In this column I am going to attempt to bring out Hie most important facts and trends. Many of these observations and opinions are my own, so take them for what you think they are worth. This week has seen the passing from the scene of two of the most infamous men in history. These men are Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini. A d o l p h Hitler, der Fuehrer, came to power in 1933 as Chancellor of Germany. In the following years he gradually strengthened his power until he plunged the world into a war of catastrophic magnitude in 1939. In 1939, 1940, and 1941, he overran all of Europe execept the valiant little island of Great Britain and the sprawling Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In the summer of 1941, Hitler made the mistake that led to the downfall of the German Reich. The mistake of invading the U. S. S. R. From that time on his days were numbered. Gradually the tide was reversed until now the G.l/s have joined the Russians in several places along the Elbe, and Adolf Hitler is reported to have been killed fighting in Berlin. This is according to the Hamburg radio. Possibly the reported death of Hitler is to mask his escape while the German High Command hopes that the successor to Hitler, Admiral Karl Doenitz, will be able to get easier terms of peace from the Allies by trying to show that the Nazis have been removed. I do not think this will work. • - Also gone from the scene of international conflict is the pathetic figure of Benito Mussolini, who was shot to death along with his mistress and seventeen other high ranking Fascists. II Duce came to power much earlier than der Fuehrer, 1922 to be exact. At the head of several hundred ragged Black Shirts, Benito marched on Rome and was "openly welcomed by the starving, destitute Italians, who would accept anything that would give them food and jobs. . . For many years Mussolini rode the waves of glory, until he joined his partner in crime, Adolph Hitler, in the war. From that.time on Italy was on the way down until today his dream of Mare Nostrum has been destroyed, the empire is gone, Italy is completely occupied and the once great dictator is dead. Let this be a lesson to democracy in the future, to clean out "sore spots before they start to fester. Turning from death and destruction we look to San Francis- (Continued on Page Three) Spring Fever Strikes Campus; Daydreams Reign Supreme With spring blooming out in its entirety these past few days, familiar sites can be thoroughly enjoyed from the now-deserted libe.

Kuder, WWC registrar, author of "Planning Your Education" was recently appointed to the steering committee of the Western Washington caravan, to publish a manual of information to be distributed to prospective college students in Western Washington and Oregon colleges and universities. Gardiner Wins Top AWS Position Pat Gardiner, sophomore, was elected to lead AWS for 1945-46 in the regular student assembly last Friday. Pat has been active in talent shows, belongs to Valkyrie, Board of Control, has acted this year as AWS social chairman and has been a Prom Princess for two years. O t h e r administrative officers elected were Joan Haggard, soph, as vice-president; Z e l m a Blekkink, frosh, as secretary; and Martha Monoghan, f r o s h , as treasurer. These coeds will take office next fall quarter. Campus Day Celebration Set; Norsemen's Beards Growing By CATHERINE ANDERSON A flashy stocking dance, featuring the Hard Time theme of Campus Day, will top off the festivities of this year's school skipping. The dance will begin at eight o'clock, and will include presentation of prizes for the best skits, the best beards, and the flashiest, loudest pair of socks on the floor. The~Hard Time theme will be followed at the dance, and signs and deco^ rations will bring out this point. Times will be so tough that refreshments will be cokes and cokes only. However, the prizes will be substantial and well-deserved- Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, co-chairmen of Campus Day, have stated that absolutely no bobby pins, hair pins, ribbons, clips, rubber bands, or toasters shall be worn in the girls' hair the day before Campus Day. This point is emphasized in every announcement. Absolutely nothing shall J»e worn in the hair. For the rest of their costume, students are advised to dress in their oldest and saddest outfits, and men are to wear their hair Ish-Ka-bibble style, and beards of all lengths, colors, and descriptions will also be worn. Students may invite guests to the Campus Day dance, but there must be one college student per couple. Prizes will be given at intermission, and the dance will end at 10:30 or 11- And as for those socks! Polka' dots, loud stripes, circles, bows on. them, plaids, and various patterns will be worn, and according to dance chairman Herb Witt, "the louder the better." Awards will be given to both men and women for the most eye-filling stockings. Can you borrow a pair of Pa's? Convention Chooses Prexy Candidates Shomshak, Dahlgren Elaine Dahlgren and June Shomshak were chosen by the nominating convention last Tuesday as candidates for Associated Student Body President. The list of nominees before the convention included Bob DePastel and Beverly McNally. Running for vice-president are Beverly McNally and Margaret Rut-ledge. Elaine Dahlgren is a sophomore from Mount Vernon. One of this years' Prom Princesses, Elaine is a member of Alkisiah, ACE, and a Valkyrie girl. June Shomshak is a junior from Sedro-Woolley, chairman of War Activities, Blue Triangle Cabinet member, Vice-President of Vanadis Bragi and a member of Valkyrie. Those elected to run for four quarter man or woman were Marilyn Booras and Gene Sivertson; three quarter woman, Nell Kosola, Virginia Pendleton; and three-quarter man or woman, Joan Haggard, Bob DePastel. Elections will be held Wednesday, May 16. Year's Events Now Printed Pictures and copy are now in for the Newsletter, "which will be mailed to all former students now in the service. The . Newsletter, published by the Collegian staff, is financed jointly by Valkyrie, Collegian, Klip-sun and money which was donated by students at the Publications Prom. The single sheet, similar to last years', will be written like a letter, with pictures to illustrate certain points. Topics will include the year's recreation and activities including the Prom, Winter Show, and sports. Commencement Week Plans Include Many Social and Serious Events Commencement week plans at WWC, June 6 to Friday, June 8, are being made by a committee headed by Miss Piatt of the Science department.

Music for, the occasion will be furnished by an orchestra which is being organized by Mr. Donald Bushell of the music department of WWC. Twenty Seniors Visit Campus Twenty seniors from Bremerton High School, accompanied by Miss Edna Frasier, ' graduate of WWC, will be on the campus May 7 and-6. The visit is the culmination of a year's co-operative study . between the ' college and the Bremerton schools, which is attempting a guidance program to interest more highi school students in the teaching profession. The idea was developed by Don Patterson, assistant superintendent of schools at Bremerton, also . a WWC graduate. Mrs. Waneta Catey and Miss Sylva Nicol of the Department of Student Teaching, have met with these students in Bremerton on different occasions. They are all seniors who have served, at various times, as substitute teachers in class rooms under supervision. The schedule for the two-day visit to the campus was planned by Dr. Paul Grim and Miss Lorraine Powers. The group will arrive shortly after noon Monday, and AWS will be hostess Monday afternoon; a tea and tour of the campus buildings is planned, followed by a dinner at Edens Hall and swimming and recreation hour in the gym. A social hour at Edens Hall will finish the day. Tuesday will be spent entirely in the Campus Schools, visiting the buildings and observing classes. The visit will end after a lunch at Edens Hall. Van Aver Writes Albert Van Aver, of the English department, has just received word from the editor of Educational Administration and supervision that . his article, "The Function of Literature After the War" has been accepted for publication and will appear in an early issue. This article is a sequel to an earlier article written by Mr. Van Aver, called "The Study of Literature During the War," originally delivered as a radio address on this campus. ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 May 4 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, Ma/ 4, 1945 ESTABLISHED 1899 Published Every Friday, Except During . the month of September, by the Associated Students.

RUTH BURNET Pub. Adviser Spring Hits WWC Campus; Students Relax and Burn O^iiciiali With the unconditional surrender of German troops in Italy, the European battle comes closer to the finish line. Even as I write this copy the end steadily approaches. The news these past days has been the best we have heard since the war began, but the time is still distant when our celebration can be complete. WATCH THE BEARDS GO BY Now that the beards are growing, the ration points are collected and the skits are being rehearsed, we are all anxiously awaiting the traditional Campus Day. With a prayer for sunshine the student body of WWC is planning its ensembles for next Tuesday. Let's all give our full support to the committees who are working hard to make Campus Day a big success. ELECTION TIME We have the most important election of the year coming up very soon. It is up to us to choose the very best leaders to guide us through 1945-46. Our student body president is the chosen representative of the students of WWC. In order to elect the one who will best fill the position it is the responsibility of every student to vote in the election to be held May 16. Don't forget that date. And don't underestimate the desirability of getting good people to fill the other vacant offices which are being filled this spring. For the girls, the WRA election is coming up soon and for the men, the Norsemen election is a coming attraction. In every election take a little time to think about the nominees and then make sure you cast your ballot. During the past several years too many people have carelessly ignored the polls, yet if this privilege were taken from them they would certainly put up a few loud protests. We're fighting to keep what we have, so show that you want to keep your democracy. YOU MAKE IT We Print The News, You Make It. That has always been and still is the motto of the WWCol-legian. Despite that fact and despite the fact that newspapers have always had as their chief objective the printing of news material, complaints still come rolling in'about the source of our news. Our staff members have, often overheard a group of students criticizing the sheet because of too much faculty news and too little students news. But our ques- Mosher Recalls Poem Choices The time has come to speak of poetry. I know you'll probably stop right here, but do you know why you dislike poetry? Even though you are not one who reads poetry just for the aesthetic value, there is some sort of verse that will appeal if you will give it half a chance. In most cases it is ignorance that influences your dislike. For amusement and humor try reading Ogden Nash . . . For instance . . . "A girl who is bespectacled She may not get her necktacled; But safety pins and bassinets Awaits the girl who fassinets." Modern poetry is good and often fills the need the best, but the old sentimental poets really have something. Who can imitate Edgar Allen Poe's "Bells" . . . . . . To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells." Christopher Marlowe for sentimentality . . . "Come live with me and be my love . . . " Keats . . . ". . . I'll smoothly steer My little boat, for many quiet hours, With streams that deepen freshly with bowers." Wordsworth . . . "A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, smiles." The list of wonderful bits of verse could go on for miles but that is where the pleasure is found, in discovering a bit of well known new poetry that says what you feel better than any prose could possibly do. Don't take my word for it or anyone else's. Speak for yourself! tion is., "What have the freshmen done lately to make news, what have the sophomores done,, and what has the junior-senior class done that should appear in print?" With the clubs it is the same story except in occasional instances where a tea or a drive for some cause steps into the news. Unless the- students are active there is nothing for us to report, so the news you see in your weekly is what you make it. Another thing—it is impossible to include everyone's name in every edition, which we know is one of the greatest causes for dissatisfaction. But until you make the news, we can't report it. It is all up to you. ym Gonlessin Ya' wanta fashion foto? Wanta know what's the latest? Well, right now the vogue has turned to red. Tomorrow, though, it is very apt to be tan. Joan Martinson has invested in a two-tone job that has everyone wondering just what she is thinking of. In case you are wondering, those gals at Edens just haven't learned the art of sunbathing. Campus benches and the tennis court are literally swarming with students who just can't get enough of Old Sol's remedy. Frosh Are Some Good; Maybe!! By WALT BAKER Little ones, big ones, short and tall. Standing 'gainst the main hall walls. Floppy coats, turned-up brogues. Why, don't they look like rogues? Who? . . . The Frosh. In Hospice, Edens and even Daniels, Everywhere they're in a frenzy, They gesticulate, arguing with much air. Boy, they, sure look debonaire! Who? . . . The Frosh. By golly things would sure be drear About this time every year, If no one new around these walls Failed to show up at all. Cuess we need them, Guess We'd miss them, Who? . . . The Frosh. Gruesome Sights Anticipated Soon Have you seen the weird beards? Well, Campus Day is "whisking" upon us . . . only four more slopping days 'til the day we don our oldest togs, sans make up, with a Fiji Island hair-do, or oldest clothes -plus bristly beards. George Jurgens has a head start at beard growing. He never shaves until his whiskers scratch his ears, and Campus Day caught him in the final stages. I want to warn you By CHAR Good morning- Good Moaning ; Good Mourning That's how it is here at WWC . . . Some love to see their names ia print; others groan, and my mother will be mourning if a few of yrase guys carry out those threats.

Harriett Clow would probably get as far as Mount Vernon and throw the darned thing away, and Mr. Dack would have the carpet in shreds in nothing flat tearing around to see all of his "Boys". Dale Burkluhd would challenge Superman to a race, and Gerry (Barefeet) Woodward would head straight for Dogpatch. —•— Well, if you're still here, you can go practice for the Pie Eating Contest.

Neither had I, until this morning. It could mean any number of things; which one it does, I do not know. It may refer to tennis rackets, which are associated with springtime. On the other hand, it may imply the guff, noise, and racket in this column. It may, however, indicate the slang use of racket— a dodge or trick; an imposture. Now we are getting somewhere, but where? —•— BEARDS BLOSSOM Hooray! The men of WWC are going to give forth with beards; the only thing left at which they excel the coeds. For a week the men will be men and demonstrate their masculinity with growths of bristles at one extreme and eider down at the other. Dale"Burklund's thick, black beard is t h e most potential winner. If Roger Nelson can cultivate a slight growth, he will probably have the blondest beard. The golf enthusiasts have been getting in a f ew practice licks for the coining golf tournament. Tis rumored that Allen Thon almost broke a hundred. Seven men have now signed up for the tournament. Wark, Sivertson, Thon, Burklund, Riddle, Pavlicek, and some character called Currie have all affixed their John Henries. Match play gets underway on the seventh. This warm weather has brought out the Hospice boys; their tennis tourney is going full tilt. Nelson will keep you informed of results. —•— VIKS DARKHORSE Intercollegiate sports competition has returned to WWC with a bang. The Vikings are the darkhorse in the coming Tri-Modern Dance Meet with EWC and CWC. The Viks are after the Winco title this year. The last time the p e w t e r cup rested in our hallowed halls was 1942 when the team pictured won the t i t l e . Coach Muffly is making no predictions, but she d i d say, "We have a chance." Pat Cooper is the standout in the field events on this year's team and Marilyn Booras leads in the sprints. —•— A sports event I will remember for a long time is a rugby match I witnessed between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. More interetsing than the game itself was the crowd reaction to the contest. There was no organized cheering as we have at football games. In fact, by comparison, there was no cheering to amount to anything at all. When the ball was dropped between the two lines at the start of the game, one player cleverly worked the ball back to his teammates with his feet and received a round of handclapping from the crowd and exclamations of "Well heeled ball!" If a team executed a play well they were praised by spectators of both sides with "Well played, varsity!" or "Good play, Oxford!" When a player pulled an out and out boner he was applauded, nevertheless, and the spectators said, "Jolly good effort." —•— AMERICANS PLAY What a contrast was an exhibition American football game between an air corps team and a ground force team that was held the same day. The American spectators were organized by cheerleaders into too madly hysterical groups that gave forth with bloodthirsty yells such as "Give them the axe," with its implications of mayhem. A player who pulled a boner received hoots and hollers of derision. All sorts of derogatory remarks were directed at the referee when he placed a penalty on a team. I t was just like a college football game in the States. As th game progressed, enthusiasm mounted to a high pitch and the yelling increased. An Englishman summed up the reaction of his people to the game when he saicl to me, "I say, I'm afraid there is going to be trouble." —•— POOR CUNDER Our boy, Cunder Haegg, is having a rough time in the United States, came in a slow fourth in the Penn Relays last Week. That transportation he is awaiting had better materialize rapidly. —•— News has arrived of the defeat of Pavlicek's seventh grade track team by Emie Ludwick's Lynden seventh graders. Ludwick's luminaries won the meet 23 to 1. Pavy claims his team would have made a better showing if they had had more practice. Hal Arnasoh, the Bellingham High athlete, was played up by the Seattle P.-I. this week for his pitching ability. He is an outstanding prospect for organized baseball. Arhason is a versatile fellow. Besides being an outstanding baseball player, Arnason is an all-state basketball player, is an all-Cross State football end, is ASB president at Bellingham High, and is on the honor roll.

In the city meet and the county meet he took first place in the 50, 100, and 200 yard dashes. Olden, a half miler for the Campus school, has also shown much promise. He took second place in the half mile in both the city and county meets. He has the ability, and with a little more self confidence should start romping in first. These boys and the rest of the Campus school squad will get a real test of their ability in the coming district meet. Good luck, boys! —•— More good news for football fans . . . Oregon State College has joined Idaho and WSC in announcing their intention to resume the gridiron sport this fall. Graduate Manager Percy Locey stated that OSC would "definitely" field a football eleven. Oregon and Montana are the only holdouts left in the Northern Division Coast conference. —•— Have you noticed how this column wanders and wanders more each week? Well, you would have noticed if. you would read it. Putting out enough guff 'n stuff each week to fill up space gets to be more and more of a chore as the weather gets nicer. It is becoming difficult to keep my mind on writing a column. My thoughts are of other things. (And Pm only three and a half years old!) In other words, spring fever has hit ye olde scribe. Watch out below, here comes one used typewriter! Hospice Tournament more norse notes Near Completion Hospice Inn tennis tournament is now in full swing. The racket swingers have been beating the ball all over the courts this past week and expect to finish the tournament possibly by Monday. The way the tourney was designed, many of the players drew byes for the first round. Tom Riddle defeated Lloyd Jones in a first round match, 6-3, 6-2. Riddle then went onjto defeat Bob Myers, 6-0, 6-1, putting him in the semi-finals against Dale Burklund. Burklund got the semi-finals by a match with Jack Danley, 3-6, C-0, 6-1. Riddle and Burklund will play a match today to determine which one will go on to the finals. In the other section of the tourney, George Jurgens is in the semifinals via a bye in the first round and a forfeit from Jack Graham. A first round match between Walt Baker and Herb Witt will be played off today, and the victor of that match will meet Bob Pavlicek. The winner of the match with Pavlicek will go on to the semi-finals wilh Jurgens as opponent. (Continued from Page One) centered for security from future wars. The 46 nations gathered at San Francisco hope to bring about an organization that will keep the peace. Most of the people of the nation want such an organization, but there are many idealists who will want a perfect plan to come from the conference or none at all. After the last war there were many such people who rejected the League of Nations because it was not perfect, and as a result they chose the other course which lead' to anarchy, chaos, and another war. The same thing can happen again after this war if we are not careful to learn from past lessons. In next week's column there will be more on the San Francisco conference, and I hope to have a Students Sucia Island Bound Sunday, May 13, men of WWC and their guests will embark on the annual Norsemen's cruise. Curtis Borchers, chairman, promises that all who travel with the: group will have a wonderful day. gt; The Sea Scout Ship? Activian is scheduled to leave Bellingham at nine a. m., and will convey the party to one of the scenic islands in. the San Juan group. Weather permitting, a few brave souls may take along their swimming suits and have a cool dip in the salty brine. Tickets for the cruise will be on sale early next week, and Wednesday has been set as the deadline for purchasing them. Details may be obtained from Chairman Borchers, but an afternoon of leisure and fun-making is in store for all who make the trip. Softball Enthusiasts Turning Out Now The girls have also been turning out to the call of spring this last -week. Barbara Caldwell, Bev. Morgan, Iris Bowden and many others can be seen out throwing the soft ball around. Gathering a few iame muscles on the courts have been Marilyn Booras, Babs teHennepe, H e l e n Boyer, Ethel Martinson and Mavis Danley.

Naturally I was puzzled at this coming from the hedge right across from Hospice, so I looked to see who it was, and sure enough, there was a tall, dark, handsome . . . pansy. Pretty soon a chorus of pansies were just shouting to be taken from their hiding places, so out trooped a whole slew of Edens Hall Prosh, who began dashing madly around the dew bedecked, or just plain wet, campus in search of pansies, for each year the Uppers give the Lowers (speaking of classmen, not berths or teeth) a May Day Breakfast and Pansy Hunt. And the frosh return the good will by giving the grads a breakfast which Miss Powers is always late to. But back to my story! Edens is going to be different this year. Instead of the usual pansies there will be all sorts of pansies that Miss Piatt has had her science class grow. Now available are the talking Pansola, a cross between a phonograph and a pansy, and also a Pansetta, crossed with a Poinsettia for early blooming. The tiny ones are the Pansitas and Pan-sitos, Mexican ones that Donald Duck brought back on his magic rug. The last, loveliest, and livilest are the chim-pansys, which have exceptional expressions on their velvety faces. If you are interested in growing pansies, just enroll in Science 999. EDENS GLUB Everyone and every place must have a mascot . . . so thought some people around the dorm . . .

It seems Lucille must have been a bad girl or something cause she got spanked good and proper this week by a certain blonde man about the campus. What was that for, Lucille? Another interesting but not very consistent comment that was overheard at the same time was "It's because I like to hold you." ENTJFF SAID! ! ! THE INNER SANCTUM Did you see the spread that Hospice Inn had last week? Well, we are going to try and keep up the good work. We know the women are just dying to find out what is going on in the InnerSanctum. Hospice was left rather vacant last week-end. A good share of the men, including Dale Burklund, Bob Myers, George Jurgens and Jack Danley packed up all of their dirty clothes and took off for home. The first match of the House Tennis Tournament was played Monday night between Lloyd Jones and Tom Riddle, with Tom winning 6-2, 6-1. The grudge match of the tournament will be played Friday evening between Ping Pong Pavy and Herb Witt. They say they are going to charge 10 cents per person, but sneak around to the back gate and Jack Graham will see that you get in for a nickle. Of course, this is strictly off the record, so don't spread it around. Coach Pavy has been looking rather blue for the past week. The cause: the Lynden team of a former WWC man, Ernie Ludwick, beat Pavy's seventh grade team from the Campus school, 23 to 1. Is Hospice ever getting swanky, or is it? We now have a Rose Room. Pavlicek and Jurgens have been doing, what they call interior decorating. They have big sheets of red paper on their desks and when the light hits it, WOW! It makes you dizzy to walk by so you can imagine what it is like living there. Well, my pen is going dry and my eyelids are getting heavy so I will close my little book and turn in for another night. Yes, another day of rest. Bye now. ^ FLASH— Latest reports show that the old clothes drive sponsored by Blue Triangle pulled in quite a haul. Prexy Charlotte Samples made the remark "WWC made a good showing but now I haven t a thing to wear, but seriously the men are really the ones that came through with lod clothing, say is that Jonesie coming down the hall in that barrel?"

BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 No. 17 Assembly Mr. Wright, superintendent of Lyn-den, visited the Normal last Friday and favored the students with an interesting address. His theme was "The Teacher," and the remarks made were of especial value to prospective teachers. "The three little letters, etc., may embody all the vital phases of a teacher's life, which make for or against her success," said Mr. Wright in discussing some of the essentials of the profession. He went on to explain that "e" might stand for enthusiasm, without which no teacher can be sue- Enrollment Now 1,599 o- The enrollment for the school year is as follows: Regular Normal, 1,060.

S. picked up only 5 of 32 points distributed, they won lasting honor by fair play and a clean game. It must be so, the Seniors said they did! Heard in Cooking Class. Miss D.: "Tell of one way to prepare salmon." Bright pupil (eagerly): "Roll it in sawdust and fry it." (Note—Was that answer due to association of ideas or high cost of living?) Why doesn't Miss Woodard like pickles and why does Miss Willoughby like them so well? Miss Willoughby: "Have some pickles." Miss Woodard: "No, thank you. You may have my share." (A customary reply.) Miss Willoughby: "I have." And she had. The Normal five was again victorious last Saturday night when they defeated an ex-Normal team from Vancouver in the local Gym. The final score was 68 to 25. Altho this is a onesided game the score would have been much larger had the local boys played true to form. At times the Normal players were inaccurate in their basket shooting, but outside of this one fault the game was fast, the guards doing some especially good work. For Vancouver, their center position seemed to be the strongest and best filled. The teams were slow in getting started, nearly five minutes having elapsed before either side scored. Normal shot the first basket and a moment later the score was evened up. However the Bellingham quintet played the steadier and the first half ended with a score of 26 to 15. The second half was a repetition of the first with Normal getting a larger score and holding their opponents to a smaller one. This period ended with, the local team on the long side of a 42 to 10 score. "Ali" Henne's again showed his ability by uncovering an unheard of band. They played a few selections between halves. The crowd joined in the merriment and altogether it was a rare treat. The members of the band were: Craushaw playing clarinet, Mathews, piccolo; Barnet, cornet; George Miller, snare drum; McKinnon, bass drum, and Frances Devery played the piano. The Normal team has now won four games and lost none. They will try to keep their record unbroken when they play Everett here tonight.

SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC CLUB Roll call at the last meetng of the Social Dem. club was answered with current events and the 10-minute regular parliamentary drill was devoted to "obtaining the floor and what precedes debate." M. Agnes Kirkman entertained with the reading of "He Worried About It" and Miss Gardner gave a short talk in answer to the question, "Would You RaJise Your Boy to Be a Soldier?" Messrs. Hawley, Hilda Rosen and Walter Lidell successfully upheld the affirmative in a debate, "Resolved, That Preparedness Does Not Tend to Peace," their opponents being Messrs. Hawley and King. Some rathed astounding arguments were produced pro and con, an obi ging audience being prepared "to swallow most any-thing." Harriet Thompson was elected as chairman of the program committee, after the resignation of Mrs. Esther Shepherd was accepted. A letter from Representative Tom Brown relating to the society's anti-military training resolution, was read and other routine business disposed of. A lively discussion of the soldiers' attitude toward war delayed adjournment beyond the regular hour, affording food for thot to participants and listeners as well. MISSION STUDY CLASS. 1.

Many are ready to verify our statement that it is really the best that the Association has to offer during the year. At our first meeting, Mrs. Colby sang for us, "Jesus Is Calling." The two women, who came from Seattle, were then introduced and after a short greeting from Mrs. Soltan, Mrs. Campbell took charge of the rest of the meeting. Her main thought presented was "Oh! that our eyes might be opened." This proved to be the keynote for the entire institute. The second and third meetings were held Friday afternoon at 3:20 and 4:10. Mrs. Campbell spoke at 3:20 bringing us her message, first emphasizing "Ye must be born again." Her lesson was taken from the story of the "Woman of Samaria" and Jesus' words "I am the living water" were so forcefully brought to us. At 4:10 Mrs. Soltan had the meeting and her message was the story of "Cain and Abel." Gladys Hamley sang. Friday evening at 7:30 both Mrs. Soltan and Mrs. Campbell spoke. There was special music, a solo by- Ruth Elander. Saturday afternoon was given over to Missions. Mrs. Soltan told such interesting stories about her own children in mission fields and Mrs. Campbell also spoke, showing how plainly God says "Go" but we do not obey. Miss Sands sang for us "He Will Hold Me Fast." We feel that Bible Institute has been a real help and inspiration. For those who could not attend we are inviting you noAv to come to our regular association meetings Thursday at 4:10. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 3 - Page 4 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 The Weekly Messeng-e-r Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

This question of military training in the schools is one that should receive thoughtful consideration on the part of every citizen, and it is a question of special importance to us as teachers. Would military training as COMPETITORS may sell some things for less than YOUR store does, but YOUR STORE sells a lot of things for less than they do. Normal Book Store "Your own store." part of our school course be consistent with the aim of education as we see it? It is argued that the physical training obtained along with the training in military tactics would be worth while. Would the dual organization that Avould be necessary if the military department was to be directed by the government, be a help or a hindrance in the development of an efficient educational system? Let us think on these questions and be prepared to take an" intelligent interest in this movement, which is of such vital importance to our schools. A GOOD LOSER TAKES DEFEAT CHEERFULLY A good loser is one who takes his defeat as cheerfully as tho he were the winner. Such a one will buckle the armor on more securely, repair the defective parts, apply the oiled feather to the squeaking places and, with shoulders thrown back and head erect, resolve to "make good." In all the walks of life there are more losers than winners; with the former the scar may be indelible, yet the defeated one will conceal it or, at least, will not expose it. A certain teacher in this commonwealth says: "I never was a loser in the act of obtaining or retaining a position but what I took advantage of the opportunities offered and thus turned the apparent loss into a substantial gain. One illustration is quoted: At one place I was loser in that I failed to retain a position. Another position with a salary twenty per cent higher was secured and in the vicinity of the new position some land was purchased (just common dirt as is found on highways) which was disposed of at from 100 to 500 per cent profit. Those school district dads have received my sincere thanks for the benefits conferred upon me." Presidential Candidate Hughes, to all outward appearances proved himself to be a good loser in his loss in the race for the presidency. When he retired at 12:15 election night, he felt certain that he had won the prize which he sought; forty-eight hours later he found himself to be a loser instead of the winner. He congratulated his chief opponent for his success. That Mr. Hughes was disappointed, no one will deny; it was probably the greatest disappointment that he ever endured, yet his actions showed him to be a good loser. He thus set an example for people in all walks of life, from an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency to the unfortunate one in a game of marbles. WILLIAM BEARDSLEE.

In it, there were no carpets, nor easy chairs, nor luxuries; herbs lined the sides of the spare front parlor, and a poor dresser stood in the kitchen. From this kitchen dresser the widow ate her scant breakfasts, dinners and suppers, with an occasional egg, or, at most, two, to celebrate a holiday. These eggs were laid by Dame Bart-lett, spouse of King Chanticleer, who with him and her six daughters, roamed the widow's yard. Chanticleer went to sleep one night, and close to him slept his dame and Prices Moderate; Five course dinner every evening from 5 to 8 at 60c. Six course Sunday evening at 75c Banquets and Dinners gotten up on short notice. Tables may always be reserved by telephone. Hotel Leopold their six children. He had slept some time, when he groaned a groan and moaned a moan. "Get up! Wake up!" said Dame Partlett. "What ails you? What's the matter?" She shook him, for he was slow to waken. Chanticleer, with a deep sigh, drew himself up and Dame Partlett saw deep, dark hollows under his eyes, and saw a dejected forlornness in the face of her worse half. "I have had a dream," said he. "An uncouth shape, large and yet slender, came skulking toward me. I saw the creature had sharp eyes, perked ears, a long bushy tail, a slinky form and a sharp, pointed snout, withal." "You need a worm," said his practical wife. They went out of the house, side by side, hopping down the steps, and into the spring air. King Chanticleer said: "I feel better. I enjoy seeing the fresh green leaves of spring. The morning sunshine clears away the cold from my bones, but I still have a feeling that my dream is a warning." "Nonsense," said his wife. He answered: "I have known of many such things happening to people, after a dream like mine had warned them." His wife wanted to argue—she did. Then the chickens quoted a little Plato and they went in search of worms. As they scratched the mellow earth in search of its wriggley inhabitants, they were watched by a pair of sharp eyes which peered at them thru the rails of the fence. Far better that Chanticleer had stayed on his beam. The fox skulked in the corner till night. The chickens went to bed at sundown, as all nice chickens should. Then Chanticleer saw a slinking form come in the narrow doorway. He was very startled and nearly lost his equilibrium. He had never seen a fox. From instinct he shunned the pointed-nosed creature as a sailor shuns a rock. "Cluck, cluck," said he in a deep squawk. "Be not alarmed, beautiful bird," said the fox. "As I stood outside I heard a song, as of the angels. I did not intend to come but the song lured me on in spite of myself. It is no wonder you are a. good singer. Your father was also. I knew him intimately." The cock was pleased and accepted this flattery. "And now sing for me," said the fox. Chanticleer threw back his head, shut his eyes and flapped his wings. "Listen," he said; but the fox had him by the throat. His would-be song was changed to a throaty squawk, and the fox was gone, Chanticleer with him. Chanticleer's cries roused his spouse. Her cries roused the widow, and her cries the vicar and so on, till the whole village was in pursuit of the fox; people shouting, hounds baying, chickens crowing. A general bedlam ensued. The cock was frightened, but be-thot himself of a scheme. "Speak to them, Reynard," said he. "You are safe and the woods and your den are at hand. Tell them you are king and they are foolish to try to catch you." The fox obeyed, but no sooner had he opened his mouth than the cock was loose and had flown into a maple by the side of the road. The fox was very foxey and thot by soft words to again win over the cock. So, "Come down," said he. "Let us treat this matter peaceably. I only meant to take you over to my house for dinner. I should have been much pleased to have had you there. I only meant to frighten you a bit that you might enjoy the dinner the more. For 'Sweet is pleasure after pain,'" said he, quoting a little Dryden. "Nay," said the cock, "only idiots are fooled twice. We shall consider the peace movement, but I'll stay right here the while we consider it. We shall follow the policy of watchful waiting."

"Or, better still, Lieutenant, exterminate the lot." "I can hardly hold the men in check, sir." Aye, the brave lads! They are as anxious as you and I to get at the beasts." A hurry of British shells pour death into the German lines. A lull, then the khaki-clad troops clamber out of their positions in a mad charge. At the brink of the assaulted trenches the captain impales a German machine gunner on his sword. The impetus of the thrust throws him headlong into the trench, where, striking his head on the hard-trodden floor, the lies stunned. When the captain regains his senses he hears the groans and shrieks of the wounded. To this he pays little attention; many times before has he heard the aftermath of battle. As he looks eagerly about him he sees soldiers administering to the wounded and reconstructing the shattered trench, and as he recognized the men thus busily engaged as his own, across his face flashes a smile, grim and ex-hultant. However, a gasp directly at his feet attracts his attention. It is the dying struggle of the German soldier whom he has pierced with his sword. In the man's hand is a piece of paper. "Military secrets, perhaps," exclaims the captain, as he snatches it up. The paper written in German, is sploched with blood and dirt. He laboriously makes out the following: " your furlough. "Every evening I watch little Dora run to the corner to meet you, as she used to do when you would return from the factory.

HOW I BECAME A TEACHER (Continued from page i) I was one of those chidlren that all teachers know, precocious in book learning and childish socially. I was occustomed to being in a class of what seemed to me to be men and women. Late one afternoon, in the shadows of the empty halls, one of the boys, to my utter amazement, asked me to go to the next social with him. I loathed sociables. I gasped and said "yes," because, like Aunt Jemima, I didn't know what else to say. I spent the intervening days trying to forget the coming horror. In my mind I settled one thing. If I lived through this experience, I'd have my wits about me and never, never, never say "yes" again. The evening passed and, in my judgment, was an evening of superlative stupidity. When the boy, in the innocence of his heart, proposed enthusiastically that we go to the next sociable together, I was ready and replied sweetly that I didn't care to. Notwithstanding my inauspicious beginning in this uncatalogued department of college curriculum, I added to my college course and to my course in music a very comprehensive course in this department, with considerable very satisfactory post graduate work. I look back upon all three lines as being of great value to my professional career. I was very patriotic. One day I saw a squad of college boys going down to vote. The leader was one of my chums. He was just twenty-one and going to cast his first vote for president. They shouted and swung their hats with enthusiasm. It thrilled me as I witched them. I was a better student than he, could beat him in an argument and loved my country, but when I would be twenty-one I would not be allowed to vote. The thought gave me actual physical pain and it rankled until we won the vote here in Washington. The year after graduation I taught my first school—a little country school three miles from town. Things moved placidly and I could have had the school the next term if I had wanted it, but when I think of that term of work I am always tender hearted towards the poor teacher. I boarded at home during that term and mother took me to and from school in the carriage. On these drives we began definitely my study of bird songs. I had a chance for extraordinary work in nature study, due to my wonderful progressive mother. She had a genius for enjoying outdoor life. She made our home of five acres one of the first bird sanctuaries in the United States. Families of every bird of the prairie nested at Pinewood and we fed and protected them. In addition to the choice stock from the nursery we collected for these five acres every plant, shrub and tree possessing landscape value that we dis covered in our drives. There was always a spade under the buggy seat for emergencies. Then we also had a pond stocked with fish. We could pick up the young ones in our hands if we fed them. If you think there is nothing to see in such a place, watch a parent cat-fish taking care of its young in an overstocked pond! One of our family pleasures in the hot summer days was to drive to the river and have a sunrise breakfast, after which mother and father would fish, my sister would sketch and I would moon about under the trees, botanizing and writing. I had not once given up the plan to be a writer. When we moved to the new town I began teaching in the schools, but I always expected to quit teaching when I had made my success. I read, read, read and wrote. I should have turned it about. The summer I studied Darwin and Emerson was a landmark in my life. When I closed Darwin's "Origin of Species" I felt as though I had just been granted a glimpse into the workshop of God, while Emerson was a spiritual revelation to me. I taught with enthusiasm; poured all that I could of my outside studies. "Costly thy habits as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, or gaudy; For the apparel oft' proclaims the man." Shakespears advice is thoroly followed in these new ESJSSFT* Trimmed Spring Hats The simplicity of outline which dominates in the spring models, was seized upon as an opportunity to give individuality and distinction to them by means of rich materials. Trimmings are few, but suggestive of the Far East in color effects; bringing into prominence the hat fabrics as the back ground, and most prominent part of the hat. Silk floss embroidery, flowers, richly toned ribbons and a few metal effects constitute the trimmings; hats being covered with silk, satin, silk crepe, Milan and Milan hemp, priced $4.50 to $12. * J.

I wanted to see the world. 1 wanted to go West, where they paid better salaries and life was worth while. The family could not understand how I could want to live in a dreary boarding house among strangers and teach in preference to living at home and teaching. And I couldn't tell why, either. I only knew that I did. It was the urge of individuality. It is like outgrowing one's clothes. We went to California for a winter, but that did not satisfy me. I wanted to work in the West. On our way home we spent a month in Washington, and stopped at Che-halis. Prof. Forrest was city superintendent of the Chehalis schools and he and his wife had been my schoolmates in college days. I accepted a position in this school and the family went home without me. The West suited me. I felt myself expanding mentally. Besides teaching, I accomplished my first little success in writing. But at the end of two years I yielded to the pleadings of my people and went back to a position in the old school in my home town. This little bit of success in writing taught me how long it was likely to be before I could make a living in that work. You see, my expectation had somewhat subsided since the days of the George Eliot dream. Then the teaching in the West had appealed to my ambition more than teaching in the East. I did not deliberately give up my dreams, but I temporized. I resolved that I Avould push for professional promotion until I had reached a definite salary, on which I thought one person could live, then I would be satisfied, •and take time to write again. It is very amusing how many people have made that same bargain with themselves. Advancement in work is easy enough in the East, but not in salary. From the first I fretted and grieved for the life on this Coast. I'm afraid I was not very gracious to the lonely home folk about again living in the prosaic East. Panicky financial condition at last pushed me into the freedom I fretted for. I came here seventeen years ago and most of the time have been "teaching algebra on the Pacific Coast," according to the despised, prophecy. When I reached the salary at which I had promised myself to go hack to my first love, and take up my dream again, I found myself captain of the-family ship and the limit was not enough. So at last I became in my own. dreams what I had long been to the-world, just a "school ma-am." And really, it isn't so bad, after alL IDA AGNES BAKER. Generally speaking, Merle Austine is— Is what?

