Vol. 75,No. 42 Search for dean to be nationwide By Seth Preston A university search committee will beginlooking for a new dean for the College of Arts and Sciences in mid-October, Vice President forAcademic Affairs James Talbot said Monday. The committee—which has yet. to be formed—willreview both external and internal applications, Talbot said. An advertisement and job description will appear in national trade publications about Oct. 15. "It's a national search. We determined that quiteawhile ago," he said. External applications will be accepted despite past protests from a few facultymembers within the college. Dean James Davis, who resigned in April, had been brought to Westernfrom Central Michigan University in 1974. After resigning, Davis took up a full-time teaching position inthe political science department. Some faculty members voiced their concerns about possiblereductions in staff or.work hours in case such an event is repeated with another outside dean. "Well,they didn't tell me that... we do national searches for faculty members all the time," Talbot responded. Peter Elich, current acting dean of the college, said last week he plans to be a candidate for thepermanent position. "I haven't run across anything while I've been here (as dean) to discourage me, and I haven't got the feeling externally from faculty that I'm not wanted," Elich said, adding he felt a currentWestern employee should be chosen as the next dean. "I'm not suggesting that I'm the one who should be chosen, but I feel there's a lot of talent within the university to fill that slot," he said. "I think you need to go outside if you feel there's something really wrong and need a fresh outlook. There's no need todramatically change the College ofArtsandSciencesor the university." But Talbot disagreed, saying, "Idon't think things have to be wrong to get a fresh perspective— but I'm not necessarily advocatingchoosing .an outsider. The important thing, obviously, is from time to time to get someone new toprovide stimulus." "There's some excellent people whoapplied last'timerandl know" there are some whodidn't apply because it was only an acting position," Elich said. The temporary status restricts theacting dean, he explainedJt's unlikely a program spanning several years would be formed if the deancreating it would not be in Registration began 8 a.m. Sept 19 with a few anxious moments as a weekendwind storm-knocked out the air conditioning in the Computer Center.

Vice President for Activities KevinLohman said his position isn't necessarily for drinking, but for "responsible drinking." "There's been a lotof concerns about drunk driving on campus, and that would be one way of trying to alleviate that,"Lohman said. Lohman said he is prepared to discuss the ramifications of an on-campus pub with theadministration, as well as with students and the community. He has many ideas, but as yet neither aliquor license or location have been obtained. The question of a campus polling place for municipaland general elections has been an issue for nearly three years. In last spring's AS elections, though,the students approved a referendum, which established popular support for the idea. Because of a law that doesn't allow precinct boundary changes within 30 days of election filing time, Western can'texpect a polling place until after the November elections. Peter Griffin, a Whatcom County electiondeputy and a candidate for the position of Whatcom County Auditor, the position responsible for thework in the event of a precinct change, said, "What it amounts to is the job (precinct change) must bedone between January and June." In terms of election administration, he said, it is advisable to have a polling place on campus. But he noted it's nothing that can be changed in a week or two, and it is notan in-expensive ordeal. He is looking at a campus polling place in terms of serving everyone, notjust students. He said a polling place that is easily accessible is a consideration, and a pollingplace in the Viking Union Sasquatch room is easily accessible to not only students, but to residentswho would use the facilities. Griffin is running against incumbent Joan Ogden in this election.Ogden could not be reached for comment. Dan Pike, AS vice president for external affairs, said he istrying to get a large student turnout to demonstrate that students do vote. A registration table is set upin vendors' row in the VU plaza' from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Oct. 8, which is the last day to register forthe November election. The drive to create a greater turnout, Pike said, is' to show whoever is electedthat the student voice is legitimate. A Finals Preparation Week policy that would give students oneweek before finals without any graded assignments to prepare for tests, was approved by the AcademicCoordinating Commission late last spring. It has yet to go before the Faculty Senate, which meetsOct. 10. At this point, the board hasn't voiced a plan of action for the ref-erendums that dealt with thedevelopment of a new towing policy, or gathering more student input of campus art. Both of theseissues have AS representatives at the appropriate committees. Although Pat Angus was approved tosit on the Art Acquisitions Advisory Committee, the position for the Parking and TransportationCommittee still is open. It is the job of these representatives to carry the student opinions to thecommittee meetings. majors get first pick of classes By Jeff Kramer •Some students were"cruelly shocked'' when they tried to register for upper-division business courses last week only to find them closed to most non^majors. But the Dean of College of Business and Economics said therestrictions will help the college plan more effectively in the future by forcing business students todeclare their majors early. The decision to give business majors preference in selecting the popularupper-division business courses was announced last spring, but many students reportedly found out the hard way when they signed up for fall classes. "Some students didn't get the word and they werecruelly shocked when they showed up for registration," CBE Dean Dennis Murphy said earlier thisweek. • See Business/page 2 Western squashed in home opener p. 15 Enjoy fall at the beach p.13 Recalling the best of an elder era p. 8 ---------- Western Front - 1983 September 30 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, September 30,1983 Friends help prof By Kathy Abbott Most students meet atleast one teacher they like and become Mends with. Very few students are so impressed with aninstructor that they would go out to raise funds to send him to Europe for a conference. Claude Hill ofthe technology department, specializing in plastics, is described by some of his students asexemplary. Wayne R. Stearns, a senior in manufacturing and engineering technology, said "He (Hill) isvery interested in the plastics field and conveys that excitement to students. He gets everyoneinterested and involved." Ken Jett, an industrial technology major with an emphasis on plastics,said three things stick in his mind about Hill's classes; demonstration products and materials, field trips, and Hill's up-to-date knowledge of current trends in the industry. Students interviewed said Hill makesan effort to explain why a product is good or bad. He tries to help students understand why productswork. Some students were looking for a way to say thank-you for all his extra effort. Last April noticecame out about the K'83 Plastics Trade Show scheduled for October 4 through 13 in Dusseldorf,Germany. The K stands for Kunstoff and Kautschuk, the German words for plastics and rubber. Hillhad expressed an interest in going. The conference, put on once every four years, will include state ofthe art technology such as molding techniques and the latest information on product design anddevelopment. Seminars on robotics, automation, the Classes filled with majors Business, frompagel Murphy stressed that course restrictions were necessary to prevent declared business majorsfrom being squeezed out of essential classes by non-majors who were registering first. "We hadstudents not even eligible to be majors taking upper-division c o u r s e s ," Murphy said. Currently,students who wish to major in business must complete a series of prerequisite courses and have atleast 75 credits before declaring. Not all non-majors will be barred from the business classes, however.Murphy pointed out that students in other disciplines requiring business courses will be accommodated. "We have no intention of trying to exclude persons in other majors who need certain business andaccounting courses," Murphy said. Those students will have the same standing as CBE majors atregistration. The number of students who have stepped forward and declared themselves businessmajors has increased since the new policy was announced, Murphy said. He called the development a"good side effect" because it will be easier for the business department to schedule classes in thefuture. Murphy urged all serious business students to avoid registration hassles in the future bydeclaring their major as soon as possible. use of plastics in electronics, transportation, aerospace, inthe medical field and communications also will take place. Stearns, current president of the campuschapter of the Society of Plastics Engineers, said, "a group of students were sitting around after ameeting in Seattle discussing how interesting it would be to go. Then the idea came up about getting the money to send Hill." "We didn't tell anyone, especially Hill, what we were planning," he said. Thestudents started by writing a proposal stating the benefit, both to the school and industry, of sending Hill to the conference. It gave a $4,000 goal to cover costs. We weren't sure we could pull it off," said MaryEnglund, a graduat e of the technology department. Stearns said they went to the large professionalsocieties for engineers in the plastics field. "We started with the national organizations then went to theSeattle chapters. They were supportive of the idea, but most had no funds allocated for suchprograms. We did get a donation from the Seattle chapter of the Society of Plastics Engineers. Wealso got a list of the companies t h a t b e l o n g e d to t he organization." "We tried to concentrate onthe companies that employ Western graduates," he said. Englund said, "We have about $2,200 for thetrip. We, the students, made reservations for the Technology professor Claude Hill will travel to aplastics conference in Germany courtesy of the efforts of some students. conference itself. Hill will begone for two weeks. He is taking care of the rest of the arrangements." Hill first learned about thestudents' effort in August. Stearns and Englund said they Hill got home from vacation on a Sundayand opened the letter. were afraid Hill was going on vacation and might need time to arrange for hispassport and other things. They decided to write him a letter to tell him about the money they hadraised. He said, "It was quite a surprise We all (Stearns, Englund and Hill) got together Monday andtalked over the arrangments." Some companies that contributed were Heath Tecna, Kent, Grant andRoth Plastics, Hills-buro, Ore., and Allsop, Bellingham, Funds given The Canadian and Canadian-American Studies Center has been awarded a $7,347grant from the Canadian Department of ExternalAffairs for participation in the annual meeting of the National Council for the Social Studies. Theconference, expected to draw more than 3,000 public school teachers from across the country, will beNov. 23-26 in San Francisco, said Robert Monahan, director of the center. A major portion of the grantwill be used to prepare copies of three "Study Canada" curriculum guides, developed at Western, for distribution to teachers attending the meeting, Monahan said. Western faculty will join representatives from Duke University, State University of New York at Plattsburgh and Michigan State University in aneffort to "increase the knowledge and understanding of Canada in the United States," he said.Recycling Center looks for trash Because only 10 percent of campus wastepaper is collected andrecycled, the Associated Students Recycle Center has adopted a policy that all Western faculty,students and staff recycle when possible, Peedy Witter, of the recycle center, said. The centeris on thelookout for everyone's scrap paper, cardboard boxes, old love letters, empty beer bottles, cans andcartons and any other metal, glass or paper that is thrown away in the dumpster. Green recyclingbarrels are at the entrances of nearly every dorm and building on campus. Students should put onlypaper products in the barrels and place glass and metal materials to the side. The recycle center picksup recyclables four times weekly, at a different section of campus each time. Witter encouragedeveryone to think each time they take out the trash that most of what they are throwing out can berecycled.

