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.

The proposition amends the state's constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

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. Researchers study elementary students Researchers at Western and the University of Washington in Seattle said moving during the elementary school years may contribute to . disengagement with school just before the significant changes, of adolescence. 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. Bybee said by aligning the photos, a morph, or a "before and after" imagers depicted. Bybee said he hopes Death of a Polaroid will show viewers his appreciation of instant film and that people- see something they have seen before, a common Polaroid; instant photo, in a different more artistic way. Budden said she hopes Death of the Polaroid attracts a broader audience that will enjoy and appreciate Polaroid instant photography art. "Polaroid photos are a nostalgia and novelty because they are instant," Budden said. "I like having the picture I took in my hand."

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. The decision came a day after Western won its final match of the season against conference-opponent University of Alaska Anchorage, three sets to two, Saturday at Carver Gym. The Vikings were hoping their season would continue into postseason play until the brackets were released Sunday night. photo by Jon Bergman THE WESTERN FRONT Western middle blocker Angie Alvord makes contact with the ball during the fifth set tiebreaker against the University of Alaska Anchorage Saturday in Carver Gym. "I am very disappointed because I thought my team deserved a spot," Western head coach Diane Flick said. "I feel bad for the seniors whose careers are ending much earlier than they had thought." 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Wednesday only, voting takes place from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15p.m. in Fairhaven's coffeeshop, 4:45 to 6:15 p.m. in Fairhaven's dining hall, and 9:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.in Arntzen Hall's foyer. Voting on Thursday only takes place from 11:45 a.m. to 1 :15 p.m. at VikingCommons and 4:45 to 6:15 p.m. at the Ridgeway Dining Hall. Dawn Battson, AS election coordinator, said her goal for this year's election is 20 percent of the student body voting, almost twice the voterturnout last year. Some of the candidates are running unopposed. Two of the positions, ServicesCouncil Representative (#5) and Facilities Council Representative (#7) had no applicants.

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. PUNKERS ROCK WESTERN- [top left] "Enemy's" lead singer; [top] "Enemy's" lead guitarist; [center] glassy eyed punk fan; [left] the"Avengers." ---------- Western Front - 1978 April 18 - Page 11 ---------- •fiiesday, Kpinl IJB^ISITH1 Wesie^tTont IT Dance concert mixture of arts by LIZ RUST When youstand in the stage wings to watch the Portland Dance Theater (PDT) perform, your eyes are treated tobrilliant floor lights intermingling with dancers who move in pastel clothes. 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. Goldner sai lt;j he would like to uplift the music d« partment's image, and attract sti dents from other areas besidel Washington. llIIIJ'MllWJjilM:!!Jonathan has jusKkiMed a man and taken the first step in his journey into violertee---a queasy yetexhilarating voyage that^ takes him far beyoncNhe boundaries of his orderly life The most purelyentertaining film at the Cannes Film Festival 77 .

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." Like miniature 'Seafair' I CAME TO COLLEGEFOR THIS? — Corky Brown [left], Lonnie Aemmert and Ralph Braseth contemplate their efforts afterpulling 2,000 meters in the Junior-Varsity four. First-year women row well by BRUCE STINSHOFFAnyone familiar with Settle's "Seafair" celebration nd the boat races on Lake Washington probably can im-gine the Seventh Annual Wes-irn Invitational Rowing Regat-i Saturday at Lake Samish. ist thinksmaller. It was a minature "Seafair," omplete with an airshow, wa-j r skiing, tow trucks, an ccident,parties and of course, lenty of sunshine. About 500 people were on and to watch Western and 10 therrowing teams race for lore than six hours. Most of the spectators had )meone to root for — a son oraughter, a girlfriend or boy-iend or just a favorite team. "Yea Stan!" a woman on the delines yelled as her son slped stroke a University of Washington shell to victory, nother man, standing on the ridge, waitedfor his son's ice to begin. Ron Duckworth, whose aughter, Rhonda, rows for Western, was watching his first crew meet. "I don't know how she does it," Duckworth said. "She's involved in field hockey andshe's pretty good in school, too." In between races the crowd was treated to a bi-plane that made a fewbanking turns over the lake and a water skier who seemed to ride the waves all afternoon. "That waterskier comes out every morning," Greg Styrk, a Western rower, said. Many people who lived by theContinued on page 14 by KIM KLEIN Western's women's crew took to the water under sunny skies inthe Western Invitational Rowing Regatta last Saturday. "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)

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. Intalco donated approximately $9,400 to the city of Sumas on Tuesday. The donation comes from Intalco's Business and Community Partnership Program, which gives part of the revenues back to the communities where Intalco and Bonneville Power Administration employees live. This is the second and final year of the program. Intalco donated approximately $1.75 million this year and in 2002 to the program, Intalco public relations spokeswoman Ricki Thompson said. "It was great for the allocation because of the five years of work we have been doing with the city of Sumas/' Center Director Tom Dorr said.

The empty shoes represented the innocence and vulnerability of children, said Gig Harbor resident Jim Hines, whose neighbor's daughter was molested.

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.

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. Zoe Fraley/The Western Front Giffords Corner co-owner Sung Mun greets a Whatcom Middle School student Thursday. Authorities arrested Denise Daniels Wednesday in connection with a Jan. 25 shooting. "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.

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. Bo Stewart, a Loa Records member and Western senior, said Table Dancing With Betty played at Loa's first show in February 2003. Since then, the band has performed at four Loa-sponsored shows, Sanford said.

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.

Anchorage senior forward Peter Bullock, a preseason All-American, was out early with foul trouble. Bullock played only eight minutes in the first half and 15 in the second. "That was crucial," Western senior guard Jason Burrell said. "Once we knew he was in foul trouble, we tried to attack him and put pressure on the team because we knew things would be easier that way."

"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.

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.

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.

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.

The measurewas one of five referenda the AS Board of Directors approved for next month's student election,including a question about establishing fraternities and sororities on campus. Dan Vossen, who hadgathered about 500 signatures for an initiative on the football question, withdrew his petitions Fridaybefore they were certified by the AS Election Board. Vossen, who walked out of the meeting as theboard made its decision, earlier said he was concerned with the "catastrophic injuries and death" thatcan occur in football. He said he changed his mind after discussing the injury aspects and safetyprecautions of Western's program with Head Coach Boyde Long and several team members. "It wouldserve only to divide the campus instead of bringing it together," Vossen said, adding the issue could seta precedent in which ••BULLET/A/** Hanson disqualified Ty Hanson, who filed as a candidatefor Associated Students president, Avas- disqualified last night by the AS Election Board. One of fourcandidates for the top spot, Hanson was deemed ineligible for the job because he does not meetrequirements set down in the AS Election Code, Election Board Chairman Art Antram said. Hanson canfile a complaint with the board, which must act on the appeal before Friday when the AS ballot goes tothe printer, Antram said. "I didn't like to have to make that decision because it means he's just aboutout of luck," Antram added. Candidates for AS president are required to have experience in studentgovernment or to have served, on a university or student government -committee. Antram claimedHanson listed his only experience as membership in the Forensics Club, which does not qualify him torun. Other candidates who filed recently include Russell Whidbee for vice president for academicaffairs; Jere Hawn and Brad Klein for vice president for external affairs; Mark Japhet and Stephan Londino for vice president for activities; Athena Lee Bradley for director-at-large from the University ServicesCouncil; and Kari Wolfe and Mark Earle for director-at-large from the Inter-hall Council. No one filed for the AS secretary/ treasurer position. Western student discovered dead in Gamma dorm James William Morris, 19, of 423 Gamma, was found dead in his room Sunday by friends, the Department of PublicSafety reported yesterday. The cause of death was not immediately determined. Morris, a freshmanengineering major, was a resident of Graham, Wash., according to university records. Friends of Morriscalled campus police officers to the scene after they were unable to wake him. Attempts by the officersand paramedics to revive Morris were unsuccessful, a Bellingham Fire Department spokeswomanconfirmed yesterday. The spokeswoman said the paramedics from Fire House 51, on Harris Ave.,received the call at 6:12 p.m. and arrived at Morns' room three minutes later. Medics tried to revive Morrisfor more than 30 minutes before pronouncing him dead as a result of cardiac arrest. Dr. Robert Rood,Whatcom County medical examiner, said he could not confirm the cause of death until autopsy tests arereturned from the state pathological laboratory in Seattle in another week. "I would be surprised at thispoint if there was any obvious sign of alchohol or drugs as the cause of death," Rood said yesterday. Dr.Robert Gibb performed the autopsy yesterday afternoon at Jones Funeral Home. Gibb could not bereached for comment about his findings. Funeral arrangements for Morris are pending. The funeral willtake place in Puyallup, a Jones Funeral home spokeswoman confirmed. a minority of students could vote to drop programs. AS President Greg Sobel pointed out that many students indicated they wanted tosee the issue on the ballot because of the football program's cost, the dismal win-loss record and thepotential for injury. "I think that Vossen's change of heart is not a reason to withdraw the issue," Sobelsaid. Divisive issues should be on the ballot to encourage discussion and gauge student opinion, headded. The board also voted, 7-1, to put on the ballot another controversial issue, suggested bysophomore business administration major Mark Japhet. The referendum asks students, "Do you wish tosee the formation of fraternities and sororities on Western's campus?" The AS recognition policy,which must approve formation of the "Greek houses," denies establishment of student organizationsthat discriminate against certain students. The policy would have to be rewritten to accommodate thegroups, Sobel said. Fraternities and sororities are (continued on page 2) Senior citizens joined studentsThursday in a rally protesting the Reagan administration's nuclear proliferation policies.

Two more seek AS hot seat By MITCH EVICH Few people will complain about a lack of choices in this year's Associated Students presidentialrace. Two more candidates, KUGS Public Affairs/ News Director Mark Murphy, and current AS VicePresident for Activities Nancy Wampler joined the race Friday, increasing the field of candidates tofour. Jamie Beletz and Ty Hanson declared earlier. Wampler, a 21-year-old junior, cited the need foractivating the Washington Student Lobby as a particularly important issue. She said students need tobe educated about the needs of higher education. "It has been obvious to me, through my involvement in SORE (Students Opposed to Reductions in Education) and the WSL petition drive, that students justare not a political force," she said. "Students need to be better informed and better organized if theyhope to have any influence." Wampler said she believes that WSL will function most effectively if itrestricts itself to higher education issues. "The entire reason for forming the WSL was to fight forhigher education," she said. "We have to build from the ground up, and we have to build a seriouspolitical lobby." Wampler said she questions the current plan developed by the Washington Association of University Students requiring one of every three WSL steering committee members to be from a"diversified" background. "It.is not necessarily a good idea to set aside a position for a minor- • ity.I feel this could be regarded as tokenism," Wampler said. She added that she "is idealistic enough . tohope we can change the attitudes that make setting aside a token representation necessary."Murphy, an English major, also stressed the importance of making the WSL work. "In the last 10 yearswe've seen a radical change in the way students feel they should use their political power," Murphy said. "The lobby will be important in organizing this power." Agreeing with Wampler, Murphy said the WSLmust focus on higher education issues. "There's a chance the lobby might lose credibility in the eyes of lawmakers and legislators" if it embraces other issues, he said. "1 think the lobby should stress theneeds and concerns that directly affect students." Murphy also said he disagrees with the WSL"diversity" proposal. . "I certainly don't think the third student from a university should have to be a black or a woman," he said. "1 certainly think they should be encouraged to apply, though." The proposal"also raises the (continued on page 2) Mark Murphy Nancy Wampler ---------- Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1982 Illicit sex a modern woe, Palau says Brandingextramarital sex as "spitting in the face of the Creator," Argentinian evangelist Luis Palau brought hismessage of salvation to Bellingham last week. The faithful flocked to Palau's huge revival tent in the Kmart parking lot every night to hear him speak, except last Tuesday when heavy winds forced thecapacity crowd of 3,500 to move to the Whatcom Sports Arena. Palau's first "Youth Night," conductedthe same night, ran much like an extended church service. The first half hour was spent singinghymns, taking offerings in generic fried chicken buckets and plugging local television spots and futurecrusade dates. The 47-year-old Palau emerged behind a blue-draped pulpit to begin his hour-longsermon on sexual frustration and temptation to a predominantly teen-aged crowd. Palau addressed thefirst Youth Night audience as "fellows and girls, ladies and gentlemen." "We love to draw you to Christwhile you're young," Palau said and stressed that "people in America are morally bankrupt andcannot keep control of sex." "All inner-city problems as well as suburban problems stem fromillegitimate sex," he said, citing the current hit "Let's Get Physical" as an example of increasedaccessibility of sex in the media. "Sex outside of marriage is spitting in the face of the Creator," heemphasized. This theme encompassed the evening. Tuesday's crusade also featured musical guestPam Mark Hall performing two of her own compositions, one dealing with a former prostitute seeking Christ, the other advocating internal beauty instead of vanity. Saturday night, a livelier crowd wasgreeted with suicide tales, Elvis anecdotes and microphone feed back. "God's doing his thing heretonight," speaker Ralph Fry said. "Man's doing his thing all over the world and he isn't doing a verygood job of it." Saturday's theme was fear of .failure, illustrated with several stories of suicide ordealsas well as Elvis Presley's inability to achieve mortal happiness. The sermon was punctuated with a loud speaker explosion midway through, with Palau continuing undaunted. "The peace of God is asupernatural peace," Palau said, "and that's something you can't put in a test tube at WesternWashington University." Palau finished his sermon saying that he was going to "pray for those whohaven't given their lives to Christ to have a miserable night, so they will give their lives to Christ." Bothevenings culminated with the obligatory call for lost souls to go to the platform and give their lives toChristianity. Out of a crowd of 3,500, about 50 people each night huddled together by Palau's platform.Senate tabs members of VP search panel Argentine firebrand Luis Palau While uproar about themakeup of the presidential search committee continues, another group quietly is seeking someoneto fill James Talbot's position of vice president for academic affairs next year. Walter Lonner of thepsychology department and John Moore of the business department were elected without oppositionby the Faculty Senate yesterday afternoon to serve on a committee advising Talbot in selecting nextyear's acting vice president for academic affairs. Talbot will serve as acting president afterUniversity President Paul Olscamp leaves the post July 31 to take command at Bowling Green StateUniversity in Ohio. Talbot's replacement will be appointed for the period of Sept. 1, 1982 to June 30,1983, after which Talbot will return to his executive vice president duties. Currently, Talbot fulfills adouble function as executive vice president and vice president for academic affairs. He added that he does not know whether he will fulfill a similar duty in the new president's administration. Applications for the academic affairs position must be submitted to Talbot no later than Friday. The committeeappointed by the Two more join presidential race (continued from page 1) question of who, is 'diverse,'"Murphy added. "You can't play God." In discussing internal issues, Wampler said establishing goodrelations with current University President Paul Olscamp's successor is a top priority. "The quality ofthat relationship will affect the effectiveness of student government in the future," she said. Wampleralso expressed concern about the lack of student representation on the presidential searchcommittee. She branded it "an issue we must pursue at all costs," and said students have proven theyhave the capacity to participate in the decision-making process. She said three students would be areasonable number on the committee. Wampler said the AS president needs to be able to balance theneeds of free discussion and remain focused on issues, but said' she would regard the former as moreimportant. "One thing i've learned as chairman of the activities council is the need to maintain a delicate balance," she said. "But I would prefer to encourage free and open discussion, rather than stifle it at the expense of reducing the effectiveness of each member." Murphy, however, said he would tend to leanthe other way, and emphasize structure and efficiency in AS board meetings. "One of the roles of achairman of a committee is to see that business is conducted as efficiently as possible," Murphysaid. "Wasting time is certainly not to one's advantage." Murphy also cited student-administrationrelations as an important issue. "One problem we've seen in the past is the existence of an 'us' and'them' sort of attitude," Murphy said. "But that's wrong because we're all on the same team. "Students,faculty and the administration all are working toward the same goals, but sometimes we forget that,"he said, adding that faculty and students deserve more representation on the search committee.Murphy said he thinks reductions in Service and Activities fees because of declining enrollment couldbe partially recovered through increases in AS organizations' fund-raising programs. He used KUGSas an example, which he said increased its revenues three to four times during the past year. Wamplersaid she opposes increases in S A fees to support existing programs. She suggested the AS Board ofDirectors and the S A Fee Split Committee should work together to set spending priorities.

Grid question OK'd (continuedfrom page 1) discriminatory on the basis of sex, and also because they choose their members and"Greeks" must pay dues to joi/i, he added. Japhet explained that fraternities and sororities traditionally are involved in community fund-raising events and that Greek alumni contribute the majority of gifts at most universities. "I think it would be neat to live in a house with a bunch of guys and have parties withsororities," said Japhet, who is a candidate for vice president for activities. In a continuing battle to gain a stronger student voice in the university administration, the board also voted to ask if a Westernstudent should be included on the Board of Trustees as a full voting member. Moving to internationalissues, the board also voted to gather student opinion on two referenda concerning nucleardisarmament and U.S. aid to El Salvador. "The results of this will be forwarded to our representativesin Congress and the President," Sobel said. AS candidates will discuss these and other issues at atwo-hour forum scheduled for 11 a.m. April 29 in the Viking Union Lounge. senate yesterday will reviewthe applications and make its choice by May 7. Talbot said he expects to receive about 10 applicatonsfor the position he calls a "pressure-cooker job." Billings pleads guilty A former Western employeehas pleaded guilty to charges that she embezzled some $45,000 from the music department. Jean A.Billings, 47, entered the plea Thursday in Whatcom County Superior Court. She had been charged withfirst-degree theft. Her plea before Superior Court Judge Byron Swedburg scrubbed an April 28 trial.Billings, also known as Jean Greenleaf, could spend as many as 10 years in prison and pay a $20,000fine. Sentencing, however, was postponed until a presentence report is completed. Such a reportcould take as long as two months. Court documents state that the Whatcom County ProsecutingAttorney's office has withheld its sentencing recommendation until the report is com-pletedf Billingshas been released on her own recognizance. According to court documents, Billings wrote checks on music department accounts that eventually appeared in her personal account. Between Oct. 31,1980, and Jan. 6 of this year, $6,625 worth of checks were made out to several individuals and deposited into Billings' own account, the documents state. Some of the 18 checks were made out to a formermusic instructor, who later told investigators his signature was forged on the checks, the documentsstate. The remainder of the money was embezzled prior to 1980, according to the documents. Theformer music department secretary has told officials that, in 1971, she received a telephone call from aman who asked her to make bogus payments, the doucuments state. She reportedly has toldauthorities that, although the man did not make threats, she still thought she had to cooperate. Theinvestigation of the embezzlement scheme, led by Lt. Chuck Page of Western's Department ofPublic Safety, was touched off when university accountants discovered large discrepancies in music department accounts. Billings was arrested in February of this year. She did not have a criminalrecord. ---------- Page 3 ---------- TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1982 WESTERN FRONT 3 County residents join anti-nuke bandwagon By MICKBOROUGHS More than 6,600 Whatcom County residentsjoined a movement against the nuclear armsrace that is sweeping the Western world and showed their support on petitions presented to DemocraticCongressman Al Swift Friday. Swift accepted the bundle of more than 200 ink-filled petitions to takeback to Washington, D.C. The petitions symbolize the growing concern among county and campusresidents of nuclear arms proliferation. "If you get Al Haig to make another statement, you could probably get another thousand (signatures)," Swift said, referring to the controversial statements by the secretaryof state regarding U.S. first-strike policies. Speaking to a dozen supporters of the Whatcom CountyNuclear Arms Freeze Committee in his Bel-lingham office last week, Swift praised the movement asbeing "persistent, quiet and not shrill." "What makes this movement credible is that it is not violent likethe shrill of protest movements in the 1960s," Swift said. More than a dozen local organizations joined in sponsoring a freeze coalition, including several area churches and the Associated Students Board ofDirectors. , Swift credited the "middle-aged, middle-class" Americans with helping to make the protestmovement respectable in order to garner favor with Congress. "The members of Congress want to beseen as being respected and concerned with the same issues that concern the people who will vote forthem next November," he said. "However," Swift said, "the Reagan Administration believes movements of this type are the same that protested against the Vietnam war and that they should not be trusted."Middle-Americans are saying that Reagan's rhetoric is frightening and the country should start aprocess of radical negotiations to limit nuclear arms, and then conventional arms, Swift said. ..Congressional debate centers on what type of nuclear arms freeze package it can recommend toReagan. The liberals are favoring a resolution by senators Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Mark Hatfield(R-Ore.) that calls for an immediate freeze and does not include preliminary buildup. Congressionalconservatives are attracted to a resolution by senators Henrv Jackson (D-Wash.) and John Warner (R-Va.) that will require a buildup of arms before negotiations with the Soviet Union could take place.Reagan has stated that he favors a package similar to the conservative Jackson-Warner resolution. Swiftsaid he is dismayed that no negotiations have occurred in the past year, and said he would favor any billthat will take the United States and the Soviet Union into arms reduction talks. "I'll support any bill thatleads to further talks, however, I have stated that I currently favor the Kennedy-Hatfield proposal," Swiftsaid. "Should another.proposal offer a better chance of passing, I'll support that bill." Harriet Spanel, oneof the eight founding members of the Nuclear Arms Freeze Committee, said she disagrees with Swifton that point. "I can't agree with the Jackson-Warner resolution and I can't agree with him (Swift) that thetwo resolutions are even comparable," Spanel said. Swift predicted that the nuclear arms freeze issuewill be a main concern of the Congressional mid-term elections, and he urged organizers not to let themovement die before November. "If you get your signatures, present them to Congress and let it go atthat, your effort will only have a half-life," Swift said. "While it is important to make your point withCongress, you have to demonstrate it to the administration, if they are educable." Swift said he does notfavor the idea of the World Peace Tax Fund, in which taxpayers could withhold a percentage of incometax that is slated for the military budget. The money would instead be placed into a fund that wouldfinance organizations dedicated to peaceful negotiations. He said he does not agree with CatholicArchbishop Raymond Hunthausen of Seattle, who withheld $500 of his personal income taxes to beplaced into the fund. '.-^ gt;y'^~ - -'•••'•'' "The. Hunthausen appfbach .will, not work effectlively. People will become selective as to what taxes they pay and that will lead to chaos. I understand his concern and respect his view, but I don't agree with him," Swift said. KOVACS RESTAURANT Salmon, salmon steaks or f i l e t s , $1 / l b . Smoked Salmon, $2.50/lb. Crab meat, $4/lb.

Immediately after using his office to promote a "spiritual revival" in the United States, thepresident on Thursday praised a 19th-century British hanging law before a shocked group of eighth-graders in the Midwest. Then, on Saturday, Reagan made what may well be the most absurd statementof his presidency so far, proclaiming that America doesn't have much of an unemployment problem. Thereal problem, he said, was that too many people are looking for jobs — especially women. To hearRonnie tell it, one would think that only men have the right to seek work. Such an implication not onlyviolates the promise of equality held out by the U.S. Constitution, but it ignores the fact that more andmore women are being forced by necessity to look for work outside the home. Currently, about one out of every three women householders in America survives on incomes below the poverty level. This compares with only one in 19 male heads-of-household. In addition, about 1 million children in female-headedhouseholds moved below the poverty level in 1979, the most recent year for which records have beencompiled. For male-headed households, approximately the same number of children moved out of thepoverty level. Is it any wonder that more and more women are seeking work? By making women thescapegoat for the dismal failure of his antiquated economic policies, Reagan not only shows an appallinglack of compassion, but a misunderstanding of America's social ills that surpasses that of any otherpresident in American history. Don't let stats kill individuality A cold, calculating behemoth hasinfiltrated higher education and society. It was nurtured from birth by social scientists, taught to performby politicians, and has been misunderstood by everyone else. It is the legacy of statistics. In the early years of this century, fledgling sociologists and psychologists conceived statistics as a means ofgiving shape to the data they collected through censuses and studies. The numbers were used as tools,but could provide only one-dimensional accuracy. But then the politicians, the corrupters of anythingthat can be turned to their advantage, noticed the figures. The hucksters taught the numbers to dance,and all meaning was lost in the diving, twisting pattern. This continues to be a significant use ofstatistics today. Unemployment rates and numbers of workers are used to tell conflicting stories. Theindividual laborer, dumped by the corporate money machine after 20 years of service, is forgotten.President Reagan actually chastised the news media for reporting anything but the numbers. The samething happens at Western. We talk of FTEs and positions, not people. The administration hides theRIF behind a curtain of algebra, masking the searching students and dedicated educators on the otherside. When we reduce others to numbers, what is left of ourselves? We can do little but join them, andwatch the meaning of an individual life dwindle to zero. Each person is special, each is different, andevery single being must be cherished, not forgotten in a logarithmic table. Peel back the numbers, andlook into the faces hidden behind them. Read the despair, the uncertainty, the joy. Do not condemnyourself and others to live only in statistics. Nuclear war need not be a somber affair The armed services,in their never-ending search for a few good men, often bring their exhibits to college and high schoolcampuses in an attempt to secure recruits. Not long ago, I found myself wandering into such an exhibitin the Viking Union lounge. 1 had just been emasculated by a chemistry mid-term. Alone, depressedand in need of vocational guidance, I headed toward a booth manned by the United States Marines.While pretending to look at a Jeff Kramer ;|;!' brochure entitled "Bonzo Gets a Gun," I overheard thefollowing conversation between a young Western student and a recruiter there: "My name's Squibbles,Sir. Charles Squibbles." The undergraduate hitched his brown book bag up on his shoulders as hespoke. "I'd like to be a Marine." "And just what makes you think you can be one of us?" the recruiterasked in a tone as cool as the Bel-lingham morning. Somewhat surprised by the question, the studenthesitated momentarily before blurting out, "My student aid got cancelled so I really need a job bad. Plus, I guess this is a pretty good country to defend." The recruiter seemed genuinely impressed. "Youappear to have all of the necessary qualifications," he said. "Blind loyalty, a healthy financialdependence and poor grammar are three of the biggest things we look for in new recruits. Tell me, arethere any particular programs or specialties you are interested in?" This time the student's reply wasimmediate. "I'd like to launch bombs, Sir. Big ones, if it's all right." A gigantic smile crossed therecruiter's face, curling his thin lips inward to reveal a gold tooth. "Squibbles," he beamed, "you're one ina million. Most of these kids want free technical training or even college credit from the Marines. Butyou'd-just as soon cut out all the B.S. and start pushing buttons. 1 like that." I glanced over my brochure to look at the young student. He was flushed with a prideful glow. "There's only one problem,Squibbles," the recruiter continued. "I'm afraid you're just too damn valuable to be hidden in a missilesilo. We've got to give you some RESPONSIBILITY. I'm going to recommend you for ASPARD." "Ass-what?" Squibbles querried. "ASPARD. The Armed Services Propaganda and Rhetoric Department. Asan ASPARD representative you will be asked to carry a very important message to the Americanpeople." The recruiter paused to light a filterless Camel. When he resumed speaking, he did so in alower, more confidential tone. "Squibbles," he said, "this damned peace movement has a lot of usrunning scared in the military. We need a fresh, new angle to combat it. Squibbles, I want you to goout and tell the American people that, not only can we survive *FROMTHEHALLS UEWILLF16UTBUTTHBM WKMlSRH^S OFNKMGUA TUQSTOTY HWGNTENP WJUEBUTTON TOTHESHORESGONMESdUST UPUKEITW ANPWSQOlNfi OF SALVADOR UKEWWD IHVIETNAM TOPROPTUEjfrSUNS TO THE MARINE HYMN MUZmBVCMY**"*^ and win a thermonuclear confrontation, but thatnuclear war is fun — you know, like miniature golf and Parcheesi." The bewildered look on the recruit'sface drew a quick laugh from the marine. "Take a look at this," he said almost haughtily, thrusting agreen ringbinder at the student. By this time, curiosity had bested my desire to remain unnoticed. Ished my brochure and moved in for a closer look at the binder. The first section was entitled "ThemeParties in Bomb Shelters." "Turn to the second part," the marine commanded. The student compliedwith enthusiasm, quickly locating a page that read "Section Two: Practical Jokes with ContaminatedDrinking Water." "That's my favorite," the recruiter chortled, pointing to a diagram of a frustrated womanpouring liquid from an ice cube tray. The recruiter then reached under the table and came up with asmall horseshoe-shaped mold. "This little gismo will enable survivors to take dental records of the lessfortunate," he said. "It should really help keep the kids busy until television is reinvented." "Neat," theprivate-to-be responded. "Where do I sign up?" The recruiter hand-signaled an armed guard who marched across the room to the booth. "Just go with the nice sergeant to the big blue van parked outside," themarine explained, pointing a tobacco-stained digit towards the idling vehicle. 1 watched the guard escortthe recruit to the van until the recruiter interrupted my thoughts. "Can I help you, son?" he asked. "Nothanks," I mumbled. "I gotta go to a chemistry lab."

Ididn't attend the meeting, but understand that its purpose was to listen to students'views. But I see noreason for the article's crucifixion of Dan Vossen. If Mr. Vossen had half the tact of Mr. Evich's article inpresenting his proposal to the council, I see no reason for the name calling that runs throughoutEvich's article. Because he doesn't happen to agree with Mr. Vossen's opinion, I see no reason to callhis attempt to keep educational costs down "diarrhea." A bit graphic, don't you think, for someone justexpressing his opinion? I don't believe one who voices his views can be that naive. . It's amazing how Mr. Evich can condemn Mr. Vossen's argument as prejudiced without pointing out to the readers that heplayed varsity football in high school as a defensive back. Another interesting quirk that exists in thearticle is his condemnation of the stereotypical attitude he and others have of football players. Hesuccessfully stereotyped Mr. Vossen and those who share his opinions by describing them as "anti-jocks" and further categorizing them as "pseudo-intellects." I ask Mr. Evich to stop viewing anti-jocks aspseudo-intellects. Still another contradiction prevails. He criticizes the 85^percent (pro-football)majority for staying home on election day and voting with their rear-ends. Yet at the same time hecriticizes Mr. Vossen's attempt to petition his cause. His highly emotional descriptive terms of"hysterical prejudices" are a bit overacted. He hopes that students "have the good sense to ignore"Mr. Vossen and further states that his so-called prejudices have no place in a liberal society. I don'tknow what his definition of a liberal society is, but . mine is that of free-flowing diverse viewpoints thatinherently contain some degree of prejudice. Mr. Evich seems worried that if the proposal gets onto theballot, it just might get passed with the 15 percent minority vote. So be it. If the other 85 percent refuseto participate, that's their hard luck. Whether or not the 15 percent is a representative sample, theyare the only ones who cared. His attempt to alert the students to this possibility is the onlysubstantial argument 1 have found.

I don't knowwhat level he is speak-, ing from, but some students cannot give their tuition bill to Mom or Dad, andthere even are some who don't receive financial aid. Mr. Vossen's understandably emotional proposal isan attempt to reduce the burden of higher education, many students' primary goal at Western. Granted,it would be great if all these activities could continue, but the money just isn't there. I guess it's a matter of at what level students wish to continue to participate in Western's diminishing academic and extra-curricular activities; and at what level people can afford to do so.

