State budget cuts may force tuition hike by DUFF WILSON OLYMPIA
— Gov. Dan Evans will supporthigher tuition and
increased financial aid for college students, he told student body
presidents Friday.His proposed increase would raise Western's tuition rate
to $188 a quarter. Evans also reaffirmed hissupport for" students on
Boards of Trustees and WashPIRG, and discussed faculty salaries
andcollective bargaining, according to Stephen Barrett, Western^
Associated Students president. TheGovernor had a "positive attitude"
toward students, but noted severe state budget-making problemswould be the
top priority of the legislative session that began Monday, said Kevin
Ryan, chairman ofCentral Washington State College's Student Board of
Control. Tuition will probably rise 32 per cent overthe 1971-72 rate,
according to state analysts (see sidebar). About $16 million would be
generated bythe proposed increased tuitions, Evans said at the three hour
luncheon. About $3 million of this could be used to increase student
financial aid. The rest would be needed to pay for salary, utility and
postageincreases and other costs. Faculty salaries should be raised,
Evans told the student presidents, butthe money may not be available for
more than a five per cent increase. "The consequences of no wageincreases
could disrupt campuses very much," Barrett noted. Faculty collective
bargaining may be amajor issue this session, with hearings already being
held. Evans said he does not personally supportfaculty collective
bargaining, but it may be inevitable. Students should have the right to
participate,Evans added, if collect-jive bargaining becomes a reality at
their schools. Student Trustees are also fully supported by the governor,
according to Barrett. Last session, Evans appointed a
28-year-oldWenatchee Valley College student to Central's Trustees. The
State Senate refused to vote for oragainst confirmation, and the student
is now speaking and voting actively on Central's governing body,Ryan said.
Barrett said Evans "seemed appalled" when he learned that Western
Trustees do not havean automatic , agenda item for student
representatives, as Eastern and Central Trustees do. Toreaffirm his
support of WashPIRG the Governor promised to write the Trustees at
Western and theRegents at the two universities where it is being most
actively considered. Barrett and other studentpresidents are currently
organizing information and lobbying efforts for the session, expected to
last30 to 60 days. Cooperative neighbors aid Lummi flood victims by
GARY ABRAMAVITCH BERTRAM Itwas still pitch black in the cold, wet streets
of Marietta Village when I was forced to leap from acomfortable dream to
our front porch in time to stop our three dogs from tearing a leg off
somescreaming, fist-pounding neighbor. "Hurry you guys," the voice warned.
"The river's flooding, and yourtrailer's floating away. You've only got a
few minutes to save what you can." "My God!" I thought. "I've gotphoto
negs stashed in nearly every drawer in the house." After falling out of
bed, I tried to rescue thenegatives before even remembering to call off
the dogs, but my *ol lady got to the door in time. "Gadzukes, the water
is already within a few feet of our porch. . ." . I'd been told that a
super-high tide wasdue, but there was no way the Nooksack River was gonna
rise enough to flood over that eight-foot dike— or so I
thought until I sloshed my way across the street. The water must have
already been comingover the main branch of the Nooksack. The Lummi
families who live in the fishing village must have a footof water inside
their homes by now. Since the water wasn't quite over our top doorstep
yet, I wanted torescue what I could from our trailer. I knew it wasn't
floating away, but it is in a bad place. My littlecockapoo who was
dog-paddling behind me seemed to be enjoying the filthy new lake. I
noticed thatmost of the neighbors had tied their smallest boat to the
front porch, but all we'ye got is an old canvaskayak. Afterwards, I got my
old kayak out of a nearby shack and tried paddling it home with my
dogbalancing on the stern. Unfortunately it sank twice before getting
there. I'd apparently forgotten tofiberglass a few punctures.^ ended up
just stashing it inside my step van. O.K., so we'll swim out of hereif we
have to. After we lifted the last of our house furniture onto blocks I
grabbed a couple of cameras andwent wading up the street. Marilyn tried
driving our car to the hill behind Marietta, next to the elementaryschool,
so we'd have brakes when we headed to town. Water was crossing the
intersection of MarineDrive and Rural Avenue, and was beginning to wash
away the edge of the road. [Continued on pg. 2.]Collective bargaining
urged by HARRY McFARLAND and SUKIDARD ARIAN The collective
bargainingissue will have to be solved in this legislative session, or
strikes may be the only alternative left for highereducation faculty. So
says Maurice Foisy, a member of the Faculty Coalition, who reiterated
thetestimony of others before the House Higher Education subcommittee
Friday at Western. Foisyquoted polls showing overwhelming support of
collective bargaining. Now, he said, all public employees,except college
and university faculty are covered by collective bargaining legislation.
Mark Wicholas,American Federation of Teachers local president, said
faculty do not have contracts, and the conditionsof employment are in a
handbook approved by the Board of Trustees. He also said there are
notsatisfactory grievance procedures, that a sustained loss of teaching
positions is caused by theconversion of the positions to administrative
slots, and there is a lack of administrative accountability.Leslie Rowe,
representing the Washington Education Association, said a good collective
bargaining billshould have "clear, precise language," but that "the right
to bargaining does not mean the differences can be solved." A former
Council of Faculty Representative memberr, Marvin Olmstead, said the
collectivebargaining bill introduced by Representative Richard King
(Everett) would be acceptable, but that studentrepresentatives engaged in
the process may be a hindrance. College President Paul J. Olscamp
saidrecently at an Associated Students board meeting that he would rather
not have collective bargaining, but if the faculty could not get what
"They need and deserve," then he might support it. The
subcommittee,chaired by Representative Art Moreau (D-Bellingham), also
heard testi-money on the state Council onPostsecondary Education (CPE)
Master Plan from Olscamp and CPE staff member Bill Chance. CPEhas drawn
up a plan for the future of higher education in the state. After receiving
input from across thestate, the council has reviewed the first 98 of the
201 proposals, striking, modifying and combining someof them, according
to Chance. Olscamp expressed satisfaction with the actions of the council
at thispoint, although the major portion of Western's objections to the
plan have not yet been reviewed by thecouncil.

