1980_0215 ---------- Western Front - 1980 February 15 - Page 1 ---------- Front VOL. 72, NO. 11 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1980 Recallpetition threatens AS Board rep The chairman of the AS facilities council has begun a recall movementagainst activities council representative to the AS board Dan Moore. Ron Wells charges.Moore in amemo with "gross dereliction" of his duties, "misappropriation and repeated violations" of AS rules and supplies and "numerous violations of AS statutes and procedures." Moore, who is chairman of theactivities council, denied some of the charges and said the others had been corrected. He saidWells'attempt to recall him is out of "personal antagonism." The recall movement was initiated by Wells, he said, "for the good of the student body. I want to make students more aware of who they elect," hesaid. "The position shouldn't be given to a person who can't handle it," he said. The activities council is a 12 member student body responsible for funding, recognizing and reviewing AS organizations.Currently it is responsible for funding 53 student clubs. To have a recall election requires approval by75 percent of the AS board or the signatures on a petition of 40 percent of the voters in the last ASelection. That would require approximately 450 names. The recall election must take place, accordingto AS bylaws, not less than 14 days and not more than 21 days after the petition is received by the AS.Wells said he has begun work on the petition. "It will hit the streets on Monday," he said. Wells saidMoore's gross dereliction is that he has missed 15 percent of the AS board meetings. Moore said thatcharge is "totally without substance." - Wells also charged that Moore waited one and one-half quartersbefore appointing an activities council representative to serve on facilities council as required by ASstatutes. Moore counters that at council meetings he continually asked for someone to serve on thefacilities council. No one would accept the responsibility, he said. But, Moore said, he finally filled the position himself. Wells charges that Moore was late for the meetings and left them early. Thosecharges are not disputed by Moore, but he said he didn't have enough DAN MOORE time to attend allthe meetings. He has since appointed another student to serve on the facilities council, he said. Butprobably the primary charge against Moore is his overseeing of the activities council budget. Its budgetwas "frozen" on Feb. 4 by Kevin Majkut, assistant director for activities, to prevent further spending bythe council after it was determined no one knew how much money remained in its budget. . Theactivities council began the year with a budget of $12,900. By Feb. 12 Moore reported $300 was left in abudget intended to last the rest of the year. No exact record was kept of the transactions, Moorejsaid, because, "when we had that much money, running out didn't seem imminent." He said he had no advice or training on how to keep track of the expenditures. But, he said, before Christmas break the councildecided to tally the "expenditure requests" by the council to determine the amount left in the budget.But those 10 to 15 requests were destroyed in the fire in Buchanan Towers that gutted Moore's room.He then went through the minutes to determine the amount left in the budget, he said. The budget wasreopened last week. The council has a very limited budget for the number of organizations it must fund,Moore said. This year's budget has been spent at half the pace as last year's budget, he said. But thebudget would have lasted longer were it riot for certain "liberal spenders on the council," he said. "Therehas been a gross misuse of the money," he said. "We've funded too many trips and unnecessary things." He said he had voted against over one-half the council's expenditures. Moore pointed, for example, totrips by programming commission personnel to New York for $995 and to Washington, D.C. for $905.He said KUGS sent people to Chicago at a cost of $600, while the women's center sponsored gayactivist Elaine Noble in the Viking Union for $2,500. The AS board went into executive session atits Tuesday meeting. It decided continued top of page 4 Faculty, students, staff rate Security Nightescorts, parking needs cited in survey Students, faculty and staff are satisfied with Safety and Security'sperformance and feel it is effective in doing its job, according to results from a Security surveyconducted last spring. On a scale from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied) the responses averaged3.25. The survey was prompted by work of the Security Review Task Force last year. The SecurityAdvisory Committee (SAC) wanted to aid the Task Force in reviewing operations of Security and inmaking recommendations for improving the department's policies and procedures. Because the TaskForce was performing some of SAC's duties, it decided to poll the campus "over and above" the taskforce, said Security director and former SAC chairman R. G. Peterson. The survey was sent to on-campus students last May in the housing packets. A total of 445 students responded, some withwritten comments. Faculty and staff members also were given the survey, to which 309 responded. Off-campus students were not surveyed. Twenty-five percent of the students and faculty/staff who respondedsaid they had never been in contact with Security. The satisfaction and effectiveness of Security wererated in several areas, including traffic control, safety and protection. Areas receiving the highestcombined (student, faculty/staff) numbers were satisfaction in building security and safety. Receivinglower scores were Security's effectiveness in protection and investigation of reported crimes. In aquestion about Security services, 42 of the 92 respondents requested more escort services or nightpatrolling by officers. "They are really bad in their escort service. My friend needed an escort and they didn't have time," said one student. Protection from vandalism and stealing in dorms and parking lotswas another common answer. Faculty responses concerned increased building security and severalrequests for night escort service. Suggestions of services that should be eliminated by Security included 30 who responded that parties should be handled differently. The comments ranged from wantingofficers to strictly enforce "alcohol abuse" in dorms to wanting Security to "leave us alone." Multilevelparking lots, underground lots, free parking anywhere and roller-skates were suggestions made bystudents and faculty for relieving the parking shortage. One student suggested a 30- story undergroundparking lot. Security director R.G. Peterson said he was pleased with the results. "All in all I think theresults prove Security is doing a satisfactory job," he said. When asked why off-campus students werenot surveyed Peterson said he felt on-campus students have more contact with Security officers, andsaid he did not feel the results would be different if off-campus students were included. Peterson said hewould like to be able to increase .the escort service and night patrolling, but does not have themanpower now. Parking is a full-time job in itself, Peterson said. He added he would like parking tobecome a separate