1977_0405 ---------- Western Front - 1977 April 5 - Page 1 ---------- State marijuana bill fails by one in House A House bill to decriminalize possession of up to 40 grams ofmarijuana failed 47-46 in final reading on the House floor March 31, but its sponsor plans to push forrecon- , sideration. The measure, HB 257, would make possession of up to 40 grams a civil violationwith maximum fine of $50 for the first offense. A second offense within two years would mean amaximum $50 fine and another $50 for participation in a drug-education program. Sale of any quantity ofmarijuana or possession of more than 40 grams would be a crime, subject to up to five yearsimprisonment, $10,000 fine, or both. Sale by an adult to a minor three years younger is also a crimeunder the bill. The Marijuana Education and Control Act of 1977 was originally sponsored by Rep. Alan Thompson (D-Kelso). Rep. Mary Kay Becker (D-Bellinghanl) was one of 13 secondary sponsors. Thebill came to the floor after nearly a month in the House Rules .Committee, referred to there as a rewritten substitute bill by the House Judiciary Committee. The original bill made 28 grams the maximum for civilviolation, with a fine of up to $25. The committee held two hearings in February, with testimony frompeople throughout Washington and from other states with similar laws. Bell- .ingham Police Chief TerryMangan also spoke in favor of the bill. The bill survived several crippling amendments last week,including a motion by Rep. Claude Oliver (R-Ken-newick) to kill it entirely by "indefinitepostponement." Amendments were also rejected to increase the civil fine for first offenders to $200, toreduce the 40 gram limit to 28 or 5 grams, and to put the issue on a referendum ballot next fall. FRONT(western Washington state college) TUESDAY APRIL 5, 1977 VOL. 69 NO. 34 Meyers resigns AS postNOT YET — This botanical wonder missed its chance for decriminalization last week by one vote inthe House, but plans are under way for another try. House committee passes tuition hike first readingby PEGGY WATT The House Higher Education Committee voted 9-1 "do pass" last week on a bill toraise tuition and fees at state institutions about 20 per cent over a two-year period. The bill is now in theHouse Rules Committee, with second reading planned this week. The recommendation March 29reversed a committee vote March 21 in which the bill (HB 312) carried a majority but not quorum of votes. Lone dissenter last week was Rep. Rod Chandler (R-Bellevue). The two-year phase-in would raiseannual resident undergraduate tuition to $564 next fall and $621 in September. Increase for nonresident undergraduates would be to $1734 next fall and $2091 in 1978. Some legislators have indicatedpreference for an automatic increase based on percentage, which was stricken from the bill earlier, but is expected to be proposed in debate. Rep. A.N. "Bud" Shinpoch (D-Ren-ton) may propose amendmentsfor an "escalator clause" of regular increases without review. The bill is favored by the State CollegeCouncil as the lesser of several evils. Michael Sparks, SCC lobbyist, said HB 312 provides a smallerhike than other proposals and "keeps open access" instead of an automatic increase. "Shinpoch'samendment as it now stands is completely out of line with the intent of the bill," Sparks said. Theamendment would make the bill similar to the governor's executive request measure, which was not *considered by the committee. The substitute bill was written based on one submitted by the Council forPost-Secondary Education (CPE), chosen from five tuition hike bills in the committee. After hearingmore than 40 hours of testimony from nearly 20 groups, some 80 amendments were considered by the committee in preparing the bill. Organizations as diverse as the Washington State Grange,Association of Washington Pulp and Paper Workers, Veterans of Foreign Wars and faculty,administration and student organizations from both the four-year and community colleges fromthroughout the state spoke. Veterans organizations expressed concern that the increase hit vetshardest. The original proposal eliminated their special status of the 1971 Washington state tuition"freeze," when federal benefits ran out. Amendments by Rep. Bill Burns (D-Seattle) set tuition forVietnam veterans at the same dollar increase as other students. Resident graduate rates would rise to$624 in fall 77 and $690 in 78; nonresident graduate students would pay $1968 in 77 and $2379 in 78.by JERRY GALLOWAY Sue Meyers has resigned as Associated Students Secretary- Treasurereffective the start of spring quarter. No interim replacement will be named, but after this month'selections the new Secretary- Treasurer may be. asked to assume the office early. Meyers said she quitto concentrate oh graduating in June, with a major in broadcasting communications. "My top priority is to graduate this quarter. I'd become overly involved in the AS — it's so easy to do — and it wasinterfering with school. I'm taking 17 credits this quarter, and I needed more money too," she said.Meyers has gone to work at the Co-op Bookstore as a cashier. "Sue did a lot for the A.S. and for thestudents," AS President Bruce Ayers said in reaction to her resignation letter. "She's worked heremore than a year and did an excellent job Meyers was appointed the vacant position late in winterquarter 1976 and ran unopposed last spring. She said her resignation was not prompted by anyconflict or dissatisfaction with her position. "Anybody gets frustrated working, in a bureaucracy and inpolitics, but its been a good year. I made an internal commitment to streamline the AS organization.We've been growing, and it's important to get SUE MEYERS what we have together," Meyers said.Ayers said Meyers was instrumental in minimizing conflict on the board this year. "Sue is only oursecond resignation this year. There were six last year, and even more the year before, I think," he said.The resigned secretary-treasurer had some advice for her replacement. "Keep a good grasp on whatyou can do for the students and what you can do for yourself, and then draw the line. The biggestfrustration is organizing your own time. It's been more than money or a job — it's a form of education,"she said. Tenure and promotion analysis The Front takes a close look at the ins and outs of tenure andpromotion procedures at Western. See the first of a seven-part series by Beth Barrett on page 3. A-^.