted the Sonics from the first round of the playoffs in May, Karl promised Seattle fans that he would call every NBA team with a "go-to-guy" (sorry) and offer to make a deal. It comes as nosurprise that no team, except the Bulls, was interested in dealing such a player. The Sonics thentraded Ricky Pierce and first-round draft pick Carlos Rogers to the Golden State Warriors for SarunasMarciulionis and Byron Houston. Houston will attempt to fill the rebounding void left by Michael Cage,who signed as a free agent with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Marciulionis teams with Kendall Gill as the only Sonics who will consistently take the ball to the hoop. His hard-driving style fears no man, not even a7-foot-2-inch giant named Mutombo. Pierce had to be dealt to repair Payton's bruised ego. It was hurt during game two of the Denver series when the 12-year veteran questioned the fourth-year point guard'sball distribution. Karl needs to look past Payton and into the. hearts of Nate McMillan, Detlef Schrempfand newly-signed free agent center Bill Cartwright for team leadership.

How will this affect everyone else? Next time you ride the shuttle tocampus or fly in a plane or ride the monorail in Seattle, you will be riding in a safer environment, at leastwhere the driver is concerned. It might also open the way for drug testing to expand from federal andstate agencies into the private sector. Employee-mandated drug testing has been a sticky subject since the $500 million drug testing industry took off in the mid- 1980s. On one side, the champions ofprivacy have decried the evils of drug testing, while businesses have argued public safety is moreimportant. Privacy is an important issue, but does it extend into the workplace? Where do we as asociety draw the line? At the company locker, the executive bathroom, the contents of a drug tester'scup? Can we compare the lives of hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives to the rights of one person?Unfortunately, it seems that drug tests occur after an accident happens. We hear weeks after trainaccidents and plane crashes occur that the pilot was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Many livesmight have been saved if the new rule had been in effect. A study completed in April of 1994 polled 794large and mid-size companies on their drug-testing policies. The study, done by American ManagementAssociation, found that 87.2 percent of the companies tested for drugs and alcohol. So what's theproblem? If it saves lives, and all it requires you to do is pee into a cup, what's the big deal? If you'reinnocent, you don't have to worry. If you're guilty, you'll get punished and maybe the help you need. Fiftypercent of the companies polled also referred their employees who test positive to drug treatmentprograms. Of course, it's not that simple. The study also found that at least a quarter of the companiesdid not follow commonly recommended procedures when the tests come back positive. ResearchDirector of the AMA Eric Greenberg said, "The problem is that the urine tests widely used to checkinitially for drug use often fail to distinguish between legal and illegal substances." This could be solved,Greenberg went on to say, by double-checking results and also by new technology that can distinguish between drugs like antihistamines and amphetamines, which can mimic illegal drugs in some oldertests. If done correctly, these tests could save lives and jobs. It's in a company's best interest to havetheir employees clean, sober and working. In today's job market, the moral high ground isn't going to put food on the table if you refuse to take a drug test. So, if a drug test could save you or someone youknow, isn't it worth giving up a little privacy? A new form of control This country is ferociously engaged in, one of the biggest wars in our nation's young history. It's not a war against a foreign country or abattle to uphold democracy throughout the world. Instead, the United States is spending billions ofdollars fighting a bloody war against its own citizens, on its own turf. Remember the infamous '80sphrase, "The War on Drugs"? Even though our current administration wants its huddled masses tobelieve the "war" is over, the truth is that our government has finally gotten the upper hand. After adecade of fighting drug cartels, drug king pins, drug smugglers and drug dealers, the nation's forces havefocused on the simple user. They have realized that the only successful way to stop this nation's drugproblem is employee drug testing. It's the simple solution to the biggest problem this country has evertried to solve. The scenario is quite easy to see. In order for any American to get a job in this country,their urine had better be free of those devilish little toxins that can say so much. Fill out an application,check the references and go take a pre-employment drug test. The idea is this: If you use drugs, don'tplan on getting a decent job. The government is forcing its capitalistic enterprises to institute a drugtesting policy at their place of business. If a company doesn't have some sort of drug testing, then beready to pay through the nose during tax time. So what is the government's offensive move in their longand stupid war on drugs? Attack the user and cut off the demand. It's simple economics: no demand, no supply. Now several entrepreneuing companies are quickly coming out with new and improved waysto test for drugs in the workplace, making the tests impossible to beat. If you want that great job youalways dreamed about, then the only answer is to quit using drugs. After years of blood, machine gunsand Escobars, the United States has finally figured it out. Quit spending billions of dollars fightingbloody battles trying to put a dent in some powerful drug cartel. Instead, spend less money and lose less lives by simply going after the user. How do they go after the simple user in effective means? Simple— enforce drug testing in the workplace. For years,, the number of companies with some sort of drugtesting was minuscule. In today's business world, corporate magazines inform employers of the newwave in the ocean that is drug testing. The forces behind the surge in drug testing at the office are muchmore organized and collected than those against. Get ready people, this is only the beginning.When this country finds something that works, they bleed it dry and work it over like a gardener turning over his field. Freedom from drug testing not a guaranteed right| Should business owners andsupervisors be able to require drug testing in the work place? Is it legal? Is it fair? The answer to bothis "yes!" It is legal and fair to drug test. The legal question is the easiest to dispense with. Testing can be divided into two parts. The first part is testing before hiring. No one is forced to take the test beforethey are hired; it is a voluntary choice made by someone who is applying for a job, thus legal. Testingafter being hired is the second part. Drug use is not covered under any right to privacy clause. It is not aguaranteed right. Actually, nowhere in the Constitution is it mentioned that drug use is permitted,let alone insured. So it cannot be an infringement of rights to require drug testing or even to dismiss someone on proof of drug use. The fairness issue is more hotly debated with the same lack ofsubstance. Can someone be held accountable for what they do in their spare time? Again the answeris "yes." If someone uses drugs in their free time, it can influence their work performance. Whether it is part of last night's high, a left over wooziness, or just concentrating on the next fix, drug use can have a negative effect on job performance. Business owners and supervisors have some limitations andregulations surrounding dismissals and hirings, including quotas and discriminations based on gender,color and religion. They can, however, hire or not hire based on drug test results. It can even bedescribed as a responsibility to society. If they hire and pay drug users, it could be considered ascontributing to the problem by supporting users while users support their habit. Most importantly, druguse is a crime. Yes, it is illegal. No employer is required to hire a criminal or continue employing alawbreaker. If businesses wish to conduct drug testing, it is legal, it is fair, and more power to them. ---------- Western Front - 1994 September 27 - Page 27 ---------- September 27,1994 — The Western Front 27 Based on enrollment during your first visit, $19.00 monthly dues based on Electronic Funds Transfer (E.F.T.). $5.00 Annual Membership Card Fee. ---------- Western Front - 1994 September 27 - Page 28 ---------- 28 • OP/ED The Western Front — September 27, 1994 Don't look now, political ads are backWashington state's primary elections were only a warm-up for the deluge of political advertisementsthe public will be forced to endure as the November general election approaches. In other words, it'sgoing to get a lot worse. Once again it will be time to drag out the barf bags as battling politiciansassault voters and non-voters alike with how wonderful they are. If you've watched television or listenedto the radio over the past few weeks, you've probably been the victim of one of these nauseatinglywholesome commercials. It seems as if everybody who is running for Congress in Washington state is a fabulous person with a stellar background. Incumbent Democrat Mike Kreidler, who is seeking toretain his seat in the 9th Congressional District, has been relying, in part, on television ads, one of which exploits the war hero angle. The commercial in question shows Kreidler holding an M-16 rifle while heexplains this is the type of weapon used to defend the country during the Gulf War, but such a weaponshouldn't be allowed for sale to the general public, hence his I'm-tough-on-crime vote in favor of theassault weapons ban. Of course, discerning viewers will wonder how Kreidler got his hands on aweapon that is banned. Maybe it's one of those perks members of Congress get. In any case, anillegally-armed politician is a scary sight. Another gem of a commercial touts republican Sen. SladeGorton as the greatest thing since sliced bread and makes us wonder how we ever got along withouthim. There's quite a cross section of people featured who sing the praises of Gorton: a Boeing worker, a police officer who assures us Gorton is all for the war on drugs and a group of elderly ladies whosesole purpose in life appears to be getting Slade Gorton reelected to the Senate. Gorton's catchycampaign slogan is also introduced in this commercial: "Slade Gorton—He Works for You." Apparently Slade Gorton is working so hard for us he couldn' t make it to Washington state for something as minoras primary election night, instead staying.in Washington, D. C. During the next month or so, thesecommercials and many others like them will attempt to get in the way of the perfectly good notion ofpoliticians as greedy weasels who will say and do anything to stay in office. After all, if politicians wereas wonderful as their ads portray them, why would people think so little of them? There is one thing to be thankful for, however. The next time you're made ill by seeing or hearing about a hard-working, baby-kissing candidate with a snappy campaign slogan, who just happens to be a war hero and a friend tosmall animals, remember, it could be worse: it could be a presidential election year. Apartmentsshould provide recycling site After two years of apartment living, I' ve noticed a disappointing trenddeveloping: no recycling bins for the apartment buildings. Western and Bellingham are both very enviro-conscious, so it is hard to understand why these places, which house and educate many Generation- Xrecyclers, don't provide some sort of recycling system. Inquiring into the subject at my first building, theanswer was: "We tried it, but it was too much of a hassle." The answer at my new apartment wassimilar but more disturbing: "We tried it, but the tenants put newspaper in with the glass and garbage inwith the newspaper." In short, the tenants—college students — didn' t care about the recycling. Myroom mates and I decided bin or not, we would recycle. (That is until one roommate decided we were slobs for saving cans and threw them away.) Rumors of dumping fines for depositing recyclables inother people's bins scared us away from bringing it up to campus or dumping it at the neighboringapartment complex. Because it is illegal to dump any recylables on campus, we didn't attempt thatroute to get rid of our pile of usable garbage. Western has also run into problems with people notseparating recyclables and dumping garbage in with the bottles and paper. Plus, it's more work for them. No matter what the reason, it's just another dead end in the search for a recycling site. Who deserves the blame in this situation isn't exactly clear. Is it the property managers and landlords that don'twant the hassle? Is it the students and others who don't want to take the time to recycleconscientiously? Or is it the "dumping police" who fine well-meaning souls whose only type of eco-terrorism is dumping her recyclables at the neighbor's place? Choice "D" (all of the above) may be thebest answer. We all need to work together on the three R's of the '90s: reduce, reuse, recycle. Itstarts with a simple effort do a little sorting of glass, cans and paper. Then it requires your interestedneighbors to do the same. Next, property managers and landlords need to provide the bins and the pick-up service. The responsibility falls back on tenants at that point. We need to police our actions byrecycling properly or not at all. Another way to aid in this quest is to know where we can recycle. Several places in town offer recycling, and you may even be able to make a little money from the cans. Thephone book or the Associated Students Recycle Center can point you in the right direction. Recycling is really nothing more than a good habit. With a little training and incentive, it becomes automatic. All we need is to start that good habit and make it one to last a lifetime. Oh, and curbside pick-up would benice.

