It fronts upon a narrow bookstall street that now and then apes the noises flooding in through the transcept alleys from the great competitor. At 9 o'clock every week day morning of the year—except four— the high, htige iron gates part and swing slowly open to the early readers. The creaking noise of the gates and the hurrying feet over the cobbled court disturb the quiet cooing of the numberless pigeons that take their late breakfast on the walks and steps. Some of the readers stop and make peace by adding a crumb to the frugal meal and then stand watching the pacified ones wind their flight to the frieze above to bask in the sun. The energetic readers hurry at once across the hallway and through the narrow passage into the reading room or into the hall of MMS; some loiter to chat; others examine a curio or two before beginning work. The Museum is the sepulcher of the past—there lies Cleopatra and many of her Ptolemy and Pharaoh predecessors; a tomb of by-gone days-there hang the robes of an Egyptian princess and the deckings of an American chief. Here in this Walhalla, the common meeting ground of the great and the good, is assembled the sculptured masterpieces of Greece and Rome, the manuscript literature that won the applause ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [12] ---------- of the Athenians, the carved monoliths that awed the subjects of Persia. The dry atmosphere of the spacious halls and the peculiar silence that reigns everywhere imbues one with a sense of finiteness that strives to break the bond of the present and fly to intimacy with the past. Turning one's glance to the west it meets the fixed, stony gaze of a Roman emporor, who, by this fixedness., seems to invite a closer acquaintance with himself and his fellow Caesars. There at the head of this long line of rulers stands the first of the blood. Complacency marks the whole appearance, confidence in every feature, a mouth to command and a jaw to execute—Caesar. The child Augustus beside the bust of his golden days when the weight of the world's rule wrinkled his brow and the songs of Ovid and Horace wrote tenderness on his lips. A few steps beyond and one is in the insolent presence of the fiddle-ing master of Roman tortures. Behind that broad, high brow was engendered the Christian persecutions; those are the eyes that looked pleasantly upon his burning subjects; the great nose that sniffed at the wine from every clime; the protruding, sensous lips that sang songs at the burning of Rome and that gave orders for the martyrdom of Paul—Nero. With pleasure one turns from this terrible Roman to the grandest Greek a few steps away. Old Homer—sitting high on his pedestal— all tarnished and soiled, except for the restored nose and an ear-lobe, directs his sight-les eyes upward over the victors of the Olympian games and sees in his mind's heaven the campaigns of the Trojan war, and opens his lips to tell to the listening viewer the events of that one great day. Through a door a black object in the center of an adjoining room rouses the curiosity —and curiosity must be satisfied. There on a low stand tilted like a school boy's desk lies the Rosetta stone. At this desk the world Of today learned to spell the words of Egypt, to write in the language of Cleopatra, and to number out the hosts of the Pharaohs. The dark basalt seems blackened by the murky sleeves of this school boy in the learning of his lesson of the past, and even the base seems scratched by the restless feet as the plodding brain, conning ancient lore, seeks to keep pace with the physical energy of the modern today. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [13] ---------- In returning, with another glimpse of this quaint text-book, another glance at the Greek bard, and a passing view of ambitious Caesar and the terrible Nero, one is filled with the spirit of the then, and passes by the statue of Mracus Aurelius, whose Danubian conquests seem now in progress, by the bust of Cleopatra whose sad life ended but yesterday, by the statue of Demosthenes whose crooked mouth is still telling over the Phillips of the day before. Feeling oblivious that the sun is shining and allowing habit to care for thr nonce, one enters the great reading room under the dome one foot larger than that of Saint Peter's at Rome, there to draw from the 20,000 reference books or from the 2,000 volumes of catalogues to draw upon the 2,000,000 volumes lines in seserve upon forty miles of shelving. J. N. BOWMAN. A Time for THanksgiving The year was 1790, the time near Thanksgiving. The evening was chill and as Mr. Oliver entered the little, low room where his wife and two daughters were preparing the evening meal the mental atmosphere fell perceptibly. It was easy to see when things had gone wrong with "father," who a follower of the stern Puritan, kept his temper in "wholesome restraint," but in the doing contrived to make his immediate surroundings distinctly unpleasant. The simple, almost frugal meal was nearly over when Mr. Oliver spoke. "We will speak no more of John. He is no longer a nephew of mine; and," fixing a stern eye on Elizabeth, "no more a cousin of yours." Again there was silence while Mrs. Oliver waited in gentle impatience and the girls in silent indignation for an explanation. "In all the years I can remember, I have never heard of an Oliver being a thief. It is left for John who goes from ungodly pranks to thievery, to so disgrace the family. Last night after the festival at the Doctor's he stole the huge silver tankard. As I said," he added on rising from the table, "we will say nothing about this matter." Elizabeth said nothing, but quietly busied ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [14] ---------- herself about the evening's work apparently thinking no more of the matter and disregarding the furtive glances cast at her by her mother. Mrs. Oliver had fully expected an outburst from Elizabeth, but the girl surprised her by her calm indifference, still there was no telling what might happen. Elizabeth "took after" her father. On the surface all was quiet; Elizabeth starting the next afternoon to carry a jar of preserves to old Mrs. Ed-kins was not unusual, nor was her mother's usual caution to be back in an hour, out of the ordinary. Elizabeth delivered the preserves and left with almost curt abruptness. Taking all the "short cuts," she soon arrived at the little village jail and demanded to see her cousin. After some parley her demand was granted, and Elizabeth stood face to face with her cousin who had disgraced the Oliver family, and asked shortly: "John, did you do it?" "Indeed no, Betty," was the firm reply. "Then what made them say so, and how long will you have to stay here?" The young fellow laughed shortly. "They are brilliant, Betty. Some one saw me just after the party with a big bundle and shortly after the tankard was found missing, so of course I stole it. I had a package. It wasn't the tankard; but they wouldn't take my word as an Oliver for my honesty, so here I am and they shall suffer for it." "Indeed they shall," said Betty, warmly, "I'm going right over to Dr. Bennett's and just order them to let you out." John did not see the humor in her angry words and slowly answered. "It would do no good, Betty, they would only laugh. Does your father know thaat you are here?" "No." "Won't you get into trouble when you get home?" "Oh, I shall have a chapter, I suppose. I wish father didn't think I was such a baby. I'm not a baby any longer, am I, John?" "No," he answered, gravely. "Why, let me see, you are almost fifteen, aren't you, Betty?" Betty nodded. "Good bye," she said, "I must hurry." Out of doors Betty's courage almost .failed her. Dr. Bennett was very stern, although ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [15] ---------- she knew that he unbent at times and hex heart beat faster when she thought of the possibility of his refusing to free her cousin. But she had not gone far when, hearing a phaeton approaching, she looked up and saw Dr. Bennett himself. "Why," he cried, "here is little Betty Oliver. I was just going to see your cousin." "And I," returned Betty, "was coming to tell you to let him out." The doctor laughed. "Well, John didn't take the tankard." "Of course not," put in Betty, "Last we saw of it, it was on the sideboard, and then it disappeared. Alice went home with her aunt and just before she left she sleepily murmured something about the pretty, big dish not being safe. Well, half an hour ago her aunt brought her home and the little shaver went to the clothes-chest and dragged out the tankard. She had hid it, aided by Nellie; for little six-year-old girls they have made a lot of mischief." In a short time both Betty and John were hurrying towards their respective homes. Betty with a trembling heart, in spite of her good news; she had disobeyed her father's command. Her father met her at the gate. "Elizabeth," he said sternly, his whole manner showing his displeasure, "I want no explanation of your disobedience—not a word. You may learn the twenty-first chapter of Matthew." And Elizabeth, knowing that the news of John's innocence would mitigate her punishment and delight her father above all else, took a peculiar pleasure in implicit obedience. In the house the "parson," who had "dropped" in, was catechising seven-year-old Agatha. He greeted Elizabeth as she entered, and beamed upon her as. she took the Bible from the mantel in the kitchen, Mr. Oliver consulted his wife. "Perhaps," he said, "the lass had best do without her supper." His wife glanced toward the other room. "The parson?" she said. Better let a needed punishment slip by than show their lack of parental authority in the case of Betty proving rebellious, as she was very apt to do if so disgraced before the parson. So Betty got her supper. The minister was saying grace. "As the day of Thanksgiving draws near, cause us to ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [16] ---------- be truly thankful." He prayed on, and Elizabeth with her little brown head devoutly bowed did not hear, for her tumultous heart was fairly singing with repressed joy because her favorite cousin was not disgraced. Which was the more thankful of the two? Between you and me, it wasn't the minister. By 'o8. A Sunset on the Bay Shimmering waters flecked by crested wavelet, On high; a canopy, violet, rose and gold, A burnished gleaming trail across the bay And shadows lengthening into night. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [17] ---------- Che normal messenger Published Monthly By the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL WHATCOM, WASHINGTON w K m ^ S , :06 } - • BUSINESS MANAGERS.

JO The "Messenger" wishes every one a happy vacation and a good appetite for the Thanksgiving turkey. One of the signs of a live school is a live interest in something lively. One of the best signs, at the Normal is the enthusiasm with which the boys have taken up athletics so early in the year. The wise tell us the best qualities of man are shown when he is contesting against forces which threaten to overpower him. So some lively contests on the athletic field will develop more patriotism among both the boys and the girls than anything else possibly can. Girls, don't let the boys be the only champions of the W.

"Once a Kulshan always a Kulshan.'" The Kulshans have also their share of new members, among these new members is a large number of strong workers. It is the desire of this society to bring its work to a higher standard than ever before. What a puckering of foreheads and elongated mouth parts you fould have seen if you had looked in at the Alcotts one Friday. A society poet was to be chosen and the decision to be made in favor of the one who produced the best poem. This was no small task, for the room was full of talent and each soul hungered for the position. At the given signal after fifteen minutes' work, pencils were quiet, and papers were collected, read, and judged amid loud applause and great thumping of hearts. We submit two. The first and best was written by our literary genius, Miss Henderson, The second by one who needs no introduction to the Whatcom public, Minnie Shumway. Others were highly commended and will be spread on the minutes of the Society for the authors. to gaze blissfully upon at their leisure. The Alcotts. Who are the girls that work? The Alcotts. Who never will a duty shirk ? The Alcotts. But with song and smile the hours beguile Or with mirth sublime or with jingling reyme, The Alcotts, The Alcotts every time. The Utopians are more fortunate than the other societies in having two such excellent critics as Mr. Wilson and Miss Hogle. At their home on Rose street, the seventeenth, Professor and Mrs. Wilson entertained ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [19] ---------- the "Utopian girls." At eight o'clock the girls began to arrive in twos and threes and from then until after ten lasted a round of merriment calculated to bring a cheery smale to every Nestor's face. Ask one of the Utopians if she enjoyed herself and this will be your answer, "Oh, I had just the best time." MY DOUBLE QUICK POEM. I'm going to write And there'll be a fight, If I don't win. I don't like to write, But I do love to fight, And that's a sin. So, Judges, act wise And give this the prize Or you'll regret That you ever met me Or my fine poetry In this contest. L o c a l s Three new teachers were added to the faculty this year. Miss Hays attended the institute at Seattle during institute week there. Dr. Mathes, Miss Bratton, and Mr. Epley took part in the program at the institute. A former student, Miss Rebecca Ann Fowler, was married in Seattle, Oct. 8, 1903 to Mr. Charles Rutherford. One Normal girl went home Friday and returned wearing a diamond ring on her third finger. Explanations are in order. We had a good many pleasant days the last of October, and as a result many parents came up to visit the training school. Among the old students who visited Normal during institute week were Misses Charlotte Cochel, Blanch Miller, and Florence Hart. Several of our last year Normal students are attending the university this year. They are Misses Biggs, Ethel Hunt, Martha Creu-ger., Messrs. Eason and Jones. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [20] ---------- Mr. Teck and Dr. Minton, members of the board of trustees, visited the Normal Wednesday morning, Oct. 21, and Mr. Teck gave a very interesting talk at general assembly. Miss Marie Lammon, teacher of physical culture in one of the Tacoma schools also visited the school at chapel hour, during institute week and gave readings from James Whit-com Riley and others. On Monday, Oct. 5, Mr. Harris of the Warde and James theatrical company, visited the Normal, and read to the students scenes from some of Shakespeare's most noted plays, which were very interesting. Miss Blanche M. Evans has been electetd assisant in English. Miss Evans is a graduate of the Tacoma school system and also of Carle-ton, Minesota. She had taught in Tacoma and at Carleton college before coming to the Normal school. Mr. Coventry, pastor of the Congregational church in Whatcom visited the Normal school, Oct. 7. He gave the students a talk on the history of "Sky Pilot," and described the actual places in Canada from which different scenes were taken. A beautiful picture of Francis E. Willard was lately presented to the school by the State W. C. T. U. convention. Dr. Mathes presented it to the students at chapel and we expect soon to have an address on Miss Wil-lard's life by some member of the faculty. Miss Kate Gompertz of Berkeley, Calirofnia, was elected teacher of physical culture. Miss Gompertz is a graduate of the University of California and was an assistant teacher in the Hearst gymnasium in the University of California for two years gefore accepting her work in the Normal school. During institute week several prominent educators visited our school. Among them being Professor Yoder of the State University and Mr. Boone of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Boone was formerly president of Michigan Normal College. He gave an address which should be helpful to all who heard him. Friday evening Oct. 16, the Seniors gave a formal reception to the faculty, the students, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [21] ---------- formal reception to the faculty, the students and their friends. The rooms on the upper floor were very tastefully decorated with maple leaves and fish net. Tea and waifers were served and every one had an enjoyable time. On Saturday, October 17, the geology class went on an excursion to Chuckanut. They went as far as Chuckanut Station on the Great Northern noon train, and walked back in the evening. Among some of the things they did beside observing and examining rocks and soil, was climbing bluffs and walking logs. A great many of last year's students are teaching this fall. Among them are Charlotte Cochel, Marietta; Freida Stark, Blaine; Helen Taylor, Ferndale; Alverna Richendrfer, Whatcom ; Emily Dodd, Lynden; Amy Linnell, Van Zandt; Nora Smith, Deming; Fay Siyits, Dem-ing; Lulu Simmons, Lawrence; Celia Jacobs, Tyman. The vacancy in the music department was filled by the election of Miss Mabel Moore of Ironwood, Mich. Miss Moore studied music in Detroit and Boston and has been supervising music in the public schools of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and Menominee, Michigan, for the past six years. Miss Moore is an acceptable soloist as well as a successful supervisor of music. On Saturday afternoon, Oct. 17, a most delightful little picnic was enjoyed by the members of the first year class. Boarding the 1130 lake car, they went as far as the Whatcom Creek Falls where their first stop was made. After visiting all three falls, and admiring the beauties of the surrounding scenery, they proceeded to walk to the lake. About an hour was spent at the lake side, disposing of the good things with which they were well provided. A row on the lake ended the afternoon's outing, and the crowd returned to town tired but happy. If any one wants to know how to have a good time ask the first years and they can tell you. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [22] ---------- A l u m n i Miss Ethel B. Nelson is teaching in Che-halis. Miss Fleming is teaching in Stanwood, not Everett. At the '04 Senior reception a number of the '03 class was present. Mrs. Anna Leque-Ordal is entertaining a little son in her home. Miss Alice Carmen, '03, has a position as teacher in the schools at Norman. Miss Margaret Schneider, '03, was a visitor at the Normal during institute week. Miss Statira Biggs, '03, has been elected secretary of the Junior Class at the State University. Miss Minerva Pettett of Everett was married recently to Mr. Love, They will reside in Everett. Miss Lillian Miller, '01, was a visitor at the Normal recently. -Miss Miller graduated from the State university last June. Miss Hattie M. Dellinger, '01, is spending the winter in Chicago studying art. During the past summer Miss Dellinger enjoyed a trip to Europe. Miss Belle Williams of the class of '03 has been elected supervisor of music in the Ritz-ville schools in connection with her work as teacher of the sixth grade. Miss Hattie B. Thompson. '00, will spend the coming winter with her sister in Nome, Alaska. Since leaving Whatcom, Miss Thompson has been a teacher in the Seattle schools. Miss Allie Muldoon was married Oct. 2d, to Rev. W. A. McCall of Davenport, Wash. Miss Muldoon has been teaching in Seattle and has received a life diploma from the state board of education. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1903 November - Page [23] ---------- E x c h a n g e s To our exchanges: May you continue to be as profitable and entertaining throughout the year as your first issue proves you can be.

O'er all reigned peace and silence Neither sound of toil or mirth. But the morning wind was wakened And! among the leaves it stirred, Bringing sleepy notes of welcome From the nest of every bird. The blazing sun at noontide Saw a happy, busy world, For the miller sang right gaily As his great wheel hummed and whirled, And the birds sang in the treetops And the mowers in the field Whistled blithely as the long grass To their sweeping scythes did yield. The setting sun at evening Ere he seeks his night's repose Paints earth and sea and1 sky with crimson, Tints each cloud with gold and rose; Sees the swallow turning homeward Weary with a long day's flight Then he sinks behind the mountain Bidding all the world, "Good Night." The silent, deepening twilight falls on the sea once more As the slowly fading sunset Dies away on yonder shore And the fisher turning homeward Like the swallow to its nest Murmurs as his boat he anchors, "After labor, sweet is rest." The moon upon the mountain Keeps watch o'er the sleeping earth. Over all reigns peace and' silence: Hushed all sounds of toil and mirth But the clock in yonder tower Like a deep-voiced sentinel Seems to say at every hour, "God is with you, all is well." —M.

I heard1 in the pine trees behind me A sad and disconsolate roar. As if the sturdy old giants, That had stood for the centuries gone Were weeping and wailing in anguish At civilization's' dawn. I could hear the axe of the woodsman, As tree after tree he fell. It seemed that a goddess of vengeance Was working some terrible spell. Till back in the grand old firest I heard a wearisome wail That mingled in sadness and longing With the ocean's answering gale. "Come back! O come back to the forest! Come back! O ye red men of yore, Come, dwell again 'neath the branches, Come, fish on the still rocky shore, Come, hunt again in the thicket For the bear, the elk, and the deer O, tell me the stories and legends Of the days when your fathers were here!" And then in the great old pine trees 'Twas more silent than ever before, But my thoughts were away in the forest, And I longed for the old days once more, The days of the elk and the cougar, The days when the Indian was here, The days when the forest I loved so, Had nothing—no nothing—to fear. Then drive from our wild Western forests, The hand that blights and destroys And bring again to the woodland The life that the red man enjoys.

A joint student-administration committee will submit arecommendation to acting Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs Peter Harris by the end of next week. If Harris agrees with the recommendation, bidding will open to local banks Jan. 22.Western officials have approached three area banks, Bel-lingham National Bank, WhatcomEducational Credit Union and U.S. Bank Corporation, parent company to ONB, with tentative proposals. While BNB representatives expressed no interest in the venture, Carlson said, WECU and ONB andother interested parties are expected to submit proposals to Western.

After considering an appeal broughtby Western's men's rugby club, Associated Students Adviser Jack Smith chose to uphold Club SportsAdviser Marie Sather's Nov. 5 decision to suspend the team.- Smith, however, lightened the punishment. Steve Biggs, team president, said he will appeal to higher university officials and the American CivilLiberties Union. "Rugby funding comes out of our money as students, from the student activities fund,and that's one reason why it should be up to us as students to make these kind of decisions," Biggssaid. Smith sent a memo to Biggs Nov. 19 stating that the team is suspended through fall quarter,1988, and may apply for reinstatement in winter, 1989. Biggs appealed Sather's decision tosuspend the club through the 1988-89 school year. Biggs claimed article five of the Club Sport Council'sconstitution states authority to suspend teams rests with the council. As part of the appeal process,Smith requested Sather call a meeting of the council and have members vote on the issue. The councilmet Nov. 17 in a closed meeting and voted 7-5 in favor of the suspension. The constitution states athree-fourths majority is required to suspend a team, but Smith's memo stated that "a 7-5 majority is aclear indication to the administration that the above action is necessary." Biggs said he plans toappeal Smith's decision to Saundra Taylor, vice president for student affairs. He said he also plans tocontact an area American Civil Liberties Union representative to find out more about the validity of theteam's claim that proper procedure was violated in the decision. He said unless it is specifically stated that scmeone else has the power to decide the rugby club's Please see RUGBY, p.15 DLI hearsWestern appeal of asbestos violations fine By ANDREA LIGHTBURNE staff reporter The StateDepartment of Labor and Industries began hearing, Tuesday, Western's appeal of $3,700 in fines itreceived in August for the handling of asbestos in Carver Gym. The DLI will continue to heartestimony from representatives from the state department and trade and custodial union and Westernofficials Dec. 17 before reaching a decision. The first four violations were addressed at Tuesday's hearing and the remainder will be discussed at the second. Western was cited for 19 violations of the state'sasbestos removal code for the handling of asbestos during a floor tile removal and replacement project.Workers sanded the existing tile with burnishing machines using 20 weight sandpaper. The tilescontained asbestos and the sanding broke the encapsulated asbestos allowing it to be released into theair. The state department ordered the gym closed after it conducted tests which disclosed high levels of asbestos. The gym was not closed immediately but instead remained open until departmentinvestigator Robert Parker threatened to close the gym with a court order. Western closed the gymand a professional asbestos removal company came in and cleaned up the area. Western officialsthought the procedure was safe and did not believe that the sanding would release the asbestos into theair. Officials thought the procedure of closing the gym was confusing. Three of the fines were classified as "serious." Management did not provide proper respirators for the workers on the project, failed toinform the custodians after the work area was identified as hazardous and allowed them to continue their regular cleanup without safety equipment. Bill Chervenock, campus union representative, said the finaldecision for DLI fine is to be made by a DLI hearing examiner. Chervenock, who attended the hearing,said several violations may be supported by the examiner because Western officials knew tilescontained asbestos before sanding. ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Bank machine bids open soon Continued fromCASH, p.1 the committee's suggestions, which Carlson said is not likely, the recommendation will bereturned for revision. The committee, chaired by Vice President for Student Affairs Saundra Taylor, iscomprised of Wood, AS Activities Director Trent Wheatley, Viking Union Director Jack Smith, Assistant Controller Ron Ballough and Carlson. Originally, the recommendation was to be approved inNovember by the late Vice President for Business Financial Affairs Donald Cole. The bank machine was to begin operating by the end of January. Action on the bank machine was delayed by Cole's death last month when a plane carrying him, President G. Robert Ross and Vice President for University Ad-vancement Jeanene DeLille crashed. The recommendation outlines the kinds of services needed in anon-campus bank machine, how AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETYÂ® revenue from the machine -- if any- would be divided, and what changes in the Plaza Cashier operations would be necessary toaccommodate the bank machine, Carlson said. Although she would give no details until therecommendation receives formal approval, Carlson said revenues derived from each bank machinetransaction would be divided between the general university fund and the Associated Students non-profit scholarship fund. Included in the committee's considerations are the potential ramifications of abank machine to the Plaza Cashier. Because the bank machine will draw some customers away fromthe Plaza Cashier, it will be necessary to shorten the number of hours the business is open to thepublic, Carlson said. Although the installation of the bank machine is expected to affect the flow ofmoney across the university's cashier counter to an annual loss of between $10,000 and $15,000,Carlson said she ex-f G 6 t Advertise } I Lucky %Z I ( ^ 6 7 6 - 3 1 6 1 J pects the bank machine alsowill operate at a deficit. "At a cost of 10 cents per transaction, the ATM would have to be in operation 12 hours a day, with transactions every three minutes, in order to break even," Carlson said. The cost ofbreaking even is about $14,000, the estimated price of the purchase and upkeep of a bank machine, butthe overall benefits and convenience of the service make it "a good idea," she said. The university,however, is hoping to secure a deal where a bank would purchase and install a free-standing machine inthe Viking Union lobby in return for a percentage of transaction revenues and the additional patronagethe bank might receive from Western students. Carlson said even though it is difficult for a single bankmachine to move into the black, banking institutions consider the overall operation of automatic tellers to be profitable.

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

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

Computer team places first Western's four-man computer programming team took first place in the Northwest division of the Pacific Regional ScholasticProgramming Contest Nov. 21 at Western. Overall winner of the Pacific region competition was a team of graduate students from Stanford University, who participated in the contest at a second site atthe University of California at Davis. The two sites were linked by a telephone tie-in for the six-hourcomputer programming competition. Western solved three problems and came out ahead of second-place Portland State University, third-place Oregon State University and fourth-place EasternWashington University. The 11th annual competition brought more than 40 students from eightuniversities to Western. Debaters finish first in tourney Western's debate team captured first andsecond place in the debate event at the Smelt Classic Forensic Tournament Nov. 13 to 14 in Longview,Wash. Two Western teams, one composed of Michelle Hauser and Devin Burghart, and the other madeup of Lanae Reinertsen and Eric Menninga, were scheduled to compete in the tournament's final round.Because both teams were from Western, the final was declared a "close-out," and no final round washeld. Hauser was named top speaker in debate, with her gt; partner, Burghart, coming in second.Menninga was a finalist in impromptu speaking. Other finalists included David Adams in editorialcommentary and Ashanti Li in after-dinner speaking. Adams and Bob Horn took second place in duo-interpretive speaking.