Western Front Tuesday, January 13,1976 Neighbors pitch in as flood hits
hard [Continued from pg. 1.] A dump truck had just arrived and was about
to empty a load of sand on the paved roadway where it couldmost
conveniently be shoveled in the form of a pseudo-sandbag dam. Art
Humphreys, a neighbor andlong-time veteran at trying to help save both his
trailer and his village, began directing the half dozen other Lummi
volunteers. A half hour later, a second load of sand was finally dumped,
and everyone begantaking turns shoveling. The water was nearly a foot
deep where it was crossing the road, but the dambegan slowing it
considerably. Yet, we all knew the high tide would soon raise the river
and it would enter Marietta from downriver where there is no dike. After
shoveling for half an hour, I remembered about mystinkin' final exam at
Western which had probably already begun. Double bummer! We simply had
nochoice but to abandon our home and village before the flood reached its
peak. The water out front of theTribal Center for the Marietta Band of
the Nooksack Tribe was nearly waist deep as we headed for ourcar. My legs
were mighty tired by the time we reached dry land. Governor recommends
32 per centincrease of tuition at all levels There is little chance
college tuition rates will not be raised in theupcoming state supplemental
budget. With the inflation plus primary education financing
problems,lawmakers may reduce state appropriations to colleges and
universities while asking students to paymore, Western President Paul
Olscamp said recently. This trend is reflected in the
tuitionrecommendations of the advisory Council on Postsecondary Education
(CPE) staff and the Governor'sexpected budget proposal. CPE's and Gov.
Evans' recommendations are to raise tuition at the four statecolleges to
$564 a year, at the 26 community colleges and technical institutes to $330
a year, and at thetwo universities to $684 a year. This is a 32 per cent
tuition increase in tuition from the rate set fouryears ago, CPE Finance
Coordinator Denis Curry said Friday. The amounts CPE and Evans
willrecommend are designed to raise money while re-establishing the
1971-72 tuition ratios between thethree groups of higher learning
institutions. Also, Curry said, graduate students now pay an extra $60
per quarter, and CPE will recommend this be increased to $81. Veterans,
whose tuitions were frozen at the1971 level, may be required to pay 85 per
cent of the new tuition amounts at state-supported collegesand
universities, he added. Last session, the Governor recommended raising
university and communitycollege tuitions, but not state college tuitions.
.This plan — which did not pass the legislature
—responded to state colleges' complaints that they were
relatively overpriced, i.e., that community colleges were much less
expensive while universities were not much more expensive, Curry said.
But recentlystate college enrollments have risen, so the new
recommendations provide tuition increases for everyone. SANDBAGS AGAINST
THE WATER — Lummi volunteers battle the flooding
Nooksack. Our dogs werecompletely sopped, and they stank horrendously
while begging for us to let them in the car. We had nochoice, actually.
On the way to Western, we heard the radio announcer say that much of
Ferndale hadalready gone under. When we waded back through the cold water
that night, we were mighty grateful tofind that the flood had stopped a
couple of inches shy of entering our house. It wasn't until the
secondnight of the flood that we learned where the evacuation center was.
After the Scottish Lodge evacuationcenter had been evacuated, we had quite
a few roommates at the Broadway Christian Church. We wereprovided with
warm blankets, soft cots, plenty to eat and a dry place to study for our
final exams. Ourdogs were probably as glad as anyone to finally return to
our home, after camping for several days in theback of our car. An
unexpected Christmas present by LOUIE PHILLIPS Christmas is a hassle. You
goto school 90 miles from your family home. Finals Week is no time to
shop, and you wouldn't want tocarry your packages home anyway. You see,
I'm a member of that subculture which is foolish enough to travel by way
of thumb — and unfortunately by way of foot alttbo
often. My parents live in a Seattlesuburb at the north end of Lake
Washington. There is transit service to Seattle, but it's only on the
mainroad. Sometimes I take the bus, most often I hitchhike to the city
limits. In all cases, I have to walk tothe main highway. Mid-December is
always cold, but thank God it wasn't raining as I went out foranother day
of Christmas shopping. At school, I'm always rushed. So, you see, I'm
not inclined to walkrapidly when I'm not here. I saunter. Kind of shuffle
my feet in a haphazard way. I jaywalk when I feelthere might be a better
view from the other side of the street. My left foot trips over my right.
My eyesstare at the last leaf twirling on an otherwise barren limb. I
smile at kids pointing toy guns at me.Sometimes I feel they must think me
very odd. "An adult without a car?" It's about a mile to the highway.I was
walking in my laid-back manner — and then I saw a
little white card. It was a BankAmericard.Blue and white but worth its
weight in gold. I compared the signature on the card with nearby
mailboxesbut none matched. There are no instructions on the card to tell
the finder what to do with it. There is,however, an address and phone
number for its owner to report it missing. I thought this odd. How
couldone report the loss if they lost the number with the card? Add to
this the absence in the phone book of a BankAmericard listing. For a
moment I thought it might be nice to see the Swiss Alps in winter. I
couldgo to the airport, catch the first plane to Geneva and they'd never
catch me. Instead, I slipped the cardinto my wallet and continued on my
adventure to the city's downtown department stores. It's not that I'mso
honest. I'll lie whenever I can see an advantage in it. The next morning
I called the number on theback of the card. I talked first to a secretary
in BankAmericard's investigation office. From the tone of hervoice, I
sensed she had far fewer finders of credit cards than she had losers.
