team vows to appeal By JEFF KEELING staff reporter
~l»B»aa^^ lt;a«s^^ Western administrators
delivered a message of woe to the men's rugby team lastmonth, but the
Warthogs plan to fight for their club sports status. After considering an
appeal broughtby Western's men's rugby club, Associated Students Adviser
Jack Smith chose to uphold Club SportsAdviser Marie Sather's Nov. 5
decision to suspend the team.- Smith, however, lightened the punishment.
Steve Biggs, team president, said he will appeal to higher university
officials and the American CivilLiberties Union. "Rugby funding comes out
of our money as students, from the student activities fund,and that's
one reason why it should be up to us as students to make these kind of
decisions," Biggssaid. Smith sent a memo to Biggs Nov. 19 stating that
the team is suspended through fall quarter,1988, and may apply for
reinstatement in winter, 1989. Biggs appealed Sather's decision
tosuspend the club through the 1988-89 school year. Biggs claimed article
five of the Club Sport Council'sconstitution states authority to suspend
teams rests with the council. As part of the appeal process,Smith
requested Sather call a meeting of the council and have members vote on
the issue. The councilmet Nov. 17 in a closed meeting and voted 7-5 in
favor of the suspension. The constitution states athree-fourths majority
is required to suspend a team, but Smith's memo stated that "a 7-5
majority is aclear indication to the administration that the above action
is necessary." Biggs said he plans toappeal Smith's decision to Saundra
Taylor, vice president for student affairs. He said he also plans
tocontact an area American Civil Liberties Union representative to find
out more about the validity of theteam's claim that proper procedure was
violated in the decision. He said unless it is specifically stated that

p.15 DLI hearsWestern appeal of asbestos violations fine By ANDREA
LIGHTBURNE staff reporter The StateDepartment of Labor and Industries
began hearing, Tuesday, Western's appeal of $3,700 in fines itreceived in
August for the handling of asbestos in Carver Gym. The DLI will continue
to heartestimony from representatives from the state department and trade
and custodial union and Westernofficials Dec. 17 before reaching a
decision. The first four violations were addressed at Tuesday's hearing
and the remainder will be discussed at the second. Western was cited for
19 violations of the state'sasbestos removal code for the handling of
asbestos during a floor tile removal and replacement project.Workers
sanded the existing tile with burnishing machines using 20 weight
sandpaper. The tilescontained asbestos and the sanding broke the
encapsulated asbestos allowing it to be released into theair. The state
department ordered the gym closed after it conducted tests which
disclosed high levels of asbestos. The gym was not closed immediately but
instead remained open until departmentinvestigator Robert Parker
threatened to close the gym with a court order. Western closed the gymand
a professional asbestos removal company came in and cleaned up the area.
Western officialsthought the procedure was safe and did not believe that
the sanding would release the asbestos into theair. Officials thought the
procedure of closing the gym was confusing. Three of the fines were
classified as "serious." Management did not provide proper respirators
for the workers on the project, failed toinform the custodians after the
work area was identified as hazardous and allowed them to continue their
regular cleanup without safety equipment. Bill Chervenock, campus union
representative, said the finaldecision for DLI fine is to be made by a
DLI hearing examiner. Chervenock, who attended the hearing,said several
violations may be supported by the examiner because Western officials
knew tilescontained asbestos before sanding.

2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Bank machine bids open soon
Continued fromCASH, p.1 the committee's suggestions, which Carlson said
is not likely, the recommendation will bereturned for revision. The
committee, chaired by Vice President for Student Affairs Saundra Taylor,
iscomprised of Wood, AS Activities Director Trent Wheatley, Viking Union
Director Jack Smith, Assistant Controller Ron Ballough and Carlson.
Originally, the recommendation was to be approved inNovember by the late
Vice President for Business Financial Affairs Donald Cole. The bank
machine was to begin operating by the end of January. Action on the bank
machine was delayed by Cole's death last month when a plane carrying him,
President G. Robert Ross and Vice President for University Ad-vancement
Jeanene DeLille crashed. The recommendation outlines the kinds of
services needed in anon-campus bank machine, how AMERICAN CANCER
SOCIETY® revenue from the machine -- if any- would be divided,
and what changes in the Plaza Cashier operations would be necessary
toaccommodate the bank machine, Carlson said. Although she would give no
details until therecommendation receives formal approval, Carlson said
revenues derived from each bank machinetransaction would be divided
between the general university fund and the Associated Students
non-profit scholarship fund. Included in the committee's considerations
are the potential ramifications of abank machine to the Plaza Cashier.
Because the bank machine will draw some customers away fromthe Plaza
Cashier, it will be necessary to shorten the number of hours the business
is open to thepublic, Carlson said. Although the installation of the
bank machine is expected to affect the flow ofmoney across the
university's cashier counter to an annual loss of between $10,000 and
$15,000,Carlson said she ex-f G 6 t Advertise } I Lucky %Z I ( ^ 6 7 6 -
3 1 6 1 J pects the bank machine alsowill operate at a deficit. "At a
cost of 10 cents per transaction, the ATM would have to be in operation
12 hours a day, with transactions every three minutes, in order to break
even," Carlson said. The cost ofbreaking even is about $14,000, the
estimated price of the purchase and upkeep of a bank machine, butthe
overall benefits and convenience of the service make it "a good idea,"
she said. The university,however, is hoping to secure a deal where a
bank would purchase and install a free-standing machine inthe Viking
Union lobby in return for a percentage of transaction revenues and the
additional patronagethe bank might receive from Western students.
Carlson said even though it is difficult for a single bankmachine to move
into the black, banking institutions consider the overall operation of
automatic tellers to be profitable. CAMPUSCOPS Two cars sustained damage