How and where Western's budgeted money will be used has yet to be determined, but Western's Board of Trustees hopes to have an allocation plan by August, said Jack Cooley, executive director of University Planning and Analysis. The Board of Trustees authorized the maximum increase of 6.7 percent for tuition next year, Cooley said. In-state, undergraduate tuition is $2,833 per year, but it will increase $185 to $3,018 in the fall, Cooley said. "These are unofficial numbers until. Gov. Gary Locke signs the appropriation bill (which disperses funds), but we don't anticipate any changes in those numbers," Cooley said. The budget does not fund all faculty pay raises, which leaves Western with some problems to address. The Legislature mandated a 3.7 percent raise for faculty and staff members for the first year, but the state will only cover 83 percent of the cost, Cooley said. Western will be required to cover the remaining 17 percent in order to meet the legislature's demand. "This leaves Western in a difficult situation," Cooley said. Western must come up with the additional money for faculty pay raises while dealing with the projected increase of utility rates, Cooley said. According to the Energy Conservation Task Force release, Western's utility rates are projected to take more than $1 million from Western's operating budget in 2001-2003 school years than 1999-2001. Cooley said the budget does not provide for the rate increases. The budget also set aside $31 million to increase full-time student enrollment. Before the new budget, Western was committed to reducing the number of new students to be in-line with faculty and Western's accommodations, because Western over enrolled last year, Director of Admissions Karen Copetas said. Last year 2,480 freshmen and 981 transfer students were accepted. This fall, the target number for new freshmen is 2,250 and 950 for transfer students. County seeks lake's mercury source By Mary Flynn THE WESTERN FRONT In an effort to protect Bellingham's drinking water and Lake Whatcom, officials from the City of Bellingham, Whatcom County, and Water District No. 10 are looking for a way to pinpoint the source of mercury in the lake. "We are looking for a consultant to be looking for potential sources," said Erika Stroebel, resources planner for the Whatcom County Water Resources Division. Stroebel said, the county requested proposals from consultants on how to find the source. "The request for proposals described the type of work so that the applicants can describe how they will do the research," she said. Eight contractors have applied, Stroebel said. "I imagine that we would start the project in two to three months at the earliest; maybe the late summer," said Chris Sudden Valley resident David Burmham sport fishes three to four times a week in Lake Whatcom near Basin Three, which tested to have the highest levels of mercury. Burmham regularly catches small-mouth bass from the lake.

The cost of utilities at Western will exceed the budgeted level by about $600,000 for the 2000- 2001 fiscal year, which ends June 30, said Jack Cooley, executive director for University Planning and Analysis. The Washington state Legislature has not provided budget increases to match increasing utilities prices, which means Western is not receiving additional state funding for the expected $1.5 million dollar increase in utility costs over the next two years, Cooley said. In response to rising costs, Western President Karen Morse appointed an all- campus task force to devise ways of reducing energy use on campus.

The Water Shortage Contingency Plan, a supplement to the exiting Bellingham Water System Plan, was passed in response to growing concerns about a statewide drought. Since March 14, when Gov. Gary Locke made his statewide drought declaration, Bellingham has maintained the advisory stage, lowest in the plan's four stages of alert. 'The advisory mode is typically the mode we're in during the summer," said Tony Seman, Bellingham Public Works superintendent of utilities. At this stage, community awareness about the possible shortage and preparation for practical means of conservation is the plan's focus. He said.if demand for water rises considerably during the summer months, voluntary measures for curbing consumption, such as an even/odd day lawn watering schedule, would be necessary. 'If we have a dry fall, that's usually when we see the lake level drop.' Tony Seman Bellingham Public Works superintendent of Utilities While Lake Whatcom's water level is at target height, the autumn months could make conditions more serious. Lack of rain during the summer and water overuse could precipitate a water shortage, Seman said. "If we have a dry fall, that's usually when we see the lake level drop," he said. Whatcom County Council member Dan McShane said the county government hasn't spent much of its time dealing with a potential water shortage. McShane, a member of the Natural Resources Committee, said water conservation in the face of a drought wasn't an issue because of encouraging current conditions such as lake volume. "Its impact on energy is a much larger issue, something we've dealt with," McShane said. "We've cut energy consumption by 30 percent." The water shortage plan states that out of 36 inches of rainfall that Bellingham receives annually, only five inches accumulate between mid- June and mid-September. The city provides approximately 73,000 people with water from Lake Whatcom and the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River. Lower than normal snowfall in the Cascades and an early snow melt this spring might hamper water replenishment from streams and rivers that feed into the lake. Drawing too much water out of the Nooksack River might also negatively affect the area's fishery resources, something the plan hopes to avoid. If conditions worsen considerably, the plan outlines a mandatory regulatory stage and an emergency stage. Mandatory regulations, triggered by a 100 percent increase in demand, would include the shutdown of any "ornamental fountains" that use drinking water, reduction in watering of public parks and baseball fields, and a watering ban on lawns and gardens that have existed for more than 30 days. At the emergency stage, the plan requires water to be drawn out of the Middle Fork of the Nooksack River at the city's diversion dam. Wading pools at public parks would be drained and closed, and lawn watering would be completely prohibited. Developing efficient usage habits for home and small office use is good preparation for a possible shortage, Seman said. Large consumers of water already are aware of the summer's possible strain on resources. "Generally, the commercial and industrial sectors â€” metered users â€” are conscious about their consumption," he said. Seman said he remains optimistic that the drought will not hurt Whatcom County was expected earlier this year. Compared to the 1992 drought, the area is in considerably better condition, although that is not necessarily in the case in eastern Washington, Seman said. County searches for contractors to find source of mercury in Lake Whatcom From MERCURY, Page 1 Chesspn, environmental health supervisor for Whatcom Health and Human Services. The current budget for the project is $100,000; however, Chesson said the organizations have not entered into contract negotiations with a consultant yet, the actual cost is uncertain. Though the project's primary goal is to identify the potential sources of mercury in Lake Whatcom sediments and fish tissues, the contractor would also be responsible for other duties and would be asked to make recommendations for source control once they have identified it. Signs around Lake Whatcom warn women of child-bearing age and young children not to eat the contaminated fish they catch there. "Drinking water is a prime concern with this," Bill McCourt, Operations superintendent for Whatcom County Public Works, said. "People will think, 'If these fish live in the water we drink, what does that mean about our drinking water?"' McCourt said. McCourt also said as a water provider, Whatcom County is concerned about deteriorating water quality. "There have been no measurable quantities (of mercury) in finished drinking water," McCourt said. "There have been measurable quantities in the raw water and the bioaccumu-lation in the fish." Presently, none of the agencies know where the mercury is coming from, McCourt said. "Currently we have not begun any source identification," Chesson said. 'People will think, 'If these fish live in the water we drink, what does that mean about our water?'" Bill McCourt Operations Superintendent for Whatcom County Public Works Officials do have their theories, Chesson said. Several potential mercury sources are possible around the lake, he said. "Landfills such as the Y-road landfills, naturally occurring sediments that could have come from the volcanic activity of Mount Baker or coal mining activities of the late 1800s or early 1900s could have disrupted some sediments and sent them into the lake," Chesson said. McCourt said the recently shut-down Georgia-Pacific West, Inc.'s Chlora-Alkalide Plant was a major source of mercury emissions in Whatcom County. County council member and geologist Dan McShane said he favors the theory of airborne mercury as well. He said he believes the low levels of mercury actually detectable in the lake water indicate an airborne pollutant. He said these mercury levels are common in lakes around the United States. McShane also said he believes it would be worthwhile to inspect creeks that feed into the lake to see if they might be where the mercury comes from. "Blue Canyon Creek discharges into the south end of the lake and there used to be coal mines there," McShane said, adding that he would be surprised if a point source for the mercury was found because of the low levels. Steve Hood, an environmental engineer for the Department of Ecology, said the mercury could come from a number of sources. He said airborne mercury could come from G-P or people breaking florescent lighting tubes. The mercury also could have come from global sources, as people put a lot of Mercury into the air, Hood said. i ^ ^ i S K I i ^ i l i i i K i i i H i i l K i i i i i i S S S S i smallmouth bass 1 The ^festern Front is published twice weekly in fall, winter and spring; once a week in summer session.

Passersby could not help but stop and listen as the sound of an electric violin soaring above jazzy bass, African percussion and electric guitar. Guarneri Underground quartet played its musical world tour as the first of Western's Noon Concert series. Forced inside by drizzling weather, the group dazzled listeners . "Come rain or shine we will always try to bring the music to you," band leader Jeffrey Sick said. Jumping from the beats of Puerto Rico, to a piece that honored one of the band's inspirations, Carlos Santana, the moved its listeners around the world with Bob Marley's song, "I Shot the Sheriff, and a little bit of Celtic magic from beneath the fairy hill. Sick said his band sounds like "the musical version of the travel channel," . Meridith Murray, a local businesswoman, read about the group and brought her boyfriend to hear the show. "I love all kinds of music, especially world music," Murray said. The couple enjoyed the music so much they took their shoes off, moved some table and began dancing to the eclectic beat. 'Come rain or shine we will always try to bring the music to you said, Jeffrey Sick GuarneriBand Leader Children from the Fairhaven daycare joined the couple and those who stayed in their seats were tapping their feet and clapping with the music. Both Sick and the band's bass player, Mikel Rollins, ventured into the crowd, kneeling down to entertain the kids, and engaging the small crowd. Combining an all-star cast of musicians, the band members each bring a different musical influence. Leading the band's whirlwind tour is Sick's electric violin and flamboyant showmanship. "Music is all about language and the best way to learn about music is to listen to people who really now how to speak the language," Sick said. Listening to musicians like Santana and Paul Simon, Sick got the idea for a band that would have the whole world as its stage. Combining his training on the violin and a love for all kinds of music, Sick formed the band in 1994 with only one other violinist. The band has grown since then and gone through a lot of changes. Sick has never held an audition. He found his other band members by talking to people who had a sound he liked. The band members "found each other like kindred spirits," he said.

The Outback? is home to Summer in the Outback - a week-long outdoor environmental education summer camp for children. The camp is sponsored by the Outdoor Experiential Learning Site and Bellingham Roots and Shoots, which is a non-profit program established by Jane Goodall that focuses on children learning about nature. Kids from local schools come each day to learn about and interact with nature. The camp is designed to give kids an opportunity to learn to love being outside and love the environment, said Jessa Friesen, Summer in the Outback camp co-director. "I want them to connect with nature," Friesen said. During the camp, the kids are separated into four groups by age. The campers are aged 5 to 13, and each chooses a nature name like Eagle, Star or Cat Litter, Friesen said. Each group has a theme for the week and is assigned a certain area of the Outback, called a quadrant, to cultivate. Within their quadrants, the campers participate in lessons based on their particular themes about nature. Groups learn about the natural resources within their quadrants and how to take care of them. For example, one group is studying soil while spending time in the garden and learning about what comes from the earth. "This gives them a sense of ownership," Friesen said. The groups partake hi one field trip each day and engage in various activities like a variety show for their parents, nature hikes and. a sleepover at the Outback where theyjhave ca^mjzfixes, night hikes and Evan Mathews stretches his face in frustration while playing a game Photos by Chris Goodnow/The Western Front Galen O'Moore, 9, dips his paintbrush for his painting of a bald eagle. The camp had many arts and crafts opportunities for the kids. "There are so many activities we don't get to them all," said Heather Gosnell, a camp counselor and Fairhaven student. "There's so much to do here." With the garden, performing stage, tree forts and natural arts and activities, the kids love to be in the Outback, Friesen said. The directors ..chose not to apply too much structure or pressure o"n the campers to learn, but decided to allow the kids to be- free in nature, Friesen said. '.'.-'â€¢ -?It just "feels so good to see the kids having a good time/' said Kristy Clark, Summer in the Outback co-director. 'It's too bad adults don't get to play more." Clark said Suinmerin the Outback is about enjoying the outdoors and creating a connection with nature. "I want them to make a connection with the natural world and have a positive experience in the outdoors," Clark said. "(The counselors) make it fun while you're learning, and you don't even know you're learning," said Shayla Jillson-Lucas, a camper. Clark said she wants the kids to feel like they belong in nature and not feel separated from it. Along with environmental education the counselors also teach the kids about respect and communication , Clark said. "There's a loss of play and loss of connection with the outdoors and the Outback creates an opportunity for kids who might not have access to the outdoors," Clark said. Friesen and Clark teach a five-credit 300-level course at Fairhaven College that students who want to become counselors for the camp need to take. This is the first year that student counselors have earned credit for the course, Friesen said. This the third year of the Summer in the Outback it has been the most successful, Friesen said. The camp has eight group leaders, two directors and 45 campers. The students met twice a week for listening to environmental education readings, practicing camp activi- Right: Nikolas Kelly, 6, grimaces as he hits a ball at the Fairhaven Outback camp Tuesday.

As camp counselors, the students were responsible for creating their entire curriculum for the week, organizing activities and purchasing supplies for camp. "We want the students to have a full experience," Friesen said. The student counselors turn to the directors for advice on how to work with the campers. They meet every morning before camp to discuss the previous day and what improvements can be made as a group and individually, Friesen said. This year the camp was able provide scholarships to 10 campers with the assistance of monetary donations from Fairhaven College and organic food donations from the Community Food Co-Op in Bellingham. "My goal is to never turn anyone away," Friesen said. Clark said the campers could come to the Outback anytime. Summer in the Outback began June 25 and ends June 29. The camp runs daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The camp is open to all children and costs $70 for the week. Created in the 1970s by Fairhaven students as a place for gardening. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 5 ---------- June 28,2001 SPORTS NCAA II Intramural The Western Front â€¢ 5 Western's high school football camp starts Head Coach Rob Smith teaches players about teamwork By Teresa Moreau THE WESTERN FRONT A loud roar emanated from Carver Gymnasium Wednesday as 800 high school football players from California to Alaska attended Western's football camp to become better players. Before campers took the field, the head coach of Western's football team, Rob Smith hyped them up. When Smith commanded a hit, campers were to crouch to their best defensive position until he said to relax. And that is what they did. When the helmets colored red, white and blue took over the football field they were split into varsity and junior varsity teams. The teams will played a variety of seven-on- seven or eleven-o- eleven games. Justin Odom, viking tight end and his teammates instructed the campers on their respective positions. Odom, a transfer student from Idaho State, attended Western's camp the summer before his High school senior year. "The camp helps players get better and get along as a team," Odom said. Another player returning to camp is Juneau High School Senior Eric Tollefson who is an offense receiver and a strong safety. This is his third year traveling from Juneau, Alaska for camp. Tollefson said that he has learned better reads. He said he enjoys camp because it's not about individual talent. "It is all about team effort," Tollefson said. His coach Ray Bradly said camp is a worthwhile because it gives players jump-start on the season. He said he would have brought more players if he could. "It is a great program," Viking tight end, Adam Snel said. Snel has been playing for Western for three years. " T he football camp has grown from 60 to 800 players in the past 12 years," Smith said. Smith lettered for three years at the University of Washington and played in the 1978 Rose bowl. He came to Western after spending five years as top assistant at Renton High School. Now, Smith is in his 12th year of coaching at Western and has been named one Western's Coaches of the century. Smith has lead the Vikings to .500 or better seasons for the past nine years. And his commands for the first day of camp were heard. All day long campers drilled, took hits and kept their heads up. Then at 9 p.m. seniors ran their sprints and got their heights and weights checked. They returned to their dorms in Fairhaven or Ridgeway for lights out at 10:30, when they could finally relax.

Chestnut â€¢ 65O-3650 BWESTERN H i WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Campus recreation activities will continue through summer quarter By Cheryl Baptista THE WESTERN FRONT Summer quarter has begun, barely anyone is around, the campus is dead. However, this summer the Campus Recreation Center is offering many activities and classes that are both physically challenging and entertaining. The Campus Recreation Center in Carver Gym is offering intramural leagues, non-credit classes, tournaments and open recreation use of campus facilities, secretary supervisor Katie Stiles said. Campus Recreation is responsible for running Carver Gym, non-varsity team sport clubs and the handling of gym reservations. Stiles said, "the activities get people together to meet new people." The summer intramural leagues include softball on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and soccer on Mondays and Wednesdays. Western students may sign up as teams or the Office of Campus Recreation can assign them" to a team. Non-credit step aerobics, yoga, and Thai kickboxing classes start this week. The classes cost between $20 and $25 and are two or three days a week. Campus Recreation will host a variety of tournaments this summer. The golf tournament will be on July 20, croquet on July 19 and 2-on- 2 outdoor volleyball will be July 16 and 18. Open recreation is also available this summer for tennis, rac-quetball, table tennis and basketball. The open recreation hours of availability and location depends on the activity. Open recreation is for all students, faculty and staff members and allows people to use the campus facilities during designated times. "Anyone can come, everyone is invited," Stiles said. Although there are fewer students during the summer, a greater percentage of those students participate in Campus Recreation activities, especially open recreation. During the summer people become more active and make use of the gym, Western senior and intramural supervisor Lauren Fode said. Sign-ups for all activities and additional information is available at the Office of Campus Recreation at Carver Gym 101, which can also be reached by phone at 650-3677. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ The Western Front OPINIONS Letters Editorials Tune 28,2001 Summer parking fees utterly ridiculous Summer session has begun. Empty dorms and a few students roaming Red Square mark summer at Western. But one thing is the same as the rest of the year â€” students still need to buy parking passes. There is never a break for students when it comes to parking. When one drives to campus he or she can see plenty of unused spaces in the C parking lot and campus residence lots. The campus residence lots stay primarily unused during the summer. Instead of parking in these empty lots students are forced to either take an inconvenient bus or become parking vultures and scout for a free parking spot outlying the campus. To purchase parking permits, however, is absurd during the summer. Parking rates are only discounted $10-20 from a regular quarter for a nine-week summer session. The cheapest parking lot is 16CR, which sits next to 21st Street. One should note that it would still be a hike to campus. Parking rates during a regular quarter help encourage students to find other modes of transportation. During the summer, however, Whatcom Transportation Authority buses run less frequently to campus. So, hopping a bus to campus becomes more difficult. Another reason to have high parking rates is to create competition for the spaces. In the summer, fewer students are enrolled according to estimates the Registrar's office gets. During the summer last year, 3,005 students attended Western. This summer it is projected to be the same. Western has plenty of space for students to park. Out of 24 parking lots, students are allowed to purchase permits for only four of those The only detriment of student parking for free on campus Js that people may lose their jobs. The Parking and Transportation Department is self sustaining and uses the money generated from permits to improve parking lots and pay salaries of Parking and Transportation management. If one actually drives in these parking lots they would notice and feel that these lots are riddled with potholes. Potholes that seem to be there for several quarters and never filled. So, if Parking and Transportation Services are unwilling to fix the problems, maybe employees should take a summer vacation. According to parking policy, most faculty and student parking lots are opened to the public to park for free after 5 p.m. The reasoning is that there are fewer people on campus at that time, thus lots are bare. Summer is the 5 p.m. of a regular quarter. Hardly any students are on campus. To pay for summer parking is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

The focus of driving becomes second to figuring out if we are going to ask that new girl in class out or not. We rock out to new music like Linkin Park that gets our ^adrenaline rushing and makes us scream as we drive down Bill McDonald Parkway with the other college students. It seems that the last thing we need in a car is another distraction. Cellular phones have been coming under fire recently because they are said to be distracting to use while driving. On June 25,the New York State Senate set a precedent by banning hand-held cellular phones while driving by a vote of 125-19. A recent poll by Quinnipiac University showed that 87 percent of New York voters supported the idea. The law will be backed by a $100 fine starting in November. 'It seems that the last thing we need in a car is another distraction.'' The New York Ban is a practical safeguard that should be followed by other states. In the current state of technology, with voice-activated dialing and hands-free headsets, the problem of being distracted while driving is easily solved. The New York ban allows for these earpieces, but forbids driver to actually hold the phones while driving. "The banning of cellular phones would lead to far fewer accidents on the road," Western senior Heather Bartek said. "People could and need to pay more attention to their driving skills rather than their communication skills while driving." Bartek, like so many other Western students, said she finds cellular phones easy to obtain, cheap to use and too convenient not to have with her at all times. All of us have seen the effects that cellular phones have on a person's concentration, and how some of us don't need any more distractions from driving. The time may come when people will laugh that we actually had to have a hand-held device. Until that time, however, all states should implement similar bans. This hand- held cellular phone ban would make for less dangerous drivers on the road, which means more lives saved and more girls and guys at the bars and in classes for us all to worry about asking out. How will you spend your tax refund? Tamara Harvey COMMENTARY President Bush has found the ultimate way to gain the affection and political allegiance of America's taxpayers tax rebate checks. Everyone who paid taxes this year will receive a check. The Internal Revenue Service will send out letters telling the amount of your check and when you can expect to receive it. Checks will be mailed according to the last two numbers of your social security number. Single taxpayers will receive as much as $300, single parents who head the household as '(O)ur government did not create a plan to use the money in a way that would improve the shortfalls of our country' much as $500 and married couples as much as $600. Supposedly, this is just the beginning of a $1.35 trillion tax-cut plan that Bush wants to enact over the next ten years â€” assuming he stays in office. No one can deny the happiness felt as we all anxiously wait to receive our. checks by mail. I will be faithfully checking my mailbox as my arrival date nears. Nothing is better than old, hard cash to spend at will. What is depressing is that our government, did not create a plan to use the money in a way that would improve some of the shortfalls of our country. Schools, homeless shelters and medical facilities could benefit from additional funds intended for technology or research. Is a little pocket change more important to us Americans? Though some frown at the fact that, like most of Bush's plans, the wealthy benefit most from the tax refund, people will be smiling when it is their turn to cash in. We have two options when our checks arrive: We can spend them wisely or consider them a late "birthday present" from the government One must decide whether to spend the check on rent and bills, of a sparkling glitter belt to spice up a dull wardrobe. ---------- Western Front 2001-06-28 - Page 7 ---------- June 28,2001 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 7 Underage drivers are protected by new Law Greg Woehler COMMENTARY The faces of people waiting at the Department of Licensing office in Bellingham on Wednesday looked as gloomy as the weather outside. Most of the seats were taken and about 15 people stood at the back of the room, rolling their eyes and shuffling their feet, waiting for their numbers to be called. DOL offices around the state are seeing a sharp increase in the number of applicants for driver's licenses as teens try to avoid new restrictions that will begin July 1st. The laws aim to make Washington's roads safer by limiting when drivers under 18 may drive and dictating who may ride with them. The laws are unfair and heavy-handed; they punish good drivers as well as bad simply based on their age. They are also completely necessary and justified. Driving is a privilege, not a right. With the possible exceptions of guns and football, nothing is closer to the average American's heart than dri-ving. Manifest Destiny is woven permanently into our DNA; deep down, we all want to be Richard Petty or Mario Andretti. We yearn to expand, explore and travel. We look at driving as a divine gift passed down from on high when we turn 16. But Washington roads are getting crowded and, inevitably, as the population grows, privileges must be sacrificed. Statistics clearly show that teens are the most accident-prone group of motorists. They have more than twice as many fatal car accidents as all other age groups combined. "For decades, auto fatalities have been the number one killer for 15 to 20-year-olds," said Rollo Van Slyke, a Farmer's Insurance Group agent in Bellingham. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, 520,000 teens were injured in car accidents in 1999 and 4,900 teens were killed. "That's an average of 13 deaths every day,"Van Slyke said. One of the new rules says new* drivers may not be on the road between 1 and 5 a.m. without someone 25 or older in the car. Another rule states that drivers between. 16 and 18 may not have any passengers under the age of 20 in the car unless they are immediate family members. If drivers under 18 get two moving violations, their license will be revoked for six months. "It's totally unfair," 16-year-old Jeremy Bonner said as he waited at the DOL to take his driving test. He scheduled his test weeks ago to make sure he beat the deadline. "I haven't even gotten my license yet, and they want to punish me for something I didn't even do. Sorry, kid, life ain't always fair. "I'm a good driver," Bonner said, emphatically. "I get good grades, I don't do stupid stuff. I'm not gonna turn into an idiot just because I have my friends in the car." Van Slyke said he was well aware of this claim among teenagers. "They'll say it makes no difference who they have in the car," he said. "But I can show you time and time again, teens get in cars with friends and it's an accident waiting to happen." Washington is hardly alone in buckling down on teen drivers. In fact, they're late getting on the bandwagon. Thirty-two states have already passed similar laws and 12 more are considering them. Van Slyke said there has been a 60 percent drop in teen driving fatalities in states that already have the laws. Besides making roads safer, the laws may have a slightly positive effect on the checkbooks of Washington drivers. He said the new laws aren't likely to lower insurance premiums for older drivers, but rates might not increase as quickly. "There's no way for insurance companies to charge teen drivers their fair share," Van Slyke said. "It would cost too much. We all subsidize teen drivers." When asked what he'd say to teens who may think the state is picking on them, he said, "The new laws are either gonna save your life or one of your close friends. Are we picking on them? No. The legislators are trying to save lives. "I think it's the best piece of legislation to come from the dim-wit legislators in a long time," Van Slyke said. |l;i||||Pesteni:;;M||| c/o the Opinions editor B^^nraiUiMSH westernfront@cc.wwu.edu m The Western Front reserves the rightto mar and libel.

The ECTF released a memo to the Western community May 29, stressing the importance of reducing energy and meeting Gov. Gary Locke's 10 percent reduction in energy consumption at each state-run agency. According to the memo, utilities will cost Western $1 million more during 2001- 2003 than they did during 1999-2001. The first step toward 'Quick fixes have been meeting the 10 percent , . . ^ gt;at, reduction, according to done in the past; now its the committee, is voluntary reduction. Employees and students were asked to turn off lights, shut down computers and unplug unused electronic equipment, especially during the peak hours between 8-10 a.m. and 4-8 p.m. Along with education on voluntary reduction, Western started making short- term operational changes such as not lighting sculptures at night and reducing heat in each building by two degrees. The second step will be making major operational changes that would affect building uses and scheduling. One proposed idea is extending Thanksgiving break to a week. "I think there were other, better ways of saving energy than shutting down for a week," Western graduate Megan Herink said. "I am paying for my education and I want to get all of the hours and time w i t h t e a c h ers." T h e final step in reducing energy use will be facility modifications. Although it is an important step in conservation, the facility projects will take funding that is not currently available. "Quick fixes have been done it the past," ECTF Chairman Bill Managan said. "Now it is going to take renovations which cost cash," he added. going to take renovations which cost cash' Bill Managan ECTF Chairman MyWestern.com opens this fall From MYWESTERN, Page 1 Larry Gilbert said the goal of the MyWestern.com Web site is to integrate information pertinent to Western students. Students will use their universal user name to log into the Web site and from there will be able to check e-mail from this site and others, such as Hotmail and America Online, Gilbert said. Students may also personalize the types of mail they receive and create their own accounts. Another useful feature for Western students will be links to their courses and to course bulletin boards set up by instructors. Faculty will also be able to send course lists to their' e-mail accounts. Students will also receive individualized messages pertaining to their major, including course changes and deadlines for applications. The site will not have advertisers. MyWestern.com has gone through test runs with help from Western students, said Laurie Jewett, a part-time consultant working with the Web site.' The response has been very positive, she said, especially with the new e-mail system. The new version of the Web site will be available for new students at SummerStart in August and open to all students fall quarter.

Show more1983_0628 ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 1 ---------- Olympia responds Faculty receive salary hike By PEGGY LOETTERLE Western's Board of Trustees, in a special meeting on June 20, adopted a plan to increase the salaries of Western's full-time facultymembers by 4 to 10 percent beginning June 30. It is the first salary increase in 18 months. Inaddition, the Legislature has appropriated nearly $1.9 million to bring Western salaries closer to salarylevels at Eastern Washington University. Those increases f probably will start in September, said Paul Ford, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The Legislature expects us to raise salaries tothat equal at Eastern. We have to figure out how much more money to give for raises in September,"Ford said. Gerson Miller, chairman of the faculty welfare and salary committee, said the committeehas recommended that the additional money be distributed on an equal basis on September 15.Faculty members at Eastern currently receive an average WESTERN FRONT Western WashingtonUniversity, Bellingham, Wash. Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Vol. 75, No. 35 salary of about $30,700, whileWestern's average salary is about $28,740, Ford said. "Even after the 7 percent increase in June, faculty still will receive about $1,500 a year less," he said. Milton Kreiger, head of the American F e d e r a t io n of Teachers at Western, said the across-the-board increase won't be fair to all staff members. "It ismy impression that the people at the higher levels will come out a lot better than people at the lowerlevels. The AFT will look at the salary schedule as a major issue next year," he said. The Juneincreases will be allocated several ways. About 317 faculty members will receive a step in payâ€”anaverage 3 percent increaseâ€”as well as a 4 percent cost-of-living increase. Sixty-four faculty membersalso qualify for a merit increase of 4 percent, bringing the total possible increases to 10 percent. Merit increases are awarded for service above and beyond that required for ordinary step increases and arebased on evaluations of teaching, scholarship and service. Eighty-seven faculty members will receiveonly the 4 percent cost-of-living increase because they didn't want to undergo a review for a salaryincrease, Ford said. Distribution of the $1.9 million will increase salaries by 4 to 6 percent more, Fordsaid. A plan for allocation of the money should be ready by the fall meeting of the trustees. WesternPresident G. Robert Ross said the increases apparently are the result of Western's arguments to theLegislature about the inequality of funding among state universities. Ross said, in a previous interview,that Western students and faculty had been shortchanged in state appropriated funds. Western'sstudent services and, physical plant operations didn't fare as well as faculty in thisyear's legislativesession, however, and will fall one million dollars short on money, Ford said. Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, is working on plans to reduce the effects of the cut, Ford said. Cost-saving idea wins top award By CAROLYN CASEY and VICKISIGGS Although she initially was. facedwith reluctance, Dorothea Kochajda waited six years to prove her method of floor care could saveWestern's maintenance staff both time and money. This month her persistance paid off, winning a$10,000 award for Western and reducing costs by nearly $80,000 a year. Kochajda, building servicessupervisor, developed a revolutionary natural-finish floor care technique that eliminates the need for the costly and dreary jobs of waxing, stripping and sealing Western's 80,000 square feet of resilient tileflooring. The mood of the management six years ago was in favor of staying with traditional floor care,which meant waxing, stripping and sealing of resilient floors, so Kochajda's suggestion was ignored, said Bob Hascall, physical plant director. Last year, when Hascall started work, Kochajda brought her floor technique to his attention, he said. "I was so intrigued by the concept that I wanted to start trying ithere immediately." Her method eliminates past floor care and replaces it with a three-part buffing andburnishing technique. A progression of stripping, scrubbing and buffing pads is used in conjunction witha 330-rpm buffer. Heat from the friction seals the floor surface, producing a hardened and highlypolished surface that never again needs a sealer or a wax to maintain its appearance, Hascall said.Kochajda said she sees this method as a morale booster for the custodians because they won't have tostrip floors again. "Stripping floors was our worst job," she said. Western President G. Robert Ross flew to New Orleans earlier this month to receive the $10,000 national award given by the NationalAssociation of College and University Business Officers and the United States Steel Foundation. "That's not the first idea that Dorothea has come up with for cost savings. Her contributions personally andtechnically have been very valuable to the university," Hascall said. Western's custodians beganusing the new technique last October, Hascall said. "The results were remarkable." He said the yearlysavings will be used to restore some services that were eliminated by budget cuts. The award moneyprobably will be used to start a fund rewarding Western's employees for innovative cost-savingtechniques, he said. Since Western won the award,, several universities expressed an interest inlearning the new technique. Kochajda went to the University of Washington to teach them themethod they now use on their floors. The process has been copyrighted by Western and furtherinquiries should go to the physical plant.

Peter Elich, formerpsychology department chairman, was selected from a pool of 11 candidates. He will assume theposition Friday. Tall and muscular, Elich looks as if he coaches football, which he did at BellinghamHigh School. "He is a highly regarded faculty member and statesman, who will provide strong leadershipfor the College of Arts and Sciences during this transitional period," said Executive Vice President and Provost James Talbot. Elich will serve as acting dean' for one year. The College of Arts andSciences has 22 departments and employs two-thirds of Western's faculty. It is the hub of theuniversity. "One year on the job is too short a time to show your performance," Elich said, "but thenthe School of Education, the School of Business and Economics and the School of Fine andPerforming Arts all have acting deans, too." He said he will make no changes in the college right away."Certainly no radical changes in the structure of the organization that might make things difficult for apermanent dean, although I must administer the College as though I were permanent." Elich said hesees his duties as dean are to provide effective management of financial resources, to participate indecisions for personnel, such as promotions and tenure, to provide leadership wherever possible, andmost important, to ensure that West- Marshy Elich named new heads of colleges Peter Elich, newlyappointed acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. era maintains a solid liberal arts core. "Theleast appealing part of administration to me is the clerical work. Nevertheless, it is a highly importantaspect of administering. The part I like best is working with people as a facilitator â€” creatingconditions so(' that people can develop their competency," Elich explained. Elich will replace JamesDavis,, who announced in April his. resignation as dean after nine years at the post. This fall Davis willinstruct political science. Elich has been at Western since â€¢ 1961 and was first named chairman ofWestern's psychology department in 1972. He is a graduate of the University of Washington, earned a master's degree from Western in 1959 and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oregon in1961. Before West-em, he taught at Whatcom Junior High School and Bellingham High School. He is anative of Bellingham. By DEANNA SHAW David Marsh, of the art department, has been namedacting dean of the College of Fine and Performing Arts for the 1983- 84 academic year. He willreplace William Gregory, who has accepted a Ful-bright award to teach and conduct research at the National Institute of the Arts in Taipei, Taiwan. The appointment, effective Sept. 1, was announced byJames Talbot, Western's executive vice president and provost. "David Marsh is a veteranadministratorwho demonstrated g success while serving as art iS department chairman in the Q 1970s,"Talbot said. "He is a well S known artist with a national and c international reputation." is Marsh joinedWestern's art Â£ faculty in 1957 after teaching in ja-junior and senior high schools in o Washington andCalifornia. He jÂ§ served as an art department i (X chairman from 1966 to 1974 and again during the1980-81 academic year. Marsh said he plans to continue work toward one of Gregory's majorgoalsâ€”better communications between the three departments of the college: art, music andtheater/dance. A number of measures already have been adopted to strengthen interdepartmentalrelations, including the formation of a faculty advisory committee composed of five members from thethree departments, more frequent executive committee meetings and quarterly faculty meetings,he said. Marsh said he is enthusiastic about the future of the college, which currently has 500 to 600majors and 36 full-time faculty members. He said he thinks a trend toward an interest in the arts isbeginning, noting this is traditionally the pattern after a concentrated interest in the sciences.Gregory said although the college's growth has been curtailed because of the limited number offaculty, its graduates are in demand and job placement has been excellent. More than 90 percent ofmusic education majors have been placed. Art and theater/dance graduates also have fared well andGregory expressed surprise at the high percentage of these graduates who are now employed intheir major field or a related area. Both Marsh and Gregory said they are pleased with Western's newbudget. Although individual departmental budgets have yet to be decided, Marsh said he thinks that, with the overall budget set for the next two years by the Legislature, some sensible planning can takeplace. "This is the most stability we've had since the early '70s," he said. Marsh predicted that his newduties will restrict his time to produce art. Marsh's watercolors and other works have been exhibitednationwide and are in a number of public and private collections, including those of WestminsterCollege in Fulton, Missouri and the Instituto Mexicano-Norte Americano in Guadalajara, Mexico. Marshhas a bachelor's degree from Central Washington State College and a master's degree from theUniversity of Oregon.

In addition to the new lights and carpets, the Post Office will be relocated to thearea that is now the entrance and the entrance will be moved to the front-center of the building. Also,mechanical improvements and the installation of floor and ceiling tiles will be part of the remodel, Elliot said. The cost of the project was estimated to be about $300,000 before the bidding was opened onMarch 21.

Complaints from students who are forced to wait in one line to buy books and then wait in another line to buy general merchandise are sure todecrease, he said. The new set-up will allow for buying books and general merchandise at oneregister. With the warm weather and decreased enrollment, construction will move swiftly, Elliott said. A three week closure at the end of the nine-week session, which is the usual summer schedule, willsee the finishing touches completed in time for the fall rush. Bookstore hours will remain the same upto that point. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 3 ---------- Western Front 3 Tuesday, June 28,1983 Huxley grad program may be offered winter By MARGARETCARLSON Huxley College of Environmental Studies will offer a graduate program, beginning the winter of 1984, if Western's Board of Trustees approves the recommendation by the Council for Post-secondary Education. Earlier this month, the CPE approved the program that has been in planningstages since 1980. Huxley Dean Richard Mayer said if the board accepts the plan, the graduate program will be offered winter quarter. - The graduate program would offer a master of science degree inenvironmental science to anyone with a bachelor's degree in one of the sciences and an interest in theenvironment, Mayer said. He said the master's program is "the most exciting development in Huxleysince it began in 1968." Mayer said the program is the first of its kind in the state. Although graduateprograms in environmental science are offered by other institutions in this region, the Huxley program isunparalleled. Students will have a choice of three areas of concentration: wildlife toxicology, ecosystemprocesses and environmental chemistry, a cooperative program between Huxley and Western'schemistry department. Each student must take a minimum of 45 credits, including a thesis. No othercollege or university in Washington offers a specialized graduate program emphasizing research inthe areas of Huxley's concentration. Mayer said the research students do for their thesis will linkHuxley and Western with environmental problem-solving in the region. Students will research problems such as acid rain, water-quality, the toxic effect of pesticides and development around LakeWhatcom. By conducting environmental research in our community, Mayer said he hopes to attractexternal funding from the state and federal governments, industry, private businesses7 andfoundations. Huxley's program also differs from other graduate programs in the region by requiringstudents to develop their own plan of study. Students work individually with an adviser to plan a course of study to meet their goals. Although Huxley has received about 250 letters asking about a master'sprogram, Mayer said he expects only about 12 students to enroll the first quarter and that eventuallyenrollment may be limited to 25. Alumni's parents give Western $75,000 land By DAN RAMSAYProperty vallued at approximately $75,000 was donated to Western by a Vancouver, Washington couplewhose son is a Western graduate. George and Sara Holzman donated the property, which is to be sold,with the proceeds from the sale used to maintain, improve and further Western's academic programs andactivities with special attention to biology, chemistry and their related fields. Their son, ThomasHolzman, graduated from Western in 1974 with a bachelor of science degree in biology. He went on toearn a Ph.D. in biochemistry and has just completed post-doctoral studies at Texas A M University. Hecurrently is employed by the Upjohn Corporation. George Holzman retired from Shell Oil Company in1980 after managing Shell's Anacortes refinery for about a year. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and wasgeneral manager of all Shell refineries during the 1970s. The property is located in Anacortes and divided into eight lots, Sara Holzman said, from her home in Vancouver last Friday. "It's not waterfront property," she said, "It's primarily a rock with beautiful views of the Canadian Rockies and the Guemes Channel." She explained that her husband dealt with Western on different occasions and he felt that theproceeds from this land would help the school. Since their son was a graduate of Western, theyespecially hoped to help the areas he studied in. "This very generous gift by the Holzmans will provide acontinuing benefit to Western and its present and future students," said Western President G. RobertRoss.

