Unseen They Suffer Unheard They Ciy In Agony TheyLinger In Loneliness They Die Thus reads the sign draped from the information table in front of Miller Hallnext to a simulated cage, in which a student sits motionless with a brown monkey's mask over her head. A sign on the cage reads, "75 hour vigil for the primates in Miller Hall." It's all part of a protest carriedout by 15 people concerned about the well-being of research animals in laboratories across the nation,and specifically, the eight primates used for experiments in the basement of Miller Hall. The group,which calls itself the Animal Rights Campaign of Whatcom County, will trade off six-hour shifts in thecage until the rally in Red Square Friday when the simulated captive will be freed, and various speakerswill be presented. "We're trying to show people what it would be like to live in a cage," said Cheryl Piatt,a Bcllingham commercial artist who organized the event. The experiments in Miller Hall commonly havebeen the cause of much protest by students who want to know what type of experiments are being carried out. Merle Prim of the psychology department, who is in charge of the primate research, is commonlycriticized for being rather secretive about the experiments. Piatt said Prim's research is funded withtaxpayers' money, and therefore, the public has a right to know what he is doing in his lab. ButRichard Thompson, chairman of the psychology department, said, "The public and university are notcontributing a large amount of money to fund his lab." He said Prim is the chief contributor and thepsychology department provides only "incidental support." Plait explained her reasons for objecting to the animal experimentation at Western while sitting in the cage Tuesday afternoon. She said it is not fairthat information about the experiments is kept "undercover" and believes Prim "must have something to hide," because he often refuses to answer questions about the experiments, and has not allowedthem to read his research proposals. But Wednesday, Prim did answer questions regarding hisexperiments. He would answer only in writing because he is cautious of being misinterpreted. He said,"Most accusations that I have encountered have come from...lhosc who are ignorant of what I am doing (or) ...those who have a moral stance which docs not accept that live animal research should beaccomplished at this university or any university." •"' • He said one of the main reasons entrance tothe primate lab is restricted is because monkeys arc susceptible to tuberculosis and can not recoveronce inflicted. The simple solution to this problem is to lock . humans out of the lab. Those whooppose any animal research "do not accept any factual argument that what I do has value," he said. Andso, "There is little that can be gained from a discussion with (them)." Brochures distributed near thedemonstration — see ANIMALS, p.2 U.S.-Japan trade 'problem': interpretation, consul says By TimMillard staff reporter A recent charge that Japan flooded the United States with semi-conductors inviolation of a previous trade agreement should not be allowed to destroy relations between the two"greatest trading countries in the world. At least that's the opinion of the Consul-General of Japan,Shigenobu Nagai, as stated during a lecture Tuesday in the Library Presentation Room. Nagai said thecombined total of the United States' and Japan's Gross National Products account for one-third of theworld's GNP. And trade between the two is about one-quarter of the world's total trade, so a trade warbetween the two countries would have a tremendous world effect. Because of the great economicpower of the two countries, many Japanese consider the United States-Japanese, bi-lateral relationshipto be the most important one in the world. "We must solve this (trade issue) with high conscienceand care based on partnership," Nagai said. The problem is one of interpretation, he said. TheJapanese do not think they unloaded loo many conductors but instead think the U.S. conductors couldnot compete. He pointed to the high value of the dollar within the last several years as a contributingfactor. It made U.S. products much more expensive and less competitive on the world market. This isbecoming a current problem for the Japanese with the large gains the yen has had lately against theworld market. Nagai said currently the U.S. trade deficit with Japan is $58.6 billion, the largestimbalance the United States has with any single country. He quickly pointed out the United States hastrade deficits with most countries. Canada is •second to Japan at $23.3 billion. Newly industrializedAsian count r i e s such as South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan combine for $36 billion. The European nations combine for $26 billion, and Latin America is at $13.6 billion. The global total for 1986 cameto a deficit of $170 billion. He said Japan has a growing awareness, to cooperate in fixing a mutualproblem. Work currently is being done to open new market areas, increase domestic demand and makeeconomic structural adjustments. Nagai also talked about the economic relationship between Japanand Washington State. Washington is second among the states in the amount of Japanese trade with14 percent. California is first at 33 percent. In 1985, Washington imported $9.2 billion from Japan whileexporting $3.5 billion. Although it appears to be a large imbalance, he said 70 to 80 percent ofimports are "unloaded here and are transported to the midwest or elsewhere." Of Washingtonexporters to Japan, Boeing, Co. ranked top in- 1985 with $7 billion. Japan is B o e i n g ' s largestoverseas customer, Nagai said. A cooperative project now is underway between Boeing and Japan tobuild a mid-size, commercial plane with costs shared equally. Investment in Washington hasincreased in the last three years, Nagai said. Presently, $350 million is poured into the state withmost of it going to high tech and fishing industries. • • • •• By Clay MartinillilBiBBiiHiiBH^^fciH B^i^BiiiiiiiiiBiiiiisii liillliiliii^HiJ^BB(iii ^BIWlittipHiiB^^ISIM(||Silll lliBiiBiifcHiiiiiBiiiiSHiBlBBIiBiiilllHBlIl! ftlliiilBlBiM^Bi^ili^Bl SiSSiilBiBliiHliliMIl |^gi|llBp|§|||J5^5i| IffilliiiMH^^BWBiiiffilliiiii^BiBifflil^BiliH^M HiiBHllllil^HBIIIHHi ^HHIBiH^BttMii^Hiliiii B^BBii^BBMiiiiiiiB^B HlB^BiilBiliiliBB^BII^HIilH^^B^liiiSlliBl iiili^^ttirtsiBiiiiiiBBi ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 Western joins nation in animal rights rally ANIMALS,from p.l claim more than 300,000 lab animals are killed every day at a yearly cost of $3 billion oftaxpayers' money. "There is a basic dishonesty in some of the ways some of the animal activistspresent their claims," Thompson said. He said Prim's monkeys do not suffer in the way the activistshave suggested. "The only pain (the primates) suffer is the kind of pain all of us suffer—bumps on thehead, stomach discomfort, etc. "I have absolutely no problem with public accountability," Prim said. "Isuspect that the health and welfare of the monkeys here at Western far exceeds that of most petowners." Currently, Prim is working on an experiment in concert with a U n i v e r s i t y of Washingtonneurosurgeon, in which primates will have electrodes surgically implanted in their brains to testcorrelation between brain activity and test performance. He said it is necessary to attach theelectrodes to the brain because,- "one can only predict where and how a given potential is generated byrecording from the brain itself. Prim said a campus-wide Animal Care Committee was formed torepresent the public in reviewing the research. They held a meeting early this week, but Piatt said, "Itwas monopolized by the researchers, and we didn't get a chance to ask any questions." Lois Garlick,who worked as a science technician at Western for 17 years and now is retired, said she was at themeeting to ask Prim about his failure to publish findings from his research. She said she was pre-empted and did not get a chance to ask. "If animals are going to be used in that way, some papersshould come from it. There's nowhere you can look up his work in t h e l i b r a r y , and t h a t 'sridiculous," she said. Piatt has similar arguments. She said People for the Ethical Treatment of Animalsinformed her from Washington D.C. that Prim has not published any of his findings since 1970. Primcontradicted this. He said the results of a joint project with neurosurgeons at the University ofWashington were published at the 1983 annual ncuros-ciences meeting in Cincinnati, and the resultsof his two-year stay at Stanford University currently are being prepared for publication. Thompson said,"Whether or not he has published has very little to do with the merits of the experiments." At the veryleast, students will learn from them, he said. "We're very careful about car research. Most of it isbecause we don't like to see animals suffer, not only because of ethical reasons, but because ofselfish reasons—unhappy animals don't make good subjects." dov next to going there, is to hearsomebody talk fi8urc °"f t h c rationale of the store.

