Western's current science building.Haggard Hall, is in violation of at least 10 state and federal safety codes, according to a reportcommissioned by the university. The report, released in January by Earl Walls Associates of California,found that Haggard had outlived its usefulness as a science facility. According to the report, safetyproblems posed by Haggard include inadequate ventilation in the chemistry laboratories,inadequate space to store hazardous chemicals, a lack of separate plumbing systems for sewage andtoxic wastes and the use of asbestos to insulate the building's pipes and attic. The electrical, heating,air conditioning and ventilation systems all are being pushed beyond their operating capacity. In sciencelaboratories, fume hoods are used to dispose of hazardous chemical fumes. But according to the report,Haggard's fume hoods are operating well below current environmental safety requirements. In addition, the hoods release fumes near fresh air intakes causing "dangerous cross-contamination." Western cancontinue using Haggard as a science building because it is protected by a "grandfather clause" thatexempts buildings constructed prior to the adoption of a code, from that code. But Haggard's safetyproblems have prompted the university to include $46 million in its capital budget request to thelegislature for new science facilities, Don Cole, vice president for Business and Financial Affairs, saidGov. Booth Gardner's capital budget recommendations to the Legislature Dec. 20 will be the firstindication whether the request will be funded. "If there is no funding in the foreseeable future, we will have to take a hard look at the curriculum and see what we can do," Cole said. Funds for the new buildingcould be appropriated in one sum, or in phases. Cole said. If funds are appropriated, the facilities couldtake six years to construct. Meanwhile, Cole and Paul Ford, vice president for Academic Affairs, saidthey plan to appoint a special committee, possibly this week, to review the use of hazardouschemicals and other harmful agents on campus. "(The committee) will develop a policy on how weacquire, use, store and dispose of hazardous and toxic chemicals," Ford said. "We are actively involvedin examin- S^HHiiliSiSHIliiil^B Vandals 'trash' vehicles rized" this weekend when one or more vandalsinflicted almost $5,000 worth of damage on 20 vehicles. Campus Police Lt. Lee Brown said thatsometime between 2:30 and 4:20 a.m. Sunday the vehicles were vandalized and suffered "every kindof damage imaginable." Because 20P, which is behind the water tower south of Kappa Ridgeway, isisolated and surrounded by trees, it's more prone to acts of vandalism, Brown said. One broken mirroror a dented door is the most likely incident of vehicle vandalism on campus. He said he can rememberincidents when three, four or five cars were vandalized, or when considerable damage had been doneto one vehicle. But Brown said he has never seen an incident where 20 vehicles were "totally trashed." Radio antennas were bent, sunroofs were broken, mirrors were smashed or torn off, license plates were bent and torn off, doors were kicked and dented, convert i ble tops were ripped and interiors weredamaged. One vehicle for example, had its left rear window smashed, its left front door sprung out ofalignment, its left side body panel dented, its left side mirror and left side windshield wiper broken, itsglove box cover ripped off the dashboard, its turn signal and windshield wiperarms bent on the steeringcolumn and its dimmer light switch broken off the column. A convert ible top was torn off one carcausing $800 worth of damage and $65 worth of property was stolen from one vehicle, he said. Brown said he had no details of the investigation into the incident, which is being handled by an investigation team. Fine time Parking official suggests £iiati£U3Lbe ineiDeased :||iiy:(l^Cjiiiigi MIKE GWNKVietnamese student DatPhanpeiforms a classical guitar number ^tinteniia^iw By David Cuillier Parkingcitations on Western's campus could increase as much as $ 12 by next fall if a suggestion by a parkingauthority is accepted by university and state officials. Parking administrator Dorothy Telles suggested to the Parking Advisory Committee at its meeting last Friday that citations be increased to $15 forthose who park without a proper permit. Telles said she suggested the increase to $15 from $3 not tobring more money to the parking office, but to deter non-permit drivers from using permit-paid lots."People are paying no attention to the $3 fine," she said. "What happens is when they take thechance to park without a permit, someone who has one will be pushed out of the parking lot." If thecommittee were to draft a proposal by January, the increase could be in effect by fall quarter of nextyear, Telles said. The proposal would be presented to Western's administration, the Board ofTrustees, go through a public hearing and then be sent to code administrators in Olympia, Telles said. Telles told the committee that violations of parking without a permit were 26,105 last year. Shecompared this number to the 24,415 violators caught in 1983-84. Non-permit violations account for 54percent of all citations, while out-of-area violations account for 16 percent of all parking citations,Telles said. Non-permit holders are those who have no permits at all and park on campus. Out-of-areaviolaters are those who park outside of their designated permit lot. A survey on fines recently wascompleted by Telles, who talked with parking officials at other state universities. "When I told (otherparking officials) how many citations we gave out. and they went 'wow.' I ^SeeSi»AR^Gv'p.;6 x£k)^:SProposed AS agenda avoids controversy A preliminary legislative agenda that avoids controversy andfocuses on higher education issues will go before the Associated Students Board of Directorstomorrow for discussion. Unlike last year's agenda, which included positions on apartheid, abortionand gay rights, the six items approved so far by the AS Legislative and Community Affairs Committeeresemble Western's budget request to. the Legislature. The numberrone priority established by theLCAC for the board's consideration is equitable funding between the state's regional universities saidCommittee Chairman Dan Wood, AS vice president for external affairs. Western currently receives$513 less per full-time-equivalent (FTE) student from the state than Central and Eastern Washingtonuniversities, Wood said. Another item adopted by the LCAC supports Western's request to theLegislature to raise its enrollment lid by 150 FTE in each year of the 1987-89 biennium. The LCAC alsosupports W_estern's request to the Legislature for $ 1.8 million to partially fund a proposed remodel ofthe Viking Union. Wood said the LCAC supports a recommendation by the state's Higher Education Coordinating Board that asks the Legislature for more than $ 100 million in salary increases for thestate's higher education faculty during the next biennium. The increases would bring salary levels inWashington up to levels at similar, "peer" institutions in other states. The LCAC request, however, asksthat salaries of student teaching assistants and research assistants also be raised to the level of theirout-of-state peers. Other agenda items ask for an increase in reciprocity agreements with other statesand nations and request help in financ ing the construction and operation of day-care facilities toincrease educational access for students with children. The LCAC may approve additional items ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1986 Clause exempts Haggard Hall from rules ing the issues." New science facilities are the number-two priority in Western's capital budget request, following the second phase of the "Arts/Tech" project. The $3.2 million requested for phase two would be used tobuild classrooms and laboratories for the new technology building and to construct a new campus artgallery. Haggard was designed in the 1950s and completed in 1960 when Western had only 3,200students. Now, more than 9,000 students attend Western. University Safety Officer Jose Harrison saidsafety codes are much more strict now than they were when Haggard was built. "There is a greatconcern with the present state (of Haggard)," Harrison said. "That's why we're asking for a newbuilding." Harrison said the chemical odors that can be smelled in the halls of Haggard demonstrate theextent of the ventilation problem. And Haggard doesn't have enough space to properly store chemicals,Harrison said. "It's frightening," he said. "Chemicals are stacked eight feet high. "Chemicals arestored alphabetically, not by their reactivity. If there were an earthquake or someone bumped into them, I don't know what would happen." A lack of separate plumbing for sewage arid toxic wastes createsproblems for Western, Harrison said. Ignitable chemicals can't be disposed of by washing them downthe drain, he said. They are solidified in plastic milk containers filled with sawdust and taken to beburned at the Thermal Reduction Company, Inc. in Bellingham. The use of asbestos piping andinsulation is widespread across campus, Harrison said. Instead of replacing the asbestos with asafer insulating material, the pipes are encapsulated or painted with magnesium oxide as a temporaryremedy. The encapsulation lasts about three years, he said. "It is safe to say that Haggard Hall isborderline safe," he said. But Western has taken some measures to guard against the potential safetyhazards, he added. In May of 1985, a "Right to Know" law was passed to ensure faculty, staff andstudents have knowledge of the chemicals with which they may be working, he said. Harrison said hedeveloped material data safety sheets to be checked out with each chemical. The safety sheets provideinformation about the inherent hazards of each chemical and what to do for first aid or in case of a spill."Students need to know what the hell is going on," he said. In case of a chemical spill, the universityhas five spill kits on campus, Harrison said. Haggard Hall has one, university police has two, HuxleyCollege has one and the physical plant has one. Harrison said each kit has a different cleaning agent tomop up after most of the chemicals used on campus. If money is appropriated for the new facilities, they would be constructed adjacent to the Environmental Studies Center and would house the biology,chemistry, science education and other science programs. Budget appropriations "for a new sciencebuilding would enable the university to use Haggard for other purposes. According to the Walls report,space shortages exist in Wilson Library, Bond Hall, the Humanities Building and High Street Hall.Although Haggard can't safely house science facilities, it could be remodeled for other uses.CROSSCOUNTRY SKI EQUIPMENT Sales Rental • Large Selection New Used Bikes • A Full Service Repair Facility • Skateboards • Snowboards FAIRHAVEN BICYCLE 1103 11th Street onBellingham's South Side Western Front Editor Winter Quarter '87 NEEDED: Western Front Editor,Winter Quarter 1987.

