Robert Ross has been Western's president nearly four years. Now, according to university policy, Ross will be evaluatedby the Board of Trustees. Graduate School Dean Samuel Kelly, who is assisting the trustees with theevaluation, said 200 questionnaires soon will be sent to a cross-section of the university community toassess Ross' performance as Western's chief administrative officer. That cross-section will includesenior administrative officers, department chairpersons, present and past Associated Studentpresidents and some present board members, a sampling of junior and senior faculty, andrepresentatives from the Western Foundation, the Alumni Association and the community. While thequestionnaires are to be submitted anonomously, respondents will be asked to identify the segment ofthe university community they represent, Kelly said. The questionnaires will be summarized andforwarded, along with the originals, to Trustee Chairman James Waldo. Members of the universitycommunity who do not receive questionnaires but are interested in contributing to the evaluation areinvited to send letters concerning Ross' performance to Waldo. Letters can be sent to Waldo at Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell 2101 One Union Square, Seattle, Wa. 98101. Kelly said the invitation will "open up" the evaluation process to those of Western's 10,000 member community who do not receivequestionnaires. Questionnaires and ietters should be received before the end of fall quarter, but Kellysaid he would prefer they be sent by the end of November to speed up the evaluation process. Ross'evaluation probably will be completed during winter quarter, he said. The evaluation process is beginning now, Kelly said, so it can be completed during the academic year when faculty and students are oncampus. Students' perceptions surveyed As many as 800 Western students may complete aconfidential questionnaire designed to reveal their perceptions about the quality of education Westernprovides. Students will participate in the university-funded study Nov. 11,12 and 13 in Lecture Hall 3. The 5-year research project, now in its second year, examines learning perceptions of the same group ofstudents each year to detect any changes in attitudes regarding quality of education. The objective of the project is to help faculty develop educational strategies to meet students' needs more effectively, saidresearch director Joan Sherwood, who formerly served as vice president of Student Affairs. "The climateis right for changes in the academic sector," Sherwood said. "There seems to be a national feeling thatcollege doesn't effectively meet sf utferi•'t'sxn,eetrs: W'e warrt r/o"'k ho w'ribw stud e'nts- feel about it." Sherwood got the idea for the project from a dissertation written by Marsha Taylor, of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The completed questionnaires will be sent to Miami University for scoring. Researchersthere will compare responses with those from last year, using participant's student numbers, not names,for identification. Eight hundred students in social-science classes participated in the study last year. Of those, about 600 returned to Western this year, a number that surprised Sherwood, she said. "Weexpected a 35 percent attrition rate," Sherwood said. "1 would guess returning students'mean GPAmight be higher than average. They might be very highly motivated students." All students whoparticipated in the project last year received invitations to participate this year, regardless of whether they returned to school. Students are asked what they believe the key is to doing well in college courses,what methods instructors use that are most effective and how much student-instructor interaction in theclassroom is most beneficial. While Sherwood hopes the project will improve the quality of educationat Western, she said she sees no indication that students are dissatisfied with current curricula."Students I've talked to tell me they are very happy with what they are getting," she said. Lobbyingnetwork unites alumni advocates B|§Iichaet Sf Smith Sl(^y gt;epqft0y^y^^^^ When the StateLegislature reconvenes in January, Western's Alumni Office expects to have a revamped lobbyingnetwork ready for action. For the past five years the office has coordinated a "loose" lobbying network of about 25 alumni. But Alumni Office Director Chris Goldsmith said he expects to expand the networkto include about 500 alumni by January, with 10 to 20 in each legislative district. These alumniadvocates will telephone legislators in their district on behalf of Western whenever issues of importanceto the school arise in the Legislature. "It just makes sense to use this resource," Goldsmith said. "TheAlumni Board of Directors believes Western alumni are a force to be reckoned with politically. A lot ofalumni — voters — care what happens to Western and legislators ought to know that." The AlumniOffice has the names and addresses of about 36,000 alumni on a computer file. Goldsmith used thecomputer to go through the list of names and identify alumni by legislative district. Four staff members started calling alumni last week, asking them to participate in the network. Already 25 alumni in eight districts have committed help. Calling will continue, one night a week, until the target number is reached. "So far people seem very happy (and) more than willing to get involved," Goldsmith said. Al Froderberg, special assistant to the president for state government relations, will work closely with the networkthrough the Alumni Office. He will ensure Goldsmith or someone in the Alumni Office's LegislativeCommittee knows when the Legislature will consider an issue important to Western and what standthe school will take. The Alumni Office then will contact key alumni advocates in each district who, inturn, will call other advocates in their district. Then all the advocates will call their legislators. If alumniadvocates disagree with Western's position on an issue, they could choose not to call legislators,Froderberg said. "But we would hope they wouldn't call their legislatures and take a stand against us,"he said. Sometimes, on complicated issues, Froderberg will write a brief summary of Western's positionand the Alumni Office will send copies to all the advocates, ideally four to five days before a vote. "I think (the network) will be effective," Froderberg said. "This will show legislators that an awful lot of peoplefeel Western deserves better, that legislators need to take more responsibility for the school's needs." ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986 HEC studies may influence fundin By MichaelS.Smith staff reporter The State Legislature in January will discuss two key issues pertinent toWestern's budget. Its decisions concerning funding for instructional support and salaries may beinfluenced by two studies, Al Froderberg, Western's legislative liaison, said. A comparison of faculty and. admin-tra tor's salaries at peer universities throughout the country is conducted each year by the Higher Education Coordinating Board. Froderberg said peer schools are selected in states that arereasonably close to Washington, taking into account such factors as population, the economy andcitizens' income. Western's peer schools are Northern Arizona University, California State Universityat Chico, California State University at Hayward, Western Illinois University, University of NorthernIowa, Northern Michigan University and Portland State University. Its study, Froderberg said, showedthat Western is 10.6 percent behind its peers in salaries. Even further behind their peers, CentralWashington University lags 15 percent in salaries and Eastern Washington University lags 23 percent. The nine-member HEC Board was appointed by the governor for the task of developing a Master Plan forhigher education. This plan is likely to influence the state's policy concerning admissions, funding andthe role and mission of each university. As a result of its study, the HEC Board in Septemberrecommended the Legislature implement a two-stage pay increase for faculty during the 1987-89biennium. The $135.4 million increase would adjust faculty salaries to those of peer schools. The otherstudy will compare funding of instructional support, such as libraries and computers. He saidinstructional support probably wasn't compared in the past because it is such a big undertaking. Itrequires thorough examination of eight budgets, including Western's, before any comparisons canbe made. "The Governor's Office of Management and Budget initiated the idea," Froderberg said."They decided it would be worth it to get a clearer picture of how our schools compare to their peers." An educational consulting firm called the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems isdoing the study, Froderberg said. Results should be available in two to three weeks. Froderberg saidhe doesn't expect the CHRIS BALDWIN study to show Western to be adequately funded in relation toother universities. He said Washington has severely cut instructional support funds since 1981, whileother schools have-increased funding in that area. The comparisons are important because theyprovide the Legislature with documented evidence of Western's need for additional funding, Froderbergsaid. Building and maintenance funding, important topics for Western, won't be included in thecomparison studies, he said. Acquiring funds to remodel the current Art/Tech Buildingand toconstructanew science building are top capital facilities issues for Western, he said. The maintenance (orequipment) budget, he said, is strained to the point where the school is barely able to maintain andrepair equipment, including the computers. "If we got more funds to buy computers we would really behard-pressed," he said. "What good arc new computers if you can't take care of them." Western alsowants the state to raise its enrollment lid. Froderberg said. In an October 17 Front story Western'sadmissions director Richard Rich! said the university stopped accepting applications from incomingfreshmen and transfer students October 10. Western has asked the Legislature to raise the lid by 150Full-Time-Equivalent students each year through 1989. Equity with the other regional universities —Central and Eastern — is another important topic, Froderberg said. During the '70s the Legislature cutbudgets at regional universities. Eastern and Central cut their instructional budgets, but Western cut itsbudget elsewhere. Eventually, funding was restored to Eastern and Central's instructional budgets.Western, however, didn't receive any new money. Later, when the regional universities were given newmoney, Eastern and Central often used it to hire more faculty. Western, though, often used its moneyto raise the salaries of its veteran faculty. This resulted in Western having the highest (24.1 to I) student-to-teacher ratio of the three. Eastern's is 18.5 to 1 and Central's is 19.2 to I. "We think this should becorrected," Froderberg said. But it has to do with Western being on a par with its peer schools infunding, rather than with Eastern and CentraK he said. "If Western's funding were equal to its peerschools, the equity question probably would be resolved," Froderbersz said. if AMERICAN CANCERSOCIETY" Help us keep winning PREGNANT? NEED HELP?