"I don't think we should begene splicing because it's not what God intended," said Thcrese Pope, a student and former-member ofStudent Catholic Involvement. "We're fiddling around with things we shouldn't be fiddling with." Popesaid thc Catholic Church teaches that humans are designed the way God intended, in his own image.Thc policy, adopted by the U.S. Commerce Department's Patent and Trademark Office, will permit newforms of animal life, application of new traits in plants and animals and mixing between animal, plant,microbe and human genes. Pope said she believes gene splicing used in agriculture to breed betteranimals is wrong. "Agriculture of this kind promotes Darwin's Theory, 'survival of the fittest.' We'rerushing things in not accepting the natural course of life." On t h e o t h e r h a n d , a Lutheran priest atWestern said he supports the creation of new life through gene splicing and commends the scientificwork of biotechnologists. "I respect a guy who knows so much, applies his knowledge and comes outwith more awe than he had going in," said Rev. James Stender, a priest at Shalom Center, formerlyCampus Christian Ministries. S t e n d e r , f o r m e r l y a pharmacology student at Indiana UniversityMedical Center in Indianapolis, said, "We have to use what is known to help people, and that's asacred task." Stender was in contact with biogeneticists while at IUMC. There he became fullyconvinced that they regulated their work consistently and were "ethics conscious." ' "Thc U.Sgovernment went around asking colleges to do research on chemical warfare, and they offered a lot ofmoney," Stender said. "Right away, scientists protested that. . .and anytime they saw the net results of their research going to military use, they phased the research out." Almost all genetic research inWestern's biology department deals with plants, as opposed to animal research, said a departmentspokesman. Bob Harrison, an ordained minister with United Ministries in Higher Education on campus,said all religions will debate the issue of new animal life-form patents for the future. "Religion and thechurches are going to look at the relationship between science and them; selves, said Harrison of the Shalom Center. "There are a lot of new theological issues that'll take time to resolve . . . and it'severyone's responsibility." Bushue leaves Western and WSL BUSHUE, from p. 1 lobby organizationknown as Western Political Action Committee.

Although Wyble said he was informed of Bushue's resignation April 9, Echelbargcr and Wood had not heard of it until Wednesday. Echelbarger approves of thc decision.

Most of the veterans present for the name reading in Red Square Wednesdaywere Vietnam veterans, but also present were veterans of World War II and the Korean War. The wecj:-!ong "Dialogue on Peace and War" was an attempt to bring the military, Veterans of Foreign Wars andpeace advocates together to share their views about past and present eras of peace and war in thenation's history. The National Guard's 2S6th engineers parked military equipment on High Street Tuesday for their part in the week's es'erils. "We are seeing the military on a college campus for the first timesince the early '70s, and then they were being met by student protesters," said Randy Hansen of theAssociated Students' Veteran's Outreach Center. College students' reactions about war and warveterans are much different today than in the 1960s. Few students objected to the National Guard'spresence on campus. "It is great to be here and able to hold this memorial without protest interrupting,"said Ben-nie Dickenson, a Vietnam veteran who displayed the flag during the memorial. Veteransdeserve recognition, and they are finally getting it, he said. "You might not agree with the politics (ofthe Vietnam era) but it is important to honor the memory of the people who sacrificed their lives for whatthey believed in," said Barb Hoyman, a Western student. "I was called a baby killer and I was spat onwhen I returned from Vietnam in June of 1970. The ribbons I earned over there I have thrown away,"Dickenson added. "Until two years ago, I was afraid to admit being a Vietnam veteran; now I am proudto be a veteran." Many Vietnam veterans have emotional scars that never will heal. About 60,000 died in action in Vietnam. Twice as many Vietnam veterans died after the war. Many of those committedsuicide, said Emmeit Early, a psychologist who has worked extensively with veterans. The mortality rate of Vietnam veterans after the war is much higher than that of World War II and Korean War veterans, hesaid. The attitude of the nation was vastly different toward World War II veterans than Vietnam WhidbeyIsland Murine Color Guard presents the colors in front of the Performing Arts Center to open "Dialogue on Peace and War" Monday. Photos by Mike G\vynn Veterans, said Harry Monroe, a World War II veteranwho served 27 months on a destroyer in the South Pacific and fought in 11 major battles. "In my war, wcwere heroes for at least a year afterward. I couldn't buy a meal or a drink for myself, someone wouldalways buy it for me," he said. The psychological difficulties that lead to the high mortality rate occurmore frequently in veterans involved in the heaviest fighting in Vietnam during 1968 and 1969, Early said.Many veterans have a need to talk about what happened in Vietnam to release the emotions and stressthat occurs after being in combat, he said. For many of the Vietnam veterans present, the name-readingmemorial in Red Square was part of a healing process that allowed them to communicate their emotionsto Western students. "We were the same age as most college students when we went to Vietnam,"James Green, a Vietnam veteran said. "Vietnam would be the greatest loss if nothing is learned from it,"Early said. It is very important to the veterans to communicate their emotions to the students oncampus, because their age group will go into the next conflict, Green said. "I didn't know the history of Vietnam before I went into the war," said Ron Halfhill, who flew helicopter missions in Vietnam. "I wasraised with the mentality to fight the good fight and went to Vietnam to help win the war," he said. "I nowthink the war was unwinnable, because the Vietnamese were fighting for their homeland. We would havehad to kill off the Vietnamese people to win. "If I had one message to give to students, I would say not to be simply led into combat because some vague political figure says to go." Today is the last day of theforum, a day dedicated to peace issues. Speakers include a variety of community leaders, professorsand ministers who will speak during the day individually, in panel discussions and in audienceparticipation sessions on the theme of world peace, said Lynn Allen, volunteer organizer. Other eventstoday include the movie "Under the Nuclear Umbrella" at 11 a.m., a panel discussion titled "Imagining the Real" at noon, Erin Corday's music at 2 p.m., a video tilled "No Frame, No Boundaries" at 2:30 p.m. and another showing of the multi-media presentation "Vietnam Gencration-a Media Meltdown" at 5 p.m. Allevents arc in the Viking Union, except the media presentation, which will be shown in Lecture Hall 4.1968: Pvt. James Green is at the controls of an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) near Pleiku, in thecentral highlands of Vietnam. Tuesday, on W e s t e r n 's ' campus, Green once again had his handson the controls of an APC, for the first time in 19 years. He shuddered. "I remember the [ire fight inwhich I became temporarily deaf," he