The Housing and Dining System, whose monies come from student fees andrents on dormitory rooms, picked up the tab for the purchase, initial maintenance, repair and closingfee. The total bill came to $88,500. The house becomes a part of the Housing and Dining facilities and will be maintained by Housing through College general funds. The college will pay Housing andDining an estimated $9,600 in rental fees this fiscal year. The estimated fee will include $5,310 for theinterest on the investment and $4,290 for maintenance, utilities and in- r surance. The money for thepurchase of the house came from a surplus left in the Housing account as a contingency fund for leanyears. The house is located at 1005 W. Toledo St., off Lake way Drive, with a view of the entire city andBellingham Bay. Western's Board of Trustees finalized the purchase in June without consulting others in the governance system. Former College President Charles J. Flora lived in his own residence, receiving a $500 monthly living allowance picked up by the college. The allowance was established in 1971after Flora had moved out of the official president's house and the building was converted to office andpractice rooms for the music department. The purchase is legal under Washington State Law and theBoard of Trustees resolution establishing the Housing and PRESIDENTIAL "DORM"— Housing andDining has spent $88,500 for this Bellingham house as the official residence of Western's president.Dining System which provides the mandate for the purchase. However, some have questioned theintent of the law. Although the purchase meets the legal criteria, the question then becomes one ofpropriety," Harold Braman, the State's capital budget analyst in the Office of Program Planning andFiscal Management, said. "Is the purchase ethically right?"Braman said. "I don't know, I would hopethe Housing System was getting a proper reimbursement for its investment. I would hope the students are not being had." Mrs. Ritajean Butterworth, chairman of the trustees, has said that an attempt hadbeen made to find suitable housing for Olscamp to rent or lease for more than six months withoutsuccess. The board then decided to buy the house. Old info now open to folks Saving time andeliminating frustration are goals of the parents information line instigated this year at Western; Theline is meant to be a one-stop telephone resource for parents, according to Tim Douglas of the office ofstudent affairs. Parents who have wanted information in the past were often shunted around to a number of offices before they could learn all they wanted. Information which can be released has been explicitly defined by the federal Family Rights and Privacy Act and is listed in the student records policy in thecollege catalog. A student's full name, local address and telephone number can be given out, as well ashis or her enrollment status, major and special awards. The catalog also lists college attendancedates, class, degrees awarded and current class schedule as eligible information. Other information isconsidered confiential and cannot b e\ made public without a written ' request from a student. Douglas anticipates that parents will most likely ask about college policy, procedures and programs. Forparents who want information, the number to call is 676-3729. Security may have right to arrestGOTCHA — Western security officers may be ticketing more than automobiles in the future. BYCONNIE TEDROW Western's security force may soon obtain the legal right to arrest and detain personsnot connected with the campus who commit crimes here. College President Paul J. Olscamp was given the authority to commission members of Western's security department by the Board of Trustees inAugust. But when the actual implementation of the decision will take effect is anybody's guess.Olscamp has stated he will allow "sufficient time" after fall quarter begins for "feedback" on the issue from the students. All this comes with the understanding, he said, that the Associated Student Board willhold an open forum on the subject, allowing the state's assistant attorney general to answer questionsfor the college raised by concerned students. According to Stephen Barrett, AS president, the scheduled date for the forum is Tuesday, September 30, at 3:30 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge. The proposal,according to Robert Peterson, Director of Safety and Security, "has been a long time overdue." "Wehave been operating — using the techniques of the police department to perform certain duties; namelysecuring life and property on Western's campus. But, since 1959, when the legislature gave the statecolleges the power to set up their own security systems and the college's board of trustees gave us theresponsibility, we have been acting illegally. They never gave us the legal authority to arrest," he said."Without having a commissioned police force on campus, we are merely detaining the criminals,"Peterson said, "and calling for the Bellingham Police force to come and get them. If they didn't want tostay — they could take off. If we refused to let them go — because, we have no legal authority to holdthem — they could sue the officer and the college." "In the actual administration of Safety and/'Security, there will be no change," Peterson said, echoing a statement Olscamp has maintained since he made the proposal. Peterson emphasized the point, repeatedly, that only nine officers would becommissioned (the full time staff) and that no one would carry firearms. Students working for the security department on campus would not be commissioned. Ninety per cent of Western's crimes arecommitted not by students, faculty or staff, but rather by "outsiders ripping us off," Peterson said. And itis these crimes specifically, where the need to arrest and detain is go badly needed. Olscamp, inresponding to the issue, has stated "The important thing to remember is that this involves only a fewpeople, no students, no arms and no changes in policy. There will be no more searches or seizures thanhave been practiced in the past." Somewhat perplexed over the amount of discussion on the subject,Olscamp said, "This issue is a molehill, not a mountain, and I will treat it as such." Assistant PoliceChief Spedo Southas of the Bellingham Police Department said commissioning Western's police force, "will be a real aid to the city, the security department and the college, as it is now, they have noprotection." According to security personnel on other state college police forces who have beencommissioned for some time, the commissioning brought about no changes in their policies or theirrelationship with the student population. However, both the security systems at Eastern WashingonState College and Central Washington State College permit the commissioned officers to bearweapons, a policy which will not be practiced here, according to all sources contacted. Recentlyappointed Joel Bettis, dean of Fairhaven College, said, "I think what is important is how the officershandle themselves, not what their titles are." C.W. "BUI" McDonald, dean of student affairs, said, "I hope the roll of security in the eyes of the student doesn't change because of the commissioning. Students,to a certain point, do not like authority." "When it comes out that they (security) can now arrest, it might change the students attitude." Barrett said, "Basically, at this point, the proposal looks good. My onlyconcern is that, with the commissioning, the security department doesn't become a body bent onarresting students for minor crimes and generally harassing them." ---------- Western Front - 1975 September 24 - Page 3 ---------- Wednesday, September 24,1975 Western Front- 3 Lovers out offer 5 years Another Western professorhas found himself the victim of the continuing Reduction-in-Force policy. As of December, C. NormanLavers of the English department will join the ranks of America's unemployed. Lavers lost his full-timeposition during a special session September 13, when the college's trustees voted to abolish the"summer plan." The summer plan enabled Lavers to remain at Western last year when he had beenscheduled to be cut. Under the summer plan, six professors taught three out of four quarters includingsummer quarter. Previously, they were paid for three main academic quarters and extra for summer'teaching. Nineteen out of the department's 27 faculty members had voted to abolish the temporary plan,and the trustees' action supported the English faculty's vote. Lavers will remain at Western fall quarterto teach two classes — one for the English department and one for the honors program, as well assome extension courses. He will receive two-thirds pay which, he said, is better than unemployment.Layers said when he was first notified of the loss of his position last year, he didn't start looking foremployment elsewhere because another member of the language and literature program within theEnglish department informed him he would be leaving. Lavers assumed the position would fall to him. The position in actuality went to the journalism program within the department so Lavers sought legal actionto no avail. He has been at Western for five years and would have been able to apply for tenure. He willremain in the area until he can find another job, but the future doesn't look too bright in that respect. "My mind doesn't work towards bitterness," Lavers said. He is very grateful for the support he received fromthe American Federation of Teachers Union even when he was not a member. The union will help paypart of the legal costs Lavers has incurred and is continuing to work on his behalf. Under the RIFpovisions, Lavers will be given first opportunity if a new position for which he is qualified opens up.NORMAN LAVERS Less money, more studenfs means more R IF Visions of faculty members' heads on the chopping block may be dancing in some faculty members' heads after College President PaulOlscamp announces the possibility of a third year of Reduction-In-Force (RIF) next month. Westerncould see a repeat of the last two years in which about 20 faculty members were partially or completelyterminated because of lack of funds. The 1973 legislature mandated budget cuts that forced the collegeto reduce from 498 teaching positions to 403 because of declining enrollments. The college is still tryingto recover from that blow. Rising enrollment has brought up Western's faculty allocation to 428, while451 teachers are expected to be at Western next year. The 23 extra people are being sustained throughsabbaticals, leaves, retirements and by voluntary reductions in pay by 44 faculty members. This can'tcontinue, according to Olscamp. He said in an interview two weeks ago, "You can't expect noblesacrifice forever, especially when asked of the same people. We just have 23 more bodies than positionsat the college. Olscamp' plans to present the problem to faculty members at a general faculty meetingto be called sometime in the next several weeks. He emphasized, "This is a faculty problem and will beprimarily solved by them. I do not jntend to take this issue to the All-College Senate as an agenda item.However, I expect a faculty committee will consider imput from students and others." Mark Wicholas,president of the local chapter of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), disagrees with Olscamp's analysis. He said, "I still feel it's appropriate for faculty to take salary cuts, and leaves if they want to."WashPIRG petitions to circulate by BECKY FOX An October petition drive will decide if students want to pay an extra $2 per quarter to fund a Washington Public Interest Group (WashPIRG) here. PIRGs,already established at 140 colleges and universities, are student-funded, student-controlledorganizations which research and investigate areas such as environmental protection, human rights,consumer protection and the role of corporations and government agencies. The college acts as acollector of fees for PIRG but any connection stops there. PIRGs are nonprofit, non-partisancorporations under the state laws. The activities of each PIRG are dependent solely on the students'decisions. After the petition drive, if a majority of the student body supports it, the petition will bepresented to the Board of Trustees for final approval or disapproval. Formation of WashPIRG willprobably come in the form of a statewide decision by the boards of all state colleges and universities.Organization of WashPIRG at the University of Washington is following nearly the same schedule asWestern. They will also begin their petition drive next month. Fifty-two per cent of Washington StateUniversity's student body endorsed the WashPIRG petition. Central and Eastern Washington StateColleges will begin their campaigns in If approved, WashPIRG will sign a contract with the college,keeping them both at arms length, allowing the students to become involved in public issues withoutjeopardizing the position of the institution. WashPIRG organizer Tom Heigler, a junior in PoliticalScience here, said the collection of a majority here is "almost a certainty." "In my mind, there is noproblem in the collection of support from the students," he said. "The only possible problem is with theBoard of Trustees." PIRG's largest problem met on college campuses is the question of educationalvalue. Many administrators contend it has little, while PIRG contends the educational value is high.PIRG attempts to serve as a link between theory gained in the classroom and practice as applied in "thereal world." Also, students play a major role in the presentation of WashPIRG findings before the newsmedia, legislatures and administrative agencies. Through this, PIRG literature reads, students gain a"valuable understanding of the existing channels for effecting social change." WashPIRG has beenendorsed by the House of Representatives in a resolution stating, "... that the students at our institutionsof higher education are encouraged in their effort to become involved in formulation of public policythrough The door is open for y gt;: gt;.' from ten to six Come read our book:, ;vo :/J old and new Shareour company ana some music Feel free to help yourself to coffee or tea keep in touch with thechanges comin Down at Caravan Books 207V2 E.

Import Gift ---------- Western Front - 1975 September 24 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front ' Wednesday, September 24; 1975 ' Editorial CPE rhetoric helps no one The overblownrhetoric over the master plan of the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE] is getting so deep thatmost observers are going to have to start wearing hip boots. The master plan is a 475-page monstrositythat's supposed to help program all education after high school. The report takes a few shots at somesacred cows of administrators and therefore has been universally condemned by the academichiearchy of Western's administration. On the other hand, the report also attempts to stick the council'snose into practically everything up to what type of toothpaste students should use. Once enoughstudents, administrators and faculty read the report, maybe the examples mentioned above can lessenand maybe some light can come through. A. The report puts the council in the position of being asuperboard despite all the protestations to the contrary. The mood in the state colleges is not to bedictated to by some agency in Olympia. The council's goal of coordination would probably not be helpedby a larger bureaucracy. Expansion of the powers of the Council of College Presidents might be a bettersolution than the master plan's. B. The Council was consistent with the past and chose to make sure the two universities got the important academic goodies: research and doctoral degrees. Using the rationaleof saving money, attempts by the state colleges to become more than teacher colleges have beenrepeatedly blocked by the council. Allowing the state colleges to condouct research and offer PhDsdoesn't necessarily mean they are trying to become super universities. C. The plan made arecommendation that studies be conducted to find alternatives to tenure. Alternatives to tenure should beexplored. The administrative rhetoric that tenure is about to be eliminated is vastly overblown. Let thestudies be made and may something useful will come out of them. - The best way for interested people(and this should be of interest to everyone) to cut through the smoke is to go to the hearing nextWednesday at Sehome High School at 7:30 p.m. — Dennis Ritchie ",/" PftSCWTT JL]£ILMB L "TmUKE «. TWEV'RF PI^E7lM lt;5 A3AIHST TENUfce.1 * College publicity both pro and con on recentmajor events The question is no longer where is Western located; but rather what is Western up to now? The college has generated a fair amount of publicity during the past three months. The college's newsevents have generated state-wide and national publicity. In July a film crew from KING-TV in Seattlevisited the campus to interview administrators and students concerning the purchase of the president'shouse. The Seattle Times picked up the story quoting college administrators, student leaders and aneditorial we ran during summer quarter. Although it publicized the college it was a rather negative storyconsidering that some parties questioned both the legality and the ethics of the purchase. The Times'story, which was picked up by other dailies throughout the state, was headlined "W.W.S.C.'s purchasestirs anger." But the next month's publicity of Western's Viking II and its participation in the SEED rally,generated far better press both state-wide, in the local areas along the 1,400-mile route and nationally.From Bellingham to Los Anggles the 11 experimental cars were photographed and crew membersinterviewed by local media. When the cars arrived in San Francisco toward the end of their long haul therally became a major news event, with four television stations and the city's two major newspaperscovering the event. In Los Angeles a CBS news team interviewed Michael Seal, Western faculty advisorto the Viking II project. The college should be proud of the publicity generated by Viking II and the SEED rally. But administrators should also be aware that poor decisions in the name of the college will havethe opposite effect on its public image. At times like this more thought should be given to majordecisions. — Greg Cohen Commentary, Thank you, you ore welcome soys grod to new presidentCareful with booze and pot If you happen to be one of the 2,000 new freshmen here at Western,welcome. Before you get going though, a word of advice on some pretty touchy subjects that affect usall. First of all, play it safe with the booze. Despite the loose atmosphere, a state law is just that. Thesecurity, Bellingham Police, etc., plan to enforce it. Keep dorm parties within rooms and don't walkaround with a beer in hand. Keep the noise down at parties. Sure, it's tough. But it's either that or troublefor everyone. Another biggie here is drugs on and off campus. A few things that are 'not cool' areadvertising dope parties, or deals, keeping a large amount in your room or house, buying from people you don't know well, or growing in your place. Last year two friends of mine were busted for pot when amaintenance man tipped off the B.P.D. about some pot in their room. If you're going to grow or keepanything in your room, hide it! The school has a right to enter your dorm rooms with two days notice,and occasionally without even that. Last year several other busts occurred off campus. Don't trustanyone, and be careful of what you do say. If a problem does occur, several student organizations areout to help you. The Drug Info Center will take your partaicu-lar drug (barbs, acid, mescaline, anything)and specifically analyze it. Everything is confidential and kept between you and them. Anotherorganization out to help you in case of trouble is Legal Aids. If you do get busted, they can help set youin the right direction as far as your rights, getting a lawyer, and just plain guidance. They not only dealwith busts, but small claims court, divorce, landlord hassles, and many other problems. They insist theyaren't lawyers, but they will set you in the right direction. Take carei and play it safe this year.i Just Ed.Note: The following story was sent to College President Paul Olscamp with a request that it bepublished in the Front. Editor, Western Front: I did not have a chance to meet you prior to mygraduating from Western, but Welcome. This letter is a letter of sincere thanks to all of thewonderful faculty, staff and students I met at Western during my two-year stay. Not only did I leaveWestern with a good education, but, I also left with memories of people who bent over backwards tohelp me in any way they could, secure my education. I am afraid to name names for fear of leavingsomeone out. Rodney L. Lewis WWSC Graduate, 1975 remember to use good common sense beforedoing anything involving alcohol and drugs.