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 WESTERN FRONT 3 Sex info center name change
postponed By DAVIDCUILLIER news editor After an hour-long argument over
changing the Sex Information Center's name,the Associated Students Board
of Directors decided to postpone a decision until January.
SexInformation Center coordinator Bob Olsen left the Nov. 25 meeting
disgruntled. "It seemed like (thename change) was going fine, but now it
seems like it backfired. "I don't care what the name is now."The
disagreement between board members and t he c e n t e r ' s coordinators
prompted the board toset a public hearing for the second week in January.
Tanya Bradford, assistant coordinator of the SexInformation Center,
proposed the center's name be changed to Sexual Awareness Center.
Bradfordreceived unanimous approval for the change from the Human Resource
Advisory Council. HRACcomprises representatives from the eight AS offices
in the Viking Union. The Activities Council alsoapproved the name change
unanimously. Bradford said the new name would help disband the belief
thatthe center just helped people learn about sexual intercourse. "We do
more than talk about sex, buttalk about a different issues of sexuality,"
Bradford said. She said the center helps people cope withattitudes, dreams
and relationships. But some board members at the meeting didn't agree
with themotion to change the name to Sexual Awareness Center. "I think
it's important we pick the best title,"Trent Wheatley, board member said.
"I can't support this motion." Board member Jeff Chandler agreedwith
Wheatley. "I think it's incredibly important that it is explicit we
convey certain connotations to focuson dissemination of information,"
Chandler said. Chandler moved to amend the motion by substitutingthe name
Human Sexuality Information Center for Sexual Awareness Center. Bradford
didn't expect theboard's proposal. "I don't like you to make a name
change for us," Bradford told the board. "If you don'twant a change, say
so, but we aren't going to play games all year." "This isn't a game,"
Chandler said."We need student info (to make an informed decision)," he
said. "I don't think we have student info, I think you're the one playing
the game." "What do you require?" Bradford said. "Do you want
9,000students commenting on the name?" Wheatley said he didn't know the
best way to get studentcomment. "But I think there's a better way," he
said. The board voted on the amendment to change thename to Human
Sexuality Information Center. The amendment failed, 5-2, with Chandler
and Wheatleyvoting for the amendment. Bob Olsen, coordinator of the
center, said a better name for the center wouldbe Human Sexuality Center.
"To hell with 'awareness.' Excuse my French," Olsen said. "Who cares how
many adjectives you throw in. It's a center to talk about human
sexuality." Board members LisbethGordon and Elizabeth Lovett then
proposed another name for the center. "You need to provide as
muchinformation in the title and be less threatening," Gordon said. "Call
it the Sexual Awareness ResourceCenter." Lovett then moved to amend the
main motion to call the center the Sexual AwarenessResource Center. "It's
just these nine people to decide the office title?" Bradford said.
"Resource sounds like window dressing to me. If that is what it takes to
get on with life, fine. "There's a power struggle here and I don't want
my office the puppet of a power struggle," Bradford told the board. Board
membersdisagreed. "I don't see how there can be a power struggle,"
Wheatley said. "There are nine differentpeople on the board." Chris
Feiring, coordinator of the Men's Resource Center, said the board
shoulddiscuss the change with student input. "If this motion fails I
would support having another boardmeeting to discuss," Feiring said.
Chandler moved to table the matter until the second Wednesday inJanuary.
The board approved the motion to table the issue. Monday Bradford said
she would continue the process of the name change. KINKO'S HOURS COPY

4 (WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 AS to tell state of Western's
needs By JIMTHOMSEN staff reporter The Associated Students Board of
Directors will tell the state legislatureWestern needs equitable funding,
an enrollment lid increase and better programs to attract
minoritystudents in 1988. The board approved five recommendations at its
Nov. 11 meeting, which will bepassed on to the state legislature's special
supplementary budget session agenda in January, ASPresident Dan Wood said.
"(This action) does have an impact," Wood said. "It tells legislators
whatstudents want. All issues are addressed, but not all to our
satisfaction." The Legislative andCommunity Affairs Council, an advisory
body to the AS, began researching university needs in Octoberand came up
with nine position statements. The only item proposed for the legislative
agenda at theAS meeting that wasn't accepted was a $250,000 request to
begin construction of a new campusdaycare center. Board members said the
legislature is already committed and the request would onlybother the
legislators. Approved by the board were: a proposal allowing disabled
students to park free on campus; a request to increase the per-student
budget allocation for Western to a level comparable toother
state-supported universities and a proposed increase of minority students
through recruitmentand retention programs. Also sought from the state
were: an increase in the legislature-imposedstudent enrollment lid and a
change in the state definition of an "independent student" to the
federaldefinition, thereby relaxing the current standards of financial aid
eligibility. Wood said the AS will lobbyduring the special session.
"We're working on another Descend Olympia," he said, adding, last
year'spilgrimage to the state capitol was a success. "We're not likely to
get money out of them." Woodsaid. About 50 students wearing Western
sweatshirts distributed information packets to legislators, he said. "It
looked like hundreds of us were there," Wood said. "A mass of Western
students swarmingon the capitol." Despite the planned lobbying efforts,
Wood was not optimistic about the chances ofsqueezing the desired funds
from the legislature. Trustees delay decision on guns for University
PoliceA decision to arm University Police won't be brought to the Board
of Trustees until after January.Because of the Nov. 4 plane crash,
killing President G. Robert Ross and two vice presidents, theTrustees
have postponed the decision to arm the officers, said Lt. Chuck Page.
The Trustees coulddecide the matter at the next meeting, Page said. The
meeting would probably be toward the end ofJanuary or beginning of
February. Associated Students President Dan Wood said at Wednesday's AS
Board meeting the decision may be made later if students are called to
vote on the issue in a s p ec i al referendum. The students' vote would
be submitted to the trustees to assist in their decision-making.
University Police presented a nine-page report to the trustees at a Sept.
3 meeting requesting the police be armed with guns. Western's Public
Safety Assistants, known as greencoats, are notincluded in the proposal.
The campus force made a similar request in October 1980. The Board
ofTrustees denied the request. Trustees consider AIDS policy By ALANA
WARNER staff reporterStudents or teachers with AIDS won't be kept from
Western's campus according to a policy adoptedby the Board of Trustees
Thursday. Two related policies concerning AIDS and other
communicablediseases were presented to Western's acting president Al
Froderberg at the meeting at EverettCommunity College. After consulting
health associations, the Safety Committee, which prepared theAIDS policy,
found that because the AIDS virus cannot be contracted from casual
contact, victimssuffering from the disease should not be excluded from
campus employment and activities. The policy states that victims
infected with the deadly virus "do not represent a threat to the public
health of thecampus community." The Safety Committee's policy on
communicable diseases proposes thatWestern provide "accurate and
objective educational information" on communicable diseases, aswell as
clinical services and referrals. If Western's president approves these
policies at anundesignated future date, the responsibility of
implementing the policies will be assigned toWestern's vice presidents.
In other trustee business, a report on a proposed one dollar contribution
to the Student Loan Fund as part of students' total registration fee was
also read to the board. Afterreviewing the current status of the Student
Loan Fund, Vice President/Dean of Student Affairs SaundraTaylor and
Associated Students President Dan Wood discovered that the fund is
meeting its needsand does not require increased financing. The
proposition was dismissed. Also on the agenda was a $39,000 land
acquisition, which the board passed. The property, l o c a t e d at 25th
and Bill McDonald Parkway, will be financed by funds appropriated for
real estate purchase. The board approved theproposition that both the
men's and women's tennis clubs be given varsity status on a two-year
trialbasis. Funds for the teams will be extracted from the club sports
budget. ^JS^Uo^tmonJon^Buyaprinterwit^ Sft1115!

