IS W8S m^0^^^fi^^$M^?$^^^MMf^^MM^^^^^^M Police hold surplus of recovered Unclaimed bikes will be donated tolocal non-profit organizations By Ina Smith staff reporter Mountain bikes and 10-speeds are reportedstolen almost everyday at Western. It is such a common problem that many students assume thesituation is hopeless. For a change, there is actually some good news for bike owners. Campus policerecovered 10 bikes during the past few months, and the bikes are just waiting to be claimed. "I'd surelike to get them back to their owners," Lt. Chuck Page of the campus police said. Page said these bikes were found abandoned in various places on campus. The bikes . were just dumped after someonewent joyriding. Most of the bikes are still in prime condition. It has been difficult for campus police totrack down the owners because police reports were never filed, Page said. Page said some studentsassume filing a report is a waste of time, and this may be why there is a surplus of recovered bikes.Other bike owners said they would report a bike theft. "I would go to campus police if my bike werestolen," senior Dennis Thompson said. Another problem is most students neglect to register their bikewith police before a theft occurs, Page said. Serial numbers make the search much easier for police. "I'd say that about 50 percent of people don't even know the serial number OJI their bike," Page said. "Itpays to register your bike." "I know the serial number on my bike, but it isn't registered," freshmanCharity Curley said. Curley said she took her bike home late last quarter. When it was here she kept it in her dorm room because she didn't think the bike rack outside Higginson was secure enough. "I didn'twant my seat or tires to be stolen," Curley said. Page said if you register with campus police they placeyour serial number on file and pass the information to the Bellingham police department. "You don'tthink that you'll be a victim of a theft until you become a victim," Page said. It is evident many studentssubscribe to this philosophy. "I haven't really had a problem, there are times when I don't even lock mybike,"Thomp-son said. Photo by Tyler Anderson The campus police have 10 recovered bikes that can be claimed by owners, given serial number, and/or detailed description. Police site lack of registration aproblem in returning bikes to the proper owners. If your bike was stolen recently, the campus police could have it. In order to claim your bike contact Chuck Page between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays at 676-3555. Page said he needs the serial number of the bike, or at least a detailed description to release it tothe owner. Campus police said they will donate any unclaimed bicycles to a local non-profitorganization.

Around the Nation/ World Shamir government avoids no-confidence vote(JERUSALEM)—Right-wing coalition parties have helped stave off a no confidence motion againstIsraeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's minority government. Israeli lawmakers voted 55 -to-49 Mondayin support of the ruling coalition. There were five abstentions and eleven lawmakers were absent. Themotion had been brought on by disputes over Israel's participation in Mideast peace talks. The votedoesn't alter much. Shamir has already agreed to call early elections. And he has the assured support of just less than half the 120 member Parliament. Europe prepares for common currency(LONDON)—Germans confuse it with a cow, no one can agree on how to say it, and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl doesn't even want it in his pocket. It's the future common currency of the 12-nationEuropean Community. It's spelled e-c-u, for European Currency Unit. It's pronounced a variety ofways including eh-kyoo, eh-koo, or ay-koo. Cqrrti6r£ 24 Front about the Lummi Casino :hiiiid;:Biffi^^;|ieadlj^::^ located on the Lummi reservation. JffieFr^ The idea is to replace member states' currencieswith ecu's by 1999. It's already used in bookkeeping and its value is calculated based on the nationalcurrencies used by member nations. Not everyone is upset about the planned change. The French, forexample, are tickled because ecu was the name of a French medieval coin. Nissan may restrict sales in U.S. (TOKYO)—Thepresidentof Japan's second-biggest car maker says his company wants to avoidwhat he calls an"overpresence" in the U.S. market. That's seen as a sign that Nissan may be willing torestrict sales in the United States. Yutaka Kume says any "overpresence" of Japanese cars in theAmerican market should be reduced, but he says there's no "clear-cut yardstick" for deciding anappropriate level. The trade imbalance in cars and car parts has been a source of friction between thetwo countries. Japanese automakers have more than a 30 percent share of the American market. Arespected business journal, meanwhile, reports that the government is pushing Japan's largestautomaker, Toyota, to cut its exports. Both the company and the government deny that. Macy'sdeclares bankruptcy (NEW YORK)—Stacks of bills arid a disappointing Christmas shopping seasonhave sent Macy's to bankruptcy court. The 134-year-old retailer— one of the most famous in theworld—has filed for protection from its creditors. A Macy spokesman has confirmed the chaptereleven filing. Macy's has been struggling for two years to make ends meet. One of its biggestburdens—$3.5 billion in loans from a 1986 leveraged buyout by management. Today's action will allowthe retailer to stay in business and reorganize its finances without being attacked by creditors. ManyMacy's vendors still haven't been paid for the merchandis they shipped to the stores for Christmas. Butsome suppliers say their eager to send new merchandise to the stores. Chapter eleven will guaranteevendors are paid for future shipments. Around the State Administration willing to accept loggingcutbacks (AP)~ A key congressman says the Bush administration is slowly accepting that wholesalelogging cutbacks are necessary in the Northwest. Congressman Bruce Vento of Minnesota ischairman of the Interior subcommittee on national parks and public lands. He says the environmentalimpact statement issued by the Forest Service on Friday represents a shift in the policy formanaging forests, The plan for managing 17 national forests in the Northwest would reduce harvests to about two billion board feet a year. That's about half the average rate in the 1980's. The agency says the logging reductions are necessary to save habitat for the spotted owl. Senate considers law todiscourage students from carrying weapons (AP)- Police would have an easier time arresting studentswho carry wepons under a bill considered yesterday by a state Senate panel.

John Miles Serving as dean for the last sevenyears, Miles is resigning to complete research for a book he will be writing on the history of the NationalParks and Conservation Association. After taking a year off to complete the project, he will resume as afaculty member at Huxley College. The association, which contacted Miles to write a book on its history, will celebrate its 75 th anniversary in 1994. Miles, who hopes to have the book completed by theanniversary year, said there will be a number of themes explored in the story of the organization. Onetheme will focus on how national park lands have been continuously threatened since they were created. "One category of threat, for instance, was the proposal of additional units to the National ParkSystem, which were really not appropriate in terms of the criteria for naturalness and beauty," Milessaid. "In the early days of the association, members worked with the National Park Service to define exactly what constituted an appropriate national park," he continued. "This idea has been expandingthrough the whole 75 year period." At Huxley college, Miles has taught classes on the subject of hisresearch, conservation history. He also teaches environmental education classes and serves as anadvisor for' these students. One of the first members of the Huxley faculty, Miles has made majorcontributions to establish an environmental education program. Since Miles has been dean, thecollege has developed cooperative programs with the departments of political science, economics, andjournalism. Discussions are now under way with the sociology and educational curriculums. Thegraduate program has also increased from three to 40 students. "It's been my goal in this job to try to build bridges to other units of the university and to develop these programs. But I don't take credit forany of these things by myself. I've helped the faculty pursue their own ideas," Miles said. Thedevelopment of these programs has helped give Huxley College a good reputation around the nation. Faculty members from the University of Northern Iowa and University of Nevada at Las Vegas havecome to examine the program at Huxley in the past year. "We've been around for 20years and achieveda fair degree of success," Miles said. "Because we've been one of the long standing environmentalstudies programs in the field, we've been looked at by other schools as a model." . Research throughHuxley College has also made a lot of progress during Miles' seven years as dean. New facultymembers Wayne Landis, Jack Hardy and Robin Matthews have increased the level and amount ofscientific research conducted. Miles said it is the graduate students who have really helped raise thelevel of research at Huxley because they are all required to do field work. •:;;:g:::::;AW::i:thfopgh'vRenee Martens said she was unable due to the cataracts problem she has sragi©edim:;he^^§§||]§as|5^ |dis^]^§s^ lege."Martens said she wants to work § w i ^ !toi;hfel£:them^t3en£jef;|:;;:||||f^ |§§§|j$ii$^ wM^y^W^i^^^^^y^f^M yc^sebfhCT |3fid:j;her^ ; xyQlunt^recl timeatWh^cc^Co^ty! idfcli^ Ijljeir-Q^; §|§§§25om^^ ;;:oy^$cftjk:;^mseiyes bebaiise-^y'r^ lathing;;tiakes more e^tt 9^)^ iiyouisj^ ?^?|cii^:S;|iTOe month- yacatiion ;and abilities : Martens- said she hopesthe ;^ogpitiori\yestern receives from her yVirihing Mainstream's award last year, will let more disabledstudents at Westein be^me agt;yare : pf it.

"As dean he hasextended Huxley around the United States, where it is recognized as a quality program in environmentalscience, graduating reputable research scientists," Schwartz said. As an environmental educator andspokesman, Miles has many responsibilities other than Huxley College. Miles chairs the board of theNorth Cascades Institute, an organization dedicated to wilderness and environmental education. Hewas appointed by Gov. Booth Gardner to the Washington Environmental 2010 Advisory Committeeand the Washington Forest Practices Board. He is also a member of the National Parks andConservation Association and is an Executive Editor of "The Journal of Environmental Education." "I 'mvery fortunate to be involved in the work I do, as a faculty member and an administrator," Miles said. "Ithink what we're trying to do at Huxley is really important. I really think that education for the next century is going to have to involve an element of environmental education." Sheryl Morgenstern, anenvironmental education major, speaks highly of Miles. "He's a great leader who is doing his best tomake a difference in the world. He's been doing all these projects because he really cares and wants tobe involved. Without him, Huxley's environmental education program wouldn't be nearly as enrichedeither. " Lynn Robbins, a Huxley faculty member, said Miles has done a lot at Huxley to extend theinstitution off campus. "It's hard to measure his influence at Huxley College," he said. "More agencies and corporations have gotten to know Huxley." A search committee has been formed to find a new dean for Huxley College. The committee is chaired by Ken Hoover of the political science department andincludes students and faculty from Huxley College. ; Mo.i^at-Saturday 7 J.n. to i p.m. Sunday I i.m. to i pjn. wwu senior industrial design exhibition of faucets and mini-desks old main registration centerJanuary 27-31 9am-4pm ---------- Western Front - 1992 January 28 - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Western Front NEWS January 28,1 "^M Western site for Regional Archives development By RoyleJohnson staff reporter Construction of the new Washington State Regional Archives facility atWestern has moved into high gear. The building, located at the corner of Bill MacDonald Parkway and25th Street—across from Buchanan Towers, will house records and documents for the Regional State Archives serving Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, Island, San Juan, Jefferson and Clallam counties. The$3.4 million structure is designed for the preservation and use of government and private historicalrecords. It will also house Western's archives — which contain student and administrative records, theCenter for Pacific Northwest Studies and the University Records Center and Archives. The structurewill triple the space now used by these programs. Students, attorneys, genealogists, historians, artists,writers, legislators and university faculty will all use the building which will hold up to 40,000 cubic feet of materials. Services provided will include records repair, photographic services, computerized accessto collections, academic training and community programs. Regional archivist Jim Moore said in apress release that the building will house "a unique mix of complimentary programs to serve a diversegroup of researchers." Director of the Archives and Records Management Program James Rhoads saidhe considers the new building a positive addition to West-em. "It will be a fine additional resource forthe graduate students," Rhoads said. James Scott, director of the Center for Pacific NorthwestStudies, said the building will open next November, three months behind schedule. Scott said therehave been fewer than anticipated preliminary construction problems, but does acknowledge that someproblems have developed. The Shape of Things to Come, an informational handout detailingconstruction problems, describes how unavoidable impacts to parking, bus service, and vehicular andpedestrian traffic are being minimized. According to the publication, which is widely available acrosscampus, on-street parking along 25th Street will be eliminated and traffic will be significantly impactedby street improvements. Pedestrians will encounter heavy congestion from contractor equipmentand the bus stop on 25th Street and Bill MacDonald Parkway may be relocated. ..

No longer is the Alumni Office located at Old Main 345. The office has moved intoanewly renovated house at 709 High St. But in the fall of 1990, the house wasn't intended to become the home-base for alumni. The house was purchased by the International Pacific University organization.Renovation had begun in the winter of 1991 for I.P.C., but the organization elected to move its basefurther south - to the warmer climate of California - said Chris Goldsmith, Alumni Office executive director. Jim Korski at space administration mentioned the possibility of opening an Alumni Office on Highstreet to Goldsmith. Albert Froderberg, vicepresident for external affairs and Korski then sold the idea toRoland De Lorme, provost. Pete Harris from the Physical Plant said the house and renovation cost "ashade under $120,000." Harris said it was a sizable amount, but the house had to be connected toWestern's telecommunications system (data-base and telephones), which crews had to run wiresunderground. "We had to convert from a house, wherepeople lived, into aoffice where people work,"Harris said. The house needed to pass fire codes, and a ramp was added for the physically disabled,Harris said. Goldsmith said the goal of the Alumni Office is "to reunite as many alumni and formerstudents with the university... just make contact with them, that's why we do alumni events." Mostalumni live in the Seattle area, but there are "regional coordinator's" for alumni in Washington, D.C.,North Carolina, Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Juno, Alaska and Australia. Recent alumniactivities included renting the Seattle Aquarium and a harbor tour boat in Elliott Bay. Both events drewmore than 300 people. Goldsmith said alumni seem to have more-ties to their major, rather than theuniversity. He said their target this year is to have 5,000 dues paying members. President KennethMortimer had suggested alife-timemembershipplan for alumni that costs $500 for a single, $650 for acouple. Goldsmith said there are 175 lifetime members. Currently, it costs $25 for a single yearlymembership, and $40 for a couple. The Alumni Office has been inolved in: homecoming events, ascholarship fund, setting up annual gatherings by major, a finals week care package and birthday cakeprogram, and the publication of the quarterly newsletter, "Resume." Goldsmith said the 1991Homecoming, was "resurrected from the dead" for the first time since 1969. The Alumni Officeprovides six parking spaces to alumni in the alley behind the house. The spaces require a permit issuedby parking services. Are YOU interested in becoming a Lifestyle Advisor? Do you care about people?Oo you care about health?

You carry with you all my hope. But, my child, for you also do I mourn. There are people in the world that will assume thatyou're not different. They will assume you're like your parents. They will think you act just like your bestfriend. They will assume that you are like every other person of your ethnic group that they have ever met. They will treaty ou differently because of a series of assumptions that they developed long before theymet you, long before you were born. There are many kinds of discrimination. Some ways in which itoccurs are intentional and others are not. Racial discrimination that is intentional is easy to identify.Some purposeful and sometimes malicious ways it occurs are in physical threats or intimidation andverbal harassment, or jokes that slander a person or a culture. Other forms of racial or ethnicdiscrimination are more subtle, and some occur in the classroom. "The classroom needs to reflect thecultural diversity of the students that are in there," said David Muga, Ethnic Student Center coordinatorand program advisor. There are several kinds of discrimination in the classroom. The first of these isin the curriculum and the material to be studied, Muga said. Muga said a student of color notices veryquickly in most classes that g there is very little material that places any emphasis on things that are ofinterest to them. For example, he said, in the average literature class there are very few or no books thatdeal with authors in ethnic minorities and usually deal with issues f(^fftVH^^^ Anglo-saxon, Protestantview which ^ Please see Discrimination, page 7. '"m.^* ---------- Western Front - 1992 January 28 - Page 7 ---------- January 28,1992 FEATURES The Western Front 7 Discrimination, cont. from page 6 is only one amongmany cultural outlooks. Sociology professor Rick Bulcroft said that in his syllabus he had a portion for diversity. He said that he encourages all students, especially minorities and older students, to cometo his office with any problems or questions they might have, and he said he tries to be flexible.Michele George is a Native American student and a senior major- . ing in a self-designed Liberal Studies program called Ethnic Social and Political Issues. She described a literature class she hadexperienced discrimination in. The instructor indicated the literature she was reading was supposedto be a great piece by a great author, and she found it to be very racist. She said the instructor did notexplain the views during the time period and the way minorities were viewed then as he should have.George said she thought this lack of explanation enforced similarly prejudiced thought in today'ssociety. She said it was very hard for her to listen, discuss, and read literature about people likeherself and other people of color presented in a very one-sided, racist view. David Curley, a liberalstudies professor, said that he could not conceive of teaching his classes without discussing theenvironment in which the racism occurred. He said that in his classes explaining the circumstances is crucial. Muga said for Western to try to force instructors to improve the curriculum and add a moreculturally diverse outlook would be a sticky problem. It would infringe upon each teacher's academicfreedom to choose the content and design the nature of the course. He said that it would ruin the wholecontext for democratic dialogue. "There's a lot of instructors who are joining organizations that standup for academic freedom and freedom for what they can say in classes, and I think those are theprofessors that are really racist at heart and they mightnoteven admitit/'George said. "They feel that their standards and their way of thinking is ultimate and the only thing of value is Western thought. And it'sthose people that really need to be educated." George said these instructors need to realize that thereare other ways of thinking and looking at things. Bulcroft said he didn't know the people joining thesegroup and would be unable to say whether they were racist or not. "I think the approach that one has touse is to constantly keep pressure on teachers so they will become sensitized to the fact that thesemeans are out there, and we have to use our powers of persuasion," Muga said. George said she thinksWestern should force change, because it causes harm to ethnic diversity when it doesn't. H.C. Yi, anAsian student on campus in her sophomore year, said that she has not experienced any of what shewould consider racism toward herself while she has been on campus. She said that the only overtlyracist incident that she has heard about since she has been on campus was when there were somepeople hand- . ing out minority hate brochures in Red Square last quarter. Yi also said that she wouldlike more cultural studies required within the general university requirements. "I wish that there weremore classes offered that really reach more diverse issues, more of the Asian cul - tural studies, blackhistory studies," Yi said. "These courses, I think, would bring a lot of sensitivity to people that areignorant towards other cultures." Discrimination occurs in trying to use the student of color as arepresentative for their people, rather than a personal or professional view, or asking a student toexplain how their portion of the population would feel about a situation or event. Bulcroft said he had notasked a student of color to act as a representative for their population, but he had at times asked aminority student about their personal experiences in an attempt to achieve a more rounded view of anissue. George said she was singled out as a representative for her people in just about every class thatshe has taken. "It's like the instructor figures that they're just going to breeze right over the minoritysection or the Indian section unless they have a student in the class then they turn it all over tothem," George said. "They don't bother to try to learn themselves about what to teach, so it's up to us to say what our perspective is, and, of course, we're unable to do that because we can't speak for ourwhole race." "It's as if 'this person is Asian therefore they can be a spokesperson for their wholepopulation', and that places too much of a burden on a student and does not reflect the diversity inevery community," Muga said. Muga said that a lot of times other students will say something that isinsensitive to a student with the questions or the point that they may raise, and that may also be a formof discrimination. An instructor may also use the slang for minority that was common in the time periodunder discussion and even that may be painful to some students of color, Muga explained. Curley saidthat in his classes about the culture of India, the class system there and the conquering British usedvery harsh language about the minority or dominated culture, but it is essential to understanding theculture at the time.

She said people would be more sensitive to minority problems if there were more classesto help them become more culturally aware. Yi said that a lot of Asians don't really stand up forthemselves because they have a stereotype of being quiet and intelligent. This is another form ofdiscrimination: any behavior pattern that is expected because of a persons race, color, creed or ethnicbackground. This often leads to treating people differently based on those assumptions orexpectations. This often takes form in behaviors towards a person such as ignoring, keeping a physicaldistance, avoiding eye contact, patronizing, unusual encouragement and paying undue attention to aperson because of their ethnic group. A student of color may also feel very isolated as the only person of color in a classroom. Muga said this situation is a more generalized form of racism caused by a lack ofrecruitment of minorities by Western. Yi said that the percentage of minorities was very low on theWest^ ern campus. She described a class that she had recently of approximately 100people in theclass and there were only two minorities, including herself. "I've heard that there is an increase inminorities on campus this year over last year, and I haven't seen any difference," Yi said. George saidminorities purposely go other places besides Western because of the poor quality of programs forminorities. She said that Western is the only school in the state of Washington that does not have aNative American studies program. "I think that Western doesn't try to make students of color welcome here," George said. She also said there wasn't enough minority faculty on campus because a minorityapplicant might not feel that Western would be a place that would accept their way of thought orteaching style. Bulcroft said the Western faculty is changing rapidly. He said a lot more minorities are being hired, but not as part of a quota system. He said that Western is hiring ethnic minorities asthey are striving to get a better rounded view on all issues. "WWU is under-represented in its students of color in terms of population of color in Washington state," Muga said. Bulcroft said a major reasonwhy there is not a large percentage of minorities at Western is that there is not a large minoritypopulation in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties where most of Western's students originate."We are all recovering racists at best," Curley said. He included himself in with everyone else as hedescribed discrimination in terms of a recovering alcoholic working to improve his situation. ...

But the pursuitof recapturing theirheritage has included an emphasis on higher education, which is helping Native Americans gain a deeper perspective of the larger society and more importantly, a vehicle allowing their culture to beappreciated by all. Making Western a comfortable atmosphere to grow and learn is a goal for MicheleGeorge, a Native American and former Western student active in the AS students organization. NativeAmerican Student Union (N ASU). But she said her educational experience is received in more placesthan just the formal institutional education she got in college. "I see college education as a tool that is useful, but I know there are many ways to be educated," George said. "There are many knowledgeableand respectable people who have no formal education by this society's standards. I am using it as a toolto better understand how this society operates, so I can give our people a better understanding of it."One of the major problems George and other students see at Western is the lack of Native Americanart on campus. "I think this university should try to represent other cultures as much as possible and itdoesn't," she said. 'There is no Native American artwork on this campus. Native Americans in this region are known for carvings that stand outside." Art is essential to Native American social and religiousceremonies. For observers of such art, it can be a window into understanding their culture. ChrisSanchez, a member of the Kootenai tribe in Idaho and student at Whatcom Community College who isactive in NASU, said each piece of Native American art is created as a tool for education, expressing anidea. "Native art is symbolic. It's not just a drawing of something, but a story with a meaning greater than the art itself," he said. By displaying Native American art on campus George and Sanchez feel othercultures may come to better appreciate the significance of the art. The promotion of cultural diversity can help dispel stereotypes about Lummi Tribe Member Juanita Jefferson Photo by Cory Parris NativeAmericans. "Historically, people have believed the very naive idea that Native Americans were savageand unintelligent," George said. "But, if you study the art, you'll see how far advanced the carvings anddesigns are." Celebrating and educating people about the Native American culture is the focus of theNative Cultural Heritage Week in April. Sponsored by NASU, it includes activities ranging from traditional songs and dances to Indian fashion shows, to give people from other cultures an understanding ofNative American traditions. The annual Pow Wow in April also serves this purpose. One difficulty for non-Native Americans who are interested in Native American cultures is that a lot of Native history is notdocumented, said Juanita, Jefferson, a Lummi tribal member and Western graduate student. "Ourculture was an oral culture. Even to this day many of our elders do not want it documented in writing,"she said. "We've resisted putting it on paper for a long time because it's against our culture. But I thinkthere will be a change because that history is often being lost if it's not documented." "But there aremany American Indian writers across the United States who are gaining recognition," she continued."Large collections of their writings are showing up in bibliographies. And there are literature teach-North Garden Inn Elegant Bed Breakfast Accommodations Sumptuous, Scenic, Sensuous 1014N.Garden 671-7828 ers who are beginning to introduce these Indian writings to students." Establishing a curriculum that includes the history and literature of Native Americans is a good place to start, saidSharon Kinley, a Lummi tribal member and Western graduate student in anthropology. "I think anythingwould be an improvement because they have next to nothing," Kinley said. "I think an Indian point of view is not usually found in classrooms." Some faculty members and students said they're also interestedin making Western's educational curriculum reflect more perspectives from other cultures, includingNative Americans. John Purdy, an English professor who teaches classes on Native American literature, said there is a great deal of interest in the English, anthropology and history departments to develop aNative American Studies program at Western. He thinks there is a good chance a program will beestablished and students will be able to minor or possibly major in Native American Studies within thethe next two years. The development of new educational programs and art on campus can helprecognize Native Americans as an independent culture with tradition and heritage as partof theculturalunderstanding necessary for a diversified university and society.

He, she, he or she, or s/he? AsWestern makes a commitment to addressing diversity at this institution, new questions arise about the correctness of the language used to discuss different elements of that diversity. Yet some argue thatthe focus on a "politically correct" language is at worst a dubious, and at best, only the first steptowards achieving diversity. David Muga, coordinator of the Ethnic Student Center, said he feels thatpeople should be sensitive about the language they use, but he also feels that placing emphasis onpolitically correct language allows people to avoid addressing bigger issues, such as poverty,injustice, lack of adequate income and medical care, homelessness, and so on. "I see (politicallycorrect language) as alabel that's being imposed on me to discuss questions that need moreventilation," Muga said. "Politically correct is not only not addressing (the questions), but derailing any attempt to recognize (the questions)." Muga said his use of any specific label to describe anindividual or group of people would depend on the situation, and also on how the individual or groupwished to be identified. He said it is important to remain aware of how people refer to themselves.However, discussing what is politically correct language, is the privilege of the few, Muga said. It doesnothing to help the poor or others who are dealing with reality, and is "non-sensical in the context ofthe needs and suffering out there." And for the future, Muga said, "If politically correct language can begrounded to problems people have on a day to day basis, then I'll probably be involved in it." MichaelDumas, coordinator for the Social Issues office for Associated Students, and former coordinator ofthe Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA), also dislikes the concept of politically correct language. "It is away for a majority of people to feel like they have somehow done a good service for those in theminority through its usage," Dumas said. "It's kind of a way for majority people to feel good aboutthemselves." Like Muga, Dumas added that, "If someone calls me a still treats me like a niglt; call me a nigger. It ^ clelt; "It's not the usage that bothers me, it's the weight of emphasis put on the language to the exclusion of emphasis on changed behavior." Dumas feels the emphasis on language itself isreally a wrong emphasis, because people can change their language without changing theirunderstanding or their attitudes. People can also use politically correct language to cover ignorance andbigotry, he said. "If someone calls me an African- American and still treats me like a nigger, I preferthat they just call me a nigger. It would make things a lot clearer," Dumas said. Instead of focusing onpolitically correct language, Dumas prefers people to strive for social consciousness, and to focus onother active ways, besides just changing words, to break down oppressive and hate-based systems.Angela Reed, co-coordinator of the Women's Center,"thinks that a focus on changing language isimportant, although she dislikes the term "politically correct." "At a time when we're trying to beaware of each other's feelings, I question why it's political," she said. Reed feels that our words defineour underlying feelings towards one another, and that a change in language affects a person'sthoughts. "We think and we talk with the same words. If we're talking with white culture words, that's the way we're thinking. When we make a conscious effort to change our language, we're saying it's timeto recognize that America really is made up of a lot of different backgrounds, and. we need to givethese people equality," Reed said. When asked if she thought politi- Affirmative action strives for equai oA By Caren CaHag nan staff reporter One of the first demands for equal opportunity was made in theDeclaration of Independence. It was a call for all people to be given the "unalienable rights" of "Life,Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Throughout history, men and women have challenged these rights through discrimination. However, in today's society, programs are being developed to promoteopportunities and encourage these rights for the advancement of minorities in the work force andschools. The Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Program at Western is designed to supportminority rights. According to the guidelines of the program, the objectives include developing "a workforce and student body which reflect an equitable distribution of minority...individuals at all levels ofemployment and throughout all departments of the University." Maurice Bryan, director for the Center for Equal Opportunity at Western, said affirmative action is a way of "taking positive or pro-active steps toprovide an environment in which everyone has equal opportunity. "Bryan said that Western would becheating non-minority students if the opportunities to be exposed to minorities' different views were notpresent. In this sense affirmative action "is a program for everyone, not just minorities," Bryan said. Inorder to increase the representation of minorities in the universities and work force, some other schools and employers have developed programs which include quotas. Quotas are numbers set for admittingminority students or hiring minority employees with the objective of increasing the presence ofminority groups previously discriminated against. "There's often confusion between quotas and goals ortargets," Bryan said. "Quotas are something that courts might set when a company or institution hasbeen found to be discriminatory. When you have a goal and you do not achieve the goal yoi revaluateyour efforts and set new goals." Eric Anderson, a political science major, said he feels that the effortshould be made through affirmative action programs to increase the minorities in the workforcelinWc1toOi» "But I have a problem with the use of strict numerical goals or quotas because ofproblems with revers crimination and because it cal people to be looked at as minor ---------- Western Front - 1992 January 28 - Page 9 ---------- January 28,1992 FEATURES The Western Front 9 y correct* language cally correct language is used bya majority culture"to soothe guilt and to .avoid deeper issues, Reed said she thought it was possible."Change in language is a way to tfrican-American and prefer that they just jt make things a lot MichaelDumas, Social Issues Coordinator 'start, but it isn't the solution," she agreed with Dumas and Muga. "It doesn't make everything OK. But if you don't change language, I don't see how you're going to changeanything else, either." Reed mentioned a professor who *said "she" instead of "he" for every instancewhere a generic pronoun was needed. "That just blew me away; I'd never had a class like that," Reedsaid. Reed explained that when other professors have used "he" or "him" that I she has always feltremoved from the discussion, as if listening to the history of someone else. With "she". Reed said she feels included. "If language could include me when I'd always felt left out, that must mean it is a step inthe right Idirection," she said. Students speak about professors using "politically correct" (inclusive,non-gender specific) language in the classroom (Example: "Postal carrier" instead of "Mailman") "Itseems kind of funny. It almost seemed offensive the opposite way ^—feministic to thepointof offendingmasculinity." — Trez, Senior, Manufacturing Engineering Technology "I think that's great. I try and talkto my teachers if they don't do that, if they are sexist, and try to bring it to their attention. I think it should be mandatory. You can't blame guys for being sexist when everything they hear is men, men, men,men, men." — Kelly, Senior, Business "Actually they don't. Spanish would be a very hard language todo that in. Can you imagine trying to do that in the Hispanic culture? Those macho men would have aheart attack and a half!" — Maria, Junior, Spanish/Education "Well, I'm not offended by the old style, you know, 'postman'. Iknow what they're talking about. I mean, they can if they feel like it. I feel it's justan individual preference. It's what people feel comfortable with." — Ann, Junior, Education "I guess I'dsay that first I'd be surprised and I'd also be kind of impressed that he'd worry about it. I'd feel he wasbeing upbeat about it — up to date. I feel it's a good thing." — Teresa, Senior, Education "The onlytime I don't appreciate politically correct language is when they say, 'Mankind' and then they say, 'Oh,does that offend you?' I think it can't just be what's in fashion. It should be in earnest." — Jennifer,Senior, Secondary Education "That's a lot more appropriate because it's more inclusive. It shows morethe reality that's going on, instead of one stereotype controlling society." — Ron, Sophomore,Biology/ Anthropology 'To me, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. Words such as 'mailman' and 'manhole cover' have been so integrated into my everyday thought that it doesn't really matter much to me." — Joe, Junior, Psychology "I haven't given that much thought. I suppose I'm kind of neutral onit. Since I'm a guy it's not really a big issue with me." — Aaron, Senior, Psychology Student aims toteach rich heritage By Merilee King staff reporter A stereotype of the "drunk Indian" who gets moneyfordoing nothing persists in Alaskadespite the unfair inaccuracy of the statement. Julie Karlson, fromKetchikan, Alaska, said that many non-native Alaskans resent the natives because of the money andmedical benefits they receive. Many people in the community are embarrassed by those NativeAmericans who do drink heavily in public, she said. Julie Yates, a Native American from Prince WhalesIsland in Southeast Alaska, is majoring in elementary education at Western because she wants toteach Native American children about their culture in addition to the traditional history curriculum.While attending elementary school in classes which were a fairly even mix of native and non-nativestudents, Yates said she and other natives wondered why their own history was not included. "Iremember raising my hand and saying what about us, what about the Indians. The teacher didn't seem to know anything or really care," Yates said. She remembers the difficulty she and others from her tribehad in accepting the textbooks they were supposed to read as truth when the name of their tribe,Haida, was misspelled and some of the information was not correct. Often when the subject of NativeAmericans is taught it is generally about the past, Yates said. "I think it is good that it is being taught(the past), but it would be better if it included current Native American issues, too," she said. "There is still a lot of ignorance. There is a romanticized notion Americans hold that Native Americans shouldremain the same. This is a dangerous notion because all cultures change over time," said DanielBoxberger, Western anthropology professor. Yates says she has observed an increase in support andinterest on the part of non-natives for keeping the Native American culture alive. This includes promotingtourism of totem pole parks which she sees as a good sign for the native tribes because it brings inincome. But the interest does not always extend to the social problems of the tribes such assuicide,'alcoholism and poverty. Some misunderstanding and bit- Alaskan Native Julie Yates temessbetween natives and non-natives arises because non-native Alaskans resent the income NativeAmericans get from the Alaska Na-tiveClaims Settlement Act (ANCS A). In 1971, Congress allotted$962.5 million and title to 44 million acres of land to Alaskan Native Americans. Tribal corporations wereset up to oversee the land and investments. Each native born before 1971 is a shareholder. Yates saidthat she has personally experienced minimal resentment about ANCS A benefits. She says that theresentment she has felt since mov - ing to Washington is worse. She understands howmuchmoreresentment is directed towards Native Americans in Washington than Alaska. Peopleassume that since she is a - Native-American, she has the same fishing and hunting rights asWashington natives do. Sometimes, when she tells people she likes to fish, the snide commentsfollow. Most people are not aware that in Alaska fishing and hunting rights are confined to the landsallotted to natives through ANCSA. Yates said she does not believe that the system in Alaska is anybetter or worse, only different and wishes people would educate themselves on the actual laws andsurrounding circumstances before they make these judgements. Yates is active in the NativeAmerican Student Union at Western and expressed concern over the small number of Native Americansenrolled at Western. "They are some of the smartest Photo by John Lindblom people I know, they arevery meticulous and methodical," said Lynn Robbins, Huxley professor. Robbins has workedextensively with Native Americans all over the country, as well as many in Alaska. He says part of thereason that so few Alaskan natives do well in the university setting may be the difficulty of adjusting to a different culture. "Native students will go to a city, to a college and they'll get lonely. They get lonelyfor their community, for their language, for the things they are so accustomed to. Every part of their livestheir culture, it is part of everything they do," Robbins said. Many native cultures still obtain about half oftheir food from the wild and maintain many traditional customs. Many tribes are still isolated from non-native cultures; so the adjustment is quite difficult for some, Robbins said. "There is a reservation right next to us, there should be a lot more here, so there has to be some kind of problem," Yates said. "Itwould be logical to have Native American Studies. It would get a lot more natives to come. It would alsohelp teach some people in the community and help get rid of some stereotypes." Love Your NeighborIrtunity for everyone rather than human beings," Anderson said. Although the affirmative action programprovides a means of preventing discrimination, the problem is not obsolete. Liz Partolan-Fray,associate director for Diversity in Multicultural Services Center, said that although the affirmative actionprogram does an adequate job in terms of equal opportunity and admissions, she would like to seeprograms, such as additional scholarships, help minorities continue their education at Western. Ascoordinator for diversity in Admissions, Theodore Pratt Jr., said he feels that Western is doing a "bang-%Faccepting minorities." By striving towards an open line of communication, Pratt works to convinceminorities that Western is a "safe place." His main concern is putting students in a school that they donot feel comfortable in. Although admission programs and affirmative action do a good job at accepting minorities, Pratt said that there is sometimes a general lack of understanding for other cultures amongstudents. "What needs to exist is sensitivity, openness, awareness and a desire of understandingbackgrounds," Pratt said. Ron Gajadher, a first American generation of an East-Indian heritage, saiddiscrimination by faculty or students has not been a problem for him at Western, but he is aware that it still exists. One way that Western can offer more opportunities for minorities, other than theaffirmative action program, is through additional scholarships for all students, not just minorities,Gajadhar said. Bryan agrees that "colleges and universities have a responsibility to in programs thatencourage all students." Examples of such programs may include an aggressive scholarshipprogram or field experience of others working in the community, Bryan said. The Affirmative ActionOffice, which began at Western in 1973, changed its name to the Center for Equal Opportunity last year. Bryan said this was done as an effort to communicate that the center is an equal opportunity for all andthat affirmative action is a key strategy to achieve that overall objective. The center, located in OldMain 375, welcomes students with any concerns.about discrimination or unfair treatment regardingrace, sex, disability or sexual orientation at Western. Bryan encourages these students to seek informal or formal SKI BLACKCOMB!

OVERLAND STAGE 738-1019 ---------- Western Front - 1992 January 28 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front FEATURES January 28,1992 Commentary Confronting racism By Tracy BrewderAsst. Features Editor The bar I work in was unusually quiet during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.One man was sitting down at the very end of the bar sipping a Long Island Ice Tea and reading a book.Another customer was talking about the good old days, in between gulps of beer, to a small group ofpeople who come in every Monday to play darts. I suddenly noticed how loudly the television was blaring as I took a seat on a bar stool. Usually during slow nights such as this, I tuned out the television andconcentrated on my homework, but tonight I decided to flip through the stations to see what was on. Ibecame instantly mesmerized by the screen as an inspiring speech, given by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.back in the '60s, was being re-played. His powerful words reverberated throughout the crowds he wasspeaking to and throughout the bar I was working at. As King's words lifted me, another man's wordschilled me. "Do we have to listen to this shit!" screamed an angry man referring to King's speech.Noticing I was the only one paying attention to the television, he looked directly at me with anintimidating glare as he shouted these spiteful words. I instantly felt my face turning red and myhands began to shake a little as I calmly replied, "Excuse me, do you have a problem with it?" Theman was obviously annoyed and he turned around with his back facing towards me. I continued to watch the rest of King's speech. Would he have shouted this comment across the bar if any African-American people were present? I doubt it. People can be so hypocritically polite when in the presence of minorities, but they become blatantly prejudice and express these opinions openly when theyare in an all-white crowd. They don't realize how offensive this behavior is because people usuallydon't say anything. This wasn't the first time I'd been subjected to others' prejudice in this bar, inBellingham or on Western's campus. But it was the first time I'd confronted a complete strangerand let him know that I was offended. About an hour later, this same old grumpy man, who had been inthe bar numerous times before, never leaving a tip and never smiling, had miraculously becomefriendly. He used the word "please" when ordering a drink and he even left me a 50 cent tip. I like tothink it was his way of saying, "I do have a problem. I'm sorry." People's inability to deal with racialconfrontations in Bellingham became apparent to me one day in class when I realized this wasn't aminority issue, but a white problem. An African-American woman told us a haunting story about herexperience of racism, or rather the lack of dealing with it. The mother quietly stood up and switchedseats with her daughter, confirming her daughter's fear that this woman might be someone to be afraidof. A fear based on nothing but color. As I heard this story, I wanted to believe it was nothing but a horrid flashback from the past, but unfortu- She began her story by explaining how she had recently movedfrom the South to Bellingham to attend Western. One night she attended a ballet on campus at thePerforming Arts Center where she sat do wn in her reserved seat next to a little girl and her mother. The little girl whispered to her mother that she didn' t w ant to sit next to this woman because she was black. nately it was something happening now in the '90s. I was disgusted. Why hadn't the mother introducedher little girl to this woman, assuring her there was nothing to be afraid of? My second question wasmore disturbing than the thoughtless action of the mother. Why was the little girl frightened ofsomeone because of their skin color? Did our present-day society teach her this fear? Wrapping up thestory, the woman said she had experienced more racism in Bellingham than in the South. Thisstatement struck through the numbness which had taken over my body throughout her story, I didn'twant to believe it. A stereotypical image formed in my mind. How could the laid-back and open-mindedpeople of Bellingham be more racist than the "red-necked Southerners'? All of a sudden I realized Iwasn't accepting her statement because I didn't want to accept that oppression taking place inBellingham was going unchallenged. After listening to the story told by the African-American student, Itold myself that I would never be like the woman who switched chairs with her daughter, a person whochose to ignore the situation rather than deal with it. A person who chose not to take the time toexplain to her daughter that this African-American woman was a person just like herself. I also vowedto never again remain silent about my feelings on racism when exposed to others' prejudices. If itweren't for her eye-opening story, I may have changed the channel on King's speech to avoid anuncomfortable situation instead of challenging the man's prejudices. I was tested on these vows I madeto myself on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday when I challenged the man in the bar who ordered me toturn off King's speech. Instead of repressing my anger and ignoring the situation, I felt an overwhelmingamount of satisfaction for standing up to racism^ Picture Yourself Here.

"We wanted to get after them to begin with and press. ..them. I think we did a great job ofthat." The Viking defense was successful in "getting after them," holding them to only 39 percentfrom the field, and forced 31 turnovers from the number one team in the league. "They only shot 39percent and they were leading the district in field goal percentage, so when you shoot 57 percent andthey shoot 39 percent, that is a huge difference," Jackson said."We were going to out-work them nomatter what." Behind an incredible full-court press, Western's forward Duke Wallenborn kicked into highgear, despite back spasms that kept him off the court all week. "I haven't touched a basketball Photo by Jonathan Burton Dave Schmelke (41) shoots through Simon Fraser contact. since Monday (Jan. 20),"Wallenborn said. "It's been a while since I have played, and I was kind of anxious to get out there andplay again since I haven't played in a while." Wallenborn was in the face of Simon Fraser the entiregame. He registered two steals, four rebounds and 29 points before fouling out late in the second half.The status of Wallenborn was questionable due to the back spasms. "I think my adrenaline was going too, that kinda took away the pain a little bit," Wallenborn said. The dominance from Wallenborn opened the game for others, pulling nervous defenders to him. This gave five other Vikings the chance to scorein double figures. "I was trying to get open and if I get the ball, I get it, and if I don't, that'sokay 'cause we have players on the team that can score," Wallenborn said. "Duke has been hurt and didn't practice the last couple days," Jackson said. "It was nice to see him come out there and have a great game forus." The Vikings had a revenge factor come into play. The 95-88 loss to the Clansmen two weeks agowas a spur in the side of a team. "We went up there and they beat us," Wallenborn said. "We hadsomething to prove that we could beat them at our place. That kinda got us motivated."

This new starter is senior Michole Clemans. Although anyone who haswatched a game or a practice in the last four years is already familiar with Clemans. "When I came toWestern my dad told me to be the first one in the gym at practice and the last to leave," Clemans said.The 5-foot-9-inch forward has carried this advice over to pregame warm-up. She is the first on the courtand does not leave until she has shot at least 100 free throws and 50 outside shots. After almost fouryears of dedication and determination, many would view her new role as a starter as hard work finallypaying off, but Clemans doesn't see it that way. "I guess being a starter on a good college team hasbeen a goal in the back off my mind, but I don't take it any more seriously than any other role I've had as a member of this team," Clemans said. Clemans came to Western from Lynnwood High School where,as a senior, she was voted first-team Everett Herald All-Area and All- Western Conference. "Micholewas real excited about the program, it wasn't a hard sell," said Lynda Goodrich, Western athleticdirector and previously the women's basketball coach. "She liked Western as much for the academics as she did the basketball program." As a freshman Michole took it upon herself to become the team'smotivational leader. "Michole was one of those freshman with lots of energy and really worked toencourage her teammates, she hardly played but just really worked to inspire her team." saidcurrent head coach Carmen Dolfo, who was Goodrich's assistant at the time. Clemans played only 170minutes during her freshman year. "I looked at the team I had. My team went to nationals and I wasplaying behind two seniors; one of them was Ail-American, so I was realistic about how much I played. It was my job to be as motivational as I could from the bench," Clemans said. In fact she was somotivational that Goodrich had to have her sit at the opposite end of the bench so she could concentrate on coaching. Her next season was frustrating because she was recovering from a serious knee injurysustained the spring before her sophomore year. She played only 146 minutes that year, even less thanas- a freshman. But Clemans continued to work hard and saw 267 minutes of playing time in 27 of 28games her junior year. As a senior, Clemans will easily play more than her previous three years puttogether. Her role as a member of the basketball team has expanded from an inspirational leader tostarting forward and co-captain. She also leads the team with a 76 percent average on free throws aswell. "Michole's work ethic alone can encourage other people to workhard," Dolfo said. "Her role haschanged from not only getting people going and really encouraging them, to actually incorporating hercontribution to on court action as well." Clemans exercises this work ethic in the classroom as well inthe gym.

Aftergraduation this spring, Clemans plans to pursue a master's degree in education. Her goal is to become a high school social studies teacher and boys basketball coach. "Through teaching and coaching, mymain goal is to create a desire to learn," Clemans said. "I want to teach people the importance of hardwork and self confidence. Self image affects almost all the choices we make in life." She would prefer tocoach boys basketball because she feels they are at a higher level of competition than girls at the highschool level. "I want to coach people who talk, think, eat and dream basketball...I think girls reach thatlevel at the junior college and college level," Clemans said. But for now Clemans is enjoying hersenior year of college and her last year on the Western squad. Her parents always told her that when itstopped being fun, it was time to stop playing—and Clemans is first on the court every time. $2.00PITCHERS (60oz.)

It seems as if every time a Democratic candidate forpresid tries toovercome the Republican incumbent his bedroom performance is rated before his ability to run the nation. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, the leading Democratic presid tial candidate, is being accused of a 12-yearextramarital affair' political suicide for any candidate seeking this country'shigbs office. Gennifer Flowers,thewoman making the accusations, recently came public with her tale of romance after shesold her story to Star magazine. She said she went public because she loved him - and a leader in the Republicanparty urged her to. Unfortunately for Clinton, her love will not help him win Democratic nomination. Voteswill. This scene occurred four short years ago to Gary Hart. The difference is, Hart challenged the pressto find some dirton him. They did - her name was Donna Rice. Clinton did not ask the press to findanything incriminating about him. In fact, he said his marital problems are his own ana people should becommended for trying to keep a troubled marriage alive. Ironically, there has been no mention of hisopponent, Bob Kerrey, and the marital problems that ledto his divorce. When the news on the front pageof a sleazy, grocery-store' tabloid becomes front page news in the mainstream press, you need towonder about the integrity journalists so often spew ~ The next step would be for the New York Times topay som for a "scoop." To print a unsubstantiated story that is written solelyto diminish the character ofa presidential nominee is yellow journalism at best, completely irresponsible by the professionalstandards students of journalism are taught. Consider theorig' source of this story, Star magazine. This isthe same sortofsm that claims a woman gave birth to a child in a coffin andalien' are roaming the worldlike tourists. Clinton did not deny the allegations, but said they did not pertain to his ability to bepresident. In the wake of Flowers' allegations, his abilities have been virtually ignored. Clinton said hewon't discuss the issue anymore, he wants to address voters on the issues affecting the country now. Not some unsubstantiated claims about his sex life. Unless some solid evidence is produced to supportFlow allegations, it's time for the media to refocus on the issues concerning the election. - . ------ ,- IOPINIONS in our society by allowing it, like the crime of murder, to go unpunished. A rapist or potentialrapist needs serious help. But, in order for him to get the help he needs, a victim needs to call thesituation to the attention ofthe authorities. If a rape occurs that might have been averted, what good hascome of it? A man will be institutionalized at great public cost, and a woman's life will be devastated.University Police say there has not been a rape on campus since 1988. My friend, who works on campus, vehemently assures me that this is not true. She sees women on a regular basis who have experiencedthe legal definition of rape on campus but are reluctant to report it for fear of retribution by their aggressor, because they don't want to endure the possible public scrutiny, or possibly because they can't bear thehell ofreliving the event. And I can empathize with the feelings that a rape victim must have, but I havenever called any of those feelings my own. Being a man, I can never really know what it feels like to bestripped of dignity in such a way. I am trying hard to understand, though. Many of "us" men are. I find ittragic that it seems itmust be an "us" and "them" problem. But until society as an entity sees women asequals, and rape as a purely human crime, not as one mainly committed by "us" against "them," womenwill never be able to live without fear. Undoubtedly, fundamental sociological changes must take placebefore men realize that when they harass and rape, they are actually shredding the spiritual integrity ofanother human being capable of experiencing the same creative thought, intense emotion, and utterhumiliation; not just some "babe" who secretly wanted it anyway. One of the most productive actions we, as a collective body of students, can take in order to insure the realization of our professed goal oflivingin a less fearful society is for victims to kick, scream and yell that they refuse to let this happen to themanymore. The powers, of prevention, education and understanding are in our hands. I implore victims andwould-be victims of sexual harassment and assault to report it. Victims owe it to themselves for their own peace of mind to report sexual harassment and assault, they owe it to their community, and they havean obligation to prevent it from happening to their fellow students. There are many organizations on andoff campus that are there to support victims and to stop sexual assault. After all, harassment or rape that goes unreported is just an excuse for the same situation to happen over and over again. The proverbialchain must be broken by the victim before it wraps itself around the neck of another. Rape victims needto overcome fear, speak out By Troy senauts staff reporter I was speaking with a friend of mine the other day - she is a woman who has made it her vocation to help reassemble the emotional and spiritual livesof women who have had them ripped apart by men - men who have harassed them, men who have beaten them, men who have raped them. She and I were having a discussion which evolved into a discourse onthe miserable state of affairs the world is in today. We began to talk about the recent William KennedySmith trial and subsequent acquittal. She made an offhand remark about how she was surprised that thevictim had reported the rape at all, considering the victim knew Smith and the two were out on a date. My friend really was only half-kidding, mocking the seriousness of the subject, so as not to think about it forthe millionth time. But I began to think and I became unusually frustrated. I had hit an intellectual deadend. It was simply beyond my comprehension how any person can have something like rape happen tothem and not want to seek some kind of recompense for such a personal violation. Statistics from arecent survey of 32 college campuses around the country, compiled by psychologist Mary P. Koss ofKent State University, show that 84 percent of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows, Itmade me think that if over four out of five rapes occur between "friends," then something is wrong withsociety's definition of the word "friendship." The question of who is to blame for rape has been heavilydebated in the media lately. The crime ofrape is not like that of murder, where obviously a killer must bepunished for killing. Most rapes involve the breaking of an element of trust between two people. And trustis intangible. So, where do we lay the blame? Is it a woman's fault for becoming friends with and trustinga man, or is it a man's fault for betraying that trust if he rapes her? Statistics show that in WhateomCounty, six to eight rapes occur each week. Nationally, the Kent State survey found that among collegestudents, 42 percent of all rape victims told no one at all about their assaults, and only 5 percent told thepolice. The most disturbing statistic of all camefrom The NationalCampus Violence PreventionCenter, atTowson State University, which stated that 41 percent of rape victims expect to be raped again. Withoutquestion, rape is not the fault of the victim. No one asks to be raped. No one invites it. By definition, rapeis perpetrated against the will of the victim. But if a woman is raped, or thinks she will be raped, and does not do anything about it, she is directly contributing to the problem of rape 14 The Western Front ---------- Western Front - 1992 January 28 - Page 15 ---------- January 28,1992 LETTERS The Western Front 15 The unborn need choices, too Dear Editor: PaulElverud, in his Jan. 10 response to Tim Osterholm's letter, overstepped his boundaries by presuming to speak for all mature, intelligent women. I agree that as a woman I deserve a choice when I decide Idon't want to do something, but not when that choice harms or destroys another life. Many other mature,intelligent women likewise have no respect for a woman's "right" to abortion; instead they respect awoman who has consideration for the unborn life that has no choice. As a committed pro-lifer, I wouldnot feel comfortable seeking guidance from an office that boldly displays the pro-choice banner. Mr.Elverud, AS offices can only serve the student body when they are able to remain neutral on politicalissues. Otherwise, they will continue to waste student funds and tax dollars by catering to the left-wing minority. In Mr. Elverud's own words, "Hopefully, the Women's Center, and the AS as a whole,will avoid narrow-minded perspectives... and continue to stress the right of all people to have equalchoices."Bom and unborn alike. Mrs. Tricia Osterholm Alumnus Frontrunner Syndrome runs rampantDear Editor, We are now in a presidential election year. Unfortunately, as with all election years, somepotential voters get what I call "Frontrunners Syndrome." This is the tendency not to get involved in the political process because "so-and-so is going to win anyhow and my vote won't make any difference."Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, other than an armed revolt by the people, voting is theonly thing that does make a change to the political landscape. Not voting certainly makes no difference.Another symptom of "Frontrunners Syndrome" is io vote for the candidate who is least farthest fromone's own political philosophy and who has the best chance of winning. This usually happens when the candidate one really wants seemingly has no chance of winning the election. If one does not vote forthe candidate one really wants, then that candidate's chances of winning are zero. It may be true thatyour candidate won'twin, butnotvoting for him or her will not help a bit. In asociety that wantsimmediate gratification, "Frontrunners Syndrome" runs rampant. We want to vote for the candidatethat wins. This behavior has had the effect of funnel-ing the ideologies of the two major political partiesinto one monolithic entity. Some call this process "the spirit of compromise." I call it political incest.Our governmental institutions are becoming more and more impotent in dealing with issues because of this convergence in the political gene pool. But we do it to ourselves when we don't vote for whomwe really want in office. Voting for an obscure candidate does not go unnoticed. At the very least, theclerks who record the votes will remember which candidates got how many votes. And chances are,they will pass this information to someone else. The word will get around. Maybe your candidate won'twin this time, but the more votes he or she gets in the present election will make it more likely that he orshe will win in the next. It's a choice between either patience or impotence. Sincerely, Eric LewisAlumnus Hays displayed professionalism To the Editors of the Western Front: I would first like tocommend Alex Hays for the professionalism he displayed during the last few days. I had the opportunityto view firsthand the devastation this episode caused him and I am sorry that, of all the board members,he was the one to be challenged. I feel it is important to express my support of Alex. Throughout theentire procedure he kept the interest of the student population, and the university, in mind when otherpeople would not have been so considerate. I have seen Alex work for student interests throughout theyear. He has made this university a better place for the student body. One specific example is hisstrong stand on the issue of student rights on the keg policy. He was willing to take stands for studentissues when others of the Associated Students remained silent I wish to express my thanks for hisexcellent leadership skills and regret to see him leave the board.

They were waiting for their father, a teacher atBellevue Christian School, to register for summer classes here. English rift sparks resignation bySANDY CATT Merrill Lewis, English department, recently resigned as Faculty Affairs Council (FAC)chairman to protest application Tor a grant to plan a new English master's degree. Lewis quit during theMay 24 FAC meeting, two weeks before lis term was to expire, because he grant proposal for aprogram in technical report writ-ng was submitted without com-jlete department review. If awarded, the money would )e used to plan and establish ourses in report and technical vriting for mid-management gt;ersonnel in fields like the )epartment of Social and lealth Services, Samuel Kelly, raduate Schooldean said. The three-year, $500,000 [rant proposal was submitted pproximately seven weeks go, Kellysaid. The grant equest was written by Ken ymes and Robert Brown, Eng-sh faculty, and is calledDocument Design Project Pro-ram." James Davis, College of irts and Sciences dean, and olden Larsen,English depart-lent chairman, approved the grant application and forwarded it to Kelly. Kelly gave itfinal approval and sent the request to the National Institute of Education. Lewis, who was unaware of the application until after it was submitted, said he thought all grant applications that might affect curriculum would be reviewed. "When I asked (Davis) how this grant went in, I was told it was none of mybusiness," Lewis said. James Talbot, vice president of academic affairs, said he "assumed" a committee existed to review the proposal, Lewis said. He said the further he inquired, the wider a variety of policyexplanations were given. "As a chairman, I ought not to have to spend hours on the phone just to belead on a merry chase for different committee members," Lewis said. Kelly, who reviews and authorizes all grant applications, said because the English grant request would initially provide money to plan anew program, it didn't need to go through the formal reviewing process. He said every grant proposal he accepts must have an active faculty sponsor and the department chairman's approval. "I have toassume when a proposal comes over here, it is with faculty support. I don't say total agreement; I sayreview" Kelly said. A general session was not conducted to discuss the proposal, Lewis said. "Thefaculty did review (the application) but a few faculty here and a few faculty there isn't the same as asystematic review," Lewis said. He charged Kelly was "a little cavalier" in his authorization of theproposal without more intensive review. "Program approval depends on something to talk about. We'renot talking about a new program. We're a long way from there," Kelly said. After the first planning year,before the master's degree is offered, it must be approved by the graduate council of the Englishdepartment, the other colleges within Western, the Graduate Council on Post Secondary Educationand the Board of Trustees, Kelly said. Campus security to be investigated byJOHNWATKINS Aninvestigation of the Safety and Security department is planned for either this summer or next fall. DougScott, AS vice president for internal affairs, requested the investigation. He said he wants theemergency procedures used by security investigated and the training given to student patrolmenreviewed. Scott said an incident in which Victoria Peabody, a Western student, lay on the ground fornearly an hour with a broken back before security officers called an ambulance was the "last straw" in aseries of incidents that lead him to believe the investigation was needed. R.G. Peterson, director ofsafety and security, said he welcomes the investigation. "I'd like to see the air cleared," Potorson said,"this department has no secrets." Potorson said records about tho Poabody incident could not legallybo made public. A student involved in the incident requested that the records not be released. Under thestate Security and Privacy Act, security must respect that person's desire for privacy. The SecurityAdvisory Committee (SAC) formed a task force to investigate security's procedures. Scott said he isunhappy with the composition of the proposed task force. The SAC "task force on safety and security" is to be made up of members of three commutes: the Central Safety Committee (CSC), the SAC and theParking and Transportation Committee (PTC). R.G. Peterson, director of safety and security, ischairman of the CSC and the SAC, and he is the only permanent member of the PTC. In a letterprepared for the Associated Students Board of Directors, Scott said, "It is important that the universitycommunity believes that a fair and totally impartial investigation is being conducted. Therefore, it isimportant that the task force has no relation to the Department of Safety and Security." Peterson saidhe would remove himself from participation in the three committees during the investigation. Nosympathy Ray raps Crabshell by CHRIS JARVIS Gov. Dixy Lee Ray will haVe ( no sympathy forprotesters planning to commit civil disobedience at the Satsop nuclear power plant site tomorrow and Saturday. [See related story page 2] Speaking at a press conference Monday, Ray said shewould not offer any "soft words" to those protesters, as she did for Trident protesters arrested at thenuclear submarine base at Bangor May 22 and 23. Ray was in Bellingham to address state Grangeconvention delegates. The convention runs the rest of the week. "Their announced intention," shesaid of the Satsop protesters, "is to trespass on private property, shut down an operation and causetrouble. And no, I don't have any soft words for them," she said. Asked her reaction to opponents ofthe proposed Puget Power nuclear power plant in Skagit Valley, she responded, "I ask them what theirhang-up is." She said those who oppose the proposed plant are "poorly informed." Ray said theoverwhelming voter support of proposition 13 in California was "well signaled." She said Washington-ians must take a wait-and-see attitude to see if the adverse effects that are predicted, actuallymaterialize. Ray told convention delegates that the passage of the proposition 13 is a "meat-axapproach to taxation." Regarding wilderness preservation, Ray said, "If it's wilderness, people can'tvisit it." She said the need to open recreational land is more important than preservation. Ray said34,000 people visited state parks last year. However, she noted that only one-half of one percent of the population ever can use the wilderness because "backpackers are the only ones that can get inthere." Ray also called the move by the federal government to take control of Washington's fisheries"arrogant and unnecessary." Negotiations had been going well between state, commercial fisheryand Indian officials, she said. •rH River dance The sport, the art and the pleasures of kayaking areexplored on page 7.

