Monday night aÂ§ Suzanne Bloch,. singer and musician presents aprogram of music for lute, recorders and virginals. -DURING HER program in lecture hall four at 8:30p. m., Miss SUZANNE BLQCH Bloch will sing and play almost 30 pieces which have-their origins backin merrie alude England. Miss"Bloch has-been called the â€¢greatest living expert in her field and hasmastered three of the most difficult instruments in-the realm oimusic. L. Besides her gifted musical a-bility Miss B^och. highlights her performance with her own brand of wit and her facility at making theunusual music ,tell its own Story. Suzanne Bloch is the daughter of Ernest Bloch a famous American composer who resided in Portland until his death a few years ago. A film made during Hitler's acme ofpower in Nazi Germany will flash onto the screen tonight .at 8:30 in the Auditorium. "Olympia," the official three and a half hour film document of the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin, has made Hollywood'sgrandiose and extravagant productions appear insignificant. THE FILM EXEMPLIFIES the power ofmotion picture^ propaganda and the genius of its director, Leni Riefenstahl. When Germany wasawarded the right to host the Olympic games in 1936, Hitler determined that the Berlin games should not only be the most spectacular in Olympic history, but that rfhe Olympic tradition should serve todisseminate the Nazi doctrine of "Strength Through Joy." Miss Riefenstahl was given a free hand inpreserving the spiendor of the festival on.film. The Party's unlimited funds were placed at her disposalalong with an unprecedented array of equipment, including gigantic telephoto lenses, camerasenclosed in waterproof housings, cameras mounted .on trucks, balloons, electric: track's and specialcran%st "this equipment ranged throughput all the stadia, tracks, and fields affording a coverage of thegames such as no eye witness could-hope for. RIEFENSTAHL SUPERVISED the entire production, handpicking the more than 100 Cameramen, conferring with them nightly, and coordinating the vastquantity of film shot into her own editorial scheme. She cut the film single-handedly over a period of 18months, reducing the more than 240 hours of fool-age to three and a half hours screening time. "Olympia" is remarkable not only for the ingenuity with which it covers the sports events, but for the almostceaseless variety with which its subject matter is treated. The most famous sequence in the film is themen's diving competition. Many Westernites saw."this clip from the major work as a short subject duringone of the winter quarter film presentations.: , ';'.. .. Wadleigh Great Fun To Hate' ^Angels' Has By Dave"Amos Vic Leverett, with the help of Sam and Bella Spewack, authors of "My Three" Angels," is a veryfunny fellow. A line rolling off his agile tongue suffers no bruises on the way to its intended receiver. "MyThree Angels," featuring Leverett, opened Wednesday evening in Old Main Auditorium, and both are asuccess, though the play is spotted here and there with minor errors that should be gt; ironed out before the week-end performances. On occassion the timing is off, and in the first act some very funny lines are thrown away. Short rehearsal time may be the cause of missed timing. Dave Robertson, cohort ofLeverett, also proves himself able to deliver a line with relish. Both his and Leverett's lines are oftenwaited for in eager anticipation by the audience. John Siariovich, the third of the angels, is a little stiff in his part, but this may be due to the fact that he hasn't the opportunities in delivering punch lines that histwo fellow "do-gooders" have. Paul Wadleigh is a properly nasty villain and is great fun to hate. J imHamilton, who plays Wadleigh's nephew,* hps*1?he ability to'portray* jusfr the right degree of dandifiedindignity that one would expect from a character such as he plays. . . - BECAUSE THE three-actcomedy is primarily dominated by males; the female section of the cast doesn't appear in such a goodlight. Sue Gole, as the store-keeper's wife, portrays just that, and quite adequately. Laura Lilgreen, asthe storekeeper's daughter, puts in a good effort, but it would appear that she is not as fMghty a personas the character she is' playing$ is supposed to be. 'Â£ Don Oppermon, playing the inefficient store-keeper who is helped by the ''angels/' needs a little time to j help him loosen up. Marilyn Miller, a creditcustomer 4 of the store, started slow but improved rapidly as the play progressed. ^ r It is a pleasure tonote that there was a minimum of line:muffing, enabling the audience to meet the actors half-way in theirdevelopment of the situation. In addition to receiving credit for directing the play, Paul Waldo has createda likable set which fits well for the time and place besides holding up well under some vigorous door-slamming. "My .Three Angels" will be performed each evening at the Old Main Auditorium at 8:15 through Saturday, night. The play starts on time, so be a little early. lt; â€¢ DIRECTOR Paul Waldo gives afew acting hints to some of the cast members in "My Three Angels/' now showing in Western's little theater: Old Main, lecture- hall 1. ---------- Collegian - 1963 July 26 - Page 2 ---------- PAGRTWO THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1963 to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortedwe print phony articles A story appears in this week's Collegian that is phony. The article about theSummer Arts Festival presents only one side of the opinions gleaned by a Collegian reporter. The quotesthat aren't listed in the story rake the artist and lecture series for being juvenile," uninteresting andloaded with mediocre talent. These same critics told the reporter that they dictn't want their namesattached to the quotes for fear of reprisals. Many noted that they hadn't attended the eventsbecause the selection was so bad. It's interesting to learn that Western is so well endowed withcriticsâ€”not just average critics, but critics who can actually evaluate a lecturer or musician withouteven attending his presentation â€”4hat takes rear talent. We're also very happy to note that these finecritics had the discretion to prohibit their names from appearing next to their quotes, after all the big badadministration checks every quote in the Collegian every week just waiting to catch someone saying nasty things about college sponsored programs. The summer artist and lecture series has been thebest this college has seen in many years. A variety of talent has highlighted the Festival and it certainlydoesn't look mediocre from this seat in the auditorium. But of course we're in no position to judgebecause we've made the mistake of attending some of the events.â€”Richard F. Simmons. new look forthe BOC At the latest Summer Board of Con-rol's meeting Gary Gerhard, Chairman, asked the Board toconsider his proposal for reducing the Board from nine members plus a chairman to an executivecommittee of four members plus a chairman. This proposal sounds like the power of studentlegislation,being fuhneled from a large group to a small group, thus putting more power into fewerexecutive hands. However, it seems apparent to this writer, being a member of the Summer Board ofControl, that the Board actually has no absolute functions, except to enlarge the mire of thebureaucratic process in student government. It seems that the ten people on the Summer Board ofControl really have no authority to take any legislative action, except, oh occasion to transfer moneyfrom one account to another account for a specific need. Who needs ten people to make earthshattering decisions like that? Let's start getting rid of some of the unnecessary fixtures in summerstudent governments Five members will make the right decisions in a more efficient and more un-bufeaucratic manner.â€” Ray Burke.

"However, some of the most unique attractions are still in the offing. The two theatreproductions, "My Three Angels" and the Summer Opera, are expected to have the largestattendance," Regier noted. Dr. Frederick Feringer, co-chairman of the festival, described the programas doing more this summer than any other part of the year. "There is still something greatly lacking in communications with the faculty and students," he said. "These artists - are revealing BUY ALL YOUR DAIRY PRODUCTS AT THE HILLVIEW DAIRY 16 FLAVORS OF ICE CREAM â€¢ SKIM MILK AND2% MILK Only 19 lt; with bottles 1824 Cornwall Ave. some aspect to life, more than adding a frill, theyare essentially necessary because they have an insight into life and they express it through their artform. Too few students take advantage of this." TERRY THOMAS commented, "I think it's great.We.have more activities this summer than a lot of schools have during their regular school year." GaryGerhard added, "Students from other Universities think our summer programming is terrific,'* JimStipes remarked, "I wholeheartedly believe that some of the programs hold'.". worthwhile experiencesof terrific value for the student who would not necessarily attend these programs under usualcircumstances." Dr. James McAree replied, "I have been delighted with what I have seen and I wish wecould do more of it." Dr. Keith Murray added", "I have only attended two or three and have been satisfied with what I have seen." MIKE HYATT remarked, "I think they have a well rounded balance of. culturalevents. They fit their purpose rather well." Don Haase, who described the Festival as a "good selection of events, excellent foreign films," noted that he "should start going to some of this stuff." Out of ChaosBy Dave Amos How many teachers are aware of how they are rated on the evaulations of their abilitywhich are placed in their credentials by their previous employer? Few. How many teachers would like toknow what their last evaluating superintendent or principal wrote about them in the credential evaluation?Many. How does the teacher find out what was written? Unless the superintendent has shown the.evaluation sheet to the teacher in question before it was sent in to the placement office, the teacher willnever know how he was rated. He can only get a general impression something is wrong when he notesthat a lot of other people are getting the positions for which he had applied. It is agreed that teachercredentials should be kept confidential, but why should a teacher be kept in the dark about his owncredentials? He shouldn't. It is an unwise and unfair practice. The teacher should have the right to knowhow he stands. There are two reasons why the teacher-should have this right. First of all, the teacher has to be aware of his weaknesses before he can improve upon them, and he should know his strong pointsin order that he may maintain them. The other reason is that superintendents are in possession of apowerful weapon which they can use to inhibit actions of their teachers by tire implied threat of a poorevaluation which the teacher will never have the opportunity to see. IF SECRECY OF the evaluationsuggests that it will be more honest because the evaluator will not be "too easy" then it also suggeststhat the evaluator has the opportunity to be too harsh. Which is the more honest? It is a double-edgedsword. The evaluating superintendent or principal, ideally speaking, should! call in the teacher beingevaluated and show him the rating sheet before it is sent into the placement office. Those who follow thispractice appear to be in the minority. FOR THIS REASON it would seem a good suggestion that theteacher be guaranteed seeing his evaluation sheet by requiring that his signature be placed on this sheetjust below the signature block of the evaluating superintendent. This signature would mean only that hehas seen the evaluation; not whether he approves or disapproves of it. Should this signature be missingthen the evaluating superintendent should be required to make a signed statement as to why theteacher's signature is missing. In turn, the teacher would be notified by his placement office that hisevaluation has been turned in without his signature. These two features would assist in having both theteacher and administrator play the game according to the rules. You mean to say that teachers andadministrators don't always act properly. Please, if you will, both are human beings. Say, I haven't signed a contract yet for this coming year. Do you suppose . . . .

Thus began what may be t e r m e dt h e most i n t e r e s t i n g t h r e e days Western has seen all summer. Dr. H a r r y F. Harlow, i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y known psychologist, d r ew on 33 y e a r s of experience w i t h rhesus monkeys andpresented thsree outstanding lectures which highlighted the e n t i r e summer session. Harlow statedthat the only animal other than man with a family structure similar to man's is the gibbon, half monkeyand half ape, which is considered the stupidest of the primates. Dr. Harlow's experiments with affectionconsisted in isolating several rhesus monkeys, out of touch with any \ other monkey or human being, for six months to two years. Some monkeys completely withdrew from any situation when taken out ofisolation. Others persisted in aimless activity, jumping around in their cages and a third group showedextreme aggression against their own bodies. He also found that monkeys isolated more than threemonths could not be helped in any way. Another group of monkeys were given cloth or wire mothersSELF-SERVICE Dry Cleaning and Laundry 903 STATE ST.

It was foundthat even though the infants were fed with the wire mother, they preferred the cloth one. Also whenthey were put in a play situation with odd objects they could find security with the cloth mothers but notwith the wire ones. Dr. Harlow noted that "There is only one thing worse than a wire mother, that is awire wife." They had a hard time getting these "motherless" monkeys to breed but finally six of thembecame pregnant. These mothers ignored their offspring often doing them physical harm to keepthem away, and if the laboratory assistants hadn't fed them they would have died. THESE BABIES werepermitted to get out of their cages and mingle with their peers but the mothers weren't. They grew upnormal and when they produced offspring of their own they treated them normally. Twenty minutes aday with other monkeys would offset the social deprivation of isolation.. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ In a later lecture,Dr. Harlow dealt with his work concerning neuro-physiology and learning Bilateral frontal lesions weredone on several groups of rhesus monkeys, some at five days of age, some at 150 days, and some attwo years. They were then tested along with a group of normal monkeys on a delayed response, Adelay of five seconds was used. THE IMPORTANT fact ascertained was that in the operated two-year-olds, the delayed response that they had mastered earlier had been almost totally destroyed while the other' three groups showed no appreciable change in their ability to perform this act of learning. Other delays of ten, 20, and 40 seconds were used showing similar results. Frontal lesions are not supposedto hinder other learning processes so further tests were given these monkeys in set learning. IT WASFOUND in these tests that the older operants did the best for this in a learning skill developed later thanthe delayed response. This confirmed that other learning abilities were not hindered by this operation.Another group of monkeys were DR. HARRY F.

Dr. Harlow stated that contrary toFreud's theory that the mother was the all important figure to its offspring, peer formation is moreparamount. Dr .Harlow's talks, packed with information, were interspersed with , dashes of humor. Priorto the third lecture it was noted that the amount of publication by Dr. Harlow had made it necessary todivide it into early, middle, and late Harlow. gt; Armed with a battery of slides, Dr. Harlow carefullyillustrated his three lectures to an audience of students and faculty alike. Dusty's Corner By FREDDUSTMAN. Summer Sports Editor Question: Why is Floyd Patterson like Bellingham sunshine? Answer: Because neither one lasts very long. Patterson may be so demoralized by the Sonny Liston series thathe will bring his disguise to all future fights; if he can't make it in the ring he may gain a reputation as adisguise artist. Maybe his next bout will see him disguised as a fighter. One thing in Patterson's favor isoutstanding bravery; he may be the guttiest man alive . . . . he wants to fight Liston again.

Bearman finished in a, tie for 11th in the National NAIA Golf Tournament, last June 8, toqualify for this honor. It is quite a distinction to make an All-American team and congratulations aredue, even if belated. It has been quite a while since any Viking has made any All-American squad. JimJorgenson, the golfing perennial from Enumclaw, tied for 30th in the same meet. Jorgenson also placedhigh in the 1961 national tournament, giving him an outstanding record to show for his college golf.Bearman should be back next year to beef up an already potentially strong golf squad. Jorgy, an affableveteran of four years, won't return; he is finally making it out with his cap and gown. He will be missed.Dr. William Tomaras, Western's famed wrestling coach, pointed with unconcealed satisfaction to lastWinter's grunt squad's academic performance. As a team they averaged 2.7, a credible claim for notice.We hereby take notice and give plaudits. We also give cheers to Dr. Tomaras; it is pleasant, andreassuring, to meet a coach who is concerned with his athletes' academic life, other than seeing to orworrying about them meeting minimum elegibility standards. The wrestling program is about to bear fruitin another facet; it will produce a bona fide coach, the first since the sport's inception two years ago.Mike Boettcher, a letterman in 1962, will coach Oak Harbor High's wrestlers next Winter.

Hyatt explained that the original idea for Western's first"Outstanding Teacher Award" came from a similar idea presented at a meeting of the NationalStudent Congress last August. THE PROCESS for the selection of the candidates was explained byHyatt. Forty faculty members were nominated from open nominations by faculty members andstudents. A committee of two upper division students from each of Western's 13 departments, plusfive members of the ASB Legislature and Dr. Harold Chatland, Academic Dean, was formed. From atest taken by the students and legislature members of the committee, a list of ten instructors waschosen. Then the committee administered the Purdue Instructor Preference Indicator Test to all thestudents in all ten instructors' classes, which were scored by Dr. William C. Budd, College Examiner."The size of the class didn't affect the outcome. From these tests the winners were selected," Hyattrelated.

IRISH POET, THOMAS KINSELLA, right,discusses some of the salient aspects of Irish poetry with James O'Brien of the English department.Kinsella appearted Tuesday as an attraction in the summer concert-lecture series. Kinsella will returnto the Irish Department of Finance after finishing a six-month leave of absence in the United States. "Theartist behaves unpredictably. When the .artist tries to halt .the moment he is doing the unnatural thing. He is analyzing the detail of the moment. For example, in a poem, the poet may write about the minutedetail of his lover's hair." This is one part of the "productive process" of poetic writing according toThomas Kinsella, Irish poet, who spoke on the "Creative Process" this week at Western. "Against theprocess of the destruction of the individual (death), people are toiling, but progress is being made. Thehuman impulse can comprehend the world because man's imagination has civilized chaos," Kinsellaoptimistically explained before he read one of his poems. The process of change in an adolescentfrom school to working, when the emotions are apparent and the adolescent is going through anawkward time was presented by Kinsella in his "Chrysaliiys." Kinsella said that the ideal poem wouldbe an assembling of "the shables of experience" used in the interpretation of when the artist "stops andcatches the real moment of time" in a poem. HE EXPLAINED that he was not an avid reader, butdeduced his ideas for his poetry from his own experiences. Kinsella is presently nearing the end of a six month leave of absence from the duties of a civil servant in Ireland's Department of Finance. While inthe United States he has been doing translation work on an Irish epic poem at Cambridge University.Gerhard Wants BOC Changed Should the Summer Board of Control be reduced to an executivecommittee?

The squad was put through another scrimmage Wed-, nesday, giving every one a chance to show their1 stuff. From all indications it appears that the team will be heavier than last^year. A few of the bright spots of the last two weeks of practice have been "the punting of A. Smith and Williams, and the passing of Harris, former Fairhaven quarterback. The lettermen have been showing up well, with the exception of Ing Iv-erson, who is handicapped with a lame back but is expected to be in good shape by tomorrow.

Most columnists take an awful riding regardless of the Worth of their material. This column has an advantage because its author is unknown. May he remain so. Which all reminds us—folks, we advise you not to discuss this column with your neighbor—he may be the author. For the past two weeks a peppy squad of men under Coach Sam E. Carver and Assistant Coach 'Top" Onnn has been undergoing rigid training. The boys all claim they are in shape and are ready for the opening game against the "Buttercups" (Beltingham's town team) tomorrow. Coach Sam doesn't believe his men are in shape yet, nor is he quite satisfied with the smoothness of his team. Personally, we think Sam is using that old "Pop" Warner psychology. During the past several years, Sam Carver has been an understudy of the Warner system down at Stanford Unversity. The plays the Vikings will use tomorrow are, however, somewhat patterned after the Rockne system, using a balanced line and a hidden backfield formation. According to Sam, his team will play straight football tomorrow, the majority of the plays being line-bucks, off-tackle smashes, end-runs, and an occasional pass. (Come to think of it, there's not much more to an offensive game ,is there?) Mr. "Swede" Anderson, football coach of Whatcom High, remarked that he would rather have a light peppy team than a slow heavy one. "Swede" is a past student of this school and more than once has made his letter up here. We were discussing "Swede's" comment with Sam Carver. According to Sam, '"A light peppy team is fine, but personally, I would rather be coach of a heavy peppy team." And that all reminds us that the squad up here this year averages but 157 pounds per man. Weight will tell. Both Cheney and Ellensburg have heavy teams this year, comprised mostly of let-termen. Up here We have a heavy line and a fast shifty backfield. We believe that we will win the tri- Normal Championship in football if we have no injuries. But if any of the regulars- are sitting on the bench during either of the two games We wont have a chance because there will not be any more weight to patch up the holes in the line, as there are but seven men weighing over 180 pounds, and \ight more of 170-180 pounds. i As we stood in the hall this ' lorning we saw a group of Univer-jity of Washington students. They re going to give this school a jreak this quarter. We sure like to 'have you up here and hope you'll give us some of your pep and enthusiasm. Tomorrow's game should end with the score about 22 to 6, in favor of Normal. We may not be able to mow down the Buttercups to quite that score, but you can rely on the prediction that the Buttercups will have one • tough hour of football— and that goes for any other team, also. Jess Sutton, Bob Cox, and Bud Turner have just recently joined the squad. Jess and Bob are let-termen, holding regular positions on the team last year, and Bud comes to this school with some good football records to his credit. All three probably will get in the game tomorrow although they are not quite in condition. Last year we won three out of the possible five tri-Normal championships, although we did drop football and basketball. We had an excellent football team last year, but they didn't seem to be in condition at the right tunes. A good many of the fellows had side work, and were carrying too heavy cows es... Also the team was light... According to pre-seasbn dope, this year will be different. We have more weight, more men, and better equipment. The depression has sent some real football men up here, but.it has also sent Cheney and Ellensburg plenty of excellent material. We believe the tri-Normal games will be more nearly on a collegelevel this year. Football Schedule Buttercups—here, October 3. Port Townsend Coast Guard —here, October 10.

A short program, including skits introducing the fall sports, was given followed by plenty of dancing and refreshments. Girls' sports for fall quarter are scheduled as follows: Hockey, Monday and Wednesday; soccer, Tuesday and Thursday; volley ball, Tuesday and Thursday; tap dancing, Monday and Wednesday, and hiking on Saturday. Although sports are sponsored by the W. A. A., any girl in school is invited to turn out whether or not she is a member, according to Miss Weythman, faculty advisor. GRIZZLIES WIN GAME WITH ONE TOUCHDOWN HIKE IS PLANNED FOR CHUCKANUT Meeting on the Normal school campus at 9:00 o'clock tomorrow morning, October 3, a large group of enthusiastic hikers will leave for Mt. Chuck-anut on the first all-school hike of the quarter. Mr. Bond, who has charge of the hike, is expecting a large crowd of both old and new students to attend the first fall hike. Everyone is to bring his own lunch and Mr. Bond promises plenty of hot coffee, for everyone. After eating lunch on the top of the mountain, the hikers will start down in order to get back to the campus in time for the big football game in the afternoon. than ever before in the history of Washington State Tri-Normal football. We believe the team this year will go down in the records as one of the best ever produced up here. We believe we will win the tri-Normal football championshp.— Sam and "Pop" to the contrary. o MUST CLOSE AND SNEAK? THIS "COPY" INTO THE JOURNALISM ROOM.

Theater Guild Gives "Enter Madame" As Season's First Play BEANS PROVE "MIXERS" Quite a flock of young hopefuls from the Normal were seen swarming in and about the Armory last Tuesday night, in vain attempts to either pluck up courage to dance or to participate in ye merrie games, which were being lustily enjoyed in the building. The reason for the commotion was the fact that the Armory was the meteing place for the yearly mixer.: ' Elsie O'Donnell acted as head of this quarter's mixer, tyith three committees working under her. Edith Jenkins acted as head of the decorating committee, Evelyn Chandler had charge of the refreshments, Virginia Carver headed the entertainment committee. The first event on the evening's program was the receiving line and its profound welcome. After each student had been duly presented to persons in that line they gallantly marched (or slipped; considering the condition of the floor) on and were rewarded with five beans which', sad fact* were forfeited if :their owner said . "yes," or "no," during the game. Tags, which had been previously distributed, divided the students into six different groups, namely: Pirates, Grizzlies, Norsemen, Indians, Vikings; and Sea Hawks. During the course of the evening stalwart two hundred and fifty-pound men of mighty muscle, as well .as innumerable "sweet young things" joined in such games as "Jolly is the Miller," and "Merry-go- round" and by the "time they had panted through several games nearl y everyone knew his neighbor and in some cases knew where he was from, what his grandfather did for a living, and what his opinion of the presnt depression amounted to. Tag dances, ladies' and men's choices,- and plain dances were enjoyed to the tune of "Barney's" orchestra. Punch was served throughout the dance, and by the time the appointed hour, for departure had been reached ,the mixer had attained its purpose and' the students had been thoroughly "mixed". Those serving on the committees were: Under the decorating committee, Katherine Mounter, Doris Phillippi, Eileen Morrison, and John James; the refreshment committee, Kathleen Hill, Myron Chandler, Phyllis Lamareaux, and Gerald Dawson; the entertainment committee, Evicli, Rickerson, Murray, Jeveny, Korthauer, Porter, Hunt, Knight, George, Schultz, Nelson, Johnson, Skotheim, Flowers, Abbott, Shelton, Comfort, Denny, Donovan, Falkner, Gable, and Mickelson.

C, after its last concert at Pittsburgh, Pa., on October 27.

It is rumored that about three hundred athletes will participate in the big event, with Charles Hoff, Norwegian Pole Vaulter, as the added attraction, in an attempt to break his-present record of 13 feet 11 13-16 inches. Class A schools, include those who are members of the Pacific Coast conference; Bellingham and Ellens-burg Normals, University of Washington Freshmen, Willamette University, Whitman College, Pacific University, and the College of Puget Sound make up Class B; the high schools of the Northwest will be known as Class C; and the secondary institutions of Seattle are to be Class D. The Vikings have already defeated one of their opponents in the Carnival, C." P. S., and dope shows that Prigg and Hemmi should have no trouble in copping the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Stickney will run the 440 and Hawkings will carry the Blue and White in the half mile. Abbey will perform in the mile relay. However,- the Tacomans took the mile relay last Saturday on Waldo Field and will be considered to have a slight edge in that event. According to the Seattle Times, this year's Carnival should prove to be the most spectacular since the first meet which was held in 1920. On May 29, thei,W. A. A. will have i t s annual trip to Mt. Constitution. The^Islander can be chartered for. ^he; trip if 100 members sigh. up. The fare will be $100, and in the afternoon, after.'••the cliriib, the Islander-will cruise around the islands. Those wishing to_ go are asked to sign up soon in gt;order that the boat.may be chartered. The faculty are invited to make this trip with the W. A. A. On May 8, a trip will be taken;to' Lummi Island and .Lummi Mountain will be climbed, .;' providing enough members sign up-.and arrangements are made. For details, concerning either of these, trips see the W. A. A. bulletin board. Normal Will Take Affirmative Against College of Pacific in the Last Debate of the Year. MAY DAY OBSERVED AS OLDEN HOLIDAY Dedicated to Flower Goddess, May Poles and Dancing Part of Celebration in Villages. VrelNG VODVIL TO BE GREAT SUCCESS Mueh talent .was displayed last night in the various acts that tried for. places on the third annual Viking Vodvil bill which is to be presented in the school auditorium, May 14. : Skits, dances, musical numbers, and wooden soldier parades were all given the once over by th committee of judges who will select an all star line-up of pep, color, action, and quality for the eight acts. "I feel very well pleased with the response that has been given by the clubs in try outs," states Manager Einar Fretheim,' last night, "and I am positive that this year's Viking Vodvil..will, .be the greatest show of its kind that has ever been, put on in this school." .. ••;-, Tomorrow, the first day of the fifth month of our modern year, has quite a history. It was first dedicated to Mara, mother of Mercury, by the Romans who observed the day by,a ritual. Later it was celebrated in honor of Flora, goddess of flowers. The entire month of May has long been regarded unlucky for marriages owing to thrree festivals of the unhappy dead held on the 9th, 11th, and 13th. In medieval and Tudor England, May Day was a great public holiday. All classes of people, young and old alike, were up with the dawn, and went "a-Maying" in the woods. Branches of trees and flowers were borne back in triumph to the towns" and villages. The center of the procession was occupied by those who shouldered the maypole, glorious with ribbons and wreaths. Finally the maypole became a necessary part of a town's architecture. In 1644, the Puritans could no longer tolerate these "stick idols," about which__the people 'leape and daunce, as the heathen did." All traces of May Day festivities were removed as far as possible until the Restoration in 1661. In the last debate of the season, the women's team of the Bellingham Normal will take the affirmative against the women's team of the College, of the Pacific, Stockton, California, -''at-'' three o'clock. in the auditorium this afternoon. The child labor . question,- a question approved by the Pi Kappa Delta, national debating society, to which the jnembers of the California College; Elizabeth Evans and Rosie Lee Williams, belong, will be debated. Grace Jacpbspn and Margaret Black will oppose the visiting tarn. , Mr. Matt Hill, secretary of the Alumni Association of the University of Washington, has been secured to act as judge. s . .• ' — - o .•• lt; oseberry Point Will Be the Scene of Quarterly Frolic Criven^Only for Teachers, WALTER BATES TO GIVE RECITAL PRI.

LAST DEBATE NEXT We have an opportunity to witness the last debate of the year in the auditorium this afternoon when the local girls team will meet the feminine arguers from the College of Puget Sound on the Child Labor question. Let's turn out 100% strong and help the team bring one more victory our way., HOW'RE YER GRADES? I t is time for the mid-quarter honor roll. There is only one way to escape from being on it and that is by doing some work—real hard toil. Come on,buck up and make the grade. Then you'll enjoy the ride down. JUST A TRIBUTE We pay another tribute to the Viking spirit that rallied so strongly to the cause of our Queen Florian in the recent Tulip contest. The call for action came and was heeded. One thousand loyal workers rallied to fight under the cunning direction of the Contest committee. Buttons were sold, forages into the smaller towns were made, dances and cake -sales were held, shoes shined, and dandelions were plucked—all for the sake Of placing a Normal school girl on the Tulip Town throne. v;Then came thes great day and another ^contestant won - by ^twenty-; five dollars worth of t V o t e s ; V ^ y r p ^ in the enemy i ^ m ^ ^ y i c t o r y 'was/ celeb^ted, |ibu$^£fo No one made alibi, no one wavered, for the Blue and White had given its all. Even though beaten in a glorious struggle the Blue and White had won a greater victory than was bargained for. The stain of a two years slump had been erased and greater prestige had been gained. The townfolk had taken a new interest in the welfare of this school and were greater boosters. A new fighting spirit and a higher love of school had been created. The Viking forces had learned how to fight unitedly for their causes. When next year's Tulip race is announced, an eager thousand loyal workers will rally again with the support of the townsfolk and will sweep on to the goal. —o- SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB. Article twelve of the editorial series will deal with the Social Science Club of this school. The paramount aim of this organization is to promote a greater interest in social studies. Membership is open to all students who have a genuine desire to take part in the work of the club. At the present time there are about forty names on the record books. Meetings are held twice a month which consist • of pro-grams and lectures by prominent men and leaders of industries. Some of the speakers for the last quarter were Mayor John A. Kellogg, Representative Charles Nolte, and J. J. Donovan who gt;dealt with governmental problems and gave illustrated lectures on travel in foreign lands. Pelagius Williams of the History department of this school is sponsor for the club. The following student officers are now active: Mary Ericksonj President; Edward Alff^ Vice President. Alice Theodorsen^ gecretaryr; ^SABOUT; RA^ Tuesday, April -27/ Dr. G. t^.;Qyer- •meyer of Ctiehalis spoke to the. stur dents on: gt; the life^ of I Ulysses S. Grant. Dr. Overmeyer in his talk spoke of many episodes in the civil as well as the military life of Grant, giving much of the history of the Civil War period. Li all, Dr. Oyermeyer's talk was very interesting. Other features of the assembly consisted of ah announcement concerning the spring supplement by Bryan Hankins, business manager of the "Messenger," and the singing of songs. '__—. _o .—. HARRY APPLETON GOES TO ALASKA Will Look Over the Newspaper Field and May Take Over and Edit Petersburg Herald. A recent issue of The Sitka (Alaska) Progress, carried the following item: CfHarry Appleton, a young man from Bellingham, Wash., where he has been engaged in newspaper work, was a passenger on the steamer Alameda yesterday, bound for Petersburg -to look over the field with the view of resuming publication of the Herald, which has suspended something like a month ago. Mr. Apple-ton is a young man of pleasing address and there is no doubt but that he will succeed with the ready cooperation of the residents of Petersburg which is invariably . given its paper, in re-establshing the paper and in making the success it has always been until within the past few months." Appleton is a former student of this school and was editor of the Messenger for five quarters. He has many friends who wish him well in his new undertaking. o Viking Skandal This weeks prize goes to Alice Cutts and Loraine Sharnbroich (the newly married couple at 715 High,) who have successfully suceeded Bill Mock and Anne Carter as official Borneo and Juliet. , We wish to announce in this column that "Sully," "Tim," "Library," "Tilden," "Wilson Creek," "Speed," Sullivan's first name is Bernard. "Dcty" Thordarson says that the dfiference between a woman and an umbrella is that there, are times when you can shut up an umbrella. * # » • Dale Annis wants a blanket to' keep his car warm while at Lake Padden.

Delighted by the easy victory of the track team earlier in the afternoon, the happy crowd became a cheering throng, when Johnny Kure, guardian of the short patch for the locals, grabbed a hot grounder and pegged to first for the final out. Yes, verily, it was a great day for the Nor-mal- by-the-Sea. BtUEMWHITE CINDER MENTAKE VIGTORTTFROM C.P.S. Bellingham Captures 11 First, 10 Second, and 4 Third to Win Over 0..P. S., 88-34. VIKINGr TENNIS MEN PLAY IRISH TODAY TATUM GOOD OT 440 RACE Hoggatt and Large, Viking Field Men, Tied for High Point Honors With 16 Each. . The Normal tennis team will cross racquets with the St* Martin's College net men today, on the lat-ter's courts. '• This will be the first match of the season for the Normal racquet wielders, although they have been practicing, steadily to improve their game. Litle is known of the prow-ress of the Si. Martin's boys, but as the Irish always have teams of recognized ability, there is little doubt but that the Viking net stars shall have a hard battle. The men making the trip will be: Gordon Broadbent, John FitzGerald.. Edgar Wheaton, Bernard Sullivan, and Ernest Keplinger. VIKING BASEBALL MEN TAKE GAME FROM ST. MARTIN'S Bunched Hits in Second Frame Gives Normalites Edge on Visitors; Final Score 8-5. All the boys got a chance to strut their stuff in the game with the Lacey crowd... Even "Nick Altrock" Bowler took a turn in the infield and got away big... Nick left his clown stunts on the bench for the time being. Don Patterson had his drop worklike a million dollars., Eleven of the enemy came to the plate, took three wild swings and meandered back to the bench, strike out victims. In addition to hurling in giltedge style, Don was able to gather three hits in the afternoon's performance. Some clouting for a pitcher, n'est-ce pas? : Keppy, at third, had a hard time finding the ball in the sun. Had the game been played earlier in the day, several St. Martin hits would have been easv outs. Zeke Katterle homed with a man ahead of him. Zeke galloped around the bases at a mile a minute gait. Nice going, Zeke. Joe Baxter had a tough day pegging to second, but "Old Faithful" more than made up for this by lacing out a clean triple at a time when a hit was needed most. Reed and Christman; of football and basketball fame, came up from Snoqualmie Falls., to., take in ..the game... Christman said that it wasn't only the game that brought Reed up to Bellingham. Did you see her, "Rudy"? Duteh Wilder, star of by gone days at the hill institution, announced the batters as they came to the plate. The crowd enjoyed this feature immensely, and it might be well to continue it at future games. FIVE MORE "W" MEN Five members of the Viking athletic force became-eligible, to admittance to the "W" club in last Saturday's performances. • Tom Large, former C. P. S. track star, heaved the discus and put the shot for more than enough points for entrance to the club. Bernard Sullivan sprinted in for a fine finish in the half mile to cop the necessary points for a sweater, while Bvatt won handily in the. high hurdles which will give him opportunity to be initiated into the "W" club. The batteries of the Viking horse-hide chasers, Patterson and Baxter, were the two men from the baseball team, to make their sweaters this season. W. A. A. BREAKFAST %U'dv ?n e W. A.

Anyone The Viking track team took a onesided dual meet from the College of Puget Sound squad Saturday afternoon when they run up a total of 88 j points, to 34 for the visitors. Bellingham succeeded in capturing eleven first, ten seconds, and four third places; while the boys from down" the sound had to be content with but two first, thrree second and nine third places. Tom Large and Carl Hoggatt divided the high point honors when each gathered in sixteen points. Large hooked his points by winning the shot put and discus, tieing for first in the pole vault, and high jumped even with Tatum of C. P. S., to get a tie'in that event for second place. Hoggatt laid claim to his points by winning first places in the high and broad jumps, the two-twenty low sticks and a third in the high ones. Tatum Is Star. Tatum and Fassett, of C. P. S. were the stars for their team. Both men won their events with apparent ease, Tatum taking the 440 in 53.3 seconds, and Fassett winning the mile in 4:44. The prettiest race of the day came in the half mile. While Hawkings, Viking half miler, and Weisel, C. P. S. man, were fighting for the lead, Sullivan, another Viking, sprinted down .the straightaway and nosed out Hawkings at the tape, the time being 2:06. Both Viking half milers have been out only a week, and it looks as though the Tri-Normal half mile record ,of 2:4%, hung up by Algyer of last year's team, is due for a fall, as both men will be able to do much better than that by the time the big meet rolls around. Although the weather conditions were perfect for the meet, there were very few students out to wit? ness the contests. '-.

PATTERSON DOES FINE Enthusiastic Crowd Watches Battle Between Vikings and Catholics 2nd Win of Tear. TENNIS PLAYERS APPROVING Broadbent and Keplinger to Compose No. 1 Doubles Team Against St. Martin's Today. Gordon Broadbent has displayed some pretty tennis this week, showing that he is rightfully ranked.No. 1 on the tennis team. Korsboen keeps in shape for the mile by running up Sehome Hill, from back of Edens Hall. Quite a serenader, but why .run?.. Ask Meryl Bird. Les Rhodes says, "I will win the singles in the all school tennis tournament. Bill Mock and I will take the doubles, and if I can find a good woman partner will easily capture the mixed doubles crown." "Speed" Annis, whose name appeared in this column last week at his own request, wishes to state that the Y. M. C. A. swimming tank should be made deeper. "No man can overcome his fear unless the water is over his head," says Speed. "Marcella" Hawkings, debonair Viking cinder artist, spends most of his time training in the library. Marcella has been very taken up of late with some snap shots he took in an endeavor to win the picture on display on the bulletin board. That's the old fight, Concrete! We recommend Joe Baxter; as a track man'. . His lady friend carries the stop watch and he is out every night. She claims he has been making some pretty fast time. Alibi George Abbey had little to say about his race Saturday, except that he said he wasn't as lucky as some track men we have seen, read, and heard about. His opponent wouldn't fall. down. The Viking Diamond trotters, under the tutorship of jDoach Harold Keeney, won their second consecutive game of the season last Saturday, when thy drubbed the St. Martin's College nine by an 8 to 5 score, before an enthusiastic crowd of baseball fans on Waldo Field. Five bunched hits meant four runs in the second stanza. Katterle's homer in the fourth with one man on accounted for" two additional runs. Two raps in the sixth brought in the other two runs for the Vikings. The Catholics scored one run in the fifth, three in the seventh, and one in the ninth innings. It was in the fateful second inning that the Vikings got their best work. Okerlund hit over short and scored on Baxter's triple to center field. Patterson singled to second base,_^ scoring Baxter. Patterson scored on iKeppy's two bagger. Keppy also scored when Katterle's infield grounder was muffed. Visitors Tighten Up. The Collegians first scored by two hits in the fifth. Two hits and two errors in the seventh sent two more across and another run.was garnered in the ninth. Patterson hurled a good game for the Vikings and filed his role at the bat in first class style by connecting with three singles. Zorkoski took the mound for the visitors in the fourth and from then on the game was more interesting. The line-up for Saturday's game was as follows: Vikings: Keplinger, ss; Katterle, If; Kure, 2b; Grannis, rf; Estill, cf; Okerlund, lb; Baxter, c; Patterson, P-With many matches played last week, the leaders in the-ladder tournament remain for the most part the same. The brand of tennis displayed this week far overshadowed the play of. last week. In the first match of the week, FitzGerald defeated Keplinger 6-3, 6-1. FitzGerald has a pretty drive, both back and forehand, of whicb he makes good use for_ many points. Gordon Broadbent successfully defended his No. 1 position against the challenge of Edgar Wheaton. The score 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, iully shows how closely the two men are matched. Wheaton has a terrific serve and only -the uncanny placements of Broadbent saved him from a defeat. Sullivan defeated Keplinger 6-1, 6-3, in a listless match, in which there was an absence of good tennis. Bond challenged Rhodes for sixth place, but was turned back by the steady playing and consistent service of Rhodes. The score 6-1, 6-4 is proof that the' match was no walk away. Keplinger was defeated by Wheaton 6-1, 6-4, both men displaying a nice driving game, especially in the final st. FitzGerald and Broadbent tangled for first place in the tournament, and turned in one of the classiest exhibitions of tennis that has been played on the courts this year. FitzGerald played a strong driving game against the driving and chopping of Broadbent. Broadbent finally won, after three gruelling sets, 3-6, 6-1, 10-8, in which experience was the deciding factor. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 April 30 - Page 4 ---------- PI Wj$ ^Students'; fiiitiate^ l£to Cbflegi^ Different (Eight stadentr were i^iated; into | n | ^ t J b l ^ ^ ^ : ^ ^ ^ : : - ^ ^ ? 0 ^ . i $ i , i h ^ l u m ^ ^ r e t t ^ i m g , ' MiHred^Pickji MertReffis, '»«* l ^ w i n ^ a ^ Mildred Grahe.

One slide showed a billboard used to advertise a RollingStones album. On it. a woman was standing with her legs apart and her knees bent. She was tied up, bruised and smiling. The caption read. "I'm 'Black and Blue' from the Rolling Stones and 1 love it."Another slide was a cover of Hustler magazine, in which the lower half of a woman's body was stickingup from a bloody meat grinder. The slide presentation,- assembled by the National Women AgainstViolence Against Women Association, was part..of the conference on ptarn^grd^hys-po-ristrred byseveral of Western's organizations last weekend. Throughout the conference, pornography was defined as material that is hostile and demeaning to women. It was distinguished from eroticism, defined asthe depiction of healthy sexuality. Sherry Jubilo. former member of the now-defunct Bellingham chapterof the group', moderated the presentation. Another slide showed an album cover from a group called New York City. It was a cartoon of four men chasing a woman whose hands were tied. The picture "turnsgang rape into a cute little joke," Jubilo said. IAMCF KIM.FR Nancy Uding instructs Margo end'spornography issues and Other slides showed depictions of women being cut Up, adolescent girls being-raped by older men and children being molested. After the show, the audience of about 20 women and 6men broke up into an all-men's and all-women's group to discuss their feelings about what they'd seen."It makes me sick to my stomach to think men really get turned on by that," one woman said.Anothersaid the slides made her Sanderson in effective self-defense techniques during last week-answers conference. feel like screaming. Saturday afternoon, several members of the Pornography EducationCenter led a panel discussion about the legal and political actions that can be taken againstpornography. Nancy Mullane talked about a civil-rights approach taken by two women in Minnesotaseveral years ago. They proposed an amendment to the city's existing civil-rights ordinance that would outlaw pornography. Pornography violated theircivil rights, they said, because it encouraged violenceand hostility toward women. The city council passed the amendment, but the mayor vetoed it. Mullanesaid changing laws is a long-term goal, but immediate changes can be made "by approaching it as aconsumer." Susan Given suggested people tell proprietors of local grocery stores they won't shop attheir store because it sells pornographic magazines. She also said they should let store managers andowners who don't carry the magazines know they appreciate it. She cited Albertson's, which hasstopped selling pornographic magazines within the past year, as an example of what consumer pressure can do. On Sunday morning, a film entitled "Killing Us Softly" told about the negative stereotypesadvertising perpetuates about women. Cambridge sociologist Jean Kil- Ibourne narrated and helpedproduce the film. People are not taught to take ' advertising seriously, yet it is one of the mostpowerful socializing effects in-our society, Killbourne said. Advertising shows women "almost entirely as sex objects or ' 'moronic, housewives pathologically obsessed with cleanliness," Killbourne said. She added that the media tells us the only acceptable standard of beauty is youth and absolute flaw-lessness, and our "lovability is contingent on achieving that standard." Other events at theconference, included a documentary film about pornography, a self-defense workshop and an analysis of pornographic videos. The conference was sponsored by Sisterstage, Women's Center, Men's Center, V.U. Gallery, A.S. Program Commission, Women-space, Fairhaven College, and the PornographyEducation Center. Careers Day opens the door to future jobs By Scott Friedrich Western studentslooking ahead to their futures caught a glimpse of what to expect at the Business Careers Day lastThursday. The event, jointly sponsored by the Career Planning Services and the Pacific NorthwestPersonnel Management Association (PNPMA), attracted many students. Student coordinator Jennifer Williams, sophomore communication major, said the "event had a bigger turn out than last year." Tina Brinson. coordinator for the Career Planning Services Programs, managed the whole affair. She saidattendance was up "at least by 100 students. We had between 500 and 600 students participate thisyear." Kelli Ambuehl, a representative for PNPMA, echoed Williams and Brinson, saying she had "talked with 50 students before lunch, and "I expect to talk to at least 50 more." Greg Gosada, president ofPNPMA, described the.event as useful and valuable to any student. "We're trying to give students thechance to spend some time with possible employers to get a foot in the door for future employment,"Gosda said. Scott Bailey, a senior Fairhaven student with a self-designed major in public relations,agreed with Gosda. "I'm meeting people in business and fields I'm interested in getting into. Perhaps I'llget a name and address for a future interview," he said. Bailey said the Ehrig and Hoffman LaRochecompanies were especially helpful. He found out what the companies were doing and "how a person likeme could fit into their company." Cathy A. Haverland, representative for the Pay-N-Save corpora-, tion, said her company had found many employees through past Career Days. "We've been recruiting since1981 through this event. It has provided us with top quality people for our internship and management programsâ€”better (people) than we could have gotten internally," Haverland said. Brinson describedwhat she JANICE KELLER Senior Fairhaven student Scott Bailey visits with Mike Shea, humanresources manager for Haggen's Foods, at Business Careers Day in the VU last Thursday. believedCareers Day offered students. "This event is to provide students with the opportunity to expand theirawareness of careers and business," Brinson said. Jody Whitaker, a freshman business/computerscience major, found the event "eye opening." "Prudential Insurance was very helpful. They told meabout their jobs and what they look for in an employee. Then they asked me how old I was. I told them .. . they told me to come back in five years," Whitaker said, laughing as she left. ---------- Western Front - 1984 November 20 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1984 Housing and Dining to review brew By HollyBlomberg A policy banning kegs in residence halls will be submitted to the Housing and DiningCommittee sometime winter quarter, Associate Director of University Residences Kay Rich saidWednesday.