North American Indian photos now on display By DON HUDDLESTON Acollection of rare photographs by Edward S. Curtis is currently on display in the Viking UnionGallery. The photographs are from the original portfolios of Curtis' 20- volume work, "The North Ameri;(can Indian". ' Curtis, who thought the American Indian was a vanishing race, began recording allavailable information about Indian culture in 1896. He estimated the project would take ten years. Afterten years, the enormous undertaking was not only unfinished, but Cur-itis had run out of money. Thelegendary J. Pierpont Morgan stepped in and financed the iremainder of Curtis' research. By 1930 theproject was completed. Curtis had studied more than 80 tribes and taken more than 40,000 pictures.The 20-volume set collected dust for 40 years after it was published. In 1971, the Pierpont Librarypresented a major exhibition pf Curtis' work. Curtis, who died in 1952 at age 84, was finallyrecognized. Nearly all of Curtis' exposures were made on glass or copper plates. The portfolios wereprinted on a special Japanese vellum, a fine parchment made of animal skin, and are in surprisinglygood condition. The Curtis exhibit is taken from the collection of Louis Flury and Company's Edward S.Curtis Gallery in Seattle. VU plays host to musical trio Music fills hour By HEIDI JO YEARGIN It's notfolk, jazz, classical, rock 'n roll or country. It's not simple to categorize, but it's easy to enjoy. It's themusic of Uncle Bonsai, the vocal trio performing at noon tomorrow in the Viking Union Plaza. UncleBonsai consists of three talented singers with a witty style of performing. The group blends many typesof music with comedy to entertain the audience in a humorous musical theater.

TheLegislature's recent injection of $1.9 million into the pocketbooks of Western's faculty will bring Westernone step closer to its goal of achieving parity with Eastern Washington University. More importantlyperhaps, faculty members will receive long-awaited raises. Administrators, faculty members and students who have spent long hours in Olympia convincing budget-weary lawmakers that Western deserves atleast equal funding among the regional universities now have seen their efforts pay off. The additionalmoney specially earmarked for Western's faculty is the direct result of Western's pitch to legislatorsabout the inequality of funding among state universities. Meanwhile, beleagured faculty memberssubsisting on salaries rapidly losing the race with inflation now have salaries that are â€” gasp, puff â€”lessening the distance. Not only do the salary boosts offer financial support, but moral and practicalencouragement as well. Legislators have recognized Western's unequal financial status by backing whatis any university's most vital resource: its faculty members. On the practical side, additional money willenable Western to attract exceptional instructors to its classrooms, as well as retain the outstandingmembers of Western's faculty. The salary increases are a good sign. At least we know that someonedown there is listening to someone u p h e r e . . . . In the meantime, however, this might be a good timefor students to ask their professors for a loan Get those cards and letters in Western's summerquarter hosts attendees from all levels of education, from freshmen through graduate students to teaching professionals come back for a few more credits of brushing up and fleshing out. Summer quarter, withabout one-third the enrollment of a traditional academic quarter, could perhaps be compared to a seminar class with the possibilities of discussion and close interaction enhanced by the smaller numbers ofstudents. A potentially valuable forum for ideas â€” easily accessible and widely read â€” is the Frontletters column. This past year, controversies ranging from the efficacy of Christianity to the fair treatmentof "air band" contestants have raged forweeks at a time, pitting students against each other with aminimum of third-party interference.

Guest commentaries are welcomed.Graphic by Robin Henley Beyond hearse curtain The boy's parents had mixed feelings about the hearse. Norman, the boy's father, knew his youngest son was prone to take on outrageous endeavors, andhoped Brian's obsession with the rather conspicuous vehicle would fade like the rest of his childhoodprojects. A scarring childhood experience involving a \ grandmother and a hearse caused the boy'sstepmother to be a bit wary of the 15-foot automobile parked behind her home. Both parents agreedthe coffin containing the skeleton of the old Indian woman had to go. The back porch was no place tostore a body, they said, and the car's former passenger was left to fend . for herself at the local haunted house. It wasn't that Brian was obsessed with death; on the contrary, he looked upon thepermanent sleep with great amusement, and treated the subject accordingly. Girls reluctant toenter the "deathmobile" were reminded that they eventually would take their last ride in one anyway.People who would marvel at the notoriety of the car and question the sanity of the driver , would beacknowledged with a Gordon Weeks Editor shrug and "it gets me around." But the car wasn't meant to t r a n s p o r t chicken-hearted females or gawky passersby. The , hearse was purchased from aHalloween haunted house to amuse Brian and his friends, and if gas was in the mammoth tank,everyone from the-girl at the McDonald's drive-in window to the local baseball team would be theirvictims. The sight of a black-curtained funeral car has strange effects on people. Most conjure images of Herman Munster or Edgar Allen Poe; a youngster, figuring this rare-looking automobile was of someimportance, saluted it. Death is the Great Unknown, and everyone wants to know what has lurked (or islurking) in the back-end of the over-sized Cadillac. But a hearse is nothing but a hollow symbol of death,a post-mortality formality. It doesn't matter to most whether the car is empty or not â€” to symbol-conscious Americans, the black car represents nothing but the Big Sleep and other nasty things. Briangets a kick out of watching others becoming disjointed by his flippant attitude toward a vehicle theybelieve should be treated solemnly. Other people try to raise reactions from folks by flashing emblemsthat bring rise to other feelings. The swastika, one of the ultimate signs of evil, is bound to producesome response. The cross, a symbol of both suffering and salvation, is another rouser. Some animalshave gained connotations, including the dove (peace), the owl (knowledge), the raven (evil) and thealligator (wealth, when applied to clothing). Even colors symbolize moods and imagery: white is pure,red fiery and pink fey. So what does all this have to do with a boy and his hearse? The black car, thesymbol of death, carries lighting equipment, the making of illumination. But no one thinks, or dares, tolook beyond the curtains. Words muddle intent The halls of academia, the filings of a governmentbureaucracy, two friends in a coffee shop â€” ail use the same raw resource: words. Language is oneof the elements that turned man from a monkey with a big head into a hairless ape with small teeth.Language has been a powerful friend; yet it is capricious enough to cause great friction, too. "I mean,you know, like . . ." How many times have you heard that and mentally slapped the speaker? Afundamental and.useful skill, communication is a great responsibility. Words can be fun andeducational. They can start wars, and, ' generally, end them. Words put men on the moon and a tigerin your tank. Words can hide as well as inform. How many times do you get an illuminating flash ofTruth, but bust caps trying to get the . basics across to your neighbor? We've taken it a long way, but.basically language is hideously inefficient. You gotta make the Shaun McClurken Opinion Editor bestof what you've got. Really clever operatives can use language's shortcomings to their advantage,directing perceptions as they choose: In a simpler time, the Department of Defense was known as theDepartment of War; the nuclear industry made friends last decade by devising phrases such as"energetic disassembly" to soften the impace of such cruel realities as explosions in power plants.Guard yourself. Political, commercial and religious tracts in particular are given to verbiage with highemotional reflex and shadowy definition. Here's a sample list of words to always distrust if clarification is not forthcoming: â€¢ rights, peace, free â€¢ it, them â€¢ liberal/conservative, left/right â€¢ religion â€¢relationship â€¢ any word ending in -ism, -ize, -ist; any word or phrase originating in California or agovernment organization. Twisted people can come up with twisted speech patterns: Ron Ziegler,President Nixon's press secretary, admitted at a press conference the administration had lied at anearlier press conference with "Our previous statements are now inoperative," and President Reagan,whose administration has raised not saying what you mean to dizzying new heights, has dubbed theMX intercontinental ballistic missile â€” by design the world's deadliest weapon â€” the"Peacekeeper." He wants you to know what he wants you to think. On a more mundane, day-today level, two phrases to beware this summer are: â€¢ "Now Only (dollar amount)" â€¢ "Plus Co-hit (movietitle)." ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 5 ---------- â€¢ Western Front 5 Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Senate bill passes; tech expansion due After years ofencouragement by the state Legisla- ~ ture, Western's technology department has plans to expand thisfall by offering classes in north Seattle. Clyde Hackler, coordinator of the new program, said he isreasonably confident the program will consist of three upper-division technology courses per quarter. Theclasses may be taught at Shoreline Community College because it has the equipment needed foradvanced machine-tool technology. This class, and other upper-division courses applicable to industrialtechnology degrees, currently are not available to students in Seattle. Since 1969, the Legislature hasbeen interested in expanding technology programs at all of the state's regional universities, Hackler said.In a 1979 state Senate resolution, legislators became more interested by stating that the threeuniversities had to extend their technology programs to previously unserved areas, he said. CentralWashington University was the first to comply with the resolution after it developed an in-house funding in 1982. Classes were offered in the Tri-Cities through Central's technology department. Western, however, had problems finding resources to offer the courses. Now, due to the recently passed Senate Bill3155, funding is available to all regional universities. The funds will go primarily toward paying instructors' salaries, Hackler said. Students will be charged an extra fee to pay for classroom rental and equipmentcosts, in addition to regular tuition. Instructors probably will be chosen from the Seattle area inindustry- government and education. Hackler, who recently stepped down as Western's technologydepartment chairman, will work part-time as the coordinator of the new program and will instruct part-time on Western's Bellingham campus.

As we shared our individual riding preferences, the sky, through the tiny tavern windows, became grayer. "I think it's going to sprinkle. Oh, well," victor Madrazo, 32, said. Like the third, member of ourhappenstance riding trio, Robert Ashworth, 28, victor still was game. But the weather would shorten theride for us. Funny, in Bellingham, a lot of bike rides get sprinkled on. Oh, well. We decided to take inthe forest scenery and bayside views on Chuckanut Drive Besides being beautiful, it's only a fifteen-minute dash to Tony's Coffee House (compensation for a likely drenching) from Larabee State Park,the midpoint on our 12-mile roundtrip. As we sipped our beers, Robert suggested we ride on theInterurban Trail, which parallels Chuckanut Drive, instead of taking the roadway. "Why not the road?"Icountered. "There's a lot of crummy corners on Chuckanut. It's a lot safer on the trail," Robert explained. Victor nodded appreciatively. Five minutes after leaving the tavern, we took our first break at the lookoutabove Boulevard Park. On the dock, below us, several teenagers were fishing. Half a dozen bicycles,and a dozen people dotted the grass fields. A soupy mist made the bay look sensuous. It's no wonderthat some folks never bike further than Boulevard Park, I thought. As we continued on Boulevard to Fair-, haven, staying within the stripped bike! lajne, I asked Robert what kind of bicycling-experiences he hadhad. "A few weeks ago I rode on 1-5 to Peace Arch Park (20 miles north) and I really enjoyed it. There'sall that shoulder just for me/like on Boulevard," Robert said. I asked victor the same question. "I just ridearound town," he answered. Robert, appearing ponderous, energized the mobile conversation. "I'm kindof philosophical about bicycling. I look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoy it. and Iwaited at the top and sucked oranges. I scanned the vegetation around us for a place to throw theorange peels and recognized the familiar Chuckanut vegetation: alders and maples, an occasionalevergreen, lots of huge ferns, and a glacial boulder, blanketed with thick, bright green moss and babyferns. My peripheral vision spotted something I hadn't expected. A horse dung. It was fresh."HorsedungTlsaidtoRgbert. TVr^BrTaqJ^m/oSop^ look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoyit. And I get lots of exercise." And I get a lot of exercise," Robert explained. We passed up a stop at the Fairhaven district, but couldn't resist the rose garden at Fairhaven Park, which marks the beginningof Chuckanut Drive. A few hundred feet south, at the playfield, 50 persons were watching a softball game, despite the constant rain. Rain? What rain? A few hundred yards past the park is the biggest hill weencountered. Patrick Vala, in The Whatcom County Bike Book, describes the hill as moderatelydifficult, an elevation gain of 150 feet over a few. hundred yards. "Oh, that monster hill," Victor mumbled. A brisk downhill run led us to the turnoff for the Interurban Trail, California Street, a hundred feet past theChuckanut Store. The California Street hill is less than a hundred feet long, but also is very steep., victor walked his bike up the hill; Robert. "I see horses here sometimes. But mostly joggers. I don't mind that," Robert said, meaning the defecation. "It's just the dogs. They chase me. There's a few houses along the trail. The first leg of the trail was a sharp downslope. I discovered one disadvantage of bicycling on thetrail: loose gravel can throw a bicyclist if he's not careful. My companions recognized this, too. We rodeslowly, but the pace seemed to match the calm, solemn mood of the forest. Along the trail weencountered two fairytale waterfalls and several large sandstone cliffs, revealing glacial folding typical of Chuckanut rock. After an hour we stopped a mile short of Larabee Park, where we were to drop toChuckanut Drive, victor and I were ready to head back It was beginning to rain even harder. Robertreminded us of the promised views of Chuckanut Bay and the San Juan Islands.; We back-tracked, riding twice as fast as we came. Gravel flew from our tires. Damn Gravel. It would be more fun on a bicycle-motocross or mountain bike, though. It took only fifteen minutes to return to California Street. Robert ledus back to the Chuckanut Store and then veered right, a few yards past the store, onto Old SamishRoad. The final leg of the journey, the final leg before the warm coffee at Tony's, began on the south sideof the road, just past the intersection. The trailhead was a tiered, muddy set of switchbacks. We walkedour bikes up. At the top, Robert pointed out a large concrete slab that jutted from the natural landscape. "The Interurban Trail used to be the old railway. It went through to Seattle," Robert explained. The finalmile or so of the trip was different than the previous section. The path was narrower and cut throughovergrown fields dotted with apple trees (at this writing the apples were a few inches across). Weraced past the wet fields until we reached Valley Parkway where it meets 24th Street. As we began tonegotiate traffic, on the way to Tony's, Robert's mood became more somber. Those cars were intrudingagain. At Tony's the thought of crisp apples, which would be ripe early this year, floated in and out of my mind, as I sipped coffee. Images of the mist over the bay and the foothills, green forest and waterfallsand a snapshot image of dew condensed on a maple leaf all decorated my imagination. Then, Iremembered, it hadn't been raining for some time. Somewhere between California Street and Tony's ithad stopped raining and no one had bothered to mention it. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 7 ---------- Western Front 7 Tuesday, June 28,1983 m The Stratton family already knew the wine-producingpotential of the land when they began growing grapes in the Nobksack Valley. The lush river valley,protected by Mount Baker and other surrounding peaks, provided the ideal growing conditions forWhatcom County's only winery. "The area has had a long history of having good ground," horticulturistJim Hildt said. "Al Stratton grew up in Everson, and he knew of the land since he was a kid. It wasalready under our noses." In 1978, Albert Stratton, following a 24-year stint as a military surgeon,began planting his vineyards with early-ripening grape varieties that would later become the first harvestof the Mount Baker Vinevards in the fall of 1982. The company's 20 acres will yield two to eight tons ofgrapes per acre, or 320 to 1,250 gallons of juice. "It's unusual for all the grapes to be grown by thewinery," Mary Taylor, assistant business manager, said. "We like to experiment with a lot of differentwines. Most people use tried-and-true methods, but not these guys." Stratum's interest in wine-makingbegan with the gift of a home winemaking kit from his family. For seven years, Stratton was thewinemaker for the Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Unit of Washington StateUniversity at Mount Vernon. He perfected his winemaking skills and became aware of the commercial potential of many unusual grape varieties from England, France, Austria and Hungary. WhatcomCounty has the same latitude as the wine regions of Germany and the Champagne areas of France.. An average of 210 frost-free k days each year is part of the 1 key to the abundant grape production. Yet the climate varies enough for the grapes , one mile west of the winery to 1 ripen a week before the crop infront of the company; the fruit will not grow two miles to the east. The harvest begins in late August andearly September. The grapes are crushed in small basket presses, the juice flows into work tanks,which â€¢ can hold up to three tons of grapes. The juice then is poured into large stainless steel tanks,yeasts are added and the fermentation process begins. The winery uses both From humble beginningsto grand endings. Grapes ripen in the misty sunlight of the Nooksack Valley. This crop won't be ready until September, but in the meantime, a visitor enjoys the fruits of previous harvests. champagneyeasts and a "Davis" yeast that was developed at the University of California. As the yeast bodiesfeast upon the sugar of the grapes, alcohol is produced as a by-product. The steel tanks, the largest2,365 gallons, are full from October to December. The wine is bottled through the winter months. thewine in stainless steel tanks rather than wood, Taylor said. "Wood is a pain in the ass," she said."Every time you move the wine, you have to clean the barrels. We just use wood for the aging process." Oak chips are added to the wine to impart the flavor that traditionally is acquired from oak barrels. Andas one tourist suggested, that's what makes the wine "oak-k." The Mount Baker Vineyards, just 11miles east of Bel-lingham on Mount Baker Highway, is housed in a one-story structure, which serves as a warehouse, production room, bottling room and a tasting area. "It's a small outfit, and we make thebest use of space that we can," Taylor said. The majority of work done on the design and construe-^tion of the 5,000 square foot 5 winery was accomplished by Hildt and the Stratton family. The winery has a 20,000 gallon production capability and currently produces 13,500 gallons of wine. The MountBaker Vineyards specialize in white wines and currently employs 20 different kinds of grapes, althoughthe company is experimenting with 40 varities. Six varietal wines are availa-, ble for sale, ranging fromdry dinner wines such as the Okanogan Riesling at $6.50 a bottle to the winery's own "Crystal Rain"selections at $3.00. They also offer fruit wines made from apples ($3.25) and cherry plums ($4.25).Although the wine is availa- . ble in Whatcom County stores, it is distributed more widely in Seattle.Mount Baker wine is served in Spokane and as far south as Tacoma. Visitors in the tasting room areadvised first to examine the clarity and brilliance of the wine and aerate it by swirling the glass.Patrons then are asked to "stick (their) noses in the glass and take a strong whiff...half of the taste issensed through the nose," Taylor said. The wine then is' sipped to coat the entire tongue and visitors are told to breathe back through their noses to capture the full flavor of the wine. Hildt said he doesn't seeany other wineries popping up in Whatcom County in the hear future. "Everyone will be watching us fora while," he said. "We're a pretty unique organization, and it takes a lot of commitment to takesomething like this on; there's a lot of time and money involved." And what do the neighbors think about having a winery in the area? "It's fun for them," Hildt said. "In a few days we're going to have a largegarage sale, and all the neighbors will come along and drink some wine. "We intend to keep it a smallfamily winery." The Mount Baker Vineyards is located on Mount Baker Highway. From Iâ€”5 take ex/7255 and follow the highway 11 miles to the winery. Currently tours are being given infor-.. mally. Thevineyards are open from eleven to sz'x, Wednesday through Sunday. k. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Tuesday, June 28,1983 Summer Film Schedule Sweet Bird of Youth July 11 ArntzenHall 100 6:30 Paul Newman plays Chance Wayne, a gigolo all consumed with his ambition to become abig Hollywood star.

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER NOVEMBER, 1905 THE B. S. N. S.-FROM 1891 TO 1905 THE first definite step taken toward the establishment of a state normal school at Bellingham, or rather Whatcom as it was then called, was the introduction by the Hon. Michael Anderson of a bill providing for its establishment. The bill provided simply that the school be located somewhere in Whatcom county and that a commission of three men be appointed to select a suitable location. The land finally selected by the commission, consisting of Gov. John H. McGraw, Geo. E. Atkinson, and W. H. Bateman, was a tract located on the northwesterly side of Sehome hill between the cities of Fairhaven and Whatcom. The donators of this land were the Bellingham Bay Improvement Co., the Fairhaven Land Co., and the heirs of the Lysle estate. Gov. McGraw vetoed the first appropriation for the erection of a building. The first money appropriated was $40,000 by the legislature of 1895 for the erection of the original building. The first board of trustees were Major Eli Wilkins of Fairhaven and Hon. R. C. Higginson and Hon. J. J. Edens of Whatcom. A third appropriation, that of 1897, suffered the fate of the first, a veto, and the building was unoccupied for two years. The legislature of 1899 appropriated $33,- 500 for equipment and maintenance of school. With this money the campus was cleared and fenced, sidewalks built, the building furnished, laboratories fitted up, the library opened with one thousand volumes and many other necessary items furnished. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger The first faculty was installed in the spring of 1899. There were six members, three of whom, Dr. E. T. Mathes, Mr. John T. Forrest and Mr. F. W. Eply, are still doing good work for the institution. The other members of that first faculty were Miss Jane Connell, Miss Avadana Millet and Miss Sarah Rogers. Circulars of information were distributed throughout the western part of the state and the informal opening exercises were conducted September 6, 1899. The opening address was made by Judge Jere Neterer, president of the board of trustees. Mayor Hardin, of Whatcom, and Mayor Clark, of Fairhaven, also spoke. The enrollment the first day amounted to 160 young people. And it is interesting to note that all classes and all courses were included in the daily program made out for the first year's work. At the end of the first month the number of students had increased to 230, necessitating the addition of three more members to the faculty. Miss Ida Baker, Miss Catharine Montgomery and Robert B. Vail were chosen. Of these, Miss Baker and Miss Montgomery still remain. The first year's graduating class numbered eight young ladies;.graduates from the elementary course receiving five-year certificates were sixteen in number. During the summer of 1900, the citizens of Bellingham Bay provided funds enough to finish five more rooms and to add three members to the faculty. Miss Tromanhauser succeeded Miss Rogers as supervisor of the training school. The senior class of 1901 contained 29 members, the corps of practice teachers about 50. The legislature of 1901 appropriated $93,800 for the building of an annex and the maintenance of the school for two years. The school year beginning September, 1901, found the school with a faculty of fifteen members, a much larger number of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger students, the annex built, the laboratories enlarged, the library improved, the museum arranged, etc. Since then the work of the institution has advanced steadily. Each summer new improvements in the grounds and equipments have been made. The library at the present time contains 8,000 volumes and the museum 5,000 specimens. The building has furnished 72 rooms, which include a large auditorium, 3 laboratories, a well furnished gymnasium, fitted with hot, cold and shower baths and dressing rooms, a society hall, a Y. W. C. A. room, library, museum, office, faculty reception room, professional library and work room, manual training rooms, lunch hall, recitation rooms, and cloak rooms. The average annual attendance for the first six years was 303. For the past two summers mid-year sessions have been held and regular work offered. The legislature appropriated in 1903, $83,- 000, $9,000 of which was used for the completion of the annex. The appropriation for 1905 was $80,000. The most important recent improvement was the building of the new dining hall. The old dining hall was moved to a site south of the annex and more than doubled in size. It now contains a large public parlor, a private parlor, and three living rooms on the first floor, in addition to the dining room, kitchen, pantry and closets. The second and third floors have been devoted to sleeping rooms, bath rooms and a large trunk room. A furnished laundry occupies the basement. Each of the sleeping rooms is provided with steam heat, electric light, table, chairs, bed lounge, pillows, dresser, rug and window shades. Other furnishings are provided by the occupants of the rooms. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger The boarding department of the dining hall is conducted upon the club plan, and all regular boarders will be given a voice in the management of the club. The lecture courses provided by the Normal have become a feature of the literary life of the school and have been well patronized by the citizens of Bellingham. The cost of the lecture course tickets is nominal. The lecture course includes each year historical, scientific and ethical subjects. The year 1905 has opened very auspiciously for the school. The faculty, originally six in number, are now nineteen. Dr. Mathes has consented to remain with the institution for the number of years for which he was recently re-elected. Mr. H. G. Lull has succeeded Miss Tromanhauser as supervisor of the training school. Miss Sperry, Miss Miller, Miss Gray and Mrs. Smith are also new teachers. In every department the work is being carried on vigorously and thoroughly. The rapid progress of the school may well be considered remarkable, but several conditions have combined to make it possible. Among these should be mentioned the need which was felt in the western part of the state for a normal school, and the harmony which has always existed between legislature and trustees, trustees and faculty, faculty and students, and, last but not least, the kindly support given by the people of the state. "06." A POEM The fabled muses are again loose on earth and have been haunting the halls of our "Majestic Normal,"1 as the following eulogistic- elegy or elegystic-eulogy would indicate. The author, although not an expert in "feet" and "metre," has the true poetic spirit and is un-erring in his (?) choice of lofty themes. Oh, what is so rare as Dr. Jack ? There are dozens of girls upon his track, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 And his modest cheek turns a dainty red Whenever he hears a woman's tread; For he knows that Cupid with his darts Is searching for tender and manly hearts. So his maiden heart beats high with fear When assembly hour is drawing near. With trembling limbs he mounts the stage, This martyr of the Schlolastic Age! And the kindly curtain shields his face From a hundred women's brazen gaze. Was man e'er known to suffer so? Cans't 'magazine a heavier load of woe Upon a mortal here below ? It may ne'er be sung, and may ne'er be said, The burthen of this kinky head. But when this modest man is dead And all his eulogies are said, I pray thee come and drop a tear Upon his sweet, untimely bier; And read these words— There lieth here one whom the world too rudely pressed, A man with all the charms possessed But his sweet young life was worn away, And his sunny curls turned an early grey, Because the unfeeling world would look At his charming face. So the sweet flower drooped 'neath the scorching Sun And Dr. Jack's short race was run. SIRIUS SOCIETY NOTES AIMS OF OUR SOCIETY As we are beginning a new year and many of us are new to the work of the S. L. S., it is fitting that we discuss briefly the ends toward which we, as a unit and as individuals, are working. It should be remembered that first and foremost, we call ourselves a literary society. Let us then be in fact a literary society, our object being to raise literary ideals of our members by teaching appreciation of, and by encouraging the production of literary gems. (?) Do not smile, kind reader, diamond cutting takes time and who will say what talent is to be found within the Sirius Literary Society ? There is hardly one of us but what feels, constantly, an inability to express thought in a clear, concise, logical sequence. Our so- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger ciety, by giving drill in debating, impromptu speaking, etc., tries to help its members to a more complete mastery of their mother tongue. This is a result well worth striving for, for upon our ability to use language depends, in a large measure, our growth, peda-gogically speaking. The culture of a nation is measured by the flexibility of its language, that is, by its power to express subtle shades of meaning. As individuals we may rest assured that our culture will be measured by the same standard. In close connection with fluency of speech we find fluency of voice. How much may be expressed by one sound uttered in varying tones. Tone lends color, life, soul, to spoken words. Histrionic ability is sought for and encouraged in recitations, essays, etc. We all know that "music hath charms" and we seek them. Many of our members are familiar with the masters, and those of us who are not, attend Miss Moore's classes. Just a word as to the social side. It pervades the entire work, making a unit of many minds working harmoniously towards the same end. As one, we enjoy our Friday sessions. Officers of the Sirius Literary Society: President Miss Nellie Thompson Vice-President Miss May Sloan Secretary Miss Helen Miller Treasurer Mr. Chas. Jones Sargeant-at-arms Miss Selma Glineburg The first meeting in the year 1905-06 of the Sirius Literary Society was held September 29. The program was short but very interesting. Miss Walda Wall recited in her usual interesting way; a piano solo by Miss Allen was well received. Miss Ellis and Miss Lewis rendered an instrumental duet with the skill we always expeet from them. An impromptu debate on the subject, Resolved: That coeducation be abolished, was decided in favor ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 of the negative, for which we girls aredevotly thankful, the opinions of the boys to the contrary not-with-standing. We really hope that we will not have a bad influence upon the young men of the institution. THE CLIONIAN SOCIETY The Clionian society this year numbers about one hundred and twenty-five members, of whom fifty-five are new students, whom we are glad to welcome. The society is planning to do some strong work this winter, though as yet there have been no carefully prepared programs, owing to the lack of time and the election of a new program committee. The officers of the society for the first quarter are as follows: President Miss Judith Hawes Vice-President Miss Lena Smith Secretary Miss Isabelle Holt Treasurer Mr. R. A. Moore Sargeant-at-Arms Miss Minnie Osberg Reporter Miss Mildred Wilson Pianist Miss Floy Sullivan Program Committee Miss Whitaker, Chairman, Miss Pearl Perine, Miss Frankie Sullivan, Miss Tressie Flesher, Miss Minnie LeSourd. THE YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB At a special meeting of a few members of last year's Debating Club, it was decided to carry on the work of the club. As only a few members had returned to school an invitation was extended to all the new young men to become members. A few accepted the invitation and signed the constitution. This increased the membership to sixteen of the most active young men in school. At the same special meeting the following officers were elected for a term of one month: Mr. Nichols, president; Mr. Cory, vice-president; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger Mr. Scanell, secretary; Messrs. Smith, Tibbies and Anderson, program committee, and Mr. Montgomery, sargeant-at-arms. The first regular meeting was held the following Thursday and a good program was rendered. As the purpose of the club is to cultivate ease and freedom in speaking, debates and impromptus are always given a prominent place on the program. To make the programs more interesting and for the sake of variety, essays, descriptions, invectives, orations, dialogues, declamations and songs are often given. Up to the present time all who have taken part in the program have shown a commendable spirit and if this spirit and activity is kept up we hope soon to be recognized as the third society of the school. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of about six hundred student societies in this country affiliated with the national movement. It aims to unite all the young women of the school in mutual helpfulness as they strive to follow the teachings of the Master. By this Christian fellowship it aims to foster and promote the spiritual life of the student body. Through the training in Christian work which the association offers, through the summer conferences and through the help and inspiration received from the visits of the student secretaries and its weekly devotional meetings, it helps to send out of the school Christian women whose lives shall be a vital force working for all that is deepest and best in life. The Young Women's Christian Association is not a substitute for the obligation one owes to the church of her choice, but joins more closely one class of people of all sects or no sect who have the same interests and the same problems and the same temptations as they seek to put into practice the teachings of Christ. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 The Y. W. C. A. desires to be of real service in the school in the way of helping new students and in being ready at all times to lend a hand. It is just because we students are so crowded with science and history, mathematics and language, methods, practice, physical culture and society; because we are removed from the restraints of home and thrown upon our own resources; because we are strangers in the churches, that we need this closer bond to keep our spiritual life apace with the intellectual—to keep both well poised, to make them steady in purpose and to give beauty of character. Because the Y. W. C. A. has come to fill this place in college life, it has won the devotion of thousands of the best students in the land. The officers of the Y. W. C. A. this year are: President, Minnie Carver; Vice-President, Ethel Cook; Secretary, Walborg Olson; Treasurer, Minnie LeSourd. ATHLETICS Rickety! Zippity! Rickety! Zap! The Athletic Season is on Now that the necessary red tape of organization is over, work has begun in earnest. The Association officers for the season are: President, Sarah L. Van Reypen; vice-president, Ray Montgomery; secretary and treasurer, Belle Holt; athletic editor, Nellie Appleby. Interest at present is centered upon the winter sports of basket ball and foot ball, but until now little has been accomplished in either line. Foot ball seems to be hampered, as various other Normal affairs often are, by a scarcity of young men; but it is to be hoped the ability and faithful practice evidenced are not to be wasted through unlucky circumstances. On account of the heavy study program, the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger Seniors will not be able to take as active a part as usual in the basket ball of this semester, but expect to enter the contest for the Kline cup. Miss Mildred Wilson has been chosen as manager of'06 team. The Junior class teams have been organized and are practicing regularly. Manager Frances Coburn expects to have a good team as there are strong players from several well known High School teams to re-iuforce last year's line-up. The present line-up is: Forwards—Miss Johnson, Miss Pillman, Miss Goldthwaite, Miss Crocker, Miss O'Farrel. Guards—Miss Perkins, Miss Coleman, Miss Appleby, Miss Moyer, Miss Corbet. Centers—Miss Stanley, Miss Sloan. With the two upper class teams and those being organized in the lower classes, an interesting contest for the "Kline Cup" is expected. Until the teams are selected and have had some practice no schedule can be arranged between the various managers, but the degree of class spirit now in evidence foreshadows an eager contest. SENIORS The present Senior class will, without doubt, be the "banner" graduating class of the Bel-lingham Normal, for we already have a membership of 47 and there are still others planning to enter next semester, which will probably swell our numbers to over half a hundred. Soon after school opened the class met and elected the following officers: President Jessie Scott Cowing Secretary Lena Smith Treasurer : Georgie Ellis Associate Editor Luella N. C. Whitaker Basket Ball Manager Mildred Wilson Our Senior class have caught the true Bel- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 linghara spirit and although they cannot do much toward the subsidy plan or the electric sign on Sehome hill, yet they can unite their efforts to advertise the town, and that is what they are planning to do. They have designed and will soon place on the market a fine lot of novel Bellingham hat pins. These pins will be just the thing to send to eastern friends for Christmas gifts, for they will represent beauty, utility and best of all—your city. As soon as the order can be filled you will find them for sale by every enterprising, home-loving merchant of the city who carries that line of goods at all. First come, first served. THE CRY OF THE SENIORS Little we ask for our wants are few, Our one great want is now well known Just one very plain little boy will do— A boy we can call our own.—Snap. COME EARLY AND AVOID THE RUSH Old gold, old gold, old gold Or new gold if you will, Old gold, old gold, old gold Old gold is our color still.—Snip. Miss Fogg is developing the word rear in the primary department of the training school—used it in several sentences. Firmly believing that she had performed her duty, she said: "Johnnieyou may use the word rear in a sentence." Johnnie replied—"I have a rear." Oh this is the trial of the Juniors In mourning they wish to be, Are they mourning in black for the white Man Or in white for the heathen Chinee? Now this is a puzzel for teachers To find out what the Juniors be, Can weclass them in with the white Man Or in with the yellow Chinee.—Snip. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger THE SENIOR RECEPTION One of the most pleasant and successful student affairs that has been given since the founding of the institution, was the reception given by the Senior class on Friday evening, October 6. The society hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and made a most attractive and home-like reception room. Two interesting corners were the Japanese corner and the Indian corner. A table full of curios brought by Miss Horner from the Hawaiian Islands and some photographs loaned by Dr. Mathes were of interest to all. The guests of the class, about two hundred and fifty in number, were received at the head of the stairs by the reception committee. Many students and friends of the school were present, but over half the faculty were conspicuous by their absence. Music, rendered by different members of the class, made a pleasant undercurrent to conversation throughout the evening. The program was unique and pleasing, consisting of the following numbers. Solo Miss Frankie Sullivan Pantomime..Miss Krausse, Miss Van Reypen Tableau A Modern Romeo Miss Flesher, Miss Graham, Miss Van Reypen Tableau The Three Stages Miss Glineburg and Miss Peek Miss Krausse and Miss Van Reypen made the hit of the evening in their Pantomime, The Modern Romeo was so true to life that it made the girls homesick. To appropriate music, selected, arranged, and played by Miss Geogie Ellis, Miss Glineburg moved through the three stages in a bachelor's life, "Single Blessedness" as he dreams over his paper, "Less Blessed" as he vainly attempts to sew on a button and "Blessed Indeed" when a little wife keeps him company in the evening. Fruit punch and wafers were served by ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 members of the class in the Y. W. C. A. room.

President Walter Nichols Vice-President Dorothy Jennings Secretary and Treasurer Ethel Cook Sargeant-at-arms Herman Smith ||: Brek-a-ke-kex, Quax! Quax! :|| Third Year. ALUMNI A member of our staff visited the Skagit County Teachers' Institute last week and recognized among the assembly the following ex-students and alumni: Julia Argus, Alice Kellogg, Evelyn Kirkpatrick, Loretta 0'- Laughlin, Elsie Ware, Helen and Edna Whitney, Gertrude Bigelow, Edith Austin, Myrl Hays, Edith Trafton, Grace Dickey, Josie Little, Lottie Graham, Burton Doran and Mabel Steen. It is the work of such teachers as the above that causes the superintendent and principals of Skagit county to look to our Normal school to supply them with assistants. Institute week brought many familiar faces back among us. Several alumni were seen wandering through the halls of their Alma Mater. Miss Mary McBride, '01, and Miss Hattie Pratt, '02, visited the primary department of the training school during institute week. Miss Statira Biggs, '03, is a senior at the U. of W. this year. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger Miss Elsie E. Ware, one of our elementaries of '04, is teaching another 9 months term of school at LaConner. Miss Ware is one of Skagit county's most successful teachers and ranks high in her chosen field of labor. Miss Mary E. Patric of the class of '03 visited the Normal last week. Miss Patric is first primary teacher at Monroe this year, while other members of the same faculty are Alice Carmen, '03, Bessie J. Lloyd and Annie Noble. They have a fine basket ball team at Monroe composed wholly of teachers. Sometimes when we look over the names and recall the familiar faces of the Alumni we cannot keep the following little stanza from chasing through and through our mind: All are scatted now and fled, Some are married, some are dead, And when we ask with throbs of pain Oh, when shall we all meet again ? The ancient timepiece makes reply, "never." Although first half of the second line seems almost an "ad absurdum" when thought of in connection with normal girls, yet injustice we must say that it sometimes does happen, for example Miss Ida Pillman, '03, became Mrs. W. E. Townsend last June and is now living at South Bend, Indiana; and Miss Anna Risley, an elementary of '04, gave up a promising career as a pedagog to unite her interests and fortune with that of Dr. Geo. Boyd, a brilliant young physician of Palouse. Others have "scattered and fled" to the following places: Jessie Jamieson, '05, teaching at East Sound; Florence Sears, '04, teacher at Snohomish; Jessie Lawrence, '02, german and mathematics in Snohomish high school; Lucy Vestal, '03, and Eva Comegy, '02, grade work in Snohomish; Ethel Hunt, '03, teaching in high school at Colfax, Wash.; Gertrude Streator, '02, student atU.of W.; Lillian Burke, '05, teaching at Snohomish; Emma Gruber, '03, is at her home in Winlock—not ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 teaching; Emma Dubuque, elementary of '02, wielding the birch and chalk at Snohomish; Edith York, fourth and fifth grades at Wallace; Effie Rear, '03, Granite Falls; Helen Collins, fifth grade a t Kirkland; Bess Darland, '04, Custer; Mrs. Anna Temple, '03, first primary at Chehalis; Gertrude Smith, '03, Everett; Myrtle Alexander, teaching near Snohomish; Ruby Smith at Downs, Lincoln county; Cassie Gifford, '05, a t Robe; Ethel Everett, '04, Custer; and Myrl Hays, '05, is guiding the intellectual development of the seventh grade at Sedro-Woolley. JUNIORS PRAYER Give us of your poise, O Seniors ! Give us of your knowledge, also, Of your power of penetration,— Of your power to see through us. We, as little lambs, will follow Up the path if you will guide us, To the summit of the mountain Known to men as "Hill of Knowledge." We are young, our footsteps shakey, We are weak, our hearts are quakey. You are like the sun above us,— Like the shining orb of heaven To point out and light our pathway Up the Mount of Understanding, To the goal of Normal Wisdom, By your loving grace, O guide us ! JOKES 1. Frequently heard in Junior roll call— "Miss McClure, er-rather, Mr. McClure?" Because there are no boys in the Senior class is no reason to doubt that the Juniors have three. 2. Oh!