\^:vVv lt;vVS,'y^!A' ---------- Western Front - 1977 April 5 - Page 2 ---------- Part 1 Tenure and promotion: no balance EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first segment of a seven-part in-depth analysis of the controversial tenure and promotion issue. by BETH BARRETT * Twenty years agotenure was a way to protect college professors from the crusades of the McCarthy-ites. Today, the fearof termination because of political opinions has been replaced by fear of the job market. In the '60s, thepost-war baby boom hit the colleges. More people also stayed in college to avoid the draft. There was abig demand for PhDs during this period. Today, student enrollment has dropped and the '60s crop ofPhDs is flooding the market, Robert Collier, dean of the College of Business and Economics (CBE).said. Colleges have fewer tenure track positions, but more PhDs are competing for them. Instead ofseeking analysis tenure just for academic protection, professors, today, are looking for job security.College administrations also realize it is a buyer's market. If a professor does not publish, 10 or 20 PhDs just out of graduate school will. The administration might have a hiring advantage now, but it could befaced with a firing problem in the future. "Enrollment is expected to drop in the next few years," JamesTalbot, vice president for academic affairs, said. If there are not enough students to keep professorsteaching, some faculty members will have to leave their colleges. The question is, who will go? Theadministration can fire tenured faculty if it is financially impossible to keep them. This reduction inforce (RTF) pares down the size of a faculty, but it also traumatizes a college. Non-tenured professorscan be fired more easily. They can be released without a RIF and without the extensive proofs ofincompetence required for a tenured colleague. At Western, the administration wants no more than 85per cent of the faculty tenured. This can be done by creating non-tenure track positions. Some personsat Western, however, say the PhD job market and the predicted enrollment trends are causing theadministration to act unfairly. Some of the people who are complaining are faculty at Huxley, Fairhavenand CBE. The non-tenured faculty in these colleges say they are paying the price for the College of Artsand Sciences' 88 per cent tenured faculty. "In the 1960s, it was easy to get tenure, partly because of the market. It's not fair, though, for us to suffer for the excesses of another part of this institution," abusiness and economics professor, said. If Western wants to keep the tenure level at 85 per cent, it willnot be able to tenure many more professors. The entire institution is currently 83 per cent tenured.Eight more tenured faculty members would move this figure up to 85 per cent. What if Western's clustercolleges were tenured at tne B5 per cent level? If this were the case, the entire institution would be 93per cent tenured right now. Balancing is not occurring, Talbot said. "The administration is nottightening tenure standards just to reach certain mathematical proportions. It . . . the Olscampadministration is free to interpret standards any way it wants . . . certainly is not using the clustercolleges to balance out the rest of the institution," Talbot said. There are departments in the Collegeof Arts arid Sciences that are under the 75 per cent tenure level, which is where the cluster colleges are.These departments are about the size of Huxley or Fairhaven, Talbot added. Almost every facultymember who was not tenured can give at least one reason why he wasn't. The reasons are seldomthose given by the administration: he was a poor teacher, he didn't publish enough, his research wasnot up to our standards. The faculty member is more likely to give the following reason: When I cameto Western, I was told I had to meet certain criteria. Now, I've met them, but the administration tells me I have to publish another article or be more active in professional organizations. They changed theoriginal standards on me. A professor in CBE was told he had to publish one article before he would beconsidered for tenure. After he published the article, he was told he hadn't published enough. Anotherprofessor was told to improve his teaching performance. His students, colleagues, and dean, and twooutside evaluators said he had improved to an acceptable level. The administration said he still fell below standards. The main problems with interpreting standards for tenure and promotion, and decidingwhether they have changed, are the policies themselves. All of Western's departmental and collegepolicies are uniformly vague, but list teaching, research, publications and community service insome order of importance. The result is that the Olscamp administration is free to interpret standardsany way it wants to and is not tied to the interpretations used when Jerry Flora was Western's president. The administration says, however, the standards really haven't changed in the last six years. "They arethe same standards," Talbot said. "Six years ago, people were hired and tenured who did not meetthose 'standards because nobody else was available. Today we are in a position to make sure everyprofessor meets the standards before we tenure him," Talbot said.