Then she gave me FrankJones, head of the office. We discussed where I
found the card, how it had been stolen, if I had foundanything else and
how to return it to his office. Then came the surprise. "Cut it in half,
Lou, and send itto me in a letter with your name and address," Jones said,
"and we'll send you a $25 reward." Trusteespass School of Education The
School of Education became a reality last week, when the Board ofTrustees
unanimously passed the proposal during their meeting in Fair-haven
Auditorium. Inpresenting the proposal, College President Paul J. Olscamp
said it had administrative approval withrecommendations that a roles and
missions statement be developed. Acting Vice President forAcademic
Affairs Loren Webb said the Associate Dean for Treacher Education Arnold
Gallegos isdeveloping the statement with the education faculty. The
statement will outline the ways the schoolwould interrelate with the
various colleges at Western. The roles and missions statement will be
given to Webb, who will present it to the Academic Coordinating Committee
(ACC). :••;; Gallegossaid the school
was a "significant step forward" that "finally gives a total, overall
concept for teachereducation at Western." The school will be implemented
in February, when an acting dean for theschool will be appointed.

byERDXMAGNUSON Next time you're caught siphoning gas by campus security,
don't compare it tobeing caught by the night watchman of a candy company.
All nine-full-time members of Western'ssecurity force are now
commissioned officers. Seven were commissioned by President Paul J.Olscamp
Dec. 11; the remaining two were commissioned Wednesday. "The main reason
for this step isto protect officers from legal action when it is found
necessary to detain a suspect," said R.G. Peterson, director of Campus
Safety and Security. Previously, the only legal authority officers had to
hold asuspect was in cases where there was reason to believe a felony had
been committed. Every citizen hasthis same right, he said. Officers will
not carry firearms, Peterson said, and the status of part-timemembers of
the force will remain unchanged. State law requires that all peace
officers are graduates of apolice academy. As commissioned officers,
full-time officers are now on an equal footing with those ofother
colleges and universities in the state. The change means that campus
security can legally detainthose suspected of committing a misdemeanor,
such as vandalism or petty theft, Peterson said.Previously, if someone
apprehended by security officers decided to leave before Bellingham
Policearrived, the only alternatives were to let him go or tail him until
police caught up with him, he added.Campus residents will not be affected
by the changes, Peterson said. "The vast majority of thosecommitting
robberies on campus are not members of the college community and regard
Western as anice ripe plum," he said. Now that Campus Security officers
can make arrests, Peterson believes theywill be seen as a greater threat
and act as a deterrant to crime. Board passes faculty allocationsProposed
part-time winter quarter faculty allocations for seven academic areas was
unanimouslyapproved at last Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting in
Fairhaven Auditorium. Due to an increase infall student enrollment above
that projected by the state, the Office of Program Planning and
FiscalManagement (the governor's budget office) has authorized the
expenditure of up to $35,000 toincrease faculty allocations for winter
and spring quarters. After consultation with various facultycommittees
and the administrative staff, College President Paul J. Olscamp and
Acting Vice Presidentfor Academic Affairs Loren Webb recommended to the
board that allocations be divided into part-timeassignments to meet
demands caused by increases in student enrollment during winter
quarter.According to Webb, Western's additional authorized allocations
would cover only three full-timepositions. The areas receiving positions
will be: English (composition); journalism; Fairhaven; speechpathology and
audiology; technology (photography); home economics; art; business
administrationand economics. The Allocations Advisory Committee will meet
this quarter to examine allocations forspring. Why the hassle? BY LIZ
RUST Western is funded according to enrollment projections made forthe
upcoming quarter by the Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management.
Formerly, whenenrollment exceeded state projections the school was allowed
to apply the extra local revenue fromstudent fees to its instructional
budget. However, a new funding contract with the State, limits the
abilityto use any extra additional funds, according to a memo from College
President Paul J. Olscamp andActing Vice President for Academic Affairs
Loren Webb. The projection number is given a leeway of oneand one-nalt
per cent. Under the new contract, if actual enrollment goes beyond or
beneath that margin,the extra revenue from student fees goes back to the
state's general fund. This situation aids the school if the final total is
within the one and one-half per cent margins. However, if the figure is
more than one and one-half per cent above the projection, as was the case
in fall 1975, Western does not receive extrafunding beyond one-and-a-half
per cent. According to Webb, the added student enrollment for fall
wasseven per cent, while the added local funding was only the allowable
one and one-half per cent. can 676-1304 for FREE DELIVERY min. order $

chairperson, Group 47 making comeback by HARRY McFARLANDSenator Henry M.
Jackson (D-Wash.) in an interview with his biographer Bill Prochnau
recalled aparticularly gory bull fight in Juarez, Mexico. The Senator,
sitting in the front row, became sick when thematador killed the bull.
Later in the interview, when the subject was Vietnam, Jackson told of a
visit to the front lines, where the arms and legs of men Uttered the area.
He did not feel the revulsion of a bull dyingin an arena. Prochnau asked
why and recalled, "After a long pause, Jackson replied. In a voice filled
withcompassion and perhaps even tenderness, yet with the great weight of
his responsibilities, he said,'Because killing the bull was not
necessary.' " Surely, Jackson has realized the futility of Vietnam.