At least for one year. Funding, thebig obstacle to gaining varsity status, was temporarily solved by Mary Robinson, acting vice presidentfor student affairs. Robinson gave the athletic departments $5,000 from the Student Affairs office to fundmen's and women's soccer for the 1978- 1979 season. Coaching, however, will have to be funded by the team. A total of $1,500 must be raised. After the 1978-1979 season, the problem of funding is placedon the men's and women's athletic departments. Money for the athletic departments comes from theDepartmentally Related Committee. The Departmentally Related Committee gets its money fromservice and activities fees ($54 from each full-time student's tuition and $6 for each credit hour frompart-time students). The Departmentally Related Committee did not allocate any funds for soccer thisspring. Men's athletic director Boyde Long said they were simply "too late" in getting the request foradditional funds. Robinson said soccer's chances for remaining a varsity sport past the 1978-1979season depend on the Departmentally Related Committee getting a larger chunk of the service andactivities fees. Service and activity fees also support the Associated Students and Housing andDining. The service and activities fees are split with Housing and Dining getting 53 percent, theAssociated Students getting 26 percent and the Department-ally Related Committee getting 21 percent. A new service and activities fees breakdown will be made next January by a committee of sixrepresentatives. The committee consists of a student and an administrator from Housing Studentinterns get experience off-campus by BILL MCNEILL Internships at Western are alive this summer andare doing well off campus. Approximately 10 departments have about 90 interns earning credit for field experience off campus. Often interns receive a salary. This does not include many students workingat jobs that were formerly internship positions which evolved into summer jobs in the student's major area. Neither does it include the human services or education departments, which have on-going field placement programs throughout the year. The technology department and the leisure studies program give the most summer internships. Leisure studies anticipate about 27 students for summerinternships. Leisure studies 471, "Internship and Seminar," allows students to work up to 10 weeks full-time for 15 credits. Many students work in outdoor settings such as summer camps, city andcounty park departments, the National Park Service, and the special services division of the U.S.military. Other placements are in mental health clinics, hospitals, and alcoholic rehabilitationprograms. Three students in this course have set up their own guide service for river rafting.Students in the program are placed as far away as New York and Alaska. The technology department has over 25 students placed in summer internships, Dick Vo-gel, industrial work-study supervisorand technology faculty member, said. They are enrolled in technology 402, "Cooperative Work-Study," and receiving up to 15 credits for jobs with pay. Most internship students are juniors orseniors, and earn approximately one credit for each 40 hours of work, but many students are earningbetween six and nine credits. Student placements include such jobs as engineering aides, graphicsdesign assistants, auto mechanic assistants, and furniture makers. One student is working as a yardcontroller in a Tacoma lumber mill in management training. Another is a technical aide in Boeing'sAuburn plant. A third student designed a construction contract to build tables and chairs for a rangerstation near Quil-cene, Washington. He then bid for the job and was awarded it. Four students areenrolled in Vicoed 449, "Field Intern-continued on page 8 and Dining, a student and an administratorfrom the Associated Students and a student and a faculty member from the Departmentally RelatedCommittee. Robinson said soccer or another sport might have to be eliminated if there isn't arenegotiation of the split for the service and activities fees. Long agreed the possibility always existedthat one sport might have to be eliminated but said eh'minating a sport "would be the worst thing wecould do." If a sport had to be eliminated, soccer,, which probably would have over 60 participants,might still be kept. "I don't think it (soccer) is just a one year shot," Long said. Long would not saywhich sport might be eliminated or what criteria would be used to eliminate a sport if necessary, but hesaid numbers of participants was not necessarily a factor. Soccer members will begin their fundraising campaign in the fall. The question of how a coach will be paid after the 1978-1979 season is stillin doubt. "We would like to raise it (the money for a coach) by the end of fall quarter," Joe Sutton,president of the Associated Student's soccer club and a representative on the athletic committee, said."We feel we can go to the community now that we're a varsity sport." Any money that might be in theAssociated Student's soccer club fund can not be used to pay for a varsity coach. The money has toremain because soccer will continue on a club basis in addition to the varsity team. Crabshell Allianceprotests nuclear plants by JESSIE MILUG AN Anywhere from "hundreds to thousands" of demonstrators are expected to gather this weekend at the construction site of the Satsop nuclear plants near Elma,southwest of Olympia. On Sunday, the Crabshell Alliance, a state-wide group promoting "safe and lifeaffirming energy policies," plans to "mobilize the citizenry and march onto the site and occupy it untilconstruction has ceased," according to its press release. Non-violence training sessions "areessential for people planning civil disobedience," local Crabshell Alliance spokeswoman MarthaMcKibben said. "The majority of the people from Bellingham probably will be support people" toattend rallys and workshops on alternative engery choices Saturday on the nearby Spaulding farm."The non-violence training sessions we have had are only for those people who plan to get arrested. Wewill have a last minute session on Spaulding's farm where we will gather," McKibben said. Thoseplanning to enter Sunday will plant trees and bushes on the site to begin reclamation of the manyacres of land cleared for construction, according to the Alliance. A survey of Gray's Harbor County isplanned Saturday to pinpoint local attitudes about the Satsop development. Developing "strong andtrusting ties" and educating the community are goals of the demonstration, which has been dubbed the"Satsop Reclamation" by the Alliance. Stopping construction and restoring the site are demands madeby the Alliance to the Washington Public Power Supply System, the agency building the nuclearplants. "We don't think there will be as many people getting arrested as at the Tridentdemonstration," McKibben said. About 260 persons were arrested while protesting the Tridentnuclear submarine May 22 and 23 at the Bangor base. "This is the first action at Satsop that will putpeople in an arrest situation. We can gain support and build "like the Trident movement has," she saidof the Alliance that has been active for about one year. The group got their name from similarorganizations around the country against nuclear power, McKibben said. The first group was theClamshell Alliance, from Seabrook, N.H., which protested a nuclear power plant site nearclambeds. The group's intention was "to speak for the clams," McKibben said, because the shellfish don't have a voice in the change of their habitat. The Abalone Alliance in Calif, and the SunflowerAlliance, Kan. are other groups organized to protest nuclear development, she said.

Mass trial proposed for protesters by JESSIE MHUG AN The largest trial in UnitedStates history could take place in the Seattle Center Coliseum this summer. It will only occur if over 260 demonstrators arrested at the Trident nuclear submarine base in Bangor get their request of a massappearance in federal district court. People arrested May 22 and 23 at the Trident demonstration fortrespassing and "re-entry," a second-offense trespassing charge, made a pre-trial motion Monday to theU.S. prosecutors office in Seattle for a mass trial, defendant David Mueller said. The coliseum is the only facility large enough to hold the defendants, Mueller said. The proposed trial would be instead of fivetrials scheduled this summer, in which the defendants would appear in groups of 5 to 107 before twodifferent judges. Mueller, from Bellingham, said he thinks the groups will have some bargaining power to get the mass trial. "Many of us could ask for a jury trial and we may get it. The individual trials •would tie up the court docket 'indefinitely — so the courts '• might comply (with the request for amass trial)," Mueller said. Publicity is "certainly one , element" in the mass trial request, Mueller said."But another element is that the court system makes people feel immobile and helpless by divid- , ingthem," he said. "The interest (in the case) is dispersed while the issue is the same — the court istrying to , divide people even though 'everyone is there for the same reason," David's wife, Lucia Smith-Mueller said. . Mueller said he has not been "putting energy" into the case because "I have alreadymade my statement to the courts" by being arrested. Trident demonstrators were arrested after entering the base in a protest against nuclear submarines to be docked there. Those charged with "reentry" were arrested on the base May 23 after receiving "barring letters" the day before warning them against entering the base again. ---------- Western Front - 1978 June 22 - Page 3 ---------- Thursday, June 22,1978 Western Front 3 RAY RESPONDS — Gov.

AS councils could be weeded Doug Scott, vice president for internal affairs-elect, willsubmit two proposals dealing with AS organizations at the AS Board of Directors meeting June 27. Thefirst calls for reorganization of all AS councils and reducing the number of members. "We need toweed out members who aren't interested in what they're doing," Scott said. "The Recreation Council,for instance, has 26 members, I'd like to get it down to 11." Other groups affected would be theActivities Council, Facilities Council, Services Council and Bookstore Council. Scott said similarorganizations would be represented as one body rather than independent units. "Instead of havingone representative from each of the club sports and other clubs which we do now, we'd have twomembers represent all the club sports, two representatives for all the recreation clubs and so forth," hesaid. "We also would have two independent at-large members working with all the councils to helpassure objective decisions," he added. Scott said the proposal also calls for his office to be givenauthority to nominate replacements in council positions if vacancies occur. "They (AS president and vice president of external affairs) have the power to do this, so my office should also," he said. Scottsaid the move is justified because final decision making power will rest with major organizations suchas the AS board and various committees. Scott's second proposal calls for an AS committee todetermine if AS suborganizations are using AS funds to further their political causes. "I've observedtoo much abuse of students' funds by groups trying to benefit their own political beliefs," he said. Scottsaid a committee of about five persons is needed to find abuses and tell guilty organizations toconform or disband. "The committee will disperse after the survey is made," he added. "It will be myjob or someone else's to keep an eye on things after that." Kurt Hanson, AST presidentelect, said hefavors both proposals as long as they are handled carefully. "We must deal with each position andgroup individually," he said. Scott said both proposals are in rough form and open to suggestion andimprovement. Religious groups might get free space byJOHNWATKINS A decision that would forcereligious groups to pay rent for the use of space in campus buildings might be nullified Tuesday at anAssociated Students Board of Directors meeting. Last year's board adopted a policy Spring quarteron the recognition of student groups which excluded religious groups. Only student groups can meet inthe student union building (the Viking Union) rent-free. The policy was intended to bring the AssociatedStudents in line with the state consitu-tion, according to a brief prepared for the board by last year'sAS President Dave Clark and board member Martin Reeves. The state constitution prohibits the useof state property for "religious activities, exercise, or instruction." The new AS President, KurtHansen, said he thought the policy was unfair. He and other board members went on record against thepolicy during the elections last quarter. The policy passed at a meeting attended by ministers ofinterested christian groups and over 100 students prior to the voting. Before the voting, Hansen saidhe thought arrangements could be made for religious groups to use Viking Union space without payingrent. The Friday Night Fellowship threatened to 'sue if it is charged a rent that would , approach the cost of suing. The fellowship has refused offers of free space from the Campus Christian Ministry and Hillside Chapel.

"The program is a littlelarger than previous years, and I don't see us expanding it much further in the near future," Sparks said.Assistance to 175 students enrolled in six and nine week sessions totalled $140,000. Last summer, 125 students received $75,000 through National Direct Student Loans, college work-study jobs andSupplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. "This is the first year we gave any substantialamount of Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants," Sparks said. More student loans also were given this summer. Summer financial aid is the money left from the previous academic year's program.Sparks said the usually rigid eligibility requirements for summer aid were less strict this quarter,however, only students qualifying for assistance during the previous year were eligible for aid. Students graduating at the summer's end previously were given priority consideration. This year, studentsgraduating anytime next year also were given preference. Awards were based upon student's 1977-78financial need statements. "One option students could explore, if they weren't given aid," Sparks said,is federally- ' insured student loans available at banks and credit unions. This loan charges sevenpercent interest, but some students with yearly family incomes less than $25,000 are exempt frominterest charges until after graduation, Sparks said. Payment of a student loan usually begins ninemonths after completing school. Institutional student loans for less than $300 are available at thefinancial aid office. This loan requires a co-signer who promises to pay the loan if the student fails torepay within six months. Students can make monthly payments or a lump sum repayment on the sixpercent interest loan. The financial aid office also offers short-term emergency loans of up to $50. The30-day, six percent interest loans can be obtained in one day with a signature guarantee ofrepayment. Sparks also recommends the Student Employment Center's offerings for students whoneed to supplement their summer incomes. Viking cars are stars A New York-based film crew visitedhere recently to shoot a 20-minute documentary on Western's experimental Viking cars. Sponsored bythe Aluminum Association, the film "deals with aluminum as a contemporary metal," Mel London, film crew chief, said. "We're talking about the future in our film and aluminum autos are the way to go,"London said. The aluminum Viking IV and V cars, designed to be lightweight and fuel-saving, werefilmed on the road and in construction. The film will be released to schools by Vision Associates nextfall. The cars, which have won national awards in performance and efficiency, are designed andconstructed by faculty and students of the Vehicle Research Institute, a division of the technologydepartment.

Tenure is a time honored way toassure job security of college professors, who at one time feared the loss of their jobs because of falseaccusations, misconceptions and paranoia that ran rampant throughout the US in the 1950's. Asexpressed by various college educators, the tenure system should be either abolished or changed toprovide what it was originally intended to do. Ideally, tenure was designed to protect educators who,because of their beliefs and their value as educators, had to be protected from arbitrary dismissal fromteaching duties. Former Fairhaven Dean Joseph Bettis was granted tenure by the Board of Trustees at its June 1 meeting. While we don't question Bettis' abilities as an educator, we question the policy by which the tenure was granted. Newly appointed member of the Board of Trustees, Curtis Dalrymple said, "He(Bettis) appeared to have excellent qualifications. His background in publishing, teaching and civic dutieswere fine." What about other professors at Western who have been denied tenure or promotion eventhough some have had much more experience? Bettis has been at Western for three years and in thattime has not had a great amount of experience in the classroom at Western. How many administratorsdo? The criteria for granting tenure, and the job security that goes along with it, should be based on theprofessors ability to gain the respect of collegues and students alike. This is not to say that one must bewell liked, but one must have proven himself in the classroom, in literature pertaining to his or her fieldand in civic activities. Our question is, has Joseph Bettis been granted tenure by virtue of his former postas dean of Fairhaven College, or by his abilities within the classroom. Bettis must prove himself in theclassrooms of Western before granting of tenure can be justified. One question remains unanswered.Why was Joseph Bettis granted tenure when he didn't even gain the confidence of his own faculty andstaff members at Fairhaven? Dixy's crabby too Gov. Dixy Lee Ray thinks the prospective protesters ofthe Satsop nuclear power plant site are trouble makers. We think they are trouble haters. Ray's concept of the protesters' intentions "to trespass on private property, shut down an operation and cause trouble,"sounds as though she isn't quite hearing the "squeaky wheel" the Crabshell Alliance is creating. As thealliance said, "it is up to people to put a stop to nuclear power before nuclear power puts a stop topeople." These persons, who feel strongly enough against nuclear power to put their freedom in jeopardy, shouldn't be discounted as mere trouble makers. Mere rabble rousers wouldn't expend the effortsacrificed by prospective protesters to plan workshops on nuclear power and alternative energy sourcesand organize the non-violent training sessions required of persons intending civil disobedience. Plant site trespassers plan to plant trees. That doesn't sound like a bad idea because last winter the plant sitebegan eroding into the nearby Chehalis River. The run-off destroyed several salmon spawning creeks. The Skagit River, which will accommodate the proposed Skagit Valley nuclear power plant, would remainunchanged if many local persons had their wav. - Monday, Ray said those who oppose the Skagit plant are, "poorly informed." Information compiled by the Bonneville Power Administration concluded thatsaving energy through conservation would cost only one-sixth of the money required to produce an equalquantity of energy from a nuclear power plant. Conservation is cheap and can be implementedimmediately, but in this automated society human labor is devaluated. Historically, industry hassubstituted energy for human effort. American industries require one-third of the nation's total energywhile providing one-tenth of the country's jobs. The effort expended by Satsop protesters might involve alarge cost: freedom. As crazy as Ray thinks them to be, the Crabshell group appears to be planning asane approach to a powerful state and national problem. As your attorney...

Dan Warner is a practicing attorney in Bellingham. If there is amatter that you would like to have addressed, drop a line to: Opinion Editor, Western Front, Bellingham,WA 98225. By Dan Warner Question: What are the policies on consumption of alcohol on campus?Answer: The Campus Security treats drinking here just as the police treat it in general. A person of age(21 or over) can drink on campus if he or she does so in a non-public place — in a dorm room forexample. Obviously, an underage person can also drink in the privacy of his own room, break the law,probably not get caught; it's likely that frequently happens. Unless drinkers are really rowdy, the securityofficer will not have reason to knock on doors and ask for ID. However, "Minor in Possession" (of alcohol) is a crime, and carries a penalty: for the first offense, a $50 fine and usually a two or three daysuspended sentence. It is illegal for anyone to drink in public; if you're caught doing that, the policeusually tell you to take your bottle and go home, or pour it out on the spot. If you refuse, you will bearrested, and the penalty is, again, a fine and a suspended sentence. Usually people don't get caught asMIP's (minor in possession) because they are found drinking at a party or gathering, but rather becausethey are carrying a bottle or a can from place to place, and then they're arrested. The other thing to beaware of is it is illegal for an adult to furnish liquor to a minor. Here's a question not asked, but answered anyway: yes, the Campus Security are commissioned offers ready, able and willing to arrest you andcharge you with a crime. There are 12 officers who wear badges — they are official policemen. Actuallythe Campus Security is a highly trained and very professional group: they must pass written, oral,physical, and mental tests and they attend a 10 week police academy. Under any circumstances, it'svery bad policy to be rude and abusive to oolice, because thev can then write you up for Obstructing anOfficer and create a hassle for all. staff EDITOR: Jessie Milligan NEWS EDITOR: Sandy CattPRODUCTION MANAGER: Rick Eskil PHOTO EDITOR: Chuck Leach COPY EDITORS:John WatkinsBruce Stinshoff OPINION EDITOR: Chris Jarvis The Western Front is the official newspaper of WesternWashington University.

Steve Dolmatz is the host of the open mike and is also the first performer at everyThursday night session. He performed for about a year at Fast Eddie's before he became host. "Itis really the only acoustic open mike in town," Dolmatz said. "Some of the best music in town is playedhere, and every night someone will blow everyone out with a great set," he added. Other places haveopen mikes, but they are different from Fast Eddies. The Hacienda's is more electric and MammaSundays at Western is focused around a featured act instead of the guest performers, Dolmatz said.The audience rarely pays close attention to the acts unless it is something extraordinary or unusual.However, all performers are not ignored but listened to in the manner of back-ground music. Randy andBarbara Clein are the new owners of Fast Eddie's and under the new management the restaurant hastaken on a more creative image. A poetry reading is offered each Monday night as well as the Thursdayopen mike. "If you stimulate an audience you will bring in a good audience," Dolmatz said. Theaudience is not the only one stimulated by the performances. The performers also are stimulated byentertaining and a free pitcher of beer. Cristian Miller, a regular performer at the open mike, said, "Itbothers me that they don't listen but it is challenging. The acoustics are horrible and the sound systemis bad. You have to be powerful enough to stir the people." "I like the place here a lot. It is as close to aGreenwich Village type atmosphere that can be found," Ove Oftness, an acoustic guitar player andsinger, said. THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT — Jess the mime clown performed at Fast Eddie's openmike. She was one of many performers who caught the crowd's attention, with the help of Jenny,Concerts commemorate Schubert Jesse Wilmes, a mime clown and flutist, said "Performing hereprojects a good feeling." Wilmes projected a good feeling to the audience with her mime routine. She isone of the few with a non-music act and was able to grasp the attention of the audience. Her four-partact included skits entitled "The Bread Line," "Lollipop Kid," "Emotions," and "Hitchhiker." Wilmes later played the flute in a four-piece band. She said she performs because "I have a lot of friends in theaudience." Dolmatz said one of the reasons people perform is because no pressure is put on theperformers. But the performers put the pressure on themselves. Oftness said "I am not nervouswhen I am up there. Just afterward I become nervous." With the option of other open mikes inBellingham, the performers and the audiences prefer Fast Eddie's version over the others because ofthe atmosphere. Not that the air is any better at Fast Eddie's than anywhere else, but it is, as Oftnessput it, "the coffee house feeling." The patrons are attracted because of this setting. Steven Garmanian,a regular viewer of the open mike, said he goes because "It is a wholesome social setting. I go to findout what is going on in the music world in Bellingham." The open mike was summed up best by Miller:"I think it is great that places like Fast Eddie's, Mamma Sunday's, and the Hacienda are open enoughto be open." Jenny Vocal and chamber music of Franz Schubert will be presented in a series ofThursday evening concerts starting tonight. The concerts, in commemoration of the 150thanniversary of Schubert's death, begin at 8:15. Wine and cheese are served during intermissions, andadmission is free.

Six adult performances and two children's plays will be presented between July 12 andAugust 19. Curtain time for the adult performances is 8:15 p.m. and the children's plays will start noonand 2 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Dennis Catrell, theatre dance department chairman and summerstock director, selected for production: "Something's Afoot," an Agatha Christie murder mysteryspoof; Shakespeare's love comedy, "Love's Labor Lost;" William Inge's "Picnic," an award-winningexploration of youth and shattered dreams; Leonard Gershe's "Butterflies are Free," a sad-sweet tale oflove; "Dial M for Murder," Frederick Knott's psychological thriller; and Joseph Kesselring's comedyand perennial favorite, "Arsenic and Old Lace." The children's plays are being produced by children'stheater director Douglas Van-der Yacht, in conjunction with summer stock. Rehearsals in the Old Maintheater laboratory are "The Wise Fools," and "The Ice Wolf," both by Joanna Kraus, who will bevisiting Western briefly this summer. "Wise Fools" will play July 7 and 8, and "The Ice Wolf' will run July 14 and 15. First rehearsals were last Saturday and continue daily through August 15. Summer stock is billed as "15 credit hours of total involvement in theater," for nine weeks. Catrell told the first meetingof about 36 last Friday, "the involvement will be more demanding and exhausting than you think orremember." Each day for the nine weeks all company members must be available for rehearsals andother "crew calls" for three periods (morning, afternoon and evening) sometimes lasting into the night. Inaddition to rehearsals, duties include lighting assignments, costume work, publicity assignments, setbuilding and other areas. ~ Catrell will be directing "Love's Labor Lost" playing July 19 through 22; "DialM..." running August 9 through 12; and "Arsenic." running August 16 through 19, the last production.

Any kayaking enthusiast, however,will recognize this expression as the movement that allows him to play in dangerous waters with theconfidence and grace of an otter. Kayaking, originally developed by Indians a3 a means oftransportation and livelihood, has evolved into a sport which is attracting a small but fervent group ofpractioners. Francis Hildebrand, a 50- year-old mathematics professor who also teaches kayaking atWestern, said the sport has not yet come of age in this country. He estimates only 40,000 kay-akerslive in the United States compared with 60,000 in West Germany. But the numbers are growing.Hildebrand said when he began kayaking 10 years ago, it was rare to see another kay-aker. Now, 10 to12 students a quarter enroll in the class he started two years ago. The reasons why this sport" yet hasnot reached widespread popularity might appear obvious to those of average daring: plummetingthrough Whitewater in a tiny fiberglass craft seems dangerous. Hildebrand maintains the hazardsactually are minimal once a person masters the basic skills, however. "The most dangerous part of anykayak trip is driving to the river," he says. Training begins in Carver Pool. Students receive 10 hours ofinstruction in paddle strokes and in the Esquimo Roll and its variations (the Roll is like a sidewayssomersault performed with the kayak attached to you.) Then, students are ready for their first plungein the Sauk River. A group of 10 beginners is accompanied by six supervisors. After the riverexpedition, four to six more hours are spent in the pool, Hildebrand says. This allows students toperfect their skills in a calm environment. Hildebrand admits the experience has its "anxiousmoments" but said that is the result of its novelty. "It's scary as hell because you're not used to it,"he said. He often will join a student in a seemingly threatening situation to prove it is really safe.Some people, Hildebrand said, will become paralyzed by fear. Others find it gives them energy. Perhapsthis might explain why those who take to the sport do so with an enthusiasm approaching a religiousconversion. One such devotee is Jay Nombalais, 26, a former student of Hildebrand's. "I'mconsumed," Nombalais said. He said he spends two days a week in white water and another twopaddling his kayak around Chuckanut Bay. He describes kayaking as "almost a spiritual discipline... Itcomes down to being fully concentrated in a particular moment. You have to be because your lifedepends on it when you're in big water." He chose kayaking over other vater sports such as canoeingand rafting, he said, because the kayak allows him to be closer to the water. "It is an extension of yourbody. You don't sit in a kayak — you wear it." He said kayaking is a powerful experience andspeaks with excitement about the energetic exchanges between a kayaker and the water. "Power iswhen you have control of yourself and of the kayak. You never have control of the river, yet you are ableto dance with it. In fact, once you find a balance, you can literally choreograph a routine coming down ariver." Dancing might sound like a delicate description for such a rugged sport but the word occursfrequently in Nombalais's conversation. In fact, it seems to be a well-established expression in theterminology of kayaking. Michael Cochrane, who used to teach Hildebrand's class along with him, is inthe process of writing a book about kayaking. This is one of his descriDtions: Lake travel can be adance, but your partner, the lake, rarely gets exhuberant. Rivers can be stately processions, waltzes,polkas — sometimes they throw you about like demented adagio dancers; and in some rare andpowerful moments, they prefer to dance alone. Nombalais takes the idea a step further. He saidkayaking is an "art form," which can never fully be mastered. "You become more proficient but you arealways seeking to become more in tune with the water, to get closer and closer to the medium itself."Because it is a sport which relies more on intuition and subtle techniques than strength, Nombalais andHildebrand said women comprise one half of his classes. For the same reason kayaking also ispracticed by people of all ages. Hildebrand was 40 when he started and he says it is not unusual to see60- and 70- year-olds out on the water. Although available to anyone, kayaking does seem to attracta particular type of person, the adventuresome. Nombalais compares a river run to an exploration. Hesaid he has been able to go places in a kayak that few others have seen. "You are seeing nature from a completely different vantage point because what you are seeing is inaccessible except in a kayak." Healso said a lot of romanticism is involved in the sport because it is still so relatively untried. "It's whereskiing was about 40 years ago. There's a tremendous camaraderie a-mong kayakers, a real bond."Hildebrand said he kayaks "because there is no tenure in it." In a culture which he said is "so oriented to wanting permanence," it helps him to remember that "we only have a temporary position on theplanet." Hildebrand does not swim and said he is terrified of water. Because of the potential dangerinvolved in kayaking he said it is a good way to learn to live with your fears. Nombalais said the sporthas improved his life. "It has cleared up a lot of things as far as priorities go. Some struggles seemmeaningless and the creative parts of my life are enhanced. It puts you in touch with the raw power ofnature itself. It wears off on you. It must."

LV, No. 15 Bellingham, Washington Friday, Feb. 8, 1963 D0UG MOSER, senior government major at Western, will leave this year for a stintin the Peace Corps. Moser hopes to go to India. Moser To India Westernite Joins PC I n a recentinterview, Doug Moser, a senior majori n g in political science and sociology, informed this r e p o r t er t h a t w i t h i n t h e y e a r h e plans t o be in Indian s e r v i n g t h e Peace Corps as a teacher in t he secondary schools. In response to a query of why he chose India, Moser replied, "In short, within thenext 10 or 20 years, because of both location and population, India is going to be the seat of world-power . . . much as was Britain in the 18th and i:)th Centuries." • • • Mosor recently appeared onChanrsl 12's "Emphasis" (Sundays Jan. 20), where he participated in a panel discussion on Nehruand India. Moser, who graduates this June, says that if he is accepted by the Peace Corps, he mustattend a four-month training period starting this summer. During this time he must learn the physical,practical, theoretical and political implications of the Peace Corps plus the requirements of hisparticular trade (teaching). When asked if he could speak Indian now, Moser said, "No, but it isessential." During his four-month training he must learn to read, write and speak the language fluently.Moser will be teaching in In: dian for two years, the maximum length of time allowed for service in thePeace Corps. His salary for those two years will total $1800. In addition to this sum, he,; will receivean-allowance to cover living expenses. The Peace Corps will accept any qualified-individual over 18years of age. If anyone is accepted- and sent overseas, and if he is married, his spouse must go withhim. She for he) must be qualified for service, also. Like most of the armed forces, the Peace Corpsoperates on a "choose before you serve" basis. Before you begin training you may choose youroccupation and the country in which you want to work. U l T ' IT'S A RAID! tf Even Sehome Not Safe Asiren blaring; a four-passenger sports car packed with five Western students; two Bellingham policemotorcyclists, two police patrol cars; a search; no siren found; one policeman saying "OK, letthem go;" another saying "No, make him walk" — these were some of the facts of an incidentinvolving five Western students and four Bellingham police vehicles last spring quarter thatconverged on the corner of Holly and Garden. A Westernite, junior Chuck Sny-dar, related thedetails of the incident. • • • The incident started when five guys in a four-passenger sports carwent downtown. Upon passing a police motorcycle Snyder called out one of his famous "siren"imitations. The group was stopped by the motorcyclist patrolman and the group was informed thatfive people in a four-passenger vehicle was illegal. The patrolman declared that he would let them off ifthey would go immediately back to the campus and get rid of one fellow. Later at the corner of Gardenand Holly the sports car was halted by two patrol cars and two motorcycles, one being the cycle thathad already stopped the group before. The ear was searched in the trunk, under the hood, and under the seat. No siren was found. An argument ensued between the two policeman. The result—Snyderwalked back to the campus and the sports car, minus one passenger continued. Snyder implied thathe was slightly disgusted with the whole affair, although he recalls "It is quite humorous now." • •• Criticism of the Bellingham Police Department came from senior Dick Hedges. He protested,"The majority of the Bellingham police are looking fpr something to do to keep them busy, butappear blind to more serious law breakers." Hedges cited as an example the continual use of EastMaple Street near a local root beer drive-in restaurant, by a high school group for a "speedway, donut,and squealling area." IT'S A RAID A reinforcement of Hedges' Police On Westernites "We usually hearabout Western's parties after they're over," stated Chief Edward Bartelson of the Bellingham PoliceDepartment. "We have received good student cooperation in keeping student parties down,-' contin-used the Assistant Chief, Cecil Klein. Captain Dehardt Erickson commented on the behavior ofalcoholic offenders. "We only end up with those students unable to take care of themselves, or nottaken care of by their friends." From the chief to the cop on the beat, the Bellingham police force agrees on Western students. Chief Bartelson stated, "We are proud of the students!" "I would like tocongratulate the students on their deportment," emphasized Captain Opie Brock. PatrolmanGlenn Vander-brink continued, "Compared with other college cities, demeanor is good." According topolice spokesmen the main trouble spots for Western students are liquor and speed, but even heretrouble is at a minimum. The speeders are usually new students who race down Indian Street wherethe police are frequently waiting for them. Captain Erickson laughed, "Actually things have been muchbetter in the last few years at Western. We haven't even had any Peeping Toms lately." protest camefrom junior Ray Burke. "When the Bellingham Police Department has nothing better to do than to drivearound looking for potential Peeping Toms then I think their purpose as an efficient and necessarypolice department, which should respect and protect the rights of all Bellingham citizens, has ceased." Burke was referring to a recent incident when he had to plain clothesman that he actually lived in hisapartment, and explain why he was standing in his own yard looking at one of his apartment windowsat 9 pjn. "Is it illegal to stand outside my own window at 9 p.m.?" Burke concluded. PRAISE FOR BPD "Bellingham police are really great. They give college kids a break, the benefit of the doubt. However,one of the local judges isn't consistent in his treatment of college students and young adults," anunidentified Westernite declared. Western student traffic patrolman Larry Harnden said, "TheBellingham Police Department has been giving us good support with traffic after the basketball games."WWSC junior George Toulouse stated satirically, MThey seem to be an efficient organization." • •* Junior Ray Konecke stated, "They seem to be down upon college students. They seem te give olderpeople a break, though," Honors freshman Mike Ness declared," The Bellingham police aremeddlesome in personal affairs." He was referring to ait incident on Sehome Hill where some localteenagers were boisterous. A B e l l i n g h a m policeman according to Ness, went from "car to carasking naive ques* tions^ Anybody could see we weren't yelling and screaming parked on Sehome Hill.Besides,'* Ness concluded, "They don't have jurisdiction on state property* anyway." "HEY, ISN'T THAT the guy month . . . " A policeman's lot is who gave me that ticket last not a happy one—ask anypolice* man. One coed seems to like the cops though. She said: "I ihinjt that Mfcade haired one that has the downtown beat Is really cute!" ---------- Collegian - 1963 February 8 - Page 2 ---------- PAGE TWO THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1963 A small book found in 1801 near the ruinsof Halgaspargov, Russia prove conclusively that the Russians were the first to invent Walt Disney.THE THREE Jolly Coachmen : COFFEE HOUSE ; presents This Friday Night, February 8 'THECLANSMEN' FOLK SINGING TRIO f r om Vancouver, B.

If you're headed for a certain party tomorrow night that just may be the case. It seemsthat a few individuals on campus are tired of dancing to records, so they're bringing in their own band toswing to. A group of left-wing free-thinkers have contracted to bring the Mystics of Seattle to a privateparty. The Mystics, a popular rock-and- roll group in the Northwest, will be playing from 8 p. m. untilmidnight tomorrow night. The band is well known locally, arid ha;s played the Seven Cedars in MountVernon on many occasions. The group has also appeared at Birdland in Seattle and last summerbeat 19 other bands in a battle of the bands in Seattle. Those interested in attending should call RE 3-5977 for further information.

Gallagher, V.P. and Mgr. (3uiq»oi0) Freshman Spirit Putrid Wes Bauer, president of the freshman class, speaking at a rather poorly attended freshmanclass meeting recently, said that the spirit" of the class this year has been "putrid." Of the 1,100students in the freshman class only about 40 of them attended, and in a recent election of the freshmanclass representative only 148 freshmen voted. The senior class has asked the freshmen to handle theirspring activities this year in the hope that it will become traditional here at Western. However, because of the poor attendance at the meeting no decision could be reached on the issue. BOOK FAIRMonday, Feb. 11 through Friday, Feb. 15 8 A. M. - 4:30 P .M.

"The Humanities program and the GeneralScience program are very good," Dean Chatland said, "I find myself in complete agreement with thissort of thing, but I am sure I should be happier if students took more advantage of some of them and ofthe many cultural things on campus. The students could gain more than they now are." The position ofAcademic Dean is a new one. Dean Chatland, in this position, will be principally concerned with affairs of the staff,, the curriculum, and the budget. He will teach an honors colloquium and math class nextquarter i Dean Chatland gave this reason for the creation of the new position: "The school is nowexpanding to the place where Academic Dean or Dean of Instruction became necessary. Thereare enough things going on to make the.coordination of the curricula necessary," he said. DeanChatland has a rich background in academic circles as well as in "private industry. He received hisundergraduate degree at McMasters University in Hamilton, Ontario. He attended the University ofChicago and taught on the staff of Montana State University and Ohio State ' University. He was Dean ofthe ' College and later Dean of Faculty and academic vice president at ;Montana and also served in theelectronic defense laboratory for Sylvania. • I think that what most impresses me is the vitality ofthe college," Dean Chatland said, "and •the enthusiasm pervading the .staff." • - He chuckled:"Students are nice people.

A delegationheaded by College President James L. Jarrett went to Olympia last week to make one final plea for an increase in Governor Rosellini's (Democrat- Wash.) suggested $8.8 million operating budget forWestern. Jarrett's committee ended up cutting $1.4 million from their proposal and asked for aconservative increase of $233,400 to Rosellini's $8.8 million recommendation. The $233,400 did notcover salary increases for faculty members. At this point the buck passing began. Senators Fred Dore (Democrat chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee) and Frank Foley (Democratchairman of the Ways and Means Committee) both suggested that Western up its student fees to payfor the faculty pay raises. Jarrett stated that this increase would work a hardship on students, many ofwhom, he said, "Come from very modest homes." As the minutes wore on it seems that Dr. Jarrett'sattitude toward upping student fees might have taken on a few new twists. In a later statement hedeclined to say whether the College would support an increase in tuition if this were the only way toget more money. "This would be a legislative decision," he said. Tuesday Senator Dore said that anincrease of $20 a year in student fees would add $80;000 to the biennium. With this suggestion, in mindJarret said he was bothered by the principle of raising student tuition to supply monies for somethingthe. students have never had to pay for in the past. Perhaps in a lighter vein, Jarret made this comment:"If fees were raised to pay operating costs, the solution to college budget requests in the future wouldbecome a simple one. If you're going to provide more money you simply raise the fees." Perhaps thiscomment was made in a lighter vein, and perhaps not. We would tend to think not. Student tuition feeslook like they may get a good swift boost in the near future. With all this administrative-legislativewrangling-it seems that the students, the people who will have to dig deep, have been left out of thepicture once again, but after all, what's a college for?—Richard F. Simmons. questions need answersBv Dick Simmons The valiant Collegian has exposed graft, corruption, and crime in student government,but now, student government is exposing itself—necking!I! May we suggest that Gary Gerhard closehis office curtains at night, especially when 200 students are walking by. - Fearless Collegian staffer,Roscoe B. Guano, has just been accepted into Bachelor's Club. Roscoe has promised to maintain thelatest revised standards for the "Red Shirts": 1. 2.0 GPA or below. '' 2. Derby and red sweatshirts at allformal functions. 3. Facility at making idiotic animal noises (moo. smick, baa) at all AS movies. 4. Mustown aerosol shave, or whipped cream can. • • • The book of the quarter selection for spring iscalled the "Lord of the Flies"—a quantitative study of corrupt management practices in the men'sgarment industry. The high attendance at last week's "Sex on Campus" discussion panel provesconclusively that Western students are definitely interested in panel discussions. REWARD President Jarrett has agreed to hold a press conference two weeks from now. Although the conference last Quarter was aborted through lack of attendance, he is going to try again. The coffee shop solons will get another chance to prove that they have the right to question the administration. The conferences have beenpoular for at least three years. It seems that at one time students were interested in finding out what their "custodians" were doing for them. This time there is no excuse for students not to attend as theirpocketbooks will be the issue of the day. President Jarrett and his fellow lobbyists are jockeying forposition on the road to Mount Olympus. Money has to come from someplace to pay for the regulation ofthis institution. Where will that money come from? Governor Rosellini saw that the higher educationallotment was a good nest in which to drop his political bombshell, and it is clear that the Legislatureisn't planning to be much more generous in their action. Will the funds come from your pockets,students? Will the' Legislature decide to raise the tuition at this institution? Almost a decade ago the subject for debate was whether there would be a tuition fee at all. These are questions to ask Dr.Jarrett. He pulls the strings.

It containsmore than the self-incrimination clause. Which part of it does he propose to change? Our right to trial by jury? Our right not to be tried twice for the same "offense? Our right not to be compelled in a criminalcase to be a witness against ourselves, thus making it lawfully necessary for the plaintiff to gatherevidence proving-us guilty? Our right to due process of law? Or our right for just compensation whenour private property is taken for public use? "All" of these things are guaranteed in the FifthAmendment, and all of them are important differences between our laws and those of a totalitarianstate. Mr, Gi.bb$ feels our country can't withstand Communism; that we must impose disability orsubmit to it.: I feel that if we do either, we destroy our way of life. If we exchange freedoms for lawiwhich bring subjugation along with false "security" then we will have no need to withstand Communism — we will be indistinguishable from it. Only our language and two oceans will differentiate us.Besides, Mr. Gibbs, it is interpretation which makes any law what it is. The Weimar constitutionwas praised as the world's most democratic — Hitler never changed a word of it from 1933 to 1945. Iwould shudder for America if your views were represented on a judge's bench. MARY FARRELLDISTRESSED PROFS Editor, The Collegian: We read with distress that we are alleged to "Bring Classto Soc-Anthro," according to a headline in the Collegian of Feb. 1, and find it difficult to discoverjustification for the implication of the remark. If it is meant that we have brought a class of politicalsociology, a class in race relations, a class in sociological theory to the department, this could havebeen evident from perusal of the department's course offerings. But we don't think this was meantbecause some of these classes occurred before we assumed our visiting lectureships. If it is meant we brought "high" class to the department, the only common factor between £arstens, a South African anthropologist, and Tiger, a Canadian sociologist, is their association with "commonwealth"educational systems. Possibly, there is the dreary old implication that anything British-like is good,and that poor Americans cannot possibly be as "classy" as those associated with the Anglo-Philicmystique. In which case, a nation gets the inferiority complex it deserves. If, finally, it is meant webrought "low class to the department, then we are offended, and are prepared to sue the Collegianfor defamation of character.

Travel in Europe. India-China: The Giants RiseBy Doug Moser The India-China border dispute now has a history of several years. The most recentepisode, in which massive Chinese forces launched an attack against India, manifests symptoms otherthan those previously displayed. Until this attack the incidents along the remote border among theHimalayas could be viewed as nothing more than the stirring of Chinese Nationalism. China wasattempting to fill out the traditional borders that had existed prior to European domination in the 19th andearly 20th Centuries. . _ • • • . . The large-scale operations which took place last fall betweenIndian and Chinese troops is symptomatic of another struggle—a power struggle between two awakening giants for; the leadership of the uncommitted, developing nations. Each country is attempting to raise its standard of, living and each has similar problems. China is attempting to reach a solution throughmassive mobilization of human, as well as material, resources in a rigidly controlled government plan.India, on the other hand, proposes to alleviate her economic plight by a combined operation ofgovernment planning arid private" investment; maintaining at the same time, as much'as possible;democratic processes of government. Added to: the power, struggle, then, is a disparity of ideologicalbeliefs. If what is published by the two countries, in terms of economic growth, can be believed, Indiahas made greater progress and will continue to make greater progress provided she is able to maintainher rate of investment...' • - ; • • • The Chinese aggression has, in this writer's opinion,: twoobjectives: First, to show up Indian militarily and to regain, prestige lost in the economic race; andsecond, to force India to invest in a larger military establishment to decrease the funds available forinvestment in capital goods. . ... The efficacy of these objectives is to be seriously .questioned,considering the attitude of those countries which China is hoping to impress. In the first place, the smallcountries are none too secure and tend to frown on aggression because of their recent experiences withimperialism. Secondly, aggressive action directed toward one country by another strikes too close tohome—they could be next. The second objective, depletion of the Indian budget may be serving itspurpose, but it is also having adverse effects on the Chinese budget. And China does not have anextensive source of foreign aid as does India. * • • On the whole, then. China's recent invasion ofIndian territorial integrity has not been as successful- as perhaps the Chinese leaders had hoped.Although the Indians lost the hattle they may have won the "war." There might be some question as towhether it could be called a war and there is some doubt as to whether or not the war is ended. This writer feels that both nations are in favor of a settlement because of the drain on national resources whichcould be put to better use elsewhere. However, this will not be the last clash between the two countries.Indeed, it is probably only one of many which will suddenly explode onto the front pages of the world'snewspapers—each a manifestation of the continuing struggle for power and ideological supremacy.

Lindsay, a professor of physics, introduced in his "Faculty Speaks" address recently. Dr.Lidsay spoke in defense of the sciences, which in his estimation are not stressed nearly enough. "Ithink the introduction of a general science program in the elementary and secondary school systemswould give the students an opportunity to evaluate the importance of the sciences for themselves."Lindsay commented. "Right now, the science program is so limited at this level that students are notable to develop an understanding of the course. "This science deficiency problem is noticed whenstudents are required to take science courses as a part of the general education curriculum in college."Presently here at Western one-third of the students in physical science (General Education 101) have taken high school phys- THE BELLINGHAM: NATIONAL BANK ["Locally Owned and Operated lt;Since 1904" ICORNWALL HOLLY! Drive-In Office at 1605 Cornwall Ave. Member F.D.I.C. ics, andone-third have taken high school chemistry. There are 10 per cent of the students in the program thathave completed both physics and chemistry. However, one-third of the students in the General Ed.101 classes have not been introduced to either of these courses in high school," Lindsey pointed out."This limited enrollment of students in the advanced physics and chemistry programs is caused by alack of stimulation of interest in these courses in pre-college years. There has been one physics majorat Western in the past three years of the program," he commented. Dr. Lindsay explained that manypeople feel there is too much emphasis placed on the science program in the elementary and highschool years, but he felt that figures like these would refute their opinion. Many students feel that thesciences hold very little significance as-a part of their total personality. Science, these people feel,has no value in their future life. "This is an age of science, and the educated man must have a generalknowledge of science to understand the objectives of a scientific society," Dr. Lindsay remarked. "Withthe government spending $25 billion annually on the physical science program, every person shouldhave an understanding of the field in which this money is being spent," he added. "It is important thatstudents know of the basic laws of the universe, for they are present and important to all members ofsociety," said Lindsay. \\ The Scene Around Us: It's A Looney Place, That KPUG" (First In A Series) , The sun is still nestled far beyond the scope of morning..

Bills Due There are currently three bills pending before the State Legislature. Two ofthem concern fees and tuition for state colleges and the third relates the introduction of the mastersprogram into the curriculum. Senate Bill No. 208 is concerned with the levying of fees and tuition inthe state colleges. I_ states that the Board of Trustees in each of the colleges will charge and collectfrom each full-time student a tuition fee of no less than $15 and incidental fees of no less than $50 andno more than $77. The revenue from these fees will be used to finance some of the College's generaloperating expenses. House Bill No. 257 calls for tuition refunds to students that withdraw fromschool within a six-day period following registration. The bill also states that portions of the tuition feescan be refunded on a pro-rated basis in case of withdrawal during any part of the quarter.

It was decidedat that time that the desks were necessary, since the library rwas steadily losing more each'year. rThechecking system has gone a .long way toward alleviating the problem, but William Scott, circulationlibrarian, believes that it; still has its limitations. ]'We can prevent the forgetful student or the naive thief,"he claimed "But if someone really Wants a book there is nothing we can do to prevent it." He cited open stacks and rooms with open windows as factors which make it, very difficult to prevent deliberate thefts. The fault lies with student attitudes, according to reference librarian Herbert Hearsey. "There is afeeling of paternalism toward the state," he said. "They think that what belongs to the state belongs to them. This rationalizes the whole thing." Both Scott and Hearsey agreed that the final solution lies with the student. "The answer is policing on the part of the student," Scott said. "He should maintain his own honesty and integrity and also feel the responsibility to turn in people he knows are guilty."

Seventeen will make the trip on Friday: Dawson, Goodman, Bowman, Lindstedt, .Knowlton, Bartsch, Keplinger, Bruland, Graham, MacPherson, Vanderford, Wilder, Taylor, Ruthruff, Wagner, Beardsley, and Ebeling. It is expected that a few fortunate students will be on hand to support the team. PUNKIN PARTY FRIDAY!'

Fowler, the new chairman of the English department and the chairman of the publications committee, omes to the Bellingham Normal from the Lewiston State Normal school, Lew-iston, Idaho, after fifteen years of active work in that institution. During that time Mr. Fowler served the Lewiston Normal in various important capacities. After graduating from Princeton in 1908, with an A. B. degree, Mr. Fowler became assistant in the English department at Lewiston. Five years later he was made chairman of the department of English and Literature, and succeeded in making it one of the finest departments in the school. For several years he was Dean of Men, and the boys called their dormitory "Fowler Hall" in recognition of his work for the men of the school. Throughout his career, Mr. Fowler has always been an advocate of student activities. Besides acting for one season as manager of the football team, he was responsible* for the establishing of the (Continued on Page Two) H. E.

In recognition of these services the school annual of last year, and the August 9 issue of the school weekly were dedicated to him. Mr. Fowler has been active in affairs not directly concerning the Lewiston Normal. Besides being an active Rotar-ian and a real booster, he has been chairman of several committees of the Idaho State Teacher's association, managing editor of the "Idaho Teacher," one of the first presidents of the Inland Empire Council of Teachers of English. .

Fowler, new instructor in the English department, addressed the student body at assembly Tuesday of this week. Mr. Fowler gave an interesting and inspiring talk on the qualities of a successful teacher. First in importance, according to Mr. Fowier are health, boundless energy, and a strong Christian character. Next in value he placed personality. Every teacher must be sincere, must have confidence in his own ability, and be able to sympathize with and understand those about him. He should at all times show all the marks of good breeding in his consideration for others. A pleasing and forceful voice is also a great asset to a strong personality and should ~be cultivated. Mr. Fowler also listed curiosity about books, people, methods and the world at large, as well as adaptability to the community in which one is teaching, the school, and to the individual pupils therein, as very necessary qualities. B. S.*N. S. The Only One. They sat on the sofa, he and she. The lights were turned low. They gazed into each other's eyes with perfect contentment. He arranged his necktie for the twentieth time and queried, "Do you love me, Maudie V" "Uh-huh, I think so." "I knew you did—I love you too, Maudie—You're the only girl for me." She, hesitatingly: "Did you ever love any other girl?" "No, Maudie—you are the first." "Oh, John. I knew it! I love you more than ever,' She flushed with pleasure, raised her chin, and looked at him through long lashes. He took two cigars from his vest pocket, laid them on the table, and started to take her in his arms. She sobbed, "All men are liars," and left the room.

The girls were warned against the clangers of overloading and were urged not to take more work than they could manage without danger to their health. Miss Jones then told of the organization of a social committee, which is plann:ng frequent social affairs for the entire student body. This committee has arranged for a Tea every month, and for a dance to be given every Friday in the large gymnasium, beginning Friday, November 2. at the four o'clock hour.

Spurts of Sapience. .The man who speaks kindly and reverently about his mother is not a bad man; but the man who speaks unkindly and irreverently about anybody's mother is not a good man. When children yell at their parents or each other, they have been yelled at by their parents and each other. If the smile be constant, it's wearer isn't. No man who hasn't something to conceal ever complains that he is misunderstood. There are two classes of children every mother knows: Model children and her own. No amount of argument or explanation will reconcile sweet milk and vinegar or justify their commingling. The friend to whom you have too often to explain is not a true friend or you yourself are not true. The finest companionship is that to which constant conversation and mutual entertainment are wholly unnecessary. —STRICKLAND GILLJLIAN. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 October 26 - Page 6 ---------- 6 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1923.

It was known that the store was heavily insured so the townspeople were not greatly surprised when they heard that the building had been destroyed by fire.

It isn't fair to carry yesterday's sins over to today and demand a new repentance of them, another immersion in sackcloth and ashes. That makes a child feel that having offended once he has offended for all the time and that there is no use of trying again. "Now be sure that today you come straight home.-' "Yes." "Yes! That's what you said yesterday and what did you r!o? Went over to the ball field and played until dark night. And I told you the last thing to come straight home and you said 'yes' and that's all it amounted to. Never got home until dark night!" Now the youngster had broken bounds the night before and had been soundly berated for doing it. This was another day and he ought to have been a lowed to feel that it was a new day with new opportunities for making good. But no. He is started with the notion that no matter how good his intentions, no matter how strong his promises, he is going to go wrong again. Yesterday's offence is given new life and strength for today's mistake. When I was a boy in the public schools we used to have slates. They had bright red flannel bin.lings and laced with cord and boaste a rubber knob at each corner if they were very stylish. I had trouble with long division. I'd make a mistake over and over and smear my slate until it was a gray miss. Still I couldn't get the right answer and at last the teacher would say: "Let's take a new slate. A brand, speedy, new one from the closet. Now we'll have a new pencil.out of the box. I'll write it dovn for you. There now! It'll come riyht now. See if it doesn't!" Of course it came right. The shinny new slate; the teacher's smile, and, the fresh start cleared my brain and the answer came every time. Don't ho'd post mortems. Let the dead lie. When a child makes a mistake take down a new slate for him. Change his suit. Put on a new tie. Give h"m his breakfast on the porch. Change his seat in the class-room. Do something that will symbolize the new slate, and it will work where the carping, harping, day-before-yesterday recitil will work disasters. The old teacher I spoke of had this sentence written on the board very often: "Every day is a fresh beginning: e.ery hour is the world made new." B. S. N. S.

Klickitat county derived its name from a tribe of Indians that occupied the country before the advent of the white man. Their home at one time was near the western slope of the Rocky mountains, but they were driven westward by the Cayuses, a war-like Indian tribe.

No other country in the world grows roses to such perfection as in Persia, and in no other country is it prized so highly as it is by the natives. Angora is no longer famous solely for its cats and goats. It has a greater world-wide significance today, that of being the capital of the reconstructed Turkish government and the seat therefor of the most picturesque of all contemporary experiments in democracy. Sleepy Hollow church, made famous by Washington Irving, recently celebrated its 225th anniversary. The old edifice is just as it was when Ichabod Crane sang in the choir and it is still used for worship on Sunday afternoons during the summer.

As long as this column is headed "Student Opinions" we are allowed to have more than one aren't we? I have two opinions on two everyday occurences in our school, which, to say the least are not very complimentary to those concerned. Why is it, when there is so much room at their disposal, that the circulation department of the Messenger pile the papers in one heap in a corner of the landing and leave them to their fate? Or, perhaps, to the fate of the students? The battling mob which surrounds the corner every Friday noon should be an eye sore to any respectable instution of higher learning. What about it? Can't we have the distributing center spread over more surface and perhaps elevated a little out of the reach of human feet? Another thing. It's all right to be anxious to get to class but why not wait a minute after the first bell and give the poor sufferers on the other side of the door a chance to get out, before you go in ? Don't you know it stands to reason that they are much more anxious to leave than you could be to get in? Also it might happen that some poor pedestrian might wish to continue down the hall through the mob in the corridors around said doors. To say the least he must take his life in his hands, and if by any chance he happens to be in a hurry, it is advised by one who knows, to detour around the building and come in the other way. It is safer, and much more quickly done. What is the matter with our Board of Control? Let's get up-to-date and have a traffic squad! Yours for co-operation, —I. Emma Krab. ShraUtittg ripral -B. S.

I'm waiting to put out the lights and lock the hall." Remarks From Great Men. A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck. Silence is less injurious than a weak reply. When men are most sure and arrogant they commonly are the most mistaken. Live for something, have a purpose, and that purpose keep in view. He who reigns within himself, and rules passion, desires and feai-s, is more than a king. The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself. Politeness goes far and costs nothing. Sees thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings. Success is the result of mental attitude, and the right mental attitude will bring you success in everything you undertake.

B. S. N. S. FISHES.IN FAVOR OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Declaring himself in favor of junior high schools, C. H. Fisher, president of the Bellingham Normal, addressed fifteen members of the Superintendents' Supervisors' and Principals' League of the city, at the Pheasant Tea rooms yesterday evening. "Many originally called junior high schools were wrongly named," President Fisher said. He pointed out advantages to be gained by a proper organization of this kind, including the matter of discipline, courses of study, etc.. "The junior high school studies should be less technical than the senior high courses and in this way would be more interesting to the students," the speaker said. "Subjects that I believe should be taught in a junior high school are academic, industrial arts and commercial work, rather for vocational guidance than to train for a special trade or life work." President Fisher declared in conclusion that the junior high school should have an enriched curriculum with a different attack and teach citizenship to the growing boys and girls. B. S. N".