Another year has started here at Western; sleepy eyes are staring blankly at professors,freshmen are wondering if they'll ever graduate, and fifth-year seniors are wondering if stay ing onemore term would really be so bad in the grand scheme of things. Since most people don't have enoughto think about already, here are some of the hot questions Western students ponder while waiting fortheir next overpriced N1B111 Anderson latte — and some answers: How do I get a staff person to dowhat I want, such as giving me an add code even though I'm last on the waiting list? Be nice, and don'texpect anything the first time you go to schmooze. Staff members know what you're trying to do. Whyaren 't staff people more friendly? This is a self-perpetuating problem. The staff has to deal withhundreds of students per day. By the time they see you, even if you get there at 8 a.m., they're tired ofyou. The thing is, staff members are nice. They just pretend they're not so you won't keep buggingthem. They may have a point; most of the time, they can't solve your problem. But be nice. It can' t hurt.Even if you don't get what you want, you might impress them, and then they will be nicer to the next one who comes pounding on their door. Why is only one section of the class required for my major offered only once per year? No one knows. This is one instance where you must go and complain to youradviser. Don't bother going to the top — administration will just blame it on the budget. Remember,advisers are magic; they can waive almost anything if you're, that's right, nice.

Unfortunately, this means they might not vote on any issues at all. The Western Frontinformally surveyed students in Red Square Monday. Of 35 people surveyed, only a few were registeredto vote in Whatcom County, and only two actually voted in the Sept. 20 election. The rest were registered in other counties, and two-thirds of those said they would not transfer their voter registration to Whatcom County while they were going to Western. These numbers indicate that most students are not interestedin . voting in Whatcom county. Because many Western students live off campus, we are affected byhousing ordinances, rent increases, food and utility prices, etc. At more than 10,000 strong, we are asignificant number in Bellingham's 55,000-merhber community. We are not only a large physicalpresence, but a substantial economic presence as well. But the problem of unconnectedness does notend there. After we leave Western, many of us will follow a job and possibly move from city to citythroughout our careers. Others of us might settle down in a suburb, but if we are commuting to anotherarea for work, then we might only have as much interest in the place we live as when we did at Western. We pay our taxes like we have to, but how the city, county, state and federal governments spend ourmoney is completely out of our hands. Because people don't feel a sense of community in an area, theydon't care, they are uninformed — they don't vote. As students, we need to acknowledge that ourpresence in Bellingham and Whatcom County affects the community, and as voters we need to keepourselves as informed as possible because the happenings in City Hall affect us whether we care or not.—Vanessa Blackburn Editor-in- Chief The Western Front Editor-in-Chief, Vanessa Blackburn; Managing editor, Tedra Meyer; Associate editor/News, Pat McCarrell; asst.

BEF0RCUWTON AND HIS AIDES CAME UPWITH "OPERATION- 4JPH0LP PSHQCKGY'' h?£\t OTHER NAMESW££ E|IMQ , UASONKEUSr I) "WE. WeSTEfc.YJ P«2Mr Why is the U.S. 'saving' Haiti? What do Haiti, Cuba and China have incommon? If you said human rights violations, then you are correct. Unfortunately, for each situationthe term "human rights violations" seems to have different meanings and corresponding actions from Washington, D.C. An excerpt from the conservative magazine National Review summarized theUnited States' human rights policy as: "Right-wing regimes are intolerable, small Communistcountries are tragic, and very big Communist countries are markets." Haiti falls into the firstcategory, Cuba the second and China the third. President Clinton has brought the full wrath of theUnited States to bear on the military dictators of Haiti, lamented over the condition of Cubans andgranted favored-nation status to China. After months of posturing, Clinton finally unleashed his firststrike team, consisting of former President Carter, former Joint Chief of Staff Colin Powell and someother guy no one has ever heard of. The three stooges — excuse me, men — managed to end theconflict in Haiti by getting the military dictators, led by Lt. Gen. Raoul Cedras, to agree to exilethemselves. Clinton plans to establish a democracy that will be led by ousted President Jean-BertrandAristide, who just happens to be the one who appointed Cedras to military leader of Haiti's armed forcesin 1991, who just happens to be the one who overthrew him within a year. Why now? Why not two years ago, three years ago? Within the span of three years that Cedras controlled Haiti, several horribleacts were committed against the people of Haiti, most of them Aristide supporters. Dur-iRllNlE Lundberg front reported ing this time, boat-loads of Haitians have been trying to get away from the volatilesituation. But only when these people started to come in greater numbers did the White House becomeinterested, and that was only to publicly denounce the "intolerable acts of human rights violations"committed by Cedras and his cronies. It seems Clinton wanted to avoid another fiasco like Somalia, where the warlords still control the country where he sent thousands of troops to stop the humanrights violations. Perhaps still smarting from the beating he took in the media after his first attempt atsignificant foreign policy, Clinton decided to hold back on the Haitian question. But what about theslaughters in the street, the lives lost in a vicious civil war? Where was the bleeding heart of thepresident then, or the democrats in Congress? This civil war would be continuing today if not for theactions of a third party. The United Nations? Not likely. No, this proverbial push on the tush of Clinton'sconscience came from an old cigar-smoking friend from a suburb of Florida— Fidel Castro. Did youever wonder about the sudden appearance of thousands of Cuban refugees so close on the heels ofthe Haitians? When Castro saw the United States' hesitation to accept the Haitian refugees, he jumpedat the chance to show up his northern neighbors, not to mention get rid of a few undesirables. In theface of a Cuban and Haitian exodus, Clinton had two choices: accept or deny both or neither. If heaccepted one, he lost all support from the other nations!' The remaining choices also presentedproblems: If Clinton allowed- the refugees in, he would be setting himself up for some hard looks at his domestic policies, already under incredible scrutiny for his health and crime bills. A military incursioninto Cuba or Haiti, on the other hand, would offer Clinton a chance to redeem himself for Somalia andsolve at least half of the refugee problem. But which one? Of course Haiti is the only answer. The United States is not prepared to go to war with Cuba, which is much better prepared to face a U.S.-led invasion force. It's also exactly what Castro wants: a chance to show up the Americans one last time. Now theinvasion is over. Instead, 15,000 U.S. troops and a . few U.N. observers are baby-sitting Aristide and his fledgling democracy until they can take care of themselves. Meanwhile, Cedras and his cronies willbe allowed to leave thecountry to live in "comfortable exile," as the state department said. But nowCedras is claiming he has no intention of going anywhere. It appears that Clinton's humanitarianpolicy extends to military dictators but not their victims. By the way, a recent delegation to Chinafound the Chinese peoples' human rights "troubling." As of this date, the import of Chinese goods isunabated to our ports. Maybe Cedras should have thought about producing illegal fireworks and thoselittle finger traps. ---------- Western Front - 1994 September 27 - Page 31 ---------- September 27,1994 — The Western Front OP/ED . 31 New plan to curb forest fires only a politicallymotivated solution U.S. Senator Slade Gorton's latest timber-harvesting proposal has set a number ofnew rages blazing. He and others anxious to open federal timber lands are using this season's forestfires to push for easier access to billions of board feet and millions of dollars. They're fueling man'sperpetual fear of fire to satisfy greed. One can only admire the smart politics — use human fear topreserve an economy about to bust — what a novel idea. Gorton's proposal includes language thatwould exempt some harvests off federal lands from environmental protection laws, passed to help protect fish and wildlife. Such amendments to the laws would allow thinning (selective logging) and removal of dead, dying and burnt timber. AH of this legal side-stepping — for the sole purpose to reduce "existing fuel loads and improve the health of the forests"? Not that any one could blame them. In the first part ofthis year, timber revenues from Board of Trust forest lands (forest set aside in trust to provide money forstate schools) in one Washington county have exceeded $2.2 million. An additional $6 million isexpected from that county' s lands by year's end, according to state documents. That's a lot of taxmoney to make up if Washington taxpayers have to support their schools instead of letting theecosystem do it for them. Though m u c h m o n e y pours into the state's coffers from the timbertrust, the schools and their patrons, especially those of small timber towns, are very dependent on the secondary timber dollar to maintain an acceptable quality of life. Funny how we learn in classes atWestern (such as ecology or fire ecology) that fire can be one of the most beneficial "traumas" in theforest environment. Some trees, such as pines, require the high heat of a burn and the sunlight of anopen area to succeed as seedlings. Plus, fire releases the nutrients locked in plant structures soyoung seedlings can absorb the elements from the soil. Hopefully, they can do this quickly enough toestablish a system that will protect the soil from leaching. We only consider fire, a requirement oflife for some things, a trauma because it threatens our homes, our beautiful vistas or our We onlyconsider fire, a requirement of life for some things, a trauma because it threatens our homes, our beautiful vistas or our revenue. ... How advantageous that 250,000 acres (of forests) scorched just whenenvironmental regulations were curbing the use of federal forest lands. revenue. Many couldn't care lessabout a living green thing on the individual level — they're too busy worrying about tourist and otherwise-generated greenbacks. How advantageous that 250,000 acres scorched just when environmentalregulations were curbing the use of federal forest lands. Perhaps another selling point of such aproposal could be jobs for unemployed timber workers. They can just be put to work cleaning up to"improve the health of the forests" by working to clear fire fuel — which is just about everything in aforest, except for rocks and creeks. It is true the nation has seen some horrific forest fires because ofpast fire-protection policies. But according to recent reports in The Bellingham Herald, several of thisstate's democrats believe such fire-fuel problems can be handled within — — the existing law. Maybe instead of devising ways to bastardize ef- • fective laws in hopes of a short-term fix for anumber of horrendous problems, ones no longeron the state's horizon, the people could spend timewisely by brain storming other job and revenue options. When trying to handle forest fires, the bestsolution is to devise a compromise that doesn't employ any selective cuts to state environmentalprotection laws.