Magumi Kobayashi, president of the club, welcomedmore than 200 guests who filled the Viking Union Lounge. Members of the International Students' Club gather to promote understanding between people from different cultures and to get to know each other better, Kobayashi said. International songs, dances and karate demonstrations entertained guestswhile traditional foods were prepared. People sampled cuisine from various countries including Korea,China, Japan, Vietnam, Germany, Italy and Libya, Kobayashi said. Appreciative laughter filled the VULounge when Kobayashi said, "Trying to get 10 different countries to cooperate at the same time isdifficult." When the international buffet was ready to be served, she asked guests to "move quickly andsmoothly to the table of your choice and don't fight." Fighting did break out on stage when DuaneSammons, owner and chief instructor of the Bellingham Academy of Self Defense, and 20 karatestudents, demonstrated a variety of martial arts techniques. Sammons has earned a fourth degree black belt in Gojuryu and holds a black belt in laido and Kenda, all forms of Japanese karate. Gojuryu is thestyle of karate taught at MIKEGWYNN Guests at International Night sample delicacies Friday in theViking Union. the academy, Sammons said. Students demonstrated different "Katas" or practicetechniques for fighting an imaginary opponent. Some opponents were not imaginary, laido, techniquesfrom the sword art, demonstrated by Reg Bratz, Ken Field, Doug Lafferty and Russ Lyman, featuredkatas for offense and defense with the Japanese "Katana," a sword with a 27-inch to 30-inch curvedblade. The laido demonstration ended with each participant executing a formal bow to his sword. DaveLarson, black belt, attacked Carla Kelley, brown belt with a dagger. Kelley, with quick turns, kicks andpunches, not only disarmed Larson but downed him. She "carved her initials in the back of his neck"'with his own dagger, Sammons said. Because Kelley's moves were so quick, Sammons asked theopponents to repeat the demonstration in slow motion and described each move as it was made.Sammons dubbed AI Kelley, Carla's 11-year-old brother, their own "Karate Kid." AI Kelley is the rankingbrown belt in his age bracket, Sammons said. Bill Carter, black belt, attacked the "Karate Kid," but AIKelley defeated Carter with well-placed punches and kicks. Kelley downed his attacker by climbingCarter's six-foot, 200-pound frame. The festivities resembled a large family reunion with everyonetalking at once in a dozen different languages. Patient adults waited in line for the bountiful internationalbuffet while youngsters roamed the room. Entertainers from around the world performed while, guestssampled ethnic foods. Performances included folk dances from Iran and China, a Vietnamese martialarts demonstration, piano and guitar solos, and songs sung in English, Japanese, Spanish and Italian.Simeon Nixon, from the island of Fiji, described activities and teaching methods used at the University ofthe South Pacific. The university serves an area three times the size of Europe, but the combinedland mass of all the islands is about the size of Denmark, Nixon said. Unlike American universities,Nixon said, students gather at meeting places on their home islands to hear lectures broadcast by radiofrom Suva, the capitol of Fiji. PEACESAT, an earth-orbiting satellite, relays the broadcasts to the far-flung reaches of the campus, Nixon explained. A hush fell over the room when Tomo Sato played theviolin to accompany Magumi. Kobayashi, club president, who sang a Japanese song titled "The MoonOver the Old Castle." Ya.sunori Hasiiwa, from Japan, played the guitar and sang a medley of songs.Enthusiastic applause greeted Hasiiwa's English rendition of "Twist and Shout." Hasiiwa then sang theCuban Song "Guantanamara" in Spanish. Magumi Kobayashi and Tomo Sato joined Hasiiwa in singing"Ueo Muite Aruko," better known to American audiences as "Suki Yaki" in Japanese, to end thefestivities. Chinese administrators fccM service set tour Western's program I for graduate student ByKim Washburn Three administrators from a China cooperative language and study program touredWestern to get an overview of the China studies department. Arthur Kimmel, director of foreign studiesat Western, was host to the three visitors from Shanghai's Fudan University over the weekend. CaiChuan-lian, director of the overseas students department at Fudan University, Fan Yu Min, administratorof the overseas students department at Fudan and Chen A Bao, Chinese language instructor werehonored at a reception given at Western's Faculty Club Friday night. The China Cooperative Language and Study Program is a branch of the Council on International Educational Exchange, a consortium of institutions around the world striving to accomplish what one college working alone could never do,..According to a brochure from the CIEE, participants in cooperative programs in China represent thelargest number of U.S. students studying in that country. Western, as one of the cooperative centersfor study abroad, has participated in the China program for the past three years. Kimmel, who also is amember of the CIEE board of directors, said this particular type of exchange program has a sense ofpermanence about it. It operates year after year on a solid academic base, he said. Kimmel saidWestern doesn't send many students to China in comparison to the number it sends to other countries. The main obstacle is the fact programs with China are much more expensive, he added. Western hassent a few students to Mongolia in a program that "has been fairly successful," Kimmel said. VIenrySchwarz of Western has developed a program through Ho Hot University in Mongolia. "This is Western'sonly Asian exchange with a track record," Kimmel said. Fudan University features liberal arts andsciences programs. The summer session at Fudan specializes in improving Chinese language skills.The program also emphasizes practical vocabulary and conversation, special lectures and culturalactivities, according to the brochure put out by the ICEE. Students interested in applying for theprogram are required to complete one year of Mandarin Chinese and have one Chinese area studycourse before beginning the program. While in China, students are housed in university dormitories.Although the program is now a summer session, it was originally an academic year course andstudents who elect to do so may stay and work into an academic year, Kimmel said. A memorialservice for Callic Lynn Garcia, 34, a Western student from Sedro-Woolley, is scheduled for 4 p.m.Friday at Campus Christian Ministry. Garcia, and her husband Pat Neble, were found dead shortly after10 p.m. Nov. 11, at the family home in Sedro-Woolley. Mary Kermen, spokeswoman with the SkagitCounty Sheriff's office, said Neble apparently shot Garcia and then shot himself. Garcia was workingtoward a master's degree in education at Western. Neble was a fifth-grade teacher in Stanwood. "Lynnwas a talented teacher and was an excellent model for those preparing for the teachingprofession,"according to a memorial notice from Western's School of Education. She was born inAlbuquerque, New Mexico. July 8. 1952. She was the daughter of Oliver and Joyce Garcia.