6 WESTERN FRONT OPINION FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 AS Board wastes time with
trivial mistrust The folks at the Sex Information Center got a crash
course last week in abuse of procedure andbureaucratic roundabout at the
hands of the Associated Students Board. The task seemed simpleenough. Sex
Information Center assistant coordinator Tanya Bradford wanted AS approval
to change thename from the Sex Information Center to the Sexual Awareness
Center. But instead she got anunexpected hour of bantering over sexual
semantics with the board, leaving her ready to pull her hairout. The
board was concerned the name might be "too threatening," or misleading in
some other way. Iteven went as far as to move to change the name to the
Human Sexuality Information Center. As if thiswasn't enough attention
given to this issue of questionable importance, the board made no decision
andinstead put off the decision until January. Understandably, Bradford
was not happy with the surprisepower struggle. "If you don't want a change,
say so, but we aren't going to play games all year," she said. Here. Here.
The board's concerns are well founded, but it is abusing its authority if
it considers itselfmore qualified to decide the most accurate name of the
center. The proposed name was good enough forthe Human Resources Advisory
Council and the Activities Council, which already OK'd it, and nobody
ismore qualified to decide the best name for the Sex Information Center
than the employees of the SexInformation Center. The name change should
be a minor issue receiving no more than a passingrecognition before moving
on to more important matters. The board has made a mistake in insisting
onmaking a major issue of it, when it should have trusted the judgment of
the center and approved itsrequest, saving both sides a lot of
frustration. Reagan, Don't pull out of agreement now Aweek
beforePresident Ronald Reagan's summit meeting with Soviet General
Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev, Reagan has accused the Soviets of
violating the 1972 Antibal-listic Missile Treaty — an
accusation the Sovietsdeny. The president made the accusation, involving
the moving of two old, inconsequential radars, beforeaccepting a Soviet
invitation to inspect the sites in question and against the wishes of the
StateDepartment. Reagan's insistence on prematurely making the accusation
about something so trivial maymean he plans to use it as an excuse to not
sign the treaty. The treaty, set to be signed next week inWashington,
D.C., would eliminate medium- and shorter-range missiles. "...Having come
(out) with it, wehave given additional ammunition to the critics who make
the charge that we should not sign and ratifythe treaty," an unnamed
administration official was quoted as saying in Vie New York Times. Using
the accusation as an excuse would not be a supris-ing move for this
president, who opposed SALT I and IIand violated SALT II with the
deployment of cruise missiles on B- 52 bombers one year ago. Buthopefully
it will be a move Reagan will not make. Reagan has yet to prove to the
world he's sincere in hiscall for peace. Signing the peace treaty will be a
step in that direction. w^mmm^um Editorials reflect themajority opinion

dweebsHo, Ho, Ho. Merry Christmas. It's time again for merry souls to
revert to the joyous traditional values of yesterdecade. And what better
place than the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to bring good oPAmerican
values to our homes, with the help of Isotoner gloves, McDonalds and
Coc-a-CoIa. Becauseyou, you're the one. Ah, remember those important
values we learned as children. I'm glad I knowwhat's important in life.
The Oakridge Boys reminded me of what's important as they glided down
acrowded New York street during the parade. "Oh baby, I want to love,
squeeze you," the group sang,while the outline of a red heart pulsated on
the television screen. "Me and you baby are going to makesweet love,
baby, in my peekup truck." Kind of makes you all warm and gooshy inside,
just likegrandma's fresh-baked cookies. Yummm. A tear of Yuletide joy
came to my eye as I saw a 65-footBetty Boop balloon bob between build-
DAVE CUILLIER staff reporter mss. Parade commentatorWillard Scott
couldn't have worded it better when he said, "She measures 34-24-36, but
that's in feet!Va-va-va boom! That's my kind of woman!" Gee, Willard,
you crack me up. I was touched later in the pa rade when the
Rags-to-Riches kids sung of how much fun it is to be in school. "I like
math andscience," sang one of the male characters. "I like writing, and
home ec! Hee, hee, hee!" sang one of the female characters while holding a
pie. Just like Mary Sue from high school, I thought. Ah, the good
oPdays. Barbie and the Rockers, lovely Pia Zadora and other well-known
pinnacles of purity alsoblessed our televisions. A high point of the
parade for me was when Captain America fried DoctorDoom with 10,000 volts
of electricity. It takes grand events like the Macy's Parade to keep our
greatAmer'c'n values strong. Sex. Riches. Power. Glitter. Give it all to
me. Forget reading, forget liberal arts,just give me a Porsche 924, a hot
looking babe for a wife and a job that hands me a six-digit salary.Hey,
babes, when I'm famous you'll see me in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade, between theCoke and McDonald's commercials. I'll be the one
riding the Spuds McKenzie float (made from twomillion Bud Light bottle
caps), straddled by two sultry pieces of womanhood while lip-syncing
DireStrait's "Money for Nothing." Thanks to television media fluff, me
and millions of other dudes willcontinue to hold onto those values dear
to our hearts. Heck yeah. We have a responsibility Civil rightsfight
mustn't end The 1960s were an awakening to a new social consciousness.
Black rights, women's rights, homosexual rights were all discovered. It
wasn't that the problems didn't exist before that time, but it was at
this time humankind became aware of the injustices. Waking up to a
clearlyintolerable reality caused a whole generation to revolt, to demand
true justice and true freedom. Sothe hippies said "Hell no, we won't go"
to a lot of things: the Vietnam War, segregation, enslaving ofwomen and
treating people as less than human. Society breathed a sigh of relief
and everything is OK ... right? Wrong! Everything is not OK. People are
dying in the streets, sleeping in cardboard boxes,SHARI WALTON staff
reporter freezing to death. One out of every three women will be
sexuallyassaulted in her lifetime. People with different sexual
preferences are "fag bashed" by self-righteousidiots believing they are
doing society a favor. These things don't happen monthly, or even daily.
Theyhappen by the hour and by the minute. Still some are saying nothing
is wrong, all the battles are won; people of color, women and sexual
minorities have achieved equality with the rest of us. The reality of
injustice still exists, but it has been discredited by our ignorance and
apathetic attitude. I knowyou've heard it before. I have too. "Why is
this generation so apathetic? They just don't care, theseyoung people
today." Sadly, it's true. We try not to think about social injustices.
It's easier to climb intoour car, travel to our heated apartments, cook
dinner, study and climb into our warm bed. Whathappened? Maybe it just
got so bad we all decided to give up, or maybe we decided it wasn't worth
it.We must not allow ourselves to be so ignorant as to believe a certain
amount of injustice is inevitable,or even desirable. We are the future. It
is time we own up to that responsibility.

to no more than 300 words. The Front will not accept hand-written letters
forpublication. Letters must includf the: Reilly hecklers shoot own foot
The Front, As a proponent of thepeace movement in North America and as
an advocate of human rights action by North Americans inCentral America, I
am embarrassed by the reactionaries within the movement. On Thursday
evening,one Col. Peter Reilly from the State Department's Office of
Public Diplomacy gave a 45-minute, pro-Contra pep rally. To be sure,
Colonel Reilly is a (moderately effective) professional propagandist who
is being paid by the Reagan administration to promote its peculiar brand
of democracy in CentralAmerica. His particular choice of quotes and
statistics is subject to interpretation by each individualcapable of
critical thought. Indeed, we are each entitled to our own opinions. But
what irked me morethan any official rhetoric was the outright
inconsiderate reactionism that took place during the talk bymembers of the
audience. To rebut Reilly's interpretation of the facts by reactionaries
with inter-ruptiveoutbursts does little more than erode the credibility of
the peace movement. There is always acontingent of people who have not
quite made, up their minds on an issue one way or the other,
andundoubtedly Reilly and his cohorts are pleased to see the peace
movement sending recruits to theright. Therefore, I think if the people
in the peace movement would only get wise to the reality of
publicrelations, instead of scaring people away with reactionism, their
efforts would surely wax moreeffective. Graham Shuley Thank you to
relatives, others The Front, We wish to express appreciationfor all the
support and friendship we have received from our f r i e n d s , r e l a