Killing men in a war to settle political differences is as necessary as
killing a bull for entertainment. Manyconsider Jackson the top Democratic
presidential candidate. That's not impressive in a race for theDemocratic
nomination comparable to the starting gate at Belmont. In a report by the
Citizens Look atCongress, a Ralph Nader organization, Jackson was shown to
be the liberal politician's nightmare,because he strongly supports the
military-industrial complex and holds a hard-line defense posture.McGovern
aide Frank Mankiewicz said a 1972 Jackson presidential nomination would
have made a fourthparty inevitable. Considering what that election gave
us, that seems to be a naive statement from theman who wrote "Perfectly
Clear: Nixon from Whittier to Watergate." Jackson's regaining of
nationalrecognition (he was John Kennedy's first choice for vice president
in 1960) has been a long road. He wascloser to the presidency in 1960 than
he is now. This comeback is typical of Jackson. He hasconsistently been
a hard-worker, who has brought federal money home to his constituents as
any goodSenator should. Conservationists have a friend in Jackson, who is
the only elected official to win theSierra Club's John Muir Award for
Conservation (1969J. He also has won the National WildlifeFederation's
Legislator of the Year Award (1970) and the Bernard Baruch Conservation
Award (1969). Hisonly non-conservation stand of major importance was his
support of the Supersonic Transport. In theNader group's report, Jackson
survived with a few minor scrapes and bruises, but without loss of limb
orportions of the skin. That is amazing for a man whom someone asked
about, "Can you see that man asPresident?" To which came the answer,
"No." Mainly because men dying doesn't make him sick. Jewish students

Tuesday, January 13,1976 Western Front 5 * %' Pro-life viewpoint on
abortion expressed coed argues for rights of unborn child gt; gt; o EC
gt;»l a cq gt;»l -a , a, "SCOOP"
— Sen. HenryJackson, D-Wash„ gave a
"non-political speech" at the Bellingham Elks Club Dec. 27. The
occasionwas a breakfast in honor of a new wing for St. Joseph's Hospital.
Editor, Western Front: I am writing inresponse to the two letters
pertaining to abortion in the Friday, Nov. 21 Front. My purpose in
writing isnot to preach or to set up clear guidelines on the rights and
wrongs in this issue. I recognize that on theabstract level
— ethically and morally there may be black and white
boundaries: in a general, idealsense, we can speak of abortion being
absolutely right or wrong. However, on the human, individuallevel, the
issue is uot so clear cut. Each person must finally decide for himself,
and only God knows allthe tensions and considerations that enter into
the decision. Therefore, it is not my place to passjudgment. However, I
would like to present another viewpoint on this issue and facts and ideas
which are most often ignored. It may be true that a woman has a right to
do whatever she chooses with her ownbody. But to go so far as to say she
has a right to infringe upon the rights of another individual
— thehuman fetus — is an entirely
different thing. Do we really doubt that the fetus is a human being?
Twoyears ago when scientists- were able to fertilize a human egg and see
it through the initial stages ofdevelopment, the papers headlined:
"Human Life in a Test Tube!" Human life in a glass tube but acancerous
growth in a woman's womb? Many of us are willing to allow that the fetus
is human, but deny it is a person with human rights (as the January
Article accurate; information given misleading Editor,Western Front: I
would like to take this opportunity to thank the Front and Bob Slone for
the accuratearticle in the Nov. 21 issue entitled, "Social violations by
students should be handled by the courts."This article described a basic
underlying principle of the Student Rights and Responsibilities TaskForce
proposal. That principle being that 18-year-olds are legally considered
responsible for theiractions and should be entitled to all adult rights,
including the right to due p ocess of law. I made onestatement that I
feel needs to be corrected. Academic probation is determined solely by
grade pointaverage and becomes part of the permanent academic record. Due
to some misinformation, I statedthat in the past the college judicial
system had used academic probation as a form of disciplinary action.
This is not so. It is important for the student to know any disciplinary
action taken by the collegenever becomes part of the permanent academic
record. However, the college judicial system hasacted capriciously when
imposing disciplinary action on students. For example, a student,
onceaccused of a drug code violation, was arbitarily sentenced to keep
their room clean for a given periodof time. What disciplinary action a
college judicial body may take is not defined in current college policy
and is left up to the discretion of the judicial body. As a result of
this lack of guidelines, prudent judicialaction has not been forthcoming
through existing judicial bodies. The educational value of such afutile
process obviously lacks any substance. Bob Anderson Student Services
RepresentativePatriotic commission reaffffiiir ms revolutionary origins,
ideals Editor, Western Front: The People'sBicentennial Commission,
having nearly 20 interested people, has been officially recognized by
theAssociated Students as a campus organization, and plans to ^LBA| gt;
investigate (sic) its officespace Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in Viking Union
224. The objectives of this organization are twofold.First, the
commission aims to reacquaint people with America's revolutionary origins
and thedemocratic principles espoused by our founders 200 years ago.
And, in a modern context, it isprepared to inform people of the need to
apply those principles to the economic institutions inAmerica today. The
commission's function is to advance these two objectives by providing
specificeducational materials and by suggesting social action programs
that can be utilized by students,faculty, campus organizations and
academic departments. Come and join the patriots in the Spirit of 76.
Roger Hardesty Coordinator 1972 Superior Court decision reflected). How
do we justify labeling human beings as non-persons in our own
self-interest? The idea that we should allow abortion by l aw toprotect
the woman who is pregnant because of rape is simply misguided. Very few
women becomepregnant through rape. In the U.S. last year out of 23,000
reported rape victims, only 9 becamepregnant. If even those few chose ~to
abort, I could not pass judgment. I do know one woman whobecame pregnant
because of rape. Though unmarried she had the baby, and has no problems
loving it. It is not the child's fault that he/she conceived. However, to
say we need abortion on demand to protect these women is simply an
excuse. Since when do our laws protect such small minorities? It is
truethat pregnancy takes time out of one's life, and may interrupt a
career. It's hot as though you had to beflat on your back for nine
months, however. Are we that impatient, and that selfish in today's
world thatwe can't wait 4 or so months? As a matter of fact, technically
a woman can take only six weeks offfrom work to have a baby, and most
employers cannot fire you or discriminate against you simplybecause you
are pregnant. There is always a possibility of pregnancy when persons
engage in sexualactivity. Perhaps we must learn to be more responsible
and more willing to deal with theconsequences of our actions. It is true
that many children who are born are unwanted and the parentunable to care
for them adequately (whatever that means). Oh,, but there are so many
people who would love to have these children; there are people even now
who must wait three years to adopt a child. And though it may be true
also that this is an ugly world, what right have we to be rid of him/her
to protecthim/her from what we judge will be an awful life? Finally, in
response to the person who said that menmust be careful about how much
they say on this issue: it is true that a man will never have to makethis
decision and must not force a woman to make a certain decision
— because he has no idea whatit is really like to face
pregnancy, a break in life, a great new responsibility, etc. ' .