We are justly proud of our paper, not for itself alone, but because it stands as a representatives of one of the foremost Normal schools in the northwest. We extend congratulations to every one who has been instrumental in raising and maintaining the standard now prevailing in both school and paper. It is our intention this year to publish eight numbers of the NORMAL MESSENGER, beginning with this—our first issue. We gratefully appreciate the support given us, through our advertisers — for them we bespeak your patronage—without their support we could not publish a monthly paper.

LOCALS In the early part of July Miss Rose Wilson, who did substitute work in the English department last year, was married to Mr. Clarence Heuson, vice-principal of a New Orleans school. The jroung couple toured the southern states and are now at home in New Orleans. Let the watch word of each old and each new student be,—Do your best. During the teachers' institute week many old faces were welcomed to our school. Miss Van Reypen went to Seattle to see Ben Hur; while there she paid a visit to the University. The old students who know one of our former teachers, Mrs. C. N. Chaplin, nee Miss M. U. Myers, will be pleased to know that a baby boy came to gladden their home in September. The hearty congratulation of the students are extended, and best wishes for the health, wealth and happiness to the heir. Ben Phelps and Gordon March, Normal boys of the last year, students of the University at present, came up to attend the Senior reception. Miss Ada Hogle and Miss Lena Dodd took a pedimotor trip to Lake Padden one Sunday. The "fierce Kabibonokka issued his lodge of snow-drifts" and made us an unbidden visit one day last week. Everyone but the Cherry Seniors seemed chilled by his icy presence, but nothing short of a "midnight minstrel" can phase a Senior. Miss Edna France went to Seattle to see Ben Hur. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS MORSE HDW. 60. 1025-1039 ELK ST.

The collection, considered to be the largest and most varied of its kind ever assembled, wasmade avails able through the efforts of J. Mogensen, Danish Vice Consul in San Francisco, Arthur Trace To Lecture Here Dr. Arthur S. Trace, author of "What Ivan Knows That Johnny Doesn't", will give acomplimentary lecture at Western Washington State College Monday based on the content of hisbook. Arthur Trace Trace's book, published last year, compares text materials in reading, literature,foreign lan-jguages, history and geography Jin the Soviet Union and the s United States. His lecture isset for 8:15 p. m. in the college auditorium. He will follow it up at 9:30 a. m. Tuesday by appearing on apanel to discuss reading content and comprehension in the two nations. in who had the works flownin from Denmark and asr sembled them in the collection. The exhibit is titled "Danish Daily Life InGraphics." and includes works in advertising posters and poster stamps (miniature posters used asletterheads and letter seals), advertising mobiles, displays, greeting cards, and wrapping paper. Thereare also posters made of reproductions of works by artists such as Klee, Chagall, Michaux andothers. In a letter Mogensen said that since the showing, about ten years ago, of 130 Danish,posters inseveral large American cities, "graphic art has stepped modestly aside, and repeated successfulexhibits in the U. S. of Danish furniture, silver and textiles may have left the art-interested Americanpublic with the false impression that our graphic design and industry is on a lower level than our otherarts and crafts, or even worse: not worth showing." "The Danish Lithographers Guild and the DanishConsulate General in San Francisco are deeply grateful to the Graphic Arts Department at Western forhaving given them the opportunity to dispel that misapprehension at least in a certain measure,"Mogensen said. The 200 works are designed to give the viewer an idea of the artistic quality, humor and vitality of graphic art in Denmark today. On discovering that the collection was being assembled,the San Francisco Museum asked that they be allowed to put it on permanent display. The exhibitwill be here throughout the summer session. Financial Aids Along with the many new departmentsand new official functions being established for the next year, one has been set up that should providethe student with a well-organized and efficient, method, pÂ£ getting money;. William Hatch, agraduate fro,m Western with many years of counseling and advising behind him, has been . installedas the: new.Finjmqiai; Aids Officer. Hatch graduated. from Western .in 1943, ^[ith; a, major, inppuhseiing.:and.guidance. 'He received his M.A. ,from;,GJarÂ«mont College in,-; California;. Afterteaching for sevei^u. , :yearsr in jjijaipr and ^senior l\igh schools in California, he moved to Everett,Wash. Prior -to coming to Western, Hatch was head of counseling at Mountlake Terrace High Schoolnorth of Seattle. The complex system of loaning money will be moved behind WWSC To HostGraphic Arts Educators Noted authorities in the field of Graphic Arts, educators, printers, editorsâ€”allwill come together Sunday to begin the week-long conference of the International Graphic Arts EducationAssociation. Over 300 members of the lt; IGAEA are expected to attend, making this the largestconference in its 37-year history. Representatives from 28 states; two territories, four countries, and27 colleges and universities will be attending the conference, held for only the second time on the WestCoast. Santa Barbara hosted the graphic artists five years ago. There are several reasons, accordingto Dr. Ray Schwalm, head of Western's Graphic Arts Department and chairman of the conference, whyWestern was successful in drawing the largest conference attendance yet recorded. The main reason, Schwalm feels, is the number of noted speakers to appear on the program. Major speakers on theprogram include Faber Birren, color consultant; David White-fprd, .vice president of. Wniteford PaperCompany of New York; Stephen Baker, creative designer; : and Richard Coyne, art director andeditor. , Birren, who has published 16 books on color and who is considered to be the world'sauthority on color, will present one of the major lectures of the conference at 8:15 p. m. Tuesday inthe auditorium as part of the summer Concert-Lecture series. Birren studied at the Univers i ty ofChicago "and the Chicago Art Institute. He has been a professional color consultant since 1934-. Histalk Tuesday is titled, "The Relation of Color to Form and Function." The major speakers will appearin seminars and discussions throughout the week. In Wrestling this door, just a few steps away fromthe main entrance of Old M. The National Defense Education Act fund, the.college loan fund, and theemergency loan fund, will be incorporated with the scholarship programs and the part-time employmentsys~ tem in an attempt to put all means of student assistance in one place to better serve the poverty-stricken. DR. RAY SCHWALM. left, discusses some of the problems faced in preparing for the GraphicArts Conference next week. A Real Summer Has Just Begun Think it was hot this week? You possiblydon't recall that on July 27. 1958. the thermometer hit a record 102 degrees, the hottest, everrecorded by William S. Perry, official U*. S. Weather Observer. During a three-day stretch lastyear, July 11. 12 and 13. the mercury hovered at 95, 99 and 93 degrees. With Monday of this weeklisted as the warmest day of the year so far, the temperature hit 87. Sunday was second warmestwith 85 degrees recorded, and Tuesday was a comfortable 84. Summer isn't over, we hope. There havebeen no 90 degree temperatures yet to give Perry's thermometer a workout. Swedish Film, 'Brink OfLife/ Last In Series Sweden provides the setting for the dramatic film, "Brink of Life," the last of thesummer Foreign Film series, at 7:30 p. m. Sunday in this auditorium. The film, directed by IngmarBergman, portrays the story of three women awaiting the births of their children in a hospital maternityward One, an intellectual looking forward to her child to save her crumbling marriage, loses it ih amiscarriage. Another, an unmarried adolescent, has already tried an unsuccessful aborcion. Thethird, presented as the essence of maternal womanhood, loses her child in protracted labor â€” ascene that won actress Eva Dahl-beck the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The second feature on the program will present three films starring Charlie Chaplin. All four of the majorspeakers, along with members of Western's faculty, will appear in a symposium at 7:00 p. m.Wednesday in the Auditorium-Music Building to discuss the "Impact of Color and MotivationalResearch on Graphic Arts Products and the Consumer." Included as speakers in the symposium areDr. Graham Collier and Dr. Herbert Taylor of Western's faculty. Dr. Ralph Thompson is the symposium leader. Other events on the program include the, Thursday night banquet and dance. President Jar-rett will be the. main speaker at the banquet. By NIGEL ADAMS Although Wrestling Work shop's areold hat to one of the nation's greatest wrestling coaches, the session starting Monday is another first forDr. Bill Tomaras. Tomaras is known for the initiating of the wrestling- program at WSU and for the final development phase of the program at USC Since joining the faculty at Western last fall and enteringthe school's first team into competition, Western's physical education importance has been, on theupswing. Tomaras held a brief session for high school coaches last winter when about 30 men from the state ranks showed up for some pointers. This session for a week starts on Monday at S a_ra. andruns till 4:30 p.m. The important thing about the course is its practicality. Instead- of talking it over in acoffee shop .bull session which chiaiacterize's a part of summer session for coaches this will on. theother hand be marked by actual work in the field:-.--. - - â€¢-:- â€¢ - The participants will wear full gearand learn through doing.

Dr. Snedeker willleave at the end of the nine-week session to take up the duties as president of New Mexico WesternCollege in Silver City, New Mexico. "The past year has been a vigorous and challenging one," Dr.Snedeker said. "I have enjoyed the intellectual atmosphere of Western and have particularly enjoyedworking with President Jarrett whom I consider one of the great educators of our time." In regards to thefuture of Western and some of the things he foresees in it, Dr. Snedeker said that we are "definitely onthe growing edge of a new era." "Western has a sufficiently diverse . faculty representing varyingphilosophies to continue to be a source for bold new practices," he said. He said that he has alwaysconsidered Western as one of the best teacher education colleges in the country. "I sense here atWestern a dedication to teacher education that! is well above the average," he said. Turning to anotheraspect of Western's growth, Dr. Snedeker said that the development of the arts and science curriculumshould be "high priority items in Western's expansion." He added that he hopes the social sciences willnot be neglected because of increasing work in the lab sciences. j "The fact that when the ex- 1Continued on page 3) Seafair Tops World's Fair Fun BOB'S DRIVE-IN IS HAVING ANOTHERSEATTLE'S THIRTEENTH SEAFAIR FESTIVAL will be staged this year against a backdrop of aspectacular Space Age World's Fair.

Being the epitome of the "generalpublic," an uninitiate, and a rank novice, I though I had long ago given up my bold and brash forays. intothe art realm. But I was very much impressed with the display, even though none of it had been arranged and much yet unpacked, arid I had better say something now, before it all gets said. Much of thedisplay deals with advertising â€” posters, mobiles, poster stamps, displays â€” and since advertising isaimed at the "general public," I am safe in talking about its effect on me, and I need say nothing aboutcolor, design, etc., of which I know nothing. I suppose I am no different than all of us in that I, too,succumb to the advice and, often, commands of the ad man's messages. But I am offended (as we allmust be) to think that many of our nation's advertisers seem to think that I have no taste, no sense ofhumor, and little intelligence. The venerable prophets of Madison Ave. seem to think that they needonly to slap me with bold colors, catchy slogans, and sexy girls, and I will rush out and spend, spend,spend. Sadly enough, it's usually true. The point is, if I have to be told what to buy I'd rather have them"tell me in Denmark. The attitude behind the advertising posters from Denmark seems to be that ofproducing something you'll see. and want to read, as opposed to the attitude here that you won't even want to see it, but if it hits you hard enough you'll buy the product without even thinking. To digress intothe content of the exhibit, notice, for instance, the terrific poster of the piano-playing tigerâ€”it makes me want to attend the circus just to see the wild, roaring beast that can be made fun of. Or perhaps thelittle poster stampsâ€”they can't use billboards in Denmark, so they've gone to the other and morefascinating extreme. And no marred scenery. Since I lack the proper critic's vocabulary, try this: Are you chained to the advertising habit? Try Denmark for a change. Or: Buying more now and hating it? All inall you get a lot to like in this exhibitâ€”humor, quality, and plenty of good taste.

Topics will 'be selected from those submitted by students or staff the week previous to agiven symposum and stated at the end of each feature. Contributions will be accepted from any who.rares to submit his opinion; ' in the unlikely case that contributions exceed available space they will be considered on the basis of readability, pointedness, and contrast to other writings. All opinionsshould be stated within a maximum of 125 words. The purpose of such a feature is to give theanonymous student a chance to state views without the intellectual drudgery of writing a completecolumn or the pretence of composing The Very Proper Letter to the Editor. Names will be printedwith the contribution or witheld on resuest. SICK, SICK, SICK -'â€¢ Since one must begin somewhere, we have selected the first topic, "Sick Humor: What is it, does it swing, is it nasty, why don't morepeople dig it, etc." If you dislike the opinions stated, feel free to wax brilliant; only one qualificationâ€”the printers haven't learned to set up snarls, so let's keep this bit intellectual and use words. JoeFascianiâ€”"Sick Humorâ€” what is it? This .is the appeal for humor through the use of materialtraditionall considered taboo. Such material would include death, illness, both physical and mental,people in mishaps or even gory accidents. Yet how sick is this? I feel that the very fact that it is nowdiscussed where previously it was banned is a sign of awareness, even if that awareness seemscruel or crass. Was it a virtue to ignore the negative aspects of life now considered humorous? Thatthe irreverence and lightness displayed toward these aspects is sick may be true, but how can thematerial be sick? If so, then all life must be sick. I feel irreverence is essentially healthy, for it means a lapsing from dag-matism. Sick humor is hardly about to usher in a philosophy of awareness, but it maystartle that which most needs itâ€”ourselves." Anonymous Girlâ€”"Wild." Grad Student in Psychâ€”"IRemember-only YOU can PREVENT FOREST FIRES! have heard approximately 14 so-called sickjokes in my life. 13 of them I heard after spring quarter 1958. The other one was about the kid who finally found the baby's soft spot which I heard shortly after the birth of my son: I don't know." JackNeillâ€”r"Somehdw I prefer 'Sick' humor to the 'Pat and Mike,' 'Amos and Andy,' 'Farmer andSalesman' type jokes one used to hear with their quaint allusions to 'nasty' acts and 'human' foibles. Atleast a sick joke makes one realize the callousness with which we go around performing our roles, afact that old humor tried to pass off as being the expression of 'illbred and ignorant' people from'unfortunate' ethnic groups. For instance: the mother-child bit that runs, 'Mommy, mommy, why can't I . . .?' and Mother, 'Shut up and . . .'â€¢ hits home the adage about honoring one's father and mother in anoperational way. 'Sickists' do not merely play lip service, they do their duty with a vengeance. Or takethe one; 'Can Johnny come out and play . . .' Merely an extrapolation from a child's view, of whathappens in an adult worldâ€”where one uses another only to be abused in turnâ€”where regard for theburden of another's affliction is a ceremonial mouthing, sacrosanct but not serious. I think 'Sick'humor is a sane rebellion against the hypocritical maudlinism of business society and big peergroups; the exposure of street life to the eyes of 'Right Thinking' policy makers." Bob Galf ord â€”"Sick Humor â€” ah, yes. It is the sick who call this type of humor sick. Their sickness is that they arementally handicapped. Oh well, I suppose one should hire the handicapped. After all, they are fun to watch." MORE TO COME Unfortunately there were several contributors who failed the deadline,however we look forward to printing their opinions next week. Dr. Roy Mumme of the faculty has beensounded on this issue and may be cajoled into offering us a morsel of his marginal mentality. Surelythere must be someone who finds "Sick" humor abominable and detestworthyâ€”let's hear from you!First Wrestling Workshop Held (Continued from page 1) Lynch who coached the Javee's for Hubbardlast year.

The Western Front WESTERN WASHINGTONUNIVERSITY FRIDAY â€” OCTOBER 7,1994 VOLUME 90, ISSUE 5 New degree tough, but worth itStudent tests academic theories in real life; 'sometimes theory doesn't work' By Dana Goodwin Frontreporter Management students have a unique opportunity at Western â€” especially if they're planning on working in the manufacturing field. The manufacturing management program in the College ofBusiness and Economics combines traditional business courses with those in engineering andtechnology, providing students with a better understanding of all aspects of business, said PeterHaug, an associate professor in the management department. "When they come out, they'll have avery solid foundation in the engineering/ technology side, the manufacturing/operation side, the leadership side, as well as all the other general business background," Haug said. "We feel they will be very strong contenders in the marketplace." In 1989, Haug and his colleague, Mark Springer, set up the OperationsManagement Advisory Board to include industry representatives. Haug said they felt it wasnecessary to include manufacturing executives in curriculum development. "As the advisory board met andreviewed the curriculum, they felt that the traditional bachelor of arts in business with aconcentration in operations management, while well-designed in terms of what it provided students,was insufficient in terms of the engineering background and managerial leadership skills," Haug said. Rather than re-vamp the operations management concentration, he said the advisory board suggested designing a new bachelor of science degree in manufacturing management. Western is one of only 10schools in the nation to offer the new degree. Haug said the one-year-old program is tough and takesmore time to complete than traditional degrees. A key component to the program is the amount ofindustry-based work experience required. Haug said students are required to complete six months ofwork experience, which usually works out to be two three- See Degree, page 2 The worms crawl in, theworms crawl out They also enjoy our garbage Front/Craig Stephens Recycling center volunteer Chester Zeller has friends in low places. Financial aid options growing By Craig Stephens Front reporter"You're worm food, buddy." This could mean two things; someone is either about to become part of thedeath-toll in an action movie or part of the Associated Students recycling center's vermiculturecomposting project. Vermiculture composting uses the earthworm's digestive process to quickly convertfood waste into fertilizer. Chester Zeller, a recycling center volunteer, proposed the project to recyclingcenter coordinator Richard Neyer last fall and began the project relying on his own experience invermiculture composting. Zeller said the process, is simple. . Food waste is shredded and combinedwith newspaper and laid inside four-foot square bins. The earthworms are added and they begin toconsume the "bedding," creating their waste, called "castings," he said. Cornmeal is later used tobring the worms to the surface. Ironically, the waste becomes as toxic to the worms as it does tohumans, Zeller said. The compost is finally heat-sterilized to kill seeds and make it fit for use inagriculture. Zeller said it is considered by many to be the best fertilizer available. Zeller and Neyer saidthey plan to expand the project from its current pilot status, but must first determine the mostefficient food waste-to-output ratio. "Research needs to be done to find out the protocol for the leastamount of space to do the project," Zeller said. "We're not the only school to have limited space oncampus." Other universities, such as The Evergreen State College, have similar programs, but large-scale models are not yet available. Zeller said two pounds of worms convert one pound of food wasteinto compost in a 24-hour period. Experimentation will reveal the maximum amount of worms per square foot connected to the maximum yield per day. Zeller's goal is to have a usable product every 48 hours.Inspired by their work, the worms will multiply by 100 percent every three months, he said. Currently, the Fairhaven Dining Hall provides about 35 pounds of food waste a week. Zeller and Neyer estimate each campus din- See Worms, page 6 By Brett Davis Front reporter Western students now have moreoptions when it comes to paying back financial aid because of recent policies developed by the Clintonadministration. Kathleen Sahlhoff, director of Student Financial Resources, said as part of the NationalService Act instated this summer, students can pay back school loans by participating in communityservice. Under theplan, students work for oneyearatminimumwagebutreceive a bonus when the year isup. A stipend is a fixed sum of money paid periodically for service or to defray expenses. n "They can apply the stipend toward school expenses, to pay a loan or for loan forgiveness," Sahlhoff said. TheNational Service Act is part of President Clinton's Ameri- Corps plan, a domestic version of the PeaceCorps, made up of 20,000 volunteers. The new structure of these student loar programs is designed to save money while easing debt pressure on students by allowing them to choose low-payingcommunity work. The goal of the National Service Act is to get students involved in service andreduce student indebtedness, Sahlhoff said. Since the program is so new, See Money, page 6Parking passes offered to some Conimuter lot parking per-r mits arebeingoffered to someof the morethan 300 students on the waiting list, said Ann Wallace, parking services manager.

An officer smelled the odor while patrollingMathes. He contacted the resident and impounded the pipe and marijuana. Oct. 5, noon: A womanreported her wallet had been stolen from her office in the Viking Union. Oct. 6,3:19 a.m.: A man in theViking Union heard a loud crashing noise in the third and fourth floors but did not locate the cause of thenoise. He later found the fourth floor skylight broken in the hallway. The man stated he had seen threeyoung people outside prior to hearing the noise, but he could not describe them. Bel ling ham Police Oct 5,7:41 p.m.: Two men were arrested for attempting to flee a business, located in the 3600 block of ByronAve., without paying for their meals. The men were apprehended by employees when the get-away carwould not start. Oct 5,11:09 p.m.: Police were called to a domestic dispute in the 1200 block of N.Garden St. Neighbors had called 9-1-1 when a couple started arguing and the neighbors saw blood on one person's face. The officers contacted the couple, who said one of them had fallen down earlier and gotten a bloody nose, and the argument was over whether or not to go to the hospital for treatment. Oct 6,12:34 a.m.: A clerk at a convenience store in the 1100 block of Iowa St. reported a man wearing a stripedstocking cap and a camouflage army coat stole five mini-cartons of cigarettes. He fled in a red car. Thesuspect was not apprehended and the merchandise was not recovered. Oct 6,10:15 p.m.: A woman inthe 2400 block of E St. reported what she thought might be someone outside her bathroom window.Officers checked the area and found no evidence of attempted entry. Cops Box compiled by Front reporter Dana Goodwin. College officials ask industry for advice Degree continued from page 1 monthinternships. "We're looking at a student probably taking, realistically, four-and-a-half to five years tocomplete the program because, unlike abusiness degree program, that's about 180 credits, this is 191credits," Haug said. "Six months of industry experience adds some time as well." Erick Nelson, a senior who will graduate from the program in June, worked at Alliant Tech Systems in Everett this summer.While there, Nelson said he worked on a team responsible for' bringing Alliant Tech's operations up tocompliance with the government's Material Management Accounting Standards. Nelson waspreviously a production and operations management major, but he said switching to the newprogram was worth it. The requirement for six months of work experience will give him an edge once heenters the work force, he said. The internships are also useful for getting "hands-on" experience, he added. "You have the ability to translate the theory you learn in the classroom to real life situations,"he said. "You see how sometimes theory doesn't work." Haug said students who graduate with thisdegree will be well-prepared to enter the work force because industry managers had a hand in designingit. "The advisory board worked with (Springer) and me over the space of about two years ... and basedon what industry defined as what they wanted as the output, we determined what should be thenecessary input," Haug said. The proposal, completed in April of 1991, was passed through theAcademic Coordinating Commission inNovember of 1992 and was approved by the Higher EducationCoordinating Board in September, 1993.

Can anything replace mom's cookin'? Probablynot, but a tour of the Viking Union eateries shows how Food Services is trying. Hour after hour, day afterday, the Viking Union eateries supply all kinds of products that students and staff need to make itthrough another day. Not only are certain products, such as sandwiches and coffee, available at alllocations, but specialty items are available at each eatery. Many of the eateries underwent majorchanges over the summer. Most of those changes deal with hours of operation and introduction ofnew products. Perhaps the biggest transformation is the conversion of the Plaza Deli from a specialtysandwich shop to a submarine sandwich format where the same amount of money nets more grub. "We wanted to give customers better value," said Kim Bachman, Food Services retail manager. "A half-subcosts about the same as a whole sandwich did â€” and it has more food." Of course more food for thesame price comes with a minor hitch. "Expect a line," said Shandra Wilcox, who works at the deli. "Ittakes us longer to make a sub than it did the old sandwiches. There's more food on it." Bachman saidthe bread used in the deli is now baked fresh every morning on Western's campus. Before the changes,bread for the deli had to be ordered from stores and wasn't as fresh. There are nine different subs on the menu, as well as a variety of bread items and drinks. Most of the subs cost around $2.59 for a half-sandwich, and $3.84 for a whole. A "Daily Combo" is also available for $4.39, which includes any half-sub, chips and a soda. One floor down in the Coffee Shop is the new home of the health-conscious Stir-Fry Bar. The bar used to be on the fourth floor of Viking Addition, a somewhat cumbersome locale(theplaza level is actually the sixth floor and the numbers go downward from there). "It was expensive tooperate down there," Bachman said. "But we didn't want to lose it because it is an excellent vegetarianoption. People just couldn't find it, so we made room in the Coffee Shop." The bar offers a build-your-own plate, as well as the traditional sticky rice and tofu. In the tradition of fast-food restaurants everywhere,the Coffee Shop also sells burgersâ€”many are available in "Super Value Combos." They include achoice of burger, fries, and a soda. Most run about $3.69, depending on the type of burger in the combo. Some students find the number of choices agreeable. "The Coffee Shop is one of the best-tastingplaces on campus," said Meara Conway, a junior. "I think they have a good variety. You can smell thestir-fry as soon as you go down the stairs." Bigfoot's Bistro is another eatery in the area, featuring pooltables. Located on the third floor, the easiest way to get there is to take the elevator down. Afterreceiving input from customers, Bachman said it was decided to readjust the bistro's hours. It nowopens daily at 3 p.m., staying open until 11 p.m. ness major. "All of my classes are in Parks Hall and Idon't have time between classes. "The Arntzen cart is quick and convenient." Across campus in MillerHall, facing Red Square, sits Miller's Coffee House. Along with the Coffee Shop, it is one of the most-frequented eateries. "I get a bagel and a coffee here nearly every morning," said senior Bryce Hanson. "I like the Coffee House a lot, although I still think the prices are outrageous." Theonly changes tohitMiller's is the introduction of several new bakery products. Bachman said scones, new varieties ofmuffins, raspberry marzipan and a "delicious" creation called a hazelnut currant cookie are in theCoffee House's immediate future. There is also a new coffee mug featuring a unique design thatmealcard inside. Plus, it's a much more convenient size and better value than mugs in the past." The old mugs held 20 ounces of brew and could be refilled for the price of a 16-ounce coffee â€” giving thecustomer four ounces free. The new mugs are 16 ounces, and can be refilled for the price of a 10-ouncedrink â€” giving six ounces free. Bachman said Western is known for its serious coffee drinkers. "Wehad been working with Starbucks to come up with a blend that satisfies Western students," she said."We tried their House, Yukon, and Java blends but none were extremely well-liked. "Finally Starbuckssuggested Sumatra, a strong hearty blend. It sits in your mouth, which is what real coffee drinkers like.Of course Western loves it, and we've stopped experimenting." Lines often form outside Plaza Deliaround lunchtime. Popular demand has also brought espresso back to the bistro. "Nothing else oncampus is open this late offering espresso," Bachman said. Regarding espresso, last spring the cartlocated in front of Carver Gym was moved to its current location outside Arntzen Hall, providingstudents on the southern end of campus a place to get a lift. "I really like having it there," said SarahMichael, a senior busi- Starbucks created exclusively for Western. It has a colorful coffee mug with"WWU" written above it. But Bachman said that's not the most special feature.

Four Westernstudents participated in the community service program during the summer, she said. Direct loanprograms may be another option for students in the future, she said. The Federal Student Loan OverhaulProgram, passed last year by Congress, prepares the way for the government to introduce a newprogram this fall. Sahlhoff said Western is not among the first 104 colleges to use the plan but sees itcoming here in the future. Under this program, loan payments-are based on a percentage of the student's income rather than the amount of the total loan. The idea is to eliminate banks and other privatelenders from the loan process, thereby saving money by reducing fees and providing more efficientservice, Sahlhoff said. According to statistics published by U.S. News World Report, 95 percent of all student loans this year will go through banks. But the federal government hopes to become the primarylender in the program. Another change in federal lending lets students stretch out loan repayment for upto 30 years. The former limit was 10 years. Western participates in the Perkins, Stafford and PLUSfederal loan programs. The interest rates on these loans varies from 5 percent to 9 percent depending on the program, Sahlhoff said. Perkins loans are low-interest loans of up to $3,000 for needy students.Stafford loans are low-interest loans from the federal government that are not necessarily need-based.PLUS loans allow parents to borrow up to the full cost of their child's education less other forms offinancial aid received by the student.

E a r t h - worms make ahumming sound (inaudible to humans unless they're in large numbers), which birds use to locate them in the soil. Another hazard is the heat caused by the decomposition of the food itself. The heat createdby too much food in the bins can sometimes harm the worms. Fortunately, the same phenomenonhelps the worms in the winter, Zeller said. He said sealing the bins, controlling pests and heatsterilization of the castings prevent health codes from becoming an issue. Zeller's work takes onlyabout three hours a week because the "There has yet to be a national vermiculture week, butsomeday..." â€” Chester Zeller Recycling center volunteer worms do most of the work.

The not-for-profit group Fairhaven Neighbors Inc. requested theclosure, which the council approved 5-2 at its Aug. 9 meeting. FNI is working closely with the city onthe Old Fairhaven Parkway extension project. The truck route will allow traffic from 12th Street andDonovan Avenue to reach the marine/industrial area below Old Fairhaven's shopping area. DuringMonday night's council meeting, Sue Murray, a resident of Bayside Place, and John Erickson, ofChuckanut Drive, presented the council with two petitions protesting the closure and requestingDonovan be used as the truck route. Murray and Erickson's sentiments were echoed in thecomments of three others who spoke against the closure. Increased traffic in front of Fairhaven Middle School, caused by the closure, was one argument used to oppose the closure. â€¢ â€¢â€¢â€¢':â€¢â€¢â€¢ The signatures and testimony join those of others flowing into the council on analmost weekly basis. Murray estimates some 519 signatures have been submitted to the city so far.Eighty-six of those signatures belong to residents within the Fairhaven Neighbors Inc.'s boundaries.During her comments, Murray read an Aug. 17 memorandum from Jack Garner, the city's public worksdirector, to Mayor Tim Douglas. According to the memorandum, the council was given in its Aug. 9packet, inaccurate speed reports for Donovan Avenue. These reports were part of the informationconsidered by the council when it made its decision that evening. Council members merely blinked asMurray read the memorandum, which concludes, "It is unfortunate that the erroneous report wasincluded in the Council packet, and we are unsure how it found its way there. The information that weknow is not accurate and should never have "It is unfortunate that the erroneous report was included inthe Council packet." â€”Sue Murray Fairhaven resident been placed into our files in the first place."Murray, at a previous council session, told the council the decision to close Donovan had not been anopen process because the council based much of its decision on the recommendations of a smallgroup of citizens â€” Fairhaven Neighbors Inc. Last May, the council designated the group to be solely responsible for discussion and design of the Old Fairhaven Parkway extension. The Fairhaven"neighborhood" was defined to be Wilson, Cowgill and Donovan Streets between 4th and 10th streets.

Inan earlier covenant with the city in 1988, FNI agreed not to contest the building of the Alaska ferryterminal so long as the city agreed to minimize the through traffic in that residential neighborhood anddiscourage through traffic at the 10th Street and Donovan Avenue intersection, among other things. Theagreement also gave FNI a say in the Old Fairhaven Parkway's extension. After the public commentperiod, councilman Bob Hall said, "I'll just have to say it again. I just wish you people had turned outearlier. "But the council, as I see it, has agreed to either 9th or 10th. It's just too bad." The council willdecide which street, 9th or 10th, will be used to complete the extension during next week's session.Completion pressures may be the root of the council's seeming inaction when confronted with petitions,testimony and memo- ' randum.

Citizens residing to the north and east of Bellingham want toseparate from Whatcom and become their own counties. If approved Pioneer County will encompassthe small town of Custer and its vicinity. Independence County will extend from Kelly Road to thecurrent border of Whatcom and Okanogon counties and south to New Halem. Sandy Andreasen, aspokesperson for Pioneer County, said if they meet all requirements, the state has to let themseparate. "According to the Constitution, we have a right to form a new county," she said. Theresidents of the area want to separate because they claim that they are not represented as well as theBellingham residents. They also claim that Whatcom County is just too big. "I understand theirfrustrations," said Yvonne Goldsmith, Ferndale City Council member. "They want more bang for theirbuck." Most of the Whatcom County buildings, including the jail and courthouse, are located inBellingham, and most of the registered voters in the county reside in Bellingham. Residents of thetwo perspective counties said that gives Bellingham an unfair advantage in voting. Andreasen saidthat the "majority of the votes come from Bellingham," and decisions made by the county councilhave, in the past, favored the city more than the rest of the county. In order for the area to officiallyseparate, it must meet some basic requirements. A substantial tax base must be established, theoriginal county must be left withwith an adequate You are invited!

The one requirement they still have to complete is the signatures. PioneerCounty's tax base includes Intalco, Arco, BP Oil and the Semiahmoo complex. Research hasindicated the rest of the county would still have enough income to support itself, Andreason said. Aboutone-third of the required signatures have been gathered, but the Pioneer County committee had beenunable to meet the required amount. "They (county residents) can't get more than 28 percent out tovote. How do they think they are going to get enough people to sign a petition?" Goldsmith said. "Somepeople don't understand, we need more control, " Andreasen said. Goldsmith said that if thepetitioners for Pioneer County did a big "blitz," they could possibly get enough people to sign. But itwould have to be mostly person-to-person contact, either by phone or door-to-door, soliciting. "I live inthe county and I don't care for the city of Bellingham," Goldsmith stated. "I'd like to see it (PioneerCounty) go through." If Pioneer County does become a reality, it would include everything north ofSlater Road and west of the Guide Meridian. The Lummi Reservation and Point Roberts would remainparts of Whatcom County. Since the proposed area does not have more than 50,000 residents, itwould not be subject to the Growth Management Act.

Goldsmith said if they meet the requirements, they can have their county. Andreason said the idea to break away from Whatcom County wassparked by a similar plan known as Independence County. However, Andreason said she can't seeIndependence County becoming a reality because the area does not have a strong enough tax base.Sharon Pietila, one of the founders of the Independence County movement, said they conducted afinancial study and determined they have plenty of money to support a new county.

A group of dancers, artists and musicians from the Bellingham area went to Japanfor 10 days in September to participate in Bellingham's first cultural exchange with its sister city,Tateyama. The group of 18 included quilt makers, a wood turner (a person who works wood with a lathe), a basket weaver, a wood carver, two professional musicians and a dance caller. A group from Tateyama traveled here for the first time last year and demonstrated such cultural traditions as the tea ceremony,paper doll making and the art of bamboo carving. During the exchange, the Bellingham group stayed with different families in the community. At the community center they performed blue-grass music andengaged in Contra dancing. "Contra is the oldest (non-Native) American dance, so it seemed the mostappropriate," said George Thomas, exchange coordinator. Contra is also "by the community and forthe community, not a stage performance," he added. "It's supposed to be a social mixer." Contra is adance where the men form a line on one side, women on the other and each couple takes turns dancingdown the center of the lines. Participants continually switch partners throughout the duration of thedance. During performances, the dancers taught the audience how to participate in the dance. Some ofthe artists also took part in the dancing. Traditional Native American wood carving and basketry, as wellas wood turning were also featured at the center, Thomas said. Thomas said these were chosenbecause the sister city committee in Tateyama specifically asked for traditional demonstrations.The group also presented gifts to the city. Kate Stenberg made a quilt with designs symbolizing thesister cities and the dancers. Vernon Leibrant carved a wooden bowl, and Lummi basket weaver AnnaJefferson prepared smoked salmon and eggs. Dale James, a Lummi master carver, presented an eight-foot totem pole. Thomas said the totem pole design consisted of a raven on top and the sun on thebottom. The raven is a character in Lummi folklore that James often uses in his craft. In addition toperforming in Tateyama, the group participated in an annual two-day traditional crafts festival in Chiba,'anearby city. The festival's participants are from all over Japan and display their region's traditionalcrafts. The Bellingham group was the only non-Japanese group represented, Thomas said. The groupperformed in two settings, one with an audience of 100 and one with and audience of 10,000. Thesmaller setting was informal and the audience members were persuaded to join in on the dance. Thelarger setting was more formal, with a brief demonstration of the Contra dance and atwo-minute interviewafterward, at which time the group answered questions about both Bellingham and the dance. The groupalso had a booth where their crafts were displayed. "I was really happy to be able to share the Lummiculture as well as Western culture with the Japanese people," Jefferson said.

Western's 1994 Performing Arts Series, featuring nine musical and danceperformances, provides an example of this experience, he said. The theme of this season's series is"The Excellence Continues!" As with past programs, the series offers a combination of dance andmusical performances, as well as a performance by Mummenschanz, a mime troupe which receivedgreat reviews during a previous visit to Western. "(The performances) explore deeper into what you'rereally feeling," Sylvester said. "They bring out emotions and ideas in students they didn't know theyhad." The season's Performing Arts Series includes the Orion String Quartet, The Falla Guitar Trio,Ballet British Columbia, Anonymous 4 (a medieval music quartet), Mummenschanz, I Musici deMontreal (a string orchestra), Joseph Holmes Dance Theatre, Atlantic Brass Quintet andChristopher O'Riley (pianist). "The surprise might be Anonymous 4," said Fran Sekern, assistantdirector of Cultural Affairs. "They're a four woman quartet who sing medieval music and chants. Theyjust got their third CD on the (classical music) Top Ten." Sylvester contributes Anonymous 4'ssuccess to the changing opinions of classical music. "Students are beginning to branch out into findingalternative music," he said. For students who have little or no exposure to classical music, theseperformances may prove rewarding, he added. "All these composers were new at one time. To someonewho hasn't got into this type of program, it will be new music to them," Sylvester said. "I don't like the term 'classical music' It denotes a pigeon hole in music. We're talking about hundreds of years ofmusic," he added. Sylvester compared the term to calling all music from the 1950s- 90s "rock." Likemodern music, classical music has many different sounds. It's the flavor of classical music that haskept it so popular. Many of the performers in the series are recreating the passion that classical musicemits, Sylvester said. "The thing that's magical, is here's a piece of music in the form of a score (sheetmusic)," Sylvester said. "The musicians are recreating ideas written down hundreds of years ago.They're doing it in a fresh way with their own abilities and 20th-century intellect." The Orion StringQuartet is the first event in the series, performing at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, in the PAC Concert Hall.Sylvester personally knows two of the performers and raves about their musical genius. "Isaac Stern, (aworld-renowned violinist), pointed them out as the next generation of excellence as quartet," hesaid. The Orion String Quartet has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York and at the Kennedy Centerin Washington D.C. It is the quartet-in-residence for the Chamber of Music Society of Lincoln Center. Inaddition to performing, the members will also teach amaster' s class for Western music students.Reserved tickets for the performance are on sale at the Plaza Cashier. Prices vary according toperformance and cost $9-$ 10 for students, $16-$20 for seniors and $18-$22 for general admission.Series tickets are also available.