The policywas not approved last year, Rich said, because the committee believed present rules were sufficient.Residence hall staff, however, has requested the policy be reintroduced.

She explained that many often-reported student accidentstraditionally have been alcohol-related. Vomiting, falling down stairs and depression are some of theusual results of excessive alcohol consumption, Rich said. Keg parties affect more than just theparticipants, she said. "Parties where kegs are usually draw a lot of people," she said. "Having the partymakes it hard for other people to sleep, study or visit with friends." Property damage is another concern. "When we have large gatherings around kegs, we have damage done to the buildings," she said.

Western's Vice President of Student Affairs Joan Sherwood said. Based on thatstatistic, Sherwood has made funding for pre-fall orientation at Western her No. 1 priority for the 1985-87 biennium. "I'm thinking of a series of one-day orientations for about 100 students at a time,"Sherwood said. "That way they get a little more attention (than Western's current orientation programoffers.)" Sherwood guessed about half of the freshmen would choose, to take part in the pre-fallorientation the first year. Those who do would be allowed to register at that time â€” ahead of transferstudents and freshmen who didn't attend. The main advantage is "students will get a better idea ofwhat Western is all about." The present orientation takes place three to four days before classes beginin a lecture hall full of freshmen and transfer students. ' â€¢ ' Pre-fall orientation would be â€¢ offered inaddition to regular orientation, but only to freshmen and their parents. They would come to campus,spend the night and begin orientation activities the next morning. Sherwood estimated the cost wouldbe about $25 per person. "'I want the parents to Know what goes on up here," Sherwood said. "I thinkthe orientation will help them to anticipate changes (in their children) and to realize it is normal."Sherwood hopes to model Western's pre-fall orientation after a successful orientation program at theUniversity of Oregon, a program considered by many as a model for the rest of the country. An'Orientation Committee currently is being assembled by Sherwood. The 20- to' 25- person task force isled by Connie Copeland and four or five committee members will be sent to the Oregon Campus for atraining session. Sherwood said she is a firm believer in pre-fall orientation because it allows studentsand parents to see the campus for themselves. She cited her experience at the University ofKansas as a favorable example. "In the late '60s and early 70s the university (Kansas) was held inpretty low regard; because of all the disturbances (on the campus) with the Vietnam war," Sherwoodrecalled. "But the new chancellor made summer orientation a big deal and all of a sudden our stature inthe state began to rise." Large collection of Frames, Clear Glass, Standard Lenses.

Eleven generations later, Laurence Brewster was born inSouth Dakota. Now 69 years old, Brewster is a professor emeritus of Western's Speech /Theaterdepartment. Brewster came to Western in 1948, when Western still was Western Washington School ofEducation. Except for two years, when he finished his doctorate in Iowa, Brewster has taught speech and theater classes at Western ever since. Brewster said although his years of teaching were fulfilling, hehad originally wanted to be an attorney. "When 1 was in high school 1 took a course in business lawand we did a mock trial, and. I was one of the lawyers in the mock trial. I guess that gave me the idea,"he reminisced. "If you scratch at speech professors, you'll usually find frustrated lawyers, actors, orpreachers. They all go together," he said, smiling. Brewster was born and reared in the little farmingcommunity of Woonsocket, population 1,200, in South Dakota. His father managed a grain elevator. After graduating from college, Brewster landed his first teaching job in a high school of 90 students innorthwestern Iowa. Because the school encompassed grades one through 12, he taught "practicallyeverything," including economics, government, English and sociology. When World War II arrivedBrewster moved to Sioux Falls, S.D. and taught radio operation in an Air Force technical training school.._._Â£__â€ž:â€¢_ After the war Brewster taught high-school courses in Oregon City, Ore. beforereturning to the Midwest to earn a master's degreeat the University ' of Iowa. Afterwards, he taught atWartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, where he was the "entire speech and theater department." 1.Brewster heard of Western from the president at Yangtoii College from 1926 to 1945, George Nash. Nash also was Western's president from 1914 to 1926, and Nash Hall is named in his honor. Brewster said he had "endured the storms in the Midwest long enough," and returned to Washington. In 1948 KVOS, now KGMI, and KPUG were the only radio stations in Bellinghamr Brewster said in effect, a telephone lineexisted from the third floor of Old Main to KVOS, which enabled him to do radio work for Western through KVOS. He directed "Newsweek in Review" for students in his class and he broadcast "Faculty Speaks," a program in which he interviewed faculty. "It was all done live, of course, which was a lot more fun," hesaid. Brewster was active in directing theater at Western in 1952. He helped develop the first stage setused in the present Performing Arts Center's first play, "Life with Father," a comedy based on the book by Clarence Day. â€¢ Although he relinquished his post in the theater department in 1957, Brewster saidhe has "sort of kept my finger in theater" by being active in theater productions.. He has played the part of Willy Loman in "Death of Salesman" twice â€” in 1962 and in 1972. He also has played Sancho in "Manfrom La Mancha," Big Daddy in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," Friar Lawrence in "Romeo and Juliet," and one ofthe fathp^" in "The Fantastiks." His last role was Erie Smith in "Hughie," by Eugene O'Neill. The 40-minute monologue is of Erie nostalgically reflecting on his friendship with Hughie, the-former hotel clerkwho died. "It was a very satisfying role to play," Brewster said. Brewster said he probably won't takeanymore roles. "It depends on whether or not the right thing comes along at the right time." In 1967,Brewster received the Teacher of the Year honor, then given by the Associated Students with $100attached. Only two faculty are given the award each year. But now administration gives the awards alongwith $1,000 "It's a little more lucrative now, yes," Brewster said, laughing. "If you scratch at speechprofessors, you'll usually find frustrated lawyers, actors or preachers. They all go together."Brewster retired four years ago but has kept busy. He and Margaret, his wife, are active in the American Cancer Society. Margaret Brewster was the state coordinator for the "Reach to Recovery" program for seven years. Sponsored by the ACS, the program helps women who have had mastectomies. This fall,Laurence Brewster became public information chairman for the local chapter of the ACS. In addition,the Brewsters attend the Seattle Repertory theater and Husky football games regularly. They.are active in the Congregational church, and Laurence Brewster works part time for Bellingham Travel Service,delivering tickets, filing brochures, and sponsoring and taking groups on trips abroad. He has taken twogroups to Great Britain and one to Europe. The day after his 70th birthday, Nov. 29, Brewster will leavefor a week-long trip to'Japan vHorig Kong, and Singapore, to inspect h6teis"for:future tours. \ lt; Lastyear, Brewster returned to his hometown of Woonsocket for the 50th anniversary of his high schoolgraduation; Of 29 graduates only about a dozen showed up, he said. "I wasn't too excited. Well, I hadn'tseen most of those individuals for 50 years, and after 50 years they're reallyjust strangers with familiarnames. As ' one person said, 'I don't like to go back to anniversaries and associate with all those oldpeople,'" Brewster said. ., ^ ^ I ' i ' J ^ 1 'tV=' \ Brewste^^fdjie ^ge^^^undersfaM.whysome professors'arereluctanttoferetire, claiming he's found his golden years "very satisfying."

The idea of Red Square and the pathwaysleading from it was born some time in the early 1960s when Western administrators drew up a masterplan, said Richard Francis, chairman of the Art Acquisition Committee, the custodial body of the artcollections on campus. At that time George Bartholick,a Northwest architect, was employed to do amaster sketch of an academic quadrangle for Red Square. Bartholick also designed Whatcom Museumand planned the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. ' In 1969 Miller, Bond, Humanitiesand Haggard halls were completed and a square was formed. "The choice to use bricks was primarily because the area wasswampy and grassy and it had moist soil," Francis said. "The area was also a very concentrated trafficarea." Stuart Hurdle, of grounds and maintenance, said, "Bricks are the best way to cover groundbecause cement cracks and asphalt is ugly." Red Square coffee vendor Dave Paterson said, "I like thebricks. I trip over them once in a while, but that is part of life." Laura Ackerman, a senior history major;said, "I've tripped oyer the loose bricks. There are dips in them where puddles form and you have to walkall the way around to avoid getting your feet wet." Ackerman said, "I've heard a lot of other peoplecomplain. I think it's really hard for a lot of handicapped people, too." Karen Friesen, a senior historymajor, said, "I really have problems with the bricks on the north side of the library," she said. "When thebricks are wet and the leaves lying on them are wet, it makes it slick. â€¢ "J think it would help if theywould remove the wet leaves. Someone with crutches hits those leaves and goes down," Friesen said.Jeana McLatchy, a freshman speech major, said, "In Red Square there is no drainage and it's like a bigpuddle." Judy Harlock, a senior history major, said, "I love the bricks. I think they are absolutely beautiful. They give Western its character." Associated Student President Majken Ryherd said, "I think that the '..bricks add a certain amount of aesthetic beauty to the campus." She said the bricks make Westernmore "collegiate looking. They seem to add a richer 5^ Firemen get fit at Western By Elisa ClaassenEvery afternoon several Bellingham firetrucks park around Western's track. A few minutes later firefighters spend their allotted one hour for physical fitness training by running. The one hour is part of a nationwidephysical fitness program encouraging the firefighters to run. exercise, swim or participate in any aerobicactivity. More than 15 firefighters from Station Two on the corner of 14th Street and Harris Street, andStation Three on Indian Street, run at Western because the university is in their first-engine responsedistrict. The firetrucks a re driven here so the men can respond to an emergency any time. Withinminutes the firefighters, clad in running shorts and others in sweats, can jump into their thick, rubber-lined yellow suits. The tennis shoes are replaced by rubber boots with steel plates in the bottom. Thefirefighter's fitness program started in 1978 under then-chief Gary Hedberg and assistant Mike Lee as part of a nationwide program. In 1977, 134 firefighters died on the job in the United States, BellinghamCapt. Dan Anderson said. Fifty percent of those deaths were stress-related maladies-heart attacks andstrokes. Today the heart attack statistics are higher, especially in the 48- to 50-year-old age range,Anderson said. The screening program is done after every six months of physical conditioning.Firefighters with health problems then are diagnosed and treated. Anderson described co-firefighter Capt.John Kunnap's experience as an "inspirational story." When Anderson joined the firefighters 10 yearsago, while finishing his Bachelor degree at Western, about 70 percent of the 90 member crew smoked;Kunnap was one of them. After one of his first big fires in which a $40,000 Bellingham home wasdestroyed, Andersonfollowed the.men.iOut of the clojuds of what he called "toxic fumes" and they satdown to rest and light-cigarettes. â€¢ see Firefighters, page 11 lt;â€¢*' *:~~ ---------- Western Front - 1984 November 20 - Page 5 ---------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1984 WESTERN FRONT 5 Baseball Hide your baseball cards or your mamay chuck'em By Ken Gibson Millions of mothers across America are guilty of a common' crime. Inmost cases, the act is perpetrated with benign naivete, but the results undoubtedly are disastrous.The scenario is usually the same. After being out of the nest for a few years, her son returns home.Sitting at the table enjoying a long-missed home-cooked meal, he asks, "Mom, do you rememberthat old box of baseball cards I used to have? Are they still around?" The response is usually the same. "Oh golly, I threw those out years ago." John Inge, a senior history major, was one of the luckyminority. By storing his baseball cards in a safe place he avoided the misfortune. Inge, who has beencollecting baseball cards for I Oof the last 15 years, said he has heard the sad tale many times. "Justabout everyone I've known, who collected baseball cards as a kid, has their own individual horror storyabout their mothers throwing' them out. Among collectors it is referred to as the 'Great AmericanTragedy."' The 24-year-old started collecting baseball cards in 1969 when he was nine. By the time he quit in 1975 he boasted more than 15,000 cards. He purchased most of the cards himself, but added to his collection when his brother and a few friends quit collecting and donated their cards to him. "When I finally decided I'd outgrown the hobby, I stored my cards in an old cabinet in the basement. Theywere out of the way there. The mistake most kids make is leaving them laying around in a box or a bag.where, their mothers have easy access to them," Inge said. "The only reason I saved the cards was Ithought they would be something to show my kids one day. 1 never thought I would start collecting them again." * ; Then in 1980. with his baseball cards still hidden in his parent's Bellingham basement, Ingewas thumbing through the latest issue of Sporting News when he came across an ad. It showed apicture of a 1910 Honus Wagner baseball card. The caption read: "Do you John Inge, a senior historymajor at Western, sits next to a portion of his 50,000 baseball card collection. EI.ISA CI.AASSEN knowthis baseball card is worth $15,000?" It was an advertisement for Baseball Hobby News. Inge bought asubscription. After receiving the first issue and flipping - through hundreds of baseball-card ads, he began to wonder about the value of the cards in the basement. Inge decided to advertise some of his cards inthe magazine to see if people actually would pay money for miniature cardboard likenesses of theirbaseball heros. People paid for Inge's cards and soon he found himself buying again. "It was a snowballeffect," he said. "Before I knew it I was collecting them again. I realized it wasn't just a kids hobby and a lot of adults were really serious about it." Inge has 50,000 card she claimed are valued at about$30,000. Baseball cards were created in the 1880s as an advertising gimmick to sell tobacco. TheAmerican Tobacco Company produced more cards than any other manufacturer before World War I. The war marked the end of baseball card inserts in tobacco packages. This was partially because themajority of collectors were non-tobacco-consuming youngsters. â€¢ see Baseball, page IINORTHWESTERN SCHOOL OF LAW of Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon.

El.ISA CI AASSrN Nearly 1,000 rowdy fans helped inspire theVikings to a 7-3 victory overthe Tacoma Blackhawks Friday at the Bakerview Ice Arena. The record-sizedcrowd also left behind record amount of garbage which had to be cleaned up by the team after the game.Rink officials said they hope future crowds will pack out what they pack in. "The officiating was brutal,"manager Chet Cory said. "It seemed to inspire our guys, we were behind. They had their backs, to thewall." Cory said Utendale had argued with the refs concerning the safety of his _ players. Dave Higginsreceived 25 stitches from last week's encounter with the Royals, but was feeling better this weekend.' "It was a rough, chippy game," Cory said. "Their penalties proved to be their downfall. It cost them thegame." The Royals spent 36 minutes of the third period in the penalty box. Western's Todd Thachuk and Dale Zelter made two goals in the final two minutes. The last came in the final 17 seconds. Severalplayers, who had to drive, got lost on their way to the 9:45 p.m. game in Port Moody, B.C. Western hadto play with about 10 players rather than the usual 15 to 16. Friday night at home, the Viking icemennotched a 7-3 win, upping their season record to 4-1-2. The win was cheered by an enthusiastic crowd of 800 to 1,000, mainly Western students. AI Perry and Thachuk each contributed two goals. John Herda,Dale Zelter and Higgins each had one goal. Coach Utendale did not think the Vikings and the BlackHawks were evenly matched. "We're a better team," he said. "They didn't have the spark or drive wehad. They normally don't play a contact game. We play a pretty physical game." PI.ISA CI.AASSFNWestern's Jack Clampitt (5) circles the net after a Viking goal. While (in the background) the wave circledthe arena. Utendale praised the efforts of captain Thachuk, who had two goals and one assist. GoalieBarry Schreifels had 25 saves credited to him out of the. 38 shots on goal. A shot on goal is any shottaken by the opposition with reasonable chance to score. The players and Utendale were positive aboutthe growing number of hockey fans. "It was an entertaining game," Utendale said. "I'm really excitedabout the number of fans. The players appreciate being a part of the Western scene and beingrecognized for it." "It's a happening. It's nice to see hockey catching on." Western player Ken Kennedysaid. A Tacoma player told him after the game the fans were a credit to Western's hockev club. Men'shoops shoot high with recruits By Kris Franich Graduation wasn't kind to men's basketball coach BillWestphal. Seven of the top eight players from last year's 14-11 team graduated, leaving behind a mere one starter to help rebuild the 1984-85 team. Last season. Western finished with one of the bestrecords in five years. The Vikings overcame-lack of height by perfecting a fast-break offense and setschool records with their excellent shooting. In 16 games, Western shot 50 percent or better from thefield. Three players earned National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District I all-star honors,including Todd Bailey, Bob Peters and John DeFranco. Peters set three school records, including fieldgoal accuracy in a season, in a career and made all 12 free throws in one game. Last season, theVikings placed sixth in the district standings with a 6-7 record, missing a playoff berth in the season'sfinal week. This season, Westphal will retain his fast-break offense and pressing defense. The Vikingshave more height this season, which may slow their game down. Westphal said, however, "We can gowith a smaller lineup to speed up our game. We'll have to find out what style we can win with in games." In the off-season, Westphal recruited seven community college transfers and two freshmenâ€” sevenof those nine recruits are 6'4". or taller. For the second year Westphal had to rebuild his team with 12new players and three returning from last year's squad. "Last season we had a new team, but I knew alot of them because they were reserves the year before," Westphal said. "So we came together quicklyand kept improving. "With this year's team, it's been a little slower and yet if the pieces come togethercorrectly, it should be a very good team and I hope a very exciting one." The lone returning starter,DeFranco, a 5 V guard, averaged 15.8 points a game , totaled III assists and made 85 steals lastseason, the second highest figure in Western's history. "DeFranco was the sparkplug of last year and he needs to be this year, too," Westphal said. "He's an energetic competitor that hates to lose. He hasan infectious enthusiasm that will carry over to the team and the fans. "He delighted the fans last year with his quickness and enthusiasm for the game," Westphal said. "And I believe it's well worth the price of admission just to watch him play, because a player with his ability doesn't come along too often."The two other returnees, forward Todd Miles and guard David Cooper, saw limited playing time lastseason, but should see more this year. Leading the transfers are 6'4" forward Tim Nicholas, whoaveraged 15.1 points and seven rebounds per game for Bellevue Community College. Brian Paul, a6'5" forward, also averaged 15.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game at Grays Harbor CommunityCollege. Guard Larry Tuell averaged 14.3 points pergame to help Skagit Valley Community Collegewin the state championship. Also from Skagit Valley is 6'5" forward Mike Marken, who averaged 14.8points pergame. "Marken provides instant offense. He can get very hot and throw in qujte a few quickpoints," Westphal said. Adding more height and muscle on the boards is junior Matt Valett, a 6'5". 205-pound center. He averaged 11 points and eight rebounds at Wenatchee Valley Community College.Helping on the boards will be 6'5" transfer Matt Mead from Green River Community College, 6'4" forwardStash Rowley from Yavapai Junior College in Arizona and freshman Garth Stroyan, who stands 6'6",from Oak Harbor High School. The other freshman, 6X)" guard Tim Dickerson, a local player fromBellingham High School, was a second All-State choice. "Dickerson is very quick, has a good feel forthe game and makes things happen when he's on the floor," Westphal said. "He's also shown the abilityto score more than I realized. And if it works out that we play him and DeFranco together, we would have even more quickness and scoring than we did last year at the guard positions." Completing the rosterare Western's tallest player. Drew Thurston, a 67" forward who sat-out last season, forward BrianLev was ineligible last year and guard Chris Ofelt redshirted at Concordia College in Oregon. "None ofus know what to expect," Miles said. "We may win all of our games or lose all of them. That's sort ofexciting. It should be a fun season." While the team begins to mesh its talents and personalitiestogether, Westphal said he believes they can finish in the top four in the league. ' DeFranco agreed. "Ithink we have a shot at the playoffs."

The Vikings lostto ' Southern Oregon State College 24- 13, but they also broke one school record and tied another.Freshman place kicker Jeff Gul-liford booted field goals of 19 and 40 yards to eclipse the single-seasonrecord of nine set by Jon Christie in 1978. Unfortunatelyfor ^ Western fans, Gulliford also missed twoattempts and had another blocked. The opportunistic Viking defense forced six Red Raider turnovers,including two interceptions that tied the school record of 27 thefts set in 1977. â€¢ The six totalturnovers, against the three given up by the Vikes, gave them a plus 18 take-away-ratio for the year. That ranks among the best in Northwest small-college football. Regardless of records, the loss is the bottom line. Western finished its season 2-7-1, with a league mark of 2-5-1. Not spectacular, but the best in five years. As was the pattern most of the year, the Viking defense played well, but the offense struggled.Western's running game, almost a token part of the offense .this year, only produced 31 yards on 32rushes. You needn't be a math major to grasp the significance of this stat. The formula describingWestern performances has been: as goes quarterback Dave Peterson, so goes the Viking offense.Peterson had the worst day of his Viking career, against SOSC. His 10 rushing attempts netted minustwo yards. But what really hurt his effort was the 41 passes he threw producing only 15 catches for 191yards and three interceptions. An atypical performance for probably the best quarterback Western has ever had. Western safety Tim Richard, who had one of the two Viking interceptions giving him a team-leading total of eight, said SOSC was well prepared for the Western passing game. "They scouted uswell," Richard said. "It's like they knew our play-book. They covered our receivers exceptionally well."The Vikings had the ball in Red Raider territory numerous times thanks to the turnovers the defenseproduced, but they couldn't con-sistantly put points on the board. Western did manage to break into theend zone one time. The touchdown came with 4:02 left in the game on a seven yard Mark Moran run.For Western, another season has ended. Now it's time for the coaches to review films and start therecruiting race for next year. The players will rest, heal and prepare for spring turnout where thedreams of championship bloom. Season ends abruptly By Tim Mahoney Western's women's soccerteam's quest for a national championship fell agonizingly short as the Vikings dropped the NA1ARegion I championship game to St. Mary's College lt; of Moraga, Calif. The fatal blow came in the 72nd minute when the Gaels' Sue Capo-ricci scored on a direct free kick past the Viking defense. Westernnearly caught up with a goal of its own in the last few moments. Senior Cindy Gordon sent a passwhistling just beyond the outstretched toes of senior Annette Duvall. Later, senior Paula French shotthe ball through the hands of the Gael goalieâ€”only to have it bounce off the post. Shortly after, thereferee's whistle sounded the end of Western's 16-2 season. "We put in everything we had," juniordefender Rosemarie Lamb said of the last few minutes. "We gave 101 percent." The day before. Western had stopped the University of Puget Sound 4-0, led by Gordon's two goals. St. Mary's now 9-9-3, beatPacific College of Oregon 2-1 to reach the regional final. Puget Sound beat Pacific 1-0 in overtime inSunday's consolation game. Pfueller finishes among America's 10 best By Ric Selene It's no fluke:Genevie Pfueller is for real. She proved it by placing ninth out of 257 of the nation's best at the NationalAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics Cross Country Championships in Kenosha, Wis.. Saturday.Coach Tony Bartlett said Pfueller's ninth place was the highest finish ever by a Viking. The bestprevious finish was around 20th. "She was the top freshman finisher." Bartlett said. "There was asophomore (in front of her), and the rest were juniors and seniors, so most of them had been over thecourse before. This was Genevie's first time on the course." Bartlett said Pfueller was always in the leadpack. "She was in good company and was really running well...she was in the top 12 all the way andshowed a lot of poise." Pfueller was undaunted bv the 34-degree wind y weather as she finished 18:07over the 5000-meter hilly, frozen course. Katy Sommers (17:36) of Wisconsin-Eau Claire finished firstand led her squad to the team title. Cindy Grant, the defending national champion from Simon FraserUniversity, led the District I runners with a third-place finish while running ill. The University of PugetSound led the District I teams with third place, followed by Pacific Lutheran University (fifth) and Simon Fraser (sixth). The new All-American was happy with her ninth place. "I was just trying to get into thetop 10," she said. Pfueller said she was ahead of Grant until about the last mile. Pfueller ran most of the race with Grant's teammate, Leslie Tomassen, whom she narrowly defeated at the districtchampionship. Tomassen (seventh) and an unidentified runner finished a second in front of her.Pfueller is an All-American. And Bartlett is excited about the future of his freshman phenom. "Herexperience will help her when she goes back," Bartlett said. "She will definitely be back." FairhavenBicycle Shop SINCE 1971 This Week's Special: Turkeys! Have a great Thanksgiving Break!

THEATER PREVIEW "A Servant of Two Masters," can be seen at 7:30 p.m. on thePerforming Arts Center Mainstage. Admission is $3 for students, $4 for adults and a special discountrate for groups of children. Faculty director Maureen O'Reilly said "The play is really suitable for children,I think it is something they would like." She added, "But it is just as entertaining for adults." The playis colorful. It's a celebration of youth and life. It's kind of like a circus, O'Reilly said. "The play is prettymuch strictly entertainment. It's a celebration about everything that is important about entertainment."O'Reilly said all the magic is exposed. The backgrounds are not masked with backdrops. The audience can see what is going on backstage as well as on stage. The major character, Truffaldino (Andy Pater-son), a servant to two masters, has only two loves: women and food. He takes on two masters so hecan get enough money to buy food. One of the masters, Beatrice (Megan Johnson) is a woman dressedas a man, to win the man of her dreams. The other master, Florindo (Seth McKenzie) is in love with thefirst master Beatrice. "A Servant of Two Masters," is a modern adaptation of an Italian comedy writtenin the 1750s by Carlo Goldoni. This production is a Canadian translation of the play. (il INS MARZANO Andy Paterson plays the lead role of Truffaldino and Patti Miles is Clarice in the comedy "A Servant ofTwo Masters." Soloists and ensembles play at 'Festival of Trumpets9 By Angela Dean - - " Resoundingtrumpets fill the Performing Arts Center Concert Hall to provide a concentrated dose of one instrument. '!Vet, the trumpet players will play different styles of trumpets in different key signatures to demonstrate the wide range of music a trumpet player can play. At 8 p.m. Nov. 27, eight junior and senior trumpetplayers will join together to perform solo , and ensemble music in a "Festival of Trumpets." WayneGorder, trumpet instructor and Orchestra and Wind Ensemble director, said a variety of music will beoffered. Three of the students performing solos are senior Stan Sakamoto playing a baroque sonata byCorelli on the piccolo trumpet; Bill Bagnall, also a senior. playing a French peice by Bozza; and seniorVince Green performing a sonata by the German composer Paul Hindemith. An ensemble for eighttrumpets by American composer Fisher Tull called "Segments" will be performed along with otherpieces. Gorder said he planned a similar concert last fall and thought it gave the younger students achance to see the talents of the junior and senior trumpet players, so he chose to do another concert this year. He worked with the students to decide what music would be played from their preferences andwhat pieces would help them to learn, he said. Two of the solo performers are music performancemajors, and Gorder said Bagnall is an education major with a concentration in music. Eventually allmusic majors have the chance to perform solo or with an ensemble, Gorder said. The concert is free.SCENES Today "Kamilla,"a Norwegian movie, will play tonight.

The play depicts three unhappy marriages. In each the husband isunsympathetic to his wife's pains and frustrations. And in each, the wife becomes increasinglyoutraged as she begins to realize how her husband and society in general view women. Jennifer(PatCarl) isa sarcastic, well-bred, middle-aged woman who is incredibly bored and acts' crazy just to havesomething to do. Her second husband (Blake Grinstein) contributes to her boredom. His favoritepasttime is watching kinky home videos. Jennifer's daughter Rowena (Stephani Lourie) is a socialworker who begins to examine for the first time the issue of pornography. The first time she looks at agirlie magazine, she is appalled. As the play progresses, she becomes more and more obsessed andangry about the subject. Her husband (Mike Mitchell) fancies himself a liberal intellectual and isannoyed at his wife's concern about what he considers harmless entertainment. The third woman,Yvonne (Carol Pederson), is a school teacher who becomes frustrated and depressed about her job. The boys bring pornographic magazines to school and make lewd comments in class. Theadministration passes it off as normal. One boy even rapes a girl and Yvonne is the only person whothinks he should be punished for it. Everyone else wants to examine his mother to find out what shedid wrong. All three marriages break up by the end of the play. Rowena goes to see the movie"Snuff,"in which a women isactu-ally knifed and sawed to death in front of the camera. While she iswalking home, a man approaches her. She pushes him away, accidently shoving him in front of anapproaching train. She does not feel guilty and the audience is never sure whether she regrets whathappened. She is sent to prison, we are not told for how long. Sisterstage is Bellingham's first feministtheater.

This quarter, 167students are being advised at a 16:1 student-to-supervisor ratio. During winter quarter, 188 studentsexpect to teach.. Covington said he fears a repeat of last winter quarter when the student-to-supervisorratio jumped to 20:1 because of a lack of funding and a large number of applicants. The ratio was toohigh, he said, and the supervisors became overloaded. The supervisors are faculty members who candevote only part of their time to student teachers. Allowing teachers at the sponsor schools to take onsome of the supervision would ease some of the strain, on those faculty members, Covington said. If the supervisor structure is not changed, the problem could worsen during spring quarter. Two-hundred-and-fifty students have applied for spring, Covington said. Some of those could be turned away, however,because of low grade-point averages or lack of prerequisites, he added. Student teaching is not required for graduation, but it is needed for teaching certification by the state. Many students, at both elementaTy and secondary teaching levels, will do. two teaching assignments before graduation. Thesupervisors^are expected to visit the students at least once every three weeks. The supervisors evaluateand critique the students' teaching. Student leaders discuss committee problems By Brian MalveyStudents participating on Western's governing committees got together Thursday to work on theirsmall-group skills at a workshop sponsored by the Associated I Students and the Office of StudentAffairs. â€¢â€¢'..'.; Students fill over 100 positions in Western's extensive network of committees,councils and commissions whose members include administrators, faculty, students, staff andalumni. . Almost 50 students, many of whom are members of more than one committee, attended theworkshop, which was followed by dinner with and speeches by Western President G. Robert Rossand Bellingham Mayor Tim Douglas, former dean of students at Western. : ' gt; The workshop on^'Student Participation in University Governance" was organized by AS Vice President for-Academic Affairs George Sidles with assistance from Connie Copeland of the Office of Student Affairs Sidles saidone purpose of the ' workshop was to foster solidarity and support among the many student volunteers who have no opportunity to meet as a group. *f-heyalso would-be able to identify â€¢ common problems they face as students on governing committees, he said. %. During an exercise in interpersonalcommunications led by Arthur Solomon of the communication department, students were asked toform groups of three and discuss problems they've had on committees. In one of the groups, studentDavid Gilmore spoke at length on a problem he faced two years ago on a committee with a particularfaculty member. Gilmore said the person had a chauvinistic attitude toward students, ignoring thernand refusing to take their ideas seriously. Gilmore said whenever he spoke before the council thefaculty member would gesture with rolling â€¢ eyes and tapping fingers. When all the groups of threerejoined, Gilmore retold his experience. He said he had not dealt with the problem at first and insteadwaited until it got to the "critical point," then confronted the faculty member after the meeting. â€¢ Afterthe meeting, Phil Wakefield, a student member of several-committees, said it would be a "grossgeneralization" that faculty are not open to student ideas. He said one thing a person learns throughinterpersonal communication is that they're dealing with another individual and not a category.Nevertheless, Wakefield said students should be open and assertive if their ideas are readily dis-.missed. He said they should ask why. Some students at the workshop said it was difficult to speak upat meetings because they felt intimidated. Many of those admitted these feelings were the result ofinsufficient experience with the issues being discussed. AS Secreta ry/Treasurer Yvonne Ward saidstudents on committees are at a disadvantage unless they can familiarize themselves with an issue.She said students who need information should start byasking thecommit-tee's chairman forpommittee minutes from the past year or so. Tim Baker, of the Planning Council, said backgroundinformation and an understanding of the issues involved is necessary. Sidles said students aren'talone. Many faculty members who are new to committees feel intimidated because of their inexperienceand don't fully participate. But students have the extra disadvantage of moving from a subordinatestudent-teacher relationship to a student-teacher peer relationship on governance committees, headded. Sidles said students should, with full confidence, approach the chairman for the information they heed. He also said students should not overlook the Associated Students as an information resource. Student participation in governance is important. Sidles said, because students can offer creativesolutions to oid problems. The attitudes of people who've dealt with a pa rticular issue for five or 10 years may narrow, he said, and all sides of an issue may not be considered. "Students offer a freshness," he said. , Sidles said a public, recognition of the contribution the students who volunteer to serve oncommittees was another reason for the workshop. That contribution was recognized by a dinner intheir honor.

I Ross, addressing the students, began by reminding them a system of committee participation for students did not always exist. "Students didn't have a systematic way to communicate theirfeelings," he said, "nor was there a systematic way for them to be asked." But, Ross said, 20 years ago a "great movement" to include students in the governance process began. He said one of the mainarguments made against student participation then was student interest in governance would fade."That interest has maintained itself," he added. . Ross said, committee participation is important, notonly as a symbol of the student body's role in Western's governance, but also because studentparticipation improves the quality of that governance. Ross finished by thanking the students for theircontributions. "I really wanted to say . . . you are important," he said. Douglas stressed the importancetheact of participating can have on students. He said participation can give students a sense ofthemselves and a sense of the impact they can have on the world around them. He told the studentsthat in terms of self-de velopment, they are the most important at Western. Also attending the dinnerwere Joan Sherwood, vice president for student affairs, Don Cole, vice president for business andfinancial affairs. Faculty Senate President June Ross and AS Adviser Jack Smith. Sidles said hewould work for similar workshops in the future. He said Western has tremendous intellectual resourcesto draw upon, and a need for developing skills existsjhrdughout the AS.

Asstudents depart tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving, it would be well for them to offer thanks that thegrowing senti-mentamong hawks in the nation's capitol to invade Nicaragua^ up to now, has been abated. It would be equally well for them to hope the moderate voice regarding U.S. policy toward that countryremains dominant. Journalists appearing on PBS' Washington Week in Review Friday reported fearsexpressed by some Washington, D.C., insiders that a Thanksgiving invasion was being considered byhard-liners in the Reagan administration. Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger, CIA Director WilliamCasey and U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick may have been among those; contemplating such amove. A Thanksgiving invasion, the reasoning goes, would delay an expected national uproar while muchof the countryâ€” including college studentsâ€”takes a four-day break. But a more moderate group, led by Secretary of State George Shultz and National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane, reportedly is holdingthe hard-liners at bay. Recent signs, however, point to plans for an invasion. Saturday, Weinberger said the recent importation by Nicaragua of Soviet military hardware was a likely sign that the CentralAmerican nation plans to attack its neighbors. By Weinberger's own logic, the massive build-up of U.S.military forces near the Nicaraguan border in Honduras must. be a step toward a U.S. invasion. In another weekend development, President Reagan rejected an offer by Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega to meetand discuss differences between the two governments. This callous . refusal to engage in a high-leveldialogue certainly is not a move toward conciliation. The Reagan administration thus appears to bereadying the American psyche for an invasion. Militarily, it is ready. We hope it can be dissuaded. Aswe give thanks Thursday, let us also hope that at this time next year we can remain thankful that youngAmericans and young Nicaraguans have been spared the horror of killing each other. Free to read pornThe suspension of the sale of Penthouse magazine in the Student Co-op Bookstore by the AssociatedStudents Board of Directors raises many issues, not the least is the difference between FirstAmendment rights and civil rights. A conference on pornography at Fairhaven College last weekenddiscussed the instituting of civil rights ordinances that would outlaw pornography. The argument by anti-pornography groups is that pornography violates women's civil rights. The first such ordinance, passed in Minnesota, was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. And this is for a good reason. Such anti-pornography groups, and the AS board to a certain degree, are often so caught up in what they feel isoffensive, they totally ignore the people's right to read what they want. One cannot defend or condonemovies and magazines that depict violence and illegal actions against women. But even moreimportantly, one cannot blindly throw out people's First Amendment rights and inflict their moral values onadults who have the freedom to read or watch anything they choose. The AS board must consider what is more important: The banning of materials it finds offensive or the protection of rights guaranteed to allAmericans under the U.S. Constitution.

By Kathy Abbott The Associated Students recent suspension of the. sale ofPenthouse magazine in the Student Co-op Book Store is an infringment on students' rights. Freedom ofchoice is a right people in-thc United States enjoy. The laws of our state regulate the sale of adultmaterial. The people of this state have found these laws to be satisfactory in regulating the distributionand sales of magazines such as Penthouse. Freedom of expression is guaranteed by the FirstAmendment* to the U.S. Constitution. Expression in the form of published materials is protected not.only , under the freedom of expression (speech) but also in the freedom of the press. Whether we agreewith what is expressed is not the issue. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas noted in 19.66 that"the advertisements of our best magazines are chock-full of thighs, ankles, calves, bosoms, eyes andhair to draw the potential buyers' attention to the lotions, tires, food, liquor, clothing, autos and eveninsurance policies." The point is that once you start censoring material, where do you draw the linebetween what is an acceptable and what is obscene? The U.S. Supreme Court has been dealing withthe issue of obscenity farlonger than the AS Board. If the court can not define obscenity clearly andagree as to . what forms of nudity or language can be regulated by law. why does the AS Board feel it'-has the wisdom to' censor publications sold on campus? It is the choice of individuals'as to whatthey.spend their money on'and how they spend theirtime. Noone is standing around saying "you will buythis and read it." The AS Board is supposed to represent the students of Western. It is not the purposeof the board to impose its ideas of morality on students as a whole. Obviously, some students wish tohave access to such materials orthe book store would not sell over hall of the copies ordered. â€¢ , : The board may find the sale of these maga/ines objectionable. But. it should keep in mind that other pointsof view do exist within the diverse student body of Western. Do those students on the AS Board find theaction of Madaline Murray O'Hare. who works for the cleansing of any trace of God from our governmentand airways (to the point of being ridiculous), offensive? Extremism in either direction takes awaypeoples' right to choose. LETTERS Less stable? Western Front: In response to Vaughn Bre-sheare's editorial "Reagan could repeat history," 1 would like to point out a few things he missed. Yes, it wasPresident Johnson that invaded Vietnam after promising peace. Yet it was Johnson who beat Sen.Gold water by claiming Goldwater to be a warmonger and by showing an ad on T.V. called the "DaisyAd."Thisad pictured a young girl picking a daisy and then a nuclear bomb exploding in thebackground. If you have never seen this ad, I'm sure you have seen a few different versions employedby Mondale this year. Children followed by nuclear explosions; to me the similarities are frightening.Do you actually think we would be better off with Mondale? Do you actually think we're less stable thanthe Carter years? Allen James Book banning Western Front: An open letter to the AS board: It'sencouraging to see the AS board join the most recent holy war against materials depicting women indegrading circumstances. Nevertheless, I view this as a half-hearted attempt. Even ASSecretary/Treasurer Yvonne Ward's suggestion that Playgirl and Playboy be banned doesn't go farenough. Why not push the premise to its logical conclusion and ban all literature offered in the bookstore which is degrading to women? After all, by banning only adult magazines you leave yourselves opento charges of snobbery and so, with that in mind, here's a partial list.(I'm sure you could find lots more)of offensive works found in our bookstore. The Bible is a good place to start. From the depictions of Eveand Delilah to the Whore of Babylon, this offensive book is full of misogynist rant. The entire works ofJonathan Swift and Friedrich Nietzsche are suspect with Swift's "The Lady's Dressing Room" (where thesubject matter is-described in 'he most unsavory tejms)and Nietzche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"(wherethe inferiority of women is taken for granted) deserving of special opprobrium. For the modern, up-to-datecensor, there's John Updike's "Rabbit, Run." Janice Angstrom is depicted as a pathetic creaturetying Rabbit down to a world of drudgery. The Mickey Mouse Club is the "dumb mutt's" (Rabbit'swords) favorite television show and, in a d runken stupor, she drowns their baby in the bathtub. In fact, Ithink we can push this a bit further and ban all those works which suggest that fellowship among menwithout women is a good thing, since the implied correlative is that life with women is restrictive andmiserable. This list is rather large, but here's a few: "Moby Dick." "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."Robinson Crusoe."Cannery Row"and Fen-imore Cooper's Leatherstocking novels. As you can see. the defamation and degradation of women is a major theme in world literature. Therefore, to concentratesolely on magazines is not only elitist, but in the long run ineffective, since our hallowed literary canon is infested with misogyny. Even though no scientific evidence has been offered suggesting a direct linkbetween pornography and violence against women, this is no time for our heads to overrule our hearts.And even though you may be accused by some of holding a holier-than-thou attitude, I congratulateyou for your moral courage ana urge you to continue in the venerable tradition of upholding moraldecency through censorship.

