1971_1119 ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 1 ---------- FRIDAY NOV. 19th 1971 BELLINGHAM RECYCLE ALL PAPER \ "The Leading College Newspaper inWashington State" / A Sundquist seeks faculty pay raises\ By O.K. JOHNSON Tod Sundquist, ASpresident, has asked the AS legislature to join him and other members of the executive branch in astudent campaign to raise faculty and staff salaries. The campaign, divided into five phases, is directedat state lawmakers to get them to examine the need for higher salaries. Phase One—A petitioncampaign, already underway, aims at collecting at least 5,000 student signatures at Western to presentto important state legislators. Phase Two-Sundquist is attempting to encourage similar activities at other four-year institutions around the state. Saturday, Sundquist will meet with other student body presidents at the University of Washington to discuss the issue. Phase Three—A mail campaign will be directedat parents of Western students to inform them of the need to increase faculty and staff salaries, and toask them to take any action that they may regard as appropriate. Phase Four-A publicity campaignthrough every available element of the news media to bring the salary case to the taxpayers and voters of the state will be begun. Phase Five-The entire effort will conclude with a vigorous and extensivecampaign to personally inform state lawmakers of Western's needs and desires concerning faculty andstaff salaries. "A recent study of Western's salary scale in relation to similar institutions in seven otherstates," said Sundquist, "revealed that our salary position falls at least 10 per cent below comparablecolleges and universities and will, most TOD SUNDQUIST likely, further deteriorate to a level of 15 percent short of parity if faculty salaries at Western are not increased before the 1972-73 academic year,"Comparing Western against schools around the nation, the situation is even worse. Moreover, inWashington, comparable state and federal employees, electricians and truck drivers are but a few of themany groups who have seen their salaries increased far more frequently and substantially thanWestern's faculty during the past five years," he said. Sundquist also said the task of attracting new,young faculty to Western has become difficult. A few examples were given the legislature. "A newteacher with a Ph.D. in speech pathology and audiology from the University of Washington was offered$11,500 by Western, but accepted $16,000 from the University of Cincinnati," said Sundquist. In another instance, Western had an opening for a doctorate in school psychology-school counseling. Of nineapplicants, three were qualified. Western offered $ 11,000 to a woman from the University of Utah.Instead, she accepted a $14,000 position from a California State College The second qualified applicantturned down Western's offer, accepting a $17,500 position at Arizona State University. The third alsoaccepted a $ 17,500 position elsewhere. Steps have been taken by College President Charles Flora tobring back Western and other four-year institutions around the state as contenders in the job market.Flora recently submitted a $168 million supplemental operating budget for the 1971-72 fiscal year to thelegislature for consideration. Most of the money would be used for improving the salary structure forWestern faculty and staff. Sundquist urged the AS legislature, as students and responsible leaders tolend a hand in the effort. Sundquist added, "If Western is left with poor and mediocre faculty, as aconsequence of insultingly low salaries, it will be you and I and every student of Western, present andfuture, who will bear the burden of low quality education." The making of an Ail-American rat —In thedepths of the Miller Hall basement Front reporter Steve Carvey came up with a story both humorous and educational. His account of an experiment conducted by a psychology class in motivation and theexploits of "Big Lew," a rat that plays basketball, are on pages 6 and 7 in today's paper.

After considerablediscussion on the duties and authority of the temporary officials, the Senate elected Marvin Olmstead,faculty senator from the speech department, as temporary chairman, and Harvey Gelder, faculty senatorfrom Fairhaven, as temporary secretary. The new governing body also elected James Kennedy to be thestudent representative on the temporary Executive Committee, composed of Kennedy, Olmstead, Gelderand President Charles J. Flora, a constitutional appointee. Those were the only formal actions taken bythe Senate during the entire two-hour session. Following an address by President Flora, Stanly Daugert,the author of the original proposal which resulted in the Senate's formation, said that the Senate shouldnot elect permanent officers until the senators had an opportunity to meet and get to know each other.He suggested that the Senate elect a temporary chairman to conduct business until the senatorsdecided they wanted to elect permanent officers. After half a dozen motions, and as many amendmentsto Daugert's original suggestion, the Senate elected Olmstead and Gelder from a field that includedWillard Brown, faculty, physics; and Robert Teshera, faculty, geography. Kennedy was elected oversenators Bub Ezell and Joe McConkey for the student seat on the temporary Executive Committee. Thenumber of votes cast for the individual winners was not revealed, but it was apparent from the totalnumbers of votes cast for each election that several of the 37 senators present preferred not to vote at all. Others turned in blank ballots or wrote "abstain" on their ballots. Absent from Wednesday's meetingwere senators Larry Diamond, Jerome Glass, Don House, Sam Kelly, Frederick Sargent II and LarryVance. The Senate voted to elect permanent officers at its fourth regular meeting and set a period of 60days within which the next three meetings shall take place. After nearly 30 minutes of discussion, theSenate set its next meeting for 5 p.m. Nov. 29. A place for the meeting was not set. WashPIRG petitions reach 4 J00 students About 4,700 signed petitions have been collected for the $1 surcharge onregistration fees to finance consumer advocacy under the Washington Public Interest Research Group(WashPIRG). WashPIRG sponsors hope to college 6,000 signatures by next Wednesday. Eight otherschools in Washington have started petition drives. These are: the University of Washington (UW),Highline Community College in King County, North Seattle Community College, Seattle Pacific College,Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Gonzaga University in Spokane and Skagit Valley CommunityCollege. Washington State University will begin a petition drive February 1. Other colleges are planningpetition drives. According to Dave Humphreys, a UW WashPIRG organizer, the UW has collected over14,800 student petitions. They need 16,540 signatures to have 50 per cent of the student body. The UWhas such a divergent student body with night classes that it is extremely difficult to find students whohave not signed, he said. At the UW, the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) have gone on record tooppose WashPIRG. Their biggest attack has been on the $1 mandatory tax and the refund system,Humphreys pointed out. YAF claims that the Oregon Public Interest Research Group (OsPIRG) atPortland State University would refund only 80 cents of the $1 fee allocated to their group. Humphrey ssaid that actually the students at Portland State only contributed 76 cents in fees to OsPIRG and wererefunded the same amount. He said that YAF does see a need for a PIRG and have really only attackedthe tuition method. Humphreys said that the amazing fact about the public interest research groupswhich have sprung up in Minnesota and Oregon is that not one school has failed to get at least 50 percent of the student body signing petitions. At one school 90 per cent of the students signed. SPRIGopposes UW WashPIRG Two student groups on the University of Washington (UW) campus have joined in opposition to WashPIRG. The Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) and the Federated YoungRepublicans (FYR), have formed SPRIG, the Student Public Research Interest Group. "The purpose ofSPRIG is to research the merits and demerits