Together they put last week's science fiction convention, Viking Con, $1,500 inthe red. Viking Con, put on by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Club, lost about $1,500, said ArthurOwen, Viking Con budget authority. To put on the convention, the SFFC received loans totalling $5,600from the Associated Students Activities Council. The SFFC was to repay the loan by May 1. Because of the loss, Owen said, the club will not be able to repay the loan. Terri Echelbarger, AS Vice President for Activities, said the SFFC has been good about repaying loans in the past. Owen said the annualscience-fiction fair ended up competing with Dr. Who, a science-fiction show. Viking Con and Dr. Whopromoters had a joint-operating agreement, hoping to attract larger overall attendance and not operatein exclusion of each other. Owen said the Dr. Who show may have drained the potential Viking Concrowd. "We figured the Dr. Who event may have taken about $ 1,000 from us," he said. The club alsobought more Viking Con T-shirts than it sold. Owen said the club spent between $400 and $500 on theshirts and plans to sell the shirts on consignment at the bookstore next week to recoup some of itslosses. Another miscalculation was a TV commercial that advertised the convention. The $620 spotaired four times during showings of "Star Trek" on KVOS TV, Bellingham. Owen said he hasn'tcompleted sifting through the questionnaires he distributed during the convention, but he thought fewwho attended Viking Con actually saw the commercial. The commercial cost $200 to make and and$105 for each of the four showings. "We won't do that again," he said. Owen said they could havetrimmed costs in other ways too. Guest speakers Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle were flown in fromCalifornia on first-class seats. Viking Con also picked up the tab for their hotel rooms and meals whilethey were in town. "Next year's Viking Con. will be operated on a scrooge-type budget," Owen said."Next tirne we won't pay for first-class air fare. If the guest speakers say they won't come unless they flyfirst class, then we won't bring them." Miscalculation number five: expected attendance was about 500;only 375 people showed. "We anticipated around 500 to show up and only 375 did. We feltcomfortable with the 500 figure," he said. Next year, Owen said, Viking Con planners, himself included,will expect only J 50 people to attend. WashPIRG campaigns to keep Hanford clean By Brian Malveystaff reporter Western will be exposed to "Forty Years of Nuclear Waste at Hanford" tonight, whenrepresentatives of the Washington Public Interest Research Group and a nuclear waste disposalcorporation square-off at 7 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge. Gerry Pollet, executive director ofWashPIRG, said tonight's forum is part of WashPIRG's campaign to prevent the selection of the HanfordReservation as the nation's first high-level nuclear waste repository. Pollet will be joined by BrettRedfearn, a WashPIRG lobbyist from The Evergreen State College, and Ron Prosser, a nuclear wastemanager for Rockwell Hanford, a division of Rockwell International, Corp.. Rockwell manages thedisposal of high-level waste at Hanford for the Pentagon and is a major contractor for the study andtesting of Hanford for selection as the waste repository site. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982authorized the Department of Energy to find a permanent site for storing the nation's high-level nuclearwaste. More than 80 commercial reactors and three military installations presently store high-level wacte on-site in the form of spent nuclear fuel rods and fission by-products. Three sites, including Hanford, are being considered by the DOE for the construction of the repository one-to-three thousand feet belowthe surface. The law allows the governor or the legislature of the state selected for the repository to file a "notice of disapproval" similar to a veto. A majority of both houses of Congress could override the veto. Pollet said WashPIRG wants voters also to have the right to file the notice. He said the group will try toinfluence elections this year and convince legislators to guarantee voters a referendum on the veto ifHanford is selected. He said if such a referendum is not made law, WashPIRG would begin collectingthe 150,000 signatures necessary to put an initiative on the ballot in 1987. The DOE has scheduled thefinal site selection for 1991. Construction of the $27 billion repository would begin in 1993. The nation'shigh-level nuclear waste would be transported to the repository from reactors across the nation beginning in 1998. Pollet said nuclear waste forums have been held on and off campuses in Seattle and Olympiato educate and involve students and others in WashPIRG's "Don't Sacrifice Washington" campaign. y ---------- Western Front - 1986 April 29 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1986 • A window of a Ridgeway Kappa room wasreported broken at 10:55 p.m., April 19.

Protest roars at research • PROTEST, from p. 1 first heard about therequest from people who called to ask about it. With megaphone in hand, Piatt led the small gatheringin an animal-rights version of "This Land is Your Land," which included the lyrics "This lab is your lab."Other demonstrators sang along while holding signs with slogans such as, "Their eyes don't lie," and"Don't teach cruelty." A strong, cold wind blew across Red Square, keeping the usually curiousori/ookers moving. Piatt passed the megaphone to others in the group. No one seemed to haveprepared " statements. Piatt said the small turnout probably was due to the bad weather and conflictingclass schedules. Heidi Harbert wore a gorilla mask with a mock bloody bandage. She said, "If I couldbring a monkey with wires in its head, I would." About 20 minutes after the demonstration began, twoprotesters arrived with a small pseudo coffin. Harbert removed the mask and said, "The coffin is inmemory of all the primates who have suffered." Amanda Fleming, a member of Western's UniversityPlanning Council last year, said, "I sure am opposed. This kind of thing has gone on before. I've heard(Prim has) used cats." Kelly said Western was not conducting duplicate experiments and all animalsused in research are checked by a veterinarian Who visits kbs Unannounced several times a year.He also said every research experiment and proposal is reviewed by a committee of faculty, staff andnon-university personnel. Kelly emphasized that students conduct none of the research and are usedonly as lab assistants. Demonstrator Mark Peterson, whose barking dog Naya kept the crowdamused, said, "We have to extend ideas of morality to the rest of the animals. We're animals, too."The protestors marched from Fisher Fountain to one end of Miller Hall, but didn't enter. Piatt then led the group up the front stairs of Old Main. They went past the president's office and to the end of the fourthfloor hall. Most of the faculty seemed to be at lunch.

