For those who seek beauty and pleasure in height, there will be a trek up Church mountain, and for those who enjoy shopping and sight-seeing, there will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. Emphasis is placed «n the bus trip to Vancouver because tomorrow is the last Saturday before the ruling goes into effect that a certificate of citizenship will be necessary to get back into the United States. Leaving the Bellingham bus depot at 8:30 a. m., the bus will arrive at the Vancouver station at 10:30. Suggested points of interest within walking distance, such as Chinatown, linen shops, and places to eat, will be provided. All sightseeing "buses in "Vancouver"''leave' from the depot. Because there will be room for only thirty-six people, students were urged to sign the bulletin board early this week. Cost is $1.50 for round trip. But for those who are planning to climb to Kulshan cabin over the Fourth of July, the Church mountain trek is a requirement. The trail starts slightly above Glacier and goes onward and upward along a quiet forest path, and through acres of colorful flowers in an alpine meadow until one sits on top of the world with Mount Baker almost in his lap, according to Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation director. The party will meet on the campus in front of Edens hall at 7:00 a. m. tomorrow morning. A trail lunch and a cup are required, plus stout walking shoes, sun glasses, and a light extra sweater. The deadline for signatures on the bulletin board is 2:00 o'clock this afternoon. Cost of the trip is 75 cents.

A worthwhile effort of President Haggard has been realized in bringing this meeting to WWC. We suggest you make this effort worth your while by attending as many of the sessions as possible. It will be your best chance to get acquainted with the prominent educators of the Northwest. • AS A RESULT OF LEGISLATION recently passed, teachers planning to teach in this state in the fall are required to take a Mantoux test for tuberculosis. This action has been praiseworthy and somewhot startling in its outcome. Mantoux tests should not only be limited to teachers in the field but required of students before they enter the training school. Unfortunate, indeed, it would be for a student who had successfully passed four years of college life in preparation for a teaching profession, only to find that he was a carrier of active tuberculosis germs. , Of course, treatment can be had, but it would be much better to find out this information at an earlier time during one's college career. To gather this knowledge at a time when one is about to embark upon a professional career is rather a severe blow. • AFTER A WEEK OF APPREHENSION as to whether the Collegian made itself'clear on its new policy of a more professional basis, we again extend our invitation to teachers and students to write for us about their problems and philosophies. What teaching problems did you solve during the last year? What ones didnt you solve and would like help on? Did you read any good books on teacher aids? What were some of the interesting things about your curriculum? Did your financial set-up hinder your teaching of progressive education? How did you find teacher and public relations in your community? Have you any suggestions to pass along to new teacfiers entering the field? Tell us about them, won't you? • MAY WE ADD OUR CONGRATULATIONS to those already received by the Bellingham Herald for their last Sunday's edition emblematic of "Fifty Years of Progress.' It is a noteworthy achievement showing the forward movement of the cities of Northwest Washington during the last half century. Also outstanding was the history of Western Washington college, written by Eric Phillips, a Collegian staff writer during the last year. • AFTER A YEAR OF CAMPAIGNING back in 1937 to have the sign opposite the College Inn changed from Normal Drive to College Drive, we find, now three years later, that the city fathers have agreed to compromise with the Collegian. The sign now reads: Sehome Hill—Park! 'OurTown' Rocks New York Two seasons ago New York theater audiences went to jsee a show without scenery or properties and kept that show going for a year on Broadway. That production was "Our Town,' which is to be presented by the WWC division of drama for its summer quarter offering, July 11 and 12. In a city of theaters famed for elaborate production standards, this was an unusual event. The thing that held them was the simplicity and beauty of the story itself. Two young people talked to each other from their windows across the alley while the village choir rehearsed down the street and Dr. Gibbs, father of George, read the evening paper downstairs. Three different scenes at the same time would have been practically impos- AMtMCAN / / sible on a stage realistically set with real scenery and furnishings. This novel effect was achieved by having George and Emily on top of step-ladders with Dr. Gibbs at a table to the right of the stage and the choir in the orchestra pit. A daring, expressionistic departure from realism is shown in the third act when Emily, departing from this life in an untimely way, is laid to rest with her family. In the cemetery the dead of the little village sit passively and serenely in rows of chairs while the funeral procession wends its way into the cemetery. There is no attempt at tombstones or weeping willows, yet the audience feels the austerity and simplicity of death and life in rural America of 1904. Technique Classes Learn About Modern Curricula By Lela 'Kaufman Two groups of persons with teaching experience, the T. T. 192 class in curriculum construction in the elementary school and, T. T. 173 class in curriculum construction In the junior high school are working to learn some of the "whys" and hows" of modern curricula. The elementary group of 24 members with Miss Marjorie Dawson formulated certain definite understandings they hoped to attain, then divided into ..committees to work upon these topics. With a few thought - provoking questions raised by Miss Dawson, the class carries on enthusiastic discussion for part of the two-hour daily period. The remaining time is devoted to research work to see what is being done elsewhere. Nine members comprise the junior high group who meet with Miss Elsie Wendllng in her office. Individual conferences, group discussions, reading, studying, and writing fill the two-hour period. Immediate access is thus secured to a large selection of books containing needed material. Each person works with his own particular problem and situation in mind. In both groups a brief historical background is furnished along with considerable study of modern curricula through the United States, such as the Winnetka movement. Some of the educators' catchwords —activity movement, progressive education, integration — are being invested with meaning. Emphasis is placed upon fitting the school to the child rather than the reverse. In short, the aim of both of these advanced classes is not to make a curriculum for some definite setting but to give a clearer idea of all curricular construction. HAGGARD SPEAKS TO SEDRO ROTARIANS With Dr. W. W. Haggard as their main speaker, .the Sedro-Woolley Rotarians entertained with an informal "ladies night" dinner in the city hall last night. Incoming Rotary club presidents and their wives from* Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Oak Harbor and Everett were present. l Newscasters Picked For Summer The Collegian radio studio was the scene of Intense activity last Thursday as some twenty-three students tried their hand at radio announcing. Students read script for over an hour in room 311 while Instructor Victor H. Hoppe and graduate student Leonard Newquist judged in the control room. The winners: Russell Jackson, Francelia Smith, Art Clark, and Shirlee Cratsenberg. Alternates chosen were Jackie Hillis arid Beverly Walker. Victors took the air Thursday evening for the first newscast of the summer season. The permanent rewrite staff was also announced this week. Members are: Irene fyhn, Reda Eaton, Delayne Walton, Shirlee Cratsenberg, Betty Solibakke, Francelia Smith, and Wayne Kotula. The rewrite staff takes the stories off the galleys of the Collegian early Thursday morning and threshes them into shape for the rehearsal at 4:00 o'clock that afternoon. Broadcasts are under the direction of Leonard Newquist and Bill Tiffany, with Dr. Jack Cotton of the speech department and Mrs. Ruth Burnet as faculty advisers. WHITHER TOMORROW By Lorain Montgomery The quotation, "As a man thinketh so is he," is very old. Yet it is one that is still good and usable. If we .want to change a man we begin by working on his thought processes, because that is the thing that precedes the act of a man. That is the foundation for the truth of the quotation. Have you ever heard of any one doing something without thinking? I have. But that is because the thought processes for that particular act were built long, long ago. And did you ever try to change an act that is done without thinking? Where did you begin? You do not go about it in a superficial manner; you go back to the foundation where the act has its roots in the being—to the thought processes. We attempt to discover the original cause of an undesirable thoughtless actact habit, and sometimes we discover a cause that is completely alien to the act itself. The cause may be some unsatisfied desire that finds satisfaction through unusual channels. By satisfying the cause we may in time be able to substitute a desirable for an undesirable act and the habit is said to be broken. Frequently a habit remains long after the original cause has ceased to exist. •• The easiest time to work with a habit is when it is the shortest distance removed from its cause. That is usually in childhood when the thought processes are being built in when the character of the individual is being formed. When then is the most important period of a man's life? It is clear that the thoughts of the past exert an influence on the thought processes of the future. The child is truly "father of the man" and childhood is the most important period. Those who govern and direct this period of growth are "shaping the course of the future man." Consequently, the thoughts of tomorrow's world will be largely determined by the teacher of today, Merrill Likes Children By Lela Kaufman With cheeping Bantie chicks as a background, Miss Anne F. Merrill, kindergarten instructor for the summer, • talked enthusiastically about her avocation. "I'm afraid it's terribly trite to say that my hobby is children, but that's what it is," the blue-eyed quiet-voiced young woman said. "I like to ride horseback. Before I became so busy, that was a hobby but it is nearly impossible to ride in a large city," she stated. Every summer this westem-bred instructor—she is a native of Salt Lake City and a graduate of Stanford—forsakes Pittsburgh where she teaches in the Falk demonstration school to drive to the Pacific coast. "I have driven over most of California, and I love to come up here in the Pacific Northwest,' she declared. "I always spend my summers with my mother. Now we are staying in Dr. Spearin's house which has a lovely view and rose garden." She has vacationed two'years in Seattle and two enjoyable summers in Victoria, which she considers the ideal vacation spot.

That's just what happened last Monday night when a group of our recreationalists were about to spend an evening of singing, salmon, and sunset at The Rocks, a popular campfire site near South Bel-lihgh'am. The aforementioned Mr. S. Lion seems to have lost all sense of direction and planted himself on the sand. What we're getting at is . . . frankly, comrades, the stench was awful. . . . But that didn't stop proceedings . . . no, siree!! Dr. Bond picked up his salmon, seaweed and all and carted it out to the college property at Lakewood where everyone feasted and sniffed sweet sniffs once more. • . Any of you who can spare a few minutes of your time would find it well worth your while to drop in at the recreational headquarters in the Dean of Mens office and chat with genial Chet Ullin. Chet is assisting Miss Weythman with the college recreational activities this summer^ Many of you probably already know of him as a good skier, song leader, and former Viking football luminary, but the accomplishment upon which he prides himself the most is that of being a guide. Chet has not only led numerous hiking parties up Mt. Baker, but also is well acquainted with the trails of the Olympic peninsula. His tales are filled with exciting adventure and what's more they're true . . . I hope. He is a walking Chamber of Commerce for our great Northwest and We should be proud to say that "he is one of us." Hither, thither, and yon . . . We understand through the grapevine that Russ Eyer is planning to come back to school one of these years and win back his pole vault crown. . . . That's swell,- Russ . . . and if there are any more cindersmiths around like you bring 'em around because we can SURE use ' e m . . . . Russ also is co-holder of the conference broad jump record. . . . They say that Captain Mike Baker has the edge in the coming Intramural race with such softball experts as Hurley Boggess, Joe Moses, and Bob Smith in his lineup. . . . We look for Rodland's outfit to be right up there. . . . He's got Steve Turk, Clint McBeath, and Chuck Erickson.. . . Highlight of next week's sports program is the annual softball game with the U. of W. . . . The game is to be played in Seattle, Monday afternoon. . . . The Huskies come here for a return game later on. . . . Joe Medwick or no Joe Medwick, we'll string along with Lippy Leo's Brooklyn Dodgers. . . . They seem to have revived the lost art of "the old college try" . . . Don't say we didn't tell you. . . . So long . . . '' Mountaineers Enjoy Chuckanut Climb With Chet Ullin and Miss Lillian George setting the pace, approximately 106 avid mountaineers from WWC reached the top of Chuckanut ridge last Saturday. Leaving at 3:15 from the PE building, the party was at the top by 6:00 p. m., where they built a fire, prepared coffee, and ate their lunches, For dessert, they had a beautiful sunset, almost made to order, according to those who saw it. One group departed shortly after lunch, led down by Miss George. After sundown, the campfire was heaped high and set ablaze, and over ninety voices, led by Chet Ullin, were joined in singing new songs and having fun in general. Feature of the evening was the vocal efforts of three dogs, Patsy, Dinny, and Penny, inspired by Ullin's attempt to get an echo. Descent down the mountain was made by flashlight... and buglight, with a few brave souls sitting down and sliding on the steepest parts of the trail. Many photographs were taken—Mount Baker was especially clear—and the echo seems to be that the hike was a rousing success.

Three things will be featured during the trip—good food, interesting short trips from Kulshan cabin, and t h e summit t r ip lead by C. Appleton (Happy) Fisher. Highlighting the trek will be the excellent photographic opportunities, and t h e acres of alpine flowers now a t the height of their beauty. Summer skis will be taken by some students, for three days of fine skiing. Wednesday, July 3, t h e work crew will hike in to the cabin to cut wood and prepare the place for the group. Thursday, July 4, the main party will leave the P. E. building at 7:00 a. m. in private cars, individuals bringing their own trail lunch for that day. They will reach the cabin Thursday evening. A pack train, led by Mr. Baker, an experienced packer from Colorado, will bring in food and personal dunnage. Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation leader, counsels hikers to limit their amount of dunnage, since each person will have to carry his own dunnage out. There are blankets and accomodations for fifty people at the cabin. Fisher Guides : The party will climb up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, under Fisher's guidance, which will give them practice in snow work in .both climbing up and sliding down, and will give Fisher an opportunity to study snow conditions on the mountain. Saturday morning, those making the summit climb will- breakfast early and leave the cabin by daylight, led by Fisher and assisted by Chet Ullin. Organized hikes to the glacier or through the meadows will be taken by those remaining at the cabin. A whopping breakfast will be served Sunday morning, with the whole party leaving the cabin about 11:00; for the return trip home. Haggard Signs First person to make an enthusiastic reservation for this trip was Dr. W. W. Haggard, who signed up gt; with Miss Weythman last May. Other faculty members who will be present include Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Miss Ruth Melendy, Miss Virginia Hawke, Herbert Ruckmick, Lyle Brewer, and Miss Weythman. Cost of t h e t r ip is $5.00. People who enjoy the colorful out-of-doors in its highest beauty, campfire companionship, and good hiking are urged to' sign up.

Gay, who is currently managing editor of the Collegian, will edit the weekly paper beginning with next fall quarter. MildredSeelye was also appointed by the Board as business manager for next year. Seelye, who wasassistant business manager of the Collegian, was also appointed to this position for Spring quarter ofthis' year, to replace Loretta Olsen, who withdrew from school. Gay competed against two othercontestants for the position of editor. He is a'Korean vet who has been copy boy arid reporter on theTacoma News-Tribune, and sole reporter on a small paper which came out in Tacoma while the Tribune was on strike. He is Writer editor this quarter, has been co-sports editor and news editor of theCollegian, and was the editor of his high school paper. Because he is an accelerated student, Gaywill hold junior status at the end of fall quarter. Since none of the candidates met the requirements asstated in the Stylebook of the Collegian, they were waived in all cases and the Board's decision wasmade on qualifications for the job alone. Gay is married and expecting a tax deduction next fall.'Hecompeted with Colleen Sullivan and Jim Simon for the editor's position. Seelye is a second quarterfreshman and was assistant business manager and ad solicitor last quarter for the Collegian. Shewill-be married this summer and will return next fall while her future husband is in the service. Board Has Problem: To Cut Budget Despite High Prices Budget slashing is the current problem of variousdepartments of Western Washington College. Most departments are requesting more money'â€¢â€¢ for gt; the gt; 1953-54 school year as compared to 1952. The reason lies in the higher cost of living andthe, rise of prices. Original budget requests submitted to Mark Hardie, ASB president, have alreadybeen cut by the respective departments. However, more cutting is on the agenda. Members of thebudget committee and the! Board of Control met last night to study the tentative budget plan. The Boardof Control will meet to work on the budget at 4 p. m. next Thursday. Hardie said, "It is hoped the-Department of Directors will approve the budget when work on it is complete. We plan to have it ready by the end of spring quarter."

This has been due, chiefly, to the discovery by certaincongressional committees, that a few educators were proyen, or suspected to be, subversive now, orsubversive gt;t one time This has caused near panic on some, campuses in the. country. A case iseven oh record of one educator refusing an invitation of an organization which has been designated by thegovernment as definitely not subversive. r This could be construed as an indictment against education.That it is subversive? No! That it might be losing its intestinal fortitude! Since ancient Greece, educatorshave stood up f lt;fr what they believed. Socrates drank poison rather than recant his beliefs. We do notsay that it is good to have educatprs who might undermine our democratic system We do say, however,the students of Western Washington cpllege, many of whom will be educators, should resolve that fear will not intimidate us. The cradle of democracy and the custodian of free thought and speech in manycountries were the colleges and universities. In the middle ages educators had no guarantee that theycould say what they wished with impunity. By the panic evidenced of late this seems to be what someeducators believe should be the case.' ";' }. ;. But today, it is not his right, it is; not his privilege, it is theeducator's duty to give his views; to say what he thinks is right. In this way will he be serving his countrybest. Education must5 be dynamic. To be static is to retrogress. If educators hYde their candle ofthought under a basket, afraid someone might see a "color" in it, a great deal will be lost, for, aseducation progresses, so will the country.'..-, \ Today's college students are tomorrow's leaders" is acommon thought. But if these students are instructed by persons who are afraid~to lead, afraid to voice their convictions, what will their quality of leadership be?â€”D.

While sleepily crawling into ''the- old jalopy I could see the sun just coming up over the mountains;It. was -then that I began wondering how Homer had ever convinced me to get up so early for Campusday. Well, there was no use .thinking about it then ^-we were on our way to Whatcom Falls park. â€¢The Skit assembly wasn't sched-iried 'til at least after the sun had come up, but Homer said it would bebetter if we went straight to the park before everyone^ got there. So Spies skipped ' t b0 assembly to;get: out to. JheApa*k,Jfcef lt;jre reyerypne , else. (But I LDiErtne park when people are there.) , - .,:cArriving.- at, t h e ^ a r k we .found it absolutely .deserted, arid. ,, stayed -that \vay.,,for;ise;yera^;hqurssi Finally our friends began ...to .arrive. Coming in,,convertibles, Model. T's, and , onbicycles, they swarmed into the park. Sam and Al wer^ straggling 'wayv behind .the. rest, because jtheyhad decided, to ;W;alk L . ..; :- ^ The morning slipped by andT it was soon, time for lunch. Lunchâ€”everyone was famished! Like a swarm; of locusts t h e y devoured everything in sight. ' After lunch thegames began, starting naturally with the pie eating contest. "Uncle Harry" made his first appearancesince the day he broke his leg at the Homecoming game, and ate more pies than the entire' faculty.During the faculty-student tug-of^- war, Al and Sam finally arrived on the scene. Every one was soexcited to see them that the tug-of - war was completely forgotten. The crowd cheered the two fellowswho came straggling in. I was cheering especially because both played on our baseball team. At lastthe game started. Roger was first at bat. With power like that we easily won the game. Homer said that I was playing very well, but somebody hit the ball to me and things got all fouled up. It WAS unfair ofGeorge to hit it to meâ€” he KNOWS I can't catch. Ah! Campus day ended happily. The students andfaculty hopped into their cars, trucks, wheelbarrows and other means of transportation, and headedfor home. Sam and Al trudged wearily along Lake-way, and Homer and I pushed the eld buggy down thehill, got it started, and chugged noisily back, to Western. â€¢ WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN f ' H t '' gt;,.*". i[J {" i ?d ' ^ '*) " "Since 1899 Member Intercollegiate Press Entered assecond class matter at the post office at Bellingham by virtue of the act of Match 8, 1879. :": Printed; byCox Brothers,.

The election, fiasco of last quarter isstill fresh in our minds and there are minor violations which go unheede'd by the student body in general. I have run across several of these. It is more than a possibility that myriads of them have gone pastwithout detection. The question that comes to the forefront isâ€”"Why?". It is a dynamic questionwhich demands a positive answer and not merely some "explaining away." Is it due to the ineptitude ofour elected representativesâ€” the Board of Control, the president, the vice president? It is my beliefthat we can contribute some of the guilt to' these representatives. They, are not impeccable. ButTfurther assert-that there is a greater weakness, than mere ineptitude on the part of these officers. Thoseof you familiar with government can see it clearly. We aspire to democratic govern^ ment, yet in ourgovernmental .organization here at Western we have branches of government equivalent to our national legislative and executive branches, but where is that third branch so essential to the balance of power and the continual function of a democratic government â€”the judicial branch? We have no such branch, yet the need is a crying need. A manifest need. The past is not a dead past and will not bury itself. Itwill project itself into the future. To obliterate the occurence of last quarter, and the many unheededviolations, I propose that we take into our hands the tools of state and build that branch we lackhereâ€”the judicial branch. For the sake of a continual functioning democratic government, therequired balance of power, and emulation of the state in which we live, serve, and are, I beseech you to join in a crusade for that missing wheel of governmentâ€”the judicial branch. Sincerely, GEORGE H.COLE. Perhaps the answer lies in the in-maturity of people who make that assumption. Sincerely,JEAN LANDAHL.

AWSDefer Picnic It was announced today that the AWS commission picnic which was originally scheduledfor Monday, May 18, has been postponed and no definite date has been set for the picnic. ! ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1953 May 15 - Page 4 ---------- 9 torn By ROGER GROVDAHL Last week on one of the sunshiny days, many students were out tryingout the new game of wisket. This new game was being demonstrated for the first time on- Western'scampus. The game originated in Seattle and several leagues are springing up for wisket players. It isplayed with a baseball and bat but there, the': similarity to the original diamond game ends. Instead ofgloves the fields; use long tennis-like contraptions or wiskets as they are called. The rules are totallydifferent also. The defensive team makes all the points. The whole team, 10 men, bat around and thedefensive-team scores points. A point is obtained when a base is touched 4n gt; front of the runner. Thegame is 'an entirely new idea originating in Seattle. Many main colleges are incorporati n g ^ ;mtheirtPE curriculum: ~~ * . . . - . . Â« - . . * â€¢ â€¢ During, winter quarter there was an gt;all-^tarintramural vs. the Jayvee basketball game.vand-the game aroused much interest and comment. Although it would--be somewhat -more difficult, it would be interesting to have the-best-intramural.tplayersiteam:upto play the local baseball second teamers. Some, arrangements, may- be reached by having threeinnings :of-fastball played andâ€ž then three innings of baseball, or a coin could be fUpped to-see,what type-of game would be played. Another interesting game should, ibe the one between the students and faculty on Campus day. ^Thegamevia an_ annual affair and from past experience affords a fittingclimax-to Campus day activities. * * . * .-r j, ... .