The proposed increase in oiltraffic in Puget Sound, according to Manfred Vernon, conference director and political scienceprofessor at Western, raises a number of environmental, social, economic and political issues.Additionally, Vernon said consideration of our future energy needs extending beyond the limits ofAlaskan crude is a matter that should be addressed immediately. Bob Lynette and Sherrie Mclntyre,representing the Coalition Against Oil Pollution, addressed the problem of Janker maneuverability in theSound. They said the .1.2 miles it takes to stop a tanker, lack of adequate safety features, and thenavigational difficulties of Puget Sound waters make tanker traffic extremely dangerous. Lynette alsopointed out that, on a per-port-of-call basis, smaller tankers have less mishaps and spillage than larger tankers. "You just can't allow yourself to be snowed into believing that big tankers are safer than littletankers. They're just not," Lynette said. James Scott, from Western's Center for Pacific NorthwestStudies, said he wished Washington was not the proposed oil transfer point, adding, "I doubt there isany longer time to change it." Jerry Flora, director of Western's Shannon Point Marine Laboratory, saidthe effects of an oil spill "are very complex." he admitted most information available on the topic is"incomplete." Flora pointed out, through an elaborate description of marine barnacles, that the widerange and diversity of marine life make it virtually impossible to predetermine Current Students in ourM.A.A.B.S. program emphatically tell us: "Go to Bellingtiam — that's where you'll find the students whoare looking for this kind of program!"

In addition, Flora said thatvariables such as the type of oil and water, spill location, and time of year all contribute heavily to theeffects on marine environment. Robert Clark of the National Marine Fisheries Service warned thatbecause oil spills and their resulting damage are so obvious, other pollutants, which are beingcontinually released into the water and are probably contributing more to the death of the seas, arealmost forgotten. B. Glenn Ledbetter of the Washington Oceanographic Commission said the entireoil controversy will never be settled until the public is "willing to accept the inherent risks" involved.Wilbur Hallauer, director of Washington's Department of Ecology t said that in order to fulfill our futureenergy needs, we must be willing to take more chances with the environment. The symposium isscheduled to continue at Peninsula College in Port Angeles on April 16, and the University of PugetSound on May 6 and 7. No booze yet The rumor that Western may be permitted to sell liquor oncampus might or might not become a reality. The State Liquor Control Board has not given anyindication one way or the other to VU Director Jack Smith, who is overseeing the task. "The applicationhas been run through the mill which isn't ordinarily done, but it seems because we're a state collegethings seem to be different," Smith said. The application which was filed by the college fall quarter is inthe final stages of decision by the liquor control board after passing the preliminary stages. After initialapproval by the board of the application there was a 30-day notice to the public, the response fromcommunity members. The notice was posted in December and was taken down in January.

Scheduled to begin operations more than a year ago, the SEC finally opened last Feb.15 (with College President Paul Olscamp cutting the ceremonial ribbon two weeks later) after funding and staffing delays. A total of 94 persons made use of the SEC the first day, convincing those involved theordeal had been worth it. But, was it? Linda Ploeg, receptionist at the center, said last week about 200student applications were currently on file — half of which'are not up to date. Apparently, things havebeen pretty slow at the SEC since its debut two months ago. The SEC provides part-time and summerjob listings for on- and off-campus positions. It also sets up interviews between employers and potentialemployes. The SEC boasts a 25 per cent placement rate, which isn't bad for these reces! ionary times.Students who use the SEC have a definite edge in the job market over students who don't. Thosestudents seeking employment who do not take advantage of what the SEC has to offer not only hindertheir chances of landing a job, but leave a vital campus service with no one to serve. It was a long timecoming. Now that we have the SEC, will we put it to use? Or will all the time and effort that went into itmean nothing? Voting changes due If all goes well in the legislature, Washington voters will have a voicein t h e selection of presidential candidates. It's about time. Currently in the Senate is a bill to allowWashington to be included in the Oregon-Idaho presidential primary, held every four years. The primarywould be held late in May, just before the California primary. Voters would choose from the candidatesrunning in their registered party. The benefits from such a bill are obvious. At last, Washington voterswould be able to help select the candidate for their party before the convention, instead of simply beinggiven a candidate to vote for. If candidates are to be selected by their parties, it stands to reason thatWashington should have a voice in that selection process. Another benefit would be strictly political, butjust as important. By holding a primary election, the state would be giving itself a lot more political power. Candidates running for president would have to seek the state's vote and would therefore be forced tomake promises. Once in office, some atonement for these promises would have to be made. The bill hasalready passed the House. It is now up to the Senate and Gov. Dixy Lee Ray. It's about time the statehad a presidential primary election.! Our only question is: why has it taken so long for the state toennact? Grievance process 'a waste of time' Editor, Western Front: At the beginning of last quarter Iwrote a letter complaining about the unfair grading practices exhibited by certain members of theEnglish department. Dean lames Davis responded saying that I should give the grievance procedure achance before labeling it a waste of time. Well, I gave it a chance and I can confidently say: "It bloodywell doesn't work!" For you students contemplating using Western's complicated grievanceprocedure, here is a list of things to watch for: 1. Plan on at least three months to complete "the"process. 