Sidles said themanager's position has been split into two jobs for more than a year and he also requested the boardrevise the pay schedule from an hourly rate to a quarterly salary of $600 for each position. The title ofoperations manager would be replaced by facilities manager and personnel manager, and bothemployees would report to the Recycle Center Coordinator. The division and reclassification of themanager's position will have no effect on the Recycling Center's budget, Sidles said. As it is now,Sidles said, "there's a great deal of confusion." The recycle center employees currently receive astarting pay of $3.95 per hour, with a 10 cent per hour raise after three quarters of employment, Sidlessaid. He said if a student filling either position were to work 16 hours a week — the maximum allowedby the university, the total earnings would be the same. "1 thought it would probably be moreappropriate to bring them to salary," Sidles said. "1 think that the $600 salary level is appropriate." Thebudget currently allows for two management positions: Sidles at $750 per quarter and the operationalmanager's. The benefit to the people filling the reclassified positions would be increased status andmaybe a shift in hours, as they already are performing management functions with financial andpersonnel responsibilities, he said. The board is scheduled to vote on the revised job description atits meeting next Wednesday. In other AS business: The board endorsed an upcoming Salvation Armyfood drive and is offering a $25 prize to the student organization collecting the most food. The SalvationArmy is seeking student volunteers to take part in the Walk and Knock food drive scheduled for Nov.15. Nursing program is ailing By Jerry Tegarden Despite a 1986 state-wide study indicating nursingwill be the most demanded skill in the Pacific Northwest by the year 2000, the future of Western'snursing program is uncertain. In October, Nursing Program Chairwoman Karen Moren met with nursingeducators and health professionals from throughout the country during conferences dealing withquestions about the profession. Moren traveled to Washington, D.C. last month for a conferencesponsored by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The conference focused on the change in nursing to higher levels of education, such as an associate degree R.N., as entry requirements to theprofession. The other meeting, in Seattle, was sponsored by the Council for Nursing Educators inWashington. Officials at all levels of nursing discussed the emerging emphasis on higher educationalrequirements. Moren said Western's Bachelor of Science in Nursing is the only other publicly fundedprogram in Western Washington besides the program at the University of Washington. "On a state level I found that there is support for this program, that there is a need for continuing this type of program,"Moren said. One reason for the need to continue Western's program, Moren said, is the difficulty ofgetting into the UW's program. "There are a fair number of private universities with a program similar toours. Of course the tuition here is a lot less than in a private school." The nursing program advisoryboard last week formed a committee with the task of developing proposals for Moren to present toWestern's administration by the end of November. The administration has indicated a willingness toconsider any proposals the advisory board and Moren can suggest, she said. "Even though we have a lotof support from the state and national organizations and the medical community, it may not be enough,"Moren said. LAURA TOWEY "1 think the whole issue comes down to administrative support forfunding here. The school may close down if we don't come up with some other options." According to areport by the Puget Sound Higher Education Consortium, the increased demand for nurses in the PugetSound area will be 10,000 in 14 years. Participants surveyed included officials from Western, UW,Central Washington University, Pacific Lutheran University and other Pacific Northwest universities. Thesix-year-old program receives about five inquiries a week from people interested in applying to theprogram at Western, Moren said. After 24 juniors entered the program this fall. Western suspendedenrollment because of a lack of state funding. The program is not closed, but applications will not beaccepted until at least 1990, the year when its accreditation expires. Moren said her office probablywould publish a statement listing concerns about the suspension and the possible end of the program.Some schools are considering sending petitions to Western's community. Moren suggested lettersshould be mailed to Western President G. Robert Ross. A copy also should be sent to Moren.