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

Merry Christmas. It's time again for merry souls to revert to the joyous traditional values of yesterdecade. And what better place than the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to bring good oPAmerican values to our homes, with the help of Isotoner gloves, McDonalds and Coc-a-CoIa. Becauseyou, you're the one. Ah, remember those important values we learned as children. I'm glad I knowwhat's important in life. The Oakridge Boys reminded me of what's important as they glided down acrowded New York street during the parade. "Oh baby, I want to love, squeeze you," the group sang,while the outline of a red heart pulsated on the television screen. "Me and you baby are going to makesweet love, baby, in my peekup truck." Kind of makes you all warm and gooshy inside, just likegrandma's fresh-baked cookies. Yummm. A tear of Yuletide joy came to my eye as I saw a 65-footBetty Boop balloon bob between build- DAVE CUILLIER staff reporter mss. Parade commentatorWillard Scott couldn't have worded it better when he said, "She measures 34-24-36, but that's in feet!Va-va-va boom! That's my kind of woman!" Gee, Willard, you crack me up. I was touched later in the pa rade when the Rags-to-Riches kids sung of how much fun it is to be in school. "I like math andscience," sang one of the male characters. "I like writing, and home ec! Hee, hee, hee!" sang one of the female characters while holding a pie. Just like Mary Sue from high school, I thought. Ah, the good oPdays. Barbie and the Rockers, lovely Pia Zadora and other well-known pinnacles of purity alsoblessed our televisions. A high point of the parade for me was when Captain America fried DoctorDoom with 10,000 volts of electricity. It takes grand events like the Macy's Parade to keep our greatAmer'c'n values strong. Sex. Riches. Power. Glitter. Give it all to me. Forget reading, forget liberal arts,just give me a Porsche 924, a hot looking babe for a wife and a job that hands me a six-digit salary.Hey, babes, when I'm famous you'll see me in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, between theCoke and McDonald's commercials. I'll be the one riding the Spuds McKenzie float (made from twomillion Bud Light bottle caps), straddled by two sultry pieces of womanhood while lip-syncing DireStrait's "Money for Nothing." Thanks to television media fluff, me and millions of other dudes willcontinue to hold onto those values dear to our hearts. Heck yeah. We have a responsibility Civil rightsfight mustn't end The 1960s were an awakening to a new social consciousness. Black rights, women's rights, homosexual rights were all discovered. It wasn't that the problems didn't exist before that time, but it was at this time humankind became aware of the injustices. Waking up to a clearlyintolerable reality caused a whole generation to revolt, to demand true justice and true freedom. Sothe hippies said "Hell no, we won't go" to a lot of things: the Vietnam War, segregation, enslaving ofwomen and treating people as less than human. Society breathed a sigh of relief and everything is OK ... right? Wrong! Everything is not OK. People are dying in the streets, sleeping in cardboard boxes,SHARI WALTON staff reporter freezing to death. One out of every three women will be sexuallyassaulted in her lifetime. People with different sexual preferences are "fag bashed" by self-righteousidiots believing they are doing society a favor. These things don't happen monthly, or even daily. Theyhappen by the hour and by the minute. Still some are saying nothing is wrong, all the battles are won; people of color, women and sexual minorities have achieved equality with the rest of us. The reality of injustice still exists, but it has been discredited by our ignorance and apathetic attitude. I knowyou've heard it before. I have too. "Why is this generation so apathetic? They just don't care, theseyoung people today." Sadly, it's true. We try not to think about social injustices. It's easier to climb intoour car, travel to our heated apartments, cook dinner, study and climb into our warm bed. Whathappened? Maybe it just got so bad we all decided to give up, or maybe we decided it wasn't worth it.We must not allow ourselves to be so ignorant as to believe a certain amount of injustice is inevitable,or even desirable. We are the future. It is time we own up to that responsibility. ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 7 ---------- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 WESTERN FRONT 7 Letters The Front welcomes letters about all pointsof yiew.

The Front will not accept hand-written letters forpublication. Letters must includf the: Reilly hecklers shoot own foot The Front, As a proponent of thepeace movement in North America and as an advocate of human rights action by North Americans inCentral America, I am embarrassed by the reactionaries within the movement. On Thursday evening,one Col. Peter Reilly from the State Department's Office of Public Diplomacy gave a 45-minute, pro-Contra pep rally. To be sure, Colonel Reilly is a (moderately effective) professional propagandist who is being paid by the Reagan administration to promote its peculiar brand of democracy in CentralAmerica. His particular choice of quotes and statistics is subject to interpretation by each individualcapable of critical thought. Indeed, we are each entitled to our own opinions. But what irked me morethan any official rhetoric was the outright inconsiderate reactionism that took place during the talk bymembers of the audience. To rebut Reilly's interpretation of the facts by reactionaries with inter-ruptiveoutbursts does little more than erode the credibility of the peace movement. There is always acontingent of people who have not quite made, up their minds on an issue one way or the other, andundoubtedly Reilly and his cohorts are pleased to see the peace movement sending recruits to theright. Therefore, I think if the people in the peace movement would only get wise to the reality of publicrelations, instead of scaring people away with reactionism, their efforts would surely wax moreeffective.

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

After opening the season at home last Saturday with a 66-61 win over California StateUniversity at Chico, Western lost 75- 63 in Burnaby, B.C. to Simon Fraser University on Wednesday in its first NAIA District I game. We're going to make mistakes, but we'll be a team to be reckoned with. -Lynda Goodrich Western fell behind early against a fast-breaking Simon Fraser team, which jumpedout to a 18-4 lead. The Clansmen built their lead as high as 15 points before Western began to battle itsway back into the contest. Trailing 40-29 at the half, the Vikings outscored Simon Fraser 20-10 toclose within one point, 50-49. Freshman center Cim Hanson came off the bench to spark her teammates with six of her nine points during the run. But Western never got any closer. The Clansmen's SaraHaave hit a three-point shot for a 53-49 lead, and Simon Fraser rebuilt its lead, putting the game out ofreach. Forward Lynn Munday led Western with 16 points. Hanson had a team-high 10 rebounds, andforward Anna Rabel chipped in eight points and eight rebounds. "It's iusi a matter of our youth andinexperience," Western Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "I was more pleased with what I saw coming outout of the Simon Fraser game than what I saw in the Chico State game. It takes time to work togetherand make good decisions." This year's lineup consists of three sophomores and two juniors. Only twoplayers are back from last year's starting lineup. In last Saturday's Chico State victory, Western wasable to use the fast break to its advantage over the slower Wildcats. Western never relinquished its leadafter going on top 25-24 with six minutes left in the first half.

The Western women accomplished this by placing four out of its five women in the top 52. The big surprise of the meetwas the running of Sarah Williams, who led the women by finishing 12th. This was Williams' bestfinish of the season and earned her Ail-American honors. Genevie Pfueller also earned Ail-Americanhonors by placing 19th, the third time Pfueller has been named an All-American. "It's an amazing feat,"Western Coach Kelvin Halsell said. "It's a great accomplishment for Western." The lone runner for the Viking men did not do as well. It's a great accomplishment for Western. -head coach Kelven Halsell Neal Sherry fell in the first quarter-mile of his race. When he tried to get up, he was kicked in the headand back, so he stayed down until the herd of runners passed.

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

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

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

The subcommittee, which consists of Trustees Martha Choe, chair, Larry Taylorand Gordon Sandison, will formulate a process for the selection and determine the composition of thesearch committee. The committee tentatively will include Choe as chair, Taylor, Trustee Craig Cole, four faculty members, Associated Students President Dan Wood, one additional student and at least four administrators. Remaining committee members should be appointed by the end of January, whenthey will begin considering possible candidates for the position currently filled by acting President AlFroderberg. Some faculty members were concerned that the committee be large and varied enough torepresent all of the university's interests. Choe said her preference was for the group to remain smalland she didn't want the committee's size to be an issue. "I will seek to balance the representation ofconstituencies, with a workable group," Choe said. Rosalie King, chair of the home economicsdepartment, agreed with Choe, but added she thought at least one faculty member should be awoman. She also said she would like the professional departments, such as technology, to haveinput. "My concern is that across the campus there is such a diversity of faculty. I want to be sure theyare all represented," she said. Choe said the campus community will be kept apprised of thecommittee's findings through upcoming forums and that the search for potential candidates could becompleted by June, Choe said. "I think this (date) is reasonable. We are going to take the amount oftime we need in order to do the best job possible." Rugby fate unfairly decided, Biggs says Continuedfrom RUGBY, p.1 fate, it should rest with the Club Sport Council. "We went through ail that hassle to go through the Club Sport Council and they made their decision, and they (Smith and Sather) just ignoredthat and booted us anyway," Biggs complained. Part of the suspension states the team may notclaim affiliation with Western, and Sather said if they continue calling themselves Western men's rugbyclub they will be violating the suspension. pancake breakfast in the Viking requested| l gt;as gt;e!d onabiUty to |SeattIef:f^ : | ! | e | i | f | | l | |^ PACE'S NEW USED In Old Town Check Out DiscountSavings at Pace's 413 W.

"That's where Hickey's involved," bassist LTD said, in reference to the pint-sized deitythe band members claim is their unifying factor. "Hickey the Wonder Bug. He's the greatest god of all,"vocalist Beijing Waxneedle stated. "Better than Christ, Buddha... " "But then again, our whole idea is tokill him," guitarist Boom Boom interjected. "He's kind of a paradoxical parasite. It's a confusing concept,but when you get down to it, he's like, this little bug, and you both worship him yet destroy him."Whatever. The guys in PCP (Beijing, Boom Boom, LTD and drummer Doug "Jung" Disney) don't try tomake a lot of sense, most of the time. Making a lot of noise is more their gig, and it's something theypromise to do when they play tonight at the Up and Up Tavern. The band was scheduled to open for San Francisco's Lethal Gospel, but the headline act backed out and at presstime PCP still was searchingfor an opening act for tonight. LTD, Boom Boom and Disney all played in the band Karate Church last year, and Waxneedle joined the trio last summer when Karate Church split up. "You can't classify ourmusic," LTD said, but the other members described it as loud, silly and occasionally socially relevantâ€” but never offensive. "There's nothing offensive about ... Golden Showers," Waxneedle exclaimed,referring to the Mentors tune that is one of PCP's standbys. One of the band's socially relevant tunes,"Eat, Oral, Eat," probably will appear on the second "Bellingham Complication" tape, due out earlynext year. Written last spring when Oral Roberts was fasting in an attempt to raise $8 million, the songis an eloquent plea for the televangelist to resume consumption of solids. "We were worried about hishealth," Boom Boom said. The band also is recording a full-length tape, due out in January, which willinclude its five-song thropera (thrash/ opera), "Strap On ~ The Story of a Young Man in Turmoil." Thethropera includes the band's unofficial anthem, "The Ballad of Gruff Otis," about a school truancyofficer who likes young boys. Indicative of the overtly perverted, sexual lyrics present in many PCP t u n e s , the amphetamine-paced "Gruff Otis" includes the verse, "He's six-foot-four and bald on top/ Withhair upon his back./ He smiles at you and leers a bit/ While thinking of your crack./ Gruff Otis, GruffOtis, there's no escaping him./ Gruff Otis, Gruff Otis, the future looks quite grim!" The boys insist they'rejust having fun, but lyrics like these, an abundance of cacophonous music and some lewd stage antics("we're not playing with dildos anymore," Beijing pointed out) have gotten the band kicked out of Buck'sand limited its appearances this fall to The Up and Up. The band did play on Camano Island and atBellingham's Eagles Hall this summer, though, during its "Safe Sodomy '87" tour. Waxneedle described "tolerance" as the basis of PCP's relationship with The Up and Up. Boom Boom said he believes theproprietors may like the band partly because of its fans, whom he described as "our drunk friends. It'ssort of a parasitic relationship. They sell lots of beer, and we get to play there." The band is trying towiden its appeal, though, and hopes to per- Please see PILATE, p.23 Dear Santa The Borden brotherscelebrate Christmas 18 Nutcracker Two versions of classic ballet to be presented 19 Taking StepsWestern senior directs English comedy 20 Moonpins Full agenda ahead for former B* ham band 22 A WEEKLY PULL-OUT ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 18 ---------- 18 ACCENT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 A Christmas Story Eddie tells Santa 'you're fat' ByDOUGLAS BUELL staff reporter Ah, the spirit of Christmas. Snow leaves a quilt of downy-soft powderon the streets of Lidsville. Meanwhile, inside the Borden home, strings of lights hanging on the tree andcriss-crossing the room blink as if to say.... ...."Eat at Joe's." After a miserable Thanksgiving Dayfeast of Tortelli's Turkey Loaf - a brick-shaped bundle of mystery meat gleaming in gelatinous holidayooze ~ Eddie, the mischievous other half of the Borden twins, thought diner chow sounded prettygood. His amiable brother Robert already had informed Eddie that turkey loaf would again be served at Christmas dinner because "mom said so." A distraught Eddie reached out and tweaked Robert'snose, whereby Robert fled down the stairs screaming, "Eddie broke my nose, Eddie broke my nose!"Punishment rendered, their parents banished Eddie to an evening of humility and solitaryconfinement in his room. Later, Robert helped his mother Liz pin up gaudy Christmas decorationsdownstairs on the living room walls. He always helps his mother. He's clean. Friendly. Courteous. Kind.Meanwhile Dad, pipe hanging from his mouth, teasingly flashed his wife with his new mistletoe bucklebelt. Liz' cheeks reddened to an amber glow and pulsated, as if to say... ...um..."Eat at Joe's." Sheresponded to Dad with a suggestive wink, and recommended Robert go upstairs, make holiday peacewith his brother, and write their letters to Santa Claus. "Gotta write 'em early," she said. "Otherwise,Zippy the postal boy can't get 'em to the North Pole in time for Christmas." "Whadya' want forChristmas, son?" asked Dad between hacking coughs from the screen of pipe smoke that now pervaded him. Robert said timidly he might like to have the new book, "Babar the Elephant Gets a Day Job."Grabbing a pen from the plastic pocket protector pad on the breast pocket of his father's shirt, Robertgot right to work on his letter. Dear Santa, I've been a good kid. I kiss my Mom and Dad before I go tosleep at night, I even remember to put the toilet seat down and flush each time. Mostly. I still believe inyou even though my dear brother Edward and all the kids at school say you're a Sandinista guerrilla in disguise and you don't wash your hair regularly.

' ;; *; Elizabeth (AnnaLisa Houk) issurprised by her motorcycle-riding landlord (Rob Noteboom).' By MAGGIE PRINGLE staff reporter T heBritish comedy, "Taking Steps," features a six-member cast, comprising Western drama studentsunder the direction of Western senior Mary Beth Sternberg. The play opened last night and will continue with performances tonight and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Lab Theater, Performing Arts Center 199.Sternberg admits it's unusual for an undergraduate to direct a full-length play, but she said she plans toattend a California university next year for a master's degree in fine arts in directing. Sternbergdirected "The Line" and "Laundry and Bourbon" at Western last year and acted in Summerstock theater. "Taking Steps," the two-act play by Alan Ayckbourn, takes place in an old three-story Victorian manor.While the scenes are in the living room, upstairs bedroom and the attic, the representation is on thestage level. Sternberg said comedy can be complicated. "Taking Steps" is the first full-length play she has directed, and the gimmicks demand timing. "The set is compact, and it makes it hard for theactors, but it also makes it funny," Sternberg said. "The small theater lets the audience get close to theaction," she added. In the play, Roland (played by Mike Rainey) is in the process of buying the manor.His lawyer (John O'Brien) and landlord (Rob Noteboom) are at the house when Roland discovers his wife, Elizabeth, (AnnaLisa Houk) has left him. Elizabeth's brother and his girlfriend (Matt Whitman and LyssaBrowne) also are at the manor and add to the confusion that leads to mistaken identities. "Directing is not telling people where to stand but developing the charac-ter... their tactics and intentions,"Sternberg said. Through a directional philosophy, her choices reflect an interpretation of the play. Forthis comedy Sternberg said her philosophy is "manipulation leads to isolation." With a background inacting and participating in Western's acting courses and productions she knows what the characters should do. In choosing the cast Sternberg said she also knew who had English accents for theexaggerated characters and the timing for the comedy. Admission to "Taking Steps" is $2 at the door.H Award-winning artstudents show their best at the VU By ALISON MAJOR staff reporter Watch out forthe six-foot-long concrete figure when entering tne Viking Union Gallery. Zena Nottingham's "CementMan" lies low in the center of the floor, where it could easily he backed into it if visitors don't payattention. Not that the sculpture is inconspicuous; it isn't, but the artwork around the gallery may bedistracting enough to make one forget the massive figure. The gallery is showing prize-winning Westernartists' work until Dec. 9. Eight art students last spring received various grants and scholarships fortalent and dedication. To honor these seniors, space has been provided in the VU Gallery for them todisplay some of their best works. Among the honors given were the J. Ruth Kelsey Merit Scholarship, the art department's Annual Art Merit Grant and the Edward B. Thomas Memorial Scholarship. Workson display are pieces selected by the artists, so not all are award winners. The showing does, however,include several award-winning designs or works created with materials bought from monies providedthrough the grant. Nottingham said she didn't intend to spend the entire $100 materials-fee waiverawarded her, but admitted her "Cement Man" required it. "I found I kept on needing buckets of cement,"she said. Her dedication to the piece didn't stop there. Pillows, scrap material, plywood and anythingelse she "didn't mind ruining," also were incorporated into the sculpture. TTie works range frompaintings and furniture to clothing and have titles such as "Man Holding Shark" and "Stern's HouseCollage." Stern's House is Western's painting gallery for art students, artist Catherine "Kitty"Brougham said. The fine-arts major said she wants the ideas expressed in her art to be appealing bythemselves, rather than have people draw on life experiences or outside observations to find meaningin her work. "I want the impact to be in the pieces themselves, not in the associations they have withsomething else. I want to hit you one-on- one," she said. An example is her untitled tracing-paperhanging, which has a large pinkish-blue or red square on it â€” depending on the lighting. As the airmoves the paper, the square's color changes between blue and pink as the light hits the treated oil-pastel block of color differently. Brougham said this kinetic energy movement is what makes the workspecial in it's own right. Senior art student Eric Freeberg won first place in the J. Ruth Kelsy MeritScholarship competition, worth a year's residence, tuition and materials. His still-life oil paintings aredisplayed on the back wall of the gallery. Kay Kammerzell received the scholarship's second prize:a $100 materials-fee waiver. She said she likes to incorporate industrial materials, such as metals andplastics into her design. Kammer-zell's furniture, wall hangings and pendant all feature these materials.She also has designed triangular metal coffee tables and a couch made of paper mache, which will be shown at an upcoming Whatcom Museum art festival. "I'm working more with furniture designsand interior-type objects for creating an environment where my pieces are definitely functionable," shesaid of her current artistic pursuit. Dale Seachord, who won a $50 materials grant, said he used partof the prize to buy army shirts. "(They) are a prime material in some of my newer pieces," he said.Because he has become interested in painting again, Seachord said he also bought oil paint, fixative and turpentine. Seachord's art displayed in the gallery has characteristics of "The Far Side" comicstrip, although he clearly has his own perceptions. Seachord added he likes to use techniques done inthe past, but makes them suit his purpose. For example, Seachord combines old canvas paintings,heavy material and several types of drawing textures (i.e. paint, pastel, charchoal) to make one, largecollage. "The methods to put together are not extremely refined. Often they're very crude, such as very crude gluing and sewing, which I feel cuts into the very crude-cut look of the pieces themselves,"Seachord said. He added this is a technique borrowed from early- 1900s artist Kurt Switter, known forhis abstract collages. Other students honored for outstanding achievements in art were Candy Knott,Jennifer England and Susan Lamb. ---------- Western Front - 1987 December 4 - Page 21 ---------- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4,1987 Our Grand-Remodeling sale Continues!

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

"We're purposely writing our songs to get on the PMRC's (Parent's Music Research Council)blacklist," Disney said. The PMRC, headed by Tipper Gore, the wife of presidential candidate Albert,is lobbying to establish a rating system for songs, so parents will know if their children arepurchasing music with "offensive content." "And we think it's great that Albert (Gore) actually smokedpot," Disney added. "We should confess, we've all smoked pot, but we all regret it," Waxneedle said."And don't do crack," Boom Boom admonished. "It kills."

Dr. Hicks thinks Bellingham, and Sehome hill in particular, make an ideal setting for a school. He is more than laudatory about the library, which he regards as a model of efficiency and beauty. The building and organization are similar to that at Stanford, with which he is familiar. In Charge of Three Courses The courses which he teaches this quarter are freshman English, studies in English language and American literature. English I is an orientation course in literature, and the students are now engaged in reading Homer's Odyssey. Studies in English language is a comprehensive survey of the language, including historical background, derivation of words, principles of grammar and problems encountered in teaching it. One of the most interesting subjects the English department offers this year is American literature, a gen-ral vista of American literary achievement. Study of Jonathan Edwards, colonial sage, introduces the student to this great field, and survey pf the contemporary scene closes the course. Although he has had little op- .portunity to get acquainted yet, Dr. Hicks anticipates a pleasant year, having found the students to be willing, intelligent arid co-operative. The latter will find in him a keen thinker ready to advise them in English problems. Lecturing on the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns, Mr. William Dunlop, P. R. G. S., eminent lecturer of Vancouver, B. C, will be the feature of Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Dunlop is a Scotsman by birth and has spent much of his life in traveling the globe. He has spent twenty years in South Africa and the same length of time in Canada, touring and lecturing. In addition to his experience in the Pacific northwest, Mr. Dunlop has lectured before the Scottish society in England, and to the Shakespeare society, the Burns fellowship, and various open audiences throughout the world. He is said to have an excellent, resonant speaking voice and is also a singer of ability, often illustrating his interesting lectures with songs and dramatic readings. The life and works of Robert Burns will be the subject of Mr. Dunlop's address at this assembly. The talk will be illustrated with various slides. Mr. Dunlop is considered an authority on the subject of the late Scottish poet. o Weythman Speaks About World Trip To IRC. Club ^ r n e t Is Elected President of the International Relations Organization Class Will Form With New Text "An Introduction to Western Civilization" Will Be New Material Students this quarter are facing a reorganization of the course in History of Civilization. A new text, "An introduction to Western Civilization," will be used as part of the material for the organized course. The book is edited by Professor George A. Hedger, who has been assisted by economists, political sci-ents, psychologists, and educators. "This is the best book ever used in this department," says Miss Nora Cummins, "anii emphasis is to be placed on History of Agriculture and Industry." *fr Bushell Issues Call To School Players Do you play an instrument? That is the big question. Mr. D. Bushell ' of the Music department, invites all Normal school students who play musical instruments, especially violin, to see him as soon as possible in the music office concerning the orchestra.

Miss Weythman was the main speaker of the evening. She* spoke on her trip around the world, speaking especially about Vienna, Budapest and Germany. Current discussions on present day problems also were held. The leaders of the discussions were: The World Disarmament Conference, Miss Dinsmore; The League Invites American Aid in China's Reconstruction, Miss Ingerson; The Revolution in Cuba, Miss Larson; Recognition for Russia, Miss Jamie-son. Officers for the year were elected. They are President, Kenneth Bernet; vicer president, Donald Mair; secretary, Connie Ingerson; treasurer, Eunice Dinsmore; I. R. C. representative, Sarah Jamieson. o Scholarship Society Meets This Evening • / / '•' Fred Knapman, president "f Scholarship Society, today announced that its first meeting of the year will be held tonight in the Edens hall club room at eight o'clock this evening. Knapman urged all members of the society to attend as this is to be one of the most important meetings this quarter. Officers for the club will be elect-and general plans for the coming year discussed. Arrangements for the quarterly banquet and initiation will be planned at the meeting. ——r—o — Registration at U Above Expectation Registration at the University of Washington in theMast week has far surpassed the expectations of enrollment. Hopes for reaching the 7400 mark were high as 6309 had been registered early in the week. A fee drop from $15 to $10 and relaxed entrance requirements were the outstanding reasons for the Increased enrollment.

