3  Prcs. Ross on low rung of pay ladder  His $74,200salary may rise,  but
boost to equality unlikely  By Peanna Shaw  He's the poor boy on the block.
 At$74,200, Western President  G. Robert Ross earns less money  per year
than any other president  of afour-year college in state. And  although a
bigger slice of the  budgetary pie may be served up  soon, hisportion is
unlikely to  change his ranking.  Western's Board of Trustees  probably
will discuss a raise forRoss at its February board meeting,  although no
agenda has been  set, board member Curtis Dal-rymple  said.  He said the
board normally tries  to review the president's salary  once a year,
usually inJanuary,  but a cancellation of this month's  meeting postponed
the matter  until next month.  Ross, whobecame president of  Western with a
$70,000 salary in  January of 1983, received his last  raise over 18months
ago.  But whatever the salary boost  settled on, Dalrymple said it may  not
pull Ross out of hisplace in the  salary basement, and it certainly  won't
be of the magnitude of the  salary boost received byWashington  State
University President  Glenn Terrell.  Terrell was granted a whopping  19.3
percentpay hike by WSU's  Board of Regents in a controversial  November
executive session,  increasing his1985 salary from  $88,884 to $106,000 a
year.  The increase, which would have  made Terrell the state'shighest-paid
 employee, brought howls of  protest from around the state and  was reduced
last Friday to amore  seemly 6.7 percent increase, in  keeping with raises
granted university  faculty.  Dalrymplespeculated that  Western's boards
also will hold the  presidential salary boost close to  the 6.7
percentfigure received by  faculty.  A full 6.7 percent hike would  place
Ross's salary at $79,500, only  slightlyabove that of Joseph  Olander, the
new presidet of the  Evergreen State College. Olander  was hired onJan. 1
for a salary of  $78,588, a figure called "out of  line" by Dalrymple.  "I
think the president ofEvergreen  is overpaid and he'll probably  continue
to be paid more than  CENTRAL  EASTERNEVERGREEN  WESTERN  STATE UNIVERSITY 
PRESIDENTS' SALARIES  DEKtl  (Source—Council of
Presidents Office, Olympia.)  the president of Western even after  a raise,
but I can't do anything  aboutwhat Evergreen's board  pays their
president." he said.  Paul Ford, vice president for  Academic Affairs,also
deplored  the discrepancy of salaries between  Olander and Ross, noting
that  Evergreen is aboutone-fourth the  size of Western, based on student 
population.  He also pointed out that the  salaries ofpresidents of
Washington's  other two regional universities  were substantially higher
than  thatreceived by Ross.  "The salary here should be comparable  to a
peer institution out of  state or in state,but Western has  none in the
state," Ford said,  explaining a peer institution is one  that approximates
insize and  scope.  Ford said a separate list of out-of-  state peer
institutions, drawn up  by the state Officeof Financial

to inadequate funds  By Tricia Meriwether  The State Councilfor
Postse-condary  Education (CPE)  informed 809 students just before 
Christmas break that: "It is withregret that we must notify you that 
winter quarter State Need Grant  payments have been reduced by  $50 . . . 
According to the letter, many  more students applied for financial  aid,
and were eligible for StateNeed Grants this year than had been 
anticipated. Therefore, cuts had to  be made.  "It took us bysurprise,"
said  John Klacik, acting director of  student financial aid.  In August,
the financial aiddepartment first heard of a problem  with funding at a CPE
meeting.  It was announced thai the  statehad over-extended itself by  $1.1
million with State Work  Study and State Need Grant  awards, Klaciksaid. 
Tentative grant amounts usually  are established in the spring in  order
for students to make plans  for the following school year.  But, in the
summer, campus  administrators understood that  action mightbe taken to cut
back  the awards, Klacik said.  Klacik's committee asked if the  cuts could
wait untilspring pending  the legislature's decision to provide  students
with supplemental aid,  but was notified inDecember the  cuts would take
place wintei  quarter.  In total, $40,450 was revoked  1 from students
atWestern, he said.  One state grant recipient, senior  Katy Hollingsworth,
wondered,  "How can theypromise money  they didn't have to begin with? I 
had no idea there was even a  chance that wouldhappen. I was  counting on
that money for things  I need."  Grant recipients could get  another $50 to
$70cut I n their  payments this spring, without any  refunds of money lost
this quarter,  Klacik said.  But theCPE has requested that  the state
provide supplemental aid  to cover the funds lost. If the legislatureagrees
to this request, all  State Need Grants will be reinstated  to their
original level, and  the loss thisquarter will be  refunded. Klacik said. 
"We have no idea what will  happen,* Klacik said. Ine Legislaturehas until
June to decide if ft  will reimburse students with supplemental  aid.

2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985  ANDY PERDUE  Conflicts over the
Bakerview IceArena may end Western's  home season.  Home hockey ends?  By
Bob Marjanovich  A conflictbetween Western's  hockey team and the
Bellingham  Minor Hockey Association  regarding the rentalagreement  of
Bakerview Ice Arena could  cause the cancellation of the Vik-
•  ings remaining homegames.  "Our agreement that we had 
with the arena (which is run by  Minor Hockey Association) inregard to ice
rental, crowd control  and so on, was in question,  and we weren't
satisfied with  some ofthe things they were asking,  so we canceled any
further  activities . . . until we were able  to work out acontract," Coach
 John Utendale said.  He said at a meeting last week  the association
resulted in acontract  being agreed to verbally by  both sides, but he
would not disclose  the terms for fear theymay  hamper the negotiations. 
The conflict was not the cause  of the Bellingham Blazer gamecancellation
on Jan. 18, Viking  hockey Manager Chet Cery said.  "The Blazers canceled
the  game astheir playoffs were coming  up," Corey said.  The main issue in
the current  negotiations is crowd control  and how to handle the alcohol 
problem in the stands, Utendale  said.  Utendale said the team will be 
incharge of providing security  for future home games.  As of press time,
the Friday  game against theUniversity of  Washington at the arena was on, 
Utendale said, but should the  negotiations "fall apart," the  game will be
canceled.  WESTERN FRONT BUSINESS OFFICE STAFF  College Hall #71 Phone