Connie Copeland, assistant to the vice president of Student Affairs, said themain objective is to educate Western's community about the issues and illegality of sexual harassment.Sexual harassment can happen to male students as well as females, she added. Maurice Bryan,Affirmative Action coordinator, will help publish the pamphlet, which Copeland hopes to distribute thisschool year. Two or three students also will be involved in writing the flyer, she added. "Education is thebest way for prevention." Copeland said. "It is less likely to happen if people in the environment areconcerned about it." According to Western's policy, sexual harassment occurs when someone in aposition of power or authority promises grades or other academic or work-related rewards to a student inexchange for sexual relations. Sexual harassment also occurs if the person in power subjects thestudent to unwanted sexual attention, verbally or physically, in the educational or work environment.Sexual harassment is anything from sexist jokes and innuendos to inappropriate advances toacademic rewards or punishments involving sexual conduct to sex crimes, Copeland said. CONNIECOPELAND Drawing attention to sexual harassment is "something we've wanted to do for a longtime," Copeland said. "Western has a good policy but there hasn't been enough education (on thesubject)." Sexual harassment only recently has become an issue on university campuses. It was notdeemed inappropriate until the mid 70s, she said, and was not defined as discriminatory until 1980.Because sexual discrimination is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, universities had to adoptpolicies and establish ways to address the issue. Copeland said. "There was a definite need for awritten policy," she said. Western's Board of Trustees adopted a policy for Western on Feb. 3, 1983.The policy set a standard investigation process for all sexual harassment complaints reported bystudents. The policy outlines the procedural stages beginning by referring the student to Copeland forinformal advice. To file a formal investigation, the student issues a signed complaint to the AffirmativeAction Office, which assesses the allegation. If the complaint warrants an investigation, it is forwardedto the appropriate vice president, who notifies the accused of the allegation and determines the course of action. The decision may be appealed to the Student Academic Grievances Board. At no time duringthe procedure is the student's name used without consent and the student is protected by the universityagainst retaliation. Before this policy was established, complaints were handled case by case, Copeland said. The number of incidents at Western is typical of other universities, she said. "From my informalcontact with students, we fit'the national norms,"she said. According to a booklet published by theProject on the Status and Education of Women last April, nationwide research revealed up to 30 percentof all female college students experience some form of sexual harassment. Two percent of femalestudents are directly threatened or bribed for sexual favors. The booklet contained no statisticalinformation concerning number of sexual harassment cases reported. On a campus of Western's size,these numbers translate to 3,000 and 200 victims, respectively. Western has not conducted anyresearch on campus statistics, Copeland said. She said Western has no plans to conduct one at thistime. Copeland said she sees one or two students each quarter who have harassment complaints.Copeland said the complaints range from "jokes (made in lectures) to physical involvement." Thestudents who have visited Copeland to complain about sexual harassment include three men, shesaid. "It's important to realize men are offended by sexist comments, too," Copeland said. At leastone student has filed a formal complaint since the policy was initiated in 1983, she said. Mostcomplaints are dealt with informally through the Student Affairs Office, she said, as the objective is tostop the behavior, not to punish the harasser. Copeland said students who have experienced sexualharassment may become scared and blame themselves for the incident. She said if people talk aboutit and start to ask questions, they may discover other people have become offended, too. Copelandemphasized the importance of discussing the issues. She suggested people also should talk to residentaides, friends, co-workers or faculty members. Students also can seek advice from the AS Women'sCenter or the Affirmative Action office. fWrnig^a^^SK^KJSElL.iMhi: gg IMllSJTSgXMBuSi THE BUSCOMPANY Now there's a new Bus Company in town In the Bellingham Mall next to Great HarvestBread Co.

The Vikings earned the trip to the nationals, which begins next Thursday, by placing third atthe NAIA District 1 regional meet last Saturday. The trip, including airfare, lodging, food and groundtransportation for Coach Ralph Ver-nacchia and seven runners, will cost about $3,000. The sevenrunners competing in the national meet are Brad Alexander, Steve Tollan, Neal Sherry, Brad Adams,Matt Ruhl, Hugh Webber and John Belsher. The group will leave Nov. 13, compete Nov. 15 and return to Bellingham the next day. The funds will be appropriated from the DRAC national travel budget, whichhas nearly $ 14,000 appropriated for fall quarter. The travel budget primarily is used to pay expenses forWestern students traveling to national competitions. But the budget also may be used for regional travel expenses. Athletic Director Boyde Long, a member of DRAC, made the request for the money on behalf of the cross country team. In other business during its second meeting of fall quarter DRAC re-electedChairwoman Tina Brinson. Also discussed was the nomination of four students for the Services andActivities Fee Committee. At least one student of the four nominated by DRAC . will serve on the feecommittee.

Or at least that's the sailing team's goal. "Racing the Flying Scots was likedriving someone else's car. It took us awhile to get the seat adjusted," skipper Mark Harang said ofWestern's three-man sailing team's performance at the recent Intercollegiate Sloop Championships inDetroit. Harang, a senior from Seattle majoring in technology, along with juniors Erik Hauge and AndySchwenk maneuvered their 20-foot sloop through the paces of the regatta last weekend. This was thefirst time the three shipmates, who also share a house, had sailed together in actual competition.They admitted finding it difficult to make headway with the Scots, a type of sloop none of them hasnavigated or even seen up close before. The Viking sailors typically race 14- foot dinghies and found thelarger Scots to be much more cumbersome and slow. But all vessels provided for use in regattas must be the same, Harang said. "Sailing is people against people, not boat against boat," Harang said. TheVikings' speed was not impressive throughout the first day. Gear breakage in the first, second and fourthraces slowed them down. Disappointed by the mechanical problems, Harang said, "It wasn't like wewere going to win otherwise. It was a higher caliber of sailing than we're used to." By the final day of theregatta, however, the crew of Vikings managed to haul in a second and a third place and missedwinning the final race by "mere inches." Schwenk said. Schwenk added that collegiate sailing is "ascompetitive as hell. You could sail without a single mistake and still not be able to win." Dave Lutz. aneducation major with two years on the sailing team, emphasized competition fine tunes skills moreeffectively. Hauge agreed, adding "We learned a lot more last weekend than we have in a longer period of regular practices." The Detroit regatta's seven races gave each team the opportunity to sail every boat.Western competed against crews representing Springhill, Navy, Stanford, the University of Michigan,Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Gollege of Charlestown, ranked number one in sailing last year. All teams raced with three crew members, but most of the schools competing at last week'sraces brought along surplus crews. This allowed the teams to mix and match their members to achievethe most advantageous weight combinations, Hauge said. "We were a little heavy," Hauge said.Western could afford only to send three men to the regatta and had to leave their coach, Jeff Davis, athome. The Vikings compete in the Northwest District of the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association.Western is one of 14 schools in the district encompassing Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.Sailing is a club sport at Western and university funding to the club amounts to approximately $900 ayear, Lutz said. Some East Coast schools invest thousands of dollars in their sailing teams. The team is seeking funding from private backers, such as the Sailing Foundation in Seattle and plans to stageseveral fund-raisers. The Western sailors agreed the Northwest has a potential for important sailingregattas, but they don't believe sailing is stressed in the Northwest as strongly as it is on the East coast. Most of the prestigious regattas are .sailed on the East coast or in California, Harang said. The Vikings have tied down wins in KRISTI MOEN Crew Karee Loghry takes a dip in Lake Whatcom as skipper ErikHauge maneuvers the Alpha in light winds during practice Wednesday. each elimination regatta they'vecompeted in and are 4-0 in district competition. Hauge, Schwenk, Lutz and Harang agreed that theteams from Lewis and Clark, the University of Victoria and the University of Washington consistentlyprovide their stiffest competition. During the Thanksgiving break, Harang, Hauge and their crew, AndreaHenderson and Karee Loghry, will travel to Chicago to compete in one of the most prestigious races inthe country, the Timme Angsten Regatta. They won the right to race in Chicago when they beat nineother teams in elimination races in Victoria, B.C. on Oct. 25 and 26. The four express a desire todevelop depth of skill among all members of the team, not just in the top crew. The team gradually hasimproved during the past three years, Lutz said. This season's team is the strongest Western hasassembled. "We want to develop a strong base for continuing success for the future and welcomenewcomers," Lutz said. The Vikings hope to qualify for Dinghy Nationals this year at the MerchantMarines Academy in Kingsport, N.Y. They also will be sailing for the J.F. Kennedy Cup Memorial Regatta at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. By attending more and more national regattas, they hope toachieve a national ranking one day. Harang will be competing in a Laser class single-handed regatta inAlabama Nov. 14-16 against teams from 16 others schools. v Last year. Harang captured 10th place of16 in this competition sailed in Hawaii. The regatta is moved to a different location each year.Western's district is the only one with sailboard regattas, and this weekend the Vikings will host the"Psychedelic Rasta Board Regatta. Part II" on Lake Whatcom. Races will begin at 9 a.m. onSaturday and run until it gets dark, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the next day.