department to ease the load. "People forget the good things we do when their car isimpounded," he said. —Sue Mitchell ---------- Western Front - 1980 February 15 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, February 15, 1980 Editorials v Recall exemplifies polities' bad side "Politics isthe conduct of public affairs for private advantage." Ambrose Bierce in "The Devil's Dictionary." A cynicalview to be sure, but Bierce could well have been describing Associated Students politics. The "privateadvantage" in this instance is fame, a name, or a claim to future notoriety. * A case in point is thecurrent attempt by Facilities Council Chairman Ron Wells to have recalled from office AS boardrepresentative Dan Moore. Moore, also chairman of the nearly-broke activities council, is charged in apetition by Wells of "gross dereliction" in performance of his duties; among other things. AS PresidentKathy Walker, whose responsibility is to keep the board functioning, states Moore's problem should behandled internally. Other board members have agreed not to state a position on the matter. From thispolitical mess, one thing becomes clear: As the AS elections approach, politicians' minds become bent;aspirants either are eager to sling mud or to be very non-committal. Wells claims he is "90 percent" surehe will not run for office, but others think differently. Current AS office-holders, some of whom will berunning this spring, have decided not to take ah official stand on Moore's performance. What better waynot to jeopardize a future political career? The comment here is not on the validity of Wells'charges. Infact, yes, Dan Moore has had some serious problems on the board. But what is a shame is thatpoliticians have not dealt with a political problem, and the student/politician who is, might be using thisincident to further his own goals. False motives, personal gain, irresponsibility—It is not yet to be seenon its face, but one can only fear that election-time, and its evils, are here. Parkins problems, Security'smonster Parking! Tickets! Towing! Words that make us shudder. Not only students cringe at the words,so does Western's Safety and Security department. One Security dispatcher claims most of the calls hereceives deal with parking problems. Paper work involved with ticketing and impounding is "unbelievable," another dispatcher said. None of us like to be towed away or ticketed. The university makes the rulesand Security must enforce them. But should Security be in charge of the burden? Security officers,trained policemen, must go off of their regular duty to issue tickets. It seems a waste when so muchvandalism and stealing occurs on campus. If Security had more time, it could check buildings and dorms more closely, increase escort service and make more night patrols of the campus. Only one Securityofficer is in the field at one time now, and he must police 180 acres, Security Director R.G. Peterson said. The logical solution is more manpower, which, of course, means more money, a hard resource to comeby these days. Another solution would be to form a separate department for parking and transportation to release Security from this "monster," as Peterson describes parking responsibilities. The secondsolution seems the most plausible. An independent department could concentrate on parking and might just alleviate some of the current problems. Officers should be set free to'insure campus security andsafety.

What began as a minor squabble between two convicts and one guard grew into a maniathat quickly swept through the prison. A battle of convict versus convict ensued, leaving 33 inmates dead and the survivors telling stories of brutal rape and torture. The events at Santa Fe, now dubbed one ofthe worst prison riots in U.S. history, could have been prevented. Years of pleas to alleviate incredibleovercrowding, undermanned staff and inhumane conditions fell on the deaf ears of the New MexicoLegislature. The reluctant government left a bomb ticking away at Santa Fe, a bomb that finally exploded last week. If any positive results can come from the New Mexico riot, the American penal system willbe in for a shakedown. The volatile conditions at Santa Fe exist in federal and state penitentiariesthroughout this country, but the public and the governments it elects have ignored the problem foryears. Quite simply, the U.S. prison system is a failure. Attempts at rehabilitation and restitution have brought few results, and if anything, prison conditions have worsened over the past decade. Severalfactors have contributed to this disaster. An increase in poor, unemployed males, mostly blacks,andHispanics, is partially responsible for an increase in crime. Recent "get tough" public policies aresending even minor offenders to jail. The results are overcrowding of almost every penitentiary in theUnited States. Prisons now crowd two or more convicts into cells designed for single occupancy. Inmany cases, the prisoners are not segregated according to the seriousness of their offenses. ' Living insuch close proximity is conducive to homosexual rape, violence and scheming, all commonplace inmost prisons. But while the number of convicts increases, the capacity of work programs andeducation programs do not. This leaves many prisoners idle, and with no constructive way to spendtheir time, tempers often flare. In addition, expanding staffs do not follow expanding convict populations.This puts an even worse burden on guards, and brutality to inmates results on many occasions. . The few guards that do control prisoners are generally under-paid, under-trained (especially in riot tactics)and poorly screened for their psychological strength. Penitentiaries in the United States have a 50percent turnover in guard staff annually, according to Corrections Magazine. Guards, however, are notsympathetic to the plights'of overcrowding and violence. Their unions complain that every timeprisoners gain more rights, guards lose them. This vicious circle of guards arid inmates getting nowhereis just as prominent in Washington as in any other state. Riots and lockdowns at Walla Walla andMonroe only exemplify the urgent need for state funds to ease worsening tensions. But a solution lies far beyond Gov. Dixy Lee Ray's planned expansion at Monroe. What is needed is a nationwide plan toincrease spending to train and employ staff, to increase the number and efficiency of work programs and to narrow indeterminate sentences (thus giving inmates a more definite release date). Separatingprisoners by their crimes and counseling them individually also will help, as will keeping first-timeminor offenders out of jails and in parole programs. The decision to try rehabilitation should be left tothe individual. The idea that psychological change can be coerced has held back progress for years,the opinion of many prison reformers. It can only be hoped that future slaughters, like the one in NewMexico, can be prevented by immediate attention (and increased funding) to American prisons. Untilthen, the inhumanity we fight in other nations will remain in our own backyard. —Leita McintoshEditorial Policy Staff Opinions expressed in editorials reflect those of the Western Front and notnecessarily those of the university or the student body.