Mr. Vossen stopped short of saying his argument was based on Western's losing record,but 1 won't. If the team cannot afford to contribute a reasonable share of its cost through attendance,why should the students who choose not to attend have to? This, of course, is not an ideal argument by any means, as it deters losing teams from eventual success. It is merely a point of view. If the teamwas dismantled, who says it can't be reinstated at a later, more financially feasible time? After all, notmuch would be lost. —David Sherron Letters to The Front must be signed and include the author'saddress and telephone number for purposes of verification.

The men outdistancedPLU 100-62, while the women earned 82 points against PLU's 50. "We were really rolling out there,"women's coach Tony Bartlett said. "They're our biggest rivals and we went out to discourage them."While PLU may have been discouraged, the Viking women were nothing of the kind as they put on a show of 20 seasonal-best performances, three of which were personal records. Wendy Malich was one of theteam members to set a personal record. Having jumped all season within the 16 foot mark, Malich finallybroke that barrier with a second place effort of 17-6, which was good enough to make her eligible for theregional meet in Ellensburg next week. Malich also won a regional berth in the women's 400-meterhurdles with a first place time of 66.4. The next personal best effort came from javelin-thrower JoanWilliamson. She hurled the javelin 140- 9, taking an easy first place. She said her goal for this year is tothrow beyond 160 feet, and she plans to break the standing record within the next two years. "We reallykicked fanny out there today," Williamson commented. Distance runner Marilyn Thibodeau facedstrong competition in the women's 3,000-meter run against the nation's two top 3,000 runners. Thibodeau ran a strong third with a time of 10:12.9, breaking the record set two weeks ago by a full second.Bartlett said the team just is beginning to reach its / top performance level. "We train real hard early on,"Bartlett said, "but it's just after spring break that we have begun to sharpen up." Bartlett also said thewomen's performance Friday established them as a heavy favorite in the regional meet. This weekendthe team will compete in Ellensburg. Donna Larry and Thibodeau will attend the University ofWashington Invitational where they will compete against Division I athletes. The Viking men also camethrough with a solid performance, taking first place in more than half of the events. They took the lead and established themselves early in the meet, but PLU remained in a threatening position until near theend. "Close, too close," was how coach Ralph Vernacchia described the meet. Hurdler Ted Genger alsoadmitted he was a little nervous a b c * the meet. But he managed to control his nerves and qualitied forregionals in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 56.3. In addition, Genger turned in a time of 16.1 to take second place in the 110-meter hurdles. Sprinter Craig Sargent barely squeaked by a PLU opponent inthe 100-meter dash to claim second place. Other first place efforts came from Adam Jamison in the 110-meter hurdles (15.8), Mark Christenson in the 1,500-meter run (3:55.8) and Chris Bjarke in the 1,000-meter event (15:23.6). In the field events, Kyle Patrick took first place in the triple jump with a distance of43-1 and weight men Henk Kruithof and Rod Ritter turned in first place throws in the discus and hammerthrow, respectively. The men's team also will travel to Ellensburg this weekend. With teeth clenched and arms extended, Western's Wendy Malich defies gravity long enough to set a personal best of 17-6 in the long jump. I Randall going to Mexico By TODD WILSON .. Western's former basketball coach,Chuck Randall, is leading a basketball playing/Spanish learning group to Mexico this fall. This chanceto play Mexican basketball teams at night and on weekends, while earning university credits during theday, is offered through the Foreign Study Office. The program originated last year although Randallbarely had enough players — six for the men's team and five for the women's team. Teamythis smallmade game fatigue and injuries fatal to their performance, he said.Randall said this year should bebetter. At least 12 men and five women already are planning the trip with a maximum of 20 players foreach team as a reasonable number, he said. Randall will schedule two or three games a week with other Mexican universities and local teams. Last year, both teams played 13 games. The men won nine andthe women won 11. Willie Bose, a member of last year's? team, said: the Mexican players were a littlerough around the edges, but competitive. The better teams they played were comparable to good highschool and average junior college teams here, he said. Sandy Savage, another of last year's players,had few kind things to say about the Mexican officiating, though. She said the officials were a littlebiased toward their own teams and "not too skilled." "We just learned to grin and bear it,"she said.' The team will be based in More-lia, located about four hours by car from Mexico City and Guadalajara.Randall said the host teams pay the traveling and hotel expenses when they play outside of Morelia.The program runs from Sept. 12 to Nov. 12 and anyone interested should contact Chuck Randall. / THE \ /COURTYARD\ ' RESTAURANT gt; HAPPY HOURS! 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Midnight -1:00 a.m.1317 Commercial Monday thru Friday 676-9820 Tequila Tuesday - single liquor drinks 8-12 p.m. 90$Live Music Every Night Ladies' Nite - Thursday - 8-12 p.m. 75t off all drinks Appetizers: Zukes - $3.50Machos - $2.75 Artichoke Hearts - $3.75 Onion Rings - $2.25 Cheese Fruit Tray - $4.25 Mushrooms - $3.75 Stuffed Celery - $3.75 Veggies with Cheese Sauce - $1.95 Cracker Spread - $1.95 SEXINFORMATION seeks women who have had an abortion and are willing to share their experience duringan informal discussion entitled: EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ABORTIONon April 29 at 12:00 in V.U. 408.

The half-court, double-elimination tourney raised $280 for MDS with14 teams paying the $20 entree fee. Richard Fonda, a Western biology professor who helped toorganize and officiate the event, expressed disappointment at the sparse turnout, saying it wasprobably because of the timing of the tourney (April instead of midwinter) and a lack of publicity.Fonda said the tournament organizers had hoped to attract a full 64-tearh field. The winning team "Snow-borne," included Greg Snow and Clayborne Henry from this year's Viking varsity team and JohnStroeder, a former Montana Grizzly. Snowborne's only loss in the tourney was to the Pacific Prolificswho they came back to beat in the championship game. The Prolifics entered the finale undefeated infour 15-minute games. Team member Tom Brandt, a loan servicer at a local bank, voiced confidence inhis unit's strategy of "team ball" prior to the championship. "We show that team ball can win," he said.Mere unselfishness proved an insufficient weapon, however, against the superior size and shooting ofSnowborne. Brandt saw his team drop the championship by three points in overtime. Each member ofthe victorious Snowborne triad received a certificate redeemable for a pair of basketball shoes at Joe Martin's Sporting Goods. mm Western Ruggers earned respect from the big boys at the Pacific CoastChampionship last weekend.

March of PLEASE HELP lt;l) Dimes BIRTH DEFECTS By MORITZSCHEIBLER It never rains in Southern California. That's what Western's Rugby Club thought whenthey went to California to play for the Pacific Coast Championship. Western lost to the two-time national champion, University of California at Berkeley, 27-3, in the first round of the tournament April 9 to II inrain-soaked Santa Barbara. The Berkeley team outweighed Western by some 50 pounds per man, andplayed well also, Western team captain Bob James said. "They were a big and a good team. Theyspanked us pretty well," James said. "They got a lot of penalty points off us. Maybe we were a littlenervous." The bad weather threw the tournament into such a state of chaos that Western's consolation round game with Brigham Young University almost was cancelled. "They didn't know how to handle the rain. They got all flustered and were going to go so far as to cancel the game. We just raised hellabout that. We couldn't have that." Western team member Murray Brackett said. In that game Westernhandled BYU easily, 13-0, to take third place in the four-team tournament. Second-place team wasUCLA. Against BYU, Steve Friswold scored 'two tries arid Brian Hunter added the conversion. Ted Kingscored a drop kick. The game was poorly played in terms of sportsmanship, Brackett charged."Surprisingly enough they were pretty cheap, thoy took a lot of cheap shots," Brackett said of theMormon school. "They played pretty dirty and we didn't expect that." "They played a poor game,"concurred James. He said he thought Berkeley probably would go on to win the National Championship in May at Chicago. As for the future, team captain James said Western should do well again nextyear." "We have a lot of guys returning next year," he said.

Arlen Petersen,commodore of the sailing club, will be skipper of the 44-foot, two- gt;masted boat with a crew of sevenother Western students. Dr. Thomas White, a Bel-lingham orthodontist and avid sailor will be ondeck as the team's coach. Petersen and his crew will jibe, reach and run their yawl against 12 otherteams including Navy, Princeton, Southern California, Texas and Michigan State, in races Fridaythrough Sunday, sailing club member Dave Parker said. Although Western has.participated in twoprevious Kennedy Cup regattas Parker said, it never has won any of the races, and the Navy team, withits home advantage and a history of victories, is the favorite. To raise money, Parker said the clubmembers showed two sailing films and had a guest speaker during winter quarter. More recently theywashed, scraped, painted and polished boats at the Bellingham Marina for donations to support their bidin the regatta. Oar breaks plague crew A trend of untimely equipment failures continued to plagueWestern's crew as a new oar lock broke on the men's varsity shell during Saturday's Liberty LakeRegatta in Spokane. Forced to complete the stormy course with only seven rowers, the varsity boatlimped across the finish line in third place. The Viking lightweight-eight ended up third and the juniorvarsity crew took second place, a full 20 seconds ahead of Washington State University. In last week'sregatta on Lake Samish, an oar broke on the frosh-eight boat during their race and the women's novice-four team was unable to compete because of a broken rigger. Repeating two previous weeks of rowing,the University of Washington dominated Saturday's racing, taking the men's varsity-eight, lightweight-eight and junior varsity competition. Western will race in the Cascade Sprints next Saturday onTacoma's American Lake. =Spotlight= TUESDAY: The University Symphony Orchestra performs at8:15 p.m. in the PAC Concert Hall.

Flora goes on his vacation thisJuly, it may be the last one he takes as Western's president. Flora, president since 1968, was given avote of no confidence on June 5 by the Faculty Council. The council also asked the Board of Trustees torequest his resignation and to consult the faculty in the selection of an interim president. The dayfollowing the vote, Flora issued a statement saying, "I have complete confidence in the WesternWashington State College Board of Trustees to evaluate this situation and arrive at an appropriateconclusion. In the meantime I have no intention of resigning." The trustees are not scheduled to meetuntil August, and it is not known at this time whether they will discuss the Faculty Council's request then or defer it to a later meeting in the fall. The Faculty Council voted seven to six on the no confidencemotion after a secret faculty poll showed that of 390 members responding, 208 voted no and 182 votedyes. One member of the council abstained. Three days after the vote, Donald Ferris of the educationdepartment presented Flora with a petition signed by over 200 faculty members asking him to call afaculty meeting to review the council's action. The faculty could either rescind or support the vote. Ferriscalled the meeting under Article IX of the Faculty Council Constitution which requires the collegepresident to call a meeting if one-third of the faculty request it. Ferris said he did not expect Flora to callthe meeting this summer but expected him to wait until Fall quarter when the entire faculty could bepresent. AS sues Western by JIM THOMSON Associated Students of Western Inc., in an effort tounravel the tangled legal status of itself and its holdings, filed suit against Western in Thurston CountySuperior Court earlier this month. The suit specifically asks the court to define the status of the Western bookstore, which Western and AS have been quibbling over in recent years, and to define the status ofAS in regards to the college. AS, which claims to have been a corporation separate from the collegesince 1933, had reached an impasse in its year-long negotiations with the college concerning theBookstore and the status of the AS. According to Spring quarter AS Legislator Dick Rolfs, both thecollege and AS believe the suit is the only way to clear up the legal tangles. VU Activities CoordinatorBarry Bonifas says that the suit was filed on June 8, and that officers of the state received copies of anannouncement of the suit by June 12. Bonifas says the state has 20 days to reply to the suit, and thatsomewhere around July 1 a court date should be set. The lawyer retained by the AS, John Anderson ofSedro Woolley, is being paid from "a couple of thousand" dollars in reserve accounts which is thatmoney left over from each year's AS budgets, according to Bonifas. When questioned on the legality ofusing state funds to sue the state, he replied, "the whole thing is shaky, which is the reason we filed thesuit, to see what we can and can't do." Interestingly, at the June 1 Board of Trustees meeting, the daybefore the faculty poll was to be tabulated Flora read a letter that was written following an April 11meeting of the Council of Presidents of the state public colleges and universities. The letter, signed byeach of the presidents, noted the "mounting evidence on (their campuses) of declining faculty morale.The letter included a statement "This feeling is increasingly being translated into expressions ofdissatisfaction with the advocacy of their interests by the boards and the administrations of theirinstitutions." At the same meeting, the Board of Directors of the Associated students read a lettersupporting Flora saying that he had "demonstrated an intense and enduring commitment to the wellbeing of the institution." In a separate action, the Staff Employee Council members, acting asindividuals, voted nine in favor of Flora and one abstention. Flora had been attacked by the faculty onseveral fronts. Major charges included poor communications, low morale, high faculty-student ratios andlow salaries. Flora had also come under heavy criticism for his handling of a minority student takeover ofOld Main on May 16. The students were demanding the hiring of two additional faculty members for theCollege of Ethnic Studies. Also, his refusal to allow the campus literary magazine, Jeopardy, to beprinted on campus caused discontent. Flora countered the charges that he had given in to thedemonstrators by saying that he had not bowed to pressure or been intimidated, but that he regretted"the circumstances of timing would lead people to conclude otherwise." He said his decision was basedon data that showed Ethnic Studies' enrollment patterns were atypical of the school because unlikeother areas, enrollment increases during the year rather than falls. The administration had earlier in theyear set a policy of hiring no additional faculty. President Charles J. Flora Flora was also censured bythe All-College Senate, the principal campus legislative body, composed of faculty, students and staff,for his refusal to allow Jeopardy to be printed at the campus printing plant as had been planned. Floracalled certain parts of the magazine "so lacking in literary merit as to disgrace the college." He referredto an article "Kinda God" in particular and predicted that it wouid cause harsh reactions from the publicand the State Legislature. The Senate endorsed an ad-hoc committee's report that Flora had violatedpublications policy, but it did not agree that Flora had acted wrongly "irrespective of student publicationspolicy." Jeopardy was found not to be obscene in the opinion of Whatcom County Prosecutor JaneMason. The magazine was printed off campus. Faculty Council forms evaluating committee A reminderto those who have forgotten—the sun does shine in Bellingham Last week the Faculty Council passed a motion to form a committee to "enable the faculty to evaluate each of the principal administrative officersfor academic and budgetary concerns." This committee will use faculty comments, commendations,complaints a n d s u g g e s t i o n s to make recommendations to the President and Faculty Councilconcerning possible changes in organization, personnel, responsibility and/or function of these positions. The author of the motion, Richard Thompson of the psychology department, said this committee wouldhandle the problems on campus now and compile a list of subjects the faculty is concerned about."Through the committee we should be able to avoid action like that of a couple weeks ago," Thompsonsaid. "That was a fairly large step to take." Recommendations for committee members will be acceptedfrom the faculty as a whole. The council rejected a motion by James Lounsberry of the P.E. departmentto have at least one faculty member from each rank on the committee. The council also defeated amotion asking that the trustees not consider the Faculty Council's request for Flora's resignation untilthe entire faculty convened to discuss the issues. Neil Mullen of the education department introducedthe morion. The next Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for August 2. ---------- Western Front - 1972 June 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, June 27, 1972 Front editorials.. What's happening Oil-economy vs.environment It was with mixed feelings of remorse and relief that we followed the aftermath of the recentoil spill off Arco's refinery at Cherry Point. Relief, because the spill was smaller than was first estimated,and because efforts to sop up the oil from Canadian and American beaches has apparently met withconsiderable success. Remorse, at the fact that the spill had to happen at all, at the clumsy, bumblingattempts by Arco to contain the oil with a slipshod, outmoded boom encirclement, and then at their recent deceitful attempt to appease outraged Canadian citizens by announcing that only a couple of gallons ofcrude oil actually washed ashore on Canadian beaches. This oil spill was minute compared to the spillwhich blackened the waters and beaches of the San Juans around Anacortes with 210,000 gallons of fueloil last year. Arco claims only 2,000 gallons were dumped this month, however, other estimates run ashigh as 50,000 gallons. This oil spill is insignificant compared to the havoc and total destruction whichwill undoubtedly occur when a supertanker runs aground and the millions of gallons in its holds arespread to every comer of the San Juan Islands by the area's swift tidal currents. This type of disastrousspillage is almost certainly going to occur when a fleet of supertankers begins to ferry North Slope crudeoil to the Cherry Point area. The question is will Washington State be prepared with adequate mop-'up,and containment equipment to lessen the oily impact of major spills on the San Juan's defenselesswaters? Obviously, the oil refineries will employ only those minimal precautions and preventativemeasures which the federal and state governments impose upon them. Their business is refining oil andmaking money, not environmental protection. The burden of forcing maximum prevention and cleanupmeasures on these behemoth corporations is therefore shifted on to our shoulders. We are the arm of thegovernment which must force the state Department of Ecology and appropriate federal authorities toescalate development of effective "cleanup technology", spill prevention measures, and a comprehensiveinspection of oil transfer by state authorities to insure that damage from oil spills of the future will beminimized. For when the North Slope's oil resources have been exhausted, when the super tankers havecome and gone, we will be the ones left with either an oil-sodden cesspool or the recreation wonderlandwhich the Canadian and American San Juans currently are. Lyn Watts Bank needs loan program Whena student needs a student loan, the logical place for him to go would be the bank on campus.Unfortunately, the College Branch of the Northwestern Commercial Bank doesn't agree. A bank oncampus that doesn't give student loans is like a coffee shop that serves everything but coffee. Privatebusiness that is allowed to operate on Western's campus should have an obligation to serve students inwhatever way it can. The bank personnel claim that student loans involve a lot of paperwork, andconsequently are too expensive to administer. Yet, the bank is seeking additional space for expansion oftheir facilities. Money is available for expansion so they can handle more student funds, but there is nomoney available for the paperwork involved in student loans. There seems to be some discordance in thepriorities of the bank and the priorities of the students. In the future before any bank is given a lease tooperate on campus a stipulation should be made that student loans are a mandatory part of their program. . . . One more thing-banking hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. are very inconvenient for most students.Although that is the customary banking day, many banks have expanded hours for the convenience oftheir customers. The campus bank seems to be dperating totally for its own profit and convenience withminimal concern for those it is intended to serve, the students. Marie Haugen As everyone will agree, theWestern Front needs help. Our staff this summer is small, and we would welcome gratefully any studentwho wants a job working on the paper.

All letters submitted must include author's name and class. No letters of religious intent will be printed. Editor, Western Front:, I am concerned with the article entitled "Clinic Moves to St.Luke's" (Western Front, May 26). The article states that the Health Services Council has recommendedthat all student health care facilities be moved to St. Luke's Hospital, and that condom machines beinstalled on campus. I feel that it would be a very poor move to remove all health care facilities fromcampus. Health services is, in my opinion, the most important service offered by the college, apart fromthe educational institution itself. Indeed, such services are an absolute essential, quite obviously, to thewelfare of anyone. It seems to me that s t u d e n t s , along with poor people, street people, elderlypeople, and others, are especially vulnerable to lack of health services. Suppose emergency care wereneeded, and one could not afford the incredibly high prices of ambulances? Suppose one just had a cold or a cut finger, had to get to classes, and had no way to get to St. Luke's? It is difficulty enough to getto the Edens Hall facility, e s p e c i a l l y if one lives off-campus. It makes no sense at all to me toclose down even such a rudimentary facility as the one at Edens Hall and move it downtown. What isneeded is not centralization, even if it means improvement of health services, but more facilities, moreconveniently located clinics for people who are unable (and, whom I suspect, are often the most apt toget sick) to reach such an out-of-the-way place. It is obvious that the closure of the Edens Hall facilitywould be a detriment to the students of this college. I agree with Dr. Jernberg that the facility isinadequate to meet the needs, but it is astounding to me that it would be recommended that such a vital (or even not so vital; perhaps just convenient) facility be closed. Both in the treatment of minor ills and in emergency care, or even hospitalization, it is essential that there be adequate facilities close at hand.The solution is not to close the Edens Hall facility, but to expand it and make it completely adequate forthe needs of the students and faculty alike. I urge everyone to support such community-medicineendeavors as Seattle's Open Door Clinic, Eugene's White Bird Sociomedical Aid Station, the Bellingham Free Clinic, the Rising Sun Drop-In Center, and the many, others. The fact that greater priority wasplaced on development of r e c r e a t i o n a l -facilities at Lakewood, and that "this kind of expenditureis not planned in the near future" (referring to the updating of the Student Health Clinic), is just one morereason for me to believe that when the revolution comes, it had better be a damned good one. AdamWoog Fairhaven College Pre-med Builder settles for $742,000 by JAY ECKERT A $400,000 suitagainst Western has been settled out of court for $142,500. The suit was filed by Wick ConstructionCo. to recover extra costs incurred on the c o n s t r u c t i o n of Fairhaven College. Wick claimed thedelays in t h e project, which cost approximately $350,000 above the bid, should be paid by Western.Wick claimed the delays were caused in part by harsh weather. The contract specified that the c o n t ra c t o r would not be penalized for delays due to extremely unseasonable weather, or natural disasters. Wick also sought $56,700 withheld by Western to cover costs to the college because of failure tocomplete the work on time. Western allowed Wick an additional 126 days for the bad weather. Forty-four days work granted to allow for standard difficulties in building. The project was completed 162 daysafter the two grants of additional time. The suit covered events occurring between Sept. 15, 1968 andMarch 21, 1969. The suit was withdrawn June 2 of this year. Wick Construction is currently thecontractor on the Music Auditorium addition and the renovation of Old Main.

Baker is the dominating feature of Northwest Washington. Knownmostly for its winter sports facilities, the mountain has provided inspiration for artists and photographers,along with challenges to hikers and mountain climbers. The most frequently visited part of the mountainis the north side, which is approached via the Mt. Baker Highway, also known as State Highway 542.Following this route will lead the traveler along the North Fork of the Nooksack River and provide manyenjoyable vistas. For the leisurely car trip, once past Glacier, there are many logging roads that can beexplored. One of the most scenic side trips is the road down to Nooksack Falls. Anyone travelling to Mt. Baker should allow enough time to stop and view these falls. A word of caution is given to travellers onlogging roads. It is advisable to proceed slowly since loggers work whenever fire conditions permitincluding weekends. Care should also be taken to avoid throwing burning material from a vehicle. Onceone has reached the Mt. Baker Lodge area, there are several options. If time is limited, a drive up to theAustin Pass area through Heather Meadows will afford a scenic glimpse of Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan. Parking areas are provided for those who wish to take short hikes in the area. Picnicking is permitted inthe vicinity of Austin Pass and around the lodge area. If anyone is interested in an extended hiking tripor any mountain climbing, they are required to register at the Forest Service office in Glacier. A lesserknown area of Mt. Baker is the South Side. This side is less developed and in some ways, more scenicthan the area along the Mt. Baker Highway. Unidentified hikers enjoy a day on one of Baker's highmeadows. To reach the South Side of Baker, it is necessary to travel into Skagit County and proceedeast via State Highway 20. This highway can be reached two ways. The traveller can drive east on theMt. Baker highway to Deming where Highway 9 intersects and turn south to Sedro Woolley. This routefollows the South Fork of the Nooksack River and takes the ^^M Part of the North Cascades which rearup above the Mt. Baker highway.

The c o n t r a c t isfor approximately $1,750,000, not including utilities. Barney Goltz, campus planner, said the targetedcompletion date is early summer 1973. Because of a mistake at the state government level, Westerndid not receive the expected allotment for the project and is funded 20 per cent less than requested.Western has asked the state for additional funds to complete the project. Phase two of the face lift, therenovation of the north wings, has been planned, but no money has been appropriated, for that project.'traveller through very pleasant farmland. The faster way to reach Highway 20 is to drive south onInterstate 5 to the Cook Road exit and then east to intersect with Hwy. 20. This writer recommends thecircle which will afford the tourist a variety of scenery, going one way and returning via the other. Onceon Hwy. 20, proceed almost to Concrete, turning off the main road at the sign that points to Baker Lake. Having arrived at Baker Lake, the possibilities again are virtually unlimited. There are numerous points of interest in this area and a leisurely exploration of the area is highly recommended. There are loggingroads that are almost all passable with the normal passenger car, Forest Service roads and hiking trails that each deserve to be explored. It is advisable to stop at the Koma Kulshan Guard Station to view thelarge map to determine the day's itinerary. If a camping trip is planned, reservations may be needed, butthere are a large number of campgrounds in the area. One of the areas of interest on the south side ofBaker is Baker Hot Springs. This is a bubbling sulphur spring that is very relaxing. The area around theSpring is cleared of underbrush and is a quiet place for a picnic. There are several lookouts in t h e areawhich provide panoramic views of the surrounding forests. Some of these may no longer be manned, but are still accessible. We have touched some of the high points of what we consider to be a spectaculartrip. There may be some places that we are not familiar with, but that is the beauty of Mt. Baker. Eachtime we go back to the mountain we find something new and refreshing. A trip to Baker is what youmake it. Some suggestions to make a trip more enjoyable: —Don't try to see both sides of themountain in one day. —Allow one to one-and-a-half hours travel one way on each side, depending ontraffic. -Don't litter, don't throw burning material from a car and drive carefully. Communiversity open forsummer classes Registration for courses and workshops offered by the Whatcom Communiversity ends tomorrow. T h e W h a t c om Communiversity is "following essentially the same format as theNorthwest Free University," Communiversity coordinator Mike Micari said. The Communiversity wasformed after the Northwest Free University decided not to offer courses for Summer quarter, Micari said. "We're less craft oriented and more growth oriented," coordinator Ron Rich said. "The courses reflectthe growth movement more." The Communiversity divides its curriculum into courses, which meet for as many as nine sessions, and workshops, which meet four times. Fees are $5 for courses, $3 forworkshops, and $1 for each additional class. The Communiversity is offering a co-operative gardeningclass which teaches practical gardening skills in the tour co-operative gardens now under c u l t i v a t i o n . An organic gardening class, designed to help "those working with their first garden this year," is also offered. " P o l l u t i o n Solution," a course that will discuss possibilities of stopping the "proposedAlaskan oil pipeline, is available. The "basic theory or revaluation counseling" will be discussed in acourse titled " E x p e r i e n c e in Personal Counseling." Musically oriented workshops are offered asan introduction to the autoharp class and a class introducing the dulcimer. Bicycle maintenance skills,tuning, riding and adjustment, is being taught in two separate workshops, "Bicycle Tripping" and"Bicycling Workshop." A course in bread making t i t l ed "Ye Auld Kitchen Deliglit" is also beingoffered. "Classes have a distinct freedom about which students can take advantage of, by becoming aliving part of the courses and guide its direction by ceasing to be a wallflower," Micari said. Due tolimited class enrollments many of the courses and workshops are filled. Class schedules can beobtained and registration is being held in the Viking Union Plaza. ---------- Western Front - 1972 June 27 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, June 27, 1972 Western Front 5 Money wouldn't hurt either Day care center needs more roomby STEVE GARVEY The race is to the swift, and so were the handful of openings at Western's co-operative nursery. Only the 40 families with their 53 children that had registered by the second day ofclasses were accepted by the Co-op. Once the quota was reached, parents were turned away becauseof lack of facilities. The Co-op began Winter quarter at Fairhaven College and doubled its membership to 35 children by Spring quarter. When Fairhaven closed for the summer, the Co-op negotiated with Sagafor the use of the second floor of the Viking Commons. While .the nursery was able to expand itsservices, it also began charging the parents, something not required the first two quarters. For the firsttwo quarters, the administration and the Associated Students had contributed equal amounts of moneyto hire a full-time director. The parents decided one was not enough and asked for money for two fulltime directors. The Associated Students, Photos by Jay Eckert after a verbal battle with the parents,refused to allocate the 35 cents from the $2 fee each student pays to write off the Bookstore bond. Thebonds were paid Fall quarter. The Associated Students did allocate 17 cents for one director for the1972-73 academic year, but during that time, the nursery must attempt to get funding through theadministration or the academic'departments. The Associated Students contend that the administrationfunds all other permanent functions of the college and should pay for the nursery as well. A sliding scale determines the amount each family must pay. Based on family income and use of the center, the scalehas a range from $10 to $70 for the full nine week session. In addition to the money, each family isexpected to contribute at least four or five hours a week to the nursery and pay a dollar a week forlunches, whether their child eats there or not. Occasionally parents are asked to bring mid-morning andafternoon snacks. Suggested foods are "good healthy cookies," fruit, seeds and nuts and yogurt. TheCo-op is governed by the parents. All decisions are made at the general business meetings held twice amonth. The two full-time directors, experienced in child psychology and day-care work, enforce thedecisions. A board of directors which includes three faculty members, three parents, an associate dean of students representing the administration, a representative from the Viking Union and the two full timedirectors discuss all the functional problems of the Co-op but have no decision making powers.Because of the limited number of members the Co-op can handle, members have offered to assist anyother group that would like to set up a co-operative. College credit is available to parents or interestedstudents who work in the Co-op. It is a v a i l a b l e t h r o u g h the psychology, home economics a n d e a r l y c h i l d h o od development programs. The Co-op has few written rules: no spanking at the Co-op, no one is forced to eat, and children will be allowed to settle their own fights unless one has a"weapon" or the fight is unequal.. The minutes from the first general business meeting show that theconsensus is that children must learn to settle their own differences and that if broken up, children willlearn fights must be fought out of sight of adults. T h e C o - o p began construction of a playgroundnear Fairhaven in the spring. Built of peeled logs and lumber, the partially finished equipment isscheduled to be completed this quarter. When finished the playground will be a circular, double-tieredstructure with built in swings, slides and a cargo net for climbing. The Co-op will have to move at theend of this quarter, possibly to its own house across from Buchanan Towers at the south part ofcampus. ---------- Western Front - 1972 June 27 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Tuesday,' J uhe 27, 1972 One-man crew carves trail on Sehome Hill Ms-4- * by MATTHENDERSON and DAN BENKENDORF The arboretum entrance signs have been up for quite a whileon Sehome Hill, but Wester is just now getting around to making it easy for people to make their waypast them. Bob Lemon, a senior in biology is currently carving out a 1,400 foot trail on the 35 acre sitethat Western has set aside for the arboretum. The tract, located on the college side of the hill, is beinggroomed to keep people on a permanent path and to keep them from creating their own walkways whichwould destroy vegetation. Lemon, on a work-study program, is now spending the greater part of his daywith a pick and shovel out behind Miller Hall. He is grading, cutting brush, and rerouting existing pathsto create a major walkway which, when completed, will blend in with the natural background of the area. The arboretum construction, for which no funds have been appropriated, is a project headed by JoyceKrell. She describes the ecological arboretum as "plants growing in a natural community relationship."She defined the aims of the arboretum as environmental, a e s t h e t i c , educational, and recreational.

Western's arboretum may soon be joined with a portion of cityproperty on Sehome Hill, if the Park Board and spokesmen from Western can solve problemsconcerning the governance and direction of the completed project. " A f t e r four years of negotiations,the Bellingham Park Board has now committed the west part of Sehome Hill for an arboretum," RonaldTaylor of the biology department said. Most of the wooded area of Sehome Hill is a city park. Westernowns only part of the west slope. Taylor is seeking assurances that the area owned by the city will notbe turned into a recreational area with parking and permanent recreational facilities. He insists the hillcould be very impressive if developed properly. "We plan for labeled vegetation, some of which will befrom the Cascades, blended picnic areas and good trails," he said. lflf.ww lt;9*V SUMMER Art FilmSeries GAMILLE (1936) Greta Garbo gives one of her most beautiful acting performances in her portrayal of Margeurite Gautier, a courtesan of the 19th century.