2. Whatever you say or write is not confidential. The teachers freely distribute youraccusations to: undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and colleagues. (A serious breach of thestudent's privacy?) 3. The accused teachers are allowed to present "supportive" materials which thestudent is never allowed to view, whereas the teacher is allowed to review all of the student's writtenand oral input. 4. When challenging a teacher for "capricious and fetter^ arbitrary" actions, and forclaiming "sex" discrimination the student is threatened with libel. 5. The student (and witnesses) iscalled a liar. It comes down to the teacher's credibility vs. student's credibility. And who do you thinkwins this round? The grievance procedures are geared to reinforce the bulging bureaucratic patronage system. The student NEVER has an advocate. I still contend that Larry Lee and Marjorie Ryan,according to standards set by Western's education department, are inferior teachers. C. MichaelArcher Senior, Speech/English Women's politics leave sexist males hung up Editor, Western Front: Iattended the scheduled program presented by Warren Farrell who was to speak about helping men torecognize and overcome sexist behavior and to be comfortable in their masculine role. The day on which this program was scheduled was International Women's Day. Women's Day has been definedpurely in political terms, since as the representative from Western's Women's Space told me, everything is political. Those events scheduled on that day are to follow a protocol, defined in political terms. Inthis case, protocol said that no men shall be allowed to speak about men; women or anything. Theother message that came through was that only the oppressed can talk about the oppressed. So whatwe have created is a set of principles to be applied to this day, principles that ignore the cause of theproblem, that ignore the dynamic interpersonal processes that go on between men and women whichhave created the situations that we have today. The principles associated with Women's Day are feltmost strongly by those who have created them. The people that came Tuesday night did not feel theseprinciples of protocol as Election proposals overdue President )immy Carter deserves a pat on the backfor three election reform proposals he made late last month. With any luck, they will become realitybefore the 1980 elections. The reforms, involving the electoral college, voter registration andcongressional campaign funding, are all sorely needed. It has taken until now to find a president who isstrong enough to try and push them through. Essentially, the electoral system entitles the candidatewhowinsthe majority of a state's votes Staff commentary to receive all of its electoral votes. A presidentthen, is not elected by the people directly, but by the states' electoral votes. There are two reasons thissystem needs to be junked. First, it takes away the voice of those voting for the candidate.who doesn'1carry the state's majority. For instance, in this state, if you voted for Carter last November, youessentially wasted your vote, because the majority voted for Gerald Ford. All of the state's electoral votes went to Ford. The minority vote therefore, counted nothing. A second reason to junk the electoralcollege is that it can enable a candidate who wins a minority of the popular vote to become president.This happened three times - t o 1824, 187«land tern A 3 it almost happened in 1976. according voters in Ohio and Hawaii had voted for Ford, the former president would be in office now even though Carter would have had a two million vote edge. Last November, only 53 per cent of the voting-age population castballots. Carter's voter registration reform proposal would help eliminate this poor turnout. Another ofCarter's proposals, a plan to publicly fund congressional elections equally, would bring a level of fairnessto campaigns. By having equally funded campaigns, candidates would be forced to rely only onthemselves and not their money. The last presidential election was funded publicly, and is an example of how well this system can work. Both candidates spent the same amount and the election ended upbeing one of the closest ever — with Carter winning by a slim 3 per cent of the vote. While Carter'srecommendations should be 'applauded, as yet they are just recommendations. For electoral collegereform, it will take a constitutional amendment which must be approved by two-thirds majorities of boththe House and Senate and then ratified by three-quarters of the states. For the election registrationproposal and campaign funding program, congressional legislation must be passed before they willbecome law. strongly as the feminists. Most people came with the attitude that to polarize men andwomen and expect them to resolve their conflicts, their hang-ups about each other, and the oppressiveforces that exist between them is wrong. Far-rell's program presented an alternative to this, to bringtogether all people toward a realization of the one humanity which they are. We have a new Presidentwho has violated protocol, defined in political terms, and has approached it in a very human and a very real way. He has tried to interpret and practice it in such a way as to make it more meaningful to thepeople of this country. It is regrettable the good that could have taken place, for all people gt; waspositively excluded because of the unalterable political definitions of Women's Day. TomKeeneySenior Environmental Planning Actress feels review unfair Editor's note: The following letter is inreference to a review of the play "Old Times" [Front, March 8] by Front reporter Dan Smith. Helen Farias was an actress in that production. Editor, Western Front: I am a member of the cast of "Old Times" atthe Guild, and I take exception to your method of play-criticism. If you didn't understand or enjoy theplay, that's all right and if you didn't like my performance, that's all right too, but to use, as a device todemonstrate what you construe as our ineptitude, remarks "overheard" (i.e., eavesdropped upon)made perhaps in jest and quoted out of context, is unprofessional and rather cheap, I think. The playis complex, rich; not meant to be taken as straightforward expository 19th Century drama withwhich you evidently feel less at sea, and the cast and director (lane Kindred, whom you didn'tmention, but who is responsible for a large part of what goes forth on stage and who chose the play)discussed it in depth throughout the period we were in rehearsal. (We as a cast obviously did more work on the play than you as a reviewer did on the review, and if shows in your self-congratulatory prose.)When we allowed the reporter and photographer to come backstage and then delay us in costume and makeup for a quarter of an hour or so after the show, we had no idea that they were busily jotting downour private comments to be used in print later. Unpleasant, and I repeat, unprofessional. Stick to whatyou see on the stage for your reviews. That's enough, and it's all that counts.

This renaissance concert was performed bytwo pros who gave their audience the feeling that they were actually in an Elizabethan theater of the 16th century. James Bowman, countertenor sang with such control and direction in his falsetto voice, onehad he feeling he could have sung well above high F, the topO note of a countertenor range. RobertSpencer, lutist, played two technically difficult solos in particular — an Elizabethan ayre and anItalian lute solo, with great precision and feeling. The pair have given many recitals together and arereferred to as "England's finest renaissance dub." They have an interaction about them that tells howmuch they enjoy what they are doing. And the audience loved them as they cheered the pair on to twoencores. Unvortunately, the concert hall was only half-full, so many missed out on a fine and rareperformance. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Williams Williams TICKETSIN SEATTLE Marshall Tucker Kinks Crusaders Super Tramp ...

GENEVIEVE BUJOLD CLIFF ROBERTSON Music Aud. April 10 PG $1.00 6:30 9:00 a program commission film Return to Forever: a group of freedom, constantchange byMIKEDeFELICE Chick Corea sits cross-legged on a table backstage at the ParamountNorthwest Theatre in Seattle. He and his reformed band Return to Forever have finished a Sundayafternoon concert, and Corea is catching some lasagne and salad before the evening show. Return toForever is a group in constant change due to Corea's desire to explore and play new music. RTF rarelyreleases an album that does not take a newer musical direction or contain newer instruments than therecord before it. "Musicmagic," their latest album, has a five piece horn section, an element previouslyforeign to Return to Forever, that compliments Corea's keyboards and Stanley Clarke's bass work.Another addition is the vocals of Gayle Moran. Corea has led his unit from days of reserved jazz on theGerman record label ECM to electronic and synthesized music that saturates the jazz scene today. Hismusic is always on the move. "I'm not as impulsive today as I have been in the past," says Corea abouthis new music, between bites of dinner. "It used to be that once I got into a particular aspect of music,like writing or producing, I would go on with it for months, then suddenly move to something different.Direction of my music would change abruptly," he says. "But now my music is more consistent thanever," Corea adds with a nod of confidence. The band leader accounts for his new outlook to the additionof singer Gayle Moran to Return to- Fore ver. "There have been people who have been foils in my life,"Corea explains. "I like to meet musicians whose style is different from mine. Miles Davis and StanleyClarke are such people, Gayle is another. She re-inspires my liking for classical music and writing." Inaddition to being an inspiration to Corea, Moran has affected Return to Forever. There are fewer soloexchanges between Corea and Clarke, to make way for lyrics that are often weak. Yet the singer adds adimension that prevents the group from becoming stale. Another new influence in RTF is a horn section.Reedsman Joe Farrell and four former Woody Herman brass members provide a forceful punch to therevised band. John Thomas and James Tinsley plays trumpets while Jim Pugh and Harold Garrett(musician on soundtrack of "A Star is Born") are on trombones. Throughout the existence of Return toForever, Chick Corea has allowed, even encouraged, his members to play the way they want; even if that means recording their own album. In an Edgewater Hotel room after the second Seattle concert, a tiredStanley Clarke talked Seattle "concert, a tired Stanley Clarke talks "Many times a band leader tells hisgroup 'you play for just me or you don't play at all.' Ch|ck likes you to explore personal music avenues,"added the bassist. "We are not looking for a hit record," says Clarke. Stanley Clarke has two soloalbums in sight, a "live" lp of new and old material and a special studio album due out next spring. "Thestudio album is going to take four times longer to record than my other works," Clarke anxiously let on."It will be like a smorgasbord with lots of soloists and will stick to the basics of music." While ChickCorea likes to see his group do their own thing, he also likes to do short-term projects on his own. Hehas done several solo albums that feature his acoustic piano talents. "This fall I intend to form a bandwith Gavle and do some of her material," says Corea. One might think because RTF puts out so manyrecords they're after money. "We are not looking for a hit record," Stanley Clarke says, taking a bite oforange. "We figure the more quality albums we put out, the more positiveness will come out."ite77i.3 WiiwSw^m#«l MEET THE MAGICIANS. No introductions needed here: you know who they are. Return to Forever.