'6pih.t gt;ri;edHQ^: lt;W$^i^v;-;^^|^^ years I have watchedthese lazy
weeklings take advantage of these doors. I was so moved by your letter I
have acquired,through a very kind and sympathetic staff member, some
information about these doors. In a nutshell,the hydraulic opener and
installation of the whole apparatus costs $3,000 to $4,000 a piece.
Thehydraulic opener contains gears that wear with usage
— this is what is most expensive to repair. Ofcourse,
all repair costs eventually circle around to the students. Also, the
opening mechanism (thebox equipped with the red button) gets thrashed
around due to items other than fingers pushing it
—items such as notebooks, pencils and feet. These
doors serve a useful and noble purpose, and for that, I like them. But as
for you people who are just too damn lazy and can't even open the door by
yourself... Bnice Saijeant SFHL force feeds morality The Front, To
start with the record straight, I am employedby the Women's Center, I am
pro-choice and I have read the letters in defense of Student's for
HumanLife with anger and frustration. I recently staffed an information
table that provided literature concerning the "gag rules" the Reagan
administration is tying to amend to Title X. I was unfortunately located
nextto the Students for Human Life booth. In my three hours there, both
women staffing that booth tried toengage me in debate. I told both women
I was there to provide information and not to debate with them.They
ignored my request and proceeded to harass me and to question my
morality and my religiousbeliefs. One of the women told me she was a
psychology major (in the course of telling me howabortion wreaks mental
havoc on the women who have them). I did not discuss with her the
mentaldistress of having or being an unwanted child. But I wondered how
many guilt trips this morally pure woman would lay on her patients in the
course of her career. The president of this organization said in her
letter of Nov. 20 that contraceptives are "too diverse a subject" for
them to handle correctly, yet sheinserts that they want to educate the
campus on the enormous and diverse issues of abortion, suicide,infaticide
and euthanasia. From my many encounters with SFHL, I believe what they
actually want to dois impose their morality on anyone who will listen.
She went on to say "the organization takes nostand on abstinence,
pre-marital or marital sex," but the individuals that make up the
organization seewith one and the same eye. Ms. Hetherington is playing
with semantics. An organization is made up ofindividuals with like
ideas. I am for human life - I don't know many who aren't, with the
exception of theReagan administration — I am simply for
the best human life possible. I support what I believe in andonly expound
on my views when asked (or infuriated enough to defend them). I would
encourage anystudents interested in current birth control information
(which takes up surprisingly little space), tovisit the Sex Information
Center or the Women's Center. We are happy to help and have many
resources available. And we only give our opinions if you want them.
Laura Boyhton-Myers Front proves itsignorance again The Front, Thank you
for providing the perfect ending to Power and Sex week. I am alltoo
familiar with the Front to think that its staff members would be bright
enough to realize what theywere actually doing, so I'll spell it out for
you. Your editorial on the men's rugby issue epitomized theprimary reason
we even have to have power and sex awareness week on a university
campus:rampant IGNORANCE. The Front staff members, and much of this
campus community (with theexception of an occ a s i o n a l e n l i g h t
e n e d administrator), has failed to identify the entiremen's rugby team
as the power and sex issue it truly is. The men on the rugby team have
no concept ofwhat it might be like to encounter large male intruders in
their home. They are large males. But femaleshave an entirely different
perspective; we know what it is to be confronted by someone 6-foot,
190pounds when we stand maybe 5 feet 6 inches and weigh significantly
less. Intimidating. The womanfrom the residence halls who was pushed
down and generally abused by identified members of themen's rugby team
didn't press charges. While I don't agree with her decision, I can
empathize with herfear. She may have succeeded in identifying and
prosecuting one or two perpetrators of violence, butthat leaves at least
25 who will know her name as well as her place of residence, 25 who have
alreadyproven that they are not afraid to unlawfully enter and destroy
another person's home. The men's rugby team has a history of malicious
acts of destruction and abuse of alcohol. If only three of the
menidentified in the residence halls rampage were rugby team members,
then three is enough to convict the entire team. They knew they were on
proverbial thin ice. Who wants this campus to be represented by a bunch
of thugs? Obviously, the Front doesn't mind. But then, its ignorance is
already well established. No Respect Intended Pamela S. Helberg Wars are
useful, you homo commie The Front, Mr.Bokamper and Porter, Porter, I
didn't miss your points. It's just that in actual fact they are not
points atall, but only hopeful stabs in the dark generated by a childlike
rebellion from acceptance of the harshrealities of the world. You're so
convinced you can change the world, but don't have the perseverance
todeal with even a single person. It's pathetic, really, and I feel a
great compassion that your hopesmust inevitably come to naught.
Apparently you've found yourself unable to deliver the proofs that
Irequested of the efficacy of your dreams for world peace. I have no such
problem justifying my ownstance: The freedom you exercise when you pick
up your pen was born in war. The removal of the yokeof the Samuri from
the Japanese neck came from war. The termination of the Nazi death camps
camefrom war. Despite your contention that war has never solved anything,
history is rife with incidents thatprove it has, and repeatedly. We
aren't any smarter or wiser than all those good men throughout
thecenturies. Unhappily, it is not as simple as you seem to believe to
live in arcadian peace. If it were, thelast war would have been so far
distant in the past we wouldn't even have a word for it, so heartfelt
andeternal is mankind's wish for security and tranquility. Now, Porter,
I don't advocate war for frivolousreasons. I do say that defending
yourself is noble and righteous and that to do less is ignoble
andshameful. It is weak. Of course, try to be reasonable, go the extra
mile, but have the intelligence torealize it isn't always going to work.
We are substantially in agreement, you and I, but you have forgotten a
few critical factors that leave your equation fatally unbalanced. Our
hope for survival demands we beready to deal with the mean-spirited
tyrants who are all too often inflicted upon mankind. Bokamper, your
insistance upon the right to submit hazy, incoherent letters for
publication places the reponsibility forany misinterpretation of them
squarely upon your own narrow shoulders. Further, your motivation
forinserting your weird ravings about depraved sex into a discourse about
the merits of self defense andcivility eludes me. It's difficult to
determine whether your obsession with perversion stems from yourown
suppressed homosexual tendencies or some crypto-neo-fascist lunacy. Or
both. And if pointingout the glories of an enemy nation vis-a-vis your
own country isn't being an apologist, the compilers ofdictionaries are
going to have to revise their definition of the word. If you look like a
duck and quacklike a duck, then you are a Gorbachev groupie. Dennis K.
Ogden One last try to reform Kaplan TheFront, In his latest letter
(Nov. 17), Edward Kaplan has another go at proving his "point"
— which we"persist in missing" — that
fascism and socialism are alike. We are now somewhat far afield from
hisoriginal contention; his current argument seems to be that Mussolini
and Hitler were actuallysocialists at heart. Mr. Kaplan says we "concede
Mussolini was a socialist until just before he becameleader of the
Fascist Party, but insist he and the party's doctrine are antisocialist"
(our emphasis);indeed we do. According to Mussolini, "(the Fascist)
conception of life makes Fascism the completeopposite of that doctrine,
the base of so-called scientific and Marxian Socialism, the
materialistconception of history... And above all Fascism denies that
class-war can be the preponderant force in the transformation of society.
These two fundamental concepts of Socialism being thus refuted,nothing is
left of it... Fascism repudiates the conception of ' e c o n o m i c '
happiness ..."(International Conciliation. Jan., 1935, no. 306. Reprinted
in Knoles and Snyder, 1968). The mind reels.Mr. Kaplan next uses a quote
of a quote of a translation of Hitler as evidence to bolster his
claims.Note, however, that Hitler's "approval" of "former communists"
(our emphasis) excludes "the petitbourgeois (sic) Social Democrat and the
trade-union boss;" in other words, socialists. Need we alsomention the
seemingly endless ravings against Bolsheviks, marxists, communists, etc.,
one encounters in Hitler's writings and speeches? Mr. Kaplan's defamation
of "socialism" is an obvious appeal topopular prejudice. His
interchangeable use of terms (e.g., Bolshevist, corporatist, socialist,
leftist)renders them definitively useless, clouding issues and making
meaningful discussion nearly impossible. Of course socialism resembles
fascism in trivial ways, just as capitalist democracy resemblesfascism in
trivial ways. For Mr. Kaplan's thesis to have any force, he would have to
show thatsocialism is significantly more like fascism than other
competing political philosophies, and that thesimilarities between the
two are more significant than the differences. Perhaps Mr. Kaplan
shouldabandon hypotheses that rely substantially on trivia and analogy.
Timothy R. Machin StephenSondericker No local music? Sure there is The
Front, Who the heck is this Wayne Ellis guy to decide"there really
(isn't) much music" in Belling-ham? Forgive my indignation, but as a
local musician, I knowbetter. In bringing national acts to Belling-ham, I
can only be thankful that someone has taken theinitiative to fill a void
in the currently less-than- thriving local music scene, but to infer that
there is a lackof acceptable local talent is an easy way for a promoter
to take himself off the hook; Even thoughBuck's is the nicest beer barn
in the town, they have not provided an outlet for local bands to play
live on a regular basis and develop their performance skills. Thus, those
of us who can't stomach theSeattle cover bands they import have headed
two doors down to the Up Up where local music can beheard on a Friday or
Saturday night for a minimal cover charge. Brad Mahugh Article helped
raiseawareness The Front, I would like to thank you for Mark Watson's
article and the Frontline column