For some reason, Reagan thinks theStrategic Defense Initiative—Star Wars—is worth such a lost opportunity. But America's scientificcommunity is trying to tell the president to come back down to planet Earth. The Cornell Institute forSocial and Economic Research released a survey this week indicating the scientists who would build the space defense don't think it would work. Ninety-eight percent of a cross section of National Academy ofScience members said Star Wars probably wouldn't stop enough incoming Soviet missiles to safelydefend American populations. Eighty-one percent said the chances are poor to extremely poor that StarWars can be made cost effective, as Reagan claims it can. Only 10 percent support the program. Eighty-five percent said Reagan hasn't listened to scientists enough regarding the feasibility of SD1. If thepresident's ignorance of the facts didn't have such broad ranging and life-threatening consequences, wecould joke about Reagan's hear-no-evil pose. As it stands though, we'd better hope the scientists insisttheir voices are heard. And when the scientists who refuse to build Reagan's new suit of armor tell us the"Great Communicator" has no clothes, perhaps we ought to listen. Education needs critical thought Arecent report by the Carnegie Foundation entitled "College: the Undergraduate Experience in America,"seems to imply the question—whatever happened to critical thought as a goal of education? Conflictingpressures and demands have confused the goals of many universities, the report states. It quotes amidwest college president, "It's all right to talk about liberal arts goals but we have to face up to whatstudents want today." With today's emphasis on specific job skills many university departments are littlemore than vocational training schools. They bear little resemblance to the liberal arts schools of the past. What sort of education do we get at Western? It appears from Western's published three-year objectives that this university is more concerned with meeting the needs of business and industry than providingstudents a quality education and teaching them to think. With the kinds of crises facing the worldtoday—threats of nuclear war, economic collapse and environmental degradation—it seems the mostimportant asset a college graduate could have is a broad education and the ability to think critically.The Carnegie report states, "This nation and the world need well-informed, inquisitive, open-minded youngpeople who are both productive and reflective, seeking answers to life's most important questions." Thestudent, of course, bears a portion of the responsibility for his or her own education. But, more often itseems students are cranked through the system without time to think or wonder or question theinformation being thrown at them. Ernest L. Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation, writes, "Manyof the nation's colleges and universities are more successful in credentialing than in providing a qualityeducation for their students." Any one university cannot be everything to everbody, but a direction anda goal are important. The report states, "A quality college is guided by a clear and vital mission."Critical thinking is not absent from Western, but the student must dig it out. It is not a required course.Education is the foundation of a free, democratic society. Critical thought is one measure of the quality ofthat education. •••••••••I Brian Malvey, editor-in chief • Niels Nokkentved,managing editor Juli Bergstrom, news editor • Mary Barouh, David Cuillier, Sandra Treece, assistantnews editors "Mark Connolly, opinion editor • Kristi Moen, sports editor • Brian Bean, assistantsports editor • Judy Averill, A CCENT editor Julie McGalliard, Lori Robinson, assistant ACCENT editors Karin Stanton, assistant editor • Monica White, design editor Jackie Soler, production manager •Dan Tyler, photo editor Chris Baldwin, Mike Carroll, graphic artists Lyle Harris, adviser The Front is theofficial newspaper of Western Washington University.

I magine seeing the smiling face of Pope John Paul II on Sundaymornings saying Latin mass. Cable Vatican? The Vatican needs a cable channel in the United States.Maybe the Vatican could call the channel PopeTV, and give two reports an hour on the Polish Pontiffwith contemporary Catholic New Age artist George Michael Talbot playing guitar music in thebackground. I believe the Pontiff could even give daily sermons from his pulpit in the Vatican. Ofcourse he'd have to change his attire to suit the tastes of pray TV viewers and its addicts. 'TheWillamette Week' in Portland, Oregon, ran a column ou people's favorite tele-vangelists. If the Pope hada cable channel, or even a weekly show, I'm sure many people would write the 'Willamette Week'saying their favorite was John Paul II instead of Tammy Bakker of the PTL (Praise The •Igllll iiiiliiiiiliLord) Club. The Pope has stiff competition from Bakker. She has bodacious ta-tas and cries lots whenasking for "bookoo" bucks for the Christian Broadcasting Network and assorted, sordid ministries. ThePolish Pontiff cannot cry on PopeTV since he is not a big breasted woman in a ministerial positionbegging folks for cash. John Paul disapproves of women in ministerial positions who cry and he mustmaintain a macho Catholic sincerity. Strike one. John Paul also can't wear gallons of Amway make-up or show any compassionate tendencies because people might question his sexuality. The Popecondemned homosexual acts on October 30 and might be considered hypocritical if he wore partydresses and rouge like Bakker. Strike two. Tammy Bakker also sings more insipid Protestant hymnsthan the Pope. John Paul II sings in Polish or Latin, and pray television addicts misinterpreteverything foreign other than "schmuck." The Polish Pontiff could attempt Kyrie by Mr. Mister, butwhy bother? Strike three. Maybe Tammy Bakker is the best televangelist after all. Bodacious ta-tas,pancake mascara, and sincere tears make a better TV evangelist. Maybe the Pope should keep hismouth shut. He doesn't have the star power of a Bakker, or a Gene Scott, or even a Jimmy Swaggart.Maybe if he wore polyester . . . PopeTV. Praise Rome! Made in our own image Campaigns stuck in themud T his fall politics wallowed in mud and money. Campaigning leading up to the Nov. 4 electionswas marked, perhaps marred, by pervasive personal attacks and attempts at character assassination by candidates upon their opponents. Potshots were fired across paid TV and newspaper advertisements more often than not. This image-bashing was even reflected in the cultural mirror of Doonesbury, whereol' Lacey Davenport is running for Congress, staging a hyper-conscious campaign to come acrossdrug-free and clean in the public eye amidst her opponent's mud-slinging. Who lied? Who's on drugs?Who promised what and never came through? Who's a commie sympathizer? Who's got dirty laundry?Who cares? Perhaps too many of us. Some critics have been insightful enough to point out thatcandidates' stands on the issues— supposedly the real stuff of politics—have been buried in this TV and newsprint "image" barrage. Perhaps, though, we haven't yet 'fessed up to the realization that we'regetting only what we deserve. We do, after all, have an actor for president. And sad to say he didn't justbop off the screen— we elected him. Ronald Reagan has so succeeded in making image moreimportant than issue that it's appearing suicidal for political hopefuls to not use the same ploy. He hasshown that you can bumble with policies and misrepresent facts and still