Vikings to Face CPS Loggers^ Icies Over Week-end After playing an easy.schedule in games forseveral times, Western?; swings into a busy week..This afternoon Western takes on the CPS Log?- gers at Battersby field. Tomorrow; the Vikings travel to Seattle to ;meet the University of Washington. NextMonday a practice game will be played With Larson Air Force base. With, the season record justmediocre at best, WWC will be out.to -r-â€”â€”â€” â€” â€”â€”â€”â€”{-take some games to better the searson record. College of Puget Sound; aoes not have a very strong, team, this-year, although it is not apush over. It has played some good ball this season. In the previous meeting with CPS Western tookone close one and dropped another. Western's Vikings should pick up another win tomorrow when theytake on the UW. The University is weak this year, being near the bottom of the standing in its league.It has been beaten several times by teams that Western has beaten. In previous meetings this year,Western has nearly an even record with the Huskies. These two straight games will put a strain on Vik pitchers. It is probable that all chuckers will get a chance. Big Bob Hansen is ready to go again afterthe sore arm he picked up in a game a couple of weeks ago. Next Monday the hot flyers from Larson Air Force base, Moses Lake, invade the Vik's domain for two games. The boys from Larson always putout a good ball team which can give any college team a fight; After Western gets by the busy weekendschedule, it will settle down to a slower pace for the rest of the season. Western Drops Track MeeF To Savages Western Washington dropped its first important track meet to the Eastern WashingtonSavages last Saturday. The meet was held at Cheney on the EWC campus. The Savages racked up84% points to Western's 46% points. Big gun in the attack of EWC was Ron Chadwick who won a totalof five events in the meet. These events were the high jump, broad jump, javelin throw and both thehurdles. Western was a little off and.the main point getters were meeting very stiff competition. The winfor Eastern was its 33rd successive dual meet win. Ken Swalwell, Modris Pederson, and miler JerrySwan picked up a lot of Western's 46% points.

'Straight Line: r HilsRuliinct Although football seems to be far away, on the. little campus,of WWC, many of theJarger-colleges are now concerned with-spring lootball practice. An. extra worry: to -the -coaches now '-. is .the new- substitution rule. This rule makesit quite impossible to use the two platoon system. Viking.,football coach/ Chuck Lappenbusch, was asked- tov comment on. the new rule: and- how it wouldaffect small. colleges,, mainly Western. First he stated.that the small colleges with no springpractices will be handicapped by this new rule, making it necessary for players to *playi both* offenseand defense* He went on gt; to ^ say that underthe modern educational pbil*-* osophy players will have to learn all the offensive parts. This may require longer training tables f or longer -periods -of time.However,- Lappenbusch went on to say,. â€¢ small .colleges using t he Straight- Line defense philosophy will not be .bothered, by the. knowK edge factor and the physical condition must be drilled onpreviously by the- player on his own. Since knowledge and intelligence does not play the sameimportant'part as it did formerly;-the Straight Line teams will be.ready in a week-providingthephysicaliÂ«ondition^ isex-. cellent. Physical condition is not and win not be excellent which will slowdown the game under the new rales; According to Lappy, physical endurance in U.S. society isretrogressing because of the automobiles, the preservatives in, onr foods, ,aadÂ«th,e psychology, ofthe "easy-way-to-win" attitude. "If we are to continue to be the strongest of nations we must-work onimproving the whole human being in our schools andaiot just knowledge, and. intelligence which are now retarded' by circular^ confusion,'' he said. So here we have the views of a very authoritative person,Western's own athletic director, on.the effects and: results of the. new substitution rule. Out of all this itseems that Western -will not^be?bothered lt; lt;as much as some other small schools who do-not usethe Straight Line philosophy. | This week a boy with a very interesting background- was interviewed as sports personality. Modris (Pete) Peterson, Western's star track man; graduated from a Latvian highschool in Europe.. There was no track, at his high school so he ran for the local YMCA team. Therewere a junior and senior team and Pete took' several awards in the junior division. In the junior division he holds the hop, skip, and jump record, high hurdles record, and the 12 pound shot put record. Forwinning the high hurdles he was given an award which he holds aa one of his most prized possessions.He holds three unofficial Latvian records, 220 low hurdles, 220 high hurdles, and the 440 hurdles. Lastfall in Seattle he won a â€¢ cup In -the big northwest meet held therewith so many incidents in his life, Modris had a tough time pieking lt;the: top thrill â€¢ of his- life.: He finally, picked the time when hewon the low^hurdles in the Evergreen conference in 1951. Another of his big lt;- gest thrills came lastweek as Western broke the relay record for the school and won t h e cup.^ Western track will verydecidedly miss good natured Pete when he is graduated. He has been a mainstay on Western's trackand field team for several years. He has won three letters and already has enough points for his big "W"blanket. During his years in track Modris has run the low hurdles; 440 hurdles, 100'yard dash; 220 yarddash, 440 yard dash; broad jump, "and thrown the discus and. shot gt;put. His versatility in sportsshows he is a natural athlete. In his years here he has lost the 440 only twice and the low hurdles nnlythree times. This trait seems to run in the family.

In Protest It was announced-; by school officials that eight members on: the; staff of EWC's physical education department say they will resign if the athletic director i sretained. The action taken, is against W. B. Reese. All those involved delivered their Qualified letter ofresignation ta the college board of directors meeting held Saturday. At the same time an 84-pagereport having to do with Reese's standing as a student in the graduate school at Eastern waspresented to the board. J. Harold Anderson, .chairman of the board, declined to say if there wasany relation between the two events. - Nearly all the physical education department signed the letter of qualified- resignation. The letter gave no reason-for the action. Included among the faculty membersinvolved was Eastern's head football- coach Abe Poffenroth.

Durkin, Secretary of Labor for the U. S., has reached Western outlining â€¢ ;varlous jobopportunities for graduating college students. Twelve fields were outlined which need new persons,and which would need college graduates during most of the 195CS. - Secretary Durkin said that there-is a significant shortage of engineers, while the number of engineering graduates has b e e n becomingsmaller. The natural sciences, chemistry, physics, and " the earth sciences, geology, geophysics,meteorology, oceanography, have also jumped sharply in demand for not only experienced people, but also college graduates with just a BA. In describing teaching, Durkin VISION COMFORT DR.INGWERSEN and DR. RITCHIE 207Jfr E. Holly / said that the "demand for elementary schoolteachers is greater for 1953-54 than for 1952-53," while "at the high school level the supply of newlytrained teachers has dropped significantly each year since 1950." The secretary said also that theaverage salary over the United States for all classroom teachers was $3,400. The other fields SecretaryDurkin described as having many openings were as follows: federal civil service, health' professions,business and law^ banking, accounting, and social work.

It was stated that the second chance came after the card.playing had been removed a few months ago when the gameswere being used for' other than recreational purposes. Editor and business manager for the WWCollegian in 1953-54 were elected at the Board meeting. Dave* Gay and Mildred Seelye, respective' ly, were those so designated. (See story page one.) Since no candidates were eligible in the strict sense of theStyle book, the Board moved to waive the requirements in this case so that the positions could be filledfor next year. The letter to the editor appearing in last week's Collegian about book conditions in theStudents' Coop was given heated consideration. A committee composed of Bob Porter, CarolynCrook, Dick Stewart, Howard Critchfield, and one other Student Facilities committee member wasappointed to form policies concerning the ordering and buying back of books. The Board passed amotion to the effect that all Co-op and Lounge personnel who handled food were to be required to take aphysical examination in accordance with the State Board of Health regulations. .The expense forstudents involved will be borne by the Student Lounge fund. A note from Louis Earle, Lounge and Co-opmanager, was read thanking the Board for the ceramic ash try sent to him while he was ill. A requestwas received through the Music department to loan the white dinner jackets for a wedding. The Boardstated that it was not its policy to loan student property for private use. An additional $10 was added tothe $45 appropriated to the Evergreen conference trip to cover expenses, to come from theAdministration budget. It was found that the original $45 did not cover the entire costs. Coach ChuckLappenbusch requested that the Board give him the okay to try to get Willamette UniversitySeptember 26, 1953, for a football game with Western here. He stated that arrangements with UBC andothers would have to be made, but the Board approved the basic plan. Since the regular Board meetingwas scheduled for the afternoon of Campus day, the Board moved to postpone the meeting untilThursday at 4 p. m. Board members were also urged to attend the Budget meeting last night.EarlCompletes Naval School George S. Earl, Seattle, graduated from U. S. Naval school (OCS)Newport, Rhode Island, April 20.

We lay in clouded mood And sang of lofty trees without tops That upheld the edges ofthe sky. As the ponderous notes clamored forth We thumped our feet, and "They remind me of goats,",he said. The notes came bleating forth together As they scattered dotting white over the hill. "Mightygoats they are, pushing stones With their heads, pushing stones and, "^ Rolling mountains to, theedges of the world." We lay in silence and listened to the peaks Crashing in dark stillness. FacultyKeeps Contact Of First-year Tutors An effort on the.part of the faculty of Western Washington College to keep effective contact with all first year teachers is proving successful. The program started with theestablishment of the General Certificate pian in 1951-52. The visitation program became fully establishedin 1952- 53 when essentially all graduates began their teaching with the Provisional General Certificate. 4Â»-â€”-â€”â€” The visits made to t h e graduates of Western Washington college during fall andspring of. 1953 by faculty members had the following purposes: (1) To make possible a first-handstudy of the effectiveness of the teacher education program as reflected in the work of WWC graduates.(2) To stimulate graduates to make a study of their work during this year with, an eye to improvement. (3) To assist the provisional cer-: tificate people in effective planning of their fifth year of college workwhich needs to fee started, as a basis for renewal "of:vtheir provisional certificate. . lt;4) To maintain acontinuing rapport with graduates and assure them of Western's interest in their success and thedesire to be helpful when needed. (5) To maintain a continuing contact" with public schooladministrators and teachers and to assure them of the institution's interest in the success of publiceducation in the state.of Washington. Forty-five faculty members visited a total of 16(5. beginningteachers. However, a total of 476 persons were seen on the twenty-four trips made to sixteen counties.First year teachers are working in school buildings that run the gamut of possible conditions, according to a report just issued. Some are teaching in practically ideal situations, some in buildings that aredescribed as ordinary and average, and some are in buildings considered to be fire traps, barren, smelly, dirty and crowded. More places have inadequate materials than adequate housing. Most availableinstructional supplies are those classified as audio-visual aids. Least available are art materials, textbooks, music, and maps. The enrollment per room ranges from 18 to 52. Some kindergarten teachershave three shifts and as many as 83 children. At least 25 of the WWC teachers have split rooms orcombination grades. The management of children, how to handle delinquent children, and how to keepchildren quiet, were frequently mentioned by beginning teachers from first grade through junior highschool and in both rural and city schools. The use of the Parent-Teacher conference as a means ofreporting to parents was mentioned most often, but requests for help on the whole matter of parent-teacher relationships were listed. Cooperative principals and teachers were named by teachers asthe SHIRTS IN AT 9 OUT AT 4 Complete Laundry and Cleaning Service 205 Prospect Street Phone 66 or 67 chief source of their in-service assistance.

Dan Evans will supporthigher tuition and increased financial aid for college students, he told student body presidents Friday.His proposed increase would raise Western's tuition rate to $188 a quarter. Evans also reaffirmed hissupport for" students on Boards of Trustees and WashPIRG, and discussed faculty salaries andcollective bargaining, according to Stephen Barrett, Western^ Associated Students president. TheGovernor had a "positive attitude" toward students, but noted severe state budget-making problemswould be the top priority of the legislative session that began Monday, said Kevin Ryan, chairman ofCentral Washington State College's Student Board of Control. Tuition will probably rise 32 per cent overthe 1971-72 rate, according to state analysts (see sidebar). About $16 million would be generated bythe proposed increased tuitions, Evans said at the three hour luncheon. About $3 million of this could be used to increase student financial aid. The rest would be needed to pay for salary, utility and postageincreases and other costs. Faculty salaries should be raised, Evans told the student presidents, butthe money may not be available for more than a five per cent increase. "The consequences of no wageincreases could disrupt campuses very much," Barrett noted. Faculty collective bargaining may be amajor issue this session, with hearings already being held. Evans said he does not personally supportfaculty collective bargaining, but it may be inevitable. Students should have the right to participate,Evans added, if collect-jive bargaining becomes a reality at their schools. Student Trustees are also fully supported by the governor, according to Barrett. Last session, Evans appointed a 28-year-oldWenatchee Valley College student to Central's Trustees. The State Senate refused to vote for oragainst confirmation, and the student is now speaking and voting actively on Central's governing body,Ryan said. Barrett said Evans "seemed appalled" when he learned that Western Trustees do not havean automatic , agenda item for student representatives, as Eastern and Central Trustees do. Toreaffirm his support of WashPIRG the Governor promised to write the Trustees at Western and theRegents at the two universities where it is being most actively considered. Barrett and other studentpresidents are currently organizing information and lobbying efforts for the session, expected to last30 to 60 days. Cooperative neighbors aid Lummi flood victims by GARY ABRAMAVITCH BERTRAM Itwas still pitch black in the cold, wet streets of Marietta Village when I was forced to leap from acomfortable dream to our front porch in time to stop our three dogs from tearing a leg off somescreaming, fist-pounding neighbor. "Hurry you guys," the voice warned. "The river's flooding, and yourtrailer's floating away. You've only got a few minutes to save what you can." "My God!" I thought. "I've gotphoto negs stashed in nearly every drawer in the house." After falling out of bed, I tried to rescue thenegatives before even remembering to call off the dogs, but my *ol lady got to the door in time. "Gadzukes, the water is already within a few feet of our porch. . ." . I'd been told that a super-high tide wasdue, but there was no way the Nooksack River was gonna rise enough to flood over that eight-foot dikeâ€” or so I thought until I sloshed my way across the street. The water must have already been comingover the main branch of the Nooksack. The Lummi families who live in the fishing village must have a footof water inside their homes by now. Since the water wasn't quite over our top doorstep yet, I wanted torescue what I could from our trailer. I knew it wasn't floating away, but it is in a bad place. My littlecockapoo who was dog-paddling behind me seemed to be enjoying the filthy new lake. I noticed thatmost of the neighbors had tied their smallest boat to the front porch, but all we'ye got is an old canvaskayak. Afterwards, I got my old kayak out of a nearby shack and tried paddling it home with my dogbalancing on the stern. Unfortunately it sank twice before getting there. I'd apparently forgotten tofiberglass a few punctures.^ ended up just stashing it inside my step van. O.K., so we'll swim out of hereif we have to. After we lifted the last of our house furniture onto blocks I grabbed a couple of cameras andwent wading up the street. Marilyn tried driving our car to the hill behind Marietta, next to the elementaryschool, so we'd have brakes when we headed to town. Water was crossing the intersection of MarineDrive and Rural Avenue, and was beginning to wash away the edge of the road. [Continued on pg. 2.]Collective bargaining urged by HARRY McFARLAND and SUKIDARD ARIAN The collective bargainingissue will have to be solved in this legislative session, or strikes may be the only alternative left for highereducation faculty. So says Maurice Foisy, a member of the Faculty Coalition, who reiterated thetestimony of others before the House Higher Education subcommittee Friday at Western. Foisyquoted polls showing overwhelming support of collective bargaining. Now, he said, all public employees,except college and university faculty are covered by collective bargaining legislation. Mark Wicholas,American Federation of Teachers local president, said faculty do not have contracts, and the conditionsof employment are in a handbook approved by the Board of Trustees. He also said there are notsatisfactory grievance procedures, that a sustained loss of teaching positions is caused by theconversion of the positions to administrative slots, and there is a lack of administrative accountability.Leslie Rowe, representing the Washington Education Association, said a good collective bargaining billshould have "clear, precise language," but that "the right to bargaining does not mean the differences can be solved." A former Council of Faculty Representative memberr, Marvin Olmstead, said the collectivebargaining bill introduced by Representative Richard King (Everett) would be acceptable, but that studentrepresentatives engaged in the process may be a hindrance. College President Paul J. Olscamp saidrecently at an Associated Students board meeting that he would rather not have collective bargaining, but if the faculty could not get what "They need and deserve," then he might support it. The subcommittee,chaired by Representative Art Moreau (D-Bellingham), also heard testi-money on the state Council onPostsecondary Education (CPE) Master Plan from Olscamp and CPE staff member Bill Chance. CPEhas drawn up a plan for the future of higher education in the state. After receiving input from across thestate, the council has reviewed the first 98 of the 201 proposals, striking, modifying and combining someof them, according to Chance. Olscamp expressed satisfaction with the actions of the council at thispoint, although the major portion of Western's objections to the plan have not yet been reviewed by thecouncil. ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, January 13,1976 Neighbors pitch in as flood hits hard [Continued from pg. 1.] A dump truck had just arrived and was about to empty a load of sand on the paved roadway where it couldmost conveniently be shoveled in the form of a pseudo-sandbag dam. Art Humphreys, a neighbor andlong-time veteran at trying to help save both his trailer and his village, began directing the half dozen other Lummi volunteers. A half hour later, a second load of sand was finally dumped, and everyone begantaking turns shoveling. The water was nearly a foot deep where it was crossing the road, but the dambegan slowing it considerably. Yet, we all knew the high tide would soon raise the river and it would enter Marietta from downriver where there is no dike. After shoveling for half an hour, I remembered about mystinkin' final exam at Western which had probably already begun. Double bummer! We simply had nochoice but to abandon our home and village before the flood reached its peak. The water out front of theTribal Center for the Marietta Band of the Nooksack Tribe was nearly waist deep as we headed for ourcar. My legs were mighty tired by the time we reached dry land. Governor recommends 32 per centincrease of tuition at all levels There is little chance college tuition rates will not be raised in theupcoming state supplemental budget. With the inflation plus primary education financing problems,lawmakers may reduce state appropriations to colleges and universities while asking students to paymore, Western President Paul Olscamp said recently. This trend is reflected in the tuitionrecommendations of the advisory Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) staff and the Governor'sexpected budget proposal. CPE's and Gov. Evans' recommendations are to raise tuition at the four statecolleges to $564 a year, at the 26 community colleges and technical institutes to $330 a year, and at thetwo universities to $684 a year. This is a 32 per cent tuition increase in tuition from the rate set fouryears ago, CPE Finance Coordinator Denis Curry said Friday. The amounts CPE and Evans willrecommend are designed to raise money while re-establishing the 1971-72 tuition ratios between thethree groups of higher learning institutions. Also, Curry said, graduate students now pay an extra $60 per quarter, and CPE will recommend this be increased to $81. Veterans, whose tuitions were frozen at the1971 level, may be required to pay 85 per cent of the new tuition amounts at state-supported collegesand universities, he added. Last session, the Governor recommended raising university and communitycollege tuitions, but not state college tuitions. .This plan â€” which did not pass the legislature â€”responded to state colleges' complaints that they were relatively overpriced, i.e., that community colleges were much less expensive while universities were not much more expensive, Curry said. But recentlystate college enrollments have risen, so the new recommendations provide tuition increases for everyone. SANDBAGS AGAINST THE WATER â€” Lummi volunteers battle the flooding Nooksack. Our dogs werecompletely sopped, and they stank horrendously while begging for us to let them in the car. We had nochoice, actually. On the way to Western, we heard the radio announcer say that much of Ferndale hadalready gone under. When we waded back through the cold water that night, we were mighty grateful tofind that the flood had stopped a couple of inches shy of entering our house. It wasn't until the secondnight of the flood that we learned where the evacuation center was. After the Scottish Lodge evacuationcenter had been evacuated, we had quite a few roommates at the Broadway Christian Church. We wereprovided with warm blankets, soft cots, plenty to eat and a dry place to study for our final exams. Ourdogs were probably as glad as anyone to finally return to our home, after camping for several days in theback of our car. An unexpected Christmas present by LOUIE PHILLIPS Christmas is a hassle. You goto school 90 miles from your family home. Finals Week is no time to shop, and you wouldn't want tocarry your packages home anyway. You see, I'm a member of that subculture which is foolish enough to travel by way of thumb â€” and unfortunately by way of foot alttbo often. My parents live in a Seattlesuburb at the north end of Lake Washington. There is transit service to Seattle, but it's only on the mainroad. Sometimes I take the bus, most often I hitchhike to the city limits. In all cases, I have to walk tothe main highway. Mid-December is always cold, but thank God it wasn't raining as I went out foranother day of Christmas shopping. At school, I'm always rushed. So, you see, I'm not inclined to walkrapidly when I'm not here. I saunter. Kind of shuffle my feet in a haphazard way. I jaywalk when I feelthere might be a better view from the other side of the street. My left foot trips over my right. My eyesstare at the last leaf twirling on an otherwise barren limb. I smile at kids pointing toy guns at me.Sometimes I feel they must think me very odd. "An adult without a car?" It's about a mile to the highway.I was walking in my laid-back manner â€” and then I saw a little white card. It was a BankAmericard.Blue and white but worth its weight in gold. I compared the signature on the card with nearby mailboxesbut none matched. There are no instructions on the card to tell the finder what to do with it. There is,however, an address and phone number for its owner to report it missing. I thought this odd. How couldone report the loss if they lost the number with the card? Add to this the absence in the phone book of a BankAmericard listing. For a moment I thought it might be nice to see the Swiss Alps in winter. I couldgo to the airport, catch the first plane to Geneva and they'd never catch me. Instead, I slipped the cardinto my wallet and continued on my adventure to the city's downtown department stores. It's not that I'mso honest. I'll lie whenever I can see an advantage in it. The next morning I called the number on theback of the card. I talked first to a secretary in BankAmericard's investigation office. From the tone of hervoice, I sensed she had far fewer finders of credit cards than she had losers. Then she gave me FrankJones, head of the office. We discussed where I found the card, how it had been stolen, if I had foundanything else and how to return it to his office. Then came the surprise. "Cut it in half, Lou, and send itto me in a letter with your name and address," Jones said, "and we'll send you a $25 reward." Trusteespass School of Education The School of Education became a reality last week, when the Board ofTrustees unanimously passed the proposal during their meeting in Fair-haven Auditorium. Inpresenting the proposal, College President Paul J. Olscamp said it had administrative approval withrecommendations that a roles and missions statement be developed. Acting Vice President forAcademic Affairs Loren Webb said the Associate Dean for Treacher Education Arnold Gallegos isdeveloping the statement with the education faculty. The statement will outline the ways the schoolwould interrelate with the various colleges at Western. The roles and missions statement will be given to Webb, who will present it to the Academic Coordinating Committee (ACC). :â€¢â€¢;; Gallegossaid the school was a "significant step forward" that "finally gives a total, overall concept for teachereducation at Western." The school will be implemented in February, when an acting dean for theschool will be appointed. ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, January 13,1976 Western Front 3 Shorts gt; Sidelights WashPIRG fate decided The fate ofWashPIRG will be decided today at the College Services Council meeting in Old Main 320 at 4 p.m. Themeeting is open; all are invited to attend.