"We're going to go with some of our dreams/'Grant said, "some of those ideas we've all had." High on Grant's list of priorities is the campus pubreferendum that passed with student favor in last spring's election. Grant said a campus pub would be a positive addition to Western. It would be a good place to go without having to drive. But the biggestproblem with a campus pub is the community relationships. The way we're going to deal with that,he said, it to show how it has worked on other campuses. The reason Grant has focused on thecampus pub referendum as an issue to be dealt with is because of the overwhelming support for the idea on the ballots. Grant also has considered working more with the athletic department. "I think that it isdefinitely an area of interest and a lot of participation is involved." At Tuesday's AS Board meeting,Jon Sitkin, secretary/treasurer, volunteered to help Grant develop ideas to be exchanged with membersof the athletic department. It's coordination we're looking at, Grant said. He cited scheduling of ASsponsored events with Dean's job open to varied applicants • Dean, from page 1 candidate, heexplained. A senior administrator, such as another Western dean, will head the search committee,Talbot said. The other xnembers will be instructors from the College of Arts and Sciences. "They're theones who know, or should know, what's going on within theicollege," Talbot said. Elich-who Talbot called the "overwhelming choice for the acting position" will continue in that role until a permanent dean ishired. The position should be filled in time for the 1984-85 school year, Talbot said, "although searcheshave been known to be unsuccessful."

Activities, however, are not the only things Grant hopes to accomplish this year. Grantsaid he'd like to make available information about where students' money is going, and services they can receive. The AS president said he feels it is important that students know what they are paying for. Heprovided an example of that type of service. Currently three pamphlets are available in the AS office thatdescribe the functions of the Associated Students. They are: Councils and Committees, A.S. ResourceServices, and A Look at the Associated Students Board of Directors. Communication and presentinginsights to clear up any misunderstandings is what Grant said he's interested in. "I'd like to support abetter link between the Board of Trustees, the students and the campus," he said. "They make so many important decisions and it is an area that needs work." As far as problems go, Grant said he thinksan attitude of individualism and unacceptance on campus is prominent. "I'm not sure if theunacceptance is due to new students in a new environment, or just a new attitude." But Grant said he would like to portray the campus as a place to meet other people. AS to compile draft info By DavidWasson At the first Associated Students Board meeting of this academic year the board asked the ASLegal Information Center to write a pamphlet on the current status of the Selective Service Act. Thepamphlet would be designed to help students recognize their rights and responsibilities concerningquestions they might have about receiving financial aid and draft registration. The request for thepamphlet came from AS Secretary/Treasurer Jon Sitkin, but the item was put on the agenda by VicePresident for Internal Affairs Ron Bens-ley and Vice President for External Affairs Dan Pike. Theitem was prompted by a memo from Fort Steilacoom Community College, which made -a policystatement condemning students who were eligible for draft registration but did not register. Western'sAS Board did not make a policy statement of its own, but instead took action to make all informationconcerning the selective service available to students. Bensley said, "We'd like to see draft informationavailable to all students so they can make intelligent and informed decisions." In other matters, ASPresident Dana Grant said activities such as dances could be coordinated with athletic events in thehopes that both the Associated Students and the athletic department would benefit. Hopefully we cando some things to rally support, maybe as soon as this fall, but winter quarter for sure, Grant said.Another item intended to gather support was introduced by Director-at-Large, Communications PeterRamsey. Ramsey said he will report back to the board next week concerning readerboards that wouldbe used to advertise the time and location of each week's board meeting. Grant suggested a "thought for the day" could be on the reader-boards along with the time of the meetings. Another Ramsey proposalconcerned making the director-at-large for communications a member of the Legislative andCommunity Affairs Council instead of the public information officer. That item was tabled until the nextmeeting so the board would have a chance to look it over. Vice President for Academic Affairs SorenRyherd submitted his nominations for committee members in governance positions. The boardapproved each of Ryherd's nominations. The new members are: Bruce Keith, Academic CoordinatingCommission; Dan Pike, Publications Council; Pat Angus, Art Acquisitions Advisory Committee;George Sidles, Academic Coordinating Commission; Michael Boardman, Academic Grievance Counciland the General University Requirement Council; John Saunders, Security Council; Sheryl McCraken,Housing Appeal Board and Activities Council; Barbara Rojkar, Graduate Council; Jon Sitkin, Artists and Lectures Committee; Jack Martin, Activities Council; and Carol Pohl, Art Acquisitions AdvisoryCommittee. The next AS Board meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday in viking Union 219. A sign-upsheet for people who wish to address a particular topic is located in the AS office. tiiiiiiin • * + • * *+ •* + * - * - * * . » • • lt; + . * * * , « * « « * « * « * * * * • * « imimm THEWESTERN FRONT WANTS YOU...

Specifically, the AS Board should be discussing the mandate given it by student voters from thereferen-dums of last spring's AS elections. One item board members seem to b e interested in is thequestion of a campus pub. Students, even though few bothered to vote, overwhelmingly favored the idea.And while it is debatable whether the AS board can promote "responsible, drinking,'' the boardnonetheless was given the mandate to pursue the establishment of an on-campus pub. The boardalso was told to bring to Western a polling place for municipal and general elections. It must continueto pursue this matter and not let city a n d county politicians damp its determination. Finals Prep Week,which would prohibit tests and assignments in the week of classes before finals unless students werenotified of t h em by the fifth week of the quarter, now is out of t h e Associated Students' hands. TheFaculty Senate, however, should remember students favored the prep week. While positions forAssociated Students appointees exist for the Art Aquisitions Advisory Committee and Parking andTransportation Committees, the AS Board should remember these positions existed last year whenstudents called for a better voice in art aquisition and changes in Western's towing policies. The ASBoard must not treat the referendums lightly. After all, it was those same voters who put board membersin the positions they now sit. Senate race • Score card, please Earlier this month a newspaper ad fort he Dan Evans campaign began, "As your U.S. Senator, I will b e guided by my conscience, mycountry, and my state, in that order." His party didn't make t h e list; in fact, his party didn't make thead. This caused ihe state Democratic chairwoman to ask if Evans was ashamed of being a Republican.Evans' campaign press secretary explained they merely forgot to identify his party affiliation. Fortunately,they remembered to list the office he was running for, a n d came out strongly for jobs, equality, peaceand freedom. Evans' campaign press secretary later promised that future ads would contain thecandidate's party affiliation. That might comfort the Democrats a little, who would also like to see himstop using campaign brochures that picture him with leading Democrats. Actually, poor Dan Evans iscaught in a squeeze. The Democrats keep telling him to act like a Republican, while his chief primaryfoe, Lloyd Cooney, insists Evans would be more comfortable as a Democrat. Perhaps the voters wouldbe n.ore comfortable if Evans were a Democrat. That would mean he wouldn't add to the Republicanmajority in the Senate. That's the point his Democratic opponents, Charles Royer and Mike Lowry, not to mention various candidates of the "indigent party," would like to drive home. Party identification, orlack thereof, may determine the winner in this race for U.S. Senator.