joined the army?  Shhh!  Sowhat.  Lines growing larger for  Arntzen IBM
computers  By Andy Perdue  Students tired of waiting in linefor textbooks
and financial aid  checks shouldn't bother going to  Arntzen Hall computer
center.  JoanHayes, academic services  coordinator for the computer center,
 said she is trying to devise a  plan toexpand the Arntzen Hall  computer
center's hours. Currently  the center is open 65 hours  per week:from 9
a.m. to 9 p.m. on  weekdays, and from noon to 5 p.m.  Saturdays. The center
houses terminalsfor the VAX 2 and RJE  mainframe computers and about  30
microcomputers (micros).  The problem isn'twith the VAX  2 and RJE
terminals, Hayes said,  but with the micros.  Doug Wharton, Arntzen
Hallmicrolab aide, said that from the  middle of the quarter they start a 
reservation system so people can  gettime on the micros. But during  the
last three or four weeks of the  quarter people are waiting forreservations
 or a chance to use the'  first free computer available.  The Saturday
before the end of  lastquarter people were standing  in line from 6:30 a.m.
until 8 a.m.  when the center opened up, Whartonsaid.  The IBM PC's have
the best  memory capacity on campus for  student use, Warton
explained,adding, Arntzen Hall has the most  IBM PC's on campus.  The
biggest problem is the computer  centerbudget and trying to  stay within
it. Hayes said the use of  the computers has increased, "but  dollars have
not."  Unlike the Bond Hall computer  center,which is open 24-hours-a-day, 
seven days a week, theArntzen  Hall center must have a consultant  or aide
constantly on duty to  check out memory discs.The Bond  Hall center houses
only VAX I and  RJE terminals, which work independently  of these discs.
Hayes has proposed adding 30  hours to the 650 hours for the  quarter. The
cost would be about  $125Hayes said. She said it would  help a little, but
"if it doesn't, we'll  see if we can do some more."  Hayessaid other
departments  know the center's needs.  "Everyone knows we need more  money
for staff," shesaid.  Hayes said she hopes different  departments will help
pick up the  slack by providing money.Wharton said business administration 
and computer science  classes use the Arntzen Hall center  themost.  He
doesn't see the problem getting  any better "unless they want to  expand
the budget, getmore computers,  or something."  Hayes said more computers
aren't  the answer, though, because thecenter doesn't have room for any 
more computers.  I  Democracy In Action. The  constitution forWestern's 
Faculty Senate says the group of  professors is "...empowered to  speak and
act for the faculty in  university affairs..." The central  document
governing the relations  of faculty with the university,according to the
university  Fact Book, is The Faculty  Handbook.  At its last meeting, the
SenateExecutive Council appointed a  "working group" to update portions  of
that handbook. The  group,chaired by Robert Thorn-dike,  will forward its
recommen-.  dations to the Executive Council,  which continuesto meet in 
sessions closed to the public and  press.  Speak Up. Professor Arthur 
Solomon of Western'sspeech  department would like the  assistance of any
student with a  stuttering difficulty to help with  hisseminar on
stuttering this  quarter. He can be contacted at  College Hall 251 or by
leaving a  message inthe communications  office.  • 
/Steeper Summer Savings Set.  Western students applying for  financialaid
next year will be  expected to save $1000 from  summer employment to be
applied  to college coststhe next  fall. The minimum summer savings  amount
formerly was $800.  Acting Financial Aid DirectorJohn Klacik said the
increase  was made to keep pace with rising  college costs and was the
first  suchincrease in three years.  •  More Aid Dollars.
Klacik also  noted that the Council for Post-secondaryEducation has 
requested that the Legislature  grant a 100 percent increase in  financial
aid for 1985-86. If granted, the money would be  spread over State Need
Grants,  State Work Study and aid programs  for part-time and graduate 
students.  •  Announcement of the Week.  From Fast, Jan.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 WESTERN FRONT.  Prayer, peace answer pro-life
march  By KarenJenkins  About 3,700 people, many carrying  signs with
slogans such as  "Equal Rights for UnbornWomen" and "Save the Whales  and
the Fish, What About Our  Babies?" met in Olympia Monday  toprotest the
legalization of  abortion.  The demonstrators, including  about 20 from
Western, came from  allover the state. As they walked  from a parking lot,
past the Temple  of Justice and up the steps of  thecapitol, they were
subdued,  More than 3,000 March for Life deomonstrators gathered on  the
steps of theLegislative building in Olympia Friday afternoon  to protest
the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision tolegalize abortions.  some softly
singing "God Bless  ' America."  The rally is sponsored every year  byMarch
for Life to commemorate  the Supreme Court decision of  Jan. 22, 1973 that
legalized  abortion.After the marchers ascended the  steps, Pastor Bruce
Norquist, from  the People's Church stood on apodium facing the steps and 
opened the rally with a prayer that  God would "somehow stop the  holocaust
that rages around us."  Then pro-life legislators from  across the state
addressed the  crowd, encouragingthem not to  give up the fight against
abortion.  Rep. GlennDodds (R-Chehalis)  likened people who don'toppose 
abortion to those in Nazi Germany"  who said after the Holo-cause,  'I
didn't know.'"  Dodds ledthe crowd in shouting  "Yes!"  "So the people in
the halls (of the  capitol) will know we're here," he  said.Steve
Fuhrman(R-Kettle Falls)  told the crowd to "go home and  pray and teach and
educate people  about abortion."  One demonstrator from Western,  Brian
McHenry, said he was  there because "I really feelGod is  the creator of
all life and it's not  our choice to determine if someone  lives or not." 
Asked what hethought the rally  would accomplish he said he  believed "each
individual is going  to make an impact ohthe  legislator."  Another Western
student, Paula  Pliscke, said they are "hoping to  'open some people'seyes
to  reality."  Rep.. Linda Smith (R-Vancouver)  said such demonstrations 
"keep the issue verymuch  alive. We have to work at this  problem one chip
at a time. Next  . time, well make it."  At theclosing of the rally, Kathy 
'McEntee, president of the  Washington State March for Life,  told the
crowd,"We are a peaceful  people. We condemn the burning  of buildings. We
also condemn the  violence thatgoes on inside those  buildings."  "I beg of
you, if any of you know  anyone who is tempted to violence,please stop
them,"she added.  During the rally, a man with, a  sign that
read,"Reproductive  Rights, NotTerrorism," and a  woman with a sign that
bore a coat  hanger with a red line drawn across  it, stood in the middle
of the  crowd.  Some pro-life demonstrators  attempted to cover the signs
with  their own.  One ofthe speakers urged them  to leave the
counter-demonstrators  alone and invited them to  come to thepodium and
express   gt; their views.  They declined, but continued to 
'• hold up their signs.  After therally, an impromptu 
debate sprang up between the pro-life  and pro-choice demonstrators.  The
woman,Gretchen Junker,  said she came "because I felt that  there was a
statement to be made  that wasn't going to be made."  "Even if abortion
becomes illegal  it will still go on,"Junker said.  "I'm not
advocatingabortion,"  she continued, "but sometimes it is  the only
solution."  Christopher Kalish, 6, (above)  andGretchen Junker, (right) 
voice opinions in Olympia.  Photos by Janice Keller  Strictness of drunk
drivinglaws debated  By Shelley Nicholl  Whether or not drunk driving laws
are  strict enough was the mainquestion discussed  by a five-member panel
and the 15-  member audience at a meeting organized byJohn Hawkins of the
Program Commission,  last Thursday.  Representing Mothers Against Drunk 
Drivers,Supreme Court Judge Frank Marrow  said he believes taking away a
person's  car when he has beendriving while impaired  is the answer. Taking
away his license is not  enough, he said.  But Rob Jones,Whatcom County
public  defender, said the present laws are strict  enough.  "A DWI
(driving whileimpaired) conviction  can be catastrophic," he said. He
described  the consequences of a first offense: a  $400 fine, a mandatory
day in jail, driver's  license suspension for 90 days returned after  an
alcoholevaluation and probation for one  year. In addition, the driver must
pay high-risk  insurance.  But theaudience was not sympathetic.  One man
from the audience hushed the  crowd when he said his motherwas killed by  a
drunk driver in 1982 and the driver  received only a four-month sentence
for negligenthomicide.  Officer Green of the Bellingham Police  Dear
Western Front,  We, here at Western View, aretired of the rap that the
broadcast  industry has received from you print-media types. You sit around
andtwiddle your ink-stained thumbs and say that broadcast journalism isn't 
"true" journalism, but a second-rate form of dispensing information (you 
can look up the bigger words in a dictionary — provided
that youcan read).  It is in this spirit that we, broadcasters
extraordinaire, challenge you, the  newsprint sniffinghacks, to a
basketball game to determine just who is  superior. Please respond to our
challenge in print.May we also point  out that while broadcast journalism
may be less detailed than print, it  Departmentadmitted not enough police
are  available to get all the drinking drivers off  the road.  "The problem
needs to be dealt with by  people on other ends," he said.  Jones suggested
better public transit  would alleviatepart of the drunk driving  problem.
If people had an economic, efficient  way to get home after they hadbeen 
drinking, they wouldn't use their cars, he  said.  Many people agreed with'
the woman  from theaudience who said people should  take a stand on a
personal level and tell  people who have been drinking not to drive.