Wilcox examined the "why" of extreme beliefs during his lecture on the"Psychology of Extremism" at Western last Thursday. His conclusions were based on more than 20years of studying political organizations on the far left and far right. Wilcox said he spends half his time as a carpenter and half as a researcher. His research led him, in 1965, to establish the WilcoxCollection on Contemporary Political Movements, one of the largest of its kind, at the University ofKansas. The collection contains about 5,000 books and pamphlets covering about 7,000 extremistgroups. He also publishes "Guide to the American Right,"Guide to the American Left," "Guide to theAmerican Occult"and "The Wilcox Report," a newsletter on the American left and right. Wilcox hasinvestigated these groups from the inside, by attending their meetings and speaking with theirmembers. He has come to know, he said, about 400 members of extremist groups, having dinner withthem, and in some cases forming 20-year friendships with them. "They were all united — every one of them — in their desire, in their own way, to do the right thing as they saw it," he said. Extremists canbe identified more accurately by the way they behave than by what they believe, he said. "Extremismhas much more to do with a manner of relating, a kind of shrillness, an anger, a tendency to call names,a tendency to be unfair and arbitrary," he said. "I've met people who were Marxists, which one wouldthink of as being very extreme, who were very rational and even-handed; interested in what 1 had to say;were always glad when somebody contradicted them because it helped them think things out." Acharacteristic of a fanatic or extremist is an inability to see another point of view. "Their emotionalinvestment in their beliefs is so strong that it's almost painful for them to consider a counterview," hesaid. Extremist groups tend to have a strong desire to censor or silence their critics. "When they want to silence the opposition, this is a dead giveaway these people are up to no good," he said. "The desireto censor or silence comes from the fear of ideas." To avoid being iured into an extremist group,"Whenever you. find yourself inor-dinantly convinced by a particular argument, it's a good idea toexpose yourself to counter propaganda. "Examine your beliefs." Wilcox said. "Develop an appreciationfor clear, logical thinking." . "Any time someone says 'trust me,' or like the Rev. Moon says. 'You don't need a mind, I'11 do your thinking for you'— the minute you hear that, get out. "Don't ever lose yourcapacity for skepticism. It's the most valuable thing you've got." he said.