Both are interviewed onpage 7. Photos by Dave Porter by MIKE DeFELICE As people filed into Carver Gym to see Chick Corea last Tuesday, they were greeted with Bach on the PA system. The classical sounds prepared the house for an evening with Return to Forever, Corea's band, whose music contains touches of classical andnearly every other genre of music. The three-and-a-half hour program was mostly from RTF's newColumbia album, "Musicmagic." The performance, however, had more improvisation, excitement andsolos than are evident on the disc. Tuesday's house, only half-full, en-thusuastically received it all.Corea's band has been greatly changed since it last appeared at Western two years ago.

The crime is so horrifying a bench of magistrates wantsto send him to prison for life. Instead, he is sent to a psychiatrist who tries to probe the reasons for hisact. The shocking crime and the events leading up to it are the basis for Peter Shaffer's "Equus," theSeattle Repertory Theatre's current production. Alan Strang, the boy, is questioned by Martin Dysart thepsychiatrist, as to what caused the incident. As the play unfolds, one learns of Alan's life, his religiousmother and atheist father, and of his worship of horses, centering at the stable where he works. Thepsychiatrist himself is a man unhappy with his job — molding disturbed children into normal members ofsociety. His marriage is lifeless, and he finds escape in reading about Ancient Greece. As theexpository scenes continue, one learns more about Alan's obsession with equine creatures. As a child,he kept a picture of a horse over his bed and prayed to it as his god Equus every night. I was impressedby this presentation of a widely praised and much awarded play. It requires a highly professional group ofactors to perform this intense drama. Director Duncan Ross commanded a fine job of acting from hiscast, especially those in the roles of Dysart and Dora Strang, Alan's mother. James Ray, as Dysart thetroubled child psychiatrist, gave a consistently excellent performance in a difficult role. His highlypersonal monologues, addressed directly to the audience, were those of a man in conflict between whathe believes in, and what he must do. Mark Buchan does a good job in the role of Alan Strang, but hisage and physical appearance work against him. He looks too old to believably play a 17-year-old boy, and isn't sufficiently British-looking for my liking. His first scene on stage doesn't come off, because he givesthe semblance of a tense, trembling boy, instead of a defiant one. Also, during the course of the play heoccasionally drops his English accent. However, his best moment is near the end of the drama, when he acts out the events of the night the blinding took place, and the act itself. Strong support in the castcame from Margaret Hilton and Paul C. Thomas as Alan's parents. Outstanding also was Kimberly Rossas Jill Mason, whose seduction of Alan in the horse barn sets off the atrocity committed to his belovedhorses. Katherine Ferrand did well as Hesther Salomon, the sympathetic magistrate, but she was tooyoung to pass as a female jurist. The starkly imagistic set, designed by Michael L. Mayer, resemblingthe boxing ring, fit the mood of the play perfectly. The stylistically intricate horses' heads, worn by the sixactors who played the horses, were designed by Lewis R. Rampino. The Seattle Rep is one of the fewtheaters in America to obtain performance rights to "Equus."

"Musicmagic" and an extended "Endless," which opened the concert,showcased Corea with incredible runs on electric organ and synthesizer, alternating with lightning basswork by Clarke. The duo bounced the melody line off each other and created an exciting sound thatappeared to be as pleasing to the musicians as the audience. Corea and Clarke did acoustic work ontheir respective instruments during the second half of the concert. Most memorable was "MoorishWarrior, Spanish Princess," a Clarke tune featuring him in a solo that brought the crowd to its feet. Afterthe end of the concert, people headed out the doors. Bach was playing through the hall. It was a tastyend to a satisfying performance.

