Evarts staff reporter The first candidate for vice president ofAcademic Affairs wants to stay active in teaching in addition to his provost duties. Victor Wong, currentprovost at the University of Michigan in Flint, spoke to an open forum of about 90 students, faculty andadministrators Thursday as part of his interview for the position of Western's vice president forAcademic Affairs. Wong is the first of three candidates for the position to visit Western. JamesKelley, dean of the School of Science at San Francisco State University, will visit the campus Mondayand Tuesday. Les A. Kar-lovitz, dean of the College of Science and Liberal Studies at the GeorgiaInstitute of Technology, Atlanta, will be here March 13 and 14. Kelley and Karlovitz will also speak atopen forums during their visits. Wong has been provost at the University of Michigan in Flint for the lastthree years and has been a physics professor there for 21 years. He also completed a post-graduatefellowship at Ohio State University. At Thursday's forum, Wong said he intends to remain active inphysics. At the University of Michigan, Wong still teaches courses as well performing hisadministrative duties. Wong said his greatest asset to Western would be his ability to listen tostudents, faculty and the community. Another aspect he hopes to employ here is his ability to applycreative solutions to the university's crises. Some issues Wong spoke about were hazardous-wastemanagement, the role of liberal arts colleges in a scientific age and computers on campus.

King assistant news editor About 80 students packed Monday'sServices and Activities Fee Committee meeting to show support for student activities, including clubsports, drama, student publications and athletics, before the committee prepares its 1989 budget. S Afees comprise $75.50 of each student's quarterly tuition set aside by the Legislature to be used forstudents in areas not normally funded through the academic programs. Saundra Taylor, S Acommittee chair, said the large student turnout could only help the committee with the budget. "Part ofthe process of the meeting is to negotiate and see what students need and want," she said. The S Abudget is divided three ways: * Department-related activities (DRAC) — 27 percent ($20.39 of a full-timestudent's tuition). * Housing and Dining—41 percent ($30.96). * Associated Students—32 percent($24.16). The budget is a hot issue this year because pending legislative action by the House HigherEducation Committee (IIEC) would allow the university to increase the S A fee portion of tuition $5.85per quailcr, adding an additional $ 149,200 to the $ 1.9 million budget in the next academic year. SeeS A on page 12 Health clinic needs boost, director says By Paul Mahlum staff reporter HealthServices Director Nathan Church told the Associated Students Board Tuesday that students' healthneeds are not being met because of the program's limited budget. "Western's services have eroded somuch that students don't receive adequate care," Church said. Students might be paying an extra $ 15 a quarter in health fees next year if a new health services proposal is passed. The Health Services Center, the lowest-funded program of its type in the state, is asking the administration to raise student healthfees from $9 to $25 a quarter. The fee is paid with tuition. "I want students to start out the year knowingwhat their health costs will be for the rest of the year," Church said. Church said the center, which has7,000 students coming through it annually, is the most used facility on campus. On an annual basis,students pay $36 in health fees. According to a health fees study conducted by Church, the averageannual health fee at universities around the country comparable in size to Western is $106.50. State funds paid for the program before 1983-84. Since then, the center has operated on student fees. Thefirst fee was $6 a quarter. In 1986-87 the fee was increased to $9 a quarter. Vice President of StudentAffairs Saundra Taylor said when that initial fee was instituted, it was not meant to cover all thecenter's costs. Taylor said 80 percent of university health service centers across the country arefunded through mandatory or service-activity fees. The center is now run entirely on student fees. Theonly state funding the center receives is for maintenance and capital improvements. Under the currentprogram, student fees cover basic treatment for illness. The fee doesn't cover the cost of prescriptiondrugs or laboratory tests. See Health on page 2 Higginson to become co-ed hall next fall By DebbiePrzybylski staff reporter Gone are the days of the horse-drawn carriage, the steam train and now, itseems, the women-only dorm. Because of the lack of requests to live in an all-woman dorm, HigginsonHall will become co-ed next fall, and the Housing and Dining committee has recommended the abolitionof all women-only dorms on the campus. University Residences Director Kay Rich said the requests tolive in an all-woman living quarter has declined over the past years. "There has not been a high demandfor an all-women's hall," Rich said. "Out of the 2,500 housing applicants for next fall, only 10 womenrequested Higginson." Last year, only 68 students requested to live in Higginson, which houses 213students, she said. Students who are remaining in Higginson next fall are excited about the change.Higgin-son's resident director, Leah Shaffer, said she believes people will have no problem withHigginson becoming co-ed. "I think it is a positive move," Shaffer said. "I will live here (Higginson) if it isco-ed... with guys it will be more exciting. We can have dances," said Higginson resident NicoleHausske. If there were several requests from applicants to live in an all-woman dorm, the committee would have converted either Alpha or a stack in Fairhaven into an all-woman living quarter, but it did notsee a sufficient enough need for one, Rich said. The committee's recommendation will be reviewed at the next University Services Council meeting on March 10. The USC will decide whether ornot to supportthe recommendation. As soon as the USC makes a decision, University Residences will contact the 10applicants who requested to live at Higginson and review other options with them. Rich said that womenwho wanted the privacy of an all-woman hall can choose to live in a suite. "A suite in Beta could supplyan all-woman atmosphere," she said. Women who are attracted to an all-woman hall for the women-focused programs can choose to live on a women's floor. "The programming will be available," Rich said. ---------- Western Front - 1989 March 3 - Page 2 ---------- 2 March 3,1989 The Western Front Health Continued from page 1 Many students go to local orhometown physicians for their medical needs. "We had 700 referrals last year to other organizations in Belling-ham," Church said. Church said Western's student health fees are the lowest he knows ofanywhere in the country. "With the skeletal staff we have, we only have the ability to check the health ofstudents between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.," he said. Currently, there is a physician, a clinical and practitionernurse and a medical assistant on call during center hours. The center entered into a $40,000 contract with St. Luke's hospital in Bellingham in 1974, providing health services with five or six physiciansrotating on a weekly basis. Western still has the contract. Associate Director of Health Services JoAnne Sandberg said "We are able to keep up with student needs with the limited services we offer."Church said "students will pay less in the long run with the student fee increase." If the proposed feechanges are approved, the center would be open during lunch hours, and nurses would be on call 24hours a day. "Students would be able to call in at any time during the day and would be able to come inon evenings or weekends if necessary," Church said. "We would have a full range of educationprograms. We should also get a paid intern to give them experience." In 1986, the center had a$50,000 deficit. Church said that in paying off this deficit "the center has had to give up a lot of services." Taylor, who came to Western in 1968, said at that time Western "had a full-time physician in EdensHall. There was an infirmary. We did have the same number of nurses." According to the health feestudy, Western needs a $26.63 quarterly fee in order to keep up with the health fee standards of otherpublic higher education institutions comparable in Student code evaluated Questions need to beresolved regarding what constitutes actionable behavior among students on campus, said ConnieCopeland, director of University Student Life at Western. The update, and clar- Copeland ify variousrules of Western's Student Rights and Responsibilities Code. One of the issues the proposedcommittee would consider is the development of an official bill of student rights, designed particularly toallow students to pursue an education free from intimidation from faculty or other students, she said.Other concerns would apply to an academic grievance policy for students dealing with intimidation,unfair grading and the establishment of clearer guidelines involving sexual harassment on campus.One of the issues the proposed committee would consider is the development of an official bill of student rights, designed particularly to allow students to pursue an education free from intimidation fromfaculty or other students, she said.