Federal Way ---------- Western Front - 1986 April 29 - Page 3 ---------- TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 3 Panel blasts Reagan's actions on Libya By KevenGraves staff reporter Agreeing the attacks were illegal, unethical and unnecessary, panelists blastedthe recent U.S. bombing of Libya at a public forum Thursday in the Viking Union Lounge. Bill McCord,from the Associated Students Environmental Center, moderated the forum. Panelists included Rev.William Sodt, member of the U.N. Association and former minister at Western's Campus ChristianMinistry; Leonard Helfgott, of the history department and expert on Middle East studies; and Ken Distlerof the American/ Arab A n t i - D i s c r i m i n a t i o n Committee. Before the discussion started, anorganizer of the forum apologized for the biased panel. He said it was not the original intent to onlypresent one side of the issue. Distler, speaking first, said the U.S. attack on Libya will not stopterrorism. "I. dqn't think that, was Reagan's main purpose there," he said, adding he believes the intentwas to kill Moammar Khadaffy. Reagan's idea that "Terrorists are attacking us because they are 'maddogs' or because 'we're there.' is not an adequate explanation. Distler said. Until a Palestinian state iscreated. Distler said, this kind of terrorism will continue. The United States is seen as having aMH^^^rtHMtei^^fej REV. WILLIAM SODT . major role in preventing the creation of a Palestinesettlement on the West Bank. For example. Distler said, the United States was believed to have funded a 1982 Israeli drive to destroy the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). "This doesn't give theArab World a good feeling." he said. The bombing of Libya. Helfgott said, "forced a false andtemporary unity of the Arab world." Looking at the attack in a "very pragmatic perspective," he said, "itdidn't do what (Reagan) set out to do. It didn't kill Khadaffy." But the bombing created this temporaryunity, he said. "The Palestinian issue is the fulcrum to the Middle East problems." Helfgott said. Twodays after the bombing of Damascus. Syria's capital, "the PLO vowed a united resistance against theUnited States." Helfgott said the panel agreed terrorism practiced - by the Libyans needs to be stopped. However, he said, the United States "could bring Khadaffy down" by not buying Libyan oil. But. headded, that would mean "stepping on the toes of the big oil companies." Sodt was the most outspokenof the speakers. "What the United States did was terrorism," he said. "It was an act of war, and it wastreated as an act of war. committed by the United States without the direct approval of Congress." Thiswas a violation of the War Powers Act, he said. "We've been given a lot of hooey by (Speaker of theHouse Thomas) Tip O'Neill and members of Congress," Sodt said. "They are afraid to speak up." Thebombings also were against the laws restricting assassination ..of foreign leaders, he added. .. .".: "Itwas not surprising at all Reagan did this," Sodt said. "We've always erribraced terrorism as part of ourforeign policy." The "despicable" things the United States has done, he said, include the bombing ofHiroshima and Nagasaki and the involvement in Vietnam and Grenada. "Reagan is a liar, no doubtabout it," Sodt said. Reagan lied about the Sandinistas and Con-tras, he said, asking "What can we dobut wonder about these lies? Can we believe what Reagan says about Libyan connection to the bombing of the Berlin discotheque? "What we should do is act like a great power," Sodt said, meaning theUnited States needs to "get to the root of the problem and not act in a rattlesnake mentality." A student asked the group about the United States' European allies and their stance of non-support for thebombing. "We've taken the position we're the policeman of the free world," Helfgott said. "Reagan didn'task the American people before bombing Libya, and he didn't ask other countries." "I think most of ushave got the feeling it's not right," Sodt said. Panelists then were asked why they thought Libya,terrorism and Khadaffy suddenly were such major issues. Sodt said he did not believe it was a suddenissue. •-•• "Reagan has been talking and talking for five years building up to this," he said. :- "Itcenters around the Palestinians." Helfgott added. "We have not forced the Israelis to create aPalestinian state." A student asked how realistic the idea of establishing a Palestinian homeland is.Helfgott said, "I think it is very realistic." However, he added, "It is somewhat of a pipe dream in thepolitical context now. As long as the United States gives Israelis a free hand to do what they want in theArab states there will be no homeland." WSL prepares strategy for fall legislature By Sandra Treecestaff reporter The Washington Student Lobby won't take a vacation now that the legislative session has.ended. To prepare for its legislative campaign this fall. WSL will have a statewide cpnferencek.May 30to June7 l'in Seattle.'^WSL Executive Director Jim Sullivan said during a Visit to Western last week. : -•'••••• • Representatives from Western, the University of Washington.,Washington State University. Central Washington University and The Evergreen State College willattend the conference to discuss issues to be pursued when the state legislature resumes in thefall. Sullivan said he is concerned about the amount of power granted to the Higher EducationCommittee (HEQ Board by the legislature and that students need to be informed and prepared to voice their opinions. "Recommendations by the committee could mean far-reaching changes in highereducation." he said. "The'great difficulty is that many legislators see only statistics on paper and not the people behind those statistics." Students taking five or six years to complete college are viewedas goof-offs. Sullivan said, and the fact that they may be working their way through school isn't aconsideration. As a result, legislators could put a ceiling on the number of years a student is eligible for financial aid. "It's going to be a tight, tough biennium and the conference will give us a head start onHEC and an. opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas." Sullivan said. Although it's too early to puttogether a legislative package. Western's WSL representative Robert Chamblee said fiscal billssupported by Western had been delayed, but they would be at the forefront of discussion during thethree-day conference. "Tuition freeze, financial aid, merit pay and minority enrollment are the issueswe think students arc most concerned about." Chamblee said. Equalizing state funding for schoolswill be a debated issue at the conference. Sullivan said. "There is a difference between a researchinstitute such as the University of Washington and a strictly educational school." Sullivan said. "Butshould one get more funding than the other? It's a fine line to draw." Chamblee said he viewed the issuepossibly as being too divisive because schools from both sides are WSL members. Sullivan's visitfollowed the Student Task Force's decision to continue indefinitely Western's affiliation with WSL. InJanuary, the Associated Students Board of Directors considered withdrawing from the five-membercoalition after it was disclosed administrative disor-ganizationand poor accounting procedures had leftWSL's state board indebted to the Internal Revenue Service. "We're very solid now." Sullivan said."The IRS has been paid and our books are all in order." Already disappointed by the state board's lack of support for Western-initiated issues, the AS Board formed a task force to determine whether studentswould be better served if Western lobbied in Olympia independent of WSL. If the task force hadrecommended severing ties with WSL the issue would have been included on the student electionsballot in May. Sullivan replaced interim director Mike Johnson in February and has made a priority ofkeeping closer contact with WSL representatives from each school and the issues that concern them.re-examines HiSHllliliiii l i i | | i t ; iiy|B'0H;ge;tvT6.1 h}^$gK£ng§ |||fj;Hec^ Ifflitl^lliHHMi^^HlB^PBiiiSBB SBilHiiilttfiiliB^JilHSjl lll^BillflBiBiiHMliiBil SillBIIBHiBl^^BBB! iSRiiilllliHBIfiiiiilJiRIInfo Trak screens info for data seekers By Brenda Dow staff reporter • Western students are some of the first in the United States to try out the latest in computer technology for reference. The system,called InfoTrak. was brought to the Wilson Library reference department by the Information AccessCorporation. The corporation specializes in making information available to libraries. Fred Waterman,business librarian, said. Waterman first learned of the InfoTrak system a year ago at a library conventionin Seattle. "1 was very impressed with it." he said. Waterman demonstrated the system April 14 in thereference room. InfoTrak users type in a topic and seconds later a list of articles that have appeared onthe subject in the past three years a p p e a r on the computer screen. The list can be read on thescreen or printed out, giving a complete bibliography for future reference. ..-,' The InfoTrak databasecontains, references to articles from about 1.000 business, technical and general-interestpublications. Waterman said. InfoTrak is at Western for a three-month trial period. So far. W a t e r ma n said, stud e n t response has been quite positive. Both terminals always seem to be in use. he said. Karen Mincey. a student who has used InfoTrak. said. "It saves you time because you don't have to sitfor hours looking through journals." The system costs SI6.000 per year for the first five years andS8.500 per year thereafter, said Diane Parker, director of Wilson Librarv. ---------- Western Front - 1986 April 29 - Page 4 ---------- • • 4 WESTERN FRONT Opinion TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1986 Frontline Writing test helps gainquality skills Students learn many lessons in college. Most of us learn what our professors expect us tolearn, at least temporarily. We learn how to get along with people who come from various lifestyles andupbringings. Some students learn independence and responsibility while others learn how to avoidthem. One such responsibility students, with help from their professors, have learned to avoid is takingthe junior writing exam. And that's bad. The junior writing exam and writing intensive program weredesigned to enable students to function better in the "real world." The purpose is to bring students out ofthe narrow course they follow in their major and teach them a skill everyone needs. It may sound just like a GUR, but it's different. G U Rs are part of our liberal arts education. They increase our awareness ofissues and places outside of Western. They often don't, however, teach us how to communicate.Regardless of what field we enter, we all must be able to exchange ideas. Often those ideas must be inwritten form. If the person who receives the message can't understand it, communication has failed.That is what Western's writing program is designed to prevent. Western's standards were raised with theinception of the writing intensive program. The hope is the quality of Western's graduates also willincrease. All students should seek that quality. After all, how do you think the 'Great Communicator' gotstarted? $1,500 debt isn't a fantasy this time Fantasy and reality blend together for people on the edgeol cerebral destruction. And that's all right, until those who can handle the reality part have to beginflashing their American Express cards to pick up the bill. That's $ 1,500 worth of reality from the fantasyminded. Each year the Science Fiction and Fantasy Club, an Associated Students club, sponsors Viking Con. a science-fiction convention. This year Vikimi Con was the victim of poor budgeting by the club,which has resulted in outstanding bills totalling $ 1.500. The tab lor the excursion into the weekend pathof non-existence now must be paid by the AS Activities Council, which is funded by you and me.The"club received $5,600 worth of loans, which are supposed to be repaid from the convention income.The club invested its moncv into such realistic items as first-class air fare and hotel rooms for itsspeakers from California, $620 in television advertising and more than $400 in T-shirts that weren't sold. "We won't do that again," said Viking Con budget "expert" Arthur Owen, referring to the advertising. Ohreally? That's a thought. This is the same club that brought you the movie "Flesh Gordon" last quarter.That fundraising venture netted the club a negative balance of $ 120. But at least'they paid their own billsthat time. With the Activities Council paying for their mistakes, they were free to lose really big this time. The group probably won't be able to pay its debt by the May 1 deadline, or for that matter, by the end ofthe year when the Activities Council must balance its budget. But it should make every effort toreimburse the council (and ultimately you and me) as soon as possible. In the future the SFFC shouldmake sure it can pay its bills before venturing into the final frontier. •HnnHI Those dirty divorces Menclaim they've HADD it Husbands Against Dirty Divorces is the newest thing in groups. HADD's statedpurpose is to seek equality in divorce proceedings. "To guarantee that men receive the sameconsideration as their ex-wives in the courts." Joe Karl, founder and Seattle businessman, said.HADD claims divorce statutes are becoming increasingly unfair and unequal. "When it comes to thecourts, it's a case where they (women) unequivocally have more rights then men." Karl said. At arecent meeting the group outlined plans to change Washington state's divorce laws, which are genderneutral. Male or female roles are not specified when a marriage is disolved. So how can women havemore rights in a state where either the man or woman may file for the divorce, and specific desires onsupport, property and children are stated by the filing party, leaving the respondent 60 days to reply withcounter requests? Perhaps the group's real purpose is to change the divorce laws to read more favorably concerning the husband. ililBIll Hersman SHH111 Inequalities in divorce laws. Karl said, include abias toward women in property settlement. The need then is not to change the laws but to change theattitude of the judges applying those laws. The law does not discriminate as to who pays childsupport or spousal support. According to the Washington State Bar Association, laws provide for thedivision of property, but they do not require that the division be equal. Karl also claims visitationrights are problematic because of restraining orders. He said it takes months to fight these in court. Andafter the divorce. Karl claims, wives continually violate the visitation rights established, leaving thefather little recourse beyond more court proceedings. Karl, mavbe what you need is a new lawyer.Washington state divorce law provides either spouse with the option of obtaining temporary orders forchild custody, support or occupancy of the home. A proceeding may be initiated to resolve disputesbefore the hearing to decide the requests. The law provides both parents with an equal right to custody;neither automatically is given custody. If joint custody is not awarded, reasonable visitation rights usually are provided. If a spouse refuses to grant visitation rights, and it is part of the court order, that personmay be held in contempt, jailed or fined. Karl claims if a man is denied visitation rights and can't affordto pursue it in court his only option is to kidnap his kids. Washington state provides a law to cover thattoo Karl. and. kidnapping isn't legal. Divorce isn't a pleasant thing. The fact that many men find it a badexperience doesn't mean the need exists to change the laws. Perhaps HADD would best serve itspurpose by providing a support group for other men involved in divorce. Guest commentary I couldn'tbelieve my eyes Here's the scene. The quarter is finished, it's spring break and I'm sitting at homewatching all the beer-guzzling fools in Fort Lauderdale on MTV. As I sit, wishing I was with them, I hearthe sound of the mail truck. I meet the postman outside, engage in some pointless small talk aboutright-hand-drive vehicles, and wait nervously for that envelope from good ol' Western. No dice. Another no-show on my grades. A week of this went by until I came home one afternoon and was handed theenvelope by my mom. She looked at me expectantly, in much the same way the directors orproducers of movies look right before the winner is announced. I remind her "The Color Purple" didn'treceive a single award, and regardless of that I still think Steven Spielberg is a genius. I ripped open theenvelope and looked at the sickly yellow sheet before me. I was shocked. I asked Mom to sit down. She looked worried and asked me how I did. I handed her the sheet. She looked at and said, "I can't read athing." The carbon copy that Western sent me was illegible. •HlliilBllll ll^llllllll '^^^mmmSSS i i | | | | | i| i i | | | | | | #% L ^p:;i«I*«^:;:. gt;^^M^» %HBr y.^^^^ik:;,.. Mom murmered something about, "Youprobably did well" and left the room. I was left wondering if Steve's "Color Purple" actually was printedon one of those award cards but was printed so badly that, to save embarrassment, the reader of it wentwith the flow and said, "Out of Africa." His mom probably thought Steve did well, too. 1 was upset.Whether I did well or not isn't the point. After all the work and sweat that went into that quarter here, andafter all the times 1 got stuck conversing with our talkative "means well" postman during break. I shouldat least be able to expect that I could read a simple letter sent to me by an "institution of highereducation." I thought about what goes through the minds of the people who see this thing last beforethey send it. Do they know that it can't be made out without the aid of a professional decipherer? .OK,OK. so maybe there's a good reason for me receiving a poor copy. Perhaps the school doesn't haveenough money to send me a good copy. Maybe the school has a budget problem in the area of mailinginformation to students. Sure it does. I guess that's why housing and tuition both bill me 5.7 times morethan they should with tons of dark, readable letters all over the page, including the little note on thebottom telling me to disregard the letter if I've already paid. I know, those guys are in a differentdepartment. So let's work together! Let's round up a group, slap in a tape of "We are the World" and print some of these grades clearly. I can see it now. We could call it "Grade Aid." or "Rating Relief." I don'thave all the answers, but I do know that when I get good grades in the classroom they should be goodwhen they eventually turn up at my mailbox. Perhaps if the people who sit in those higher seats put alittle more thought into what they do, guys like Spielberg wouldn't have to stick to space fantasies forrecognition. ---------- Western Front - 1986 April 29 - Page 5 ---------- TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 5 Letters liiwiiMiiftiftiSiii^MB^fcl l|ll|i^j|^^^^lpl|llll||^i^ Poetbelieves nobody cares Western Front: And people came and people went and nothing was said andnothing was said And nothing was said of the bombs we lain nothing was said for the children slainnothing but nothing in the wake of expense nothing but nothing in the name of defense No one cries forlives anymore no one cries no one cries No one cries when a child dies If the child's not theirs whocares who cares Who cares for the leaders when time is no longer Who cares for the killings whenkilling mean stronger Stronger positions stronger capability Who cares Who cares that it's strongerstupidity The world keeps turning turning it turns and nobody learns and nobody learns And nobodylearns of other's concerns 'Cause we're all wrapped tight gotta fight! gotta fight!