Cartoons andCaricatures  Museum features Northwest funny artists  By Liisa
Hannus  GRANT BOETTCHER  KimStrohl, of Olympia, reads a comic article by
Linda Barry  (above). Melody Marcelja, a WWU senior, joinsher cousin,  Kim,
in looking at the exhibit (below).  GRANT BOETTCHER  PREVIEW Poor ending
hurtsfilm  By John Carmichael  "The Second Awakening of  Christa Klages" is
like a mystery  novel with thelast two chapters  missing. No matter how
good the  style may be, it is disappointing not  to find out themurderer's
identity.  In "The Second Awakening of  Christa Klages," it is the main 
character's identity thatis never  revealed.  The police are looking for 
Klages because she robbed a bank.  But at the same timeKlages is  looking
for herself. She is seeking  to resolve the conflict between her 
altruistic dedication toothers and  her own needs.  If the film is looked
at merely as  a character study, then its lack of  suspense is not a
problem. In fact,  the film works quite well as a character  study. Christa
Klages is a fas-  •cinating person.  It is because Klages
is made so  fascinating that it is disappointing  when the
personalresolution,  implied by the film's enigmatic  ending, is not
revealed to the  audience.  "The SecondAwakening of  Christa Klages" will
be shown at  6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. tonight in  Lecture Hall 4.Renowned
pianist here  for performance tonight  By Therese McRae  Leonard Pennario,
world-renownedpianist whose talent has  been rivaled by few will play

a tour of Bulgariaand Yugoslavia  in May, with concerts scheduled  in Sofia
and Zagreb, as well  as other major cities.In his spring  tour of 1984, he

TUESDAY, J A N U A R Y 22, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 5  Women's metal shines at
Chrysalis Galleryagain  By Liisa Hannus  Two professional artists and two 
Western students display their  artwork in the"Metals Invitational,"  which
opened Monday  night at Fairhaven's Chrysalis  Gallery.  The
students,Audrey Spurrier  and Dorothy Picht, were part of  "Women in
Metals," a show last  year also at theChrysalis Gallery.  Spurrier's work
at this exhibit  consists of jewelry, particularly  pins. A "Fortune
CookiePin,"  made of brass and acrylic, reads:  "You have a deep interest
in all  that is artistic."  Spurrier usescombinations of  silver, acrylic,
brass, copper,  nickel, bronze and paint in making  her creations. 
NancyHammer and Lynn  Rockwood, both professional  artists from Seattle,
were invited to  the show when twostudents from  last year's metals exhibit
were  unable to attend.  Hammer uses steel to developarchitectural pieces
such as "Initial  1 /Triangle 2" and "Segments of a  Slope." "Steel Fan" is
a thick,upright piece of black steel,  asymmetrically-shaped as an  opened
folding fan.  Rockwood uses bronze inher  sculptures "Earth Elements IV" 
and "Earth Elements V." She positions  a triangular seat on pencil-thin 
supports to form a "Rose  Chair." On the seat is a triangle of  small
stones.  Picht, a jeweler whennot studying  , shows some of her jewelry as 
well as "Triptich," three copper  wall-mount sculptures,and "Ran-cho 
Delux,"a mixed media sculpture  she calls "an environmental  piece."  G a l
l e r y D i r ec t o r K i t ty  Brougham said she believes a  metals show
is something that  interests a lot of peoplebecause it  gives them a chance
to see something  they normally wouldn't.  "I think that there are some
really innovative things being done  with metal," she said, "and this 
gives people an education as to  what is being done."  LIISA HANNUS.