ASasks students if campus is safe By Sara Britton staff reporter The Associated Students wants to knowhow safe students think Western is with the new campus security system, said Mike Petrie, vicepresident for residence life. In early February, the AS sent out surveys to find out if students knowwhat to do in an emergency under the current security system, and if their security needs were beingmet. The surveys also questioned students on how the system can be made less confusing. Followingstudent opinion, the AS may recommend increasing the visibility of security officers on campus andthe security information available to students. One survey, sent to 15 percent of returning residencehall students, measured student understanding of security policies and asked students about theirexperiences with campus security. The other survey, sent to residence advisers and directors, surveyedthe average call response time by Bellingham police officers, how often complaints were referred toBellingham police and advisers' opinions on the security system. "So far, students (who have responded)seem concerned about the lack of law enforcement presence on campus; it seems like no one's outthere," Petrie said. Bellingham officers regularly patrol campus by car but do not usually walk around oncampus. Although they respond quickly to serious calls, resident advisers say Bellingham police takelonger to respond to minor incidents than campus security because they often have higher priorityincidents to deal with, Petrie said. Some students may also be confused about which agency to callin an emergency, he said. The AS will present this information to residence hall boards and campussecurity by the end of this quarter, he said. Police stop Nash fight A shoving match turned into a brawllast Friday night as resident advisers and Western security officers watched the scene from adistance. Western Security officers are not allowed to knowingly put themselves in a threateningsituation; they may protect themselves if attacked but may not protect others being attacked.RELATIONSHIPS John Browne, Western security officer said the present policy guiding their actionsis a double-edged sword. If they do intervene, they will be disciplined, and if they do not intervene, theyare labeled as jerks, Browne said. The Bellingham police showed up approximately 15 minutes after the call was received, officials said. WOMAN STUDIES Passages 310 W. Champion Street Downtown734-8661 „ PHILOSOPHY USED HOOKS K-2. SIMS.

Dr. Ron Kendall, director of theinstitute, is currently fielding an offer from Clemson, said Huxley Dean John Miles. Western has counter-offered, and no decision has been made at this time, he said. Clemson's aquaculture, fishery andwildlife department is recruiting Kendall, said administrative assis- Kendall tant Rosemary Rienhart of the aquaculture department. Aquaculture department Chairman Dr. Robinette was unavailable forcomment. Rienhart said Tuesday that the move is still unofficial, but it looks "pretty promising" for theinstitute to join Clemson this year. Kendall said he would not elaborate on the rumors until his bagsare packed to go. "Right now, we're just here working," he said. The Institute of Wildlife Toxicologywas created by Kendall in 1984 with the support of Huxley. Its Snowboards Ski RacksSkateboards«Snowboards Sailboats»Sailboards»Accessories Active Wear*Rowing Shells If (Washington Wind Sports SOI Hum BillinSlnm,WA90n5 (206) 678-1146 aim is to provide researchopportunities into the effects of toxic environmental contaminants on wildlife. During the past fiveyears, the number of faculty and students involved with the program has grown from 19 to 75. Its 1989budget, largely provided by grants, is $2 million. A problem with the increasing size of IWT, Miles said,is that Huxley can not offer more facilities. "We are not a 'research university,' and we can notcompete with one that can provide the necessary space and resources," he said. Many of Huxley'sfaculty have recruited grants, Miles said. As with Kendall, some professors' grants are tied to specificprojects, while others fund on-going cooperative work agreements. If Kendall leaves, funding for any ofthe later will stay with Huxley, Miles said. "As an example, wc have a cooperative agreement with theDepartment of Fish and Wildlife. Our students are eligible to work with them during the.summer,"Miles said. "If Kendall goes, he wouldn't take that with him." Provost Sam Kelly said several ofWestern's faculty are under recruitment. It's like recruiting a football team, when their specialty orprominence in a field attracts attention, they get offers, he said. For Huxley, the institute'srecruitment is representative of a larger problem, Miles said. Western must decide its academicmission. "What really is Western going to be?" he said. "How far can we go with our research? We can't go the same length as a research university because we're a regional academic university." Theinstitute will remain at Huxley regardless of Kendall's decision. If Kendall stays, he will be primarily anadministrator. If he leaves, someone will come in behind to continue the program, Miles said. Studentswill not be affected. Jesse Tinsley/The Western Front Freshman Monte Faber surfs down Oak Streetnear Nash on a cafeteria tray Wednesday night. 6-inch snowfall doesn't faze university Bellinghamreceived between three and six inches of snow Wednesday, as a late winter storm surprised thePuget Sound area. The snow did not seriously affect activities on Western's campus, to campussecurity said. Campus Security officer, John Browne said the snow caused fewer problems than thestorm a month ago. "We've been lucky; there have not been too many traffic accidents (aroundcampus)," Browne said. Accidents are usually the primary problem with snow, he said. A car doorwindow was shattered in the 26 P-lot, but nothing was stolen, Browne said. Browne also said noreports of injury on campus had been received. Some areas in Whatcom County received up to 15inches of snow. According to The Bellingham Herald, the Mosquito Lake Road area received suchaccumulations. Numerous minor accidents occurred around Bellingham, and 1-5 was closed for about ahalf-hour Wednesday night after a truck jack-knifed, stopping northbound traffic near Sunset Drive.Bellingham International Airport did not close because of the storm, even though flights routed throughSeattle were delayed because Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was closed Wednesday night andThursday morning. Freshmen to face tougher standards By Ellis Baker staff reporter For the first time,Western is screening its freshman applications based on qualifications rather than date of application,Richard Riehl, director of admissions, said this week. The main qualification for entering freshmen is a3.15 or higher grade point average, Riehl said. Other factors are college entrance exam scores, highschool curriculum, and special talent. Ethnic minorities are always given special consideration, he said. A selective admissions policy is necessary, because of an unprecedented demand by 4,925applicants for 1,400 freshman openings next fall, Riehl said. Immediate implementation of the newpolicy strained the admissions staff; it wasn't a quick and easy adjustment, President KennethMortimer said. "So I want to publicly acknowledge the admissions' office support in moving to anew system with out notice," he said.