Security men now commissioned officers byERDXMAGNUSON Next time you're caught siphoning gas by campus security, don't compare it tobeing caught by the night watchman of a candy company. All nine-full-time members of Western'ssecurity force are now commissioned officers. Seven were commissioned by President Paul J.Olscamp Dec. 11; the remaining two were commissioned Wednesday. "The main reason for this step isto protect officers from legal action when it is found necessary to detain a suspect," said R.G. Peterson, director of Campus Safety and Security. Previously, the only legal authority officers had to hold asuspect was in cases where there was reason to believe a felony had been committed. Every citizen hasthis same right, he said. Officers will not carry firearms, Peterson said, and the status of part-timemembers of the force will remain unchanged. State law requires that all peace officers are graduates of apolice academy. As commissioned officers, full-time officers are now on an equal footing with those ofother colleges and universities in the state. The change means that campus security can legally detainthose suspected of committing a misdemeanor, such as vandalism or petty theft, Peterson said.Previously, if someone apprehended by security officers decided to leave before Bellingham Policearrived, the only alternatives were to let him go or tail him until police caught up with him, he added.Campus residents will not be affected by the changes, Peterson said. "The vast majority of thosecommitting robberies on campus are not members of the college community and regard Western as anice ripe plum," he said. Now that Campus Security officers can make arrests, Peterson believes theywill be seen as a greater threat and act as a deterrant to crime. Board passes faculty allocationsProposed part-time winter quarter faculty allocations for seven academic areas was unanimouslyapproved at last Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting in Fairhaven Auditorium. Due to an increase infall student enrollment above that projected by the state, the Office of Program Planning and FiscalManagement (the governor's budget office) has authorized the expenditure of up to $35,000 toincrease faculty allocations for winter and spring quarters. After consultation with various facultycommittees and the administrative staff, College President Paul J. Olscamp and Acting Vice Presidentfor Academic Affairs Loren Webb recommended to the board that allocations be divided into part-timeassignments to meet demands caused by increases in student enrollment during winter quarter.According to Webb, Western's additional authorized allocations would cover only three full-timepositions. The areas receiving positions will be: English (composition); journalism; Fairhaven; speechpathology and audiology; technology (photography); home economics; art; business administrationand economics. The Allocations Advisory Committee will meet this quarter to examine allocations forspring. Why the hassle? BY LIZ RUST Western is funded according to enrollment projections made forthe upcoming quarter by the Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management. Formerly, whenenrollment exceeded state projections the school was allowed to apply the extra local revenue fromstudent fees to its instructional budget. However, a new funding contract with the State, limits the abilityto use any extra additional funds, according to a memo from College President Paul J. Olscamp andActing Vice President for Academic Affairs Loren Webb. The projection number is given a leeway of oneand one-nalt per cent. Under the new contract, if actual enrollment goes beyond or beneath that margin,the extra revenue from student fees goes back to the state's general fund. This situation aids the school if the final total is within the one and one-half per cent margins. However, if the figure is more than one and one-half per cent above the projection, as was the case in fall 1975, Western does not receive extrafunding beyond one-and-a-half per cent. According to Webb, the added student enrollment for fall wasseven per cent, while the added local funding was only the allowable one and one-half per cent. can 676-1304 for FREE DELIVERY min. order $ 3 . 0 0 â€” 2 mile radius from VENUS PIZZA Italian Dinners,Pizzas, Drinks delivered to your door! ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, January 13,1976 Opinion I need a few more bucks Henry Jackson "Hello,operator.

Smith chairperson, Group 47 making comeback by HARRY McFARLANDSenator Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) in an interview with his biographer Bill Prochnau recalled aparticularly gory bull fight in Juarez, Mexico. The Senator, sitting in the front row, became sick when thematador killed the bull. Later in the interview, when the subject was Vietnam, Jackson told of a visit to the front lines, where the arms and legs of men Uttered the area. He did not feel the revulsion of a bull dyingin an arena. Prochnau asked why and recalled, "After a long pause, Jackson replied. In a voice filled withcompassion and perhaps even tenderness, yet with the great weight of his responsibilities, he said,'Because killing the bull was not necessary.' " Surely, Jackson has realized the futility of Vietnam. Killing men in a war to settle political differences is as necessary as killing a bull for entertainment. Manyconsider Jackson the top Democratic presidential candidate. That's not impressive in a race for theDemocratic nomination comparable to the starting gate at Belmont. In a report by the Citizens Look atCongress, a Ralph Nader organization, Jackson was shown to be the liberal politician's nightmare,because he strongly supports the military-industrial complex and holds a hard-line defense posture.McGovern aide Frank Mankiewicz said a 1972 Jackson presidential nomination would have made a fourthparty inevitable. Considering what that election gave us, that seems to be a naive statement from theman who wrote "Perfectly Clear: Nixon from Whittier to Watergate." Jackson's regaining of nationalrecognition (he was John Kennedy's first choice for vice president in 1960) has been a long road. He wascloser to the presidency in 1960 than he is now. This comeback is typical of Jackson. He hasconsistently been a hard-worker, who has brought federal money home to his constituents as any goodSenator should. Conservationists have a friend in Jackson, who is the only elected official to win theSierra Club's John Muir Award for Conservation (1969J. He also has won the National WildlifeFederation's Legislator of the Year Award (1970) and the Bernard Baruch Conservation Award (1969). Hisonly non-conservation stand of major importance was his support of the Supersonic Transport. In theNader group's report, Jackson survived with a few minor scrapes and bruises, but without loss of limb orportions of the skin. That is amazing for a man whom someone asked about, "Can you see that man asPresident?" To which came the answer, "No." Mainly because men dying doesn't make him sick.

HenryJackson, D-Washâ€ž gave a "non-political speech" at the Bellingham Elks Club Dec. 27. The occasionwas a breakfast in honor of a new wing for St. Joseph's Hospital. Editor, Western Front: I am writing inresponse to the two letters pertaining to abortion in the Friday, Nov. 21 Front. My purpose in writing isnot to preach or to set up clear guidelines on the rights and wrongs in this issue. I recognize that on theabstract level â€” ethically and morally there may be black and white boundaries: in a general, idealsense, we can speak of abortion being absolutely right or wrong. However, on the human, individuallevel, the issue is uot so clear cut. Each person must finally decide for himself, and only God knows allthe tensions and considerations that enter into the decision. Therefore, it is not my place to passjudgment. However, I would like to present another viewpoint on this issue and facts and ideas which are most often ignored. It may be true that a woman has a right to do whatever she chooses with her ownbody. But to go so far as to say she has a right to infringe upon the rights of another individual â€” thehuman fetus â€” is an entirely different thing. Do we really doubt that the fetus is a human being? Twoyears ago when scientists- were able to fertilize a human egg and see it through the initial stages ofdevelopment, the papers headlined: "Human Life in a Test Tube!" Human life in a glass tube but acancerous growth in a woman's womb? Many of us are willing to allow that the fetus is human, but deny it is a person with human rights (as the January Article accurate; information given misleading Editor,Western Front: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Front and Bob Slone for the accuratearticle in the Nov. 21 issue entitled, "Social violations by students should be handled by the courts."This article described a basic underlying principle of the Student Rights and Responsibilities TaskForce proposal. That principle being that 18-year-olds are legally considered responsible for theiractions and should be entitled to all adult rights, including the right to due p ocess of law. I made onestatement that I feel needs to be corrected. Academic probation is determined solely by grade pointaverage and becomes part of the permanent academic record. Due to some misinformation, I statedthat in the past the college judicial system had used academic probation as a form of disciplinary action. This is not so. It is important for the student to know any disciplinary action taken by the collegenever becomes part of the permanent academic record. However, the college judicial system hasacted capriciously when imposing disciplinary action on students. For example, a student, onceaccused of a drug code violation, was arbitarily sentenced to keep their room clean for a given periodof time. What disciplinary action a college judicial body may take is not defined in current college policy and is left up to the discretion of the judicial body. As a result of this lack of guidelines, prudent judicialaction has not been forthcoming through existing judicial bodies. The educational value of such afutile process obviously lacks any substance. Bob Anderson Student Services RepresentativePatriotic commission reaffffiiir ms revolutionary origins, ideals Editor, Western Front: The People'sBicentennial Commission, having nearly 20 interested people, has been officially recognized by theAssociated Students as a campus organization, and plans to ^LBA| gt; investigate (sic) its officespace Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in Viking Union 224. The objectives of this organization are twofold.First, the commission aims to reacquaint people with America's revolutionary origins and thedemocratic principles espoused by our founders 200 years ago. And, in a modern context, it isprepared to inform people of the need to apply those principles to the economic institutions inAmerica today. The commission's function is to advance these two objectives by providing specificeducational materials and by suggesting social action programs that can be utilized by students,faculty, campus organizations and academic departments. Come and join the patriots in the Spirit of 76. Roger Hardesty Coordinator 1972 Superior Court decision reflected). How do we justify labeling human beings as non-persons in our own self-interest? The idea that we should allow abortion by l aw toprotect the woman who is pregnant because of rape is simply misguided. Very few women becomepregnant through rape. In the U.S. last year out of 23,000 reported rape victims, only 9 becamepregnant. If even those few chose ~to abort, I could not pass judgment. I do know one woman whobecame pregnant because of rape. Though unmarried she had the baby, and has no problems loving it. It is not the child's fault that he/she conceived. However, to say we need abortion on demand to protect these women is simply an excuse. Since when do our laws protect such small minorities? It is truethat pregnancy takes time out of one's life, and may interrupt a career. It's hot as though you had to beflat on your back for nine months, however. Are we that impatient, and that selfish in today's world thatwe can't wait 4 or so months? As a matter of fact, technically a woman can take only six weeks offfrom work to have a baby, and most employers cannot fire you or discriminate against you simplybecause you are pregnant. There is always a possibility of pregnancy when persons engage in sexualactivity. Perhaps we must learn to be more responsible and more willing to deal with theconsequences of our actions. It is true that many children who are born are unwanted and the parentunable to care for them adequately (whatever that means). Oh,, but there are so many people who would love to have these children; there are people even now who must wait three years to adopt a child. And though it may be true also that this is an ugly world, what right have we to be rid of him/her to protecthim/her from what we judge will be an awful life? Finally, in response to the person who said that menmust be careful about how much they say on this issue: it is true that a man will never have to makethis decision and must not force a woman to make a certain decision â€” because he has no idea whatit is really like to face pregnancy, a break in life, a great new responsibility, etc. ' . However, a man does have a right to defend another human individual to whom injustice is being done. To say he can't is likesaying a person cannot protest against war or hunger because he will never be a soldier or be starving.'There is a wider issue involved here than that of woman's rights â€” the issue of the rights of theunborn child. Also, the child is not only the woman's child, it is the father's also. He has a responsibilitytowards the child and towards the mother too. I realize that this is a broad and complicated issue. I feel that many abortion advocates have not clearly acknowledged many of the pro-life arguments. Thank you for the opportunity to share my views.

Strindberg's faltering light drama, viewed by areceptive, fair-sized audience in Old Main Theatre, was a graduate thesis production directed by StuartPaxton. The play's Eastery themes of suffering, patience and the perils of pride were intertwinedallegorically with the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. The story takes place three days beforeEaster, in a small town in southern Sweden. The stilted script correlates the guilt and struggles of theHeyst family with the doom and subsequent glory of Christ's account. Frequently quoting the Bible andold proverbs, the script often sounds like a rambling religious cliche, which is appropriate for its intent,but neither interesting or intense enough to be moving. Working with a script that seemed disjointed andhard to grasp, the characters did not appear sturdv or uniform. The performances of Ethel Raulston andDavid H. Locey lacked depth and consistency, but it is difficult to discern whether the deficiency was inthe script or their renditions. The sensitive, but almost too sugary sweet Elenora, was portrayed byMarilyn McLean, who gave one of the few consistent and fresh interpretations of the evening. The play did relate a strong sense of discomfort, anxiety and emptiness in which the characters were relentlesslycaught up. A struggling surge for release mounted throughout the performance but was only partiallyresolved by the climax, which left this writer touched, but not satisfied. Stuart Paxton's direction of thisdisjointed drama was a good effort, which could have been more effective had the characters been given a more secure vehicle to carry them.

Poems of peace, love and war were interspersed with his comments about hislife, writings and observations. Amichai was born in Germany in 1924 and resettled in Israel at the age of 21. He fought in the Jewish Brigade of the British army in World War II and in each of Israel's wars. Hisfeelings on war are reflected in his poetry as well as his religious background which he said has helped to shape his way of writing. "Poetry is about everything in your life," he said. "Writing poetry is the mostconservative and the most avant-garde thing together." A poem about a mother soothing her son to sleep he called a kind of "cradle song," describing it as being both wounding and healing at the same time."Every poem is a kind of cradle song," he said. "Poets must stick to reality." Amichai read a poem ofpeace first in English and then Hebrew, Of love poems he said, "A happy love poem is boring. All you can say is I love you, I love you, I love you, over again." A few lines from one selection read, "I am a manalone. I am not a democracy." He kept the audience laughing with comments like "sometimes I hateliving in a town (Jerusalem) where every stone is holy" and "Hebrew is a poor language for cursing. Youhave to use Russian or Arabic." Amichai was one of five guests of honor in Vienna this fall at the annualmeeting of P.E.N., an international literary society. He has written four volumes of poetry, two novels, abook of plays and a book of short stories.

Presented by Associated Students Program CommissionCommunity Arts Resource Center o bright spot for Northwest artists byRICKDONKER The coordinationof local art, artists and art resources is the goal of Bellingham's Community Arts Resource Center. Thecenter is an incorporated non-profit organization with a three fold purpose: to provide income to seniorcitizens who teach folk art classes; to provide information on art seminars, art scholarships and otherartists in the area; to provide workshops and classes in all aspects of art. One feature of the center is an archive devoted to local artists that features information and samples of their work. "We are trying toorganize and coordinate local artists so we can share and compare information and interests," saidConnie Bonifas," one of the resident artists working at the art center. The center will be offering classesin folk art and fine art classes that will include such areas as woodcarving, spinning, basketweaving, doll-making and leather work. The center is also offering in-depth workshops on the business aspects of art.Resume writing portfolio presentation and bookkeeping are some of the topics that will be covered in theclass. The classes will also feature guest speakers with specializations in the specific workshop areas."We would like to present enough information and ideas to the artists so they can become self-sufficient.Too many good artists develop their talent in a specific area, like Bellingham, and then feel they have togo to the big city to make their work pay," said Bonifas. Other features of the resource center includebrochures and pamphlets on a number of art related subjects, sources for finding art materials, grantand scholarship information, as well as books and reference materials. "We want to provide one placewhere the artist can go to get all the information on any art related subject," Bonifas said, "as well asprovide an educational institution for people who would like to learn and get involved in art." So far thecenter has had enthusiastic support from the business and art community and they are hoping to buildand expand if possible.

Coming from Yakima, I have met few Hare Krishnas, liberal extremists or gay people. The situation at Western is quite different. One night while talking to Bill, a friend of mine, the conversation drifted to the gay world. Bill surprised mewhen he suddenly remarked, "You see . . . I'm gay." I wasn't repulsed, only a little shocked and veryfascinated. Here was an opportunity to discover what makes a gay person tick. We agreed to meet a few nights later to discuss his perceptions on gay life. Bill is tall, slender and soft-spoken, with a crop ofrich brown hair and rather penetrating brown eyes. He implied throughout our chat that gay relationshipsand straight relationships are alike Having sex with another man, Bill said, is like a heterosexualencounter. "To me it's fulfilling and pleasurable, and that basically is what sex is about, isn't it?" Heemphasized, though, that he doesn't care for a purely physical relationship. "Obviously, I'm drawnphysically to a man," he said, but he added that he looks for an emotional experience. However, Bill does have physical preferences "I prefer masculine men to feminine men . . . but sometimes I'll be attracted to a man just for his personality." Bill said he first became aware of his desires for men in the ninth grade.A little reservedly, he recalled that he was arrested that year when police discovered he had been mailing suggestive notes to a man. "What it boils down to is that I was arrested for soliciting," he explained. As a result, Bill's parents discovered his situation. They since have been concerned, he said, because "mythree other brothers are all Music prof to perform Composer-pianist Edwin La- Bounty of music facultywill present the first concert of the quarter 8:15 p.m. Thursday in die Concert Hall. He will lead threeother musicians in a presentation of "Music from His Circle," a group of compositions by La- Bounty,some of his friends and Western students. 'normal'." he added very wryly that one of his brothers is"almost an alcoholic." After Bill became aware of his sexuality he voraciously read everything he couldfind on homosexuality. "I was confused and really upset to read about how awful I was supposed to be."Since Bill doesn't seem to fit any social stereotypes of a "fag," he really hasn't been teased about beingfeminine except by some "little macho brats pestering me because I would rather play with girls." Billwas especially indignant about contact sports. "I don't understand them," he said, "they make no senseto me." His pastimes, however, do not show femininity. Non-contact sports, movies and symphonies are his favorite hobbies, indicating normal tastes. Bill said he has told few people of his sexuality, In fact, hehas always been nervous about "opening up." He admires students in Western's Gay People's Alliancebecause they are open. He said wistfully, "I wish I could be like that." Bill looked back to his first gayencounter during the summer of 1973. "I first went to a theater that showed 'all male films for the matureadult,' then I went to a gay street dance and hit the bars with a gay friend." Most of Bill's bar-life centersin the Seattle area. He mentioned Shelley's Leg, the Golden Horseshoe and the Trojan Shield as amonghis favorites. "I enjoy the Trojan Shield the most," he said. "They let lots of people in and the dance flooris always packed." But gay bars aren't all a bed of roses. "I find gay bars very cliquish, and I really feelsorry for someone who is just coming out, because until you are accepted it can be lonely," Bill said.Bill is critical of people who come to the bars just for a "pickup." Lots of people do, he said, but once aperson is accepted "the people are friendly and become great friends." Bars are not the only place to "get a little action," though. Bill frowned on the method used in restrooms. He explained that a gay guy in astall will move his foot toward the edge of the next stall. If the guy in that stall is interested, he'll move his foot over so that it touches the other guy's foot. At that time "they make arrangements" or perform oralsex in one of the stalls. Very little, if any, emotion is involved, Bill said. He considers restrooms "a tackyresort." When I asked Bill about the language gay people use, he looked at me wonderingly. "I've neverheard any real language that can be called exclusively gay language," he said. "Maybe in less liberaltimes it was necessary, but now I think it's ridiculous." He said terms like "drag queen" aren'tnecessarily gay words. "Drag Queen is just the best term for a man dressed as a woman." Toward theend, our conversation got a little more serious. I wanted Bill's reaction to accusations that gay peopleare mentally ill, bad influences and "reprobates." He seemed to weigh his answer behind a doubtfulbrow. "I often wonder if they (the accusations) aren't true," Bui responded. "When a gay person is notallowed to express himself, he may have emotional problems. A lot of gay people are disturbed; beinghappy is just a front they put on," he continued. Bill said he feels much more at home with gay people."Going to gay bars I can be with people who feel pretty much as I do. A lot of gay friends are true friendsin time of need." Yet, Bill saw little distinction between gays and straights. Even though he claimed hewould never want to be heterosexual, he probably best summed his feelings when he told me, "I knowgay people that are positively repulsive, but I also know some straight people that are equally repulsive."htbbyhive arts, crafts and models downtown Bellingham 111 E.

The new brand of activism is a blend of "cultural revolution," a women'sstudy group, and a campaign for a public interest research group. Unlike the late 1960s and early 1970s, when anti-war protesters frequently congregated in Red Square, 1976's gatherings there are religious innature. At 8:45 a.m., twice-weekly during fall quarter and occasionally this quarter, Bill Waring strumsan acoustic guitar as approximately 60 people gather around him to sing hymns in the square. "I couldn't say whether we're activists," Waring said one day last quarter after such a gathering dispersed. "Thereason we come out here is to sing praise to our Lord and have time together with our brothers andsisters." In 1971, the year the morning gatherings first began, Waring says, "my roommate tells me itwas a pretty turbulent time" at Western. On Nov. 1 that year, according to the Nov. 2, 1971 Front, anestimated 750 students gathered in Red Square to protest the then-pending five megaton nuclearunderground explosion on Amchitka Island, off Alaska's coast. Exactly 18 months earlier, the Frontreported that on May 5, 1970 an estimated 2,000 students gathered in Red Square to protest the killingsof four students at Kent State and the Cambodian invasion. What's happened to student activism thataccompanied the "turbulent" late 1960s and early 1970s? Views held by a dozen students, surveyed, by the Front recently showed that three students equated the word "activism" wfth violence. Four studentsin the survey said, student activism may no longer be necessary because college officials have becomemore sensitive to student needs as manifested by an improved college curriculum. These views areunderscored by the fact that there are only two campus-based political organizations at Western â€” theAsian Political Union and the Bellingham Young Democrats, according to records at the A.S. ActivitiesOffice. There are those, however, that say activism isn't dead, but instead manifested in different socialand political forms. "The Cultural Revolution" One of these is a Fairhaven student who prefers thepseudoname Jim.