The company continued card production until World War II, when itwas forced out of business because of paper and rubber shortages. A decade later Bowman Gumresurrected the baseball card. Today baseball card collecting is the third most popular hobby in theUnited States, behind coin and stamp collecting, according to "Turning Cardboard Into Gold" by TomMcKernan. The "Sport Americana Baseball Price Guide," by James Beckett and Dennis Eckes,contains more than 175,000 prices for baseball cards. The current price guide lists the value of a 1952Topps Mickey Mantle card, in mint condition, at SI,250. The set of 1952 Topps cards, in mint condition,is listed at $7,500. The three main companies producing baseball cards today are Topps, Donrussand Fleer. The market price is $19 for the complete set of 1983 Topps cards and $14.50 for each setof Donruss and Fleer cards. "The rookie cards are usually the most valuable, especially if the playerbecomes a superstar," Inge said. Inge has two 1967 rookie Tom Seaver cards, in mint condition, valuedeach at $100. "If you keep up on baseball and know what's going on in the minor leagues, you'll have abetter idea of what players will be good.when they reach the major leagues," Inge said. A few yearsago, Inge invested in a large number of cards of Alan Trammell, Lou Whitakerand Dan Petryâ€”all formerrookies for the Detroit Tigers. With the Tigers winning the World Series in October each player hasgained notoriety. About four years ago Inge was in a bookstore in Puyallup and found a large box of oldbaseball cards, which sold for 2 cents each. He sorted through the box and purchased 350 cards.Included were 15 Pete Rose (1977) cards, currently worth about $8 apiece. Inge estimates the 350 cards will be worth about $ 1,000 within the next decade, and he paid a mere $7 for the lot. "It's a greatinvestment. Baseball cards always manage to stay ahead of the inflationary rate." Inge, a former all-state third baseman at Big Bend Community College and the official announcer at Bellingham Mariner gamesfor two years, said anyone who wants to be a collector should be a sports fan first. Inges has advice fornovice collectors: if spending hard-to-come-by quarters on baseball cards, be sure to keep themhidden from your mom. Eyewear!

Firefighters get 'physical' on track â€¢ Firefighters, from page 5 Anderson was shocked thefirefighters were smoking. It was a hot summery dayand one man already had been sent to thehospital because of the fumes. Kunnap, who had been overweight, lost 30 pounds and later quit hissmoking after he could curb his appetite. He started running around the fire station to lose weight,figuring 16 laps were equal to a mile. After losing lap count Kunnap starting carrying decks of cardstocount by. Then the deck of cards became two decks of cards. "I looked ridiculous trying to carry allthose cards," he said. After running for a time, Kunnap was asked to quit â€” "He was ruining thelawn" having worked a rut circling the hall. After the program started, all the firefighters were required torun. As a result, minor injuries occurred and today the running is voluntary. Any aerobic exercise may be done including swimming and riding the stationary bikes in the fire hall. When the program started,several fire personnel voiced uncertainty as to whether the firefighters respond as quickly to aidcalls. Kunnap feels otherwise. "More times than not have favored our position (at the track)." Once theyresponded to an aid call by running across the field, another time a student had a heart attack and theywere there to give immediate attention. Last year Margaret Paquin, a Western graduate student, worked with Robert Moffat of the physical education department in evaluating the firefighter's physicalconditioning. The Harvard Step (in which the men rapidly climb up and down stairs), sit-ups, treadmill, push-ups, skin-fold tests and the more accurate underwater weighing were done with checks on the active and resting blood pressure and pulses. , "Peoples' lives depend on their (firefighters) ability toperform."

Thisimaginative technique may help to demonstrate the black experience, which often is denied in Americanculture, said Saundra Taylor, director of Western's counseling center, at Fairhaven's third curriculumintegration seminar Thursday night. Taylor said blacks experience a "double consciousness," becauseit's difficult to integrate American and black values. Taylor said, for example, that her West Africanheritage stresses a collective outlook. West African values include sharing, obedience to authority,spiritual beliefs and a respect for the elderly and the past, she said. European values of individualism,autonomy, progress, youth, achievement and a future orientation create conflict when combinedSAUNDRA TAYLOR with her West African values, Taylor said. Part of this double consciousnesspossessed by blacks is racism, which emphasizes the sense of being a helpless victim, Taylor said.Racism can result in a toughness of character, suppression of feelings and a focus on the presenttime. A belief in luck reflects the feeling of not being in control, Taylor said. "Blacks are complex dueto different combinations of these values," Taylor said. Taylor said that despite the obvious lack ofblack students at Western, incorporating race into the curriculum is important so the majority knowsabout other cultures and how they are reflected in different values. "It seems like an irony to have acollege of ethnic studies in Bel-lingham, since part of its purpose is to reach out to the community,"Taylor said. Blacks often leave because they see Bellingham as sterile and isolated, she said. Shesaid she goes to Boston to get in touch with black culture because it's so difficult to find here.

She asked if having a college of ethnic studies and a women's studies program at Western made them separate, but e^ual. She said a single lecture or book on ethnicminorities in classes creates the perception by students that it is an afterthought, a token. In classes inWestern's psychology department, for example, no attempt is made to integrate all perspectives into the courses. Michael Burnett, who will teach Fairhaven's Cross-Cultural Perspectives class with LeslieConton, said different perspectives are important for their ability to enrich our lives, and shouldn't beincorporated into the curriculum due to a feeling of obligation or guilt. He said since their class is aperspectives class, it seemed easier than others to integrate women and minorities. Burnett said whenyou realize what you've assumed isn't necessarily so, the shock can be liberating. A goal of theirclass is to broaden the range of human possibilities by looking at the diversity of the world, he said.Anothergoal is to recognize that traveling is often narrowing, not broadening, because people tend toclose down when confronted with differences. To avoid being overwhelmed, he said we have to trainourselves to see differently. Burnett said a final goal of the class'is to get a perspective on our own livesand culture. Conton said they decided to focus on non-Western, non-industrial societies to provide aclear example that will bring the students out of their cultural biases and stereotypes. She said they willlook at specific case studies of a Middle Eastern culture, an Indian culture and male/female relationships in New Guinea. These theoretical models will provide three different ways of looking at sex roles. Theclass will move from a descriptive to a more analytical focus. The students will analyze the literature and judge the success of the anthropologists, Conton said. They decided to focus on the. economicframework of cultures, since it more closely relates to sex roles, she said. Conton said cultural changewill be introduced so the students know the cultures aren't static. Fairhaven's last curriculum integration seminar this quarter is at 7 p.m. Thursday. Nov. 29 at Fairhaven. Meredith Cary. of Western's Englishdepartment, will speak about women and literature. The toughest job you 11 ever love We admit it. Ittakes a different kind of person to be a Peace Corps Volunteer. We won't mislead you with glowingpictures of exotic lands. The hours as a volunteer are long. The pay is modest. And the frustrationssometimes seem overwhelming. But the satisfaction and rewards are immense. You'll beimmersed in a new culture, become fluent in a new language, and learn far more about the third worldâ€” and yourself â€” than you ever expected. You'll also discover that progress brought about by PeaceCorps volunteers is visible and measurable: Such as health clinics established in the Philippines;Fresh-water fish ponds constructed in Kenya; roads and schools and irrigation systems built inUpper Volta; tens of thousands of people given essential skills in farming, nutrition, the skilled trades, business, forestry, and other specialties throughout the developing world. Being a volunteer isn't foreveryone, and it isn't easy, but to the people of the developing nations who have never before had basichealth care or enough to eat, the Peace Corps brings a message of hope and change. We invite you tolook into the volunteer opportunities beginning in the next 3- 12 months in Africa, Asia, Latin Americaand the Pacific. Our representatives will be pleased to provide you with details. PEACE CORPSContact: John Rhinehardt, Campus Recruiter Career Planning Placement Old Main 280 676-3017PPPPP

Associated Students Director-at- large for Communications Paul Clark said theballoons are needed to "grab eyes"and attract people to attend the ODen house, planned for April 15.AS board members decided to allot a total of $295 for the event. Other costs include $65 for helium, $46 for 2,500 "Astro-bright spectrum posters"and $54 for advertising and set-up costs. "That seems a littlebit extravagant to me," said AS President Jeff Doyle, refering to the cost of balloon advertising. "I'mwondering if we're not getting to a (advertising) saturation point." Defending the plan, Vice President for Activities Terry Echel-barger said, "I think this is a unique idea, and I think it's worth a try." Clarkestimated at least 20 AS clubs and organizations have indicated they will participate in the event, whichis aimed at informing Western's faculty, staff and administration about AS activities. The proposalpassed unanimously. Board members also were told Housing and Dining Committee officialsabandoned attempts to place $85,000 in a repair and replacement reserve fund. Director-at-large forUniversity Residences Sheryl Mullen said the cost of living in dorms next year will not inflate as much as predicted because the reserve fund deposit was abandoned. In other AS business: Board membersapproved spending $136 to send the AS secretary to an April 15 secretarial seminar in Seattle. Clarktold AS members of communications task force hopes eventually to buy a laser printer, at an expectedcost of $5,000. Land donation had hidden costs By Mary Barouh staff reporter The WesternFoundation rarely ignores a gift horse, accepting$l million in donations last year. However, when a giftposes more of a liability than an asset, the stable door is shut. Last summer, a parcel of recreationproperty the donor said was valued at $25,000, was refused by the foundation, Jea-nene DeLille,executive director of development for the Western Foundation, said. Before gifts of real estate areaccepted, researc.ru is, done to ensure liens against the property will not hamper a future sale, shesaid. The parcel of land was undeveloped and is located by the Alderwood Country Club on theOlympic Penninsula. When the development company was contacted, it was discovered the donorhad lease-hold rights and not the full ownership she thought she possessed. With water assessments,membership fees and taxes, "It would have cost $150 a month to hold" the property until it sold, DeLillesaid. A lease usually extends 99 years, and, while it was a marketable item, the development placedthe. value realistically at $8,500. In addition, a depressed real estate market was a factor in no saleshaving been reported at the recreational development in two years. "If we had to hold the lot five years,we would have lost all of the equity," DeLille said. As the foundation is in the business of drumming up gifts, it was a delicate matter returning something. "In this instance, the donor was veryunderstanding, but the potential for it being cordial was very slim," she said. To avoid pushing anothergift horse out the barn door, a donation of __ 35 cabinets was not turned back. Director of UniversityResidences Keith Guy negotiated a donation of cabinets from a local contractor, DeLille explained.The cabinets arrived without covers and Guy was unable to use them. Before gifts of equipment areaccepted, department heads are consulted. The education and technology departments werecontacted and, with a little modification, the cabinets were put to use as storage modules. Forequipment donations the university is unable to use, a national bartering system offers exchangesbetween universities. This eliminates repeating an experience that occured in the technologydepartment. A huge piece of equipment coudn't be used because it was too costly to operate, and itbecame a dust-collecting obstruction in the workshop. When gifts are given through the foundation,bartering and sale is possible, whatever will benefit the university most. If donations are given directly tothe university or are state property, they have to be declared surplus before conversion. Sometimesplacing a monetary value on gifts can be difficult. The foundation recently accepted a set of rarebooks on the writings of Thomas Jefferson â€¢ See GIFTS, p. 2 Autopsy reveals blood-alcohol level was.20 By J. Thomas Bauer and David Wasson staff reporters Michael Samuel Kushins had a blood-alcohol content twice the level considered legally drunk when he fell to his death from a fourth-floorbalcony. An autopsy conducted on the visiting 20-year-old from Woodinville, revealed a blood-alcoholcontent of .20, said Dr. Robert Rood, the physician who performed the examination. Kushins died ofinjuries he received when he hit a brick patio below the balcony. Those injuries included a fractured skull,brain damage, a ruptured aorta and a ruptured liver, authorities said. Kushins' body was discoveredSaturday shortly after 7 a.m. by a Fairhaven resident leaving for work. Kushins apparently fell from afourth-floor balcony early that morning. He was last seen alive sleeping on the balcony at about 3 a.m.Kushins, originally of Santa Rosa, Calif., had traveled to Western Friday night with three of his friends tovisit their friend, Fairhaven resident Jeffrey Pedersen. They had planned to spend the night in Bellingham and possibly travel to Canada later that weekend. During an interview Wednesday night, Pedersen saidKushins and the three friends arrived at Fairhaven about 11 p.m. Kushins apparently had been drinkingalcohol before reaching the apartment, Pedersen said. Pedersen said his four Seattle-area friends, two of his roommates and he drank beer and mixed drinks in his apartment. A few other people from the dormcame to Pedersen's room, he said, but he stressed it could not have been considered a "party." No more than about 10 people were in the room, he said. Sometime after midnight Kushins walked onto thebalcony because he wasn't "feeling well," Pedersen said. Shortly after 2 a.m. everyone in the apartmentstarted going to sleep, he said. At about 3 a.m., Pedersen said he walked into the living room and sawKushins asleep on the balcony. Everybody in the living room was asleep, he said. He went out onto thebalcony and tried waking Kushins. But Kushins indicated he wanted to stay on the balcony rather thango inside the apartment, Pedersen said. It was warm outside that night, Peder-s Â«n remembered, andsaid he thought Kushins would just "sleep it off." Pedersen went back to his bedroom and went tosleep. Sometime between then and 4 a.m. Kushins fell to his death. A student walking throughFairhaven at 4 a.m. later told police he had seen a body on the ground, but he thought it was justsomeone "passed out." Additionally, a female student living in a lower room reported she heard a muffled thud about that time but said she did not see Kushins' body. No one knows how Kushins fell. Butresidents of the apartment Kushins was visiting speculated he may have been sitting on a railing andhad fallen off. Kushins' body was found on a brick patio directly below the right side of the balcony.The railings of the balcony are about three feet high. Pedersen said he and his roommates were unaware of the tragedy until police knocked on their door later that morning. Pedersen and his roommates arecriti- â€¢ See KUSHINS, p. 2 ---------- Western Front - 1986 March 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1986 Liabilities limit donations Friends criticize police â€¢GIFTS, from p. 1 for Wilson Library. The foundation has no intention of selling the books and the donor did not place a monetary value on them, but if the donor of this or any item wants to take a taxdeduction for gifts, a value has to be calculated. The foundation does not involve itself in valuations,DeLille said. "It's between the donor and the IRS." If the donor specifies a value, the foundation issues agift receipt for the amount. With the new tax laws, a donation of personal property valued at more than $5,000, and which will be sold by the university within two years, has to be valued by a certifiedappraiser, DeLille said. For lesser values, the foundation recommends donors use original invoices, acatalogue or a comparative item to reach a figure. Depending on the amount given andithe total numberof charitable donations, federal income-tax laws place a limit (50 percent of adjusted gross income forcash gifts, 30 percent for gifts of capital-gain property) on the amount deductible in one year. If thededuction is too large for the donor to take in one year, it can be amortized over five years, DeLille said.Donations to the Western Foundation support award programs, special events and scholarships. â€¢KUSHINS, from p. 1 cal of the way police treated them at the scene. Petersen said he felt intimidated by the officers. While University Police were present, Bellingham Police were conducting the majority ofthe questioning and the search of the apartment, Pedersen said. "When we asked them how long theywere going to be here, the guy (a Bellingham police officer) said, Til be here as long as I want,'"Pedersen said. Pedersen and another roommate also complained that the way they had been takenaway for questioning may have looked incriminating to observers in the area. Some of those questionedwaited for up to 15 minutes in a police car parked in the Fair-haven courtyard while Kushins' body stillwas lying on the ground. "Some (of the officers) were real rude; others were all right," Pedersen said.The following are taken from the University Police incident log. *A parking permit was stolen from avehicle in the lot near the Art/Tech building, 6 p.m., Feb. 26.

The latest draft of the 1986-87 housing and dining budget now includes apossible 7.2 percent rate increase, reduced from the 8.7 percent increase presented two weeks ago.Reallocation of revenue, fewer program enhancements and more exact figures of budget items causedthe reduction, Director of University Residences Keith Guy told the Committee on Housing andDining Tuesday. "There's no change in direction from the first draft," Guy said. "We just did some fine tuning." The largest budget revision was removing the $85,000 deposit planned for the repair andreplacement reserve fund. Extra summer revenueâ€”about $131,100- generated by the conferencecenter because of Expo '86 in Vancouver, B.C. will go to the reserve fund, Guy said. Room andboard rates will increase between 4.1 and 7.2 percent for next year. With a 7.2 percent increase, adouble room, 21-meal per week annual housing contract would cost $2,507. The current cost is$2,339. "1 would like (the room and board rates) to be under $2,500," Guy said. Further clarification and drafts of the budget will continue primarily in two areas, he said. First are the expected salaryincreases from comparable worth legislation and a 2.5- to 3-percent raise for all state employees inSeptember. Secondly, Guy said he will get residents' opinions about the anticipated extra staff forweekend cleaning. Depending on the response, the proposed six custodial positions may be addedon a phase-in basis, he said. Services and Activities fees also were discussed by the housing anddining committee. Bond resolutions and Viking Union operating expenses are paid with housing anddining's portion of the S A fees collected from student tuition. Guy said he didn't plan to ask formore S A money this year because no area of the budget would be affected directly. But, he toldcommittee members, "it's not too late" for requests. Members said they will gather recommendations,requests and comments from their constituents for next week's meeting. If the Viking Union isremodeled, Guy said, "that would be the time to ask" for additional S A funds. Senate hopefulBrock Adams said he'd rather spend $600 for a student's education, rather than a Pentagon toilet seat,during an informal meeting with about 40 Western students Wednesday. Adams said he will officiallyannounce his candidacy for Slade Gorton's Senate seat, which is up for electon in November.

AMERICAN CANCERSOCIETYÂ® A campus fund-raiser called "Party for a Good Cause" tapped the attention of at least oneWestern administrator earlier this week who was concerned the p a r t y would become uncontrollable.Vice President for Student Affairs Joan Sherwood said headlines appearing above a page 12 Front article last week led her to believe Thursday night's event would be a "beer brawl." Earlier this week,Sherwood threatened to revoke the fundraiser's liquor permit, force organizers to hire security policeor set a drink limit. But after meeting with the fiesta's organizers Tuesday, Sherwood said sheconcluded the event would be conducted responsibly. "Chugging for Chapultapec University" and thephrase "beer blast" were used in the headlines of last Friday's Front article. The story announced a fund-raising event that planned to serve beer and nachos to students while they listened to a guest speaker.Profits from the event would be used to buy computer floppy disks for earthquake-crumbled ChapultapecUniversity in Mexico City. The event was sponsored by students in an organizational developmentclass here. Other groups plan to send a computer package to the university. Last Friday, organizerssaid students could get all the beer they could drink for $3. "We'll start with two kegs and see how itgoes from there," one of the organizers said last week. But after Tuesday's meeting with Sherwood, thestudents agreed to tap no more than two beer kegs. Organizer Frank Corey said during an interviewTuesday he was told by other campus activity organizers that without a good speaker and beer,student support would be minimal. The intent of the title, "Party for a Good Cause," was to gain theattention of students, not to promote a kegger, Corey said. "We just wanted to get people interested,listen to a good speaker and have a relaxing evening," he said. Corey and Maria Starovas-nick, eventorganizers, told Sherwood the social would be controlled by three students, one who has experience asa bouncer. Starovasnick also assured Sherwood only two kegs would be used. The studentsexplained the campus police didn't have extra men to watch the party and the Bellingham police chargeabout $20 an hour. Hiring a police officer for four hours would damage their profit. Starovasnick said.Although Sherwood said using liquor to help gain student participation is a fallacy, she said she wassatisfied the group had good intentions. "This is a responsible group," Sherwood said. "I had receivedthe guarantees that 1 needed," she said. Sherwood didn't impose restrictions on the fund-raising event.Corey said he was relieved at the decision. "We learned a lot about organizational development andthe problems that occur," he said. "We had good intentions but the press can really damage someonewith little effort at all." Western staffer wins Jefferson Award By Elizabeth Parker staff reporter MaryRobinson, associate vice president for Human Resources at Western, has won a Jefferson Award fromthe Seattle Post- Intelligencer and the American Insitute of Public Services. Her credibility in theBellingham community and strong leadership helped the Whatcom County United Way through atroubled period last year. Jack Doughty, retired executive editor of the P-I and one of the six judges,said. Robinson and six other Washington state residents received the award for their outstandingvolunteer community service work. The winners were among 189 people nominated from 54 cities andtowns from around the state, according to the P-I. P-I readers made the nominations. Robinson came to Western in 1969 as the dean of women. She has since been involved in the YWCA and many othervolunteer organizations in Bellingham. Robinson said while the award was as surprise, the honorreflects on the United Way volunteers as well. She commented students have helped in the UnitedWay, and she said she feels volunteering in programs like the United Way is good training for students.Robinson was nominated by United Way communications chair Ellen Vaughn and current presidentJohn Daughters. "(Mary) probably put in hundreds and hundreds of hours. It was well beyond the call ofduty. The community has long benefited from her," Vaughn said. Robinson was honored Wednesdayat Seattle's Four Seasons Hotel where she received a medallion.

But that doesn't mean wedon't recognize when congratulations are due. The Western women's basketball team deservescongratulations. In a season marked by highs and lows the team has earned our respect. Januarybrought coach Lynda Goodrich her 300th career victory in 15 seasons at Western when the Vikingsdefeated the Gonzaga University Bulldogs. The victory was sweetened the following night when Westerntook the lead in the NAIA District I standings. Two weeks later the Vikings' 39-home-game winning streak was snapped by Simon Fraser University. The winning streak was the longest of any team in the league. Ironically, SFU ended its seven-year losing streak against Western that night. February 16 Goodrich was named Sports Personality of the - Year. She credited her players for her success, but her players werewinning honors of their own. Seniors Carmen Dolfo, Kris Keltner and Anne Cooper were named to theCoaches All-District Team. Dolfo was chosen Co-Player of the Year and is second in the league inscoring. Keltner leads the league in free throws. Cooper has the second highest number of blocked shots and senior guard Shelly Bruns ranks second in steals. We applaud the efforts of Goodrich and herteam.In the past we have been criticized for not giving enough attention to the Vikings in their pursuit of thedistrict championship and the national title, but we must admit our pride in what they have accomplishedthis season. Congratulations. Take us out to the drugsâ€”uh ballpark With the heavy, and just, finesthat baseball commissioner Peter Ubberoth has levied on seven baseball players for their drug use, andthe calls for widespread drug testing of ballplayers, it is obvious baseball is no longer the old-fashioned, ail-American sport it once was. It's a big business supporting habits for both the players and the owners. And we're not talking about chewing tobacco.. So, to throw out the first spitball of the season, here is an updated version of that seventh-inning stretch favorite.

Not Belushi. "But nooooooo!" It was true, and themedia immediately sunk their fangs into Belushi's corpse and tore it to shreds. The media vultures hadtheir feast and fun-especially big-bucks, journalism guru Bob Woodward. Woodward, who a decadeearlier was gaining fame for his efforts of unraveling Watergate, had succumbed to write a trashy book Aware or notâ€” called "Wired." The book was supposedly about the fast and furious times of JohnBelushi. We say it's fiction. Dan Aykroyd said the book was bullshit, too. This saddens us. Everytimea famous personality perishes, the media dredges down in the sewers to dig up some swill to print.This excrement is used to paint a disgusting picture of the former personality. When Marilyn Monroedied all the media said was she died in the nude. When Elvis Presley died, he was revealed later as apill-popping maniac. And so on. A major point is missing. These people, regardless of their personalquirks and flaws, offered and donated their talents to the public. As far as we're concerned, what theydid in their spare time was their own businessâ€”even if it is good'read-ing. What should be remembered is the warm moments they have brought into our lives. John Belushi was such a ner- Dullwood |l|^ps||I|| son. We love him for the laughter he gave us. We love him because he was human. Yes, humans dohave flaws. We're not saying Belushi was a saint; he was far from being one. He was gifted, and heshared his gift. And this is how we remember Belushi. The media says he died of an overdose of heroinand cocaine. Technically true. But what really happened was Belushi was murdered by the media.They created him, building a huge image, making his life unreal, and then they destroyed him. It wastheir needle and poison that killed Belushi. Rape does affect everybody Nine of the female friends I'veknown through the years have been victims of incest, molestation, attempted rape or rape. Only onereported it. That friend, a 16-year-old incest victim, had the courage to incriminate her own father in front of family, friends and the courts. She was removed from her home, placed temporarily in a CrisisResidential Center and then a group home. Other victims I know could not bring themselves to reportthe crime. Some were too young at the time. Some were related to or dependent on the rapist. Mostknew the rapist, who generally was known as a "nice" guy or man. All felt degraded, dehumanizedand dirty. Many thought it was in some way their fault. In the Wednesday, Feb. 19, issue of The Frontan editorial headlined "Rape victims should report crime to campus cops," rape victims were encouraged to Monica Bllll contact university police. But rape is a personal trauma that affects everyone differently. The course of action rape victims take is their decision alone. Although I believe reporting rape is thebest thing to do, I think it's wrong to say rape victims SHOULD do anything. Rape victims have beendehumanized and made to feel like "bad" people. They should not be made to feel worse byimplying that they are even more "bad" for not reporting the crime. Rape victims don't report rape formany reasons. They often feel ashamed, violated, like they asked for it, or worse yet, deserved it.Others fear reliving the experience in a courtroom and then watching their assailant walk free, and incases of acquaintance rape or incest, possibly alienating friends or destroying a family. Otherssimply fear they won't be believed. Only after they get over those fears and feelings of guilt will they findthe courage to report the crime. I may know more rape victims than most people, and I probably know more, than I am aware of- One of four women are sexually assaulted before age 18, and one out oftwo or three women will be the victim of rape or attempted rape in their lifetime, according to WhatcomCounty Rape Relief statistics. Men cannot escape rape. One out of seven men aie sexually assaultedbefore age 18. Rape could happen to your mother, your girlfriend, your little brother or yourself. Thinkabout it. ---------- Western Front - 1986 March 7 - Page 5 ---------- FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 5 Letters BlliWliiiiilijipiBiSlBlB lIBlilliililiiBiBWII^B^HRothwell flexes his macho rights Western Front At Last! Someone has finally exhibited the courage todenounce this "stupid" concern only "insecure, paranoid" women have regarding sexist languagereferences. Shawn Connor, you are to be congratulated for striking a blow for linguistic purity andupholding arbitrary conventions of language usage that have served men so well for centuries. I, forone. am sick of hearing a bunch of whining, man-hating women's libbers challenge my right as a truemacho man to refer to both sexes as man, he, him, his and the like. 1 wish these silly women wouldlearn their proper place and quit pestering people about trifles such as language references thatseman-tically stigmatize women and make the weaker sex linguistically invisible. So what if womenreceive letters addressed "Dear Sir" or "Gentle men." Shouldn't we assume those who occupypositions of power are male unless otherwise proven? Big deal if speakers and writers nearly alwaysuse he/him/his to denote gender even when the audience is mostly female. Don't be so picky. Whatwoman, for crying out-loud, needs to have his sex identified for accurate, unambiguous communication to take place? Any woman of intelligence knows who he is and doesn't need to be reminded. Youwouldn't hear Shawn sniveling about being referred to as "she" or "her" or "chairwoman" or "DearMadam." Why should she care? It's, no threat to her manhood. It's just that the language conventionshappen to be of men, by men, and for men. So when a sociolinguist named William Labov makesreference in one of his books to "members of- the social order and their wives." We all know women areincluded in the social order somewhere or other. We don't need to nit-pick about replacing "manhole"with "personhole." Sure, we could substitute a less trivializing reference such as "sewer lid," but whocares except some neurotic, paranoid females. So congratulations, Shawn. You've demonstrated that no one need search for the dozens of studies linking sexist language references to negative socialconsequences for women. Why should we try to diminish our ignorance on such a trivial subject?By the way, Shawn, you socially aware, sensitive guy. How much money did your Sci- Fi club make on"Flesh Gordon?" J. Dan Rothwell Campus police should be armed Western Front: I would like tocomment on Jim Estep's position on armed University Police. I am in agreement with the statementthat university policemen should be armed while on patrol. If the situation were to occur where auniversity policeman needed a handgun, I feel he should have the opportunity to protect himself andthe person he is trying to serve. My reasoning for this is that the university policemen have been trainedin the proper and controlled use of handguns. I hope the students suppport Mr. Estep's position in hiscampaign by sharing their support with their signatures in the upcoming petition'. Roger Coffman It's notparanoia; it's just empathy Western Front After having read Mr. Connor's comments on "Flesh Gordon"of the Feb. 25 issue of the Front, and his letter to the editor in the same paper concerning AlisonMajor's column. I feel he could benefit from an education on the use of words. 1 could say to him, "Mr.Connor, I find your analysis of Ms. Major's column to be incorrect." Or I could say to him, "You low-down, offal-brained, misbegotten throwback to an evolved ape, pull your head out of the dung heap it isstuck in; you're wrong!" Both of these statements would bring forth the feeling, 1 think, that he is inerror. However, they also carry very different connotations. One of them is insulting and. one acivilized, polite statement. Words carry great power. For example, if people were asked to attach apronoun to the word "doctor," most would pick "he." If they were asked to attach a pronoun to the word"nurse," most would choose "she." It is a subtle way of stereotyping the proper job to the proper sex.The terms he, his and man, generally imply more impor- UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OFREVELATION A TUESDAY NOON BIBLE FELLOWSHIP This winter quarter the Christian StudentsAssociation will be sponsoring a Bible fellowship on the book of Revelation every Tuesday in Room 408 of the Viking Union Building from 12:00-12:50 p.m. All are welcome!

The reason that Mr. Connor has trouble reading text with the terms s/heor he/she is that he is unfamiliar with them. Just as in his childhood he was unfamiliar with dressinghimself, feeding himself, reading and writing. Through constant exposure to these processes, hehopefully learned to carry them out. Through constant exposure to texts containing he/she, Mr.Connor will find that they will read smoothly and easily. It isn't paranoia on Ms. Major's part. I wouldsuggest that it is lack of education and empathy on Mr. Connor's part. John Lee The anatomy of atough decision Western Front: I am a nineteen year old college student. The doctor just confirmedthe news 1 so fervently hoped wasn't true: I am' pregnant. No, I am not a slut. I had gone out with thesame man for two years, and we had plans to marry. However, the differences between us became tooirreconcilable, and after months of concentrated effort, we had to stop seeing each other two weeksago-we were doing nothing but tearing each other apart. No, I wasn't risking sex without birthc.ontrol. My birth control method was prescribed by a gynecologistâ€”but whether I was using itincorrectly, or I am one of the 5 percent who become pregnant, my birth control method failed. At anyrate, 1 am pregnant, and 1 am scared. I have thought for weeks about the decision 1 am now forced tomake. I am struggling on my part-time job trying to make enough money for food, rent, electricity, etc.Lots of rice, pasta, and lots of sweaters when it gets cold. I am not complainingâ€”1 am simply doingwhat 1 have to do to be able to go to college. I want an education. 1 want a career. That to me is moreimportant than a first-run movie or a steak dinner. Don't make me out to be something I'm notâ€”I blowmoney here and there. But 1 have to give something up for that month to do so. Do I want children? 1want nothing more. My roommates, know it, my parents know itâ€”I am willing to lay out the time,energy, and money needed to raise a child, and will do my best to raise him or her correctly, which willtake a lot more of all three than raising a child incorrectly. I am not here to get my "Mrs." degree. 1have, however, chosen a career partially on my ability to work part-time after the children are born, whilethey are in school, and not have to leave them for business trips and the like. My family comes first.What could I do now? Quit school, work full-time. That would be no hardship to me, for a sacrifice isneeded, and I shall make it. But for how long could I work full-time? â€”five months, six at the most. 1have been working through the nausea, and will continue to do so, But how long can I continue towaitress? My walk would slow, my balance would fail, and who would want to be served by me? Whowould I go to for help? My ex-fiance, for a short while. Although we love each other dearly, we have triedas hard as we could to work it outâ€”and we couldn't, and a baby would only add ammunition to ourfights. I could go to my parents, they love me, and I love them. They would help me in any way theycould. They are in their 60's and living on a fixed income. They couldn't afford to finance my visits to theobstetrician, the birthing fees, and the baby's needs. I am not financially, emotionally, or physicallystable enough to take care of a baby the best way 1 could. So, what about adoption? There are so many children waiting for adoption, older children, those with handicaps, as well as those from brokenhomes and abusive parents. Why should I supply another child to this already large amount? What ifmy child was born with a deformity? It is not uncommon from a hypoglycemic mother with untreatedhigh blood pressure. How could I leave my â€¢ child, mentally retarded or physically handicapped tothe state for care? 1 have thought about this decision long and hard. I wish to have an abortion. Notbecause 1 don't want to be inconvenienced by a child disrupting my life, but because I don't feel thereare any other feasible alternatives for the child or me. If 1 thought there was, maybe I'd take it. I amscared. Not of the pain of the abortion, not the cost â€” I can borrow. I have thought about the baby, anddecided that this is the best decision â€” I am not scared of the decision. I am scared of other people. Iam scared of having my house picketed, of being called "murderer" and "baby killer." I am scared ofpeople throwing rocks through my windows and burning crosses on my lawn. I am scared of peoplebombing the clinic while I am there. My decision has been made, and 1 am satisfied with it. It is anunderstandable decision for someone in my position. But they don't know that â€” and they don't care.They have their views, and I have mine. America was founded on separate beliefs, or so I thought. I wasnot callous or unfeeling when I was making my decision, and now I will stick by it. I know there are risks involved, but I am not scared of the medical risks. 1 am scared of the risks to my physical and mental well-being created by the picketers, the bombers, and the rest. Not all people who are against abortiondo these things, and I realize that. That is fine â€”different opinions are needed. That is what America isall about. I have heard that "Pro- Choicers"are the silent majority. Referendum votes have proved this.But right now, I feel terribly alone. Why can we not put this through the governmental processes andleave it there? If people want abortion to become illegal, it will be voted illegal. If abortion was illegal,would that stop me? Probably not. It would cost more, and I might be rendered unable to havechildren. 1 might even die. But my conviction about what is right and wrong seldom has anything todo with what is legal. I understand how strongly they believe in their cause, but it's no stronger than Ibelieve in mine. Why can't we live with our differences and leave judgment to God: We are so inherentlyhuman, so imperfect, how can we see anything without flaws in our logic? Why must we play God withour beliefs, when we are so inherently human? I am scared. Not of God, but because humans aren't very godlike. Shelly ---------- Western Front - 1986 March 7 - Page 6 ---------- 6 WESTERN FRONT Fron Elves aren't responsible for grounds By Lynn Hersman staff reporter In thechildhood fairy tale, "The Elves And The Shoemaker," a poor shoemaker secretly was helped by elveswho would sneak into his shop at night and finish his work, leaving it completed for him the nextmorning. On Western's campus, students seldom notice the people who keep the lawns mowed, theflowerbeds weeded and the walkways clear of debris. But just as those secret elves were seldomseen, members of the garden crew of the grounds division are at work, maintaining 150 acres ofground. Stu Hurdle, head of the grounds department, said his crews concentrate most on certain high intensity areas, such as Old Main, making sure the lawns and gardens in the area look nice. Thesecond priority is keeping the five-to-six acres of athletic fields in shape. "Strips of lawn around theparking lots are considered low intensity. We just mow those," he said. The grounds department isdivided into two crews. Hurdle explained. The garden crew is in charge of grounds maintenance. Theutility crew is in charge of grounds construction. It operates the large equipment, such as the mowersused to cut the grass in the athletic fields. The grounds are divided into various sections, Hurdle said."The central campus areas are maintained most heavily." Unlike the shoemaker who did what work hecould before he retired for the evening, the students create more work for the garden crew. "In 1985we spent 1,000 hours on litter control," Hurdle said. "That's equivalent to one person working full time,two and one-half days a week just on garbage. "That's not the litter we empty out of trash cans, that'sthe litter Students may have noticed the utility crew at work on the new pathway next to Arntzen Hall wehave to pick up off the ground," he emphasized. Hurdle mentioned the Viking Union as a high-litter area,but in other areas litter is connected with vandalism. "I call it vandalism," Hurdle said, "when studentsare throwing beer bottles, pizza boxes and emptying trash cans out the windows." Hurdle said he has found this behavior most common in the Ridgeway complex. "Birnam Wood and Ridgeway are theworst dorms for litter problems," Hurdle said. "The rest are a close second." Hurdle said Mondays andthree-day weekends are consistently the worst for discarded beer bottles and pizza boxes. "On thethree-day weekends when Saga closes, students live on pizza," he said. "I wish there could be a waythey could eat the boxes." Apart from keeping the buildings from disappearing behind the grass andkeeping Western from becoming the Bellingham land-fill, workers spend a lot of time maintaining student pathways. Grounds maintenance repairs the brick surfaces to reduce the chances of tripping on thebricks. "The land at Western is shifty," Hurdle said. "It settles rapidly, developing tripping hazards."Grounds crews remove the bricks from their bed of sand, adding more sand to level the surface beforereplacing the bricks. Hurdle said bricks are the best surface for pathways at Western because they areso easy to repair when the ground settles. "When the ground settles concrete would break," heexplained. The crew also sweeps the bricks, especially during breaks. "Leaves that pile up on thebricks begin to get slippery and cause problems," Hurdle said, noting it's especially important to sweepthe bricks after the snow. During the November cold spell, the crew applied two full- BRIAN BEAN sizedump-truck loads of sand, at a cost of approximatley $1,000, to give traction to students trying tonavigate the campus. When the snow disappears, the sand must be washed away. Urea nitrogenfertilizer also was applied to stairs to keep the icy water from refreezing during the day. The cost of thefertilizer is less than the traditional Ice Melt, chemical, and it's good for the lawns. Hurdle said.Tomorrow, like every day, the unseen grounds keepers will be on the job maintaining Western's grounds.

I get along especially well with Angela, my roommate-she s so quiet that mostof the time I can't even tell she's^ there. I know you were a littlenervous about me living in a co-ed dorm, but you don't need to worry about the boys here. I feel that I,have a brother-sister sort of relationship with th* guys fin my floor. I do have a slight problem with theguys on the floor above usâ€”they have a stereo that they frequently turn up very loud, but they areusually considerate about turning it down when asked. Usually studying keeps me up rather late, but Imanage to get enough sleep. Really, everyone seems to go to bed late at college. There is a lot to seein this area, and Â£he other day some friends and I drove up to Vancouver and had a picnic in StanleyPark. Vancouver is a lovely city, and the Canadian police take a real* interest in visitors from "the States" (wnich is how they refer to us). That night I attended a little get-togther on the fourth rioor of my buildingand met some interesting people. We had a lot of fun, bu t the next day I was very tired and slept untilnoon. Well, I really must end this letter nowâ€”some of the people I met last night are coming over for achemistry and biology study session, andl want to review my notes before they get here. Oh, by the way, my books this quarter seem to be costing more than I anticipated. Could you pdssibly send me a littlemore money fonduss them? I m i x would really appreciate See you soon.

The guys on the floor above me have a really loud stereo, and it gets annoying thatmy little clunker doesn't have enough power to beat them. They'll usually turn indown if you ^nd'up somebody really big, carrying a large, b W iÂ«.tr*Â«nt. I get along fine with myroommate, mostly because she s at her boyfriend's"place all the time.

By Julie McGalliard Love â€¢ JUJZL, ---------- Western Front - 1986 March 7 - Page 8 ---------- 8 WESTERN FRONT Sports FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1986 Women defeat Gonzaga for title By Ric Selenestaff reporter Victory can be deafening, especially when it comes suddenly. Nearly 600 screamingfans rose to their feet simultaneously when Lynda Dart hit an 18-foot jump shot with five seconds to goin the final game of the NAIA District 1 championship series. Dart's shot gave Western a 70- 69 victoryover Gonsaga University, ending two years of frustration at the hands of the Bulldogs in districtchampionship play. The victory also gave the Vikings, 23-7, spot in the bi-district championship lastnight. After losing the first game in Spokane Saturday, 83-70, Western evened the series Mondaynight at home. It was Carmen Dolfo taking the blows in the face, usually from Carla Curf-man. but it wasGonzaga taking the beating as Western won an aggressive game in front of an equally aggressive crowd, 74-53. The Vikings started the game playing tough defense, out-rebounding Gonzaga and forcingBulldog turnovers. Western was cold on offense, however, and was held scoreless for four minutes and10 seconds before Dart hit a 20-foot jump shot to give Western a 2-1 lead. Western led Gonzaga through most of the first half but never by more than four points. Both teams shot poorly from the field in thefirst half, and the Vikings led at halftime, 29-26. Western was as hot from the field in the second half asit was cold in the first half. Shooting 65 percent, the Vikings outscored the Bulldogs 15-3 in the first fiveminutes of the second half to take control of the. game. Gonzaga could come no closer than 11 points the rest of the way. The final score represents the largest gap- "It was a battle out there tonight,"Western coach Lynda Goodrich said. "It was a good game for the fans to watch. "When you know thefans are behind you it gives you the added adrenaline to push you through," she added. "It was themost physical game I've been associated with," Gonzaga's first-year coach Mike Petersen said. "Wedidn't expect to come over here and beat them as easily as we did back in Gonzaga." "1 think weplayed a little flat over there," Goodrich said. "We didn't play our normal game." Dolfo and Kelli Kuikenled the Viking scorers with 16 points each. Gonzaga's Tammy Tibbies scored a game-high 21 points.The Vikings held Lisa Vestal, Gonzaga's second leading scorer, to six points. Though the Vikings wereout-rebounded, 42-34, they forced 25 Gonzaga turnovers. Not everything always goes according to plan.With just 10 seconds to go in the final game of the series, Western found itself desperate, with fewoptions. With Western trailing 69-68 and a jump ball pitting Dolfo against Curfman in Western's offensive end, Goodrich's plan was simple1â€”call time if the Vikings received the tip and foul if they didn't.Curfman got the tip, but Keltner grabbed the ball in front of the Viking bench, shuffled it to Anya Aardahl,who found Dart wide open on the left side of the key. Dart launched the title-winner with little hesitation."I was open, so I shot," Dart said. At first she was afraid the shot would fall short. "I didn't think it wasgoing in," she said. "It took me totally by surprise. "I went up for the shot, and when I came down mylegs were just shaking. I couldn't do anything after that," she said. "She is a smart enough player totake the shot." Goodrich said. "She was wide open, and we probably would not get a shot like thatagain." The lead fluctuated throughout the first half as both teams shot more than 50 percent from the field. At halftime the Vikings had a 40-39 edge after Tibbies hit a 20-foot jump shot at the buzzer.Western ran off 11 straight points in the first four minutes of the second half, with Shelly Brunscontributing six, as the game looked as if it might take on the complexion of the previous win. But theVikings could not contain Vestal who led her team on a 17-6 surge to tie the game at 67 with 2:15remaining. Gonzaga obtained the lead less than a minute later on a turnaround jump shot from 10 feet out by Kerri Mcintosh. Aardahl then hit one of two shots from the free-throw line with 1:07 remaining, tocut Gonzaga's lead to 69-68 and set up Dart's winning shot. Amy Simpson's three-quarter court shotwith four seconds to go bounced off the top of Western's backboard. "I knew we would win," saidKuiken, who finished the game with nine points. "We just had to keep our composure. "I don't think wecould do it without the crowd," she added. Keltner, Dolfo and Burns led Western scorers with 13 pointseach. Vestal led all scorers with 30 points. "(This game) was harder because it ends the season,"Peterson said. "We worked very hard. We kept our composure. I thought they (Western) played well."1 feel sorry for our seniors," he added. "I think the crowd really helped us a lot," Goodrich said. "Wewent two years losing to Gonzaga. Our team deserved it. They played tough defense all year, and theydeserved to win." MIKE CSWYNN Western's fans cheer the victory that gave the women's basketballteam the district title. Bench vital to Vikings By Butch Kamena staff reporter Like many coaches,Western women's basketball coach Lynda Goodrich has her own philosophy about the game. "Youcan't be a championship team and win playoff .games without a strong bench," she said.