That is what 65 Western students have planned. Thesestudents will be volunteering their vacation time to work for the homeless and those in need. Thisundertaking is being organized through the campus ministry of the First Presbyterian Church, 1031 North Garden St. Out of the 65 students, 15 will be working in Tijuana, Mexico, on a house for the poorest ofthe working poor. They will be working with Habitat for Humanity International for about four days forseven hours a day. The 15 will camp in tents and cook by campfire in San Diego then commute daily toTijuana and spend $25 each day for materials. "Our goal as agroup is to show our concern for thehomeless and to be servants for God as we help build the house," said Michelle Bout-erse, a participantand Western student. Another 50 students will be staying at the Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Churchwhere Rev. E. V. Hill is the pastor. Rev. Hill is a prominent preacher politically and religiously. From thechurch, acting as home base the students will split up and go into the community. Some groups willbe serving meals at the Lord's Kitchen (which serves up to 4,000 people a week), taking a religioussurvey and working at food and clothing stores similar to Belling-ham's Lighthouse Mission store. Theywill also help out at a "skid row" soup line, working with Hispanic kids at a vacation Bible school and help fix up three houses in need of repair, the whole time sharing knowledge about Christ. These projectswill be tackled by each group by of daily rotation. It will not be all work — they will visit the University ofCalifornia at Los Angeles and the beach and attend evening lectures. Mike Woodruff, the church'sdirector of university ministries, says the mission to the Watts district of Los Angeles is " a vision trip toexpose ourselves to what the church should be doing," expressing the claims of Jesus Christ and"aggressively meeting the needs of the community." Each student going to Los Angeles must contribute $150 for transportation and other expenses, the cost of the Tijuana trip is $350. To help with the tripssome students are writing letters to friends, family and churches for support through prayer and financing. Students are also hosting a talent show and spaghetti dinner tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the FirstPresbyterian Church for $5 for two.

Dorms to sponsor 'dilly' of a formal dance By CrystalBrockway staff reporter The Ninth Annual Pic-a-dilly dance promises to be "A Night to Remember" in1989. The semi-formal dance sponsored by Mathes and Nash residence halls will be Saturday from 9p.m. to 1 a.m. in the Viking Union main lounge. Pic-a-dilly began in 1976 as a semi-formal fund raiserand mixer between Mathes and Nash. At that time, Mathes was an all-female hall, and Nash was allmale. Over the years, a few things have changed — both halls are now co-ed; all Western students arenow invited, and it has evolved into a dinner dance rather than the mixer of old. Two traditions haveremained, however: the dress — semi-formal — and the name — Pic-a-dilly. "Since Pic-a-dilly is theonly dressy dance, it seems nicer and classier, so more people want to come," said the co-chair fromMathes, Julie Dunnweber. The name Pic-a-dilly has been used since the beginning. Roommates aresupposed to "pic-a" surprise date, or "dilly," for each other. "The percentage of people who actually gowith a 'dilly' are few. You don't see too many mismatched couples. Most people just tell their roommatewho to ask," junior Justin Henson said. Everyone interviewed seemed to have a different view of exactlywho goes to Pic-a-dilly. "I think freshmen through juniors go. It's a blast. Why not make the most of theone formal dance here?" sophomore Christine Funk said. "Mostly freshmen go. I don'tknow anyone whowent last year. I don't know why. Maybe upperclassmen think it's something they did in high school,"sophomore Christine Bond said. "It's a way to relive high-school memories in a more matureenvironment... something all the classes can enjoy," senior Mike S truss said. "It's pretty much freshmen and sophomores who come because they live in residence halls and know what's happening oncampus," Dunnweber said. A freshman and co-chair from Nash, DeeAn Nakagawa said, "I've heard justabout everything there is to hear about who does and doesn't go to Pic-a-dilly. I think it's for everyone — an opportunity to dress-up, look good and have fun." Since the dance has evolved into more of adinner dance, another question was raised by freshman Kristi Erikson. "Where do we go to eat? That'swhat I want to know. Steak night at SAGA?" Dunnweber said Pic-a-dilly is considered a dinner danceonly because most people.go to a nice dinner before the dance, not because it's included with the dance. Nakagawa expects the overall cost of the dance to be approximately $ 1,000 and hopes to make abigger profit than last year's $1,724, which is split evenly between Mathes and Nash. "Everything isgoing to be great, down to the very last detail," she said. Snow delays tennis-a-thon The three to sixinches of snow Bellingham received Wednesday, delayed the tennis team' s spring-like plan to play thesport for 24-hours in Red Square in order to raise money. "We had some 40-mile-an-hour winds and thesnow on the ground. We couldn't sustain any rallies," said team representative Jim Blacksten. The event has been rescheduled for this Wednesday. The team will set up nets and play in Red Square from 6a.m., Wednesday to 6 a.m., Thursday. The play-a-thon will help raise money for the team's trip todistricts and their general traveling expenses. "We are a varsity-status sport, but we are only clubfunded. Next year we will be fully funded," he said. "We receive only 1/12 of what we will get next year." $'4, Wank* SaCoa Sank* The professional salon with a spectacular view •Trend Styling Complete Hair Service •Tanning •Theraputic Massage 734-4843 9-5 Mon-Fri, 9-2 Sat Evenings by Appointment Give us a try, you'll be glad you did!