10 WESTERN FRONT SPORTS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Women take 1-1 mark into
weekend ByCRAIG DALY staff reporter Having split its first two games
this season, the women's basketball teamfaces one of its toughest
challenges at 5:15 tonight when the Vikings play the University of
Victoria atCarver Gym. After opening the season at home last Saturday
with a 66-61 win over California StateUniversity at Chico, Western lost
75- 63 in Burnaby, B.C. to Simon Fraser University on Wednesday in its
first NAIA District I game. We're going to make mistakes, but we'll be a
team to be reckoned with. -Lynda Goodrich Western fell behind early
against a fast-breaking Simon Fraser team, which jumpedout to a 18-4 lead.
The Clansmen built their lead as high as 15 points before Western began
to battle itsway back into the contest. Trailing 40-29 at the half, the
Vikings outscored Simon Fraser 20-10 toclose within one point, 50-49.
Freshman center Cim Hanson came off the bench to spark her teammates with
six of her nine points during the run. But Western never got any closer.
The Clansmen's SaraHaave hit a three-point shot for a 53-49 lead, and
Simon Fraser rebuilt its lead, putting the game out ofreach. Forward Lynn
Munday led Western with 16 points. Hanson had a team-high 10 rebounds,
andforward Anna Rabel chipped in eight points and eight rebounds. "It's
iusi a matter of our youth andinexperience," Western Coach Lynda Goodrich
said. "I was more pleased with what I saw coming outout of the Simon
Fraser game than what I saw in the Chico State game. It takes time to work
togetherand make good decisions." This year's lineup consists of three
sophomores and two juniors. Only twoplayers are back from last year's
starting lineup. In last Saturday's Chico State victory, Western wasable
to use the fast break to its advantage over the slower Wildcats. Western
never relinquished its leadafter going on top 25-24 with six minutes left
in the first half. The Vikings built leads as high as tenpoints, but each
time it appeared they would put the game out of reach, Chico State
battled back.Western never was assured of the vie- 05,elli4ta/icvm HONDA.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 WESTERN FRONT' 11 Western's women runners finish
fifth at nationalsBy P. RAY TOWNSEND staff reporter The women's cross
country team placed fifth at the NAIAnational championships -- the best
finish ever for a Western cross country team. The Western women
accomplished this by placing four out of its five women in the top 52.
The big surprise of the meetwas the running of Sarah Williams, who led the
women by finishing 12th. This was Williams' bestfinish of the season and
earned her Ail-American honors. Genevie Pfueller also earned
Ail-Americanhonors by placing 19th, the third time Pfueller has been
named an All-American. "It's an amazing feat,"Western Coach Kelvin
Halsell said. "It's a great accomplishment for Western." The lone runner
for the Viking men did not do as well. It's a great accomplishment for
Western. -head coach Kelven Halsell Neal Sherry fell in the first
quarter-mile of his race. When he tried to get up, he was kicked in the
headand back, so he stayed down until the herd of runners passed. When
Sherry got up, he was about250th and by running on and off the trail, he
was able to make it back up to 121st at the end of the race. The w o m e

club teams finish first, fourth By KATHY TUCKER staff reporter
Competing against 14 schools in gusty winds and heavy downpour, Western's
sailing club finished first in the regatta it hosted Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 at
Lakewood.Each school had number 1 and 2 teams. Western's number 1 team
came in first place, followed bySeattle University, second; the
University of Oregon, third; and Western's number 2 team fourth.
ErikHauge, sailing club representative, said it was the largest Northwest
turnout in about 10 years. Hesaid everyone sailed really well in "trying
conditions." Jeff Davis, Western sailing club coach, said "It was a wide
variety of (weather) conditions that called on everybody's total
experience." "The whole team really looked very good," he said. 'A lot
of our new people that haven't been racing in that large (of a)fleet did
very well." 'T he whole team really looked very good. ' -Jeff Davis He
said Western's sailing club works on total team performance, rather than
stressing the better individual sailors. The results of this are
beginning to show, he said. Western's number 1 team members sailing
Saturday were Varsity Asailor Tom Krabben-host with crew Shelly Drysdale
and Varsity B sailor Dave Lutz with crew LaurieO'Donnell. Number 1 team
members who sailed Sunday were Varsity A sailor Diane Whitefield with
crew Diane Pixley and Varsity B sailor Erik Hauge with crew Karee
Loghry. Sailors also raced solo on laser sail boats, but the results of
that have not yet been calculated. Western team members sailing on the
lasers were Dave Yurina, Erik Hauge, Brennan Linsley, Dave Lutz and Tom
Krabbenhost. The weekend event was titled the Oprah Memorial Regatta ~
after a team member's dead pet fish. Hauge said "It was a hell of a
party."