However, a man does have a right to defend another human individual to
whom injustice is being done. To say he can't is likesaying a person
cannot protest against war or hunger because he will never be a soldier
or be starving.'There is a wider issue involved here than that of woman's
rights — the issue of the rights of theunborn child.
Also, the child is not only the woman's child, it is the father's also.
He has a responsibilitytowards the child and towards the mother too. I
realize that this is a broad and complicated issue. I feel that many
abortion advocates have not clearly acknowledged many of the pro-life
arguments. Thank you for the opportunity to share my views. Chris

6 )Westera££0nt Tuesday, January 13,1976 Production
of 'Easter' proves disappointing by BARBWEISS A groping, struggling
performance of August Strindberg's cliche-like allegory "Easter,"
waspresented by Western's Theatre last Friday night. Strindberg's
faltering light drama, viewed by areceptive, fair-sized audience in Old
Main Theatre, was a graduate thesis production directed by StuartPaxton.
The play's Eastery themes of suffering, patience and the perils of pride
were intertwinedallegorically with the crucifixion and resurrection of
Christ. The story takes place three days beforeEaster, in a small town in
southern Sweden. The stilted script correlates the guilt and struggles of
theHeyst family with the doom and subsequent glory of Christ's account.
Frequently quoting the Bible andold proverbs, the script often sounds like
a rambling religious cliche, which is appropriate for its intent,but
neither interesting or intense enough to be moving. Working with a script
that seemed disjointed andhard to grasp, the characters did not appear
sturdv or uniform. The performances of Ethel Raulston andDavid H. Locey
lacked depth and consistency, but it is difficult to discern whether the
deficiency was inthe script or their renditions. The sensitive, but almost
too sugary sweet Elenora, was portrayed byMarilyn McLean, who gave one of
the few consistent and fresh interpretations of the evening. The play did
relate a strong sense of discomfort, anxiety and emptiness in which the
characters were relentlesslycaught up. A struggling surge for release
mounted throughout the performance but was only partiallyresolved by the
climax, which left this writer touched, but not satisfied. Stuart
Paxton's direction of thisdisjointed drama was a good effort, which could
have been more effective had the characters been given a more secure
vehicle to carry them. STUDENT APPOINTMENTS Are needed for the

Tuesday, January 13,1976 %B^«¥ront Israeli poet
speaks-reads by JULIE STEINBERG SoftspokenYehuda Amichai, winner of the
Bialik prize, Israel's highest literary award, wove a spell of
warmth,laughter and thoughtful-ness as he read selections of his poetry
for an attentive audience of 70, Fridaynight in Lecture Hall 2. Poems of
peace, love and war were interspersed with his comments about hislife,
writings and observations. Amichai was born in Germany in 1924 and
resettled in Israel at the age of 21. He fought in the Jewish Brigade of
the British army in World War II and in each of Israel's wars.
Hisfeelings on war are reflected in his poetry as well as his religious
background which he said has helped to shape his way of writing. "Poetry
is about everything in your life," he said. "Writing poetry is the
mostconservative and the most avant-garde thing together." A poem about a
mother soothing her son to sleep he called a kind of "cradle song,"
describing it as being both wounding and healing at the same time."Every
poem is a kind of cradle song," he said. "Poets must stick to reality."
Amichai read a poem ofpeace first in English and then Hebrew, Of love
poems he said, "A happy love poem is boring. All you can say is I love
you, I love you, I love you, over again." A few lines from one selection
read, "I am a manalone. I am not a democracy." He kept the audience
laughing with comments like "sometimes I hateliving in a town (Jerusalem)
where every stone is holy" and "Hebrew is a poor language for cursing.
Youhave to use Russian or Arabic." Amichai was one of five guests of honor
in Vienna this fall at the annualmeeting of P.E.N., an international
literary society. He has written four volumes of poetry, two novels,
abook of plays and a book of short stories. Jazz artists featured in
winter concerts Jazz fans are in luckthis quarter, being graced with two
shows this quarter that were not included in the Winter quartercalendar of
events. Terry Garthwaite, former lead singer for Joy of Cooking, will
come to the Concert HallFeb. 7. Now on her own, she plays guitar and sings
for her new album. "Terrv." Garthwaite sings in pop,rock, and jazz, with
more emphasis on the latter in her new album. According to "Rolling
Stone", she"exudes a cool self-containment and feminist reserve rare
among women rock performers." Tickets for the 8 p.m. concert will be
$3.50. McCoy Tyner Sextet will appear in the Concert Hall a month later,
March7. For the last two years, "Downbeat" has selected Tyner as Jazz
pianist of the year and he has alsobeen "Downbeat's" Man of the Year and
Jazz Group Leader of the Year. Tyner was formerly JohnColtrane's piano
player and has come out with many albums, including "Trident," "Echoes of
a Friend,"and "Atlantis." McCoy Tyner will play two shows (7:30 and 10
p.m.) for $4 a ticket. YEHUDA AMICHAIExhibition brings many art forms The

in-depth workshops on the business aspects of art.Resume writing
portfolio presentation and bookkeeping are some of the topics that will be
covered in theclass. The classes will also feature guest speakers with
specializations in the specific workshop areas."We would like to present
enough information and ideas to the artists so they can become
self-sufficient.Too many good artists develop their talent in a specific
area, like Bellingham, and then feel they have togo to the big city to
make their work pay," said Bonifas. Other features of the resource center
includebrochures and pamphlets on a number of art related subjects,
sources for finding art materials, grantand scholarship information, as
well as books and reference materials. "We want to provide one placewhere
the artist can go to get all the information on any art related subject,"