"Hey, what're you doing this weekend? Haveyou heard of any parties?" "Yeah, I think there's one in Voltaire, Phoenix Court and 1310 High." It's aritual, something that signifies the upcoming weekend: the party schedule. By Thursday and Friday,Western partiers have the weekend mapped out. The news of where the weekend's hot spots are hasspread faster than a beer drinker's belly. Western students have several different kinds of parties tochoose from: the dorm party, the High Street party, the apartment party, the granola party and the rugbyparty. The Dorm Party: These are traditionally offered in the Ridgeway dorms of Beta, Kappa or Gamma.A keg is usually situated in the bathroom, different music blares in each room and a hoard of on-campusresidents fight for a chance to hold their $2 Schlitz cup underneath the keg's tap. The High StreetParty: These are not exclusively confined to High Street, but it's where they originated. Other places tofind High Street-style parties include Garden Street, Eastlvy and Indian Street. The common traits ofthese festivities include — surprise — hoards of people, a keg in the kitchen, surly tenants worriedthey're getting ripped off by non-paying patrons (and they're probably right), lines in front of the bathroom,a crush of people surrounding the keg tap and impatient men peeing in neighbors' bushes. The Apartment Party: The difference that sets these parties apart from others is the lack of bushes to pec into; instead,an open window or a balcony usually suffices. . The Granola Party: Expect the aroma of that mysterious burning herb, and the frequency of the comment, "Whoa." The music usually dates back to 1969. Theonly drawback to these parties are when people gather around the keg to fill their cups because granolaslove beer too. Be prepared for comments like, "Hey, get off my Birkenstocks," and "Whoa, dude, mellowout. If your karma is right, you'll get a beer in no time." The Rugby Party: The Western Warthogs'traditional drink-ups are infamous at Western and probably throughout the Northwest. These arefestivities which offer the party-goer a chance to exhibit high levels of inebriation, listen to crude rugbysongs and occasionally see people who are so drunk, they will freely eat dog food and urinate in catlitter boxes. After any party has been located, a stampede begins. Most people don't show up until 8 or 9 p.m., for fear of showing up to an unpopular party. However, no matter what time it is, freshmen areless discerning about who's hosting the festivities, as long as there's ample beer and scammingpossibilities. Senior beer-seekers are a little more picky after four years of parties, puking and passingout. If the word has been passed and a party is successful, the keg full of beer will not last the night.But inevitably many of the hoards of party-goers will wake up with hangovers anyway. Illustration by Tony Tenorlo • • • • • • • • • • • 11 iBll^^^l^HIIlil^BIIIBBI Cops often are party'guests' Last Saturday, Marie Poland's house at 1310 High St. was the location of one of the night'shottest parties. The house had all the tell-tale signs of a party: a sign stating "Go to the back door,"groups of people walking toward the backyard, plastic cups on the ground, men urinating behind bushesand a line of people waiting outside to be admitted into the crowded house for a chance to fight for a beer. Poland said she decided to throw a party because she likes entertaining people, rather than beingentertained. While the second keg was going dry, Poland said she didn't expect the police to show up. "We've talked to our neighbors," she said. "They're older and don't mind, and next door is an apartmentcomplex, so we shouldn't have any problem with the police." But in Poland's case, her forethought waswrong. The police arrived after a neighbor called to complain about the noise. The police issued a $325fine to one of Poland's roommates. Bellingham police Lt. Don Miles said the police will issue a fine if theparty is serving alcohol to minors or is out of control. "If it's a totally big party with people all over theplace," he said, "they're supposed to issue a citation to the renters who are hosting the party." He saidpolice usually show up to parties after a complaint has been called in. He said during the spring thepolice receive more complaints because there are more open windows at the parties. Miles said peoplewho host parties often don' t think of the outcomes of throwing a party. If someone becomes drunk at a party and ends up getting injured or killed in an alcohol-related accident, the person who hosted theparty can be civilly liable, or if their parents are supporting them, their parents can be liable. "Whenpeople start looking to sue, they look for pockets," he said. "I don't think anybody throwing a party thinks about the ramifications. They could easily come back to that person. They're civilly liable." Poland saidwhen she throws a party, she thinks about the responsibilities of the host and said she worries thepeople leaving her party may not be sober enough to drive. "I feel partly responsible, but on the otherhand, they would've druok anyway," she said. Miles said it is up to the host of the party to make surepeople don't drink and drive. If they must drive, it is the host's responsibility to find a sober driver for thatperson. The legalities of on-campus parties have relaxed considerably since the university's police forcewas decommissioned, said campus security officer John Browne. "There is certainly much lesspreventable patrol," he said. "We have no more authority than the resident adviser. The amount of opencontainers has increased. We can do the same thing an R.A. can do — ask them to dump it out." Hesaid if the party receives a complaint, the resident adviser will try to quiet the party with a warning. If acomplaint is received by campus security, another warning will result. The only time a citation is issuedis when the Bellingham Police are called. "It can draw the process out," Browne said. "The communitybecomes the victim. (The party thrower) may wait until the fourth warning and then shut it down. Itbecomes a farce." Browne said students are just discovering how much they can get away with oncampus. "The older students are still operating under the old rules," he said. But as the newer studentslearn how to get away with things, Browne said he expects the alcohol problem to increase on campus."What bothers me is the university has surrendered its effective role to deal with the alcohol problem," hesaid. ---------- Western Front - 1989 March 3 - Page 6 ---------- 6 March 3,1989 The Western Front Ensign promotes Bellingham bands Music videos exhibit wealth oflocal talent ByKurtMcNett staff reporter Tom Ensign is a man in Bellingham who plans to make amusical difference. Ensign, creator of Ensign Video Productions, has not only finished a music videocompilation of six Bellingham bands entitled "Joy of Six," but is currently working on "GenerationLandslide," a weekly music magazine to be shown on cable television. The "Joy of Six" videocompilation is the first in a series that Ensign plans to put out. Ensign will focus more on the wholeNorthwest music scene in future volumes, but based the first volume here in Bellingham. Thecompilation showcases such local talent as The Janes, The Thin Men and Game for Vultures. "It (thecompilation) stimulates the Bellingham music scene," Ensign said. "These videos give bands exposure that they wouldn't normally receive." Ensign Video Productions shot and edited each of the sixvideos. Production began last October and the compilation was completed and on store shelves Feb. 1.Feedback has been positive for the compilation, and stores report that the tape is selling well. "I intend to create each volume as a historical record of Northwest music," Ensign said. Volume two is underway and focuses on the Seattle metal/hardcore scene. Ensign expects this volume to be ready byApril. Ensign's other project, "Generation Landslide," is a half-hour television show that focuses onthe music and arts scene of Bellingham and the Puget Sound region. Hosted by former Westernstudent and former Karate Church frontman Jeff Braimes, "Generation Landslide" offers music videos oflocal and independent bands, as well as interviews and home-video contests. The show's regularfeatures include an events calendar, record reviews and open-mike coverage. Along with regular events.Ensign has planned some irregularities for the show. These "weekly surprises" could show up in the form of anything, such as occasional visits by the Fashion Police. "Ideally the show is open to anything,"Ensign said. "I would like the show to contain several things that people relate to. Basically, I would likethe show to revolve, around whatever people are into." gt;;' In sticking with the show's openprogramming philosophy, Ensign encourages suggestions that would promote and bestrepresent the Northwest arts and entertainment scene. Ensign can be reached at Ensign Video Productions inthe Fairhaven Marketplace. "Generation Landslide" premiered on Feb. 17 andean be seen at 7:30p.m.every Friday on channel 10, following the Tacoma-based Spud Goodman Show. Jesse Tinsley/TheWestern Front Tom Ensign and Laura Owens edit videos for "Generation Landslide." Student sharesmusical 'gift' with others Tim McHugh By Mario Wilkins staff reporter Western student Tim McHugh,formerly of the band Loose Change, will perform a free concert at 7 p.m. March 5, in the FairhavenCollege Auditorium. McHugh will perform songs from his newly released contemporary folk-rock tape,"Shadows on the Land." The concert is dedicated to Fairhaven College, where he has been active in therecording studio. "This gave me a good understanding of a real studio. I learned how to budget mytime," he said. "My songs are reflections of my view of the world and are vehicles or outlets to expressfeelings," McHugh said. "I am a political activist and environmentalist. I want to be involved in socialchange and education as well as political form,"McHugh said. McHugh prepared about nine months in advance for releasing his tape to enable him to get good musicians, an engineer and a studio. Hechose Eel studios in North Seattle. He used what they call "real time" in recording the tape; this meansthe tape doesn't have any added noise on the cassette. "I think it is important to have education inmusic. I think it would be difficult to record a tape without studio experience," he said. McHugh had towork a couple of years to save up enough money to make the album. He started at Western in 1979 and received a bachelor's degree in English with a focus on creative writing in 1984. He returned this yearto pursue a teaching degree in English. McHugh said, "I am swamped with school and music. I practicea lot. I often lock myself up in a piano room in the Performing Arts Center, sometimes up to two hours aday." McHugh said his long-term goal is to get a record contract. Copies of his tape, "Shadows on theLand,"will be available at this and other concerts. It will also be available through mail order and at TheLanding in Fairhaven. N/wt?£ Ritual gives rise to penis envy FRIDAY BUCKS TAVERN: Hey! That'sMy Bike performs at 9:30 p.m. Cover charge $4.