Jim says the demonstrations,while showing the ability of people to organize as a collective unit, "were more of an exercise thananything else." They fell short, he said, because, despite demonstrations, the underground nuclear testand the war proceeded. Today, Jim says he "and I suspect others" are now "more involved in a solidrevolution than back then â€” a cultural revolution involved with the spiritual aspects of human beingsrather than structural organizations. "I'm not so involved (today) in politics," Jim said. "In fact, I'd ratherrun or fortify my situation than be involved in any type political movement." Women's Study GroupAmong the approximate five campus women organizations dealing with academic and social subjects isa weekly woman's study group that began at Fairhaven last fall. The study group's coordinator, seniorDebby Gay, said the initial idea of the study group was "to get women together to discuss the differentfeminist groups within the movement" from the 1860s to the 1970s. Gay said the 11 to 17 member groupbegan its contemporary study with Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique, which Gay said helped spawn the National Organization of Women (NOW). NOW, according to Gay, is a "very liberalmovement" concerned with changing laws and making women equal." It was NOW's liberalism, Gay said, which gave birth to the radical feminist movement between 1965 and 1970. Radical feminists placedmore emphasis than NOW "on sexism, personal life, and sexual roles," Gay said. "For this group ofwomen (radical feminists), the enemy became 'men' as a caste." "It's important," said Gay, "to look atthe differences (between feminists), to see where we're the same so we can support each other'sbattles." Wash-PIRG Organizer Junior Steve McCallister says he's been politically active ever sincehe.was a teenager. In 1971, however, McCallister said he dropped out of activist circles "becauseactivists had violence directed toward them, not by them." "The first idea of activism is getting thingsdone," said McCallister, today one of 30 campus organizers of Students for WashPIRG. "When this ismet with violence, you don't get things accomplished." WashPIRG, in McCallister's view, "is aconstructive form of activism that can provide a means to channel frustration into meaningful change." . -â€¢ Â« * ,.- For the past nine weeks, McAllister and his WashPIRG colleagues have been attempting toget the necessary 60 per cent study body approval for a two-dollar per quarter tuition increase to fund aWash-PIRG chapter here. While confident the required total can be reached (currently in excess of 4,000 have agreed to the increase), McCallister said the campaign "promises to be a long process." Heexplained that final approval of the Wash-PIRG proposed funding mechanism has to be approved byWestern's Board of Trustees. In 1972, the trustees, whose membership then, except for one person, was the same as today's, rejected a similar Wash-PIRG funding scheme because "the proposed fundingmechanism far outweighs any educational benefits to be derived from the proposal," according to theminutes of the board's June 1, 1972 meeting. Local group proposes directory for county lawyers by BOB SLONE A long-standing code of ethics which prevents lawyers from advertising their services isbeing questioned and may be changed, according to Jerry Richard, Fairhaven instructor. Richard headsa group concerned with developing a lawyers directory for Whatcom County. The group has run into a snag in the ethics code which is being upheld at this time by the Washington State BarAssociation. According to Richard, the American Bar Association will be reviewing this and otherproblems this spring. Until such time as the code is changed, the directory will remain on the drawingboards, Richard said. Several local lawyers have voiced support for the change, should it go into effect."It would be advantageous for the public to be aware of who an attorney is," said Timothy W. Carpenter,a Bell-ingham lawyer. Local attorney Dennis Hind-man said the directory would be "a public service" aslong as it was "done in good taste." Hindman said there was a chance this advertising could get out ofhand, with some of the larger firms developing a "possible monopoly" in that area. "People should beaware that there is a lawyer referral service in Des Moines," said attorney Robert E. Beaty. "But therewould be an overriding benefit in a directory of this type." Students could observe wage talks; unionleaders against proposal bySUKIDARDARIAN and HARRY McFARLAND Students will be givenobservers rights in collective bargaining sessions of some faculty leaders, if the King bill is passedthis legislative session. An amendment to the labor relations bill which calls for collective bargaining foreducational employes (including faculty) also calls for a team of no more than three students to bepresent at collective bargaining sessions.

"Studentsrepresentatives may well smudge the issue," said Marvin Olmstead, a former Council of FacultyRepresentatives member. "Having students as part of the bargaining process would not be good," he testified at the House Higher Education subcommittee hearing Friday at Western. Mark Wicholas,president of the local American Federation of Teachers, said he would "rather not have students asobservers." Leslie Rowe, representing the Washington Education Association, said having studentsinvolved in bargainingn would make the process more difficult. At a recent Associated StudentsBoard meeting, College President Paul J. Olscamp said student representation in collective bargaining would "depend on the issue," whether the students were involved with the topic under discussion.NOW OPEN MORCA ACADEMY OF CREATIVE ARTS Home of Spanish Dance Theatre Flamencoin Conceret Members of National Endowment for the Arts Complete professional Training in DanceClass Ballet Character Movement Conditioning Folk Variation Point Adult Beginners throughProfessional Children's Classes MORCA ACADEMY OF CREATIVE ARTS For Details Call 676-1864Write 1349 Franklin St. Bellingham, Wn. 98225 Advertise in the classifieds Blind student needsresponsible person to drive her to and from B B stable every Tuesday.

The Vikettes played Edmonds Community College here last night. Haerling graduated from Western last fall inphysical education and played varsity football here for four years. FOOTBALL â€” Center Andy Harlin and defensive lineman Dann Debellis earned honorable mention honors in the Little College All-American pollfor their performances last fall. Harlin, a junior, was also named to the all-district first team while DeBellis, a senior, was on the second team. Harlin picked up additional honors last month when he and junior end Chuck Houser were selected to the Little College All-Northwest second team.

At notime were the Viks in any danger of losing the lead as they methodically widened the gap. The Wolveswere never able to recover from Western's first half surge finding themselves behind 46-25 at the half."They outfought and out-hustled us, particularly in the first half," Wolves Coach Bob McCullough, said ofWestern. "We did hustle the second half, but Western was a little rougher than us." What's comingup Today Women's basketball with AAU club team.

Vik coach Jack Ecklund attributed much of the Vikings'success to outstanding defense the first half, and a patient offense with controlled fast breaks. Although the game did not seem to be the most exciting to watch, it certainly did not lack in performances.Guard Dave Wood broke the single game assists records with 15 for the Viks. Rob Visser, Vik center,had 13 rebounds and 20 points. Vik guard Brad Fuhrer continued to be leading scorer for Western,pumping in 28 points. Freshman guard Craig Erick-sen contributed 10 points for Western. Ericksen tookover starting duties from senior Scott Curran. "We finally got everything together," Ericksen said of their win. "Defense is what did it. OCE is a good ball club." Ecklund, who played everyone on the bench,said they all played well and was particularly pleased with Ericksen's defense and forward GregSmith's rebounding and defensive efforts. Smith had six rebounds and 12 points. "Wood penetratedvery well and when there is a shooter like Fuhrer, he's bound to give you trouble," McCullough said. "We were simply outplayed." Saturday night's victory gave Western a 6-6 record and follows a two gamewinning streak from Vik contests over the holidays. Western participated in two tournaments during thevacation, winning three and losing four. At the Balladtown Classic, the Viks placed third, winning one game in four attempts. The single victory was over Western Baptist College, 78-67, with Smith's fineefforts of 28 points and 18 rebounds. Visser contributed 24 points and ten rebounds, while Wood tied the school record with 12 assists. The Vikings' losses were to Whitworth College, 70-58, Gon-zaga, 85-69, and George Fox, 72-60. Visser grabbed 18 rebounds and blocked five shots in the George Fox defeat. Western then followed up with a fourth place finish at the John Lewis Holiday Classic, with a 2-1record. The wins were over Warner Pacific College, 82-70, and St. Martins College, 74-53. DespiteFuhrer's 27 points against Lewis and Clark College, Western was dropped 76-72. Fuhrer was namedto the All-Tournament team at the latter tourney, scoring 73 points in the three games.

The Vikettes ripped Oregon, 76-30, and only those earnest basketball diehards who enjoywatching constant turnovers and fast breaks paid attention. The victory gave Western a perfect 4-0 league record and 5-2 overall. First-year Oregon Coach Mary Covington, seemed a little lackadaisical as shewatched her team warm up. Four of her starters were out with injuries and she had already seen theBeavers beaten by scores of 97-17 and 56-16 this season. Oregon constantly tried to penetrateWestern's defense, but wound up committing a total of 54 turnovers which saw the "running blue" grab the ball and fast break down the court for more baskets. Western coach Lynda Goodrich praised theteam's traditional one-on-one defense, but gave special credit to forward Diane Bjerke for creating manyof Oregon's turnovers. Joni Slagle, the VIkettes'big gun, again led the squad in scoring and rebounding.The 5-10 center scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to boost her scoring average to 22.8 pointsper game. It was obvious the Vikettes played up to Slagle's quick firing and scoring accuracy. Theyrepeatedly fed her the ball on inbounds passes, under the basket and outside the key, and she showedshe had the touch. Third-year varsity guards Dee Dee Molner and Charmon Odle contributed to the rompas they popped in 12 and 14 points respectively. Odle led in assists with nine. Western was gt; notentirely healthy either. Starting forward Bethany Ryals sprained an ankle in practice last week and guardShelly Kulstad has been sidelined due to illness since last month. Both are expected to resume practice this week. The Vikettes played a five game slate during the Christmas vacation. Western crushed itsfirst two league opponents, Seattle Pacific College (SPC), 85-55, and Washington State University 89-55. Slagle was high pointer in both games, scoring 20 and 29 respectively. Western won only one of thethree practice games in a six team post-Christmas Invitational Tournament at SPC. They were topped by Lumberman's-Bellevue AAU, 80-58, and Victoria, British Columbia Club, 84-59. The lone tournamentvictory was over Dr. Bernard's-Port-land AAU, 80-58. Three Western varsity alumni from the past twoyears played on two of these AAU teams. They were former outside sharpshooting guard and last year'sjunior varsity coach Wendy Hawley (Dr. Bernard's) and forwards Claudia Haaker and Sue Stange(Lumberman's). Slagle garnered a high of 44 points and 36 rebounds for the three games, while Molnercontributed 22 assists. r Commentary Peg Bolek, coach, dies Assistant women's basketball coachMargaret (Peg) Bolek, 24, died of a heart attack Dec. 10 at her home in Bellingham. Peg, a physicaleducation major at Western, was buried in her home state of New Jersey. While at Western, Peggy wasvery active in the sports program and respected as a friend, player and coach. Peg may have seemedshy to her many acquaintances, but her close friends were drawn to her infectious smile and thesomewhat mysterious way her warmth and sensitivity grasped them. She needed only six more creditsto complete her coaching minor, but she had already gained experience in the field. She was assistantvolleyball coach at Sehome High School last fall, women's, junior varsity basketball coach this year, andshe taught tennis and coached Softball in Bellingham's Park and Recreation Program last summer. Pegalso played varsity volleyball and basketball for two years at Western, but most of her friendsconsidered tennis to be her best game. Peg will be missed, but those who knew and loved her canhonestly say their lives were enriched by her friendship. A Peg Bolek Memorial Scholarship Fund is nowbeing set up for needy women in the physical education department. Details will be printed later.

It used to read "We'll pay you $288 a month to learn a skill," but a groupcalling themselves the Bellingham Chapter of the Citizens Committee for Honesty in Billboards decidedthat was false advertising, and so sometime late Sunday night it was changed. The Front was informedof the planned sabotage when a person sounding very much like Donald Duck called the office Sundayevening, and asked to speak to the editor. He identified himself as a member of the Bellingham Chapterof the Citizens Committee for Honesty in Billboards, and stated that "a billboard on State Street is guiltyof false advertising, and is being rearranged to make it more honest." He asked the Front to drive downState Street early Monday morning, and to look for the altered board. A reporter and photographer wereon the scene .early yesterday, and discovered that the Army adjust off the corner of Laurel and State had been changed by blacking out the unwanted letters with some type of paint. The Bellingham ArmyRecruiting Office hadn't heard of the Committee's work when the Front inquired, but said that the "work of vandalism" would be removed as soon as possible. The alteration of the billboard may have beenprompted by a rash of attacks Photo by JAY ECKERT on Army billboard advertising which has beenoccuring recently across the nation, and has been reported in several newspapers including Bellingham's Northwest Passage. According to the Passage article, the Citizen's Committee claims chapters in 28states, all actively altering billboards to represent what they see as the truth. According to the Passage,the Committee notes that "modified billboards are being repaired," but says they'll correct this situationas fast as possible. ---------- Western Front - 1972 July 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2. Western Front Tuesday, July 18, 1972 Front editorials... What's George gonna do in Round Two?What's George got up his sleeve for Round Two? Round One was, in the end, no contest. With a superborganization lobbying for him at every democratic caucus and primary, McGovern entered the DemocraticConvention the odds-on favorite to win. And justly so, for he knocked all other contestants out of the ringin one ballot. George had correctly sensed the political mood of the people in the primaries and theconvention, and emerged as the darling of the Democratic party. George, really had his shit together inRound One. But Round Two is going to be a bit more of a challenge for the man from South Dakota.McGovern is entering the political ring against an old pro with a one win, one loss record j n pastpresidential races. George therefore has a distinct disadvantage from the beginning: his lack of experience in political infighting. George is going to have to learn a wide assortment of jabs and barbs in a very shorttime if he's going to stay in the ring with the champ. George is going to have to learn to duck and jab from the center, because this old pro is reputed to throw a mean right hook at anything coming at him from the left. George is gonna have to jab viciously at the weak links in Big Dick's armor, trying all the while tokeep the champ back on his heels. Rhetoric is really vicious at times like this, if applied properly. Wordslike Economy, Corporate Power, Taxes, Democracy, and Vietnam could bring Dick to his knees if applied in liberal doses. But first and foremost, George is going to have to maintain the charismatic personalityexuding confidence and honesty which he currently enjoys. The champ can only appeal to his past record of deception and lies, George can point to a prosperous and peaceful future. Keep your guard up,George, and smash him one for me. LYTM WATTS McGovern.. some fresh air or lots of stale cigarsmoke? After the "safe and sane" opening speech delivered by Democratic Party Chairman â€¢ LarryO'Brien, the acceptance speech by George McGovern was like a firecracker going off in our hands.O'Brien had said this was the year to stop the rhetoric, be open and honest with the American public, totry and restore America's faith in the political system by not promising things that can't be delivered.McGovern's speech was in direct opposition to the party's chairman. He promised things that will bedifficult, if not impossible, to deliver. McGovern proposed a grandiose scheme for bringing the soldiershome from Vietnam after stopping the bombing on Inauguration day. George may have something to sayabout when the bombing stops and when our soldiers return, but how can he promise that the POW's willcome home at the same time? He promised jobs where none exist today. Will he have to fall back on the old Democratic solution of artificially stimulating the economy to fulfill that promise? He promised welfare reform. How can he keep that promise, when it's been made before and couldn't be kept? His was aspeech liberally sprinkled with "I w i l l " and " I shall." These are words that imply promise. Nothingdefeats credibility faster than empty promises. If McGovern is to maintain the support of his backers andgive the voter a real alternative, he is going to have to do more than emulate the old style politics. STEVE NEFF |50VggSUaERj L"â€” IN CONGRESS THIS MORNING, THE PRESIDENT ASKED FOR FORMALDECLARATIONS OF WAR AGAINST BRAZIL, PERU.AND CHILI - A S ^AMERICA'S LATIN AMERICANWAR MOVES INTO Â©SToawittBtfSS wineosMnwD mjBB Supertankers Oil and Puget's perils byDAVE SHANNON The tanker had the best in navigational aids and steering; she also carried 118,000tons of crude oil. She went aground in broad daylight with good visibility on a well-charter shoal. She isbetter known as the Torrey Canyon and her tragic spill on the English coast in 1967 put the oil industryinto the spotlight of public opinion. What has happened in the five years which have passed since theTorrey Canyon disaster? Have clean-up procedures improved? What about navigational aids and strengthof hull construction, have they improved? These and many other questions are troubling the people of the Puget Sound region. There are now four refineries within the confines of the sound. Texaco and Shell are at Anacortes, and Mobil and ARCO are located near Cherry Point. Also, Standard Oil owns land nearCherry Point, and will probably build a refinery there someday. To determine the probability of a spill inthe sound, we must examine the tankers that will transport crude oil. ARCO's tankers which will makethe Valdez-Puget Sound run, will weigh 120,000 tons and carry 940,000 barrels of crude oil from theNorth Slope. They will have single bottoms, not double bottoms, and will have single-screw drive. Single-screw, or single-propeller drive gives a ship less maneuvering ability than a double-screw drive. This is animportant consideration since the tankers must pass through Rosario Strait to reach Cherry Point. Thisstrait narrows to a width of one and a half miles at one point, and is never more than six miles wide at any location. Add to this the fact that the ARCO tanker has a minimum stopping distance from cruise speedof about one mile. This distance is achieved by "slaloming" the ship from side to side in order to increase the drag. Due to the narrow characteristic of Rosario Strait, this "slaloming" may not be possible and thedistance needed to stop would then be increased. Tidal currents and weather also affect stoppingdistance. Maneuvering speed of the 120,000 ton tankers would be about 5 knots, and thus the stoppingdistance from this speed would be less than that from cruise speed. However a ship which has beensuccessfully stopped is then quite vulnerable to tidal currents, which can exceed 2 knots in RosarioStrait. The list of tanker shortcomings and possible dangers of oil transport goes on and on. By now youcan tell that the problem is one of immense magnitude which will not "go away." It might appear thatsmaller tankers are a lesser danger, since they are more maneuverable and carry less oil. Not so, saysKerryn King, a vice-president of Texaco. . He claims that a few very large tankers would be safer thanmany smaller tankers. The more tankers required to transport a given amount of oil,- the greater thechance of .a.spill, according to King, - His point is well-taken,. however the facts still remain thatsupertankers are single-hulled, difficult to maneuver, and carry about thirteen times as much oil as the T-2 tanker in common use today. In fact, if only one oil storage tank in the ARCO supertanker were to spill',approximately three million gallons would be released; this is one-half of the total carrying capacity of a T-2 tanker and ten times the amount spilled in the spring of 1971 at the Texaco refinery in Anacortes. 1suppose the decision to use supertankers has been made by a cost-benefit analysis, but how did anyoneput a price tag on the precious biological bank of the Puget Sound? The sound is essentially a closedsystem, unlike the ocean, and if a major spill were to occur, oil could remain within the sound for years,hampering biological activity and recreational usage. The stakes are high in this game and the oilindustry needs to be strictly controlled by responsible government agencies on both sides of the border ifthe Puget Sound is going to survive the effects of man's addiction to oil products. Finally, after severallocal oil spills we are starting to see government action; but we should continue to see more action. Themeeting of Washington state Governor Dan Evans and British Columbia Premier W. A. C.