Jack Smith, assistant director of Viking Union operations stated that it is conceivable that the bank could even lose their lease. "Right now, the only stumbling block tolarger bank quarters is the refusal by the bank to have a student loan program. We don't feel that acampus branch bank is serving the students effectively unless such a program is in effect," Smith said.According to Lolita Peterson, manager of the branch, the bank wishes to move into the space nowoccupied by the barbershop and the smoke shop. She said the present size is not big enough to allowefficient, handling of bank business. "We want to be able to expand by Fall quarter so that we canhandle the big rush of students then," she said. Larry Bautheus, manager of Northwestern CommercialBank, gave the high cost of administering student loans as the reason the bank did not handle them."The paperwork involved is the main problem," he said. "We are working on a program involving acomputer currently, but I have no way of knowing when the whole bundle will be wrapped up. We have averbal agreement from the college for the expansion, but I want something in writing before we go ahead with that phase of the project."

The Western students were booked aboard LIA last year through International Travel, Inc., a Seattle travel agency, by Rich Hass, who was Associated Students Business manager at the time. The airline, based in London, is a charter service specializing in group flights. These groupsare assembled by travel agencies who then look for a carrier for their group. About a hundred Westernstudents had purchased tickets, but Hass said that only a handful had already gone. As a result of LIA's financial problems, International Travel is also having problems. Several groups of people have started * * Shoe Repair Heels while you wait in 3 minutes. 1333 Railroad * * class action lawsuits against thetravel agency. Several Western students have also indicated that they will start legal action in anattempt to get back the money they had paid. Jane Eisenberg, president of International, denied thatthere were hundreds of thousands of worthless tickets as a result of the airline's collapse. Her company had already begun giving refunds of over half the purchase price of each ticket. Because LIA funds arefrozen, International is using its own money. Late last week, a Seattle judge refused to extend atemporary restraining order freezing International's funds. While in effect, the injunction had made itimpossible for customers who had canceled their flights before LIA's collapse to cash their refundchecks. When reached in Seattle, Hass stated that the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) had blocked thetravel agency's efforts to get another carrier for the flights it has booked. The agency "is getting nocooperation from the government, which seems to be trying to drive International out of business," Hasssaid. Most International customers appear to be booking flights themselves on other airlines.International Travel has sent its lawyers to London to file suit in hopes of reclaiming an amount in excess of $1 million paid to LIA for about 10,000 passengers the airline had ^ contracted to,carry this summer.^f^i^%0 ^ M^^% ^^^M% %#^A%# ^^^%^0 ^ ^ ^%0 ^M *0^ ^^M ^0^% %1# tf ^^$%0^ ^^^P% ^^^^*#^^^^#••^^^•^#^*% * ADVERTISEMENT ^ i » t t » » t ^ » t » . i . t t s . t » - t n m i .wHARBOR AIRLINES Daily Scheduled Air Service to Seattle Flight Lv.

Eisenberg saidFriday that International's lawyers tell her that there is an excellent chance that the agency will be ableto recover all the money it had paid to LIA. If the money is recovered, International will refund -thebalance owed' on tickets. Hass, who is working voluntarily for the travel agency during the crisis, saidthat court tie-ups could hamper the agency's attempts to recover its own money. Contrary to a report ina local paper, the Western music group that is touring Europe this summer did not have to remain inBellingham when LIA was placed in receivership. They had been booked on Canadian Pacific Airline.The only Western group still in Bellingham was an art tour of sixteen people. However the college hastransferred money to the tour leader, Robert Urso of the art department, who has booked a flight on PanAmerican Airways. They left Bellingham last Friday. Slade Gorton, State attorney general, approved the use of college funds to arrange the alternate flight since the college had in effect contracted to send the art students to Europe. The college is now exploring ways to recover the money o r i g i n a l l y spentthrough International Travel to book the art tour on LIA. LIA was considered one of the most stableairlines. Eisenberg said that its collapse was entirely unexpected. She RICH HASS said that the samething could have happened to any charter airline. She said that she would "welcome attempts to helpprevent further fiascos." This could be accomplished, she said, through stricter controls on charterairlines. The manager of a Bellingham travel agency, All About Travel, said that the problems faced byInternational Travel were not unexpected, - since the CAB served notice on International several monthsago that legal action was pending against them in connection with allegations of booking illegal charterflights. In the past two or three years, some agencies have offered a group rate or fare as a "come-on."After the group has been formed, a name is made up and membership cards are issued to members.Events TODAY- 12:30 p.m.: "Big Store," (Marx Bros.), Lecture Hall 4, 25 cents.

In order for a person to quality for a groupfare, he must have been a member of that group for at least six months prior to the flight. Several travelagencies in Western Washington had asked CAB to.investigate International. Environmental U.N.Conference The United Nations Environmental Conference Tour sponsored by Western found Stockholm expensive, but active. Gene Miller, Dean of Huxley College and director of the tour, said that he is"amazed at the action in Stockholm. There is so much going on besides the UN conference." Milleralso said that the other participants in the conference have a great interest in the environmentalmovement of the Puget Sound area. Bill Stocklin, a Huxley faculty member, and Steven Craig, astudent, presented a multi-media show entitled " S t r a t e g i e s for Alternative Futures in the PugetSound Area of the U.S.," at an Environment Forum on June 6 and 7. The presentation, with minorchanges made to fit each community, will be shown all over the Puget Sound area next year. The 30-member group has had an opportunity to meet and talk with Senator Magnuson, anthropologist Margaret Mead, and environmentalist Barry Commoner. Miller called the Conference, " a n ideal platform to d i s s e m i n a t e news about Huxley." The group , is now on its way to Vienna after spending a few daysin Prague where the Czech oslo vakian Minister of Forestry and Water Conservation had arranged toursof ecological areas of interest. Manfred Vernon, a Huxley faculty member, is the assistant in charge ofthe trip. He has also been attending the regular United Nations sessions.

There is a strong possibility that the bill will be amended before it is passed to the House forfinal approval. Informed sources claim that the Senators might retain the part of the bill that would raise the tuition level, but would leave the exact amount in the hands of educators.

SENATE BILL 552; if -passed unamended, would boosttuitions in the three state colleges to $88 per quarter for in-state students and to $157 per quarter forout-of-state students. Thursday afternoon, as The Collegian was going to press, the Senate starteddiscussing the general college appropriations. Western has asked for a 5 per cent increase in facultyand staff salaries for two consecutive years. But the Senate Appropriations Committee decidedWednesday that that was too much and cut the raises, in half. . It looks like the Senate committee may rescind their decision— marking another victory for the • College. Western's over-all budgethas been on the chopping block for most of the 39th Legislature and it looks like the tables could beturning.

In Second Peace Protest Marchers Hit Pavement TomorrowThe local peace m a r c h e rs will be on the road again tomorrow staging a large " p r o t e s t walk'*downtown denouncing the U.S. stand in Viet Nam. According to organizers, the march will be todemonstrate for cease fire negotiations and protest "dirty war" policies. They emphasize that the marchisn't designed to challenge local authorities. This time the march is being sponsored by the AmericanFriends Service Committee, a Quaker peace-loving organization. They will be aided by a BellinghamEaster Peace Witness Committee and the campus chapter of the Student Non-Vio- 1 e n tCoordinating Committee (SNCC). THE FRIENDS notified Bellingham Police Chief Cecil Klein andMayor John Westford of the time and route of the peace march, in compliance with a city regulation.The march will begin at 12:30 p. m. tomorrow on the sidewalk on Indian Street between Myrtle andLaurel and the trek will end at the Federal Building with a 15-minute "silent vigil." The marchers plan towalk down Holly and Cornwall. Last February, 47 marchers, including many Western students, werearrested by local police for a similar demonstration. Charges were dropped after two of the leaders,were acquitted of parading without a permit .in court last month. SATURDAY'S MARCH isexpected to be larger though, as' many students from colleges and universities in other parts of thestate will be participating. . Local " coordinator for the march is Dr. Fred Ellis of Western's faculty.Late last week several student organizers of the march approached the Public Affairs Commissionon campus seeking support of the march and asking permission to start the march in front of theViking Union. About all they were given was a vague resolution stating that the PAC went on record assupporting the right of any group to march in a peaceful manner, regardless of purpose. Students at the University of Oregon at Eugene have scheduled a similar demonstration April 23 also protestingthe U. S.

Western may be in for a$4,000,- 000 chunk of the capital construction budget, arid, the likelihood of a fee increase islessening. The $117,000,000 capital construction budget has passed both houses of the Legislatureand is how in the Senate for amendment. This appropriation would leap to almost $5,000,000 as thefed^ •eral government would add $750,- 000 to the state's appropriation if plans for the science-mathcomputer annex are okayed. WESTERN'S PRESD3ENT,. Dr. Harvey Bunke, said that it appearsWestern will get the funds fpr the $2.4 million science-math computer annex one way or another. Inaddition there will be money for land expansion, utilities modernization, and an education-psychologyaddition to the campus school. The money for the addition to the campus school and the librarymay have to come from a referendum which the Legislature would submit to the people for approval.

"We feel theASSU officers failed to serve the best interest of the Associated Students in their handling of the publicrelations fund, and in stifling free discussion about it," a Spectator editorial run last Friday said.THE NEWSPAPER did, however, disclose that the credit cards have been used 19 times amountingto over $300 during the past four months, despite Toner's claim that the cards have only been used sixtimes. Toner, on one occasion, signed the tab for $71.67 for what he said was an election-night dinner for the outgoing and incoming ASSU officers. Further information was withheld on the matter, which Dono-hue has termed a "disciplinary matter." Although The Spectator had already obtained a fullrecord of the credit card transactions, the student officers followed the advice of the dean of men tokeep the entire matter a secret from The Spectator, the editorial explained. "We feel that tne ASSUshould rallow free access to its books," , the editorial continued. "The dean of men has effectivelydestroyed the political organization of the ASSU and has taken "control himself."

Well, members of the Chucka-nutSports Car Club learned all about them at their meeting at Import Motors last Monday night. JackMulhern Jr., active member of the non-college sponsored club, described the sports car rally like this: "The idea of a rally isn't to see how fast you can go nor how far. Rather, you drive over a coursefollowing a set of printed directions." Mulhern added that the object is to cover the course close to thepredicted time of arrival. And that's just what the club members did. THE RALLY IS something like a"Milton and Bradley" board game, only the board used by the club is 30 miles of paved highway. Thedriver is accompanied by a navigator who reads the instructions enroute on the course—the rally is agood date function, so the driver may choose his own navigator. If it happens that the driver doesn't win,he can always add Sehome Hill to the list of checkpoints. The Chuckanut Club awards trophies to rallywinners and a small entrance fee is collected.

Excavation inpreparation for the laying of the foundation will begin this week, with student workers on the job. Theone-story structure will have room for storing approximately 24 boats and canoes as well as providingadditional storage space for tools kept out there for maintenance. Columbia Valley Lumber Co. ofBellingham is doing the pre-fabrication of the building. The pre-made pieces will then be shipped by truck to the construction site and assembled by student laborers under the supervision of aprofessional construction foreman. At first, the solons hasseled over whether or not students shoulddo the tactual assembly of the boathouse or not. Executive Vice President Dean Foster said that he feltthe job of assembling the boathouse could be done better by a crew of professional carpenters. Foster added that by haying j professionals do the job, the. student body would be guaranteed qualityworkmanship. Dan Gullickson, facilities coordinator, said that all of the students that were to work onthe project had had construction experience. THE SOLONS decided to okay the plans, but directedProgram Vice President Tony Tihsley to report back Monday on whether or not a professional crew could do the job. In other legislative action, the solons sent a proposed amendment to the by-laws of theAS Constitution to the Constitutional Revisions Committee. The amendment, submitted by LegislatorClark Drummond, would make it mandatory for all executive officers elected winter quarter to attendschool as full-time students the spring quarter following their election. The amendment would becomeeffective next year.

The College Re-naming Committee has been dumped: After several weeks of seeking names to re-name Western,the committee realized that most students on campus favored the same name. A big hubbub arose lastquarter when several College officials stated that they would like to give Western a new, short anddistinctive name. There are 17 Westerns in the United States. The Collegian suggested "San Juan State College" to get the Play Rehearsals Now Underway Rehearsals are under way for the SpeechDepartment's forthcoming production^ "Juno and the Paycock," by Sean O'Casey to be run April 29and 30 through May 1 and 2. The stage is set in the Dublin tenement slums in the early 1900's. A tragi-comedy, this play depicts Dublin during her "troubled" times. With his range of comic charactersO'Casey imports all of the contradictory elements of human nature. This production is beingdirected'by Dr. Paul Wadleigh of Western's Speech Department. Corma A. Mowrey, associatedirector of Lay Relations of the National Education Association, noted that 39 per cent of the 1963college graduates were women. This was a smaller ratio than in either 1940 or 1930.

The proportion of women earning Master's degrees was only 31 per cent in 1963, as compared to 38 per cent in 1940 and 40 per cent in 1930. As far as women earning PhD's is concerned, "we have fared still worse." The number of women earning doctorates today has more than tripled since 1930,but the number of men doing so has increased more than five-fold. Mrs. Esther Peterson, assistantUnited States Secretary of Labor and special assistant to the President for Consumer Affairs,attributed this decline to a trend towards early marriage.

Let's getsomething straight first. The Collegian supports the right of any group or individual to protest theactions of the federal government in a peaceful manner. But what in the devil is so peaceful about amarch that may have adverse effects upon Western's budget now up for crucial review in the StateLegislature? Didn't the last bunch of inconsiderate students and townspeople who marched and gotthemselves arrested Feb. 18 learn their political lesson? Obviously not, for many of them will be on thehoof again tomorrow. It is a sad truism, but the state so-lons wonder what in the heck is going on uphere when they read about students protesting this and that and getting arrested. They keep right on thinking— right into those vital committees where Western's budget is decided. After the last peacemarch, Rep. Dick Kink (D-Bellingham) told a KVOS-TV reporter how an older representativeapproached him and asked: "What are they teaching those kids up there?" :' . That statement, ofcourse, reflects upon the intelligence of that particular older legislator. Many of them, exclud-a pat on the back It's not very often that we take editorial space in The Collegian to pat someone on theback—maybe not often enough. But if any one single group on campus deserves the backslap thisweek, it's Hui O' Hawaii, Western's Hawaiian Club. . * The club members, all natives of the Islands,brought a touch of Hawaii to the campus last weekend and it was a show that will take some time tosurpass. Friday's Saga luau and native dances coupled with Saturday night's Junior Prom setting were no simple tasks thrown together at the last minute. legislator. Many of them, excluding don't knowthe score. But the fact remains, they decide our budget and that's what counts. It is very plain to see,judging from the letters sent to the editor of The Bellingham Herald following that last march, that manytownspeople are wondering a little too. : Let's face it, Bellinghamers don't always appreciate theCollege students .—so strike two against the marchers. The Bellingham Police Department —despitewhat the chief may tell the local press — doesn't care much for marches either and in a way we can'tblame them. It causes unnecessary work for them. But, on the other hand, the local gendarmes withtheir riot helmets, had no business arresting those 47 marchers -r-no matter what their cause. A court of law brought that fact to light. The organizers of tomorrow's march insist that it wasn't planned to test the : local law—but despite all the small talk, that's exactly what they'll be doing. So the cards arestacked against the marchers and they will have to play their own hands. By the way, gang, the StateLegislature is still in session and Western's budget isn't free and clear yet. So go ahead and exerciseyour freedom tomorrow.—John Stolpe. The transplanted Islanders wrote home for weeks organizingthe mass shipment of tropical foods and flowers to set the scenes. Many parents of club members spent long hours working on the project with the only gratification of knowing that some college students onthe mainland would have a good time. Hui O' Hawaii President Theresa (Terry) Waiholua and the entireclub along with Saga are to be congratulated for their fine efforts last weekend and we hope that otherorganizers of college events will for the precedent they have so well set. today's fish wrapper . . .First-hand reports from student, faculty and administration readers of The Collegian's new format undernew management has been encouraging.

Now is the time for the guys in Highland to pick up the ball andpersuade her to advise a dorm newspaper. We can always use the competition. The Open Forumcolumn, which appears on the next page, has been well received and we hope to keep it filled withcontroversy. Miss Yvonne Dinish, a Negro student here on campus, dis^ cusses racial discrimination ona local basis in today's issue.

When SNCC marches on April17 it .will be representing the WesterjT students.

Garden and Holly I OPEN FORUM | By YVONNE DINISH (ED NOTE: Miss Dinish, a Negro student at Western, was invited to write this column. Her comments are her own.) Racial discrimination is adisease that is endemic to human beings in general. So many people say, "Now, you don't really thinkthat there is racial discrimination in Washington, do you?" I presume I am supposed to answer, "Well, ofcourse not," in which case I would display the same hypocrisy that the astute questioner displayed. Thisis a question that if answered truthfully would lead to heated arguments. But I maintain that there is,without any doubt, discrimination of the most nauseating type in Washington. How can I maintainotherwise when I go to rent an apartment in the central area of Seattle and am told that the managerdoesn't "rent to Negros"; or when I am walking down a Bellingham street, and some woman speaks tome and continues the conversation by saying that she thinks it is nice for you "poor, colored people" tobe allowed to go to school with the whites but that we should be careful; or when at a Bellingham churchmeeting a man (young man) says that those Negroes shouldn't demand too much at once because there is danger of antagonizing the whites; or when I call an organized house to ask if. there is a vacancy andam told yes, and the lady suddenly decides that there isn't any when she sees me (the "Vacancy" signis still in the window). There is discrimination in this beautiful state and there is discrimination in. thiscity. Perhaps you say that ihe Negro is too sensitive. Some people are sensitive about their weight if theyhave been teased constantly about it. Negroes are sensitive about their Negroness because we havebeen kicked and spat upon because of it. It holds that the Negro should be sensitive because it is through this sensitivity that he develops an acute sense of the injustice done to him which is necessary to fightfor what has always been his.

T h e K l a n had been disbanded around 1865, b ut it was reorganized by William J. Simmons, in A t l a n t a , Ga., on Oct. 16, 1915. The ceremony took place on a hill outside the city during the night underthe light of a burning torch. Simmons said that the brare klansmen withstood the freezing coldtemperature and blasting Winds to take the initiation rites. Actually the temperature was around 45degrees as the New York World reported after consulting the weather report for that date. THE FIRSTmembers of the "New Klan" were actually old members of the defunct KKK. The Klan changed its aimfrom that of checking the government to. one of nativism. In other words they stood for red-blooded amer-icanism, protestantism, white supremacy in the United States and the world, free enterprise andcapitalism. The Klan was against Roman Catholics, Jews, Communists, Japanese, as well as Negroes. They feared conspiracies hatched by these people to overtake the U.S., conpsiracies that nevermaterialized at that time. They did not like the Catholics because they had the Pope in Romeoverseeing them. They did not like the Japanese because the Klan thought they were trying to overrunthe Pacific Coast. This was brought about by the great "Flowers of Qualty" I. V.

In the South there still was the Negro to be looked after.ONE OF the favorite ways the Klan took care of people who were in opposition to them was by whippingthem, a practice of the old Klan. The old Klan did this in earnest because they had been aroused by the injustice and misrule of the carpetbagger. Sometimes whipping of people in the 1920's was done for the sport of the Klan "strong men" just to get some kicks. The Klan spread from the South into the West,and North due to the diverse attitudes that they held. For instance, they gained a foothold in Oregon,and even had a law passed which prohibited people from sending their children to private schools.This law was a direct slam at the schools run by the Catholic Church. In the South, where the Klan stillhad the greatest following, the Klan sometimes managed to control the politics of a state. AN EXAMPLE of this was an election held in Texas. For the election of a senator, there were six candidates who hadfiled for the position. Three of these people were members of the KKK. The Klan held a primaryconvention at which time they decided which of the three Klansmen they would support for theelection. Once they had made their decision, they threw all their support behind this one candidate. Asa result of this action, their candidate won the election by 120,000 votes. This is about the figure thatrepresented the number of KKK members in the state. The Klan did not have as large a following inthe large industrialized cities of the North. This was summed up by an article in a Chicago newspaper which said: "The general attitude of the community is one of hostility because of the large existenceof foreigners and the number of Catholics in the city." The objection the Klan had against the foreignerswas brought about by the flood of immigrants into the country at this time. This was particularly broughtabout by the third large immigration flow into the country during 1894. THE RELIGION of all theseimmigrants of this period was mainly Catholic. These new votes were sought after by the politicians ofthe day so the Klan derived from this fact that the Pope in Rome controlled the elections of theUnited States. This is what the Klan pushed to its members in the North, and they pushed similardoctrines in the West as well. NEXT WEEK: The KKK of Today.

While this may not betrue of all the administrators, it is true of the smoke detection system. Smoke generated from anoverheating elevator motor forced the evacuation of Old Main on April 5. But it was not strong enough totrip the alarm system that activates closure of the fire safety doors. The smoke originated in thebasement of the elevator shaft and spread upwards spilling into the first and fourth floors as the elevator doors opened. "The motor overheated. As it did so, it gave off a strong odor, but very little smoke. Andit only did this while the elevator was in use," said Peter Harris, director of the physical plant. "I savedOld Main," joked Anne Eskridge, assistant director of Residence Life. She smelled smoke on the firstfloor while waiting to use the elevator. Shortly How safe is Western? Part one of a three-part series after 3 p.m., Eskridge ran into the Testing Center to call 911 and instructed Tristan Hughes, art employee ofthe Testing Center, to pull a fire alarm. Harris said the smoke detectors might have been state-of-the-art when they were installed 20 years ago, but are much less sensitive than today's newerdetectors. The way the smoke was emitted intermittently, in combination with the old smokedetectors,, caused the safety doors to remain open. "Obviously we are not happy with the sensitivityof the smoke detectors. If we were, we wouldn' t have spent $390,000 for an upgrade (proposal) for Old Main and the Performing Arts Center," Harris said. "We hope the Board of Trustees will award thecontract next week (April 14). That's pretty timely, but we didn't plan it that Front/Steve DunkelbergerFiremen rush up the stairs of Old Main to bring a multitude of fans to ventilate the smoke. way. ... We'veknown for some time we' ve wanted to put in a new alarm system," Harris said. Thin wisps of smokestreaming from the top of the elevator shaft on the southern end of the 95-year-old administrationbuilding caused the Bellingham Fire Department to bring in several ventilation fans. Old Main workerswere kept away from their offices for almost an hour. Workers and students milled around outside whilefire crews ventilated the building. The accumulation of smoke coincided with the flux of students going to and from their classes around 3 p.m. Two Western maintenance workers were stuck in amechanical room on the fifth floor during the evacuation. See Fire, page 3 Changing lives for Masoninhabitants Education By Hilary Parker Front reporter Two months after the arson fire in Bellingham'shistoric Mason building, steps are being taken to try the two arson suspects — and the building'sformer occupants are working to get their businesses back up to speed. The Jan. 28 arson gutted the upper floor of the 86-year-old Mason building and heavily damaged the ground floor. The fire displacedNorthwest Youth Services, Aladdin's Antiques, Allen Signs Horn Shop and Northern Sales. Twoteens, 17 and 14-years-old, were arrested as suspects in the arson case, and in connection with a crime spree in the downtown area. Recently, the younger boy pleaded guilty to the charges and wasreturned to his residence in Snohomish County for hearings, said Gary Wood, Whatcom County Juvenile Court director. The 17-year-old is waiting for his deposition hearing on April Front/Vanassa BlackburnNo longer home to the many businesses which it used to house the Mason building is now a boarded uphulk. 11. This hearing will determine whether the juvenile will be tried as an adult. The businesseshoused in the Mason Building are making headway after the fire. Northwest Youth Services occupiedthe upper floor of the building and lost hundreds of files in the fire. "It's very slow," said ExecutiveDirector Michael Tyers, in regard to replacing the files. "Many will have to be replaced over time. We'velost more than 20 years of business history." Tyers estimated the fire did $90,000 to $100,000 worth ofdamage to the office. Aladdin's Antiques owner Walter Robinson said he doesn't have an exact figure forhis losses but that the damage done is not just in dollars and cents. "I don't have a real solid number," he said. "In physical things — inventory, display and supplies — I'd say $20,000. Plus being out ofwork for a couple of months." At the moment, Robinson is working to open his new shop in thebasement of the Old Town Antique Mall in May. This new site will be permanent for the shop. Another permanent change will be the absence of Northern Sales in Bellingham. The surplus store will rely onits Mount Vernon location, and losses are estimated to be in the seven-figure range. revamped by 2000 By Michele Anderson Front reporter Imagine walking into an accounting class and hearing theprofessor say you will be doing Bill Gates' taxes instead of a lecture. The professor says Mr. Gateswants to pay as little as possible. Would you know what to do? This is just one example of a growingmovement to make education more applicable to real-life situations. Western Washington University will examine several progressive teaching methods in an upcoming conference on April 30,including performance-based education, alternative assessment methods, the role of teachers, parentsand the community in the new methods and multiculturalism.

Front/Vanessa Blackburn A mob made of amyriad of administrators and other workers gathered outside the building while the smoke was dispersed. Innovative teaching to be used statewide Learning, Continued from page 1 The conference,"Transforming Public Education: Exploring the Possibilities and Challenges of Student-CenteredLearning," is the brainchild of Tyee Bridge of Western's LINK program, an educational outreach programactive in Bellingham's public schools, and James Sealander, a Fairhaven student interested inalternative teaching methods. The conference is co-sponsored by LINK, Fairhaven College,Woodring College of Education and the Student Washington Education Association. "There are a lot of new things going on now in education that aren't traditional. The best way to have them provethemselves is by talking about them. We want to start building bridges (between new and traditionalmethods)," Bridge said. "We want to evaluate students based on real things they can do related to reallife skills, like filling out a tax form to judge math skills," Bridge said. The conference will be a learning experience for everyone, Bridge and Sealander said. "A lot of these things we still don't know about. The purpose of this conference is to explore some of these ideas," Sealander said. "This is a big one —Washington state is supposed to be compl etely performance-based by the year 2000," Sealandersaid. Most of the new methods are different from current teaching methods. "The student is veryinvolved. Education is centered around the students personal needs. They are not going through aprocess; they are the process," Sealander said. Performance-based education often utilizes analternative assessment method called portfolio evaluations. "It's alternative in that you don't usegrades most of the time," Bridge said. Portfolio evaluations can help students become more involved."It's a self-evaluation. Students compile portfolios where they describe their own progress and howthey feel about what they've done," Sealander said. The role of teachers will also differ from their currentroles. "We want to find out, will the teacher be the authoritarian or a student themselves? A 'let's learntogether' rather than leader and the led," Sealander said. "This is a very, very sensitive subject toteachers, and it will be discussed," Sealander said. "The world is no longer homogenous. I'm hoping itwill be an all pervading thread in every subject," Sealander said. "Alternative assessment methodsaddress the problem of a multicultural society and the different learning styles of each culture anddifferent cultural approaches to education," Bridge said. Sealander said these types of reforms arealready in place in several local areas, including Seattle and Bellingham. The Wellspring School inFairhaven, and its co-director Bill Snow will give a presentation. Additional speakers include Jeff Baglio,a teacher from Whatcom Middle School, who will give apresentation on service-learning. "Service-learning is an educational approach. For example, students might build a wheelchair ramp to learnmath and community service. They learn they have a needed, wanted role in society," Bridge said.Wendy Borton of Seattle's Room Nine program, which is already established in the public schoolsystem, will also speak. Her presentation will focus on the advantages of student choice, active learningand parental involvement. The conference will be Saturday, April 30 in the Viking Addition CoffeeShop. There is no charge for the conference and it is open to the public. There are limited seats, sothose interested are encouraged to call by April 15 to reserve a seat.

Rural folks want own county By BeverlyCrichf ield and Mary-Belton Scurry Front reporters Hopping the wagon train of anti-governmentsentiment rolling across Washington State, the Pioneer County Committee continues to rally forsupport in their quest for secession from Whatcom County. The group needs 5,136 more signatures forits petition to the state legislature. Complaining of too many government regulations and restrictions concerning land-use, Pioneer County Committee members say they are seeking local control of thegovernment in order to meet the needs of rural citizens. The Growth Management Act of Washingtonrequires county planning departments follow its basic guidelines in constructing comprehensive plansand development regulations. While the Whatcom County planning department did have meetings onits proposed plan, "it seems like the planners weren't conscious of the needs of the rural community,"Howard Andreason, chairman of the Pioneer County Committee said. The main source of agitationamong rural folk is the land-disturbance regulations, which require permits for any soil disturbance, including filling, excavation, or soil removal by machinery heavier than 2,000 pounds on a parcel ofland. Originally proposed for the Whatcom County Watershed in order to avoid erosion and waterrun-off by excessive disturbance of soil, the regulations have been interpreted by the countygovernment too broadly and are applied to small details, Andreason said. "I can't even go out and dig apost-hole with an auger on the back of my tractor without a permit," he said. "I've got trees on myproperty I'd like to cut for firewood, but even if they've fallen down, I have to get a permit." All of this,according to the Pioneer County Committee members, is in violation of the U.S. Constitution, whichstates in the Fifth Amendment, "... Nor shall private property be taken for public use without justcompensation." Committee members say these regulations take away their rights to develop theirland, and reduce the worth of their land by zoning parts of it as critical areas, which are areas that, ifdisturbed, could endanger different aspects of the environment Although the Washington GrowthManagement Act requires counties to follow its regulations, counties not exceeding 50,000 people areexempt. The population of theproposed county would not exceed that defined number, Andreasonsaid, and would be able to avoid many of these guidelines. "The county is putting restrictions onpeople using their land in areas they define as wetlands," said Blanche Ryer, Pioneer County supporterand gatherer of the secession petitions. "Some people have spent lots of money trying to prove their land isn't a wetland area." Ryer said many of the citizens of the proposed Pioneer County area havecomplained Whatcom County inspectors are not consistent in their assessments of people's land.Some inspectors, she said, tell land-owners what they should and shouldn' t do with their land, whileother inspectors come back later and contradict the previous assessments. With these concerns anddissatisfactions, the people of Pioneer County are working to gain a majority of signatures neededfrom the 15,000 registered voters in the proposed area. If formed, the county will encompass the areawest of the Guide Meridian to the coast and north of the Slater Road to the Canadian border. ThePioneer County Committee has drawn up a plan for its proposed county government, which includesthe election of three county commissioners who will oversee its regulations and other governmentactivities. Andreason claims the assessed value of Pioneer County's land, improvements, andpersonal property comes to $2,000,980,892 — or 30 percent of the Whatcom County tax base. Theamount would yield between $22 and $27 million in taxes for Pioneer County. The PioneerCountyCommittee study also found it would receive 24 percent, or about $25 million, of the $103,460,918million in state-collected revenues annually distributed back to Whatcom County. This would make an adequate financial base for the 24 percent of Whatcom County residents who reside in the proposedPioneer County, Andreason said. The new Pioneer County would envelop the current Whatcom Countybuildings and the airport. These would remain the property of Whatcom County with a proportion of theirvalue being paid to the Pioneer County. "We would have enough money to maintain the roads — weknow we can handle that," Ryer said. "Then decisions will be made as to whether the people want lowertaxes or more public services." Daniel Warner, former chairman of the Whatcom County Council saidthe Pioneer County Committee "is living in the nineteenth century." If they secede, they will run intothe same number of problems they have now," he said. "Setting up and running a government isextremely expensive, and they won't be able to provide some of the services the government requires." Warner said he doesn't believe the county council did a good job of communicating its need for acritical-land ordinance or explaining how the ordinance should be interpreted. He said the WhatcomCounty Council was "insensitive to the people's needs." "However, most of these people... tuned in atthe eleventh hour to give their concerns," he said. "Had they been involved since the beginning, it wouldhave been a different matter."