By Nicole Bader and Gail Skurla Accent editors Uh-oh.Penis envy strikes again. To our utter dismay we realize we've been deprived of a common boyhoodritual: Crossing Streams. Yep — our female anatomy has prevented us from participating in thisemotion-laden bonding ceremony. Trusted sources tell us it involves two or more males urinating together and, well... crossing streams. We assume these guys did this at a young age (and hopefully into atoilet). Sort of like something you'd see in the movie "Stand By Me." What's The Use? Tempted to foolMother Nature, we researched a cone-shaped camping accessory designed to allow women to, uh ...relieve their bladders while standing up. We've heard it's called (we know you're waiting with bated breath for this one) — the Lady J. Beyond our fleeting moments of Freudian anxiety, we just have to ask,What's the Use? Supposedly it was invented to give females the freedom from having to bare theirfannies and squat in the process of peeing. Think about it. Unless someone creates a pair of Levis withbuttons that extend far beyond where they normally do, a cone-shaped "thinga-majig" just won't hack it.Lady J, we're gonna have to drop our pants anyway. After realizing the flaw of this could-have-been-niftygizmo, we resigned ourselves to the fact that we'll never experience the satisfaction of crossingstreams. Oh, well. We'll just continue to get our cheap thrills by ranking on Black Angus. Musicdepartment offers new degrees Western's department of music will be offering a bachelor of arts in music and a minor in music beginning fall quarter. Judy Korski, undergraduate faculty advisor for thedepartment of music, said the bachelor of arts in music is for those who want a degree but not aprofession in music. The degree requires 60 credits and the minor requires 30 credits. "A B.A. inanything is desirable," Korski said. "Job-wise it's valuable and allows other studies in a minor, secondmajor or any combination." Music theory is a basic requirement in both the bachelor of arts majorand minor. Other requirements include studies in survey courses of listening, history and non-Westernmusic. Kcrski said students must also take a number of elective courses where they can concentrate on an area such as jazz performance, composition or theory. Private lessons could be included aselective courses in less concentrated areas or where space is available. "We can always make room.Check it out," Korski said. "Students who want to explore music beyond GUR's should see me. Don't befrightened by 'for music majors only.' Many times that restriction is only for registration purposes."The bachelor of arts in music degree is functioning now in the department and further details will beavailable in the 1989-91 catalog. ---------- Western Front - 1989 March 3 - Page 7 ---------- The Western Front March 3,1989 7 Much ado Theater 'Sampler' shows scenes from Shakespeare BySue LaPalm staff reporter Theater-goers can for the first time experience the luxury of upholstery-cushioned seats in the Old Main Theatre by attending the Shakespeare Sampler at 7:30 p.m. March8,9,10 and 11. A collection of scenes from Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," "Romeo andJuliet," "Taming of the Shrew," "Richard m," "Hamlet," and "Henry IV, Part I," comprise the sampler thatconcludes the department's six-week tour of Washington and lower British Columbia high schools.Several scenes include sword play, which has required cast members to learn fencing and combat skills during rehearsals in January. "The rapiers and daggers are very real looking and can be dangerous ifwe're not careful with them," said Douglas VanderYacht, chairman of the theatre/dance department anddirector of the sampler. Cast members also had to learn various skills in combat. A combat master fromMcMinnville, Ore., was hired to teach them how to throw each other. "There are several scenes in the'Taming of the Shrew' where the actors actually throw each other across the stage and into walls,"VanderYacht said. He added they also will be teaching some of the combat techniques to students in the high schools. The program's format is designed for educational purposes. It is an idealintroduction to theatergoers who are unfamiliar with Shakepeare's works. Prior to each scene, the lead actors will introduce the material and the characters they play. The audience will be able to enjoywatching the actors play a variety of roles. The Shakespeare Sampler cast includes: John O'Brien,Jason Tromsness, Margaret Savas, Jody Hahn, Maureen Gaunt, Ron Hippe, Greg Butkuss and RobertHull. Tickets for the play may be bought in advance or at the door. Cost is $4 for students and seniorsand $5 general admission. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Performing Arts Center BoxOffice Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. On performance nights they can be purchased at the OldMain Box Office from 6 p.m. until the performance starts. Courtesy of theatre/dance department (Left toright) Ron Hippe, Robert Hull and Greg Butkuss perform in "A Shakespeare Sampler" in Old Main Theatre. Students direct peers in theater one-acts By Sara Britton staff reporter A dim light seems to hold theactors in place on stage. Suddenly, it is gone. Feet thump quickly and hollowly across the floor. "GO,Diane, MOVE. ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR- FIVE-SIX. Five seconds. FIVE seconds, you've got to be off.QUICKER," student-director Ceilidh Campbell booms. Four students rehearsed the award-winning one-act play "Three of Them Plus One," which Campbell wrote and is directing. Campbell and her cast arejust a few of the Western students involved in student-directed plays through the theatre/dance program.Ten student-directed plays will be presented from 6-9:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 5, and from 4-9:30p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, March 6 and 7, in the Old Main Theatre. The programs are free to thepublic. Involvement in student-directed plays fulfills a requirement for Directing 371 and 571, publicistGail Stark said. Students audition in front of all the student directors as a whole and then the directorsdecide which actors to call back. "It's like a cattle call," said Diane Shern, who has a leading role in"Three of Them Plus One." More women audition for the plays than men, Shern said. Many studentsinvolved are not theater majors. Martha Day, who plays Nan in Campbell's act, said students involved get a chance to develop acting skills in an environment that is not as pressured. Students agreed that theystill get stage fright, however, and work with the same attitude as actors doing a major performance."You still get the rush," Shern said. "Three of Them Plus One" is a farcical look at modem-day love andrelationships. Campbell, who is Australian, said the play reflects a subtle, British style of humor. It wonbest in the state and region in the 1971 MEFA drama festival in Canada. "Impromptu," which depicts four actors called together to improvise a play, deals with the balance of truth and illusion in life. It isdirected by Glen Carpenter. In "Skirmishes," directed by Patricia Wade, two sisters come to terms withtheir mother's death and their own relationship. "Actor's Nightmare" is a comedy by satirist CristopherDurang and directed by Larry Stahl. An actor fears he finds himself as an understudy in a play but can'tremember rehearsing the role*. Other plays-presented are: "Overtones," directed by Kevin Beatty;"Crawling Arnold," a comedy directed by Carrie Hegdahl; "The American Dream," a satirical look atAmerican values directed by Tim McKennie; "Bad Habits," a scene directed by Drue Robinson; and"The Intruder," a symbolist drama directed by Rachel Thomson. Campbell, who has taught actingclasses at the college level, said she loves all aspects of a play, from directing to set design. "(Theater)is a very single-minded profession— it is my lifc.Theater is a learning process forever," she said. Thenext scene begins; it is still dark. Two actors pretend they're coming home to their dark apartment,bumping into each other and tripping over chairs. Campbell wants to remind her actors how it feels tostumble around in the dark. She is quiet through the rest of the run-through. When the act is finished,however, criticism flows freely—scenes are replayed; timing and voice inflection are analyzed; nuancesare discussed. If her students keep improving 100 percent per rehearsal, their first Sunday performanceshould be impressive. Regardless, Campell is looking forward to her directing experience. "People inBellingham arrive at a play early...there's an excitement, even for small productions—I don't know why.Maybe it's the water," she said. ^BiiBHIililllllHI Cowboy Junkies concert Tuesday night in the VikingUnion Lounge enveloped the mind and body like a g||||^lil^ir|(^^^|^g hypnotic alto voice had a soothingBand Review B^lttiHHiBHMiiHlHii SliiiiHHWBilBBiiiH^Bl amusing ballads.