HOLLY â€” NEXT TOKINKO'S OPEN DAILY 10AM-10PM With five seconds left in Western's championship final withGonzaga University, Lynda Dart hit a jump shot that gave the Vikings the NAIA District title. The factthat it was Dart who hit the shot again proved something the Vikings have shown this season. A goodbasketball team must have a good bench. Dart, Kelli Kuiken, Allison Giles, Donna Monetteand Don-nieWada aren't game starters, but as reserves they each have distinct roles to play. All five were startersbefore coming to Western, and have had to adapt to their new status. "They have to understand theirrole on the team, and they do," Goodrich said. "They've put the team on above themselves, as have thestarters." Of the five reserves, Dart, a senior, has seen the most action. Dart is the "sixth player," thefirst person off the bench. "I think if you look at any level of competition, the good teams . always havethat great sixth player who can come in and immediately make an impact," Goodrich said. "It's hard toadjust, and it takes a while," Dart said. "But it has become a challenge. I want to go in and change thepace of the game." Inside players Kuiken and Giles also have played key roles for the Vikings. Kuikenled Western in scoring in the three-game championship series against Gonzaga, tossing in 14 points agame. The junior center has played particularly well the last month of the season.

Giles, a freshman, hadbeen a starter at Hoquaim High School last year. "It has been an adjustment, but basketball is a teamsport, and you do what's best for the team," she said. "When you do get in, you play your rear end off." While freshmen guard Monette has seen action in all but two games this year, her biggestcontribution doesn't show up in game statistics. In most games, Monette spends as much time on herfeet shouting encouragement and support as she does sitting on the bench. "(Monette) is the spirit ofthe team," Goodrich said. "She has so much enthusiasm, not just in games, but in practice, too. Sheworks hard on the bench." "Even in high school, that's always been my role," Monette explained. "Youplay better when you're fired up, especially in big games."

"We go over videotapes with Coach (Goodrich), and she points out things,and we work on them in practice." The bench played a key role in the Gonzaga series. The final twogames were played in as many nights. While Goodrich substituted freely, Gonzaga stuck with itsstarters, going to the bench only because of foul trouble. In the closing minutes of the final game, theVikings looked much fresher than the Bulldogs. "I was able to go to the bench, and they (Gonzaga)weren't," Goodrich said.. "If Gonzaga had the little extra rest, maybe they would have won." "Basketballis truly a team game. Unless everybody is cont r i b u t i n g , you can't be successful." In this case,"everybody" certainly includes all five members of the Viking bench.â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢QnnnanDnnnnDnDnnanDDDDMDIDDDDDLDED DEDAnDSDT DCDUDLDTDUDDRDADLD DWDEDEDDKDEDNnDDD Da Sat,March 8 a n d Sun, March 9 -SCHEDULED EVENTS an nn on an nn nn an gÂ° Sat, March 8 nn on nn an an an nn an nn nn nn nn nn an nn an nn â€¢â€¢ Sun, March 9 no an DD aa oa nono DH an on nn nn 10:00 A.M.

On the far wall, an iridescent acrylic-coveredcanvas plays with the light and changes as the viewer walks. "It's one year of built-up paint on stretchedcanvas," Thomas Johnston said about the painting, entitled "Sweetheart." "Everything's on purposebut is also random and chance at the same time," Johnston said, commenting on the geometric shapes that dot the canvas. About the progression of his career and the works of art he creates, Johnston said,' "Every new piece is part of another. BRIAN BEAN 'Earth Assemblage #3,' by R. Allen Jensen, caughtthe attention of a viewer at the Faculty Exhibition. Every painting gets better and more difficult." Anorganized jumble of scarves, a toy tractor, a dinosaur, a baseball glove, sunglasses and various otheritems crowd the eye upon viewing Fred Sodt's oil painting "Objects Awaiting Meaning." "When Iselected the objects 1 thought they had meaning. Some objects have obvious meaning," Sodt said.Sodt explained the selection of the objects in the painting saying, "I've chosen the objects for tworeasons, one is the association people make with them and the other is because they are good to. lookat and could be a part of another painting, with shapes, colors and formal possibilities."

The scene was in the Viking Unioncoffee shop. Approximately 100 people came to enjoy the dancing and dine on 100 pounds of smoked salmon, donated by the Lummi Tribe. "The money raised here will go towards funding the AmericanIndian Scholarship Fund at Western," Luis Ramirez of the Student Assistance Center and eventcoordinator said. The Indian dancing and dinner was a preview of the powwow set for May 17 and 18 inCarver Gym. "I have been here nearly seven years and Western has not had a major powwow function.It's been a long time coming," Ramirez said. "It is essential to keep it goingâ€”to continue to share inthis rich tradition," Ramirez said. "We hope to have the entire community of Bellingham come out andsee the"event." Western is sponsoring the promotion for the powwow. "It is a good way to showcase the university," Ramirez said. "We hope to raise $500 to use towards cash prizes forthe dancers. The better the cash prizes,:the more top quality dancers you get." The powwow is co-sponsored by the GoldenEagle Pow Wow Committee. Antone George, a member of the committee, said JOHN ATKINSON Atthe powwow in the Viking Union Lounge, young and old danced the night away. having the powwow here"was something we had in our minds and hearts to do." George said the reason the powwow will be inBellingham is because "the mayor of Bellingham suggested it would be a good idea to try and get theuniversity to co-sponsor the event. If it wasn't for the university, we wouldn't have been able to put iton." The two-day event will feature singing and dancing contests for groups of all ages. The event alsowill feature a "Princess of the Powwow" contest, along with the sale of jewelry, blankets and woodcraftsat the Arts and Crafts Fair. Traditional Indian food will be available. "Hopefully we will end up with 1,000to 3,000 people attending, and about 200 to 300 dancers," George said. Twelve to 14 drum groups alsoare expected to attend. "The ones that don't dance just like to come to watch the others andsocialize," George said. A raffle to obtain money for prizes and to help fund the American IndianScholarship at Western will be a part of the powwow. The committee also wants local Bellinghammerchant sponsorship to help fund the event. They will advertise locally. The committee hopes toattract the attention and interest of dancers and drummers throughout the Northwest by sending postersto Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. Posters also will be sent to all four-year collegesthat have Indian students participating in powwows. Bellingham Mayor Tim Douglas will be made anhonorary member of the Golden Eagle Committee for the May event. A small donation will berequested at the door.

A Front special report on the modernstudent /8-9 Pfueller runs record-setting debut race / i i TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 WESTERNWASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA VOL. 77, NO. 16 Approved Western gets aWashPIRG . By Cheri Hoover Following a lengthy discussion, Western's Board of Trustees Thursdayauthorized the formation of a chapter of WashPIRG at Western by next fall. In doing so, the board also OK'd a controversial $2 refundable fee that will be tacked onto tuition fees at registration. DANNYKADDEN A "negative check-off" system will be used to gather funds for Western's WashPIRG chapter.That involves paying the fees at the time of registration. If students decide they don't want to pay the feeto support WashPIRG, however, a refund will be provided within two or three weeks after registration.Board member Irwin LeCocq said the $2 fee should be clearly identified as refundable and notmandatory for enrollment. Another board member, Craig Cole, dissented from the board's' decisioncalling the negative check-off method of gathering fees a"back door approach." "I've always supportedPIRGs, but I think everyone should be straight with the students. I think it's a back door way of gettingmoney." he said. Cole suggested a positive checkoff system, as currently is being used by theWashington Student Lobby. With positive check-off, a student makes a choice at the time of registration if they wish to pay the extra $1. WashPIRG representative Danny Kadden said WashPIRG wouldn'tsurvive with positive check-off because not enough funds would be raised. "We've looked into that(positive check-off). We've found it to be unworkable at Western," Kadden said. Trustee MarthaChoe said she felt comfortable with the proposal and the negative check-off system. "I would like to seeit (WashPIRG) try it. I would also like to see it scrutinized, but to let it stand or fall on its own merits." Kadden told the board that if at . any time a majority of the students at Western were not supporting the chapter and were requesting a refund of their $2 fee, the chapter would close automatically. At lastmonth's meeting, the board delayed action on the establishment of a WashPIRG chapter at Westernbecause LeCocq and Cole were absent. WashPI RG is a student-run and funded organization set up towork oh consumer and environmental issues. The fees are used for research and publishing costs. . and a divestiture proposal By Cheri Hoover Western's Board of Trustees Thursday unanimously adopted aslightly amended policy that forbids the investment of university funds in banks lending money toSouth Africa. Yvonne Ward, member of the Anti-Apartheid Action Coalition and Associated StudentsSecretary Treasurer, presented a written rationale to board members in February outlining reasons fordivestiture. . Since then, Ward has worked with Don Sturgill, controller, and Don Cole, vice president ofbusiness and financial affairs, to clarify the proposal, which prohibits university investments in banks that have "direct involvement" with the Republic of South Africa. The amended proposal redefines"direct involvement" to include "making loans or grants to a government, its agents or agencies orbusiness enterprises of a nation which violates human rights." A yearly review of university investmentswill be conducted, rather than quarterly reviews, as was suggested in the original proposal. But if a bank holding Western funds suddenly sent money to South Africa, this issue would be discussed at theearliest board meeting. Ward said only Rainier Bank, Trustees Gordon Sandison, (left) Craig Cole andIrwin LeCocq discuss a divestiture proposal at Thursday's board meeting. Peoples Bank, First InterstateBank, Seafirst and the Bank of California are large enough to lend money to South Africa's government, and therefore would be the only banks affected by the divestment policy. Currently, of the five banksmentioned, only Seafirst recently adopted a policy against lending to the South African government.None of the five banks currently has funds invested in South Africa. At last month's board meeting, thetrustees expressed concern about not getting the most finan-cial gains possible from investments. ButWard said so few banks are affected that the money easily can be made up elsewhere. "Studies haveshown that divestment doesn't negatively affect interest income for institutions," Ward said. Wardsaid adoption of the proposal is a positive step toward bringing attention to the South African issue andmaking an impact on South. African human rights violations. "It's real inspiring to see that the trusteesare sensitive to social issues and student concerns," Ward said. Supporters of the divestiture planbased their proposal on a measure passed by The Evergreen State College on Jan. 9. Elliott honored as top store manager By Don Yates Bookstore manager George Elliott has been picked as one of thenation's outstanding college store managers by the National Association of College Stores. Elliott saidhe was chosen because of the bookstore's consistent sales improvement and his involvement inindustry activities. Approximately 2,600 college stores are in the association and five managers werechosen for the award, Elliott said. "I was shocked when I found out," he said. "It's the highlight of mycareer." Elliott praised his staff for their performance. "Any manager has to have the staffing to allow him to do the things he has to do. They deserve the award as much as I do," he said. Elliott has been inthe bookstore business for 17 years, beginning as Western's assistant manager in 1968 and becominggeneral manager in 1971. GEORGE ELLIOTT "The operation was basically bankrupt when 1 tookover. There were no discounts and we were, in fact, adding to the cost of the merchandise," hecommented. "We now have the largest dis- â€¢ see ELLIOTT, p. 2 ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 Elliott receives award â€¢ ELLIOTT, from p. 1 countin the nation,"headded. The bookstore's current discount rate is 11 percent. Even with increasing salesand an increasing discount rate, Elliott isn't content. Elliott would like a completely new bookstore, "notjust remodeled," that would be able to offer new services to students. Among the new services Elliottwould like to add are an extension of copy-duplicating and binding services and a vastly expandedcomputer department. "We.just got into computer sales the first of October. Sales have exceeded myexpectations by far," he said. The bookstore offers a 25 percent discount on its computer goods.Elliott also would like to add outdoor equipment, shoes and an expanded gift section to the store'smerchandise, he said. Elliott likes his job at Western and doesn't plan to leave it. "I've been offered other positions and haven't accepted them, " he explained. "I'm very happy at Western."

Mel Davidson, Western's computercenter director, said he feels pretty confident that young hackers at Western have a great deal ofdifficulty getting into the computer that holds their grades. Davidson said the mainframe administrativecomputer in which grades are stored, called IVORY, has a security system that is nearly impossible tobreak. Two computers, the VAX 1 and VAX II, have "dial-up ports," that is, someone using a telephonemodem could call the computer and use it from their home computer. But IVORY doesn't have a dial-up port. In fact, the terminals used for IVORY are "hard-wired" directly to the computer. They are directly connected and no one else can get onto the line. Some terminals are hooked into a MICOM box, a boxthat allows a user to have access to one of the many mainframes on campus. "At the moment, noadministrative offices that have terminals for administrative work are connected to either the MICOMswitch box or to modems for use with dial-up ports," Davidson said. "We've done that deliberately tominimize the opportunity for people breaking into the systems." Davidson said the responsibility forsecurity resides with the offices that have the terminals. "Clearly if somebody could get into the officeand use the terminals, then the security is broken," Davidson said. "But to protect' against that weshut down the lines to offices after hours. So after 5 p.m., even if somebody could break into an office,the terminal would be dead." Davidson said that as far as he knows, no incidents of changing gradeshave occurred, but he isn't getting too cocky about that record. "No system is 100 percent secure.Anytime you think a system is 100 percent secure, you're kidding yourself," he said. "We've got to beconstantly on the lookout." Where the' administrative computers are nearly impossible to break into,the academic computers, the VAXs, are not. "We've had problems with student programmersgetting onto the system and disrupting the files of other people," Davidson said. He related a case acouple of years ago when someone tried to sabotage one of the VAX systems by leaving a "TrojanHorse" program. "That's a program where when you try to go about your normal business, you activatetheir program that they've left behind, which causes that program to either destroy your files or bringthe system down," Davidson said. The attempt failed, though, because the computer has a securitymeasure that blocks that from happening. They then went about closing the loophole in the securitysystem through which the hacker had entered. "With an active student body and a very good computerscience program...it's not very easy to stay ahead of them," Davidson said. If the computer centercatches someone trying to gain extra privileges on VAX, they'll punish them by throwing them off thesystem. This can ruin them academically. "If we prohibit somebody from using the computer system fora couple of quarters, they're effectively shut out of the computer science program," Davidson said.This kind of threat, Davidson said, tends to keep most people from causing that sort of damage. UpwardBound's future questionable By Lori Mayfield While many education programs will be affected ifPresident Reagan's budget â€¢ proposal is passed, the nation's Upward Bound programs are in dangerof-some big losses. Reagan's proposal asks that 200 of the existing 422 Upward Bound' programs beeliminated. The universities sponsoring the remaining programs will be required to provide matchinggrants of 20 percent of the program's annual budget, said Bernie Thomas, director of Western's UpwardBound program. Western's program is one of the six original Upward Bound programs in the nation. Ithas helped more than 1,500 economically disadvantaged students through their last years of highschool and into college. The program works with high school counselors to help juniors and seniorsimprove their academic standing so that they may get into a higher learning institution. Thomas, whorecently moved into the director position, will be going to several higher education conferences nextweek in Washington D.C. While he is there, Thomas will meet with the Washington statecongressional delegation to discuss what effect the funding cuts will have on his program as well asothers, he said. Just exactly which programs will be sacrificed won't be determined until the proposalis made into law; but Thomas doesn't want any program to be-cut, he said. Thomas is asking those who are interested to write their congressmen. He suggests residents of Whatcom County contact Rep.Al Swift.

Missing library materialsexplained By Tom Yearian Anyone who has done periodical research at Wilson Library has probablyexperienced the irritation of discovering the library does not have a needed journal or magazine. Thelibrary has quit subscribing to it, never subscribed to it or, what is probably most frustrating, the librarysubscribes to it, but the exact issue that one needs has mysteriously disappeared. Whatever thereason, the fact that it's not there can bungle the best research strategy. The problem is one the library's staff is aware of but only partly able to remedy. "We'll never be able to provide everything everyonewould ever want," Acquisitions Librarian Donna Packer said. "It's a universal difficulty," she added."Even the library at the University of Washington can't meet everyone's demands. Even Harvard getscomplaints." The problem has numerous roots. Most directly, it's a result of the modern informationboom, which spawns hundreds of new publications every year, Packer said. "There has been anexplosion of journals over the last 20 years and the library just can't afford to buy all of them,"saidRichard Thompson, chairman of the psychology department. More than 1,000 different titles areabstracted annually in psychology alone, Thompson said. Subscription costs also contribute to theproblem. Prices vary from publication to publication, and from field to field, but many of the moretechnical journals cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year. One journal, the Handbuch der organischen Chemie, "the grand-daddy of them all-," tops the price list at $9,342, Packer said. WilsonLibrary currently subscribes to 5,951 publications. The total cost: $593,000. One way the library holds down the serials budget is by making purchases from foreign vendors. Packer said the strong American dollar has meant more and more of their subscriptions to foreign journals have been placed withoverseas suppliers. Another reason for buying from foreign sources is to avoid the extra expense ofthe state sales tax, Packer said. Although the university is a state tax-supported institution, thelibrary still must pay the 7.8 percent tax on all domestic purchases. But purchases invoiced outside thecountry are exempt from the tax, she said. Library Director Diane Parker said if the library's periodicalcollection has shortcomings, the problem is partly historical. "It's important for people to realize thatWestern is a new university," she said. Prior to the 1960s, it was primarily a teacher's college and didnot need the range of resources necessary to a university, she added. Although the library wentthrough an intense period of collection building in the 70s, Parker said filling the gaps from earlieryears has been difficult and not always successful. That becomes obvious, she said, whenever you tryto do research using sources prior to the '60s. "You're going to get frustrated because some of theissues you want just aren't going to be there," she said. Another likely reason an issue is not there isthat it has been stolen. Packer said the library has a three-inch list of missing issues which are replaced whenever a substitute can be found. But finding a substitute takes time and it usually costs more thanthe original. Also, funds for purchasing replacements must come from the regular book budget, whichis already spread thinly, she said. Furthermore, the high rates of inflation in recent years wereespecially bad in the publishing industry. Packer said the library's budget has kept up with thegeneral rate of inflation, but has been overrun by the climbing costs of books and periodicals.Between 1975 and 1981, the con- DIANE PARKER sumer price index rose 61.5 percent, she said.But during the same period, the cost of domestic and foreign journals rose 85 and 120 percentrespectively. The inflation of journal prices became so extreme in the late 70s that steps had to be taken "to prevent the serials budget form gobbling up the entire library budget," Packer said. Eachdepartment was given a list of publications related to its discipline and asked to recommend titles to becut, she said. Roland DeLorme, of the history department said that on several occasions in the 70s thenumber of historyjournals had to be reduced. "It was a really painful thing to have to do," DeLorme said.It also will be more costly in the long run, he said, since the library "will have to go back and pick upmicrofilm copies of journals or find bound copies" in order to fill the gaps. * + \ Â£ % / Order any 16"pizza with 2 or more toppings. ^9/Get $2.00 off and 2 Free 16 oz. bottles of CokeÂ® Parker said the cuts were not unique to Western, but were faced by college libraries all over the country. The cuts atWestern were not as severe, however. Parker said the Wilson Library staff wisely decided "to keepeverything as lean as possible in order to continue acquisitions." While this policy has meant shorterhours, a smaller staff and few of the technological luxuries available at some other collegelibraries,.Western's book and periodical collections were not sacrificed. As a result, Western has thestrongest collection of all the state's regional universities, Parker said. One indication the library'speriodical collection is meeting student and faculty needs is the findings of a recent review of inter-library loan requests at Western. Parker said the most any one journal title was requested was- six times infour years, which is far below the five requests per year maximum recommended by the interlibrary loancode. Parker said the findings aren't conclusive, however. Students and professors may be makingoccasional trips to libraries at the UW or the University of British Columbia to do research orsubscribing to their own copies of journals. "That's something we need to hear about," she said,especially if it reflects more than an individual need. The library's inability to subscribe to everything is largely offset through the interlibrary loan service, which makes weekly trips to the UW, and bymaintaining a strong reference section. Packer said the current reference tools at Wilson Library areon par with the collections of any major university and are sufficient for all but the most specializedresearch. "You can find out what you need to get even if we don't have it," she said. iiiiii ii By JohnPowers S;;;?;Mter;;t^ ^esterh'sfj^ufn^ departments ;^ ;\ygys!!andfl:the3 ;depai;tment;#ii^WS^m^Bgia^gÂ§Â§gim HOW ABOUT A FREE FILLING ?

"A very large proportion of the U.S. government'sbudget goes to serve the needs of the middle class," Edward Kaplan of the history department began."What Social Security and Medicare do is render more affluent the great majority of Americans that areabove the poverty level, leaving relatively little money left to help those who are in need through no faultof their own." Kaplan described as an "imminently rational approach" to this problem the use of 14percent of one's income to invest in Individual Retirement Accounts to provide for one's own retirement,rather than letting the government pay one with pensions. He then suggested the elimination of the PellGrant, a need-based federal grant, and federally subsidized loans to students, to ease the huge drainput on the federal budget by public education. These things, Kaplan said, would allow for better care forthe nation's hungry. "Here's the military part of the budget, right here," John McClendon of FairhavenCollege rebutted with his hand above his head to demonstrate the height of military spending. "You cansee where the spending cuts have to come from," he continued. "Not from student aid. You want to feedpeople, put your priorities in place. Arms don't feed anybody," he said. "The problem with world hunger is that we keep treating it as if it's an agricultural problem. World hunger, and hunger in the United States,can be seen as part of the same statement. World hunger is an economic and political problem,"McClendon said. "There's only one way in which people can feed themselves, and that is if they havesome way of controlling production. There's only one ways, really, to change the situation for worldhunger, and that's to create some sort of land reform (changing of the way in which the land is used)," heexplained. McClendon went on to say that usually such land reform is brought about through revolution.Kaplan replied to this solution by saying "Professor McClendon is prescribing for the rest of theunderdeveloped world the horrible, killing medicine that China nearly expired under (under ChairmanMao Tse-Tung). "Professor McClendon assures me that I would really be better off if we were run theway Chairman Mao was running China'dur-ing the great proletariat cultural revolution, and intellectualslike me ought to be rusticated. Perhaps I ought to be sent down to Sedro Woolley to pick thestrawberry crop." "It's a good idea, Ed, yes" McClendon interjected enthusiastically. Kaplan argued that30 million people remain unaccounted for in China from 1959 to 1962; probably they were victims of death due to malnutrition or malnutrition-induced disease, he said. He said these deaths occurred in theaftermath of the "Great Leap Forward," Chairman Mao's version of McClendon's kind of revolutionaryagricultural reform. McClendon's reply was that he d-idn't advocate revolution, but it was often the only way to carry out essential land reforms. "If we re-allocated much of the military funding in the UnitedStates today, we could be working to create a land reform in the world that wouldn't require any kind ofrevolution," he said. The third panel member, Maurice Foisy of the political science department, whoarrived late, then voiced his opinion. "I guess the thing that disturbs me the most is the extent to which Isee power determining (redistribution and land reform), and power oriented by ideological perspective,"he said. "The short-run consequence...of policy intervention and the use of United States and other freeworld powers is starvation. If we're going to do anything, I think the policies we enact in support of ourgovernment should be behind providing things that people themselves need. I think the United Statescould afford to give a great deal more foreign aid than it does," he said. All of the panel members favoredaid to Ethiopia. "I think we ought to supply aid to Ethiopia as much as possible," said McClendon."Don't fund the MX missile and send that money to Ethiopia." Hunger, rebellions old news in Ethiopia By Vaughn Cocke PAUL LeROY KEN GIBSON Ethiopia mayappear to be politically confused andeconomically desperate, but its current troubles are nothing out of the ordinary. So said Paul LeRoy,outspoken Central Washington University historian and local expert on Ethiopia. LeRoy told a smallaudience in the Library Presentation Room Thursday night that Ethiopia has been characterized bypolitical, religious, linguistic and cultural diversity for hundreds of years. He said although the country'scurrent leader, Mengistu Haile Mariam, has different policies than his predessor, Haile Selassie, the end result is similarâ€”the standard of living for the masses is low, while those in power live in luxury."Mengistu has become Haile Selassie but without the flair and pageantry," LeRoy said. He described the U.S.-educated Ethiopian soldier as an ideologue and nationalist who opposes religion and despisesAmerica. And although Ethiopia now has an alliance with the Soviet Union, LeRoy said Mengistu^ won'thesitate to dissolve it in favor of something he likes more. "He's a very cunning and ruthless person,"he said. Mengistu was the beneficiary of the military coup in 1974 that deposed Selassie, who hadruled Ethiopia since 1930. LeRoy said Selassie resided in a magnificent palace, which was larger thanthe parliament buildings, while ordinary people owned nothing and paid taxes of 75 to 80 percent oftheir earnings. ^ Although the emperor refused to give the masses a voice in government, he promotededucation, and that, LeRoy said, contributed to his downfall. The Ethiopian people learned, and theybegan to criticize their leader. Then, when Selassie tried unsuccessfully to cover up the famine of theearly 1970s, the rebellion began, LeRoy said. The senile 84- year-old emperor was deposed by themilitary, and Mengistu took over. LeRoy said no offical word was released about the fate of the formeremperor but added he suspects the old man was executed. It's ironic, LeRoy said, that a famineresulting in 300,000 deaths helped bring down Selassie, while today's drought- has caused millions ofdeaths without seriously affecting Mengistu's ruling ability. He credited Mengistu with performing abetter cover-up. But the current leader is not without opposition, LeRoy said. Rebel groups have tried toassassinate him and are inhibiting the distribution of food and the planting of crops. "How can you plantcrops if you're being shot at?" he asked. Another problem with distribution, he added, is the ruggedterrain and the fact that 80 to 85 percent of Ethiopians would have to walk for more than a day just toreach a paved road. Whether the famine ends or not, LeRoy said he expects Mengistu to meet the same fate as his predecessor. He said the middle-aged leader "won't make it to 84," Haile Selassie's agewhen he was overthrown. LeRoy said he has visited Ethiopia four times, the most recent in 1974 whenthe revolution began. But despite the political turbulence of that time, he insisted his life was not indanger. "I felt much more safe in Ethiopia than 1 would in New York," he said. Bellingham employers tobe wooed by billboards By Michael Smith Western's Student Employment Center has been working forthe past year to add a touch of Madison Avenue to the center's efforts. The result of job developer Fred Ondeck's work is billboard advertising that reminds Bellingham employers that Western is the bestemployment pool in the city. "So many people really don't know or think of us when they are looking forworkers," Ondeck said. "This is one way of getting the message across." The only cost of the projectwill be $900 for paper and for having the prints put in place. This will be paid out of a $3,500 grant fromthe State Council for Postsecondary Education, Ondeck said. The 3M National Advertising Companyhas given Western free space for six billboard advertisements. Graphic art students from Western didthe work on the prints, he said. Two of the advertisements are in place now â€” one at Cornwall Avenueand Halleck Street and one at James and Carolina streets. Ondeck said he hoped the advertisementswould be placed at different locations, two at a time, throughout 1985. The Student EmploymentCenter has increased the number of its job listings every year since 1981. But because most of thejobs are temporary and part-time (what Ondeck calls survival jobs), more listings are always needed, hesaid. And "a good return," he said, "is expected on the investment in advertising. "You can see bylooking at the wages a student would get and the effect on financial aid, that even if only five or sixstudents secured jobs because of the billboards it would more than cover the $900 cost," he said. Ofcourse, many more than five or six jobs are expected as a result of the advertising, Ondeck said. Theemployment center has advertised before in business magazines, through direct mailings, through hisown contacts and now on billboards, he said. For the future, advertising on radio and in newspapers isbeing considered, Ondeck said. "We want employers to know Western is the best human resource intown," he said. dM*feOu Dâ‚¬Li 733-4369 'On the Southside" New tV TAKE-N-BAKE PIZZA $1.00 OFF Custom made every day! from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. One Toppings: Lg. $5.79, Med. $3.89, Sm. $2.79, or bythe slice 800 Expires 3-15-85 â€¢1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I S p,(uiaiU Free cup of coffee witha cookie purchase.

Randall had only two losing seasons in his 18 years as coach atWestern, finishing with 274 wins to 183 lossesâ€”best in the school's his- IH'BI.IC INFORMATIONOFFICE CHUCK RANDALL tory. In- addition, Randall was named Coach of the Year eighttimesâ€”three in the district, four in the Evergreen Conference and once in the NAIA Area I. Randallcoached the Western team to a District I title and four Evergreen Conference championships. Hedirected the 1971-72 season team to the quarterfinals at the NAIA Naional Tournament in KansasCity, Mo. Randall, 58, is the fourth person, and the only basketball coach, in Western's historytoreceive the honor. He is the third basketball coach in Washington state ever to receive the award; Theother recipients are Leo Nicholson of Central Washington University, and Marv Harshman, who wasnamed for his accomplishments at Pacific Lutheran University, but who retired this season fromcoaching at the University of Washington. "It's a pretty big honor...and in good company," Randallsaid, adding that it came as a surprise to him. He said he credits his focus on one single sport for hissuccess as a basketball coach. "When I was a young high school student, I knew I wanted to be acoach, and I liked basketball, baseball and football. I thought, 'if I'm going to excel in sports, I shouldprobably point to one sport and just really go for that one rather than trying to*be good (at all of them).'that was probably my biggest help." In addition to superior coaching skills, Randall made several off-the- court contributions to basketball. BRIEFLY Extra Protein Added to Your Meal.

Dogs on Campus.Students who "go Greyhound" at the end of each quarter will be able to catch a bus home right oncampus if an experiment next week is a success. Greyhound next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will offer a 2 p.m. non-stop bus to Seattle from the Viking Union, Greyhound Agent Ron Caldwell said Friday. The $8.80 one-way tickets still must be purchased at the bus station downtown, Caldwell said,but riders will be issued a special boarding pass allowing them to catch the bus on campus. Thecampus stops, if they "generate enough interest" among students, in the future may occur at the end ofevery finals week, Caldwell said. Don't Look, Ethel. Several residents of Birnam Wood called campussecurity March 3 to report the appearance of a man with a chronic lack of modesty. The residents toldcampus police the man was standing before an open window, wearing only a smile, exposing himself to passersby. The suspect was contacted, advised of public indecency laws and warned of possible arrest if the incident were tore-occur. He founded the first summer basketball camp west of the MississippiRiver, Conifer Camp on Snoqualmie Pass. "I'd already had basketball players practice in the summer,and I felt like the kids enjoyed it. It was fun, and also it helped us get better," he said. Randall said he'dheard about such camps back East, and after studying them decided to start one here. "At one time,(Conifer) was the biggest in the world," he said. In addition, Randall invented the Slam-Dunk BasketballRim, a rim that snaps down rather than breaks off when pressured during a slam dunk. It now is usedthroughout the country. Randall said the idea came about as a solution to the constant hassle of re-shaping rims bent by players. "I went over to the technology department with several ideas, andbetween them and myself, we worked out... an idea that, really, is the best one going today." "There arefive different companies that have five different kinds (of rims), but I think ours is the most successfulyet," he said. Randall, who came to Western in 1962 following a 13-year career of coaching high schooland grade school level basketball, suffered a serious heart attack in 1975. He continued coaching for four years after sitting out the 1975-76 season, but said it wasn't quite the same. "I never really got theswing of things after my heart attack; it was just too much of an uphill battle," he said. He remainsactive at Western, however, by teaching one quarter a year for the physical education department, aswell as directing, through the foreign study office, baseball and basketball programs in Morelia, Mexico."That has really been a successful program, I think, and it's fun for the kids to go...academically, it'sgood," he said. "I try to recruit the kids and foreign studies coordinates, although I do a littlecoordinating, too," Randall added. Randall was graduated form Central Valley High School in Veradale,Wash, and went on to earn two degrees in physical education. He completed a bachelor's degree atEastern Washington University, and master's at Washington State University. In addition to coachingbasketball, Randall coached Western's baseball team for four years, taking it to fifth place in theNAIA National Tournament in 1965, and eighth in 1964. He said he doesn't have any definite plans forthefuture, but conceded that basketball "sneaks into it (life) now and then." "I'd say that undoubtedlyI'll have something to do with basketball," he said. Randall looks back on his years at Western fondly. "This is where I've put my life. This is itâ€”Western. I had great years; I enjoyed it. I had a lot of greatplayers, and some good seasons. I think it's been very worthwhile," he said.

Some educators doubt they even exist. Butlearning disabilities do exist and affect almost 5 percent of the university population. And many who have a learning disability don't even realize they have one. Dorothy Crow, learning disabilities coordinator,estimates 300 to 400 Western students are going through school fighting a disability they don't evenknow they have. These people are dealing with confusion, frustration and low self-esteem because theyhave difficulties learning. Most don't know that some famous people have battled the same problemsand won. Thomas Edison was considered mentally retarded. He withdrew from school at 8-years-old and was tutored by his mother. He spoke in short, simple sentences all of his life. Hans Christian Anderson went through nine tutors trying to learn to read and write. He was considered to be illiterate. Hishandwriting was illegible and his spelling very poor. Some other individuals who had learningdisabilities were George Patton, Winston Churchhill and Woodrow Wilson. People with learningdisabilities have average to high intelligence levels, but have some kind of motor or sensory dysfunction. Dyslexia most often is used to describe the learning disability, however, Crow said dyslexia hasmany forms. A learning disability can be an audio-perceptual problem in which a person's brain mixesup things he hears. A visual perceptual problem is when a person's brain reverses words and numbers while reading. A motor perceptual problem is when a person thinks clearly, but has problems puttingthose thoughts in writing. Shari Wartenbee, a junior interior design major, realized she might have alearning disability when she was studying them in a psychology class. As the symptoms weredescribed, "too many things clicked," she said. Wartenbee also had an English professor who had some knowledge edge of dyslexia. He asked to see her notes a few times, but she always self-consciouslyrefused. Finally he talked her into letting him look at them, and he saw definite patterns of dyslexia inher writing. "I don't let anyone see my notes. You see, confidence is a big thing. And my notes were sobad, I was embarrassed to show them," Wartenbee explained with a nervous smile. After studyingsome material on dyslexia, Wartenbee went to a friend in the psychology department and asked himto get her a dyslexia test. "He said, 'Shari, 1 know you don't have dyslexia. I can tell.' But I kept trying,so he finally agreed to order the test. I told him to get the test and I'd take it just to satisfy my owncuriosity," she said. The results of the test were positive and Wartenbee said, "It was such a relief.There were reasons for things. I wasn't just dumb. Everything made more sense now." She hasproblems in reading.and has to read material several times before she can understand it. The learningdisabilities program has her textbooks taped so she can listen to them instead of reading them herself.Writing also is a problem for Wartenbee. She's always had written assignments checked three or fourtimes for mistakes. "My Mom always helped me out a lot. She would read over my stuff. Before sheknew I had EARN OVER $1,000 A MONTH.

Once she found out, it was a bigrelief for her. You see, my Dad had dyslexia too. It explained a lot for her," she said. "My Dad died when 1 was young. I wish he could have known he was dyslexic. I wish he could have understood.Sometimes you feel so inadequate. It's comforting to know there is an explanation," Wartenbeeexplained. Her grandfather also had dyslexia. Crow said 80 percent of Western's learning disabledhave family members with learning disabilities. It is a hereditary trait. Wartenbee said memory plays abig part in her academic success. She can memorize very well. Her friends also help her quite a bit. She often asks them to go over things while studying together. Wartenbee said she seldom uses theservices Dorothy Crow provides, such as alternative testing. She is reluctant to tell her instructorsabout her disability. "I don't want them to think I'm trying to take the easy way out," she explained. "The important thing is the option to use those things is there for me. If I want to use them., they don't giveme any hassles," she said. EarJ Yeckley also suffers from a learning disability. Although he has a highI.Q., Yeckley has a ninth-grade spelling ability. And despite the fact tests didn't prove it, he also thinkshe has number dyslexia, he said. "One day my wife and I were watching a baseball game on TV. I wasreading some batting averages off to her and was reversing the numbers. "Just out of curiosity, I wentthrough some old math tests.

He now is an elementaryeducation major. Yeckley said he doesn't have the problem when programming a computer. He canprogram computers in 28 languages. "Logical thinking I can do well," he said. "It's not that 1 can't dothe math work. I just take a little longer. 1 have to check the answers more than once." Because of hisexpertise with computers, he uses them to battle his disability. He uses a word processor for writingassignments. Yeckley said some professors don't acknowledge that learning disabilities exist. "I tookMath 205 three times and still ended up with a 'D\ The first time I took the class, I didn't know about mydyslexia. 1 would make one mistake and the whole problem would be gone. "The other two times theprofessors tried to cut me some slack and give me a chance. It's still a matter that 1 don't think theyunderstood the problem," Yeckley explained. "After you find out, you sav 'Hey, I'm not a dummy afterall," " he added. Yeckley said his grade point average is moving up now that he is aware of the problem. It doesn't happen all of the time, but when it does he can adjust for it. He usually gets more time totake tests. Tests that require writing, he can take on the word processor in the Tutorial Center, hesaid. Both Yeckley and Wartenbee mentioned being forced to be right-handed, although they naturally were left-handed. While neither think this caused the disability, both agree it made overcoming itmore difficult. Crow said while more lefthanders have learning disabilities than right-handers, anycorrelation is purely speculation at this time. Crow's office is located in the Tutorial Center in Old Main 380. ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 7 ---------- TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 7 CCF: a commitment for Christians By ShelleyNicholl It's 7:30 Friday night and Arntzen Hall 100 is filling with the sound of gospel music and melodicvoices. In the foyer and on the stairs, students greet each other warmly. Some hug each other. On theplatform at the front of the room, an ensemble of guitars, a flute, a trumpet and an electric pianoleads the singers. â€¢ The singing gets louder and some people start clapping as they move to theirchairs. Campus Christian Fellowship's friday meeting has begun. CCF is a place where Christians ofdifferent denominations can get together with their peers and sing, worship and learn about the Bible,CCF minister Brady Bob-bink said. Of the six founders of the campus group, Bobbink is the only onestill at Western. "We were looking for a place of community, a place to share and to actively work tochange things," Bobbink said of their reasons for forming in 1972. At that time, just after the VietnamWar, Western's "campus was riddled with Eastern mysticism," Bobbink said. Bobbink was a liberalarts student and heard a great deal about Buddhism, but found Western had no groups for evangelisticChristians. So he and other students formed a "support group," which soon became CCF. The Fridaynight Fellowship meetings "started spontaneously" Bobbink said. Attendance at the first evening wassmall. But the next week "the.re was about 30 of us," Bobbink recalled. "We were looking for a place ofcommunity, a place to share and to actively work to change things." â€”Brady Bobbink Now, CCFmeetings have between 350 and 450 people attending. The singing stops at the request for a moment ofprayer, and abruptly the room sounds as if no one is there. People's eyelids are squeezed tightly shutand their arms wrap around their neighbor's shoulder. Then, Bobbink, casually dressed in a sweater,jeans and tennis shoes, addresses the crowd. The casual atmosphere is not an accident. "It'spurposely informal," Bobbink explained. "It's not designed to be a local church." The meeting is two hours long so students have time to feel relaxed and not rushed, Bobbink said. After his first CCF meetingDon Tod-hunter, 19, said he preferred the group over church. "It's a nicer atmosphere. You're with peoplethe same age. You have more in common." But the first impression of a Friday meeting may not becomfortable for everyone. Scott Snyder, 23, who has been going to CCF for four-and-a-half years, said he felt uncomfortable at his first meeting because he wasn't used to the atmosphere. "I was overwhelmedat first," he said. "It was a more open style than I was used to." â€¢' But, he added, "I met a lot ofChristians the first dayâ€”that were sincere, that I hadn't seen before." ANDY PERDUE Jill Thompsonand Blayne McAferty are two of several CCF members who take turns playing guitar and leading "morning singing." The familiar songs start again to the soft crooning of the guitars. Gradually, the singing getslouder and more intense. Some people stand up, their hands reaching toward the ceiling, palmsupward, their eyes are closed and earnest voices come from their smiling mouths to fill the room with awarm, full sound. One woman stands with her hands clasped under her chin and sways slightly to themusic. At the Friday meeting, most people seemed to enjoy the service, but CCF is not for everyChristian. A senior, Cathy (not her real name â€” she asked not to be identified), went to CCF in herfreshman year, but said she didn't want to go back. "I was overwhelmed at first. It was a more openstyle than I was used to." â€”Scott Snyder "1 took it too seriously," she said. "I thought if the wholeworld wasn't good, I could change it." At CCF, she said, "you get close to people and open yourinsides out." After leaving, she came to realize "you can solve things by yourself. You don't have toopen up." , She said her life now is more realistic. "Now I'm stronger and my world is rounder," sheadded. She was "never raised going to church," but in high school she belonged to the youth group"Young Life." Coming to Western from a small town, she didn't know many people when she arrived."The first group I met were involved with CCF," she said, and she soon became involved herself. But, sheadded, "It really wasn't like me to get involved." She said CCF was like a "security blanket" for her andshe realized later that was not the right reason to go. When she went home for the summer following her freshman year, her family was worried because her beliefs had become so strong. This was when shediscovered she was using CCF as a shelter. She never went back to CCF. Bobbink begins to wind downhis animated hour-long sermon. " We whine and squirm about meaningless things, " he said. After a pause, he continued softly, "Are we really open to the power of the spirit?" Pause. "Are we reallydevoted to Jesus Christ?" Later, he added, "There's no better place to go than to refresh ourselves withworship." . Although Bobbink said he hadn't heard the tag recently, he is aware of CCF being called acult. But, he said, "It's a naive layman's use of the word." In cults, he said, people are subject to mindcontrol, economic control, parent-child separation and a strong authority figure. "You just won't find thatat the Fellowship," he said. Snyder believed some people may call CCF a cult because "they see a lot of commitment. You don't see a lot of commitment in society. People get concerned when theremight be a commitment." Cathy said, "I wouldn't call it a cult, but maybe for some it would be. It depends on how a person takes it." Bobbink said, "Some people may say that loyalty to the Seahawks may becultish." Most students in CCF are very serious and committed, he explained. "The Christian community has discipline by nature," he said. ANDY PERDUE Every weekday morning at 8:50, members of CCFand other campus fellowships gather to sing at Fisher Fountain. He said the commitment from students is a combination of what is expected of them and what they want to do. Usually about four to five hoursper week is the minimum time commitment. This may include Friday night meetings, Bible studygroups during the week, called core groups, Christian classes and involvement in various socialissues. Bobbink said working for social justice is an integral part of CCF. The group is involved withworking with the elderly, with food and clothing drives to help the Lighthouse Mission and also with thecampus group Students for Life, which protests abortion. If the.time commitment seems large, Bobbinksaid it's because CCF requires consistency and loyalty. "There's an expectation if you choose tobecome involved." After Bobbink s sermon, the singing starts again, more intense than before. Nearlyeveryone is standing. The music stops for a moment and a few members of the group stand up at random and "share" their feelings in prayer. Some people hum in agreement while others whisper "Praise you,Lord" and "Thank you, God." Next, everyone moves into a group of three or four to "share" his or herfeelings or problems encountered during the week. Although the room is noisy, no one seems to noticeanyone outside the group. Many groups form a close bond by knitting their arms together. As the musicresumes, the groups break up. This time most people have their hands raised and eyes closed and aresmiling as they sing the words from memory. The music stops againâ€”// is time for theannouncements. Someone on the stage asks if anyone is interested in going on "kegger ministry" thatevening. The blond-haired and bearded Bobbink chuckled when he described the "kegger missionaries." They started about five or six years ago, he said. Several of the people in CCF had non-Christian friendswho went to keg parties. The members of the Fellowship wanted to interact with them and share whatthey knew, Bobbink explained. "There's some hurting, lonely people," he said, later adding, "It's thenature of the Christian faith to make itself known." But Cathy wasn't enthusiastic about the keggermissionaries. "Some people go to parties to have a good time. They're not using alcohol as a crutch.You really need to see if they're hiding from reality. You can't say it's wrong when they feel right," shesaid. "I wouldn't call it a cult, but maybe for some it would be. It depends on how a person takes it."â€”Cathy But parties aren't the only parameters of CCF's missionary work. Bobbink said "the greatestneeds are overseas." Students are encouraged to do missionary work abroad and CCF has a programthat allows students to work in a foreign field for 8 to 10 weeks. Bobbink also hopes that manystudents can use their degrees "to serve the needy." Snyder, who is a history education major, saidhe would like to start a Fellowship on another college campus or go overseas. After being a coreleader for four years, he said, "I'm very interested in leadership. I love it." This type of commitment isnot for everyone Cathy said, and no one makes members feel like they have to be a missionary."They say some just are not that devoted," she said. Even though she prefers not to go to CCFanymore; she said she still has faith in God and doesn't regret going. "What it comes down to," Cathysaid, "is I'm not negative on CCF, it's just not for me." After his first meeting, Todhunter said he wouldlike to come back. By 9:30 p.m., the service is over. Many people linger to chat with friends for a fewminutes. Slowly the room begins to empty as the students, laughing and smiling, leave the room in small groups, with each member clutching a Bible. ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 8 ---------- 8 WESTERN FRONT HIGHER EDUCATION Western faces career- minded 'new student' who ignorestraditional goals, some sax; Editor's note: Much debate at Western and campuses nationwide recentlyhas centered on the value of obtaining a well-rounded, liberal arts education. Many modern students,faced with a demanding economy and tight job market, say liberal arts classes impede their scheduledtraining for specialized occupations. That shift in attitude has created a crisis among universityadministrators and instructors, many of whom are seeking a new definition of the term "education " atthe college level. L. Lee Knefelkamp, an associate professor at the University of Maryland, last monthconducted administrative and faculty workshops on the shifting role of higher education. Using herpaper, "Faculty and Student Development in the 80s: Renewing the Community of Scholars," as astarting point,Front reporter Stanley Holmes began a three-week study of student, faculty andadministrative thoughts on the role of higher education. Following is his report. By Stanley HolmesStudents today are more likely to attend college to improve their standard of living rather than seekknowledge of themselves or of the world, and higher education seems to support this change, say someprofessors and students at Western. A 1983 survey conducted by the American Council on Educationand the University of California at Los Angeles found student interest among students in "being very well-off financially" at an all-time high. The survey also said 69.3 percent of students asked wanted to be"well-off financially" as opposed to 43.5 percent in 1967. At the same time, student interest in developinga meaningful philosophy of life" reached an all-time low, it stated. Only 44.1 percent expressed interest in a "philosophy of life" in 1983, as opposed to 82.9 percent in 1967. â€¢ Western students whoparticipated in the same survey in 1983 did not necessarily agree with national averages.lt found 42.0of Western students asked wanted "to be well-off. financially." This was a drop from 1981 when 56.9percent answered the same question. In terms of developing a "meaningful philosophy of life," 60.4percent in 1983 said it was important. A substantial increase from 1981, where only 49.2 percent felt itwas valuable, the survey stated. Joan Sherwood, Western's vice president of student she met were notinterested in discussing world issues. "I did not find students on a whole very interested in ideas," shesaid. "Especially when I lived in the Ridgeway dorms, later when I was a junior I met friends willing todiscuss issues." Dan Mandeville, 22, a junior in Business Adminis-tration. said he was in schoolbecause, "you've got to have a degree to make some money." He said he wants to work in stocks andinvestments., Those companies require a degree from college to get into the door, he explained. As fortaking liberal arts, he thought classes were okay, but "there was too much of that stuff." "It's a joke," hecontinued. "Your livelihood is weighted equally with becoming a well-rounded person. College for me isa trade. I'm interested in world issues, but I can't get bent-out-of-shape about it because as a singleindividual, I can't change anything'.' Richard Francis, director of the outgoing Pilot Program for the Core.Curriculum, explained that students are pressured by parents, peers and economi s e live in a societythat values education as a means of self-impro vement and up ward mobility, on the one hand, andunder-finances it on the other. If learning is perceived as accumulation of information, then the act, theart of teaching is reduced to information exchange and teachers become interchangeable commoditiesto be purchased as inexpensively as possible. â€”Knefelkamp ics to take practical courses to find jobsin a technological society. But he added the nature of American universities historically has beeninfluenced by "a strong pragmatic element," which has helped obscure the purpose of higher education,he said. "We've never sorted out the levels of education," he said. "Such as, what level does one receivea liberal arts education and where does one begin technical training?"