Con texting Reagan i Time runs down for all By Shaun McClurken Prediction: When thefuture has time to assess its past, the Reagan Administration—and particularly its role in shapingthat future—will be seen as a small rule of no great contribution; the last gasp of a dying ideologybefore the shifting tides of time close over its head. True, the Reaganauts have caused some littlecommotion in their own time, but without a great vision of an ideal human future or clear perception ofthe real present, they can make trouble but no lasting difference. This is not to say we in the presentmay ignore the activities of Our Man in the White House. The trouble he is making now can be veryserious indeed, and the longer he continues, the more cleaning-up we must do later. It needn't be thisway. We need not endure nonsense, and Reagan need not go down in history as someone who onlybarely got down in history. The vacuum of the future is filled by our actions in the present; for a livablefuture in the next century, we must get right to work. Our great-grandchildren, and all theirs, too, willthank us. What a tragedy one of the most radical acts in recent history (the formation of the UnitedStates of America, with its Constitution and Bill of Rights, individual autonomony and government at thesufferance of the people) should in only 200 years devolve into the present slaggy heap of pettyineffectuality. The economy, the Communists, the environment, foreign policy, internal policy—ourgovernment is wrong on all of them. The revolutionary aspect of the U.S. government has been the right of the governed to address (and redress) the policies ruling their lives. This is only fair, since we inflictthose people and policies on ourselves. Sometimes we simply inflict with more vim and venom thanothers. Nearly three years, now, and after the initial flurry of Right Radical successes, the grace period is over. Reagan's effectiveness is blunted, his looks and charm perhaps more rough-edged. He will soonlook much like his predecessor. Someone at America's head soon must start thinking big. A world leader leads best by offering a clear advantage over alternative creeds to prospective followers—awarenessof and concern for the whole picture. Represented by our great corporations (Coca- Cola) and portrayedby our dubbed TV shows ("Dallas," "The Love Boat"), America' deserves the head-shaking. No,change will not come swiftly. No, we will not get easy cooperation from the Communists—or even theThird World. No, nothing in place now offers any real people any lasting human value, though surely theworld can wait no longer. No, Ronald Reagan was never the man for the job. The United States 200 years ago led a revolution in human thought. It can do so again, and must do so to survive in any form worldcitizens will respect. Boor to boor salesmen J The weird prey on bewildered By Shelly McKedy In 1492the Spaniards kicked the Moors out of Spain. In 1778 the American colonists booted the British back to Europe. But in 1983, I am still trying to beat back an endless stream of door-to-door salesmen from my front porch. For decades, Americans have endured the excesses of these nomadic peddlers, oftenresembling models for Rodney Dangerfield leisure wear. Their doorstep appeals usually go something like this: A misty 8 a.m. Doorbell rings. Door opens. Salesman: "Good morning." Resident: "Ungh, 'hro."Salesman: "My name is Fred Moe. I'm an advertising representative of Acme Products, Inc., out ofTerra Haute, Ind., here today to tell you about our new puddle jumpers. Our research of this areaindicates Bellingham receives plentiful rainfall. To avoid being just another drowned Bellinghamster,don't you honestly think having your own personalized pair of our specially-designed puddle jumpers,absolutely free of charge and with no obligation, would make you a better person?" Resident: "Well,uh..." The resident is stuttering for the right words at such an ungodly hour for some nut wearing tall tincans strapped to his feet. Salesman: "Millions of satisfied customers swear by the magic of Acmepuddle jumpers. Yes, you too can take advantage of our special in-home offer. Try them for two hours and see for yourself why every red-blooded American positively needs his very own pair of puddle jumpers tocomplement everything he wears. Why, the wonder of technology is yours for the taking. Just look foryourself. Two sleek, streamlined, triple-industrial strength aluminum cans attached to durable, polygriprope. Our puddle jumpers come specially equipped with ghetto blasters inside and as an added bonuscan be personally monogrammed. All this can be yours for just 16 low monthly payments. We even havea student rate—" Resident: "Yes, well I don't think—" Salesman: "Wait! And there's more! Our beautiful puddle jumpers come in two sizes and are guaranteed to be rust-free for at least 28 days. It's really asuper..." By now at least 15 minutes have passed and the resident feels like Chewbacca losing a chessgame. Resident: "NO THANK YOU!" Resident slams and bolts door. Exhausted, the resident decides to rest for a few minutes and forget the ordeal. However, before the first cup of coffee is poured, the doorbell rings. The resident opens the door and is confronted by a polyester and plaid person wearing apsychedelic umbrella in his head. "Good morning. My name is Ted Poll. I'm an advertisingrepresentative..." ---------- Western Front - 1983 September 30 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, September 30,1983 Western Front 5 Facing great loss By Jeff Kramer I'm losing my father.Literally. No, he's not sick, and he hasn't disowned me—at least not yet. It's far more serious than that. He's on a diet. A few months ago, my once-portly Pop was showing signs of middle age much the wayan over-inflated balloon shows signs of popping. His outstanding feature was a beach ball-sized bellypropped up by an old trans- Atlantic telephone cable he used for a belt. He had a figure only Greenpeacecould love. As unhealthy as his condition was, however, there were advantages. As long as Dadretained his heft, it meant he was successfully resisting my mother's attempt to impose a dieteticdictatorship on the whole family. For years he fought off the rebel forces of wheat germ flakes and proteinpowders, much to the delight of my brother and I. Mom would plop down a pile of unsweetened, unsalted, cholesterol-free low-calorie bran disks for supper, at which Dad would say, "Come on boys, let's go outand get a pizza." I never suspected his resolve was weakening. Oh sure, he had made a fewconcessions to Mom over the years in the name of domestic tranquility. He began to scale down his latenight feedings and eat lighter dinners. Periodically, he would even gulp down a lug-nut-sized vitamin tablet conveniently placed at his end of the kitchen fable by you know who. But if Mom was winning anoccasional battle, Dad was clearly winning the war. His paunch persisted. If only he could have kept it up a little longer, I'm sure Mom would have given up in frustration, paving the way for her potbelliedspouse to blimp out into oblivion once and for all. But it was not to be. I visited my parents at their Seattlehome earlier this month and found Dad a shadow of his former self. His cavernous polyester pants, oncestretched to the limit by superfluous flesh, now hung loosely on a shriveling waistline. He had a glassy,far-off look in his eye when I asked him if he wanted to go out for a pizza—just like old times. "Nothanks," he replied as if in a trance. "I hardly eat pizza anymore. It's so fattening. I'd rather have a saladbar. I eat a lot of salad now, but I don't have any dressing. That's where all the calories are." He offeredme a Weight Watchers ice cream bar. I had not even taken a lick of low-cal sherbert when Mom rushedinto the kitchen and spotted me with the ice cream. "You'll never lose weight if you keep eating like that," she warned.

LETTERS In and out of Met Prisoner pleads love's case Dear Students,I wrote this letter mainly to show, to you out there who are free and starting back to college this fall, thatif someone in here can retain his love for mankind, then anyone can. I am a college graduate myselfand found out that I still had much to learn. I am currently serving a one year sentence in the infamousAttica prison because I drank and drove a car one too many times. I will be released in April andhopefully return home to Washington. Since I have been here, I have witnessed abuse and crueltybeyond description, have listened while fully grown men have cried themselves to sleep due to sheerloneliness and even saw a young man attempt suicide because his girlfriend left him for someone else. I, too, have suffered terrible loneliness and depression, but have learned something in here that no collegeclassroom or textbook could possibly have taught me. I've learned that love is much stronger than hate.With love, one has purpose and meaning in life. With hate, one merely exists around the borders of life.Each day, I look into hundreds of faces that are filled with hate and bitterness. They have no outlook forthe future and this truly saddens me. Life lost its real meaning for me when I returned home from thewar in Vietnam. I wasted over 12 years of my life through drinking and feeling sorry for myself. I hadfamily and friends then, too. Now I'm all alone but have an inner peace and maturity that I haven'texperienced before. When I do return home in April, I will come back much wiser. More important thanthat, though, I will return with the attitude that I owe life a living and not vice-versa! I have no way ofknowing if your school editor will deem this letter worthy of printing, but I sincerely feel that if only oneother person gets to read its message, then it was well worth the effort of writing.

Severalother city and county races were pared down to two contestants each in the Sept. 20 primary, while one race was decided outright. Despite near-perfect weather, only 27.1 percent of Whatcom County'sregistered voters took the time to cast ballots, according to statistics furnished by the Whatcom CountyAuditor's Office. Officials speculated that the slim showing may have been due to voter confusion overthe upcoming U.S. Senate primary slated for Oct. 11. Douglas surprised many local political observersby winning the primary so handily. He pulled in 65 percent of the vote, compared to 32 percent for therunnerup, City Councilman and former radio personality Haines Fay. Douglas was predictably pleasedwith the results. "It feels good to win by a clear margin," he said. "I think it gives us good momentumgoing into the final." Fay, who declared his candidacy several weeks after Douglas, said his late starthurt him. But he wasn't throwing in the towel. "I didn't really campaign in the primary," he said. "I didn'thave a strong organization and had very little money. It's just a matter of getting more visible now."Douglas said he plans to continue waging a "positive campaign," one that will avoid divisive-nessthat might split the community. In a race that was decided in the primary and won't appear on the Nov.8 final election ballot, Whatcom County Sheriff Larry Mount was re-elected when he trounced fellowDemocrat David Loomis with an 88 percent majority. Since both candidates are of the same party, theprimary decided the race.

The City Council At-Large race will be between CharlesLancaster, with 44 percent of the vote, and Jacqui MacConnell, who garnered 33 percent. BellinghamFinance Director Don Hoffman moved forward in his bid for re-election, taking 50 percent of the vote,compared to challenger Howard Raade's 26 percent. In other county contests, the race for a newassessor was led by Democrat Vic Battson with a 47 percent share of the vote, followed byRepublicans Art Lee and Donald Wheeler, with 36 p e r c e n t and 17 percent, respectively. WhatcomCounty Auditor Joan Ogden, a Republican, took 55 percent of the vote in her race for re-election,outdistancing Democratic challenger Pete Griffin, who gathered 36 percent. Incumbent Don Hanseynarrowly out-polled challenger Robert Andersen in the race for the 1st District County Council seat by a 48 to 42 percent margin. In a non-binding County Council advisory vote, a 74 percent majority saidthey favored using a portion of the .5 percent sales tax the county charges to pay for programs for senior citizens, the disabled and mentally ill. A special state-wide primary to fill the U.S. Senate seat leftvacant by the death of Sen. Henry M. Jackson is scheduled for Oct. 11. Leading contenders to takeJackson's seat include former Gov. Dan Evans, appointed to fill the seat temporarily by Gov. JohnSpellman, former television commentator Lloyd Cooney and Seattle businessman Larry Pen-berthy onthe Republican side, and U.S. Rep. Mike Lowry of Seattle and Seattle Mayor Charles Royer on theDemocratic side. In addition to the above races, the contest for Whatcom County Executive will appearon the Nov. 8 final ballot, where current council representatives Corky Johnson and Shirley Van Zantenwill face off. To be eligible to vote in the Nov. 8 final election, voters must be registered by Oct. 8.

Long lines remain By Kathy Heppner Pushing,shoving and all that's involved with book buying during the first weeks of the quarter may never beresolved, but the Students Co-op Bookstore is working on diminishing the problem. The $230,000renovation of the store was designed to accommodate the 3,000 students who pass through it everyday during peak periods. The remodeling, which began in early July and was completed in September, offers convenience and efficiency. "The renovation will prove to solve a major problem," bookstoremanager George Elliott said, "and has certainly cut down on the chaotic mess that plagued formerstudents." To create an additional 20 percent space for merchandise, offices and storage spacewere eliminated. The entrance was relocated at the front of the store and more cash registers wereadded. Carpets were replaced and the sports wear department was enlarged with better logo displays and easier access. "The store is now a modern establishment and soon merchandise sales 'willexpand and more souvenirs and gifts will be available for the students," Elliott said. The bookstore, builtin I960, became inadequate when Western grew. Elliott recalled a time when the store had to beclosed and only a limited number of students admitted at a time. Elliott added that with all the newstudents it might have been similar thi s year if the remodeling had not occurred. Renovation was fundedby the store's interest income from the past 10 years. Students are given back 11 percent of the profitsmade every year. Although Elliott admitted lineups can't completely be eliminated, he said thissystem will prove to be more convenient.