Western's Viking II sports car took first place in therecent education division of the Student Engineered Economy Drive (SEED) rally, a run betweenBellingham and Los Angeles. Points were awarded for performance, emission levels and economy.Viking II scored 537 of a possible 600 points. It was only points behind a Ford Pinto with a diesel enginethat took top honors in the professional division. That car was entered by Wilcap Corp. of Torrance, Calif. In all, 11 experimental vehicles took part in the rally, including entries from American and Canadianschools, three diesel-powered cars sponsored by a California industrial firm, and a hydrogen-powered carfrom Tokyo. When final results were in, among automobiles entered by educational institutions, Viking IIplaced first in performance, second in economy and second in emissions control. Viking II, a propanepowered built-from-scratch sports car, averaged 58.15 miles per gallon. It produced 1.17 grams ofhydrocarbons per mile while its sister car, the Viking III, a Datsun Hatchback, B;210 produced .56 grams. Misfortune struck Viking II north of Klamath Falls when the car's converted Subaru engine overheatedand burned a valve. Major repairs were needed as it limped into an overnight stop on three cylinders about 10 p.m. The team immediately began delving into the vehicle's mechanical innards. By 3 a.m. the nextday, the engine was repaired and Western's small, red sports car was ready for another day on thecircuit. The idea for a rally develolped from a ctiai- VIKINGD lenge to Western by UCLA after theViking team had beaten the southern California team in an Urban Vehicle Design Contest held in Detroitin 1972. In that event, Western's Viking I finished in third place, with UCLA finishing fourth. But theSEED rally was more than just a challenge between two schools. It was an attempt to show that theAmerican consumer does not have to be content with the mileage offered by Detroit's automobiles, oreven those offered by foreign manufacturers, according to Michael Seal, faculty advisor to the Viking IIproject. All along the route local newspapers, radio and television reporters and photographers coveredthe event. In Bend, Ore., the local newspaper held up its publication in order to cover the rally in thatday's edition. In San Francisco the rally became a major news event, with four television stations and the city's two major newspapers turning out to meet the cars and teams at the Golden Gate Bridge. In LosAngeles a CBS newsteamwasonhandto film the cars and interview Viking II advisor Seal for the WalterCronkite show that evening. At each stop, the uniqueness of Viking II made it an attraction for newsphotographers and cameramen's lenses. The lettering, "Viking II—Western Washington State College"on the car has made it a rolling advertisement for the college. Textbook resale alternative being offereduntil Friday Students, with closets piled high with old textbooks which they refused to sell for thebookstore's much criticized resale values, now have an opportunity to set their own prices. Beginningyesterday and running through Friday, September 26, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. students can takepart in a book exchange program in the Viking Union Lounge sponsored by the Associated Students.The purpose of the program, dreamt-up by A.S. President Stephen Barrett, is to obtain books forrequired courses "without going through the bookstore and suffering a 25 per cent loss." Bob Anderson,student services representative and the man who is in charge of the operation said, tables,information and change will be available for those participating in the program. Tables will beprovided for those who wish to personally sell their textbooks or, if they prefer, students may enter thebooks they have available for resale on a list with the textbook's name and price and their own addressor phone number. The service is provided for those who have textbooks to sell, or for those browsing for good book buys, in an attempt to beat the cost of higher education. According to Anderson, this bookexchange will be the first of three, with the other two scheduled for winter and spring quartersrespectively. "It is expected that the first book exchange will be a moderate success and those which follow it will become more successful as more students become aware of the service," he said.Bookstore manager, George Elliot indicated if the book exchange is run properly, it would hamper theamount of money collected by the bookstore. However, he said, "I don't really feel it's going to be that effective."

With thematerialization of the College of Business and Economics and the College of Fine and Performing Arts,Jan. 1, 1976, the number of Western's cluster colleges will total five. Fall quarter will be filled withorganization and planning, and searches for deans for both cluster colleges will be initiated. HowardMitchell, .chairman of the department of economics and business who will become acting dean of theCollege of Business and Economics, has said that it is hoped a dean for the college is found early in1976. Right now there are no staff allocations to accommodate a dean, so the college will have to wait for a position to be freed. Mitchell said he expects the new dean to take office in July. Once established,the College of Business and Economics will have to operate within the budget of the department ofeconomics and business. Mitchell said he does not anticipate any more allocations this year but thatadditional ones will come in the second year. "This fall, we'll work on organizational relationshipsbetween the college (of Business and Economics) and Western, and establish admission standards,"Mitchell said. It has not yet been decided whether admission should be set at the sophomore or juniorlevel. Although most of the long-term programs are only in their planning stages, the college maydevelop its internship program and initiate off-campus night courses in business and economics open topeople in the community. "A number of people working in the community would like to do more work,build up their background or get their degrees," Mitchell said. He said there was a strong interest in thecommunity for such classes. The Continuing Studies program does not offer night classes in businessand economics. The number of students enrolled in the college will be limited by the size of thedepartment's faculty. "But I see a good potential for growth as resources are added," Mitchell said. TheCollege of Fine and Performing Arts will be in the same situation as far as planning and dean-searching.According to William Gregory, who will become acting dean in January, the cluster college will consist ofthree schools — art, drama and dance and music. He said there would be more opportunities forstudents to design their own majors and added that he hopes to have more interdiscipinary studies. Amaster of fine arts degree may also be a possibility in the future. A college of education was alsoproposed to the Board of Trustees this summer, but was not approved. The proposal will be up for re-consideration by the board this October. ''imttm*mimiwm, r — —coupon HOWARD MITCHELL —— coupon — — WHAT'S NEW FROM L'ABRI?

The 46 scientists were members of the 1975 International Geological Correlation Project, thethird such conference meeting yearly to correlate information on geological studies on the earth'sresources and changing climate. "We study glaciers not politics," Valdimir Sibrava, director of theCzechoslovakian Geological Survey and chairman of this year's project said. "We do not deal delicatelywith political issues at these conferences," Sibrava said, "But rather with the facts as we find them."The geologists came from North America and Europe. The project is commissioned and funded by theUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNEXCO). During the first four daysof the conference members presented papers on various aspects of geological findings. The next week was devoted to field trips in Washington state and British Columbia. This year the geologists werecomparing research on past ice ages to see if there is a correlation on those events around the world.Don J. Easterbrook, chairman of Western's geology department and the local chairman for theconference, said one outcome of the conference could be the eventual determination as towhether the colder weather of the last 25 years signal a new down curve into another ice age, or whether it is a short term dip in a general warming trend. In one paper presented at the conference, VaclavBucha of Czechoslovakia found that the earth's magnetic field affects the weather a*nd that shifts inthe geomagnetic poles account for changes in the world's climate. Bucha found a correlation betweenthe intensity of geomagnetic disturbances over Canada and the weather over Central Europe.Permanent lower pressures over the geomagnetic pole and the permanently increased temperatures in Central Europe correspond nearly to permanently increased geomagnetic activity between November1974 and March 1975, he said. Man's ability to change the magnetic field to influence the weatherwould have devastating effects on the world, he said. Bucha concluded that "the tentative outline of thepossibilities of improving climate and weather is very rough and the procedures involved will have to betested also from other aspects and developed in detail with a view to the possible consequences ofhuman intervention, as well as the most effective means of creating conditions which would affect theweather only in the positive sense for peaceful purposes." The results of this year's conference areexpected to be completed by next year's meeting which is scheduled to be held in West Germany.The data on climatic, glacial and other geological phenomena is being pieced together over a ten-yearperiod. Then scientists may be able to understand better whether or not the earth is returning to anotherice age, a course which could dramatically affect food production. Canada emerges from U.S. shadow;enters its own powerful limelight by TIM JOHNSON Canadian-American differences were tossed about at Western recently, as speakers from both countries looked at Canada's changing role in American affairs. One speaker termed it as Canada's rise from "partnership to power." The symposium was part of a fiveday conference September 15-19 on Man, Government and the Sea, but focused more on Canada'sgrowing influence rather than on the body of water off our coasts. As chairman of the Canadiandelegation and a member of the Canadian House of Commons, Robert Wenman spoke withoutreservation about the slanted "partnership" between the two countries. Wenman said the past relationbetween the U.S. and Canada has been that of "big brother, little brother," with Canada being the "littlebrother." "It has been a role of dependency and not a partnership," Wenman said. He spoke of U.S.domination in Canadian affairs and about the American assumption that Canada would go along withanything it said. "Canada is ending this special relationship with the U.S." Wenman said. "Thedependency is shifting; Canada is starting to flex its muscles." He said America needs what Canadahas. And he made it clear that Canada is no longer prepared to settle for the role of "little brother."Canada is beginning to mature," Wenman said. He said this growth has caused tension between thetwo countries, but urged the U.S. to adopt a policy of tolerance while Canada goes through its growingpains. But America is beginning to feel the growing pains of its neighbor to the north. Price increases onsuch raw materials as natural gas and timber have been felt by American consumers. "Canada is through trading for beads," Wenman said. With its wealth of resources, Canada has the raw materials the worldwants and needs. "You can't expect Canada to sell to other countries at the same price she sells toCanadian citizens. It's time the U.S. realized that Canada is going to sell at the price Canada wants."Although Wenman strongly advocated a stronger Canadian position, he also spoke in favor of American-Canadian cooperation. Wenman said he understands the feelings of the American people. He waseducated in part in American universities, including Western. He is also a taxpayer in Bellingham andeven drinks water piped in from the U.S. at his home across the border from Blaine. (Ironically Wenmanis also one of the leading spokesmen opposing the export of water to the U.S.). ' Wenman said hestrongly seeks a more favorable understanding between the peoples of the two countries. He said frictionduring growth should be tolerated. He asked his American counterparts to remember the words inscribed on the peace arch at the border, which states that we are "children of a common mother." Gradegripes? Recourse offered If your history prof tells you your grade depends solely on two midterms and afinal (which you passed with flying colors) and then gives you a D for lack of class participation, there ismore you can do than just have an Oly. The Student Academic Grievance Committee offers arecourse for students who have gripes about a specific grade, standards for grading, or about anaction which "adversely affects the student's academic standing." An outline of the procedureconcerning academic gripes is available in the Student Affairs office in Old Main 430. The procedureemphasizes thatthe first step is to thoroughly discuss the matter with the instructor involved. If astudent doesn't receive satisfactory results the next step is to appeal to the department head for adecision. This decision can again be appealed to the Board of Academic Grievances. This is a five-member board appointed each fall with two members who are students. Tim Douglas, associate dean of students, said the board tries to resolve differences informally if at all possible. He said takinggrievances directly to the board for decision developed needless animosity between faculty members. Douglas said about 12 cases came before the board spring quarter and three or four of those casesresulted in decisions favoring students. If a student isn't sure whether their case is good enough tobring to the board they can get assistance from the student affairs office. In a case which does notinvolve grades or grading standards, students can obtain help from the Academic Informaton Center,also located in Old Main 430. CAPITOL MUSIC 102. N.