be popular, as long as youproject a sincere image, offer easy solutions to complex problems and make people feel good aboutthemselves and America. So when candidates this fall chose to attack one another instead of addressthe issues, it was just the seamier side of the image consciousness that pervades our culture. Andwho can we blame for these tacks but ourselves? Day in and night out we indulge in fantastic images.Advertising and fashion models, professional athletes, rock stars and movie heroes like our ownpresident project cultural ideals we too often literally buy into. Fifty-minute dramas and 30- second sales pitches, cut-and-splice spoon-fed TV dinnertime versions of world news lead us to believe someone else will solve life's difficulties—or we can just change the channel. To demand that our politiciansaddress the issues, we must first take up the issues ourselves. Care and interest and work, on localissues or state and federal campaigns, bind us to their outcomes. Demanding that our electedofficials, debate issues we're wrapping our lives in would naturally follow our own commitment. Littlepatience would be left in an involved electorate for bickering among the candidates about whether therepublican goes to what church, or did the democrat smoke pot in college. Until then, we can count oninstant replays of this autumn's mud bath. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - Page 7 ---------- » FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 7 LETTERS BjaanmHaHHBBBB Writer's writing not writing, right? Western Front: Dear Mark Connolly. What's the matter? Is it that you don't knowwhat to write about, or haven't you done any research? I've read two of your recent columns and stillhaven't been presented with any of your ideas or information on the topics about which you write. You write about writing about things without ever writing about them. Instead of listing all the ongoing butforgotten world conflicts that aren't in fashion anymore, why not dig into one of them and give us somenew ideas and information. Keep them alive if they are so important to you and us. You almost wroteabout the El Salvador bombing campaigns of '83-84 in your Oct. 24 column. But you shifted toemphasize the fact that we don't hear about them. You even write about other people writing about them (or not writing about them). Again I wonder, what about them besides the fact that nobody wrote aboutthem? What about their "visciousness or consequences?" Discuss media coverage with otherjournalists. I would rather get more of your insights into what's happening, more straight information. Just the facts m'am. Otherwise you're doing just what you say the rest of the media are doing. Bob ReinerH)f)U, (XIOBKH .*!, WKS7t:/t\ FROM New program aims toward China Jhi)^:«cU,cVt(f;Triim;thi':Coordinator clears up China quote Western Front: Your article of Oct. 31, 1986 on the China TeachingSpecialist Program was informative and basically correct. However, 1 would like to bring to yourattention additional information given during the interview. Although the back door to China does exist, if anyone wants to accomplish things in China, the preferred entrance is through proper channels andprocedure. Of course, personal contacts are helpful, but are not the most important way to China. Ifanything "quoted" in the article was not appropriate for relations between Western Washington University and China, I offer my sincere apologies. Also, if anyone would like to discuss the article with me, Iwould be most happy to do so. Andrea I'ram, Coordinator, International Programs Business back doornot program's point Western Front: A serious bit of misunderstanding has been published in TheWestern Front regarding the China Language Program newly created on this campus. The article(page 3, Friday, Oct. 31) suggests that the thrust of the program is to teach students how to usethe backdoor in doing business in China. This is not so. The program is based on the greatest respect for the government and people of the Peoples' Republic of China. The goal of the China LanguageProgram is to help students understand that system, not to change it or to find "backdoors" to access it. Certainly, the social systems of government and business are different in the P.R.C. than in theU.S. In recognizing these differences, we are, in no way, making judgments. The China LanguageProgram goal is to help our students understand China so that they, and later the companies ororganizations they work for, can build on this knowledge for the benefit of both the P.R.C. and the U.S.Such a mutual benefit can only be based on mutual trust and respect. I am truly sorry any otherinference was conveyed through the article in The Western Front. George Drake, Special Asst. to Pres.for International Programs Teaching in China personal and fun Western Front: As a senior at WWUmajoring in East Asian Studies and having spent last year studying in China, I was quite amused to read your article concerning Ms. Andrea Uram and her CTSP program (Oct. 31). From reading the articleit is made quite obvious that rather than potential applicants, it is Ms. Usram who "entertains romanticnotions" concerning China and the program goals. As a guest lecturer to the program in early October. I talked with a group of five people ranging in age and interests who in my impression wanted to teach English in China out of personal interest and yes, Ms.Uram, even fun. My task was to relate myexperience in China to the group and also to answer questions concerning what to expect, etc . . . I didnot encounter a group who was there to "learn the structure of their professions in China" but rather toacquire a minimal understanding of the Chinese language, culture and history. This aspect, I agree, isuseful to the potential teacher of English in China for there won't be neighborhood 7-1 Is manned byEnglish-speaking in Chongsq-ing. But to infer that upon their return from China that the programparticipant will be a "crucial contact" for organizations wishing to do business with China is ludicrous.Granted, the Chinese don't do business as Americans do, rather they do business on their own termspref-errably using the Chinese language. Western's CTSP program "is the only one of its kind in theworld"and due to the fact that it doesn't guarantee much of anything, will most likely be the last one ofits kind in the world.

One popular form of these synthetic drugs is MDMA, better known on the street as "XTC," "ecstasy" or "Adam." MDMA is an analogue or chemicalcousin of the illegal stimulant MDA, a hallucinogenic amphetamine, which has been around since themid 1960's. MDMA is a derivative of oil of sassafras or oil of nutmeg and was first synthesized in 1914by chemists who were going to use it as an appetite suppressant. The drug comes in a powdered formwhich is usually taken orally, but can also be inhaled or absorbed through the gums like cocaine. Itproduces a euphoric state and has been called an aphrodisiac or "hug drug" according to the August1985 issue of Life magazine. A 1985 issue of Psychology Today said the psychiatric community usedMDMA as a therapeutic drug for patients. Evidently it helped patients relax and broke down emotionaldefenses, allowing them to talk freely about their problems. Some people have experienced negative side effects from a session with ecstasy such as muscle tension, nausea, faintness and chills or sweating. ^s f n ^ D x ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ n ^ p s m h e d XTC in 19lg1|^|^^^^^^^^Slkli ^ i l ed substance.