Romano In times of financial trouble, the arts at a university are often the first scrutinized forpossible reduction, restructuring or even elimination. Now, two programs in the Theater/Dancedepartment are being reviewed by the Council for Post-secondary Education (CPE) for possibleelimination. The two programs up for review are the bachelor's dance degree and the master's programin theater. Dennis Catrell, chair of the department, said the review has been ongoing for at least the past18 months. The department now is preparing data for a second round of reviews. The first reviewprocedure began with the CPE administering surveys and garnishing certain kinds of comparisonsbetween programs in the state's four-year institutions. Theatre/Dance was told to submit data about theprograms, such as the number of students, number of graduates, the interest in the programs and whatthe programs are about. The data was submitted last spring, Catrell said. The CPE has asked for more data for the next round. "They want exactly the same material, but more detailed," Catrell said. "Notonly do they want the number of graduates, but their hometowns, the jobs they got, stuff like that." Thedata for the dance program is due in October; the master's program, in November. It's not easybeing on the working end of such a review. Enrollment in the programs seems not to have sufferedas a result of the review, Catrell said. "Generally, I don't think it's in the consciousness of thestudents, and the graduate students are all confident that they can get through the program," Catrellsaid. "Still, once you've been targeted, it's a serious affair." The sheervolume of manhours used toprepare the data has been the biggest drawback so far. The CPE has asked for no arguments, just colddata. Not only is the department being reviewed involved, but also the Registrar's office, the VicePresident's office and numerous secretaries and administrative assistants. "There are some veryexpensive people involved," Catrell said. Theatre/Dance has no plans right now if the councilrecommends elimination of one of the programs. "There's no way to plan for that, though we alwaysthink about it," he said. "We don't know their (CPE's) deadlines." The CPE will pass on theirrecommendations to the Legislature, which may then be translated into some kind of action, he said."There seems to be some kind of an idea in the Legislature that universities, though they are entirelydifferent, still generate a product," he said. "Though some kind of watchdogs are necessary," headded. Catrell seems to believe that the programs being reviewed may be safe for the next couple ofyears. "The new catalogs have just come out, and I view that as kind of a contract," he said.

The society is dedicated to recreating the "good" thingsabout the middle ages. Black Plague and the Inquisition aren't included, but the arts, sciences andchivalry are worth the effort, Mercia Stonegate (mundanely named Jackie Lynch of Bellingham) explained. "The purpose is to make the world not as it truly was, but as it should have been," she said. The College of the Unspeakable Name, of course, is Western. The Shire of Shittimwoode is Bellingham. These two groups sponsored a combat and swordsplay demonstration last Saturday in the viking Union. MerciaStonegate, Megan Althea of Glengariff, Kester the Wayward, Lady Kate and Raven Black-hurst, amongothers, demonstrated the two membership requirements. They wore costumes in the time period of the society, from 600 to 1650 A.D. and acted as gentlewomen and gentlemen. These gentlepeople studyand share whatever they are interested in, from sword fighting to calligraphy, herbalism andleatherwork. As people get more involved in their chosen time period and particular interest, Merciasaid, the more authentic the society becomes and the more modern religious and political problems lookfamiliar. Only one out-of-period item has been decreed as in-period and that is duct tape, which can befound on most everything, especially the swords. The society began 18 years ago in Berkeley, Calif, asa going away party for a Peace Corps volunteer. It started as a costume party, became a statementagainst the modern ages and created a whole new "old world." Eight kingdoms and 25,000 gentlepeoplelater, the society is a worldwide, non-profit organization. An Tir, which means "The Land" in Welsh, is the youngest kingdom at about 2-and-a-half years and includes Washington, Oregon, British Columbia,Alberta and parts of Nevada, Idaho and Saskatchewan. A kingdom has more than 200 active members, a barony such as Madrone (Seattle) has more than 20, a shire has five to 20 and a college has up to five.Kings and Queens are chosen by fighting prowess and chivalry at two crown tournaments every year. The winner, whether man or woman, selects a consort to share the honor. The consort is given equalfooting because he or she was the inspiration for the winning battle. The royalty reign for six months. TheSeneschal of the Shire of Shittimwoode, the administrative head of the Bellingham group, is MeganAlthea of Glengariff, an Irish Bard. The College of the Unspeakable Name's Seneschal is RavenBlackhurst (Jared Zimmerman). Western's group of medieval lore lovers has been organized for aboutthree years, Raven said. Their office is in VU 402, and the group meets this quarter at 7 p.m.Wednesdays in VU 408. Any changes will be posted in the office. Also, a revel is scheduled for Oct. 22.Revels usually include a .potluck, minstrels' entertainment, games, dancing, contests and generalsocializing.

Campaignofficials representing Walter Mondale, Jesse Jackson, Reagan, and Sen. Gary Hart (D-Colo.), JohnGlenn (R-Ohio) and Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) have been invited by the Associated Students ProgramCommission to speak at a winter candidate forum on campus. Reagan's campaign representativeshave been the most helpful of those notified, said Christy Pyles, program commission social issuescoordinator. "Believe it or not, the White House has been the most cooperative," she said. Pyles said her telephone request for a representative of the President to attend the forum drew a long pause from aWhite House aide, who then asked, "Wouldn't you rather have Mr. Reagan himself?" "I told them thatwould be fine," she said. The White House promised to call back either to confirm or deny the request,Pyles added. Three sets of dates during which the forum may take place have been submitted to eachcandidate. The Program Commission now will wait to see what response—if any—the presidentialhopefuls will make. Many of the candidates' local representatives have been difficult to locate, whileothers have been very unaccommodating. Pyles found Sen. Cranston's Washington state representative "very uncooperative." "He's losing my vote very fast," she said. The forum, still in the planning stage,would last for three days, and stress an informational format. A debate format purposely has beenavoided. "We don't want to scare any of them off," Pyles explained. The three proposed dates for theforum are Jan. 10 through 13, Feb. 7 through 10, and Feb. 27 to March 2. Pyles said the dates could bechanged. King to head Home Ec By Karen Jenkins Rosalie King joined Western this year as the homeeconomics department's new chairwomen. "This has always been one of the best home ecdepartments in the West because of its concern for the undergraduate student,".King said. Shesees herself only as a facilitator. "A chair does not come in and change everything," she said. ButKing admits she does have "certain visions for the department." She would like the department to hiremore faculty to help the teachers who now handle what she calls "unbelievably heavy loads." She alsosaid she hopes that Western soon will offer graduate degrees in home economics. King has come toWestern after 18 years as a teacher and administrator at the University of Washington, including eightyears as chairwoman of the UWs Division of Textile Science and Costume Studies. King's specialty isthe research and analysis of textiles. She said she is interested in developing non-flammable clothing and furniture. In addition to teaching, King has acted as an expert witness in court cases involvingfatalities in connection with defective fabrics, written numerous articles about textiles and beeninvolved in many textile research projects. She currently is writing a book on textiles, which shehopes to finish by next fall. Because of her interest in textile research, King especially is pleasedabout Western's recent acquisition of approximately $50,000 worth of fabric testing equipment. Theequipment will enable Western's students to go beyond studying just the adornment of fabric tostudying the chemistry of fiber. And it will make Western the leading textile testing center in thestate, King said. Western will receive the equipment free of charge from the UWs now extinct textiledepartment on Oct. 11. In addition to the already acquired equipment, King said she hopes the schooleventually will purchase two more testing pieces at an estimated total cost of $20,000.

Western and PLU both were awarded a superior rating.Freshman Jon Barker and junior Maryanne Boreen competed for Western against squads from PLU,University of Oregon and University of Puget Sound. The PLU Critique Tournament had six rounds ofdebate with each round followed by a critique from the judge. Western's forensic program currently isranked among the top 50 in the nation, program director Larry Richardson said. "I'm really glad to see all the fine returning people," he said, adding that newcomers outnumber returning students this quarter. The forensic program is open to all undergraduates at Western. Students do not have to be registered in speech courses to participate, Richardson said. Western's next tournament is Oct. 14-16 atWhitman College. By Bob Dieckmann Lower- division math courses and computer science majorclasses have been restructured this year to provide a better grasp of the material. Algebra 103 andCollege Algebra 105 now are three credit classes rather than five. A five credit intermediate Algebra102 class was added to help spread the material covered previously in Algebra 103 and 105. "We'vemixed the same material in a different package." Albert Froderberg, chairman of the math departmentsaid. Math is not being emphasized as much in high schools he said, it's tough for students to get three years of math completed in one year. A three-day-a-week course would allow a slower pace,Froderberg said. Fred Ives, chairman of the computer science department, said computer sciencemajors will need to look at the changes and meet with advisers to see how the changes will affect them. Some courses have been renumbered and a few upper-division classes now are seminar classes. A graphics course that was a seminar will be a structured class and a personal computers course forthe study of home and small business computers has been added for students who don't plan tocontinue in computer science. "We hadn't done any curricu-lar revisions for sometime," Ives said. "It willprobably be done again for the 1985-87 catalog." Credit requirements for majors and minors havechanged slightly for both departments, but neither charman foresees any serious problems for returningstudents or students needing to retake classes or finish incompletes. City University tends to businessBy Nevonne Harris Worry-streaked faces of Western business students in lines looped twice aroundthe gym for registration are testimonials to student interest in business degrees, but Western is not theonly university in Bellingham with business interests. City University, 2101 Cornwall Ave., is one of 18state-wide extension sites of a Bellevue-based school designed for working business people whowant to finish a bachelor's or master's degree in business, Bellingham Site Director Barbara Delzellsaid. "The university is set up to complement community colleges," she said. The evening classes inbusiness, business administration, marketing or accounting cater to people with a two-year degree (90transferable credits). Bellingham has about 150 City University students, Delzell said, The Finest,Freshest Coffees Now also available at the Upper Crust, Silver Beach, and Dana's Cafe, across from the Bon.