"In aromantic context when we become infatuated with another person we idealizethem. We tend toemphasize their good points and overlook their faults. We tend to rationalize their behaviors. We tendto interpret things positively." Fanatics, he said, usually are unable to understand their own motives injoining these groups. "People who become blind to their own motives are basically strangers tothemselves," he said. Their motives are often an attempt to satisfy a need not directly related to theideologies of the groups they join. Wilcox made a strong distinction between a "reason to believe" anda "need to believe," saying an extremist is characterized by a "need to believe." "With the need tobelieve, the belief is comforting, it fulfills some important psychological function. The emphasis is upon feelings and anxiety reduction." "Most people, and particularly political ideologues or members of various cults and related movements, believe what they believe simply because it makes them feel good," hesaid. Individual motives for adopting ideologies and joining ideological groups differ, but Wilcox outlined nine basic categories. The first, the need to feel morally superior, Wilcox said was nearly universal."Moral worth is acquired from beliefs and causes," he said. "One can acheive status in the eyes ofoneself and other people by believing and championing good causes, whether it's being kind to animalsor shooting black people, depending upon the culture you're a part of." A second motive, closelyrelated to the first, is low self-esteem. "Very few ideological fanatics are very satisfied with themselves.Inwardly they tend to be perfectionists. It's easier to imagine a perfect world than it is to imagine aperfect self. Their political activism is basically a perfuming operation." Wilcox cited envy andresentment as the primary motive for many leftists and social reformers, and for classical anti-semitism. "The implicit message is that anyone who is more successful than I am must have gotten there by some dishonest or exploitative means," he said. Propaganda addiction is another motive he said was fairlycommon among members of extremist groups. Certain personalities are especially vulnerable to a skillful emotional appeal, he said. "Some people really get caught up in this, it's hard to believe. Their wholebody just seems to respond to what's going on around them." Once, he said, he played a record ofGeorge Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, at a meeting of the Socialist Labor Party."He (Rockwell) gave a very stirring speech. His message was terrible but he delivered it about as well as I think anybody could. "One fellow in the room was just transfixed. This guy had been a member ofthe Socialist Labor Party for years, he was a confirmed Marxist, and he was transfixed. He listened."Later on I noticed him taking down the address of the American Nazi Party off the record jacket." Threeyears later, Wilcox said he found the man had moved to another part of the country and become amember of the American Nazi Party. A fourth reason Wilcox gave for joining an extremist group is toovercome feelings of helplessness. This, he said, is "fairly common among some of the more nuttypolitical extremists." Another reason he gave is the need to feel unique or special. Many fanatics, hesaid, are people who are outcasts for some reason. "Unusual belief systems tend to rationalize a feltsense of alienation from others because one is different," he said. "The political cause or the cult accepts them. It assigns special meaning to their several other people in the body shop belonged to the localKlavern, and he felt that he could get along better with his co-workers, and maybe get a raise andpromotion if he became like them. So he joined the Ku Klux Klan, for as trivial a reason as that." Somepeople develop belief systems through an extension of the parent-child conflict, he said, becomingrightists or leftists because their parents were or were not. "Ireally never met a hardcore radical —left or right — that I ever felt was completely grown up. They tended to be impa- VVhen they want tosilence the opposition, this is a dead giveaway these people are up to no good.9 — Laird Wilcoxstrangeness." People also join ideological movements as a diversion from personal problems, he said."Many hardcore fanatics and activists have lives that are full of turmoil," he said. Social pressure isanother reason people join extremist groups. Many people, Wilcox said, acquire their beliefs through a "kind of osmosis" from the people around them. Wilcox cited one young man who became a member of the Ku Klux Klan because "he worked in a body shop and tient, whining, complaining children," he said. A final reason Wilcox gave for joining an extremist group is suffering from paranoid delusions. Thesepeople, he said, are usually paranoid first and political second, and are too suspicious and fearful toaccomplish much. "Having extreme political feelings and opinions is very much a part of the humancondition," he said. "I learned a long time ago not to hate people or denigrate them because they hadunusual political ideas." r One Gf The Nation's LeadingEmployers Is Now Interviewing On Campus.

Smith lia mum Western's Alumni Association will launch its legislative lobbying effortswith "Legislative dinners" in December, Chris Goldsmith, Alumni Office director, said. Alumni willinvite legislators from several key districts to dinner. At the dinner, one couple, consisting of at leastone alumni, will be assigned to each legislator. At the dinner, alumni will tell legislators about Western's primary legislative goals for the upcoming session in January and why those goals should win support. None of this will surprise legislators. Goldsmith said. "They're invited to dinners like this all the time,"he said. "They know what to expect." Dinners are tentatively planned in Olympia, Everett, Bellevue andsomewhere between Mount Vernon and Marysville. Al Froderberg, Western's legislative liaison, andGoldsmith will attend the dinners. "This is just the first step in our efforts to get legislators to realizethey have numerous constituents who care about Western," Froderberg said. The Alumni Office now isarranging a telephone legislative lobbying network in which 400 to 500 alumni are expected toparticipate. Alumni advocates will call legislators in their districts and push the school's position whenissues important to Western arise in the Legislature. The network is expected to be in operation inJanuary.

She compared Western to Washington StateUniversity because of its similar parking program. WSU fines students $15 for the same violation. Finesat Western haven't been increased since 1980, when the fines increased $2, Telles said. Telles told thecommittee the suggested increase probably wouldn't affect parking revenue because she predicted thenumber of citations would decrease. Before 1980, when on-campus parking wasn't so scarce, the finefor not having a permit was $1, Telles said. Similarly, she said, Central Washington University charges$3 because they have "plenty of parking." According to Telles' survey. Eastern Washington Universityfines $9 for the non-permit violation, the University of Washington fines $5 and The Evergreen StateCollege fines $5. Telles said the fine would probably be reduced by one-third or one-half if paid within 24hours of the citation. Committee member Robert Stoops, of the liberal studies department, agreed withTelles. "The goal is enforcement, not making money," Stoops said. Students, however, probably will not support the increase, Telles said. "We've been called every name in the book, and a few that aren't inthe book," she said. Western has had the same parking enforcement of two daytime checkers andtwo part-time night workers for three years, Telles said. Twelve percent of all citations are non-permitviolations occurring in the parking lot behind Carver Gymnasium. Telles said 14 complaints from permit holders led to car towings this year. "You don't have to have three citations to be towed," Telles said.Committee member Fred Ondeck, of the student employment center, said some people may not seethe increase as solving the problem. "We as a committee want to show people what parking is doingabout the problems. The main problem is the scarcity of parking," he said. The committee discussed the problem of scarce parking and how it could be solved. Telles told the committee a plot of land on thecorner of 21 st Street and College Parkway will open 400 to 500 parking spots for students. The projectcost the parking department $21,000 and parking will be free of charge. The lot, now being prepared, willbe ready when the land is bulldozed and settled, she said. Telles could not give a time estimate of when it will be completed. Possibilities of building a parking lot east of the Ridgeway residences and buildinga parking garage also were discussed.

Wood said a conscious effort was made by committee members to includeonly higher education issues in the agenda. The disadvantage of taking controversial stands on non-educational issues, he said, is that limited lobbying resources are "spread thin" on potentially divisiveissues. Committee member DeAnn Pullar, AS Community Liaison,said last year's legislative agendaincluded several controversial issues, which should not have been included and which she, as amember of the LCAC last year, opposed. By attempting to be more representative of all students, thisyear's agenda could get broader support from students and legislators than an agenda that tookpositions on controversial issues, she said. Society wants smoke-free day The tenth annual GreatAmerican Smokeout, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, is scheduled for Thursday. The goalof this year's smokeout is to get at least one in every five smokers to give up cigarettes for 24 hours. The day is intended to be good-natured and upbeat,"according to the Cancer Society. Western's StudentHealth Center will participate in the event, said Jennifer Roy, director of the center. A bulletin board in the Health Center will carry pamphlets and facts about smoking. Weather permitting, the center'swellness . cart will be in Red Square distributing information and offering encouragement, Roysaid. The Associated Students Drug Information Office has no plans to participate in this year'sSmokeout Day. Gay Daugherty, coordinator of the Drug Information Center, said the office usually gets a packet of information from the American Cancer Society. "We haven't received anything from them."Daugherty said. "I didn't even know what day the Smokeout was." In the 10 years since the first nationalsmokeout, a decline in tobacco consumption has taken place, and fewer than 30 percent of Americanadults now smoke. In 1976, more than 40 percent of Americans smoked, according to a NationalHealth Interview Survey. More people are quitting smoking. From 1978 to 1985, the number of formersmokers rose to more than 37 million from 31.5 million. Eighteen percent of college women and 10percent of college men still smoke daily, a recent study for the National Institute on Drug Abuseindicated. CHRIS BAI inviN The American Cancer Society offers these tips for Smokeout Day: *Throwout all cigarettes and clean out all ashtrays in your home or car. *Exercise and change habitsassociated with smoking. *Keep your hands and mind busy to avoid the temptation of smoking. *Reward yourself for not smoking with oral substitutes such as gum. *Thinking about negative imagesconnected with smoking can help alleviate urges to smoke.