Hitchies are criss-crossing thecountry, and enjoying the scenery from Illinois to San Francisco. What is a hitchie? It's a woodenreplica of a hitchhiker created by John Ramm, a ' Western art major. When hitchhiking was legalized inWashington on May 23, Ramm started 12 hitchies on trips to various destinations in the United Statesand Canada. The hitchies have a pocket full of postcards on their backs, and people who give them rides are asked to send Ramm a card informing him of his offsprings' progress. Ramm said presently he has heard from eight of his hitchies. Naomi Grunt got to San Francisco a week after she left Washington.Senworthy is resting in Evanston, Illinois after - a long ride across the nation. Drew spend a week at anauto body shop in McCleary, Washington learning the trade. , Ernie is on the Trans-Canada Highway.He crossed the border at Sumas and evidently had quite a bit of trouble proving his citizenship. Rammsaid the card he received states that Ernie had - "quite a hassle" crossing the border. Ramm said he isvery much against the new referendum to once again make hitchhiking . illegal. He said he is thinking .about making a "whole bunch" of hitchies as caricatures of political figures like President Nixon andChicago's Mayor Richard Daley. Letters to the editor Prof. Hicks gives reply Editor, The WesternFront: The story by your reporter Lysa Wegman in your issue of July 11 on the Faculty Geyser isnothing if not sophomoric. She may be Miss (or is it Ms?) Worldly Wise-woman of the Campus, but sheshows precious l i t t l e understanding of the complex workings of the government of the college. As amatter of fact, the Faculty Council's request of June 5 that the Board of Trustees call for the resignationof President Floraâ€”an action taken only 11 days after the council's decision to poll the f a c u l t yâ€”was indecently precipitate and represented the b a n k r u p t c y of educational statesmanshipamong the small majority of the council that voted "yes." The decision to poll was itself of dubiouswisdom. The circulation of petitions among the faculty might well have prompted the council to set upmachinery for negotiation between the president and the faculty. The results of the poll a l l the more c le a r ly demonstrated the need for such machinery. Instead, the council with amazing shortsightednessvoted in the final week of the academic year to vacate the office of the president. One may well wonder ifthe council had any awareness that Western has a future, not to speak of a past. C o n f l i c t betweenthe president and the faculty is no new development at Western. I have myself lived through two periods of such conflict. In each of these the faculty through its leaders initiated negotiations with the president,and the two parties managed to establish a modus vivendi that did not disrupt the administration of the in s t i t u t i o n and in itself represented something like a meeting of minds and a resolution ofgrievances. The more recent of these conflict situations occurred during the first year of James L.Jarrett's presidency in the winter and spring of the academic year 1959-60. Only two of the members ofthe Faculty Council of June 5 were on the campus at that time. This fact may explain in part the woefullack of f o r e s i g h t and especially hindsight in their action. The Faculty Council should have Group to seek info on Council request The circumstances leading to the Faculty Council's request for theresignation of College President Charles J. Flora will be investigated by an ad-hoc committee of the All-College Senate. The Board asked the Senate, the principal campus legislative body, composed offaculty, students and staff, to investigate the facts leading to the Faculty Council request. The Senatedecided during its meeting on July 10. to form a nine-man committee of five faculty members, including a professor emeritus, two students and one member each from the staff and administration. The methodof choosing the . members of the committee was not decided. It was agreed by the Senate that thetime for researching the report will extend past the date of the Board's meeting in August. Theformulation of the committee was to be concluded at the special Senate meeting on July 17. Photo byRON GRAHAM known that in 1959-60 the new president showed a perverse ingenuity in alienating hisfaculty and by the middle of the year had created a crisis in faculty morale. Something had to be done.Expressions of hostility by the circulation of petitions were not thought of, though hostility to thepresident was rampant. There was no suggestion of polling the faculty or requesting t h e Board ofTrustees t o fire the p r e s i d e n t. Instead, the existing machinery of negotiation between thepresident and the faculty was brought into action. A special meeting of the AAUP chapter was held onFebruary 8, 1960 at which a fourteen point statement of grievances was presented and debated and acommittee appointed to discuss the morale question with the president. On March 2 the presidentappeared before a meeting of the chapter and entered into fruitful dialogue with a large and representative group of the faculty. On May 24 the Faculty Forum passed a resolution to take up questions of tenureand promotion with the president. On June 6 a newly elected Faculty Council met, organized, andreadied itself for negotiation with the president. By Commencement Day the air had already begun toclear and the machinery for continuing negotiation with the president had been set up. By the opening of Fall quarter 1960 the president and the. faculty were able to take up the work of the new academic year in a cooperative spirit, and this hard won relationship of h a r m o n y and mutual understandingprevailed until the e n d of Dr. J a r r e t t 's administration four years later. Notable in all this strugglewas the resolution of both president and faculty to resolve it without recourse to the Board of Trustees,which in my opinion should be appealed to only as a last resort. The Faculty Council of June 5 grosslyerred in going to the board as a first resort. Arthur C. Hicks Emeritus Professor of English THREEDOORS SOUTH OF SHAKEY'S ON ~- N. STATE ST.

For the rest of us there are several ways to enjoy the islands. You cantake a tour from the air, spend a leisurely afternoon island-hopping on the ferry, or if you're lucky travelon your own boat. Regardless of how you travel, take a camera and plenty of film. You may be luckyenough to spot a pod of killer whales diving in the waves. That brown "log" that keeps bobbing under the water close to shore can easily turn out to be a sea lion fishing. The changing combinations of islands,water and sky create scenes that challenge anything Hollywood has to offer. And you haven't seen asunset until you see the San Juans s i l h o u e t t e d against the red-orange sky. Fish, clams,oysters, crabs and shrimp are plentiful and fun to catch. The salmon fishing is world-famous. If you catch anything unfamiliar, it is usually a good idea to check it out with one of the local fishermen before youeat it. Since there are 172 islands in the San Juans, it would take a long time to do everything and seeeverything they have to offer. However, there are a few places you don't want to miss when you start out. San Juan Island is the home of the famous "Pig War," where in 1858, the shooting of a pig owned bythe Hudson's Bay Company by an American settler almost started a war between the United States and Britain. The old English and American campsites have been made into a National Historical Park. Thisyear is the hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the dispute. The islanders are celebrating it with a "Pig War" Centennial, which lasts until September, with events every weekend. One of the highlightswill be the Rendezvous, which will be held July 29, at Friday Harbor. While . you're in Friday DeceptionPass-Spanning Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands. Just over the bridge is the entrance to the state park.Harbor, a nice side trip is a visit to the University of Washington Institute of Oceanography. Theirlaboratories are maintained for teaching and research in marine biology and related fields. It is knowninternationally for its scientific program. Scientists and students from all over the world gather here.During the summer session, it is open to the public from 2 to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.Across the channel from Friday Harbor is Orcas Island, the largest of the San Juans. Mo ran State Park, with an area of more than 4,000 acres is located here. You can drive t o i h e summit of Mt.Constitution, the highest point in the San Juans for an unparalleled view of the Â»San Juans, theCanadian Gulf Islands and the Cascade Mountains on the mainland. Cascade Lake, which is in thepark, offers some of the best trout fishing in the state. Picnic areas, campsites and trails are abundant.If you travel to the islands by ferry, you will stop at both San Juan and Orcas Islands, plus Shaw andLopez Islands. The ferry leaves from .Anacortes on Fidalgo Island. To get to Anacortes, take the Mt.Vernon exit on Interstate 5 and then take State Highway 536 to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal.

The play will run through Saturday, July 22. "The basicmotivation of the play is youthful," said director Dennis Catrell in reference to the strains of playful love and energy of "Much Ado." The story unwinds through a series of false accusations, suspicions, andrevelations towards the climax. "Much Ado About Nothing" is a well-told love story, and telling the storyis Catrell's primary concern.

Computer Center Director Robert Holz; Assistant Director for Administration Dave Schlecht, Programmer Jack Veenstra,and Systems Analyst Doug Winterburn have all indicated they will be vacating Dave Schlecht, assistantdirector of the computer center. Jack Veenstra, programmer at the computer center. Mr. Toad strikesagain "The Art and Artistry of Toad and Company," is the title of the second discussion of the book of the quarter, "The Wind in the Willows," by Kenneth Grahame, at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the library presentationroom. Panel members include Lois Meyers, children's librarian for the Bellingham Public Library; HowardHarris of the anthropology department, Gene Vike of the art department and William Scott, documentslibrarian and moderator of the discussion. their Computer Center positions before next January. Holz who has been the Center's director since 1967, is resigning effective Nov. 1. "I'm just tired of the job," saysHolz, who has been struggling for several years to raise the salaries of the Computer Center staff. Hesays "it's time for me to step down and give someone else a chance" to tackle the salary crisis. Holzcites lack of support for higher education in the state government at Olympia^ as a s p e c i f i c reasonfor the inadequate salaries in the C o m p u t e r Center and throughout Western, but also s a y s hebelieves some administrators in the college hierarchy may hold some responsibility. He says thatwages outside the college in the computer p r o g r a m m i n g field have skyrocketed in recent years,and "we haven't been able to keep pace." This he says, coupled with a dim financial future for Western,could be the cause for the announced resignations in the Computer Center, and also for otherresignations which he expects will soon be announced. .Holz will continue to work part' time at Westernafter his resignation becomes final, probably working on Can-Am I, a proposed computer system linking Northwest Washington and some British Columbia colleges. Schlecht, who has been at Western since 1963, states that part of his reason tor leaving is because Holz is. "I've planned to resign for some time, but Bob's (Holz' ) resignation caused me to act," Schlect said. He said he'd only planned to stay atWestern for about 10 years when he first came. "I've been here nine years already " he said. Schlechtalso says a major reason for his decision to resign is inadequate salaries. "It's been a sore point for acouple of years. . . . It's been a year and a half since we've had a substantial raise." A l t h o u g hactually an a d m i n i s t r a t o r , Schlecht is currently being paid a civil service wage, and is beingpaid l e s s money a c t i n g as administrator than several of the people working under him. "Anytimeadministrators make less than the people they administer, something's really wrong," he says. "I thinkthis money problem is the college's fault. . . . there seems to be money around for new programs, butnot for raising salaries." Schlecht plans to go into the real estate business, mainly because "I've wanted to have my own business for a long time." Jack Veenstra says he's leaving Western for several r e a so n s . No room for advancement in the Computer Center as it now exists, the resignation of Holz andlack of a substantial salary have all convinced him to find another job. Veenstra also says there is nolonger any room for innovative work in the Center, because the 360 computer is being used to itsmaximum level, and there is no chance of the Center obtaining a new machine in the immediate future.He will be leaving for Boulder, Colorado to work on what he calls a "statistical package" for NEODATA,and will be getting "about a 20 per cent raise" in wages in the process. Systems Analyst DougWinterburn has also announced his resignation, but is currently on vacation and unavailable forcomment. Robert Holz, director of the computer center.

However,the move is not scheduled soon, according to Dr. Kenneth Jernberg, director of health services. Though"active negotiations" are under way, the clinic in Edens Hall will be. open as usual this fall. The Edenshall facility has been found to be architecturally unsuitable for use as a clinic because of its lowearthquake resistance, inadequate running water and ventilation, reasons related to the fact it was never meant to be used for medical purposes. Dr. Jernberg called the facility inadequate to handle thepresent number of patients, as well as unsuitable for practicing the best possible health care. But withinthe $106,000 a year budget of the health center, few alternatives are available. Rental of space at St.Luke's, where x-ray and lab facilities already exist, is favored by Dr. Jernberg. Duplication of these andother facilities on campus would be avoided and personnel would be available more hours. He said theprospective college clinic at St. Luke's would still be free to students and separate from the publichospital organization. Concerning student access to the new location he noted the movement of themajority of s t u d e n t s off campus concentrating just north of the college. St. Luke's would be closerto many of these people than the present location. In addition, a shuttle bus is in the planning stagebetween the campus and downtown. If it materializes, access would be i m p r o v e d for on-campusstudents. Western's health services are funded at approximately half: the per-student levels of Centraland Eastern Washington state colleges, and even a smaller beHingham business machines 1410Commercial 734-313?

Atpresent, after your wait you can get "treatment of acute problems, preventative health measures andhealth education," if you are a student who pays full tuition at Western.

If you are one of these people then Corbin Ball will make your dreamcome true. Plus, he'll pay you for it. B a l l is co n d u c t i ng psychological experiments on the effectsof alcohol on learning. The experiments are looking for physiological correlates on how learning isaffected by alcohol. The experiment takes two-and-one-half hours for two consecutive days. Thevolunteer spends the first hour drinking an alcoholic beverage and an hour and a half taking tests. Thesubject is kept naive about what or how much he is drinking for the sake of the experiment. While thesubject is drinking electrodes which lead to a polygraph machine are attached to certain parts of thesubject's body: the scalp, the forehead, ear, thumb and fingertips. The polygraph takes several p h y s io l o g i c a l graphs simultaneously. It measures brain waves, heart rate, heart rate variability, palmsweating, respiration and the amount of blood in the fingers. All these responses are measured forphysiological changes. The e x p e r i m e n t s are supported by a grant from the National Institute onAlcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and are under medical supervision. Directing the experiments is itsoriginator, Dr. Lowell Crow, of the psychology department. Ball was asked by Crow to be his researchassistant because of his interest in the polygraph. Subjects are paid $6 to participate in the experiment. Screening requirements include that the subject is 21, and that he has had experience with alcohol. I.D. is required. Great care is taken with the subject. He may stop drinking any time he wishes. "Ourprimary concern is for the subject's welfare; the experiment is secondary to that," Ball said. Subjects are always driven home and are required to stay at home for at least four hours, or until the effect wears off. A n y o n e interested in participating can contact Ball through the psychology office or at his office, 400 Miller Hall for more information. â€¢ I V l l i m i l W l l l l l l l l HORSESHOE CAFE DowntownBellingham WE NEVER CLOSE ! 3 B 3 ossaaa f FRUSTRATED?

T h e U n i t e d States government is beingasked for $7.5 million to set up the p r o g r a m , called Project Cam-Am-I. Western hopes to attainoperational costs for the first five years through the U.S. Office of Education, or a separate appropriation. Advocates of Can-Am-I say that the participating schools will be able to take over operative costs in the sixth year the program is functioning. The computer network and radio station would enable schools toshare computer-a s s i s t e d instruction and educational broadcasts. The helicopter shuttle servicewould allow freer movement of professors, guest speakers and learning materials. Over 64,000 studentswould benefit from the program, hopefully scheduled to begin this fall. Herbert Taylor, dean of facultyresearch, said that September would be the earliest date funding could be obtained. Taylor said hehopes the shuttle service can begin this fall on a trial basis with borrowed i helicopters. Experimentalcourses can be operating one year after funding is obtained, Taylor said. Conceivably, the project couldbe running at top efficiency by September,-1974. T h e t e c h n i q u e of computerized teaching is more effective in teaching subjects t h a t r e q u i r e much memorization, Taylor said. "For example, astudent can learn to speak a foreign language m o r e q u i c k l y using computer-assisted instruction.We make no pretence that this by itself can become higher education, but we do say it can handle thematerial that depends on drill and rote learning," Taylor added. The FM radio station, to be located inBellingham, will be able to broadcast over a radius of 65 miles, Taylor said. Transmission towers couldbe built on one of the San Juan Islands. Included in the plan with Western are the University of BritishColumbia, Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria, Vancouver City College, Capilano College, Douglas College, Camosun College in Victoria, Malaspina College in Nanaimo, and Washingtoncommunity colleges in Ferndale, Mount Vernon, Port Angeles, Everett and Edmonds. Taylor said thatputting the project into operation would be a major step toward cutting waste of money and space."Ultimately, what we're really concerned with is that t h e r e are universities and colleges so close toeach other who communicate very little, if at all," Taylor said. Mental Health resources availableâ€¢P9*PPP9*a ETT EDMONDS The ages 18 to 21 may be the most confusing period of a collegestudent's life; a time when many students feel they need the help of one of the campus referral services. The problem of mental health and the college student was investigated last quarter by Margo VanWinkle, a Huxley College environmental health graduate. For a project in health education sheinterviewed Mary Robinson, the associate dean of s t u d e n t s ; the Rev. Paul Mangnano at theCampus Christian Ministry house; and Saundra Taylor, director of the counseling center. Thediscussions went on the premise that everyone is susceptible to ups and downs-in t h e i r mental state. The counselors all agreed that these types of mental anxieties were ' normal and natural occurrencesof any human being. Basically, the ministers at CCM point out to the student that they cannot solve hisproblems for him. A student has t o do it himself, Father Mangnano said. Saundra Taylor refers to theages of 18 to 21 as a transitional period. "Students start settling down in their sophomore and junioryears and start asking themselves about their future." It is a common complaint these days to find outthat friends who recently graduated with bachelor or master's degrees are now working at low payingjobs, with a high school education as the maximum requirement. Although the discussion with MaryRobinson was confidential, she also agreed with the counselors that too much emphasis is put on beinghappy, content and very sure of a position in society. This tends to depress a person who is questioning himself because he may think there is something wrong with him. A person is not going to be happyuntil he recognizes that it is necessary to reach out in order to achieve a good mental attitude. A personmust become involved insomething other than himself, he said. Of the cases seen by the counselingcenter last year, the majority were emotional problems followed by vocational and educational problems. The counseling center provides a resource for students who want to examine more thoroughly "who they are and where they are going, Taylor said. "It's important that college students realize everyone feelsdown at times. People have to stop thinking these problems are their exclusively. Everyone goes through it," Van Winkle said.

Skating at Western angers faculty, police By Kathryn Ellis THE WESTERN FRONT Western students see their campus as a mass of buildings and walkways, but to skateboarders of Bellingham the campus is an untapped frontier. Western's campus provides a location full of what skateboarders call "street skating". Street skating involves rails, walls, steps and anything else the skaters find challenging. "The campus is one of the best places to skateboard," said Zac Zamundio a Bellingham skater. "There are rails there people still haven't done." It is not easy to skateboard at Western. Two groups of people are vehemently opposed to this activity taking place on campus. Jim Vyvyan, a faculty member, in Western's chemistry department, is just one of the many professors that feels skateboarding doesn't have a place at Western. â€¢â€¢"I am really dismayed to see all the damage the skateboarders have done to the campus," said Vyvyan. "All the islands in Haskell plaza have scrapes and gouges," said Vyvyan referring to the area in front of the Biology and Chemistry buildings.

Goff is familiar with the feeling of alienation, however, when it comes to being outnumbered by Democrats. - .

Western students and faculty will have the opportunity to donate blood from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday though Thursday in the Fairhaven Lounge and at the Blood Center's mini-mobile on the east side of Carver Gym. "The mini-mobile was added because the Fairhaven Lounge is a little more out of the way for most students," said Catharine Vader, blood drive program coordinator for the Prevention and Wellness Center.

Maybe it's more than a tire problem From the beginning of the tire recall, Firestone has been blamed for accidents that killed 101 Americans. A Washington Post analysis of national and Florida crash statistics shows the Ford Explorer has a higher rate of tire-related accidents than other sport-utility vehicles â€” even when the popular SUV is equipped with Goodyear tires. The finding suggests that something about the Explorer may contribute to these accidents.

By Greg Woehler THE WESTERN FRONT On Aug. 14, Marguerite "Zite" Hutton, chair of Western's accounting department, was one of two professors nationwide awarded the American Taxation Association/Arthur Andersen Teaching Innovation Award. She received $2,500 for the award, which was presented in Philadelphia at the annual luncheon for the American Accounting Association, the parent group of the ATA. She was recognized for her imaginative methods in teaching Accounting 471, Tax Research and Planning. "It's really a fun class," Hutton. On a teacher evaluation for the class, a student once wrote, 'I've never worked so hard for a class and had so much fun." "That's my all-time favorite evaluation," Hutton said, smiling. She said she attempts to create a "real world environment" for students by having them work in groups on simulated tax cases created by Pricewater- houseCoopers, an international accounting firm. Hutton said each group works on the same case. Hutton chooses the groups of students based on their answers to a 'background questionnaire. She asks questions about the courses each student has already taken and their work experiences. These questions help Hutton make sure each group has members with a variety of experiences and interests. Though each group works on the same case, Hutton said she never receives "carbon copy answers." "They are each trying to find the best solution to the particular problems, but arrive at answers in radically different Angela D. Smith/vThe Western Front ways," she said. Collaboration is important in the class, not only among the four individuals in each group, but also among different groups. Hutton said she doesn't grade on a curve, which takes away the potential competition among groups. Before the groups turn in their project to Hutton, students must submit their work for peer reviews. Other class members critique the work, but only if they can offer solutions to the problems they find. Both parts of the review process are done anonymously, meaning only the individual's work is being criticized, not the individual. Professors around the country are using Hutton's technique, including one colleague at Old Dominion University. Hutton has been an associate professor at Western since 1989. She said the ATA notified her in May that she had won the award but it wasn't announced to other members of the association until the luncheon. / Opening Night 1ST NIGHT Saturday, October 14th â€¢ 7:00 pm How Near the End Are We?

The yearly educational program is designed to inform participants about the signs and symptoms of depression and to help them decide if they would benefit from a more complete mental evaluation. The two-hour screening sessions began with a short lecture about symptoms and treatments of depression. After a question-and-answer period, individuals were given the opportunity to discuss the results of a self- evaluation with a mental health professional and receive referral information for further evaluation if needed. "We put signs around the community in hopes that anybody who thinks they have depressive symptoms, or has a friend who might have depressive symptoms, would come on in," Sharon Chandler, a nurse on the mental health unit at St. Joseph, said. "Depression is a very common illness," said Dr. Hank Levine, a psychiatrist from Bellevue who spoke at one of the two screenings. "Clinical depression affects 17 million people in this country each year," Levine said. "Only about half of those people seek treatment. The rest suffer in silence." "Unfortunately, the screening doesn't come at a good time for Western students because it's right when school is starting back up," Chandler said. "We've been talking about holding a screening on campus, possibly this month," she said. Chandler said she was surprised at the low turnout this year.. In past years, up to 40 people showed up for the screening sessions. This year, only about 20 people showed up for screening. "I was hoping to see more students from the university," sai Jessica Richter, a mental health specialist at St. Joseph's and Western graduate. "Depression is so prevalent," Chandler said. "But people are busy, and there's a lot of denial where people just think, 'This is the way I am, this is the way life is. I'm not depressed, I'll snap out of it."' Treatment options, such as antidepressants and psychotherapy, offer hope for those suffering from depression, Levine said. ATUS fixes computer problem, helps students Western Republicans set to act From GOP, Page 1 "I come from a house full of democrats," Goff said. "There are only two Republicans in my family. I don't know how that happened." Goff said his organization's main concern right now is the election. The club plans to set up information tables and put up stickers and posters around campus treasurer A.J. Strauss said. "After the elections are over, we'll figure out what to do next," Goff said. Two guests at the group's Wednesday meeting, Eugene Goldsmith and his wife Yvonne spoke about their involvement in the election. Eugene Goldsmith, former State Representative for the 42nd District, said education is a priority on this year's agenda. "This college, for the money, is the biggest bang you're going to get for your buck," Eugene Goldsmith said. Whatcom Community College student Mary Eckhoff asked Eugene Goldsmith what he thought about free college for students. Eugene Goldsmith said he did not favor the idea. "If it's free, how much emphasis would we put on it?" he said. Yvonne Goldsmith, former mayor of Ferndale, voiced her disapproval of the presidential debate and of the adversary, Al Gore. She recounted her frustration while listening to the debate on the radio. "I'm sitting in the car listening to the debate and I turn to Gene and say T'm glad you turned that off because I'm about to rip it out,'" she said. "If we do not win this election, as far as I'm concerned, it's gonna be hell for the next 40 years," Yvonne said. "College Students: earn $30- $40/hrpart time!