The university is accredited and has the full range of financial aid,such as guaranteed student loans. It also has military accreditation for those in the service who movearound too much to get a degree elsewhere. The average age is 37, she said. Most students work fulltime at management or middle management jobs and have returned to school to get a bachelor's ormaster's degree in business administration. The university also has a nursing administration programand may offer a computer science program if enough students are interested. City University is not indirect competition with Western, Delzell said. No formal referral agreement exists, although someinteraction has occurred with Western's Continuing Education and Small Business Programs. Allundergraduate courses are five credits and cost $325 a quarter, with two classes considered a full-time load because most students work full time, she said. Graduate classes are three credits andcost $250. "It's more expensive than a state-supported school, but is less than many private schools,"she said, adding that some Bellingham companies reimburse employees for attending the university and getting their degree. The teachers are non-tenured and actively employed in what they teach,Delzell said. They are recruited from the base school site in Bellevue and from the local area. WhatcomCounty has been a City University extension site for about five years, with its first quarters in Ferndale. It moved to Bellingham about two years ago. Classes are in the federal building downtown, and thisquarter they begin Oct. 3. The quarters run 11 or 12 weeks. Schools such as City University, thatcomplement community colleges, have been popular in the east since the two-year colleges sprangup, Delzell said.

I was a college student—again. And I set out for my firstday of class with wings on my feet and a song in my heart. By the end of the day, the wings ' had beenreplaced with a bad case of cold feet, and it had taken all my will power to keep them from stampedingdown High. Street and out of higher education forever. As for the song, the desire to give out with aprimal scream was barely subdued. The trial by fire had begun early in the day as I searched in vain fora parking place closer to campus than the Fred Meyer parking lot. As time and options ebbed away, Iscurried into the first available opening, a good six blocks from THE RETURN Older students comingback to school find solace in others school, and walked briskly toward class. Panting my way up thehills of High Street through the vast sea of student humanity, I was shocked to realize that, out of over8,000 students, I was the only one without a knapsack. It was my first experience with feeling "different," and it wasn't to be the last. I slipped into the classroom, assuming the same nonchalant, demeanor ofthose around me and began listening to the horror stories circulating among the students about thisparticular class. Four chapters a week. Pop quizzes. Interviews. Case problems. Eight-page takehome finals. My palms began to sweat; my knuckles turned white; my throat c o n s t r i c t e d . Mybreathing became fast and shallow. I glanced quickly around for the nearest exit, only to notice a nice-looking young woman coming in. A sigh of relief escaped as I recongnized her as my own kind, an older new student. Of this I STRATA sees special needs Although older students are as diverse a group ofstudents as any other, they share a number of similar worries, needs and concerns. In recognition oftheir special needs, STRATA (Students Returning After Time Away) was formed. The organization,co-ordinated by Madelyn Carol, deals with problems and provides, shared social and recreationalopportunities for students who are 25 years old or older. "What I hope to see with STRATA is that itwill help prevent problems now affecting many older students and can help ease their transition intocampus life," Carol says. Towards that goal, a series of short workshops centering on academic skillshas been scheduled. The first, "Attack Your Classes and Win," 2 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5 at theViking Union will include information on efficient and effective study habits and choosing appropriatestudy mehtods for different classes and professors. An anxiety and stress reduction workshop and aworkshop for coping with financial problems are planned for later in the term. STRATA also will have a family potluck (bring a hot dish) at 2 p.m., Oct. 2 at Fairhaven Park. Older students are invited to come by the STRATA office, VU 216, get acquainted and fill out a survey sheet indicating personal areas ofconcern and interest so that activities and workshops can be formed around those areas indicated mostoften. Students interested in participating or organizing activities or in forming a support group alsoare urged to contact Carol at the office. Office hours are from 10 to 11 a.m. and from 1 to 3 p.m.,weekdays. was certain, for she, too, had no knapsack. She dropped her books on the front table andbegan scribbling on the blackboard. I realized with horror that this was the teacher— this mere child,was to be MY teacher. At this point, the startling reality smacked me hard in the face. I was now astudent, and this was no dream; this was reality. I had made a major change in my life, a n d thatchange echoed through every aspect ot my lite tor months to come as I sought to deal with it. Thepanic I felt was by no means unique. I found out later that this back-td-schbol trauma affects all olderstudents returning to school after years away. It is the result of being placed in a new and differentenvironment, said Madelyn Carol, coordinator for an organization at Western called STRATA (StudentsReturning After Time Away.) Symptoms vary in severity and duration but can include personaldoubts about ability to adjust to school and to succeed academically, worries about "fitting in" andquestions about having made the wrong decision. "Returning students (officially, any student 25 yearsold or older) don't know what to expect. You're trying to synthesize everything at once and it'soverwhelming," said Carol, herself an older student. "You begin " having second thoughts about yourintelligence and if you can make it, and this can lead to lots of anxiety and soul-searching." Trauma is only the beginning hurdle for older students. As the student moves into academia, rusty study skills and concern over their relationship to the professor combine to create feelings of pressure and anxiety.Colleen Card, an education major who had taught in Canada before becoming a homemaker, recalls thereadjustment to the classroom. "Being this age, having had experience, and being put on the spot foranswers in class, you feel you shouldn't have to say 'I don't know' when you feel-you're old enough youprobably should know. I'm starting to realize now that part of the problem is in my own mind."Surprisingly, the age gap between older and younger students proves no great problem for either,Carol said. After the initial adjustment to college, nearly all students realize their likenesses are greaterthan their differences, and the common miseries and concerns provide ample social fuel. But thesimilarities between older and younger, traditional college students usually ends at the classroom door.Characteristically, the majority of older students have returned to college after working, homemaking or serving with the military for a number of years. They often come to upgrade skills or make careerchanges. Many are separated or divorced; most have families.

But that's no reason tostop escaping to the beach. Any local can tell you that the sandstone beaches warm up any time the sun peeks through, and nook and cranny cliffs provide shelter from the chill of autumn winds. Withinsix miles of Bellingham at least a dozen trails can be found that lead to a variety of beaches, from thepopular Teddy Bear Cove, two miles south of Fairhaven, where bare bottoms are common (if not therule), to Larabee State Park, six miles south of Fairhaven, where you can comb sand and rock flats forcrab and other sea life. Railroad tracks snuggle the beaches of Bellingham all the way to the farmingflats in Skagit County. If you begin at Marine Park, at the bottom of Harris Avenue in Fairhaven, within afew minutes you leave all signs of the city and its neighborhoods. As the fog nears the shore, thequietude might be interrupted by a kayaker or a curious sea otter. A mile south of Marine Park, therailroad tunnel goes under Clark's Point to Chuckanut Bay. The tracks cross the bay and meet TeddyBear Cove. Inside Chuckanut Bay reside blue herons, whose caws reverberate on the sandstonecliffs, sounding like the cartoon pterodactyls on Johnny Quest shows. Fishermen are a commonsight on the Chuckanut Bay trestle. Four- and five-pound cutthroat trout, silver salmon and an occasional ling cod swim underneath the trestle in the fall. On the east shore of Chuckanut Bay is the mostbeautiful sandstone, some say, that the ocean has carved. The rocks are rounded into ice cream coneshapes and dotted with honeycomb holes. How far you go, to sit in a sandstone cranny; or catch acutthroat, is pure choice. It's all minutes away. Left: Akayaker slices the placidwaters of Chuckanut Bay.