Drue Robinson AS is wasting time and energy Western Front: Having just finished reading YvonneWard and Jeff Doyle's letters of April 15, I wondered what role the AS ought to play in campus life. Itseemed to me that .a student's organization ought to be primarily concerned with student issues.There is by no means a lack of problems to which such an organization might direct its energy. Such agroup might play an active part in directing the campus programs that serve a wide range of studentneeds and interests, such as: room and board, day care, public safety, athletics on all levels,entertainment, etc. These student representatives might also take an interest in the' direction that theadministration is taking the university. They might involve themselves with the current evaluation of thecurriculum and the processes of hiring, tenure review and promotion of faculty. Such a groupcould represent student interests in the procurement of facilities and equipment and lobby for increasedfunding for the library, the heart of any university. The AS could also sponsor lectures of political andacademic interest, and The Front could at least publicize those lectures sponsored by the variousdepartments. I wish to allay a number of objections to my position which I foresee occurring to somereaders. First, I am not defending The Front for its consistently sloppy journalism or its editorial board and their conservative agenda. Second, I am not advocating anything like the type of studentinvolvement encouraged by Reed Irving's Accuracy in Academia, nor am I denigrating concern for humanand civil rights. Student awareness of these issues, especially in today's political climate, is important,and students have as much right as anyone else to express their opinions. As important as theseissues are, they ought not, I think, become the single preoccupation of the AS but should be anintegral part of student concern. Last year's senseless, boring and interminable wrangle over the saleof Penthouse magazine in the campus bookstore is a prime example of student repre-sentitives wastingtheir time and energy. The AS might better spend its time helping the administration forge a coherentcurriculum and encouraging students, to develop well-informed opinions on current issues of academic.• as well as social importance.

The men's department has a lot more colors than inthe past, said Mike Rogers, a salesman at the Golden Rule in Bellingham. Genera, Heet, Union Bay andCM.A. are among the brand names that appear to be top sellers this spring. "The high school and college age guys are wearing a lot more shirts, ties, and pants with some kind of design on them. Sometimes even the girls are down here buying things for themselves, but you'd never catch a guy going into thegirl's department though," Rogers said. "It's taken a lot of getting used to, (men's new fashion), in thepast the majority of mens'clothes were the browns, whites, blues and maybe an occasional yellow.Yellow is really popular," Rogers said. Bob Holbrook, a Western business major, said he's seeing a lotof changes in the men's clothing department. "I've noticed there's more stripes and pastel colors thisSpring." Holbrook said. "More options are open and it's no longer feminine to wear pink." Holbrooksaid. "We're becoming more fashion conscious now, but there's still a long way to go. I think (men'sfashion) started to change in about the .'70s, or about the time polyester went out," he said. BRIANurA.s Bruce Smith sports the Miami-Vice look. Rogers said that the look this spring is assorted pastelcolors, the most popular being the yellows %. and mint greens. Colors are no longer limited to women,he said. Also not limited to just women is the need for good skin care. '*• Kris Pearson, a Cliniqueconsultant at Place Two in Bellingham, said "men are becoming much ^ | more fashion conscious and alot more men are coming up to the (Clinique) counter. "Ads have a lot to do with it. I've seen (the marketfor men's skin care products) go nothing but up." Pearson said. Clinique's skin-care system for men issimilar to 0, the women's line "The concept is the same but it's tailored for men," she said. . Mengenerally need products that are stronger compared to women's needs. "Clinique's computer system was devised by dermatologists to determine the strength and con- _ dition of the skin." Pearson said. "A lotof times ™ what you'll find men doing is using women's products." "Men have thicker skin whichproduces more collagen and that's why they age slower," said Lori Davison, an Estee Lauder countermanager at The Bon Marche in Bellingham. "Women have always % been taught to take care of theirskin," Davison said "and that's why the market for women's products is greater than men's." Barry Dunn, owner of La Parfumerie in Bellingham said many men aren't educated or aware of their basic skin care needs. Dunn also mentioned ^ that some of the men coming in buy women's products.