Blair equatesaggressive acts of humanity with a green plant's natural tendency to compete for sunlight. I am neitheran anthropologist nor a biologist, but it is with a firm degree of confidence that I point out to Blair andothers that babies are not born with guns in their hands. We must accept the fact that children aretaught to hate, kill and destroy — sometimes at a very early age. And, as far as I know, not once has a green plant had to be instructed on the finer points of photosynthesis. Perhaps aggression is sointertwined with our culture that Blair has mistaken it as a "fact of life." Whatever the case, torationalize a potentially doomsday confrontation with the Soviet Union on this faulty premise andbecause "someone has served before us," is reasoning of which we should be especially leery. Blairsummed it up pretty well when he stated, "Know it or not, we have something. Let's not lose it." RonHeiman War beginnings Western Front: In talking with students around campus I find that the majorityof students do not understand the seriousness of the situation posed by President Carter's request toreinstate registration for the draft. Few realize that throughout American history every time there hasbeen registration there has been a draft. Every time there has been a draft there has been a war. Theadministration of this country is mentally gearing us up for a war that there is not yet a need for. America is supposed to be a leader in war and in peace. Why doesn't the administration respond as calmly andas peacefully as we have with the Iranian situation. Let us lead Western Europe anJ the world in exactlywhat we stand for: peace. Let us exhaust every other alternative before we consider war. Fewstudents realize that this draft will affect them. Putting them in the position of killing or of being killed.President Carter's proposed registration will not allow student deferments. Students can and will bedrafted while in college. Canada, a traditional' haven for those who have declined service, will no longergive refuge to those that refuse the draft. Registration will not just involve going to the post office andfilling out a form. Registration will begin the administrative move towards war readiness. That will involvethe setting up of courts to prosecute draft dodgers, security commissions to investigate un-American activities and a military build-up. Registration will be an irreversible step towards war, andone we must stop now. The most effective means of stopping registration will be to not participate. It willshow President Carter that we will not support American involvement in the Middle East. Involvementnow is the best way to make people aware of what registration will mean to them. We are now facedwith a situation that is more urgent than any since the war in Vietnam. We must become active and stop the war mechanism before it starts. Become aware of what this situation will mean if we do not stop itnow. Tom Bentson Scientific smack Weitern Front: Where, oh where will objectivity lead us next in ourcontinuing effort to rid the English language of all meaning? I refer to an article published recently in theFront concerning "cohabitation." Apparently, in an effort by Front reporters to avoid either glamorizing orcondemning the practice, the word "cohabitation" was chosen in lieu of more common phrases such as"living together," "taking a lover," or, heaven forbid, "shacking up," used in ordinary conversation todescribe the relationship. Fair enough. "Cohabitation" does indeed have that certain scientific smack, a sterility, an objective ring. Its connotations are neither bitter nor delicious. In short, it's safe. Whatpictures spring to mind when I tell you I have "cohabited"? Can you see my home, my lifestyle, my"cohabitant"? It is my hope that no personal relationship can ever be described by the word "cohabit." Itsuggests, at best, a vague, spatial relationship. "Cohabiting" is what happens when a limpet and abarnacle both attach to the same tide pool pebble. It is a non-dimensional word. I suggest nexttime you include a few particulars to help me understand this cohabitation trend. Specifically, I'd like to know whether we're talking about symbiotic, asymbiotic, or parasitic relations — that sort of thing.Does the Front wonder why those particular stories generated little or no reader response in thiscolumn? I have an idea. In a word, "cohabitation." Cindy Kaufman On ideals . . . Western Front: I amresponding to the letters of Jonathan Blair and Ben Slater, published in the Front on Feb. 8, both ofwhich urge us to abandon our ideals and face war realistically. Mr. Blair makes the valid point thataggression is an essential fact of life and that all living things 'must compete to survive. However, when dealing with reality, one must also consider counter-forces. The complement of competition iscooperation, and this too is a necessity for survival. In observing plants and animals, you will noticethat those with the highest degree of cooperation have the greatest chances of survival; since theircombined efforts are far more capable of attaining their common needs. This principle is the basis ofhuman civilization and the primary source of power behind the United States of America. There are still innumerable forms of competition among the people of this country, but we've realized that they cannotbe solved by violence and bloodshed if we are to TRC l-tt^D IT, Dou6f achieve our common goals. Iwould like to propose that we are all citizens of Earth, and if you ignore the artificial boundaries whichsegregate us, we're all human beings with exactly the same needs. Mr. Blair also tells us that "Peaceis only an ideal" because "it does not exist in any pure form." Is an ideal, then, that which does not exist in a perfect state? One gets the impression from his letter, that the only reality is the state of theeconomy, protecting what we have and acquiring what we desire at a price we choose. I would have to assert that a perfect and permanent state of affluence with unlimited resources is "only an ideal" andhardly one worth killing for. Mr. Slater, on the other hand, has made a serious error of fact in his firstpremise. He claims that the present conflict is totally different than that of Viet Nam, because we areopposing