Older students share traumas • OLDER , from page 12 the 25 and older range, accordingto figures supplied by Lynn Thomas, program manager at Registrar Systems. More than one ofevery five students on campus fit into that category. Of these, 942 were women and 886 were men. Forthe men, the adjustments aren't as difficult as for women, Carol explained, because many have beenemployed full time, and are more accustomed to work schedules. Child raising and housekeeping arestill most often the province of women, despite the feminist revolution, and Carol said she rarely speaksto male students concerned about childcare and organizing domestic chores to allow for studv time.Anita Hewitt is a nursing student and single parent who also works at a job and at her son's Christianschool in order to reduce tuition. Adjusting to academic life meant rethinking priorities. "It waslearning to accept that while A's are lovely they're not necessary. I had to be realistic about mylimitations—these can be time, talents, priorities—but to accept them and say 'that's okay; I'll do thebest I can with them." Despite the difficulities it poses, the family provides a great deal of moral supportand serves as a reason to "hang in there." And hanging in, especially financially, is particulary tough onolder students. The hard task of rerouting money for tuition, fees and books is compounded by thenecessity of day care and other expenses Colleen Card, education major, returned to Western to get herteaching certificate. incurred while raising a family. "When my son needs new shoes," Hewitt remarked,"I go to K-Mart and say a little prayer before we go through the door that they'll be having a sale onthem." Time needed for class and study obligations cuts into time available for work. The consequentcutback in finances when an older student enters college borders on discomfort for some and neardisaster for others. Financial woes are the most universal problem among older students, Carol said.Students manage to get by with financial aid packages, help from relatives, and sheer grit, sometimesexisting on a below poverty level income. Circumstances are so precarious for some, that they areunable to make plans from one term to the next. Finding employment which fits into a school schedulers often high on the older students' list of priorities, as a result. Career choice also is a concern. At age20, there is time to make a mistake in career choice and rectify it. By the age of 35 or 40, the optionsaren't nearly as open. Older students want to choose carefully to avoid errors so they seek out moreinformation about different jobs—their suitability and availability. Although the inherent problems ofreturning to school overwhelm some, those with the tenacity to stick it out find ample advantages andrewards. Pat McCutcheon, a STRATA employee and anthropology student who struggled in college,dropped out and later returned, feels the extra years have been a key factor in his now successfulacademic career. "I think your mind matures as you grow older. You learn so :much more. You look atthings as a whole rather than as little parts." Hewitt, too, feels the added maturity has helped her setgoals, work toward them, and has been an aid to stretching her expectations of herself. ' Herdedication also is giving her son a respect for education. "At first, he was jealous of my books. Now herealizes I have to study and he realizes when I'm out of school, there'll be a lot of advantages. It'sbecome a family project." Though academic life has proved rigorous and demanding for these olderstudents, the challenge has been marked by personal growth. Did they have advice for newreturnees? "Use the resources the university otters—it can make the road much smoother,"McCutcheon said. "Take the plunge," advised Hewitt. "Talk to someone who's done it before. And don'tgive up—it's a temptation, but don't give up." ---------- Western Front - 1983 September 30 - Page 14 ---------- 14 Western Front Friday, September 30, 1983 Japan like a second home Ellis Krauss teaches a coursein modern Japanese politics this quarter. By Margaret Carlson From northwestern Washington, aWestern political science professor ventured to far eastern Japan where he did research, visited friends, went to Disneyland and ate dinner with the prime minister. Ellis Krauss recently returned from aneight-month stay in Japan; it was his fourth extended visit since 1968. Krauss received a Fulbright grantto conduct research in Japan, so last January he packed up and moved to Tokyo. His family, wife Caroland 8-year-old daughter Rachel, joined him in April. He concentrated on three areas of research,government opposition to the Diet parliament in Japan, collaborative research with a Japanese politicalscientist at Kyoto University on Japanese political attitudes towards policy and procedure and intensive study of the news process at the NHK news network. Krauss said this trip, along with the others, hasenabled him to get to know the Japanese people and their way of life. He said the Japanese are fast-paced and have a high standard of living. "The people in Japan are faster than in Bell-ingham but not asfast as New York," said Krauss, who lived on the east coast for many years. He said they have a higherstandard of living than the people in Bellingham because "they have money now." Krauss said he and his family ate out a lot at Tokyo restaurants. He said he thinks Tokyo has a greater variety of eating anddrinking establishments than any other city in the world. He noted that one of his favorite Japanese foods, sushi, sells for about $2.50 for two pieces in Seattle compared to 40 cents for two pieces in Tokyo.Tokyo has an extremely low crime rate when compared to cities in the U.S. and Krauss attributes this toa high rate of employment, near complete gun control (a license is required to own a starting gun for atrack meet), the tendency for citizens to conform to the social norm and to the fact that "people knowtheir neighbors." Krauss indulges himself in one of America's most popularforms of physical fitness,jogging, but had to run at midnight or 1 a.m. because of the heat and humidity. He said he had noqualms about being out that late in an impacted city, while in the states one would have secondthoughts. Krauss and his wife and daughter visited Japan's Disneyland over the summer. He said it is areplica of the U.S. Disneyland and Disneyworld except that more adults than children go to the one inJapan. His research in Japan rarely brought Krauss in contact with Japanese college students but hewas invited to lecture at Tsuda Women's College. He said his impression of Japanese college students is that they aren't as motivated as the students in the U.S. They work hard in high school and on thecollege entrance exams, but "once you get into college it's easy," Krauss said. Japan has two types of colleges, national universities and privately owned, "mass production" schools. Krauss said thenational schools usually are high quality and prestigious while the "mass product i o n " schools are"under-funded and over-enrolled." "The private universities have 100,000 students on a campus smallerthan Western's," Krauss said. His research at NHK news and a dinner with the prime minister of Japanwere the high points of his stay. An American political scientist living in Japan knows the present primeminister, Yasuhiro Naka-sone. He arranged for nine American scholars to meet with Nakasone. They atea catered dinner in the back yard of the prime minister's private residence. "He told us to loosen ourties," Krauss said. What followed was an informal two-and-a-half hours of political discussion. Krausssaid he enjoyed the evening because he got a feeling for what kind of person Nakasone is, even thoughhe doesn't agree with all of the prime minister's political ideas. ("He's too conservative for me.") Krausssaid he also enjoyed the visit because Nakasone gave them some antecdotes of behind the scenes atthe recent Williamsburg Summit. Although living in Japan is far removed from life in Bellingham, Krausssaid he experiences more culture shock when he comes home to America. "You get used to thepoliteness, courtesy and safety," Krauss said. "People are polite and friendly here, (in the U.S.) but oneof my first experiences when I got home was with a cranky skycab."

At least that's the way it must have seemed to theoutsized Western Vikings after they were thumped 49-7 by Pacific Lutheran University in front of 3,500enthusiastic fans at Civic Stadium Sept. 24. "We got our butts kicked," junior linebacker CharlieKinnune told a group of spectators. "I 've never been beaten like that before." "They were tough," seniorquarter back Eric Ummel said. "They were like I'd seen for the last four years." Early mistakes led to aquick burial as the visiting Lutes, ranked fourth in the National Association of IntercollegiateAthletics Division II, tallied 28 points in 17 minutes...before Western registered their initial first down.Two PLU touchdowns were set up by Western turnovers: a first-quarter fumble at the viking 19, and a 42-yard interception return by defensive back Drex Zimmerman to the 13 at the end of the first period. Infact, PLU put the game out of reach so quickly, they had the luxury of playing a plethora of reserves. Atotal of 12 Lutes racked up 276 rushing yards, while two quarterbacks passed for 118 more yards.Starting signal-caller Kevin Skogen caused most of the aerial damage by hitting on eight of 12 throws,including a 12-yard touchdown toss to fullback Jeff Rohr. Reserve quarterback Jeff Shumake led theLutes with 60 yaras on tour carries;most of that came on a 39-yard romp with 1:29 left in the game.Meanwhile, the Vikings unsuccessfully struggled to move the ball against a Lute defense that,Western head coach Paul Hansen said, outweighed Western's offensive line by about 35 pounds perman. "Our plan was to move on the ground, but we couldn't budge them," Hansen said. A rushing totalof minus 10 yards confirmed his statement. Unable to move on the ground, Western went to the air.Ummel hit 13 of 38 passes for 101 yards, but three interceptions crippled potential Viking drives. "Wemoved the ball several times, but we stopped ourselves," Hansen said. In the second quarter a crucialholding penalty aborted a Western drive initially fueled by three straight pass completions. Anotherdrive took the Vikings into PLU territory on the strength of an 18-yard pass to receiver Randy Chatman,followed by an 11-yard burst by fullback Mike Peale. But on the next play, an Ummel pass wasdeflected into the arms of a diving Zimmerman for his second interception. After recovering a third-quarter fumble at the PLU 38, Western moved to the 22-yard line. Ummel then rolled right, and—despite openfield in front of him—he zipped the ball to Dave Coltom at the five-yard line. Unfortunately, Coltom is aLute cornerback, and he returned the ball 48 yards to end the threat. "I just should have run," Ummelsaid. "I just sawmyguyin the end zone...but I should have run it." But the Vikings simply didn't give up,despite trailing 42-0 in the fourth period. The large home crowd still cheered heartily for their team, which debuted in flashy new uniforms. "The team hung in there, they didn't give up," Hansen said, adding heappreciated the "fantastic" crowd support. "If they stay with us as we build, we'll repay them in acouple of years." Part of that payment came when Mark Moran bobbled a PLU kickoff, then promptly ran 59 yards to the Lute 41. He was stopped by the last Lute defender—quarterback Skogen, inexplicably on the kick return team.

"Bu The Viking men's soccer team improved their record with a 4-0 drubbing ofthe Trinity Western Spartans Wednesday afternoon on Western's home pitch behind Carver Gym.Sophomore forward Tim Gerhard scored two goals to pace the Vikings, whose record went 4-0-1.Bruce Campbell, in his fifth year as head soccer coach at Western, was impressed with Gerhard's play. "He's very fast and has a good shot," Campbell said. Gerhard scored the only goal the Vikings wouldneed 15 minutes into the first half. Gerhard's goal was the result of an aggressive Viking offense that kept the ball in the Spartan end of the field for the majority of the game. Jeff Spears gave Western itssecond goal when he scored about 25 minutes into the first half. Spears also picked up an assist whenhe placed a perfect pass to senior forward Cliff Mull in the second half.

Commentary - |sjASL needs help Aussies take race away - PatBulmer The 16th North American Soccer League Season is ending and although a 17th season likelywill take place, the NASL survives on shaky ground. The so-called sport of the '80s is, with a fewexceptions, not catching on in North America. In Seattle, the Sounders have packed it in and others may follow. But, soccer can succeed in North America, if the NASL plays it smart. Gimmicks such as theshootout, 35-yard off-side line and "Americanization" of the sport are not the answers. The" answers tothe league's woes can be found by glancing into its h;istory and looking into the key to the United StatesFootball League's success. The NASL's history is a dismal one. But it has had its glory years — themid-70s. These were the years when Pele worked his magic for the New York Cosmos and such greatsas Franz Beckenbauer, Giorgio Chinaglia and Johann Cruyff came to the league in the prime of theircareers. These superstars were major attractions throughout the league. NASL attendance soared andthe league even secured a network television contract. But its success was short-lived. Pele retiredand BEcken-bauer and company joined the over-the-hill gang. They were not replaced. Players of suchcaliber are expensive, but acquisition of one or more of the new group of world superstars is needed torespark interest in the NASL. Clearly, a Kevin Keegan, Paolo Rossi, Trevor Francis, Kenny Dalglieshand/or Zico is needed in the NASL. To acquire such players and bring an aura of respectability to theleague, the NASL also must review its ownership. Only the ultra-rich should be considered. This iswhy the USFL, for example, should survive and the World Football League fail. Toronto businessmanJohn Bassett owned teams in both leagues.

Althoughthe victors will keep the name of the cup, no longer will the race be held in Newport, Rhode Islandregularly. The Royal Perth Yacht Club as sponsor of the victorious boat Australia II will hold the nextrace in Perth. In sorrow, I poured a double gin and tonic and toasted Dennis O'Connor, realizing he has to live with the notion that he let down all sailors in America. I also raised the glass to John Ber-tand,the Australian skipper, who proved that life is not all sheep and funny football games down under, that infact they have some pretty darn good engineers there too. As I sucked down another G T, I thought of the partying that must be happening in Perth. We think it is a big deal when the Seahawks beat SanDiego, or when the Sonics take a game from the Lakers. But these Aussies broke what is one of thelongest winning streaks ever. There is finally a reason to boast about being Australian. While there isjubilation in Perth in the other hemisphere there is no joy in Mudville—err, Newport, R. I.—for themighty New York Yacht Club has struck out. The N.Y.Y.C. complained and bickered about the infamouswinged keel of Australia II, without any satisfying results. A larger problem has surfaced now,however, what I call the loss of Newport. Think of Rhode Island for a moment. For over 100 years itsreason for existence was the race. The high class resort town of Newport, as beautiful as it is, survivedbecause of exposure brought to it as the host of "the race." The tourist industry will undoubtedly die inNewport; I have already cancelled my plans to spend next summer vacation there—maybe I'll go to theGrand Canyon, or Disneyland instead.