Similar jobs exist in 65 overseas countries and in theWestern United States, Peace Corps and VISTA* recruiters Maggie Haines and Rockv Diaz said. Theyare at the Placement office, Edens Hall, from 9 to 4 this week in a drive to fill 2600 positions opening upthis summer for June graduates throughout the United States. One half of the requests for volunteersare for graduates with a math or science background, Diaz said. Even 10 to 15 math credits will give agraduate an 80 per cent chance in getting the two year Peace Corps position, he added. Manydeveloping nations have big teaching programs in the physical and life sciences and in mathematics."They're desperate for the technology," Haines said. A second year French student, at the high school or college level, also has a good chance of landing a Peace Corps job, Diaz said. Graduates withmajors in nursing, health, agriculture, "forestry, engineering, education, home economics and Englishare among the first recruiting priorities, according to a recent Peace Corps release. Skills valuable in thePeace Corps program can also be acquired without a degree. "A lot of times people have skills theydon't know they have," Diaz said. People with a background in crafts or those who were raised on a farm have used their experience to get Peace Corps positions. VISTA summer programs are not yet open,but recruiters will be available at the Placement Office to answer questions on the community servicework to be done by U.S. volunteers.

The role of the two teams in the nine-inningcontest, won by SU 8-1, was as guinea pigs. Kingdome and Seattle Mariner officials used the game as a testing ground for equipment and methods to be used during the major league season. A smattering ofplayers' parents and selected press representatives completed the tiny audience, kept that way,supposedly, so as to take none of the glitter away from the "real" Kingdome baseball opener tomorrowwhen the Mariners host the California Angels. Despite the historic "first," of more importance to coachRalph Dick and his Vikings were the three Evergreen Conference losses last week to Central Washington in Ellensburg. Dick said his team cannot afford to lose another conference game if it is to remain incontention for the Evco Northern Division crown. Though the Vikings outhit the Wildcats 27-25 in theseries, defensive lapses were a factor as they fell by scores of 9-4, 6-5 and 3-2. "We threw two of 'emaway and lost one," Dick said. Dick praised the pitching of Bob Bromley and Randy Eggen, and thehitting of Jim Emerson, Kelly Smith, Dave Starrer, Tom Harmon, Marv McKenzie and Mike Locker.Emerson led Vik batters with five hits, including a double, in the three games. The Vikings head east this week for six games, beginning with Gonzaga University Thursday in Spokane. Friday Western meetsEastern Washington State College in a single game at Cheney, and Saturday the conference foes willplay a doubleheader. Sunday the Viks travel to Lewiston for two games with Lewis and Clark StateCollege. Free swims offered A pleasant alternative to chugging around the track for exercise, is a swimin Carver Pool. The hours it is open to students are billed as 'co-rec swims.' The hours are listed below. During the week, a student card can be temporarily traded for a regulation suit. On the weekends youhave to bring your own. If you purchase your own towel from the bookstore for $2.65, the pool people will wash it for you and provide you with a fresh one. The only other thing you may want to use are swimgoggles. These protect the eyes from the irritating effects of the chemicals in the water.

ATTENTION: JUNEGRADS Ever thought of becoming a Peace Corps or VISTA volunteer? No question working as a PeaceCorps volunteer overseas or as a VISTA volunteer here at home is a lot different than most traditional jobs. Even though Peace Corps and VISTA assignments mean long hours, low pay, and a certain amount offrustration, there are rewards for special people. Like working and living in a developing country or a newcommunity. Gaining intimate knowledge of a new language and culture (yes, this can even happen in theUnited States). But most of all, helping people where there's work to be done. Apparently, these rewardsare enough to attract many Americans. Over 100,000 since 1961. And 65 countries in Africa, Asia, LatinAmerica, and the Pacific continue to request the services of Peace Corps volunteers, while communitiesin our own country still seeks VISTA volunteers to work with the poor and disadvantaged. Currently, thePeace Corps and VISTA have volunteer opportunities in a wide variety of skills and disciplines. Theseinclude education, agriculture, business, accounting, nursing, math, general science, French, English, the social sciences, law, forestry, engineering, health, and many other areas. The deadline for applying forprograms that begin this summer is right around the corner. A Peace Corps/VISTA representative can give you complete information on the exact nature of each opening and the requirements. An interview is all it takes. If you think you're qualified and are prepared to find your own special experience and reward in the Peace Corps or VISTA, come and talk to us. Peace Corps VISTA SPECIAL JOBS FOR SPECIALPEOPLE.