Girls Make Plans Playhouse Is Meeting Place for Bine Triangle Girls; Work in View The Blue Triangle club met at the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday evening, October 4. Through the co-operation of Miss Rich and the Campus school, the club obtained the use of the playhouse in back of the school for a meeting place. The playhouse was originally built for the second grade by the junior high pupils of the Campus school, but was never finished in the interior. The club will finish painting the interior and furnish it. Mr. Ruck-mick and his classes will also assist. Officers for this year were elected at the last meeting and are as follows: President, Molly Pearl; vice president, Henny Lund; I. C. C. representative, Theona Flick; secretary-treasurer, Marie de Gollier. The theme for the programs for the quarter is, "Interracial Understanding and Appreciation". Informal discussion will be held on that subject, led by various members of the club. "Negroes" will be the subject for the next meeting. The discussion will be led by Marie de Gollier. o — Gallanger Is Elected President of W Club In Meeting Tuesday Officers Are Left Vacant by Many Students Who Leave Town Bert Gallanger was elected president of the W club at a special meeting held last Tuesday after school. Other officers elected were: Walter Sinko, vice president; and Alois Charlesworth, secretary-treasurer. " \ • The election was made necessary because officers who were elected last year are attending other schools. Those who were to have taken office this -fall were: Truman Berg, president; George Nolte, vice president; John Stiger, secretary-treasurer. 0 —- I. C. C. Holds First Meeting of Term At the first meeting of the Inter-club Council, held on Wednesday, September 27, under the leadership of its president, Victor Dickinson, They discussed club work and made several important decisions. Through the advice of the Board of control, the clubs will sponsor the Rec Hours, as was done last year* An officerss' training school will be held under the supervision of V. H. Hoppe of the Speech department. A committee was appointed consisting of Lila Welder, and Sara Jamieson to consider application of meeting dates and social affairs during the fall quarter. ! October 15 was set. as the deadline for the clubs to elect representatives to the cbuncU.' All representatives will serve for three quarters, instead of «ne quarter as was done in the past- -V: ^ lt;^rrf: New Policy Instituted New Library Policy Inaugurated to Minimize Students' Difficulties "The keynote of our policy is to minimize as much as possible the difficulties facing the student hi the use of this library," said Miss Mabel Wilson, head librarian, in an inter view for the benfit of new students. To the student just entering a university or college • the libraries with their vast resources are ex tremely bewildering. Out of so much material it is difficult to pick a particular volume or article and this school is fortunate in having a librarian who from her own exper ience in the complexities of large libraries has been able to quite a degree, to do away with them here. Miss, Wilson further stated that teachers college courses are highly specialized and in order to co-op erat to the fullest extent the library has gathered in the general reading room all material related to the curriculum. This material has been classified in the card index located in the main hall. A catalogue list ing all current articles is maintained and indicates which of these articles are obtainable in the library's maga zine section, where the best publications may be found. The library staff will gladly supply pamphlets to thos not familiar with the median ids of the index and catalogue. Four New Buildings On 'U'fcCampus Soon Half Million Dollar Program Begun by Board Launching a million and a half dollar building program for the University campus this year, the board of regents with the state relief commission are making available to the University $1,400,000 for the erection of four new buildings with construction scheduled to start in the immediate future. A new fire-proof infirmary and a new dormitory for the women along with a hew wing for the library and an addition to the power plant are the projects included. Fifteen Amateurs Report To Class Fifteen aspiring amateurs assembled after registration in the JViking hang-out to .gather tid-bits for the .weekly criterion. Fairhaven high brought forth five young hopefuls, while Whatcom added two more to the list. Others hailed from as far south as Southern Oregon, and as far north as Lyn-den, Washington.

The advisability of attempting to publish a Klipsun for the year 1933-34 was discussed at great length by the Board of Control last spring quarter. At that time the Board decided to forgoe further clucking over the matter, and to refer it to a popular vote this fall. Last year each student paid one dollar per quarter to the Associated Students, which sum was set aside as subscription fee for the annual. Each student, during the year, paid three dollars for his yearbook. Three dollars is a pre-depression price for an annual. Many find it difficult to meet even the small cost of registration here. One dollar reduction in fees would mean much. Yet most men and women in, this school would sacrifice something more immediately and more materially important in order to have some permanent record of the good times of the school year. The cost to the students of the publication can be greatly reduced by publishing advertisements in it, charging each student only his part of the total remainder over the receipts .from the sale of these advertisements. This would benefit the students by reducing the cost to him; the business manager, by enabling him to receive a percentage of the receipts; the printers, who will be publishing a larger book, the advertisers, who will receive the publicity due them in the book; and the administration, which will be publicized by the copy of the Klipsun lying on each advertiser's showcase. ; The plan would be beneficial to everyone concerned. There is no reason why it cannot be instated. o INCORPORATION POSSIBILITIES The following is a list of some of the things which the incorporation of the Associated Students will make possible: The administration of the funds of the Associated Students by its officers. Independent borrowing, lending and investment of funds by the Association. 3. Purchase, lease, or mortgage of real property by the Association. 4. Exclusive control of Normalstad by the Board of Control. 5. Exclusive management of the Northwest Viking by the Board. 6. The existence of a fund, the property of the Associated Students, which is in no way identified -with state funds. Whether the Board of Control can manage these affairs and responsibilities remains yet to be seen. Nevertheless, the willingness and courage to try are to student president, John Christy's, credit. 1 -.2. ....In September we look back.on the lazy warm summer months with somewhat of a smiler—prj sometimes actually a lusty chuckle—or, if sentimentally inclined, perhaps a sigh or two—or more.

Mi diery— Literary This And That "Faraway," J. B. Priestly'st latest opus, fails to be amusing, convincing, whimsical or interesting—in short, it isn't literature. Bookman suggests that with plot by Stevenson, characters by Dickens and Conrad, spiritual atmosphere courtesy of George Gissirig, the book is an insoluble mystery. I have wondered for some time how Priestly "got away with it". His plots are the hackneyed old stuff, rejuvenated and embellished with Thackeray and Dickenesque characters. In "Human Being," Christopher Morley erects a monument to the forgotten man, Richard Roe, who always gets the worst of it in deals with John Doe. The main happenings in thirty years of Richard's life are there, during which time he was travelling salesman for a publishing house; married his jealous and shallow wife, Lucille; met Minnie Hutz-ler; went into the stationery accessories business; and dropped dead at a most opportune moment. Morley shows how well he understands human nature when'he tracks Richard through his peregrinations, doing his trailing with finesse and real understanding. I A freshman in the University of Colorado law school, failing to awake in time for a final examination, has sued his jeweler for $1,000 damages for the mental agony and suffering caused by the jeweler's tardiness in repairing his alarm clock. Just finished "Street of Sandal-makers" by Nis Peterson. It left a very disagreeable taste in my mouth. Seemed that the author rather blunderingly copied the style of John Erskine, that gentleman who has the temerity to deburik classical heroes. Petersen's manner is not exactly that of the iconoclast, but he modernizes the language of Marcus and the other noble Romans, to render it recognizable to moronic readers. Anachronisms well done make good reading, but "Street of Sandalmak-ers" does not impress the reader with its quality. ^o • University of Minnesota co-eds are liable to a fine of $40 or a jail sentence of six days if they are captured wearing a fraternity pin.

Wednesday evening the drawing for golf positions was held. As only eight men had signed up by Monday night, Carver sent a call out for all men who had the ability to swing clubs and had three more men signed by Wednesday. Those signed up include Bob Lindsley, Bun Miles, Hugh Lovegren, Jack Clark, Bob Hartley, By Moser, Gordon Richardson, James Pendleton, Jim Mo-scrip, James Ahern, and Dan Van Doren. The tennis tournament got under way Tuesday with twelve men fighting i t out for the school championship. Bill Hussey, the tournament favorite, defeated his old high school rival, "Chuck" Livesey, in a match that extended three sets. Shenen-berger and Myers were also winners, eliminating Moscrip and Waters, respectively. A team that call themselves the Independents were victorious over the Northwest Vikings in the first volleyball game. Last evening the Frosh took on the Alley Cats. A split season- of six games each will be played in volleyball, with the first half ending October 16. Independents Win Volleyball Game From Viking Team News Reporters Lose First Game of Intramural Season by 2 to 1 Score The Independents got a ump on the other volleyball teams last Tuesday when they got into the win column by defeating the Vikings in two out of three games. The Independents took the first game in an uphill battle and after losing the second to the scrappy reporters took the third and final game by a wide margin. Zoet, Van-der Griend and Divird stood out for the winners, with Stone and Lindsley looking fair for the Vikings. Passing Attack Poor Neither team had a very polished passing attack. The courts weren't long enough for the newswriters and this helped to account for 'their downfall. Last evening the Alley Cats took on the Frosh. The remainder of the schedule is as follows: Oct. 9—Independents vs. Cats. Oct. 10—Vikings vs. Frosh. Oct. 12—Independent vs. Frosh. Oct. 16—Vikings vs. Cats. Oct. 17—Independent vs. Vikings. Oct. 18—Alley Cats vs. Frosh. Oct. 23—Independents vs. Cats. Oct. 24—Vikings Vs. Frosh. Oct. 28—Independents vs. Frosh. Oct. 30—Vikings vs. Cats. Viking Halfback Relates History Walt Sinko is to Play Last Year of College Football Here This Season Walt Sinko East born but West bred—that's Walt Sinko, Viking stellar halfback, who this season will represent Bel-lingham in his last year of college footbal. The Polish "Mercury" was born in Minnesota in 1910 but came West before he was a year old. His football career began when he turned out for freshman high school football at Raymond, Wash. He became a regular the next year and was voted a berth on the all-Sbuth-west conference first team in his senior year. St. Martin's had first chance to use him on a college team, but in 1930 after three semesters at Lacey he cam here. Walt thinks the tri-normal this year is practically a toss-up. He believes the Vikings might take the Frosh, but the other non-conference teams look plenty tough. Wo men s Sports W. A. A.

Though more girls signed up for those three sports than put in an appearance at the first practice, the advisers and sports managers expect more to report before next week. Last Monday afternoon in the big gym, Miss Jewell, volleyball adviser, looked over the prospects for the coming intramurals and above the din of jumping feet gave the girls a little preliminary drill. Note: Some of the freshmen turnouts appeared in quite fetching plaid gym suits in the autumnal shades! Much talent from previous years was displayed in the hockey turnout on Tuesday, with a group including five girls who played on the Sophomore hockey team last year. This group does not include, however, Lorraine Shepherd, who was an outstanding hockey center during her year's attendance at this school, but- who is now teaching in Walla Walla. An., exchange., paper., from., the Charleston, Illinois, Teachers college bears the interesting item of what would appear to be a deviation from the usual W. A.

Women's sports there sponsor not only hiking, tennis, and archery, but rifling, track, and social dancing as welL Soccer called put as many, if not more, enthusiastic turn-outs as did volleyball, but yet more are solicited by Miss Weythman, adviser, and Maude Campbell, manager.

Women's Athletic Association Holds Formal Initiation Taking Pledge and Social Tea Highlights of Ceremony Held at Hall Formal initiation, followed by a social tea, was held Thursday after noon by the Women's Athletic association in the blue room of the Edens hall for about twenty-five new members. In candlelight to the strains of the initiation song the candidates walked slowly into the circle of members. Each prospect was led forward by an .old member to take the pledge and sign the club scroll. This scroll was started last year when formal initiations first replaced the rough house ones formerly held. The club initiation song was sung, accompanied by Lillian Mar-salais at the piano. Lottie Stevenson, chairman of the .affair, assisted by her committee, served tea to the group. As a finale for the initiation the girls gathered around the fireplace and sang. Those initiated include: Hazel Swisher, Mary Thompson, Marye Louise Harrison, Leona Trager, Jo sephine Grassmeyer, Maxine Iddins, Mildred Stoecher, Phyllis Greely, Gwendolyn Simmons, Rose Jacob, Helen Ward, Donnie' Grant, Evelyn Neal, Elsie Jensen, Jane Miller, Mar-cella Hachett, Aloha Genther, and Sue Harlow. ;—. —o Sailboat Excursion To Lodge Arranged For all the women and instructors of the school, the Women's Athletic association is sponsoring a sailing excursion to Viqueen lodge tomorrow afternoon.

These are the questions that are being asked around school now, as they always are at this time of the year, and we are pleased to find a more optimistic spirit than we have seen for years. A new coach, a new system, many new players, and we hope a "new deal", have started this hopeful outlook and it shows that the students are all behind the team, in a big way. Let's hope we're not disappointed. "Blocking!" Just a small word but still the most important word in football, or at least in the Notre Dame system of attack which Coach Lappenbusch is ushering in at this school this year. Every night that word is drilled into the players until pretty soon they'll be blocking for Sinko and Toby through the halls, and if present indications mean anything, we will at least have one good blocking team this year. So, remember that when Sinko, or Imhoff, or any of the other boys plants the pigskin over that last chalk line, they only did it because the other ten players did their job well. We've heard rumors that Dill Pierron is going to be a sticker candidate for yell leader this year. More power to you, Bill. (Just a campaign picture above, folks). C. P.

Herbert Gallanger, newly elected president of the club, says that the committees working on plans for the affair have not had time to secure a satisfactory place for the dance, and a suitable orchestra. . Meeting Held Oct. 3 A meeting was held on Tuesday, October 3, and a committee with Jack Palkner, general chairman; Louis Shaeffer, tickets and nro-grams; and Al Charlsworth, refreshments, were appointed by the president. According to Gallanger, the other main reason for the postponement of the quarterly affair is that the date set was too near the beginning of the quarter and the boys aren't well enough acquainted. State Supreme Court To Decide Question To Affect Building Extent of P. E. Building to Depend on Action Today Whether or not Bellingham Normal will be granted enough money to erect at least a part of the Physical Education building, will depend to a great extent upon the action of the state supreme court today. They are to decide whether or not the state bond issue of $10,000,000 will be used for direct or indirect relief. If it is to be used directly, to buy food and clothing to give out, it is quite probable that Normal will get much less than asked. If it is to be used indirectly to put people to work at building worthwhile projects, probably about $150,- 000 will be appropriated by the state. When Governor Clarence D. Martin was here for commencement last summer, he looked the situation over, and said that he realized the need of such a building on the campus. He has recommended the appropriation of some money for this purpose. Of the $3,300,000,000 federal bond issue, which is intended to encourage state, county, and municipal projects/ probably about $50,000 will be given. The board of trustees asked for $300,000. If only $200,000 is appropriated, two-thirds of the building will be erected. This will probably include the men's gymnasium and the swimming pool, while the women's gymnasium will be built later. At the time the trustees made the request, they said that they believed the construction of this building is in accord with the construction program of the federal public works and industrial control plan. • o Game to be Played (Continued from Page One) try to make that up with lots of fight. If {he first game were tomorrow instead of next Friday, the lineup .would probably look something like this: Odell and Claypoole, ends; Hoban and Smick, tackles; Tonco and Mitchell, guards; Finley, center;- Bagley, quarter; Sinko and Toby, halfbacks, and Imhoff, full. However the others all have a chance to . break into the lineup during the next week and several changes may be made. . .- New Men Out Three new men started to turn out in the last week and one or two ignore are expected out next week. George St; James, a halfback from last year's W. SLC. frosh eleven, started to turn put last Friday night.

This was only one of the adventures of Miss Ruth Weythman, physical education instructor, • on her trip around the world. "I left Seattle a year ago this month for the Orient," said Miss Weythman as if reliving it all. "In Japan I visited with a Japanese girl with whom I had corresponded since I was in college. I had tea at her home and she showed me some of the costumes which her father had in his possession, of the ancient warriors of her country. "From Japan I went to China on a Japanese boat, which was unfortunate enough to get in the tail end of a typhoon. While I was on board the captain announced the election of President Roosevelt. "I was in Peking, a very old and fascinating city, where ancient and modern ways are contrasted. From this city I went on an excursion to the Great Wall. After visiting other cities in China, I went to Manilla, where I spent a day with Mrs. Mansfield (Vesta Larson) a former Normal student. - "Singapore was the southernmost point I reached. Here one feels a very tropical atmosphere. "One of the high spots in my trip was seeing the sun come over Mt. Everest in India. Here I joined some Canadian girls andtook a train to Bagdad.

Martin, twenty-four candidates received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The place was the auditorium of Bellingham State Normal school; the date was August 25, 1933. The degrees were the first to be granted since the recent legislature enactel the enabling law. From the opening selection by the orchestra to the final benediction, the audience was enthralled. History was being accomplished before their eyes! Bellingham Normal was taking its place among the full rank colleges of the nation. Governor Gives Address Governor Clarence D. Martin, after congratulating the pioneer graduates, defended the administration's educational policy in the main commencement address. He bitterly scored the section of the public who have urged the closing of the Normal schools as an economy measure. "Expenditures for these institutions are well justified," the governor declared. He told the graduates that they had incurred no obligation to teach, adding.that, "the important thing is that you have shown an interest in" education." Degrees Are Presented After other speeches by President C. H. Fisher and Dr. W. D. Kirk-patrick, chairman of the board of trustees, the governor, at his own request, • presented the diplomas.

The next Front will be April 4. The Western Front Toxins burned despite warningBy K.L. Hansen and Don Hunger staff editors For the past 11 months, Western's hazardous solventswere burned at Thermal Reduction Company in Ferndale even though the university, was notified inwriting that it could not accept them. On Feb. 28,1988, Western provided TRC with a list of hazardousliquids it wanted to incinerate. TRC Operations Manager Doyle Cahoon responded in a letter, "We cannot accept your laboratory's waste solvents for disposal at this facility." Western Safety Officer JoseHarrison said Western chose the least expensive means of hazardous waste disposal rather than pay the high costs of meeting state and federal standards. Western incinerated an average of 125 pounds ofhazardous solvents per quarter at the * incinerator, Harrison said. He chose this method because of lowcost and disposal regulations that allowed it, he said. Although TRC denies it, Harrison said TRCknowingly accepted the waste, contained in one-gallon plastic milk cartons filled with sawdust, for 18cents per pound to be burned immediately. The university's other option was to pay a contractor $5 to $7per pound to transport the waste to a disposal site in Texas, Georgia or New Hampshire, he said. JimAnderson, TRC president, said incineration of Western's wastes occurred without his knowledge. "Ifthey're disposing of chemicals at TRC, they're in up to their necks in alligators," Anderson said. "I didn'tknow he was doing it." Correct disposal is the responsibility of the generator, he said. "It's up to them totell us what they are bringing, not for us to check on what they have brought." State regulations requirehazardous wastes be incinerated at 2,300 to 2,400 degrees Fahr^ enheit. TRC burns at 1,800 degreesFahrenheit and therefore is unable to accept toxic substances, he said. Wastes are hazardous if theyare flammable, carcinogenic, or toxic. Some examples are acetone, heavy metals, hexane, radioactive isotopes, pesticides, herbicides and fossil fuels. They receive their hazardous designation from thematerial safety data sheet provided by the See Toxic on page 3 Post-season tears Legislature splits onbranch campus vote Jesse Tfnsley^The Western Front Two fans share a tearful moment followingWestern's men's basketball team's 73-67 loss to the Central Washington University WildcatsWednesday. The Wildcats won the NAIA District 1 championship after taking the final game of the best-of-three series against the Vikings. By Eric C. Evarts staff reporter The state legislature cast a split vote Monday on. creating branch campuses for the University of Washington and Washington StateUniversity. The bill failed in the Senate Ways and Means committee, but won approval on the Housefloor. Jim Sullivan, executive director of the Washington Student Lobby called the votes a setback for afull branch campus system. However he emphasized that a key bill is still alive in the in the Senatewhich does not include branch campuses. The Senate bill would increase funding specifically for UW,WSU and Central Washington University. In 1987, legislators appropriated money to increase thequality of education at the state's existing universities but said that was only half the money theybelieved should be appropriated. Sullivan believes the legislature will try to fund the balance of theincrease this session, which won't happen until the state's quarterly economic forecast comes in laterthis month. Harriet Spanel, 40th district state representative, said the House bill appropriates no moneyfor the branch campuses but is just the first step in the whole process. She said she voted against thebill because she is concerned there will not be enough money in the long range to fund branchcampuses, as well as existing universities and community colleges. The branch campuses areexpected to cost the state several hundred million dollars to build and operate over the next 10 to 20years. After the Legislature receives the quarterly economic forecast, it will look at proposals from thegovernor, the Higher Education Coordinating (HEC) Board and from within the legislature. Gov. BoothGardner has proposed increasing Western's enrollment lid by 350, while the HEC Board recommended a 150 student increase. The governor has also asked for a $1.2 million cut in programs for regionaluniversities. Spanel said she hopes those cuts will not be necessary. "I think (the legislature) is trying to work so everybody gets something," Sullivan said. "But I don't think the branch campuses will passfirst." "We have regional universities that haven't been filled for 10 years. I don't think we should bebuilding new universities at the expense of the old ones," Rep. Sim Wilson told the Bellingham Herald.Western has turned away thousands of students because of state-imposed enrollment lids. ---------- Western Front - 1989 March 10 - Page 2 ---------- 2 March 10,1989 The Western Front HHBBHHH Shannon Point receives grant Shannon Point MarineCenter has been awarded a $17,00 grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Instrumentationand Laboratory Improvement program.

Housing anddining rates may jump by 9.8 percent By Sara Britton staff reporter Three students who attended auniversity residences public hearing to discuss on-campus room and board rate increases discoveredthey might have to pay 9.8 percent more for their dorm rooms next year. Under the proposed housingand dining budget for 1989-90, the cost for a double room, 21-meal plan on an academic (three quarter)contract, would increase to $3,100 per year from its current $2,823, said Roger Oettli, businessmananger for the housing and dining system. The rate increase would cover rising costs of operation,particularly in student salaries, and facility improvements, Oettli said. The largest operational increase will be to raise student salaries to meet new state minimum wage standards. Other climbingoperational expenses include cost of electricity (up 10 percent), natural gas (up 4 percent), andwater and sewer rates (up 8.8 percent), Oettli said. "One of the things we're getting is that students want to see better facilities, like computer rooms, better lounges and renovated dining halls," Oettli said.University Residences has received student feedback from Inter- Hall Council and the AssociatedStudents, he said. Even with facility improvement expenditures, Western's rates are lower than those atWashington State University and the University of Washington, Oettli noted. 'It's impossible for us to be the least expensive and offer the best facilities and programs," he said. . University housing anddining rates have increased more than five percent each year since 1986. University Residences willrequest approval of the proposed budget from the Board of Trustees on May 4.

As long as the El Salvadoran government and military act aspuppets of the U.S. administration, the U.S. plays the principle role in bringing the country's bloodyeight-year civil war to an end, he said. With $2 million per day invested in the El Salvadoran war and 200advisers in the country, the United States is the country's military and political driving force, he said."The U.S. has bloodied its hands with ' Salvadoran blood. Now, the solution is also in your hands,"Estrada said. The Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, representing political and militaryopposition to the Salvadoran government, presented a proposal Jan. 23 for a negotiated solution toend the war. It calls for public support of the Democratic Convergence, a political coalition which basesits platform on the popular movement and postponement of next month's national election in order todevelop a new electorate code. Estrada and Rene Hernandez, the U.S. Representative of the GeneralAssociation of Salvadoran University Students, are principle leaders within the Salvadoran studentmovement opposed to the U.S.-backed government. They are on a U.S. tour to gather support for theFMLN proposal. Hernandez said at an earlier press conference, "The day U.S. aid is cut, that sameday we will have 80 percent of our problems solved." In the last six months several university buildingshave been bombed. Active student and faculty demonstrators have, been captured, tortured and killed,and the Salvadoran military now maintains an encirclement of the university, he said. Toxic Continued from page 1 Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration. Anderson expressed dismay thatWestern was disposing of its waste improperly at TRC. "It's disappointing. Hopefully, people (disposing)are informed ... To divert it (hazardous waste) from proper disposal is unacceptable behavior. It'sunfortunate." Harrison said he has anticipated a change in waste disposal procedures for some time."I've seen this looming. I knew this was going to happen ... It wasn't really legal, but I was taking it (toTRC) because I had to get rid of the things." "I've been asking for money all along. But I didn't need tobecause I was able to get it (incinerated) at 18 cents per pound (at TRC). Why strain the budget?"Harrison said several factors have contributed to Western's disposal methods. Campus laboratoriesgenerate an average of 125 pounds of hazardous solvent waste per quarter. The Institute of WildlifeToxicology, at Huxley College of Environmental Studies, produces about 90 pounds of hazardouswaste each quarter. Chem- USE TOUR BRAINS FOR SOME EXTRA CREDIT. At Pacific First webelieve money shouldn't be your learning disability. That's why we offer a wide variety of loans for everytype of student Like guaranteed, retroactive, vocational, out-of-state, and summer school loans. Andthey all can be at the maximum limit allowed by the Department of Education with a minimum approvaltime. So let us help you put your brains to good use. Apply for a student loan at any Pacific Firstbranch today. And get the credit you deserve. Pacific First Federal Class Service istry and Biologydepartment labs produce 15 pounds and 10 pounds per quarter respectively, Harrison said. Incinerationcost the university $22.50 at TRC, while proper disposal by a waste management contractor could costup to $975. Harrison's concern with using a contractor is that they might dump the chemicals illegally,he said. If this happened, Western would be responsible for clean up costs. Nonetheless, theDepartment of Ecology has required Western to use a contractor in the future. Harrison said hissuperior, Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs, Peter Harris, was aware of the hazardouswaste disposal at TRC. "Oh sure, yes, Peter Harris knew," Harrison said. Vice President Harris said, "Ijust don'tknow.Maybelshould.butlwas never aware of any agreement between TRC and Jose." On Jan. 18, Western's solvents were burned at TRC for the last time. Lawrence Ashley, DOE inspector, paidWestern and Harrison a surprise visit Feb. 15 to examine the waste management system and found itat fault. Ashley said in some cases, incinerating hazardous wastes can violate DOE and EPAregulations. "It depends on the volume and the contents. I told them to stop doing that (burning wastes at TRC) and they agreed to."

That has to be clear be fore we can take astrong stance," Ashley said. The DOE will not issue any citations to Western if it complies withregulations and sets up a new program to handle the wastes properly, Ashley said. Two weeks ago,Bill Wilson, director of Western's Instrument Center and chemistry professor, was appointedhazardous waste coordinator. He will develop a hazardous waste recycling and disposal system, which may include a graduate study program. "Federal and state regulations are being put into place,"Wilson said. "Universities are small generators. The regulations haven't reached down into our area, butthey are now. We get the regulations and we're going to have to comply with them." Hazardous wastesare not always in liquid form. The university produces solids too, which are double-bagged, marked"hazardous waste" and then thrown into campus dumpsters, Harrison said. Solid waste from the City ofBellingham, including campus dumpsters, is incinerated at TRC.