Bonifas said, "as well asprovide an educational institution for people who
would like to learn and get involved in art." So far thecenter has had
enthusiastic support from the business and art community and they are
hoping to buildand expand if possible. For more information on the center

Tuesday, January 13,1976 Western Front 11 Not all gays conform to
society's stereotype by GREGHOOFNAGLE For this reporter Western is
certainly a heterogenous school. Coming from Yakima, I have met few Hare
Krishnas, liberal extremists or gay people. The situation at Western is
quite different. One night while talking to Bill, a friend of mine, the
conversation drifted to the gay world. Bill surprised mewhen he suddenly
remarked, "You see . . . I'm gay." I wasn't repulsed, only a little
shocked and veryfascinated. Here was an opportunity to discover what
makes a gay person tick. We agreed to meet a few nights later to discuss
his perceptions on gay life. Bill is tall, slender and soft-spoken, with a
crop ofrich brown hair and rather penetrating brown eyes. He implied
throughout our chat that gay relationshipsand straight relationships are
alike Having sex with another man, Bill said, is like a
heterosexualencounter. "To me it's fulfilling and pleasurable, and that
basically is what sex is about, isn't it?" Heemphasized, though, that he
doesn't care for a purely physical relationship. "Obviously, I'm
drawnphysically to a man," he said, but he added that he looks for an
emotional experience. However, Bill does have physical preferences "I
prefer masculine men to feminine men . . . but sometimes I'll be attracted
to a man just for his personality." Bill said he first became aware of
his desires for men in the ninth grade.A little reservedly, he recalled
that he was arrested that year when police discovered he had been mailing
suggestive notes to a man. "What it boils down to is that I was arrested
for soliciting," he explained. As a result, Bill's parents discovered his
situation. They since have been concerned, he said, because "mythree other
brothers are all Music prof to perform Composer-pianist Edwin La-
Bounty of music facultywill present the first concert of the quarter 8:15
p.m. Thursday in die Concert Hall. He will lead threeother musicians in
a presentation of "Music from His Circle," a group of compositions by La-
Bounty,some of his friends and Western students. 'normal'." he added
very wryly that one of his brothers is"almost an alcoholic." After Bill
became aware of his sexuality he voraciously read everything he couldfind
on homosexuality. "I was confused and really upset to read about how
awful I was supposed to be."Since Bill doesn't seem to fit any social
stereotypes of a "fag," he really hasn't been teased about beingfeminine
except by some "little macho brats pestering me because I would rather
play with girls." Billwas especially indignant about contact sports. "I
don't understand them," he said, "they make no senseto me." His pastimes,
however, do not show femininity. Non-contact sports, movies and symphonies
are his favorite hobbies, indicating normal tastes. Bill said he has told
few people of his sexuality, In fact, hehas always been nervous about
"opening up." He admires students in Western's Gay People's
Alliancebecause they are open. He said wistfully, "I wish I could be like
that." Bill looked back to his first gayencounter during the summer of
1973. "I first went to a theater that showed 'all male films for the
matureadult,' then I went to a gay street dance and hit the bars with a
gay friend." Most of Bill's bar-life centersin the Seattle area. He
mentioned Shelley's Leg, the Golden Horseshoe and the Trojan Shield as
amonghis favorites. "I enjoy the Trojan Shield the most," he said. "They
let lots of people in and the dance flooris always packed." But gay bars
aren't all a bed of roses. "I find gay bars very cliquish, and I really
feelsorry for someone who is just coming out, because until you are
accepted it can be lonely," Bill said.Bill is critical of people who come
to the bars just for a "pickup." Lots of people do, he said, but once
aperson is accepted "the people are friendly and become great friends."
Bars are not the only place to "get a little action," though. Bill frowned
on the method used in restrooms. He explained that a gay guy in astall
will move his foot toward the edge of the next stall. If the guy in that
stall is interested, he'll move his foot over so that it touches the
other guy's foot. At that time "they make arrangements" or perform
oralsex in one of the stalls. Very little, if any, emotion is involved,
Bill said. He considers restrooms "a tackyresort." When I asked Bill
about the language gay people use, he looked at me wonderingly. "I've
neverheard any real language that can be called exclusively gay language,"
he said. "Maybe in less liberaltimes it was necessary, but now I think
it's ridiculous." He said terms like "drag queen" aren'tnecessarily gay
words. "Drag Queen is just the best term for a man dressed as a woman."
Toward theend, our conversation got a little more serious. I wanted Bill's
reaction to accusations that gay peopleare mentally ill, bad influences
and "reprobates." He seemed to weigh his answer behind a doubtfulbrow. "I
often wonder if they (the accusations) aren't true," Bui responded.
"When a gay person is notallowed to express himself, he may have emotional
problems. A lot of gay people are disturbed; beinghappy is just a front
they put on," he continued. Bill said he feels much more at home with gay
people."Going to gay bars I can be with people who feel pretty much as I
do. A lot of gay friends are true friendsin time of need." Yet, Bill saw
little distinction between gays and straights. Even though he claimed
hewould never want to be heterosexual, he probably best summed his
feelings when he told me, "I knowgay people that are positively repulsive,
but I also know some straight people that are equally
repulsive."htbbyhive arts, crafts and models downtown Bellingham 111 E.

12 Western Front Tuesday, January 13,1976 Today's student revolution
spiritual, not political .byDAVENEFF A 1975-76 brand of student activism
is alive at Western, although it might not be asobvious as it was in the
1960s. The new brand of activism is a blend of "cultural revolution," a
women'sstudy group, and a campaign for a public interest research group.