Russian imperialism instead of interceding in another country's civil war. You won't catch Uncle Sam confessing to such a blatant violation of human rights. If you review your history, you will find thatour justification for entering the "police action" in Viet Nam was to counteract aggressive communistimperialism. I must add that Mr. Slater is correct in pointing out that we cannot bring back the 50,000lives lost in Viet Nam, but I don't believe that we've let this "distort our decisions" if we simply learn from our mistakes. How many more American lives must we sacrifice this time for the sake of "Peace withHonor"? How many Afghani families must we slaughter in the process of saving them from people "nomore aggressive than we"? How many thousands of acres must we turn to desolate wasteland in orderto regain control of what it no longer produces? Both of these letters agreed that the problem is tocontrol Russian imperialism. But how can we be so self-righteous and indignant when our majorconcern is "to protect our own interests"? Why is it that so many of our "free world" allies are ruled byU.S.-supported military dictators? Don't you suppose that Russia's politicians also justify themselves asthe liberators of the oppressed victims of imperialism? If indeed we "face reality," it becomesobvious that we will never resolve our conflicts by means of death and destruction . . . there will be nowar to end all wars. War will only end when we cease to struggle for more than our share of the pie.More pie could be made and more of the starving millions fed, if we redirected the money and energypresently wasted on military budgets. The survival and advancement of our species will dependultimately on the collaboration of ALL of its members and the peaceful compromise of its conflicts.Richard Heath Bits Pieces Anti draft rally A rally against draft registration is scheduled for 3 p.m.,today in Red Square.

Friday, February 15, 1980 Moore defends performance oncouncil continued from page 1 not to take a public stand and remain neutral on the recall attempt. Wellsaid three board members have privately assured him they favor the recall movement. He said two others have informed him through Jack Howard they also are in favor. He refused to divulge names. JackHoward, an AS board member, said he will resign his board position if the recall movement is successful. He said he is disgusted by the "gutlessness' of the AS board in its refusal to take a public stand on therecall. In the memo Wells said Moore should resign to spare himself and Wells the "long and somewhatnasty process of recall." Moore said he would not consider resigning as activities councilrepresentative to the AS board. But, he said, he "would consider" stepping down as chairman of theactivities council if it would satisfy him (Wells.)" Wells said he will not accept Moore's partial resignation. Moore said he has not been confronted by Wells with the charges against him. The specific chargesagainst Moore were relayed to him by this reporter . —Gary Lorentson Sandberg stays with SAC TheAS board voted Tuesday . to alwlow student Safety and Security employee Jon Sandberg to remain on the Security Advisory Committee (SAC) despite a possible conflict of interest. The SAC advised andreviews security policies, and reports to R.G. Peterson, director of Security. Committee memberGreg Sobel said he felt that by serving on a committee that had Peterson as an ex-officio member,Sandberg could be affected by a conflict of interest. "We have a right to withdraw a student from acommittee if we feel that he or she is on the committee improperly or is misrepresenting the students'interest," Sobel said. Sandberg discounted Sobel's concern that Peterson's presence on thecommittee would affect his (Sandberg's) actions. "I have disagreed with Peterson in the past. As tospecific conflict of interest, I don't think there is one," Sandberg said. "I" represent a point of view on the committee that is sadly lacking." Peterson has said he feels Sandberg is not a "yes" person and thathe might represent the "best of two worlds." AS President Kathy Walker said Sandberg could have listed his connection with Security when he applied for - the position. Sandberg said he originally applied forthe Housing and Dining committee. He was later assigned to SAC. "1 didn't think it was any of its (AS')business. I didn't know if I'd get the Security job. I was a student before I worked at Security," he said.Alan Cote, board vice-president, said decision-makers always have to deal with conflicts of interestand have to make adjustments. The board discussed whether; the selection procedure should' berevised. Some people said it was unfair to punish one member of one committee. "It's very unfair tosingle me,. out just because I'm an employee of Security," Sandberg said. The board passed amotion asking the Policy Advisory Committee to review policies relating to committee appointments.In other items the board: • stopped an attempt by board member Dave Nightingale to have a jobdescription for the coordinator of the Faculty handbook approved. Nightingale said he felt it wasimperative the position be approved in time to hire a coordinator this spring. "Someone has to startright now. I've done enough," he said. Board member Tom Allen said he wanted a specific proposalbefore he could approve a job description. • approved a guaranteed loan of $1,200 and granted $885 to the Israeli Club for a Holocaust Awareness week April 15-18. Western accountant will appeal dismissal The former accountant for Housing and Dining who was fired last Oct. 30, said he will appeal a decision by the state hearing examiner that affirmed the dismissal. Gregg Wohletz, who worked for Housing forthree years, said last week's ruling by state Hearing Examiner Paul J. Murphy was "totallyinconsistent with the testimony of the proceedings." Wohletz said he could not elaborate on thatstatement except to say, "I am through following administrative procedures." Wohletz said he has hired a Seattle attorney to handle the appeal. Among Western's reasons for Wohletz's dismissal were"unprofessional behavior" and "conduct that could disrupt the entire university," according to a letterWohletz received from University President Paul Ols-. camp Oct. 30. Wohletz has