Examples are the sciences. "If you're going to really teach science and you're going to have students in the lab, it's going to be a high-priced program ... Areas liketechnology and the sciences, including computer science, are costly in equipment and supplies.Biology, for example, spends a lot of money for lab supplies and that's included within the operatingbudget," Elich said. â€¢ Departments that provide a high number of student credit hours at a relativelyhigh cost. Examples are economics and sociology. "The ratios between dollars spent and these otherthings you're talking about are not ideal," Elich said. "We're constantly trying to fine tune our budget sowe get the most effective use of our money and so we can provide the highest quality programs we canpossibly provide." â€¢ Departments that provide a low number of student credit hours at a relatively lowcost. Examples are music and Huxley College. A low instructional cost is a drawback for the musicdepartment because of market demand, said Bruce Pullan, chairman of the music department. Mostof Western's music instructors are affiliates and several affiliates share a fuii-time equivalent facultyappointment. The difficulty is that the university pays less than an affiliate can earn through privateinstruction, Pullan said. "It's the nature of what we do. There's a great deal of private instruction;that is to say, one student and one instructor," Pullan said. Huxley College also has a low instructionalcost and a low number of student credit hours. That's because Huxley has a fairly large graduateprogram, which requires fewer students per faculty member, and an undergraduate enrollment that hasbeen relatively low over the past several years, Dean John Miles said. The apparent low cost ofinstruction really means that Huxley is underfunded in some areas, Miles said. "Clearly, in somerespects, particularly in terms of scientific equipment, we're hurting. So it reduces the quality of theexperience for the student, to some extent," Miles said.

Others are looking forward to bummingaround the town during the week. Trips to Mazatlan, Hawaii and Aspen are unaffordable for most people,but many would like a couple of days to unwind and do something different from the usual party or movie. Here's a few suggestions to occupy those precious days. Lake wood, Western's own lodge on LakeWhatcom, is an excellent, inexpensive way to have a fun time. The lodge is equipped with picnicbenches, shower facilities and an indoor lounge with fireplace and kitchenette. The boathouse contains16 canoes, several kayaks, sailboards, a 20-foot Melges scow, a 21-foot day sailer, 16 two-personsailboats and an Olympic 470 sailboat. Just show Western I.D., choose either a kayak or canoe, andyou're set. It's free! A basic sailing course and a small fee are required to use the other boats. If natureseems more appealing, try taking a BaldEagle floattour. For$48,floating through the Skagit River BaldEagle Wildlife Sanctuary may be the relaxing ticket to freedom. Professional guides are prepared todescribe the habitat and lifestyle of our country's mascot. A hot, gourmet-style lunch also will be servedat riverside near the halfway point. The big city to the north is merely an hour away for those who want to experience more of a "material" vacation. If sleeping in your car and scarfing down dry cheeseburgers aian Americanized McDonalds tickles your fancy, a trip to Vancouver, B.C. can be affordable. Seriousvacationers, however, will prefer the crunchy bedsheets and nifty shampoo samples of a cheap motel.With a decent exchange rate, a weekend in the Great White North with a six-pack of Molson could beworth the money, eh? Chinatown, Gastown, Gran- The Oregon Coast and California are more than ahop and a skip away, but the spectacular drive down the Pacific Coast Highway is worth the trip. villeMarket and Stanley Park are fun areas for shoppers and sightseers. Robson Street offers a variety ofexcellent stores and restaurants. Another happenin' alternative is taking a roadtrip. Cruise down 1-5 withno destination in mind. Just throw a sleeping bag, a tent, a box of Fruit Loops and a toothbrush into thebackseat. Bring your best buddy and sing along with Mick Jagger to "Honky Tonk Woman." If somethingon the roadside looks interesting, pull over and check it out (but ignore the skunk with the tire tracksacross its head). Copulating cows always make nice photos to send home to Mom. The Oregon Coastand California are more than a hop and a skip away, but the spectacular drive down the Pacific CoastHighway is worth the trip. San Francisco and Disneyland are healthy antidotes for the stressed-outstudent. Lead-footed drivers may even be able to make it to Tijuana, Mexico and back before springbreak ends. Souvenirs at a bargain price can be found there, like a pinata in the shape of the professor'shead who deprived you of an A on your last final. Hanging around our little corner of the Northwest ain't abad idea either. Take the ferry to Victoria, B.C. or the San Juan Islands and make a bike trip out of it.Check out Whidbey Island and explore Deception Pass, Ft. Casey and the historic towns of Langley and Coupeville. And don't forget about the Emerald City â€” it's always a hopping place. If leavingBellingham isn' t an option, jump on a bicycle or pull on your stinky sneakers and explore the nooks andcrannies of this bustling city. Follow the railroad tracks along the bay- Illustration by Tony Tenorfo side or poke around the antique shops downtown. Or, be a couch potato and watch "Hawaii Five-O" rerunswhile drinking Black Label beer and eating canned chili. Imagination, transportation and, of course,money are the only limitations to what can be accomplished during spring break. Just remember â€”the most important thing is being able to relax and forget about school. ---------- Western Front - 1989 March 10 - Page 6 ---------- 6 March 10,1989 The Western Front ORGASM Sexologist promotes sexual rite of spring By NicoleBader and Gail Skurla Accent editors Editors' note: Our last column of the quarter is dedicated to our faithful readers who have come to the conclusion that we are sexually repressed man-haters. Holdonto your underpants. The third annual National Orgasm Week is happening March 20 - 27, right smackin the middle of our spring break. Dr. Roger Libby, "sexologist" and sociologist, has proclaimed theweek to be a sexual rite of spring. With the assistance of his five-foot- six-inch frog named RoxanneRibbit (what does he do with her, anyway?), Libby will promote safe sexual pleasure in Daytona Beach.His press release tells us that lubricated condoms will be handed out/ as will pins and T-shirts thatsay, "I Came for National Orgasm Week." How thoughtful it is for Libby to schedule this event right after finals and just before new classes begin. We can unleash our pent-up urges without shame orembarrassment for seven blessed days. We want to ask this pervert, what's the use? Face it, Libbyâ€” people are going to have orgasms without you butting into their bedrooms (or wherever the impulsetakes them). And if they don't, you and your sleazeball stuffed horny toad won't be able to assist them in doing so. National Orgasm Week is supposedly "devoted to orgasms through self-pleasuring and with sexual partners." Thanks, Dr. Libby, for giving us permission to masturbate, hump or whatever. Whata relief! We can see it now. Hallmark llliliiii â€¢fti will catch on soon and we can send greeting cards to our friends: Once again it's that time of year/ When seasons draw the juices near/ Situations maybecome sticky, but have no fear/ May National Orgasm Week bring you oodles of cheer. If a card isn'tappropriate, then a simple phone call will suffice. "Hello, Nadine?-This is Tony. Just wanted to see howNational Orgasm Week is going for you. So, did you have one last night? Oh, yeah? Was it self-induced or did someone help?" Golly, if this trend catches on, spring break could eventually be calledOrgasm Break. This would be a breakthrough for Libby, who argues that "sexual desire and caringflourish in spite of media-fueled heterosexual AIDS paranoia." Well, of course they flourish! Lust andlove always will be the ties that bind men and women to-' gether. Maybe we have orgasms â€” maybewe don't Our point is, Libby, it's none of your damn business.

BOOKS Main Attraction brings rhythm and blues to VU By Brad Roberts staff reporter The doo-wop a cappella stylings of The Main Attraction will be featured tonight in the Viking Union Lounge as the final installment of Mama Sundays' winter series of musical programs. The show is an annualevent at Western that rhythm and blues fans won't want to miss. The Seattle Post Intelligencer hascalled The Main Attraction Seattle's best vocal group. Although they perform some original material, TheMain Attraction are well known for their interpretations of classic soul hits such as "Under TheBoardwalk," "The Tracks of My Tears," "Duke of Earl" and â€¢ rock standards like "Louie, Louie." TheMain Attraction started out singing on street corners in Seattle's Pioneer Square. They are now a topregional act, having performed at the Northwest Area Music Awards as The Main Attraction plays at 8tonight in the Viking Union Lounge. well as having appeared on several local television programs. Thegroup has also opened tour dates for Smokey Robinson, The Four Tops and Eddie Murphy, amongothers. The four first came together when Tony "The Human Bass" Graves, a Chicago native, decided toform his own group after touring through Seattle as a member of the legendary Ink Spots. Graves, alongwith co-ibunder Lee Conerly, a former University of Washington Ail-American linebacker, recruitedAntowaine Richardson and Ronnie Rowland to form The Main Attraction. Tonight's performance also will be broadcast on KUGS (89.3 FM). The show starts at 8 p.m. Admission is $3 at the door. Rushreleases live 'Hands' By Drew McDougal staff reporter "A Show of Hands," the third and most impressive live album from Canada's "Power Trio," blends the Rush of old with the technologically influenced Rushof today. A compilation of songs from their last three albums, with the welcome addition of two classicsfrom older LPs, "A Show of Hands" is a 73- minute, 14-song compilation of live recordings made duringtheir 1986 "Power Windows" and 1988 "Hold Your Fire" tours. "Hands" expertly performs a marriage ofRush's older, harder driving style to the synthesizer-laden style of the band's recent past. The album'opens with a 53-sec-ond intro used on Rush's last few tours. "The Big Money," the first song on thealbum, bursts with an overwhelming concussion of electronic intensity. Fuither songs off "PowerWindows," "Grace Under Pressure," and "Signals" manage to continue this intensity from start to finish. The patented Rush style of the early '80s, which well established the band in the pages of rock 'n' rollhistory, is brilliantly represented by two songs most highly praised by Rush fanatics and music criticsalike. "Witch Hunt" is a haunting tale of man's striking ability to let the passions of "ignorance andprejudice"; override common sense and the basic sense of human decency. "Closer To The Heart" isone of the most successful Rush songs of all time. It expresses society's need for RliiHRlvlew achange; a change that starts within all of us, to make the world a better place. A crowd favorite, "CloserTo The Heart" is guaranteed to elicit a warm response from any live audience. "The Rhythm Method,"a four-and- a-half-minute drum solo, successfully completes the marriage of old and new found on therest of the album. A blend of elements from past solos with elements of "The Professor's" new-foundtaking to electronic sampling, the solo elegantly shows why Neil Peart is considered by many (if not all) to be the best drummer in the history of rock. On "A Show of Hands," Rush disproves the rock idiom that, "You can never produce live what you can in the studio." This album is a show of transition,maturity and of raw, i:n-paral-leled talent. It's great for the first time listener, a soon-to-be-favorite of theavid fan and a do-not-miss for the Rush fanatic. RELATIONSHIPS WOMAN STUDIES Passages 310W.

"Specific Gravity," aphysics term that measures the ratio of mass between one substance and another, combinesphysical weight with metaphorical qualities. The metaphorical qualities of the art work suggest ananalogy between two different objects or ideas. Each of the four artists' works contain different ideas of "specific gravity." Jack Chevalier's works contain acrylic-painted scenes of Seattle with diamond-shaped wood forms which project through the painted surface. The paintings are "deceptive illusions"because one has to look closely to see if the diamond forms are physically there or just painted on. R. Allen Jensen constructed three-dimensional cube sections placed against a grid. The sectioned cube is made of sheet metal and painted paper. The weightiness of the cube against . the grid makes the cubelook like it's floating in space. Nancy Mee used glass, metal and pictures of women to focus on scoli-Suzan Seniuk's untitled art piece is on unstretched canvas and will be on display until March 18 in theWestern Gallery. osis and how it affects women's physical beauty.

AIRPORT BROKERSCORPORATION (206) 246-6580 By Brad Roberts staff reporter If The Posies ever get as big as theband they're often compared to, Bellingham may become known as New Liverpool. The band's debut LP, "Failure," was called the equal of The Beatles' "Rubber Soul" album by Cash Box magazine, a majorrecord industry trade publication. Cash Box also claimed that "There hasn't been a better pure-poprecord produced by anyone this decade." Although The Posies have since moved to Seattle, the entire"Failure " album was recorded by Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow at Auer's house in Bellingham. The two Posies became four when bass player Rick Roberts and drummer Mike Musburger were added to the lineup. "Seattle's just got a bigger musicians pool," Auer said, explaining the move to Seattle. "Itclicked instantly," Musburger said of the first time the foursome played together. The band citesinfluences from bands like XTC, Squeeze and, yes, The Beatles. Seattle's music press, which iscurrently embracing a grungy rock sound, seems somewhat at odds with The Posies' unabashed pop.Auer noted that the two most negative reviews of "Failure" have come from Seattle publications. "Iguess it's like we don't fit into the underground because we're a little too pop, but we don't quite fit intothe mainstream because we're a little more intelligent," Auer said. "We like to seduce people a little,"Auer continued. "Some people who don't usually listen to pop are thrown a little by the sound of ourrecord." The Posies plan to record a second album soon and hope to have it finished by the end of this summer. A West Coast tour is also being considered. The band has put together a number of newsongs since expanding last May. "The new stuff has more of an Jon Auer edge," Auer said."Ithinkit'sadircct result of the fact that we didn't go record the songs right after we wrote them. Weworked them up as a band and everybody's parts have fallen in." The Posies have been contacted bysome major record labels, but are wary of instant success. "We've gotten lots of calls," Auer said, "butthe theory of this band is to not expect anything and you won't be disappointed."

TheVikings defeated the Concordia College Cavaliers 74-65 in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Bi-District women's championship game in Portland, Ore., last night. Western, which is 29-4,advances to theNAIA National Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. The tournament begins Thursday."We felt like it was our first game at nationals. We had nothing to lose," Western Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "Now we just get to travel east." The Western women's last trip to the national tournament was in1986, when they reached the quarterfinals. Junior forward Alay na Keppler led the Vikings with 22points and sophomore center Cim Hanson added 18 points and 11 rebounds, but one of the biggestcontributors to the victory didn't have a field goal. Junior guard Kerri Browitt scored just one point, butshut down Concordia gunner Laura Jaeger in the second half. Jaeger scored 19 points in the first half,but with Browitt shadowing her she had only four points after halftime and took only five shots. "I hadto stick in her face like crazy because if you leave her open, she doesn't miss," Browitt said. "I justwanted to put enough pressure on her to make her rush her shots." Western never trailed, but never ledby more than eight points until the final second. The Vikings led only 60-57 with four minutes left, butKeppler scored the team's next seven points, giving them a 67-54 lead with only a minute left.Concordia, which won the district 2 championship,ended its season with a 26 and 10 record. It wasthe second time the two teams had met this season. On Dec. 13, senior forward Donna Monette madetwo free throws with one second left giving the Vikings an 80- 79 victory. REJECTION Wildcats stuffVikings 73-67 in overtime thriller By Butch Kamena staff reporter The bizarre homecourt disadvantagereared its head once more Wednesday night. This time, it cost Western's men's basketball team a tripto the NAIA National Tournament. Central Washington University defeated the Vikings in overtime, 73-67, in Carver Gym in the final of the best-of-three championship series to grab the district title and a berth innext week's national tournament in Kansas City. All five times the two teams met this season, the roadteam won. The loss ends Western's season. The Vikings finish the year with a 26-6 record. "Thewhole thing hurts," said senior forward Rich Baxter. "Justlosing, by .one or by 20. Just the loss thatkept us from going to Kansas City." Jesse Tinsley/The Western Front Western Coach Brad Jacksonenviously watches the Central celebration as his wife Debbie, daughter Lynsey and son Kyle offersupport. With 13 minutes left, it seemed the Vikings would be headed for Kansas City. Westernjield a47-35 lead and appeared to be in command. But in the next 10 minutes, the Vikings scored just sevenpoints, and the Wildcats rallied to tie the game, 54-54, on a putback by Carl Aaron with 4:12 left. "I think we got a little tentative," Western Coach Brad Jackson said of the drought. "We had some good shotsthat didn't go in. When you get in that situation, you want to do well so badly that I think you get a littletight." Aaron was a thorn in the Vikings' side all night, as he finished with 34 points. "When Carl's onhe's a tough project to stop," Central Coach Dean Nicholson said. "This was a great game. I have a lot ofrespect for their team." Each team had a chance to win in the last minute of regulation. Central let itschance get away when Jock White's pass to Aaron went out of bounds with 11 seconds left. Westernthen had the last shot, but pressure by Brian Gerig slowed Ray Ootsey bringing the ball upcourt, andOotsey was forced to fire a 40-footer that hit the backboard, then bounced off the rim and tied the score.Central won the tip to start the overtime and 17 seconds later, Alphonso Goldwire hit a three-pointer toput- the Wildcats ahead for good, 63-60. Goldwire had played a total of two minutes in the first twogames of the series, scoring three points. On Wednesday, he scored nine points in 14 minutes. "Afternot playing so much, I wanted to . prove I was a legitimate player," Goldwire said. "Once we got toovertime, we really pulled together." Senior forward Rod Whatley led Western with 18 points. Ootseyadded 16. "I feel like we've brought our program to a point where we're a legitimate top 20 team,"Jackson said. "Our players are confident we can compete with anybody. "We've come.a long way inthree years. Every year, the series has gone down to three games. All of our players can feel real goodabout what they've accomplished." ^9 ^^S^^^^^U^^^^^M iSiHiiitlf Ulalisiit H H i iHHIiiiii lost (111-56) i i l i i M l l li ItfMPIiip amtts HBttl nnmiii lil|lil|l tiHiiitiii lost (69-53) i l i a l i i l l ll liii|i|il liiiiipiiili IgijIliHl!

Although "tackle basketball" might be a littleexaggerated, it is in no way misleading in terms of Western forward Rich Baxter's physical play on the court. In fact, Baxter's tough defense and physical play has led to other team members saying thatonce you have been defended by Baxter, you've been "Baxterized." "Defensively Rich is one of the best,if not the best, player on our team," said men's Coach Brad Jackson. "He's so tough, no one likes to play against him." Baxter, a 6-foot 3-inch forward, is one of five seniors on Western's team who are playingtheir last season. During his three years at Western he has become one of the most improvedplayers on the team and a fan favorite. When he first arrived at Western, however, his chances of evenmaking the team were minimal. "I rarely played in high school," Baxter said. "I would see a minute ortwo at most and averaged only one or two points a game." After high school Baxter walked on to a teamat a small Christian school in Kansas. He made the team there and played one season before hetransferred to another small Christian school in Fresno, Cal. Baxter was unhappy with the way thingswere run at the school so he began searching elsewhere. "I wanted to go to a school somewhere inthis region since this is where I'm from," said Baxter, whose home is in Olympia. "I sent letters tocoaches from a number of schools and Brad was the only coach who responded personally. In a letter he sent he asked me to get in touch with him and he'd give me a look." Jackson invited Baxter to come up and try out for the team and told him if he could make the team as a red shirt (sitting out one seasonwithout losing any eligibility) that he would make the team and get a good chance to play the nextseason. "Rich came up and gave it his all and made the team as a red shirt," Jackson said. "Hisinexperience showed but his persistence to improve and hard work ethic impressed me." Baxterpracticed hard during his red shirt season and made the team as an active player the next. He didn't see much playing time in the begin- Monette fuels Vikes' spark with energy, enthusiasm By Chris Webbstaff reporter It's the little things players do that help teams win games and even championships. DonnaMonette does the little things in a big way in helping the success of Western's women basketball team.The 5-feet 9-inch reserve forward's aggressive, energetic play on the court and vocal encouragement fromthe bench make her the inspirational leader of Western's National Association of IntercollegiateAthletics District 1 championship team. "She is our spiritual leader, she lifts the team with herenthusiasm," Coach Lynda Goodrich said. Monette, a senior, came to Western four years ago fromSouth Kitsap High School with high credentials. She was a three-time all-Narrows League choice in highschool and averaged 15 points, 12 rebounds and 5 steals as a senior. It was difficult to come off thebench at first, Monette said of her reserve role. "But then I came to accept my role on the team." Herrole as a reserve since her freshman year, hasn' t affected the respect of her teammates either, who voted her team captain the past two years. Goodrich looks for Monette's energy and enthu siasm to helpchange the tempo of the game. "She gives us a lift off the bench offensively and defensively," Goodrichsaid. Monday's NAIA District 1 championship game against Simon Fraser University showed howimportant a role player Monette can be. Monette came off the bench early in the first half to score fourstraight points, giving Western its first lead of the game. The points were the beginning of a Vikingscoring surge that also helped to shift the momentum and give Western a seven-point halftime lead.Monette thrives on the competition and pressure involved in basketball games and her experience andconfidence help the team in crucial situations of a game. An example was Dec. 13, when Western played Concordia College in Portland, Ore. Concordia was leading by one point with one second left in thegame and Monette was at the foul line. "It's something I've always dreamed of," Monette said of theopportunity. "I had put myself in the same situation during the practices previous to the game," she said. "Their coach called timeout to try and ice me but I knew I would make them (the free throws)." Monettewas good on her word. She made both shots to give Western a 80-79 victory. "It's funny, those were myonly points of the game," she said. Goodrich said it's always a pleasure to have a player like Monette on the team. "I've never known her to come to practice or a game not enthusiastic and ready to play,"Goodrich said. ning of the season but as he improved Jackson worked him into the games. "Rich is atenacious guy with a huge heart," Jackson said. "As the season progressed he learned to combine hisphysical skills with his mental skills. Last season we were very cautious about his shooting. He wassporadic, but this year he's shooting real well and has made some big shots for us this season." Oneof those big shots came in the regular-season win at Central Washington University, when Baxter ' hit athree pointer late in the second half to give the Vikings their first lead since early in the first half. TheWildcats never regained the lead and Western won its first game in 17 years at Central. Baxter startedthe last three games of the regular season and averaged 9.7 points per game. Defensively he averages4.1 rebounds per game and is one of the team leaders in steals. Baxter relates his improvement to anumber of different aspects, all of which pertain to his faith in God. This summer Baxter participated in a"walk with Christ" program which allowed him to get a better one-on-one relationship with God. "I set afew things in my mind this summer to help improve myself and my play /'Baxter said. "I decided that Ididn't want anything to get in my way, so I cut down on parties and drinking and anything that may harm my health. I had a complete change of lifestyle and my walk with Christ helped me accomplish that."Baxter said he will only give something a 100-percent effort or it isn't worth doing. When practicing hesaid the effort is the same as a game; the difference is the excitement. "I believe that God wants me to be successful. So if I work hard for myself, he will work even harder for me," Baxter said. Ending hiscareer as a player for Western is hard for him, though he wishes to remain a part of the team as astudent assistant. Baxter wants to finish his degree in physical education and continue to work withthe team saying that it's a great feeling being associated with a winning program. "Finishing my careeris a bittersweet feeling. I wish I had one more year with the team as a player because I'mimproving," he said. With the playoffs and Baxter's playing days at Western over, the fans will are likelyto miss, but not forget, his brand of "tackle basketball." Jesse Tinsley/The Western Front VikingCoach Lynda Goodrich, left, says Donna Monette, shown celebrating the NAIA District 1 championship, always comes to practices and games enthusiastic and ready to play. Western team sails into victoryTwo Western sailing team members sank the spirit of the Royal Roads Military College as Westernclinched first place at the Victoria, B.C. school's Springfest Regatta on March 4 and 5. The team of TomKrabbenhoft and Michelle Wilkinson sailed into first place by five points over seven other schoolsincluding the University of Washington, Seattle University, Portland State and the University ofVictoria. "We sailed fast and strong," Krabbenhoft said. The team was behind after eight races onSaturday, but battled back during four races on Sunday despite shifty winds to blow past theiropponents and capture the victory.

"We're (Western) excited about this meet but may not bequite ready because of the weather," Western coach, Kelvin Halsell said. "We've got some outstandingathletes," Halsell said. "As far as the men go, I think our chances look really good at the district level."But, realistically, there's not much chance of our women winning district or even placing second. We'rein a rebuilding period." Sprinter Brian Estes and hurdler Kelly Susee return to pace the men's hopes.Estes set a school record at 200 meters and tied the Western mark in the 100 meters as he won bothevents at district and anchored the 4x100-meter relay team to a come-from- behind victory. Susee, adefensive back for Western's football team, captured the 110-meter hurdles crown (14.88).

Members in the boat consist of the "brains" of the boat,.the coxen, and the "blood and guts" of theboat, the rowers. The coxen's responsibilities are to motivate the rowers and steer the boat and therowers contribute the physical energy. Crew is a mental sport. 'You have to be mentally ready for a raceand ready to hurt," women's Coach Pete Jackson said. "If you hurt at the end of a race you know you'vedone your job." Both teams are looking strong this year.

Western's hazardous wastes were burned at unsafe levelsfor four years, putting the health of Whatcom County residents at risk. Western's own safety officer, Jose Harrison, knew federal and state regulations were not being followed, yet he continued to dispose of thewaste in the same way. State regulations require hazardous wastes be incinerated at highertemperatures than Thermal Reduction Company incinerators can create. But instead of hiring acontractor to dispose of the waste safely, a low-cost, unsafe alternative was used. Harrison cited lowcost as a reason for continuing to incinerate the waste at TRC. He should have insisted on getting abudget that would have allowed safe disposal. The money he saved may be paid in fines if theDepartment of Ecology cites Western. Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs Peter Harrisshould have known about the problem for at least the past year because he was on the hazardousmaterials policy board. A committee, of which Harrison and Harris were a part, enacted a policy last year to "establish a uniform standard for handling hazardous materials." The people who put the system inplace didn't use it. If these safety policies were ignored, who knows what other hazards are being leftuntended. Our safety officers should be fighting for money, instead of endangering students, faculty andstaff. K.C. or bust Thud. That's the sound of a few Western basketball fans jumping off the bandwagon.They're forgetting a season that was full of entertainment and upsets.