By Rich Boyer Front reporter "Sweaty what?!" Sweaty Nipples, and it's not a Freudian slip. It's thename of one of the wildest, funniest and hardest-working bands poised on the verge of musical worlddomination. Since their inception, the Nipples have worked feverishly to assault listeners' sanity with anaural battery of musical damage. The band is Davey Nipples, Scott Heard, Dave Merrick, Brian Lehfeldt, Ryan Moore and Hans Wagner. Each plays one main instrument both on stage and in the studio, butthey variably sing and play each others' bass, guitars, keyboards, drums, piccolo, bass and percussion,creating a variety of playing techniques and styles. Together they represent a culmination of hard work,riotous humor and an ability to mutate traditional sounds into hard and funky new forms. Speedy O'Tubbs played host to the Sweaty onslaught on April Fools' Day, and those gathered were treated to theNipples at their sweatiest. Through billowing smoke and mesmerizing strobe lights, Sweaty Nipplesemerged to the theme from "Star Wars," and proceeded to play with so much energy people's hair stood high with static and ^ecstatic disbelief. It was a riot without the looting. They only stopped playing toquickly switch instruments and occasionally hoist a huge plastic jack-o' -lantern into the air, inspiringawe at what looked eerily like Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin. "I just go out and play really hard andrelate to the crowd," Merrick said, effectively summarizing what every member of the band did indeed dothat night. The history of the Nipples began about seven years ago in Portland, Ore., when some friends in various different bands, such as Wehrmacht and Spazztic Blurr, began hanging out after practice,jamming and writing tunes that were less serious than thoseof their respective bands. "We were youngand having just some great times switching instruments and screwing around," Merrick said. "We werelike drunk Boy Scouts." Before long, this experimentation turned into a trip to the studio where the bandrecorded their first demo tape, "Let's Get Sweaty." The songs on the tape ranged from hard-core punk to hilarious funk and rap anthems, some of which still appear in their live set today. Word of the bandtraveled fast, and their music was branded "silly-core" by Maximum Rock and Roll, a widely readunderground punk rock magazine from San Francisco. Not long after, they were back in the studio againto record what became "Straight Outta Portland," their self-released debut album. "I still get goosebumps when I listen to 'Straight Outta Portland,'" Merrick said. "Those days were such good times."Following the album's release, the band evolved from a side project into a - full-time venture. The bandtoured extensively, spreading their loco gospel to increasingly large crowds. They also began a series oflineup and instrument changes that honed their varied musical attack into their current, more stylistically focused sound. Along with this increasing focus came a growing reputation for a Northwesttrailfounderreads atVillageBooks By Dana Goodwin Front reporter Hundreds, maybe thousands ofhiking enthusiasts and nature lovers from Montana to Washington have enjoyed the beauty of the Pacific Northwest Trail (PNT). Many hikers have been awestruck by the majestic sights seen from this footand horse trail between the Continental Divide and the Pacific Ocean. What many don't know is, for themost part, they owe their PNT experience to one man — Ronald Strickland. Stricklandfoundedthe1,100- mile Pacific Northwest Trail between Glacier and Olympic National Parks. He is also theauthor of a wide variety of books, many of which are oral histories from hundreds of "old timers" indifferent areas of the country. "I believe that at its best nothing can surpass the warmth and drama ofa single voice THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TRAIL SALMC-PRIEST WILDERNESS PROPOSED TENLAKES MT.

PNT Association speaking directlyto us of the things that matter," Strickland writes in the introduction to "River Pigs and Cayuses." Thebook, as well as "Whistlepunks and Geoducks," concerns the Pacific Northwest. Strickland aims tokeep the past alive in his oral histories and to pass on the tales, legends and history as seen throughthe eyes of the pioneers of this region. Strickland will read from his work and present a slide show of the PNT at 7:30 p.m. April 8 at Village Books in Fairhaven. His reading will include excerpts from his in-progress memoir ("Pathfinders and Water Ouzels") of hiking the PNT straight through in 100 days.Strickland thought of the idea for the PNT in 1970 when he was a student at Georgetown University. "Iused to hike on the Appalachian Trail when I was in school and I thought it would be nice to have atrail like that in the Pacific Northwest," he said. Strickland and a few friends spent several summers inthe 1970s exploring prospective sites, and in 1977 formed the Pacific Northwest Trail Association. "Iwanted it to be a model on the Appalachian Trail Conference of West Virginia," Strickland said. Thefounder of that trail system, Benton MacKaye, was a mentor to Strickland. "He [MacKaye] proposed the creation of the trail system and also founded the Wilderness Society in 1935," Strickland saidStrickland and his volunteers used existing trails and roads as the basis for the PNT, but these neededlinks and some trails needed maintenance. The trail starts in Montana and hits salt water inWashington. Bellinghamis thelargestcity along the PNT. Strickland pointed out the PNT Associationhas built a new section that begins slightly north of milepost 10 on Chuckanut Drive (south of theOyster Bar Restaurant). Right now no local groups are taking responsibility for the trail in Bellingham,but Strickland said he would like to see Western students become involved with trail maintenance. "The Outdoors Club at Dartmouth College helps out with the Appalachian Trail. It would be nice to seesomething like that happen at Western," Strickland said. ---------- Western Front - 1994 April 8 - Page 7 ---------- March 8,1994 — The Western Front ACCENT • 7 (w iusly wild live show.

May be harmful if heard,"but the only harm one might sustain is becoming a slobbering addict to the sonic din of the Sweatyserenade/ Their recent tour with the Beastie Boys gave Sweaty Nipples the chance to dole out theirmusical equivalent to Jolt-Cola to thousands of people across the states. Soon they will embark on ashort tour with funk/rock gods Fishbone to propagate still more lunacy. Their debut full-length album,due out in June, was partly recorded at Bad Animals studio, which recently played host to R.E.M., AliceIn Chains, and many other well-established bands. The album will have 11 songs that promise to be ashard and sweaty, if not more so, as anything they've done to date. A tour will follow, marching theNipples up the West Coast and into Canada. From there they'll attempt to extend their conquest intoEurope. As Sweaty Nipples wrote on the back jacket of their first album, "We take joking like Fischertakes their nuts — very seriously." With the band's new album on the verge of national release, it islikely that many people will soon be taking Sweaty Nipples very seriously as well.

Russian film festival launches Western gallery exhibit By Nick Davis Front reporterEchoes of appreciation followed audience members out the doors of the Old Main Theatre April 6 afterthe showing of the Russian perestroika movie, "Adam's Rib." "Ireallyenjoyeditlwouldrecornmend this toanybody," said one woman as she grabbed a handful of brochures to pass out to her friends. TheRussian dramatic comedy was the first in a series of films and videos promoting the upcoming WesternGallery exhibit, "After Perestroika: Kitchenmaids or Stateswomen." Sarah Clark-Langager, director of the Western Gallery, said the films and videos are shown free to encourage people to see the exhibit during its run in the gallery from April 18 through June 11. "The films were especially selected because theyrepeat or emphasize many of the themes that you're going to see in the show," Clark-Langager said.Some of these themes include the negative effects on women's lives of the transition to the new free-market economy, as well as the historically traditional overwhelming domestic burdens and limitedfreedoms. "The films are small scale, domestic and richly intimate with an emphasis on individualcharacters and their relationships," Clark-Langager said. While the films portray men in a non-traditional way, it is interesting to note that all of the films were directed by men. Clark- Langager saidfemale Russian directors are hard to find. "Adam's Rib," directed in 1992 by Vyacheslab Krishtofovich,tells the story of four financially burdened women in a small apartment trying to deal with the men in their lives. The single, twice-divorced, 50-year-old mother Nina, the angelic daughter Lida and the devilish,pregnant daughter Nastiy a are all at war with their "better halves." A bedridden, silent grandmother is left to ring her service bell and observe the strange happenings in the apartment. Kristina Olson, who justvisited the former Soviet Union last year, said the movie was interesting because it accurately portrayedthe Russian lifestyle. "It really seemed to reflect the quality of life over there," Olson said. All thingsconsidered, the movie was an enjoyable and interesting look at the depressing lifestyle of someRussian people. The movie's color and tone gave the feeling of spending one's entire life stuck in themonth of February The last movie in the Russian film series shows today at 4 p.m. in the Old MainTheatre. Two Russian videos also play at 4 p.m. Monday, April 11 and Wednesday, April 13 inHumanities 109 to complement the films and upcoming exihibit. The film and videos are free. ---------- Western Front - 1994 April 8 - Page 8 ---------- 8 - OP/ED FRONTLINE^ Thought police shouldn't regulate what minors read The Citizens Alliance ofWashington strikes again. As if shoving homosexuals back into the closet via Initiative 610 isn't enough,the group wants to add public libraries to the list of sacred venues which should shun homosexuals. Notonly do these initiatives violate the rights of homosexuals, but they also deny children the right to awell-rounded education. More importantly, the intiative exterminates minors' ability to develop "minds of their own. If passed, 610 would forbid state and local governments from giving homosexuals minoritystatus, keep state schools from portraying homosexuals in a positive light and hinder adoption and foster-parenting by homosexuals couples. The new initiative, filed Tuesday, would prohibit public libraries fromallowing minors to view pornographic materials. The alliance also wants libraries to have separate sections for adult-only and erotic works. Proponents say definitions of pornography, adult-only and erotic wouldstem from an existing state law pertaining to the sale of erotic materials to minors. Sam Woodward,alliance director, says the group wouldn't want to limit minors' access to works by Mark Twain orHemingway, but it would keep "The Joy of Gay Sex" and Madonna's "Sex" from the eyes of minors.Already corrupt adults, however, would still have access to the materials. The new initiative raises a lot of questions. Specifically, would just works by homosexuals be banned, or would works with homosexualreferences also be kept from the oh-so-impressionable eyes of minors? It is a crime to suppress worksby homosexual writers, artists, photographers and sculptors. One doesn't become a homosexual byreading Randy Shilts or looking at pieces by Keith Haring. Keeping these materials from children andteens won't keep them from becoming homosexuals. Homosexuals have been around longer than thesocietal debate regarding banning books. After all, some of today's G.I. Joe-playing boy sand Barbie-primping girls will become tomorrow's homosexuals. Concealing homosexual materials from minorswould only breed fear and discrimination and turn minors into the type of people who might consideradding their signatures toward the 181,667 needed for the initiative by December. — Nicci Noteboom,Managing Editor The Western Front Editor-in-Chief, Guy Bergstrom; Managing editor, Nicci Noteboom;Associate editor/News, Eric Munson; asst.

S ingapore WMmmmrnrnm^^n^^KM- -I u rSegt;'ou MBIII HHHH ingapore should uphold it's sentence of four months in p r i s o n , $2,215fine and six lashes with a rattan stick on 18-year-old Michael Fay's bare buttocks. Fay was convicted of vandalism after he was caught spray painting cars, throwing eggs and stealing traffic signs. Fay, a UScitizen from Dayton, Ohio has filed his final appeal, but the chances of him getting acquitted are lookinggrim. Singapore is known for having strict laws. The country bans the sale of gum, fines those who don'tflush toilets, bans all forms of pornography andhangs drug traffickers. President Clinton called Fay'spunishment "extreme." Extreme by United States standards, yes, but Fay didn't commit his childishshenani-, gans in the United States, he did them in Singapore. Therefore, his punishment should be dealt with in Singapore. The United States sends criminals back to their own countries for retribution uponbeing convicted of a crime — unfortunately for Fay, Singapore doesn't have that policy. If the UnitedStates dealt with mischievous brats as harshly as Singapore, perhaps we would see a decline invandalism. Singapore sets an excellent example. It is the cleanest city in Southeast Asia: there is nograffiti, no panhandlers, the homicide rate is 24 percent and the rape rate is nine percent of that of theUnited States. The laws there may be strict, but they appear to achieve results. Americans areapplauding Fay's punishment. The Singapore Embassy is receiving daily heaps of mail giving thumbs-upto Fay's sentence. "Americans should be taking lessons from Singapore on how to prevent crime ... " aletter from Huntington Beach, California said. Rep. Tony Hall (D)-Ohio has been working in in Fay'sbehalf, but so far most people have opposed his efforts. Poor Fay, even his fellow U.S. citizens want to see his bare butt beaten. He is getting exactly what he deserves. Singapore is doing its job of fightingcrime rather than allowing people to make excuses for stupid, senseless and selfish acts of violence.Americans who choose to visit other foreign nations must abide by the laws of that nation, just as weexpect foreigners to abide by our laws. If they can't, the penalty must be faced. INtBNII to... vigorouslyapply Singapore law to the criminal's rear end," a letter in theApril5C/5A Today said. The personwho wrote this letter is obviously enamored by the idea of committing inhumane acts toward others,because Singapore's law is not only the strictest in the world, it is also one of the most flagrantlyridiculous and unjustified in the world. Singapore, however, believes in its law (or is it order that comesfirst). Unfortunately for Michael Fay, 18, of Dayton, Ohio, it's his rear end on the line, and not justfiguratively. : , Fay, charged with vandalism, criminal mischief and possession of stolen property, pleadguilty and was sentenced to perhaps the most cruel act known to man. The punishment: four months inprison, a $2,230 fine — and SIX lashes of a soaked rattan cane, delivered by a martial artist at fullforce. Fay, an American student living in Singapore, appealed the sentence but was denied, and he isexpected to seek clemency from Singapore President Ong Teng Cheong. President Clinton called thepunishment extreme. Dispite the outcries from Fay's mother and Clinton, it seems as though the ---------- Western Front - 1994 April 8 - Page 9 ---------- April 8, 1994 — The Western Front OP/ED • 9 Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, Multiculturism anddiversity issues have been common topic in The Western Front. There has been, however, very littlesubstantive debate. The editorials usually come down to racism = bad, diversity = good. I believe racism= bad, but I do not accept diversity=good is a given, or the opposite of racism. I believe that "diversity"and "multiculturalism" will only serve to continue dividing people and perpetuate racism by it's attemptto foster racial and ethnic identities.

I sympathize with a black kid who is tired of hearing about nothing butpilgrims and hardy frontiersmen and a history that glosses over slavery and racism. I think that oureducation should be broadened to include the stories of all people who call themselves Americans.When multiculturalism means this sort of inclusiveness, I am a supporter. When, however, it serves todivide Americans into racial and ethnic groups, I am a bitter opponent. It seems ironic thatmulticulturalism, which is supposed to combat racism, creates an attitude where only white peoplefeel comfortable calling themselves Americans. Multiculturalism rejects the idea of the melting pot andinstead tries to portray America as groups of racially and ethnically divided people with nothing incommon. This attitude portrays America as just some sort of corporate entity that builds roads andfacilitates commerce for groups of foreigners with no sort of collective identity. A worst-casescenario for these policies is the former Yugoslavia. That is diversity run amok. A more realistic scenario and one closer to home is Canada. The Canadians have been experimenting with diversity fordecades and it has been an abject failure. Canada's failure to create a strong national identity hasdivided the nation bitterly along English and French-speaking lines and Canada is on the verge ofbreaking apart. Abraham Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself can not stand." The Austro-Hungarian empire (out of a part of which comes Yugoslavia) was called a melting pot over a cold fire. Ibelieve thatmulticulturalism will turn down the heat of the American melting pot. I grew up believing inthe American dream. I don't mean two cars in every garage, I mean that America is a land where allpeoples can be one and that anyone can be an American. America can and should be place where weshed the chains of race and ethnicity that keeps us apart and embrace a common identity that brings us together.

The score is 3-2 in favor of the Seattle Mariners. The "Big Unit" through bloodshot eyes stares down at the catcher's sign. He shakes off the slider. He shrugs at the curvevball sign. The catcher lays down a singular, fatfinger (the sign for the heater). A smile wrinkles Johnson's eyes and poses as a grimace under thesouthpaw's mustache. And here's the payoff pitch. Fastball swung on and missed!! The Mariners havedone it!! They are the 1994 World Series Champions! My oh my!! The above scenario, in the past, wasabout as likely to happen as a summer without rain in Seattle or the town boycotting espresso, but thisyear things may be different. We, the starving baseball fans in the Northwest, can afford to dream alittle with the talent this team has amassed. As a matter of fact, many, including Mariners' manager LouPiniella, are picking the M's to come out on top this year. The first day of spring training, Piniellacalled a team meeting and talked to them about winning a title. "It's our time," Piniella told the club. The campaign of '94 is promising for several reasons. First of all, re-alignment has gracefully landedthe Mariners in the weakest division in baseball, the American League West. Perennial Mariner-Jtillers, the Chicago White-Sox, are out of the division, clearing the way for the Mariners to ascend tothe top. Along with the M's, the AL West will include the Texas Rangers, Oakland Athletics, andCalifornia Angels. The Rangers will prove to be the stiffest competition. They have a potent offense,with the likes of Will Clark, Juan Gonzalez ('93 home-run leader), Jose Canseco and Ivan Rodriguez.However, without a strong starting pitching rotation (unless Canseco worked on his forkball over the off-season), the M's should prevail. During the winter, the M's were baseball's busiest team. With themoney saved from losing free-agent catcher Dave Valle to the Boston Red Sox, the M's were able topick up a quality fourth starter in Greg Hibbard. They also acquired Bobby Ayala, the projected closer, and Dan Wilson, Valle's replacement behind the plate, in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds that sentEric Hanson's inconsistent arm and Bret Boone's alleged home-run swing packing. Also, M'smanagement pulled a coup by dealing injury- and strikeout-prone Mike Felder to the Houston Astros forEric Anthony, a young, skilled outfielder. The M's starting rotation will be the strongest in the divisionwith the addition of Hibbard and the trio of Johnson, Chris Bosio and Dave Fleming. With a healthy Edgar Martinez, the immortal Ken Griffey Jr., "bad-to-the-bone" Jay Buhner, and the talented Tino Martinez,the M's pack more offensive punch than a triple mocha. Look for Lou's Crew to win 90 games and take the division. As far as being World Series Champions, hey we finally have good reason to dream.Variety of intramurals offered spring quarter By James Song Front reporter The selection may be thesame, but access to one of spring's most popular intramural sports is limited this year.

Community Events ---------- Western Front - 1994 April 8 - Page 11 ---------- April 8,1994 — The Western Front SPORTS• 11 Intensity, dedication key to crew's successMfllRffiHp PiilliliiiijWiii By Amy Howat Asst. Sports editor The Western men's crew team may not havethe turnout or monetary support that other varsity sports do, but they still have two magic ingredients:dedication and intensity. T h e team has persevered through 6 a.m. workouts on L a k e Samishsix days a week since last fall. Like fabled U.S. Postal workers, neither rain, sleet nor snow can stopthese athletes from getting in their two-a-day workouts. After six months of intense training, theVikings are finally looking forward to the spring racing season. The crew opened their season with anear sweep of Washington State University by winning the varsity and novice- 8s, the varsity andlightweight-4s and taking second in the novic4. This sparkling start is cheering, considering the trials the Vikings have gone through this year. The crew had to adjust to the new style of first-year headcoach Tim Vekved. Over the winter half of the men dropped out of the program, leaving the coaches asmaller well of talent from which to draw. The 19 men that remain on the team, particularly in the varsityboat, are a tight-knit group that have years of experience rowing together. In this sport, experience, unity and power are key factors in developing a fast boat. "Boat speed is a factor of two things: power andthe efficient application of that power," Vekved said. "We spend about 50 percent of our time analyzingtechnique, making sure every one's doing the same, unified mechanical motions." Most of the men whoenter the program at Western are newcomers to the sport and need four to five months of techniquetraining before they become efficient in a boat. Those who struggle through the brutal workouts anddevelop the precision movements of rowing technique are finally bitten by the rowing bug when all therowers in a boat finally achieve perfect unison. "It's a tremendous feeling of euphoria when a boat isgoing, all oars are entering the water at the same time and every one's in unison. It's veryaddictive," Vekved said. Unlike other sports, it's nearly Front/Matt Wuscher The men's novice crew boatprepares for another 6 a.m. practice on Lake Samish. The team defeated Washington State University infour out of five races April 2. impossible to single out one or two athletes as standouts on the teambecause all the rowers in a boat are supposed to be identical in form and power. "That's the magic partof the sport — there's no superstar," Vekvedsaid. "Ifyou'reastandout, you're doing something wrong."The strongest teams in the sport are those with years of experience rowing together. Western hopesto bring in new recruits next year, as the next generation of Viking rowers. "That's how you becomefast," Brian Bosworth, coach of the novice boat, said. "You train guys as freshmen and bring them all the way through the four-year program together." The Vikings compete in the San Diego Classic on Fridayand Saturday, April 9 and 10. •liiilli^Bi ^•••iBliiii ^IMHiSlliB tfMHIBMlilil tfliltiillllllifcWBBBBmmEBm WESTERN FRONT CLASSIFIEDS 1111111111111 Downhill skisboots 159—or best offer 671-0657 SEWING MACHINE 59.00 671- 0657 HELP WANTED CAMP STAFF NEEDED.LOOKING FOR A SUMMER JOB THAT WILL BE OUTDOORS, FUN AND A POSITIVE IMPACT ONKIDS?

I had been on the little sound steamboat about three hours when the captain came to me and said tha* I was near my destination— Bloch's Beach, the place where I had decided to spend a few weeks of my vacation. The steamer stopped and I was landed, bag and bag­gage, on a tipsy wet float. A small lad with a rowboat was waiting to convey me to the shore. My boarding place stood on the top of a high bluff and the large porch and shade trees around it suggested a very restful retreat, but before I had time to look about me, I was greeted and welcomed by my august landlady. She pre­sented a most unique appearance. Her cos­tume, which consisted of a loose, low-necked, short-sleeved jacket, a short, cotton skirt, large heavy boots and an enormous hat, showed that she had decided opinions about the dress sub­ject. Frau Bloch was of a large, masculine build and her brown, wrinkled face told of out­door life. Like the old house in which she dwelt, my landlady was weather-beaten, but un­like it she was not dilapidated, for she was the picture of contentment, vigor and health. But as soon as she spoke to me in her pure English words and German accent, I knew that I was in the presence of no common country-bred wo­man. Nothing pleased the dear, old soul more than to have her boarders sit on the large veranda and listen to the history of her life, when she told in detail of her wealthy parents in Ger­many, about her college education and how, at an early age she had set out into the world, trav­eling with wealthy families as governess. In later years she had taught German and French in some university, and now, with her third ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [9] ---------- husband she had come to the west ejecting to rebuild her fortunes, through the great finan­cial ability of Mr. Bloch. With great confi­dence in the schemes of her husband, she still awaits her fortune and lives contentedly on the ranch, talking French, German, Spanish and Italian to her ducks and goats. From the stand­point of an epicurean, I did not term this a de­sirable boarding house, but the interesting stories of the landlady, the beautiful views from the veranda and a sea-shore appetite, ex­cellently covered up all deficiencies in cooking, for Mrs. Bloch rather prided herself in not be­ing able to do housework, "for," said she, "I never have been accustomed to it." One day Mrs. Bloch and myself started out in her leaky row boat for Little Man's Island, which, Mrs. Bloch informed me was of great interest, because there were several Indian graves there. Situated, as it was, in the middle of the narrow channel and set around on either side by the shadows of the dark fir trees on the opposite shores, the little island appeared float­ing gracefully on the placid waters of the Sound. A steep strand led from the dark green depths of the water to the wooded part of the island, which was topped with fringes of ever­greens, madrones and huckleberry bushes; while here and there the bleached skeletons of trees covered with twining blackberry and the beautiful foliage of the poison ivy, had fallen over the bank. Beyond this, in the center of the island and towering high in air, stood the odl, rough-barked firs, with their knotted limbs and moss-covered trunks, while underfoot the salal berry and Oregon grape grew in profu­sion. In the midst of the noble firs we found four graves, marked by wooden stakes, but showing signs of desecration. Mrs. Bloch explained to me that it was the custom of the Indians to bury with each of their dead all of his posses­sions, sometimes, only trinkets, but at other times his pony, dog, gun, ammunition, food and clothing, that he might be well provided for in his journey to the "Happy Hunting Grounds". Notwithstanding the fact that this is a religious ceremony with the Indians, the ruthless white man, in his search for relics, has not hesitated to open these graves and take what he might find of value to him. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [10] ---------- It seemed to me, while looking on these graves in the midst of the beauties of nature, that the stolid Indian must have some sense of the beutiful, for the lonely island seemed well fitted for the resting place of the braves, and it did not require the hooting of the white owl overhead just then, to impress me with a deep sense of awe. We retraced our steps to the boat and on the way home Mrs. Bloch told me that most people were very enthusiastic over these graves and relics, and as the original trinkets and beads had all been taken long ago, she had seen no harm in scattering some other beads in their place. This she told me as a great secret and said that it was a great attraction for her board­ers and for people from the east. While staying here, I wondered how such people as Mrs. Bloch and family could be ax gt; contented with their, lonely life and few attrac­tions, for as Mrs. Bloch herself expressed it, "the only pleasure in life that we have is to see the boat come in." I asked her once if she did not find it lone some in the winter time. "Ach, no," she said, "we are people of resources, we have our books and we have always the beau­tiful scenery to look at. The Alps that you hear so much about are no greater," she de­clared, from experience, and, in truth, it was a noble scene, composed of the grand old mount­ain and supplemented by the beautiful waters and wooded islands of Puget Sound. Necessity compelled me to leave this charm­ing place and to say farewell to my new ac­quaintances, and I was loath to do so, but I cherish a hope that I may sometime have an opportunity to test my resources by an extend­ed stay in such a place. A COLONIAL THANKSGIVING. With a light step Elzeth climbed the hill back of the harbor and gazed out over the broad Atlantic. Below in the harbor she saw the little ship that was to carry her back to the dear ones in the homeland. Very tiny it looked from^the elevation and the men and women of the little Puritan settlement, who were gather^ ed on the shore, looked like pigmies mimicing the actions of humans. The day was cloudy, and far "away over the ocean great clouds of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [11] ---------- pearl-gray mist hovered above like a farewell ' benediction. After all, Elzeth loved this stem, rough coast which was being won from the forest by the struggles, privations and even the deaths of the sturdy group who faced its perils, and yet she was going back because her own people were across the ocean and the uncle and aunt with whom she had made her home ' were lying in unmarked graves in the little church yard. A few minutes more and the little craft would lift anchor and slip slowly away over the gray waters until naught but a black speck could be seen, and finally that too would vanish. Elzeth roused herself suddenly, realizing that she must hurry if she were to be aboard in time. With quick steps she ran down the rough path and when within a quarter of a mile of the wharf she paused to take a last look at the hill behind her just breaking into the green of spring. With her head still turned toward the hill, she started forward, slipped and fell. A sharp pain shot through her ankle. When she tried to rise a sharp cry burst from her lips and she sank back helpless. For a time she lay quietly calling every little while for help, but at last a full knowledge of her helplessness and disappointment came to her, and she found relief in long drawn sobs. It seemed to her that-she had been there for hours, when she heard steps not far away, and called loudly for help. The steps had already turned in her direction, and in a moment Jona­than Elthon's kindly eyes and honest voice were expressing both sympathy and concern, but Elzeth was not grateful; instead, a sense of anger fought with her feeling of relief. "Has the "Sea Eoam" gone," she asked, knowing she would receive an affirmative answer and yet dreading to hear it from an­other. "Well," she said tartly, "If thou wilt be good enough to help me, I will walk home." Jonathan's expression was quizacal. "How cans't thou wolk with a sprained ankle ? I had better carry thee." "That, thou shalt not," blazed Elzeth angry for no apparent reason, "but thee may help me to walk, if thee wilt." "If thee will walk, thee hadst best walk alone,," and Jonathan cooly turned away. El- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [12] ---------- zeth watched him, furiously angry, all the more cross because she could do nothing, and must do as he said. At last she called, and in her voice , as it quavered through the air, was the resignation of despair, tragic to her. but causing the shadow of a smile to flit across Jonathan's sober face, and sorry as he was for disappointed little Elzeth, he could not resist the temptation to tease. "Was not the walking good?" he asked as he gathered her up, an angry, but unresisting bundle, and strode across the uneven ground. Elzeth would have none of it, and it was not until she lay cuddled up before the blazing'fire­place in Mrs. Elthorn's cheery room that her tongue was loosened and the story of her fall told. The spring days merged into summer, and when summer the "Sea Foam" again weighed anchor, bearing a wealth of letters and news to the little handful of settlers on the New Eng­land coast. More than this, new settlers came, and with what late crops they could plant, and with what the other settlers had, there was a great abundance, and with the abundance of all necessary things a spirit of cheer that, in spite of some discomforts, made the little colony a goodly place in which to dwell. Elzeth, who had laid her plans to return to England, had her plans happily changed by the tidings that on the Sea Foam's next trip to New England her own people would come to try their fortunes in the new world. So it was that in the fall more settlers came, and there was abundance for all, and the sim« pie God-fearing people, out of the thankfulness of their hearts, set aside a day in which special thanks were to be given to the Giver of All Good Things. While all were bound together by this common cause, each had special cause for thankfulness, and Elzeth, happy in the ar­rival of the home folk, rejoiced that there was to be a new home-land, dear as the old, and with greater opportunities.

Therefore you all have something to be thankful for, even if you can't go home to spend Thanksgiving. There are things far worse than spending Thanksgiving in Belling­ham when Bellingham isn't home. We know that every student, who is fortunate enough to be able to go home, during our short vacation, will have just the very best time that can be crowded into a few days. And we hope that those wo have to stay here may have just as pleasant a vacation and find enough to do to keep from getting homesick. Presidential elections and half-term examina­tions are over and all things are to go on as be­fore. Those tests are a nuisance but they show us how we stand in our classes, though that is the very reason that they are such a nuisance to some of us. We have nine weeks of this semes­ter left to make up failures of all kinds. May we have success. Quite a number of our students took the teachers' examination. It is to be hoped that they keep and improve the good record already ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [15] ---------- made by students of "our" school in taking these examinations.