labeled thosecharges "fabricated." He contends his dismissal was a direct result of personal meetings he had withmembers of the Board of Trustees in September. At these meetings, Wohletz said he provided detailson what he thought appeared to be "excessive" profits generated by Housing through fees paid bystudents who lived on-campus during the fiscal years 1977-79. The ruling states Wohletz's actionsviolated directions by his supervisors to "stay within channels." Wohletz had said that lack of activeparticipation by business management forced him to "go over the heads" of management and talk to the trustees. —Steve Valandra Job outlook healthy for business grads Students of Western's College ofBusiness and Economics should do "pretty well' finding jobs after graduation if the economy inWashington state maintains its present strength, said Robert Thirsk, associate director of the CareerPlanning and Placement Center. Louis Lallas, director of the planning center, said it is difficult toaccurately predict how the economy will react to rapid changes in technology and energy. This makes itdifficult to anticipate beyond one or two years how much demand will exist for graduates in business, he said. But Robert Collier, dean of the College of Business and Economics, said a growing demandexists for well-trained business graduates and that the future job outlook for the business field is"excellent." "A smart business major will be in demand forever," Collier said. The Pacific Northwest and especially Whatcom County have a "very bright" economic future, Collier said. This is due to the area'scomparatively inexpensive hydroelectric energy, rich dairy land, wheat crops, timber, large companiessuch as Boeing Co. and location on America's major trade route to Asia, Collier said. "The collectivebusiness field is the second highest in terms of national hiring," with engineering first, Thirsk said. Hesaid about 90 percent of the business college graduates who establish a credential file with theplanning center find a job in business, starting anywhere from $12,000 to $14,400 a year. Collier notedthat Western cannot fill all the job requests it receives for office administration graduates, which pay$18,000 to $20,000 a year. Business college graduates generally start with entry level positionsand then advance within companies, Thirsk said. "The day when a college graduate can start at a mid-management position is over," he 'said. Thirsk said about 90 percent of Western's business collegegraduates that get jobs in business stay in Washington or Oregon. He said it is a priority for manygraduates to remain in the Northwest, where a high qualilty of life exists, instead of taking a job withpossibly higher pay in an area with a lower quality of life. It is not necessary to major in business to geta job in business, Thirsk said. He said about one-half to two-thirds of the jobs in business do not requirespecialized training. Employers look for those who have an ability to organize people, solve problems, communicate in speech and writing, show leadership and have a broad base of knowledge, notnecessarily in the field of business, Thirsk said. Thirsk added that certain fields such as accountingand economics definitely do require specialized training. Without specialization, jobs are harder to find and not as highly paid, he said. Business college graduates also are more likely candidates formanagement positions, Collier said. Over the last four years, the number of majors and pre-majorsenrolled in the College of Business and Economics has doubled to 1,514, Collier said. He said he ---------- Western Front - 1980 February 15 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 15, 1980 Western Front 5 Helfgott voices optimism on Iran's hostage release planIranian's are finally recognizing that demands for the United States to return the shah areunmanageable, said Leonard Helfgott of Western's history department. Helfgott was commenting onIranian President Abolhassen Bani-Sadr's new compromise formula to release the 50 Americanhostages. The plan excludes the student militants' demands that ex-shah Mohammad Rez Pahlavi bereturned before the hostages are released from the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Helfgott, who spoke on the Middle East in New York l a s t November, s t u d i ed modern Persian history in Iran in 1967-68.Helfgott was the keynote speaker at last month's Iran Symposium at the University of Washington.Helfgott is optimistic about Bani-Sadr's plan. However, the relationship between the student militantsholding the hostages and Iranian government still is unclear, he said. Bani-Sadr's plan was outlined in acopyrighted story in the French newspaper "Le Monde." It would require that the U.S. admit tocommitting a crime with its policy toward Iran during the rule of the ex-shah, pledge never again tointerfere in Iran's affairs and recognize Iran's right to extradite the ex-shah. The plan has to beapproved by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and accepted by the U.S. Helfgott said the ex-shah would beextradited if the Iranian government proved he was a criminal. He said the ex-shah "would have to bedumb enough" to move to a country that would extradite him. The Iranian government could prove theex-shah a criminal, Helfgott said. "He was a brutal dictator who had specific help from the CIA inorder to stay in power," he said. Helfgott questioned whether those in power in Iran can satisfy thenational minorities. He mentioned the Kurds in the west and Azerbalganis in the northwest, whorepresent more than half of Iran's 35 million people. Helfgott said the threat of a Soviet invasion in Iran isremote. But he said the Soviets would try to take advantage of their influence if unstable conditions inIran lead to an attempted secession by any of the national minorities. The hostage drama has affectedthe 1980 presidential campaign, Helfgott said. "It has destroyed Kennedy's candidacy and has shiftedthe focus of the election from serious domestic problems to foreign policy problems," he said. "Thedrama has created an atmosphere of xenophobia, and President Carter is benefitting the most becausehe is able to ignore the domestic issues like unemployment and inflation." —-James Huntington r I2thSt. valley Parkway.