"Basically, I believe this generation of students came to college to improve their standard of living as opposed tobeing idealistic and learning for learning's sake," she said. When asked why she came to Western,Debby Dorman, 23, a senior in accounting, said she was seeking a career. Dorman said she thinksstudents today are into professional training as opposed to learning about ideas. "I took what wasrequired and felt liberal arts didn't apply to what I wanted to do," she said. Laura Penberthy, 21, a seniorin French, said she came to Western to "find answers to questions about the world in general that I didn't think I could find anywhere else." . Penberthy said she felt Western provided answers to many ofquestions, although most of the students This confusion began with the creation of land-grantuniversities, he said. Originally, they were created to improve the agricultural and technical quality ofour country. In effect, they are elaborate trade schools, he said. After World War II, state, universitiesexpanded greatly with the ideal of offering education for all, Francis said. "It decided to be all things toeverybody." The state universities then tried to copy the liberal arts schools, and by doing that, over-extended themselves, he said. Knefelkamp, in her paper, says universites have a greater diversity ofage, race, sex, intellectual ability and academic preparation than ever before.. She describes the "newstudent,"defined as being in the lower one-third of academic ability by all measures of student abilityand achievement.

They are primarily studentsfrom lower socioeconomic families having no higher education history. They came to collegesucceeding best at concrete learning tasks, failing frequently at abstract tasks such as reading about,talking about or writing about theoretical subject matter, she said. They have high needs for structure,personal attention, immediate feedback on performance, and education that results in immediatevocational choice and economic improvement. They come, in short, to campus and facultyenvironments that do not know who they are, she said. Knefelkamp adds that one of the most difficultissues facing higher education is to make the distinction between types of learning. She defines onetype as "quantitative, which is the accumulation of informa-p Â«iÂ°8 tion, credits and grade as"qualitative." It is "I of thinking to be used [ analyze complex situal action."

Harris said much of the blame lies with the educationalsystem, and not necessarily with the student. The system doesn't encourage independent thought, hesaid. "High school students have been taught for a long time not to think for themselves," he said. "And I don't think some of the classes at Western have encouraged independent thought, either." Bob Balas ofthe foreign languages department said that for students to learn something from a course, the instructionmust help them see connections between theory and reality. He said most course material presents only the theory side, and the student is not shown connections to reality. Part of the blame falls onuniversity teaching, which most instructors simply don't care about improving, Balas said. "There's neverbeen an effort to explore who the good teachers are on campus, and to see how effective they are," hesaid. "I think there's only a vague notion of wanting to improve teaching." Francis agreed. Even thehumanities become sper-cialized, he said. Professors in humanities tend to do advanced scholarly workin over-refined areas and fail to make the connection between scholar and teacher, he explained. It's asymptom of the times, he added. Yet Francis said he feels the humanities still must provide a broaderapplication of the meaning of historical works and make it clear to the students how significant theseworks are to their own lives. Thomas Billings of the education department said students still have thesame interests they've always had in philosophy and technology. He had taught for 32 years. "But we'renot serving the philosophical needs of students at all well," he added. The prime questions of the humanrace should be the core of a university, he said, not the technical or commercial intersts of an industrialsociety. Freshman Janette Gluba, 19, came to Western because "I didn't want to be stuck as ahousewife with two kids watching soap operas."

"Preferably, I loved the healthy antagonism of the early 70s," he said. The students'orientation is different today, he added. They are more concerned about careers and grades. On the other hand; students can't neglect this aspect since once they leave the university they need to find jobs," hesaid. "So the colleges are thereby forced by this 'mercantile imperative'to give students what theywant," said / am concerned that we are in danger of becoming a higher education communitycharacterized by non-generativity and by the inability to hear each other's voices.

"The students are graduating from here with a narrow and purposelessnessfield of knowledge available to them," he said. "The educational system in which they have been 'nurtured' has managed to addict them to a terminal confusion of data and knowledge. "And if the studentdoesn'tfind a particular course to his or her chosen field, they simply denounce it as unworthy of their study," headded. Many students today are job-oriented because they are worried about the future, Sherwood said.She thinks it's a cycle and a trend. In 10 years students will be more idealistic and will value learning forits own sake, she said. But others wonder what exactly is the purpose of higher education? Is it to trainpeople to operate machines, or is it a commune of ideas, a place to restore the soul and reflect on theworld outside? It has tried to be both, but is has not done its job well. John McFarland a graduate student in the school of educa-tion. clarified the dilemma students and higher education institutions facetoday. "There are some highly educated people coming out of here with no better understanding ofthemselves "or their relation to the world," he said. "I equate a higher state of consciousness as the goalof an educated man or woman."

Gluba said she wants to become better educated, and Westernis a stepping stone to a university offering an advertising degree, she said/ She said that in the dormsshe doesn't discuss what she learns in class with her friends, unless it's about tests. Gluba said shedidn't prepare herself for college, but said high school didn't demand enough from her either. AndyNeubauer, 19, is a freshman. He said he chose Western because his friends did and because it has agood broadcasting program. "Mostly I came here for a career," he said. He felt ambivalent about liberalarts and GURs. "Some of the GURs will help me in my career; but I don't think anthropology will. It givesme knowledge about cultures, but that's about it." "The students today are more attentive, but I don'treappear. The more skills you have,"i.e. intellectual3 and practical, the better you'll survive the world andits tremendous changes.". Speaking to professors like Mills, Francis and Billings, the conclusion isthat intellectual skills are grossly lacking throughout the educational system. It's no surprise the focus atWestern today is vocational. It's what the students want. But while it remains that way, Mills speaksfor the minority: "My role is to resist the changes implied in the mercantile imperative if they seem toinsist on handicapping the students. Therefore, what I insist upon is a basic competence in theprocess of gathering new ideas and strengthening the 'mental muscles' necessary to lift the nextproblem up into the light. So while I teach the same data which is current in all areas of scholasticinquiry, I do so in the traditions of the skeptics. I force the students to forge the tools of learning." ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 10 ---------- 10 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 By Elisa Claassen In addition to setting a meetrecord, freshman Genevie Pfueller set a new school record with 1982 Athlete of the Year MarilynThibodeau.

But for ex-Western quarterback Dave Peterson, who was invited to attend the United StatesFootball League Arizona Outlaws training camp this past January, a lot also can be said for playing good, consistent football. "I was nervous. It was scary," Peterson said of walking onto the practice field inTempe, Arizona. He attended three two-hour practices and found differences from college practices. "InTempe, it was very organized. All the players knew exactly what to do, and the coaches didn't need tospend time explaining things," he said. He said in college, where new people are learning, coachesspend more time explaining things and the organization is not as precise. "The receivers were a lotfaster than anyone I'd seen. It was hard to get my timing down," he added. Peterson said thequarterback coach was encouraging. "He said I did a lot of things real well, but my arm wasn't strongenough and I should keep working on it," he said. Peterson said he believes his arm is strong enough.He said scheduling didn't allow time for a warm-up, and because his arm also had been sore, "I couldn'tgrip the football." He said he didn't attend the camp expecting to make the team. The Outlaws already had signed its players and the camp was held to "take a look at people and see if anyone was betterthan the players signed." But Peterson said the camp was good experience for his tryout with the British Columbia Lions at the end of March. He said he believes his best chance for playing professional football lies in the Canadian Football League. CFL players tend to be smaller than National Football Leagueplayers, and at 5-foot-10, Peterson admits his size works against him in the National Football League.Peterson said size, however, may not be as important as how well a coach utilizes his abilities. "Thecoach has to have a roll-out offense, take advantage of my speed and ability to throw on the run," hesaid. "Even a 6-2 quarterback can't throw over a 6-6 lineman with his arms up," he said, and any goodquarterback has to be able to "throw around the defense." Peterson's football career began at a BoysClub in the small town of Arlington when he was 7. In high school, he was named an all-state defensiveback, and as quarterback, he led the Arlington Eagles to a Class AA state title in 1979. At OlympicCommunity College, he won honorable mention as a community college Ail-American, and when hebrought his quarterback skills to Western, he set or tied 14 school records. Peterson ended his footballcareer at Western last season rated fourth nationally in the NAIA. Playing at Western, Peterson hasn'treceived the publicity he might have at a larger school. He said his size was a factor in not being draftedby a larger school, but he is quick to add he finds many advantages playing for a smaller school. "In amajor college, people get washed away, there's no chance to play. At the University of Washingtonthere are second team guys that never play. In a smaller school, you often can play four years and havea lot of opportunities to improve and gain experience," he said. Peterson's motivation to play footballstems from his enjoyment of the game and competition, and, he said, player and fan approval also play a part. For the moment, football is the number one priority in Peterson's life. To succeed, he said, "That'sthe way it has to be." He said if he couldn't play football he would miss the excitement. "It's exciting tomake a big play on fourth down, or to scramble out of trouble," he said. But he wouldn't miss "gettingbeat up." Peterson said he's never had a serious injury, and he never thinks about it when he's on thefield, but he does admit having felt aches and pains from bumps, bruises and pulled muscles. DAVEPETERSON If the Lions don't sign Peterson, he has plans to try out later in the year for Toronto orWinnipeg. Peterson's goal to play professional football is an immediate one, but he also has long-term goals that include finishing his technical degree, and someday "having a good job, and being a goodhusband and father." Warthogs tie game with Skagit Valley By Janice Keller The sun didn't quite shinehard enough on the Western Warthogs Saturday afternoon as they tied 8-8 with Skagit Valley Rugby Club in Mount Vernon. "Skagit Valley played an excellent game," Western coach John McCarthy said,"which is a compliment to Western. They knew they had to play well. "We played an average game andit blended into a tie," he added. Wings Kelly Bunn and Rob Sackerson were responsible for one tryeach(scoringattempt worth fourpoints). Saturday's match leaves the Warthogs 6-2-1 for the season. Team captain Brian Taylor, who plays eighth man, said the team didn't play as well as they did againstChuckanut Bay last week and did individual things wrong. "We didn't pass and we didn't pick the ball up," he said. He said that at one point, "one more pass and we would have scored again." McCarthy saidthe players tried to do too much individually, keeping the team from scoring. "More than anything," hesaid, "rugby is a team sport. Individuals are capable of losing rugby games. Team play wins rugbygames." OPEN LATE. KINKO'S business day starts early and ends late, so we're here when you needus most!

Even without actors or a plot the film would be a stunning sensual experience. But the film does have a plot and it is a time-honored one. The tragic story is based on the classic Greek legend of Orpheus. In the film version,Orpheus falls in love with Eurydice at a Rio de Janeiro carnival. The couple's happiness is threatenedby the inevitable Death, whose eerie skeleton costume is contrasted to the brightly colored carnival ashe stalks Eurydice. When the carnival ends, its illusion of happiness is exposed. The costumes fallaway. The police arrest those too drunk to find their way home. MOVIE PREVIEW But Orpheuscontinues to wear his costume and clings hopefully to his doomed jove for Eurydice. The film leads theaudience to believe true love can overcome even death. The film proves brilliant filmmaking canovercome mediocre acting. The main characters in "Black Orpheus" are portrayed by dancers, notactors. Consequently, the actors often seem awkward and stiff when contrasted to the fluid fandangoalmost constantly in the background. But the actors and the plot of "Black Orpheus" serve only toexplain the message that is communicated most powerfully by the film's music and natural beauty.Orpheus' love is communicated by his music, not his words. And the lovers' hope is found in a sunrise,not in their facial expressions. "Black Orpheus" was made in the-late 1950s when directors still wereexploring the possibilities of color film. Many directors today seem to believe the bright, clear colorsfound in "Black Orpheus" are garish. Now, more subdued colors and foggy scenes are in style. But thecolors of "Black Orpheus," combined with the movement of its dance and music, make the film come tolife in a way few films can. "Black Orpheus" will be shown with subtitles tonight at 6:30 and 9 in thePerforming Arts Center. Admission will be $1.50. Weller Martin (David Clarke) and Fonsia Dorsey (NoraDunfee) play cards in the upcoming production of "The Gin Game." Light drama views age By JoniCamay A play which is witty, serious and ultimately an honest exploration between two multisidedresidents of a home for the aged will be presented April 4,5, and 6. UP COMING "The Gin Game," canbe seen at 8 p.m. in the Old Main Theater. Tickets for all performances are $8 general admission and$6 students and senior citizens. "The play addresses the loneliness, the humor, the frustration andthe need for companionship that every human being faces and which is emphasized with the advance ofage,"said Director of Actor Training at Western Tom Ward. Project promotional director for "The GinGame," Madeline Nelson, said the play has won Time magazine's "Year's Best Award," and the "Golden Apple Award." The author, D.L. Coburn, won a Pulitzer prize for drama.for "The Gin Game." Nelsonsaid the play will be performed by veteran film, television and Broadway performers David Clarke asWeller Martin and Nora Dunfee as Fonsia Dorsey. Clarke has performed in over 30 professional plays,including "All My Sons,"Awake and Sing" and "Orpheus Descending." His numerous film andtelevision credits include "The Red Badge of Courage" and his role as Uncle Tiso, a regular in thesoap opera "Ryan's Hope." Clarke also is a playwright. His "Never A Sung Harbour" will be produced byWestern's theater dance department this spring. Dunfee, in addition to her impressive acting career, has directed at Carnegie-Mellon and New York University, and is a creative vocal consultant for suchperformers as Debbie Reynolds, James Earl Jones, Jessica Lange and Mel Gibson. Ward said, "Thisis the most unique experience that I have had theatrically since I have been here. It's an opportunity tohave New York actors with a wide reputation performing for three nights on our stage." â€¢ PACKS OUTDOOR GEAR â€¢ REPAIRS â€¢ CUSTOM DESIGN â€¢ SUPPLIES 733-5608 S S COASTER 1NIGHT Cocktail specials, T-shirts, prizes.

By Liisa Hannus Very few people candetermine the sex of an artist simply by looking, at what he or she has painted. ANALYSIS"Landscape: A Comparative View," currently on show at the Chrysalis Gallery, displays the work of twoartists, one male and one female, who use different styles and techniques to depict the same subject."This show hopes to create a dialogue of their work and provoke thought and discussion about the part gender plays in our lives and self-expression," said Kitty Brougham, gallery director. SusanBennerstrom's use of pastels gives her landscapes a soft and well-blended effect. In comparison, JohnCole uses oils, which give a bold outline and often uneven-looking picture. Bennerstrom's paintings show various places in Oregon, California and Washington, while Cole concentrates on the lake areas ofBritish Columbia's Okanagan. Both artists go to extremes in their color choice, ranging from subduedbrowns and greens to vibrant oranges and blues. Ben-nerstrom uses brilliant colors equally in all herpaintings, whereas Cole tends to use a little in one and then a great deal of bright color in another. Coleand Bennerstrom are very talented artists. Although their styles are very different from each other, it'shard to determine if this is because of their sex or simply the way they paint. It is almost impossible tosay whether the softness in Bennerstrom's work is because she is female or if it is her use of pastels. The same may be said for the hard lines of Cole's work: Are they hard and rugged because he's a manor because of technique? The comparative show of Cole and Bennerstrom's work will continue at theChrysalis Gallery until March 16. Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Thegallery is on the second floor of the Fair-haven Administration.

All receipts go the Northwest Medical Teams, a Seattle-basedorganizations that sends medical personnel into Ethiopia, said John Hawkins, social issues chairman for the Program Commission. Hawkins said the all-volunteer organization of nurses, doctors and medicaltechnicians was ^chosen after he saw a television show about them. "1 was watching about Dr. JimOwens who said they were overwhelmed not only with the famine but with the medical problemsover there the disease and parasites. "It really touched me to think that they'd (the medical personnel) give up three months of their lives to go over there and help," Hawkins said. The organization, firstformed in 1979 for relief efforts in Thailand and recently re-activated to help Ethiopia, has one team of15 in the field and another slated for departure this month. All but about 5 percent of donations theyreceive buy medicine, food, blankets and child care for famine victims, currently estimated to be about 10 million people. Operational needs of the organization office space, telephones, air transportation and more are being supplied through donations-in-kind. Hawkins said Lloyd Graves, a member of theorganization, may be able to speak at the event but plans were not set at this time. Hawkins, who along with Mark Turner and Gigi Aho of the Program Commission, is coordinating the event, said the benefitrock show is a joint effort of several people of the Program Commission, Associated StudentGovernment, Campus Christian Ministries, the Peace Resource Center and others, including Jensen,Whidbee and Norma DeVecca, manager of the Systematic Breakers.

Today, more thanever, students are entering colleges and universities just to later earn a better wage, not to improve theirminds. Universities, in turn, are obliging their bread-and-butter by offering vocational-type courses andpractically ignoring philosophy, arts, literature, anthropologyâ€”any course where independent thinking isrequired and discussion is encouraged. In a recent survey conducted by the American Council onEducation and the University of California at Los Angeles, 69.3 percent of those surveyed said theywanted to be "well-off financially." In 1967, only 43.5 percent, gave that answer. Only 44.1 percent wereinterested in "developing a meaningful philosophy of life." In 1967, 82.9 percent wanted that.' Even here, where Fairhaven College and a liberal arts tradition tries to usurp technological forces on campus,specialized business, tech, economics, computer science and computer programming are creeping in ata healthy pace, with help from President G. Robert Ross. Maybe this vocational-style education isn't abad thing. Maybe these students also are gaining.from an eclectic environment. One can only hopethey are. Understanding develops from a wide spectrum of ideals, values and exchanges of opinion fromall aspects of the campus community. Maybe Western should stop offering "easy 'A'" courses wheresleeping or skipping is the best way through. At least that way, the world wouldn't have to worry aboutrepeating history through ignorance of the past simply because it wasn't a required course. WashPIRGfunds gained deceptively Backwards logic again has prevailed at Western. This time it surfaced in theBoard of Trustees' decision concerning the Washington Public Interest Research Group. The Trusteesdecided Thursday that beginning next fall, everyone registering for classes will be contributing $2 toWashPIRG unless they check a box for a refund. Not only that, but the students will have to claim theirrebates from a table at which will be seated PIRGers with stacks of literature. That's like a Democratvoting on a ballot that's been pre- . marked Republican, and having to vote under the eye of a Republican. Danny Kadden, WashPIRG representative, said the negative system is necessary becauseWashPIRG won't be able to raise enough money with a positive system in which people wanting tocontribute would check a box. Never mind the fact that last winter 5,000 students signed a petitionsaying they'd support WashPIRG. And never mind the fact that anyone wanting to go through the troubleof getting a rebate is contributing to something they probably know little, if anything, about. TheWashington Student Lobby gets funding through a positive billing in which students make a consciouseffort to contribute to WSL. If WashPIRG can't get enough funding through a conscious student action,then it doesn't have the support it needs to make it viable. WashPIRG has no excuse for its deceivingfunding techniques. wmmmmmmm iBipa||iur^Â§^ iEpjiio^ Editorials reftecttK m^ theeditPf;:mariagihg;e^ ^gned: commentaries-^^ :commentariexare*:weicornedl-:'.;:^ IfH TCM: Ofle out lt;*i(t| ty@$ gt; U)WtS ne .... W M Wtomfoir Kill a Commie for Mommy' Reaganitis starts at earlyage By Bruce Vanderpool Dear President Reagan: The other day a (former) friend and 1 were playing ina sandbox with our Tonka trucks. We decided to each build a city. He would rule on and 1 would rule theother. Everything was fine. Then my (former) friend got up and started talking about "communism." NowI'm not sure what communism is, but it sounds like a long, nasty, foul word to me. From that, he.started rambling on about some guy named Karl Marx (I think he's related to Groucho), and how thereshouldn't be a class system and everything should be shared by the people. He declared his city acommunist state and started salivating like Pavlov's dog chanting, "The East is Red. The East is Red." Icouldn't take any more of his craziness, so I mashed his head in with my Tonka dump-truck. I then tookover his city and made it a democracy. I called it Meeseville (in honor of Edwin Meese III). When I growup, President Reagan, I want to be president just like you. I could then drink Budweiser beer and drive aFord Granada (the car they named after the country you invaded). You are a swell guy. Your Pal, Timmy (age 8) Dear Timmy: Your letter brought tears to my eyes. Why, 1 can remember when I was a littleboy we used to burn Communists at the stake. But, of course, that was during the Red scare. Thosewere good days, Timmy. America was a grand place to live then, and it still is, too. Yes, Timmy,communism is a nasty word. It is hard to believe that it has more than four letters. Your mashing yourfriend's head is an honorable and noble gesture of the strength and characterthat ourcountry needs. Youhave touched my , and America's heart. Thank you for bringing Groucho Marx to my attention: I willcheck the blacklist immediately to see if he is on it. We must stop communism before it stops us. I feelyour heroism should not go unrewarded. 1 was going to award you with a S1,000 loan, but I see yourfamily grosses over $32,000 a year (besides, Mr. Weinberger could use the money to protect our greatnation). I have decided to send you a bronzed jellybean and a hearty salute of thanks. May the force be with you. President Ronald W. Reagan (age 74) P.S. I asked Mr. Bush and he said the country 1invaded was Grenadaâ€”not Granada. Ford must have made a mistake. South African bloodbath?*Beware rush to divestment By Steve Mittelstaedt Any intelligent and thoughtful person who believes injustice cannot possibly support apartheid in South Africa. It is undeniably an oppressive system. Somecaution, however, needs to be exercised in choosing divestment as the means used to bring . about itsremoval. U. S. firms in South Africa employ blacks. Divestment will deprive them of the income theyneed to support their families and will put them out on the streets. This is hardly just. In addition to this, masses of unemployed workers desperate for any potential escape from their grinding poverty provide afertile seedbed for a violent and bloody revolution against Afrikanner repression. Of course, if Americanslike blood baths, then by all means, U.S. corporations should be forced to divest. Then the Americanswho precipitated this holocaust can wring their hands while South Africa devours itself in internal strife.Some black South African leaders, mindful of the potential for harm, are not yet ready to call fordivestment. These include Zulu leader Gatasha Buthelezi and Bishop Desmond Tutu, the recent winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. U. S. corporations should not be forced to divest until major black leaderssuch as these call for it. Since when have Americans suddenly been granted the wisdom to tell thesepeople how to reform their country? Not that the United States should sit idly by. On the contrary,corporations should be encouraged, coerced if necessary, to follow labor practices that undermineapartheid. Tutu himself favors corporate investment if it is used as a lever for political change. Firms suchas Gillette, which sponsors a legal aid clinic serving blacks, already are acting to undermine apartheid,but more action is needed. U. S. firms can raise the status and economic position of blacks, makingthe Afrikanners more dependent on them. This-also would give the blacks more leverage with which togain political power. Blacks could be given one form of leverage immediately. U.S. corporations shouldbe encouraged to support South Africa's fledgling trade union movement. Sen. Edward Kennedy's callfor giving union leaders greater access to corporate officials is a good one. Divestment should be viewedas a last resort, to be used when all other means of pressure on the South African government shows nohope of bringing change. Violent revolution may break out regardless of what U.S. citizens do. especially if the Afrikanners increase the level or repression to maintain their position. But what if justice can beachieved without it? Does the United States need to help precipitate a blood bath? ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 15 ---------- TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 15 LETTERS Graffiti: Look at it this way WesternFront: Daily I pass by the Serra sculpture, better known to people on campus as "the Hershey bar,"the "sign board," or "the big triangle sculpture." Written daily with chalk are the joys and frustrations ofstudents who avoid arrest by campus security by midnight sojourns to the iron mammoth. An articlein the Western Front last December by Mark Connolly pointed this out. He told of horror for those caught by security: arrest, fines, possible imprisonment, etc. He told us that graffiti was vandalism. I agreethat vandalism is wrong if done in paint, not chalk. I also believe that graffiti is art, and the word itself has taken on the n e g a t i v e c o n n o t a t i o n of "vandalism." â€¢ Since men have lived in caves,,graffiti has been-rampant. Art is anything created by people and exists in the eyes of the beholder. Theobjection to graffiti is that it is "ugly" and "destructive." 1 agree that it is, if done with paint to publicworks, i.e., buildings and sculptures." However, graffiti done in many-colored chalk is very beautiful.Passing the Fairhaven tunnel underpass and the Hershey bar sculptur.e, I've seen painted in threefluorescent colors the saying, "Blessed be!" I thought that a Christian theme of goodness dom- . inatedthis. The bright rise of varied colors was as beautiful as the message it displayed. This was trueartwork. My praise goes put to the artist! People are angry at people who subject others to unwantedslogans. I agree. This country allows freedom of speech and press. We let the Neo-Nazis, HareKrishnas, Communists, etc., pass out literature in public. Everyone has his or her own philosophies.Mine is, it's too bad that more people don't make the effort to become true artists and convey messagesto others both shocking and beautiful, through the use of colored chalk on campus. This is notvandalism. Most artwork like the Serra sculpture is designed to give others emotional reactions, bothgood and bad. My only argument for Mark Connolly is,should wegoout and arrest, fine and imprison alllittle girls who play hopscotch by drawing on public streets with chalk? Should we fine those cave men who "vandalized' their inner cave walls with what is now considered great archaeological importance?

Today, in a world ofdwindling natural resources, recycling makes sense. I encourage you to make the effort to check it out.Here is some useful information to help you start recycling. Bellingham is the only city in Washingtonstate that has recycling pickup service. Bellingham Community Recycling (BCR) picks up recyclables at the curbside in five neighborhoods: Happy Valley, Southside, Birchwood, Sehome Hill and Samish. Each neighborhood is serviced once amonth on Saturdays, with the exception of Happy Valley, whichis serviced once on Thursdays. Glass, paper, tin, and aluminum are accepted. For more informationcall BCR at 733-8307. The Associated Students Recycle Center collects recyclables on campus.Glass, aluminum, and paper collection barrels are located at Arnt-zen Hall, Miller Hall, FairhavenSquare, the Plaza, and at all the dorms. Also paper collection barrels are located in many buildings.The AS Recycle Center is located at 519 21st. It serves the community as a drop-off center for all therecyclables mentioned above, plus motor oil, tin and scrap metal. The center encourages students tovisit the facility to learn more about recycling. For more information call 676- 3088 (ext. 3088 oncampus). Ruth Ethelston No respect for local ratballers Western Front I like to play basketball. I'mreally not all that good. I can't jump very well and do not have good form on my jumpshot. But pick-upratball games in Carver Gym during afternoons and evenings have already been a source of greatpleasure for me. However, twice recently I was denied the opportunity to play basketball in the uppergyms, A and C, even though they were not being used by anyone else. Because these two full-courtgyms were closed, I was relegated to gym D, which though old, isn't that bad except when you have toshare it with 42 other people. It appears that the men's basketball coach, Bill Westphal, has foundthe sounds emanating forth from the upper gyms to be a distraction when issuing his eloquentcommands to his attentive disciples. So now when the men's varsity practice, the hoops in theadjoining gyms A and C are raised to the ceiling. As far as I know this is a new policy, unique to men'svarsity, not women's. I am not the only rat-baller distressed and frustrated by this lack of gymaccessibility. Another exasperated player suggested that we get a group together to make noise andchant obscenities. While yelling "B 1!" loudly in unison would have been a very satisfying vent offrustration, I thought a more appropriate response would be a written complaint; hence this letter. Igrudgingly accept the fact that the Western varsity teams, male and female* have priority over gym B(and its six beautiful glass back- . boards) for four hours daily in the afternoons. But for CoachWestphal, even though his brother is Paul, to deny well over 20 ratballers the chance to poundthemselves is unconscionable.

Meanwhile,the deans of the three cluster-colleges â€” Huxley, Fairhaven and Ethnic Studies â€” criticized what theycalled the antagonism displayed by members of Western's other departments. "There's a feelingstudents are being taken away from other departments," Huxley Dean Ruth F. Weiner said./'Departments are jockeying for students." The three deans, along with deans from the College of Artsand Sciences Education and the Graduate School, met with members of the Allocation AdvisoryCommittee which will study their requests and make recommendations to the acting Vice President forAcademic Affairs, College President Charles J. Flora. (Flora has taken over the vice presidentresponsibilities since the resignation last December of Jerry M. Anderson.) Arts and Science deanJames W. Davis portrayed a seemingly hopeless situation throughout the college as enrollmentcontinues upward and the number of faculty remains stagnant. "We must begin to make subjectivedecisions about which departments are more important," Davis said. Temporary transfers of FTEs orlimiting majors might be necessary alternatives in the future if the Legislature does not increase fundingfor higher education, Davis said. The deans expressed a need for a total of nine positions to meetminimal staffing requirements, while only six positions are expected to become available. Davisrequested at least four of the six FTEs. The other deans requested one FTE each, with the exception ofArnld M. Gallegos of Education who requested two positions. Huxley's Weiner voiced the feeling of all the college deans when she said that although her department needed more positions she could only ingood conscience request one position. "We are massively understaffed," she said of Huxley. "The staff is too small to allow for any flexibility of programs." Fairhaven is losing the independent study approachthat was the major reason for the creation of the cluster college, Fairhaven Dean Kenneth D. Freemansaid. "Reduction-in-force is beginning to erode the nature of Fairhaven," Freeman said. "We are having to become more like the rest of the college." As others did before him, Freeman noted the number ofstudents taking Fairhaven classes is up and for the first time in its seven-year existence there is awaiting list each quarter of students wishing to take Fairhaven courses. After listening to the dismalpicture painted by the deans Flora concluded the meeting by saying "the deterioration of higher education in the state will continue until the Legislature sees what is happening." Goltz report pulls funding rugfrom under activities FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Captain Compost and the Eco-Freaks presented a skit inRed Square Monday depicting American consumerism. The four Fairhaven students warned an estimatedaudience of 300 the dangers of improper American eating habits. Literature was circulated as the actorsbrandished signs and threw high-sugar and high-starch products including potatoe chips, soda pops,breakfast cereals and candy upon the ground. The actors maintained that the food industry is orientedtoward profit, not toward human health. More skits are planned for the future including one Sunday evening before the Firesign Theater's performance. Ed. note: Last fall, College President Charles J. Flora formeda task force to look at the distribution of the portion of tuition which supports services and activities[S A]. This is the second of a three part series which studies the report. Today's article will look at theeffects the report may have on depart-mentally related activities. SCOTT JOHNSON IF THERECOMMENDATIONS of the Goltz report are implemented several programs currently funded withS A monies may be jeopardized. These programs, including the performing groups in music, thejournalism program in English and theater in speech have come to rely on the $52.50 S A fee collectedfrom each student quarterly. These departments are now faced with the alternative of finding their ownmoney for their programs, dropping the requirement of certain classes for graduation or cutting out part of their programs. The report, authored by Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz, recommends that if an activity is part of the requirement for a major, it should not receive S A monies. "All I can say is that it is very veryunfortunate for these students," music department chairman Edwin LaBounty said. "I don't know whereelse we can get the money. "The only thing we have ever used that money for is travel expenses andfood (when the music groups are traveling). We go all over the state." To continue the programs currently operated under the S A budget, these departments will be forced to get funding from the instuctionalbudget of the college. And there is no abundance of dollars within that budget. THE EFFECT OF thereport on departmentally related activities cannot be predicted until the status of the instructional budgetis known and when, and if, the recommendations are put into effect. In addition, Flora said the report'srecommendations will probably be started over the next two years. This would eive time to plan fundingdropped from departmentally related activities beginning with the next biennium (77/78 and 78/79). The coming biennium (75/76 and 76/77) budget is already too far along to accommodate major changes.[Cont. on page 2] ---------- Western Front - 1975 May 16 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, May 16,1975 WashPIRG campaigns for student support BECKYFOX APETITION DRIVE next fall will decide whether students will pay an extra $2 per quarter to fund a studentconsumer-interest group here. Student PIRGs (Public Interest Research Groups) are corporations, funded and directed by students. Projects include consumer protection, health and safety, governmentresponsiveness, environment, energy and human rights. Richard Kirsch, who works for Ralph Nader inthe Citizen's Action Group, made a special visit to Western last week as part of his work with students in Washington and California to organize WashPIRG and CalPIRG. There are about 20 Western studentsnow working to form WashPIRG. The campaign begins this summer and if the petition rousts a majorityof students, the group's continuance depends on a decision by the Board of Trustees. The organizationwould sign a contract with the college keeping it separate from the school and allowing the collection of$2 per student at registration. Any student who wants his or her money back receives a cash refundthree weeks after the quarter begins. The reason for this type of funding, Kirsch said, is to establishsufficient funding for a viable organization that can hire professional staff. "THERE IS NO EFFECTIVEorganization that doesn't have effective funding," Kirsch said. "We also want to be responsive. We'vefound that students who are really unhappy will come and get their money back." At Iowa StateUniversity, Kirsch said, PIRG was doing a bad job and the refund rate jumped to 30 per cent. A newdirector was hired and the rate went down to eight to 10 per cent. EARLY STAGES - Richard Kirsch, who works with Ralph Nader, assists Carol Delahanty and other Western students organizing a PublicInterest Research Group. "The majority has the right to tax itself," Kirsch said. "And you have a refund toprotect the minority." About $40,000 could be collected from students here, at the University ofWashington and Washington State University where a PIRG group is forming. "This would mean noenergy by students or staff to raise money. This is not just another student gorup on campus, it is achance for real meaningful input as to what goes on in the world and in our lives," Kirsch said. Sixty-fiveper cent of the student body signed a petition to begin WashPIRG here three years ago but it eventuallydied out. "Typically we get students who want it and we know it can be done," Kirsch said. "It's done allover the country like at the University of Vermont, Colorado State, etc. It is a political decision. "ITDEPENDS ON if the administration is scared of it and if the Board of Trustees is responsive. "Like atWSU, the Board of Regents really freaked out and said, 'yÂ°u know what this Nader guy is all about don't you?' Most of the time we get it by showing it has community support not only by . students." Projectselection is up to the students and often comes up from "what people have bumped up against andcouldn't do anything about," according to Carol Delahanty, a junior at Huxley working to form WashPIRG. "Twice in the last month here, issues have come up concerning parks and the Army Corps of Engineers and people had no way of getting what they felt across," Delanhanty said. "I'd like to see us give someinput on the Scenic River Act to get it out of committee." PIRG would be organized throughout the stateto cover both state-wide and regional interests. "For instance," Kirsch said, "a state-wide concern maybe nuclear safety. Students here might want to research oil tanker problems. People east of themountains may concern themselves with fertilizer and pesticide effects." If the petition drive strikes goodresponse and the board gives it the go-ahead, the student body elects a board of directors on a local level and that board chooses representatives for the state board. There would be a local office and staff tocoordinate local projects and state projects on the local level. C Course catalog hurting from lack ofresponse The Course Content Catalog is designed by students, for students who are curious aboutthe courses they've registered for â€” or will be registering for. Laurie Davenport E., catalog coordinatorsaid, "Students just can't go blindly through registration the way they do. This is a good tool for them." The catalog contains questionnaires filled out by teachers describing the classes offered. Theinformation includes required texts, prerequisites and test formats. Davenport estimated that 30 to 40per cent of the instructors respond to the forms. The lack of response from the others, she said, is theprogram's biggest problem. Davenport said since her catalog is student-directed, teachers may notfeel a strict obligation to respond. One of the changes in the catalog will be to include a page forclasses even if the teacher doesn't respond. The page will state that fact. Davenport, a junior, beganthe catalog program during spring quarter last year. She is currently collecting data for fall quarteradvance registration. Her position will be taken over next year by Paul Gardner, a senior. Any studentwho finds a course which is grossly different from the description in the catalog should bring theircomplaints to the coordinator. Davenport said they will take it up with the professor involved.Anything you want to know about sex KAREN HARVEY Fall quarter, people go in for information oncontraceptives, winter quarter, for abortion referrals, and spring quarter for almost anything. The SexInformation Office, on the second floor of the Viking Union, is there to educate people in the area of sex,coordinator Sue Hirchert said. Leaning back in her chair under a poster of a pregnant man that asks"Would you be more careful if it was you that got pregnant?" Hirchert explained the purpose of the office. "Our goal," she said, "is to provide people with some protection. By providing them withinformation they can understand what they are doing and why they are doing it." The seven volunteers who staff the office provide an ear for those who want to come in and talk. They make abortion andcounseling referrals when necessary and give information on various subjects. "We are notcounselors," Hirchert said, "so we have to be very careful about what we say. We do not want to make decisions for people, but we do have accessibility to all the information needed for people to makewise decisions about themselves." The few shelves in the small room are well stocked with books and pamphlets on contraception, venereal disease, pregnancy, natural childbirth, masturbation, impotency,premature ejaculation and a couple of new acqui-tions â€” underground sex education comic books. The office gets many women visitors who think they are pregnant, Hirchert said. If the womanwants an abortion she must first have a confirmation of pregnancy and pregnancy counseling (usuallygiven by the doctor she visits). After that, the office will give the woman the names of several doctors,from its files. The file, kept active, contains names of doctors in and out of the area who performabortions, the cost, and other services the doctors provide. Feedback on the doctors from womenpreviously referred is also recorded and given out to the prospective patient. The office can also use itsresources to arrange contacts for abortions in other parts of the state or other states, Hirchert said. She said the office does not encourage or discourage abortions. "We are apolitical in that area. Wemostly provide information or arrange counseling. We would much rather people come in to talk aboutcontraception than abortion," she said. Mixed feelings emerge over Goltz report [Cont. from page 1]Overall, nearly everyone familiar with the report has said they were pleased with it. But a number offaculty and administrators have expressed negative feelings about the report. Larry Richardson, speechprofessor and member of the College Services Council, said he felt it was possible to end 4ip with a nice neat chart of how things should work, but it is also possible to end up undermining some goodprograms. "I. think we need to be careful," he cautioned. Jerry Brock, assistant business manager ofthe college and a member of the Goltz committee, said he did not want to see any programs suffer."There are a lot of excellent programs put together on a shoe-string budget," he said. "Now they'll haveto get their money somewhere else. They fear the unknown." FLORA SAID HE cannot even be surewhen the report will leave his office. Although he has only a short time left before his departure as college president, he is neither hurrying nor slowing down the report. "This is an issue of great importance. Itis not a report to be implemented overnight. It will take awhile, not one year, but perhaps two. "It isimportant to remember," Flora said, "we are one place, not a lot of places. Our committment is to provide a complete educational environment." The report also recommends changing the committee make-upwhich reviews departmentally related budgets. Currently the committee is composed of one facultyand one student member from each of the academic departments receiving S A money. Eachdepartment is given an opportunity to justify their budget requests. Once this process is complete, the committee negotiates with the Associated Students for their share of S A money not alreadyassigned to housing and dining (housing and dining currently receives $31 of the $52.50). The Goltzreport recommends two students, selected by the Associated Students, and two administrators beadded to the committee. It also recommends the entire $52.50 be subject to negotiation. Ed. note:Tuesday the Western Front will examine the hows and whys of the tuition money which subsidizes roomand board at Western. Â£ W^^mm^KM^M^^M-MAGIC CARPET ? ---------- Western Front - 1975 May 16 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, May 16,1975 Western Front 3 THE OTHER SIDE - Recently returning from a visit toCzechoslovakia, Don Easterbrook of Geology faculty, told of propoganda, censoring of letters and acomplete loss of personal freedom. Fairhaven grads tell all In the last seven ye^ars, Fair-haven hasplanted 233 graduate seeds in this world. Are they growing or wilting? In other words: Is there life afterFair-haven? A special alumni edition of Fairhaven's Tuna Gas News recently published the results of a survey intended to find out how ex-Fairhavenites were coping with the real world. Responses werereceived from 129 graduates living everywhere from Alaska to Israel and doing everything from bus driving to nail pounding to graduate work. Of those who responded, 60 per cent are employed, 30 per cent arein graduate school, and ten per cent are looking for jobs or seeing.the world. Many grads warnedstudents against placing themselves in the currently glutted teacher market. "Don't go into teaching,must be very good and takes a year or two to find a job," one graduate commented. Other respondentswere grateful for the self-motivation they gained from their Fairhaven experience. "By getting us to learnto work independently without real pressure, Fairhaven prepared us to work well under pressure."Other comments were: "If anything, Fairhaven deals in much bullshit, but this in turn develops the abilityto cut the B.S. a little, too." "It's quite a shock to realize that good things taken for granted atFairhaven have hardly been thought of at other institutions. Stay there." , "While none of the classes I took actually prepared me for the real world, the technique did." "Don't forget to remind all alumni andstudents and faculty and staff that the Fairhaven reunion for all time will be April Fools Day, 1984. Canyou think of a more appropriate time???" Visit to Prague thought provoking LIZ RUST VERY FEWPEOPLE have the opportunity to see what life is like on "the other side." Don Easterbrook, chairman ofthe geology department did, and according to him, it's not all that great. Easterbrook, who is the U.S.representative to UNESCO (United Nations Economic and Social Organization), visitedPrague,Czechoslovakia, from April 21 to April 28. He met with other members of the group to set up ameeting of the organization in Bellingham this September. UNESCO is a sub-organization of the UnitedNations with a variety of interests in economic and social trends. Presently, the group is working on aproject called the International Geological Correlation Program â€” a project to study and establish world-wide long term climatic trends on glaciation function. - The study will also determine short term trendsand variations. Trends should be established by 1980 and will be determined for 50 to 100 years.Easterbrook met with Vladimir Sibrava, the director of the Czechoslovakian Geological Survey, to set upthe Bellingham meeting which Western is hosting. One representative from each European country, theUS. and Canada will attend. Six days of field conference will be involved, beginning in Bellingham, andtraveling to the Puget lowlands, the Cascades, Eastern Washington and Canada. The meeting will gofrom Sept. 8 to 16. While business was the reason he traveled to Czechoslovakia, Easterbrook had achance to take a look at the condition of the country. "THERE IS A complete loss of personal freedomand much propoganda and censoring of letters," Easterbrook said. "The Russians have a subtle way ofimposing themselves on the people." While he was there, a Russian festival was being celebrated withthe idea that the Czech people should rejoice in the Russian's liberation of them from the Nazi's in WorldWar II. But, according to Easterbrook, there is now another kind of occupation in the country. "But the people have an admirable spirit," Easterbrook said. "The young people especially, will not tolerate theimposition. All are exceedingly gracious though." Easterbrook was in the country during the invasion of1968. He says it was sad to see what was happening then as it is sad now. "The soldiers are not sovisible now, not in the city. But when we went out to the country, friends pointed out places where tankswere hidden." He had trouble getting out of the country in 1968, but he traveled with government approvalon this trip. It is impossible, however, for Czechoslovakian citizens to leave the country without a visa,which is hard to obtain. "And when you leave, you leave your family behind," he said. Easterbrook, whohas friends in the country, said it is dangerous for Czechs to converse with Westerners. People are notallowed to bring foreign political literature into the country. Western films, which are quite popular, areacceptable, however. 'It is a different world from ours. I wish that people could go there to see what it'slike. Also for the Czech people, they want to have contact with Westerners."