It's in the teeth. It's in the blood. And it's in the media. Lately,television viewers have been inundated with commercials pushing the need for calcium. Magazines carryadvertisements with drawings of women whose spines are collapsing as they age. Food manufacturers are adding calcium to products such as the soft drink Tab, and informing the world about it throughextensive media campaigns. "It (calcium) is the latest thing," Western's University Nutritionist ShellyZyl-stra said. "A few years ago natural was the thing, but all that means is 'without chemicaladditives.'" Most of the publicity focuses on the dangers of osteoporosis, a condition in which the bonesbecome porous and brittle. It affects one in four women over the age of 60, and is caused primarily byprolonged low calcium intake. "Professional nutritionists have known about osteoporosis for years,"Zylstra "Your bones are like a calcium bank. You can make deposits up till age 40, but after that theaccount is closed," Zylstra said. The bones of an osteoporosis victim are highly susceptible to fractures, especially the hip bones. The highly publicized humped spine is caused by the collapse of vertebrae.Osteoporosis cannot be cured, but it can be prevented through exercise and sufficient calcium intakethroughout life. "For the average college student, I'd recommend 1000 milligrams (of calcium) a day, even though the RDA (recommended daily allowance) is only 800," Zylstra said. The televisioncommercials, sponsored by such groups as the Dairy Farmers of Washington, tend to stress dairy foodsas sources of calcium. Although calcium can come from a variety of other sources, Zylstra said milkand milk products are the easiest and most efficient. Three cups of milk a day provide about 900milligrams of calcium, and milk is It's just a hype, but it certainly cant hurt/ said. "We've made itpublic, they've manufactured a need. It's a merchandising technique." Although 99 percent of thebody's calcium is stored in the bones, calcium also is needed for muscle contraction including thebeating heart, blood coagulation, and nerve transmission. If daily intake is insufficient to meet theseneeds, the body will withdraw the calcium stored in the bones. usually fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin Dis necessary for the body to absorb calcium. Some people, however, don't like milk. "College studentsprefer to think beer is better for them," Zylstra said. Those who don't like or can't drink milk can findcalcium in non-dairy foods as well. A three-ounce serving of sardines with bones, for example, has 372milligrams of calcium. A half cup of bokchoy lettuce has 126 milligrams. Blackstrap molasses has 137milligrams of calcium per tablespoon. A whiskey and soda has no calcium. The calcium content of somefoods can be misleading, however. Oxalic acid, present in many high calcium greens, binds with calcium and makes it unusable. "There's all that lovely calcium and it isn't available to the human being," Zyl-"They go out holding hands with a calcium molecule," she said. Nicotine also decreases calciumretention. Calcium supplements are one option for increasing calcium intake. Zylstra recommendscalcium carbonate, available as an ingredient in antacids or in "generic" form. Calcium carbonatecontains 40 percent *Your bones are like a calcium bank. You can make deposits up till age 40, but after that the account is closed/ stra said. Spinach, chard, and beet greens are high in oxalic acid. Caffeinealso affects the body's retention of calcium. Linda Massey of Washington State University said astudy conducted there showed caffeine causes excess excretion of calcium in the urine. Two cups ofcoffee, she said, causes the loss of approximately 30 milligrams of calcium. To counteract the loss, she recommended adding 100 milligrams of calcium to the diet. Consuming an excess of fiber can alsointerfere with calcium absorption, but Zylstra said that is not much of a problem in this country. "You'dhave to be mainlining bran," she said. A bigger problem in this country is excess protein. Zylstra saidthe average American consumes two to three times what is necessary. Waste products generated bytoo much protein draw calcium out of the body. calcium by weight, and is fairly cheap. "A lot of peopleget calcium lactate. I don't know why, it's very expensive."Zylstra said. It also contains only 13 percent calcium by weight. Calcium Gluconate, another expensive supplement, contains only 9 percent.Calcium is flavorless, and easy to add to food. This has led some food manufacturers to capitalize onpublic awareness of osteoporosis by adding calcium to their products. "It's just a hype, but it certainlycan't hurt," Zylstra said of the added calcium. She said it would be nearly impossible to ingest too muchcalcium, but it is easy to overdose on vitamin D. She said it could become a problem if too manyproducts are fortified with vitamin D in addition to calcium. Calcium is cheap, Zylstra said. If calcium-fortified products cost more "1 will come out of my office and start screaming," she said. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - ACCENT, page 4 ---------- 4 ACCENT WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, N( Women express experiences in Labyrinth By Lori Robinsonassistant editor Labyrinth editors currently are accepting writing and a r t i s t i c submissions, whilehoping to find funding so the magazine can be published. - However, Jean Rodgers, editor of the bi-annual magazine by women for women, said she is confident the magazine will come out, "one way orthe other." The Women's Center began publishing Labyrinth as a newsletter. In the past five years ithas become more of a representation of the Women's Center, and less of a newsletter, Rodgers said.This change of format allows the increased opportunity for women to express themselves in print media,she said. "Women are really under-represented in the published arts." Submissions for Labyrinth varyfrom issue to issue, Rodgers said. She said she would like to publish a variety of women's experiences,from the political to the personal level, anything that concerns women's artistic expressions. "So far,everything that's come in has been poems," Rodgers said, but she said she would like to see Labyrinthcontain poetry, short pieces of fiction, photographs and graphics. ;; "I'd like to leave it pretty broad,"she said, but, "I wouldn't want to print anything detrimental to women." The magazine doesn't acceptsubmissions from men. The magazine was allocated money by the Associated Students in the past,but last year the Activities Council discontinued their budget. The AS discontinued direct funding forLabyrinth because of reorganization of policies and allocations, said Brent Arndt, AS vice-president forActivities. He said the last year's Activities Council wanted Labyrinth to find other funding, such as ad v e r t i s i n g , bef pre they approached the council for funds. Like other AS organizations Labyrinthmust go before the council to request funding for: projects. "They (Labyrinth) could go to the ActivitiesCouncil to ask for funds, through the Women's Center," Arndt said. Funding is possible, "it just dependson the decisions of the council," he said. The magazine editors are trying to find funding through other outlets, including soliciting ads and organizing fundraisers. Rodgers was selected as editor in thebeginning of fall quarter, partially because she explains, "no one else volunteered for the job.'' Rodgerssaid she has been interested in editing Labyrinth for some time, through her experiences as acontributor for the magazine in the past. She currently is a part-time student taking a creative writingclass, and has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Rodgers said her work as the editor has allowedher to utilize her degree, as well as train her in editing. The Women's Center is accept-j i j j j i i p ^^«^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^§W§M^iiMXS^^ JEAN RODGERS ing the submissions for Labyrinth, and they are"starting to trickle in," said Tami Brecken-ridge, coordinator of the Women's Center. Submissiondeadline is Dec. 2, for the issue to be published early winter quarter. Women interested in contributing to Labyrinth can contact the Women's Center, Viking Union 211, or leave their pieces in an envelopeoutside the door. People interested in having their submissions returned should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. "Women are really welcome to send in stuff, that's what it's there for," Rodgerssaid. Pu b l i c a t i o n in Jeopardy, Western's annual literary magazine, can be a good way for writers and artists to get exposure and experience. Connie McCollum, this year's Jeopardy editor, said theexperience can give writers a feel for what it's like to submit works, make revisions and see the finalworks in print. Last year, McCollum submitted an excerpt from her fiction novel, "Rain-daughters." Aftersome revisions the excerpt was published in Jeopardy. "Now, I can see all kinds of places I couldredevelop and re-examine," she said. "The errors really glare." She said Jeopardy gives new writers achance to have their work reviewed critically by other writers and the general public. Jeopardy's editors are available to help Writers make revisions on their submissions. The literary magazine, funded by the Associated Students, is distributed free throughout Western's campus. Other universities, such asWashington State University, exchange their literary publications for copies of Jeopardy which ispublished each spring. Besides publishing fiction, non-fiction, poetry and prose, Jeopardy acceptsgraphic and photographic works. McCollum said she is interested in using more graphics andphotographs. "In our choice of paper we're being real careful to choose paper that will reproduce artwell," she said. In the past, Jeopardy has published few student works. McCollum said this may bebecause most students either don't know about the publication or they think it's only for Englishgraduates. McCollum, a Falrhaven student, said she's trying to increase the number of students whohave works published in Jeopardy by informing more students about how to submit works. She's alsoencouraging students from Western's sister university the University of El Salvador, to submit works.Written pieces from El Salvador will be translated into English with the writer's permission. Jeopardy has accepted work from all over the United States and Canada. "As editor of Jeopardy I feel we can no longer represent such a small part of the world. I'd like to do a special issue that features work from ElSalvador," she said. Written submissions should be typed. All submissions should include a self-addressed stamped envelope. Submissions can be sent to Jeopardy, Humanities 350.