Western had its first taste of national successlast year when the Vikings placed 10th in the national meet. Having tasted the sweetness of success,the Vikings intend to go back for seconds. "One of our goals is to go back to the nationals," Coach Ralph Vernacchia said. Three participants from last season will help in the quest for a successful encore. Thereturnees are seniors Mark Steen and Toby Smith and sophomore Matt Eichenberger. Due to hisexpectation of these veterans and other products of his long range program, Vernacchia thinksexperience is the team's strongest suit. "We are good in experience," the coach said. "We have fourpeople (Steen, Smith, Mike Dubuc and Shane Sliva) who are in their fourth year here. They know thecourses well. They know what is expected of them — and that is a tremendous asset." How much value does Vernacchia put on experience? "It makes everything a lot easier for the coach," he said. "Itprovides a lot more leadership within the team. It also encourages more independence on the athletespart, and those athletes by this time are ready to accept more responsibility. They are not afraid of beingsuccessful. They are more excited about being successful. The younger runners might be more scared of it but when its your last time around, you figure this is it." Vernacchia outlines some goals for theveteran team: "Our goal is always to continue improving our performance. Another goal is to improve ourracing skills. In other words, the longer the season goes on, the better we can get at racing; and thegreater your concentration span can become during racing time. This is important because they have toconcentrate for almost 30 minutes in the races and that takes a lot of practice. "I guess I want them tobring themselves to both physical and psychological feats so they can race their best race." The Vikings might have already raced their best race. On a rare trip to Alaska, Western manhandled University ofAlaska-Anchorage (15-50 and 15-50) and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks (17-45 and 18-43) in dualmeets on Sept. 22 and 23. Vernacchia does not put too much emphasis on these opening victoriesbecause of the easy competition; however, he reassures the trip was worthwhile. "This was a goodexperience for our runners because should we qualify for the national meets, we will be in Wisconsin,"Vernacchia said. "I've been back there with runners when we've actually ran in the snow in very coldtemperatures. So it's good for them to have the opportunity to experience that (in Alaska)." After all thefun in Alaska, the Vikings will have a tough job ahead of them. Western along with other district teamsincluding Simon Fraser, the defending national champions, will compete in the Fort Casey Invitationalmeet at Whidbey . Island tomorrow. By Tim Mahoney Western's volleyball team has had a slow startthis season, but with wins over Central Washington University and Pacific Lutheran University, itsrecord has improved—in more ways than one. Due to a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics regulation, only matches that are against schools granting four-year degrees and are best-of-three orbest-of-five game matches are allowed to count on a school's season record. The rule wipes out all ofWestern's losses in a two-game tournament in California earlier this month, as well as two gamesagainst community colleges. Last Friday, in their first home game, the Vikings stopped Central 15-6,8-15, 16-14 and 15-13 for their first win of the season, official or unofficial. On Monday, Westerndefeated Edmonds Community College in an unofficial game, then traveled to Pacific Lutheran inTacoma and swept the Lutes 15-8, 16-14 and 15-5. In earlier games, Western lost to the University ofPuget Sound 15-12,15-5, and 15-10, the University of Portland 7-15, 15-5, 15-10 and 15-12 and SimonFraser University 15-3, 15-7 and 15-12. Head coach Mike Clark said the only bad match the Vikingsplayed was against Simon Fraser. "The other teams had to beat them," he said. In Friday's match,Western got off to a promising start, scoring five straight points before surrendering the serve to theWildcats. In the second game, though, it was Central that sprang out of the gates, scoring nine points before the Vikings could get a single point on the board. A six-point run was not enough to stopCentral in the second game. In the third game, the lead seesawed as Central came backfrom a 13-8 deficit to lead 14-13, where Western promptly ended the game with three straight points. The lastgame, though, was a classic cliffhanger. Western scored the last four points, but found themselves down 13-8 this time. Scoring more than one point at a time only once, the Vikings clawed their way backinto the match. Of many outstanding plays in this stretch, by both clubs, the most significant wasfreshman Kris Keltner's stuff block of a Wildcat serve when Western was down 13-12. "I think that turned the match around," Clark said. While Central couldn't seem to nail the coffin shut on Western, neithercould the Vikings do the same to the Wildcats. Both sides sided out three times before Western scoredits 14th point, then three times again before Western finally won it. Needless to say, Clark was happywith the win, especially in the last game. "They fought their way back, and that's the mental attitudethey need." He had high praise for six-foot-two hitter Care Faszholz, a junior transfer from PacificLutheran. "She adds a lot of height, good knowledge, good court sense and she's an experiencedplayer," Clark said.

Two plays later, Ummel heaved a passintended for Kurt Hanson in the end zone. The ^LU defender was called for interference, and Westernwas awarded a first down on the one-yard line. Ummel covered that yard himself two plays later for thescore. Errors also led to a 30-10 loss in Western's season opener on the road against the OregonInstitute of Technology Sept. 17. OIT scored 23 of their points on Western miscues, including aninterception for a touchdown, an end-zone fumble recovery and a sack of Ummel for a safety. In additon,another OIT fumble recovery let to a third touchdown. "I wasn't satisfied with our pass protectionagainst the blitz," Hansen said, pointing to six quarterback sacks in the game. When he wasn'tdodging the defense, Ummel managed to connect on 14 of 30 passes for 138 yards. He also scoredWestern's lone touchdown on a fourth-quarter run; bare-footed sophomore kicker Aaron Taylor hadbooted a 23-yard first-half field Rodland had blocked a punt. "We got better between halves. We playedthem even in the second half, but by then the damage was done," Hansen said. OIT, ranked 18th inthe NAIA Division I p r e s e a s o n poll, mustered only 55 yards passing against Western, buthammered out 250yards on the ground. After the win, OIT rose to 11th in the poll.

Think of it, Puerto Rico or Staten Island will be forced to become a state or all 50-star flags will be worthless. Therefore it is apparent that the Governor of Rhode Island should ask the Presidentto declare the state a National Disaster area. It is quite possible that rioting in Rhode Island by EastCoast preppies could destroy the state due to their anger over the loss of the cup. Since Rhode Islandhas a very short life left we must look for the future, salvage our pride and bring back the cup. I can see it now, billions of dollars being poured into engineering schools to research keel design. Can the U.S.A.out-gimmick the Australians in 1986 and win back the cup?

By 1975, the friendship had taken astrange twist. Her friend, Ted Bundy, was accused of murder and she was hired to write a book aboutthe slayings. Rule will be in Bellingham Monday to talk about her experiences as a writer. She beganresearching for the book in 1974, when police had few clues and speculated that a devil's cult wasresponsible for the killings of several college coeds, she said. She and Bundy maintained theirfriendship after they left their jobs at the crisis center. Rule, however, knew nothing of Bundy's role in the killings. Her book sold more than 600,000 copies before it came out in paperback, making Rule anationally known author. It has been used as a textbook for criminal-justice classes at major universities and was selected as featured reading by the Book of the Month Club. "The Bundy book has beencalled the definitive book on how a serial murderer operates," Rule said. Rule, who was a Seattle Police Officer for one year, said she always has been fascinated by the inner workings of the criminal mind.Most of her writings have dealt with murderers and rapists. "I want to understand why some people growup to be killers and some don't," she said. Her police career was short because Rule's eyesight was too poor to meet department requirements. She stayed in the criminology field by studying policeinvestigation techniques and in 1968 became the Northwest correspondent for True Detective. She has written several non-fiction books about local crimes with the pseudonym Andy Stacks. Most recently,Rule said she has been working with the United States Justice Department developing a computerized network to track down serial murderers. A serial murderer kills during a long period of time in a similarmanner, she said. Rule has survived since 1971 on income from her writing. She will discuss how people can "start from scratch and make a living as a writer," she said. She also will be promoting her latestbook, "Possession." This fiction book released in May explores the mind of an antisocial killer and his victim, she said. It is loosely based on five cases in the Northwest that Rule spent two yearsresearching. Author Ann Rule gained a national reputation after she wrote about her friendship withconvicted murderer Ted Bundy. "Possession" refers to the mental state called the "StockholmSyndrome." This is a syndrome appearing in kidnap victims who fall in love with, or make good friendswith their captors, she said. Although she faces some criticism because she makes her living off of other people's tragedies, Prominent banker wishes to help put 10,000 students through college.Washington Mutual is now offering student loans at 7% to 9% interest.

The instructor sauntered into the room. He asked studentsto give their name, major and reason for taking art. This information gave me a new perspective. Thisclass was full of people with varying interests — computer science, VICOED — all were simplyinterested in finding out about art.

My self-expectations should havebeen no higher than in any other class.