Unlike the late 1960s and early 1970s, when anti-war protesters frequently
congregated in Red Square, 1976's gatherings there are religious
innature. At 8:45 a.m., twice-weekly during fall quarter and occasionally
this quarter, Bill Waring strumsan acoustic guitar as approximately 60
people gather around him to sing hymns in the square. "I couldn't say
whether we're activists," Waring said one day last quarter after such a
gathering dispersed. "Thereason we come out here is to sing praise to our
Lord and have time together with our brothers andsisters." In 1971, the
year the morning gatherings first began, Waring says, "my roommate tells
me itwas a pretty turbulent time" at Western. On Nov. 1 that year,
according to the Nov. 2, 1971 Front, anestimated 750 students gathered in
Red Square to protest the then-pending five megaton nuclearunderground
explosion on Amchitka Island, off Alaska's coast. Exactly 18 months
earlier, the Frontreported that on May 5, 1970 an estimated 2,000 students
gathered in Red Square to protest the killingsof four students at Kent
State and the Cambodian invasion. What's happened to student activism
thataccompanied the "turbulent" late 1960s and early 1970s? Views held by
a dozen students, surveyed, by the Front recently showed that three
students equated the word "activism" wfth violence. Four studentsin the
survey said, student activism may no longer be necessary because college
officials have becomemore sensitive to student needs as manifested by an
improved college curriculum. These views areunderscored by the fact that
there are only two campus-based political organizations at Western
— theAsian Political Union and the Bellingham Young
Democrats, according to records at the A.S. ActivitiesOffice. There are
those, however, that say activism isn't dead, but instead manifested in
different socialand political forms. "The Cultural Revolution" One of
these is a Fairhaven student who prefers thepseudoname Jim. Jim, a Vietnam

Tuesday, January 13,1976 Western Front 13 Students' activism culturally
oriented Continued from pg.12. veteran, said he participated in "four or
five demonstrations" at Western in the early 1970s, includinga march on
Bellingham's City Hall after the Amchitka rally at Red Square. Jim says
the demonstrations,while showing the ability of people to organize as a
collective unit, "were more of an exercise thananything else." They fell
short, he said, because, despite demonstrations, the underground nuclear
testand the war proceeded. Today, Jim says he "and I suspect others" are
now "more involved in a solidrevolution than back then
— a cultural revolution involved with the spiritual
aspects of human beingsrather than structural organizations. "I'm not so
involved (today) in politics," Jim said. "In fact, I'd ratherrun or
fortify my situation than be involved in any type political movement."
Women's Study GroupAmong the approximate five campus women organizations
dealing with academic and social subjects isa weekly woman's study group
that began at Fairhaven last fall. The study group's coordinator,
seniorDebby Gay, said the initial idea of the study group was "to get
women together to discuss the differentfeminist groups within the movement"
from the 1860s to the 1970s. Gay said the 11 to 17 member groupbegan its
contemporary study with Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique, which
Gay said helped spawn the National Organization of Women (NOW). NOW,
according to Gay, is a "very liberalmovement" concerned with changing laws
and making women equal." It was NOW's liberalism, Gay said, which gave
birth to the radical feminist movement between 1965 and 1970. Radical
feminists placedmore emphasis than NOW "on sexism, personal life, and
sexual roles," Gay said. "For this group ofwomen (radical feminists), the
enemy became 'men' as a caste." "It's important," said Gay, "to look
atthe differences (between feminists), to see where we're the same so we
can support each other'sbattles." Wash-PIRG Organizer Junior Steve
McCallister says he's been politically active ever sincehe.was a teenager.
In 1971, however, McCallister said he dropped out of activist circles
"becauseactivists had violence directed toward them, not by them." "The
first idea of activism is getting thingsdone," said McCallister, today one
of 30 campus organizers of Students for WashPIRG. "When this ismet with
violence, you don't get things accomplished." WashPIRG, in McCallister's
view, "is aconstructive form of activism that can provide a means to
channel frustration into meaningful change." . -•
« * ,.- For the past nine weeks, McAllister and his WashPIRG
colleagues have been attempting toget the necessary 60 per cent study body
approval for a two-dollar per quarter tuition increase to fund aWash-PIRG
chapter here. While confident the required total can be reached
(currently in excess of 4,000 have agreed to the increase), McCallister
said the campaign "promises to be a long process." Heexplained that final
approval of the Wash-PIRG proposed funding mechanism has to be approved
byWestern's Board of Trustees. In 1972, the trustees, whose membership
then, except for one person, was the same as today's, rejected a similar
Wash-PIRG funding scheme because "the proposed fundingmechanism far
outweighs any educational benefits to be derived from the proposal,"
according to theminutes of the board's June 1, 1972 meeting. Local group
proposes directory for county lawyers by BOB SLONE A long-standing code
of ethics which prevents lawyers from advertising their services isbeing
questioned and may be changed, according to Jerry Richard, Fairhaven
instructor. Richard headsa group concerned with developing a lawyers
directory for Whatcom County. The group has run into a snag in the ethics
code which is being upheld at this time by the Washington State
BarAssociation. According to Richard, the American Bar Association will
be reviewing this and otherproblems this spring. Until such time as the
code is changed, the directory will remain on the drawingboards, Richard
said. Several local lawyers have voiced support for the change, should
it go into effect."It would be advantageous for the public to be aware of
who an attorney is," said Timothy W. Carpenter,a Bell-ingham lawyer.
Local attorney Dennis Hind-man said the directory would be "a public
service" aslong as it was "done in good taste." Hindman said there was a
chance this advertising could get out ofhand, with some of the larger
firms developing a "possible monopoly" in that area. "People should
beaware that there is a lawyer referral service in Des Moines," said
attorney Robert E. Beaty. "But therewould be an overriding benefit in a
directory of this type." Students could observe wage talks; unionleaders
against proposal bySUKIDARDARIAN and HARRY McFARLAND Students will be
givenobservers rights in collective bargaining sessions of some faculty
leaders, if the King bill is passedthis legislative session. An amendment
to the labor relations bill which calls for collective bargaining
foreducational employes (including faculty) also calls for a team of no
more than three students to bepresent at collective bargaining sessions.