(The real experience of a Normal boy.) "What are you laughing about, Uncle Bil­ly ?" asked Jack, smiling sympathetically. Un­cle Billy tipped his chair back against the wall and gathered his chin whiskers into his boney hand. "Oh, I was just thinkin' 'bout that time Ezra tried to break in Old Hank to drive." Uncle Billy looked around at us over his spectacles. I really do not know just what he used them for. I never saw him look at anything through them. "Ezra was rakin' up some hay one day, when he happened to look across the fence, and there stood Hank lookin' at him. Thinks Ezra,"won-der if I couldn't break Hank to drive? I be­lieve I'll try it." He dropped his rake and started after the old mule. "Ezra was about the sediest lookin' mortal ever I see. The top of his hat was loose in front, and his straw-colored hair stood on end a peekin* through the crack. His trousers were too short and didn't meet the tops of his shoes. His coat was ripped around the sleeves where his old faded shirt was showin' through. Sure, Ezra looked more like a scare-crow than a livin' man. "After chasm' Hank round the pasture awhile he caught him and fetched him to the barn. There was an old double harness hangin' in the barn that nobody used and Ezra took half of it, fixed it up a bit and put it on Hank. When he got it on the old mule was rather a ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [19] ---------- LOCALS. Miss S.: Don't you sometimes feel certain (emptions around the heart zxzbqffetaointaoi emotions around the heart? Prof. Wilson: Yes, and sometimes around the stomach, too. Dr. Mathes (in assembly)—There is a young woman in this school, keeping house alone, who wants a companion. We are sorry the illness of Miss Ella Wheel­er has necessitated her leaving school for a short time. We hope she will soon be able to return. Dr. Mathes has arranged for a series of talks to be given by the members of the faculty, one on Monday of each week. The first of the series was given by Miss Baker. Her subject was "Modern Friendship". Dr. Bowman took for his subject "Nothing". His talk was as original as his subject. The next of the series' was to have been by Miss Bratton on "The Lew-jJs and Clark Exposition", but it had to be post­poned. Dr. Mathes told the students of his visit to the Normal at Cheney, describing the school and comparing it with our Normal. The last talk given so far was by Prof. Epley, who described his vacation spent at the Marine Biological Institute at Wood's Hole, Mass. These talks have all been both interesting and instructive, and we are glad that they are to continue. One of the best addresses given at the Nor­mal this year was the one by Prof. Sampson, of the Pullman Agricultural College and School of Science, on "The Traces of a Man." Prof. Sampson was one of the most popular instruct­ors at the Whatcom County Teachers' Institute as well as at the Skagit County Institute. Miss Etta Monty is teaching a very success­ful term of school at Minkler, in Skagit county. Prof. Eply—"Mr. Smith, you were absent last Monday." Mr. Smith.—"Professor, I was ill (home­sick)."

Just what success will be met with in this new enterprise remains to be seen, but it is hoped that the students will give it their approbation, and that by next year a book containing the name of every boy in the school, with his exact age, weight, height, color of hair and eyes, his occupotion, ambition. . • .. degree of intellectuality, power of attraction, manner of dress, and all other interesting infor­mation, may be found in the office, library, room IT, Y. W. C. A. room, and the gymna­sium. But at present it is possible to give only a few of these facts in a very unsatisfactory manner. The information obtained is as follows: The number of boys in school is between 25 and 30, it being impossible to ascertain the exact num­ber owing to the fact that some count as frac­tions and some as two or three. Seven boys have black hair; one has pure white; some yel- . low; one almost red, and the rest are blessed with brown, ranging from that mousey colow to a beautiful golden brown so admired by our many girls. Sixteen of our boys have eyes as blue as the sky at mid-day; the remainder have those dreamy, brown eyes that fill the soul with thought of love and beauty and Latin tests. To attempt to give ages is a hard matter, and approximations only can be made. However, we venture to say that fully seventy-five per cent, di our boys are under eighteen; as for the rest, no human being could be certain. As . to power of attraction of the yf«ung men of the school, it seems to be pretty well divided among the entire number, but it is feared that a cer­tain energetic Senior and a dapper little So­phomore have a little more than their share of fair worshippers. This is the extent of the information ob­tained this year and we present it to you with the hope that it will be a never-failing source of enjoyment and profit, and that in the years to come we may be regarded as benefactors of our race and classed with the signers of th Declaration of Independence and the law­givers of Sparta and Athens. —U. S-'CVr. \ - - Miss Bertha Kale, one of last year's mem­bers of the class of '06, is teaching at Sumas. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [17] ---------- BOYOLOGY. (No Note Books required.) It has been generally conceded in the Bel-lingham State Normal that one of the princi­pal factors of school life, either social or in­tellectual, is that thing which adds so little to the yearly attendance, and so much to all else, namely, the boys. As this statement will, in all probability, be doubted by a few of the wiser (?) ones, it will no doubt be well to, give a few arguments sup­porting it. In the first place, let us look at the question from a teacher's point of view. Who* may I ask, will move the piano from the so­ciety hall to the gymnasium at the next art exhibit? Will it be the faculty, or the pupils of the training school ? Ah, no; 'twill only be those much slighted boys. Who is it, when the much honored "biology teacher asks for help in the museum, that responds with brave hearts and willing hands? No, its not the Junior, nor yet the Freshmen girls—only those boys again. And so from the standpoint of the faculty, it is seen, that the boys are, if not a luxury, ot least a necessity. But the young ladies, also, have opinions on this subject; so let me ask them a question: "Just where would you have been, O, noble ^Seniors, at your basket-ball games last year, if you had not had a young man in your ranks who screamed with unabated vigor :t "Seniors, Seniors, we're all right, Seniors, Seniors, out of sight!" Then again, you who are not interested in basket-ball, just what would you do the uext time you went to Society, if you had no boy to inform you what "Roberts' Rules of Order" has to say on the subject? From what has been given I think it will be seen that a limited. number of boys is an ab­solute necessity. But, alas! no steps have been taken to show that these boys have ben appreciated. They have been scattered hap-hazard throughout the building, with no thought of their value. No careful record has been kept of them; and on this account much of their usefulness has been allowed to go to waste. But this year an attempt has been made to classify them, and get them in proper working ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [16] ---------- queer lookin' sight, for the old harness was about two sizes too big for him. Ezra hauled out the old milk cart, which was too heavy in the back and would tip over backwards if any one sat down in it. "After he got Hank hitched up to the cart he got in, took up his lines, yelled 'gitdap,' gave the old mule a crack with a stick and away they tore. First thing Ezra knew, he was sprawlin' on the ground, havin' been jerked out back'ards when Hank stopped short on a sudden. He picked himself up, climbed into the cart again and gave Hank another crack. Then that mule began to kick. Fust thing he got one leg over the dash-board and kicked the bottom of the cart with the other. When he got both feet on the ground again Ezra pulled him up good and sharp. Then Hank sat down —yes he did; right on his haunches, like a dog, and looked round at Ezra. I think that old donkey that used to talk to Balaam must a looked like Hank did then. "But while he was settin' there, the under strap of the old harness broke, and over went the cart with Ezra under it. And Old Hank sat there and laughed, yes sir, laughed, sure as I'm livin'. "Ezra didn't try the cart again, but got out an old wagon, hitched Old Hank up to one side of the tongue and went drivin' down the street. When he come to the blacksmith shop he thought he'd get Hank shod, so he unhitched him and .led him up a little ways and went into the shop. Just as he disappeared a boy came along and kicked out the block that Ezra had put under the wheel, and the wagon started down the hill. The tongue ran right between Hank's legs, and when the wagon hit him he jumped off the ground with all fours and went hoppin' wildly down the hill astride the tongue, the wagon rattlin' along behind him. "At the foot of the hill there was a crick, and Hank was pushed straight into it. He swam across, clambered up the bank and made for home. Ezra never tried him again and Old Hank is still peacefully grazin' out in the old pasture, I 'spose." F. M. '07. The Seniors were glad to welcome Edna Kerr back, if only for one day. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [20] ---------- Dr. Bowman (in history).—"Miss Hughes,, what were some of the troubles of Henry VIII?"

John Swanberg, who last year was president of the class of '06, is attending the Dental CoJ- ! lege, in Portland, Oregon, with the intention of becoming a dentist. Christine Willard, one of last year's star basket-ball players, was a recent visitor at school, while spending a week with Jennie Gil­christ. Miss Willard is now teaching near Oak Harbor. Query (to be answered by the boys who went to Anacortes)—"Why is Mr. Wh-t-s-e's [ favorite color combination red and black?" i Miss Horner, critic of the grammar de­partment of the training school, is able to again take up her work after rather a long illness. During her absence Miss Tromanhauser took charge of her department. As is usual at the beginning of every quarter in the school year, there has been a change of practice teachers in the training school. One of the Freshmen in the physics class when asked what Sir Isaac Newton's nationality was, replied, " I think he was a bachelor." Mrs. Foster, who has spent part of her life as a missionary in China, visited school not long ago and gave a very interesting talk at a Y. W. C. A. meeting, about her work in China. Mrs. Foster's son is at present a missionary in that country just across the ocean. (Heard at the biology excursion to Dot Is- * land). .

Among the former students who visited the Normal during Institute week were: Ethel Nichols, Alma Powers, Marion Sancomb, El­sie Stout, Kate Long, Lulu Simmons, Nellie Marsh, Lillian Smith, Stella Prouty, Amy Linnell, Edith Blott and Mildred Ireland. The faculty and students extend to Miss Mary Pattison their heartfelt sympathy for her in the loss of her sister. The Y. W. C. A. entertained the faculty, students and their friends at a Hallowe'en party, Saturday, October 29. All present en­joyed a weird and ghostly time. Several of the girls who went feel eternally grateful to the Y. W. C. A. girls, who by mysterious revela­tion showed them their future spouse. The society hall was appropriately decorated for the occasion with pumpkins, apples and autumn leaves. At the close of the evening a three-course supper, consisting of pumpkin pie, gin­ger bread and apples was served. "And he may still be counted wise, Whose thoughts most sluggish flow, If he can keep from others' eyes The things he does not know." —Ex. ATHLETICS. On October 22nd the football team from the Normal met the Mount Vernon team on the home gridiron and defeated them with a score of 28 to 0. The Normal boys were outweighed by the visitors, yet played a far more scientific game. The line -up was as follows: Center, Petheram; R. guard, Williams; R. tackle, Miller; L. end, Phelps; Q. back, L. Mil­ler ; F. back, Green; R. Half, Whitesides; L. half, Evans; Subs., Ferschler; Moultray, P. Miller. The game between the Normal team and the High School might more properly be called a practice game than anything else, as neither team knew about the game until the day before it was played. Although the last half ended with a score of 5 to 0 in favor of the High Schol, yet the Normal team played a clean, scientific game throughout. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [18] ---------- On November 12 the Normal team went to Anacortes for a game with the Anacortes Busi­ness College. Although greatly outweighed by the A. B. C., the home team was victorious, the game ending with a score of 5 to 0 and the Nor­mal boys in possession of the ball not ten yards from the Anacortes goal. The young ladies of the Anacortes Business College, assisted by the High School girls, ten­dered the Normal football team an enjoyable reception after the game on November 12. No one doubts that all had a fine time, if one can julge by reports the boys brought back. All classes, with the exception of the Fresh­men, have organized basketball teams and are practicing several times a week. The follow­ing captains have been chosen: Seniors, Elsa Anthon; Juniors, Sarah Van Reypen; Third years, Jennie Gilchrist; Sophomores, Dorothy Hughes. The basket-ball managing committee will be appointed by the president of the Ath­letic Association immediately after Thanks­giving. The contest for championship and the Kline cup begin in December. It is to be hoped that the games will prove as interesting this year as last. CHAPEL NOTES. Mr Kibbe has discovered that the chapel is an excellent place to study phrenology, espe­cially so for the first year girls, as they really have the best location in the hall—behind the boys. One morning, the first of the month, Rev. Flescher, of the First M. E. church of this city, gave a short but interesting talk to the students who are always glad to welcome such speakers. The same morning that Mr. Flescher spoke to us, Miss Ellis gave a piano solo and Miss Frank Sullivan a vocal solo, both of which were heart­ily applauded. We wish they might come of-tener. Friday, October 28, Capt. Eli gave a talk in his usual happy strain. Mr. Jones and Mr. Anslow entertained the students Wednesday, November 16, by giving a scene from "The Rivals." Both Mr. Jones ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [23] ---------- and Mr. Anslow show ability in that line, and the students are perfectly willing to be enter­tained in the same manner again. A friend of Dr. Mathes from Eastern Wash­ington has presented the school with an old In­dian spoon made from a moose horn. The spoon is known to be at least 200 years old, and is considered a valuable Indian relic. It will be placed in the museum. The students are glad to know that Harry Kaymond, who has been very ill at St. Joseph's hospital, is now past danger and will soon be able to again resume his work. Miss Edna Hallock visited relatives in Seat­tle the first of this month. Dr. Moore (in spelling class)—"What is the meaning of the word demagogue ?" Miss B.—"It's a jug." We should like to ask Mr. Anslow how he knows whether girls like to go walking or not ? Miss Adelaide Hantein and Miss Ellen Gra­ham recently visited friends and relatives in Anacortes. CLASSES. The first year class is organized at last with the following ofiicers: President, Annie ISord; Vice-President, Percy Miller; Secretary, Net­tie Bailey; Treasurer, Walborg Oleson; His­torian, Kathleen Casey; Sargeant-at-Arms, Mr. A. M. Moore. Owing to lack of time for prac­tice a basketball team has not yet been organ­ized, but when this problem is solved the class will probably put up a good team, as they have the material for one. The Sophomores have chosen tan and pink as their class colors. They have a strong bas­ketball team and will no doubt "do things" in the coming series of games. At a recent meeting of the Juniors Miss Frances Moncrief resigned as basketball man­ager and Miss Mildred Wilson was elected to fill the vacancy. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for the Junior reception to be given in December. The Seniors have been devoting their ener­gies for the past week preparing for the recep­tion given Friday night. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [24] ---------- A Normal student never lacks for some one to talk to him. But only once in a great while does he experience the delight of being sung to. November 17, however, was an exception when the Choral Club, under Miss Moore's di­rection, gave a musicale in the Society hall. Every one enjoyed both the vocal and instru­mental numbers and we all hope that the club will "do it again" in the near future* The reception given by the Seniors, Friday i evening, November 18, was the great event of the month. The Society hall, Y. W. C. A. par­lor and corridors were tastily decorated for the occasion. Here and there a cozy corner invited the occupancy of parties who consider "two company". The farce presented by four of the Senior girls made a decided hit. Good music was furnished by both the quartet and orches­tra. Each guest carried away a dainty souve­nir in the form of an artistic program. SOCIETIES. Sirius. The programs' as well as the business sessions of the Sirius Society continue to improve. At the last meeting the debate on the question, "Re­solved, That daily assembly is more beneficial than weekly," was especially interesting. The speakers were: Affirmative, Mr. Kibbe and Miss Paddock; negative, Miss Hallock and Mr. Anslow. At the close of the program Prof. Romine acted as critic, and his remarks and ' criticisms, which were of a very complimentary character, were heartily received. Clionean. The membership of the society is still in­creasing, and now numbers over 130. At the last meeting there were so many present that one member was inspired to say: "Two chairs for four of us; Lucky there ars no more of us." [ With all the material which the society pos­sesses, the programs should be of the best. However, the last program was disappointing, owing to the inability of some of the members to do their work. Dr. Mathes' talk at the close of the meeting was much appreciated. The Clioneans are still wondering whose pumpkin disappeared on Hallowe'en. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [25] ---------- Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. girls are hard at work making preparations for their bazaar, which is to be held in December. On Friday, Novem­ber 11, Miss Kibbe, president of the asocia-tion, entertained a crowd of the girls at the home of Mrs. G. A. Jenkins, on High street. Most of the evening was spent in making arti­cles for the "sale." The evening was a success socially as well as otherwise, and the girls hope to have another such meeting soon, with a larger attendance. Just where the "sale" is to be has not yet been decided, but it will prob­ably be in one of the stores on Holly street. The cocoa stand in the basement has been started with Marjory Spratt as chief cook. The girls are selling the cocoa to help defray the expenses of the association. Two Bible classes have been organized; one to study the history of the Bible with Dr. Bow­man, at 3:30 every Friday afternoon, and the other to study The Life of Christ. The latter class is to meet at the "Students' Hour," Fri­day mornings. Kev. Varney, of the Baptist church of this city, is to take this class. We greatly appreciate the kindness of both Mr. Varney and Dr. Bowman, as both are very busy, and we hope all who can will attend these classes. EXCHANGES. We are glad to have papers from so manj schools this year. Our exchanges bring us ii closer touch with the school-life all over oui own country. Among the exchanges we notice "The W Wa," from Port Townsend; the "Spinster, from Portland; Norman College News, Ypsi lanti, Mich.;Legenda, New London, Conn., Purple and Gold, Lewiston, Idaho; The Phs ros, New Westminster, B. C ; The Enterpns lt; Snohomish, Wash.; College News, Welleslej Mass.; The Evergreen, Pullman, Wash., an many others. The College Independent, from Olympia, a valuable paper and we hope to see it on ov table regularly. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [26] ---------- We welcome the Wa Wa from the Port Town-send High School, and while the season does not afford live matter for a baseball theme, we wonder how a "Football triumph" would do. So many of the exchanges have no exchange column. We hope they will be added. We learn from the Enterprise that the Sno­homish High School is trying the plan of hav­ing two rival literary societies. Conspicuous by its absence is the athletic column of the November number of the Wa Wa. A woman delights in getting a new hat; a girl a new bow (beau).—Ex. Because a man has a mustache is a very strong evidence that he has a hair lip.—Ex. It is not that a man does not wrong that gives him salvation, but that he does do good.—Ex. He—"What part of speech is kiss 3" She—"I don't know; whatever it is I can't decline it."—Ex. Quite a number of the Alumni are teaching in Whatcom county, as was shown by the num­ber present at the institute, which was held here in October. Several of them are teaching in the towns and districts all over the county. Among those who visited their Alma Mater in­stitute week were: Belle Williams, Ethel Everett, Florence Sears, Minnie Penfield, Olive Edens, Sadie Llewellyn, Laura Sweet, Hjalma Stenvig, Stratira Biggs, Elsa Schneider, Mr. Korstad and Mr. Monnett. Miss Mable Steen, '04, was the instructor in physical culture in the Skagit County Insti­tute, held in October, and received highest praise for her work. Misses Ida Charrion and Loretta O'Laugh-lin recently visited friends who were attending school. Both are very successful in their work. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1904 November - Page [27] ---------- GAS ^tLfc, FOR STUDYING AND READING rsify IS SOFTER AND EASIER ON C I T I O THOUSAND FEET THE EYES THAN ANY OTHER ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. $2.00 PER FOR COOKING NO DIRT.

Western President Karen Morse joinedPresident Clinton, retired Gen. Colin Powell and many others in the catalytic event intended to getpoeple involved with America's youth. "It is the idea of the Peace Corps working here at home," Morsesaid. Morse said she was very pleased to have had to opportunity to attend the summit. Theintention* she explained, was directed towards the youth of America in order to provide hope for thefuture of communities. "More people will become aware of current programs due to the publicity thesummit created," Morse said. She explained volunteering is nothing new to Western or theBellingham area. "We had over 5,000 people volunteer 700,000 hours of service in Whatcom County lastyear," Morse said. Powell agreed to spearhead the summit in an effort to touch and influence the lives ofyoung people and of people who need assistance. "Our young people are facing unprecedentedchallenges. They deserve the same kind of support from their country as we received, but it will takeextra effort from all of us to make that possible," Powell said. The summit was achieved through acooperation of current and past presidents and first ladies, bipartisan leaders on the local and nationallevel and delegations from hundreds of corn- See Summit, page 6 Citizens respond to Western'smaster plan By Arvid Hokanson The Western Front Feelings of confusion, disgust and support aresome of the emotions that have been expressed by many of Western's neighbors as the process toapprove the Draft Comprehensive Master Plan continues. Western had the last of its currentlyscheduled cottage meetings at Happy Valley Elementary School Wednesday night. For the most part,residents of the area zoned as the future site of property acquisition expressed anger anddissatisfaction with both Western's approach to working with citizens and the plan itself. "We want aprocess where Western looks at the concerns of the neighborhoods and addresses and shows itsneeds," said Happy Valley resident and citizen advocate John Servais. "Western has shown noneeds on paper, it's based on estimations ... Western can't just use the neighborhoods how they want." "We are committed to going through the process," said Western President Karen Morse. "What we want to do is to listen and make changes, so it does meet some of we ijmnt to do is to lis- £/I|jps iMp"we're in the process of doin^Mtt flgjfc, Westwh president the concerns of the city, our neighbors andthat is what we're in the process of doing right now," she said. In keeping with this, Western sent aletter on May 7 to the Bellingham City Planning Department, proposing to combine the mas*er planand neighborhood planning processes. In the letter, George Pierce, Western vice-president for businessand financial affairs, wrote to City Planning Director Patricia Decker, "It appears to us that, with someadjustments to the ongoing neighborhood planning process, the needs and requirements for bothneighborhood planning and master planning could be met in a single process." In a footnote attached tothe letter, stemming from legal advisement given by Western's attorney, Pierce wrote that Western,as a result of its previously-adopted neighborhood .plan, is not subject to the ordinances and lawsof the City, but wants to, and is working with the city "without waiving and hereby reserving any and allof it rights with regard to its independent authority." Servais responded to the letter by saying "they aredeclaring the Republic of Western." Western currently is working with the city he said, but they havewritten themselves an escape clause to implement their plan when and how they want to. "We're in theprocess of evaluating the letter, and the relationship between the neighborhood plan and the masterplan," Decker said. "Based on the feedback we heard at planning commission meetings, weadvised Western that they should better communicate what they are planning, as there a lot of peopleaffected by the planning." In order to obtain feedback from citizens, Western has had four cottagemeetings: two for Happy Valley and one each for the Sehome and South Hill neighborhoods. Someof the citizens of the three neighborhoods said they are already feeling the impact of Western's growthand are concerned with the central issues of the master plan. On-street parking in residential areashas been a recurring complaint at the neighborhood meetings. Other issues are traffic congestion,property value and the Western's publicity of the plan and its intentions. The general reaction of mostcitizens at the meetings has been one of surprise, uncertainty and anger. Pierce said the pur-tern hggshown no needs er,ibLbased on em^atiiMillii Western can't just use the neighborhoods how theywan^^^^ ^^^ cimzen acjmnst pose of the cottage meetings has been to "One: provide a more informaldialogue with our neighbors as a supplement to the more formalized city planning process. Two: shareinformation about the major elements of the master plan, including parking, safety and the need forimproved academic and green space, and how we hope to address those issues. And three: getcomments and suggestions on how we might better those issues in the master plan." Servais said thatmembers of Happy Valley are especially concerned with the status of future property values andpreserving the semi-rural, mellow neighborhood atmosphere. Servais likes Western, but stressedconcerns over the fairness of the process. Other citizens have shared in Servais's frustration. "You needto treat the people in this neighborhood honestly ... this process is screwed up," said Randy German,Happy Valley representative to the Mayor's Neighborhood Advisory Commission. One part of the masterplan includes con-necting 21st Street to West College Way by See Master Plan, page 3 ---------- Western Front - 1997 May 16 - Page 2 ---------- THE WESTERN FRONT • 2 ^mM^^0^S^MM^^M^H^^I^^^^^M0^i a _ !

She also left with a promise of a $10,000 scholarship to be awarded to aWestern student. GB Enterprises President Grace Borsari told Morse that she and Alpha TechnologiesPresident Fred Kaiser have established the Kaiser-Borsari Foundation for Higher Education. The firstact of the foundation was the creation of a $10,000 scholarship fund to be awarded in 1997. Thefoundation expects the fund to grow to as many as 100 scholarships, Borsari said. "Those(scholarships) will all be for WWU students," said Vanessa Oliver-Nielsen, executive assistant to thepresident at Alpha Tech. The scholarships will be awarded after a recommendation is made byPresident Morse and selected by Kaiser and Borsari. "The criteria are not even set for the scholarship."Morse said. "I will be meeting with Grace Borsari and talking with her about what kind of criteria theyInfluential critic, writer will speak Photo courtesy of Chris Baron GB Enterprises President Grace Bosariand Western President Karen Morse after she accepted a scholarship and computer.

However, Inge said ishappy to be part of the team that will make the criteria for the scholarship. Along with the scholarship,Morse accepted a new $20,000 computer courtesy of Alpha Tech. The computer, a Hewlett- Packard"Pentium Pro 200" server, will be used in a, student laboratory in the engineering technologydepartment, Morse said. Western plans weekend of family entertainment By Tiffany White The Western Front Families of Western students are invited to discover the many and diverse landscapes oflearning at Western and in the Bellingham community May 16- 18 for the annual , Western Showtime Family Weekend. The event is sponsored by Kappa Hall, Associated Students, University DiningServices and New Students Programs/Family Outreach program. With several different activitiesplanned, New Student Programs/Family Outreach Program Director Anna Carey hopes "to providefamilies the opportunity to visit students and see what is available in Bellingham and the Westerncommunity." Families will have the opportunity to tour numerous galleries in Bellingham, attend theplay "The Cherry Orchard," on the Performing Arts Center Mainstage and see blues band theRoadhouse Jukes perform live at the ASP Underground Coffeehouse. Also, whale search and nature all-day cruises on The Island Caper, and tours of Wilson Library and the outdoor sculptures will be offered.Providing a carnival atmosphere for the family, Kappa Hall will be hosting the Kappa Carnival from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday May 17 on the Old Main lawn. The festival will feature live musicperformances by Western's Bass and a Cup of Joe and belly dancing by Belly Dance Fever. Vendors will also, be selling merchandise. AUAP Japanese exchange students will be selling native foods andorigami crafts along with "Games of Chance" booths with games, such as ring tosses and basketballshooting. Kappa Hall will also have a charity booth, selling items donated by Kappa residents and "allwe sell will be donated to charity," Kappa Hall President Sean Williams said. A new addition to thisyears' weekend agenda is the Sehome Arboretum Clean-Up from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Friday May 16.Volunteer families will be asked to split up into groups and to hike in different directions to pick up anygarbage they may find in the Arboretum. This year, the weekend is "more focused on being outside andenjoying the springtime while seeing what Western has to offer," Carey said. For more information, call650-3846. "The engineering people here at Alpha Technologies made contact with the college," saidRex Withers, director of engineering at Alpha Tech. "They came up with a list of items the studentscould use. Together we selected what we agreed was the most immediately usable off-the-shelf piece of equipment available," he said. "This is a wonderful example of a partnership," Morse said. "What wesee here is Alpha making a commitment to students, and even more with the establishment of thescholarship fund." By Michelle Rennie The Western Front Mexican essayist, journalist and criticalcommentator Carlos Monsivais will speak at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday May 20 at Western's Performing ArtsCenter. "Monsivais is considered to be one of the most influential intellectuals .in Mexico today, ranking in the company of Carlos Fuentes and Octavio Paz," said Alberto Diaz Gonzalez, representative of theConsulate of Mexico in Seattle. "He is an eloquent commentator on politics, religion and Mexicansociety." Monsivais, 59, has written political and social commentary for leading Mexican publications. He is also a frequent contributor to The Los Angeles Times and CNN. "For more than 20 years,Monsivais has written political satire and critical commentary on Mexican popular culture," saidanthropology professor James Loucky. "I am sure the Mexican elite wish he would go away, but he istoo influential." "He is a cultural critic, writing on issues ranging from art, art cinema and theenvironment," said art histroy professor Laura Crary-Ortega. "Monsivais is a member of the Group of One Hundred, a well respected group of artists and intellectuals who speak from a leftist position. InMexico, there is more room for the left," Crary-Ortega said. While Monsivais is well known as a best-selling author in Mexico, he has released his first English translation of his work entitled "MexicanPostcards." "In Latin America there are many literary genres: there's poetry, fiction, theater ... and thenthere's the 'Monsivais Genre,'" said writer Elena Poniatowska at the book release in Guadalajara lastmonth. "He's transformed conventional concepts of journalism and culture," she said in an article in The News, a Mexico City English newspaper. "He astutely observes both cultural trends and socialtragedy. Even as he delves into high culture, he never abandons popular culture," Poniatowska said.The lecture is presented by the Center for International Studies Programs, Consulate of Mexico andthe Whatcom Hispanic Organization. Advanced tuition payment program signed into law By Julia PaigeGroce The Western Front Gov. Gary Locke's infant daughter Emily will be paying 1997 college tuitionprices even though its not likely that she'll enroll in' an~ institution of higher learning until at least 2015.On May 7, Locke signed into law the Washington State Advanced Tuition Payment Program, wherebyinterested citizens may purchase units of tuition for use at a later date and lock in at the current tuitionrates. The program is established to help make higher education more affordable and accessible.Prepaid tuition programs are currently operating in 14 states. Going into effect at the end of July,Washington's program will allow future students to redeem their tuition units at a state school withno additional cost and provides similar monetary benefits at independent, private, vocational and out-of- state colleges. Through the state's large investment portfolio, the funds will earn sufficient interest to keep pace with tuition increases. "It's really free financial aid. It allows parents, friends, family,employers and just about anybody who cares about kids to buy an education for the future at today'sprices," said Associated Students Legislative Liaison Tres Gallant. Tuition has been going up every year at rates which have exceeded both inflation and average personal incomes, according to theWashington Higher Education Coordinating Board. ree financial aid. s, friends, faWm}, empmyers andjust about anybody who cares about kids to buy an education for the future at today's prices. ^^Associatm Stude LegisUmve Li In the past 20 years, public college tuition in Washington increasednine percent per year. In 1993 and 1994, tuition increased by 29 percent, according to WHECB. Thepayment can be guaranteed because the state considers advanced payments to be contractualagreements, legally binding to the state. "Even if the state decides that the program is not going to work, they'll still pay for the units that have already been purchased," Gallant said. Another aim of theprogram is to encourage the college planning process early. With the beneficial opportunity to invest,families will be more likely to consider small steps toward their child's college career. The child too canalso make contributions that will reflect the day's economic status. "If I'm 12 years old and mowinglawns, I can save up $30 in a couple weeks," Gallant said. Where that $30 could mean very little in 10years, it will be a direct investment in higher education through the new program at the current tuitionrates. In the event that the beneficiary does not redeem their tuition units for attendance at aninstitution of higher education, refunds shall be issued. Included in the conditions are: individuals certifythat they will not attend such an institution, they graduate early, scholarships cover necessary costsor if they prove certification of. death or disability. ---------- Western Front - 1997 May 16 - Page 5 ---------- Mav 16. 1997 MW»gMS!P»iaMJi f^^simm^MMw^tt THE WESTERN FRONT • Grads talk about lifeafter Western Are there any jobs left out there? — By Michelle Rennie The Western Front Persistence, innovation and luck is what you will need when you leave Western with your freshly acquired humanities degree, four graduates told students at a panel discussion on Tuesday May 13. Twenty fiveundergraduate students gave up a portion of the sunniest day this year to hear former students talkabout their experiences in the job market. Alan Gallay of the history department moderated the paneldiscussion entitled "Liberal Arts Grads at Work," organized by the Career Services Center. This formatprovided Western's liberal arts students with an opportunity to hear about real experiences and to askquestions directly to the graduates. "It's hard to open doors with a liberal arts degree," said Mark Ross,a 1994 liberal studies graduate. "But knocking on doors has led to opportunities." He formed his owncompany, Interactions, to advise corporations on techniques to overcome cultural differences whenthey do business in foreign countries. He has just completed a short-term training contract in Mexico.Kelly O'Neill graduated in March 1995 from Fairhaven College with a communication concentration. Sheis now the editor of Business Pulse, a business publication in Bellingham. She is also writingfreelance. When she was still at Western, she sent out her creative writing stories to publications. Even though she earned a stack of rejection letters, she also had a few stories published. That gave hersome clips to show prospective employers, O'Neill said. Heidi Beech graduated with a liberal studiesmajor and an environmental studies minor in 1987. After she graduated, she went to South America to backpack with her sister, who was serving with the Peace Corps. While touring an Amazonian wildlifereserve, she asked so many questions that they told her she should apply for a position as a guide. She did and was offered an internship. "Room and board in exchange for living in heaven," Beech said.Since that one-year experience, Beech has had a variety of positions, including a reoccurring role as an interior painter. She determined very quickly that "she couldn't sit at a desk." After stints as a beachranger, she was hired as a naturalist for the Seattle Audubon Society. Beech is the director for the non-profit organization, which keeps her busy nine months of the year. Her day-to-day responsibilitiesinclude hiring the 50 staff and volunteers, training, developing the program, budget concerns and handling the media. If Susan Whitehouse had any idea where she would land one year after completing heruniversity education, she might have taken some communication classes. However, when shegraduated in 1996 as a creative writing major, she had no such plans. She moved back home toTacoma and knocked on the door of every public relations firm in Seattle. Ironically, her opportunitycame when an acquaintance told her about a non-advertised position at radio station KH20 in Tacoma. She got the position and is currently the morning show producer. Despite her lack ofcommunication background, it was her volunteer work that she had done for two- and a-half years at KZAZ, It^0iardj0b open doors ijljlf a JSligrfl/ arts dl|pr%£.