CITY TEACHERS NOT LIKELY TO ASK FOR INCREASE IN SALARIES No attempt will be made this year by members of the City Teachers' league to secure a raise in salaries, according to the sentiment of that organization expressed by President W. J. Rice in an vaddress yesterday afternoon at Whatcom high school. About 175 educators, members of the league, were present. Outstanding features of the meeting included the re-election of Mr. Rice as president, the election of Miss Resmeyer, an instructor at Whatcom high school, as secretary and an address by D. E Wiedman, supernitendent of city schools, on the proposed junior high schools plan. Presiding at the meeting, Mr. Rice first reported on the past year's accomplishments of the League. He told of the organization's participation in the 30-10 campaign, the social activities of the League, the salary campaign which brought about an adjustment in wages for the teachers and the work accomplished in the matter of the Japanese relief fund. •'Owing to the fact that the school board acted as generously as the circumstances seemed to warrant last spring, the matter of increased salaries this year will not be taken up by the League," Mr. Rice said. "The League will co-operate with the board in its endeavors to relieve the present congested condition at the various schools and help in every way possible to further the board's po-posed building progam." Superintendent Wiedman addressed the meeting regarding ihe board's proposed building program. "The junior high school idea is new in the West," the superintendent said, "but is not in the East. The junior and senior high school plan generally results from the necessity caused by crowded conditions similar to those faced in Bellingham." Superintendent Wiedman told of the $2,500,000 voted at Tacoma last spring to build seven junior high schools. "Discipline problems can better be handled in junior high schools," he continued. "This is accomplished because children of equal development are thrown together in the junior buildings." The sentiment expressed by the teachers present at the meeting appeared to unanimously support the proposed junior and senior high school plan now being considered by the board of education. Alumni Nat\e*Bs 1 One of the features of the W. E. A. meeting at Seattle this week is a banquet which is to be served to the Alumni of the B. S. N. S. on Thursday evening, October 25. W. T.

Organized only a year ago, the Normal has become known throughout the state for its musical powers. The State Music Teacher's convention held in Bellingham, June, 1923, gave the Quartet an able chance to prove its worth. They have the distinction of being the first musical club to place music on the same basis as other school activities, in recognition of which President Waldo presented them with the official student body letter in the form of a gold "W." The quartet's first rehearsal was Monday afternoon and after working with them, Miss Belton promised splendid results. The following girls have been selected for the Normal Quartet: Edna Griffin Marian Warner Florence Lucas Pauline Lindsley All of them are also members of the Clef club.

The new plan for handling absences and excuses went into effect on Monday, October 15th. Daily reports of absences are made by each member of the faculty, and these reports are turned into the office, compiled alphabetically, and handed to the committee at the close of each day. ••.••.• All excuses should be turned in immediately after students return. . They may fill out the blanks provided in the Dean's office and leave them in the file. The committee meets on Tuesdays at two o'clock and passes upon all excuses handed in to date. It is made up of a chairman, Adele M. Jones, and N. W. Heckman, May Meade, Grace Headrick, W. J. Marquis. The report of unexcused absences is sent to the office of the registrar, where they are checked against the student; a copy of this report is also posted on the bulletin board, and in case any student feels that his excuse should have been accepted, he is at liberty to report to the committee at the hours stated above. B. S. N. S. LIBRARY. The Bellingham State Normal school library is very well equipped. The periodical room in the rear of the main library contains bound volumes some of which bear the date of 1832. The magazines of recent date ai-e filed away on the shelves. There is no dearth of reading matter. Besides the daily papers, there are weekly magazines, and journals on practically all lines of professions. Among them are the Washington Educational Journal, published in our state, and other educational journals published in various parts of the country. There are two directories at the entrance giving a list of all the current periodicals. There are between forty and fifty monthly and weekly magazines, journals on geography, forestry, music, art, nature study, sociology, economics and many other subjects. Some of the leading educators contribute articles to these magazines. By making good use of the library students can get acquainted with the best periodicals for teachers and homes. The Junior library is located on the third floor of the Training school. This library contains 300 volumes. Teachers write to the librarian for advice as to the selection of books for a school library. During the quarter or the year, students have the opportunity to study the books and the arrangement of junior literature upon the shelves. During the course in library methods children are brought up to the library and are taught to select references. This library is managed by five students who devote some time to this work each day. Hence this library is for the students as well as the children in the training schools. Miss Catherine Montgomery, of the faculty, has received a letter from Miss Faye Bruneau, an Alumna of the Normal school, who is teaching at Iquique, Chile. She gives an interesting account of her work and of the earthquakes which have occurred recently in the neighborhood of Iquique. Some extracts from her letter follow: "Before I forget I should tell you about how the Chilian earthquakes affected us here. About six months ago there were several earthquakes south of here, especially violent in a town called Copiapo. We felt a couple of slight tremblings and nothing more. There were also disturbances at sea, which made the water come inland a way in some places south of here (Auto fagasta and Coquimbo). Here the sea was very high and rough and folks were afraid it was coming in here, too. In 1868 this city was completely destroyed in that way. One night, (Nov. 15) someone brought word to the mayor that a telegram from Valparaiso had come saying that there had been an earthquake at sea and tht the sea was going out and would come back in and cover Iquique in a few hours. The mayor had the police force notify everyone in town about 11:30 p. m. We all got up, dressed and prepared small packages to carry off with us to the mountainside, where we were going to run as soon as the sea started to go out. We waited until 4 p. m. and nothing happened. It later developed that the alarm had been false and that no telegram had been received. Many houses, left deserted by people who ran to the mountain were robbed and it is thought that perhaps the alarm was given by persons who wanted to do thife very thing. i "There have been many earthquakes since, but we never feel more than a slight shake, as if a heavy auto-truck were passing near the house and making it tremble. The sound also, a low rumble, is like that the wheels of a heavy vehicle would make. "My school work is progressing as well as could be expected, considering, my limitations as a teacher. I seems to have most trouble in the teaching of English reading. First, we review the Winston Primer; then we read part of the Winston I, which is our basal reader. I have just begun the Beacon First eRad-er. I have two divisions; one which was here in kindegarten last year and one composed of children who know no English and who are too large for kindegarten. I took this last group through the Winston Primer and have just begun the Winston I with them. I am more satisfied with what they have accomplished than with the work of the first division. It is hard to have to write all words for drill review and new words on the board; then erase them and write them again the next day. Another thing—when the pupils try to tell a story they try to tell it word for word according to the book." —B. S. N. S. Recipe for Flunks.

Veto Franchise By MIKE WILLIAMS Collegian Managing Editor - A S Pr ^ d e ^ R a ^ M n - r o exercised for t h e first time Monday his constitutional power to veto, w h enhe r e t u r n e d to t h e Legislat u r e a bill t h e y h a d passed d u r i n g t h e l a s t session, wint e r q u a r t e r. THE BILL, sponsored by Orest Kruhlak, then the temporay Executive Vice-President,proposed to abolish all on campus preference polls before student elections. It was passed by a two-thirds vote of the legislators. At that time Munro told the Collegian he thought the measure was "sourgrapes" as several of the isolons voted in favor of the bill supported a presidential candidate who wonin the nominating convention but lost the Helmsman poll and the election. However, the bill is not deadyet. Program' Vice-President Tony Tinsley questioned the constitutional legality of the presidentvetoing a bill passed in one session and returning it to the board in a subsequent session. TINSLEYPOINTED out that foiir members'of last term's Legislature (three who voted in favor of the bill) are nolonger on it. The solons voted to refer the problem to the Judiciary Committee (a campus SupremeCourt) for a.decision. Chief Justice of the Court is Joel Lamphear. The two other justices are Jim Thorns-bury and Ron Hendricks. If the veto is allowed, the Legislature may still overrule it by a two thirdsmajority when the bill is returned to them. In other Legislative action Legislator Clark Drummond won a partial victory when his motion to suspend the rules of the Legislature to allow the AMS-AWS See'VETO' Page 2 on campus, hanging onto protest - petitions signed by over 3,000 of Western's 4,100students, are optimistic tor day and many feel the bill will be killed in the House. v AS President RalphMunro will rush the petitions directly to Governor Daniel J. Evans in jthe event the bill .passes, in thehopes that2 he will veto the measure. Munro and. Executive Vice President Dean Foster garnered thesignatures after they learned that Senate Bill 552 proposed by State Senator Foley would raise sharply"Western's tuition. ' FOLEY'S BILL would boost instate tuition to $88 per quarter for an increase of 14per cent and out-of-state tuition to $157 per quarter, or a $47 increase. • The vast majority of thestudents, including the Bellingham Herald, feel that the suggested tuition increase would be aserious burden for many students. Munro drove to Olympia Monday morning to show the petit-tions to several state representatives, but did not leave them. He also sought support from the Universityof Washington and a campus refrom group took heed and circulated petitions. "I strongly feel that thisbill would force, many students attending Western now to drop out because of the additionalfinancial burden," Munro said. Assistant to the President, Harold A. Goltz, told the Collegian Editoron assignment in Olympia that 40 per .cent of all students who have dropped from Western recentlyhave attributed financial problems as a contributing factor. THE COUNCIL of Presidents, composed ofthe college presidents in the state, voted earlier this week to request the Legislature not to raisetuitions "more than what would be necessary." The bill is the second piece of legislation this sessionwhich will critically affect Western's operating procedure. Earlier this year, the solons passed formerGovernor Albert Rosellini's budget request for Western's operating capital—a See 'TUITION' Page 12Snow Fun -See p 8-9 ---------- Collegian - 1965 April 9 - Page 2 ---------- PAGE TWO THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1965 NSA Confab Here "Campus opposition to NSA"will be the theme of t h e National Students Association spring regional conference which will be heldMay 7-12 here at Western. Opposition and criticism of NSA will be discussed as representatives fromthe 12 member schools of the Great Northwest Region of NSA confer to examine all reasons for theexistence of the national organization. "We are hoping to give the subject a positive emphasis," ASExecutive Vice President Dean Foster told the University of Washington newspaper, The Daily."We shall provide a format against which both NSA benefits and the issues leading to anti- NSA opinioncan be critically evaluated," he added. FOSTER EXPLAINED that one criticism of the NSA is that it,rather than concentrating on students in the college, has urged students to get involved withactivities outside the academic world. The conference will also entail a detailed discussion of the new charter of the International Students' Congress, of which NSA is a member. This will include adiscussion of the conflict between the ISC and the pro-communist International Union of Students,according to Foster. "Practically all countries with universities," Foster continued, "have formedunions which align with one of these two international unions. "The Communist Party gives directsupport to the IUS whereas the free countries haven't adequately financed the ISC. However, theNSA has played a big part in holding the organization together." A special session will concern studentmovements in Latin America, the Far East, Africa and Asia. This will involve a discussion of the NSA's role in international student movements. The pros and cons of the NSA's international significancecover one of the most important issues of NSA and yet this is one area on which student governmentshave the least information, Foster explained. The conference discussion is designed to correct this tosome extent. THE ROLE of NSA in academic affairs will be discussed when the leader of studentjprotest movements, the Campus Reform Movement, discusses the recent student activity at Berkeleyand the increasing student opposition toward administrative dictatorship of the University ofWashington. Although there is no such problem at Western, the topic is-of vital concern to the NSA, Foster explained. Service Fraternity Has Ambitious Plans For Spring Alpha Phi Omega, West ern'smale service fraternity, is in full swing with spring quarter, according to APO President DonGullickson. One service project is already under way and others are forthcoming, Gullickson saidlast week. VETO' (Continued from page 1) presidents-elect full speaking privileges on the Board waspassed. Minutes, before, ..Drummond's motion for the AMS-AWS presidents- elect to take non-voting seats on the board was defeated. As it now stands the two presidents- elect, Neal Suckerman andSherry Seibold, have full speaking privileges but must sit on the sideline galleries. THE BOARDappointed James Hampson, senior Political Science major, to fill Orest Kruhlak's chair on theLegislature. Kruhlak graduated winter quarter. Also appointed were the 1965 Homecoming Co-chairmen,Dick Marshall and Beverly Smith. Two resolutions were dealt with Monday.

It was passed unanimously by the board that the.Associated Student request the statelegislature not to levy additional fees upon the students at Western, Eastern and Central WashingtonState Colleges.

Phyllis Carr read a resolution WesternReceives$5,600 Grant Western's Speech Department has received a Health, Education and Welfare Grant of$5,600 for the education of a graduate student as a speech or hearing therapist, announced Dr.Sene Carlile, SpeechDepartment Chairman. The grant is part of the federal program started last year to encourage graduates to pursue a masters degree in the field of therapy. Western's grant of $11,600 last year was received by David Spaulding and Kathy Andreas. Dr. Carlile explained that the grants aremuch harder to obtain this year than last.

Miss Ayers is a blind student at Western. Gullickson said that APO hopes to sponsor a fishing derby for thehandicapped children of Whatcom County and they also plan on helping at work parties to clean upsome of the Boy Scout camps in the state. Since APO was organized at Western fall quarter it hasbeen involved in many projects. "We have carried out more service projects than any national chapterin Washington," Gullickson claimed. The local chapter has not yet received a national charter.National chapters are located at the University of Washington, Pacific Lutheran University, SeattleUniversity and several other schools throughout the state. APO SPONSORED an entry in theHomecoming Parade fall term and sponsored the Ugly Man Contest in conjunction with World UniversityService Week winter quarter. The night before the November elections the members conducted adoor-to-door campaign with Sigma Tau Alpha, Rainbow Girls Honorary, to urge people to vote. There are 17 members in the Western chapter, accdrding to Gullickson. He hopes to reach the quota of 25 thisquarter so the chapter will become eligible for a national .charter. To join, an applicant must be a malestudent at Western with a 2.0 GPA. They should have had some experience in the InternationalScouting Movement. However, Gullickson said that this is not a necessity as an applicant can join the Scouting movement by paying an extra dollar. The membership fee is $14. We've got it!

Education becomes semi-private, notpublic when students are denied entrance to state colleges for lack of money. If the State Legislaturepasses Senate Bill 552, then Washington will be .well on the road to just such a system for highereducation. Forty per cent of those students who have dropped out of Western recently indicated thatlack of sufficient funds was a contributing factor. This is significant enough to assume that it isexpensive enough already to obtain a state college education. If SB 552 gets the nod, conditions will begrossly worse than what prevails. In-state students will be forking over $88 instead of $77 and worse yet,out-of- state students will have to dig down for $157 per quarter instead of $100. It seems safe enough to say that some students will not be able to raise the dough. State education, along with statehighways, mental institutions, and the like are supposed to be supported by the new collegian Today'sCollegian is the product of a new editor and a relatively green staff •—but it represents a new trend.We are put to improve it in every way; better photos, more coverage.

With .. thank you, mr.farmer When a Negro mounts the stage these days it most likely ain't to warble a few strains of SwaneeRiver to the rhythmic plinking of a banjo—the man wears a conservative suit and his talk can be put tomusic as "We Shall Overcome." Such a Negro visited Western's campus last weekend and theseveral hundred students and townspeople who pried themselves from their boobtubes Saturday nightto listen gave the man two standing ovations. For James Farmer, national director of the Congress ofRacial Equality (CORE), delivered what could only have been the most convincing argument on behalf ofthe current Civil Rights Revolution we have ever heard. Farmer is a rotund man, polished in speakingability, personable enough offstage. He is slimmer now than he used to be after taking the advice ofsome policemen who had to drag him and several hundred other demonstrators from the New York CityPavilion at the World's Fair this winter. He is a Negro who represents the kind of black man who is notgoing to say "yes suh" in the face of discrimination any more. His people are through acceptingmotions to sit in the back of the bus, they will ride in front like any-white man or sit down, stand in,march, boycott, or picket in protest. James Farmer deserves to be called mister. He is no stranger tothe terror of the American segregationist. Like the other Civil Right leader Martin Luther King Jr., Farmerdoes not stand back and tell or dictate what should fee the citizen's tax dollar. If this state had anadequate tax structure, SB 552 would have never been mentioned. We are sure that students at the state colleges would be willing to pay higher taxes now and in the future to support their education and theirson's and daughter's as well. It doesn't seem intelligent to ask young men and women to fork over moremoney at an age when they are having financial difficulties to begin with. AS President Ralph Munro,Executive Vice-President Dean Foster and the thousands of Westernites who signed those protestpetitions are to be congratulated for their perserverance. It seems hard to believe, but opposition toSenator Frank Foley's tuition bill is not a major topic of the day at the other two state colleges. Munro's"letters to legislators" idea might get the necessary result needed to show the solons in Olympia thatstudents at Western do come from nearly every county in the state and that they sincerely feel thatthe raise in tuition would be a difficult hardship. We urge you to get one of these cards and fill it out. The tuition raise proposal is a sham. It is an insult to higher education and it must be defeated. If it is allowed to pass, the precedent will be set arid the sky will be the limit for future Legislatures.— Stolpe. yourinterest, criticism and comment it will be a student newspaper worthy of your money.

He was once the object of a vastmanhunt in Louisiana in 1960 when state troopers with taped-over badges and nameplates combed thecountryside and openly confided, "If we find the nigger, we'll lynch him." Farmer, along with 200 otherNegrbs, sought refuge in a funeral home -where the troopers threatened to barge in if the group didn'tproduce Farmer. Using two funeral coaches, in true mid-twenties style, Farmer made a hasty get-a-~way. The first car was sent darting from the funeral parlor with a decoy. When the troopers roared after it,Farmer took off into the dark in the second car. The troopers didn't even have a warrant for his arrest.1 This doesn't sound like the America we know or would be proud of telling about abroad. Yet this isgoing on right now in Dixie where bombings, burnings, murders and terrorizing by the Ku KluxKlansmen is an everynight affair. Like James Farmer told his audience: "The thin line of neutrality is fastdiminishing." People are taking sides . . . one cannot be neutral in such a time. And how can one turn his face the other way when one-tenth. of his nation's, people, his neighbors, his fellow Americans are being discriminated against? President Kennedy favored this quote and we pass i t on to you: "Thehottest place in hell is reserved for those who in times of moral crisis retain their neutrality!" Thank you,Mr. Farmer for your visit to our campus. .—John R. Stolpe.

Students — won't you please keep your hondas on the roads? Western's hockey field last fall was in excellentcondition thanks to the meticulous care of Mr. Jordan and his groundsmen. Western's hockey team, too, was the best ever. A summer hockey workshop has been scheduled for students and teachers in theNorthwest. Tremendous interest has been evidenced and special arrangements have been made tobring an English hockey coach to our campus. This spring Western's girls will be playing lacrosse forthe first time. A good field is a prerequisite to a good program. Who wants to run up and down hillstrying to hit a hockey ball; who wants to watch their footing when leaping for a lacrosse ball? Rugby hasalready caused considerable damage to the field. Let's not make it worse, unnecessarily, Withhondas.

KEN RIDDELL ASExecutive Vice Presidentelect QUESTIONS RIDDELL Editor, The Collegian: Last quarter the studentsof Western were subjected to the in-decisiveness of our student legislature with the many hiring andfirings of Miller and Riddell. The very controversial NSA coordinator, who was denounced for hisirresponsibility and incompetence, has once again exhibited his lack of regard for student government. Italso seems Mr, Riddell has little or no regard for the Western student body today. While defending his position as NSA co-ordina-tor, he caused considerable unrest in our student government. This quarterhe has dropped NSA completely, i would like to ask Mr. Riddell: "Was it worth it?". After conductingone of the most questionable campaigns Western has seen for many years, he won the vice presidency, undoubtedly realizing that he would not have the time to devote to the training required for this office. Ordoesn't Mr. Riddell need any more background in this field. I think it is very important that all electedofficers undergo the necessary orientation to their duties, and I would think Mr. Riddell would beparticularly interested in spring training period in order' to erase the label of "incompetent" and"irresponsible" that was suggested Winter quarter. The main purpose of haying ASB elections winterquarter is to allow the elected officers time to familiarize and orient themselves to the tasks they willsoon be undertaking.,-;I do not see how Mr. Riddell can'db this very well when he is not even inattendance -at-college' this quarter This lack of concern for the; student body of Western seemsunbecoming to' any student leader. It is unfortunate that the Western voters were not aware of thelack of regard with which Mr. Riddell accepted the office of V.P. when they cast their ballots. I would like a competent, well-informed person representing me in this important office and I do not feel Mr. Riddellcan give this type of leadership without the invaluable training period this spring. It is with this thoughtin mind that I urge the legislature to make provision in the constit-tional- by-laws requiring attendanceduring the in-training peri-cd for the elected officers.

Of course these people have the right to march in protest of something theydislike, but many of these marchers aren't aware of the present situation in Southeast Asia. Thecercumstances that have prevailed in Southeast Asia in the past year are and have been forcing the U.S. to stay in this area. The cause of Freedom and Democracy is at stake and the U. S. is unwantinglybut necessarily committed in this area. It has become necessary that we defend this area at all costs.President Johnson's solution for "defensive retaliation" is a proper step in the right direction, becausewe must repel Communist expansion on all fronts, especially this one: One may conclude thatthe peace of the world is at stake, and it must be defended at whatever costs .that prove necessary. . If these marchers were only aware of the proper- situation, their march would probably be against sucha revolting cause, rather than for. Some people take up the banner of the march, just to be part of the"crowd" and if a large part of the crowd becomes aware of the true crisis, I believe that the rest wouldtoo, unless otherwise already committed. (You have the power of the press and I believe you shoulduse that power to the best advantage.) LYLE WATKINSON U. S.

Our classrooms are overcrowded. The problem is not a shortage of space, butof instructors. ( Free-flowing discussion, the exchange of ideas, is basic to an adequate collegeeducation. When classes expand to 25 or more students discussion becomes stifled, or non-existent. The Humanities program utilizes "discussion groups" which are a mockery to higher education. But it is not a fault of the instructors. The blame lies with the administrators. While the ideal discussiongroup contains ten students, the Humanities groups consist of twenty-five or more students. Discussion in these groups usually degenerates into another forum for the instructors views. Please, Mr.Administrator, if you are unable to provide an effective program, try something else. DAVID A. BOEMODERN WAR— NO MORALS Editor, The Collegian: As members of a college community,interested in the perpetuation of humane values, many of us must be shocked and horrified at whatis happening in Viet Nam. Without, in any sense, excusing the conduct of the soldiers on the other side in this conflict, and their leaders, we must face the fact that our own country, directly or indirectly,has resorted to gas, napalm, and torture. "When two nations are engaged in war the logic of thestruggle usually leads each side to believe that victory must take precedence over everything else. Itwould be hard to find an example in all history of a nation that faced a conflict between its moralprinciples and military victory and deliberately chose to remain true to its moral principles at the priceof military defeat. Virtually everything in Communist conduct that shocks the moral principles ofnon-Communists can be explained in terms that are familiar and even acceptable to most non-Communists when demanded by military necessity in time of international war. The list would includesystematic spying, censorship, assassinations, mass killings, the taking and killing of hostages,imprisonment without trial, the spreading of false propaganda, (whether a class or nation) by anyeffective means, mass starvation, sabotage, bribery, and the use of provocateurs and informers. Weneed to look back no further than World War II and the Korean war to find examples of all these acts'committed at one time or another by both sides —not because either side willfully preferred to engagein such acts but because both sides were forced by the logic of war to choose between engaging inthese acts and risking defeat." (Clarence Pickett, Saturday Review, Sept. 8, 1956). "Nothing is clearerthan a nation that gives its approval to participation in modern war, begins a proceess of progressivemoral deterioration that leads eventually to the sanction of the most dreadful acts of torture anddestruction. Whatever the high moral purposes for which a nation professes to fight, they mustinevitably be degraded and mocked by the inexorable destruction of all moral values that takes placeunder the guise of 'military necessity.' " (Alfred Hassler, "Fellowship," Feb., 1944.) Both of the abovequotations, from students of international affairs, point to the fact that in modern war one renouncesthe moral principle that the means determine the end, and, instead, one accepts the philosophy that the end justifies the means—any means—no matter how incompatible these may be with peace,justice, and brotherhood.

It should be born in mind, however, that those actsof government which have seemed anti- American usually have been equally anti-Russian and anti-Chinese. For instance, the curtailment of aid programs, the nationalization of foreign businessinterests and the closing Of foreign information libraries has affected Communist as well asdemocratic countries. Of still greater significance is the fact that Burma and the United Statescontinue to maintain good diplomatic relations in spite of their differences and there are reasons tohope that these ties will be further strengthened if Burma can be fully convinced that aid and tradewill not be used as a wedge for interference in her domestic affairs. TO UNDERSTAND what ishappening in Burma today calls for isome perspective. One must go back at least to January 4, 1948, when Burma was granted her independence by the British. It seems, in looking back, thatindenpendence became a kind of signal for internal fragmentation. During much of this period there wereas many as seven different kinds of rebel groups fighting against the central government, and on severaloccasions many were predicting the imminent fall of the capital city, Rangoon. ', Burma's number-oneproblem during the past fifteen years has been lack of internal stability. j The former Prime Minister UNu, tried gallantly to hold the country together and hammer out of the many diverse, politicial, religious and ethnic groups a sense of nationhood, but he never really succeeded. In the early months of 1962one of these ethnic groups, the Shans, who live in the northeast section of Burma, threatened to secede from the Union. U Nu had already made many concessions to the Shans as well as to other groups,some of which had strong leftist leanings. Then, in the pre-dawn darknes of March 2,1962, the head ofthe Armed Forces, General Ne Win, led an almost bloodless coup d'etat, taking into custody virtually allof the top government officials. The General is an affable man, 52 years of age, who explains that heand his men rescued the country from the kind of fragmentation that faced the United States in thedays of Abraham Lincoln and that if the Shans had seceded from the Union it would have led tocomplete collapse of the nation. He points further to U Nil's weakness in the face of this threat andinsists that parliamentary democracy failed to unify and develop the country. Of course, the real test how is whether the Ne Win government will be able to succeed where U Nu failed. Winning the support ofBurma's ethnic minorities is not likely to be easy. They are strongly independent and tend to feel thattheir interests are less than safe in the hands of the ruling Burman majority. American friends ofBurma turmoil American students Burma?"

INC Ph. 733-2130 1262 State St., Bellingham cannot help but hopethat conditions will soon be such that the Ne Win government will be able to introduce a greaterdegree of democracy, but it must be remembered that democracy will have to grow in Burmese soil: It cannot be imposed from the outside.. It is also well, in the interest of accuracy, to avoid theAmerican pastime of applying the Communist label to all totalitarian forms of government whichhappen to differ sharply from our own. It would seem that present developments in Burma are bestunderstood, not in terms of a drift, toward Communism, though no one would rule out such apossibility, but in terms of impatience with parliamentary democracy in the race to achieveinternal stability and economic development quickly. Coupled with this is the strong desire to avoiddomination by any outside influence whether it be from the East or the West. In the days ahead theNe Win government is likely to have every opportunity to experiment with its own kind of revolution.Though university students and Buddhist monks have been slow to get in step and insurgent groups likethe Kachin Independence Army continue to occupy large sections of the countryside, there is noevidence of any con-; centration of leadership that of-j fers a serious challenge to the; rulingRevolutionary^StfiicU, j In the meantime A^mcans\ do' well to avoid any "jtneiddhjig''; ini the internalaffairs of:3Jurma; at the same time seeking to strengthen the ties of mutual friendship and assistancewhere-ever possible. After all, it is quite possible that at this stage of Burma's development there maybe no real live option to military rule. It is also likely that a fierce nationalism may be the only effective counter force to Chinese expansionism.

Chuck Messenger hasvaulted over 14 feet several times while Dave Davis and Ed Gehring have both hurled the discus over140 feet. Davis has also put the shot over 48 feet. '.

There will be over 5,000students on campus next fall. "If SB 552 passes;" Munro contested, "the students of this college will be paying more money lor a lower quality education."

After The Collegian headline-makers had fully exploited the water-balloonwars via a two-page feature with convincing photographic evidence, Dean Mac issued his now famousstatement: "Any student found engaging in water fights will be dismissed from College." As expected,the balloons were chucked as quick as possible and the dorm men diverted their efforts to moreworthwhile projects —such as filling the chuckholes in the road to the Sehome Hill viewpoint. THEWATER war was highly organized though. Highland Hall was divided into companies 'toy wings and ageneral with a full staff of officers led the plebicite freshmen to one victory after another.

Unfortunately, the temptation is often overpowering because bynot "taking a chance" the driver must prepare for a long wait until the road is clear. The law holds thedriver responsible if, when making a left turn, he causes an accident. A person making a left turn must yield right of way to all oncoming traffic, says the law. Before you, as a driver, start a turn across thetraffic flow, it is up to you to make certain the move can be made in safety. This law on left turns applies to the driver whether he is turning in an intersection or into a private drive, such as a home driveway or parking lot. The main thing to remember in making turns, whether right or left, is that the law requiresyou to exercise reasonable safety in making the move and that you give the appropriate signal. Theselaws were made to make the road safe for you and your family. (This column is written to inform, notadvise. Facts may change the application of the law.)

When t h e d r i n k was given t o him, he gulped it down, and t h e freedman swore t h a t h e h e a rd t h e d r i n k sizzle as it wentdown t h e horseman's gullet. • In another instance, a Negro man was returning from one of hissociety meetings at night when he was approached by a shrouded horseman who was eight feet tall.The rider offered to shake hands with the Negro, and when he did, the hand that the Negro shook wasthat of a skeleton. THE TWO above incidents are examples of how visits by the Ku Klux Klan wereblown up by the Negroes during the reconstruction period of the South. The Ku Klux Klan was started in 1866 in the small town of Pulaski, Tenn. The first members of the KKK were young men who hadreturned from the war and had a lot of free time on their hands. One night the young men of the townmet in a law office and decided to form a-secret group. They got their name from the Gieek word,Kuklos, meaning a .circle. The word klan followed as natural as dumpty follows humpty. THEYFORMED a secret oath for the initiation in which the only important part was that they were sworn tosecrecy about the operation of the Klan. The secrecy of the'Klari found a great following with otheryoung men in the rural arejs^of the South and many young^frien were forming their own dens. Themembers of the _ Klan found that the superstitious nature of the African slaves of the South led themto have great power over the freedman during the reconstruction period. The Klan used this accidentallyfound power to regulate and repress the lawlessness of the carpetbag rule of the day. In 1867 theKlan held its first convention in Nashville, Tenn. It formed "the Great Invisible Empire of the South."Officers were appointed with such weird titles as: Grand Wizard (president), Grand Dragon (stand head), Grand Titan (county head), and Grand Cyclops (leader of each den). THE OBJECT of the Klan was toprotect the people from indignities and wrongs, to succor the suffering of the Confederate familieswho lost members in the war and to defend the; Constitution of the United States' and all laws passedin accordance with it. They pledged to aid the execution of all the laws of the U. S. Constitution andta protect the people from unlawful seizures by the carpetbag rulers. They also pledged to protect thepeople from trial other than by jury. The Klans then started to do the job to which the members hadpledged themselves at the convention in Nashville. Whenever the freedmen grew unruly, the horsemenappeared by night and rectified the situation. Visits by the hooded riders caused most freedmen toremain in their houses after dark to avoid being confronted by the ghost riders. The Southerners lookedat the Klan as a revolt against the tyrannical rule of the carpetbaggers. They had renounced the rightof secession, so they decided to turn to the secrecy that the KKK provided. Philly Greeks' PartiesCancelled After Stabbings PHILADELPHIA (CPS)—A11 open fraternity parties at Temple Universityhave been cancelled following, the stabbings of three students outside fraternity houses. Thedecision, voted by mem-ers of the Fraternity Presidents Council (FPC), was announced recently by FPC president My-les Rademan and is effective immediately. THE ACTION came in response to threestabbings over a period of several weeks. The first incident took place outside the Alpha Epsilon Pihouse after crashers were ejected from the Fraternity's smoker party. The victim, stabbed in the backwith a broken bottle, was released from the hospital after one week. Police have reported, they haveno leads to whom the assailant was. Early this month a Temple student and a Villanova student were stabbed outside Sigma Pi fraternity in a second outbreak of violence in connection with fraternityparties. In this case, too, the assailants had been ejected from the house for crashing a party. Policehave arrest-ed three suspects in the second stabbing incident. Charges by the FPC werd broughtagainst both houses for "failing to exercise proper con-r trol by permitting a situation to develop whichmade necessary the ejection of some guests." Alpha Epsilon Pi was placed onr social probation for twosemesters and Sigma Pi for one. An editorial in the Temple News, however, charged that "the FPChas not lived up to its responsibility." The editorial noted that regulations forbidding open parties havebeen on the gt; books for some time but have not been enforced. JAMES FARMER, National Directorof CORE, once, chased by the KKK.

By KENNETH GEARY ED.NOTE: This is a new column and a different writer will be asked to fill it weekly. It is bound to becontroversial. You won't like everything you read. The author's comments are his own and do notnecessarily reflect the opinions of this paper, college, students or faculty. (Geary is a student atWestern and served as clerk on the House Committee on Higher Education in Olympia.) Reams of words and hundreds of speeches have been preached to the American people and to the world regarding thestruggle for Civil Rights and the activities of extremist groups opposing the right of Negro citizens toregister and cast their ballots in a free election. It is a remarkable accident of history that the final drive for equality for all American citizens should occur during the administration of a President born and raised in the South. Comments today usually concern the "un-American" activities of the Ku Klux Klan, theWhite Citizens Councils, the American Nazi Party and more recently the John Birch Society. The Rev.Martin Luther King, commenting on the JBS, stated "The Birchers thrive on sneer and smear, on thedissemination of half truths and outright lies. It would be comfortable to dismiss them as the lunaticfringe—which, by and large they are; but some priests and ministers have also shown themselves to beamong them. They are a very dangerous group—and they could become even more dangerous if thepublic doesn't reject the un-American travesty of patriotism that they espouse." MOST AMERICANS findcomfort in the work of Civil Rights workers, be they in Alabama or Mississippi, but the knee jerk liberalsstill have a problem. The House Un-American Activities Committee has had, in the past, a tendency toinvestigate the activities of the left wing while completely ignoring the activities of the right wing. Someliberals are horrified at the request of the President of the United States when he called for an investigation of the Ku Klux Klan and other right wing organizations and individuals. Despite the opinions of theAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) it is quite likely that such an investigation may prove useful inpossible legislation and possibly determining why certain Southerners who are arrested for certaincrimes are never convicted in Southern courts despite the recent pro-Negro attitude of the FBI.PRESIDENT JOHNSON, commenting on the recent death of Mrs. Liuzzo, a white Civil Rights worker,during a voter registration drive in Alabama, said that "she was murdered by the enemies of justice, whofor decades have used the gun, the tar and feathers to terrorize their neighbors." - Commenting further onthe right wing extremists, and specifically the Klan, Johnson concluded by saying, "I know that theirloyalty gt;is not to the United States but to a hooded society of bigots." Draft Not To Be Dumped:McNamara Says No Dice WASHINGTON (CPS)—It now appears unlikely that the draft will bediscontinued anytime in the near future. The recommendation which Secretary of Defense Robert S.McNamara makes in submitting the Defense Department's study to President Johnson in April thismonth is expected to warn that the manpower structure of the armed forces would collapse if the draftwere ended anytime in the immediate future. Although it was never expected that the study of the draftsituation would result in any major changes in.the next two years, it was hoped that such changesmight come within four or five years. Now, it appears only major changes in the international role of the United States or great inCceases in military pay would bring about such changes. The Viet Nam crisishas only served to dramatize the firmly entrenched position of the draft, which has long been used as asignal of national determination in times of crisis.

Freeman Dr. Ronald Moloneynounced at a time when war cording to Congressional sources. But more important than thatconsideration is the Pentagon's fear that ending the draft would make enlistments plunge dangerously. This fear has been supported by enlistment statistics during late 1964 and early 1965. In August,enlistments were nine per cent lower than the year before, they were five and 15 per cent threatens inSoutheast Asia, ac-lower in September and October respectively. This drop in volunteer enlistmentshas necessitated a doubling of draft calls for March, from 3,900 to 7,900. It is assumed that anychanges would have to be accompanied by a massive increase in military pay, especially to servicemenin their first two years. The Administration has given no indication that it is preparing plans for sucha pay increase. AS Budget Could Meet Trouble With Western's budget being cut by over a milliondollars for next year, student officers are wondering what will happen to the Associated Students budget. It is speculated that the budget may exceed $100,000 as opposed to this year's $91,000. Theadministration budget committee decides how much money they will return to the AssociatedStudents after they analyze the proposed student budget and how much they can afford. The Klipsunbudget for next year will exceed $17,000 alone if the budget committee for the students— which metlast night—decided in favor.

Most likely he will look for a rescue mission for he knowshe will not be turned away. The Lighthouse Mission at 500-504 W. Holly St. in Bellingham has been ahaven for thousands of such men since 1954. . SOME MEN stay only for a few days and thencontinue their wandering, especially if they have made a few dollars. Others want to strike roots andmake the Mission their permanent home. These men often become staff members, cooks, repairmen,printers, laundrymen. For Mike Hilty, superintendent of the Mission, each day offers numerousopportunities to chat with the men and, with compassion and understanding, try to straighten out theirlives. In a recent interview, Hilty said the Mission's aim was to A printing shop in the base-,sheets andpillowcases, and gen-ment is a great boon to the Mis- erally keeping things in order, sion, and turns outall their busi- An assistant does the sweeping, ness forms, brochures, and mopping and other duties.MANUEL MA TIN rehabilitate the men, ifi$tfssibTg£ and to "proclaim to them the Gospel of JesusChrist.'V ^ ^ a c knowledged that the majority don't stay long enough for him to establish a lastingrelationship, but then1 pointed to a sheaf of letters on his desk, all from men who- have been helped at the Mission, and are now happy in their hew life. HILTY, WHO has been pastor of Mennonite churchesin Win-ton, Calif., and Lynden, Wash., glowed with enthusiasm as he talked about the work of theMission. He told of a man who had slept under his uncle's porch before coming to the Mission. A-nother man, he said, had been an alcoholic, T. B. patient, and walked with a steel pin in his leg. Thisman has been cured and is now on the staff. HILTY SAID that in an average month 40 new men cometo the Mission, over 3,000 free meals are served, free clothing is distributed to about 450 people, andapproximately 90 families are helped with food, clothing and furniture. He said he couldn't carry onwithout donations from businessmen, churches, schools, and other organizations. While he was talking, a man came into the office and told Hilty he would have to go to the hospital for an ulcer operation.Hilty wished him good luck, assured him that he would visit him soon. "These men need someonewho cares for them," he said. "Many of- them'come to me just for a word of encouragement or advice. Some have told me that no one had ever been concerned about them until they came to the LighthouseMission." Other men came to ask advice, to report various matters, one to borrow money. Theadmiration and affection they had for this heavy-set, energetic man was readily evident. HILTYTALKED EXCITEDLY of instances which he called the "romance, the driving force" of his vocation. "Wehad a cook here for two years," he said, "a onan named James Platts, in his sixties. One day heshowed me a letter from his family in Michigan, begging him to come home or at least write. Can youbelieve hT he was so attached to the Mission that I had to coax him to go to his family, which had beenwithout word of him for 17 years. He actually asked me for permission to leave, then promised hewould be back soon after seeing his family. I'm so happy he stayed with his family though— this iswhat we are always hoping will happen." HILTY BEAD a letter from an Indian in Vancouver, B. C, who thanked him warmly for his personal interest and promised to visit the Mission gt;M§jm. "I'm so farbehind in. my letter writing I could'use another secretary to do all my correspondence,^ -HHty - said; .'*AImost every" day I get letters from all over the country- Today in fact, I got two letters from Australia." In addition to the superintendent and his wife, the staff at the Mission includes a dispatcher, two or three cooks, mechanic, repairman, dormitory supervisor, three store clerks, secretary, -printer,'lauifdryman, and several handymen. Most of these positions are 'filled "by men undergoing"rehabilitation. When a Vacancy-occurs, another man is found to take over. ' HILTY SHOWED methrough the two large buildings stocked, with books, clothing, furniture, dishes, appliances, shoes,antiques. Revenue from the sale of these goods helps supplement the donations, but he said theMission is badly in need of financial backing. tracts. One of the Mission's three buildings houses akitchen, recently remodelled chapel, and dormitory. During the day, most of the men work on spotjobs, such as gardening, digging and construction. After work, they usually watch TV or just relax.Every evening they attend a service in the chapel. Churches of various denominations presentprograms of song, testimonies, and Gospel preaching. Smoking or drinking is not One of the Mission's veterans, Ed Dionne, who Hilty calls "my right hand man," is the dispatcher, stand-by cobk andassistant to the superintendent. He dispatches the Mission's three trucks to various parts of RAYCAPES, truck driver from Arkansas allowed in the dorm, and the lights are out at 10:30. The capacity of the dormitory is 32 men. There are 13 double bunks and six sofas; -'". "In winter though, especiallywhen it's cold, we have more men than beds and must lay mattresses on the floor," the dorm supervisorsaid.

The trucks also haul bales of cardboard to the pulpmill, where it is used to make heavy wrapping paper. Dionne recalled the day six years ago when hehopped off a freight from Wenatchee and got a bed for the night at the Mission. "I had a good night'ssleep for a change," he said. "The next morning I cooked breakfast for the others." BEFORE COMINGto Belling-ham, Dionne had worked at "'most any kind of job" and was an experienced cook. "I take over whenever one the cooks get the urge to leave," he said. An easy-going, loquacious man, Dionnerambled on for awhile about the men he sees come and go at the mission. "Most of them are restlessand don't want to be tied down. I'd si\y tbou.t two men come or gG every c'ay, many of them withoutsaying a thing. Two days ago five men arrived and seven left. Since this is about the end of the line,most of them head for Everett, Seattle and points south. I figured out awhile back that the average stayis about three weeks." He rifled through the files on the men who had arrived in March. They had driftedinto the Lighthouse Mission from Various parts of the continent—Oregon, California, Idaho, Colorado,Alberta, Alaska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Arkansas, and of course,Washington, though only a few were from Bellihgham. Dionne said only rarely did a man stay for aslong as a year. He himself is a remarkable exception, for he plans t© stay on at the Mission as longas there its work to do. Ed Dionne should be at Bel!- ingham's Lighthouse Mission for sometime. Menwith grave needs will continue to find their way to 504 W. Holly St. And they will be helped, and given achance to regain respectability, for superintendent Mike Hilty's admission requirements are notstringent. "We bar none," he said.

At a cost of $270,000, the roadwould be a southern approach t© the College, Kink said. The city of Bellingham would maintain it as astreet after construction. "We're not positive, but the chairman of the committee indicated it would beincluded in the highway omnibus bill," Kink told the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce legislativecommittee.

Tennis Team Wins, LosesWestern's tennis team defeated St. Martin's 6-1 Tuesday after splitting a weekend pair with theUniversity of British Columbia, losing 5-2 Friday and winning 3-0 Saturday. The Vikings were hamperedFriday by their inexperience on an indoor court, but showed well, nevertheless. Freshman John Leightonwon his first collegiate match at the No. 5 singles position. Terry Cooney and Mark Pearlman scoredanother point as they outlasted their opponents in a grueling three set doubles match. In an abbreviatedreturn match, the Vikings swept the three-match encounter on the Western home courts. Denny Lewisand Terry Cooney, playing No's 1 and 2 respectively for Western, scored singles victories, while MarkPearlman and Rich McKay won their doubles match. Denny Lewis, senior from Bell-ingham, led theVikings to their easy win Tuesday with 6-0 and 6-3 scores. Terry Cooney, junior from Seattle, won his match handily, 6-1 and 6-0, while Mark Pearlman, sophomore from Seattle, had a 6-2 and 6-3 edge onhis opponent. In other singles matches, Rich McKay dropped a tough three-set decision, and JohnLeighton chalked up his second win, 6-1 and 6-3. Tuesday the Vikings had too much finesse for St.Martin's -in the doubles as they scored two convincing wins. Thus tomorrow Western faces CentralWashington State College in the Conference opener. Both teams should be strong .contenders forConference honors. .The Vikings boast four returning lettermen among their five top players withDenny Lewis topping the ladder for the third straight year. Three-year letter-man Terry Cooney holdsdown the No. 2 position. Sophomore lettermen Mark Pearlman and Rich McKay fill the No. 3 and 4spots. John Leighton, freshman from Lynnwood, rounds out the top five. Team morale is high and theyare determined to win the championship for first-year-coach Don Wiseman. After tomorrow's homematch against Central, the Vikings will meet Seattle University, April 14 and UPS on the 17th, bothaway matches.

I made the final turn and I said to myself, 'You'd better get going,' so I gotgoing, and when I stood up and wiped my eyes I saw t w o guys finish behind me. I guess I won." Thosewere the proud and hap py words of Western's Dave Emery who recently placed first in the 100 yardButterfly in the National Small College Swimming and Diving Championships, held in La Crosse, Wise.,March 15-17. He also took sixth in the nation in the 200 yard Butterfly. Emery's record here atWestern reads like a true champion as he has won the Evergreen Conference Butterfly four years in a row, setting a new record each time. He has placed in at least one or two other events in the conference besides the 100 yard Butterfly. The second year Emery swam for Western he was chosen Captainand most valuable swimmer on the team. He received the same honor his third year and most likelywill be chosen again this year. EMERY BEGAN his swimming career in high school in Tacoma atLincoln. As. a young sophomore he began swimming the freestyle under the coaching of Dick Hannula (now coach of state champion, Wilson High School of Tacoma) and Bob Nichols. During his junior year he switched to the butterfly and has stayed with it ever since. In his senior, year Emery took forth inthe state championships in the butterfly. That year he was named the captain and most inspirationalswimmer on his team. After graduating from high school, Emery shopped around for a school for almost two years and finally settled on Western. His first year here at Western the speedy Viking went back to the nationals in Detroit and placed sixth in the 100 yard Butterfly. The next year Emery went backto Oklahoma and placed fifth. Last year he followed the trend and placed fourth in St. Paul. EMERYCREDITS his success this year to hard work with Coach Don Wiseman previous to the trip back, andearly training before the start cf the season. The work obviously paid off as he came within one-tenth of a second of breaking the national record. Dave and his wife Darlene plan to make their home in Tacoma, where Emery will coach high school swimming. Top Quality Golf Courses Located Nearby As springbegins to show its face around the Northwest area (Bellingham in particular) Western students resume their seige on the local golf courses. Golf is becoming an increasingr ly popular sport among Western-ites and much of the popularity o! the sport is dependent on the quality of the courses in the area and -the cost of each course. Perhaps the best golf course in the area is the Bellingham Golf and CountryClub. It is h gt; cated approximately one mile north of Bellingham on Meridian Street. . Monthly ratesfor junior mem: bcrs at the Country Club are four dollars, but players are required to join the club beforereceiving such rates. The most accessable and most inexpensive course in the area for part-time golfersis the Lake-way Golf Course just East of Highway 99 on Lakeway Drive. It is a nine hole course whichcosts only $1.25 and $1.75 for 13. Another interesting course that attracts many Bellingham golfers, isthe Peace Portal Golf Course on the Canadian border. It is inexpensive at two dollars and provides a test for the most skilled of golfers. Newcomers to the game who feel they aren't sure of themselves willfind that Western offers several courses in golf.

The Lummi Nation would like the 10-to-15-foot high bulkheads, the walls that protect the homes from ocean waves, AS seeks new board of directors By Allison Butler THE WESTERN FRONT The candidate filing period for Western's AS board of directors will end April 13. Candidates will campaign until the May 1 election day. So far, about 20 people have picked up candidate packets, but none have been turned in, AS President Amy Finkbonner said.

See ELECTION, Page 5 removed, because the tribe said they cause greater damage to the beach. "Right now our wish is not to take this to court, but through the community forums we hope to reach an agreement," said Aaron Thomas, public relations director for the Lummi Nation. To address the bulkhead issue, the Whatcom Human Rights Task Force and the Lummi Nation co-sponsored an informational meeJiif; March 29 to communicate to Sandy Point residents issues concerning the Lummi Nation. The Lummi Nation argued the problem is about residents who were not informed by their real estate agent that the land they were leasing was on tribal land, meaning that it is a landlord- tenant relationship between the tribe and the residents, Thomas said. The leases are up and the tribe members believe they are landlords, to Sandy Point residents and would like the bulkheads removed before residents can re- sign the leases. Sandy Point residents argue that the dispute is not about landlord-tenant relationships, but about jurisdiction and land boundaries, • Shane Ramsey See LUMMI, Page 20 Ethnic Student Center turns 10 .Bf Tara Blakeman THE WESTERN FRONT The Ethnic Student Center celebrated its 10-Year anniversary Thursday night. Decorated with red-ribboned flowers and memorabilia, the Viking Union filled with students, staff and alumni to eat and visit, celebrating the past and future of the ESC. "Creating the Ethnic Student Center has been a process of identity, community and unit," said Larry Estrada, Director of the American Cultural Studies Program. "Full diversity takes time, effort, sweat and even overcoming fear." The ESC has grown into a campus-wide program which umbrellas 13 different clubs.

Tuition hike expected to retain faculty By Brendan Manning THE WESTERN FRONT The state Senate budget proposal, approved last Friday in Olympia, will allow Western students to receive more financial aid next year. 'Tuition is a concern. Clearly, the students are asked (in the budget) to carry more of the burden.' ^ Erin Smith Associated Students Legislative Liaison To keep faculty and staff at Western with palatable salary increases, students may also have to pay for more tuition. "We hope to do at least 5 percent a year (in salary increases) for our faculty and exempt staff, but in order to do that, we've got to have more than the state provides, and that's where the tuition flux comes in," said Robert Edie, vice president for External Affairs. The Senate budget followed a "three-pronged approach" to finance salary increases, Edie said. Other than allocating money from the state general fund, the Senate budget provided Western with a special fund of $300,000 to retain and recruit faculty and staff. The budget also allows trustees to increase tuition for undergraduate resident students up to 5.2 percent next year and an additional 4.6 percent the year after.

Hospital ordered to pay thousands in baby death SPOKANE ~ A Spokane hospital was ordered to pay an $850,000 negligence judgment to the parents of a baby who died two days after birth. Mackenzie Watson died in September 1997 at Deaconess Medical Center. The Watson's lawyer said hospital workers and an on call doctor in charge of Mackenzie's delivery violated routine care standards by ordering the use of the drug Pitocin, which provokes uterine contractions, without any reason to do so. The Watsons said they eventually removed the baby from life support because she was severely brain damaged. NATIONAL NEWS Two Florida papers argue Bush won election WHITE HOUSE - White House officials said they are not surprised by the conclusion of a vote analysis suggesting President Bush won the presidential election. The review by the Miami Herald and USA Today indicated Bush would likely have tripled his 537-vote margin of victory had the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a hand recount of disputed ballots. Bush's Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said the president has thought the case was closed for months. Fleischer said Bush believes the American people spoke and he was elected. Of the new analysis, Fleischer said, "He thinks that the American people have moved way beyond this. He certainly has."

INTERNATIONAL NEWS Cuba welcomes American students HAVANA -- Cuba has rolled out the red carpet for eight Americans. They're the first Americans to attend a free six-year program to become doctors. An American national flag and the American anthem greeted the six women and two men at a welcoming ceremony Wednesday in Havana. The program was originally designed for impoverished students in Latin America. Fidel Castro offered to extend the free training to include 500 Americans last May. At the time, Castro told the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus, "It would be hard for your government to oppose such a program." The State Department said last year that it was unclear whether the Americans who are trained in Cuba will meet American licensing standards. It later said it would not stand in the way.

Jeremy and Nicole Jackson were at Whatcom Falls Park on June 10, 1999, when the explosion occurred, Jackson's attorney David Beninger said fumes from the explosion caused the two major lung 'How can the pipeline keep operating?' David Beninger attorney damage. The suit follows the June 10 explosion that killed Stephen Tsiorvas,10, Wade King, 10, and Liam Wood, 18. According to the court document ,the plaintiffs claim that the injuries, death and damages were a direct and proximate result of the defendants negligence and their failure to exercise reasonable and ordinary care. The court document filed by Beninger states his clients have suffered a range of physical and mental injuries including, but not limited to, severe and permanent injuries to their lungs and body, the exact extent of which are unknown. The injuries caused medical care and treatment, disability, medications, restrictions on physical activity, loss of enjoyment of life, mental anguish, pain, suffering, and other damages in an unknown amount said Beninger. "How can the pipeline keep operating," Beninger asked. The Jackson's have demanded the pipeline be closed until the all questions have been answered. "She (Nicole) has been treated by many specialists for her problems," Beninger said. Jeremy Jackson had an asthma attack threatening his future in the reserves. Jeremy Jackson declined to included specifics while litigation was pending.. In addition to Olympic Pipe Line Co., others named in the lawsuit are, Equilon Pipeline Co.; Olympics minority shareholder; Imco General Construction Co., which is accused of damaging the portion of the pipeline that exploded doing evacuation Search continues for missing kayakers By Brian Harrington THE WESTERN FRONT The bodies of two male kayakers presumed to have drowned in Bellingham Bay still have not been found after weeks of searching. Braden Lindholdt and Jim Robinson, both 20, did not return from a kayaking trip March 10. Two kayakers disappeared near Seattle the same week Lindholdt, a former student of Whatcom Community College, and Robinson, also of Bellingham, vanished. In addition, two University of Washington students drowned in an accident off Lummi Island. Members of the Whatcom County Sheriff's office and the Coast Guard searched the bay and the surrounding areas for Lindholdt and Robinson. After searching extensively, authorities called off the hunt March 13th. "We searched every area possible that they could have ended up in," Sgt. ' Kevin McFadden of the the sheriff's office said. "Now we must wait for a body or more clues to surface." Coast Guard Petty Officer Joe Williamson said water conditions were choppy, with winds blowing from the southwest, on the day the two disappeared. The water was about 48 degrees, he said, a temperature in which hypothermia could quickly set in. The sheriff's office and the Coast Guard were concerned about the men's lack of kayaking experience and knowledge of water safety. "The way prevailing conditions work, Bellingham Bay can have some of the worst conditions in Puget Sound," Williamson said. Two kayaks were found washed ashore in the northern area of Bellingham Bay March . 11. Lindholdt's hat was recovered in the same area March 19. "They did not have life preservers, and one of the individuals did not know how to swim," McFadden said. The search for the bodies is still ongoing. About 25 people, consisting of family, friends and volunteers, have continued to search daily. Former Western student Allison Kimmel said Robinson was a shy person who became more outgoing once he got to know others. "Once he got to know you, he was one of the funniest people you'd ever meet," she said. "He was hilarious." A memorial service for Lindholdt took place March 30 at Vineyard Christian^ Fellowship in Bellingham. , A service for Robinson took place the next day at Sacred' Heart Church.

Klasen was responsible for complying with the orders from the state to dig up, inspect and repair the pipeline of the rupture in 1997, according to the court document filed by Beninger. The Jacksons contend the pipeline region of the rupture was not visually inspected or repaired. following Klasen's orders to do so. "He was to dig up and inspect pipelines where it had ruptured," Beninger said. "He made the decision not to do it." Klasen, who has since relocated to Texas, has said he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate himself, according to the document. Arthur Harrigan Jr., an attorney for Olympic, said at the March 9 court hearing, Klasen voluntarily quit working at Olympic and moved to Texas, where he was hired by Equilon. Harrigan, as well as the attorney representing the other defendants, declined to comment on the lawsuit while litigation continues.

" W e became strong and we formed the Ethnic Student Alliance. On April 1, 1991, we introduced ymi to the world, our very own strong and beautiful Ethnic Student Center. We knew you were destined for greatness." The anniversary celebration also recognized goals for the future of the ESC, including more ethnically diverse curricula and tenured professors. "We must push for more space and funding from Western." Michelle Vendiola, a leader in the ESC said. "The ESC should become a leadership institute instead of a program institute. It will take us to places we couldn't dream of 10 years ago." Western President Karen Morse expressed her support and admiration of the ESC and presented it with a $500 award towards the creation of more programs. "I would like to enrich the university with more ethnically diverse students, faculty and staff. I hope the ESC will grow and become even more important," Morse said. Chris Fuller/ The Western Front With his daughter straining to see, Michael Vendiola, ESC Director, reads a letter he addressed to the ESC, which compared its growth to the growth of a child. "The ESC has allowed me to get involved and meet other people," Sarah Chea member of the Khmer Club said. "Not only people of color can be involved." The ESC provides a healthy and safe environment for all students to meet new people and push for positive social change. "The African American Alliance club has given me a place I can relate with others about being a minority on campus, a comfort zone," student Dharma Martin said.