DANTYl.ER Pesticides are extracted from water samples. Iguarantee this apple does not have one hole in it. . . You know why that is? It was treated withpesticides.' ildlife is an important resource in the state of Washington — a resource being destroyed by agricultural chemicals, said the director of Western's Institute of Wildlife Toxicology. Pesticides used todeter insects also are killing animals and altering their behavior. Ron Kendall, director of the institute,said at a presentation in the Wilson Library Thursday. The toxins disturb their reproductive conduct andchange the quality of the environment, he said. Larry Brewer, an assistant professor at Western's Huxley College who collaborates with Kendall on wildlife research, warned that toxins found in pesticides also can be harmful to humans. "If it is affecting wildlife, the potential is there that it will affect human life."Brewer said in a telephone interview. Brewer assists Kendall in conducting tests to determine the effectsof toxic chemicals on birds and other mammals in hopes of protecting wildlife from harmful pesticides.Only three universities in the United States conduct such tests — Michigan State University, CornellUniversity and Western. In the institute's laboratory at Huxley, bobwhite quail are tested to determinethe consequences of pesticides on birds. The emphasis of the testing, however, has been on examiningwildlife in its natural environment, Kendall said. He measures the mortality of birds in specific areas anddetermines if the cause of death is chemically related, Birds, however, hide when they die, which makes the bodies hard to find, he said. Because of the difficulty in finding the bodfesof ehem^ dail questionswhat the d v. represents^;: .;b€;;v:-^---:vv; - ;\;:;:-:-::,;.;:;::^; ;;?£;-:£$hen^ s;;represc^ ^vvSKen^ ^ p es t i c i^ | r e p r ^^ ?::;:'::;^Bi^ p;enyiip^ into contact with, Kendall explained to the audience. Brewersaid, "a major source of wildlife loss of productivity is the effect of agricultural chemicals." SkagitValley particularly is guilty of chemically damaging the wild life, Kendall said. The production of peasand other vegetable crops in the area has entailed the aerial application of pesticides. "In Skagit Valleya very unique situation exists . . . they've created a wonderful water fowl breeding area and at thesame time they are hitting it continuously with a multitude of chemicals," Kendall said at thepresentation. Kendall examines whether chemical residue in Skagit Valley is present in the vegetationand insects the birds feed on and what effects it has on the birds. Richard Mayer, a Huxley professor,aids Kendall in examining the effects of chemical toxins on birds. He determines pesticide levels in water and grass. Mayer also examines the gastrointestinal tract, and organ tissues of dead-birds for tracesof toxic chemicals, he said while sitting in his office in the Environmental Studies Building. Mayer saidgolf courses particularly are to blame for spreading toxic chemicals. Kendall agrees. "You see thesepretty courses . . . with nice green turfs . . .the reason they look so pretty is because they have to usecompounds (chemical toxins) to keep them that way; lots of herbicides and insecticides," Kendall said.Kendall is concerned because many birds use the golf course as a refuge. During one test on a golfcourse in Florida;, 63 species were ; ;.;•. i lt;d e p t i f l e d " :.:.':";;: ;.. :•: -; •:- :^;, •; •;:::|v; jwithrtpxins more frequently than bthef :;J§/Befo §the;:jip^ ltli£;audience^ rurn^A explained h lt;:appl6;i'n:;Hi's-::rh^ "I guarantee this apple does not have one worm hole in it," he said. "Look at it,"he challenged the onlookers." it's shiny, it's waxed. You know why that it is?" he asked, "it was treatedwith pesticides." "It is almost impossible now to produce an apple without some form of ' damagewithout (using) some kind of a pesticide." Kendall said. Kendall said he would rather buy a damaged fruit than.one treated with pesticides. "1 would buy the wormy apple, I swear I would," Kendall said with asmile. Pesticides, however, arc not always harmful, Kendall explained. In the spring of 1984 a chemicalwas sprayed in Florida. It killed insects, bringing them to the surface where birds ate them. ecausethe food was so readily available, the bird population increased by 300 percent. Kendall said. "It wasnever easier for them to get food," he said with a laugh. The tests Kendall performs are costly,| he said.Western, however, gives the institute very little funding, so the majority of the money Kendall receivesfor studies comes from grants. The Institute of Wildlife Toxicology recently received 5100,000 from theEnvironmental Protection Agency to study the effects of chemical toxins on songbirds, Kendall said. Inaddition. Shell Oil, Chevron Chemical, SMC Corp. .and other chemical industry corporations havedonated money for testing. Kendall said funding for the last five years will exceed SI million pendingsome grants he anticipates the institute will receive.