Each graduate is thrilled to be working in their fields, butwhen asked about income, all four admitted that they were not making a great deal of money at thistime. When O'Neill graduated from Western, she took "a vow of poverty," giving herself one year to gether career started. "Two years later, I have been able to begin paying back my student loans," she said. Ross, who has since completed his master's degree in multicultural relations, admits that workingfor himself has meant seven days per week and 23 hours per day. "I am tired of living in poverty. I'.vetaken a step back to take two steps forward," Ross said. He is still working at other jobs to make endsmeet, but "it's coming around," he said. Beech enjoys the fact that her position gives her three monthsoff each year. In the 10 years since she graduated, she has acquired experience in a range of areas andhas worked for a city, a county and a large corporation. Beech said she could take those marketableskills elsewhere, but for now is enjoying the freedom and the challenge. The four graduates had some advice for the students in the audience. Ross advised using the informative interview as an opener todetermine if you would be interested in working for a particular company without directly asking foremployment. O'Neill stressed the importance of networking, a concept that she had beenuncomfortable with prior to joining the workforce. "Now, I understand that it is a way to let people know what you can do," she said. "Be prepared to work like a dog and go in with that mindset," Whitehousesaid. She also advocated "asking questions, learn a lot and build relationships. Develop theprofessional that you are going to be — now and think big," Whitehouse said. Employers are looking for experience, even from newly graduated students was the consensus from the graduates. Theystressed getting as much experience as possible while in university, by volunteer work, internships orwork study. These opportunities may not always lead to a full-time position, but it will give a studentthe required experience, provide opportunities to network and is a position from which to job hunt. Alden Smith, communications professor emeritus joined the conversation saying he had set up hundreds ofinternships and it was never too early to start planning. 'Two former Western communicationstudents are currently producing at CNN and another is working at MTV in New York," Smith said. "Ifyou have a dream, work towards it while you are in school." ff "Sh NEW COURSES!

"It was very exciting to receive the letter and be able to visit the department after lots of years away," Joseph Morse said. The couple, who received their doctorates atthe university in 1967, were honored by their peers in a ceremony on April 23 in Ann Arbor, Mich. The recipients of the award are chosen by the Chemistry Department Executive Committee of theUniversity of Michigan after being proposed by the department chairman, said Robert Kuczkowski, U ofM chemistry department chairman. When it was time to choose this year's nominees, Kuczkowskisaid, "Joe and Karen immediately came to mind." The Morses won the award for distinguishingthemselves in the field of chemistry. Joseph Morse, as head of the science education department, hasbeen cited nationally for his innovative approach to educating science teachers. He was honored by Uof M for excellence in leadership in chemistry education and curriculum. Morse was instrumental inthe development and improvement of Western's science education department. Morse commented in aFebruary Seattle Times story that he hopes the program, as well as Western's new science wing, willbenefit the entire community. "We're set up like a lending library. It's not simply a university resource— it's a resource for the K-12 community," he said. Karen Morse was honored for her outstandingachievement in chemical research, education and university administration. She oversaw thecompletion of Western's new science wing, which formally opened in fall, 1996. Former astronautGeorge D. "Pinky" Nelson, who was on - hand for the September dedication ceremony, said, "Thisbuilding is an example of what should be going on all over the country." Previously, the Morses were onthe chemistry faculty at Utah State University for 25 years before coming to Western in 1993. At UtahState, they were awarded the Sherrat Award, a student-bestowed honor for outstanding service tostudent and university programs. Upon returning for the Michigan awards ceremony, Joseph Morse said, "That kind of recognition is special from the department you graduated from." ---------- Western Front - 1997 May 16 - Page 6 ---------- 6 • THE WESTERN FRONT RMMIIIlMMMmill^^ mJhmdJULSLm May 16^1997 What do you think ofthe master plan?

TJinance Summit, from page 1 munitiesfrom across the country. The summit had five goals for America's youth 1) An ongoing relationshipwith a caring adult or mentor, 2) Safe places to learn and grow, 3) Marketable skills through effectiveeducation, 4) Adequate health care and 5) An opportunity to give back through community service.The intention is for two million additional youth to have all of these goals met and another five million tohave at least one of the goals met by the year 2000. "I think it can bring attention to the issue of theyouth in this country because it mobilizes forces. It gives them confidence in the fact that there isbacking for their efforts and support for future programs," Morse said Morse is one of the presidents ofthe Washington Campus Compact, a state section of a national service organization active in all 50states. Morse and 529 other presidents of colleges and universities comprise the National CampusCompact. Seventeen chapters are in WACC, with all six public universities taking part, and theremaining 11 chapters include community colleges and private institutions. According to the WACCmission statement, the organization is "a coalition of college and university presidents established toincrease campus-wide participation in community and public service and to integrate communityservice as a valued component to undergraduate education." The state organizations solicit grantmoney for educational purposes and organize volunteer work such as local tutoring. Jennifer Dorr, theexecutive director of Western's Campus Compact organization, explained _the three-prongedapproach to higher education in this area. Encouragement for volunteerism outside of school, a programfor service learning in which volunteering is academically based as part of university courses, and thegoal of developing and strengthening the roles of student leaders on campus. Dorr also said they arecurrently seeking a grant that would be implemented to the AmeriCorps programs on Washingtonstate campuses. The grant would enable 18 full-time student members to tutor kids in gradeskindergarten through six, and recruit others to provide the same service. AmeriCorps is a volunteerprogram that provides a minimal living stipend, health benefits and a year end payment of $4,725 to beused solely for educational bills. "This does not end with the conference," Morse said. The summit'sgoal are for those involved to carry the torch of volunteerism back to their individual communities,where it can affect positive change for today's youth and tomorrow's leaders. Large graduating classraises many questions for Fairhaven By Jenny Zappala The Western Front On Saturday June 14,Fairhaven College will "introduce" 118 new Fairhaven graduates, the largest Fairhaven graduateclass yet, in the annual Fairhaven graduation ceremony. The 20 percent increase of Fairhaven graduates since last year raises concern among Fairhaven faculty about the future of quality education atFairhaven. "Wow! That's great... to be a service to that many students," said Fairhaven professor RandJack. "But that raises questions as to what extent (does Fairhaven) have to modify our commitments topersonal education in order to serve a lot of graduates?" In 1996, the fall, winter, spring and summergraduates eligible for the annual graduation ceremony was 98. This year's spring quarter graduatesalone nearly rival last year's class with 81 students. Both classes are a far cry from the original 13students when the Fairhaven opened in 1966. The Western commencement ceremony is a formal eventacknowledging the degree. "It is a chance to celebrate an accomplishment of great magnitude," MarieEaton, Fairhaven's dean said. The Fairhaven graduation ceremony is meant as a complement to andnot a replacement of the Western commencement ceremony. Students can attend both ceremonies and still have lunch, said program coordinator Susan Barrett. Every year, the graduation ceremonycommittee attempts to keep the ceremony student-centered and personal despite graduate classinflation. The graduation ceremony committee consists of the year's senior seminar instructors. Thecommittee makes recommendations about the ceremony, but the graduates make the final decisions. As the graduating class grows, the biggest problem is time, especially guaranteeing equal andadequate time to introduce each and every student. This is why professor David Mason, the master ofceremonies, is there to keep the faculty in line. In a repeat performance, Mason has served as master of ceremonies since 1967. The graduation ceremony committee made several recommendations to shorten the ceremony including printing faculty statements or presenting students in groups, but thegraduates opted to keep the traditional but longer format. The information bulletin suggested theceremony will last two hours, but Eaton said four hours is more likely. While Eaton expressed concernthat the audience and faculty grumble about the length, she has no doubt about who is calling the shots. "Ultimately, it's the students' ceremony," Eaton said. Students can request music, poems oranything else to make the event more personal, however, the meat of the ceremony has not changedin three decades. Every faculty member, 'introduces' the students he or she advised by describing thestudent's concentration major and accomplishments. The doors open to invited guests at 1:30 p.m.Saturday June 14 in Arntzen Hall 100. Organizers do not expect all eligible graduates to attend theceremony. Graduates are asked to check in with organizers at 1:40 p.m. for the final head count. Noone will predict what will happen this year, but everyone is looking forward to it. While the ceremonyunderscores Fairhaven's concern about the growth Fairhaven is experiencing, Eaton said theceremony reminds her of what Fairhaven is meant to be. "The work of a dean is very hard and not veryoften rewarding," Eaton said. "It's doing a lot of the grunt work to keep the college running," shesaid. "Each graduation ceremony is my work confirmed," she said. "For me (the ceremony) is areminder of what this teaching environment is about and what students are here to accomplish." ---------- Western Front - 1997 May 16 - Page 7 ---------- Mav 16. 1997 j ^ ^ ^ a ^ g M j ^ iw^wJwmmimMyM THE WESTERN FRONT • 7 'Orchard' has badapples By Meredith Lofberg The Western Front When Anton Chekhov wrote 'The Cherry Orchard" in1904, it is unlikely he envisioned his dramatic work as it was portrayed by Western's theaterdepartment on Wednesday night. Under the direction of. James Lortz, the cast floundered through twohours of painful facial expressions and awkward interactions, with only minimal characterdevelopment. The scene is set in the turn of the century Russian estate of Madame Ranevskaya, whois returning home with her daughter Anya after a long stay in Paris. Despite the early hour of theirarrival, the house is bustling with friends and family who haven't seen the Madame in five years. Thehappy reunion quickly turns sour as the discussion turns to the impending sale of the estate. The familyhas become poor, and the mortgage has gone unpaid. However, a family friend and merchant namedLopakhin soon offers a solution to the family's monetary problems. He suggests they cut down thecherry orchard and sell off subdivi-" sions to developers. The proud Madame Ranevskaya refuses to sellher beloved orchard, which has been in her family for generations. Lopakhin reminds her thatgenerations of his family have lived there as well — as indentured servants. Chad Jennings as Lopakhin gives one of the only emotionally evocative performances as he shouts, "I've bought the estate wheremy father and grandfather were serfs; where they weren't even allowed into the kitchen." He stumblesconvincingly across the stage as he exalts on his successes. Barzin Akhavan's performance asGayev is mixed. Throughout the performance the audience is shown little bits alluding to Gayev'seccentricity. He plays billiards on an imaginary table, and he is continually talking, leading hisfamily to ask him to keep quiet. These quirks could be entertaining, but the audience is left to loseinterest when they are underdeveloped. The play's lackluster performances make it difficult for theaudience to empathize Madame Ranevskaya, Anya or Varya, played by Anna-Marie Broback, AlyciaDelmore and Gabrielie Tracy,, respectively. It is often hard to tell whether they are laughing or crying.Tracy's portrayal of Varya, a supposedly stalwart character, is weak and self-pitying. Delmore's innocent Anya seemed almost saccharine, grating on the nerves. The performance by the supporting cast,thankfully, is a vast improvement with Shane Bunda stealing the show as Yasha. Yasha elicited theonly eruptions of laughter as the audience was greatly amused by Bunda's mischievious andwomanizing servant. Mimi Appelbaum was solid as Dunyasha, the housemaid who is lost in love.Epihodov the clerk, played by Brandon Kuwada, has proposed to Dunyasha, but she only has eyes for Yasha. Kuwada's portrayal of the desperate admirer bolstered the production. Several castmembers, unfortunately, were nearly inaudible . EPspecially Matt Brown as Firs, the elderly servant, whose acting is otherwise impressive. Though the play was aided by good acting from thesupporting cast, the accents used by the actors were either overdone or non-existent. Overall, thedrama left something to be desired as Chekhov's commentary on social change and deep symbolismis lost on Western's thespians. Courtesy of Kenneth S.

Sweet as strawberry Pez, this Bellingham foursome brings pop to another level. Justin Kennedy, Ben Gibbard, Matt Gomes and Sean Garvin make up the smiling tunes thatdefine Pinwheel. Of pop and punk stock, three of the members have roots in the west Puget Sound cityof Bremerton. Only drummer Garvin can shun this label. Vocalist and guitar player Gibbard recallschemistry class his junior year in high school. It was here that he and Kennedy met. "We never did anylabs. We just sat around and talked about pop music," he said. Gomes and Gibbard were in bandstogether growing up. When Pinwheel's old bassist quit, Matt was asked to come on board. Garvinhooked up with the group after experience in a band alternately called Nugget and Snuggles. When thatfizzled out, "Pinwheel sucked me in," Garvin said. Both Gibbard and Gomes are Western studentsmajoring in environmental chemistry and environmental education/mass communication respectively.Garvin recently graduated with a biology-chemistry degree. Kennedy has his associates degree fromWhatcom, Community College and is currently attending Vancouver Film School. "Gosh, I want to be adoctor. But, seeing as how I'm not going to, or have any chance of being a doctor, I might as well rock,"Kennedy said. The band has been together for about Courtesy of Pinwheel Vocalist/guitarist JustinKennedy, drummer Sean Garvin, bassist Matt Gomes and vocalist/guitarist Ben Gibbard comprise thepop foursome Pinwheel. They will warm up the audience for Idaho's Shoveljerk tonight at the CosmosCafe. Pinwheel rocked the walls of the 3-B Beer Joint on May 3. three years. Growing in popularity notonly locally but also making news in Seattle, the four look forward to continued success. "We've beentalking with Michael Jackson," Kennedy said. "But, that doesn't have anything to do with the band." "It'seither Pinwheel or brew beer for a living," Garvin said. "I work at an oil refinery and I go to school and I'man international male spy," Gibbard revealed. "I thought it was an international mail carrier," Kennedyresponded. The band certainly loves music, but movies are a passion too. Although Spinal Tap reignsabove all others, the Bellingham boys are avid Star Wars fans Front/Chris Luczyk as well. "I kinda likePrincess Leia," Kennedy admitted. "I like those buns." Pinwheel, a name that Kennedy says meansnothing and "came from thin air," is happy to be a part of Bellingham's diverse music scene. "There's awhole bunch of different kinds of bands, which is cool," Gomes said. "You can see a punk show, see apop show, see a hardcore show or whatever. But it also sucks 'cause you don't get shows with bandsthat are like you." With influences from the Pixies, Built to Spill, Teenage Fan Club, Gas Huffer,Jawbreaker and the Beatles, Pinwheel pumps a feel-good sound worth snapping your gum to. Industrialband is product of regional manufacture By Sara Buckwitz The Western Front Inside the confines of this small town evolved an industrial band called Lateral Tension. "Electronic mayhem with distorted vocals,"is how leader, AJ Razor, described the music. The band's first compact disc titled "Pressure Device"will be available in July. The band is composed of Razor, the lyricist, singer and sequence programmer,Adam Dinsmore, main percussionist and also a sequence programmer and Sean Lankhaar whoperforms with them live. Razor and Dinsmore are the co-creators of the music, and Lankhaar gives ideasand feedback. The trio has worked together for about a year. The name Lateral Tension is Razor'ssynthesis of one of the common human experiences. "The unnecessary negativity between people. It isspawned in the mind and is most often an illusion. The tension can cause aggression, inner fear,turmoil, hostility and pain. It is spontaneous, and like a fire, can burn out of control once it has beenignited," he said. Jezzebel from KUGS's "Dark Entries" worked with the group. "They are exactly whatthe industry needs," she said. She helped to promote them and get their music played on KUGS. Shegot a good response from the listeners when she played them on her show, she said. "I think that thefuture of music has a lot more to do with knowledge and electronics than sitting around with your guitarsmoking weed," Razor said. Razor draws from his old journals and various pieces he's written in thecourse of, his life. "I write about a journey into the mental struggles that we face in life between self-destructive behavior and sanity; it's a fine line," he said Razor and Dinsmore use computers to create the proper sound for the lyrics. They use two computers which are hooked up to keyboards and drummachines. Then, they use the computers to create the sequences. Some of the band's major influenceshave been older Skinny Puppy, KMFDM and Nine Inch Nail's "Downward Spiral." "Musically, they areenormously talented," Jezzebel said. They are trying to "combine the intensity of industrial with technomusic," Razor said. The song "Omen" is about losing faith. It describes the experience of losing all hopebased on the loss of faith in something. It starts off with soft distorted bell sounds and growls, thenmoves into a more structured form with a constant pulse. A low voice enters the song with a meditativeand depressed tone describing the pain of losing faith. Sounds of distorted moaning and a preachingmale voice fill the background. Their CD contains this song and 11 more. After growing up in Bellingham, Razor graduated from Western in 1995 with degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice. The band isin the process of constructing a web page where all its tour information will be posted athttp://members.aol.com/ajrazor/Lateral- Tension.html and AJRAZOR@aol.com ---------- Western Front - 1997 May 16 - Page 9 ---------- Mav 16. 1997 • i f l a J i i « ^^ THE WESTERN FRONT • 9 PIM S NOT DtAD WITH Pun ft sprogenitors are gone Out local band will carrg on By Jon Collamer The Western Front Bellingham's ownpunk outfit Brainsick has toured the United States, put out a CD, a seven inch, a single and are workingon a couple compilation albums. They have played with Lagwagon, Guttermouth, Jugheads Revenge,Good Riddance and many other great bands. Does this make them cool you ask? Hell yeah, but that'snot the main reason. The main reason the Brainsick are Bellingham's favorite sons of punk is their ability to put on a show with so much vigor and enthusiasm that you will not soon forget the intensity and rawpower of such an event. Brainsick members are: Sean Devine on vocals, Danny Banura left guitar, JeffRich right guitar and the rhythm section consists of Kelly Paschal on drums and Pete Dietrichson onbass. All outsiders, Brainsick's members hail from Bremerton and Ridgecrest,„ Calif. Then, like anomen from God himself, the members finally ended their search for eternal happiness and met eachother. The band formed in 1992 under the moniker Knuckle Sandwich. After signing to a independentlabel, Bellevue-based Ransom Note Recordings, they had to change their name to Brainsick as anotherband already had the name Knuckle Sandwich. The group soon discovered what it was like to be in asubservient position. "Labels take advantage of bands. They're just out there to make money. If we could be independent and have good distribution we would," Rich said. After releasing a seven-inch vinyl and a full-length CD, Brainsick decided its marriage with Ransom Note was over. "We're anti-label bigcorporate. Were into the DIY (do it yourself) thing," Rich said. The band just got done playing an all daypunk festival in Bremerton where the support for the band is much better than in Bellingham. "There'sjust not a scene here for our type of music Bellingham's got it's own bands. It is better in Bremertonwhere everyone helps each other, like a community," Brainsick guitarist Danny Banura said. Asfantasy and reality merged, Brainsick was living out the punk rock dream. The band frequented houseparties where they would pound out their set in a matter of minutes, similar to a heavy artillery gunduring a bloody revolution. "We like to see chaos and people flying around and our bouncers being theAmerican Gladiators at our shows," Dietrichson said. More often than not the party would be broken iipby friendly peace officers, freshly smelling of glaze and custard. , Brainsick play melodic, posthastemusic that differs from the mainstream punk of MTV. Brainsick's members come from an older school.They don't want to just fit in and play poppy soft-core punk. "We play really fast aggressive rock androll," Dietrichson said. "It's punk rock made fresh daily," Rich said. Brainsick played punk when criticssaid it was dead and kept playing through the trend, but their music didn't change, it's still fast, tight and hard. Front/Jon Collamer Bremerton and California transplants are the punk outfit Brainsick. From left:Danny Banura, Shawn Devine, Jeff Rich, Kelly Paschal and Pete Dietrichson. Soft-spoken singer submitsto subtle interview By Corey Lewis The Western Front Ben Harper, the eclectic singer-guitarist, and hisband The Innocent Criminals, played to a capacity crowd Saturday at Carver Gym. Harper, who playedthe Viking Union last year, brought his signature Wiessenborn guitar and soulful lyrics to Bellinghamin support of his soon-to-be- released album, The Will To Live. Western Front: You have an amazingability to convey emotion from the stage. How do you get yourself in the right frame of mind to be able todo that night after night? Ben Harper: I really can't say because that's just something that comesnaturally. It's kind of like asking how the trees grow or something. So, it's kind of hard for me to say.Before the show, I just try to focus, get centered, breathe deeply and concentrate on the show as awhole. WF: What are your favorite songs to perform live? BH: I'm really getting into "The Will To Live." That's off the upcoming record. I'm really enjoying that. I love all the solo acoustic stuff. WF: How doesit feel playing in front of thousands of people and having them react to the music? Do you really feed off of audience emotion? BH: Yeah, you can't help but do that, it feels great. WF: Your new album, The WillTo Live, has a much softer feel to it. Was that a conscious effort, or did the songs just evolve thatway? BH: Well, you're the first person I've heard that says it's softer, most people say it's more rock, sothat question catches me off-guard. If you think it's softer, then of course you're entitled to that emotional response to the music. WF: Really, because I think you tend to use a softer more whisper vocal quality. BH: Yeah, at times. Definitely, at times. It's a range, you know. There's a range of vocal sounds on therecord, I think. But, I'm hoping and I'm trying and working really hard on growing at what it is that I do, atgrowing on the instrument that I play, at»growing at my vocal technique and abilities. WF: When and where were the songs on the new album written? BH: Everywhere. Everywhere that I've really been overthe past year or so since we recorded Fight For Your Mind. Right after Fight For Your Mind was done itwas just a continual evolution, work and progress and crafting songs all the time. I co0only 0 what themusic *sjfcmysfflr I can't say how w w ^ W r anybody else. For myself^Wnelps me get througheveryday. So if it can do the same for someone else, cool. WF: When did you first get introduced to the Wiessenborn guitar? BH: When I was 20, 19 really, I started getting into the Wiessenborn and it justreally took over my musical focus and concentration. WF: When you first heard it, what led you touse it? BH: The sound really. The sound of the instrument itself. No other guitar I'd ever playedsounded like the Wiessenborn. So when I heard the Wiessenborn, I had to completely rethink guitarplaying as a whole because I had been practicing regular guitar and a lot of bottleneck slide was myfocus. I heard the Wiessenborn, which is strictly a lap slide guitar, and I had to translate all that I hadbeen learning on the other guitar styles to the lap. It really reconstructed my way of thinking about theinstrument because the lap slide guitar is like a cello really, as much as it is a guitar. WF: I know thatHerman Wiessenborn came from a family of violin makers, so he used that knowledge as the basis forthe construction of his guitar. BH: Yeah, yeah. WF: Who are some of your musical influences?Sources that influence the music that, you write? Or do you have any musical influences? BH: Well,influence in my music is just from the movement of life, really. Inspiration just comes from all corners,and it's just a matter of being open to it every day. WF: Who do you listen to for enjoyment? BH: I reallylisten to anybody. I mean, if you give me a tape, I'll listen to it. WF: I think music is a very important andintregal part of who they are, and I think people are bettered by enjoying and really understanding whatmusic means. What do you think the importance of music is? BH: I can only say what the music is formyself, I can't say how music speaks for anybody else. For myself, it helps me get through everyday. So if it can do the same for someone else, cool. WF: I've heard you do "Voodoo Chile" and "SexualHealing" onstage. Do you do any other covers? BH: We've done Jimi Hendrix's "Remember" and StevieWonder's "Superstitious" before. WF: How does it feel playing with living legends, such as John LeeHooker and Ray Charles? BH: Oh, it's the best. They're all great guys. ---------- Western Front - 1997 May 16 - Page 10 ---------- 10lt; THE WESTERN FRONT • May 16 iWWWWll iiiiMiPiMlliiM.iiWIilfPI'i Triathletes traverse toughterrain Tammy Sue Clarke The Western Front The hot California sun and hilly terrain couldn't keepmembers of Western's triathlon team from competing against the best of the best. The 20-hour driveto compete on May 4 in the Collegiate Nationals Race, hosted at the Wildflower Triathlon in Lake SanAntonio, Calif, was a short period of time for individuals who devote several hours a day to training forthese competitions. Matt Bell, Jeremy Gerking, Chris Hansen, Mark Kendall, Jeremiah Mushen, Steve Ruthford and Jim Watts all made the trip to California to show their strengths as triathletes. In 85degree weather, participants tackled the one mile swim, 25 mile bike ride and 6.2 mile run. "It was avery hilly, brutal course," team coordinator Mark Kendall said. Gerking led the team finishing ninth andqualified for a spot in the USA Triathlon National Amateur Championships to compete for a spot on the USA World Cup Team. Gerking trains 10 to 15 hours a week, on top of a full course load and 30 hoursof work. He averages 10 miles a week swimming, 50 to 60 miles bike riding and 16 miles running."Considering we were competing against the best of the best, I feel good about myself," Gerking said.Gerking focuses on Olympic distance, paying attention to both distance and speed. Gerking, who also swims for the Bellingham Masters Swim Club, hopes to break two minutes in the 200 meter freestylethis weekend at the Masters Swimming Nationals. Mushen, Ruthford, Watts and Kendall finished 36th,40th, 42nd and 58th respectively. Bell finished 112th with Hansen not too far behind.

Buster Douglas, you're my hero James "Buster"Douglas is my hero. Allow me to explain. Every time I' ve watched boxing, which totals probably fivetimes, I've always left the television thinking there is no amount of money in the world that couldpersuade me to get hit in the face so hard. Boxers, however, are a strange breed. The only peoplestranger are the millions of boxing fans who will pay money to watch other people hit each other in theface. Enter my hero. Buster worked his way up through Don King's bizarre pecking order. In 1990, hefound himself in the ring with a mon ster - Mike Tyson - and he slew King's dragon. (Translation: Buster hit the champ in the face harder than the champ hit him.) Buster was the first man to beat Tyson,making him the new heavyweight champion of the world. But this is not why he is my hero. Nor isBuster my man because he hails from my old hometown, Columbus, Ohio. Buster won my allegiance inhis next fight against Evander Holyfield. Buster realized he didn't really like getting hit in the face. Heshowed up bloated and lethargic, hugely out of shape. Holyfield quickly dispatched the champ,whereupon Buster took his $24 million and orphan. Finally, I thought, here's a real man showing the world how ridiculous it is to glorify violence. He made a mockery of boxing, and made millions in theprocess. Tuesday night, while I was channel surfing for basketball highlights, I stopped when I heardBuster's name, "... live from the Grand Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi." No. Say it ain't so, Buster, not youtoo. But there he was, 37 years old, fighting-trim at only 233 pounds, down from the almost 400 poundshe ballooned to during his retirement. His challenger, Louis "Facelifter" Monaco, "feels he (Douglas) may have come down too fast," the announcer tells me in the pre-fight hype. I set the clicker down. I'm anAmerican, it's in my blood to watch my heroes fall. I underestimated Buster Douglas. Monaco rocked him 40 seconds into the fight causing Buster to wobble through the rest of the first round. The bell rang, andthe referee stepped in between them, but Facelifter Monaco reached around with a haymaker that turnedBuster's lights out. Because the punch was illegal, Buster was allowed five minutes to recover. For fourof those minutes, Buster sat in his corner with his trainers gently trying to slap him awake, even thoughhis eyes were open. "Lights on, nobody's home," is how my old boss used to say it. Then my heroemerged. As the emcee announced Monaco had been docked a point for the illegal punch, a glimmer of.spark returned to Buster's still-fuzzy gaze. He remained on his stool, cooly calculating that in one moreminute he would no longer have to go back in the ring where Facelifter could hit him in the face again. To my own warped sense of justice, Buster's heroism was rewarded when the judges disqualifiedMonaco, and Douglas won by default. "Buster Douglas apparently decided to take the money and run,"the television announcer said in a disapproving tone. But that's my point: Buster is the only sane personin the world of boxing. Sure, he lets me down with these momentary lapses of judgment when he forgetshow much it hurts to get hit in the face. But in the clutch, he always comes through.