"I ran for two years," Finkbonner said. "I was vice president of Activities last year. The first year I had no idea what to expect and I was surprised about how intense it was at the college level." Available positions include president, vice president for Academic Affairs, vice president for Activities, vice president for Business and Operations, vice president for Diversity, vice president for Legislative and Community Affairs and vice president for Student Life. The president is the chief administrative officer of the AS and is the spokesperson for the board of directors. This position requires a minimum of 30 hours per week devoted to AS business. "It is a really cool experience," Finkbonner said. "I am at a table with the Board of Trustees and I get to have a say in what happens." Each vice president works with programs and organizations at Western that deal with a specific area of expertise. "I am going to vote because I feel that stuff like that is really important and I want to be a part of the politics in my school," freshman Jenna Hartley said. "I am not voting because I don't feel like the AS interacts with the student body, so it isn't important to vote," sophomore Greg Trueb said. According to Western's election code, the candidate that gets 50 percent of the votes cast for each position in the general election is the winner. If three candidates remain and no one gets more than 50 percent of the votes cast, a runoff election will take place between the two candidates with the highest number of votes.

'In our view, a $150 - $200- a-year increase in tuition is not significant, but at the same time, the question becomes, 'Is that a reasonable price for the quality of the education that you get here at Western and the value of the degree? ' Robert Edie Vice President of External Affairs Edie said this fund will help Western from having to use the general funds intended for salary increases to respond to those offers. "We can use the tuition revenue to supplement that general fund salary increase," Edie said. Associated Students Legislative Liaison Erin Smith said the budget is outstanding and "shows the state is committed to higher education," but expressed his doubts about the tuition increases. "Tuition is a concern," Smith said. "Clearly, the students are asked (in the budget) to carry more of the burden. "They're forcing students to cover more of the costs than they probably should ... middle- income students are going to have increasing debt burdens and low-income students may find the financial barriers too high," Smith added. Edie said the proposed tuition caps for the next two years are justified as long as sufficient financial aid is available. The Senate budget proposal provides approximately $35.4 million for financial aid statewide, including $17.4 million for state, need grants and about $3.2 million for workstudy programs. "In our view, a $150 - $200-a year-increase in tuition is not significant," Edie said. "But, at the same time, the question becomes, Ts that a reasonable price for the quality of the education that you get here at Western and the value of the degree?"' Smith, however, believes the 9.8 percent tuition increase during the next two years is still too high of a cost for the $5,150 $5,050 $5,000 $2;950 Tuition costs $2,900 $2,850 $2,800 $2,750 $2,700 $2,650 2000- 01 2001-02 School years 2002-05 Graphic by Heather Baker/ The Western Front The passed Senate proposal will give students more financial aid hikes and give Western faculty and staff a salary raise. With the increase, tuition hike may come for students to retain faculty, a proposed 5.2 percent next year and 4.6 percent the following year. majority of students. Smith said six universities around the state, including Western, plan to stage a rally or set up informational booths today to protest the tuition increases in the Senate budget proposal. Pamphlets urging Western students to contact their senators and representatives will be passed out at the informational booth today in Red Square. The Senate budget was sent to the House, where a conference committee is expected to finalize it by the end of April. Some show support on national Kick Butts Day By Nazkhatoon Riahi THE WESTERN FRONT Five protesters, organized by Chris Covert-Bowlds, gathered in front of the Sunset Square Cigarettes Cheaper! store Wednesday to show the support for the sixth annual national Kick Butts Day. They held signs that read "Cigarettes Cheaper, Death Cheaper" and named people who had died of lung cancer due to smoking. The group offered passersby and customers of the store free nicotine "quit kits" that included samples of quitting aids, $5 off coupons for NicoDerm CQ, as well as pamphlets with helpful information on why and how to quit smoking. Most customers of Cigarettes Cheaper! and even Manager Terri Pitner did not mind the protest. In fact, 'We are a responsible cigarette retailer. We don't let anyone who's under 18 in the store without a parent and we ID anyone 27- years-old or younger at the door.' Terri Pitner Cigarettes Cheaper! Manager Pitner bought the demonstrators apple juice and doughnuts. "We don't mind the protesters," Pitner said. "They don't bother us." Pitner emphasized that the United States is a free country, and the protesters are not hurting anyone by being outside of her store* /, "We are a responsible cigarette retailer," Pitner said. "We don't let anyone who's under 18 in.the store without a parent and we ID anyone 27 years old or younger at the door." Covert-Bowlds, whose interest in the anti-tobacco fight was sparked when his grandfather died of lung cancer from smoking, is currently working to help pass a legislative bill that would force all restaurants where children are allowed to be smoke-free. Covert-Bowlds pointed out that research has proved that second-hand smoke causes lung cancer in non-smokers. "We are not prohibitionists," Covert-Bowlds said. "But there's a fine line between a person's right to smoke and our right to breathe. We feel that no smoker has the right to hurt somebody else." At first the protest angered Western. student Laurel Wyatt, who saw the huge cigarette butt and thought it was an advertisement for Cigarettes Cheaper! Once Wyatt, who recently quit after smoking for five years, realized that this was an anti-smoking protest, she stopped to ask Covert-Bowlds tips on how to stay smoke- 'We are not prohibitionists. But there's a fine line between a person's right to smoke and our right to breathe. We feel that no smoker has the right to hurt somebody else' Dr. Chris Covert-Bowlds Protest organizer free.

Hollibaugh referred to the 'Sexuality is one of the few places in our lives where people still carry hope for real love and joy.' Amber Hollibaugh Activist social justice issues of class, power, sexuality, AIDS and race as "a big plate." 'The real work of social justice is to create a movement that generally reflects the diversity of human experiences," Hollibaugh said. "Activism at best is something you do away from the academy and is often the things people say they care about but can't imagine doing," she said. "The key is to think about what you care about and what you're passionate about, then find a few other people and have a conversation about it." Hollibaugh, who became an activist during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, believes her background as a poor, lesbian, mixed-race child gives her a unique perspective. She said her opportunities for employment included McDonald's, picking tobacco leaves and sex work. "I knew what those type of vulnerabilities mean in daily life and whether there was a future with any joy in it," she said in an interview prior to her speech. "You work, harder being poor than in any other job because . you have nothing. Hollibaugh has worked primarily in lesbian communities where there is a need for AIDS/HIV education. She also has worked to create "social worlds" for lesbians, their partners and families. "Sexuality is one of the few places in our lives where people still carry hope for real love and joy," Hollibaugh said. "Sexual knowledge is not available to us. We often live in sexual silence, longing, and angry because we have no way to begin to talk to our partners." Hollibaugh said he believes it has become increasingly difficult to find a cause to become excited about, and a group of people to share in promoting change. "It's more complicated to find out what you want to do." 'Teople who are students are frustrated and paralyzed about how to do something to make a difference," Hollibaugh said. Hollibaugh believes talk of activism is empty. "It's about going out and trying things instead of saying its someone else's job," she said. "Social justice work is an amazing way to live." 'People who are students are frustrated and paralyzed about how to do something to make a difference. ' Amber Hollibaugh Activist She is a self- proclaimed "lesbian, sex radical, ex-hooker, poor-white-trash, feminist and gyps." Her book, "My Dangerous Desires," was published last winter. The book is a collection of essays and political writings. "Many of the pieces are more like a memoir," Hollibaugh said. 1 drink = 12 oz. beer = 4-5 oz. wine = 1.25 oz. 80 proof liquor Brooke Geery/ The Western Front "The real work of social justice is to create a movement that generally reflects the diversity of human experiences," Amber Hollibaugh says. Women's issues ignored, affect students, staff Tamara Harvey THE WESTERN FRONT The term "feminism" needs redefining, activist Amber Hollibaugh said. It is perceived as angry, agreed women gathered at a brown bag discussion on feminism, Thursday in Miller Hall 258. Western women faculty members said many feminist issues are ignored by members of the Western faculty. Women's issues, homosexuality, and race relations are topics that affect both students and staff, participants said. Feminism lacks inclusive-ness, Hollibaugh said. Many women feel that they cannot be feminists due to their race and sexual preference, Hollibaugh said. Faculty members said Western's environment foster the fear to express these issues. For example, a homosexual professor might feel afraid to openly expose his or her sexuality participants said. This applies to students as well, they said. Kris Bulcroft, who works in the Provost Office, said she feels "ignored." She recalled an instance at a faculty meeting where a question regarding Western fostered a chilly climate toward women. No one answered yes but Bulcroft, who said the meeting moved on without recognizing her answer. A generation gap exists between older and younger feminists, Hollibaugh said. Older women tend to have a more stubborn definition of the term, while younger women look at feminism through women's studies education. Participants also said women must choose between being mothers and being professionals. Lack of time and energy makes it hard for women to be actively involved. Much of the progress in women's studies is made through volunteerism, participants said. P a r t i c i p a n t s felt that women's issues need to be taught. "Feminism needs to be in the body course," lecturer Pam Hardman said. Others agreed that feminism needs to be included in the general university requirements. Cynthia Moulds who works in women's studies department, explained that it was easy for her to be involved in women's studies issues because that is her job, but many women do not have this advantage. People trained specifically in women's studies programs help the progress of feminism in this millennium, Hollibaugh said. Hollibaugh described, modern feminists as "risk-takers in a new way." The key is not giving up hope, she said. ---------- Western Front 2001 April 06 - Page 8 ---------- 8 • The Western Front ACCENT Arts Entertainment April 6, 2001 Celtic musician croons at Stuart's Photos by Stephanie Kosonen/The Western Front (Above) Fjaere stomped her red Converse All Stars and hopped around between songs. She said she felt "overcome" playing in Bellingham for the first time. (Right) Fjaere's fingers flutter across steel strings as Frankie plays backup guitar. By Jennifer L. Jennings THE WESTERN FRONT Dressed entirely in black except for red tennis shoes, a tall redhead known as Fjaere moved audience members to stomp their feet and nod their heads at Stuart's Coffee House Wednesday night. Providing entertainment with her large smile and talented Celtic Alterna-Pop acoustic style, her high energy and strong voice filled the venue for two-and-a-half hours. "You can run or you can ride, when you let your heart beat be the guide," sang Fjaere in her opening song. She gained attention with her Scottish accent and shy demeanor, which quickly gave way to intelligent and well-crafted music. Audience members easily slipped into the Scottish-folk-alternative groove. The stickers on Fjaere's guitar caught the light's glare, sparkling as her long fingers rapidly plucked the strings, increasing the mesmerized reaction of onlookers. First grinning with big teeth, then forcing sound through pressed lips into the microphone, she said, "Enjoy yourself. Just let go." Fjaere's lyrics are filled with enthusiasm, emotion and are focused on freedom. "My favorite thing to sing about is freedom," Fjaere said. "It's about getting loose and letting go ... high energy and telling stories." Fjaere said she also enjoys singing about messed-up love, but songs based on that topic often become too sentimental for her liking. Originally from rural Glasgow, Scotland, Fjaere was voted "Best Newcomer" in the United Kingdom by a music panel that included Sir George Martin and John Leckie, the producer for Radiohead, who loved her melodic, Celtic-alternative sound. After receiving this award, Fjaere was floWjii to Japan to tour and recently has been worked in Los Angeles recording her new album "Mover," released April 1. Fjaere said she is excited about the new album because it's "not roally folky but more alternative." She said a variety of musical groups have influenced and inspired her, including Billie Holiday, Macy Gray, Limp Bizkit, Fiona Apple, Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder and R.E.M. "My favorite band is from Seattle," Fjaere said. "I love Nirvana." Fjaere is expected to begin another tour, hosted by Living Room Records, in the Northwest, making visits to California, Oregon and Washington. She admits, however, that because she is so far away from home, she does get lonely. The two things she misses most in Scotland are the good beer and the rain. Frankie Mooney, a member of Fjaere's band, accompanied her and played the saxophone, keyboard and harmonica. He also kept the audience laughing with jokes like, "We will gladly take all of your money. We're Scottish, which means we're good at it." Other than music, Fjaere said she is also becoming good at playing pool. "Los Angeles is intimidating, but I like going to the clubs and I'm really getting into pool," she said. Her other interests include surfing the Internet, watching "The Sopranos" on HBO and making compilation CDs from the Internet. 'T really like Napster," she said. "I'm stealing songs all the time. I still buy records, but there's always another song I want to put on a CD." Fjaere proved to the audience her melodic acoustic sound was fine music to listen to, respect and gain involuntary appreciation for. The concert was upbeat, full of life, beauty and talent, praised by continuous swaying bodies and hands bashing together in applause. "Music makes me feel free," Fjaere said. It made her audience feel the Literary magazines for 500, Alex By Jenny Burritt THE WESTERN FRONT Answer: A journal edited and published by Western students containing fiction and nonfiction works, poetry and art that can be represented two dimensionally. And the question is: What is Jeopardy Magazine? "Every time I ask someone on campus if they have heard about Jeopardy, they always respond, The game show?'" said Carter Hasegawa, Western senior and editor-in-chief of Jeopardy. Hasegawa and Dave Mclvor, Western senior and associate editor, hope to put a stop to the puzzled looks people give them when they explain they are editors of Jeopardy. To get students and those in the .community to associate the word jeopardy with the journal instead of with Alex Trebeck, the two have spent time placing advertisements in literary magazines, posting signs around campus, making contacts and soliciting manuscripts from those in the artistic and writing communities. "We believe that Jeopardy is more than a 60-80 page journal that comes out once a year," Mclvor said. "We would like to see Jeopardy evolve into something that is supportive of a vital writing community at Western and in the Pacific Northwest." Jeopardy was first published on Western's campus in 1965.- "We are going to publish a double issue that will stand out from past issues because of the quality of its content," Mclvor said of the 35th issue that will arrive in print next fall. Already, the editors have received more than 200 submissions, and before the May 15 deadline rolls around, the editors expect to have close to 500 pieces of writing and artwork. Submissions have flooded in from all over the world. Writers and artists in London, Portugal, Spain and Japan have given their work to Jeopardy in hopes of being published. While Hasegawa and Mclvor are busy opening their mail, they are also busy sending out letters and attempting to bring in work from some of the best national writers. The two editors do not want to disclose any big names because they are still sending out letters. The editors are confident many will respond to their solicitations. "Our aim is to place the best of undergraduate work alongside established authors," Mclvor said. The manuscripts Jeopardy receives are reviewed by a group of 11 Western students who read and evaluate them. Looking for writing that is pushing the boundaries of stale prose, the readers search for original thought in the literature. "We have the final say on what goes in Jeopardy," Hasegawa said. "We would like a majority of the entries to come from Western students and people in the Pacific Northwest, so if two pieces are equally good, we will take the Western student's work." Jeopardy is calling for Western students to submit their artwork and writing for publication. In the spring, the editors hope to host a reading to showcase works by Western's aspiring writers. The journal is currently holding a contest for a cover design, and the winner will receive a $250 prize for his or her work. The deadline for submitting cover designs and literary pieces is May 15.

Since he hates wrestling "unless it's with Carmen Elektra in a cage," being a punk-rock star is exactly what made Henry Rollins famous. Wednesday night, the former Black Flag front man graced the Mount Baker Theatre stage for something. other than song. The highly enthusiastic crowd roared with laughter as Rollins displayed his other talent story telling — as a monologist in a nearly three-hour spoken word performance. Rollins, who stood against the black backdrop of a simple and empty stage, proving with certainty that he needed no props to captivate an audience's attention and entertain it. The 40-year-old's somewhat graying hair, sparkling beneath the intense stage lights, highly contradicted his youthful idealism and optimistic visions of an individual's power to make change. Rollins, who in the past has led bands such as Black Flag and The Rollins Band, has written more than 10 books, recorded numerous spoken word and musical CDs, modeled, acted and even owns his own recording and publishing company entitled "10.13.61" (his birthday). He is now touring the country and tackling some of life's most difficult issues in a one-man show. "This world is full of mediocre people who watch Ally McBeal," Rollins angrily declared. The show was an amusing critique in which Rollins analyzed himself and American society, offering solutions to some of life's most puzzling dilemmas. He grabbed his crotch incessantly referring to it as "the mighty skyscraper of lust." He boldly criticized the American government and called President George W. Bush "10 Dan Quayles in one." Rollins' politically incorrect honesty came with a heart felt message to everyone listening. "A lot of Americans wait around for someone to fix it," Rollins said of the country's problems. "They say, "That sucks. Fix it.' Well, ain't no one gonna fix it but you." Western freshman Albert Keever said he enjoyed Rollins' honesty. "I was surprised at how crazy his stage presence was, but at the same time, I was very impressed at how well he could get his message across," Keever said. Rollins' outpour of personal experiences and emotions also awed Keever. "I liked how he used stories from his own life to illustrate the point of how awesome life can be and encourages people to experience life as much as they can, instead of lecturing the audience," Keever said. During the performance, Rollins chaotically jumped from one subject to the next. Had he forgotten to take his Ritalin? Perhaps... From driving, aging and the male-female relationship, finding true love, to being Jesus Christ and serving as the U.S. president, Rollins performed an energy-induced, extremely random monologue. Through it all he never once lost the audience, and his every joke encountered hysterical laughter. He fascinated everyone with his imaginative, wacky fantasies of becoming president and the ideal world. "If I were president, I would eliminate the Ku Klux Klan, not because they are the worst hate group in America, but because they are the corniest," Rollins said. He went on to describe his week if he were president. "I'd only be president for one week because by Sunday I'd roll back the tax cuts and be assassinated," he said. "We have a very fucked-up public educational system that needs a lot of money," Rollins said. '1 would start finally paying the teachers what they're worth, which is written in gold, because it seems to me, if you have an educated country full of cultured people who know how to read, who know how to reason, homophobia would go away. Racism would go away. That's when Marlboro goes out of business. That's when McDonald's shrivels up and dies." He added that a tax cut rollback will not bring all this about, but it's a start in the right direction. The monologue came to a close with a brutal reality check and message from Rollins, who overcame his father's abusiveness and his own unjustifiable anger to reach for life and live it to the fullest extent. He encouraged the audience to experience life and to go out and do things. "A good way to eradicate yourself of ignorance is to go out and see things," Rollins said. "A lot of people stand outside of life but they never step in it. They wanna go somewhere but they never go. "Either you're kicking life's ass or it's kicking yours. Either you rock or you buy an Oasis album," Rollins said. In the end, he asked the enthusiastic and inspired audience to take one thing from the performance. "All I'm saying is that life is a fucking blast," he said in a much calmer, unfamiliar voice. "Let's not blow it." With those words, Rollins descended backstage and the theater roared with the sound of sincere cheers and applause. (Left and below) Rollins explains why men have such a fascination with tools, saying they literally revive their manhood. (Left) In a candid moment, Rollins tells of the first e-mail solicitation for Viagra he received.

"Youth do this dance in the moonlight," Addy said, in reference to a piece taken from the southeastern part of Ghana. Addy will present "Rhythm and the Roots of Change" today at 7:30 p.m. on the Performing Arts Center Mainstage, as part of Western's PAC Series. The listener, Addy said, is transported to the countryside of Ghana where drumming and danc-" ing are expressed in more than 40 different languages. Addy is an originator of the musical movement known as "Worldbeat" and spent the past two decades teaching and performing African traditional and popular music on the international performing arts scene, PAC coordinator Tamara McDonald said. Addy is part of the first generation of African musicians to bring traditional and popular music from Ghana's culture to America. "I want to cover young people and old, all citizens, with traditional music from Ghana and then show them how African pop developed," Addy said. Addy is known for his ability to celebrate past traditions of Ghana's culture while experimenting with new ideas of music, McDonald said. His musical styles are widespread. For instance, a piece translated "Our Life" shows the traditional style of Ghana's musical culture before the British came . and introduced instruments such as the trumpet and saxophone. In contrast, another piece translated "Sunshine" uses some of the techniques and sounds taken from jazz. "We are always learning new music and instruments," Addy said. "You can travel 20 to 30 miles in Ghana, and the music and instruments change completely." The band encourages audience participation of hand-clapping and occasional dancing. The dancers and musicians alternate roles of playing and dancing by visual cues. The tempo and pitch of the drums keep the rhythm and mood of the dance. Addy's performance will span from traditional Ghanian drums and dance to a harmonic combination of his traditional music and North American jazz. His performance traces the roots of African pop and how it continues to gain popularity in Europe and America. Addy has toured the world and released numerous recordings. His band Okropong specializes in traditional African music, while his Seattle-based band Kukrudu is an Afro-jazz fusion band that has claimed the worldbeat movement tag, according to Option Reviews. The sound pallet Addy uses is diverse. It includes several different hand drums, iron bells, bamboo flutes and the African xylophone called a giri, which is mounted on a frame filled with gourds which alters pitch. Frequent background singing accompanies the music. Many of the compositions Addy performs represent aspects of village life in the countryside of Ghana. The piece titled "Nakie" celebrates a young woman's coming nuptials through the words of the bride's mother. Another piece tells the history of fishermen, using the traditional drumming style. All the drums Addy uses are Ghanian instruments made from wood and goat leather. Addy is recognized as a master on the "donno" drum, or the "talking drum," by the Arts Council of Ghana. He believes in the ability of the drums to speak to the audience. "Americans call, the donno drum the 'talking drum,' but really all of the drums are talking drums," Addy said. In 1996, Addy received the National Heritage Fellowship award, which is the highest honor given in folk and traditional arts by the National Endowment for the Arts. Addy has brought his music into schools to encourage an appreciation of traditional Ghanian culture and to cultivate new ideas about music. He feels music can be a powerful teaching tool. "Rhythm is the key to everything, whether you are walking or talking," Addy said in a Sforzand magazine article. "We're working, too, on how to work together and how to play the music together and how to have patience. It's teamwork. You've got to listen to each other." Addy is also the director of the Homowo Festival in Portland, Ore., which celebrates the end of the famine that plagued Ghanians as they migrated to west Africa. He began the celebration 12 years ago when he could not travel home to Ghana for the festival. Now the festival has thousands of participants. Tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for Western family members, $18 for seniors and $15 for youth/students. A limited amount of tickets for the student rush section are available for $6 and may be purchased at any time. Student I.D. is required. Tickets may be purchased at the PAC box office.

In addition to the performance, Addy informed the students where he's from and . some of the history behind the dance. ---------- Western Front 2001 April 06 - Page 12 ---------- 12 • The Western Front Accent April 6, 2001 By Brooke Geery THE WESTERN FRONT A sharp fang punctures the pale skin of a helpless virgin's neck. Blood trickles down her collar. It is a scene incredibly familiar in the cinema, and the movie responsible for it, "Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror," will play tonight and Saturday at the Pickford Cinema, Bellingham's only independent theater, in conjunction with the Oscar-nominated "Shadow of the Vampire." Seattle's Ensemble Sub Masa will perform an original score live during the showings of "Nosferatu." "These films, each great movies, become stronger when played together," Pickford manager Alan Mooers said. '"Shadow's clever premise allows the imagination to take 'Nosferatu' to its most fantastic conclusion." Based on Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula," "Nosferatu" was made in 1922. This silent German film was the first ever made on the subject of vampires. "To watch F.W. Murnau's 'Nosferatu' is to see the vampire movie before it had really seen itself," movie critic Roger Ebert said in his review, which appears on the Chicago Sun Times website. "Nosferatu" is the essence of an expressionist film that uses extreme exaggeration, distortion and imagery to tell illustrated plots. Rather than on a set, the movie was filmed on location. This was partially due to budget restrictions, but also because of Marnau's obsession with realism. Another example of the movie's expressionist character, although perhaps not intentional, was that actor Max Schreck played the vampire named Schreck, meaning terror in German. "Shadow of the Vampire" is not based on "Nosferatu," rather, it is about it. It is an approximate account of Murnau's struggles to produce the film. In "Shadow," John Malkovich plays the director who hires a real vampire, Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe) to bring more realism to his film. He explains the star's bizarre behavior as an extreme form of "method acting," but then crew members begin to disappear. At this, Murnau cuts a deal with Schreck. For an incredible performance, he will attack the film's female star, Greta. "Shadow" was -nominated for two Oscars, including Best Supporting Actor and Best Makeup. In "Nosferatu," the character names were changed from those in the book. Dracula became Count Orlok, Harker became Hutter and Mina became Ellen. Murnau, however, failed to secure the rights to the story. Stoker's widow, Florence Stoker, saw the film as an infringement of her husband's estate and had the majority of the copies destroyed. Only a few that had been shipped out of Germany survived. Currently only one print of "Nosferatu" is in circulation in the United States. "We are fortunate to have a restored, uncut print of the classic film," Mooers said. Ensemble Sub Masa specializes in the music of southeastern Europe. Like the film, the music was inspired by the imagery of Germany. Together, "Nosferatu," "Shadow of the Vampire" and Ensemble Sub Masa will provide a haunting look at vampires. "Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror" will begin today at midnight and Saturday at 2 p.m. and midnight. The cost is $6. "Shadow of the Vampire" will play today through April 12 at 4, 7 and 9 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Shows cost $6. Matinees, Monday showings and tickets for Pickford members are $4.

Higginson music festival Saturday By Eric Berto THE WESTERN FRONT The second annual Higginson Festival of Music, an event that will include a performance by the local band A Bird of Passage, a dance, an open microphone and karaoke experience is this Saturday. "This is an affordable event that people can enjoy and be surrounded with different types of music," Higginson Residential Hall Director Taya Dolsen said. ; The festival H H B ^ B runs from 7 p.m. until midnight and will cost one dollar to get in. The festival comes at a time when students are selecting where they want to live next year. It is the first of many events that will display the different communities on campus. "This is a chance to show what Higginson has to offer," said Stephanie Fox, security manager for the festival. "We want people to see that we are more than just a dorm." At this year's event, commonly known as HIG-FOM, A Bird of Passage will showcase its unique sound that is a blend of jazz, hip-hop and soul. The band has toured the West Coast in . addition to playing many shows in Bellingham. It will perform in the Higginson fish bowl lounge from 7-9 p.m. An open microphone will be located in the fish bowl lounge, and it will be an opportunity for people to be spontaneous and show their talents and new material, Fox said. The dance, also located in the fish bowl lounge, will begin at 9:30 p.m. and end at midnight. Higginson resident adviser Nick Fomin will play a variety of music voted upon by the residents of H i g g i n s o n , Dolsen said. Students may also choose to show off their • vocal talents at karaoke. The t e l e v i s i o n lounge will be open from 8 p.m. to midnight for karaoke. "Karaoke is a fun way for more interaction other than just dancing," Dolsen said. The festival is Higginson's largest event of the year, reaching out to the entire coimmunity, Fox said. Co-sponsored by the Residence Hall Association a,nd other residence halls on campus, the festival is being organized by Higginson Assistant Residential Director, Susan Martin. Several other student committee members also helped, Dolsen said.

Graduated Western basketball player Ryan Kettman isn't exactly retired, but he is doing just that. Recovering from four years of college academics and Viking basketball, Kettman is taking a month or two off from everything to recollect what he has accomplished in his Western career. The rest of the 2000-01 Viking men's basketball team is taking a well-deserved break after a record breaking run in the NCAA Division II national tournament. Mimicking last year's women's basketball Final Four team, the men's team powered its way into the Elite Eight Tournament in Bakersfield, Calif., during finals week of winter quarter. The Vikings muscled out a victory over Queens College of North Carolina, 89-85, to reach the Final Four, where the run came to an end against Washburn University of Kansas, 96-90. Western ended the season with a school best 27-4 record and No. 7 ranking in the national poll. "It was a weird feeling the last two minutes of the game," Kettman said of the Vikings' 15-point rally near the end of the team's season-ending game against Washburn. "It felt like B0wli:rig;;;;;';^ that time lasted forever." Western came back from a 17- point deficit with 2:09 left in the game to cut it to two, but Washburn pulled away to advance to the national title game. "I was extremely proud of our team," Western head coach Brad Jackson said. "We never gave up. We continued to fight and had a sliver of hope there at the end. It was a real testimony to our ball club." "The last 12 seconds of the game went by so fast and it was over.' Ryan Kettman Former Western basketball player Top scoring guard Jacob Stevenson scored 24 points to reach 1,008 for his career. He became the 12th player in school history to score more than 1,000 points in his career. Forward A.J. Giesa and center Mike Palm added 21 points each in the game. Washburn's leading score was center Ewan Aguste, who scored 17 of his 29 points in the second half. "He's so strong,'-* Palm said of Aguste. "I was just trying to force him out as far as I could, but he's so strong, and there wasn't a whole lot I could do." Stevenson, who will be a senior, will return as one of the leaders for next season. "We have high hopes for next year," Stevenson said. "I think good things will happen." Other key players returning for Western are Palm, Giesa, forward Nehemiah Campbell and guards Shelton Diggs and Jason Burrell. Guard Darnell Taylor and forward/center Brian "Yogi" Dennis should be eligible to return next season. "A huge phase of my life is over," Kettman said after returning from a round of golf with his buddies. "I'm taking a well-deserved break before I go out to find a job. I'm playing a lot of golf and doing a lot of nothing." Kettman scored just four points in his Viking finale, but initially he was bothered more by how Western's national run ended. "The last 12 seconds of the game went by so fast and it was over," Kettman said. "I was disappointed on how the season ended, not winning a national title. It didn't hit me until I left the gym that I would never play basketball again." Having completed a bachelor's degree in finance this winter, Kettman, who grew up in Bellingham, plans to stay in the area and obtain a financial consulting job. "I just love it up here," Kettman said. "My parents are here and I don't want to go to Seattle because it takes 10 minutes to drive two blocks."

The Vikings ended the tournament 33 over par with a total score of 897. Junior Jamie Kim, Western's tourney leading player, completed the district tournament one under par 71 to take a third place honor. Other notable Western golf scorers included junior Bo Stephan, who finished with an overall score of 223 and a low round of 79. Junior Brian Flugstad completed the tournament with a 229 overall and shot three over 75. Cal State-Bakersfield won the District 8 qualifier with a 12 over score of 876. Marc Lawless of Cal State- Stanislaus took the title, finishing with an overall of 214. Western is practicing everyday to prepare itself for the district, regional and national tournaments. If the team advances to nationals, it would mark the seventh consecutive year Western's team has made an appearance. Western has played in 14 national championship tournaments since the team formed. "To prepare, the team gets together and goes over concerns and the layout of the course," Kim said. Western is currently ranked No. 14 in the Mastercard Collegiate Golf Ranking of Division II men's teams. Head coach Steve Card said he believes for Western to reach its full potential, all five members of the team must play well and with great confidence. "It is tough to get a team to peak because you have to make sure that all five players are playing to the max," Card said. "The game can change at any time." Kim recently won his first collegiate title at the Cal State- Stanislaus Invitational March 27. Kim has played golf for eight years and is in his fourth year at Western, with one more left. "I have matured into the role that has been expected of me," Kim said. "The difference is in my inner confidence." Card said he is looking forward to Western's second district tournament April 16 and 17 in Chico, Calif. Doggy paddle doesn't work for Zags Western women's varsity crew team beats Gonzaga in Saturday's meet By Leanne Josephson THE WESTERN FRONT In both heavy wind and rough waters, Western's women's varsity crew team beat Gonzaga University Saturday in its first race of the season. "I knew the women had a shot at them," Western coach John Fuchs said. "I knew that if Western got out in front they wouldn't let Gonzaga row through them." The women out-rowed Gonzaga by two seconds, about half a boat length. "We expected it would be a tough race," stroke seat and senior rower Marsa Daniel said. "We went in with the mindset that we would be right with them or down on them, but then we had a really strong start which put us up early on in the race." The women lost to Gonzaga last season. Daniel believes the team came in with a better attitude this year. "We had good momentum," she said. "Our goal is to keep that momentum going through the rest of our races." Though the win was important, Daniel said the women stayed composed. "We were very happy to win, but realized that we had to race them more times this season," she said Daniel said the team's times have yet to peak. "It wasn't our strongest row," Daniel said. "We can row better than that. We are going to keep improving throughout the season and have our best rows when it counts." Gonzaga defeated the Western men's varsity and women's and men's junior varsity and novice boats.

The Viking crew looks forward to Husky Invite By Leanne Josephson THE WESTERN FRONT The lOth- ranked Western women's crew team will row in the Husky Invite 9 a.m. Saturday at the University of Washington. The race, drawing teams from along the West Coast, runs through the Montlake Cut, a waterway from Lake Union to Lake Washington. The team will compete against the UW C Boat and Oregon State in the race. "We're hoping to come out on top," team captain Karla Landis said. "We're comparable to their boats." . Coach John Fuchs hopes to take the boat to nationals May 26 in Georgia., He said the women have tough competition from UC Davis. "Last year we didn't fare so well against them," Fuchs said. "Our goal is to get down way under seven minutes in a 2,000 meter race." "We've been focusing a lot on timing," Landis said. "There's a lot of power in the boat. We're a strong crew. I'm not sure people are expecting that." 'The boat is the strongest its been in the four years I've been here.' Marsa Daniel senior rower Women's crew started practicing during fall quarter, spending two hours on the water, six days a week while the sun came up. It competed in Head of the Lake, a 6,000 meter fall race in which it was disqualified for going on the wrong side of a buoy, junior varsity rower Katrina Van Winkle said. "There is more potential for us this season then there has been in the past," stroke seat and senior rower Marsa Daniel said. "The boat is the strongest its been in the four years I've been here." The women's most intense training was during spring break when they practiced twice a day in preparation for the official racing season. "We don't have any night life ever," Van Winkle said. "Saturday is the only day we can stay up late. By then we're so tired it doesn't really matter." For Van Winkle, the time and commitment needed to compete is worth it. "I really enjoy being part of a close- knit team," she said. "It's all worth it when you get to racing season and get to compete."

That's what Gov. Gary Locke seems to be saying with his latest suggestion to remove the law libraries from prisons in Washington state. Locke and the Corrections Department are sponsoring, legislation attempting to cut the state budget by an estimated $1.2 million during two years through the removal of prison law libraries. Will someone please call Gov. Locke and remind him that the 14th Amendment and the freedoms and rights guaranteed within it are not dependent on state funding? Would Locke restrict prisoners' access to medical attention by getting rid of prison infirmaries, forcing all prisoners to go to one centrally -located infirmary in an attempt to save money? No. That is essentially what this move does with access to these libraries and the materials located in them. So why should prisoners, who obviously require access to these law libraries, suffer because of a lack of state funding? The basic premise of the American judicial system is that 10 guilty men should go free so 'Ever try to read and comprehend a Supreme Court decision? Dostoevsky is a much easier read.' that not one innocent man should be unjustly incarcerated. How then can prisoners effectively defend themselves, appeal court decisions and understand the vastly complicated judicial system, without easy access to these materials? Ever try to read and comprehend a Supreme Court decision? Dostoevsky is a much easier read. The main purpose for these libraries is so prisoners may file petitions against illegal detention. According to a Jan. 27 Seattle Post- Intelligencer article, in 1999 inmates from Washington state filed 774 of these petitions. Of these, 10 percent were successful. That means 74 prisoners were found innocent or had been incarcerated unlawfully. One would assume that if Locke had been incarcerated unjustly, he might have a different view on this issue. Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court Gerry Alexander said in relation to this issue, 'This, in my view, is not a proper way to save money. If you're a prisoner, you don't have any other place to go. It's wholesome activity. It's not like we're setting up motorcycle clubs for prisoners." In fact, the massive lawsuits from prisoners that would ensue because of the unconstitutionality of this move would surely cost more money than it is supposed to save. The rights contained within The Constitution are basic and fairly easy to understand. Why then have Washington state lawmakers decided they only apply to part of the population? Abandonment of Kyoto Treaty an embarassment Bernadette Ramel COMMENTARY President George W. Bush announced last month his refusal to implement the 1997 Kyoto Treaty against global warming, which committed all industrial nations to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases. Nobody assumed the former governor of Texas actually cared about environmental issues, but his abrupt decision outraged political leaders and ecologists all over the world. Their anger is well-grounded and Bush's announcement that the United States would not try to meet the goals of Kyoto is simply irresponsible. Under the treaty, the United States agreed that it had until 2012. to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to 7 percent below the emission levels reached in 1990. At the same time, 37 other industrial countries, including nations of the European Union, have to reduce their emission levels by 5.2 percent. Bush's sudden change of mind is a threat to a fragile international agreement that took years of negotiations. 'Their anger is well-grounded, and Bush's announcement that the United States would not try to meet the goals of Kyoto is simply irresponsible.' Last November in The Hague, Netherlands, world leaders failed to reach an agreement on how to meet the goals set in Kyoto in 1997. The American position now makes this agreement even less reachable. Even though European leaders announced their intention to stick with the goals, U.S. abandonment severely undermines their efforts. The United States is responsible for 25 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, although it accounts for less than 5 percent of world population. The disengagement of the most polluting country from the Kyoto agreement makes other international efforts useless. As the London Times wrote, Bush's opposition to Kyoto is "a clear and provocative message to the world." The message is that the United States does not care about climate change and will not hesitate to tear up international accords to protect national interests. Bush argued the treaty was unfair for the United States. The American administration pointed out that Bush's original campaign pledge to cut power plants' carbon dioxide emissions is now inconsistent with the need to increase domestic energy production. Regulation of carbon dioxide emissions would threaten coal-burning power plants, which still account for more than 50 percent of the electricity produced in the United States. Implementing the Kyoto Treaty meant higher electricity prices, Bush said. His justifications are shocking. They display a willful ignorance for the whole world and an arrogant disdain for what happens outside of U.S. borders. Isolationist views must not prevail when global environmental issues are at stake because Americans are not the only ones affected by Bush's decision. The potential consequences of global warming for the next generations mean nothing to Bush. Even worse, he expressed doubts that the production of carbon dioxide by human activities significantly caused global warming. This position is no longer credible since a scientific consensus now exists on the issue. As The New York Times wrote last October, environmental specialists agree that the influence of human activities on Earth's climate change is significant. Scientists even urge for sharper reductions of greenhouse gas emissions to effectively counteract global warming and its consequences, such as the rise of sea levels. Bush said he is committed to finding alternative solutions about climate change, but people all over the world have to fear that he is much more committed to serve the interests of the fossil fuel industry, to which he already owes his career.

Thomas Harper Bellingham resident ---------- Western Front 2001 April 06 - Page 18 ---------- 18 • The Western Front Opinions April 6, 2001 Universities abuse students with senate tuition cap Since 1988, tuition at public universities in Washington state has increased 112 percent. Western beware: If the state budget, approved by the Senate Friday in Olympia, makes it past the House of Representatives in the next two weeks, students will witness the cost of higher education rising higher yet. The Senate budget proposal allows a 5.2 percent cap on tuition during the 2001-02 academic school year. This means university governance boards, such as Western's Board of Trustees? have the option of increasing tuition costs to the maximum capacity set by the state. Note the option. For most of the 20th century, the Legislature regulated tuition according to state budgets. In 1999, for the first time in 100 years, Washington handed control of tuition over to university governance boards, creating a kind of limited local control of student fees. Instead of having complete control of regulating tuition costs, the Legislature now sets caps over those who do. The problem is not the cap itself, but the idea of local control over tuition. Since the passing of the tuition torch, most universities have abused the concept of the cap by using it as an excuse to increase revenue. When control was passed to the local level, every university in the state, with the exception of Washington State University and Eastern Washington University, raised tuition costs to the maximum amount allowed by the Legislature. If the 5.2 percent cap is maxed out at Western during the 2001- 02 academic year, full-time undergraduate students will pay $2,979.26 per year — $147.26 more for the same education offered by the university this year. Western's Associated Students Vice President for Legislative and Community Affairs Stacey Valentin said Washington state universities have begun treating tuition as if it were a cookie jar, snatching up student dollars like chewy chocolate chippers meant to satisfy the growling university belly, rather than sharing with students. The Legislature considers tuition a user fee of the university, similar to the way the state regulates parks and utilities. Basically, it goes toward the maintenance and operation of the school. It has nothing to do with directly increasing the quality of education — what students should be paying for. Today, every four-year institution in Washington will hand out information about the proposed tuition increase. The AS will be present in Red Square, sharing with students the view of the Higher Education Committee: that, as an alternative to the current state of things, tuition costs should be linked to economic indicators such as personal income. The HEC and AS are on the right track. Tuition should be tied to per-capita income, which is expected to rise 4.9 percent during the 2001-02 academic year. Students should show support for their own cause by signing their name on a paper link, representing the virtually non-existent connection between income and tuition. Otherwise, look out for the crumbs.

Smoking initiative thoughtful but ultimately misguided Robert Gara Jr. COMMENTARY Another battle against smoking has sparked up in Washington. A proposed initiative filed by the American Lung i ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^B Association of Wa s h i n g t on March 25 would raise the already h e a v i l y - t a x ed cigarette 60 cents, making cigarette prices in the state the highest in the nation. The state would use the revenue to provide health insurance for low-income residents. This extra 60 cents is a poor deterrent for smokers who will not stop reaching into their pockets for their lighters. The initiative is unfair and doesn't benefit the community as a whole. With proceeds going to a specific group, smokers are subjected to paying extra in hopes of reforming the health care system. Failing as an anti-smoking campaign, it only penalizes smokers for their habit. This would bring the tax to a $1.43 per pack. The extra dollar and change could easily be found underneath couch cushions. A 16-year-old kid is not going stop smoking for a measly dollar and something. Admitted smoker and Western student Ben Kaplan said, "I'd pay whatever I have to because they have monopolized my habit." The fight against smoking in the state not only targets the smoker but also the 28 Native American tribes selling untaxed cigarettes to non- Native Americans. Fifty-eight tribal smoke shops in our state sell tax-free cigarettes that only Native Americans can legally buy. Last year, the state lost more than $63 million because of illegal tribal sales. Only 12 tribes in the state have agreed to make the switdi to taxing cigarettes, leaving 16 tribes with untaxed cigarettes, a fact that needs to be r e c o n s i d e r ed by the sponsors of the initiative. If 'At first glance it seems like a good idea; raising the prices on cigarettes, in tribes raise turn deterring smokers tneir cigarette from buying.' prices to the state's new standard, the reservations could keep all proceeds. At first glance it seems like a good idea: raising the prices on cigarettes, in turn deterring smokers from buying. Yeah right. Nicotine is an addictive substance, and smokers are addicted. The state is singling out a minority group and penalizing them for an addiction. Instead of continuing the war against manufacturers or ^^^^^^^^^^ growers, the ^ H ^ ^ ^ l ^ ^ state has decided to make money off smokers. Why not raise taxes on addictive cigarette or advancements in the fight against lung cancer, it would seem reasonable. Most smokers agree they want to quit smoking but can't. People are going to continue to smoke, drink and use other substances regardless of the consequences. Either they will quit or die, but no matter the result, smokers will live poor lives scrounging for extra change. Why not raise the prices to fund research to find more effective methods to quit? A smoker, in turn, will at least be investing in a cure for the addiction. It is a proven fact that smoking is addictive and is the leading cause of lung cancer. Smoking causes 8,000 deaths every year in Washington. Despite the millions spent on prevention programs by the state every year, 65 teenagers still start smoking every day. The state has a trend of increased smoking, up 2.4 percent from 1992. More youngsters smoke now than a decade ago. •nmi More money needs to be spent on the fight to rid the 'The state has a trend of country of ciga- increased smoking, up 2.4 rettes com-p 1 e t e 1 y .

Perhaps, if the extra money made from the tax went into a fund searching for the non-story. Making smokers poorer will just spark another epidemic. • This tax is a form of discrimination, and unless it benefits everyone equally, it should not be taken seriously nor passed by the state. Smokers can't smoke in restaurants, bars, outside of some buildings, in airplanes — and now people want to make them poor citizens as well? : ^l^l§M0flM, WMIff ;JlllillllI|lW illllllSiSlIIIIllllIBllllilllllilililll IIIIIIIIIIIIIII^ ---------- Western Front 2001 April 06 - Page 19 ---------- April 6, 2001 The Western Front • 19 R H i R S M E N T INSiRANCE MUTUAL fUNOS TRUST S t B H t C I S TUITION FINANCING TIAA-CREF provides xJLLlClllv/XCtx ov/JLvlLAvyllii IvJ last a lifetime.

Ramsey said the Lummi Tribe claims it owns the land up to 13 feet above the tidelands, but he said it has no legal backing to prove that true. He said the Sandy Point residents, through the fee-simple title from the U.S. government, own the land up to eight feet in elevation. Ramsey also added that Whatcom County has jurisdiction to the eight-foot level and not the Lummi Nation. gt;• At the meeting, Jeremy Freimund, water resources manager for the Lummi Nation explained the effects the bulkheads had on the beaches. The bulkheads create unnatural erosion, meaning that waves are hitting the bulkheads with much more energy, causing greater damage to the beach, Freimund said. Another issue discussed at the meeting involved the unearthing of an ancient burial site in Blaine. 'By having these forums, we hope to communicate and educate the people on this issue concerning the Lummi Nation.' Aaron Thomas Lummi Tribe Public Relations Director Eighteen months ago, excavation began to expand the wastewater treatment. During construction, artifacts and human remains were uncovered, said Sharon Kinley, Lummi Nation anthropologist. An agreement that was made between Washington state and the tribe said any construction that uncovered ancestral artifacts was to stop immediately and the tribe and the state were to be notified, Kinley said. In this case, the tribe wasn't notified and 26 remains were taken to Denver. The tribe was unable to get the human remains back for five to six days. Kinley said the tribe would like national protection for ancestral archeological sites and also reassurance this situation doesn't happen again. The goal of the meeting was to communicate with the community because problems need to be jointly worked on for solutions to be found, said Willie Jones, Lummi Business Council chairman. "By having these forums, we hope to communicate and educate the people on this issue concerning the Lummi Nation," Thomas said.

Fallout Shelters Western's war defense/2 Friday, February4, 1983 Spare Fairhaven, Huxley, all programs, Ross tells trustees Harassment policy passes; SABnamed Parks Hall By Dave Mason Western's first sexual harassment policy was approved by theBoard of Trustees yesterday, creating a grievance procedure for students who believe they've beensexually harassed by a faculty member, staff member, administrator or campus employer. Theprocedure can lead to action as severe as dismissal of the accused individual from Western. Also atyesterday's fast-paced meeting — a meeting that seemed to discuss virtually everything — trusteeslistened to Western President G. Robert Ross explain how Western consistently has received lessfunding than Central and Eastern since 1965. The board agreed to name the new South AcademicBuilding after benefactors Maynard and the late M. Patricia Parks of Bellingham. Besides a new name,the building also will receive a sculpture— "Normanno Wedge." Trustees approved its purchase.With the new sexual harassment policy, students can get informal advice from the Office of StudentLife, and they can file complaints with the dean of students. Students who want a formalinvestigation must sign a complaint identifying the accused individual. The complaint then goes to theAffirmative Action officer, who determines if the facts warrant investigation. If the officer does believe thecomplaint ought to be investigated, he forwards the signed complaint to the appropriate vice presidentwithin 15 days of the time it was filed. The vice president within 15 days of the time it was filed. Thevice president then decides whether "there is a reasonable cause to believe that sexual harassmentdid occur," the policy states. The vice president can levy penalties as severe as dismissal fromWestern. Both the accused and the student who signed the complaint can appeal the vice president's decision under the policy. "Parts (of the policy) are vague," trustees Chairman Curtis Dal-rymple said,but added, "I have no objections to it." Earlier this month Connie Copeland, developmental programscoordinator for the Office of Student Life, said most cases of alleged harasssment could be resolvedwithout pressing formal D See BOARD/page 3 ^^^msMmmmssmmmmm^^^^m PrP^lflPnt «ppk« Photo by Blair Kooistra Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs listens as Paul Ford, vicepresident for academic affairs, tells the Board of Trustees that he and Western President G. Robert Ross recommend no programs be cut, despite the report by the Instructional Program Review Committee.Comments sought on proposed rules tying draft to financial aid By Jim Bacon The U.S Department ofEducation now is accepting public comment on its proposed rules requiring male students between 18and 22 years old to comply with Selective Service regulations before they can get federal financial aid.The proposed rules, published Jan. 27 in the Federal Register, would affect such aid programs as PellGrants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, National Direct Student Loans, College Work-Study, and Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL) and Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS).Comments on how the proposed rules should be implemented will be accepted until Feb. 28. The rules in their final form will take effect July 1. If the proposed rules are adopted as is, all students applying forfederal aid will either have to prove they are registered for a possible draft or indicate why they don't haveto register. Proof of registration is a "registration acknowledgement letter" the aid applicant got fromSelective Service. Those not required to register include women, men under 18 or bom before 1960, andthose already in the service on active duty (except the reserves or National Guard). A student would have to verify his registration only once. That information would then go into his financial aid file as proof ofregistration for later years. A transfer student who verified his registration while at another school wouldautomatically be verified at his new school, according to the proposed rules. Financial aid transcriptssent to the new school would include the student's Selective Service number. The proposd rules allowfor students who are waiting for their original acknowledgement letter or who have lost it and don't want to risk losing aid. A student who turns 18 after March 31, but before school begins in the fall, would haveto submit a notarized affidavit stating he hasn't gotten his acknowledgement letter from SelectiveService. A student who lost his letter would have to submit an affidavit stating he's written to SelectiveService for a copy. He'd also have to provide a copy of the request. Schools wouldn't be required toaccept affidavits from students who simply lost their letters. A student who submitted an affidavit wouldhave to sent his verification information within 120 days of the date on the affidavit or lose eligibility foraid. In the meantime, the school would be allowed to disburse aid for the first payment period (quarter orsemester) of the student's eligibility, and could certify any GSL or PLUS loan application he had. Anystudent who didn't meet the 120-day deadline would have to pay back any aid he got during that period.A student who didn't have to register when he applied for aid but who turns 18 or leaves active duty afterhe's begun school won't have to verify his registration until the next year that he applies for aid, theproposed rules state. Students denied aid for not verifying their registration would be allowed to request a hearing during the school year in which the aid was denied. The student also would have to prove he'scomplied with registration requirements and would have to supply copies of all material he's sent to hisschool. He'd also have to explain • See COMMENT/page 3 delay in deciding future of Western ByElayne Anderson They came to yesterday's Board of Trustees meeting braced to defend their programsagainst elimination, but a simple recommendation by President G. Robert Ross eased faculty members' tensions almost immediately—no academic programs should be terminated. Ross, in agreement withActing Vice President for Academic Affairs Paul Ford, told the trustees that eliminations proposed bythe Instructional Program Review Committee should not be acted upon and Huxley should not bereduced to departmental status within the College of Arts and Sciences. The report, which was released last month, suggested eliminating Fairhaven College, the dance department, interdisciplinary arts andthe department of office a d m i n i s t r a t i o n / b u s i n e s s education. The report alsorecommended making Huxley a department, while reducing 11 others and enhancing four. Ford, who had been attending hearings and receiving written responses concerning the report, said the "picture thatcomes through very clearly is the vision of this university as a comprehensive university. "Western ought to be a place where there are diverse programs and most importantly, it ought to be a place thatprovides all kinds of opportunity for students to learn how to learn." Ford said his recommendation toRoss is that "none of the programs identified for elimination be dropped and that Huxley not become aunit within the College of Arts and Sciences." Ford also recommended that the provost work very closely with deans affected by the recommendations of elimination to try to get the programs into the "bestshape to succeed." Ford said he would hold the deans "individually responsible." After the meeting,Dean of Fairhaven Dan Larner said that Fairhaven already is committed to increasing its enrollment.Ross, officially appointed president of Western at the meeting, told the packed meeting that it'simportant to declare as soon as possible that programs would not be recommended for eliminationsbecause of the students and faculty in the programs. More important, Ross said, are the high schooland community college students interested in the programs. Ross said he would "like to bury the notion of elimination," which comes up every so often at Western. • See SPARE/page 3 ---------- Western Front - 1983 February 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, February 4,1983 Faculty coalition — 'Come visit our turf By Eric DanielsonEncouraging people to visit Western and putting the right information in the hands of administrators whotravel across the state is the intent of a program to be presented by the faculty coalition to the entirefaculty at a meeting next Tuesday. Even though Richard Rhiel, director of the Admissions Office, hassaid he wished faculty members would accompany him on his visits to other high schools andcommunity colleges, Milton Krieger of the liberal studies department said the coalition is against it."Visiting by faculty off-campus takes time away from our jobs. We don't have a lot of time for that,"Krieger said. Instead of traveling, the coalition decided at their meeting Monday to concentrate on"bringing people to our turf," Krieger said. Teachers at community colleges, high schools and gradeschools will be asked to visit Western's campus for educational conferences, which used to be apopular method of university promotion, Krieger said. The other main recruiting method will be to makesure the administrative members of the Enrollment Management Committee, who do travel, have "theright material in their hands." This "material" will include information on Western's programs suppliedby faculty to the Enrollment Management Committee. Krieger said the coalition is working closely with the enrollment committee and he is attending its meetings. As far as retaining students, the coalition is trying to reform the advisement of new students and shrink the size of lower division classes, both ofwhich have been classic factors in scaring away freshmen during their first year here. Upper-divisionstudents who have already declared their majors only need to speak with professors in their departments when in need of advisement. But freshmen are forced to meet with faculty they probably don't know and who are ignorant of the students' fields of interests. The five coalition subcommittees will presenttheir ideas to the rest of the faculty at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Arntzen Hall 100. AS job applications nowmore detailed The Associated Students Board of Directors approved the use of a more detailed jobapplication form and discussed other aspects of its employment policies at its meeting Monday. Theboard also heard reports on higher education legislative bills and the Non-Academic Review Committeefinal report. The Associated Students job application form now includes questions on the applicant's"race/ethnic origin," handicaps and veteran status. The form emphasizes these answers are for statisticaluses only and will have no bearing on the application. Sections on "employment history" and a "skillsinventory" are mandatory, however. The Associated Students is attempting to develop an employmentpolicy outlining the rules by which AS employees will operate. Tracy Kenney, AS personnel manager,said she almost has completed revised job descriptions for the Associated Students. The board alsocalled on Western's Board of Trustees to adopt a sexual harassment policy. "It's a policy that's needed,"AS President Mark Murphy said. AS Legislative Liaison Brad Hendrickson told the board the billrequiring proof of selective service registration for men aged 18 to 22 before they can enter statecolleges and universities is not expected to pass in Olympia. Hendrickson listed other bills beingconsidered by the Legislature, including one that will exempt military personnel and their families, as well as part-time faculty members, from paying out-of-state tuition. The Legislature will contemplateimplementing a "grandfather clause" that will exempt students with residency status from meeting newresidency requirements. The Legislature also is expected to consider "balanced" reciprocity withOregon, Idaho and British Columbia. Hendrickson said a "grandfather clause" for B.C. students enrolledunder the previous reciprocity law also is being considered. Under such a clause, B.C. students pay thesame tuition as state residents. 10% Carriage QLvabt Brpcleaner* Q/ Discount for OWWU STUDENTS in the Bellingham Mall 676-0205 JOIN THE FUN [ "Nuts To You Tuesday' LNuts Bolt PartiCOMPUMENTAHY HAPPY HOUR FOOD j YL\GY\ 1 UCSQaV GET ACQUAINTED WITH OUR HAPPYHOUR 4.00 TO 6:00 PM MONDAY THKU FRIDAY FEATURING THE BEST sa 9:00 p.m. til closingSpecial Prizes For Matching Couples MEET OLD FRIENDS MAKE NEW FRIENDS MEET THEFRIENDLY CREW!

In case of nuclear disaster, run to nearest lecture hall By Lauri Ann Reed In case of nuclear waror natural emergency, Western students should take refiige in one of the 19 campus bomb shelters,labelled with the yellow and black signs. Civil Defense Co-ordinator in Whatcom1 County Bill Bennettsaid the campus has nineteen of the 107 bomb shelters in the county and they are equipped with water,first aid kits and carbohydrates. Bennett said Western's buildings will be in good shape in case of war or another emergency because of the thickness of the building constructions, and non-windowed areas. "What stops radiation is mass. It doesn't matter what kind of mass. The denser the mass, the lesschance of being affected by radiation," he said. Bennet said as buildings were built on campus, the state evaluated them for safety. During the early 60s, emergency services put water barrels, crackers andcandy in all the shelters. Two years ago, the state said the crackers were unhealthy and the county'ssupply was auctioned off. Now the provisions are kept in attics and storage rooms around campus. "Allour shelters on campus are BEWARE 1984 is only 330 days away The Domestic Dialogue Young Wife — Why don't college students come to The Flame Tavern? Old Husband — Most college studentsare white. Young Wife — But we have the best selection of music in town. Old Husband — Yes.Young Wife — We have free soup Old Husband — Yes.