of campus projects, local business and area enterprises,"said Galen Tyler, YAF chairman and SPRIG spokesman. SPRIG is stressing its voluntary aspects, ifstudents don't want to pay their dollar they will not be required to support it. WashPIRG will allowstudents a refund within five days if the student so desires. "We aren't against the concept of a publicinterest research group, because that is what we are. "It is just that our research indicates that it wouldnot be in the students' best interests to have to pay the fees to WashPIRG and then have to go throughred tape to get their money back if they wanted it," said YAF member Bonnie Good: "If SPRIG gets adollar from 15,000 students we will know that we have support." I Also at UW a debate was scheduledbetween the | Committee Against Student Exploitation and WashPIRG to l debate the question of acompulsory fee to support a | voluntary organization. Shannon Point marine lab becomes reality ByJACKIE LAWSON After years of research and planning, the Shannon Point Marine Center has finallybecome a reality. Financed by the state legislature, the marine center WiL be located on a 70-acre sitein Anacortes, as a service to Western students interested in studying marine life in depth. According toDavid Schneider of the biology department, College President Charles Flora has, for years, had thedream of developing a marine facility, to utilize the marine habitat located near Western. In the mid-60's,the state legislature authorized the college to obtain a site for the marine lab. Lummi Island was DAVIDSCHNEIDER considered, however problems arose concerning land acquisition. The present site, located west of the Anacortes ferry terminal, is ideal for the lab, according to Schneider. It contains nearly 3,000 feet of shoreline, a natural freshwater pond, and mature forest land. "It is a great site for teachinggeneral ecology, as well as for conducting extensive research. Huxley College will probably utilize thearea as well," Schneider said. More than half the site has been purchased, with the other half leasedwith an option to buy. The legislature granted $375,000 as a net amount, which is to be spent on building the structures and for site development. This does not include purchasing equipment. "We figure thesite development will cost in the vicinity of $82,000, which is just to build a gravel road into the site andlay the utilities. This leaves $288,000 for building structures," Schneider explained. The Board ofTrustees has approved the schematic phase of planning, and the next step is for the architect to drawdetailed plans of the buildings, which the Trustees must approve before the contract can be opened forbids. There is currently no money budgeted for lab equipment, however a director of the center has been appointed. William Summers, who has a part-time appointment to Huxley College, will be the marine lab director, and will attempt to obtain further funding from the state. Following completion of the facility,students will be urged to move to Anacortes for an entire quarter and take nothing but marine science.There will ' b e three departments involved in- the program: biology, geology, and psychology. Althoughthe courses offered will be primarily for majors in the three areas, other interested students will beencouraged to come to Anacortes, view the facility, and take several classes. The marine lab facility willbe for all state colleges and several community colleges. Skagit Valley Community College and EverettCommunity College have expressed an interest in lab research. "It should be a very flexible program.We want to offer block programs, so we can be flexible in scheduling classes and field trips," Schneidersaid. F u t u r e plans include a dormitory-type structure so students could eventually live on the siteinstead of in Anacortes, as will be done during the early stages of the program. There is presently nofunding for dorms, however ij will be one of the first -'priorities' following completion -ofMSi'e' basicstructures. Additional future concerns center around a conference complex, which would accommodateclasses from other schools. It would include overnight facilities, eating facilities and lecture halls. Otherstate colleges may join together to seek additional funding for this complex. Also included in long-rangeplans is a visitor center, involving displays of marine organisms and a riving museum. Tentativecompletion date is set for summer, 1973. This is completion only of site development and the lab. "Wefeel pretty realistic about hitting that deadline. It is conceivable that by late spring of this year we can put the project up for bids," Schneider said. The Shannon Point center will place an entirely differentemphasis on marine biology than does the University of Washington. Shannon Point will be gearedtoward undergraduate studies,: rather than graduate research.*. . . ;,.,OJJJ», ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, November 19, 1971 Bombing escalates as troop withdrawal continues. Ffr/v—News Item V V ^ * * V V ( S ^ ° ^ 'Relax... the war's almost over.' Mouth and money WashPI RGrequires students to put their money where their mouths are. If they favor consumer protection andenvironmental preservation they're going to have to pay for it. But the way WashPI RG is established italso requires students who don't favor the organization to donate a dollar. Before signing the WashPI RGpetition it would be good to keep this in mind. Don't be rushed into supporting an organization you knowlittle or nothing about. And consider that while you're signing the petition you may also be forcing otherstudents to abide by the additional dollar each quarter. It's easy to scrawl your name on a card or listnow, but you and the rest of the students may end up paying that dollar and it's very likely that manystudents won't reclaim the dollar because it won't seem worth the trouble. That's probably why WashPIRG has chosen its particular approach to gain student support. —Ron Graham Work experienceneeded A cooperative education program, which would allow students up to 30 credits for workexperience in lieu of classroom training has been presented to the Academic Council for consideration.The proposed program was designed by a student—faculty task force under the premise that certainsetting, social groupings and work practices cannot be duplicated in a classroom situation. We stronglyagree with the concepts of this proposed program. Of the many academic departments and programs atWestern, only a few, such as the education and political science departments and the journalismprogram, have an internship type learning situation for their students. How important can an internshipbe? A survey conducted last May by the education department showed that potential teacher employers rated a thorough and varied student teaching background as the most important qualification for a newteacher. Excellent grades in the academic concentration and excellent grades in education foundationcourses rated tenth and thirteenth as qualifications. In the journalism program we have students returnafter their summer internships talking about the "real newspaper world," where they learned more aboutjournalism in three months than they had in three years at Western. This is not meant as a slight to thejournalism program at Western. It is an excellent one. But in many areas, classroom learning has to becomplemented by practical work experience to give students the well-rounded education, and we meaneducation in the broadest sense of the word, that they will need after college. Hopefully, when thecooperative education proposal comes up before the Academic Council next week, they will realize howimportant this program is and take the appropriate action to institute it. —Pat Brennen WESTERNFRONT STAFF EDITOR: Ron Graham MANAGING EDITOR: Pat Brennen ASSOCIATE EDITOR: BobTaylor COPY EDITOR: Howard Scott SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Jim Thomson PHOTOGRAPHER: Ken Ritchie EXCHANGE EDITOR: Bob McLauchlan STAFF REPORTERS KernAkers James Batty, John Brewington, Jim Brooks, Stephany Bruell, Russ Cravens, Bill Dietrich, JayEckert, Walt Endicott, Steve Garvey, Sue Gawrys, Jeff Hadlock, Heidi Henken, Pam Hicks, Carolyn Hill,Jan Hoesly, Mickey Hull, O.