When Dad was real drunk he'd treat usreally nice" but when he was coming out of it he'd knock us across the room at anything," said Anne(not her real name.) Drinking problems and alcoholism, among the most prevalent health problems inAmerica, are highly contagious, not in the physical symptoms, but in the emotional wounds that harmthe family's stability. Although only one family member may drink, the whole family shares the drinkingproblems. Anne said she and her sister and brother "huddled together" and never knew what to expect."His emotional changes were so drastic," she said. She recalls when her.father became so angry oncethat he ripped her coat in half. Her mother did not drink but sometimes took out her frustrations with herhusband's drinking on the kids, Anne said. Between the parents, "we were often beat to the point ofblood and bruises." "When you're little you don't understand. You just know Mommy's upset and she's going to kill you," Anne said, i She said the atmosphere in her home' was one of heavy, quiet tension orboisterous fighting. "I didn't know which was more terrible," she said. Lisa (also a fictional name),one of six children, cannot remember a time when her father did not drink. "When he's sober he's theneatest Dad. When he's drunk, I'm disgusted with him," she said. "He's irrational and can't interrelate ina positive way." Lisa and Anne remember retreating upstairs with their sister and brothers. "It was oursanctuary," Lisa said. Lisa said she remembers being worried and embarrassed when her father came to her basketball games. "He'd yell and scream at the refs and coaches. He's gotten kicked off the field,"she said. Her father used to drink at taverns, but after being in a fight, he started drinking at home. Shesaid she would never take friends home because she didn't know "how things would be." "It is alwaysscary to ride in a car with him," Lisa said. Lisa's father humiliated her mother constantly. "If she wasn't a Catholic, she should have divorced the fool," Lisa said. "I always thought she was weak. Now, I see how strong she is," Lisa said. Anne said even when her father stopped drinking it was hard for her mother torecover emotionally. "Mentally she'd been pulled through a knothole." Anne believes her dad drankbecause he had a low self-image. "With booze his inhibitions would go. He and everybody else wouldsee him as funny." Anne said her older sister tried to "pretend it wasn't real." "When there wasfighting downstairs, she'd read us stories and try to make us feel loved. "My little brother put the blameon himself and thought he was the cause of all the strife," Anne said. Lisa said her 16-year-old brother,Tim, is the most affected. "He's always been the scapegoat, the brunt of all dad's accusations." He justfreezes up and won't talk, she said. Tim decided he didn't want to go to high school and has notattended for two years, Lisa said. With counseling, he has just begun to open up this year. "To make up for his abuse, Dad buys Support group meets Early last December, the Student Life Office sponsored ameeting for students who have a friend, spouse or parent with a drinking problem. It providedinformation about alcohol and alcoholics and explored behaviors and responses to deal effectively withthe problems, Connie Copeland of student life said. "It's very difficult to return home to that kind ofsituation and to deal with what it does to you personally," Tim Douglas, Dean of Students, said.Although only about six or seven people attended, students were able to open up about their ownexperiences in dealing with alcoholism and were able to understand and encourage each other, Cope-land said. They voiced an interest in continuing with "support" sessions. Open to all who are close tosomeone who has a drinking problem, the meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Feb. 20 in VU 408. BevEdwards, a recovered alcoholic of the Community Alcohol Center, will speak. Tim expensive presents wecan't afford." Lisa believes her father, really loves them but "he isn't very demonstrative." She said shealways has felt that she had to achieve and excel so her dad would show his love and feel less heed todrink. "It never seems to work," she said. Lisa's family was afraid to confront their father with his drinking problem, she said, because he got depressed so easily. "We were afraid to push him over the limit,"she said. They were finally able to talk openly with him last Christmas. "He still believes he can quitanytime he wants to," she said. She said he has failed to stay with any type of counseling because hesaid he did not want to pay someone to tell him he is an alcoholic. "He'll acknowledge that he shouldquit, but then makes excuses about pressures at work," she said. Anne's father went throughAlcoholics Anonymous counseling, and now is a recovering alcoholic, although he still has what Annecalls an alcoholic personality. "I realize there are areas I still haven't forgiven him," Anne said. "There'sjust a lot of anger inside." Her father told her alcoholism is the biggest drug problem in the UnitedStates because it's socially accepted and encouraged. "People here (Western) think it's weird Idon't.party," Lisa said. As Lisa and Anne tell their stories, a real patience and hope is apparent in them. "It gets to the point you can't react anymore," Lisa said. —Beth Herman The Leopold RestaurantCompany is pleased to announce a return engagement by the American Review Theatre March 1 and 2 inthe Leopold Ballroom.