Holly located in the middle ofthe buildings that were rated as safe by a state inspector. The distance and mass would matter incase of radiation," he said. In case of a nuclear war, the emergency services would sendannouncements to all local television and radio stations. The location of the shelters would beannounced on the air to the public. "We would urge people to bring important documents, a food supply, anything that appeals to common sense," Bennett said. Western would be fairly safe, Bennett said.The campus has an adequate water supply, a food supply in the commissary and heat in the buildings."The remainder of the county isn't quite as well-equipped as the college. All we can do is try ^and advisepeople to build safer buildings," Bennett said. Bennett said most dormitories are safe, except those onsouth campus, and dining halls were designed with the thick walls and slanted constructionnecessary for safety. Campus security will direct people to the 19 shelters on campus in case offallout. Buildings protected from fallout are: Old Main, Wilson Library, Arts/Tech Building, Carver Gym,Haggard Hall, Viking Commons, Viking Union, Bond Hall, Edens Hall, Nash Hall, Mathes Hall,Performing Arts Building, College Hall, South Academic Building, Lecture Halls, Old National Guard Armory, Commissary, and Utility Tunnels West and South. One location for the shelters, the utilitytunnel, is unknown to many students. One mile long, the tunnel runs from Miller Hall to Fairhaven undercampus and is over six feet high. In College Hall, for example, seven water barrels, seven first aid kitsand seven barrels of candy are in the building's attic. The building is designated to • hold 165 peoplein its bomb shelters, the basement and lower hallway. Campus Maintenance Director Walt Springer,the campus' contact to emergency services, said most people don't know where the shelters are orhow they were labelled. "We don't build shelters. We simply label which buildings would be safe in thecase of war," Springer said. "A student should basically know what shelters are there," Bennett said.Irish Coffee, Spanish Coffee, * •» CQ Coffee Nudge Baileys, Grand Mariner, $1.95 Blueberry Tea."Well Specials" $1.25 - Specialty Blends $1.95 Party Snacks too!

Western should be more concerned with how it deals with demandsplaced on it, Ross said. Ross told the trustees that he has instructed Executive Vice President JamesTalbot to prepare a document proposing rules and policies enabling Western to postpone actions suchas eliminating faculty. It's impossible, Ross said, to know the number of faculty Western will be able tosupport until the state Legislature makes the decision. Gov. John Spellman has proposed to theLegislature that Western be budgeted for 422 full-time equivalent faculty members for next year. Rosssaid he appreciates the hard work the academic review committee put into the report. "I'm proud ofthem," Ross said. "I think what they did was a very difficult task." Reductions of programs were notmentioned in the meeting, but afterward Ford said that decision would be made depending on enrollment next year. Ford added he would work hard to increase enrollment. A report on the recommendation'smade by Ross will be submitted to the trustees for its March meeting. Included in the report will berecommendations based on the Non-academic Review Committee's proposals and the public hearingson that report. Board OKs harassment policy • BOARD, from page 1 charges. The policy's intent isto deter harassment rather than just punish offenders, Copeland said. In another matter, Ross toldtrustees that Western has received less money per full-time student equivalent than Eastern and Central in academic and non-academic services. Gov. John Spellman has proposed Western be given $7,259per fulttime student equivalent, while recommending Eastern receive $7,776 per full-time studentequivalent and Central, $8,171 per the full-time equivalent, according to figures released by Ross. "Ihope each of you on the board carry this (the list of figures) in your coat pocket and when you're talkingto people, you can always take it out and say, 'Look right here,' " Ross said. Besides the president'sperspective, yesterday's meeting was marked by gratitude. Trustees thanked Executive VicePresident James Talbot for serving as acting president this school year. Everyone gave Talbot a gooddose of applause. After trustee action yesterday, the South Academic Building now is Parks Hall, inhonor of a couple who put their property in an irrevocable trust for Western. Upon the death of MaynardParks, his property at Lake Samish— valued at $750,000—will go to Western. Comment sought ondraft/aid rules Photo by Kris Franich Early Wednesday morning an unknown artist transformed the drabbrick of Red Square to a vibrant art gallery. The artist is gone but the legacy lives oh. . , • COMMENT,from page 1 clearly why he couldn't verify his registration. Any action taken in a hearing would pertainstrictly to determining a student's eligibility for student aid, and not his compliance with SelectiveService laws, the proposed rules say. Student aid officials stress that the public comment period is to beused to discuss how the proposed rules should be implemented, not to challenge their constitutionality.The rules will put into effect an amendment, signed into law last Sept. 8, to the Military SelectiveService Act. The amendment has become the target of a lawsuit in Minnesota and the threatenedtarget of other court challenges.

Bicycle traffic and parking regulations that currently are in effect are included inChapter 13 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC). The purpose stated in the code is to "prevent unsafe use and/or unsafe parking of bicycles," but only parking regulations are included in thechapter. The Parking and Transportation Committee is reviewing all traffic and parking regulations forWestern. Transportation and Parking Manager Dorothy Telles said, "None of us had enoughknowledge on bicycles. We want to know how the cyclist thinks, and how he wants to be regulated."In a meeting Monday the subcommittee discussed state and city traffic codes to use as a pos-sibleguide for its own recommendations. Subcommittee member John Browne, a public safetyrepresentative, said that roadways bordering campus are subject to state codes, but the "grounds at large" are unregulated. He suggested that if the state or city codes were to be adopted for use atWestern, the wording also would have fo be adjusted to include the campus grounds. Glick said thesubcommittee doesn't yet know what it will recommend, but hopes to start 'making decisions at the next meeting at 9 a.m. Monday in Viking Addition 460. Winter Quarter Blood Drive Wed.

Opponents of the November initiative warned an immediateremoval of the food tax would create fiscal disaster—more budget reductions, followed by more taxes.The argument went that the food tax will come off June 30 anyway, and an immediate removal wouldmean the loss of between $40 million and $200 million in revenue for the state. The initiative caught thevoters between a regressive tax and the threat of losing some basic human services provided by thestate. The voters chose to help the financial health of the state by defeating the initiative and agreeing topay the food tax until the end of June. Before the election, Charles Fox of the political sciencedepartment said the voters should send a message to Olym-pia that Washington citizens would nottolerate such a regressive tax by passing Initiative 435. Fox warned the Legislature could choose toextend the food tax past June. After all, they had slapped the tax back on several years after the voterspassed an initiative repealing it. Now Fox's words return to us as the House Ways and Means committee considers House Bill 215. The bill, introduced by Rep. Jim Lewis (R-Yakima), if passed, would extendthe food tax until July 1, 1985. The act reads in part: "This act is necessary for the immediatepreservation of the public peace, health, and safety, the support of the state government and its existingpublic institutions." We thank Rep. Lewis for recognizing the difficulties facing the state, and we thankhim for proposing a solution. Extending the food tax, however, is the most insensitive proposal made in Olympia this session. A food tax is a horrible concept the voters rejected once and recently agreed tosubmit to only temporarily for the long-term health of the state. An extension of the food tax wouldincrease the distrust citizens have toward the Legislature. The food tax places a disproportionate share of the burden on low-income families. The lower the income the heavier the burden, unless the poor rely onfood stamps and food banks. The only fair food tax would be a graduated food tax. The richer pay thehigher percentage. Imagine the administrative problems with a system such as that—it would be absurd. But no less absurd than the current tax. Cut weapons, not pay Secure in the knowledge that highunemployment and high tuition limit other opportunities for many, the Reagan administration has decidedto pinch pennies at the expense of the serviceman and his or her family. Under pressure to reduce thedefense budget, President Reagan decided to place a one-year freeze on military pay during the 1984fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. In response to that short-sighted policy, Sen. John Tower (R-Texas)recently introduced a bill that would give most members of the military a four percent increase. Thewillingness to invest in every major project the Pentagon churns out, while freezing the pay of the menand women who run them symbolizes a dangerous materialism on the part of Reagan. A freeze in paywill hurt morale and trained personnel will be hired away by the private sector. That means the fellowsbehind those vain weapons of destruction may be unskilled and discontent. At the same time, somePentagon officials grumble about the quality of recruits in the all-volunteer army. The solution is a draft,some say. Evidently, their philosophy toward personnel is to get the best at the least cost. Too bad thisattitude doesn't flow over to their philosophy toward weapon systems. The attitude there seems to be any weapon at any cost as long as the "defense contractors can make some money.

And it gets worse, like a tedious joke told in poor taste. Reagan's budget proposes to save money by imposing six-month cost-of-living delays for Social Security, supplementalincome for those who require more than Social Security, railroad retirement, veterans' compensation and pentions, food stamps and child nutrition. On top of that, federal civilian and military employeesreceive one-year pay freezes; agriculture programs would be. slashed by $10 billion; and Medicare-Medicaid would be mutilated ... pardon me, "reformed." Medicare for the elderly would lose $22 billion,and Medicaid for the poor would be cut by $28.5 billion (in the next five years). In addition, the HealthResources and Services Administration would lose $226 million, while Public Health Service Programswould be shaved by $90 million. Granted, not everything would be butchered. Pre-school Head Start, law enforcement, the National Science Foundation and even college work-study programs are a few of the areas that would receive modest funding increases. Whoopee. The big winner, however, would be thealready bloated defense budget. Reagan wants to heap another $30 billion on the spending pile, raising it to $239 billion in 1984. Another $39 billion increase is sought for the following year. Reagan hasreportedly said that he will not compromise on his proposed increases in this area. Besides, earlier thismonth Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger claimed that $8 billion has already been stripped fromthe proposal. Good job, Caspar. As it is, the planned defense allotment would be a 14.2 percentincrease above the current spending level. But the Pentagon points out that military expenditures for1984 would amount to only 7.8 percent of the gross national product, as compared to 8.3 percent in1970. That may be true ... but we were involved in a little dispute called the Vietnam War at the time.Fortunately, all of this is just a proposal — for now. But what really disturbs me is Reagan's apparentdisregard for the people who put him in office. He seems to be placing more value onan endless series of dol- Readers9 opinions Prof surprised Western Front: Please allow me to correct several remarksattributed to me in your front page article "Program closure discussed", (Jan. 21). I would not quibblewith the first point if the issues were not so sensitive, but in fact, I was surprised at therecommendation to' totally eliminate the dance program. I did tell your reporter that at a meeting withthe faculty of the College of Fine Performing Arts on Jan. 18, President Ross said something to theeffect that he thought that the IPRC recommendations probably contained few surprises. Your articlealso attributes to me an assertion that the department had discussed the posibil-ity of the danceprogram being eliminated. The department has never conducted any such discussion and I cannotimagine what I might have said to convey such an impression. The article goes on to say that I madeobservations about" the dance program being "under fire" in 1973. I know nothing about such an attackby any committee, "ad hoc" or otherwise at any time, although I do recall mentioning to your reporterthat the art department lost several faculty positions in the '73 Reduction in Force. I covered a lot ofground in the interview, and rather than impugn your reporter, I will accept responsibility for not making myself clear on these points at that time. A final word concerning my accurately reported commentsthat touch on the physical education department. lar signs and figures, rather than on the citizens who ---------- Western Front - 1983 February 4 - Page 5 ---------- Perceptions Friday, February 4, 1983 Victims of drunk drivers Appalled by needless deaths, thesestudents are fighting back • This is the first in a two-part series about students and drunken driving.Tuesday the articles will be about current legislative proposals and the student organization to fightdrunken driving. By Laurie Jervis Brian Wilson was critically injured three years ago when a drunkendriver hit his car head-on. Cynthia Olsen's boyfriend was killed in 1980 when a drunken driver hit himhead-on after crossing a freeway divider. Brian Rick's younger brother Don was killed last year whenstruck by a hit-and-run driver while changing a tire on Interstate-5. The tragedy these Western studentsexperienced still lingers. The three want to alert others about the waste of drunken driving. Rick, 19, said although it wasn't proven that the woman who killed his brother was drunk, she didn't admit to theaccident until three days later. That circumstance led Rick to form an official chapter of the nationalorganization S.A.D.D.—Students Against Drunk Drivers. Rick said he and his brother had some of thesame friends, and "they were concerned. Our age group causes most of the drunken driving accidentsand also is most affected," he said. "I haven't been pushing (S.A.D.D) membership." Rick said he firstwants to know all the statistics on drunken driving, and has been gathering information and talking withothers. "How widespread is it?," he asked. "I have to make sure we're knowledgeable enough to helpothers," Rick said. The woman who struck and killed Don Rick was "weaving along 1-5 and witnesseswere afraid to pass her," Rick said. "After the accident, she ditched the car and didn't turn herself in untilthree days later." The woman was charged with felony hit and run. She is serving a six-month sentencein the Whatcom County jail, is on five years' probation and was ordered by a judge to pay $50 to a crimevictim's fund, Rick said. Students should know about the severity of the drunken driving problem, he said. "Every 21 minutes someone is killed by a drunken driver. This is really unfair and unnecessary." "Wehave the power to change attitudes and laws," he said. Rick said although S.A.D.D. consumes a lot ofhis time, "to me it's worth it." Rick emphasized that he and S.A.D.D. are not against drinking but "we just don't want you to drink and drive." The practice of combining both is built into our society—we drive toand from parties, he said. "There's Photo by Curt Pavola Brian Rick, Cynthia Olsen and Brian Wilson:fighting the drunken driver no reason to do it, except (driving is) most convenient." Wilson, 24, read aboutS.A.D.D. in a newspaper story on Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (Rick's mother is Whatcom County'scoordinator of M.A.D.D.). Now Wilson helps Rick with the student organization. Three years ago,Wilson and three others were returning to Washington after spending spring break in California. On 1-5near Woodland, California, a drunken driver entered the wrong side of the freeway from an exit ramp. Hehit their car head-on, Wilson said. Two of the passengers weren't injured, but Wilson and the driver, hisfriend Dave Giles, both suffered head and facial injuries. Wilson's hip was dislocated. "I woke up inintensive care," he said. After a month in a California hospital, Wilson was flown to Tacoma, where hespent another monthjiospitalized. Wilson said the impact of his head against the car's dashboardfractured his skull. He had two plastic surgery operations to mend the damage to his face. Wilson nowappears fully recovered. Giles remains "disfigured" after 20 operations to repair facial damage, and "hestill is not done (with surgery)," Wilson said. The drunken driver was a 21-year-old illegal alien fromMexico, Wilson said. He was jailed in California for one year, then deported to Mexico. This was hissecond drunken driving accident, Wilson said. When asked about his attitude toward the driver, Wilsonsaid "I resent his action, not him. The accident was harder on my family than on me." Giles' parents were quite bitter, he said. Wilson said although he did drink while in high school, the accident changed hisattitude toward liquor. Like Rick Wilson said he is not against consuming alcohol. "Each person has anindividual right to drink," he said, "but this is lost when you get behind the wheel of a car." Wilson saidhe and Rick want to help people "think through" their actions before driving when drunk. People need to be aware of the medical facts and statistics on alcohol, he said. Wilson wants those who drink to"underestimate" their (physical) limit. "Everyone wants to think I can do it,' " he said. Wilson and Ricktalked to students at both Bell-ingham high schools about their experiences. Along with a BellinghamHigh School health teacher, the two drew up sample contracts encouraged by S.A.D.D. In thesecontracts, kids agree to call their parents if they ever have too much to drink. The parents agree to gettheir kids and not harass them at that time. The initial reaction of some high school students they talkedto was "no way," Wilson said. Some of those who did drink didn't want to ask their parents to drive themwhen they were too drunk. Most parents, however, would rather retrieve their drunken child from a partythan in pieces from the street, Wilson said. While Wilson was recovering at home after his release fromthe hospital, he experienced a tragic "irony" He read about the death of a friend, Martin Bauman, whowas killed by a drunken driver in an accident similar to Wilson's. The drunken driver crossed the freewaydivider and hit the other car head-on, Wilson said. "I remember thinking 'this is incredible,' " he said.Cynthia Olsen, 21, was Bauman's girlfriend at the time he was killed. She said lots of people are willingto risk driving while drunk and they shouldn't. "If you care, you won't drive drunk—look at reality andother people." "I wouldn't want others to go through what I went through," she said. Olsen said shewants S.A.D.D. to emphasize it is socially OK not to drink and drive, and to give alternatives. A lightersentence often is given when a minor is charged with possession of alcohol or drunken driving. But"higher on the scale" is a drunken driver who kills someone, Olsen said. The charge usually is negligenthomicide or manslaughter. Brian Rick "personally feels drunk drivers eventually will be caught." It used to be if you just looked out for yourself while driving, you would be OK. But now drunken drivers come outand get you, and it's not safe, he said. "If you're lucky you'll get a DWI. If unlucky you'll pull a body fromunder your car, or scrape your girlfriend's face off the windshield," Rick said. "Those who are left behindhave nothing but pain."

The infamous Taylor Street stairs. Aerobics three times a week. A comprehensive weight trainingprogram and, of course, the ergometer—a simulated rowing machine. That's just a taste of whatWesterns' men's and women's crew teams have been up to since mid-December. With only 12 returnees in a field of 38, Ron OkUra, the women's coach, would seem to be in a difficult position, but theseason seems to be shaping up quite well for the women rowers. "We're about two weeks ahead of theschedule I had planned," Okura said. He added that novice team members have a "fair amount ofexperience" and are fitting in well. The crew season begins for the men and women March 27 at theUniversity of British Columbia in Burnaby, B.C. With so many beginners, the women can be choosyabout the rowers on the novice boat and Okura said he feels Western will be strong in that division. FilLeanderson, the coach of the men's crew, said they are in about the same boat as the women with quite a few new and inexperienced members aboard this season's team. But like Okura, Leanderson isoptimistic about the upcoming season. He said the men are showing signs that their performance levelwill be high once competition begins, and they too are ahead of their schedule. "We're going OK. We'rebetter now than we were at this time last year," Leanderson said. Both coaches gave partial credit forthe good start to 2 of Western's newest crew members, the ergometers. Okura predicted that in a yearor two, having one of the machines available for training will probably determine the success of ateam's season. Viking oarsman Tyler Meyers hones his stroke on one of Western's two new ergometers. Ergomania sweeps Vike crew By Pam Helbei-g Erg. It's not a prehistoric form of communication butrather a scientifically 'measured unit of work. ' Ergometers, therefore, measure work—specifically the work being done by Western's men's and women's crew teams. Ergometers are stationarycontraptions designed to help rowers work on their strokes and get in shape. Two of them can befound at the east side of Carver Gym, and nearly everyone familiar with the machines is calling theman invaluable addition to the crew program here. Prior to the beginning of the 1982-83 school year,Western purchased two ergometers at $500 apiece. Western's men's Crew Coach Fil Leandersoncalled them the best training device available for the price. Some ergometers, or "ergs" as they areaffectionately called, sell for as much as $2,000. The advantages of the ergometers are numerous.They aid coaches in teaching and training while the athletes reap the benefits of conditioning. The ergs measure how much power a rower is putting into each stroke, how smoothly the strokes areexecuted, how far the rower rowed, the number of strokes per minute and when a stop watch is added, the time consumed in rowing a specified distance. The ergs allow the coaches to immediately stop and correct athletes if their rowing form is incorrect. If the crew member is in a boat with the coach 50 yards away, an immediate response would be impossible. "There's not a coach alive that can walk on thewater," Leanderson quipped. Ergs are advantageous when weather conditions are unfavorable.Rather than spending time and energy getting to and from a lake to struggle through cold wintermorning workouts, the crew team can work out in the warmth and comfort of the.gym. Ergs offer theathletes quality rowing time, comparable to that of actually being in a shell on the water. That's whyergometer use. is widespread on the East Coast where ice and other weather conditions make openwater rowing impossible.

Farce (fars)n. a play, light in tone, in which the plot dependsupon a situation rather than character. The Bellingham Theater ' Guild's production has two exceptionsto this description: the situation depends on the character, and no one ever seems to sleep in theserooms. "Bedroom Farce" runs like a two-hour television situation comedy, minus commercials andpretext. The arena is a volatile three-ring circus, four diverse couples tangle themselves in maritalinterplay within three equally distinctive bedrooms, invading each other's slumber, furnishings andoccasionally the wrong spouse. An excellent cast, an inventive set and a frenetic pace keep the playfrom melting into banal "Three's Company"-ish drivel. The characters seemed to have been assembledfrom Neil Simon plays: the familiar, lovable losers forced to interact while aggravating, and in the end,comforting each other in their troubles. And like Simon's characters, they Delia (Marjorie Davenport) andErnest (Bob Corcie) have a nightcap the Bellingham Theater Guild's production of "Bedroom Farce."come armed with some deadly one-liners. The central couple, Trevor (Mark Reece) and Susannah'(Christine Kienast) have their share of problems. Trevor is a self-proclaimed "destroyer of people"—heincludes among his victims Susannah, who constantly tries to reassure herself that she is attractiveand desirable. Adding to both their complications is Trevor's former girlfriend Bellingham Herald: KirkDozier of sardine sandwiches in Jan (Julie Kratzig), now married to the irritable and bed-ridden Nick(John Jamesson). When Trevor encounters Jan at the party of Malcolm (Carl Cary) and Kate (HelenFarias), another pair suffering a sexual crisis, the bedroom merry-go-round begins. The performers areuniformly charismatic, highlighted by the performances of Bob Con-cie and Marjorie Davenport asTrevor's parents, Ernest and Delia. They have to deal with a thoroughly disoriented daughter- in-law inthe middle of the night, as well as a son who is keeping two other households awake with his maritalproblems. Their chemistry is engaging. The ingenious set, consisting of three bedrooms, was designedby Deborah Taylor, who co-directs the play with her husband Lee. By shifting the action from one roomto the other with lighting, the play maintains a consistently frenzied pace. "Bedroom Farce" is not anenlightening character study, nor 1 does it contain a moral message. But for someone who wants tolaugh at the foibles of human nature and the trials of matrimony, this is the play to see. "BedroomFarce" continues its run at 8:15 tonight and tomorrow night at the Bellingham Theatre Guild. A matineeperformance is scheduled for 2:15 Sunday afternoon. Tickets are $3, $1.50 for stu- - dents and seniorcitizens.

The play, like the movies "Harold and Maude" and "The World According to Garp," has an underlying message withan unusual way of bringing it out. The violence takes this play out of the conventional norm. It may .shock a few people, but it will get them to think. The play, about a man trying to deal with an experience that he blocked out, is a memory play with its main setting in a mountain cabin just above a smallMidwestern town. Schelonka said the play deals with the delicate balance of love and hate peopleexperience in friendship. Danny, the main character, fights to create a reality he can live with out of thefragmented distortion around him. Schelonka wrote "Transmutations" as his creative thesis for themaster's program. "The theatre/dance department is actively involved in fostering talent not only inacting and directing but in play writing also," Schelonka said. "The department affords the liberty toengage in a project of this nature and magnitude. It is unique because of pursuing development in theplaywright's talents." "The play is totally produced by students," director Bob Hughes said. "From thecast, stage crew, settings, costumes, filming to the lighting, it's all done by students. There was verylittle departmental intervention," Hughes said. The play is being filmed during one evening performanceand will be entered in next year's American College Theater Festival's competition for original scripts. Mark Greenblat, who is in charge of the filming of the play, said this is one of the first times studentswill get the chance to get some practical experience outside of class. "Thanks to Perry Mills, of thetheatre/dance department, who was willing to sign out equipment for student use," Greenblat said. BobHughes said, "This is a very heavy show because of the vio- Members of the cast of "Transmutations"rehearsing lence. We want to take the audience to the edge with this show." The three actresses in theplay went to Sehome High School to try to get more depth for their characters. The actors andactresses had a special workshop for the violent scene to keep from hurting each other. Colette Ogle,who plays Megan, said because her character is "nice" it is hard to do on stage. "I've got a lot of energyand it's hard to pull that in and keep the character honest, kind of dumb in a naive way. There is a realnaivete in Meg's character. You have to go for all the depth you can. "Sometimes there is a clashbetween the director's view of the character and the actor's, but Bob is usually right," she said. JimWood, who portrays Danny, said it was easy for him to identify with the "All-American Boy" image. "It'seasy because that was high school for me." He said the hardest part of getting the character wasworking with the director on the interpretation of Danny. "I was looking at it from a personal point ofview and he saw the show overall. When you look at it in an overview his idea was better." AndyPaterson, Billy, says his character was not a big problem. "At first I didn't like it, the play, because ofthe violence. It's really, really powerful. It's hard to watch and get into Billy and out of me." Now he saidhe likes the play for the director and the company. "Hughes is really good to work with," he said. "It's agood chance to work in something I don't like. The violence, for me, is hard to accept morally."Transmutations" will be performed at 7:30 tonight, Saturday and Sunday in the Performing ArtsCenter lab theater. 199. Admission is free. Stay home from ballet, watch T. V. State of the Arts I maynot know the theater, ballet or opera, but I do know my television. I know who shot J.R. Ewing. I knowwho really was Fallon Car-rington's father. I know who killed Peter Campbell. I know every single episode of Star Trek within three seconds of the introduction and. I know that Ryan O'Neal once acted on "Leave It to Beaver." To put it bluntly, I know my stuff. But not many others do. As long as I can remember,television watchers like myself have been misunderstood. When I was nine, my mother sold all our TV trays in a garage sale. When I was ten and eating on the carpet, she stopped buying TV dinners. Thenight the mystery of Peter Campbell was to be solved, the very night we would find out whether Benson,Jessica, Chester or Conine had committed the murder, my parents had the nerve to move to a newhouse. I was left in an empty house with a sleeping bag in front of the television because I finallyconvinced them they just didn't have their priorities straight. I don't know when I became addicted totelevision. It seems as long as I can remember I have been sitting with my legs crossed and my facepressed against the tickling screen. I used to go to the Sears store down the road and sit, captivated, for hours in the amazing presence of thirteen different versions of television. Ah, those were the days. And I remember the conflicts. A couple of years ago, my sister was planning to be married, but I couldnot believe she scheduled the date and time exactly the same as the annual airing of "Wizard of Oz."My brother had a football playoff at the same time as the National Basketball Association playoffs. Mydad always seemed to schedule my doctor, eye and dentist appointments during "Get Smart" slots. Allthe classes I am required to take fall between two and three p.m. Since I won't miss "General "Hospital," I don't do so well on tests. What about this so-called "culture?" Why anyone would tell me to view asymphony, with a bunch of old people blowing on pieces of wood, when I could be sitting in my ownroom watching "Hart to Hart" is beyond me. As far as books go, I read once in a while. I have read all the TV Fa)c books and TV movie list books and I find them very intriguing. Don't think I haven't experienced diversity? I also have read biographies on Sonny and Cher, Farrah Fawcett and Andy Rooney. So,you ask, what is the problem? This girl has a perfectly normal perception of what is good and sheseems very happy. The problem is the people who are narrow-minded and ignorant enough tomisunderstand me. The problem is manufacturers who make Oreos in such crin-klingly loud wrappingthat I miss the dialogue when I reach for a double stuff. The problem is dairy producers who make dipin such low containers, I drop an ounce of . onion dip on my shin when I distractedly carry the FritoLay to my mouth. The problem is friends and family, so uninterested in learning, in gaining well-rounded knowledge, that they have bathrooms, kitchens and recreation rooms that aren't equippedwith televisions. The biggest problem is producers who put news, "60 Minutes," "20/20" and boringshows like that on TV when we could see "Gilligan's Island" or "That Girl" repeats. Don't they know thatTV watchers aren't interested in stuff that is hard to understand? Only one thing confuses me.Whenever I talk about my favorite television character, Ensign Chekov -of "StarTrek," people seem to get confused. Who is this Russian playwright they talk about, anyway?

Gallagher is in charge of NSA at Western as well as holding down aposition as second congressional district representative to the YR's. The Gallagher charges onlyserved to heighten the antagonism from extreme liberals in the student government who feel that some of the conservative leaders have acquired too strong a voice in AS affairs. Gallagher answered the.charges by explaining that the two offices he held were completely separate of one another and thatthe board's declaration was aimed at the policies of the national organization, which were far differentfrom those of Western's NSA. THE DECARATION was made in reference to the political policies ofthe national organization, Gallagher noted. "As outlined, NSA is not designed as a politicalorganization. However, through the extreme efforts of the national executives committee it has become so. And, students who go to the congress Tom And'Little Dickie' Smothers Duo Here Oct. 14 DICKHEDGES, Western socialite, hands $2.50 tola "Smothers Brothers" ticket seller for two tickets to theevent, scheduled for Oct. 14 in the Carver Gym. —some of which are appointed and some of which .areelected—• go on campus issues, yet vQte on national political issues," the executive vicepresident said. "They have no right to do this as representatives "of . the - stu? dents' views becausethey have not been elected on that basis. If they had been, the organization could then be said to betruly representative of the American college student., "As it is now, they issue declarations in thename of all college students — students who in reality^tteve^^ the organization has been dubbedundemocratic. "THIS IS why AS President Neil Murray, while attending the national NSA meet thissummer, tried to get legislation passed to the effect that NSA representatives be elected on nationalpolitical issues, not on local campus issues. ••-•-•••• "His efforts failed, but we still hope to eventually see the day when NSA will be a truly democratic organization," Gallagher added.By Jeanie Smart The popular Smothers B r o t h e r s will appear, on Western's campus a t 8 p . m.Oct. 14 in Carver Gyjrina-sium. The Smothers Brothers recommend that you "Think ethnic" and MikeBoring, program'.vice president, recommends that you get your tickets now as over half have alreadybeen sold; Tickets are on sale at $1.25 in the foyer of the Viking Union. The brothers got their start inSan Francisco at their hometown bistro, "The Purple Onion." It was there that Mercury Recordsdiscovered them and waxed their NSA Questioned At First Meeting By Judy McNickle The possibility of Weste r n ^withdrawing f r om N § ^ , aroused t h e y e a r ' s f i r s t cont r o v e r s y Monday atthe f i r s t meeting of the AS Legislature. Following a r e p o r t b y t he t h r e e executive officerswhich seriously questioned the ability of NSA to honestly represent the viewpoint of American C o l l e ge students legislator George Toulouse raised the question, "Should we withdraw from NSA?"Answering Toulouse was presi- See "LEGISLATURE"—Page 2 first album/ "The Smothers Brothers, atthe Purple Onion." Within weeks after the release of this album their fame had spread far beyond -thecity. - AS A' RESULT of this album, Jack Paar /invited the 'brothers to do a spot on his "Tonight" show.After four appearances Paar said: ~_ -; "I don't know what it is that you fellows have—but whatever it is no one is ever going to be able to steal- it from you." Following their appearance on the Paar show Tomand "Little Dickie" became familiar faces on the Steve Allen show, and later the Garry Moore show.Everywhere t h e , . Smothers Brothers went they found a receptive audience for both their folk-spoofing and serious singing. Since their first album the brothers have added two more* "The Twosides of the Smothers Brothers," which offers one side of cj»m_edyT anyone side of songaccompanied by a full orchestra; and their latest record "Think Ethnic." In private life Dick Smothershas been married for three years and is the father of two-year-old Susan, who twice appeared with himon the Paar show. Tom, until r e c e n t l y a "non-confirmed" bachelor has now given up this status tojoin the married ranks. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, the Smothers Brothers are "bound toplease and captivate even the most difficult to entertain. Razor-sharp satire!" Students To DecideBand's Fate By Cherrie Waiford « "Regardless of what the freshmen say, Western needs a littleclass. The dance band can supplement our lack of culture." ''The faster the beat, the more incentivethere is to dance. More students dance at mixers when the rock and roll bands play." These statements represent the results of a student opinion poll taken recently concerning the music employed at thecollege mixers. • • * Most upper classmen, as illustrated by Ken Geary, vice president ofthe Young Democrats, are for the dance band. Geary believes the dance band provides a little of theclass that he feels is lacking at Western.,As a doorman at last year's dances, he pointed out thatmore damage, broken windows, mirrors, and stolen articles, were a result of the dances where themusic was provided by a rock and roll band. Sue Hausle, a senior, credits the lack of upper classmenattending the dances to the presence of rock and roll bands. "You really can't get to know Rock-n-Roll? someone when he is six feet away." • " • • • "Too many kids were standing aroundand left early because they weren't dancing," is the observation by 'one- of the coat check girls; Shefurther states that "rpck and roll dancing seems to isolate some students that can't dance to that form of music, whereas the dance band plays 4 variety of tempos." Many students believe that this type ofdancing and music, leaves'the students "too emotionally worked up," VARIOUS STUDENTS advisedthat the noise was. too intense and should have been controlled more at the rock and roll dances. Thisview was taken by Marta Goldstein, who believes this may also keep students from attending thedances. "The students act like a bunch of high school kids," said Ron Gerde and Don DesJardin, whothink the dance' band would be much better. Bill Williams, a 'junior, is definitely pro-dance band andsays, "The Western dance band is the best in the State. What they're Dance Band? playing is goodmusic and is enjoyed by all but the juvenile thinking in the audience. The rock and roll bands playnothing that the college dance band can't play. The rock and roll dances stem from the fertilizatondances and rituals of the Indian tribes of Africa and South America, and they leave little to theimagination." "D7 THE MAJORITY requests rock and roll-music it is their right to have, it, but whydon't we try and change the majority to a majority having a little culture and taste? With the presentattitude of the students in this institution, I. shudder when I think of what examples we, as futureteaehers, will set when we get out into our respected positions as teachers of America's youth." •'. • ; * • - . "I came-to college to make a few changes. We are not exposed to good music in highschool; and when students get out of school, they don't know how to dance. The dance band provides an opportunity to develop our tastes See "DANCE BAND"—Page 3 ---------- Collegian - 1963 October 4 - Page 2 ---------- PAGE TWO THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1963 Murray Plans To Start Student Tutor Society P l a n s to set u p a student t u t o r society to provide f r e e i n s t r u c t i o n to all und e r g r a du a t e s are now und e r way, according to Neil Murray, A.S. president. Murray, who got the idea forsuch a society at the NSA national covention last summer, spoke with enthusiasm as he noted "Thesociety has been tried in over 30 colleges with the result that 83 per cent of those being tutoredpassed their courses." PLANNING TO coordinate the setup with the present departmental and AWStutor program, Murray pointed out that the only HOLLY'S MEN'S SHOP For the best in CAMPUSWEAR 1307 CORNWALL problem,would be to get enough people interested in the possibilities ofsuch a program. "First of all," he explained, "we'll need volunteer upperclass-men with at least 3.0 grade point average interested in providing free instruction to undergraduates, while at the same timesecuring invaluable teaching experience. "Secondly, we'll need worried and sincere underclassmenanxious to improve their scholastic status," he added. "ONCE WE'VE secured these," Murraycontinued, "the society will operate much like an honor society with a regular membership, aconstitution, and awards to be presented at the end of the year." Concluding the interview, Murraynoted, "Everything I've been able to find out about the society has been favorable, and I have high hopesof establishing one here before the end of the year." LEGISLATORS NOEL CIMINO, Mike Boring, MaryWakefield, Bruce Osborne, Ron Holert and faculty advisor Dr. Lawrence Brewster are shown bowing theirheads in deep reflection during Western's first ASB Legislature meeting last Monday.

The problem centers on the policy of theorganizaton to vote on national political issues, even though most of its delegates were elected solely on the basis of campus issues and are therefore not truly qualified to represent the political viewpoints oftheir fellow students. "I think it would be better," he noted, "if the student body officers attended only the pre-congress and delegates elected on the basis of their political views attend the regular session."Shedding a different light on the controversy, faculty advisor Dr. Lawrence Brewster noted that it wasbeneficial for the officers to witness such things for themselves and that they, as elected officials, didrepresent a vast number of American students. As Executive Vice President Terry Gallagher stated, "I don't think we're getting a true cross section of opinion since there is a great deal of control by thenational leaders. In fact" he added "as far as the congress and NSA goes, I don't believe it's quite what it claims to be!" Answering solemnly, Brewster observed, "All national groups speak for theirmemberships even though they do not always represent a poll that might be taken." TURNING TO Amore local topic, the legislators were notified that the Book Store addition, which had been slated to open this quarter, will not be started until spring. Only one bid was received, legislator Dave Moaselpointed out, "and that one was unacceptable so we're still talking to contractors and hoping to haveone on the job soon."

It will be on display through the third week in October. The display is furnished by the Western Association of ArtMuseums and Western is one of the few schools who are members, according to Mike Boring,program vice president. "They are very careful because of the value of their exhibits. This exhibititself is worth several thousand dollars," he added. The paintings in the exhibit are aimed at reflectingthe time in which we live. The society feels that this is a necessary factor if art is to be vital and havemeaning. The paintings in the traveling show were selected from 76 paintings which comprised the 42nd annual exhibition of the society. Among them are "Oil Derricks" by Chester Amyx; "FlowerVendor" by Isauro De La Rosa; "Zone" by Polia Pillin; "This Summer" by Katheryn Truesdell; and"Deserted Pier" by Leonard Paz. A groundless rumor is being spread around campus that a unicorn isbeing kept at Edens Hall. Desolation MONEY FOR THE Bill Burke- Carson Boyson Fire Damage Fundwas being collected by the Director of Student Activities in his office, Viking Union room 101 this week.The drive will continue next week. Burke and Boyson were burned out of their apartment a few daysbefore classes began this quarter. They lost almost everything they owned in the fire, but no injurieswere incurred. Boyson related that he has insurance to cover some of the lost items, but theinspectors and adjusters will be involved in appraising the damage for a long period of time. In themeantime they are nearly destitute. Burke had no insurance. Placement Office Secured Jobs lor 400This Year W e s t e r n graduates will b e able to call upon t he assistance of W e s t e r n ' splacement office and i t s director, F r a n k P u n c h e s , again t h i s year. Punches explained thatthe placement office has a staff of experienced personnel that will help place graduates in variouseducation or business positions. WESTERN'S placement office placed approximately 400 teachereducation graduates last year. About 25 per cent were placed in elementary education positions, andabout 75 per cent in secondary education positions. We expect about the same number in 1964 witha possible increase in the percentage regarding secondary teaching positions," explained Punches."Western's student teaching is done primarily in the two northwestern counties of the state—Whatcom and Skagit. However, some resident student teaching is being done in Everett. Our area inWhatcom and Skagit counties has reached the saturation point for student teachers. We will soon haveto expand this program, to districts such as Edmonds, Shoreline, or even Seattle," he predicted. "In this area there are presently 250 student teachers. There are bound to be more student teachersduring winter quarter and even more during sring quarter," Punches asserted. "Before any graduate isplaced in a good job he must be interviewed by his-prospective employer. Our office acts more orless as the mediator between the interested employer and the prospective employee. That is, we getthem together in a businesslike atmosphere," he explained. "The opening date for educationinterviews is Feb. 1, 1964. This allows the student enough time to have completed most of his major.The reason for the February date is because of our neighboring states' requirements. California schooldistricts, for example, start beating the bushes looking for teachers even before the end of the fallsemester. They schedule visitations to Washington colleges as early as our regulations permit.Their visitations cause many Washington districts to join the run on the bank, which is understandable.Washington school districts don't want to be caught holding the bag without a teacher for everyposition," commented Punches. Shorter Homecoming Slated For November Western's traditional weekof Homecoming will be shorter but more compact according to this year's co-chairmen, Liz Dners andJudy Shaw. Homecoming will begin Nov. 11, with the kick-off assembly and presentation of the queencandidates. In the past the festivities were "~~ NOW! Wed. and Thurs.

Most upperclassmen regard the dances as too wild and emotional when music is provided by a rock and rollband. Several students are willing to give both types of bands a chance to play at the mixers. KathyLindaas, a freshman, admitted that a change would be good as "anyone gets tired of one thing if theylisten to too much of it." GLENDA GRIEGER and Linda Strachan would rather the bands alternate, butprefer the dance band for formals and the rock and roll bands for mixers, which was the general trend inmost cases. Alternating the bands agreed with most persons, including Sue Quant, Carol Smith, andCindy Smetana, freshmen, as well as upper classmen Brian Hunter and Mary Shears. that we canrelease about the Homecoming theme this year ia that it is from the past," Shaw said.

Jarrett's convo- ' cation address to thefreshman class last week seemed a bit out of place for Western Washington State College. Perhaps Dr. Jarrett's mention that he woke up that morning at Harvard University had left a few ivy-coveredcobwebs still hanging in his memory. If we were to accurately place, his convocation speech we might choose Sarah Lawrence College or even Smith, College. Both institutions, are directed at liberallyeducating young women so that, they might, better serve as housewives to future United Statesleaders who may graduate from Harvard or ,Yale. , His affirmation that any Westernite interested inlearning a skill or trade is actually missing the good ship "liberal education" seems to us—way. out of place. When two-thirds of the, stu-dentry at Western are majoring in education and a good percentage of the rest are enrolled, in pre-professional courses, a statement that Western is moving more and more towards a liberal arts college seems to contradict the facts.

The"Fruge" (for you non-partakers) is a form of rock-n-roll dancing made popular, by Herman Fruge. of •Silageville, New-Jersey.

The conference as a whole consisted mostly of speeches and panel discussions which followed. SOME OF THE more prominent speakerswere Francis Kep-pel, U. S. Commissioner of Education,- Frank H.

The author, a Negro, has written several otherbooks, among them "Go Tell It On the Mountain" and "Notes of the Native Son." His literary prowess haswon him a Guggenheim Literary Fellowship and a Ford Foundation Grant-in-Aid. ' • • • TIMEMAGAZINE in an article about the American Negro on May 17, 1963 states that, "James'Baldwin is-not,by any stretch of the imagination, a Negro leader. He-tries no civil rights cases in the courts, preachesfrom no pulpit;1 devises no stratagems for shVins, Freedom Riders or street marchers. He published anessay in 1959 called "Nobody Knows My Name" and four years later, in Birmingham and Harlem, and inall the Birminghams and Harlems in the nation and.the world, most Negroes still do not know his name .. . . Nevertheless/ 'in' theUnltec?'States' today there is not another writer, white or'black, :toho; expl-esses with "THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG with the guys at this school—nobody knows my name." suchpoignancy and abrasiveness the dark realities of the racial ferment in the North and South." With the"Negro problem" today, this book has a special significance. Baldwin states that, "at the root of the Negro problem is the necessity of the white man to find a way of living with the Ne'gro in order to live withhimself." It is not so much the, problem of the Negro but the white man's inability to give the Negro theequality and equality of opportunity that is his right. "Nobody Knows My Name" is a collection of essayspreviously published in several American magazines. "These essays are a very small part of a privatelogbook. The question of color takes up much space in these pages, but the questions of color,especially in this country, operates to hide the graver questions of the self." SITTING IN THE HOUSEThe house could be the United States and Baldwin has discovered, after 10 years of self-imposed exilein France, what it means to be an American. To him it means that as a writer and an intell e c t u a l ^is hot accepted here as he was in Europe., Also it means that everyone has status. "Where everyone has status, it is also perfectly possible, after all, that no one has." In Europe a waiter does not feel anobscure resentment toward an actor who has made it, and the actor is not tormented by thinking thattomorrow he may again be a waiter. Harlem, where Baldwin returned after his European exodus, broughtout a statement on the Negro. "NEGROES WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE MEN. People who havemastered Kant, Hegel,, Shakespeare, Marx, Freud, and the Bible find this statement utterlyimpenetrable. The idea seems to threaten profound, barely conscious assumptions." Apparently the white man is of the opinion that the Negro is not a man or they refuse to recognize the status of the Negroas a man. In the North, states Baldwin, people feel that since they fought on the right side during the Civil War they have the right to deplore what is going on in the South, without taking any responsibilityfor it. Northerners take the self-righteous attitude that the Negro is treated better in the North. But inpractice it is hard to say which is "worse;" the blatant Jim Crow policy of the South or the "not-less-deadly" variety of the North. The white uses the South as a justification for his crimes against the Negroas a man and a race. "This perpetual justification empties the heart of all human feeling. The emptierour hearts become, the greater will be our crimes." IN THE NORTH the Negro is ignored and in the South he is under surveidance, and he suffers in both places and " the South will not change, cannot change,until the North changes. The country will not change until it re-examines itself and discovers what isreally meant by freedom. In the meantime, generations keep being born, bitterness is increased byincompetence, pride, and folly, and the world shrinks around us." The status of the Negro in this countryis described as "not only a cruel injustice but a grave national liability." l Candle Drive-In 100 SAMISHWAY (Formerly MastiVs Drive-ln) Friday an d S atu r d ay October 4 and 5 FREE MILK SHAKE WITHEVERY ORDER OF HAMBURGER A FRENCH FRIES Hours Monday through Thursday . . . . 11 a. m.to 11 p. m, , Friday and Saturday . . in 11 a. m. to l a . m. • Sunday . . . . .T:: . . .

"MARY" IS AN off-Broadway production which was received very well by the critics.According to Paul Waldo, of the Speech Department, the play will probably "be popular in the LittleTheater circuit for many years. It has the appeal of My Fair Lady without the production difficulties."Mary was originally written for a small theater. Western's production is slated for one week running inOld Main Theater.

The House is open daily — Everyone is welcome However,he is unsure as yet whether we will be using two pianos, or one piano and two pianists. . "To someextent the play is a spoof on the musicals of the 1930's especially satirizing the movies of Nelson Eddyand Jeanette MacDonald," Waldo said. "If you're of the '30's you'll smile with nostalgia. If you're of the40's and 50's, as most of the students on this campus are, you'll smile at the ridiculous posturesassumed." The theme, basically, is of Mary—an innocent girl who is about to lose her inn (ColoradoInn) situated in the Rockies. She is the adopted daughter of Chief Brown Bear, (the last vestige of aprogressively declining Indian tribe) who feels that he is the sole owner of the United States. Heeventually saves the inn, and Mary from her dilemma. A counter-plot in the play is that of the foresters,who, according to the musical, "have come to seek out the wild Indians that , are ravaging the forestsof wild 'game and wantonly setting forest fires." The foresters, who open the first act, live at the innalong with Madame Ernestine, a retired opera singer, and the East Chester Finishing School for Girls. The leader of the foresters is big John Warington, and he and Mary eventually fall in love. The play waswritten by Richard Besoyen, It was copyrighted in 1959 but it didn't appear until 1960.

Nusbaum commented, "Too often we think of data processing as only replacingexisting office equipment. It has a much greater impact than that.

It also sorts andcolates cards needed for special purposes or makes reproductions when needed for records. A furtheraddition is the special accounting machine which gathers specific information from data cards andlists it. "WESTERNITES will notice no great change because of the center at first," said Nusbaum. "We must proceed slowly in the venture and get well-trained people for the staff." Commenting on a possibleadverse attitude toward the center, Nusbaum said, "From my own past experience in setting up dataprocessing, many people are apprehensive and fear that their lives will be mechanized. I don't feel that. Everything is planned and operated by us. We have complete control. The only difference is a level ofsophistication and planning that many find hard to accept."

By Sue Wier UCCF's open- forum opened another season Tuesday withJ. Kaye Faulkner, instructor of Economics, and Dr.John J. Hebal, assistant professor of government, discussing the question, "Is Our Government Machinery Still Efficient?" The forum is an informaldiscussion of pertinent topics in which both students and faculty participate. THE PROGRAM for fallquarter 1963 is "The Challenges of Democracy." . Faulkner opened the discussion by stressing theambiguities of the word "efficiency." He felt that it was a word from which' many different meanings could be derived. He said, for instance, that efficiency was too often equated with change rather thanimprovement. "The notion of efficiency is overused by people who want to curtail government goals.There is a need of a "good" goal before the attainment of efficiency '," Faulkner said. Dr. Hebalcompletely endorsed "The Emphasis on Goals!" However, he inquired into- the meaning behind thequestion under discussion, asking such questions as "What Is Meant by 'Our Government'?" (Thatis—local, state or federal) and what part of government machinery is being questioned? Hebal notedthat efficiency could go too far"; as illustrated1 .by the Nazi regime at its height. He stated that theemphasis on efficiency dated far back into Germanic history. • THE QUEST for efficiency, hereiterated, has had a. lengthy history in the U.

He then defined efficiency as "acceptable goals carried out in a way not grosslywasteful." Hebal stressed that "efficiency should not be evaluated by the dollar sign. The human element must enter in. "Imposed efficiency," he said* "is a slippery term" and he went on to cite the rigidmoral standards imposed on teachers in the last century. A lively question period followed the.,speaker's remarks in which many of the spectators participated. The inefficiency in Congress wasbroughtup arid Dr. McAllister threw in a bone of contention when he suggested that perhaps the mostefficient Congress would be the one which passed^very few laws. Another of the spectators, Dr. Mitchell, pointed out that "inaction reflects a groping for efficiency, rather than inefficiency itself."

Southern Press Has Record For Fairness 1. Southern newspapersgenerally are doing a conscientious, thorough, and predominantly fair job of reporting racial news. Theyare conforming more closely to the accepted standards of good journalism than the atmosphere of thetimes or the charges of their critics would indicate. 2. Chief source of the news is the wire services, withsome slight effort to add local interviews or tie-ins, when pertinent. News may be made more or lesssensational, given more or less slant, by the way wire service stories are cut or by the headlines placedabove them. 3. The editorial bias of a paper is more likely to be revealed in the use or non-use of certaininterpretive or color side stories than in the handling of an important event. 4. By-line stories of anewspaper's Washington correspondent or of a local reporter sent to cover a nearby racial news event are more likely to show bias than the principal story, from the wire services. * ' 5. A story of racial news may be pushed out of place by an important local story, such as the session of a state legislature or therunning of the Kentucky Derby. 6. Southern newspapers are not taking advantage of their opportunity to secure color and human interest stories in addition to the principal stories of an event from the wireservices. 7. Display of Negro news, use of Negro pictures, and attitudes toward Negroes as sources ofnews vary widely among Southern newspapers. v 8. Attentive reading of Negro newspapers in the Southwould give Southern readers a very different conception of Negro attitudes, emotions and points of view. 9. Southern newspapers are still unaware of the effect some of their racial stories may have on readersin other countries. 10. Southern newspapers are doing a better job in giving their readers the facts aboutracial events than in revealing their meaning and interpreting the points of view of the people involved.("Racial Crisis and the Press" by Walter Spearman and Sylvan Meyer.)

'When We Walk We Go Naked'FIRST IN A SERIES OF THREE ARTICLES By Dick Simmons How do you convince a man who'sbutting his cigarette on the back of your neck or throwing eggs in your face that integration is rightand that freedom will come only when all men are free? T h e Student Non-Violent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) has sought human rights for the Negro, not on the fringes of segregation, butin the very heart of the race-ruptured south. • • • Founded in April, 1960, in Raleigh, N. C,SNCC now boasts 200 members: 160 Negroes and 40 whites. Volunteers have pledged everything,including their lives, for the goal of a free South. Mary King, 23, a white SNCC volunteer, summed upthe purpose of the organization. "OUR PRIMARY goal is voter registration, so that the Negro canbecome a political force in our government. We try to make a direct assault on the laws that are unjust." Miss King answered criticisms of SNCC's actual use of violence to promote integration by noting that volunteers are trained to endure atrocities and k that violence has come only on the part of police andwhite thugs. "When we walk, we walk naked with only our courage," she said. "All demonstrators areasked to hand in pencils, nail files and anything else that might be construed as a weapon before they demonstrate. We do not fight back, we seek to change a person by changing his conscience." Thecommittee's short history is pock-marked with incidents of courage, injury, hate and violence. On June10, 1963, 60 volunteers walked to the Danville, Miss., jail to protest the arrest of a handful ofintegration leaders. As the demonstrators were beingled in prayer in a small alley outside the jail,two fire trucks blocked the narrow passage and opened hoses on the group. While thedemonstrators were lying on the street, the police beat them with sticks. Forty-seven of the 60 werehospitalized and all had numerous stitches taken. One girl, 16, was treated for lacerations of thebreasts and one man is still in the hospital paralyzed. The Danville police have no record of the incident. • • • AVON ROLLINS, 21, a Negro SNCC leader, noted that nonviolence is difficult, especially when someone kicks you in the groin or puts a cigarette out oh the back of your neck. "I'm going tohave an operation on my back and head. In Danville I passed put twice because of rny ill health," hesaid. "There was a .'J job to 4 gt;e done and I couldh?t take time off for medical attention;- Rollinsrelated his experience at Danville. . "I was taken to an infirmary after I passed out, but the policecame to the place, arrested me and took me over to the city jail. I was so weak I couldn't move. I laythere for eight hours before a doctor came." One SNCC worker, Daniel Foss, is in New York waiting foran operation on a retracted retina, suffered during a demonstration. Foss refused to answer if he waswhite or nigger. Doctors won't know if he will be able to see for about two months. Foss wants toreturn to the movement as soon as he is able. He has three more hours of post-graduate work tocomplete before he will receive a Ph.D. "A few volunteers are hesitant when they first come to us,"Rollins said. "But after their baptism—jail—they have seen the world of the Negro and are determinedto improve that world." (Next week: do it?")

Driver, along with Al Lowenstien, formerpresident of USNSA and author of "Brutal Mandate," discussed South Africa before 200 students at therecent NSA convention, in Bloomington, Ind. "The blacks in South Africa live under oppression that would make the Nuremburg laws look like rules for a children's game/' Lowenstien said. "One out of every 226persons is in a jail, and every non-white is required to carry a passbook even to go down to the cornerstore." One thousand Negroes a day are arrested for not having passbooks. These persons are usually sent to work farms where they serve out their sentences. * • • The South African blacks have noreal civil rights. They can't vote or hold land. Children over the age of 18 are not allowed to live with theirparents, and a native's job is designated for him by the government from the time he is able to work.DRIVER STRESSED the fact that individual students, by enacting resolutions on their own campuses tocondemn the government's minority rule in South Africa, can influence foreign policy and change thehistory of South Africa. "Africans have tried non-violent protest for the past few years without success.,"Driver said. "The revolution has started now, and there will be much bloodshed before it's over." • ••-•':. Lowenstien cited the Sharpville Massacre as one result of non-violent protest. In 1960, 400South Africans protested police brutality by burning their passbooks. The police broke up the protest byshooting 250 Negroes. Seventy-five of them were shot in the back. "The day after the SharpvilleMassacre, the natives refused to work—a criminal offense," Lowenstien noted. "The police went into two African townships and horse-whipped all the men, women and children in retaliation." IN OPPOSITION to the disappearance of a number of Negro leaders, the black South Africans formed a march on Capetown, led by a young student. Thirty thousand marchers frightened the Nationalist Party officials into making afew concessions, but the • . . educating our youth CIVIL RIGHTS for the South African will comesomeday, but now Negroes are forced to live under a European rule which often breeches on thetyrannical and always insists on the dictatorial. day after the protest the young student disappearedand the concessions were never made. "The white liberals will have to work harder in the struggle forfreedom in the United States," Driver said. "Freedom in this country will never exist until everyone is free." Driver said he feels the white liberals in the United States are innocent. "Some people who are black willhave a hard struggle before they can call themselves black and not simply non-white. Negroes must learn to be proud of their race. Many whites will inevitably be hurt when they find themselves excluded fromNegro groups." The Europeans in South Africa constitute the top 25 per cent income group. They attendthe best schools and take over the top positions. The white students are taught racial supremacy in theprimary and secondary schools and after graduation receive military training for nine months. The alreadyrace-oriented students are taught techniques of guerilla warfare in preparation for a South African blackrevolution "WHEN STUDENTS leave the military, the lucky ones go on to Capetown University," Driversaid. "We try to re-orient them through NUSAS." Driver's affiliations have made it impossible for him toreturn to South Africa. He noted that he would probably be placed under house arrest if he went back."Every white citizen is a trained soldier, and even the women carry pistols. The government's answer torevolution is to kill," Driver affirmed. Lowenstien rounded out the talk by discussing the problems inSouthwest Africa. "The conditions are worse. There is no inhibition on the part of the governmentcompared to South Africa. "Southwest Africans don't even have the right to petition; it is a crime to senda letter of complaint." Lowenstien- related the Binta Massacre in Southwest Africa in which 60 nativeswere shot. He said that he felt responsible for it in a way because he had personally advised the blacks to hold a meeting to discuss their objections to being thrown out of their homes to make way forenlargements in the European community. "There are now places that are selling arms to the Africans," Driver said. "The revolution has started and it will be a long one." —Dick Simmons Civil Rights Bill Mr.Kennedy's omnibus Civil Rights Bills of 1963 (S. 1731) is divided into seven major titles. Briefly: •Title I relates to "Voting Rights." It would place elaborate new controls upon the states' constitutionalauthority to fix the qualifications of voters. • Title II relates to "Public Accommodations." It wouldcompel the owner of almost every business establishment in the United States to serve all personsregardless of race. • Title III, relating to the "Desegregation of Public Education," would vestsweeping new powers in the U. S. Commissioner of Education and the Attorney General to deal with"racial imbalance" in the schools throughout the country. • Title IV would set up a new federal agency, the "Corn-unity Relations Service." • Title V, amends all statutes providing financial assistanceby the United States by grant, contract, loans, insurance, guaranty, or otherwise. It would permit such assistance to be suspended upon a finding of racial or religious discrima-tion. • Title VI amends allstatutes providing financial assistance to be suspended upon a finding of racial or religiousdiscrimination. • Title VII authorizes the President to create a "Commission on Equal EmploymentOpportunity," possessed of "such powers as may be conferred upon it by the President" toprevent discrimination under contracts in programs or activities receiving direct or indirect financial assistance from the United States government. This is what the bill is aU about. At first glance,perhaps, many persons may see nothing wrong in the several proposals. In this emotional hour, one istempted to leap from a sincere conviction that discrimination is wrong, to a false conclusion that afederal law is the proper way to prevent it. We do not believe the intensely personal problems of racialfeeling can be solved by any federal law; the roots go deeper than congress can reach. In any event,we believe that whatever might be gained by this particular federal law, if anything the positive harmthat would be done to constitutional government would far outweigh the hypothetical good. We believe this bill is a very bad bill. In our view, the means here proposed are the wrong means. The weapons thepresident would contrive against race prejudice are the wrong weapons. In the name of achievingcertain "rights" for one group of citizens, this bill would impose some fateful compulsions on anothergroup of citizens. The bill may be well-intentioned— we question no man's motivation in supportingit—but good intentions are not enough. In this area, we need good law. And the President's bill, in ourview, is plain bad law. That is perhaps the least that could be said of it. In our judgement, this billviolates the Constitution in half a dozen different ways: It would tend to destroy the states' control oftheir own voting requirements. It would stretch the com- (Continued on page 10) Twenty dollars will be offered to the student submitting the best cover design for Western's telephone book, The Profile.Entries should be submitted by Wednesday to Room 203 in the Viking Union.