LOUIS ---------- Western Front - 1975 September 24 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Wednesday, September 24,1975 Where is your higher education goin by DENNISRITCHIE High school seniors in the next six years may face a vastly different set of educational choicesif a master plan currently under consideration by the state Council for Postsecondary Education (CPE) is adopted. The council, formerly the Council on Higher Education, authorized in June a 475-page draft ofthe plan be circulated throughout the state this summer and fall. Hearings in 20 cities began in August to promote public input before the final draft is expected to be approved by the council in December. Therecommendations would then be presented to the state legislature in January. A hearing is scheduled at7:30 p.m. on Oct. 1 at the Little Theater at Sehome High School here. The plan makes some majorrecommendations in education as well as authorizing a large number of studies that could lead to evengreater changes. Among the major points the council staff recommends: , 1 The three older statecolleges — Western, Central and Eastern — become regional universities. 2 Formation of regionaladvisory councils to coordinate educational programs in each of five areas. 3.. The University ofWashington and Washington State University be the only institutions to offer doctoral programs. 4~State supported basic research be conducted principally by the two existing universities. 5 Tuition andfees should be higher for upper division students than lower division. 6 Elimination of non-resident fees for a four-year trial period to British Columbia citizens who want to attend Western. 7 Each state collegeand university conduct a study of alternatives to supplement academic tenure. a The cost of new studenthousing be paid for by users of the faculties and not by all students as is the case now. 9 Studies bemade examining the possibility of shortening baccalaureate programs to three years, also including astudy of the feasibility of developing a joint 12th grade-college freshman year program. Many of theassumptions upon which the plan was based are derived from population studies of what enrollment islikely to be. These studies have pointed towards a dip in enrollments around the early part of the nextdecade. The plan predicts the state colleges will feel the brunt of any enrollment decline. Vocationalopportunities are explored extensively in the plan. Along with this, much emphasis is placed on programs offering specific job opportunities after graduation. Studies were authorized to examine the jobpossibilities in such fields as communications and computer programming to see if there is an"oversupply" of graduates. Regional Universities and Councils The proposal to make the state collegesinto regional universities is not a new idea. The council staff came up with a similar recommendationseveral years ago, stirring up a strong protest. A bill to rename the state colleges as universities received little support in the state legislature this year. Many ENNEN's THRIFTWAY YOGURT DARIGOLD 5/$1.00 ALL FLAVORS 8 ounce cartons only HOLLY AND INDIAN STORE HOURS MON-SAT 9-9 SUN10-7 legislators expressed fears that making the institutions into universities would cause them to ask for more money to fund expensive degree and research programs usually associated with universities.Reaction by state college administrators has varied according to how they perceive the designation ofregional university. That is, some support the idea if it means each college should try to serve itsimmediate area. However, if intended to restrict which programs a given college can offer, the proposal ismet with a lot of opposition. The regional advisory council proposal is seen as increasing coordinationbetween colleges, universities, community colleges and vocational schools in a given area. PhDprograms The issue of whether or not state colleges should be allowed to offer doctoral degrees has been a sore point for Western. In 1969, Western became the only state college authorized by the legislatureto offer a PhD. After several years of planning, Western presented its plan for a PhD in schoolpsychology in December only to have the council recommend disapproval. The reasons cited for thedisapproval included an earlier roles and missions statement by council staff members saying it wasn'tnecessary for state colleges to offer the PhD, and estimates of a high cost for the program. Although thecouncil is purely an advisory body, the state legislature appeared reluctant to override the council onspecific degree programs, particularly when large sums of mon.ey could be saved. In this master plan,the council staff noted that employment prospects of degree graduates are becoming dimmer. Statecollege research cut The plan's recommendation that state research not directly related to instruction orto applied research be conducted by the two universities could have grave effects on the state colleges.The plan also recommends the two universities be the principal state-supported academic researchagencies. These recommendations mean the state colleges would be limited to research that has apractical use immediately apparent. Basic research, which is usually theoretical, would not be conducted very extensively at state colleges. Applied research would probably be limited also. Western could beaffected more than the other state colleges because it has the biggest research budget. It has budgeted$561,000 in state-funded research and $690,000 in federally-funded projects. Part of the rationale of theplan is the historical pattern of research. It has shown the two universities to have the most extensiveprograms for research. By way of comparison with Western, the UW is budgeted for $4.26 million in state funds for research. The effect on Western could be drastic on the faculty. Faculty research is a majorcriteria for the awarding of tenure and a prohibition or reduction of research possibilities could conceivably cause a deterioration of faculty.

Shortened degreeprograms Because of the high cost of college as well as documented repetition between courses takenby high school seniors and college freshmen the council plan recommends a study be made to see ifhigh school students can start earning college credit while still in high school. Other approaches such as credit by examination, advanced admission and year-round college attendance were noted aspossibilities of shortening time needed for completion of baccalaureate degrees. Another staffrecommendation could have an upward effect on student grade points. The plan recommends institutionsstudy adoption of forgiveness policies which would allow students to drop their poorest quarter fromcalculation of grade points. Adoption of the Plan If the council adopts the plans in December, almostcertainly with modification, many of the recommendations will then pass to the state legislature inJanuary. The legislature will examine the recommendations and studies called for by the plan. It is notcertain if the legislature will examine the plan as a whole or on a piecemeal basis. The plan calls for two-year evaluations of the plan and its effects, with regular provisions for modification. A similar master planfor the period after 1982 is called for. Administrators, CPE staff dispute merits by DENNIS RITCHIE Onthe whole, the master plan under consideration by the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) isgiven as warm a welcome here as the bubonic plague. The relationship between Western administratorsand council staff has never really been cozy and this report has made relations even frostier. Western'snew college president, Paul Olscamp, has made it abundantly clear he is extremely unhappy over thereport. He has been in the forefront of college officials to publicly denounce the plan. The council's newexecutive coordinator, Patrick Callan, has been vocal in defending much of the report. He came to thecouncil after the draft had been circulated and has stated he doesn't fear the controversy generated asmuch as he fears inaccurate information that may be produced. In his criticism, Olscamp was quiteexplicit in saying he was at odds with the council staff and not the council itself. Olscamp's criticismcentered on what role the council sees for itself in making decisions about education, particularly incolleges' internal affairs. Olscamp elaborated, "The general tone of the plan suggests they (the councilstaff) want to be the controlling factor in many decisions that affect us. For example, therecommendations on baccalaureate degrees are tantamount to giving them veto authority over any newprogram." William Chance, council deputy coordinator of planning and research, disputed that saying,"There's no way I can argue with that kind of statement. We don't review a degree if it's just arestructuring. If it's a new program, we want to review it as we have had to for the past five years." BothOlscamp and Goltz questioned the direction of the report's request for information. The plan calls for much data on employment possibilities of certain program areas. Olscamp noted, "The general tone is towards judging programs on the basis of quantatative data such as the number of students and the number ofdollars." Goltz added, "This appears to be the engineering of society's wants: they will evaluate course on the basis of job output. This report could effectively challenge justification for programs such as foreignlanguage, art and music." A very sore point for college officials is the plan's recommendation that basicand applied research be primarily conducted by the two universities. Both Olscamp and Goltz said thatrecommendation could cause Western to lose over $1 million in research. Director of the Bureau forFaculty Research, Jane Clark, said the college presently has $100,000 to $150,000 in research grants.The college has asked for grants that could total over $1 million. Olscamp emphasized, "This couldcause problems with getting quality into our faculty. If you have rotten faculty you have a rotten school."Along the same line- were the statements concerning the recommendation that only the two universitiesbe allowed to offer doctoral degrees. Western presented a plan for a PhD in school psychology inDecember and was rebuffed by the council. Olscamp attacked the recommendation saying, "The councilstates that it wants to protect the 'distinctiveness of institutions' and yet wants to take away the PhD andresearch. To say that PhD authority and research would make us a threat to the UW and WSU isludicrous on its face." He continued. "I think there's a tendency to put people in neat little boxes for neatlittle boxes' sake." Chance disagreed with the criticism saying he didn't see any need for the statecolleges to offer PhDs. He noted, "Statistics gathered by the Chronicle on Higher Education show thedemand for PhD programs to be lessening. Doctorate programs are well-supported and well funded.These things are damn expensive." One point that is likely to draw criticism from almost all collegeadministrators is the number of studies the plan calls for. Olscamp estimated that the report calls for 85studies. The main bone of contention is the cost of conducting the studies. Olscamp complained, "Some of the staff will have to be diverted from what they're already doing. Realistically, the council is arecommending body whose recommendations cannot be politically ignored, but I don't think I should haveto pay for getting that information for them. I don't have the administrative staff to do all that." Callandisputed that reasoning, "The money comes from no separate appropriations for state institutions. Itcomes from a part of management responsibilities. If we failed to provide studies, we will lost moreteachers." As a legislator, Goltz said he didn't dunk the legislature would approve all the studies, whichhe said would run into the millions of dollars. All the dispute about the report will be on public display at a hearing next Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Little Theater at Sehome High School.

Minority programs offered Minority students coming to Western's campus can find a' numberof ongoing programs to make their stay rewarding and beneficial. Most of the minority groups present at Western have established themselves at Western under a growing list of organizations includingthe American Indian Student union, the Asian Student Union, tht E^ck Student Union and MEChA(Movi-mento Estudiantii Chicane De Aztlan). In addition, a college of Ethnic Studies exists topreserve and promote minority cultures and histories. These classes are stressed to all studentsintending to pursue careers in education, social work and urban studies programs. One of the mostbeneficial services to minority students is a specialized tutoring system maintained and paid for through the minority affairs office. The program sets up a one-to-one working arrangement with those whoneed assistance, many times enabling the student to understand where his study problems lie.Student files boring, can be kept closed If you're looking for excitement, don't look in your personalfile at the office of student affairs. Students' personal files contain relevant and unsecret data like highschool and college transcripts, applications to Western and academic per-formance. and activitiesrecords. Other data in the files which is less public but necessarily known to the student includesinformation on personal interviews and disciplinary proceedings. A student has full access to his orher file in the student affairs office, but files generated by students in the placement office may not beopen to the student if the student chooses to keep them "closed." The placement center, under theFamily-Education Protection Act, now gives eligible people the option to establish either confidential oropen reference files. If a student chooses a confidential file, only prospective employers and in somecases graduate schools see the files. * If the student chooses an open file, he or she can see the filefollowing a written request. A student may request the college to withhold information which is normallypublic by law. This includes address and telephone number as well as other items listed in the studentrecords policy in the college catalog. Vice president for student affairs C. W. "Bill" McDonald saidWestern's policy on the files was already close to what the new law demanded when the law went intoeffect last year. by MARSHALL BROWN Money. Given the intellect and desire to go to college, thebucks to do it is the third requirement. And unless your family can give it to you or you work summerson the Alaska pipeline, you are very likely to be in need of financial aid. Last year, 1,546 Westernstudents shared nearly $3.2 million in assistance. The Financial Aids office expects the number ofstudents this year to be closer to 1,800. Aid comes in many forms. Outright grants, loans, scholarshipsand full or part-time jobs. All aid is based on need as established by confidential statements and most iseither supplied or guaranteed by the federal government. The job of allocating the aid falls on theFinancial Aid office, directed by Dick Coward. "Our biggest problem is ^coordinating the different types ofaid with students' needs," Coward said. "Everyone wants a grant, naturally, but that just can't bedone." The two major sources of financial aid are the National Direct Student Loan program (NDSL) andthe Basic Educational Opportunity Grant program (BEOG). NDSL loans are granted by the Financial Aids office from federal funds. BEOG grants are determined by the federal Office of Education's establishinga student eligibility index number based on a student's demonstrated need. The amount of a NDSL loanto be repaid can be lowered, if the student goes into teaching. BEOG grants .are limited to $1400 for non-resident students and $1100 for resident students. According to Coward, loans make up 50 to 60 percent of. additional aid funding above and beyond grants, which seldom cover the estimated $2,550average cost of an academic year at Western. If your grant is insufficient and you don't want to go intodebt, part-time work is another alternative many students opt for. On-campus jobs can be obtainedthrough the work-study program administered by the Financial Aids office, or by brown nosing your profsto do their typing or whatever. Work-study jobs pay from $2 to $3.20 an hour. An effort is made to get astudent a job that ties in with both his or her abilities, available time, and academic interests. Off-campus jobs can be found with the aid of the Associated Students Job Coordination office on the secondfloor of the Viking Union. Most jobs are in the area of babysitting, short-order cooking, bartending and the like. If you've depleted the above resources and are still short of funds, there are two short term type ofloans available from the Financial Aid office. For small, immediate emergencies, a $25 loan can be madeform the Blunt-Wilkerson Memorial Fund. The loan must be repaid within 30 days. A total of $600 (two$300 loans) can be borrowed from the WWSC Institutional Loan program. Due to an increase in thenumber of defaults on these loans during recent quarters, screening has been tightened. The student'sneed and his or her ability to repay the loan within the six months limit are closely checked. All loanshave a six per cent per year interest rate. In addition to the financial aid sources that have been brieflycovered here, there are numerous supplemental government and private funds available. Details and thesmall mountain of necessary forms can be obtained from the Financial Aid office in Old Main 120G. "We try to spread the 'goodies' fairly," Aid Director Coward said!

A total of 34,323 jobs were run this year, compared with 30,315 last year. The biggest portionof the gain was in computer science class projects, up 31 per cent to 18,613 jobs. The largestpercentage gain was by jobs run for Bellingham Sehome and Mt. Baker High School programmingclasses. These picked up 87 per cent, although the, number of jobs increased to only 305. Collegeadministration jobs also increased markedly. They were up 17 per cent, with 4,096 jobs run this pastspring. The increase in academic processing at the end of spring term caused at times a 12 hour waitto get a job back after it was submitted. Normal turnaround is about two hours. Administrationprocessing was not affected by this. Those jobs are run separately, at night. To help alleviate futureturnaround problems, the center is in the midst of facility expansion.