By Russ Cravens The move to rid the Western campus of security officers and police and establish aUtopia on the hill was not a sudden happening. For years individuals and groups advocated such things as "ripping off the pigs," and suggesting that the existence of these "law enforcers" only contributed to theatmosphere of crime on campus. However, these plans to advance society and decrease crime byeliminating law officers had gone unheeded until last week when a campus incident brought the situationto a climax. The particulars of the incident go something like this: A student contacted the security office claiming that as he was walking across campus he saw his bicycle which had been stolen about amonth earlier. A security officer responded to the complaint and took up a stake-out position, submerginghimself in one of the puddles on red square, to watch the bicycle. Some time later a student walked up to the bicycle and unlocked the chain whereupon the officer surfaced and began questioning the student.Several other students gathered to watch the officer, armed with his Matt Mattel detective kit, and thestudent talk. The crowd, growing continually, had watched the student unlock the chain on the .bike,which proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the bike was his, and consequently began to suspect theofficer was harassing the student. In response to what they saw as "police brutality" the group beganharassing the officer, throwing in comments such as "don't you pigs have anything better to do thanhassle students?" A terrible thing to say to someone who just spent an hour and twenty minutesunderwater breathing through a bamboo tube. Finally, in an effort to continue his investigation, the officerushered the student into a waiting squad car and they drove off. Rumors spread like wild fire, andstudents became concerned. Some students picketed the security office and as time passeddemonstrators worried and wondered what had happened to the student. After all, the officer had takenhim away hours ago and he had not emerged from the security office. The image of the security officersinterrogating, indeed torturing, the student behind the closed doors of the security office grew in theminds of the crowd. Students gathered in Red Square and demanded an end to the police state and thelocal constabulary entirely. The clincher came when it was discovered that the student picked up by thepolice had not stolen the bike, but was a victim himself. Student leaders wanted heads to roll. Fearing ariot unequalled in the nation's history, the college president appeared before the seething mass. "Myfellow Americans," he said, putting his best foot forward-which didn't say much for his other foot. Anyway,he announced the college would bow to the demands of the students and all security personnel, two finkjanitors and a fifth quarter freshman who ran around wearing a Dick Tracy wrist watch would behenceforth banned from campus. A cheer echoed through the class buildings surrounding the square,and students who had anticipated a real struggle reluctantly turned away and took their water balloonshome. Well, last Monday classes continued as usual and the student who had been picked up by thecampus police was in the front row of his political science class apparently unscathed. (The officer hadbelieved his innocence and had escorted him home from the scene. The student had started back tocampus but heard the commotion of the demonstration and spent the next day and a half under his bed.)The change around campus has been like a breath of fresh air. Euphoria unknown since the repeal ofprohibition has settled over the campus and some observers believe we are truly on the road to Utopia.Most of us students feel much safer knowing the police will not break into our rooms at some wee hour ofthe morning or abduct us from our classroom. Certainly everyone can agree that this is a step in (^ cL.Ko t C — W5vn \^L yw«- A-0 lt;r £ n lt;LU« lt;Li v\c^ -VUAb' £.o!u-mrv \ K \ovvqKawcV., U**-i lt;^ gt;o'meoh*. dLv- lt;-*ss^d_ l i k e . -Vk.c L o K - t Ixcivuscr (w-sr v i lt;f gt;"v gt;e-l- e£f VY\ lt;^ Klipsun changes format You'll love it or hate it, but you certainly won't feel neutral about it.

The plight of our environment is one such matter. Asdata continues to indicate the automobile's "overwhelming responsibility for air pollution, it is hoped thatthe college community would (1) attempt to reduce and limit its use of motor vehicles; (2) cease tosacrifice naturally wooded or sensibly landscaped areas for more unnecessary parking lots (it has beenpointed out that, essentially, the college provides storage space for cars used only on weekends); and(3) preserve and enjoy (in walking, running, bicycling) a pleasant atmosphere in Bellingham. Hence, Imake the following recommendation to Campus Security and the Campus Parking Committee startingwinter quarter: no campus parking permit shall be issued to any student, faculty member oradministrator unless: 1. he or she lives more than one mile from the campus, perimeter 2. his or heremployment specifically requires use of a motor vehicle, e x t e n u a t i n g personal c i r c u m s t a nc e s (e.g., physical handicapp) necessitate use of a motor vehicle. addition, it might be proposed thateach vehicle be t e s t e d by c a m p us a u t o m o b i l e - e m i s s i o n and 3.

Linda Louise Jensen Fairhaven College Encourages NAFSA Editor: Events on the Western campus during the week ofprotest against Amchitka tended to center around the choice between peace or war; peace or war withour natural resources, with our environment, and with people all over the world. One might ask how theInternational Students' Club is related to this choice. The answer to such question is very well coveredby the role of international students in National Association For Foreign Students Affairs (NAFSA).NAFSA's main objective can be summarized as an attempt to develop and sustain a favorablecooperative attitude among students of all nationalities, a peaceful approach towards world problems.This was very well illustrated as Western attempted to get international support of Canadian students inmobilizing against the Amchitka blast. The same thing can be said about international studentmobilization against wars, civil tyranny and class oppression. NAFSA feels that the world's value system can be changed over time through the willing cooperation of international students who eventually willbecome the policy makers of their respective nations. Greater student cooperation was the topicexpressed in a NAFSA regional conference w h i c h I a t t e n d e d in Mennucha-Corbett, Oregon, from October 28-31. In this conference I became convinced more than ever that simulation and diplomaticprotocol are not going to produce in us the kind of trust that is necessary to change the internationalvalue system. Let's tell it like it is if we want to achieve better international relations. I mean articulationof our feelings about each other and creating a forum for international dialogue or rap discussion.Questions like: Why don't they study in their own countries? When will they ever go home? Hasn'tAmerica got enough of its own problems? can form interesting topics in International Students' Cub. Our club with NAFSA is trying to help American trained elites better understand American foreign policieswhen they return to their respective countries and not to merely s condemn them because of their faulty image of America. NAFSA has developed programs for Americans studying abroad: Research andSurvey Section, F i e l d Service Steering, Community Action, Inter-ethnic Section, and a whole lot ofthings tied up with humanity. We want to make a region, one of NAFSA, which comprises Washington,Alaska, Northern Idaho, and Oregon, a model for eleven other regions. Why not broaden- your outlookfrom provincial to international by joining the International Students' Club. If you need more informationcontact James Inyang, Ext. 3032, or 733-1616. See you in our next meeting. James Inyang, PresidentI.S.C. Barnhart opinion needs