"We want to keep the healthy masculine look and thebronzer gives your face that healthy look," Holbrook said. 0"The market for men's skin-care products has gone as far as it can go," Dunn said. It's hard to sell to men, they don't seem as interested as women. A number of companies are unsure of the demand for men's skin-care products but believe there's a "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." So they keep on a large advertising budget to trv and convert men fromjust shaving, he Dunn said he has noticed an increase in sales of hair mousse and gel for men. Theproducts are advertised as grooming aids and packed in colors such as gray and black, which areconsidered to be more masculine than the pastel colors used for women's styling products. Holbrooksaid he had been a fragrance model and his experience with approaching men was that once they triedthe product he'd see them return and purchase the product. "It's not until they try it" Holbrook said. "It'sjust the wav we've been raised. ^"Men use these products so they feel good, and when we feel good welike to think we look good too," Hoibrook said. Although men have thicker skin and a slower agingprocess they use skin-care products, "Because it improves the texture and appearance of nMsculineskin." Pearson said. "It isn't necessarily for ourselves," Holbrook said, "the women like it too."

By Craig Daly staff'reporter The women's rugby team routed Oregon State University 30-0 last Saturday, but many of theplayers were disappointed with the team's performance. OSU never came closer than the 45-yard lineuntil late in the game and had no scoring attempts against a stingy Viking defense. Still, several of theWestern players said they should have played much better. "We hesitated too much." Western propLorrie Brilla said. "Our passes, our tackling, everything needs improvement." Western Coach JohnMcCarthy agreed with Brilla, but he said most of his team's problems are due to inexperience. He said the team is, though, the best group of athletes he has ever coached. Three of his players were on thevarsity soccer team and three played for Lynda Goodrich's final-eight. National Association ofIntercollegiate Athletes tournament basketball team. "Everyone on our team is returning next year andseven of those players are in their-first year." McCarthy said. "They have been well coached in othersports. All 1 have to do is tell them where to play and they do it. They're already much better than theywere last fall." Many of Western's lost scoring opportunities came in the first 10 minutes of the game.The Vikes blew four or five scores when they brought the ball within inches of the touch-in-goal line, butwere pushed back by OSU. Western finally scored on Nancy Martin's plunge into the corner of the endzone with 10 minutes remaining in the half. Cheryl Boxx and Brilla also added tries and Paula Frenchkicked two conversions to lead the Vikings to a 16-0 half-time lead. Western scored its remain-, ingpoints in the final 12 minutes when the game was already out of reach for OSU. Lisa Fisher and KellyBillingsley added tries, and French had a try and a conversion for Western. Despite neededimprovement in tackling and passing. McCarthy was pleased with his forwards' play. The Vikeforwards controlled their own and OSU's line-outs and scrums. "The score should have beenconsiderably more if the ball movement was better, but that's inexperience. You need to learn when topass." McCarthy said.

The women's team took only seven members, and bythe end of the meet, four qualified to compete in the NAIA national championship meet. Friday, at leastfor 20 minutes, it was all Western, as two members of Western's track team stepped into slots fornationals. Kristi Dunn and Kathy Miller met the national qualifying standards for the 400-meter hurdles and the 800-meter run, respectively. They raced within minutes of each other. The two joined HollieWatson and Janell Massey. who qualified earlier in the year. Those four represented Western at themeet. Dunn qualified for nationals with a 63.94-second electronic clocking, two seconds better than herprevious best, and Miller's 2:14.8 finish sliced three seconds off of her previous best. Miller's 800 alsowas the third fastest time in the school's history. "They appeared to be feeding off of each other,"Western Coach Tony Bartlett said of the four women. "It's nice to see those people have abreakthrough like that," Bartlett said. "When you get to that meet, your cream rises to the top. Youexpect your best people to perform well." Western's fourth competitor, Watson, captured second placein the 200 with a time of 26.24. In Friday's preliminary, she tied her school record with a 25.0 clocking. She also placed second in the 100 Saturday, with a time of 12.2. "There were a lot of good sprinters,"Bartlett said. "But nobody was running very fast." Western had a very impressive performance in the two-day event, Bartlett said. The four women competed against Division-I schools: the UW, WashingtonState University, Oregon State University, the University of Idaho, the Univer- SWIMMING CLUB Aformer community swim team became the Western Swimming Club Wednesday, when it was approvedby the Associated Students Activity Counsel.

"Massey and Miller both havenational experience and are not intimidated by Division I schools," he said. "Our nationals are eventougher than this meet." For the weekend meet Bartlett was most impressed with Miller's performance in the 800. Miller, a 400-meter runner, has made the transition to the 800 this year. "You've got to learnhow to run the 800," Bartlett said. "Once you start to relax, you start to run fast." Miller accomplishedthis feat in Friday's race. Other Western placers included Lola Johnston, fourth in the 400 with a time of60.96; Sherrie Haynes, sixth in the 400 in 61.44; the Viking 4x400 team of Massey, Miller, Haynes, and Johnston, fourth with a 4:05.04 clocking; and Meghan Neary, eighth in the 100 meter hurdles. TheShotwell Invitational Saturday at the University of Puget Sound gave other members of Western's team a chance to display their talents. Jessie MacMurchie was third in the 10,000-meter (43:14.4); KirstenRostedt was fourth in the 10,000 (47:15.5); Karla Hethe-rington was third in the javelin (107-2). TeresaVanderpool finished second in the discus (105-0) and third in the shot put (36-8 !/2); Chris Ohlsen wasthird in the discus (104-3); Meghan Neary was second in the 100 hurdles (15.7); and Michelle Refvikwas second in the 800 (2:22.0).

Predictable in the best of ways, it's got a great cast and many memorable moments.Set in New York City, the film begins with Hannah (Mia Farrow) serving Thanksgiving dinner for her two sisters, her parents, her husband, her children and umpteen other guests. Of course, the meal issplendid, and remarkably she prepared it with, the aid of only one black maid. The movie ends withexactly the same scene, two years later. A few things, however, have happened since then. Elliot(Michael Caine), Hannah's husband, has a passionate affair with Hannah's sister, Lee (BarbaraHershey). He leads her to believe his marriage to Hannah is faltering, so she leaves her intellectual,socially-misfit boyfriend, Frederick (Max von Sydow). Later, she leaves Elliot for yet anotherintellectual man. Hannah never knows about the affair. She's too busy. A suc- CONTRACEPTIVES TheRubber Tree • Condoms — Over 40 Varieties • Foams.

Though Hannah supports Holly financially and emotionally. Holly feels thepressure of not measuring up to her sister's success. Dianne Wiest's portrayal of Holly as a neurotic,chain-" smoking, cocaine-tooting sibling is a definite highlight of the film. Her character, one of the most well-rounded in the film, is at the same time funny and despicable. And though she winds up withHannah's ex-husband Mickey Sachs (Woody Allen), she comes out on top. The movie has a fewproblems with character depth. Relying on sterotypes, Allen portrays Hannah as your basic MotherEarth. She is the focus of the film, yet she has no real focus, nor do we ever get the feeling we knowher. Despite its Haws, "Hannah and Her. Sisters" is a must-see.

Her current exhibit at the Chrysalis Gallery, "In Retrospect," includes worksZimmerman did in the 1920's. That was before she gave up art to devote herself to her husband andfamily. Zimmerman graduated from high school during the Great Depression. It was a time when women were expected to stay home and raise a family. Few went to college and even fewer would haveattempted a career as an artist. "When I was young, we didn't have careers, we just had jobs. Whenyou got married . . . you were supposed to quit work and stay home," Zimmerman said. Zimmerman didjust that, and as her family grew larger, her spare time decreased. Art quickly became secondary toraising a family. Making posters and small projects for her children's schools became her only artisticoutlet. But Zimmerman isn't bitter about the choice society made for her. "I'm sure that if I had gone tocollege right after high school or even within the next ten years, my life would have been a whole lotdifferent," she said. "But there are a lot of things I've had in my life that I wouldn't give up, especially mykids. You can have it one way or the other.

Zimmerman will bereceiving a bachelor of fine arts degree in June. Her concentration is a combination of printmakingand oil painting. She prefers the former and can trace her love for the print to illustrations she saw as a child ina copy of Dante's "Inferno." The book included several prints by Dorer, a French artist. "I would sit thereand look at that book for hours. 1 was just fascinated with the way those prints were done," she said.Zimmerman's work includes a variety of subjects. She enjoys painting interesting people as well aslandscapes. Many of her works are scenes of Western's campus and the surrounding area, which shepaints from her apartment window. Gene Vike. chairman of Western's Art Department, refers toZimmerman as "a little unusual," because she chose to raise her family first. Nevertheless, hedescribes her as one of Western's star students. "She does outstanding work," he said. Examples of Zimmerman's work will be on display at the Chrysalis Gallery in Fairhaven College until May 9. It's herfirst solo show and consists of several oil paintings and prints done between 1928 and 1986.