who bought such products.  Recordcompanies have  tightened the choices of
what the  public can buy. So this gives us a  choice from Ratt to Prince

mega-sales category get lost inthe shuffle.  To complain about 1984 could 
become a long and endless process.  It would end up dull anddepressing. 
The music was unimaginative  and the lyrics were simplistic;  aimed
directly at us—thepassive  Pepsi generation.  Two
examples of this would be  Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At  Night," andCyndi
Lauper's "She  Bop." The latter being a blatant  bastardization of Gene

6 WESTERNFRONJ TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 Fea  Peace Corps job tough but
rewarding  By LoriMayfield  Sheila McCarten and David  Bracilano, both
Western graduates,  have devoted more than twoyears of their lives to poor
working  conditions, very little pay and few  fringe benefits.  As Peace
Corpsvolunteers, they  left their homes, families and  friends to go to a
foreign country  with none of the luxuriesof home.  In 1982, McCarten, 12
credits  short of her elementary education  degree, traveled to Hondurasto 
perform teacher training.  Honduras is the second poorest  country in the
Western Hemisphere.  Ithas a 50 percent literacy  rate. Three-fifths of its
population  are subsistence farmers, farmers  who cangrow only enough to
feed  their families.  McCarten said one of the hardest  things to deal
with was thedrastic  reduction in the standard of living  as compared to
the United  States.  "There's malnutritioneverywhere.  There's no cars, no
television,  no running water and very  little electricity. It was
achallenge  not having those luxuries," she.  explained.  "But I wanted to
have that experience.  If theycould do it every  day, why couldn't I,"
McCarten  added.  Life in Honduras was simple  and entertainmentwas scarce.
A  major pastime was talking with  neighbors.  "I had to rely on myself for
 entertainment. Iread a lot and  wrote letters. We did have one  movie
theater in town. I really  missed having a phone tocall up a  friend and
say,'let's go out somewhere',"  she said.  '7/ they don't like  you, you're
in bigtrouble because  you're the only foreigner  on the  island."  Some of
her spare time was  spent withchildren in her neighborhood.  Most of them
were 2-to-  10-years-old and couldn't go to  school. WhenMcCarten came 
home from work, all the kids  would gather at her house. She  taught them
colors andnumbers  with crayons, puzzles and games.  "You see, not everyone
could go  to school there. The kidshad a few  chores to do, but basically
had the  whole day to themselves. One of  the hardest things to getused to 
was knowing those kids would  never have the opportunities children  get in
America. Their lives will  change very little," she explained.  McCarten
said the experience  taught her to be more sensitiveand  ANDY PERDUE  Peace
Corps volunteer David Bracilano said he thought he was  in paradise once he
learned the language of the island.  Although extensive training sessions 
are required before the Peace  Corps sends a person out in the  field, no
training can prepare  someone for everything they'll  encounter,she said. 
McCarten said everyone experiences  culture shock.  "At first all the
villagers stared at  meas though I was a tourist. I  looked different, I
had lighter hair  and skin. But as time went by, I  blendedin," she said. 
riecause of the illiteracy rate,  "You could always tell a Gringo  when she
walked down thestreet  carrying a book," McCarter  added.  open to
different cultures. She  became comfortable living inHonduras.  "It was
hard to leave, but I knew  it was the right time to go. My job  was
completed. It was themost  rewarding experience 111 ever  have. Day to day
living was a challenge,  " she said.  She returned to Western to  complete
her degree.  David Bracilano had an even  bigger challenge in his
assignment.He worked on a small island in  Micronesia. He had a bachelor's 
degree in liberal studies, which  didn'tprovide a skill he could  share, so
the Peace Corps trained  him in agriculture.  His assignment took him to
one  of the Marshall Islands, which  boasts a coastline of just over one 
mile. Eighty people inhabit theisland. They speak a language  called
Marshallese. Only 36,000  people in the world speakMarshallese,  and,
unfortunately for Bracilano,  not one of them was in the  Peace Corps, he
said."The first six months I was there,  1 was walking around literally in 
tears. It took me six to nine months  to learn the language and get into 
the flow of gossip. I was the only  person there that could speakEnglish 
and couldn't speak Marshallese.  It got pretty lonely," Bracilano 
explained.  "Once Ilearned the language 1  thought 1 was in paradise," he 
added.  Bracilano's job was to teach th  islanderssmall-scale farming. 
They relied on fish and breadfruit,  a seasonal fruit found on the  island,
as theirstaple foods. During  the off-season for the fruit, the  islanders
imported rice from passing  boats, hesaid.  He taught them how to grow 
vegetables such as potatos, pumpkins  and yams to supplementtheir  diets
and rid them of their dependence  on rice.  The islanders didn't take to
the  new ideas verywell, Bracilano  said. They liked the rice and were 
leery of the new produce. He said  he didn't know many ways of preparing 
pumpkins, yams or potatos  so it took a while before the islanders  would
eatthem.  Asked if he tried preparing  french fries, he replied, "1 wish I 
would have thought of that. I guess  Ineeded some training in home 
economics."  "You know what was really,  funny was I grew popcornbecause  I
couldn't get regular corn to grow.  When I made it for them, they  thought
it was magic,"Bracilano  said.  In addition to teaching farming 
techniques, Bracilano helped the  women on the islandform a handicraft 
co-op. He made contacts with  markets on other islands to sell the  goods
andarranged the exportation  of them. He taught them how  to use ledgers
and inventory sheets  and how to manage a small  business.  He also helped
the islanders  write a constitution. While  Micronesia is still
atrusteeship, the  Marshall Islands declared their  independence in 1981.
Bracilano  acted as a mediarybetween the rest  of the islands and the one
he lived  on. They all became municipal  governments actingin conjunction 
with each other. He organized four  conventions to discuss the constitution
 and hetranslated the work  from formal English to  Marshallese.  Bracilano
said he saw many  changes on thelittle island in the  three years he was
there. When he  first arrived in 1979, it looked as;  though WorldWar II
just had  ended. Approximately450 bombs,  some weighing 1,000 pounds, were 
scatteredeverywhere. Nine Japanese  Zeros (war planes) were  crashed there.
 "Shortly after I was there, anordinance specialist crewcameand  de-bombed
the island. They  scraped all the soil for bombs.  They putall of the bombs
in a big  pile and blew them off," he said.  An old Japanese runway was 
restored whichallowed a plane to  deliver mail and supplies every  week.
Before the restoration, supplies  and mail were delivered by  boat about
every four months,  Bracilano said.  Life on the island was slow-paced, 
peopleentertained themselves  by fishing and telling stories.  The hardest
thing for Bracilano to  get used towas the isolation. He  relied on the
support of the  community.  "If they don't like you, you're in  big
troublebecause you're the only  foreigner on the island," he  explained. 
Bracilano spent most of his  spare timeworking on his master's  thesis in
anthropology.  Bracilano said he experienced  more of a culture shockwhen
he  returned to the United States.  "I was home two days and my  girlfriend
at that time was having a  birthday. Her parents took us to  the Space
Needle for dinner and I  ordered an appetizer of smokedsalmon. I was
shocked when I got  this plate filled with a-half-a-head  of lettuce and a
few strips ofsalmon.  I couldn't believe the waste. I  struggled for years
to even get lettuce  to grow and here 1payed $7.50  to throw half-a-head
away," he  explained, shaking his head.  The Peace Corps hascontinuous 
recruitment. For information contact  John Rhinehardt in Old Main  280.