said. James still has problems hearing. "We were on a r o u t ine scarch-and-destroy patrol with the 176th. Ten tanks. Ten APCs. I was driving the fifth one in line. We rounded the corner of an incredibly brushy tea plantation. "Right in front of us was a barracks, and itwasn't ours. The fires inside were still hot. Charlie (Vietcong) was nearby. Our officers got excited andwanted to find him." They did. Sooner than they expected. "The lead tank got only 100 yards beforeCharlie launched a rocket-propelled grenade into it. The second tank in line exploded. M-16 fire openedup all around. Charlie was everywhere. "We called an artillery unit and had them shell as close to us aswe dared." He pointed to the bookstore War memories linger in shattered optimism Vietnam veteranJames Green reads a list of 1,500 Washington residents killed in the Vietnam conflict. The memorialreading was conducted Wednesday in Red Square. from the entrance to the Viking Union. "Shells werehitting that close," he said. "The noise caused me to become completely deaf for five days." Greenrelaxed and leaned back in the driver's scat of the APC. "I can't believe I didn't die in a seat like thisone." About 50 days later, Green contracted malaria and was sent home after spending eight months in Vietnam. "I remember when my mother came to sec mc in the hospital when I got home, Just the lookon her face. I was so frail from not eating in 14 days that I could barely crack a smile." Green attendedmany different colleges in the next few years, including Fairhaven, from which he graduated in 1975.Yet, something in his life still was missing. "The bonds joining me to society and the optimism I had forAmerica's future before I went to Vietnam were shattered. "I couldn't cope with society and moved to thewoods out on Mount Baker Highway for solitude." Optimism returned slowly for Green, and lastDecember he was on Western's campus with the idea of a presentation about the Vietnam generation. ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - Page 4 ---------- 4 WESTERN FRONT SPORTS FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 Lacrosse scoops win By The Front staff TheWestern men's lacrosse team got back on track this weekend, taking two games from eastern rivalsWhitman College and Washington State University. Last weekend's losses in the Western StateInvitational Tournament in Sonoma, Calif, quickly were forgotten as the Vikings defeated Whitman 11-6Saturday and WSU 12-8 the next day. Western shot out to a quick, three-goal lead against Whitmanwith a strong transition game and never looked back. The team strengthened its lead to 10-0 at halftimebehind the solid play of goalie Bob Burns and defenders Bob Miller, Mike Nilson and Troy "Bubba" Neal. "Burnsy (Burns) played tremendously in the first half," Western midfielder Tim Bishop said. MidfieldersJim Madigan, Tom "Rifle Guy" Bunnell and Dave Greve helped attackmen Rob Cuomo, Steve Lewis andSteve Wisman bury Whitman early with crisp passing and continuous pressure on the Whitmangoal. Cuomo, with seven goals, led Western's Steve Wisman takes aim on a fleeing Cougar. JaniceWatson all scorers in the game. Lewis and Wisman each had two goals to close out the scoring forWestern. Whitman drew closer in the second half as Western could manage only one goal while givingup six. Western usually substitutes four three-man lines during a game, but with the commanding lead,decided to experiment with eight lines to give new players a chance to compete. "We kept changinglines," Bishop said. "It's hard to keep the same flow going." "We relaxed when we thought wc had thegame in hand," midfielder Fletch Newland said. Sunday, a much-improved WSU squad gave Westerna tougher match. The two teams traded goals in the first half with Western taking a narrow 6-5 halftimeadvantage. It took Western until the fourth quarter to open up the lead for good, scoring back-to-backgoals to secure the victory. Cuomo again led all scorers with eight goals, while Wisman tallied the otherfour. Miller said WSU has improved since last year and was not a team to take lightly. WSU recentlyhired a new coach to improve the team's offensive and defensive skills. Using new techniques, theywere able to score three goals by quickly switching players, leaving Western a man short defensively."They have a new coach that's really working with them," Bishop said. "When they switched players, itwas confusing." Miller said Western will work hard on defense this week in practice, especially themidfielders.

Samish Way Young tennisclub nets loss The Western men's tennis team lost to powerful Bellevue Community College Wednesday in a tough-fought match. The Vikings won two of three doubles matches but were swept by BCC in thesingles. "I was impressed with how the guys hustled, especially George Seally in the third singlesmatch," player-coach David Luchtel said. "He played tough, hustled and took it to three games."Luchtel said the team is starting to get on its game and should - be doing well in another week or two. Teammate Mark Woodke agreed. "We just have to keep playing against good teams," he said. Theteam is made up of many freshmen, and as they get more playing time, they gain more confidence,Luchtel said. BCC always is first or second in the league and usually competes with Green RiverCommunity College for the title, he said. The men arc scheduled to play a make-up match at 2 p.m.today on their home court against Skagit Valley College. Students are encouraged to come and cheerthem on. The women's tennis team, meanwhile, is having trouble finding opponents. Two teams in the league folded, leaving only a few matches left on Western's schedule. Everett Community College andSVC withdrew their teams from competition for the rest of the season. The women's next match isscheduled for Thursday at Western against Shoreline Community College.

Parked in front of them on High Street were military vehicles, atent and National Guard soldiers in camouflage uniforms. No protestors, name calling or anti-war signswere evident. No one seemed to think the visit unusual. But it was. For the first time in the nation sincethe early 1970s, the military appeared on a college campus—our campus~as part of "Dialogue onPeace and War" sponsored by the Associated Students' Veterans Outreach Center this week. Studentsseemed comfortable with the military's presence, just as they may have been in 1954. Vietnam, the focus of the "war" side of this week, is either forgotten or misunderstood by today's students. Movies such as"Top Gun" have glorified and restored the public's faith in military power. Twenty years ago, the VietnamWar couldn't be mentioned on a college campus without sparking anger and protest. Yet Wednesday,the names of hundreds of Washingtonians killed in Vietnam echoed through Red Square in a memorialreading. They were heard like the background splashes of Fisher Fountain as students passed throughuninterested, their minds on the next day's accounting exam. Why doesn't anyone care? History hasmuch to teach this generation. If we disregard the lessons of war, how will we prevent it from happeningagain? We beseech students to take an interest in today's events and the messages from those whohave lived through one mistake. It doesn't take much for an international incident to become anational incident, or for a national incident to become a nation's tragedy. We have the opportunity to learn from our nation's past mistakes. The 60,000 who died in Vietnam don't have the luxury. Postscript...Morning news for your breakfast entertainment.