After tonight's Victoria contest, Western travels to Seattle on Saturday
to play Seattle PacificUniversity in a District I encounter. Victoria has
won five of the last seven Canadian NationalChampionships. Goodrich
described Victoria as a "well-balanced team that can run the ball."
It's thebiggest campus comeback since "Revenge Of The Nerds." Western's
football team, nearly cut lastspring in the wake of nine straight losing
seasons, dwindling student interest and increasing costs,has returned
just months later with a winning season and strong administrative
support. "I have afeeling we've finally convinced some people we're for
real," he said. The Associated Students Board ofDirectors had
recom-mended the program be eliminated last year because of the large
sum of moneyHansen said he needed to turn the team around. The board
members agreed with Hansen that thefootball team needed increased funding
to provide better training and equipment. They didn't supportincreasing
student activity fees an estimated $30 per student. Hansen said the board
hadmisunderstood him and that he was willing to negotiate to save the
program. After students voted tokeep the team last spring at a special
referendum and after Hansen had pared down his original figures,the board
reversed its recommendation. The program received an additional $6,000
(approximately)per year for equipment, and through reorganization of
existing funds, was able to afford a full-timeassistant coach, Athletic
Director Lynda Goodrich said. Hansen gave three reasons for the
program'simprovement. "We had more talented players this year, we had an
older, more experienced coachingstaff and we had a very supportive
athletic director," he said. The seniors largely were responsible forthis
season's winning team, Hansen said. Their leadership and positive
attitude helped the team staytogether. "Lewis, Nelson, even guys who
didn't play too much, were just great." Senior linebackerWayne Lewis set
a school record with 431 tackles in his career. He led the defense for a
fourth straightseason with a personal-best 155 stops and a CFL-leading 11
takeaways. Lewis, sophomore safetyKelly Susee and junior punter Peter
LaBarge were named first team All-CFL. Even though we'll be losing a lot
of great players, with hard work we'll have a good team next year, too,
Hansen said. "I'm sure thatthe threat of dropping the team brought the
players closer together," Goodrich said. THE HOTEL Merry Christmas from

14 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Class examines gay-lesbian sub
culture ByFRANCINE OTT staff reporter A Fairhaven College winter
quarter seminar on gay-lesbian studies willstudy the sexual minority
subculture. The class is designed to introduce students to basic
issuescentral to homosexuality. The relationship of a subculture to a
culture is the main focus of theclass, said Scott Lennon, a Fairhaven
student who leads the class. Lennon said the gay-lesbiansubculture is
being used as a model because it is one of the newest and most
controversial subcultures. "(The course) is an academic examination of
the forces that have shaped the gay-lesbian subculturein the past 50
years," Lennon said. The institutions and leading figures who have risen
from thesubculture also will be discussed, Lennon said. He plans to use
the disciplines of sociology,psychology, anthropology and history to
explore gay-lesbian issues and subculture. Issues to becovered in the
course include: sex and sexuality, AIDS and its effect on American
society, the history of the contemporary homosexual rights movement,
heterosexual privilege, homophobia, minority politics and social
structures in our society. "I see this ideally as the first course that
would ultimately make up a gay studies department," Lennon said. Lennon
said classes on sexual minorities are rare. The classreceived press
coverage last spring because it is so uncommon. The Advocate, a national
magazine that highlights sexual minorities' issues, interviewed Lennon
about the seminar, as did Bellingham radiostation KGMI. This is the
second quarter the class has been taught. Lennon said he has received
nonegative or adverse reactions to the seminar, only positive and
supportive feedback. Titled Fairhaven210B: Cultural Studies, the class
is four credits and meets 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays andThursdays. Home
ec. design group will tour Sweden, Finland A spring break design-oriented
tour ofHelsinki and Stockholm is being planned by Western's home economics
department. The tour,scheduled for March 20 to 27, may be taken for two
credits and is offered to all Western students. PatMitchell, chairman of
the home economics department, will lead students through an
architectural tour ofHelsinki, the capital of Finland and a walking tour
of Stockholm, Sweden. "I was very impressed withdesign in Finland,"
Mitchell said. She said she enjoyed design in Helsinki and Stockholm and
wantedto share it with students. Students will have a chance to visit a
glass factory, textile printing factory, afurrier and a garment
manufacturer. The tours of the factories will give students a chance to
seeevery aspect of a product's creation, Mitchell said. Students also may
visit museums in both citiesand the Finnish Design Center in Helsinki.
Students will spend two nights traveling between Helsinki and Stockholm
aboard a cruiseliner. Cost of the tour is $1,195. It includes round-trip
air fare, double-occupancy hotel accommodations, two nights aboard a
cruiseliner, four dinners and all breakfasts,transportation and sightseeing
fees. An initial payment of $150 is due Jan. 15. Space is limited to
15students. Applications may be picked up at the Home Economics Office in
Old Main. Threeorientation lectures will be presented winter quarter. For
more information contact Pat Mitchell at676-3372 or 676-3370. WSL board
votes against restructuring By KRIS LUNDEEN staff reporter
TheWashington Student Lobby State Board voted unanimously against
Western's plan to restructure theWSL at a meeting Nov. 22 at the
University of Washington. "The board decided it would be ill advised to
(restructure) this close to the session," Andy McLean, Western WSL
chairman, said. AssociatedStudent President Dan Wood stated, in an
announc-w ement, that since Western's plan has noimplementation schedule,
it would not be feasible to adopt it now. The board followed
Wood'ssuggestion to instead opt for WSL Executive Director Jim Sullivan's
plan. Sullivan's plan deals withsignificant budgetary decisions affecting
the operating structure of WSL. The executive director'ssalary was
reduced from $24,000 to $8,400. Salaries and benefits, including an uncut
intern salary,total $11,000. Approximately $6,300 will be available to
local chapters. Each chapter will now haveaccess to approximately $1,260.
They originally had access to only $500. The board will meet again
inabout six months to review Sullivan's plan and discuss proposals for
restructuring WSL. "This is apositive step toward having a stronger
student lobby. Our strength comes from numbers and emphasis on the local
organization," Wood said. The WSL legislative agenda, to be presented to
the statelegislature for the session beginning in January, was decided at
the meeting. * Correction KathleenShaw, who wrote a directory for

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 WESTERN FRONT 15 Committee to pick new president
By LAURAGORDON staff reporter The Board of Trustees' presidential
pre-search subcommittee tooksuggestions last night from about 40 Western
faculty and students regarding the selection of a newuniversity
president. The subcommittee, which consists of Trustees Martha Choe,
chair, Larry Taylorand Gordon Sandison, will formulate a process for the
selection and determine the composition of thesearch committee. The
committee tentatively will include Choe as chair, Taylor, Trustee Craig
Cole, four faculty members, Associated Students President Dan Wood, one
additional student and at least four administrators. Remaining committee
members should be appointed by the end of January, whenthey will begin
considering possible candidates for the position currently filled by
acting President AlFroderberg. Some faculty members were concerned that
the committee be large and varied enough torepresent all of the
university's interests. Choe said her preference was for the group to
remain smalland she didn't want the committee's size to be an issue. "I
will seek to balance the representation ofconstituencies, with a workable
group," Choe said. Rosalie King, chair of the home economicsdepartment,
agreed with Choe, but added she thought at least one faculty member
should be awoman. She also said she would like the professional
departments, such as technology, to haveinput. "My concern is that across
the campus there is such a diversity of faculty. I want to be sure
theyare all represented," she said. Choe said the campus community will
be kept apprised of thecommittee's findings through upcoming forums and
that the search for potential candidates could becompleted by June, Choe
said. "I think this (date) is reasonable. We are going to take the
amount oftime we need in order to do the best job possible." Rugby fate
unfairly decided, Biggs says Continuedfrom RUGBY, p.1 fate, it should
rest with the Club Sport Council. "We went through ail that hassle to go
through the Club Sport Council and they made their decision, and they
(Smith and Sather) just ignoredthat and booted us anyway," Biggs
complained. Part of the suspension states the team may notclaim
affiliation with Western, and Sather said if they continue calling
themselves Western men's rugbyclub they will be violating the suspension.