It would undermine the most gracious rights of property. Itwould raise grave questions lt;§f a citizen's right to jury trial. . The bill would open new doors to theforces of government regimentation; : And ift the end, because of the violence that would be done towundamental law, Ameri- : cans of every race would suffer equal harm. The emotionalism of thisturbulent summer is largely responsible for the serious attention now given the bill and for theeminent voices raised in its behalf. In a calmer climate, the bill's defects would be readily apparent. Butthis is not a calm time; it is a passionate time, cfiid dispassionate thought cftmes hard. What is hereproposed, in this brief pamphlet, is simply that we sit down and reason together. Those of us whostrongly oppose the bill bfelieve our position is sound, we should/ like to explain this position to you. ;(From "Civil Rights and Legal Wrongs," Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government.)Kennedy Bill: A Force Act STUDENT NON-VIOLENT Committee workers dress like poor Negro laborersin the South. They feel that by assuming the garb of the people they are trying to help they can workmore effectively toward gaining equality for the Negro Race. SNCC's primary goal is voter registration.Students Play Influential Role College students from all sections of our country have played aninfluential role in the racial equality movement. Our concern with this grave and great issue is natural,since it is more than likely that our generation will be direct witnesses to the most crucial changes inthis area of concern. Therefore, all students should be vitally interested in trying to channel civil rightslegislation into the most suitable direction. • • • Then the question is raised— what exactlyis the right direction? Is it strong and precise, or diluted and vague? 6 # ^ Although a great majority of people disapprove of segregation, there remains a large number who wish to water down anycorrection to the problem. President Kennedy has offered a bill which, if passed, would eliminatelegalized discrimination in practically all phases of life. Yet the voice of the loyal opposition has notbeen muted. The primary argument of the dissenters is against the public accommodation provisionwhich would allow Negroes to enjoy equal use of hotels, apartments and motels. With covetousobjections, the doubters say that such a provision would interfere with free enterprise and hamper thefinancial health of our nation's businessmen. • • • It is my personal contention that this typeof argument against the bill merely avoids the real issue. It is quite unrealistic to say that Negroes are equal in some areas, but that certain privileges must be denied them. Any discussion of financial after-effects is immaterial and: secondary in nature. Equality is a total concept. It knows no limitations.These are the terms in which: students must think. Segregation has no future, and to hesitate nowis merely postponing the inevitable.—Neil Murray, AS President. On March 1, 1875, the Congresso£ the United States passed the fourth in a series of force acts directed at the defeated1 South. Thelaw, relating to public accommodations^ generally was regarded as a memorial to* the late SenatorCharles W. Sumner of Massachusetts; who had died the preceding: year. The Dictionary ofAmerican History suggests that in their desire to honor the departed Abolitionist l e a d e r, many ofhis colleagues swallowed their constitutional misgivings. * * * AS EVENTS were to prove, thesemisgivings were quite well founded. The 14th Amendment, which had been more or less ratified in1868, laid certain prohibitions on the states. The states, as states* were not to deny any person equal protection of state laws. But this act of 1875 did not relate to state laws. It undertook to operatedirectly on individual businessmen, by making it a criminal offense for them to discriminate by reason ofrace or color. On Oct. 15, 1883, the Supreme Court of the United States, in an 8-1 decision written byAssociate Justice Joseph P. Bradley, declared the act unconstitutional. • • • Now, a little less than 80 years later; Mr. Kennedy has sent to the Congress a new civil rights bill. In the pattern ofSumner's hard approach to social change, this too is a force bill. It would force the owners of businessestablishments throughout the country to accept all customers, willy-nilly, regardless of their ownwishes, regardless of the effect such a policy might have upon their trade. The language of the two billsis strikingly similar. The Act of 1875 decreed that "Ail persons within the jurisdiction of the UnitedStates shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages,facilities and privileges" of the named establishments. Mr. Kennedy's bill declares that "All personsshall be entitled without discrimination or segregation on account of race, color, religion or nationalorigin, to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages andaccom- , modations" of the named establishments." (From "The Civil Rights Cases," VirginiaCommission on Constitutional Government.) NSA Actiosrs. On Bombing After the recent bombing inBirmingham, Alabama, President Kennedy had this statement to make, "I know that I speak onbehalf of all Americans inexpressing a deep sense of outrage and grief over the killing of the childrenyesterday in Birmingham, Alabama. It is regrettable that public disparagement of law and order hasencouraged violence which has fallen on the innocent. "If these cruel and tragic events can awaken thatcity and the state*—if they can only awaken this entire nations—to. .a realization of the folly of racialinjustice and hatred and violence, then it is not too late for all concerned to unite in steps towardpeaceful progress before more lives are gone. . . "This* nation is committed to a course of domesticjustice and tranquility—and I oall upon every citizen, white and Negro, North and1 South, to putpassions and! prejudice aside and join in this effort." • • • In response to the Birminghamcrisis, Gregory M. Gallow, president: of the United States National Student Association; of whichWestern is a member, sent the following telegram to the President: "The: United States NationalStudent Association strongly urges the federal government to delay no longer in sending troops toBirmingham, Alabama, to protect the lives and I t ' s n o bull—Ennen's has everybody's meat d e p a r t m e n t beat!

"Neither can the lives of thesechildren be restored, nor the lives of others be preserved by expressions of outrage, grief, or regret.

A recent letter fromthe USNSA went on to say: "The Importance of this crisis has not been too heavily stressed. It cannotbe blown up out of proportion." IN THE SAME letter the. USNSA went on to recommend that studentbodies all over the United States unite to promote racial equality. Leading the campaign for racialequality is the University of Illinois. Their program, a vigil' consisting of five minutes of silence from12 noon til 12:05,' is currently in progress at Illinois and 20 other universities throughout the country.They have urged all other schools to organize the same type of program. The USNSA has alsosuggested that student governments make their feelings on the Birmingham crisis known to thePresident, their senators and their local congressmen and to encourage individual students to sendletters and telegrams to these people making their sentiments and desires known. The students atIllinois are also boycotting 10 national corporations which employ over 35 per cent of the workingpopulation of Birmingham, and they have requested financial aid for their program. ---------- Collegian - 1963 October 4 - Page 11 ---------- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1963 THE COLLEGIAN PAGE ELEVEN A SMILING WESTERN CO-ED poses for an Identification Card photograph during registration.

SELLARDS, Minister-Director ---------- Collegian - 1963 October 4 - Page 14 ---------- PAGE FOURTEEN THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1963 Intramural Spotlight The Departmentof Intramural Athletics welcomes all freshmen to WWSC and, more specifically, to the intramuralprogram. This greeting extends up through the ranks -to every male student on campus. THISWELCOME is offered, not for the sake of convention, but because we have something definite andworthwhile to offer the male populace of Western. We see the intramural program as an educationally-sound institution which makes a strong contribution towards the maturation of the truly educated person.Satisfying a more concrete objective, intramural athletics offer enjoyment and relaxation, giving theparticipant a break from an otherwise tedious routine. The Intramural Department is offering a variety ofactivities in hopes of meeting the varied interests of college men. The intramural staff can scheduleevents and organize tournaments but only you, the participant, make the program really successful. Weurge every man on campus to try at least one of the activities affered this year. The following schedule of events is tentative. However, unless otherwise indicated in the Daily Bulletin or physical educationbulletin board, this schedule will be followed. SPORT PLAY STARTS Tennis . . . ...... October FlagFootball i, -..:.

November18 Because of the limited supply of intramural handbooks, only team captains will be given copies thisyear. Possibly with your help in the participation statistics we may be able to convince the budget people that we are deserving of a bigger cut. Until then, one to a team please. With football kicking off nextweek, we wish to remind all captains that they are responsible for the eligibility of their team membersaccording to the official intramural regulations.'

Freeman Dr. Ronald Maloney Football Has SpecialAppeal By Susan Plotts College and football go together like freshmen girls and upper-classmen. FALLDAYS are football days, just ask any of the grimy men who hang out behind the gym from 3:15 to 5:30p.m. Monday through Friday. Spectators see and feel football as the excitement and tension of anight game under th lt;j lights, the precision warm-up drills, the peppy rally squad and the clear, brasssound of the Star-Spangled Banner on a crisp night. These are the things that even make little old ladies stand on the bleachers and yell whoopee! Is this what fotball is all about? Is it.to give unity to a school,pride to a community and entertainment to all, or to bring in revenue? In part, it is all of these. MANYSCHOOLS and towns would remain unknown if it were not for the football team bearing their name. As for entertainment, football is a second national sport and brings in millions of spectator dollars ayear. Here at Western, football admissions help pay for other sports like track, basketball, tennis,rugby and golf that do not have gates. Football benefits the cin-derman and golfer as well as the gridironman.

Most of the squad's grades are worked on only after the player has attendedclasses, worked at an outside campus job and turned out for over two hours of hard physical hit and gethit. FOOTBALL ATTRACTS and develops men. Fifty-five started preseason turn-outs in earlySeptember. At the end of the two-week session of two daily practices, 42 were left. It takesdesire, work and more of the same. The smart players train the year around and all returning men areexpected to follow a demanding summer training program so they will be in condition for the fallseason. Those not in shape feel it in the first few practices. injuries and even deaths do occur on thefootball field. They occur in even greater numbers on the highways and with not as much return on therisks taken. What are the rewards of this rough and exciting sport? A letter jacket is very smallcompensation. Football is kind of an apprenticeship for life. It gives the individual an opportunityfor leadership, arid to learn teamwork; of putting others above self. A lineman throws a block so theball carriers can get through* The ball player learns good health: habits, to stand up under pressureand perhaps more important, how to give his best. Castell to Speak A renowned philosopher, Dr.Alburey Castell is scheduled to speak at the banquet to mark the admission of Western into Phi DeltaKappa education fraternity. While on campus Dr. Castell will also give a dissertaton to the members of the Philosophy Department. By Linda Kleve It is easy to rest on tradition and sometimes worthwhile. The Associated Women Students accept tradition if it has accom* plished certain goals in the past.Each year there is an AWS Fashion Show and a Fall Tolo, and Transfer Tea and a Faculty Student Tea. Each of these events will take place again this year. Of course there will be changes which willdistinguish this year's events from last year's, but the basic purpose will be the same. AWS oftencombines the old and new in planning events to cater to a variety of interests and needs. A tutoringprogram and a "Nature of a Woman" series were carried out last year. This year a "how to studyprogram" has expanded the tutoring program and a new series is being planned for winter quarter. Coke parties for incoming freshmen were talked about and tentatively planned last year which helpedcontribute to their success this summer. An AWS pamphlet and news bulletin and a freshmen women's breakfast were new this fall. Closer communication between the women's clubs on campus is anothergoal of AWS this year. Each year a mixture of traditions and innovations motivates your AWS. This-issuccessful if an organization is not too stuffy to throw out those traditions which hamper activities, or not too proud to discontinue innovations which have failed to achieve the intended purpose. ---------- Collegian - 1963 October 4 - Page 15 ---------- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1963 THE COLLEGIAN PAGE FIFTEEN Tomaras" States PE Policies ByWilliam A. Tomaras Acting Chairman of Men's P.E. and Athletics During the past few days I have beenasked on several occasions whether the change in the administrative organization of our departmentimplies any drastic change of policy. Reduced to simplest terms, the answer must be "no." However, itmight be appropriate at this time to clarify our basic policy. 1. It shall be our policy to conduct theprogram of physical education and athletics as an integral part of the same program. The recent changes in the departmental title and the assignment of administrative responsibilities represent an attempt toachieve this integration. 2. The department considers its primary contribution to the institution to lie inthe following areas: \ (a) Provision for student physical fitness and recreation. The physical fitness testing program, developmental physical activities courses, recreational use of the gymnasium and pool, and the intramural and inter-collegiate athletic programs all contribute toward this end. (b) Provision for thedevelopment of recreational skills. The required program in physical education activities is the primarymeans of meeting this objective. (c) Provision for the thorough training of students who seek to teach and coach physical education activities. We contend that the intercollegiate athletic program contributesimportantly toward this goal as well as the regular curriculum in teacher training. 3. In the field ofintramural sports it shall be our policy to provide as extensive and varied a program .as studentinterests dictate. 4. IN THE FIELD of intercollegiate sports we shall continue to provide a broad programof sports within the limitations of the funds that are available to the department. We have no plans now orin the future to develop a "big time" program of intercollegiate athletics. Basically, ours is a small collegeprogram hut this does not mean a weak program. In fact, in many sports our program is already as goodor better than those at some large institutions. It shall be our intent to give appropriate emphasis to all our sports, financial and otherwise. Of course, some sports simply require more funds to operate but we donot intend to build up some sports and allow others to rot on the vine. -/••";} 5. We shall expect ahigh level of personal behavidr 4jfn the part of our athletes and we would like to encourage the studehtbody to maintain a high level of sportsmanship while attending athletic events. According to gameofficials' ratings, our sportsmanship leaves something to be desired. How about us shooting for theEvergreen Conference Sportsmanship Trophy ihis year? ^ 6. Finally, it is our contention that studentsupport for the athletic program breeds pride and a healthy school spirit. We shall do everything in ourpower to provide well-trained teams composed of men who possess strong mental, physical and personalqualities-men with sincere educational as well as athletic goals. From the student body we would like tosee active support and good sportsmanship. Together we can make athletics at Western worthwhile,respected and admired by students, faculty and anyone who cares to take a look at us.

N ET First of three provost finalists visits Western Stephanie Sarff THE WESTERN FRONT From a pool of more than 160 candidates, three finalists for Western's provost/ vice president for academic affairs position have been named. Open forums are being hosted by the search advisoiy committee so each candidate can meet faculty and students, explain their qualifications to the audience and examine Western's culture. Not a seat remained open for Shirley Clay Scott's discussion Thursday, with many attendees standing. Scott, the .first finalist to visit Western and participate in the open forum, welcomed nearly everyone as they entered the room with a hand-, shake and a smile. Scott said a friend nominated her for the provost position at Western and said it was an honor to have gotten this far in the search. "My competition was fierce," Scott said. Scott, a first generation college graduate in her working class family, is currently dean of the school of arts and science at Hunter College in New York. She said although she loves Hunter, Western's campus is welcoming. Craig Dunn, search chair for the search advisory committee, said the three finalists represent just 2 percent of the total number of applicants. Dunn said the committee decided on the final three candidates easily and unanimously out of the eight semi-finalists. Dunn said the committee, along .with Western President Bruce Shepard, wanted to make the three candidates readily ac-see SCOTT page 5 If you're going to talk about immorality, talk about hunger, talk about war.

Steve Swan will be filling the position of vice president of external affairs, which in January will be called vice president of university relations. The change in job title mirrors the change in position; instead of dealing only with external communications, Swan will take the lead on projects that span the areas of more than one of the vice presidents, Shepard said. "Mostly, his job is what the current job was, but because of his existing relationship [with Shepard], he will be called on as an adviser as well," said Sherry Bur-key, interim vice president of external affairs. When Swan arrives to begin his duties, Burkey will resume her previous role, which has been retitled assistant vice president of university relations. Swan came to visit Western last summer and was impressed with the community of both the university and Bellingham. "We think it's just a beautiful area," Swan said. "I'm looking forward to being involved in the community. People are a major reason we are so excited to move out there." . Swan is currently assistant chancellor of university advancement at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, where he oversees development, alumni, government, marketing and communications. Shepard and Swan worked together for five years before Shepard came to Bellingham as Western's president this fall. "I have a great deal of respect for President Shepard," Swan said. Swan began at the University of Wisconsin Green-Bay as an assistant basketball coach for 10 years.

Custodians awarded Departments win Groups discusses Islam, 9/11 Last night, Western's Ally Building Network and Muslim Student Association hosted a dialogue on Islam and what happened in the wake of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. The dialogue, "Islam after 9/11: The Lives Behind the Stereotypes," was set up to give students the opportunity to talk about their experiences of being Muslim in the U.S. since Sept. 11,2001 as well as their experiences on Western's campus. The Ally Building Network wanted to co-host this dialogue in order to provide a space for conversation that might dispel some myths, raise awareness of the experiences of Western students who are Muslim and foster greater understanding about how our national fascination/fear is having impacts locally," said Jackie Stein, a health educator with Western's Lifestyle Adviser Program, which is a program of Prevention and Wellness Services. Every quarter, the Ally Building network hosts dialogue that focus on topics related to oppression and privilege. The Academic Custodial Services Department at Western received an Honorable Mention award for green cleaning, and^ustainability programs on Nov. 12 in Washington, D.C. The department was selected for the 2008 Green Cleaning Award for Schools and Universities, sponsored by The Green Cleaning Network, Healthy Schools and Campaign and American School and University Magazine. The department has made changes to embrace "green cleaning" by removing all petrochemical cleaning products and using compostable trash liners. The Western custodial services department has been nationally recognized in the green-cleaning movement for the past eight years and has been considered a green department for the last five years. Two Western departments won awards at the annual National Orientation - Directors Association (NODA) national conference and media showcase. The departments recognized were Western's New Student Services/Family Outreach (NSSFO) and University Dining Services. The award given to University Dining Services was in Outstanding Multimedia/ Emerging Technology. The department created an orientation video, "Dining @ Western," that was used at Summerstart to help students and parents decide which meal plan best suites their needs. It also offered information about the variety of food services offered on Western's campus. The second department, NSSFO, was given an award in the Outstanding Newsletter category. This department produces a weekly e-newsletter, "ThisWeek® WWU," for new and continuing students. The NODA includes a showcase to •recognize outstanding achievement in publication and the field of orientation.

The researchers tracked 1,040 elementary school students for four years to determine how moving disrupts children's attitudes toward school and their classroom behavior. The study, published in the journal Child Development, found that not all mobile students suffer negative consequences. Teachers supportive of mobile students were also shown to have an especially strong effect. Lecture series set to start Western's annual "Science in the Uni-verCity" lecture series starts Nov. 18, with a talk about reducing dependence on petroleum. Eric Leonhardt, director of the Vehicle Research Institute (VRI) at Western, will talk about "Beyond Petroleum: Local Transportation Solutions for a Global Problem.'' At the lecture, he will discuss three of the VRI's projects focused on alternative fuels and increased fuel efficiency. The lecture will start at 7 p.m. in Bell-ingham City Council chambers at Belling-ham City Hall, 210 Lottie St. Leonhardt's presentation will also be taped and re-broadcast on Bellingham BTV 10. ---------- Western Front 2008-11-18 - Page 3 ---------- westernfrontonIine.net I Tuesday •• November 18,2008 NEWS I 3 Animal rights club takes Thanksgiving turkeys off the table Ashley Mitchell THE WESTERN FRONT This week the Western Animal Rights Network is holding a turkey-less Thanksgiving meal-to give turkeys a reason to be thankful. The Western Animal Rights Network is an Associated Students (AS) club devoted to educating the Western community about animal right issues, said Western graduate Rebecca McDow, who is a longstanding member of the Animal Rights network. The club has been around for 11 years and is known for two big events: Vegan Fest, which is held in the spring and the turkey-less Thanksgiving. "This is going to be our 10th Thanksgiving event," McDow said. "It gives students an opportunity to have a pressure- free, meatless Thanksgiving, which I think is important because this holiday is a real cultural staple and the turkey is a huge part of it." A main goal of the club and its events is to encourage people to help animals by adopting a vegan diet, purchasing cruelty free cosmetics and adopting animals as opposed to buying a pet, Western senior Shawn Herbold said. More than 300 million turkeys are killed throughout the course of a year and 45 million of those are for Thanksgiving alone, Herbold said. The turkeys are kept in cages, and de-beaked and de-clawed to keep them from clawing each other, she said. The turkeys are also pumped with drugs, and their bones often break under their own frames because they are forced to grow so quickly, she said. McDow said she started out following a vegetarian diet and then changed to a vegan diet after figuring out the differences between the two. A vegetarian is an individual who doesn't consume any meat products, and a vegan is an individual who doesn't consume any animal products. The main difference is a vegan wouldn't eat dairy said. "I always want people to walk away from this dinner with a better understanding of how they can help animals through changes in their diet." The Thanksgiving dinner is a simple event where people come to eat and hang out, McDow said. There is literature on animal cruelty available as well as a slide- show of past events and information. "It's all positive images—no grue-or eggs because those also come from animals who suffer from farm cruelty, she said. "This is more of a vegan event because veganism goes beyond vegetarianism, because the meat-industry isn't the only one that abuses animals," Herbold photo illustration by Kaieb Gubernick THE WESTERN FRONT some photos or anything," McDow said. "It's more informational because it brings up the environmental rights and health issues regarding veganism as well as the obvious animal cruelty issues." There will be an all-vegan spread including Tofurkey, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy and vegan pumpkin pies, Herbold said. Western senior Kayci Robbins said her interest in veganism grew once she came to Western. Robbins said Western has a large group of people who feel strongly about animal cruelty, so it wasn't hard to find learn how to change her diet. "I don't know much about the club, but I really like that it exists," Robbins said. "Coming from someone who didn't know how to go about doing things, it's nice to know that information is being put out there. There are so many angles to this issue that it can be overwhelming." Western alumni Jake Moretto said he attended the turkey-less Thanksgiving both his freshman and sophomore years. He doesn't follow a vegan of vegetarian diet but his girlfriend does. Moretto said his eyes were opened a lot to animal cruelty he didn't realize existed. "I'll admit I like to eat meat," Moretto said. "But I actually like a lot of vegan food too, so I would go to the [turkey-less Thanksgiving] with my girlfriend. She liked going because you can sit with people who follow the same diet and have the same beliefs. Going to the dinners made me wish I had the gusto to completely give up meat and poultry." This year the dinner is being held on Nov. 20 from 6-8 p.m. in Viking Union room 565 and costs $2. "I really want the club to get more educational events out there," Herbold said. Herbold said in the mean time anyone who wishes to learn more about veganism and animal cruelty should visit the Web site www.goveg.com. ^ W e L o v e S T U D E N T S ! ^ We t r e a t students w i t h r e s p e c t and dignity.

Join the Impact is a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Alliance (LGBTA) group which seeks to make a positive impact by bringing people together with one goal: equality for all. Join the Impact encouraged cities nation-wide to hold protests on the same day. Western sophomore Kienan Christian-son went to the Seattle rally instead of the one in Bellingham. He thought it would be bigger than the Bellingham protest, and he said he wanted his voice to have the most impact possible. Christianson took part in the rally with his boyfriend who lives in Seattle. An estimated 3,000- 6,000 protesters attended, according to Seattle Police. . Western sophomore Rebecca Bobko said the volume of the protest was a powerful sign of unity. "You just, get goosebumps when you're surrounded by tons of people and signs that are asking for love and peace," Bobko said. People carried signs that read, "Closets are stuffy ... I just want to love," "Love is Love," "Can I vote on your marriage?" and "H'8." The river of people, both gay and straight, that flooded the streets was met with cheering supporters and the occasional counter protesters. The protest began with a gathering at 10:30 a.m. in Volunteer Park where Ky-ler Powell, who directed the rally, gave a speech about supporting same-sex marriage. He introduced speakers, including state Senators Ed Murray and Joe McDer- mott. Murray's same-sex partner stood by his side as he spoke to the crowd. During his speech, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels declared Nov. 15 Marriage Equality Day in Seattle. King County Executive Ron Sims also spoke about his support for same-sex marriage. "If you're going to talk about immorality, talk about hunger," Sims yelled into his microphone. "Talk about war. But do not tell me that when two people love each other that's immoral. It is right!" Blanche By bee, a lab supervisor at Whatcom Community College and initial coordinator of the Bellingham protest, said she felt Bellingham also had something to offer. After receiving an e-mail from a friend about Join the Impact, she said she felt Bellingham should hold its own pro- gt; test because the protest isn't about the lo- BREWING COMPANY ~33i35£2 FRIDAY, NOV 21 ST 11PMS5 i MI 11 HELEN!

"It's important, to keep hate out of the Constitution/1 Dermond said. cation; it's about the people. "I was so excited about the election, and then I woke up the day after to find that Proposition 8 had passed," Bybee said. "It really bummed me out to the point where I was willing to do anything, even if it meant standing in the pouring rain with only a couple friends and some signs." Sandy Holtzman, a family law attorney who helped promote and organize the protest, said the organizers were hoping for a big turn out, but anticipated only 50 people. Western freshman Rachel Morton created a Facebobk event to help the Bellingham protest. She began by inviting her friends and the people in the group continued to invite more to join. On Saturday morning, the protest began at 10 a.m. with 20-30 people making signs and handing out sheets with the words of designated protest chants on them, Western senior Kiana Fukuyama said. "It was amazing because it seemed like within 10 minutes the protest just spread out and multiplied," Fukuyama said. "I know I was surprised at the turn out because I heard this came together in about 48 hours." Half an hour in, the initial crowd had tripled and Bybee ran around the crowds gathered on each corner of the intersection, leading the protesters in chants declaring their rights. Protesters passed around a megaphone, taking turns telling their personal stories and voicing their thoughts against the proposition. "I really liked the chants and stories;" Western sophomore Samantha Griffin said, holding a hand-made sign, which read 'Love is equal for all.' "They kept the protest very under control and personal, and brought every one together. I just wish we could have been louder." As the crowd grew, it expanded to include dozens of students, children, senior citizens and couples, both gay and straight. Western sophomore Lindsay Anderson, whose personal story involving same-sex marriage brought her to the protest, said she was amazed at the diversity. "My moms are gay and I'm here because I believe in equal rights for everyone because I've seen it first hand," Anderson said. "My whole family is in on these protests, and it's great to see so many different people in Bellingham here supporting it." As the lights in the intersection changed and drivers passed by, many showed their support by honking, which resulted in eruptions of cheers from the protesters. The noise and attention helped the crowd grow as random people walking in the streets joined in. The only thing missing from what was turning out to be a successful protest was an opposing side. The only negative actions came from upset drivers passing by, Bybee said. She said at the start of the protest, a driver passed the group with his thumb down while shaking his head. The protesters hissed and booed at him, but Bybee quickly took control and reminded them the protest wasn'.t about fighting and arguing. Even though an opposing protest was not present, Bybee said it's important to remember opposition exists, even in a liberal college town like Bellingham. Western senior Garrett Osborne is one member of the Bellingham Community with a view opposing same-sex marriage. Osborne said he labels himself as a conservative Christian and was happy Proposition 8 passed. He said while he believes same-sex couples should have the same benefits and privileges as opposite-sex couples, marriage should support the biblical definition as a union between a man and a woman. "I realize I am outnumbered [by opposition]," Osborne said. "But on the same token through the friends that I have, both straight and gay, I realized I shouldn't always be the victim. I should express my opinion but everything shouldn't be political." Currently, Massachusetts and Connecticut are the only states where same-sex marriages are legal. photo by Kathryn Bachen THE WESTERN FRONT Jessica Lemes1 hand rests on the shoulder of her wife, Fiona Steele during the Proposition 8 protest Saturday in Bellingham.

He rejoined then-Chancellor Shepard in 2004 as the executive director of university advancement at Wisconsin Green- Bay- During those years, he coached basketball in local high schools, both as an assistant coach and as a head coach for one year. He said he will be focusing on learning the ropes in his new position when he moves to Bellingham and has no current plans to coach again. Swan said his first priority when he arrives in January is to get the planning for Western's section of the waterfront under way. He will arrive a week before Burkey, who will be bringing him up to speed over the phone, heads to Olympia to be involved in the legislative session. During the session, Swan will spend some time in Olympia being introduced to lawmakers, as well as spending time in Bellingham getting to know the community, Burkey said. Robert Frazier, who previously served as vice president for external affairs, resigned last June. Instead of appointing someone to the position right away, the university decided to wait until Shepard was installed in his role so he could be involved in the process of selecting a vice president of university relations. Burkey stepped into the responsibility temporarily, until Shepard had a chance to appoint someone to fill the role. Shepard had stayed in contact with Swan and invited him to visit Bellingham and meet the community. Shepard then extended an invitation to join his team at Western. "I know [Swan] really well; he is a man of personal integrity," Shepard said. "It is the university's good fortune that he accepted the position." Swan is still waiting to form plans of exactly what his goals and vision will include until he arrives at Western and has a chance to establish working relationships. He said one of his immediate goals will be to meet students and the larger Bellingham community. "I am hoping to help make a difference in moving the university forward," Swan said. SCOTT: Candidate believes students should struggle to succeed from 1 cessible to Western's community. Dunn said allowing feedback is important during a search that will greatly impact the university's faculty and students. Scott said she would not have personally chosen to have her resume and cover letter online for everyone to see but knew it was part of the rules from the beginning. Dan First Scout Rowe, senior lecturer at Fairhaven College, said he appreciates how open the committee and candidates have been during the search. Rowe said better decisions are made if a broader audience has access to the candidate. If the committee had not been interested in discussion and participation from faculty and students, the decision could end badly, he said. "If a bad decision is made, guess who the fingers get pointed at," Rowe said. After the announcement of the final three candidates the committee gave each of the three finalists just 24 hours to tell their current university about their status in Western's provost race. "Everyone should know that these finalists have thrown their hat in a ring," Dunn said. Scott said she thinks part of the provost's job is to keep communication open and allow discussion before making radical decisions. As provost, Scott said she would expect a lot academically from students. "Students need to struggle to succeed," Scott said. "They have to do the taking." During her discussion, Scott mentioned several times that diversity is important to a college campus. Scott said because of her time spent at Hunter College, she tries to promote diversity by recruiting multicultural faculty and welcoming students of all backgrounds. Rowe said he appreciated Scott's talk about diversity. As a member of the Na-kota American Indian Tribe, Rowe said he sees the importance diversity plays within an institution. Diversity, Rowe said, does not necessarily mean ethnic diversity—it can mean parents returning to college to continue their education or people with disabilities attending the university. Dunn said during Scott's visit, she showed a lot of interest in Western, making him more interested in her as a candidate. Rowe said what he liked best about Scott was that she was a "real person." He said her answers were sincere and she did not "double speak," meaning she did not say one thing but mean another while answering questions. Western junior and Associated Students Vice President for Student Life Ben Wurtz said having the ability to have some sort of input in these open forums is a huge advantage to students. "How else are our voices going to be heard?" he asked. Wurtz said he will be attending each forum to ask questions and gain better insight into the goals of each candidate, and the roles each plan to take upon entering Western as the new provost. The final decision will be made by Shepard following a debriefing meeting set for Dec. 3 between Shepard and the search advisory committee. The committee hopes the new provost will take office sometime in January. The next open forum will host Rex Gandy from the University of Southern Mississippi from 3-4 p.m., Nov. 20 in the Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Building room 110. •iili^HlliUlll^PiUli GRAND OPENING GET-DOWN VAUGHN KREESTOE STEPCHIID;^ DAKNEK UNION' Donna McCarthy at Tangles Salon 360-650-0700 1213-Haii-is Ave; Downtown Fairhaven . • 20% off haircuts .

This winter, the "Baker Bus," presented by the Snowrider Project of the Northwest Straits Chapter, is offering round- trip rides to Mount Baker for $5.50 and encouraging people to help protect the environment by minimizing harmful emissions produced on the way up the mountain. The Snowrider Project's mission is to protect ocean water quality by sustaining a clean environment upstream in the mountains, said Anne Baker, treasurer of the Northwest Straits Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. The Surfrider Foundation is an international nonprofit environmental organization. "It's all about protecting and preserving oceans, waves and beaches," Baker said. She said Baker Bus is a pilot project coordinated by the Surfrider Foundation. The Snowrider Project is designed to decrease the number of cars traveling to the Mt. Baker Ski Area, which has a big impact on the rivers in the area, she said. Because the highway going up to the mountain runs by the North Fork of the Nooksack River basin, all the waste products and pollutants from cars run off directly into the water, she said. Eleanor Hines, Western senior and former president of Western's club of the Northwest Straits Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, said one of the main environmental issues comes in the spring when all of the snow melts. Instead of normal road conditions, where pollutants are released in small amounts and introduced into the environment gradually, pollutants sit on top of the snow. When the snow melts the pollutants are instantly released in large amounts and can damage the environment and the entire watershed system, she said. "You can see it on the snow—the snow turns all black on top," she said. Hines said she would like to see this project expand and gain popularity so the Snowrider Project's mission of decreasing pollutants will be fulfilled. Eventually the chapter would like to invest in a full-size bus and run it using biodiesel made from vegetable oil, she said. "We are trying to get the other cars off the road," said Paul Engel, president of Cascade Adventure and a driver of the Baker Bus. "If it gets bigger, maybe we will get 80 cars off the road." To avoid liability, Baker Bus is run through the bus company Cascade Adventure, which is insured. The only charge is to cover fuel costs and maintenance, Baker said. Zachary Winters, Western freshman and vice president of Western's club of the Northwest Straits Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, said this project is different from any other bus service and better than taking a shuttle because the funds it raises from ticket costs strictly go toward buying fuel and providing people a cheap ride up the mountain. The project is cutting the price down to one third of the regular shuttle service cost and is also providing a longer service, Engel said. "The main initiative for this bus is to reduce emissions, reduce fuel consumptions and reduce traffic on the mountain," he said. Currently, there is only one shuttle that goes to the ski area once a week. The bus was originally named "Baja" and was donated by surfers who used to drive it down to Baja, Calif. "[One of the surfers] was like, 'I got a bus at my house that you guys can have," Baker said. Since the bus took long trips to Baja, it has been painted with lots of waves and surfing pictures, she said. The Baker Bus project was made possible by backing from the Surfrider Foundation, he said. "They are the ones making this whole thing happen," he said. photo by Craig Hill THE WESTERN FRONT The Snowrider bus will take skiers and snowboarders to the White Salmon Lodge (pictured above last season) at Mt.

The program pairs two exchange students with one Western student for guidance, advice and friendship. In its first quarter, the buddy program attracted students from Japan, Korea, Canada, Australia, Uruguay, China, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland and will include more countries next quarter, Michaelson said. International programs adviser Richard Bruce, who helped Michaelson implement the program, said the program may play a unique role in exchange students' experiences. Because direct exchange students do not come to Western through a study abroad program and often have never been to the U.S., the buddy system helps them assimilate to American culture and Bellingham fairly quickly, Bruce said. When Michaelson arrived in Finland last year, he was happy to be greeted at the train station by a student from the university where he studied. When Michaelson returned to Western, he realized that students coming to Western didn't have the same warm welcome he received upon his arrival and decided to change international students' experience at Western. "[Michaelson] thought it was a pretty cool idea and it. might be a good idea here," Bruce said. "It's a way to get students here settled and integrated quickly." One of the main benefits of the program is question-and-answer sessions, which occur via e-mail prior to students' arrival. This helps to alleviate any apprehensions they may have, Michaelson said. International student Joshua Huijnen, from the Netherlands, said the program helped him learn about Bellingham before he arrived. He said he talked to his buddy about everything from what the weather is like to what to do in Bellingham, and he stayed in touch with her throughout the quarter. Huijnen said he is spending Thanksgiving with his buddy's family this year. Bellingham is great, but sometimes for them it's like 'f made it here but what else?1 or 'I'm 20, what is there to do? or Brett Michaelson, Western senior After the students arrived in Bellingham, a week of activities coordinated by the buddy program ensued, with events including tours of Bellingham, Western's campus and Fairhaven. Students were also shown where the nearest grocery store is, were taken to the boardwalk in Fairhaven—which they loved—and had a barbecue, Michaelson said. Though Michaelson said he feels Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management WWU College of Business and Economics Job Placement iillwiliii Come Join APICS!

He said he hopes to take students to Seattle or Vancouver in the future. "There are a lot of students here from big cities," Michaelson said. "Bellingham is great, but sometimes for them it's like 'I-made it here but what else?' or 'I'm 20, what is there to dp?' I want to make it so that there are activities throughout the quarter." Western graduate student Fred Polinder is an intern with International Programs and Exchanges and is a buddy to an exchange student. He said it's important to match students with others who have common interests, so they sustain their relationship after they leave Bellingham. "It's actually kind of a selfish thing," Polinder said. "I'm studying Chinese; he speaks Chinese. We're trying to match students up like this so they are motivated to stay in contact." ' Huijnen, who said he has a great relationship with his buddy, added that some of his friends have lost contact with their buddies because they don't have much in common. He said one of his friends hasn't talked to his buddy in almost a month. Polinder said he hopes the program changes certain dynamics on campus. Exchange students only make up 2 percent of Western's population, so there really isn't a lot of international involvement, Bruce said. "I would hope that the program promotes a more international focus and flavor on campus and integrates it into what we already have here," Polinder said. Bruce agreed the program has some quirks but said he is impressed with the overall framework Michaelson created and is hopeful it will be easy for someone else to continue the program when Michaelson graduates. Michaelson said he didn't expect to have so much support from faculty and staff or to be so warmly embraced by exchange students. All students have found matches, for next quarter but will continuously be looking for the right match between students in quarters to come, he said.

The opportunity to have an image develop in minutes after taking a photo will soon be unavailable, due to the discontinuation of Polaroid instant film production at the end of 2009. To pay tribute to the hobby of Polaroid instant photography, Western alumni Yale Wolf and Carrie Gun-nersen submitted 50 photos from the more than 300 Polaroid photos in their collection to the Viking Union Gallery exhibit Death of the Polaroid. Death of the Polaroid will celebrate Polaroid instant artwork starting Nov. 24, displaying Polaroid photos taken by Wolf, Gunnersen and 26 other Bellingham locals. Viking Union Gallery coordinator and Western senior Cory Budden said the exhibition, Which received more than 200 Polaroid photo submissions, will display different styles of Polaroid instant photos. Photo images can vary by using different films, such as 600 film, land film or spectra film, and by developing processes that create different textures and color in the photo. Wolf and Gunnersen have tried development methods such as developing photos in different temperatures, scratching a photo's surface as it develops and printing images on glass and T-shirts by using a transfer film. "We get such a gratification of getting an instant photography, and we wanted to participate in the farewell [of Polaroid instant film]," Gunnersen said. "We probably have less than 100 shots left." Gunnersen said she and Wolf are trying to gather and save as much instant film as they can to continue this style of photography. But the closer instant film is to reaching its expiration date, the more difficult it becomes to find film and purchase it at a low cost. A 10-shot pack of instant film used to cost $10-12, Gunnersen said. Today, the cost of instant film is about $2 per shot, and it can only be found in small markets, such as drugstores or online. Wolf said he is really stingy when he chooses when to take an instant photo now, limiting himself to taking one photo every three weeks. As the number of photos for photographers who use Polaroid instant film photo by Michael Leese THE WESTERN FRONT Carrie Gunnersen and Yale Wolf pose Monday with a self-portrait from the upcoming show Death of the Polaroid. photos are limited, Andrew Bybee, Western junior and participant in Death of the Polaroid, said he wonders what the next generation will think of Polaroid art and how people will look at photography as more film products are discontinued and digital photography grows. Bybee said he thinks digital photography is causing photographers to relate less to their artwork. "Art technology is good and bad," Bybee said. "It takes the learning curve to a whole new level, but you lose things along the way. With a nice new digital [Single Lens Reflex] camera, you take a good photo, and then you can edit it more with Photoshop, but when you talk to the person, they couldn't tell you how they got the picture." Bybee said because a Polaroid instant film immediately develops after the picture is taken, he really thinks about the composition of his photo and tries to get the first shot, done as correctly as possible. With Polaroid instant film being harder to find, Bybee said he feels pressure to make the first shot really count. "I'm really selective on what I use [a Polaroid camera] for," Bybee said. "It's all about composition — I look through the lens for about five minutes before I let the shutter go." Bybee submitted more than 10 Polaroid photos to the exhibit. He said he tries to take pictures of everyday things, such as a bench or a garage, and make them look appealing. Bybee said he likes to frame Polaroid photos side by side, which he said creates a story for the viewer. One of his framed submissions to the VU Gallery is of two Polaroid photos, one of a low-rider truck and another of an old pick-up truck.

The sound of a dozen voices repeating the sacred Hindu syllable "om" reverberated off the walls. At the center of the room, he sat with his eyes closed, palms up and legs crossed. Meditation Club had commenced and Western junior Tony Gallina appeared to be in a trance. Gallina, the Meditation Club president, led a handful of Western students toward relaxation and enlightenment during the club's meeting Thursday. Gallina said the club practices focusing the mind, centering the body and learning breathing techniques to help purify one's aura. Gallina said the techniques learned from meditation have helped him and his peers in numerous facets of life. He said reduced stress levels, ways to cope with anxiety and depression, better clarity and judgment at school and a stronger immune-system are just some of the benefits of meditating regularly. After practicing meditation on his own for six years, Gallina said he felt he had been missing out on what group meditation had to offer. He said he enjoyed the introspective meditation he had been practicing but wanted to expand to techniques that not only cleared the mind, but focused on the energies of others as well. And having the help of others can be especially useful this time of year when the days grow darker and shorter for winter, Gallina said. Meditation is a great resource for students to learn how to keep their energy levels high and their outlooks on life positive, he said. "There's so much sun on the world during the summer," Gallina said. "Instead of being down in the winter, you have to remember that it's going to change. Everything changes. That's a part of life, and that's a huge part of meditation." Western's Counseling Center has realized the advantages of meditation as well, and offers a weekly relaxation group for students interested in learning stress-relief techniques. Anne Marie Theiler, counselor and creator of the group, said the meetings are designed for the counseling center's clients and other students who want to drop in and see what the group is all about. Theiler, who has a master of science degree in counseling psychology, said learning how to bring down one's stress level can be as healthy as regular exercise. "Students are so fo cused on their future and their goals and where they are j i l t^ YESJ+CIukme^ meets at ; ^ locations and the Goun^ .relaxation group meets aM^ • Thursdays in Old Main room 540, going to go that they can forget to live in the present," Theiler said. "Meditation is a great way to come back home and focus on the here and now." Theiler said the best way to profit from meditation is to have some type of regular practice. That way, students will be able to manage and regulate stress more efficiently. The majority of services on campus support the academic side of the university, but Theiler said the college experience should be about more than just academia. She said any service on campus that supports students holistically, and not just for the development of the brain, is valuable. Western junior Brooks Hassig is the founder of another campus club that, along with meditation, teaches yoga and breathing techniques. Hassig said the YES!+ Club, which stands for Youth Empowerment Skills training, values methods that decrease emotional and physical stress and increase non-violence and peace of mind. He said he wanted to create the space and tools to make students feel good about themselves. "The purpose of everything I do is to increase awareness and increase positive energy. For me, the meditation and the breathing is a means to quiet my mind—get rid of all that chatter because I don't need it—and to be at peace." When Hassig hit a low point in his life two years ago, he said he started the club because he realized he needed a drastic change. He said he felt like he was sinking in mud and recognized that meditation could be his saving rope. The goal of the club is to give students ways of dealing with stress not only during meetings, but more importantly, once they walk out the door, Hassig said. The club teaches students how to let go of everything troubling them, he said. Both Hassig and Gallina said their clubs are not associated with a certain religion—meditation is more concerned with spirituality and human values. Gallina said one does not necessarily have to be sitting still to be in a state of meditation. He considers meditation a frame of mind, which can be practiced while sitting, standing or even being in class. He said always being aware of one's surroundings and having a heightened sense of one's actions is just another form of meditation. Gallina meditates every day to help himself stay focused, centered and empowered in his life. "There is that whole other aspect of meditation that isn't a technique," Gallina said. "It's about learning how to live your life, and that's what I've been really focusing on. That's what has been the most powerful for me." ---------- Western Front 2008-11-18 - Page 10 ---------- 10 I ARTS LIFE Tuesday • November 18,2008 I The Western Front Western's Harry Potter Club recreated the series' winter ball to the delight of wizards and muggl.es alike photo by Michael Leese THE WESTERN FRONT Western sophomore Reuben Walker won first place in the Yule Ball costume contest as Harry Potter character Fred Weasley. Kaylin Bettinger Talithia Taitano THE WESTERN FRONT Students revived their old prom dresses and outdated sweaters on Saturday to celebrate their shared passion for the Harry Potter series. The Associated Student's Harry Potter Club hosted its second- annual Yule Ball, to the delight of more than 200 people, Western senior and club President Carol Cordray said. Attendees included most of the 40 members of the Harry Potter Club and many othep- students on campus. The ball attracted approximately 80 guests last year and since the goal was to double attendance, it was a smashing success this year, Cordray said. "We did it last year and it was a big hit, and we decided to do it bigger and better this year," said Vicky Motter, Western junior, club officer, and co-coordinator of the ball. "Plus it's so much fun. It's amazing. It's the highlight of the year." The club added more advertising for the event this year through Facebook, word-of-mouth, posters, banners and hand bills. Next year they hope to attract an even bigger crowd because the event is open to anyone, not just Western students, Motter said. In the fourth book in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," three schools compete in a tournament kicked off by a ball to unite all three schools. In the same fashion, the Harry Potter Club threw a Yule Ball to bring together those who share similar interests. Since J.K. Rowling ended the Harry Potter series, the Harry Potter Club shifted its focus from a discussion-based group about the books to an event- based group, focusing on hosting events such as the Yule Ball. "We can bring [the Harry Potter series] to life and celebrate it," said Chris Godwin, a club officer and event coordinator.

Michael Godwin, Western junior and club member, said there are 10 Wizard Wrock bands actively touring in Washington. Library Lily is a recent Wizard Wrock band that performed at the Yule Ball and had CDs for sale at the event. Another local Wizard Wrock/Medieval Rock band called The Order of the Crimson Wizard performed and got everyone dancing. "Wizard Wrock: It's a genre on its own," Godwin said. "It is huge!" Western sophomore Reuben Walker won the costume contest for his impression of the character Fred Weasley. Though he isn't part of the Harry Potter Club, he was invited by his roommate, who is part of the club. "They're wonderful stories," Walker said. "I am the same age as all of the characters, so I was going through middle school and high school with all of the characters, so it was just something really fun you can be connected with." The Harry Potter Club isn't stopping with its events after the Yule Ball. They have meetings every Wednesday from 7-9 p.m. Viking Union room 462B to discuss conspiracy theories about the characters, play games to earn "house points," play Quidditch and plan future events. "It lets out my inner geek," Motter said. "I think we all have our inner geek, and Harry Potter Club really lets that out. I mean, I'm wearing a pink wig—how often'do you get to do that?"

After some leisurely reading, he will enter his studio in Fairhaven around 9 a.m. and plan his day backward, first evaluating his client's deadlines before using a piece of grade-school chalk to outline the design of his current project. Mann will then play some music and spend between four to five hours painting. Afterward, he will leave his studio and go about the rest of his day with a sketchbook in hand. Such is work for a professional artist. A native of Bellingham and recent recipient of the Mayor's Arts Award, Mann, 43, said he was born to make art. "They say I was born with a crayon in my hand," Mann said. "For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for art." The Bellingham Mayor's Art's Award is given to several local artists annually by the mayor in recognition of notable achievements in art. "When I was notified through mail that I had been awarded the Mayor's Art's Award, I thought it was a parking ticket," Mann said. "Needless to say, it was a pleasant surprise when I opened the letter." Some people may already be familiar with Mann's artwork without realizing it, as his art is showcased at several businesses in Bellingham including Mallard Ice Cream, Mambo Italiano Cafe, A Lot of Flowers, the Little Cheerful cafe and the Whatcom Museum gift shop. "I feel as though my art has made a niche here," Mann said. "Fairhaven has a real sense of place, and I'm glad to be a part of it." Mann's art, which consists largely of paintings and murals, is most recognizable for its cartoonish style and vibrant use of color. "My art style can best be described as contemporary folk art," he said. "A few notable! inspirations of mine include Dr. Seuss, Calvin and Hobbes, and Van Gogh." Ben Mann's sister, Jean Mann, said that her brother always finds an appealing way to express light in his pictures. "His art has a cozy way of being," she said. "It has a homey feel to it." Unlike many artists who begin their paintings with a white primer, Mann begins most of his with a black primer. He then outlines the design of his art with a piece of chalk. Mann won't begin painting until his chalk-outline is just right. He will then begin painting and wipe off the chalk only after the painting is completed. Mann said his artwork is largely commercial, and he often will take requests from clients who are looking for something specific. "I will often get to know my clients personally because I can use what I learn about them to add context to my paintings," Mann said. "My art is about creating kinship, not challenging the viewer." Kelly Swordmaker, manager of A Lot of Flowers in Fairhaven, has sold Mann's art for several years and said it is very popular. "There's something about Ben's art that is very attractive to people," Swordmaker said. "He has his own sense of style and is very prolific. His art is bright and appealing, which makes it accessible to almost anyone." Mann said he attributes part of his success to the fact that Bellingham often has dreary, gray weather. "[Bellingham's] weather has a tendency to really bring out the color of my art," Mann said. "I'm not sure that my art would have as much impact if it were showcased in a more tropical region."

"It seems like every time I talk to him, we end up having a. deep discussion about something," Levin said. Jean Mann also mentioned her brother's ability to work well with people. "Ben is as approachable as his art is," Jean Mann said. When Mann is not creating art, he can sometimes be found waiting tables at Anthony's at Squalicum Harbor. "As much as I love art, it is important to do some real living," Mann said. "I enjoy the physical and social aspects of waiting since creating art is a pretty solo affair." Mann earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from San Francisco's Academy of Art University in 1992. Since moving back to Bellingham in 2000, Mann has traveled extensively to countries such as France, Mexico, Australia, Japan and New Zealand, filling up hundreds of sketchbooks in the process. "I'm a guy who finds a fire hydrant on a rainy day exciting," he said. "Imagine something as aesthetically stimulating as Paris for an artist." Mann's advice to aspiring artists is to strive for something unique. "Don't be afraid to go out on a limb," Mann said.

The proposition changes the California state constitution to allow a ban on same-sex marriage after the California Supreme Court ruled such a ban unconstitutional in May 2008. The proposition passed after 17,000 same-sex couples were already married and marriage licenses ceased to be given out to same-sex couples. Though proposition 8 does not directly affect Washingtonians by law, it is a harsh decision to same-sex couples across America. In an election year where 64 million Americans voted for the nation's first black president, Americans also voted against same-sex marriage in five states. For some reason, same-sex marriage has become a partisan issue and not an issue of civil rights. By assigning different language, though similar rights, through civil unions, it is still saying the love of same-sex couples is not as valid as the love of heterosexual couples. In the 1960s, couples of different races could not marry. Now in 2008, people of the same sex cannot wed. How can marriage between two consenting adults be illegal? When our founding fathers created the constitution, though many of them were very religious, they established the separation of church and state. They did this because they saw how unjust a theocracy could be. America is a country full of diverse people, and it is this variation in culture and creed that makes us great. But what does it say when we think two same-sex people cannot be married? Being homosexual is not a choice. No one wakes up one morning and decides to be a heterosexual or homosexual. It is a reality beyond our control. People can no more choose their sexual orientation than they can choose the color of their skin. The main argument against same-sex marriage is that marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman. How is it that we are allowing the religion of one group of people to prevent the rights of so many? If marriages are recognized by the state as a legal agreement, then there should be no religious context attached to them. Civil unions are not the same as marriage. Same-sex marriage was banned in Washington in 1998. In 2006, same-sex couples challenged this ban. The Washington State Supreme Court upheld the ruling and same-sex marriage remained illegal. One judge held up the ban because they said the ban coincided with the state's goal in creating "stable, child-producing unions," according to a July article in The Seattle Times. Same-sex couples make just as good parents as any and should be allowed to adopt if they choose. Prop. 8 doesn't just affect Californians. If affects all of us, black, white, straight and gay. It says something about how we treat one another and how we value those people. As we look back 50 years and wonder why we were so closed-minded about couples of different races we can only hope change will come and grant the same rights to everyone. It was great to see Bellingham participate so passionately in a national campaign to end discrimination and bigotry. This should be our revolution.

Enjoying Thanksgiving without the turkey Shawn Herbold Guest Columnist In a letter to his daughter, Benjamin Franklin called the turkey a "true original Native of America" and admired its intelligence and beauty. In fact, he was adamant about making the turkey our national symbol, not the bald eagle, saying that the turkey is "in comparison a much more respectable bird." It's ironic that the turkey has since become one of the most abused animals, subject to jest and disrespect, particularly during the historic day of gratitude known as Thanksgiving. What would Ben Franklin think? In the spirit of the holiday, I am writing on behalf of Western Animal Rights Network (WARN) to let people know about our club's annual Turkey less Thanksgiving from 6-8 p.m. Nov. 20 in Viking Union room ~565. Over the years, Turkeyless Thanksgiving has become a much-anticipated event on campus. We offer a veritable cornucopia of delicious vegan Thanksgiving fare, buffet style, including Tofurky and pumpkin pie, all for a mere $2 for students and $3 for the general public. We want people to come enjoy great food and great conversation, and hopefully talk about what it means to eat more compassionately. We'll have information available for people interested in learning more about the benefits of being vegetarian, as well as fabulous vegan holiday recipes that people can take home to try themselves. More than 45 million turkeys will be killed this year for Thanksgiving alone, which doesn't include the other 250 million killed the rest of year. Classified as poultry, turkeys are excluded from the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act, along with chickens and ducks. Poultry constitute 90 percent of the 10 billion (that's right, billion) animals slaughtered for food in this country every year. Without a federal law protecting them, turkeys and other poultry are subject to horrific abuses, including being transported in freezing weather conditions, being slammed into walls and stomped on, having their necks and limbs broken, being pumped full of growth- inducing drugs causing.their legs to break under their enormous weight, and even being scalded to death while fully conscious in de-feathering tanks. If these acts of violence were inflicted on cats or dogs, it would warrant federal cruelty - to-animals charges and jail time. Turkeyless Thanksgiving is not about bumming people out. It's about bringing people together to enjoy delicious, cruelty-free food and good company. It's about offering people the opportunity to think more consciously about where their food comes from. It's about inspiring people to take charge and to make decisions on a daily basis that can help end the suffering of billions of animals. And it starts with what's at the end of your fork.