Music review New album by old band breaks barriers ByPaul Peterman Front reporter The last three times R.E.M. went into the studio, the boys from Athens,GA. planned to come out with a hard rock album. The first two attempts, Out of Time and 1992'sAutomatic ForThe People, didn't work out that way. Both sold millions but neither captured the soundR.E.M. wanted. Monster is an entirely different animal. The acoustic guitars were left in the closet asR.E.M. uses a bare-bones approach that rings bells for those familiar with the band's 14-year roots. The album's opener and first single, "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?" is one of only a few upbeat songsoh Monster. The emphasis on "Kenneth," and the majority of the other songs, is on the music ratherthan the lyrics. Vocalist Michael Stipe's words are indiscernible at times. That, combined with plenty ofreverb, makes it impossible to consider Monster a pop album. The listener must go three songs deep to discover the album's brilliance. "King Of Comedy" features guitaristPeterBuck' s best work of thisdecade. Stipe growls in the background as the guitar and bass dominate the sound. Dark is the bestword to describe it. Buck's tactical overview of Monster was simple. "I played guitar really loud," Bucksaid. "It was a little like Spinal Tap â€” you know, crank it up to eleven." Few songs on Monster wouldhave blended on either of R.E.M.' s last two albums. "Star 69" and "Strange Currencies" are the twoobvious exceptions. The former shoots rapid-fire vocals reminiscent of R.E.M. hits "Its The End Of The World As We Know It" and "Ignoreland." "Strange Currencies" lets listeners apprehend the lyrics andis similar in form to the pop ballad "Everybody Hurts." R.E.M. used unconventional means to ensure thealbum took on a life of its own. "We used a lot of different mikes and weird effects," Stipe said. "Thevocals on 'I Took Your Name' were recorded through a Walkman. Some of the backing tracks were sunginto a telephone." Most of today's bands try to produce a new sound, though very few can do it for anentire album. R.E.M. does. "Tongue" startles the listener with Stipe's high-pitched vocals. A bongoaccompanied by an organ lay the foundation for Stipe's take on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Thestrangest thing is that it actually works. The album's last five songs have a melodic, driving guitar thatSoundgarden's Kim Thayil would be proud of. On the dark rocker "Bang And Blame," Stipe carols, "Ifyou, could see yourself now baby/The tables havebeen turned/ The whole world hinges on yourscreams/Your secret life of indiscrete discretion." "Circus Envy" is the hardest R.E.M. song ever.Stipe's warbling takes another back seat to Buck's grinding guitar â€” more evidence of R.E.M.'smysterious departure from past efforts. "We set out to make a rock 'n' roll record without heavy metal or grunge," Buck said. "When it comes to this kind of hard rock, the only influence we've really got isourselves." A key factor in the making of Monster is the band's decision, after a five-year hiatus, to begin touring again. "This album is a great way to get back into playing live," Stipe said. "I can't think ofanything more boring than playing all that music from the last three years, although I'm sure we'll dosome of it." Those plans include a world tour. A Northwest concert date is rumored for sometime inMay. Sex, se By Kris Alexander Front reporter "The play is about sex, ba cally. The whole play revolvaround sex. I mean, it does, really does.

Western student Tabitha Wall is stage manager. Unlike mostproductions of "The Taming of the Shrew," Morris chose to include the introduction, a prelude to thestory, in which a poor man is tricked into believing he's a wealthy lord. The man dreams, and his dreambecome the focus of the play. "John Barton, who wrote 'Playing with Shakespeare,' has a quote. Hesays 'Embrace the inconsistencies' in Shakespeare," Morris said. "I came to my actors and told them to embrace the inconsistencies. ... And I realized I wasn't living up to what I was talking about. Iwasn't embracing the inconsistencies, the inconsistency being the introduction." The actors said theylike the change. "By setting it in a dream, we've taken it out of the context of being 'Oh, we're soShakespearean,'" Nealy said, in an exaggerated voice. "But, instead, it's more of a mish-mosh. Wefreely admit that we're anachronistic ... And that's perfectly fine with us." By using the entire text, thecast has been able to explore multiple themes, they said. "We're taking something that gt; gt;-hasbeen traditionally considered to have one theme to it, and that is sexism," said Theroux. "We're notworking against Shakespeare's idea ... but we're putting it in a new light and showing it as being sortof the patriar- "It's sex in more terms than the physical â€” " â€” Damond Morris director dial fantasythat it is." "We try to get the meaning across and not just treat the language as something sacred,"Cowan added. "Because language is a living thing, after all, whether the words are two hundred years old or however long it's been." Even people who have never been exposed to Shakespeare should be able to follow the play, Cowan said. '"It's not like so many of Shakespeare's play s that if you' re not familiarwith the play or familiar with the dialogue, you lose so much," Mink explained. '"Cause so much of this show is comedy that's show and tell." A small stage area, homemade costumes (borrowed fromSociety of Creative Anachronisms members), original music played by a string^trio anda set adaptedfrom a watercolor painting have also influenced the production. Morris asked local artist and Allied Artsmember Richard Bulman to recreate his watercolor painting, "Rooftops," as the set. With the help of setconstructor Ted Stritof, Bulman has converted the Allied Arts Gallery into a two-story set. Pastelpink, royal blue, brown and black are splashed across off-white walls. The set/painting was inspired byBulman's travels in Europe. "I walked out of my balcony in a little town in Portugal and that is what Isaw," he said. Other examples of Bulman's art work, including a life like painting titled "The Satin Dress" will be displayed during the show. The actors said they found the show's freedom refreshing. "Up untilnow, all my experiences have been with either an almost corporate like community theatre setting orthrough the university where... there's a formula to it almost," Nealy said. "('The Taming of the Shrew')feels like something we've put together. Everything from auditioning, to building sets, to costumes.Everything's just really homemade," Nealy said. "It's right from our gut," Dyer said, summing up thefeelings of the whole cast; gt; :^^:~-^^^. - Front/Ryan Burden Donald White (left) andAlissa Gidlof (right)star in the Shakespeare comedy 'The Taming of the Shrew."

On one side is a movie that is fueled by good acting by two excellent performers. Theother is a typical prison picture that borrows from other films. The story is adapted from a StephenKing short story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption." Morgan Freeman plays Red, an oldcon doing a life sentence in Maine's Shawshank State Prison. He is the guy on the inside who can getanything from the outside for a price. Every prison movie has one of these guys. Tim Robbins playsAndy, a soft spoken banker who is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. During his first nightin Shawshank, Andy shows the mettle of a hardened inmate. This catches the eye of Red and makeshim wonder if Andy will make it through theroughprison life. The rest of the movie chronicles Andy'sprison life for the next 21 years in Shawshank. During this time, he endures beatings, weeks insolitary confinement and repeated homosexual rapes by a group of inmates known as "the sisters."Eventually, Andy uses his banker skills to make himself a slave to the warden and the prison guards.Through this he gains some respect from the prison administration by preparing their tax returns andlaundering their money. The strong part of the movie focuses on the growing friendship between Andyand Red. "Shawshank " works best when it is focusing on the trials of the human spirit and how Andyand his quiet persona wins the hearts of Red and the other inmates. The movie borrows much fromother prison films. First-time director Frank Darabont wants to make his own prison film, but can't helpborrowing from other classic prison films such as "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Longest Yard." It would be nice to see aprison drama come along that doesn't rely so much on the predictable prison genre. Theelements are too familiar. The Bible-toting warden, an inmate with a fondness for birds, and anaudience-pleasing escape from the prison are recycled ideas. As "Shawshank" shows the triumph ofthe human spirit, it also shows the degradation. With the guards shooting and beating inmates and thewarden showing no humanity in 21 years, it becomes quite heavy-handed. The acting of Robbins andFreeman are what propel "Shawshank" along â€” and at a running time of two and a half hours that might not be enough. The performances on the screen will keep you watching "Shawshank," but you may shift in your seat a little too much.

Publishing and distributing music over theinternet might seem to ruffle the feathers of the big record giants by circumventing artists to find anaudience. In an interview with Kenneth Newby in Mondo 2000 magazine, Lord and Patterson said theyforesee internet labels as a possible upcoming industry.

We don' t want to charge the bands because they're the oneswho don't really have the money to do it. And we don't want to charge people for their role in the music'savailability.

Thus was born the slogan for the counter-culture movement of the 1960s. Known as the "spiritual father of alternative culture," Doctor TimothyLeary is the man behind the slogan and has been in the face of controversy ever since, controversyhe'll bring to his speaking engagement at 7 p.m., Oct. 13 at the Performing Arts Center. Leary' s topicwill be "How to Operate Your Brain: A Multimedia Presentation." Leary first made the presentation at Lollapaloozain 1993. After receiving a doctorate in psychology from the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley, Leary soon became one of the most respected leaders of the hu-manistpsychol-ogy movement of the 1950s. Appointed to the faculty of Harvard University in 1959, Leary became the director of the Harvard Psychedelic Research Project. His work included the study ofpsychedelic drugs, namely LSD, which were legal until 1966. Due to controversy and bad publicitygenerated by the study, Leary was fired by Harvard in 1963. Being the first person fired from Harvardcaused his mother to disown him, but Leary moved on and established a research center in Millbrook,N.Y., where he continued work on his LSD experiments. In Millbrook, he encouraged free thinkers and became a symbol to protest leaders around the world. He later ran against Ronald Reagan forgovernor of California. A leading critic of the establishment, Leary was even called "the mostdangerous man alive" by President Nixon. In 1970, Leary was imprisoned for possession of marijuana but after five months escaped and fled to Algiers. In January 1973, he was recaptured by the CIA andserved two years in prison before being paroled. Leary also pioneered the "futurist" movementof the 1980s, working with virtual- reality technology and computer software. He is presidentof his own c o m p u t e r c o m p a n y , Futique, Inc., which designs i n t e r a c t i ve software forpersonal computers. Tom Beal, of the Arizona Daily Star, wrote, "He jokes about everything. Heengages in what he calls stand-up philosophy. He performs philosophy on stage at collegecampuses...Purposefully, and with obvious glee, Leary set about to shock the crowd by making fun ofevery sacred cow within mooing distance...He was profane; he was funny. A few people left angrily,proving, I guess, that he still has the power to provoke."

It's a movie that follows the adventures of two Americancousins in Spain at the end of the cold war. The plot is a bit confusing, so here's an overview: TedBoynton is an American living in Barcelona while working for the Chicago based Illinois High-SpeedMotor Company (IHSMOCO), though it is never mentioned what the company does. Ted is some kind ofsalesman, but the movie doesn't explain what he sells. Fred, Ted's cousin, is in the U.S. Navy anddecides to spend some unannounced time with his not-so-thrilled cousin. The two are well aquaintedbut haven't been on the best of terms since a kayak mishap when they were 10 years old. In Fred'sendless pursuit of a party, the cousins meet up with two women. Eventually Ted starts dating one ofthem, named Montserrat, more seriously. As their relationship grows, Ted discovers she still has aboyfriend she lives with. His name is Ramon, a journalist who sees all Americans as suspiciousagents of the CIA or FBI. Ramon's views are in turn read and believed throughout Spain. Fred findshimself involved with Marta, one of Montserrat's friends. Martais beautiful butturns out to be a thievingdrug-hound. Ted's romance flops when Montserrat leaves him to return to Ramon. About the same time,Fred discovers Malta's devilish side and reclaims his stolen property. Confused? There's more. As he isleaving the scene in a cab, Fred catches a bullet in the head. Much of the rest of the story deals withhis recovery and Ted dealing with the possibility of his cousin's death. Typically Hollywood, the movieends happily. Ted and Fred become close friends again, both marry women they met in Barcelona andmove back to the United States. Overall, the movie is a B-grade foreign movie, though made ' byAmerican directors and producers. The plot is entirely too scattered. I found myself wondering where the plot was going, then laughing, then wondering where the plot was going again. It is, however,entertaining. Not in a block-buster sort of way, but in a quirky nothing-better-to-do-on- Friday-night sort of way. The film's end leaves one with a puzzled sense: puzzled as to what the movie is supposed tomean, puzzled as to why the movie was made, puzzled as to why you saw it and most of all, puzzled as to why you enjoyed it. As such, I can't say exactly what is appealing about "Barcelona," but I can sayit's a movie that I would add a third thumb up to the two Siskel Ebert gave it. WE'LL GIVE YOU 10WEEKS.

Western coach Dean Snider was pleased with the way his team played."We played with a lot of heart, but we made some judgement errors. Those poor choices arediminishing," Snider said. The Vikings showed flashes of brilliance throughout the match, especially inthe second game.

We need a little more heart," said Jones,-who also looked strong on defensewith 15 digs. Game two was strong evidence that Western has the talent and athleticism to promise a future laden with wins over national powers like UPS, currently ranked ninth in the NAIA. The offensiverhythm between setter Adrienne Sloboden and outside hitter Chrissy Sursely was excellent, resulting inthunderous kills that the Loggers were not in position to handle. "We are a transition team. We have afast offense that takes advantage of other teams," Snider said. "We played really solid," saidSloboden, who finished with 38 assists. "I was a little frustrated with setting. It's hard to find holesagainst such a big team." Ultimately, consistent passing and setting precision, a hallmark of a veteransquad, was the spark that ignited the explosive UPS hitting game. Loggers' setter Janice Lwin andnational tournament MVP Andrea Egans, a 6-0 outside hitter, combine to form one of the most lethaloffensive tandems in the NAIA. This season Western has proven they have the potential to competewith teams in the upper echelon of NAIA volleyball. Despite four sophomores and five freshmen, Snider is undaunted by the youth of his squad. "We are a talented team that can beat them. Next time we'll bemore ready," Snider said.

Under the direction of coach Ron Johnson and backed by the goaltendingefforts of Burny Carlson, the Flyers finished well above 500 last season and plan on topping that thisyear. Carlson is joined in goal by Brett Haywood, a young goal tender from Brown University. This shouldease some of the pressure off Carlson in the latter periods of games. "Carlson consistently comesthrough for us, and with the addition of Haywood, we should be solid in the net," said public relationsassistant Don Steinke. Defensively, the Flyers should shine. The pairing of Wes Gentles and teamcaptain Wayne Stripp has been reliably effective at holding the blue line. Veterans Mark Benjamin,alternate captain, and Jason Reisinger return to provide solid protection for Carlson. Newcomers LindsayMohr, Jeff Sampson and Tye Cameron round out the defensive line-up. "Cameron played for thePortland Winterhawks (Western Hockey League) and seems to enjoy playing old fashioned rock-and-rollhockey. We can always use another solid defenseman," Steinke said. The Flyers should rack up thepoints with their gritty offense. Chris Morrison, one of last year's leading scorers and one to watch, isreturning to the line up along with Ryan Edwards and Stu Sage to light up the scoreboard. The Flyers,however, have made some exciting changes. After a trade that involved sending Darren Naylor and AlKinisky to the Seattle Indians, the Flyers picked up Colin Fair, Conrad Ashton and Dan Gagne to addsome more power up front. Also signed was Russ Morrison, younger brother of forward Chris.Bellingham lost goaltender Lance Carlson to the Central Hockey League, center Lindsay Dyck to Fresno,Calif., winger Dan Giesbreck to New Zealand and defenseman Kirk Fisher to retirement. Sept. 30marked the official beginning of the hockey season. Opening night featured a bagpipe ceremony andpresentation by the Bellingham Sea Scouts. The Flyers lost to the Port Cpquitlam Blues by a score of 8-7. Chris Morrison led the teamJby scoring two goals and two assists. Stripp, Gentles and the Morrisonbrothers let the Blues have a taste of the physical game and collectively racked up 43 penalty minutes.Bellingham, however, suffered the loss of Benjamin due to a slashing injury late in the second period. Heshould be back for the upcoming game. The Flyers next home game is at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday at theWhatcom County Sports Arena. They will take on the New Westminster Beavers.

This isn't just baseball. The NHL, NBAand the NFL all co-exist in this parallel universe. The plate-glass windows separating the real worldfrom this bizarro world are starting to get foggy. Squabbles over who gets this million or that million serve as a slap of reality to sports fans. The lords of sports might look normal, but they aren't human. Laborproblems dangle over all four major sports. The owners explain that it's obviously the players' fault. Theyshould be happy to get millions for playing games. The players rebut that owners have suppressed themlong enough. There is more money pouring in than the owners will admit. We just want our fair share!Nothing has changed in professional sports since its inception. The players sure haven't. "The '90s player is about getting paid first. Not about working for that pay," Magic Johnson said in a 1994 interviewwith ESPN. "The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money - not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it," Ty Cobb said in 1925. Professionalathletes never played just for the love of the sport. _ Hence the term, "professional." Even collegeathletes play for incentives: scholarships, exposure for the pro draft, fame and sometimes even fortune. So the players haven't changed. That leaves the owners. The days when owners fo/tfthe players howmuch they'd be paid instead of negotiating are long gone. The owners of professional sports teams havealways tried to get away with something. Baseball's anti-trust exemption from Congress is a goodexample. That could soon be swept out from under their feet. Right now there are more professionalleagues shut down than operating. The NFL is in tact because its players and their union didn't have theforesight to see what a salary cap would do. "The '90s player is about getting paid first. Not aboutworking for that pay." Now many high-priced NFL veterans are out of work, and even more back-upplayers were forced to take pay cuts. NFL owners have the best excuse in the world. "The salary capmade me do it," ignoring the fact that the same amount of money is coming into the league. MajorLeague Baseball, the NHL and the NBA are all having labor problems simultaneously because thecollective bargaining agreements in the three sports expired at about the same time. The problem inthe NHL is part resentment and part stupidity. The resentment comes from the players and is aimed atthe owners and new commissioner Gary Bettman, a businessman brought in by the owners to help themstreamline their business. The stupidity is on the part of the owners for forcing apostponementof theseason until Oct. 15 and threatening a lockout when the NHL is at its highest popularity ever. Thepostponement is essentially a lockout. Players agreed to play the season under the current laboragreement and work out the problems later. However, the owners don't want to start another seasonunder an agreement they desperately want to change. The NBA and the NBA player's union are not even on the same court. The union wants the draft eliminated. Players would then enter the league as freeagents. Owners say that would destroy the league. They're right. The NBA owners want to furtherrestrict free-agency, enforce a stricter salary cap and install a rookie salary cap. The union shouldautomatically lose on all accounts for even mentioning that ridiculous draft elimination proposal. " Nonew negotiations are being held because the union is waiting for aU.S. Court of Appeals ruling regardingthe legality of the salary cap, college draft and right of first refusal involving free agents. Look for an NBApostponement, if not a lockout, before the regular season opens Nov. 4. But don't get too cozy if itdoesn't happen. The owners are also considering a player lockout around Thanksgiving. Sports fans are the sole reason professional sports exist. But in the end, it's always the fans who feel the worst aboutthe strikes and lockouts of their beloved sports. Seemingly powerless, the fans just have to sit there andtake it. The owners and players both know that no matter what happens, the fans will always come back. â€” Magic Johnson 4;AWU Â«iÂ«*wHlt;twi- Att Mfcm**sÂ»*w(Â«, KENYON'S ICE CREAMPARLOUR Home Made Ice Cream Daily 2:00-10:00 W.

The Bellingham organization, formerlyaffiliated with the Seattle Mariners, have been experiencing some major, exciting changes.Question: Why did the Seattle Mariners withdraw their affiliation from Bellingham? Answer: Theywanted to consolidate their operations and get them as close to Seattle as possible. They ended theirplayer development contract with the Calgary team, which was their AAA team. At the same time,Tacoma ended their affiliation with the Oakland Athletics, which allowed Seattle to move their AAA teamfrom Calgary to Tacoma. At the same time they did this, Everett team served notice to the SanFrancisco Giants that they wanted to discontinue their affiliation, which opened up the opening, so the Mariners could pull out of Bellingham and move to Everett. Question: Is this radical of an interleaguechange common to baseball? Answer: It is not that uncommon. I suspect that our 18-year affiliationwith the Mariners is one of the top ten. There are so many reasons for changes, probably as many asthere are people. I think the main reasons are minor league owners being disgruntled or the option tomove to better facilities. Question: What was behind the rumored move to Pasco? Answer: Pasco andthe Tri- Cities are building a new 4,000- seat stadium. The stadium hasn't been started yet, but thefunding has already been approved for it. They were interested in bringing a professional baseball team,obviously, in there to play in their stadium. We were considering a possible move to there, as a result of the fact that our facility here was not meeting professional baseball guidelines. Early indications,as of about a month ago, the city of Bellingham was not prepared to make those changes. At that timewe started seeking alternatives and that is when the Pasco situation became a possibility. Question:How are the Bellingham facilities lacking? Answer: Major league baseball has specific guidelines thateach stadium must adhere to. Primarily it (the problem) is with clubhouse related items. There is notraining room in our clubhouse. There are no laundry facilities in our clubhouse. The restroom facilitiesare limited at best. The shower facilities are limited. In the visiting clubhouse, there are no lockers, no place for them to put their gear, they just have a big room. There is no manager's office for the visitors.There is also no training room for visitors. Question: What would be the cost of getting the clubhouse upto par? Answer: The cost that has been approved at this point is $90,000. The city recently made thisallocation. Question: What was the substance behind the rumors of host family conflict? Answer: At the end of the season there seemed to be a great amount of dissension between the host families and ourfront office. It is unfortunate, and hopefully whatever those items are, we can learn from them. Itcentered around them feeling not appreciated. We were not running the host program. We started it,and then the second year we had some people volunteer to run the program. We became liaisons,and not the prime movers of the program. I think that ended up bringing on the demise of the program.Because the people who were involved in it, I surmise, felt that they were not appreciated, there was notmuch interaction. That was not by design, it was just how the program evolved. Apparently they hadsome expectations that we were not meeting. We still plan on having a host family program next year.We may or may not have it with all the same people. What we do plan on doing next year is internalizing the program, so we would have significant contact with the host family. Question: What kind of dealdoes Bellingham have set up with the San Francisco Giants? Answer: We're in the same league. We'restill single A. Everything is similar to what we had with the Mariners. Wehavesigned a four-year playerdevelopment contract with the Giants. This means we are guaranteed that they will be here for aminimum of four years before.there could be any possible changes. Question: How did you get involvedin the Bellingham organization? Answer: I bought the team in 1989 from the local owners. I have hadsix seasons with the Mariners and now I'm starting with the Giants. Question: Has it been asuccessful venture for you? Answer: I wanted to see if I could create something that was a verypositive thing, that the community would respond to. To that extent it has been really successful. Thecommunity has really responded well. There are a lot of fans. Question: What are you going to dowith all of theBellingham Mariner memorabilia? Answer: We are probably going to have a sale. We mayhold larger items for auction. There are some things that one would not ordinarily be able to buy.Question: What is to be watched for in the upcoming season? Answer: We are going to become abetter baseball franchise. We are going to be doing a lot of public relations and marketing. We are prettyopen; there are a lot . of opportunities. The Giants are a pretty classy organization. Is he out for seasonOr's Londo gonna play? By Stephanie Thomson Front reporter The loud "pop" occurred on a playOrlondo Steinauer had made a thousand times before. "The first thing that came to my mind was 'Wework so hard in the off-season, in the weight room and on the track,'" Steinauer said. The juniorcornerback was returning an interception during Western's 42-14 rout of Willamette on Sept. 24, a day inwhich.he also set the Western all-time career punt return yardage mark (503). "It just flashes throughyour mind that all of this hard work could possibly be taken away from you that quick. Everyone'salways saying 'Play every play like it's your last,' but it doesn't really hit home until it happens to you." After that "pop," which was initially diagnosed as a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee,.Steinauer's season was thought to be .over. But after he underwent a magnetic reasonance imagingtest, doctors decided that the ligament was not torn, and have given Steinauer the option to try and playwith a knee brace. "(The doctors) weren't convinced that it was a torn ACL just by the outside tests,"Steinauer said. "And so that gave me a little hope there. (During the MRI) I was praying that maybe I'dget a shot to play this season, and it looks right now that I will." "The prognosis is looking good,"defensive coordinator Robin Ross said. "And Orlondo, besides being a very good football player, isalso one of the captains. Any time. you lose a captain you're talking about (losing) leadership." However, if Steinauer is not able to return, there is a good possibility he will be granted hardship from the NAIA,which means that he wouldn't lose a year of eligibility. Steinauer said he wouldn't risk further injury bytrying to come back too soon. "If it was that bad^ then they wouldn't give me the option to use the brace," Steinauer said. "(But) that option is available to me, and I'm going to try it out. If I don't play in agame, hardship is still there. If it doesn't feel good in practice, then I'm not going to push it in a game. Soit's not really at risk." Steinauer added his ties to the team are a big motivational factor in hisdetermination to return. "We go through so much as a team in the off-season," Steinauer said. "Andit's just tough not to be apart of it. And anyone with competitiveness in them wants to be out and be anactive part of the team. "I want to do anything I can to help this team win," Steinauer said, "make thedefense the best in the conference, and as we all know if we can be the best defense in thisconference, then it is one of the best in the nation." In other injury-related news, the Vikings lost theirstarting tight end Christian Evans for the season. He suffered a torn medial colateral ligament in practiceon Wednesday. Evans was tied for the team lead in receptions (ten catches for 103 yards). His injurywas the second blow to the offense this week following the loss of Jon Brunagh.

The recentruling on allowable evidence in Paul Hill's case showed this. Paul Hill is accused of fatally shooting Dr.John Britton of the Ladies' Clinic in Pensacola, Fla., a clinic that provides abortion services. Dr. Britton's companion, James Barrett, was also killed. The court has ruled Hill's lawyers may enter evidenceproving whatever actions Hill took against the doctor were "necessary and justified." Allowing justification for murder other than self-defense could induce detrimental changes in the law. It suggests that everyperson has the legal right to interfere in the lives of complete ^^^H iMIBlIl iSBdR^N^iBlii H^MBI^^^sM^OJ ^ ^ ^ ^ j ^ i M i P I l ^^ strangers, if they feel it's for the stranger's supposed "benefit." This happens toomuch already, without legal precedent. The court's ruling gives Hill' s defense a green light to intrude onthe clinic by photographing and even checking the clinic's equipment. Butmostimportantly, it suggeststhe possibility that Hill can prove himself justified for committing two murders. The judgment could alsoallow Hill to justify his actions by entering into evidence the Bible story of Phineas and Zimiri, on whichhe based his own book, "Should We Defend Born and Unborn Children with Force?" In the story, Zimiriand her lover are murdered by Phineas when he drives a stake through their tent. According to TheProgressive, this story lies behind many fanatic racist and anti- Semitic Christian identity movements as their justification for "killing sinners." Dangerous precedents could be established with this case. If Paul Hill uses this story, what's to stop white supremacists from using it in their own murder trials â€” and itfrom working? This ruling changes a long-standing policy to disregard this "necessity defense." DavidCrane, of Operation Rescue in Virginia said about Hill's case: "Who committed the greater crime? Thecitizens who stand by and allow the children to be murdered or this one man who stopped a serial killerfrom killing more children?" The judge also asked this question through his ruling. A frighteningstatement by Tom Metzger of the White Aryan Resistance also runs along these lines. Metzger saidabout Hill, "If the guy who did the shooting in some way protected Aryan women and children, then WAR condones the killing." Paul Hill's lawyers basically made this same statement. Keep in mind they wantto prove, "whatever action he may have taken against a doctor who UCKLOAD SALE October 7-10Food Fun Visit our Oktoberfest Beer Qarden, Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, and morel Contests with over 100prizes* Musical Entertainment* Fun for the whole family I Monster Trucks!

Most advertising decisionsare made completely separate and without input from the editorial side of the newspaper. We have amutual understanding not to interfere with each other's work. The Western Front has several advertisingstandards and guidelines. Forinstance, wedo not advertise illegal products, hard liquor or tobacco, andwe do not carry ads that are sexually explicit. Any other advertising policies are loosely structuredbecause problems inevitibly emerge in across-the-board policies about what is appropriate or inappropriate ad material for a university newspaper. Those decisions are made on an ad-by-ad basis. Our policieshave been questioned lately because of an advertisement published in this paper that some people feel is "racist" or "stereotypical." We have recieved many letters to the editor about thisâ€”all of which areprinted in today' s paperâ€”and the issues presented in these letters are important to discuss. The ad inquestion was always just that: itis apaid advertisement that has nothing to do with the editorial content ofthe paper. However, "sensitivity," "diversity" and "racism" are very real and important issues that theuniversity is constantly trying to confrontâ€”as it should be. This is the perfect place for discussion. Asstudents, we are here to learn how to deal with such problems. Let's face it, because most Westernstudents are white, many can't see that the ad could be offensive to some people. I believe the medianeed to be sensitive to this issue. I don't want to sound hypocritical in this matter; however, I want tolisten to all sides of the argument before making any decisions. One question we should all be askingourselves is whether or not this advertisement perpetuates racism on campus. Obviously a single personis not able to make this decision for an entire campus; that is why the ad has remained in the paper.Would eliminating the ad â€” along with all other supposedly racist and stereotypical images â€” endprejudices and hatred? I am hoping within the next week or two, discussion will continue andunderstanding will ensue. I encourage people to write letters to voice their concerns about this issue andothers. Only through discussion can we come to an understanding. â€” Vanessa Blackburn Editor-in-Chief The Western Front Editor-in-Chief, Vanessa Blackburn; Managing editor, Tedra Meyer; News editor, Pat McCarrell; asst.

Don't leave Fido tied up A dog â€” man's best friend, the buddy that meets its owners at the door whenthey come home, a person's company when nobody else has time to visit, the pet that lovesâ€”evenwhen it is neglected. Wait a minute! Why would Fido be neglected? Many students live in confines notsuitable for pets. These places are not healthy for dogs to stay in all day. However, bringing dogs oncampus is not the answer. More and more I see dogs tied to various building signs, trees and lightpolesaround campus. They yelp at any passerby that happens to give them a glance and sit panting in thesun because they haven't had a drink for hours. Lots of people would like to have their best friend waiting for them when they get out of class, but dog owners shouldn't torture their pets for their ownsatisfaction. Tied up dogs always seem so happy to see their owners when the confinement is over, butwhy wouldn't they be? After being attached to a lightpole half the day, any animal would be elated tohave the jailer set them free. If bringing a pet to school is a way to show love, maybe a more humaneway would be to leave it home. Dogs, however, don't belong confined to any small space. They shouldhave enough room to roam and exercise, a place to do their business, and food and water madeavailable. Dogs also need attention. They don't deserve to be loved only when it is convenient for theowner, such as between classes or after 10 p.m. study sessions. Dogs deserve better from the ownerswho they give so much love to. They deserve a home with a regular routine where they can be loved andtaken care of when needed. Bringing pets to college can ease the transition from home life to schoollife, but at whose expense? Whether or not people should have a pet is their decision, but it isdisgusting the way some pets are left on campus. It's notresponsible ownership, and if a dog owner can't treat a dog at least as well as he treats others, maybe they don't deserve to be one. Sexist costumesstill prevail October brings autumn leaves, pumpkin patches and Halloween. This year, the trick is onthe youngsters and their parents who will have to battle sexual prejudice in costume selection. Althoughthe media pronounced 1992 the Year of the Woman, 1994 is winding up as the Year Man Struck Back.In addition to the witches, devils and ghouls customary for Halloween, one Hayward, Calif, companydistributed costumes with names such as "Bride" and "Harem Girl." Boys wishing to go out as a groomor a harem boy will just have to hope for next year. Brides generally do not conjure condescendingimages. They are true historical figures and should not be eliminated from one's vocabulary or storeshelves just because of some potentially upsetting ancient imagery. â€¢â€¢â€¢Ill ;tfog||rci|: Frontreporter Harem girls have similar historical and cultural value, but they have an added image as property that is more likely to offend liberated women. Children rarely, if ever, choose their Halloween costumesto indicate their politics (although their parents might want to make the decision for them). Selection bychildren has more to do with popular television and movie characters than socio-political significance.Nevertheless, the bride and harem girl costumes represent anachronisms in post-sexual-liberationAmerica. It would be almost as politically incorrect to market slave, savage or American Indiancostumes. Costume manufacturers are not necessarily involved in some patriarchal plot to produceviolent boys and passive girls, but any store's Halloween aisle shows what designers and retailerscalculated to be hot items. They assumed boys would prefer action-oriented characters such as ninjasand monsters, and girls would choose fancy, frilly costumes like princesses and angels. America maybe on the road to leveling the playing field for women and minorities, but encouraging sex-rolestereotypes in Halloween costumes is a devilish method for bending the minds of an impressionablegroup. ---------- Western Front - 1994 October 7 - Page 19 ---------- October 7, 1994 â€” The Western Front OP/ED. 19 Letters to the Editor Advertisement angers many atWestern Dear Editor, The juxtaposition of your new dark-skinned savage logo next to an article on therecent cross-burning in the county (Sept. 27, p. 10) was more than ironic. Unfortunately, the editors ofThe Front may be the only ones to fail to recognize how stereotypical, offensive and racist is suchimagery. Few would not condemn the physical consequences of racism, which range from verbal abuseto genocide. Should we not equally shun the racist ideologies and symbols that are associated with, andoften drive, that violence? Your "Club Borneo" logo draws on the reservoir of racist imagery establishedover the course of centuries. Bone-in-hair implies cannibalism; spear and grass-skirt connote"primitivism;" exaggerated anatomical features suggest the antithesis of an ideal (Caucasian) physicaltype. This logo was repeated 10 times on both Sept. 27 and Sept. 30 and 13 times on Oct. 4. More thanoversight, this is overkill. Or is the hidden intent to change our Viking mascot (perhaps not in itself a badidea)? We can just hear it now: "Go, Savages, Go!" Instead, we suggest that the editors go. Go back toyour comparative GUR classes, to learn cross-cultural awareness and tolerance. Go also forward, toward journalistic ideals that illuminate and educate, rather than toward those that demand and that perpetuate ignorance. James Loucky, Maria Chavez, Stephen Frenkel Dear Editor, If we won't survive as anisolated nation or cultures, as claimed on page 12 (Oct. 4) of The Western Front, will we survive as anisolated university? The Club Borneo ads you chose to accept are disgusting. Actions continue to refutewords and plans on this campus, at least with regard to diversity. Ron Riggins Dear Editor, On behalf ofthe North Puget Sound Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,which discussed the issue Oct. 3, this letter denounces your use of the Club Borneo logo since fallquarter began and calls on you for an apology and its withdrawal. Originally, I believe, it was part of anAccent section ad, but it is now floating freely as filler you have apparently chosen as a Front highlight;nothing else recurs like its 10 uses in 24 pages on Sept. 30. It is a racially defiling stereotype, of the kind I and colleagues here spend class time showing and explaining as a product of 500 years of racistattitudes toward Africa: a black "tribal" male, with spear, bone in the hair, pot belly, frond skirt, splayedbare feet, etc. Other peoples of color endure similar displays. That you accept "Borneo Bob" as part of an ad is bad enough. For you to repeat it elsewhere in The Front, gratuitously, is vile, without the faintestjustification on commercial or free expression grounds. It both reflects on your judgment and, if notchallenged, projects Western as actively (because complicitly) racist. You at The Front are a very publicpart of what we all are. Have the decency, please, to explain your rationale for the logo's use; then, getrid of it, now. in a grass skirt with bones in the hair and holding a spear. I personally found this drawingoffensive and racist and cannot for the life of me figure out what in the world it was doing there. Thisgraphic occurred 10 times throughout the newspaper, and as far as I could discern, it had no reason forbeing there other than as a filler. As a student newspaper, I would hope that the staff makes every effortto represent all segments of the student body, regardless of whether they are a part of the editorial staff. I would encourage you to make more of an attempt to think along these lines when deciding what goes ineach edition. I would also hope that the staff decides to make a public apology for including this kind ofgraphic in our newspaper. We are all here to learn, and I hope that this letter has helped enlighten you to another point of view and to increase your sensitivity toward others different than yourselves.