Webster, Carole Wicdmeyer, John WybleMemory lingers Nicaragua: Vietnam again? Names of dead soldiers crackled over a microphone. Morethan 1,000 were named, but few people who passed by the peaceful demonstration in Red SquareTuesday spent any time listening. The Veterans' Outreach Center was reading the names ofWashington soldiers who were killed in Vietnam, while people ignored them and had their owndiscussions about the Seattle Sonics and t he opposite sex. Seemingly, these arc more intense topics. Why should anybody care about Vietnam anymore? One veteran said maybe we should care becausemany men who died in Vietnam were no older than 19 or 20--the same age as many of the studentsjaunting through the square, ignoring the vets message. Spring survival tips William J. Freeberg staffreporter Vietnam lingers in the minds of Americans as the war they would like to forget, while Nicaragua and El Salvador are the wars they refuse to acknowledge. This refusal may slap many youths in theface when they receive draft notices because the wars in Central America no longer arc considered"covert" by our government. The similarities between Vietnam and Central America are staggering.Troops and advisers were installed in Vietnam before it was declared a legitimate war. The politicalclimate changed and the government flouted Vietnam as a war against communism. These sameundercover tactics continue in Central America. Our government funds the con-tras covertly, subvertsprogressive change and murders people. When this situation extends beyond covert action, young menwill fight another war without a purpose. The names were read in Red Square. Only a handful o[ peopleshowed their respect by standing through a significant part of the memorial service. We are beingwarned not to make the same mistake in Central America that we made in Vietnam. Twenty years fromnow, one of you may be reading the names of men who died in Nicaragua. Then maybe more people willgive a damn, or at least take 10 minutes from their life to stand and mourn those we have lost. Take lifeeasy this quarter It's not too late to take the steps necessary to make this spring quarter the best ever.I've been noticing what my fellow students have been doing to gear up for what is t he last quarter ofthe year for most of us, and I believe all can benefit from sharing their wisdom. First of all, take fewercredits. Give yourself a break! If you have to, drop a couple of classes. The weather's getting warmer,you'll probably get an incurable case of spring fever halfway into the quarter, and you're basically goingto need as much time as possible to lay around outside in the sun. Seven to 12 credits should be yourmaximum class load. Any more than that, and you may find yourself actually spending spare t i m e in th e l i b r a r y doing homework while your friends are off playing softball or waving at you betweenFrisbee tosses across Red Square. Another imperative and popular spring-quarter activity is spending every spare moment be- Wendy Staley staff reporter tween classes in Red Square around FisherFountain. Be sure to wear your shades and, if possible, find a dry spot around the rim of the fountainto sit 4 gt;n. From this perch, casually wave to recognizable classmates passing by and occasionallycall out "Hey!" or "How ya doin"?" to those you know by name. Don't do homework while you're sittingin the spray, though. You don't want anyone to think you're taking more than 12 credits, do you?Investing in a hibachi or some other barbecue apparatus also is a good step toward making your springquarter tops. Socializing en the deck or patio among smoke-drenched, burger-eating students is a mustthis time of year. Stocking up on cheap beer might not be a bad idea, either; all that barbecue saucecan make people thirsty enough to swallow almost anything. One more a c t i v i t y you definitelyshould not be without this spring quarter is visiting a tanning booth three to four times weekly. Youwouldn't want the sickly, natural coloring of your legs exposed for all to see, would you? That would beespecially awful because all the people you know have been tanning since December and look likethey just arrived after a lifetime of living on nude beaches in Jamaica. You couldn't possibly leteveryone know you've got actual tan lines or, worse yet, that your skin's as pale as the pages of youraccounting book. Justify these and other, equally delinquent spring-quarter activities byreminding yourself that spring quarter is the perfect time to relax, kick back and kiss self-disciplinegood-bye. By following these recommendations, you'll have a spring quarter you'll be able to tell yourgrandkids about with pride. ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - Page 7 ---------- FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 WESTERN FRONT 7 Letters The Front welcomes letters about all points ofview.

Court decisionunfairly favors The Front: Newsweek recently printed an article titled "A Woman's Day in Court," whichoutraged me and motivated this letter. "A landmark decision lets employers favor women andminorities," the article read, implying that this favoring was to override the objective ability of aprospective employee (as evidenced by Diane Joyce's being hired over two other male applicantswho scored higher on their interviews, on the sole basis that she was a woman). I feel a letter to thispaper will be worthwhile as an appeal to all who attend this institution and make any kind of claim ofallegiance to reason and rationality. Please understand that reward must go to the most competent and able, for if it doesn't, what reward is there in being competent and able? I know this soundsredundant, but it is frightening to consider how widely this premise is ignored. lliilBllilliililiilisiiisiiiiillillsiiiliii In such decisions as Fulilove (1980), Sheet Metal Workers (1986), Alabama State Police (1987) and the recent decision in Joyce's favor, the U.S. Supreme Court has compromised on thispremise where there can be no compromise. Sheer objective ability of an individual no longer isconsidered a priority according to the U.S. Supreme Court. Any employer who hired independently ofability and passes judgements based on irrelevant conditions is a fool, and not only takes second-best,but also gives the frightening message to the able that it is not to their benefit to be better. If I were awoman or a minority member, I would be outraged at such decisions that implied that I had not (andpossibly could not have) achieved anything for myself; any achievement I claim is only a legislatedcharity made possible by my white, male benefactors. Is this kind of legislation supposed to be for the long-term benefit of women and minority members? I hail Supreme Court Justice Antonio Scalia'sstatement of dissent against the Joyce decision that summed it up scathingly well: "...The court today completes the process of converting (civil rights law) from a guarantee that race or sex will not be thebasis for employment determination to a guarantee that it will." Think for a long while on the implications of this decision. My appeal is made. Aaron Murphy QaflBM6VNRmHNabnKM gt;TCw! «63i SALE-PRICED ON ARISTA PATRICE RUSHEN WATCH OUT!

I realize your photographers must double as students and often are in classes whennewsworthy events transpire, and I am not suggesting they compromise their academic standards in any way. I am suggesting, however, that they begin to take pictures of something besides small childrenplaying on or around campus art. I don't care how great the action or how sharp the focus—I do not likechildren and am tired of seeing them traipsing about the paper's front page in almost largc-as-life photos. If fluff photos must be used, can't they at least contain actual students, faculty, staff or visiting artistsor dignitaries? Even a sports photo would be more welcome. Kim Washburn Views not well not taped, but rather committed to memory and brief notes.) In particular, I wish to correct my reported criticism ofcommer-cial fiction. I'm afraid the opinions attributed to me reflect more Mr. Keeling's word choice andviewpoint than my own. We discussed my many positive experiences connected with writing andpublishing and also a few difficulties. The negative aspects seem to have been all that Mr. Keelingrecalled. I certainly have no intention of quitting writing, as I presently am involved with different stagesof three new novels. I also would hope that Mr. Keeling, as a fellow writer, could avoid the old trap ofpitting "literature" versus "commercial." After all, much of our classic art and literature was, and is,commercial. As a writer, I have a great respect for the power of words. I found the (hopefullyunintentional) manipulation of words in Mr. Keeling's article subtly disturbing for a reason pertainingto more than this particular piece. An ideal of journalism I feel worth maintaining is that of impartialpresentation of the news. Sara Stamey wmmmmmmmm represented The Front: I enjoyed my recentconversation with Front reporter/editor .