FRIDAY DECEMBERS 1987 PCP pumps out perverse tunes By JEFF KEELING staff
reporter ne mightthink Bellingham band Pontius Co-Pilate (PCP), with
influences as varied as the speed-metal bandAnthrax, rapper Schooly D and
schlock-pop songstress Nancy Sinatra, would have trouble finding aunified
sound. "That's where Hickey's involved," bassist LTD said, in reference
to the pint-sized deitythe band members claim is their unifying factor.
"Hickey the Wonder Bug. He's the greatest god of all,"vocalist Beijing
Waxneedle stated. "Better than Christ, Buddha... " "But then again, our
whole idea is tokill him," guitarist Boom Boom interjected. "He's kind
of a paradoxical parasite. It's a confusing concept,but when you get down
to it, he's like, this little bug, and you both worship him yet destroy
him."Whatever. The guys in PCP (Beijing, Boom Boom, LTD and drummer Doug
"Jung" Disney) don't try tomake a lot of sense, most of the time. Making
a lot of noise is more their gig, and it's something theypromise to do
when they play tonight at the Up and Up Tavern. The band was scheduled to
open for San Francisco's Lethal Gospel, but the headline act backed out
and at presstime PCP still was searchingfor an opening act for tonight.
LTD, Boom Boom and Disney all played in the band Karate Church last year,
and Waxneedle joined the trio last summer when Karate Church split up.
"You can't classify ourmusic," LTD said, but the other members described
it as loud, silly and occasionally socially relevant—
but never offensive. "There's nothing offensive about ... Golden
Showers," Waxneedle exclaimed,referring to the Mentors tune that is one
of PCP's standbys. One of the band's socially relevant tunes,"Eat, Oral,
Eat," probably will appear on the second "Bellingham Complication" tape,
due out earlynext year. Written last spring when Oral Roberts was fasting
in an attempt to raise $8 million, the songis an eloquent plea for the
televangelist to resume consumption of solids. "We were worried about
hishealth," Boom Boom said. The band also is recording a full-length
tape, due out in January, which willinclude its five-song thropera
(thrash/ opera), "Strap On ~ The Story of a Young Man in Turmoil."
Thethropera includes the band's unofficial anthem, "The Ballad of Gruff
Otis," about a school truancyofficer who likes young boys. Indicative of
the overtly perverted, sexual lyrics present in many PCP t u n e s , the
amphetamine-paced "Gruff Otis" includes the verse, "He's six-foot-four
and bald on top/ Withhair upon his back./ He smiles at you and leers a
bit/ While thinking of your crack./ Gruff Otis, GruffOtis, there's no
escaping him./ Gruff Otis, Gruff Otis, the future looks quite grim!" The
boys insist they'rejust having fun, but lyrics like these, an abundance
of cacophonous music and some lewd stage antics("we're not playing with
dildos anymore," Beijing pointed out) have gotten the band kicked out of
Buck'sand limited its appearances this fall to The Up and Up. The band
did play on Camano Island and atBellingham's Eagles Hall this summer,
though, during its "Safe Sodomy '87" tour. Waxneedle described
"tolerance" as the basis of PCP's relationship with The Up and Up. Boom
Boom said he believes theproprietors may like the band partly because of
its fans, whom he described as "our drunk friends. It'ssort of a
parasitic relationship. They sell lots of beer, and we get to play
there." The band is trying towiden its appeal, though, and hopes to per-

18 ACCENT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 A Christmas Story Eddie tells Santa
'you're fat' ByDOUGLAS BUELL staff reporter Ah, the spirit of Christmas.
Snow leaves a quilt of downy-soft powderon the streets of Lidsville.
Meanwhile, inside the Borden home, strings of lights hanging on the tree
andcriss-crossing the room blink as if to say.... ...."Eat at Joe's."
After a miserable Thanksgiving Dayfeast of Tortelli's Turkey Loaf - a
brick-shaped bundle of mystery meat gleaming in gelatinous holidayooze ~
Eddie, the mischievous other half of the Borden twins, thought diner chow
sounded prettygood. His amiable brother Robert already had informed
Eddie that turkey loaf would again be served at Christmas dinner because
"mom said so." A distraught Eddie reached out and tweaked Robert'snose,
whereby Robert fled down the stairs screaming, "Eddie broke my nose,
Eddie broke my nose!"Punishment rendered, their parents banished Eddie to
an evening of humility and solitaryconfinement in his room. Later,
Robert helped his mother Liz pin up gaudy Christmas decorationsdownstairs
on the living room walls. He always helps his mother. He's clean.
Friendly. Courteous. Kind.Meanwhile Dad, pipe hanging from his mouth,
teasingly flashed his wife with his new mistletoe bucklebelt. Liz'
cheeks reddened to an amber glow and pulsated, as if to say...
...um..."Eat at Joe's." Sheresponded to Dad with a suggestive wink, and
recommended Robert go upstairs, make holiday peacewith his brother, and
write their letters to Santa Claus. "Gotta write 'em early," she said.
"Otherwise,Zippy the postal boy can't get 'em to the North Pole in time
for Christmas." "Whadya' want forChristmas, son?" asked Dad between
hacking coughs from the screen of pipe smoke that now pervaded him.
Robert said timidly he might like to have the new book, "Babar the
Elephant Gets a Day Job."Grabbing a pen from the plastic pocket protector
pad on the breast pocket of his father's shirt, Robertgot right to work
on his letter. Dear Santa, I've been a good kid. I kiss my Mom and Dad
before I go tosleep at night, I even remember to put the toilet seat down
and flush each time. Mostly. I still believe inyou even though my dear
brother Edward and all the kids at school say you're a Sandinista
guerrilla in disguise and you don't wash your hair regularly. Although
what I really want is to see the people ofthe world Please see CHRISTMAS,