That is too bad for them and for this state. PIRG [Public Interest Research Group] will ask us to sign apetition to establish such a group here. Then, barring denial by the Board of Trustees, WashPIRG willrely on $2 from each student every quarter. It will involve itself with things like fraudulent advertising,dangerous toys, fat content in beef, grocery and drug price surveys, renter's rights, nursing homes,nuclear power safety, dental care, forestry, small claims court and housing discrimination â€” to nameonly a few undertaken by other state PIRG's. These subjects are of concern to most students but theeffect of that concern is crippled by our lack of power. Special interests and big business have power and they effect government. This power is made possible by the only green stuff students lack â€” money.Big business and big labor have regular methods of acquiring that money. But no citizen group has themoney to hire staff for research and talking to government, they are not organized. But students areconstantly hit with groups and petitions and tin cans demanding their precious money â€” money they have learned needs careful protection from Rip-Off Inc. But this is no rip-off. It is, in the long run, aprotection from being ripped-off by your landlord, your employer and the stores in which you spend yourmoney. Even if you have no intention of becoming involved in the actual PIRG projects, you will bemaking it possible for your interests to be protected by someone with similar interests. And H you balkbecause you think Ralph Nader is some kind of nut, rest easy. He originated the concept of PIRG andthe Nader organization helps new PIRG's organize but the connection stops there. Each state PIRG isan independent corporation with no legal or fiscal ties to Nader. Students alone control the group'sactivities. The only state school actively forming WashPIRG now is Washington State University whereGlenn Terrell, college president, is adamantly opposed. Of course he's opposed, it is a pretty shatteringto think that citizens's, especially students, have a potentially powerful thing here. But it is not aradical group, nor one to be afraid of. Gov. Evans sent a letter to the Associated Students president atWSU saying, "I heartily endorse and encourage efforts in Washington State to establish a PublicInterest Research Group. Knowing the cbntributions made by PIRG's in other tstates . . . " Western'snew president, Paul Ols-camp, is coming from Syracuse University in New York which has a PIRG group and refundable tuition fee. Although he said he would wait until he arrives in July to make a statementregarding WashPIRG, Syracuse hasn't collapsed so it's doubtful he will be opposed. The University ofWashington is having a petition drive next fall also and students at Pacific Lutheran and Whitman areorganizing now. Here is a chance to use our education to be effective, to apply research to vital issuesand determine which areas should be investigated. The only connection to the college would be thecollection of money. The $6 we would give on a nine-month installment plan is a measly amountcompared to the amount spent each weekend for beer, cigarettes, movies and dope. Our money is notbeing stolen or forced out of our hands, and it is refundable. But first, give WashPIRG a chance.

J red brick road v_ JEFF BETTINSONEarlier this week, summer-like weather arrived at Western. Leaves were squeezed out of trees. Wintercoats were tossed into closets. Students swarmed onto green lawns and into Red Square. Out ofnowhere, 16-year-old Stanley Harris pedalled a yellow, three-wheeled bicycle, with a big white box on itsback, over the sweltering bricks of Red Square. He guided his bike near a bench and stopped. On theboxes' side, a blue-penciled sign proclaimed "Ice Cream." Another sign read, "Today's Flavors â€”Strawberry and Vanilla." Soon people started gathering around. Harris, without changing his expression,would listen to-people's requests, then dig into the ice cream tubs hidden in the white box. "Last week,"he said, "I started coming as soon as it was sunny." He explained he began his career as an ice creamsalesman last summer. He stopped selling during the fall and winter. Harris said he arrives on campusas early as 11:30 a.m. or as late as 1:30 p.m. He explained that he attends a private school and has"arranged to get out at lunch time." Asked how he decided to sell ice cream, he said, "I just thought ofit." He added, "Two summers ago I sold juice up here." But, he explained, "not many people buyjuice." Business, he said, is pretty good. He charges 25 cents a cone and said, "I usually sell about 100cones a day." That empties his two tubs of ice cream. However, so far the profits from his business aren't his own. "I borrowed money from my sister to start in business," he said. She is still being paid back.He doesn't live far from campus, he said, and "It's not bad pedalling" his bike-ice-cream wagon to RedSquare. Through our interview, Harris answered my questions in short-concise responses or "Yeah" or"No" answers. He is like the Gary Cooper of the ice-cream business. I asked him if he liked selling ice-cream. He didn't look at me, but looked straight ahead. Without changing his expression, he ever soslightly nodded his head in agreement. letters Blue jeans count unreliable Editor, Western Front: Inoticed with great disbelief the article written by Dorthann Cloud entitled "Friday proclaimed Gay Pride Day." I think it is a great idea for gay people to be noticed and appre-diated, but Lee Thompson's ideaof having gay people dress the same as everyone else on campus dresses isn't going to do it. Perhapsthe gay people will wear blue denim on Friday â€” so does 90 per cent of the student body. If Thompson is actually attempting to gain statistics on Western's gay people, it is obvious he knows nothing ofstatistics or. analysis and has no qualifications for the task. Thompson does, however, make one goodpoint when he notes that the use of controlled statistical techniques will determine whether or not the ---------- Western Front - 1975 May 16 - Page 5 ---------- f^dsf^mpt^^am^ WettenffJtooitte W5 Pftid Advertisement If you are a Christian you do not have to believethat all the other religions are simply wrong all through.

Lewis Mere Christianity n This random list is not printed to prove that Christianity is true but only to make the point that Christianity is intellectuallyrespectable. By the same token it is obvious that there are many intelligent people who think Christianityis not true. "There is no need to suppose stark unreason on either side. We need only suppose error. One side has estimated the evidence wrongly." (C.S. Lewis, The World's Last Night) In response toignorance, agnosticism, doubt and the general intellectual confusion about the Christian faith, a two daysymposium has been scheduled in the Viking Union lounge. It is hoped that this will stimulate furtherserious investigation into the possible truth of the Christian Faith. Each meeting will take place in theViking Union Lounge and will be followed by a time of questions and discussion.

It is fatal to let people supposethat Christianity is only a mode of feeling; it is vitally necessary to insist that it is first and foremost arational explanation of the universe. It is hopeless to offer Christianity as a vaguely idealisticaspiration of a simple and consoling kind; it is, on the contrary, a hard, tough, exacting, andcomplex doctrine, steeped in a drastic and uncompromising realism. Dorothy Sayers, ChristianLetters to a Post Christian World To obey is the proper office of a rational soul. Montaigne Ask them ifany reasoning is valid or not. If they say no then their own doctrines, being reached by reason, fall tothe ground. If they say yes, then they will have to examine your arguments and refute them on theirmerits; for if some reasoning is valid, for all they know your bit of reasoning may be one of the valid bits.

Its not jazz, rock or classical. Rather, the Consort encompases all styles ofmusic, drawing on different cultures and composers, blending these into an eclectic, invigorating sound.The five-man group played its inventive music to an enthusiastic, capacity crowd last Friday and Saturday nights in Western's Concert Hall. During their two-hour set, the Consort performed their owncompositions, variations on pieces by Bartok and Bach and many improvisations. The Consort's hugearray of musical paraphe-nalia nearly filled the Concert Hall stage from wall to wall. In the forefront, BenCarriel and Tigger Benford played an astounding assortment of percussion that included kettle drums,traps, gongs, a marimba, tablas, and even kitchen mixing bowls. Behind them, Robert Chappell satamong his four keyboard instruments and David Darling with his four cellos. Paul Winter stood,alternately playing two saxophones and a sarussophone. As part of their scheme of growth and change,the Consort tries to make each performance different. But, while there was some variation between thetwo concerts here, each performance was basically the same. "BALLAD IN 7/8," variations on a themeby Bela Bartok, the opening number each night, featured a cello/percussion duet and a cello solo.Darling, the Consort's most innovative member, made his cello growl, scream, wah-wah, and purr. BenCarriel appeared to be an octopus of arms as he played 12 drums and an assortment of cymbals. Themusical dialogue between the two became fiercer and fiercer until Darling broke into a sublime solo. TheConsort followed this number on Saturday night with "Icarus," the piece that is perhaps their trademark.This hauntingly beautiful tune, featuring Winter and Darling, was one of the high points ^of the evening. ROBERT CHAPPELL, PAUL WINTE Darling proved himself to be the leader and innovator of the groupduring both performances. Almost all of the duet improvisations included Darling who accompaniedpercussion, guitar and mandolin. Except for two new compositions and some improvisations, theremainder of the program was the same material the Consort had performed here in previous concerts.Their old standards, "Icarus," Jobim's "Canta Canta Mais" and Bach's "Fantasia in G" were the highlights of the two concerts here. The new compositions,"Forest Green" by Robert Chappell and "In Honor ofFreebus Day" by the Consort, paled by comparison.

Such js the case with Lenore Kalapus, number one tennis singles on Western's women'steam. Kalapus, a junior, has played tennis on and off for five years. "I am just beginning to develop mygame now. It has been an exciting spring because of that," she said. At district Kalapus and Terri Zuckqualified for regionals by placing second in doubles. Kalapus feels she gained a lot of confidence atdistrict that she lacked earlier in the season. "It was rather unexpected that we made it," she said. Toqualify for regionals, which will be held at the University of Washington today and Saturday, participantshad to place first or second in their event at district. Women's tennis coach Stan Bianchi will go with thegirls to regionals. Presently, she is dedicating two and a half to three hours a day during the weekplaying or practicing tennis. The time that classes don't take up is spent on the court. "It is a lot easierto put off homework than to put off tennis," Kalapus said. She is majoring in elementarv education with aconcentration in minority education. She would like to teach on an Indian reservation or a school with ahigh percentage of Indian students. She would also like to teach tennis or some other line of sports.KALAPUS TUTORED ON the Lummi Indian reservation earlier this year and during her sophomore year.During fall and winter quarters of this year, she worked as coordinator of the Indian tutoring program.Kalapus, who is from Tacoma, started playing tennis in high school when it was one of two women'ssports offered. She played for Western during her freshman year and was fourth, fifth and sixth in singles. She was off her sophomore year and got back into tennis this year. "I really like the competition. It is alot of mental work to learn to play different opponents," she said. "I quit tennis at one time because of my attitude, but now I am really back into it." Her interests lie mainly in sports. "So much of my life is taken up with outdoor activities," she said. Kalapus enjoys horseback riding, swimming, hiking and skiing aswell as tennis. She feels that women's tennis is still considered a minority sport at Western. "Manypeople I talk to don't even realize we have PLU holds onto golf title LENORE KALAPUS a tennis team,"she said. The team's biggest problem is its inexperience in match play, she said. Next year will be herlast year of eligibility. Although she could graduate earlier, Kalapus wants to stay and play for Westernnext spring. She said the team will be a lot stronger next year because many people will be returning,and they are all enthusiastic. It is no wonder that improvement is a welcome thing, as Kalapus preparesfor the tennis season all year around by playing tennis and running. She intends to keep tennis an activepart of her life."Tennis is a game to work for, something that will last longer than the tennis season," shesaid. Led by tournament medalist Ray Peck, Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) defended its NAIADistrict I golf title last Monday at Bellingham's Sudden Vallley Country Club. Peck cruised the 18 holecourse with rounds of 75 and 72 to finish three over par at 147. Eastern Washington's Jim Zimmermancarded a 151 to finish second individually, two strokes better than Steve Berry of Simon Fraser.Teamwise, Western finished third in the competition. Al Bauer and Mike Haerling paced the Viks withidentical rounds of 74 and 80 to post 154 socres. They and PLU's Mark Clinton tied for fourth in medalist honors. PLU led Western by only one stroke after the first round of play. But Eastern edged the Viksfor second place by shooting the best tern round of the tourney on the last 18 holes. Eastern recorded a 310, one stroke better than PLU's opening round, to nip Wetern by two strokes in the final standings.

She is running in theshadow of former Western track star Wendy Taylor who set an AIAW national record two years ago witha 14.0 clocking in the 100 meter hurdles enroute to the national title. Although Guichard's best time is a14.2, she said Taylor's mark is not a cloud over her. "I'm not chasing it," Guichard, a freshman, said. "Ijust do what I can and I'm not after anybody's record." Guichard will compete at nationals in Oregon thisweekend in the 100 and 400 meter hurdles and in the mile relay. Preferring to warm up alone for herevents, she spends the time "going over the race in my mind and imagining myself better than I am."There are races when her fantasy becomes catastrophe. At a Junior Olympics national meet that wastelevised on the CBS Sports Spectacular, Guichard secured a berth in the finals of the 100 meterhurdles. But in the race for the championship she hit a hurdle with her knee and slid on the ground, headfirst, to the next hurdle. She not only bombed out on national television, she was subjected to an instantreplay analysis of her form. Guichard's emphasis in track is on improving herself, and she doesn'tappreciate the attempts of other runners to shake her confidence. "I HATE IT when girls come up and say ' l am going to beat you' or ask you what is your best time and say theirs is better, trying to psych youout," Guichard said. "It makes me want to beat them more. I never under-estimate anybody becauseanyone can win." Guichard did most of her running for an AAU team before coming to Western becauseher high school (Seattle's Immaculate) had little to offer in the way of athletics. She plans to join theFalcon Track Club in Seattle this summer. She ran in two track meets representing her high school butwhen someone from the league telephoned the school to leave a message when the JACKIE GUICHARD qualifying meet for state was going to be, a secretary didn't know the women's track team existed so the squad never got the information. Classifying herself as an outdoors person, Guichard finds time to dosome hiking and mountain skiing but admits she's not the most graceful person on the slopes. "I'm verycautious and I fall down a lot," she grinned. "But I fall softly and try to land on my behind." Even thoughshe is a freshman and the only real standout on the Vikette track team, she hasn't found it difficult tobecome just one of the group with her teammates.

TRii^iiiill^BlHllil BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Westernfunding millions less than other state colleges By Lisa Curdy The Western Front The state legislatureallocates $500 less funding per Western student than other state universities receive, Interim ProvostDennis Murphy said ' "It's not fair," Murphy said. "But the good news is the gap is becoming smaller. Itused to be $700 per student." This budget discrepancy began in the 1970s when the governor's officerequired all state universities to cut their budgets by millions of dollars due to a major fundingcrunch. Many universities reduced faculty, but left their operating budget, which pays for people and supplies, intact. To comply with the governor's office order, Western reduced its operating budget, cutthe num-: ber of administrators and reduced staff work periods from 12 to 10 months, but didn't firefaculty. "We made decisions in favor of students, and that remains today," Murphy said. When thebudgets were restored after the economy bounced back in the early '80s , the state legislature reinstated other university budgets in the See Budget, page 6 Lake Whatcom initiative unveiled at public meetingBy Melissa Miller The Western Front The Initiative Group kicked off a signature-gathering campaign : for a proposed Lake Whatcom Initiative Saturday morning at Bloedel-Donovan Community Building. Thegroup's citizens, Marian Beddill, Tim Paxton and Larry Williams, are seeking 3,700 signatures by May 31 to get the initiative on the city's November ballot. The initiative's ballot title states: "Shall the city of Bellingham protect Lake Whatcom as a precious drinking source by acquiring targeted propertieswithin its watersheds through dedicated funds from a surcharge on water use?" About 50 Bellingham and Lake Whatcom watershed residents attended the meeting, which featured panel speakers SherilynWells, Clean Water Alliance; David Mason., professor Emeritus at Western; and Jamie Berg, SuddenValley resident. The panel addressed questions concerning the proposed initiative, and asked forvolunteers to begin getting signatures. The proposed initiative' would have Bellingham residences pay $6 to $12 per month more for water use, allowing the city to collect at least $4 million per year towardthe purchase of undeveloped land within the Lake Whatcom watershed. "The question is not whetherthis should be done, but shall we ask the people of Bellingham to give it to the voters to decide," Beddillsaid. Beddill said if any Lake Whatcom watershed landowners choose to sell their land, the city couldpurchase and ecologically preserve it. Paxton told the audience it See Initiative, page 3 Front/NickHaney Tim Paxton speaks about Lake Whatcom water quality. ^^^^^^^^H^9^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NewViking Union renovation designs will be completed soon Vendors' Row concerns prompted delay, revision By Bryta Alvensleben The Western Front Delayed nearly a year, final design plans for renovation of the Viking Union and Viking Addition will soon be completed, said Jack Smith, director of studentactivities. The delay was due to the Vendors' Row protests last spring and an initial design for theremodel that exceeded Western's $14,105,500 construction budget for the- project, Smith said. "Itwas a combination of hearing what people said they wanted and trying to make that design fit theproject's overall goals to unify the V.U. and V.A.," Smith explained. "It required a fair amount ofredesigning." The initial plans for the renovation would have enclosed Vendors' Row and the rest of the L-shaped, open-air area between the Associated Students Cooperative Bookstore and Plaza Pizza. The entrance to the bookstore would have opened into the new covered area, dubbed "the galleria" byplanners. Because protesters called for the area to remain uncovered, Smith said the plans had to bechanged. "We needed to cut money â€” it was a logical place to go," he said. The revised plan willconnect the V.U. and the V.A., and renovate the bookstore, loading areas behind the VikingCommons and interior spaces in the three buildings. "Our intent is to get people to the Union," Smithsaid. "Right now, ironically, 'union' means See Designs, page 6 Students guide Western throughcommittees By Janis Yi The Western Front Western has more than 40 committees composed offaculty, advisers and students that decide how to spend the quarterly $10 technology fee, $30 buildingfee and $43 student health fee "This year we have the highest student turnout for committees,"Associated Students' Vice President for Academic Affairs Victor Cox said. "If s a way for students toget involved." The positions are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis; students may apply any timethroughout the year, and may get an application in Viking Union 227 or online; students may apply formore than one committee. Committees, which range in size from 10 to 30 members, each with oneto four student representatives, discuss and vote on issues brought by other members or students.Chairs are filled by either faculty or Associated Students Board members. They control the pace of themeetings, set the agenda and stimulate conversation. Some committees meet twice per week; othermeet twice per month. Of the 40 committees, only three lack student representations: Sale of AlcoholReview Committee, Sehome Hill Arboretum Board and Senate Library Committee. "The strength of ouruniversity government is based on the committees," A.S. President Sarah Steves said.

As a teenager, he used to drag race on 1-5, near the Samish Way exit and hang out at drive-ins with his friends. Bornand raised in Bellingham, Asmundson has witnessed many physical and economic changes inBellingham since the time when Alabama Street and Lakeway Drive were two-lane roads. "Where BellisFair Mall is, there used to be a nursery," Asmundson said. "Across the street, there used to be theMoonlight Drive-In Theaters. Yeah, everyone hung out at the Moonlight." Asmundson has beheldBellingham's growth with enthusiasm. As cities grow, he said, so does the level of excitement in thecommunity, and he observes that eagerness in Bellingham's expansion. He said Bellingham's growthhas created a more diverse population and economy, and has allowed more opportunities, such asimprovements to the municipal park system he is working to expand. Asmundson'said many aspects of the city have kept him here since childhood. He said he loves Bellingham's beauty and friendlycommunity atmosphere, and he deems the city's location between Vancouver and Seattle as ideal. "Weare close to two major metropolitan areas," Asmundson said. "But we are far enough away that wehave our own economy. Bellingham is not a suburb, and it doesn't have suburbs." Asmundson graduated from Western in 1976 with a bachelor's degree in political science. He attended the University of thePhoto courtesy of Mayor's Office Mark Asmundson, Bellingham mayor for three years, has been active Incity politics since the 1980s. Pacific's McGeorge School of Law, earning a law degree in 1980. He hasbeen mayor of Bellingham for three years and served on the City Council for nine years in the 1980's.He said he is involved in politics because he wants to positively influence the community he loves. Heis involved in several programs designed to improve downtown Bellingham and preserve communityneighborhoods. "We are working hard right now on our downtown revitaliza-tion program," Asmundsonsaid, "and it is working." He said downtown is flourishing as it continues to grow and offer morebusinesses and places to shop. The revitalization program will make downtown a more clean and lively area for community members, he said. "Downtown is everyone's neighborhood; we want it to behealthier and healthier, and it is making great progress." He developed the Neighborhood AssociationProgram to give community members the opportunity to help preserve the beauty and safety of theirneighborhoods through cleaning and building parks. Asmundson said he is striving to create morerecreational opportunities in Bellingham, such as trails and parks. "My goal is to have a town that has energized, active neighborhoods who are involved in the governing of their community." "I also want(Western students) to be as active in civic affairs as they are able to," he said. "We want Westernstudents to be not just a part of the Western community, but of Bellingham." Asmundson saidWestern should be well integrated into the community because it is a vital component of Bellingham.He said Bellingham's population continues to grow because many students come to Western and theydon't want to leave Bellingham after they graduate. "I want Western students to feel like Bellingham ishome," he said, "and I think they do." During his spare time, Asmundson enjoys woodworking. Anornate, hand-made maple clock hangs on his office wall. He also builds wooden furniture and playstrumpet for Bellingham High School's Alumni Swing and Jazz Band. Asmundson said he considersserving the city as mayor a "great honor" and is optimistic about the city's expansion: "I love my job, and I love the people of Bellingham. (It's) a special town. It is physically, economically and culturallyunique. It's just a great city." rC WWU GURs Available from Independent Learning r34 Activistspromote initiative Communications Block B: English 201 (4) Humanities: Classical Studies 260 (3);English 216 (4), 281 (4), 282 (4) and 283 (4); History 103 (5), 104 (5) and 112 (5); Liberal Studies 232 (4) Social Sciences: Anthropology 201 (5); Canadian-American Studies 200 (5); Linguistics 204 (4);Psychology 201 (5); Sociology 201 (5) Comparative, Gender and Multicultural Studies: Anthropology 353 (4); East Asian 201 (5) and 202 (5); English 338 (4); History 280 (5); Women Studies 211 (4)Mathematics: Math 102 (5), 107 (3), 124 (5), 125 (5), 156 (4), 157(4), and 240 (3) Natural Sciences B:Environmental Studies 101 (3) See WWU '98-99 Bulletin for explanation of GURs.

Groups have differing views of how to get a very tough and important job done What is in vourwaters? By Kayley Mendenhall The Western Front On a clear day, the view from the lookout in front ofthe Performing Arts Center is breathtaking. Bellingham Bay sparkles in the sunlight and sailboats dot the horizon. The scene looks natural and pristine. The pilot project designed to clean up the 1 millioncubic yards of contaminated sediment in the bay paints a different picture. Six known contaminatedsites are in the bay and a few are questionable. Olivine Sediment, Cornwall Avenue Landfill, Georgia-Pacific Outfall, Harris Avenue Shipyard, Boulevard Park and Whatcom Waterway are the six identifiedsites. Whatcom Waterway, where Whatcom Creek drains into the bay, is the most contaminated site,due to mercury disposal from Georgia-Pacific West Inc. "The chlorine plant was built in 1965," G-PEnvironmental Manager John Andersen said. "It uses mercury in the chlorine-making process. Mercurywasn't known to be toxic in '65." - In high doses, mercury and other heavy metals can cause serioushealth concerns, including nervous-system disorders, kidney and liver tumors, tremors and even death for aquatic animals and humans, according to a fact sheet provided by Robyn du Pre of Bellingham-based environmental group ReSources. Andersen said biological studies have not indicated themercury levels in the bay are a threat to human health, although eating the shellfish may be somewhatdangerous. Bioaccumulation is a process by which contaminants move up the food chain, du Preexplained. For example, a prey animal, such as a crab, is eaten by a human. The metal contaminants in the fatty tissue and muscle of the crab transfer to human organs. The more contaminated crabs ahuman ingests, the more toxic the muscles and tissues of the human body become. "I wouldn't eatanything out of the bay '-â€” a lot of people wouldn't," du Pre said. "There is mercury out there, it is theright thing to clean it up, but to say that it's ruining our bay is overstating the problem," Chip Hilarides,an environmental engineer at G-P said. "What we're dealing with is large volumes of lowcontamination." The Bellingham Bay cleanup project started in 1996 and is different from mostbecause it is using opinions from 14 different groups: the Port of Bellingham, city of Bellingham,Whatcom County Health Department, Lummi Nation, Nooksack Tribe, Washington Department ofEcology, Washington Department of Natural Resources, Washington State Department ofTransportation, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team,U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyand G-P. The goal of this plan is to come up with the best plan for all interested groups and avoid legalobstacles. "Federal, state, local, tribal and private parties are all involved," Hilarides said. "This is alandmark consensus procedure to ensure the bay gets dealt with." "The flip side is to do it the oldconventional way," Andersen said. "You end up in court. That's what happens." Andersen explained thatstate agencies often have different agendas and don't always work together to find .the best goals. Thegroup is working to write an Environmental Impact Statement, which will outline the sediment disposaloptions. The EIS should be completed by April or May, Andersen said. The four cleanup optionsinclude: upland disposal, which would dredge the sediment from the bay and transport it to a hazardous-waste landfill in Eastern Washington; near-shore confined disposal; confined aquatic disposal withhabitat; and confined aquatic disposal. The last three would all leave the sediment in the bay, but cap itwith clean material. In the past, the DNR has had the final say on the chosen option, as it is the ownerof all aquatic lands. Rep Kelli Linville, D-Bellingham, has proposed a bill that would give this power tothe Department of Ecology â€¢ instead. "The DNR p r o m o t e s shipping it to a hazardous wastesite in Eastern Washington," du Pre said. "The DNR wanted the alternative that would clearly get theproblem gone. They wanted to see sediments dredged and taken out altogether." "This is a veryexpensive alternative, and G-P doesn't want that," she added. "They want to see the least expensiveclean-up. The Port and the DOE have their own reasons. These agencies already have some turf issuesbetween them." Andersen said G-P would like to see some form of in-water disposal and is pushingfor the confined aquatic disposal with habitat. "The issue for cleanup of sediments is if you havecontaminated mud in the water you can leave it alone, cover it up or dig it up," Andersen said.

Although it remains one of the clearest sources of d r i n k i n g J waterin the state, according to study paid for by the city, Lake Whatcom has begun to show signs ofdeterioration: the" acceleration of oxygen depletion; detection of Cryptosporidium, a bacteria thatresults from the runoff of pet feces into the lake; and detectable levels of,cadmium, zinc and arsenic.Land development is the major culprit of the deterioration; increased amounts of impervious surfaces,such as paved roads and rooftops, lead to unfiltered stormwater running into the lake, said Chris Spens,environmental analyst for the city of Bellingham. Without native vegetation and soils, the naturalcleansing and filtration of storm water cannot take place, Spens added. "It's a well-known fact thaturban development has a negative impact on the lake," City Council member Louise Bjornson said."Seattle has a watershed that you can't even walk in. We not only walk in ours, we also play in it andbuild in it ... things which put heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides into the water." Water quality is an issue that affects everyone in the community, not just those who live on the lake or in the watershed. Lake Whatcom is the sole drinking water source for the city, serving more than 65,000 residents.Accordingto an article in the fall 1998 The Planet magazine, zoning classifications in the Lake Whatcom watershed already permit 4,500 to 7,000 additional homes may be built during the next 20 years,which would increase the amount of impervious surfaces to the watershed. Western geography studentsconducting a study in 1998 found the number of impervious surfaces in basins 1 and 2, the mostdensely populated areas of the lake, to have increased by more than four million square feet during thepast 10 years. Bellingham's water is drawn from basin 2. Long-term studies to determine the cumulative impact of development in the watershed have not been completed; therefore, no. one knows whatamount of development the lake can withstand before water quality drops below acceptable levelsand becomes irreversible. Citizen groups and city and county government officials are taking stepsthey hope will slow development of the watershed and increase and maintain the current water quality ofLake Whatcom. " "The future heed for water and water rights will continue to be one of our mostdaunting challenges," Whatcom County Executive Pete Kremen said. "We must put real commitment behind our words in addressing the quality of our drinking water," Kremen said. Bellingham, WhatcomCounty and Whatcom County Water District No. 10, three governments with the most stake in LakeWhatcom, recently entered into an interlocal agreement, each committing to a minimum level offunding each year dedicated to management of the lake and its watershed.

In addition to the challenge of moving upstream, salmon in the Nooksack River faceenvironmental obstacles that could one day make their journey impossible. The number ofNooksack River salmon has been decreasing rapidly during recentyears. The spring run of Chinooksalmon could soon be classified as "threatened" on the list of endangered species, said ClareFogelsong, project manager for the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association. Salmon are limited by many factors, but the N.S.E.A. concentrates most on improving and restoring the salmon's habitat."If the fish don't have anywhere to go, nothing else really matters," Darrell Gray of N.S.E.A. said.Efforts have been made to increase the population of salmon through hatcheries and in-streamincubators â€” large tanks that raise salmon fry in the stream where they will be released. "N.S.E.A.began as a hatchery-oriented organization, but now it has moved away from salmon production and more toward the habitat," Gray said. . An ideal salmon environment should contain clear, nutrient-rich,flowing water with deep pools and clean gravel, said Lisa McShane, coordinator of the Bellingham-basedNorth-west Eco-System Alliance. Pollution, clear-cutting and cattle farming are just a few factors thathave contributed to the degradation of rivers and streams. Pollution falls into two main categories: pointsource and non-point source. "Point-source pollution is easily identifiable â€” it is a piece of garbageor an industrial pipe spilling orange liquid into the stream," Gray said. Non-point source pollution effectsa larger area and is cumulative, Gray said. Lawn fertilizer, herbicide and pesticides are just a fewexamples of this kind of pollution, he said. Clear-cutting removes the riparian vegetation. Riparianvegetation â€” the trees and shrubs on the banks of the stream â€” contribute woody debris to thestream. The decay of this debris adds nutrients to the water for insects to eat. Other organisms in theriver, especially salmon, feed off these insects. The loss of riparian vegetation affects the entireecosystem, Gray said. . Riparian vegetation also controls erosion, reducing the amount of sedimentthat enters the river. The sediment settles in the gravel where salmon lay their eggs, restricting the flowof water and oxygen through the rocks, Gray said. When an area is developed, impermeable surfaceslike concrete are added, causing the surface water to drain into storm drains. "The water reachesthe river quickly through the storm . drains, not slowly and gradually like the natural process," Graysaid. Without vegetation to filter the water, sediment in the surface runoff is added to-the stream. Cattle con tribute a significant amount of sediment to the river. " T h e y level out the land when theycross streams and create a big mud pit," Gray said. This mud chokes the stream, making it nearlyimpossible for fish to pass through. "Clean water and a healthy instream habitat are the keys tosalmon recovery," McShane said. The job of the N.S.E.A. is to get this message to as many people asit can.

New bill could limit logging around Lake Whatcom By Kristen Hawley The Western Front Jan. 27, Sen.Harriet Spanel, D^ Bellingham, introduced a bill to the Senate, which, if approved, will require theDepartment of Natural Resources to study the affects of logging on Austin Creek and surrounding areasnear Lake Whatcom. The bill addresses the controversy of whe-ther or not logging in the Lake Wh a t c o m w a t e r s h e d will cause i r r e p a r a b le damage to the environment. Some fearlogging in the watershed poses a threat to drinking water quality, fish habitat and public safety.Senate Bill 5536, written by Spanel and Sen. Georgia Gardner, D- Blainerequires a comprehensive study on the stability of the land and the consequences of logging prior to the sale of land. The bill calls for the DNR to work collaboratively with the departments of health and ecology to evaluate the area.Opponents of 5536 fear lost revenue from lower timber sales will result from the bill. In order to log inthe vicinity of Austin Creek, the DNR would expand the existing logging road up Lookout Mountain tomake travel easier for trucks. This is a potentially dangerous situation because the geological makeup of the area near Austin Creek is prone to landslides, geologist Dan McShane said. Widening the roadwould create stability problems, he said, so the DNR proposed stripping topsoil above the road, whichwould expose a layer of bedrock. "Bedrock has a tendency to break down quickly, and it could erodeand collapse," McShane said. "Expanding the road will delay the healing process of Austin Creek." Thelandslide possibility is reminiscent of a previous watershed disaster. In January 1983, 65 acres oftimber debris from logging and 8 billion gallons of water flowed into Lake Whatcom, carrying with them anumber of houses and washing out roads. The event occurred after a heavy rain followed snowfall,causing unstable land to slide down Lookout Mountain. Concerned Sudden Valley residents JamieBerg and Linda Merrom devote much of their time to helping the bill pass and raising awareness of theAustin Creek situation. "If they have to do something of extra risk to the already risky geologicstanding of the mountain, then they shouldn't do it," Merrom said. "Money shouldn't take precedenceover water quality and public safety." Berg and Merrom made important strides toward raising publicawareness of Austin Creek's fragility when they led a group of public officials on a tour of the area. Theirefforts saw immediate results: Shortly after the tour, Spanel submitted the bill to the Senate forconsideration. After discovering the DNR's plans for the Austin Creek area, Berg and Merrom spentmany hours studying the effects of expanding the.existing logging road.

The effort to attract people includes plans to relocateexisting student services, such as the post office and the Student Health Assessment andInformation Center, to the union building. Also, food services now located on the fifth floor of the V.A.will be moved to the top floor, where the building's main entrance is â€¢â€” a location more easilyaccessible to students and visitors. "The idea is to create a real community center," Smith said. "Agathering space during lunchtime and so forth ... but also all day and all night long." Genevieve Panush,A.S. vice president for Business and Operations, has been involved this year in the renovation planning process. "The best thing it will do is actually make a comfortable place for students to be," she said."There are technically places to be here now â€” but it's not comfortable; it's not inviting." . Plans toremodel the V.U. have been discussed since the mid- '70s, but until now have never been acted on,Panush said. A final model of the architectural piece that will unite the Viking Union and Viking Addition.Construction is scheduled to begin winter of 2000, starting with the changes to the Vendors' Row area.The improvements will be in three phases, so all the offices and services housed in the three targetedbuildings will not need to be relocated at the same time. "The biggest challenge for us, I think, will bemaking sure everyone knows where everyone is," Smith said. "It can be mind-boggling, but as longas you take it one issue at a time and resolve it, the project overall is doable." The estimated completion date for the renovation is fall 2001 â€” if everything goes as planned. "Everyone expects everything togo really quick â€” but it is a state university; it's a bureaucracy," Panush said. "Hopefully, it's going to come along really well." Smith said the cost of the revisions to the plans were minor, considering that the estimated total cost for the project is $21 million, including design fees and construction costs. The architects should pay some of the alteration cost, Smith said, because they were required by contractto design a building within the project's construction budget â€” $14 million. Photo courtesy of LMNArchitects The new main lounge will have one-third more space for banquets and concerts, and moredining room seating. The renovation will also serve another purpose, Smith said; it will give thebuilding identity. "It will give the Union a reason for existing that people can readily identify with," hesaid. "It will be a much more public kind of space." Western closing $500 funding gap Budget, frompage 1 areas where they took their cuts, but not where Western took its cuts. Western has battled with the state legislature to regain the lost budget money since. "We remind the state that we're victims ofan accident," Murphy said. "That's the historic accident that occurred; there's no villain, but we feeloppressed." "We have had to count our shekels more closely; we are very efficient," Murphy said.Some administrators contend Western has excelled by retaining the faculty â€” the most importantaspect of the university to the students â€” when corners needed to be cut. "We kept what keeps auniversity great," Murphy said. "We'll nickel and dime 100 places, but we fund our first priority â€” thestudents." The budget shortage shows up in faculty salaries and support areas, but the instructionalquality and fundamental items are not affected, Murphy said. The funding gap per student betweenWestern and other state universities is shrinking, thanks to the state legislature's funding additionalstudents. Marginal funding, as it is called, pays Western more money per student after enrollment hasreached a certain point. This may seem to encourage overenrollment, but the two aren't related, Murphysaid. Marginal funding can be understood by comparing it to G.P.A.s, Murphy said. To increase his orher G.P.A., a student must get better grades the next quarter; to increase the amount of moneyWestern receives from marginal funding, it must increase the number of students enrolled, Murphy said. Western benefits from its popularity, as it is monetarily rewarded for the increasing number ofstudents who choose to attend. Marginal funding has reduced the budget differential from $700 to $500,and the difference is still being reduced. "It is important to us that the legislature continue the fullfunding of students," Murphy said. Extra students cause Western to suffer space and resourceshortages in certain departments, Cooley said. In general enrollments have outpaced resources, saidJack Cooley, executive director for university planning and analysis. To deal with the glut ofstudents, the departments become more selective about accepting majors, Murphy said. Westernstill struggles with the budget shortfall, Murphy said. - "We still make budget decisions on theinstructional quality of the institution," Murphy said. "It's a historical anomaly, but we're slowly makingprogress." Committee screens provost applicants Front/Justin Hall Western's practice of overenrollingstudents strains its resources, such as its art studios. By Mia Penta The Western Front The continuingsearch to replace Provost Roland De Lorme, who resigned last quarter, is going well and is just about on schedule, members of the Provost Search Committee reported. The committee has screened morethan 100 candidates since early January. It has made several rounds of review, and â€¢requestedfollow-up information from the applicants. The committee could not share specific details about thecandidates because of 1 the confidentiality of the process, Provost Search Committee Chair StephenSenge said. The committee will conduct off-campus interviews with some candidates; Senge saidPresident Karen Morse had asked the committee to narrow the search down to five to eight of thestrongest candidates. "We are about where we want to be," Senge said. "We intended to discuss apotential list of finalists in late February. Now (we will have the list) in early March." Committee memberVictor Cox said he is excited about how well the search has gone so far. Being the only student on thecommittee, Cox said he is making sure the student voice is represented in the selection process. Hesaid it's important to him how the candidates feel about issues important to students, such as Senge overcrowding, retaining students and maintaining diversity- "I'm looking for someone who has anopen-door attitude;" he said, "who has a background in student needs." "The next. step is for thePresident and the committee to discuss potential finalists," Senge said. The committee will conduct on-campus interviews with the final applicants. With r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s from the committee,faculty and students, Morse will determine who the new provost will be. Morse created the 15-member commit-tee last June to find the replacement for De Lorme; it consists of faculty, staff and onestudent. The members were trained in affirmative action and equal opportunity by the.Center for EqualOpportunity during the summer. The committee had to create a position description, announce andadvertise the job opening and communicate with the campus community before even beginning to look at the applicants. Cox said when he sought student opinions from residence halls and several A.S.organizations, he had to explain the role of the provost; he said the provost's job is to raise money,work for the administration and lbe accessible students. "The provost deals with academics, which iswhat we are all here for," Cox said. ---------- Western Front - 1999 February 23 - Page 7 ---------- February 25, 1999 NEWS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 Salmon may be in danger Salmon, from page 5 "We provide education programs and field trips for schools, scout groups and church groups," Graysaid. The N.S.E.A. is a non-profit organization that involves the community in rebuilding salmon habitat.Areas that need improvement are determined through a surveillance process. Most of the time, theseareas are on the private property of farmers who stand to lose money by giving up valuable space toallow N.S.E.A. to make their land salmon-friendly. "It is really up to the landowners," Gray said."Some of them are very cooperative, and let us restore the stream on their land." "The salmon are acitizen responsibility, and there is genuine concern," Fogelsong said. The legislature is also involvedwith the recovery cf salmon. Gov. Gary Locke introduced a recovery plan entitled "Extinction is Not anOption," McShane said. When a species is predicted to become endangered, the state must develop arecovery plan that meets federal requirements to avoid federal government intervention. "Everyoneassumes the federal government's regulations will be much more harsh than the state's," McShane said. One aspect of the state's plan will include a mandatory 50-foot buffer of riparian vegetation lining theriver, which McShane said is the ideal buffer for a flat stream. For a steep stream bank, however, a300-foot buffer is ideal. "It just isn't good enough," McShane said. The rules of the plan blanket theentire state and do not take into account specific site needs, McShane said. The result of a plan likethis is "the salmon go extinct more slowly," McShane said. Although it is not a cure-all, "this plansets the stage for the next phase of recovery," Fogelsong said. With public recognition and the use ofthe best available sciences, the recovery of salmon has been "elevated to its deserved status,"Fogelsong said. McShane likened the governor's policy to recycling. "Both involve voluntarycompliance," she said. Gray said he doesn't think people degrade the habitat on purpose. "I think it is just ignorance," he said. While the community is becoming more educated, a full recovery of the salmon is not likely in the near future. "There is no short-term solution," McShane said. "Rebuildingthe landscape won't happen within a governor's term, or even a biologist's career." "We have to stopmaking land-use decisions without any salmon thought," McShane said. Drinking water at riskWatershed, from page 4 ensures that commissioners from each sector will meet semiannually to reviewprogress in achieving the goals laid out in the annual work program for the lake, Bellingham Mayor MarkAsmundson said. Taking a different angle to achieve a solution, Bellingham residents Marian Beddill,Tim Paxton and Larry Williams have formed The Initiative Group, to raise public awareness of theDepartment of Natural Resources' plan to clear-cut portions of the watershed to generate funds for thestate. The group hopes to educate citizens and encourage them to vote for a $10-per-month water-user fee increase dedicated to the purchase of the DNR's land to ensure its protection against logging."All three of us agree there really is no other permanent long-term solution," Beddill said. SuddenValley residents Jamie Berg and Linda Marrom have worked diligently for months trying to halt theDNR's proposal to clear cut portions of the watershed surrounding Austin Creek, a major tributaryfeeding into Lake Whatcom. "In the future, every child should have the right to have clean, safe water,"Berg said. "How can we tell them that money from trees and housing developments was moreimportant?" Representative for the Clean Water Alliance Sherilyn Wells works 60- to 80-hour weeksfighting for the preservation of Lake Whatcom's water quality. She makes weekly visits to city andcounty halls and numerous attorneys' offices, all in an effort to slow development. "But if you focus onsomething that's genuinely important, like the stewardship of our resources for future generations, yourealize you don't ever think about personal things," Wells said. Development special-interest groups in the area, such as the Building Industry Association, face the problem of ensuring that homes willcontinue to be built while complying with regulations limiting continued development. Responsiblebuilders and developers can and want to play a positive role in the protection of this resource, saidMark Lambert, president of the Building Industry Association of Whatcom County. The local BIAchapter seeks cooperation wants to work together with local government to promote theimplementation of development standards that preserve and protect Lake Whatcom, Lambert said."As an association, we believe it is time for all of us to work together," he said. "These are the kinds of issues that can either divide us or unite us; we choose the latter." In early December, a new nationalfederal drinking water standard was introduced, along with federal budgeting allocated for cleanup of citywater supplies. Asmundson said it is unlikely Bellingham will receive any of the money because the cityexceeds the federal standards for water quality. With cooperation from all sides, Bellingham is movingpositively toward a solution to halt deterioration of its water supply. "This proves we all have theuniversal goal of ensuring this incredible resource ... is safe for future generations," Asmundson said.Effects of logging near lake explored Logging, from page 5 area," Merrom said. "Any good rain-on-snowevent could wash out Austin Creek. It has happened since prehistoric times." According to a DNRmapping system, the slope of Lookout Mountain rates as a Mass Wasting Map Unit No. 4, adesignation for only the most sensitive areas in a watershed, Merrom said. The rating means the landis at the highest risk for landslides. Public safety is not the only issue raising questions in AustinCreek; spawning trout may also suffer as a result of logging. Expanding logging roads requires the use of dynamite, which could send large amounts of debris into the creek, killing fish en route to LakeWhatcom. The DNR proposes a stream crossing that would allow logging trucks to drive across a bridge spanning a route fish use to reach the lake. Only 10 percent of native cutthroat trout remain in thelake, Merrom said, and Kokanee salmon stock in the lake have also declined because of high silt levels from logging and development in the watershed. One of the greatest concerns among the supporters ofthe bill is preserving quality drinking water, Merrom said. In August, the- Nooksack Recovery Team â€”an organization working for salmon recovery â€” successfully lobbied to shut off the Front/Nick HaneyLoggers work near one of Lake Whatcom's tributaries. diversion water flowing into Lake Whatcom. Whilethis regulates the flow of water in the Nooksack River to help spawning salmon, it drastically decreasesthe amount of water flowing into Lake Whatcom. Fifty percent of the inflow of water to Lake Whatcom is diversion water, Bill Black of the Alabama Hill Association said, and the water level of the lake hitrecord lows as a result of the discontinuation of the Nooksack diversion flow. Since no water from theNooksack River's tributaries flow into Lake Whatcom, Austin, Smith and Olson creeks are the onlysources for water inflow, Black said, and those creeks are instrumental in providing Lake Whatcomwith drinking water for more than 60,000 people. "The watershed problem has reared its ugly headsooner than anyone expected it to," he said. "We have made the mistake of thinking this is a largewatershed, when it really is not." To keep Lake Whatcom's water clean, it is imperative to be extremelycautious around Austin Creek, Black said. "This bill would require the DNR to involve other people tohelp determine the implications of logging the land, rather than look at the land as land to be logged,period," he said. ^^*^*%sÂ«Â«^ifei^; *K. â€¢â€¢â€¢-:â€¢ â€¢â€¢ â€¢--â€¢ â€¢â€¢ .'^ili^-sar your sightson Target.