The Associated Students' Board of Directors voted Wednesday to include a referendum on the upcoming ballot that states: "Shallappropriate legal action be pursued regarding the State Legislative Budget to achieve per-student funding at Western equal to that at other state regional universities?" Although precedent for a state agency tosue the state does exist, the board has not decided what type of legal action it will t a k e if s t u d e n ts pass the referendum, said Dan Wood, vice president for External Affairs. The possibilities for the typeof action against the state include declaratory action, in which the court would give a specific ruling, arestraining order or a lawsuit. A restraining order would allow the suit to continue after the legislativesession ends. The board has not decided what may be the best course of action, Wood said. AboutS7.3 million would have to be added to the state legislative budget if the court decides Western should receive equal funding, he said. Tuition also could be reduced equal to the amount needed for equality.The courts could deny it. If the referendum is approved by the voters, the AS Board would requestWestern's Board of Trustees to ask Western's Assistant Attorney General Wendy Bohlke to represent them, Wood said. It would put Bohlke in the position of suing the state, which provides her salary. Ifthe Board of Trustees denies the AS Board permission to acquire Bolke's services, Wood said the ASBoard can pursue the lawsuit as Associated Students', Incorporated. AS, Inc. is a nonprofitorganization parallel, yet autonomous from the AS Board. Under state law, the AS board could not useits own money to take legal action against the state. As AS, Inc., the AS board no longer would sue asan agency of the state and therefore could use money from AS, Inc. Housing renewals approachProcedures have begun to house students currently living on campus who wish to return to residencehalls for the 1987-88 academic year. Renewal forms were sent to students April 15th and are due in t he Office of U n i v e r s i ty Residences by Monday: The renewal notices inform the housing office of astudent's intent to return to a residence hall the following year. The student also indicates his or heralternate choices in case the first choice is not feasible. "We really like students currently living in thehalls to stay, because then there is a balance of all ages and not just freshmen," said Kay Rich, interimdirector of t h e Office of U n i v e r s i ty Residences. The date Western receives a student's $50admission deposit is the main determinant of where that student will be housed. If a renewal form isreceived by the housing office after the deadline, however, priority is lost. Every year this seems tocreate the most problems, said Linda Valcnchenko, University Residences assignments coordinator.Building assignments, along with roommate request forms, will be sent to students May 7. Studentsattend a sign-up night May 21 at the hall they have been assigned, where they choose specific roomsthey wish to live in. If a student fails to sign up for a room, or if the room wanted is taken, theassignment is made by computer. The final agreement is due May 22, and once it is received by thehousing office, students arc obligated to keep it. If students wishing to cancel their agreements prior tooccupancy do so before Aug. 1, they will receive $60 of the initial S90 security deposit. Between Aug.1 and Sept. 1, S30 will be refunded. After Sept. 1, no refund will be available.

Pop Religion You can always count on an enormously hipmass of humanity to generate a new trend, lose the last vestiges of self-control over it and descendupon the next one before their credit cards get cold. In t h e t r i p p y - f l i p py psychedelic days of the'60s, baby-boomers were led by rock 'n'roll gurus to the joys of transcendental mind-expansion. Theyspent many hours cramped in lotus position chanting after that existential "om," but kept running intoreligious road blocks like tofu or drugs. Tired of spiritual side-trackings and ambiguous "uhmmms," they continued the quest for an effortless spiritual boost-a quick fix of faith. Thus, pop religion. Creating oneof these religions is even easier than practicing one, and considerably more profitable. All you need are: one slightly used celebrity spokesperson to conduct $500- a-weekend seminars, two bookcasesfull of his/her mental meanderings to sell at $3.95 a paperback, a bagful of ir-resistably cute trinkets, agentle smattering of Eastern philosophy, a television special and a catchy name. Shake well,simmer at 400 degrees, and serve lukewarm. This seemed like the perfect way to pay off our collegeloans, and maybe even earn a little extra to buy that Cuisinart we've been eyeing, so we immediatelyset about the basics: a name. All the really good ones already had been taken, but we eventuallydecided on one we thought was imaginative and distinct: Era Nouveau. We then hunted down acelebrity in need of a new career. Donny Osmond was perfect. He may not be able to emote oncelluloid like Shirley MacLaine, but he can conjure up eight elemental spirits at once who sing, "Don't Be Cruel" in full chorus. We immediately sent him to Jackson Hole, Wyo., to commune with a gurunamed. "Spike" who lives on the roof of a condominium. Spike put Donny in touch with his higher self,enabling him to "channel." To set our pop religion just a little apart from all the others, we had Donn-ofind a spirit from the future. He contacted an unemployed sanitation engineer from the year 2042,named Spud Wildflower. Spud gave our main mystic man some awesome revelations, most of whichwill be pub-l i s h e d in D o n n y ' s first autobiography, "The Spud in Me." Here are a few: --VannaWhite will be the first female president of the United States. -The need for television will be eliminatedby simply giving all potential television viewers frontal lobotomies. --Madonna and Sean Penn will have12 children, all of whom grow up to be Pulitzer-prize winning photographers. -The Chariot of the Gods isa '72 Pinto Lowrider with fuzzy purple dice hanging from the rear-view mirror and a plastic dog in theback with a head that bobs up and down. Mr. Wildflower also is a whiz at personal counseling, spittingout sage spiritual advice: "Never wash your hair with foreign beer," "Only wear the top of your pajamasbecause when you wear the bottom half your lower body disappears," and "Don't eat summer squashwhen you still have zucchini packets in your freezer." Because Donny has a weakness for Pez candyand a real undiscovered talent with organic vegetable dyes, Era Nouveau stresses Pez dispensers andtie-dyed objects as cosmic talismans. Era Nouveau shops will offer, at prices ranging from $1 to$1,000, delightfully fashionable Fruit-of-the-Loom T-shirts whipped through purple, red or blue dyes, todon when you're feeling bummed out and need a little nouveau lift: We call this being "tie-dyed tohappiness." — HIM il April 24, 1987 Cover graphic by Kelli Langan ACCENT magazine is a weekly pull-out supplement to The Western Front.