Ross on low rung of pay ladder His $74,200salary may rise, but boost to equality unlikely By Peanna Shaw He's the poor boy on the block. At$74,200, Western President G. Robert Ross earns less money per year than any other president of afour-year college in state. And although a bigger slice of the budgetary pie may be served up soon, hisportion is unlikely to change his ranking. Western's Board of Trustees probably will discuss a raise forRoss at its February board meeting, although no agenda has been set, board member Curtis Dal-rymple said. He said the board normally tries to review the president's salary once a year, usually inJanuary, but a cancellation of this month's meeting postponed the matter until next month. Ross, whobecame president of Western with a $70,000 salary in January of 1983, received his last raise over 18months ago. But whatever the salary boost settled on, Dalrymple said it may not pull Ross out of hisplace in the salary basement, and it certainly won't be of the magnitude of the salary boost received byWashington State University President Glenn Terrell. Terrell was granted a whopping 19.3 percentpay hike by WSU's Board of Regents in a controversial November executive session, increasing his1985 salary from $88,884 to $106,000 a year. The increase, which would have made Terrell the state'shighest-paid employee, brought howls of protest from around the state and was reduced last Friday to amore seemly 6.7 percent increase, in keeping with raises granted university faculty. Dalrymplespeculated that Western's boards also will hold the presidential salary boost close to the 6.7 percentfigure received by faculty. A full 6.7 percent hike would place Ross's salary at $79,500, only slightlyabove that of Joseph Olander, the new presidet of the Evergreen State College. Olander was hired onJan. 1 for a salary of $78,588, a figure called "out of line" by Dalrymple. "I think the president ofEvergreen is overpaid and he'll probably continue to be paid more than CENTRAL EASTERNEVERGREEN WESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS' SALARIES DEKtl (Sourceâ€”Council of Presidents Office, Olympia.) the president of Western even after a raise, but I can't do anything aboutwhat Evergreen's board pays their president." he said. Paul Ford, vice president for Academic Affairs,also deplored the discrepancy of salaries between Olander and Ross, noting that Evergreen is aboutone-fourth the size of Western, based on student population. He also pointed out that the salaries ofpresidents of Washington's other two regional universities were substantially higher than thatreceived by Ross. "The salary here should be comparable to a peer institution out of state or in state,but Western has none in the state," Ford said, explaining a peer institution is one that approximates insize and scope. Ford said a separate list of out-of- state peer institutions, drawn up by the state Officeof Financial â€¢ see ROSS, p. 12 By Jackie Soler ||Â§mii|iHiilillRliiliHiM KOLBY CAIN :;I gt;itaag^BHMJIB8iiii|iiii|^ttPll because people would slip when Iliip^^ittiiiiiMi^ftpiiii llltt^liiiiliiiiiiii|^iifcllHi^l|^l'Si^|e^^|^^^l5^^1 Need grants cut due to inadequate funds By Tricia Meriwether The State Councilfor Postse-condary Education (CPE) informed 809 students just before Christmas break that: "It is withregret that we must notify you that winter quarter State Need Grant payments have been reduced by $50 . . . According to the letter, many more students applied for financial aid, and were eligible for StateNeed Grants this year than had been anticipated. Therefore, cuts had to be made. "It took us bysurprise," said John Klacik, acting director of student financial aid. In August, the financial aiddepartment first heard of a problem with funding at a CPE meeting. It was announced thai the statehad over-extended itself by $1.1 million with State Work Study and State Need Grant awards, Klaciksaid. Tentative grant amounts usually are established in the spring in order for students to make plans for the following school year. But, in the summer, campus administrators understood that action mightbe taken to cut back the awards, Klacik said. Klacik's committee asked if the cuts could wait untilspring pending the legislature's decision to provide students with supplemental aid, but was notified inDecember the cuts would take place wintei quarter. In total, $40,450 was revoked 1 from students atWestern, he said. One state grant recipient, senior Katy Hollingsworth, wondered, "How can theypromise money they didn't have to begin with? I had no idea there was even a chance that wouldhappen. I was counting on that money for things I need." Grant recipients could get another $50 to $70cut I n their payments this spring, without any refunds of money lost this quarter, Klacik said. But theCPE has requested that the state provide supplemental aid to cover the funds lost. If the legislatureagrees to this request, all State Need Grants will be reinstated to their original level, and the loss thisquarter will be refunded. Klacik said. "We have no idea what will happen,* Klacik said. Ine Legislaturehas until June to decide if ft will reimburse students with supplemental aid. ---------- Western Front - 1985 January 22 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 ANDY PERDUE Conflicts over the Bakerview IceArena may end Western's home season. Home hockey ends? By Bob Marjanovich A conflictbetween Western's hockey team and the Bellingham Minor Hockey Association regarding the rentalagreement of Bakerview Ice Arena could cause the cancellation of the Vik- â€¢ ings remaining homegames. "Our agreement that we had with the arena (which is run by Minor Hockey Association) inregard to ice rental, crowd control and so on, was in question, and we weren't satisfied with some ofthe things they were asking, so we canceled any further activities . . . until we were able to work out acontract," Coach John Utendale said. He said at a meeting last week the association resulted in acontract being agreed to verbally by both sides, but he would not disclose the terms for fear theymay hamper the negotiations. The conflict was not the cause of the Bellingham Blazer gamecancellation on Jan. 18, Viking hockey Manager Chet Cery said. "The Blazers canceled the game astheir playoffs were coming up," Corey said. The main issue in the current negotiations is crowd control and how to handle the alcohol problem in the stands, Utendale said. Utendale said the team will be incharge of providing security for future home games. As of press time, the Friday game against theUniversity of Washington at the arena was on, Utendale said, but should the negotiations "fall apart," the game will be canceled.

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

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

Showing a different perspective Eric, Johnston from the Olympic Center explained the problem ofalcoholics. An alcoholic drinks uncontrollably, he said. "To recover from being an alcoholic is learninghow to deal with alcohol." He compared alcoholics to diabetics; they are never cured and constantlyneed treatment.

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

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

He has studied the music industry via books and musical periodicals since 1974. By BruceVanderpool The past has finally haunted us. Maybe it was the prediction of George Orwell or the vilevision of Nostradamus, but the music of 1984 was a bland sophomoric symphony. Any year that kicksoff with a new intellectual achievement album from Van Halen is bound to be doomed.

This is not meant to be an insult to those who bought such products. Recordcompanies have tightened the choices of what the public can buy. So this gives us a choice from Ratt to Prince and whatever falls in between. The bands that don't fall into this mega-sales category get lost inthe shuffle. To complain about 1984 could become a long and endless process. It would end up dull anddepressing. The music was unimaginative and the lyrics were simplistic; aimed directly at usâ€”thepassive Pepsi generation. Two examples of this would be Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At Night," andCyndi Lauper's "She Bop." The latter being a blatant bastardization of Gene Vincent's rock masterpiece"Be-Bop-A-Lula." Why think when we can react. Right? The record companies have us right in theirhands. Last year also was big in musical media hype: 1. The Jackson's "Victory Tour" that raped andpillaged people for $30 a ticket. 2. Lionel Richie sang live to millions (via television) at the OlympicGames. 3. Ronald Reagan praised Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." album. Big deal. Despitean overall constipated year in music, a few noteworthy things managed to slip out. The pleasantsurprises being: The Honeydrippers, Julian Len-non, Lou Reed and Spinal Tapp. A couple of excellentjazz releases came out last year too.

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

Students andfaculty members at Western's Vehicle Research Institute are culminating several years of work at afeverish rate to complete the Viking VII research car. The car will appear at the Society of AutomotiveEngineers' International Congress and Exposition Feb. 15 in Detroit, Mich. "It (the car) must be doneby the middle of February," said Michael Seal, VRI director. The project began several years ago, Sealsaid, but several other VRI projects slowed construction. Now, Seal said, they are able to concentrateall their efforts on the car. John Kutz, a senior who has been working on the car for about two years,said, "We're pretty much just trying to slap it together and make it look beautiful." He said the car isbeing shown at the exhibition in Detroit mainly for publicity. Chrysler has some research projects theVRI would like to get, Kutz said, and the lab wants to show Chrysler what it can do. Jeff Vickers, VRIresearch associate, said the exposition will display prototype vehicles, and the Viking VII will be the only U n manufactured car there. The car features a Subaru-manufactured engine that the VRI partlydesigned last year. Vickers said Subaru was_yery happy with the work done on the engine and was glad it will be in the exhibition. Viking VII is a high-performance sports car that weighs less than 1,000pounds. Vickers said most sports cars weigh between 2,500 and 3,000 pounds. It will get 60 to 70miles-per-gallon on unleaded gas. 'We're pretty much just trying to slap it together and make it lookbeautiful.' The $400 windshield on'the "VII is the same as that used on the car in the television show"Hardcastle and McCormick." The cost of the windshield, as well as the financing of most of the rest ofthe car and transporting it to Detroit, is being paid for by Alcoa Aluminum. By Stanley Holmes WhenPhil Ershler began climbing in high school he had no idea that one day he would make a living in the mountains and be one of a few persons to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. Ershler is aprofessional mountain guide for Rainier Mountaineering. He leads climbs year-round to Mexico,South America, Alaska and Mount Rainier. In 1982 Ershler was a member of Lou Whittaker's China/Everest expedition that failed to reach the summit. On that attempt, Ershler's good friend, and the onlyfemale member of the team, Marty Hoey, died when she fell at 26,000 feet. A year later Ershlerattempted Everest again, this time as a member of the Seven Summits Expedition. Although he didn'treach the summit, other members of that team did. So when Whittaker asked him if he would like to goagain in 1984, he had no problem saying yes. When he returned in November, he. was the only teammember to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. After the usual amount of storms, doubts andsickness that plague an expedition as it moves up the mountain, Ershler and his partner, JohnRoskelley, left the high camp (the highest point on the mountain on which a tent is pitched) for what they hoped would culminate in the summit. At 28,000 feet, Roskelley, who has an ethical objection againsttaking oxygen artificially, turned back, Ershler said. They were climbing the north face of the mountain,which is much colder, and could not be climbed without bottled oxygen. Ershler said the fall season inthe Himalayas also is much colder than the spring. Roskelley was worried about frostbite andhypothermia, he said. At that point, Ershler said he had no difficulties deciding to solo the remaining1,100 feet. "I was so totally consumed with the mechanics of climbing, making sure I picked the rightroute so I could get back, and that I had good climbing technique," he said. "The fact I was aloneheightened my concentration. I knew I couldn't screw up." He reached the summit at 3:45 in theafternoon and spent exactly 15 minutes on top. As he stood alone on the highest ooint on earth, he took a few pic-ures and remembered Hoey and Chris Kerrebrock, another climbing partner killed on Mt.McKin-ley while training for Everest. He said he did not feel euphoric on the summit. The mountainVickers said a research car such as the Viking VII usually costs about $250,000, but this project will run only about $15,000. The main reason for the low cost, Vickers said, is students do most of the work,drastically reducing labor costs. The car will be outfitted with Goodyear tires, which have new specialrubber compounds that help them stick to the road better. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries, makers ofDitzeler Paint, is providing all of the paint. PPG Industries sponsors all of the Indy-circuit cars. TheVRI's research Viking cars have been entering contests since the early 1970s, winning most of them,but Vickers says those contests have become scarce. He attributed that to the fact that the energyscare, which brought about much of the research, is over. The* kind of research the VRI engages in hastaken a backseat to military research. Seal said, "Right now, government is not sponsoring muchresearch unless it's got a military application. The industry seems to be following the lead of thegovernment." s Everest demanded too much concentration. In order to survive the descent, heneeded all the physical and mental strength he could muster. Once he reached high camp, the emotionof standing on the top of the world became more pronounced. Now that he's climbed Everest, he said he hasn't stopped thinking about climbing other mountains in the Himalayas. "If anything, standing onEverest shows you how many things are left to doâ€”you can see them all from the summit," he said. Tomorrow he will be at Western showing slides of the successful climb at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 4.Admission is $3. yplillp^ 'efejÂ»Shia^ :e,"said Mary Carskadon of Stanford erstfj^ o n l ^ s, but theymay be developing (sleep) j ^ ^ ^ | U l ^ ^ | | w ^ | ^ | n ^ i p P M ^^ M i t j ^ | ^^ ighters" before examshinders, rather Kielp^ vigils cause deprivation of REM (rapid npwrnent!|sl keplreiu^ d l f j S i^falw6reÂ£re^ toajfll^ iextremetcal^ j ufrayoijlia^ ^ta;c;kp'\Vh^^ Disorders Clinic^ at :.the-':Sj i^i lt;lIh1verf^ CHRIS BALDWIN rying about school work keeps students (anxiety) takes a long time to work out of the stration/ computer science major, said that :|!e|!i|p suppress REM sleep.

Of course, a little modesty never hurt anyone, except maybe Lewis-Clark State and CentralWashington last weekend as Western defeated Lewis- Clark 65-43 Friday night and shut down Central 79-58 Saturday night. Dolfo scored 14 points on each of the two nights and added six rebounds Fridaynight, while Terry came up with four assists in her first appearance. She scored eight points and fiveassists Saturday. "They (Dolfo and Terry) may think they're going to sit there," Viking Coach LyndaGoodrich said, "but they won't sit there long." "Lisa and Carmen did real well," she added, "just like they were with us the whole season." Not that the veterans weren't doing anything. Forward CindyPancerzewski scored 16 points Friday and 17 Saturday and pulled down nine rebounds each night.Center Anne Coopertied hercareer mark of 15 rebounds Saturday.

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

Here, they battle for rebound in the contest won by theVikings, .62-57. â€” It's been a tough season for Western's men's basketball team, but Saturday night it made up for all the frustration, tripping up Central, 62-57, in overtime at Carver Gym. The Vikings wonthe game at the charity stripe, hitting 26 of 31 free throws, including nine of 12 in overtime, while sending the Wildcats to the line only once all night, where Darrell Tanner hit one of two. "We had to get 'em,"said guard John DeFranco, who hit three of five freebies in the overtime, including one that gave Vikingsthe lead for good at 56-55 with 1:02 to play. "We just decided that we weren t going to foul them," hesaid. "We packed it in on defense, and we weren't going to give them the easy shots inside. We toldourselves that if they were going to beat us, they'd have to do it from the inside." Shane Nickel, thebiggest Viking at6-foot-7, was the one who had to contend with a Central frontline that included 6-8center Ron vanderSchaaf and 6-7 forwards Tanner, who transferred in from Washington, and RodnieTaylor, a transfer from the University of Oregon. "They got in there and forced it up and expected it to go in," Nickel said. "It was good. They are an awesome team.

The Wildcats expanded that margin to 32-25 at the break,then put on an 8-2 burst to take a 40-27 lead with 16:50 to play. It looked as I though the rout was on.Someone forgot to tell the Vikings, though. The turning point of the game came with 10:41 remainingwhen Central committed its seventh foul of the half, sending Western into one-and-one. The Vikings hit17 of 20 free throws after that point. The Vikings clawed their way back into the game, and a pair of TimDickerson free throws cut the margin to 45-41 with 10:15 remaining. Western couldn't come any closer,though, until Larry Tuell hit both ends of a one-and-one with 4:11 to play, cutting the margin to 49-47.DeFranco finally pulled the Vikings even at 49-49, with (what else?) a pair of charity tosses with 1:51to play. Both teams had opportunities to win, as the Wildcats turned the ball overtwice in the final twominutes, and the Vikings turned it over on a traveling call. But they got the ball back, only to have TimNicholas' 19-footer hit the backside of the rim and bounce away at the buzzer. Nicholas' shot came from the same spot where Todd Bailey's jumper gunned down the Wildcats last season, and DeFranco andCoach Bill Westphal remembered. "It was an instant replay," DeFranco said. "I figured it was all over."MIIMMH $2.00 off all kegs â€” Sunday thru Wednesday Westphal said, "I couldnt believe it.

"We were behind,but I looked around, and I heard the crowd, and I said 'we got this game, it's ours.' They were incredible," he said. Westphal said the Vikings planned to get Central in foul trouble. "Our second-half philosophy was to take the ball to the hole, and draw fouls, not to live or die by the jumper," he said. "When we'vetried that, we've died."

Last month that reporter, Michael Wickline, then-managing editor of the DailyEvergreen, took an upside-down glance at a memo on a secretary's desk and learned that WSU's Boardof Regents planned to grant retiring university president Glenn Terrell a 19 percent pay increase.Fortunately, Wickline's ensuing story touched off a statewide chain reaction of protest about theincrease, which would have made Terrell Washington's highest-paid public official. Last week the WSURegents bowed to public pressure, and reduced Terrell's pay boost to 6.7 percent, the same increasethat state faculty members are scheduled to receive. Those regents had to be forced to limit Terrell's payraise. One would hope Western's Board of Trustees will take advantage of the WSU hoopla and take itupon themselves to keep their senses when they discuss a raise for President G. Robert Ross nextmonth. Ross sits at the low end of the university-honcho totem pole with his current salaryâ€”apaltry$74,200 peryear. A 6.7 percent raise for the president seems fair, especially since Western's !faculty will receive the same. But why stop there? Almost half of that 6.7 percent granted to Western'sfaculty is doled-out to those professors deemed "meritorious"for excellence in teaching. As a result, amajority of faculty members are left with a 1.2 percent pay raise, while others may receive up to 20percent. And since university presidents must be meritorious to be in the position they're in, surely Rosswouldn't mind undergoing a merit evaluation like other state-salaried educational professionals oncampus. It would be the only meritorious thing to do. Higher fee needed for better service On Jan. 23Western students will be asked for their reaction to a possible increase next year in the $6 HealthServices fee. Options include leaving the fee at $6, or increasing it to $8, $9 oi $10 a quarter. If the fee is not increased, cuts in Health Services offerings inevitably will occur. Health Services would no longer beable to afford its contract with St. Luke's emergency room. Also gone would be two of Health Services'fiye part-time nurses. ' An increase in the Health Services fee. definitely is needed, but a $2 increase isn't enough and a $4 increase is too drastic for what will be gained. An $8 fee is expected to raise about$214,000, with an additional $9,000 coming from service fees and the Whatcom Medical Bureau.This would be $6,000 short of the revenue necessary to hire a new director to replace Evelyn Schuler whois retiring. The new director would be qualified to write medical prescriptions. A $10 fee would allow forhiring the new director and an assistant director, purchasing a computer and offering programs such as biofeedback and "wellness." By adopting a $9 increase, almost $250,000 would be raised allowingenough money to hire a new director and have almost $20,000 in reserve to allow for inflation and eitherpurchase a computer or sponsor some more programs, whichever would be most useful. In any case,students should voice their opinions at the open hearing tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge.Cinderella goes to the governor's ball Color coordination a must By Janice Keller C inderella goes to theball. . . or rather middle-class girl from Western goes to the governor's inaugural celebration. Never mindthat I had to dig out my beer-stained lace gown left over from my high school prom, borrow shoes fromfriends, and talk a wealthy aunt out of her mink coat and jewels for the occasion. Forget also that I hadto ask someone to escort me and have him give me a crash-course in ballroom dancing, then begBooth Gardner's office for tickets to the eventâ€”I was going to the ball.! Not only was the inauguralcelebration honoring a new governor whom I respect and admire, but the gala event had historicalsignificance as well. For the first time in state history, the Legislative Building, with its majestic dome,was the site of the ball. From the House and Senate floors to the third floor of the rotunda, the 4,000guests filled the grandiose building. The elected official's offices were open as well as the StateReception room, the governor's conference room and even the marble-floored cafeteria, for all to tour.Reino Moiso played for dancing in an Balancing toys between men and boys Playing in a nuclear ageelegant state room overlooking the capital campus, where guests danced until midnight. Fashion andcolor coordination are vitally important at this type of social event, mainly because the biggest reasonfor attending is to watch everyone else. Clothing must be appropriate and everything must match. Themen have it much easier than women. They throw on a simple tuxedo and away they go. Women,however, must worry about everything they wear. When 1 finished dressing, my gloves matched myshoes and my dress (a minor miracle), and my underwear matched my date's tie and cummerbund.But still 1 worried . . . until we arrived and the first inaugural guest 1 saw was a large woman in a dumpyblue dress and clunky black shoes. Assured that someone looked worse than I did, we floated into theball. For every Glamour "Do" at the ball, there was a Glamour "Don't," including one satin-clad lady whorelinquished her wine glass to swig from a bottle of. Riesling. Worse yet, the son of a well-known statepolitician chose casual brown shoes to wear with his black tuxedo . . . tacky, tacky, tacky!! Still, it wasfun to be at the state capitol with such a variety of power and prestige, as well as regular people likemyself, and have the opportunity to offer a champagne toast to Gov. Gardner. . .and it was worth the$20 ticket just to see my date walk out of the ball with a 1980 bottle of Hinzerling Vineyards Chardonnayin his pants. By Naomi Stenberg I t was a very simple war spread out on the living room floor. Theforces of Cobra, led by Zartan, advance from the jungle, creeping stealthily over the marshy ground. Alone 'copter appearsâ€”it's a Dragonfly JF6784026 with a red, white and blue insigniaâ€”Wild Bill, acrackerjack G.I. Joe, fires a missile. In the mind of the boy directing the war, a huge, gaping hole opens up. And Zartan and the Cobra forces are enveloped in swirling, noxious smoke. 1 asked the 12-year-oldcommander if he'd consider "nuking" the bad guys. He looked at me indignantly, "My G.I. Joes wouldnever drop a nuclear bomb. They're not that stupid." "Besides," he continued, "these are toys. The realthing can stuff it up their butts!" he laughed, turning to go back to "the front." Then he said soberly, "Thereal thing scares me to death." Nathan wrote to Reagan two months ago. "Dear Mr. Reagan: I think youshould stop building up. nuclear arms. I want to live to be old . . . " The letter was sent last week. Lastnight, Nathan's mother wandered into a mine field. Flip Breskin is a folk singer who was once run downby a truck during a peace march. She surveyed the evening's wreckage and said laconically, "Well,Nathan, maybe we could get out some sterno and show you how to napalm people." He said with morethan a hint of fear in his voice, "I don't wanna find out." Like most humans, Nathan is a study inparadoxes. He showed me a plastic pellet about the size of a baby tooth. "This is the only bomb I have.It's a flash-fire bomb, I believeâ€”blinds the pilot." He reminded me of something Truman said about thebomb that hit Hiroshima. "That bomb had more power than 20,00 tons of TNT," Truman announcedproudly over the airwaves on Aug. 7, 1945. "It had more than 2000 times the power of the British GrandSlam, which is the largest bomb ever used in the history of warfare." Maybe the only difference betweenmen and boys is the size of their toys. I wonder if Reagan floats a U.S. Navy in his bath-' tub. . . or plays with space missiles for fun. He doesn't seem to knowâ€”anymore than Nathanâ€”the true nature of histoys. At the close of the presidential debates, Reagan talked about driving along the Pacific Coast, being struck by its splendor and wondering about the people who would drive that road years later. "Theywould know," he said, "whether we used nuclear weapons or not." Ronnie, if your G.I. Joes drop anuclear bomb on the Cobra forces and they retaliate with even a fraction of their arsenal, there won't beanyone around to know if there was a coast at all. There won't be any beaches, ocean waves, AnnetteFunicelloâ€”there won't be a Pacific Coast. Grow up,, Peter Pan, and look at the gamma rays. This is our only time around. I have aaimage of Charlie Chaplin in hat and tails in the film, "The Great Dictator." Hebalances the earth delicately on the end of his stick, floating it up like a gossamer bubble. How transient life is when we are the little plastic people on the living room rug, and our fates are in the hands of a boy. ---------- Western Front - 1985 January 22 - Page 11 ---------- TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 11 S LETTERS Liberals uneven in condemnationWestern Front, The liberal establishment's sudden rush to condemn South Africa's apartheid policyand divest our university of investments with banks dealing with South Africa causes me to feelsomewhat ambivalent. On one hand, I applaud the rousing of an apathetic public to action against oneof the more brutal examples of oppression in this century. One the other, I deplore the lack ofcommitment, energy and devotion to the rights of those people suffering from oppression undercommunist rule. It seems to me that a nation must be traditionally aligned with the West in order toqualify for vilification by the liberal establishment, while excesses by communist or Third Worldcountries go unnoticed and/or unchallenged. There is a double standard here, and I think somethingneeds to be done abut it. I wish Yvonne Ward and her friends would champion the cause of brutallyoppressed Soviet Jews and Christians as diligently as they do that of black South Africans, it would bemore even handed if Ms. Ward introduced an AS resolution directing the university to withdraw itsfunds from banks dealing with the Soviet Union, as a gesture of solidarity with Soviet Jews andChristians imprisoned in the Gulag. The brutal mistreatment of these two groups is every bit as deserving of attention as the South Africans. Would the AS act as energetically on their behalf? I doubt it. SovietJews and Christians aren't the rage nowadays. They aren't "in." They're not getting the press. And worstof all, they're being oppressed by a non-western coun- â€¢ try. And people oppressed by non-westerrfcountries generally tend to be ignored. Now, if a group is being oppressed by a nationtraditionally aligning itself with the West, well that's a horse of a different color. For that group all the sorts of things can be done. By all means, withdraw our funds from institutions dealing with SouthAfrica. But withdraw them from institutions dealing with the Soviet Union, too. -Remember the blackSouth Africans and fight for their rights. But remember Soviet Jews and Christians and fight for theirrights, too. The time has come for the AS to prove it champions the rights of all oppressed peoples, notjust those residing in pro-western countries. Come on, Yvonne. How about some equal time andconsideration? Eric Leibman In Defense of Ward's Actions Western Front, I am sure that Yvonne Wardis more .than capable of defending herself, yet as a reader and an interested observer of this conflict, Itook offense to the level of unreasoning persecution displayed by Mark Watson in his letter of Jan. 18. Mr. Watson begins his attacking and trivializing Yvonne Ward's concerns over pornography and SouthAfrica; as if merely having an opinion is bad. If apathy is such an overriding concern to Mr. Watson,perhaps he should not be commenting. Second, Mr. Watson criticizes the move to boycott IBM sayingthat it would have been ineffective. Certainly, toppling IBM was not. the goal of any AS board member.The question was whether or not we should be helping IBM by purchasing from them. This is at thevery least a legitimate question. With another questionable display of argument, Mark Watsonwonders what Ms. Ward was doing reading Penthouse anyway. Surely an AS officer has a right, indeedas responsibility to react to what is being sold by this university. This is called university self-government and it is neither impious nor paternalistic. Finally, as if to proclaim that even blatant sexismis not dead, Mr. Watson asks whether the "surrogate parent" in Yvonne Ward would wish to cook forhim. She might, but considering the tone of his letter, I don't think that poison would be completely out of the question. Ken Bahm Board member disputes opinion Western Front, In your editorial of Jan. 15,you stated that "the AS Board is making resolutions to be followed by the rest of Western, and not by itself."

State institutions are kept competitive with those out of state so they are able to attracthigh-caliber applicants to job openings.. A list of peer institutions normally is given to the board forconsideration, Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, said. The board receives a partial list of eight peer institutions which Cole said are commonly used as comparisons to Western.Among the schools are California State/ Northridge, Ball State Indiana and New Mexico State, whosepresidents earn $80,000 or more. On that list, Ross again ranks at the lower end of the echelon withthe average peer institution president earning $78,850, a figure 6.3 percent more than Ross. Only thepresidents of Portland State University and University of Idaho make less, at $72,528 and $67,184,respectively. Ross, who could not be reached for comment-about his potential raise, earlier commentedon the large wage increase granted Terrell, saying he thought public employee wage increases ingeneral should be acknowledged early on, but that the increase was not really out of line given the sizeand magnitude of the job. He said recent dramatic increases for key government posts in the stateplaced the Terrell raise in a "totally different light."

Dalrymple was quick to praiseRoss for his excellent job as president of Western, but was just as quick to reiterate the board wouldact with expedience.

"It's totally up to the board. They look atwhat others are getting and what other people on campus are getting percentagewise, and then,certainly, they look at the performance of the president and his experience before reaching a decision."WHERE WHEN Health Service Fee Hearing.

But now things have changed. In thepast year alone, shocked administrators and students watched helplessly as lawmakers in Olympiasliced almost 20 percent from the budget of higher education. With further cuts still a distinctpossibility, the future of entire academic programs now are in doubt. During the next nine months, and inthe years that follow, that future will be determined. Forecasts of what that future may be, vary, but topadministrators agree that the changes Western now is experiencing are immense. In addition to massivereductions in funding, enrollment is expected to decline by as much as 9 percent. The drop will endangermany programs dependent upon student-paid fees for their existence. Meanwhile, the school awaits thearrival of a new leader. University President Paul Olscamp announced his resignation last March,setting the stage for an intensive search for a successor, due to be named some time in December. Thechanges extend even further. Economic realities have forced a major shift in the way students use theirpolitical power. While this campus once was a hotbed for political radicalism, a very mainstream student-funded interest group, the Washington Student Lobby, debuts this fall. Although Western is shrinkingfinancially, physically it still has been allowed to grow. Construction of the South Academic Building, to be used primarily*for business-related courses, has been completed. Planned and approved several years ago, it could signify the last remnant of Western's era of expansion. If the era of growth has ended, thenwhat era lies ahead? One thing top administrators stress is that any move that would weaken Western'semphasis on the liberal arts must be avoided. "My biggest fear is that the university system could bemodified in such a way that the regional schools (such as Western) could all become technical schools," said Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs. "These kind of budget cuts curtail our availabiity tooffer a liberal arts education." Hard economic times also have been reflected in the way studentschoose their classes. "I've seen students become more focused on careers and on their education as ameans to a career, sometimes more than they should," Quinlan .said. Acting University President James Talbot agreed with Quinlan that students have been shying away from less practical academic programs, but he stressed that Western's future will remain tied to the liberal arts. "Students need to be reassuredthat following that world of ideas will still put bread on the table," Talbot said. Professional studies, oncecalled the "servile arts," provide applicable skills for the job market, hut liberal arts complement everypart of daily life, he said. While emphasizing Western's commitment to the liberal arts, Talbot and otheradministrators also raised questions of future cuts in low-enrollment programs. Talbot said further budgetcuts certainly will mean elimination of some programs and the consolidation of others. A committee nowis being formed to examine what programs may be terminated, he said. The future of various programs atWestern is dependent, of course, on future legislative actions in Olympia. And Talbot pre- . diets, the'legislature will dig even deeper into Western's already . ; continued on page 16 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Enrollment drop may cut deep By MITCH EVICH Thisyear's budget for student-funded programs may be as much as 9 percent smaller than last year, if alarger-than-antici-pated enrollment decline proves true. And although much of the decline had beenexpected and budgeted into this year's Service and Activity fee split allocations, it still will wield a"significant impact on student programs," Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, said. The dropin enrollment, tentatively estimated between 800 and 900 students, about 100 more than predicted inMarch, is primarily the result of an administrative policy adopted to maintain the stan rd faculty-student ratio of 22-to-one in the wake of last fall's Reduction in Force, in which 48 faculty members losttheir jobs. "If we had not taken steps to reduce our enrollment, we'd be in a hell of a mess," saidRegistrar Eugene Omey, explaining why admission standards to Western were tightened. "Hopefully, by keeping the student-faculty ratio intact, the quality of education that each student receives will not beas affected." Although it is not yet known just how much the enrollment drop will affect each of the three constituents of S A feesâ€”the Associated Students, the Depart-mentally Related Activities'Committee, and the Housing and Dining system, administrators agree that all student-funded programswill need to be closely scrutinized. "We have less money to meet greater demand," Quinlan said. "Wehave to look very closely at our priorities, and find out what programs are the most important." About$60 from each student's quarterly tuition goes into S A fees. The money is used to fund a variety ofprograms, ranging from interscholastic athletics, to day care, to various programs within the housing and dining system. The funding for such programs is going down, but the cost of operating them is not."On the one hand, inflation is forcing operating costs up all the time," Quinlan noted. "At the same time,enrollment goes down, and S A fees are reduced correspondingly.'' AS President Mark Murphypredicted the increased enrollment reduction "would make a dent" in the AS budget, but most likelywould be dealt with smoothly. Keith Guy, Director of University Residences, said the housing anddining system, which receives the largest portion of S A fees, will not be severely affected by the cost of the S A funding itself. Rather, the impact of the enrollment drop will be felt more directly, in the formof reduced occupancy in residence halls. The housing and dining system receives most of its fundingthrough room and board fees. Deparmentally Related Activities Committee chairman Larry Richardsonwas unavailable for comment. DRAC comprises interscholastic and intramural athletics, and various other extracurricular activities. This year's enrollment reduction may be the first of many in theyears ahead, if demographic indicators prove accurate. Omey pointed out that the baby boom era hasended, and the 18- to 24-year-old age group will shrink during the next several years. The trend isexpected to continue throughout the mid 1980s and then reverse itself toward the end of the decade.Tom Quinlan Cut threat provokes program review BY LORI McGRIFF While rumors of more cuts inWestern's already seriously wounded budget circulate among administrators, a move is being made toprepare for what some say is the inevitable. The budget knife is expected to return this year. But topadministrators and faculty representatives say this time they will be better prepared to make thecuts where they should be made. Apian .submitted to the^ Board of Trustees at its Septembermeeting calls for the creation of two committees to review all programs, departments and serviceson campus. One committee will look at academic programs and departments while the otherconsiders the strengths and weaknesses of non-academic programs. The academic review commit- |tee will attempt to plan for student populations of10,000; 3,db0, ; 8,000, and 7,000. The committeealso "will pro-'" t pose the criteria by which pro- : grams will be assessed',for possi- | ble' enhancement,reduction, , consolidation or elimination: Recommendation for any cuts in programs also: are expectedto be submitted to the Trustees. The committee will be composed of eight members. Ten nominations for six positions will be submitted by the Faculty Senate. Two nominations will be submitted by theAssociated Students Board, Staff Employees Council and Administrators Association for theremaining two positions. The non-academic review committee will recommend changes inadministrative, structures, including possible elimination of programs and services. The committeewill be composed of six members. Five nominations will be submitted by the Faculty Senate forthree positions and two by the AS Board, Staff Employees Council and Administrators for the threeremaining positions. Health service fee to be charged Students registering for six or more credits thisquarter wilibereqm^ when they pay their tuition. The temporary mandatory fee was approved by the Board of Trustees at Its August meeting and overrides an original plan tri'require payment only when servicesare used. The emergency measure was taken because of recent budget cuts and to insure that healthservices continue to be provided on campus, Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, said. ,The fee is subject to re-examination by the Board of Trustees duringthe quarte^and maype removed ' bywlhteh Q nian;saicl.s ' About one quarter of We^stSrn's student population: used the health, centerilast year. -Evelyn Schuler, director of. health services, said the mandatory fee will notcha-nge theservices, only;;; make sure tjiey continue. A Some of the services offered include,an allergy clinic andinjections, preventive medicine, nutrition/ diet/weight conferences, contraceptive advice and pregnancytesting. A physician and registered nurses also screen , students for referral to doctors in the area andsome medication for minor problems is available. Quinlan said the new fee will allow the university tomeet legislatively mandated budget reductions in student services without destroying the health centeror other services. If the emergency measure had not been taken, the offices of financial aid, academicadvisement, and career planning and placement could have had services cut or been required tooperate only four days a week, Quinlan said. The decision to implement the fee came after an ad hoccommittee for health services submitted a report recommending a mandatory fee and discou-raging auser fee. "â€¢/-:; ./â€¢" ] : The user fee would be too expensive to adminis- .: jer and could discourage-students without'-cash from coming to gethelp, Quinlan said. Four trustees voted for the mandatory fee. A fifth, Marven Eggert, voted against it because he said students should hot have to bear the financialresponsibility.

Located on the first floor ofCanada House, the club will open its doors tomorrow to all faculty who have paid the $5 initiation fee and the $5 monthly dues. Dues will go toward paying moving costs, maintenance and rent. While still in its planning stages last spring the club came under fire for using university monies to finance anarchitectural design for remodeling Canada House. Richardson, of the speech department, said part of the rent will go toward paying back the money. Opponents also said it was inappropriate for the Faculty Club to displace academic programs. Canadian/American Studies, which had occupied the firstfloor of Canada House, will move upstairs. Pacific Northwest Studies, which had been upstairs, movedto the Commissary in Fairhaven. A few quirks still need to be straightened out, Richardson said, suchas the amount of rent to be paid. The club will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.Richardson said the club may extend its hours on Fridays, but that has not been settled yet, , SAGAwill serve a limited menu .of soup, salad and sandwiches.

But work still continues on several other construction projectsscheduled to be finished before classroom doors opened. The Viking Union elevator, work on ArntzenHall Food Facility and the Viking Commons kitchen will continue to add the echoes of hammers and stacking bricks to Western's soundwaves. Meanwhile, business and economics students canacquaint themselves with their new south . campus building. The newest addition to Western'sdiverse architecture, tentatively named the South Academic Building, has 10 large classrooms, manyof which are modeled after the Harvard Business School's most popular classroom design. The five story building is occupied by the College of Business and Economics, except for the ground level floor,which houses the speech pathology and audi-ology department. About 80 offices and 60 labs are in thebuilding, which was designed with a "businessman image" in mind, Eric Nasburg, director of Western'sfacilities development offices, said. The grays, blues and and purples used were intended to follow the motifs being used in modern business buildings, he said. "I think people are happy with the design,"Nasburg said. But, he added, tastes change with the times. Wick Construction was responsible for thework done on the $6 million building and the design came from Robert Price Associates. Work on thebuilding began Dec. 2, 1980. The Viking Union elevator, delayed from its original deadline by almostthree months, is not expected to be operative until the end of October. Problems with matching bricksand delays in equipment delivery caused the project to miss its target date of Sept. 10, Nasburg said.The elevator is being built to meet state codes and to provide handicap access to the VU basement.Plagued with problems of meeting fire code regulations and contract agreements, the elevator first wasscheduled to be completed July 1. The $216,429 construction project was started Dec. 3, 1981.The Arntzen Hall Food Facility is expected to be completed Sept. 30. The coffee shop, in the southwestcorner of the ground floor of Arntzen Hall, still needs cabinets installed and the floor finished. The$200,000 food facility will seat about 100 people. Service will be similar to that provided at Miller Hall'sCoffee Shop, Nasburg said. The retiling of the Viking Commons kitchen floor should be completed thisweek, Nasburg said. The "wear and tear" of large food preparat ion equipment and water on the floorfinally broke up tile, he said. Construction on the Viking Union elevator continues. Recipients to getfinancial aid on time By JIM BACON Unlike thousands of needy students across the United States whoare caught in the middle of fights between Congress and the Reagan administration, Western studentsexpecting their financial aid checks when fell quarter starts will get their money. While forces on CapitolHill and in the White House have been fighting over new regulations, about half the aid money alreadydesignated for the coming school yearâ€”about $600 millionâ€”has remained undisbursed leavingschools across the country scrambling to help keep their students in class. The University ofPennsylvania, for example, is tossing in $2 million to help cover the financial aid program while it hopesto get the rest of its allocation from the federal government later in this fall. At the University ofConnecticut, students can apply for up to $250 in two-week loans. The school said it also will deferfees. "We won't have the problem like these folks have/' said Western's Financial Aid Director WayneSparks. Sparks speculated that the troubled schools around the nation either started classes beforeWestern's scheduled first day or they are on a semester system, requiring them to distribute half theirfinancial aid money right away. Because Western operates on a quarterly system, Sparks said, it mustdistribute only one-third of its aid money now. Sparks said the U.S. Department of Education sent formal letters notifying colleges of available aidâ€”and then only for half the total allotmentâ€”about two months later than usual. Western's financial aid office received its letter Aug. 24. The letter came late, Sparkssaid, because the education department sent its proposed new rules governing such federal aidprograms as the; National Direct Student Loan and the College Work-Study Program, to Congress about four months late. This caused much of the delay because Congress by law must have 45 working daysto act on the proposals, which were sent on Aug. -2. Financial aid administrators and students alsofaced delays in processing the paperwork required for Pell Grants. The payment schedule, which setsthe amount of grant money a student can get, arrived in July. "We should've had it by May or June at the latest," Sparks said. In addition, until June 15 the education department required that every student aidreportâ€” the form that tells financial aid administrators if a student is eligible for a Pell Grantâ€”must be validated with either a student's or parent's income tax return. Meanwhile, Sparks said Western expects to receive notice of the rest of its aid allocation by the end of the month. Also, the recent Congressional override of President Reagan's veto of a $14 billion spending bill will add $140 million in Pell Grantmoney and $77 million for supplemental grants. About 1,500 students applied for aid at Western thisyear, about the same number as last year, and the approximately $3.7 million offered to them is aboutequal to last year. Despite the late start in making awards, a financial aid spokesman said all theawards have been sent out. /? ^ \ ATTENTION STUDENTS RETURNING FROM SUMMER VACATrONIf you need new phone service, before you make a trip to the Bell PhoneCenter, we would like to suggestthat you contact the Pacific Northwest Bell business office on 1-453-3511 (toll-free) first.