He had no history of heartproblems, so there was basically no reason for him to die. Ramirez, a senior from Ohio, is the firstathlete whose death has been linked officially to the use of steroids. The coroner said it was his strong opinion that the use of anabolic steroids did in some way contribute to Ramirez's death. Ramireztold others before he died that he used steroids because he wanted to get big and get girls. Pick up acopy of Muscle Fitness or Flex magazine these days, and the first response from the averageAmerican is: "Those guys are on steroids." The world of bodybuilding is being swamped with the imageof men shooting up to get big. Steroids are now synonymous with bodybuild- Jeff Walker staff reporter . ing, and its use is not limited to the pros. The Food and Drug Administration commissionerestimates that 10 percent of all high school students use steroids. And steroids have already claimedtheir first casualty. Well, gang, its a shame that the youth in America are willing to flirt with danger inorder to impress girls and become more muscular. Oh, I admit that I lift weights to make myself moreattractive to the opposite sex. And I also admit that Lou Ferrigno is my idol, and I hope to someday beas big as him. But I'm not willing to chance it all by shooting up. Maybe the teens don't know howdangerous anabolic steroids are. Maybe they don't know steroids can cause physical and psychologicalside effects, among them liver and kidney disorders and tendon damage. And maybe, the educationsystem in this country hasn't done a very good job of informing students about steroids. The schools inAmerica are doing their best to inform students about AIDS, alcohol abuse and drug abuse, but they'reskipping over something that's being used in their own locker room. Why isn't information about steroidsbeing passed out with the rest of the pamphlets? Something needs to be done about steroids. Untilsomething is done, students will continue to use them in hopes of muscle growth. But in reality, thecase against steroids is the only thing that keeps getting bigger.

English department needs at least five more faculty ... English departmentprofessors are too old and no longer teach energetically." I propose a creative scenario â€” oneexchange, two moves, three benefits. Everybody profits; nobody pays; problems solved! First, reprisebiology professor Don N. Williams, that "Western knows how to 'kick butt"' savant of sparkling satirebrightening the last few issues of the Front. Transfer Williams to the English department. His crisp,crunching written rhetoric could serve as the quintessential model for all those struggling students whofail writing and can't pass the Junior Writing Exam. "Bust your butt with Williams!" Second, in exchange one of those many decrepit English professors could lease himself to the biology department. Biologystudents would glory in a handsome specimen for the study of aging, decomposing human organisms.Third, the no-extra-cost feature would be sure to charm the purse strings of the state Legislature, theWestern Board of Trustees and the â€¢ELECTRONIC REFUNDS* 1040 EZ/$15.00 VISA/MastercardAcceptable 10 Years Experience 1325 Lincoln St Bellingham, Wa in Discovery Park Call 671-4810 or966-5911 administration. Everybody profits; nobody pays; problems solved! Applause, please! ErhortA.Schinske professor emeritus, speech pathology and audiology Triple inequity deemed unfair Editor,As I leaf through another edition of our beloved Front, I can't help but point out some obvious inequitiespresent. 1. Why should a portion of my hard-earned tuition dollars go to support campus housing anddining when I have never, nor ever will live on campus? 2. A fee of $9 is substantial, but a $25 fee for ahealth clinic I have never, nor ever will visit strikes me as being unfair. (I am privately insured). 3. At the possible fear of being unjustly labeled a racist, I would like to point out a quote by Western's ownadmissions director: "Ethnic minorities are always given special . considerations." How can raciststatements such as this be tolerated in a land where "all men are created equal"? Robert Merhautsenior, history major Bogus bike ban unenforceable Editor, Who really cares if there's a ban onbicycles? Yes, Tammy, you remember bicycles â€” those things we all had to ride because wecouldn't get a license as kids. I know it's hard to believe, but some of us still can't afford a car. Now youwant to stop us, but the funny part is that you can't. Do you think our beloved campus security can doanything? Nooooo! Do you think Bellingham's finest want to do anything about it? Nooooo! They'reoverworked as it is without enforcing such a petty ruling as a ban on efficient transportation. But you go ahead and make your ban, Tammy. I don't care if there's an officer there or not. Suppose, for amoment, that they would bother enforcing it, and suppose they try to stop a cyclist. They would nevercatch someone on a mountain bike through campus anyway. They can't catch them on foot, and Idoubt they would try plowing through crowds of people with their police cruisers (we'd have to ban copson campus) or drive up and down stairs. And the poor bikers who can't get away will have an easymethod for clearing themselves of all blame and responsibility. They simply put on their good ol' RonnieHalloween masks and say, "I don't recall, as I was on medication at the time." Dave Middleton senior,psychology major Islam religion needs respect Editor This is a letter in rebuttal to Leila Logan's letter"Islam fanatics forget mortality." Ms. Logan seems to forget, or not even realize, that Islam is areligion that a large population of this world follows. Islam teaches that Mohammed is not the "Son ofGod" but represents the words of our God. The Koran is as sacred to Islamic believers as the Bible issacred to (ZP'4.

Harbor Center, Suite 170 1801 Roeder Ave,Bellingham you. Our religion is not that of a people who commit acts of terrorism â€” that is the currentpolitical position of one Islamic leader, Khomeini, and there is a segment of fanaticism such as thatexhibited by Khomeini in every religion, let me remind you! We have not made Mohammed the holy one,we have noticed his example and followed the one and only book that was given to him by God. If Ms.Logan wants respect for her religious position, she might extend some to others like her. If she thinks Iam like the Ayatol-lah Khomeini, perhaps she is leaving herself open to being accused of resemblingJimmy Swaggart. Thanks to the support of my friends and the person who helped me write this letter. Irealize I am not the only one who feels this way. DinaAl-Shorif senior, psychology major Mixup closesblood drive Editor, Mr. Robert Horn and others were inconvenienced and perplexed by the early closureof a recent Western Washington University blood drive scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. I was equallydismayed to learn of this mixup. It resulted from a misunderstanding on the part of our staff. In order to preserve the unstable components of donated blood, the blood must be processed soon after it iscollected. Our staff at the drive were under the mistaken impression that all the blood ; collected had tobe sent to the airport by 3:30 in order to make the last flight to Seattle. When unexpectedly largenumbers of donors presented themselves near the end of the blood i drive, the staff felt they had to close the registration center early in order to complete, by the 3:30 deadline, the collections from those whohad already registered. As it turned out, other transportation arrangements could have been made,and the opportunity for a number of people to donate badly needed blood was lost. We have reviewedthis problem and the transportation schedules with our phlebotomists to ensure that this problem doesnot reoccur. We very much appreciate the generous cooperation of Western students in the bloodprogram and apologize to all who were turned away. We hope that we can count on the continuedcommitment of the Western community to provide this life-saving resource.

Basketball Team Goes On Tour ORATORS ARE TO ALLISON DEBATE CUP OBJECT OF DEBATERS With Professors Rashkopf and Hoppe, coaches, and Miss Cummins, a member of the forensic committee, doing the supervision work the Normal debating teams are thoroughly preparing themselves to bring back the Allison Debate Cup from Cheney. That "we must bring the cup back," is the sentiment expressed by practically everyone in the school. The whole school stands behind the debators iii their determination to bring home £he cup. Miss Rokes, Miss Inga Benson,, and Mr. Mason Hall will defend the affirmative; and Miss Stoughton, Miss Spaight and Mr. Oliver Ingersoll will defend the Negative. The question to be debated is: Resolved, That the Phillipine Islands be given their Independence by 1930. This question. is much in the limelight at the present time and it is believed that a strong case can be made by both teams. lALULASSJO" The class graduating this quarter consisting of twenty-seven members, has organized and elected Miss Beatrice Dahlquist, as president, preparatory to its commencement in March. The other members of the class are as follows: Bjoi'klund, Olga A.; Burdick,.

MISS OLIVE EDENS Normal Loses First Game; Then Wins Second Easily A large crowd was present in the Normal gym Friday night, when the strong Ellensburg basketball team defeated the local Normal "five" 23 to 14. The close guarding and excellent team work of the local men held the visitors from running up a large score during the game. Hughes, our star forward, was off color Friday, as he could not seem to locate the basket; he made shot after shot from every place on the floor, but missed every time by a narrow mai'gin. Both teams played a very clean game, few personal fouls being called during the game. The visitors made the first basket and kept the lead throughout the entire game. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 10 in their favor. The visiting center, F. Robinson, played a star game, making 15 out of 23 points for them. Line-up: Bellingham.

Cheney Normal's journal has excellent editorils and one column is turned oyer to "'.Tinimie's Letter," which is, by the way, very clever. Poor Jimmy! How many, many boys feel that way soon after they come to a Normal school! Perhaps its their youth, however. "The Yellow Jacket" will be presented at Cheney soon by the Drama League of Spokane. Wish we could be there, too. The Centralia high school paper shows some of the true spirit of a high school, that is, fun on top and deep thought well expressed, and a real school spirit below the surface. Their paper is strictly devoted to school affairs and expressed in a clear cut manner. Several new courses are to be introduced in Centralia, for example. Solid Ceonictry. Argumentation, Social Science and Applied Art and He-signing. We are informed by the College Exchange from W. S. C, that Budic Olt-maii, of Bellingham. has just been initiated by the "Scabbard and Blade" military honor society; that Lulu Sells, also of Bellingham. has been pledged by the Phi Mu Beta, honorary education society: that Man son Fisher has been appointed a member of a committee "to pass on movies, plays, and lectures to prevent conflict and to 'assure diversity of entertainment." We also have received from the W. S. C. a set of interesting articles which we will be glad to loan to any of the students. Last, but not "least, the Dice Club is scheduled to appear in Bellingham sometime in February. Williamette (Salem, Oregon.) University, presented with great success Ibsen's drama, "A Doll's House."

Forty seniors received their diplomas from that school last week. How we envy you your sleigh-riding, you North Centralites, Spokane. Wash. An interesting interview with a policeman on the subject of dancing is one of the features of this issue. A committee has been formed to keep in touch with pupils through four years of high school and correspond with them- after graduating. This, school shows through its columns a great spirit —one that is going to keep its ideals and its perfect citizenship on the pinnacle on which it now stands. "The Tahoma," from the Stadium High School, Taconia. Wash., has a new department, "Bavings of a Milk Fed Prophet," which is clever and good.

It is reported that several members of the faculty have written to Miss Edens, addressing their letters to the steamer Aquiatania with orders to toss the letters overboard in order that they may say they have had letters accepted by the Atlantic. NORMAL LOSES FIRST: WINS SECOND EASILY (Continued From Page One) the hard fighting of the whole team supplied the fans with plenty of thrills. Not a point was made during the first ten UKI a half, minutes of some of the hardest and fastest playing ever viewed by local fans. . Bellingham scored the first point when Yanderford shot a basket from a difficult position, causing the crowds to go completely wild. The team kept the lead all through the first half, ending it with-two baskets and two free throws, a total of (• points, while Ellensburg had •aptured two baskets. •Yanderford started the second half by making a basket in the first minute of play, after which Ellensburg immediately got a burst of speed and shot in six points, making them 10, also giving them the lead, which they lost when l gt;ellinghant made a basket and tied the score. The s gt;joro remained tied until the last few minutes of the third quarter, when the local "five" forged -ahead.-.and made shot after shot from every position on the floor. The last few seconds of the play was very'interesting, the losing team trying hard to catch up, but with no avail. The Bellingham Normal outplayed their opponents from the start, being faster and lighter, and having the advantage of the larger gym floor. They played all around the heavier players of the Ellensburg Normal. Captain Victor Hughes kept the Ellensburg team on the defense most of the game by his continued shooting. Time after time he would throw for the bas.ket from one side of the floor and beat the opponents to the ball shooting again from the other side. Vic Hughes is of the hardest workers on the team and is having hard luck at present getting baskets. The entire game was considered by basketball fans as being a very clean one, there being only one personal foul made in the first half and less than eight in the whole game. Line-up: Bellingham.

Here is the result: W gt;m. -Tones and Miss Lucy Anderson were offered at public auction at my farm, one mile east of a beautiful cluster of roses and two white calves before a background of farm implements too numerous to mention in the presence of about 70 guests, including two milk cows, six mules and one bob sled. Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial knot with 200 feet of hay rope, and the bridal pair left on one good John Deer gangplow for an extended" trip with interest at 7 per cent. They will be at home to their friends with' one good talking machine and a few kitchen utensils aften ten months from date of sale to responsible parties.

The 7B Science class is very busily engaged in making charts of the different cones. A very unusual treat was given the 7thA Science class on Thursday afternoon, when they were allowed to use the machine for throwing pictures on the screen in Mr. Philippi's room in connection with their study of days. Each pupil made a report on his or her favorite dog and as the picture was thrown on the screen the report was given.

(A Synopsis) —Mary B. Egbert..... The things I think, the things 1 feel Are known to me as very real; They form an inner life apart I'i'om all material forms of art. My brother's thoughts I may not know, Not even those of friend or foe. Until express'd by tongue or pen. I'n comprehensive terms to men. Amotions too may burn within. Unknown to strangers, kith or kin, Till we by word or deed impart The secret treasures of our heart. Herein doth lie our u^e of style For by its use, we reconcile The outer form with inner truth. Style's outward body visible Must be to man infallible Expressive of emotions mine As well as thoughts and felings thine In written words it must appear And not by sounds thai men can hear. If mortal mind is then inIpress'd By what he finds in words express'd The term of clearness is applied On which for meaning he relied. If his emotions are impressed It comes thru Force by Style possess'd. The niiin aesthetic too may feel Response within to Style's appeal, And this impressing tptality : Is Elegance','undoubtedly. This outward body's built of marks Of dots and circles, lines and arcs, They indicate to man some sound Artkulative organs found. These sounds make words that by consent And common usage now present The unrealities obscure With clearness in our literature. Our language then, to man conveys, Emotions, thoughts and thus portrays By Clearness. Force and Elegance Our intellectual advance. The source of words, we would suggest Is men who know and speak the best. Our words must be of good repute Have meanings men dare not dispute. Xo local terms nor technical Should mar our language vehicle, And present usage too mush share A part in our selective care. Xow ni.arks make words, and words we find, Form sentences of ev'ry kind. When groups of sentences unite .To form a paragraph in type, ;And paragraphs make larger Wholes Embracing all within their folds, We have our body visible. Before the whole is well allied Three principles must be applied. The first of these is Unity The oneness of reality; Made visible by human art in which our words are but a part. All thoughts must cluster round about One central point and not without. A second principle is Mass Arresting sight ere it can pass, Applied externally by norm To give o u r outer body form. Our third, Coherence is the last Relating parts and binding fast, By striking out all useless draff. Each sentence, words and paragraph. Tii meanings, well denoted, stand Our source of all from ev'ry land. Our choice of tools, connoted well Emotions keen must fully tell.

The statement as printed reads: "Under the 30-10 plan less money would be raised on' a statewide unit while the county tax would remain the same." The correct reading is as follows: "Under the 30-10 plan less money would be raised on a distrk-t basis, more would be raised on a statewide unit while the county tax would remain the same." ST.

There are all sorts of bores, dry bores, chatty bores, scrappy bores, gluan bores, etm., etc. etc. Up here we have all the fifty-seven varieties: The field is too wide. Let's narrow it. Consider the class-room bore; he studies not, neither does he think. He knows more than the instructor himself and asks that dignitary to "stop and think." He interrupts an explanation to prose on about "putting it another way," or "in other words," or "that is to say." "While another person is reciting he shakes his head and waves his hand aloft. When not arguing he reads the Saturday Evening Post. Verily, he is the biggest bore. -. Then there is the "cute" girl bore; the little "cut-up" who laughs and whispers and pinches.and jumps. She is convulsed with laughter at her own witticisms. Her contributions to the discussion are not very illuminating, and her grades are D and C. She is very sensible compared with the third type, the borrowing bore. It would not be so bad if this bore stopped at dimes and fountain pens and note paper. It's when he or she begins to borrow lesson plans and reading reports that we get tired. Moral courage is a nice thing to have around but we hate to trot it out every day in refusing the borrowing bore. We could hold this talk for an hour or two. We just remember that Ave are being the worst of all bores, ourselves—a complaining bore. B. S.N. S. MOVIES. TILLIE. That Avas Mary Anne's best chum's name.Tillie was crazy over the movies. She had seen "The Lost Soul" for 24 consecutive Sunday evenings without missing a single installment. She had a framed picture of Douglass Reed over her bureau and a picture of Wallace Chaplin in her locket. She was secretly convinced that she was a great tragic actress. " I t makes me mad, she said to Mary Anne. "They scold us for going to the movies. They've got a machine an' an operator and everything up here. If they'd put on a few good films Ave'd all flock to see 'ein." •"'.•... They took Tillie's advice and sliOAA^ed "Our Mutual Friend." Tillie and Mary Anne heard about it and sniffed, "High brow! Not for us. They Avent to see "The Infernal Triangle," and afterAvards, "Why Willie Left Home." "Our Mutual Friend" Avas shown to a good many empty seats. It Avas a good play, too. Plenty of thrills, action, suspense, romance. And you Avouldn't come to see it. . Are Ave the four and one-half percent after all? Not AAdien Ave turn from the screen version of a masterpiece to the witnessing" of silly, unenduring trash. B. S. N. S. HAIL ANID FAREWELL f gt;0 AVE ONLY imagine it or is the sky really grayer and gloomier than it AA^as last Aveek. The campus certainly looks bleak and lonelA'. The halls are darker and chillier. Even this poor old paper looks bare and woe-begone. A good many of us tiptoe by Boom 216 with averted faces and a queer, catchy feeling in our throats; We look as if we had lost our best friend. Well, we have lost her—for six long months. Who Avas it that said, "Parting is such sAveet sorrow?" Whoever it was, he was all Avrong. All wrong. Since the announcement of Dr. Nash's coming resignation, no bloAv has fallen so heavily on the school as Miss Edens going aAvay. Everyone who loves her, and that means everj^one who'knows her, feels as if a vital part of the school AArere missing. The poor Messenger class, in particular, feels the solid earth caA*e in and the Avails begin to tumble doAvn. An infallible test for judging a teacher; ask the taught. And, in Miss Edens' case, Ave all answer in chorus, "She's our ideal; jolly and light-hearted, hard'working and sincere, frank and sympathetic. She is the best ever." Cheer up! She's coming back. That's some consolation. We'll be good Avhile you're away, Miss Edens. We'll forget all the slang Ave knoAV, eliminate " a i n ' t " and "he don't," and develop astounding vocabularies. Never more shall the split infinitive or that old sneak, the dangling participle, ruin our force and clearness. Not once shall "grim reaper" or "in our midst" profane these pages. Bon voyage! (Avhich is all the French AA^e know, and we hope it's all right.) Have a AAronderful time and enjoy your Avell earned rest to the fullest. You deserve it. But be sure to come back to Normal next September, just brimming OArer Avith energy and subjects for feature stories. A hearty AArelcome to our neAv Critic. We Avish her the best thing possible—that she be like Miss Olive Edens. On our OAAII this week. Like it? TO BE HELD TONIGHT Tonight at 7:15 the Seniors will congregate in the auditorium to enjoy a program of class talent, and a new year mixer. Among the numbers will be: stunts, songs, play of the entertainment and Hall's quartet, readings by Nell Henry, and "Bee" Dahlquist; dance numbers by Walton Biggerstaff. For muscially inclined students, Williams Normal Orchestra has promised to play several modern classic pieces. Then for the gymnasium, lots of new games, and ••splendiferous" excitement, followed by abundant refreshments. The committees are as follods: Games—Miss Mary Long, Marion Collier. Befgreshments—Mary Collins, Esther Windley, Ralph Miller. Social—Mary Wood, Margaret Spaight and Estill Cain. B. S. N. S. Porter (to Miss Edens): "It's getting late, ma'am. Don't you think it's time for you to retaliate?" r gt;. s. 1ST. S. Mr. Hunt: "What do you mean by) dairy products?" . Student: "Oh, milk, eggs, cottage chees and' other vegetables." A stirring address was delivered at last Wednesday's assembly by Professor E. J. Klemme, of our own faculty. Mr. Klemme is widely knoAvn throughout the state and everywhere that he is known he is regarded as a platform lecturer of the highest ability. Professor Klemme is a member of our Extension department and it is largely due (to his work in this field that the Bellingham State Normal has such a Avide and prominent reputation as ah institution of higher learning. Professor Klemme's message was on the theme "How Old Art Thou?" He dealt with his subject not as age is regarded as physical years, but from age in worth and experience. The students were one-hundred percent attentive to 'Mr. Klemme's remarks. At times the audience Avould be doubled up in laughter at his humor, which is of an exceedingly individual type, at other times they would be held, tense when some vital points were given to them. There were intervals during the address when if a pin should have been dropped on the assembly floor it Avould have been plainly audible. — B. S. N. S. Gossips are the spies of life.

Mr. Kolstad lias been doing much research work on this line for the last few years and he has yet found only enough material for a small pamphlet. As an example, Mr. Kolstad said his psychology instructor when she woke up in the morning and heard the whistles blow, would see a dark, pui'pleish streak flash across the draperies. She saw sounds, in other words. A famous French philosopher says the French vowels are to him colored. While speaking French the colors' of each vowel pass before him. Mr. Kolstad says they have on record the case of a young design teacher, whenever she ran out of designs she would attend either a syphonie concert or an opera. As she listened, the music would take different forms and designs. She would take these down as they came to her. Different types of music, of course, would furnish different types of designs. This is called Synaestesia, and it means simply this, the arousal of secondary sensation through primary sensation".

There are very few Normalites who do not know Sam, but the fact that he is going to play on the fat man's basketball team may help to identify him to those who are not numbered among his acquaintances. When interviewed by a Messenger reporter, Mr. Ford was very modest, and only after much persuassion divulged information concerning his past experiences. Mr. Ford graduated from Ellensburg high school in 1912, with high honors, not only in scholarship but in athletics, having been captain of both the football and basketball teams. He entered the pre-medical school of the State University in the fall of 1912, but was forced to withdraw on account of sickness. He earned his way while at the University ' by machine-shop and paper work. After leaving the Univer-servecl an apprenticeship in the Seattle- Astoria Machine Works, graduating in 1914. At this point in the interview Sam seemed to have forgotten ye scribe, was apparently oblivious of his immediate surroundings, and appeared lost in contemplation of his land of memories. He continued his story as follows: '•After leaving the Seattle-Astoria Machine Works. I spent several months on a trip through the Southern states earning my way as a boomer-machinist. Those were the good old days. In June of 1917 I entered the army aviation service at Seattle. In August of the same year I became an instructor of aviation, mechanics at dielly Field, San Antonio, Texas. I was finally put in charge of a hangar and took advantage of this by taking flights in the air." A chuckle escaped Sam as he continued, "I didn't like to eat the Kelly Field dust and on my own hook took leave of absence for none and one-half days in an attempt to get across the pond, where I could get a little mud. I was escorted back to Kelly Field from Pittsburg by two officers and introduced to a pick and shovel. Outside of this incident I was always a good fellow. I was discharged from the army in January, 1919. Shortly afterwards I made a trip to Alaska as engineer on one of the A. P. Fisheries boats." Mr. Ford has just recently accepted a position with the Herald and Reveille, which will take up his spare time hours.

Old Bill Jones had a kicking mule He couldn't cure. The gol-dern fule Would kick all night and kick all day; Hoist up his heels while eatin' hay. He'd "hee haw" like a demon's screech; He'd hit at ev'rythin' in reach; And when his eyes saw nothin' there, He'd kick away' at the empty air. But Bill is sure the wisest cuss: He didn't raise a nasty fuss, Ner trade the nmle ter an innercent. He knew what conservation meant. He fixed a harness, strong and tight,- Till that mule's heels was a wondrous sight, And then, with pulleys, belts and wheels, He utilized them wasteful heels. At every kick the wheels would turn; He pumped the water, ran the churn, Did the washin', sawed, the wood, Ground the feed and pround it good; Chawed the pigs to sausage meat; Baled the hay and threshed the wheat: Dug the ditches, laid the tile; Stretched the wire fence more'n a mile; Chopped the silage, shred the corn; Milked the cows both night and morn; Turned, the cattle out to graze; Dried the wash on stormy days; He ran a little dynamo, And, as his feet zipped to and fro, They stored the wily 'lectric juice In batteries for future use: So house and bam were lighted well, With current left enough to sell, Till no one need to go without, 'Who lived within ten miles about. In fact, Bill Jones grew rich and fat, Which isn't to be wondered at. He'd caught the secret of the hour, The harnessin' of wasted power. Some genius of inventive mind Should study hard and method find To muzzle, rope or tie the men Who wasted their force in kicking when PACIFIC LAUNDRY Blankets Cleaned, Carded and Made Like New.

Two extension classes have recently been organized. A class in Sedro- Woolley. which has an enrollment of thirteen and Miss Long, from the Physical Education Department, as a teacher, was started January 81. On February 3, a class in penmanship was started at Burlington. Miss Cragg will teach the class. At present there arc twelve members.