Thirsk took over the Continuing Education job on Sept. 1, replacingPeter Pere who left for Tennessee to become vice chancellor of Tennessee's State University andCommunity College System. Thirsk expects to go back to his previous job as Associate Registrar nextJuly 1. The Continuing Education program is mostly an off-campus program offering classes to adultsand others who wouldn't normally be going to school. The majority of students are taking the courses forcertification, recertifica-tion or retraining of a skill. These reasons are more diversified than in the past,according to Thirsk. "Inthepast.thebulkof the students were from education trying to get their Masters orfifth year certificates." Thirsk said. Now, private industry and state, federal and city governments aremaking requests for classes. The job of Continuing Education is to examine the requests to see if they're valid and then work with people in the academic departments to arrange the course. Each course hasto. be approved by a department chairman. Besides offering classes, Continuing Education alsocoordinates workshops, conferences and independent studies courses. Because of the increasingdemand for adult education courses, expansion could be imminent for Western. Western already hasservice BOB THIRSK Fairhaven s new dean philosophical A change in the direction of energies ofFairhaven cluster college is one of the priorities of its new dean, Joe Bettis. Bettis, who replaced KenFreeman as dean on August 15, rapidly becomes philisophical about Fairhaven and problems confronting higher education. "For the six year of its existence, Fairhaven has had to use a variety of tactics simplyto protect itself from people who weren't enthusiastic about its innovative efforts. They've beensuccessful and the tactics are no longer necessary. "The energy used at keeping the wolves at bayshould now be used for careful and critical evaluation of what we're actually doing," Bettis said. Bettis,who comes from the University of Nebraska in Omaha and the University of Alabama, has a relaxedmanner to go along with an accent that betrays his Midwestern background. Clad in sneakers and ajean outfit, Bettis is not bashful in his praise of Fairhaven and its purpose. "Fairhaven is one of thebrightest spots of education in the country. The percentage of good schools in the United States is verysmall. The lack of research is discouraging. This is the result of the unresolved question of what is. thefunction of undergraduate education in our society. Is it a place to stop over to keep the job market under control? Is it a place where free and independent individuals study or become skilled in some ability? Isit a place where information is collected and disseminated? JOE BETTIS "The exciting thing aboutFairhaven is not that it has found the answer but has attempted to raise these questions and keep at thecenter of dialogue what education is," he said. Fairhaven is doing this by "de-emphasizing scholastic oracademic disciplines and emphasizing scientific discipline in the classical sense by paying attentionto what one is trying to find out about." While trying to do this, Fairhaven should anticipate opposition,Bettis said. "It would be a really sad day if we were free from criticism. Anytime you're pushing onfrontiers you irritate some people." Wilson library •• treasure or travesty? by BECKY FOX Do theone way streets in this town confuse you? Well you ain't seen nothin yet until you begin walking through Wilson Library and a tail begins protruding from your posterior and you realize it's all a psychologyexperiment to see which rat can make it through the maze first. Don't despair too quickly however. Grab a reference librarian or two. It is their job to help students to use the library. Besides, they havenothing better to do after being trapped in there for years searching for an exit. And just because someof the books are cataloged according to the Dewey decimal system and some are cataloged by Libraryof Congress is no excuse for frustration or confusion; not for those of us in "higher education." Butdon't take that phrase too seriously, because if you go in in THAT condition you will NEVER get out.But seriously, some call Wilson Library a treasure, some call it a travesty, but nearly everyone agrees it is complicated. With five stores, one basement and 450,000 volumes, nothing is simple. And atleast it's never boring. Seriously, the "Wilson library jokes" are unfounded according to the director,Robert Lawyer. The main thing, he said, is that with a staff of 14 librarians, 35 classified staff and theequivalent of 11 full time student employes, there is no excuse for leaving the library without firsthaving added some wisdom to your college head. "The damn student has to take the attitude that Tam a customer here to be served and this institution has to do that, " Lawyer said. There are classesthat can help with orientation to Wilson Library such as Library Science 125. But, Lawyer said, twohours with a reference librarian can make a student adept, if not expert, at using the library. The bookscataloged by the Dewey Decimal system are old and that system is in the process of being phased out.No books have been added to that system for ten years, Lawyer said, and the cost of converting theentire volume of Dewey books to the Library of Congress is $8.50. The library hours are 7:45 a.m. to 11p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to10 p.m. Sunday. centers in Bellevue and Seattle and could expand to east of the Cascade Mountains.However, expansion eastward could create problems with other state colleges. Thirsk said other colleges might resent expansion into their territory unless Western was offering a program which they didn't havethe ability to offer. "We're just not going to go in an area and start a program. We're going to check withthe area school and seek its cooperation by comparing needs and resources." Western may also facecompetition from schools outside of this state. Pepperdine and other institutions have operations inSeattle. Thirsk said the best way to meet that competition is to discover a need for a particular programbefore anyone else does. For the immediate future, Thirsk sees some potential on-campus problemsdeveloping because of a policy passed late last school year. That is, any student who pays the $169tuition and fees is eligible to register, for free, for any on-campus course offered by ContinuingEducation. This could cause problems as Continuing Education is a self-sustaining operation whichsurvives on money generated by the courses. One alternative, according to Thirsk, would be to set amandatory minimum number of full paying students for each course before other students are admitted. r Novo In Paperback from Simon Schuster...

Her first book, "Tickets for a Prayer Wheel," is an excursion into a poet's mind.It was followed in 1974 by her first prose work, "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek," another insight titled towardnatural history, which in turn won for her the Pulitzer Prize. And for a quarter, at least, Western'sstudents can take a poetry class offered by Dillard entitled "Advanced Poetry Writing," where herinstruction methods Arill emphasize encouragement, not "dumping on people," as she calls it. "Youhave to teach people to write through encouragement and to keep others from attacking somebody'ssome little thing. There are systems to teach people to be happier in their world and those are the ones Iwant to use." Dillard, a tall, slim blonde with blue eyes that magically pale in the sunlight, danced fromone topic to another while showing off her Lummi Island home on an impulsive, one-woman tour. Her cartraveled down a narrow roadway, dipped and dove until the scenery broke into open water with the SanJuan Islands in the distance. Tall towers spread outward in fine lines above the sea, cast silhouettesdownward. "Reef netters," Dillar began. "That's what they're called. The fishermen stand on those towers all day long with these protective jlaps over their eyes, blinders I think. They stare at the water, watchingfor salmon. When the salmon enter the nets the fishermen cry out — they have a special cry — andthe boats pull up the nets. "I used to think, when I first saw them, they were beautiful. Then someonesaid, "I think they look sinister," and I could see that too. Now I think they're kind of eerie —'I am soeasily swayed by other people's thinking." Further along she pointed out a bald eagle's nest, coming to a full halt in the narrow road. She threw open her door and said, leaning downward, "can you see it, there,it's wonder- •ui. they nested here all summer, every day you could see them if you drove by, perchedand watching." A few moments of quiet study and once again the old car lumbered forward. Furtheralong a red fan-tailed hawk pursued by two black crows lit atop a dying, wind scarred tree. Another stop. Another flurry of information and the car pulled forward. After a brief tour of the island she turned the carinto a gravel driveway, coming to rest before an older farmhouse and quickly stepped out, drumming herfeet up the steps and into the kitchen. "Sit at the table, pull up a chair. Coffee? Do you want somecoffee?" She began calling her cats. "I am so proud of them," she explained. "They used to be barncats, but I've adopted them. Oh, lt; where are they; I want you to see them, too." Dillard, now 30,graduated from Hollins College in Roanoke, Va., got her masters and then, "just stayed around, writing,reading books, playing softball and all that," she said. She taught one semester there — a poetry-fiction seminar — and "loved it." After that, she entered what she laughingly described as her "povertyprogram," and undertook painting for two years. Then, "at about 23 or 241 began writing poetry," and atthe end of four years published her first book. As a child, Dillard said she loved to go to the park andwatch things growing. But as she grew older, she lost that curiosity affair with nature and settled onboys. It wasn't until later, living in the rolling hills of Virginia that the old drive came back — the interestin natural history. "I began reading constantly, taking long walks in the Appalachian Mountains, studyingeverything around me and taking notes on what I saw, read and felt." Then one day, after reading, "one too many nature books I said, hey, I can do that." And she did. One yoar later, "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" was published. Dillard says she will stay at Western for "as long as they will have me, and maybelonger." She loves Lummi Island and claims, "they couldn't pry me out of here."

Back East there's the blue-blood, the royalty,the old families who've always been there, and always will. I like it here, it's refreshing." She has plans,although still in the jelling process, of writing a third book, "probably," she said, "of collected essaysincluding wilderness stuff, personal anecdotes, heavily burdened mysticisms, poetry; you know, theusual song and dance, fan slappin' affair," she grinned.

B.C., to Portland, Ore. It could; if nobody cared. ; In an effort to determinetheir own future, local citizens have created a "Goals for Bellingham" committee to determine and plan for the goals desired by the people of this city. According to Huxley professor Jack M. Everitt, committeehead, this is the first time an American city as small as Bellingham has done this. Larger cities such asDallas, Tex., and Seattle, and states such as Georgia and Washington have done it. The committee isnot the traditional "blue ribbon" committee made of distinguished citizens with little public input. It is asteering committee with neighborhood groups throughout the city providing the ideas and helping draft the goals. Among things considered for the year 2000 are: land use, education, recreation, employmentbase and environmental qualities. Goals for Bellingham is sponsored by the city planning commissionand Western. The committee began its work in September 1974 and has just completed itsinvestigations. It will issue a report in November or December. Everitt said the citizens: —want growthto occur slowly in a planned manner. They want control and regulation of population and industry.—Have not determined yet whether they want an economy based on heavy industry or agriculture.—Want more emphasis on recreation programs for the area. An immediate benefit of the committeewas Bellingham securing a $500,000 grant from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for therenovation of the letter street area of Bellingham. "We even had officials from HUD telling us this waspartly responsible for Bellingham winning the grant," Everitt said. Everitt and Western faculty memberGeorge Drake proposed the idea of forming the committee when they saw how successful it had been for other communities and states. They co-authored the grant and submitted the proposal to the Office ofDevelopment in Olympia. It was funded with services and funds to be matched by the city and thecollege. "Believe me, I grew up on the East Coast and have seen what uncontrolled growth can do,"Everitt said. "It's a mess. I hope planning can prevent this happening to Bellingham." The committee hasreceived an endorsement from the city council, the mayor and city planning. The committee ran intosome early resistance from segments of the business community who boycotted the committee. "Nowthat they can see the benefits they are showing more interest," Everitt said. About 30 Western andHuxley students have assisted the committee. Credit where it 't due by BOB SPEED Criminal chargeshave been- filed against Bellingham's alternative newspaper, the Northwest Passage, for publishing anarticle allegedly telling how the public can make and use false credit card numbers. The biweeklypublication, represented by attorney John Anderson, pleaded innocent to a gross misdemeanor in August in Whatcom County Superior Court, and a three-day trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 27. The case isexpected by both Anderson and County Prosecuting Attorney David McEachran to confrontConstitutional questions of First Amendment guarantees of freedom of the press. The Passage is a well-known publication at Western and in Bellingham in general, though many people would prefer to ignoreits existence. The newspaper is the only surviving "underground" newspaper in Washington and hasoperated continuously on a shoestring budget since 1969. The current charges are a serious threat to the paper's future due to legal costs, and the Passage staff is asking for donations and planning fund-raising benefits. Defense against the criminal charge will cost more than a guilty plea would have. Maximumsentence for a gross misdemeanor is $1,000 and a year in jail. Since the Passage was charged as acorporation, members of the staff are not liable to jail sentence, but a fine of up to the maximum could be assessed. Legal costs of an innocent plea could easily double that figure, while costs of an appealwould skyrocket. McEachran filed criminal charges against the Passage after two Bellingham policedetectives with a search warrant entered the newspaper offices at 1000 Harris St. July 30, and seized117 copies of the March 17-30 "Gardening and Sixth Anniversary" issue containing the article inquestion. The action was taken after a complaint from Pacific Northwest Bell, a subsidiary of AmericanTelephone and Telegraph Company. The charge stems from a state law passed last year prohibitingpublication of information describing now to .make long-distance credit card calls. The charge is the firstfiled as a result of the law. The article allegedly violating that law was reprinted from an' original published in a Madison, Wisconsin, alternative newspaper, "Takeover." Both the defense attorney and theprosecuting attorney expect the case to develop into a test of the state law's constitutionality. "Thenotion of charging a newspaper with a crime for what it has printed is pretty unusual," Anderson said. Heexplained that not many constitutional laws exist which limit the broad First Amendment press freedom,mentioning the old Alien and Sedition Acts of the First World War which were used against elements ofthe press until declared unconstitutional. He also cited the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case ofNew York Times vs. Sullivan, which vastly broadened press freedoms, and the Pentagon Papers case,which again underscored press freedoms. Anderson said he didn't know if Wisconsin had a law similarto Washington's, or whether the Madison Takeover might have legal problems from its article. Such lawsare common, he said, citing Michigan as an example. In Michigan, Anderson said, a case was triedwhich he called a direct precedent for the Passage case. In July, the Detroit "Fifth Estate" was tried forpublishing the circuitry of so-called black boxes which can be used to make free long-distance calls bybypassing "Ma Bell's" own circuits. "The case is identical and the same issues apply," Anderson said.The trial ended in a ten-to-two hung jury in favor of the defendent. A statement by Michelle Celarier in theSept. 9-30 Passage summed up the Passage's position: "Like so many charged criminally in thissociety, our financial situation is such that we can scarcely afford to either pay the fine or to pay alawyer to defend us."

A "funding agreement" last year, reached between the associated students, depart-mentally related (music, speech, drama andP.E.) and the health center, gave the center $1.60 from each student's tuition for physicians. Thissolution worked, but it was generated with the understanding this money would not be usurped fromthe same budget again this year. Unfortunately, there were no such policies made over last year'sduration. And this year, the same negotiating team refused to give up the same $1.60 to the healthcenter. In an attempt to quell the disagreement over funding, C.W. "Bill" McDonald, dean of student affairs and likewise responsible for the health center's management, requested $19,000 fromhousing and dining to replenish AS and depart-mentally related budgets. And according to JackSmith, associate director of the VU, word was received of this funding on September 18. The money,Smith said, eases the financial burden under which the AS has been operating, but by no meansremedies it. Meanwhile, the health center, too, according to McDon-and, is assured of getting itsrequested $24,000, although no one seems to know where the money is coming from. McDonald saidthe final decision will be made by the business manager, Don Cole; himself, and PresidentOlscamp, within a week.

Progress has marched on and eaten up the neighborhoodgrocer who exists only on television now selling Johnny and his mother on "Crest." Most sit by andwatch it happen and return from the grocery stores with aching backs and "where have the good-old days gone?" stories. But five years ago, a few people decided, it was about time to take food from the "bighands" to the "peoples hands." And the Communiy Cooperative Food Store is showing those days aren't completely gone. Complete with the hand-painted front window, the community spirit is alive and well at1000 Harris in Fairhaven. Stocking mainly grains, fruits and produce, the Co-op is a vegetarian storeattempting to feature organic and locally grown food for not only believable prices, but some personalfeeling. It is a non-profit corporation, totally self-supporting in which everyone who cares to can have asay in its operation. There is no fee for membership, only a commitment to help keep the Co-op going.Members work three hours per month entitling them to a 20 per cent mark-up from the wholesale price ofthe food goods. But shopping and involvement are not restricted to members. Non-member shopperspay a 30 per cent mark-up from wholesale prices and can contribute to decision making at the businessmeetings. Each Wednesday at noon the members, the five paid staff members and anyone who wantsto get together to take care of the necessary plans and decisions. The five paid staff members receive$100 a month to carry out those decisions. The members spend their three "fee" hours packaging,cashiering, building and general maintenance. Most of the food comes from Seattle wholesalers via the Co-op's own trucks although they try to get all the food they can locally. The food is marked with thewholesalers prices. At the counter, the cashiers add an additional 30 per cent for non-members and 20per cent for members. Food stamps are accepted. The Co-op works with a program called "Food^Conspiracy" which is a group of neighbors who band together so thay can order large quantities . of food wholesale. They are also connected with members of the cooperative dorm in Fairhaven. Many collegestudents get involved with the Co-op and as the college population fluctuates seasonally, so does interest in the Co-op. Business declines slightly in the summer as the city drains its students. But interest hasnever declined to a point where it becomes a threat. "There is an occasional lack of support," GeneRietzke said, "but there is usually enough people around to carry the store through those times." Rietzke has worked for the food co-op off and on for over a year. Like any business, the fluctuations in interestand business are unpredictable and expected. A large corporation has more cushion against thedowntrends, a smaller establishment's cusion diminishes as the large establishments grow. "SomeMondays we'll do four or five hundred dollars and another Monday only $100," Rietzke said. "But you cannever really know why." But profit isn't the goal, only continuation. The money goes for expenses:trucking, paid staff members. Last year, the Co-op came out $4.50 in the hole for the twelve months.Lately, a profit has shown up. ffl I A l i I A 1 LCity State Zip • Maine residents please add 5%sales tax.