Western had no trouble putting its priorities in order. Thousands ofstudents take laboratory classes in Haggard Hall each year, many of them to fulfill General UniversityRequirements. By any modern standards, the building is unsafe and potentially dangerous. An adequateventilation system and ample storage space for hazardous chemicals are non-existent. But there's noshortage of asbestos. It's not certain exactly when university officials realized how serious Haggard'senvironmental problems were, although it's hard to believe a consultant's report was needed to informthem ventilation is so poor the halls reek- This August, finally acknowledging in its Facilities and CapitalPlan that Haggard "posed serious health and safety concerns," Western established the construction ofsafer science facilities as its number-two priority in its capital budget request to the Legislature.BecauscHaggard poses "serious concerns," why not establish safe science facilities as the number-onepriority? But the technology programs, which will train workers for the Boeing Company, John FlukeManufacturing, Inc. and other industrial firms, are Western's number-one priority. And Western's effort tofinish the new.technology building as soon as possible is concrete proof of that priority. Once thebuilding is constructed, then technology will be a permanent fixture at Western and the new buildingwill justify the further expansion of programs. Administration officials may say the arts and sciences arethe core of a university education, but one glance at this school's capital budget request shows exactlywhat kind of future is being built for Western. Reagan's speech digs him deeper The mendacity ofPresident Reagan's TV speech last Thursday is clear in several factual contradictions reported by topgovernment officials and the president himself concerning the Iranian arms deals. According to The NewYork Times, Secretary of State George Schuitz publicly assured foreign ministers we were blocking a\\arms sales to Iran, while the White House secretly was arranging for such arms shipments to Teheran.Reagan, in his speech, stated the 18-month long "secret, diplomatic initiative" between the White Houseand Iran attempted to safely return all the hostages. This "initiative," by Reagan's own admission,authorized the shipment of arms to Iran. The arms deal was accompanied by a message that Iran mustoppose all forms of terrorism, and suggested they could influence the pro-Iranian group to release thehostages held in Lebanon. It takes only a little more comprehension than Reagan seems to possess tosee that this is tradingarms to Iran in exchange for our hostages. Something he came on TV to deny.Reagan stated the"initiative"also was to bring an end to the Iran-Iraq war. Later in the speech, thepresident said these "modest deliveries . . . could rot affect the outcome of the 6-year war." Still later,Reagan said his secret overtures were to help "bring about a ceasefire . . . to prevent a widening of thewar." By shipping arms to Iran?! "We did not—repeat—did not trade weapons or anything else forhostages," Reagan said. "As President, I have always operated on the belief that, given the facts, theAmerican people will make the right decision." If only the American people had been given the facts in'84. !mmm^a^^^ Brian Malvey, editor-in chief* Niels Nokkentved, managing editor Juli Bergstrom, newseditor • Mary Barouh, David Cuillier, Sandra Treece, assistant news editors •Mark Connolly, opinioneditor • Kristi Moen, sports editor • Brian Bean, assistant sports editor • Judy Averill, ACCENTeditor Julie McGalliard, Lori Robinson, assistant ACCENT editors Karin Stanton, assistant editor •Monica White, design editor Jackie Soler, production manager • Dan Tyler, photo editor Mike Gwynn,photographer Mike Carroll, editorial cartoonist Laura Towey Chris Baldwin, graphic artists Lyle Harris,adviser The Front is the official newspaper of Western Washington University.

On this cold Monday morning I lookedforward, more than usual, to my hour-between-classes break—complete with hot coffee and anoversized chocolate chip cookie. As usual, I chose a table in the Viking Union coffee shop. But as Isettled into a cozy spot with thoughts of reading some intriguing term paper research, another piece of literature caught my eye. It was cleverly titled, "How well does your method of birth control work?"Well, to tell you the truth, it was the furthest thing from my mind! What was on my mind was the two 10-page term papers and the exam due in exactly one week. So, as I sat enjoying a hot cup of coffee, Iwas subjected to think about sex. Not just sex, mind you. but about my odds of getting pregnant.

Guest Commentary Sure, it's a necessary piece ofinformation (for those who engage in the act), but couldn't you be a bit more discrete?

'Humanism' is religion too Secular philosophies and their supposed connectionwith the public school room have been a lively topic in the media lately. While I do not agree with theextremism of some anti-humanist groups. I do believe there are some definite instances where theseparation of church and state is breached by the teaching of secular religion. 777^ New WebsterDictionary defines naturalism as: "the doctrine that there is no interference of any super-natural powerin the universe."God is taken out of the picture. Secular humanism is a natural outgrowth from this view, making humankind the sole arbitrator of all truth, morality and value. Man becomes a god untohimself. In the Torcaso case of 1961, the Supreme Court held that secular humanism was as much areligion as Christianity or Judaism. Of course, if this is true, it has no right to be taught evensubliminally in the classroom. But is it taught? I feel the best example I can use is from my ownpersonal experience. In my high school humanities class I was handed a textbook entitled. The GreatReligions by Which Men Live. by Floyd H. Ross. In the chapter on Christianity, Ross explained "it isalmost impossible to get a true historical picture of the man who unintentionally became the founder of the Christian religion." He even says "scholars recognize that we can never know Jesus as he really ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 18 - Page 11 ---------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1$, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 11 Students deserve their due swims WesternFront: This is not a letter expressing any political opinion, nor is it a rebuttal to anything printed in yourperiodical. It is merely a letter from a couple of college students who wish to take advantage ofour right of access to a free press in order that we may be heard, for we have a grievance. We are beingrobbed of exercise time at the Carver Gymnasium pool. We appreciate the thorough workout the bodyreceives through swimming and make it a point to swim every day during a designated lap swim time atthe Western pool. We chose the 8 a.m. time slot because it fit in well with our respective schedules.Ideally, we would like to get in a good half-hour's swim, from 8 to 8:30 a.m., before we get out in time tomake it to our 9 a.m. classes. And, according to the pool schedule, this should be no problem. However, the Western swim club/team and their instructor/coach apparently have not seen the schedule, or,more likely, have a casual disregard for it. Every morning we enter the pool area expecting to be ableto "jump right in," as it were, and begin our planned half-hour workout. But every morning we are forcedto wait for about five minutes or more—dripping wet, and cold—while the swim club finishes up itshour-long routine with instructions on a more effective flip-turn, the crawl stroke or a "ten-lap warm-down," among other things. We did not mind at first, and if it only happened occasionally we would becontent to let it slide. But as a daily occurrence, we cannot help but feel that it is an inconsiderateintrusion into our exercise time, as well as a disregard for our schedules. Indeed, based on 30-weekschool year and at a rate of five minutes per day, by the end of the year we will have had about 12 and-a-half hours of exercise denied us. That's the equivalent of 25 half-hour sessions we will have neverbenefitted from. This all may sound a bit trivial to some people, but is a matter of principle with us, andthat makes it all the more important. It is also on a matter of principle that we chose to write to TheFront rather than go directly to the swim club instructor. The fact is, we shouldn't have to take thelatter avenue. We must add here that we mean no disrespect to the swim club, the instructor oranyone involved therein. They all seem to be good people, and we admire their dedication to andenjoyment of the sport of swimming. We gladly respect and do not interfere with their designatedpool time, and we are certain that upon reading this they will be reasonable enough to give us thesame consideration. Tony Kurtz, Bruce Sarjent Front editorials too anti-Reagan Western Front: Why is it that whenever President Reagan makes a move, you cry "four*? If Reagan ignores the hostagesituation, he's attacked. If Reagan moves militarily to prevent hostage taking, he's attacked. If Reaganopens diplomatic channels or attempts . to ease the situation with trade, he's attacked. While I do notagree with all of the President's policies, I at least respect the complexity of international politics. Yourself-righteous Reagan-bashing convinces no one. It is obvious what the editorials will say, even beforeone opens The Front: whatever Reagan did was wrong. It takes no intelligence to always criticize. Showsome of Andy Perdue's courage and approach the situations with fewer presuppositions and moreintelligent thought. Try proposing some solutions for once! Like Andy, you may get attacked, but atleast you'll show some of the quieter elements on this campus that some writers actually think beforethey write. Gary L. Thomas Consumers free to buy foreign goods Western Front: Many of us are aware of the recent moral conviction placed on consumers to "buy American." It seems we are traitors if we buy any foreign product instead of an American-made equivalent. I will agree that buying American-made products saves jobs and helps our economy. But, an equally important issue is competition. If aforeign producer can put out a quality product at a lower price than an American counterpart, should we be criticized for buying the better deal. Take, for example, cars: foreign cars have been shown tobe of better quality overall than most American-made cars. And, on top of that, they cost consumerssignificantly less than most of the U.S.-made cars. The "good 'ol American way" tells me to go for thebetter deal, not pay more for a lower quality product to support American manufacturers. Don't get mewrong, I'm not anti-American. There was a time when American-made cars were of good quality and thecosts were competitive. Times have changed, and 1 feel that as a consumer I have a right to buy theproducts that make the most sense. If I am expected to support American-made products, somechanges better be made. Until the U.S.-made cars, motorcycles, stereo equipment, etc. can becompetitively priced with equal or better quality than the foreigners, I and many others will continue tobuy the best deal offered, even if that means going against American morality and purchasing a foreign-made product. Bra J Barrie Hazardous waste is trickling down Western Front: Reagan's trickle downeffect is finally showing its colors. First with the nation's nuclear waste dump being trickled upon us,and now, locally, with Columbia Cement's bid to use hazardous . waste to fuel their kilns. The federalgovernment defines a hazardous waste as "one that may cause or significantly contribute to seriousillness or death, or that possess substantial threat to human health or the environment when improperlymanaged." Chemical Processors, Inc., a Seattle-based company that needs to get rid of these wasteproducts, and Columbia Cement, who needs cheap fuel to help avoid bankruptcy, describe hazardous wastes as used oils and solvents. New solvents and oils might be safe to burn if properly managed butthese are used products, contaminated by metals, paints, epoxys and a host of things that evenChemical Processors might not know about. Too little information, testing and safeguards makehazardous waste burning .a very dubious proposition. Moreover, if it is illegal to burn hazardous wastesin highly populated areas (500.000 or more), is Bellingham any safer? Mayor Douglas is a member ofthe N.W. Air Pollution Authority. Ask him.