Fortunate- 1 ly, herscenes in the movie don't last long. The film manages to deal with relevant, controversial issues without becoming a dull documentary. Such subjects as animal experimentation, after-effects of nuclear war and unquestioning acceptance of authority are smoothly woven |into the plot without interrupting theflow of the fstory. "Project X" has an interesting script, likeable Icharacters and a fresh subject. OK, sothe conclusion tugs a little too strongly at the old heart Istrings. Overall, it's an enjoyable film, anddefinite-fly worth seeing. 'Academy5 lame-brained fun By Wendy Staley staff reporter "Police Academy IV" is the type of movie youj might want to see between exams during finals week. Only v/hile enduringextreme stress could you truly appreciate the movie's silly, brainless humor. The movie has a differenttheme from its Police Academy predecessors--"citizens on patrol"- but portrays more or less the same old characters performing the same old fraternity-style pranks and jokes. Some of these primitivepractical jokes are actually funny, however. I even caught myself laughing at a few of them. Duringone scene I found myself laughing at, Captain Harris (G.W. Bailey) discovering, too late that someonehas applied superglue to the mouthpiece of his megaphone, and blowtorches are required to removeit. In another stupidly humorous scene, mace is substituted for Harris' underarm deodorant. And a pigeon relieves itself more than once on Sgt. Sweetchuck. Many of the actors seem to have been chosen notbecause of any dramatic skill, but rather for verbal quirks that can be exploited. Sgt. Zed (BobcatGoldthwait) has a bizarre speech impediment-making him difficult to understand-accompanied by strange facial contortions. Sgt. Jones (Michael Winslow) uses his voice to imitate sounds such as megaphonestatic and background music. Sgt. Ducks speaks in an annoying high-pitched squeal. Most of us havelearned to beware of movies with titles ending in any number greater than "II," and in this case the ruleholds true. If you've seen any of the three previous "Police Academy" movies, you'll know what to expectfrom this one. Nothing much has changed in terms of style, scenery or script. A few interesting camerashots are one of the few things worth watching in "Police Academy IV." Near the beginning of the movie,skateboarders speed along the streets and through a parking garage and shopping mall. Some shotsof colorful hot-air balloons add to the good camera work. Obviously, this isn't a comedy for theextremely cultured. Even the least refined will find this film unstimulating. You may want to see thismovie if you're fed up with college profs probing your brain, and feeling nostalgic for high-school-levelhumor. Two students sit hunched over a board criss-crossed with lines, brows knit in concentration.After careful deliberation each places a pebble-sized black or white stone on a crosspoint, where thelines intersect. , l s it Zen chess? Alien checkers? Close. It is-Go, an ancient Chinese board game thatcombines elements of Eastern philosophy, war strategy and chess. Western sports a small butdedicated club of Go players. Started last fall by French ex-change student Laurent Notarianni, the clubis called Go Ban. Ban is the game board. Go has few rules. It is relatively easy to learn but nearlyimpossible to master, club member Heidi Steen said. The object of the game is to secure more territorythan the opponent. Territory is gained when the opponent's stones are surrounded and the "men" arecaptured. Conquering empty space, not the opponent, is the ultimate goal. Notarianni said helearned to play Go in a Bohemian bar in Paris. He was intrigued by the game's strategy andrequirement for intense concentration. "I need lots of concentration," he said. "Go is exercise foryour memory." Go also teaches patience and discipline, and gives insight into oneself and theopponent. Notarianni said he can tell how people are feeling by where they choose to place a stone." G o g i v e s you opportunities to find out how your mind works. I'm detail-oriented--! miss the broader picture," Steen said. Notarianni called Go a "psychological pressure game," and spoke of the need tosustain concentration and energy for a long time. An average game lasts about two hours. However,Japanese masters may play the same game for months. "Masters can recreate whole games frommemory. That is how they teach students," said Karin Lee, another member. Lee said she likes the mental involvement and the tactile sensations of Go. "Go is not just cerebraL.it is a sensualexperience too. The stones are extremely smooth and feel nice." Lee said although she is "not a war-oriented person," she enjoys Go's war-like stategies. "The object is to secure territory and the board isan actual battlefield," Lee said. Go began in China 5,000 years ago. Generals and kings played it tosharpen strategic battle skills. Eventually the Japanese aristocracy picked up the game and elevated itto a fine art, adding philosophy and creating the idea of winning without killing. Their aim was toconquer empty space. Notarianni said he has difficulty convincing students of the game's simplicity."People think you have to be really bright to play. You don't, it is easy to learn," he said. Most clubmembers previously played chess. They said Go is more interesting and requires more thought.Steen summed up the feelings of the players: "There is just something about Go...you really getinvolved." The Go Ban group meets every Friday at noon in Viking Union 219 and welcomes newmembers. ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - ACCENT, page 4 ---------- 4 ACCENT Top air bands to vie for lip-sync crown By Jeremy Meyer staff reporter So you want to be arock'n 'roll star Well listen, son, and you'll go far Just get an electric giiitar, and take some time to leanthow to play —Tlie Byrds The Byrds described how to become a rock'n'roll star in the '60s, but in the'80s another way to become a rocker is to imitate one. Tonight at 8:30, as many as 17 bands will dojust that in the sixth annual Western Jam at the Viking Union. Each year since 1982, students from thedorms and off campus practice to perfect the onstage antics of their favorite musicians. They lip-synclyrics, dress up like the musicians and choreograph dance routines, to entertain the audience andimpress the judges. "This year we've really upped the prize money," said Jam coordinator TonyTrofimczuk. rrn T—r -Ua_I "You have to be crazy not to dig that reggae beat." This seems to be thetheme behind Almighty Dread, a Bellingham-based reggae band expanding its musical sound andscope. Almighty Dread was started about two years ago by vocalist Andy Oliver and bassist GaryHayden. The band was elastic at f i r s t with many different musicians accompanying Oliver andHayden. After a year, the two leaders found the talent they needed. The current version of the Dreadincludes lead guitarist John Hendow, keyboardist Paul Turpin, and drummer Dalton Davis. Haydensaid the band's music is upbeat, and many rock musicians find it backwards. Oliver said the rhythms in the Dread's music are difficult to i ' i ' i _ rrr play, requiring a precision not usually required by rock."Persistence pays off," Oliver said. "Many bars wouldn't let us play because it wasn't rock'n'roll, orbecause reggae groups smoke marijuana, but now gigs come to us." Almighty Dread is adding newdimensions to its previously reggae sound. The group has added a new brass section and apercussionist to create more of a calypso sound. "We hope to do about half reggae and half calypso inthe near future," Oliver said. The band also has utilized the gifted songwriting talents of Oliver andHayden. At a concert in the Fairhaven Lounge last Saturday, the Dread introduced "Tell Me," a brilliantlyarranged reggae ballad utilizing the band's new talent. Hayden said he's never heard of a songwritingteam that writes music quite like he and Oliver do. The best example of their songwriting is a songcalled "Prisoner of Love." "I played the opening riff to the 'Dragnet' TV show and Andy "Last year it was$125 for first place, this year it's $200," he said. Nash hall has sponsored the event since its beginning,Trofimczuk said, and contestants from Nash have won five out of the six years. "Last year thecontroversy was (that) all the judges lived, or were living in Nash Hall, but this year we're trying to getaway from judges 4 affiliated with the residence halls," Trofimczuk said. Randy Hurlow, resident dire etc and a member of Nash's entry, Devo, said the controversy shouldn't be blamed on the judc Nashalways wins, he said, be; cause the dorm gets more motivated for the competitioi the other halls."(Nash) spends more tir than the other halls," Hurlo Nash starts preparing 4 event earlier, so people InA iSE1 i • T ~ T ifr1 JS1 T±T E?