Rowand qualified for the competition by capturing the bronze medal at the state tournament on June 28. The top four fighters from each state advanced to nationals.Between 500 and 600 people from all across the country attended nationals, and Rowand competedagainst fighters from Hawaii, New York, Virginia and the number one fighter from the Army. He admits itwas a tough competition. "It's very difficult. There you know people have trained for months to benumber one, to be at the top, and everyone is at the elite level. So it's not a matter of how good youare, but of how many mistakes you make," he said. Through the semifinals, each fight was three rounds,with a one minute break between each two minute round. In the finals,' Rowand had to fight three rounds,which were three minutes each, still receiving only one minute break between each. Rowand is ecstaticabout his accomplishment. "I'm really excited. It's something that I have been waiting for a long time.It's a phenomenal feeling," he said. The top six competitors in the nation will compete at the U.S. teamtrials June 13-14 in Phoenix. Each opponent will battle each other at least twice, but only one personfrom each weight class will be placed on the team. Rowand says he feels his chances are "very good. Ithink that with consistent training and a lot of dedication and hard work, I can do it. I have the desire to doit, I have the passion to do it." To prepare for the trials, Rowand is adding an extra daily workout to histhree hour day, five days per week routine. He started his Tae Kwon Do career nearly 15 years ago andhas earned the rank of first-degree black belt in this full-contact sport. Tae Kwon Do will make its debutas an Olympic sport in the year 2000, after being named an exhibition sport in 1988. Rowand hopes thathe will be a member of this ground-breaking team. "Competing in the Olympics is one of my dreams" hesaid. Making the U.S. team this year is not a guarantee that Photo/Tom Degan Sang Rowand, TaeKwon Do instructor at Western, won a silver medal at the national tournament this past weekend. Now hewill travel to Phoenix, Ariz, on June 13 and 14 for the U.S. Team Trials. Rowand will be making the trip toSydney, Australia in 2000. He must repeat the whole cycle each year, placing in state, nationals and the U.S. team trials again. But he has high expectations. "I hope to have the honor to represent the U.S. atthe Olympics in the year 2000, he said. Rowand said he is hoping that his students gather motivationfrom his quest for the Olympics. "Through dedication, perserverance and sacrifice, anyone can find itwithin their heart to draw out what it takes to get to the top." Traditon takes backseat in baseballInterleague play accompanies baseball into 21st century For all baseball fans out there, I hope everyonehas realized that this season is. history in the making. Interleague play is one of the biggest things to hit baseball in a long time. The fact that I can see American and National League teams squaring off beforeOctober is something I never imagined happening in my lifetime. To see the big bats of the AL face offagainst the hot pitching of the NL during the regular season will definitely be interesting. The differencebetween the two leagues is what makes baseball the diverse game that it is. The NL scores areremarkably lower than AL games and pitchers are a lot more dominating. Power hitters are few and farbetween. Strategy is the name of the game. In the AL it is rare to see a consistent dominating pitcher.They are pretty much throwing batting practice to the bone-crushing hitters that tend to dominate thegame. Scores are much higher and pitchers get shelled often. But, this is a really big issue withbaseball fans of all ages. Two sides are definitly evident. Some people have complained that traditionis being screwed with. The game of baseball is fine the way it is. But, a lot of people didn't want African Americans to play professional baseball either. Then look what Jackie Robinson iretty much itting prac- gt;one-crush-ing hitters that tend to dominate thM did for the game. I know that this isn't as big of anissue, but baseball tradition means a lot to die-hard fans. Interleague play also disintegrates the"mystery" of the two leagues not playing each other. The fact that it only really happens once a year is really special. This is why traditionalists are angry. That something special is being lost with the twoleagues playing in the regular season. Traditionalists fail to see the other side of the coin. It is notlike the two leagues are squaring off regularly. '• " The Mariners only have 14 games out of 162against NL teams, and it is only a select few: Colorado, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco.The fact that baseball is willing to take memmik .*£» „lt;##" such a big risk in mixing the twoleagues really says something to me. It tells me we are at a crossroads in sports history. What aboutwhen the ABA joined with NBA? Ratings went through the roof, basketball games got more exciting andthe overall style of the game was dramatically changed for the better. I personally feel interleague playis a cool thing. I would love to go to a Mariners game and see some NL teams play that I never havehad the opportunity to see before, especially with how good the Mariners are this season. Can the batsof Griffey, Rodriguez, Buhner and Martinez be silenced by the pitchers of the NL? What about RandyJohnson? Can his pitching dominate NL? All are questions I am excited to see answered. Success orfailure, I have to say I admire the owners for making interleague play possible. I think it shows some guts. I applaud the sport of baseball for taking a chance. ---------- Western Front - 1997 May 16 - Page 13 ---------- » Ma^ 16 1997 THE WESTERN FRONT • Computers rule chess board but not real worldCOMMENTARY v;.:::l,gt;;ii:i!:.^THE:;.S:;;;.K! :iWtWifi- It had been dubbed, "The brain's last stand,"the rematch of man versus machine in a non-deadly bout on a chess board.

So, we're talking about a batch of oversized microchipsencased in hard plastic beating a human brain belonging to a 12-year world chess champ who hasbeaten everyone who has dared to sit on the other side of the table. What's the big deal — it's just agame, right? It was inevitable for a computer to outthink a human. Perhaps. Anyone who followed thechess match probably thought it was as exciting as watching Dad mow the lawn with safety scissors.But now that the games are over and the Deep Blue team has claimed its $700,000 victory, theimplications of the rematch are sinking in. Artificial intelligence may have rendered the human brainobsolete. For years, we have been entertained by movies, such as "The Terminator," "2001: A SpaceOdyssey," and "Star Trek: First Contact," cheering on human counterparts as they triumph over roboticenemies in their attempts to overthrow human civilization. Though the scenario of computersdeveloping sinister egos are far-fetched and ridiculous, the real-life threats are materializing in the formsof Deep Blue, airline navigation systems, and household appliances. Though Deep Blue is currentlyjust a flagship for IBM's computer technology, it may also pop up in the future to replace a position inyour profession. Wouldn't you, as a boss, prefer to purchase a computer that would work for you forpeanuts and require no overtime, sick leave or vacation? An employee who will not complain or whine,request pay raises, have children and is able to consider 200 million options per second? If acompany's financial status could increase tenfold by having a few programmers and virtually no staff,why wouldn't it happen? Computers' presence in our lives is increasing, as our daily tasks revolve around machines, appliances and computers to make our lives a little easier. But are we sure artificial inteli-gence won't turn on us someday? A very human element may prevent that from ever happening: theinnate human instinct to distrust. This could be enough to keep computers from being in total control ofhuman situations. Computers will continue to assist humans in flying planes or driving cars, but I doubtwe will ever learn to trust computers enough to eliminate human oversight over any operation. Afterall, Deep Blue had six programmers puppeteering its cables. All computers were at some point createdby fallible human beings. lilyiDEp"' Encore!

The trial court ruled in favor of DeFunisand ordered that he be admitted to the law school. An appeals court later reversed the decision, butbecause DeFunis was in his last semester the Supreme Court declared the case was moot and declinedto rule on its merits. In March, UW's race-based admissions policies were challenged again. In my viewthis kind of affirmative action had its time when racial equality was more of a problem than it is now. Don'tget me wrong, ethnic injustice still occurs — though today affirmative action policies need to addressthe social problem of class. The belief that most minority applicants come from low income families issomewhat true, but then why isn't class the focus of affirmative action-type policies? The answer is that the number of" minority students that do depend on affirmative action policies would decrease as thenumber of Caucasian students increase. Affirmative action is mainly used by universities to attain adiverse student body. It often results in turning away potential students who attained the prerequisitesregardless of ethnic background and giving minorities an image of needing lower standards in order tocompete with other applicants. For now, affirmative action is turning some heads again and is beginningto die in California and Texas because of a federal appeals court decision. The case, Hopwood v. Texas,focused on the University of Texas Law School's admissions plan in which Caucasian and minorityapplicants were considered separately to enlarge the number of minority students admitted. Judge JerrySmith found this approach unfit. He said using race to pick students makes as much sense as choosingstudents by blood type. The case has caused a stir in many institutions of higher education bringingabout the death or modification of affirmative action policies. I am not saying that affirmative action istotally wrong or right, but perhaps this form of racism (yes Caucasians can be the target of racism)should be eliminated by way of lowering application standards for everyone. Well, if this is not the answer then maybe the standards for the majority should apply to the minority. After all, ethnic backgrounddoesn't determine ability — right? — Dennis Pasco, Accent editor The Western Front Editor: Lisa L.Diaz; Managing Editor: Matt Finlinson; News Editors: Rachel Morrow and Kristen T.

I^^MWir JNT@CC J He #N (g*fr Tws w r%pwes Facultyneeds are as important as new technology, buildings In 1966, former Western President Harvey C.Bunke said, "However excellent buildings, curriculum and facilities may be, our students will never reach their full potential without an imaginative, aggressive faculty ... remember that institutions areindividuals, that human beings are more important than mere system or even than total order." WhenBunke made these statements, Wilson Library had just been remodeled, and Bond Hall was in theplanning stages. Thirty years later, our campus is again going through a major face-lift. Three newscience buildings have just been completed, Wilson Library and Haggard Hall are merging and theComprehensive Master Plan has been submitted to the City of Bellingham for approval. During this timeof major change, we as students must consider if Western is forgetting the most vital component ofour institution — the faculty. Western's faculty salaries sit well below the national average, and nosignificant pay raises are currently scheduled. Vice-president for External Affairs Albert Froderberg saidWestern's faculty, pending budget approval, will receive a pay raise of 3 percent in July. This raisewould be less than half of the requested 7.5 percent. In a letter printed in the April 17, 1997 edition of the faculty staff newsletter, FAST, Faculty Senate President George Cvet-kovlch addressed the subject of faculty raises and the state budget. "The requested (salary) increase would have raised averagesalaries to the Higher Education Board's targeted goal of the 75th percentile of peer institutions. This isstill the goal, but it will not be reached in this biennium," he wrote. ew we r\ ued construct considerfacul Testern has ce buildings, o a rst\ aisesl. We need to consider what will attract professors toWestern and keep them here. Now that Western has three new science buildings, should we race intocontinued construction or stop to consider faculty raises? When asked to respond to Bunke'sstatement, Western President Karen Morse said, "Throughout history, aggressive minds have insisted,and will continue to insist, on being able to use the best available resources which make extensions oflearning possible. "It is our mission as a university recognized for academic quality to attract and retain the best faculty," she said. "Having the latest facilities and technology helps us to do this. Itallows us to provide our faculty, and their students, with the best support possible ..." Whatprofessors should demand is peace and quiet from the construction during classes. They should askwhy playing chicken with the Physical Plant's trucks between classes was not mentioned in their jobdescription. "Facilities and technology complement — they do not replace, nor are they incompetition with — the imaginative, creative minds of the faculty and students," Morse said.Western's administration realizes the importance of long-term planning. After all, looking to the future isan important part of university planning. It seems funny, as every day, students and faculty competewith the on-going construction of the Library and Haggard Hall. Western needs to stop and considerthe status of the faculty. Rewarding them for their work should be a part of any plan the administrationformulates. The administration should be lobbying for a bigger share of tax-dollars and tuition increasesthat benefit the faculty and not the next campus improvement. The faculty challenges us to questionourselves and to strive for knowledge ... it is time to challenge the administration to demonstrate justhow important the faculty really is to Western. fifi^H^lll iiiifi^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^|^[j||g::and.•libelous content.I ^ t ^ : ' m u S t 3 | ^ | j ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^§ ---------- Western Front - 1997 May 16 - Page 15 ---------- Be skeptical of balanced budget pronouncements COMMENTARY Steven Uhles Recently,representatives from the White House and GOP congressional leaders announced they have come upwith a balanced budget — the first since 1969. Yeah right. Who exactly do they think they'refooling? They come on like a pack of used car salesmen, all smiles and handshakes. They tell theAmerican people that everything is cool, it's a done deal. I think what they've devised is not a balancedbudget, but a slick little piece of damage control. Let's look at this thing in a realistic light. For the last two years, this budget has been the grounds for a display of pettiness and back-biting of mythicproportions. Things got so bad they actually shut down the government, as if putting up a gonefishin' sign is an acceptable way to run a country. They broke the first rule of politics — don't piss offyour constituents in an election year. So now they're trying to make nice. Now, as if by magic, thepowers that be expect the American people to believe the budget fairy has come and waved a magicwand and miraculously come up with a fix. The main problem with this little economic clambake ourfearless leaders have cooked up for us is that it is unlikely to actually work. This little budget all butignores the fact that starting around 2002, which is when it should theoretically balance out, the babyboomers will start to retire. When they retire, a large chunk of their income tax and Social Securitypayments are lost.. I wonder who neglected to throw that into the equation. Cash flow — hmmm ...seems important to me. Maybe they think those boomers are so gung ho they'll just work forever. It'sunlikely, though. A lot of people are talking about the tax breaks students will receive under this swellbudget. They tell me I should be happy about it. How long do you think it will be before schools realizethey can raise tuition without pricing themselves out of the market? Well, well, there goes our little taxbonus. Thanks for nothing. The thing is, although it's being hyped as America's New and ImprovedBalanced Budget, it is at the present time considerably less. And this painfully weak document mustgo through congressional appropriations sub-committees before it will even be voted upon. They'rethe guys who are supposed to determine if the thing will even work. N ow wouldn't that be a step to take before proclaiming to a nation of hapless lemmings that the budget is balanced? In addition, 13separate appropriations bills must be passed every year to keep this plan on an even keel. It seemsunlikely our government will be able to pull that off. What we've gotten isn't a balanced budget. All wegot is the wool pulled over our eyes. _ STUDENT PUBLICATIONS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES _Klipsun Editor Fall Quarter, 1997 To Apply: Submit resume and letter of intent by 5/19/97, 5:00 p.m. toChair, Student Publications Council, CH 213.

Mamma and Papa and the six children all loved animals, so they had several pets. Firstwas the dog, an appealing little hound, which they named Canis Familiarsis. The cat was mama's favorite. It was just a little kitten when i t came to stay but they gave it an elephant-sized name, Felis LibycaDomestica. The goat was tame and kind. He would let the littlest children ride on his back. His name was short and easy to pronounce, Capra Hircus. The little bunny-rabbit had a name that only papa couldpronounce. Little bunny was Oryctolagus Cuniculus. When people came to visit and asked why suchbeautiful pets had such frightful names. Mama and Papa and the six children all looked surprised. "Butthese are their right names/' they all exclaimed. "Canis Familiarsis is the. proper name for a dogbecause a dog isn't a Felis Libyca Domestica. They are all proper names." — "But if they are pets, whydon't you give them pet names like Rover and Tommy and Billy and Peter Rabbit?" "Oh, we couldn't dothat. We wouldn't be able to tell them apart. If we called one of them Tommy, we wouldn't know whether it was a dog or a cat. These names are all practical, and we must be practical, you know. Besides if wecalled the jlog Rover, Uncle Oswalt might be offended because We didn't name it for him. So you see'thebest thing to do is to give them RIGHT names from Papa's old- zoology textbook." lm_ At WesternWashington College the students go forth from classroom to activities to classes in several beautifulbuildings all of which have REAL names—the practical kind. The Auditorium-Music building is to becalled that because it isn't the Physical Education building; the Mens Residence hall is called thatbecause it is the Mens Residence hall and not the Arts building. Not beautiful, but mighty PRACTICAL!No Spirit at Glass Meetings With the student body growing ever larger, the importance of the individualclass-—freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior—becomes greater. This is the fundamental, grass-roots unit of student government because everyone can and should have a voice in the, affairs of his orher own class. No class can accomplish anything for which it will be remembered if it is not organized,active, and unified, if it lacks the spirit of teamwork and cooperaton that unites members of a class having so many things in common. This spirit is lacking when meetings are called without previous notice orpublicity and when a mere handful of students show up at the meetings of their respective classes. Ifclass activity is to assume its proper role in the education and extra-curricular activities of collegestudents, more diligent attention must be paid to its development both by the students themselves andby the administrators.

Why—if I'd put a fence'round a coconut tree Starvation would force you to steal from me. "Here is another think a monk won'tdo— Go out at night and get on a stew, Or use a gun or club or knife To take some other monkey's life.

The Council squabble came as a result of a leaflet,, passed out to the students, whichhad the Council on its.masthead. The leaflet was in opposition to the Mundt bill.

Breakfast Food: Part of American CultureBy MARY JANE ZUANICH Practically every country has a dish which is definitely i t s own. Italy isknown for macaroni; China, rice; Germany, sausages; England, crumpets; Spain, tamales; and inAmerica it is probably a draw between the hot dog and breakfast cereals.- In the great United Statesthere is every variety of breakfast cereal imaginable. The type that is "shot from guns," or the kind thatsnaps, crackles, and pops, the biscuit form, or just plain cereal that does nothing but sog up and lie in a heap at the bottom of the bowl. Regardless of what type of cereal you purchase, if it weren't for its many advertising schemes you would probably eat eggs for breakfast. Little Junior will never miss hiscereal because without it hell never be a baseball star like Babe Ruth or Joe Dimtfggio. Or if little Juniordetests baseball and baseball stars he'll still never miss eating his cereal because if he" doesn't hurryand get the box empty his mother won't be able to buy a hew box.

Coming, "Little Women," March 2 JUNIORS TAKE LEAD IN RACE FOR THE GRAND KLINE CUP THE TOTALS NOW STAND JUNIORS. 43; SENIORS. 28 In a keenly contested but somewhat one-sided game, last Wednesday afternoon, the Senior girls met their Waterloo They did not concede victory without resistance, however. The Juniors were forced to earn everyone of their points. The Senior team was not quite up to its regular form, hut they fought with all the energy they possessed throughout the entire game. During the first half of the. game, the hall stayed at the Junior and Senior ends about an equal amount of time. The Junior guards checking as tho their lives depended upon it, held the Senior forwards to one field goal. At the same time at the Junior end of the hall, an equally tense battle raged. When the first half of the game ended, the Jim ior girls had found the basket for four field goals, leaving the score 8-2 in their favor. The Junior team with the beginning of the second half, began functioning like a well-oiled machine. Their forwards handled the ball with lightning rapidity and annexed baskets from almost impossible positions. When the centers of the opposing teams would come in contact with -the ball, honors would be about evenly divided with the Juniors having a slight tho scarcely noticeable advantage. The Junior guards continued the gruelling onslaught which thev had staged in the first half, with- (Continued on Page Two) (Mentor SUNDAY—Feb. 2G. Baccalaureate sermon by Rev. William R.

Little Women " From 3 View Points From Which You May Choose Yours Practically every seat in the Normal Auditorium is represented in the above picture. Futhermore, every section lias a vantage-point allits own. View Number One. Above is pictured the right wing of the balcony. The balcony seats, as everyone knows, are the most popular and, next to the orchestra circle, furnish the best viewpoint in any playhouse. Here you will not need to crane your neck to out-maneuver the cranings of the person in front of you. You will also be able, to appreciate the fine lighting effects and the careful use of cosmetics bv the members of the cast. Viewpoint Number Two. Just below you see the main arrangement of the seats permits a satisfactory view of the movements of the actors. Here the settings will also be seen at their best. Viewpoint Number Three. Yes, the lower cut is supposed to be the left side of the balcony. It would have its say-so in this manner, '"I am the brother of the right wing and I hope to be treated as such. Then they all join hands and say, "All three of us possess the ability of judging the makeups, the acting, the settings and the lighting." ST. MARTIN'S TEAM DEFEATED BY THE L NORMAL VICTORS BY THE CLOSE SCORE OF 25 TO 24 One point decided the game between the Normal basket shooters and the St. Martin's team'from'Lacey, Wash.'Both teams fought hard all the way but when the final whistle blew the Normal team was in the lead by one point, the score being 25 to 24 . With one minute left to play the Normal was leading by three points but Hanley, the College's star forward made a basket, leaving the score 25 to 24, the way it was 'when the game ended. ' Determined to show their followers that they could play real basketball, the Normal team went into the game Avith the "do or die" spirit, and in playing hard all the way, they scored a well-earned victory. The score see-sawed back and forth all thru the game, first one team leading, then the score being tied and again the other team leading. At the end of the first half the St. Martin's team was ahead \6 to 12. Fight Upnill Game. Fighting an uphill game and outplaying their opponents, the Normal team overtook the St. Martin's and then forged ahead, keeping there the rest of the time. Captain Dick Hanley, for the visitors, was the high point man of the game, scoring 20 of his team's 24 points. Van-dcrford was high man for the Normal, with 6' field goals and 5 free throws. The playing of the whole Normal team stood out, much team work and fast passing kept the "Hill. Boys" in the game all the time. Line-up: Normal (25) St. Martin's (24) Vanderford (17) F (20) Hanley Hughes (4) F (2) Fitterer McComas (4) O Moves Fisher G Toner Keplinger G Thompson Subs: Stair (2) for Fitterer; Fit-terer for Stair; Stair for Thompson.

The Normal lost to C. P. S. here early in the season and is going to try hard to win this game to even matters up, and the St. Martin's game of a week ago is still fresh in the boy's memory.

HOPPE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCCESS OF PLAY MR. VICTOR H. HOPPE, Director of Play "Little Women" (By Warren Blaney, Jr.) Mr. Hoppe, dramatic coach, returned just recently from a state tour which, from all angles, lias pointed to success. All his character work and directing is finished enough to do credit to a Belasco. The Normal is very fortunate to have Mr. Hoppe as the dramatic coach. Calls ire coming in at all times for short plays and readings—all of which Coach Hoppe is able to fill to satisfaction. Everybody AVIIO knows Mr. Hoppe's work has compliments upon compliments, and has always shown appreciation for it. Those Avho have not had the good fortune to witness any of the dramatic work of Mr. Hoppe will find in his latest coaching of the Junior's play "Little Women" an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with him. Mr.. Hoppe has coached Shakespearian dramas as well as comedies like the present one, "Little Women." Mr. Hoppe surely deserves credit for the wonderful spirit which he displays in all his work. Come and view his achievement on the evening of March 2. in the Normal Auditorium. The price is thirty-five cents. Every seat will be reserved. Buy your tickets either from the Normal students or the Owl Drug Store. Little Women Papal Lumbago. A current yarn about a liquor-loving Irishman has a smile in it. "Father," said he. on meeting the parish priest one day, "pliwat is lumbago?" Seeing an opportunity for needed reproof the good father replied: "'Tis a terrible disease which comes from drinking up booze and chasing around nights." "Is that so," said Pat. "It says in the paper that the Pope had lumbago." Little Women SOL. With dashes of gold Your portals unfold, You that come from night Thru the portals of light, Decked for a feast As the kings of the East. Do you wonder I sing Like a bird on the wing When I see you uprise To the heights of the skies, Throwing light in a shower Over cottage and tower? The golden-tipped crests Of the mountains a t rest, Lie sheathed in your glow, Golden mounds of snow, They wait for your call Oh, fire-embound Sol. —M. H. Patronize Messenger Adertisers. mtsi Naitmtal Sattk U. S. Depository Member Federal Reserve CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $500,000.00 CAN YOU WAIT FOR THE GRAND EVENT ? (By Warren Blaney) Only six more nights and anxiety Avill have been appeased. Yet six days are six days, and giv us just 144 hours in which to survey the whole matter from A to Z, so here goes.. The Juniors decided that "Little WomciT" should be the play. The cast was selected next and this includes: Jo Helen Goke Meg Janice Turner Amy Byrle Wilson Beth .... Albertina Pearson Hanna Muellett Hazel Hanson Mrs. March Irma Bond Laurie Robert Caulkins Mr. Laurence John Burke Aunt March Katherine Myers Mr. March Charles King Professor Bhaer Walter Ingle John Brooke Warren Blaney Rehearsals were then in order and have been carried on with the earnst-ness of a David Warfild. Mr. Hoppe has been the dramatic coach in the past and once more takes his place of trimming down the cast. The date was set for March 2, which met .with maich approval. Tickets came out on February 15, and began to go like gold bricks, handed out by circus men. Music was arranged for by Mr. Williams. All the seats in the auditorium are situated in good locations. Oh! Everything is ready. Time, fleet by as in Italy and let us have the play! 1 Little Women- The dog stood on the burning deck. "Hot" doggie ?"

Jn America the number of students is limited to. the capacity of the schools. The University of Washington has limited its number. Stanford selects its freshmen candidates and thus, reduces its enrollment. The Normal schools of this state are crowded to capacity. The Bellingham Normal School has the largest enrollment' in its history. This is a cheering indication of progress. It, also, serves notice on the indolent that if they do not push up they will be pushed but. There will be keen competition in the future. The more universal training becomes, the more difficult it -will be for the untrained to get along. In the olden days when a man got into a profession his life was comparatively easy. He did not need to brush up for fear of being brushed aside. Those days are gone. If you arc a lawyer there are hundreds of competent men smiling at your clients. If you are a physician, there are dozens who are as competent and more courteous than you are. If you are an engineer, there are several hundreds of applicants for the job for which you are applying. Making a living may still be comparatively easy, but rising to the head of any profession is going to be harder than it has ever been before. It simply means that a man must work harder than he used to do. When there was only one teacher, or one lawyer for a particular task it was easy to get the job, but. when there are many competent ones the most competent wins and the indifferent ones fail. Such a condition will keep good men working to keep up to the minute in every profession and in every trade. You still have as good a chance as you ever had, but you have to work iiarder to get it. The crowds behind you are setting your pace; they are crowding you; force alieacl or you will be forced out, run ahead or you will be run down. The crowd is crowding you for first place. Little Women—— MISS CASSIE CALBS PAYS NORMAL VISIT Miss Cassie Cales, business manager of the Washington Educational Journal and a former editor of the Klipsun, visited the Normal while on a visit to Bellingham, Friday, and gave us this short message, "It seems so good to be home." It will be remembered that Miss Cales ami Miss Morse, a former faculty member, vorde to Columbia University two years afo. There they remained a year. Miss Cales said that Miss Morse is a student at Columbia this semester, working for her doctor's degree. Miss Cales left for Seattle Friday afternoon to ontinue her work on the Washington Educational Journal. She is also active on an Alumni committee for the preservation of the Bird's Sanctuary.

After playing games for an hour they all adjourned to the cafeteria where refreshments of ice cream and cookies were served. Miss Elsie Shiner then read very delightfully "Napoleon at the Wood Pile" and Miss Bess Marie Alexander gave "A Party in the South." Both of these readings were thoroughly enjoyed by the student. The Valentine box was then opened and the Valentines passed out. When the party closed everyone felt that they had had a good time. Miss Polz is helping the Campfire Girls by teaching them different songs and ceremonials in connection with camp fire work. The 8 B History, class held a very interesting debate on Woman's Suffrage Wednesray morning. The negative side was upheld by Lenora Twitliger, Jimmie Bartell and Raymond Holliday. Eldridge Carr, Teddy O'Hara and Virginia Lee talked for the affirmative and evidently they are the best talkers for the decision was for their side. The Junior High School was invited to the musical program given in assembly last Wednesday. Thanks, Normal, for your invitation. We enjoyed it immensly. : Little Women • A HEROINE. The Class had all assembled, For their English three, that day, i'hey sat there and were modest Making no attempt to play. Then up spoke the gentle teacher, In the low tones which she lends And asked which were the braver, The young ladies or the men. The females declared they were, No male dared disagree, So the teacher called the braver To enact the loathsome deed. Miss Hightower went to the corner, Pulled out the lower drawer. Twenty eyes were glued upon her, Wondering if she'd make a roar. Then in she thrust a deft hand And quickly hauled it out, ditched between thumb and finger Heposed a poor, dead mouse. —C. K.

No, you guessed wrong the first time. It isn't lesson plans. It's trying to"say something that has already been said much better any number of times. Just at first we were going to head this "Pep." No. Even we couldn't stand that. We racked our brain some more and thot of "School Spirit." We tried to imagine you folks wading thru a stretch of print headed "School Spirit." No! It refused to register. Then, on account of its being February and so on, we decided to be honest for a change and call it a rehash. Now, you know what you're in for, so if you don't like the idea, just turn to the back page, where you'll find some jokes. By the shades of Lynn's Essentials, of English, we won't say it. No, we won't. We are going to appeal to you by all that's peppy, by 'all that's school-spirited, by all that's everything, to come to the Tunior play. We irefuse to do it. No such appeal is needed. Here are the facts. The Junior Class play is adapted from a real classic, "Little Women," a book that is going to live simply because it is full to the brim of fun, laughter, tears and real flesh-and-blood people. Mr. Hoppe has selected the cast. Mr. Hoppe is directing the play. Did you ever hear Mr. Hoppe say a thing that wasn't worth saying ? Did you ever know him to do a thing that wasn't worth doing? No, certainly not. Forget school spirit and pep. They're no reasons for coming to the play. Come to have a good laugh and a go'od cry. Come to get your money's worth and more, too. The play's the thing. —"Little Women"— ANOTHER BORE Tille is plural and she's getting to be too many for us. She's always up to some sort of mischief. She makes fun 'of anybody who acts as if he were going somewhere to do something. She laughs at anybody who accomplishes anything, and says he's trying to "show off." She calls a certain group the "office-holding gang" and never votes for anybody '"Cause some of that gang will get in anyway." Now, Tillie, you listen to us. You represent the unknown number of people we're driving at. You think that anybody who signs a song, gives a reading, writes a story, holds an office or takes part in a play is trying to "show off." Well, perhaps he is. Isn't that all right ? Showing off is a perfectly go'od instinct. The trouble with you, Tillie, is that you won't show off. You could sing a song, write a story, conduct a campaign or hold an office, too, if you tried.' But you won't try. No! You settle back in your chair and say "Aw, she's just showing off." Sing a song. We'll listen. Write a story. We'll print it. Conduct a campaign or hold an office. We'll support you. But, for goodness sake, if you won't do anything yourself, idon't stand back and croak at those who will. —"Little Women"— EXPOSTULATION.

Someone rises to suggest that 'applicants for the editorship of the Messenger be given a tryout.

Will someone please put that in the form of a motion ? -—"Little Women"— Once upon a time, many years ago, there was an instructor who sometimes read and corrected papers and returned them promptly.

Meek, preceptress of Edens Hall, as she expressed her pride in the now dormitory and her work in it. Being the guardian of the welfare and. happiness over four hundred girls requires a great deal of efficient management and human sympathy. Miss Meek has both and also very intensive training. She is a specialist in human nutrition, having taken all of the work in Home Economics given by the University of Minnesota, the University of Washington, and'the University of Chicago. For two years she was employed by the government as a food specialist. Miss Meek plans to Avork out a, diet which will produce the highest degree of health and efficiency in a student. Miss Meek, with the Irish, believes in home rule. She has established a system by which the girls elect a president and council who attend to all matters of discipline. The girls like this system and under the guidance of Miss Meek, are endeavoring to always keep Edens Hall the "Home, of Color and Light." Little Women Heard in Manual Training Department.

I'm only telling you this because I know it won't go any farther. I wouldn't have it get out for the world. Ellen told me that another girl told her that a certain group had attempted a party. Attempted is the word. It was to be one of those little get-togethers for which Normal students are noted. Only one of the group Knew the hostess or had ever been at her home. This one, initials JSF. G., was a sort of irresponsible person who imagined that parties just happened, tsni defoa . /f parties just happened, instead of being pre-arranged. She casually told the group that they were invited to a party, Saturday night and that they might bring "eats." "Where?" they inquired. "Goodness, I don't know!" "Well, we really ought to know where to come, you know." "Well, if you're going to be so fussy, I suppose I'll have to get the address." She did. "G. II. has' a car. He might drop around ami pick us all up," said M. M. "Good idea! We'll all give him our addresses." They did. Saturday morning came. G. 2ST., the irresponsible, began to have a horrible suspicion that she had given them the wrong address. She called up the prospective hostess and inquired. Alas and alack! It was 2412, not 1414, Obvious Street. Xo, there wasn't any 1414; just a vacant lot at that number. G. X. kept poor Miss Rice busy trying to locate G. 11. or some of the crowd. Finally she captured M. M. and told her the right address. M. M. said she's tell the rest. All was tranquil. Saturday night was bleak and unpromising, with a north wind, three inches of snow and more coming. (Here I might indulge in some touching description but I'll spare you). At the home of the hostess were gathered a certain nice faculty member, a non-jNTormalitc young man and G. JST. They were engaged in _ a 'heated discussion about something or other. (The editor wanted to do some cutting just here but we wouldn't let her. Criticism is good for -the soul.) "Say, who runs your paper up there? The name kills it. The Messenger! Sounds like a Sunday-chool leaflet. You ought to get a real name.—" "Its a perfectly good name. Its quite a conservative paper and—" "If you don't like the name, suggestions are in order. Just mention a name and the board will be'sure to adopt it, and—" And so on. At about ten-thirty they awoke. ''Heavens, what time is it?" "Where's the party?"