j res TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 7  — L U I
 'Slapping it together'  Viking VII carracing  against time to Detroit  By
Andy Perdue  ANDY PERDUE  Michael Seal, Vehicle ResearchInstitute director,
welds part of  the new Viking VII car, scheduled to represent the U.S. at
the  Society ofAutomotive Engineer's International Congress and  Exposition
in Detroit in mid-February.  Students andfaculty members  at Western's
Vehicle Research  Institute are culminating several  years of work at
afeverish rate to  complete the Viking VII research  car.  The car will
appear at the  Society of AutomotiveEngineers'  International Congress and
Exposition  Feb. 15 in Detroit, Mich.  "It (the car) must be doneby the 
middle of February," said Michael  Seal, VRI director. The project  began
several years ago, Sealsaid,  but several other VRI projects  slowed
construction. Now, Seal  said, they are able to concentrateall their
efforts on the car.  John Kutz, a senior who has  been working on the car
for about  two years,said, "We're pretty  much just trying to slap it
together  and make it look beautiful."  He said the car isbeing shown at 
the exhibition in Detroit mainly  for publicity. Chrysler has some 
research projects theVRI would  like to get, Kutz said, and the lab  wants
to show Chrysler what it can  do.  Jeff Vickers, VRIresearch associate, 
said the exposition will display  prototype vehicles, and the  Viking VII
will be the only U n manufactured  car there.  The car features a
Subaru-manufactured  engine that the VRI  partlydesigned last year. Vickers
 said Subaru was_yery happy with  the work done on the engine and  was glad
it will be in the exhibition.  Viking VII is a high-performance  sports car
that weighs less  than 1,000pounds. Vickers said  most sports cars weigh
between  2,500 and 3,000 pounds. It will get  60 to 70miles-per-gallon on 
unleaded gas.  'We're pretty much  just trying to slap it  together and
make  it lookbeautiful.'  The $400 windshield on'the "VII  is the same as
that used on the car  in the television show"Hardcastle  and McCormick." 
The cost of the windshield, as  well as the financing of most of the  rest
ofthe car and transporting it  to Detroit, is being paid for by  Alcoa
Aluminum.  By Stanley Holmes  WhenPhil Ershler began climbing  in high
school he had no idea  that one day he would make a living  in the
mountains and be one of  a few persons to stand on the  summit of Mount
Everest.  Ershler is aprofessional mountain  guide for Rainier
Mountaineering.  He leads climbs year-round  to Mexico,South America,
Alaska  and Mount Rainier.  In 1982 Ershler was a member of  Lou
Whittaker's China/Everest  expedition that failed to reach the  summit. On
that attempt, Ershler's  good friend, and the onlyfemale  member of the
team, Marty Hoey,  died when she fell at 26,000 feet.  A year later
Ershlerattempted  Everest again, this time as a  member of the Seven
Summits  Expedition.  Although he didn'treach the  summit, other members of
that  team did. So when Whittaker  asked him if he would like to goagain in
1984, he had no problem  saying yes. When he returned in  November, he. was
the only teammember to stand on the summit of  Mount Everest.  After the
usual amount of  storms, doubts andsickness that  plague an expedition as
it moves  up the mountain, Ershler and his  partner, JohnRoskelley, left
the  high camp (the highest point on the  mountain on which a tent is 
pitched) for what they hoped  would culminate in the summit.  At 28,000
feet, Roskelley, who  has an ethical objection againsttaking oxygen
artificially, turned  back, Ershler said. They were  climbing the north
face of the  mountain,which is much colder,  and could not be climbed
without  bottled oxygen.  Ershler said the fall season inthe  Himalayas
also is much colder  than the spring. Roskelley was  worried about
frostbite andhypothermia,  he said. At that point,  Ershler said he had no
difficulties  deciding to solo the remaining1,100 feet.  "I was so totally
consumed with  the mechanics of climbing, making  sure I picked the
rightroute so I  could get back, and that I had good  climbing technique,"
he said. "The  fact I was aloneheightened my  concentration. I knew I
couldn't  screw up."  He reached the summit at 3:45 in  theafternoon and
spent exactly 15  minutes on top.  As he stood alone on the highest  ooint
on earth, he took a few pic-ures  and remembered Hoey and  Chris
Kerrebrock, another climbing  partner killed on Mt.McKin-ley  while
training for Everest.  He said he did not feel euphoric  on the summit. The
mountainVickers said a research car such  as the Viking VII usually costs 
about $250,000, but this project  will run only about $15,000. The  main
reason for the low cost,  Vickers said, is students do most of  the
work,drastically reducing  labor costs.  The car will be outfitted with 
Goodyear tires, which have new  specialrubber compounds that  help them
stick to the road better.  Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries,  makers
ofDitzeler Paint, is providing  all of the paint. PPG Industries  sponsors
all of the Indy-circuit  cars.  TheVRI's research Viking cars  have been
entering contests since  the early 1970s, winning most of  them,but Vickers
says those contests  have become scarce. He  attributed that to the fact
that the  energyscare, which brought about  much of the research, is over.
The*  kind of research the VRI engages  in hastaken a backseat to military 
research.  Seal said, "Right now, government  is not sponsoring
muchresearch unless it's got a military  application. The industry seems to
 be following the lead of thegovernment."  s Everest  demanded too much
concentration.  In order to survive the descent,  heneeded all the physical
and  mental strength he could muster.  Once he reached high camp, the 
emotionof standing on the top of  the world became more  pronounced.  Now
that he's climbed Everest,  he said he hasn't stopped thinking  about
climbing other mountains in  the Himalayas.  "If anything, standing
onEverest  shows you how many things are  left to do—you
can see them all  from the summit," he said. Tomorrow he will be at Western
 showing slides of the successful  climb at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall

Carmen Dolfo and Lisa Terry had said they didn't  expect to be contributing
much tothe Vikings.  Of course, a little modesty never hurt anyone,  except
maybe Lewis-Clark State and CentralWashington last weekend as Western
defeated Lewis-  Clark 65-43 Friday night and shut down Central 79-58 
Saturday night.  Dolfo scored 14 points on each of the two nights  and
added six rebounds Fridaynight, while Terry  came up with four assists in
her first appearance. She  scored eight points and fiveassists Saturday. 
"They (Dolfo and Terry) may think they're going to  sit there," Viking
Coach LyndaGoodrich said, "but  they won't sit there long."  "Lisa and
Carmen did real well," she added, "just  like they were with us the whole
season."  Not that the veterans weren't doing anything. Forward

nine rebounds each  night.Center Anne Coopertied hercareer mark of 15

revenge on Central for a 61-52 upset in Ellens-burg  Jan. 5. In that game,
Westernwas outrebounded  boards  49-33 Saturday.  Central's try for a third
victory against Western in  31contests was determined, but after the
Vikings fell  behind 15-12 in the opening minutes, they sprang outto a
30-21 lead before settling for a 34-27 half-time  surplus.  The Wildcats
could come no closer than fivein the  second half, and the Vikings scored
12 straight points  to take a 79-54 lead with just over a minuteleft. 
Friday night, senior guard Lori deKubber, Western's  leading scorer, was
shut out for only thesecond  time in her long career. Her teammates, though
picked  up the slack for a Viking victory overLewis-Clark  State.  Western
dropped behind early, 19-16, but held the  Warriors scoreless in the
final7:08 of the first half for  a 26-19 lead. The Idaho visitors pulled to
within 38-35,  but Western bombed theWarriors 27-8 down the  stretch in the
last 11:53 as Dolfo scored nine of her 14  points.  The weekendwins raise

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 9  —-FT1 * Men
take charity, drop Central in OT  ByTom Pearce  ANDY PERDUE  Central's Ron
vanderSchaaf (42) and Western's Shane Nickel  (44) weregoing at it
hammer-and-tongs all night Saturday.  Here, they battle for rebound in the
contest won by theVikings,  .62-57. —  It's been a tough
season for  Western's men's basketball team,  but Saturday night it made up
for  all the frustration, tripping up  Central, 62-57, in overtime at 
Carver Gym.  The Vikings wonthe game at the  charity stripe, hitting 26 of
31 free  throws, including nine of 12 in  overtime, while sending the
Wildcats  to the line only once all night,  where Darrell Tanner hit one of
 two.  "We had to get 'em,"said guard  John DeFranco, who hit three of 
five freebies in the overtime,  including one that gave Vikingsthe  lead
for good at 56-55 with 1:02 to  play.  "We just decided that we weren t 
going to foul them," hesaid. "We  packed it in on defense, and we  weren't
going to give them the easy  shots inside. We toldourselves that  if they
were going to beat us, they'd  have to do it from the inside."  Shane
Nickel, thebiggest Viking  at6-foot-7, was the one who had to  contend with
a Central frontline  that included 6-8center Ron vanderSchaaf  and 6-7
forwards  Tanner, who transferred in from  Washington, and RodnieTaylor, a 
transfer from the University of  Oregon.  "They got in there and forced it 
up and expected it to go in," Nickel  said. "It was good. They are an 
awesome team. We played well  and took it to them."Western led for the
first 14 minutes  of the game, before Gordon  Dixon fired in an 18-footer
to giveCentral its first lead of the night at  24-22 with 5:56 remaining in

The Wildcats expanded that  margin to 32-25 at the break,then  put on an
8-2 burst to take a 40-27  lead with 16:50 to play. It looked as  I though
the rout was on.Someone forgot to tell the Vikings,  though.  The turning
point of the game  came with 10:41 remainingwhen  Central committed its
seventh foul  of the half, sending Western into  one-and-one. The Vikings
hit17 of  20 free throws after that point.  The Vikings clawed their way 
back into the game, and a pair of  TimDickerson free throws cut the  margin
to 45-41 with 10:15  remaining.  Western couldn't come any  closer,though,
until Larry Tuell  hit both ends of a one-and-one  with 4:11 to play,
cutting the margin  to 49-47.DeFranco finally pulled the Vikings  even at
49-49, with (what  else?) a pair of charity tosses with  1:51to play.  Both
teams had opportunities to  win, as the Wildcats turned the ball  overtwice
in the final twominutes,  and the Vikings turned it over on a  traveling
call. But they got the ball  back, only to have TimNicholas'  19-footer hit
the backside of the  rim and bounce away at the  buzzer.  Nicholas' shot
came from the  same spot where Todd Bailey's  jumper gunned down the
Wildcats  last season, and DeFranco andCoach Bill Westphal remembered.  "It
was an instant replay,"  DeFranco said. "I figured it was all  over."MIIMMH

incredible," he  said.  Westphal said the Vikings  planned to get Central
in foul  trouble.  "Our second-half philosophy was to take the ball to the
hole, and  draw fouls, not to live or die by the  jumper," he said. "When