Jennifer Stott, who is involved incoordinating the judging, said the controversy changed the way she chose the judges. "It does soundsuspicious, that's why I'm getting the students away from the judging." Trof imczuk said two of thejudges will be experienced judges from The Blue Max, a local bar that holds lip-sync contests similar toWestern Jam. Improved judging will produce a better show, he said. "With our efforts to get unbiasedjudges, it's going to be a lot fairer for these other bands. I think the best band will win." Entries includeDevo, Janet Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, The Steve Miller Band, Bon Jovi, Duran Duran,Spinal Tap, AC/DC and The Mup-pets. A few of the groups were formed by members of last year's Jam.Some Duran Duran members were in last year's Power Station, and some Bon Jovi members are fromthe reigning champs, Y T. Hurlow said the secret to winning is using a current song the audience isfamiliar with. Combine that with good costumes, and special effects and you could take home the $200,he said. Chris Toney, a member of Bon Jovi and veteran Jammer from '85's Autograph said, "We plan to put on a good clean show." He said the key to success is not making any mistakes and mouthing thewords correctly. "We're going to have a good time," Toney added. The criteria forjudging will be: lip-sync ability, showmanship, audience response and stage effects. Some of the rules include using no realmusical instruments, no strobe lights or quick-flashing lights, no pyrotechnic devices, no sociallyunacceptable behavior or lyrics, and no one under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Western Jamkicks off Parent's Weekend at Western and Jam promoters believe parents will enjoy the show."lt givesthe parents an opportunity to see what type of activities students can be involved in," Trofimczuk said."It's special because it's the best of each hall. It's not going to be some sloppy performance up there. It's going to be good." Maybe one of the bands should imitate The Byrds' song, "So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star," and change the lyrics to~ Soyou want to act like a rock'n'roll star Well, lip-sync son,and you'll go far Just get a cardboard guitar, and take some time to fake how to play W*-, ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - ACCENT, page 6 ---------- 6 ACCENT FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 Sellingham grag/ucs Later Grafj/ycy * Typf-Aclltng Krausi-Ciimmcrcial Center Broadway Dupnnl : i 0 3 Elm St., llellinBham, H'A 9S225 (2061676-2J22 Macintosh Rentals LaserWriter Plus™ Total Resume Service Composing / Rewriting Editing /Typesetting Weoffer a complete Macintosh rental and support service, able to accomodate single-sided or double-sideddiskette formats.

You can break up your band, vowing you "shan't worktogether again," and either study philosophy or do a lot of drugs, maybe nod for a few years. The thingis, when you run out of money, you can always come "out of retirement." Reunion gigs are very much invogue right now; Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and possibly the original members of KISS arejust a few of the many cashing in on nostalgia lately. r—Am usei*1 JoTOVttH Sunday FAMILY DAYAll day 'Parents accompanied by children Monday HAPPY HOUR 5pm to 7pm *AII customers TuesdayAFTER SCHOOL 3:30pm to 5pm *AII customers Wednesday LADIES DAY All day * Ladies, any aseThursday HAPPY HOUR 5pm to 7pm *AII customers Friday COUPLES NIGHT After 6pm *Womenaccompanied by men Saturday EARLY BIRD Before noon "All customers 111 N.

Card and receive two free games So what better for the woman who has (and hasdone) everything but a nice reunion album? And what's this--a concept album to boot?! "Maggots: TheRecord," the ninth anniversary album from wonderful Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics is possiblythe most bizarre piece of vinyl of all time.' The very concept of a Plasmatics reunion seems strange.Brilliantly managed throughout their career by mastermind Rod Swenson, the Plasmatics became asymbol of contradiction to what was happening in music in the late 70s. The glam and shock rock thinghad long since peaked-Alice was studying philosophy, the Dolls were dead and KISS had gotten too bigfor its own good, doing Colorforms and "Kids Are People, Too" by the time the Plasmatics splashed ontothe scene. Wendy, with her whipped cream, black electrical-taped teats and mohawk, was dangerously unsettling when the Plasmatics were making their loudest noises, and they got a lot of attention for it.But they were never very popular.. There is a built-in popularity ceiling on a band whose male guitarplayer wears a tutu and whose female singer destroys televisions with a sledgehammer. Wendy alwayswas militantly obsessed with world domination through music, but the band never really gathered morethan a cult following, however dedicated. Thus, a reunion album seems odd. Actually, odd is a verydiluted term. "Maggots: The Record" is completely bent. It is only slightly more than half music; the other half is' composed of an audio theater work interspersed throughout the album. The setting is 2013, and a scientific accident has resulted in the formation of mutant maggots that eventually take over the worldby devouring all mankind. The drama profiles several characters whose lives are cut short by untimelyvisits from the maggots. A standout performance is turned in by Suzanne Bedford as Valerie, who isgobbled up by a bedfull of maggots the size of large knack-wursts. Valerie's only dialogue is a telephoneconversation with her boyfriend, television newscaster Bruce Maltin (Tony Marzocco), but she certainly deserves an academy award (or would it be a grammy?) for her dying scene. Bedford actually sounds as if she is being eaten alive by french bread-sized maggots--a truly inspiring performance. Scott Harlanalso is quite good as Joe White. Joe is the head of the White family, which is sequentially devoured by maggots three to four feet long and nearly seven inches in diameter. And James Gerth is excellent asthe Serlingesque narrator, calmly announcing the lives and deaths of the "Maggots" cast. Even with all the excitement generated by the feasting maggots, the music on this album is impossible to ignore.The band is actually a cross between original Plasmatics and Wendy's solo band, W.O.W. The newgroup consists of: Wes Beech (Plasmatics) on rhythm guitar, Chris' "Junior" Romanelli (Plasmatics) onbass, Ray Callahan (W.O.W.) on drums and Michael Ray (W.O.W.) on lead guitar. Swenson also has returned to manage and produce the band, along with Beech, and also did most of the writing of the newmaterial, with Ray. The production on the record sounds like that of Wendy's latest solo effort, last year's "Kommander of Kaos." The sound is muddy and bassy, with the drums pushing woofers to distortionand burying the vocals. All in all, the production is very bad and quite annoying, but seems to fit withthe feeling of doom of the record. Production aside, "Maggots" is a heavy metal rock album in the finesttradition of the Plasmatics. Throughout the band's career it was tagged punk rock because of vocals andhaircuts, but was always a metal band, with a twist all its own. "Maggots" is no different. The musichas a certain sinister tone, reminiscent of 1980's "Coup d'etat." However, the breaks and the timechanges on "Maggots" are absolutely beyond; defying all rules of musical sense, keeping listenersconstantly on their toes and on edge. Songs like "You're a Zombie" and "The Day of the Humans isGone" represent a most bizarre sense of musical structure-very non-conventional arrangement that mostcertainly comes from hours of trying very hard to produce something fundamentally different. A furiousdouble-bass gallop with Wendy screaming over it will suddenly drop out to nothing but a sleazy guitargrind and Wendy kind of muttering underneath: "(Now) you're a zombie, honey, we done consumed yourbrain/ Can you tell the difference, or do you feel the same?