Saturday night as Western's basketball squad rolled over the Oregon
College of Education Wolves, 93-70. At notime were the Viks in any
danger of losing the lead as they methodically widened the gap. The
Wolveswere never able to recover from Western's first half surge finding
themselves behind 46-25 at the half."They outfought and out-hustled us,
particularly in the first half," Wolves Coach Bob McCullough, said
ofWestern. "We did hustle the second half, but Western was a little

Jack Ecklund attributed much of the Vikings'success to outstanding defense
the first half, and a patient offense with controlled fast breaks.
Although the game did not seem to be the most exciting to watch, it
certainly did not lack in performances.Guard Dave Wood broke the single
game assists records with 15 for the Viks. Rob Visser, Vik center,had 13
rebounds and 20 points. Vik guard Brad Fuhrer continued to be leading
scorer for Western,pumping in 28 points. Freshman guard Craig Erick-sen
contributed 10 points for Western. Ericksen tookover starting duties from
senior Scott Curran. "We finally got everything together," Ericksen said
of their win. "Defense is what did it. OCE is a good ball club."
Ecklund, who played everyone on the bench,said they all played well and
was particularly pleased with Ericksen's defense and forward GregSmith's
rebounding and defensive efforts. Smith had six rebounds and 12 points.
"Wood penetratedvery well and when there is a shooter like Fuhrer, he's
bound to give you trouble," McCullough said. "We were simply outplayed."
Saturday night's victory gave Western a 6-6 record and follows a two
gamewinning streak from Vik contests over the holidays. Western
participated in two tournaments during thevacation, winning three and
losing four. At the Balladtown Classic, the Viks placed third, winning
one game in four attempts. The single victory was over Western Baptist
College, 78-67, with Smith's fineefforts of 28 points and 18 rebounds.
Visser contributed 24 points and ten rebounds, while Wood tied the
school record with 12 assists. The Vikings' losses were to Whitworth
College, 70-58, Gon-zaga, 85-69, and George Fox, 72-60. Visser grabbed 18
rebounds and blocked five shots in the George Fox defeat. Western then
followed up with a fourth place finish at the John Lewis Holiday Classic,
with a 2-1record. The wins were over Warner Pacific College, 82-70, and
St. Martins College, 74-53. DespiteFuhrer's 27 points against Lewis and
Clark College, Western was dropped 76-72. Fuhrer was namedto the

Tuesday, January 13,1976 Western Front 15 Vikettes dribble Oregon by
CAROLYN PRICE The crowdthat slowly trickled into Carver Gym during the
Western-Oregon State University women's preliminarymatch to the men's
basketball game Saturday night had good reason to sit and read the
programinstead. The Vikettes ripped Oregon, 76-30, and only those earnest
basketball diehards who enjoywatching constant turnovers and fast breaks
paid attention. The victory gave Western a perfect 4-0 league record and
5-2 overall. First-year Oregon Coach Mary Covington, seemed a little
lackadaisical as shewatched her team warm up. Four of her starters were
out with injuries and she had already seen theBeavers beaten by scores of
97-17 and 56-16 this season. Oregon constantly tried to
penetrateWestern's defense, but wound up committing a total of 54
turnovers which saw the "running blue" grab the ball and fast break down
the court for more baskets. Western coach Lynda Goodrich praised
theteam's traditional one-on-one defense, but gave special credit to
forward Diane Bjerke for creating manyof Oregon's turnovers. Joni Slagle,
the VIkettes'big gun, again led the squad in scoring and rebounding.The
5-10 center scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to boost her scoring
average to 22.8 pointsper game. It was obvious the Vikettes played up to
Slagle's quick firing and scoring accuracy. Theyrepeatedly fed her the ball
on inbounds passes, under the basket and outside the key, and she
showedshe had the touch. Third-year varsity guards Dee Dee Molner and
Charmon Odle contributed to the rompas they popped in 12 and 14 points
respectively. Odle led in assists with nine. Western was gt; notentirely
healthy either. Starting forward Bethany Ryals sprained an ankle in
practice last week and guardShelly Kulstad has been sidelined due to
illness since last month. Both are expected to resume practice this week.
The Vikettes played a five game slate during the Christmas vacation.
Western crushed itsfirst two league opponents, Seattle Pacific College
(SPC), 85-55, and Washington State University 89-55. Slagle was high
pointer in both games, scoring 20 and 29 respectively. Western won only
one of thethree practice games in a six team post-Christmas Invitational
Tournament at SPC. They were topped by Lumberman's-Bellevue AAU, 80-58, and
Victoria, British Columbia Club, 84-59. The lone tournamentvictory was
over Dr. Bernard's-Port-land AAU, 80-58. Three Western varsity alumni
from the past twoyears played on two of these AAU teams. They were former
outside sharpshooting guard and last year'sjunior varsity coach Wendy
Hawley (Dr. Bernard's) and forwards Claudia Haaker and Sue
Stange(Lumberman's). Slagle garnered a high of 44 points and 36 rebounds
for the three games, while Molnercontributed 22 assists. r Commentary Peg
Bolek, coach, dies Assistant women's basketball coachMargaret (Peg)
Bolek, 24, died of a heart attack Dec. 10 at her home in Bellingham. Peg,
a physicaleducation major at Western, was buried in her home state of New
Jersey. While at Western, Peggy wasvery active in the sports program and
respected as a friend, player and coach. Peg may have seemedshy to her
many acquaintances, but her close friends were drawn to her infectious
smile and thesomewhat mysterious way her warmth and sensitivity grasped
them. She needed only six more creditsto complete her coaching minor, but
she had already gained experience in the field. She was
assistantvolleyball coach at Sehome High School last fall, women's, junior
varsity basketball coach this year, andshe taught tennis and coached
Softball in Bellingham's Park and Recreation Program last summer.
Pegalso played varsity volleyball and basketball for two years at Western,
but most of her friendsconsidered tennis to be her best game. Peg will be
missed, but those who knew and loved her canhonestly say their lives were
enriched by her friendship. A Peg Bolek Memorial Scholarship Fund is
nowbeing set up for needy women in the physical education department.