10 WESTERNFRONT  FRONTLINE  Opinion TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985  Base Ross'
pay  onperformance  Western's Board of Trustees should be very thankful for
a  nosey Washington StateUniversity student reporter.  Last month that
reporter, Michael Wickline, then-managing  editor of the DailyEvergreen,
took an upside-down glance at a  memo on a secretary's desk and learned
that WSU's Boardof  Regents planned to grant retiring university president
Glenn  Terrell a 19 percent pay increase.Fortunately, Wickline's ensuing
story touched off a statewide  chain reaction of protest about theincrease,
which would  have made Terrell Washington's highest-paid public official. 
Last week the WSURegents bowed to public pressure, and  reduced Terrell's
pay boost to 6.7 percent, the same increasethat state faculty members are
scheduled to receive.  Those regents had to be forced to limit Terrell's
payraise.  One would hope Western's Board of Trustees will take advantage 
of the WSU hoopla and take itupon themselves to keep  their senses when
they discuss a raise for President G. Robert  Ross nextmonth.  Ross sits at
the low end of the university-honcho totem pole  with his current
salary—apaltry$74,200 peryear. A 6.7 percent  raise for
the president seems fair, especially since Western's  !faculty will receive
the same.  But why stop there? Almost half of that 6.7 percent granted  to
Western'sfaculty is doled-out to those professors deemed  "meritorious"for
excellence in teaching. As a result, amajority  of faculty members are left
with a 1.2 percent pay raise, while  others may receive up to 20percent. 
And since university presidents must be meritorious to be in  the position
they're in, surely Rosswouldn't mind undergoing a  merit evaluation like
other state-salaried educational professionals  oncampus.  It would be the
only meritorious thing to do.  Higher fee needed  for better service  On
Jan. 23Western students will be asked for their reaction to  a possible
increase next year in the $6 HealthServices fee.  Options include leaving
the fee at $6, or increasing it to $8, $9 oi  $10 a quarter.  If the fee is
not increased, cuts in Health Services offerings  inevitably will occur.
Health Services would no longer beable  to afford its contract with St.
Luke's emergency room. Also  gone would be two of Health Services'fiye
part-time nurses.  ' An increase in the Health Services fee. definitely is
needed,  but a $2 increase isn't enough and a $4 increase is too drastic
for  what will be gained.  An $8 fee is expected to raise about$214,000,
with an additional  $9,000 coming from service fees and the Whatcom Medical
 Bureau.This would be $6,000 short of the revenue necessary to hire a  new
director to replace Evelyn Schuler whois retiring. The new  director would
be qualified to write medical prescriptions.  A $10 fee would allow
forhiring the new director and an  assistant director, purchasing a
computer and offering programs  such as biofeedback and "wellness."  By
adopting a $9 increase, almost $250,000 would be raised  allowingenough
money to hire a new director and have almost  $20,000 in reserve to allow
for inflation and eitherpurchase a  computer or sponsor some more programs,
whichever would  be most useful.  In any case,students should voice their
opinions at the open  hearing tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Viking Union

of her  mink coat and jewels for the  occasion.  Forget also that I hadto

dancing, then begBooth Gardner's office for tickets to  the
event—I was going to the ball.!  Not only was the
inauguralcelebration honoring a  new governor whom I respect and admire,
but the gala  event had historicalsignificance as well. For the first  time
in state history, the Legislative Building, with its  majestic dome,was the
site of the ball.  From the House and Senate floors to the third floor  of
the rotunda, the 4,000guests filled the grandiose  building. The elected
official's offices were open as  well as the StateReception room, the
governor's conference  room and even the marble-floored cafeteria,  for all
to tour.Reino Moiso played for dancing in an  Balancing toys between men

because the  biggest reasonfor attending is to watch everyone else. 
Clothing must be appropriate and everything must  match.  Themen have it
much easier than women. They  throw on a simple tuxedo and away they go.
Women,however, must worry about everything they wear.  When 1 finished

underwear  matched my date's tie and cummerbund.But still 1 worried . . .
until we arrived and the first  inaugural guest 1 saw was a large woman in
a dumpyblue dress and clunky black shoes. Assured that  someone looked
worse than I did, we floated into theball.  For every Glamour "Do" at the
ball, there was a  Glamour "Don't," including one satin-clad lady

yet, the son of a well-known statepolitician chose casual brown shoes to

to be at the state capitol with such a  variety of power and prestige, as
well as regular people  likemyself, and have the opportunity to offer a