/ Now you're a fascist robot, just like you werebefore/ We can press your buttons and have a robot war." And back into the gallop. The dominantmusical voices on the album are Wendy and Ray, who take turns battling the sea of mud that is therhythm element of the album. Wendy O. Williams simply has the toughest voice in rock 'n' roll, gender be damned. Wendy's vocals sound as though they are being run through a paper shredder-coarse, rough,ultimately harsh. To maintain that level of vocal intensity for as long as she has is incredible, a tribute toher stamina as a performer. I mean, this woman is more than 40 years old, and she sounds (not tomention looks) like she's 20. The searing lead guitar of Michael Ray also is a brilliant attribute of"Maggots," and his exposure through the project will surely bring Ray the acclaim he deserves as agreat guitarist. The album's six songs center around the general theme of the universal decadence andthe subsequent demise of the human race. The outlook is extremely negative—the listener isblanketed by an overwhelming sense of doom that is conveyed very effectively through the music andlyrics. In all, "Maggots: The Record" is 40 minutes of audio revolution. The Plasmatics have succeededin carrying on in their own tradition of defiance of the norm. Despite the project's innate and obviousrepelling nature, it is destined to be commercially recognized, if not prominent, because it is simply toogood to be ignored. I can't wait for the video. ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - ACCENT, page 7 ---------- FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 ACCENT 7 Bassist jazzes up Mama Sundays tonight By Tore Slette' staffreporter The time is 1977 and the place is the Monterey Jazzfest. A young bassist stands before a crowd of 7,000 and opens the festival with a riveting, intense. solo. The young man was David Friesen andsince the mid 70s he has played at many large festivals around the world. This evening Bellingham jazzconnoisseurs can experience one of his excellent performances when Mama Sundays brings The DavidFriesen Ensemble to Western. Friesen is joined on stage by percussionist Alan Jones and saxaphonistPhil Dwyer. "Phil Dwyer is an excellent musician, he's just incredible," Friesen said, from his home inPortland, Ore. "He's from Canada and right now.he has coast-to-coast recognition up there. I can't say enough good things about him. It's a pleasure to be on stage with him." DAVID FRIESEN At tonight'sshow Friesen will play music from previous albums plus some new material. The new stuff will appear ona forthcoming album called "Inner Voices," which will be released on May 4th. "Inner Voices" is recordedon Global Pacific Records and distributed by CBS Records. Herb Wong, critic for Jazz Times Magazineand former Western faculty member, said Friesen's music "is founded on integrity and the pursuit ofexcellence." Although Friesen has charmed audiences in all parts of the world, including the USSR, he'snever played the famous Montreux International Jazz Festival, held every summer in Switzerland. ButFriesen said that's about to change. "This summer Paul Horn and I are going to Montreux to play. Paulplays flute on the 'Inner Voices' album with me." The David Friesen Ensemble performs at 8 p.m. in theViking Union Coffee Shop. Admission is free.Childcare is provided and refreshments will be served.Burton delivers good vibes By Carole Wiedmeyer — — • — — — _ _ - — — — - staff reporterJazz musician Gary Burton will wrap up his teaching schedule at Berklee College of Music in Bostonbefore starting a northwest tour at Western Tuesday. The Gary Burton Group, presented by theNorthwest Concert Association, will play its blend of jazz and rock at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the PerformingArts Center. Featuring Burton on vibraphone, the group also includes Makoto Ozone at the piano, Tommy Smith on saxophone, Martin Richards on drums andGildas Bode on electric bass guitar. Steve Swallow,Burton's bass player since the '60s, will not be part of the tour. Burton's agent said she was unsure ofSwallow's status with the group. The vibraphone, also known as the vibraharp or vibes, belongs to thesame family of instruments as the xylophone. Burton has been named Best Vibest by Downbeatmagazine every year since 1968. Chuck Israels, Western's director of jazz studies, worked with Burtonin the '60s, cutting a record with him on RCA in 1963. Israels said the group's technical ability is"amazing," and gave special credit to "brilliant" pianist Ozone. Ozone is a former Berklee student, andhas recorded solo as well as with the Burton group. Burton also has recorded with prominent jazzmusicians Chick Corea, Stephane Grapelli, Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny and Larry Coryell. Tuesday'sconcert is the final performance in a series of three sponsored since fall by the Northwest ConcertAssociation. The local non-profit group works to bring a broad range of performances at affordableprices to Whatcom County, said Ellen Vaughn, publicity coordinator. Previous events were sold-out, shesaid. Tickets are $10 general, $6 for seniors and students, and are available at Box Office Northwest inthe Bellingham Mall. Parking will be reserved near the PAC, Vaughn said. For more information, call 734-7200. Burton also will appear at the Backstage in Seattle Wednesday. Back: Makoto Ozone, MartinRichards Front: Tommy Smith, Gary Burton, Gildas Bode By Jeff Kuehn staff reporter The photographiccomposites in "Structured Vision; Collage and Sequential Photography," a new exhibit at theWhatcom Museum of History and Art, are entertaining and skillfull examples of photography as an artform. Photography captures reality, but in this exhibit it is used to manipulate viewers toward thephotographer's perspective. No photographs stand alone in this exhibit. All are arranged into collagesand sequences, which fall into three basic categories: linear series, arrays, and grids. Dozens of artistsare represented in this show. Most have received world-wide recognition for their work in photography.Composite photographic manipulation dates back almost as far as photography itself. In 1843Antoine Claudet attempted to capture London using close-up photographs arranged in proper relation to each other. In 1877 Eadweard Muybridges attempted to gain the same effect with his well-knownseries "San Francisco from California Street." Photographic collages developed from Cubist Movement,and attempt to create the illusion of movement in a still medium. However, this exhibit entails more than an attempt to capture motion in still photographs. Daniel Baboir's hand-colored montages present viewsof cultural conflict. Black-and-white narratives by John Schlesinger are enigmatic and disquieting.Duane Michals and Gregory A. Mac- Gregor offer whimsical narratives such as "The Bogeyman" and"Backyard Safety Demonstration." David McGlynn's "Boat, Cape Cod " and "Brooklyn Bridge" presentgridded panoramas. Some of the most interesting and enjoyable pieces in this exhibit are KarenRiedener's three-dimensional time sequences such as "People Crossing Park Ave.," which presentsthe viewer with a three-dimensional, frontal view of foot traffic in New York. This is one of the mostexciting and entertaining shows to come to Bellingham for quite some time and it would be a shamefor anyone interested in photography, or art, to miss it. "Structured Visions" will be at the WhatcomMuseum of History and Art, 121 Prospect St. in downtown Bellingham, until May 10.