The Nichols Hall girls are planning a party in honor of Mrs. Nicnols, next Saturday evening. Rubv Sunde spent the week-end in Seattle. Edith Linde and Gertrude Seniles spent the week-end at the home of the hitter's uncle, L. J. Senilis, at Laurel. Miking in a northeasterly for two and a half hours is rather chilly, say they. Carol Rahskopf was the dinner guest of Alic-e William, Friday evening. Ruth Church liked to throw snow balls. Last .week when the ground was covered with flakey white snow, the temptation to throw just a tiny snow-bail at her chum was too great to be overcome. Ruth threw the snowball. That snowball did the meanest thing! instead of hitting the chum it flew straight to Ruth's supervisor. That is why we put "like" in the past tense. Helen Alhnan and Fay McKiddy packed up and boarded the train for Auburn and home last Friday. They had a "dandy" time. We are informed by two Home Economics girls that Mr. Kibbe did a heroic deed last Friday. The girls say that he attended the luncheon they gave. Miss Fay Bruneau, who is bound for Chile, South America, where she will do missionary work, is leaving New York on February 4. Steamer letters sent to Miss Bruneau will reach her addressed to S. S.

Last Saturday—sometime between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. Rahskopf found himself in a sad predicament. All said morning lie had been listening to the eloquent orations of the champion debaters. Of course he was intensely interested, but when the gt;eloek indicates lunch time, on's mind is apt to turn to thoughts of sandwiches and pickies. Mr. Kahskopf's did. lie thrust his hand into his pockets, while pictures of delectable luncheons danced before his eyes. But the pictures vanished when his repeated searches were rewarded with only five coppers. The sad truth must be faced. He had forgotten his purse. Meanwhile the remaining debaters were playing the parts of good fairies. They flew downstairs and when they ..•ame back they were carrying a queer looking bundie. When Mr. Rahskopf returned to his office, wearing a look of resignation, he found the dcl.aters busily studying their respective speeches and then looking at his desk he saw a bottle of milk, decorated with a how of green ribbon, standing beside a box containing—well, we will leave the rest to your hungry imaginations. Suffice it to say that good fairies know that even Normal professors enjoy feeds of peanuts and doughnuts and'apples and sandwiches. ALKISIAH CLUB. February 2, 1022, the members of the Alkisiah club enjoved a verv delightful program, after which a dainty and well planned luncheon was served by Reta Card, Marjorie Dueber and Johanna Miller. The program was as follows: Music By the Club Debate, Resolved, that the policy pursued by the United States in the Philippines is the best policy that could have been pursued. Negative. Affirmative Marie Tinker Marjorie Dueber Dorothy Zinzer Edith McCall Music Club Story. Philippine Setting Reta Gard Ue.-ent Current Events Julia Murray Club Songs Club ALITHEA CLUB. An interesting meting of the Alethia club was held Thursday, January 2G. The first part of the evening was taken up with the election of oficers, as follows: President—Frances Still. Vice President—Mildred Dawkins. Secretary—(«ladys 01so?i. Treasurer—'Edna Carnine. Sergeant at Arms—Ruth Oitchell. Club Critic—Brigitta Karkkonen. Club Reporter—Martha Anderson. Later in the evening a very fine program was enjoyed: Book Review Ruth Gitchell Legend of William Tell Brigitta Kankkonen Travels in Switzerland Mildred Dawkins GIVES MUSICAL TREAT A musical treat was given to the Normal students at last Monday's assembly. Charles Wakefield Cadmen, one of the leading coiu.posers and pianists in the world, gave a short lecture coupled with three numbers on the piano. Harrison Raymond, our local well-known voice instructor, added to the worth of the program, by singing three songs to Mr. Cadmen's accompaniment. On the Friday evening previous Mr. Cadmen gave a concert at the Metropolitan opera house in Seattle. He is an artist of absolutely the first rank. His appearance at the Normal was somewhat of an accident. He was visiting at the home of Henry P. Jukes for a short time. Mrs. Spratley of our music department, invited him to give a program- at the Normal and he accepted. Mr." Cadnuii has contributed much to the musical world as a composer. In his study of music he has especially emphasized the field of Indian Music. He is perhaps the greatest authority in that line today. In opening his program. Mr. Cadmen gave the following: 1. Pompadour's Fan. 2. Love Song (by himself). 3. Wolf Dance (based on a Blackfoot Indian melody). The Musician followed these splendid numbers with an illuminating talk on the subject of Indian music. He declared that tlie study of Indian music began but thirty-five'years ago. Contrary to a general opinion, Indian music has a distinct value to composers. Forty per cent of all the material gathered by musical investigators from the Indians possesses interest and value for composers. Mr. Ca;!maii had with him several -urioiis Indian instruments, among them the fiagolet. On this popular instrument he played four short numbers. The tones which he produced were particularly mellow and fascinating. It is interesting to know that Indian children have proven more precocious musical students than white children. Concluding the program, Mr. Harrison Raymond sang the following delightful numbers: 1. I Hear a Thrush at Eve. 2. From the Land of Sky-Blue Water. 3. At Dawn. B. s. N. S. HOW TO DETERMINE HYPNOTIC SUBJECTS In hypnotism one should always make a test to find out if the person is susceptible to hypnotism. There are, of course, certain types of persons that under no circumstances can be hypnotised. We make this test as soon as the person comes on the stage, look him straight in the eyes and say slowly and distinctly. "You are falling backwards." If the person so much as waves he is susceptible. Now suggest a thought to him. If he does not respond, repeat with emphasis. If he can In- hypnotised he will take up the suggestion and will be in your power. You now can suggest anything and he wiil respond. The key to hypnotism is the power of suggestion. To remove the thought or suggestion, a snap of the fingers will remove your power. He loses your suggestion and he will immediately return to normal. B. S. N. S. First Student: "Mr. Kolstad can put people in trances." Second Student: "Don't I know it?

It is called Early American Imprints. These books were all printed between the years 1770 and 1830, and it is due to a sale held by a large eastern firm that it was possible to acquire these very valuable books. The printing and working of these books are peculiar to the extreme, for instance a girl is always alluded to as a "damsel" or a "pious female." : This set includes works in the following: novels, poetry, journals, catchecisms, essays, dictionaries of various vocations and several different editions'of the New Testament. From an educational standpoint, these books are especially useful, both from a literary and historical view. They trace very thoroughly the growth and formation of America's great part in literature. Many critics maintain that America had no distinct literary achievements of her own, but if these same _ critics would thoroughly investigate this one set of books they would be convinced otherwise. Every student in school who is interested in what America has done in a literary way, should not fail to investigate this set of books. B. S. N. S. SENIOR MIXER. What ho! Ye Seniors, great and small!

A torn sail snapped and cracked like a "young cannon." He opened his eyes wide and sat up in bed, reaching for his watch, which was in his coat pocket at the foot of his bunk. It was 11:45 o'clock. He was to go on watch at 12, midnight, and watch the Chinese quarters until 4 a .m. The foc'le door slid back, and a tall, bulky figure entered. The man walked up to Johnny's bunk, looking down smilingly. "Come, kid," he said. "It's time for you to go on watch and its a merry time I aim thinking you are going to have, too. You better take my oil skin for its raining and blowing to beat blue blazes. Can you shoot?" Johnny told him that he could. "Just peel your eyes along this." He pulled a forty-four automatic from his hip pocket. "If any of them Chinks or Mexicans get canary—well, don't hesitate to make them acquainted with a little hot lead. A flock of hungry gungs are following the ship, and they are crying to beat Hades, and a little fresh Chink of Mex- ' ican meat wouldn't hurt their craws any." He removed his dripping oil skins, and laid the automatic on the bunk. "I am goinff to the galley and wet inv whistle with a hot wash of coffee, then maybe I'll get in a little poker game, a pooch of a fine game is on down in the fishermen's quarters. Six •hundred in silver was on the table till the ship began rolling, and it had to be removed. Bv holy Mount Pavlof! If one of them fishermen hasn't four twenty-dollar gold pieces, and where he o-ot them, I ' l r b e cow-kicked if I can tell. But I said to myself, "Gold, why tempt old Swede Carlson? I'll jingle those four twenties in my pocket before we hit Unimak Pass. Eh, kid ?" Johnny had gotten out of the bunk, but was having a hard time dressing, because the ship rolled so hard. He hung onto the bunk with one hand and pulled on his shirt and trousers with the other. It amused Swede Carlson hugely to see Johnny stagger about. "Were you ever at sea before, kid?" Johnny told him that he had been to sea once before. "Once, vou say. Well you will get your sea-legs in a day or two. I am going now and if anything should happen— well, shoot, see? But if you are afraid to play Avith that little toy aiitp-matic. you just yell down in the fishermen's quarters, and old Swede Carlson will come and show you how to mix things in the hell-hole." Johnny noticed Swede Carlson's mammoth chest and muscles, which reminded him of Jack London's "Sea Wolf." Johnny asked Swede Carlson if this was his first trip North. Swede Carlson lit a cigarette, looked at Johnny and laughed. "Hell, kid! I am so well known on Bering Sea that the fish call me by my first name. You have just three minutes before you go on watch, so I am going to tell you a little story. "This makes—" they both fell against the bunk when the ship plunged suddenly—" as I was going to say, this makes my fourteenth trip North. I have been through Unimak Pass twenty-six times. The least I made in one season was $12. Last season I made $2,000. I had that much when I hit Seattle last September. Well, I have only twenty dollars left. That is the way it goes, kid. The more a fellow makes the . 711 ore lie spends. These darn cannery men don't care for a fisherman. The first season, I and my pardner were capsized in a storm. My partner was drowned, and I went for three days without anything to eat, before I was picked up. In a blow last year, me and my pardner got too close to a sand-bar near the mouth of the Nushagak river, and the boat capsized. I escaped again, but my partner washed away with . a giant., breaker. When I reached the cannery, the first thing the superintendent asked me was, 'Where is the boat ?'" . The door slid back and a sailor nodded to Swede Carlson'. A tremendous roar of wind, flappnig sails, and a wild sea spewing and simmering like boiling water, came from outside. Johnny hurriedly stuck the automatic in his pocket, slipped on the oil skins and boots, and followed Swede Carlson out on deck. Swede Carlson and Kay the sailor went into the galley, and slid the door. A streak of yellow gleamed through a crack of the galley door. Johnny was left alone on deck. It was black dark, and the giant waves boiled up and Avashed over the decks. Ghostly figures crept around the masts and by the railing. Aloft in the rigging,, the two and three steel cables hummed and sang like a trunk phone line. With the aid-of a small flashlight, he found his way along the slippery decks to the Chinese . quarters. He crawled through a narrow door, and started to descend the steep steps. On each side of the steps ropes had been stretched. Johnny hung onto the ropes and entered the Hell-hole. The poker game was still on, the players hung onto the stationary table and dealt the cards between the plunges of teh ship. On deck the air was pure, with a tinge of salt, but here in the Hell-hole a sour, stale smell, which made him sick at his stomach, hit his nostrils. He walked doAvn the narrow aisles between the bunks as quickly as possible. In every bunk,, a Chinaman or a Mexican rolled with the ship's motion. Most of them were smoking long pipes, probably opium. In one corner, to themselves," eight or ten Hawaiians had taken bunks. They were still setting up, half naked. Three of them were playing string instruments and sweet sounds of Aloha filled the Hellhole. Johnny passed the gambling table again on the way out, and was invited to "get in."' He didn't tell them but he knew that he did not know the first rules of the game. .Amid much tobacco smoke and jabbering he left them, and went on deck. The wind was gaining force, and the waves leaped above the ship, pouring their frosty tops across the decks. T-wise he fell when the ship tipped so the deck came up to meet him. His face was dripping salt water when he entered the fo'/le. He sat down on the edge of his bunk. His brain throbbed and a feeling of being terribly far away haunted him. Victor, his chum, slept in a double bunk in the corner across from him. Victor had hung a red curtain in front of his bunk and Johnny could see the light still burned above his pillow. Terrible thoughts flashed through his mind, what if the ship should sink? He asked himself over and over. His teeth chattered, and he wanted to do something, but what could he do? He walked over to Victor's bunk, and lifted the curtain. Victor lav very quietly, sleeping. The roll of the ship did not disturb him and the expression of adventure which had been on.his face ever since they sailed from Seattle, had turned into a half-smilc. Victor's white sweater with the vellow letter, his college colors, hung on a nail over his bunk. "What a contrast!" Johnny thought. Down in the Hell-hole were the rakings of the underworld of San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, but here was a young American, a college boy, the type that the American nation depends upon for the future. tie turned the light out and went on deck again. Some of the sails had been lowered, and broken cables swished across the deck. He was caught by one and thrown for ten feet, up against the railing. His arm and side ached, but he crawled through the narrow door again, B H 5 S 5 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 3 a H2B2S3HH2HaHHSHHaSlHHHaHHHBa "ALL NORMAL STUDENTS SATURDAY NIGHT" CECIL B.

The poker game was over, and everyone was in bed. The lights still burned, and a half-dozen pop bottles rolled around under the bunks. Tobadeo cans and rubbish slid around with the motion of the ship. The timbers of the ship cracked and moaned until Johnny expected the next breaker to tear the ship to pieces. On his way back to the foc'le .be peeped down into the fishermen's quarters. The game was still on and Swede Carlson and Kay, the sailor, were still on "the trail of the four twenties." It was his last round, when he came out of the Hell-hole deathly sick. His head ached, and his stomach hurt. He went as near the railing as possible and "fed the fish." At least sea-sickness had overcome him. Back aft, he heard the Captain swearing, he heard him say that the ship was six hundred miles from shore and one hundred miles out of her course. Away off to the east a streak of light showed. It was a pale, pale light, which gradually grew brighter,' seeming to come in little jets, with slight and sudden shocks. It made the heavens look as if they were being illuminated like a transparency, and as if lamps with flames were being raised. Little by little, behind the shapeless gray clouds, carefully raised with mysterious caution for fear of disturbing the mournful turmoil of the sea. Johnny awoke the relief watch and entered the foc'le. Victor was awake, and looked at him and smiled. "Isn't this great, this roll I mean. I can sleep just dandy." He asked Johnny what made him look so white around the "gills," but Johnny did not tell him. He rolled into his hunk with his face to the wall. His heart seemed big and swollen. He went to sleep mumbling Vic-Vic-Vic. -^-George Kermit Stephens. On Unintentional Descent. Oh, many's the ups succeeding the downs, For the slick sidewalks shimmer with sleet.

The Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, MEChA, a human rights organization that focuses on chicano issues, is sponsoring Western's walkout, which is scheduled for noon Wednesday in Red Square. "We don't want extremist immigration reform," said Western senior Sierra Schraff- Thomas, a member of the student group. "We want immigration reform that includes human rights and justice, for everyone." The bill, HR 4437, will allow for tougher prosecution of undocumented people, she said. Undocumented workers have children who are natural-born citizens who would be left alone if their parents became felons and were imprisoned, she said. The group is walking out to send a unified message to state and national politicians, Schraff-Thomas said. Western's walkout includes a march to the Federal Building in downtown Bellingham, where marchers will present a letter protesting the bill to the Bellingham office of Rep. Rick Larsen D-Wash., who voted for the bill in December. Larsen expressed reservations about the bill in a December 16,2005 press release. see BELL, page 5 PETER THAN / THE WESTERN FRONT In preparation for Saturday's border rally, Ray Ybarra, of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, trained protesters from the Coalition for Professional Law and Border Enforcement on March 29 at Taqueria El Polivoz on Meridian Street.

By clicking on the link "Listen to KUGS-FM online now" on the KUGS Web site's homepage, users can listen at their computers, said Oliver Anderson, Western senior and program manager. The core staff at the station worked on getting the Webcast up and running last year, Anderson said. see RADIO, page 5 BY JULIE WAGGONER The Western Front The Coalition for Professional Law and Border Enforcement, a group of local human rights organizations, held a rally to oppose the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps April 1 at the Peace Arch Park in Blaine. For four hours in the steady rain, some of the 50 activists handed out informational leaflets about the Minutemen to motorists waiting to cross at the Peace Arch border crossing in Blaine. Other members performed original music and theatrical performances at the event which began the Aguila del Norte Legal* Observer program. "The objective is to, in a peaceful way, hold the Minutemen accountable for what they're doing and to see if they violate human rights," Fairhaven College senior see ACTIVISTS, page 4 PETER THAN / THE WESTERN FRONT KUGS-FM DJ and Western freshman Jenny Hemley works on sound equipment during a broadcast.

Compiled by Rob Ashlock WIHI1I1II111 Election lacks candidates With deadline near, only 14 students have entered AS races BY JEFFREY LUXMORE The Western Front The deadline to enter the Associated Students elections is Thursday and only 14 students have applied for the seven board positions, said Western junior and the AS elections coordinator Brian Perrow. Out of the 14 candidates who have applied so far, 11 already work for or with the AS, he said. "We hardly ever see anyone from the campus community get involved," Perrow said. Applications are available in Viking Union 504 and are due back by 5 p.m. on Thursday. Applicants must collect 150 signatures as part of the application process, but Perrow said he has seen a candidate do that in a single day. Western senior Alanna Ahern, the AS vice president for campus and community affairs, said students with leadership skills would be successful in any of the board's positions. "When one faction of campus is always dominating the agenda, that's not good for students," Ahern said. "The ability to affect change on my campus is the top benefit for me," she said. Seven student board members comprise the elected positions of the AS. It also employs students through extra curricular groups, such as KUGS, the campus radio station, Perrow said. Kevin Majkut, director of Viking Union student activities, said the elections usually have at least two students running for each of the positions. Approximately the same amount of students ran last year compared to who has filed this year, he said. The lack of new students running for the board could be due to insufficient advertising PETERTHAN /THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Michael Downing pauses to read an advertisement promoting the upcoming AS election. 11 out of the 14 applicants who have filed for this year's AS board elections are already involved with the AS. of the board and elections, Ahern said. One of Perrow's responsibilities as elections coordinator is to promote the elections, but no specific office exists to promote the AS. This could explain why advertising is not more widespread around campus, Ahern said. The AS Review and its Web site are available for students to quickly find out what is happening on campus, but these are not specific advertising outlets for the AS, Perrow said. Most of Perrow's work with promotions will focus on voter turnout. He is organizing radio spots and advertisements in campus publications, he said. Perrow posted flyers up with the Publicity Center around campus right before spring break informing students of the filing deadline, he said. The AS also advertised in kiosks around campus to promote the elections at the beginning of spring quarter, he said. Ahern said she would like to see students who are familiar with the AS run, but she wants new students as well. The elections are open to students without prior experience with the AS. The AS would not adequately represent Western students if it did not welcome applicants who are not previously affiliated with the AS, she said. The AS may intimidate students who are new to the group because new students don't know how the AS process works, Ahern said. Returning AS members may be more efficient in the board positions in the beginning because they understand the board members' roles and the issues Western faces that continue year after year, Perrow said: They may understand issues better because of their continued involvement, he said. Returning AS members tend to concentrate their efforts on continuing what they did the previous year instead of looking for new issues to focus on, he said. New students would offer another perspective, he said. "Fresh voices bring new ideas," Perrow said. The Western Front Online Don't cry!

The sign translates from Spanish as, "dignity without borders." CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Andres Ortiz said. The Minutemen began sporadically watching for illegal crossings of the Washington state- Canada border since October 2005, photographing any violations and reporting them to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, said Tom Williams of Deming, the leader of the Washington state's Minutemen chapter: Ortiz will lead volunteers from the legal observer program in an extended period of watching the Minutemen. They will document any actions the group perceives as abusive at its Blaine headquarters using photographs, notes and videos. Ortiz said the legal observer program will show all the documents it collects to the Whatcom County Council at the end of April to convince the council to pass a resolution informing the Minutemen they are not welcome in Whatcom County. Ortiz said the Legal Observer program has 48 members, a quarter of whom are Western students. He said all volunteers attend a two-hour training in non-violent observation, teaching them how to avoid confrontations with the Minutemen. Methods include humor, changing the subject or refusing to respond to attacks, such as incidents where Minutemen spat on or kicked legal observers in Arizona where the Minutemen are active in patrolling the border, Ortiz said. "We want to see what they're up to and report it back to the community," said Western senior David Cahn, a member of the program. "We just want to observe and document them, not get in their faces at all." Ortiz said the program is based on Legal Observer Project in Arizona, where the Minutemen organization began patrolling the border in April 2005. The American Civil Liberties Union's Ray Ybarra, who established the Arizona Legal Observer Project last April, trained Ortiz and others in non-violent observation March 29 at the Taqueria El Polivoz Mexican restaurant on Meridian Street, Ortiz said. Williams said the Minutemen are not opposed to the legal observer program. The volunteers will have a boring job because the Minutemen don't engage in illegal activities, he said. The Legal Observers will be helping the Minutemen's goal by putting more eyes on the border, he said. "I don't think intimidation is a humane method of protecting the borders," said Western senior Jackie Vosler, who attended the rally. "I think we have a responsibility to make sure it's not used. It's important that we make sure human beings are treated like human beings in all situations and that invisible borders we create don't change that." BREWERY BISTRO miners DO YOI WAX!

The county will use an area homeless count they completed in January, Gary Williams, supervisor of the human services division of the Whatcom County Health Department, said the count's purpose is to look at the homeless population's demographics and the major factors that contribute to their homelessness. ... "People are probably never going to see many of the homeless as a lot of them do not wish to be seen," said Sherri Emerson, public relations correspondent for Whatcom Opportunity Council, an agency that helps homeless people find shelters. Lara Bond, 28, a junior in the human services program at Woodring College of Education at Western, met with homeless students during her ongoing internship at the Opportunity Council. Bond said the Opportunity Council tries to help everyone who is homeless, but often they are not able to. "There are not enough services here for the homeless," Bond said. "They are limited especially for certain circumstances. The most disappointing thing you can tell someone when they come here is that they aren't eligible for what is offered or that they are on their own that night to find a place to stay." Williams said he hopes to compare results with other counties in Washington that completed the count within the next two weeks. More than 50 organizations administered the count, including the Opportunity Council, Bellingham Foodbank, Bellingham school district, Whatcom County Jail and the YWCA Transitional Housing Program. 65% Homeless minors â€¢35% â€¢ Older than 18 GRAPHIC BY MICHAEL LYCKLAMA Thirty-five percent of Whatcom County's homeless are younger than 18 years old.

"The Webcast is great because when I listen to the radio, I'm always curious about the songs that are playing," said Western freshman disc jockey Jenny Hemley. Information for the last two songs is also listed below the current song. By clicking on the "View playlist archive" link, listeners can research song information for any track that aired since the Webcast started, Anderson said. Although KUGS first began Webcasting in 1997, changing copyright laws and fees forced the station to stop in 2002, said KUGS general manager Jamie Hoover. The station would have been charged for every listener using the Webcast as well as for every song each listener played online, Hoover said. If 200 listeners were listening to a song on the Webcast, it would cost the station approximately $20,000 per year, Hoover said. "College stations across the country really just stopped what they _________ were doing," she said. "(The cost) scared a lot of stations away from Webcasting." Hoover said an agreement with Recording Artists of America allowed stations at colleges with more than 15,000 students, such as Western, to only pay $500 a year for Webcasting. KUGS also pays approximately $170 per month for a service called PlayStream to process and distribute the station's signal, she said. At this cost, only 50 listeners can use the Webcast at any one time, Hoover said. Once KUGS exceeds the bandwidth, no more users can log on to the Webcast, she said. If the Webcast gains popularity, Hoover said she plans to ask the Associated Students board of directors to fund an increase in Webcast users. Hoover said the main goal of the Webcast is to reach more listeners in the residence halls. Because many residence halls, such _________ as Buchanan Towers and Fairhaven have concrete walls, it can be difficult for students to receive the radio signal, Hoover said. "We know that students come to campus with their computers, and we know that most of the students get their entertainment and their media through their computers," Hoover said. "The idea was to get clear signals to people who can't get the station and increasing student listenership." Western junior and KUGS operations coordinator Cory Watkins said she thinks the new feature will improve the sound quality of the station on campus. She said the Webcast quality is equal to a The idea was to get clear signals to people who can't get the station and increasing student listenership/ JAMIE HOOVER KUGS-FM general manager clearly-recieved broadcast. As a low-power station, KUGS is difficult to receive clearly on campus. Even in the Viking Union, where KUGS broadcasts, Watkins said it is difficult to receive the signal. "KUGS-FM is on the seventh floor of the Viking Union, but down on the sixth floor and in the market they can't listen because the signal is too faint," Watkins said. "Hopefully with the Webcast that will improve." Since the Webcast started, the only problem users have encountered is iTunes not playing the stream, Watkins said. Macintosh computer users will have to download another media player to betable to use the Webcast, she said. Anderson said he hopes increased KUGS exposure through Webcasts will increase student involvement in the station as volunteer DJs and office staff. "The Webcast is part of our ongoing push to bring people into the KUGS community," Anderson said. "So not only do we want to get more students listening to us, but we want to get more students working here." Bill: Los Angeles protests inspire Western, other state universities to take stand Wednesday CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In a December 16, 2005 press release, Larsen said he opposes illegal immigration but sees someproblems withthesustainability of some provisions in the bill. The House passed the bill in December 2005. Included in it are provisions that would make it a felony for U.S. citizens to provide any type of aid to illegal immigrants and would remove federal funding for, any states that refuse to comply with the law. One amendment to the bill calls for the construction of 700 miles of barriers, including double-layer fencing with surveillance, across much of the U.S.Mexico border in California, Arizona and Texas. The bill also calls for a study by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security potentially leading to similar borders on the U.S.-Canada border. The Senate began debating the bill in March. Its version differs from the House bill because it includes developing a guest worker program, which would provide prospective immigrants with easier access to temporary work visas, and move toward citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country. The Western chapter traveled to Arizona for the organization's annual national convention March 25. A massive protest in Los Angeles on March 27 inspired Western members to plan coinciding walkouts with the University of Washington chapter, said Western freshman arid MEChA member, MarTbel Galvan. "It's really just been this past week that things have grown," Galvan said. "We were talking about (the walkout) on the drive up from Phoenix, and by Tuesday, we'd had an emergency planning meeting." In addition to the University of Washington, other state universities, such as Central Washington University, may stage similar events this week, Galvan said. Schraff-Thomas said her group has been rallying other campus groups to join the effort. "We're asking anyone who feels this is wrong to join us," she said.