The college-owned dormitories, apartments and mobile homes filled up faster this year than ever before. BuJ off-campus housing is the tightest of all. "You may find people are looking for a specific kind of house," Registrar Eugene Omey said. "In the past, a goodnumber of students were willing to suffer through all kinds of things. "Now, with the price of gas and foodgoing up, I think students are less willing to suffer through." Omey shrugged off speculation that theenrollment for fall quarter has greatly increased over last year. He said he was "under firm directive" not to give out a guess as to the current enrollment figures, but he was "pretty sure it'll be over last fall."Campus Housing Director Pete Coy said the college-owned apartments "filled up the day they were made available." Coy said he thinks students are tiding it cheaper to live on campus. "I suspect the (off-campus) rates have gone up, along with utility prices, food bills,"Coy said. "Our food service this year ismore of a plus than it has been in the past. We're able to buy in much larger quantities. "Twice as manypeople returned to on-campus housing than in the past. And our new applications were up also. Newstudents traditionally live on campus." But if campus housing is so full, why aren't there more places tolive off campus? "A lot of the-big-old'-houses that used to be rentals have been sold," Kay Burke, student activities director, said. "With the freeze on property in Canada, a lot of Canadians are buying downhere. "A lot of older people are buying old houses and fixings them up. New houses are too expensive,and the feeling is that they just aren't built as well." She said construction of places such as the FredMeyer Shopping Center also cut down on the number of houses available. "And the housing lobby hasvery effectively kept any kind of low-cost housing from being built in Bellingham, except for the aged,"Burke said. In a random sample of 20 real estate companies in town last week, only two had houses orapartments for rent. And in both cases, the housing was either out in the sticks, or very expensive. "Itlooks pretty tough," Dwight Jeppson of Northland Realtors said. "I manage a couple rentals. I can rentthem out the first day they're available — regardless of price. "I'm renting one three-bedroom place for$300 a month. It has waterfront, but I'd never pay that much for it. We still get about 15 calls a day,without ads in the paper." Joanne Miller of Fairhaven Realty said, "Ordinarily we have quite a few rentalsup until Sept. 15. This year they were all gone by Sept. 1." Asked about the rental situation here, Darrell Hinote of Stark Real Estate replied, "There isn't any. We have 130 rentals, and they're all full. "We hadover 20 calls in one three-hour period last week, and that was just with one guy answering the phone."Ken Shore of Western's off-campus housing office said, "It's crazy. There are people all over the placelooking for a place to live." Prospective renters jammed into the Bellingham Herald Building, to catcheach day's edition as it came off the presses. "Everywhere you looked, there were people in phonebooths with the paper," Doug Huttenstein said. / "Jesus, I've been looking for three weeks, at maybe 15houses," Steve Fucher said. "Half of them were dumps, and the others were full." So if you still haven'tfound a place, take heart. Space is still available for women at the YWCA. And according to the Housing Office, there's still room for students on campus. All you need is a little olive oil to squeeze your way in. 'I got the shakey flat landlady blues' Ed. note: The names and particulars of the incident described inthe following article have been changed slightly to protect the individuals involved. b y B O B S P E EDThe old biddie walked in like she owned the place. She did own it, but that didn't give her any right simply to walk into the delapidated apartment which she did whether Cara was home or not. But at age 84,Mrs. Staebner didn't think anything of that. She did, after all, own the place. She wondered why Carawanted to change the lock. Mrs Staebner walked through the door, just before Cara got there to open itfor her. "Why, who are you?" the old lady chirped, her voice breaking with the age she bore with littlegrace. She looked worse than the apartment. "I'm Cara," my friend reminded her. "I live here." "Oh," theold lady said. "I didn't think I knew you." "Yes, you do, don't you remember? I was over at your houseand had tea with you just a couple months ago." Which was true. Still not sure, the old lady apologized.Cara had moved into the apartment off harden Street several months before, with another girl. Sincethen, the other girl had moved and another female roommate had come and gone, too. Currently, Cara'spartner in sharing the rent was male, and occupied the second bedroom. That was part of the reason the landlady was visiting. She had seen lumber on the porch and had called to ask what it was for. Jeff had answered the phone and innocently told her it was for a waterbed frame. Mistake Numero Uno: malevoice on phone. Mistake the Second: waterbed. My part in this drama was as an innocent bystander. Iwas staying at the house while stalking the elusive Roof Over One's Head. To date, I was mending mytent, and strongly considering a Thoreau adventure in a shed I had been offered by a Huxley professor. I was contentedly soaking in the bathtub when Mrs. Staebner arrived. I heard her barge past Cara intothe living room. "What about this waterbed?" her voice cracked like a warn-out 78 on an ancientVictrola, which was a new invention about the time Mrs. Staebner said goodbye to the bloom of youth."Where is this waterbed? I want to see it." Mrs. Staebner demanded. She pushed past Cara into Jeff'sbedroom looking for it. "Why it's on the floor!" she said, flabbergasted. "What's it doing on the floor?" she demanded in her withered voice of landed authority. Cara explained that a lot of people have beds onthe floor, just as Jeff did. "Jeff?" Mrs. Staebner jumped on the sound of the name. "An unmarried man living in the same place as an unmarried woman?" Her blood pressure was probably peaking. "Why IWon't Have It!" I lay in the tub, trying not to move as the drama unfolded, and hoping that the old ladydidn't decide to inspect the other bedroom, which bordered on the bathroom I was occupying. Mrs.Staebner again checked out the waterbed, sure it was going to burst open at any moment, flooding thehouse. "Wh-what happened to the bed that was in here?" the landlady returned to the subject at hand."There never was a bed in here," Cara answered smoothly. "There weren't beds here when we moved in.Don't you remember?" "No, I don't," Mrs. Staebner voiced loudly. Her voice was creaky, but her lungswere strong. "What about your bed?" "I sleep on a mattress on the floor," Cara said, "like a lot of people do." "You sleep on the floor?" Mrs. Staebner grasped for a sense of reality, as she rapidly becameacquainted with the generation gap. "I never heard of such a thing. Why, that's disgusting!" sheproclaimed, as if she had just gotten the Word directly from the Almighty. Mrs. Staebner stalked out the door, demanding removal of the waterbed and the man. Cara got a morning beer from the fridg, and Ibreathed a sigh of relief as I dried off and got dressed.. Cara and I laughed, wondering what would havehappened if she had walked into the bathroom. A consultation at Legal Aids informed Cara and Jeffthat Mrs. Staebner couldn't evict them as she threatened to do, but the waterbed may have to go. Whatwith all the hassle, the incessant unannounced visits from her, and offers of better arrangementselsewhere, Cara decided to move out. Jeff was a sore point to Mrs. Staebner even after she met him.because he was a "hippie" with shoulder-length hair and a beard (both well-trimmed). Legally. he couldhave challenged her and won. but he too decided the hassle wasn't worth dealing with a senile landladyfor a whole school year. Soon, he joined me on the street looking for the Elusive Roof. ---------- Western Front - 1975 September 24 - Page 18 ---------- 18" Western FnSnt Werfeesdayv Septe" m b e i - ^ l ^ ' I^Avoid housing pitfalls^ Whether you've movedinto a dump or a palace, a brief knowledge of Washington's Residential Landlord/Tenant Act of 1973 canhelp you avoid the pitfalls of damage deposit ripoff, invasion of privacy and eviction for the hell of it. TheAct defines the rights and responsibilities of both landlord and tenant. It also spells out where to go andwhat to do should problems arise. Tenant responsibilities include: paying your rent on time; conformingto all applicable federal, state and local laws; keeping the place clean; and leaving the premises in asgood condition as when the tenant moved in excepting normal wear and tear. Landlord responsibilitiesinclude: keeping the premises fit for human habitation; controlling all insects, rodents and other pests not introduced by the tenant; and providing adequate water and heating facilities, garbage cans, locks andkeys. The landlord must also maintain all structural components, keep the building in reasonablyweathertight condition, and notify the tenant immediately of any change of landlord. One trouble spot that can be avoided is the landlord who continually drops in on his tenant. Under the act, the landlord doesnot have the right to enter a tenant's dwelling without the consent of the tenant. Before entering thedwelling, the landlord must give the tenant two days notice. And the landlord's right to access extendsonly-to times that are reasonable for the tenant. The biggest problem for tenants comes at the end of theyear, when many landlords are reluctant to return damage deposits. According to the law, the landlordmust: describethe terjffig and conditions under which a* deposit may be withheld; place the deposit in abank, savings and loan institution, or licensed escrow agency, and give the tenant a receipt showingwhere the money is to be kept; return the deposit with 14 days after the tenant vacates, with a specificaccounting for any amount withheld. Copies of the landlord/tenant act can be obtained at Northwest^Washington Legal Services, 203 W. Holly, in Bellingham, 7^8680. Ilppie final note: the law prohibitsdiscrimination against anyone based on sex, marital status, race creed or national origin, but not iagainst students. So do your part, and maybe next year another \/Vestern student can discover yourheaven. Or hell. Landlords get ripped-off too by GARY JOHNSON Ken Pyeatt has been a landlord inBellingham for nine years and now rents eleven houses. If he had his way he wouldn't rent to collegestudents. Pyeatt recently sold one of the two college rentals he owned after too many years of hassleswith students. "The biggest headache is not getting the money on time," said Pyeatt. A commonoccurance among student renters is they will jam as many people into a house as there are bedrooms inorder to lower the rent but only one person is legally responsible for payment, he said. What happensfrequently is that students will stay in a house for about two weeks, decide they don't like it and moveout, leaving the person who signed the housing contract legally responsible for the rent. If that personcannot find someone else to move in or raise the money himself, then the landlord is the one who getsstung. Pyeatt said he runs into trouble if he doesn't demand the first and last month's rent in advance."If you're sure the person is honest you don't have to, but when you're not sure, you have to protectyourself," he said. Landlords get themselves into trouble, Pyeatt believes, when they try to get the mostmoney they can from a rental. "If people don't try to go for the last dollar and keep things reasonableeverything goes smooth- 1y-" Pyeatt's highest rental rate is $155 for a four bedroom house in northBellingham and the same for a two bedroom house on Lake Whatcom.

He gets them through word of mouth.Damages to his houses are minimal. The maximum repair cost per year is $50 per house. The secretgoes back to the money Pyeatt said. "People don't mind doing a few things for themselves if they thinkthey are getting a fair shake." Pyeatt learned that he couldn't be a nice guy first and a landlord second or he would get burned. A student living in a rental near campus wanted to reserve the house for the fallsince he couldn't live there that summer. He had a friend who wanted to live in the house for the summeruntil he returned. The friend was looking for a housemate he never found. Pyeatt told the friend to movebut the tenant rerfused to leave. To formally evict a tenant it takes an eviction notice and 20 daysregardless of how long the tenant has been there without paying rent. The tenant had gotten a peacebond restrain-, ing Pyeatt from touching him, but he was persuaded to leave after Pyeatt made a personal visit to remove him from the premises. "I've had it with technicalities and intellectuals," Pyeatt said.In the end Pyeatt lost $400 rent money and the person he was saving the house for decided not to movein. The lesson Pyeatt learned was simple. "If I don't get the first and last month's rent in advance, I don'twant them there," Pyeatt said. "The rental business is good but the secret is the renter," he said.•Prairie Market requires membership for shopping. Customers pay 50 cents a month for membership.There is no membership required for Mark-N-Pak. New legislation eats up foodstamp availability byDAVID CUTBffiTH Most students claimed as dependents for tax purposes by their parents will not receive food stamps this year because of a "new regulation implemented in June. This will affect a significantnumber of students who were eligible in the past. Students who are members of households receivingfood stamps will continue to receive them through the family's allocation, but not separately. When filling out an application for food stamps, the student must check whether or not he or she is being claimed as a dependent. If the answer is yes, a questionnaire is sent to the parents to verify the student's status,and the appropriate decision is made. Virgin Williams, financial supervisor of the Bellingham Office ofSocial and Health Services, said applications will be cross-checked with IRS records. Lying aboutdependency status constitutes fraud and is punishable by law, as is any false statement on theapplication, he said. Another new regulation affecting many students is that anyone receiving foodstamps at "zero purchase" (they pay nothing for them) for three consecutive months will receive a homeU.S, D E P A R T M E N T OF A C B i C U U U BE r l i f s | , FOOD COUPON DO NOT FOLD J ORSPINDLE P91179K3RA f^^pf visit by a staff member to verify eligibility. Williams said he expects thenumber of recipients to double in the next 90 days, not only because of the influx of students but alsobecause many seasonal jobs will end and unemployment in the area will go up. Applicants should makeappointments for interviews as soon as possible because the back-log will be huge. Appointments can be made at the Office of Social and Health Services, 222 Unity in Bellingham or by phone. Students should bring the following information to food stamp interviews in order to speed up the application process:—Personal identification. —Residence verification: rent receipts, statement from property owner, etc. —Identification for all members of the family. —Proof of current monthly income (Wage statement,verification of child support, Social Security, VA benefits, receipts for odd jobs, casual income, gifts,and/or loans). —Proof of payment of expenses (shelter cost receipts, medical expense receipts, childcare payment receipts). —Student identification, proof of scholarship loans, grants, financial assistance and receipts for tuition. The average interview takes 20 to 25 minutes. The interviewer will go over theapplication with the student and if eligible, the student should receive the stamps through the mail in afew days. William said all effort is made to certify a student's status for as long as possible if his or herincome for the school year is set at a fixed figure. The student should notify the office if there are anychanges in income. ---------- Western Front - 1975 September 24 - Page 19 ---------- Wednesday,: September24,1975. Western Front- 19^ New night bus service to begin on trial basis soonA special night bus run will be put into service October 1, to give Western students a free, safe form ofevening transportation. The $3600 project, funded jointly by Western and the City of Bellingham, willprovide bus service from 7 to 11 p.m., seven days a week. The run will be on a trial-basis fall quarter, tomeasure citizen response to the project. Beginning downtown at Cornwall and Magnolia, the bus willrun via the college campus to the Bellingham Mall. The bus will then make the return trip, completing the cycle every half-hour. The idea was pushed into operation by Judy Simmer, head of Bellingham's RapeRelief. She said the main reason for the run is to allow Western students, especially women, toattend evening classes and go to and from the campus without fear of being attacked. "I used to teach at Western, so I was very aware of the SCHEDULE: Terminal :00 — :05 :30 — :35 Viking Union ;10 :40 Mall :15 — :20 :45 — :50 Viking Union :25 :55 Terminal :30 :00 M\LL gt;w o Sehotne H i l l IndIan Jitmens ^Thriftway t* u State St, -(rhriftv V State Corawa wwsc Library Residence Q a°Ha gt; iHigh S t ^ U o _ _ _ Music Aud.