Yellow is a dominant color, blendingwith a wide range of tones and hues in the collagraphic prints by Glen Alps, a University of Washingtonart professor and chairman of the printmaking division of that school. His exhibit, "Glen AlpsRetrospective, The Collagraph Idea, 1956-1980," is on display in the Rotunda Room of the WhatcomMuseum until March 2. "Collagraphy,"is a combination of traditional printmaking techniques andcollage. Alps' show is a retrospective, spanning 24 years of printmaking. "This show is very much a part of me. It's my life," he said. On an exhibit like this, Alps said, a person sees himself as he never hasbefore, sometimes wishing he could do things over. Alps' earlier works are in black and white. In laterprints, he experiments with color, especially yellow. In "A Diagonal Color Sequence," spikysections of blues, pinks, red, oranges and yellows stretch across the paper like a caterpillar."COLLAGRAPHY" CREATOR GLEN ALPS describes his technique for printmaking at the WhatcomMuseum Tuesday night (photo by Tom Haynie) In "Three Shapes Descending," flat pentagonal designsseem to float down through a rainbow of colors. The shapes overlap and the colors blend togethercreating an ensemble, a harmony of the parts. "Collagraphy" stems from the French word, "coller,"meaning to glue, and from an English word, "graphic," meaning to draw or paint. "The collagraphdeveloped out of an inner urge to liberate the printmaker from long, ardent hours of plate development,"Alps said. "The time element is a tremendous factor in the creation of an idea. An idea can be created on a collagraph plate very quickly by using build-up techniques." The collagraph is a combination ofideas, thoughts, concepts, printing techniques and the matrix, the collagraph printing plate itself. Alpsuses all types of materials such as tissue paper, sandpaper, foil, coffee grounds, walnut shells,sawdust, ribbon, burlap and leather to create the raised surface on each matrix. An artist of manymedia, Alps created another printing technique with a burnt lacquered plate in 1973.- He also makesembossed prints by hand pressing the paper into a cut-out matrix. The paper is colorless,emphasizing the simple softness of the raised shapes. Alps has created sculptures, drawings,lithographs and silk screens. "I don't consider them techniques. I consider them ideas," he said. Hiswork also is on display at the Northwest Regional Photography and Printmaking Exhibition in theWestern Gallery. —Sue Borter Kung Fu exhibit celebrates Chinese New Year After thanking GeorgeWashington for a Monday off, Western students can return to celebrate New Year's—Chinese style.A celebration of the year of the white monkey with martial art demonstrations and Chinese dances will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Viking Union Lounge.

Seattle used a man-to-man full press in the first half to pressure the Vikingsbut only managed a 46-44 intermission lead. In the second half Seattle changed to a trapping zonepress causing five quick Western turnovers, which Seattle capitalized on for a 58-44 lead. Seattle held the Vikings scoreless for the first four minutes of the second half. Western kept Seattle's lead ataround 10 points until the last four minutes of the half when Seattle jumped ahead by 21 by easilybreaking the Vikings' desperation press. "We expected pressure but we just haven't played muchagainst it, so they (Seattle) took us put of our game," Western Coach Lynda Goodrich said, referring tothe Vikings' fastbreak offense.

The shows were sponsored by Outdoor Program. The program began with abrief introduction to cross-country skiing. The slides were presented and the people with questionswere encouraged to stay. The first trip was to Mount Olympus, the second trip at Ptarmigan Traverseand the final trip to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park, both in Utah. Barnett explained that getting to the summit of Mount Olympus was worth the long hike in. The total trip took only four days, he said."The summer is the best time to go because of no avalanche danger. The danger is eliminated becausethe snow has settled by early summer," Barnett said. The spring trip to Ptarmigan Traverse was full ofproblems, he said. A friend of Barnett's, Dan Hudson, described by Barnett as a The photographicaccount of this trip received "oohs" and "aahs"from the audience because of the snow in the Utahdesert "This trip was too stunning for words.

For the men's team, it is time toend one that has continued far too long. The women saw two 15-game streaks snapped in their 100-79loss at Seattle University Tuesday — a 15-game win streak this season and a 15-game win streak onthe road over the past two seasons. Tonight, the Vikings have a chance to avenge their first loss of theseason, a 86-67 setback to Portland State on Dec. 8. "We've been looking forward to this one," Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "When they beat us here, the team didn't feel it played that well." Portland Statestands at 8-11, including a 74-68 defeat of Seattle University last week. Western is now-17-2 and ranked 14th in the AIAW Division II poll. Tomorrow night, the women take on the University of Portland Pilots, a Northwest Empire League (NEL) foe. Portland is 14-6 overall and 4-4 in the NEL. Western currentlyleads the NEL with a 9-0 mark and has won its league games by an average margin of 34 points. Themen's team is seeking to halt a nine-year basketball drought at Eastern Washington Saturday night.The game is critical to Western's hopes of hosting an opening-round playoff game. The Eagles arecurrently second, just ahead of Western, in the NAIA District I points race. "Over the past twoweeks I felt that, step-by-step, we were getting closer as a team and playing better defense," CoachChuck Randall said. "If there is a time to come together, this is it." The Vikings edged Eastern 75- 68 in Carver Gym in January, Ron Durant was honored as one of the "Players of the Week" in theWashington Intercollegiate Basketball Association for his 30- point night vs. St. Martin's last Friday.Durant shared the award with Eastern Washington forward Tony Barnett. overcoming a 21-point game by forward Vic White. A few days later, White was suspended for the remainder of the year by headCoach Jerry Krause. The Eagles have an 8-3 home mark, including wins over nationally- rankedCentral Washington (16th in the NAIA poll) and the University of Puget Sound (12th in the NCAA Division II poll). Monday night, the Vikings encounter the Lewis and Clark State Warriors, who gave Westernits first win of the season, 92-8/ in Bellingham on Dec. 8. The Warriors are 6-15 on the season and areled by guards Mandy Simmons (16 points per game) and Jackie Wycoff (16 points per game). "Their (L-C State) homecourt gives them, a definite advantage," Randall commented. "We had trouble with themon our own floor (41 lead changes and 17,ties) when we pjayed fairly well." —Craig A.