PresidentHaggard Optimistic: W6ST6R + + WASHINGTON i Western Washington College, Bellingham,Washington Vol. XIX, No. 2 January 18, 1957 College Asks $8 Million Budget WUS Drive Plans Set InMotion Anyone for Opera/ Bartered Bride Tryouts Set AMATEUR OPERATIC OPERATORS wereurged this week to start limbering up their tonsils. Tryouts for the spring comic opera, Sme-tana's "TheBartered Bride," are less than two weeks off, according to Bernard Regier of the music faculty. "Anyone may try for one of the 11 parts,*' he said, "not just music majors." Time is 4 p.m. Jan. 29 and 31 inRoom 15, Music Building. ROMANTIC LEADS, a buffoon, a dancer, the manager of a troupe of strollingplayers and an Indian are among the parts available. A NEW ENGLISH VERSION of the Bohemianclassic will be used, Regier said. Interested singers are urged to check out a copy of the score from themusic library and study an aria or two. "WUS Includes You," was selected as the official slogan forWestern Wednesday night, as the WUS committee, meeting with regional director Gladys Lawther ofPortland, set the wheels of the campaign in motion. "I COULD HAVE HELD all the first aid supplies inmy hand," Mrs. Lawther said of a health center in India, as she told the. committee of her experiences in visiting that country for WUS. "I believe in WUS," she said, "and we're in this together." Under thechairmanship of Gail Tuininga, the faculty-student committee had already set its plans for publicity,education and the initial kickoff assembly scheduled for Friday, February 1, to begin a week ofconcentrated student effort" to obtain funds. Graphically illustrating the purpose of the WorldUniversity Service, Mrs. Lawther explained that it provides relief funds, school supplies, buildings andfood for students in less fortunate countries. "But," she added, "in all countries they are matching thefunds we give, dollar for dollar. We are truly helping them to help themselves." WESTERN CHAIRMANGAIL TUININGA looked ahead to the week of Feb. 1 optimistically. Stating that students raised over.$244 during a one-day drive in December to aid Hungarian refugees, she/ pointed out that only $212 hadbeen raised last year during one week. Carnival In Rec Hall Tonight Following t o n i g h t ' s game thecolorful WRA Carnival will swing into action. Offered in the Rec Hall is a variety of games, from the penny throw to basketball, with prizes for success. A concession booth, to be decorated in red and white,will sell refreshments. Carnival c h a i r m a n Bobbie Cole, Joan Richards and Norma Ashby feel theevent will be fun for all. "We hope everyone will enjoy the carnival. Everyone who has worked on it hasdone a great job and the carnival should be successful," agree the chairmen. Booths include Bingo, fishpond, a fortune teller, basketball, William Tell, dart throw, penny toss, card toss, baseball throw, ringtoss, bowling, shave-a-balloon. A sample of the prizes, donated by Bellingham business, has beenin the display case in Old Main this week. SETTING THEIR SIGHTS on a banner year for WUS atWestern, Gail Tuininga, WUS chairman, and Mrs. Gladys Lawther, regional director of WUS who told ofher India travels, look over campaign plans. Western is asking the Washington State Legislature toapprove a total budget of $8,007,272.12 for the 1957- 1959 term. With a predicted enrollment of 2518 by 1958 (4,000 by 1965) and the very necessity of all the appropriations asked, Dr. W. W. Haggard saidWednesday he felt optimistic about the legislature's approval of the budget, which includes a 20%increase in salaries and wages, $477,629.06 in operations, $226,870 in retirement benefits, and$4,199,644 in capital outlays. The 20% increase in salaries (which has been recommended by Governor Langlie in his budget submitted to the legislature as his last act of office) would raise Western facultysalaries to the level of Oregon colleges "but (they) would remain appreciably below the anticipated levels of the University of Washington, and public school personnel with comparable academicpreparation and professional experience." ON TOP OF THE CAPITAL outlays listed is a requested$2,216,930 for a science building, furnishings and equipment. The legislature approved the building in1955, but the Supreme Court ruled that the method of financing was illegal. "Occupancy of thescience building in the fall of 1959 would permit conversion of present science space to badly neededgeneral purpose classrooms," according to the College. A small item on the capital outlays list, butessential to the construction of the Student Union building (which was stepped up by a favorable legalruling Tuesday) is $72,500 for the purchase of four properties on the west side of High street. Alsolisted as essential by the College were: 0 Conversion of the science annex of the Main Building togeneral purpose classrooms—$98,500. 9 COMPLETION OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION buildingand equipment—the number of square feet of gym floor per student is now 4.9, while the average forteachers' colleges throughout the nation is 19 —$975,000. 0 Health center building, equipment,furnishings, landscaping to replace present infirmary—$237,160. * Addition to heating plant and addition of boiler for the anticipat- (Continued on Page 2) PLANNING AHEAD to March 1 are members of theJunior Prom committee, co-chairmanned by Tom Romerdahl and Kittie Stole, crystallizing ideas for thedance.

The temperature was asoothing 24 degrees. (Photo courtesy of the Anacortes "American".) Western's Moonlight Gambler:Street-Sleeper Returns BY DAVE AMOS WESTERN'S OWN MOONLIGHT GAMBLER (Trevor Barrett)paid off one of his most humiliating debts by sleeping in the streets of Anacortes last Saturday night.Barrett's sleep, the result of a bet on a Bellingham-Anacortes high school basketball game in whichBellingham lost, was made even more humiliating by the fact that Bellingham lost again to Anacortes onthe night of his big sleep. VOWING THAT HET) NEVER BET on a game again, Barret began an "ordeal" which turned out not to be such a trying experience after-all. At the half-time of the Ana-cortes-Bellingham game he made an appearance clad in bright plaid pajamas. That same night he was re-fered to as "the DJ in PJ's" arid as "Trapper Trev" by his fellow disc jockeys on the Viking Turntableprogram on KPUG. Besides this bit of fun that was played on him, he spent the evening getting moregifts than sleep. After the game Barrett camped out on 13th and Commercial in Anacortes, and thefun began. A tent, an air mattress and various other things were contributed by several businessconcerns to make the evening a little easier for Western's wayward gambler. For the rest of theevening Barret had a "hard time" of it. He was asked to do such hard chores as posing for numerousphotographs, including one where he posed with a Montgomery Fuel and t Frozen Food LockersPhone 1555 BELLINGHAM RADIO Home, Car, T-V SALES AND SERVICE 111 Grand Phone 1505couple of beautiful female Ana-cortians, and eating a hamburger ihat he described as being 12 inchesacross and at least 6 inches high. A large crowd formed around Barrett's camping spot and seemedteen joy all the goings on. The Anacortes high school Choral group arrived on the scene andBarret showed his dubious musical skill by leading the group in several songs. Buzz Lawrence, aformer Western student, (with whom the bet was made) and disc jockey for radio KGAT in Anacortes,tried to start several poker games which never seemed to pan out. At 4:30 in the morning a nearbyrestaurant served Barret a good sized breakfast which consisted of a pot of hot coffee, four fried eggs,four pieces of ham, five hot-cakes, toast and hashed browned potatoes. A little l a t e r after 5 a. m. hedecided to get some sleep. At 7:30 Barrett packed up his gear, his long night ended, and his debt paidin full.

If current preparations are sanctioned by the state legislature and the Federal Housing arid Home Finance Agency the building is expected to be completed by the following fall. Dr. W. W.Haggard and Sam Buchanan will travel to Seattle Monday, Jan. 21, to consult over the preliminaryapplication for the loan and file the final one. This action was permitted after Seattle Attorney RichardTho-rgimson completed a thorough examination as to whether the intended loan would be used foractual construction or for improvements. In a letter received by Dr. Haggard earlier this week theThorgim-son, Preston and Horowitz firm said, "From such examination it is our opinion that the paymentof $4.50 per student per quarter made into such Fund as authorized by the students themselves, theirBoard of Control, and the Board of Trustees of the College, may only be used for the purpose ofcontributing to the cost of acquiring land as a site for a Student union building .and constructing sucha building thereon." EVIDENCE TO SUBSTANTIATE this opinion was primarily based on SUBcommittee meetings minutes and newspaper clippings dating back to 1951. It is hoped that theapplication for the loan and the state appropriations for purchase of the site can be completed byMarch. After these two steps have been completed the actual purchase of the property and theremoval of houses on it can be carried out. Then final plans can be drawn up and endorsed and the callfor bids will precede construction. However, the future of the SUB hinges on the acceptance inWashington, D. C, of the loan and the state legislature's appropriation of $72,500 for the purchase ofthe land. If these two steps can be carried out the Student Union Building should be completed In timefor the sophomore class to use the building.

Adams, 6'5" and twice All-Conference center, dropped in 34 points. Martin, described by Coach Jack Hubbard as "the mostunderated and outstanding player in the league last year," tallied 26. "The boys looked better againstWhitworth than they have all season. We could have beaten anyone usually with our 47% shootingaverage but they had a good night too," Hubbard revealed. Western lost their fourth game of theseason to St. Martin's Tuesday, 63-62, on a last second basket by Jack Day, Ranger center, atLacey. IT WAS WESTERN'S seemingly eternal problem of lack of height that once again plagued theViking backboardmen as the Pirates won honors in that vital rebounding department 53-36. The Vikswill have back virtually the same squad next year and Hubbard promises that, "we will have the big manthat we need." Where and how we will get this "giant" was not revealed. WWCE was toppled 73-53 byEastern Washington Friday at "Savageville." Against Eastern the Viks' passing was off and they hadconsiderable trouble on the "boards." Bruce Randall and Bob Petrosik shared scoring honors with 12points each. WESTERN PLAYS a two-game set with the University of British Columbia, a home contest here tonight and at Vancouver tomorrow. The Viks also tackle Seattle Pacific on the road nextTuesday in a non-conference battle.