clarification Editor: Your front-page article in Tuesday's Western Front on the Senate identifies Dr. Mike B a r n h a r t as " F l o r a 's administrative assistant," but it fails tomake clear his relation to the Senate. This may have the unfortunate effect of leading your readers tobelieve that Dr. Barnhart's statements about the Senate have some constitutional or legal significance.They do not. They are ' statements of private opinion. What disturbs me most is Dr. Barnhart's opinionthat the Senate ". . . shouldn't have to deliberate for two hours on one item . . . that any item requiringmore than an hour's deliberation should be sent back to committee . . . ." It is my opinion that thisopinion, as printed, is both simplistic and p r e s u m p t u o u s . Simplistic because it is a notoriousfact that the confining of long-term discussion to committees can be a handy anti-democratic device forthose who might wish to manipulate a legislative body. Presumptuous because any limitation on debateis a matter for the Senate to decide. Brian P. Copenhaver general studies department Senator, SocialSciences_ Approves of anti-dog signs Editor: Last week as I left the VU, I overheard a student remarkthat this "used to be a free country." His remark was in reference to the signs which direct that animals(i.e. dogs) are not allowed in the building. The great desire of the students to care for something orsomeone, or to have said care for them, seems to have resulted in a reasoning deficiency. Mosthousehold pets carry some form of pest—namely fleas. The custodians at Western are not animalhaters. But you would not enjoy being bitten by fleas every day you were trying to do your job. Theirreactions to dogs is not punitive, but protective of both students and themselves. The next time you feelsorry for some poor cold dog who wants to enter "The Wonderful World of Western" . . . THINK FLEAS. D. A. Miller Former Custodian WashPIRG refund considered positive Editor: While appreciating thecomments of Jack LeMoine's letter in Tuesday's Western Front, I feel that he is missing an importantphase of the refundable dollar. A positive aspect of the refundable dollar is that it will provide WashPIRG with a desirable negative input. The expression of diverse opinions often offers a chance for new ideasand improvements. If the people wishing a refund would volunteer their ideas they would help WashPIRGmove in a direction more acceptable to our community. Patricial Murray "The Slumps" applaudedEditor: Steve Johnston's article on "the Slumps" was appropriate, well-written and true-as well as veryentertaining. It made my day worthwhile. -S.R.

Legal Aids has direct contact with locallawyers, and can refer students to the attorney best qualified to handle a particular case. "If a studentreally needs a lawyer, we'll strongly advise it," said Joe McConkey, one of Legal Aids' coordinators. Ifstudents are in any kind of trouble, or have a question regarding some matter, Legal Aids will inform them on the course of action that should be taken. Legal Aids can also give students an idea how a certainjudge will react to a particular issue, and familiarize an individual with all the hassles of court processing. According to McConkey, most cases handled by Legal Aids are misdemeanors, but "we get everything." Shoplifting,, possession of alcohol, drug-busts, contract disputes, divorces, and housing hassles are just a few examples. As now established, Western's Legal Aids has been running for 11 months, andreceives its funds from the student body. Legal Aids is managed on a volunteer basis. The Legal Aidsoffice is located in VU 217, and services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students seekingadvice can call the Crisis Clinic at 734-7271, and ask for Legal Aids, or call the VU office at 676-3450. m CttWUM- WtSTtRN s t f ISR Wif/flt/it/iiii,, IP JR# / M I £ l i i i i i i i i VMS?

Through the carefulapplication of psychological principles, hard work and thirsty rats, they can teach those miniatureminions of manly munificence the fine art of playing basketball." And quite well, one might add. Imagine,if you will, Big Lew, a rat of decidedly diminutive proportions compared to the original bearer of thatappellation. Bedecked in a blue jersey with a white "W", for obvious symbolic reasons, emblazoned onthe back, he carries a plastic practice golf ball down the court, raises himself on his hind legs and dunks the ball through an orange juice can with a relish that only a similarly thirsty rat about to be rewardedwith water would appreciate. Now imagine another rat, female, but not the least bit superficially inferior,who has been accursed with a red jersey bearing the letter "C", likewise chosen for its symbolism.Unable to withstand the ruthless competition of her foe, she crouches in a corner, gone helplesslyneurotic. Big Lew is the sole remaining basketball-playing rat in captivity in the basement of Miller Hall,and quite possibly the only one in the world. He and his opponent, who died, were the most recent pairof eight rats trained by Christopher Taylor's psychology class in motivation. How does one go aboutmaking these rodents stars of the maples? As Taylor wrote in his instructions to his students: "It is just a chance occurrence, a quirk of fate, a random combination of All-American genes? No! Ail-American rats don't just happen—they are made, not born." "Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice is the only way: early tobed, early to rise, cut out wine, women and song, and watch that diet. The advantages of rat food andwater can't be over-emphasized." Now rats don't naturally have a great desire to pick up a ball and toss itthrough a hoop. They do, however, have a somewhat highly developed desire to drink water. The student-trainers deprived the rats of water and began to shape the rats behavior by rewarding those actions thatbrought a rat closer and closer to throwing a ball through a can. The rats had to learn to touch the ball tobe rewarded, then pick it up, carry it to the can, rise up on their hind legs and drop it through the hoop,before they would get any water. Necessity is the mother of more than invention; in two weeks of twoone-half hour training periods a day, the rats could get their water every time. Having determined how one would train an All-American, a haunting question remains: what would motivate a man to dream up aplan like this? "Skinner had pigeons that play ping-pong," said Taylor, "and I wondered what rats coulddo. I thought of teaching them chess with three or four pieces but decided on something athletic." Taylor used his idea in his motivation class for four quarters. "I wanted the students to observe animal behaviorand try to shape it," Taylor said. "We are very short on space, equipment and animals so this was sort of a cheap way of doing it." Athletic rats are not a novel idea, one California college holds a rat Olympicsevery year. Several schools train rats to climb ropes, broad and high jump and race there. Training therats was remarkably successful, Taylor said, considering how many different people were training eachrat. The rats were able to do everything their trainers wanted them to do, but then the trainers didn'texpect the rats to dribble. The rats may have surprised themselves. Once a rat had made a basket, itmade four or five more before they would take their water. One rat even developed a hook shot of sorts.ACTION tackles drugs, poverty, pollution By BILL DIETRICH University Year for ACTION is in action now with 443 volunteers from 11 schools throughout the country working with government agencies that dealwith problems such as crime, drug addiction, poverty, or pollution. Western produced They will work for ayear on the federally funded program. ACTION moves beyond past volunteer programs. For the first timeit enables students to receive college credit for their volunteer service. It joins the resources of both thecommunity and college. And it provides a new level of contact between the college and the people. "Thestudent is a mobilizer, not just rendering