Current rockets" during the By seventh disrupts class organization, said ing them the second week The Western Front Western may have a different class-withdrawal policy next year; theinstitution's struggle to balance student and faculty concerns in obtaining the perfect course schedulecontinues. A proposal providing each student with two annual withdrawal privileges to be used during the third to seventh week of a quarter was passed by the Academic Coordinating Commission in earlyFebruary, said Steve Ross, ACC chair. The proposal is now under review by the Faculty Senate and the provost. If they find no problems with it â€” as Ross said he expects â€” then it becomes officialschool policy, effective fall quarter. "I don't think it will prove controversial," Ross said. Western hasconsidered changing its class-withdrawal policy for a number of years, but needed to do so now tosimplify record-keeping for the new registration system, Registrar Joe St. Hilaire said. The proposalwould change the current policy in two ways. First, the new policy would allow each student two dropwithdrawal privileges, based on earned credits, provide three drops for freshmen, two each forsophomores and juniors and one for seniors. Second, students dropping classes during a quarter'ssecond week would receive a "W," but not have to use a withdrawal privilege as they do now. Theproposal's goals include encouraging students to drop classes by the end of the second week asopposed to the seventh, offering a consistent number of drops per student and helping the transition tothe new student information system, St. Hilaire said. The ACC hopes students will settle on a courseschedule more quickly if they don't have to use a withdrawal privilege to drop a class during the secondweek, Ross said. Students often spend the beginning of each quarter adding and dropping classes,trying to obtain the ideal schedule. Currently, they may only add or drop for free during the first weekof classes, St Hilaire said. Approximately 1,400 students drop a class between the second and seventh weeks of a quarter, and the number of drops "skyrockets" week as the deadline approaches, hesaid. Students may drop a class when they can get into a class they need or want more, feeloverloaded, are doing poorly academically or something traumatic happens, such as severe illnessor a family death, Ross said. Students withdrawing from a class late in the quarter prevent otherstudents from getting in, causes extra work for faculty and Tom Downing, a philosophy professor.Downing, the only member of the ACC to vote against the proposal, said he didn't feel offering "W"sinstead of requiring withdrawal privileges for dropping a class during the second week provided a largeenough incentive for students to drop early in the quarter. The proposed policy will be more liberal forstudents in giving to decide whether or not to keep a class, but also more strict in that if they don'twant to use a drop privilege, they need to make up their minds fairly quickly, Ross said. "I thought theproposal was a really good cooperative collaboration between the student board and the facultymembers," said Victor Cox, Associated Students vice president for Academic Affairs.

The stories profile well-known people, suchas George Bush, and more obscure people, such as Andrew Francis Renaud of Bellingham. Renaud,82, lives with his see-ing- eye dog, Almond, in a small apartment. "Frank Sinatra died on my birthday,and we were the same age," he said. Renaud is not as famous as Frank Sinatra, but Renaud'sbiography might well be as interesting, especially to anyone involved in financial markets andeconomics. Although Renaud is noted for his involvement in World War II and two doctorates, law andpsychology, Wall Street was his life, he said. Renaud was the youngest person to have a seat on thecotton exchange and spent most of his life investing in commodities futures, over-the-counter stocksand bonds and oil. Renaud loves to tell visitors about his life and the many interesting people he hasknown. His memory is remarkable. He talks about the people around him with the same enthusiasmwhen boasting of his former fraternity friendships. Renaud remembers cocktail parties in New York withFrank Sinatra and conversations with Winston Churchill, but he would rather lecture about how today'sstock market is overinflated and may experience a setback second only to the crash that started theGreat Depression. "When I was in the street, companies sold for 10-to-15 times (yearly) earnings,"Renaud said. "Today they sell for five-or-six times as much â€” which is ridiculous." Renaud divorced his third wife several years ago and had seven children in what he calls "three litters." He blamesexcessive drinking for the loss of his eyesight. Renaud has not had a drink for more than seven years.Today he is as fit as a man in his early 50s. Still, Renaud's children call and visit him regularly to checkon him. "I was drunk for 50 years," Renaud said. Renaud fought in Europe during World War II as alieutenant colonel in the Army Air Corps, and he has taken advantage of his veteran's benefits inrecent years, getting his seeing-eye dog through one of its programs. "Almond comes from a litter that has dogs who all have names that start with the letter "A," Renaud said. He talks about his dog'spedigree, his eye doctor's famous relatives, and the great grandparents of the director of the see-ing- eye dog school â€” as easily as he does about his own.

In thisstory, neither a monk, nor a hell, exists. Motion sensors in a tightly-locked room guard one of Western's best-kept secrets in Miller Hall's bell tower. In addition to playing the traditional Westminster chimes atnoon every day, a CD player plays selected songs, in bell tones, twice per day, at 11:55 a.m. and 4:55p.m. Song availability ranges from "The Sound of Music" to "The Star-Spangled Banner" to sevendifferent versions of "Silent Night" during the holidays. The songs are pre-programmed into the CDplayer, hooked up to an amplifier and speakers outside the bell tower. Fourteen different songs areusually programmed into the CD player for a week-long period, said Del Hubbard, control technicianlead of Planning, Facilities and Operations. Hubbard frequently selects what is played on the system.The songs are arranged into three categories: popular, patriotic and classical and Christmas songs.Most of the songs last one to four minutes. Hubbard said he prefers certain songs. "I have a tendencyto probably play a combination of patriotic and classical." With 180 songs to choose from and a list ofother CDs to order, he said he has "quite a variety. Most anything that you've been exposed to, I guess." The system is used regularly during graduation ceremonies, Hubbard said. Two of the most populargraduation songs requested are "Claire de Lune" and "America." He said President Karen Morse oftenrequests songs. "She has this one that she has an obsession with," Hubbard said, chuckling, referring to "Pomp and Circumstance." Although he has received song requests for events, Hubbard has nevergotten a request for a song during a normal workday; however, he said he would accept one. He saidmost people never realize the same songs are being played. When the week is done, the pre-programmed cycle repeats. Hubbard said the CD player is reprogrammed one to two times per year."By the time we get around to the first day of the week again, I don't think it makes any difference," hesaid. "It's more of a background music, like when you are in a store."

The bell towersection of the building was completed in 1942, but because of World War II shortages, real bells werenever installed. In 1993, the planners of Western's centennial celebration and reunion wanted apresentation that imitated a 1893 lifestyle. A company named Maas-Rowe offered to install and lend thesystem to Western for a free, trial basis. Former students and teachers collected the money topurchase the system for about $10,000.

She gazes at the students, sittingalmost motionless at her feet, while she speaks of the violent home she grew up in, and the solaceshe sought by marrying an Assembly of God minister. Eyes start to well up when McKay softlysays her husband sexually abused her to the point she needed 18 surgeries; yet at the time shebelieved she was only fulfilling her duties as a wife. While she explains how her husband justified hisbehavior because he left no scars like those she bore from her childhood, listeners let out a lowsympathetic murmur. McKay quickly moves to Lyn-dsey S. Davis, the woman sitting to her right andthe bright spot in her life these days. "My sensuous self and my spiritual self became one family inmy heart," McKay said of her seven-year relationship with Davis. She talked of the strength shecontinuous ly found in God. "All my life, the C h u r c h was there for me," McKay said. "The people in the church were not always there, but the Church was always there." McKay and Davis were two offive people who * spoke about Catholicism and homosexuality to a group of nearly 50 peoplescattered on the floor and couches of the Shalom Center on Sunday night. Rev. David Jaeger, whoworks in Seattle, headed the discussion. He explained how his support for many gay and lesbianCatholics grew while he worked with AIDS patients the past nine years. He said the idea of the RomanCatholic Church not mixing with gays and lesbians is false. Jaeger pointed out while many may getmarriedgt; everyone has relationships that are intimate, committed, fruitful and a blessing for othersâ€” which can apply to same-sex relationships. 'All my life the Church was there for me. The people in the church were not always there, but the Church was always there.' Ryn McKay panel memberHe told the crowd the panel had not rehearsed anything, and came "not to talk about the Church's official stance, but people's own experiences." Davis discussed her two divorces, which led her to decideshe was meant to be celibate. She started working with AIDS ministry, which taught her to rethink hernegative stereotype of h o m o s e x u a l s . She met McKay through her interest in gay and lesbiancivil - rights. Davis said both the Trinity and same-sex r e l a t i o n s h i p s express the idea of awhole greater than any one. She smiled and squeezed McKay's hand as she described how their lovedemonstrated God's love in an imperfect way. "I thank God everyday I wasn't at a place where I.thought only a man could meet my needs," Davis said. Ron Belgau, a 24-year-old University ofWashington graduate,, talked about his struggle growing up the favorite son of an extremelyhomophobic father, attending a Southern Baptist church and knowing he was gay. He said throughreading scriptures, he decided that sexual rela-t i o n - ships w e r e n o t a p p r o priate for him, but his own experiences helped him to understand God's love. "Getting close and intimacy are veryimportant/' Belgau said. "It's not a huge loss not to be sexually active." Linn Holley has beenmarried for 22 years and has two children. She, too, lived in a violent home when she grew up. Atage 13, she confessed about the abuse she endured to her priest, who ptold her' to go home andapologize to her father; the audience members shook their heads in disbelief. Even though she feltabandoned and wronged by the Church in her late 20s, she found a church active in social outreach. She became involved with AIDS patients, and could relate Front/Jenni Long Rev. David Jaeger ministers to gay and lesbian people in Seattle. He has been with the Archdio-cese7 of Seattle for 30 years; for thepast nine years he has worked with HIV/AIDS patients. to the many gay and lesbian Christians who, likeherself, felt abandoned by their churches. "People can't get kicked out for not fitting the typical format of a Catholic," Holley said firmly. "That's not what my God would say." While the Catholic Church clearly states sex outside of marriage is wrong, Holley said people shouldn't scrutinize gays andlesbians any more than straight men and women. "Why does everyone have to link sexual activity withgay people when not to straight people?" Holley asked. Catholic campus minister Shirley Osterhausasked Jaeger to bring his panel to Western. 'A lot of people feel like Christian groups discriminateagainst gays and lesbians. Christians can be open-minded about it.' Teri Rutledge Shalom Centermember She said people were surprised the Shalom Center would host a program that combinedCatholics and homosexuals. "There are some safe places," Osterhaus said. "The Shalom Center isa safe place for gays and lesbians." Students Regi-na Goldner and Angela McKin-ney initiallybrought the idea to Osterhaus. Peer minister Goldner said the issue of homosexuality andCatholicism was something she wanted to learn more about. "I question it a lot when I think about anyreligion," Goldner said. McKinney said she was surprised at the lack of Christian response toMatthew Shepard, the gay student beaten to death last fall. . "It's good to see the community whosupport (gays and lesbians)," McKinney said "who are allies." Senior Teri Rutledge, who regularlyattends the Shalom Center, said she really enjoyed listening to the speakers. "A lot of people feellike Christian groups discriminate against gays and lesbians," Rutledge said. "Christians can be open-minded about it." "We were wanting students to have a better understanding how people can be gayand live out their faith," Osterhaus said. "Break down prejudices and moral judgments." Osterhausasked for a one or two-word response from listeners to close the discussion. After a few moments ofsilence, words tumbled out around the room. "Educational." "Informative." "Insightful." "Hopeful."Moving." ---------- Western Front - 1999 February 23 - Page 12 ---------- 12 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT FEATURES February 23, 1999 ours Military time By Carrie Van OrielThe Western Front Free medical and dental insurance, food and housing are hard to beat.

Hughes said CCF has participated in the faminefour times during the past five years. The first year it got involved, Hughes said, it raised about $2,000.The last time students fasted, they raised $4,000. She said the CCF doesn't have a set goal for howmuch they'd like to make this year, but she said she hopes they will reach $4,000 again.

"One major reason why we'redoing it is because of our faith, and that we really believe that it's important not to just say we have faithin God and want to serve him, but to really act it out," Hughes said. She said the reason for the fasting is so "the people involved in doing it can experience hunger. I mean, in 30 hours, you're not evenexperiencing hunger, but it can give you some small insight into what other people face chronically.It's a really good lesson to the people involved about the needs of other people around the world."Hughes said of CCF, "Our role is to provide a place for students to come to grow in their relationshipwith God â€” to learn about Him if they don't know about Him.

After months ofearly morning laps in the pool and miles of road work on bike and foot, the members of Western'striathlon team have transferred their training to the course. The co-ed team, an Associated Studentsclub, is open to students and non-students. Since its inception in winter 1997, the team's membership has fluctuated between six and 14 members. Western senior and team coordinator Aaron Moss, 21,said the rigorous training seems to scare away potential triathletes, but the challenge of conditioning is a worthy payoff. "It requires a lot of determination," Moss said. "It requires a lot of will, and I like that Ineed to push myself and test my limits as far as what I'm capable of mentally and physically." Theindividual competition the sport provides is matched by the sense of team it instills in its participants,he said. Western graduate and team member Jeremy Gerking, 25, said the time training with others who are equally focused is rewarding. "I like the camaraderie that's created between you and your friendsout there on the team," Gerking said. "Misery ioves company, and a lot of times â€” especially thistime of year â€” it really sucks to be out there when it's windy and rainy." Lengths for the triathlons varyfrom the sprint â€” with an 800- meter swim, 26-kilometer bike segment and eight-kilometer run â€” tothe ironman, with an opening 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile ride and 26.2-mile marathon finish. At thecollegiate level, the most typical length is the Olympic, with distances nearly double that of the sprint.Western's triathletes usually complete this in less than three hours, swimming 1,500 meters, cycling 40kilometers and running 10 kilometers. The team will travel to the University of British Columbia Feb. 27to compete in the school's Sprint Triathlon. Gerking and former team coordinator Mark Kendall, alongwith a few others, formed the team after an A.S. Infofair. The original members completed thepaperwork necessary for club status and began training. During the season of rigorous training,February through October, Western triathletes' typical weekly workout has them swimming 15 to 20,000yards, biking 80 to 120 miles and putting their shoes to the road for nearly 40 miles, in addition toregular weight training. The grueling workout may deter some, but Gerking said if s not as burly as some numbers suggest. "I think a lot of people have this misconception that you need to be this bad-ass Navy S.E.A.L. or G.I. Jane type to get out there and do one of these things, but it's not the case at all,"Gerking said. Senior Lynn Morin, 22, stressed that the team is always looking for newcomers. "I thinkpeople just need to give it a shot," Morin said. "If s fun, and if s a good club team." A swimmer beforeshe discovered triathlons, Morin said she Front/Bobby Stone Western senior Aaron Moss rides aheadof junior Aaron O'Callaghan as they warm up on their bikes Saturday afternoon on Old Samish Highway.finds the variety of the sport to be get accustomed to the challenge.

Blue Angels help recruit players By JJ Jensen The Western FrontUnfortunately for the Blue Angels, a group of eight female Western students that conducts campus tours for football recruits, their inaugural season assisting the football program coincided with allegations from the South that similar organizations use their groups for sex appeal to help schools sign players.Groups such as the Georgia Girls, 'Bama Belles (Alabama) and Vol Hostesses (Tennessee) have beenaccused of using sex to lure players to their programs. Those who know the Blue Angels are quick toset the record straight. "Thaf s certainly not the intent of this program at all," said head coach RobSmith, defending the group that first-year Western assistant coach Brian Schwartze created. "Thesegals do a great job. I think it (allegations in the South) comes from people that want to make somethingout of nothing â€” small minds that have nothing better to do and want to stir something up." JuniorHarmony Corsi-Clark, head of the Blue Angels, admitted she had concerns about what people wouldthink of the group before she got involved, but reiterated the intentions of the group. . "I did know thatpeople would think 'Oh, a group of girls trying to get guys to go there for other reasons,'" Corsi-Clarksaid. "We're a group of students that give campus tours to recruits and their families. There's nothinggoing on other than that. We're very professional about how we give tours," she said. Current footballplayers also defend the group and say they would've found the group helpful when they were beingrecruited, but noted the possibility some people could view the Blue Angels in a false light. "Being theliberal school that this is, somebody might raise questions about women's rights, but pretty much everyschool in the country has programs like these," said junior linebacker Dave Josker. "It's nice to havesomebody to show you around and help to get acquainted with the school. They seem pretty nice andseem to be into it. The girls have fine intentions," Josker said. Josker also pointed out that the football team also has almost no "groupies." "It's not too bad here. I've heard of them (groupies) at biggerschools, but Western is more academic than athletic. Ninety-five percent of the students here are from Washington and went to high school together and know each other, so it doesn't really happen," hesaid. Feb. 3, the last day for recruits to sign letters of intent, marked the end of the Blue Angels' firstrecruiting season. Corsi-Clark said she has received nothing but positive feedback. "They did a great jobfor us," Smith said. "It's so important that students hear from people other than coaches. It was a realboost to our entire recruiting process. "Looking at the strength of our recruiting this year, some of thecredit needs to go to them."' The Blue Angels are an unofficial and informal volunteer group. They have no operating budget. Corsi-Clark and Smith said they hope that more people are involved with theprogram next year. Corsi-Clark said there are no general requirements that need to be met to be in thegroup, but it helps if the person has lived on campus, is at least a, sophomore and likes football. Smithsaid that before this year, coaches always campus tours. "We can provide the football perspective and answer the football questions, but with terms outside of football, we have limited knowledge andcertainly we have no personal experience â€” we're a bunch of old guys," Smith said. A typicalcampus tour will last about an hour and will cover most of the campus; conversation is pretty much open to anything, Corsi-Clark said. Tours have been as large as 40 people. "Recruits have said it's reallyimportant to ask us about the things they normally wouldn't ask a coach â€” we'll tell them about partiesand Canada and things like that. It's fun to tell people why I love Western and why I chose this schoolover a million others," Corsi-Clark said. ---------- Western Front - 1999 February 23 - Page 15 ---------- February 23, 1999 SPORTS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 Viking f astpitch ranked nationally By CurtWoodward The Western Front The Western women's fastpitch team, last year's NAIA nationalchampion, enters its first NCAA Division II season ranked 19th nationally in the USA Today/ NFCApreseason poll. "Preseason rankings aren't as important as regular-season rankings," head coach ArtPhinney said. "But in this situation, being our first year in NCAA, we're happy with it." Phinney said hewas also pleased about the implications for postseason activity. To move on to national competition,the Vikings have to win their regional championship. Although regional preseason rankings have not yetbeen posted, only two teams from the Vikings' region, Bakersfield and Humboldt State, are rankedhigher than Western in the national poll. "Humboldt is ranked second, and they're that good," Phinneysaid. "I believe Bakersfield is ranked around 10th, and we feel we should be close to that." Humboldt and Western are also the only teams from the PacWest Conference ranked in the poll. Eight of nine topposition players from last year's 38-8 squad are returning. Phinney indicated new recruits will help hispitching staff. He said two or three freshmen should be pitching quite a bit. The Vikings are 2-2 inpreseason contests, having swept a double-header against Sonoma State and lost to Simon Fraser andCalifornia State-Stanislaus.

This time,Olsen hit a game-winning layin with 6.5 seconds to play, and the Vikings edged the Warriors 75-74Saturday afternoon at Carver Gym. The whole game was histo- ' T h e WJll JS gOOCl ry repeatingthe last seven meetings. "It's a game you always get fired up for," Abrahamsen said. "It's a personalthing," Olsen added. "L-C SC and us have been rivals for a long time." With 9:34 to play, the Vikings led 63-50, but that lead soon diminished. The Warriors stitched together a 19-6 run, tying the score at 69with 3:31 remaining. During the Warriors' comeback, Western played almost five minutes withoutscoring a field goal. It also com-itself. Like the emOtlOnallV gOing mittedfourofits previous meet - ^ ^ ^ ^ f e ; Â» _ - ing between the two teams Dec. 14, - Olsen's assignment was to score with secondsremaining â€” and score she did, but L-C State clinched the win on a 3-pointer with four seconds toplay. "That was a game we thought we should've had," sophomore guard Briana Abrahamsen said. With 13 seconds left Saturday, Olsen took the inbound pass and drove the length of the court, briefly lookingover to coach Carmen Dolfo for instructions. Olsen slithered her way around Warrior defenders andgracefully elevated to the hole for the score. L-C State's Brianne Kottwitz' last-second attempt rattled offthe rim. "Carmen didn't want the defense to be able to get set up," Abrahamsen said. "Everybody putfaith in Amanda." Although the Vikings lead the series between the two teams (28- 16), the Warriorshave won five of Carmen Dolfo Western basketball coach in the stretch, leading to a 71-69, L-CState lead. The Vikings ended their regular season ranked third in the PacWest's West Division at13-5, 21-5 overall. Their postseason begins Friday, when they host the PacWest tournament. "The win is good emotionally going into the playoffs," Dolfo said. The Vikings ended the contest with threeplayers scoring in double figures. Leading the way was Abrahamsen, who finished with 20 points on 8-of-8 free-throw shooting. Junior center Lisa Berendsen had 14 points and 11 rebounds off the bench,and Celeste Hill ended the contest with 17 points. Amanda Campbell led L-C State with 28 points. Thiswill probably be the last meeting between the two teams, as L-C State declined an offer to become amember of the NCAA, Front/Bobby Stone Western forward Kim Bergsma, a junior, fights for a jump ballagainst L-C State's Kelly Lytle during the second half of Saturday's game at Carver Gym.

PacWest tournament Friday Western has a week toprepare against Seattle Pacific or Central for its second-round game in the Washington at Carver Gym.Western to host PacWest tourney By Jen Webber The Western Front With a 21-5 record, the Western women's basketball team will host the first round of the PacWest NCAA Division II tournament laterthis week. The Vikings, who finished third in the division, will have a first-round bye Thursday, then playthe winner of the Central Washington (12-14) and Seattle Pacific (18-8) game at 8 p.m. Friday at CarverGym. The Vikings defeated both teams this season. If the Vikings win Friday, they play for the PacWest championship Saturday at 7 p.m. Western is 12-1 at home this season, its only loss coming in anovertime game against Simon Fraser. The top two teams in the West Division, Simon Fraser and Lewis-Clark State, are not eligible for PacWest postseason play because they are not full members of theNCAA. Montana State-Billings, the Pacific Conference champion, earned the tournament's top seed byhaving the best winning percentage. Alaska-Fairbanks and Alaska- Anchorage universities round outthe six-team tournament. It is the 20th-straight year that Western has reached postseason play, and the 27th in its 28-year history. Western's outstanding season not even close to over If you haven't caught aWestern women's basketball game this season, you've been missing out. The Vikings have had arecord-breaking 21-5 season for 1998-99. All their hard work is about to pay off as they enter thepostseason as a first-year school in the NCAA Division II tournament. Jen Webber COMMENTARYRegardless, the women will need to step up their level of play in order to succeed in the tournament.Looking at the season's statistics, the women have what it takes to win. The Vikings' game looks solid.They run a lethal fast break, control the boards offensively and defensively, and play a suffocating man-defense â€” but the stats don't tell the whole story of a game. As the Vikings enter the postseason, they need to remember what got them this far â€” teamwork. Superstars cannot win championships alone. "When we make the extra pass to the person who's open, thafs when we-do good/' Abrahamsen said."Everyone is a contributor on this team; we need to recognize who's hitting shots â€” who's hot." If the team can play a 40-minute game with the heart and intensity it has shown this year, it will win. If it plays the inconsistent, see-saw game so common throughout the season, they will not. "When you play good teams, they'll come back to get you," Hill said. Last week's 73-70 win against Central Washington wasa great example of this. The Vikings posted a 21-point lead at half, and ended the game winning by amere three points. Even the Lewis-Clark State game showed the Vikings' inability to hold a comfortablelead. The Vikings led once by 13 points and ended up barely winning. "We need to work on keeping ourfocus, especially when we're up," Hill said. "When we are focused we lead/' Abrahamsen said. "Whenwe are intense and fired up on the court, we're at our best." As the saying goes, the ball is on theVikings' court, and they know just what to do with it. Men finish on positive note with big win Front/ErinFredrichs Western's Dave Mott protects the ball as Simon Fraser players pile on top of him andteammate Chris Stevens during their game Saturday. By Justin Hall The Western Front The Viking menheld off Simon Fraser Saturday night as they closed out their basketball season with an 81-73 victory.After losing five straight games, the Vikings won their last three, two of which were against the Clan,resulting in a 12-12 record and, for the first time in 13 years, no postseason. After losing the opening tip, the Vikings showed aggressive pressure defense as they utilized the full-court press. Jared Stevensonquickly went to work and had four first-half steals. The Vikings came out fast and furious, determined notto get behind as they did Thursday. Outstanding play by sophomore Ryan Kettman, who had 18 points,three assists and four rebounds in the first half, gave the Vikings control of the game. He finished with 22 points and eight rebounds. Viking big men Brian Dennis and Chris Stevens prevented the Clan fromestablishing its inside game. "(Dennis) is strong, and we knew that they couldn't stop him down low,"senior Dave Mott said. "If he gets the ball, you either have to foul him or let him score." As the first halfclosed, tempers flared when the Clan coaches-exchanged verbal suggestions with the officials, resultingin one of the game's two technical fouls. "The officials let the game get way out of control," Jacksonsaid. "Their coach was ragging all over the officials, and at some point, you have to put a stop to itbecause it becomes a distraction." The Clan started the second half more energized, blocking theVikings' first shot attempt. Continuing with full-court pressure, Dennis became an inside menace, pullingdown nine rebounds and scoring nine points in the second half. With the Clan trailing by only five points,a loose ball resulted in a dog pile, minor fighting and a personal and technical foul. ---------- Western Front - 1999 February 23 - Page 17 ---------- February 23, 1999 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 17 W^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^m^^^^^1^^3Epm^|Ett^ysy|aji^ :^QMil:ENTARV:? structipngt;;of a^h^ through M^ in Minneapolis/ 'Minn^;|sai^Faifhayen student who is currently wprllt;? ing for the Indigenous Environmental N e i ^ established in1991 to protect indigenous peoples^ land rights;; ::-J; In an effort to lend a hand in suppprt of the MAmerican Student Union, Environmental fGenlteB^ together and organized a successful cloth-nnÂ£fifid|^^ |Â§g$ar^^ gt; al;-:site;;for- :i^'|4^dpt^vgt;: 7^^^:5a#e^-^^ruig";' v would; ,f::: S also |Â£.;:: be'.. â€¢ destroyed in ^he :-j^WtiteST^e;lt;site^;has;;. been declared sacred ;' by spiritual leaders pf.;;. ^ /^iMMS^Mi: the Mendpta tribe and p t h e r^ ' Pallt;x)ta';'tnbes.;:^ ;^;^ The raid and reroute project directlyviolates t ^ Graves Protection and^^Repatria^pn'-^A^r-wldcK protects American hidiah's reUgipus prac-itic^;* and^|^ R l M i ^ |Â£jtoÂ£ai^ 20, (pf ^^^iM/^^f^^ie^qli^ Star Tribune porter Steve Brandt stated jthat?this was the largest such actipn in state history."

The council chose to avoid the controversy about this issue that surely would have arisen and quietly passed the measure without debate. In doing so, the council effectively subverted the democraticprocess that is at the heart of all political debate in this country. If the failure of Initiative 677, a 1997 gay-rights bill, is any gauge of public opinion on this issue, then opposition surely would have been voiced.When a controversial issue arises in a city's government, the council usually presents the issue to thepublic by the council, opens it up for public debate and then votes on it. Local media usually providesextensive coverage and publicity of the issue. This was not the case in Seattle. According to The SeattleTimes, the issue was placed on the regular council agenda; however, the council prepared neither press releases nor news conferences until after the measure passed. No one opposed to the measure came before the council to comment on it, most likely because of the lack of press coverage. This scenariomight ring familiar to Western students who remember last year's Vendors' Row controversy. Studentsaccused Western's administration of not adequately publicizing plans to enclose the Viking Union Plaza.This is not the way government should function. The idea of government operating on the whims of itsleaders and not the will of the people conjures up the ghoulish specter of Joseph Stalin's Russia orGeorge Orwell's England in "1984." The democratic process and the opportunity for open debate cannotsimply be thrown to the wind because government leaders think a law is worthy. Opposing voicesalways must be allowed to speak; that is the foundation of our nation. "There is no way I was trying tokeep the lid on this/' council member and bill co-sponsor Peter Steinbrueck said. "I invite divergent viewsin order to get the best results." If this were true, Steinbrueck and the rest of the council would not haveblatantly disregarded and disrespected the democratic system of debate â€” the core of Americanpolitics. The next time the council faces a hot topic, it must turn toward the fire instead of running to thecold.

King was one of the three men accused of dragging James Byrd Jr. to his death in Jasper,Texas because he was black. Reported by the Associated Press on Feb. 22. ; * * * ' . S f i U ^ FROM"THt Â« * Â«*? 3 mi New existence for religion Catholicism must connect with youths Jaime MartinCOMMENTARY The Roman Catholic Church has members across the world numbering into themillions; yet, today in the Americas, the Church is experiencing a decline in participation. Manyreligions have members who practice lethargically, but for Catholicism that number is growing. A rift is growing between the Roman Catholic doctrine and people's beliefs. Even the Pope is aware of thedecline in actively engaged members. Jan. 24, Pope John Paul II visited Mexico City, where he urgedparents to "educate your children according to the principles of the gospels, so they can be theevangelizers of the third millennium." The United States is 26-percent Catholic, but the number ofthose who identify themselves as "strong Catholics" attending mass at least once per week has steadily declined, according to the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. Young adultsand liberals feel disconnected from the Catholic Church because of disagree- 1... the number of thosewho identify themselves as strong Catholics ... has steadily declined.' t ment about abortion, birthcontrol, the death penalty, homosexuality and forbidding women as priests. Catholic college studentsmay especially notice these issues as they, along with students of other faiths, are entering a period oflife when religion, and everything taught and endorsed by their parents, falls under scrutiny. Ultimately, understanding the difference between disagreeing with a church and having fundamental disagreementswith the religious doctrines is crucial. Two questions may help distinguish them. First, is thedisagreement something that may be changed through participation and discussion? Second, if thedisagreement appears to be irresolvable and no debate is apparent, could you participate in good,conscience? For example, premarital sex is not accepted by most religions and presumably that will not change. '"gt;â€¢ Many religions used to caste out homosexuals, but today some religions are tryingto accept them, even if the religion does not approve the lifestyle. Religion is about asking ihe hardquestions. So go ahead and ask. I Saving money at expense of classes To the editor: Friday'sfrontline, "Students need more library hours â€” now," asks a question I have to assume is rhetorical:"Does the university care more about the prowess and monetary gain of the athletic department, or does it care about the educational needs of students?" In addition to the matter of the library: Look at who'sforced to park in C-lots on game nights. It's hot the person going to watch the game, but the studentwho needs to work in the lab (I'm told the people who park in north campus have paid for it). Sportsevents are also acceptable reason for missing class. According to the student catalog,intercollegiate athletic competitions are unavoidable absences. The answer to the question is obvious. If a school considers it more important for students to attend a competition than class and constantlygives spectators better treatment than studying students, it isn't an institution that values mentalexercise over physical. Ann Barcomb Western student see letters, page 19 ---------- Western Front - 1999 February 23 - Page 19 ---------- February 23, 1999 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 19 letters,from page 18 Presidential letter tostudents on 1-200 To concerned Students: I am genuinely pleased with the student interest in andcommitment to diversity that are evident in a letter and rally flier I received Friday. I am likewisegenuinely disappointed that some feel that the only way to gain the university's attention is througha rally. If individuals are dissatisfied with the level of communication from the administrationconcerning the impact of 1-200, their first step should be to contact those individuals designated asliaisons â€” in particular, Dr. Kunle Ojikutu, assistant vice president for Student Affairs â€” and ask forinformation. A phone call, letter or request for a meeting would achieve the goal and enable students,faculty and staff to help us get the word out about what we have been doing. We have'been workingsteadily to identify and mitigate the impact of 1-200. We can take pride in the fact that thisuniversity's approach to increasing diversity has not required us to use "preferences" as we've workedtoward our goals. The complaint that the university is not taking enough actions and is not beingproactive about the impact of 1-200 derives precisely from the fact that we have been progressive andproactive both before and after its passage. At this point, perhaps our most difficult challenge is tomitigate the concerns some people'have that the impact of 1-200 on Western is large and that theuniversity is less hospitable than before. This symbolic impact of 1-200 presents the most difficultchallenge to our recruiting efforts. Our best strategy to deal with the misapprehension about the impactof 1-200 on Western is to continually reinforce our commitment to diversity, as evidenced in ourmission statement, strategic plans and public communications, and by the increase in students ofcolor on campus during the past decade.

President Nixon and40 state governors have joined with environmentalists to declare it an official Earth Week with coast-to-coast efforts to solve local environ mental problems. Robert Sweeney, director of the Great LakesLaboratory in Buffalo, New York, has pointed out the need to direct individuals toward solving these localproblems. LOW-KEYED LOCAL ACTIVITIES Western's observance is low-keyed, partly at the wishes of campus eco-activists like Lynn Cornelius who doesn't want any "carnival-like activities which allowpeople attend one or two events and then go home feeling good about what they have done." Studentswill assist State Highway Department mainten ance crews with cleaning up the freeway from BellinghamVancouver, Wash. to Students will also join local townspeople in a clean-up of Whatcom Creek inpreparation for a fall tree planting. In the future, the city plans to turn the brushy creek banks into a linearpark. EVANS TO VISIT Gov. Dan Evans will address a Huxley College workshop at 2:30 p.m. Fridayin the Music Auditorium. It will be open to the public. The workshop is entitled "Environmental Educationand the Public Schools" and will deal with the role of public education in helping to solve environmentalproblems.

There is a seven day interim per month when she takes the placebo. She has a period of about three to four days duration. If intercourse occurs after the menstrual flow and before pilltaking is resumed, what will the chance of pregnancy be? ANSWER: The chance of pregnancy will bethe same as if she has intercourse during any other time a month when she* is taking the pill. When the pill is taken as directed, ovulation is under the hormonal control of the pill. Even though the pill isstopped so that bleeding can occur, ovulation does not resume. As I have indicated before, the pills aregiven in such a way that bleeding occurs with a frequency that resembles a normal menstrual cycle.Much of this is for psychological reasons. QUESTION: I am a 22 year old male who enjoys thecontemporary long hair styles for men. I have worn my hair shoulder length for over two years now. Myproblem is that in order to keep it decent looking, I have to wash it every day and I seem to be losingmore hair than is normal as a result. I've tried about every type of shampoo, nothing seems to keep itlooking nice for more than one day. Any suggestions? ANSWER: About five per cent of the hair in yourhead is setting there fairly loosely attached. Hair follicles go through periods of growth and rest. Thisexplains why it is possible to pull some loose hairs from your head at any given time. Obviously, thelonger your hair is, the more apparent it will be when some of it comes out. Most people can toleratewashing their hair fairly frequently, but you may be doing it too often and causing it to dry out which onlycauses hairs to break off. I would suggest using Prell, a high quality shampoo that gives you about themost for your money. Try washing your hair every other day or every third day and brushing it carefullyon the between days. Many of the fancy and expensive shampoos and rinses are of no more value thancheaper ones and some are quite harsh. QUESTION: The other night we went to a drive-in movie andsomething strange happened. The manager went over to a car, then ran back to his office. Not longafterwards an ambulance arrived and a couple was carried off on the same stretcher. The manager latertold us that the couple was locked in sexual intercourse. I was wondering if it is possible to get stuck insuch a way, what the physical reason is for it, and how can it be avoided. I don't see how it's possible.ANSWER: Various animals have modifications of the basic sexual apparatus which permit them to haveintercourse under difficult situations without coming apart. The male dog, for instance, is equipped with a penis whose glans (the bulb-like end of the organ) expands greatly in size after insertion into thevagina, thus locking the animals together. Human beings generally do not stand up when they haveintercourse and have b e e n able to propagate successfully without the canine type 0f" sexual device.Misinformation makes one gullible.