"That was the best partof my day," said the Western forward. "And my night." Whatley scored a game-high 16 points, 14 in the first half, leading the Viking men's basketball team to an 87-63 victory over Whitman in a NationalAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics District 1 semifinal gt;^;game. The triumph moves Westerninto the Finals of the district tournament, where it will face Central Washington University in a best-two-of-three series for the district title and the right to play in the NAIA National Tournament. Western,which is now 25-4, is enjoying a nine-game winning streak. The last team to beat the Vikings, who areranked seventh nationally in the NAIA, was Whitman, 80-77, on Jan. 28 at Walla Walla. "It was morethan just revenge," Western Coach Brad Jackson said. "Our players wanted to play like they 're capableof playing. We were-n't very intense over there." Western jumped ahead quickly, taking a 19-9 lead sixminutes into the game.

Ratball seriousbusiness for part-time hoopsters By Peter Ide staff reporter to The unofficial ratball season came aclose Monday night as the "Monsters of Hoop" defeated "Jimmy Chitwood" for the men's "B" leaguechampionship and "Optimus Prime" beat "Yaba" for the men's "C" league title. Ratball, a term describing the mostly unorganized basketball playing in Carver Gym, is taken seriously by the many gym ratswho participate at Western. While those who don't participate may find this difficult to understand, experienced ratballers know there's a serious matter of pride involved when considering one'sbasketball playing ability. Ratballers don't go to the gym to make friends. They go to display their raw talent and ability to imitate Michael Jordan. The way many ratballers play, one might wonder ifWestern is offering ratball scholarships. Although games are mostly friendly contests, they often eruptinto heated arguments over questionable foul calls, traveling or other violations. Even in the "organized" con-fines of officiated intramural games, referees' calls are usually taken as questionable at best.Fueled by Western's recent intercollegiate success and the rejuvenated Seattle Supersonics, ratball participation seems to have grown enormously in recent years. The gym is packed on weekends, withteams having to wait two or three games, or nearly an hour, to get their chance at controlling the court.Winning at these times is important because the winners rule the court until a challenging teamdefeats them. The losers must wait in line to get another chance to play. With players of all sizes,shapes and skills the competition gets intense. For some reason, however, sweaty guys with hair ontheir backs (who always seem to be on the "skins" team) aren't guarded as closely as other players.The winter intramural season is indeed the time that ratballers eagerly await every year. It gives thema chance to show their ability in an "orderly" arena with referees and the whole bit. The champions canofficially sit atop the ratball world at Western for a year and wear the beloved intramural champion T-shirts that support their claim. FREE ICE CREAM!

But even though the Vikingsnever trailed, they couldn 't afford to let up. They might have been decapitated if they had. The gamewas physical, as most games involving Whitman are. Rare was the trip down the court where at leastone player didn't end up on the floor. "We didn't want to get out of control," Whatley said. "We knew ifwe played our game they couldn't beat us." Western's Rich Baxter was shoved into the fourth row of thecrowd on an intentional foul by Thor Atkisson in the second half, and Western's Ray Ootsey andWhitman's Scott Merri-man nearly came to blows after crashing to the floor a few seconds before. "He was holding my shorts when he blocked me out," Ootsey said. "Then he grabbed my arm and pulledme down. When we got to the other end, he shoved me then elbowed me in the side. I had to calm down. I knew we have to play more district games, and it doesn' t pay to hit him." Jackson said it wasimportant for the Vikings to maintain their calm. "Our focus was to rise above it and not get involved," hesaid. "We felt that we were the better team." And they were. Western led, 43- 27, at halftime, and by asmuch as 36 points in the second half. "Western played aggressively and with determination," WhitmanCoach Jim Mastin said. "We couldn't sustain any intensity, and they forced us to make errors wedon't normally make. "They have a team where everyone has a role, and everyone is happy with theirrole. When they go to the bench, they get bigger and quicker, and we get smaller and slower." GeraldWilliams led the Missionaries, who ended their season 17-10, with 15 points.

The Vikings upped their season record to 26-4 and set a team record for mostwins in a season. The previous record was held by the 1983-84 and the 1985-86 teams. "This wasreally a great team effort tonight," Viking Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "The starters played well andKatie (Kennedy) was superb off the bench." Kennedy scored 10 points on five of eight shooting fromthe field and dished off three assists in only 15 minutes. The Vikes quickly jumped out to a 6-0 lead inthe first2:45 of the game before the Falcons tallied two points on the scoreboard. Viking forward AnnaRabel upped the lead to eight points to move into sixth place on Western' s career scoring list. Herhistoric basket came with 13:31 remaining in the half. Western never had an easy time with SPU. Eachtime the Vikings looked as if they would pull away, the Falcons immediately battled back to tighten thelead. "Seattle Pacific kept the game close. Even with their big players in foul trouble, they never gaveup," Goodrich said.

Rabel played an outstanding game, pulling downnine rebounds and scoring nine of her game-high 20 points in the first half. The second half looked verymuch like the first, with tough battles under the boards and a close score. SPU closed the Western lead to 47-45 before Kennedy nailed three straight bombs. "When Katie (Kennedy) is open, we know thatshe's going to make her shot if we get her the ball," said Vikings' backup center Chris Garrison."When she's on, she's really on. Western appeared to have control of the game with five minutesremaining and an eight-point lead before turning ice cold. SPU shut out the Vikes until Porter hit twofree throws with 49 seconds remaining. SPU immediately responded with a 16-footer by guard JanBolton to make the score 64-62. The biggest play of the game occurred when there was a madscramble for the ball with 15 seconds left in the game. Porter came up with it and zipped a pass to Rabel for an easy two. She was fouled on the shot and made her free throw to make it 67-62, complete thethree-point play and put the game away. "Our team played pretty well tonight, but I think Western'splayoff experience was the difference in the game," Falcon Coach Gordy Presnell said. The Vikingswill travel to Bumaby, B.C., to battle the Clan of Simon Fraser University Saturday in the first of the best-of-three series. Western will host game two Monday March 6 in Carver Gym. Both games are at 7:30p.m. Simon Fraser pounded Lewis Clark State College to advance to the finals. Western's Gary Daviesand Dave Roberts advanced to the semifinals in singles to help the men's tennis team to a third placefinish in the Seattle Pacific University Invitational last weekend. Davies and Roberts each posted 3-1singles records to reach the semifinals. They combined to reach the semifinals in doubles beforeRoberts sustained an injury, and the two were forced to default. "Roberts is making good progress,and Davies showed real well," said Viking CoachTomHalverson. Halverson added that Roberts' injurywas not serious. Kim Keller posted a 2-2 record and reached the semifinals of the consolation round tohelp the Viking women to a fourth-place finish. Christa and Carin Clow also put in strongperformances for the women's team, Halverson said. "The strength of the women's team is in singles,"Halverson said.