simple war spread out on the living  room floor.  Theforces of Cobra, led
by Zartan, advance  from the jungle, creeping  stealthily over the marshy 
ground. Alone 'copter  appears—it's a Dragonfly 
JF6784026 with a red, white  and blue insignia—Wild 
Bill, acrackerjack G.I. Joe,  fires a missile.  In the mind of the boy 
directing the war, a huge,  gaping hole opens up. And  Zartan and the Cobra
forces  are enveloped in swirling, noxious smoke.  1 asked the
12-year-oldcommander if he'd consider  "nuking" the bad guys. He looked at
me indignantly,  "My G.I. Joes wouldnever drop a nuclear bomb.  They're not
that stupid."  "Besides," he continued, "these are toys. The realthing can
stuff it up their butts!" he laughed, turning  to go back to "the front."
Then he said soberly, "Thereal thing scares me to death."  Nathan wrote to
Reagan two months ago. "Dear  Mr. Reagan: I think youshould stop building
up.  nuclear arms. I want to live to be old . . . " The letter  was sent
last week.  Lastnight, Nathan's mother wandered into a mine  field. Flip
Breskin is a folk singer who was once run  downby a truck during a peace
march.  She surveyed the evening's wreckage and said  laconically,
"Well,Nathan, maybe we could get out  some sterno and show you how to
napalm people."  He said with morethan a hint of fear in his voice, "I 
don't wanna find out."  Like most humans, Nathan is a study inparadoxes. 
He showed me a plastic pellet about the size of a baby  tooth. "This is the
only bomb I have.It's a flash-fire  bomb, I
believe—blinds the pilot."  He reminded me of something
Truman said about  thebomb that hit Hiroshima. "That bomb had more  power
than 20,00 tons of TNT," Truman announcedproudly over the airwaves on Aug.
7, 1945.  "It had more than 2000 times the power of the  British GrandSlam,
which is the largest bomb ever  used in the history of warfare."  Maybe the
only difference betweenmen and boys is  the size of their toys.  I wonder
if Reagan floats a U.S. Navy in his bath-'  tub. . . or plays with space
missiles for fun. He doesn't  seem to know—anymore than
Nathan—the true  nature of histoys.  At the close of the
presidential debates, Reagan  talked about driving along the Pacific Coast,
being struck by its splendor and wondering about the people  who would
drive that road years later.  "Theywould know," he said, "whether we used 
nuclear weapons or not."  Ronnie, if your G.I. Joes drop anuclear bomb on 
the Cobra forces and they retaliate with even a fraction  of their arsenal,
there won't beanyone around to  know if there was a coast at all.  There
won't be any beaches, ocean waves,

 hands of a boy.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 11  S  LETTERS  Liberals uneven  in
condemnationWestern Front,  The liberal establishment's sudden  rush to
condemn South  Africa's apartheid policyand divest  our university of
investments  with banks dealing with South  Africa causes me to
feelsomewhat  ambivalent.  On one hand, I applaud the  rousing of an
apathetic public to  action against oneof the more brutal  examples of
oppression in this  century. One the other, I deplore  the lack
ofcommitment, energy  and devotion to the rights of those  people suffering
from oppression  undercommunist rule.  It seems to me that a nation must 
be traditionally aligned with the  West in order toqualify for vilification
 by the liberal establishment,  while excesses by communist or  Third
Worldcountries go unnoticed  and/or unchallenged. There  is a double
standard here, and I  think somethingneeds to be done  abut it.  I wish
Yvonne Ward and her  friends would champion the cause  of brutallyoppressed
Soviet Jews  and Christians as diligently as they  do that of black South
Africans, it  would bemore even handed if Ms.  Ward introduced an AS
resolution  directing the university to withdraw  itsfunds from banks
dealing  with the Soviet Union, as a gesture  of solidarity with Soviet
Jews andChristians imprisoned in the  Gulag.  The brutal mistreatment of
these  two groups is every bit as deserving  of attention as the South
Africans.  Would the AS act as energetically  on their behalf? I doubt it.
SovietJews and Christians aren't the rage  nowadays. They aren't "in." 
They're not getting the press. And  worstof all, they're being  oppressed
by a non-western coun-  • try. And people oppressed by
non-westerrfcountries  generally tend to  be ignored. Now, if a group is 
being oppressed by a nationtraditionally  aligning itself with the  West,
well that's a horse of a different  color. For that group all the  sorts of
things can be done.  By all means, withdraw our  funds from institutions
dealing  with SouthAfrica. But withdraw  them from institutions dealing 
with the Soviet Union, too.  -Remember the blackSouth Africans  and fight
for their rights. But  remember Soviet Jews and Christians  and fight for
theirrights, too.  The time has come for the AS to  prove it champions the
rights of all  oppressed peoples, notjust those  residing in pro-western
countries.  Come on, Yvonne. How about  some equal time andconsideration? 
Eric Leibman  In Defense of  Ward's Actions  Western Front,  I am sure that
Yvonne Wardis  more .than capable of defending  herself, yet as a reader
and an  interested observer of this conflict,  Itook offense to the level
of unreasoning  persecution displayed by  Mark Watson in his letter of Jan.
 18. Mr. Watson begins his attacking  and trivializing Yvonne Ward's 
concerns over pornography and  SouthAfrica; as if merely having  an opinion
is bad. If apathy is such  an overriding concern to Mr.  Watson,perhaps he
should not be  commenting.  Second, Mr. Watson criticizes  the move to
boycott IBM sayingthat it would have been ineffective.  Certainly, toppling
IBM was not.  the goal of any AS board member.The question was whether or
not  we should be helping IBM by purchasing  from them. This is at thevery
least a legitimate question.  With another questionable display  of
argument, Mark Watsonwonders what Ms. Ward was  doing reading Penthouse
anyway.  Surely an AS officer has a right,  indeedas responsibility to
react to  what is being sold by this university.  This is called university
self-government  and it is neither  impious nor paternalistic.  Finally, as
if to proclaim that  even blatant sexismis not dead,  Mr. Watson asks
whether the "surrogate  parent" in Yvonne Ward  would wish to cook forhim.
She  might, but considering the tone of  his letter, I don't think that
poison  would be completely out of the  question.  Ken Bahm  Board member 
disputes opinion  Western Front,  In your editorial of Jan. 15,you  stated
that "the AS Board is making  resolutions to be followed by  the rest of

• ROSS, from p. JManagement in Olympia, also is  used by

$50,500 to  $71,000, a 40.6 percent increase.  Dalrymple was quick to
praiseRoss for his excellent job as president  of Western, but was just as 
quick to reiterate the board wouldact with expedience.  He said the
presidential salary  has been out-of-step with that at  other
stateinstitutions for several  years, but the board generally has  held
that the presidential increase  should bekept in line with those  received
by other Western  personnel.  "It's totally up to the board.  They look
atwhat others are getting  and what other people on  campus are getting
percentagewise,  and then,certainly, they look  at the performance of the
president  and his experience before reaching  a decision."WHERE   WHEN