"Soon after I got the Rape Relief job, I got calls from several women who said they heard there was a rape a night on campus. They were afraid to go to their evening classes." The run is not only forcollege students, however. Non-students can take advantage of the service by paying the regular busfare. If the run is to be implemented on a permanent basis, it will have to be used by non-students,Simmer said. Citizen response will be measured near the end of fall quarter. "I don't believe the citywill continue to fund the project if non-students don't use it," Simmer said. "And I don't think thecollege can afford to do it alone." "I'm fascinated by the college and the city working on somethinglike this together.

Clear plastic balloon furniture is ugly, hardly useful and likewise "in."When the best furniture is acquired from Grandma's attic, what is a student to do when Grandma's atticis in Humptulips or already ransacked by relatives? One must search and seek out junk stores andgarage sales for the best buys on furniture, toasters and spatulas. Garage sales are undisputably thebest place for money-less, dish-less students to be on weekends. Having grown in popularity, they haveeven captured themselves their own little niche in the Bellingham Herald want ads, listed aftermiscellaneous for rent. Watch these, as dinner dishes can be purchased for as little as a penny a plateand a working toaster for $2. Be aware of the professional garage saler who gives them every weekend for the pursuit of profit. Go for the person who, rather than throw all that junk out, would rather sell it for real cheap to some deserving poverty stricken citizen. Some even include an "absolutely free" pile wherethose much needed mops and some more of those wooden crates can be added to the living room. Thegreatest find for garage sale bargain hunters is the furniture. Nice old comfortable chairs and couches gofor as cheap as $3, don't settle for more simply move on to. another garage sale. Here is a brief critiqueof second hand and junk stores in town recommended by interior decorators from the "Early SalvationArmy" and "downtown special" schools of thought. Pace's New and Used: With lots of kitchenappliances as the major magnet for students, this second-hand store (413 W. Holly) sits in second-handstore row, commonly known as Old Town. For gourmets, this might be a nice place to stock the barekitchen as it has an excellent selection of cast iron pots and pans from $5 to $15. It has lots of meatgrinders for $6.50. The cheapest wooden chair was $11. Not a true "junky" store, it contains mostlyantiques and restored goods not really suited to collegian pocketbooks. Martin Center: Mostly orientedtoward the better-off-than-we antique collector, this store at 403 W. Holly has a good mixture of junk tobe hunted for. Pots and pans in okay condition and lamps, but again, rather high priced for student junk. Salvation Army: The best of buys to be found here on 427 W. Holly, the serious bargain hunter shouldhang a left and descend to the "as is" department. The merchandise needs attention to be sure, but theselection is the best of Old Town and the furniture is gone but not totally out of it. Thousands of irons,millions of pots and pans and a good selection of couches, stoves and refrigerators. Even the windowscan be unbared at your humble abode with some cheap Venetian blinds as you serve your guests on 74cent trays from the Salvation Army. Light House Mission: Another place that can honestly call itself asecond hand store. No restored $500 Bentwood rockers, but true to life cheap needed items. Clothesgalore, the Mission at 909 W. Holly has an excellent selection of old couches for not-too-bad prices.This seems to be the best bet for mattresses (although garage sales often produce double beds for $10)and stuffed chairs from $8 for the liveable to $20 for the deluxe. Lots of pots and pans and dishes too.The pickings, actually, are slim for the second-hand stores; there is no St. Vincent de Paul or Goodwillthrift shops but trying the Five Center Want Ads is usually beneficial. If all else fails, rent a U-Haul andhightail it to Humptulips and Grandma's attic.

Taking over a year to prepare, the directory describes medical practices of nearly all ofWhatcom County's doctors. It was compiled by Fairhaven College faculty member Jerry Richard and sixstudents. It is the first directory of its kind published with the complete cooperation of localprofessionals. Dr. Robert L. Hamilton, Whatcom County Medical Society president, said thedirectory is the first one put out by a medical society strictly to serve the consumers. The informationwas taken from questionnaires sent out to all Whatcom County physicians in the fall of 1974. Thetoughest problem faced, Hamilton said, was in wording the questions so that doctors would not feelthere was an invasion of their professional privacy, while still supplying consumers with usefulanswers. Listed in the 108 page directory is information including fees, the physicians medicalbackground and training, office hours, if he makes house calls, billing and credit procedures, estimatedwaiting time for nonemergency appointments, plus other practice information. The doctors are listedalphabetically along with their office address, phone number and specialty. Some physicians,Richard said, objected to the publishing of their various fees, but everything considered they were"most cooperative." According to Richard, the 500 initial copies printed, which were made available tothe public by Fairhaven College and the county medical society for 25 cents, have all been mailed out topeople who ordered them early. He said more copies will be printed early next year. This will be anupdated edition, including any doctors new to Whatcom County, any adjusted rates or fees, and anindex, something the first edition did not have. Richard said the next edition will cost around a dollar per copy. "It costs that much just to print one copy," he said. We just can't subsidize this ourselves."Although all original copies of the directory have been sent out, various offices and agencies in thecounty have desk copies available for reference most any time. Some places where you can find adirectory are all local libraries, including Western's, the academic office at Fairhaven College, theWhatcom County Physician's Service, the YMCA and i the YWCA in Bellingham. / On-campus andoff-campus health helpers Feeling sick?

The planinsures students for a variety of services — medical, surgical and hospital coverage. Single studentswho take the plan pay $20 per quarter. For a student with dependents, the cost is $48 per quarter. Theplan covers a wide variety of services, including office calls, minor surgery in the doctor's office andvarious hospital benefits. Students and dependents who need care while outside Whatcom and SanJuan counties can use any licensed doctor or accredited hospital in the world. You will be reimbursed by the WCPS for your expenses, based on the local rate for identical services. To use the plan, go tothe Student Health Center located. on the ground floor of South Edens Hall.

Probably getting busted if thecity's new leash law is given the go-ahead by the Bellingham City Council. The proposal, which alsoapplies to this campus, comes up before the council within a month. It will require a dog be leashed orconfined within an enclosed yard at all times. The existing law only requires the animal to be on a leashor within voice distance and voice command of its owner. If the new law is passed, each owner mustbuy a $3 permit for any unsterilized male or female dog. If the leash law is violated, the owner receives a citation for the . violation. First offense results in a fine of $20, second offense is a fee of $30 and $50 for the third violaion. After that, the permit is revoked. Both campus security and the city can impounddogs. Security has impounded 54 dogs and 10 cats since January 1. It costs the owner $10 to get theanimal out of "jail." The new leash law proposal came out of the city's public safety committee lastwinter. Public controversy and lack of support sent it from the council chambers into a specialcommittee last spring. The committee, consisting of a veterinarian, a representative from Western,persons from the humane society and interested townspeople, modified the proposal and turned overa resolution to the council. The council approved the resolution six to one and Dennis Braddock, citycouncil president, said there weren't too many people voicing their concerns at that meeting. Now,the law is climbing out. of limbo as the city attorney's office is preparing it to come before the council.The modifications, Braddock said, are generally more restrictive and the committee has strengthenedthe original proposal.

While the particulars ofregistration and courses gradually become old-hat, the concepts of the cluster colleges may remainsomewhat vague. Western established the cluster college idea so that student-faculty relationshipswould not be jeopardized by the rapid growth of the college. Major fields of concentration, such as ethnic studies or environmental studies, are given more attention than they would if treated as a department.Cluster colleges have their own programs, requirements and degrees. A student enrolled in a clustercollege is a member of Western and is offered the use of all campus facilities just as any Westernstudent. A cluster college student is free to take any courses offered at Western and receive credit forthem. Likewise, students enrolled in Western (College of Arts and Sciences) may take any clustercollege courses, although these courses cannot fulfill any general college requirement credits. Western'scluster colleges are under the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees and Western's president, and they areconsidered divisions of Western. FAIRHAVEN PAVES THE WAY First on the list of cluster collegeswas Fairhaven College, established in 1967 as an alternative to large-scale mass education. With nofixed goals, Fairhaven has a AWARD WINNER — Built for only $28 per square foot, the NorthwestEnvironmental Studies Center is headquarters for Huxley cluster college.

The community is given strong emphasis, and their model, rather than the family, is a smallvillage. Most of Fairhaven's 600 students live in residence halls on Fairhaven's campus, south of themain campus. Keeping with the community theme, Fairhaven hosts*the Bridge Project. Aimed atshortening the gap between members of different age groups, the Bridge Project includes day carefacilities for about 50 children. It also houses 30 to 40 older adults who may participate in classes andare full members of Fairhaven. There is also an effort to draw middle-aged adults back to school, either for regular degrees or for short periods of time. Fairhaven's curriculum is informal, self-planned, liberaland designed for students who can work better in a loose, non-competitive atmosphere. Independent study is a very important part of Fairhaven's program, stressing field work in areas such as education, racerelations and environmental problems. Many students carry out their field work off-campus and evenabroad. General requirements are decided on through student-faculty consultation and evaluation.Fairhaven college starts the year out with a new dean, Joe Bettis. HUXLEY COLLEGE OFENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Founded in 1969 to focus on the human and natural environment, thecollege was named for a noted British scientist, Thomas Henry Huxley. Huxley's programs include social as well as physical sciences and centers on problems concerning man and his environment, includingenvironmental degradation, destructive land use, congestion, population size and wildlife conservation.Housed in a cement block variation, the Northwest Environmental Studies Center, Huxley is associatedwith an aquatic studies program. The water-related research and instruction facilities are used tosupplement regular curricu-lar studies. FAIRHAVEN VILLAGE — Not far from Western's campus butsufficiently isolated, Fairhaven students choose alternative education. Huxley has been involved with acity planning program called Goals for Bellingham and has presented a television show dealing withenvironmental topics of interest to the Puget Sound area. This will be Dean Ruth Weiner's second yearat the job. COLLEGE OF ETHNIC STUDIES Also established in 1969, the College of Ethnic Studies was developed in an effort to improve race relations. With time and decreasing racial troubles, the clustercollege has taken on a larger definition to include human studies and services. The college offers courses such as introduction to Black Literature, Sociology of Asian Americans and Comparative EthnicRelations. The College of Ethnic Studies is the only one of the three cluster colleges without its owncampus, although its offices are located in Edens Hall. Dean Jesse Hiraoka came to the college in 1972and assists in its quarterly publication, the Journal of Ethnic Studies. Two more cluster colleges will beadded to the list this year. In January, the College of Business and Economics and the College of FineArts will make Western's fourth and fifth cluster colleges. ?ooooo8 ooooooooooooooooooo5ooooo5•s*^, MWh aZJK oo 8 oo ANNOUNCE A MEW ADChl'oN TO Ot gt;«.

The result: mayhem. Many, but not all opportunities for intrigue,excitement and information can be found right here on campus. Generally, they are organizations whichcome under the heading and funding of the Associated Student Body, (AS). These organizations comeunder a variety of councils including services, facilities and activities which fund them from a part of eachstudent's tuition. The co-operative day care center, which allows parents with children between the agesof two to kindergarten age an immediate and inexpensive out. Parents caught up in the hectic schoolcurriculum craze can leave their children at the day care center, located at Fairhaven College, betweenthe hours of 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Fees are based on the parent's ability to pay with additional moniescoming from the AS. The only catch — parents are required to contribute some of their time to thecenter, too, thus relieving some of its financial hassles. For further information call 676-3021. The course content catalog is a brochure compiled for the student confronted with registration woes and a maze ofclasses running from Egyptian Hieroglyphics 101 to industrial management in the Ferndale area. Anyonewith any sense has no idea which classes to take — general requirements — who's heard of them?The content catalog, available at the academic information center (OM 430) is a notebook of instructor'sdescriptions and comments about the classes they offer. The Drug Information Center, (VU 221) is theplace to go when you don't know what it is you're currently consuming. Or, if you're sitting, down to adelicious meal and find a pill in your soup, contact the drug center office for free, confidential druganalysis.. In order to avoid legal problems for both you and the office, participants are asked not to bringtheir "samples" into the office with them. A special envelope will be provided in which the "unknownsubstance" may be mailed out for analysis. And, incidently, your drug will be returned. Hand-in-handtutorials is a program developed for beginning philanthropists. If you have a need to serve, to help othersless fortunate than yourselves (you're wondering who that is) VU 219 is the place to go. Housing andemployment (VU 226) is a place where, sooner or later it seems everyone shows up. If you're sandwichedinto a dorm with a monolithic roommate whose only joy in life is putting banana peelings down the John,chewing double-bubble gum pried from the woodwork or trying to get together a student interest group toconduct on-campus panty-raids, housing is the place to go. They can provide you with a listing ofvacancies both on and off campus, when you feel the urge to move. They can also assist with housinghassles, provide model contracts, condition-of-rental checklists and other materials beneficial to makeyour domestic home life happy. Suppose you're a veteran of two world wars, Vietnam and Cambodia,working your way through academic here at Western and suddenly, along comes another draft induction.Insanity, the most feasible answer, is not the most practical. Instead, run on up to the League ofCollegiate Veterans, VU 226, and lend them a cheerful little earful of your problems. If they can't summon up an answer to your dilemma, they can generally refer you through the proper channels, filling in thegaps with sound advice. Slow, which stands for Student lowdown on Western, is a weekly publicationcoming out on Wednesday, crammed full of interesting tidbits including on-campus speakers, showtimes, changes in AS policy, planning, etc. And, on top of all that, it's free. Probably one of the mostinvaluable services presented by the AS is the Legal Aids office, VU 214A. Here students running intoconflicts with landlords, police officials, drug busts and other immovable objects may find some solace.Those that man the office aren't lawyers, but they have legal info that can not only help you overcomeexisting problems, but even more wisely, avoid them. The last, but certainly not the least importantservice of the AS, is the Sex Information Center, VU 223. Here the sex enthusiast can find information on current contraceptive information, confidential assistance when tackling sex-related mental and.healthproblems, abortion referral, or simply finding a qualified physician to help you with your problem ifprofessional assistance is needed. Other organizations supported, funded, or just recognized by the ASare those under the heading of activities, meaning organizations which promote an activity in themselves,or promote activities for other people. Examples of these are various clubs, campus crusade for Christ,gay people's alliance, KUGS—FM radio station, mama Sundays — free entertainment on Fridayevenings, recreation society, student international mediation society, women's commission and theyoung socialists alliance. The third and last type of organization tacked to the growing list of ASfunctions are those coming under the heading of facilities. These include the physical operation andmaintenance of Lakewood — a place to canoe, sail, swim and picnic on Lake Whatcom; the free ofcharge Kulshan Cabin for recreation seekers and hikers; Vets find a friend on campus Hassled veteranshave a direct line to the Veterans Administration in Jeremy Stan-den, the campus VA representative.Whether it's problems about monthly benefits or questions about emergency loans, Stan-den can helpcut the red tape. Anyone who has more than 181 days of active service in the U.S. armed forces andwho received a discharge other than dishonorable is eligible for GI benefits. Veterans enrolled in college-level classes or making up a missed high school diploma receive $270 a month for full-time study. TheVA also offers money for vocational training programs, and veterans with dependents receive additionalmoney. Eligible veterans can also apply for foreign study at the college level. However, since the VAmust determine the eligibility of specific programs at foreign institutions, they must know at least twomonths in advance what the veteran is going to study and where, Standen said. The VA also offersadvance payments to get the veteran situated in his/her new surroundings. The deadline for completion of training is May 31, 1976, or 10 years from the date of the veterans discharge, whichever is later.Only 46 per cent of the 174,000 women veterans eligible have trained under the current GI Billl. Thecomparable figure for male veterans is 59 per cent. Women veterans who were enrolled under the GIBill while married, between June 1, 1966. and Oct. 24, 1972, are eligible for an additional $30 for eachmonth of enrollment if they were not paid at the rate of married veterans. The special payment is toequalize benefits with those received by married male veterans who trained under the GI Bill duringthis time. The cutoff date for filing claims for the special payment is July 1, 1976, and proof of marriagewhile in training under the GI Bill must be furnished in connection with the claim.