Be responsible and safe when it comes to HIV/AIDS Glenn Smith Columnist I didn't see AIDS for the crippling, life-changing thing it is until it was right in front of me. I once knew a person who was dealing with a lot of things in his life, and getting HIV was one more obstacle. I remember comforting him for more than an hour as he began to realize the pills he poured onto the table would become a permanent part of his life. It was mind-blowing. I did not know AIDS sufferers went through such an ordeal. It was1 too much for him to take. He changed my outlook on HIV/AIDS. I have never met anyone who has a had a harder time in life. Just consider taking a walk in his shoes. I dare you. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is not going away any time soon. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site are telling. The centers conducted a study that yielded estimates of the numbers of people living with and dying from HIV/AIDS, up to the year 2006. An estimated 448,871 people were found to be living with AIDS in the U.S. and dependent areas in 2006. This is a scary number. This disease specifically and ironically targets social groups that have historically had a very hard time achieving the same status as whites and straight people. Just look at how Proposition 8 passed in California, and how recently the Civil Rights Movement occurred. Dr. Gail Wyatt, speaking on Tavis Smiley in 2005, talked about AIDS and how it affects black people. "People need to understand our history. They don't understand the stereotypes that you see and the people who win Academy Awards. They're the same old stereotypes that we had so long ago," Wyatt said. AIDS could intersect with your life any day, Western students, and you need to be prepared to deal with it. Some people live long, healthy lives with the disease. It's not contractible through saliva or shaking hands. But we do need to know how to talk about it, because it's not easy to talk about, or to bring up. It is, however, necessary to talk about with potential sex partners. Remember, as the more-frequently fluid-emitting half of the sexual spectrum, men spread the disease way easier than women. Men, we need to be extra careful and responsible with our sexual exploits. Women, you have to respect yourself first in order to have the courage to bring up a sensitive issue like this. Regular testing for HIV/AIDS and other diseases is a great idea, and you can get it done privately at the Planned Parenthood on Ellis Street or our own student health center. And be kind to and respect those who have HIV/AIDS because they have enough to worry about without mean or ignorant people ruining their days. It is a prevalent, incurable, sneaky, harsh and invisible disease, and no one wants it. And just like on those corny ads I always see, "Evolve. Use a condom." And if you haven't been tested, men, and you don't know you have a disease, you've become a transmitter. Do you want that on your conscience? ---------- Western Front 2008-11-18 - Page 13 ---------- See more online at www.westernfrontonline.net The Western Front I Tuesday • November 18,2008 I 1 3 Western one step closer to nationals photo by Jon Bergman THE WESTERN FRONT Western forward Lucy Miller battles with Cal State Dominguez Hills defender .Colleen Mc- Namee during the Vikings' 1 -0 win in the second round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Far West Regional game Sunday at Orca Field. Miller scored the only goal of the game to help the nationally ranked Vikings improve their overall record to 17-2-2. Adam Cochran THE WESTERN FRONT With the end of the season on the line, the Western women's soccer team defeated University, of California State, Dominguez Hills IrO in the second-round matchup of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Far West Regional. The Vikings, ranke'd first in the region and 12th nationally, improved their overall record to 17-2-2, extending their unbeaten streak to 16 games. Western junior forward Lucy Miller scored the only goal in the 48th minute of the game. The goal was assisted by junior midfielders Jenny Barton and Kelly Irving. Miller leads the team with 10 goals for the season. "I think we won this game because we just outworked them," Miller said. "We were willing to work harder than they were to win." Barton started the play by heading the ball near the center circle where it was recovered by Irving. Irving then kicked the ball to Miller near the top right corner of the penalty area. Miller had a low shot from 15 yards out and took it, kicking it into the far corner. "The whole time our plan was to defend with our offense," Western head coach Travis Connell said. Cal State Dominguez Hills had a few chances to score in the last few minutes of the game but were unsuccessful due to the defense of Western junior defender Brynn Regan and Western senior goalkeeper Kylie Broadbent. "A big difference.was that today we truly played a full 90 minutes, and in some of our conference games we were able to get away with not playing with that much intensity for 90 minutes," Broadbent said. The game ended after Cal State Dominguez Hills had a free kick on the right side of the penalty area but failed to score. "We've ended a lot of games this year like this one in front of our own net," Connell said. "A lot of coaches would be nervous about that, but I have a lot of confidence in them because they may bend a little bit, but they don't break." Western assistant coach Greg Brisbon said a major key in the Vikings' win was being able to stick to their-game plan by putting a lot of pressure on the ball and forcing Cal State to make mistakes. "Our defense did a really good job of taking their forwards out of play so when they got the ball, they didn't have many chances to score," Miller said. The Vikings' next opponent is Seattle Pacific University in the regional final Nov. 20 at a site to be determined. The winner will face the champion of the South Central Region Nov. 22. The Vikings have played Seattle Pacific twice this year-Western won the first meeting and tied the second. Brisbon said the two previous meetings were tough but' feels they match up well with Seattle Pacific. "Our first priority is to rest and be as healthy as we can," Connell said. "I don't think it's going to be as much strategy as it's going to be heart and determination in order to win." Men's basketball cruises past Cascade Jesse Amorratanasuchad THE WESTERN FRONT The Western men's basketball team opened the season with a 109-69 rout against Cascade College on Monday in Carver Gym. Western junior guard Morris Anderson gave stability to Western's lineup and was close to a triple-double for the night. Anderson finished the game with 12 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds. Anderson also had 5 steals. "[Anderson] really enjoys the game and you can tell by watching him play," Western head coach Brad Jackson said. "He loves to set guys up and he's a reallyi high percentage shooter. He's a real catalyst for us." Western senior guard Ira Graham led the team with 20 points. Western shot 55 percent from the field and held Cascade to under 35 percent with some stifling defense. Western senior forward Calin Schell and junior forward Michael Duty asked questions in the paint of Cascade's undersized lineups. Schell scored 12 and Duty scored 14 points. "We just wanted to come out and execute," Graham said. "We understand that when we run our offense and make good plays for one another, we're going to score a lot of points and are a really good team." Western senior forward Steve Alford provided offense off the bench and scored 13 points and six rebounds. "We have some good depth," Jackson said. "If you have a team that has a decent bench, then you have an opportunity to work through when some guys are struggling. All in all, it was a good first game and a good win for us." Cascade junior guard Ben Pawlak and junior guard Jared Mace led the Thunder-birds with 14 points each. "I thought we came out reallyvstrong," Cascade head coach Anthony Baugher said. "We had some down moments on offense that cost us in the first half and that hurt us in the second half; We just had a hard time defending them." ; 4 Alford came into the game early in the first half and hit two three pointers to help Western stretch their lead to 59-33 at halftime. Western senior forward Dave Brit-tinen went 4-4 in the first half. Brittinen played a strong game in the post, scoring all his points inside the key, including a difficult reverse layup on the baseline in the first half. Brittinen finished the game with 16 points. Alford came off the bench again in the second half and made some big plays. After he hit two shots in a row, Alford dribbled into the key before looping a pass around his back to an open Brittinen, who finished under the basket with a smooth left-handed lay-up with 11 minutes, 46 seconds left in the half. "The first game of the year is always new," Jackson said. "No matter how many veterans you have, no matter how long you've practiced, it's still the first regular counted game. There's a term called 'game-slippage' and you want to try and avoid that." Western will travel to Seattle next weekend for the Seattle Pacific University Tip-Off Classic. Western will play California State University San Bernardino on Nov. 21 and University of Mary North Dakota on Nov. 22. photo by Jon Bergman THE WESTERN FRONT Western senior forward Calin Schell works the paint for an open shot as Cascade College's Tommy Allen tries to defend during the Vikings' 109-69 win Monday in Carver Gym. ---------- Western Front 2008-11-18 - Page 14 ---------- 14 I SPORTS Tuesday November 18,2008 I The Western Front Volleyball team denied playoff bid Derek Messling THE WESTERN FRONT The Western volleyball team's season came to an abrupt end Sunday night when they were not offered a spot in the Division II Women's Volleyball Championship.

Ranked sixth in the West Region, Western finished the season with a 21-3 overall record and placed second in the conference with a 13-3 record. Saturday's match was the last chance for seniors, including middle blocker Ti-ana Roma, middle blocker Angie Alvord, outside hitter Marissa Hill, and outside hitter Shanley Basset, to play in front of the home fans at Carver Gym. "We made it a little more exciting for the fans than we would've liked," Roma said. "But it was a great win and a match that I will never forget." The seniors had no idea that they were leaving the court for the last time as a Western Viking Saturday afternoon. "We took our program to another level and they were a big part of that," Flick said. "I hope they have fond memories of their time here, and I am going to miss each and every one of them." Western, the returning national runner- up, was stunned that its 21-3 record was not enough to be selected as one of the eight teams to play in the West Region of the national tournament. Teams such as California State University, Chico with a 20-10 record, and California State University, Los Angeles, who lost more matches—4—in their final six matches of the season than the Vikings did the entire season, were chosen over Western. Western beat the University of New Haven and the University of Minnesota Duluth in non-conference play as well as conference-champ Western Oregon University, all three of which are headed to postseason play. . Roma led the Vikings in'Saturday's match with 19 kills including the game winner in the final set. She also added a match-high seven blocks. The Vikings won the first set 33-31 in the conference's longest set of the season. Alaska Anchorage took the second set 26-24 to pull even until Western won the third set 25-23. The Seawolves won the fourth set 25-19 to force a fifth and final set. The Vikings never trailed in the final set and won 15-13 on a kill by Roma with an assist from Western junior setter Kari Rice. "The match started out really rough but we showed a lot of grit and tenacity and were able to pull together and play really well," Roma said. "It was a time some teams would have broken." Western sophomore outside hitter Megan Amundson tallied 17 kills for the Vikings while Alvord added 12 of her own. Rice led Western with 58 of the team's 64 total assists. She also added six blocks. "It was a hard-fought match by both teams," Flick said. "J was proud of my team for pushing through and coming out on top." Anchorage Alaska dropped to 15-14 overall and 7-9 in the conference". Despite the loss, Anchorage Alaska ended the season with a winning record for the first time in five years. The Seawolves were led by senior outside hitter Rhea Cardwell's match-high 30 kills, which were the third most by any player in the conference this season. Ending the season winning eight of their last nine games, Western's team is left to wonder what might have been had they been invited to play in the national tournament. Flick said she was very surprised the Vikings weren't offered a spot due to their sixth place position in the. most recent West Region rankings. "It's a disappointing feeling, but [being left out] will definitely be a motivating factor every day we train in the offseason," Flick said.

Western is now 2-0 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC). Western defeated Cascade College 92-57 Saturday, as four Vikings scored in double figures. Western senior guard India Soo came off the bench and led all scorers with 18 points. Western senior forward Jessica Summers posted a double-double for the game, scoring 15 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Summers was also named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. "She's just such a competitor," Western head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "She adds so much, she wants the ball and she's fearless.", Western played a more tightly contested game against Lewis-Clark State College on Sunday. Western defeated Lewis-Clark 69-52 after a strong display of shooting from the perimeter. Western sophomore guard Amanda Dunbar came off the bench to score 19 points, shooting 4-4 from three-point range in the first half. Summers posted a second consecutive double-double and battled in the paint for 14 points and 11 rebounds. "We needed to play what they were giving us," Dolfo said. "They decided to take our inside away and that's where our guards need to step up and be ready to shoot instead of trying to pass the ball inside." Lewis-Clark's zone defense caused Western some problems in the first half before Dunbar and Western sophomore guard Marelle Moelirle combined for six of Western's seven shots from behind the would force [Lewis-Clark] to come out and that allowed us to use our post," Dunbar said. Western had an 11-point lead at half-time. The lead was pushed to 20 points after Moehrle hit a three-pointer that finished a 14-3 run with 10 minutes and 15 seconds left to play. "You could say we're a good shooting team, but it also comes down to getting each other open and working as a team," Moehrle said. "We're multiple threats out there so you got to be ready. You take away our inside, we'll go outside. If you take away our outside, we'll go in." Lewis-Clark senior forward Sadie Short led the team-with 17 points. The team shot 37 percent from the field. "They hit some threes in the first half, and it brought us out [of our zone] a bit," Lewis-Clark head coach Brian Orr said. "[Western is] a good team. They're solid all the way around and a talented group. We didn't have much production from post play, and we just have to continue to develop our scoring threat." lis! arc.

Major topics included stu- Ident involvement and unification, support andimprovement I'of the day care center, campus I minimum wage and continuing | Fairhaven's workshops.Other topics were recycling, [ proposed faculty evaluation by students, arts and entertainment and the recognition policy approved by the AS Activities Council that might limit religious meetings.Candidates for president are Kurt Hanson, Commonwealth candidate Tracey Maxwell, Mike Acord andGreg Webley. Maxwell, a member of the election's only political party said unification of studentgovernment and better use of funds were his top priorities. He suggested more tutors | anH guestspeakers, discos and expressing Western's needs on a state level, like the state legislature. Hanson's• goals include expansion of Miller Hall, a coffee jshop in Arntzen, more funding for the day carecenter, more student involvement and better I cultural programs. He criticized the campus [poster policy being put into effect without students participating in the decision. He said | a salary raise for VikingUnion land AS positions would make [jobs "more professional." Hanson said better art pro- [ gramswould be his top priority. Acord said more funding for I the day care center was his top I priority, since itwould encourage more funding for AS programs. "The AS is now the only funding source for the pro-igram," he said. "The college should also fund it." Acord also stressed more recycling resources,maintaining'Fairhaven's workshops, acceptance of a campus minimum wage, more gym use bysmaller organizations and creation of a consumer advocacy service for students. He said studentsshould accept the disbandment of the All- University Senate. Webley agreed with Acord that thesenate will disband. He said the new system of representing students through the AS will givestudents more control. Webley also stressed more funding for the day care center and more studentinfluence in spending funds gained through tuition. He declined further comment on other issues, saying they are denned by students and constantly change. "We need to listen (for the issues), not just tellwhat the issues are," he said. Candidates for vice president of internal affairs are Doug Scott andKathleen Kil-cullen. Scott said he favored main- "HEY BABE, YA WANNA BOOGIE?" - Punkers broughttheir own brand of music and anarchy to Western. See story page 10. Olscamp won't allow wet T-shirtson campus by SUE TAYLOR Highland Hall's wet T-shirt contest was canceled Thursday after University President Paul Olscamp told Highland's representatives that the contest could not take place in anycampus buildings. Olscamp met with the representatives Thursday afternoon because he said heheard a number of negative responses from the community and campus about the contest and hequestioned the use of campus buildings for the contest. The contest would have been "an inappropriateuse of tax-supported, state-owned facilities," Olscamp said. "It has a negative effect on Western inthe way the community views us," he added. Olscamp said he was contacted by faculty, students,women's groups and people from the community. The city of Belling-ham did not send an officialresponse, he said. "All the contacts that I received were negative," he said. Olscamp said he soughtopinions from others in the community and decided not to allow the contest to take place on campus.One of the four who spoke with Olscamp, Bob Sealey, said the meeting "was very positive," andadded the cancellation was no surprise. "All along the way we were expecting someone to say no,(but up until now) no one did," Sealey said. "We knew we would have to face a lot of opposition," headded. Olscamp's main concerns were using the campus and the effect it would have on thecommunity, Sealey said. "He couldn't have handled it more fairly," he said. Highland Hall decided not to have the contest somewhere else off campus, Sealey said. Olscamp said he volunteered his servicesfor an alternative fund-raising event for the .dorm. "I have nothing against Highland raising money," hesaid. He said he suggested a pie throw and offered to be the target. Highland Hall is planning a keg rollto Olympia instead of the wet T-shirt contest, Sealey said. He said he believed Olscamp had beeninvited to "roll it off."

"The only time the AS pays attention to matters is duringelection time," he said. Scott also favors expanding the bookstore's variety of products, more payment for returning used textbooks, mandatory midterm deficiency reports and retroactive pay forstudents, which he said various departments can afford. He severely criticized the administration for not approving the campus minimum wage proposal. Kilcullen's goals include bus shelters, expansionof the bus Continued on page 6 Star beam experiments byBETHJACOBSON Two WesternAdministrators are involved in solar experiments in order to see a more fantastic universe that hadbeen until now shut from the eyes of mankind, Peter Kotzer, of the Bureau of Faculty Research, saidin a recent interview. Kotzer and James Albers, vice provost for instruction and research, are headingexperiments investigating the presence of neutrinos, a by-product of nuclear fusion emitted by thesun and all stars. The problem is finding them, since neutrinos have little or no weight and no electricalcharge. Neutrinos do have energy, however, and might lock up 50 percent or more of the universe'senergy, Kotzer said. A great sea of neutrinos exist in space, he said. , Because neutrinos have nomass, they rarely interact with matter. Ten billion pass freely through a square centimeter of matterevery second. Neutrinos travel at the speed of light. The experiments might lead to a new method ofcommunicating over long distances without the use of satellites, copper wires, antennas and withoutelectro-magnetic interference (noise). These are things no other system can do, Kotzer said. A neutrinobeam could transmit as many as 16 TV channels at once. Neutrino beams will be broken up intoMorse-type code and deciphered when they reach the detectors. Although anyone could break thecode, they would have to dig deep into the earth to intercept the beam. Communications will be moreprivate, Kotzer said. Kotzer believes it will be easier to make contact with extraterrestrial life usingneutrino beams than with conventional electromagnetic waves. . He said he also believes more than 1,000,000 highly techno-lized societies exist in our solar system. Neutrinos are "a tool to open up awhole new window on the universe," Kotzer said. He compared the impact of neutrino research onphysics to Continued on page 2 ---------- Western Front - 1978 April 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, April 18,1978 Emitted by sun and stars Solar by-products studied Continuedfrom page 1 that of Galileo's work with the telescope. Various aspects of the experiments are beingconducted in the Home Stake Gold Mine in Illinois, Puget Sound and the Bahamas. Scientists aretrying to build "a great big brain under water that will sense neutrinos," Kot-zer said. The detectors areglass balls that look like eyeballs, which scientists are trying to fix on a specific design , he said.The University of Washington also has scientists at the Fermi Lab. Last October, cosmic raydetectors were placed, for the first time, on the ocean floor at a depts of 1,000 feet off Grand BahamaIsland. When the detectors eventually are recovered, sometime between now and next October, theirphotographic plates are expected to reveal important new information on the nature and behavior of theparticles that imprint their tracks in the plates, according to a university release. ' The Office of NavalResearch and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fund the experiments. Kotzer andAlbers are working with, $50,000, Kotzer said. Herbert Taylor, of the anthropology department, started the experiments as a small project in 1971, he said. Kotzer and Albers also "want to see if neutrinoschange sexes," Kotzer said. "If such a change exists, it would point to a revolutionary unification of thelaws of physics." It also would explain the neutrino puzzle, he added. Kotzer was referring to the"missing" neutrinos from the sun. Scientists think they know how many neutrinos the sun sends out but only one-third make it to earth to be observed, Kotzer said. Scientists speculate the missingneutrinos might have changed form and become undetectable. 'Kotzer and Albers will know for certainexactly how many neutrinos are being sent from Chicago to Puget Sound. If some appear to be.missing— as some appear to be missing from the sun — it will help show the sun's neutrinos change in form. The neutrino research is the "singular most revolutionary path for scientists to take in recent years,"Kotzer said. "It will probe a new window on the universe. Where man is, where he came from and newsources of energy — the possibilites are wide open." Fraternity tests wings Western's first fraternity is testing its wings. Currently it is a 16-member association. It must exist at least one year and beaccepted by the university for a national fraternity to recognize it, senior Monte Edwards, president ofthe association, said. The group already has elected officials, written its constitution, signed up forthe March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon and met for a social function, Edwards' said. He thinks about 20people, mostly sophomores and freshmen, are interested in pledging. Edwards and a few friendscame up with the idea last quarter. He said they want to meet new people, promote public service and keep ties after graduation. Tim Douglas, associate dean of students, thinks this is the first group to tryto start a fraternity at Western. The College Services Council will establish a policy. "The first thing wehave to do is to talk to these people and survey the campus to find out what student opinion is," MaryRobinson, council chairwoman, said. She added that Eastern does not expect its fraternity and twosororities to last long. Douglas said most fraternities close because of lack of money. PROTEST — Tax reform was preached at a rally outside the federal building. Tax protesters gather Vandalism left inconcert's wake Broken windows and "excessive" graffiti were left in the wake of 200 spectators at apunk rock concert here Thursday night. Two large windows in the Student Employment Center,located in Wilson Library, were broken causing an estimated $350 damage, Al Gran, constructionforeman, said. "We do have suspects," R.G. Peterson, safety and security director, said. Petersonwould not release information on the suspects but said the incident is under investigation. Two men'sbathrooms in the Viking Union might have to be painted because of excessive graffiti drawn thereThursday night, Jim Schuster, associate VU director, said. The punk rock groups, The Avengers andThe Enemy, performed in the VU Lounge that night. More graffiti was drawn that night than duringmost events, Schuster said. The first floor men's bathroom might have to be completely painted and the second floor bathroom might need one wall painted. "We can scrub it off with 'graffiti remover' but itmight look so bad we could have to paint," he said. "A big 'A' was drawn all over ... and stickers saying"For your information —- The Enemy" were placed on clocks and oh painted walls," Schuster said.Fighting graffiti here is a "constant battle," Schuster said. The inside of the VU elevator was paintedtwice this year, "and I go down and find someone has scratched into the bare metal," he said. "I canappreciate needing artistic outlets," Schuster said. "I even thought of putting up chalkboards aboveurinals. It has been done in other (student) unions but the boards have been broken." Schuster had no estimate of damage caused by graffiti but said a custodian here is paid $6.50 an hour to cleanscrubbing away graffiti takes him away from his other duties, Schuster said. PUNK VANDALS —Spare-time dissidents attack the American political machine at its roots, flushing tax dollars down thedrain. byRIPROBBINS Smiles of hope were reflected in the wet sidewalk outside the federal building inBellingham Friday afternoon. Typically the payday for Americans, it was the day for a demonstrationpromoting resistance to paying taxes without representation as to how that money is spent. Handing out leaflets and carrying signs, 20 to 25 persons defied a chilling rain to announce their discontent withpaying for military expenditures. Lucia Smith-Mueller, a spokeswoman for the Pacific Life Community,organizers of the demonstration, said the protest took place to point out that "52 percent of (the federal)income tax goes to killing that we've done and killing that we're going to do." The Internal RevenueService includes the Federal Insurance Company of America (F.I.C.A.) tax in its calculations. IRS said the total military budget is only 36 percent of the tax dollars. Smith-Mueller added the demonstrationwould generate publicity for the May 21 and 22 meeting at the Trident Submarine base at Bangor,Wash. Live Without Trident, and anti-nuclear war group, estimates several thousand people will attendthat demonstration. "I'm here to make people aware" of the problem, Steve Hood said. He carried a sign depicting an Internal Revenue Service door with a card that read "Closed. Send check to Pentagon."Hood said people concerned about excessive military spending should go to the Trident base to proteston May 22. "People can write to congressmen and friends" if they can't protest in person, Hodd added.Smith-Mueller said another way to protest is to refuse to pay the 50 percent of tax money being used for military purposes. The demonstrators were received with mixed reactions by passersby. For everyperson that stopped or took one of the leaflets, another pushed on, ignoring the whole display. "If youdon't like taxes, move to Russia," was the remark of one man when offered a leaflet. The leaflet headlineread, "One Trident sub could educate every kid in Bellingham." It said the cost of the sub, $2 million,would sustain the school system for 144 years. "I don't like taxes any more than you do," said one.woman who also declined the leaflets. Smith-Mueller said, "We invite nuclear annihilation when werefuse to speak and act against it I'm here so that Heidi (her daughter) and all of the born and unborn can grown up, can have a future." Earlier Friday afternoon, a smaller demonstration occurred, attended by seven to 10 persons. Mike Marker, a local folk singer, played his guitar and sang. Linda Ellsworthconducted a survey, asking people how they wanted their tax money spent. Eighty-two personsparticipated by placing 10 coupons representing the federal income tax, exluding the FICA tax, into four boxes. The boxes were labeled Military, ("current expenditures and cost of past wars") PhysicalResources ("commerce, transportation, environment, energy, agriculture and communitydevelopment") Human Resources ("education,* health, social services and human power") andImproving World Relations ("non-military solutions to international conflicts"). "I tried to get a cross-section of people to participate," Ellsworth said. The final tabulation showed human resourcesgetting 40.7 percent of the tax dollars while physical resources received 32.3 percent. Improvingworld relations was allocated 20.5 percent while the military budget was 6.1 percent of all tax dollars. ---------- Western Front - 1978 April 18 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, April 18, 1978 Western Front 3 Lighthouse Mission: a lantern in the night by PAT KINGAlcohol and drugs can ravage a man's body, his mind and rack his spirit. Men living at 910 W. Holly,Belling-ham's Light House Mission, have tasted life's rawest challenges, but they are keeping theirdreams alive. Their faces might be gnarled and gnashed, but they have potential to improve this worldand teach us something. "The public thinks this is where the bums go. That is not true. These aremen," the Rev. Al Archer, executive program director at the gray, three-story, concrete-block structure.Fifty percent of the men here have alcohol-drug problems, 30 percent have rugged emotional challenges,20 percent need a place to stay, Archer said. The mission houses 55 men. Usually it's two-thirds full, Archer said. Often it overflows. Residents come from "everywhere." Most stay a month or two. TheLight House is different from most rescue missions which save souls with a little coercion by exploiting a man's hunger and need for a bed. Waldemar Pallasch, rehabilitation supervisor, said. Pallaschcame to America from Germany in 1967. He said he nearly died once from drug and alcohol abuse."We focus on what an alcoholic is going to do about his problem," Pallasch said. "The median agehere is 25 to 26. Today we have poly-drug addicts," Pallasch said. "They burn out in seven years. Theyuse everything: pills, acid, Valium, grass, booze ... some are shooting shit (Heroin)." No man is turnedaway at the mission. Room and board are free. "We don't feed the men, pray, kick them out andchange sheets once a week," Pallasch said. This sometimes happens in large Seattle missions,Pallasch said. The program at the Light House is called "Mission Possible." Men in the program are"MPs." Men come to the mission from hospitals, social workers, clergy, courts, probation officers anddoctors. Some come from Whatcom County Detoxification Center, the street and the transient housing part of the mission. The mission has two sleeping sections. One is for men in the "rehabilitation"program, those "sick and tired of being sick and tired," an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) motto. Men in"rehab" are working on positive life changes, Archer said. The other sleeping area is for the "transient"group, men still struggling to take the first step of wanting to change. "We receive no federal or statefunds here," Archer said. "We get nothing from United Good Neighbor Fund," Archer said. All moneycomes from churches, individual donations and the second-hand mission store located across thestreet. Farmers in Lynden donate a lot of the mission's food. People in Mount Vernon provide abouttwo old milk cows yearly for meat, Pallasch said. "It's not the best, but it's meat. It's nourishment,"Pallasch said. "We've had people come in and say their husband or wife is sick. They need aprescription. They're broke. We help," Archer said. The goal at the Mission is physical, spiritual,emotional and psychological rehabilitation for its residents. Archer and Pallasch encourage men tostrive for a productive, satisfying; sober life,* rather than just' attaining "bored dryness." To entefMission Possible, men must want to make some life changes. First a man at the Mission gets anexhaustive interview and evaluation. Then he goes through a four-phase program in which his curfewtime gradually lengthens. Men vote for each other's advancements,Pallasch explained. Residents attend AA meetings, church services, rap sessions. In the end, however, only the individual can master hisown life, Pallasch said. Archer defines "success" for an alcoholic as "two years without drinking."During the day, men job hunt, work at the Light House store, sweep, dust and mop the dorms. Someperform desk duty or tackle kitchen chores. Others drive the mssion truck used to pick up storedonations. Counselors help men with school and job goals. The mission house was built in 1972 forabout $500,000. "The roof leaks," Pallasch said. Poindexter Cosby, 31, from Richmond, Va. has livedat the Mission one month. He works as an orderly in a local nursing home. The mission has an amplekitchen with dining areas, day rooms for reading or TV, a chapel, counseling offices, the bunk rooms and a "think room." "Guys come here to get their thoughts together," Cosby said. A dull, grey samenessdominates every feature, but the place basically is clean. Pallasch hopes to brighten it with paint andbuild barriers and storage chests to give privacy to the men. But money is short now, he said."Employers hear you're living at the mission and back off. They figure you have a problem. People ride by and look at us like dirt," he said. "These men should feel needed. Give them something to hope for,build 'em up. This is a decent place to live. The public cuts these men down, slices 'em up. Sure, wehave problems ... but that drunk or convict is no different than that man behind the desk in his suit*"Cosby said. Many men living at the mission are trying. They said they feel Bellingham employers arenot. "It's up to us to make something of ourselves. This place helps a man get on his feet," Charlie said. A set of weights rests quietly in back of the mission, where a grizzled, leather-faced man drags deeplyon a smoke and squints toward Bellingham Bay. Charlie Saunders, a mission resident, said he isstudying horticulture, landscaping, and gardening at a local vocational school. "Bellingham is aconservative town," Pallasch explained. "These men need acceptance." As he was talking, a gasping,scarlet-faced, . white-haired man burst into Pall-asch's office. "Jimmy's overdosing on valium and can'tcontrol his bladder. He wants to go to the hospital," the man blurted. Pallasch went to help him.Summer Session June 19 to August 18 Professional training in: DANCE DESIGN FINEARTS MUSICTHEATER BFA. BM.

Rm 214 Edens Hall ---------- Western Front - 1978 April 18 - Page 4 ---------- A : Western Front Tuesday, April 18,1978 Op/Ed Our pompous picks It hasn't been easy deciding which candidates to endorse for this year's Associated Students election. Only one candidate, Rita Fernandez, stands out as someone who will serve the student body in a responsive, competent way. The rest of thefield is running even in most respects — where one candidate is strong, his or her opponent is weak and vice versa. Important issues — such as the new university governance proposal, the AS recognitionpolicy for student groups and the allocation of student funds — were raised during the campaign, but noone seemed to have the answers. Candidate responses usually were couched in bureaucratic rhetoric — on most issues, they could come up with the what and the who, but were lacking on the how and thewhen. In addition, many of the issues claimed by various candidates as part of their platforms fall outsidethe scope of the AS. Despite all this, we feel students can choose a team of student legislators that willprovide Western with sound leadership and guidance. The key is to keep the new AS Board on its toesby making its members aware of student feelings and needs. Most of our choices seem willing to keepan ear toward their constituency. Of the four persons running for the AS presidency, Tracey Maxwell ofthe new Western Commonwealth Party impresses us as the most likely to succeed at the head of thetable. He offers a healthy mix of an insider's experience and an outsider's energy that might just do thetrick. We see no reason to return Greg Webley or Kurt Hanson to the board. Both have had opportunitiesto put their ideas to work and implement change; both have come up short. This holds true for MikeAc'ord as well. Doug Scott, our choice for vice president of internal affairs, probably is our second favoritecandidate overall. He has an uncanny knack for picking the "unpopular" side of an issue — likeretroactive pay for students to conform with the starting date of the federal minimum wage hike; like fewer AS Board executive sessions; like maintaining student representation in the university governingstructure. Scott has been trying for a spot on the board for some time. We hope he makes it this year. Our favorite candidate is Rita Fernandez, who is running for vice president of external affairs. She hasbeen somewhat of a sparkplug for the AS since she took on the job of business manager last year. Sheis capable, personable, unpretentious, someone who gets things done. The student body could hardly do better. No one is running against Scott Allen for the position of secretary/treasurer. We wish this wasn'tthe case, but feel comfortable with Allen's presence on the board. No one at all is running for servicescouncil representative, which just plain stinks. Of the three candidates running for activities councilrepresentative, Donald Severson has shown himself to be more level-headed in his positions on issuesand in his voting. Severson, an active Christian, voted against allowing religious groups access tocampus facilities because he believed more would be lost than gained for the student body. Regardlessof the issue, he showed us he is not bound by doctrine or group pressure; he votes according to whatwould do the most good for the greatest amount of people. And that's a good sign. No one applied for theposition of facilities council representative. Mary Ennes, the lone candidate for recreation councilrepresentative, did not submit a statement to the Front, nor did she attend the candidates' forum Friday inthe VU lounge. In the race for the first at large position, Jess Mann, another Western CommonwealthParty member, gets our vote. We have no preference in the race for the second at large position.Editorial Policy Opinions expressed in editorials are those of the Western Front and not necessarilythose of the university or the student body.

HIDE"WE X-RA7ED (DOOWlNAPKINS" Beating the AS system The story of Dee Zerving, student, applied for an annual scholarship this year, which she has received for the last two years, because of heradeptness in intellectual and scholarly endeavors. But this year she didn't get it, because thescholarship committee from R. Bitrary University thought someone else might benefit from the fund. Socompetent Dee was left without a scholarship, until she found another scholarship for which she waseligible — but which came from the same fund. The amount of the second matched the first and Dee,being an intellectual and scholar, overcame the loss of advantages which were Opinion presented herwith the original scholarship. And so, barring a few minor inconveniences, Dee, for all intents andpurposes, received her money while formality did not suffer one blow. Flip Breskin, current MamaSunday's coordinator and newly-hired social issues director for the 1978-79 Program Commission hasundergone a similar experience. Due to an AS employment policy, which states that a student can notbe employed in the same AS position for more than two consecutive years, Breskin has received theboot from her position as the program's coordinator. She was granted a policy exemption by theActivities Council, but then it was denied her by the AS Board of Directors. So she applied for theposition of social issues director and was hired by an AS hiring committee. A spokesman for the ASstated in a recent Front article that the reason for the employment policy is two-fold: First, it prevents ASprograms from becoming extensions of "personal philosophies." It also allows more students access to decision-making jobs in the AS. The first rationale for this policy is well-taken and its validity opposed to Breskin's superb ability as Mama Sunday's coordinator might be argued endlessly. The acts that shehas booked at the costs she has secured proves her ability. An inconsistency can be found, however, inrationale two for the policy. If the sharing of programming experience is to take priority over the finalproduct that a trained programmer such as Breskin might give, then the transfer of Breskin to the socialissues position is a contradiction to the AS rationale. It seems that the two actions taken by the ASskirt a rule, but at the same time avoid the setting of a precedent. In a way move one is admirable, forgranting Breskin the exemption might be an inappropriate breaking of a rule and move two has its meritsbecause Breskin's fine quality as a programmer should not be lost to that rule. The two moves Dee andFlip together, however, make an incongruency in decision-making. A better solution would be to abolishthe employment policy altogether. Its purpose is well-intentioned but not well-planned. Rationale one issound but other means exist for preventing personal philosophies from entering a job. While Breskin hasretained her job for two years, she has had to re-apply for it each academic year. The policy should notserve as a way to detain a person who has been hired erroneously. Furthermore, students (the onlyeligible people for AS jobs) are paying fees which should grant them the right to apply for any AS job they desire. When Breskin ceases to be a student, her term will expire automatically at any AS job she has. Fortunately Breskin will be retained as a valuable entity in AS programming and Dee will overcome notgetting the appropriate scholarship. But unless the AS and scholarship committee's policies change,such a slip-up in policy planning might not work to the advantage of those involved in future cases. - LIZRUST Staff EDITOR: Angelo Bruscas MANAGING EDITOR: Clay Hard NEWS EDITOR: Jessie Milligan ASST.

If I were the only one associated with the Western Foundation, Iwould evaluate the source of the criticism and doubt if I would respond. Since I am not the only one withthe foundation, I feel obligated to provide a bit of missed homework of the first writer. I especially feelan obligation to the 10 students who currently are employed by the foundation and are an important partof its success. This past month the foundation accumulated, for the first time in its history, more than $100,000 value in gifts. This is more than double the amount raised for this time one year ago. Thestudent callers working on the continuous Phon-a-Thon are having better results now than anytimeearlier in their phone calls to alumni for contributions. Some evenings, the responses have been ashigh as 80 percent positive response to requests for support. Their effort is part of a drive to get 3,000individual contributors before the end of this fiscal year. Their efforts last year for helping improveindividual contributors from 837 to 1,400 played an important part in placing the university in the. finals for a United States Steel Award for improvement in annual giving. There were over 1,373 institutionsparticipating for recognition, and Western is one of the few to make the finals. Our objectives for thisyear, when compared to recent years, will equal as high as 800 percent improvement in value of giftsand 500 percent in increased numbers of contributors. Using the West Virginia UniversityFoundation as our model, we set out to establish a policy and procedures manual for the WesternFoundation. We accomplished this in the 12th year of the foundation's existence. At West Virginia, itwas accomplished in its foundation's 21st year. At the same time this was being accomplished, theboard was being expanded and reorganized. This included the adding of the president of theAssociated Students to our board, the creation of an investment committee, headed by Dean RobertCollier and the consolidation of all funds now totaling $214,292. In regard to the five-year moratorium forthe scholarship program, I am sorry you didn't question me concerning that topic. I could have sharedwith you plans that are projected at raising the needed funds in half the projected moratorium period. I believe when you called the foundation, you questioned me about our investment policy, and it appeared there was hope you would find our money in gold investments in South Africa. When that didn'thappen, I guess the next best thing was the moratorium. Your use of the innuendo was superb, butconsiderably inaccurate: "Not all the details sur rounding the new policy are known — the foundationis a private organization and is not bound by any law to make its records public." All the information you asked for was provided as has been the case with any other re-questes we have received from theFront. Please remember it's Shakey Pizza and the Western Foundation. David E. Tork FoundationDirector Thanks for giving blood Editor, WESTERN FRONT: I wish to express the appreciation of theWhatcom County Blood Donor Council to the students and the staff of Western Washington University for their continuing strong support of our local blood program. Western has always been a principalsource of blood for Whatcom County and the 852 pints of blood drawn at Western represented one-third of all of the blood drawn in Whatcom County during 1977.

She said it would set a precedent for the state. Asked ifwomen's campaigns are suppressed, she said there is room for improvement. More male voices areheard because more male programs are offered, such as varsity sports, she said. Scott denied thathe told University President Paul Olscamp to "mind his own business" regarding the president'sdisapproval of the wet T-shirt contest. "My position is that it's a dorm issue, not an AS issue. They(the contest organizers) went through the right channels and no one should have the right to say 'no' to them," he said. "Lack of contestants is the way to stop it," he added. Candidates for vice president ofexternal affairs are Ian McDonald and Rita Fernandez. McDonald said he was concerned withmaking students' interests clear and seeking student participation outside the AS. "We mustrepresent the students and not just the AS," he said. "The AS should initiate proposals and not justreceive them." He suggested less firm commitments to endangered programs such as Fairhaven."We should just throw them a bone. If the demand (for the program) isn't there, the program should beendangered," he said. He also emphasized more careful funding and avoiding the allocation of funds "towhat ever small group makes the best presentation." Fernandez emphasized her experience in the ASas business manager and member of several committees. She recommended student representatives attend various committee meetings and issuing an annual printed report of AS 15% off all Dry Cleaning (excluding leather) College I.D.

Maybe bloody marys, or ecology and population dynamics? Too depressing, all deadends. You might try some women's awareness of selfness, or how about maharjee mooshie with creamand sugar, or thirty-five thou as a bank vice president. There must be something that will satisfy thatthirst; not the one in your mouth, the one in your guts that is thirsting for something real. That's whypeople "get religious," study religious rituals and traditions, or even seriously and devoutly go through themotions trying to touch God. We need a new drink. Something light and life-giving, without perversephysical, mental and social side effects. We need to drink the water of life. Our God is a drink. Asatisfying refreshing drink, not merely an historical figure that lived two thousand years ago. What goodwould that do us? God is not fust a word in a book, or someone we go to be taught about once a week...for an hour. Nor is He just in the heavens, or a concept in our brain. By experience, we have realizedthat our finite human mind just can't appropriate all that God is. And yet He is available to us. Not as aconcept to think about and analyze. But as the living water for us to drink and be satisfied. This livingwater is not a doctrine, tradition or creed. It is the living Lord Jesus Himself. "If any man thirst let himcome to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture said, out of his belly shall flow rivers ofliving water." ' If you're drinking money and big muscles, or the earth's projected food and populationcurves for the next twenty years, how can you be satisfied? If you're reveling in your awareness of self, orimbibing "wet t-shirts" with the boys from Highland Hall, you're selling yourself far short. We can enjoy aliving, and daily subjective experience of Christ. The Bible reveals a simple way to contact (drink) the Lord, "For the same Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him." Why not respond to God's invitation. "Let himwho is thirsty also come; he who wills, let him take the water of life freely." We can drink that water justby calling on His name. OH LORD JESUS! Christian Students 671-2221 activities. "The AS needs toevaluate itself, and not just the faculty," she said. Fernandez said her top priority is a student majority on the services and activities ad hoc committee, which funds the AS. Scott Allen is the onlycandidate for secretary-treasurer. His goals include better campus lighting, better and more equalcampus wages, supporting Fairhaven, longer hours for food services, equal treatment for religiousgroups, bus shelters and more activities. Candidates for activities representatives are Don Severson, Gary Gillespie and Mike Du Beau. Severson said more clubs and workshops and better concertsare needed. He suggested using KUGS radio and surveys to increase student participation. Hedefended his vote on the activities council for the recognition policy limiting religious gatherings. "I'm a Christian myself, so it was a hard decision. You must look at how many people will benefit." The policy says religious groups are not AS groups and are not entitled to AS meeting privileges. Gillespie sharply criticized Severson for supporting the policy, which he said will take away the right to assemble from11 student organizations. He said a better film program is needed, but not necessarily more films. DuBeau referred to his lack of political experience as an advantage. "I'm a political newcomer and haven'tdeveloped favoritism for any interests," he said. He emphasizes "going out to the students and notwaiting for them to come to us." Candidates for director at large position #9 are Jay Parks and JessMann. Parks said a wet T-shirt contest is fine if it's what the majority of students want. "If thestudents want it, a wet jockey short contest would be fine with me also," he said. He also recommended long range planning for better athletic fields, an expanded gym, more tennis courts, parking oncentral campus and a larger bookstore. Mann said his most important goal is seeking studentopinion. He suggested getting more resources for Student Focus, the campus newsletter, and movingAS board meetings to different campus locations to seek more student involvement. Candidates fordirector at large position #10 are Dave Hillis and Bruce Thompson. Hillis said he is running because-he has never been involved in school government, and wants to be. He said work on student evaluation of faculty should continue. Hillis said student apathy is not a problem and lack of effectiveness, ofthe AS lies with the AS board. Working with the Front is a good way to communicate with students, hesaid. Thompson and Mary Ennes, the only candidate for recreation representative, did not participatein the speeches. ---------- Western Front - 1978 April 18 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, April 18,1978 Western Front 7 Where will thev go? Co-op school may lose space Folkloresymposium set by LAURA MERKEL The Bellingham Cooperative School might be asked to move offthe Fairhaven campus at the end of this year if Housing and Dining decides to use the space the schooloccupies as a student lounge. The school, located on the bottom floor of stack 4 in Fairhaven, hasrented the space from Housing at $400 a month for the past four years. It serves 42 children in gradeskindergarten through fifth, many of them children of Western students and faculty. The decision not torenew the school's lease is part of a general move to "bring some orderliness to the Fairhavencomplex," Housing Director Pete Coy said. There have been complaints from students living in theFairhaven dorms about the lack of lounge space and the occasional noise of the children. The privateschool grew out of the Bellingham Cooperative Nursery nine years ago, when a group of parents wantedto take an active part in the education of their children, Philip Ager, Fairhaven dean said. It was housedin various buildings during its early years, including two years at a golf course club house where FredMeyer now stands. The school moved onto the Fairhaven campus when space was available. "At thistime, stack 4 was totally empty," Coy said. "It was no problem to let them rent out the space, and theresidents liked having the children there." "Living in a multi-generational community is a rewardingexperience," director Kendall Frazier said. "Not many students feel that we're depriving them oflounge space. The space in other dorms is not used by most of the students anyway." Ager has beenlooking into the possibility of using the school as a learning situation for Fairhaven students.Education students now use the school as a training opportunity, receiving credits for theirparticipation. "It occurs to me that if Fairhaven is truly committed to alternative educational styles,preparation for teaching in alternative schools might somehow be attached to our program," Agersaid in memo to the Fairhaven community dated April 5. Ager said if the community did not expressinterest in keeping the school at Fairhaven,* he would not appeal for its continuation. The AS DayCare Center, located in stacks 10 and 11, will not be affected by the decision on the school. Proposalshave been made to move the day care into Stern's House next year. The house currently is occupied by the home economics department and will be vacant next year when the department transfers into the newly-renovated sections of Old Main. * The house would then be remodeled to provide adequatefacilites for a day care center. The student-funded center has been in operation since 1972 and usesWestern students and volunteers who gain credits through various programs. Housing goes up On-campus housing rates probably will increase by about five percent for next year, Housing Director PeteCoy, said. The estimate is made by projecting how many students will be enrolled and looking at other considerations, such as inflation, Coy said. The estimates are usually accurate to one half of onepercent. This year's increase was also about five percent. The original estimated increase was aboutseven percent, but Service and Activity Fees funds were higher than expected because of a surprisejump in Western's enrollment, Coy said. The increase affects on-campus apartment complexes aswell as residence halls. The rates don't change in proportion to the increased cost of operating eachbuilding. "It's kind of a socialistic system," Coy said. If one building is making a profit and another islosing money, the total operating cost is averaged ouVh'e'said. A local folklore symposium is plannedfor May 5, 6 and 7 at Western. Presented by the liberal studies department, the symposium titled,"Folklore of the Northwest Corner: Preserving Community Traditions," will feature lectures,workshops and seminars. Co-sponsored by the American Studies and the Ethnic Studies programs at Western and the Whatcom Museum of History and Art, the symposium will provide information onfolklore sources and resources of the northwest portion of Washington and how to preserve this localfolklore before it is lost. Joseph Campbell, author of The Masks of God, The Hero With a ThousandFaces, Myths to Live By and other works on myth and folklore, will be the keynote speaker. Otherspeakers and panelists include Barre Toelken, Jan Brunvand, John C. Ashford, Lois Meyers, FredWillard and others from the community who have knowledge of its folklore. The first day will introducethe folk groups of the region and organizations involved in studying and saving legends, customs andtraditions. The second day will be devoted to methods of gathering and studying folklore and some ofthe regional folklore. The final day will involve surveying and debating the role of various privateorganizations and political agencies in preserving folklore. Visits to historic sites, exhibits of folklore material, a food bazaar and a folk dance also are planned. The symposium is open to anyoneinterested in studying and preserving regional folklore.

Mike Acord said he thinks students should vote for his experience. Acord, whosespecially-designed major is "research in adult corrections," has experience as Recreation Councilchairman, and as a member of the Bookstore Council, Facilities Council, Financial Aid I Committee,College Services Council, and the All-University Senate. He said his experience on the All-UniversitySenate gave him an understanding of Western's present governance system, the proposed governancesystem and the personalities of the administrators and faculty members who make policies at Western. Acord said as a bookstore council member he learned that the major problem the student co-op has iscommunication between the bookstore and the faculty and the bookstore and students. "If we solve theproblem of a lack of communication, prices will be reduced because of fewer costly mistakes inordering," he said. Kurt Hanson, 23, said the biggest concern among students "is whether or notwe are getting our money's worth from the AS. Presently, we pay about $40 a year into the organization but I question the true dollar return for each student." Hanson said he would like to see more expansion of AS services, such as a Women's Commission, better concerts and more student involvement in ASpolicy making. A High Street bus shelter, more bulletin board space and allowing religious and politicalgroups to use campus facilities free of charge were cited by Hanson as his primary areas of concern.Hanson, an accounting and economics major, served as activities representative on the AS Board ofDirectors this year. Greg Webley doesn't see student government the way the other candidates forpresident do. "All these people are talking about what they believe in — I don't think that's what it's allabout," Webley said. "Everyone gets involved in something ... tide '1,000 Indian' crowd, the CampusChristian Ministry ... Pete's Tavern, or whatever — I get involved in student government," he said. Hesaid he has got some gripes, "like the lack of concerts at Western this year," and experience.Webley is now AS vice president for external affairs. He also is a member of the All-UniversitySenate and chairman of the Student Caucus on the All- University Senate. He has been AS vicepresident for internal affairs and held AS board position 10. R. S. {"Tracy") Maxwell, a politicalscience major, has six major objectives as an AS candidate. These are encouraging an "interaction ofideas" between the faculty, administration and students; "re-vitalizing" student government tomake it more responsive to students; stimulating communication between Western and the clustercolleges; better informing students about what their student government is doing; using the nextlegislative session to present views in Olym-pia and helping improve Western's academic quality.Maxwell is a former All-College senator (1976) and sat on the Faculty Evaluation Committee. VicePresident-Internal Affairs #2 Vice President-Academic Affairs #3 Kathleen Kilcullen Doug Scott KathleenKilcullen thinks AS government needs consistency. As vice president for internal affairs, she said shefeels she could smooth out the operations of the councils with a common formula of procedure.Kilcullen, a 26 year old 'political science major, has been involved on the AS Board as recreation council representative, and AS budget authority for the Political Science Association. She also hasserved as a senator for the Washington Student Legislature. Kilcullen said she wants to look intothe "potential" for a university-maintained mandatory recycling system, expanding the eveningshuttle service, and investigating feasibilities of covered motorcycle parking. Among the issues thatDoug Scott, 20, identified as important to students were pay scales of student employees and the AS Board of Directors. Student employees might not receive the federal increase in minimum wage inJanuary that Scott said he thinks they are entitled to. Federal law exempts public institutions fromfederal pay standards but departments here might decide to pay the 25 cent an hour increase. Scottquestions whether board member's salaries should increase. "At least not the 20 percent granted tostate employees," he said. Scott also questioned whether mid-term deficiency reports should havebeen abolished. He is a member of the All-University Senate and the Parking Appeals Board. RitaFernandez J ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ K : ; ^ _ •ft'' :: Bfl Rita Fernandez, candidate for vice president of external affairs, wants to put the "life" of the student into AS government by caucusing with Western students.Fernandez said if she is elected, she will actively seek student interest and involvement. She will dothis by being a part of the campus as well as a part of student government. Fernandez is presently amember of the Task Force on state-supported part-time student employment funds search. She is aformer AS Business Manager, and a member of the College Services Council. Ian McDonald Thecandidate's photograph was not available. "My most important task, if elected, will be to articulate those problems which threaten academic quality at Western and propose solutions," Ian McDonald said.McDonald, a 20-year-old political science major, said the university governance structure mustencourage student initiatives on academic policy, Student power is really the power to influence, ratherthan being an actual part of the governance structure, he said. McDonald said the AS must definestudent interests that can be accommodated in campus organizations. Further- . more, the AS boardshould initiate spending proposals, "not just pass judgment on proposals it receives." he said. TheAS must promote awareness and involvement on student issues, McDonald said. ---------- Western Front - 1978 April 18 - Page 9 ---------- Sec/Treas #4 Activities Council Representative #6 Rec Council #8 Scott Allen Scott Allen, a 23 year oldhistory-political science major, summed up his two reasons for running for office. Allen intends, first ofall, to bring new ideas and enthusiasm to the student government. He wants to rid the students ofWestern of some of their apathy towards student government. His second reason is fun. After havingserved in dorm government and on the Inter- Hall Council, he met many new people, he said, and looksfoward to meeting more if elected. Mike DuBeau Gary Gillespie Don Severson The candidate'sphotograph was not available. Michael DuBeau, 22, said he is not satisfied wit the activities that wereoffered to Western students during the past year. Dubeau said he would try to bring more concerts andmovies to Western. DuBeau said student needs are not represented. He said he thinks the presentActivities Council and the AS board are spending too much time in their offices and not talking tostudents. "I think I should find out what students want and get it for them," he said. DuBeau, apolitical science major, said although he has no experience in student affairs he will offer a freshapproach for dealing with student needs. "I'll give it to the people straight," he said. main issueidentifiecTby Gary Gillespie, 23, was Western's recognition policy for student groups. "One of myopponents voted for the exile of religious groups and I think that's unfair and unnecessary," Gillespiesaid. Gillespie said he has talked with many students who share his opinion. Gillespie said he would be a better representative of student interests and would seek more involvement from his constituents.Gillespie, a speech communications major, said bis experience in debate will help him be animportant and active student representative. Making students aware of the Activities Council and what it does is the goal of Donald Severson, 21. Another goal is to establish better communication betweenthe Program Commission,, the AS Board of Directors and the Activities Council, Severson said. "I would be in a position to serve as a liaison between the groups," he said. Severson said he also would like towork closely with the Program Commission is an effort to bring more concerts to Western. He addedhe would try to get more student involvement for the activities that are offered on campus. Severson,who has majors in both anthropology and history, has served on the council for two years. Mary EnnesMary Ennes, 19, is running unopposed as a representative of the Recreation Council. "The academiclevel of education is of main importance, but I believe that it also is important for Western studentsto realize the vast amount of recreational opportunities (available) to them," Ennes said. Ennes is amember of the Campus Christian Fellowship and the Sailing Club. At-Large Representative #9 At-LargeRepresentative #10 Voting Info Jess Mann Jay Parks Jess Mann is running on the WesternCommonwealth ticket for Director at Large Position nine. The 23 year old political science major feelshis responsibilities will include seeking out the views of the students. He pledged to find new ways toseek and implement views of Western students. Mann said it would be in this way that the students'wishes will be better understood by the AS Board. Jay Parks, 19, said a parking garage here might beone of the most important campus issues he could give bis support to. "If approved, (the garage) wouldbe constructed on the parking lot below the Viking Union. It would provide badly-needed parking space in the center of campus. When built, the top floor would become the new bookstore. It would give usmuch needed room, solve the long-line problem and allow the bookstore to expand," he said. Parks alsosupports a pub on campus. "We should push for it this year," he added. A science fiction film seriesnext year and additional funds for campus radio station KUGS to buy more albums are also on Parks list of priorities. Bruce Thompson Dave Hillis Bruce Thompson, a business administration major, isrunning for Director at Large, Position 10. At 20 years old, Thompson said he can provide a neededservice for students while he is furthering his education. "My goal is to revive student participation in ourgovernment," Thompson said. Dave Hillis, sophomore business administration major, said students have a "total lack of concern of political processes." If elected, Hillis said he will act as a link betweenstudents and the AS. Hillis, who is running for the AS at-large position 10, said one of bis biggestconcerns is the division of students at 'Western. Hillis cited the controversy over AS recognition ofcampus Christian groups as a major division. "I'm neither for nor against any group, I just don't like these divisions." "I think my best qualification is that I can relate to people," he said. He said he feels this isimportant in making more people aware of the AS. Wednesday and Thursday will be your last chance. The annual spring Associated Students election is taking place this week to appoint a new Board ofDirectors for next year. Any registered student is able to vote tomorrow and Thursday at poll booths sotup on campus. Booths will be operating on Red Square from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and in the VU art galleryfoyer from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both days.

Give it all of those negative characteristics some parents use to degrade rock 'n' roll. No matter what argument you might use to demean punk rock as modern music, it was given a fair chanceThursday evening in the VU Lounge and passed the test decisively. Although punk music managed to infiltrate record stores, it is the visual concept of punk which best defines the music's intent. Punkmusic is loud, mostly unintelligible and often consists of political or social statements reported in lessthan four-chord attacks. The punk performer makes his art legitimate. - Punk musicians use their music as a venue for satirical chaos. They are foul characters who don't brush their teeth, who spit into theaudience and cavort wildly onstage tossing obscenities at the crowd. But punks boast oneimportant characteristic that most rock 'n' roll musicians lack. Punk rockers are concerned withmaking their audiences have a good time, not with showing audiences how^ great they are. Those whoattended the recent performance of The Avengers and The Enemies, whether just curious bystandersor ardent supporters of punk, must admit that this goal, was accomplished. On the surface, Western'sbaptism to punk appeared to be little more than a Halloween party in mid-April. While the curiosityseekers clung to the rear seeking shelter for their ringing ears, a fairly large contingency of punks, orpsuedo-punks as the case might be, clung at the foot of the stage in splendid attire. Several wore. "IHate" T-shirts. Most wore black sunglasses which glared in contrast to their, paley painted skin, yetthe safety pins and razorblades often stereotyped with punk were left at home. The Enemies, anorthwest-based act, launced the show with a rapid-fire set of tunes full of loud, inaudible chordsworking at a frantic pace. The band, a five-piece, short-haired army consisting of two guitarists, bass,drums and a female vocalist paused to introduce their tunes and to ex-i change continual but good*natured profanities with those pressed close to the stage. By their third number, the group's energybegan to rumble through the crowd. "I Am a Nasty Person," a new song, brought about a water war, asthe band spit water from paper cups onto those up front. The crowd retaliated by showering the Enemies (affectionately, mind you) with wads of paper, popcorn and water. For 45 minutes, the Enemies carriedout their frenzied high level of intensity. Their set closed with the encore, "I Need an Enemy." Many ofthe curious drifted home, neutralized by the noise and satisfied with a glimpse of punk. For those whoremained, the VU Lounge became gymnasium. The headlining Avengers are a Bay Area band whichrecently gained notoriety appearing as a back-up act for the Sex Pistols' San Francisco show. Led by vocalist Penelope, whom the punk press has crowned "the queen of punk," the four-piece group spendslittle time on theatrics, concentrating instead on using their music as their weapon. The song titleswere un necessary, their lyrics clearly . inaudible, yet the four bizarre, short-haired bundles of energyperformed punk magic by transforming the dance floor into a mass of wild, frenzied dancers who light-heartedly pushed and shoved each other around (a popular punk dance step) in energetic release. Eventhe curious began to feel the pull. Like a vacuum cleaner sucking up stray matchsticks, the remaining100 plus were caught up in the action. The Avenger's 30-minute set featured two standard rockclassics. "Paint it Black" and "Money," as well as several originals, "I Believe in Pain" included.Returning to a rowdy ovation alongside boos (you must remember boos are an important element ofpunk), the Avengers converted the VU into a virtual steambath with "Car Crash. Aesthetically, this wasone of the weakest, low-quality musical events I ever have attended, yet culturally, I seldom havebeen so impressed with crowd response. It was not important how good these bands were; whatmattered was that in less than two hours, they had provided an audience gathered more out of curiositythan ol interest with a physical outlet for their frustrations. In closing, let this reporter g( on record asone who believes that if rock bands such as Striker took their music half at seriously as the Avengerswhose primary concern is giv ing the crowd a good time, i would be easier to accept thei obnoxiousrepetition and then desire to steal a few leaves o the musical money tree.