service," Drake said in an interview as he explained thestudents* jobs. "Theoretically the agency should be better off when the student leaves than when hecame." ' lt; The student is to organize the resources in the community to work on the project, not justwork on it himself. The work is hard. In addition to a 30 to 40 hour work week, a student is expected todo extensive studying. For his effort he can receive up to 45 credits for the year and a monthly stipend of $150 to $190. He pays for his tuition and living expenses with that money. Western students are working throughout Washington in 55 government agencies. They include mental health centers, probationcenters, crisis clinics, Indian reservations, environmental agencies, alcoholism centers, free schools, and communes. Six more colleges will join the national program in January. Western is looking foradditional student volunteers to begin work that month. Students in the program, should be upperdivision or graduate students who have been admitted to Western. Many of this year's group are transferstudents from community colleges. Financial need was one criteria in choosing which of the 200applicants would serve. Nearly half are enrolled in psychology or sociology-anthropology. The studentshad a choice in which agency they would be placed with. Nearly all were granted their first choice. At the beginning of the quarter, students were matched with their agency and worked there for three weeks tolearn how the agency operated and who had local-power. With these basic realities the students met atCamp Casey on Whidbey Island for a week to turn their original operating plan into something practical.Now they are on the job again. It costs the government about $6,000 for each student volunteer. Thiscovers his stipend, training, program administrative costs, and $2,500 to the college to cover itsadministrative costs. About 40 Western faculty are involved in the program to aid the student in theacademic side of his work. The money has so far come from VISTA and the Peace Corps. If the programis a success, direct federal funding is expected. Western was chosen over several elite schools for theprogram, including Harvard, Cornell, and Dartmouth. Drake explained that, "We picked ourselves." Drake hopes to see the program grow. It is a chance for Western to help both communities and its ownstudents. ... ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, November 19, 1971 Western Front 7 Photo by KEN RITCHIE Miller Hall hers, he said, would look through the basket beneath after dunking the ball to make sure I gone through and one reachedunderneath ulled it through after he had shot, le tale of the neurotic rat is a sad one. nee it takes two rats to have a game, one was d at random from each pair to be the Western the other to represent Central.All four rn rats learned to play.

Counselors facing backlog of problem By PAM HICKS Originally Western'scounseling center was intended to be a place for students to come with their frustrations and problems.Now the center is backed up with students who must wait a week, and possibly three to four weeks atthe end of the quarter, for an appointment. "What we are really set up for are everyday problems, notcrisis situations," Dr. Nugent, the head of the center said. The center is also involved in consultationswith residence halls, deans, student and faculty committees, health services and in placement andtraining within the psychology department. Training involves interns that work Photo by JIM THOMSONDespite apartment living trend FRANK NUGENT closely with the psychologists in counseling and clinical problems. Such training is "very unusual in the country," Dr. Nugent said. Modified encounter andtherapy groups are a part of the services offered at the center. "These group sessions are for studentswho have difficulty in their interaction with others," Dr. Nugent said. "Group therapy helps a student todevelop skills in working within a group effectively." Individualism is stressed within these groups whichinvolve 8 to 10 students. The center has started four groups this quarter. According to Dr. Nugentsomeone will see a student immediately if they "call and are desperate." Emergency cases are seen byan intake psychologist who determines the need of such a student. Students are referred to the clinicand sometimes to t h e hospital if they need medication and "cannot handle themselves and need further help," Dr. Nugent said. Four hours a week the counseling center holds psychiatric consultations with arepresentative from the Bellingham and Whatcom County Mental Health Services about such cases andothers. Students are referred to the clinic by residence hall directors and aides, the crisis clinic, one ofthe deans or by simply calling or stopping in. Students who think their problem is not urgent must waitfor an opening with a counselor, an intern or within a group session. "We are unhappy about this waiting list," Nugent said. Dr. Nugent stressed the need for more students to come in with such problems andalso the fact that all consultations are strictly confidential no matter who asks to see a student's file.Saga executive sees continuing need for service l Despite the recent trend toward student apartmentliving, Saga executive Vince Gallagher believes that there will always be a demand for some kind of acontract food service at Western. He discounts the idea of a student run co-op because the personnelturnover would be too great. Gallagher admitted that the trend towards apartments will, "Probably growbigger than it is now." But he pointed out that Saga is adjusting to the trend by opening a delicatessen in Buchanan towers, by baking bread to sell to apartment students, and by going to greater pains to please students, such as opening health food lines. "If we were bad, and did a lousy job and didn't give a shitabout the kids—we wouldn't be here," Gallagher said Saga Foods, the corporation that runs all the foodservices on campus (with the exception of the Fairhaven coffee shop and the vending machines) will bepaid $ 1.08 million this year by a housing contract to feed the Western students holding meal tickets.That figure is about a fifth of the Housing and Dining Committee's budget and about a, third of the revenue Housing and Dining receives from room and board payments. Saga's profit from the money varies fromyear to year. Limitations on profit taking are imposed by the college so that neither Saga nor any otherfood service can make too much profit. And as Saga is hired on a yearly contract it must performsatisfactorily to have its contract renewed by the Housing and Dining Committees. If Saga earns a profitgreater than eight per cent on the money it is paid, a third of the excess profit is fed back into housing. Ifit earns more than 11 per cent, two thirds of the money is fed back into housing. „ ' The menu thatstudents eat from is made up on a national basis by a staff of dieticians. All the colleges Saga serves eat from the same menu, but individual cafeterias are given great leeway in changing parts of the menu. Itmay also vary between co-ed and all-male or all-female schools, and with regional areas and preferences. The type of service given is determined by the contract. Western uses the cheaper cafeteria style ofserving. Some colleges choose family style with big bowls of food at each table. Others choose to havewaiters, as in a restaurant. The recently requested health food lines have proved popular, Gallagher said,, adding that health food costs Saga more and that all meal card holders are sharing the cost. "None ofthe changes we've made at Fairhaven are things we had to do," Gallagher commented. Saga has attimes been accused of throwing too much food away, but Gallagher sees the amount as very small incomparison to the number of meals served. Most left-overs are frozen for later use. Light House Mission,Inc., 504 West Holly, collects much of Saga's paper for recycling. The food service would also like torecycle its bottles and cans, but so far has been unable to. Huxley college had to turn Saga recyclingrequests away, Gallagher said, because the amount of garbage was too great. Many of Saga'semployees are students. Most earn the minimum wage of $1.60 an hour. The student managers earn$1.75 an hour and are given their meals free. Even Gallagher will admit that at times, Saga's farebecomes monotonous, saying "we get tired of serving it." ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Friday, November-19, 1971 CRISIS CLINIC 734- 7271 SKI GARIBALDI TRIP TOGARIBALDI-DEC. 29 THRU JAN. 2 LODGING-LIFTS-BREAKFAST LIVE BANDS-GIANT NEW YEARPARTY $68.00 676-4435 THERE WILL BE MORE TRIPS THIS SPRING WE MUST HAVE DEPOSITSAS SOON AS POSSIBLE $25 Blue Spruce Laundromat 1920 KING ST. NEXT TO McDONALD'SDRIVE-IN BONUS CARDS-11TH LOAD OF WASH FREE Academic Council okays private businessprogram If given the go-ahead by President Flora, Business and Technology students at Western willmove into the field of private enterprise next year. In a proposal submitted to the Academic CouncilTuesday by Sam Porter, a professor in the Technology Department, the students in the combineddepartments would design and build a product-so far not decided upon-for eventual Dubhc sale. Theclass, called Education Enterprise, will be offered next year for three quarters with six credits per quarter. Innovative Programs Committee, part of the Academic Council, approved $11,850 to cover the cost fortwo faculty members and to set up the program. Once the program is set up it will follow modernbusiness procedures, with the students starting from scratch. First, the students will conduct marketresearch to find out what product would be best suited to the area, then they will design and test theproduct, followed by a financial analysis of proposals and decide how to bring about manufacturing andselling it. Next, students will have to find an off-campus space and make a plant lay out. After that theywill have to get the equipment and materials needed. Finally, the operation will be put into use whenstudents do the packaging and delivering. The last steps in the class will be when students look thewhole thing over at the end of the third quarter and give the class an evaluation followed by a liquidation of assets, if any. In other council business, a proposal to fund Arts and Lectures symposiums wasapproved. This move was made to help take the load off Continuing Studies and other departments which have been sponsoring the symposiums in the past. Sinking tiles cause Sodden Valley in L-2 By KENRITCHIE Workmen from the Physical Plant have been searching for a clogged missing sewer around the north wall of Lecture Hall 2 for the past several days. Excavation began exactly where blueprintsshowed a four inch drain tile was supposed to be. Excavation had to continue in a southerly direction forabout seven feet before the drainline was found. This tile carries all of the roof rain runoff from lecturehalls 2, 3 and 4. Since the clay tile was laid ten years ago the peat soil around it has settled and brokenthe line in several places. Spokesmen in the Physical Plant office believed the barrier to pedestrian traffic would be removed by today. They are planning now to dig around the north and east side of the lecturehalls and lay a different line to remove the storm water which has caused some damage to the stage inLecture Hall 2. The spokesmen also noted that the line that was broken by settling ground was laid bythe Eiford Construction Co,of Bellingham, in 1961. Mr. Eiford is presently trying to dissuade the city ofBellingham from condemning property he owns for a sewage plant. An expert testifying for Mr. Eifordduring the condemnation proceedings said that the property at Post Point is composed of peat and itmight lead to severe settling problems if any construction takes place on it. ....... :;«sBsf?ill^^"•"•: Sewer searchers seek sinking sewer in soggy slop. Photo by KEN RITCHIE Handicappedstudents at Western helped by adaptation of buildings By STEVE GARVEY There is no written policy at Western on the recruitment and admission of handicapped students and special services for physicallyhandicapped students are very limited. Western is able to serve the increasing numbers of handicappedstudents. According to Mary Robinson, assistant dean of students, whose office handles the problems of handicapped students. As more of the facilities are adapted for use and others installed, the school canexpect more handicapped students as its-reputation becomes known. No one is sure about the exactnumber of handicapped students. Dean Robinson is aware of thirteen blind students, but there are nofigures on the semi-ambulatory handicapped. "We get many letters from the parents of handicappedstudents requesting information about buildings and facilities," she said. Western is complying with thestate codes that require all new and remodeled state buildings to conform to guidelines requiringbuildings to be safe and accessible to the blind, physically handicapped and elderly. . Those guidelinesinclude ramps, handrails, on-grade access, special bathrooms, widened entrances and if necessary,elevators. For blind students, getting to classes and around campus is not the major problem; manycome to Western a few weeks before the fall quarter and learn their way around. The school does notprovide any guides for the blind but would arrange for help if a student needed it. Several years ago, araised dot guide was begun, but new construction made it obsolete before it was completed. Of moreconcern to the blind student is how to study A room has been set aside in the Viking Union for their use.It has a tape recorder donated by the Northwest Foundation for the Blind and a record player. A brailletypewriter is available from the Foundation if Western requests it. Books, tapes and records can beordered through Seattle. . Blind students often employ their own tutors and readers through the stateVocational Rehabilitation program. Faculty wives and community women contribute-time to read to heblind also. Any student who needs and wants instruction in swimming or special exercises, can contactthe PE Department for individual assistance. "We are aware of things that have to be done, said BobAegerter, campus architect. "We are moving to a decision as to which are more important: lighting,ramps on curbs or repairs in (ji/|p WJ1 IKS "These projects will help more than just the handicapped.You really can't divide the benefit for life-safety, bicycles or the handicapped. One improvement plannedfor the immediate future is a ramp to the first floor of College Hall where the speech and hearing facilitiesare located. Long range planning takes into consideration the handicapped students that.may have touse the south campus when it is developed. Ramps and elevators have been included to provide thehandicapped access to the new section. ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, November 19, 1971 Western Front 9 Amendments to draft law effective soon By JOHNBREWINGTON Changes in the Selective Service System are expected to become effective in earlyDecember. The changes will supplement amendments to the Selective Service Act recently signed intolaw by the President. The major change affecting Western students is in II-S deferments. Undergraduate students not enrolled on a full-time basis or not making satisfactory progress toward a baccalaureatedegree during the regular 1970-71 academic year will not qualify for II-S deferments. The regulations willalso set similar criteria for students in junior colleges, trade and technical schools, and apprenticeshipprograms. A new classification, I-H, has been established as an administrative holding category. Men in this category will not be considered for induction unless r e c l a s s i f i e d I-A. The classificationpertains to those men above the lottery cut-off number who will be placed in and remain in I-H for theirperiod of prime exposure to the draft. The long list of changes basically includes: -changing of thestudent deferment regulations. -exemptions for divinity students until 35 years of age except for thosestudents not