As part of the project, deputies will go door to door from 3 to 6 p.m. next Monday through Wednesday to register residents at DIAMOND EARRING SALE 50%OFF RETAIL FROM 19.50 UP DAHNKEN Holly Garden 671-0500 Mon.-Sat. 10-6 Sun. 12-5HEAVENLY SMORGASBORD *2.9S If you love pizza, here's some good news.

They'll also be at Western Dining halls at meal times those days.Students can register any time at the AS office. Mabry said she hopes "several hundred" students willregister to vote.' 'We want to register every freshman," she said. College students and the poor havefaced drastic reductions in government funds and programs because legislators know they don'tvoteâ€”that's why higher education now faces severe cuts, Beletz said. Mabry noted that according tothe office of Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham), fewer than one-third of college students voted inlast fall's election. "I think the entire political trend is lending itself to greater student political activism."Registration is a 60-second process," Beletz said. But he added that those who want to be registeredneed some type of verifiable identificationâ€” a driver's license, a student ID card, a meal card or an oldvoter's registration card. Mabry said registered voters who want to change their residency need toregister again. What about those who aren't interested? "We're going to try to explain to them howimportant it is for them to vote," Beletz said. "It is important because students need to maintainpolitical credibility in the eyes of legislators." In addition to arranging on-campus registration,: Mabry has written clergy of 16 churches and the one Bellingham synagogue, requesting that deputies be allowedto register people Sunday at their places of worship. The AS also has asked clergy to encourage theircongregations to vote, Mabry said. Deputies also will be stationed from noon to 3 p.m. tomorrow andFriday at the Food Bank, and they'll register people from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday and Sept. 30 at theWashington State Employment Security Department Office. The deputies will go Sept. 29 and 30 today-care centers.

Although fewer students will be here, they will be the ones who deserve to behere most. By tightening admission policies in the form of higher minimal gradepoint averages andother criteria, Western's administrators are not, as some student leaders boldly have asserted, denyingdeserving students access to higher education. Rather, they have moved to avoid the greater of two evils, namely denying students access simply because they can't compete with spiraling tuition costs.Mitch Evich As Student Affairs Vice President Tom Quinlan pointed out, "We do not think it isethically responsible for us to admit students whose chances of success are very low." Quinlan Hitupon a note that those who believe everyone should go to college refuse to acknowledge. Access tohigher education is limited; that is a fact dependent on the structure of society. The question is, whoshould be allowed in" â€” those with the academic ability or those with the financial assets? A criteriabased solely on ability may seem a bit callous, but the alternative is much less desirable. The only other way of reducing enrollment is to eliminate more students via more tuition hikes, and it need not be saidwho would be the losers in that sort of game. One argument inevitably surfaces to refute suchassertions, based * on the student whose deprived background is in fact responsible for his pooracademic showing. But exemptions abound for such cases, and anyone showing anymanifestations of potential can overcome a deficiency in basic requirements. The college system can't accommodate everyone, and perhaps that is unfortunate. But let's make sure the people who areaccepted are the ones with the best chances of achieving a degree four years hence. Reagan's latest:one big pain President Reagan does not seem able to take a hint. Despite a lukewarm reception toward his "New Federalism" proposals (presented to the public last spring and quickly forgotten), Reaganis planning to re-ignite the fires beneath his pot of federalism mush and feed it to the leader of state andlocal governments at a Sept. 30 White House summit session. Our illustrious showman's latestbandwagon technique could tranfer 45 federally controlled programs over to state and localgovernments. Included in this proposal is Reagan's plan for the federal government to take over theefficient Medicaid and food stamp programs in exchange for a state take-over of the mismanaged,hard to administer Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. By handing over control of these programs to the states, Reagan is masterfully and conveniently unburdening himself. Peggy Loetterle iat could be easier than tossing troublesome domestic programs down to the states, hoping theprograms will shrivel up and die in the anti-taxation atmosphere of fiscally strapped states? Ourmagician's subterfuge is a new attempt to reduce benefits to the poor without appearing to do so. It's anow-you-see-it-now-you-don't trick designed to fool millions of lower-income Americans who are notreceiving enough help these days, anyway. The proposal will do little to relieve deficits or oiler anyinitiatives to abate the lingering recessionâ€”with the exception of diverting public attention from a still-puttering economy, huge revenue shortages and high unemployment. It's unrealistic to expect localgovernments to handle the burden of these costly programs when Reagan's policies already have helpedcripple rapidly deteriorating urban areas. And it's . rediculous to magnify their suffering by creating acostly swap-a-rama while most state, city and county governments still are straining under a darkrecessionary cloud. Perhaps Reagan is willing to brew up another, more nourishing, pot ofmushâ€”this time he can feed it to the one million food stamp recepients who've been going hungry since their benefits were eliminated. ![7J*jraEE2 gt; Fairhaven reflects Western's diversity It's easy to pickout freshmen during the first days of fall quarter. They're the ones who walk through Red Square with their heads on a swivel, obviously agog at just how much different this place looks compared to the typicalsuburban-area high school. The biggest difference is the people. Western has long-haired students,short-haired students, conservative students, radical students. For many people, that's one of the mostattractive things about Western. It's diverse, open-minded and open to academically oriented students ofany stripe. Newcomers to this 224-acre campus will come to appreciate that diversity. If they care abouttheir school, they'll be angry to hear that some of this university's leaders are considering closing downone of Western's shining stars of diversityâ€”Fairhaven College. Fairhaven is no stranger to threats ofextinction. Along with The Evergreen State College in Olympia, it's been one of the right wing's favoritewhipping boys in the Legislature. Hostility to Fairhaven can be traced to a vicious streak of anti-intellectualism in the Legislature. The men and women in Olympia who'd like to see the nationally knowncollege closed seem to think a program that doesn't produce tomorrow's business leaders just isn't worth funding. Several administrators and faculty members here apparently share that idotic, short-sightedview. That's tragic. Closing Fairhaven to save money is Reaganomics at its most mean-spirited level.More precisely, it would lend a hand in turning Western into a trade school that produces businessmenand technocrats. Now, we need bankers, electrical engineers and architects, but we also need men andwomen committed to alternatives to the normal and the humbrum. Future freshmen at Western shouldhave the chance to meet people from different backgrounds with different interests. If Fairhaven and other liberal arts programs here are terminated, future freshmen may shuffle through Tied Square with headsslanted toward the bricks. It would resemble another Red Square, half a world away. WSL needs votes;support your lobby Amid budget cuts and tuition increases, the Washington Student Lobby arrives on the scene reminiscent of the cavalry coming to the rescue. But, unlike the cavalry, the WSL can't whup thebad guysâ€” in this case, budget-ax wielding legislatorsâ€”all by itself. It needs the support of students.The WSL will have a full-time paid lobbyist in Olympia for the start of the legislative session in January.The lobbyist will strive to educate and persuade legislators to support the needs of higher education. The lobby is financed solely by students assessing themselves $1 at the time of registration. Without thisfinancial support the WSL will not be able to function at the level needed to do its job. But, studentsshould not just donate their dollars and expect the WSL to fight the battle for them. For t he WSL to besuccessful, students also must register to vote, which easily can be done at fall quarter registration.Moreover, they should vote for legislators who support students interests. Students are notorious non-voters, making them easy prey for budget-scalpers. Legislators, fearless of students voting them out ofoffice, are free to raise tuition and cut higher education's budget. The budget already has been hacked by almost 20 percent and the legislators have not laid down their hatchets, yet. If the students rally aroundthe WSL, however, they still may be able to hold down the higher education fort.

Or at least that's what is printed on the fall quarter registration map above the recommended 11 steps to a smooth landing onto the Western runway of higher education. I'm lost. Not because I do not know where I am, but because anxiety has struck as hard as on my first day of school. I literallywas dragged up the steps of Wade Calvin Elementary School in Sumner, screaming louder with each tug on my arm. I'm at Western now, on my own. I am expected to happily accept the trauma of beingherded like cattle with multitudes of other students, while trying to figure out what classes I want to takeand pray they are not full. I am lost in my own freshman fear. I realize the consequences of myoversleeping. I missed freshman orientation. So I now must find my own way through the registrationmaze, without the benefit of prior instruction. Faculty advisement helped me somewhat. I know whatclasses I should takeâ€” or at least don't want to take, which is nearly all the 101 introductory offers. Iam 15 minutes late for my 2 p.m. registration appointment and the drugs are taking effiect. The longline winds out of gym D's mouth like a cobra's tongue and licks the east side of Bond hall. 2:30 p.m. Ienter Gym D, the old brick warehouse next to Carver Gym, to pick up my personal schedule packet. A signâ€”"Welcome to Western and Happy Registration "â€”is no consolation for my growing paranoiathat I won't get a packet because of a computer error. 2:45 p.m. Somehow I make it up the stairs inline, which snakes through a course of nylon ropes attached waist-high to volleyball poles. Mentalflashes of a dehorning machine . weaken my knees as I wait long enough in line for sweat to break out.3 p.m. My turn) a voice tells me, "You may go to line five." I tell the computer operator my magicpersonal informationfor her to punch into the data device. Relief. My packet, consisting of two computer cards, is handed to me and I am told to go to Gym C. Another signâ€”"Proceed to Gym C with yourpacket. Please Watch your step." Signs with a red "R" are everywhere. I You've just blown your mindwith four consecutive nights of partying. Now, you face the savage journey into the heart of. . . ImmricHRegistration presume this simple form of non-verbal communication will lead me where I need not go.After descending stairs and making a couple right turns, I find the entrance to gym C, Carver Gym'supper wing. I'm handed a schedule card. I ask for two, in case I screw up the first one. But a look of Tiltake back the one you have if you don't move along" sends me running up the stairs past anothersign:"Please show your packet." 3:15 p.m. In Gym C students are frantically filling in their schedulecards. I get my first look at lists with the dreaded yellow lines drawn through the classes closed toenrollment. Yellow lines are everywhere I look. My options: Introduction to, Orientation to, Principles of.After a lengthy schedule-card- crossword puzzle, I am set with three classes for IS credits. ' 3:45 p.m.Another sign: "Proceed to Gym B. Pick up your admit cards." From the balcony above, the main gym isa great lizard pit of untraceable movement. Chaos. What minute pacification I received from actuallyfinding three open classes in the afternoonâ€”I like to sleep as late as possibleâ€”is shattered. I walkdownstairs into the myriad bodies. In the center of the bizarre convention of students is another stationwith lists of filled classes. It's more current than the upstairs edition. I have to check again to see whichclasses are full. Disaster strikes without warning. Two of my afternoon clases are full. In desparation I rip out pages of the magazine-style class schedule. I hesitate at an ad: "MARINES. Maybe you can beone of us." 4 p.m. After a blistering mad scramble, I find two more introduction-for-the-masses classesat 8 and 9 a.m. I stagger to each respective department table and collect yellow class cards. I ask if thecooling system is out. It feels like it is about to rain inside the gym, the humidity is so unbearable.Cautiously I sit down at the south end of the gym to fill out a computer card with my haphazard schedule. I take notice for the first time of Do Not Remove From Registration Area â€” stamped on the card.4:15 p.m. A violent scream sends my paperwork flying into the air. Another insane scream momentarilystops the action on the carver Market floor. All class trading comes to an abrupt halt. Someone acrossthe gym is screaming my name. I trace the voice to the mouth of the person I am assigned to spend thenext nine months with. I knew I was in trouble the first day I met my roommate and his 200-watt ampwith refrigerator-size speakers and his girlfriend Mona with the snake tatooed on her shoulder. Now he is screaming at the top of his lungs at me. What's that? Keg? Stack four? Taps in 15 minutes? Mind-bending substances available? I had to escape from the gym immediately. I collect my cards and hopeI've done them correctly. I sprint up the stairs to Gym A, the final check-out. I catch my breath andrealize the ordeal is almost over. The registration people have what they wanted all alongâ€”my originaldo not bend, spindle or mutilate cards. 4:30 p.m. At last! The fee billing station, the last stop on themap of disconcertion. No, I do not want health insurance. Everyone has to feel he lives dangerouslysomehow. Luckily the $320 tuition is not due until Oct. 1.1 forgot my checkbook in my hurry to makemy appointment. It's finally over. I am wound up as tight as a tourniquet. I feel a violent surge overtakingme. . . .So, borrowing the immortal words from a little-known philosopher, "It is time for sedation for myown protection." First day of class is tomorrow.

As of Friday^ housing officials were accepting applications for the 236 beds stillavailable in campus dormitories. "We have spaces in every building right now except Beta and Nash,"Director of University Residences Keith Guy said. But new residents of Western's dorms either will haveto send smoke signals or visit Pacific Northwest Bell's "Phone Mart" if they seek to contact the off-campus world. During the summer telephones were removed from campus dorms and apartments tokeep room and board rate increases at 5 percent. Guy estimated that remaining on the Centrex phoneservice would have led to a 9.2 percent increase. The phone removal will save Western $17,000 a monthin equipment charges alone, he said. Because Pacific Northwest Bell claimed students were notpaying their long distance bills, direct dialing was eliminated last year, Guy said. A dispute remained,however, about who would pay for the unpaid collect calls received on campus phones. PNB askedWestern to pay the bill but Western refused. Finally, it seemed best to remove the phones, he said.Students must arrange and pay for their own phone service this year. To accommodate the new system, PNB is operating a "mini phone center store" near the registration center in Old Main, Margie Wickham, PNB service representative, said. It will remain on campus through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.daily. Students can select their phones there, she said. Because of the new phone system, studentswill save money on long distance calls because they can dial direct, Guy said. Many students probablywill decide to share phones instead of getting one for every room and this will result in additionalsavings, he said. Depending on a student's credit rating, PNB will charge up to $80 for a deposit andabout $30 in service start-up fees, according to PNB rate schedules. Other policy changes in thehousing and dining system include new rules governing room changes and intoxicated Two studentswere surrounded by boxes and furniture as they moved into Higginson Hall last ! weekend. students inthe dining halls. In past years confusion and instability were caused by constant room changes duringthe quarter, Guy said. This year arbitrary room changes will not be allowed during the quarter. "Only inan emergency situation would we authorize a move during the quarter," he said. The constant roomchanges disrupt the staff and keep students from getting involved in their studies, he said. "Our staff are students, too," he said. Another change will give SAGA employees the right to hold the meal card of astudent who is obviously intoxicated. The card will be returned to the student after his meal. This willallow for easy identification of the student should problems occur, Guy explained. It also will simplifygetting retribution should damage occur, he added. If the student is so intoxicated that he cannotfunction, the staff has the right to refuse service, he said. Intoxicated students are not a huge problem,he said. "But the staff felt they needed this right." How to find a good bank your first week on campus.

MASON Huge wilderness awaits the hardy By MARK CARLSON ~ Make no mistakeâ€”WhatcomCounty never will be confused with Parma, Ohio. Beyond the pulp mill plumes of Bellingham and theDutch-reformed Kitsch of Lynden are hundreds of square miles of wildernessâ€”culminating in thehands-off-capitalism North Cascades National Park on the county's eastern fringe. Better yet, all ofthis wonderland is laced with hiking trails that allow outdoorsmen to probe river valleys, roam highland ridges and scale peaks. The North Cascades are considered by many to be the Lower 48's premierwilderness area. It doesn't take much money to relish this region's delights, either. All you need isenough gasoline to drive to the trailhead, a knapsack containing lunch, additional warm clothing, theU.S. Geological Survey map that covers the area you're hiking, matches, a knife and a flashlight. Inaddition, it's best that hikers never set off alone on a journey. If you break an ankle, you'll want someoneto summon aid. Of course, hikers should pack lightly only for day hikes in good weather. If you'replanning a multi-day trek through the wilderness, you'll need additional gear and a reputableguidebook, s u c h as the M o u n t a i n eers' 101 Hikes in the North pure Cascades. This article willaddress only day hikes accessible to anyone able to walk more than several miles at a single shot.Winchester Mountain Though it climbs to the lofty 6,521-foot-high summit of Winchester, this five-mileround trip is one of the easiest hikes in tne North Cascades. The toughest task on this trek is driving tothe trailhead. Travel the Mount Baker Highway to Glacier and continue another 13V2 miles before turning left on a road signed "Tomyhoi Trail 5, Twin Lakes 7." This road was built by the county and isn'tmaintained by the U.S. Forest Service. It's in terrible condition. Unless you drive a Jeep or some otherfour-wheel- drive vehicle, you'll probably want to walk the final couple miles to the trailhead at TwinLakes. The Winchester Mountain trail climbs through heather, alpine trees and flowers to the summit,which is the site of a long-gone lookout cabinâ€”on clear days it affords a sweeping view of the NorthCascades and the Puget Sound lowlands. The trail should be snow-free through the end of October.Chain Lakes Loop Mounts Baker and Shuksan dominate this six-mile journey through alpine meadowsloaded with blueberries. Follow the Mount Baker Highway to its end at Austin Pass. The first part ofthe journey is a dull hike up a battered gravel road, but things get much nicer at the formal trailhead atthe roadend. In a scarce few hundred feet you'll encounter a spur trail veering to the left. Keep right, for the spur trail crosses a steep and extremely hazardous snow field that's no-man's-land unless you own an ice axe and know how to use it. â€¢ " , The main trail wanders over a â€¢ 5,400-foot saddle alongthe base of Table Mountain and then laces through a series of pretty mountain lakes. You'll want tolinger at many spots along the way to listen for the whistles of marmots and the distant thunder ofwaterfalls. Between the final two lakes on your journey, watch for a spur path on the right. It gains 900feet in two miles and winds up near the trailhead, where your car is parked. It wipes out the necessity of returning along the gravel road, since the main trail winds up at the Mount Baker Ski Area. The ChainLakes Loop usually is snow-free until early November. Baker River This trail neither ascends highpeaks nor rambles through alpine meadow. Rather, the Baker River Trail follows the river of the samename through one of the few remaining wilderness valleys '-l the nation. And instead of culminating ina scintillating view of mountains and water, the Baker River trail simply peters out in the midst of adeep, damp forest. Because the trail crosses into the North Cascades National Park, you'll need a parkservice back country permit, which is available at park headquarters in Sedro Woolley. The trail hoversat around 1,000 feetâ€”that means it's snow-free most of the year. It makes a fine hike when the highcountry is covered with 10 feet of snow To find the trail head, travel on the North Cascades Highway,14Vz miles east from Sedro Woolley. Then turn left on the Baker Lake- Grandy Lake road 14 miles toKomo Kulshan Guard Station on Baker Lake. Follow the gravel Forest Service Road 11% miles beforeturning left on a "half-mile spur. Take the first right, and drive another half mile to the trailhead. Hikethree miles along the trail, enjoying along the way views of rushing white water and occasionalglimpses of Shuksan and other white giants. Have lunch at Sulfide Creek before heading back to the car. Thunder Creek Another wilderness valley, except this one deserves top priority for an outing. Its futureis in jeopardy. Seattle City Light wants to raise the height of Ross Dam, which would flood thisexquisite valley and ruin it forever. Find the trailhead at Colonial Creek Campgroundâ€”it's just off theNorth Cascades Highway near Diablo Dam. The trail follows an inlet of Diablo Lake for about one milebefore plunging into virgin-growth timber. A good turnaround point is at a campsite on McAllister Creek,six miles from the trailhead. Once you're back home, immediately sit down and write Seattle City Lightto strongly express your opposition to its plan to turn Thunder Creek Valley into a mudflat. Sendcarbon copies to Congressman Al Swift and Senators Henry Jackson and Slade Gorton. Cascade Pass Here's the granddaddy of them all. It's a seven-mile round trip to an historic notch high in theCascades. The pass has been a cross-mountain route traveled by Indians, prospectors andexplorers since before history was recorded in these parts. Drive the North Cascades Highway toMarblemount and turn right on the Cascade River Road 25 miles to the trailhead. The extremely well-maintained trail climbs at an easy 10 percent grade through forest for two miles before exploding intospectacular alpine parklands at the pass, 5,400 feet above sea level. Take care not to trample thefragile meadows at the pass, and don't light campfires. The area has suffered from overuse and the ParkService is seeking to rehabilitate those portions of the region that have been loved nearly to death. Butby all means exploreâ€” don't just confine your stay to a brief lunch stop. A two-mile side trip to 7,600-foot-high Sahale Arm beckons for the adventurous-the path winds to the left up a ridgeâ€”who seek evenmore extensive views. Other side trips deserve to be taken, which means you'll return to Cascade Passagain and again. Epilogue These are just a few of the dozens of tremendous trips the dedicated NorthCascades traveler should investigate. Explore as many as you can, but don't feel you should seek outthem all during your stay at Western. That's impossible. This area has enough adventure for alifetime of hiking. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 9 Rental shop serves man-of-all-seasons Many ofWestern's sendees are designed to help students survive the classroom, but at least one program cangive them an adventurous escape from the often gray academic cloud. The Associated StudentsEquipment Rental Shop in Viking Union 113 leases recreational equipmentâ€”including skis, ice-climbing gear, rafts and canoesâ€”and sells bicycle parts along with tools for bicycle repair, at low prices. Theshop is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. During fall, students' biggest demand probably will be forcamping gear, John Forsen, summer manager, said. Stoves, tents, sleeping bags and frame andframeless packs could be in short supply, he said. Wetsuits are available for use* with rafts or for othersportsâ€” including wind surfing and scuba diving. As the seasons change, different items gain and losepopularity. "It (the equipment) is all very seasonal," Forsen said. Because of winter's usual snowfall onMount Baker, all of the shop's skis, boots and snowshoes are used during most weekends, Forsen said.The shop leases 30 to 40 pairs of cross-country skis and 20 to 30 pairs of ski boots. The shop's four pairs of mountaineering skis have no-release bindings, called "bear traps." Students can choose betweenwaxable and non-waxable skis. Bellingham transit ready for shuttling By DON JENKINS Westernstudents without automobiles don't have to find themselves stranded on campus. Bellingham MunicipalTransit System serves the campus with four buses stopping in front of the. viking Union on High Street,and one bus stopping by the Viking Union Elevator on Garden Street. Fare is 25 cents (exact changeonly) and tokens are 25 for $5. The transit system has no transfers. Tokens can be bought at the vikingUnion information desk where a complete bus map and schedule are posted. Tokens also can be bought at most banks downtown and at the transit office located at 2200 Nevada Street. Many Bellinghammerchants also sell tokens.

Center aims students in right direction By SETH PRESTON Many students becomeconfused about requirements to get a degree. To avoid taking unneeded classes or missing the onesneeded, students can get help from Western's Academic Advisement Center. "Basically, at theAcademic Advisement Center we're interested in helping students get access to Western'sresources," said Program Director Ron Johnson. The center provides a full range of academicadvisement services with emphasis on the pre-major student. Areas of service include new and returningstudent academic orientation, general advisement for continuing pre-majors and special advisementfor students experiencing academic difficulties. "We're geared to freshmen and . sophomores, toadvise them while they're pre majors and to help them with General University Requirements,"Johnson .said. "Once they get a major, they get advisement from their department." Most advising inthe center is done by peer advisors, students who have gone through a training program to prepare themto cope with other students' academic problems. "We also function as a type of referral department,"Johnson said. "We can assess the individual's advisement needs and tell them where they can receive the proper aid." Johnson said he also sees educating students to make intelligent academicdecisions as a function of the center. "For many students, their freshman year can be shocking. Thereare a lot of new pressures, such as living with a roommate they've never seen before and a new systemof classes." The center also helps students experiencing problems with scholastic standing, such asbeing placed.on academic warning or probation. Student withdrawals from Western also arecoordinated through the center. Academic Advisement is located in Old Main 274, and is open from 9a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The telephone number for more information is 676-3850.

Hiroshima pleads 'feepeace ::i^liftfi^fcil3Srf^SiP-Wmm A war for peace is being fought. This is the first ina series on the protest against nuclear weapons, a movement that demands disarmament. Story andphotos by.MASARUFUJJMOTO HIROSHIMA, Japanâ€”Every year since the holocaust of Aug. 6, 1945,this city has pleaded with the world to end the nuclear arms race. At the Hiroshima Peace Park, the37th Peace Ceremony started with Mayor Takeshi Araki's peace proclamation. "Hiroshima is notmerely a witness of human history. Hiroshima forever is an admonition for human future. When wecannot remember Hiroshima, we will repeat the error, and it is obvious that the I history of mankind willcome to the end," said Araki, a survivor of the Bomb. The mayor has sent messages of protest towherever nuclear tests are practiced. Already this year 15 tests have been reported throughout the world. He urged all countries that own nuclear weapons to disarm now and swore that Hiroshima never will stop appealing for world peace. Every year the city adds names of newly identified bomb victims to the death list and dedicates them to the Peace Monument in the annual ceremony. This year 3,060 namesjoined the death list. Inside the monument are the bones and skulls of 70,000 unidentified victims. TheA-bomb Memorial Dome in Hiroshima is a reminder of Aug. 6,1945. It is 15 minutes past 8 a.m.moment'37* years ago. the fateful Three B-29s invade the clear sky. Two are decoys. The third,nicknamed Enola Gay, drops the first atomic bomb, "Little Boy."

Former SkagitCounty Prosecuting Attorney Pat McMullen and 1981 Western graduate Astrid Dahl are gunning for the40th District Legislature jobs of conservative Republicans Homer Lundquist and Pat Fiske. Fiske andLundquist swept into office, two years ago along with the GOP tidal wave that engulfed the United States. But, along with many other Republicans who rode President Reagan's coattails into elected office,Fiske and Lundquist are being rapped for the nation's current economic ills and reduced services forlow-income citizens. At least, that's where McMullen and Dahl are focusing their criticisms. Dahlespecially is concerned about GOP-led slashes in higher education spending, pointing out Fiske hasvoted for tuition hikes and against education spending during his first term in Olympia. "We can't cuthigher education any more," the 33-year-old Sedro Woolley resident told The Front last week "It takesso long for any institution to build up its reputation, and if we continue tearing it down, we're looking at20 years of re-building to get it where it was." Dahl said she favors "closing tax loopholes for business" and making any future cuts in the "higher levels of the bureaucracy" to help fight the state's hugerevenue shortfalls. Services for Washington's residentsâ€” what Dahl calls the "lower levels of thebureaucracy"â€”can't be cut any more, she said. Dahl also branded Fiske as an "inaccessible"legislator, and vowed she'd meet with constituents regularly McMullen, who served as Skagit Countyprosecutor from 1974 until 1980, said he's running against Lundquist because of the tendency for HouseGOP leaders to conduct business in an atmosphere of backroom secrecy. "The leadership lockeditself behind closed doors and didn't tell the public what was going on during the last session," he said.In addition, Republicans "slapped the public in the face with so-called 'regressive' taxes such as thefood tax," McMullen said. McMullen called cuts in higher education outlays "short-sighted." "We'vegot to promote growth with educated people," said McMullen, who currently is city attorney for thesmall Skagit County towns of Hamilton and Lyman. McMullen knocked off Western political scienceprofessor Chuck Fox during the Sept. 8 primary. "Chuck could have beat Homer," he said, adding thathe entered the fray to "beat Homer Lundquist, not Chuck Fox." The 37-year-old McMullen said he thinksLundquist is "very vulnerable," pointing out that his and Fox's combined vote totals in the primary weresubstantially larger than was that of Lundquist. Lundquist did poorly in the portion of the 40th districtwhich includes Western, possibly because of his anti-colleges voting record in the Legislature. McMullen lives in Sedro Woolley. By LORI McGRIFF Although separated by fiscal boundaries, two Westernalumni in the 42nd District legislative race agree that education should be salvaged from the state'sshrinking programs. Republican Rich Bosman and Democrat Dennis Braddock won primary races lastweek, placing them in the final stretch for the seat that will replace Democrat Mary Kay Becker. Thebattle, they agreed however, will not be fought over education but on how best to balance the budget.Bosman, calling himself a "fiscal conservative" who doesn't want to see people get hurt by budget cuts, said he is against a tax increase. Braddock said he supports a 1 percent income tax with a threshholdexemption that considers ability to pay. Bosman, a political newcomer, said he needs to examine thepossibility of more cuts in education before he will support putting an end to them. But he added that ifcuts are to come they should be targeted at the administrative level. "There are some areas that need tobe looked at," Bosman said. The Washington State Patrol trooper said he doesn't expect increases infinancial aid from the state. "I don't think realistically it will happen." "Getting the very most for taxdollars" is one promise Bosman said he will keep if he is elected. "I'm against raising taxes if at all^possible." "' The 33-year-old Bosman graduated from Western in 1971 and later joined the state patrol.He's been with the state patrol for 10 years. Bosman in last week's election defeated Hugh Pottle, whowas seeking office for the third time. The Western graduate from the Lynden area has the Lynden-basedsupport that helped place state Rep. Roger Van Dyken, Whatcom County Executive John Louws andCounty Councihvoman Shirley Van Zanten in their positions. Bosman said he would do whatever hecould to avoid raising taxes and warned voters to be wary of Braddock's spending reputation. Braddockexpressed his support of higher education but said he didn't expect more financial aid to be available atthe state level. "It's going to be hard enough paying the instructors," the 38-year-old planning consultantsaid. " A member of the Bellingham city council for nine years, Braddock said increasing jobs can't bedone on the local level until the national economy picks up. "I won't promise no new taxes. I think we'veheard that before," he said. The state's fiscal situation may call for more money, he said. Calling thedeterioration of education the greatest danger the state faces, Braddock said he hopes no more cutswill become necessary. "I think we have to improve the educational system," Braddock said. The cuts have left it in "pretty dismal shape," he said. Braddock attended Western for two years in a graduatepublic administration program during the early 1970s. He called Bosnian's fiscal conservative stand "athreat to women's rights and the needs of society."

Services aid handicappedstudents By LESLIE NICHOLS Entering college is traumatic enough for a typical freshman, but thetrauma can be multiplied many times for a handicapped student. Western's Office of Student Life triesto ease disabled students' entrance into college through the office's services, many of which aresupported by volunteers. Perhaps the most significant for disabled students is accessibility toWestern's programs and buildings, a result of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. One of the act's regulationsstates that classes and other programs must be accessible to the handicapped. Although the actdoes not require the handicapped have access to every building or part of a building, it states thatthe university as a whole must be accessibleâ€”and most buildings on campus are. In addition, theuniversity is building an elevator in the Viking Union. Mobility impared students can be provided withaides and a campus access guide which explains how Western benefits students and which contains a c c e s s i b i l i ty maps of the university. The maps show accessible routes, entrances and restrooms; routes that may require assistance; curbs graded down to street level and ramps; elevators, wheelchair lifts and automatic doors and lowered drinking fountains and telephones. Deaf and hard-of-hearingstudents may use the interpreter referral service and TTY (teletypewriter) or amplified telephones. Blindand partially sighted students can receive help from volunteers who take notes in duplicate and give oneset to the disabled student, read aloud a book or tape it for the student or read an exam. Wilson Library also helps students by providing study rooms where taped lectures or books can be" read." The libraryhas special equipment for vision-impaired students to useâ€” including tape recorders, a braillewriter, atext enlarger, braille materials and typewriters with large type. Braille is on the button panels of many ofthe elevators on campus. Western offers additional services and programs for the handicapped,including: adaptive physical education sessions such as swimming, volleyball and basketball; parkingnear major classroom buildings; door-to-door transportation to lt; and from campus; accessiblehousing; the Disabled Students Organization and the speech and hearing clinic in College Hall.

They observe figureheadstudent-politicians spending the brunt of their time being tripped up by nuances in parliamentaryprocedure. They watch their student government struggle for nine months to obtain that all-importantpop machine in the lounge, only to have it revoked by mandate of the principal. And they notewidespread apathy among fellow students. Some carry those same images throughout college, andindeed, Western's student government occasionally acts.in away to reinforce such sentiments. Butmore often than not, many observers agree, Western's Associated Students is the most effectivestudent political body in the state. True, not many students vote in AS elections. Last spring's 27percent voter turnoutâ€”ostensibly sparse to the casual observerâ€”was the highest in recent Westernhistory. But, as Western's acting University President James Talbot points out, the studentgovernment here "actually gets things done." "If you want to get involved in student government, this isthe place to come," Talbot said. Ton Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, agreed:. "The potentialfor student involvement in the decision-making process of the university is extensive." The AssociatedStudents are not loved by everyone, however. Student leaders often have clashed with university officials (most conspicuously with Board of Trustees Chairman Curtis Dal-rymple and former UniversityPresident Paul Olscamp) and even Quinlan notes that for the Associated Students, the "playing ofpolitics sometimes becomes an end in itself." But the-Associated Students' successes wouldseemâ€”at least recentlyâ€”to outweigh their downfalls. During the last year they led the way in formingthe Washington Student Lobby, a statewide political body designed to represent higher educationinterests in Olympia; spearheaded the organizational effort of the Students Opposed to Red-' uctionsin Education rally in Olympia last" November and, more recently, gained at least partial concessionsfrom the trustees in their legal battle relating to student involvement in the search for a new universitypresident. Seated at the peak of the AS government is President Mark Murphy, a 22-year-old English/peech communications major AS Work Day set for today the Limit," at noon in the VU plaza, livebroadcasts by KUGS-FM radio throughout the day and continuous showings of the movie "ReeferMadness" by the Drug Information Center. "The main reason for the day is to encourage students tobecome involved with the AS," said AS President Mark Murphy. . The Associated Students hasscheduled a "Students at Work Day, " an opportunity for new and returning students to become oriented with Western's student government, from 10 a.m. to 4 (p.m. today in the Viking Union Plaza and otherareas. The day will include a perfor- â€¢ mance of the swing band "Sky's who took office last June,following May's election. Murphy heads the nine-member AS Board of Directors, the final body ofauthority in student politics. In general, the functions that Murphy and the board perform can be dividedinto two basic categories: their dealings with the university administration and their decisions of fundingfor student-supported programs. Their representation on other governing committees can be viewed as a sort of domestic policy. In the same way, the AS board's relations with other universities and with thestate legislature is comparable to a federal government's foreign policy. As a result of massive budgetcuts during the past year, the "foreign policy" role took on particular importance. A stronger web ofinter-university connections now exists than ever before. But Murphy says many of the external collegeorganizations gradually are growing autonomous of the AS Board. The WSL, for example, althoughformed through student government, will function separately. Such autonomy, Murphy predicts, willmake the AS board more effective at home. "The AS has always been very active, but by being tooactive in external affairs, we may jeopardize the relationship (between the Associated Students anduniversity administrators)," Murphy said, referring to what he says is viewed by some administratorsas overly-extreme actions by students. "Someone needs to scream," Murphy said, "but now someoneelse will do the screaming."

It is in this realm that the average student is most likely to become aware of the existence ofstudent government. Every spring, the AS board, in conjunction with a university committee composedof students and administrators, allocates student monies to various clubs and organizations. As in allbudgetary processes, some groups come out looking better than others. "Some interests tend to belouder," Murphy noted. "But that doesn't mean they will be listened to more than others." In addition to its nine elected board members, Western's student governance system is filled out by scores ofappointments to univestity committees. Most students who are interested manage to be appointed tosome sort of committee, and thus gain initial experience in the Associated Students organization,Murphy said.