Dave Engebretson, a Western geology professor, will teach his spring geology seminar class at the center weekly, he said. His students will incorporate the environment in their projects, such as classifying and analyzing rock formations, he said. Geology 101 classes will also use the center during field trips to the arboretum, he said. "The right learning changes everything," -Engebretson said, "In other words, you can learn more about a cumulonimbus cloud by going outside and looking at it than by drawing it on a piece of paper." Facilities management at Western constructed the learning center in fall 2005 in the abandoned rock quarry along the Sehome Trail in the arboretum, east of Western's campus. The center provides opportunities for a variety of teaching methods, such as physically interacting with the environment, Engebretson said, who came up with the idea for the center. It creates the opportunity to observe the surrounding geologic formations, plants and animal life, he said. "The central focus of the project is to enhance student usage of the arboretum for educational and recreational purposes, as well as strengthen ties with the surrounding community," Engebretson said. Twelve backless benches face a low rock platform at the front where teachers or students can lecture. As an additional part of the project, facilities management created new paths along Sehome Trail fall quarter 2005, which improved access from the Communications Facility to East College Way, Engebretson said. The Western Foundation, a group of organizations and individuals who donate to the university, allocated $32,000 for MATT VOGT / THE WESTERN FRONT Western senior Melanie Kelly studies in the outdoor learning center on Sehome Trail behind the Communications Facility. Geology 101 classes will use this area on their field trips throughout spring quarter. the project in spring 2002 after President Karen Morse and Provost of Academic Affairs Andrew Bodman approved the idea in October 2000, Engebretson said. The center is part of an ongoing project Engebretson began in 2000, titled Sehome Hill Arboretum Resource Education, he said. This project focuses on using the arboretum's natural resources for educational purposes, he said. The outdoor learning center is the first physical part of the project. Engebretson has worked with facilities management, Morse and the city of Bellingham to complete the project in fall 2005. His strongest supporters, however, have been his own students, he said. Their dedication to his vision is the driving force behind the project's completion because they helped him develop ideas for the project, he said. Engebretson gathered approximately 75 student volunteers in the past five years through teaching seminar classes and independent study courses in the geology department, he said. The students helped devise models of the center and lay out the area within the rock by the trail, Engebretson said. "I really want the students to take ownership," Engebretson said. Western junior Kathleen Weinand said she has taken three classes at Western, geology 101, biology 101 and physical geography, that have used the arboretum to apply the skills professors teach in the classroom. Weinand has been involved with creating the center, she said. ; "There are lots of classes that take you up in the arboretum," Weinand said. "It will be nice to have a place to sit." Tim Wynn, director of facilities management, managed the construction of the outdoor center. Wynn and Engebretson worked together on the center's configuration, Wynn said. They designed the natural benches to fit in the surrounding landscape but also to be resistant to vandalism and graffiti, he said. "The arboretum is a wonderful asset, anything we can do to enhance its utilization is a wonderful thing," Wynn said.

One of the children called police to report an intruder. Officers found Peterson barricaded in a bedroom and in a highly agitated state. Peterson then urinated in her cupped hand and tossed it at police. Police subdued Peterson, who police said, was under the influence of drugs and was transported to a local hospital before being booked into the Weber County Jail. She is facing several misdemeanor charges, including criminal trespassing, assaulting a police officer and propelling a substance onto an officer.

The building, known as Interurban Stages and located at 1327 State St., was constructed in 1930 to house Puget Sound Power and Light Company offices and a bus station, Depot owner Ben Gilmer said. The bus station moved from State Street in 1994 to its current location at 410 Harris Ave. in Fairhaven, leaving the building vacant until the Depot moved in a decade later, Gilmer said. "It has depth of character," Gilmer said. "It's not as manufactured as a lot of other places." Gilmer maintains the original character by displaying photographs of old buses and one photograph of the building as a bus station. Gilmer also included brief history about the former bus station on the back of the menus. Gilmer said construction and renovation lasted nearly eight months and ended Jan. 21, 2005. The construction cost approximately $500,000, Gilmer said. The final renovations included adding seating, tables and two bars, while keeping much of the wood from the original structure, Gilmer said. Rewiring and plumbs ing concluded most of the building renovations. The original 14-foot ceilings, stone floors and brick entry are features that remain from the former bus station. Moceri Construction, who completed the renovation and rebuilding of the structure, altered the three-foot bathroom stalls to comply with the Americans with Disability Act, Moceri carpenter Sean McDonough said. "It was a beautiful space to begin with," McDonough said. Gilmer said he tried to maintain the historical importance of the building by keeping the original architecture intact. "We tried to maintain and reuse every item we found," Gilmer said. "Each space tells a story." Gilmer saved doors that could not stay in their original location to display somewhere else. The tickets sign on the door has moved to the entrance of the restaurant in front of the hostess podium. Gilmer said he discovered a pay machine customers could purchase luggage identity tags in the basement of the building during renovation, which now hangs on one wall of the lounge area. Gilmer added old luggage bags he found at antique stores to emphasize the historical importance of the building's past. Depot server Jenna Abbey directed a customer who thought he was at the former Interurban Stages bus station to the new bus station in Fairhaven, she said. "My mom used to ride this bus when she was going to college here," Abbey said. "When she came to visit I brought her here and she was really excited about the way it looked." , It's common for customers to tell stories from their childhood about waiting for the bus while they drink and dine, Depot prep cook Justin Moody said. "I think that's one of the reasons it's so popular," Moody said. "It has sort of a nostalgic environment and people like that." The original character of the building and the thrill of travel associated with the station are reasons customers come back to the Depot, Gilmer said. He also attributed the Depot's popularity to its PETER THAN / TOE WESTERN FRONT The State Street Depot Bar and Grill opened Jan. 21, 2005 after eight months of renovation and construction. friendly, outgoing staff and the warm environment that he created with rich'wood and dark colors. "I try to offer a pleasant experience in order to preserve a quality customer base," Gilmer said. Gilmer plans to add pool tables and a dance floor this week in order to expand the night scene at the Depot, and this will make the restaurant section sightly smaller, he said.

Due to last year's surge in celebratory golf swings and fake marriage proposals to cheerleaders, the NFL's competition committee decided to put an end to excessive touchdown celebrations Wednesday, March ^ iby grvi^ power to assess 15-yanfpenaWes for anythingviolatingthenewguicfeliries. ; T ^ guidelines state ; that any celebration using props, occurs while the eelebrator is lying on the ground or includes a group choreographed effort is just too much excitement. Some sports analysts of the new policy refer to the NFL as the No Fun League. While I agree with the sentiment of sports analysts, I believe any organization that pays its employees to play football is, at least a little bit fun. â€¢This proposal runs contrary to the intent of American professional sports which, by the way, are supposed to entertain. I enjoy watching athletes make spectacles of themselves after they score. And I enjoy imagining the possibilities of what celebrations eccentric receivers like me Cincinatti Bengals' Chad Johnson or the Dallas Cowboys' Terrell Owens might come up with next see CELEBRATE, page 10 ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT SPORTS APRIL 4,2006 Women lose five seniors BY ANDREW LAWRENCE The Western Front When the buzzer sounded in Carver Gym on March 11, it signaled Western women's basketball, team's 70-50 loss to Seattle Pacific University in the West Regional Semifinal of the NCAA Division II Women's National Basketball Tournament. Fourth team All-American and senior forward Tina Donahue took the loss and the end of her Viking career especially hard. " I t was a nightmare," Donahue said. I t was like I was waiting to wake up from a bad dream, it just didn't seem real.'' Though not the conclusion the team wanted, the loss did not overshadow all they have accomplished mis season, senior guard Samantha Hubbard said. The women's basketball team hosted the West Regional Tournament because they won the regular season conference championship. . "The season is not defined by March," she said. The team won the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship with a 17-0 record and a 27-2 overall record. The team won a school-record 21 straight games and won more than 20' games for the ninth consecutive season. Hosting the NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Regional Tournament was the highlight of the season, Hubbard said. 'We worked hard to get it, and we really had to do everything right up to that point," Hubbard said. Last season's momentum carried into mis season, Hubbard said.. The Vikings finished last season with a 24-5 record and reached the West Regional Tournament. They returned five seniors to the court, including Donahue, Hubbard, center Courtney Clapp, center Stephanie Dressel and guard Kelly Dykstra. One of their greatest strengths came from the sideline, Dykstra said. ._, ...... "The coaches are just amazing women," Dykstra said. "The most upsetting thing at the end of mis season was not being able to doit for them. It's devastating." The GNAC named head coach Carmen Dolfo coach of the year after the Vikings clinched the No. 1 seed at the West Regional Tournament "Everything they did prepared us and gave us the ability to win," Hubbard said. Reading the coaches' scouting reports of opponents before each game was essential to the team's success because it broke down each of the Viking's opponents, Hubbard said. Several players were honored individually, such as Donahue's; selection as GNAC Player PHOTO COURTESY OF PAUL MADISON Western senior and fourth-team all-american Tina Donahue shoots around a Central Washington University defender at the Showdown in the Sound on Dec. 17,2005. Western defeated Central 87-55 in Seattle. of the Year and being named a fourth-team NCAA Division II All-American Team, Hubbard said. "It was one of my best years," Donahue said. Another excellent performance came from senior Courtney Clapp. Clapp was a second-team GNAC all-star and Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 26 through March 4. One challenge the team faces is the loss of five seniors, almost half of the team, including Donahue and Clapp. "When I was a junior, we had just lost a lot of players, but we started out winning 15 straight," Dykstra said. "Though some people think it's a rebuilding year, the team will step up." Because me team utilized a deep bench, next year should be an easy transition, since the younger players received a lot of playtime, Donahue said.

Celebrate: Committee robbing fans CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Idon'tmeantosay some celebrations aren'tmappropriateor lame. But natural consequences from players, coaches and media can curb infractions. Owens once scored a touchdown in Dallas and ran 50 yards to the star in the middle of the field, only to be blindsided by an angered Cowboy player. This type of thing has a way of settling itself out And clearly, Dallas wasn't too .upset over the exaggerated celebration anymore considering they signed Owens to a multi-year contract in March. Coaches can lay out what is and isn't acceptable for their players, and they don't need the league to step in. Why outlaw team celebrations? Touchdown celebrators didn't need more reason to act as an individual. Now the NFL is making it mandatory. Nothing says team more than the entire offense forming a conga line in the back of the end zone. Banning celebrations on the ground puts an end to snow angels, canoe paddling and the worm. I don't understand why celebrating on the ground is such a hotly contested issue with the committee, anyway. Is there a gray area? I mean, do both knees have to be on the ground? Is it like the rules for being down, can you keep celebrating if only a hand touches the ground? Props seem excessive, but they don't harm anything. Phis, the opportunities are endless. I wouldn't mind a player incorporating an abacus. Or players could start leaving a rose or an ace of spades as their calling card, much like flooding a basement to let someone know they were robbed by the Wet Bandits. "Who just caught mat touchdown? Oh, I see an original copy of 'Great Expectations.' It must have been Antonio Gates." Johnson spoke about using a live deer in a celebration after scoring a touchdown. A live deer! Fans won't accept someone merely spiking the ball after we've been tempted with the idea of Bambi running around the end zone. Sure, the competition committee is going to still allow spiking and high fives, not to mention smiling, tipping one's helmet and sitting quietly on the bench. But that stuff has the personality of a doorstop. Fans shouldn't accept mis downgrade in entertainment. How am I supposed to stand up and cheer for^omeone handing the ball to the official when I was told I get to see live animals? The worst part of the proposal is it doesn't provide punishments for celebrations mat are unoriginal or flat- out boring. - This means running back Shaun Alexander can go on rocking babies and pretending to fish, while more creative players aren't allowed to act out scenes from 'Scarjace" or charm snakes. I'm sure Shaun is at home right now practicing his new celebration, "filling out the W-2." NFL fern should protest tiiis stifling new policy by celebrating after they, achieve any sort of success in their lives. In this protest we may be lucky enough to see some defiant fan with a taste for irony perform the arbitrary tasks which become fodder for NFL players and their celebrations, such as answering the phone or changing a diaper, and then stand triumphant over a newly domed infant and pretend to catch a touchdown. Binding the hands of these celebrators, which otherwise could be used to raise roofs, with these new guidelines eliminates a harmless yet exciting feature of the game. With these new rule changes die Not as much Fun League has effectively shot itself in the foot, which, if someone could find a safe way to do it, would make a heck of a celebration. Sadly, we may never get to see someone try. ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 11 ---------- APRIL 4,2006 SPORTS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 regime as BY BRADY HENDERSON The Western Front When Western's football team takes the field for its season opener against Humboldt State University Aug. 31, the team may be difficult to recognize. Players said the team will move from the Great Northwest Athletic Conference to the tougher North Central Conference. Players will sport new dark blue helmets, and will play their home games at the newly renovated Civic Stadium. More importantly, the team will have a new head coach. Long-time Western head coach Rob Smith, who resigned last December after compiling a record of 109 wins in 17 seasons, is out. Former Vikings' assistant coach Robin Ross, who returns to Western after 10 years to become the 13th head coach in the program's 95- year history, is in. The opportunity to be the head coach was his main reason for returning to Western, Ross said. "(Western) is a great university," Ross said. "I enjoy the people." In his first head coaching job, Ross takes over a team eager to improve last year's 4-6 season record, and 3-3 in conference. The team hopes Ross' emphasis on defense will improve a weakness. He will serve as the defensive coordinator as well, Ross said. Last year, the Vikings gave up "28T8rpointsper game on theirway to its third losing season under Smith. This year, junior outside linebacker Shane Simmons, a first-team all- GNAC selection last year, will lead the defense, Simmons said. "We have a lot to improve from last year," Simmons said. "I think we've got the guys to do it. We got a new look and we're excited to get out on the field. We want to win." Ross is switching back to a 4-3 defense after the team moved to a 3-4 defense midway through last season. The team is optimistic this move will help them utilize their TAYLOR WILLIAMS / THE WESTERN FRONT Western head football coach Robin Ross observes his football players stretch before Monday's running session on the Turf Field north of the Wade King Recreation Center. Ross took over for former head coach Rob Smith on Dec. 15. speed, said James Day, a junior outside linebacker who started six games for the Vikings last year. A 4-3 defense will help Western use their speed to better defend teams in the NCC, Day said." "We've got some pretty fast guys," Day said. "We're gonna use our team speed and fly around and make plays." So far this offseason, Ross and his coaching staff like what they have seen from the players in the weight room and in conditioning drills, Ross said. Offensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach Eric Tripp said players set more than 151 individual records during the winter weight lifting and workouts. "I like the attitude of the team," Ross said. "We had a good quarter. They've been working hard." Ross spent two seasons as the Vikings' defensive coordinator in 1994 arid 1995.' In 1994, Ross' defense allowed the fewest points of any National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division U school, ranked third nationally in rushing defense and fifth in total defense. The team claimed its first ever national playoff victory in 1994, defeating top-ranked Linfield College 21-2. In 1995, the Vikings finished 9-1 with an undefeated regular season. They spent five weeks as the top-ranked team in the nation and finished the season ranking seventh nationally in scoring defense. Before joining the Vikings as head coach, Ross was the linebackers coach for the National Football League's Oakland Raiders in 2000, when the Raiders went "12-4"and firiisHed with the league's ninth ranked defense. ' The Raiders lost the AFC Championship game to the Baltimore Ravens. As the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach at the University of Oregon from 2001 to 2004, Ross helped the Ducks win the Pac-10 championship in 2001. He spent last season coaching linebackers at Oregon State University, where the Beavers ranked first in the Pac-10 in rushing defense. Ross gave his players more responsibility regarding issues affecting the team. He set up a player's council with elected players from each position, both offensively and defensively. The council makes decisions regarding what uniform combinations to wear on game days and how the football program will spend its money, Day said. "It's about being a team," senior quarterback James Monrean said. "I think it's real cool that (Ross) has let us be involved in some of the decisions being made." While Ross is taking steps to improve the team, his impact on his players stretches beyond the playbook. Players describe Ross as a player's coach, personable and easy to talk to. Ross has focused on getting to know his players and building team unity with help from, the player's council. "He wants to be involved, not only in the football aspect but in the players' lives," senior . defensive tackle Ryan Lucas said. Ross wants the team to be more involved in the community as well. Players visited Geneva Elementary in Bellingham to read to children, talk about the importance of reading and to warn them of the dangers of using steroids. Ross has made a number of public speaking engagements regarding Western's football program around the state since the school hired him and plans to schedule an autograph day and a canned food drive, he said. "We're developing leadership not only on the team but in the community as well," Tripp said. As for switching to the highly competitive NCC, the team is up to the task of playing in the toughest conference in Division II football, players said. The team realizes not many fans and critics of the NCC believe they can win because they are playing in an elite conference against some of the nation's best teams, including Division II playoff participant the University of North Dakota, Lucas said.

BY BORIS KURBANOV The Western Front The evidence is overwhelming. Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is trapped between the cheating he tried so hard to protect and the present allegations of steroid use he knows he must address. Faced with threats frbm Congress to clean up the game and a public outcry questioning the integrity of me MLB, $eHg on March 30 announced a formal investigation into player's use of steroidsâ€”the ripped and roided elephant in the middle of the room. What took so long, Bud? Selig hired former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell to lead the investigation. Not only is Mitchellthe Boston Red Sox director and former director for the Florida Marlins, he is also chairman of The Walt Disney Go. Disney is the parent company of ESPN, a national broadcast baseball partner, according to a March 30 New York Times article. Conflict of interest? Gertainly. Mitchell is simply too close for comfort. Selig should hire an outsider to investigate, much like investigator John Dowd's bulldog approach to nail baseball's all-time hits leader Pete Rose for gambling on baseball 13 years ago. The investigation seems as phony as a presidential campaign promise. Selig is striking out in his efforts to clean up. he can't take charge oifuiis issue if he doesn't investigate. If he pursues with his inquiry, it will be too little, too late. Selig, desperate to reshape baseball's image, can only blame himself. He knew the game had a problem long before former Baltimore Oriole first baseman Rafael Palmeiro wagged his finger at Congress in March 2005 to say shame on Congress for prying into baseball's dark secret. Palmeiro told Congress m the 2005 hearings that he never used steroids, m July, 2005 he tested positive for steroids. He knew long before former MLB all-star Jose Canseco's 2005 book detailed players' -rampant steroid use, including Palmeiro's. Paitheiro. shamelessly denied using steroids, even-;after he tested pdsitiVein August 2005^ according to aC March 30^ ESPN.com article; ' '':F/â€¢i;; V e percent of Major League B a s e b a l l players tested positive for steroids during the 2003 season, according to aNov. 13,2003 Sports Illustrated article. Why didn't the investigation start then? It's simple, actually. The money from fans rolls in as long as major league baseball t e am s keep shortening their fences and turning their ballparks into launching pads for baseball's chemically enhanced cheaters. Barry Bonds, the self-proclaimed "media scapegoat," denied using steroids, and opened of hall of fame outfielder Hank Aaron's major league record of 755 home runs. Bonds is the subject of the book, "Game 's legacy of Shadows: Barry Bonds, Balco and the Steroids Scandal That Rocked Professional Sports," based on a two-year investigation written by San Francisco Chronicle reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. The Union-Tribune Publishing Co. released the book March 23. The book included court documents, affidavits investigators filed, documents federal agents wrote and interviews with more than 200 witnesses, according to a March 8 Seattle Times article. The book's, release finally forced Selig to open an investigation. Any legitimacy Bonds' career had before the book's release, sunk to the bottom of San Francisco's McCovey's Cove â€” where most of Bonds' home runs belong. Even if Bonds doesn't hit another home run or breaks Aaron's record, everyone will question his statistics legitimacy. It seems they're not. Bonds would be well-advised to accept responsibility for cheating and then lying about it, and quietly walk away from the game. But Bonds won't. He knows Selig's and Mitchell's investigation is harmless. Bonds could surpass Aaron in one of the more disturbing scenes in sports history. Robbing a legend from his coveted record.

Brooklyn's Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery will display a life-size sculpture of Spears nude and pregnant as part of an anti-abortion art exhibit beginning April 7, according to a March 28 USA Today article. This sculpture, "The Birth of Sean Preston," could be the most innovative piece of art in the 21st century due to its graphic nature in depicting a celebrity. According to a March 22 article on the gallery's Web site, Daniel Edwards, 40, lovingly sculpted the pop princess in her natural state because he found her beauty intriguing. Now seriously, how many times can someone use that as a cover story for making a life-sized statue of sorneone viewed as America's trashiest teen idol? And sculpt her stark naked, kneeling in the doggy- style sex position, on a bearskin rug with her ass in the air, pushing a baby's head out of her vagina?

Only 13 students have filed to run for the seven positions on next year's Associated Student board of directors, and two candidates are currently running unopposed. Perhaps worse for student government and campus discussion, 11 applicants currently work for or with the AS. How can Western students expect the next board of directors to disperse its approximately $2 million budget, made completely of student money, to represent student needs and concerns if no new candidates run? A government controlled by a small group isolated from its voters. Sound familiar? -â€¢.- .,*-..,â€¢â€¢ New candidates are needed to bring fresh ideas to our student government. Current board members ran on a platform with specific ideals and goals to accomplish. Now running for re-election, they will undoubtedly continue to focus on those same issues. The board needs fresh candidates to bring ideas beyond lower book prices and improved transportation. The horse is dead, so quit beating it. However, the lack of student involvement is partly the AS' fault. The AS needs to better advertise its positions. Members say they tm^ want more students to run, but how many students knew the deadline was Thursday? Western junior and AS election coordinator Brian Perfow said most students don't know board members are paid and more would apply if they did. What have they done to educate students besides advertising in their own newspaper, The AS Review? It's hard to believe the board of directors is unbiased in its advertising with four members on this year's board and 11 AS members run for election. Why solicit competition? The more the AS advertises and the more candidates that file, the better the AS will serve students. The wider variety of candidates, the **" wider the variety of views. While experienced candidates offer intimate knowledge of how the AS works, re-electing the status quo hardly constitutes a healthy democratic government. New candidates can learn quickly and their newer views outweigh their inexperience. If any student feels the AS needs to tackle an issue, that student needs to get out there, collect the 150 signatures necessary and file for election. Otherwise, the AS will continue its empty promises to lower book prices and improve transportation.

First and foremost, getting back from spring break makes it easy for all of us conversationally challenged people out there. If. you see someone you wouldn't normally spill your guts to, a loose acquaintance, perhaps, you have an automatic conversation starter. Simply say, "How was your spring .' break?" It's like Spaghetti-O's. Just pop it in the microwave and you're good to go. Except it isn't nearly as satisfying. In fact, it's pretty dull. Generally, you'll receive one of three responses: A. Dude, it was sick. I got so drunk I don't even remember what country I was in. B. Pretty low key, just hung out at home with my family. C. It sucked, my girlfriend dumped me. I went to a funeral with my family and the next day I went skiing hung over. I started puking on the chairlift, fell off, broke both legs and my left arm. My right ski punctured my liver and damaged it so badly it ~ can't function, and now I can never drink again. Then, a bear came out from behind a tree and mistook my ass for a beehive. That last response isn't dull and you laugh about it later over a beer with friends, but you feel bad. The weather improves this quarter, right? Well, I don't mean to defecate on your birthday cake, but I assure you it won't. I am not saying girls won't start dressing in tighter, fruit-bearing clothing. They will, and I look forward to that. But, they'll be fooling themselves into believing the weather has improved. We liye in Bellirigham. The weather is gorgeous in the summer, not thespring.

Everybody in the church tries yearly to imitate what Jesus when he fasted in the desert for 40 days by giving something up. Josh Hartnett gave up sex in "40 Days and 40 Nights." One time I gave up cussing and I started out with the best, honest intentions. I lasted three weeks. Then I said: "eff that shit," and used the excuse I'm surprised more people don't use â€” "Well, I gave it a fair shot. Guess Jesus was a better man thanl." This quarter, things are even looking up for me academically, but the usual pitfalls still exist. The main _ one is fourth-floor classes. Whose bright idea was it to make buildings on campus this tall in the first place? When I first saw that I had a class in Room 420 of the Communications Facility, I laughed. I was ecstatic. I thought it was the greatest thing since Smucker's put peanut butter and jelly in the same jar. But after I walked four flights of stairs on the first day, I wanted to die. My chest heaved and I slowly began to fall backward before I grabbed the railing and dragged myself up the final steps. I could take the elevator, but I've tricked my lazy ass into thinking I have a phobia so I get some exercise. If I witness an elevator open to completion, whichever floor it stops on next is the number of days I have left to live. Needless to say, if you see someone running and screaming away from an elevator, it's me. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Another bright spot for me was the absence of a 700-milUon-foot line at the bookstore â€” I didn't have to wait two hours to fork over half my life's savings. I even narrowly avoided taking an 8 a.m. class. As I dropped it, I swear the clouds in the sky parted, choruses of angels sang and I was consumed with a bright, warm light. Spring quarter is a new beginning like newborn bunnies. That's what. I picture when I think spring. I say be the bunnies, start fresh and make copious amounts of love to what is clearly.the best quarter of the academic year here at Western. ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 15 ---------- APRIL 4,2006 OPINIOISJS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢15 Absolutei You've got^ kidding.