Tennis squads look toward bright future By MichellePartridge staff reporter With a number of returning players and some promising newcomers, Western'smen's and women's tennis squads should be much improved this season. The team, in the second yearof a two-year probationary period as a varsity sport, is coached by Western students Tom Halverson andKeith Wolf. "The team really looks good," Wolf said. "This is the best they've been prepared." Wolfadded that the team has been practicing three times a week since Jan. 1. The team opened theseason Feb. 22 in Seattle against Seattle University, the men won their matches 6-0, and the womenlost 6-2. Five letter-winners return for the men's team, which finished with a 4-6 record last year andplaced fourth at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District 1 Championships. SeniorJim Blacksten, the men's team captain, and sophomore Gary Davies will provide strong leadership for the team. Blacksten finished last season with a 5-7 record as the No. 1 player, while Davies posted a team-best 8-6 mark as No. 2. Pat Kelly, a junior, and sophomores Todd Jennings, named most improved in1988, and Greg Pound round out the letter winners. Newcomer Dave Roberts, a freshman from Berkeley, Cal., will be vying for a top spot on the team. The women's squad, which finished with a 4-4 record lastyear and placed eighth at district, will be led by freshman Jasmine Min-bashian and returning letter-winner Christa Clow. "The women's team was hard to rank because the players are so close in ability. The team is very athletically gifted," Wolf said. Clow finished with a 9-3 record in number three singlesplay and was voted the Vikings' most valuable player last year. Clow teamed up with Kim Keller in thenumber two doubles for an 8-5 mark. "This is the strongest we've ever been," Clew said. "We're playingreally well. We're solid and show a lot of depth." Other returning letter winners include junior LeslieHamner and sophomores Kelli Capps and Irene Wolf. Capps was voted most improved last year."We've all been playing together for two years," Clow said. "We are really psyched up and ready to play." Wolf said the men's and women's teams recently finished up a challenge within the team, where players competed in a match situation for ranking in the team. As a result of that competition, Davies will beplaying number one singles on the men's team, while Min-bashian will play in the top spot for the women. Wolf and Halverson have implemented a program this year that includes a workout, stretching, drills and different aspects of the mental game, Wolf said. Last year the Vikings competed at the varsity level forthe first time since 1981. They are operating as a varsity team, but receive funding as a club sport untilnext year, Wolf said. "As a club sport, it's hard to get matches consistently," Wolf said. "We have toscrape to pay for everything," Clow added. Wolf anticipates Pacific Lutheran University and theUniversity of Puget Sound to be tough competitors this season. "Traditionally we come up strong against PLU and UPS," Wolf said. "We set our sights on those two teams, and we gauge our improvement on how well we play against them." Wolf said the teams hope to finish with a strong season mark this year, so they will enter as a varsity sport coming off a good season. "I hope we can put a program in placethat will carry through," Wolf said. The Vikings are scheduled to play a string of four home matchesbeginning March 12, when the men take on the University of British Columbia, and March 15, when thewomen host Whitworth College. The two Viking squads will have a 24-hour tennis marathon March 8 inRed Square to raise money for a trip to districts. Western's Kim Keller Front file photo Baker Mtn.

Monday'sServices and Activities Fee Committee meeting was packed with representatives from club sports, varsity sports, drama, debate, music, publications and other groups under the Departmentally Related ActivitiesCommittee (DRAC). They asked for more money. They need it and deserve it. Now, S A fees account for $74 of students' tuition every quarter. Of that, university residences gets about $30 and AssociatedStudents gets $24, DRAC gets $20. DRAC affects all students, not just those who live in the residencehalls or those who use AS services. Activities in DRAC promote Western's reputation statewide andnationally. A good reputation spread by debate, sports and the arts helps every student. DRAC helpsbind the university together. Sports is a rally-ingicenter for students and alumni. When teams do well, asthe basketball teams are this year, the pride trickles down to students. The activity representativesexplained their needs. Club sports need equipment, varsity sports and debate need travel money,publications need more money to pay for phone bills, and performing groups need equipment. Basicneeds. We hope the S A Fee committee continues to increase funds for DRAC, for the betterment ofstudents and Western. Bike ban bogus Associated Students Board members want to ban bikers fromriding across the campus for the 20-minute peak each hour between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. They want thebicyclists to walk their vehicles. Good intentions, but it probably wouldn't work. The AS proposal wouldhave campus security or grounds people stopping bikers. However, campus security has no power toarrest or cite violators. Grounds workers don't have a reason to stop bikers. Last year's skateboard baneliminated the noisy, "brick-loosening" pests from Red Square, but the ban was targeted at highschoolers. A bike ban affects many Western students who rely on their bicycles as their onlytransportation. With no end in sight to the parking problem, bicycles should be welcomed to campus.Most bicyclists are careful to avoid the crowds. But only peer pressure will keep the few obnoxious ridersfrom weaving through hundreds of pedestrians. To help nudge peer pressure, perhaps bike lanes could be painted (in an unobtrusive color) to give bicycles a convenient pathway of their own. That way, bikers can be free of guilt for riding on campus and pedestrians can feel safer. David Cuillier, editor; Laura Gordon,managing editor, Jeremy Meyer, news editor, Timothy K.