Counseling Center Emotional problems encountered bycollege students are no joking matter. Western's Counseling Center, in Miller Hall 262, is there to help."Our main function," said Saundra Taylor, counseling center director, "is to help students deal moreeffectively with their lives — that is, to increase their problem-solving abilities and to help them to betterdeal with academic, social and emotional pressures." The center is staffed by four women and five menwho fill five full-time counseling positions. All counselors are trained and licensed as clinicalpsychologists or social workers. They are a diverse group — old, young, short haired, long haired.Taylor stressed that the center is voluntary, free and absolutely confidential. "No one,"^ Taylor said, "caneven find out a student is even receiving counseling unless the student themself tells them." Studentsare provided individual or group counseling, usually on a once a week basis. Appointments are preferred,but the center is open Monday through Friday for walk-ins. It doesn't matter if your problem is trying toquit smoking or confusion about your sexual identity. "There are all kinds of problems that interfere withacademics," Taylor said. "If someone has a problem they think they might not be able to handle, theyshould come in to talk to us." Academic Info Academic hassles, from scheduling to selecting a majorto being sure you won't lose credit if you transfer to the U, can be handled by the people at the Academic Information Center in Old Main 430 (Student Affairs office). Directed by Tom Stewart, assistant dean ofstudents for academic affairs, the center is staffed by students hwo are para-professional academiccounselors. It will be open five days a week for 35 to 40 hours. "We're here to help students solve theiracademic problems. Help them clarify confusing rules and to avoid any inter-office shuffle," Stewart said. Students who feel existing regulations are either unnecessary or simply wrong should contact thecenter. Stewart cited the "80 per cent rule" (which said a student had to pass 80 per cent of his classesto remain at Western) as a bad rule which was changed. ; Lunch £r Dinner Mon-Sat 11:30 a.m. until9:00 p.m. Sunday 2-8 p.m. REAL GO)D FCDD Jam Session every Sunday Night Joint Effort 9:00 pmFri Sept. 26 Sat 27th $1.00 Cover Jazz Band ^ The Fairhaven Tavern Welcomes back WWSCStudents Historic old Fairhaven is Westerns extension campus HI STUDENTS w WELCOME TOBELUNGHAM / / HOOK UP TO CABLE TV FOR ONLY RESIDENTIAL ONLY OFFER GOOD THRUOCT. 10, 1975 in existing cabled areas, underground installation extra.

Two years ago, Powell and her husband,Sterling, decided they'd had enough of smog-laden Los Angeles and, after two weeks' search, concludedthat Bellingham would be' their home. They needed a change, something Powell said people don't getenough of, citing ruts as a number one example. Since Powell began dancing at age six, she's gonethrough a cycle of changes. After going to a Catholic high school for a year, and with muchencouragement from mom, she transferred to the School of Performing Arts in New York, a school withhigh popularity, many applicants and few acceptances. Almost immediately after completion of theschool, Powell, then 18 and clad in a conservatively tailored suit, hopped on a ship bound for Englandwith the rest of a dancing troupe. "It was great having my first job in England," she said. So great, infact, that on her return to New York four months later, she found family and friends waiting with greatexpectations for her future — one's that she couldn't meet for awhile.. After nine months of auditioningand no job, Powell snared a job in the Ohio summer stock. After three weeks of dancing she broke herleg, literally. So for Pat Powell it was back to New York, off with the cast and into the Broadwayproduction of Flower Drum Song as a singer and dancer. She stayed with the production starring GeneKelly and Myoshi Umeki for over three years, After getting enough of New York and realizing the time forchange had arrived, Powell packedherbagsforlosAngeles, whichwas about NO LONGER ONBROADWAY — Although Pat Powell, former Broadway dancer, has slowed down her pace after movingto Bellingham, she still dances and teaches dance, locally. lt;ftrt§ ^^titertainment COMING TOWESTERN — This quarter's concerts include, counterclockwise from top, Chuck Mangione with soloistEsther Satterfiald, who will be at Western this Sunday, Bonnie Raitt on Oct. 8, and Steve Goodman whowill appear on Friday. the same speed as New York. But it was a change. In Los Angeles, wearingshorter skirts and dancing more liberal routines, she danced her way through Bill Cosby specials, theDanny Kaye Show and the Don Ho Show, to mention just a few. But the time had come for anotherchange, and it was on to Bellingham for the Powell family. Powell hasn't performed since she came toBellingham, but she now teaches dance at grade schools and through the Northwest School-of Ballet and seems to like her shifted role. "I can get the same thrill, the same high, out of being involved," saidPowell, who is also taking ballet and belly dancing classes at the ballet school. Powell has also taughtat Western, coreo-graphing a jazz dance for 8 dancers. She says that she hopes to do more work atWestern in the future. Powell said encouragement from her mother is the main reason she stayed withdancing and succeeded. In addition to the arts, Powell has recently expanded her interests. She has agarden and has put in plenty of time canning recently. She also bakes bread, which she claims shewould not be doing if she was still living in Los Angeles. She and her husband are vegetarians, survivingon much produce from their garden. And Powell seems to be keeping the encouragement in the family. Her family will soon be acquiring a piano, and she is getting her son, Sterling, excited and prepared totake lessons. "My little Bernstein is waiting in the wings," she said. "As you get older, your eatinghabits must change. People aren't geared to growing older. By changing, it makes it easier," she said.Weekend guests: Steve Goodman, Chuck Mangione by STEVE ADAMS The Western concert scenegets underway this weekend with two completely different shows planned. On Friday, folk artist SteveGoodman appears in the Music Auditorium. Goodman is probably best known for authoring Arlo Guthrie's "City of New Orleans," hit single in 1972. Influenced to a great extent by Hank Williams and WoodyGuthrie, Steve began playing at Folk Festivals and clubs both in the U.S. and overseas during the late60s. During 1972-74, Goodman continued to perform live concerts, usually packing them in whereverhe appeared. As his fame as a concert artist rose, he released his latest album, "Jessie's Jigs and Other Favorites," which is selling strong and getting rave reviews from .critics.

The young woman wasYvonne Elliman, who at 23 has starred on Broadway, recorded three solo albums and is currently on aworld tour as part of the Eric Clapton Band. "You know, I just had too much of Superstar. I was just tooexposed to it," she said matter of factly. "I really just wanted to hear my voice on vinyl," she said. "Iwasn't ready for the whole Broadway thing." She has come a long way since her virginal cry of "I Don'tKnow How To Love Him," in Jesus Christ Superstar to her booming backup vocals for Clapton on suchsongs as "Layla" and "Let It Rain." . . Yvonne started her musical career playing piano at the age ofseven. Her father was a frustrated singer who made his daughter practice an hour and a half each day.At age 13 she started "We Folk," a four man folk group for which she played the guitar.

YVONN Magdfeli] Movie buff improves entertainment byGARY JOHNSON Did you know that Stan Laurel wrote the original scripts for Laurel and Hardy movies? That W.C. Fields was an excellent juggler? And that Bella Lugosi was really born in Transylvania? Mike Copner, new owner of the Bay St. Cinema in Belling-ham, is an endless storehouse of old time movietrivia. Copner has been an old time movie buff for as long as he can remember. "I saw "The Raven"starring Bella Lugosi when I was about eight years old," Copner said. "It scared the hell out of me." Hewas 16 years old when he bought his first movie for $60: Wide Open Faces, starring Joe E. Brown,famous for his big mouth. Copner now owns about 75 old movies, 25 feature length and 50 shorts. Hisfavorite movies are comedies and horror pictures and the majority of films he owns are by Bella Lugosiand comedian Harry Langdon. Langdon is not as well known as Charlie Chaplin, but at the highlight ofhis career (1924-26) Langdon was considered to be a superior comedian to Chaplin. Copner plans tohave a MOVIE BUFF — Mike Copner, new owner of the Bay St. Cinema rewinds one of his classic films. Lugosi film festival around Halloween and a Langdon film festival sometime this year. Since Copnertook over the Bay St. Cinema two weeks ago, the theater has undergone dramatic changes. The butt-busting folding chairs have been replaced with 87 cushioned chairs. The cardboard screen has beenreplaced with a professional screen and the acoustics are noticeably better. The prices are cheaper too. Student rates are $1.00 for evening performances seven days a week. The evening performancesinclude a classic feature film and usually two* short films. Weekend.matinees are only 50 cents forstudents. Copner attributes the renewed interest in older films to the expertise of the entertainersthemselves. "People are going back to the older film stars because they really knew how to entertain," he said.

This was especially true last year when the Viks lost four games inthe fourth quarter and ended the season with a 2-6-1 overall record. A lot of the trouble stemmed fromthe inexperience of the 1974 squad which included 22 freshmen and only 20 returning lettermen. Thatseason of hard learning may pay off this time around as sixth-year head coach Boyde Long (17-28-1)welcomes 22 returning lettermen and a bunch of newcomers, many of whom will be starting, to theViking lockerroom. They'll be young again — 54 underclassmen on a squad of 64 — and they may bea year away from a title, but Long feels he has enough talent to make it a good season. "We're a young team but we're a pretty good team," Long said. "The league will be tough, really tough, this year. "Right now it looks like OCE (Oregon College of Education) will be up there. But if we play well, we'll be right in the thick of it." To remain "in the thick of it," the Vikings will have to rely on a blend of seasonedveterans and the anticipated talent of the newcomers. If they jell, Western may see its first winningseason — or even a conference championship — in four seasons. The Offense Andy Harlin (6-1, 220)returns to anchor the offensive line at center. As a sophomore last year, Harlin made the All-Evco and NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) District I teams. He was also an honorablemention on the Little All-Northwest team. Flanking him are guards Scott Stokes (6-2,220), a returnee, and freshman Rick Brudwick 6-1,220). The line gets heftier at tackle with Jeff Herbster (6-1, 245), atransfer from Mt. Hood C.C., and Jay DeBellis (6-2, 225) filling those slots. As a defensive lineman lastyear, DeBellis was an NAIA District I honorable mention. Two lettermen are in contention for the tightend spot — Paul Mann (6-4, 210) and Mike Haerling (5-11, 195). Both are able blockers, as well asreceivers, Long said. Mann was an early season starter for the Vikings last year before injuring hishand arid missing most of the season. Haerling drew praise from Long as being "probably the bestathlete we have on the squad. He's so good that we have a problem trying to decide where to play him." He'll also see action as the monster man in some defensive situations. . Hoyt Gier, a freshman fromFerndale, appears to be a sure starter at split receiver while returnees Jeff Potter and Ron Kowalke arevying for the flanker position. Potter led the Viking receivers last year with 14 receptions for 280yards. Fullback Rick Jones is the only back who appears to have the starting nod while Bob Fenton, atransfer from Spokane Falls C.C., and Rick Vanderyacht are the top candidates for the running back spot. Vanderyacht led the Viks in rushing (355 yards) and scoring (30 points) last year but has beenbothered with a sore leg. According to Long, he has been improving and should be ready for the comingseason. Bill Mendelson returns as quarterback after leading the conference in passing yardage (835yards), but he'll be pushed for the starting role by transfer Terrill Morgan. At Los Angeles City CollegeMike Haerling hauls touchdown against the linebacker. last year, Morgan threw for 1,680 yards and 14touchdowns. Long said the offensive line may be the weakest area on the team — depth wise. Butthe first line has good size and, according to Long, is fairly quick. The backs do not possess a greatbreakaway threat but they are quick so the team will be running a lot of "quick hitters (dives)" with thelinemen pulling and trapping. The Defense The Vikings will use the 3-4-4 defense again this year with Kirby Taylor (6-3, 280), the heaviest man on the squad, being the center's menace at middle guard.Tackles Dann De Bellis (6-3, 250), coming off a second team All-Evco year, and transfer MarkWoodhead (6-1, 240) round out the defensive line. Returnees Emil Whitman and Chuck Houser are theoutside in a Terrill Morgan pass and scores Western's second Alumni. Haerling may see two-way actionas a tight end and Viks challenge Lewis and Clark College for 1st grid win; Evco season beckons TheViking football team, winless in two starts, travels to Portland this weekend to face Lewis and ClarkCollege and Coach Boyde Long is confident the team will chalk up a victory. He may be right since Lewis and Clark is in a rebuilding year. An incident occured last year which caused the expulsion of over halfthe squad. As a result they are young, according to Long, "but highly competitive." His own chargeshave held up well, Long said, and team spirit is not down despite losses to the Alumni, 26-13, and Pacific Lutheran University (PLU), 42-6. The Alumni team, which included such recent greats as Tom Wigg,Steve Jasmar, Glenn Hadland and Gary Gilmore, surprised many — including the 1975 Viks, who gaveup two quick touchdowns. / They suffered^ similar fate on Saturday as PLU scored 28 points in a seven-minute second quarter burst. PLU is rated as a strong contender for the Northwest Conference title andmay be toughest opponent the Vikings face this year. According to Long, adjustments were made inboth games which resulted in more evenly-played second halves. Lewis and Clark will be the Vikings' last non-conference foe. On Oct. 4 they will host Eastern Oregon State College at Civic Field. linebackers.Bob Taylor, who was second in tackles on the team last year, is one of the inside linebackers. The other post is up-for-grabs between newcomers Steve Wahl and Terry Veltkamp. Cornerback Dave Nedved isthe only returnee in the starting defensive backfield. Kevin Kelly mans the other corner-back spot.Newcomers Mike Locker and John Huntley will be the weak and strong safeties, respectively. JimSterk, a defensive back mainstay last year, injured himself in a skiing accident during the off-season and may not play, but will be a top contender for one of the spots if he does. Long was somewhat pleasedwith the play of his secondary as they intercepted five passes in the Alumni game a week-and- a-halfago and he feels he has a good line — "all big and fairly quick." Kicking The kicking game, which hasbeen a sore spot for the past few seasons, is looking good, according to Long. Dave Browne orVeltkamp will be doing the punting while Browne, Haerling or John Mill-arich handle the place kicking.Long said the kicking game could develop into the Vikings' strongest suit. Overall All told, the 1975Vikings appear to be in better shape than the 1974 edition. The offensive line looks solid with the returnof Harlin and Stokes and the proven play of Jay DeBellis. In Mendelson and Morgan, the Vikings havetwo quarterbacks who can throw the ball. And they'll have a talented, if not deep, corps of receivers. In addition to having one of the biggest defensive lines ever, the Vikings also have backup depth in middleguard Eugene Piazza and tackle Randy Schmidt — both returning lettermen. The linebacking corpsprobably suffered the biggest loss when All-Evco performer Gary Gilmore graduated last year and thesecondary is green. But if the Viking coaching staff is right in their assessment of the new talent, theteam just may end up "in the thick of it." Assisting Long are Don Wiseman, newcomers Roy Clumpnerand Mike O'Malley and student assistant Bruce Phillips.