From ATUS, Page 1 appear to have been resolved, ATUS Director Dr. Larry Gilbert said. The login delays ranged from five seconds to 10 minutes, he said. Despite the massive delays and locked programs, the ATUS Help Desk has seen its smoothest quarter in manager Mike Massey's five years in the office, he said. "Lines are shorter and moving faster than ever," Massey said. He said the reason is higher efficiency at the help desk, rather than fewer calls for assistance. Last year the help desk recorded 3,500 contacts in September and 4,700 in October. Though all the numbers haven't been pulled together yet, the desk is looking at the same number of calls' or more in both months this year, Massey said. The source of this quarter's problem was the Novell Applications Launcher program. For an unknown reason, it conflicted with other programs, Gilbert said. Once the Novell Applications Launcher was isolated as the source of the problem, ATUS relocated it on the server, apparently resolving the conflict, he said. The aplication launcher provides students access to resources all across campus, Gilbert said. ATUS isolated the program as the source of difficulties by removing it from the system and checking to see if the delays and other problems subsided. Though everything has been running smoothly since Wednesday's modifications, ATUS continues to monitor the situation. ATUS is runs management software that regularly reports network status . in order to assure the problem does not persist and no new ones arise, Gilbert said.

In 1997, Western police instituted a number of regulations regarding skateboards on campus. A person found violating these rules can receive tickets. Tickets cost $10 for a first offense, $25 for the second offense and $50 for a third. "These regulations are really for â€ž everyone's safety," University Police Chief Jim Shaw said.

Western consortium looks at apparel labor standards By Hollie Joy Brown THE WESTERN FRONT Western may join the Workers Rights Consortium, a group created in 1999 out of a student anti-sweatshop movement to monitor working conditions in factories producing apparel products Linda Beckman, division director of budget and administration, said.. Last spring, Western's Task Force on Workers Rights was looking into changing Western's membership from the Fair Labor Association to the WRC, Beckman said. Beckman will be forming a study group this fall to discuss it again, she said. Western could join the WRC, Beckman said, but it is an institutional decision. "The FLA has the same goals of the WRC." she said. The differences between the FLA and the WRC are the type of members each holds and how monitoring is done, Beckman said. The FLA allows corporations to be members whereas the WRC tries to exclude them, Beckman said. Monitoring and inspections could be done differently, she said. Originally, the students of the task force wanted to join WRC because they didn't want to be a member of an organization that had corporations as members, Beckman said. After comparing the two organizations, the task force decided the FLA would be more effective, Beckman said.

"The goal of AUAP is to broaden an international perspective of Asia University students," said Bill Pech, Director of Asia University -America Program Center for International Studies and Programs. "Western also benefits greatly from this program because it has enabled us to internationalize the student population," Pech said. "AUAP students have been significant presents from Japan." AUAP students usually live with American roommates in on-campus housing. Japanese students have had little experience with roommates in Japan, but AUAP student Maki Sakamoto said she gets along with her American roommate very well. AUAP students receive help from a group of Western students called Peer Advisors. "I like this job because I get paid making friends," said Lend Neumainer, AUAP Peer Advisor. Neumainer said she spends 19 hours per week with her nine AUAP students. Yuko Naito and Taro Teshigawara enjoy lunch at the Viking Commons. The Asia University America Program students said they have started to grow tired of American cuisine. She said the goal for students is to make American friends, to learn about American life and to have a good experience. Neumainer meets every Monday with her students. They play some games to get to know each other and speak English. Neumainer said she plans to take her students to Seattle and Canada. She also said she hopes to help them take part in some American activities, such as shooting firearms and snow sports. "I think this program is very good," AUAP student Hitomi Nishiyama said. "Sometimes it is too good. We might be spoiled because we can rely on our advi-sor. Nishiyama said she should do more things by herself to learn English. She said she applied to this program not only to have an experience, but also to improve her English. Pech said Nishiyama's anxiety is common, but the program tries to minimize it. "The program offers students a lot of support, but the program also challenges students to try things by themselves." Pech said. "Students' attitudes are totally changed in the end of program," said Heather Johnson, who works in student services. Daniel J. Peters/ The Western Front "They become independent and their fear is definitely redueed." Pech said the program also tries to create more opportunities for AUAP students to interact with Americans. "Our goal is to make the curriculum here, to give students opportunities students can't have in Japan," Pech said. "We hope the curriculum creates many opportunities as possible for interaction." Western students requested to donate blood, help relieve crisis From BLOOD, Page 1 out to hospitals as it "is ordered. "In the Puget Sound, there is a need for 800 pints of blood a day," Dentel said. Western typically receives around 400 pints of blood during the three-day blood drive. The goal for this blood drive is 370 pints, according to Dentel. The goal is based on last year's spring blood drive, when the Blood Center received 311 pints of blood. Donors are asked to arrive in early in the day to avoid the afternoon rush. The blood draw lasts seven minutes, but donors must also go though a health screening. The process takes about one hour. "If they want to ,have a good experience, the most important thing is that they don't', drink caffeinated beverages," Dentel said. "The rcaffeine will constrict their blood vessels ... also they need to eat something." According to the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates blood banks, donors also must be at least 18 years old, healthy and weigh at least 110 pounds. "Seventy percent of people will need blood or a blood product sometime in their lifetime," Vader said. Currently the Puget Sound Blood Center is running near emergency levels on two blood types, and needs all other types as well. "We should donate all year long, not just during the holiday season," Vader said: Western's Prevention and Wellness Center reports that each pint of blood donated can save the lives of three people. "Each pint is broken into three components of plasma, platelets and red blood cells," Vader said. "Patients only receive the blood component they require for treatments such as cancer therapy, surgery or trauma injuries." . - . Vader said she feels that if a person wants to give back to the community, donating blood is a wonderful way to do it.

He endured the usual ups and downs of child rearing and the hardship of raising girls in what he considers today's media-driven misogynistic culture. But Kelly did not sit at home crossing his fingers, hoping the messages encouraging girls to strive for superhuman ideals somehow would pass his daughters by. Instead, his objective is to ensure those messages are condemned. Kelly is the executive director of Dads and Daughters, a national non profit advocacy group dedicated to strengthening the bonds between dads and their daughters and dispelling the myths of the female ideal they say millions of women believe and die from everyday. The recent death of Kelly's Dads and Daughters co-worker Heather Henderson, at the age of 27 brought to light the reality of how deadly these concerns are. Henderson battled bulimia for 11 years before suffering a fatal heart attack due to complications from her disease. "I'm sad, but I'm also very angry," Kelly said. "Her life and her death are an incredible indictment of what our culture does to girls." Individuals must confront the media and take responsibility for the lies shaping girls, Kelly said. "The culprit is this culture," he said. "When I indict the culture, I indict myself. Silence is not an option." Kelly used several teen magazine advertisements to illustrate his point. An ad for a padded bra, depicting a tanned woman with bulging breasts, read "Inner beauty only goes so far." The image served as the anti-slogan of his speech. "I show this ad is because it's emblematic," Kelly said. It kind of crystallizes all the messages that rain down hundreds of. times a day." Girls are not the only ones being deceived, Kelly said, adding boys also are misled by the rail- thin, poreless images of women they are bombarded with daily. He told the story of a boy who, when breaking up with his girlfriend, gave the reason that she was only a seven or an eight and his dating standard was a 10. "He may spend the rest of his life seeking something that is impossible to find," Kelly said, "and he's denying himself his true purpose in life, which is to connect spiritually to another human being." Men's magazines increasingly follow the lead of women's, to the detriment of young boys, Kelly said. Men's Health, which he added has little to do with health and reads more like a male version of Seventeen, creates unattainable physical standards for young men. "How we look is overwhelmingly determined by our genetics. There is no ideal weight. That's baloney." Kelly said. Kelly said men who care about women are important because fathers "set the norm." He said he feels it is particularly important to daughters because they look to see if Dad reinforces the statement "inner beauty only goes so far." Candy Wiggum, a psychologist at Western's Counseling Center, has studied the impact fathers have on the emotional well-being of their daughters. "I think dads play a really important part in their daughters' development, as far as feeling respected and respectable, " she said. Sheila Havens accompanied her father, Steve, to the workshop at the Brigid Collins House. 'T thought it was really good to hear, and exciting to hear a father talk about things I've only heard women talk about," Havens said. Kelly will speak at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11 at St. Luke's Community Health Center. Pre-registration for this free workshop is required, so call (360) 738-6701 to attend, or for more information call the counseling center at (360) 650-3164.

Another reads, "we want a skatable park." The Bellingham Skate Park opened about three weeks ago, giving skaters a long awaited place to skateboard and rollerblade. Many, however, are unsatisfied with the park's features. Jason Snow, co- owner of Alliance Skateboard Snowboard Shop, said he is displeased with the park's design. Snow said he feels the design is not up to par, because he believes it isn't modern enough. "A lot of the park is not skatable," Snow said. "The walls are too steep to do anything on. It's just wasted space." Snow said the majority of the complaints he has heard about the park come from the youth who use it. 'It's like needing a pair of pants, and your mom goes and buys you some from Kmart, and then makes you wear them," Snow said. "The whole point is that the kids should get what they really want." Park visitor Greg Keefe, 18, said he likes the park, but the transitions between elements in the design need to be smoother. 'It's like needing a pair of pants, and yow worn^oe a^bAty ypu some from 'Kmartt'tin ihert'fndkes you wear them.' Jason Show Co-owner of Alliance'' Keefe said he also thinks a partial roof should cover some of the park when it rains. Snow said he also was disappointed there wasn't much room for suggestion. "By the time they had the community meetings, everything was already done and I couldn't attempt to input anything," Snow said. Jonathan Schilk, Bellingham Parks and Recreation's landscape architect, said that when Parks and Recreation held meetings at the park site, skaters in the community requested the removal of some of the park's features, and Parks and Recreation obliged. "There were supposed to be a volcano, loveseat, stairway and inclined rail, which Takuya Waters/The Western Front Jason Bas rocks to fakie on the spinewall. were all taken out at the request of the skaters," Schilk said. Schilk said he thinks Parks and Recreation did the best they could considering the rules and guidelines they had to stay within. State law required Parks and Recreation to accept the lowest bid from a contractor willing to build the park. The lowest offer came from Colacurcio Brothers Construction Company, Inc., of Blaine. The park, was designed by Pukiss-Rose, R.S.I. of Pullerton, CaL, who hired a professional skater on staff to assist with the designing process. Schilk said the park's construction budget was $270,000; $18,000 coming from donations and the rest from taxes. Since so much funding came from taxpayer pockets, Schilk said the city had an obligation to.keep costs down/This, he said,_ is why not all of the suggested changes to the park's design were made. "When you make a set of plans and then change it, you're hit with additional costs by the contractors," Schilk said. "We were caught in a difficult spot." Both Schilk and Marvin Harris, Bellingham Parks and Recreation's interim- park director, said they think the park is a success. â€¢ "It's impossible to please everyone," Schilk added. "We were able to please most people, and if we do "that,then:.'we're successful." . *;..'â€¢' .'" "V'..-'":â€¢ ,-v';' /sy-jSi^ -Field does the trash pickup,~ there hasn't been much problem with keeping the park clean. ' . Harris said he feels -Parks and Recreation's main problem is the graffiti now covering much of the park. "We are going to install a water line in the park so we can continue to remove graffiti as it occurs," Harris said. A few of the skaters disapprove of some of the graffiti. Devin Kain, 17, thinks some of the complaints written about the park and its design are "lame." Kain also appreciates some of the park's graffiti. " T h e more artistic graffiti is cool, and makes it easier to see the ground and make the landings. It also makes it more of a hometown skate park," he said. Besides comments about the park's design, Kain and Keefe think a few additions should be made to the park, such as a portable toilet, a pop machine and lights so they can continue to skate at night. \ The park is open from 8 a.m. to dusk, which in winter will come as early as 4 p.m. Kain foresees the shorter hours as a problem with crowding, since the time between the school day ending and the park closing will be shortened to a couple of hours. Harris said Parks and Recreation doesn't have any events scheduled yet, but is willing to work with skate shops to set up competitions. Snow said he plans on arranging a competition or contest after the locals have a chance to get used to the park, but would like to see Parks anil Recreation plan something. "The major concern, however, is that the park stay open for the general public," Harris said. Though the skaters and Parks and Recreation officials don't see eye-to-eye on many things, both agreed the most important thing is the park's existence. "It's not the most ideal design, but its there," Snow said. "We have a place to skate and that's what's important." Takuya Waters/The Western Front Skaters complain many walls in the new park are too steep, and transitions too abrupt. Fuel for the i Viking 29 showcases TPV power generation Jennifer Collins THE WESTERN FRONT Hollywood generally depicts futuristic cars as flying, supercharged versions of today's vehicles. . As founder and director of Western's Vehicle Research Institute, Michael R. Seal has overseen the design and production of the "cars of the future" for the last three decades. Aside from their sleek, sports-car design and technical titles, the cars differ entirely from the Hollywood recipe. None of his cars fly. Well, at least not yet. One of the VRI's latest creations, the Viking 29, will be featured in the Whatcom County Museum's "Up to Speed: A Century of Cars" exhibit. It will be on display until Jan. 21 in the Arco Building on Prospect Street, Western's made-from- scratch classic of the future is the finale of an exhibit dedicated to the classics of the past. The Viking 29's glossy green Fiberglas body reflects striking accent lights and appears poised and ready to start its engine. "It looks like a sports car and drives like one too," Seal said with a chuckle, as he discussed the numerous innovative* vehicles designed by the VRI on Sunday at the Whatcom Museum. Described by the Society of Automotive Engineers as "one of the. 10 best faculty advisors in the nation," Seal earned his masters in education from Western in 1967. He went on to earn his doctorate in education from Texas A M in 1970. A self-proclaimed car enthusiast, Don Athens described the Viking 29 as a "work of art." Automobile engineers and enthusiasts alike questioned Seal on the Viking 29's intricate workings.

Members of CONTACT (The Center for Ontological Action) disagree. Matthew Thuney, director of CONTACT, explained humans are indeed in contact with beings from beyond the normal realm of experience. Some members of the organization attest to their own personal encounters. CONTACT was formerly known as the Bellingham UFO .Croup. Members study phenomena such as near-death experiences, UFO and Sasquatch sightings and psychic incidents. Since ontology is the study of the essence of being, CONTACT studies the way these phenomena affect people. "There are really two groups of people," Thuney said. "One looks at evidence and data, and the other looks at the importance of the data to us as humans." He said CONTACT studies both, but focuses more on the latter. 'It's not good science to say somethings not happening simply because it can't happen.â€¢'â€¢ Matthew Thuney Â£ Bigfoot Believer CONTACT also has an anonymous fiencid sightings- r " ,â€¢ -: â€¢- Stephen Harvey, director of the Vancouver Sasquatch Society in Canada, : spoke about his work Saturday at Western's Library. Harvey organizes the annual Sasquatch Symposium, where experts and eyewitnesses gather to share their information and experiences. During Harvey's presentation, a few eyewitnesses shared their experiences and Bigfoot sightings. Jason Valenti recalled his June 1996 sighting in Apalachicola National Forest, just outside of Tallahassee, Fla. Valenti said he had been studying to become a minister in Florida, but after his sighting, he could no longer be a Christian. "It totally shattered my whole belief system," Valenti said. Valenti said he and a friend were in his car when the sighting occurred, and at one point his car was within four feet of a blonde, female sasquatch. He said he was sure the bigfoot was a female, because it "had breasts that hung down to her waist," along with "typical feminine wide hips" and an "hourglass figure.'' Valenti said a week after the Sasquatch sighting, his friend saw a UFO and believes the two events were connected. Yvonne Moore spoke about her encounters with a sasquatch by the name of Orvin. She said her encounters were paranormal. Moore said she contacts, sasquatches in other realms and has not yet seen one in this (the third) dimension. She said Orvin told her sasquatches exist mainly in the fifth and sixth dimensions, and can dematerialize from the third dimension into another. Orvin also told her sasquatches dematerialize when they die, which is why no bones have yet been discovered on Earth. Moore said she has two high-energy vortexes in her back yard where she and Orvin communicate. "Sasquatches are working in the yal-leyB'fbrt^ said. 'They're trying to put energy back into the soil." The group discussed other paranormal possibilities with sasquatches, such as astral traveling and communication on a psychic plane. One woman suggested Sasquatches have higher vibrations and are still there, but are not visible. Harvey said many people who have had encounters explain a type of mental telepathy between the bigfoot and the individual. Both Harvey and Thuney said they think people need to look beyond the sphere of reality, accept the physical evidence that has been found and believe in eyewitness testimony. "It's not good science to say something's not happening simply because it can't happen," Thuney said. "It doesn't do us a lot of good to exist in denial." At the Sasquatch Symposiums, experts and eyewitnesses from various regions bring testimony and paraphernalia, such as photographs, molded footprint castings and occasional hair samples. In 2001, the Sasquatch Symposium will take place in Bellingham in two different sessions. The first, in late September, will cover the biological evidence found in bigfoot research. The second, in early November, will emphasize the paranormal. Harvey encourages anyone who is interested to attend.

Departments of Energy P began funding the L development of the 1994, with two grants 5.4 million. The money is year and the VRI is another grant from the _ of Energy. Without W grants, the institute will not be able to continue its work, Seal said. Despite the strong emphasis on research, Seal said his primary goal for the VRI remains "to train students" in the automotive industry. After all, he said, his students originally proposed the idea of building ah experimental car in 1971. The result of his students' ambition and persistence was Viking 1, which placed third in a car design competition at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Michigan in 1972. With that event and the many that followed, the VRI repeatedly proved itself to be on the cutting edge of experimental car design. Innumerable awards, - company contracts, and grants later, the institute remains at the head of the pack, drawing students from all over the world to study on Western's campus. In addition to their regular course work, students are now working on four projects for automotive competitions this school year, , Seal said. Former student, Ed West came back to the VRI to teach automotive design while he works on his master's degree at the University of Washington. Because of the "hands-on aspect of education" at the VRI, West said he feels, "students get a running start in the industry." Student Jai Prasad was attracted to the VRI because of the large variety of equipment in the research lab. "I know of Boeing or GE employees who have come to our shop and who said they only have one of the machines we have," said Prasad. Mario Treit, owner of the Portland, Or. based General Aviation Services, plans to break the world record for land speed. He tested car bodies in the VRI's wind tunnel to discover the most suitable to achieve his goal of 550 miles per hour next year at a competition at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. At such high speeds, Treit said his main concern for the vehicle is that it doesn't lift off the ground. Ironically, Treit said his goal for his car of the future is that it doesn't fly. "Every bit of information we gather here is information we wouldn't have without Dr. Seal's facility," Treit said. Many students who study at the VRI originally want to design cars that will reach higher speeds, Seal said. His goal, he said, is to make students concerned about cars' environmental effects, and design cars that will have cleaner emissions or use alternative forms of fuel.

With the victory, the Vikings improved their record to 5-1. \ "We knew we were better Scott Mitchell hits Sean Ryan for a touchdown. than these guys both physically and mentally on the field, and we showed that today," quarterback Scott Mitchell said. Western's first drive ended when the Mustangs recovered a Giorgio Usai fumbled. Western's defense came up big as Lance Gustafson sacked the Mustangs' quarterback Coby Crouch, forcing a punt. Erik Totten returned the punt to the Western 29. Three plays later, Mitchell connected with Greg Dykstra on a 71- yard touchdown pass. "We had a sluggish start, but picked things up," offensive run coordinator Scott Hodgkinson said. "It was good to see u s continue to get better, as we've done each week." Western stopped Western New Mexico's next drive in five plays. Totten returned the punt-41 yards. The Mustang defense held and Western had to settle for a 43-yard field goal.

Recovery time is estimated between three weeks to a year, depending on how serious the injury is. Western's defense continued to shut the Mustangs out, helped by Andy Linscott's interception and Dan Ball's forced fumble in the second quarter. The second half began with Totten setting up the first Viking score by returning a punt 49 yards, leading to a five-yard touchdown pass from Mitchell to Dykstra. Totten's punt return put him in Western's record book as he passed the single season punt return yardage record for both a single game and for a season in the season's sixth game. Following Dykstra's touchdown catch, the Vikings recovered an on-side kick. Six plays later, they reached the end zone again on Mitchell's 13-yard pass to Nate Kuhns.

Valley Royal Track Club's Peter Cardie won the race, smashing the course in 31:53. Western's Karl Meller finished eighth with a time of 34:25, and Martin Ranney placed 11th with a time of 34:26. Club Northwest's Shelley Smathers won the women's race, finishing in 21:48. Western's top finisher, Megan Clancy, finished at 23:48. "I felt really good," Clancy said. "My time just didn't reflect it today." "It was a good day for us," coach Kelven "Pee Wee" Halsell said. "The men were excellent and the women were fourth, but it was a good fourth against three quality teams." The teams' next race will be the Fort Casey Challenge, a four-mile race set for 10:30 a.m. Saturday against Seattle Pacific University. Photos by Daniel J.