entering the ministry and not pursuing full time instruction. —a uniform national call sothat men with the same lottery number will be called at the same time. —a classification of IV-G during peacetime for surviving and sole surviving sons. —changes in the personal a p p e a r a n c eregulations pertaining to time allowed, w i t n e s s e s , and written statements to the board. —thirtydays notice, instead of ten, to appear for induction. - a change in the registration procedure to allow 30days before and after the 18th birthday of a man to register. —abolition of classification I-Y for re-examination. —a change from 30 to 15 days to request a personal appearance and/or appeal. -abolition of classification V-A for those no longer subject to military service and inactivation of thosepertinent files. -abolition of Government Appeals Agents. —making possession of a draft card nolonger mandatory after military service, with certain exceptions. - a change so that veterans will berequired to register with their local boards after active duty only if they had not registered prior to entry or active duty in the military. - a change in immigrant and non-immigrant requirements for military service. -changes in age requirements for appointments and service on the local and appeals boards (aminimum age of 18 to 30 years for appointment, a limit of 20 years service, and a maximum age limit of65 years.) More information on these changes' may be obtained either from local Selective Serviceboards or from Draft Counseling in VU218. CampUS briefS China and the UN discussion Have yourappointment? According to the registrar's office a large number of students have not picked up theiradvance registration appointments. "We are really getting concerned about the problem we would face if2,000 students failed to keep their advance registration appointments," Registrar William O'Neil said. This year the advance registration appointments were not mailed to students due to mailing costs. Studentswho had not yet picked up their appointments were asked to do so immediately. Grant-in-aid available A$750 grant-in-aid is available through Graduate Women in Science to any woman holding a degree from arecognized institute of higher learning. She must demonstrate high ability-and promise in research in oneof the mathematical, physical, or biological sciences. The grant, which may not exceed one year, can be applied either directly to research or to course work relevant to the research program. Although there isno discrimination because of race, nationality, creed, or marital status, special consideration will be givento applicants 35 years of age or older. Further information and application forms can be obtained from Sr. Mary O'Rourke, Ph.D., Saint Mary College, Leavenworth, Kansas, 66048. Applications and credentialsare due Feb. 1, 1972, and award announcements will be made by April. Parents voted tax relief By avote of 56 to 27 the U.S. Senate passed a bill last Monday to grant tax relief to parents of collegestudents. The bill would permit parents with income below $25,000 a year to subtract from taxes owedthe government $325 for each dependent child they send to college or trade school. The vote on the billcame only minutes after the defeat of a •proposed tax relief for people who live at or below the povertylevel. Opponents, led by Sen. Russell gt;B. Long, D-La., said the plan represented a subsidy fromtaxpayers too poor to send their children to college for those wealthy enough to do so. Others arguedcolleges would only raise their tuition, leaving parents no better off than before.

The purpose of the center, the only one in the Pacific Northwest, is the acquisition and organization of materials for an integrated study of the region. The center, directly responsible to the dean of Western, was created in June by Western's administration. The center will be housed in the new wing of the Wilson Library. Two local historicalcollections, those of Galen Biery and the late Percival Jeffcott, form the nucleus of a research archives.A series of taped interviews covering Sen. Warren Magnusson's early political career was presented tothe center by KVOS TV. The center has also acquired copies of tapes on the Indian settlement ofWashington and British Columbia recorded by the late Oliver Wells of Chilliwack, B.C. The center alsoexpects to acquire collections of Pacific Northwest transportation records, material on Point Robertsassembled Manfred Vernon of the political science department and local records compiled by the lateHoward Buswell. Two continuing projects have been initiated by the center. One project, under thedirection of Ronald DeLorme of the history department is an oral history dealing with various topics oflocal and regional history. The other project, coordinated by Scott with the help of Galen Biery, is avideo-tape program recording the history of selected industries and other activities of the PacificNorthwest. The center is now planning, as a long-term project, the compilation of a working inventory ofthe public records of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. The center is administered by adirector, James Scott, of the geography department and an executive committee composed of membersof four social science departments and the Wilson Library. In addition to the faculty committee, anadvisory board comprised of interested persons is now being formed. State Sen. Frank Atwood, LudKramer, Secretary of State of Washington, and Stan Jeffcott, Whatcom County Commissioner, are a fewof those who have signified their willingness to serve on the board. Persons interested in using materialsin the collection or in contributing archival items should consult Scott in the geography department.Dean claims Western leading education field WILLIAM BULTMANN Western is one of a dozen or soinnovative colleges in the country, according to William A. Bultmann, dean of Western. Western's focuson undergraduate education and its readiness to experiment have put it years ahead of current trends inlarger institutions, Bultmann said. In an interview he made these points: —more can be done at asmaller college than at larger, more impersonal colleges and universities. - t h e staff, faculty andstudents interact more at Western than at most larger colleges. -interaction leads to a healthyexchange of ideas and methods between the different departments. —the creation of cluster collegessuch as Fairhaven, Huxley and the College of Ethnic Studies shows concern for relevancy. ALSO--SURPRISE SEATTLE 3ANDJJJ TICKETS AT PUGET SOUND $2 ADVANCE 2,50DOOR FESTIVALSEATING Bultmann said Western's Board of Trustees is not the stodgy politician type found at mostother colleges, but that it is receptive to ideas from students as well as from staff and faculty. Anotherfactor in establishing W e s t e r n ' s leadership as an undergraduate centered college has been asuccession of innovative college presidents that "have percolated ideas and concepts right on downthroughout the college," Bultmann said. When asked about such concepts as the new Evergreen StateCollege, Bultmann said that many of its ideas were taken from Fairhaven. "Evergreen is away from theorthodox and leans more toward individualized, student-designed programs and is refreshing to Westernbecause it keeps institutions like ours on our toes." Search for two continues The search continued this week for Danny L. ~Vaara, and Cathy Kristopherson, both Western students, missing and presumeddrowned in Lake Whatcom while canoeing on the lake early last week. Chuck Page, campus securityofficer, said that the Sheriff's Department is still on the case, while he has followed all available leads oncampus. Al Kristopherson, Miss K r i s t o p h e r s o n ' s father, expressed thanks to all students whovolunteered and worked ithe search. He gave special thanks to John L. Servais of Fairhaven, who spear-headed the student force when Page was working on campus.

NSA, according to AS President TodSundquist, was supposedly in existence to better coordinate student political activities and movements.