The tests are given by Peter Rich, physical education instructor, and Ralph Vernac-chia, men's track coach. The tests will berepeated at the end of the track season in May to compare results. The effects of the season's trainingon the body can . then be, measured. The physiologial tests include underwater weighing, which givesthe percentage of body fat or density. To compute this you must know the amount of air left in the lungsafter complete exhalation. the psychological tests are set up to give the coaches an idea of what type of individual they are working with. One test involves the athlete's self-concept. The athletes are given achecklist of 300 adjectives, and are told to check the ones they feel apply to themselves. Personalitytraits are looked at through a series of multiple choice questions asking the individuals anything fromwhat type of job is preferred to how certain situations are handled. Vernacchia said the computedresults will be beneficial to him and others in the understanding of how an athlete's body and mindworks. This is the first time this type of extensive testing has been done at Western.

Strength is measured at areas where it is supposed to be greatest, such as at the ankles and wrists. free for all by BRUCE STINSHOFF As the quarter continues, the overall look at the sportspages should change quite drastically. One of our biggest changes is our new scoreboard column whichappears on page 15. Although today's scoreboard contains only a few sports, with time, it shouldbecome more complete, giving results and standings of intercollegiate, club and intramural sports. Thereare several reasons for adopting this new column. For one thing we would be unable to give fair andcomplete coverage to each spring sport considering our small number of sports writers. A bigger reasonis that our printing schedule makes for presenting old news. At best we can get results which are already two days old. For this reason most of the results which we printed were already read in the dailys bythose people who really cared, and those who didn't know the results probably didn't care anyway. Weare offering this scoreboard for those who may have missed the results in the local dailys and are indeedinterested. Another advantage to giving sports results in box score form is that there is no longer thedilemna of giving either the 4:10 miler or the 9.3 second 100 yard dash men the attention. This oftenhappens in the game type story, where space is often tight. With this scoreboard available, we can givemore space to feature type articles. There will be more features of people, events and controversies.Coming up in recent issues are stories ranging from interviews with record breaking athletes, to a featureon a juggling class. But we still need help. We have a very small sports staff and we can't possibly beaware of all the stories on and off campus. To achieve our goal of printing the best possible stories, weneed ideas and suggestions from all sorts of people. Ideas from coaches, athletes, and all other readers.Outside writers are welcome and this column is also available for anyone to write. Just come to the Front and talk to me. With everyone's help, this sports section can be different from just another sports page.Lacrosse referees needed Referees are needed for weekend lacrosse games. Salary will be $10 pergame. Prior experience is recommended. For further information contact Greg Slater, 272-9020. THISWEEK LIVE ON STAGE! Can You Explain the Bermuda Triangle Mystery?

Smolkin opted to come to Bellingham when, after nearly a year on the magazine, shefound herself in the hospital. "Twenty-one years old and in the hospital with a bleeding ulcer," Smolkinsaid. "I knew I had to make some choices." She chose to leave New York, which she found "toocrowded, too noisy, too everything," and came to Bellingham. She interviewed her way out west. Stillfreelancing for the magazine, Smolkin looks back on the experience as an interest-one. Meetingpeople was what she liked best. She met Billie Jean King, part owner and founder of women- Sports."She wasn't around much," Smolkin said. "But when she was, you couldn't help but be impressed withthe kind of energy and vitality that she radiated." "One day a woman came in. She claimed to be theYo-yo Queen of the U.S. She wanted to do a demonstration," Smolkin said. "First, she put a pokerchip on my ear. She knocked it off with her yo-yo. Then, she FROM NEWSROOM TO CLASSROOM— Shelley Smolkin, former assistant editor for 'womenSports' magazine, will teach reporting thisquarter at Western. put a match between my teeth. So I stood there, with my eyes closed and waited. I figured she was going to break it. Next thing I knew I was standing there with a flaming match betweenmy teeth. She'd lit it. Of course she quickly came and put it out, but I was sure surprised." Smolkin has been dealing with women almost exclusively in her freelance writing. In fact, she just recently did herfirst article on a male athlete. She interviewed Geese Ausbie of the Harlem Globe Trotters. "That was fun because after I'd spent the afternoon talking to him, I went to his game. He was like the main comedianin that team and I felt that I knew him." Talking with women athletes, Smolkin has made someobservations about the competitive attitude of women. "The women I talked to didn't have a 'we'renumber one' and 'kill the opposition attitude,' They were most concerned with being the best they couldbe for themselves," Smolkin said. In coming to Western, Smolkin was impressed with theperformance of the women's basketball team. "Women's basketball is the up and coming sport. It hasbeen dominated by small schools in the past, so it isn't surprising that Western is doing so well," shesaid. "I was pleasantly surprised to see that Western had changed the name of the women's teamsto Valkyries. It is an assertion of the women's identity. To me, the suffix 'ettes' sounds like anappendage," Smolkin said. "The gym locker room here is always crowded with women," Smolkin said."I am glad to see that." "I think there is a trend toward participation in women's sports. It is a goodthing," Smolkin added. Get out and Pitch In! National College "Pitch In!"