The Vikings' record improved to 15-5 overall and 8-0 in the PacWest Western Division. On Friday, the Vikings took an 11-2 lead in the opening game, fighting a six-point MSU surge to win 15-10. "That was just a string of points we wound up giving them," coach Diane Flick said. The Vikings took a quick lead in the second game, but the Yellowjackets kept the score close, exchanging possession of the ball 18 times before Western scored the next point. Western won the second game 15-11. The Yellowjackets took a 2-1 lead at the beginning of the third game, their only lead of the evening. The Vikings soon recovered the lead, winning 15-11. Flick said part of Western's performance Friday night was mental preparation. "We just didn't quite get our engine started this evening," Flick said. "It took us awhile to get going." Outside hitter Nicola Parker said maintaining a high energy level was part of the Vikings' trouble Friday night. 'There's always room for improvement ,and I think we had room for a lot tonight," Parker said. Saturday night the Vikings played Western New Mexico. The Vikings and Mustangs tied the first game at eight points before the Mustangs took a 9-8 lead, their only lead of the evening. The Vikings won 15-9. Western dominated the second game, winning 15-5 with the help of four service aces by outside hitter Donja Walker. The Vikings also controlled the third game by scoring five straight points, winning 15-9. Walker, who served six aces in the first two games, said she thought the Vikings played well Saturday night. Daniel J, Peters/The Western Front Michelle Parker and Shannon Rowland combine for a block. Western swept both the Yellowjackets and the Mustangs last weekend. "We controlled the ball real well tonight, Walker said. "They threw a lot of slop over to us and we took care of it." Setter Jill Dean said she thought the team played well because players made an effort to hit every ball, even if they missed. "The team played great tonight, the team hustled," Dean said. "Last night was a win and we'll take it, but tonight was a win we earned." Kickers back on track after three-game skid By Jeremy Gibson THE WESTERN FRONT Western's men's soccer team broke a three-game losing streak, beating Brigham Young University-Hawaii 3-2 Saturday at Civic Stadium. Midfielder Sean Standley scored the game-winning goal 14 minutes into overtime. The game was .scoreless at half-time, but Western started the second half strong, with Standley scoring two goals in a span of 43 seconds. "I thought the team played very well," Standley said. The Seasiders made a strong comeback late in the second half, scoring two goals with four minutes left in the game. "We played well until the last 15 minutes," Western coach Todd Stauber said. "We are having a problem playing as a team for the whole game, though." Western's record improved to 7- 5-0 overall and 2-1-0 in the PacWest Conference. Ruggers fall In Canada Angela D. Smith/The Western Front Sean Standley's teammates congratulate his final goal. Standley now has six goals on the season and 18 career goals, putting him fourth in the school's scoring history. Western's next game is a non-league game 7 p.m. Wednesday at Simon Fraser University. Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Alex McHuron makes other rugby guys get down and dirty in practice last week. By James Lyon THE WESTERN FRONT The Western Warthogs, the men's rugby team, traveled to Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford, B.C. Saturday to play in a 15- team tournament. They lost three tough matches. "It was a great learning experience," club president Alex McHuron said. "We played a lot of new players." .The Warthogs were the only collegiate team in the tournament, which was filled with men's clubs from Canada. This tournament served as a springboard for league play, which starts Oct. 21 against Washington State University in Pullman. "We were just trying to get a feel for each other," flyhalf Jordan Kiesser said. "We threw a lot of new guys in to see what they got, and give them a sense of what rugby's all about." Homecoming win comes easily for Western From FOOTBALL, Page 10 Mese's 71-yard pass to Kuhns and on Nyle Chamber's 13- yard rush. The Mustangs did not score until the fourth quarter, on a 66-yard drive. "I don't like to see anybody run the ball on us like they did in the second half, but it's hard to complain about a 49-to-7 win," head coach Rob Smith said. "We showed our character; we still went out, even with the mistakes, and dominated the football game. It was a good win." The Vikings have a bye week and next will play at Western Oregon University.

Power tripper, former head of the CIA and oil tycoon George Bush and his advisors thought it would be great to free Kuwait after Saddam Hussein took control of it. It was Bush's public relations dream. After a quick and effective destruction of Iraq's infrastructure and military force, he could once and for all rid himself of his "wimp" nickname. He could reinstate America as the supreme super-power on Earth by showing the world and our taxpayers how bad-ass our military really is. Last and most importantly, he could keep American oil companies operating in the Middle East without threat from .Hussein. If Americans did not have interest in Middle Eastern oil, Desert Storm would never have happened. The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait would not have been a big enough concern to launch a full-scale offensive. Similar to Hussein, Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic led the Serbians into war. The American press gave the story tons of publicity because of the atrocious "ethnic cleansing" Milosevic condoned. Since the region produces no export that America buys enough of to justify fighting a big war, America did not launch a military campaign with a clever name. It just bombed the country a couple times to keep NATO happy. When it was clear America was winning Desert Storm, Hussein set his oil fields on fire. If he couldn't keep the oil, he wasn't going to give it to the United States. Eventually our military put out the fires and gained control of the oil fields. The Iraqi no-fly zone is above those same oil fields. This means Iraqi planes can't even fly over southern Iraq; they can't fly over the oil fields they set on fire. Oil powers American cars. Driving down the highway in a gasoline-powered engine is fun, but an engine with the same capabilities exists without the gas. Toyota and Honda finally made production cars that run on both electricity and gas. Oil heats many American houses.

Yahoo pays to print an ad and gets desired result This is not a retraction. Yahoo!, the popular search engine, e- mail and "messenger" company, paid The Western Front some money to print an ad insert in the Welcome Back edition. This ad degraded women, or so the authors of recent letters to the editor say, because it suggested they are "merely objects of sexuality. Fair enough. Advertising does not always please its viewers, and the advertisment in question was meant to shock, offend and be remembered. It is. not positive, inclusive or empowering in any way. It alienated half of this campus, but it made a few others laugh. And everyone paid attention. If this ad were on television or radio, would it have caused such a stir? Would people stop watching their "Must-See TV" if NBC aired an equivalent commercial? Not iikely. Advertising bounces from station to station, magazine to magazine, paper to paper. It's safe to assume The Western Front was not the only student publication in America to print the now- infamous "she's taking her top off' ad. But The Front sure is getting a lot of attention. Did anyone write to Yahoo? Has anyone hunted down the agency who conceived this ad? The Front and its editorial staff did not run this ad or even know of its existence until the paper was in the hands of the community. The advertising department thought it would be a good idea if Western had a newspaper and was able to fund it by printing "advertisements" in said newspaper. Advertising, whether it offends or enthralls, works. Yahoo is still going strong, probably stronger than before thanks to this over-exposure. Western students still use the many services Yahoo provides. This does not mean The Front supports or condones an ad that degrades women. Most of the women and men on the staff reflected the feelings of the campus: some didn't like it, some thought it was funny, others didn't really care. And the root of the problem is apathy. An advertising department representative was quoted as saying "that's how society is." It's a poor excuse â€” but with truth behind it. Like it or not, Yahoo reached an audience, possibly in the minority, who actually enjoyed its debauchery. 'That's how society is." Advertising will continue. People will have problems with it. When this instance is long forgotten, something else will come by and evoke controversy. Choose to give a damn. Burn copies of the advertisement. Work to end sexism. And hell yeah, write letters to The Front. But don't kill the messenger. Especially if she (and he) is on your side.

The case of Ferguson vs. City of Charleston was presented to the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday and a decision is now pending. The case involves 10 women suing the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The women, while hospitalized for prenatal care 10 years . ago, were given drug tests under suspicion of the hospital staff. When their urine showed traces of illegal drugs, their test results were turned over to the police, who then arrested and jailed the women. Levern Edwards, one of 30 women arrested and one of the 10 suing, said she was arrested right after giving birth to her 'MUSC's arrest policy took effect in October 1989, perhaps to strike the fear of God in any pregnant women and in a poor attempt to eliminate all drug use.' son, according to The State, a South Carolina newspaper. "I didn't even see him until he was, like, eight weeks old," Edwards said. This happened because South Carolina is the only state that considers a fetus to be a.child and protects it under child abuse laws. Is this justice? Defining a fetus to be a living human being and protecting it under child abuse laws is ridiculously absurd; This puts the rights of an unborn fetus before those of a woman carrying it. Such laws are a step in the wrong direction, a small step toward taking away a woman's right to choose. According to The Newbury House Dictionary, a fetus is the developed embryo in a human or other mammal. Newbury House defines a child to be a young human being between the stages of birth and puberty. Perhaps a pregnant woman exposed to nicotine smoke should be arrested because the smoke could potentially harm her fetus. Would smoking around a pregnant woman be considered child abuse? Perhaps maternity clothes with "no smoking" signs on them would be a good idea. Better yet, pregnant women could be put under close supervision of a state employee for nine months. This way, they would have no chance of screwing up. Then again, maybe the state's money and employees' time would be better invested in helping and protecting South Carolina's currently living, See VOTERS, Page 11 Late-night dementia making newsroom sexually ambivolent Lisa Curdy CURD'S WAY A friend of mine and I were pondering the oddity of sexual tension and relations over chilies reUenos and fajitas the other night. lt; Why is" it, we thought, the guys we work with call us by our last names? It began at the beginning of the quarter. As time has progressed, the male-female relationship that all males and females have has been replaced by a eunuch lifestyle. Curdy. That's me. Hey, Curd, Curdster, Curdarino, that's what they say. I am a nameless, sexless being who governs over our newsroom. As if this wasn't enough of a blow to my strong sense of feminine sexuality, the males take it one step further, perhaps as a welcome to this new realm of non-sexuality. At about 3 a.m., all hell breaks loose. Strange noises from some males' nether-regions are expelled as if ladies were not in the room. But we are, alas, as if only nameless, sexless beings. As the boys' aromatic arses emit noisy SOSs to the other males around them (to me, it's like a wolf calling to his pack), I realize: There is a boundary, perhaps a tension, that must be released when you work in such close quarters. Using first names is too personal â€” could I even say too sexual? So remove those titles full of our femaleness. Goodbye, cur-vacious and witty Lisa Marie. Hello, amoeba Curd. Turning an office of co-workers into just a collection of heated bodies may be necessary in the making of a successful newsroom. I harken back to yesteryear, when people â€” but not me â€” at my community college newsroom took turns with each other, as if we were a brothel instead of the creator of a fine publication. And I begin to understand ... removing my name removes my appeal as a woman, a shiny-haired, good-smelling, cute-looking girl. So, if only for the peace of the newsroom and the fact that the world is overpopulated, I welcome the use of my last name as a viable alternative in addressing me. Curdy. Kind of like old milk. I can get used to that â€” I just hope the newsroom boys don't go vegan. ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Page 15 ---------- October 10, 2000 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 15 From PATIENTS, Page 14 breathing children. Whatever happened to patient confidentiality? Were the women illegally searched without a warrant when their urine was tested for drugs? According to The State, yes, they were illegally searched. The hospital clearly acted against the Fourth Amendment by releasing the patients' confidential test results to the police and having the women arrested. According to The State, MUSC insisted the arrests were a "special needs exception" to the Fourth Amendment. Is the ACLU involved in this one?' MUSC's arrest policy took effect in October 1989, perhaps to strike the fear of God in any pregnant women and in a poor attempt to eliminate all drug use. Unfortunately, the most likely scenario was the "evil", drug- using, pregnant women who knew about the policy abstained from seeking prenatal care, thus harming themselves and their babies. That in itself could be considered child abuse under South Carolina law. Abetter approach to eliminate high numbers of pregnant drug users would have been using the money it cost to rehabilitate them in a positive way instead, by helping them overcome their addictions. Could this happen at Western? Are Western students safe when they visit the Student Health Center, or could their medical records be turned over to the University Police? The Revised Code of Washington states: "all information and records compiled, obtained or maintained in the course of providing services to either voluntary or involuntary recipients of services at public or private agencies shall be confidential". In other words, thankfully, this could not happen to Western students because it is against Washington state law. Though South Carolina may seem like a far-off land, this case should not escape anyone's mind. If the U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of the city of Charleston, this could happen anywhere â€” even in Washington state. From OIL, Page 13 made headlines. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve contains 571 million barrels. Clinton released 24.5 million barrels to keep the .cost down for Americans heating their homes this winter. Under the contract, 31.56 million barrels will be returned between August and November 2001. America is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, contributor of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. This seems silly for the richest and most technologically advanced country in the world. If the U.S. government and corporate America had their priorities straight they would invest in developing alternative energy sources that would fuel American cars and heat American houses without the waste. Solar electric power is an alternative. Companies could still make a buck and reduce America's dependence on oil. Or maybe fighting wars for oil is an American way of life.

That's the attitude senior tailback Giorgio Usai, anchor of the Viking offense, takes onto the football field. Last year, Usai solidified Western's running attack, rushing for 864 yards. "Having a quick, strong runner like Giorgio really opens up our passing game," wide receiver Greg Dykstra said. Twice rejected by Western recruiters, Usai is showing opponents why he might be one of the region's best-kept secrets. He holds the record for the second- highest sin-g l e - s e a s o n yardage total in college f o o t b a l l f h i s t o r y , ! 2 , 4 7 3 | yards atl! Y u b a * College in California. Western did not recruit him out of Spokane's Central Valley High School, where he won the Class AAA state rushing title, because he was too small. "Size is very overrated in football," Usai said. "Size doesn't show how physical you are or how big of a punch you pack." Five feet eight inches tall and 185 pounds is not bull-dozing size, but Usai's numbers need only speak for themselves. Usai caught Western's eye with four 300-yard rushing games, seven 200-yard rushing games, 14 consecutive 100-yard games for his 2,473 yards two seasons ago at Yuba. Usai's total is second only to the 2,628 yards Oklahoma State and NFL great Barry Sanders netted in 1988. "I still remember one coach flat-out told me, You're too small to play here; you'll just get hurt. That's why we're not recruiting you,"' Usai said. When his first choice passed on him, he chose to walk on at thje University of Idaho. He redshirted at Idaho, but left after one semester, after realizing his playing time would be limited. He attended a quarter at . ,,4Wmmm^ S p o k a n e C o m m u n i t y College before packing his bags for the C a l i f o r n i a junior college s y s t e m , which is f a m o u s for pro-d u c i n g f o o t b a l l stars. A torn hamstring ruined Usai's first season at Yuba. He played in only five games, but still managed an impressive 670 yards rushing. A f t e r i the season, Usai was interested in transferring to Western, the coaching staff stopped returning his calls â€” he was rejected a second time. Intent on a breakout year, Usai and his teammates led Yuba to its first winning season in 14 years.

Usai said being overlooked, fighting criticism and battling injury is what kept him burning inside. "I get sick to my stomach when I see people just give up," Usai said. "Accomplishments in general make me feel good and keep me going. "There is always something driving me, and when football is over I will have to find a way to fill that void," Usai said. He is uncertain of his future plans, but said he is inspired to work with kids and coach football. "He is a hard worker in everything he does, both on and off the field," said R.J.

Peters/The Western Front Middle blocker Michelle Parker goes up for one against MSU-Billings. By Christina Schrum THE WESTERN FRONT With their long brown hair, blue eyes and friendly dispositions, Michelle and Nicola Parker look like average Western students. But when these two sisters step onto the volleyball court, 7 love my sister being on the team. She's probably my closest friend in the world.' Michelle Parker Women's volleyball player they definitely catch fans' attention. "They definitely have some special insight with each other just because they've known each other their whole lives," said head coach Diane Flick. "They're very supportive and they're very encouraging, but they also kick each other in the butt when it needs to happen." Graduates of Auburn High School, the Parker sisters were active members of the volleyball, basketball and tennis teams. During both junior high and high school, they received numerous academic and athletic awards. Michelle received the Most Inspirational award in almost every sport, while Nicola maintained a 4.0 grade point average and was South County Journal Student Athlete of the Year. Senior Michelle, who stands 5 feet 11 inches, plays middle hitter and blocker, while 5 foot 9 inch freshman Nicola plays outside and opposite hitter for the Vikings. Volleyball has always been a shared love for the two sisters. While growing up they could be found in the back yard, hitting the ball back and forth to see how long they could rally. The sisters said they hope this dedication will translate into a successful season. "I think there's a lot of possibilities (for the team)," Michelle said. "Through the years there has been a lot of ups and downs. "As people we find our motivation through different things such as the score, whether or not the coach is watching, what your teammates and parents think (and) those things are all up and down all the time and not constant." Statistics show Michelle leads vthe way in blocks and kills for the Vikings, but "her attitude on the court makes her more of a leader than the statistics," Nicola said. "I admire her so much as a person. Her heart is made up of 100 percent love. She doesn't know how to hate." "I love my sister being on the team," Michelle said. "She's probably my closest friend in the world." "We get along so well and we get excited for each other and she's an awesome sister. I 'We get along so well and we get excited for each other and she's an awesome sister.' Nicola Parker Women's volleyball player admire her intentions for the team," Nicola said. "We can be perfectly honest with each other where it doesn't hurt anybody's feelings and it's the same way on the court." This summer Michelle had the opportunity to coach a two- week volleyball camp at the World's Volleyball Training Center in New York. "My favorite part about camp was meeting people from all over the world," she said. While making special friendships with some of the other coaches, she also gained connections in the volleyball circuit. Starting the preseason with a shoulder injury, Michelle was afraid she wouldn't be able to Daniel J.

Keys THE WESTERN FRONT Par. Bogie. Great lay. Nice drive. Sounds like a great golf game. This one has a twist â€” it is played with discs. Disc golf has been around for quite some time, gaining popularity in the early 1980's. Disc golf can be played by a wide variety of people, a factor that contributed to its growth. "Disc golf is a game for everyone," said Joe Guthrie, owner of Frank's Place, a local pawn shop and supplier of discs. "I've been at (Cornwall Park) and have seen college students having fun, as well as families pushing strollers while playing." The object of disc golf is to get a disc into the basket, a four-foot metal piece that has a round metal cup halfway up the center post. On top of the center post is another circular metal cup with metal chains attached to it to catch the disc. Disc-golf courses are. usually in lush park areas. Enjoying nature and being able to walk through well-maintained parks are other reasons for the growth of the sport. , ._.:-:. "I started playing because I love the outdoors," said Mike Flones, an avid disc golfer who placed third in the novice division at the Cornwall Classic tournament at Cornwall Park. "It is so beautiful: Also, it's free and fun." Cost is another reason for the attraction and growth of disc golf. The disc-golf course at Cornwall Park is free. Doubles tournaments are put on by the Bellingham Disc Golf Club every Sunday at noon. Photos by Angela D. Smith/ The Western Front (Left) Jeremy Peterson tosses one in to make par on the third hole on a sunny, Saturday afternoon. Cornwall Park offers a nine-hole discgolf course. Each par-three hole ranges in difficulty level, from a straight shot from the tee to hole hiding behind an obstacle of trees and overhanging branches.

Peters/The Western Front A member of the men's ice hockey team lays down the Sport Court before Friday night's volleyball game against MSU-Billings. By Christine Callan THE WESTERN FRONT Western's athletic department introduced the women's Division II volleyball team to its advanced and improved Sport Court surface on Sept. 28. c "I love it," Kim Formo said. "It brings pride to our team. No one else in our conference has it, so it's intimidating to other teams." Head coach Diane Flick said Sport Court is.better physically for the team, providing more cushion for ankles and knees. "It is much nicer to dive and roll on," Flick said. ~ The Vikings are the first and only team in the PacWest conference to move on this innovative surface. "After we defeated St. Martin's (on Sept. 29), their coach asked if she could take the floor home with her," Athletic Director Lynda Goodrich said. "It is clear that the new technology has brought with it a lot of excitement and advantages for the players," she said. Not only is it better physically for the joints, but it adds an element of intimidation because no one else in the conference has it. "The athletic department has a great vision for where they want this program to go and a great determination to get there," Goodrich said. "It was done in the spirit of Title IX." Title IX deals with gender equality legislation and pro- 'The athletic department has a great vision for where they want this program to go and a great determination to get it there.' Lynda Goodrich Western athletic director vides equal funding for male and female athletes. "If that was the only reason we did it, it's reason enough," Goodrich said. "It emphasizes volleyball." Instead of the traditional basketball lines, the royal blue surface has only volleyball lines, . which makes it much easier for the fans to see. The surface is extremely durable and also portable, so it is laid down on game day and removed afterward. The men's ice hockey team sets up and tears down the surface as a fund-raising event for its sport, Goodrich said. Overall, most players agree. Sport Court gives them an edge over other teams. "I feel like I can jump higher," middle blocker Michelle Parker said. "I think it's a mental thing, but I'm going-to keep on letting myself believe it." The new volleyball surface must be inter-connected before each match. ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Vikings preview page 5 ---------- October 10, 2000 Sports Preview The Western Front â€¢ 5 shorter shots.