PDT, which performed withauthor Tom Robbins narrating Friday, has an elaborate set as well as a number, of lighting and soundchanges during a performance. The dancers' roles seem simple compared to the menagerie of wires,tubes and intercom systems that must be cared for on stage. Yet nothing is simple about the dancer'sparticipation. "We are losing sound in the speaker," dancer, director and choreographer Jann McCauleywhispered to stage manager Peter West as she prepared for an entrance. Without the needed sound,dancers onstage might miss their cues. Dancers Greg Bielemeier, Ann Bruner, F. Charles Hubbard,Hilarie Neely and Carl Rowe, who comprise the remainder of the company, all have chores to attendbetween entrances. Some keep their bodies moving, because chills on their well-developed musclesmight make the difference between a correct and incorrect leap. Some hurriedly and nervously makequick costume changes on stage, often completing their tasks just in time for an entrance. Regardlessof these chores, none take their eyes off of center stage. Robbins, who humorously narrates the third act of this piece titled "Ear Heart," fluctuates between sitting cross-legged in a folding chair next to thelighting board and standing near the curtain. The lights for this performance are circuited onto only 22controls, but these controls are changed constantly to create different effects. The changes are issued by West, who simultaneously monitors the sound system and directs the stage crew. "Go...one, two,three," might bring a purple beam down on a dancer or a slow fade-out of all lights. The set, designedand maintained during performance by David Cotter, is an elaborate sculpture of tall and wide plasticshapes which inflate and deflate throughout the number. It demands constant attention and regulationthroughout the performance and is rearranged between acts. "I hope it doesn't fall down tonight," onedancer murmured. "It never has, but I hope it doesn't." The slightest mistake or miscalculation with thisfragilely supported set might mean its fall. An air-pumping machine runs throughout the show; it isCotter's only means of communication with the sets. The dance itself is unusual and pleasant.Interchanging duets are its consistent feature with aggressive, definitive movements characterizing itsmood. Many movements are performed making use of the floor, as is a characteristic of modern dance. The music, written by Gordon Mumma, is sudden and arythmical and must be followed closely for cues. Backstage, the technical points of such a detailed production become as noticeable as its artisticpoints. So much might go wrong and the concentration of dancer and technician alike becomes themeasure of quality.

FIGHT SONGS — Three bands appeared at the Battle of the Bands to sing up a storm Saturday. Battle brings bands by CHUCK LEACH Fairhaven College's second annual Battle of the Bands Saturday night offered three groups that performed a wide range of musicalstyles to an appreciative audience. Owl, a four-member Seattle band, took the stage first, playing its own songs that varied from fast-paced, progressive rock to mellow folk songs. The second band was SpecialGuest, a rock group that relied primarily on soloists to entertain the audience. Two of their guitariststreated the crowd with classical pieces that successfully calmed the rock-n-roll mood. Keep On Pickui', a local band that plays traditional bluegrass numbers, brought the people to their feet and kept themdancing for the duration of the evening. Laurence Kee, founder of the recording arts program whichsponsored the show, said the bands volunteered their time and proceeds go towards maintenance of theFairhaven College recording studio.

Two weeks ago, he replaced Phil Ager as chairman of Western's music department. It was all a "sudden decision," Goldner said in reference to the appointment of Ager to the position ofFairhaven dean and his appointment as music chairman. Goldner, a music teacher, conductor,violaplayer and inventory moved to Bellingham when his wife, Char-mian Gadd, secured a position asstring instructor at Western. Prior to their move, both taught at Du-quesne University in Pittsburgh, Pa.,but left in protest due to an administrative decision. Both had various offers from other schools andGadd was intent on moving to New York. But when Western made Gadd an offer the two decided tomigrate west. Goldner, who has patented many of his inventions, intended to work on his creations when he came to Bellingham. Goldner's teaching career began at the State Conservatory of Australia inSydney, after he gave up public performance. There he married Gadd, then his student. Prior toteaching, he formed the world-famous chamber music society, Musica Viva in 1945, with financingcoming from the proceeds of his inventions. The society since has become the largest in the world.Chamber music is where Goldner's whole professional life is centered. But he said he likes jazz also. "Ilike all music that is performed well." Born in Austria, Goldner received his education at the ViennaConser-vatorium. In 1972 he was conferred the Cross of Honor, first class, by the Republic of Austria forhis efforts in furthering the arts of his country. Even during his performing years, Goldner took an interest in teaching. While working as a conductor he did teaching research, which he currently is compilinginto a book which he calls "an accumulation of 30 to 40 years of work." The subject of his writing is thepsychology of learning, which can be applied to other disciplines as well as music. RICHARDGOLDNER As a teacher of music, Goldnei said he feels the most important thing he can offer a studentis the ability tc recognize his individual capabilities, idiosyncracies, and background. Ir doing so, hesaid, you try to develop as many methods of teaching as yoi have students. "You have to realize thepotentia of a person." Often teachers believe that musk technique is the ultimate achievement inteaching. It is only a means tc an end, though, he said. As an administrator, he said his contribution will come as an experi enced musician and an organizer. "This music school has achieved high level ofexistence," he said oi Western. Western's music faculty is excellent, the new Performing Artj Centerfacility offers potential ancf the available equipment is good, hi said. But the school must not stagnate b\ remaining satisfied with its currei achievement, he said.

The men's best effort was second place in the first of thesix 2,000 meter races, the lightweight eight, with a time of 6:36.0 at the Western Invitational RowingRegatta on Lake Samish. The University of Washington (UW) scored the winning time of 6:27.0. The Viks made a comeback by placing second, however, again to the UW, in the final race of the day, the Varsityeight. The UW's rowers did exceptionally well — the Huskies placed first every time the Viks competedwith them. Coach Fil Leanderson attributes much of the UWs overwhelming success to its squad size. They have a lot of people turning out," he said, adding that they put in a lot of effort to pick the best andthey have a large number of trainees to choose from. Western's time in the Junior Varsity eight was6:44.0, placing them behind the UW's time of 6:25.2 and Washington State University's (WSU) 6:32.3.The UW won the junior four and the lightweight four with identical times (7:20.4). Western placed fourthand fifth wiih times of 7:52.8 and 7:57.9. Western's Junior Varsity four came in fifthat 8:47.3. The UWtook the top three positions in this event. The Huskies' frosh rowers led the standings with 8:01.5. In theVarsity eight Western placed second with 6:28.5 to the UWs 6:17.5. Following Western were WSU,Pacific Lutheran University and Seattle Pacific University, registering times of 6:30.2, 6:46.9, and 6:47.0. Mother Nature seemed to be in favor of the regatta. The last three races were hampered by a headwin but it didn't make for rough conditions, Leanderson said. "In fact, those were the best racing conditions we've seen in a long time." Western's rowers displayed good form Saturday, Leanderson added. "Stylewisethey did a good job. Overall it was a pretty good day."

"She's involved in field hockey andshe's pretty good in school, too."

"That waterskier comes out every morning," Greg Styrk, a Western rower, said.

"I'm really pleased with the results," RonOkura, women's coach, said. "This is the first time for the women in front of the hometown crowd." Thewomen's first race of the day was the Novice four, in which they finished seventh with a time of 4:02.2 for the 1,000 meters. The top finish for the women occurred in their second race, the Novice eight, wherethey took second with a time of 3:39.6. In the Open four the women finished fourth. Their time was4:26.5. The women ended the day in the Lightweight eight race, finishing fourth behind the Universityof Washington, the Lake Washington Rowing Club and Pacific Lutheran University. "The conditions were great," Okura said. "It's been a long time since the water and the weather cooprated." Even if theconditions are good, Western's women row in men's boats. And, in an eight-person boat, the weightdifference is about 50 pounds, Okura said. Next Saturday Western's crew will travel to Corvallis, Ore. for the Corvallis invitational. The invitational will have 59 races, and all will be 1,000 meters in length,instead of the 2,000 meters the men were racing this past weekend. Sky Diving Lessons $40 Groups of 5 or more.

It was wrong. Whilethe men's team has rowed the waters of Lake Samish for the past seven years, this is the first year forwomen's crew at Western. In Saturday's invitational, Western finished ahead of everyone but theUniversity of Washington (UW) and some of the more established rowing clubs. Not bad for a teamwithout its own equipment, money and experience. The women rowers use the men's shells and oars.The oars used by men are longer than those used by most women teams. The longer oars are moredifficult to maneuver. Still the women are not complaining. From September to the end of fall quarter thewomen were lucky if they could row at all. They were allowed to use the boats one day a week. Duringthe winter months the women rowed three days a week, from 3-6 p.m. An accompanying launch shining a search light provided the only source of illumination. Money is also a problem. Women's crew, unlike itsmale counterpart, is a club sport funded only by the Associated Students. This year's budget was $700.This doesn't go very far when one oar costs between $135 and $250. A four-man shell costs around$6,000 and an eight-man shell is $12,000. The $700 barely covers travel expenses, uniform costs andfixing broken equipment. Experience also is lacking on the Western team. Out of the 35-40 women onthe team, only one (Nancy Jones) has rowed before. Even with all these things going against it, hard work and determination has made this team one to be reckoned with. During the fall and winter months, whenrowing time was scarce, most of the women were running and lifting weights. The team stayed inBellingham over spring break, getting in two workouts a day. Now that the season has started, beatingthe UW seems -to be the team goal. Coach Ron Okura has set a more conservative goal of becomingmore consistent. "This is kind of a proving year," Okura said. Janice Wilson, a member of the team, put it another way: "When you talk about crew, you're talking about both men and women." Wilson'sstatement might be coming true. Especially after the First Annual Western Women's Rowing Regatta.MANNING OARS — Western women in the Novice eight stroke the final yards in Saturday's WesternInvitational Rowing Regatta.

Reimer is more concerned with the way it feels to throw the javelin than with recording her turn-out scores. "It's more important to have a good time," Reimer said. Her attitude about competiton,however, is not frivolous. Reimer said he feels wining is important. It is just not the only reason to go outand compete, she said. Last year Reimer qualified for the national track tournament at UCLA, but herfinal qualifying throw at the tournament came up short. She would like to return to the championship,but refused to talk about specific goals for the contest. She said it would be a jinx on her efforts. But shedoes have goals. "If I didn't have any goals, it wouldn't be worth going out there," she said. Reimer, ajunior majoring in chemistry, played junior varsity basketball during her first two years at Western. Shealso participates in city league baseball every summer. Reimer said she didn't know where herundeclared major would take her in the future, but she probably would play baseball all her life. She likescompeting, Reimer said, because she can travel and relate to a lot of different types of people. She alsolikes the attitude sports people adopt, Reimer said. "You have to be optimistic," Reimer said. "If youthink you're not gonna make it, you won't." Kelly's kayaks are coming JULIE REIMER by DAVIDHATCHER Kayaks, torpedo-shaped fiberglass boats piloted by one or two adventurous sportsmen, willbe available in Western's Outdoor Equipment Rental Shop, Kelly Turner, shop manager, said. "I havesent bids out to 10 companies all over the country," Turner said. He's shopping for four one-person slalom kayaks and for helmets and paddles to go with them. Turner said bids will be returned to him "in two orthree weeks at the earliest." Turner plans to have the Recreation Council consider the bids becausekayaks are a major purchase. Turner expects the bill to be $2,000 to $3,000, paid for with equipmentrental fees. Called four-meter boats because of their length, these kayaks are designed for "white waterrunning," Turner explained. "They're fast and maneuverable, but definitely not for touring," he said.Turner wants to start with slalom kayaks because "there's more thrills and they're good kayaks to learnwith." Touring kayaks are a future possibility if there is enough interest and money, he said. "I want totake it slow because I don't have first hand kayaking experience," Turner said, "and I don't want any white elephants." Turner explained he has been relying for information from kayak companies and on advicefrom John Griffin, recreation adviser and expert kayaker. Turner, who was recently rehired to be nextyear's shop manager, will require completion of a planned kayaking course or demonstration ofcompetence before allowing someone to rent a Kayak. Lakewood has a similar process for use ofsailboats, he said. Griffin will teach the first classes, Turner said. Two of Turner's experienced kayakingfriends also offered to help. Classes will be modeled after Francis Hildebrand's PE course, and "you canbet I'm going to be one of the first students," Turner promised. Women served loss Western's women'snetters dropped their second match of the season Friday, losing to Bellevue Community College (BCC) 1-8. The match, played in the Seattle SuperSonic Indoor RacquetbaU Club, saw eight straight BCC winsbefore number three doubles consisting of Carla Jaksha-Barb Wesen slipped by a 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 victory.Coach Lynda Goodrich felt the match was close, considering the opposition. "Bellevue is just a very good school. In fact, BCC's coach feels that they have a chance of knocking off the UW, she said. Goodrichsaid BCC's courts were rug-surfaced making the speed of the balls slower. That factor, plus theunfamiliarity of an indoor court, hampered Western's play, she added. The women's next match isscheduled for this afternoon against Seattle University. Last year, Western split two games against theSeattle school. Goodrich predicts a good match.

Six singles and three doubles matches were played. In earlyplay, the outcome was uncertain, as Western battled to a split in the singles. Charlie Black, playingnumber one singles, dropped his match 4-6, 4-6, as did number two singles, Hal Wen-dal, 2-6, 1-6.Number three singles, Dana Vana; number four singles, Mike Hoefel and number six singles, Frank Hay-den also were winners. Number five singles, Stuart Thompson, lost his match, 3-6, 4-6. Thedoubles decided the outcome. Wendal and Black, playing first doubles, lost, 2-6, 2-6. At this point,two doubles Track cleans up by JONATHAN DAVIS The Western track team not only showed up forlast Saturday's Simon Fraser Invitational, but it set the table and cleaned up too. With 93 points,the Vikings took first at the Mercer Stadium in New Westminster, B.C., while SFU and the VancouverOlympic Club finished second and third with 78 and 54 points respectively. Western exhibited aconsistent attack to grind down the opposition. In fact, the Vikings won only three events. Western'sSteve Menard clocked a 30:48 in the 10,000 meters. It was good enough for second behind GregLaxon's 30:25. The feat later earned « Laxon the award for the outstanding male competitor. In the1,500 meters, Jim Campbell of Club Northwest ticked off a 3:52.1 to win the event. Western's KevinAdams and Nick Roehl were fourth and fifth with 3:55.8 and 3:59.8 respectively. Western's men wonboth the 400 and the 1,600 meter relays with times of 43.6 and 3:25.9. The 1,600 was the most exciting race of the day. All three teams led at one point in the race. With about 300 meters to go, anumbrella could have covered the anchor men. SFU finished first but was disqualified because an earlyrunner cut inside too soon. Other winners for Western were Kevin Lindsay and Ron Knowlton. Lindsayran a 15.1 in the 110 high hurdles while Knowlton cleared 14 feet to win the pole vault. In the women'sjavelin, Julie Reimer hit the 41.34 meter mark to take second. Clay Stenberg of Western ran a 15:02 tofinish second in the 5,000 meters behind SFU's Don Williams, who won in 14:53.4. In one of the toughertrack events, the 400 meter hurdles, John Kotsogeanis of Western ran a credible 54.8 to take second.Mark Warbinekof of SFU won in 53.8 matches were still in progress, with Green River up by one. Bywinning both remaining doubles, Western could have won the match. But number three doubles,Thompson and Hay-den dropped their match, 1-6, 3-6 putting the win out of reach. "We just never gotunder our game," Thompson said. In the last remaining match of the afternoon, number two doubles,Vana and Hoefel, fought to a three-set win, with a tie-breaker deciding the last set, 5-7, 6-2, 7-6. But thewin was to no avail. Green River has a season record of only one loss to the University of Washington.Green River defeated UPS, 9-0, and they are one of the strongest community college teams in thestate. Coach Bill Maushak was pleased with his team's performance, considering these facts. "It was agood match," he said. Western's next home match is with Highline Community College May 5. TAKETHAT! — Number one singles player Charlie Black dishes out all he can muster against a Green RiverCommunity College player Saturday. Batters win 2 in 3-game series A couple of brothers picked up thepieces to Western's playoff picture and colored them with clutch pitching and hitting. Frank Lucarellifired a one-hitter while brother Vito hit a game-winning home run in the bottom of the last inning to beatCentral 2-1 Saturday. Coupled with junior Joel Zed-icker's three-hit shout-out, 5-0, in the first game of the double-header Saturday, the win enabled the Viks to take the three-game series from the perennialEVCO champion Wildcats and keep their playoff hopes alive. The Vikings {3-4, in league play) lost thefirst game of the series Friday, 6-4, giving up five runs in the last two innings. Senior Tom Harmoncollected two hits and Kelly Smith drove in two runs in that contest. Junior third baseman Dan Eklund'stwo-run homer in the second game was all the Viks needed in their 5-0 win. F. Lucarelli struck out eight in his stint, while Vito hammered out five hits and three RBI's in three games. The Viks' series win set the stage for a league title showdown this weekend against Eastern (3-1). The three-game seriesstarts with a single game Friday and a doubleheader Saturday at Civic Field. tooolimm)

Bowen, professor of English at City University of New York, fields questions from Western's faculty Thursday afternoon concerning the possibility of a faculty union. Huxley dean assumes lead of U.N. group By Kelseyanne Johnson The Western Front An international council named Huxley College of the Environment Dean Bradley Smith the president of the largest environmental organization in the world Monday. Smith will now lead the International Union for Conservation of Nature, which advises the United Nations on environmental policy. The union focuses on biological and ecological conservation efforts, Huxley associate professor John McLaughlin said. The union is trying to recruit more universities to form a network of students and conservation experts to share and access information, said. Keith Wheeler, director of the Conservation Learning Network for the union. At the end of March, Smith will travel to China to meet with deans about the union, Wheeler said. "When you sit down at a table with 10 different cultures, 10 different nationalities and 10 different perspectives and come to common grounds, it's a rush," Smith said. SEE Dean, PAGE 4 By Rob Morrell The Western Front . The United Faculty of Western Washington assembled a panel of professors and union leaders from throughout the nation who participated in a public forum addressing Western's ongoing faculty unionization process Thursday in the Viking Union. "These people are experts in " successful union activities from across the nation," said Steven Garfinkle, a member of the organizing committee" and Western history professor. "The question has been, 'Could we provide evidence of successful union activities?' That is what this panel is for." University representatives across the country , .from Temple i-University '; in -Philadelphia to California State University, attended the forum. They began by addressing the potential relationship between a union and the existing Faculty Senate. Garfinkle said the senate's lim- •• itedr strength facilitated the creation of a union with the power to collectively bargain a contract. A union would have the power of a unified faculty behind it, he said, in turn forcing the administration to respect professors' interests. "The faculty senate is only advisory," he said. "A union gives the faculty the ability to hold the university's feet to the fire." John Travis, a political science professor at Humboldt State University and president of the California Faculty Association, said it was important for unions to work closely with the senate. "There is.no fast, hard line dividing the responsibility of the academic senate and the union," Travis _said. "It's important to establish a working relationship with the academic senate because there's nothing that management and aciministrators like more than to play us against each other." Travis said the senate and union worked together on issues such as curriculum and workload decisions at his university. Barbara Bowen, president of the Professional Staff Congress and English professor at City University of New York, spoke about the potential accountability SEE Union PAGE 4 By Sarah Getchman The Western Front While many Western students believe the government should not be allowed to infringe on academic freedoms, others feel that a certain amount of censorship is necessary to maintain a community where no person feels unsafe, intimidated or offended. The Western Diversity Task Force brought students together in a civil debate forum Tuesday night to discuss how censorship and the USA Patriot Act affect the Western community. "(Students are) afraid of what could happen to their civil liberties/^ said Rachel Zommick, Associated Students vice president of legislative and community affairs. Zommick and Western senior Andrew Hu, a member, of the Western debate team, expressed alternate opinions and perspectives. Government censorship at Western "There are certain instances where something is offensive enough that it ought to be censored in the interest of the students," Hu said. This was the case when several students complained about a display at Western's annual Vagina Carnival that showed a woman's bare breast, Hu said. The university requested that the objectionable, material be removed or censored, he said. Event staff removed the display and the university planned to impose new guidelines for next year's Vagina Carnival. Students think of Western as a school that promotes intellectual and creative freedoms, Zommick said. Intalco donates thousands, assists regional businesses "Once you start restricting, it becomes the mentality," Zommick said. "The AS doesn't want to deter clubs and organizations from bringing up controversial issues or events." If the government chooses to censor materials at Western, it should do so in relation to the time, place and manner of the specific material, not the content, Hu said. The university must use these practical implementations of censorship to retain its reputation and support, he said. This past year, university officials asked faculty members to remove "No Iraq War" signs from their office windows, Hu said. The request was legitimate because Western employees work for the government on public property, which they should not use to express personal political views, he said. SEE Censorship, PAGE 4 By Amanda Woolley The Western Front The businesses of Sumas will receive an extra boost this year, thanks to Alcoa Intalco Works in Ferndale, which donated to Western Washington's Small Business Development Center.

AP Wire news briefs STATE NEWS Stricter child-abduction penalties urged Activists sent hundreds of children's tennis shoes to the capital to urge state House leaders to pass a bill that will toughen punishments for child rape and molestation. The empty shoes represented the innocence and vulnerability of children, said Gig Harbor resident Jim Hines, whose neighbor's daughter was molested. The activists want increased prison time for offenders and to make the alternative sentencing program, which includes treatment and shortened jail time, harder for sex offenders to receive. House Democrats hope to pass a version of the bill. Wednesday. Some worry that families will be reluctant to report abuse if lawmakers eliminate the alternative sentencing.

The Cessna failed to return to Auburn on Sunday after a flight to Sequim. David Verstrate of Federal Way was the Cessna's pilot. Harold Bennett of Puyallup was the only passenger. NATIONAL NEWS Oregon governor questions legality of gay marriages Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski said he has doubts that the dry's involvement in handing out marriage licenses is legal. Kulongoski said he is in favor of civil unions but questions if the new policy is acceptable under the state marriage statute. When lawmakers wrote the statute, it was clear that it referred to a man and a woman. Four of Multnomah County's five commissioners disagreed with Kulongoski's reservations and said they gave the go ahead to marriage licenses after a legal review determined it would be unconstitutional to deny them.

Chirac has 15 days to sign the law. The law will forbid religious apparel and everything that outwardly shows a student's religion. The law, the focus of which was to remove Islamic head scarves, will take effect in September. Al-Qaida claims innocence in Iraq bombings Al-Qaida supposedly released a letter denying responsibility for the bombing of a Shiite Muslim festival in Iraq that killed more than 140 people. The letter blamed U.S. troops for attacks on Karbala and Baghdad on Tuesday. It referred to Karbala as an "infidel city." A London newspaper received the letter in an e-mail and shared it with the Associated Press in Cairo, Egypt. The authenticity of the letter has yet to be verified.

Police arrested Denise Daniels, 27, and booked her into Whatcom County Jail on Wednesday. Daniels made her initial court appearance Thursday. Written Zoe Fraley/The Western Front Giffords Corner co- owner Jong Min Park still has scars on his face and neck from a bullet's exit wound. charges will not be released until Friday or Monday, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Rosemary Kaholokula said. At the hearing, prosecutors charged Daniels with one count of second-degree assault, two counts of first- degree robbery, one count of attempted second-degree robbery and one count of possession of stolen property, Kaholokula said. Daniels also received a deadly weapon addition, which could add three to five years to her sentence, Kaholokula said. "We are so very happy to hear that she has been caught," said Sung Mun, co-owner of Giffords Corner, a supermarket on Elm Street, where Daniels allegedly shot her husband, Jong Min Park. Park said the suspect entered the store at 6:20 p.m. on Jan. 25 as he was sweeping the entry-way floor. All she said was "register" before shooting him in the jaw and fleeing without taking any money, Park said. Daniels also is accused of robbing the 7-Eleven on Lakeway Drive at 3:44 a.m. and the AM-PM Mini Market on Old Faifhaven Parkway at 4:53 a.m. earlier that day. The suspect allegedly committed both robberies with a gun. The suspect left each scene on foot with an undisclosed amount of money, according to the police report. Representatives from both stores declined to comment on Daniels' arrest. Kaylee Corbett, an eighth-grader at Whatcom Middle School and one of many children who makes a daily candy stop at Giffords, said she is glad police caught the suspect. "These people are like family," Corbett said. "My friends and I come here every day after school." Though the investigation took time, Mun said she always believed the suspect would be caught. She said she is thankful for the quick response from the police and the medical workers who helped her husband.

"Both the crimes, and the fact that it was a female perpetrator, are unusual," Bellingham Police Lt. Craige Ambrose said. Investigators received many leads, but one tip they received Monday led them to Daniels, Ambrose said. Police found her on the Lummi reservation with a stolen laptop in her vehicle. The motivation for the robberies was to gather money to bail Daniels' husband out of jail, Ambrose said. Her bail was set at $100,000 at the Thursday hearing, Kaholokula said. Daniels' arraignment is scheduled for March 12 at the Whatcom County Superior Court. Tax break allows Alcoa Intalco Works to remain open By Bryan Sharick The Western Front After the Washington State Senate issued a tax-relief bill for the aluminum-smelter industry Tuesday, the Alcoa Intalco Works plant in Ferndale has a "fighting chance" to stay open until 2006, said Mike Tanchuk, president of the Northwest region for Intalco. The bill' could save the company $2 million to $3 million in business and 'occupation"taxes,"sales'ajad use taxgs ancf natural gas taxes, as well as contribute to the reopening of the Wenatchee plant, Tanchuk said. "The financial support, in terms of tax relief, is a good bridge until we can get tax rates down (for the Ferndale plant)," Tanchuk said. "The power rates have to change to stay open long-term." The tax breaks expire at the end of 2006, when the Bonneville Power Administration likely will lower energy rates, Tanchuk said. Power rates account for 30 percent to 35 percent of costs for an aluminum plant, he said. The passage of this bill comes after a nearly identical bill passed through the Washington State House of Representatives Feb. 13. The House and Senate bills require the company to maintain.employment at a . min^vuno£.^percent of its'Jariuaryleveis in order to qualify for tax relief. The future of the Ferndale plant is still uncertain, Tanchuk said. The plant is important not only to Ferndale but to the entire county, Ferndale Mayor Jerry Landcastle said. 'The plant supports the community, and this is some security for the families," Landcastle said. "We're very pleased that the Senate and House have seen fit to support these issues." : Carl Ratcliff, who has worked at Intalco for approximately 30 years, said Intalco employees have attempted to remain positive despite the uncertainties. "Basically it gives (Ferndale Intalco employees) hope we're keeping our job for two more,years,".Ratcliff said. "There's about' 475 of us, .put'twere' trying, tomake a living, going day in and day out and usually not getting good news." Alcoa needs the BPA to be an economic advantage again, Tanchuk said. "Alcoa needs to continue to get BPA rates down in the short term and find ways to make the BPA an economic driver versus a drainer. Costs are out of control," Tanchuk said. The Intalco plant in Ferndale now has the highest power rates of any aluminum plant in the world/ Tanchuk said. Intalco employed approximately 1,000 people in 1999, but if it had continued to maintain that level of operation until now, the company would have incurred approximately $70 million in power costs that it could not afford, Tanchuk said. The plant operates at one-third of capacity, he said. The House still has decisions to make about the bill and the next step is for Gov. Gary Locke to sign it into law, Landcastle said. The bill must be finalized before the legislative session ends March 11, he said. ^ ^ • B i ::3lllSli:^^3^^^^^B iiii^^^B ll|l|§§l|§|f;S^^H^^^^» m^^^^^^H Zen Talk Coming Home: The Spiritual Path as a Journey of Return Zoketsu Norman Fischer Friday, March 5, .7 pm Fairhaven Library '•... www.be|li;righarnzen.orgp .

Specific zones are designated as free-speech areas, Zommick said. The zones do not block flows of traffic in Red Square. Although students must obtain permission from the AS before putting up posters on campus, the majority of requests receive approval, she said. "In order to be a scholar, you must literally be unafraid to inquire, ask questions and explore subjects," Larner said. "The cure for bad speech is more speech, not censorship." The USA Patriot Act and Academic Freedoms A line separating freedom and security is essential, but the Patriot Act has pushed that line further than ever before, Hu said. Groups throughout the country have proposed approximately 260 resolutions that oppose the Patriot Act, Larner said. President George W. Bush created the Patriot Act in response to terrorism because benign efforts will not eliminate it, Hu said. The AS took a stance against the Patriot Act because the act threatens the privacy of student records, Zommick said. Board members want to ensure that students are not only safe but protected, she said. Federal law requires the FBI to obtain a Federal Grand Jury subpoena before searching student records from federally funded institutions, said Jim Powers, resident FBI agent for the city of Bellingham. The FBI must also notify students if their records are being investigated, he said. Powers said the FBI has only requested private student records from Western one time in the past seven years—when former Western student Paul Revak threatened to bomb the U.S. Coast Guard station in Bellingham this spring. "Students do commit crimes ... and if it happens that it's a federal crime, we will need to obtain the records," Powers said. The FBI obtains private student records in the same way it did before the Patriot Act passed, Powers said. Agents must show a federal judge evidence that a student is breaking federal laws, is involved with hostile foreign government intelligence or is plotting terrorist activities, he said. The AS hope the civil debate will be the first of a series of debate forums at Western .addressing student freedoms, said Jesse Moore, AS vice president for diversity. "Civil means that you listen, and that's the key part," Moore said. "It's good to be passionate as long as you're not a punk about it — we're trying to be persuasive, not abrasive." No one should be afraid to express personal views, Moore said. Western students should protest censorship for this reason, he said. "Once you've given up rights in something, it's very hard to get them back," task force member Peter Fitzpatrick said. Dean: Colleges doubled to 140 Continued from Page 1 Smith was one of the founding members of the council, which appointed the first council president two years ago at the University of Southern California. Since then, the number of colleges and universities participating in the program has doubled to approximately 140, Smith said. The forum to discuss issues concerning the environment meets twice a year in Washington, D.C., where the council appointed Smith to his two-year term. "It's more a retreat where we can lock each other up for three days and talk and cbmplain," he said. \ One of Smith's main duties as president will be evaluating other colleges' and universities' environmental programs. Sum as: Funds to attrdct business Continued from Page 1 with one-on-one counseling, marketing research and access to capital funds and business plans. The organization provides the services free of charge to businesses in Sumas or to companies that are planning to move there. The SBDC works with all cities in Whatcom County, but only Sumas and Bellingham fund the group, Dorr said. Sumas had several options for distribution of the $9,400 from Intalco, Sumas Mayor Bob Brumley said. "The SBDC has been the one resource that has helped the community out in a tough economic time," Brumley said. "We have used them as a way to recruit business. Almost all of the retail stores have used the SBDC to help their business get by." Thompson said the city's allocation had to meet one of the four areas of excellence of Intalco: con- , servation aridjsi^taihability, global education and; workplace skills, safe and healthy children and families, and business and community partnership. The City Council appropriated approximately $1,900 for city repairs and $7,500 to the center, Brumley said. "The SBDC has helped our community become more self-reliant," Brumley said. The center has helped Sumas residents attain more self- reliance by attracting a large business to the community. Cedar Prime, a Canadian company that makes finger-joint cedar siding, expanded its business to Sumas with the help of the center, Brumley said. Canadian industrial companies maintain an active interest in expanding to Sumas. Cedar Prime employs 89 people and has become one of the largest employers in the county, Dorr said. Union: Democratic process vital Continued from Page 1 and effectiveness challenges that faced a union. "WWU has the advantage of being able to start totally fresh with a new structure and bylaws," Bowen said. "That's how you prevent administration from co-opting (union) leadership." She said establishing a strong democratic process within the union would help keep leaders accountable to the members. The panelists also addressed the impact unionization could have on the faculty pay scale. Morteza Daneshdoost, president of the faculty association and •a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Carbondale campus of Southern Illinois University, encouraged Western faculty members to unionize and dismissed concern about potential elimination of bonuses and raises. "(If you form a union) you're not going to have everyone making the same amount of money and teaching the same number of classes," Daneshdoost said. "It's not a communist system." Sue Kaufman, a journalism professor at Eastern Illinois University and president of the United Professionals of Illinois, said pay scales in collectively bargained contracts that universities and faculty unions must continually tweak negotiated contracts to attract faculty in lucrative subjects like biology and law. Garfinkle said unionization and collective bargaining benefits all of the instructors at Western, not only those in competitive fields, such as business and math. "The goal is to make everyone's lives better," he said. "Western faculty has not done well economically in the last decade and a half. Campuses with collective bargaining do better with pay issues." §M§^0 "8 tff lt;w " gt; •muf ®r Design Jewelry Body Art For Your Sweetie With Jje eart In Historic Fairhaven, B'ham.

By Lauren Fior . The Western Front Local band Table Dancing With Betty will perform at 7 p.m. tonight in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room at its CD release show. The show also is the Associated Students club Loa Records' last show of the quarter. After approximately two years, Table Dancing With Betty's first full-length album is finished. Eric Sanford, trombone player and Western sophomore, said the album took the-b.and this long to complete because the members were busy with school and work. The title of the new album is "Skutz," which Sanford said they made up. The name is a mix of the phrases "ska music" and "gone nuts," Sanford said. Jake Waltier, trombone player and Western junior, said the time recording gave the band a chance to be more creative in the song-writing process than usual and think of new ideas, such as more harmonies. "When you play shows, and practice, it's fun, but the studio allows you to be more creative and play with the music," Waltier said. The band originated in Puyallup among friends who were inspired by ska band Reel Big Fish, Waltier said. Sanford said the idea of creating a band formed in the late '90s, but it did not have enough people to complete it "The band also includes • P h o t o courtesy of Loa Records' Greg Morgan-Christian Table Dancing With Betty sings to the crowd on vocals, Steve Chase on Nov. 14 at the Fairhaven Auditorium. guitar, Will Christison on bass, Matt Berkstresser on drums and Matt Crandell on baritone saxophone.

Waltier said Fairhaven Auditorium, where most of Loa's shows take place, is one of his favorite Bellingham venues. "We don't like playing bars very much because we have a large number of fans under 21," Waltier said. Stewart said he expects that approximately 150 people will attend the show. He said Table Dancing With Betty has a strong following in the Bellingham area. Stewart said this show was more hectic to plan than others because they did not have a venue right away. AS Productions Pop Music club called them a few days ago and said the VU Multipurpose room would be available because of the cancelation of another event, Stewart said. "(AS Pop Music) gave us money for the show, too," Stewart said. "They have leftover money from a few events that didn't work out." The show will include Bellingham band Typical Ace, Seattle band Mercir and Portland band Careen. Waz, a Buffalo, N.Y., band that has previously performed with musician Pete Yorn, also will perform. ---------- Western Front 2004 March 05 - Page 7 ---------- March 5, 2004 ACCENT The Western Front • 7 Lee Fehrenbacher/The Western Front A man enters a theater showing "The Passion of the Christ." By Lee Fehrenbacher The Western Front Breathless gasps and muffled sobs echoed through a sold-out theater on Feb. 25 as movie-goers watched gory images of whips lashing the back of Jesus Christ. While it was not the first movie about Christ's crucifixion, "The Passion of the Christ/' Mel Gibson's vision of the last 12 hours of Christ's life, portrays the grueling torture and incredible pain Jesus endured to an extent never before seen in cinema. Many viewers said the experience left them emotionally drained. "The part where (Jesus) is flogged shocked me a lot, to points where I'd be crying really hard, and then I'd be so often numbed to it that I couldn't cry — I'd still be really upset, but I couldn't cry anymore," Western junior Anne McNamara said. While the movie left many viewers awe-struck; on, opemngjught o;n. the 25th gt;, it has caused an array of heated emotions since. McNamara said the graphic portrayal of Jesus' persecution in the movie helped illustrate the magnitude of the original story. "The point, rather than all the violence, was to show that it was more like a triumph story," McNamara said. "He knew he had to do this, and he knew it was going to be painful, but he did it anyway. So even though it was really sad and hard to watch it happen, every step he took was like another victory for God." Robin Zemble, a Western freshman and cultural and religious affairs vice president of the local Jewish group Hillel, said the violence of the movie overshadowed everything. "I felt sick, honestly, and sick that that's the image (Mel Gibson) wanted to portray," Zemble said. "I don't think anyone can sit through two-and-a-half hours of intense violence like that and not feel sick to their stomachs and not feel affected by that in a negative way." Even before the movie hit theaters, controversy about the film's use of violence and possible anti- Semitic undertones were prevalent. As conversations about the nature of the film continue on television, in city halls, in churches and even in grocery store checkout aisles, "The Passion" is heating a stew of emotions. "I think everybody that views the movie is probably going to take different things away from it," said Mike Gatbunton, Catholic Campus Minister for the Shalom Center. The story begins in the Garden of Olives, where Jesus, played by Jim Caviezel, has gone to pray in the misty, early morning hours after the Last Supper, and follows the chain of events that led to his inevitable crucifixion. The movie's story begins at the end of Christ's story, and introduces none of the characters, assuming the audience already is familiar with them. Several short flashbacks, which provide a reprieve from the intense violence and gore, offer the only insights into Jesus' life and those around him. Gatbunton, who has seen the movie three times, said the focus for him was Jesus' relationship with his mother Mary, played by actress Maia Morgenstern, as seen through the flashbacks. One flashback • occurs as a whipped and beaten Jesus falls under the weight of the cross. As he falls, Mary remembers a time when Jesus fell as a child and she took him into her arms. For Zemble, however, the strength of .these flashbacks faltered under the weight of the brutality of the film. "I think a lot of people will be asking questions about the Bible, and I think that that's probably a good step-off since that's the goal, but I think a lot of people will be coming away from it feeling sad about Jesus, and I don't think that was the message," Zemble said. "I'm Jewish, so he's not my God, but the message of Jesus was of joy and happiness and of resurrection and not of death." Western freshman Tyler Smedley said the movie would give people a greater understanding of the Catholic mind-set. "I think (the movie) is a very powerful tool for evangelization, and I think it's also a good learning tool for people who don't maybe understand anything about the gospels and want to find out about it," Smedley said. "Maybe not from a religious standpoint but just in wondering, 'What do other people See in their religion?' " Zemble said she found the movie insulting to Jewish people. "I felt like they showed Jewish people as power hungry and opportunists and bloodthirsty, and I think that (Gibson) didn't give the whole story," Zemble said. "There was no context to the passion, it was just blood bath." In the movie, the Jewish leadership, led by the High Priest Caiaphas, played by Mattia Sbragia, demands the crucifixion of Jesus before Pontius Pilate, played by Hristo Shapov, and an angry mob. Rebekah Ross, a Western senior and Hillel programs coordinator, said anti- Semitism still is a prominent concern in Jewish communities. "Anti-Semitism is very much alive in this country as well as others, and myself and many other people I know have been treated poorly because people had very anti-Semitic views, and people are just afraid that this movie is going to nourish those attitudes," Ross said. While Ross, who has a Jewish and Catholic upbringing, said she thought the movie cast the Jewish people in a negative light, she said "The Passion" was one of the most powerful movies she has ever seen. She said that while she feared the movie could cause anger, violence and death from acts of hate, she hoped people of all religions could leave the movie with compassion for one another. "You don't have to believe in Jesus to be a compassionate person, and you don't have to believe in Jesus to be a good person," Ross said. "You don't have to believe the movie. It doesn't have to be a documentary in your eyes for you to be moved by it and for you to find the ability to change your actions." Ross said the violence added a realistic and humanistic appreciation for the pain Jesus suffered, especially compared to other violent movies such as "The Living Dead," which is bloody but less impactful. Rabbi Daniel Weiner of the Jewish Temple De Hirsch De Sinai in Seattle said the movie pushed anti-Semitic views, which have left many Jewish people worried they will have to explain themselves to people, who see the movie. : "While I recognize that'this will be a profoundly moving experience for some Christians, I am deeply troubled by the historically and scripturally inaccurate portrayal of the Jewish leadership and the Jewish people," Weiner said. Weiner said the portrayal of the Jewish leadership was overexaggerated. Gatbunton, Smedley and McNamara all said they did not think the movie portrayed any scenes of anti-Semitism. Gatbunton said he thought some of the more compassionate roles were those of Jewish characters. "One of the characters in the movie, Simon of Siren, who helps Jesus carry the cross, to me is one of the most heroic characters in the movie, and at one point, he clasps arms with Jesus as they carry the cross and also encourages him, you know, 'You're almost there,' and he's Jewish," Gatbunton said. It would be difficult for people who are unfamiliar with the story to draw a clear-cut distinction between Roman and Jewish, good and evil roles, Gatbunton said. The viewers who most likely would have concerns about the portrayal of those roles are people who are knowledgeable about different theologies, understand them on a deeper level and have experienced anti-Semitism, he said. Weiner said he thought Gibson's film applied a highly selective interpretation and defied long-established understandings between the Catholic and Jewish faiths — namely that the blame for Jesus' death does not fall on one group but on all people in the world. Ross said that only a small portion of the Jewish population of the time, the Temple Council, was responsible for Jesus' death and that it was not right to blame the entire group. Gatbunton said people should not view "The Passion" as completely historically accurate, although he thinks it is one of the most accurate movies about Jesus' life to come put. "This movie isn't meant to be a historical theological movie," Gatbunton said. "It's (Gibson's) vision of what the passion was." While interpretations of the movie vary widely between Catholic and Jewish faiths, Gatbunton and Weiner said open communication between the two religions is vital in sustaining a healthy relationship. And while their opinions of the movie differed, both said they were concerned about the effect the movie would have in the Middle East and Europe, where anti-Semitism is more prevalent. "As some of the Jewish leaders have said, as Christians, we see a different movie," Gatbunton said. "But I think it's important for people to listen to the criticisms from the Jewish community and understand where they come from and " where the fears come from, keep communicating, keep things open and understand each other's viewpoints." ---------- Western Front 2004 March 05 - Page 8 ---------- SPORTS www.westernfrontonline.com The Western Front March 5, 2004 • 8 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL SOFTBALL Win secures school-record seventh-straight 20-win season V i m r a o o UO defeat s^nt Mark's College 68-64 Thursday in Lacey.

"Emotionally, having a guy like (Bullock) on the bench was significant," Jackson said. With one home game remaining jn the season, the Vikings are ranked No. 10 in the NCAA Division II West Region. Western sophomore guard Grant Dykstra scored a team-high 21 points, including 8-8 shooting from the free-throw line, and Western freshman center Lukas Henne scored 13 points in his second start of the season.

A three-pointer from Roosendaal with 16 seconds remaining, however, killed any Anchorage comeback hopes. Roosendaal finished with 19 points, including four three-pointers.

Anchorage and Western were even with 27 total rebounds, and both teams received significant contributions from the bench — 19 points for Western and 13 for Anchorage. . Burrell started the game despite the fact that he missed the past two because of a groin injury. Burrell said he was not yet completely healthy. "I had to stay warmed up the whole time, and the trainers had me sit a certain way on the bench so I wouldn't get stiff," Burrell said.

"I'm entering to show all the ladies out there how tough I really am and show all the Lee Fehrenbacher/The Western Front Western freshman Vinh Huynh strains to straighten a dead lift. guys, too, that they really shouldn't mess with a guy like me," Western sophomore Scott Hylton said. "They'll see when I win." The competition consisted of the best of three lifts in the dead lift, the bench press and the squat. Hylton took first place in the 150- pound weight class but missed his personal goal of 235 pounds on the bench press by 10 pounds. He had a power-lift total — the highest sum of all three areas — of 885 pounds. Lifting a new maximum weight can be a precarious process, Hylton said. "I think every time I maxed, on bench anyway, I always go one arm up first and the other arm comes up after that, so it might be about seven or eight seconds before I get my bench up," Hylton said. Tyler Home, a Western senior and intramural supervisor, said the competition was one of many new tournaments, such as dodge ball and swimming, added to intramural competition this year after the completion of the recreation center. "It's just another opportunity for people who maybe don't play basketball or football or softball or usual intramural sports to get a chance to be an intramural champion," Home said. Western sophomore Adam Nelson, who competed in the 181- to 195-pound weight class, missed his power-lift total goal of 1,000 by 5 pounds. ' "When I drop the weight on myself, that's when I know I'm not doing any more," Nelson said. Mental preparation can determine whether a weight is lifted or dropped, Western senior Nick Wenzel said. "The best way to do it is to just go in with Lee Fehrenbacher/The Western Front Western senior Nick Wenzel fights to rise from a squatting position with more than 300 pounds of weight on his shoulders at Western's first intramural weight-lifting tournament Wednesday. a clear head," Wenzel said. "You want to make sure you're warmed up, got your blood flowing, but you definitely want to keep a clear head, and don't ever think about not making it, or else you'll psyche yourself out." Western freshman Dustin Reiber said he had his mind set on a not-so-gold T-shirt. "I've had some past experience (in weight lifting), and I wanted to get myself a shirt," Reiber said. With a power-lift total of 1,175 pounds, Reiber placed first in the 165- to 180-pound weight class, winning one of the four coveted "Intramural Champion" T-shirts. For Western freshman Cody Franzen, the reward was the activity itself. "(It's) the self-satisfaction of being able to change your body and being able to see the results and help other people, and (the weight room) is just a fun place to be," Franzen said. Franzen placed first in the 181- to 195- pound weight class with a power-lift total of 1,340 pounds, and Western senior Cory Ford placed first in the 200-pound- and-above weight class with a power-lift total of 1,225. Jeff Crane, Western coordinator of intramural sports and sports clubs, said he was pleased with the turnout and is planning to organize another tournament next winter. For those who participated this year, the tournament offered a chance to compete as well as assess personal abilities. "I've spent a lot of time lifting this year, and I just wanted to see how well I could do," Nelson said. Having trouble getting yourGURs?

FOOD PHARMACY j v l l i t mmm ---------- Western Front 2004 March 05 - Page 10 ---------- OPINIONS www.westernfrontonline.com State should seek alternatives to standard higher education Western's academic departments are cutting elective classes because of budget shortages. At the same time, Western is finishing construction on the new Communications Building and is in the planning stages for another academic building because of overcrowding. These two issues — overcrowding and a shrinking variety of classes — are a problem that Washington state lawmakers need to address by examining higher-education alternatives to the standard four-year, liberal arts degree. According to the January Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board document "Key Facts About Higher Education in Washington," state colleges and universities will need approximately 33,500 additional spaces for full-time students by 2010. The option of constructing more and more buildings to accommodate the influx of students while simultaneously deleting classes to fit the state's budget will not continue to be feasible. As elective classes on the periphery of degrees fall prey to the budgetary grim reaper, one four- year, liberal arts degree will look more and more like the next: a bland morass of the same general university requirements. This defeats the whole purpose of a liberal arts degree — diversity. A four- year degree in liberal arts is not the best option for everyone looking to continue their education past high school. A vocational or technical college more specifically tailored to certain interests would better serve some people. This is not some sort of elitist, "four-year, liberal arts universities are only for smart people" snobbery. It is not "smart" for people to slog through a wide variety of GURs when they know a specific degree from a technical college is what they want. This is particularly true when the average tuition at a public, four-year university in Washington state is $4,185 a year while the average tuition at a technical or community college is $1,982 a year, according to the HEC Board's "Key Facts" document. Another factor to consider is that the median salary for an electrician in Washington state is $51,700 while the median salary for a communication or business major working in retail sales management is $35,400, according to the America's Career InfoNet Web site. Some-studertts-frtay unk'•^At^y- pi^ iihg::k:^di€Mp^£ic^de^ree at a technical or vocational school, they will be unable to explore any variety to their education. Those students looking for a broader education, however, do not have to attend a technical school. By examining technical schools with an eye to making them more attractive and accessible to those who want to attend, Washington state can ensure that the liberal arts degree will remain a"possibility to ttibse students.. .f"; rK Frontlines are the opinion of The Western Front editorial board: Jeremy Edwards, Josh Dumond, Mugs Scherer, Cari Lyle, Jenny Zuvela, Ben.

Society should be concerned about the unhealthy food children eat at their favorite restaurants. While children might seem to have smaller appetites, the food major chain restaurants serve them can be just as fatty as regular, portions. Calories, saturated fat and salt fill most chil- , dren's meals, v According to a 2003 study by The Center for Science in the Public Interest, children's meals at" popular restaurants are increasing children's health risks. The results showed that eating basic children's meals at popular restaurants was increasing children's health risks. The study found that all of the reviewed meals came with a side of french fries. Applebee's Neighborhood Grill Bar, Denny's Restaurant and the Outback Steakhouse all feature high amounts of fat and sodium in their children's meals. Applebee's grilled cheese with fries has 900 calories, 44 grams of fat and 2,050 milligrams of sodium. This meal alone leaves little room for children to eat other food during the day without exceeding the 1,500-calorie-per-day limit that . the^.^LLS..,-; Department of Agriculture recommends for a "low-active" child. Parents might take their children to a sit-down restaurant to eat because they think the restaurant offers better options than fast food. Most restaurant owners, however, seem to believe that cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets should make up children's menus Research from the National Center for Health Statistics has shown, however, that children will eat the same amount of fat at McDonald's as they would at Denny's because the restaurants serve the same fried foods.

Government thugs can wiretap your phone if they think you uttered the words "bomb," "bong" or "police brutality" in any conversation during the past five years. The government can imprison U.S. citizens indefinitely without charges just because some paper-pushing government official thinks they look suspiciously Arabic. Each and every one of the numerous armed conflicts the United States has entered since World War II has lacked an official declaration of war because every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has conveniently overlooked Article I of the Constitution, which reads, "The Congress.shall have the power... to declare war." But wait, you say, Americans have plenty of freedoms. We have the freedom to become anything we want, provided we work hard enough for it and are fortunate enough to be born into new age, aristocratic families who can travel between winter condos in Vail, Colo., and summer homes in the Hamptons via private Learjets. We have hundreds of cable channels bringing the latest installments of "Who Wants to Marry a Drunken Soccer Hooligan?" and "Cannibal Survivor III." Whether we are in Moscow, Idaho, or Moscow, Russia, Americans are able to eat good, old-fashioned, ail-American McDonald's hamburgers.

This was the correct decision because it supports the basic medical needs of women in the United States. A California law requires all insurance policies that cover prescription drugs to include oral contraception. Similar laws exist in 20 states, including Washington. Under the law, church employers can omit contraceptive coverage from their health-care plans. This exception exists under the basic assumption that church employees follow the beliefs of their church. If the church does not condone birth control, most of its members will not either. The exception is not an excuse, however, to impose religious beliefs on people of other faiths. Though religious organizations should have the right to safely express' and apply their beliefs within their organizations, they should not be able to demand that people of other faiths act in accordance with these beliefs. Catholic Charities provides nonreligious services for many people who are not Catholic, according to a March 1 article in the Los Angeles Daily News. Most of its employees belong to other faiths, according to the article. These employees have a constitutional right to make their own choices about health, regardless of Catholic doctrine. Birth control is a medication even though it does not treat a disease or condition. A woman's health depends on her ability to — control her body. Insurance policies that do not cover this medication place an unconstitutional control on the rights of women to make decisions about their own bodies. The California ruling is a progressive step for women's health care. Many states do not require insurance companies to cover contraceptive costs for patients. This means women have to pay for birth control on their own. Women spend approximately 68 percent more than men for out-of-pocket health-care costs, according io the National Women's Law Center's Web site. Much of this discrepancy results from a lack of birth-con- 'The California ruling is a progressive step for women's health care! trol funding, according to the center, which advocates for women and girls. Men and women contribute to the prevalence of unwanted pregnancy. They both benefit from birth control because it reduces unwanted pregnancies. By not providing coverage for this service, insurance companies place the cost of preventing pregnancy unequally onto women. Those who oppose the ruling say that Catholic Charities belongs to the category of churches exempt from the contraception requirement. They argue that the gov- — ernment should not have the power to decide which organizations qualify as churches. Some insurance companies argue that they should not have to cover the cost of contraceptives because the medication does not treat a disease or medical condition. They believe they are exempt from covering such preventive measures, even though these measures successfully reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies. Through this ruling, the California Supreme Court is not denying churches their basic rights of expression, nor is it forcing insurance companies to fund ineffective medication. The ruling protects the basic health rights of women. Continued from Page.10 to be a part of the USSR.

People measure wealth and stature not in the number of digits at the end of monthly bank statements but in the number of goats sold at the local bazaar. The biggest holiday besides the president's birthday is a celebration of the muskmelon. State officials described this relative of the watermelon as, "a godsend with a glorious history that goes back centuries." If the lack of "t and a" on the television, high goat-to-human ratio and national holidays revolving around fruit were not bad enough, Turkmenistan's President-for-life Saparmurat Niyazov is an authoritarian power monger. He has issued decrees forbidding young men from wearing long hair or growing beards, outlawed car radios and smoking in the street and ended all operas and ballet performances because he has deemed them unnecessary. The most bizarre edict came in 2002, when he renamed all of the months after himself, his mother and Turkmenian heroes from the medieval past.

If the United States had provided support instead of ignoring the conflict, it would have required less monetary and military investments in the long run. After weeks of rebellion, Haitian rebels encroached upon the capital this past week, causing Aristide to resign and seek exile. Since the United States is the world's example of democracy, its government has a responsibility to defend democracy. This includes protecting the democracy of smaller countries such as Haiti. The rebels' method of armed subversion circumvents the democratic system. Haitians have worked to maintain this system since 1994, after U.S. troops helped reinstate Aristide, the first democratically elected president of Haiti. In 1991, rebel forces seized power in Haiti, shortly after Aristide's election. In recent events, the U.S. government should have provided troops at the first sign of trouble in order to ease Haiti through processes of impeachment and electing a new president. Instead, it waited until another hostile rebellion forced Aristide out of power. Without an active president, Haiti has the potential to erupt into chaos. Rebel leader Guy Philippe announced Tuesday that he is the new leader of Haiti, according to a Feb. 3 article in The New York Times. Former Haiti dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier, who ruled from 1971 until 1985, also indicated interest in returning; to Haiti, although he said he does not plan to seek the presidency, according to the article. This turmoil, with rog^e-forces competing for control of an already volatile country, has the potential to produce another dictatorship similar ; to;.; Afghanistan's Taliban rule or Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. The situation could continue producing violence and more bloodshed, much like Haiti's history has already seen. U.S. involvement as peacekeepers has become mandatory since the Haiti situation has .deteriorated to the point of potential anarchy. Gunfire erupted between Aristide supporters and rebels, according to The Times article. This likely could be the type of violence that will take place in weeks ahead. When the potential for conflict arises in a country within close proximity to the United States, such as Haiti, it would be detrimental to the United States' image and safety to ignore such a crisis. Since the U.S. government and the United Nations have not acted, in the end they may have to use more forces : than if they had acted more^quicikly. WitfipU.S. military forces already active in Iraq and Afghanistan, involvement in another conflict will further strain the military's budget and personnel. Some may argue that Aristide's brutality and bad leadership contributed to his demise and that the rebellion was bound to happen. Whether Aristide led his country well is not the issue. The U.S. government, along with other world governments, should have prevented the trouble in Haiti from reaching chaos. Now that the rebellion has become so volatile, the United States cannot continue to ignore it. It Will have to expend more resources into a situation that it could have prevented. Food: Restaurants must instill good eating habits in younger customers Continued from Page 10 offer meals that come with free soda refills and dessert. These default items can create unhealthy eating habits for children because they might begin to expect soda and dessert with dinner on a daily basis. The fatty foods children eat are causing them • to be in poor health. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2000, 15 percent of youths 6 to 19 were overweight. In 1980, 7 percent of youths in this age group were overweight. This increase has contributed to $117 billion spent annually on health care connected to Americans' obesity, according to a February MSNBC.com article. A reason for this surge in obesity among children may be related to the fact that more families have parents who both work full-time jobs. Many parents are busy and want to feed their children quickly and easily. If eating high-fat foods at restaurants could potentially put children's health in jeopardy, convenience should no longer be relevant. Sen. Tom Harkin, D- 'Instead of a side of fries, they should serve fresh fruit! Iowa, proposed a bill in February that would require restaurants to label menus with nutrition facts. Restaurants need to offer healthier food options for children. Instead of a side of fries, they should serve fresh fruit. They should offer entrees with more vegetables, such as a chil- _____ dren's salad. Most children probably have to eat it at home anyway. Red Lobster . recently began adding new, healthier items to its children's menu, such as fresh mahi-mahi and crab legs. These items act as alternatives to popcorn shrimp or fried fish and chips. Restaurants should promote free milk and juice refills for children as a healthier option to soda. Parents and restaurant owners throughout the country need to understand how unhealthy meals like cheeseburgers are for children. Growing health risks and obesity rates are proving that children's diets need to change. Too many baskets of fries are endangering the youth of the nation and enlarging their waist lines.