John Tower is not considered to be any worse orbetter than most politicians, but he made the mistake of letting the media get wind of his alleged alcohol abuse. It is apparent that after more than a decade of strong media attention, America still thinksalcoholism is a humorous subject. After the confessions of Betty Ford, a former first lady, ElizabethTaylor and a host of other celebrities to alcoholism, a drunk is still something to be laughed at. Lastweek I sat stunned as the evening news asked the question, "Senator Tower — is it the gin that did him in?" This is not the kind of reporting that is of any value to the American public. What does Tower'spolitical record say for him? That is the question that the media may never answer to anyone'ssatisfaction. A few weeks ago, "Saturday Night Live" ran two separate sketches concerning the Towerissue. The first skit showed actual footage where Tower was being questioned by the review committee,and then they asked him if he had a drinking problem. The footage showed Tower taking a drink inresponse to the question. Then the drinking part was replayed several times for humor. In an other ski tTower was selling defense secrets in order to get a drink. Ironically, "Saturday Night Live" is taped justacross the hall from another show whose host tries every afternoon to explain issues like teenage drug and alcohol abuse — Donahue. The show should look no further for those explanations. I hope forthe sake of Tower that the clumsy alcoholic image presented to the press dies down as quickly as itarose. But this does not seem likely with even the most conservative Democrats vowing to vote nextweek against the nomination. As long as America makes it funny and humorous to have a drinkingproblem, there will be abuse. After all is laughed at and joked about, alcoholism is still a disease and not a moral weakness. It may seem to be a cliche now, but it is apparent that the message has still not hitsome very ignorant people in the media. Historic hall valuable Edens should be restored I n 1921 EdensHall opened as a majestic new dormitory housing more than 100 women. In 1989 it is a deterioratingbuilding covered with graffiti. "Old" Edens' potential of helping our campus improve aesthetically is great. "Old" Edens was an all-women's dorm from 1921 up until the late '60s when it was renovated intoadministrative offices before being shut up in 1978. My mom used to live there. My grandma stillremembers dropping her "baby" off at college: "I'll never forget leaving her sitting on the (Edens) steps, Icried all the way home." My mom loves to rehash all her memories — she still runs around with the"girls" she met there. Her best friend tells me stories of trying to sober up before coming in for curfew,which was 9 p.m. on the weeknights and 1 a.m. on the weekends. They would shove breath mints intheir mouths and lean on friends hying to make it past the house mother. Punishment would mean notbeing able to stay out on the weekends later than 9 p.m. They called it "being campused." My parentsmet there. Because it was almost an all-day trip to go back home, many students would stay here overThanksgiving weekend. My dad lived in College Hall and was late for the Thanksgiving Day banquet onthe ground floor of Edens. The only empty seat was at my mom's table. The rest is history. Last yearthe view of Edens from my room in Mathes Hall helped me cope with not getting a bayside room. Themost pleasing architecture on this campus is pre-brick box mania and definitely pre-groovy '60s design. "The big orange thing" and other rusting sculptures around campus make many wonder why money was spent or these arty donations accepted. College Hall, Old Main, the old part of Wilson Library and oldEdens are intriguing and beautiful. Part of Western's budgetrequest this year to the state Legislatureincludes a request for money to hire an expert to access the building and from their findings make arecommendation as to the future of Edens. Peter Harris, vice president in charge of business andfinancial affairs is "fairly optimistic" that money allotted to hire an expert will be approved. Beforeanymore donations are accepted or money is spent on art sculptures or brick buildings built, I think weshould restore an unquestionable work of art, old Edens. ( ---------- Western Front - 1989 March 3 - Page 11 ---------- The Western Front March 3,1989 11 Letters Tuition boost justified Editor, Last week during registrationI was approached by a petitioner proposing a ban on a tuition increase next year. She proudly told meof the hundreds of signatures already collected on the petition and of the future action herorganization was planning in Olympia. It was then I realized that all of this seemingly heroic bitching was out of hand. First of all, I cannot understand how so many people can justify requisitions for modernrenovations and new developments at Western without an increase in funds. Second, I cannotunderstand those who are in favor of increasing development funding outside of tuition hikes, whenmost people are totally oblivious to where current funding comes from. The fact is, most university and high schjgol development funding comes from the destruction of Washington's public forests.Approximately 62 percent of the Department of Natural Resources timber harvest revenue isallocated for public school development. Thus, if tuition is not raised to MOVING OVERSEAS TOSTUDY? or RETURNING HOME? or SENDING GIFTS TO FRIENDS? Lei Airport Brokers save you onthe transportation cost.

So, to try and do my part, I mountmy trusty velocipede and pedal my way to class with therest of the people who can't drive their cars. Now Fleming says I can't even ride my bike anymore! First it was my skateboard, then it was my car, now it is my bike that's a problem. What is next? How aboutbanning people in wheelchairs or people on crutches or perhaps people whose book bags stick out toofar. All of these people add to the congestion. How about having Western's SS (parking police) writetickets for those people too? Fleming says, that by having people walk their bikes, congestion will beeased. How did she come up with that brilliant plan? A person walking his or her bike takes up at leasttwice as much room as someone riding a bike! If the AS wants to avoid the problem, they couldpropose widening the walkways or putting in bike paths so that everyone is happy! And to help endthe parking hassles, add more bike racks and encourage people to ride their bikes more, not discourage them. The last thing that I want to see happen is to have those sadists in the Letters should focus onissues that are in the news or are of general interest Letters 250 words or shorter will get preference:Letters must be signed. An address and telephone number at which you can be reached must beincluded, little blue golf carts on campus writing tickets for people riding bikes. If this bike ban isadopted, the AS will probably propose a curfew or maybe a dress code and have the university's littleNazis write tickets for those who will not obey. Rise up and fight! Power to the pedalers! Jeff Wilsonjunior, psychology major Why do battle with bicyclists? Editor, One of the great joys of life at Westernis watching our student government at work. This fall the AS allowed our absentee landlord, thechairman of the Board of Trustees, to strip the campus of police protection without so much as awhimper of protest. Now it appears that the AS is ready to do serious battle with a sizable portion of. itsown constituency over bicycles on the sidewalks. The university has trained officers on the payrollwho are not allowed to stop, arrest, or even detain drunk drivers on this campus and the AS is worriedabout bicycle riders? Please AS, let us see some real leadership on a serious issue for once. K.

Most student-recruiting literature bragsabout the school's computers already, he said, and students are beginning to judge a school by thecomputer technology it has available. As a physicist, Wong sees an important role for liberal artspeople in today's scientific age. "The arts can't be pushed aside in an age of science, becausehumanists are the ones to challenge science's assumptions when we (scientists) don't see a need tochallenge them," he said. Students need to understand the language of arts as well as sciences, hesaid. When asked how he would respond to a charge that freshmen study only five hours a week, hesaid the university should look at the support system for students* studying. For example, he asked, "Isthe library open when students want to study? Are they able to use the technology they need?" Theposition of provost, vice president for Academic Affairs, originally opened when Paul Ford stepped downto return to teaching in the education department. Al Froderberg replaced Ford as acting vice presidentuntil a search for*a new vice president could be conducted. After the deaths of university President G.Robert Ross and two vice-presidents in November 1987, Froderberg temporarily took over the job ofpresident, while Sam Kelly moved into the position of acting vice president for Academic Affairs.Froderberg became vice president for External Affairs after President Kenneth Mortimer was hired. Kellyonly accepted the position of vice president for Academic Affairs temporarily and has decided not toremain in the position, said Roland DeLorme, Kelly's assistant. DeLorme could not say what Kelly'splans are for the future. The Committee on Academic Affairs hopes to have the vice presidential positionfilled by the end of winter quarter. The committee received 260 applications for the position. In January,the committee narrowed the number of candidates to 18. Wong, Karlovitz and James Kelley are thefinalists from that group. Wong said Western fits into his career plans by allowing him the opportunity tohelp the university reach out to the nation and the world, he said. Bellingham is an ideal location because of its proximity to Canada and the Pacific Rim, he said.

Most student support was forincreased DRAC funding from the proposed fee increase, along with a plea for equal funding. Thedepartments agreed a fee increase would help budgets stripped by the new state minimum wage. LyndaGoodrich, athletic director, presented the DRAC budget proposal which asked for about $635,650 forthe 1989-90 academic school year—an increase of S128,150 from this year. Goodrich echoed thestudents calls for more equitable funding. "I do believe that DRAC, compared to housing, serves everystudent on this campus, whether they go to a game or read The Western Front. It seems only realistic that DRAC get a third of the (S A fee) budget," she said. Jack Smith, Viking Union director,presented an AS budget which asks for $692,750 for the 1989-90 academic year. This is an increase ofabout $92,000 more than the current budget. In defense of Housing and Din-ing's 41-percent budgetshare, University Residences Director Kay Rich pointed out that bond rules require a payment of atleast $27 from each student. Housing and Dining's budget request is $828,000, an increase of about$61,000 more than this year. The request would maintain its current share of 41 percent. Anyrecommendations made by the S A Fee Committee must be approved by Western's Board ofTrustees, Taylor said. From Seattle to London to Frankfurt to Delhi to Bangkok to Seattle Scheduledcarriers!