He will perform tonight with pianoaccompaniment and tomorrow with the Western wind ensemble. "Hemke is clearly one of the bestconcert saxophonists in the world," Wayne Gorder, Western wind ensemble conductor said. Hemke, aprofessor at Northwestern University in Illinois, studied at the National Conservatory of Music in Pariswhere he became the first American to win first prize in saxophone. Author of several books, Hemkealso has recorded two solo records and has performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.Saxophonists can even buy "Hemke" reeds in music stores. The majority of the soloist's expenses arebeing paid by La Voz, a reed-making company and Selmer, a musical instrument company. Gordersaid expenses for guest soloists usually vary between $1,000 and $3,000. Hemke arrived yesterdayto practice with Western's wind ensemble and Lisa Bergman, Western pianist. Tonight at 8, Hemke willgive a solo recital with Bergman in the PAC Concert Hall. He will perform with the wind ensembletomorrow at 8 p.m. The wind ensemble will perform Ingolf Dahl's "Concerto for Alto Saxophone andWind Orchestra." In addition, the wind ensemble will perform music by Gustav Hoist, Percy Grainger,Charles Ives, Charles Gounod and contemporary Czech composer Zdenek Lukas. Tickets are $4general and $2 for students. Proceeds will go to the Western Music Department scholarship fund.Puppeteer presents classics By Jerry Tegarden staff reporter Frankenstein, The Hound of theBaskervilles, Hamlet and King Arthur are part of the Clay Martin's Puppet Theatre at tonight's MamaSundays. Martin, 34, is a graduate of George Washington University in Dramatic Arts. He first came toSeattle 10 years ago to try his luck at acting. After two years Martin decided to give it up and becomea Seattle stockbroker. "I'd finally had it. I was no longer going to try to make it as an actor," Martin said. "I was the kind of actor who always wanted to do all the parts. One day I discovered I could," he said.Two months later he decided to try a production of "Sir George and the Dragon." To save the hassles of a full stage production he built a puppet stage, made some puppets and took his show to the Pike Place Market. After his first show he counted his tips and found $12. Armed with the knowledge that he couldmake a Jiving playing the streets he quit his stockbroking job. Martin said playing on the streets isn'talways easy. At the 1980 Pike Place Street Fair his stage almost was set on fire by an inebriated critic."Luckily a friend who was there discouraged him," he said. Four years ago, while performing at a party in Saugetuck, Michigan, he met Burr Tilstrom, the creator of Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Martin said Till-stromtook an immediate interest in his work and invited him to his workshop. "It was sort of a master's classright there," he said. Tillstrom hired him as a technician and puppet-maker for several television specialson WMAQ-TV Chicago. Martin's puppetry also was featured on the CBS Morning News in 1982. Martinperforms a series of short pieces in his show including the 325-year-old classic "Punch and Judy." "Iplay lots of versions of Punch; Punch with Judy, Punch and the Policeman, Punch and the Hangman and others," Martin said. He does all the voices for his plays. Punch's voice is done with the aid of aswazzle. A swazzle is a reed held in the mouth, which gives Punch his characteristic squeaky voice.The other part of Martin's show is a 45-minute play about King Arthur. His adaptation of the storycontains 13 characters and each has a specific personality conveyed as much by voice as appearance.The performance is free and begins at 8 p.m. in the Viking Union Coffeeshop. Comedic 'End of the World' sparks laughs and discussion Old Main Theater may explode with laughter when the play "End of theWorld" hits the stage. "End of the World,"by Arthur Kopit is the theater/dance department's fallproduction. Dennis Catrell, chairman of the department, will direct the comedy. The play is set inStanford, Conn. Micheal Trent, played by Sean Robinson, is a playwright. He is approached by PhilipStone, a wealthy industrialist played by Chuck Harper, and is commissioned to write a play on nuclearproliferation. "The topic of it may not be attractive but the treatment of the topic is comedic," Catrellsaid. It's a play containing comedy and mystery, he said. The show follows Trent through his troubleswriting and researching the play, Catrell said. "We see what kinds of impact the city and militaryexperts have on Trent's personal life." "It deals with a topic of current public concern, but it's not apropaganda play either," Catrell said. The play deals with a question that pertains to all of us, he said. Following the performance will be a discussion about the play. The play opens at 7:30 p.m. . Nov. 12 in the Old Main Theater and will run through Nov. 15. On Sunday, Nov. 16, the prefor-mance will be at 2:15 p.m. Admission is $4.50 general and $3.50 students/seniors. 'Til Tuesday provides surprising sinceritymusic By Bill Freeberg staff reporter Aimee Mann and 'Til Tuesday survive the sophomore slump anddepart from angst to honesty on their new album, "Welcome Home." By expanding her vocal andstylistic range. Mann communicates a sincerity that was lacking in the pain-filled songs on 'TilTuesday's debut album, "Voices Carry." Til Tuesday begins the album with "What About Love."This song maintains the moody style of their previous work. The change in their style occurs lyrically. When Mann embraces the verse, "Living in silence/Living by the book/You can make it a science/ Living on onegood look," listeners know they're in for a change. The best song on "Welcome Home" is the tear-jerking, country flavored ballad, "Coming Up Close." On the song, Joey Pesce accents Mann's vocalswith a charming keyboard arrangement. "Coming Up Close" cuts deeper into the real Mann, showing aperson behind all the pain. She doesn't scratch the surface of her pain, but digs into her soul and singswith heartbreaking honesty. These two cuts toss any preconceived image of the band as gloommongers. 'Til Tuesday proves it isn't as limited as once percieved by critics. "On Sunday" also presentsthe listener with a refined vocal arrangement. This song deals with the redemptive grace of a lovingrelationship. "On Sunday" moves Mann from pain's center to the person who is comforting the hurt lover,a bold lyrical move that proves successful. Side one ends with another ballad, "David Denies." Mannonce again proves she has a vocal range, and sings in the higher registers. Mann fills the song withtouching ironies about love and the frailties of relationships. Side two maintains the lyrical andmusical consistency of the album. "Angels May Fall" juxtaposes the lushness of Roxy Music and theoff-beat subtleties of the ballads from the Beatles"'Sgt. Pepper" album. Producer Rhett Davies, who hasworked with Roxy Music, elaborately fills the mix with rushes of synthesizers. The band has also grownstylistically. Joey Pesce's keyboards and synthesizers create haunting backgrounds for most of theballads, and Robert Holmes gets to loosen uponguitarevery once in a while. Holmes even belts out a fewmoody licks in "Lover's Day." Davies and 'Til Tuesday have created an album that should entrench theband in the charts. "Welcome Home" is a welcome change of pace from a band most people expectedless from. 'Til Tuesday has come home with an album that could be considered one of the closetclassics of 1986.