Returning there one week after a 41-12shelling by the University of Puget Sound, the Vikings closed out the 1986 season Saturday, dropping a 49-0 contest to Pacific Lutheran University. The loss put Western's record at 2-7, 1-5 in theNorthern Division of the Columbia Football League. PLU, ranked fifth in the National Association ofIntercollegiate Athletics Division II, is champion of the CFL North at 6-0, 8-1 overall. After opening theseason with two straight wins, Western ended the year with seven straight losses. In the last threegames, the Vikings have been outscored, 131-26. Western never was in the game, fumbling the ball six times, losing three, and throwing three interceptions. The Vikings only managed eight first downs and 104 total yards, just 30 on the ground. After Western's first two possessions ended prematurely with afumble and an interception, PLU's Dwayne Smith blocked a Peter LaBarge punt that Keith Krassinpounced on in the end zone for the Lutes' first touchdown. Krassin recovered another Western fumbleon the Viking 19. After two sacks and a penalty, Jeff Yarnell threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to SteveWelch. Welch now has caught at least one touchdown pass in 14 straight games. Pat Dorsey ran for127 yards in just six carries and scored two touchdowns, one from 45 yards out. Erik Krebs also scored twice while carrying the ball nine times for 42 yards. Smith recovered yet another Western fumble atthe Viking 14. Two plays later, Yarnell hit Welch from seven yards out to push PLU to a 21-0 halftimelead. The second half was no different as Dorsey and Krebs scored twice each for the 49-0 final.Western's only offensive spark was provided by Scott Lohr, who picked up 87 yards in 29 carries. Thefreshman tailback finished the year as Western's leading rusher, with 458 yards in 128 carries. Anotherfreshman, quarterback John Barger, started in place of an injured Kirk Kris-kovich and completed sixof 17 passes for 74 yards and three interceptions.

"This was Steve's best race of the season or possibly ever," coach Ralph Vernacchia said. "He's only the third runner in Western'shistory to have achieved the honor of All-America."

The crews raced the 1000 meter Frostbite Regatta on Greenlake Saturday and the three-mile Head of the Lake Regatta Sunday. The crews racedthrough the Montlake Cut from Lake Union to Lake Washington. Saturday, the men's junior varsity eight-man boat finished first out of a field of seven while the heavyweight placed fourth and the varsity boatfinished fifth. The lightweight boat started strong but finished fourth because of equipment problems. Thefollowing day. Western entered three eight-man boats. Rather than racing head-to-head, the boats beganthe race in intervals and competed against the other boats time. The results of Western's three boatswere unavailable at press time, but coach of the mens crew team Filip Leanderson said his squad didreasonably well. Leanderson was surprised at the number of boats that competed in the regatta. "Itwas a spectacle to see," Leanderson said. "There were boats from all over the Northwest." Although theVikings compete to win each race, Leanderson maintains that the main purpose of the fall regattas is togain experience. "We're just getting ready for this spring," Leanderson said. "We just want to developindividual technique and give everybody a chance to compete. It's more of a fun race." Saturday. Western will raise money for the rowing program in the annual crew row-a-thon. The crews will row 30 miles onLake Samish. The women's junior varsity and lightweight eight person boats finished 2nd and 4th.respectively, while the novice boat also finished 4th. Sailors blow through UW Despite heavy rains,Vikes squeak past other contenders WMiiiiiiB^BBiilllii Despite rainy weather, Western's sailing teamtook first, second, third, and sixth place in various divisions in the "Fathead the Cat" regatta at LakeWhatcom over the weekend. Four Western teams competed against eleven other teams in theregatta. "The reason Western sent four teams was to give some new people some experience," teammember Erik Hauge said. In sailing competition, each school sends two teams, an "A" team and a"B"team. The A team and B team each have two members, a skipper and a crew member. Forexample, in a regatta if nine teams compete, 36 races sail. Each team would race twice. After the Aand B teams sail, points are added to give a final score. The team with thelowest total points wins theregatta. Western's team number three, skippered by Paul Dorst and ere wed by Kim Nash, took firstplace after sailing to a 62 point tie with Western's team number one. Dorst and Nash were awarded firstplace in the regatta because they ruij'tiore first-place finishes than team number one. Third place went to Western's team number two with 68 points. Following Western were the University of Washington infourth place, Oregon State University's team number one in fifth place, Western's team number four insixth place, Oregon State University's team number two in seventh place. University of Puget Sound ineighth place. University of Oregon in ninth place, Seattle University in tenth place and Royal RoadsMilitary College of Victoria, B.C. in eleventh place. Hauge said, even though the weather was not ideal,the wind kept the boats sailing at a good pace. Sixteen races were completed on Saturday."Saturday, the winds were different than usual," Hauge said. Even so, "everyone on the team had good moments and competition was good." Sunday, the winds were not as good and heavy rain hampered sailing conditions, Hauge said.