20 ACCENT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 British comedy 'steps' into PAC 'D
irecting is not tellingpeople where to stand but develop- 5 ing the
character...their tactics and intentions. -Sternberg MaryBeth Sternberg
directs Western drama students in 'Taking Steps;' *. ' ;; *; Elizabeth
(AnnaLisa Houk) issurprised by her motorcycle-riding landlord (Rob
Noteboom).' By MAGGIE PRINGLE staff reporter T heBritish comedy, "Taking
Steps," features a six-member cast, comprising Western drama
studentsunder the direction of Western senior Mary Beth Sternberg. The
play opened last night and will continue with performances tonight and
Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Lab Theater, Performing Arts Center
199.Sternberg admits it's unusual for an undergraduate to direct a
full-length play, but she said she plans toattend a California university
next year for a master's degree in fine arts in directing.
Sternbergdirected "The Line" and "Laundry and Bourbon" at Western last
year and acted in Summerstock theater. "Taking Steps," the two-act play by
Alan Ayckbourn, takes place in an old three-story Victorian manor.While
the scenes are in the living room, upstairs bedroom and the attic, the
representation is on thestage level. Sternberg said comedy can be
complicated. "Taking Steps" is the first full-length play she has
directed, and the gimmicks demand timing. "The set is compact, and it
makes it hard for theactors, but it also makes it funny," Sternberg said.
"The small theater lets the audience get close to theaction," she added.
In the play, Roland (played by Mike Rainey) is in the process of buying
the manor.His lawyer (John O'Brien) and landlord (Rob Noteboom) are at
the house when Roland discovers his wife, Elizabeth, (AnnaLisa Houk) has
left him. Elizabeth's brother and his girlfriend (Matt Whitman and
LyssaBrowne) also are at the manor and add to the confusion that leads to
mistaken identities. "Directing is not telling people where to stand but
developing the charac-ter... their tactics and intentions,"Sternberg
said. Through a directional philosophy, her choices reflect an
interpretation of the play. Forthis comedy Sternberg said her philosophy
is "manipulation leads to isolation." With a background inacting and
participating in Western's acting courses and productions she knows what
the characters should do. In choosing the cast Sternberg said she also
knew who had English accents for theexaggerated characters and the timing
for the comedy. Admission to "Taking Steps" is $2 at the door.H
Award-winning artstudents show their best at the VU By ALISON MAJOR staff
reporter Watch out forthe six-foot-long concrete figure when entering
tne Viking Union Gallery. Zena Nottingham's "CementMan" lies low in the
center of the floor, where it could easily he backed into it if visitors
don't payattention. Not that the sculpture is inconspicuous; it isn't,
but the artwork around the gallery may bedistracting enough to make one
forget the massive figure. The gallery is showing prize-winning
Westernartists' work until Dec. 9. Eight art students last spring
received various grants and scholarships fortalent and dedication. To
honor these seniors, space has been provided in the VU Gallery for them
todisplay some of their best works. Among the honors given were the J.
Ruth Kelsey Merit Scholarship, the art department's Annual Art Merit Grant
and the Edward B. Thomas Memorial Scholarship. Workson display are pieces
selected by the artists, so not all are award winners. The showing does,
however,include several award-winning designs or works created with
materials bought from monies providedthrough the grant. Nottingham said
she didn't intend to spend the entire $100 materials-fee waiverawarded
her, but admitted her "Cement Man" required it. "I found I kept on
needing buckets of cement,"she said. Her dedication to the piece didn't
stop there. Pillows, scrap material, plywood and anythingelse she
"didn't mind ruining," also were incorporated into the sculpture. TTie
works range frompaintings and furniture to clothing and have titles such
as "Man Holding Shark" and "Stern's HouseCollage." Stern's House is
Western's painting gallery for art students, artist Catherine
"Kitty"Brougham said. The fine-arts major said she wants the ideas
expressed in her art to be appealing bythemselves, rather than have
people draw on life experiences or outside observations to find meaningin
her work. "I want the impact to be in the pieces themselves, not in the
associations they have withsomething else. I want to hit you one-on-
one," she said. An example is her untitled tracing-paperhanging, which
has a large pinkish-blue or red square on it —
depending on the lighting. As the airmoves the paper, the square's color
changes between blue and pink as the light hits the treated oil-pastel
block of color differently. Brougham said this kinetic energy movement is
what makes the workspecial in it's own right. Senior art student Eric
Freeberg won first place in the J. Ruth Kelsy MeritScholarship
competition, worth a year's residence, tuition and materials. His
still-life oil paintings aredisplayed on the back wall of the gallery.
Kay Kammerzell received the scholarship's second prize:a $100
materials-fee waiver. She said she likes to incorporate industrial
materials, such as metals andplastics into her design. Kammer-zell's
furniture, wall hangings and pendant all feature these materials.She also
has designed triangular metal coffee tables and a couch made of paper
mache, which will be shown at an upcoming Whatcom Museum art festival.
"I'm working more with furniture designsand interior-type objects for
creating an environment where my pieces are definitely functionable,"
shesaid of her current artistic pursuit. Dale Seachord, who won a $50
materials grant, said he used partof the prize to buy army shirts.
"(They) are a prime material in some of my newer pieces," he said.Because
he has become interested in painting again, Seachord said he also bought
oil paint, fixative and turpentine. Seachord's art displayed in the
gallery has characteristics of "The Far Side" comicstrip, although he
clearly has his own perceptions. Seachord added he likes to use
techniques done inthe past, but makes them suit his purpose. For example,
Seachord combines old canvas paintings,heavy material and several types
of drawing textures (i.e. paint, pastel, charchoal) to make one,
largecollage. "The methods to put together are not extremely refined.
Often they're very crude, such as very crude gluing and sewing, which I
feel cuts into the very crude-cut look of the pieces themselves,"Seachord
said. He added this is a technique borrowed from early- 1900s artist Kurt
Switter, known forhis abstract collages. Other students honored for
outstanding achievements in art were Candy Knott,Jennifer England and
Susan Lamb.

2 2 ACCENT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Moonpins return to old turf for weekend
gig at Buck's ByJOHN WYBLE staff reporter It's a homecoming. The former
Bellingham band, The Moonpins, returnswith its high energy funk-rock
tonight and Saturday at Buck's Tavern. The Moonpins emerged four
yearsago, led by bassist Matt McClinton and drummer Jack Wolfin. The band
subsequently added guitaristMike Kilpatrick, keyboardist Rick Haykin and
lead singer Harley Tat. The Moonpins, which onceconsisted of all Western
students, since has moved to the Seattle music scene. When Tat left
forAlaska this summer, The Moonpins were left searching for a new singer.
"We took out an ad in TheRocket for a new singer, but some of the people
were a little weird," McClinton said. "One guy wouldn'tleave the city
limits of Seattle." They finally decided on Karl Muller, a Sehome High
School graduate whoused to sing for Arms Akimbo, a reggae-ska dance band.
"Karl had a strong voice and was highlymotivated. He is also good at
throwing lyrics at music," McClinton said. Last spring, The
Moonpinsrecorded a demo tape of some of its original songs, which are a
danceable mix of funk, rock and reggae. The band's lyrics range from
political commentaries to nonsensical themes, such as "Moving toTukwila,"
a story of a strange, paranoid man trying to escape from urban pressures.
"The Rocket calledour tape pleasant and light, which gave us a chuckle,"
McClinton said. Along with its original music, The Moonpins plays covers
by the Talking Heads, Doors, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Commodores.
Theperformance material also includes the song by Muller called "Davy
Jones' Locker" about David Bowie.The Moonpins will head into the studio
in January to record its first album, which should be out early next
summer. The album will include many of the old originals along with some
new material. The bandcurrently is planning a dance in the Viking Union
Lounge next month, a double bill with the AlmightyDread, Bel-lingham's
local reggae band. The performances at Buck's Tavern will cost $4 or $3
with a can of food for the Bellingham Food Bank. The Moonpins are: Rick
Haykin, Matt McClinton, Karl Muller,Mike Kilpatrick and Jack Wolfin.

Continued from PILATE, p.17 form at some all-age affairssoon. "We want to
play the Nash Hall turn-around dance in the spring," Waxneedle said.
While theband waits for a wider audience, the members continue writing
new songs, about one every twoweeks. "We're purposely writing our songs
to get on the PMRC's (Parent's Music Research Council)blacklist," Disney
said. The PMRC, headed by Tipper Gore, the wife of presidential candidate
Albert,is lobbying to establish a rating system for songs, so parents
will know if their children arepurchasing music with "offensive content."
"And we think it's great that Albert (Gore) actually smokedpot," Disney
added. "We should confess, we've all smoked pot, but we all regret it,"
Waxneedle said."And don't do crack," Boom Boom admonished. "It kills."