Despite the discomfort of intenseheat, people cram themselves into bars in downtown Bellingham. Opportunities for dancing or justlistening to live music is relatively limited in this area. Four night spots head the list of primeentertainment. These are The Hide Away, Charlie's, Lord Cornwall's and the Holiday Inn. The HideAway, located on Cornwall Avenue, offers primarily rock and new wave. The type of crowd the Hide Away attracts often varies according to which The Cowboys' will rock the Charley's crowd tonight and Saturday night. Charley's is a nightclub located on Cornwall Avenue. Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" has beenproduced by high schools, colleges, community theaters—anyone who has a stage—andprobably will be produced for many years. The Bellingham Theatre Guild's "Our Town" director, JohnGaroutte, considered it "the single finest piece of stage writing in America." The BTG will open itsproduction of the play on Oct. 29. The play will be set in a traditional mounting, Garoutte said,following the custom of using a bare stage with only a few chairs and tables to create 'Our Town'performed in Bellingham By Leigh Clifton band is playing. The tables are in a banquet style allowingstrangers to meet haphazardly. A few pool tables offer distraction from the music. Live entertainmentis offered Thursdays through Sundays. Last week, The Hide Away featured "The Kooks," and the"Flintones" will play this weekend. The cover charge will be $2. Charley's opened fall quarter with "TheAllies" last weekend and packed in the entertainment seekers for $3 a piece. Charley's attracts a highvolume of college students and features mostly rock and new wave. The night club, which is located onthe northern section of Cornwall, will offer the "Cowboys" charging a $3 admission, this weekend. Pool,foosball and video games are included in its entertainment. For seven-nights-a-week live entertainment,Lord Cornwall's is the place to go. The crowd does not consist of many students, the town of Grover'sCorner, N.H. in the audience's imagination. The'story c e n t e r s on a simple neighborhood ana isabout people, love and marriage, death and the meaning of life. Bob Millholen, who has participated in several local productions, plays the part of Stage Manager, where he sets the scene, dispensinglife-and-death philosophy impartially to the inhabitants of Grover's Corner and members of the audiencealike. £3£ gt;/^0jf ADDITION GRAND OPENING Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 1224 Cornwall Ave.,Bellingham, WA 98225 Tel.

Western now looks at theclasses students take in high school and not just grade point averages before accepting applications. "Ithink that's made a lot of difference," he said. In the '60s and 70s, Talbot said, universities loweredtheir academic standards. But now, with the nation-wide concern for quality education, the trend isto raise standards. One idea to promote quality education, from the state-wide Committee on Academic Excellence, is to set uniform admissions standards for the state's four-year institutions.Universities need to agree on a set of skills required for admission. Then a test has to be developedto measure those skills, Talbot said. At the University of Washington the same people who developedthe Washington Pre-College Test are working on an admissions test for high school students, he said.That test could take two more years to develop. More immediately, Western's English and mathdepartments are examining a statement of academic goals submitted to them by the inter-institutionalCommittee of Academic Offices. The statement outlines skills entering freshmen should have. Talbotsaid the two departments will respond to the committee at a meeting Oct. 7. He called these effortsto raise standards an "exciting development." This development, however, is not as imminent asstatements this summer by Washington State University President Glen Terrell made it appear to be.Terrell's comments indicated that an announcement of uniform admission standards among the four-year schools would be made before January. "That got a lot of people agitated," Eleanore Kenny, ofthe Council for Post-Secondary Education, said. No such uniform admission requirements are readyto announce, she said. Job hunters offered help By Lisa Stewart The Career Planning and PlacementCenter has been placing Western students in the job market for a century and is continuing to doso. "There are basically two groups of students: The small group of students that know exactly whatthey want to do and have it all put together, and the majority of the students that need some guidance,"said Louis Lallas, the center's director. The planning center has many ways of assisting students. Forthose who don't know what they want, counselor Tina Brinson can help relate skills to a major or minorand eventually to the job market. Also, to help with the planning is the career information library, whichis filled with job reports, specifics on what certain jobs entail, magazines on where the market is goingand other r information. The placement center has an extensive job listing service where employees listvacancies they want college graduates to fill. This list also'serves as a guideline to requirements ofcertain jobs. The center offers on-campus recruitment, where the employers come to campus andinterview students with the intention of hiring. A placement file is offered as a portfolio of a student'sachievements including a summary of courses, schools attended, letters of reference and for teachers, an evaluation. The final service is sharpening job search skills. Students are helped with resumes,when, where and how to contact employers. This is handled by workshops, tapes, handouts andindividual counseling. The career center has four main staff members: Brinson, planning counselor; BobThirsk, business fields; Lallas, teaching; and Jeanie Hargis, job search, resumes and interviews.Western has had a placement center helping students find jobs since the late 1800s. In those daysWestern was a teachers' school and the placement center was concerned with placing students intoteaching positions. Placement was not difficult because of the great demand for teachers. Enrollmentmushroomed after World War II. "With the GI Bill and the economy on the upswing, students were more plentiful and there were predictions of a need for college students in the job market," Lallas said.By the late '60s, however, the baby boom was under control and the demand for teachers fell off. Aboutthat time, Western started a liberal arts program and the career placement center expanded into newfields. "From the early 1970s to the present the job market has tightened," Lallas said. "This isresulting in students choosing multiple careers. They need to know more than one area of studybecause jobs are not so plentiful. Thev now need to develop life-long planning." From this, the planning center emerged. Lallas concluded, "Those who take the time to develop their career awareness and job search skills are going to fare better in the job market than those who don't. WSL sponsors voter sign-up A voter registration table is set up in vendors'row and staffed by volunteer registrars from 8:00 a.m.until 4:00 p.m. through Oct. 8. The booth, sponsored by West-em's chapter of the Washington StudentLobby, is intended to create a greater voter turn-out among students to demonstrate that students dovote, Associated Students Vice President for External Affairs Dan Pike said. "We'd partly like toemphasize that we're living in this community and the local politics will probably have a more directeffect on our lives than any other," he said.

Last winter the board decided not to act on a policy that would have allowed faculty members to settle their disputes with other facultymembers, chairmen, deans or administrators through binding arbitration, if two-thirds of the FacultySenate voted to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. Monday, the executive council of the senatesubmitted a revised policy that would replace binding arbitration with a special executive session ofthe Board of Trustees. A memo to the senate from the executive council stated, "We recommend thisboth because we believe that the board will not alter their opposition to binding arbitration andbecause we believe that we, the university community, should decide these matters for ourselves."According to the proposed Faculty Grievance Procedure, a dispute would be taken to the board onlywhen the president and two-thirds of the Senate disagreed on the matter. The executive councilmemo stated: "It will be objected that the relationship between the president of the university and theBoard of Trustees is such that an appeal to the board will be an empty gesture. However, we believethat the requirement of a special executive session of the board to hear the appeal . . . will raise thematter to a level of substantial importance and . . . will allow the matter to be treated not as a vote ofconfidence in the president but as matter in which reasonable persons disagree." Computer centerprovides knowledge By Lynann Bradbury As fields of computers and computer-based technologyconstantly expand, increased computer knowledge is essential in business. The Computer Centerprovides Western students facilities to proliferate learning and accessibility to terminals andmicrocomputers. The center, located on the third floor of Bond Hall, is staffed with consultants 9 a.m. to9 p.m. excluding 5 to 6 p.m. Consultants help "to show why a program is wrong, not to fix the errors."said Shuang Kao, head student programmer/consultant. The center has expanded terminalaccessibility by opening a new terminal room in the Arntzen Hall basement. "The wall has been knocked out between rooms three and five," Joan Hayes, of the the Computer Center, said. "The new (terminal) room has 26 VAX-2 terminals and we're hoping to have a staff member there soon." Terminals also arein Parks Hall 308, Arntzen Hall 1,2 and 5, Miller Hall 60, 350 and 425, Humanities 210B, Haggard Hall228, Bond Hall 321 and a graphics lab in Bond Hall 233. Ken Jett types a program as part of learning the jargon and operation of a computer. The computer demonstration center, which opened last Friday in Miller Hall 350, has 15 Apple II micro computers. "Though mainly for instructional use, these micros are available to any Western student." Hayes said. Students must bring their own software. Micros also are located in Arntzen 1 and 2. WTS (Western Terminal System) is no longer in use, Hayes said, "buthas been consolidated into the VAX system, which is more efficient and more sophisticated." Westernhas three computing systems, VAX-1, VAX-2 and RJE (Remote Job Entry). CIS PES pedals for peaceBy Leanna Bradshaw The Western and Bellingham chapters of the Committee in Solidarity with thePeople of El Salvador will pedal to the Peace Arch tomorrow. The arch unites Washington and BritishColumbia at Blaine. The 20-mile bike-a-thon begins at the Kmart parking lot at noon. Anyone can ride along or pledge money, said Wayne Iverson, budget authority for Western's CISPES. The bicyclists will join members of the Central America Solidarity Committee, who will pedal to the Peace Arch fromVancouver, B.C. for a picnic. Live entertainment will be provided by Guatemalan and Chilean musicians. Money can be pledged for each mile or as a fixed sum. New El Salvador Today will use proceeds forhealth clinics, to buy seed and farming equipment. The bike-a-thon profits are "basically to help peoplekeep theirlives going during civil war," Iverson said. CISPES functions are to educate people aboutCentral American Affairs and to get the U.S. government to stop its intervention policies there,Iverson said. The organization has about 300 chapters nation-wide, he added. CISPES plans to raisemoney with a benefit dinner at One Earth Restaurant on Sunday. One Earth Restaurant operates out ofLyn's Breakfast, 1512 Cornwall Ave. The menu of Mexican food will be $5 a plate. A fund-raising garagesale is scheduled for Oct. 8 and 9 at Harmony Motor Works Collective, 930 N. State St. CISPES islooking for donations to sell, Iverson said.

"In terms of hardware both VAX systems are the same," saidJonathan Brown, head student programmer/ consultant. "VAX-1 is for use on north campus, whileVAX-2 is for south campus. It is easier to get in (to the computer) on VAX-2 because most studentscome up here, (to the computer center)" and because the Arntzen terminal room is so new that manypeople don't know about it. "RJE is much simpler to learn on than VAX," he added. "The instructions aredisplayed on the screen and an account numberis not needed, just type in your student number." Totype into the VAX system a user must obtain an account with the VAX. Students can fill out a UserAuthorization Application Card at the control desk on third floor of Bond Hall. The center needs work-study students who are experienced in computing. Anyone interested can see Joan Hayes in Bond Hall 316 for more information. Brown and Head Programmer/ Consultant Doug Boa suggest the best way fornew students to begin using the computer system is to approach a consultant before beginning aprogram. Names and photos of the consultants are posted in Bond Hall 321.