Each dining establishment on campus offers the student varied foodchoices, reasonable prices, atmosphere and scenic views. At the south end of campus, in the Fair-haven College complex, a coffee shop on the ground floor of the administration building looks out upon acourtyard surrounded by apartment buildings. The specialty of the coffee shop is a freshly grilledhamburger. Vegetable selections from the salad bar can complete the meal. Wooden tables aresurrounded by modern art on the walls. The lighting is dim and cozy. Arntzen Hall coffee shop is in the southwest comer of that building on the ground floor. Newly built, its projected opening date is Sept. 30. This shop will offer coffee, donuts, soups and sandwiches and a view of the new South AcademicBuilding. Miller Hall coffee shop is next to Red Square plaza and Fisher Fountain. Red Square is thecrossroads of upper campus. Students stopping at Miller Hall coffee shop should try a cup of soup or asandwich. Inside the coffee shop, the atmosphere is smokey and often noisy with conversation.Seating usually is limited. Food service is cafeteria-style in the three dining halls on campus. Dining halls are located in the administration building at Fairhaven College, Ridgeway Commons and VikingCommons. Although open to all students, dining halls are primarily used by residence hall occupants.SAGA Food Services, the corporation that operates the dining halls and most eating establishments oncampus, offers several selections for each meal. Every Saturday night is steak night. The same viewis available from the fifth floor of the Viking Addition coffee shop. Mexican food is a specialty and a potato bar serves up hot, baked potatoes with condiments. The Ala Carte on the fourth floor offers on the fourth floor offers two eating rooms that are small and intimate. Students who have no time to sit down to ameal in dining halls and coffee shops can stop by the coffee den and bar on the sixth floor of the VikingAddition for ham-burges and sandwiches. Sandwiches can be purchased at the Deli just a few yardsaway. Students choose from a variety of meats, cheeses and breads. The Deli is one of just two placeson campus where students can find Tony's coffee. lt; The other is right outside the Deli in the VikingPlaza where a vendor sets up shop on a picnic table each day. Cookies, cake, fruit and miscellaneousgoodies can be bought from other Plaza vendors on campus. CELUOPHANE SQUARE RECORDS TAPES L DAM to 9 PM RWED$UMCEi D// *FREE RECORDS K K Â» 2 0 7 E. HOLLY STREET-BELLIMGHAM-676-1111 GURstobe emphasized by Tutorial Center By SETH PRESTON ~ TheTutorial Center will begin its second year on campus with an emphasis on providing student tutoringfor General University Requirements. "The quality of the Tutorial Center depends on the quality of thetutorsâ€”the heart of the matter is student-to-student relations," said Ron Johnson, AcademicAdvisement Center director. The Tutorial Center is a sub-office of Academic Advisement and falls underJohnson's jurisdictipn. The center's hours have been expanded to make it better available to studentswith heavy morning class loads. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.Monday through Friday, instead of last year's 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The increased hours mean additionaltutors will be hired to maintain the same services offered before. Although the expansion is takingplace at a time of budget cutbacks, Johnson does not seem surprised. "Tutors are relatively cheapduring cutbacks, plus they are providing a valuable service," he said. Despite initial publicity difficulties when the center first opened, student-tutor contacts increased to 1,467 spring quarter from 941 winterquarter. "I was pleased and surprised," Johnson said. "The figures were much higher than I expected."The key element, obviously, is students' word-of-mouth. We'll expand or contract rapidly according tostudent opinionâ€” we have to keep up the quality." Johnson said the center will strive to do more of thethings it did last year, such as providing review sessions for GUR classes before tests. The center islocated in Old Main 285, and its services are free. Students are encouraged to make appointments bycalling 676-3855, but .appointments are not required. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 16 ---------- 16 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Cutbacks felt all over campus By DAVE MASON Toparaphrase Mark Twain, any rumor of Western's death would be an exaggeration. But the recent series of large cuts in the university budget has forced Western to suffer a painfully strict diet â€” a diet thathas not only cut all the fat, but also has begun to weaken the university's muscle. Western's days as agrowing institution â€” from a teachers' school to state college to a university â€” have ended. Instead ofgrowing, Western is now shrinking with some programs being consolidated while others are dropped,deans say. The Board of Trustees has directed administrators to review the university's priorities. Even if no further reductions are made in the budget â€” the latest was a $1.4 million cut this summer â€”Western will have to lose more weight during the 1983- 84 year. Faculty positions that were spared thebudget ax this year will be cut in June. 'most severe year' And 1982-83 "probably will be one of the mostsevere years in our history, much more severe than the Reduction-in-Force (cuts in faculty and staff) in1976-77," said James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Deans, however, are optimistictheir colleges â€” and Western as. a whole â€” will survive budget cuts, despite how much programs arehurt by cuts and despite the patience the cuts will require. "I don't think the university is about to bedestroyed," said Dan Lamer, dean of Fairhaven College. "We do have to be imaginative. . . We'll have toface the loss of programs." Fewer sections of courses will be offered because Western reduced thenumber of full-time faculty positions this year to 426 from 474. Some classes will be offered only once ayear, Davis said. In fact, if more positions are cut, some physical education courses may be offered onlyevery other year, said Chapelle Arnett, chairman of the physical education department. "Poly Sci 250(and 101) will be hard to get into," said Ralph Miner, chairman of the political science department.Waiting lists already have mounted for the courses, which are prerequisites for upper-division classes.Secretaries cut One change with an immediate impact is the reduction in secretarial staffâ€”by 50percent in the College of Arts and Sciences. The cut means departmental offices will be open fewer hours and several offices will be closed during the noon hour, Davis said. Students who call an office when it'sclosed will have to leave a message with an answering machine. In addition, faculty members may haveto type their own tests, allowing less time for research and helping students, two department chairmensaid. . Because of the budget diet, Western will have to endure obsolete equipment and equipment inneed of repair. "I have a drawer full of equipment requests by the faculty that I can't fulfill," said RichardMayer, dean of the Huxley College of Environmental Studies. Funds don't exist to repair or replace acomputer the college has used for several years. Leaky roofs Lamer cited a hypothetical example ot anequipment problem. "The roof leaks and destroys the piano. It costs $2,000 to fix it. You do without thepiano." In the College of Arts and Sciences, 22 departments â€” some with greater needs than othersâ€” are competing for $50,000 for equipment purchase, replacement and repair. "We have so little moneyfor equipment," Davis said. "We have to pump it (much of the money) into computer technology â€”word processors and microcomputers." Pencils, books lacking Peter Elich, chairman of thepsychology department, said the department probably would get $2,000 for equipment. As much as$20,000 wouldn't be enough to bring the psychology department or any of the science departments up todate, Elich said. "There's scarcely enough money to handle material needs â€” pencils, books,periodicals, equipment," Elich said. To defray costs, the political science department now charges fourcents per page for copies of handouts. Meiner called the department's equipment budget "obsolete."The budget diet, however, could have been more severe. The College of Arts and Sciences â€” theuniversity's largest college with two-thirds of its programs â€” lost seven faculty positions this year. Itwas supposed to lose 14, but seven positions were saved by having faculty members who teach duringthe summer session not work during one quarter of the regular school year. But in June, the sevenpositions that had been spared will disappear and the college will have 14 fewer faculty members duringthe 1983-84 year than during 1981-82. This is the only school year the administration will allow summershifts to save positions. The budget cuts have hit small departments the most. In the College of Artsand Sciences, each department (regardless of its size) lost from one-half to one faculty position. Thebiology and home economics departments each lost one position. Thisyear the biology department has 16 full-time positions, meaning it had lost approximately 5 percent of its faculty. The home economics department, now with five positions, suffered approximately a 16 percent loss in faculty. "The smallerthe department, the more aggravated the cuts will be," Davis said. He noted that smaller departments(such as the journalism and speech departments) might have to be combined. After Nov. 1, thejournalism department no longer will have a full-time secretary. Larger departments are on a diet, too. In1983-84 the psychology department will have one and one-half fewer faculty positions than during 1981-82. "We'll have to drop small enrollment classes in specialty areas," Elich said. This year thedepartment dropped two seminar courses in child development and two graduate seminar classes.Western's growth took decades. Until recently, new programs and courses were common. Just 10 yearsago, the growth seemed to be unlimited. But for now, Western has to find ways to shrink with aminimum of harm to its programs. "Hope springs eternally," Davis said. He added, with a weak grin, "We never will see the golden days of the 1960s again." Acting University President James TalbotDepartments shuffled for fall By LORI McGRIFF The opening of the new South Academic Building setinto place a migration of college departments this summer that may leave some students wanderingthe halls in search of business, sociology and journalism classes. Betty Farnham of the spaceadministration office said the moves may leave students confused for awhile, but they will benefit inthe long run from the musical-chairs, approach. All departments of the College of Business andEconomics are in the South Academic Building and the speech pathology and audiology departmentsare on the ground floor. The journalism department moved from Garden Street Hall, to College Hall. TheFront now occupies the ground floor. Journalism classrooms and offices share the first and second floorswith the speech department. Student media offices, such as Klipsun, Western View and the KUGSnewsroom, are on the first floor. The third floor is reserved for speech (broadcasting) classrooms andoffices. The sociology department moved from the fifth floor of Amtzen Hall to the third floor. Theirvacated spaces will be occupied in part by the liberal studies department, which moved from the third floor of Miller Hall. The third floor of Miller Hall will be used for faculty research offices, visiting facultyoffices and an honors lounge. The faculty need the extra space, Farnham said. She cited pastproblems with finding space for visiting faculty and emeriti faculty. Garden Street Hall may be closedor torn down and the area used for a parking lot. Changes also took place in Old Main. Someadministrators were shuffled and administrative departments moved. Marvin Klein, dean of education, has relocated from Old Main 310 to Miller Hall 220E. The Old Main 300 office complex will houge generalservices, the business manager, vice president for business/financial affairs and purchasing. JamesDavis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has been relocated to Old Main 375 and Old Main 360will be used as a conference room The unpacking of boxes and placement of new names on doorsshould be completed within the first couple of weeks of classes, Farnham said. Budget cuts had a bigeffect on the summer moves. Professors and administrators, with some student help, had to packtheir belongings and sweep out their offices before moving to their new, freshly painted offices, Farnhamsaid. Past moves have been done by custodial workers with more help from professional movers. â€¢The shift of departments created a supply of refuse, such as these boxes discarded outside the SouthAcademic Building. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 17 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 17 Westerns future unclear continued from page l) hallowresources. "I wish I could say no, but I expect there vill be more," he said. The WSL and other highereducation-iriented groups are trying to oust anti-ducation legislators from Olympia this all. But with theNovember election luickly approaching Quinlan says expect ng a rejection of Republican policies to becure-all to Western's financial woes ould be a certain mistake. "Change won't come automatically just)ecause we have different people in Jower," Quinlan said. "How knowledge-ible legislators are to theneeds of higher ducation is the real key." Quinlan said that Western is "preparing tu dents to take onvery complex roles in ociety "and that must be made clear to oth politicians and the public. Western'simage may indeed need to be )ushed. As Registrar Gene Omey pointed gt;ut, Washington now fundshigher educa-ion very close to the lowest level in the lation. If the public doesn't reverse this rend, Omeysaid, the results could be lisastrous. Nevertheless, many leaders at Western express confidence that asmooth transition from a time of devastating budget cuts to a new beginning as a contemporaryliberal arts college can be completed. But, says Faculty Senate President William Sailors, "Eachdepartment is going to have to justify its existence. We have to manage our destiny a little bit instead ofust drifting through the cuts." Search goes on for Western's next leader By LESLIE NICHOLS Manyfacets of the campus are undergoing changes and the shakeup extends right to the top with the search for a new president underway. r Western's presidential search committee is scheduled to submit its choices for a ew leader to the Board of Trustees next week. The board then will tackle the task ofpicking a successor by December. Search committee members have narrowed the number ofapplicants to IS and next week will present to the trustees a list of four to seven candidates from whichwill emerge a replacement for former university President Paul Olscamp. - Olscamp left Western inJuly to become president of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The 15candidates were screened for certain qualifications including administrative experience; communication skills is\ dealing with faculty, students and boards; and experience in fund raising and working withlegislators, said Peter Elich, vice-chairman of the search committee. Members of the committee now arecontacting people in the candidates' communities, as well as faculty members, studentgovernment leaders and others in order to "get a variety of different points of view," Elich said. Describing the process as "fine tuning to zero in on people," search committee student representative DarcyRoenfeldt said the purpose of calls being made to the candidates' campuses is to get peer reaction tothe person and check on leadership style and rapport with students, staff and faculty. The finalists,chosen by the Board of Trustees, will come to Western separately some time during fall quarter,Roenfeldt said. Following final interviews the trustees are expected to select a new president and make* ah gt; announcement by Christmas vacatibh'tf not by Dec. 1, Roenfeldt said. y y Â§ L sa*d key tostudent fortunes PHOTO BY GARY LINDBERG By ELAYNE ANDERSON Despite student apathy andadmnistrative roadblocks, Central Washington University and the University of Washington joined theranks of the Washington Student Lobby this summer. Recent higher education cuts of almost 20percent and the largest tuition increases ever at one time prompted students to organize in the form ofthe WSL. The WSL still is in the planning stages, with many obstacles to be hurdled. .Its proponentsand organizers, however, are hopeful it will be ready for the upcoming legislative session with a full-timelobbyist. Although the goals of the WSL have not been clearly defined, its general aim is to protect thefinancial concerns of students and higher education, in regard to tuition increases and budget axing bylegislators. Mark Murphy, Western's Associated Students president, said the goals of the WSL aretwofold. The first is to educate and influence legislators to the needs of students and to persuade them to vote favorably toward higher education. Many legislators, Murphy said, do not realize the problemsfacing students today. "The don't see why we can't go out and get a part-time job and supportourselves," Murphy said. "In many cases, going to college today is not the same as when they went.They just don't understand the problems." The second job of the WSL will be to inform studens of whatis happening to higher education in Olympia by posting the voting records of legislators and keeping anupdated bulletin board outside the AS office in the Viking Union. Murphy urged students to call or writetheir legislators and vote for those who support student interests. "Student government has always triedto have an effect in Olympia, but without the students backing them it's difficult," Murphy said. "TheWSL wants to create a more politically aware student population, and 70-80,000 votes can make adifference. Former AS President Greg Sobel, who played a major role in organizing the WSL, termed it"simply a question of power." "Students as an unorganized group were vulnerable to budget cuts andtuition increases, which grew out of our impotence in the political arena," Sobel said. "If the legislatorswill not support student interests then the students will boot him or her out." The WSL actually beganorganizing last January, although the idea was discussed as early as the spring of 1980, Sobel said. The first stage was to get at least 50 percent of the student population at each four-year institution to signpetitions supporting the WSL. The boards of trustees or regents at each school then had to approve theWSL. Western ratifeid the WSL last spring leading the *way for It earlier looked like theUW might trashthe WSL, but now the lobby is moving along strongly. other schools. Eastern Washington University and The Evergreen State College are the only four-year institutions in Washington that have not ratified theWSL, having failed to complete their petitiqn drives. To ensure all signatures are valid, both schools must start over collecting signatures during fall registration. The WSL is supported solely by studentsassessing themselves $1 when paying tuition. Western will use a negative check-off system, in whichstudents not wanting to support the WSL merely mark the appropriate box on their fee billing cards.Students at Washington State University must request their dollar from the cashier if they do not want to support the WSL. The UW and Central have positive check-offs on their fee billing cards. The positivecheck-off system may cause funding problems for the WSL. Students may be less willing to exert theadded effort to donate $1, WSL organizers say. Murphy said although he would like to see at least 70percent â€¢ of the student population support the WSL with their dollars, he said 40-50 percent would be more realistic. "Times are tight," Murphy said. "I don't know how many students realize the importanceof the WSL, but I hope all who signed the petitions will donate $1." Because of the uncertainty of theamount of funding the WSL will receive, a few answers still are pending such as the size of its Olympiastaff. Murphy said petitions may have to be combined, but no decision has been made. Each schoolthat ratifies the WSL will have its own local chapter, which will send representatives to the statechapter. Although a National Student Lobby exists, the WSL has no plans to join, Murphy said.Nominations for local board members will be made in an open meeting Oct. 6, and voting will take placeOct. 13. All students who assess themselves $1 automatically become members of the WSL. TheWSL is not without potential problems. Thomas Quinlan, Western's vice president for student affairs,said he is concerned each institution and student will have their own interests, which may becounterproductive to the WSL's overall goals. Quinlan also expressed concern the WSL would try torepresent too many separate issues. "The concern I have is they will take on too much and neutralizethe impact they have," Quinlan said. Quinlan also warned that to be effective the WSL must do morethan merely say they support an issue, they must produce facts. "It is tedious research, but you need to have evidence to show legislators why they should support higher education," Quinlan said. Pointingout that Western's Board of Trustees supported the WSL from the onset, Quinlan said he sees the WSL as positive and having potential. "It (WSL) can make legislators more responsive to students andhighlight the interest and accessibility or inaccessibility of higher education," Quinlan said. The WSLalso will help educate students that a decision will be made whether they are a part of making thedecision or not Quinlan said. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 18 ---------- (T Western Front Tuesday, September 21,13 ' Western computers do a lot more besides calculationsBy BARBARA SCABAROZI "Enter your student number," commands the computer terminal.

But without knowing what passageways to use or where to find the referencesection, that knowledge may seem inaccessible. Students wanting to acquaint themselves withresearch materials and selections offered can take a tour, conducted during the second week ofclasses. One-hour tours will be offered at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday next week Thelibrary has two faces, old and new. The double-arched north entrance still looks like it did in 1928, whenthe first Washington State Normal School students pushed through the wrought iron doors. Inside theentrance a portrait of Mabel Zoe Wilson, the first librarian and for whom the library is named, watchesover the electrical detection system. On the first floor are card catalogs, a reference area, reservebook room and circulation desk. Student identification cards, which will be needed to check outbooks, can be picked up in late September. Undergraduates have a two . week borrowing privilege;graduate students one quarter. Students may Tenew a book as many times as they want untilsomeone else requests it. Students should be careful to watch due dates, because fines are chargedfor overdue books. Western is one of the few automated university library systems in the PacificNorthwest, said Jan Nichols, reference technician and tour guide. Before trekking off to the stacks,students can check a computer print-out of books in circulation to find out if a book has been checkedout, when it is due and if it is being mended or is lost. Books not available at-Westem may be borrowedfrom other libraries through inter-library loan. The new student ascending the central stone staircasefinds what seems to be the second floor labeled "third" and no apparent way to go higher. This isbecause the central part of the building is the original library and the additions required separatestaircases and elevators. Additions to the library were built in 1962 and 1972. The smaller east wing has four floors and the west wing has five. From its 800-book beginning in 1898, the library collection hasincreased to over a half-million volumes. The additions, with modern ceiling heights, are joined to the old library, which-has a second-floor ceiling height of 33 feet. The attempt to keep the original building intact has resulted in problems getting from one wing to another. Only the first and third floors have centralareas. Nichols said she advises new students to avoid confusion by using the east or west stairs orelavators at first, rather than the stone staircase. On the first floor in the east wing is the periodicalreading room, where current periodicals and newspapers are displayed. Bound periodicals are here andin the east basement. The education library and reference annex are on 2-west and a children'scollection is on 2-east. The third floor has the literature collection. Science periodicals are on 4- west. The government documents collection, which includes U.S., Washington State and Canadiangovernment publications of many kinds, historical and current, is on 4-west. Getting to the fifth floor isa real trick The easiest way is from the first floor. Only one elevator and stairway connect to the fifthfloor, those on the south side in back of the circulation desk The Special Collections Department on the fifth floor contains university archives, rare books and the library media center, which provides aplace for listening to records, tapes and cassettes and for viewing filmstrips.

By MITCH EVICH It is a late-summer ritual performed at hundreds of other colleges, and thescenes are conspicuously uniform. Young men clad in synthetic armor drive up and down a playing fieldunder a relentless morning sun. Shouts of feigned pleasure arising in the midst of grueling toil. The shrillshriek of a whistle is followed by the dull thud of helmets clashing. It is, of course, the prelude to another season of college football, an institution that has grown as venerable as it has profitable. Successfulbig-time teams draw in hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars in revenue. Other schools, smaller in size but not in enthusiasm, have cultivated the sport into a stellar source of campus pride. A visitor to Western's football camp during the long days of early September would have found things quitedifferent here. The football team is in danger of extinction. A protracted political struggle, a withering offinancial resources, and a 17-game losing streak have joined forces to put an unbreakable strangleholdon the program. The latest and possibly most serious damage came in the form of a referendumapproved by 54 percent of voting students last May, calling for an end to the use of student fees tosupport football. Political stormclouds The measure, which would effectively eliminate the sport ifimplemented, carries no binding authority and is technically nothing more than a yardstick of studentopinion. Its symbolic.importance, however, has not gone undetected. Players and coaches, althoughthey do not particularly enjoy discussing it, know the implications are grave. But while politicalstormclouds line up on this fall's horizon like so many nationally-ranked opponents, team members arekeeping their attention focused solely on the battles they have been trained to fightâ€”those that takeplace between the chalk lines of a football field. And despite a losing streak which stretches back toOctober 1980, and a spring recruiting harvest severely blighted by news of the referendum, attitudesamong the 60 or so players on this year's roster remain upbeat, a tribute to resiliency if nothing else.Optimism misleading . "One thing for sure, there's a lot more unity than last year," says sophomore AlCuaron, a former linebacker struggling to make the shift to defensive end. "Everybody's talkingeverybody's together." "It's definitely better," adds quarterback Eric Ummel. "A lot of it is due to atransition of leadership. I think we have a lot of guys with real positive characters." Despite surfaceoptimism, the bitterness left by the referendum vote and other political problems is easy to detect."Every spring they bring out something about how they're going to drop the program, and theregoes our recruiting year," laments all-star wide receiver Bill Handy. "We've got good people here, but you need tobring in new ones. You need help." When Handy was recruited in 1978 following his senior year atNooksack Valley high school, Western still could claim to field a competitive ballclub. Only one yearearlier, the Vikings had made it to the Kingdome for a bowl game with powerful Pacific LutheranUniversity. A year before that, Western won the conference championship. During Handy s years here,though, things have steadily deteriorated. Although the squad won a respectable four of nine games in1979, 1980 proved disastrous, producing one outright victory, and one by forfeit. 'I couldn't believe it.'Handy also has seen student dissatisfaction with the program interfere with the club's ability toprosper, an experience he perhaps politely terms "very frustrating." "I couldn't believe it," said Handy, his voice trembling slightly as he recalled the moment he learned of the election returns. "I thought I wasgoing to have to go somewhere else and play my senior year." Handy, like so many other Westernplayers, became a victim of a battle whose first nascent stirrings took place several years before.Inexorable forcesâ€”political, economic and demographicâ€”have washed over Western in recent years, and they have wreaked their share of havoc. The current crisis began most visibly in April 1980, whenthen-University President Paul Olscamp, reacting to the economic realities of spiraling inflation, toldWestern's board of trustees "some or all intercollegiate athletics" might need to be eliminated.Olscamp appointed a task force, which reported back to him in January the following year. Then thingsgot hot. Task force members initially recommended terminating football, but Olscamp convinced themto exempt it from the other six sports destined for the budgetary chopping-block Football was saved.Baseball, wrestling, golf, field hockey, and men's and women's tennis were not. The Associated Students Board of Directors, led by President Greg Sobel, were outraged. A presidential debate Sobel contended that by circumventing the task force and applying pressure to the trustees to accept his proposalsupporting football, Olscamp violated state law. Sports at Western are almost solely supported throughstudent Service and Activity fees, and therefore, Sobel argued, subject to student control. The issue,initially designed to elucidate the future of interscholastic sports at Western, suddenly shifted to aquestion of student versus administrative powers. The AS Board, flexing its own muscles, defiantlymoved to terminate football, and a complex struggle ensued. In the end, Sobel lost. The trustees'decision, providing football with a five-year mandate, remained standing. Off-field problems wereforgotten temporarily, as Western entered a season that most players probably would not want toremember. But while the ballclub completed perhaps its worst season in history, "Every spring theybring out something about how they're going to drop the program, and there goes the recruiting year.'â€”wide receiver Bill Handy future turmoil bubbled imperceptibly beneath the surface. On April 7 of thisyear, the issue erupted anew. Dan Vossen, a senior political science major, approached the Service and Activity Fee Split Committee with a succinct but explosive request: terminate varsity football atWestern. Rather than focus on budgetary problems, Vossen based his request on football'spotential for injury, most tragically illustrated by the case of Chris Thompson, a Seattle High Schoolplayer paralyzed during a game in 1976. Thompson won a $6.4 million lawsuit last February againstthe Seattle school board. Vossen backed out But when Vossen presented his plan, already filed as aninitiative in the upcoming student election, to a sub-committee of student-fee funding, he ran into theconsiderable opposition ofViking Head Coach Boyde Long. The 13-year mentor was more than willingto provide Vossen with a lesson in preventive medicine. "I had a talk with him about what we havedone over the years to prevent injuries," Long recalled recently. "He thought about it, and then hecalled me at home, and said he had decided to drop (the initiative." Vossen's change of heart, however,did not insure the initiative's removal. After nearly 500 students had signed petitions supporting theproposal, the AS Board voted unanimously to keep it on the ballot as a referendum. Ironically, Sobel asAS president again, became the spokesman for anti-football interests. This time he would not come outon the losing side. Doorbell effort failed With election day fast approaching, the football team in earlyMay staged a last-ditch effort to avert a defeat at the polls. For three evenings, football players went door-to- door among residence halls, defending their right to play football and refuting what they saw asinaccurate attacks against the size of football's budget. (One of the main arguments to drop the program was based on its high cost-per-participant, although football proponents argued costs werecomparatively low compared to other extracurricular activities.) The political efforts failed. Of theapproximately 2,400 students who voted, 1,300 supported the referendum. The close vote evokedcriticism from some observers who asserted the team did not do enough to help its own cause, but Longand Assistant Coach Rich Brudwick flatly reject such arguments. "I don't know if we could have won it,"said Brudwick a 270-pound former Viking offensive tackle. "But I don't think a football team should even get into a political battle. You shouldn't have to go door to door to try to get somebody to vote for yourprogram." Long put it more succinctly: "A football team should not be involved in politics." At Western,however, the football team is very much involved in politics, whether its members like it or not. And thestruggles are far from over. With diminishing student monies resulting from decreased enrollment, allstudent-supported programs will be under scrutiny by the S A fee split committee this fall. And inthose and other battles in the months ahead, the fate of varsity football at Western will be determined.Next: a look at what must be done if the program is to survive. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 22 ---------- 22 Western Front Tuesday, September 21,1982 Vikes seasoned withNBA: Westphal new cage coachBy SCOTT FISK The freshly engraved brass nameplate already is placed on the basketball coach'soffice door in Carver Gymnasium. An all-too-familiar back-to-school, moving-in scene is going on insidethe small two-desk compartment: carefully marked boxes and stacked in piles; bare walls, awaiting thepersonal touch of mementos collected over the years; soon-to-be-filled shelves that still have an outlinein dust of books belonging to the former resident. Western's newly appointed head basketball coach, Bill Westphal (brother Paul is the former Seattle SuperSonic star currently playing for the New YorkKnicks), takes a seat in his desk chair, which barely accommodates his outstretched legs. The 6-6Westphal, like his brother, is a former standout player at the University of Southern California Despitethe somewhat chaotic surroundings, the 36-year-old Westphal is relaxed and seemingly at home inhis new office. For the past two years, Westphal was the assistant coach with the financiallystruggling San Diego Clippers of the National Basketball Association. After owner Donald Sterling fired15 of 22 people from the organization to cut costs, Westphal got the pink slip. "There were other jobs(in the NBA) I could have looked at, but getting back to a college program really appealed to me," hesaid. "Timing was a major factor because I found out about the opening (at Western) shortly after I wasfired." Some might see his acceptance of the vacated coaching job at Western as a step down from the . NBA For Westphal it is an opportunity, in his estimation, to return to a familiar small collegeatmosphere. He coached for seven seasons at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif, which hasan enrollment of 2,000. "I like the atmosphere of a smaller campus," Westphal said. "After I made theinquiry (the position became available July 15 when former coach Denny Huston accepted an assistantcoach position at the University of Wyoming), the appeal began to grow more and more with me." Theselection committee comprised of Athletic Director Boyde Long, Women's Athletic Director and HeadWomen's Basketball Coach Lynda Goodrich, Sports Information Director Paul Madison andCommittee Chairman and Registrar Eugene Omey played a major role in luring Westphal. "I knew Icould work easily with them," Westphal said. "I wouldn't have come if I didn't like the people representing the school. It was a very relaxing situation." "It's (Bellingham) everything I thought it would be. I. wasencouraged byalot of different people who told me just how good an opportunity coaching at Westerncould be." Born in New York and living in California for the past 35 years, Westphal brings to theNorthwest an impressive list of credentials. He: â€”averaged 22 points as a senior at Aviation HighSchool (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) It's (Bellingham) everything I thought it would be. I was encouragedby a lot of different people who told me just how good an opportunity coaching at Western could be.' â€”played forward at USC, where he was named the Trojans Most Improved Player in 1965 â€”was voted most Inspirational Player in 1966 â€”compiled an overall record of 111-77 as head coach atOccidental College and 64-20 mark in conference play â€”won three conference championships(1975, 1976, 1980) â€”was named National Association of Basketball Coaches District VI Coach ofthe Year in 1976 and again in 1980. â€”was-an assistant coach with the San Diego Clippers of the NBAunder head coach Paul Silas for two years. Westphal steps into a program, which thanks to the one-year effort by Denny Huston, bounced from a 4-21 record to finish 13-12 last season, made the playoffsand averaged 2,500 home game ' attendance last season. "It's great to come into a program alreadystepping in the right direction," Westphal said. "Denny did a lot to get it going, it will make it that mucheasier for me to continue improving it." Westphal pegs himself as a disciple of the John Woodenphilosophy â€” fast break at every opportunity, man-to-man defense and impenetrable presses."The pro game also will definitely influence my decision to integrate it (pro-style ball) into thisprogram," Westphal said. "But I'm undecided as of yet precisely what type of ball we'll play. Itdepends on the first month with the players. It will definitely be fast-paced and exciting style ball."Westphal will get his first look at Western's returning players and new recruits in a conditioning classhe wilj teach during fall quarter. Judging from what Westphal has planned for practices, theconditioning class is essential for prospective players. "Usually one-third or sometimes one-half ofpractice will be fast-break drills," Westphal said. "They will need to be in shape for the fast-tempo styleof ball." Westphal's plans for continu- Bill Westphal, Western's newly appointed basketball coach, sayshe is here to stay and plans on building a championship program. is to share a prestigious coaching job. ing to build the program by recruiting, he said, will not be hampered by the nonscholarship status ofWestern athletics. "It's a handicap, but I'm in agreement that it is another set of headaches when youstart buying players," Westphal said. "It can be overcome by having a good place to play (referring to his goal of filling Carver Gym this season) and a winning record." "Also having a name coach will attractplayers," Westphal said matter-of-factly. Occidental also is a non-scholarship college. Westphal said along-time dream he shares with his brother Paul and close friend John Block "We've always talked about someday coaching together at a major college such as USC or in the NBA," Westphal said. "I'd jumpat such an opportunity, but the likelihood of it happening in the near future is highly unlikely." .."It's like putting the pieces together of a puzzle," Westphal said. "In a way I'm writing my own adventure storyand it's rewarding to work with players who are attending school for academic as well as athleticpurposes." Alumni not nostalgic jocks after all I have seen too many Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis moviesthat portray the typical alumnus as the nostalgic jock who, at the age of 50, still buys season tickets for seats in the glee club section for every athletic event and can sing the alma mater without the aid of theprinted lyrics on the back of the program. I was pleased to learn that the Alumni Association is balanced with a mixture of academic and athletic achievement. And that the members are not a lot of nostalgic remnants of Western's past but simply people who are concerned with the future of higher education.. The president of the association this year is a graduate student at Gonzaga and next year'spresident is an elementary school teacher. These hardly fit the category of the Lewis or Martin anticsI've seen. Steven Inge, director of the Alumni Association, said many graduates of Western becomemembers of the association because they feel a "sense of indebtedness" and some join for the chanceto visit old friends. Whatever the reason, these people add a cohesion to higher education. Twenty-fiveboard members of the Alumni Association, residing anywhere from Vancouver, B.C. to Salem, Ore.,constitute a nonprofit organization. These people have the influence to sway legislators to vote infavor of colleges in Washington. Inge said some legislators have reportecrthat "when it came time tovote on an issue, they often remembered what a constituent of theirs had said and felt it was influentialin their decision." Western receives financial support as well as political. Ten percent of the association's funds go toward scholarships and a hefty amount each year is allotted for grants to be awarded to thelibrary, career planning, the theater department or whatever organization may need assistance^ â€¢â€¢ Amidst the deeds the alumni endow upon Western, the members devote their time to rewardingthemselves. The association has planned wine tasting parties at St. Michele and has treated itsmembers to a gourmet dinner. The association also is meant to provide an opportunity for alumni toreminisce. I've decided through the sports section to allow some of Western's top alumni athletes toreflect on their victories and to mourn their losses. To speak of a group of people as a whole can neverserve as an adequate description. The individual's personal experiences tend to enlighten far morethan an impersonal sketch.

The season opener for both clubs, played on a dry Indiansummer evening, was in PLU's back pocket after the Lutes mounted a 20-0 lead six seconds into thesecond quarter. Ranked 6th nationally in the NAIA Division II pre-season poll, the Lutes displayedoffensive execution, which did not make the Vikings look bad â€” merely outplayed by a superior foe.The Lutes rushed for 178 yards in the first half while the Vikings managed eight. If a candle can be put inthe window of the Vikings' dim performance, it has to be the "Ummel-Handy" connection. QuarterbackEric Ummel and fourth year standout receiver Bill Handy connected for 100 yards and the lone Westerntouchdown. But had it not been for an illegal procedure call during Western's second possession,the duo could have tacked an 87-yard painfully called back touchdown pass to their total. The Vikings'scoring drive, which took seven plays for 79 yards, was Ummel- Handy all the way except for two of theyards. It was during this drive that Ummel displayed the accuracy of his slingshot arm. Umrriel,plagued by injuries his first two seasons, may have the potential to throw past his 634-yard freshmanmark. Ummel completed nine of 23 passes for ir51 yards, 10 yards short of Western's total offense. The seore, 20-7, looked like it would remain frozen until the Ijalf.ended. Western's defense stopped-PI;U;i gt;n fourth and' one, then intercepted on "PLU's' next possession. ' Viking running back JohnLocker cuts upfield. the kill. After Western failed to go anywhere with the ball, PLU took the punt with4:05 remaining and went for one last drive. With 23 seconds remaining halfback Rob Spear ran aroundleft end for a one-yard touchdown run to finish the half 26-7. The Viking defense displayed good gangtackling technique, however, with plenty of hard sticks, unlike past seasons. Unfortunately, theaggressive defense usually came after Lute running backs Rob Spear, Nick Brossoit and Jeff Fohralready had gained first downs. The PLU trio combined for 259 of the 357 total rushing yards for thegame. PLU gained 31 first downs to Western's five. Typical of most season openers, the second halfbecame a defensive battle, with neither team scoring during the third .quarter. -,.--â€¢ V ..â€¢--, gt; i ^ 'The Vikings* failed to t:omplete a drive after crossing the fifty yard line for the Pacific Lutheran Universitydefensive tackle Curt Christiansen (78) closes in for second time. The rest of the quarter was spentpunting from their own 20 yard line. By the end of the third quarter many of the estimated 2,000 fans inattendance began to leave. The Lutes scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter on sharplyexecuted drives to raise the score to 39-7. Western has not won a season opener since 1971 when itdefeated Western Oregon.

The varsity volleyball team played against a tenacious alumnisquad on Sept. 10 in Carver Gym. The original plan was to play two out of three games for a win, but the alumni team, sprinkled with a conglomerate of past Viking talent, opted to play a few more gameswith the varsity team. The alumni team had two all-region players from recent years, one of the bestsetters in West-em's history, and the wife of a coach here at Western. These women and a few otherswarmed up only a half hour before taking on the varsity team. The varsity team has been practicingsince Aug. 30. Only one starter and three other players returned this year, leaving Coach Paul Clinton"clueless" as to the team's future. Clinton said it would be unfair to even attempt to predict the team'ssuccess because he "has nothing to go on." Jackie Nelson, this year's team captain, and Sherri McKeeare the only two â€¢players Clinton has seen in game performance. Because fewer players j returned,Clinton reduced his team by five members. The team has nine players instead of 14, the size of theteam last year. Clinton said it will take the team about t"\ gt; matches to get organized with the gamepatterns. "Once they're organized," said Clinton, "the team members will be able to play their basicskills." "Right now, they're a young team." Last year, the volleyball team competed in the Association of Interscholastic Athletics for Women, but the association has since been canceled. The team hasmoved to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The men's teams always havecompeted in the NAIA, thus deciding the change-over for the women. One of the alumni playersdescribed the Vikings' season: "It's hard to tell how the team will doâ€”both with the team being fairlynew and some of the teams-they'll compete against are unexplored by this team. "There's no way topredict." IF SCHOOL HAS TOU OUT ON A LIMB... RENT TOUR FURNITURE! RENT THREE ROOMSFROM '28.50 PER MONTH WITH PURCHASE OPTION.

The film is not rated. When was the last time you rooted for the Germans in a war movie? Billed as "the otherside of World War Two," the German-made "Das Boot" is an enlightening experience to a generationwhose only previous picture of the German struggle comes in the form of U.S. war time propaganda films and "Hogans Heroes." "Das Boot" is hardly propaganda material, its characters are neither banalparodies or flag waving super heroes. The story of a U-boat crew fighting a losing battle to the British inthe Atlatic is engrossing and compelling, never moralistic or emphatic. Even at two and one-half hours,the film retains an exhausting intensity. "Das Boot" is magnificently filmed, capturing the con-finedness of 43 men trying to survive in the small submarine/boat. The battle footages of encounters KlausWennemann plays the chief engineer, Jurgen Prochnow stars as the U-boat captain and HerbertGronemeyer portrays the war correspondent who serve aboard a German U-boat in 'Das Boot.' withBritish destroyers are The most amazing aspect of audience into another man's stunning. the film is theway it draws the struggle. The viewer at various times feels claustrophobic, jubilant, saddened andalways tense. The result is a draining experience. The action, far from the usual war film fare, is neverpredictable. The plot takes enough twists to keep the viewer as unnerved as the German seamen. Thefilm is subtitled, which doesn't distract from the plot or charecters. The subtitles are easy to read and the German language adds authenticity to the picture. The characters convey the anguish, loneliness andfright of young men with the odds against themâ€”the nationalistic, "overgrown Hitler Youth leader"who awakens to the truth behind the propaganda; the German youth secretly engaged to his pregnantFrench girlfriend; and the journalist who learns the meaning of fear and destiny. The cast is uniformlysuperb, with standout performances by Herbert Gronemeyer as Lieutenant Werner and JurgenProchnow as the U-boat captain. "Das Boot," the film that made big waves in its native Germany, isbound to hit home as a strong anti-war statement, as well as a portrayal of universal struggles. The Who turn full circle on 'It's Hard' By MALCOLM LAWRENCE The Who have accomplished the impossible.Behind the back of an audience that had written them off as well as the Rolling Stones two years ago,the band has released an album just as good, if not better than,' the classic album "Who's Next." Byrevitalizing the music into a defiant blend of the thundering Who of the past with a streamlined,synthesizer-laced Who of the present to take on the future, the band has found the zealous bite itoriginally had. "It's Hard" draws many comparisons to "Who's Next" because both albums share thesame kind of excitement of a world dynamically involved with the present, but still holding onto the past.Lyrically, and in many ways musically, a feeling of evolution weaves through the songs, which arebalanced by throwaway references to God that sound trivial but keep the strength and the motivation ofthe album tightly wound. The key to this is, of course, Pete Townshend, the once and future sentinel ofrock and roll, who has finally found happiness in his family, life and music. Although world affairs havegiven the 37- year-old guitarist enough ambition to continue writing songs, Townshend has" decided to accept the fact he is getting old and takes the place of the first father of rock gracefully. Awell of advicefor both young and used-to- be-young springs from the album in a curt, but not rude style with the intentto regroup the rats now that "the piper has been found." The twelve songs that comprise "It's Hard" spinoff the vinyl fast and confident, tying together many of the loose ends that have been left for so long. Bydoing so, the band has regained its energy into a cohesive, coherent whole, which eluded it throughout the 1970s. "Athena" heralds the opening of the album. A truly happy, effervescent Who song, perhapsthe first since "Going Mobile." John Entwistle finally has managed to give his horns a rich tone without sounding brash, and uses them throughout the album with the resonant style introduced on"Quadrophenia." The tacked on lyric "she's a bomb" distinctly sounds like "she's a whore" whichwould support the theory that Townshend has fused madonna and whore into a contemporary lady,sharing the values and vices of life with one woman rather than two. Of course, maybe it is saying "she'sa bomb," and comparing the essence of life to the substance of a stereo-typical- sex symbol: beautiful,but empty. Take your pick. "Cooks County and "Eminence Front" share similarities topically, but not atall musically. The former, reducing Clash rhetoric to the phrase "People are suffering," and by etchingthe echoed beat onto the lyrics, moves grudgingly slow like the breadline it evokes. The latter drifts alilting synthesizer on top of a behemoth beat that fully illustrates what the