Led by five returning letter-men and several key freshmen, the teamcould very well put things all together to take the Evergreen Conference title. The threesome named all-Evco performers, junior Steve Menard and sophomores Steve Wilson and Kevin Adams, returned along with veterans Steve Pilcher, Chris Pamp and Jeff Sherman. "We've got the makings for a good, solidteam," coach Ralph Vernacchia said. Vernacchia recruited several of the state's top prep distancerunners, including freshmen Matt Shaw, Keith Raymond, Pat Cordell and Jay Kammerzell. All rankedhigh in state competition last year. "If we find our consistency, we can definitely become a contender,"Vernacchia said.

Intramural season begins with football Everyone can't be a varsity letterperson but for those students who are willing and able, there is always the intramurals program. Flag football will kickoff the fall lineup of activities sometime during early October, according toJames Lounsberry, program director. Divisions for both men and women will be offered. Badminton alsogives both sexes a chance to compete. Leagues for men, women and mixed doubles are planned.Women's volleyball and the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot round out the fall activities that will beoffered, so far. Other possibilities include a racketball ladder tournament and swimming meet, to be held in November, provided enough interest is generated. Entry forms for these activities can be obtainedat the intramurals office in Carver Gym. Office hours have not been set yet, pending the hiring of astudent manager to maintain office hours. However, the forms will be available in an envelope whichwill be left on the office door. The intramurals program is looking for students to help officiate the various activities. The officials will be paid and can obtain more information and applications at the intramurals office. Intramural activities will continue throughout the year. During winter quarter, students can look forward to participating in basketball, men, women and "one-on-one basketball," wrestling and handball. Intramurals have been quite popular here and, according to Lounsberry, the only major restriction is the lack of facilities. The funding, he said, is adequate. "It provides us with all we can handle right now. Of course that might be different if we had more facilities."

Regan suggested that people who would like to turn out schedule their classes so they are through by 3 p.m. "It gets dark early later in thequarter, so we have to practice in midafternoon," said Regan.

Holly Backyard boaters in bloody battle by DICK MILNE Washington, the "boating capital of the world," has become the home of a new boatingsport without any water — lawn hydroplane racing. Earlier this month, Western students participated inthe Third Annual Commissioner's Trophy Race, the fifth and final race of this year's lawn hydro circuit.Twenty-two boats were entered in the festivities, held in Western graduate Bruce McConnell's backyardin north Bellingham. The hydroplanes, about two feet long, are made out of wood or wood and plastic.Designs vary; many look like scale models of the real thing. And like the big boys, each boat has its own colorful name, such as "Sleazy Dicker," the "'mist U-Turn," "Jive Turkey," "Weed Hopper" and the "Pride of Uranus." But instead of huge engines plying their way through the water with rooster-tails flying, these boats scoot across a close-cropped grass race course, pushed or shoved by human hands. The boatsJiave to be light enough to fly over the grass, but heavy enough so they don't flip. If your boat flips,, you'reout of the race. The sport was originated in Everett by Tim Ramstead, who along with brother "Boots"makes up the only brother racing duo on the circuit. Like any new sport, lawn hydro racing has its ownjargon: a "huck is the push that propels the boat; a "bean" is hitting another boat or a buoy (usually anempty beer bottle,} for which you lose a turn; a "hook-up" is a close race. The rules are fairly simple,following the basic format of unlimited hydroplane racing. There are three heats, and four flights to eachheat, with five to six boats per flight. The winner of each flight gets 400 points, second 300, third 225 andfourth 169. At the end of the day, the top six boats, plus the one-two finishers in a special "repecharge"heat, make the finals. There are prizes for the top ten boats. At the Commissioner's Cup, the MissBardahl, driven by Larry Johnson of Everett, took top honors, winning a trophy and a fifth of JohnnyWalker Red. Western student Bill Bennett, this year's circuit commissioner, emerged as this year'snational champion, with the most overall points scored during the year. More often than not, the races are an escuse to get together, drink beer and socialize. But when the racing gets tight, excitement, strategy and controversy are definitely part of the picture. For those who wish to enter the circuit, now is the timeto start building your racer and strengthening your arms for next year's season opener in May — theRodeo Cup in Ellensburg. For those who just want to watch, it's already achieved some legitimate status— there are already lawn hydro groupies. As one spectator put it, "It's an interesting game once youdrink a couple beers and get into it."

September 24,1975 Western Front 37 Spikers net a new coach Rich Huntoon was a coachbefore he even played the game, but he worked under one of the finest volleyball tutors around andlearned his lessons well. Women volleyball players at Western will be finding out just how good a coachhe is when they begin their season this fall. Huntoon learned a lot about the sport from Bill Neville, theformer U.S. men's team coach and the current coach of the Canadian national team. He met Neville at aYMCA in his hometown of Los Angeles and helped the senior mentor with coaching duties. But it wasn'tuntil later, when he had "learned more about the sport," that he started playing. In 1971, he moved toSpokane, along with Neville. He was drafted into the Army the following year and it was there that hisvolleyball experience paid off. Using Neville's recommendation, he became the head coach of the all-Army team and led them for three years. In his last season, he coached the team to an inter-servicetitle. Following that season, he was chosen the head coach of the all-armed forces team which finished18th of 56 at the USVBA (United States Volleyball Association) national tournament. Huntoon receivedhis discharge in June and decided to come to Western — as a student, not a coach. "I really likedWashington and I wanted to come back," he said. "I checked out all the schools and found that Western best fit my needs. "I didn't expect to be the coach of the team. I knew they had a coach, so I wasprepared to volunteer my time and help. As it turned out, they didn't have a coach when I got here."Women's basketball coach Lynda Goodrich was the coach last season. Huntoon doesn't know too muchabout the team yet. "I was here for summer quarter and I got to meet a few of the players, but I reallydon't know too much at this time/" he said. Returning from last year's team, which had a 16-14-2 gamemark, are Patti Davies, Karen Kay, Sue McFarland, Terri McMahan, Carolyn Price Sue Sterns andWendy Wefer. Ruggers Capilano by MARSHALL BROWN The Viking Rugby Club opens its 75-76season today at 4 p.m. against Capilano College from Vancouver, B.C. The game will be played on theI.M. field behind Carver Gym., The club has a 19 game season scheduled. Those games will be followed by at least two tournaments. "This year's team is one of the first in a long time to have experiencedpeople playing," club spokesman John McCarthy said last week. "We're really hoping to improve on lastyear's record enough to make it to the nationals in Monterey (Calif) next spring." The ruggers finishedbelow .500 last year for only the second time in the club's many years of experience. Practice sessions for the battle today team are scheduled for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 3:30 p.m.on the field next to Huxley College. "Anyone interested in turning out is certainly welcome," McCarthy said. "We need all the people we can get." Among the returnees are Gene Sinkowicz, DuaneBowman, Greg Fry, Steve Sullivan, Bob Duffey and McCarthy. An action packed and rough game,rugby does offer more than bruises and a shot at the "thrill of victory." The world over, even opposingruggers have a comraderie before and after games that belies the competitive fierceness of a scrum. Itspeaks well for the game's sportsmanship. Women's field hockey cites big time season by MONAJOHNSON Western's women's field hockey team may finally make the big time. Coach Eve Wiseman's squad is slated to play on Astroturf under the lights, a precedent for the Vikettes, at Washington StateUniversity in October and it should be a tight contest. Last year's Western squad, which posted an 8-4-2 regular season record, tied the regional powerhouse Cougars early in the year and later the Vikettesupset WSU 1-0 at the Northwest tournament. "We will be meeting them on their terms," Wisemansaid of the trip to WSU, expecting a close game. In the past, the team has played its entire scheduleon the road, but this year some home contests are planned for the field behind Arntzen Hall. "Previously all the games were away because of the condition of the field, but hopefully we can play on it thisyear," Wiseman said. Although the college teams are under a governing organization, there is still noleague organized in the Northwest. "There was a move this year to send the tournament winner to thenationals," Wiseman said. "The students here voted against it." The athletes find field hockey to be a"little more lightheart-ed" than other more pressurized sports, according to Wiseman and she saidthe women aren't ready to give that up. The financial burden jof going to a national tournament wasanother reason cited for the negative vote. Probable returning players include goalie Jill Smail, one ofthe toughest cage keepers in the state, and her aids on defense, fullbacks Diane Bjerke and DebMatuizek. Canadians Ann Braber and Marriane Tuft-leland, last year's leading scorer, are also likelyprospects to greet Wiseman on the first day of turnout, September 24. Interested women shouldcontact Wiseman at Carver Gym or at turnouts from 3-5 p.m. behind Arntzen Hall. Welcome to TO . . .WWSC TO . . . BELLINGHAM AND TO . . .

Former Maryos9s with superstar Eric Clapton. London, in hopes of fame and fortune. She started playing and singingin Picadilly Circus, a haven of musical hopefuls at the time. "Imagine a barefooted Hawaiian girl inLondon, a totally different environment. It was like cultural shock," she said. While playing in a smallclub, Tim Rice, co-writer of Superstar, immediately was impressed with her voice. She has had nothing but success since then. A year ago she made a turn straight for rock. When Clapton was recording"461 Ocean Boulevard," he needed a female voice. Yvonne happened to be in the studio with husband Bill Oakes at the time. "I couldn't believe it when he asked me to help on the album," she said, sipping aBloody Mary. That summer they toured part of the U.S. but not as successfully as they would have liked. Later, backstage before the show, I asked her what she meant by that. "We weren't sure what we'd doon stage," she said. "Eric had just come out of seclusion and didn't really know what to play toaudiences." Across the room, engaged in a frolicsome jam with Carlos Santana and Jamie Oldaker,Clapton looked across and smiled. Not since his days with Cream has he kept a band this long. "Hedepends on us now," she said. "We all do^ our part. And all I want to do is sing.^ ^ ^ • ^ ^ • i fc I • ' w — — M W W ^ t e a — — ^ ^ ^ ^ M ' • ~ -~ erteS with Lombard and Gable, L-4.

X Western's OutdoorProgram offers nature experience The town of Bellingham is located smack dab in the middle of awilderness wonderland — there are mountains to climb, rivers to raft and islands to bike right in yourown backyard. Western's Outdoor Program, located in Viking Union 304-5, exists for the sole purposeof helping students get the equipment and skills they need to get off the campus and into the woodscheaply. "You have to get out and do it — it's there," Doug Wilcox, outdoor program director said. "The program can only generate as much energy as people put into it." The Outdoor Program is acooperative effort where students can give and get information on everything from sailing tosnowshoe making, "without spending a hellacious amount of money," Wilcox said. Besides being thecenter for classes and workshops on a wide variety of outdoor activities, the Outdoor' Program office has a "Trip Sheet" board where any student who wants to go backpacking, climbing, rafting, skiing oralmost anything else outside can propose a trip which other students can sign up for — to share theexpense and the experience. The program has the potential to help thousands get out of Bellinghamand into nature. But it needs students who want to learn and those who want to teach to make ithappen. "Participation is the word," Wilcox said. "We're trying to get people to use the resource thisarea has to offer them." DOUG WILCOX Some of the events scheduled in the weeks to come includebicycle workshops, sponsored by Jack's Bike Shop beginning next Tuesday at 7 p.m. There are alsoseveral backpacking and river rafting trips planned for the near future. Check in VU 305 for details andtrip sheets. A series of survival workshops is scheduled to begin October 15 at 7 p.m. in VU 305.STARTS SEPT. 24th - 1 WEEK ONLY! BAY ST.