The Cornwall course is similar to a golf course, including a tee box, a fairway and holes! Cornwall is a par-three course, which means players are supposed to reach the hole in three throws. The distances of the holes range from 167 feet to 263 feet. "Every place was up north or 75 miles south," said Mike Carpenter, one of many contributors to get the official Cornwall course in. We all love to play and we wanted somewhere closer to play." On Sept. 24th, the fourth Annual Cornwall Classic took place at Cornwall Park. The tournament had five divisions: women's, novice, amateur, advanced and open: The Bellingham Disc Golf Club awarded prizes for the top finisher in each class, ranging from money to t-shirts. Most players agree the prizes are secondary to the fun they have playing disc golf. "Disc golf is a gas," said Jeff Margolis, owner of Everbody's Store and one of the sponsors of the Cornwall tournament. " Rugger Jordan Kiesser looks to lead the Warthogs while trying to stay busy By Kathryn Ellis THE WESTERN FRONT Rugby's popularity is surging across the nation. As vice president of the rugby club and one of Western's most promising returning players, Jordan Kiesser is in the middle of that wave. Kiesser's rugby career began four years ago, when he was a Andrew Linth/The Western Front Jordan Kiesser enjoys a break during play. junior at Handsworth High School in Vancouver, B.C. "In high school, I played football, soccer and rugby," Kiesser said. "Rugby is a lot of fun to play. You must pay attention at all times because it is very strategic. The physical aspect is also very fun." On a rugby team, 15 players are on the field during play â€” eight forwards and seven backs. Kiesser plays a position called flyhalf. He is in charge of the backs and calls the plays. With an 18-credit load and rugby practice, Kiesser doesn't find much time to do much else. When he has spare time, he said, he enjoys mountain- biking, hiking, camping and working on cars. "I have a 1962 Thunderbird that I work on whenever I have time," Kiesser said. Kiesser, a sophomore, was born in Los Angeles and moved to Vancouver, B.C. when he was 14. He completed high school in Canada. "I chose Western for the engineering department and because of its size," Kiesser said. The middle child of three, Kiesser has sports in his blood. His grandfather played and coached football and track at Andrew Linth/The Western Front Flyhalf Jordan Kiesser and his fellow Warthogs engage in a scrum during Saturday's tournament. Kiesser said one of his favorite parts of rugby is the physical play. the University of Southern California. Kiesser lived in the dormitories his first year of college, but decided off-campus living would suit him better this year and moved into a house with four other people. Living in his new house allows Kiesser to indulge his night-owl tendencies. "I am definitely a night person," said Kiesser. "I usually get a second wind around 9 p.m. and I don't function in the morning. It usually takes me a few hours to wake up." Kiesser's sleeping habits would fit in well in his native city of Los Angeles, but this overachiever claims he likes the pace of life in Bellingham. Kiesser said he is still not busy enough for his liking. If he can, he would like to add a job to his activities. Kiesser's teammates recognize his well-rounded attitude, and how he brings this levelheadedness to the rugby field. "Jordan is a great player because he is very athletic and very experienced," Alex Mchuron, the club's president, said. "He is a well-rounded player that excels in each part of the game." ---------- Western Front 2000-10-10 - Vikings preview page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ The Western Front Sports Preview October 10, 2000 Modest runner Patrick Murphy is quietly making a huge impact By Laura Mecca THE WESTERN FRONT It's hard to tell by talking with him that Patrick Murphy is a rookie with senior accomplishments on Western's cross country team. His modest personality makes it tough to get the facts. This five foot nine inch runner has no explanation for his speed and agility on the trails. In his first college meet on Sept. 30, Murphy placed second on the team. "The second meet I placed first, but a lot of the guys on the team weren't there," Murphy said. He said his interest for running was piqued when he saw how much fun his brothers and father had running. "I guess it kind of rubbed off," Murphy said. Murphy runs an average of 70 miles per week year-round. He began 'Being in that top group as a freshman is a good indicator in itself. 'Tee Wee" Halsell Head Cross Country Coach running as a way to explore his home in Montana. "It started out just as a way to get out and see the different trails we have in Montana," Murphy said. Murphy said he began running for his high school team, Montana's state champions, when he was a sophomore. "Patrick was a pleasant surprise to us," Western head cross country coach Kelvin "Pee Wee" Halsell said. Murphy will be the only freshman running in the top seven spots on the team, Halsell said. "He is showing some signs of being a-good collegiate runner," Halsell said. "Being in that top group as~ a freshman is a good indicator in itself." Halsell attributed Murphy's potential to his competitive drive. "I am hoping that someday he'll work himself into an All-American as well as an academic Ail-American," Halsell said. "Patrick is a very well-rounded young man." Murphy said his speed and training came in handy this summer when he worked near Glacier State Park. "I ran into a lot of grizzlies this summer," Murphy said. "You stop and you freak out. You move back slowly and then when you get out, you run like hell!" , Daniel J.

Born and raised in Kamuela, Hawaii, Anderson was recruited by Western last year from her hometown high school, Parker High. This is her second year playing on the women's varsity soccer team. Anderson grew up watching her older brother, Chris, a soccer goalie as well as hockey, and he took his sister under his wing and taught her the ways of goal-keeping. With 55 saves under her belt this season, he must have done something right. WELCOME STUDENTS! 9, THUR - SAT â€¢ L IW MUSIC JOIN ANNA'S BIRTHDAY CLUB!

Anderson said she has to wear white socks, even though the team uniform calls for blue. Soccer is a big part of Anderson's life, like a friend. When her career is done, when there is no more practice or running, no more injuries or celebrations, she said she will greatly miss it. She said she can see herself as an old granny, relishing in the memories of the good old days. But for now, Anderson enjoys being on the field, playing an "awesome" game and being out there for her team. After 10 years of playing soccer, Anderson said her time here at Western has given her a new respect for the game. "In high school you play for yourself, because you think it would be fun to play," she said. "Here you do it for the team. Sometimes I want to quit, but Daniel J. Peters/The Western-Front Shaye Anderson is as unstoppable during practice as she is in a game. you just have a different will for the game at this level. This team has taught me to keep pushing for the next level." "Shaye probably has the toughest job on the team," Carin Nash, Anderson's teammate said. "She has to see the whole field and help direct the team. She has a hard job in terms of keeping the lines of communication open on the field." With a record of 4-1-1 in league for this season, the Vikings are currently second in the league. Anderson said being in the running for League PacWest Championship is a great motivator for the team right now. How can Anderson help her team continue this winning streak?

Volleyball is a sport requiring communication, persistence and energy. Jill Dean, senior setter for Western's volleyball team, has these qualities and more.. "Jill brings maturity and confidence to the team," Diane Flick, Western's volleyball coach, said. "She's a natural leader who likes to take charge of challenging situations and the team responds to her leadership." Senior captain Donja Walker has played against Dean in club volleyball. "Jill has taken it more upon herself to lead on the court," Walker said. "She's really smart. She knows the game. She knows how the game flows and how to play it. She knows the game really well." Dean said she has found the fun in 'She has a passion for the sport. You can see by the way she plays. She puts her heart into it.' Nicola Parker Western volleyball player the game. In her senior season, Dean said she wants to have some fun â€” and include her teammates as well. "Jill is a very outgoing, mature student and athlete with a great sense of humor," Flick said. "She can make me laugh at the drop of a hat." "She can be relaxed at times, but other times she can be like 'let's play,"'Walker said. Freshman Nicola Parker said setters are one of the most important positions on the team and it's important to click with the setter. Parker said Dean becomes a partner with the "hitter and adjusts to make the partnership work. "The person who gets the glory is the hitter with.kills," Parker said. "Setters don't get the glory they deserve. They have to have a team attitude." Dean said a team needs to have all 13 players dedicated to the game. "It's a true team sport," Dean said. "It's not Michael Jordan and the Bulls or Shawn Kemp and the Sonics. It's Western volleyball." Former Western volleyball coach Michael DiMarco said Dean takes responsibility for her own actions: If she has a problem with the way she is playing, she corrects it.

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

These coeds will take office next fall quarter. Campus Day Celebration Set; Norsemen's Beards Growing By CATHERINE ANDERSON A flashy stocking dance, featuring the Hard Time theme of Campus Day, will top off the festivities of this year's school skipping. The dance will begin at eight o'clock, and will include presentation of prizes for the best skits, the best beards, and the flashiest, loudest pair of socks on the floor. The~Hard Time theme will be followed at the dance, and signs and deco^ rations will bring out this point. Times will be so tough that refreshments will be cokes and cokes only. However, the prizes will be substantial and well-deserved- Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, co-chairmen of Campus Day, have stated that absolutely no bobby pins, hair pins, ribbons, clips, rubber bands, or toasters shall be worn in the girls' hair the day before Campus Day. This point is emphasized in every announcement. Absolutely nothing shall J»e worn in the hair. For the rest of their costume, students are advised to dress in their oldest and saddest outfits, and men are to wear their hair Ish-Ka-bibble style, and beards of all lengths, colors, and descriptions will also be worn. Students may invite guests to the Campus Day dance, but there must be one college student per couple. Prizes will be given at intermission, and the dance will end at 10:30 or 11- And as for those socks! Polka' dots, loud stripes, circles, bows on. them, plaids, and various patterns will be worn, and according to dance chairman Herb Witt, "the louder the better." Awards will be given to both men and women for the most eye-filling stockings. Can you borrow a pair of Pa's?

Newsletter, published by the Collegian staff, is financed jointly by Valkyrie, Collegian, Klip-sun and money which was donated by students at the Publications Prom. The single sheet, similar to last years', will be written like a letter, with pictures to illustrate certain points. Topics will include the year's recreation and activities including the Prom, Winter Show, and sports. Commencement Week Plans Include Many Social and Serious Events Commencement week plans at WWC, June 6 to Friday, June 8, are being made by a committee headed by Miss Piatt of the Science department. ALUMNI BANQUET Saturday, June 2, at 6 p. m., the first time since June 6, 1942, the graduating class will be guests of the school at an alumni banquet in Edens Hall.

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

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

Neither had I, until this morning. It could mean any number of things; which one it does, I do not know. It may refer to tennis rackets, which are associated with springtime. On the other hand, it may imply the guff, noise, and racket in this column. It may, however, indicate the slang use of racket— a dodge or trick; an imposture. Now we are getting somewhere, but where? —•— BEARDS BLOSSOM Hooray! The men of WWC are going to give forth with beards; the only thing left at which they excel the coeds. For a week the men will be men and demonstrate their masculinity with growths of bristles at one extreme and eider down at the other. Dale"Burklund's thick, black beard is t h e most potential winner. If Roger Nelson can cultivate a slight growth, he will probably have the blondest beard. The golf enthusiasts have been getting in a f ew practice licks for the coining golf tournament. Tis rumored that Allen Thon almost broke a hundred. Seven men have now signed up for the tournament. Wark, Sivertson, Thon, Burklund, Riddle, Pavlicek, and some character called Currie have all affixed their John Henries. Match play gets underway on the seventh. This warm weather has brought out the Hospice boys; their tennis tourney is going full tilt. Nelson will keep you informed of results. —•— VIKS DARKHORSE Intercollegiate sports competition has returned to WWC with a bang. The Vikings are the darkhorse in the coming Tri-Modern Dance Meet with EWC and CWC. The Viks are after the Winco title this year.

Pat Cooper is the standout in the field events on this year's team and Marilyn Booras leads in the sprints. —•— A sports event I will remember for a long time is a rugby match I witnessed between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. More interetsing than the game itself was the crowd reaction to the contest. There was no organized cheering as we have at football games. In fact, by comparison, there was no cheering to amount to anything at all. When the ball was dropped between the two lines at the start of the game, one player cleverly worked the ball back to his teammates with his feet and received a round of handclapping from the crowd and exclamations of "Well heeled ball!" If a team executed a play well they were praised by spectators of both sides with "Well played, varsity!" or "Good play, Oxford!" When a player pulled an out and out boner he was applauded, nevertheless, and the spectators said, "Jolly good effort." —•— AMERICANS PLAY What a contrast was an exhibition American football game between an air corps team and a ground force team that was held the same day. The American spectators were organized by cheerleaders into too madly hysterical groups that gave forth with bloodthirsty yells such as "Give them the axe," with its implications of mayhem. A player who pulled a boner received hoots and hollers of derision. All sorts of derogatory remarks were directed at the referee when he placed a penalty on a team. I t was just like a college football game in the States. As th game progressed, enthusiasm mounted to a high pitch and the yelling increased. An Englishman summed up the reaction of his people to the game when he saicl to me, "I say, I'm afraid there is going to be trouble." —•— POOR CUNDER Our boy, Cunder Haegg, is having a rough time in the United States, came in a slow fourth in the Penn Relays last Week. That transportation he is awaiting had better materialize rapidly. —•— News has arrived of the defeat of Pavlicek's seventh grade track team by Emie Ludwick's Lynden seventh graders. Ludwick's luminaries won the meet 23 to 1. Pavy claims his team would have made a better showing if they had had more practice. Hal Arnasoh, the Bellingham High athlete, was played up by the Seattle P.-I. this week for his pitching ability. He is an outstanding prospect for organized baseball. Arhason is a versatile fellow. Besides being an outstanding baseball player, Arnason is an all-state basketball player, is an all-Cross State football end, is ASB president at Bellingham High, and is on the honor roll.

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

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

It seems Lucille must have been a bad girl or something cause she got spanked good and proper this week by a certain blonde man about the campus. What was that for, Lucille? Another interesting but not very consistent comment that was overheard at the same time was "It's because I like to hold you." ENTJFF SAID! ! ! THE INNER SANCTUM Did you see the spread that Hospice Inn had last week? Well, we are going to try and keep up the good work. We know the women are just dying to find out what is going on in the InnerSanctum. Hospice was left rather vacant last week-end. A good share of the men, including Dale Burklund, Bob Myers, George Jurgens and Jack Danley packed up all of their dirty clothes and took off for home. The first match of the House Tennis Tournament was played Monday night between Lloyd Jones and Tom Riddle, with Tom winning 6-2, 6-1. The grudge match of the tournament will be played Friday evening between Ping Pong Pavy and Herb Witt. They say they are going to charge 10 cents per person, but sneak around to the back gate and Jack Graham will see that you get in for a nickle. Of course, this is strictly off the record, so don't spread it around. Coach Pavy has been looking rather blue for the past week. The cause: the Lynden team of a former WWC man, Ernie Ludwick, beat Pavy's seventh grade team from the Campus school, 23 to 1. Is Hospice ever getting swanky, or is it? We now have a Rose Room. Pavlicek and Jurgens have been doing, what they call interior decorating. They have big sheets of red paper on their desks and when the light hits it, WOW!

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

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

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

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

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

In it, there were no carpets, nor easy chairs, nor luxuries; herbs lined the sides of the spare front parlor, and a poor dresser stood in the kitchen. From this kitchen dresser the widow ate her scant breakfasts, dinners and suppers, with an occasional egg, or, at most, two, to celebrate a holiday. These eggs were laid by Dame Bart-lett, spouse of King Chanticleer, who with him and her six daughters, roamed the widow's yard. Chanticleer went to sleep one night, and close to him slept his dame and Prices Moderate; Five course dinner every evening from 5 to 8 at 60c.

He had slept some time, when he groaned a groan and moaned a moan. "Get up! Wake up!" said Dame Partlett. "What ails you? What's the matter?" She shook him, for he was slow to waken. Chanticleer, with a deep sigh, drew himself up and Dame Partlett saw deep, dark hollows under his eyes, and saw a dejected forlornness in the face of her worse half. "I have had a dream," said he. "An uncouth shape, large and yet slender, came skulking toward me. I saw the creature had sharp eyes, perked ears, a long bushy tail, a slinky form and a sharp, pointed snout, withal." "You need a worm," said his practical wife. They went out of the house, side by side, hopping down the steps, and into the spring air. King Chanticleer said: "I feel better. I enjoy seeing the fresh green leaves of spring. The morning sunshine clears away the cold from my bones, but I still have a feeling that my dream is a warning." "Nonsense," said his wife. He answered: "I have known of many such things happening to people, after a dream like mine had warned them." His wife wanted to argue—she did. Then the chickens quoted a little Plato and they went in search of worms. As they scratched the mellow earth in search of its wriggley inhabitants, they were watched by a pair of sharp eyes which peered at them thru the rails of the fence. Far better that Chanticleer had stayed on his beam. The fox skulked in the corner till night. The chickens went to bed at sundown, as all nice chickens should. Then Chanticleer saw a slinking form come in the narrow doorway. He was very startled and nearly lost his equilibrium. He had never seen a fox. From instinct he shunned the pointed-nosed creature as a sailor shuns a rock. "Cluck, cluck," said he in a deep squawk. "Be not alarmed, beautiful bird," said the fox. "As I stood outside I heard a song, as of the angels. I did not intend to come but the song lured me on in spite of myself. It is no wonder you are a. good singer. Your father was also. I knew him intimately." The cock was pleased and accepted this flattery. "And now sing for me," said the fox. Chanticleer threw back his head, shut his eyes and flapped his wings. "Listen," he said; but the fox had him by the throat. His would-be song was changed to a throaty squawk, and the fox was gone, Chanticleer with him. Chanticleer's cries roused his spouse. Her cries roused the widow, and her cries the vicar and so on, till the whole village was in pursuit of the fox; people shouting, hounds baying, chickens crowing. A general bedlam ensued. The cock was frightened, but be-thot himself of a scheme. "Speak to them, Reynard," said he. "You are safe and the woods and your den are at hand. Tell them you are king and they are foolish to try to catch you." The fox obeyed, but no sooner had he opened his mouth than the cock was loose and had flown into a maple by the side of the road. The fox was very foxey and thot by soft words to again win over the cock. So, "Come down," said he. "Let us treat this matter peaceably. I only meant to take you over to my house for dinner. I should have been much pleased to have had you there. I only meant to frighten you a bit that you might enjoy the dinner the more. For 'Sweet is pleasure after pain,'" said he, quoting a little Dryden. "Nay," said the cock, "only idiots are fooled twice. We shall consider the peace movement, but I'll stay right here the while we consider it. We shall follow the policy of watchful waiting."

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

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

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

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

"MyWestern.com converts information that students need so they don't have to go all over the place for it," said Jerry Boles, vice provost for information and telecommunication services, The MyWestern.com Web site will serve as a gateway site for checking e-mail, getting and receiving information on student courses and campus events and also links to student accounts, Boles said.

The cost of utilities at Western will exceed the budgeted level by about $600,000 for the 2000- 2001 fiscal year, which ends June 30, said Jack Cooley, executive director for University Planning and Analysis. The Washington state Legislature has not provided budget increases to match increasing utilities prices, which means Western is not receiving additional state funding for the expected $1.5 million dollar increase in utility costs over the next two years, Cooley said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Most of the work will becosmetic, Elliott said, with new lighting, new carpets and additional display space being added to help upgrade the facility. In addition to the new lights and carpets, the Post Office will be relocated to thearea that is now the entrance and the entrance will be moved to the front-center of the building. Also,mechanical improvements and the installation of floor and ceiling tiles will be part of the remodel, Elliot said. The cost of the project was estimated to be about $300,000 before the bidding was opened onMarch 21. Much to the suprise of Elliott and the Associated Students, who had approved thespending, all seven bids submitted were below that amount.

When completed, the renovated bookstore will have 20 percent more selling spaceand a more efficient cash register setup, Elliott said. Complaints from students who are forced to wait in one line to buy books and then wait in another line to buy general merchandise are sure todecrease, he said. The new set-up will allow for buying books and general merchandise at oneregister. With the warm weather and decreased enrollment, construction will move swiftly, Elliott said. A three week closure at the end of the nine-week session, which is the usual summer schedule, willsee the finishing touches completed in time for the fall rush. Bookstore hours will remain the same upto that point. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 3 ---------- Western Front 3 Tuesday, June 28,1983 Huxley grad program may be offered winter By MARGARETCARLSON Huxley College of Environmental Studies will offer a graduate program, beginning the winter of 1984, if Western's Board of Trustees approves the recommendation by the Council for Post-secondary Education. Earlier this month, the CPE approved the program that has been in planningstages since 1980. Huxley Dean Richard Mayer said if the board accepts the plan, the graduate program will be offered winter quarter. - The graduate program would offer a master of science degree inenvironmental science to anyone with a bachelor's degree in one of the sciences and an interest in theenvironment, Mayer said. He said the master's program is "the most exciting development in Huxleysince it began in 1968." Mayer said the program is the first of its kind in the state. Although graduateprograms in environmental science are offered by other institutions in this region, the Huxley program isunparalleled. Students will have a choice of three areas of concentration: wildlife toxicology, ecosystemprocesses and environmental chemistry, a cooperative program between Huxley and Western'schemistry department. Each student must take a minimum of 45 credits, including a thesis. No othercollege or university in Washington offers a specialized graduate program emphasizing research inthe areas of Huxley's concentration. Mayer said the research students do for their thesis will linkHuxley and Western with environmental problem-solving in the region. Students will research problems such as acid rain, water-quality, the toxic effect of pesticides and development around LakeWhatcom. By conducting environmental research in our community, Mayer said he hopes to attractexternal funding from the state and federal governments, industry, private businesses7 andfoundations. Huxley's program also differs from other graduate programs in the region by requiringstudents to develop their own plan of study. Students work individually with an adviser to plan a course of study to meet their goals. Although Huxley has received about 250 letters asking about a master'sprogram, Mayer said he expects only about 12 students to enroll the first quarter and that eventuallyenrollment may be limited to 25. Alumni's parents give Western $75,000 land By DAN RAMSAYProperty vallued at approximately $75,000 was donated to Western by a Vancouver, Washington couplewhose son is a Western graduate. George and Sara Holzman donated the property, which is to be sold,with the proceeds from the sale used to maintain, improve and further Western's academic programs andactivities with special attention to biology, chemistry and their related fields. Their son, ThomasHolzman, graduated from Western in 1974 with a bachelor of science degree in biology. He went on toearn a Ph.D. in biochemistry and has just completed post-doctoral studies at Texas A M University. Hecurrently is employed by the Upjohn Corporation. George Holzman retired from Shell Oil Company in1980 after managing Shell's Anacortes refinery for about a year. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and wasgeneral manager of all Shell refineries during the 1970s. The property is located in Anacortes and divided into eight lots, Sara Holzman said, from her home in Vancouver last Friday. "It's not waterfront property," she said, "It's primarily a rock with beautiful views of the Canadian Rockies and the Guemes Channel." She explained that her husband dealt with Western on different occasions and he felt that theproceeds from this land would help the school. Since their son was a graduate of Western, theyespecially hoped to help the areas he studied in. "This very generous gift by the Holzmans will provide acontinuing benefit to Western and its present and future students," said Western President G. RobertRoss.

North American Indian photos now on display By DON HUDDLESTON Acollection of rare photographs by Edward S. Curtis is currently on display in the Viking UnionGallery. The photographs are from the original portfolios of Curtis' 20- volume work, "The North Ameri;(can Indian". ' Curtis, who thought the American Indian was a vanishing race, began recording allavailable information about Indian culture in 1896. He estimated the project would take ten years. Afterten years, the enormous undertaking was not only unfinished, but Cur-itis had run out of money. Thelegendary J. Pierpont Morgan stepped in and financed the iremainder of Curtis' research. By 1930 theproject was completed. Curtis had studied more than 80 tribes and taken more than 40,000 pictures.The 20-volume set collected dust for 40 years after it was published. In 1971, the Pierpont Librarypresented a major exhibition pf Curtis' work. Curtis, who died in 1952 at age 84, was finallyrecognized. Nearly all of Curtis' exposures were made on glass or copper plates. The portfolios wereprinted on a special Japanese vellum, a fine parchment made of animal skin, and are in surprisinglygood condition. The Curtis exhibit is taken from the collection of Louis Flury and Company's Edward S.Curtis Gallery in Seattle.

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

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

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