AstroTurf By KENT SHERWOOD With possible national honors awaiting, Western'sfootball squad will journey to Vancouver, B.C. tomorrow night for their final scheduled game of the year,with Simon Fraser University. The game will be played on the AstroTurf field of Empire Stadium on theExposition fair grounds in Vancouver. Western, with a 7-2 season record and the Evergreen Conferencechampionship already in hand, has a slight chance of post-season play if the Viks can leave theCanadian city with win number eight. The Vikings could be under consideration as one of the NAIA's toptwo Western United States teams to compete in the NAIA tournament. Two teams from west of theMississippi River will meet early in December, while two teams from east of the river will also meet. Thetwo winners will then meet for the national title. "We have not been contacted as yet," said William A.Tomaras, chairman of men's physical education and Western athletic director. "But it would be a greatthing." On whether or not Western would send the gridders if chosen, Tomaras said he "thinks we would, as the gate receipts for the game would probably pay the expenses and we might even be able to profitfrom such a game." But before the Viks can even think of post-season play, they must defeat a strongClansman team from SFU. Simon Fraser is 5-3 for the year and ranked fourth in the Northwest. Westernis rated number two behind Puget Sound. The Clan has beaten Western for the last two years, with lastseason's game being a 7-0 cliffhanging SFU win at Civic Stadium. Simon Fraser is led by quarterbackDave Syme. Syme is an able field general who is a definite offensive- threat whether he is throwing orrunning. Syme ranked 26th in the national NAIA statistics in total offense. He has also led his team to a16th position in team total offense. The Vikings rank 28th. Syme's favorite receivers are Bill MacGregor,Ross Clarkson and Glen Colwill. Colwill is also an adept ball carrier and joins with backs Jerry Simon and Lenier Haysbert to form a potent Clan running attack. SFU wins have been over Pacific (36-7), GreatFalls (34-14), Southern Oregon (21-14), Whitman (38-12) and the semi-pro Everett Ramblers (59-0).Losses have been suffered at the hands of Portland State (21-3), Oregon College (38-0) and Puget Sound (14-6). The Vikings will enter the game with their own statistical wonders. Tom Wigg is rated 16th in the NAIA in rushing, while leading Evco in both rushing and scoring. Besides the total offense mark, theViks have the 13th best passing attack in the nation. Sophomore halfback Steve Skogmo earned Evco"Back of the Week" honors for his effort in Western's 41-21 win over Whitworth. Skogmo gained 112yards in 14 carries. Quarterback Glenn Hadland moved up past Eastern Washington's Pete Glindeman in both passing and total offense categories. Tomorrow night's game will be the final game (if the NAIA bidfalls through) for 10 Viking seniors. They are Jeff Baglio, Rich Boyd, Dan Grimshaw, Hadland, IvorHoglund, Mike Knutsen, Marv Nelson, Mike Spane, Mark Venn and Lance Wilson. Kick-off time is slated for 8 p.m. ACLU sponsors art sale The Whatcom County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU) will hold a folk art sale tomorrow evening, beginning with a no-host cocktail hour.

Game time will be1:30 p.m. Wednesday evening in Seattle,.Western moved into a three-way tie for first-place when theViks battled tough Seattle U. (SU) to a 0-0 draw. The tie gave both Western and the Chieftains 16 points in the league tying the two teams with Seattle Pacific College. - Against SU the Viks found a tough,aggressive defensive team that allowed Western just 14 shots on goal the entire game. Western hadbeen averaging close to 20 shots a half going into the contest. Western's closest scoring threat camelate in the second-half. Bill Carr set up the play with a long throwin which bounced to Manfred Kuerstan.Kuerstan then booted a hard shot at the SU goal that just missed hitting the outside bar of the goal. Theball then ricocheted out to Greg Wesselius who booted another shot at the goal, but Wesselius's shotwent wide. While SU's defense played a strong game, Western's stoppers also performed well. Full-backs Pete Frey and Rod Belinski came up with big plays as did Carr and Donn James. Several times in the second-half Carr and James cut-off possible SU scores in front of the Western goal by clearing theball out to midfield. The Vik defense, which allowed the Chieftains 12 shots on goal, also receivedexcellent play from goalie Dan Gregory. Gregory, who got his third shut-out of the season, twice came up with clutch, game-saving plays in the contest's dying moments. Sailing offered Western students cango sailing on Bellingham Bay for free every Friday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. The Viking Yacht Club hasarranged to use three large sailboats, including a 27-foot Vega and a 45-foot Chesapeake Bay oysterboat according to Cathy Critchell, a member of the club. Warm clothing and tennis • shoes arerecommended for sailing on the bay since it gets cold and wet. Critchell also recommended that students bring something warm to drink. No sailing experience is necessary as there will be an experiencedskipper and partial crew on each boat. Interested students should sign up in Viking Union 304 (theOutdoor Program room) before Thursday night of each week so arrangements can be made. If theprogram is popular enough it might be continued for the rest of the year.

V S R 10 676-0770 We didit again! For the second time this season we went 0-4 in predicting Pacific Eight games, and to makematters even worse, Oregon Tech won. Well, if you thought things were bad last weekend then wait until tomorrow. Saturday is the day when the Pacific Eight arch-rivals meet and our chances of going OAaren't bad; but then again our chances of going 4-4 aren't too remote either. In a sense things are eveneasier this weekend, because we have a 50-50 chance. According to our bookmaker-in-residence, thePacific Eight outcomes should be like this: Washington over Washington State The Huskies get a verynarrow edge, Washington injuries could decide the contest. Oregon over Oregon State State's won thelast six encounters so the Ducks are overdue. Stanford over California The Indians will play better thanthey did against San Jose State. Southern California over UCLA The Trojans are hot but you can nevertell in this rivalry. Oregon Tech shattered its chances of having a perfect season (0-9) last Saturday whenthe Owls' upset St. Mary's. St. Mary's, now, just isn't any run-of-the-mill grid squad. St. Mary's is the best club football team in California. The win was the" biggest thing that has hit Tech this season since thesnow-storm two weeks ago. This weekend Tech will face stiffer competition when the Owls travel toCheney to meet Eastern Washington. In this weekend's key Evergreen Conference battle (that is if youdon't count the Oregon Tech-Eastern clash) Western takes on Simon Fraser. A Viking win could giveWestern the top spot among the Northwest small colleges. Evergreen Conference premonitions:Western over Simon Fraser The Clansmen have beaten Western the last two years but their luck runsout tomorrow. The Vikings are clearly the "best in the Northwest." Eastern Washington over Oregon Tech Tech's one game winning streak is snapped. Oregon College over Southern Oregon The red-hot Wolvesfinish with a win over Southern. Eastern Oregon over Whitworth Should be a close contest but Eastern'sdefense will prove decisive. Lewis Clark over Central We have no real reason for picking Lewis Clark,except that this is the end of the season and we have nothing to lose. ********* Pigskin Premonitionspecial Oklahoma over Nebraska The biggest football game of the season.