By JOHN BETROZOFF n At this point last winter Western basketball took a quick upward spurt.The Vikings took two out of three from UBC, clumped touted Eastern and Whitworth in two tremendousball games. We get a crack at UBC tonight and tomorrow night. Then starting with PLC next Friday, the Vikings have five straight home games including Central, CPS, Whitworth, and Eastern. CoachHubbard feels that his charges can beat both the. teams the squad lost to last weekend. Jack gave the word to the varsity this week, noting a more-than-usual slacking off by some of the members. He toldthem to either shape up or hang it up. Tonight should give Western its first conference win. You neverknow about UBC, but if lt; Betrozoff the team hustles they should take it by ten points. And as for those five straight home games, I would say the Viks will take four of them. MAJOR RULE CHANGES ANDWHY A little late to talk about the rule changes for this year but you know the old saying (yoti know it soI won't mention it). Besides, maybe you don't know about them and we are in for a lot of basketball herethe next few weeks. ONE CHANGE is giving the defensive team both number one positions on a freethrow. That means the team that does not have the ball gets both sides nearest the basket during a foulshot. Effects of this have been big so far. It has lessened the advantage of the taller teams, you see veryfewer tip-ins off free throws now. It practically puts the ball in the defensive hands. ANOTHER ONE is theout-of-bounds rule. At no time can the ball be taken out-of-bounds under the basket between the 12-footfree throw lane. When a team has the ball out under its own basket, the ref moves it to one side or theother. It has cut down on the after-basket fast breaks since now the scoring team has a little more timeto get back on defense while the ball is being moved outside the foul lane. Skill, defensive^and offensive,is what the rules are after. The 12-foot lane, two free throw positions for the defense, and the out-of-bounds rule all seek to bring back the defense in basketball. To keep it a game of skill as it is intended.Now all we need is the pro rule that a team must shoot within 24 seconds after getting the ball or loseit.

FOR YEARS, DECADES ANDEVEN CENTURIES, CRITICS OF EDUCATION have brought to bear the foil weight of their chargeswithout attempting to correct the situations they bitterly swear exist. Today, however, someone intends to do more than publish periodicals and books on Why Johnny Can't Do This Or That. Someoneseems to feel that perhaps poor little Johnny just might stumble through our educational system anddecide that he would like a taste of education on the advanced level. Arkansas Democratic Senator J. W. Fulbright will introduce two bills in Congress which are hoped will serve as an extra incentive foradvanced training. THE FIRST BILL WOULD ALLOW AN ADDITIONAL INCOME TAX EXEMPTION for ataxpayer or a spouse, or a dependent child under twenty-three years, of age, who is a full-time studentat an educational institution above the secondary level. The second bill would allow a taxpayer, who is astudent in an institution of higher learning to DEDUCT EXPENSES FOR BOOKS, TUITION, FEES, ANDOTHER SUPPLIES NECESSARY TO THE COURSES OF INSTRUCTION in which he is enrolled. Thisbill is primarily designed to assist those students who work their own way through college, and it wouldapply both to full-time and part-time students, whether self-supporting or supported by outside sources.Senator Fulbright, in a news release on January 9, said, "Public and private educational institutions face a precarious future. They are essential to the preservation of our way of life. These bills, if enacted, wouldgive them some assistance and enable them to accept additional students who can pay their own way.Thus, the bills would have further beneficial effect upon the finances of our fine educational institutions."FULBRIGHT ALSO EXPECTS THIS LEGISLATION TO AID in drawing more students in the technicalfields into our colleges and universities and, thereby, help to offset claims that Russia is rapidlyovershadowing the United States in this field. At any rate, this is the type of legislation that parents andstudents throughout the US can acknowledge as a direct benefit to every income bracket, although it willundoubtedly assist the moderate wage-earning class the most—BUT THEN THEY ARE NOT LAWSYET. STILL THEIR PROGRESS IN CONGRESS IS WORTH FOLLOWING. Ronn Beams. loungeWrack' of Civilization Nearly every year we hear of archaeologists digging up vast ruins, coming acrosscave dwellings and weird cave paintings. But right here on the Western campus could be found one of the most remarkable archeological finds of the century. CONSIDER THE EARLY FERTILITY RITES,accompanied by primitive rituals and savage rhythms; the fires man had to build to protect himself fromthe wild beasts; the weird, but beautiful paintings he labored to scratch into cave walls; the debris heaped up in his dark, dank caves. It was a hard, dirty, savage life. (Mostly dirty). Then consider the finds madein Western's own Lounge— the savage rhythms replaced with soothing sounds of mechanicalmachine called JUKE BOX; the fires and debris, replaced by modern king-size cigarette butts ecstaticallystrewed in I esthetic patterns on the IFIoor^and the cave paintings replaced by^iht^ire'cfuaHy-iriipiredetchings and pencilled abstracts on '" shiny, new tables. " Ah civilization—what wonders it has done forman!

A Little Ivy Conld GoA Long Way WESTERN IS GROWING, FASTERTHAN THE IVY that shoots up the walls of Old Main,faster than the cracks and holes that appear in High street, and even faster than the campus parkingplaces can fill up during morning classes. According to reliable figures it is the fastest growing college inthe state ot Washington, having surpassed its pre-Korean War peak by a striking 33%, while its closest competitor has passed its pre-war peak by only 9%. Most have not even reached their post-war peaks.• , MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE PHYSICAL PLANT, things have just not kept pace with theregistration lines; they haven't even caught up with those of three years past. This is one of the fewcolleges in the state that doesn't have its own athletic field -instead it has to swim through the mud andslime of a "half-drained swamp called Battersby. It's about the only college that doesn't have a StudentUnion Building. It has a top-flight science department, but no building in which to put it. Its students arebeginning to feel the force of being squeezed into houses full to capacity and food, facilities that producemiracles by the minute. When one finds a residence off campus he must fight his way to classes up afootpath that was covered with patches of cement, and now nearly accommodates two passing cars. urnAnd yet they continue to come, with no letdown in sight. By 1965, the College will have d o u b l e t spresent enrollment, occupying a plant not half adequate if something isn't done. V - f. .-^...-•..i*. i AijTHIS IS THE f LIGHT OF WESTERN AS THE 1957 LEGISLATURE CONVENES. In this legislature andthe people it represents lies the salvation of a school being crucified on a cross of population. . , Ourpeople demand that their children be taught. All over the nation they send their children off to be educated, but they often forget to provide them with tram fare on the trip to the diploma. As. the public pocketbookbecomes sealed, so does the fate of the schools. Our bargain-hunting society should have learned by now that there is no bargaining with education. AS THE PUBLIC SENDS ITS CHILDREN OFF*to publicinstitutions, it had better make sure there's going to be room at the inn when they arrive. Western needsthe buildings it has requested. If the legislature doesn/T send along some money, it had better ship out some strong ivy—we'll need something to hold the seams together. BOO Vi llnnnir: Students No Money; -But Solutions Arriving BY DAVE VAN BRONKHORST New faces are never news on the Board ofControl. But now and then a hew member appears— or reappears— and the entire atmospherearound the Board table makes a subtle shift. The most noticeable trend in the past year has come withthe return of Dr. Keith Murray as faculty representative. DR. MURRAY WOULD SEEM TO BELONGTO the "History Is One Long String of Humorous Anecdotes" school, and his whimsical delivery has wellbeen noted around this campus as making History seem . . . well, sort of . . . interesting—much as wemight hate to admit it. Dr. Murray's sense of humor, as well as his administrative acumen, will bewelcome on the Board, where too often in the past the humor has been dependent upon sarcasticcriticism and cynicism. IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE IT'S TIME for the WUS drive to get under way.And this year every effort is being extended to make this the most successful drive of all. Not that weintend to break any records, but we would like to raise this school's contributions to the level whichmight be expected of a school of this size. Last year's drive netted something like fourteen or seventeencents per person. Big Deal! I know, I know.

So am I, so are we all. But, when you come right down to it,none of is half as poor as we think we are! And here are some of the things to think about when the drive begins and you are asked to help provide matching funds for the improvement of overseas universitiesand colleges. The books lost' from our library in one year would DOUBLE the size of libraries in someIndian colleges. Some universities operate health c e n t e r s , with only enough first-aid supplies to fillthe palms of your hands. Thousands of students in overcrowded countries live in the streets, sleepingin railroad stations; or in tiny, stark cubicles. We are rich, because we can go down to the co-op andbuy a book. Because we can sit in the lounge and talk about zvhether or not we are going to our twoo'clock class. Or because we can tal.k about the programs for the Junior Prom, or whether zoe shouldbuild a new Athletic Field, or not. THAT IS NOT POVERTY; not by a long shot it isn't. It makes mewonder very much how many of us would be getting this higher education, under those more rigorousconditions. Carol need not inform me or the members of the Collegian that she doesn't have a vote atBoard meetings, but she must remember that she does have a vote in/ gt;the lt; election df Board;members.