They called up an Edens Hall girl. She was out. Consternation! Mysteiy, accident, crime! At eleven o'clock the party had still failed to materialize. The faculty member, the non-2STormalite and G. N. decided that they were the party and departed, still arguing. Monday morning dawned. G. N. searched vainly for some of the crowd. Three of them were at home with the Flu. They had not started out for the party. Three more had decided that it was too stormy—or, rather, their mothers had so decided. One boy had been stranded out in the country with a puncture. A girl had been called home. And so on. G. X. Pounced on M. M. "How, why, when and wliere?" she demanded. Said M. M.: "G. E. .couldn't get his car .started, after he called for me. We knew that lived at the Dorm so we got her. When we got down town the cars had stopped and all three of us had forgotten the address. We didn't feel equal to hunting up the rest of them, and we didn't know where to phone you. We gave rip and went to a show." Talk about a Comedy of Errors. Now, you have just three chances to guess who the group were. Not the Messenger Class. Do you suppose we'd print this if it were? Not the lied Headed club. They couldn't get lost if they tried. Not the Scholarship Committee. There are only three of them. And that's your last guess. Of course, you understand that this is all very confidential and on no circumstances to be repeated.

Normal TSBUB I This is just another proof that B. S. 1ST. S. is the very finest Normal in the state. Dr. Miller, who has just returned from his vacation, states that everyone, everywhere, knows of Bellingham State Normal School. Some even thought it was the only Normal in the state. Dr. Miller visited the school for the Blind, at Vancouver, B. C.,'where one little girl wrote his name in the blind script. He reports the school in a splendid condition. The children are well taken are of'and are instructed in various trades. There are less than one hundred students attending the college at the present time and the grades range from the kindergarten to high school. The contrast in the appearance of the trees of Washington and Oregon struck Dr. Miller forcibly. Oregon has very few fir trees. The deciduous trees which are found there are covered with a grayish- green moss, which looks very much like foliage from a distance. Dr. Herre writes from the bureau of science in Manila that he is enjoying his work very much, but that he misses '•'my enthusiastic arid earnest students and my colleagues." He is now concerned in getting out a scientific piece of Avork which Avill take two or three years. Miss Faye Bruneau, a 1921 student, writes en route to Chile, South America. She 3ays, "I am one of a party of six missionaries en route to South America, One of the young ladies is going to the same school that I am. We stop at Callao, Mollendo, before-reaching Iquique, I am very anxious to arrive at the seliool and begin my Avork." Miss Louyse Dahl gave a Valentine partv for the J-mger Hall girls last week.

He shook his head, I knew he would, With the unrest in his soul, go back he never could, He thanked me kindly, picked up his load. He'd soon forget my story, I knowed. The last words he said when lie left me alone Were, "I'll get it if I stay 'till I harden to stone. I'll go bilk to my home, but not unless I've taken from earth her very best." He turned to go, I said, "My boy let your faith lead." "Yes?" he said; "that's always been my creed." Then out and away he swung from my sight Leaving me 'lone, with God and the Night. —M. M.

By RAY BURKECollegian Managing Editor Three phases or President Johnsons" "Great Society" were initiated thissummer at Western in the iorm of one National Defense Women's ChcmgingRoh By BOB GRAHAMCollegian Staff Reporter "I don't know much about women, but I know what I like." But he did— knowabout women, that is. Speaking on campus Wednesday night to a packed audience on an ever popularsubject, Dr. Page Smith, of the University of California at Santa Cruz, delivered the second in a seriesof three lectures on American History. His topic, "What Happened to the Women in American History."Skimming lightly over America's past, Dr. Smith told of the female's frequently changing role insociety, and of the many attempts made to alter her status and individual rights. In the days of earlysettlement, observed Dr. Smith, the women who came to America were often of shady character, andbecause of their scarcity and necessity to the infant communities, no explicit rules on female rightswere established. In Colonial Amsrica, men and women were necessary to each other, with womanenjoying wide legal rights and taking a large part in the total economy of the community. The19th century, Smith added, saw the extremes in opinions on female status. There were those who feltthat women were sub- DR. PAGE SMITH servient to- man and should act accordingly. There were, also, axe-swinging, hymn chanting ladies, stamping through the streets of many a young city demandingmore attention and equal rights. Smith spent some time looking at women in a contemporary setting.He noted that women today, who earn one-fifth of the nation's income, have regained their colonialstatus, and as a result, man has become a figure of diminished " position. A quick look at the statisticsshews that 87 per cent of American men assist their wives with the housework, and 71 per cent doat least some of the cooking. "Such mutuality," said Dr. Smith, "is new in society." Dr. Smith pointed out that too often the female of the past is pushed aside as an insignificant footnote. We should bemore concerned with the girls of yester- See 'WOMEN' P-2 Education Act institute and two. office ofEconomic Opportunity projects. Western's participation in the new educational programs include a nineweek NDEA institute for teachers and supervisors of economically andi culturally deprived students,a "Project Overcome" for high school students form economically trying environments, and a"Project Head-start" for socially disadvantaged pre-school children. The NDEA granted the college$67,000 for the teacher institute according to Dr. Max Higbee, director for the institute. He explained that the institute is designed for teachers, principals, and guidance personnel who work withdisadvantaged, students. Of the 480 teacher applicants, 50 were selected by a committee fromWestern. "They were selected on the basis of at least a B.'A. degree, three years, teaching experienceand a need for more experience and understanding of disadvantaged students for future teachingassignments," Higbee said. INSTRUCTORS FOR the institute include Dr. Phillip Freed-man, HunterCollege, New York, who has worked with students in the Bronx; Dr. Lawrence Douglas, Western; Dr.Vernon Hau-brich, Western; Mrs. Dorothy -Knuts-eri., Bellingham Public Assistance Office, and.Phillip Claymore, Marysville, who has worked with various Indian groups. "The trainees so far have showna lot of interest and have good deal of knowledge and experience. We hope to have another institute soon," Higbee stated. "Project Overcome" is a nine week summer program financed with $50,000from the Office of Economic Opportunity designed for high school students who have academic potentialbut lack economic and social motivation for college level work. "The project is a war against the waste of talent. We hope to raise their level of aspiration through this project," Dr. Thomas Billings, Co-Director for the project explained. Dr. Peter Elich is the other Co-Director, who will be supervising theresearch aspects of the project. The three year project is to prepare 100 high school juniors forcollege entrance by fall, 1967. More money will be granted for the following two summer's work as it isneeded, according to Billings. "If the project has achieved its goal—successful preparation of thestudents for college work —the college will consider making the program a regular part of college life,"stated: Dr. Billings. More money from the Office Of Economic Opportunity would be possible, at a laterdate he implied. The students were selected frGrn several Seattle and Tacmna public schools andvarious Indian reservations around the State. The students are studying reading and composition,American literature, math, science, history, and art. There are four full-time instructors, three full timecounselors, and four student tutors working with the students.

'* Of all the thousands of critical essaysprepared on Viet Nam in recent months, the Cavalier magazine article entitled "The Hawks and DovesOver Viet Nam," by noted author Eugene Bur-dick, deserves some serious consideration. Burdick, co-author of " T h e . Ugly American" and "Fail Safe," presents one of t h e most sensible methods for w i nn i n g t h e Vietnamese w a r t h a t we have stumbled across t o date. H e suggests four steps ofaction t o c r u s h t he Viet Cong w i t h i n 18 months: 1. A recognition by the Pentagon that the Viet Cong are skilled and tough. 2. Give our troops some "peasant support." The high brass, convinced thatthe GI - has l i t t le political interest, does nothing to encourage contacts between the Vietnamesepeasants and our soldiers. The real fact is that, wording w i t h medicines, seed, somf cartoonbooks in Vietnamese, and a f ew small gifts, Americans]; could start to .build the peasant supportwhich is vital. .3. Bring out appropriate aircraft. Our present planes are either too young or too old. We need a plane that can take off from a football field or 300 feet of dusty road, carry eight tons ofarmament, fly as s l ow as 80 miles an hour, accelerate up to 400 and has armor plate around the pilotand g a s tank. 4. New tactical weapons. It , just so happens that what the lt; troops need, the radar,infrared, ^ laser and other miscellaneous specialists could supply. Bui no one has asked them. EugeneBurdick's p l a n seems feasible. and if it in a n y w a y c a n e n d t h e w a r 1 in our favor, then it should be given ; serious attention. Burdick's final words are important: "America has a stupendous scientificand technological c u l t u r e which could produce devices which would radically a l t e r t h e w a r inViet N am a n d A s i a and, perhaps later, in Africa in our favor. We do not u s e o u r a d v a n t a g ebecause of a v e r y simple principle: G e n e r a l s a nd admirals tend to fight every w a r in t e r m s oft h e l a s t war,"—J. R. Stolpe.

I don-tblame them; if my.home town was dying on the vine I to wouldn't mind seeing the state *,cbme in andbuild a multi-millioirdollar institution. The committee has gone to the expense of printing, • what istermed as "elaborate studies," to prove, that northern central Snohomish County is the tmly practical location. Their so called report is so full of holes that it is unbeiieveable. As an example the Arlington report refers to a previous report written by the Council of Washington State College and University Presidents thai calls for the next»jfour year institution to be built'west of "the -Cascades. What theArlington report forgets to point out is that the Presidents report specifically- states, "SouthwesternWashington, except for a small private religious college, is deprived iof the. presence of any four yearinstitution." The Council of Presidents went on to ask that the., 1965 Legislature appoint a Baard ofTrustees for the future institution to "con-duet* studiess|ii«4^#^^#^ exact location and to developplans for another state college in West- - • . . • : • _ 1 Vico-M* ICopies - . i . ..'''••''_'; - ' .

Hereagain the 1965 Legislature dropped the ball. Instead of apr pointing qualified personnel they so gallantlyformed a committee among themselves to decide the future site. ( Another important educationaldecision has been taken from the hands of educators and placed in the hands of politicians. At any ratethe city of Arlington is still trying like hell to get the "nod from the state. Their latest play was to getthe Seattle City Council to endorse their location. The Council may regret this move before long. Even though their arguments are full of holes big enough to drown in, Arlington still deserves to becommended for a good try. I only hope that deserving cities like Vancouver, Longview-Kelso, or evenOlympia go as far in their generousity as Arlington has and offer the state free land, good access roads,free water, ect. This money saved could be well spent on providing for a top notch faculty at the newinstitution.

Lallas, director of the placement center. Special education,industrial arts, music, library science, reading improvement and counseling are some specialized areasin education which still offer good placement opportunities, the report said. Because the job market forcollege graduates remains competitive, employers are demanding better qualified applicants and areplacing more emphasis upon quality preparation. Wherever possible, military veterans have been hired.Women applicants have also been given excellent consideration and their salary offers are reported tohave been almost equal to those offered to men. Western's teacher graduates reported placementthroughout many school districts in Washington as well as out of state, particularly in Oregon andAlaska. A few also found teaching positions on the east coast. Actual placement for the teachergraduates increased for the second consecutive year. This year over 10,000 job opportunities werelisted by the center. The complete placement report is available in the reference room of the library aswell as at the Career Planning Placement Center in Edens Hall.

Robert Keller, Fairhavenfaculty member said this Wednesday at Fairhaven Auditorium in a debate with Hugh Fleetwood of thephysics department, on whether the American ROBERT KELLER Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) shouldtake an active role to impeach the president. Fleetwood thought the ACLU should take an active role.Keller argued the opposite. Both are ACLU members. Keller said that power structures, notpersonalities, determine a society's civil liberties. Nixon's removal is not as important as changingAmerica's institutions, he argued. Fleetwood said that Nixon has damaged civil liberties as much as any president in history, justifying the ACLU's involvement. Both men stated vehemently that Nixon shouldbe impeached. They debated whether the ACLU, a traditionally non-partisan organization, should pushfor Nixon's impeachment. Keller stated five main points besides his belief that it is more important toattack institutions and not their figurehead. 1) By concentrating on impeachment, the ACLU is divertingtoo much effort from its traditional mission of defending free speech, due process of law, etc. 2) TheACLU is supporting impeachment in an effort to gain members. 3) The ACLU would lose credibility if itgot involved in a drive by Democrats to impeach a Republican president. 4) The ACLU's decision wasprompted by personal animosities against Nixon. 5) Civil liberties come from the constitution not majority will. Therefore, the ACLU should not get involved in an attempt to whip up opinion against Nixon.Fleetwood replied that not all the ACLU's resources are focused on impeachment. He said the ACLU islitigating in all its traditional areas. "No serious job is being left undone." He also said that the ACLU wasnot motivated by a drive to attract members. In our attack on Nixon, we are just taking advantage of agood opportunity to build membership, he said. On whether the ACLU would lose credibility if theyengage in partisan politics, Fleetwood said that partisan politics are unavoidable because congress willdecide to impeach the president. Fleetwood said that it was a "happy coincidence that the president wehate happens to be impeachable." He was replying to Feller's contention that the ACLU's decision toimpeach the President was prompted by Nixon-haters. "Nixon has established an anti-civil libertarianclimate that has been going on for six years," Fleetwood said. "LBJ started it in Vietnam, but Nixon didthe most to build it up." "Nothing would be better for the country than for Nixon to be impeached," headded. HUGH FLEETWOOD inside...

State Patrol Chief WillBachofner urged legislators to: -establish an age limit for hitchhiking of 16 years for men andaccompanied women, or 18 years for unaccompanied women; —make it illegal to hitchhike after dark,except in cases of emergency; —give police the authority to require identification of hitchhikers, and—appropriate funds for a public information campaign on hitchhiking, and for the creation of rider booths and pick-up points. Whatcom County representative Dan Van Dyk supported the existing hitchhikinglaw, saying, "People who hitchhike know the risk is there and they are willing to accept it." Van Dykmaintained each individual should be allowed to decide for himself the question of hitchhiking. Opposition to hitchhiking came from the Committee Against Hitchhiking and state senators Kanoblok, Peterson,and Rasmussen, proponents of the bill to repeal legalized hitchhiking. Hitchhiking opponents contendthat many crimes and traffic accidents can be linked to hitchhiking. ---------- Western Front - 1974 January 25 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Friday,' Jan. 25,' 1 74 Presidential Go/fz favors search group phased cuts seeks namesEveryone at Western is encouraged to help select Western's next president. President Charles J. Flora, who submitted his resignation last spring, will return to the biology department by September 1975.Students may submit the names of qualified individuals in writing, including a summary of theirqualifications, along with their own names. Everyone is also encouraged to recommend colleagues andacquaintances at other institutions of higher education. Any recommendations or questions can betaken to the Presidential Search Committee office, 342 Wilson Library, phone 3117. A new plan toreduce college budget cuts has been proposed by State Rep. Barney Goltz and a subcommittee of theHouse Ways and Means Committee. The plan would reduce by one-third the amount of money withheld from Western by the state legislature in September, and would provide for a more gradual, phasedreduction of funding for state colleges. If approved, phased reduction would mean an extra $1 million forWestern this year, which could be used to fund student services and retain some faculty members.Goltz said the plan might be approved by the January legislature, and that " i f students feel it is in theirinterest that the reduction of faculty members be done in phases, they should write or call theirlegislators to support this plan." Geography took heavy cuts, says pink-slipped professor PATMILLEGAN end of Spring by When the quarter rolls around, Roy Whitaker is going to have to look forwork somewhere else. He's one of the seven full-time faculty members whose employment here hasbeen terminated after this year's budget cuts. Although most of the departments have been hit by thecuts, Whitaker feels that the geography department took more than its share of the beating. "Of the 12full-time positions, a total of four have been eliminated," he said. "I was the only one fully terminated,but others in the department have taken 50 per cent pay reductions in order to absorb the cuts. Thesepeople really deserve a lot of credit." 'Jews for Jesus' meet in lounge byBILLDEWITT Can Christianity be kosher? The six-member singing group, The Liberated Wailing Wall, says yes. As a part of a larger more nebulous organization known as "Jews for Jesus," The Liberated Wailing Wall has traveled nationallywhile in the midst of controversy. "Jews for Jesus" holds the New Testament account of Jesus to be true, while still holding to their Jewishness. The Liberated Wailing Wall will perform Monday at 7 p.m. in theVU Lounge. Admission is free. " I t ' s not a novel new kick," group-member Stuart Dauermann told theBaltimore Sun. "The Jewishness of Jesus is a neglected Biblical fact. We do consider ourselves to beJews. Dauermann, who graduated from the Manhattan School of Music with a master's degree in musiceducation, writes the group's music which has been best described as "jewish-folk music." TheLiberated Wailing Wall, who derive their name from the wailing wall in Jerusalem, have been a subject ofcontroversy wherever they traveled, and have received murder threats. Even newspaper articlesconcerning the movement have brought charges of anti-Semitism against both the writer and the paper.However, an apparent number of young people feel that there can be "Jews for Jesus." A rabbi on theUCLA campus estimated that about 6,000 to 7,000 young Jews are embracing Christianity. TheLiberated Wailing Wall continues to play and share their message wherever they can, despite oppositionand meager financial resources. "Jesus is what makes some of us want to be more Jewish," one of their tracts reads. "We believe more than ever in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the survival of theJewish people and in the divine establishment of the state of Israel .. . Jesus might make you kosher."One of the six-member singing group. ^ classifieds ^ 10. MISC. FOR SALE •STEREO SYSTEMSWHOLESALE* Shure M91 Ed list $54.95. Your cost' $21.99.

His will expire sometime late this year. The visa conditions state thatonce a visa is granted, another one cannot be obtained for two more years. "Being an un-tenured faculty member here, my position is somewhat shakey," Whitaker said. "But even if I were not laid off, it wouldbe difficult to get a visa extension. Being un-tenured makes me an obvious target. My visa statusmakes it worse." This is Whitaker's first teaching job, and he says he has no real regrets about it "Thefirst year was really difficult. It's a fine art to retain a student's interest five days a week. I know becauseit wasn't that long ago that I was on the other side of the desk." "This year I'm much more prepared,relaxed. The facilities are far better, my knowledge scope is greater and the classes are the ones I'mmost adept at teaching. Things overall are far better, considering it a l l ." But everything isn't all roses.There will probably be an appeal by most of the seven laid off to challenge the legality of the action. Thecase itself may become a test case to determine this type of action in the future. As for the future,Whitaker will be forced into finding another job and the teachers market today is a tight one."Everyone's upset when one loses a job he wanted to keep," he said. " I t means most likely packing upmy roots and moving to some other part of the country. I'll probably look for a job in Canada somewhere. It's just hard to leave when you feel you're just getting settled." r Federal aid doubled v. Federal aid tostudents going to Western has doubled this year, according to Wayne Sparks, assistant director of theFinancial Aids Office. The increase, from $550,000 to slightly over $1 million, is distributed todependent students in need of financial assistance. The allocated money was based on Health,Education bill signed by President Richard Nixon earlier this year. Sparks said the funds are distributed through the financial aid office in the form of Equal Opportunity Grants, National Defense Student Loans and the college work-study program. Faculty meet to revise job security handbook Only ten membersof the Western faculty attended Wednesday's meeting called by George Gerhold concerning drafting arevision to the Faculty Handbook. Student salary raises discussed Schedule changes that couldincrease the salaries of some students employed on campus were discussed at last Tuesday's meetingof the College Services Council (CSC). Council Chairman C.W. " B i l l " McDonald said the school isconsidering changing the present system, under which students work for $1.88 per hour, to one wheretheir salary would depend on length of service. Under the present system a pay check could be for aslittle as $2 or $3 for a two-week period of work, McDonald said. Under the proposed system, jobdescriptions for various positions in different departments would be prepared, and the salary woulddepend on the type of job. The longer students worked, the larger their salaries would become. This has been tried at other schools, including Central Michigan and Stanford, McDonald pointed out. TheFaculty Handbook outlines what the faculty should expect in terms of procedures, hiring andadministrative practice. Gerhold is chairman of the Faculty Council which is now revising the handbook."Maybe you don't call it collective bargaining," Gerhold said about negotiating changes in the handbook,"but in essence what you are doing is negotiating at least part of the contract." Sexuality workshopscheduled A workshop dealing with human sexuality will be sponsored by the Drug Education Projecttomorrow and Sunday. The workshop will be an interview introduction aimed for those coming for thefirst time. The focus will be on several key aspects of human sexuality including sexual behavior,personal and impersonal sex and sex roles. The conference, to be held at Fairhaven College, will cost$4.00.

Western Front .3 Thirty bucks for a hitchhikers license? It would be cheaper to take the bus. commentary Administration not to blame It's easy to see that it's "Get Jerry Flora" season.Practically everyone seems to be yelping about what a cruddy job of handling the budget crisis theschool administration is doing. "The administrators are cutting back teachers. They're ruining oureducation. I'm not going to go to Western next year because this lousy administration is screwing thingsup." These kinds of comments show the deep thinking required by a hockey puck. If you don't have allthe facts about what you're talking about, then don't show your ignorance. Admittedly President Flora has some of the not-so-inspiring qualities of Richard Nixon but, believe it or not, he and the otheradministrators are doing something about the budget crunch even if the students aren't. You studentsmay ask, what are we supposed to do? First, you'll have to get it through your thick skulls that the statelegislature had a hell of a lot more to do with this mess than anyone else. The legislators were the oneswho decided the percentage of full-time equivalencies (FTEs) to be reduced and how many years thecolleges have to sustain losses of revenue. The statement has been made many times that theadministration has been doing a lousy job of representing the college in the legislature. "They've beenhiding this crisis under the rug and haven't been doing anything about it." Now this is the type ofstatement which shows a very shallow, if not non-existent, understanding of the administration's efforts.On Nov. 19 of last year, Western sent six representatives to speak before the Senate Way's and MeansCommittee and the Committee of Higher Education. Representatives from all the state colleges wereinvited. Most schools sent two or three people to give often vague and unsure explanations of why theywanted more time to sustain these budget cuts. When it came around for Western's turn to speak, thephalanx of college representatives, including Jerry Anderson, academic vice president, Don Cole, college business manager, and John Wolfe, AS president, gave very specific explanations as to what the college is doing and what it needs. The people who weren't at the meeting will never know the impact ofAnderson's recitation of the exact number of positions each and every department will lose. It wasobvious after that short drama that each and every person in that room felt the effects of the cuts theyhad been talking about. Western speakers got their points across. And they got them across bypresenting a cross-section of speakers which included faculty, administrators and students. John Wolfewas the only student from any of the colleges to speak at the meeting. Yes, students, we wererepresented. If Western's insterests weren't adequately represented at that meeting they never will be. Itwas generally acknowledged by the legislators that Western had the most complete and comprehensivereduction-in-force plans of any school in the state. No, the people to bitch at aren't the administrators.The legislators are the ones to be hassled. If you haven't contacted your state legislator then you areabdicating your right to be heard and letting the administration speak for you and you have no cause tobitch at what the administration is forced to do by our fearless leaders in Olympia.

Ai-»wi«r-r» •• « •_ ADVISER:Jim Schwartz In 1969, the Cuyahoga River, which flows through Cleveland, Ohio, caught fire for the firsttime. But not the last. "There's a red moon rising on the Cuyahoga River Rolling into Cleveland to thelake." The Cuyahoga River is the most polluted river in the United States. It flows through some of theheaviest industrial areas in the country. Many of the acids dumped from mills and factories into the riverare neutralized by the caustic chemicals dumped downstream, by more mills and factories. "There's anoil barge wind in' down the Cuyahoga River rolling into Cleveland to the lake." The Cuyahoga flows intoLake Erie. Lake Erie is virtually dead. A large commercial fishery of years past was destroyed bypollution by the 1940s. "Cleveland, city of light, city of magic Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me."The air in Cleveland is so bad that it eats the paint off cars and houses. Gray is a common color there. In the 1950s teenagers played "chicken" by running automobiles at each other on a road at top speed. Thedriver of the first car to swerve was "chicken." Some didn't swerve, and died. In Cleveland, kids today dare each other to swim across the Cuyahoga. The river isn't very wide, but some of the kids don't live through the experience. If they make it across, they later die of various poisons. "Cleveland, even now I canremember Cause the Cuyahoga River goes smoking through my dreams," Tour boats travel through theindustrial heart of the port of Cleveland. People aren't allowed to smoke because of the danger of firecaused by a butt carelessly tossed overboard. "The Lord can make you tumble the Lord can make youturn the Lord can make you overflow but the Lord can't make you burn." The lyrics are from the song"Burn On," by Randy Newman. I've heard that radial tires help improve gas mileage. Is this true, and if so, how? —C.P. According to manufacturers and Consumers' Union, radial tires can improve gas mileage a few percentage points, depending on the brand. Any tire with good tread gets better mileage than tireswith tread worn because of better traction. Radials apparently give better performance in this category aswell as' in handling if properly installed, according to manufacturer's specifications. The gas savings maynot seem like much, but with gas averaging close to 50 cents per gallon, it does make a difference. A few percent could also make the difference nationwide between mandatory rationing and voluntary savings,even though rationing looks pretty likely. letters Front misinterprets chairman's actions Editor, Western Front: In your issue of Jan. 15 you state that as a conciliatory move, I presented a proposal to theBoard of Directors. My presentation of the organization of the "Student Policy Council" was in no waymeant as a conciliatory move. It was meant to help the problem of the relationship between the all-College Senate and the Associated Students. This has been a continuing problem and hopefully at least a partial solution will be found when the constitution is modified in the next couple of months. TheWestern Front should be more careful in interpreting the actions of individuals. The problems of theBoard of Trustees not giving sufficient recognition to differing views is not unique to the AssociatedStudents. Similar dissatisfaction has been expressed by the faculty. Last year the Board of Trusteesignored the senate's proposed reorganization of the college of arts and sciences and adopted PresidentFlora's plan. Several faculty members resigned from the senate due to the failure of the trustees tolisten to the advice of the senate. Although a few trustees said at the time that they were willing tolisten to members of the senate, very little was actually done to alleviate the problem. These problemswill not be solved without a significant change in the attitudes of the Board of Trustees and thepresident. Unfortunately, recent actions give little hope of such a change.

Program Commission ---------- Western Front - 1974 January 25 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Friday, Jan. 25,1974 Dorms active despite cuts by BECKY FOX Dorms are a fact oflife, and the continual effort to make them a better place to live has been a fact of life for a lot of people,for a long time. Western's residence hall program (RHP) became a single entity in 1966 with its firstsingle-man office in the Viking Union. Since then, RHP has grown to include more than 40 peoplestriving to better student living situations. This year, the state legislature cut the funds used for campushousing and dining by one-third, leaving Western another obstacle to hurdle. The salaries of residentaides were cut in half, and the staff reduced from 45 to 32. Like the energy crisis however, the cut-backin funds may result in some necessary redefining of values for the RHP. Rick Davis, resident director ofHigginson Hall, doesn't think the cut-back has actually hurt the program. "You don't need 80 people in a program to fulfill its goals," Davis said, "the program's success or failure cannot be attributed or blamed on a specific cause of money or staff size, but it will work from the quality of the people involved."Higginson Hall suffered the loss of two staff members from the lowering of funds. Despite lessmanpower, the aides are doing the same job, only the dollar sign has changed. Keith Guy, director ofRHP at Western since 1968, said the FREE bunch of baby Ohawaiian wood rose^ WITH EVERYPURCHASE OF A OGRO-LUX LIGHTandFIX^RE with this ad ^ 1 BAY ST VILLAGE 301 W. HOLLY6761070 26SUnSHOPPE program must now attempt to reorganize and redefine its positions to allow the program to survive without exorbitant raises in dorm rates. The legislature's budget cut was seen as anindication that the students should be supporting the program's staffing through their own housing fees to relieve the burden from the state. Before the aides' salaries were cut in half, aides were not allowed totake jobs anywhere else, it was a full time job. Now, to make up for the pay cut, many aides are working part-time elsewhere and just can't devote themselves entirely to the dorm. Ridgeway Delta escapedany injury this year and, in fact, gained another staff member. Delta is on a specialized programbecoming academically oriented, including occasional live-in professors and a resource library. Onechange it has felt from the cut-back is a change in its usual format of one aide on duty a night in eachdorm. New aides are assigned to "area duty" involving one aide each night for all of Delta, Alpha,Omega, Sigma, and Highland with one emergency phone. 1 ECOLOGY KITS | | MATERIALS |HOBBY HIVE 8 S 111 E. Magnolia S campus beat ^J DRUG ED PROGRAM is sponsoring CAREERS EXPLORATION MINI-WORKSHOP SERIES PERSONAL GROWTH MINI-WORKSHOP SERIES FORMORE INFORMATION CALL THE DRUG ED PROGRAM - 3243 by JACK BROOM A Western Front task force will be on hand this weekend to cover what may be the deadliest battle this campus has everseen; the death toll may climb into the thousands. I was alerted to the upcoming conflict yesterdaywhen I found the following memo on my desk: "Bond Hall is being fumigated for flies this weekend.Might be interesting." (See page 2 today) As news editor, I realized that it was my responsibility toimmediately plan for coverage of the battle, assembling our most courageous reporters andphotographers. "Staff," I told them, "some of you may not be coming back. Still others may be comingback with chigger bites." Undaunted, the crew was split up into two teams, one to cover the aggressors,the sinister chemical warfare group known as Insect-Aside, and the other team to get personal interviewswith the defending I.R.A., (Insects' Resistance Army). Due to the magnitude of this assignment, we wereforced to pull some of our reporters off less important stories (the legislature deciding to close thecollege, 14 teachers arrested in anti-Flora plot, Richard Nixon speaking in L-4 .. . minor stuff) andconcentrate on this scheduled genocide. Three researchers were assigned to do a history of bug combaton this campus dating back to the days when the college was called a "normal" school because it hadonly the normal amounts of termites and cockroaches in the dormitories, classrooms and casseroles.Within two hours, several of our reporters were back at work on their "advances" in which both sidesoffered grim predictions of the weekend battle. The print shop crew readied for the production of an"Extermination Extra." "The flies will be dropping like bodies," forecasted I.M. Brutal, information ministerfor Insect-Aside. Meanwhile, Wing Buzz, I.R.A. general, offered the following quote: "Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." From the beginning, Insect-Aside, (I-A) agents were confidently predicting a total victory by 8 a.m.Monday. And while our reporters were told to be skeptical of the astronomical "body-counts" which maybe released, it was learned that I-A troops were ordered to take no prisoners and accept no surrenders.Up in the ceilings of Bond Hall, the bugs were busily trying to recruit an army, drafting all army ants andsoldier termites. Also, a group of praying mantises have scheduled a spiritual hour for dawn tomorrow.The picture indeed looks bleak for the insects, and last word was that they were making eleventh-hourpleas for assistance from the U.N., the U.S., the S.P.C.A. and Euell Gibbons.- But the last shred ofinsect hope vanished when the reply came back from the army after the Bay of Pigs invasion, the U.S.Army no longer handles animal operations.

Viking basketball has been characterized by a particular playing style, Tuesday's 49-44 win overthe Clansmen ot Simon Fraser University was a classic example of "Randall style" basketball. The Viks fell as far as 13 points behind in the first half, before they began to apply Randall's theories of the game in an almost flawless manner. Trailing 26-13 with five minutes left, the Vikings began to apply Randall'spatented swarming defense and patient patterned offense to close the gap to seven points by the end ofthe half. The second half was dominated by the Randall defensive philosophy as the potent SFU attack was held to a miniscule 14 points. The last six and a half minutes were textbook Randall. Westerncompletely shut out the Clan while taking only Mat men to face top conference foes Wrestling coachRick Iversen is excited about this weekend's road trip east of the mountains, and little wonder why.