To demonstrate the need for a stage renovation and present quality entertainment, theMount Baker Theatre Committee has invited the orchestra to perform at the theatre, Nov. 9, at 3 p.m.The Mount Baker Theatre, which was built in 1927, is listed on the National Register of HistoricalPlaces. The landmark needs a larger stage so it can accomodate performing groups such as thesymphony orchestra, she said. She said the cost for the renovation is quoted at $1.2 million andthe money would be raised through matching grants from major foundations. The symphony, conductedby Nicolas Bussard, will perform Beethoven's Edgmont Overture, Ippolitov-Ivanov's Caucasian Sketchesand Variations for Orchestra by Edward Rutsch-man, a Western music professor. "'Variations forOrchestra' is a challenging 17-minute piece that gives sections of the orchestra a chance to show off,"said Rutschman, who serves as graduate program advisor and music theory coordinator at Western.Appearing with the symphony will be Seattle Symphony's violin soloist Linda Melsted. She will befeatured in Tchaikovsky's 'Concerto for Violin.' Tickets for the performance are on sale from 1 to 5 p.m.,weekdays at the Mount Baker Theatre Committee office, or at Box Office Northwest. Prices are $5, $4and $3. Local bands converge on album By David Einmo staff reporter Everything from rock to reggaewill be represented on Music Connection's compilation album, "Once in a Lifetime." The album, which is scheduled for release in December, will feature 10 Whatcom County bands. Dave Lewis, thecoordinator of Music Connection, along with John Rants, part-owner of TCD Productions have beenplanning the album since last May. Music Connection is a non-profit o r g a n i z a t i o n for aidingmusicians. Lewis and Rants originally planned a concert with 33 bands performing for the public at apark in Bellingham last spring. Lewis said the bands were going to be judged against each other, andthe winners would appear on a compilation album. The Parks Department, however, cancelled theshow because it feared security problems, Lewis said. But the Up and Up Tavern provided a stage forthe musicians, when the owners invited Lewis and the bands to play at the club. "They make a realhabit of helping out local musicians," Lewis said. The tavern hosted five to six bands each Thursday,Friday and Saturday night for two weeks in September and October. Ten of the bands from those shows appear on the album, which was recorded live at the Up and Up. "Once in a Lifetime" features thefoursome e.e. penguin; two solo vocalists, Kirk Douglas and Denisa Karr; country bands Suzy and theQ's, and Wild Country Vocal Band; reggae rockers The Tourists; jazz from Jade Waller; and three rockand roll bands, The Reaction, Ed Knight, and Tony Branco. Kirk Douglas and Denisa Karr, who metafter the recording, have since begun working together. Lewis said he hopes to make the concertsand album an annual event. He said next year he would like to reach an agreement with the city ofBellingham to incorporate an outdoor festival during the city's July 4 celebration. Lewis said he wouldlike to record another compilation album during the pending summer performances. Music Connectionalso assists bands by helping them get concerts, connecting band members with other musicians and providing workshops. "It's just musicians helping other musicians," Lewis said. He said the theMusic Connection album will be available in local music stores.

Wilcox also publishes the Wilcox Report, a newsletter on the American left and right. In 1965 he established the Wilcox Collection on Contemporary Political Movements, in the Kenneth SpencerResearch Library at the University of Kansas. It is one of the largest of its kind, he said. His publications and collection are used primarily by libraries and researchers, he said. Wilcox said he was alwayscurious about belief systems. "I grew up in a very intense intellectual family where people discussedthings," he said. "I used to hear people talk about these political abstractions." His involvement inpolitical movements began when he was 17, with such activities as sit-ins and Socialist Labor meetings. He enrolled at the University of Kansas in 1961, and continued his involvement in left-of-centerorganizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union. In 1966 he dropped out of campus leftistorganizations. "All of a sudden the student movement started to get violent," he said. Increased drug use among student activists also disturbed him. Although he no longer belonged to these organizations, he continued going to the meetings; He also began attending meetings of right-wing organizations, and became interested in how people come to their beliefs. "What people believe is not so important to meas why," he said. The "why" will be the topic of his speech at Western. Wilcox said he has come toknow about 400 "ideolouges," or members of extremist groups. "They're not bad people. That's just astrue of a Ku Klux Klan member as a peace marcher.

"If you really want to understand (a group) you have to let yourself get immersed in them," hesaid. This technique works, Wilcox said, but "sometimes it's been kind of embarrassing." For instance,"Once I was at a meeting of the John Birch Society, and without realizing it I began using some leftistcliches." Investigating cult religious groups this way can be more diffi- "Some are pretty decent groupsand some are crazy as hell," he said. Wilcox said he believes even the craziest of these groups has aright to exist. They contribute to the enormous political diversity which is a major strength of thiscountry, he said. They also encourage thought, and examination of beliefs, he said. "I don't think it hurts anyone to hear a Nazi or a Communist or whatever," Wilcox said.

"They tell us which chords should beminors and which should be majors," he said. Daugherty looked up from his guitar and shrugged. "Iknow the names of the strings," he said. Fleischner plays percussion and trombone. Marcus said theremaining band members rotate on the other instruments. Clark described the band's music as"anything you can dance to." He said the band might play a song by the Temptations, immediatelyfollowed by a song by the Talking Heads. "And political songs," Marcus added. "WeVe been writing asong about surfing contras," Clark said, "Surfing contras on the beach." He said original material is thenext step in the development of the band, but songs are difficult to complete. "That's one thing about this band— we don't really have anyone who is a leader," Clark said. "1 like it like that," Sheek said.Fleischner said, "We're a collective." Clark said the "collective" nature of the band has good and badresults. He said it takes the band longer to make decisions, but all members are usually happy with theresults. "It's kept us together, but kept us from going foreward," Clark said.

Marcus said the band hadonly recently been informed it was selected to appear on the album. Band members lamented thescarcity of places to play their music. "There's really only two or three places for local bands to play,"Fleischner said. Although Bellingham has plenty of bars, the band des- DAN TYLER cribed them as"middle-aged-drunk bars," and more likely to feature country and western music. The band memberssaid they like playing at the Up Up because "you don't have to be cool to play there." The Touristsperform tonight and tomorrow night at the Up Up Tavern. $1 cover.