Code of Conduct Rapped; Meeting Set for TodayThe Student Conduct Committee will answer questions concerning the proposed college code of conductat 3 p.m. today in Viking Union 354. A total of 26 grievances have been made since the document wasreleased last month, Larry Diamond, AS non-academic coordinator, said last week. A meeting lastmonth revealed that many students were concerned that the document had the appearance of being"repressive," Diamond said. "The most outcry from students was leveled against the demonstrationpolicy. "What is a peaceful demonstration?" Jim Hanson, a junior sociology-anthropology major fromKent asked. He charged that the code of conduct violated the First Amendment guarantee of free speechand freedom of assembly. Hanson said the code of conduct was discriminatory in that it specificallyoutlined what students could be expelled for but made no mention of faculty or staff. "Anything worthapplying to students is worth applying to everyone," he said. AS Legislator John McDonell, a seniorpolitical science major from Gig Harbor said he could accept the proposed code if it was not "so vague."Who decides if a poster is obscene or slanderous?" he asked. Both Hanson and McDonell called for the inclusion of a student bill of rights to guarantee certain freedoms for students. "There is no mention ofthe rights of individuals," Hanson said. Hanson said that the proposed judicial board's actions could bedouble jeopardy, especially in drug cases. "Anything punishable in civil courts should not be handled bythe campus judiciary," he said. Associated Students has asked for an opinion on the constitutionality ofthe code, Diamond said. The meeting today will be open for any interested student to air his complaintsor reservations about the document. "I urge all students to go to this meeting," Diamond said. Narcotics Raid Prompts Permanent Defense Fund A permanent bail and defense fund is being organized bymembers of the South Bellingham community and a number of students in the wake of last week's city-wide drug raid. Following a weekend round of benefit picnics and concerts, spokesmen for the eightBellingham residents and students netted in the Wednesday night raids said they had raised about $700 and indicated they were earmarking part of the money for a permanent fund. They said the money wouldbe used to hire lawyers to defend the eight and added that the remainderâ€”they intend to continuecollecting fundsâ€”would be banked against possible future needs. The benefits were held Friday at Toad Hall, where an auction raised some $200; Saturday in Red Square, where an i m p r o m p t u danceraised an undetermined amount of money, and Sunday at Larrabee State Park, where a box lunch social raised an additional undetermined amount. Persons close to those who were arrested said theyunderstood the raid was the "first of many planned by local authorities." While college officials publicly.remained silent, it was learned they were unofficially confirming what had long been suspected by thestudent body: that narcotics agents and m e m b e r s of the v a r i o us counter-intelligence services are active, and in substantial numbers, in the South Bellingham community and on the campus. Thosewho were arrested were freed on bail Friday after being arraigned on charges of felonious sale andpossession of dangerous drugs. Bail was $2,000 per person in each case, and the eight were free byFriday night. Bail was posted by friends and relatives. S e v e r a l p e r s o n s in thecommunityâ€”none wanted to be quoted by nameâ€”said they thought the arrests had brought thecommunity closer together and closer to the young people on the campus. "If the establishment wantedto make us suspicious of one another by planting agents in our midst," one said, "they fucked up. Allthis did was get us working and talking together. We're more united than we've been in a long time . . .and we're just getting started." Dean Selection Committee Solicits Campus Nominations The newcommittee appointed to find a person to replace Dean of Western Fred Knapman is solicitingnominations from the campus community, Alta Hansen, associate professor of women's physicaleducation, said Friday. Dr. Hansen, chairman of the new Dean Selection Committee, said that due to the failure of the previous committee to find a candidate from outside the Western community, the newcommittee was looking "internally." Nominations of Western faculty may come from any aspect of thecommunity, and should be sent to Dr. Hansen before Friday. Other faculty members of the committeeare Roland DeLorme, associate professor of history; Neil Gray, associate professor of mathematics, and Robert McCracken, professor of education. Xhe two student members are Larry Phalan, a senior historymajor from Bellingham, and Jim Stevens, a sophomore accounting major from Tukwila. The originalcommittee was dissolved by President Charles J. Flora after it reported it had been unsuccessful in fillingthe position from outside Western. Knapman assumed the position last summer when it was createdwith the impression that it would be a temporary position until a full-time dean could be appointed. Heannounced earlier this year that he hoped to be replaced by the end of this quarter and return to hisfaculty position as professor of chemistry. Teacher Corps Representative Seeking Graduates ForSummer The five-year-old Teachers Corps has recently estabiisned a joint program with the Peace Corps to train and provide certified teachers for a combined U.S.â€”overseas program to begin this summer.Teacher Corps, an organization similar to Peace Corps or VISTA, sends teachers on group experimentsto universities and public and private grade and secondary schools in the United States and Puerto Rico.The teachers spend their tours helping out in education reorganization programs. In the joint TeacherCorps-Peace Corps program approximately 120 to 140 graduate-level interns will be recruited to serveone year in Teacher Corps in the United States followed by two years as Peace Corps volunteers with full professional teaching credentials. After the three-year tour, the interns would return to the United States to continue their teaching careers in the ghettos, barrios, reservations and low-income areas whereTeacher Corps projects are centered. The "program is seeking math, science and English graduates ofwhich 30 to 50 per cent must be minorities. Pre-service starting date is June 15, so anyone interested injoining the program or receiving further information about it may contact, the Teacher Corps representative on campus, in Miller Hall 403. , ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 20 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, April 20, 1971 Western Front National Peace Action Week Underway Marches in SeattleSaturday marked the beginning of National Peace Action Week which will end next Saturday with massmarches in Washington, B.C., and San Francisco. The planned rally in the nation's capital is billed asthe "largest single political gathering in American history." Rally sponsors hope to draw more than the250,000 that came to Washington, D.C., Nov. 15, 1969, for the largest anti-war demonstration to date.The National Peace Action Coalition, sponsors of the nationwide activities, have received endorsementsnumbering more 1.25 million people for mass marches, including two major labor unions, women'sgroups, war vets and enlisted GIs. Man-in-the-Street T h e W a s h i n g t o n , B.C., demonstration willbegin with an assembly at the Ellipse, followed by a march along Pennsylvania Avenue and a three-hourrally at the Capitol. The main focus of the event, according to rally planners, will be on President Nixon,as commander-in-chief, to end the war. They added that if Congress would cut off funds there would beno United States involvement in SoutheastAsia. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, as president of theSenate, gave permission Thursday for the rally to be held on the west front of the Capitol. Peace ActionWeek will also signal the beginning of peace initiative campaigns in major cities throughout the countrywhich, if validated, will allow citizens to vote on the war next November. Local groups working with thenational coalition, the Student Mobilization Committee and Bellingham People's Coalition, have plannedlocal marches and activities of their own to support the peace movement. Movies, panels, and speakersduring the week will emphasize the effect the war has on all the people of the world, with specialemphasis on the Third World, GIs and vets, women and high schoolers.

"Is that the one where they're firing all the professors?" one student said, lookingworried. Most knew it had something to do with no grades or no finals, but weren't sure about theinterdepartmental major change. One person said, "I don't know much about it, but I don't think thechange will do any good." Western students interviewed expressed satisfaction with the idea of generaleducation reform here, but specific points, such as pass-no-pass and interdepartmental majors weremost "controversial." "I think the ideas are really good to begin with. But it can't go through all at once.The faculty will o b j e c t to t h e b r e a k d o w n of departments-professional pride and jealousy," Anne Snelgrove, a sophomore undecided major from Pullman said. Pete Murphy, a sophomore English majorfrom Bellingham, said that the pass-no-pass will be a good idea â€”"the college wouldn't be ascompetitive." He also said he thought the major was a good idea and was hesitant about theinterdepartmental majors. "The major as it is now is a good idea. You get a broad spectrum which isnarrowed down," he said. But he found a wide range of knowledge also a good thing. Janie Dillon, asophomore art major from Seattle, said, "I think it should definitely pass. The way schools are set upnow, there is very little academic freedom. The students want this change. It has the students in mind."She thought the inderdepartmental disciplines were a good idea, if enough knowledge could be put into it, so as not to make them a "general" general educational course format. "If you go four months at a time,there's too long in between," said Dave Byrd, a sophomore geology major from Seattle. He said, "Pass-no-pass should be optional to the students if they want it. What if they want to transfer to anotherschool?" Merrie O'Meara, a senior soc/anth major from Bellingham, said, "On the whole, it's pretty good. But I don't think the pass-no-pass will work, for transferring grades, for getting jobs. In a way, no gradesare a good idea. I've been psyched into doing a good job. Not so much stress should be put on grades."I really don't know what it's all about. But I'd be against changing the college too much," Dean Corbett, a junior industrial design major from Seattle said. He felt there were advantages for and against gradesMURPHY BYRD Curriculum Report May 1 is the deadline for college community response to theCurriculum Commission Report. The Curriculum Commission was established by the Long RangePlanning Committee to "recommend better and less costly ways of carrying forward the instructionalprograms of the college." The Commission's controversial report calls for a number of sweeping changes,among them replacement of the quarter system by semesters and abolishment of departments in favor ofarea concentrations based on the "Concerns of Man." DILLON CORBETT A Man Named Kinte ALEXHALEY It was a little after three Friday afternoon when Alex Haley walked up to the microphone in theViking Union lounge and started to tell a story, and by 4:30 he came to the end. But during that hour anda half, his story had weaved through centuries like a Persian rug, jumping from the 1700's to the present,tying together the story's gap without effort. It was a story within a story, the kind of story that people will say, "You had to be there to hear it, I can't tell it." It was a story about a man, about a race and a sagaof a people. And it was about how Alex Haley uncovered the facts for his new book, Before This Anger. It began when Haley was a littly boy, sitting on the front porch of his parent's home in Tennessee, listening to his relatives talk about a man named "Kinte," a slave who was brought to Maryland in the 1760's. The man named Kinte talked in an African dialect, calling trees by different names and he would point to theriver and say, "Kamby; Bolongo." Kinte would tell about when he was captured while chopping wood near his village and dragged aboard a ship. The slave escaped three times, Haley said, and when heescaped the fourth time, the plantation owner cut off his foot as punishment. Kinte stayed at theplantation and married a woman named Belle, The Big House Cook and they had a daughter namedKizzy. When Kizzy grew up, she told her children about her father named Kinte, who called the riverKamby Bolongo. And as her children grew up they also told about the man named Kinte. And so thestory was passed, from generation to generation until it was told on the front porch of a house inTennessee. And so the story might have ended, only to be passed between a small group of people,except that Alex Haley grew up to have an enormous thirst to find out about the man named Kinte whocalled the river Kamby Bolongo. The book Before This Anger will be published this September and willtell about the man named Kinte, a -man â€¢ who- was captured- while- chopping - wood near his village. ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 20 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, April 20, 1971 We're Number Oneâ€” We Tried Harder The Western Frontwas named the top four-year college newspaper in Washington State at Sigma Delta Chi's 27th annualawards for professional journalism in Seattle Saturday night. Representatives of the national journalisticsociety judged the Front first place among both state university dailies, the two state college weeklies,the other competing four-year college newspapers in the state. The Front placed second last year. Thelast time the campus newspaper here placed first in the state was in 1962. Front Editor John Stolpecongratulated his staff, adding "we were second place last year and look what happens when you tryharder." Second place this year went to Central Washington's Campus Crier, and third was awarded toEastern Washington's Easterner. The University of Washington Daily, first in the state last year, did notplace. The Bellingham Herald won third place in the editorial category with the Seattle Times first and the Vancouver Columbian second. Ron DeHart of KBFW radio in Bellingham won second for special reporting in radio*news. The awards were based on more than 1,000 entries from daily and weekly newspapers,television and radio stations, and student publications. Front Editorials... "To comfort the afflicted and toafflict the comforted" Earth Week One year ago we urged our readers to participate in the nationwideEarth Day activities, warning them that "Earth Day must last forever" if this planet is to survive. Thanksto publishers and politicians searching for a non-Vietnam issue, entrepreneurs looking for a fast buck,and a growing number of environmentally aware citizens, the nation's attitude toward its environment has abruptly changed. The year that passed was a progressive one for local and national eco-activists.Huxley College of Environmental Studies opened its doors on an entire new era of environmentaleducation and Fairhaven students nursed Initiative 256 (ban the non-returnable bottle) on the ballot with a record number of signatures, even though the state's voters were swayed by a questionable highpressure, big business campaign against it. Student letters and postcards helped stall an Army Corps of Engineers permit granting the Atlantic-Richfield Company an okay to dump effluent wastes into PugetSound off their new Cherry Point refinery. And many state beer and pop distributors are buying back their cans and bottles in what seems to be a serious effort to help clean up our litter-strewn roadways. In one magic year we have managed to change people's minds. The environment controversy is not simply afad which will die out in a few months or years. People are becoming acutely aware that to ignore ourenvironmental dilemma is to ignore life itself. The future battles have yet to come, though. The American SST is dead, but foreign SST sonic booms will probably shake our countrysides within the decade. TheSST defeat was more of a victory for those seeking to re-shuffle our national priorities rather than avictory for the environmentalists. And the oil situation is far from settled for Puget Sounders. We arebeing warned from experts that one super tanker oil spill in the sound will spell total disaster for ourregion. So again, we urge our readers to do something personal about our environment this week andevery week. Write a letter, plant a tree, give up your car on short trips, and recycle your bottles and cans. Together we can do it. -John Stolpe EDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron GrahamASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor PHOTO EDITOR: Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss COPY EDITOR: Jim Austin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Marie Haugen SPOflTS EDITOR: LarryLemon STAFF REPORTERS: GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: Glen Jones, Jim Thomson, Pat Brennen,Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.

It should, however, because of its possibleimpact, be read by all who care about the college. The report is so pompous, pretentious and dogmaticthat it's actually funny and interesting reading. The report has several corny f i g u r e s of speech andsimple-minded analogies. Two examples: (1) "In short, we are being asked to assure a future forgenerations still in the womb of time"; (2) "The proper source of energy, the necessary fuel, for thedevelopment of brain power is 'knowledge'." But the most striking aspect of the report is its philosophy.One of its guiding principles: "The development of 'free and first class minds, attached to a compellingsocial consciousness,' is the primary mission of the college." Would you want your mind "attached"?Mind attachment, by any name, is indoctrination, and attached minds are not free mind. The report, soconcerned with "social consciousness" and "brain power," never mentions curiosity, although curiosity is the strongest drive behind great thinking. The Commission further recommends that one of the"missions" of Western be: "The development of cadres of young men and women equipped by e d u c a t i o n , training and commitment to confront problems and find solutions." How many of us wish to bechanneled into a "cadre?" Many may wish to join the Peace Corps, Vista, Nader's Raiders, etc., butsurely the purpose of college is not to program people for such assignments. A question which shouldbe of vital concern to students: Why have " A r e a s of Concentration?" The areas are such arbitraryhodgepodges that I can see no basis for requiring them, certainly not on the basis of the Commission'stheme, "Concerns of Man." Whether the Commission realizes it or not, all fields of knowledge areconcerns of men. The Commission may feel that it knows what is of most concern to man, but you may have a very different idea of what is of most concern to you. Why be. forced to concentrate in one of thesocial problems c a m p s ? Why not truly revolutionize the system and let those students who want totailor their own curriculum? Finally, what about the proposed "curriculum free of d u p l i c a t i o n , e s o t e r ic non-essentials, and spurious specialized contributions?" What will be the fate of esoteric e s se n t i a l s and important specialized contributions? Students will be paying more for a system withfewer courses to choose from and fewer depth courses. Senior year may turn out to be like looking inthe movie guide only to find that all of the theatres are playing Mickey Mouse. With increasingautomation and use of computers, many middle executive and teaching positions will be eliminated inthe seventies. A college which bars its students from learning the "esoteric" essentials of importantfields will find its graduates faring poorly in the increasingly stiff competition for jobs. Robert QuigleyAssistant professor of physics Editor: In my discussion with s t u d e n t s concerning the C u r r i c u lum Commission's report, I have found one recurrent objection. It is that the semester system wouldallow much less time for students to work during the summer. This argument however is incorrect. Thepresent system allows 15 weeks for work during the summer. The proposed 4-1-4 system, becausevacation starts in mid-May, would allow 13 weeks. Admittedly then there would be a slight loss of worktime were we to go to semesters. An alternate proposal to the 4-1-4 system however is the 4-4-1. Underthis proposal, the voluntary intercession would come after the spring semester. Those who chose towork during that time would be able to start work in the beginning of May and work for 17 weeks ratherthan 15. Don't be snowed by the "rumor folks, semesters aren't as bad as you think. David P. StoebelSenior Psychology Editor: The Curriculum Commission Report promises to break down theadministrative barriers that stand between departments. The proposal is an anti-toxin, designed to fight a growth of academia which is out of controlâ€”silence. A p p a r e n t l y the 27 departments on thiscampus don't communicate with one another. In cases where there should be inter-departmentalcommunication, there is none. The people in Cross-Cultural Research (psychologists) for e x a m p l e ,and those in anthropology would benefit from a close relationship, but they don't communicate. Thedivision of courses into areas of concentration instad of the present departments would get these peopleworking together. Stephen Callihan Freshman Editor: I have experienced mixed feelings about the new proposed curriculum, but now I am definitely for it. Too many people are scared of any change oncampus, but this is not a real change, it is a reform which is badly needed. It is not like throwing alleducation out the window, rather taking only the best parts and presenting them in a scope which willinvolve the student in his education. After all, didn't we come here for t h a t , an education? This reformis education in the making. Let's all get in on the benefits, and support it. Steve Morrison FreshmanEducation Approves Daugert Proposal Editor: Writing about the Daugert proposal for college governance in the April 9 Western Front, Provost Frederick Sargent found reason to oppose the plan now before usbecause the "authority proposed for the Academic C o o r d i n a t i n g Commission negates the relative autonomy g r a n t e d the three new u n d e r g r a d u a t e divisions â€” Fairhaven, Huxley and theCollege of Ethnic Studies-by their charter statements which have been approved by the Board ofTrustees." In the undated report of his C u r r i c u l u m Commission (released by the President onMarch 25) the Provost equates the three cluster colleges with six other concentrations (all nine have acommon general e d u c a t i o n program) and advocates the "superordinate to these directors (directors of concentrations) a committee of the college would need to be formed to review new programs andproposals and to prevent the renewed proliferation of courses." That is, of course, exactly what theAcademic Coordinating Commission gt;; jpropqsed, ,by., the -,. Daugert Committee would do incoordinating programs of the still relatively autonomous colleges of Western. The main thrust of theDaugert Proposal is to involve faculty and students in the decision-making process at this college. It isthe intent of Section 1.1, to which Dr. Sargent takes exception, to take college governance out of OldMain 142 and put it on public display. It would be something like the "periodic 'town meetings' . . . atwhich issues are formulated, debated and resolved" advocated by the Curriculum Commission-but theSenate would meet regularly and would be a representative body. I join Dr. Sargent and Steve Cooper in acknowledging that the Senate proposal is not exactly what I might have wanted, but, since it willinvolve faculty and students in the governance of this college in a more direct way than we now are, Iconsider it a vast improvement over the present s y s t em and support it enthusiastically. A. CarterBroad Chairman ; Biplqgy Compliments Front Editor: Last Tuesday's issue of the Front was a goodpaper. It reported (as far as I know) the events of consequence on the campus and did so with anunusual depth and insight. Of particularly good quality was your reporting of the curricular reform. I hopethat you will continue to improve and now especially since student approval and pressure is of utmostimportance to the success of these reforms. Hopefully, the Front can be a prime mover and organizer for that purpose. Stan Cuykendall Freshman P.S. Watch it though. You should indentify the tenured andrespected faculty member quoted in your editorial about curricular reform. Editor's Note: The importantfact is that the questions were raised in the first place. The faculty member who supplied the questionsspecifically asked not to be identifiedâ€”which certainly did not affect the validity of the questions.Thanks, and keep reading. Agrees with Knudtzon Editor: As a matter of record, may I say that I agreetotally with Kermit Knudtzon's letter to the F r o n t (April 12, 1971) concerning the Bookstore Board.Our resignations were based on the fact that Board decisions were abrogated without adherence tonormal principles of decorum. The salary increases for Bookstore personnel were v e t o e d before aformal statement regarding the raises was made by the Board. A meeting to draft such a statement was to Have been held after the executive session; as far as I know, the statement has still to be drafted, oreven to appear in the form of minutes of the executive meeting. The President invoked the Ad HocCommittee Report of 1966 ( a document previously unknown to most if not all the members of the Board) to veto the decision made in the executive session. This same document also revealed that I had beenimproperly appointed to the Board. It specified that only tenured faculty would be allowed to serve; I wasnot tenured when my appointment was made and I am not tenured now. Christopher's statement in theFront that the faculty and administrative resignations "bordered on the childish" is irresponsible and, ofcourse, irrational in light of the above facts. I still wonder how Mr. Christopher can maintain that he isnot in conflict of interest as a voting student member of the Board and as an employee of the Bookstore. Reed Merrill Assistant Professor of English Bookstore Markup Editor: In the April 13 edition of theFront, Dr. Howard E. Mitchell, chairman of the Bookstore Board, writes that the price of textbooks"includes a 20 per cent markup (on retail price) to cover operating costs and shipping charges.... To mymemory the bookstore has never used a different markup in the past 12 years." Dr. Mitchell's memoryfails him. Five years ago, the bookstore sold all books at a 20 per cent discount. It should also be keptin mind that the 20 per cent markup applies only to textbooks. Trade books are marked up 40 per centand many of the books used for classes are actually trade books. Jerry Richard Assistant professorFairhaven Platform Incomplete Editor: I feel that the representation of my position in last Friday'sWestern Front was incomplete and inaccurate and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify it.

Evans May Veto JIM AUSTINCopy Editor When the Senate knife-wielders got through with the state budget for the coming biennium,Western found itself with nearly $1.5 million less than the governor had recommended. Ernest Sams,acting business manager, said Friday that the Senate version had reduced the budget from Gov. DanEvans' proposed $24,590,000 to $23,125,000. The Senate passed the budget last Wednesday afterrejecting one, amending another and accepting several other amendments introduced by Sen. Fred Dore(D-Seattle). The Ways and Means Committee dropped Dore's amendment calling for a freeze on salaryincreases effective Jan. 1, 1971,^ and restored $161,000 of the $323,000 Dore had removed from theappropriation for Wilson Library. At the same time, the Senate retained the House-passed 2.5 per centreduction in faculty formula, costing Western $590,000. Other Senate amendments to the budgetincluded: â€”A reduction of fee waivers from 6 per cent to 3 per cent of all tuition and fees. The governorhad recommended the 6 per cent figure but the Senate settled for the lower figure and removed anadditional $236,000 from the budget, Sams said. The $236,000 will be offset by the local revenue gainedthrough the lower fee waiver, however, he added. - A reduction of from 2 per cent to 10 per cent of thesalary of all state officials earning more than $15,000 per year. â€”A prohibition on salary increases formerit or longevity currently in the Civil Service Act. The budget was sliced $398,000 for the salaryreduction and another $70,000 for the prohibition and merit increases, Sams said. An additional $380,000 was sliced from the budget following the State Supreme Court's ruling that payments into theWashington Personnel Employees' Retirement System must be made at the time salaries are paid.BASED ON TUITION HIKE Although the bill to increase tuition is still in the House Rules Committee, thebudget was based on the Board of Trustees charging $149 per quarter for tuition and fees next fall, Samssaid. Substitute House Bill 740 calls for full-time resident students to pay $149 per quarter for 1971-72and $165 per quarter for 1972-73. If the bill is passed non-resident students will be hit even harder. Non-resident students entering Western for the first time will be charged $453 per quarter next year whilereturning non-resident students will have two years in which to reach the $453 quarterly rate, Sams said. Sams said the tuition bill is not expected to come to a House vote until after the budget is disposed of,and some of the tax bills are expected to be voted on first. VETO POSSIBLE A strong possibility existsthat Evans will veto at least two of the provisions contained in the budget if the House accepts the Senate version, Sams said. The provisions calling for the reduction in salary and the prohibition on merit andlongevity increases are prime targets, he said. Evans announced earlier this month that he would veto abudget freezing salaries or containing a salary reduction. Sams indicated that the House can do one oftwo things: either accept the Senate version and face the possibility of a gubernatorial veto, or reject theSenate version and send the document to a six-member free conference committee. In the latter event,there is no telling how long it would be before the budget is finalized. If the governor receives it as is andvetoes all or part of it, the process will have to start all over and could take even longer, Sams said. ASPresident Defends Curriculum Proposal AS President Steve Cooper said Wednesday that he endorsesthe Curriculum Commission Report "almost without exception." "Students have been screaming for thiskind of education for a long time," he said. Cooper said that he particularly favors the intersession part of the proposal. "The student has the opportunity to work with faculty in organizing an individual project," he said. "This is putting education squarely on the shoulders of the individual, where it should be." Coopersaid that he is "amazed at the faculty reaction to the report." "I can't understand why faculty can't teachinterdisciplinary courses," he said. "This shows their shortsightedness. They're so worried about theirown department that they can't get their heads out of the mud and see what's happening." He said helikes the way the new curriculum would relate to the concerns of man. Moving from specialization togeneralization will allow better preparation for entering society, Cooper said. "The commission has come up with a new and creative approach to education. I don't want to see it go the long and tortuous route ofthe Daugert Proposal," Cooper said. He said that President Charles J. Flora "is moving with thisproposal and he's not waiting for anyone." "I think he sees it as a chance to change the monolithicstructure of Western and make it more relevant to students. STEVE COOPER "We've got to haveprograms that are concerned with man and his survival," Cooper said, adding that he doesn't think thepresent system can do that. "If it can, it hasn't done it." Cooper urged that all students pick up a copyof the curriculum report and study it. Copies can be obtained either at Flora's office in Old Main 115 or atCooper's office in the Viking Union. Curriculum Queried at Elementary Ed Meeting The necessity of thesemester system to implement curriculum changes was among questions raised on the curriculumproposal by Western's elementary education division at a meeting Tuesday. The members agreed thatthe curriculum proposal itself was sound. The loss of flexibility was raised as a possibility if a change tosemesters was made. Don Jacobs, education lecturer, referred to a report from the National Commissionfor the Accreditation for Teacher Education (NCAT), that change and flexibility are easier in the smallerunit of the quarter. Jacobs mentioned on his observation of 20 graduate level schools, the mostsuccessful programs were on quarters and that experimental programs were given more chance tochange in mid-stream. lt;, r *,-,,â€¢,â€¢, v gt;â€¢.- gt; * â€¢ t * â€¢?â€¢â€¢- * gt;â€¢ **â€¢*â€¢ â€¢* vâ€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢ 'â€¢'-' One of the assets of a semester system is the interim system that allowsstudents to do independent study. Jacobs questioned why a college needs to shut down to do this typeof thing, why couldn't it be put injo the quarter. Jacobs said that he had heard from William McCulloch, a rep. from Ohio, during the Scranton Report on campus violence, that where violence was directedagainst the campus administration it was overwhelmingly on semester system campuses. The groupagreed that limiting the curriculum to the point where Western would be a good specialist school likeother state Universities and colleges, could cut costs. Another question was raised about the cost intime and money to the committee that would be needed to revise the curriculum.

Photo By DAVE SHERMAN Technology Developing LowExhaust Automobile STEVE JOHNSTON Front Reporter Western's Technology Department is poolingtogether its student and faculty talents to create a practical, low exhaust emission car to enter in thenationwide Urban Car Competition next year. Although the MIT-sponsored competition will not be helduntil August 1972 in Boston, the car can be seen-either in its physical or design stages-throughout theTechnology Department or the design section of Miller Hall. Bob Merriam, a graduate technology majorfrom Burnaby, B.C., has started drafting up some basic ideas for the car's body. Presently he has a fewideas pinned up on a wall, like a square-bodied affair with doors which open like wings on a bird. Oneunusual aspect is when the doors are shut, the driver and passenger will automatically be enclosed in aself adjusting safety belt. But there are other designs, like a three wheel car that looks more like amotorcycle and can turn on the proverbial dime. For an engine, Michael Seal, assistant professor oftechnology, hopes to use a Wankel which is now being mass produced for an imported car. - TheWankel engine is not a new idea. It was developed in the I950's, but just lately has caught interest in theautomotive field as a possible answer to the car pollution problem. The engine doesn't have pistons,rather it has a rotor-type drive which looks like a triangle. Instead of the up and down motion like in apiston engine, a Wankel spins in an oblong arch. The advantage of this engine is that it runs cooler thanthe regular engine and has fewer parts to wear out, so less upkeep, Seal said. Seal said a cooler running engine creates less hydro carbons, the major part of air pollution from cars and coupled with an exhaustreactor, the Wankel could run almost exhaust emission free. "A Wankel engine operates from 2 to 5 percent less efficient than a four cylinder engine," he said. "But all the present pollution gadgets on today'scars require more power and gas." The biggest problem facing the Technology Department is a lack ofmoney. Seal figures it will cost around $10,000 to design and build the car. "We're looking for funds now," he said. "If we are able to get the money then we'll build the body out of stress plywood, like aircraftspruce, or fiber glass." So far a new Toyota has been donated by a local company and Seal said they will use parts from the car to make their entry. Seal stressed the contest in Boston was not going to be arace, like the one that was run last year from coast to coast, but a test between the various colleges tobuild a better running car. Some of the paces the cars will be put through include turning trials, ease otgetting in and out, a parking race, style and, of course, how clean the engine runs. Avoid Standing InLine- Get Parking Permit By June Parking permit holders will have to fill out lot applications for next year before leaving school this quarter. The Parking Committee decided to have people send in applicationsto the Security Department before June 12. "In this way we are trying to do away with standing in line,"Joan Straughan, Parking Committee chairman said. "People will have to think of next year's parking,"she said. Security would then mail lot assignments to people during the summer. A space would bereserved for those who have the parking permit money in by August 31. Anyone who did not get themoney in, would get a permit on a first-come, first-serve basis next fall quarter. ,.,,.,Tfie,Gommitteje.has.pot.deqided uj qn the.priqes to be charged for each lot yet. The committee is alsoconsidering giving fines to parking violators. If a person did not pay the first two fines, the third violationwould constitute an impound. Those who paid the fines after every violation could get parking tickets allyear long without having their car impounded. To protect permanent ticket holders, those who parkillegally in a full lot could have their car impounded even on the first violation if a regular permit holdercould not park in that lot because of the violator. The Board of Trustees will have to approve both the finesystem and pre-registering for parking permits for next year.

After entering town, though, it might seem to thenewcomer as though the census takers forgot to count the multitude of students thronging the streets.Although the multitude amounts to only about 10,000, the casual visitor to Bellingham is partially correctin concluding that they have been forgotten. Of the 12 aldermen on the Bellingham city council, none ofthem is representative of the student population in the town. Despite the $21 million Western brings hereyearly, the college doesn't exist as far as the city council is concerned. Boyd Collings, a junior visualcommunications education major from Bellingham, thinks it's about time someone came down from themountain to tell the city fathers the wants and needs of the college community. "This college does a lotfor the city, but there's no one down there to do anything for students," Collings says. He plans to file for the 5 th precinct councilman's slot in the 1971 municipal election. The 5th precinct, which includesSehome Hill, a large area north of Holly Street, and east of Commercial Street plus the Southside area,houses a big proportion of the student body. This campaign for city council will not be the 24-year-oldNavy veteran's first attempt at civic involvement. He once applied to become a Whatcom County sheriff'sdeputy, but was turned down because his father was on the force and the sheriff thought the relationshipwould be too close. He also tried to get on the Blaine Police Department, but ran into objections to hisappearance from the city council. "When I went in for my personal interview, they didn't ask me anythingabout my qualifications. They just kept asking my why my hair was so long and why I wore a beard," hesaid. When the Blaine officials asked Collings why he was applying to the police department and why he should be chosen above his two neatly groomed competitors, he told them: "Well, I want to be a lawofficer, but I think these other two are just looking for a job." On that note he was dismissed from theinterview. BOYD COLLINGS Undaunted by the Blaine power structure, Collings tried for the Bellinghampolice department. "They wouldn't even give me an application to fill out until I shaved and cut my hair,so I decided that if they were going to be that way, we wouldn't have gotten along very well, anyway," hesaid. "I finally decided that the only way to get around those people would be to get on the city council."He then smiled. "There are a couple of things around here that irritate me that I would like to see takencare of," he said. "One is the two-hour parking limit on the streets around the college. If it's warranted up here, I'm sure there must be a few places downtown that need it, too." Then there is the matter of theBellingham police wearing American flags on their shoulders. "If they can bust students for wearing flags, I don't see why the police should be allowed to wear them," he said. Being recently married, Collingsand his wife, Pat, want to settle down a little and plan to stay around Bellingham for at least the next fewyears. Collings says that if he gets the council post he will cut his study load down to 10 or 12 hours and devote most of his attention to the city post. "I plan to go to graduate school here at Western, so we'llbe around for some time." 'Walk for the Hungry' Planned for May 8-9 A Bellingham Walk for the Hungryis planned for May 8 and 9 in conjunction with the International Walk for Development weekend. Thepurpose of the walks is to educate the American public towards hunger, over-population andenvironmental abuse, and then to raise money to cope with these problems, according to Laurie Eyer, alocal organizer. Walks for development, which will take place in 340 American cities and in 45 foreigncountries this year, are the main source of American involvement in the United Nations Freedom FromHunger Campaign and the American Freedom Fron Hunger Foundation (AFFHF). Walks for developmentstarted in Europe as a youth response of the fear of world-wide hunger. Before the walks, participantscontact possible sponsors who promise to pay a certain amount for each mile the participant walks.Walkers will walk along a route around Bellingham, stopping at check points along the way to certify their mileage. After the walk, walkers collect their money from their sponsors and turn it over to the chairman of the walk. Almost half-42.5 per cent-of the money collected goes to the local Whatcom Countydevelopment, and an equal amount goes for foreign development. The remaining 15 per cent is used toeducate more people to the need for involvement. The Nooksack Indians and the Bellingham Day CareCenter have been selected as the local projects. Plans are to provide heating for the Nooksack TribalCenter which will benefit the tutoring program. Money will also be used to provide transportation forchildren attending the Day Care Center, and for scholarships for low-income children, or children withspecial needs. A revolving loan plan to help Guatemalan farmers buy the land they work on has beenchosen as the foreign project. May 3 to 8 has been set aside as Development Week on campus.Speakers, films and slide presentations to explain the walk are planned. Meetings are held at 7:30 p.m.every Thursday in the Campus Christian Ministry. Federal Loans Help Students With today's rising costs of getting a college education, more and more students are seeking financial assistance above whatthey and their parents can come up with in the way of money. Students from middle-income families find themselves in more of a bind getting help because their parents' income makes them ineligible for federal programs such as National Defense Student loans and educational opportunity grants which are aimedat low-income students. Chances are that the best alternative for a student from a middle-income family,is to apply for a federally insured student-loan.. â€¢' -â€¢ â€¢â€¢' â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ While students areadvised to apply at hometown banks first, loans can also be obtained through other banks, savings andloan institutions or credit unions. The federally insured student loan program began in 1967 and sincethen has aided 48,000 students in Washington state alone. During the fiscal year 1969-70 900 Westernstudents were provided with almost $665,000 in educational loans. Seventy-five per cent of all the loansmade last year to Western students came from Bellingham National Bank averaging more than $900 per student'.

Flora told the small gathering of college officials and students that he was very happy and hopeful about the by-pass. "The present use of High Street is appalling to the safety of our students and faculty," Flora said. The college is waiting for funds to be allocated so work can begin on widening Garden Street so High Street can be closed. A pedestrian mall is planned for High Street, open only to emergencyvehicles. The $360,000 project was delayed because of poor weather conditions and the removal of a wall that blocked motorists' vision. Master of Ceremonies and project engineer Victor O. Gray presentedWilliams and Flora with folders of the project's legal documents. After Williams and Flora snipped thedocument-studded ribbon, they were joined by Gray and Gary Evans, AS vice-president, in the symbolicfirst drive up the by-pass. Dorm Knocks Proposal A group of Nash Hall residents have drafted a petitionasking that the administration reject the proposals of the Curriculum Commission. The petition called the commission's report on ways of restructuring the college "detrimental to the educational processes andgoals of this college." The main objection listed in the statement is that the restructuring of Westenvintoa four-year general education college will not fully equip students with "the necessary job skills needed tofunction in the realistic world." "It is not necessary to completely restructure the system to achieve themuch needed reforms," the petition states. The petition was drafted by Steve Huber, a sophomore English majbr from Bothell. "The idea came from our resident aide and we had a lot of help from a lot of people," Huber said.

Joe Forde raises his aims in victory after the Western light-weight four defeated SeattleUniversity, Saturday. Photos By DAVE SHERMAN Huskies next Crew Torpedoes Chiefs YachtersEighth In Kennedy Race Competing against the best collegiate teams in the nation, skipper Pete Jepson piloted Western's sailing team to eighth place in the Kennedy Memorial Regatta held over the weekendin Annapolis, Md. Tulane, skippered by the U.S.'s premier collegiate sailor John Dane, successfullydefended their title against a field of 10 boats in the seventh annual running of the event. Competing infive races over Saturday and Sunday, Western's team managed to beat each team at least once with theexception of Tulane. They placed as high as fifth place in one race, while their worst attempt was lastplace in one race. This was Western's first attempt at Kennedy Cup competition. The team, though onlybeating out Notre Dame and Citadel, is far from disappointed over their showing. "We found out that wewere1 really competitive against the best teams in the nation," said team member Claude Kennedy. "Acouple of better breaks and we could have finished as high as third." Western's crew squad overturnedSeattle University (SU) Saturday, winning all three races on Lake Samish. Next Saturday the Viks facethe University of Washington (UW) and the University of Puget Sound (UPS) in their last home meet ofthe season. The Vik varsity-eight came in with a 7:31 time Saturday, eight seconds ahead of the SUteam. The junior varsity-eight crossed the finish line 20 seconds ahead of SU at 7:52, and Western'slightweight-four ran away from the opposition, registering an 8:30 time against SU's 8:56. All races wereover a 2,000 meter course. Coach Bob Diehl Jr. is trying to be optimistic about his team's chancesagainst the national championship team from the UW. "They haven't been beaten in two years," he said."They're a pretty scrappy bunch, but somebody's got to beat them and it might as well be us." Diehl isn't worried about the UPS squad. "They've got a young team, mostly freshmen, and shouldn't be too muchtrouble for us," he said. The relatively slow times at Saturday's meet-roughly a minute off record-breakingtimes-were due to choppy water and a stiff headwind according to Diehl. In his pre-meet pep-talk, Diehlwarned his team about "that final 500 meters." Later he explained that Western has a tendency to burnout in the final stage of the race. "Our strategy is different from most schools," he said. "Because we're a small team, we depend on a fast start; we have to set a fast pace and keep it up." This strategy puts anextra load on the coxwain, the man who sets the pace and steers the shell. It's his job to keep the crewfired up-he's a combination coach and quarterback with a megaphone. Western's three coxwains are JimStensen, Ward Fay and Joe Perez. Vik Nine Splits In Ellensburg KENT SHERWOOD Sports Reporter"For as little work as we've been able to get in because of the rain, we're looking real good." Those werethe sentiments of Western baseball coach Connie Hamilton, and after Saturday's double-header inEllensburg, it's hard to argue with him. The Viks split with Central, winning the first game, 4-0, anddropping the second, 9-1. Don Balke shut out the powerful Wildcats in the opener, limiting the defendingEvergreen Conference champs to five hits, while collecting nine strikeouts in going the distance. Western picked up their first run in the fifth inning after Dan Marlow singled. Mariow was sacrificed to second andwent to third on a simgle by Balke. Pete Johnson drove the run home with a sacrifice fly to left. The Viks erupted for three tallies in the sixth. Ron Porterfield was safe on an error and Dan Maupin singled to setthe stage for thirdbaseman John Bates. Bates walloped a 375-ft. home run to account for the final score. Coach Hamilton was doubly pleased with the win since the Viks defeated Central's All-Evco hurler, DanHaverlo. --"He's really good," said Hamilton, "the scouts have been trying to sign him for a long time. He's only a junior and has been the league's top pitcher twice." But Hamilton also reserved some praise forhis own pitcher. "Balke was just great, and so was everyone else. It was a great win, especially onCentral's home field in front of their fans." However, the large Central crowd was able to cheer in thesecond contest. The Wildcats exploded for five runs in the first inning on three Viking errors, to put thegame out of reach. "We should have gone home after the first game," Hamilton quipped. "We could haveused some rain then." The only bright spot for the Viks was again supplied by Bates, who slammedanother homerun, a 380-ft. job in the fifth. Neil Crawford took the loss. Centerfielder Johnson went 3-6 inthe twin bill. The split makes Western 7-4 overall and 2-2 in Evco play. "'We've got some great kids,"Hamilton continued, "with only one senior (Crawford) and we're definitely right in this race. In the firstCentral game we started two freshmen, two sophomores and four juniors so I'm real enthusiastic rightnow." Western next faces Southern Oregon at Bellingham's Civic Field on Saturday. Vikings Win FinalHome Meet It took some careful and masterful planning, but whoever is responsible for Western's trackschedule has succeeded.

Magee and Vorcealso joined Dan Wakefield and Lance Wilson to win the 440-yd. relay in :43.6. Other Viking blue ribbonswere turned in by Rich Nomini, high hurdles; Wilson, long jump, and the mile relay team of Vorce, Randy Payton, Dick Foley and Jeff May. Top second place finisher for Western was Bill Long. Long pole-vaulted 13-10 to break the school record of 13-8 set by Barney Thompson and tied last week by Long.Taking first was Roger Ruth of VOC, clearing 14-3.

Several restaurants, such as Avenue Bread and Deli and Tony's Coffee are contacting the Mount Baker chapter of the Red Cross to find out how they can contribute financially to the victims of the disaster. Lisa Brown, financial development director of the Mount Baker Red Cross, has estimated that approximately $20,000 has come in to the Mount Baker Red Cross. She said she anticipates that number to climb after receiving $8,000 of the donations just after the holidays. "People have now had a chance to focus on the trauma caused (by the tsunami) and donations have been pouring in," Brown said. see TSUNAMI, page 5 KARA LUNDBURG/The Western Front Bellingham resident Tyler Essex donates money for tsunami relief Wednesday aatt OOnn RRiiccee TThhaaii CCuuiissiinnee.. Tickets for all carrjpys events now sold at RAC BBYY SSTTEEFFAANNII HHAARRRREEYY their ticketing systems so students can information technology. He said the vice The Western Front Purchasing tickets for events happening on campus is about to get easier. . In the past, someone who wanted tickets to a sporting event had to buy them at one location, whereas someone wanting to purchase tickets to a Performing Arts Center event had to purchase them at a different location. Beginning later this month, the athletics department and the PAC will integrate buy tickets for any event from one system, said Fred Ramage, facilities operation manager for the PAC. Most game tickets are sold at the games, and Boles said that system would not change. Fans can still buy tickets on the night of the game at Carver Gym. The newly named University Box Office, inside the PAC, will pre-sell tickets to all events including sports games, performing arts and Viking Union shows, said Jerry Boles, vice provost of provost's office, the PAC and the athletics department worked together to create the integrated system. "We're excited to implement the new-system because it gives us contemporary hardware and software," Boles said. "Since the systems we were using before were old and outdated." Aside from integrating the ticketing see TICKETS, page 3 Western faculty step closer to forming union BY BLAIR WILSON The Western Front Talk of unionizing at Western has been circulating for two. years; now Western professors are taking action by filing some of the paperwork necessary to form a union, the United Faculty of Western Washington. The group filed a petition on Dec. 15 and authorization cards were turned in. The next step in the process is for Western to turn in a fist to the Public Employee Relations Committee of all faculty members interested in the union. Names on the list will be compared to the authorization cards. If 30 percent of the faculty shows interest, . the group will conduct a vote by mail election. If the vote for a union passes, Western will become unionized, said Marvin Schurke, executive director for the PERC. In 2002, the state Legislature passed a law enabling faculties of two and fourryear colleges and universities to organize unions. Faculties at two of the six Washington state universities have unionized â€” Eastern and Central. Western is the third university to start the process, Schurke said. "Prior to this legislation, faculty were prevented from having officially recognized unions," said Steven Garfinkle, assistant history professor and union steering committee member. A steering committee of nine professors and an organizing committee made up of 50 Western faculty members are working with other faculty members, the adrninistration and the PERC to make Western a unionized university. PERC, the state agency working with Western, has been involved since Western filed a petition and turned in authorization cards, Schurke said. see UNION, page 3 Court date set for woman charged with disorderly conduct at post-election protest BY ADRIANA DUNN The Western Front Western graduate Karen Ganey made her first appearance Thursday in Bellingham Municipal Court following her arrest on suspicion of disorderly conduct in relation