"People have survived the tough part of the year. They know they're not going toflunk out. The weather changes. People get excited. That will be the real test," Guy said. Although noformal policy change has been made regarding on-campus parties, Guy said attempts have been madeto "calm down" the campus this year through "preventive measures," which include re-examining theroles of residence hall staff. "The reality is that we aren't providing residence hall housing for parties,"Guy said. "It doesn't mean there are more problems this year, it just means we're dealing with themearlier." Residence hall staff have been instructed specifically not to attend any dorm parties orgatherings where drinking is going on, and have taken on a more authoritative role, Guy said. "Wearen't paying the staffers to be friends, although their primary relationship with residents is a helpingone," he said. Part of the reason for the tightening up of existing regulations is the dorms are at fullcapacity and turned students away fall quarter, Guy said. He explained "We really don't need, out of anyeconomic necessity, to keep people around who don't conform to good standards of behavior." Guy said certain dorms have reputa- "The reality is that we aren't providing residence hall housing for parties/9 tions as party places. "In some cases, it's not a healthy reputation. You keep getting people who aremainly interested in parties. After a while it just builds on itself," he said. Guy cited Beta, Gamma, Kappa and Higginson as problem buildings, and said that Residence Life's efforts to quiet those dorms havebeen successful. "I had more conduct cases early in the year than before," Guy said. "We wanted tomake it clear from the beginning with students that we're going to get on top of that kind of thing (rowdybehavior) real quick." Guy said he had more informal conduct discussions with students early • in theyear than in previous years. "If we can't control our own scene, then someone else will control it for us,"Guy said. "We've had dissatisfied students in the past who don't like the constant noise and parties. Ihaven't heard any protests from students that we're cracking down. I think I can infer from that that someeven feel better about it." —Rudy Yuly Legality of IUDs questioned Does life begin at conception? Ifthe anti-abortion people reach their goal, even the use of an intra-uterine device (IUD) will be illegal, saidDeejah Sherman-Peterson of the National Abortion Rights Action League. Speaking Monday in theViking Union, Sherman-Peterson said the ultimate goal of the anti-abortion people is to see theHuman Life Amendment passed. This defines life as beginning at conception and makes abortion andthe use of the IUD illegal. This device takes effect after conception, Sherman-Peterson said. Sherman-Peterson^ active for six years in the pro-choice movement and a mother of two, said the league is apolitical organization; It lobbies at the state and national levels for legislation to insure legal abortionsfor all women, educates the public about abortion and publishes a newsletter. Washington chaptersare in Tacoma, Spokane and the Tri- Cities, she said. This year the league's efforts are focused onImpact 80, a plan to encourage voter registration and to organize campaigns throughout the nation toelect pro-choice politicians, Sherman-Peterson said. She noted that "pro-choice" does not mean "pro-abortion," but the right to choose either adoption, single-parenthood, marriage or abortion. TheSupreme Court ruled in 1973 that a woman has the right to choose an abortion, but by 1982 that rightmay be denied, Sherman-Peterson said. Although a 1979 Gallup Poll showed that almost 80 percent ofAmericans believe abortion should remain legal, she said an opposing minority is politically active andmay gain the power to have the Human Life Amendment passed. "There is no doubt in my mind it will be passed if elections don't go our way," she stated. The anti-choice group has already succeeded inprohibiting most Medicaid abortions, she said, which means that a poor woman who can't afford anabortion will be forced to have the child. It costs taxpayers about $200 to fund an abortion as opposedto $2000 for hospitalization and delivery of a baby, she added. If abortion becomes a crime, Sherman- Peterson said, the mortality rate of women and babies will soar. Women will resort to dangerous andunsanitary abortions, and pregnancies sequentially too close together are risky for the children as well as the mother, she said. Unwanted children are often victims of abuse, Sherman-Peterson added.—Trade Hornung 12 Western Front Friday, February 15, 1980 The Western Front Draft registrationdecried An "angry young man" organized a forum Tuesday night so people could begin to understand the implications of President Carter's call for the reinstatement of draft registration. The forum included agroup of singers from Fairhaven college, speakers, an open-mike discussion and the movie "Hearts andMinds." Thomas Belfield, 26, a graduate of Fairhaven college, was the organizer. Songs popular with theantiwar movement of the '60s and 70s were sung to introduce the forum. The opinions of the speakersand audience varied. Howard Harris, Western anthropology professor, talked about commitment tototal pacificism. He said he registered as a conscientous objector in October, 1940, when the firstpeacetime draft began. Harris said he believed registration is not separate from the draft and totalpacificism is a rational and religious means of resistance. "If we can resist the first step it will make iteasier to resist the rest," Harris said. Bill Sodt, a former Marine and past member of Campus ChristianMinistry (CCM), said registration is the last thing the United States needs. He said he could notunderstand the reasons for reinstatement of registration but has an idea what they might be. "For what reasons 1 know not, except for economic and political expediency," he said. Sodt agreed with Harristhat registration is a prelude to the draft, and described it as "abhorrent to the United States." He saidboth sets of his grandparents left Europe in the 1890s because of peacetime drafts. He said his "anger,passion, hostility and disillusionment toward the (present) political situation" made it hard for him tospeak. He said the president is using the draft as a political expediency to get himself re-elected. MaryBeth O'Neill and Don Werner, from CCM, said the religious organization was offering three types ofcounseling services, information about what is happening and when, personal moral evaluation andhelp with establishing a record of conscientous objection to war. O'Neill said, "America has a shortmemory." She said she objected to the immediate reaction of many persons to problems occurring in the world. "Let us not think first of the military solution. That shouldn't even be on the list," she said.—Barbara JarvisPPPPP