Release of Abu Ghraib photos jfopaixlizes troop s i f i^ BY Bows KURBANOV The Western Front Pictures may be worth more man a thousand words after all, ifme U.S. government doesn't act soon. The Bush administration V efforts to suppress disturbing images of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison came to a halt March 28, after a court order required the Department of Defense to turn over photographs and videos documenting the abuse, according to a March 29 CNN.com article. The decision is the resuh of an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit against the department in October 2003. The ACLU wanted the department to release documents related to abuse of detaineesheld m U.S. custody aoioad, according to an Aiig. 13,2005, Washington Post article. The right to freedom of information overturned me claim that me release ofthe photos wc gt;uldtanu^tlte nation's image and fuelterrorism if me govenirnent released the pictures. After the release of the infamous Abu Ghraib photos in May 2004, the American liberators became worse than the Iraqi dictators in the eyes of the international community. Critics of the decision, such as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard Myers, warned the department that releasing photos and videotapes of detainee abuse and torture at Abu Ghraib aids al-Qaeda recruitment, weakens the new government in Iraq and incites riots against U.S. troops, according to the Washington Post article. Myers is right What makes abetter recruitment poster for terrorists than a picture of a hooded prisorier hooked to electrical wires? The release of the photos is not a victory for the public's right.to know about theabuseof detainees held in U.S. custody abroad, Images such as these jeopardize the security ofU.S. troops and the security ofthe United States by giving terrorists an excuse to kill Americans. The: media shouldbe more discreet about rdeasing photos that only help America's enemies' causes around the world. International media outlets, such as Al-Jazeera, have sensationalized the Ami Ghraib scandal. This coverage promotes increased hatred toward, the United States to potential terrorists who see it as an imperialistic nation see RESTRAINT, page 16 Now Pre-leasing for Summer and Fall!!! m* Adrik PJQCC: ^^/MamisS^^A4^ed townhouses w/ 2 bath, 1 2 car garages/ yards.

She doesn't set a particularly high moral standard for her younger female fans regarding premarital sex either. It's hard for Spears to overcome the eternally- : pubescent teen idol image her critics bind her to. For years, Spears sang about the heartache of trying to gain acceptance as a mature, grown woman. Songs such as "Overprotected" or "I'm â€” Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" illustrate a mature woman, desperate to find her place in an adult world foreign to her. Nothing shouts womanhood like stretch marks and heaving lactiferous breasts. 'Nothing shouts womanhood like stretch marks and heaving lactiferous breasts.' Sure, a baby and stroller show she is responsible enough to sustain another human life for more than a week, but the sculpture is also about her incomplete quest for womanhood. How could her opponents deny her the chance to show off . . her widened hips, bulging stomach and maternal figure? Edwards' art shows that Spears is a slave to no one. Not to her parents, the media and certainly, not to traditional ideologies of â€”â€”â€”â€” post-marital pregnancy. In fact, she is an inspiration and should be celebrated the way Edwards embraced her in his art. As she sang in her 2000 hit "Stronger," she is stronger than yesterday; her loneliness isn't killing her any more. Restraint: Pictures endanger U.S. soldiers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 prying into the Middle East for its own economic and political interests. Images of Army Pfc. Lynndie England, one of the U.S. soldiers now famous for her role in the abuse at Abu Ghraib, pointing at a man's genitals or giving a thumbs-up behind a pyramid of naked bodies tarnishes America's image with Iraqis, with Muslims and with the rest of the world. If Iraqi insurgents took American soldiers as prisoners, they would-be unlikely to treat them humanely knowing the Bush administration has no regard for the rights of prisoners. President George W. Bush's dismal 36 percent approval rating, according to a March 14 Gallup Poll, and the public's increasing uneasiness with the war in Iraq have not gone unnoticed by insurgents and terrorists. They want the growing political opposition at home to force Bush to call for withdrawal of troops. The media should consider censoring such images to respect the bravery of the men and women of the U.S. military who are fighting and dying to protect the nation. Networks that broadcast these photos should keep the troops' safety and well-being in mind. Bush's failures in Iraq may adversely affect the troops, but overemphasizing the images can only lead to a lengthening of the quagmire in Iraq. The success of the American war effort in Iraq crucially depends on retaining public support in the United States and winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi citizens. The images leaked from Abu Ghraib are undennining that task and the military's ability to convince Iraqis to support the United States' plan for democracy in the already unstable country.

By the way, the Germain place is tabbed, "Dead End." AMERICA AND COLLEGE God built a, continent with glory, filled with treasures untold. He bedecked it with soft rolling^ pairiles and pillared it with thundering mountains. He studded it with flowing fountains,-and encompassed : it with long winding streams. He graced it with deep and shaclpwed forests and glistening blue wates. • These treasures';would have meant, littleif myriads^nf people^ the bray-je^ t; ^ races^ h #£ $rii^^ Carter £omes Tuesday Juanita Carter, American soprano, will appear in Tuesday's assembly. Born in Frankfort, Kentucky, Miss Carter has been singing since she was four, and when she was thirteen, she took up music as a career. Studying in New York under Oscar Seagle and later with Nadia Boulanger, she has sung with many oratorio societies and in concert. Miss Carter was the leading soprano with the Philadelphia Opera Company, and has appeared with the Boston Symphony, the' National Symphony Orchestra, and the CBS .orchestra, under Howard Barlow. Next Friday's assembly is the dance recital by Eleanor King. Remedial Meet Big Success The conference on the Education of Exceptional Children, which was held here last Thursday and Friday, July 6 and 7, was well attended by college students and educators, from off the campus. The conference was sponsored by the state department in cooperation with the college. Those who attended report that it was all very interesting and decidedly worth-while. At 10 o'clock on the first day, President Haggard gave the address of welcome, followed by the singing of the National anthem, led by Don Bushell., Miss Emma Erickson gave a" brief overview of the conference. Mr. E. L. Lindman of the state department told of the individual differences in children. Mrs. Beryl Bruff of Lowell School accepted the challenge for the schools of the state of Washington. Then followed a symposium on special service agencies and departments which are ready to help the schools: Mr. W. H. Dutton gave a summary of the morning session. Miss Erickson adjourned the meeting to go to Edens Hall for luncheon. At one o'clock in the afternoon the Workshop in Academic Problems was conducted by Miss Erickson, and the Workshop in Problems in Vision was conducted by Miss Elizabeth Mills of the State Depart- (Continued on Page Three) Pan--American Show Concludes Today The Pah-American gt; Art Exhibit being shown daily in the studio of the Art Department of Western Washington College I will be shown •for the last time today.

''"'" " Much Needed Staff Directory Board Under Construction Do you know where to find the office of your history teacher? If a visitor asked you, could you direct him to librarian's office or the office of the janitor? Nearly every student on the campus has at one time been in this embarrassing predicament, where he cannot locate a particular faculty member. For the past three years plans have been projected for a guide which would solve the problem. Though none of these plans ma- , terialized, a start on a "directory was made this spring by Lorna Jean Booras and Marilyn Anderson, WW Collegian staff members. This summer another staf member, Pat Bellingharn, is working on this catalogue of offices. Upon completion, the directory, which will be of wood construction, will carry the names and office numbers of ail faculty and administrative assistants, listed alphabetically, under department "headings. As. now planned, the directory will be placed inside the entrance to the main building on the left hand side of the stairway., Next Industrial Trip To Plywood Plant The next industrial tripwill be taken through the Plwood plant on Tuesda^ afternoon, July 18th.

Dr. Haggard, stated he felt the group would wait until after the November elections before furthering their plans.' Included in the budget plans were allotments for the proposed new buildings on the campus.

With no more warning than an almost inaudible swish, a portion of Mt. Baker swooped down upon an unexpecting party of young collegiate hikers. When the slide had completed its mission of death, a count of the party revealed that six of its members were missing. JULIUS DORNBLUT, ALICE JAMES, MAYNARD HOWATT, HOPE WEIT- .MAN, VENE FISHER, and BEULAH LINDBERG did not answer roll call which was sounded off .by hike leaders, ,L. A. McGee, Chet Ullin and Don Cross. They were dead. Death is a five letter word that means a lot. Not only does it mean just dying, but what after that. Those six young people, climbing Mt. Baker, full of happy thoughts, didn't want to die, but that's the way death is. You never know. That's why out of due respect and in memory of those people, we, who are still alive, should think more about the meaning of the word. Maybe it's just fear that doesn't let us think too strongly on the subject. If it is fear that does it, let it be so. For it is not a fear that deprives one of the use of his reason, but rather o fear that clarifies the atmosphere of the mind and sharpens the powers of reason itself. It is not fear that causes the mind to be "sicklied" with the pale cast of thought, but rather the mind that has become sluggish through unrestrained passion, the mind of the person that adopts the philosophy of eat, drink and be merry, but without the thought that tomorrow one may die. He is satisfied to know that he is alive and well. He rarely reflects on why he is at all or on what is the An architect's plans of a Memorial for those students who lost their lives on the slopes of Mt. Baker five years ago are now almost completely fulfilled. Situated on the hillside between Edens Halland the administrative building on the Campus, this memorial lacks only the addition of mountain shrubbery and the bronze name plates. Name placques for the six students will be placed on the inside of the rock wall which has been so designed as4o form a bench. Bronze, which will be used'for the plates will not be purchased until after the war. The memorial has been planned with the thought that students will use the memorial as a place for lounging, sun bathing, or studying. A committee, composed of WWC students and Miss Hazel Plympton, ultimate meaning and purpose of life *? department, and Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick, who was a member of The memory of those six young people will live long in the hearts of the faculty and the school. You just don't forget things such as that. A memorial has been erected to commemorate the occasion of their deaths. Whenever you pass that memorial, today and any other day, but today especially, just mutter a prayer for the six students, whose names will be placed on separate plaques as soon as the war ceases.

For you now there will never be the slow breaking Of the early dream, the abandoned undertaking, The fine plans forgotten and put aside There will be none of this for you now: you were young when you died. You will never listen now for music finished: For you the song ends on the high note, unfaltering, undiminished. And you will be forever climbing upward now,'the long splendid climb: Weariness can never hold you back, nor the world, nor Time. Goodbye: • the dream endures.

There were nine groups of observers, each group going to a different classroom in the Campus school. Dr. Grim conducted a tour of the whole Campus Elementary School Building before luncheon.l The afternoon session was a Workshop in the Problems of Hearing and a Workshop in the Problems of Speech. The conference was adjourned at 5 o'clock. Tragic Outing Remembered Today is the fifth anniversary of the Mt. Baker tragedy, which killed six former members of the student body during a summer quarter hike up the steep slopes of the mountain. The accident occurred on a Sunday morning in the month of July, The party of 25 WWC students were trudging their way along beneath the Roman Wall on the last stage of the hike. Six of the party were swept to their death with only two bodies being recovered. As it gathered up momentum the avalanche gave no quarter and swallowed all twenty-five members of the group. Early reports had it that the six victims were in a group when struck were discounted by stories of the survivors, who told of the almost selecting nature of the disaster. The body of Alice James, then president of Edens Hall, was located at the foot of a forty-foot icy overhang, while the body of former Collegian editor, Julius Dornblut was discovered in a crevasse some hundred feet beyond the cliff of ice.

Mrs. Catey previously was associated with the Illinois State Normal University, at Normal, Illinois. A graduate of the Colorado College of Education, she is especially trained in the teaching of exceptional children.

Present: Chairman J. J. Edens, Trustees Donovan and Hammer, Principal Mathes and the Registrar. The minutes of the meeting of March 18th were read and approved. Principal Mathes presented the appended: MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE THREE NORMAL SCHOOLS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. April 3, 1912. Moved by Dr. Mathes that we elect a chairman and secretary for this meeting. Motion carried. By motion, Mr. G. A. Fellows was elected chairman, and H. N. Stronach, secretary. Moved and carried that all actions taken by this general Board shall be ratified by the Board of Trustees of each normal school before becoming effective and official. Principal Showalter, of Cheney, reported on our normal school lands. A general discussion followed, touching the manner in which these lands are now handled, proceeds from sales of same, interest on cash fund, etc. Moved by Dr. Mahan that the three normal school principals, as a Committee from the trustees, be named to act with the other institutions to recommend some legislation regarding the sales and the handling of our normal school lands. Motion carried unanimously. Moved by Dr. Mahan that the three normal school principals also make recommendations, through their Board of Trustees, to the State legislature, with reference to the distribution of the interest and lease money derived from normal school lands. Motion seconded and carried unanimously. A general discussion then followed touching matters of vital interest to the three normal schools, which was finally embodied in the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED by the three normal schools that we recommend as follows: (1) That the school year shall begin on the first Tuesday in September, of each year, and close about the first of June following. (2) That the summer session shall begin on the Monday following the annual Commencement, and close not later than August first following. (3) That the month of August shall be known as the regular midsummer vacation. (4) It shall be the duty of the principals of the three normal schools each year before the publication of the annual catalogues, to prepare a uniform calendar for use in all of the normal schools in the state for the following school year. (5) The salaries of all teachers regularly employed by the WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 083 1912-04-26 normal schools in the State shall be paid, each year, in twelve equal monthly payments, beginning with September; but it shall be understood that the salary of any teacher shall not be paid for the months of June and July, when such teacher, at his own request, is excused by the Board of Trustees from teaching in the summer session of the institution for that year, and it shall further be understood that each member of any faculty shall, without prejudice, be entitled to be excused from work in a summer session each alternate year, under conditions stated in this paragraph. (6) That teachers who may wish to be excused from service in any summer school session shall so signify such desire to the Principal not later than April 1st preceding the summer session. Moved and carried that it is the sense of this meeting that a uniform contract would be advantageous, and that the matter be submitted to Mr. Lund to prepare a draft with a view of having same approved and adopted by each of the normal schools. Moved and carried that we heartily endorse the Page Bill now pending in the United States Congress, and that we co-operate in every possible way to bring about its final passage during the present session. Touching the Page bill, the following resolution was adopted: "We believe the Page Bill provides more completely and more adequately for all the provisions of practical education than any bill of similar character having been proposed in our national legislative body. We feel that such a measure will guarantee a basis for the furtherance of this all-important educational work which is both needed and demanded throughout our country."

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 084 1912-04-26 The principal presented the appended: State Normal School Bellingham, Washington. To the Board of Trustees: The regular session of the school year for 1911-1912 will close Wednesday, June 5th, and the work of the year has witnessed a number of important improvements. Among these improvements may be mentioned the completion of the organization of the high school department in the training school; the addition of assistant teachers in the departments of English, foreign languages and home economics; the construction of some thirty oak book cases, the purchase of nearly one thousand volumes for the library and the employment of an assistant for this department; the erection of an open-air school building; the construction of a dozen pieces of playground apparatus; the installation of several drinking fountains, and the purchase of more than four thousand dollars' worth of apparatus for the various departments of the institution. While there has been no increase in the attendance over the previous year, the requirements for admission have been raised, and several new elective courses have been offered. The outlook for the summer session of 1912 and for the coming school year is very encouraging, and, in order that adequate preparation may be made for the session of the coming year, the following items are respectfully submitted for the consideration of the Board of Trustees. First: There is urgent need for an additional critic teacher in our training department. The gradual increase in the enrollment in our junior and senior classes has likewise increased the number of practice teachers each quarter, until at present it is necessary for certain critic teachers each to attempt to supervise, some quarters of the year, daily, the work of twenty-five to thirty practice teachers. It will be necessary to pay $1,200.00 to $1,400.00 per year for this additional teacher. It can probably be arranged so that the employment of this additional supervisor may be delayed until February, 1913, but we urge the desirability of formally establishing the position at this time, so that the work for the coming year may be intelligently outlined and assigned. Second: The establishment of the ninth and tenth grades in the training school has increased the enrollment of that department until we have at present about 160 children in the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades, one half of whom are boys. These eighty boys, together with the forty young men in the normal school, should be given additional opportunities for industrial training. The work in manual training offered in the institution at present is highly satisfactory for the girls in all classes of the institution, and these is plenty of work, with the girls alone, to occupy the full time of the two teachers now in the department. We recommend, therefore, the establishment of a department of industrial training for men, and the employment of a young man, for this coming year, if possible, to take charge of the work in manual training for the boys of all grades and classes in the institution. To carry forward this work successfully, this young man should be provided with materials from which to contruct, with student labor, a small wooden building in which to carry on his work. The salary for this position should be not less than $1,200.00 for the first year. Third: The very limited appropriation granted to this institution by the legislature for general printing purposes has, for a number of years, proven a constant handicap in the daily work as well as in the general advertising features of the institution. We believe, therefore, that it would be wise to provide equipment for a small printing office in the institution and have the same operated as a part of our regular manual training work. In this way, much printing could be done for the school with practically no cost except for materials used. Such an equipment need not cost more than $200.00 for the first year, as we already have considerable available material in our equipment for the writerpress, which is a printing machine for duplicating typewritten work. Fourth: During the past year, through a temporary arrangement, we have been able to give the young men of the school some systematic instruction in physical training, and by an expenditure of about $30.00 to $40.00 per month, this arrangement could be continued through another school year, and thus provide competent physical instruction for the young man, both in the gymnasium and on the athletic field. The young men of the normal school and of the high school grades have petitioned for this work, and it should, if possible, be provided. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 085 1912-04-26 Fifth: Owing to the failure of Mr. T. A. Bonser, of Spokane, to report for work in the department of zoology last September, it was necessary, just at the opening of the school year, to reorganize, to a limited extent, the assignments for work in the science departments for the current school year; but in the judgment of the writer, little loss was sustained as a result of the readjustment, and it is not believed that it will be necessary to fill that department for the coming year; but some provision should be made for carrying on the work of the department. We suggest two or three methods for taking care of this question: (a) The department may be continued and Mr. Moodie given the position of Professor of Botany and Acting Professor of Zoology. (b) The two departments might be consolidated into one general department to be called the "department of biology." If this is done, it will be necessary for teachers in other departments to assist in the work of this department, which is not always satisfactory or desirable, from the standpoint of members of the faculty. (c) The work of zoology might be added to the department of botany, and the work in physiology and hygiene added to the department of school nurse. By this plan, we probably could provide satisfactorily for the work of the department, for the present at least, and this we believe is the most desirable solution of the problem. In making this re-adjustment, it is recommended that the salaries of the teachers in the departments affected be reconsidered and suitable increases granted. Sixth. No department in the institution has met with more universal endorsement than that of Home Economics, and this department is seriously in need of additional room. By a readjustment of our museum, a large part of the third floor of the science building may be made available for this department, but the alterations necessary to render the rooms suitable for domestic science work would cost probably $250.00. If the Home economics department were moved to the third floor, the Y. W. C. A. might be moved to the basement, which would give an additional room for the high school work, and this will be needed in the near future. Unless we can see our way clear to erect a cottage within two or three years for the home economics department, the readjustment suggested above should be made at the first opportunity. Seventh. It is recommended that the Trustees authorize the further investigation of available lands for a demonstration garden, and that such steps be taken as may be necessary to lease land upon which to begin such demonstration work not later than April, 1915. Eighth: The resignation of Miss Ruth A. Gottlieb, as School Nurse, makes it necessary to secure a new instructor for that position. The importance and steady growth of this work make it imperative that the position shall not be left vacant for the coming year, and a number of letters of inquiry have already been sent out asking for candidates for the position. Ninth. We beg to report the resignation of Prof. G. Sidney Stark, as teacher of stringed instruments, and wish to recommend strongly Mrs. Mamie Davenport Engberg, of this city, to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Stark. We recommend, further, that the position be tendered Mrs. Engberg upon the same or similar terms as were accepted by Mr. Stark. Tenth. A study of the Recommendations passed at the joint meeting of the Boards of Trustees of the three State Normal Schools, held in Cheney, April 3rd, 1912, will suggest the need of a readjustment of the salaries of our faculty if these recommendations are adopted by this Board. The following brief analysis of the question will suggest the minimum increase in salaries that will approximately cover the extra service demanded of each teacher. At present, we really demand of each teacher three weeks of Summer school work in addition to the regular school year to entitle him to pay for all twelve months in the year. Under the new plan proposed, each teacher will be required to work about seven or eight weeks in addition to the regular school year to be entitled to pay for all twelve months of the calendar year, which means that we will require about one month more of work under the new plan WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for April 1912 Volume 04 - Page 086 1912-04-26 from each teacher annually than we require under the present plan. It seems clear, therefore, that we must increase the salary of each teacher at least by the amount of one month of his salary if we are to compensate him for the extra service required under the new contract. This will mean an increase of $3,650.00 for the year and will increase the cost of salaries about $2,130 for the remainder of the present biennium. In the light of other urgent needs, as outlined above, this question of readjustment of salaries should receive very careful and yet, if possible, favorable consideration. All of which is respectfully submitted. Principal. The principal was authorized to investigate the matter of securing a man to assist in the teaching on the Manual Training department. He was also authorized to purchase a small printing press and some type. He was further authorized to engage a student assistant in the department of Physical Culture at a salary of from $30.00 to $40.00 per month. Miss Montgomery appeared before the Board by request to present her grievance that Miss Gray had been sent to Spokane to attend a meeting of the deans of the northwestern state schools while she, Miss Montgomery, had not been granted expenses to attend a meeting of the Inland Empire State Teachers association at Pendleton, Oregon, several years ago. The discussion extended over an hour but no action was taken. Trustee Donovan read a personal letter from Governor Hay announcing that he had been compelled to postpone his visit to Bellingham and this school until about the 20th of May. The chairman offered the written resignation, addressed to him, of Miss Gottlieb as School Nurse in the Department of Hygiene to take effect Sept. 1st, 1912. It was ordered that the resignation be accepted. The appended bills were approved for payment: MAINTENANCE FUND J. Wayland Clark, Registrar, Revolving Fund - $386.75. Ehrlich-Harrison Co. - 98.40.

Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20.

Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s : ; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E. Vemey, Vir- Sginia B. Reynolds, and Olive "Edens," jthe June issue will contain (etc)." ; lt; ;"Heart and Hand" is a story of v-theiWest, in fact, it centers in Ana- 'cortes, on Puget Sound. Miss Edens oJsaid: "Every story "which I have 8^;5,K ?«: sold has as its background the Puget |fgf| ;3p^Sound region.

She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20.

A charming outdoor play, which was worked out by the children in the fourth and fifth grades, was given on the far side of the knoll at nine o'clock this morning. The play, called "Forest Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds, flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,- gathering flowers. Enter, the Spirit of the Wood.

Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their cause through the periodicals.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week.

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney. Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile run—Reed, C, 4:42.2. Shot put—Large, B., 40»6.%". iOO-yard dash—-Fogarty, E, 10.4.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game.

'•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon.

Tlotes By WALT BAKER NORSE NOTES We all wonder sometimes, just what goal the United Nations and we, as individuals, have in mind as to why we ore fighting. Even the men on the fighting fronts wonder as well as the populace ot home. We just can't say this is the war to vend all wars, or that we want to exterminate certain racial groups^ The proceeding reasons hold a .semblance of truth, but we have and should have more solid reasoning and more facts on just what our ultimate aim will be. We are a nation at war and the ultimate aim of War is peace. Peacej however, is far more than the cessation of armed conflict. Opponents in battle may cease fighting because of exhaustion of material or man-power, problems the Axis nations face today. A truce, and even weather may enter the problem. These, however, are not sighs of peace, for the causes of the conflict have not been removed. The controversy has not been settled. Neither side has given up. Hostilities are merely suspended, to flare up again when circumstances permit. No, peace is more than tranquility. It is tranquility grounded in order, and in an order of justice, in law, rather than in armed might. THE ENEMY'S PEACE The peace our enemies see, and the only one they are fighting tooth and nail for, on their own admission, is a conqueror's paradise. Ic is a world ruled by force, maintained by force and administered by force. It is an order dominated by men" rather than by "laws, an" order in which there' are one or more master minds arid master nations for that matter, with the others held in bondage and suffering oppression. Their so-called new order, already imposed upon the nations they have conquered, and are losing one by one, is not really new, but a reversion to a pre- Christian pagan order, and without the saving graces even of the ancient order. IN CONTRAST: By contrast, the peace we are fighting' for is a world, not of oppressions, but of freedoms. "This free-ness, this liberty," declare our leaders, "this precious thing men love and mean to save, is the granite ledge on which the United Nations now propose to raise their new world after victory... These freedoms are: freedom of speech, of worship, and freedom from want and fear... It is not claimed that this list of freedom's is exhaustive, that men may have no others... But it is asserted that these four are the basic ones to democratic living, and that they are so interdependent that where one is missing, all of the others suffer. BASKETBALL: Tomorrow night, Coach Charles Lappenbusch and his right hand assistant, Cale Campbell, will send the up-and-down Viking casaba squad, who will be playing the role of modern David against a strong and versatile University of Washington team, starred in the role of Goliath in the first game of a top notch home and home series. Last year's Viking squad, also playing the role of o David, met the UW team and literally scared the pants off the powerful purple and gold outfit from Seattle, when they dropped two heart-breakers to the Huskies. Let's do our part, and every last one of us, including the faculty, turn out there to support the wearers of the Blue and White. FLASH!! All students must enter the East door of the gym Saturday night and will-be required to sit in the section reserved for the student body ticket holders.