TheVikings defeated Royal Roads Military College of Victoria. B.C. 8-1. Sunday, the icemen face offagainst British Columbia institute of Technology at 2:50 a.m. in Columbia Four Rinks. Dreams of going to nationals crumbled Friday for the women's soccer team as it was defeated 3-1 by St. Mary's Collegein the Region I Playoffs. Western started out strong against St. Mary's when Brenda Bock booted in agoal just 14 minutes into the match. But the Gaels, ranked number one nationally, proved too much forthe Vikes to handle scoring three unanswered goals. The Vikings had better luck in the consolationgame Saturday, beating Pacific University 3-1. Diana Inch. Beth Graham and Debbie Carter each scoredgoals in the match. Carter assisted on Graham's goal. St. Mary's was the eventual winner of thetournament defeating the University of Puget Sound 2-1 in the championship game. St. Mary's now will advance to nationals.

"Last year,"Western's men's basketball coach said as he popped the piece of crust into his mouth, "we needed toimprove the size of our front line. We've . done that. We felt we were a good team at the end of last year. We had a good recruiting year, and overall, we're much quicker than, we were last year." If better sizeand quickness translate into more wins, the Vikings may improve on last season's 11-15 record, ayear that was about as exciting as Jackson's sandwich. The second-year coach sees the team asmore comfortable with his coaching philosophy than last year. "It takes a while for players to adjust to a new situation," Jackson said. "By the end of the year, we started to play more like I wanted." Whichmeans a play-oriented, motion • offense, much like Louisville or UCLA. "The characteristic of thisteam is excellent quickness," Jackson said. "We want to maximize it. We'll use the fast break whenit's there, but we aren't UNLV. It will be a more controlled break." UNLV. the University of Nevada-LasVegas, is known for its fast-break offense. "On defense, we'll go primarily FRONT FILE PHOTO JuniorTim Dickerson maneuvers past a St. Martin player last season. with a switching, sagging man-to- manand press much of the time." Perhaps the key to Jackson's hopes is the addition of James Johnson, atransfer forward from Little Rock, Ark. "Purely from a physical standpoint, he's so gifted, he's easily ourbest player." Jackson said of the 6-foot-6 leaper. "James is a worker. He has tremendous desire toimprove. And he can be as good as he wants to be." Jackson sees few flaws in Johnson's game. "Hedoesn't have much experience at this level of competition," Jackson said. "He has to learn, somefundamentals, some subtleties of the game. He needs to learn that he doesn't have to do it all himself.Senior center Shane Nickel returns from a 1985-86 season that saw him lead the team in rebounding(8.1 a game), while shooting 59 percent from the floor. In the season finale against Lewis and Clark, hescored 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. "Shane is a hard-worker, a quality individual," Jackson saidof the 6-foot-7, 215-pound, three-year starter. "He's as close to an enforcer we have. Shane's real intense and a rugged rebounder." ' Jhe remaining starting spot on the front line is a question mark. SteveFeenstra, a 6-foot-6 forward who starred at Lynden High School, suffered a knee injury and probablywill miss the entire year. Dale Harris, at 6- foot-3, 195 pounds, will start beside Johnson and Nickel.He's a tough, hard-nosed kid who can put the ball in the hole," Jackson said of Harris. "He has powerand can hit the boards." The backcourt looks solid with Marcus Buren and Tim Dickerson holding downthe guard spots. Buren, at 5-foot-9, shows great quickness and an ability to penetrate inside andscore, or dish off to the open man. Dickerson became a starter midway through last year andimpressed Jackson with his maturity. An intriguing addition to the backcourt will be Manny Kim-mie, a6-foot-3 swingman who, Jackson said, "is as good an athlete as we've had here at Western.

Located atthe Bellingham International Airport He plays bigger than he actually is, so he'll play some smallforward for us as well. He has the potential to be one of the best guards I've ever coached. "We'll have as good a back-court as there is in the district, game in and game out." One reserve who will see much playing time is Scott Fincher, a 6-foot-1, sharpshooting guard who lost nearly 20 pounds during the off-season. "Scott has really made a commitment to this team," Jackson said. "He's gained somequickness since last season and has always been a great outside shooter." Also coming off thebench will be Garth Stroyan, a 6-foot-6 backup to Nickel. "Garth is much stronger and more confidentthis year." Jackson said. Scott Evans, a 6-foot-4 forward, "will make a real contribution. He canreally shoot the ball." Jackson said. Todd Smith, a 6-foot-2 freshman, also has proven he can shootplacing Nth on the all-time scoring list in the Greater Spokane League. Also slated to see action areMike Eisner and Mark Smith. One highlight on the Viking schedule is the inclusion of trips to Stanford(yes. that Stanford) and the University of Southern California (yes. that University of Southern California).Jackson sees both games as positive to Western basketball. "The goal of any coach is to improve thequality of the program. You do that by recruiting better athletes. A schedule like ours is going to beattractive to a lot of potential players. Ft creates interest. "It also can be an educational experience forour players through travel, and it tests ourselves against the best players around." The major changein the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics this year is the three-point line. Every shotmade from a line 19 feet, nine inches away from the basket will count three points. It will probably openup the middle, which could help us." Jackson said.
